If You Tend To Be Squeamish--Don't Read, Have another do it for you.

People who have stored food, water; gotten gold and silver, as well as cash, we will go into their homes and find them dying or dead as dead can be.

There will be stores of food in their dwelling, yet they died! Why? We will also find those who have eaten up most of their food stores and are in a state of emaciation, even though they stored 1 - 2 years of food supplies, and food still sitting around them. Why? Why? Why?

We will find our neighbors, friends, and convenient community in a state of dire health needs as disease overcomes them... again, Why?

We may even find ourselves in these dire predicaments and our own family's lives threatened by emaciation and disease... Why?

We will definitely hear where the strong took from the weak after several months of the dire circumstances coming. Yet, the weak had plenty of foodstuffs but not the vigor to defend themselves or their families. They were too docile, Why?

That's what this document is about. Why and How to Avoid the suffering and physical devastation from one's neighbors, or looters looking for fuel, food, and females! Also, your own worst enemy through all of this is YOU and how you can now work to tame the depression, anxiety, and stress that is coming your way. The anxiety, low mental energy, fatigue, and depression will be stiffling to say the least--it will be debilitating, without any relief in sight.

There are things you can do, however, to greatly mitigate these conditions that will wreak havoc with your mind and body that no one has addressed, until now. You can't stop the sights, sounds, and attendant problems you will be witness to when the "Total Collapse," and "The Chastisement," go down.

Not only will you have to worry about your food storage, and then, if you did not do it correctly, the loss of muscle and bone mass, concomitant with internal and external problems a human body will have to face; but those trying to take your "stores" away from you, you will face people starving to death in the streets, the stench and disease producing bodies lying in the streets, houses, building, and so forth because government services will have stopped when this Chastisement is at its fullest.

Michael Haga's book, After the Crash, Life In the New Great Depression puts it succinctly:
"During this coming economic depression, which has already begun, the quality of life in major cities throughout American [sic] will fall so far so fast it will take your breath away.

"As I said earlier, living in a major city will be like living in a war zone. No one will be safe. Crime will be rampant. Gangs will cause chaos and kill for fun. Public services, street repair, garbage collection, will become sporadic at best. Police will be non-existent"

The resultant internal and external manisfestations in your body, from what you see, hear, think, and smell, will generate ...

Stress

... and this will kill you.

But first, before we continue on how to lessen this developing problem, let us first discuss what Stress is:

When the body's maintenance of homeostasis -- state of body equilibrium -- develops a potential threat, real or imagined; physical or psychological, nerve impulses are directed to the hypothalamus of the brain, physical responses are triggered that try to resist this loss of equilibrium. The responses often include increased activity of the sympathetic autonomic nervous system and adrenal hormones. Factors causing this are called stressors, and the state or condition it produces is called stress.

Stress can be physical or psychological, or a combination of both. Regardless, the stressors are often extreme forms of stimuli.

Physical Stress :

These stimuli may be potentially harmful to body tissues. The stressors are decreased oxygen concentration, injuries, infections, extreme cold or hot, loud noise/sounds, as well as exercise that is participated in too strenuously, or is prolonged.

The stressors we are talking about are those that are sustained and/or intermittent and extreme. They do not give adequate chance for homeostasis for physical (or mental) equilibrium to be re-established long enough to generate physiological/biochemical balance such that a mental and physical sense of well being is developed for healing and health.

This type of stress, physical, is more often than not accompanied by unpleasant or painful and harsh sensations. Prolonged, it will lead to physical health problems, and may well induce mental problems.

Psychological Stress :

This type of stress is generated from the stressors such as ideas or thoughts about real or imagined dangers, social interactions or lack thereof, personal losses, or any stressor or factor that a person perceives as threatening his sense of personal safety and security.

Grief, fear, anger, depression, and anxiety, as well as guilt, creates this type of stress. Stressors of this type vary from individual to individual. Some persons handle more stress, physical or psychological, than others due to their way of looking (mental set) at something and their personal biochemical makeup.

A person's mental set may change and often does. What stressors elicited a reaction one time, may not another. In other words, what is stressful at one time, may not be at another.

From these definitions, we can see that we need to get in good physical shape, for research has now shown that physical bodies in good health, low in adipose (fatty) tissue, and having more muscle tissue respond to, or handle, stress more efficiently than their counterparts.

Also, the mental set one develops (the way one looks at something or perceives it) helps mitigate or thwart unplesant or painful responses, and maintains a more healthful biochemical equilibrium.

If, with what is coming, you feel threatened but have thought about and worked mentally and physically on not being a victim of this coming Chastisement and Total Collapse of the system, you will fare much better than your neighbors.

However, there is more to this than just "thinking," or being in physical shape, and storing food and survival items for the coming chaos. The right food is extremely important. We will discuss this more fully further on.

For now, we need to focus on what our brain and body does when hit by strong stressors (factors beyond our control), and how we can slow down the brain and body aging that will be accelerated when these events occur.

Physical Responses
To Stress

The body responds to stress by attempting to maintain homeostasis or equilibrium. It does this through a set of reactions known as general stress syndrome, which is largely controlled by the brain's hypothalamic area. This area is where nearly all information pours in from practically all body parts. This includes internal and external receptors receiving stimuli. It also includes various regions of the cerebral cortex, an area in the brain.

When stress presents itself to the body, internally or externally, the hypothalamic area often responds to the incoming impulses by activating various mechanisms to prepare the body for fight or flight. In days of old, early man finding himself facing a Sabre-tooth tiger, either fought like hell or ran like hell, effectively burning up the adrenal hormones that prepared him for such an action. The hormones just didn't sit around creating havoc. They were used up, so to speak.

Now-a-days, the Sabre-tooth tiger has been replaced, in polite society, by, many feel, one's boss or superiors. He can't run nor fight -- he has to take it! Sexual harrassment! Just another element in our modern society in the move up the ladder of time. This has generated, among other things, our stressful society -- so much for civilization.

In order to control stress, new disciplines were developed, social workers, stress counselors, work-out gyms, and, oh--of course, the every present shrink, telling us how to live our lives. All this is necessary, if not mandatory in certain instances. However, studies have shown that early farmers, and their wives experienced the least effects of stress when they had to work very hard to scratch out an income from the land. Now, however, the air conditioned combines and easy credit have all but wiped that out.

It's been shown that meditative prayer, as well as exercise, help tremendously reduce the ravages of stress. Also, certain herbs, nutraceuticals (plant chemicals, phytochemicals, also known as functional foods) help tremendously. Ah.... Yes! Included in this group is the ubiquitous salicylates, or the common aspirin.

According to John W. Hole, Jr., writing in Human Anatomy and Physiology, Second Edition,

"More specifically, sympathetic impulses from the hypothalamus cause a rise in the blood glucose level, and increase in the level of blood glycerol and fatty acids, an increase in the heart rate, a rise in blood pressure, an increase in the breathing rate, dilation of the air passages, a shunting of blood from the skin and digestive organs into the skeletal muscles, and an increase in the secretion of epinephrine from the adrenal medulla."

He further writes that as the hypothalamus may be performing the above,

"... is likely to release corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), which in turn stimulates the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland to secrete ACTH. This cause the adrenal cortex to increase its secretion of cortisol"

And herein lies the rub: the cortisol hormone released from the adrenal glands is a catabolic hormone. It causes you to cannibalize muscle and bone mass to suply the raw elements, such as amino acids, to build hormones, antibodies, white blood cells, enzymes and the like. This cannibalization also supplies calcium to needed biochemical reactions. This internal wasting of tissue (cannibalism) will make you more prone to disease if it is not being replaced with first class proteins and nutrients.

The difficulty is this: most food storage programs push primarily mutual supplementation of proteins. It is relatively inexpensive and borders more on a vegan (vegetarian) type diet. These programs have you store or sell grains, such as wheat, oats, rice, rye, barley, corn, etc. And also legumes (beans (includes soybeans), peas, lentils, and occasionally, nuts.

These two combinations of legumes and grains gives complete protein, if--and here's another rub--you eat enought of it. But, with beans, rice, and so forth supplementation, you still receive a lower percentage of protein and quality. If that's all you can do, fine, it will keep you alive. However, this type of diet makes you docile. And this is what you can not afford to be during this time of events.

Note:

The Journal of the Price-Pottenger Nutritional Foundation Vol. 22. No. 4, 1999 (619-574-7763), has this to say concerning vegetarian foods.

"... the average non-organic plant crop in America has ten applications of chemicals from start to finish, including sprays used in storage; or that most of the outbreaks of food-borne illness have been caused by vegetarian foods."
They further say,

"As long as we exercise reasonable precaution in food handling, and consume a diet of whole foods, including protective fats like butter and coconut oil, we don't need to fear food-borne illnesses (See later: Cornell University, Thailand, and Coconut Oil).

When the Chastisement comes in its full vigor, clean, pure water will be a problem for most, if not all areas. Most Americans do not know how to practice good sanitation and hygiene, without the ease of clean running water. We take it for granted because of the clean water and sanitation following thereof. However, when the clean water goes, so goes sanitation. This means you will see water- and food-borne illnesses, en masse.

Dr. Marc S Micozzi, the executive director of the College of physicians of Philadelphia says, "Basic hygiene has probably made more of a contribution to public health that [sic] anything else we can think of."

Don't you see, without an ample supply of good clean water, basic hygiene is practically impossible. Right now, we take all this for granted ... but soon, all that will change, and we know the date(s).

They don't have a good, continuous supply of clean water in most regions of Thailand, but the prodigious use of protective fats--it was discovered, such as butter, tallow, palm oil, lard, and coconut oil keeps water- and food-borne illnesses at bay.

Our advice, from studying the research of both sides of the fat controversy is that you'd better store some coconut and palm oils too. We also discovered that coconut oil was left out at ambient temperature on a table for over a year---it did not go rancid.

Excellent reading for mutual supplementation of proteins can be found in Human Nutrition, Third edition, formerly, The Heinz Handbook Of Nutrition by Benjamin T. Burton. Also Diet for a Small Planet by Frances Moore Lappe. She points out, as does Burton's book, that wheat, which is low in the essential amino acid, lysine, as well as rice, can be combined with beans, which supplies sufficient lysine, to improve the quality of both the wheat and the rice. Just try living on a diet of this nature (grains and legumes) for any length of time.

Americans aren't used to this. You will develop food aversion quickly. Also, aside from that, which means your family will simply shut down on you, as well as you too, when suddenly thrust into this type of change in diet. You will see your kids literally starve right before your very eyes.

American kids snack six times a day. Do you think they will go for grains and legumes? Not on your life, or rather theirs in this case. Prepared FOODS© magazine in the October, 1998 issue, had this to say about teen snack "attacks."

"A study designed by David Michaelson & Assoc. and sponsored by the Channel One Network, bears out two main trends about teenagers: they engage in snacking more than any other type of eating, and they like to exert influence on the grocery purchases made by their parents."

If the teens aren't consulted, you are going to have revolt, stress, food aversion, and a shut-down to eating, at a time you need contention less.

Folks, this means you must incorporate your children into helping your considerations with storing foods. You have to store staples that will last, but if you have my book, Surviving the Coming Chastisement ... you see immediately what you have to have to help you through this coming horrendous stress, and for more than just survival. I have also included a section on the Absolute Basics which still will get you through this in relatively good to excellent health.

Prepared FOODS® continues by pointing out ...

"Snacks represent 35 % of teen eating occasions -- occasions that now total 4.33 per day. Typically, these snacks are consumed in the after-school hours between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m."

In Prepared FOODS® chart, the illustrated "Peak times for teen snacking," is as follows:


Before 8 a.m.
2%
8 - 11 a.m. :
6 %
11 a.m. - 2 p.m
10 %
2 -5 p.m.
35 %
5 - 8 p.m
24%
after 8 p.m.
24%

They further write,

"When they're not eating, teens hone their powers of persuasion. American teens influence -- either directly or indirectly --$51.6 billion worth of grocery purchases each year. Sports drinks, breakfast bars and salty snacks are the products over which teens hold the most sway, Channel One notes."

With this type of power, if you have not prepared adequately and carefully, they will quickly develop food aversion---they will shut-down on eating, and will not survive.

The problem with an all or mostly grain diet, is that first, it becomes boring. Next, we have counselled people who tried to practice eating this way, ignoring our advice, and they developed sore tongues; bleeding gums; inflamed esophagus (tubular portion of the digestive tract that leads from the pharynx, throat area, to the stomach); as well as disgestive disorders such as the bloat, gas, diarrhea, and sore anus.

Some have complained about hemorrhoids flaring up again when they tried to accustom themselves to this diet. The problem is not enough variety. Also, get at least two manual grain mills and grind the grains prior to cooking. They cook faster, use less fuel and water--two precious commodities in the very near future, and they are more digestible and palatable.

We also suggest storing powdered potatoes and spaghetti. See our "Survival" page at the Menu. Also get from Mountain House, freeze-dried, prepared foods to add good variety and high quality protein, such beef, chicken, ham, and/or pork cubes. See the following for brochure.

Remember! Under stress you need high quality animal proteins, balanced, to function at your best. Howard J. Ruff, in his book, How To Prosper During The Coming Bad Years, says,.

Under stress conditions you need more well-balanced animal protein. The vegetarian societies that flourish in good health, like the Hunzas of Central Asia, tend to be low-stress societies. Under stress conditions your body consumes large amounts of vitamin C and the B complex, and minerals such as calcium.

When stress goes up, cortisol (the catabolic stress hormone) rises too, and the Immune System goes down. Then you start burning your own tissues to get energy and basic parts, such as amino acids, to build white blood cells of the immune system, enzymes, hormones, and antibodies to supply the body.

With this rise in cortisol, science now shows that there is a decrease in the immune function of the body; increased brain aging with its attendant depression, possible Alzheimer's disease, forgetfulness, diabetes, arthritis, aids, hepatitis, alcoholism, heart attack, aging in general, and cancer cases.

Science News (SN), VOL. 153, April 25, 1998, has this to say about the brain in an article entitled, Stress hormone may speed up brain aging:

"For 20 years, studies of rats and other nonhuman animals have suggested the sustained exposure to high concentrations of stress hormones provokes cell loss in the hippocampus, a brain structure integral to memory and spatial navigation."
"A new study indicates that cortisol, the major human stress hormone, can provoke hippocampal deterioration and cognitive declines associated with aging in healthy people."

Notice, it is now confirmed in this article, and others, that cortisol can and does cause damage in healthy people. As we age, cortisol levels rise too! Under sustained or intermittent stress, the brain deteriation will occur much faster, scientific evidence now declares.

In test over a 5-year period, elderly subjects with high concentrations of cortisol rose even higher during that period, showed to have considerably smaller hippocampal area as compared to their peers "who had moderate, gradually declining concentrations of cortisol in their blood over the same period, reports a team of neuroscientists headed by Sonia J. Lupien of McGill University in Verdun, Quebec," the SN article related.

Those group members tested in the 5-year period with the high normal cortisol (still within the normal range) "performed much worse on memory task that rely on a functional hippocampus," the article reported. Supported findings of these test appeared in the May issue of Nature Neuroscience.

At the University of Kentucky in Lexington, Phillip W. Landfield and Nada M. Porter said "Lupien and colleagues (Sonia J. Lupien of McGill University; Verdun, Quebec) provide substantial evidence that long-term exposure to adrenal stress hormones may promote hippocampal aging in elderly humans --" that is healthy adults. Magnetic resonance imaging scans illustrated the shrinking hippocampal volumein participants who had the highest cortisol levels and increased cortisol leaps from year to year.

During this test period of five years, where the cortisol was already in the high normal, and rising, the subjects "reported more intense feelings of stress in their lives than the five people whose cortisol readings started out moderate and then declined."

In SN: 6/3/95, p. 340, points out that chronic stress suffers increase their adrenal hormone concentrations which may bring on or contribute brain cell aging.

Leading Alzheimer researcher, Dr. Dharma Singh Khalsa reports that with the constant excess cortisol production day in and day out, "this hormone is so toxic to the brain that it kills and injures brain cells by the billions."

The adrenal glands release this hormone, cortisol, in response to stress. It used to be called the stress hormone; some now call it the death hormone. Actually, cortisol is a Sword of Damocles, in that we need it to respond to stress, but unremitting, excessive stress is toxic to our health. It inflicts major damage and sickness. It definitely speeds up brain aging.

More medical researchers now feel that disease is preceded by high cortisol levels, whereas before, it was the other way around.

As we age, cortisol rises; with the increasing stress breaking into our lives in April, 1999; then July, 1999; and in October, 1999, and finally Year 2000, cortisol will rise dramatically higher, and be sustained. What can one do now as well as then. First, of course, is to get prepared with food storage, cash, gold and silver; then, move to a safe area (see our book---Surviving The Coming Chastisement and other documents on this Web Site). Being prepared with at least food and some water for two weeks will forstall much anxiety and stress. The more the better will allow you to adapt to the rapidly, almost overnight, when it hits, changing conditions.

By preparing like this, you have invariably started working on your mind-set (mental set), saying effectively to yourself and family, "We are not going to be a victim of this--we are going to survive." You have decided not to accept the pain and suffering that is coming.

Food Storage
Vs
Hoarding

In 1979, Howard J. Ruff in his book, How To Prosper During The Coming Bad Years gave an excellent definition of hoarding. He says, and others agreed with him today, with respect to what's coming:

"to avoid the charge of hoarding. Hoarding is a nasty term for saving. It really means 'buying more than your share of scarce goods in competition with others. Buying in advance of shortages is not hoarding."

But watch the people who have heard the warnings; not taken heed, start labelling you as hoarders. Wanting your food, and anything else they feel entitled to. Also, they will lay huge guilt trips on you if you allow it. Additionally, all will have true and sincere sob stories about their children to extended family members.

They didn't prepare, but they want you to undergo the expense and work of storing for not only your family, but theirs too!

Ruff continues thus...

"It is moral to take my advice in times of surplus. If you wait until there are shortages and scramble to grab more than your share of the limited available supply, that's hoarding and that's immoral and the government may even make it illegal by rationing."

Dr. Harrison Fox, Professional Staff, U. S. House of Representatives, Subcommittee on Government Management, Information and Technology (Rep. Steven Horn's subcommitte), indicated that:

"By this time next, year, the panic factor will be in full force and rationing will be in effect." --- Source: Jim Lord/Westergaard 2000 from Year 2000 Alert Special News Bulletin; February 8, 1999 (For Subscription: 1-800-291-8545)

Ruff follows with...

"When people store food in times of plenty, that means they will not be competing for scarce foods, and there is more for everyone else, including the poor and the profligate. I'm sure that the people in my home town will be glad not to have me standing in the food line ahead of them with my wife and nine children.

"I won't have to because I will have taken care of myself with my choice of food at much lower prices before the problem occurs. The storage of food is good for you and good for America."

You know it's coming, and you know the dates (see "The Three Tidal Waves," at Menu)! Right now, by getting up a supply of food, you are not hoarding. You are helping keep money in circulation. Soon, there will be no money, or very, very little of it in circulation. Right now, you will be helping farmers, food and manufacturing suppliers, and grocery stores and chains stay in business and make a profit.

When this goes down shortly, storing food then, when supplies are very limited, you will be classified as a hoarder. Just now, no! When the "CRASH" becomes a reality, you will not have to fight your way into and out of stores for supplies, if any are still to be found, if you get there in time. All this is S .T. R. E. S. S, and it will eat away at you.

By storing now, while supplies are plentiful, not only are you keeping money in circulation; helping the supply chain of farmer to market to manufacture to grocery; you will not have to stand in lines for hours for a small sack of rice and beans.

You won't be taking up space and precious commodities that can be spared for another. By storing now, you will avert much major stress and its attendant problems, as you see from reading this document, by not standing in dwindling food supply lines, rationed by FEMA.

By storing, you are not competing for disappearing food stuffs. You are not part of the panic. You would be relatively secure, and able to help during the reconstruction period because you are in better health. This is what we're facing in the very near future.

By storing now, you will have not only the foods you need and like, to get you through all this, but vitamins and minerals too! You don't want to be in line doled out foods you dislike or can't eat. Now is the time to store what you eat.

Ruff says this also,

"Even the best of food storage programs come up short nutritionally, because your nutritional need increase under stress, and obviously we're talking about a time of potentially great stress."

Preparedness develops a positive mental outlook---your mental set. It also reduces the stress hormone when these conditions go down, because you prepared--you were not one of the 90 + percent in denial.

Controlling
Cortisol

As a suggestion, take one or more of the following:

Aspirin. Of course, we spoke of "leaky gut" and that aspirin is one of the things that can facilitate this problem. Be sure and take the digestants and zinc as well as the Whey protein to off-set this problem. You can also take Horse Chestnut Extract.

Vitamin C (at least 4 grams a day)

DHEA, Dehydroepiandrosterone, (if you're a woman, you should take Vitamin C, E with this as well as Melatonin at night; men should take Saw Palmetto, Lycopene, Nettle Leaf Extract (120 - 160 mg/day of the latter), and Melatonin too at night.
KH3 and/or GH3, procaine compounds. If you can't get these compounds, then get a Procaine perscription (2%; 25mg/ml) from your doctor and inject in the muscle or subcutaneous, 0.5 - 0.7 cc (ml). If you can get the Procaine, then take PABA (a B-vitamin) and DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol).
We recommend B-D manufactured syringes of 3ml 25G 5/8. You should be able to get this at your pharmacist without a prescription. Get a box content of 100, sterile, single use. Excellent for Vitamin B-12 injections. [Aside: When every thing goes down and fresh meat, eggs, etc. aren't readily available, we suggest you have some injectable B-12 available. It will not help with controlling stress per se, but is good for over all health.]
Procaine Therapy: The Physician's Guide To Life Extension Drugs, A Technical Handbook of Innovative Drug Usage by Life Extension Foundation, 1998, writes:
- "Procaine therapy was discovered by Romanian physician Ana Aslan, who began using it to treat the elderly in 1951 at the Geriatric Institute in Bucharest.
- "Dr. Aslan was almost solely responsible for the popularity of procaine as a rejuvenation therapy. She had used procaine as part of several different formulas, the most popular of which is Gerovital-H3, or GH-3.
- "Gerovital-H3 is a 2 percent procaine hydrochloride solution that contains trace amounts of benzoic acid, potassium metabisulfate and disodium phosphate [WebMaster's Note: U.S. procaine solutions differ some in make-up, but is 2 % (25mg/ml)]. In Romania, GH-3 is generally administered by injection (100 mg of procaine) three times a week for four weeks, followed by a ten day rest period and another four week treatment period."
How this was injected, IV or SQ, the literature does not say, but we have found 0.5 - 0.7 cc (ml) caused no problems. Of course, there can always be a reaction to the drug itself or even to the supporting compounds in it. But, we have not experienced any nor have heard of such.
When using procaine to deaden tissue to suture, one technical manual says not to use more than 20 ml; another, 30 ml. Dr. Aslan's formula allowed more; however, 0.5 - 0.7 cc (ml) is within a safe limit with respect to the technical manuals used in war, and in Africa, and the outbacks of Mexico, we have studied.
Now only is the procaine therapy good for stress, but it has shown excellent results in the '70s, in "several well designed studies" when the original formula used in the U.S. for depression.
S. Cohen and K.S. Ditman, in a separate study, reported patients "felt a greater sense of well-being and relaxation, slept better at night and many obtained some relief from depression and the discomforts of chronic inflammation or degenerative disease, " Life Extension's guide reports.
The Physican's Guide further reports a "relief of arthritis symptoms, lowering of blood cholesterol levels, increased energy, improved mental function, reduced cortisol levels and lowering of blood pressure." The best documentation of procaine therapy appears to lie in the realm of its antidepressant effect. As a rejuvenation drug, more research is need.
Dr. Hans Kugler, leading researcher in gerontology, points out that procaine breaks down to PABA and DMAE. Other researchers that it may be the metabolites (breakdown products) of procaine that may be the components that reduces MAO (monoamine oxidase), which in turn keeps the cortisol down. However, there, some point out, may be some, as of now, unknown factor that the procaine itself, along with its metabolites, bring about to reduce the cortisol.
KH3 or GH3 inhibits the MAO, degrades norepinedrine, dopamine, and serotonin. These latter three, especially serotonin, are associated with antidepression and mood elevators. The procain compounds, according to Longevity Quarterly, Vol. 5, No.1; 1999, puts "the brakes on excess cortisol by inhibiting MAO, and therefore acting as a natural stress reducer and mood elevator. That translates to low cortisol levels!
PhosphatidylSerine (PS): This is a "brain-cell nutrient that boosts memory and improves learning, concentration and mood, according to clinical studies cited by Lucas Meyer." pioneer research and development firm of lecithin, specialty phospholipids, and soy protein products (1-800-SOY-3660/ 217-875-3660). "This dietary supplement helps athletes improve their performance by suppressing cortisol, a potent catabolic stress hormone. This is extremely good for memory impairment, concentration and mood, and improves the ability to learn.

CDP-Choline (cytidine 5-diphosphocholine). This does not reduce cortisol, but it is so important for memory and brain function, acts against brain cell aging, enhances blood to the brain cells, especially fro victims of stroke, we include this here too.

Huperzine A: Recommended safe dosage of 10 mcg per day. Georgetown University's Institute of Cognitive and Computational Sciences in Washington, D.C., Alan Kozikowski says the product is effectively decreases brain cell deterioration by increasing the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, as well as others.

He further says, anyone wishing to increase cognitive functions and mental acuity should consider taking Huperzine A, especially atheletes, students, persons under extreme stress, and those reaching 50 years of age--the baby boomers.

Life Extension Hotlines points out:

"Aging is associated with the excess secretion of cortisol from our adrenal glands. Cortisol is a glucocorticoid hormone that suppresses immune function, inhibits healthy brain cell metabolism, promotes atherosclerosis, and accelerates aging."

But with the Coming Chastisement and the resultant stress, and just grains and legumes, we may well see people not eating enough first class proteins; or any for that matter, and thus, gradually lose muscle and bone mass, as disease overcomes the multitudes who stored primarily grains and legumes.

We don't normally see this type of thing because in America, most, if not all get a wide variety of foodstuffs. The body will waste itself to skin and fragile bones if not resupplied with high-quality protein, vitamins and minerals, when under extreme duress.

This is why when going to go into homes of friends, relatives, neighbors, and extended family members who have prepared for the this crisis and the Total Collapse of the stock market, we find them dead as dead can be. We will find them surrounded with plenty of food; others, who had stored plenty of food will have been like locusts and will have eaten most of their food up that should have lasted them another six months to a year. It should be getting rather obvious what the problem is

On the one hand, they stored plenty of food to last them a year or two, but they didn't take into consideration the stress demands made upon the human organism. This extrapolates to calories, calories, and more calories. Look at it this way. When the stress goes up, and as they are burning tissue like mad, in order to keep from losing weight and wrecking havoc on their nervous systems as well as their immune systems, they need to resupply that which is being burned in the fire of extreme stress.

The society in America has been fed pablum for too long. Many scientists, as well as nutritionists and medical researchers argued against this new pyramid diet, it passed anyway--now, we are going to see it take its toll. It places the emphasis on foods that will not supply enough calories long enough, especially under stress. This pyramid diet increases insulin demands and it just simply facilitates more rapid burning of foodstuffs in the body.

For instance, if you eat a plate of food consisting of half a cup (1 serving) of rice, beans, potatoes, and a vegetable, and a small piece of meat, a good diet by any means, but if you cut out the potatoes and have a tablespoon and a half of fat, oil, butter, or shortening, the food will stay with you longer and you get just as many or more calories, depending upon the fat you have.

And, you will survive better because you are supplying more calories to your diet that burn more slowly, and you are stretching your food supplies. In other words, you need less food when you add fat to your diet, especially when this Chastisement strikes. Store ample oil and fats. See our book or this Web Site under menu.

But there are people we counsel daily, who take pride in announcing that they only have 10 or less grams of fat a day. Uhhhh ... that's why they are seeing us. Not enough fat in the diet.

You save food, stay full longer, and help prepare somewhat biochemically for the effects of the "death hormone." But, the pyramid diet says that fatty meat along with a tablespoon of fat at each meal is too much. However, we are not concerned with the pyramid diet now. We are concerned with staying alive!

Those people who don't know what we are telling you, will be found either dead, or the other type--stoic and docile, staring off into space, the "thousand-yard-stare," well known to those serving under battle field conditions the military during W.W. II for too long a time. The adrenals become exhausted, especially of Vitamin C. Those people we find dead could not possibly hold the amount of food necessary to sustain them because it is not as highly nuclear dense as are fats. Also, they could not get enough high quality, rapidly available protein from their grains and legumes to offset this wasting.

Your web masters, in their lectures and books, especially Surviving The Coming Chastisement, strongly emphasize storing powdered protein (not soy!). We suggest also, for every can of regular type protein you store, you also store whey protein concentrate, and lysine tablets, as well as NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine). The whey and the NAC help build glutathione in the human system, which is a strong antioxidant, which is used in the immune system to fight disease. If push comes to shove, the lysine would come in handy to fill out the wheat or flour you have stored, to give you complete protein. Additionally, the lysine is extremely important to assist in stopping virus replication, another effect of stress bringing on herpes Type I (commonly known as fever blisters), shingles, and so forth.

A little protein in this case goes a long way, like a tablespoon at each meal. Or you could take it just once a day with your grains, and have complete protein, with caloric heat energy. Taken with the fat, you've increased your calorie count and your survival chances.

This matter of soy deserves a few moments of thought. One of the big problems in the United States is digestive problems. It is brought about because of widespread hydrochloric acid (HCl) and trypsin deficiencies. This also leads to what is known as, and accepted in the medical profession, "leaky gut syndrome," a condition in which large or partially digested food protein molecules, actually "leak" out of the gut and into the bloodstream. Not being in their amino acid form, or small dipeptides, they elicit an immune response which generates suffering, chronic fatigue, exhaustion, aging, and a host of other problems.

Dr. Atkins, in his book, Vita-Nutrient Solutions, Simon & Schuster, 1998, says the lack of HCl promotes asthma, food allergies, diabetes, osteoporosis, pernicious anemia, candida, iron deficiency anemia, rheumatoid arthritis, intestinal infections, psoriasis, vertiligo, hives, acne, eczema, dermatitis, herpetiformis.

This condition of not have enough HCl is self-generating because less HCl acid implies less meat eating (fostered in the society now), which means less HCl is being formed, which becomes a vicious cycle. Once set into motion, declining health is foregone conclusion. To make matters worse, the high soy diets (tofu, soy milk, soy protein isolate, and TVP) that are now being promoted upon the public, contain trypsin inhibitors. The only way to completely deactivate them is through the old-fashioned fermentation methods that were used to make tempeh, miso, and natto. Otherwise, some of the trypsin inhibitors will remain, according to Robert L. Anderson and Walter J. Wolfe of the USDA's National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research in Peoria, IL.

All these foods are good, just be sure and eat high-quality protein (here, milk and egg, for example, protein powder and/or whey protein powder--we recommend both); take digestants containing the protease digestant, trypsin, and betain HCL with Pepsin.

As if to make matters worse, in order for the body to manufacture HCl, it needs zinc. Without ample amounts of high-quality protein and zinc in the diet, substances shorted in the American diet because of the widely acclaimed low protein/high carbohydrate vegan type diets, fostered upon and accepted by many in our society now. And what does the type of food storage programs that are so popular have in them? Phytic acid, that claws or chelates minerals out of the diet or makes them less available to the body. That is, the grains and legumes you are storing--mostly the grains. It becomes evident why you need to store, not only protein, but a good vitamin tablet with minerals in it, and above and beyond that, a good mineral tablet, one high in zinc.

The phytic acid of the grains block a major portion zinc, if not all, depending upon the amount of whole grains injested. And note this: when zinc is not present, or in sufficient amounts, the omega-3 oils can not under go conversion to hormone-like substances, known as prostaglandins, used by the human body.

The present-day diet and food storage programs, often bordering near vegetarianism, are, and will be, a cause of decreased protein and zinc, and concurrently, less HCl available to digest the protein. A cycle is set up to perpetuate a short supple of HCL.

Foods to avoid if you have the leaky gut syndrome, or food allergies, or any of these other conditions we have named, are wheat, corn, sugar, dairy products, yeast, and junk foods. But this is not practical for what's coming. So what's one to do?

Eat from a wide variety of other grains and cereals so that you can rotate the above foods with them, and store protein, a good digestive enzyme that will supply protein-digesting trypsin, along with betaine HCl with pepsin. I've had clients in my private nutritional practice who couldn't eat these foods that tend to cause "leaky gut;" discovered that by taking the digestants prior, during, and after their meals for extremely severe cases, their arthritis diminished, and they were restored to a more healthy, vigorous life.

Causes of this "leaky gut" center around aspirin, ibuprofin, NSAIDS, HCl and trypsin deficiencies, alcoholism, trauma, and aging.

So what is one to do now, before this hits? Take MSM (methylsulfonyl- methane), bovine cartilage, acidophilus, and 3 teaspoons per day of coconut oil, and/or coconut cream, as well as the above-mentioned digestants. Once the Chastisement strikes in its full vigor, just make sure you have a wide variety of foods stored, including the digestants, protein powder, Vitamin C powder, fats, and coconut oil.

In 1950 a Cornell University group investigated Thailand and their food habits. It appears that a protective factor in the Thai diet (and could be ours, too) that kills pathogenic bacteria in the intestines and also kills parasites, viruses, and yeast, is the use of coconut oil there, as concluded in The Journal of The Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation (619-574-7763), winter 1998.

This practice of fermenting meats and pork, that the Thais practice, kills the earliest stages of the trichinosis organism, larvae. Fermented milks, and other foods develops large amounts of healthy bacteria. Different foods, different bacteria.

In Thailand, its peasantry drinks raw river water; also that from canals, streams, and other unpurified water sources too---and they don't seem to get sick from waterborne illnesses. They don't even boil it in many cases; nor do they filter out the sediment. This is the same canals, rivers, streams, and so forth that their animals use for drinking and wallowing in. Their kids swim and play in it. The Nutrition Foundation's Journal (www.price-pottenger.org), Health & Healing Wisdom, Vol. 22, No. 4, p. 13, concludes, that coconut oil is the most protective factor in the Thai diet, since the oil contains nearly 50% of a 12-carbon saturated fat, lauric acid. The body converts this into mono-laurin, which effectively kills "parasites, yeast, viruses and pathogenic bacteria in the gut."

The habit of fermenting meats and pork, that the Thais practice, kills the earliest stages of trichinosis organism, larvae. Fermented milks, and other foods develop large amounts of healthy bacteria that help keep pathogenic organisms in check. This may be a major source of their health from waterborne diseases, competitive inhibition of pathogenic microorganism in their diet.

Fermentation
Of
Foods

This matter of fermentation can be practiced now, by learning how to ferment soybean into tempeh, miso, and natto. This kills the trypsin inhibitors and stops one of the causes of the "leaky gut" syndrome. Or, you can purchase these fermented foods, for now. But when all this goes down that we have been talking about, you need to get Back To The Basics. If you are storing soybeans, then you need to learn how to ferment them and make tempeh and others.

You need to learn how to make yogurt, kefir, and buttermilk. They have Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus as well as bifidobacillus bacteria. But, these bacteria don't adhere well to the intestinal wall, therefore, eat a small bowl of oat meal (not the instant packets that are heavy on sugar and light on oat bran) for breakfast containing the beta-glucans which improve the adherence of the bacteria to the intestinal wall--without this property, they can't proliferate and colonize the GI tract. You need these bacteria. If you don't eat the old fashion oatmeal, then buy Oat Bran capsules ... oh, while you're at it, purchase also FOS capsules, a carbohydrate that facilitates greatly the bifido bacteria in the colon.

The beta-glucans also enhance the immune system; promotes an intestinal lubricant that is protective and diminishes the "leaky gut" syndrome, that antibiotics tend to promote. They do this by microbial translocation. A process whereby the drugs change the intestinal wall such that bacteria that cause disease, "leak" into the bloodstream from the large intestine, and then to the other parts of the body. The resulting action of this leak is one such that skin rashes, infections, allergic reactions, joint swelling and pain as well as the ever increasing asthma attacks are seen.

Remember, for bacteria to survive in the gut wall, they must adhere to it and colonize there. This wall of the intestinal tract must be healthy for this adherence and colonization to occur. Drugs that cause dry mouth, not enough saliva, deminish the lubrication and enzymes for healthy bacteria to survive and colonize in the colon.

Studies of animals have demonstrated that when not enough saliva is present, they develop ulcers in the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. Also, healing of these ulcers, when little or no saliva is present, is almost impossible.

In addition to antibiotics and drugs that cause dry mouth, highly processed foods containing sulphur dioxide, sulphites, bisulphites, and metabisulphites and sulphates alter and disrupt the bacterial types the grow in the intestinal tract. This enhances the bad bacterial (disease producing) and cause them to flourish in the presence of these preservatives. They are used in instant potatoes, jellies, jams, cider, dried fruit, some wines and beers, meats, colas, and pre-made salads.

One fermented food is Sauerkraut, without preservatives; check out the Claussen brand. Not many foods contain Lactobacilli plantarum. It is found in certain foods that become fermented, such as green olives, sauerkraut, homemade brewed wines and beer, and sourdough bread. L. plantarum can literally kill off thousands of pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Remember the Thias and their fermented foods, and drinking water from poluted streams and rivers used by their animals and humans for washing and bathing.

This good bacteria, L. plantarum has extremely high adherence ability to the intestinal wall. Now, get this---it attaches to that area of the GI tract that E.coli and other disease-causing bacteria attach to. Thus, it keeps them in check, and promotes good health!

It also has a unique quality about itself. The amino acid, arginine, you get from protein foods, or, get from taking arginine powder or capsules, is brokeen down by L. plantarum to generate nitric oxide (NO). When this NO is generated in the stomach and intestinal tract, a number of healthful things happen. L. plantarum use to be very plentiful in the diet of early Americans.

What Arginine Does In The Presence of L. plantarum:

The immune system is enhanced

Circulation is increased

Blood pressure is reduced in hypertensive cases

Sexual function is increased (works on the same principle as Viagra without the harmful side effects; NO is increased and causes the penile shaft muscles to engorge)

An increased movement of waste through the GI tract and out of the body

Increased control and destruction of harmful bacteria:

E. coli
Candida albicans (yeast)
Helicobacter pylori (the one responsible for gastric ulcers)
Shigella (bacterial dysentery)
Salmonella (caused by improper preparing of food, rodents, flies, and lack of good sanitation)
Kills or keeps in check a large number of parasites

Coconut
Oil

Coconut oil contains nearly 50% of a 12-carbon saturated fat, lauric acid. The body converts this into mono-laurin, which effectively kills "parasites, yeast, viruses and pathogenic bacteria in the gut," according to Health & Healing Wisdom, The Journal of the Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation, Vol. 22, No. 4 (619-574-7763), Winter 1998; www.price-pottenger.org.

The coconut oil provides another benefit, too. The Journal reports it promotes and strengthens the immune system as well as the nervous system and brain. It was discovered this oil protects against cancer and heart disease, and something you're going to definitely need when the crisis hits--the promotion of healthy bones.

Without a saturated fat, primarily coconut oil, research indicates this to be the best fat to provide the optimum uptake of your omega-3 fatty acids into body tissues.

Pickled
Garlic , Onions
and
Peppers

Other protective factors that you want to store are pickled garlic, onions, and peppers. Remember, when the water goes with the coming crises, sanitation disappears. Parasites and their eggs will become manifest and disease rampant. The pickled garlic, onion, and peppers consumed as condiments several times a day, stops parasitic egg development. This is why the Thai people, taking water out of polluted ponds and rivers for their drinking and cooking, without boiling the water, suffer no ill effects, the Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation (619-574-7763) reports; and, in the same issue. They say:
"But the most protective factor in the Thai diet--and one most ignored by investigators--is the lauric acid found in coconut products." The Foundation points out, "The Cornell investigators noted that 'untreated water was the customary beverage with meals. Ordinarily, no disstinction was made in the source of drinking water for children and adults, although boiled water was given to mothers and infants to drink during the postpartum rest period.'"

Garlic, onions, and peppers, not the vinegar, have the protective factors in them to stop funguses and destroy parasitic eggs.

Controlling stress will be extremely important during the crisis about to hit our shores, beginning sometimes in April. We'll speak more on this later, but for now, store powdered Vitamin C and some C tablets with the bioflavonoids.

Bean sprouts are fine, but you just "ain't" going to get enough sprouted for what you've got coming this way--get the C!.

In biochemistry, we learned that just a few brief moments of anger (stress) can deplete the body of several thousand milligrams of vitamin C. We also learned that most vitamin C is in the immune system's white blood cells for defense, and almost as much in the adrenal cortex. As this vitamin depletes, so does your ability to fight off infections, viruses, and disease.

Meat
Vs
Vegan

It is a well known fact from numerous studies, that meat eaters dominate the vegetable eaters. For instance, Dr. Weston Price discovered this over 60 years ago. Other research demonstrated that the vegetarian tribes are more passive and docile, as well as physically inferior to the meat eating tribes.

---- Sources: Second Opinion, Dr. William Campbell Douglass, Vol. VIII, No.1 January 1998/PPNF Health Journal, Vol. 20, No.3. (1-619-574-7763)

You need first class proteins in the form of meat, fish, fowl, eggs, cheese and other milk products. You can get this through quality protein powders, such as Whey and/or Milk & Egg Protein. We do not recommend Soy Protein Isolate, previously discussed above.

You need to provide now for these needs now, by storing several cases of each. You can also store cheese and omelet powders. See our "Survival" page for sources.

The Holy Writ supports this idea that when going into battle--eat meat! See 1 Timothy 4:1-4. The Bible points out that Elijah was fed meat when he was under stress and hiding from King Ahab and demonic forces, especially the powerful demonic Baal (1 Kings 17: 1 - 6).

This Crisis...this Chastisement...is due to sin. If you have been keeping up with the documents on this Web Site, you can see that what is about to hit our shores will be most devastating. We are in spiritual battle, for our very life blood itself, the body, mind and soul. Demonic forces are about to be unleashed more than ever before. They will do everything they can to create dispair, depression, havoc, to lead you into sin. Their purpose, to gain entry into your soul. To lead you into dark places forever.

Rebecca Brown, MD, in her book, He Came To Set The Captives Free, points out the following:

"Have you ever experienced a time of intense intercessory prayer after which you felt completely exhausted? That is because while you were praying with your physical body and mind, God had taken your spirit body and put it into combat with the demonic forces you are praying against on the battle field of the spirit world.

"The fatigue you felt is mostly a reflection of the stress your spirit body experienced.

"Wounds inflicted in your spirit body are often manifested by various symptoms in your physical body as well. I have come to realized that our physical bodies have been so altered by the onslaught of sin that they can cope with the conscious awareness of the spirit world for only very short periods of time without becoming excessively weakened.

"Witches and warlocks grow old in their physical bodies at a much accelerated rate. They pay dearly in their physical bodies fo their frequent intercourse with with the spirit world."

She then references this through Daniel, Chapter 8 and 10, wherein Daniel had a vision in which he was taken into the spirit world and spoke with Saint Gabriel. Daniel was weakend, the Holy Bible reports in Chapter 8, by his spirit body projection, such that angel Gabriel had to strengthen him.

There are numerous references in the Bible confirming that communication with the spirit world weakenes the physical body. Daniel was in intense spiritual battle, and through his prayers, the Lord used his spirit body.

Rebecca Brown continues thusly...

"Battling by our spiritual bodies takes tremendous toil on our physicals bodies as well. As we come against demonic forces we do so with our spiritual bodies rather than our physical bodies.

"That is why Paul makes so many references to the fact that our battle is not against flesh and blood. We cannot, obviously, fight in the spirit world with physical bodies. But the two are linked together by God so that what happens to our spiritual bodies inevitably has an effect on our physical bodies."

Brown is brilliant in her discussion of the spirit battle, which soon, we all will be undergoing more than ever. God's Mother, the Holy Virgin Mary, told numerous sains for centuries about this time coming. Many saints of the early Church spoke of this time we shall have to endure. They all relate that there will not be a demon left in hell .... they will all be here on earth creating havoc, when the full rigor of The Chastisement goes down. Now is the time to get prayed-up and nutritionalized, for we are going into earnest battle soon!

"Our spirit bodies can move, think and talk just the same as our physical bodies," she writes. "Several times," she continues," Paul tells us that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spirits. This battle", she further points out, "is continuous and unrelenting and if we don't have the armor of God on our spirit bodies as they fight we will receive many terrible wounds from the fiery darts (Ephesians 6).

Now ... the interesting thing, about this battle, are the symptoms that make manifest, the medical doctor speaks of. They are:

Fatigue
Pain
".... depression or other illness in your physical body which indicates that your spirit body is fighting hard."

This idea that our spirit can be "... separate and geographically away from our physical body is strange and difficult to accept."

However, Staint Paul did just such a thing, as described in Corinthians 5:1-4. Paul, though, was under Christ's control in this astral state.

Dr. Brown says, "Through the years I have been involved in this ministry, the Lord has shown me,"

"...that the drain on our physical bodies is a peculiar one in that it creates an acute loss of protein. If we are not careful to increase our intake of high quality protein during times of intensive spiritual battle we will become weak. The Scriptures have much to say on this subject.

"Ever since God's covenant with Noah in which He commanded Noah to eat meat, Satan and his demons have been trying to stop humans from eating meat.

"It is interesting to note that today's Hindus and many other Eastern religions (all of which are forms of demon worship), believe that the success of either a medium or an adept whose powers come from the demons possessing them, depends on the pressence in their bodies of a subtle fluid called akasa, which is soon exhausted, and without which the demons are unable to act.

"This fluid, the Hindus say, may be regenerated only by a vegetarian diet and chastity.

We conclude this brilliant discourse of Dr. Rebecca Brown's, He Came To Set The Captives Free with a discussion she gives on page 185:

She says thus:

"If we stop to think a moment, we will see that the final straw so to speak, which brought about God's judgment in the flood, was the intercourse occurring between humans and demons. (Genesis chapter 6) [sic]

"I do not blieve it was any accident that God commanded Noah to start eating meat after the flood, knowing full well the spiritual battle Noah and all his offspring would have to go through to keep demons from controlling them and their lives.

"...the laws God gave to his people the children of Israel, we will find that the spiritual warriors of those days were the Levities of Israel. Their diets were clearly high in beef and lamb."

"If beef is so harmful," she ask in her book, "then why did Abraham prepare beef for God himself to eat when He came to visit him? Abraham would obviously prepare the best he had. (See Genesis 18:1-7)."

"Spiritual battling results in an acute loss of protein from our physical bodies," she writes in her second book Prepare For War. " All of the New Age teachings, especially the teaching of the yogis, emphasizes vegetarianism.

"Yogis say that the vibrations of meat are harmful and will decrease spiritual sensitivity. A multitude of supposed scientific reasons are put forth in all sorts of media teaching that the eating of meat is harmful. None," she writes, "of this can be backed up by scriptures. Unfortunately, a large portion of the Christians are accepting these teachings."

Parade magazine, Sunday, November 10, 1996, p. 14, reported the following interview:

"During the last 25 years, doctors have discovered that patients with cancer or heart disease need extra nourishment, including twice as much protein as healthy individuals--the equivalent of 14 ounces of hamburger a day.

"So do accident and burn victims. Now, Stacey J. Bell, a research dietitian at Harvard Medical School, is applying that knowledge to patients with HIV, the AIDS virus.

"The body responds to HIV as it does to a burn, tumor or surgery [WebMasters Note: all stress conditions], Bell explained. It begins to break down the protein stored in the muscles." In her book, Positive Nutrition for HIV Infection and AIDS (Chronimed Publishing), "Patients are are instructed to eat enough to avoid weight loss...

"Bell also urges them to ignore friends who suggest avoiding meat, eggs and fat. 'Get over the myths. Brown rice and fasting won't cut it if you have this disease.'"

The relatively new American diet, we spoke of earlier, The Food Guide Pyramid, emphasizes vegetarianism, many researchers claimed when it made its debut. Is this part of Satan's plan to weaken, make docile, then control America for The Coming Chastisement?

The physical becomes debilitated fast from lack of high quality protein when in spiritual or physical warfare. Without good protein, we lose the ability to fight infections. High-quality Protein supplementation is a must for what is coming.

Until then, eat meat!

Lysine
And
Milk Powder

There may be some problems with powdered milk; however, our research has not revealed this one way or the other, and we can't find any updates on what we are about to report here. Therefore, take this into consideration in your food storage program. This is what Howard J. Ruff says in his book (1979), How To Prosper During The Coming Bad Years about powdered milk: (For his newsletter: The Ruff Times, 801-489-8681; Consulting Center: 925-939- 7070)

"... powdered milk has some possible problems in terms of the availability of amino acids, as explained in Famine and Survival in America... Even though it may test as having adequate lysine, there is some evidence that under conditions of drying, even low-temperature spray drying, the lysine locks up with the milk sugar [lactose] and becomes unavailable to the body."

WebMaster's Note:

There are 8 essential amino acids an adult body needs: phenylalanine, methionine, leucine, valine, lysine, isoleucine, threonine, tryptophan, and for children, histidine is essential along with the 8 just listed.
If one of the essential amino acids are absent from the diet, or not in sufficient quantity, the others are scraped; that is you can't build protein, enzymes, muscle tissue, antibodies, etc. All eight essential amino acids must be present.
If what Ruff wrote in '79 is still valid, or a large percentage of the lysine is bound to the milk sugar, then you're not functioning on all "8" cylinders, so to speak. You may get some good out of it, if enough is left over from the binding with the milk sugar, but will be needed for the horrendous stress coming soon.

Burton, whom we mentioned earlier, writes:

"Excessive breakdown of body protein also occurs during systemic disease (especially febrile [fever] ones), after injuries, burns, and surgery. A diet very rich in good-quality proteins and protein-sparing [A certain minimal amount of carbohydrate must be supplied by the diet at all times to prevent the wasteful use of dietary protein or, worse yet, protein from the body's metabolic pool or structural components, for purposes of energy supply ... maximum protein-sparring action is obtained if carbohydrate and protein are ingested simultaneously]
"and protein-sparing calories is desirable both before and after elective surgery, as well as after major disease or injury, to counterbalance this loss of protein from the body which may continue for days and be quite extensive."

What Burton is also saying is that intensive and excessive stress causes wasting of body mass, especially muscle and bone.
