No one wants to rewrite their theories, re-evaluate their belief systems or admit they were wrong. Scientific understanding thus only progresses at the rate that leaders of conventional science retire or die. Thank goodness they do, because when that happens, they take their old, distorted belief systems with them, thereby making room for the new understanding and belief systems of the next generation of scientists. |

The primary reasons for this have to do with the current cultural belief systems that have developed over the last couple of generations; cultural belief systems that have become ingrained in each of us and greatly influence the food and lifestyle choices the majority of us make, usually without consciously thinking about or being aware of the short and long term ramifications. Those who are aware of their poor nutritional habits and continue them anyway, often do so because they feel powerless to do anything about them. |

Thank goodness they do, because when that happens, they take their old, distorted belief systems with them, thereby making room for the new understanding and belief systems of the next generation of scientists. Science thus marches forward slowly, not on a schedule conducive to breakthroughs or true scientific research, but more along one that is dictated by the retirement of old guard defenders of outdated scientific theory. |

It is simply incredible how intelligence and medical logic have been thrown out the window for blind belief systems that more than equal the kind that believed the world was flat.
How does magnesium impact each stage of development and bring us to either a longer life, or a more peaceful death? How do we accept this gift of life and drink of its benefits? These are questions we have endeavored to answer in this book because of
Death the ever present need our bodies have for magnesium for proper functioning. |

Ego is the enemy of science innovation
As you may have guessed, egos are a big part of the problem in all of this, because it is the ego that prevents people from challenging their current belief systems and adopting new ideas that require them to change. It's often said that college professors hate to rewrite their courses, and I think that's a good description of what's occurring on a much larger scale here.
No one wants to rewrite their theories, re-evaluate their belief systems or admit they were wrong. |

Many manufacturers and academic "herbal authorities" would have you believe that only standardized herbal products work and that all herbs should be standardized, but this is disingenuous and more about marketing and belief systems than fact. The reality is that less than 10 percent of the standardized products in the marketplace are standardized to the known active constituents of the herbs involved.
There are actually two types of standardization. The first is true standardization, in which a definite phytochemical or group of constituents is known to have activity. |

They have the mathematics to support their imagination, and they have expanded their belief systems. Yet they can say that this is the way reality must be, because the science and the math confirm that this is the way it must be!
Intent plays a big part in how your work is conducted. Please define intent and describe how it is utilized in your system.
Intent is the energetic foundation for manifesting the substance and structure of your beliefs into observable reality. You've never seen a house built without a blueprint; basically, intent is your blueprint for building that house. |

Nutrition
The goods news is that there are numerous nutritional influences related to endometriosis. This means we can take an active part in prevention and management of the condition. |

I help them deconstruct and then reconstruct their belief systems. This is a necessary first step toward going beyond one's limited reality. You will learn how to do this for yourself in this book. It requires some effort but it is well within your reach.
Everyone thinks they are living in the "real world," but this is rarely true. Over the course of this book, you will learn that you are living in a box determined by your brain and your mental conditioning, and you will discover the tools to free yourself from the limitations of that box. |

Remember, insights are a set of belief systems. They are different with the Jungians and the Freudians. What a therapist tells the patient is often part of his own apperceptive mass, of his own beliefs that the patient must adopt. Insights are not neutral; they are multi-determined. There is a theoretical frame of reference behind them, a system of beliefs, which is inculcated into the patient. Often, the cognitive therapist is using words to activate the patient's left prefrontal area, thereby strengthening the defense. |
| The number and type of belief systems is limitless. As long as beliefs are not anchored in oneself and in one's feelings, they can take off and encompass all sorts of delusional notions. When separated from other aspects of memory (the disconnection), the prefrontal cortex can soar into the delusional stratosphere without boundary. |
| If we cannot, then we adopt belief systems. If we can block it out with drink and drugs, so be it. If we cannot, we again seek out beliefs. It is all evolutionary. We obey the obdurate commands of the brain's evolution.
The trajectory of feeling is circumscribed and follows evolution from deep brainstem to right limbic to right prefrontal cortex, finally to the left prefrontal cortex.
Even young children can take drugs to calm themselves long before they are capable or organizing a belief system. |

Most of the patients had been prayed for by a number of groups from different religions and disparate belief systems. Even Benson's Christian study employed different Christian sects, which do not share identical beliefs. It may be uncomfortable for some groups to be prayed for by people who do not share their views about the divine.
As Marilyn Schlitz pointed out, none of the clinical trials made use of what scientists call "ecological validity." This means that the trials were not designed to model what happens in real life. |

Rossi believes that the ubiquity of healing practices across time occurs because, "Healers in many different cultures developed and utilized many different worldviews and belief systems to deal with essentially the same question: 'How can we use human consciousness, psychological experiencing, and our perception of free will to communicate with our bodies in ways that facilitate healing and wellbeing?'"62
When we grasp the enormous opportunities for altering our genetic expression offered by changes of consciousness, we reclaim responsibility for our wellbeing and give ourselves options. |

Edgar Mitchell's lightning-bolt experience while in space had left hairline cracks in a great number of his belief systems. But what bothered Ed most about the experience he had in outer space was the current scientific explanation for biology and particularly consciousness, which now seemed impossibly reductive. Despite what he'd learned in quantum physics about the nature of the universe, during his years at MIT, it seemed that biology remained mired in a 400-year-old view of the world. |

My first request is that patients and their families eliminate from their vocabulary, from their thinking, from their most basic belief systems, the phrase "This little bit can't hurt." If you have retained only one fact from my explanations of the science behind this program, I hope it is this: that just a little bit of forbidden food—fats, dairy products, oils, animal proteins— can hurt, and will. |

She got into all sorts of belief systems and cults as an adult to ward off the feeling of impending death and, above all, to explain the unexplainable. She was, by any standard, a frail human being. She was imprinted by deep terror and the constant activation of brainstem mechanisms.
What does a fetus do when faced with trauma? It reacts viscerally. If a person has had this kind of trauma, he will have a predisposition to go on acting viscerally for the rest of his life. He then develops stomach problems, colitis, ulcers, cramping, and breathing problems, and doesn't know why. |

Discard the outdated philosophy of conventional medicine
The whole point of this exploration is that if you are going to be healthy, you have to start by shattering old dysfunctional belief systems that have been pounded into your head by the media and mainstream medicine. You have to replace those with new beliefs that serve you better.
It is your choice what you wish to believe. |

It invents and promotes cultural fears, beliefs and perceptions. It has nothing whatsoever to do with bringing people useful news and information. Instead, it is almost entirely focused on getting people to believe what the folks in charge want them to believe.
The current news about the housing bubble, for example, is all designed to delay the coming collapse of both the global real estate market and the U.S. stock market (not to mention the U.S. dollar). |

As a result, it never changes the behavior, the belief systems or the lifestyle habits of a person.
Not surprisingly, people who undergo cosmetic surgery instead of addressing their core beliefs and behavior almost always experience worsening health following the surgery. They end up with results that are far worse than what they started with. When certain fat cells are surgically removed from the abdominal region through liposuction, for example, the fat has to be stored somewhere, and so it goes to places where other fat cells still remain. |

So, The Sunfood Diet acts like a battering ram crumbling away the stagnated belief systems of your mind. It allows you to grow in new directions you never would have predicted. You will be ready to try new things and to test new approaches to life's daily challenges.
As we learned in Lesson 4: Beliefs, we do not know what life really is; we only know how we represent life to ourselves. When you naturalize your diet, you automatically tune into a different energy band of life. You allow more information from your higher self to penetrate your conscious mind. |
| The world we think we see is only a view, a collective description of the world that we create through our belief systems. Accepting this fact seems to be one of the most empowering things one can do.
The "reality" of our world is not as real, or as "out there," as we believe it is. Reality is only a description. That which is held in our minds as the real world is merely a description of the world; a description that has been developing within us from our first moments. Overcome the illusion - the world may be a far different place than we believe now. |
| This toxicity comes through diet, negative thinking, poor quality relationships and disempowering belief systems. Detoxification ("letting go") at all levels heals all things.
The Mucous Lining
Your entire digestive tract and breathing apparatus is lined with a very sensitive, naturally transparent membrane. This mucous lining becomes irritated on a diet of chemicals, pesticides and cooked foods. An irritation of the delicate lining causes sensitivities or allergies. |

Often, when you're receiving information from conventional medical circles, a good question to ask is, "How does this information defend the belief systems of the people providing it?" Or, "How does it protect their career or their published papers or their medical practice?" These are important questions to ask. And, I'm really quite happy to hear readers who question the information they read on my site. I love to get emails from people that say, "Hey! I read your articles every day and I agree with 98 percent of it. But here is this other part over here that I'm not sure about. |

Anything that's based on evidence is also subject to the distortions and belief systems of old-guard scientists and doctors who currently control the intellectual topography in which this evidence is framed. Just because something claims to be based on evidence doesn't mean it's true, nor that it stands up to genuine scientific scrutiny. And just because something is called quackery or rejected by the scientific community doesn't mean it isn't true. It could simply mean that a sufficient number of old school scientists haven't died yet to make room for these new observations or theories. |
| They leave no room in their belief systems for the possibility that something could operate outside their current understanding. As long as there is no microscope for seeing homeopathic energy, the stodgy, egoistic defenders of evidence-based medicine will call it quackery. Of course, this is the same thinking that once called the germ theory quackery. |

It is a tribe that is constantly being expanded by pharma, its belief systems reinforced by some of the most sophisticated software programs in the world.
Not all of Gen-Rx2 resides in risk-management land. The tribe divides and then subdivides again. Not surprisingly for a generation that works more than one hundred hours a year more than its elders, many members are concerned with performance and productivity, and with drugs that can either heighten and sustain that, or counteract the problems that come from being too productive too much of the time. |
