2. “Gnyanam Parmam Dhyeyam”
“Man’s greatest battles have been waged against manmade obstacles and artificial
handicaps thrust upon him to paralyze his growth and development. Human
thought has always been bound in by tradition and custom, and education has
always been perverted to suit the interest of those in power…
“Crass commercialization has taken its toll on nutrition. Mass marketing efforts be
food conglomerates, whose main interest is profit, compounded by
misinformation by healthcare institution and their affiliates, make it difficult to
differentiate between life-giving, nutritious food and substandard devitalized
food… Is it a surprise that many of our children, particularly in urban areas, are
diagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADD/ADHD) and other biochemical
disturbances that are devastating their families, and ultimately societies?
“Instead of going to the core of the problem, mainly nutritional deficiency, we
compound the situation be overmedicating our children. What are we doing to
our children? What are we doing to ourselves as a species? …Why do we persist in
destroying the very thing that nourishes and sustains us? How much longer can
we delay the real solution?” – A.P.J. Abdul Kalam (The Family and the Nation)
• “Unless somebody finds the way to change human nature, we will have more
crises.” – Allan Greenspan

3. The Family and the Nation also says,
“We can no longer pretend that we are not aware. Regardless
of what the disease is called, its root cause is still deficiency
and toxicity. The typical convention methods of cut
(surgery), burn (radiation), and poison (medication) have
little effect as they do not address these issues”
Dr Kalam also tells us that the body is capable of
regeneration, if given the opportunity, and says “The only
sure way of achieving this is by going back to Nature,
providing our body with proper nutrients, while efficiently
eliminating built up toxins and debris. ... Emotional
disorder is another reason for the biochemical imbalance.
When the emotions are stimulated intensely, biochemical
secretion becomes imbalanced, creating several physical
disorders. “

4. “Soul is actuality (energia) in the way that knowledge is”
Aristotle
• “All living cells that we know of on this planet are DNA software driven biological
machines comprised of hundreds to thousands of protein robots coded for by the DNA
software. The protein robots carry out precise biochemical functions developed by
billions of years of evolutionary software changes.” – J. Craig Venter What is Life? A
21st Century Perspective
• Society of Cells: The activities of every individual cell in the body fall into two
categories: (1) Each cell performs for itself all those fundamental basic cellular
processes—movement of materials across its membrane, extraction of energy, protein
synthesis, and so on—that represent the minimal requirements for maintaining its own
individual integrity and life; and (2) each cell simultaneously performs one or more
specialized activities that, in concert with the activities performed by the other cells of
its tissue or organ system, contribute to the survival of the body by maintaining the
stable internal environment required by all cells.” (Vander et al, 2001:7)
• All conscious experiences are popularly attributed to the workings of the “mind,” a
word that conjures up the image of a nonneural “me,” a phantom interposed between
afferent and efferent impulses, with the implication that the mind is something more
than neural activity. Most neuroscientists agree, however, that the mind represents a
summation of neural activity in the brain at any given moment and does not require
anything more than the brain.” – Vander et al, Human Physiology (2004:256)

5. Physics and Dynamics of the Soul
• Psychology is the research or study of the “psyche” or the “soul”.
• Elements of Psychophysics (1860): Weber-Fechner Law of Sensations
• “Without renouncing the support of physics, it is possible for the
physiology of the senses, not only to pursue its own course of
development, but also to afford to physical science itself powerful
assistance.” – Ernst Mach
• Psychynamics (Hermann von Helmholtz, Ernst von Brucke and Sigmund
Freud): a branch of physics/mechanics concerned with the motion of
bodies under the action of (psychic) forces
• "The source of a drive is a process of excitation occuring in an organ and
the immediate aim of the drive lies in the removal of this organic
stimulation.” – Freud, Three Essays on Sexuality (1905:)
• Ego “is first and foremost a bodily ego ... ultimately derived from bodily
sensations, chiefly from those springing from the surface of the body."
Freud, The Ego and the Id (1923:364)

6. Maslow’s General Dynamic Theory
• Physiology (Homeostasis) : Pavlov, Canon, Linus Pauling
• Self-actualization: the realizing of one’s potential – Kurt Goldstein
(1934)
“The organism has definite potentialities, and because it has them it has the need
to actualize or realize them. The fulfillment of these needs represents the self-
actualization of the organism.”
• A Theory of Human Motivation (A. H. Maslow:1943): Self-
actualization, or self-fulfillment, is possible by satisfying one’s
physiological and psychological needs.
• World Health Organization: “Mental health is defined as a state of
well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own
potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work
productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her
or his community.”

7. Maslow’s Physiological Needs – Stress
• “Two recent lines of research make it necessary to revise our customary notions
about these (physiological) needs, first, the development of the concept of
homeostasis, and second, the finding that appetites (preferential choices among
foods) are a fairly efficient indication of actual needs or lacks in the body.
• “Homeostasis refers to the body's automatic efforts to maintain a constant,
normal state of the blood stream. Cannon has described this process for (1) the
water content of the blood, (2) salt content, (3) sugar content, (4) protein content,
(5) fat content, (6) calcium content, (7) oxygen content, (8) constant hydrogen-ion
level (acid-base balance) and (9) constant temperature of the blood.”
• Undoubtedly these physiological needs are the most pre-potent of all needs… that
the major motivation would be the physiological needs rather than any others…
the organism is then dominated by the physiological needs
• Another peculiar characteristic of the human organism when it is dominated by a
certain need is that the whole philosophy of the future tends also to change. For
our chronically and extremely hungry man, Utopia can be defined very simply as a
place where there is plenty of food. He tends to think that, if only he is guaranteed
food for the rest of his life, he will be perfectly happy and will never want anything
more.

8. Psychopathology
• “Any thwarting or possibility of thwarting of these basic
human goals, or danger to the defenses which protect them,
or to the conditions upon which they rest, is considered to
be a psychological threat. With a few exceptions, all
psychopathology may be partially traced to such threats. A
basically thwarted man may actually be defined as a 'sick'
man, if we wish.”
• Infants will react in a total fashion and as if they were endangered, if they are
disturbed or dropped suddenly, startled by loud noises, flashing light, or or by
inadequate support…, illnesses, disrupted routine or rhythm, quarreling, physical
assault, separation, divorce or death within the family, parental outbursts of rage
or threats of punishment directed to the child, calling him names, speaking to him
harshly, shaking him, handling him roughly, or actual physical punishment
sometimes elicit total panic and terror in the child.
• Such a person behaves as if a great catastrophe were almost always impending –
an emergency, or is in a search for a protector. Compulsive-obsessive neurosis,
avoiding everything unfamiliar and strange and by ordering their restricted world
in such a neat, disciplined, orderly fashion that everything in the world can be
counted upon.

9. Gratifying the Psychological Needs
• “What we have called the basic needs are very often
largely unconscious although they may, with suitable
techniques, and with sophisticated people become
conscious.”
• Inventory of Needs:
Safety Needs (Security)
Love and Belonging Needs (Sex Relations,
Relationships)
Esteem and Achievement Needs (Self-esteem,
Ambitions)

training in nutrition (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1998:68).” So,
