Editor’s Note: We have all read astrological predictions & some swear by, and plan their lives around, them. Well, not only are the “stars” affecting you; “universal frequencies” (a/k/a “BioAcoustic Keynotes”), are too.

How do they work? Well, everything in your body, and what we put into it, has a numeric frequency (a Frequency Equivalent (TM), or FE, for short). The body is incredibly system-redundant, as shown by how 1 pressure point can address symptoms in different body parts & systems. So, 1 FE can correspond to a muscle & biochemical simultaneously, such as an inability to open a pickle jar tends to indicate a weak lower thumb muscle & also correlates to zinc. Presenting that 1 FE will improve the performance of both.

Light is also expressed as frequency. So when we discuss this, we can say the following: Universal Frequency/ BioAcoustic Key Note = a color = a Frequency Equivalent of a body part and/or biochemical/pathogen/ toxin. Right now, the Universal Frequency is represented by the note of D# and the color Orange-Yellow.

This means that we are in the second part of the color cycle (remember “R-O-Y-G-B-I-V). Astrologically, we are still in the Sign of Cancer. See how this affects YOU by reading below! We would love to hear how and whether anything in our weekly column resonates with how you feel during the week. If so, please leave a comment in the comments section below.

This week, we don’t have too many muscles being affected by the universal frequencies, with most being in the head and neck area. The major muscle affected this week is the cardiac (i.e., heart) muscle. Although the muscles this week are few in number, it is still always a good idea to give a little extra tender loving care to the affected muscles.

Muscles that are in stress this week:

Dilator of the Nose: a muscle in your nose responsible for holding the sinus passages open. When this muscle is low in tone, you may find yourself more prone to snoring.

 Triangularis a/k/a depressor anguli oris: is a mouth muscle that allows you to frown. Just because this muscle is more active this week does not mean you need to frown. The choice is still yours, rest assured. Source: Depressor anguli oris muscle

Cricoarytenoid Posterior:  is a muscle of the Larynx, but its roles is to open up your vocal cords. Just as many muscles in our bodies countervail or counterbalance others (think the biceps and triceps, for example), this muscle balances the action of the Lateral Cricoarytenoid muscles. Source: “Posterior cricoarytenoid muscle”

Cardiac Muscle: One of the most important muscles of the body is under pressure at the end of this week. If you are prone to heart problems or high blood pressure, this is a week to put off high-energy or stressful activities till next week, if possible.

Extensor Digitorum Minimi: is a forearm muscle on the same side as your ulna bone. It starts at the elbow and runs down to the wrist which runs through its corresponding  tendon down through the wrist and splits as it goes over the dorsal side of your hand and ends at the first part of your little finger.

Its function is to extend the wrist, i.e., it moves the back of your hand toward the back of your forearm. It can also extend or straighten out little finger outward. Source: “Extensor Digiti Minimi Muscle”

One vitamin, two minerals, a hormone, and a cell salt are part of our biochemical list below:

Vitamins, minerals and other biochemical affected this week:

Riboflavin: is one of your B-Vitamins.

It is considered an essential nutrient, and needs to be a part of your diet daily, and is important for energy production by assisting the body to convert carbohydrates to sugar, i.e., energy for the body.

It also serves to help the body to process fats and amino acids, and slows the process of aging due to its antioxidant qualities.

This nutrient can be gotten from dairy, brewer’s yeast, soybeans, liver, edamame, oysters, lean meats, broccoli, mushrooms, salmon, mackerel, herring, eel, and avocados, et al.

If you are deficient in this nutrient, you may have bloodshot or burning eyes, light sensitivity, dry lips, a sore tongue, oily hair or hair loss, brittle/split nails, loss of sleep, slow mental response, chronic fatigue syndrome or a sore tongue. Source: “Health Benefits of Vitamin B2 or Riboflavin”

Potassium: you know as a mineral and you probably hear about it being in some of your foods or listed on vitamin and mineral bottles. In fact, it is a mineral that is considered “crucial for life,” and particularly required for support of your and my heart, kidney and general organ health.

In theory, we should get enough Potassium from our diet, but it is believed that many Americans are deficient in it. If you are deficient, you may run the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer, stroke, arthritis, infertility and digestive disorders.

People who are at risk for low Potassium are those who use some kinds of birth control pills or diuretics, athletes, those in very physically active jobs, those with Crohn’s Disease, those with eating disorders, or those who are addicted to alcohol or cigarettes.

Some foods rich in Potassium are avocados, bananas, citrus, green and leafy veggies, potatoes and milk. Boiling and certain other types of cooking may destroy the potassium in some foods.

The Institute of Medicine suggests that individuals should take between 400 mgs. /day and 5,100 mgs. /day, as the following list suggests and with a full glass of water:

0-6 mos.: 400 mg. /day

7-12 mos.: 700 mg./day

1-3 years: 3,000 mg./day

4-8 years: 3,800 mg./day

9-13 years: 4,500 mg./day

14 years and up: 4,700 mg./day

Pregnant women: 4,700 mg./day

Breastfeeding women: 5,100 mg./day

Calcium phosphate: is a very common part of all of our body’s tissues – bones, teeth skin, and blood, et al.  It is said to make bones stronger, and to aid in building new blood cells. A lack of this cell salt can result in low body weight and slow growth, digestive issues, weakness and anemia.  Other things for which it can be useful is: “broken bones; cramps; spasms; numbness; cold feelings in the body and head; sluggish circulation; susceptibility to colds and mucous; spinal curvature; sore breasts; chronic tonsillitis; cracks in the skin and night sweats.”

Other things for which it is beneficial are “rheumatic pains that are exacerbated by cold and wind; nosebleeds; dental problems; morning sickness; palpitations; heart flutters; stiffness on rising in the morning; sensitive iliosacral joints; sensitive bones; and in convalescence.”

Our bodies need more of this particular cell salt than any other, in particular during childhood and when we have growth spurts, or after a broken bone.  In addition, ailments of the spine, like rickets, improper spinal curvature or tooth decay benefit from the use of this cell salt.

Supplementing with calcium is a big deal for us as we get older, and a lot of supplements are sold in order to prevent the onset of osteoporosis. Apparently, this cell salt adds calcium to your body and, as an extra added bonus, enhances digestive function in your stomach (via the gastric juice) to use your vitamins and minerals more effectively. Given these qualities and the importance of calcium to our bones, all bone diseases (such as rickets, rheumatism, and teething issues), this seems like quite a healthful and helpful cell salt.

Red and white blood cells are created in the bones. This cell salt is the main component of red and white blood cell corpuscles and is needed for blood proteins to bond together for such purposes as blood clotting.

It also has a role in helping us get to sleep because it calms and relaxes our muscles and body in general. It may be particularly helpful for those individuals who wake up at between 1:00 and 2:00 in the morning. Source: “2. Calcarea Phosphorica (Calc Phos) CELL RESTORER”

Calcium Fluoride a/k/a Calcarea Fluorica, Calcarea Fluor, Calc Fluor, Calc Fl, & Ca Fl: Calcium Fluoride is one of the 12 Homeopathic Cell Salts also termed Tissue Salts or Biochemic Salts.

Calcium Fluoride is a type of cell salt, labeled #1 under the famous Bioplasma cell salts, which include the 12 most commonly used Tissue or Biochemic Salts.

This particular cell salt aids in the strengthening of bones and teeth. In the case of our teeth, Calcium Fluoride functions by bonding calcium, which comes from our saliva, to the enamel of the teeth. Calcium Fluoride, itself, is an important mineral which is found in our bones, teeth, and skin.

In fact, Calcium Fluoride is said to be a safe form of fluoride. Calcium Fluoride, in its 6X form, reportedly may be used internally as well as gargled or “swished” around the mouth for a boost to oral health. Whereas, other types of fluoride may darken or “mottle” the teeth, Calcium Fluoride is said to not do so.

In addition, to reportedly helping with oral health, Calcium Fluoride may also be soothing to gums and meliorate dental pain, toothaches, and teething.

Calcium Fluoride is helpful for our connective tissues and blood vessels, as well. It reportedly strengthens capillaries as well as the elastic fibers inside of our skin, blood vessel walls, and connective tissue. This cell salt is considered necessary for good muscle tone, bone, tendon, and tissue strength

For these reasons, Calcium Fluoride is said to be useful for those with “varicose veins, anal fissures, fistulas; hemorrhoids, thickened and cracked skin.” It can also reportedly work for those tight muscles, tendons, hardened tumors or arteries.

Calcium Fluoride also has some reported psychological benefits such as for those times when we have difficulty with making choices

Because it works with the blood vessels, it is said to be able to improve circulation and is considered a natural expectorant for coughs and colds, excess mucous (particularly green mucous, as well as swollen glands.

Methylsulfonylmethane a/k/a MSM: is, among other things, a great source of sulfur, a substance used in many parts of our body.  MSM ends up helping to raise our energy levels, helps us to address allergies and asthma, arthritis (including rheumatoid and osteoarthritis), increasing joint flexibility, circulation and cell vitality, reducing pain and swelling, facilitating cell detoxification, and in increasing the healthiness of skin, nails and hair. Source: “5 Important ways MSM Could Benefit Your Health”

Cannibinol a/k/a CBN: is the biochemical that results after the active ingredient, Tetrahydrocannabinol (i.e., THC) breaks down into when exposed over time heat and oxygen. As opposed to THC, which gives people the high of marijuana, CBN becomes only mildly psychoactive, but is still said to be strong enough to help someone get to sleep. CBN reportedly also may be helpful to slow bacterial growth; relieve pain; reduce nausea and vomiting, seizures, systemic inflammation; inhibit cancer cell growth; stimulate our bodies’ osteocytes to promote bone growth, et al. However, CBN may cause disruption to the functionality of immune cells. Source: “Cannabinoid Profile”

Some popular medications, one an antibiotic and the other a muscle relaxer show up next in our medicine section.

Medicines affected this week:

Zithromax a/k/a Azithromycin: is a popular antibiotic which fights bacteria which lead to respiratory, skin, and ear infections, as well as sexually transmitted diseases. Source: “Zithromax” http://www.drugs.com/zithromax.html

Flexeril a/k/a Cyclobenzaprine: is a popular type of muscle relaxant. It functions by blocking the nerve pulses (i.e., pain sensations) that are sent from the body to the brain. Along with physical therapy and rest, this is seen as the best way to treat pain from skeletal muscle injuries or conditions.

This medication reportedly should no be used if someone is on an MAO inhibitor, like isocarboxazid (Marplan), tranylcypromine (Parnate), phenelzine (Nardil), or selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam) within the past 14 days, as that can cause serious or even life-threatening side effects. Recent heart attack victims, and those with heart rhythm disorders, heart block, overactive thyroid, or congestive heart failure should not take it.

Side effects may be impaired physical reaction or thinking, and thus may cause issues for those driving or work requiring alertness. Drinking alcohol with this medicine can worsen the side effects. Source: “What is Flexeril?”

Pathogens that are active this week:

Human Papilloma Virus: The HPV strains number 60 & 65 are active this week.

Alpha Streptococcus a/k/a Streptococcus Pyogenes: is a pathogen that can cause pharyngitis, or “strep throat” and less often the skin condition Impetigo. This condition seems to manifest mostly in children ages 5 to 15 years.  Source: “BACTERIOLOGY – CHAPTER TWELVE  Streptococci  GROUPS A, B, d AND OTHERS enterococcus faecalis “

A popular flavor enhancer, a source of food poisoning and a common additive in many vaccines are featured in our list of active toxins this week.

Toxins that are active this week:

Monosodium Glutamate a/k/a MSG a/k/a Sodium Glutamate: is a popular food additive which causes some individuals to become allergic or sensitive.

MSG is the  sodium salt of glutamic acid, one of the most naturally plentiful non-essential amino acids. It is found in such foods, naturally, potatoes, tomatoes, Parmesan cheese,  mushrooms, as well as other vegetables and fruits.

MSG functions as a flavor enhancer in the food industries. It has a so-called umami taste. Umami is one of those types of taste quality that have been added, years after we all learned that the only tastes out there were sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. This umami taste quality is said to make the savory and meaty flavor of foods seem more intense.

A Japanese biochemist, named Kikunae Ikeda came up with this flavoring over a 100 years ago when he tried to figure out the nature of, and duplicate, the taste of an edible seaweed he liked, called Kombu. This seaweed has been used as a basis for many Japanese soups.

The individual ingredients, sodium and glutamate seem to have been used in cheese production as many as 7,500 years ago.

Monosodium Glutamate is considered as safe by the FDA, but many individuals complain of it causing such symptoms as headaches and a racing heartbeat, asthma, or even weight gain, et al.

You may find MSG on food labels under any of the following names:

Monosodium glutamate or sodium glutamate

Sodium 2-aminopentanedioate

Glutamic acid, monosodium salt, monohydrate

L-Glutamic acid, monosodium salt, monohydrate

L-Monosodium glutamate monohydrate

Monosodium L-glutamate monohydrate

MSG monohydrate

Sodium glutamate monohydrate

It can also be found under the following trade names:

Accent, produced by B&G Foods Inc., Parsippany, New Jersey, US[Manuf. 12][Manuf. 13]

Ajinomoto, produced by Ajinomoto, 26 countries, head office Japan[Manuf. 14][Manuf. 15]

Domoic acid: is a type of neurotoxin which causes something called amnesic shellfish poisoning, or ASP, for short. This type of toxin actually is made by algae and builds up in the bodies of sardines, shellfish, and anchovies. Other creatures, like otters, sea lions, cetaceans, and humans then eat contaminated  those fish and poisoning may result

When exposed to this toxin, the brain can be effected, resulting in seizures, and could cause death.

Fortunately, very few poisonings have been documented, with 3 people having died in Canada, on Prince Edward Island in 1987, and 2 incidents in which there were bird attacks upon people in 1961 and 20016, in California.

Research into the effects of domoic acid on the brain has shown that it is very similar to the amino acid, glutamate, and because it can attach to glutamate receptors in the brain, it can function to overexcite the brain and also damages the hippocampus and amygdaloid nucleus parts of the brain. It also causes a degeneration of cells. This would show up as short-term memory loss. Lastly, it can cause kidney damage even at levels far below the amounts allowed by the FDA. Source: “Domoic Acid”

Aluminum Hydroxide: is a type of aluminum which is considered a so-called “vaccine adjuvants.” A vaccine adjuvant is an ingredient added to a vaccine reportedly in order to heighten the body’s immune response to a vaccine. Supposedly, this makes vaccines work better by increasing the immune response to the proteins of pathogens against which the vaccine is supposed to equip your body to fight. In this way, it is said to make the immune response strong enough to protect you from the germ you are being vaccinated against. The CDC and FDA are tasked with continuously monitoring the safety of these adjuvants.

The safety and efficacy of vaccines have certainly become debatable particularly after a CDC whistleblower’s revelations about the MMR vaccine and the dangers of mercury in vaccines, as well as movies like Bought and Vaxxed. The National Vaccine Information Center has certainly equipped us with a great deal of information about vaccines for years. And the Institute of BioAcoustic Biology and Soundhealth has, for years, prepared for the public’s information and benefit, the softwares Countervailing the Season and PreVac. The former software is published annually with the latest CDC-issued flu viruses decoded with explanations of how each flu strain or vaccine might affect your body. The PreVac Software helps you to anticipate how a vaccine might affect you before you take it. The Institute has found that the vaccine strains impact certain muscles in particular and, of greater importance, affects the fertility hormones and biochemical of men and women.

It is no secret that nearly every, if not every, vaccine-making pharmaceutical company has been sued and found liable for causing infertility in certain populations. It is interesting to note that vaccines are reaching the human being’s ability to procreate and sustain itself through the Math Matrix ™ and causing biological changes within our bodies, in a kind of insidious eugenic nightmare.

Aluminum, in one form or another, has been used in vaccines since the 1930s, when it was initially used in cases of diphtheria and tetanus. Aluminum is one of the most common metals in nature and is in our air, food and water. Allegedly, the amount of aluminum in vaccines is very low.

Not all vaccines contain adjuvants. You will find it in such vaccines as those for  “hepatitis A, hepatitis B, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTaP, Tdap), Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), human papillomavirus (HPV) and pneumococcus infection.”

Vaccines in the United States for “measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, rotavirus, polio, and seasonal influenza vaccines” reportedly do not contain any adjuvants. Source: “Vaccine Adjuvants”

And now, without further ado, here is the 13^th Mini-Lesson:

Mini-Lesson in BioAcoustic Biology and Soundhealth:

This section seeks to introduce our readers to different terms and concepts in this exciting field of integrative/alternative medicine. This week, we are beginning a several part series, looking at BioAcoustic Soundhealth and nutrition. We will be including, in this group of mini-lessons, a discussion of our Nutrition Profiler, Nanovoice and Abacus softwares.

A BioAcoustic Soundhealth Look at Food

You have probably heard the expression, “Do we eat to live, or live to eat.” Gourmets, gourmands, foodies, and others have debated this question and will likely debate it for many years to come. I trust that this series of mini-lessons will cast the debate in a different light. It will challenge what we know and think we know about food and our relationship with it. By the time we are through, I hope that you will have a greater understanding and appreciation for the discoveries already made, and to be made, in the field of BioAcoustic Soundhealth. We may yet make discoveries that will be monumental. What if we could figure out how to replicate food like they do in Star Trek and so many questions in the realms of science fiction and science fact?

Food: Why Do We Want It and Why do We Need It?

This last month, we celebrated Father’s Day. I hope that all of you father’s out there had a wonderful time with family, and that the coming year brings you all that you wish and hope for. That holiday, and many of our holiday celebrations, typically include great meals, or feasts. Great meals are also an important part of other aspects of our lives and various cultures.

For one example, let’s look to how extravagant dinners play a role in many of our great adventures, from The Odyssey to Game of Thrones. In these tales, the heroes come out of great struggles, or battles, to take part in a great feast,  a time of celebration of battle prowess, triumph over enemies, and togetherness. As another example, we need look no further than the way in which most, if not all, cultures commemorate harvest time with special meals, celebrating the cornucopia of foods that the Earth has offered up in answer to the daily efforts of our farmers in the spring and summer months.

One of my favorite types of restaurant is a buffet restaurant. There is something very special about it. Maybe this comes from periods in my life when my birth family and I had certain financial struggles. Our meals were always a special time during which we got out of the house, away from chores, homework, etc. and had a chance to genuinely enjoy one another’s company with undivided attention – talking about our day, laughing at the different jokes we made (I happen to think that my family was always hilarious, but I guess I am somewhat subjective), and I would always try to remember to appreciate these times and to take a mental snapshot of that one moment in time. I still do that to this day.

Any time in which my mom, dad, and brothers I had the blessing of going out to a restaurant-type meal, it was a very special occasion. My three (3) brothers and I would get very excited each time in anticipation. Sometimes, during the outings we could not stop laughing. My mom and dad thought that we were reacting to the sugar in the soda pop we ordered with our dinners, but I think that these feelings flowed out of us due to the percolating joy we had spending time with each other and doing something that we rarely had the chance to do. Those meals tasted extra good and the desserts we had were extra sweet.

Since I like food so much, I am fortunate to have a pretty good body constitution so my love for food has not given me a weight problem or other health issues. I like to think that I balance good eating with good activities and habits which help me to maintain my health.

I would like to talk about what food really means to us and how it functions in our lives. As suggested above, from my own experience, there are many benefits to food, the emotional aspect of family togetherness and security. Restaurants also provide us with an opportunity to try new things – new types of food – which we might not otherwise sample. We are fortunate in America and elsewhere to have a wide selection of delicacies from which to choose; foods from many different countries, each with a chance to savor and appreciate new tastes. This allows us to have a less parochial palate as we begin to  choose the types of foods we will typically eat for the rest of our lives.

Aside from the appeal of the taste and variety of foods around us, we are told by literally everyone that we have a physical need to ingest sufficient calories and nutrients from which to maintain good health. This is part of our so-called “biological imperative,” it is a basic tenet of our biology classes, and the subject of many commercials in print and on television. Moreover, food trade keeps supermarkets and other stores in business.

Food is not always fun, however, as some of us have actual eating disorders (which I am told has nothing to do with eating dessert before dinner, or breakfast for dinner), tending to eat too much or too little. These psychological conditions may be traced back to, among other things, childhood experiences in which there was not enough love or nurturance, or the ill-chosen words of loved ones which create a negative body image or self-esteem early in life.

Our processed foods also can wreak their own havoc on our bodies and minds: extra chemicals we don’t need, unhealthy fats, excess processed sugar or salt, GMO Foods, and thousands of food additives which are not even regulated by the government, et al.

Each and every biochemical, which enters our bodies has the ability to influence us for good or ill. One way in which they can affect us is in our body weight. The Institute of BioAcoustic Biology agrees with Dr. Oz and others who contend that much of our reasons for overweight or underweight conditions has more to do with biochemistry than willpower, or what and how we eat.

The Institute has found that some of the factors which affect our weight biochemically are, among other things: 1. Stress (specifically how the stress chemical, Cortisone, is affecting you; 2. Your level of a biochemical called Ghrelin, the so-called “Hunger Hormone,” which causes you to crave food – the more of it you have in your system, the hungrier you become; 3. Your level of Adiponectin – a hormone which tells your body to burn fat for fuel – those with more of it tend to have lower weight levels and those with less of it have higher weight levels; and 4. Insulin Resistance, which has to do with how your body handles sugar intake.

Cravings can also come from a need for certain hormones or biochemical, meaning you are not craving the food for itself, but rather for a particular nutrient or hormone it may provide. A craving for wheat is actually a craving for phosphatidylserine, for example. Sometimes a perceived moment of hunger may actually be a sign of dehydration – a need for water. I annoy my family with this notion quite a lot. Requests for food outside of normal meal times, or an appropriate snack time, will prompt me to ask: “have you had any water lately?”

Thanks to the Institute of BioAcoustic Soundhealth, we know that a compulsive need to chew may actually be the body’s way of communicating a need for the hormone, Dopamine, as that is the same Frequency Equivalent ™ as one of our jaw muscles, and the act of chewing stimulates that muscle, raises the Frequency Equivalent of that muscle, and consequently that of Dopamine, which tends to calm you down.

While not all of us have any traumas or a biochemical need to eat, we seem to all enjoy so-called “comfort foods” once in a while. Food has a flavor, a texture, an energy that can be quite fulfilling.

Lastly, we should not forget that sometimes we eat food simply because we see it advertised on television. Commercials have behind them a team of researchers and marketers who know which words and images will appeal to the typical television or print media viewer. This is why kids eat all of those scary, colorful candies, why adults eat at certain restaurants more than others, and why we all eat more processed foods than we should.

But do we really need to eat?

We have taken stock of some of the emotional reasons why we eat, and we have been told how important it is to eat for proper nutrition. Nonetheless, like me, you have likely witnessed some hunger strikes in which certain individuals have sworn off food (but not water) for a period of time in order to make a philosophical or political point. The iconic figure, Cesar Chavez, made this particular sacrifice on more than one occasion in order to bring attention to the plight of the farm workers in California and elsewhere. Mahatma Gandhi also famously used hunger strikes to bring attention to certain issues. Prisoners in Guantanamo Bay also have gone on hunger strikes in order to protest their conditions of confinement long after our current president promised to close the facility.

Some hunger strikes have gone on for months, with a loss of weight and concomitant weakness to the individual, but for the most part each individual has been able to bounce back to a hearty state of health.

Some of us forego food for other, perhaps more mundane, reasons. Plenty of us have engaged in “fasts,” in which the fasting individual picks a period of time in which to swear off of some, or all, food. I think it is fair to say that fasting has slowly become more and more popular over the years. This is done for health reasons in order to detoxify the bodies or to give the digestive system a rest, etc. Other individuals may choose to swear off of certain foods – sugary foods, fatty foods, foods with gluten, meat, et al – as a philosophical or a health choice. Aside from a need to include certain foods to substitute for certain omitted items (such as protein for a vegan), these individuals have been able to maintain the same level of health with these changes.

So, while you and I are aware that some have chosen to not eat food for limited periods of time and others have omitted certain foods from their diets, I imagine that you, like me, have never imagined that someone might make not eating a way of life.

Yet, at least two (2) men have done just that…

According to a June, 2013 article, then 82-year old Prahlad Jani had allegedly lived for as many as seventy (70) years with neither food nor water. He is considered by some a “breatharian,” living on spiritual life force alone. He credits his sustenance to a Goddess having poured a special elixir through his palate.

Others in his village had dismissed him as a fraud. Eventually, the Indian Government decided to put Mr. Jani’s claims to the test. He agreed to be held in hospital isolation in the town of Ahemdabad, Gujrat, in India. In this facility, he was monitored constantly by the defense research organization of India. This is the same entity that makes missiles and drone planes, and other armaments.

Why would a defense organization be interested in a man that supposedly does not need to eat or drink? Reportedly, they had hoped to find his “secret” so that soldiers or  disaster victims might survive, under conditions of deprivation, until help or supplies were to arrive.

Not only would this be of benefit to individuals in crisis situations; it could have farther ramifications for everyone.

The director at the Defence Institute of Physiology & Allied Sciences, Dr. G. Ilavazhagan, stated that, “if the claims made by this man were verified, it will be a breakthrough in medical science as they’ll then be able to teach people to live longer and survive situations of adversity during natural disasters, high altitude, sea journeys and other natural and human extremities, where there is little or no food and water.”

Mr. Prahlad was observed for six (6) days in the facility. He did not eat or drink for all of that time. Nor did he go to the bathroom. You are probably reacting to this news as I did: I would be a mess, with no energy, and in a great deal of pain, or dead. We have probably all been told that the human body cannot live without water for more than about 72 hours. And, we are also told that if we do not go to the bathroom, particularly number 2, we can die of sepsis – a condition in which the body is so toxic it can no longer survive.

Yet, this individual, upon testing, stayed fit, showed no signs of fatigue, with no wasting of muscles, no serious dehydration, no weight loss, and no organ failure.

Another doctor, Dr. Sudhir Shah, had examined Mr. Prahlad ten (10) years earlier. At that time, he concluded that this man had apparently “reabsorbed” his urine after it had been produced in his bladder. This seemed to be the only explanation since this individual did not eat for ten (10) days. During this examination, the doctor also noted that Mr. Prahlad’s weight only fell slightly. Source: “A Man Who Survived Without Food And Water For 70 Years!!”

Certainly we have heard of individuals lost at sea imbibing their own urine in order to avoid dehydration.  Yet, I have never heard of anyone’s body reabsorbing his own urine.

It seems another team studied this man’s amazing ability in 2010, this time for fifteen (15) days. Again he did not eat or drink during the time. Nor did he go to the toilet. An Indian man has mystified a team of military doctors after he abstained from food and water for two weeks. Source: “Indian man survives without food and water, baffles doctors”

Next week, we will learn about another individual who has survived without food for decades and begin to introduce BioAcoustic Soundhealth perspectives into this important subject. We will also talk about what kind of implications this may have for our health, nutrition, form and function in the future.

I cannot wait to share more with you next week. In the meantime, may every meal be a good one, and as one of my favorite singer-s0ngwriters, Warren Zevon, wisely told us, “Enjoy every sandwich.”
