Singapore

GENERAL INFORMATION

Singapore is a country with an approximate area of one thousand square kilometers (UNO, 2008). The
population is 4,836,691 and the sex ratio (men per hundred women) is 102 (UNO, 2009). The proportion
of the population under the age of 18 years is 20% and the proportion above age 60 is 9% (UNO, 2009).
The literacy rate is 100% for men and for women (UN Statistics, 2008). The life expectancy at birth is 78
years for males and 83 years for females (UNO, 2005-2010). The healthy life expectancy at birth is 71
years for males and 83 years for females (UNPD, 2010). The country is in the high income group (based
on 2010 World Bank criteria). The total expenditure on health as a percentage of gross domestic product is
3.88% and the per capita government expenditure on health (PPP int. $) is $509.0 (WHO, 2006). The
suicide rate for males is 12.9 per 100,000 population and for females is 7.7 per 100,000 population. In
Singapore, neuropsychiatric disorders are estimated to contribute to 24.4% of the global burden of disease
(WHO, 2008).

GOVERNANCE

An officially approved mental health policy exists and was approved or most recently revised in 2006.
Mental health is also specifically mentioned in the general health policy.

A mental health plan exists and was approved or most recently revised in 2006. The mental health plan
components include:
● Timelines for the implementation of the mental health plan.
● Funding allocation for the implementation of half or more of the items in the mental health plan.
● Shift of services and resources from mental hospitals to community mental health facilities.
● Integration of mental health services into primary care.

Dedicated mental health legislation exists and was initiated or most recently revised in 2010. Legal
provisions concerning mental health are also covered in other laws (e.g., welfare, disability, general health
legislation etc.).

FINANCING

Mental health expenditures by the government health department/ministry are 4.14% of the total health
budget. Mental hospital expenditures are 71.71% of the total mental health budget.

MENTAL HEALTH CARE DELIVERY

Primary Care
Prescription regulations authorize primary health care doctors to prescribe and/or to continue prescription
of psychotherapeutic medicines. In contrast, the department of health does not authorize primary health
care nurses to prescribe and/or to continue prescription of psychotherapeutic medicines. Similarly, official
policy does not permit primary health care nurses to independently diagnose and treat mental disorders
within the primary care system.
Officially approved manuals on the management and treatment of mental disorders are available in the
majority of primary health care clinics. Official referral procedures for referring persons from primary
care to secondary/tertiary care exist as do referral procedures from tertiary/secondary to primary care.

This Scandinavian nation of 5.6 million isn't even in the top 10 in per capita GDP, but it reached No. 1 in the U.N.'s World Happiness Report this year thanks to high scores for a strong social support system, freedom to live as one please and low percieved business and government corruption.

THE THIRD DIMENSION

The Third Dimension - Physical Reality of the Conscious Being
The Third Dimension is where energy congeals into a dark, dense pool of matter. This is the plane of thought or mind. The densest stratum of this plane contains our own more worldly and material thoughts.

Because of our Planetary coding/consciousness we are able to identify with matter and therefore become dense ourselves. The Universe allows the illusion of Free-Will on the Third and Fourth Dimensions which gives us the experience of acting like saints or demons or somewhere in between... by choice.

Beings believing that the Third is the only Dimension suffer from the illusion of separation from their Spirit. The physical senses cannot detect Spirit which is beyond form. If we are not One with Spirit then we cannot be at one with others. This Dimension of Thought has the ability to interpenetrate all of life, like a sort of etheric river of water. It is not confined to the brain, which actually acts more like a kind of telephone switching station to all the thoughts that pass through it. Our ability to experience beauty while in such density, shows that we live in a loving Universe.

That is why if we can contact the higher strata of the mind-world by training the corresponding parts of our brain, as all seekers have attempted to do, we shall gain inconceivable knowledge.

The practice of Remote Viewing attempts to tap into this holographic practice. Humans possess a body made up of the material of the Physical Plane world...a body containing chemicals in liquid, solid and gaseous states. This body is interpenetrated by another body, which is its counterpart, known as the Etheric Body. It constitutes a fine web through which the Electromagnetic Life-forces are fed into the physical body from the outer Universe.

The combination of these two bodies contain the conscious knowledge of all 12 Dimensions... The Sacred Hologram

THE MATERIAL WORLD(The Third Dimension).

THE MATERIAL WORLD
Is the dominant Mode in which Humanity
And other species Live and Operate
The motivating or driving Forces in this World
Are called "Instincts"
Most beings on the planet Today base their Actions
Predominantly on information they Receive
From their survival, sexual, hierarchical, and territorial Instincts
Acting on these instructions makes statements to the Universe
About what is Real to the Actor

For the most part... these pictures of Reality
Stem from information that is Encoded
In the DNA of the Physical Body
These Physical-Body Pictures of Reality May Imply:


I am Mortal
I need a Mate
I need Personal Power to rule Others
I need to own certain Things
I need another person to make me Happy
I need Control of my Space


The Mental body... too... generates pictures of Reality
It creates pictures that say things Like
"I must figure it all Out"
"I need to be Right"
"It's okay to lie if I have a good enough Reason"
"I am better than they Are"
"She's going to say this... and then I'll say that...."
For various reasons... Western Civilization
Has elevated the Mental Body
To a Male God-like Status

There are several methodologies which contend that by controlling the mental body, negative experiences can be transcended, and that we can even obtain enlightenmentand Nirvana.

The rationale goes:

"I create my own reality with my thoughts. Therefore, if I eliminate negative thoughts and only think positive ones, then my life will change for the better."

This implies that negative thoughts are the source of one's negative experiences, and the work then becomes to eradicate them.

You become your own thought Police
And... since Whatever you're fascinated With
...You get more Of...
Then being fascinated with negative Thoughts
Just brings more of them!

Plus... there is another aspect to Consider
The Universe rearranges itself to Accommodate
Your picture of Reality
The "think-only-positive- thoughts" Strategy
Assumes that the Mental body is the sole Composer
Of one's picture of reality - but it is Not
The Physical Body has its own Views and Convictions
Of What is Real
As does the Emotional Body
As well as the Spiritual Body...the I AM

Here is a simple story to illustrate This...

There was a mighty lion, Janro, who was born in a small zoo. As she grew, she made it a point to investigate, as best as she could, all of the aspects of the world around her. All of the other lions in this zoo had been born in captivity, as well. Their cages were indoors.

One day, another lion was added to the group, but she was captured in the wild. When she spoke of the vast savannas, the tall, spreading trees, the birds in the sky, and the other wonders she knew of, Janro and the others scoffed. "How could this be!" they would exclaim.

We've had plenty of time to investigate this world. We know precisely the limits of our cages, what other kinds of animals there are, where we came from, and how we get fed. "What you are telling us is preposterous! Prove it!"

Beings who are exploring the Material World
And taking a Stand for its Validity
Suffer from the Illusion of Separation
From their Spirit

This should be obvious - the Physical Senses cannot detect Spirit, which is beyond form. Consequently, if we are not at one with our Spirit, then we cannot be at one with others, because Oneness is an attribute of the spiritual body. They believe they must fight and struggle to exist, courtesy of the animal instincts. They perceive enemies.


Their actions are a series of strategies being played out. They fear lack and condemnation, both which lurk in the background of their consciousness like hungry cheetahs. They need outside authorities to tell them how to reach God/dess and to tell them what is real.

Today... Scientists are the Priests of What's Real...
When we find ourselves acting out and identifying with any of these pictures of reality and agreeing that they are real, you may say with confidence... "I am Living in a Material World."

Other experiences of this Domain are:

• Being caught up in a stream of Thought
• Planning sexual Strategies
• Mentally rehearsing what you're going to say when you confront Someone (which you never end up saying, anyway, when the time comes)
• Being Sarcastic
• Being Obnoxious
• Being Critical
• Physically or verbally attacking Someone
• Proving you're right...or the other Wrong
• Defending or claiming your Space

The way that we Perceive and Define Ourselves
Implies which World we are living In
A few Identities that take a Stand
For the validity of The Material World are:

"I am A:..."

• hard worker
• smart person
• honest person
• business person, (or, name a profession)
• parent/spouse/child
• awesome/inadequate lover
• responsible person
• funny person
• student/teacher
• clever/shrewd

There is nothing wrong with these identities or with exploring the Material World; we all do it to some degree or another; let's face it -we're all in human forms.

It's an option that our Spirits
Have chosen to Explore, for whatever reason.
The important Point
Is not what we are Exploring
But the Position that our Consciousness is In
With Relation to the Action

YOUR BIG OPPORTUNITY

You have only one judge—your word. Jesus Christ said; "I say unto you that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment, for by thy word thou shalt be justified, and by thy word thou shalt be condemned."

Every day is a day of Judgment. We used to be taught that it would be at the end of the world. Look back in your life and see how you have attracted either happiness or disaster through your words. The subconscious has no sense of humor. People joke destructively about themselves and the subconscious takes it seriously. It is because the mental picture you make while speaking impresses the subconscious and works out on the external. A person who knows the power of the word becomes very careful of his conversation. He has only to watch the reaction of his words to know they do not return void. People make their worst mistakes by speaking while they are angry or resentful, because there is so much ill-feeling back of their words. Owing to the vibratory power of words, what you voice, you begin to attract. People who continually speak of disease, invariably attract disease.

Invisible forces are ever working for man, who is always pulling the strings himself, though he does not know it. We read in the Bible "life and death are in the power of the tongue." Yet most people are speaking destructively from morning until night. It is because they have formed a habit of criticism, condemnation and complaint and are eager to tell you of their misfortunes and how mean all their relatives are. They wear their friends out and people avoid them. They are talking themselves into a flock of troubles. Now that we know the power of the word why not take advantage of it? We take advantage of the radio, the telephone and aeroplanes but live with the Mound-builders in conversation.

Science and religion are now coming together. Science is discovering the power within the atom; metaphysics teaches the power within thoughts and words. We are dealing with dynamite when we deal with words. Think of the power of the word in healing! A word is spoken and a chemical change takes place in the body.


One of my friends was seriously ill. The doctor said she had chronic bronchitis and was on the verge of pneumonia. Her daughters and the doctor rushed her to bed and she had a nurse, but weeks passed and there was no improvement. She was a Truth student but for over a year had attended no meetings nor had she kept up her reading. One morning she telephoned me and said, "Please speak the word and get me out of this! I can't stand it any more; I'm not sick, I'm just disgusted. So much negative talk and thought have almost floored me." Through the spoken word and her affirmation of Truth immediately there was a change for the better. She had a strong hunch to go out and was told it would be dangerous, but by this time she was following Divine Guidance. She went out and called on me and said she was going to attend a luncheon the next day. What had happened? The words of Truth were making a change in her mind and a chemical change was taking place in her body. We are told that if we believe, never doubting, we can say to that mountain, "Be thou removed," and it would disappear into the sea.

The inexhaustible energy in man is released by good-will. A man free from fear, undisturbed by appearances, sending good-will to men and nations, could say to these mountains of hate and war; "Be thou removed" and they would return to their native nothingness.

Resentment and intolerance rob man of his power. We should have signs in the subways and shops "Watch your thoughts!" "Watch your words!"

Let us now be careful in directing this dynamic force within us. Let us direct it to heal, bless and prosper and direct it in waves of good to the whole world. It goes out a mighty force, but noiseless! Thought, the strongest power in the Universe is without sound. Your good-will sweeps all obstacles from your pathway and your heart's desire is released for you.

What is really yours? The answer is: "All that the kingdom affords is yours." Every righteous desire of the heart is promised you. There are three thousand promises in the Bible, but these gifts can come to us only if we can believe them possible, for everything comes through you—not to you. All life is vibration. Feel rich, and you attract riches. Feel successful and you become successful.

I knew of a small boy who was born in a little country town with no advantages, but he always felt successful; he had the conviction that when he grew up he would be a big artist. No one could discourage him because he was success; he had only success thoughts; he radiated success. At an early age he left the small town and went to a big city and to support himself he got a position as a newspaper artist on a daily paper, all this without previous preparation. It never occurred to him that it could not be done. He went to an art school and immediately became a shining light. He never studied in an academic way. Whatever he once saw he remembered. In a few years he went to a still larger city and became a well-known artist. This success came to him because he was always seeing success. "I will give to you the land that thou seeth."

The children of Israel were told that they could have all the land that they could see. The Bible is a metaphysical book and it is speaking to the individual. This minute, it says to each one of us, "I will give to you the land that thou seeth." So, what are you seeing with your inner eye? What pictures are you inviting into your life? The imaging faculty has been called the scissors of the mind. If you have failure thoughts, reverse the thought with a success thought. This sounds easy enough to do, but when a failure thought has become a habit, it takes eternal vigilance to dislodge it. That is when a powerful affirmation is needed. You cannot always control your thought but you can control your word, and eventually the word impresses the subconscious and wins out.

If you are in a negative state of mind just take the statement: "I look with wonder at that which is before me!" It creates an expectancy of something wonderful and something wonderful will come to you. Cultivate the feeling that miracles and wonders are coming to pass. Cultivate a success expectancy.

Very few people bring into life what is rightfully theirs. They live on the outskirts of their heart's desire. It always seems too good to be true. To the person spiritually awake nothing is too good to be true.

If you want to hear people talking who are still asleep in the Adamic dream, go to a hairdresser's establishment. The Adamic dream is the illusion of opposites. Adam fell into a deep sleep having eaten of the tree of illusion. Of course, Adam stands for generic man— the race-man. The race- man vainly imagined loss, lack, failure, sin, sickness and death. The awakened man knows only one power, God, and one condition, good. But now we will return to the beauty parlor. The following is an exact quotation and a good example of what one hears: A woman sat down near me and said in a loud voice, "This place is too warm! Turn something on or open something." The attendant said to her, "How are you feeling today, Mrs. S?" She replied with a heavy sigh, "Oh, I'm pretty well, but I have a hard time keeping well." To the manicurist she said, "Why don't you wear glasses?" The girl replied, "I don't need glasses, why should I wear them?" The woman replied, "Because everybody wears them. You'll find there is something wrong with your eyes if you have them examined." When she finally leaves they all feel limp and wonder if they are really well or only seem to be well. She leaves a trail of apprehension and gloom. This is a sample of what one hears from nearly every booth; the way most people talk. It is appalling when one knows the power of the word and what they are attracting, for they are nearly all describing illnesses or operations.

You combine with what you notice so do not describe anything destructive for you begin to combine with it. What is really yours? The blessings you bring to yourself, through your spoken or silent word; the things you see with your inner eye. Only your doubts, fears and resentments keep your good from you. If you hate or resent a situation, you have fastened it to you, for you attract what you fear or dislike. For example: someone has been unjust to you and you are filled with wrath and resentment. You cannot forgive that person. Time rolls on and another person does the same thing. It is because you have a picture of injustice engraved in your subconscious. History will repeat itself until you think you are cursed with misfortune and injustice. There is only one way to neutralize it. Be absolutely undisturbed by injustice and send good-will to all concerned. "My good-will is a strong tower round about me. I now transmute all enemies into friends, all inharmony into harmony, all injustice into justice." You will be amazed at the working of the law. One student brought harmony out of chaos in her business affairs by that statement.

Do not look back and hash over hard times, or you will be drawn back into these conditions. Give thanks for the dawn of a new day. You must be immune to all discouragement and adverse appearances.

All that you desire or require is already on your pathway, but you must be wide awake to your good to bring it into manifestation. After making statements of Truth you suddenly have a flash of realization. You suddenly feel yourself in a new environment. You feel old negative conditions falling away. I once said to a woman "The walls of lack and delay now crumble away, and you enter your promised land, under grace." She said she had a sudden flash of a wall crumbling away and that she stepped over it. Soon after that, the change came, and she really did enter her Promised Land of Plenty.

I knew a woman whose daughter's desire was a home and husband. In her early youth she had had a broken engagement. Whenever a possible marriage appeared on the horizon, she became frantic with fear and apprehension, picturing vividly another disappointment, and she had several. Her mother came to me to speak the word for her right marriage, Divinely designed, which could not be interfered with. During the interview the mother said continually: "Poor Nellie! Poor Nellie!" I said: "Do not call your daughter 'poor Nellie' again. You are helping her to be demagnetized. Call her 'Lucky Nellie,' `Fortunate Nellie, for you must have faith that God now gives to her the desires of her heart." The mother and daughter persisted in making their affirmations. She has now fulfilled her destiny for she is Mrs. Nellie, the demon of fear dissolved forever.

There are wonderful statements in the Bible referring to the breaking down of negative thought forms. "The power of the Spirit is mighty even unto the pulling down of strongholds." The human mind is helpless to cope with these negative thoughts. The victory is won by the God within, the superconscious mind.

"Brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and there be any praise, think on these things." Phil. 4 : 8.

If people obeyed this, general conversation would come to a standstill for a while, until people learned to talk about constructive things.

Lessons from the Miracle Doctors; Chapter 17 - It's All About Energy

Chapter 17



It's All About Energy

   All life is energy. Every nerve impulse in your body is an electric current. Our muscles are powered by chemical energy. Every cell in your body is a mini-battery pumping out 70-90 millivolts—when
healthy.

  The steak and potatoes that you eat for dinner are really just fuel for the fire. Eating is like throwing coal in a furnace. Digestion is nothing more than a slow form of burning that produces energy for your body to live on. In fact, death itself is defined as the absence of electrical activity in the brain. In the end, all life is energy.

 Optimize that Energy and You Optimize Your Health.

Energy is neither good nor bad; it just is. The same electricity that is used by a chiropractor or a physical therapist to stimulate your muscles and promote healing with a TENS machine is the same electricity that is used in prisons to execute people in electric chairs. So, is electricity good or bad? The answer is neither. It’s just a question of what frequency and amplitude you use and how you use it.

Charge Your Body with the Right Frequencies and You Prevent Disease.

The same laser light that is used to shoot down enemy missiles or as a death ray in a movie is also used by your eye-doctor to improve your vision via Lasik surgery or by your plastic surgeon
to remove facial hair and wrinkles. Again, the difference is merely one of frequency and amplitude.

  The proper use of energy in the healing arts has a long and significant history. From the TENS machines and laser surgery that we’ve already mentioned to the use of sound waves to break up
kidney stones, or X-rays and magnetic fields to see into the body and the use of light to clean the blood.

   Some forms of energy are more effective than others.

  As we will see, scalar energy is merely another application of healing energy. It is the application of science as nature intended.

     A New Paradigm

  We are about to talk about some things concerning health and nutrition that are probably brand new to you. This topic is not inherently difficult to understand, but since it represents a total
paradigm shift in how you will look at health and nutrition, we will have to proceed slowly.

 We’re going to learn how to actually embed healing energy in nutritional products.

  Also, in order to explain everything, we will have to touch on some very esoteric areas such as higher mathematics and subatomic particles. Don’t panic. It won’t be too involved, and after every
difficult section, I will summarize what you just read and tell you the key points you need to remember.

 We’re also going to learn how healing energy frequencies are transferred from the products you ingest into every single cell of your body—with profound implications for your overall health.

  With that said, let’s begin.

     The Nature of Energy

 All of the energy that we normally think of is characterized by both particle and wavelike properties.The waveform of all these energies can be graphed as a hertzian wave (either in the form of a sine wave or a step wave).



We’re talking about everything from electricity to magnetism, from light to sound. The only difference between all of these forms of energy is how fast the waves rise and fall (the frequency) and how intense those rises and falls are (their amplitude).

Scalar Energy

Several years ago, I discovered and developed the Barron Effect, which incorporates the principle of energy enhancement to modify the physical structure of herbs during the tincture manufacturing
process. The net result is herbal tinctures that are over 100% stronger than anything the world has previously seen. In a sense, the use of scalar energy to enhance the effectiveness of nutritional products is an extension of that effect—but at the same time is an entirely different animal. Understand, scalar energy has existed since the beginning of time; however, it’s only recently
that scientists have discovered and begun to make use of it.

  It was actually back in the mid 1800’s that the existence of scalar energy was first proposed in a series of 4 groundbreaking equations by the Scottish mathematician, James Clerk Maxwell.



  Don’t even think about trying to understand these equations.

>Just as a minor reference, H refers to the magnetic field. E refers to the energy field. Most of the other symbols are Greek letters such as epsilon and delta. The upside down triangle represents the Vector Differential.

  But forget all of that. The key to these equations—what makes them remarkable in history is the use of the symbol, which stands for Scalar Charge Density—thus representing the first time that the existence of scalar energy was theoretically proposed.

  It was almost a half century later before Nicola Tesla actually was able to demonstrate the existence of scalar energy. When Tesla died, he took the secret of scalar generation with him, and it took almost another full century before science was once again able to demonstrate, positively, the existence of scalar energy and begin an exploration of its potential.

  What Are Scalar Waves?

  The standard definition of scalar waves is that they are created by a pair of identical (or replicant) waves (usually called the wave and its antiwave) that are in phase spatially, but out of phase temporally. That is to say, the two waves are physically identical, but out of phase in terms of time. The net result is that scalar waves are a whole different animal from normal hertzian waves. They even look different—like an infinitely projected mobius pattern on axis.



Different How?

Scalar energy is different from standard hertzian electromagnetic fields in a number of important ways.

> First, it’s more field-like than wavelike. Instead of running along wires or shooting out in beams, it tends to “fill” its environment. This becomes very important in terms of developing the technology for embedding products with scalar energy.

>For many of the same reasons, it is capable of passing through solid objects with no loss of intensity. In fact, that is exactly what Tesla demonstrated over 100 years ago when he projected a scalar wave through the earth with no loss of field strength. Again, this is vital in the development of technology capable of embedding scalar energy in products.

>It implants its signature on solid objects. This is actually the heart of the issue. All electric fields can implant their signature on objects, but not to the degree that scalar energy can. This becomes extremely important when we actually talk about the mechanics of embedding the energy field in products, and then transferring that charge from the products into every cell of your body.

>Scalar energy can regenerate and repair itself indefinitely. This also has important implications for the body. In other words, once the charge is implanted, you can keep it there with the regular ingestion of charged products.

> In fact, the right scalar frequencies have a whole range of profound beneficial effects on the human body. (And we will detail each and every one very shortly.)

 > In the "New Age" community there has been much talk of the benefit of things like Tachyons, Radionics, and Pyramids, etc. Analysis shows that these are all, at heart, scalar generating devices—but cannot come close to the effectiveness of ingesting Scalar Enhanced™ products.

Generating Scalar Energy

Actually, scalar waves can be generated in many ways. For example, you can generate them Electronically, Magnetically, Physically, or Optically (by the movement of phased patterns on a
computer monitor). You can actually buy wristwatches that incorporate computer chips that generate protective scalar fields. The most interesting technology for generating scalar waves, however, has been developed by a group that includes several ex-NASA engineers.

 Through the use of proprietary computer programs, they are able to cause both the computer's CPU to oscillate at predetermined frequencies and emit scalar energy, while at the same time generating scalar charges off of the computer monitor by running very precise hieroglyphic patterns on the monitor. To create what they call a charging chamber. They aim four monitors (precisely
aligned with lasers) at an amplifying devise in the center of the room. The entire room then becomes a scalar charging chamber. This produces an intensity of charge and an ability to regulate
frequency beyond any other comparable technology in use today. Any individual standing in the room is charged, and, as it turns out, so is any product or object—up to its ability to hold the charge. The higher the quality of the product (whole foods Vs isolates, organic Vs inorganic, etc.) the better that product is able to hold the charge.

   Embedding Scalar Energy in Products

  As I mentioned earlier, all life is fundamentally energy based, and therefore, all life has numbers of structures capable of holding a scalar charge. In point of fact, the very same structures that
allow the scalar charge to be embedded in products also allow that charge to be transferred to the human body from those same products. For example:

>There are many crystalline structures in every cell wall—all capable of holding a charge

>There are many liquid crystal structures in the collagen network comprising all of the space between cells—also capable of holding a charge

    And in Your Very DNA

  We are going to get very abstract, for one final moment, before we begin to simplify everything and bring it all together. So just hang in there for a little longer.

  There are Quantum Mechanical models that describe subatomic particles such as Excitons, Plasmons, and Solitons that can store and carry biological information along macromolecules in
response to low-level scalar energy.

In other words, scalar energy is capable of imprinting itself on your very DNA.

Before we move on to the benefits of scalar energy for your health, it would be worth dwelling for a moment on what proof exists that everything I’m talking about is real.

     There Is Proof

  It is possible to measure scalar fields, but most people don’t have the required equipment. Therefore, let’s turn to a form of proof that we can see right now—Kirlian photography. A Kirlian photograph is merely a specialized kind of photography that images the bioelectric field that surrounds all objects—particularly living objects.

 U.S. News and World Report ran an article some time ago calling Kirlian photography a hoax. To quote from the article:

“Controlled experiments have shown that the Kirlian photos (captured by passing an electric current through the subject, whose "energies" are then recorded on special photographic plates) are the result of moisture and pressure, not spiritual vitality.”

 And that’s absolutely true, as far as it goes. The simple fact is, though, that it’s possible to set up a hermetically sealed environment where moisture and pressure are constant, and therefore not influencing the outcome of the pictures. And yet, even in those controlled environments, it’s possible to produce startling and revealing photos. For example:

  Here are two pictures of lentil sprouts, identical, except for the fact that the lentil on the left has been soaked in very hot water for a minute or so. According to the U.S. News and World Report
article, since it has more moisture in it, it should conduct more electricity than the unblanched lentil on the right and produce a brighter field. 



  As you can see, the exact opposite is true. (If you’re looking at a black and white printout, the greatly expanded red area appears dark gray.) And that’s why the National Institute of Health and
Cambridge University, among other major institutes, are studying Kirlian photography.

  So what can we learn about Scalar Enhanced™ products through Kirlian photos? Well, the absolute most important thing we can learn is that the scalar charge is, unquestionably, embedding
itself in the products. What follows are just a couple of examples of products before and after embedding.





The two sets of photographs above, by themselves, are revolutionary in their implications. (Incidentally, these images were produced using a brand new process—side-by-side direct digital
imaging, which even further diminishes the effect of outside factors such as moisture, temperature, and pressure.)

The bottom line is that experience tells us that the more alive something is (the more organic it is) the bigger its energy field will be. And Scalar Enhanced™ products always demonstrate a bigger field.

      Benefits

This is the big question, isn’t it? What health benefits are there to consuming Scalar Enhanced™ products? As it turns out, they are many.

  First of all, enhanced products are more assimilable by the body. They are absorbed better and faster. We actually can prove that enhanced products can be assimilated by your body and totally
transform your bioelectric field in as little as 10 seconds. There are no other products in the world that can do that. Here is a set of pictures that image the body’s bioelelectric field as registered
through biofeedback devices that measure galvanic skin response and body temperature. What you are seeing is the field before taking any Scalar Enhanced™ product, and then the change in the field literally just 10 seconds after putting the enhanced product in your mouth. 









The Brennan Model of the first 7 levels of the Human Energy Field:-

1. Etheric Body
2. Emotional Body
3. Mental Body
4. Astral Body
5. Etheric Template
6. Celestial Body
7. Ketheric Template

Results this profound and this quickly realized have never before been seen—ever—by any nutritional products of any kind in the entire history of nutritional supplements. These pictures literally
represent an entirely new standard in health and nutrition—a standard that every company will one day have to match.

But above and beyond that, the scalar charges that we embed in our products carry a whole range of benefits inherent in the charge itself—independent of the product. In that sense, the product functions as a carrier of the healing charge. There are at least a dozen major health benefits that come from this charge—and they are profound. Regular intake of Scalar Enhanced™ products can:

>Eliminate and nullify the effects of man made frequencies (60 cps) in the human body.

>Increase the energy level of every single cell in the body to the ideal 70-90 millivolt range.

>Increase the energy covalent level of every single hydrogen atom in the body as verified by spectrographs. This is significant because covalent hydrogen bonds are what hold your DNA together. In other words, consuming Scalar Enhanced™ products can protect your DNA from damage.

>Improve cell wall permeability thus facilitating the intake of nutrients into each and every cell and the elimination of waste from each and every cell. (As a result of the high transmembrane potential mentioned above, Scalar Enhanced™ products effectively cause every single cell in your body to detox).

>Decrease the surface tension of the embedded products, thereby significantly reducing the time required for your body to assimilate those same products.

>Increase overall body energy levels as a result of increasing cellular energy for trillions of cells.

>Cleanse the blood improving chylomicron levels (protein/fat particles floating in the blood) and triglyceride profiles and fibrin patterns.


>Improve immune function by as much as 149% as proven in laboratory studies.

>Improve mental focus as demonstrated by increased amplitude of EEG frequencies.

>Balance out the two hemispheres of the brain, again as measured by EEG tests.

>Work as an antidepressant since it inhibits the uptake of noradrenaline by PC12 nerve cells.

>And finally, there’s cancer.

Cancer

  That’s right—as if all of the benefits we’ve listed so far were not enough. The regular intake of Scalar Enhanced™ products may very well play a significant role in preventing and/or reversing cancer.

Cancer cells are, almost without exception, low-voltage cells. As I mentioned earlier, the optimum cell voltage for most cells in the body is in the 70-90 millivolt range. Cancer cells are almost
exclusively in the 15-20 millivolt range. 

  There have been many theories proposed as to why this is true. The most likely one is that as cell voltage starts to drop into the range where the very survival of the cell may be called into question, the cell begins to proliferate uncontrollably in an attempt to guarantee its “survival.”

  If you raise cell voltage (which is exactly what can happen when you consume Scalar Enhanced™ products), the cell no longer needs to proliferate wildly. In effect, it can become “normal”
again. The implications for this in treating cancer could be profound.

      Conclusion

   How long will products hold their charge?

 >The higher the quality of the product to start with, the longer it will hold a charge.
High-quality “alive” organic type products actually will often display a stronger charge after 6 months then when first charged.

Are charged products safe?

>Absolutely. Again, there is nothing unnatural about scalar energy. It has been around since the creation of the universe. It’s all a question of embedding healing/energizing frequencies as opposed to harmful frequencies.

Which frequencies do we embed?

>Without giving away proprietary information, there are two key frequencies focused on. First, is the Schuman Resonance. This is in the 7.8 - 8.0 HZ range. It is the frequency the earth emits when there is nothing around—nothing man-made and no plant or animal life around. It is the innate frequency of the earth. The other frequency is closer to 12 HZ. This is the frequency that you will record in a rain-forest—again with nothing man-made around. These are the core scalar frequencies that accomplish everything
we’ve talked about in this chapter.

What will I notice by using Scalar Enhanced™ products?

>In addition to every other benefit that I’ve outlined so far, you will find that scalar enhanced
products will be absorbed faster, work faster, and produce stronger results.

What does this all mean?

>Scalar Enhanced™ products enter your body fast and work better than comparable non-enhanced products.

>Scalar Enhanced™ products charge every single cell of your body with health-promoting scalar waves.

>The more Scalar Enhanced™ products you use and the more often you use them, the more profound the effect. The effect is cumulative.

>Someday, every nutritional company will scalar-enhance their products or they will not be able to stay in business. Scalar Enhanced™ products are simply that superior.

Water : Nature's Antidepressant Medication

STUPENDOUS RESULTS
Having learned about the missing role of water in depression, let us now see some results, stupendous results. 

I read your interview with Dr. Batmanghelidj a couple of weeks ago and it made a profound impression on me.  I gave up beverages containing caffeine. Although I have only been on this program for a couple of weeks, I feel like a new person! 

I wanted to tell you about some results that I got, because the ones that impressed me the most and for which I am most thankful, are not physical results, per se; they are emotionally/psychological & mental.

I did get some very good physical results, I lost weight, my allergy symptoms disappeared, and I enjoyed a tremendous upsurge in energy -- but I was more grateful for (and amazed by)  a release from a lifelong battle with depression, and other emotional and psychological problems. I had gotten to the point where my nerves were just shot.  I was sensitive and overreacted to everything. the slightest setback became a major setback.  I couldn't cope with the pressures of even ordinary everyday living, much less more stressful situations. I developed a very short fuse, I would get irritated and angry at the slightest provocation, and then I would get depressed and hated myself, and really just wanted to die. I was ruining my closest relationships, and I contemplated suicide many times. I began to believe that I might have a mental illness. I saw many different psychiatrists and social workers, but my experiences never really changed. I was progressively more volatile with drastic mood swings , and I lived under a big dark cloud.  But then , when I began to follow Dr. Batmanghelidj's  guidelines, i felt the big dark cloud lift.  It was as if the sun finally came out. I felt calmer and more peaceful , more  centered and grounded, and just plain happier.

My nerves no longer jumped out of control at every little thing and I began to feel a profound sense of joy and relief.  I no longer felt so much like something was drastically wrong with me.  I began to be able to hold my head up and face the world, instead of tending toward a  sort of paranoid agoraphobia.

I don't know whether other people with similar problems might get the same relief, but as you say, when you've tried everything else and it's failed, it can't hurt to try something like this.  I know many people who don't even drink one glass of water in a day. I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't benefit from increasing his or her intake of water.

Thank you so much for publishing tht fascinating interview. It make more sense than anything else i have ever read on health ( and I've read a lot) , and it has helped me more than anything else I have ever tried (and I've tried a lot!). Also, a glass of water is free -- my last psychiatrist was US$65.00 for 45 minutes! !

Thank you again,
Sincerely your, K.M., Syracuse, New York

NOTE: As you can see, K.M. exhibited all the perceptive manifestations of dehydration that I identified in Figure 5-1 at the beginning of this chapter 5. Once she corrected her daily intake of water to avoid dehydration, all those symptoms disappeared too.

CHAPTER 5 : THE CHEMISTRY OF DEPRESSION

PERCEPTIVE MARKERS OF DEHYDRATION

When the human body becomes dehydrated, the brain can still get water delivered by "raindrops" through the filter system in its cell membranes, but this is not enough to energize it as fully as when the human body is well hydrated. This discrepancy in the rate of water supply to the brain produces a certain number of sensory outcomes that I consider to be thirst perception. They are as follow : 

THIRST PERCEPTIONS

1. Feeling Tired.

2. Feeling Flushed.

3. Feeling Irritable.

4. Feeling Anxious.

5. Feeling Dejected.

6. Feeling Depressed.

7. Feeling Inadequate.

8. Feeling a "Heavy Head".

9. Cravings.

10. Agoraphobia. 

Figure 5-1. This illustration above should help you recognize the earlier stages of depression before it becomes deeply established. Bear in mind that untimely tiredness could be an early marker of depression. When you are too tired to get out of bed first thing in the morning, you are in fact so dehydrated that your brain is refusing to get engaged in your daily routine. Drink up your water on time and do NOT let the problem turn into full-blown depression. 

WHAT IS DEPRESSION ?

 If it is the hot season and you are too preoccupied to water your grass, it will die of "brown grass disease." First the grass wilts ; then patches of it begin to go yellow, and then brown. If these symptoms of dehydrated grass do NOT register in your mind the need to get out the water hose and thoroughly soak the yard, all the grass in your charge will die, prematurely. And if, God forbid, the importance of water as a medication against the browning of grass and foliage is not held in the safekeeping of your brain , you might wonder what specialist could come and save you from having to re-grass your lawn. And, since specialists are by nature hard to come by and expensive, you would have no choice but to listen to their pearls of wisdom, particularly if the occurrence of brown grass disease is thought to be a genetic problem of the grass in your garden. 

You would have no choice but to have the whole area of brown grass dug up and replanted with a different strain of grass.  Since your new grass has to be watered to grow, you come away with the idea that your specialist knows what he's talking about, and totally in the dark that even your old grass needed to be watered regularly to stay green and healthy. 

In its early stages, depression is like the brown grass disease of the brain cells.  It is a direct outcome of NOT DRINKING WATER on a REGULAR BASIS and, worse, of drinking caffeinated beverages in place of water. Caffeine is a  dying agent and dehydrates the human body. Nine trillion brain cells need water all the time. The human brain is 85 percent water and needs every drop of water to perform its most complicated functions.  Depression is much like the wilting stage of brown grass, but sadly, you cannot dig up the brain cells and plant new gene-improved models in their place, at least not yet. You will have to make do with what you have --water it. Drink your water regularly. 

Depression is only a label given to the physiological state of a dehydrated brain that is not able to perform all its sophisticated functions.  Depending on what area of the brain is more affected by dehydration, different subsets of labels have generated for the same basic problem. And because jargon-peddling is the way of "knowledgeable professionals," the simple shortage of water, water deficits, and the material resources it would bring with it to the needs of the brain, has been responsible for the creation of psychiatry as a field among the medical disciplines.  The difference between psychology and psychiatry is in the way the patient is treated. In the one discipline they talk to you out of your concerns, and in the other they medicate you into conformity.

Since you have been initiated into the field of psychiatry by the advertising programs of the drug industry, you likely want to know all about the relationship of water to serotonin and its reuptake inhibitors, and so on, before you can begin to value water as an effective natural medication against depression.

There are 20 amino acids. From these, the human body manufactures different proteins for construction of both body tissues and the active messenger agents that regulate the human body's functions.  The body has the ability to manufacture 10 of these amino acids, but the other 10 cannot be manufactured and must be imported. The 10 amino acids the human body can make are alanine, glycine, proline, serine, cysteine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, asparagines, glutamine, and tyrosine.  However, at least two of these amino acids -- cysteine and tyrosine -- are derivatives of other essential amino acids that the human body cannot manufacture but must consume. Cysteine is manufactured from methionine, and tyrosine is manufactured from phenylalanine. 

The body can manufactured some histidine , but not enough of it during childhood and old age.  For this reason, histidine should also be considered an essential amino acid. 

The essential amino acids -- listed in the order of their importance for brain function -- are histidine , tryptophan , phenylalanine, methionine , lysine, threonine , valine, arginine, leucine, and isoleucine. 

Histidine gets converted to the neurotransmitter histamine and is responsible for the water regulation and resource management of the human body.  It operates your thirst sensations and regulates the water-rationing programs of the human body.  It is with us from minute one of life when the ovum is fertilized by the sperm, but has not yet divided into two cells. Histamine has to "wet-nurse" the ovum for it to be able to expand in volume and then divine, and divide, until the baby is born -- histamine is there all the time.  In childhood, when the human body is growing, histamine acts as a strong growth factor, much like growth hormone.  The difference is that histamine becomes more and more active as we grow older, while growth hormone activity diminishes very rapidly from the third decade of life. From your 30th birthday onward. 

The tremendous need for the actions of histamine in childhood and old age makes its precursor amino acids, histidine, essential. Many neurological disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, seem to be produced because of histidine metabolism imbalance. Many emotional problems are associated with excess activity of histamine during its water-regulation. 

The more the human body becomes dehydrated, the more histamine activity takes over the physiological functions that were the responsibility of water. If there is not enough water to energize the mineral pumps, or cation pumps, and regulate the balance between sodium (which has to stay outside the cells) and potassium ( which must be forced back in), histamine stimulates the release of energy to jump-start  the protein pumps and bring about osmotic balance in the environment of the cells -- most vitally in the brain. 

Histamine acts as a natural energy manager in the absence of water and shortage of hydroelectric energy. Brain function is not efficient without histamine when the body is short of water.  Nor is it efficient for long if it has to rely only on histamine as a substitute for the functions of water. In essence, this state of inefficient brain physiology, caused by the missing action of water, is what we call depression. 

Histamine is in charge of the ionic balance inside the cells. It forces potassium ions that leak out of the cell wall back into the cell. It releases energy energy for the pumps that handles the process. The trigger mechanism that gets histamine going is a rise in the level of potassium in the environment around the cells. The action of histamine in the body is what preserves life until water becomes available and can perform its natural functions : The use of antihistamine medications, when water itself is a better natural antihistamine, is tantamount to a criminal act. The tricyclic antidepressants, medications, and in fact even the more modern antidepressants , function as very strong antihistamines. 

The essential amino acid tryptophan gets converted into at least four neurotransmitters and hormones : serotonin, tryptamine, indolamine, and melatonin. 
Two enzymes, one unique to serotonin-producing cells and the other distributed more generally in the brain, act on tryptophan in this conversion process.  Nature has selected tryptophan as the most important amino acid for the brain's control of all the sensations and functions of the human body.

Serotonin is the kingpin chemical, needed for many events that silently regulate the human body physiology.  This is why a shortage of the serotonin that should normally be available is one of the hallmarks of depression. It's also why the pharmaceutical industry has produced a number of chemicals that slow down the rate of serotonin's  destruction in the nerve terminals after it is secreted to perform one of the many functions:
1. Serotonin alters the threshold of pain sensation and produces analgesia.
2. Serotonin control production and release of the growth hormone.
3. Serotonin controls the level of blood sugar.
4. Serotonin controls the blood pressure levels of the body -- it has a tendency to lower blood pressure.
5. Serotonin and tryptophan control appetite. You remember I talked about motilin , which is considered a kind of gut serotonin.  It is the hormone that causes the santiety sensation.
6. Serotonin and tryptophan regulate the human body's salt intake, whereas histamine controls the intake of potassium and its insertion into the cells. 
7.Serotonin has a direct effect on calcium movement into the cells and its involvement in neurotransmission.
8. Serotonin release inhibits histamine's release and its action. 
9. Serotonin production by the brain is reduced when the blood levels of three amino acids -- valine, leucine,  and isoleucine -- rise above normal, such as in starvation, dehydration, lack of exercise, and other conditions that affect protein metabolism of the body.
10. Serotonin strengthens the contractile properties of certain muscles. 
11. The serotonin-stimulated nerve system (serotonergic system) is the medium through which analgesics such as morphine and hallucinogenic drugs like LSD register their effects. It is this kind of stimulation of the serotonergic system that becomes addictive when people get hooked on a drug, be it caffeine or cocaine. 

The brain cells that convert tryptophan to serotonin have the ability to make this conversion at the same rate as it arrives.  These cells do not store tryptophan itself, but store serotonin in vesciles and even pass these vesicles on the nerves' transport system down the track to the nerve endings, to be used when the nerve is stimulated. Thus, low serotonin levels in the nerve system -- seem in depression -- are only caused if tryptophan cannot be delivered to the nerve cells. 

You now understand the physiological upheaval that occurs as a result of tryptophan shortage in the brain tissue. After 20-plus years of research into the relationship of water to pain regulation of the body, I have reached a broad understanding of how to avoid  serotonin depletion in the brain and prevent depression.

WATER : NATURE'S ANTI-DEPRESSANT MEDICATION

Directly or indirectly, water maintains an efficient and effective rate of tryptophan flow into the brain tissue for its immediate conversion into serotonin. Here is how :
1. Normally , when the human body gets dehydrated and cannot produce adequate urine to get rid of its toxic waste and the acid buildup in its cells, certain amino acids are sacrificed to neutralize this acid and make the human body more alkaline. The term usually used is antioxidant. Tryptophan, tyrosine, cysteine, methionine, and more are all sacrificed in an attempt to keep the acid-alkali balance of the human body chemistry within the normal range. 
( NOTE: But by making a few simple changes to your diet and lifestyle, you'll not only balance your body's pH, but experience incredible healing results like increased energy, improved immunity, the reduction or elimination of pain, and a powerful return of your body's ability to heal itself. Many who return balance to their body chemistry help avoid heart disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, diabetes, kidney disease, and cancer. 
Imagine that acid and alkaline are two teams in a tug-of-war contest, each one holding the end of a long rope and trying to shift the balance to its side, and you'll get a good sense of what happens every single second in your body. The pH spectrum ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral, 0 to 6.9 being acidic, and 7.1 to 14 being alkaline. Normal water pH is 7 . Average human blood pH is roughly 7.365. When your pH balance tips toward either the acidic or the alkaline side of the spectrum, you are vulnerable to a variety of health problems. Because of the current eating habits of most people, it is rare for anyone to become excessively alkaline for an ongoing basis. Excessive acidity is much more common, even among health-conscious eaters. Your blood must stay at pH 7.365. If your diet and lifestyle choices consistently acidify the blood, they will deplete alkaline minerals from your bones and muscles, as well as tax the detoxification organs just to maintain the balance, which can result in many harmful health effects. The bulk of your diet should be made up with alkalizing foods, such as leafy greens (dandelion, kale), round vegetables (onions, cabbage), and legumes (edamame, lentils). Remember: it doesn't matter whether a food itself is acidic or alkaline; it is more important how it affects your body. Strive for a diet consisting of at least 70% alkaline-forming foods.)

2. Regularly drinking enough water to create colorless urine -- resulting in the washing of excess acid out of the body -- would automatically conserve these essential amino acids, enabling them to perform their normal roles in the body. Thus adequate urine production, which should occur with water intake -- not through the use of diuretics, caffeinated beverages, or alcoholic drinks -- is a major safeguard against depression. 

3. All elements that need to get into the brain and reach its cells have to be carried on special transporter systems.  These transporter systems are specific to various  elements. Trytophan shares its transporter system with five other amino acids : valine , leucine , isoleucine, phenylalanin, and tyrosine.  The rate at which tryptophan can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) depends on the level of those other amino acids that are in circulation.

4. In starvation, dehydration, and lack of exercise, blood vessels of valine,  leucine, and isoleucine increase. This reduces the available transport system for the passage of trytophan across the BBB, thus causing a gradual depletion of the available tryptophan in the brain.  If dehydration and lack of exercise become established trends in the lifestyle of any individual, the serotonin levels in the brain of that person will decrease.

5. Valine, leucine , and isoleucine are energy-laden amino acids that can be used by the brain or the muscle tissues in the human body for their energy needs -- not to manufacture a product, but rather to perform a function.  Exercise enables muscle tissue to mop up these amino acids from the circulation and make an intermediate product that the liver will then complete the process and make sugar for the brain to use. As a result of the muscles' collection of these amino acids from the circulating blood, increased space on transporter system (which exists only in the capillaries that feed the brain ) is made available for the amino acid tryptophan to catch a ride and reach the brain side of the circulation. 

6. In the same way, the rate of tyrosine transfer to the brain side of circulation will increase and cause a buildup of the dopamine levels that complement serotonin activity in the brain for increasing motivation and purpose.  Thus , adequate exercise is an effective way to replenish brain serotonin levels and ward of depression. Yours truly love to walk in the the forest and parks. Keep walking for at least 2 hours everyday, that way, your body’s natural fat burner will work well for the next 24 hours, even during your sleep. 

7. Another role of adequate hydration in boosting the serotonin levels of the brain is too complex to explain here in this blog. Briefly, tryptophan is extremely heat excitable. Water serves the purpose by producing high heat of activation at the cell membranes.  This is most effectively done at the blood-brain barrier (BBB).

The local heat excites tryptophan. It dislodges itself from the transporter protein in the blood, and attaches itself to another transporter system in the wall of the better-hydrated brain capillaries.  The new transporter system in the capillary wall will more efficiently and effectively deliver it to the brain. In the brain, it gets converted to serotonin, melatonin, tryptamine, and indolamine -- the chemicals that regulate entire human body physiology, including your mood and outlook on life. 

With its simple local heat generation, water causes a speedier shift of tryptophan into the brain.  Water also has many other indirect effects that help tryptophan reach into the brain cells. Thus, water is a natural medication against depression. 

To prevent disease, you must prevent dehydration from getting established in the interior of your body's cells. To reverse a disease process, you need additional insight into the metabolic complication associated with prolonged water shortage in the human body. Naturally, there are other treatment pointers that need to be followed. These are fully explained in the last three chapters . 

Having learned about the missing role of water in depression, let us now see some stupendous results.
