As a tribe member (WOTN), you'll get a few great benefits from being here:
We’re here to get results and we know you are too. Here’s the best way for each of us to get there:
Be ready to look in the mirror. Working with Nature is about what's right, not about what's easy or convenient. Nature offers no compromises.
Be ready to change. If you want change, you must change. Half-measures won't do it. Compromises won't do it. You must act different tp become different.
Be ready to share and help others. Your stories and experiences may be exactly what another footballer needs to hear today to solve a problem or seize an opportunity.
Be constructive. We’re here to push each other forward and lift each other up. Find ways to help each other think bigger, reframe challenges, and stay curious.
Don’t spam, promote, or troll. The Way of the Natural exists to help you learn. Please maintain discretion. There are many high-level footballers here. Respect their time and privacy.
By joining The Way of the Natural, you’re also a member of Football Entangled, our overarching Performance Academy (The Entangled Tribe). You’ll be able to view all The Way of the Natural content here, and join the WOTN Telegram Locker Room (think about it as our own discussion group for only WOTN members separated into several topics).
Keep in mind this is a living course. Meaning changes can be made overtime as well as new features and sections periodically. It will always be here in the tribe to access as long as you maintain membership in the Entangled Tribe.
There's no time to waste. Let’s get started.
Talent is a placeholder. Genetics is an escape goat. It's something someone uses to explain away what they can't or don't want to understand. It's easy to blame something blameless like genetics, talent, or bad luck for your shortcomings. That's why it's so common.
Do not talk about giftedness, inborn talents! One can name great men of all kinds who were very little gifted. They acquired greatness, became "geniuses" (as we put it), through qualities the lack of which no one who knew what they were would boast of: they all possessed that seriousness of the efficient workman which first learns to construct that parts properly before it ventures to fashion a great whole; they allowed themselves time for it because they took more pleasure in making the little, secondary things well than in the effect of a dazzling whole.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
Think of mastery in this way: Throughout history, men and women have felt trapped by the limitations of their consciousness, by their lack of contact with reality and the power to affect the world around them. They have sought all kinds of shortcuts to this expanded consciousness and sense of control, in the form of magic rituals, trances, incantations, and drugs. They have devoted their lives to alchemy, in search of the philosopher’s stone-the elusive substance that transformed all matter into gold.
This hunger for the magical shortcut has survived to our day in the form of simple formulas for success, ancient secrets finally revealed in which a mere change of attitude will attract the right energy. There is a grain of truth practically in all of these efforts-for instance, the emphasis in magic on deep focus. But in the end all of this searching is centered on something that doesn’t exist-the effortless path to practical power, the quick and easy solution, the El Dorado of the mind.
At the same time that so many people lose themselves in these endless fantasies, they ignore the one real power that they actually possess. And unlike magic or simplistic formulas, we can see the material effects of this power in history-the great discoveries and inventions, the magnificent buildings and works of art, the technological prowess we possess, all works of the masterful mind. This power brings to those who possess it the kind of connection to reality and the ability to alter the world that the mystics and magicians of the past could only dream of.
Over the centuries, people have placed a wall around such mastery. They have called it genius and have thought of it as inaccessible. They have seen it as the product of privilege, inborn talent, or just the right alignment of the stars. They have made it seem as if it were as elusive as magic. But that wall is imaginary. This is the real secret: the brain that we possess is the work of six million years of development, and more than anything else, this evolution of the brain was designed to lead us to mastery, the latent power within us all.
The only limit you have is the one you place on yourself. If you toss out the self-imposed shackles, you can work your way towards unlocking your true potential. It's this simple mental shift of intent backed by desire that gave me the means to discover, find, and figure out everything you'll read in the WOTN 3.0. Enjoy! It's my life's work up to this point.
The Ultimate Power
Everyone holds his fortune in his own hands, like a sculptor the raw material he will fashion into a figure, But it's the same with that type of artistic activity as with all others: We are merely born with the capability to do it. The skill to mold the material into what we want must be learned and attentively cultivated.
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker, or smarter. Everything within. Everything exists. Seek nothing outside of yourself.
- Miyamoto Musashi
Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor.
- Alexis Carrel
It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
-Jiddu Krishamurti
Read the passage below from Robert Greene's Mastery:
In fact, we can say that this revolutionary relationship to time fundamentally altered the human mind itself and gave it a particular quality or grain. When we take our time and focus in depth, when we trust that going through the process of months or years will bring us mastery, we work with the grain of this marvelous instrument that developed over so many millions of years. We infallibly move to higher and higher levels of intelligence. We see more deeply and realistically. We practice and make things with skill. We learn to think for ourselves. We become capable of handling complex situations without being overwhelmed. In following this path we become Homo magister, man or woman the Master.
To the extent that we believe we can skip steps, avoid the process, magically gain power through political connections or easy formulas, or depend on our natural talents, we move against this grain and reverse our natural powers. We become slaves to time-as it passes, we grow weaker, less capable, trapped in some dead-end career. We become captive to the opinions and fears of others. Rather than the mind connecting us to reality, we become disconnected and locked in a narrow chamber of thought. The human that depended on focused attention for its survival now becomes the distracted scanning animal, unable to think in-depth, yet unable to depend on instincts.
It is the height of stupidity to believe that in the course of your short life, your few decades of consciousness, you can somehow rewire the configurations of your brain through technology and wishful thinking, overcoming the effect of six million years of development. To go against the grain might bring temporary distraction, but time will mercilessly expose your weakness and impatience. (pg.9)
The Unknowing Saboteur
Aldous Huxley warned: “The victim of mind-manipulation does not know he is a victim. To him, the walls of his prison are invisible and he believes himself to be free.”
Nature has been around far longer than the blink of an eye humans have existed on this planet. Nature made us; yet, it is common thought nowadays that we are smarter than her. As though we have evolved past our primitive years and left Nature behind. This is a fatal mistake.
All our lives, we are made to think that we need the multitude of conveniences & technologies that make up our societies. We are told you would suffer without the advancements of 21st century living. They say that before the urban jungles, fast food, and endless entertainment, life was short, ugly, and hard. This dynamic of reliance creates the idea that the human body is inherently weak and frail.
It is quite the opposite. The human body is far more powerful than most have ever imagined.
The 6 Areas of Sabotage
Your Function
In your body
Your mind
Your habits
Your terrain
On your body
The 6 areas of your life you can optimize to enhance your health and Football performance.
Working against Nature Breaks down the power of the human body.
The human body is an interconnected system all working together from top to bottom. This is how Nature works. She entangles the timing and firing of every biological process to work in unison. This means when something is off, the whole system will suffer.
Working against Nature leaves you untangled & living far below your potential. When a few strands in a spiderweb begins to whither, the whole web can fall. Like many coaches have said, you are only as strong as your weakest link. The work we do here optimizes and strengthens every piece of you from the bottom up. You will be amazed by the transformation of simply allowing your body to operate at its highest capacity.
Work with the design nature built into us and this world. Do what makes sense. Do what is sustainable and flys in tune with Nature's laws. She makes no compromises. Nature's designs are everywhere you look.
When you challenge nature by banging up against it, nature always wins in the long run. How about if, instead of needing to overcome, needing to fix, needing to change, we try to better understand nature to learn how to work with it.
- Frank Lowen
As you'll see, my concept of Working with Nature is spread out over three pillars. This helps organize the work and create a framework we can use to get you the best results possible.
Work with Nature and treat the root cause of talent. Use Nature's blueprint to transform your body, mind, and spirit into the highest potential you can reach. The three pillars will guide you on this journey.
What is it & how do we foster it?
It is what gives life to the Natural. It is what allows the natural to be lean, robust, and good-looking. It gives the Natural unlimited energy and drive. At the cellular level, it is what creates energy for your body.
There are no COINCIDENCES in nature. Form and Function operate together. You must learn to Work with nature to be good and to look good. It surrounds optimizing your mitochondria.
Yes, the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the human cell (like you've been taught in school), but there's much more to it than that. Your choices, your environment, and even your beliefs can alter the function of your mitochondria.
The redox potential is how well mitochondria are able to carry out the reaction of life and facilitate bodily processes. You can think of it as the engine of the body, like a furnace steadily revving up to make heat.
Dr. Jack Kruse coined the term "the three-legged-stool" to describe the three levers of mitochondrial redox: Light, Water, and Magnetism.
Imagine the engine getting more powerful or the furnace growing in heating energy with a positive lifestyle, nutritional, and training choices. Now think what happens when you live inside all day, get no sun, are never grounded, and eat processed junk foods?
Your Inner Furnace decay slows down, and becomes cold devoid of energy. Everything you'll find in this Pillar is meant to foster the Inner Furnace. The health and vitality of your external environment nurtures the function of your internal environment.
"We live by a small trickle of electricity from the sun. The green of our garden, the algae in our water, the trees, grasses and herbs on our lands are the transforming agents that harvest the sun’s light via the process of photosynthesis. When we consume these foods, this stored sun energy is released into our bodies as electrons; it is then transformed into ATP, adenosine triphosphate, the biological energy necessary for all cellular function."
- Albert Szent-Györgyi
Food is an electromagnetic fingerprint from the sun that is created by photosynthesis. Mitochondria are decided to decipher that electromagnetic cipher. It is a deciphering sensory mechanism. That is what is being disrupted in the prefrontal cortex of the brain. - Dr. Jack Kruse
In this vein, we want alive vivacious food instead of dead, cooked, indigestible food. We want food full of nutrients, not full of anti-nutrients and neurotoxins. We want food full of structured water optimal for hydration instead of relying on water to hydrate our tissue. Cooked food is not only devoid of hydration and nutrition but leaves the body thirsty.
We also want food that's going to align our circadian rhythms and provide the optimal light information for our location. This translates into eating local, fresh, and organic. "Foods" that have been grown in pesticide-laden monocropped factory farms and shipped across the world have no place being called food.
I am talking about eating raw meat, raw eggs (like rocky), raw fish (like sushi), raw dairy products (unpasteurized), raw honey, and even cold-pressed vegetable juices. This automatically makes these foods fresh and local which falls in line with the mitochondrial-based eating principle.
Now I know many of you will automatically think this is gross or crazy, but that's normal. Pretty much all of society has been taught to always cook (burn) their food to "make things taste good" and to be "safe". The first is really just most of our taste buds have been conditioned to favor processed ingredients and the high amounts of flavoring (sugar).
The second concern is entirely unfounded and has much more to do with industrial processed meats and vegetables that are frozen for indefinite periods and then sold as "fresh" in franchise stores like Chipotle and McDonalds. That's what happens when you kill off the natural life present in food (bacteria and enzymes).
At a fundamental level, cooking food produces toxins in the food as well as mutilate the nutrients that were already there. Vitamins are destroyed. Enzymes are destroyed at prolonged artificial temperatures from 122 F (49 C). The loss of mineral utilization due to cauterization is significant.
Without these little guys, you and I would be dead. Bacteria are found almost everywhere on Earth and are vital to the planet's ecosystems. We and bacteria live together in harmony helping each other, especially in the human body. Bacteria do not cause food poisoning. Largely everything you've heard about bacteria is fear-based inside an unfounded pathogen theory.
Bacteria give you life. Enrich your body with raw fresh food abundant in bacteria and see your Inner Furnace prosper.
Dr. Jerry Tennant's amazing work with voltage shows that much success with raw diet is due not only to undamaged proteins, enzymes, minerals, etc. but that raw food carries voltage. Cooked food does not. Without voltage and raw materials, one cannot build a new cell and therefore cannot heal.
Another missed point is how the body handles fat that's been heated vs raw fat in its natural state. Most people have never even considered this nuance. Raw fat lubricates and nurtures the body, while cooked fat becomes dense and oxidized requiring the body to go through a number of detox measures.
Raw fat is the most utilized nutrient in our bodies, especially in our toxin industrial world. It helps stabilize and relax the body markedly when in combination with raw meat. Fats help white blood-cell production, assist microbial activity and provide for lubricants accomplish a variety of functions. Fats provide the greatest, strongest, and most efficient energy possible.
- Aajonus Vonderplanitz
Beware the marketing of superfood supplements. The real "superfoods" are those in nature like raw organ meats, oysters, and even honeycomb. Anything coming in a box or sold at a smoothie shop is not a superfood or even healthy at all...
'Super food’ is a marketing term. All natural, organically grown foods are super foods. An orange grown naturally in your back yard is ten times the ‘superfood’ of any powder that comes from the amazon, no matter what the marketing blurb says.
- Tom Barnett
Prioritize seafood especially shellfish (oysters, muscles, clams, shrimp, lobster, scallops, etc). In the summer months, it's okay to eat more fruit and carbohydrates if they're naturally present in your location, but in the winter you will want to restrict most fruit and have very little carbohydrates. Sweet potatoes and white rice are the cleanest carbohydrates to have.
Avoid all nightshades (tomatoes, cucumbers, jalapeños, chiles, etc) except when correctly juiced or combined with raw fats. Avoid all grains. This means bread, crackers, brown rice (white rice is okay), pizza, popcorn, cereal, pasta, quinoa, and any other kind of wheat. You can get away with a little bread if it is made locally in the traditional way of fermentation.
Raw unheated dairy is fantastic for living healthfully. Unfortunately, depending on what country you live in your dairy is likely pasteurized. Raw local grass-fed goat or sheep dairy is what most people should have access to, but for modern unnatural living, most do not. Most dairy is pasteurized, grain-fed, and from A1 cows and should be avoided.
In the coming lessons, we will dive into different aspects of this new way of nourishing the body.

Natural Athleticism is what makes you who you are.
The Matrix of Athleticism
We are taught to believe that genetics determines athleticism, speed is luck, age means injury, strength is built in the gym, more muscle equals better, and so on and so on.
All of these false paradigms lock us into a hole. Keep our head down in the trenches lamenting our "bad luck" that we just don't have it what it takes. That somehow injury is just bad luck and we have to deal with it.
Why not instead realize that everything is under your control. That you were not designed to break down. That athleticism is simply a benchmark of how much harmony you've been able to unlock. It is simply a question of nurture.
And that is why you are here: to escape the matrix of athleticism and learn PEAK HARMONY to unlock that NATURAL athleticism that we all have locked away inside of us...
There are many areas of Natural Athleticism we'll look at that must be taken care of to unlock PEAK HARMONY. This is a map giving you a guide to the top. As this journey is so unique for everyone, I will be continually adding new observations.
Athleticism gives you a framework and structure to function. It is the grand sum of all the experiences in life (both physical and mental/spiritual) to get you to where you are now. It's not here one second and gone another. It serious work that creates deep athletic transformation changing the actual fiber of your being.
Athleticism goes beyond Muscle. this goes beyond what we see on the outside. It goes within To something called Fascia.
Fascia is a web-like spongy material UNDERNEATH your skin that interlaces with all your muscles, bones, organs, and even brain. The secrets of nature hide in plain sight almost invisible to the untrained eye. the devil is in the details, as they say...
There are 3 general areas along this spectrum that we can refer to as level 1-3. As you move up the ladder, you become more athletic, resistant to injury, and generally better in all ways. The lower you are on this ladder, you might find that you have to put more effort to get equal results as a Natural, and that you are often hurt.
Everyone starts at their own unique position on the ladder. Some lower and some higher, but everyone has work to do. The ladder is limitless.
This is what the Natural enjoys. This is what elite athleticism creates. This is what you should have. This is what we are creating.
The Performance Matrix
We are taught to believe that genetics determines athleticism, speed is luck, age means injury, strength is built in the gym, more muscle equals better, and so on and so on.
All of these false paradigms lock us into a hole. Keep our head down in the trenches lamenting our "bad luck" that we just don't have it what it takes. That somehow injury is just bad luck and we have to deal with it.
Why not instead realize that everything is under your control. That you were not designed to break down. That athleticism is simply a benchmark of how much harmony you've been able to unlock. It is simply a question of nurture.
And that is why you are here: to escape the matrix of athleticism and learn PEAK HARMONY to unlock that NATURAL athleticism that we all have locked away inside of us...
There are many areas of Natural Athleticism we'll look at that must be taken care of to unlock PEAK HARMONY. This is a map giving you a guide to the top.
It starts in your root, the foot. Your foot is your only connection to the ground. From the foot, fascia connections spiral up the posterior chain through the glutes and abs to create a springboard. Maintain that intention throughout the work.
Starting out, everyone will be at a different point up the mountain of natural athleticism and thus have different strengths and weaknesses. Some of you may have an existing level of glute connection while others will need to spend extra time regaining full functionality of your toes and arch.
Rome wasn't built overnight and true transformation takes time. Alongside this whole process, you are of course playing football (unless you're currently injured) and will see changes in yourself in real time at each step along the journey.
There are 3 levels in total. the three here in this course will keep you more than occupied for multiple years. When you're ready for more, I'll let you know.
There is no glory in rushing this process. Each step has a purpose and you only suffer by skipping important phases of the journey. Have patience and maintain your focus on the work at hand.
Generally, it is best to do 12 week blocks of work, do a 1 week rest, and repeat. This is what I call rinse, wash, repeat. Each cycle, your progress should be increasing and fascia connections growing in their strength and integration to football. Whenever you feel that the quality of your fascial tension is low then that is likely a sign that you need to rest.
Signs of this will be poor ankle stiffness and inability to apply tension on the field effectively (this doesn't apply to beginners). Fascial fatigue is deeper and more delayed than muscle.
Unless otherwise noted, fascial tension is to be applied during everywhere exercise. You need to squeeze hard. This is not easy. Sometimes it will feel like your foot might cramp. You need to apply more tension than you think you can.
Try to keep tension as much as you can throughout the day in your arch. This is the molding I talk about. You can do it while walking, sitting, cooking, etc.
My advice is to develop a routine where you do your Peak Harmony training at the same time and place every day so it becomes a habit. Habits truly make big effects in the long run when the small things you do every day add up.
Be aware of what sensations you are feeling while you train and play. These are important signs to understand if you are doing exercises correctly and on the right path.
There will be different stages as you progress.
Different levels of sensations at each level will dictate your current level of training. Generally if you're feeling quads or calves then we have work to do.
Currently there are 3 levels available. When footballers are ready for level 4, we will begin the package to be available as a separate piece. Now keep in mind that levels 1-3 and playing football can keep you fully occupied for several years at least so focus on the fundamentals and trust the process.
"Success requires no apologies, failure permits no alibis." ― Napoleon Hill
The spiritual. the mental, the psychological, the emotional, the invisible tug-of-war occurring inside the intangible. The Infinite Intelligence. It's in your hands. "It" is whatever you make it. It could be nothing or it could be everything.
How many footballers do you know that hold themselves back because they simply don't do it? They make excuse after excuse for not doing what they know they need to do in order to be successful.
This module is to show you how you can hack your life. It's to help you come to terms with whatever you don't even know is there. That "internal drive". That passion and thirst that drives all our ambitions. That desire to become our best. The mind that creates progress. not self-sabotage.
Who cares what knowledge you have about mitochondrial health, fascia, and football if you don't even take advantage of it? All these tools are no good if you don't stand up, open your palms and pick them up. All of this is mute if you don't believe. All of this is obsolete if you can't look in the mirror and smile with a knowing...
We don't believe in things that take away our power.
What is it? Is it God, Allah, Buddha, and other entities to represent a higher power? The infinite intelligence is merely another way to explain this in a neutral tone without invoking any religious fervor. You can be spiritual without being religious and vice versa.
My aim is not to get into a religious debates or "convert" you to another religion. I am talking about the creative spark from where something is birthed out of nothing. I am talking about dipping your finger into the pie of life.
Instead of thinking of some external powerful being why not consider the possibility of it being within you?
This is where the limitless potential we all possess comes from. This is how ideas flow and inspiration finds itself within an individual. And all you have to do is open your mind to it. Open your mind to the possibility of it. Lower the walls of your mind (fear, disbelief, and conditioning) and allow a connection to grow where inspiration, excitement, and vitality flow into you daily.
I know that sounds too simple or you might possibly think that's "dumb" but stick with it and you'll be rewarded. Oftentimes during meditation, I find myself tossed into a whirlwind of inspiration. It could be about a new idea for Football Entangled or something in my personal life. Essentially, an idea was given to me. I have no problem saying that I built this entire community by merely maintaining a strong desire backed by faith. That allowed the ideas necessary to achieve that goal to flow to me.
I think this is similar to what happens on the pitch when you are truly in a flow state. Ideas and decisions come to you. Some of your actions and movements take a life of their own. The more you can tap into the Infinite Intelligence the better.
Now if you've found your way to the Way of the Natural and joined the Entangled Tribe it's a strong likelihood you already have a growth mindset. A mindset that you can develop and you can grow. You can improve your current standing with the correct effort and work. You can become the best.
This would be compared to a fixed mindset where you believe everything is how it is and that's the way it'll always be. You would believe that some are born talented and some are not. You would believe some are meant to be injured all the time and some are meant to be effortlessly athletic. I see this mindset has a wild disease spreading among young men and women these days as a self-protection tactic to remain in their comfortable shell, doing everything possible to remain shielded from risk of rejection.
Catch yourself when you feel yourself sleeping into a defeatist fixed mindset. Toss it out with positive self-talk and remind yourself of these two state of minds.
Below is a passage from Robert Greene's Mastery. It's time you toss off the invisible shackles this modern world thrusts onto you from birth.
Before it is too late you must find your way to your inclination, exploiting the incredible opportunities of the age that you have been born into. Knowing the critical importance of desire and of your emotional connection to your work, which are the keys to mastery, you can in fact make the passivity of these times work in your favor and serve as a motivating device in two important ways. First, you must see your attempt at attaining mastery as something extremely necessary and positive.
The world is teeming with problems, many of them of our own creation. To solve them will require a tremendous amount of effort and creativity. Relying on genetics, technology, magic, or being nice and natural will not save us. We require the energy not only to address practical matters, but also to forge new institutions and orders that fit our changed circumstances. We must create our own world or we will die from inaction. We need to find our way back to the concept of mastery that defined us as a species many millions of years ago.
This is not mastery for the purpose of dominating nature or other people, but for determining our fate. The passive ironic attitude is not cool or romantic, but pathetic and destructive. You are setting an example of what can be achieved as a Master in the modern world. You are contributing to the most important cause of all—the survival and prosperity of the human race, in a time of stagnation. Second, you must convince yourself of the following: people get the mind and quality of brain that they deserve through their actions in life.
Despite the popularity of genetic explanations for our behavior, recent discoveries in neuroscience are overturning long-held beliefs that the brain is genetically hardwired. Scientists are demonstrating the degree to which the brain is actually quite plastic—how our thoughts determine our mental landscape. They are exploring the relationship of willpower to physiology, how profoundly the mind can affect our health and functionality.
It is possible that more and more will be discovered about how deeply we create the various patterns of our lives through certain mental operations—how we are truly responsible for so much of what happens to us. People who are passive create a mental landscape that is rather barren. Because of their limited experiences and action, all kinds of connections in the brain die off from lack of use.
Pushing against the passive trend of these times, you must work to see how far you can extend control of your circumstances and create the kind of mind you desire—not through drugs but through action Unleashing the masterful mind within, you will be at the vanguard of those who are exploring the extended limits of human willpower.
Mastery pg. 14-15- Robert Greene
Ultimately, come to terms that your life is in your hands. This might seem scary at first because seemingly the risk of failure falls in your court. In that same moment, you gain complete freedom because you can do anything you set your mind to. You can have negative beliefs about yourself and the world or you can have high self-worth and simply be great.
The choice is yours.
Whether you think you can, or you think you can't
--you're right.

The stimulus that molds your mind and body
The limitless creativity of the court uncages the imagination from the limitations of drills and trainers.
This allows your speed, power, and agility to develop naturally through the trial & error of mistakes and success with live defenders.
The concrete court creates elite players. There is no other way.
There is a great power hidden within the lines. Inside the seemingly emptiness of simplicity, there is endless complexity. This is how I view The Game. It propels you beyond your limits. It teaches you what needed to know not what you wanted to know. Embrace the unknown of creativity. Embrace the risk.
We could express this power in the following way: most of the time we live in an interior world of dreams, desires, and obsessive thoughts. But in this period of exceptional creativity, we are impelled by the need to get something done that has a practical effect. We force ourselves to step outside our inner chamber of habitual thoughts and connect to the world, to other people, to reality. Instead of flitting here and there in a state of perpetual distraction, our minds focus and penetrate to the core of something real. At these moments, it is as if our minds-turned outward-are now flooded with light from the world around us, and suddenly exposed to new details and ideas, we become more inspired and creative.
Once the deadline has passed or the crisis is over, this feeling of power and heightened creativity generally fades away. We return to our distracted state and the sense of control is gone. If only we could manufacture this feeling, or somehow keep it alive longer... but it seems so mysterious and elusive.
The problem we face is that this form of power and intelligence is either ignored as a subject of study or is surrounded by all kinds of myths and misconceptions, all of which only add to the mystery. We imagine that creativity and brilliance just appear out of nowhere, the fruit of natural talent, or perhaps of a good mood, or an alignment of the stars. It would be an immense help to clear up the mystery-to name this feeling of power, to examine its roots, to define the kind of intelligence that leads to it, and to understand how it can be manufactured and maintained.
Let us call this sensation Mastery - the feeling that we have a greater command of reality other people, and ourselves. Although it might be something we experience for only a short while, for others-Masters of their field-it becomes their way of life, their way of seeing the world. (Such Masters include Leonardo da Vinci, Napoleon Bonaparte, Charles Darwin, Thomas Edison, and Martha Graham, among many others.) And at the root of this power is a simple process that leads to mastery-one that is accessible to all of us.
Although we might enter these situations with excitement about what we can learn or do with our new skills, we quickly realize how much hard work there is ahead of us. The great danger is that we give in to feelings of boredom, impatience, fear, and confusion. We stop observing and learning. The process comes to a halt.
If, on the other hand, we manage these emotions and allow time to take its course, something remarkable begins to take shape. As we continue to observe and follow the lead of others, we gain clarity, learning the rules and seeing how things work and fit together. If we keep practicing, we gain fluency; basic skills are mastered, allowing us to take on newer and more exciting challenges. we begin to see connections that were invisible to us before. We slowly gain confidence in our ability to solve problems or overcome weaknesses through sheer persistence.
At a certain point, we move from student to practitioner. We try out our own ideas, gaining valuable feedback in the process. We use our expanding knowledge in ways that are increasingly creative. Instead of just learning how others do things, we bring our own style and individuality to play.
As years go by and we remain faithful to this process, yet another leap takes place-to mastery. The keyboard is no longer something outside of us; it is internalized and becomes part of our nervous system, our fingertips. In our career, we now have a feel for the group dynamic, the current state of business. We can apply this feel to social situations, seeing deeper into other people and anticipating their reactions. We can make decisions that are rapid and highly creative. Ideas come to us. We have learned the rules so well that we can now be the ones to break or rewrite them.
Robert Greene - Mastery (pg. 2-3)
For the Game to reward you, you must become molded by it. You won't change the game. It will change you. It will show you the way. For this to happen optimally you must have the Inner Furnace and your natural athleticism in place. This is why Naturals get better by just playing and others do not.
So what do you do if you have no one to play with or need to sharpen some of your football skills?
You tap into your own drive. You push your limits. You push past your limits. Walk the edge of your ability to push it wider step by step.
This can be done with shooting, dribbling, passing (with a wall or partner), or even sprinting (which is a skill).
The maximal intent principle can and should be applied from 1v1 all the way to 11v11.
There are some things that are beneficial to do on your own. This revolves around integrating the Performance Matrix into specific football skills. Always keep tension in the arch and retract the toes while training. The Maximal Intent Principle helps take your training from mindless to mindful.
This is where you push the limits of your ability during training to help mold your athleticism. This would mean in your passes with your partner, you try to hit it your hardest while maintaining your precision and accuracy. This sounds obvious, but there is more to it than meets the eye.
This video is just meant to signify the value of hitting pings with a teammate. It's like playing catch. Practice firm accurate pings with laces to back and forth until you get tired. In the beginning the pings might float a lot but over time try to get them lower. Think Maximal Intent Pings.

There is a lot of knowledge here that has taken 10+ years, tens of thousands of dollars, and unquantifiable pain to amass. Be patient. It will take time to understand it all. It won't come overnight, but be excited that you now have the tools to become built like the world-class player.
Like all of you, I am also on my journey that has taken me across the world and back, learning a lot in the process. The journey never ends! Perfection by definition is imperfect. The best teacher is the eternal student.
Finally, you must not see this process of moving through levels of intelligence as merely linear, heading toward some kind of ultimate destination known as mastery. Your whole life is a kind of apprenticeship to which you apply your learning skills. Everything that happens to you is a form of instruction if you pay attention. The creativity that you gain in learning a skill so deeply must be constantly refreshed, as you keep forcing your mind back to a state of openness. Even knowledge of your vocation must be revisited throughout the course of your life as changes in circumstance force you to adapt its direction. In moving toward mastery, you are bringing your mind closer to reality and to life itself. Anything that is alive is in a continual state of change and movement. The moment that you rest, thinking that you have attained the level you desire, a part of your mind enters a phase of decay. You lose your hard-earned creativity and others begin to sense it. This is a power and intelligence that must be continually renewed or it will die.- Robert Greene, Mastery
Becoming Entangled is more than just training. It's more than just something you do for a few weeks. It's a comprehensive overhaul of your life, forever. It's what's going to help your performance now and your health forever. Anything worth doing, is not going to be easy.
If you want to change, you must change. Ultimately everything we just talked about is meaningless if you don’t believe it. It’s a waste of my time and your time if the one person with it all to do doesn’t really “get” it. It’s all about you. No one else is going to hold your hand on the field just like no one else is going to be on the couch with you recovering from surgery. It’ll just be you. Some might think that’s scary but in reality, it is true freedom. You control your future. It’s all in your hands.
It’s important to dive into this work and embrace it fully. Everything here is here for a reason. Doing some of the recommendations and then not others is not going to get the best results possible.
The Natural is an unconscious creature. They are capped out at whatever potential they reached in early adulthood. Becoming Entangled is not only learning the Way of the Natural but an awakening of the highest order.
Your eyes will awake to the code of the Matrix and you'll see everything hidden in plain sight. With that multi-dimensional vantage point you can consciously become super-natural. You can elevate even farther than the Natural because you have conscious control on the wheel of talent. They do not...
The supernatural has been stripped from humans, and we have been programmed to believe there is nothing inherently special or supernatural about the human being and spirit.
Society is programmed to believe in evolution and think we came from monkeys. They want us to think that humans are animals. If we are animals, then clearly we are not that special. There is nothing different about us than a pig or a cow.
Evolution is a lie. A lie meant to keep you enslaved and make you think you are not supernatural.
YOU ARE A HUMAN BEING. A POWERFUL ENERGETIC BEING.
You are aware. You are conscious. You understand good and evil.

F: OK, we’re talking with Aajonus Vonderplanitz again today. Aajonus, I have noticed any time I go into a health food store, sometimes 90% or, in some cases, 100% of the store is supplements. You’ve got vitamins, you’ve got superfoods, your algae, your protein powders and I know from reading your book you have a slightly different take on supplements. Can you explain why and your position is?
A: Not slightly – a big difference on them. You have to understand how supplements are made. Now most of your supplements that are not “natural” are all chemically derived. They are a look-alike. It’s like you want a Rolls Royce; when you get a supplement, you’re getting a plastic model of a Rolls Royce. It will not do for you what it’s supposed to do.
Most people, when they start taking vitamins, are also changing their diet. That creates their biggest change. Of course, they’re poisoning their bodies because when they make a “natural” supplement what they do is they take a food. Now where do they get that food? To get it cheap, they usually go to some food manufacturer, buy their waste, dissolve that into a soup, and then extract what they want out of it.
So most of the time your natural supplements are highly contaminated and highly processed and cooked. Your supplement may say raw. That’s because the laboratory may make it raw but where they got the food from - their source - probably cooked it, cauterized it completely, with all kinds of chemicals in it. But the laboratory that took it from there didn’t put any more chemicals in it, didn’t do anything to it unless they had to dissolve it into a soup because the only way that you can extract anything from a solid substance is to dissolve it into a soup, a liquid, and then extract from there.
How does a laboratory that makes supplements that are natural dissolve a food so they extract what they are looking for out of it? There are only two processes – gasoline or kerosene. Would you soak your food in gasoline or kerosene for 72 hours minimum until it melts into a soup and then rinse it for two minutes and eat it? The food soup has gasoline or kerosene in it. Now it isn’t straight gasoline or kerosene. They’re derivatives and the most often used is hexane from gasoline. That just makes it a tiny bit less toxic. But if you drink it, you’re dead. You’re going to dissolve your body. And, these substances, whether it’s the gasoline or the kerosene derivative, are in every particle of what’s been extracted. So a lot of people think they’re getting high from supplements because they’re getting this charge of energy. It’s the gasoline or kerosene poisoning causing an adrenaline rush. They’re getting an adrenaline rush. That’s because the body will make hormones like adrenaline for emergency purposes. Because what is a hormone? It’s probably 60-80% fat, 15-20% protein and a small amount of carbohydrate structure. Now the body can use that to bind with poisons. So, you intake these poisons, you consume these poisons and all of a sudden your body rushes with adrenaline to try to save you from poisoning yourself to death. So every time somebody takes a supplement, it’s either entirely a chemical derivative or taken from a food that has been soaked in gasoline or kerosene. There is nothing safe about any supplement. Superfoods are a little different. They may be foods that are dry but, in my research with dry foods, you can’t digest them or very little. Why? Because they’re enzyme-inactive. Enzymes aren’t alive as most people think. Enzymes are protein structures. They can be active or inactive. It’s like you can have bubbly water or non-bubbly water and call the bubbly water alive and the other one not alive but it has nothing to do with life. It’s a chemical reaction. If you don’t have your enzymes active, you’re not going to be able to utilize the vitamins in it [in a food]. That’s also going to restrict your protein and fat use of whatever you’re eating. So, any dried food is going to be an inferior food. And, if you are talking about algae, you’re talking about vegetation and we don’t digest vegetation properly anyway. Then, if you dehydrate it, it’s just going to start becoming hydrated when it’s 19-20 hours into your digestive tract. And very little, I mean maybe 1/1000th of a gram, is ever digested of vegetation in the bowel. The bowel doesn’t digest anything but proteins and fats that feed the brain and nervous system. So, whole foods are the way to go. You can eat honey with superfoods and it will help digest them but still it’s going to take a while before they start hydrating and if it gets to the colon before you’ve begun to digest it properly, you’re not going to digest it.
F: What about protein powders?
A: Well, protein powders are made in the same way. What are they mostly using to get protein from these days, what do you read on the labels?
F: Whey and, I think, soy.
A: Soy… a hard bean. We’re talking about a rock-hard bean. How do they get that into a powder form and extract the protein from it and leave out the carbohydrate? They soak it in gasoline or kerosene. … into a soup. And then they dry it; they extract it - chemically or by process of heat - extract the protein from the carbohydrates and the fats. And, then they put it into a protein powder full of gasoline or kerosene.
F: The same with whey? I notice a lot body builders use whey.
A: Remember, whey is the liquid waste. So how do you get a powder from whey when it’s 99.99% liquid? They cook it at very high temperatures to get it to evaporate quickly and then they’ve got all these minerals on the bottom. And, there’s very little protein in whey. So, to me, it’s a false advertisement. Most of your protein stays in the milk curds. Very little protein is in the whey. What you’re getting is a lot of minerals with some protein.
F: Vitamin D?
A: … completely chemical. Let’s say to make vitamin D, they’ll take an oil, they’ll hydrogenate it to make sure everything is destroyed. There’s no bacteria in it or anything like that that can survive; they’ll ruin it, they’ll completely get rid of it. When they hydrogenate an oil, they turn it into plastic. It has the same molecular structure as plastic. So it’s a plastic oil. They subject that to radioactive material and call it vitamin D. It’s nothing like vitamin D at all. But they say, “Well, you’ve got fat on your skin, your body absorbs radiation from the sun into that oil – the fat on your skin, not oil - fat on your skin, that cholesterol, and makes vitamin D. So, if we take oil and subject it to radioactive material, we have vitamin D.” Hello? That’s the mentality of these people who just want to make money. It’s not vitamin D. Everything that is fortified with vitamin D is not true vitamin D. It’s a toxic - plastic oil subjected to radioactive material - a toxic substance. It clogs the lymphatic system, causes heart disease and clogging of the arteries with plastic oils. It causes multiple problems.
F: So, do vitamins have any beneficial use whatsoever?
A: If you’re talking about raw, unsalted butter, that can be a supplement because you’re concentrating the fat. You’ve separated most of the protein and the whey from it, so you have a concentrated fat that is a good supplement. Your vegetable juice is a good supplement. That’s a process, juicing, but because we don’t digest the cellulose but maybe 2-6%, 7-8% in some people; maybe 13% in some people who have eaten a vegetarian diet for a long time.
Part 2.
F: There are some companies that claim they produce supplements that say theirs are completely different from others, that they’re completely pure and completely healthy. Are they?
A: No. Two women in an audience asked me about one particular company. They use kerosene. Kerosene is natural so that’s what they use. That’s a natural supplement. I don’t care if your company grows the corn that they use or grows the beans that they use. They have to dissolve it into a soup in order to extract what they want to concentrate.
And there are only two things that laboratories use. No laboratory uses anything other than gasoline and kerosene. Kerosene because it’s natural is used for all natural supplements.
Those two women called the company and their attorneys called me on Monday and said, “You need to put an ad in the LA Times, the New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and Houston whatever-it-was Enquirer, I think because those are places I’ve lectured and told everybody that their supplements were not good. I said to the attorney, “Have you been to the laboratory?” He said, “No.” I said, “You need to visit the laboratory and see what they use to dissolve the stuff, the foods that you grow, to extract the concentrated nutrients that you want.” It would have been about $500,000 to place the front section, full-page ads they wanted.
I didn’t hear from them again. I know what laboratories use. I’ve been in many laboratories. I know what they use to dissolve the foods from which they extract those concentrated substances, those so-called concentrated nutrients. It’s all toxic. People are getting high off kerosene and gasoline. It’s an adrenaline rush from the gasoline and kerosene in the supplements, not from the food.
As I started to say before, vegetable juice is a good vitamin supplement. That’s why I tell people to have vegetable juice. We don’t digest the pulp, as I mentioned before in another interview. We digest maybe 2%, 6%, 8% in some people, of the pulp … maybe 13% in someone who has been a long-term vegetarian. But, if you take the juice from vegetables, you get concentrated vitamins, concentrated minerals and concentrated enzymes. So, there’s your all around vitamin supplement. For protein, just eat raw meats and raw dairy. You’re going to get plenty of protein from there. Protein powder is not going to be safe. Look at your body builders that do all that. If they stop working out, they sag. Look at you. Look at me. I don’t want to exercise at all. This is what I do on my computer [makes keyboard movements with fingers]. I never exercise and I’m solid. Because I eat raw meat, I don’t have to exercise. I would exercise, if I needed it. People who are in anxiety need to exercise because they have a lot of activity hormones. I’m a lazy person. I have no activity hormones, unless it comes to sex. Then, I’m motivated to exercise activity hormones. That’s it.
F: Thanks, Aajonus.
A: Thank you for being interested.
It is very easy to take the hot baths and eat properly. Reversing cancer is that easy if you know what you are doing and you understand it. You don’t have to have this vitamin supplement and that vitamin supplement and you hear all this stuff… iodine, iron… We are not plants. Plants eat rock. We don’t eat rock. We only digest minerals properly and utilize them properly when they are a composite of food – raw food.
And salt is one of the worst things a cancer patient – anybody – can do, next to cooking. Why is that? Because sodium is an explosive. It is more volatile than nitroglycerin. If you take pure sodium and put it into one block about the size of a football, it will take out New York City and all of its buildings – just one block that size. My father worked on… he was an inventor… he worked on the first bearing computer, he worked on jet engines for the military and General Electric. They were given 2 million dollars to make sodium into a weapon. Well, it was so volatile that just 1 1/2 degree temperature change would set it off. They couldn’t control it anywhere like nitroglycerin and they still don’t use nitroglycerin as a weapon because they can’t control it. Sodium is worse.
So what happens when salt… it has other minerals bound with it unless of course unless it is sodium chloride or sodium iodide which is manufactured. So that neutralizes it. While it is in your mouth you can hear it popping and you can hear it cutting into the mucus. When you gargle with it, it breaks down mucus. It is an explosive.
So what happens when it gets into the blood? Your body separates the sodium and all of a sudden it starts exploding. Now when a cell eats, it eats 93 to 117 nutrients – every nutrient on this planet – in a smorgasbord. And a cell opens by ionization and it absorbs that smorgasbord in and eats a balanced diet. When you use salt, even just two little bitty grains at a meal, you will kill 2 million red blood cells and make every cell in your blood deficient. It will break that molecule… it starts breaking up those clusters of smorgasbord and the cell may get anywhere from, 23 to 70 nutrients instead of 93 to 117. So your body goes under constant deficiency. because you use salt. Salt is the big way that the king and queen of England use to subjugate a lot of people for a very very long time. And the king and queen of England, that family, owns almost all of the salt manufacturing in the world. And it is not a good thing. Sure, it helps preserve food; it will help mummify you… of what… dead cells. What is cancer? … a collection of dead cells.
The excerpt above is from Aajonus – Remedy to Reverse Cancer .
A: As long as you eat enough meat, honey won't cause advanced glycation end products; there is only 10 % sugar in honey. The bees collect the honey and keep it at 92.8 degree F. As soon it goes up to 95 degrees, they abandon the upper hive, and go down further and keep fanning it. They will not eat the honey heated over 92.8 degrees unless ther're starving. Because it causes sugar reactions. Bees are already hyperactive enough, because that's what they live on - the honey/nectar. Even when they're eating the nectar, they vomit it first, let it break down with the enzymes and then eat it. That's what honey is, bee vomit. The bee has gone and collected the nectar then swallowed it. Its insulin-like substance mixes with it with all the enzymes, and then they go back to the hive and vomit it. They let it break down, and then they will go back and make a meal of it, because it has to break down. So for us, its pre-digested nectar. And it has an insulin-like substance in it, which helps convert it to enzymes for digestion and protein. That's why if you eat a lot of honey without eating meat, you are going to cause a problem - causing a protein deficiency - and have sugar type reactions. If it's heated you will have sugar type reactions, because it destroys that enzymatic property that it has in it.
Q: Can you keep the honey in the sun?
A: No, the bees don't keep it in the sun, they keep it out of the sun.
Q: How do we know if the honey we buy is not from the abandoned honey that was over heated.
A: Some of it will be, if its from the desert. If its a summer honey, you better believe it will be. Sage is a winter honey, cultivated and collected in the spring, so that type will be OK. Citrus is all winter and spring honeys.
Q: Whats a summer honey?
A: Alfalfa, and clover.
Q: So basically avoid the summer honeys?
A: Yes, not all of it will be advanced heated, but some of it will be. .
Q: When you travel, do you take a lot of honey with you?
A: Yes, I take a quart, I mix it with my butter, or I will have some hits of it with my meat, for the enzymes to digest meat. I had the vagotomy, all of the nerves to the stomach were severed, so I still need help in digestion. Everybody needs those enzymes anyways throughout the body; the unheated honey is helpful for anyone. But if you have candida, the honey can cause more itching, so they need to eat it with butter.
Q: How much honey should you eat a day?
A: Like I said in the recipe book 6 Tablespoons for a pound of meat. 6 Tablespoons of honey is a lot a day, 3 oz of honey a day. I love honey by itself and a lot of people go for what my son Jeff had in the hospital. When you are in a coma you need 50/50 but if you are not in a coma you should have 7 Tablespoons of butter to 1 Tablespoon of honey. You can also have a Tablespoon of cream in your vegetable juice but don' t put the cream in until you are ready to drink it. The minerals combine with the cream. We are talking about the honey for just that period of time.
Q: People say the planet has been cleared of all the good minerals, is that true?
A: These are people that are vegetarians, that are trying to blame the lack of nutrients in the soil for their lack of health - just like with skin cancer. Instead of blaming the diet for it, they blame the sun. If the sun was the problem, every black person on earth would have skin cancer. The tribes in Africa have never even heard of skin cancer. My skin is fairly light right now, when I eat butter and no cream, I will get dark. If I eat lots of cream it will go lighter even with sun. And cooked foods will make you lighter skinned. That's why black people that are on a cooked diet are getting lighter and lighter the older they get.
Q: What can you do to improve your soil?
A: Take all of your food remains, including meat scraps; when I had a garden, I would take fish scraps. We're talking about mineral concentrations. I go to a fish market and get the scraps, and I put it into a food processor after chopping it up and then into a blender, blend it with water, and pour into the soil. Stay away from using seaweed from the ocean because it will dry out the soil and is hard to break down.
Soil organisms feed on the protein, rain dissolves rock so they can absorb the minerals, but the soil bacteria and their excrements are responsible for the taste of your food and the heartiness of the food. That's why the agricultural industry gives lots of extra nutrients. Liquid nitrogen is made from sterilized urine from cows for fertilizer. It still works but will damage the soil eventually and the trees, and they will get harder and harder, and then they will start rotting when they are hard and the branches will break.
Q: What about selenium?
A: When you are on a raw diet you don't need concentrations of minerals, you just need a trace amount, but when you are on a cooked diet you need lots of extra minerals like calcium if you are eating pasteurized milk - because when heated to 141 degrees you have lost half of your calcium - your phosphorus is damaged at 98 degrees F.
Q: Why is this not common knowledge?
A: It would be common knowledge if you had a government that was responsible to the people and not the food industry, but you have to take a look at Dole in office. Dole what? Dole pineapples, Dole bananas, Dole cereals and everything. You have to take a look at who is in power, the people in power are the people who own these food industries, own agricultures, we have Bush in, what does he do? He starts a war, why? Because his family owns military companies, they make the machines and bombs, and if goes over there and has one bombing spree, he can spend $30 million dollars in one bombing and all the profits goes to his families pockets. So the more bombing he does the richer he gets. Also they're into oil. Our military uses 160,000 barrels a day of oil. That's our government, that's your money and my money paying for this military, that puts the profits in his pockets - whoever is in power that's why it happens. And not enough of us have enough of the information to disseminate. I've been threatened a few times, they haven't killed me yet, but I'm not growing fast, but if my books start becoming best sellers, I might be in trouble, but that's the way it goes, that's the route I've chosen. You know the other side is beautiful, theres no pain, no suffering, except for emotional, and that's guilt; the only thing that exists on the other side that I remember is guilt, that's the only pain there is. You know, guilt, for having created suffering, that's the only thing. So its beautiful over there, this has been a hard life, you know, so me passing away would be no loss. You know, for my experience, but I'd like to have all my information out there before I die. So when I finish all 5 of my books, then I won't be concerned.
As the radiation fallout cloud moves along the Eastward-bound jetstream to USA and Canada from Japan, the flurry of information on radiation protection has moved with it. Most of them focused on protecting the thyroid with an iodinesupplement, that is, iodide or iodate. If you will investigate the Chernobyl crises of 25 years ago, the consumption of iodine did not prevent thyroid cancer, leukemia or bone cancers but promoted them. Blocking radioactive iodine from thyroids sends it to bones and bone marrow, increasing risk of leukemia and bone cancers.
Appraisal of iodineAny form of iodine that is not a natural part of fresh food is oxide, that is, it is rock. That includes any iodine supplement, even if the iodine were taken from a food source. Once it is processed into an isolated mineral, it is again rock, not food, whether powder, pill, or liquid. Animals cannot digest or utilize rock inter-cellularly, only plants can.
All iodine is radioactive isotope to varying degrees, not only iodine 131. That is why all forms of iodine, once exposed to radiation are radioactively charged or as long as 55,000 years. Iodine 131 may be radioactively charged for as long as 500,000 years.
When animals consume iodine supplements, it collects as mineral deposits somewhere in the body. Most often, I have found it in intestines, nervous system, brain, bones and bone marrow. If it were true and iodine supplements protected the thyroid, trading thyroid cancer for blood and/or bone cancer seems ill-advisedto me. It is easier to affect thyroid therapy than bone and bone-marrow therapy. The thyroid is close to the skin but bone-marrow and bone are very difficult to affect directly because lymphatic circulation into those areas is extremely limited and slow. Blood-flow into those areas is also limited.
Having experienced iodine radiation treatments along with mechanical radiation treatments for metastasized stomach cancer, and having suffered the side effects of blood and bone cancers caused by radiation treatments, I can tell you that radiation-poisoning is terrible.
I suffered constant nausea, vomit and often diarrhea for years following those treatments. For my body to try and counter the radioactive iodine, my body ate its own bones to obtain the minerals calcium, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus to neutralize radioactive iodine and other radioactively charged minerals such as barium. I lost all of the bone around my teeth. My teeth dangling in my gums. When I closed my jaws and pressed teeth together, I bled profusely. I had up to 2 transfusions weekly. I had to drink all of my food.Everything had to be made into liquid and consumed through large straws. After one year of consuming lots of raw dairy, my mandible bones restored and I could chew with very little gum bleeding. However, my gums remained purple (indications of radiation-poisoning) for decades and bleeding continued duringteeth-brushing to this day, although very little, 43 years after radiation treatments. I suffered other radiation-poisoning symptoms for years.Later, I was instructed by alternative doctors to consume colloidal iodine supplement. I did and it caused nausea, impotence and anxiety, the same symptoms as radiation-poisoning. I stopped after 10 days. Iridologically, the supplemental iodine appeared in the areas relating to my stomach and intestines which I associated with nausea. Our bodies try to dump many industrial chemical toxins into stomach because our bodies use HCL to neutralize many toxins. Nausea causes and is an indication of HCL-production if your vagus nerve is attached to your stomach.
Non-bioactively bound iodine, that is, iodine that is not a natural part of fresh raw food is toxic to varying degrees. It is rarely ever beneficial. The risks far outweigh any benefits except to those promoting and selling iodine supplements.Generally, foods from the sea contain the most iodine, followed by other animal foods, and then plant foods. Of all foods seaweed, like kelp, is the most famous source of natural iodine however, humans digest about 2% kelp because it is a hard cellulose-based substance. Therefore, humans get almost no iodine from kelp. When it cooked, humans can derive much more from it but all of the minerals are cauterized and relatively free-radical. Raw eggs and raw dairy products are the best sources, followed by raw meats.
The USA government obviously wants us sick and/or dead. The HHS, FDA and CDC have campaigned against empirically and scientifically-proved-to-be-healthful raw milk for decades. Why? Is it because they know its high mineral concentration and soothing, nerve-protecting fats counteracts just about every toxin on earth? Their scientifically unsupported claims that raw diary isharmful and dangerous are as prejudicial and unfounded as any support of Apartheid was. If raw dairy were harmful, it would not have helped heal me from the myriad of diseases I suffered. I would not be alive and well today.Raw dairy is 60% of my diet. The Masai, Samburu and Fulani thrived for thousands of years eating predominantly raw milk products. If raw dairy were dangerous and harmful, they would have been extinct thousands of years ago.
We must be as logical and sensible at all times or we will fall prey to pharmaceutical chemistry-based nonsense. If the risks of environmental contamination are bearing down on us, we must be more resolute and cautious.
Remedies for Radiation Contamination Here are the things that effectively helped me reduce radioactive toxins and symptoms in my body: Organic no-salt raw cheeses eaten frequently will help absorb and neutralize free-radical radioactive minerals; aloe vera gel eaten directly from the plant (do not eat green skin) helps soothe and heal radiation burn; oranges and avocados eaten together help neutralize radiation; pineapple and no-salt raw cheeses eaten together help dissolve cellular radiation damage and harness byproducts; papaya eaten with no-salt raw cheeses helps prevent scarring; no-salt raw butter eaten with no-salt raw cheeseshelps prevent radioactive minerals from entering cells; no-salt raw butter eaten with unheated honey helps digestion and healing; and one ounce of raw milk consumed once hourly helps protect intestines and nerves.
— What do you do at a sushi bar?
Aajonus: I just get sashimi. Sashimi means just the raw fish.
— And what about seaweed?
Aajonus: I don’t eat the seaweed. They grind that turnip or jicama or something like that. So I just eat the raw stuff. But other people, I have them eat the rice.
— What about seaweed in general? We’ve been eating a lot of seaweed in salads.
Aajonus: Well, seaweed is very difficult to digest. Again, it’s a cellulose molecule, and it’s even more complex than earth grown vegetables because it has to be able to stand up to salt water, and our digestive juices aren’t really going to break it down. The closest we can get to even breaking down any of it is algae. And that can cause a very imbalanced system because of the way they dehydrate it.
— So you are not in favor of chlorella and spirulina etc.?
Aajonus: No, I found it very difficult on the liver and on people’s systems. Eat the fish that eat the seaweeds and algae.
— And so instead of trying to get your minerals out of seaweed get it out of raw oysters?
Aajonus: That’s it. And scallops. Clams, raw clams. Any of the raw fishes. — Do you feel it’s necessary to have any kind of mineral supplement? You know all these liquid minerals out of Utah, etc. Aajonus: You will get a toxic effect if you are on it for more than five months.
— How is it toxic?
Aajonus: It starts drying out the system because it needs fats to work with it, and then you are moving toward cancer or cirrhosis of the tissues. As the minerals start to build up they start pulling out fats, and water, too. So you have something that is constantly leaching water, leaching fat, leaching everything, and your body dehydrates and develops cirrhosis and then cancer. There are some people who crave seaweed and I tell them to have it when they go have sushi. I know they are not going to digest much of it, so I say go ahead and eat it.
Sydney Singer:
— How do you feel about herbal tinctures, decoctions, etc.?
Aajonus: Well, I used to do things like that to stop a flu, and then I realized how flus were beneficial, I stopped doing it and I just helped people to detox well and to heal well, and not to stop the flu. Because stopping the flu stops the body cleaning itself.
— So, someone would just eat the way he normally eats?
Aajonus: No, I would have them eat anywhere from four to seven smoothies a day. So that’s anywhere from eight or nine to eighteen eggs a day. You blend the eggs with banana, cream if you have it, honey, or just banana and egg or orange juice and egg.
— And the reasoning behind that for flu?
Aajonus: Eggs are one of the most powerful detoxifiers. They bind very quickly with the toxins. As they come out, they can arrest them. The extra cream is even better because it soothes the tissues. The banana allows a lot of potassium to soothe the burning effect. And also a lot of lactic acid may build up and it helps relax any irritation.
— And what about addressing the actual viral element?
Aajonus: The virus is never the problem. The virus is there to break down, to dissolve the matter. So the virus is your friend. And I always tell my female clients this – do not stop a cold. It is your natural face lift. And it’s a cheap one. Of course it won’t last as long as if you go for a face lift.
— So the idea is that the viruses, the bacteria, the pathogenic microorganisms are flourishing because they have toxic material to feed on.
Aajonus: Correct.
"Everyone everywhere advises that bruises, injuries and pain should be treated with ice to reduce swelling. Firstly, consider that swelling increases circulation of nutrients to the area to cleanse damaged tissue, including cells, and heal the area. What sense does it make to reduce swelling when reducing swelling reduces nutrients and consequently reduces cleansing and healing.
Most often, when swelling and nutrients are reduced by applying ice, blood clots and scarring result. Scarring is dead mummified cells that are useless for creating energy and activity. Dead cells are dead bricks in the walls. Scar tissue reduces flexibility, agility and stamina. Most athletes who sustain an injury apply ice packs to reduce swelling and numb pain. They never heal properly and sustain multiple injuries to the same area. Many athletes’ careers end because of such improperly cleansed and poorly healed injuries. Besides poor diets, their careers are cut short by the application of ice packs.
Applying HEAT is the best remedy for bruises, injuries and pain. Heat promotes relaxation of bones, cartilage, tendons, arteries, veins, muscles, nerves, connective tissue and skin, allowing even more nutrients into the area for increased and rapid healing. Heat also reduces pain that comes from pressure on the nerves in a tense area of the body, incurring swelling.
Once the area is heated, surrounding tissues relax and pain reduces considerably. Relaxing, stretching and expanding the space between tissues with heat, relieves pain. When applying heat, sometimes tendons, cartilage and ligaments take 5-15 minutes to relax and pain may temporarily increase until those tissues relax and expand. However, usually 85% of pain is relieved within 15 minutes of heat application.
However, if pain does not reduce to bearable, it is okay to apply ice for 1 minute or less without causing blood clots. Then reapply hot-water bottle. Alternating heat and ice may be effective as long as the application of ice is less than 1 minute.
Since heating pads produce very high electromagnetic fields that alter the molecular structure of animal cells, heating pads should not be used. Microwave packs deliver radiation with their heat and alter the molecular structure of animal cells and should not be used.
The safe heating apparatus is a rubber hot-water bottle. Non-rubber, synthetic hot-water bottles have less integrity and easily burst, wetting couches, lounges, chairs and beds. Rubber hot water bottles last for many years. Since new rubber has a strong odor that many people think unpleasant, placing the hot-water bottle outside in the sun for about 3 weeks reduces or eliminates rubber odor.
The temperature of hot water bottles for contact with bruises, injuries and pain should not make skin feel burned. If you want to use hot-water-bottle heat throughout the night, heat will generate longer the hotter the hot-water bottle but wrap the hot-water bottle in a towel or flannel pillow case to prevent burn. Bruises, injuries and pain that receive heat will cleanse and heal properly and quickly without scarring if the diet is health-giving. If not on a health-giving diet, heat will still improve cleansing and healing."

Abrasions, Fractures and Breaks
My following testimonial gives details about what to do after a serious accident in a foreign country, including how to handle hospitals and doctors.
March 9, 2007, I decided to drive a heavy Harley Davidson motorcycle in a small town in Thailand. I had not ridden such a large motorcycle since 1968. I thought that I would be safe in a small town but a group of 5 tourists stepped into the street about 20 feet in front of me without looking first. There were no intersection, crossing, drive or other signs but they crossed the street carelessly.
There were cars on my right, so I could not pull to that lane and avoid hitting the pedestrians. Although I was traveling only 18 miles per hour, I did not have the experience to know how to avoid hitting them. I slammed on the brakes and skidded sideways toward them. The motorcycle fell onto the pavement on top of my right leg.
The bike did not have a leg bar to prevent injury, so when the motorcycle hit pavement, my leg was caught between the cycle and pavement. The cycle pulled my leg with it while the pavement worked opposite the momentum and pulled my thigh and hip away from my lower leg.
My right tibia was split from the knee to mid-shin. The backside of the tibia bone had a wedged space about 1/8-inch wide. Skin, muscle and bone were scraped by the asphalt from my right palm, wrist, forearm, elbow, upper arm, back, outside knee, lower leg, ankle and foot. I was lying on the street in excruciating pain for about 15 minutes.
The pain was relentless to the point that I thought my leg had been torn from me at my knee. It took me about 1.5 minutes after the accident before I looked to see if my leg was attached to my body. It was, but looked mangled at the knee.
I refused to go to hospital. I paid a canopy-covered pickup taxi driver to transport me to my hotel. I cleaned my wounds with lime juice and coated them with coconut cream and honey. I did not have any gauze to cover and protect them so I left them open to air. About twp hours after the accident, the pain had not subsided. Normally, I would not have sought medical help but I thought that my knee had been dislocated because it was mangled and excruciatingly painful. I went to the hospital to have my leg realigned.
At the hospital, physicians refused to do anything until I had x-rays. I agreed to only two x-rays, top and outside views of the knee and connecting bones. After x-ray analysis, doctors said that they needed to reunite the two tibia segments and pin them together. Portions of the top of the tibia broke, splintered and logged into the femur joint concave. Doctors said that if they did not perform surgery and remove the fragments, I would never walk.
Tendons on both sides of my knee had been torn completely from the bone at opposite ends of each tendon, causing lumps the size of golf balls. Doctors said that they had to reattach them or I would never be able to lift my leg at the knee. The chief osteosurgeon planned to cut the outside of my right leg from the ankle to the hip, including muscles, reunite the tibia and pin it with 6-10 metal screws, scrape the tibia bone fragments from the femur knee joint, reattach the knee tendons and stitch the leg incision.
They wanted to call in a plastic surgeon to graft skin from my buttocks and left thigh to my hand, arm, elbow and leg. Since my leg was not dislocated, I declined medical assistance, saying I was on a diet that could heal it without surgery. The main surgeon winced at my insane-to-him statement. I told them that if I could not walk in 6 weeks, I would return for their help. That placated the chief surgeon because he was certain that I would need help. I did not request nor did they offer to apply a cast.
I returned to the hotel and ate a slightly different diet regimen. Instead of enjoying several small portions of different unripe fruits for my once-daily fruit meal, to help bone-healing I made a mixture of 1 cup pineapple, 3/4 cup coconut cream, 1/2 cup honey and 1 cup raw milk. I drank some of that every 3-4 hours, eating about 2 tablespoons of cheese prior to each time I drank the mixture. That regimen helped cleanse and restructure my bones and naturally mend my tendons. Plus, I drank 1 quart of raw milk daily. Because I was in the tropics and did not use air-conditioning, my meat intake was less than I eat while I'm in temperate climates. I found that most people need less meat in tropical climates if drinking enough milk. My girlfriend shopped and prepared my food for me, and helped tend my wounds.
For my abrasions where skin, muscle and a little bone were scraped from my right palm, arm, back, leg and foot, I gently applied lime juice for 3 minutes. That stung terribly. Without rinsing the lime juice from the wound, I gently applied a thin layer of coconut cream. That also stung. After that, I or my girlfriend gently applied a layer of unheated honey which also stung. We moistened cotton gauze with coconut cream and coated one side with 1/32-inch layer of raw butter to prevent my wounds from drying and gauze from sticking to my many abrasions. We loosely wrapped the leg with an Ace bandage.
I experienced severe pain regularly. Any movement increased pain. I used hot water bottles to increase circulation which increased swelling and ensured increased nutrient flow to injuries. The heat also allowed every thing to relax. Pain subsided but never disappeared. Sometimes I woke to such excruciating pain that I immersed myself in a very warm bath that relaxed my entire body and I could cope with the pain relatively easily. Many times I ate unheated honey/butter mixture to reduce pain. Other times, I ate about 2 inches of unripe banana with 2 tablespoons raw butter to reduce pain.
I urinated in bottles so that I would not have to travel to the bathroom. When I went to the bathroom, I traveled from my bed to the bathroom door in a wheelchair, and from the door to the toilet or bathtub with crutches. I had to sit at one end of the tub, lift my injured leg with my hands, place my leg onto the side of the tub, adjust my body, then lift my leg with my hands and ease it into the tub. For about 2 weeks, the pain was sometimes excruciating.
Several times daily, usually at night, I awoke moaning or screaming. Three times I cried. The only pain relievers I consumed were honey/butter mixture and banana butter combination that usually took effect in minutes. When experiencing excruciating pain, most of the time I immediately made the challenging journey to the bathtub then immersed myself in relaxing and pain-relieving warm water.
Because my right hip and buttock had sustained major bruises, I mainly lied on my left buttocks and hip. I kept my leg raised with pillows, especially one under my knee to reduce stress at the knee. Having to sustain all of my body’s prone weight on the bed every minute that I was not in the bathtub, my left buttock and hip quickly became very sore. Because of that, for the first 2 weeks, I spent about 6 hours daily, 1-2 hours at a time in the bathtub with sea salt and 2 cups coconut cream that made my body buoyant, taking most of the pressure off my prone body and almost completely relieving my agony. Occasionally, I sat in my wheel chair for up to 30 minutes. After several weeks, I sat in my wheel chair up to 2 hours working on my computer at a desk.
Because raw milk was hard to get and coconut cream was very easy to acquire and cheap in Thailand, I used coconut cream. In the USA, I would have used raw milk in the bath instead of coconut cream.
An interesting phenomenon began the day after the accident. Gradually over the next 5 days, my large right thigh muscles considerably diminished to the size of my calve. From my ankle to mid-thigh, my right leg correspondingly hardened like bone that provided a natural cast, protecting my leg.
Baths and changing bandagesWithin 10 days my tendons had completely re-grown and reconnected. However, my greatest pain continued to be at the points where the tendons had torn from my knee. Pain traveled from one injured sight to another. On the tenth day, I was able to leave the hotel and walked with crutches without exerting any weight on the leg. On the 12th day, I convinced the hotel owner that she could reduce the chlorine in the pool without causing algae problems to pool surfaces. She agreed and I walked at the deepest end of the pool where my body was so buoyant that my leg received very little pressure from my bodyweight.
After five days the water was green with algae without affecting the pool surfaces but the hotel owner resumed full chlorine treatment. At that 16th-day, I was able to walk with crutches across the street and sandy beach to the sea. I walked about one mile in the sea twice daily at 7 am and 5:30 pm, about 1.5 hours each, exercising my leg. At that time, I had only about 19% body fat (I like to maintain 22-25%). From the accident, I lost about 15 pounds. Nineteen percent body fat was enough to make my body buoyant, reducing my body weight in water to about 1/4. I experienced pain but not severely.
Within 6 weeks, I walked on land without crutches with some pain mainly in the knee. After 6.5 weeks in that hotel room, I returned to the USA. I resumed my larger meat consumption and drank up to 1.5 quarts of raw milk daily. Within 2 months, my body fat level was up to 22%. If I had let the doctors commit surgery, they would have cut my leg from the ankle to the hip, cut away muscle, and severed connective tissue and other tendons to get into the knee socket.
I have seen many people with similar surgeries. The leg on which surgery had been performed is thinner than the other, with atrophied muscles and huge scars. Those people and others who have had less knee/leg surgery than was intended for me have not completely healed after 7 - 25 years. Since I refused surgeries, the only work my body had to do was cleanse and repair the damage, not recover from unnecessary invasive surgeries that cause 2-5 times more damage than the original injuries. The natural cast that my body seemed to form from my thigh muscles gradually softened and my thigh muscles returned correspondingly.
It has been one year since the accident. Although I cannot completely straighten my right leg at the knee, three weeks ago on a beach on Antigua island, I sprinted about 200 yards painlessly. If I run up steps 2 steps at a time, I experience a little pain in the knee. At my present rate of repair, my leg should be able to completely straighten within 4 months more.
There are many people who claim that energy work can cure anything. What is your experience?
Aajonus Vonderplanitz:
I have experienced favorable and harmful energy therapists through my journey to optimal health. I have seen many people further damage themselves because they were told (and believed, without wisdom) that energy is more important than structures in this reality. That is, they were told energy is more important than the physical, including diet. They were told that if they controlled their energy-producing thoughts, they could eat anything without harm.
Every energy worker and "master" who had disseminated that rhetoric did not prove it to me with their experience. None of them surmounted health problems. All of them had worsened health problems while adhering to that concept. Even the life-long- committed vegetarian Dali Lama dropped his vegetarian dogma and began eating meat when his health deterioration began to affect his daily functions in his advancing years. Health-related miraculous events are exceptions and far removed from normal.
I have been health conscious as a health researcher for over 40 years. I experimented with all sorts of energetic modalities. They were relatively ineffective in making radical changes toward better health and never created homeostasis because they did not permanently change the structures (cells) that contain and generate energy.
I found several energetic practitioners who mitigated my pain and suffering for up to 3 days but without cure. I was very grateful for their help. If I were in pain that I could not control on my own with diet and heat, I would again seek their help.
Yes, everything is made of electricity and light however, cells are GROWN over time to hold, convey and generate bio-active energies. On this physical plane, without those structures (cells) there is no live self-sustaining manifestation, containment, conveyance or generation of those energies.
I have known thousands of people who had been misled to believe that energies are more important than cells. Acting on that belief resulted in no cures at all. It does not matter which came first, energy or structure (cells). Once structures are formed, it is relatively improbable that normal life and spiritual energies can immediately restructure our cells. Time and growth are prevalent in our reality.
Energies that can immediately alter physical matter are often those that can disrupt natural flows and destroy. I have found that man-made mechanical energy devices generate non-bio-energies. Those energies are usually in a large or small manner destructive to living cells. I suggest that we consume raw foods and absorb sunshine to provide everything that helps us re-energize ourselves, our cells.
The following is a miraculously natural event from Mother Earth's kitchen of therapies that I discovered through trial and error. Renee Bentall, 47 years-young at the time, caught one of her index fingers in a grinder. It was ground including bone. Not even one cell could be saved and reattached.
I advised Ms. Bentall to apply lime juice first to open wound and surrounding area. Lime juice surrounds particles and dead cells of flesh, blood, lymph and nerves so that white blood cells would not amass in the area that could complicate healing and re-growth. I suggested that she apply coconut cream over the lime juice, and apply unheated honey over the coconut cream, then lay a very thin slice of fresh beef or buffalo steak over her finger's open wound. I asked her to cover the meat with a piece of coconut-cream-moistened gauze to prevent the meat from drying and contracting her wound. I instructed her to place a piece of plastic the size of the gauze to cover the gauze and prevent the gauze from drying, then tape it all loosely with adhesive gauze.
The following photos recorded her finger's healing progress while Renee' adhered to my Primal Diet and followed my advice for her finger.

Aajonus Vonderplanitz:
When my father reached complete growth maturity, his standing height was 5'6". I remember when he was 64 years of age, he stated that gravity had shrunk him almost 2" since when he had entered college. At his death at 92.6 years of age, he was 5'1.5". He shrunk 4.5" in the last 73 years of his life. My mother's standing height was 5'4.1" when she completed growth maturity. At her death at 91.7 years of age, she was 4'11.5". She shrunk 4.6" in the last 71 years of her life.
My standing height at growth maturity was 5'7.6". One year after radiation and chemo treatments at 22 years of age, my standing height was 5'6.9". The medical cancer treatments/poisoning caused a half- inch height-reduction in one year. Last year at a Life Screening testing-site, my standing height was 5'7.8" at 64 years of age. Rather than shrink, I grew .7" in the later 42 years of my life. Although most of that gain was recovery from medical-treatment-related deterioration, I regained it plus .2".
I believe that the scientific theory that EVERYONE shrinks through her/his lifetime due to the constant force of gravity on the body applies to people eating foods that fail to supply complete nutrition. It is not gravity that causes people to shrink but poor nutrition.

I began eating raw meat a year ago, and I would say about 85% has been red meat, the rest fish and fowl. In Asheville there are some very nice local farms that sell grass fed beef, so I've been living almost exclusively on that. After listening to a presentation by Dr. Mercola, I was concerned about the iron levels
Aajonus Vonderplanitz:
Dr. Mercola speaks from a theoretical view rather than empirical. That theory has little basis in reality. Several healthy tribes eat almost exclusively raw red meat and do not have iron problems. An iron problem can develop when eating a lot of cooked red meat because much of the iron is rendered "free-radical" because of the cooking process. Often, the free radical iron can bind with bioactive iron and cause a bioactive iron deficiency and toxic free radical iron level. Also consider that much of the absorbed free-radical iron that is not properly isolated in fat rusts in the body. That further causes toxic excessive iron problems.
Also, if our bodies try to discard contaminated free-radical iron deposits, a high toxic iron level will show up in blood and possibly urine and feces. Raw meat-eating may help our bodies detoxify toxic iron deposits but does not cause toxic iron levels.
High consumption of red meat, however, could be a problem for hyperactive individuals who do not exercise enough because red meat often stimulates adrenaline production which can cause irritability and hyperactivity. In such a case, fish and fowl are preferable.
