https://health-science-spirit.com/Healing_the_Body/Hypercoagulation.html 1/4There are several useful remedies as described in the following. My favorites are DMSO, nattokinase and Serrapeptase, Olive Leaf
Extract, wearing a magnet, and the occasional niacin ﬂush.
DMSO
DMSO is an amazing remedy. Among its wide range of healing properties are many that are very useful in reducing hypercoagulation
and its after-ef fects: It is an all-round microbicide effective against bacteria, fungi, mycoplasmas and viruses, It improves the immune
system and reduces allergies, It is strongly anti-inﬂammatory with good antioxidant properties, It blocks pain when rubbed onto
affected muscles or joints, It improves blood circulation by inhibiting formation of blood clots and hypercoagulation, it even dissolves
newly formed clots, It dilates blood vessels and improves the function of the heart, and It efﬁciently transports molecules across cell
membranes and moves through the blood-brain barrier.
Pure DMSO is not toxic and generally very safe but some precaution needs to be taken. For instance when applying DMSO for
transdermal treatment the skin should be clean and free of undesirable chemicals, such as from commercial lotions or sunscreens.
DMSO can be used on its own and applied over inﬂamed, stiff or painful muscles or joints, or over troublesome organs, or it can be
used to carry remedies or nutrients through the skin into the body.
To avoid skin irritation apply DMSO only in diluted form at 70% or less. Some products on the market are already diluted. For
common use you may make a treatment solution, e.g. in another glass bottle, by diluting full strength DMSO. To make it about 70%
mix 2 parts of 100% DMSO with 1 part of water, and for a weaker solution (50%) mix equal parts of DMSO and water. If you also add
other dissolved remedies, such as Magnesium Oil, Glycerine, MSM or Lugol's, then you can count this as part of the water.
Be careful, the solution gets warm when mixing DMSO with water, and while it does not harm the skin, spills may damage painted or
plastic surfaces. Depending on the degree of pain or inﬂammation DMSO  may be applied several times during the day over the area
of discomfort. The ef fect may be felt within minutes.
To dissolve congestions and prevent hypercoagulation it is best to apply  DMSO topically over the site of the problem, and also use
some orally, best at a time when taking supplements to aid with their absorption. A combined oral and topical daily dosage of 30 ml
may be the upper useful long-term maximum, but usually much less is used due to developing odour problems (garlicky smell) and
loose bowels. Depending on any microbial problem some sulphur or garlic smell may also be noticed as mouth or skin odour. This
may be controlled by using a weak solution of non-acidiﬁed MMS/sod ium chlorite to gargle or spray the skin. For further DMSO
information see MSM and DMSO.
Niacin Flush
Niacin is the acid form of vitamin B3. In amounts of 50 mg or more it causes the capillaries in the skin to dilate, making it look red and
ﬂushed, and feeling warm and prickly. This is excellent to clean the capillaries, remove residues and rejuvenate the skin. This is
called a niacin ﬂush. It lasts for about 30 to 60 minutes, starts soon after ingestion at the head and slowly works its way down towards
the legs. The ﬂush may be strongest where the skin was previously damaged as from a sunburn. Take niacin in a drink either on an
empty stomach or with a small amount of food present.
Sensitive individuals will ﬂush already with 50 mg, those with insensitive skin may need 100 mg or more. After using niacin for several
days increasing amounts are needed to produce a ﬂush. Therefore you may gradually increase the dose up to several hundred
milligrams to continue ﬂushing once a day. After two or three weeks you may then interrupt niacin use for one or two weeks to re-
sensitise the body and start again with a low dose. Alternatively you may take it only every other day or twice a week and keep
ﬂushing for a much longer time. During a ﬂush the skin will more easily absorb any remedies. Therefore it is good to rub something
beneﬁcial onto the skin just before ﬂushing.
Olive Leaf Extract
Olive Leaf Extract (OLE) is mainly recommended and used for its excelle nt antimicrobial effects but in addition it has a wide range of
other healing properties. Many of these combine to make it an effective remedy for reducing damage from hypercoagulation and
improving blood circulation. The main ef fects as shown in scientiﬁc publicatio ns are as follows:
•  OLE has strong anti-inﬂammatory properties, it suppresses inﬂammation by mopping up free radicals and enhances the activity
   of immune cells.
•  It reduces blood cholesterol levels and inhibits the oxidation of  low-density lipoproteins (LDL) that cause cholesterol plaques in
   arteries and atherosclerosis
•  It lowers elevated blood pressure by dilating blood vessels and also inhibits excessive platelet aggregation.
Other beneﬁcial effects are strong anti-cancer activity by inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells and promoting self-destruction of
cancer cells; it is protective of brain and nerve functions; it has an anti-aging effect by increasing the life-span of cells; it protects the
skin from radiation damage (especially UVB), and it also has anti-rheumatic and anti-diabetic ef fects.
Most of these positive effects have been found to be due to Oleuropein, the main active ingredient in OLE - see Oleuropein in Olive
and its Pharmacological Effects. I do not know how beneﬁcial fresh liquid OLE are compared to concentrated Oleuropein powders in
regard to treating hypercoagulation.  As antimicrobials fresh extract seem to have a beneﬁcial effect despite much lower oleuropein
concentrations due to a wider range of active ingredients.
Dried olive leaf has about 30 - 90 mg of oleuropein/gram. As a tea simmer 10 to 20 grams of dried leaves in 1 liter of water for 1 -2
hours, top up, strain and refrigerate, and drink 3-5 cups daily. However, it is bitter and you may use it instead as powder stirred in
juice, even if it is probably less ef fective.10/30/24, 8:22 AM Health-Science-Spirit - Hypercoagulation
https://health-science-spirit.com/Healing_the_Body/Hypercoagulation.html 2/4Therefore extracts in powder form are now commonly used. You may stir half a teaspoon in water or other non-protein liquid two or
three times daily and take before meals (oleuropein may be inactivated by high amino acid levels). The normal retail form is as
500mg capsules. In this case you may use up to 6 to10 capsules daily. Commercial liquids commonly contain only 4 mg of oleuropein
per ml. In powder form olive leaf extract commonly has 200mg of oleuropein per gram.
Fibrinolytic Enzymes
Nattokinase, originally from natto, fermented soy traditionally used in Japan, may be the most effective ﬁbrinolytic enzyme. It is
commonly available as capsules with 2000 FU or units of ﬁbrinolytic activity. The normal maintenance dose is one capsule each
before breakfast and dinner, best in a non-protein drink or followed by some fruit.
However, to clean already clogged blood vessels and dissolve clots a high dose of up to 12 spaced-out capsules have been used for
several months or until the blood circulation sufﬁciently improved. As a high dose it may be used as 2 or 3 capsules 3 or 4 times daily
before meals and bedtime. A comm on warning is not to use nattokinase by individuals with blood-clotting disorders leading to
excessive bleeding, or when using blood-thinning drugs such as warfarin.
Serrapeptase originally derived from silkworms, may be somewhat less effective in dissolving clots but it also dissolves other dead
tissue, such as scar tissue, adhesion s and cysts. Commonly used are 20,000 to 80,000 units/capsule but even 250,000 units/capsule
are available. Take on an empty stomach. It may be taken together with nattokinase.
Bromelain breaks down all kinds of unwanted protein residues. Activity tends to me measured as Gelatine Dissolving Units or GDU,
commonly 2000 GDU/gram. Take up to 6000 GDU daily


icker and more viscid. The mucous lining in the colon changes in consistency, failin g to provide a slick lubrication for the
movement of feces. Poor living habits contribute a great deal to poor bowel function. Not following a good program denies the
body regularity and consistency. It never knows what’s coming next and can’t depend upon a regular routine. It is always on the
defensive. This situation results in a depletion of vital nerve force and undermines the body’s ability to set periods of res t and
activity. Today, there are more than 45,000 laxative and cathartic remedies being manu factured and used by Americans alone.
Even when used sparingly and in an emergency, these substances should be used with great caution, if at all. The mechanism of
elimination is very delicate and easily upset. Once disturbed, it will often require weeks, maybe months, before it becomes
regular again. These substances, in order to evacuate the colon, are essentially poisons and irritants. They contribute nothi ng to
restore normal or natural processes of defecation. The poisoned colon tries to evacuate the offending substance as quickly as
possible, and pushes everything out including the compacted feces. Oftentimes, these harsh poisonous substances are absorbed
through the lymph and blood vessels and find their way to all parts of the body. This situation c ontributes to addiction and
overuse of these substances. Dependency upon laxative compounds will in time, permanently destroy the normal ability of the
bowel to eliminate naturally on its own accord. Laxatives tire out the bowel muscle by keeping it consta ntly working. Without rest,
it will soon fail and produce some of the conditions I will discuss in the next chapter. The only stimulation that the body s hould
have is through exercise. Any time we artificially stimulate the bowel, there is an opposite effe ct that manifests in which there is a
lack of tone in the muscle producing a weakness in that muscle structure. It is becoming increasingly clear that bowel troubl es
have a reflex effect upon specific organs in the body.

For example, Sir Arbuthnot Lane, who was a surgeon for the King of England, spent many years specializing in bowel problems.
He was an expert at removing sections of the bowel and stitching it back together. He taught this work to other doctors and g ained
an international reputation for h is efficiency. During the years of this work, he began to notice a peculiar phenomenon. During the
course of recovery from colonic surgery, some of his patients experienced remarkable cures of diseases that had no apparent
connection with his surgery. For instance, a young boy who had arthritis for many years was in a wheel chair at the time of
surgery. Six months later, this boy had recovered entirely from the disease. Another case involved a woman with a goiter. Whe n a
specific section of the bowel was re moved in surgery, there ensued a definite remission of the goiter within six months. These and
similar experiences impressed him so much because he saw the relationship between the toxic bowel and the functioning of
various organs in the body. After much t hought about this relationship, he became very interested in changing the bowel through
dietetic methods and spent the last 25 years of his life teaching people how to care for the bowel through nutrition and not surgery.
Sir Lane has said, “All maladies a re due to the tack of certain food principles, such as mineral salts or vitamins, or to the absence
of the normal defenses of the body, such as the natural protective flora. When this occurs, toxic bacteria invade the lower
alimentary canal, and the poison s thus generated pollute the bloodstream and gradually deteriorate and destroy every tissue, gland
and organ of the body.”

I am absolutely sure that what Dr. Lane discovered through his surgical explorations is in -deed an accurate description of how the
bowel functions in relation to the other organs in the body. We know that every organ and tissue is dependent upon the healthy
well-being of every other organ and tissue in order for there to be a total well -being. When one tissue or organ fails, it affects  the
whole body. If there is faulty functioning in the bowel, this deficiency is passed along to the rest of the body. We could ca ll this the
intestinal domino effect.

The frequency or quantity of fecal elimination is not an indication of the lack of cons tipation in the bowel. I know of cases that had
three and four movements a day and yet the bowel was quite encrusted and very constipated. Most people don’t know the
condition of their bowel. Unfortunately those who are not aware of their bowel function or  condition are sometimes the ones who
are developing the worst cases of bowel troubles. I find that constipation is usually going along with those bowels that have
diverticulosis. Very few people eat in an organized way, and for this reason, they have loos e bowels one day, stiff bowels the next
day, a smelly bowel one day, and so on. When regularity is absent in the diet, there is chaos in the bowel. In most cases, si mply
changing the diet and eating habits will alleviate many bowel problems without surgery.

WHAT GOES IN DOESN’T ALWAYS COME OUT
I am convinced that the bowel holds onto waste materials longer than anyone realizes. When we clean out the bowel and release  all
this old, rotting material, there will be a lessening of the gas, pain and autointoxic ation taking place. I believe that this toxic
material decaying away in the sigmoid colon is a good place for degenerative diseases to get started. Starches that haven’t b een
digested properly by the pancreatic secretions are not readily taken up by the bo dy and made into good tissue. These, in turn, can
come back to the colon and keep the body from having the proper colonic tone because of a lack of proper chemical development.
In addition, drugs can settle in the tissues of the body and it is the colon th at catches a good deal of these. By way of the mucus
membrane, the colon is used as an eliminative channel. When the membrane does not function properly, these drug deposits
accumulate in the bowel indefinitely and can produce a time -bomb effect; irritatio ns, inflammations and ulcerations. Here again,
food is very, very important to recognize because this is the one thing that brings back a chemical reserve and gives the pow er and
chemical structure to have good healthy tissue.

The dietary program that I h ave developed is probably one of the most important things I can give to you. It has proven itself well
in 30 years of sanitarium experience and has helped many people to regain their health. It takes care of the bulk, it takes c are of the
fiber, it takes care of the natural mucus membrane through proper chemical replacements. This program, coupled with an exercise
routine, will produce very good results for those afflicted with bowel disturbances.

THE FUNCTIONING OF THE BOWEL
We have to stop and think tha t when we eat there is peristaltic action in the bowel which moves the food down to the last part of
our elimination system, the large colon. Whenever we have three meals a day and a bowel movement once in five days, we’re
fifteen meals behind. Normally it  takes eighteen hours for food to go through the body and be eliminated. What is required to
move it along on time? Good bowel tone gives the power to the intestinal tract to move waste materials properly through the
system. If we don’t have good bowel ton e, we have to have an inciting measure, and one way of doing this is by using laxatives.
But we find that 95% of all laxatives are irritating to the bowel, and this is what forces the peristaltic action. It is caus ed by
irritation. Wouldn’t it be better to  have a bowel that could move along because you have the right power and bowel tone?
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a bowel wall that has all the potassium and all the right chemical elements to work normally?

We find there are other factors involved here, s uch as the liver activity. We have to have enough bile coming from the gall bladder
and the liver to give the bowel its natural incentive to produce bowel movements. The bowel is dependent upon other organs to o.
There is also the thyroid gland which is imp ortant to the body’s metabolism. The thyroid regulates a number of organ functions
and keeps them normal by releasing thyroxin into the body. The adrenal glands may be underactive. A person can feel so tired and
fatigued that he won’t exercise. You have to  feel lively to move and get going. An underactive thyroid can bring on low blood
pressure and anemia can keep us from a healthy level of physical activity. If the blood is anemic, the body tissue is anemic and
cannot do its job. We are tired “all over,” s o to speak.

CLEANING UP THE PAST
Above all, we now have to make amends for some of the things that happened in the past. I think accumulations in the bowel ha ve
to be looked after. The bowel is underactive. It hasn’t been fed properly. The bowel itself is  probably the most abused organ in the
human body. The reason I say this is if you ever go through a cleansing program, you will see things you’ll find hard to beli eve.
You don’t realize what can come out of the bowel. After just one cleansing treatment, I ’ve

called  the Christian religion existed  among  the ancients. They began to
call Christianity the  true religion, yet it never  existed."
34. Question:  Do you  use affirmations and  denials?
Answer:  Let us leave  these  schools of thought that use  affirmations and
denials. The  best affirmation, and  the only effective  one is an assumption
which, in itself implies denial of the  former  state.
The best denial is total indifference. Things wither  and die through indif -
ference. They are  kept alive  through attention. You  do not deny a  thing by
saying  it does not exist. Rather you  put feeling  into it by recognizing  it,
and what you  recognize as true, is true  to you, be  it good, bad  or indiffer -
ent.
35. Question:  Is it possible  for one  to appear  dead and still not be  dead?
Answer:  General Lee was supposed  to have  been born two years after  his
mother, believed  to be dead, was buried  alive.  Lucky for her  she was not
embalmed  or buried  in the  earth, but in a  vault where someone heard her
cry and  released  her. Two years later  Mrs. Lee bore  a son who became
General Lee. That is part of this country's history.
36. Question:  How could  one who was deprived  in his youth become a
success in life?
More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenAnswer:  We are creatures of habit, forming  patterns of the  mind which re -
peat themselves over  and over again. Although habit acts like  a com-
pelling  law which drives one  to repeat  the patterns, it is not a  law, for you
and I can change  the patterns. Many successful men  such as Henry Ford,
Rockefeller  and Carnegie  were deprived  in their youth. Many of the great
names in this country came  from poor families, yet they left behind  them
great accomplishments in the  political, artistic  and financial world.
One evening  a friend  of mine  attended  a meeting  for young advertising
executives. The  speaker  of the  evening  said to these  young  men:  "I have
but one  thing to say to you  tonight, and  that is to make yourself big and
you cannot fail."
Taking  an ordinary fish bowl, he  filled it with two bags, one  of English wal -
nuts and  the other  of small beans. Mixing  them with his hand, he  began
to shake the  bowl and  said, "This bowl is life.  You cannot stop  its shaking
as life  is a constant pulsing, living  rhythm, but watch." And  as they
watched  the big walnuts came  to the  top of the  bowl as the  little beans
fell to the  bottom.
Looking  into the  bowl the  man asked,  "Which one  of you  is complaining,
asking  why?" Then added, "Isn't it strange,  the sound  is coming  from
the bowl and  not the  outside. A   bean is complaining  that if he had had
the same  environment as the  walnut he, too would  do big  things, but
he never  had the chance." Then he  took a little bean from the  bottom of
the bowl and  placed  him on top  saying, "I can move  the bean through
sheer force, but I cannot stop  the bowl of life  from shaking," and  as he
shook  the bowl, the  little bean once again slid  to the  bottom.
Hearing  another  voice of complaint he  asked,  "What's that I hear? You are
saying  that I should  take one  of those  big fellows who thinks he  is so big
and put him on the  bottom  and see what happens to him? You believe he
will be  just as limited  as you  because  he will be robbed  of the  opportunity
of big  things just as you  are? Let's see."
Then the  speaker  took one of the  big walnuts and  pushed  him right down
to the  bottom of the  bowl saying, "I still can't stop  the bowl from
shaking,” and  as the  men watched  the big walnut came  to the  top again.
Then the  speaker added:
"Gentlemen, if you  really want to be  successful in life, make yourself big."
My friend  took this message to heart and  began to assume  he was a  suc-
cessful  businessman. Today he  is truly a  big man if you  judge  success by
dollars.  He now employs over  a thousand  people  in the  city of New York.
Each one  of you  can do what he  did. Assume  you are what you  want to

27th September, 1968.
A new idea will not become  part of your common currency of thought until
it has been repeated  over and over and you begin to live  by it.
You have been taught to believe  that God  exists outside  of you, but I say
you are all  Imag ination. That God  exists in us and  we in him. That our
eternal body is the  Imagination, and  that is God  Himself. I mean every
word I have  just said, but it is a  new thought. Until this new idea becomes
a part of your thinking, every time  you hear the  word, “God,”  your mind
will go out to something  you have conceived  God to be.
When I say I am, I am speaking  of the  Lord Jesus Christ of the  New Tes -
tament and  the Jehovah of the  Old. When you  go to bed  tonight and  put
your head  on a pillow, you  are aware  of being. That awareness is God! I
want to show  you how to use your awareness as brazen impudence.
In the  11th chapter  of Luke,  it is said  that Jesus was praying  when one  of
his disciples said:  "Lord, teach us to pray," at which time  he gave them
the Lord’s Prayer. Now, the Lord’s Prayer  that you  and I have  is translated
from the  Latin, which does not have  the imperative  passive  mood  neces -
sary to convey the  meaning  of the  prayer. In its original  Greek, the prayer
is like  brazen impudence, for the  imperative  passive  mood  is a standing
order, something  to be done absolutely and  continuously. In other  words,
"Thy will be  done,"  becomes "Thy will must be  being done." And  "Thy
kingdom come" becomes “Thy kingdom must be  being  restored."
That is not what is being  taught, however, as he  taught in the  form of a
parable  such as:   "Which of you  who has a  friend  would  go to him at mid -
night and  say to him, ‘Friend, lend   me three loaves, for a  friend  of mine
has arrived  on a journey and  I have  nothing  to set  before  him,’ and  from
within he  says, ‘Do not bother  me; the  door is shut and  my children are
in bed. I cannot rise  and give you anything.’ Yet I tell you, although he  will
not rise  because  he is a friend, yet because  of his importunity, he  will rise
and give him whatever  he needs." The  word importunity means brazen
impudence. In other  words, he  would  not take no for an answer!
Jesus was not teaching  a disciple  on the  outside  how to pray. He  was
telling  you how to adjust your thinking  so you  will not take no for an an -
swer. In the  story the  friend  knew what he  wanted.  He assumed  he had it
and continued  to assume  he had it until his assumption took  on the feel -
ing of reality and  he got it. This is how  you find God in yourself, by being
persistent in your assumption.
Then this story is told  to show  how you should  pray and  not lose heart:
More Free Books Law of Attraction Haven"In a certain city  there  was a  judge  who neither  feared  God nor regarded
man. There  was a  widow  in that city who came  constantly, asking  him to
vindicate  her against her  enemies. At first he refused, then he  said to
himself, ‘Although I neither  fear God  nor regard  man, yet because  this
woman bothers me  I will vindicate  her before  she wears me  out.’” Again
we see the need for persistence in prayer.

RECUPERATION - PHASE ONE
During the initial stage (lasting about ten days on the average to several weeks in others), the vital energies which are
usually in the periphery or external part of the bo dy such as the muscles and skin, begin to move to the vital internal
organs and start reconstruction.
This shunting of much of the power to the internal region produces a feeling of less energy in the muscles, which the
mind interprets as some weakness. Ac tually, the power is increased, but most of it is being used for rebuilding the
more important organs and less of it is available for muscular work.
Any weakness which is felt here is not true weakness, but merely a redeploying of forces to the more import ant
internal parts.

RELAX FOR SUCCESS
Here it is important for the person to stop wasting energy, and to rest and sleep more. This is a crucial phase, and if
the person resorts to stimulants of any kind, he will abort and defeat the regenerative intent of  the body. It is impor -
tant that he have patience and faith and just wait it out, and after a while he will get increasing strength which will
exceed by far what he felt before he began the new program.
Success in recovery or improvement of health hinges upon the correct understanding of this point - realizing that the
body is using its main energies in more important internal work and not wasting it in external work invol -ving muscle
movements. Be wise, take it easy here and relax. Just coast in,. your work and social obligations until you're out of the
woods.

RETRACING - CLEANUP
Retracing: As one continues on the improved diet and gradually raises the food quality, interesting symptoms begin to
appear.
The body begins a process called retracing.
"Now w e have a chance to get rid or this old garbage and build a beautiful new house. Let's get started immediately.
Let's get this excess bile out or the liver and gall bladder and send it to the intestines for elimination. Let's get the
sludge moving out of th e arteries, veins and capillaries. These smelly, gassy, brain -stupefying masses have been
here too long - out with them!
These arthritic deposits in the joints need cleaning up! Let's get these irritating food preservatives, aspirins, sleeping
pills and dr ugs out of the way, along with these other masses of fat which have made life so burdensome for us for so
long.
Let's get going till the job is done - till we have a beautiful house - and from there on we'll keep it a beautiful ideal
model house."

CATABOLISM - ELIMINATION
During the first phase (called catabolism), the accent is on elimination, or breaking down of tissue. The body begins to
clean house. - In short, to remove the garbage deposited in all the tissues - everywhere. During this period. the body
removes the ashes from the furnace preparatory. So getting a better fire.
Here the accentuation is on removal of the gross and immediate body obstructions. Wastes are dis -carded more
rapidly than new tissue is made from the new food. This becomes evident as weight loss.

STABILIZATION
This persists for a while and is then followed by the second phase - called stabilization.

 copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648 -1500    www.drbass.com                                                7

Here the weight remains more or less stable. During this phase, the amount of waste material being discarded daily is
equal to the amount of tissue which is being formed and replaced by the newer, more vital food. This occurs after the
excess of obstructing material in the tissues has been removed.

ANABOLISM - BUILDUP
This state persists for a while and is then followed by a third phase - a build -up period called anabolism, wherein
weight starts to go up, even though the diet is lower in  calories than it was before. At this point, much or more of the
interferring wastes have already been discarded. -
The tissues which have been formed since the diet was raised in quality are more durable and do not break down
easily. Also new tissues are now being formed faster. This is due to the improved assimilation made possible by the
ceasing of wrong food combining.
The body's need for the usual amounts of food decreases, and we are able to maintain our weight and increased
energies with less food. Many are able to function very efficiently on two meals a day. As the body progressively
increases efficiency and decreases in tissue breakdown under exercise, so do we gradually need less and less food
to maintain life.
The higher the percentage of raw fo od one lives on, the slower the rate of tissue deterioration which one evolves into.
A sick body requires a gradual carefully worked -out entry into this stage, where one is able to live on a 100% unfired
(raw) diet.

SKIN RASHES
Returning to the symptoms w hich occur on a superior nutritional program, people who have had tendencies in the
past to recurring skin rashes or eruptions will frequently tend to eliminate poisons and harmful drugs through the skin
with new rashes or eruptions. If they go to a doctor  now who is not familiar with this aspect of nutrition, he will
diagnose it as an allergy.
They ask. "How come. I'm eating better now than I ever did before, and instead I'm getting worse?" They don't
understand that the body is retracing.
The skin is gett ing more alive and active. It's throwing out more poisons more rapidly now that the body is building
more power which is saved from those hard -to-ingest meals which have been discontinued.

TOXINS DISCARDED
These toxins being discarded are saving you from more serious disease which will result if you keep them in your
body too much longer - possibly hepatitis, kidney disorders, blood disease, heart disease, arthritis, nerve
degenerations or even cancer - depending upon your hereditary or structural weakness es. Be happy you're paying
your bills now in an easy -payment plan.

CONSTRUCTIVE HOUSECLEANING
With some, colds which haven't appeared for a long time may occur, or even fevers. This is nature's way of
housecleaning. Understand that these actions are constructive, even though unpleasant at the moment. Don't, but
don't, try to stop these symptoms by the use of certain drugs, or even massive doses of vitamins, which will act as
drugs in huge concentrations.

RESPECT THE CURING PROCESS
These symptoms are part of a curing process, and don't try to cure a cure. These are not deficiency conditions or
allergic manifestations - not if you're eating properly in quality, quantity, combination and sequence.
Here is where experienced advice is a great value. Unfort unately, there are few books present today which give full
guidance to the average reader. Try to find guidance through a doctor or teacher who has the requisite experience in
this most confusing of all subjects - nutrition in relation to health and diseas e.

MILD OR SEVERE SYMPTOMS
You may he eating perfectly in regard to quantity, quality and observing all the correct rules, and still symptoms will
occur. Those who have lived better lives in the past - who have eaten better foods and who have abused their  bodies
less with overeating will have reactions ranging from almost none at all or very mild symptoms which may be
uncomfortable or acute.
Those who have lived worse lives and poisoned themselves more will experience more severe symptoms - if their
liver,  kidneys, or other important eliminating organs have been damaged. When they have been renovated to the
point of fair working order, they will no longer produce symptoms.

•   feelings of tiredness and weakness,
•   disinclination to exercise,
•   nervousness, irritability, negativity or mental depression,
•   frequent urination etc.
However, the great majority of people find their reactions tolerable and are encouraged to bear with them, because of
the many improveme nts which have already occurred and are becoming more evident with each day. This acts as an
inspirational force to them.

SYMPTOMS WILL DIFFER
The symptoms will vary according to the materials being discarded, the condition of the organs involved in the
elimination and the amount of energy you have available. The more you rest and sleep when symptoms are present,
the milder they are and the more quickly they are terminated. Be happy you are having symptoms.

YOUNGER AND HEALTHIER EVERY DAY
Realize deeply that your body is becoming younger and healthier every day, because you are throwing off more and
more wastes which would eventually have brought pain, disease and much suffering.
Those who have the worst symptom -reactions and follow through to their succe ssful termination are thus avoiding
some of the worst disease which would eventually have developed had they continued their careless eating habits.


 still uncharted and unsurveyed, to prospect
for precious metals and radium. They were both doctors of engineering and science, and had been
sent with very elaborate equipment from one of the large national mining corporations. Owing to
the inaccessibility of the region, they adopted a plan for reaching it quickly. They had flown across
the two ranges of mountains from Alaska and when they arrived at the inside range, i.e., the Rocky
Mountain Range, they found the altitude so high that their plane could not fly over the range, and,
as a result, they were brought down on a little lake outside. The plane then returned but was
unable to reach the outside world because of shortage of fuel. The pilot had to leave it on a
waterway and trudge over the mountains to civilization. The two prospectors undertook to carry
their equipment and provisions over the Rocky Mountain Range into the interior district where they
were to prospect. They found the distance across the plateau to be about one hundred miles and
the elevation ranging up to nine thousand feet. While they had provisions and equipment to stay
two years they found it would take all of this time to carry their provisions and instruments across
this plateau. They accordingly abandoned everything, and rather than remain in the country with
very uncertain facilities and prospects for obtaining food and shelter, made a forced march to the
Liard River with the hope that some expedition might be in that territory. One of the men told me
the following tragic story. While they were crossing the high plateau he nearly went blind with so
violent a pain in his eyes that he feared he would go insane. It was not snow blindness, for they
were equipped with glasses. It was xeropthalmia, due to lack of vitamin A. One day he almost ran
into a mother grizzly bear and her two cubs. Fortunately, they did not attack him but moved off.
He sat down on a stone and wept in despair of ever seeing his family again. As he sat there holding
his throbbing head, he heard a voice and looked up. It was an old Indian who had been tracking
that grizzly bear. He recognized this prospector's plight and while neither could understand the
language of the other, the Indian after making an examination of his eyes, took him by the hand and
led him to a stream that was coursing its way down the mountain. Here as the prospector sat
waiting the Indian built a trap of stones across the stream. He then went upstream and waded
down splashing as he came and thus drove the trout into the trap. He threw the fish out on the
bank and told the prospector to eat the flesh of the head and the tissues back of the eyes, including
the eyes, with the result that in a few hours his pain had largely subsided. In one day his sight was7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 169/250rapidly returning, and in two days his eyes were nearly normal. He told me with profound emotion
and gratitude that that Indian had certainly saved his life.
    Now modern science knows that one of the richest sources of vitamin A in the entire animal
body is that of the tissues back of the eyes including the retina of the eye.
    In Chapter 18 I refer to the work of Wald on studies of vitamin A tissues. He states that
extracts of eye tissue (retina, pigment, epithelium, and choroid) show the characteristic vitamin A
absorption band and that they are potent in curing vitamin A deficient rats. He shows also that the
concentration of vitamin A is constant for different mammals.
    I have been impressed to find that primitive racial stocks in various parts of the world are
familiar with the fact that eyes constitute an invaluable adjunct for nutrition. Even the one time
cannibals of the Fiji Islands, and the hereditary king of the Fiji Islands, told me in detail of the
practices with regard to the use of eyes as an adjunct to diet. The chief, his father, and grandfather
had the privilege of reserving the eyes of captives for their personal use. When among the natives
of the islands north of Australia, I learned to enjoy greatly fish head soup made from certain
selected tissues. After the fish had been cleaned the heads were split and the eyes left in.
    The space of the entire book might be used for discussing the nutritional wisdom of the various
primitive races. It is a pity that so much of their wisdom has been lost through lack of appreciation
by the whites who early made contact with them.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Chapter 16
PRIMITIVE CONTROL OF DENTAL CARIES
THE essential differences in the diets of the primitive races and those of the modernized groups
have been discussed in the preceding chapter. We are concerned now with discovering whether
the use of foods, which are equivalent in body-building and repairing material to those used by the
primitives will, when provided to our affected modernized groups, prevent tooth decay or check it
when it is active.
   There are two approaches to this problem of the control of tooth decay by nutritional means.
One is by the presentation of clinical results and the other by the consideration of the
characteristics of those nutritional programs which have been successful in producing a high
immunity to tooth decay.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 170/250   We may divide the primitive racial stocks into groups, classified according to the physical
environment in which they are living and the manner in which the environment largely controls their
available foods. It is significant that I have as yet found no group that was building and maintaining
good bodies exclusively on plant foods. A number of groups are endeavoring to do so with
marked evidence of failure. The variety of animal foods available has varied widely in some
groups, and been limited among others.
   In the preceding chapter we have seen that the successful dietaries included in addition to a
liberal source of minerals, carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and water-soluble vitamins, a source of
fat-soluble vitamins.
   Vitamin D is not found in plants, but must be sought in an animal food. The dietaries of the
efficient primitive racial stocks may be divided into groups on this basis: in the first place those
obtaining their fatsoluble activators, which include the known fat-soluble vitamins, from efficient
dairy products. This includes the Swiss in the high Alps, the Arabs (using camel's milk), and the
Asiatic races (using milk of sheep and musk ox). In the second place there are those using liberally
the organs of animals, and the eggs of birds, wild and domesticated. These include the Indians of
the far North, the buffalo hunting Plains Indians and the Andean tribes. In the third place there are
those using liberally animal life of the sea. These include Pacific Islanders and coastal tribes
throughout the world. In the fourth place there are those using small animals and insects. These
include the Australian Aborigines in the interior, and the African tribes in the interior.
   Many of the above groups use foods from two or more sources. Each of the groups has
provided an adequate quantity of body-building material from both animal and plant tissues. It
does not matter what the source of minerals and vitamins may be so long as the supply is
adequate. In our modern life, the location of a group will determine the most efficient and most
convenient source for obtaining the essential foods. Clearly, for those near the coast, the sea may
be most convenient, while for those in the interior or in the far North, dairy products or the organs
of animals may be the only available source. It would be fortunate indeed, if our problems were as
simple as this statement might indicate. We have, however, in the first place, the need for a strength
of character and will power such as will make us use the things our bodies require rather than only
the foods we like. Another problem arises from the fact that our modern sedentary lives call for so
little energy that many people will not eat enough even of a good food to provide for both growth
and repair, since hunger appeals are for energy only, the source of heat and power, and not for
body-building minerals and other chemicals. Still another problem confronts us, i.e., the sources of
fatsoluble activators indicated above, namely: dairy products, organs of animals and sea foods,
may vary through a wide range in their content of the fat-soluble activators or vitamins, depending
upon the nutrition available for the animals. Cows fed on third grade hay, too low in carotene


 you do
remember it.
I know why I don’ t get along with horses. I just don’ t get on with horses.
I also remember where that all started. Anyway, let’s see if we’ve
transcended that one with horses or not. “W e have transcended that one
with horses: resist” (T rue). Yes, we did. I was very mean to horses, and they
also were very mean to me, and we just didn’ t get along for a lot of
lifetimes. In fact, that might have even remitted this week, yes. There was a
horse out in the corral and crying, crying, crying. All the other horses had
gone out on the trail, and this horse just cried and cried and was just
carrying on. And I couldn’ t stand it. So I was at the girls’  ranch where I am
the chief of staf f there. They have 50 adolescent girls. I said, “I have to take
care of this.” I couldn’ t stand this horse crying, obviously with emotional
pain and acute separation anxiety. So, I stopped everything to go out and
comfort this horse and began talking to that horse, who realized that
compassion was paying attention to it—the horse got that. It didn’ t heal the
horse, but I think the horse did get a message. But it could be where that
remitted, anyway.
The Muscle-T esting T echniqueNow let’ s talk about kinesiology. We don’ t teach kinesiology. We explain
how to do it, and then it’ s up to you. It’ s like learning how to ride a bicycle.
I can’ t really run bicycle-riding classes. But we do give you references
where you can go. People ask us... we have a sheet that gives references
on kinesiology. Jerry Teplitz, I just happen to be familiar with. He puts out a
whole course called Switched-On Living which demonstrates it in spades.
Also, it’ s not a technique that everyone can do, but you can find people who
are able to do it, and if you have a distinct question—should you kill
yourself or not, or go to a movie—you can ask them. That’ s one of my
favorite quotes: “I couldn’ t decide whether to go to a movie this afternoon
or commit suicide.”
When two people are calibrating a thing or event, why do they get
different answers? This is a relative scale. If you really are serious about it,
first of all, you don’ t have to calibrate anything; I’ve already done it for
you. But if you’re going to be do-it-yourself-ish, you have to do it yourself.
You can use the single-ring technique. If it’ s an important question, we
suggest you find a partner you can work with. For some people it comes
very rapidly. When I first saw it, I “got” how to do it in an instant. It’ s why I
tend to be impatient with people that take weeks to get what I could see in
one instant. So I’m not a great teacher of it. Teplitz has Switched-On
Living. There’ s a book by a nurse that’ s very good. If you call or write our
office, we have references on kinesiology. John Diamond’ s book Your Body
Doesn’ t Lie is about as good a description of the technique as you will find
anywhere, and it has illustrations. Another book [by Diamond] that is also
out is Behavioral Kinesiology. John Diamond, M.D.’ s Your Body Doesn’ t
Lie is a very good reference. And Jerry Teplitz has an elaboration of it with
videos and audios. So that’ s a good way to learn it.
To really define it for yourself, you have to say, “in reference to this scale
of consciousness.” You can use any scale. You can make up your own scale.
But “in reference to this scale of consciousness”: you have to give
conscious reference to it. I used to say, “On a scale of consciousness from 1
to 1,000, where 200 is Integrity and 500 is Love,” or “where 200 is Integrity
and 600 is Enlightenment,” on that scale of consciousness, then: “The
answer to this question is so-and-so.” You understand? It’ s an arbitrary
scale. We could have made it from 1 to 100; we could have made it from 0
to.1, and you could have.001,.0001—you see. Anyway, this turned out to
be logarithmically so, because I asked, “Is this numeric?” It said, “No, it’ slogarithmic.” All right. So it’ s a logarithmic scale. If you want accuracy,
then you have to say: “In reference to this scale, where 200 is Integrity and
600 is Enlightenment, this dog calibrates at so-and-so.” I’ve already told
you in previous lectures that the dog’ s wagging tail calibrates at 500. And
so does a cat’ s purr. And Koko—you know, the gorilla—calibrates over
200. And there’ s a famous gray parrot, out of the University of Arizona, that
can count and tell colors. He knows which is gray and he knows which is
cork. He calibrates over 200. So you’re safer with the gorilla, Koko, than
you are with 78 percent of the people on the planet, who’ll steal your wallet
while they’re doing kinesiology with you.
What Is a Genuine Mystic?
What percentage of genuine mystics are alive in the world today? What is a
genuine mystic? “A  genuine mystic is—they mean by this somebody who
calibrates over 600: resist” (T rue). Okay. What percent are alive in the
world today? We can’ t get percentage, because it’ s less than 0.01 or
something like that. We can get the number, though. “The number of people
on the planet today who calibrate over 600 is over 30” (T rue); “32” (Not
true). It’ s between 30 and 32. Let’ s see; where’ s that other scale we had up
here? These were revised periodically because these changed between 1995
and the year 2001. Let’ s do the rest. “The number of people 700 is more
than six” (T rue); “More than eight” (Not true); “More than seven” (T rue);
“More than eight” (Not true). “The number over 800 is more than two”
(True); “Three” (Not true). “The number over 900 is more than two” (T rue).
“The number over 980 is more than one” (T rue); “T wo.” (Not true). One
over 980.
Surrendering the Ego to God
Now, how does one go about surrendering the ego to God? Can intention
alone change your consciousness? Yes. It’ s intention that motivates the
whole spiritual ef fort. It’ s one’ s intention that sets the context, and then
everything else falls within that context. You see, the mind will
automatically prioritize everything. If your most intense intention is to
reach the conscious experience of the Presence of God, then everything getssubsumed under that. The mind then automatically discards things that
would be extraneous.
I can remember going through medical school. I put my way through
college and medical school. The financial demand of getting through
medical school and the intellectual demand of endless hours of study took
priority over everything. There was no time to read novels; there was no
time to go to movies. Every dollar had to count, so that prioritized
everything. I was a cabdriver, as my wife well knows, and every second
counted. Every second was money. When the light turned green and the
oncoming traf fic—if they didn’ t instantly jump it, I had made my left
already. The intention, then, is very determinative.
How Do You Surrender the Ego to God?
The books I’m writing have to do with understanding the mechanisms of
the ego. Before, we talked about positionality. Then we talked about how
the ego arose as survival mechanism in the animal world. It then became
elaborated by the intellect. The intellect now becomes the instrument of the
animal instinct. It’ s still up to the same thing; it’ s just more sophisticated.
To be top dog now means the brand of car you drive and its year, or one’ s
position or one’ s title or one’ s income, or the store you bought your clothes,
or the style. So the intellect has merely become the servant of the animal
and expresses itself in more sophisticated ways. It’ s still up to being the
king of the hill and being the alpha male or the alpha female, et cetera. If
you see that the ego arose, it’ s not dif ferent than the animal, and its
motivations are not dif ferent than the animal, then you can stop feeling guilt
about it and stop making it wrong.
There are many spiritual teachings that tend to make the ego wrong and
label all its on-going-ness as sin. Sin is just the persistence of the animal to
give in

	of	evil,	absolutely.	But	I	don’t	understand	where
acknowledging	the	cause	involves	denying	the	effect.

As	a	student	of
A	Course	in	Miracles,
	I	certainly	understand	that	in	Reality,
all	that	exists	is	love.	But	the	planet	we	live	on	is
not
	ultimate	reality;	it	is	a
mass	illusion,	as	powerful	in	its	effects	as	is	the	truth.	And	here,	in	this
collective	illusion,	what-is-not	love	still	holds	sway.	The	ego,	according	to
A

	is	suspicious	at	best	and	vicious	at	worst.

from	the	pain	of	the	world;	a	serious	grown-up	is	someone	who	sees	the	point
of	our	lives	as	committing	ourselves	to	healing	it.
That,	in	a	way,	is	what	our	generation	had	to	learn.	In	a	part	of	the	world
where	we	had	it	so	easy,	perhaps	we	subconsciously	manifest	our	own	private
hells	to	make	sure	we	would	finally	wake	up	to	the	hell	of	so	many	people

privacy	of	our	own	hearts,	crying	out	with	horror,
“Oh	my	God,	what	have	we

Then,	in	a	moment	of	genuine	sorrow	for	ways	we	have	behaved	so
irresponsibly,	we	will	begin	to	atone	as	a	nation,	and	as	a	civilization,	in	the
way	that	so	many	of	us	have	atoned	as	individuals.	We	will	recognize	that	we

 reasoned that if skin tuberculosis (TB) responded
positively to diet, why would not other forms of TB do so? What about the killer disease lung
tuberculosis, and kidney-, bone-, encephalitic and other forms of the disease? He started to treat
such patients, too, with his diet, among them the wife of Dr. Albert Schweitzer, and found that
they also recovered.  More importantly still, many of those patients also had other problems along
with their TB: high or low blood pressure; allergies, asthma, kidney disease and more.  These
diseases also disappeared with the ‘migraine’ diet!
At this point it became very clear to Gerson that he was no longer healing a disease with
dietary changes: the patients’ metabolism and immune system were responding, which meant that
he was healing the whole body, and this opened the door to curing all ‘incurable’ chronic diseases.
From that moment onwards his path led him in a totally different direction from that of orthodox
medicine. His patients were now healed, not drugged.
The first big step toward healing cancer came in 1928, when a lady called him to her bedside.
In Dr. Gerson’s own words, “I asked her what was wrong, but on the phone she didn’t want to
tell me.” When he arrived at her home, the patient told him that she had been operated for cancer
of the bile duct; now she was jaundiced, ran a high fever and needed help. Dr. Gerson told her
that he didn’t know how to treat cancer, but she insisted, quoting his success with TB cases. Then
she asked him to look at a big book that was lying on her table, open at the chapter called “The
Healing of Cancer.” In this book on folk medicine, Dr. Gerson recalls, “there was something
about Hippocrates who lived 550 years [sic] before Christ. …. He had the idea that the patient has
to be detoxified with a special soup and with some enemas.”
He told the patient once again that he was unable to treat her, but at her insistence he agreed
to try, and wrote down a treatment plan for her—essentially the same as his treatment for TB. As
he records it, “I tried—and about six months later the patient was cured! She was up and about
in the best condition. She sent me other cancer cases. One had metastasized glands around the
stomach—also cured! The third case was also cured!
Later in Vienna he tried again, treating six cases, but all six failed. He was shocked and
discouraged, but “…once it was in my head and my hands and my heart, I could no longer
separate myself from that problem.” 1
Some years later Gerson settled in the U.S. In order to obtain his license to practice, he first
had to pass a medical exam; then he was unable to find a hospital where he could treat patients.
And yet, he said, “I couldn’t get the first three cases out of my mind. I kept thinking, it must be
possible. It would be a crime not to do it.”
He studied all the medical literature and research material he could find and discovered Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007.  All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.comthat there was a difference between patients suffering from general chronic diseases and those
suffering from cancer. Later he described this difference by specifying that “the chronic disease
patient has a weak, damaged liver; the cancer patient has a toxic liver.”  He also found that the
cancer patient could not completely digest and assimilate fats and oils, whose undigested residues
were picked up by the tumor tissue, which grew and thrived on them. After years of trial and
error, amassing direct experience at the sickbed, he arrived at developing a remarkably effective
treatment that worked even for terminally ill patients.
Gerson’s startlingly original ideas and new methods did not fit into the allopathic medical
system. He wrote a number of articles on his work and on patient outcomes and submitted them
to several medical journals; all were refused with various excuses. Subsequently, patients who
inquired about Gerson at the American Medical Association (AMA) were told that his method
was ‘secret,’ as ‘he refused to publish.’
The Board of Censors of the New York Medical Association wrote to Dr. Gerson five times,
asking him to submit records proving his work. Five times he patiently assembled more of his
records and on occasion even presented some of his recovered patients. His only request was that
the Board publish their findings. They never did.
Wanting to ensure the continuation of his work, Dr. Gerson was anxious to train other doctors
and/or assistants in the practice of his Therapy. On several occasions young medical doctors,
not yet established in their practice, would approach Gerson and ask to be accepted as assistants
to learn the treatment. Always ready to pass on his experience to a keen young colleague, he
accepted such offers.
The ‘assistanceship’ never lasted more than 4-5 days. After that time, the young doctor would,
in embarrassment, explain to Dr. Gerson that he had received serious threats, should he continue
to work with him: he would be banned from hospital associations, no other doctors would send
him patients and he would be unable to practice. Having a great deal of debt on his shoulders
from his medical schooling, he could not afford to be forced into such a situation and, sadly, had
to give up working with Dr. Gerson. (Similar situations occur these days, too, when a not yet
sufficiently established doctor wishes to visit the Mexican Gerson clinic to study the Therapy,
and his superiors explain to him that such a move would jeopardize his career development. This
explains why there are so few doctors trained in the Gerson protocol.)
Undeterred by all the obstacles he had to contend with, Dr. Gerson carried on with his work,
perfecting his treatment as he went along. Since despite all his efforts he was prevented from
publishing his work in medical journals, he eventually gathered his material and wrote it up in his
last book, which is also his lasting medical testament.
A few years ago we received some amazing information from a well-known health writer
and publicist in New York. He was collecting material for his work and wanted to publish Dr. Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007.  All rights reserved.

Senator Claude Pepper. The researcher traveled to Washington D.C. to look for the report of
the testimony in the Congressional Record, which, as an official U.S.Government document, is
not supposed to be altered or tampered with. He knew that the testimony took up several pages,
including Dr. Gerson’s answers to a number of questions about his work, and his presentation of
five of his recovered patients, who had originally been sent home to die of terminal cancer. The
researcher inspected the Congressional Record and found only an empty space under the date
where the testimony should have appeared. Against all the rules it had been removed without
explanation.
P.S. Orthodox ‘scientific’ medicine routinely rejects studies based on a small number of
subjects (less than 250) irrespective of their merits. Here is a relevant quote, not unconnected
with Dr. Gerson’s story:
“The small number of subjects used exposed the study to the ridicule that medical science
has been using for over hundred years to flay experiments that do not fit its bias. ‘What were the
controls?’ ‘Where are the statistics?’ ‘How do you know the patients didn’t get better because
of something else?’ ‘Statistically the mathematics don’t hold up.’ ‘Did they really control all the
variables?’ ‘How do you know that drugs aren’t just as good?’ ‘Pacemakers work just as well.’
‘What we have already is good enough if used right.’2

The Therapy Moves On
Newcomers to the Gerson way of healing sometimes express the view that a therapy developed
some sixty years ago and left unchanged ever since must surely be obsolete—after all,
medicine has made huge progress since Dr. Gerson’s death in 1959. This criticism is wrong on all
counts. For one thing, human physiology and the nature of chronic disease have not changed, and
therefore the Gerson approach to


is important to understand God and the word “consciousness.” As what we
have experienced in life becomes a part of our memory patterns, so it is withall life, including the tiniest cells within the body. All life has memory and
emotions, right down to the smallest created substances and elements. This
has been proven over and over again with plants and animals, as well as with
cells.
Men and women must awaken out of this “sleep state,” and ascend in
their awareness toward God. This will broaden their perspectives and their
understanding of how simple and how beautiful health and life really is. It is
time to fill yourself (your consciousness) with love, energy, health and
vitality, and to rise above the lower levels of disease.
“Detoxification and Regeneration” is the only answer to our current
dilemma. The consciousness of treatment has taken us down a devastating
road. Cleaning your body out of all these toxins and strengthening your cells
is logical, and proven to overcome the many conditions mentioned above.
It’s your body. Think about it. Trust in yourself and God (nature). Learn
all you can about true health and vitality through nature and the tools (food
and herbs) that nature supplies for your health and vitality.
Wake up! It’s almost too late
now.

MODULE 4.5
 Chemical Toxicity:
Environmental, Hygiene, Household and Drug

If you know anyone with chemical or environmental toxicity, you know
firsthand the amount of suffering involved. I helped an individual who was
so chemically toxic that the very smell of gasoline fumes made her faint. We
have destroyed our home (Earth) with chemicals, and now it’s too late. We
can only stand by while the Earth detoxifies itself through many atmospheric
and land changes. This is one of the biggest disgraces in human history.
Similarly, our physical bodies are ravaged with disease, as cancer is now
climbing to one in every two males and one in every three females. That
means that half the population has cancer and most of these will probably die
from it. At the same time, the other half of the population is developing it.
The Natural Resources Defense Council relates that over 85,000 synthetic
chemicals are in commercial use today, many now known to cause cancer, as
well as damage to the brain, nervous system and reproductive systems. It is
estimated that human technology releases over 6,000,000,000 pounds of
chemicals into the environment every year. Whales and porpoises are
beaching themselves in ever greater numbers. Fish are dying everywhere, and
animals in the wild are developing cancer and birth deformities as never seen
before. What is it going to take for humans to awaken to this? Every single
individual, I don’t care how wealthy or intellectual, is ingesting over 120
pounds of chemicals each year, including over ten different pesticides each
day. Our immune systems cannot handle this level of insult to the body.

 It also could be an electromagnetic radiation,
because electricity is seen in the readings as the manifestation of the Divine
—not God, but the manifestation  of God. We each must remember that we
are all electrical organisms, since each body is composed of atoms and all
atoms are electrical units.
Being an electri cal being, we are an energy being and we probably will
go further in understanding ourselves and others as we see our emotionsand our attitudes  affecting our bodies at an energy level, derivin g the results
often from past-life experiences.
One of Cayce’ s readings deals with cause and correction of a problem,
not from the standard medical viewpoint, but from the perspective which
Cayce used to see the human as an eternal being, creative in nature and one
with the Creative Forces, yet in essence subject to building health or disease
in the physical body, depending  on what that one has done with one’s mind
and choices.
Cayce in this following reading was talking about the conflict between
spirit and flesh as causing illness, and he was referring to two whom Jesus
had healed:
What has ever been the builder, body, mind and spirit? As given, the
expressions are in the physical, the motivative force is the spirit, the
mind is the builder. What was builded? Those bodies had dwelt as
individuals do (as may be illustrated in habit) with the
interconsciousness of the necessity of the expression of something
within self which brought dis-e ase, the natural result of what? An at-
variance to the divine law! Hence it may truly be said that to be at-
variance may bring sickness, dis-ease, disruption, distress in a physical
body. It is true then that the mind  may heal entirely by the spoken word,
by the laying on of hands, dependent upon the consciousness  of the
motivative forces in the individual body. Yet those requiring material
expression to create a balance may necessitate drug, knife, water, heat,
electricity, or any of those forces that are yet what? What is the spirit?
The manifestation of God! The Creative  Force working in, with and
upon what? The awareness, the interconsciousness of the body, the
mind, the spirit, as separated in individuals! (262-83)
Stresses, strains, and tensions become part of everyone’ s experience and
often create the disruptions and distresses in the physical body  that Cayce
talked about. They always play a role in the pH balance, but we can look at
them from another viewpoint— a perspective that takes us out of the body.
When we look at the illness called cancer, we may be observing a condition
that comes almo st entirely from troubles that have not been handled in amanner that is constructive. We may be seeing the destructive side of
response to stress in one’ s life.
Workers in cancer support groups have known for years that the more
loving and caring that such a group provides—whether they are family,
friends, or an established group— the cancer patient lives out his or her life,
instead of gradually dying through the remaining days.
A recent medical study showed how a large group of cance r patients
responded with or without a support group. David Spiegel of Stanford
University reported to the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric
Association how a group of women with breast cancer who received group
therapy and lessons in self-hyp nosis lived an average of almo st twice as
long as a similar group who were given only traditional medica l treatment.
The study involved eighty-six women who had metastatic spread of the
cancer. The support group women lived an average of 36.6 months
compared to 18.9 months for those not taking part in a support group.
In the Edgar Cayce readings, in the Christian Bible, and in practically all
of the world’ s major religions, survival and healing are closely related to the
divine plan and to the love that is tendered to those in need. If the
ministrations and caring and the love and tenderness manifested in a
support group do not fully heal the patient from the illness—as has
happened in the scriptures and in daily life in this and other countries—then
the least such caring is likely  to do is to make the indiv idual more
comfortable, more hopeful with the knowledge that someone truly loves
him or her, all of which brings about an extension of life.
Love is a powerful aid in the healing process.
When one goes through the process which we call healing, perhaps the
mind is experien cing rejuvenation as the body is healed. It could also be a
scar on the soul that is under going the process which we designate as
healing—a process we can call an adventure in consciousness.
Whether it’s one or the other, an awakening to the soul’ s direction and
destiny is almost always involv ed. Cayce had much to say about healing.
The following extract is a good example and may give us insight indeed as
to why support groups are valuable:
For it is true that the body mentally, the body physically, should be
and is capable of resuscitating and revitalizing itself, if it is raised inspiritual direction for the activities of disturbing conditions in the body.
Hence mind over matter is not to be lightly spoken of, nor is there
any disparaging remark to be made as to the body-physical being
revivified, resuscitated, spiritualized such that there is not [any]
reaction that may not be revivified. (1 152-5)
Sow the seeds of kindness, helpfulness, long-suf fering, gentleness,
patience, brother ly love; and leave the increase to the Father, who alone
can give same either in the spirit, the mind or the body.
Being patient even as He. (1472-3)
INCOORDINA TION IN HEAL TH AND DISEASE
Being patient may, in and of itself, prevent a person from experiencing a
degree of incoor dination in his or her body. To grasp this concept, we need
to explore the ways in which someone’ s body may be incoordinated.
One year I went to Virginia Beach and decided to do some research on
the topic of incoordination. I asked my son Bob, who was volunteering in
the A.R. E. Library at that time, to research the index to the readings and
give me a list of those readings where incoordination of the body was
identified.
The list I got back was fifteen pages long with three columns of reading
numbers on each page! I was discouraged about doing exhaust ive research
on the subject. I was not very patient, and I suppose part of me was at least
a bit incoordinated as a result of my frustration.
I did discover, however, that there are many ways in which the body
becomes incoordinated, and there is a significant relationship among stress,
incoordination, and body malfunctions. I also found that Cayce, in his
readings, identified this quality so consistently that we need to understand
what we think of as a basic lack of balance in the functioning of the human
body, or what Cayce calls “incoordination.”
In the terminology of medical neurology, coordination is described as the
combination of nervous impulses in motor centers to insure cooperation of
the appropriate muscles in a reaction. The word itself comes from the Latin
cum, meaning “together with” and ordinar e, meaning “to regulate.” In
relation to the body and its function, this definition seems not onlyadequate, but almost poetic: “The harmonious activity and proper sequence
of those parts that cooperate in the performance of any function.”36
Cayce’ s reading s would seem to agree both in essence and in fact with
such a definition of coordination. The lack of coordination would mean
illness in the human being, much as its presence means balance and health.
In the following reading, one of the symptoms is nausea. This certainly is a
reflection of the lack of harmonious activity of the stomach and the other
related digestive organs, which usually function in harmony and
cooperation to produce a feeling of ease and well-being rather than the
tendency to regur gitate:
Occasionally—once a week or oftener—the Jerusalem artichoke
should be a part of the diet. This will tend to correct those inclinations
for the incoordin ation between the activities of the pancreas as related
to the kidneys and bladder. These as we find, even in this form, will
make for better corrections...
(Q) What causes  frequent periods of nausea and what can be done to
overcome this condition?
(A) This, as we have indicat ed, arises from the incoordination
between the upper and lower hepatic circulation, owing to the
disturbance in the pancreas with the kidneys. For, as will be indicated
and found by the body, when such occurs there is the more frequent
activity of the kidneys and the bladder; and becomes rather as a nervous
reaction.
Hence the precautions in the directions as to diet, to change the
activities of the circulatory forces in relation to these, will bring better
conditions and a removal of the causes of these conditions. (1523-7)
Perhaps the greatest difficulty for the physician is to understand  how we
might work with the lack of coordination between the pancr eas and the
kidneys, for instance, or between the upper and the lower hepatic
circulation. In the above reading and others, a concept of relationship
emer ges which states that there is a


 love and compassion.
A highly recommended exercise is as follows. Whenever you meet someone or think of someone smile and silently say: "God bless
you" while feeling a wave of love or compassion radiating from your heart centre. Another exercise is to think of someone and extend
your arms with palms forward in the so-called Madonna gesture. Again, smile and feel the love or compassion in your heart. During
the day try to remember this feeling of love in your heart and centre on it.
Feeling Joy
Joy is the twin of love in helping us to live a healthy and fulﬁlled life. As with love, it is not easy to feel joyful as a real body sensation,
especially if we do not have anything special to be joyful about. As with love and compassion, joy may be felt in the heart centre as a
sensation of exuberance. However, a quieter form of joy close to bliss can be felt at the forehead centre. This is related to the
pituitary gland behind the middle of the forehead. Concentrating on it during deep meditation can generate a feeling of bliss. It can
also be felt as a quiet kind of blissful joy when focusing on the pituitary gland or forehead centre during a breathing exercise. For
working with this and the other centres mentioned in the following see The Chakra System  in the article on Bio-energies.
As the breath does not ﬂow into the brain, you imagine that the inhaled air is combined with a life-force energy, also called prana or
chi, which you can separate from the air molecules and lead to any place in your body where you want to concentrate it. You do this
with your will; just imagine it being so, the prana ﬂowing upwards from the nose into the pituitary gland behind the forehead. If you
can visualise colours, you may see the forehead centre being ﬁlled with an indigo-coloured prana.
As with the breathing into the heart, ﬁrst try to feel a light pressure partly due to the focus of your attention and partly to the
accumulating prana. Again try to feel warmth or tingling during the slow and gentle exhalation. To focus on the correct point it helps
greatly if you close your eyes and turn them inward and upward as if looking into the brain at a 45-degree angle. When you can easily
do this, you may even be able to just imagine looking upwards and inwards and feel a light pressure in the pituitary area while you
have your eyes open and are engaged in other activities.
When you are able to feel the pressure or warmth, start smiling inwardly and direct this smile to the pituitary gland. As you keep
smiling, you may gradually feel a sensation of joy and happiness spreading from your head into your body. If you have already
learned to feel a love sensation in your heart centre, combine this love feeling with the joy spreading from your head into a uniﬁed
feeling of elation. The natural awake ning of the forehead centre is stimulated by using the'mind's eye' as in creative visualisation and
imaginative and intuitive thinking.
Feeling Connected and Peaceful
We can learn to overcome the stresses of daily life and live instead in a condition of profound inner peace by frequently focusing our
attention at the top of our head. This will be invaluable with all stress-rel ated diseases and conditions and also helps to energise the
body in a pleasant way.
Relax, close your eyes and imagine a stream of white light entering the top of your head. Try to feel as well as see it. However,
feeling it is more important than only seeing it. Again, it may help at ﬁrst to focus on feeling a light pressure and warmth at the top of
the head, possibly aided by leading the breath prana to this point. As with previous feeling exercises exhale very slowly and gently.
Imagine feeling more and more peaceful, a deep peace beginning to ﬁll and surround your body and mind. In addition, watch for a
feeling of being connected to All That Is, to the Universe, to God, however you want to call it. If you can feel or imagine feeling
something like this, try to intensify the feeling.
When you are able to feel the peace  or connectedness during the exercise, you may start focusing part of your attention on the top of
your head and feel at peace during your daily activities. Try also to keep part of your attention on the top of your head while you try to
feel the joy behind the forehead and the love at the heart centre. Alternatively, focus in sequence on the top of the head, the forehead10/30/24, 4:55 PM Health-Science-Spirit - The Love Cure
https://health-science-spirit.com/Diseases/Cancer/The-Love-Cure.html 2/4and the heart. Eventually, you may even try to focus on all three simultaneously and feel peaceful, quietly joyful and loving at the
same time.
For another recommended exercise  have a look at the picture of the 'Magic Presence'in the Spirituality ﬁle. You may regard this as
your Personal God Presence, also called I Am Presence, Oversoul or Monad. By frequently focusing on this Presence, your
connection to it gradually becomes stronger which then leads to rapid spiritual development. You cultivate this connection by
generating a feeling of love or joy in your heart and then sending it through the top of your head to your imaginary God presence.
Immediately you feel an even stronger energy of love, peace and protec tion entering your crown centre from above and beginning to
ﬁll your head and your body. Do this  as often as you can.
The Throat Centre
The throat chakra is the centre for our creative expression. It also regulates the functions of the thyroid and parathyroid glands. As
with the other centres, you can activate or balance it with breathing exercises that let you feel warmth and other expressions of
energy in the throat. However, The proper development of this centre, as with all the other centres, depends on properly using it in
daily life. This involves mainly creat ive use of sounds such as speaking the truth and giving kind or helpful advice. The opposite
activities, such as gossipping, uninvited criticism and also not speaking out due to resentment, greatly harm this centre.
Singing is very beneﬁcial for this centre, also the chanting of mantras and especially the OM or AUM sound. Such chanting or
intonation is best done in a way that you can feel the sound vibrations in parts of your head such as the lips, cheeks or ears or
between your upper and lower teeth.
The Solar Plexus
The abdominal area is a storage and dumping ground for resentments and other unreleased and unprocessed emotions. Negative
feelings, such as anger or fear commonly arise from here as a reaction to past events. This may make us feel insecure and
vulnerable, a feeling that the outsid e world is hostile or dangerous and we have to ﬁght for what we want or to protect ourselves.
Together with stress and other facto rs, this can lead to diseases of the digestive system and also makes healing of such diseases
more difﬁcult. This is especially a problem with cancer of these organs.
The solar plexus is a nerve centre behind the stomach and the seat of another important feeling centre. Focusing on the solar plexus
centre helps to make us feel more radiant and powerful and, with this, safe and protected, we also 'have the guts' to do what we need
to do. To activate this centre breathe into it until you feel at ﬁrst the pressure and then the warmth spreading all through your
abdomen. Intensify the sensation of pleasant, relaxing warmth that makes you feel safe and protected.
Accumulating Breath Energy
To breathe into the abdomen or any other area where you cannot feel the breath directly, imagine that the inhaled breath consists of
two parts, the physical air molecules as well as a breath energy or prana. During inhalation the lungs automatically separate the
breath energy from the air molecule s. You only exhale the 'empty' air while the prana ﬂows to where you lead it with your conscious
attention.
To energise the abdomen, you imagine and try to feel the energy moving directly into the abdomen during inhalation. During
exhalation you imagine that you press the energy down so that it becomes compressed at the bottom of the abdomen or any other
organ that you want to energise. With each successive breath more compressed energy accumulates until the target area feels
sufﬁciently energised. You may feel this as warmth, tingling, pressure or any other sensation.
If you can visualise colours, you may try to see the energy in a colour selected according to the rules of colour therapy. To feel more
energetic, for instance, you may imagine a golden yellow and for pain relief or sedation blue. Alternatively, you may visualise the
colour that is typically associated with the main energy vortex of area in question. For the top of the head this is violet or purple, for
the forehead indigo, the throat centre blue, the heart green, the solar plexus golden yellow, the sacral centre orange and the base of
the spine red.
Sexual Energy
The sacral energy centre is located between the navel and the pubic bone. It is weak or distorted with all diseases of the lower
abdomen or of the pelvic organs, mainly involved with reproductive functions and elimination. You will be able to heal diseases of
these organs much better when activating and balancing this centre by sending it energy and love. As for the solar plexus, you may
