Like many other psychological religionists, devotees of the Mighty I AM Presence believe in self-improvement. Like Mormons, they abstain from alcohol, narcotics, tobacco. They also abjure onions and garlic, feeling that their odors are repugnant to the Ascended Masters to whom they pray. Furthermore, they do not keep pets in their houses. People who follow these precepts and live an "I AM Presence-like life" are called "Hundred Percenters." Meeting in I AM reading rooms and auditoriums-of which there are five in California, two in Florida, others in Seattle, Chicago, Philadelphia-these Hundred Percenters pray together, believe their...

Another subject could eat normally, but his respiratory tract had been disconnected from his throat because of laryngeal cancer. This patient's breath was inhaled and exhaled through a tube inserted in the windpipe. Three hours after he ate salad garnished with onion and garlic, the air exhaled through the tube became malodorous. In this instance the breath had no contact with the mouth, throat, esophagus or stomach, must therefore have picked up the contamination in the lungs. Unwilling to trust their own sense of smell entirely, Drs. Blankenhorn & Richards called in technicians, hospital internes and residents...
