"Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought"
-Albert Szent-Gyorgi

Our minds, once stretched to accept a new truth or possibility, are forever changed in an instant. A particular incident that I witnessed many years ago had such an effect on me.
My name is William Clark and I am a research scientist with a background in electrical engineering. During the 1970's I was involved with a project at a Hydro-Electric Research/Test facility. We were creating lightning in a controlled environment, and using that lightning for various tests.
|
While working on a transformer one day during this time, I happened to notice low 'T' range ions (electricity) misbehaving. I saw the lightning that we were creating hit a console within the test room, and observed the electricity as it flashed across the surface.
The moment I saw this I realized an absolute involving the dynamics of human behavior!
That day gave me a new way of looking at, and understanding, why certain people displayed certain behaviors, while others did not. It helped me understand myself, and everyone around me.
This was my first insight into what I now call the “Axiom Principle” - the Logic of Force in Cell-to-Cell Communication that affects every one of us!
|
It was some years later before I was able to put mathematical parameters around this theory, but I did, and I looked at it from all angles, hit it with a hammer – metaphorically speaking, of course! – and found it didn't break. I now had the ability to look at all human behaviors, and how they were affected both biologically and psychologically by the electrical behavior – and misbehavior – taking place within them.
I have spent the last several years extensively researching this process, and its effect on every one of us based on the scientific gateway of the "Axiom Principle" – the Logic of Force in Cell-to-Cell Communication.
To give you a better understanding of how this process works in all of us psychologically, and its effect on us biologically, I’ll start by explaining it this way…
Sitting in the Classroom
| When you and I were sitting in the classroom, and the teacher was writing 'one plus one' on the blackboard, we sat there staring at this new information, and maybe looked around the room to see if anyone else was getting it. Then the teacher went on to explain... |
|
 |
 |
|
"… a table and a chair: that’s two"
“… a banana and an apple: that’s two”
“… a cup and a saucer: that’s two”
As we sat there thinking about this, and moving the new information around on the 'awareness' side of our brain…
|
|
We started to realize...
…It didn’t matter what the objects were: if there were two 'ones' of anything, it equaled two. As soon as we agreed to this on the 'awareness' side of our brain that 'one plus one is two', tiny electrical particles grabbed the information in a specific pattern and formation.
|
|
 |
 |
|
This pattern of particles was then launched back into a brain cell at a speed of 180 mph and 'one plus one is two' was written into the cell with calcium.
From that day on 'one plus one' is always 'two'.
|
|
If I was to show up at your death bed and ask you what 'one plus one' is, the answer would still be the same. From the moment we learned 'one plus one' until the day we die, the same brain cell holds onto this information - the brain cell is simply rebuilt by our DNA.
When you think of the process that took place when we learned 'one plus one' think of it this way…
|
|
 |
 |
|
Electricity in our brain is the pencil, and calcium is the lead used by the pencil to write information down into our brain cells, which are the paper.
Simply put, our brain is essentially a piece of paper and a pencil!
How can something as fundamentally basic as our brain cause us so many problems?
|
|
"It is estimated that approximately 450 million people worldwide have a mental health problem."
World Health Organization (2001)
In prisons and correctional institutions the system is trying to get the 'bad guys' to flip the pencils in their brains over, rub out 'bad behavior' and write down 'good behaviour'...
But it’s not working...
|
|
 |
 |
|
In Mental Health arenas they are trying to get people who have sad, scary thoughts to take their pencils, turn them over, rub out these thoughts, and write down happy, positive thoughts...
But it’s not working...
|
Something fundamental, yet so simple, is missing from our understanding of ourselves.
|
I knew that the workings of the brain depended on the ability of nerve cells to communicate with each other, and I can tell you that if this cell-to-cell communication is not functioning properly, the results will become apparent in the individual's behavior and can manifest as scary, bad feelings, sad, depressive thoughts, or aggressive, criminal behavior.
Does a problem exist in the cell-to-cell electrical system of our brain? If so, how did it get there? And how do we fix it?
I wanted to know what the brain needed for optimal functioning and found that it relies on high quality nutrition in the form of complex carbohydrates, essential fatty acids (omega 3 & 6), vitamins and minerals.
When asked to describe what they eat, most people will profess to follow an adequately healthy diet, and living in the 'land of plenty', there is no reason to question a person's access to good quality food. Then why does the brain appear to not be reaping the benefits of this nourishment?
Upon further investigation I determined that the problem had to be connected to the processing or digesting of the food being eaten.
The problem lies in the gut. The gastro-intestinal system is the gateway to the proper functioning of all the body's other environments. Like the roots of a tree, our gastro-intestinal tract processes and supplies the necessary elements to all our body environments. If our digestive system is not functioning properly due to lack of nutrients, minerals in particular, the effects will be experienced throughout all our inner environments, including the brain. Take the minerals away from the roots of a tree, and all the other systems of the tree will suffer as a result.
We recognize that the brain is the processor of thought, emotion, and behavior. So if the brain is not getting the nutrients it needs to function correctly, an imbalance can occur that may lead to mental disorders and physical illnesses.
So where does our body look to for its mineral intake? Since the body cannot produce minerals on its own, we must look to our food to supply the nutrients and minerals we need to thrive, but can we depend on our food to contain all the elements we need?
Food for Thought
When you think about food, imagine it this way:
Your car takes a certain type of gas to run efficiently. If we were to water down the gas your car wouldn’t go anywhere, at least not very well. Our body is our vehicle, and the food and nutrients we consume are the gas. The minerals in our gas are key for proper combustion of vitamins in the cylinders (our stomach and gastrointestinal system). The nutrients in our food and plants over the last hundred years have become depleted, or watered down, by up to 93%!
|
Is there any wonder why our vehicles don't run well, or need to make
frequent visits to a mechanic / doctor on a regular basis?
|

10,000 years ago we would walk in the wilderness picking the berries growing along the paths for food. These berries contained hundreds of tiny particles – nutrients – that our bodies had, and still have, a fundamental relationship with. These nutrients contribute to our basic health and form the building blocks that give us energy, cognition, and an overall sense of well-being. The berries pass on the minerals they've collected from the soil to us, ensuring optimal functioning of our bodies and minds. |
The last 80 to 100 years have ushered in a drastically different style of eating. In comparison to the diets of our grandparents, and their grandparents before them, our food sources are no longer home- and community-based. Ever since man slid a corporate building between us and our food chain, the meals we consume are more likely to come from mass-marketed, highly refined and processed “food”, or produce that has traveled thousands of miles to sit in a warehouse until it ripens and is transported to our supermarkets. As a result, the quality, variety and availability of nutrients in our food has drastically diminished.
So what do you suppose the effect of this global lack of nutrients has on our brain and electrical system?

Dr. Alexis Carrel, Nobel Prize winner in Medicine, pointed out:
"Minerals from the soil control the metabolism of cells in plants, in animals, and in man... diseases are created chiefly by destroying the harmony reigning among mineral substances."

We're Sold on Flavor
The processed food, fast food, and junk food industries are serving it up and we are guzzling it down. The typical North American diet now consists largely of processed foods. These “good-for-you and your family” foods are full of chemicals, artificial “enhancers” and fortifiers to satisfy your taste buds and sense of smell. The consequence of embracing such a diet: widespread obesity and chronic disease. At this point we may end up looking for relief by visiting our doctor, where we might end up with a prescription to ease our symptoms, but the basic underlying causes of our illnesses are not being addressed.

Go Mom Go
Ever since mom took off her apron and joined the workforce, home-cooked meals have fallen by the wayside. We have come to rely on convenience, especially when it comes to what we eat.
AND THAT’S A BIG PROBLEM

Yum Yum
We live in a culture where $33 billion per year is spent promoting unhealthy processed foods, fast foods and junk foods – and a large percentage of that advertising is aimed, effectively, straight at our children. The processed food industry has successfully distorted what we consider to be “normal” in terms of what we eat and what we feed our youth.

One of the most important factors in the understanding of learning and behaviour problems in children is optimal mineral intake and absorption. Sadly, many children are deficient in essential minerals, which are vital for proper body functioning. One or more mineral deficiencies are generally found in children classified as learning disabled, making mineral supplementation a necessity in helping to overcome these behaviors.
The number of American children being diagnosed with psychiatric illnesses has soared over the past decade and a half. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) estimates that today, one in ten children and adolescents in the United States "suffers from mental illnesses severe enough to result in significant functional impairment." During this same time period, psychotropic drugs have become the treatment of first choice rather than the treatment of last resort. Recent years have witnessed a threefold increase in the use of psychotropic medication among patients under twenty years of age, and prescriptions for preschoolers have been skyrocketing. Over 10 million children and adolescents are currently on antidepressants, and about 5 million children are taking stimulant medications such as Ritalin.
| “Most of the children I treated with diet and supplements no longer needed the Ritalin they had been taking. Their problem was not a Ritalin deficiency. They had mineral and vitamin deficiencies. Their behaviour - good mornings and terrible afternoons; either sleepy or restless and inattentive, were explained by their diet. Along with a better diet, they needed minerals to act as co-enzymes for basic metabolism. As I expanded my research with reading and using nutrition as treatment for patients, I noted that the nutritional approach was valid for other conditions, not just the hyperactive child.”

Good for You and Your Family
Over the last four decades we have been steadily sliding corporations into place, separating us from our food sources on the hillside. We have also developed into global eaters, consumers of mass-marketed, highly refined and processed "foods." I started looking into the diets of our ancestors for clues that would help us reinstate the basics of a healthy eating program.
|
It is worth noting that traditional diets that have evolved independently in different parts of the world have a common nutritionally-sound basis. Biologically, humans are omnivores, "eaters of everything." Compared to the modern Western diet, the diets of our ancestors included far more fibre, less saturated beef fat and no hydrogenated fat such as margarine or shortening. Instead, they consumed more natural fat, particularly omega-3 essential fatty acid.
Traditional dietary practices were closely linked to other social, cultural and spiritual traditions. Respect, awe and a spirit of gratitude were attached to the rituals of obtaining, preparing, eating and sharing food. Indigenous cultures from around the world developed their early eating habits based upon the regional and seasonal availability of foods within their own regions.
I found that Dr. Weston Price, a Canadian-born dentist with a deep interest in anthropology and health discovered the devastating impact of replacing a traditional foods diet with a modern one on the health of primitive people. He conducted a famous research project in the 1930's, traveling the world and studying the dietary habits of some of the most primitive and isolated people. No matter where his research led him - from the African continent to the Swiss Alps, from the Amazon jungle, to the Northern reaches of the Canadian Arctic – Dr. Price’s observations were consistent. He found that the ancient cultures that displayed remarkable longevity ate predominately vegetable-source foods plus regular servings of fish. Dr. Price found that wherever geography permitted, fish and seafood played a major role in the diet and he believed that the beneficial fats found in fish most likely accounted for the superior health of these people who were free of dental and degenerative disease.

Fish Story
A study of Eskimos was done by a journalist from the New England Journal of Medicine in the mid 60’s. The study stated that before the Eskimos were introduced to the cooked & processed American diet they ate mainly whale blubber and seal meat. Eskimos lived on this diet for generations without suffering from nutritional deficiencies, heart disease, cancer, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and many other problems that are now commonplace in our world. So what’s so great about whale blubber and seal meat?
|
A study of nutrients in whale blubber and seal meat was conducted and published in Food Chemistry (Brunborg et al. 2005). Both foods contain high proportions of long chained unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids and mono unsaturated fatty acids. Seal meat is lean (less than 2 % fat) and is protein rich with a well-balanced amino acid composition. Additionally, both foods contain a high concentration of minerals, especially iron. Seal meat also has high levels of vitamins A, D3, and B12.
So, how do these animals come to have such a nutrient-dense body composition? We have to look at the source of these nutrients, which in the case of whales and seals, along with all the other fish products we consume, can be traced down the Arctic/Antarctic food pyramid. The green plants (specifically algae) growing in our waters produce these essential nutrients (essential because our bodies can’t produce them on our own) as part of photosynthesis.
Obesity and diabetes used to be virtually unknown among the Eskimos. Their traditional diet reflects their hunter-gatherer lifestyle: it consists mostly of such mineral-rich foods as whale and seal meat, fish, berries, and a limited selection of greens and vegetables that grow wild on the tundra. Some Eskimos still eat a predominantly traditional diet, and have little trouble with modern-day diseases.
After many years of research, Dr. Price concluded that the overall health and resistance to disease of the people he was studying was far superior in the groups who maintained a traditional diet consisting of the animals they could catch and the fruits, berries, nuts, grains and eggs they could collect. Dr. Price also felt that human disease is caused by sub-optimal nutrient intake. Traditional diets of long-lived peoples, whether or not they were predominantly vegetarian, shared certain other common features. Most foods were eaten raw, so they were high in fibre and rich in vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Foods were obtained locally and were unrefined. Dairy products came from animals that had grazed on fresh, green pastures and these products were almost always eaten in fermented forms, such as yogurt or cheese. All sweet foods, including fruits, were eaten in season and therefore were rare treats rather than regular parts of the diet. Vegetable oils and fruit juices were also rare. Processed foods such as white flour, sugar and hydrogenated fats were nonexistent. Wild greens, and seaweeds where available, have always been a very important part of traditional diets. These foods, rich in vitamins and minerals, are alkaline-forming in the body, and provided a counterbalance to acid-forming grains and meats. The natural lifestyle and eating habits of the healthy natives studied by Dr. Price are in stark contrast to the overfed but undernourished inhabitants of North America. In the mad rush to modernize, our once-healthy dietary patterns have been reshaped and remolded by clever marketing strategies of the fast food industry and multinational food producers. Socio-economic changes such as parents working, single-parent families, nuclear family isolation and the generally hectic schedules of modern life have all played a part in the popular acceptance of fast foods. The price we pay for "convenience" foods is far greater than the immediate monetary cost. When we consider the far-reaching health and environmental consequences of the use of these foods, we realize it is worth our investment in time and money to return to a natural foods diet.
Further Insult to Our Food
It might surprise you to learn that just one teaspoon of non-chemically-treated soil is home to more living creatures than there are people in the world. Or you can look at it this way: each gram of healthy soil has 600 million micro organisms that hold thousands of species of bacteria and fungi. Artificial chemical fertilizers that are manufactured from petroleum-based chemicals, and contain no trace minerals, kill the micro organisms and worms in the topsoil when applied, upsetting the balance of the environment needed for growth. Plants absorb their minerals from the soil they are grown in; when minerals become unavailable in this environment due to modern farming and fertilizing practices, the food produced there cannot possibly include these nutrients, leaving us with empty food.
Now with the increased use of food irradiation, what we consume for fuel has even less beneficial nutrients. As early as the 1950s, research showed a wide range of problems in animals that were fed irradiated food. These problems included premature death, a rare form of cancer, reproductive dysfunction, chromosomal abnormalities, liver damage, low weight gain and vitamin deficiencies.
|
Food irradiation is done with gamma rays from cobalt, which is capable of causing genetic change and mutation just like radioactive elements.
- Irradiation destroys vitamins, essential fatty acids and other nutrients in food – quite often significantly. The process destroys 80 percent of vitamin A in eggs; nevertheless, the FDA has legalized irradiation of food.
- Irradiation disrupts the chemical composition of everything it is applied to -- not only harmful bacteria, as the food industry would have us believe. Many new chemicals called "radiolysis products" are formed by irradiation. These chemicals do not occur naturally in food, and studies have not been done by the FDA to prove their safety.
- Irradiation kills beneficial micro organisms, such as the yeasts and molds that help keep botulism at bay, as well as the micro organisms that generate the odors that alert us when food has gone bad.
|
It is important to realize that only about 5% of bacteria are actually harmful, with the other 95% being beneficial. So when industry uses irradiation, and sprays the fields with pesticides, herbicides and fungicides, the myriad of bacteria and micro organisms that support plant life are killed, leaving the soil lifeless. Chemical fertilizers are now added back to the soil in an attempt to replace what nature had provided in the first place. This results in de-natured soil producing second-rate food that we consume, trusting that we are providing our bodies with the building blocks needed to keep us healthy and thriving. Instead, our depleted and tired soils are unable to supply the nutrients needed for optimal plant growth, and this deficit is the legacy passed on to us through our food.
In Conclusion
Our physical and mental health has been impacted by our move away from our traditional diets, and the effects of our efforts to improve and maximize food production has resulted in nutrient depleted foods leading to nutrient deficient bodies and brains.
In our rush to embrace the progress that is catapulting us into the 21st century, we find ourselves tripping over the harmful fall-out of our new and improved lives.
This all leads back to where I began putting 'one plus one' together while conducting tests with electricity. Our bodies are electrical machines. All of our vital body functions, such as heartbeat, or muscle contractions, happen as a result of the electrical signals being sent from your brain to the various parts of your body. What I saw in that test facility all those years ago, showed me what happens when electricity misbehaves - malfunctioning bodies and brains. And I knew that the Logic of Force in Cell-to-Cell Communication, the 'Axiom Principle', was the gateway to the knowledge I have been able to use to help people overcome their malfunctions, both physically, and psychologically.
