Y INTRODUCTION
is an aphrodisiac? Everybody talks about aphrodisiacs, but no one seems to know anvthing about them. Many so called "experts" insist that there is no such thing as an aphrodisiac. It is not surprising that only a few decades ago many of the same "experts" assured us that the idea of sexual pleasure and orqasm in the female was "totally absurd". Our own definition o[ aphrodisiac includes substances which do any one or severai of the following things: Produce erections in the male, arouse sexual feeling by stimulation of the genitals or nervous system, increase sensual awareness, relax inhibitions, What
augment phvsical energy,strengthen the gonads or other glandsinvolved in rex, improve sexual health, increase the production of semen, help conquer impotence and frigidit,v (bearing in mind that these maladies are frequently of psychological origin), overcome sexual exhaustion, and prevent premature ejaculation. This book is about the chemistrv of sex, and natural substances which influence it. We willexplore not only'aphrodisiac materials as defined above,but.also tonics
which aleviate iemale complaints, ease childbirth and add years tG your sex life. We have also included a comprehensive chapter on nutrition and sex and disclosed lor the first time a revolutionary method of birth control.
a UNDESI
RABLE APHRODISIACS
Since cantharides (Spanish Fly) is the rnost famous aphrodisiac in human conversation let us deal with it first. It is the pulverized wing parts of a species o[ beetle (Lytta vesicatoria). If taken internally even in minute doses it causes extreme irritation of the genitals, fever, painful urination and possible bloody discharge, Sometimes - but not often - it produces an illusion of insatiable sexual desire. It is unreliable,dangerous.often fatal, and nearly always.causes (-)-3-(3,a-dihydroxyphenyl)-L-alanine, permanent or long term injury. '1,-DOPA, a nerv drug for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease increases sexual desire in some individuals. lt is an unreliable aphrodisiac with many unfavorable side effects too numerous to list here. 'In 1970 workers piping a new kind of gas into homes in Harrogate, England noted that it made them feel drunk and increased sexual desire. l,ittle else is known about this gas as yet. PCPA, ' p-chlorophenvlalanine, causes hypersexual aggression in laboratory animals,

but it also makes them vicious and can have harmful effects on several
body
'Dr. Nicolas Venette, a 17th century medical author proclaimed borax, sodium tetraborate an excellent aphrodisiac. I do not advise experimentation with this corrosive chemical. 'Amyl nitrite ampules, known as "poppers" organs.
were originally intended as a heart stimulant for people with cardiac disorders.
They are now popular among "sexy" people, An Ampule is broken open and sniffed at the point of orgasm. It gives a brief flash for about 30 seconde which intensifies sexual climax. They are relatively harmless if used occasionally, but I suggest that you not get hung up on them or any chemical stin,ulants.
o HERBAL APHRODISIACS
YOHIMBE (Corynanthe
yohinbe)-In ilerbal Highs I spoke of
Yohimbe and its
psychedelic effects. I briefly mentioned quebrachine a.n aphrodisiac drug derived from the bark of this West African tree by reacting yohimbiline, one oI its alkaloids, with hydrochloric acid. In effect this is a way of shortcutting the digestion and assimilation of the alkaloid, When you drink the tea as described in Herbal Highs the alkaloids, yohimbine and yohimbiline must react with the hydrochloric acid in your digestive juices so that they become soluble and can be assimilated into your body. Recently at Stone Kingdom, we made a w-o1{erful discovery: If youadd l000mgof ascorbic acid (vitamin C) to each cup of Yohimbe bark tea the two will react ro produce yohimbine and yohimbilinl a.scorbate, a very soluble and assimilable form of the two alkaloids, By doing this you have a smoother and better trip with no tendency towards the slighi nausea which sometimes accompanies the use of the tea, It comes on quicfer too (10-15 minutes instead of 30-45). AIso its aphrodisiac qualities u."rno"u pronounced. Yohimbe brings blood to the pelvic area and by stimulating the spinal nerves, encourages erections in the male as well as heightening seisual pleasure for both sexes. It acts as a stimulant to the parasympathetic nervoua sys.tem in a way that brings out profound emotional feelings. During sex, lovers feel as though their bodies were disolving and merging into one another. Qieug* under the influence of yohimbe is beyond belief. Its ellect is so powerful that men and women who suf{er from psychological impotence and frigidity usually.overcome their mental and physical barriers and experience a really great climax. A word to the wise, however: yohimbe is meant to be used for pleasure on occasion or, in cases of impotence and frigidity, until natural confidence is restored. Remembe": There is nothing in tLe influence of any aphrodisiac tnat lovers cannot eventually learn to do b.r themselves. A man and woman who turn on to each other is the world's .o"t po*erfrrl aphrodisiac. Yohimbe, like any other aphrodisiac is pleasurable and enlightening. It can teach you things about your body and its capacities which yotimaynier ha.rre suspected and help tofree you from use of the physically manifestej inhibitions which we have inherited from the enormous of pu"t generations. But "up"""go don't let it or anything else become a crutch, forlhis wourd-not be freedom, but only.,another form of slavery, oSim.". 5-Btsp. of shaved bark or 3-6tsp. of powdered bark for 5 minutes in I pint of boiling water. Strain or filter, then add vitamin C, In Herbal Highs 6-10tsp. were recommended, but with the vitamin les_s i_s required. Yohimbe sometimes produces tingly feeling in the 6enitars and pleasurable warm shivers through the back duiing interiourse. Ii is not physically adicting-and there are no known harmful sile eflects. Ilowever, it should never be taken with alcohol because this combination is very toxic.
DlrA (Alstonio scholaris) - This ree of the Apocynaceae (dogbane) family comes from Eastern Asia and the Philippines. It'has attractive itrit", lrooo"t shaped flowers and is rarely seen in Am"iica, The bark used as u t"a hu" loog
3
been a standard and effective folk medicine in Asia for lessening the distress of women's monthlies. In India a tonic is made from the seeds and bark. The seeds - but not the bark - are a strong aphrodisiac. They contain a powerful alkaloid, chlorogenine, Ce rHzoNzor, which helps a man retain erection and delay orgasm during intercourse. The seeds are crushed in water and soaked overn ight.
-This fragrant flowered cactus can be found in Mexico, Jamaica, and the American South West. Although it is often sold under the name "cactus flowers" it is the stem which
N|GHT BLOOMING CEREUS (Cereus grondiflorus,,\ftll./
contains the active ingredient, a drug with heart stimulating properites similar to digitalis. It is noncumulative, however. It has been used in the treatment of
prostrat€ diseases, nervous menstrual headache, and to overcome sexual exhaustion. For the latter about % gra^ of the fresh plant is chewed or crushed in 2 cc. of brandy and allowed to soak for a few minutes before drinking. The active component is alcohol soluble. Although the fresh plant is best, in Jamaica it is usually sold crushed and preserved in alcohol' In the American Southwest the Indians prefer to use the root. I don't know if there is any similarity,but the Indians of Bolivia concoct an elixer from alocal thornless cactus which is said to keep a man young up until the time of his death'
SENSITIVE PLANT: (Mimosa pudica) - This shrub (also known as humble plant or touch-me-not) is found in Mexico, Central America and Brazil. It is sometimes cultivated in the United States as an indoor and greenhouse curiosity. The leaves of this plant are arranged in a sort of herringbone pattern along the leaf stem. If touched lightly they immediately fold together. The natives of the Amazon saturate the leaves with the root juices and plaster them to the soles of their feet or over their breasts to give them extended sexual power orgasm after orgasm. This may sound peculiar to our way of thinkin6, but there are a surprizing numbecof similac techniques employed in folkmedicine throughout the world. In India, for example,powderedhenna is rubbed on the fingertips, scull and soles for one or two weeks as a cure for impotence and premature ejaculation. The fingertips are an excellent point of absorbtion as anyone who has handled large quantities of [,SD well knows.
SARSAPARILLA (Snilax officianalis) - For many centuries the Indians of Mexico have used an infusion from the roots of this tropical American vine as a eure for physical debility, weakness and impotence' White rnen generally re' garded this treatment as a humorous example of superstitious medicine. Then in 1939, Dr, Emerick Solmo, a Budapest scientist living in Mexico disc-.,ered that the root was very rich in testosterone, the male sex hormone. Today most of the testosterone manufactured for pharmaceutical use is derived from sarsaparilla. Medical testosterone comes in two forms: testosterone ProPianate, which is administered by injection; and methyl testosterone, which is given sublingually, that is the tablet is held under the tongue for a few minutes until it disolves and is absorbed into the buccal mucous lining of the mouth' It is not swallowed because the chemistry of the digestive fluids would interfere with the proper assimilation of the hormone. Testosterone is employed to bring on secondary male sex characteristics in cases of retarded adolescence and to enlarge an underdeveloped penis. For older men it is used to rejuvenate their sex drive, overcome impotence and improve general health and energy. Some physicians have to a certain extent conquered baldness by rubbing testosterone on the scalp regularly for several months to a year. I have not had the time or
opportunity to test the effects of sarsaparilla extractions on baldness, but it would be an interesting and harmless experiment for anyone who wished to try it. If a man finds his sexual desires waning for physical (not psychological)
4
reasons the daily use of testosterone will, in a matter of weeks not only restore his erotic interests, but also improve his general health, vigor, appearance, muscle tone and productive energy, Curiously, however, if a man is already highly sexed the use of testosterone while it improves health, muscle tone, etc. and greatlyincreases creative energywill slightlydecrease his sexual desiresnotenough to be regarded as impotence but enough to be noticeable. Sarsaparilla
also contains several other hormones including progesterone and cortin, an adrenal hormone which helps us to resist infectous disease and nervous depression. ' To make sarsaparilla tea simmer one or two heaping tablespoons of the dried root in a pint of water for five minutes. It will tend tn foam up so be careful that it does not boil over. Strain the liquid and, bearing in mind what was said about the incompatability of testosterone and the digestive acids, take small sips and let them linger in the mouth for a minute before swallowing. OPIUM - If used correctly opium can be a most excellent aphrodisiac. In moderate doses it makes one open and susceptible to erotic suggestion. All opium alkaloids havea stinrulating influence on the spinal cord like thatof strychnine, yohimbe and burra gokeroo in that they tend to produce erections. In addition thedrug acts as both a stimulant and relaxant and excites voluptuous fantasies. It has an anesthetizing cffect on the penile nerves in the glans; not enough to deprive a man of sensual pleasure but enough to delay orgasm. In the female it anesthetizes the rectal and vaginal nerves and has often been used to make anal intercourse easier. The simplest and least wastelul way to smoke opium is to place a tiny bead of it in the bowl of a long stemmed brass pipe. Hold the bowl over a candle flame or alcohol lamp so that the flame barely licks over the top of the bowl. While tilting the stem at a 45 degree angle inhale deeply and leisurely. Opium su,ells and bubbles rvhen heated. In its melted state it tends to clog the pipe, but if the bead is not too large and the pipe is kept tilted this problem is lessened. Although moderate doses are an effective aphrodisiac when given occasional use, more than just a few pipefuls has a reverse effect and weakens the libido. Excessive longterm use can be dangerous and debilitating and may destroy the sex drive. Constant and heavy use can become a habit di{ficult to break. Also, don't forget that it is verv illegal and most judges are more
ginseng root, daily to retain their virility. Many have been knorvn to father children while in their seventies. The Atherva Veda (the ancient medical ma.rual of India) says that it bestows on men both young and old the power of a bull. It is, however, not merely a temporary genital stimulant. It is a rejuvenator and reactivator of not only the gonads but of all the endocrines and the entire organism. Recently Soviet scientists have isolated from the root three major c.omponents: panaxin, panaquilom and schingenin, rvhich in combination strengthen the heart and nervous system and increase the flow of hormones. TheJe Russian scientists also ciaim that the rootgives offminute amounts ofa unique
type of ultra-violet radiation which stimulates the healthy growth of rissue
especially in the endocrine system, and has a general healing and rejuvenating influence on the body. They cali this subtle radioactive quality nitogenii radiation. originally the plant was harvested from its natural habitat, but now that its agricultural peculiarities have been mastered it is mostly cultivated. Importers have conspired to keep its cost far above what it should be, The highest quality, Imperial Ginseng, is available to only the wealthiesr and most important Chinese. The next grade, Korean Ginseng retails here for $?-gl5 per ounce' After that comes American Ginseng - a different species (Panax quinquefoliun) - which is sold mostl' to Americans and poor chinese. It retails between
$3 and g5 an ounce. The lowest nr"rt,, is Japanese Cinseng. Unfortunately
many farmers have been sold Japanese seeds for Korean so the ginseng market has been badly adulterated. Ginseng grows slower wild than cultivated. Wild ginseng is usually not worth harvesting if it is less than ten years old. Three or four year old cultivated roots, however, rvill often outweigh 30 to 40 year old wild ones. Age increases quality and price. 'The best way to use ginseng is
to thoroughly chew a pinch every 3 or 4 hours. Saliva helps to activate its qualities. Some people like to make a tea from it by boiling I teaspoon o{ the root filanients in a pint of water for ten minutes.'fhis is all right, but don't waste the pulp.lt canbe used over several times and afterthat it can be cherved and swallowed. Better than that if you can get the pou'dered root mix l,l to % teaspoon in a cup oI hot water. Ginseng tea should be sipped slowly allowing small quantities of the liquid to linger in the mouth and mingle with the salivary fluids before swallowing, Its rejuvenating influence on older men is gradual over a period of months. I have observed that when younger men take ginseng its aphrodisiac effects are noticeable more immediately. It is equally beneficial to both sexes, but since Asia has always been a male oriented society more has usually been said of its value to that gender. KOLA (Cola nitid.a) - The natives of S.ierra Leone and North Ashanti use the nut of this African tree as a nerve stimulant and aphrodisiac. They either chew or grind and brew them as a beverage. The nut contains as much caffeine as coffee, but the kola oil is also a stimulant and regulator of metabolism. (see HERBAL HIGHS) A convenient and economical n'ay to use kola is to put I teaspoon of powdered Kola and 2 teaspoons of honey in a cup and stir them into a paste. Then fill the cup *ith hot water, stir once more and sip slowly. Prepared this way it is a delicious beve"age. Excessive use of colfee can weaken the sexual drive. Kola seems to lack many of the harmful properties of coffee, but it does contain caffeine so I do not advise indtrlging in more than one or two cups a day. SAW PALMETTO (Serenoa repens)- This stemless palm grows most commonly in south east€rn North America, especially in Florida, where many people enjoy eating the fresh berries. If the plant does not gpow in your locale, the dried berries are excellent too. They are very nutritious and act as a to[ic for the
glandular tissues. They build strength and healthy body tissue very rapidly and tend to normalize body rveight. They are excellent for regaining health after any wasting illness and have an anticatarrhal influence on sore urinary passages. They are frequently used in cases of atrophy o[ the testes and mammary glands.Some modestlydeveloped young ladies claim tohave noticed an increase in breast size after including the berries in their diet for a few months. They are most famous for their ability to increase the production of sperm in the male when taken regularly. In this sense saw palmetto can be regarded as a truly beneficial aphrodisiac. At least a teaspoonful of the dried berries should be eaten daily (unless you can get ihem fresh). They are most effective when taken along with darniana tea.
DAI4IANA (Turnera diffuso) - This plant is found in tropical America and Africa. It has already been discussed in Herbal Highs because smoking the leaves at the same time as drinking the tea produces a "gass like" high. The tea hasdefinite aphrodisiaceffects and is anexcellent toniclor the reproductive organs oI both sexes. Many women find that a cup of damiana tea taken an hour or tn'o before intercourse helps them to get really immersed in the sex act. Both men and women have reported that a cup of the tea with a little honey taken before retiring tends to encourage amorous dreams. It makes a delightlully aromatic beverage which can be used regularly in place of tea or cof{ee without
6
any harmful effects. In fact it is very healthful because of its tonic in{luence upon the genitals and nervous system. It is usually most effective used in combination with saw palmetto. o On" or two heaping tablespoons should be steeped for five minutes in a pint of water. STRYCHNINE (Strychnos nux uomico) - This tree grows in China, Burma, India and Australia. If used correctly in the proper dosage, strychnine, the alkaloid found in the seeds is an excellent medicine. It is useful as a stimulant and general tonic especially in combination with other materials. It has served as a remedy for neuralgia, dispepsia, debility, chronic constipation and impotence. Its action in the latter case is effected by stimulation of the circulation, muscular system, and the spinal nerves, I can not, however, recommend it for use by unskilled hands. There is a very narrow margin between the useful and toxic dosages and tolerance varies coneiderably from one person to another. Because the percentage of the alkaloid within the seed can vary widely from tree to tree I will suggest no dosages for the raw material. There are other substances mentioned in this book (Yohimbe and Burra gokeroo for example) which have action similar to strychnine but lack its dangers.
BURRA GOKEROO (Pedaliun murex) - ln India the seeds of this plant are crushed and maCe into a tonic for the treatment of impotence. It also seems to have a beneficial effect on the genito-urinary passages especially in cases of mild infection and irritation. Some Asian doctors have used it successlully on older people who have difficulty containing their urine.' One part seeds are crushed and soaked for 24 hours in 20 parts water. The liquid is strained and and put up in bottles. One teaspoon is taken three times a day. It is best to keep the bottle refrigerated to prevent the tonic lrom spoiling. Or else add I part pure grain alcohol to 9 parts tonic. Burra gokeroo appears to have I strychnine like effect on the spinal cord which encourages erect.ions, but apparently does not have the toxic dangers of the latter,
KELP (Mocrocystis yyrifero/ - This form of seaweed is found in the watere along the California coast. It is rich in organic minerals essential to general glandular health, and contains ten times as much iodine as iodized salt. Iodine is essential to the healthy functioning of the thyroid gland. This glandproduces a hormone which is needed to turn food into energy. Insufficient iodine can
cause chronic fatigue, mental sluggishness, irregular and profuse menstruation and decrease of libido (sex drive). ' One teaspoon of kelp daily will correct most defficiency induced thyroid abnormalities. Other substances needed for healthy thyroid functioning are protein,vitamins C, E and B complex. A marvelous thyroid tonic can be made my mixing I teaspoon powdered kelp, I teaspoon wheat germ oil,
I tablespoonyeast (from a healthfood store) and 500 mg. vitamin C in a glass of tomato juice. Shake or stir well before drinking. Kelp hae cumulative benefits. People who use it regularly soon notice a marked increage in both sexual and general energy. Another highly nutritive seaweed lood ie Dulse (Halymenia edulis & H. palmata) It is found along the British coast, and is one of the most well balanced mineral foods in the world. It cau be used along
with or instead of kelp.
RED CAPSICUIA (Copsicun frutescens) - This hot spicy red pepper is grown in India, Japan, Africa, the East Indies and tropical America. There are several qualities and potencies available, the most common is known in the markets as cayenne. It is regarded aa one of the purest and most positive stimulants in herbal medicine. It helps to purify the system, increases and equalizes the btood circulation, producee natural body heat, and wards off colds, When used on food
7
it produces a strong burning sensation in the mouth but it does not cause any physic.l injury. Those who have not acquired a taste for it may prefer to put it into gelatin capsules. 30 to 125 mg. is the usual recommended dosage. Some
people like to make a powerful stimulant blendof equal-parts (powdered) Korean gin""ng, ginger and capsicum' Needless to say, the daily use of capsicum or the blend quickly stirs up erotic energies. COTTON ROOT /Gossypium herbaceum) - The root bark of this herb from Asia \4inor has been used for many centuries to encourage contractions in childbirth, ease labor pains and to bring on delayed monthlies' For this latter purpose it is safer and more effective than ergot. It is also useful for overcoming sexual o T*o ounces of the root bark are added to one pint of lassitude in either ""*. minutes. Strain the liquid and give doses of one wineboiling water for three glassful no more often than three hours apart.
FO-Tl-TIENG (Hydrocotyle Asiatica minor) - The noted chinese herbalist , Li chung Yun, *." full of good advise on how ro retain ones youth, he_alth and sexual v"igor throughout life and live to a vitally ripe old age- He advocated strict vegetarianisir, believed that with the exception- o-f ginseng one.should
eat only f'ood that grew above the ground and recommended that one should keep like a torfoise, walk sprightly. like a pigeon., and sleep a quiet heart, "Iul-ly But his most important prescriP^tion. *?" th,".daily use of soundly like a"itdogFo-ti-tieng, a loJgrowing planr of ihe penny*'ort family found in the jungle marshes oi the Asian tropics. Unfortunately this worthy €tentleman d-ied in 1933. But I suppose we should not feeI too badly because it is a matter of record with the Chinese government that he was born in 1677. Li was 256 at the time of his death and hid only recently married his twenty-fourth wife. He had his own teeth and hair and look"d utoot 50 when over 200' Typically, the bulk of the scientific world preferred to ignore something which surpassed. their understanding. But there were exceptions: The well known French biochemist, Julee Lepineiound in the leaves and seeds of this plant an alkaloid which has a rejuvenating influence on the nerves, brain cells and endocrine glands. Professor illenier of"the Academis Scientifique near Paris made similar observations. The famous Indian sage and guru, Nanddo Narian at the age of 10? in{ormed his followers that thils herb iontains a missing ingredient in man's diet without which we can never completely control disease and decay. Short term experiments with Fo-ti-tieng (*ii"h in Chinese means elixer of long_life) show that the daily use of % tel.poon of the powdered herb in a cup_ of hot (not boiling) u" lines and wrinkles, improves digesof aging, water softens t.ny "r"h "ign" tion and general healih, and has a calming effect on the nerves while tremendously inlreasing physical and mental energies. Larger doses -- I 9t 2 tableact as in'aphrodisiac with cumulative effects especially when sexual "poon" -is lagging. vitality
MARIJUANA (Cannabis indica) - Anything which generally turns you on to life is bound to turn you on to sexual pleasures. I think we all agree that sex and life are one, The aphrodisiac nature of marijuana has been tecogriized for many centuries. In India aphrodisiac bon-bons are made from the seeds and leaves of cannabis mixed with musk and honey. It is not that marijuana has any particular stimulating effect on the gonads, but rather that it relaxes the mind- and body, diminishes unnecessary inhibitions, and opens one to sensual awareness. Recent scientific studies show that pot smokers engage in 60 to 8O% more sexual activity than non-users. There is a possible reverse effect, however, that should be mentioned: Marijuana and other psychedelics have a way of bringing out the truth. If a Person is with someone merely because of general unspecific horniness, fear of loneliness or any other dishonest motiva-
B
tion rather than love or genuine sexual attraction, marijuana can turn him off instead of on because it makes him aware of the deception. The two-sided effects of the more powerful psychedelics are even ro." p.onoun.ed. This does not mean that if your mate is tripping on grass or acid, but does not feel in the mood for love that you should necessarily assume that it is all over between you. Psychedelics can sometimes turn a person inward to his private contemplations. .often they bring on floods of creative thought which temporarily override all else. Genera.lly_, however, many couples find that a sharedloint or a {ew tokes of hashish before bed time is a x'onderful prelude to an evening of love.
o OTHER APITROOISIAC HERBS Wise men of ancient times including Aristotle, who held much influence with Alexander the Great, forbade the use of wild mint (Ilentha satiua) by soldiers in times of war because it aroused them eroticallyand took away their animosity and courage to fighr. In ancient Greece and ilaced.nia *ini tea was made stronger than it is in our countrl.'lhe correct way tomake minttea as was done in Aristotle's dav is to bring the water to boiling then remove the kettle from the flame and let it stand for one minute before pouring one pint of it over one ounce of the leaves. Let the leaves steep for three minutes n,ith the lid on the teapot before serving. Never boil mint tea because that will evaporate the essence. '.{ncient Egyptians, [Iindus and chinese were fond of liquorice roor. The pharaohs enjoyed a viralizing and refreshing beverage made of it called mai su.s. The chinese chened the root to give them strengthand endurance.The Hindus made a tea of it with milk and honey to increase iheir sexual vigor. The extracted juices of the fresh root are best for this purpose. If this is not available a pound of the dried root can be cut into small pieces and boiled in 3 pints of water. Strain the liquid and boil down to one quart. serve with honey and milk. This combination has been also found to be soothing for ulcers. In 1950 it was discovered that liquorice root contained substantial quantities of estrogen, the female sex hormone, t Vanilla is another well known flavoring substance which has unquestionable aphrodisiac qualities. Madamme DuBarri used to serve it to her lovers to keep them perpetually ready. obviously the small amounts of vanilla used to flavor ice cream and desserts ar" lia.dly enoupih to lead a person to the bedroom. l,arger quantities are needed. If anyone wishes to experiment with this substance it is best that they begin wiih one or two pods and gradually increase the dose, llxcessive amounts oivanilla can have toxic ef{ects. Vanilla flavoring is extracted from the bean pods of the vine, Vonilla planifolia, a member of the orchid family. Workers who handle these pod.s daily often develop severe skin irritation. It is curious that many scholars believe that Satyrion, the legendary aphrodisiac of the Greeks, was actually the root of orchishircina-another member of the orchid family-served in goats milk. t Several plants of the pepper family have a hist.ory as aphrodisiacs: Motico leoves (Piper angustifolium) have been used as a sex stimulant by the.Peruvian Indians for manv centuries. one talbespoon of leaves is added to e-ach cup of boiling water. Aiter a minrrte the pot is taken off the flame. It is then allowed to stand for half an hour. Then the liquid is strained and put outside in the cold air (a refri6;erator wiil do), and later it is served chilled. cubeb pepper berries (Piper cubebal are also well known for their abilitv to arouse libido. The dried berries can be run through a pepper grinder and used as a condiment or crushed and brewed r" u t"u. The siimuiating component appears to be the volatile oil. This can be extracted with brandy or pure grain spirits. In china an infusion of the leaves is used for exciting und "ir"ngih"ning the male organ. Those rvho have read Herbal Highs are fuuri"liu. with airother member of the pepper family, Kovo-kovo (piper mithysticum) the root of this

plant is brewed as a pleasant and harmless narcotic beverage in the South Sea Islands. Alcohol extracts Kava resin and can be evaporated off. Saliva activates the resin. A dab during oral love makes a woman's clitoris feel warm and tingly. ' A jui." extracted from the root of Sqtqvor, a climbing plant of hidia is mixed with honey, nilk and clarified butter. This pleasant tasting combination increases the secretion of semen in the male and corrects many disorders of the female and male genitals. The root of another botanical from India, Spreoding Hogweed, is ground int, a powder and applied to the soles of the feet te delav ejaculation. It will be remembered that elservhere in this book two other instances of this unusual method of application rvere cited - Henna and Sensitive plant. There are two kinds of Spreading Hog*eed found in India: red and white. Ilhite is the one rvhich is used. ' Gotu Kolo is a member of the pennyrrort famill closelv related to Fo-ti-tieng. It is native to India, the nearby islands of India and parts of South .{frica. In these places it is used as a blood purifier and brain energizer. { ferv fresh, rarv leaves eaten daily rvill revitalize the brain and sex organs. It is also used to prevent nervous breakdown. The Sinhalese have a saying about this herb: "Two leaoes a day keep old age away." If the seeds are obtainable it can be grown in hot houses or outdoors in warm clinrates. The plant favocs net marshlands. If the lresh plant is not available, the dried le.v"s can be sprinkled on food or made as a tel. o.{nother aphrodisiac from [ndia, Koisundo, is an annual usually found near pools, irrigation ditches and other wet places. 'lhe seeds are crushed in milk and honey or combined with other stimulants and aphrodisiacs to treat impotence. A paste made from the seeds is applied to the walls of a loose vagina to contract it and make it a tighter fit to give greater p[easure to the male, Another astrin' gent herb which is used as a douche before intercourse to tighten the vagina is Kino rcol (Cerdniun macuLatum)also known as wild alum. The broken root pieces can be boiled as a tea for this purpose and used again several times. Or one level teaspoon of the powder can be disolved in % pint of boiled water. Allow to cool belore using. ' Muiropuomo bork is chewed or boiled as a tea by natives of the Amazon and Orinoca basins in South America, It contains a resin which has strong stimulant and aphiodisiac qualities. Six to ten teaspoons ate boiled for l5 rninutes in one pint of water. I find it unpleasant to chew the bark because the wood splinters tend to catch in the throat. Some people smoke the bark {or a stimulating high, but I find the smoke excessively harsh. The tea, however, is pleasant enough. ' Another exotic stimulant is Guoioc bork frorn South America and the West Indies. Its active constituant is the resin. One ounce of the shavings is boiled l5 minutes in one pint oI water. One tablespoon of this liquid is taken three times a day. It is often used in combination with sarsaparilla a" a blood pucifier. ' In Arabia Yemenite men consume large amounts of nutmeg to increase virility. I would not recommend more than a level teaspoon at a time, because more than that is likely to make a person feel sluggish rather than stimulated. o Ginger is an invigorating stimulant for both the gonads and the body in general. The dried root or root powder can be boiled as a tea with a dash of cloves and nutmeg thrown in to improve flavor. It is most powerful, bowever, when the fresh root is chewed. It seems hot to the taste,but does no damage tothe mucous ruembranes.I have found lhat chewing a {ew small pieces oI the fresh root (an old Chinese cure) will wipe out an oncoming cold or case of flu in less than 30 minutes if used immediately at the first symptoms. t The Callahuayos of Bolivia boil the seeds of vilco (Anadenanthera colubrina) in honey and water and use
it as a stimulant
and aphrodisiac,
Vilca seeds are also used as a powerful and intoxicating snuff. I doubt if the seeds can be easily procured in our own country. ' Thet" is a long list of condiments and spices rvhich have had an impressive history as erotic stimulants especially among the ancient Greeks and Ronrans. These include onise, thyme, morjorom, bosil, rosemory, soge, sayory, boy leof, celondine, myrrh, cinnomon,
l0 olspice, benzoin, ond colomus. The stimulating effect of most of these spices
would probably be felt only by a person who has been for some time on, Lland diet' The regular use of well seasoned foods inures us to most of these mild stimulants. calamus is a differont matter, however. Asarone, the essential oil
oI Acorus calamus (also called sweet flag root) contains substantial quantities of TMA-2, a substance closely related to mescaline and lB times as potent. o Jimson weed (Datura stramonium) and related plants have been used for seduction, but they are dangerous and merely stupefy the victim and render her helpless. This can not be called erotic behaviour between consenting adults.

For"them herbal doctors have prescribed wineglass doses of either Lody's Smock (Cardamine pratensis) or Pussy willow (Salix discolor) I oz. per pint boiling water. on the other hand many of us are unwittingly consuming substances which have a destructive effect on our sexual health.Lunch meatsiu"h u" liverwurst, bologna, pastrami- and hot dogs contain large amounts of potassium nitrate (saltpeter). This ehemical was frequently sprinkled on prisoner's food to stifle sexual desire. Also devitalized foods like ihese displace nutrient foods in our bodies and weaken our potency and general healih. Tobacco depietes our erotic powers, and -as everyone knows- kissing a person who smokes is like kissing an ashtray. Birth control pills upset the normal hormone balance in women and frequently cause loss of libido and frigidity. Toxic preservatives and chemical additives help to make women frigid and turn men into sexual weaklings. Because it relaxes our inhibitions a little alcohol (preferably white wine)-can sharpen cupid's arrow, but even a little too much can dull it. A cup of coffee on occassion may give us a lift and possible waken our sexual vigoi during a moment of laziness, but excessive and habitual coffee drinking dJinitely weakens sexuality. other offenders are aspirin compounds, menthJl, and too frequent use of citrus_fruit (especially limes), acid drinks, vinegar, verbain and valerian' Many people find cocaine a wonderful aphrodisiac "and I have found no indications of harm in the moderate use of this illegal substance.

Culpepper, one of the most respected of the early herbalists once wrote of prickly. osporogus: "A decoction of the roots boiled in wine being taken fasting several mornings together stirreth up bodily lust in a man or w6men whatever some hath written to the contrary". Folklore and a multitude of herbalists confirm this statemenr and hold thai the use of either the roots, stalks or seeds is effective. several modern authorities have expressed their doubts about the plant's usefulness as a love stimulant and insist that the phallic appearance of the shoots were the sole foundation for any such claims. I have'found a scientific basis for the vegetable's salacious reputation, however, which may Permanently end this dispute, The metabolism of protein in our bodies produces
1I
excess amounts of ammonia which linger in our tissues and make us tired, sluggish, irritable and sexual uninterested. Asparagus contains substantial quantities of aspartic acid, an amino acid which neutralizee and removes these waste products. Experiments with potassium and magnesium salts of aspartic acid have overcome cases of chronic exhaustion and increased sexual responsiveness in a matter of days. Asparagus is also rich in potassium, phosphorus and calcium, all necessary for maintenance of a high energy level. Soybconr and beeis are also abundant in aspartic acid, Beets have a reputation as an aphrodisiac food dating back to Greek and Roman times. 'Gorlic, the delicious little bulb whose odor has a reputation for driving away vampires (as well as nearly everyone else) has many aphrodisiac qualities for the one who has eaten it if not for the one who has to kiss the one who eats it. If grown in the proper soil it contains adequate amounts of iodine necessary to healthy thyroid function. In India men rub a mixture of garlic and lard on the penis and back to secure a powerful erection, The Ammites of China, one of the most lascivious peoples in the world, credit much of their lustiness to the large quantities of garlic they consume. 'Throughout Eastern Europe the Gypsies use large portions of row pumpkin seeds as a food and recognize that this prevents prostrate disorders and preserves male potency, The raw seeds contain hormones which are good for the genito-urinary passages and promote male hormone production. They are also a rich source of phosphorus, B vitamins and unsaturated fatty acids. All of these nutriments, as *e shall explain Iater in this book, are essential for a healthy sex life. o Celety - especially the seeds - has long been known for its benefits as a stimulant for sexual health. ' Men working in chocolate factories and drinking cocoo and milk to near excess have reported a notable increase in sex drive. This may have been due to the stimulating alkaloid, theobromine found it that beverage. I can not recommend unusual quantities of hot chocolate as a love potion, however' Too much coca robs the body of calcium and tends to clog the kidneys. Also, the large amounts of sweetener - natural or synthetic - taken with the drink are not good for our bodies. ' Hon.y has been creditted with aphrodisiac properties, But this discoverywas made inthe earlier ages before large,commercial enterprises started refining it and adulterating it with sugar or corn syrup (regardless of what they say on the lable). If you use honey, buy the dark, unclarified kind from a rePutable health food store - preferably one which is a member of OM, the Otganic lVterchants. Actually the sexual and nutritional qualities of honey are due to the presence of pollen granules.Pollen is a food we are not used to. It is delicious pluin o. sprinkled on desserts or in milk shakes. It is high in protein, vitamin C, B nitamins and minerals. lt also contains substances which stimulate the production of sex hormones, o Erotic stimulation has been attributed to many ioods. We will present a list at the end of this section. Often the potency of these victuals has been greatly exaggerated. Nevertheless there is a definite connection between nutrition and healthy sexual function. The etimulating effect of certain foods, condiments and herbs depende greatly upon what the body is accustomed to.. For example: if a person who has been a strict vegehrian for a long time were to eat a large rare steak,he would feel a tremendoue rush of blood pressure within 15 minutes' his face would become flushed, his body warm and his (or her) sexual urges would be most intense. Aftera few mo"L si*ilar dinners, however, he *oul-d become accustomed to the etimulating substances in meat and his reactions would no longer be so Pronounced' Here is p list of traditionally aphrodisiac foods which have not as yet been mentioned in this book; Fish, shellfish (especially oysters), caviar, shad roe, cod-liver oil (experiments prove this works)' wild game, liver, kidneys, tripe, animal testes, lobsters, crabs, crayfish, shrimp, milk, eggs, carrots' turnips, artichokes, Iegumes, radishes, horseradish, paprika, mustard, saflron, gentian, chia seeds, curry, cardamoms, figs, fresh fruit (especially grapes and cherries but not too

SEX ANO NUTRITIOI{ Now that we have begun to understand the influence of vitamins, minerals and other nutriments on general heallh more people are taking a positive and active interest in seeing that they and their families are provided correctly with allof these necessities.'lhis is not a fad; it is common sense. I{e know how.detrimental it would be if we should fail to supply our automobiles with the correct oil, water and gasoline. It is even more important with our bodies. They are living machines with specific needs which we must understand. We should not treat them badli'or feed them junk. Unlike our cars rve can not trade them in for ner,ones when thev break down.General health influences sexual health, of course. The condition of our nerves, blood, arteries, heart, muscle tone and digestion can greatlydetermine our abilities in bed. Our sexuality is not merely in our gonads. It permiates everv cell in our bodies. A motto to remember: YOU ARE YOUR SEX ORGAN. One of the farthest organs from the genitals is the pituitary gland. It lies at the base of the brain and has more to do with our sexuality than any other single organ in the body. It is often called the master gland because it produces hormones which in turn influence the hormone production of all other glands. It is divided into tn,o sections: the anterior pituitary and the posterior pituitary. Generally speaking the anterior influences male sexual activity (sex hormone and sperm production and masculine personality traits) while the posterior influences {emale activity (sex hormone and milk production, uterine contractions during labor and feminine personality traits). AIso, this double sided gland prevents prernature aging of the sexual organs and early menopause. These remarks are a simplit'ied description of pituitary activities. It is infinitely more complex. 'Io function properly this gland requires ample protein, B vitamins (especially 82, pantothenic acid and choline) and vitomin E. 'lhe latter (often called the sex vitamin) is found in greater concentration in the pituitarythan anywhere else in the body.lt particularly effects the anterior pituitary's influence on male hormone production. This is one reason why men who have been taking large doses of vitamin E or wheat germ oil usually notice a marked increase in their sexual capacities. The antioxydent nature of this vitamin helps to retard the aging process. It also protects the sex hormones from oxydizing. Extreme deficiencv of vitamin E can lead to wasting diseases, weakness of the muscle tissues, disorders of the reproductive glands, incurable degeneration of the testes, sterility, miscarriige, stillbirth-s, and spontaneous abortion, vitamin E has been used succ"s=fully to treat difficult menopause symptoms; hot flashes, backache, excess menstruai fl9w, high blo-od pressure and muscle pains. It also improves heart response. This is an advantage for athletes of both the outdoor and "indoor" uari"ty. since it is non-toxic 400 to 1600 units or more can be taken daily without any ill effects.'lhe only circumstances under which large amounts of the vitamin might be unadvisable are where the person is alreaJy receiving insulin, digitalis orheavv doses oI iron.Vitamin E is found in raw, unrefined-vegetable oils unroasted seeds and nuts, and raw wheat germ. If you buy the vitamin itself get 400 unit capsules of natural mixed tocopherols. Synthetic vitamin E requires six times the natural dosage to approximate the same results. a Vitomin A rvorks hand in hand with vitamin E- lf you are using lots of E you should also get 2ir,000 units of A. t Unsoturoted fotty ocids (sometimes called vitamin F) are nece.ssary for the proper assimilation of A and E. They are required for normal gland activitv and have been used ro treat prostate and mensirual disorders. I'hev are found in rarv oils along with E. Abundant use of vitamin F increases sexual. potency. 'Daily use ol cod-liver oil has been found to augment the sex drive. It is rich in vitamins A and D. The latter hu" u *.uy Jf energizing the body at the same time as relaxing it. a The hormones of the
l3 adrenal and prostate glands are extremely rich in vitomin C so tve ntust keep them well supplied x'ith this substance. Besides its many other uses in protecting us from colds and spinal problems, this vitamin also prevents varicose veins in pregnant women. Combined with B complex vitamins it helps to regulate the flow of female sex hormones. Although the National Research Council (the government agency which sets the minimum daily requirements) tells us that 30mg per day is sufficient, this amount for most people is barely enough to prevent scurvy, rvhich is the l'inal stage of C deficiency. .{ctually most of us shor:ld take about 3,000 mg daily (1,000 with each meal) ' \ll of the B complex vilomins influence the production of sex hormones in both the male and female; all are necessary for general health. Some of the B vitamins have very speci{ic effects on sexual health and bedroom ability. Bl is required to convert body fuels into energli. Deficiency soon results fatigue, depression, anxiety and apathy. 82, the youth vitamin, keeps the skin lustrous and alive. 83, niacin, overcomes schizophrenic tendencies rvhich no one h'ants in a lover. Choline keeps the arteries voung. Biotin preserves mental health and appetite. And B12 helps to control de6leneration of the central nervous system. Deficiencl' of this vitamin in men results in sterility. In women during the embrionic stage of pregnancl'812 deficiencv may deform the child with hair-lip, cleft palate or blindness.,{nother important B vitamin of which you may trever have heard is vitarnin lll5 (pongomic ocid.) Its function is to bring oxygen, the supporter of Iife, to all the tissues. Because of this it helps to pcevent premature intpotence, and most degenerative diseases including old age. Rats that rvere given large doses of 815 had extended periods o{ youth and nearly doubled their life span.The reasonyou maynever have heard of it is because information has been suppressed. \ritamin B15 is illegal in this countrl. You can not even get it on prescription. It is used freely and with much success in manv other countries including the Soviet tlnion. Why has the Food Drug Administration
forbidden Americans to use it? They explain that it has not been properly tested, but have nrade no attempts to test it themselves. 'lhey sav that it may have some toxic side effects. Yet the toxic dose is 10,000 times the therapeutic dose.Conrpare this to the toxic dos-e o[ aspirin of any of the nonprescription
cold medicines (none of which do anv good)' If you love the American \ledical Association you had best avoid this vitamin' Think of how much monev (and power) they will lose if the incidence of arterial sclerosis, heart disease and cancer in the [Jnited States'is vastly reduced. If you seek a long, healthv and sexually active Iife you will have to get the forbidden vitamin from natural sources. Yeast products are quite good, but by far the richest sourcc of vitanrin Bl5 is the kernel of the apricot. These Iittle aimond-like nuts are a favorite food of the l{unzas, those incrediblv healthy people of the Himalayas who have no doctors and usually live to be well over a hundred' There is more in the apricot kernel than vitamin Bl5, but we will talk about that later in this book. d D"fi"i"n"y in iron results in tired blood. An anemic person is alnrost bound tn be a failuie in bed.lron isbest absorbed from natural foodsources along rvith vitamin C. It is found abundantly in most vegetables, fruits and meats, and is especially plentiful in liver and yeast. The rnain problem rvith iron is that it is difficult for some people to absorb it into their system. An apple eaten after a meal tremendously asiists the absorbtion of iron. t Polossium, mognesium and colcium are important in our sex lives because they help to overcome exhaustion. o Mongonese is important in reproduction and the proper lunction of the nammaryglands. aZincplays a significant roll inthe growth and maturity of the male sexial organs. Deiicien"y results in unhealthy changes in the structure and size of the prostate gland 'l'here is more zinc in the male reproductive system than anywhere else in the bodv. The highest concentration is in the prostate and seninal fluids and most of all in the sperm cells. \lore than 60% of America's soil is deficient in zinc' Artificial fectilizers are largely to blame.

A IIEf, APPROACH TO BIRTH CO}ITROL Loctrite, also called vilomin Bl7, destroys cancer cells without harming normal tissue. As might be expected the FDA has declared it illegal. It was discovered and developed by one of the most respected scientists of this centur/, Ernst Krebbs, sr., and his son Ernst Krebbs, jr, How it works will be described more thoroughly soon in a Stone Kingdon book called Mego-heolth. But I will outline it briefly here because it shows us what cancer is andbydoing soopenstous an amazing new system of birth control: When the egg and sperm cells unite at conception the new cell formed begins dividing. When four new cells are formedoneof these (the zygote) separates and continues to reproduce itself. Under the influence of estrogen hormone the other three divide into new types
16
of cells called trophoblasts. These trophoblast celis eat a niche in the uterus wall. Later, when the zygote cells have multiplied tc a cluster of 5I2 cells
they move to the uterus wall. One of these zygote cells separates and takes its
place in the niche cut by the trophoblasts and begins developing into the embryo. The remaining 511 cells stand b1' and wait. In the sixth week of pregnanc)' the stand$y cells separate and enter the embryo. About B0% of thern go to the area of the gonads where later in life they participate in the production of sperm or egg cells. The other 20% scatter elsewhere throughout the body where theyremain without srgni{icance unless estrogen activates them todivide into trophoblasts, If this happens we have cancer - because cancer cells and trophoblasts are one and the same thing. Norr'rally in the post natal body or the
prenatal uterus trophoblast activity is kept under control by a pancreatic enzyme, If this enzyme is deficient, cancer results. Chemically, laetrile is a
cyanide molecule safe,ly sandwiched between two other molecules. Don't cringe at the thought of cyanide. It is always present in the body, since it is a normal product of metabolism just like ammonia and carbon dioxide (these too are poisons). Our body cells produce an enzyme (rhodanese) which neutralizes metabolic cyanide before it can harm our tissues. Trophoblast cells, however, donot produce this protective enzyme.lnstead they manufacture another enzyme (beta-glucuronidase)whichreleasesfrom the laetrile the deadly cyanide (deadly to the trophoblasts only) right at the site of lhe cancer. In brief the cancer cell
contains the perfect trap for its own destruction but no defense, while the
normal cell contains the perfect defense against the cyanide but no trap. Well, if laetrile can destroy abnormal cancerous trophoblasts why shouldn't it do the same to normal ones in the pregnant uterus? This theoretically sound possibility prompted the people at Stone Kingdom to set up an underground laboratorv to study the potential of laetrile as a birth control; first on rats, then on humans. It is illegal in the U.S.A. to use laetrile on human cance, Patients. But laetrile (vitamin Bl?) is derived from the kernels of apricots where it occurs naturally and in abundance. We have recently found that if a cancer patient's digestion is still functioning properly he can assimilate the laetrile directly from the apricot kernels, but they ntust be chewed thoroughly. Since this is so the kernels should also prove to be an effective contraceptive- Our theory has received some stronB verification. First we Iearned of several cases of miscarriage in pregnant women who were taking laetrile for cancer. Then we found out that for centuries Polynesian girls have eaten a handful of papaya seeds daily to avoid pregnancy before marriage- Many mod American girls on Maui are now enjoying the same freedom' Laetrile is found in many kinds of seeds- Papaya seeds are a very rich source. The evidence is becoming so clear that we decided io announce this possibility even before our experiments were completed. Our planet has a problem of population (among other problems)' StoneKingdorn does notwant to keep its experiments secret so that it may catch the glory {or the discovery later. We niust keep each other informed of possible solutions now. Knowledge belongs to the people. The daring among you may wish to experiment on yourselves with apricot kernels. Twenty-five a day should be enough. Assuming that it works you would become pregnant for no more than 24 hours before having a tiny unnoticeable miscarriage. Unlike "the pill"if you skip a day it will not greatly matter. Those of you who do not want to rely on an unproved contraceptive may take the kernel as an added precaution along with your present method. At the very least they are tremendously nutritious.- Mary the Breath of Cod bringknoutledge and wisdon to the minds of men. N,I.
