Getting Started
10 Ways To Be Successful
A
s you prepare to use the information presented in this book, here is an
overview. This is what it takes to be successful. These ten principles or
recommendations will help you tremendously in achieving success and the
health and vitality you want from your detoxification and regeneration
process. These points will be covered in depth as you continue to work with
this book.
1. The diet is your number one key to success. What you eat, drink,
breathe and what you put on your skin is how you bring the outside
world in. Study and learn the concepts in this book about a raw food
diet. The greater percentage of raw fruits and vegetables (salads) you
eat, the greater your success will be. If you have cancer, a spinal cord
injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s or any other chronic or
degenerative condition, you will want to consume a 100 percent raw,
“live” food diet of fruits and vegetables (salads) only.
2. Invite the help of a healthcare professional who has experience in the
use of raw foods and other natural detoxification procedures, like
fasting. Especially with illnesses like cancer and other chronic,
degenerative conditions, it is beneficial to have guidance and support
throughout your healing process. Ultimately you are responsible for
yourself, but there are many valuable resources to assist you in
making this journey into vibrant health.
3. Find someone who is adept at “reading” the iris of the eye (a science
known as iridology).
This is one of nature’s greatest and, at present,
only types of soft tissue analysis. It will give you a road map of your
strengths and weaknesses. It will also indicate your congestive(lymphatic) and chemical accumulations. This is invaluable in
helping you to address your glandular or organ weaknesses. For this
I recommend an herbal (formula) program. Use herbs to address
your cellular weaknesses and to move and clean your lymphatic
system, GI tract, and lungs. (See Resource Guide for herbal
companies that supply such formulas.)
Almost 100 percent of homo sapiens have glandular weaknesses.
Begin this process by taking the “What Is Your Body Telling You” Self-
Assessment Questionnaire found in Chapter 5 to determine yours.
Use the Basal Temperature Study Test (found in
Appendix A
) for
thyroid function to determine your level of thyroid function. This is
extremely important when considering calcium utilization and
metabolism.
If you have high or especially low blood pressure, you know you
have adrenal gland weakness. Again, check your Self-Assessment
Questionnaire to determine other side effects of adrenal gland
weaknesses.
4. Always “move” your lymph system. Everyone has a stagnant lymph
system to one degree or another. All your cells need to eat and
excrete, and your lymph system is your sewer system. Your lymph
nodes are your septic tanks. Keep them cleaned out! Use an herbal
formula for your kidneys and eat lots of fruits. Clean and enhance
your GI tract with raw foods and a restorative intestinal herbal
formula. Avoid laxatives or purgatives, acidophilus, bifidophilus, or
any other intestinal flora. Your intestinal flora will restore itself.
Exercise (like walking or swimming) is extremely important in
moving your lymph system, especially in your lower extremities.
Let yourself sweat! Your skin is your largest eliminative organ. Keep
it clean and stimulated with skin brushing, regular as well as hot-and-cold
showers, and by sweating.
5. You will want to spend a month on an herbal parasite formula (see
Resource Guide at the back of this book to find excellent herbal
companies that carry these). This will help get rid of the larger
worms, flukes, etc. It will also help reduce your microorganisms
(candida, bacterias, etc.) that affect your desire for foods.
6. Clean your liver and enhance your pancreas for about a month or so
before starting on your detoxification program.
See Chapter 8
 forsuggestions about supporting and cleansing these organs with herbs
and herbal formulas. If you have diabetes or you’re excessively thin
you will probably need three months or so.
7. If you’re on chemical medications, don’t worry. There are very few
possible interactions with this program and these herbal formulas. If
you’re on high blood pressure medication, simply watch your blood
pressure. This program can bring down your blood pressure fast.
Use common sense. If your blood pressure is low, lowering it further
with chemical meds might not be too smart.
If your blood pressure is
low, you must work to get it normalized by enhancing and
regenerating your adrenal glands. Diabetes (Type II) is very easy to
overcome in most cases. If you’re on insulin, watch your blood
sugars. The same principle applies as with high blood pressure.
SCIENTIFIC FACTS
Most chemicals weaken and destroy cells. Chemotherapy causes high acidosis
and destroys cells causing future cancer or the spreading (metastasis) of
cancer.
Radiation inflames, burns and destroys cells (tissues), and can cause cancer to
metastasize.

9. As you detoxify and regenerate, your body will go through symptoms
of a “healing crisis.” This is normal, natural and positive. As you
understand about the healing crisis you’ll understand what “diseases”
truly are. See Chapter 5. Remember, disease symptoms manifest
from two sources—congestion and cellular weakness.
10. Finally: Attitude, attitude, attitude! Enjoy what you’re doing. Always
remember why you’re getting your body (or physical vehicle)
healthy. Your body is your mobility in this physical world. Many of
your weaknesses are genetically passed to you. Your toxicity may
have developed in utero, so give it time to be released. Vibrant health
in this world does not occur overnight. Sometimes it’s hard work—
but well worth it. It connects you with life, love and God.
May the blessings be!CHAPTER ONE
Understanding Our Species
I
am constantly being asked what my secrets are for regenerating and making
the physical body vital again. There have been hundreds of books written
about health and nutrition, most of which are variations on other people’s
hypotheses or old ideas, which never seem to change. Some are plainly
foolish. On the shelves of your local bookstore you will find books on blood
types, mega-dosing with vitamins and minerals, high protein diets, and the
like. Some of these programs are highly toxic to the body, in my experience,
and actually kill many people each year.
I think health is much less complex than these books indicate. My
approach is simply:
Eat the foods that are biologically suited for your
species
. This might seem to be oversimplified or plain confusing, but let’s
take a moment to explore and determine just what type of species we are.
Imagine yourself standing somewhere in the plains or jungles of Africa.
Look out over a vast landscape and see elephants, giraffes, deer, hippos,
silverback apes, chimpanzees, snakes, birds of all kinds, lions, cheetahs, and
many other animals. Now if I ask you one simple question: “Which of these
animals do we ‘homosapiens’ look like?” which one would you pick? The
primates, of course. These are frugivores, as we are. Now some might say
that this is far too simplistic a comparison on which to build our case. Okay
then let’s kill (I would never) one animal from each species and bring them
back to the lab. Let’s dissect each animal and look at its anatomy and
physiology to determine which one we humans most resemble, internally.
The list that follows designates the four classes of vertebrates (carnivores,
omnivores, herbivores and frugivores), highlighting the differences among
them.

 oath  and  attended  once,  not a thing  in the
world  could  ever  get them  to return  to another  meeting.
Dear  Ones,  if you  care  to follow  Us, We will  from  time  to
time,  prompt  you  to keep  yourselves  Free  from  the clutches
of such  things.
We have  urged  the people  to keep  away  from  all things
psychic,  spiritualistic,  astrology,  numerology  and  all those
things  which  breed  and  breathe  limitations  into  your
world!  If you  do not care  to listen  to Us and  then  you  ex-
perience  unhappiness,  remember  We tried  to help  you!  We
don't  say what  you  shall  do! If you  insist  on going  on with
the things  which  limit  and  distress  you,  well  Who  are We
to say you  should  not!  You  are Beings  of Free  Will.  We
want  to help  you,  but We cannot  do it, if you  do not want
Us to. We certainly  would  not intrude  into  your  world  in
the physical,  any  more  than  We  would  intrude  into  your
physical  home  without  your  invitation;  or your  friends  in
the physical  world  would.  Oh,  now  and  then  one  would,
but most  of them  would  not intrude,  without  your  invita-
tion.
If you  do not want  something  undesirable  in your  home,
do not invite  it! There  are many  ways  of invitation.  You 332 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
can by the feeling,  invite  a thing!  You  can by the intellect,
invite  a thing;  and  you  can by taking  your  physical  body
into an environment  of the thing,  invite  it. You  know  the
old statement—"Certain  of mankind  rush  in where  angels
fear to tread."  That  is constantly  going  on among  mankind.
Would  you,  if you  saw  a building  in your  city  where
every  immoral  or destructive  force  and  action  was  going
on, deliberately  walk  into  it? Not  if you  were  wise.  I say
this to you,  as students,  knowing  the Power  and  Protection
of your  Presence.
It is just  the same  as you,  in your  calling  forth  the Pres-
ence  and  issuing  your  Mighty  Decrees.  If you  do not bal-
ance  that  by Self-control  in your  feeling  world;  you  are not
going  to get the results  you  desire.  Just  because  you  issue
your  Decrees  and  call  the Powers  of the Presence  forth,  it
does  not mean,  you  will  have  Perfection.  You  must  make
some  effort  at Self-control,  in order  to balance  the condition
of the Powers  which  you  are calling  forth;  because  they
grow  greater  and  the energy  grows  more  powerful.  Won't
you see that ?
One thing,  I want  to say so very  much,  tonight,  to the
young  people  here  and  to the young  people  everywhere:
"When  you  come  to know  your  Great  Presence  of Life;
and you  begin  to feel  Its Great  Power  surging  forth  in Its
expression  of Divine  Love  do not interpret  it as falling  in
Love.  If you  have  felt or experienced  inharmony  in your
home  or your  associates;  then  you  find  some  person  with
whom  you  feel  very  harmonious  always  be careful  and  do DISCOURSE  XXII  333
not interpret  it, as humanly  falling  in Love.  That  is perhaps
the greatest  danger  among  the  students  today.  We  have
seen  a number  succumb  to it. Stand  guard,  Beloved  Ones!
You can  love  just  as greatly  without  caressing  each  other,
as you  can  by holding  each  other  in your  arms.  That  is
where  mankind's  danger  is today.
The outer  world  has taught  Individuals,  the very  things
which  release  the pent  up feeling  of all mankind.  It rushes
forth  and  is uncontrollable;  but when  you  understand  how
to govern  and  guard  the feeling  of kindliness  and  harmony
which  goes  forth,  you  make  it a blessing  to others.  Then  you
will never  fall a prey  to the sinister  force,  by the Out-pour-
ing of your  Divine  Love  to another.  Remember!  This  is
very  vital!  We want  to forestall  all of these  things.
Remember!  The  need  has been  so great  for the Protection
of America;  and  all so urgent,  the Messengers  have  not had
time  to take  up these  many  things,  except  occasionally.  So
when  We call  it to your  attention,  just  make  a note  of it if
necessary;  so you keep  yourselves  reminded  of this  particu-
lar activity.  It means  everything  to you!
IF IN YOUR  ENDEAVOR  TO  POUR  FORTH  DI-
VINE  LOVE,  IT BECOMES  QUALIFIED  AS HUMAN
DESIRE,  THEN  YOU  HAVE  WASTED  YOUR  TIME
AND  ENERGY  AND  MUST  START  ALL  OVER
AGAIN.  Use  this  for an illustration,  if you  like.  I am
flashing  These  Words  to the Messenger.  My  Out-pouring
of Divine  Love  to you,  so far transcends  anything  you  are
yet aware  of, there  is no comparison;  but  could  any  one 334 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
qualify  My Love  in any  way  with  the human ? This  is the
way mankind  should  feel  to each  other.
I SAY  TO YOU,  GENTLEMEN,  IF THERE  BE ANY
ONE  OF  YOU,  WHO  CANNOT  LOOK  UPON
WOMEN  WITH  A CLEAN  AND  PURE  DESIRE,
THEN  YOU  HAVE  MISSED  THE  GREATEST
BLESSING  LIFE  HOLDS  FOR  YOU.  LADIES,  IF
YOU  CANNOT  DO  THE  SAME  THING—IF  YOU
CANNOT  LOOK  UPON  MEN  WITHOUT  THE
HUMAN  DESIRE,  THEN  YOU  TOO  HAVE  MISSED
THE  GREATEST  JOY  AND  BLESSING  OF  LIFE.
WHEN  YOU  COME  TOWARD  THE  GOAL  OF  AT-
TAINMENT,  ALL  HUMAN  DESIRE  DOES  CEASE
TO BE.  Replacing  it comes  the Greatest  Power  of Divine
Order,  producing  Divine  Happiness,  producing  Perfect  Ac-
tion and  Direction  of the  Forces  of Life  and  Love  thru
your  Being.  That  is why  Self-control  in all things,  is neces-
sary!
THERE  IS LOVE,  WISDOM  AND  POWER  IN THE
TRIANGLE  OF  LIFE.  IF YOU  TRY  TO  USE  ONE
POINT  OF  THE  TRIANGLE  OF  LIFE  WITHOUT
BALANCING  WITH  THE  OTHER  TWO,  YOU  ARE
GOING  TO  HAVE  DISTRESS,  FOR  LIFE  IS BAL-
ANCE!  LIFE  OUT  OF  BALANCE  MEANS  SUFFER-
ING!  IF YOU  USE  POWER  WITHOUT  WISDOM
TO GOVERN  IT  AND  LOVE  TO  TEMPER  IT,
EVERYONE  WILL  FEAR  YOU  AND  SOON  YOU
WOULD  NOT  HAVE  A FRIEND!  IF YOU  USE  THE DISCOURSE  XXII  335
POWER  OF  LOVE  POURING  FORTH  WITHOUT
WISDOM  TO  GOVERN  IT,  THEN  IT BECOMES
HUMAN;  OR  BECOMES  HUMANLY  QUALIFIED
AND  THEREFORE  MISUNDERSTOOD.

 a little more. Those of you who have recently found this raging
battle within yourselves will know exactly what I am talking about.
Others, who have not yet recognized their self-rejection, will have to
come to this awareness gradually. Perhaps the only way you can
now recognize your self-dislike and your undervaluation of yourself
will be an indirect one. You can certainly sense shyness,
uncertainty, insecurity, apprehension about being rejected or
criticized, as well as feelings  of inferiority and inadequacy. Perhaps
you may perceive here or there a peculiar guilt feeling that makes
no sense to you. Although this guilt usually hides behind other
attitudes, it is rarely so remote that it cannot be clearly perceived attimes, once you set out to detect such things. Perhaps you are aware
that you are not open to the untold possibilities of blissful
fulllment in life; that you make do with much less than you could
experience. Perhaps you can discern that you stand back in life and
feel vaguely undeserving and perceive your own possibilities
negatively at least in certain areas of your life.
All these manifestations indicate self-rejection, self-dislike. It
should not be too dicult  to bridge the gap in consciousness
between any of these manifestations with the more profound root,
namely that you do not think much of yourself. You may dislike
yourself for some traits and attitudes, but this specicity may be
even more hidden from your awareness. It is quite possible that you
can rst ascertain only the vague general feelings of self-disdain,
without being  able to pinpoint the specic traits you dislike in
yourself.
Once you feel, however vaguely, that you do not respect yourself
and lack esteem  and appreciation for yourself as a human being, the
next step must be to make this attitude more specic. If you really
want to nd it, you will do so, although the recognition of exactly
what this attitu de is may come quite indirectly. This is the way the
path often works.
On the other hand, you may see something quite clearly in
yourself that is truly regrettable and undesirable. Then you may fall
into the erroneous attitude of deance and self-justication, because
you believe that admitting your undesirable traits means that you
must dislike and reject your entire self. You fail to dierentiate
between reject ing a trait and rejecting the person, whether yourself
or others. Therefore you fall into the error of justifying, denying,
falsifying, and rationalizing— and often even beautifyin g—a very
undesirable and destructive trait. Here you have the full-edged
confusion!
What Brings Self-Respect?Here is how to nd the key that will enable you to squarely
confront the undesirable attitudes, without in the least losing
respect for yourself or losing the sense that you are a valuable
human being. First, you have to perceive and experience life in a
new way. Your life—and you are life because you are alive—
represents all life, all nature. One of the earmarks of life is its untold
potential for change and expansion. To be more specic: Once you
perceive life as it is, you will sense that even the lowliest of all
destructive creatures has every possibility for change and for
goodness, for greatness, and for growth. At any moment, the
thinking may change and create new attitudes and behavior, new
feelings, new ways of being. And if these do not happen now, that
alters nothing, for one day things are bound to change and then
your true nature must nally  emerge. The knowledge of one’s true
nature having to emerge sooner or later changes everything: It
changes your despair about yourself. It opens the door to knowing
your potential for goodness, regardless of how maliciou s you now
may be; for generosity, regardless of how mean you may now be; for
loving, regardl ess of how selsh you now may be; for strength and
integrity, regardless of how weak you may now be and how tempted
to betray your best self; for greatness, regardless of how petty you
may now be.
Look at nature, at any manifestation of life, and it is forever
changing; it is forever dying and being reborn; it is forever
expanding and contracting and pulsating. It is always moving and
branching out. This applies particularly to life that is conscious, and
even more so to life that is self-conscious, The power of thought, of
will, of emotions is innitely greater than any inanimate power.
And yet, the inanimate power of, say, electricity, and even more of
atomic energy, is so great that you have barely begun to gain an
inkling of its possibilities both for good and constructive,  as well as
for destructive, ends. Wherever there is life and consciousness, both
these possibilities exist.
Using the Power of the Conscious Mindg f
Now, if in the smallest atom —so small that it cannot even be
perceived with the naked eye—a power exists to release untold
energies for building or destroying, how innitely more is this the
case with the power of the mind: the power of thinking, feeling, and
willing. Just dwell on this signicant fact, my friends, and it will
open new vistas to you. Why do you blindly assume that the power
of inanimate things is greater than the power of the mind?
The powers to think, will, feel, express, act, and decide  are the
earmarks of consciousness. They are vastly underrated by humanity.
Living consciou sness therefore deserves a respect that can hardly be
put into words. It does not matter how it manifests; no matter how
undesirable and destructive the present manifestation may be, the
life that issues from the momentary destructiveness holds all the
potential for turning into constructive channels, for life’s source is
truly inexhaustible.
Since the very essence of life is movement, and therefore change,
this is what justiably and realistically gives hope, no matter how
hopeless a situation or a state of mind may appear. People in deep
depression and hopelessness must be in error, for they negate the
very essence of life. And those who despair about themselves
because they feel they are so bad, so unacceptable, so destructive, so
negative, nd themselves in the error of perceiving and
experiencing life in a xed way, as though what is now must always
be. This is the error of deadness: “This is so, and that is all there is
to it.” Such thinking ignores and negates the ux of true life. Since
you are alive, this uidity is yours; in reality you are uid.
The only thing that keeps you from being uid, and therefore
changing into a state of realistic hopefulness and light, into the
essence of life itself, is your own enclosure, your ignora nce of this
truth—your momentary state of consciousness. This state of
consciousness is now xed in the conviction that life and your
personality traits are static and must remain that way. Your state of
consciousness remains xed in this dark imprisonment as long as
you know nothing else.
You have the possibility of applying these words to your personal
situation. Where are you hopeless? Why are you hopeless? Do youfeel hopeless because of life itself? Because you believe the
possibilities for expansion and happiness are too limited to give you
sucient scope? Are you hopeless because you feel you do not
deserve and cannot have a more meaningful, fullled experience of
life? The latter thought may smolder secretly beneath your
perception of life’s limitations.
If you can bring these eeting impressions into more  concise
awareness, you can ask yourself: “Am I hopeless about deserving
happiness because I, possibly quite justiably, dislike certain traits
in me?”  But don’t you then also believe that these traits mark and
dene your person. That is the great struggle, my friends: You
erroneously believe that what is most obnoxious to you is you. This,
at the same time, is the cause  for the great resistance, inherent in all
human beings, against chang ing. For, since you do not believe that
you can essentially be anythi ng else but that which you dislike, you
have to hold on to it nevertheless, because you do not wish to cease
existing. That is the crux of this dualistic confusion. This is why you
so inexplicably hold on to destructive traits.
You hold on because you genuinely believe this is you; you are in
a xed state, and any change is impossible because you do not
realize that all possibilities exist in you. You are already what you
think you would have to produce articially, laboriously, and
through forcib ly contorting your very nature. But since you will not
believe this, you cannot give up holding on to the very facets you so
dislike, for they seem to represent your essence.
This is indeed a vicious circle, for true self-esteem can, of course,
come only by your sensing your capacity to love, to give of yourself.
Yet this capaci ty cannot be known when you take it for granted that
it simply does not exist


 of the mind is an ongoing adventure. It is a journe y of
releasing false images, identity associations, and self-c oncepts.
Situations and encounters in your life will act out anything that you have
pushed out of awareness, but you are opening up to and approaching a
state of all-inclusion, a state of nonattachment and nonaf filiation, a state
of stillness.
The Holy Spirit flows through you with loving acceptance for the
whole universe in this state. This communion with Spirit can still involve
words, but mostly you will know it as a presence of love that casts out all
fear. It is an experience that leads you to say that you’ve never met a
stranger. All the things that seem to be sticking points become irrelevant
—including those around religion. The experience of religion becomes
an experience of peace of mind.  Hindu, Muslim, or Christian—it doesn’ t
matter because peace is an experience that literally transcend s all the
theologies and all the concepts.
In this freedom is a feeling of Home. It’s a presence of being Home.
It’s a state where Heaven and Earth cease to exist as separate states.
Heaven is here, and it is now. That’ s what makes it a happy state; it’s not
a future  state. It’s not somethi ng that you hope and wish for. It’s an
actual state. Traveling around the world and meeting people from
different cultures with different languages and traditions has been a treat
for me. It’s a divine fiesta. It’s an ongoing party because there is no point
to be made or proven.
That’ s the fun of it! There is absolutely no point. When people say
to me, “What’ s the point of this world?” I say, “Really, there is no point.”
God’ s will for us is perfect happiness, so if you really had to come up
with something like a point or a purpose, it would have to be happiness.
We align our mind to the purpose of the Holy Spirit and that brings
peace and happiness. The light of the Holy Spirit simply is. When the
resistance to peace has been removed, the light shines unobstructed in
awareness.When we take this journey with the Holy Spirit, we are not lacking
at all and therefo re don’t want for anything. The first line of the twenty-
third Psalm is “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” This line
seems to contain everything because it explains the feeling of fulfilment
where in every moment, every thing is given. Everything is in divine
order. Everything is perfect. Nothing is lacking. So, there is no sense of
ambition, of trying to strive for something, and you don’t have any
future goals. Contentment is the pervasive feeling of fulfilment where
the world need be no different than it is. No situation that you perceive
need be dif ferent than it is.
The whole journey of healing and awakening is contained in the
forgiveness process. Enlightenment, or to know thyself, is the
completion of this process. Enlightenment is at the top of the mountain;
it is at the pinnacle of this whole effort. At this point, the Holy Spirit
ceases to be a messenger or a bridge. The Holy Spirit is no longer an
agent or a necessary communication link, as we are one. We are Spirit,
one with God.
After reading this book and doing the exercises, you may have now
found that you can trust that there is one real purpose for everything,
which results in pure joy and peace of mind. This is the mystical
experience of healing and awakening. There are no consequences to
letting go of illusions, only a glorious experience of what is real and
what is natural in this very moment. Go through the void and come into
the allness of being! The means is the miracle!
Now, you are free to arise in joy for dramas and games have ended!
Never need they be summoned  again into awareness. Be glad for their
passing and remember the gift that forgiveness offered. The blanket of
peace softly spreads across the Earth, and you rest in a tranquil mind that
remains invulnerable forever.
For a miracle is now.
It stands alr eady her e,
in pr esent grace,
within the only interval of timethat sin and fear have overlooked,
but which is all ther e is to time.

and operate from, bridging the gap of separation in our disconnected hearts and minds
and allowing us to remember our true identity as Divine Spirit. For a thorough

. Put in a cool place and let stand over night. Then add a
small quantity of rich, warm milk, about two hours before
serving; warm and serve with thick cream.

KRAUT.
Shred or chop fine selected white cabbage. Pack a layer
in bottom of deep stone or wooden vessel. Add a light layer
of salt. Alternate layers of ca bbage and salt until the vessel is
filled, using about one scant cup of salt to,an ordinary
cabbage. Pack down very hard, placing on the top a heavy
weight, so as to keep the cabbage beneath the brine. Cover
with heavy linen cloth, which should be washed thoroughly every day for about two weeks. Soak in cold water a few
minutes before serving.
FLESH FOODS.

FLESH  foods and sea foods have become the second most
important article of diet among all civilized people. This is
due very largely to preparation —to cooking. The adoption of
uncooked food will bring both the body and the appetite to a
state of normality which will naturally and gradually abolish
all flesh as food, but in order to pay the proper respect to the
laws of heredity and environm ent and aid the beginner in
taking the kinks of custom out of his daily habits, we give
below a few flesh food recipes.

BEEFSTEAK A LA TARTAR.
 Steak,   Salt,
 Onions,   Green Peppers,
 Pepper,   Parsley,
Eggs.
Take a porterhouse or sirloin steak of the size desired.
Grind very fine. Mix with minced onion, pepper and salt.
Mound up on a small platter, ma ke a depression in the top in
which put the unbroken yolk of an egg. Garnish with green
pepper and parsley, and serve.

CHIPPED BEEF IN CREAM.
Shave dried beef very fine. Pour over it warm water and
let stand for a few minutes. Pour this off and pour on thick
cream with a little parsley choppe d fine. Garnish with parsley
and serve.

CLAMS AND OYSTERS.
These articles do not possess any very great food
properties and when taken uncooked they are more
nourishing and less harmful. They should never be eaten with
catsup, vinegar, horseradish or sauces.

DRIED AND SMOKED FISH.
Herring, anchovias, smoked salmon or any dried fish can
be made quite palatable by seasoning thoroughly and soaking
5 to 10  minutes in very warm water.
EGGS.

EGGS constitute a very important article of food. They
contain about 14 per cent. protein, 10 per cent. fat, 1 per cent.
mineral salts, 73 per cent. water, and give to the body about
725 calories of heat to the pound. Their heat producing power
and nutritive elements are well balanced, showing that they
are a substantial food. An egg sh ould never be cooked. In its
natural state it is easily dissolved and readily taken up by all
the organs of digestion, but the cooked egg must be brought
back to liquid form before it can  be digested, which puts extra
and unnecessary labor upon these over-worked organs.

FRUIT EGG-NOG.
Beat one raw egg quite stiff. Add one-half glass grape
juice, beat well. Then add one-half glass of cream. Beat
thoroughly and use at once. This is a full meal for an invalid.

FAMILY EGG-NOG.
Two eggs stiffly beaten stirred into one quart of rich
milk. A little grated nutmeg, or a spoonful of fruit juice and
whipped cream added to the egg-nog will improve the taste
very materially.

EGGS PLAIN.
Eggs can be taken by breaking them one at a time into a
glass and swallowing them whole. Four or five eggs used in
this manner constitute a good and healthful meal, and are
especially recommended for those desiring to gain in flesh.

BEATEN EGGS.
Two eggs lightly beaten, to which may be added a little
lemon juice and cream, make an  excellent beverage—one that
combines with all other foods.

WHIPPED EGGS.
Break into a small soup bowl two or three eggs. Whip to
a froth. Add to this any fruit juice desired. This should be
eaten with other foods which require mastication.

EGG CREAM.
Whip the whites of two eggs until quite stiff, adding to
this one glass of rich milk for a beverage.
Cream can be used instead of milk, whipped lightly with
the eggs, which makes a most delicious cream to use over
fruits.
Note:—The whites of eggs mixed with cream or rich
milk make one of the most nourishing and easily assimilated
foods known. It is especially recommended for those
suffering from rheumatism or stiffness and sluggishness when arising in the morning. It is also recommended to those
desiring to gain in weight. From one to two dozen eggs can
be taken daily, together with two to three quarts of milk.

ORANGE EGG.
Separate the white and yolk, whipping each to a stiff
froth, add slowly to the yolk the juice of one sweet orange
whipping continuously, then add the beaten white, whipping
it all to a creamy froth.
The proportion is one medium size orange to each egg.
Serve as egg-nogg.
CEREALS.

THE popular belief is that cereals cannot be eaten without
cooking. This opinion is the result of following precedent,—
of accepting "that which is as true." Cereals are best just
before they have ripened and hardened, when they are soft
and full of water. This condition can be partially brought
about again by soaking them in pure water or milk. The
common theory that the stomach is unable to digest uncooked
cereal starch is altogether wrong, as can be easily
demonstrated by any one who will thoroughly masticate the
uncooked cereal. Making the cook stove do what the stomach
ought to do is depriving this member of its rights and its
exercise,—depriving it of what nature intended it to do, and
the penalty is weakness, just as it would be with any other
unused part of the anatomy.

OAT GROATS.
Take quantity sufficient for two or three days, soak seven
or eight hours in lukewarm water, or until sufficiently
softened, drain thoroughly, and serve with thick cream. Salt a
little if desired. A dash of grated nuts may be added, which
will make a most palatable dish and add much to their value
and vitalizing properties.

WHOLE WHEAT.
Put quantity desired for use in a deep vessel, and cover
with warm water. Keep in a warm place. Allow to stand
twenty-four hours and longer if desired very soft. Drain
thoroughly. It will be found suffi ciently softened to be easily
masticated and eaten with nuts. This makes probably the most
nutritious dish of all the cereal family. A very little salt may
be added.

FLAKED OATS OR FLAKED WHEAT.
Put an amount sufficient for several days' supply into a
deep vessel. Add enough warm water to hardly cover. After
standing a few hours stir well, so as to thoroughly moisten the
top portion. This in a short tim e will be found ready for use.
A very little salt can be used. This can be served with cream,
strained honey, ground nuts, or any two of these or a
combination of all.

FLAKED WHEAT DRY.
Flaked wheat is a most delicious dish served dry and
eaten with either cream, olive oil or honey.

CHRISTIAN'S COMBINATION CEREAL.
This is a combination of several Cereals, especially
prepared and so proportioned as to level or balance all the
nutritive elements contained in grains. It can be used and prepared the same as flaked oats of
wheat.

UNFIRED BREAD.
Bread forms a very important part of the uncooked menu,
but its production is not practical in the home where this book
is intended to be of greatest use, as it requires special
machinery for flaking and grinding the different grains and
nuts of which it is made. It also requires a special electric
light oven for drying during the winter when the rays of the
sun cannot be utilized.
Note:—It has recently been shown by experiments made
in Washington that both the light and heat from the
incandescent electric lamp contain nearly all the properties of
sunlight and will delegate to  vegetation an abundance of
chlorophyl (green) the same as natural sunshine.
To meet conditions that exist we make an exception here
and give two recipes for bread that requires cooking, but is
unfermented.

UNLEAVENED GEMS.
Put three cups of whole wheat flour in a bowl or pan, two
cups full of ice cold water, a little salt, and a table-spoonful of
melted butter or cream. Beat a nd stir. Take up on a spoon and

 lost a relationship. Let’s use that situation just for the
sake of this illustrat ion. You can take your own actual situation and apply to it the same
formula we’re going to use here.
Okay, now let’s say that it was the other person in your relationship who ended it. The
moment that person walked out the door for the last time, your min d started working.
First, your Human Brain searched all past data. It analyzed every other time in your life
when you felt left, deserted, abandoned. It brought up all the data —Judged Data and
Factual Data —from those prior experiences (including the time y our mother left you in the
crib and walked out of the room and you didn’t know when she was coming back) and
compared the information.
Now here is something you should know. It is the negatively Judged Past Data to which
your mind will pay the most attention —because it is this data that your ego, which is the
Here and Now operative of the mind, does not want to experience again.
So your b rain looked at this negatively Judged Past Data, added it to the Present Data,
and, mixing these data together, birthed a thought that created an emotion that it thinks
serves  you. Namely: deep sadness. This dropped you lower on the Pyramid of Being, movin g
you from Observed Reality to Distorted Reality. In short, you feel terrible.
As I’ve described, even if you’ve never, ever been rejected or abandoned before, others
have, and so you will still have a basis in negatively Judged Past Data for creating thou ght
and emotion. It will simply be someone else’s  negatively Judged Past Data —the cellular
memories of your species, brought forward by your Reptilian Brain. From this you could, if
you are not careful, produce an instinctive reaction.
And now, yet one mor e possibility, yet one more question: What if you have  had a
previous experience closely resembling your present experience, and your previous
experience was good?  What if the Judged Past Data that resembles Present Data holds good
news? (Remember, not all  Judged Past Data is negative data. Some of your previous
experiences could have been judged to be quite positive.)
So now, what if your Judged Past Data tells you, Don’t worry. You’ve been through this
before. Everything’s going to be alright... ? That  would surely alter your here -and-now
experience of the change that is presently occurring, yes? That would eliminate negative
emotions, and produce a positive experience, right?
Well, it could  do that... if we all learned  from our “good” Judged Past Da ta. But there’s
something almost insidious that happens. The mind may bring up this positive data, but it
will pay little attention to it. It’s almost as if that good stuff never even happened.
Remember, your mind will always pay primary attention to “bad”  past data, and scarce
attention to “good” past data, because this is the mind’s job. Your mind has been
programmed to do this, in order to ensure your safety and survival.
In this sense it could be said that “good news is no news.”
Are you getting this? A re you hearing this? This is really important, because it explains
why in so many situations the first thing many people think about is what could go wrong,
the first thing they focus on is how bad things are, the first thing they tell themselves is,
what a bummer!
Wouldn’t it be nice if this trend could be reversed? Wouldn’t it be nice if in most
situations the first thing most people think about is what could go right, the first thing they
focus on is how good things are, and the first thing they tell the mselves is what an
opportunity?
Some people have a hard time with this. They don’t understand how someone can see
life as being so wonderful when they see life as being so difficult. My father told me from
the time I was nine, “Son, get your head out of th e clouds.” And when friends see me
downplaying or simply ignoring the possibility of bad outcomes, they have been known to
say, “What, are you out of your mind? ” And my answer is, YES!!!
In order to experience life the way I am telling you that you can exp erience it, you’ve got
to be OUT... OF... YOUR... MIND.
At least, for a while. At least until you have come to a really good understanding of how
the mind works, of the Mechanics of the Mind, and of how you can change your truth in
order to change  your thought in order to change your emotion in order to change your
experience in order to alter your reality of the event that is occurring in your life!
So, give yourself permission to Think Twice about what is occurring. Stay in the moment
of Now, as Eckart Tolle would advise, and by so doing, raise your awareness from the
Imagined Truth to the readily Apparent Truth.
If you can do that, you may come to a whole new conclusion about all that is going on.
Let’s see. Let’s just see what happens when using  this technique in our “make believe”
example of your relationship having ended.
Looking at how you’re feeling, you may be aware that you’ve created the following
Distorted Reality:
I’ve been abandoned/Now I’m all alone again/This is really bad/I’ve been u njusted/I can’t
live without this person/I’ll never be happy again/It was unfair the way it ended/I’m hurt and
I will never forgive....
Now —as you Think Twice —you are invited to consider an extraordinary question. One
single question that can change you r world. One inquiry that can change your emotion by
changing your thought by changing the truth behind that thought.
Here is the Life Altering Question:
IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE REALITY I AM EXPERIENCING IS NOT REAL?
At first this question might seem gratuitous and silly. You certainly know how you’re
feeling. You certainly know what is so. Your mind will argue with you if you try to squiggle
out of the experience you’re now having. Open your eyes and look around!  it will scream.
You’re abandoned! You’re all alone again! That person’s gone! GONE! You’re going to be sad!
You’re going to be miserable! This is horrible!
But if you have the courage to keep asking the Life Altering Question, eventually your
mind will stop ar guing with you and will at least look at all this again. It will Think Twice.
Quietly and without judgment, watch with simple curiosity and compassion (as Mary
O’Malley would say) as your mind shouts inside your head: “Hey, don’t give it a second
thought! Don’t give it a second thought!” because it knows what’s coming if you do. Then
gently insist that you are going to give it a second thought, you are going to take another
look at it, before you carve your experience in stone.
Your mind will eventually coo perate. You can actually train  your mind to cooperate. In
this, you have to be like a master teaching an old dog new tricks. You have to be a master
mind.
Now, if you have any questions on how this Life Altering Question process can work, you
can check in with any of a number of people who are familiar with this material by jumping
on the Internet at www.ChangingChange.net. I hope you’ll give yourself permission to do that, and to connect often at this intera ctive
site, if it feels that this might be a good resource for you. And for now, how about if we take
a little
Breathing Space
Breathe into what you’ve just read, then decide now if you want to go on right now, or
rest with it for a while and meet with me here later.
If you’re ready to go on, drop down to...
WHAT’S BEING WITNESSED?
Now let’s run a dialogue here, shall we?
Let’s look at what is right in front of you on this day of your life. (We’re using, of course,
our “pretend” example, since I can’t  talk directly with you right now... but I could  if you
and I were on one of our regularly scheduled group conference calls....)
So let’s look at this “pretend” example... but in our new way: let’s limit the encounter
with this moment to simply wh at is witnessed, rather than what is being felt about it. If you
were in a workshop with me I would say, “Tell me, what happened here?”
And you might respond: “My partner just left me. I have been abandoned. I’m all alone
again.”
And I might say, “I unders tand that your partner just left you. This is something you have
witnessed. This is Observed Reality. But have you been ‘abandoned’? Are you ‘all alone’? Is
this what you have witnessed, or is this what you have overlaid  on what you have
witnessed...?”
And you might respond, “I don’t know what you mean. I


but about changing our experience of it. Often a dramatic shift in our
internal holding of a health condition can have an effect on the
external presentation of the condition itself. We must always
remember this: Energy is an Effect that affects the Effect Itself.
Think of it as you would think of wind. Wind has an effect on
wind itself. If it is a little windy outside and a stronger gust of wind
comes along, the wind outside is affected by the wind that came
along. W e say the wind has “picked up.”
In precisely the same way, the energy can shift. Only it shifts
from fast to slow when it moves from agitation to peace, or from
resistance to acceptance, blessing, gratitude, and celebration.
Remember this: the lower the energy vibe, the less physical and
the more metaphysical is the effect. The level of solidity with which
the Essential Essence is rendered physical is in direct proportion tothe speed at which that Essence vibrates. The higher or faster its
vibration, the more physical its manifestation. The lower or slower its
vibration, the less physical and the more metaphysical (or spiritual)
its manifestation.
Visualize it this way: the faster the particles of energy move, the
more they create the experience of solidity. You would fall right
through the floor if the particles of energy were not moving so fast
that they are never in one place for more than a trillionth of a nano-
second. This means they are virtually “everywhere at once,” and you
can’t move fast enough to fall through them or get past them. Like the
blades of a fan or the spokes of a bicycle wheel, they produce what
appear to be solid surfaces.
Therefore, to put something firmly in place, giving it the illusion
of solidity, let yourself be agitated. W atch how real things become.
Is spiritual healing possible? In my belief, absolutely. Every
doctor in the world will tell you that a patient’ s attitude can be a huge
factor in recovery, or healing. The more “at peace” a patient is about
their condition (that is, the less agitated or rapid is the vibration of
their energy), the more they create the space for energy to shift. It is
the dif ference between a calm breeze and a stormy gust.
I like to think of energy as The Breath of God. It’s my poetic
way of conceptualizing it. And I like to think of myself as an
Individuation of Divinity. Therefore, my breath is The Breath of God,
and my energy is the Energy of God.
How I think— the energy I create when I think—is how I
“breathe” this energy. It is what I “inhale” and “exhale.” If I “take in”
negative energy or “send out” negative energy, I will experience
negativity.What this comes down to is that it feels clear to me that I affect
my exterior reality—with regard to health and everything else—by
what I allow my mind to take in and send out. My life experience has
validated this.
That having been said, resist not any exterior condition. If your
exterior physical condition does not change, know that this is not
what “healing” is about. As I said, healing is about changing your
interior experience of your exterior condition. Seeing everything as
perfect causes everything to be perfect, and therefore for suffering to
end, for “suffering” is nothing more than an interior experience arising
out of a decision that what is occurring should not be occurring. Yet
suffering can be greatly reduced, if not eliminated altogether,
whatever the exterior presentation of one’s physical expression.
Women in the moments leading up to, and including, childbirth
demonstrate this every day. People in the moments leading up to,
and including, death may do so also.
In truth, there is no such thing as death. All death is a giving
birth.Question #8:

DEFINING GOOD HEALTH

How do you define good health from both
a medical and a spiritual perspective?

DR. COOPER: The body is said to be at peak physiological
functioning  in a person’ s twenties and, for most people, it steadily
declines after that. Therefore, from a medical perspective, it seems
to me that “good health”—or “optimal health,” I should say—would
be along the lines of a healthy and fit twenty-something-year-old.
By conventional medical standards, then, all symptoms of
“aging” would be viewed as strikes against our health.  So when it
comes to our health, we would be fighting an uphill battle as our lives
move along even if we took excellent care of our bodies, to say
nothing of those who abus ed their bodies with alcohol, drugs,
smoking, a poor diet, or a sedentary lifestyle, or those  who are
plagued by illnesses at any point in their lives.
Even though the medical profession defines such things as
“relative good health” —such as for a “healthy” 80-year-old compared
to other people in their eighties, or for a “healthy” 50-year-old
compared to other people in their fifties, the medical profession’ sview of health  defines it as something that, in general, continues to
decline over the course of one’s life. It is a battle that 100 percent of
the time results in “failure,” or death, and it is simply a race against
time to see how far we can “push of f” that inevitable outcome.
To me this is a very uninspiring and non-optimistic point of view
on health. And although doctors themselves may bring a positive,
helping attitude (those of them who have “good beside manner”), the
medical profession nevertheless uses, as we have said several
times now, a crude measuring stick for health and wellness, and one
that, in my eyes, denies the true nature of Who W e Are.
Our spiritual health and wellbeing, on the other hand, is an
entirely dif ferent concept, with a much broader scope and definition.
I would describe someone who is in “optimal spiritual health” as
someone who recognizes that physical life is designed primarily to
move forward the Agenda of the Soul.
They would, in turn, carry out the activities of their life in
accordance with this agenda. And note that this would be possible
whether they are in so-called “good physical health” or not!
For instance, let’s consider breast-cancer survivors “dragon-
boating” down the Gorge Waterway in Victoria BC, Canada, where
I’m from (this is an event that goes on regularly).19
These individuals may not have the best health history, and are
often still at a heightened risk of relapse down the road, but a great
many of them remain active in the community, raising awareness for
breast cancer (the point of the dragon-boat races is to raise
awareness about the disease), and often living a life very much in
tune with what matters to their soul.In fact, I can’t count how many patients I have interviewed at
the Cancer Agency whose quality of life, spiritually speaking, has
actually increased after a presum ably “devastat ing diagnosis,” as it
caused them to reconsider  the whole point of what their life is about.
And, following the diagnosis, they then began to live in a way
that served the Agenda of their Soul, as opposed to simply gathering
the “physical accouterments” of life without paying much attention to
things of deeper meaning and value.
So what is the Agenda of the Soul?,  one might very well ask at
this point.
The Agenda of the Soul is to bring forth the qualities within
ourselves that we view as most central to our humanity and, in
particular, to the highest way that we can see ourselves “showing up”
in this world. And this might look slightly different for everyone.
For the caregiver of an aging parent with dementia, it may
mean “showing up” in a way that is caring, compassionate, patient,
and unconditionally loving, despite the challenges of playing such a
role in another ’s life.
For the parent of a new baby, it may mean loving that baby so
much that you sacrifice other aspects of your life in order to care for
and nurture him or her during these pivotal years of growth and
development.
And for a medical doctor, it may mean offering healing  not only
through the prescriptions you write, but also through your presence
and way of being with your patients.
A simple way to put it would be to say that the Agenda of our
Soul is to bring forth Divine states of being.  In other words, to bring
to phys icality, through the gift of our current lifetime, the literal down-to-Earth, on-th e-ground experience of Divinity that could not be
achieved in the Spiritual Realm alone.
And when we begin to experience ourselves in this way, we
immediately fall in love with the feeling! Ask anyone who has truly
tried this way of living and they will tell you that the joy and fulfillment
it brings is incomparable to almost anything else they have
experienced in their life.
And there is a reason for this. It is because we are tapping  into
the real reason we have come to the planet to begin with. In other
words, we are aligned with our true purpose  (which, by the way, has
nothing to do with what we are “doing” and everything to do with how
we are “being”... a point that


ice intake by water.
At this stage in the book, I would like to inform you that a vast majority of very frequently used medications are either
directly or indirectly stro ng antihistamines. The strongest variety are used in the discipline of psychiatry and for
patients with depression. Many of the antidepressant drugs on the market are antihistamines—so  much so that
some gastroenterologists a re using these ; drugs for the treatment of ulcer patients because they are cheaper.
There are many of them on the market and, because of competition, their prices are lower  than the traditional Hz
blocking agents that have cornered the market.
This information is given to indicate that the pharmaceutical industry appreciates the significance of histamine
activity in the human body. They are not here to inform us of the role of histamine in water regulation of the body;
they are business enterprises i nterested in marketing their products. The next time your physician prescribes a
medication for you, ask if it has any anti-histamine activity. The antihistamine med ications mil strongly affect the
immune systems of the body at the level of the bone marrow.
THE HEAL TH CARE SYSTEM AND OUR RESPONSIBI LITIES
If you have suffered because of the application of "medical ignorance" to your body's earlier calls for wat er, it
becomes the responsibility of your attending doctor to supervise your return to health by tailing off the use of
chemicals for the treatment of chronic dehydration in your body. You should make sure your doctor becomes aware
of the information on water metabolism, and your body's o ther call signals for  water, when dehydration begins to
alter the body physiology. Your doctor is responsible to you and, as your physician, he needs to become informed. It
is your responsibility to help your doctor become aware of the paradigm shift. It is now your responsibility to help
change the health care system to work for you and not the commercial and political aims of its administrators.
It may become necessary to pass legislation to exclude dehydration as a causative factor in the production of
disease conditions before any pharmaceutical or invasive procedures are undertaken. The evaluation of drugs for
ultimate use in treatment procedures sho uld be carried out only after patients are fully hydrated and several days
have elapsed before starting the test. After all, the water used in taking a pill is immediately more effective in a
dehydrated person than the chemical composition of the pill! I have explained that the "placebo" effect se en in drug
trials is most probably the result of some correction for the unrecognized dehydration as a contributing factor in
disease production. You are now in "the arena." You should use your knowledge for the benefit of mankind and try
to bring about the paradigm shift on water metabolism of the body into the everyday practice of medicine.
COST SAVINGS TO THE NATION
The paradigm change in medicine, as it has been exposed, when fully adopted and practiced, will save a large
portion of the vast and unnecessar y health care costs a nd expenditure by society.
Hype rtension and its associated cardiovascular disorders are costi ng this nation over 100 billion dollars a year. Back
pain translates into an 80-billion-dollar-a-year loss to society. Rheumatoid joint disease is affecting 20 million elderly
people and is co sting this nation many tens of billions of dollars annually—to  name but a few headings. Of the
approximately 850 billion dollars health care costs i n 1992 alone, about 50 to 60 percent are most probably incurred
as a result of primitive errors about chronic dehydration and the associated signal systems that should be translated
as the main thirst indicators of the body.
A simple correction of this long-standing scientific m istake can reverse the budget deficit of this nation. In any event,
the paradigm shift will also produce a much  healthier society. It is estimated t hat the ru naway cost of health care in
this socie ty will reach 1.6 trillion dollars by the year 2000 and will increase to 28 percent of the Gross National
Product by th e year 2010. Even with such  rise in expenditure, no fewer than 50 million people could not afford to pay
the rising costs o f health insurance and will be deprived of adequate coverage. The paradigm shift will reverse  this
"no solution in sight" health care cost sp iraling trend.
I invite you to share the information in this book with your relatives and friends. You will be doing them a favor. By
responding positively to this invitation, you will be at the same time helping this nation reduce its health care costs
by at least 60 percent. It is criminal that at the end  of 20th Century, human t hirst for water is stil l being treated wi th
slow poisons.
I have a request. If the information in this book helps you, please write me a note about your particular condition and
how increased water intake has helped you. We need to document as much information on chronic dehydration asis possib le. It is a very young science. It needs the input of all who test the information. Your participation will save
others with similar problems from unnecessary suff ering that local dehydration could produce without being so
identified. Like the letters printed in this book, your input can illuminate the path of others in the future.
FINALLY
Based on the above physiological approach to disease emergence, it is now p ossible to take a resolute stand to end
major dehydration-produced diseases on earth within two decades. The public must demand the paradigm change
and adopt the new paradigm themselves to free mankind from all the "scientific" misconceptions perpetuated for
profit-motivated business e xpansion within the health care system. My colleagues in the medical profession must
similarly stop treating the signals of dehydration of the body by the indiscrim inate use of pharmaceutical products o r
invasive procedures.
In 1990, the president and all the board members of the American Medical Associa tion were sent an invitation by
the Foundation for the Simple in Medicine to share the provided information of the paradigm shift on water
metabolism of the body with their active medical colleagues. Th is letter of invitation was subsequently published in
the 1991 issue of Science In Medicine Simplified. It is also presented in the followin g pages with subsequent
correspondences with AMA. You  are now being informed of som e of the actions taken to bring my findings about
chronic dehydration to you through the members of AMA.
This is an invitation that you must forcefully extend to your personal doctor and administrators of the health care
systems in our society. Mor e than enough scientific in formation to demand the necessary change in the present
structure of the health care system is now available. Please do not be indifferent to the pain and suffering of others.
Take a resolute stand to stop the present health care sting against those who  do not yet know that chronic
dehydration is the root cause of most degenerative diseases o f the human body. You see, by ch oosing t o keep
silent about the discovery that the human  body has a variety of sophisticated thirst signals, the AMA has converted
its basic ignorance of this fact into a sting operation against the public. Letters published in the following pages
seem to point in that direction.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>YOUR

A PERSONAL
STATEMENT
A  speaker stood before a group of alcoholics determined to
demonstrate to them, once and for all, that alcohol was an evil bey-
ond compare. On the platform he had what appeared to be two
identical containers of clear fluid. He announced that one contained
pure water and the other was filled with undiluted alcohol. He
placed a small worm in the container while everyone watched as it
swam around and headed for the side of the glass, whereupon it
simply crawled to the top of the glass. He then took the same worm
and placed it in the container with alcohol. The worm disintegrated
right before their eyes. “There,” said the speaker. “What’s the mor-
al?” A voice from the rear of the room said quite clearly, “I see that
if you drink alcohol, you’ll never have worms.”
This book has a lot of “worms” in it—meaning, you will hear and
perceive exactly what you want to hear based upon many of your
own values, beliefs, prejudices and personal history. Self-defeating
behavior and the ways to overcome it are touchy areas to write about.
Looking at yourself in depth with an eye toward changing might be
something that you say you are interested in accomplishing, but
your behavior often speaks


 In spite old clear
contra-indications they continued smoking and behaved carelessly
during the urine.tre~tment. Even then, they have benefited to a great
extent. This is the proof of the curing power of urine. I remembered
the words of the Holy Gita -"Fulfilling the duty even to a small
extent, saves one from great danger.i• How much more benefit cou.ld
one obtain if the path of duty is followed in toto? So is the case with
urine therapy.
AFTERMATH OF CASES
After Shri Raojibhai's death, the work of urine therapy is well
carried on by Bharat Sevak Samaj (Gujarati Branch). But how his
mantle fell on Dr. Paragjibhai D. Desai of Bulsar is shown in the 4th
Part of this book. Many an individual sought advice on urine therapy
from Bharat Sevak Samaj and from Dr. Paragjibhai. So naturally WEAKNESS OF HEART : 83
there accumulated a number of successf!JI cases. The patients so
treated were sufferers of different diseases. They are classified
disease-wise and are given under each disease at the end under the
caption "Aftermath of Cases". Here are given such few cases of
heart-weakness treated successfully. ·
1. Shri N.C. Chashmawala of Surat was suffering from weakness
of heart for the last six years. His age was forty-three. Upto the age
of thirty, he had experienced no disease. At the age?f t~irty-six, he
suddently felt severe pain starting in the back and bnngmg pressure
on the heart. That made him quite uneasy and weak. He could not
walk a few steps ·without taking rest on the way! Friends and
relatives told him that the pain was due to cold. Doctors could not
cure il. By chance he took brandy for its cure and got some relief for
a while. But after a month, the pain recurred and he had to take
recourseto Euopean doctor. From cardiogram it was found o_ut that
he was really suffering from heart-disease. He ~as ad~i.sed.,a
month's rest. Meanwhile his father's friend showed him RaOJibhai s
book on urine therapy. He started urine therapy by drinking and
rubbing urine. He took only boiled food without condiments and
fruits and milk at night. He used to take sun-bath after rubbing urine.
After one month,. he got relief from pain. Even for six months he had
continued drinking urine and stopped its rubbing. He could tak_e
normal food. His digestion has much improved. The members of his
family also began to use urine! His baby of 3 years of age fell down
and became unconscious. By using urine, she was brought to
consciousness and in five minutes began to play! His friend could
get rid of high blood-pressure by urine treatment.
2. Shri Dhir~bhai H. Vakharia, aged fo(ty, is a businessman of
Bulsar. He was suffering from coronary thrombosis for two years and
was not cured by doctors. He took to urine therapy in 1963. He
used to take 8 to 1 0 ounces of urine three times without fast or
rubbing and rested for two months. He has no trouble of heart any
more for the last six years.
· 3. Shri Sampatkumar. Sheth, Barri~ter, High Court, Bombay, 84 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY
(Anand Mahal, Babulnath Road, Bombay-7) was suffering from.
coronary thrombosis. He slowly took to urine therapy and sought
advice from Dr. Paragjibhai personally by inviting him to his place.
Not only could he cure himself by four days' urine fast but became
quite healthy by urinemassage afterwards. He could cure cough and
cold of his son and daughter and two other patients ~y this therapy.
4. Shri Prajna Bhatta of Navagam (Dist. Kheda) had a dilated
heart and suffered from Mitral Stenosis. She used urine living on
simple food. She took urine as well rubMd it. She could cure herself
of the heart trouble and at the same time.got rid of cold and liver
trouble.
5. Shri Ramanlal from Nadiad was suffering from heart trouble for
7 years. He took to urine therapy and cured himself completely. He
has regained so much vigour that he rides a cycle without any strain.
He. qecame a firm believer in urine therapy and cured Shri
Gurudatta Shastri of his deafness only by urine!
6. Shri Jethalal Shah from Bombay had the same good experience
of this therapy. He cured himself of his weakness of heart and his
heart now has become strong enough to allow him to work with full
vigour.
CHAPTER Ill
HIGH BLOOD-PRESSURE
By the end of May 1958, Shri Anubhai Shah of Ahmedabad,
came to me. He reported about his wife's suffering from· high
blood-pressure. He related : "She is forty-five and has constant
headache with throbbing. She has not been able to sleep well for the
last six months because of agony and is unable to take any food. She
was suffering from simple cold and some times from fever also. The
doctor gave her strong injections against cold. She completed a
course of Streptomycin and other injections also but cold persisted.
Her condition went on deteriorating day by day and so I took her to HIGH BLOOD-PRESSURE : 85
an experienced and a highly qualified doctor. He examined her and
was suprised to find out her high blood-pressure. He scolded the
former dodor for not caring to her pressure. Her blood-pressure was
270! And the fight against it started.
"They tried their level best to lower the pressure but with ~~
success. so they suggested an operation which wa~ perf?rmed m
vadilal Hospital and some nerves from left and nght s1de were
removed. But blood-pressure could not be brought below 240~ an~
that too was maintained with the aid of medicine, otherw1se 1t
would rise to 260! Other troubles continued as before.
"Now 1 come to you after utter disappointment as the dodor
declared the case as hopeless.
"Urine therapy gives IT.le a ray of hope that (t may succeed in
bringing down her blood-pressure."
Seeing his firm decision, I advised him to see Dr. Pushpen~ra
Bhatta who is taking keen interest in this treatment and_ to acquamt
himSelf with the method of this treatment and asked h1m to foll?w
his instructions and to see that no other medicine, during the penod
of this treatment, was given to t~e patient.
By misunderstanding rubbin&4Jf urine on the patinet was started
only on soles. Even this limited application worked wonderfully.
After three days' of rubbing,, the tablet.s of medi:ine were_ s~opped.
The blood-pressure did not go higher and Shn Anubha1 JO~ful!y
informed about it on the phone. He expressed his new-born fa1th m
the urine treatment and asked for further instructions.
Though blood-pressure is a common malady, such a high degree
of blood-pressure is still a rate case. I asked Shri Ranjit~hai, w~o had
adopted this treatmeritfor the last four years as a yog1c pract~~e, t~
take over the charge of that lady for t~is treatment. Ra~Jitbhal
himself lived on milk diet and gave his urine to the.pat1ent for
rubbing while her own urine was used for drinking. Th~ lady co~ld
not take food and could. not digest even milk. Ten days of rubbmg
·resulted in the lowering down of blood-pressure from 240 to 225. 86 : AL)TO-URINE THERAPY
She had sleep for two to three hours a day and could digest some
milk. In the next ten days, all pain had gone and blood-pressure
came down to 200. She began to feel comfortable and could sit with
the support of a pillow. She had loose motions which eliminated the
foul matter accumulated in her body. Sleep was longer and
sounder. In spite of all this improvement, there was no relief in the
swe!ling of hands and feet. Anubhai suspected it as the after-effect of
too many injedions. The foltowers of Ayurved diagnosed that she
had Kathodar due to the accumulation of foreign poisons in the
body. Her heart and kidneys also were not functioning properly.
Consequently, though blood-pressur.e came dowrf, the swelling
continued. The treatment of urine was continued and in six weeks,
blood-pressure came down to 1 50. It was no longer abnormal for
her age of forty-five. Now.swelling was the main trouble. The fast
could not be prolonged and so she was given little amount of milk
and lentil soup. The rubbing of urine was continued as before


 she had
two small meals, which  she  was advised  to fletcherise,  i.e., chew to 53
 pulp before  swallowing.  In a week she was on her feet, dressed in her
clothes of the previous  year,  and able to walk  easily from room to room.
Although recovered,  she kept up the practice of, taking her own urine,
as also rubbing it into the body (the most  i mportant  areas are the face
and  the neck)  with astonishing  results on the skin, hair, complexion,
and  her general appearance.  Indeed,  urine is the  skin food par
excellence  as also the remedy  for every kind of skin disease.
And here  ends  the long case‐ history of Mrs. C. who was given "only two
days to live"!  Incidentally,  both her husband and  the two  nurses
became  strong converts to urine‐therapy, and  I may  add, to a well‐
balanced,  as opposed to a de‐natured, diet.
Mrs.  C's, case  attracted  much attention  as far as the lay public was
concerned,  but  not, as I then innocently  hoped, from the medical
fraternity.  For, as Dr. Freud, the discoverer  of Psycho‐analysis, has
pointed  out, no matter what evidence,  many people only allow
themselves  to believe what they  wish to believe, and  likewise they
disbelieve  what they  wish to disbelieve.  All the same, there are
extenuating  circumstances  where  the medical profession  is concerned.
Until a lot more  "spade work"  has been done to put an end to prudery,
the chances are that if a doctor told his patients  to fast and drink  their
own urine, he would merely  be regarded as mad  or disgusting,  and  the
patients would immediately  seek the advice  of some other  physician.
Besides, why do most  people seek medical advice? In order to be told
how to counteract  the effects of their self‐indulgencies.  If one doctor
tells  them  they  must  give up this and  that, they  then go to another 54
 doctor who tells  them they  need not give up this  or that; and being
delighted  with his advice, follow it very often  to their own undoing.
Enough said‐Mrs.  C's case  was instrumental  in bringing the case  of Mr.
B. whose condition  had also  been diagnosed  as Bright's disease. Mr. B.
had  for years subsisted  on the usual ill‐balanced deficiency  diet,
rendered  even more  deficient by non‐ conservative  cooking, and
rendered  more  "tasty"  by the adjunct  of condiments.  He was not a big
eater,  but he drank some eight cups  of tea a day and  smoked about
twenty‐five cigarettes  on an average. When he came  to me in 1920, he
had  been under  two doctors  for some time, during which  period his
weight had increased  from 2801bs. to 420 lbs. Like Mrs.  C., he had
finally been given two days to live.
In June, 1920, he began a fast  which lasted  49 days. By the fourth day
of his penance he was passing water as clear and as tasteless almost as
rain‐ water,  and  his swellings began to vanish  with astonishing  rapidity.
He had  been anaemic, but at the end of the seven weeks, his anaemia
had  disappeared.  His weight was now 105lbs., and  he looked in every
respect as young as he had done 20 years before. (As his photographs
showed.)
Mr. B. broke  his fast  in much the same way as Mrs. C. had  done, and
like her, became  a convert to urine therapy and  a properly balanced,  if
frugal, diet, viz., he gave up de‐natured  food and continued  to drink  his
own urine daily, with most  gratifying  results.
In the same year, more  cases  came into my hands. Mr. W. (75 at the
time), Mrs.  L. (38), Mr. B. (55) and also a boy of 11. Each case  presented
features worthy of recital at length, but brevity  must suffice. Mr. W., in 55
 spite of his age,  fasted  53 days‐which serves to show that age is no
obstacle. Mrs.  L. 42 days, Mr. B. 60 days. In the case  of the boy, a
fortnight proved sufficient  to effect a cure. All the cases were attended
with the same happy ending as that  of Mrs. C. And here  let me add that
the policy of forcing sick people to eat " in order to keep up their
strength"  is in my opinion responsible  for thousands  of untimely deaths.
Food  cannot be assimilated  by a sick body which  is already full of
obstructive  matter. The only " food " for sick people is urine,  seeing
that among its other functions  it replaces tissue in a manner nothing
else can do. As for drugs, many of those poisonous  ones employed  have
serious cumulative  effects for which  there  are no antidotes.
After 1920, during the next two years, I had over thirty cases of Bright's
disease and other  affections  of the bladder and kidneys to advise upon,
and in no instance did it take longer than from  four to fourteen days on
urine fasts to restore normality,  and a satisfactory  state of general
health.  These  cases having yielded to treatment  so much more  readily
than the ones aforesighted,  I classified  them in my


 the first cy-
cle lasts 5 -7 days, the second 7 -9 days and an
eventual third one of 9 days. These cycles are in-
terspersed with periods of food r eintegration ac-
cording to a special method.
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frThe first phase of dry fasting (detoxifying)
lasts as long as the patient is able to endure. In
this phase it is preferable not to have any contact
with water or even brushing teeth, but some peo-
ple may be allowed to bathe under a waterfall
and in mountain rivers to optimize the elimina-
tion of waste materials, which is essential for
maintaining homeostasis in the body.  During
the first phase, the first acidotic crisis occurs, and
this is a sign of a good body cle ansing. Then the
patient goes out of the fast with a special pro-
gram that also includes the intake of energizing
and adaptive herbal infusions from Altai moun-
tains (rhodiola or golden root, red root or
Hedysarum neglectum, Rhaponticum car-
thamoides  and othe rs).
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frThe second (strictly therapeutic) cycle of dry
fasting lasts until the second acidotic crisis oc-
curs, aimed at eradicating the disease. The sec-
ond cycle of DF is normally better tolerated than
the first, both physically and psychologically. In
some cases, in the presence of very serious dis-
eases, it is advisable to practice also a third cycle
of DF, the final one. The most important thing
to note is that with every new fast an ever more
rapid transition to endogenous nutrition occurs
and a very high quality biosynthesis. In other
words, this kind of "pendulum" fasting cycle al-
lows to increasingly strengthen the body's de-
fenses.
The further advantage of this method lies in
the fact that, after the first cleansing phase, the
functionality, memory capacity  and energy
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frpotential of the cells are restored, and subse-
quently, with the second fasting period, the cell
is allowed to conclude the process, to clean up
deeply and perfect the steps that may have been
neglected. It is something like the principle of
supercompensation: everything that at the be-
ginning has been superficially treated, now is de-
finitively cleansed and purified. As a result, the
body approaches new positive stresses in a state
of "greater combat readiness". In this system, a
fast is superimposed on the other, optimizing
the therapeutic effect.
The FDF is also convenient for people who
are overweight or  obese,  because it does not al-
low weight gain. The weight decreases progres-
sively and usually obese people not only regulate
their weight, but they reduce it by 2 -3kg because
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frthe superfluous fat cells are destroyed by the ac-
idotic crisis, their number is normalized and
they become as many as the amount patients had
in their youth.
The DF according to the method Filonov, in
addition to its therapeutic value, has a strong re-
juvenating and regenerating effect, it is tolerated
rather well and does not bring any complications
in practice. Therein lies the difference with
Shchennikov’s fasting, who recommends right
away prolonged DF practices, of 9 -10-11 days. In
the cascade fasting according to V. P. Lavrova
the DF is practiced with equal times for the fast
and the exit: 1 day of fasting and 1 day of eating,
then 2 days of DF and 2 days of eating, up to 5
days. It is a very effective fast, but it is nece ssary
to practice it for a long time before reaching the
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frsecond acidotic crisis. According to the Filonov
method, on the other hand, the process takes
place in crescendo, the terms increase with each
cycle and thanks to this way of proceeding the
second ac idotic crisis occurs in a shorter time.
After a proper preparation for DF (proper
feeding, bowel and liver cleansing, water  fasting,
DF training days – (see question 9 and follow-
ing), it is possible to switch to the Filonov
method: a practice of 5 - 7 days of DF, then a re-
covery period of 2 -3 weeks and a second practice
of 7-9 days. If there are still problems you can
complete with a final practice of another 9 days
(the terms are individual, and depend on the
pathological situation and the individual aims).
One of the disadvantages of the FDF is that it
takes much more time than the CDF and a

adapt the body to this type of practice.

Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr7. What are the advantages of dry fast-
ing compared to water  fasting?

In a dry fa st the organism is subjected to
harsher conditions than in a water fast. It is
forced to restructure itself in order to produce
not only nutrients but also water. In the body’s
tissues the splitting occurs more quickly and
takes place in a short time. The phases of thera-
peutic fasting, in the case of dry fasting, are the
same ones identified for water  fasting, but the
times are reduced considerably: the excitation
phase lasts less than a day, the phase of increas-
ing ketoacidosis lasts from 1 to 3 days and o n the
third day of dry fast the ketoacidotic crisis ap-
pears. The second acidotic crisis, the most
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frcurative one, occurs at the 9 -11th day. The
sooner it appears, the sooner it passes, and the
more time remains for renewal and healing of
the organism.
During a water fast, exogenous water (water
coming from outside) enters the body, and water
is the main factor of purification. According to
the law of biological expediency, a cell, in this
case, spends the minimum of its energy: all tox-
ins, poisons, waste are dissolved and, to put it in
a figurative sense, there is a phenomenon of
washing the toxins from the cell and intercellular
space. During a DF, however, incineration of
toxins occurs in their own furnace, in a way. This
means that every cell, in the absenc e of water,
triggers an internal fusion reaction, and turns
into a mini -reactor. Water is of utmost necessity

especially for diseased and altered cells. In these
extreme circumstances what happens is that  the
strongest, healthiest cells survive, and in order to
survive in this situation they must intensify the
production of their own high quality endoge-
nous water. This endogenous water is probably
of a quality many times higher than that of exog-
enous water, always according to the law of bio-
logical efficiency. A cell consumes a lot of energy
and consequently the resulting product must, in
terms of quality, correspond to the effort in-
vested. Here we are not dealing with the human
mind, which can be mistaken,  but with a natural
process that overseas each stage of development
and aims to ensure the continuation of life. Dur-
ing a dry fast the replacement of the old "dead
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frwater" takes place with "living water" of superior
quality, endogenous water, synthesized by  the
organism itself.
Many patients report that dry fasting is better
tolerated than water fasting because of the lack
of hunger. This is not surprising. The fact is that
the exogenous water and the body’s own water
are very
