FDR Vol 1 & 2

The “7″ principles of health are the “science of life“.  The science of life is more powerful than all of the weapons of war, more powerful than the tyranny in all of its forms of life-negation.  For this cause, the FDR never talks of fighting disease, nor waging war on bacteria, the FDR is not anti and has  no mention of antioxidants, antibiotics (against life), no anti-acids, no antivirals, antibacterial, antiseptics, antifungal, antispasmotics, antihistamines, antigens, antidiuretics, anticoagulants, anticonvulsants, antibodies, (ad nauseum).  The FDR’s call is to bring an end to the terrorism of war, all wars, especially on disease.  Isn’t it abundantly clear to any truly thinking individual we have miserably lost that war?  That we only made the so-called enemy stronger?  Let’s drop the weapons of war and marketing “mystery” of the war.  Instead of calling the powerful nutrient activity of whole food pigments-antioxidants, why can’t we simply say:

1. “Red food for the Latin lycopene?”
2. “Orange food instead of carotene?”
3. “Yellow foods instead of xanthocyanine?”
4. “Green foods instead of lutein?”
5. “Blue, indigo and violet foods instead of anthocyanins?”

After all, we speak English, not Old Latin.

The FDR is meant to simplify; for this cause, we use common words when applicable.  We have used medical Latin to reference disease symptoms, just because most people would look, for instance, at aneurysm because of their doctor instead of “ballooned tube“.  Although ballooned tube is what aneurysm means.

Man is helpless when he lacks knowledge; helplessness due to ignorance is the fertilizer of cartels, of dictator-ships, of turning one’s body over to the “Experts“.

Self-care is not easy for some.  It’s easier to sell one’s independence for security than it is to lead a responsible independent existence and to be master of oneself.  To learn, to intuit, to trust in the cosmic nature of intelligence that resides in all 76 trillion cells of one’s body.  It is tough in the face of multimillion-dollar ad campaigns, as well as bought-and-paid-for curriculums of formal education.  The slanted, directed, edited and paid-for mass media editorials of TV, newspapers and magazines.

Excerpt from Don Tolman’s Volume #3 FDR pp 138

History:  The Letter G

It’s one of only four letters in the English alphabet which did not reach its full development two thousand years ago.  If you’re reading this note sheet much after the year 1990, add accordingly to the “2000 years ago” reference.  The other letters are “J”, “U”, “W”, and “G” shares development with “C”, as mentioned on another note sheet.  Both share their shapes to that of the Phoenician’s original symbol for the camel.  Robert Louis Stevenson wrote that when he was a child, the capital “G” always impressed him as genii swooping down to drink out of a handsome cup.  I wasn’t familiar with his use of “genii” so I looked it up.  He was probably referring to angels.  I would like for you to think of your guardian angel, for “quality of life”, as the FDR. (oh by the way, there are 6 “F”s in the exercise under “F”).

Mystery:  The Celtic Name Letter Key

Movement is the essential concept contained in the Letter “G”.  It indicates a restlessness of mind and body, dissatisfaction with settled situations.  This will be nagging constantly at the name-bearer, causing thoughts of a new job or new partner to be lurking in the end.  As a dominant letter, “G” clearly indicates someone who would be happiest traveling about and a job that involves mobility would be satisfying.  In human relationships, the name-bearer may find it difficult to remain faithful to one person.  More positively, this letter also hints at speed of thought and action.

History:  The Letter F

Long ago, “F” was actually “digamma” which had a “W” sound.  This was prior to the Latin “F”, which was drawn much as “F” is today.  Originally, “F” was a portrayal of a hook as in fishing, probably around 1300 B.C.  Historically, “F” was drawn to show a sound of “PH”; hence our current words beginning with “PH” and which command pronunciation as “F”.  don’t hold your lungs.  “F” stands for “fathom”, which is a standard unit two yards long.  Common among ship captains, a fathom shows how far down a particular point is.  “F” is usually as common in words or copywriting a s lot of alpha-symbols.  This paragraph is unusual and hard to fathom for it contains many “F”s.  In fact, if you look, a highly common alpha-symbol is missing.  Don’t miss reading Wisdom’s Symptoms.  Also do this:  How many “F”s are in this next sentence?

Finished files are the result of years of scientific study combined with the experience of years.  (Most count three)

Mystery:  The Celtic Name Key

“F” contains an indication of violence – perhaps a deep-rooted but strongly suppressed wish to be involved in violent action.  It hints at a sadistic streak, which may nevertheless, be kept tightly under control.  Here, too, are the signs of contempt for rules and regulations, and willingness on occasion to go beyond the law.  As a dominant letter, “F” is dangerous, but it can virtually be cancelled out by other personality factors.  Coupled with ambition, however, it can lead to ruthlessness.  Uncontrolled, the name-bearer will be given to violent changes of mood and sudden rages.

History:  The Letter E

It is the most frequently used letter in the English alphabet.  In fact, the most frequently used letter in the previous sentence.  And that sentence.  But in the one just before this one, the letter “T” was used most frequently.  During World War II, an American flag bearing the letter “E” was presented to army and navy contractors who met or surpassed production schedules.  The “E” stood for “Excellence”.  This is contrary to baseball’s use of the letter “E”, which stands for “error”.  While some errors are worse than others, the absolute worst occurred in the summer of 1931 when Joe Sprinz of the Cleveland Indians tried to catch a ball dropped from an airplane at 800 feet.  The ball was caught but his jaw was broken.  He obviously didn’t respect (m)V = M or E = MC2.  But the whole foods mentioned in the FDR will give you lots of Energy!

Mystery:  The Celtic Letter Key

The letter “E” is a symbol of recovery, showing the ability to get back to normal after physical or emotional setbacks.  An essential characteristic in most people’s name-prints, it includes a certain amount of optimism.  When things are going well, the letter indicates that the name-bearer will be looking ahead and making plans for improvements.  The negative side of the letter can be summed up by the word muteness.  This is a tendency to let others have (their) say, but not to speak about one’s own views.  Nevertheless, as a dominant letter, it shows someone who will be able to cope resolutely with the ups and downs of life.

History:  The Letter D

First drawn to resemble the door of a tent, “D” was written as a simple triangle.  The Roman influence once again inflicted a curved stroke and the contemporary character was created.  No one knows exactly why the lowercase figure developed opposite to the capital figure, as it would make very good sense for the lowercase “d” to have its straight side on the left to match its counterpart capital.  Scribes are probably to blame for this since it was their contribution to the development of the alphabet to create small letters with more rounded forms making scribing an easier job.  Roman stonecutters, by the way, were responsible for creating “serifs” which seemed to finish off their work,  and probably covered up a few mistakes.  While everyone is bound to make a few mistakes, everyone who helped type the FDR tried not to.

Mystery:  The Celtic Letter Key

The letter is a rather negative symbol, a closed door, which must be fought against by the name-bearer, particularly if it is the dominant letter.  It indicates a tendency to give in and not fight for survival.  It is the letter of laziness, also of small-mindedness.  More positively, the letter is associated with travel, but even this may be a metaphoric kind of traveling, a flight of fancy that represents an attempt to escape from problems.  Other elements in the name-print will be able to overcome the influence of this letter, but the name-bearer should guard against apathy and indifference.  Learn to open the door!

History:  The Letter C

Camels are partially responsible for the “C”.  The Phoenician alphabet depicted a camel with a simple letterform consisting of an upward stroke angled to the left suggesting the camel’s long neck.  The Greeks changed this form slightly and adapted the name “Gamma” from the Phoenician name “Gimel”, which means camel.  The Romans gave the letter its curved shape, and sometime around the year 300, began adding a horizontal bar when the letter was to convey a “G” sound.  Thus, the letter “G” was born, but that’s a whole different note sheet.  It is interesting to note that camels are cud-chewing animals.  Once this is noted, you should also know that cud is a mouthful of previously swallowed food, which is regurgitated from the stomach to be chewed a second time.  Fortunately, most humans don’t do this but be careful because there are some undiscriminating people who regularly follow this ritual with “pill and capsule hype”.

Mystery:  The Celtic Name Letter Key

“C” is a sign of steadiness and consistency, both in terms of physical effort that can be applied and emotional commitment that can be made.  This letter indicates a good employee, who eventually settles in one job for many years.  More importantly, perhaps, it reveals a steadiness and lack of change in emotional relationships.  This positive reliability is counter-balanced to some extent by a certain dullness and lack of imagination.

History:  The Letter B

The earliest drawn “B” was actually a symbol representing the word “house”, basically a triangle placed above a square.  Eventually, the square took on the look of a second triangle and, finally, the right side of the form was softened by two curves.  As you can see, it no longer resembles a house and this probably suits architects just fine.  “Experts” say that vitamin B is abundant in dead animal liver; I say, throw the liver in the garbage and fix some whole grains, which have useable vitamin B, with onions and garlic and a touch of tarragon.  The FDR has more “B’s” than you can shake a stick at!

Mystery:  The Celtic Name Key

The letter “B” indicates the ability to compromise.  It reveals a faculty for accepting a majority view and abiding by a general decision.  In a positive sense, the letter indicates maturity and tact.  It has a negative side, which could be interpreted as a lack of will power or determination.  As a dominant letter, it hints very clearly at a good team member, but not a leader.  The letter is also connected with domesticity.

Don’t just take Don’s word for it:  According to the author of “Potatoes Not Prozac“  book and Seven-Step Dietary Plan…

“The same brain chemicals that are altered by antidepressant drugs are also affected by the foods we eat. According to addiction expert DesMaisons, many people, including those who are depressed, are “sugar sensitive.” Eating sweets gives them a temporary emotional boost, which leads to a craving for still more sweets. The best way to keep these brain chemicals in the right balance and keep blood-sugar levels steady, she says, is through the dietary plan she describes in Potatoes Not Prozac. Her rules are fairly simple–eat three meals a day, eat proteins with every meal (especially those high in the amino acid tryptophan, which creates the calming neurotransmitter serotonin), and eat more complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains and, yes, potatoes. Not only will this make you less depressed, DesMaisons says, but it will also keep you from craving too much of the foods you shouldn’t eat, making it a self-regulating system.”

Stopping smoking is the single most important thing you can do to reduce your risk for many diseases.

And you can do it!

Arm Yourself with These Two Secret Weapons:

1. Know that you’re in for a rough ride for a month or two – but that the rest of your life will be much better when you get past the dragon tantrums.  You won’t have to spend the rest of your life fighting cravings.  You’ll just have to do it for a few weeks, until your brain chemistry normalizes.  Once you reach that point, you’ll have more energy, you’ll feel better, your sense of taste and smell will be better, you’ll have more money in your pocket and you’ll be at a much lower risk for many diseases.  It’s worth the effort.  It takes only a few weeks of misery and commitment.  You can do it.
2. Know that the dragon won’t be dead.  He’ll only be sleeping.  You can awaken him with full force at any time by smoking another cigarette or consuming nicotine of any kind – even nicotine gum.  Then, when he’s awake, you’ll have to spend another month or more putting him back to sleep.  It’s a lot easier not to wake him up!  Ever again.

Slay the smoking dragon

THE DRAGON SLAYERS:

What others have said:

“The key issue for me was knowing that the obsession would go dormant in a few weeks, if I just waited it out.  The first time I tried to quit, I didn’t know that.  When I still had cravings after three weeks, I said, ‘the heck with it’, and lit up.  This time I knew that it was just a matter of time.  That made all the difference – knowing what that time was and holding on ’til it was past.”

“I needed to know that the cravings wouldn’t last forever.  I can be tough for a month – but I couldn’t live with that obsession hitting me every day for the rest of my life.  That’s why I always failed before when I tried to quit.  Knowing that there was a limited time to suffer gave me the strength to win.”

“I tried every program there was.  I went through classes, used nicotine gum and even tried hypnosis.  What finally worked was my strong commitment and a desire for good health.”

Think about it like this:

When you smoke, it’s very much  like you have a ravenous dragon living inside your head.  When you feed him nicotine, he says, “That was good!  Do it again!”  And you obey, because when you don’t feed him, he messes around in your mind and makes his hunger become your obsession.

You can’t kill the dragon of nicotine addiction – but you can put it to sleep.

The dragon of nicotine addiction

The good news:

What most people know is that if you don’t feed the dragon for a month or so, he will go to sleep – and you will be freed from the power of his gluttonous appetite.

Sound fanciful?  It’s actually pretty accurate.  You just need to  understand the biological process.

What’s really happening is a change in your brain chemistry.  Nicotine triggers a variety of chemicals, which in turn trigger a genetically programmed “pleasure” message:  “Do it again”, the brain program says.  “Again!  Do it again!  Now!”  That message is very persuasive, as you know.

Unfortunately, nicotine is an addictive, destructive drug.  What’s more, tobacco smoke contains more than 4,000 substances, including arsenic, butane and formaldehyde.  Together, they cause heart disease, many cancers, emphysema and a host of other terrible, deadly illnesses.  Plus, cigarettes are expensive.  But you already know all of that.  You smoke anyway.  The problem is that the dragon is so darned insistent.  You need to learn how to put him to sleep.

Let’s be honest.  Quitting is hard initially.  The powerful dragon doesn’t go to sleep without a fight.  He screams at you to light up again.  He gives you headaches, if you don’t.  But the most important fact to know is:  He only keeps it up for a limited time!  The dragon’s energy is limited!  It runs out – and fairly soon.  After a few weeks of hollering and sulking, he stops his tantrums, slinks away, quiets down and goes to sleep.  The trick for you is to outlast him – to starve him until he sleeps.

Stopping smoking is the single most important thing you can do to reduce your risk for many diseases.

And you can do it.
