Our Purpose and Intention
By Ray Kent
Founder
Our Place International

As I begin this introduction letter for Our Place International, I am hoping that my pen will be mightier than all the conventional wisdom about health. I stand against a tide of ignorance and ego,both policed and manipulated by a market system that works hard to maintain our buying mood for treatments and theories. In the meantime, our poor health has put our mentality in a shaky place. This is clearly reflected by the way we live our lives and the sad end it brings.

There is mounting evidence that the physical condition influenced and dominated the mind. This means that the popular conception that the mind was the cause of the problem, was the wrong perception that led us into a very confusing world of the language of psychiatry & psychotherapy, mind-altering medicine and talk therapy.

It was our physical weakness that fueled this never-ending hope for relief. It explains why many are spinning their wheels in a spiritual illusion. They are chasing an invisible being who can reward and punish us, and going to doctors who interfere with the body's struggle to save itself.

The result all around us is proof that we are going the wrong way.

I want to talk about the above and call it 'Health', for heath is not only the repair of a sour stomach or the relief of inflammation from our joints, it encompasses all aspect of life. The unhealthy way we participate in our marriages, and the unhealthy way we treat our children is a reflection of this. I am told that it would be a stretch for the average mind, yet I don't think it is. However, I believe it is very important to bring it all together
to clearly and simply put A NEW FACE ON HEALTH.

*****

The Old Face has PAIN written on it. It is easy to see the reason why people look to God. It is because we are not looking at ourselves. It is because we can't see beyond the pain.

The way diseases are presently addressed has evolved into great organizations with buildings to house various research. In the studies of leukemia, arthritis, heart condition, breast cancer etc., these institutes and their organizations were built around an incremental vision of disease. We believed the mystery built around those concepts, and we, the ignorant, have suffered the paranoia.

*****

We at Our Place International have the NEW FACE on Health. We have discovered it and we would demonstrate it with this website that ALL disease is caused by a combination of:

1) Our inherent weak parts and systems; and
2) Our lifestyle and environment --- what we eat is how we think.

Regardless of the complex symptoms of Alzheimer, Aids, high blood pressure, diabetes and cancer, the cause of disease is the same. The reason why symptoms are different for the disease is because we are different within ourselves. We all have different weak and irritated body parts and systems that deteriorate and alter our minds when we live a life of self-abuse. That is what makes the symptoms vary.

*****

This website is very important to humanity. It has taken me years to live by and then write about these principles. I have put them all to the "commonsense" test. There is no doubt in my mind, whatsoever, that this simple method of providing the body's needs with the purest Food, going into the Sun, and Fasting from time to time, will evolve us into independence and individual greatness.

*****

To love self-care is to begin to love. They told us when we were young not to be selfish, instead of encouraging us to be selfish in a healthy way. This is why we search outside of ourselves for answers. By doing so, we are surrounded by expertly marketed conflicting theories that have only added to the confusion and despair.

Presently, we are doctored to death. Their theories and treatments have failed, and there is no one to complain to and no congressman to write, protesting and picketing get us an undesirable reputation, and violence of any degree is not a solution. Therefore, the only action that is environmentally balanced & totally effective is our self-care.

*****

Our ignorance and the medical mistakes is why we have this ineffective World Health Organization. Their self-importance is so powerful that they can bankrupt companies and ground airlines. When they speak, world governments pay attention. Yet their theories of disease and its spread are shaky.

Hence, our individual responsibility for our health is the only Health Organization that is needed. Our example of not taking responsibility for our health is the true epidemic. Only healing will bring about permanent change in the way we live and the way we are governed.

Our Place International fully accepts its responsibility to teach this very rewarding way of life. We will present it clearly and in as many languages as we can manage.

*****

The bottom line is: "Our mentality is the direct result of our physical condition". All along, this fact has been missing. Listen to the international news for a few days to see clear proof of insanity. The present condition of all the cultures on earth has never been so bad. Our health is poor and getting worse. The medical authority does a great job when it comes to emergencies. But when it comes to our health, the body's results speak clearly. It struggles to keep itself clean through infection, fever, diarrhea etc. This authority has intimidated us with misinformation on health. It has led us all into a horrendous mistakes. We who blindly follow these theories, systematically on a day-to-day basis, slowly kill ourselves.

Because of these theories and the ideas of vaccination and immunization, our dying process began at birth.
We interfere with the body's ability to keep itself clean and continue until all energy is spent. In our malnourished condition, we live a dangerous illusion. Living our life in this continually weakening condition has led us to the many bad decisions we make about the issues of life. The way we eat, the way we work, how we marry, and the way we have little ones, are examples of our condition. How we feed, school and doctor the little ones and teach them how to live, as we do, an abusive life, then die in the most unnatural and painful way, is a direct result of the life that we lived.

*****

Living as we do, causes us to die of conditions brought about by our poor eating and general ignorance about life. But by living a longer and disease-free life, we create a legitimate event that will take us to a higher level of awareness.That is our reason to live.

That is the true definition of life, and the way to creatively begin life's journey is with self-care. When we recognize that the body is a very special instrument, programmed to give us a great long life, we have a new beginning. That beginning makes everyday a new beginning, programmed to give us a Great Long Life.

*****

We don't have to go back to the jungle. We can still have the things we need --- financial security, a fine home and transportation. We can also have a clear mind and an open heart to know that we must seriously consider the earth and its environment that sustains life for us all. In such a mind, a desire to live in harmony with the earth will develop and we will evolve to live on the earth as an owner and not a renter.
In the meantime, The Self-Abuse must Stop.

*****

We at Our Place International will over time put a New and Truthful Face on Health. Presently there is no institute in our society that seeks the natural truth about health. I believe that the medical mistake has not been recognized. We have assumed that everything is being done and every scientific avenue has and is being pursued, even philanthropists are contributing billions of dollars to the same medical machinery
that continues to make a mystery out of disease.

*****

There will never be a cure because the symptom is not the disease. Disease is also not caused by a microbe. All disease is a combination of our inherent weaknesses together with the ignorant way in which we live. All disease came from that scenario.

The difference in symptoms is simply a reflection of our individual genetic circumstances. Some have resulted in Parkinson, others in bowel cancer, a weak heart and AIDS, while many more new symptoms are yet to appear. It is widely believed that each set of symptoms represent a unique entity, called 'disease'. Each disease is requiring specialization and complicated substances that attempt to remove symptoms, while at the same time injuring other parts with sometimes deadly results.

All diseased conditions are a result of A Saturation of Acid-Producing Toxins.

*****

We at Our Place International have proven beyond any doubt that The Body Can Heal Itself. There are exceptions for sure because too much deterioration may have set in. I have searched for many years because I was ill, and I met most of the book writers on health. I found their presentations interesting but knew there was always something missing until I met Herbert Shelton. I listened to his instruction and followed them and in time, I began to truly get better for the first time.

I believe that as we come to our true senses, we will see that Herbert Shelton was one of the most significant human beings on earth. He understood healing and gave this information unselfishly to all who wanted to hear.

But first of all, we must live in an environment that is conducive to healing: Sunshine, Pure food, and Fasting from time to time, and then to knit it all together with a high desire. This is the warm feeling of self-care, the beginning of Love, which is the beginning of healing.

*****

We are not doctors, nor do we treat disease. We want to educate and help relieve the pain and unnecessary suffering.

We know for sure that the body needs Sunshine, Pure food, Intelligently Fasting, and the joy of Self-care.
How do we know this? When we live these healing principles, we prove it to ourselves. This is the only study that counts.

Disease has had too much attention. It has become an industry of trillions of dollars. However, what cries out for attention are the Basic Needs of the Body, and to help with this understanding, is the dedication of Our Place International.

Here's what some wise guys had to say:

Ancient Chinese Proverb
"If you have disease, don't look for a cure, find your center."

Buddha
"Health is the highest gain." Dhammapada 204

"You yourself must strive; the Buddha only point the way." Dhammapada 276

"One truly is the protector of oneself; who else could the one's protector be?" Dhammapada 160

Jesus
"Know ye not that your body is your temple, such temple is holy, and if you defile your temple, you would suffer till the day you die."

Herbert Shelton
"Health is man's normal state."

"The treatment peddlers and cure-mongers have always placed the emphasis on disease, for it is disease that provides them with fat incomes. The unceasing cry of the sick is: "give us cures and more cures," and the treatment peddlers of all schools of curing meet this demand with a never ending succession of ephemeral wonder-working cures...The cures don't last. Every school of so-called "healing" peddles its new cures."

J.H.Tilden, M.D.
"Germs cannot be a cause, because they are ubiquitous, i.e. ever-present. If they are the cause of disease, no one would ever reach the state called health. So-called epidemics, contagions, and infections do not influence normal, healthy people."

"The laws of nature have been broken before disease manifests. Disease is a crisis, which means an effort on the part of the body to eliminate pent-up toxins. It is a systematic house-cleaning, and would not be necessary if irrational living had not been brought on enervation, checking elimination and causing Toxemia. I must declare that there is no logic, absolutely no common-sense, in breaking every law of nature, as conventional civilization does, and, when retribution comes, endeavor to sidestep the consequences by getting under the cover of cure or prevention, which in no wise corrects outlawry or its penalty."

"Thinking people can know, if they want to, that disease is not what medical science teaches -- namely, symptom-complexes caused by extraneous influences, and that it may not be prevented or cured by vaccines or serums. Disease, so called, is nature's way of curing. A cold is elimination of toxins. To stop the symptoms means to stop elimination, which means forcing the organism to retain the toxins and gradually grow a larger toleration, until life is overwhelmed by a so-called acute disease or a chronic organic disease, which may end in the destruction of some important organ, or life itself.

Disease is auto-house-cleaning, and all the treatment necessary is rest of body and mind. So-called treatment or curative measures are positively obstructive."

Oliver Wendell Holmes
(Associate Justice, U.S. Supreme Court, 1902- 1932)
"The disgrace of medicine has been that colossal system of self deception, in obedience to which mines have been emptied of their cankering minerals, the entrails of animals taken for their impurities, the poison bags of reptiles drained of their venom and all the inconceivable absurdities thus obtained thrust down the throats of human beings suffering from some want of organization, nourishment and love."

Ray Kent
"Our capacity to love is seen in the results of our own self-care."

This is the NEW FACE on Health.
