Dear brothers and sisters,

It has become clear that the swine flu is a man-made artifact. On the one hand, it has to do with the unspeakable conditions in factory farms:-
Animals kept in industrial conditions, crowded into small pens next to each other, fed unnatural diets, and kept ‘healthy’ with a regime of veterinary drugs, will have greatly weakened immune systems and will effectively act as living Petri dishes in which this virus and others may combine and recombine to become unique strains that, in theory, can also be uniquely virulent.

On the other, it tells us how, due to the conditions of life and nutrition in the late industrial world, the ability of people to resist disease has been vastly diminished. This for a variety of reasons beginning with the consumption of highly processed foods originating in the bowels of chemical plants. Then there is the pollution of the air we breathe and the water we drink. There is yet another sort of pollution, namely, the electromagnetic energy emanating from cell phone towers and wireless devices. (In this regard, the disappearance of masses of bees is a warning,as surely, they are but the canaries in the coal mine.)

Then there is yet another element,the the onset of the worldwide economic crisis. 11 million Americans have lost their jobs and the number is still growing -no wonder there is so much fear. What sort of population could be more vulnerable than one in danger of losing their jobs, who moreover are clogged with chemicals, overweight, breathing polluted air and drinking polluted water. Contagions do not just appear -they arise when there is a severe imbalance. Furthermore, they serve to correct the imbalance- when nothing else will.)

What then do we find in the popular press? Namely the fantasy that for no reason at all, a bug just happened to mutate and furthermore took on an untoward form. (Reminds me of when I was a kid,would wonder why it was that aliens from outer space invariably had some rather nasty intentions-why I wondered,if they were so smart-couldn’t they take a more constructive or positive attitude toward this long suffering human race?!!)

Now there has been a lot of talk about the influenza epidemic of 1918. It is said that it was responsible for the death of somewhere between 50 to 100 million people. Now the pundits of mechanistic science attribute this to a random mutation ignoring the fact that the epidemic broke out just as World War I was drawing to a close. It was an orgy of slaughter and indescribable horror. It is estimated that 60 million soldiers were mobilized across Europe out of which there were 40 million casualties, of which there were 20 million deaths (including civilians). Two-thirds of the soldiers mobilized ended up either dead or injured, a staggering statistic. Soldiers crowded in trenches under conditions of appalling filth and stench.The line of trenches ran across France from the Atlantic coast to the Swiss alps.No mention of this, of course... it was just a random bug, that for no apparent reason, happened to mutate!

Make no mistake,epidemics are in a very real sense man-made. Furthermore they will appear again and again as no effort has been made to address their underlying cause.

Instead we see an alienated science racing to develop this or that the vaccine to counter the innumerable genetic variations. Not only does this mean enormous, windfall profits but tragically enough it gives people the impression that their health is beyond their control.

Furthermore the entrepreneurial spirit has not been slow to capitalize upon the situation with every type of supplement, “magic food”, “super food”, “miracle food” or whatever- all supposedly to confer some sort of immunity. To this we answer:- parsley lettuce celery, kale and Swiss chard! Put them in a blender with some spring water, and press the button and you have a magnificent green drink! What can be more healing then finely divided greens?!

Now it is curious, so curious that nowhere have I seen mention of one of the most obvious and powerful measures, namely, fasting. In my own experience I have found it to be exceedingly effective. At Living Tree Community, I fast for 36 hours at the beginning of each week. It makes the rest of the week possible. Can’t remember when I’ve had as much as a sniffle or cold. Alas, one can not package it or bottle it and sell it at a ridiculous price!

We recommend to those who wish to explore this further to study Professor Arnold Ehret’s classic Rational Fasting. Written nearly 90 years ago, it is altogether cogent. A safe and sane approach by a master. (Of course, a fast of any duration should be supervised by a licensed practitioner.)

Our suggestion then is to rejoice with organic living greens, periodic cleansings, vigorous exercise and plenty of sleep. Go out and play in the sun!
With kindness and appreciation,
