About The Author

Foreword

In the 25+ years that I have known Dr. Ray (Imhotep) Morgan, I have seen the results of his work, and I have witnessed his passion for the healing of people who were (and are) in the trap of iatrogenic medicine. I have seen those who suffered with incurable diseases experience a second chance and become renewed, healthy individuals. Dr. Ray (Imhotep) Morgan has incarnated the spirit of Imhotep, the Father of Medicine, and this is why I gave him that designation at the Shrine of Imhotep in the Temple of Sobek, at Kom Ombo, Egypt in 2008!

As did the Grandmaster Builder and Great Physician, Imhotep, so does Dr. Ray (Imhotep) Morgan have a mandate from God to HEAL THE SICK! And as you read this book and apply the suggested remedies in it, you will see that the most outstanding quality that makes Dr. Morgan’s approach to good health so effective is simplicity! The information that he gives and the remedies that he provides for the dis-eases that plague the lives of the people in our communities are inexpensive, painless, natural and easy to accomplish.

Although Dr. Morgan is a Doctor of Science, as a Doctor of Naturopathy (N.D.), he emphasizes a system of medicine that is based on the healing power of nature. His approach is, and has been, to find the cause of dis-ease by understanding the body, mind, and spirit of his clients. Then he utilizes a variety of therapies and techniques (i.e., nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy, applied kinesiology, iridology, acupuncture, as well as other ancient treatments and remedies) and achieves healings and success in his clients that he is world renown for.

In his practice, Dr. Morgan spends a great deal of time enhancing the body’s own healing abilities of his clients. But for the many thousands who can’t get to his office, he has provided this book to help empower them to make the necessary lifestyle changes that will provide the best possible course to good health. Not only will this book provide the knowledge necessary for the reader to appropriate a lifestyle to enhance their health, but it will also be a good resource for maintaining optimum health by helping the reader to take the appropriate steps to prevent dis-ease and educate others.

We live in a world where no one is free from the destructive elements in our environment that are constantly attacking our bodies and immune system, so everyone is literally suffering from dis-ease! Therefore, it is imperative that you learn the information in this book …and then LIVE BY IT!

Always remember that the most important thing in life is having and maintaining good health. Some would disagree and say that the most important thing in life is spirituality and knowing the things of God. But the truth of the matter is that it is impossible to be at your spiritual best if you are not at your physical best! In fact, being in good health is the key to success in virtually every walk of life.

You may ask, What is good health? Simply stated, the answer to this question is, good health is when your body is free from mental and physical dis-ease(s). When your body is free from mental and physical dis-ease, you can acquire wealth, you can build a stronger family unit, you can spend better quality time with your grandchildren and loved ones, you can contribute more to those things that are important to you. You can do so much more when you are in good health!

Dr. Ray (Imhotep) Morgan is not only my friend and a colleague…he is also my physician as well! And because of his work in my life, I am better and much more effective at what I do. It is an honor to be a living testament to his work, his mission, and his purpose.

To our son, Scott: When you were ten, I asked you to help me to be a better father because I had limited experience. You not only made me a better father, you made me a better man. You were taken from us much too soon. We will always love you. You are still giving us Hope…Time…Love…and Healing.

Tomorrow will come. The pain will ease. But you will always be alive and loved in our hearts.

To my sister, Rashida, and my mother-in- law, Queen Mother Marie Conway, and all my ancestors who have made their transition. It takes hope, time and love for the healing to take place. We will always accept, but never forget, though we might move on, we will never forget you or stop loving you. You are our heavenly angel and we love you so much, and miss you everyday!

And to all of us five billion human beings on earth who, by living love, can make our planet a here and now paradise.

I extend my special thanks to my publisher, to my editor, Janice I. Dixon, and proofreader, Felicia Underwood, for their professional guidance, patience and encouragement along another literary journey.

To my children Kristal, Nekia, and Tobias, my daughters-in-law Vixen and Hope; and my four grandchildren - Sakai, Kimari, Sanje and Adonis, I love you. You have provided the foundation for this work. Remember to keep your dreams alive, and to achieve anything in life requires faith, vision, hard work, determination, dedication and belief in yourself. All things are possible for those who believe.

Last, but not least, I would like to thank my wife Regina (Ankhesenamen) for her understanding and love during the past few years. Her support and encouragement was in the end what made this book possible.

Rooted in traditional Toltec beliefs, these four agreements are essential steps on the path to personal freedom: 1) Be impeccable with your word; Say only what you mean; The word is the most powerful tool humans have; 2) Don’t take anything personally; Self-importance leads people to think they are the center of the universe, causing pain and injustice; 3) Don’t make assumptions. To avoid frustration and blame, ask what is meant; 4) Always do your best. This is the surest way to avoid self-condemnation, though it is important to realize one’s best is always changing.

Fresh Vegetable & Fruit Juices–What’s Missing in Your Body?

By Norman W. Walker, D.Sc.

Dr. Olarsch considers this mandatory reading if you are using a juicer and excellent reading on health in general. If you want to learn the healing properties of each fruit and vegetable, and what to increase in your diet for specific health conditions, this book will not let you down! The deficiency of certain minerals, salts and vitamins can cause symptoms of illness. In this book, vegetable juices are listed according to categories and an explanation is provided of their elements. In cooperation with R. D. Pope, M.D., a formula guide is provided with suggestions for treating specific ailments.

The only thing to do with good advice is pass it on. It is never any use to one self.

- Oscar Wilde

Introduction:

Many years ago, I learned that before giving advice to anyone, I should first make sure that the person I am advising is actually soliciting my advice. He or she may just want me to listen to them and be a good friend, seeking only understanding, empathy, and compassion. I never assume that everyone wants my advice. I may have some insight into their problem, but I really need to listen attentively to their problems first for a very long time to understand the situation. If, and only if, my friend actually asks for my advice should I provide it.

It is a great honor to be asked for advice, but it is also a big responsibility. Good advice can help people make sound decisions or find the right path in life, while bad advice can have disastrous consequences. Fortunately, with a little forethought you can weed out good advice from the bad.

For the past fifteen years I’ve displayed on my desk a poster enumerating the twenty necessary principles to vibrant health that I have lived by. Over the years, many of my clients have asked me for copies of the poster and others suggested that I put these principles into a book. This is it: my twenty necessary principles for vibrant health, plus five additional principles.

Do you have a recurring ailment that does not seem to improve with treatments provided by traditional western medicine? If your answer is yes, then you’re not alone. According to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine at the National Institutes of Health, thirty-six percent of U.S. adults have used at least one alternative or complementary treatment for an illness or chronic condition. Dangerous side effects from prescription drugs, experience with a misdiagnosis, botched surgery, or dealing with dismissive doctors are just some of the reasons many people decide to pursue alternative treatments. The use of alternative medicine, however, is not just merely the latest trend. These methods have been used for centuries to successfully treat people all around the world. There are so many alternative therapies to choose from, the problem then becomes how do you know which method might be right for you.

This book is an introduction to some of the most popular alternative and complementary therapies offered in the international natural health community today. The following twenty-five natural therapies that lead to vibrant health include: fresh juice, raw foods, vegan foods, colon cleansing and colonic irrigation, food combining, alkaline food, kidney and liver cleansing, walking and breathing, loving life, loving self, more sex, helping others, learning to relax, forgiveness, listening to your inner voice, and overall nutrition. Internal cleansing is an integral part of my own health regime. Each chapter provides a detailed, yet easy-to-understand overview of the therapy, including a brief history, its benefits, and what to expect from the therapy.

There Is a Threat Hanging Over Our Heads

Most Americans are not aware of a very powerful threat hanging over our heads. It’s not terrorism, oil shortages, the economy, or some other political issue. The clearest and most pressing danger lies in the fact that every second an American is stricken with at least one chronic illness. (A chronic illness is an illness that must be constantly managed such as diabetes or hypertension.) As of the year 2000, the U.S. population was two hundred seventy-six million. Nearly half of the population — one hundred twenty five million Americans — lived with some type of chronic condition, and today sixty million have multiple chronic illnesses. More than three million — two million women and seven hundred fifty thousand men
