SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
Purpose of This Volume
?
There are many factors which can cause a person to speak loshon hora. The three primary factors are:
?
(1) A lack of awareness of what a Jew is and is not permitted to say. It is in response to this that we have compiled Sefer Chofetz Chaim, which is a code of laws of proper speech.
?
(2) Satan’s powerful efforts in this area, as he seeks to indict us Above and to cause our prayers to be rejected (as stated in the holy Zohar, which will be cited in a forthcoming chapter).
?
(3) Ignorance of the methods through which one can succeed in avoiding the urge to gossip. As Scripture states, “For with strategies shall you wage war for yourself” (Mishlei 24:6).
?
It is in response to the second and third factors that we have authored this work (Sefer Shmiras Haloshon), a compilation of Aggadic teachings from the Talmud, Midrash and the holy Zohar, which speak of the great reward, in this world and the next, for guarding
one’s tongue, and of the retribution that can result from the terrible sin of speaking loshon hora.
?
We have also labored, with the help of Hashem, to compile from the thoughts of our Sages many methods and suggestions for how to escape the snare of the sin of loshon hora. It is our hope that this will inspire and aid the reader to overcome his inclination
to speak the forbidden, so that he can develop the precious, sterling quality of shmiras haloshon.
?
Because this present work contains many topics that are of vital interest, it is therefore exceedingly precious to me. Therefore, I have given it a title of its own,1 Shmiras Haloshon, based upon the verse,? “One who guards his mouth and tongue, guards his
soul from tribulations” (Mishlei?21:23).
?
- I.e. Though this compilation of Aggadic teachings and insights is actually another section of Sefer Chofetz Chaim, the author gave it a title of its
own.

Can lifestyle medicine help reverse my health issues?
Question: What’s an example of an impressive lifestyle medicine success?
?
Alan answers:
A few months ago I spoke about our successes with difficult medical cases. Here’s a new one to add to the list:
Mr. F came to The Wellness Clinic to stabilize cirrhosis of the liver. After 3 months of guided lifestyle changes in both eating and activity/exercise, Mr. F went for new blood work. What a difference - 37 point drop in cholesterol, a 10 point drop in blood sugar!
But what we really notice is a much better liver function. There is a substantial drop in a key liver enzyme, indicating that his liver condition is not only stable but is indeed REVERSING! The power of lifestyle medicine is quite amazing!

Negative Commandments
?
In his introduction to Sefer Chofetz Chaim, the Chofetz Chaim enumerates 17 negative commandments which one may
violate when speaking or listening to loshon hora. Below are the negative commandments most commonly transgressed:
?
1) You shall not be a gossipmonger among your people (Vayikra?19:16).
?
2) Do not accept a false report (Shemos 23:1), which prohibits both speaking and accepting loshon hora (Pesachim 118a).
?
3) Beware of a tzaraas affliction, to be very careful and to act (Devarim 24:8), which Sifre explains as a reference to loshon hora for which tzaraas is a punishment.
?
4) And you shall not place a stumbling block before the blind (Vayikra?19:14),
by causing others to sin.
?
5) Take care, lest you forget Hashem, your God (Devarim?8:11)
through arrogance (Sotah 5a) — a prime cause of loshon hora.
?
6) You shall not desecrate My holy Name (Vayikra?22:32).
?
7) You shall not hate your brother in your heart (Vayikra?19:17).
?
8) You shall not take revenge...
?
9) and you shall not bear a grudge (Vayikra?19:18).
?
10) That he not be like Korach and his assembly (Bamidbar 17:5), who caused strife among the Jewish people.
?
11) Each of you shall not aggrieve his fellow (Vayikra 25:17) through hurtful words.
?
12 (You shall reprove your fellow) and do not bear a sin because of him (Vayikra?19:17)
by embarrassing him in the course of your reproof.
?
(The five remaining negative commandments are found in Shemos?22:21;
23:2; Vayikra?19:14;
Bamidbar 35:33; and Devarim?19:15.)

A downward trend for high cholesterol
Question: How can I lower my cholesterol without medication?
?
Alan answers:
"Hard work and diligence can do what no medication can ever do!
?
My client Elisa just lowered her cholesterol by 114 points in 7 weeks. Yes, 114 points, with NO MEDICATION. When Elisa came to The Wellness Clinic she was obese and her cholesterol was dangerously high. I gave her an eating program which changed her from a standard Western diet to a more plant-heavy, anti-inflammatory program without processed foods. Elisa also began daily walks of 35-40 minutes. In follow up visits we added some muscle building exercises as well.
In less than two months Elise has lost 8 kilo and her cholesterol numbers are now outstanding! Her risk of a coronary event has drastically decreased!”
