PREFACE TO THE MINERAL AND VITAMIN THERAPIES OF THE BASIC BIOLOGICAL

FUNCTIONS

The two greatest discoveries in 20th century medicine are the importance and the multiple role of minerals and vitamins in the human body, as well as their pronounced influence on the basic biological functions of the human organism in health and disease. I am very often asked the question, "How is it that we didn't know about this vital role of vitamins and minerals before the 20th century?" There are two reasons. First, only in the 20th century did the science of biochemistry reach its full development and become the most important branch of medical science. Second, 90 per cent of the discoveries concerning vitamins and minerals were made during the last forty years. And it is not accidental that these vital biochemical discoveries were not made before. "Necessity is the mother of invention" and wherever the urgency for solution of a problem appears, the discovery of the means for the solution will always follow.

"In the good old days" there was no need for knowledge concerning the minerals and vitamins simply because we didn't have mineral or vitamin deficiencies. The mineral and vitamin deficiency diseases are natural, direct consequences of the appearance and development of our present economical and technical system of production, transportation and distribution.

Before the 19th and 20th centuries the means of transportation were primitive and difficult; mass production and distribution of foods were out of the question. In that age there was only a limited production for use. Every family and every little community produced as much as they were able to consume. Only people living around the larger cities were able to sell any surplus they accidentally produced. The enormous mineral richness of the virgin soil, combined with simple primitive agricultural methods, produced grains, vegetables, and fruits rich in mineral and vitamin content. The primitive methods of agriculture conserved the original richness of the soil, replenishing periodically the mineral supply by the application of manures and other simple fertilizers then in common use.

The staple foods used in that age were not as numerous as now. They were often limited to a few cereals, milk, milk products, and some fruits and vegetables. But whatever they ate they had the fullest mineral and vitamin value. This is the reason why in that age man did not have the mineral and vitamin deficiency diseases which in our present age constitute the principal cause of the majority of ailments.

Then appeared the numerous technical discoveries which heralded the beginning of our present economic system. It made possible the mass production and mass conservation of practically all the staple foods of humanity, as well as their transportation and world-wide distribution Production for use disappeared and production for profit became the predominant factor in modern food industries. The essence of home production of foods was quality; in mass production for profit the aim is quantity. The extensive exploitation of the soil through years and years has progressively exhausted the mineral richness

of the soil. Profit is in direct proportion with the quantity of the produced foods not with their mineral or vitamin values. The longer it is possible to preserve and conserve certain food substances, the more profitable is production, as consumption does not depend exclusively on seasonal needs. Little by little appeared a long series of chemical preservatives all of which serve the same purpose—to extend the longevity of the processed foods and to make possible their transportation and distribution to the farthest markets where the need for the various foods is the greatest and where competition in selling them is weakest. The international competition in the production and distribution of foods created the necessity to improve the taste of the different food products, even to the detriment of their nutritional value. As a direct consequence of the aforementioned economical and commercial factors, human nutrition has passed through a radical and all-sized change. All the simple, natural foods, rich in minerals and vitamins, characteristic of the previous centuries, progressively disappeared. New devitalized, processed and artificial food products, poor in minerals and vitamins, appeared and conquered Western civilization. The anarchy of the production of foods for profit became a collective menace to our greatest wealth—human health and vitality and all its biological values.

Let us mention only a few examples to illustrate the classical proverb, "Difficile est satyram non scribere" (It is difficult not to write satirically). The bran of the cereals which represent the staple food of humanity contains approximately three-fifths of their mineral and vitamin values. However, more than 90 per cent of Western humanity eats nothing but cereal products of refined, white flours from which all the bran is removed. This three-fifths of the mineral value of the staple foods of humanity is used to produce all kinds of animal foods, in eloquent defiance to Protagoras' "Man is the measure of all things." It seems that we protect the health of. our animals better than our own. The majority of the mineral and vitamin values of sugar cane is in the molasses. Pursuant with the foregoing incongruity, nothing is more natural than to use it for the production of animal foods. While we are so intensely preoccupied in avoiding vital deficiencies in our animals, we are ourselves suffering from an endless number of mineral- and vitamin-deficiency diseases.

The most disastrous condition in our basic biological functions is a deficiency of the most important minerals and vitamins. In the ultimate analysis, they determine and direct the assimilation and distribution of all food substances ingested by the organism. Minerals and vitamins represent the general staff of the army of the organism while the other food substances—starches, sugar, etc. —represent only the mass of soldiers. Our organism, lacking the important minerals and vitamins, is nothing but a defeated, disorganized army deserted by its general staff. During the past few decades, the various deficiency diseases have deteriorated the public health to such an enormous scale in the Western world (with the exception of a few Balkan and eastern countries where old primitive ways of production still survive), that the study of mineral. and vitamin deficiencies,

their influence on the basic biological functions of the organism and the practical application of the conclusions of these studies became imperative.

The war has had a decisive influence in accelerating the tide. The statistics of the medical department of the Selective Service Board revealed such an. unbelievably disastrous picture of the biological condition of American youth (in early 1942 approximately one-half of the draft-age generation were found unfit for military service) that the government had to take immediate remedial measures. As a consequence of this radical intervention, the white bread became enriched with Vitamin B1; the canned milk became irradiated with Vitamin D; the production of demineralized foods decreased; and the production of mineral- and vitamin-rich foods not yet known or only occasionally used, such as soy beans, peanuts, whole-grain cereals, etc., appeared together with all kinds of mineral and vitamin supplements. They are now extensively used in the Army and by civilians.

In many ways the reaction has been an extreme one. Minerals and vitamins have become the mode. Little by little the scientific requirements have taken on the purely commercial aspects of mass food production. As a consequence of an exaggerated advertising and publicity campaign of the various manufacturers, the public expects miracles through the use of mineral and vitamin supplements, and even neglects the use of mineral and vitamin-rich foods, expecting that these supplements may take care of everything and supply the entire requirements of all the minerals and vitamins. This is succinctly expressed in the following quotation (Pacific Rural Press, April 4, 1942):

"People moan in their coffee cups about the 'good old days.' "Were they the 'good old days?' "There is the vivid memory of Mother, raiding the cow's

bran for hot muffins, if the graham flour sack was empty. We thought they were grand doused with butter and dark, unrefined syrups.

"But in town we admired the lightness and whiteness of the baker's bread, and Grandmother told breathlessly of the parties where the hostess served 'bread cut thin as lace.'

"We have traveled a long distance. The white bread is whiter, and cut thinner. If we ask for whole wheat bread it is usually a synthetic brunette. The syrup is often a bleached huzzy. Oleo, refined out of soap fat materials, uses the rouge of printers' ink.

"Along came the war. We found we had been too 'refined.' One-half of the supposed flower of our manhood, at the draft examination, is shown to have weaknesses and diseases connected with unbalanced diets.

"Food scientists, summoned by the President, suggest a basic diet for civilians, and it is officially adopted for the Army and Navy.

"Millers, with their refining and bleaching equipment, do not want to take the whole wheat road. So they fortify their white flour with synthetic vitamins. But it is not, the equal of whole wheat flour, and the campaign for it bogs down.

"Dr. McCollum, at Johns Hopkins University, summarizes the matter. There are at least 40 food principles in a grain of wheat. The miller takes out 30 of them, puts in synthetic substitutes for 3, leaving a deficiency of 27.

"But Tfe still struggle to maintain our refined and synthetic adorned foods.

"People eat polished rice, instead of brown rice, and buy bottles of Vitamin B made out of rice polish.

Both gentlemen and ladies prefer blondes in sugar and syrups, despite the fact that they have had their vitamins and minerals largely refined out.

"Fish liver oils have been added to oleo, but like flour, the doctored oleo does not contain some of the things found in butter.

"People pay doctor bills to get inorganic iron. Organic iron is Nature's gift to you if you include dried fruits and other sources of iron in your balanced diet.

"We pay vast sums for the beauty of medication and ministration and pass up the free bonus of the beauty of health to be found in balanced eating.

"Some of us seek to recapture some of the 'good old days.' We get some wheat and an old coffee mill, for a bit of home milling, but the enthusiasm of the younger generation is something less than zero.

"It would appear that the 'good old days' need a bit of glamorizing, advertising, publicizing.

"Thoughtful people know that we are losing a war because of too much refinement; are losing health and real beauty; will be much safer in the future if we return to some of the simpler, more self-sufficient ways.

"But most people want miracles. "Were they the 'good old days'?" "Will we have the 'good new days'?" While it is clear from the foreging conclusions that I do not

want to underestimate the importance and value of the minerals and vitamins on the human metabolism, at the same time I must emphasize that the various mineral and vitamin products are supplements to and not substitutes for the mineral- and vitamin-rich natural foods. As in everything else, we shall also in this respect follow the middle way of moderation and scientific judgment In my books published before the latest biochemical discoveries of minerals and vitamins, I always emphasized their importance and value, in spite of the general indifference predominating at that time. In the same way, I protest at present against all the exaggerations of the opposite extreme—against the claim that mineral and vitamin supplements are a substitute for natural, mineral-and vitamin-rich foods.

Considering the present controversies about the role of minerals and vitamins in the basic biological functions, I give a summary of biochemical, economical, and practical correlations concerning their therapeutic and nutritional use.

In the light of the latest discoveries in biochemistry, it is evident that the basic sources of disease are: (1) an inner deficiency in the organism or (2) an infection coming from the outside, or (3) a combination of both of these. If we consider that

the outcome of a disease depends on the changing, dynamic correlation of the two opposite fighting forces, the resistance of the organism and the intensity of infection, and if, in addition, we consider the determining role of mineral adequacy or deficiency in the strengthening or weakening of the basic biological functions of the organism, then it will be evident that the cure of a disease, as well as the maintenance of normal health, will depend more on the role of minerals and vitamins on the human metabolism than on anything else.

The first and most important task in combating any disease is the strengthening of the basic biological functions of the organism. This is the best guarantee of successful resistance of the body against any disease. Consequently a methodical course of mineral and vitamin therapy, based on a well-balanced natural dietary and general bodily hygiene, is the best and simplest way of recovering lost health and of maintaining it once it is regained.

An illustrations of the extremely important part played by minerals in the basic biological functions, we may mention the role of calcium and iron. But it must be understood that the other minerals are equally vital. Calcium determines the following important functions: the building of bones and teeth, the coagulation of the blood, the heart, nerve and muscle functions, etc. Iron. governs blood cell development, the formation of haemoglobin, oxygen transport, tissue respiration and normal complexion, etc.

Other important minerals are: sodium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulphur, manganese, copper, chlorine and iodine. They play similarly important parts in the basic biological functions of the organism. .

For city people unable to grow their own vegetables or buy properly grown vegetables and fruits, the solution is to supplement their daily foods with a quantity of pure, organic minerals in powder or tablet form, obtained by careful scientific methods of dehydration from selected vegetables and fruits of the first quality which have been grown on soil enriched by natural methods of fertilization. In this way, the mineral deficiencies in the daily foods are corrected, thereby complying with the basic mineral requirements of the organism.

It is important to exercise care in the choice of the mineral supplement. It will be realized from what has already been said that the dehydrated vegetables or fruits will not be satisfactory unless they are grown on soil made rich in minerals by special methods. The plants must have been carefully selected; they must have been scientifically dehydrated and properly handled; or the compound may be useless or of almost no value due to mineral deficiencies in the plants used in its preparation. Too high or too low a temperature in the dehydration process can lead to undesirable chemical changes in the plant, while humidity or exposure to light can have harmful results. Thus not all the compounds in general use have the desired quality, either through lack of skill and knowledge of the producer, or because commercial practices have triumphed over science and common honesty. It is, therefore, important to verify the source of supply when such compounds are employed.

Organic mineral compounds and tablets taken to supplement mineral deficiencies in the diet must be carefully administered. They contain vitamins, some of which are soluble in fat, while others are soluble in water. Improper use may lead to a loss of as much as 50 to 80 per cent of their potential value. As the general public cannot be expected to know how to employ them to best effect, it is important that the supplements should be accompanied by precise and detailed instructions for their use. The substances with which they are compatible and incompatible should be indicated. The vague and merely quantitative instructions, which are all that is usually sent with such compounds at present, are insufficient. Attention to these small details may make all the difference between failure and success in the use of the valuable mineral supplement.

Commercial exploitation of the soil reduces the period of growth of vegetables and fruits, uses one-sided, artificial methods of maintaining soil fertility, and seeks to produce vegetables and fruits of exaggerated size for motives of profit. In the United States these harmful practices, and many other manipulations inseparable from the commercial mass production of foods, result in deficiencies in the vast majority of fruits, vegetables, cereals, etc., in the most important minerals which govern the body's basic biological functions. As a direct consequence, an overwhelming majority of the people of the United States—the first country in the world to adopt mass production of commercial foods—are suffering from one or another of the diseases caused by mineral deficiencies. The best way to remedy this catastrophic situation is for the family to produce vegetables and fruits in a small garden, using natural methods of cultivation in a properly enriched soil. In all the agricultural countries of Europe each house is surrounded by a garden of no great size in which all the most necessary fruits and vegetables are produced for the family's own use. Of course, this is not possible in modern cities with high-speed working conditions and lack of space for soil cultivation. It is only possible in the country or suburban areas.

As Director of the "Hygiene-Nutritional Service" of the First Christians' (Essene) Church, I receive hundreds of letters each month from our members asking me to help in the solution of their different problems concerning mineral and vitamin deficiencies. According to my experience, the great majority of their troubles are related to mineral and vitamin deficiencies or protein deficiencies. Therefore, it is necessary to provide the average man, without the knowledge of biochemical science, and fighting these problems, with a precise and practical solution.

It is evident that the general solution can only be achieved by a radical transformation of the whole system of food production and distribution. This could be realized only in a collective way, through government leadership. It will come about in the future, little by little. As an immediate individual solution for people living in the country, there is the home production of mineral- and vitamin-rich vegetables and fruits on richly remineralized soil, based on the following principles: (1) Using only organic fertilizers in gardens and farms; (2) Erecting satisfactory compost heaps on every' farm and in every

garden; (3) Utilizing all refuse, garbage, leaves, grass clippings, etc., for making organic fertilizers; (4) Discontinuing the burning of farm and garden waste materials such as weeds, straw, etc.; (5) Eliminating insects and pests by preventing them from building their protective coverings, and finally, (6) Forbidding the use of all types of poison sprays and washes. These practices we shall consider as the best immediate practicable solution for those living in the country.

Finally, as the best immediate individual solution for those working and living in the city, we suggest the use of mineral and vitamin supplements daily, as an addition to and safety factor in their foods to prevent and remedy mineral and vitamin deficiencies until the future remineralization of their home gardens and the home production of a minimum of the most valuable vegetables rich in minerals and vitamins will be realized.

Hence the purpose of this book—to make it possible for the student, the medical practitioner and the layman to know the role, importance and value of all the minerals and vitamins in health and disease from every practical viewpoint.

The author will be pleased to give, complimentarily, all the information required by those who may not find in this book the concrete answer to their specific problems. The material for this book has been selected from my numerous lectures on these subjects and should be considered as in notebook form.

COSMOTHERAPY, THE ESSENE

SCIENCE OF LIFE Cosmotherapy is a system of medicine based on the best

application of all the cosmic and natural forces to the human organism in health and sickness. It forms, part of a wider system of therapeutics—paneutherapy—which is the application of all the forces of nature and all the true cultural values of society in such a way as to harmonise all these healing factors with the whole structure and function of the individual.

It aims at creating the best possible environment for the patient during the period of cure from every viewpoint. It achieves this by controlling everything that enters the organism or consciousness of the individual undergoing treatment. And it keeps a careful watch on all the various manifestations, both physical and psychic, leaving the same organism during that period.

The purpose of this technique is to enable the patient to take advantage of every source of knowledge, energy and harmony available, and avoid all inharmonious and harmful influences. He is thus enabled to acquire individual harmony and retain it after the period of cure during the rest of his life. These sources of harmony consist of every manifestation of the natural forces (air, sun, water, food, etc.) and all the higher cultural values (masterpieces of universal literature, philosophy, music, etc.), based on the understanding and practice of the natural and cosmic laws as manifested in the individual and in society.

These various therapeutic agencies therefore lead the patient to a general reform of his life and enable him to achieve the best forms of individual and social life in harmony with his natural and cosmic environment.

Medicine thus becomes a new science, "'paneubiotics," the science of "all-good-life." The principle is seeking the optimum in every field. The practitioner of the new medicine will have to possess simultaneous knowledge of the natural and social sciences, of literature, philosophy and the arts, so as to be able to put every source of harmony at the disposal of his patients in the course of their treatment.

THE BASIS OF COSMOTHERAPY. THE DYNAMIC UNITY OF MAN,

COSMOS AND THERAPIES. Man Cosmos Therapies 1. Bones. Earth. Geotherapy (mineral therapy, clay and mud applications). 2. Blood. Water. Hydrotherapy (external: water baths; internal: juice drinking). 3. Skin and lungs. Air. Aerotherapy (air baths, rhythmic breathing). 4. Nerves. Sun. Heliotherapy (sun baths). 5. Muscles. Vegetation. Nutrotherapy (diet). 6. Movement. Movement. Dynamotherapy (physical culture, exercises). 7. Cell. Atom. Cellulotherapy (fasting).

The bones in the human organism represent the solid element in the same way that the lithosphere (earth) represents it in nature; besides, our bones are constructed with the inorganic minerals of the earth which enter our organism in organic combinations through the assimilation of fruits and vegetables.

The circulation of the blood in the human organism has the same role and function as the circulation of water in nature; it cleanses, dissolves, eliminates.

Respiration by the skin and lungs has the same role and function in the organism as the circulation of air in nature. It refreshes and everywhere distributes the oxygen necessary for life.

The nerves have the same role and function in the organism as the solar rays in nature; without the sun's rays terrestrial nature, and, without the nerve vibrations the human organism would be dead.

The muscles in the organism unite the bones, blood, skin, lungs, and nerves just as the vegetation in nature unites the earth, water, air, and sunshine.

Movement has the same role in the human organism as in nature. It creates changes and connects every part is dynamic unity.

The cell is the last unity in the human organism just as the atom is in nature; they both have the same function— they sustain the reciprocal transformation of the various energies.

There is a single disease—inharmony, whose symptoms are variously manifested, depending on the extent and mode in which natural law has been violated. This is the law of disease.

There is a single health-harmony, which is manifested in permanent evolution towards perfection, in proportion as we are able to create and utilize the preconditions of existence in harmony with the laws of nature.

Illnesses are produced by struggle between the natural vitality of the human organism and inferior, degenerating processes.

The symptoms of disease are without exception the result of this battle going on in our organism.

Man is a microcosm in the macrocosm. He lives in a field of permanently varying forces; his health is harmony with the surrounding cosmic and natural forces—his disease, physical or mental, is disharmony with them. Cosmotherapy is the science of re-establishing the disturbed harmony between man and the natural and cosmic forces. It is at once the most ancient and most modern system of healing, practised by the greatest Masters of all ages: Sumerians—Zoroaster—Buddha—Yoga Systems—Kung-Fu-Tse—-Lao-Tse—The Egyptian and Greek Therapeutae—The Pythagoreans—Hippocrates—The Essenes—Medieval and Modern Natural Therapeutics—etc., constantly verified by modern natural research and discovery.

It is with the purpose of spreading the knowledge of the Essene Teaching in general, and Cosmotherapy in particular that, the Essene School of Life presents this list of its publications, as a contribution to the Essene ideal of omnilateral realization of the optimal forms of Life.

Edmond Bordeaux Szckely, President, Essene School of Life.

THE ESSENE SCHOOL OF LIFE The satisfactory progress of this venture has now reached

the stage where the ever-growing numbers of its friends, adherents and correspondents have established the pre-conditions for the greater dissemination of the Essene teachings and principles.

Hitherto, the School has deemed it ethically imperative to operate entirely upon its own resources; a decision that has necessarily limited the scope of its services. Now that the spade-work has been completed by its founders and it can offer concrete advantages to members, such membership is invited, so that well-wishers and beneficiaries may take active part in its educational work.

By extending its services to their acquaintances and creating an ever-widening mutually beneficient cycle, members will increase the scope of services available to themselves. Because the School will no longer expend all its own funds on purely administrational expenses, many more people needy of its advice and assistance will be able to receive them.

Thus will be erected a stable foundation for its future operations, on the basis of Natural and Cosmic Law—ever perfecting and being perfected.

The School is not desirous of setting up a rigid institution governed by dogmatic regulations, but rather an untrammelled, non-restrictive association whereby full opportunity can be given for the free interchange of knowledge and ideas, leading to the steady evolution of an expanding body of intelligent, well-informed and altruistic people, periodically appointing and amending its own rules of conduct and progressively more fitted by practice and study to afford free instruction and assistance in the art of living to their fellow-men.

Should the number of members reach a figure where such action becomes practical, the School intends to inaugurate a University Section, affiliated with its collaborators overseas, wherein students may obtain instruction in all Essene teachings, agricultural, therapeutical and cultural, and take degrees of graduation.

The membership fee has been computed from experience, based upon the net administrative cost per correspondent (stenography, stationery, postage, etc.). In accordance with Essene principles no other charge is made.

In furtherance of these principles it is dearly affirmed that no person requiring and requesting the School's aid shall be deprived of same because of financial stringency and that wherever necessary the School shall provide its services free of charge.

As always, creative altruism will remain the keynote of all its activities.

EDMOND BORDEAUX SZEKELY.

SOME PRESS OPINIONS FROM ENGLAND

"Cosmotherapy, The Medicine of the Future" is the achievement of a man who has the double advantage of extensive learning in every field—experience of all conditions of life on his scientific and healing expeditions; besides these qualifications of the author, his intellectual greatness, sincerity, and inspiring enthusiasm can be felt everywhere in the book. His book considers every field of human knowledge and presents the first complete synthesis that closely relates each part of life into a harmonious and intelligent whole, extending from the early history of man to modern cosmic science and including in its scope all human culture. Its aim is to teach and and make known the science of "PANEUBIOTICS", which shows the way to realise the best forms of all human activities, the whole of human happiness."

"It is the most complete treatise on natural healing ever written and makes use of every known treatment." —Health and Life. London.

PROFESSOR SZEKELY'S BI-MONTHLY PERSONAL

LETTER COURSES. Initiation into the Essene Life and Traditions is given in

three four-monthly courses of eight letters each. Because of the inter-dependence of their correlative material the three courses should be taken in their entirety as study of one without the other will result in incomplete and therefore faulty knowledge. Course 1. THE SEVENFOLD PEACE $4.00 The greatest synthesis of human knowledge on Life and Wisdom. Course 2. COMMUNIONS WITH THE ANGELS OF THE EARTHLY MOTHER $4.00 Course 3. COMMUNIONS WITH THE ANGELS OF THE HEAVENLY FATHER $4.00 The Holy Communions with the Angels held by the Patriarchs, Prophets and Essene Masters, with hitherto unpublished material on the Essene Science of Angelology.

SUMMER PUBLICATIONS—1943 ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECONSTRUCTION OF THE

ANCIENT ESOTERIC CULTURES During his researches into the ancient cultures and religions

of humanity, commonly based upon the original fount of heliolithic culture, the author has applied consistently the principle of omnilateral dialectics to his quest for and discovery of the pure, uncorrupted forms of the original records, manuscripts and relics, in order that students may, in their turn, study the evidence in its pristine, unbiased freshness and gain the full measure of its scientific and esoteric meaning.

To this end many years have been devoted to the compilation not only of the accurate geographical, ethnological, philological, historical and exegetical data and proofs pertaining to each . era and culture, but also to their correct archaeological reconstruction.

Therefore it has been decided to make available to students, in miniature form, archaeologically exact reproductions of the sacred altars, rituals and symbols of two great esoteric cultures, the Essene and the Nahoa. With each set will be provided complete descriptions and instructions regarding the rituals and initiation into the respective traditions and communions.
