Or, DENNIS P. BURKITT, M.D., one of the greatest Surgeons of England says: "FOR GOOD HEALTH DON'T GO AGAINST THE GRAIN." (See article, L.A. Sunday Times, Aug. 27, 1972, Sec. II, Pg.1) On his recent return from 20 years of intensive research in 3 rural areas of the world, he lectured before 200 of the most sophisticated Physicians and Surgeons who sat in stunned silence. listening intently. Dr. Burkitt, honored world-wide for his scientific approach to Medical Research, reported his findi ngs in 20 years of intensive research and calmly dropped such medical block-busters as. "WHERE WHOLE GRAIN, or COURSE GRAIN,INCLUDING the BRAN,ls USED IN THE DAILY DIET, there will be: NO APPENDICITUS NO OBESITY NO COLONIC POLYPS (HEMORRHOIDS)

he calls a HIGH FIBER diet and cuts the digestive time in half again, to 17 HRS. and adds about a dozen more conditions or diseases that humans will never be troubled with, including PHLEBITIS, CHOLOSTERAL and HEART DISEASE. D.

Jack West says: "My Grandfather West always testified that the WORD OF WISDOM saved his life ... particularly wheat. He lived to a ripe old age and the day before his death, he walked from the steep hills of 9th Ave. clear down to the Salt Lake Temple and back in his88th year. My father wouldn't listen to his Dad, until three Drs. told him at the age of 47 that he couldn't live morethan 6 months. Healways thereafter maintained that the WORD OF WISDOM saved his lI'e ... particularly WHEAT. But he went overboard. He wouldn't even eat a dish of ice cream without a spoonful of wheat on top of it ... And too much of even a good thing, is still too much. Yet he lived to the ripe old age of80.1 wouldn'tlisten tomy Dad ... (It seems every generation has to learn for itself that 'the stove is hot.') ... I had had one cold after another ... on an average 01 every other month and some of them just laid me low; and hay fever from the beginning of summer to the end of summer. Also, the Dr. told me I had to lose 40 to 50 Ibs. of weight. I could lose it by dieting, but then, like a VerVo, I'd come back up again. A friend told me mild barley drink would get rid of my colds, so I said, maybe I'd better try to live' some of the positive elements of the WORD OF WISDOM, so in '969, I not only started using some mild Barley drink, but I have eaten 3 heaping teaspoons of cooked wheat each day. Since 19691 haven't had a common cold, and only lV, days of hay fever and I've never had to use 8 laxative and 8S a complete plus factor, I've lost 50 Ibs. of weight so gradually I didn'.t even know I was losing it until my trousers would start to fall off, and the wonderful part is that it stays off. I've now lost 60 Ibs. and have levelled out at the exact weight I was all through high school and college, and I feel better than I have in years and am rarin' to go places and do things, even though I'm a Great Grandfather. WHEAT is the most wonderful food on earth. And WHEATGREENS CHLOROPHYL LIQUID is the greatest of drinks."

E.

Just incase you want to try it ... here are some suggestions: I cook up a week's supply at a time. Soak the wheat 24 hrs. in twice as much water as you have wheat. Then I cook it just long enough to bring it to a boil. As soon as the lid begins to dance, or steam comes out, shut off the heat, then when it cools, put it in the refrigerator and use it any way you would use rice or potatoes. Use it like pearl barley in any ki,rd of soup; as a filler in any kind of casserole dish; as a filler in meat loat: or cook hamburger, break up in bite-size chunks, add the wheat to it just tong enough to warm up the wheat. Wheat scrambled with eggs or added to an omelette is just delicious. or wheat with butter and salt and pepper on it, like hot rice is especially good ... or make "WESTERN GRAIN" with 'fa brown rice and '12 cooked wheat. There are hundreds of ways to use wheat. I'm now eating spouted wheat. .. approximately halt sprouted wheat and half cooked wheat. Put the moist wheat in any glass jar. Turn your little "homemade glasshouse" on its side and roll around to spread the wheat. .. leave lid off. Set in the light, but not direct sunlight. Within 36 hrs. there will be sprouts as long as the kernals of wheat. I then put the sprouted wheat in the refrigerator and eat one or two heaping teaspoonsful each day uncooked. It's very tasty and perfectly chewable once it is sprouted; or, you can use the sprouted wheat any way you would use cooked wheat. Try it, .. you'll like it! and remember, the minute wheat sprouts it picks up Irom 10 to 30 times the Vitamin and nutritional values it had before it is sprouted. Grow WHEATGRASS in a t" deep x '8" x 26" Bake Sheet or something similar. Only t' of soil is needed. Use Dr. Ann Wigmore's system ... soak the wheat tor 24 hrs., then soak the soil and spread the wheat so that kernai is touching kernal, cover with 8 layers 01 soaked newspaper to hold in moisture and then put a sheet of plastic over the paper to build up heat. When the greens have grown about remove plastic and paper and put where there is light, but not direct sunlight. Vou can grow this year-round indoors. Harvest with scissors at the' st joint (where the 1 st leaf comes out of the main stem). Don't use the 2nd growth. Dump the stubble, soil, incl. the root system upside down in a compost heap and start out with new soil. I use a "Health Fountain" hand grass juicer from the R & R Mill, Smithfield, Utah. Don't use an Osterizer ... it whips too much oxygen into the juice and kills 60% of the food value. Dilute the juice from a 3 oz. bunch of grass in a glass of cold water and sip it. The wholesome herb, .. YJHEATGRASS saved my life and I can't praise it highly enough. Power Grass Juicer ... "Wheateena" Tarlow Designs, 6301 Lindenhurst, Los Angeles. CA90048, (21 3) 933-8622.

VEGETABLES ...

"Fruit of the vine, whether

or ABOVE THE GROUND."

The Armed Forces Oietics Dept. found that everyone should have 3 vegetables every day, , . and interestingly enough, they use either 2 VEGETABLES that grow above the ground and' that grows In the ground, or 2 In the ground and' above the ground, that they always have some of each type,each day.

B.

Wherever possible the WORD OF WISDOM recommends that we eat things "ln the season thereof," which would appear to mean FRESH ... and as near like the Lord made them as possible. We are "refining" our foods into what some Drs. call "Foodless Foods". Wisdom·3

How long has it been since you have used a MILD BARLEY DRINK for your main drink?

MILD BARLEY DRINK STORY: Before joining the Church, Wendall Groves worked many years in a brewety. He'said that in all those years he had never known anyone in the brewery to have a common cold. Many would start with a cold, but then they would go bytheWer1zvatand take a brimming cup of Wertz. It would knock out the cold just like magic. Jack West who was teaching a Priesthood class on the WORD OF WISDOM said. "Wendall. what in the world is Wertz?" And Wendall said, "It's just what the Lord is talking about there in the WORD OF WISDOM (D&C 89:17). , , a MILD BARLEY DRINK ... before it has 'worked its head off' and turned 'alcoholic' and before it becomes malted. We drank the warm liquid which was pleasantly sweet from the sprouted Barley, and packed with whatever it takes to knock out a cold." Jack said, "I wonder if that same idea would work with wheat?", .. And Wendall said, "I'll bet it would." .. , and sure enough, it did!

BODY WASH, "Slrong

drinks are nol for the belly, but for the washing of your bodies,"

A.

For #7 positive, we go back to Verse #7 and turn a negative into a positive.

B.

Reader's Digest reports that Medical Doctors have found that washing frequently with water and caustic soap doesn't seem to keep our skin clean and free from harmful bacteria. We wash our face and hands most frequently and they are the two places that have the highest ha rmful bacteria count. We wash the middle of the back (out of reach) least and it has the least harmful bacteria. Nothing has been found better for cleansing the skin and toning the body than an ALCOHOL RUBI WHY NOT DO MORE OF IT? (Readers Digest, Apr. 1969.)

Mise, .. EAT AND "USE WITH PRUDENCE AND THANKSGIVING,.. IN THE SEASON THEREOF (FRESH), AND ONLY IN TIMES of EXCESS OF HUNGER." (Verses 11,13,15) 00 you think anyone in the Church keeps #8??? A.

PRUDENCE: In law we have the "Rule of the PRUDENT MAN". What would the PRUDENT MAN DO? He would DO what he should do and NOT 00 what he should not do. Now relate this to the WORD OF WISDOM, A PRUDENT MAN WILL OBEY and NOT DISOBEY the Rules. A PRUDENT MAN will NOT EAT WHEN he is ANGRY and UPSET. "Many illnesses are due, not so much to what the patient is eating, !lut rather by what is eating the patient." Dr. Daniel H. Sugarman (Psychotherapist) "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine" (Prov. 17:22)

B.

THANKSGIVING: Start every meal by sincerely thanking our Heavenly Father for the food and aski n9 His blessing on it, then eat with true thankfulness. Peter Marshall, Chaplin of the Senate, came home one night and found his wife had hash for dinner and he said, "Honey, you'll have to return thanks tonight, because I can't fool God anymore and He knows I'm not thankful forhash." (Maybe, in view of the WORD OF WISDOM he Shouldn't have eaten it at all.)

C.

"IN THE SEASON THEREOF," (FRESH). Maybe we should be eating less canned food, packaged food, frozen food and especially less processed and refined food and instead eat more FRESH FOOD and perhaps we should eat more UNCOOKED FRESH FRUIT, BERRIES, VEGETABLES, SPROUTED GRAINS and GRASSES, particularly the KING OF GRASSES. WHEATGRASS.

D.

EAT AND "USE ONLY IN TIMES OF EXCESS OF HUNGER" (and quit before you're fulll). On this point we're probably very safe in saying that not one member of the Church keeps all the Positive Elements of the WORD OF WISDOM. Many nutritionists say that we are "eating" ourselves into early graves. A Dr. has said, "Most people live on 1/3 of what they eat and the Drs. live on the rest." Cartoon: Dr. to portly patient: "We'll make your diel real simple ... It it tastes good, spit it out." Cartoon: Overweight lady to friend: "When I'm dieting, I know I shouldn't eat so much corn-on-the-cob., , but, I never put butter on it ...... Her friend's 3-word answer, "Neither do pigs." "If you want to spend your money and have something to show for it. try lots of rich food." Funny Song: "My Country 'tis of thee ... 'Ah turkey, 'tis of thee; so good with cranberry, of thee I sing. I love thy breasts and wings, thy drumsticks fit for Kings, but I can't eat a thing ... I am dieting." Another Dr. said, "1/3 of what we eat keeps us alive and the other 2/3 ki lis us." Dr. Ann Wigmore has gone even further, .. She says, "90% of wha t we eat is 'Foodless Food' and we live on the 10% the hu ma n system is able to sift out and use. She says two 3 oz. servings of WHEATGRASS daily will give the body every chemical, minerai, vitamin, nutritional element and trace element, In all 103 categories, that the body needs to keep itself healthy, well and free from all illnesses and disease, An attorney, his wife and 3 children proved this by living on nothing but WHEATGRASS, for 1 year. At the end of-that time they were all healthier than at the start and were all at normal weight. ("Wheatgrass, God's Manna" by Or. Ann Wigmore, M.D. and Ph.D. in nutrition.)

E.

Let Jack H. West finish his own story: "I had about everything wrong with my system that could be wrong. In 1921 I was brought to Calif. to die with heart trouble and three Drs. had told Mother and Dad that I had less than 6 months to live, but I'd be more comfortable the last few months at sea level

instead of in Salt Lake where Rheumatic Fever had left me with 2 leaking valves and nerves on the fringe of St Vitis Dance. And I've been living on borrowed time ever since. Every time a group of Drs. have predicted my early demise, I chuckle and tell them I've outlived every group of Drs. that predicted my early demise. As recently as 1961 three Drs. in consultation told me I had 2'12 months to live if I kept up the pace I was going. I've lived to get two of those Drs. and I think I'll outlive the other one. I'm a Diabetic (it runs in the family). I was losing my voice ... as an ordinance worker and officiator at the Oakland Temple I couldn't last out 8 hrs. without being down to a whisper and my wife said, 'If you ever lose your voice you'll lose your Gift of Gab, which would be tragic! ... I had infected kidneys and they were recommending removing one. I couldn't get more than 20 min. away from a privvy and for my lecture engagements that just wouldn't do. I suffered tragically with Rheumatoid Arthritis ... then in 1972 a panel of three Drs. told me I had less than a year to live with cancer of the Lymph Nodes and the more they tampered with it the more it would spread. I had a growth the size of an apple under my right arm; a growth on my chest the size of a grapefruit with 1/3 showing on the surface and my whole body was covered with vicious cancer sores. Living the FULL WORD OF WISDOM has controlled or cured everyone of those conditions. Apricot seeds got a control on the Cancer, . , 30 per day and then when I learned about WHEATGRASS CHLOROPHYL DRINK, the highest known source of Vitamin B-17 which I firmly believe is the control vitamin for Cancer, the Cancer growths not only quit growing but diminished in size, until I have just a little pimple under my right arm, a red spot on my chest and dozens of other red spots all over my body. I'm now using six apricot seeds per day and two instead of four 3 oz. servings of WHEATGRASS each day. Many plus factors have been gained ... My hearing was about gone and it is now better than it has been for years. My Kidneys have completely cleared up, with the lemon water and herb drinks each day ... a quart per day ... my voice is stronger than when I was a kid ... recently I was out-of-state on the "Trial of the Stick of Joseph Lectures" and in three weeks time I had 18 'double-headers' in a row ... 3 hrs. each night and still had a voice left. The arthritis is getting much better ... 2 liquid fasts of 10 days each with FRESH and UNCOOKED VEGETABLES and FRUIT DIET in between the fasts have almost cleared it up. (See the book "There Is A Cure For Arthritis" by Dr. Paavo Aitola, M.D.) ... It's the WORD OF WISDOM pure and simple. The Lord said things so simply in the WORD OF WISDOM that we have underestimated what He was saying and l"Qisunderstood. I've got more lip and ling than I had at age 14! I'm down to the exact weight I was all through high school and college and have lost 60 Ibs. permanently."

B.

AS A KILLER, ALCOHOLISM ranks right behind #1. CIGARETTES; #2, HEART DISEASE and #3, CANCER 35-50 age bracket is most vulnerable ... (should be most productive age.)

C.

ALCOHOLISM IS A DISEASE THAT CAN'T BE CURED ... only arrested. "AA" has learned that 1 drink is too many and a million are not enough. 50% to 75% of ALCOHOLICS can be helped If they admit they have a problem and seek help.

The homes with the resultant juvenile delinquency is incalculable. 300 giant American many smaller companies have been forced to set up Alcoholic Discovery and Help

NOT TO LIVE THE WORD OF WISDOM ... THE COST IS TOO HIGH:

average Alcoholic Costs his company $1,500 to $4.000 per year, Is only 50% efficient. Is absent 22 days/year. Requires 4 times as much medical attention. Is 7 times as likely to have an auto accident. Lives 12 years less than the non-ALCOHOLIC. If fired or Quits, costs 'company $1,500 to $2,000 to train a replacement.

WHO IS THE STRONGEST? Sergeant opening cans of beer shouted at L.O.S. abstainers: "What's the matter aren't you babies strong enough to drink?" "Sure we are strong enough to drink, but we're also strong enough not to!" Wisdom-5 /

All 3 of the Negatives of the WORD OF WISDOM are habit-forming and they're BAD HABITS. DEVELOP GOOD HABITS, NOT BAD HABITS, because HABITS ARE CABLES. We weave a strand each day and soon they are too strong to break.

NICOTINE IS NOW (1973) RATED AS THE #1 KILLER IN THE U.S. "NICOTINE PROFILE" (See Reader's Digest, Sept. '73, Pg. 77) "NICOTINE ATT ACKS the lungs, heart and brain. It's the REAL #1 KILLER IN U.S.; ahead of #2 Heart Disease, #3 Cancer and #4 Alcoholism. Today the mortality from Cigarettes is 7 times the death toll from highway accidents ... and our highway fatalities surpass each 2 months our total loss of American lives in 12 yrs. of the Vietnam War. Nicotine has killed more people than all the great world epidemics of Typhoid, TB and Yellow Fever combined. And this is for known deaths caused by cigarette smoking. What about the unknown deaths? .. Cardia-vascular Disease for example is responsible for over' million fatalities each year in this country alone. According to Dr. Alton Ochner, Head of the famed Ochner Clinic of New Orleans, "The number of Cardio-vascular deaths actually caused by cigarette smoking, but unrecorded as such ... is shockingly high. And what about Cancer? The facts are that at least 7 KNOWN CANCER-PRODUCING AGENTS and 15 to 20 known TOXICANTS ARE GOING INTO THE MOUTHS OF 56 MILLION PEOPLE, AN AVERAGE OF 27 TIMES A DAY, including Hydrogen Cyanide, one of the DEADLIEST POISONS." The easiest way to break a habit is to drop It." 5 yr. old daughter to Dad: "It's easy to quit smoking. Just don't put it in your mouth."

NO HOT DRINKS (Verse 9) ... Both hot as to temperature

(past luke-warm)

When the WORD OF WISDOM Revelation was given, Tea and Coffee were the only hot drink being used, but if you virtually drink scalding hot soup or other food (past luke-warm) you are probably breaking the WORD OF WISDOM.

"The incidence of ULCERS, will be 72% higher if you drink coffee." Dr. Ralph S. Pattenberger, Calif .

1 Hour (minimum) EXERCISE. Begin easy ... 5 trips up and down a flight of stairs, lift a heavy garage door 5 times, or the equivalent. I gradually transitioned into 7 things during the I hr. exercise. Remember, there are dozens of rules for good health but NONE OF THEM WORK UNLESS YOU DO. A.

LEGS, FEET and TOES ... Lying in bed or on the floor, stretch legs and rotate the feet and wiggle the toes in circles ... 14 times clockwise and 14 times counter-clockwise.

B.

EYES. An eye specialist said to me: "If you'll followthese5 simpleeyeexercises twice each day and anytime in between when your eyes get tired and use the 5 simple safety rules, you'll never need glasses and your eyes will get stronger as you grow older." It works. I'm a great grandfather and have never used glasses. In the prone position. rotate eyes ... stretch ing eye muscles in ci roles 5 times clockwise and 5 times counter clockwise; then angle up and down in each direction to torm an "X" 5 times; then back and forth straight across 5 times. Squint in between each exercise. Finally, look straight up and straight down; (not at your nose, but at your toes ... ) 5 times. Do this at least every morning and night 5 simple safety rules: Never use eyes in poor light. Have a good light coming over the opposite shoulder to the hand you write with. Never look into bright lights or the sun Use a tennis visor with green underside when your're reading or writing. Finally, never let your eyes get tired or under any strain.

C.

HEAD and NECK (The key is 14) Head and neck roll: While sitting. roll the head 14 times in each direction. Make it hurt. Ear to shoulder, right and left 14 times each. Angle head and look at ceiling with lower lip over upper lip, up and down 14 times angled right and 14 times angled left, to avoid double chin sag. Follow all movements with eyes. Then finally look behind ... from left to right 14 times. Make it hurt on all these movements as you stretch the muscles.

D.

HEAD MASSAGE: In standing position bend overwith head nearthefloor and vigorously massage the head for 2 minutes, or better still, do a head stand 5 minutes night and morning. It really clears out the cobwebs and helps the hair. (My hair that I lost is coming back in.)

E.

DEEP BREATHING: Sitting with arms relaxed at side, bend body forward while exhaling until shoulders touch knees. then raising body while inhaling deeply. Fill lungs to capacity,lifting riband lung cage, 7 times with left nostril closed; 7 times WIth right nostril closed and 7 times with both nostrils open. Do it veryslowty both in and out.

F.

MINI-TRAMPOLINE WORKOUT: I'm now running and rope skipping "in place" the equivalent of 4 miles a day on a "Vitalizer" or "Sundancer" 3 ft. diameter and 8 inches high. It's great! Bounce back to better health. The body is weightless at the top of the bounce and 2 to 3 G'sat the bottom of the bounce and in between every muscle, blood vessel and vital organ is exercised. Write to L & L Enterprises, P.O. Box 33, Costa Mesa, CA 92626. (714) 641-1537 for information. Run 50 paces and walk 50 paces until 250 each, then rope skip without a rope throwing arms in circles backwards 250 times and then walk 100 paces to cool off; then repeat, throwing arms in circles forward 250 times and cool off with 100 walk paces. Deep breathe every time you walk. My heart goes to double speed and I get up a good sweat. Now clench fists tight against chest and while facing North or South, bounce up and down while repeating "Out go the toxins, in comes the lymph" 7 times, then step onto the floor and very briskly rub your right arm away from the heart 50 strokes and do same with left arm and both legs. This packs the body with electrical current and races the lymph fluids. Ask Dr. Corwin S. West, M.D .. Orem, UT about these ideas. His "National Self Help Clinics" are great!

G.

HOT and COLO SHOWER: I then have a hot and cold shower (no soap) and a rough towel and boar bristle brush rub until the skin is pink and tingles. Then drag soles of the feet over a rough bath mat 20 times each.

3.

"GREEN-POWER" DRINK: Wheatgrass Chlorophyll Drink ... min. 1 serving a day = Juice from 3 oz. of Wheatgreens diluted in glass of cold water. See section II para. 4E of these notes and also pages 240, 241, 292301 "Wheatgrass.,.

I cut down from 10 hours to 5 hours.

Wisdom.a

Section 89 Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Kirtland, Ohio, 27 February 1833 (see History of the Church, 1:327-29).
