My desire is to have this universal energy flow freely through everyone until the whole world is in harmony and everyone fully participates in compassion, love and joy. I’ve been inspired by Hippocrates, who in 400 BC is quoted to have said: • Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. • Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease. • As to diseases, make a habit of two things—to help, or at least to do no harm. Those who have contributed to my life and this manual will find their afterglow in these pages and realize how many they are helping. My unending thanks go to the following people: • Brian Clement, who is the essence and spirit of the Hippocrates Health Institute. We are honored to have him as a board member of Optimum Health Solution. Brian and Hippocrates Health Institute transformed my life, as I describe in my testimonial elsewhere in Chapter 10. He mentored the development of the “Life Force Energy: The Hippocrates Approach to Optimum Health”course, which I wrote while taking the HHI Health Educator Program and for which I was awarded the Derrick Brockie Memorial Scholarship. The 10-week course is based on the HHI DVD series, which is the core of the OHS DVD library, funded by this scholarship. • Tom Lindsley, my son, for his life-long deep interest in health since his college days (especially spiritual), inspiration, continuous teachings and encouragement, culminating in paying and sending me for the Life Changing three-week program at the Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach, Florida, in 2006, and for inviting me to be the Director of pHat Free Nation, a non-profit, which he helped me rename Optimum Health Solution. He has been the guest speaker on Cleansing since the inception of the 10-week Health Educator course, “Live Force Energy – The Hippocrates Approach to Optimum Health” and has been my guiding light. • Carla Finn, who spent hour upon hour taking pages from a three-ring binder and creating the first edition. Without her, this manual would not exist. She wrote Chapter 7 “Enzymes, vitamins and Minerals” and has been a guest speaker on this topic. • Jeff Plotkin and Richard Weisbach, my dedicated volunteer Brandeis interns in the summer of 2010 and 2011, who wrote to all the contributors for permission to reprint their works and helped to write and revise the manual. • Peggy Dougherty, who compiled all the information about the kitchen and food into Chapter 2 and made the charts. • Miryam Wiley, who has edited many articles for the manual, and photographed the children during activities. She also made the collages and wrote the program descriptions for www.realkidsrealfood.org. • Dr. Lorraine Hurley, for her incredible knowledge and inspirational manner of conveying her expertise on internal awareness, body ecology, the gastrointestinal system, and mind/body issues in Chapters 4 and 8. Lorraine is a scientifically oriented MD with substantial self-directed continuing education and experience in the field of holistic, functional, environmental, nutritional and energetic medicine. She is a certified quantum biofeedback specialist and functional physician. As a visionary, she holds the belief that the medicine of the future will be based on the science of progressive physics and what it is teaching us about human abilities and potential. She is an avid researcher and student of the “quantum age” with a distinct ability to synthesize complex information and translate it into practical communication and application. She particularly enjoys working with groups and is an advocate of empowering others toward greater personal responsibility in the care of their health as a means of living a more satisfying, harmonious and creative life. • Barry Harris, for his tireless editing of this manuscript that needed his constant attention. He has also ghost-written many of the articles. As past editor for Ann Wigmore and Viktoras Kulvinskas, co-founders of Hippocrates Institute, his skills, knowledge and understanding have been invaluable and greatly appreciated. • Thank you to Catherine Wong for assistance with updating this latest edition. Foreword by Dr. Brian Clement, Ph.D. N.M.D., L.N. LIFE FORCE ENERGY – The Hippocrates Approach to Optimum Health.is a work from the heart that will transfer knowledge, health, and strength to those who read it. As Betsy’s words permeate your awareness, make sure that you apply their meaning in your everyday life. Ms. Bragg’s history is one that bounced from lows to highs. Her nemesis for a good part of her life was self-doubt, which perpetuated physical disorder. When she first arrived at Hippocrates Health Institute, we discovered a broken woman who sorely needed change. Not only did she pull herself up by her bootstraps, but she also went further by attending and being certified as a Health Educator. Her contributions as a student earned her an award as the most promising teacher. Little did we know that she possessed a powerhouse of energy, passion and heartfelt sincerity. Putting together this manual for well-being is one of her many accomplishments, which is touching as well as helping to save the lives of many. Betsy’s unwavering commitment and integrity makes her a force of nature to be reckoned with. We are proud of her work with underprivileged children and her courses that lay out a roadmap for success. Life Force Energy brings you the concepts and tools that have helped hundreds of thousands to slow the premature aging process, prevent disease and even help to reverse disorders. Betsy’s clear and concise way of expressing her thoughts affords the reader an opportunity to gain innate wisdom in the simple steps required to build health. There is no doubt that her book is one of the most important ever penned on lifestyle change and healing.

  • The Holistic Hippocrates: 'Treating the Patient, Not Just the Disease'
    King, Helen. "The Holistic Hippocrates: ‘Treating the Patient, Not Just the Disease’." Hippocrates Now: The ‘Father of Medicine’ in the Internet Age. London: Bloomsbury Academic, 2020. 133–154. Bloomsbury Collections. Web. 24 Sep. 2021. <http:// dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781350005921.ch-007>. Downloaded from Bloomsbury Collections, www.bloomsburycollections.com, 24 September 2021, 04:27 UTC.

Holism today presents itself as a return to a superior past, and brings Hippocrates in as part of this strategy. Th e model of the history of medicine implicit – or sometimes explicit – in holistic users of Hippocrates is one in which there was a golden age until ‘the turn away from holism in medicine allowed diseases to be located in specifi c organs, tissues or cells’.1 While there is something in this where ancient medicine is concerned, with its basis in fl uids rather than organs, this is of course also a tried and tested strategy for convincing an audience of the value of a ‘new’ thing: you claim it is ‘old’, or ancient, or just traditional.

  • Squaring the Circle a Case Study in the History of Mathematics the Problem
    Squaring the Circle A Case Study in the History of Mathematics The Problem Using only a compass and straightedge, construct for any given circle, a square with the same area as the circle. The general problem of constructing a square with the same area as a given figure is known as the Quadrature of that figure. So, we seek a quadrature of the circle. The Answer It has been known since 1822 that the quadrature of a circle with straightedge and compass is impossible. Notes: First of all we are not saying that a square of equal area does not exist. If the circle has area A, then a square with side √A clearly has the same area. Secondly, we are not saying that a quadrature of a circle is impossible, since it is possible, but not under the restriction of using only a straightedge and compass. Precursors It has been written, in many places, that the quadrature problem appears in one of the earliest extant mathematical sources, the Rhind Papyrus (~ 1650 B.C.). This is not really an accurate statement. If one means by the “quadrature of the circle” simply a quadrature by any means, then one is just asking for the determination of the area of a circle. This problem does appear in the Rhind Papyrus, but I consider it as just a precursor to the construction problem we are examining. The Rhind Papyrus The papyrus was found in Thebes (Luxor) in the ruins of a small building near the Ramesseum.1 It was purchased in 1858 in Egypt by the Scottish Egyptologist A.

  • Juice Fasting Guidelines and Recipes
    Juice Fasting Guidelines and Recipes For optimal health, detoxification or weight loss can be important goals, especially when there are endocrine/hormonal imbalances. Both goals are supported by juice fasting. These guidelines and recipes are provided to educate you to use this strategy wisely and effectively. (Note: Pregnant or nursing women, children and others with medical conditions that may be aggravated by juice fasting should not fast.) Through diet and lifestyle, we all take in toxins from our foods and environment; these build up in our bodies faster than they can be removed through natural processes. Coffee, fried foods, fast food, alcohol, frequent consumption of red meat, energy drinks with high doses of caffeine and other stimulants, and processed foods with additives, preservatives, and high salt content are particularly problematic. The liver works hard to clean these toxins out, but can become overwhelmed resulting in weight gain, blood sugar issues, fatigue, mood swings, irritability, insomnia, body odor, skin complaints and constipation. Fortunately, your liver is actually able to heal and repair itself; through juice fasting, you can give your liver a reprieve and help it clean out the toxins. When your liver is functioning well, many health problems are relieved, and you will maintain a healthy weight and balanced hormonal function. Consider having one day per week of juice fasting when you are able to relax at home. It is not advisable to continue a juice fast for more than one day at a time; one day per week is able to support the detox and weight loss goals of most people.

  • Principle 1. Fruit on an Empty Stomach Only
    “Pain-Free Eating” Basic Principles: 1. Eat fruit on an empty stomach 2. Eat as much high-water content food (fresh fruits and vegetables) as possible 3. Properly combine your foods 4. Avoid animal products and processed foods 5. Maintain an alkaline pH (7.35 is ideal) Below is a more detailed explanation of each: Principle 1. Fruit on an empty stomach only Fruit is the most perfect food in existence. It’s filled with essential nutrients, is a great energy source and cleanses toxins from the body. It is truly “nature’s candy” and perhaps that’s why so many people eat it as a dessert. Many people claim they can’t eat fruit; that it “doesn’t agree with them. ” In most cases, they are wrong—because it’s almost certain that the problem is not in eating fruit, but in when and how it’s eaten. Fruit is a food mainly made up of water and natural sugars. As such, it doesn’t take much effort for our system to digest it. With the exception of more dense fruits (bananas, avocados and dried fruits), when fresh fruit is eaten, it passes right through the stomach and into the intestines where it’s digested. This is fine when your stomach is empty…but the problems arise when your stomach is full of other foods and is working to digest them and you toss fruit on top of them. At that point, the fruit wants to head to the intestines but its passage is blocked by the other food.
