TODAY'S EXERCISE AND FITNESS BONANZAby Myrl M. Cole

While taking my Touch For Health InstructorWorkshop, July 1975 with 20 others, Dr. JohnF.Thie, D.C. introduced his basic co-ordinated setof 6 exercises he had used to reduce 30 pounds in30 days! They all were closely patterned aftercross-crawl techniques and later illustrated in theTouch For Health Workbook by Mary Marks,D.C. See the included photocopy of exercises forbilateral oriented persons.I immediately added these exercises to my dailyprogram and 3-fold deep breathing while layingwith my back on the floor, sitting on a straightback chair and reaching down to hold the chair'sfront legs, then sitting on the straight back chairwith my legs out level on a suitable hassock.I learned very early as a spastic child and havinghad double pneumonia when only 6 weeks oldthat some exercises and deep breathing weregood for me while some popular ones were notgood for anyone. Then I learned later that exer-cises had to be different and sometimes entirelyopposite for bilateral and homolateral orientedpersons. Gym instructors or exercise teacherswho don't understand this often increase learningproblems seriously. This definite differencestaned from the time of conception. In fact,exercise was in full progress at the time of con-ception as both male and female cells fought theirbattle for the survival of the fittest. After thisinitial conception is completed, one's innate in-telligence takes over and cell growth, duplicationand movement becomes the established exerciseprogram. All movement is coordinated by thepreprogrammed right and left brain spheres andoperated by multiple motorism switches. I wastold by a reliable source that there are too manyto believe individual connections from each sideof the brain that control in detail every single

muscle segment both in the brain and in the entirebody. Three fourths of them are actually used forone's fabulous, intricate computer brain tooperate at incredible speed. Most of the basicpreprogramming and actual functions are me-ticulously set up and quietly rehearsed millionsof times while one is anxiously waiting to be-come separated from the 9 months preparation infetus!As aTouch For Health Instructor I soon found outthat muscle testing and making corrections had tobe different for bilateral and for homolateraloriented persons. I voiced this problem andconcern at our First Annual Meeting in 1976,mentioning that the only reference to bilateraland homolateral is in the extreme back of theTouch For Health Manual under the heading ofCross-Crawling. To only use Cross-Crawling tofind out one's correct brain orienting is accuratebut too complicated to use on everyone all thetime. I desired to know immediately when firsttesting each person without such commotion. SoI discovered about a dozen easier ways to in-stantly find out if each person is bilateral orhomolateral. Perhaps the easiest and fastest wayI use is to muscle test either arm using one's sameside hand, test his left arm with your left hand orhis right arm with your right hand. Barring severeproblems, either arm will usually test strong.Now use your opposite hand for a second test. Itshould still test strong if he is bilateral oriented,but really weak if he is homolateral.To better understand, the right side of everyone'sbody is positive or Chinese Yang, and the left sideof everyone's body is always negative or Yin. Ifone is bilateral, the opposite brain controls theother side of one's body, or one's left brain ispositive and controls the positive right side of

Myrl M. ColeTouch For Health July, 1987

one's body as well as instigates the positivemovement of all brain and body muscles, whilethe right brain controls one's negative left sideand all trailing, reactive or balancing muscles.Since bilateral has these cross-over connections- one usually needs to only strengthen one'sweak side, and total balance of both sides isaccomplished.The homolateral's right brain is positive andcontrols the positive right side and also instigatesall brain and body muscles. Since there are nocross connections between right and left brainspheres, each side of one's body usually needs tobe tested and corrected separately. Homolateralsmay experience difficulty in identifying andassociating more than one sense connected to thesame item. One example is that of odors andtaste, since one side of the brain registers thesense of tastes and the other side that of smell.There are others which definitely include that ofexercises, all of the right side moves in the samedirection at the same time as the right leg movesforward the same time the right ann swingsforward, then the left side takes its tum. Bilater-als normally about face clockwise and homo-laterals counterclockwise!Since the majority of individuals are bilateral, isthere a special reason why some are homolateral?I've traveled much of the U.S. attending HealthConventions and conducting Touch For HealthWorkshops and I found the largest numbers ofhomolateral individuals among the Amish! Asan example, Nov. 1978, we held workshops inReading, Pa. The opening night there were 40persons with almost exactly half of them beingAmish and 16 of the Amish were homolaterals.My wife Dolores and another experienced TFHperson were having difficulty testing this groupuntil I took over and rapidly tested everyone fororientation, then I took the 16 homolaterals formy workshop and they took the bilaterals for theirworkshop.Reports confirm that there are larger numbers ofhomolaterals near Sacramento, California thatare most likely to be the descendants of the early

gold rush settlers. I haven't worked with Indiansin their tribes or on their reservations since I'vebeen involved with Touch for Health, but I'malmost very sure that one will find many homo-laterals there since I've found a few away fromtheir tribes who were homolaterals. It all pointsto a single common denominator that homolater-als are more likely to happen when marriages orpregnancies result from close family ties and forlong periods of time. One cannot change frombeing homolateral as some are claiming. He maychange his harmful exercise pattern to a betterhomolateral one!It has been 25 years since President John F.Kennedy made the suggestion and provided theyouthful fitness model of health. About 20% or40 million individuals have joined the fitnessbandwagon with the single goal of personalhealth. Many of these are sincerely pursuing theimprovement of their bodies with almost reli-gious intensity. Another 40% or 80 millionpersons are seriously considering their need forbetter health and are sporadically exercising.Swimming, bicycling and jogging still lead thepack, while weight lifting, aerobics, rowing,treadmills, fitness spas, gyms, yoga, etc. to infin-ity get their share! !! Certainly, sporadic exercis-ing isn't the answer! Both the U.S. and nearly allforeign concerns are trying their best to help andare flooding the market with every possible typeof exercise equipment and gadgets! Is therereally a best or even a better way to go? We areso spoiled with instant and push button ways togo. At the zenith of fitness, Jim Fixx, the authorof the best seller, "The Complete Book of Run-ning" (Random House), ironically died of a heartattack while he was jogging!

Then there is the muscle building program for theactual Mr. Universe or for an ego attempt to be alesser facsimile by men, women, boys and girls isstill the "in thing." Their method of muscledevelopment uses the ancient Greek program ofstraining muscles beyond their ability or over-exercising them to partially destroy them, thengiving them 48 or more hours to recuperate,

doing this again and again attempting to buildbigger and, hopefully, stronger muscles. Unlessthis is constantly continued, this ego trip quicklygoes as flat as a blown tire! In fact, one may dosit-ups, push-ups or any other type of gymnasticexercise and he will have to constantly increasethe amount of repetitions in order to get theproper benefit for his efforts. One may start with5 reps and a year from now, he will have to bedoing 105 reps. This gets to be too much effortand takes too much time, and sooner or later, hegives up the whole idea and gets his blown flattire!!

However, to just give up or to do nothing is by farthe worst of all. This is the sad plight of another40% or 80 million or our population who aretotally sedentary. A hundred years back, at least98% of all work was manual labor, fifty years agoit was 50%, but today it is less than 2%. The lawof cause and effect still stands. What you don'tuse, you lose! Longevity was increasing, but forthose who don't exercise, it is very rapidly de-creasing dangerously! Today, it's watch T.V.,forget living and die young!

As a skinny, sickly child, trying to grow up, I hadto exercise in order to exist. I ran a lot, often toget away from the bigger bullies! I also loved toplay soccer, but I really had a problem with whatI thought was weak ankles, which was gettingworse with constant severe sprains! It wasn'tuntil I was in my twenties before I learned theactual cause. An Army Officer who worked withinductees, noticed how I walked over my shoes.I wore a size 8EE shoe. He explained that I hada too high longitudinal arch for such a short wideshoe. It was pressing heavily on the top side ofmy arch and I was mentally trying to avoid all thisdiscomfort by supination of my ankles or tippingthem out sideways. He suggested a longer shoe,a 9 1/2 D to provide the higher arch. He also gaveme the following exercises to strengthen theankle muscles on both sides:

Before putting on the shoes, stand with toespointed out like Charlie Chaplin, rise up on toesas one imagines his head through the ceiling to

keep his balance. Do this 8 to 10 times or 10seconds exactly. Next with pigeon toes like apenguin, rise up as high as possible as before.Last, with a normal standing position, rise upagain as high and as many times as can be donein 10 seconds. Do this daily as needed.

Besides playing soccer, I always went outfor track with 75 and 100 yard dashes andhurdles. I remember how we were warnednot to drink any water before races, and thesame before hiking with the Scouts. It wassupposed to give us weak knees! Yearslater, we learned that this was wrong infor-mation as follows:

Climbing Mt. Everest proved this. The Swisstried numerous times but failed to reach thesummit, although once they were 800 feet from it.The German attempts also failed. Dr. John Huntof the British New Zealand team found all formerclimbers consumed less than 2 glasses of waterper day. He equipped his team with fuel to meltthe ice and snow. Sir Edmund Hillary andTenzing Norgay drank in excess of 12 glasseseach day including lemonade, and were first toreach the top!

Runners and athletes now drink water if desiredduring performances after much research. Dr.Pitts of Harvard University experimented withathletes on a tread mill at 3 1/2 miles per hour.With no water their blood temperatures raised102 degrees in 3 1/2 hours causing completeexhaustion in 6 hours. when 1/3 more water wasconsumed than their tastes regulated all contin-ued over 7 hours with temperatures under 101degrees with absolutely no exhaustion!

Because of almost universal water pollution,one's sense of taste usually keeps one fromconsuming needed amounts of water so thatnearly everyone is very dehydrated. To suddenlystop one's dehydrated condition with properamounts of pollution free distilled water canproduce some very dramatic results in superenergy and greatly improved better health. Avery exciting demonstration of this nature hap-pened during my Instructor Training Workshop.

I believe that it was Peter Andree who wasworking on a weak Psoas muscle, but wasn'thaving too much success. then he suddenlyreminded us that our Manual stated that the needfor larger quantities of water on a regular basiscannot be emphasized enough. He got a largeglass of bottled distilled water for the person todrink and like magic his Psoas muscle instantlybecame super strong - really.

I've seen a number of athletes who have greatlyimproved their performance noticeably whenthey added pollution free distilled water. Someof the wrestlers and runners have even becomeState Champions. A number of Little LeagueTeams who were at the bottom of the list forwinnings, have given up the use of Gatorade andtheir Special Energy Bars and are drinking largeamounts of distilled water and a half orangebefore games and at half time. They are nearly allwinning and some have become Champions!Attempting to instruct Dr. Thie's Cross-CrawlExercises, I ran into real difficulty with somestudents who just couldn't seem to get co-ordi-nated or stay co-ordinated once they started. Arather famous D.O. Dr. in Florida didn't believethat Dr. Thie could have used these simple exer-cises to take off a pound a day for 30 days. He hadtried numerous other types of reducing methodswithout reasonable success. He gave us plenty ofother sincere static about our program of instruc-tion. To my utter surprise, the next Saturday inChattanooga. Tennessee, he and his wife arrivedfirst by taxi from the airport. As we all introducedourselves, he told how he had sincerely doubtedour program in florida and especially that theseeasy exercises would work for anyone. He let usknow that they had worked perfectly exactly apound daily - 5 days!! So I invited him to showus how to do these exercises. He couldn't dothem anyway at all so we could understand howto do them! How he ever took off a pound a daywith that kind of exercises is still one of the greatmysteries of this wonderful program. I feltdeeply embarrassed for him as I took over toshow them!! However, these exercises are ex-

tremely important for everyone to master and touse regularly or at least periodically to maintainproper brain body co-ordination of the controlsystem of motorisms and muscles.Because of their great importance, I spent consid-erable time trying to get easier methods of doingand instructing them and especially to help thosewho were having so much difficulty - I now usethe following:1. Mark time by touching the opposite knee on

the side with the opposite hand. Do this for 30seconds.

2. Raise each knee as extremely high as possibleas the opposite arm is also raised as high aspossible.

3. Wrap each raised knee around the oppositethigh while the other ann is wrapped aroundthe opposite waist.

4. Balance on one foot as the opposite is raised orstretched upward to that side as opposite armis raised.

5. Bend each knee as the same side arm isstretched backward while the other leg isstretched backward and that side arm isstretched forward.

The above bilateral exercises should each betimed 10 seconds accurately for each side. Dothem the first thing in the morning and if more isneeded, they may be done twice than or again

before retiring at night.

To have properly co-ordinated exercises forhomolaterals, one should forget the word oppo-site with the above bilateral exercises. Mark timeby touching each raised knee on the side with thesame side hand. Do mark time for 30 seconds.Move the same side arm and leg in the samedirection for forward. backward, sideways or uphigh for 10seconds for each movement of the restof the exercises.Whenever one doesn't have the time to do all ofthese exercises although itwill certainly pay withsuper benefits if one makes time to do them, he

Myrl M. ColeTouch For Health July, 1987

should at least do the 30 second mark time! Hemay also do the 30 second mark time wheneverone is tense or needs a break, it will instantlyrejuvenate one with a lOx energy boost for an allnew fresh start in keeping with our whole NU-LIFE program. We have also researched abreathing technique that almost gives equalbenefits as follows:A. A bilateral person should exhale all of the air

from his lungs as far as possible, now inhalethrough the right nostril as far as possiblewhile holding the left nostril tightly shut, thenrapidly exhale through the left nostril whilethe right one is also held tightly shut. Allmuscles should than test super strong!

B. A homolateral person should exhale all of theair from his lungs as far as possible, now inhalethrough left nostril as far as possible whileholding the right nostril tightly shut, thenrapidly exhale through the right nostril whilethe left one is also held tightly shut. Allmuscles should also test super strong!

Doing either the Mark Time for 30 seconds or thecorrect Breathing Technique every 12 hoursusually gives continuous super strength and maylessen tensions or greatly minimize even severeheadaches. Repeating the breathing more thantwice at the same time may create extreme dizzi-ness without other harm.The first three years with TFH, I associatedclosely with a number of Instructors and Thera-pists connected with TFH. Among them wasVirginia Smith who had been one of Jack LaLanne's top trainers and Ms. Smith was thePresident of Holiday Spas. Besides associatingwith the entire family, there was much shop talkand sharing of ideas of our research. She sharedwith TFH and with me personally their findingsof the 10, 20 and 30 second energy peaks and the5, 15and 25 second peaks of muscle weaknessesthat occurred as muscles were exercised. Shehad hoped to write a book on it and donate it toTFH. She needed more research, so I personallystarted on it and with a few close associates, we

have gone quite a ways with our research andfindings.There are a large number of electrical and timecycles constantly occurring in connection withthe mental and body controls. For an over simpli-fied possible explanation of these causes of whatis happening: When one's positive brain starts toinstigate muscle action, the negative brain ap-plies the brakes with a reactive counter musclewhich causes a negative energy cycle for the first5 seconds; as balance is established, the positivebrain succeeds in causing a positive energy sec-tion of the cycle; then as the energy is mostly usedup to reach that peak at exactly 10 seconds, thenegative energy section of the cycle takes overand carries it to the negative energy peak at 15seconds; now the positive energy section raises itto the 20 second peak, and what goes up startsdown again to its lowest negative peak at 25seconds; the energy positive cycle soars to itshighest peak at 30 seconds.By this time the brain is either tired of this energydown and up yo-yo game or it decides that thatmuscle needs a rest, so both sides of the brainattempt to put it to sleep for a long rest by rapidlyor almost instantly partially annihilating it withhigh frequency negative and positive energythrusts. Knowing this whole picture, one may atany point mentally stop this energy yo-yo pro-gram to either an advantage or disadvantagepositively or negatively. If you stop on one of thepeaks, you reap either the positive energy benefitof that peak or the negative energy weakness ofthe negative peak. Also the 20 second peak isgreater than the 10 second and the 30 second oneis the greatest of all or even more positive than the25 second weakness peak is negative. Besides, ifone stops on the 30 second peak, he not onlyobtains the most super energy boost, but he neveronce starts to destroy his muscles so they needtime out to recuperate or even get sore. In fact,instead, they are only more rapidly developed.This was one great bonus or our research; there'smore!

Now that you know the way your brain functionsduring exercises, you may control its computerlike a robot to turn "off' and "on" at the exacttimes that will be advantageous to muscle build-ing, well-being, endurance and super health.You can do as others are now doing, but it maytake just a little practice if you are like the rest ofus who haven't used 1/10 of our brain's capacity.It always works often more accurate than a quartzwatch. Haven't you set your alarm and haveawakened consistently before it rang?You perhaps have heard that I was a spastic babywith severe brain damage from no oxygen fornearly 30 minutes while the Doctor worked tosave Mother's life. My first 96 hours werecontinuous spasms one after another. Motherprayed me out of each one. I was totally allergicto most foods until I was age 61, also had doublepneumonia when 6 weeks old and 14 times since,then a cerebral hemorrhage with right side para-lyzed for 2 weeks and no intestinal movementuntil they were gangrenous. The Doctors saidthat my problems were hopeless or impossiblemany times. I refused to accept impossible, itonly meant 'sic-em'!!My first 2 Scout Masters and 2 Assistants were allMazama Mountain Climbing Club Members. EdSoderberg took my brother, age 12 and me, age15to pick wild huckleberries near Mt. Hood. Theberries were too scarce to pay, so he tied climbingropes around us and pulled us to the summit ofMt. Hood in oxfords! I did it 7 more times andsigned in 2 times first on the Fourth ofJ uly and onLabor Day! While attending Benson Tech I wasthe President of the Outdoor Club and of theScience Club both for 2 years. Miss Parson wasmy favorite English Instructor because she was aMazama Member and I had a teacher crush onher.

Overexer-cising:10 Sec,

In 1949, my oldest son and I ascended Mt. Whit-ney by the all new East Side trail with its 95switchbacks. It's really a great feeling to knowthat you have succeeded to get on top of every-thing no matter what happens after that, they areall under your feet! I even joined James W.Whittaker's group and heard him tell and showhis attempts to climb K2, the second highest peakafter being first American on Mt. Everest.

With our acquired information, we have beenable to assist a number of others to become StateChamps, also National, Olympic and for theGuinness Book of World Records. Here is a noteof this type:

My name is Randy Webb and I am the MaritalArts (Karate, Kung-Fu, Bando, etc.) Director andFitness Instructor at the Central YMCA and theBaylor School in Chattonooga, Tenn. Myexpe-rience in fitness dates back to approximately theage of 12 from which time I have been involvedin many different athletics and my martial artsexperience started at age 22. At present I am 37and sincerely feel I am only beginning to learnknowledge and skills as well as physically devel-oping myself.

The day after finishing my class with you, Oct.18, 1977, Iproceeded to do an experiment regard-ing a new technique of muscle timing cycle byrunning 10 miles. The technique that you taughtperiodically turned off the upper torso and thenturned it back on, meaning I was able to muchmore completely relax and eliminate needlessstrain and effort during the run by using thistechnique. The unusual thing about running the10miles was that I had not run since last Novem-ber 1976.

The reason for not running was that I had initially

planned to utilize myself in some way for acardiovascular experiment, and as it turned outthis worked out beautifully. The experimentgave me great insight and a new thirst for moreknowledge on how we can tap the fathoms ofpotential that each man, woman, boy and girl has,but rarely discovers.

I am looking forward to continuing in Acu-Touch, Touch For Health, water distillation, thegrowing of cereal grasses, and on and on. L.Randall Webb, Nov. 7, 1977, Chattanooga,Tenn.

Champions are not born, but are made after oneis born! In fact, they aren't better than others, buthave only either eliminated one or more wrongthings or have done a few right things to gain aslight edge over their immediate competition! Itis now known that one's body will automaticallyrepair or rejuvenate itself when the causes forinjuring it are removed. They have even foundthat destroyed brain cells may also be rejuve-nated to the needed amount as all causes of harmare eliminated. It has also been known that ourentire bodies are completely rejuvenated everyseven years so that every part including bones,teeth, brain, organs, muscles, nerves, cells, etc.are all new! This being true, why doesn't anyoneever capitalize on this and work with this toimprove our life style? On the other hand, whydon't we live to be 500 and 700 years likeeveryone normally did before the great flood?I've spent some time to research the causes andwhat we would need to do or eliminate to providethe ideal program for this to happen again as wellas what has happened that we cannot change.Taking the last first, the entire world from pole topole was totally tropical. They wore very littleamount of clothing, but were entirely safe fromany of the harmful rays of the sun, since they wereall filtered out with the water vapor canopy thatencircled our globe. We can do nothing to restoreeither a tropical climate or the protective vaporcanopy, but we can do something about all of theother problems as follows: First, all of life'sproblems are really opportunities for us to find

the best answers and to conquer them like win-ning champions. Our main problem is that wehave been thoroughly programmed mentally todie much sooner, short of 1000 years. Being partof the crowd, we accept what they all do andexpect. We go along with the insurance compa-nies, the general education and the religiousthinking of our day. Perhaps the rest of theproblems that affect our fitness and health, ourmuscles related to exercises, their strength, en-durance and well-being may cause one to changehis attitude and set his goal for an enjoyablelonger life! Mine is 100+ years or until Christreturns!When the above water canopy broke, Elephantsand other animals were instantly deep frozen anddiscovered with tropical food in their stomachs.Man's clothing had to fit his local climate, but themajor universal change was that all started towear shoes or some form of sandals. The vege-tarians are quick to remind that everyone startedto eat meat which surely was the cause for man'sshortened life span. They however, forget thatthere are a large number of tribes that havealways been and still are only vegetable and fruiteaters who have never touched meat, but they nolonger live 500 to 700 years. Applied Kinesiol-ogy with discoveries made by Doctors George J.Goodheart, D.C., Alan Beardall, D.C. and others,that wearing shoes prevents the proper use ofone's walking gait receptors on each foot, whichcauses the brain to turn "off' the automatic use ofone's body muscles. They in turn function in avery weak mode with 1/10 the normal strengthand ability. This causes one's muscles and bodyto more rapidly deteriorate, starting with weak-ening of the elimination meridians - the largeintestine, gall bladder and kidneys. If notchecked, this gross deterioration progresses tothe chemical meridians - the stomach, spleen,small intestine, bladder, circulation, triplewanner and liver. The last stage of deteriorationeffects the last of the 12meridians - the heart andlungs. When the point of no return is reached,one's neck muscles will always test weak in the

clear as introduced by Dr. Sheldon Deal, D.C.One will really need an experienced doctor tohelp!

Let us go back to the beginning of all this deterio-ration and consider the first signs of muscleweakness and functions that serve as flashing redlights or stop signals:

While all body muscles will be weak:as explainedabove, only some of the larger ones will alwaystest weak:in the clear the very moment the brainturns them all "off' to the manual mode. Theeasiest to test is the normally super strong iliacusmuscle that lifts one's leg (originates on the upperback side of the hip and its pie shaped lower pointinserts on the protruded femur bump on the insideof the upper leg bone). Have person sit on astraight back chair and lift each knee as high aspossible while the tester attempts to push itdownward. If it cannot be pushed down, themuscles are all operating in the normal automaticmode with no deterioration. If it can be pusheddown rather easily, all muscles are operating inthe weak: manual mode with full deterioration.Correction is made by setting all 6 walking gaitreceptors on each foot with firm massage asmentioned with Gait Testing in the Touch ForHealth Revised Manual and Dr. Sheldon Deal'sBasic AK Workshop Manual for the positions ofall 6. One may substitute deep pressure on Kl 1/2 on one foot for Bilaterals and both feet forHomolaterals. These corrections usually last 14days, but do every 7 days!Local calls and also from across the nation to letme know that the bottom had just dropped out andthey all wanted me to give them another supershot of energy because they are having the sameold problems again! Runners have suddenlyfound their energy leave and have lost their race,while wrestlers were pinning their man, theirenergy disappeared and their competition pinnedthem. This is why I suggested keeping one'smuscles turned "on" to automatic every 7 daysand not waiting 14 days when one's brain turns

them "off."Strong iliacus muscles agitate with every step thesmall intestines and the colon for healthy peris-talis and elimination, also a properly functioningappendix and ileocecal valve between the smallintestines and the colon. Weak muscles willcause faulty elimination, intestine, colon, appen-dix and ileocecal valve problems. It may evencause the psoas muscles that one's feet are placedto reverse, become spastic, help lift the legs, pullon the lumbar back area, cause chronic backproblems and sudden back pains until one cannotstraighten up and one may be ambulanced to thehospital for a week or two of traction. The psoasexercises the kidneys, the uterus, bladder andprostrates, if weak cause these problems andtrigger heart attacks!A weak ileocecal valve may allow small or largeramounts of colonic putrefied fecal pollution tore-enter the small intestines and go into one'sblood stream as toxic wastes. This will sooncause a severe cold, sinus drainage, catarrh,asthma, acne in adolescents, boils, pneumonia,shingles, etc. It may also cause any or all of thefollowing alarm symptoms: Heart flutter, dizzi-ness, pseudo heart attacks, chest pains, pseudobursitis pains in the shoulder, hips or knees,spontaneous sacroiliac syndrome in absence oftrauma, tinnitis (ringing in the ears), severe head-aches, pallor and dark circles under the eyes, etc.Dr. Fred Stoner, D.C. declares that this onesyndrome is responsible for approximately 40%of all acute cases treated by Chiropractors. Atleast 80% of all structural, chemical and muchmental deterioration with rapid aging stems fromincorrectly walking in shoes. Most of this will allclear up and be prevented by keeping one'smuscles turned "on" to automatic mode. Oneshould always de-program all mental trauma ofabove problems also!The only good I can say about wearing shoes are:1. Some are nice looking.2. Some protect from injury and the weather.3. They are required to get into certain places.

4. They are really high priced.In fact, I have Mason's Shoe Catalog with over400 styles for men and women, and there wasonly one pair of men's moccasins that evenlooked like they might be worn without the aboveproblems. Nothing more for women. A muscletest will prove the fact. Have the person fullybalanced with all muscles testing strong in theclear, walk a few steps and back, then retest hismuscles. They usually test really weak in theclear. Now have him walk again on his toes orjust think about walking on his toes. His musclesshould then test real strong. One may also tightenhis buttocks, relax and walk without weakmuscles. In either case, one must bend the kneesand use them and one's foot arches as shockabsorbers to prevent jarring! If one will alwaysremember to daily tighten the buttocks or to thinkabout walking or running on the toes, his days andexercises will certainly be more enjoyable andbeneficial. Long distance runners never believethat they can run entirely on their toes. I haveencouraged several marathon runners to do their26 miles on their toes and they have been sur-prised with the ease, extra energy and increasedpossibility for winning!Another mechanical almost universal cause forman's shortened life span and definite weaken-ing of muscles is the wearing of metals and oftoday's wearing of battery or solar operatedwatches, hearing aids, pocket computer calcula-tors and pacemakers. Shortly before the flood,nearly everyone began wearing all types of metaljewelry, from bracelets and rings to earrings,nose rings, leg and neck rings, chains and neck-laces. Archaeologists found the formula forhardening brass in the ancient before the floodcity ofUr of the Chaldees. They sold it to the U.S.Government who uses it in the defense depart-ment for making shells. Almost everyone startedwearing their metal jewelry right after the floodas before it. We now know that any form of metalupsets the electrical brain and body control ofmuscles, inhibiting normal functions, leavingone weak and unable to defend oneself against

the tensions, problems and diseases that shortenlife. One often has to learn the hard way(s) beforegiving up or eliminating metallic or electricaldeterioration before death takes its victim!Pierced ears may cause a need for glasses andmetal frames makes things even worse!To exercise properly and to enjoy super fitnessfor better health isn't a Christmas present. Ittakes real work just like it takes to be a winner atanything. One must stop doing some thingswrong and really start doing some things right.

John Marino's 1978 Guinness Bookof World Records was 12 Days, 3 Hours, 41Minutes. The chiropractor brought him to myLos Angeles Convention Center booth in Sep-tember. He got some points and re-entered asecond race that same year, but injured his kneeand didn't finish. That takes more energy thanmany dozens of marathons!!For over 50 years, I had diligently searched andresearched looking for the best possible exerciseprogram that would provide the most benefits inthe shortest possible time! I had tried and usednearly everything to help myself and others to dothe impossible or become champions.When I accidentally heard about the closed mainlymphatic valve at the annual Touch For Healthmeeting in 1978, I had no idea that 75% of thepopulation had this due to lack of physical exer-cise. It has become more prevalent for the samereason until over 90% have closed lymphaticvalves which makes this even more threateningthan cancer or heart attacks! In 1981, I wasinterviewed twice over Radio KSRA, Salmon'slocal station on the Voice of the Valley. Ques-tions phoned were answered for over an hour thefirst time, and nearly an hour and a half the secondtime. The Station Owner was very supportive

and extremely interested in our practical ap-proach to natural health. I offered to check himwith the simple self help methods we were teach-ing. His main lymphatic valve was tightlyblocked shut. I begged him to stop by our Centerfor further instruction. He failed to come, soabout a year and a half later, he was rushed to aSalt Lake Hospital for an almost fatal operationon the lymphatic valve. He finally came afterfour months. He was doing and looking muchbetter for quite some time. He must have ne-glected it again and was taken again to Salt Lakein 1985 with a dangerous cancer condition. Hehas been receiving chemotherapy ever since. Heis in a very precarious condition and looks like askeleton needing a miracle!Another close friend and his wife stopped on theirway back to Tulsa from a health trip to California.It was discovered that both had closed mainlymphatic valves. I stressed the importance ofmaintaining open lymphatic valves with properexercise and daily checks until the exercises wereentirely effective. I didn't seem to impress themof the real seriousness of this personal need. Inabout 6 months the wife was deceased, aftersuffering horribly for only several weeks withcancer of the lymphatic system!

This may all sound only negative and I couldcontinue for hours, but hope that this is enough sothat you immediately chose a proper daily exer-cise habit program that would supply your totalphysical fitness needs including aerobic for thelungs, cardiovascular for the heart and coordi-nated to provide strength, flexibility and tone toall of one's muscles and organs. This may soundcomplicated and take too much time. First, youare worth taking care of. Second, your needs andyour life may depend on it. Bud don't go out andbuy any equipment, join an exercise group, agym, a spa or start jogging. Use our temporaryexercises mentioned below.Stretched unused muscles become weak andflabby like around the stomach while otherunused ones usually shrink, tighten or osify. Thelatter is what happens to block or close the above

mentioned main lymphatic valve located justbelow the right shoulder next to the armpit underthe pronounced dimple area. There are two veryimportant medium large muscles that go over thetop of this valve that serve to function two of themain uses of one's right arm. There are twosimilar muscles for the left arm but no valve toblock. They originate or anchor to the chest andinsert to function the arms near the armpits. Theoverly worked one is called the Pectoralis Majorclavicular and is used to feed one's face, brush theteeth, comb the hair, shave and apply cosmetics.The very much lesser used one is called Pector-alis Major Sternal and is used to tie one's shoes,put on pantyhose, pants or skirts and to fasten abelt at the waist. This much lesser used muscle,because of general inactivity and no proper dailyexercise usually shrinks, tightens, shortens andor ossifies over the main lymphatic valve to blockits flow or entirely close it. That starts mostproblems with gall bladder, thyroid, endocrineglands, defense mechanisms and faulty assimila-tion.The lymphatic vascular system is often termedthe sewer system for one's muscles. It is manytimes larger than the vascular system for theblood. It collects the oxidized fats and proteinsgiven off from muscles as they are being usedincluding one's brain. This yellowish lymph acidfluid is carried to 18 tubes and valves to the rightof one's heart and sometimes called the secondheart which then converges into one tube and thelast main lymphatic valve before entering thesubclavian vein into the blood stream. Then theliver changes it into bitter alkaline bile that aidsthe endocrine glands digest fats to lubricatemuscles.Touch valve area with right palm as left armmuscle is tested. If arm tests weak, mushy orunhooks, valve needs correction. Place righthand high behind door jam, lean away from it asone pushes into muscle at arm's base. Retest,correct as needed. Rotate arms backward like awindmill temporarily for open valve. •NU-LIFECENTER,Box2529,Salmon,ID83467-24hourphone (208) 756-2953.
