Quite early on, children work out that people come in two different varieties: boys and girls.

Ask a small child what makes boys different from girls, and most of them will tell you, ‘Boys have a penis and girls have a vagina.’ Not a bad start. The problem is that the anatomy lesson usually stops there. ‘Penis’ becomes a useful expression to mean ‘the thing that makes a bump in a boy’s swimsuit’ … no mention of scrotum, testes or epididymis.

‘Vagina’ ends up meaning anything covered by a girl’s underpants, or just ‘not a penis’. How many parents, at any time, have sat down and told their daughters exactly what a vagina or a vulva is; that they also have a clitoris, labia, a uterus and so on? This explains why so many boys and girls grow up without even having words to describe their body parts, because no one has ever talked about them. If that is the case, they certainly have not been encouraged to investigate for themselves either. It is not uncommon for a girl in her teens to find out for the first time that the vagina actually goes somewhere, when she tries to work out what to do with a tampon.

There was a great uproar after I presented a segment on television showing on a live model (in close up) exactly where the clitoris is, and explaining how it works. A few days later I was interviewed by a popular talk-show host in front of a live audience of predominantly middle-aged women. He questioned the need for the live model. I explained that for many people, diagrams were like reading a road map. It doesn’t give you a great idea of the landscape. I spent years learning anatomy from atlases in books and from cadaver specimens. It wasn’t until I got into an operating theatre and saw the real thing that it all made sense. Traditional sex education has relied too heavily on the imagination of its target audience. Too much gets lost in the translation. The host also questioned whether the segment we had shown was valid at all, saying that at least half of the viewing audience out there would know all about the clitoris anyway. He was genuinely astonished by the reaction from the studio audience. That reaction was spontaneous and almost unanimous. A murmur of ‘No we don’t!’ rippled through the group.

This whole incident just goes to show how easy it is to assume that, where sex is concerned, just because someone doesn’t ask doesn’t mean they aren’t interested.

Our first awareness of the pleasure of touch comes moments after we are pushed from the womb and placed at our mother’s breast. Tiny fumbling fingers explore its fullness and softness and our first experience of sensual pleasure is linked to our very survival. We can see the primitive power of physical contact in the way a crying baby settles when held and gently rocked. And so we are set on our journey of life, and the many landmarks we pass from that moment on will lead us to happiness and fulfillment or guilt and confusion.

In infancy and childhood, we’re busy little bodies, climbing trees, riding bikes, rollerskating, learning to swim and children’s minds are as adventurous as their bodies. They are naturally curious about everything in their world. From the time they start to talk they start asking questions. By the time they get to four or five, the questions can start to get a bit curly, and the way we respond to those questions will have a big impact on the way they see the world. If we have never talked openly with our own parents or peers, a child’s questions about sex can really rattle us.

Where small children are concerned, what we mean when we say ‘sex education’ is really ‘preparation for sharing your life with people you care about’. The early observations a child makes about sexual closeness are the ones that some people lose sight of, or take for granted later on, and others never attain. Qualities like intimacy, playfulness, a sense of humor, respecting your partner’s opinions and autonomy, not stifling their independence … these form the true framework of mature and complete relationships.

Learning about sex is a lifelong process rather than a single event, and it is so vital to our emotional development. We say that in today’s world, because of AIDS, knowledge about sex is more important than ever. No more important I would have thought than when syphilis was rife before the days of antibiotics. As a diagnosis, it was just as devastating. The STD clinics were just as busy in the 1930s as they are today, and history is littered with the early deaths of some of the human race’s most talented people, victims of sexual ignorance or disregard of its risks. Yet still we have generations of people whose knowledge of sexuality is sketchy at best, and others who actively seek to keep our future generations in the dark.

I was astonished to hear the spokesperson of one religious group announcing on national television that the only thing young people needed to be told was to say ‘No’ until they are married, as if that were the solution. Reminds me of an ostrich sticking its head in the sand. The reality is that children need a lot of information before they get to the age of experimentation, but it needs to be given in bite-sized chunks; a comment here, a comment there … not one big ‘talk’ at the first sign of underarm hair.

But the earliest messages children get about their sexuality don’t need words at all. The way we handle sexual situations tells a child a lot about a parent’s attitudes.

What do you do when a four year old bounces into the bedroom when you and your partner are in the middle of a Sunday morning quickie? Do you utter some expletive and tell them to go out of the room? Do you stop and smile and say you are having a nice cuddle, and did they have a good sleep? How do you reply to a child who asks you in the middle of a crowded pharmacy why you bought colored condoms? It’s not so easy to plan your reactions to situations like this.

Many people tell me they never saw their parents show any signs of physical affection towards each other. No kisses goodbye, no hugs in front of the television. Seeing the way parents interact with each other is the most powerful influence. Do they listen to each other, do they really communicate? Do they show affection and mutual respect, or is there a power play with one parent constantly bullying the other? Some people tell me they remember, as children, how their fathers would criticize their mothers, denigrating their opinions or mocking their part-time jobs. Others tell me that they remember their mother calling their father a drunk, or a wimp, or a loser because his job wasn’t as good as she would have liked.

Introducing children to sexuality is quite involuntary. They watch and listen and react, and they learn from all they see. Sex education is as much about living as it is about loving.

If you suspect that something like a piece of dirt or an insect has entered your child’s eye, try washing out the eye first by rinsing it thoroughly with water. With your child lying down, hold a cup filled with water just above the eye and pour it into the eye. Repeat this for several minutes, and encourage your child to blink a lot while you are doing it. Examine the eye carefully to see if the object has been dislodged, checking inside both upper and lower lids. If you can still see the object try to remove it very carefully with a moistened cotton swab. If unsuccessful after a couple of tries, cover the eye with a gauze pad and see your doctor immediately. If you cannot see anything in the eye, but your child still complains that there is something in it, see your doctor.

Splinters of glass or metal in the eye require first aid and immediate medical attention.

In school they taught us to always have contraception available. They said you could end up pregnant if you start kissing and stuff and don’t have protection.

Being old enough to have sex means being old enough to be totally! responsible for yourself and your behaviors. That includes not having children if you don’t want or can’t handle them. If you are not ready for children, you are not ready for intercourse. But don’t think that just because you kiss and are feeling romantic that you should! automatically think of intercourse and contraception. I tell all of the young people I talk to that they should not have intercourse until they are married. Plain and simple, just don’t do it. Touch, hold kiss, and love, but no intercourse. If you have learned a lot about contraception, you are really far ahead because that’s very important knowledge. If you have learned that you must or almost automatically will have intercourse because you are a sexual person,! you have learned the wrong lesson. Such sex should not mean intercourse. No matter what you hear, self-control is just as important as birth control, and contraception never replaces self- and partner responsibility. Saying no is an excellent contraceptive.

I used to be so stiff, like a stick. Now I’m sort of stiff and sort of limp, too. I’m not hard like I used to be.

If there is one Mr. Myth that has caused more trouble for men and women than any other, it may be the myth that an immediate, long-lasting erection is the key to sexual fulfillment. Men have lied about their erections, worried about them, exaggerated about them, made jokes about them, mocked other men about them, celebrated and magnified them in all forms of art, and given them all types of names.

The medical establishment has accepted this orientation. New implants are now available. There is now an injection that causes temporary erection. Firm penises are becoming a major industry. Urologists who once ignored or dismissed the sexual concerns of their male patients now find it financially wise to keep up to date on keeping men up.

The penis is more sensitive when it is flaccid. Erections were designed in our evolution to allow for quick and easy insertion of the penis for conception, not for pleasure. The blood that engorges the penis to firm it also renders it somewhat less generally sensitive except in certain specific areas. Erections are actually only neurological reflexes that have little to do with complete sexual fulfillment. They have little to do with fertility, with psychasm, or even with all types of orgasm. Our attitudes about erection have become more rigid than the organ itself can ever be.

Erections do not signal arousal or interest and can be present when there is no sexual interest at all. Erections are reflexes, not only to our thoughts and feelings, but also to aggression and even bladder pressure

Men who fail to have “erections” are sometimes called “impotent.” A diabetic man came to me, stating, “I have absolutely no erection. Well, maybe just a little, but nothing to write home about. My doctor wants me to have special tubes put in or maybe a harness-type thing to hold it up.” Following several weeks of counseling with his wife present (the wife had never been consulted by the physician), he stated, “Now I don’t know why I was so fixated on that. I’m having more fun than ever.” The wife added, “Me, too. And you know what? You are more erect now.”

“Really?” questioned the husband. “I never really noticed.”

Physicians have believed for years that diabetes, blood pressure medications, and other situations can “destroy sexual response.” This is not true. Many things affect circulation to the penis, but firmness is only one and a relatively insignificant dimension of sexual interaction.

7-th day of fasting

In my experience, this is the most difficult day. Some people may experience such difficulties on 4-th or 5-th day of fasting. Your body enters into a higher level of purification. Everything which was easy to dispose is already gone. Now your body is getting ready to expel toxic deposits which are much more difficult to metabolise, and usually are more toxic too.

Your best strategy is to perform an enema in the morning (or in the evening of the previous day) and increase the intake of water during the day. Depending upon how you feel, you may have to perform another enema in the evening. It is not only the quantity of the waste in the bowels that is now important. The stuff in your intestines is now extremely toxic, and you want to flush it, thereby minimising the chance of the secondary absorption. Try to use pure water to make the enema solution.

8-14 day of fasting

No food. Water only. You should feel great. Your body just got rid of a huge amount of the most urgent waste deposit during previous days. Your natural instincts and healing have been awakened.

Go to work as usual.

If you feel that lack of food is indeed making you quite uncomfortable, you can add a teaspoon of natural honey to your water two or three times a day. Notice how little is required to restore complete comfort of your body and mind.

Use the increased efficiency of your mind to do some useful creative work. It is not uncommon to write an article or even a book in just a few days.

Prosper Meniere, a physician to the Institute for the Deaf and Dumb in Paris described the condition that bears his name in 1861.

This is a disorder which affects the organ of balance located close to the inner ear. Twelve pair of nerves arise direct from the brain rather than the spinal cord and control structures mostly in the head and neck.

The eighth cranial nerve consists of two separate parts, the auditory and the vestibular.

These differ in their function and in the area of the brain to which they are connected.

The end organs, that of hearing and balance, lie close together but have separate functions.

True Meniere’s disease involves balance and hearing.

There are paroxysms or sudden attacks of vertigo or giddiness associated with a progressive deafness and tinnitus or ringing in the ears.

Meniere’s syndrome is a term applied to periodic attacks or vertigo without tinnitus.

The cause of this disease is unknown but is believed to be a degenerative process.

Cannabis has been used as a social drug for as long as alcohol.

It found a place in medicine as a sedative and mild pain reliever but was abandoned because its behavioral effect was so unreliable.

Those who advocate its use claim it is less dangerous than alcohol and say that there is not yet enough scientific evidence to prove its dangers.

That isn’t true. The active chemical in cannabis is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The dried leaves, the stems, flowers or resin may be used.

Marijuana is the weakest form of cannabis. It is usually smoked. The other stronger forms of cannabis are also usually smoked, often with tobacco.

Most people who try it for the first time experience little effect. Some may feel giddy or even vomit. A few may feel light-headed with tingling of the hands and feet. This may be followed by a feeling of euphoria.

It usually takes about five marijuana cigarettes (reefers or joints), smoked all at once or over a week or so, to raise the level in the body sufficiently to experience a “high”. The drug is stored in the body in fat and is slowly excreted. Sixty per cent may still be present in the body after a week and 10 per cent after 48 days.
