 your
thoughts and your physical body in different ways. Anger creates stress and
constricts the blood and lymphatic flow within the body. It shuts down the
liver and pancreas, affecting digestion. It overstresses the adrenal glands
causing excessive hormone and neurotransmitter release. All this causes
acidosis. Love, on the other hand, creates the opposite. It increases the blood
and lymph flow. It improves digestion and kidney elimination. And it
alkalizes your body. Anger obstructs and restricts, and love opens and
expands. You could also say that anger causes “dis-ease” and love heals.
From a spiritual viewpoint each of our emotions is integral to creation,
for the whole is merely the sum of its parts. They will each have their own
lessons to teach you. You can judge whether one is good or bad for you atany particular time and respond accordingly, or you can merely observe the
flow of these emotions and their opposites, not allowing them to affect you in
any way, unless you want them to. You must decide what you want in your
life and in your body.
I will let you in on a little secret. When you begin to increase the energy
of your physical body through detoxification, you will start detoxifying in
all
your bodies. Thoughts and emotions stick like glue to your cells and create
subtle obstructions that you can carry for a lifetime (some say for many
lifetimes). So, if you start crying or yelling during your detoxification
process, this is the reason. Let it all come out. Be observant of your thoughts
and feelings, and try not to hold on to anything. Let these obstructions go. In
this way, your river of energy and love can dominate inside you once again.
This is truly the road to vitality and spirituality.
MODULE 6.3
How Do We Get the Body to Detoxify?

Ours is an alkaline species. Acid-forming foods cause inflammation and
congestion in the body, creating an anionic situation. This reaction causes
nutrients, blood cells, etc., to start sticking together, and encourages the
formation of lipids and oxalate stones of all types. Thus, nutrients become
unavailable to cells, which leads to cellular starvation.
Because acidosis is inflammatory and destructive to cells, the body will
use steroids, electrolysis, water, lipids (cholesterol), and other things to fight
this. This causes dehydration both extracellularly and intracellularly.
The first thing to do is to change the intake from acid-forming foods to
alkaline-forming foods. Consumption of alkaline-forming foods, which are
mainly fruits and vegetables, will begin the detoxification and rehydration
process. If you wish to speed up the cleansing process, these fruits and
vegetables must all be raw, i.e., uncooked and unprocessed. If you wish to
dig deeper into tissue and speed the process up even further, you can switch
to all raw, fresh fruits only. Fruits have the highest amounts of antioxidants
and astringent properties of all foods. Their sugars are slow burning but
powerful, and will enhance the vitality of cells faster than any other food, and
with much less digestive effort. They also have the highest electricalproperties of any food. The energies in raw fruits are so
high that they speed
up neuron transport and endocrine function.
TAKE IT EASY

Because raw fruits are so powerful in detoxifying and restoring vitality it is
important to note here that one can detoxify too fast. This can lead to extreme
cleansing symptoms. I have witnessed many severe reactions such as:
multiple abscesses popping out in the mouth, tumor-like swellings all over the
body, the skin actually opening and oozing pus, and even spitting out tumors.
This is only because the individual jumped immediately from a typical diet of
dairy foods, flesh foods and toxic chemicals to a highly pure and cleansing
one of fresh, raw fruits. A fruit diet will stir up the toxins and mucus in the
body in an aggressive manner, leaving you with some very noticeable side
effects. However, if you consume an all-raw food diet of both fruits and
vegetables for a few weeks first, this will allow for a much slower and
generally easier cleansing process.
One of the deepest ways to detoxify yourself is through water fasting. I
do not, however, recommend water fasting in chronic and especially
degenerative cases where the patient has little energy in the first place.
The process of detoxification is not always fun. Most of the more
difficult cases are from cancer, HIV, or spinal cord injuries where the
individual has become very toxic. Remember, the body will start eliminating
anything that should not be in it, even to the point of eliminating weak tissue
(like fingernails), and weak muscle tissue. This sounds more gruesome than it
is, but you should know what the body will do to clean itself out. The body
can tear itself down to a frightening level to rid itself of its weaknesses and
toxins. However, rest assured that the body
will
 rebuild itself beautifully. If
your house burned partially down, you would have to remove the old burned
material before you could properly rebuild it.
Your body has to do the same. Most doctors run in fear of this, even
though it’s a normal process of nature. Nature always eliminates the weak
and replaces it with the strong. The same thing can be said of the cells.
If you have toxic chemicals stored in your body you may experience
heart palpitations as you cleanse. This is rare, but it can happen. Remember
that we have toxins stored deep within us from as far back as when we werein our mother’s womb. Don’t expect to clean this out overnight. However, I
have seen lymphomas disappear in forty-five days, stomach cancer gone in
fifty-nine days, and diabetes eliminated in sixty days.
The body will also promote its own diaphoresis (process of perspiration)
by increasing its systemic temperature to dilate, sweat and kill parasites. The
good thing is that this process does not last long, and the cleaner you get
internally, the less cleansing is needed. You may only need to go through
one, two or three cycles of this to overcome most disease symptoms.
FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

Life is a constant process of consuming and eliminating. You will be
detoxifying for the rest of your life at one level or another; especially if you
eat fresh fruits and vegetables on a regular basis. Your body will keep
digging deeper and deeper within itself, cleansing and restoring proper
functions. Most of this processing then becomes very subtle. You won’t
know it is even going on, except for occasional symptoms of mucus
discharge, cold-type symptoms, or aches and pains. The body is amazingly
designed and highly intelligent. If you learned all that is known about
chemistry, biochemistry and physics, you still would not understand much
about the human body and how it works. Always ask the question: “What is
my body doing this for?” There is always a reason why your body does what
it does in any situation. We only have to learn
the language of the body to
understand what it is doing and why. (See
Chapter 5
,
Module 5.11
,
Body
Language).
 Observation and common sense almost always supersede science.
Although science started out by observation and common sense, it has
become very biased, yielding to industry and high finances.
To discover the real benefits of a natural healing program or healing
modality ask yourself: “What can it do for me in fixing the cause of my
problem? Can it help me gain vitality, health, and longevity? Most
importantly, does it aid in my spiritual unfolding or awakening? “ Vibrant
health, in which body, emotions, mind and soul are brought into harmony, is
true spirituality.
Remember, true Naturopathy is the study of nature and how nature
sustains its own health. When human beings finally learn the basic truths of
nature, they too will be able to restore health. Detoxification is the golden key
that unlocks the magic door of nature and allows regeneration and vitality totake place. Always keep it simple.
Since detoxification is synonymous with alkalization, the next section
will examine this process in relationship to the foods we eat.
MODULE 6.4
Alkaline-Forming and Acid-Forming Foods and Detoxification

It is important to know a little about the foods you eat. As stated earlier, one
of the most important factors about food is how it affects the pH of the body.
Foods can be divided into two basic categories: foods that have an acid
reaction in your body and foods that have an alkaline reaction. This is not
necessarily related to the pH of the food itself.
Alkalinity is the great detoxifier of the body, so foods that are alkaline-
forming will detoxify the body. The more alkaline-forming they are, the
greater and deeper you will detoxify. Fruits, in general, are an example of
high alkaline-forming foods. Alkaline constituents are also used to feed the
body. They are truly the regenerators.
Acid-forming foods slow, inhibit or stop the detoxification process. They
are inflammatory and mucus-forming to your body, ultimately causing tissue
failure. Acids can become free radicals, causing tissue damage unless linked
to an antioxidant (which is alkaline) and removed.
Acids are necessary, however,


ly,  I take  my mind  off of It entirely!
Therefore,  'Mighty  I AM  Presence,'  You  take  command  of
this body  now;  and  bring  it into  Your  Perfect  Symmetry";
then  be at Peace  and  rest  about  it. Every  time  the human
has an opinion,  say:  "Hold  on! You  are to have  no opinion"!
and you will  find  the Presence  will  do This  Perfectly!
I want  to say:  you  are Free  from  this  hour!  Don't  longer
accept  anything  else,  any  suggestion  of anything  else!  If
you will  just feel This,  and  if you  believe  I speak  the Truth,
you will  know,  you  will  feel,  your  Freedom  definitely  in
your  feeling.  Therefore,  you  will  feel  a strength  sustained 100 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES
within  you,  which  will  give  you  Great  Joy from  this  hour!
No matter  what  the outer  appearance  is, do not accept
again  for a single  instant,  any  lack  of strength,  courage  or
power;  because  your  Presence  which  beats  your  Heart  is
your  Power,  Strength,  Energy,  Courage  and  Everything
Else which  is required,  to give  you  everything.
Remember  what  We  have  said:  you  shall  all sing  again
with  a Greater  Power,  than  you  have  ever  known!  Accept
That  Charge,  if you  will,  and  let Its Full  Power  of Action
go on within  you.  Don't  allow  the appearance  world  to have
any affect  upon  you  again;  but  just  in Great  Joy  say:
" 'Mighty  I AM  Presence'  I accept  the  Fulness  of Your
Power!  I say  to all these  appearances  within  or without
my Being:  4You  have  no power'!  Therefore,  I stand  forth
Free  right  now;  forever  held  in the Embrace  of the Light
of my 'Mighty  I AM  Presence'  always  Free  and  Victorious."
So shall  It be!
Beloved  Ones,  We see the Expansion  of your  Light!  We
see your  Victory!  Don't  ever  for one  instant,  yield  to any
appearance  longer.  Say  to every  appearance  in the  outer
world:"  'You  have  no power'!  'Mighty  I AM  Presence'  You
are the only  Presence,  Power  and  Intelligence  acting  here.
Take  command  and  hold  Your  Dominion  and  produce
Your  Perfection."
I could  go on, and  on, and  on, but after  all, it is not so
much  a matter  of what  We  say,  but what  you  feel  which
counts!  Won't  you  feel tonight,  your  Absolute  Freedom  in
every  way;  in your  Perfect  Health;  in your  Perfect  Accept-DISCOURSE  VIII 101
ance  of your  Mighty  Directing  Intelligence ? It is there  for

Saint  Germain,  Nada  and  Myself  thank  you  all for your
sincere  work;  and  We trust  you  will  realize,  it is only  just
the beginning  of what  can unfold  from  within.  Go on, and
on, in your  Great  Desire  for Freedom  and  Victory;  but re-
fuse absolutely  to listen  to suggestions  of the outer  world;
to prophecies  or anything  of that  kind.  The  world  is full of
human  opinions  which  are of no importance;  but  your  at-
tention  to the Presence  from  which  ALL  Perfection  comes,
is of Very  Great  Importance!  Stand  firm  within  It and  have
Its Blessings.
Beloved  Ones,  what  a Very  Wonderful  Thing  it is to give
Us your  attention.  Do you  know,  while  you  are sitting  here,
you are no more  a part  of the outer  world  of mankind,  than
if you  had  never  lived  in it? You  are living  this  two  hours
in the World  of the Ascended  Masters.  Can  you  not feel It?
Can you  not retain  It? You  can,  even  though  you  move
about  in your  daily  activities  in the outer  world,  still  can
you retain  the feeling  of these  two  hours  or more.
So long,  as the human  conditions  exist  in the  physical
world  as certain  limitations,  from  which  only  the Ascension
can free  you,  We  must  wait!  Oh,  how  many  times,  We
would  love  to gather  those  Certain  Individuals  together
and give  This  Assistance.  It can only  be done  occasionally.
Will  each  one  of you  hold  the  Memory  of This  Sacred
within  your  Hearts  always,  for It is greatly  to be cherished ?
Do not be disturbed  by the appearance  world.  Human 102 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
Beings  come  and  go, but the Law  goes  on forever;  and  We
thank  you  for your  noble  efforts  very  much.  Beloved  Ones,
do you not see how  in every  single  effort  to bring  Enlighten-
ment  to another,  you  retain  a Great  Blessing  within  your-
selves?  How  can  human  Beings  go on, when  they  have
touched  the Light  of their  Presence,  as some  in your  beloved
city are doing,  thinking  they  are deceiving  others ? How
can they  practice  deception  and  go on thinking  it is not
known ? How  can Students  of the "I AM"  do this thing,  yet
there  are those  in your  city  who  think  they  are deceiving
others.
Tonight,  I want  to prompt  you  on those  things,  so you no
longer  accept  them.  Remember,  human  appearances  are
but the shifting  sands  of the desert.  They  have  no power,
but to confuse  the one  who  accepts  human  reports!  Don't
do it, Dear  Ones!  Anything  which  speaks  of less  than  the
Perfection  of the Presence,  you  don't  want!  Therefore,  cast
it out of your  world!  It does  not belong  there!  Then,  go on
in the Great  Joy of your  Presence.
I wonder  do you  realize  what  it means  for our  Beloved
Betty  Mundy  to take  down  all of this,  which  she  has  so
faithfully  done;  and  our Beloved  Lotus  to get this  ready  for
the Students  everywhere?  In a conversation  of this  kind,
don't  feel  under  obligation  to use in published  form,  just
every  word  I have  said;  because  it is done  to bring  Certain
Activities  within  you;  but it is needed  to stabilize  and  hold
such  a Firmness,  that  no longer  is there  a single  moment
yielded  to less than  the Perfection  which  you  want. DISCOURSE  VIII  103
I thank  all of you  for This  Opportunity,  to again  give
forth  This  Assistance,  and  one  day  you  will  see how  much
It has meant;  but  remember,  you  are not separate  from  Us
and you  know  you  cannot  be separated  from  your  "Mighty
I AM  Presence"!  Therefore,  why  give  power  any  longer
to human  appearances,  to human  discordant  conversations ?
Why  do it? I am sure,  you  will  all be strong  enough  from
this hour,  to just  simply  hold  the Wall  of Light  so strong,
that not a discordant  thing  can  register  within  your  feeling
world.
May  each


 I didn’t have a lot ofmedical problems.
All of that changed after I had my first baby. That’s when my
weight began to fluctuate and I started experiencing painfulheadaches. I went from a size 3 to a size 13, and the headaches
181began affecting my ability to function. After my second pregnancy
I went up to a size 18 and the headaches got even worse. I triedliving on aspirin to control the pain, but it didn’t work.
At the age of 45 I hit a wall with my weight. I’d always
followed the Dr. Atkins diet to lose weight, but suddenly it didn’twork anymore. So I tried different things. I tried eating smallportions, eating low fat, low sugar, whole grains, fresh fruits andvegetables. I tried eating yogurt and popcorn and oatmeal. Ithought these foods were good for me and would help me, but allthey did was make me bigger.
As I got older my asthma attacks went out of control. It almost
seemed as though the more weight I gained, the worse the asthmagot. I started carrying my inhaler with me all of the time.
After my third baby I had gained so much weight I lost all the
muscle control in my tummy. I was pear-shaped. I had skinny legs,skinny arms, and a huge stomach. My doctor at the time told methat if I tried to carry another baby I’d probably drag it on theground so I decided not to have any more babies. I had my uterusremoved. That was in 1988.
I had other medical problems at that time as well. I had to
have a bladder operation—it seemed like everything was fallingout of me! One day I had an attack, doubling over in pain, avery sharp pain in the whole stomach. I was taken to a doctorwho diagnosed gallbladder and scheduled me for surgery.Unfortunately, after that surgery I had constant diarrhea. I alsohad high cholesterol. All my hormones had gone out of whack.
My doctor at the time prescribed Premarin for me and also
Meridia, a diet pill for weight loss (I was up to a size 20). In anattempt to understand my failing health, I was reading a lot, andI got hold of some literature that was critical of Premarin. I sharedit with this doctor. She told me it was nonsense. She said that sinceI did not have a uterus, I needed estrogen. She changed myPremarin to an estradiol patch, another type of estrogen.182 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  I began waking up every morning with headaches. It got so
that I dreaded going to sleep at night because I knew that when Iwoke up I’d have this excruciating pain. I had no energy andstarted experiencing hot flashes. When I discussed these symptomswith my doctor and suggested that the estradiol patch and theMeridia might not be helping me, she made me feel like a failure.It was as though it was my fault that I could not lose weight.
I was so worried about my failing health that I started
talking to everyone I met looking for advice. Through acompounding pharmacist I found my way to Dr. Platt.
At our first meeting, Dr. Platt did a very thorough history on
me. He wanted to know everything about my medical history, myparents’ medical history, my sister, my husband, everything. Hehad me take a blood test on my first visit. He did a completehormone panel and, after looking over the results, explained whatwas going on in my body. He told me that the food I had beeneating was affecting my insulin levels. He explained what happensthroughout the day when you eat those kinds of foods. He could seefrom my history and my blood tests that I was already making toomuch estrogen and certainly didn’t need to take more. Dr. Plattwas concerned about my daughter as well, since my family has ahistory of breast cancer and uterine cancer. He told me to stoptaking the estradiol and the Meridia, and he put both me and mydaughter on natural progesterone.
He told me that my other doctor wasn’t lying to me; it’s just
that she was misinformed about natural hormones. He also gaveme a book,
Metabolic Solutions, that reviewed all the things that
he told me about. He said I was to commit myself to a programthat he would design for me. He said I would lose my weight, havemore energy, and my headaches and hot flashes would probably goaway too.
A nutritional counselor in his office set a goal weight for me
and designed a meal plan that included shopping tips and foods to183 DOCT ORS DON’T ALWAYS LISTEN buy. He told me to wean myself off sugar and caffeine. The day
after I saw the counselor I was at work and I started to getweaker and sicker until by evening I thought I might be dying. Icalled the counselor, who had Dr. Platt call me back immediately.Dr. Platt reassured me that it was just my body going through adetoxification process from sugar and caffeine. He said I’d be a lotbetter the next day, and sure enough, he was right.
I continue to go into Dr. Platt’s office once a week. When I go
in, they check my blood pressure and my urine to see how muchfat I am burning. They weigh me, and I get a B12 shot.
It’s been easy to stay on the diet and I’ve lost 60 pounds. T oday
I don’t wake up with headaches any more—a miracle! Mydiarrhea’s gone, no headaches, no asthma, and I have energy now.People tell me all the time that I look slimmer.
I really believe that the natural hormones have helped me the
most. I’m able to control my eating now because I understandwhen and why I get hungry. Candy and caffeine just don’t seemimportant to me anymore. I’m also not scared of getting out ofcontrol when I get to my goal weight. I used to be afraid ofreaching my goal weight, thinking I would just gain it all backand then some, just like before. I now rely on the nutritionalcounselors at Dr. Platt’s office because they always have goodadvice for me. They remind me that I’m going to be introducingcarbohydrates one at a time, slowly, and that they will monitor theeffects on me. I haven’t reached my goal weight yet, but I alreadyfeel successful

CHILDBIRTH AND HEADACHES
Shirley’s headaches began after she gave birth to her first child.
That’s because pregnancy and birth cause vast hormonalshifts in some women. Hormones affect every aspect of184 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  pregnancy. The most obvious example is women with low
progesterone and high estrogen suffering from morningsickness and miscarriages.
During the second trimester, the placenta begins producing
copious quantities of progesterone. Progesterone is thefeel-good hormone, and that’s why we have the cliché of the“radiant” expectant mother as she nears childbirth. However,after a woman delivers, her progesterone level suddenlyplummets. At this point the cliché reverses itself: postpartumdepression is a common occurrence. In Shirley’s case, hernormally low progesterone levels sank even further after shegave birth, bringing on the headaches.
She’d already had symptoms of asthma as a result of her low
progesterone, and naturally those symptoms got worse after thebirth of her child. Shirley reports feeling that her asthma gotworse as her weight increased. This is not surprising, since themost likely cause of her asthma was a high estrogen levelassociated with low progesterone. The more fat cells a personhas, usually the higher their estrogen levels. This, by the way,could be the reason for the higher incidence of breast cancerin obese women.
Shirley’s feeling that it was harder and harder to control
her weight through dieting as she aged is something manypeople can identify with. People in their 40s often becomealarmed at how stubbornly fat clings to their bodies.Throughout their teens, 20s, and 30s, they were able to forcethemselves to shed a few pounds when they got desperateenough, but now nothing seems to work.
In Shirley’s case, this was doubly true because she was
over-producing insulin. Anyone who responds well to ahigh-protein diet is over-producing insulin. The most commonreason why people over-produce insulin is that they are not185 DOCT ORS DON’T ALWAYS LISTEN producing enough progesterone, and as we get older
progesterone levels decrease. This means that in middle ageour bodies will produce more insulin. And insulin, as I’vesaid again and again, is the fat-storing hormone.
SIGNS OF ESTROGEN DOMINANCE
Shirley’s medical profile told me in many different ways that she
was suffering from estrogen dominance. Very often, troublewith one’s gallbladder is a complication of estrogen dominance.The menstrual migraines were caused by estrogen. Herpear-shaped body type is the classic body type for someoneover-producing estrogen.
MERIDIA FOR WEIGHT LOSS
—A FOOL’S ERRAND
Shirley was prescribed Meridia to help her lose weight. This was
an error. Meridia is, in most cases, completely ineffective forsignificant weight loss.
Meridia is a combination of an SSRI (selective serotonin
reuptake inhibitor) and an NRI (norepinephrine reuptakeinhibitor). It was originally developed


 to aid you. To build a new reality you need new mental
structures. The situations that your ego resists with all its might are
precisely the ones that should be embraced, because from the spiritual
perspective anything that dismantles your limiting mental constructs is
beneficial. You have to break down the known to enable the unknown to
enter.
Letting go emotionally.
Emotions are more stubborn than thoughts. The glue that holds  you fast
to your old belie fs and expectations is emotion. Whenever you tell yourself
that you can’t let go, you are making an emotional statement. In reality you
can let go of any situation any time. “I can’t” really means, “I fear the
emotional conse quences if I do.” Your ego draws a line in the sand andinsists that you will not survive the inner feelings that will arise if the line is
crossed.
A powerful limitation is being self-imposed here, and at botto m it isn’t
true. Y ou will survive  any emotion; indeed, whatever you consider to be too
much fear, too much loss, too much humiliation, too much disapproval, too
much rejection has already happened. You have crossed the line many
times, otherwise you wouldn’ t know where to draw it. What your ego is
really saying is that you can’t cross the line again. From spirit’ s point of
view, however, you don’ t have to.
There is a law in the unconsci ous that whatever you avoid will come
back, and the more you avoid it, the stronger its return. People who swear
that they will never be that afraid again, that angry, that devasta ted are only
setting themselv es up for the return of fear, anger, and devastation. The
refusal to face this fact creates much unnecessary misery.
Instead of r esisting any emotion, the best way to dispel it is to enter it fully, embrace it, and see
through your r esistance.
Painful emotion s don’t come back for external reasons. They return because
they are part of you; you creat ed them before pushing them away. Every
emotion you experience is yours.
We all make the mistake of believing that something “out there” makes
us afraid, angry, depressed, anxious, and so on. In truth events “out there”
are only triggers. The cause of every emotion is “in here,” which means that
inner work can heal it.
Deciding to do the inner work is the first and most important step. Even
after years of emotional healing, there will be moments when you are
certain that someone else is responsible for making you feel a certain way.
Dedication to inner work means  refusing to accept this perspect ive ever, no
matter how often it returns. Spiritually, you are the creator of your reality.
You are the interpreter, the seer, the decision-maker, the chooser. When you
find yourself dominated by a negative emotion, try to release it physically
first, since bodily ef fects are half or more of what you’re feeling.
Having done that, use the following formulas to reframe your emotion, as
they apply:Instead of telling yourself that your emotion is bad, ask it what it has
to tell you.  Every emotion exists for a reason, and the reason is always
to help you. Emotions are here to serve.
Instead of pushing an emotion away, tell it you want to have a closer
look.  Ask it to reveal itself from behind its mask. V ery often you will
find that emotions are layered. Anger masks fear; fear masks hurt.
Getting past an emotion means getting through its layers to the root.
If a feeling is overwhelming, say to yourself, “I want to ride this out
first befor e I look at it.”  Realize that the overwhelming feeling isn’ t
the real you; it’ s something you’re going through.
If you r ecognize that certain situations always bring the same r eaction,
ask what you need to learn in or der for that r eaction to change.
Repetition is like a knock on the door—it stops when you open the
door and greet what’ s on the other side.
Whenever you find yourself drawing a line in the sand, stop doing it.
Resisting only makes things worse. Let the emotion rise. Release it by
crying, screaming, losing your temper, shaking with fear—whatever it
takes. Emotions come and go. Realize that each one has a rhythm, and
allow yourself to be in that rhythm. The best way not to drown is to
ride the wave.
As you begin to master the art of letting go, with patience, dedication, and
love, your reality will change.  It has no choice. Things “out there” are
always mirrors of what’ s going on “in here.” In the process of letting go you
will lose many things from the past, but you will find yourself. It will not be
a self made of beliefs, expectations, and interpretations, for these things
come and go. It will be a permanent Self, rooted in awareness and
creativity. Once you have captured this, you have captured the world.
OceanofPDF.comIN OUR LIVES
What About Me?
DELLA AND FRANK  had gotten to the point where everything seemed to turn
into an argumen t, but at least they agreed on one thing: each of them was
married to the most selfish person in the world. They were becoming
masters of biting sarcasm and had developed thick enough skins to take
what the other dished out. Keeping up appearances in front of other people
was still possible with effort, but there were mornings when the only
communication between Della and Frank was a terse note left on the
breakfast table.
“We’re still sleeping in the same bed,” Della said. “We have our good
days and even some good weeks, but for some reason we can’ t stop going at
each other.”
Some of their friends muttered “lawyers” and left it at that. Della had met
Frank on the law review staff at the end of law school, eight years ago.
Theirs wasn’t a smooth road to marriage—it was more like the cautious
courtship of two hedgehogs—and neither made apologies for his or her
strong personality. They knew what they wanted and never let a grievance
rest. When bantering turned to bickering and then started to draw blood, it
was hard to assess responsibility on either side.
“No one knows how hard we’re trying. Right from the start we thought
our marriage had a good chance,” Della says. “A lot of issues got worked
out in advance. For instance, Frank agreed that I could keep my earnings
separate from his. We’re very meticulous about keeping accounts so that the
expenses are divided fairly. There’ s nothing worse in my eyes than a
woman who wants her own money but makes the man pay for everything.”
This was one of the first areas that exposed the rift resulting from the
extremely different backgrounds they came from. Della was born into a
well-to-do family of lawyers and judges from suburban Rhode Island. Frankgrew up in a poor section of Providence, working at his father ’s jewelry
store to put himself through school.
“Our first fight came right after we decided to become engaged,” Della
says. “I wanted my family to be the first to hear the news, and Frank didn’ t
seem to care one way or the other. So we arranged to leave law school over
a long weekend. Everything was packed, and I took out a picture of my
parents to show Frank. He freaked and refused to go.”
“It wasn ’t a picture of her parents to me,” Frank counters. “I saw the
Bentley and the two-story brick  mansion in the background. Della’s father
stood in front like the monarch  of all he surveyed. I thought, Maybe she
doesn’ t need another man to take care of her. The one she’s got looks pretty
awesome.”
In Frank’ s family having a man to provide for you was a natural
expectation for a woman. In Della’ s family there had been several
generations of financially independent women. The rift over “your money”
and “my money” went deep, despite their carefully thoughtout
arrangements over bank accounts.
Among all the people who know them, I was one of the saddest to see
these cracks develop. There were others: Frank and Della had their own
strong opinions about politics, to which they clung vociferously, even
combatively. Frank ate meat, Della was a vegetarian. Della wanted to save
money to send their two children to Montessori when they were ready for
school, Frank thought public schools were good enough. Hadn’ t they been
good enough for him?
“Lawyers” wasn’ t sufficient to explain what had happened between these
two. It seemed to me that despite their raging differences Della and Frank
shared the same worldview, epitomized in the complaining phrase “What
about me?” They love each other, but love hasn’ t conquered what I call the
return of the ego. Its return hits hard at the root of commitment. Very soon
after the honeymoon, if not on it, two people discover that they are not one.
Because this eruption in paradis e inevitably triggers a clash of wills, most
couples have a vivid memory of their first big fight. The immediate cause
of the quarrel is insignificant. What is really at stake is the return of the ego.
Complex issues  are


a man is silently re-senting his wife and is full of hostilit y toward her,
he is unfaithful.
He is not faithful to his marriage vows, which are to love, c herish,
and honor her all the days of his life.
The man who is brooding, bitter, and resentful can swallow his
sharp remarks, abate his anger, and he can go to great lengths to be
considerate, kind, and courteous. He can deftly skirt the differe nces.
Through praise and mental effort, he can get out of the habit of
antagonism. Then, he will be able to get along better, not only with his
wife, but with business associates also. Assume the harmonious state,
and eventually you will find peace and harmony.

 153  •The great mistake
A great mistake is to discuss your marital problems or  diffi-culties
with neighbors and relatives. Suppose, for example, a wife s ays to the
neighbor, “John never gives me any money. He treats my mother
abominably, drinks to excess, and is constantly abusive and insulting.”
Now, this wife is degrading and belittling her husband in the eyes  of
all the neighbors and relatives. He no longer appears as the i deal
husband to them. Never discuss your marital prob-lems with any one
except a trained counselor. Why cause numer-ous people to think
negatively of your marriage? Moreover, as you discuss and dwell
upon these shortcomings of your husband, you are actually creating
these states within yourself. Who is thinking and feeling it? You are!
As you think and feel, so are you.
Relatives will usually give you the wrong advice. It is us u-ally
biased and prejudiced because it is not given in an im-per sonal way.
Any advice you receive which violates the golden rule, which is  a
cosmic law, is not good or sound.
It is well to remember that no two human beings ever lived be neath
the same roof without clashes of temperament, periods of hurts and
strain. Never display the unhappy side of your mar-riage to your
friends. Keep your quarrels to yourself. Refrain from criticism  and
condemnation of your partner.
• Don ’t try to make your wife over
A husband must not try to make his wife over into a second edition
of himself. The tactless attempt to change her in many ways i s foreign
to her nature. These attempts are always foolish, and many time s
result in dissolution of the marriage. These attempts to alt er her
destroy her pride and self-esteem, and arouse a spirit of con trariness
and resentment that proves fatal to the marriage bond.
Adjustments are needed, of course, but if you have a good look
inside your own mind, and study your character and be-havior, you
will find so many shortcomings, they will keep you busy the res t of
 154  your Me. If you say, “I will make him over into what I want,” you are
looking for trouble and the divorce court. You are asking for miser y.
You will have to learn the hard way that there is no one to cha nge but
yourself.
• Pray together and stay together through steps in prayer
The first step: Never carry over from one day to another
accumulated irritations arising from little disappointments. Be sure to
forgive each other for any sharpness before you retire at night. The
moment you awaken in the morning, claim infinite intelligence is
guiding you in all your ways. Send out loving thoughts of peace,
harmony, and love to your marriage partner, to all members of  the
family, and to the whole world.
The second step: Say grace at breakfast. Give thanks for the
wonderful food, for your abundance, and for all your bless-ings. Make
sure that  no problems, worries, or arguments shall enter i nto the table
conversation; the same applies at dinnertime. Say to your wif e or
husband, “I appreciate all you are doing, and I radiate love and good
will to you all day long.”
The third step: The husband and wife should alternate in praying
each night. Do not take your marriage partner for granted. Show y our
appreciation and love. Think appreciation and good will, rather than
condemnation, criticism, and nagging. The way to build a peaceful
home and a happy marriage is to use a foundation of love, beauty,
harmony, mutual respect, faith in God, and all things good. Read the
23rd, 27th, and 91st Psalms, the 11th chapter of Hebrews, the 13th
chapter of I Corinthians, and other great texts of the Bibl e before
going to sleep. As you practice these truths, your marriage w ill grow
more and more blessed through the years.

 155  • Review your actions
1. Ignorance of mental and spiritual laws is the cause of all  marital
unhappiness. By praying scientifically together, you stay together.
2. The best time to prevent divorce is before marriage. If you learn
how to pray in the right way, you will attract the right mate for you.
3. Marriage is the union of a man and woman who are bound
together by love. Their hearts beat as one, and they move onward,
upward, and Godward.
4. Marriage does not bequeath happiness. People find hap-piness by
dwelling on the eternal truths of God and the spiritual values of life.
Then, the man and woman can con-tribute to each other’s happiness
and joy.
5. You attract the right mate by dwelling on the qualities and
characteristics you admire in a woman or a man, and then your
subconscious mind will bring you together in divine order.
6. You must build into your mentality the mental equivalent of  what
you want in a marriage partner. If you want to attract an  honest,
sincere, and loving partner in life, you must be honest, sincere, an d
loving yourself.
7. You do not have to repeat mistakes in marriage. When you really
believe you can have the type man or woman you idealize, it is  done
unto you, as you believe. To believe is to accept something as t rue.
Accept your ideal companion now mentally.
8. Do not wonder how, why, or where you will meet the mate you
are praying for. Trust implicitly the wisdom of your subconsc ious
mind. It has the “know-how,” and you don’t have to assist it.
9. You are mentally divorced when you indulge in peeves, grudges,
ill will, and hostility toward your marriage partner. You are mentally
dwelling with error in the bed of your mind. Adhere to your marriage
vows, “I promise to cherish, love, and honor him (or her) all the days
of my life.”
 156  10. Cease projecting fear patterns to your marriage partner. Project
love, peace, harmony, and good will, and your mar-riage will grow
more beautiful and more wonderful through the years.
11. Radiate love, peace, and good will to each other. These
vibrations are picked up by the subconscious mind resulting in  mutual
trust, affection, and respect.
12. A nagging wife is usually seeking attention and apprecia-t ion.
She is craving for love and affection. Praise and exalt her many good
points. Show her that you love her and ap-preciate her.
13. A man who loves his wife does not do anything unloving or
unkind in word, manner, or action. Love is what love does.
14. In marital problems, always seek expert advice. You would no t
go to a carpenter to pull a tooth; neither should you discuss your
marriage problems with relatives or friends. You should go to a
trained person for counsel.
15. Never try to make your wife or husband over. These at-tempts
are always foolish and tend to destroy the pride and self-est eem of the
other. Moreover, it arouses a spirit of resentment that prove s fatal to
the marriage bond. Cease trying to make the other a second edit ion of
yourself.
16. Pray together and you will stay together. Scientific prayer sol ves
all problems. Mentally picture your wife as she ought to be, j oyous,
happy, healthy, and beautiful. See your hus-band, as he ought to be,
strong, powerful, loving, harmoni-ous, and kind. Maintain this mental
picture, and you will experience the marriage made in heave n, which
is harmony and peace.

Your Subconscious Mind and Your
Happiness
William James, father of American psychology, said that the
greatest discovery of the nineteenth century was not in the realm of
physical science.
The greatest discovery was the power of the subconscious touc hed
by faith.
In every human being is that limitless reservoir of power, which can
overcome any prob-lem in the world. True and lasting happiness wi ll
come into your life the day you get the clear realization that  you can
overcome any weak-ness—the day you realize that your subconsciou


 hardened, and liquify it so that it will run out of the body.
This is the beginning of the program.
The real work in healing the body is going to come later when there is a transformation in tissue integrity resulting in a hi gher
quality body. This process brings on the healing crisis and may take 6 months to bring on a complete elimination. Thi s will result
in cleaner, purer tissue that is able to accept and handle the good, vital foods you’re feeding it.
This program is not just a colonic - it is much more. We call it a colema because it’s a combination of an enema and a colonic.
This program i nvolves more than just taking Core of the bowel. We must prepare the body’s elimination channels for the
housecleaning that is on the way. If we build the body up to cause a cleansing to occur, then we must open up the elimination
systems to handle this di scarded material.
It is common for old, toxic substances to flow not only from the bowel, but from all channels; lungs, mouth, nose, ears, skin,
kidneys, lymph, vagina; all possible channels must be ready and capable of handling the flood.
In preparing for  this occurrence, I strongly advise that you become more familiar with the process by studying my book which
explains the healing crisis in detail, titled Doctor -Patient Handbook. One of the usual occurrences for those who have experienced
this system is t he extreme elimination of feces. One patient explains that she could have a complete bowel movement and then take
a colema and have still another bowel movement and, after an hour or so, have another complete bowel movement!

Many people think that they ar e cleaned out when they have one movement. Unfortunately, most people are as many as 10 meals
behind in their eliminations! They are holding many meals in the ballooning, pocketed portions of their bowel. The colema
treatment will loosen up this material a nd make it flow. It will also restore tone and activity to that part of the bowel that is
distorted and underactive. We’ve had some people who are afraid that they are losing part of the bowel because the material
coming through is so unbelievable in its s hape, color, consistency and odor. They can’t imagine the heavy mucous lining being so
foul, thick and stringy. This is not a desirable thing to retain in the bowel because it is carrying the seeds of disease and  illness. It is
loaded with old drugs, tissu e and morbid substances. It is the favored environment for the disease -producing bacillus coli. As the
body rises up from the old, we must work with it, support it and encourage the process. We work with less food, more broths, more
rest. The body responds  with revitalization and regeneration in all the tissues of the organism. This is why we call it a tissue
cleansing treatment. It gets after every tissue in the body, not just the bowel. We realize by now that every tissue in the b ody is as
clean as the bo wel. This is due to the fact that every tissue is fed by the blood which is nourished by the bowel. When the bowel is
dirty, the blood is dirty and so on to the organs and tissues.

When diarrhea comes along, don’t stop it. Let it go, it is a cleansing pr ocess. Drink plenty of liquids to avoid being dehydrated.
During the healing crisis, do not eat very much; nothing at all is best. Overeating during this time will possibly shut down the
process and thereby delay that which you have worked so hard to make occur. Go instead to the vegetable juices, vegetable broths
and light liquids. If there is any fever, do not use any fruit juices, especially citrus juices. Potato peeling broth is the best thing to
use at this time. A fever indicates that the body is hard  at work burning up toxic substances. Let’s not interfere with it by forcing
the body to divert needed cleansing energy into having to process food.

The bowel is like a vacuum cleaner bag. It filters and filters until it is all clogged up and doesn’t do i ts job anymore. In fact, a
clogged up bag causes damage to the motor by allowing debris to pass by where it finds its way into the delicate machinery. I t also
places a very heavy load upon the motor, which is trying to draw air through the dirty bag. The c olema treatment unplugs the filter,
so to speak. This treatment will be relatively new to a lot of people. It can be used by young and old alike, as well as so -called
healthy people. Practically any disease, discharging, infection, catarrhal or bowel distu rbance and lowered hormone balance due to
toxins can benefit from this treatment.

WHERE CAUTION IS NECESSARY
In diverticulitis we find that there can be severe reactions resulting from the painful condition that already exists in the patient.
There may b e abscesses forming. We might have a perforation of the bowel and we must be very careful in taking care of this. It
will always be best to have a doctor’s counsel and to see just what is going on. We find that if we can cleanse the bowel wit hout
any diste ntion, even though using large amounts of water in the enema, we will be helping these sensitive problems. We feel that
the colema, which is one of the most natural ways of putting water into the bowel and eliminating it without any heavy disten tion,
is probably the best way to take care of these things. However, we must make sure that we don’t have any symptoms that are really
grievous to the patient, mentally or physically. We must also watch that the white cell count does not become very high becau se
we find that this will be a sign of infection and possibly conditions developing other than the diverticulitis that couir be of a serious
nature. Further, we have to consider that there could be obstructions in that bowel from a growth and that to expect anyt hing to
happen immediately from the colema and from the tissue cleansing treatment may be unrealistic. It is always best to have a do ctor
check over these conditions to make sure this treatment can be used in combination with his suggestions and with his d iag-nosis.

WARNING AND ADVICE
Due to the fact that this can be considered the most powerful tissue cleansing treatment available today, some skill must be
attended to persons given this treatment. It is well to have the cooperation of a doctor to handle t he most severe cases. It is also
advisable to have a complete clinical examination so that all and any tests can be monitored as patient makes progress. This is not
to be considered a “cure -all,” but an adjunctive treatment. It is a foundation for thorough  tissue detoxification by way of colon
cleansing. It is well to have complete regulatory and competent advisory consultation with those giving and administering thi s
treatment. A doctor knowing the “reversal process of cure” is to be desired. A disease in its reversal system will bring about
different symptoms and can be responsible for elimination processes. Chemical, mechanical or nutritional assistance is also
desirable and can be used with any other form of treatment favoring elimination and detoxificat ion. A clinical examination should
basically include: urinalysis, a complete blood count, PBI, SMA -24, acid -alkaline fecal test, test for acidophilus bacteria, X -rays
when needed, and any other test(s) that can be used to show tissue or functional changes taking place during this treatment. Any
particular weakness of any organ or system that is underactive should be tested often, or as deemed appropriate by doctor in order
to monitor the patient closely.

WARNING. Diabetic, tubercular, cancer and extreme de generative diseases must have guidance, sanction and assistance by the
most capable minds and doctor. Diabetic cases must be handled with particular care in regard to the fasting aspect of the
cleanse. Also all cases are not alike in their response to the detoxification program. Results may vary considerably according to
individual constitutions. Frequent colonic irrigation will have an adverse effect upon the electrolyte balance of the colon.
Electrolyte leaching is not a good process and must be avoided. The best way to prevent this occurrence is to be absolutely certain
that adequate amounts of lactobacillus organisms are re -established in the colon. To accomplish this task, refer to pages 51 through
55 in this book.

When the body is properly fed with go od quality foods containing organic sodium, potassium and magnesium, the electrolyte level
of the colon will be replenished as part of the diet. We must eat properly along with colon treatments. DO NOT OVERLOOK
THIS VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT OF COLON HEALTH.

SUPPLEMENTS
A DEFINITION OF PROPERTIES
The following ingredients are used in the treatment for specific reasons. So that you may more fully appreciate the usefulnes s of
these items, a brief explanation of their properties is included.
Alfalfa —The differe nce between alfalfa tablets, Green Life and Sun Chlorella is that alfalfa has all the fiber material left in it from
the stems and fiber structure of the leaves. These act as a bulk and a material for a ballooned or weakened bowel to work aga inst
the tone of the tissues of the bowel. This also allows a faster transit time for the bowel. This is one


Ahuja. Ahuja used to keep aspirin and Etvobioform tablets always in his bad. People knew it and whenever anyone had headache of slight fever he would go to Mr. Ahuja for aspirin and was never disappointed. Ahuja's daily quota of aspirin was 4 to 5 tablets. Complications other than headache started developing and Ahuja was running from doctor to doctor. Doctors would prescribe further medicines. Condition did not improve and Mr. Ahuja reverted to Ayurvedic treatment. The first condition of the Vaidya was to 106 stop tea and aspirin and other medicines as well. Ahuja agreed. Vaidyaji prescribed some Ayurvedic laxative and blood purifier. But since headache would not stop Ahuja again took aspirin etc. and could not get well. One of my friend told him about urine treatment and referred my name in case he wanted to know more about.   After hesitating for some days he once came to me. I asked him to take leave for three days as the reaction might set in. He took leave and at home drank urine and water whole day without taking anything else. He told his family members that he was on fast. Next day he had a violent vomiting and loose motion also. But he continued his fast second day as well. By evening he was feeling extremely restful and slept like a log in the night. Third day he broke his fast and took fruits. Fourth day he again took fruits and milk only of course he continued drinking urine. From fifth day he reverted to normal diet. but he has left the tea and aspirin forever and is free from headache and constipation.  Miracles of Urine Therapy by Morarji Desai  HEARING PROBLEMS  “ Vipul Chinubhai Shah of Pushpakunj Society, Ahmedabad, is a boy of 10.  For the past sometime, he suffered from pain and ringing in the ears. He was also hard of hearing. Some allopathic medicine relieved him of the trouble temporarily.”  Manav Mootra by R.M. Patel  HEART DISEASE  “He was suffering from asthma since 1946, heart disease since 1948, eye trouble since 1955, for years pain in knees and shoulders and pyorrhea. Attending to all these complaints with western medicines, he was frustrated. Homeopath Dr. M. Kathadani advised him about urine therapy and he proposed to try it.  From 9-9-1973 he began drinking his urine twice or thrice daily and applying twice to the eyes also. He could not massage with urine but he followed the dietetic restrictions. Gradually all the complaints were cured. Within a year and a half some of them were completely cured. Asthma was cured 90%. He used to have heart attacks twice or thrice a month. Now they came once in five or six months. The white leucodermic spot on the tip of his nose has contracted to a very small size. Soles of feet do not chop of crack. His heaviness has also decreased by about 12 lbs, body became lighter and hence more active.”  from Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel 107  HEART DISEASE  Shri Raojibhai had a history of heart problems, including heart attacks and intense coughing. He read Armstrong's book 'The Water of Life' that was gifted to him at an ashram. He decided to experiment on himself with urine therapy. He then called a doctor on whose intelligence and integrity he had much faith and told him about his decision. After this consultation he started him treatment.  From 18th February he started anointment of his body with five days old urine. His son Shashikant did this with enthusiasm. As a result in four days his urine was passing without any difficulty. Earlier he was taking tablets for this purpose. After seven days his pain of back subsided and he was able to get up and walk without assistance. Raojibhai itching a burning sensation and feeling of numbness in his legs. He feared eczema. But all these symptoms vanished in nine days. He continued anointment. In fifteen days coughing stopped, threat cleared and he was enjoying restful sound sleep daily. Apart from these changes his general appearance was greatly improved. His face became bright and skin clear and soft. Doctor and family members were astonished to see these changes in him. Raojibhai was encouraged very much with the result of urine therapy. He wanted to fast with urine. But before taking this step he wanted to be on sure grounds. He, therefore, decided to get medically checked and take the advice of doctor before starting fact.   On medical examination it was found that the size of the heart has reduced. Lungs were clear and dry. There was no trace of cough. Heart rate was 80, B.P. 140 and temperature normal.   Although heart rate was normal but its movement was irregular, showing heart disease. However, since there was no coughing, doctor hoped that heart would now get rest and its condition would therefore improve.  Raojibhai now asked doctor's permission to fast. Doctor allowed fast for two days only. He started the fast and wanted to continue after two days. Doctor did not permit him for this so he broke his fast with pulse water. Anointment was stopped and Raojibhai kept on taking his urine in the morning.  His condition was found improved. There was some change in the E.C.G. of heart. Doctor was very happy. He continued taking drinking urine and casual anointment also. He was not cured all together but was living very happy life.

Modi of Bombay, aged 36, suffered from weakness of heart. He read a about my experiments and wrote to me a letter :  ‘All the symptoms you have related in your article are visible in my body. I was also prescribed the same medicine by the doctor. I got the first attack of this trouble in 1955. Now with the second attack I am confined to bed for the last five weeks. On 2-6-1958,  condition became serious but God saved me. The doctor has diagnosed the disease as ‘Mitral heart disease.’ But another diagnosed it as Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis with congestive cardiac failure’, while in your case it had been diagnosed as asthma.  109 I am writing this because I, too, want to begin a similar experiment on urine. The physicians have declared my disease as incurable and I am tired of it. My doctors are not permitting me to begin this experiment. I shall be highly obliged if you advise me whether I can adopt urine treatment. I shall not hold you in any way responsible for the consequences.’  In reply to this letter, I wrote to him about my experience along with some instructions. He began the treatment and he felt a gradual improvement. At the end of August, he had recovered and felt himself strong and vigorous enough to attend his office daily.”  Manav Mootra by R. M.

He cured himself of his weakness of the heart, and his heart is now strong enough to allow him to work with full vigor.”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John F. O'Quinn  HEART WEAKNESS  “N. C. Chashmawala of Surat was suffering from weakness of the heart for the last six years. His age was forty-three. Up to the age of thirty, he had experienced no disease. At the age of thirty-six, he suddenly felt severe pain starting in the back and bringing pressure on the heart. That made him quite uneasy and weak. He could not walk a few steps without having to rest on the way. Friends and relatives told him that the pain was due to a cold. Doctors could not cure it. By chance, he took brandy for its cure and got some relief for a while. But


 the only use I'd had for doctors was to fix a few
traumatic injuries. The only preventative health care I concerned myself with was to take a multivitamin pill during those rare
spells when I felt a bit run -down and to eat lots of vegetables. So I'd not learned much about alternative health care.
    Naturally, my first stop wa s a local general practitioner/MD. He gave me his usual half -hour get -acquainted checkout and
opined that there almost certainly was nothing wrong with me. I suspect I had the good fortune to encounter an honest doctor,
because he also said if it were my w ish he could send me around for numerous tests but most likely these would not reveal
anything either. More than likely, all that was wrong was that I was approaching 40; with the onset of middle age I would nat urally
have more aches and pains. ‘Take some aspirin and get used to it,' was his advice. 'It'll only get worse.'
    Not satisfied with his dismal prognosis I asked an energetic old guy I knew named Paul, an ‘80 -something homesteader who
was renowned for his organic garden and his good health. Paul  referred me to his doctor, Isabelle Moser, who at that time was
running the Great Oaks School of Health, a residential and out -patient spa nearby at Creswell, Oregon.
    Dr. Moser had very different methods of analysis than the medicos, was warmly perso nal and seemed very safe to talk to. She
looked me over, did some strange magical thing she called muscle testing and concluded that I still had a very strong constit ution.
If I would eliminate certain "bad" foods from my diet, eliminate some generally hea lthful foods that, unfortunately, I was allergic
to, if I would reduce my alcohol intake greatly and take some food supplements, then gradually my symptoms would abate. With
the persistent application of a little self -discipline over several months, maybe six months, I could feel really well again almost all
the time and would probably continue that way for many years to come. This was good news, though the need to apply personal
responsibility toward the solution of my problem seemed a little sobering.
    But I could also see that Dr. Moser was obviously not telling me something. So I gently pressed her for the rest. A little sh yly,
reluctantly, as though she were used to being rebuffed for making such suggestions, Isabelle asked me if I had ever heard of
fasting? 'Yes,' I said. "I had. Once when I was about twenty and staying at a farm in Missouri, during a bad flu I actually d id fast,
mainly because I was too sick to take anything but water for nearly one week.'
    "Why do you ask?" I demanded.
    "If you would fast, you will start feeling really good as soon as the fast is over." she said.
    "Fast? How long?"
    "Some have fasted for a month or even longer," she said. Then she observed my crestfallen expression and added, "Even a
couple of weeks  would make an enormous difference."
    It just so happened that I was in between set -up stages for a new mail -order business I was starting and right then I did have a
couple of weeks when I was virtually free of responsibility. I could also face the id ea of not eating for a couple of weeks. "Okay!" I
said somewhat impulsively. "I could fast for two weeks. If I start right now maybe even three weeks, depending on how my
schedule works out."
    So in short order I was given several small books about fas ting to read at home and was mentally preparing myself for several
weeks of severe privation, my only sustenance to be water and herb tea without sweetener. And then came the clinker.
    "Have you ever heard of colonics?" she asked sweetly.
    "Yes. Weird practice, akin to anal sex or something?"
    "Not at all," she responded. "Colonics are essential during fasting or you will have spells when you'll feel terrible. Only c olonics
make water fasting comfortable and safe."
    Then followed  some explanation about bowel cleansing (and another little book to take home) and soon I was agreeing to get
my body over to her place for a colonic every two or three days during the fasting period, the first colonic scheduled for th e next
afternoon. I'l l spare you a detailed description of my first fast with colonics; you'll read about others shortly. In the end I withstood
the boredom of water fasting for 17 days. During the fast I had about 7 colonics. I ended up feeling great, much trimmer, wit h an
enormous rebirth of energy. And when I resumed eating it turned out to be slightly easier to control my dietary habits and
appetites.
    Thus began my practice of an annual health -building water fast. Once a year, at whatever season it seemed propitious, I 'd set
aside a couple of weeks to heal my body. While fasting I'd slowly drive myself over to Great Oaks School for colonics every o ther
day. By the end of my third annual fast in 1981, Isabelle and I had become great friends. About this same time Isabelle's
relationship with her first husband, Douglas Moser, had disintegrated. Some months later, Isabelle and I became partners. And
then we married.
    My regular fasts continued through 1984, by which time I had recovered my fundamental organic vigor and ha d retrained my
dietary habits. About 1983 Isabelle and I also began using Life Extension megavitamins as a therapy against the aging process.
Feeling so much better I began to find the incredibly boring weeks of prophylactic fasting too difficult to motiva te myself to do,
and I stopped. Since that time I fast only when acutely ill. Generally less than one week on water handles any non -optimum health
condition I've had since ‘84. I am only 54 years old as I write these words, so I hope it will be many, many years before I find
myself in the position where I have to fast for an extended period to deal with a serious or life -threatening condition.
    I am a kind of person the Spanish call autodidactico, meaning that I prefer to teach myself. I had already lea rned the fine art of
self-employment and general small -business practice that way, as well as radio and electronic theory, typography and graphic
design, the garden seed business, horticulture, and agronomy. When Isabelle moved in with me she also brought most of Great
Oak's extensive library, including very hard to obtain copies of the works of the early hygienic doctors. Naturally I studied  her
books intensely.
    Isabelle also brought her medical practice into our house. At first it was only a few loya l local clients who continued to consult
with her on an out -patient basis, but after a few years, the demands for residential care from people who were seriously and
sometimes life -threateningly sick grew irresistibly, and I found myself sharing our family  house with a parade of really sick
people. True, I was not their doctor, but because her residential clients became temporary parts of our family, I helped supp ort and
encourage our residents through their fasting process. I'm a natural teacher (and how -to-do-it writer), so I found myself explaining
many aspects of hygienic medicine to Isabelle's clients, while having a first -hand opportunity to observe for myself the healing
process at work. Thus it was that I became the doctor's assistant and came to pra ctice second -hand hygienic medicine.
    In 1994, when Isabelle had reached the age of 54, she began to think about passing on her life's accumulation of healing wisd om
by writing a book. She had no experience at writing for the popular market, her only m ajor writing being a Ph.D. dissertation. I on
the other hand had published seven books about vegetable gardening. And I grasped the essentials of her wisdom as well as any
non-practitioner could. So we took a summer off and rented a house in rural Costa Ri ca, where I helped Isabelle put down her
thoughts on a cheap word -processing typewriter. When we returned to the States, I fired -up my "big -mac" and composed this
manuscript into a rough book format that was given to some of her clients to get what is tren dily called these days, "feedback."
    But before we could completely finish her book, Isabelle became dangerously ill and after a long, painful struggle with
abdominal cancer, she died. After I resurfaced from the worst of my grief and loss, I decided t o finish her book. Fortunately, the
manuscript needed little more than polishing. I am telling the reader these things because many ghost -written books end up having
little direct connection with the originator of the thoughts. Not so in this case. And unl ike many ghost writers, I had a long and
loving apprenticeship with the author. At every step of our colaboration on this book I have made every effort to communicate
Isabelle's viewpoints in the way she would speak, not my own. Dr. Isabelle Moser was for many years my dearest friend. I have
worked on this book to help her


illing drugs that can be extremely damaging to these
organs. Such drugs include aspirin, phenacetin and acetominophen. People often
don't experience any symptoms from loss of kidney function until 90% of the
function is gone, and then the damage is irreversible.
The kidneys should be flushed each day with liberal quantities of fluid, either RO
filtered water, distilled water or fresh fruit and vegetable juices (preferably organic).
Parsley tea is excellent for strengthening the kidneys. Those with kidney problems
should avoid ordinary commercial teas and coffee as a beverage. Herbal teas are
acceptable.
For those who tend to retain fluid, watermelon is an excellent diuretic. If the melon
is organically grown, the rind should be juiced and sipped first thing in the morning
and then the red fleshy part of the fruit may be eaten. Two mornings a week, one may
take the juice of a whole lemon in warm RO filtered water or distilled water as a
diuretic (citrus should not be used more than 2 days a week, as it tends to upset the
calcium-phosphorus metabolism if used more frequently). Shavegrass or horsetail tea
is a good diuretic and also good for the skin and hair. An excellent diuretic salad may
be made by combining cabbage and onions — finely sliced — with crushed raw
garlic, parsley, and herbs like sage, cumin, and juniper berries, if available. Cover this
mixture with very hot RO filtered water or distilled water and place a lid over it for 10
minutes. Drain the mixture (the liquid is good to save for soup bases, grains, etc.) and
97
Winning The Cancer War
squeeze a lemon over it. It can be eaten as is or refrigerated first. It can also be mixed
with other salads.
In extreme fluid retention, one's physician may prescribe a diuretic drug, which is
permissible, and the doctor w ill normally increase the intake of potassium to
compensate for its loss due to the drug.
In kidney disease the protein intake should be limited and extra vitamins and
minerals taken.
Cleansing The Lungs
Life is dependent upon the adequate exchanges of gases in the lungs. The most
significant are the removal of carbonic acid and the flow of oxygen into the blood.
The lungs give off many other gaseous wastes. Sometimes before, but more frequently
after the start of Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Program the patient or those close
to him or her may notice a foul odor on the breath. No amount of toothpaste or
mouthwash will remove it for long, since it comes from the bloodstream. One can be
assured, however, that this is only a phase and that the poisons are leaving the body.
If there is excessive accumulation of mucus in the nostrils and/or bronchial system,
this inhibits the detoxification functions of the lungs. Mucus-forming food should be
avoided if mucus is a problem. These are principally dairy products, with the
exception of butter and cream, and baked flour products. Anti-mucus foods such as
raw onions and garlic, cayenne pepper, freshly ground black pepper, fresh ginger,
and horseradish should be eaten liberally.
Cleansing The Skin
Most people overlook the skin as an organ of detoxification. But it is sometimes
called "the third kidney," since many of its functions in fluid and electrolyte balance
are similar to those of the kidneys. When great amounts of poisons flood the body, all
systems are overloaded and this function of the skin is sorely needed. As the skin is
utilized, all sorts of eruptions, odors, colors, and blemishes may appear. These
conditions will disappear as the body becomes purified.
One can quickly assess the relative efficiency of elimination through the skin by
looking at his iris (the colored portion of the eye). The skin is represented by the
outermost part of the iris. If it is very dark and dense, the condition is called a "scurf
rim" in iridology, and it means that the skin is relatively blocked as an organ of
elimination. To open it up, skin brushing before a shower and vigorous use of a
loofah sponge in the shower are recommended. A good quality vegetable-bristle, skin
98
Winning The Cancer War
brush should be purchased from the health food store or pharmacy. One should
brush up the front of the body and down the back, over all exposed skin surfaces,
until a warm glow is felt. Then one should take a warm shower and rub briskly with a
loofah sponge (available in most health food stores) to remove the layers of dead skin
loosened by the brushing. (We have found it best to take a hot shower each morning.)
Castile or other pure soap should be used — but in a minimal amount, since heavy
soaping w ill wash all the valuable skin oils off and can cause the skin to overproduce
oil in order to compensate. The hair should be shampooed frequently with a non
chemical soap or shampoo, which can be found in health food stores.
At the end of the shower, one should turn the water to cool, then to warm. As one
becomes accustomed to the temperature change, he or she may go from hot to cold
and back several times. This exercises the tiny muscles in the skin, which control
dilation and contraction of the pores. As they become stronger, they can respond
better to the physiological demands of the body.
After the shower, one can sit in a tub of water with a cup of apple cider vinegar
added, to restore and strengthen the acid mantle of the skin. Afterward, the body
should be dried and rubbed briskly with a towel until a warm glow is felt.
Epsom salt baths may also be used to help draw toxins out of the skin. These baths
are especially beneficial if one is going through a "healing crisis" and is especially
toxic and feeling bad. Such a bath works best after the skin brushing and use of a
loofah sponge. A tub is filled with warm to hot water and 4 or more cups of Epsom
salt are dissolved in it. This bath is quite relaxing and good for tense, sore muscles,
and may be taken as often as needed.
Every fourth night the cancer patient should be rubbed from head to toe with a
mixture of olive oil and castor oil in equal parts. Then a hot soaking bath should be
taken for 15 minutes to allow the oil to penetrate. This is followed by going to bed
under heavy covers for about one hour to sweat the poisons out. Then a cleansing
shower is taken. This may be discontinued after three months.
Irrigating the Nostrils
Salt-water irrigation of the nostrils is very helpful with nasal mucus and sinus
congestion alike. If one cannot breathe through the nose, he or she is bypassing a
crucial filtering mechanism which warms and humidifies the air, and which removes
large amounts of smoke and dust before this air reaches the back of one's throat.
Mouth breathing places incalculable stress on the lungs, nearly equivalent to that of
cigarette smoking if one lives in urban pollution.
99
Winning The Cancer War
To irrigate the nostrils, dissolve 1  teaspoon of sea salt in 16 ounces of warm water
in a bowl of appropriate size. While bending forward, block one nostril and place the
other below the water surface in the bowl. The water should be gently pulled up the
nostril until one can taste the salty mixture trickling to the back of the throat; then it
should be blown out. This should be repeated with the other nostril and alternated
several times.
Breathing Exercises
Breathing exercises should follow the cleansing of the nostrils. If done on a regular
basis, these yield tremendous benefits. They increase the body's supply of oxygen
(which is the basic currency for repair and for burning up toxins), step up the removal
of waste products and stagnant air from portions of the lungs otherwise unused, and
exercise the diaphragm — which serves as a pump for the flow of oxygen and nerve
energy.
Deep breathing yields a multitude of benefits through maximum use of lung
capacity.
Rapid breathing is an energizing exercise, which promotes flow of energy into the
lungs and digestive organs. It should be done before meals, after being in a stuffy
room, or whenever a lift is needed.
Alternate-nostril breathing has a calming effect on the nervous system. It can be
used effectively to overcome anxiety states and insomnia, and sometimes to relieve
headaches.
Breath is the external manifestation of our life force. It is our very life. We can live for
a while without food or drink, but not without breath.
Exercising
In almost every case of cancer, particularly those cases of long standing, the protein
from the muscles has been used to maintain life. In other words protein metabolism
has been so poor that the body had to take protein from the muscles and, to a very
great degree, the muscles have been consumed.
After the cancer is destroyed, the muscles begin to rebuild. This takes
approximately three years. If the muscles are exercised strenuously during this time a
hernia may develop. For this reason we have found it best to replace strenuous
exercise with a brisk walk at least once a day for three years following therapy.

everything seems all right, I worry about not knowing what will

This is the collective worry sheet of people in our culture. You can
give worry points to each of those that seem most applicable to you,
total it up, and no matter what your score, it still adds up to zero.
The following paragraph illustrates the extent of worry in our world.
It’s taken from a story in Newsday  (May 3, 1975) on hospital malprac-
tice insurance.
West Islip—Two officials of the Nassau-Suffolk Hospital
Council warned yesterday that those worrying  about the prob-
lems that the malpractice insurance crisis could create—if doc-
tors cease treating patients entirely or treat only emergency
cases—have not worried  quite enough.
Indeed, a call to spend more time worrying about a problem. How
could a story like this even appear? Because the cultural pressure is
to worry, rather than to do. If all of those concerned were to worry
a lot more, perhaps the problem would go away.THE USELESS EMOTIONS—GUILT AND WORRY  / 111In order to eliminate worry it is necessary to understand the why
behind it. If worry is a large part of your life, you can bet that it has
many historical antecedents. But what are the payoffs? They are
similar to the neurotic dividends that you receive for guilt, since
both worry and guilt are self-nullifying behaviors, that vary only in
a temporal sense. Guilt focuses on the past; worry on the future.
The Psychological Payoffs for Choosing Worry
• Worry is a present-moment activity. Thus, by using your current
life being immobilized over a future time in your life, you are able
to escape the now and whatever it is in the now that threatens you.
For example, I spent the summer of 1974 in Karamursel, Turkey,
teaching and writing a book on counseling. My seven-year-old
daughter was back in the United States with her mother. While I
love writing, I also find it an intensely lonely, difficult chore which
requires a great deal of self-discipline. I would sit down at my
typewriter with paper in place and the margins set, and all of a
sudden my thoughts would be back on little Tracy Lynn. What if
she rides her bicycle into the street and doesn’t look? I hope she’s
being watched at the swimming pool, because she has a tendency
to be careless. Before I knew it, an hour had elapsed, and I had spent
it worrying. This was all in vain of course. But, was it? As long as I
could use up my present moments worrying I didn’t have to struggle
with the difficulty of writing. A terrific payoff indeed.
• You can avoid having to take risks by using your worry as the
reason for immobility. How could you possibly act if you are preoc-
cupied with your present-moment worry? “I can’t do a thing, I’m
just too worried about———” This is a common lament, and one
with a payoff that keeps you standing still and avoiding the risk of
action.112 / Your Erroneous Zones• You can label yourself as a caring person  by worrying. Worry
proves that you are a good parent, good spouse, or good whatever.
A handsome dividend, although lacking in logical healthy thinking.
• Worry is a handy justification for certain self-defeating behavior.
If you’re overweight, you undoubtedly eat more when you worry,
hence you have a sensational reason for hanging on to the worry
behavior. Similarly, you find yourself smoking more in worrisome
situations, and can use the worry to avoid giving up smoking. This
same neurotic reward system applies to areas including marriage,
money, health and the like. The worry helps you to avoid changing.
It is easier to worry about chest pains than to take the risk of finding
out the truth, and then have to deal forthrightly with yourself.
• Your worry keeps you from living. A worrier sits around and
thinks about things, while a doer must be up and about. Worry is a
clever device to keep you inactive, and clearly it is easier, if less re-
warding, to worry, than to be an active, involved person.
• Worry can bring ulcers, hypertension, cramps, tension head-
aches, backaches and the like. While these may not seem to be pay-
offs, they do result in considerable attention from others and justify
much self-pity as well, and some people would rather be pitied than
fulfilled.
Now that you understand the psychological support system for
your worry, you can begin to devise some strategic efforts for getting
rid of the troublesome worry bugs that breed in this erroneous zone.
Some Strategies for Eliminating Worry
• Begin to view your present moments as times to live, rather than
to obsess about the future. When you catch yourself worry-THE USELESS EMOTIONS—GUILT AND WORRY  / 113ing, ask yourself, “What am I avoiding now by using up this moment
with worry?” Then begin to attack whatever it is you’re avoiding.
The best antidote to worry is action. A client of mine, formerly prone
to worry, told me of a recent triumph over it. At a vacation resort
he wandered into the sauna one afternoon. There he met a man who
couldn’t take a holiday from his worries. The other man elaborated
all of the things my client should be worrying about. He mentioned
the stock market, but said not to worry about short-range fluctu-
ations. In six months there would be a virtual collapse, and that was
the thing to really worry about. My client made sure of all the things
he should worry about, and then left. He played a one-hour game
of tennis, enjoyed a touch football game with some young children,
participated with his wife in a Ping-Pong match which they thor-
oughly enjoyed, and finally, some three hours later, returned for a
shower/sauna. His new friend was still there worrying, and began
once again to chronicle more things to worry about. Meantime, my
client had spent his present moments excitedly alive, while the other
man had consumed his in worry. And neither man’s behavior had
any effect on the stock market.
• Recognize the preposterousness of worry. Ask yourself over
and over, “Is there anything that will ever change as a result of my
worrying about it?”
• Give yourself shorter and shorter periods of “worry-time.”
Designate ten minutes in the morning and afternoon as your worry
segments. Use these periods to fret about every potential disaster
you can get into the time slot. Then, using your ability to control
your own thoughts, postpone any further worry until your next
designated “worry-time.” You’ll soon see the folly of using any time
in this wasteful fashion, and will eventually eliminate your worry
zone completely.
• Make a worry list of everything you worried about yesterday,
last week and even last year. See if any of your worry did anything
productive for you. Assess also how many of the114 / Your Erroneous Zonesthings you worried about ever materialized at all. You’ll soon see
that the worry is really a doubly wasteful activity. It does nothing
to alter the future. And the projected catastrophe often turns out to
be minor, or even a blessing when it arrives.
• Just Worry!  See if it is something that you can demonstrate when
you are tempted to worry. That is, stop and turn to someone and
say, “Watch me—I’m about to worry.” They’ll be confounded since
you probably won’t even know how to demonstrate the thing you
do so well, so often.
• Ask yourself this worry-eradicating question. “What’s the worst
thing that could happen to me (or them) and what is the likelihood
of it occurring?” You’ll discover the absurdity of worry in this way.
• Deliberately choose to act in some manner that is in direct con-
flict with your usual areas of worry. If you compulsively save for
the future, always worried about having enough money for another
day, begin to use your money today. Be like the rich uncle who put
in his will, “Being of sound mind, I spent all my money while I was
alive.”
• Begin to face the fears you possess with

vitality of the patient, local climate, the quantity of urine to be used,
the method of application, the diet before, during and after the
treatment etc., should be fully considered beforehand. The follower
of this treatment should be careful in his general behaviour also
because mental attitude also plays an important role in the physical
health.
A Treatment with Self-restraint: The accounts of the most of the
cases which I have received have one common purpose and that is
people want to survive somehow by whatever means it may be
possible. Moreover it has been our habit not to do anything
methodically or rationally. But this would not be allowed in this
treatment. otherwise it would bring discredit to this therapy. one
should not take up this treatment if one lacks inself-restraint,
moderation in food and lacks patience.
I have to put a question to such half-hearted patients who have
been benefited in sptie of their being unrestrained. But what woul~
they have said if the results were unfavourable? Would they have
boldly admitted that it was only due to their own faults that harrn
had been done to them? I ·do not think such would have been their·
reaction if the result was not good. Naturally persons with selfish
motives would have given an odd name to urine therapy to achieve
their own selfish ends. Hence I do not have the slightest hesitation

 CHAPTER  VIII.
A CASE  OF LEUCOCYTHAEMIA  OR LEUKAEMIA
(Splenic Anaemia)

That remarkable  naturopath,  the late Louis Kuhne, of Leipsic, declared
that disease was a unity, and  with trifling variations  should be always
treated in the same way. He maintained  that all diseases, no matter
what their names or sites, invariably  rise from  the same cause, viz., an
encumbrance  of foreign matter  in the body.  He said it was absurd to
treat an organ separately  (as specialists  often do) for, as goes without
saying, any organ or limb  is a part of the body, and  to think to cure  an
eye, an arm, a leg or what‐not merely  by treating it locally is the height
of pseudo scientific folly! If an eye is diseased,  there  is something  in the
body itself  which  is causing that disease. For instance, he gives the case
of a woman  who was going blind. He treated her whole body, ridding it
of its " cloggings,  " and  the eyetrouble  cleared up automatically.  She
had  suffered for years from bleeding piles;  the orthodox  physicians,
having finally operated on her. Soon afterwards  she started to lose her
sight. The safety‐valve  had been blocked up by this  measure,  the
operation,  declared Kuhne, and  the poisons went to her eyes. (See The
New  Science of Healing.)
Kuhne effected many remarkable  cures by his method, but would have
effected even a greater number  had  he known the value of urine as a
means of replacing wasted tissue. Yet he was right when he declared
that all diseases (except those caused by traumatism  or structual
defects) could be cured by one means, as I myself have demonstrated.  57
 The name of the disease is of merely academic  interest, and  has
nothing to do with the curing of it. All the same,  for the  sake of
convenience,  and to prove  this fact, I have advisedly  specified  the
diseases treated, and  will now give the case‐sheets relative to what is
termed Leucocythae  nia or Leukaemia.
The patient, Mr. P.C., was brought in a taxi to my house by two of my
"disciples.  " He was too ill to walk  into my room unsupported,  looked
very pale  and  wretched,  and altogether  was  obviously  in a very bad  a
state. His age was  48, he had  lost 4 stone in one year, and another
stone during some weeks of medical treatment.
After I had examined  him, I said in effect: "Mr. P.C., your condition  is
medically  tabulated  as leucocythaemia  or splenic anaemia, and
according  to the Medical Profession,  you have but three months to live.
Your disease has been brought  about by an ill balanced,  denatured  diet.
None the less you can be saved by fasting and urine‐therapy."  I went on
to explain the details.  Then he told me his story. The gist of it was as
follows
Shortly before Easter  of that year (1927) he had  developed  a cold, for
which  he had "doctored"  himself. By the Good  Friday, his condition  had
been such that his wife and  his brother  had  become alarmed and  sent
for a young physician  who had  diagnosed  high  bloodpressure.  On a
second  examination  the following  day,  however,  he had said it was not
high  blood‐ pressure  after all, and  that he had  found  traces of other
symptoms,  which  he did not particularise.  A specialist was then called
in. He examined  the patient, pointed  out the region of the swollen
spleen to the general practitionerand  diagnosed  the case  as 58
 leucocythaemia.  Mr. P.C. was then informed  that the disease was rare
in England, and asked if he had ever been to the East or the Tropics? His
relatives were told that the malady always proved fatal, but that the
patient might live from three  to six months  if given deep X‐ray
treatment,  drugs, and  a series of injections.  (No mention was made of
diet, except that liver would be good for the patient.) Mr. P.C.
accordingly  attended at the local  infirmary,  where  he was examined  at
various times by the visiting physicians,  who became  interested  in him
as "a somewhat  rare  specimen."  All of them were unanimous  as to the
name of the disease and  the length of time the patient had  still to live.
His blood  was tested by the staff pathologist  and  registered  at 556,000
more  white  corpuscles  than red ones per cubic millimeter.
