, the site of the dental office, wa s 4-5 miles north of the Dallas/Ft. Worth
Airport. Counselees flying into D/FTW would rent a car and drive to my office. The police
would take the rental car’s license down, then go t o the rental agency and get name and address
of counselees. In addition to giving the informatio n to the Establishment the police would send it
to the hometown of the counselee so their local pol ice could keep surveillance on them. Many
entrapment tricks both in Texas and Hometowns were used frequently
ANOTHER FIRST
The Establishment got into such a frenzy they engag ed the Texas State Comptroller to illegally
do their dirty work. They were going to stop me at all costs. The Establishment sent to my little
shack an agent of the Comptroller. It did not bothe r me a bit. In fact I offered to help the
Comptroller. The Comptroller decided that I owed th e Sovereign State of Texas several
thousands of dollars of sales taxes I should have c ollected on the food and vitamins being sold to
counselees. CHANGING THE LAW RETROACTIVELY, a good ol’ Establishment Trick he
learned from the IRS, who practice it routinely, wh en needed to control a person or destroy him. The State Legislature specifically by law exempted sales tax on food and vitamins. The
Comptroller, Bob Bullock (later to become Lt. Gover nor) said he made a specific arbitrary ruling
for me [by Establishment’s orders]. I just ignored him. Being challenged, the Comptroller got
nasty and sent his henchmen to threaten me. I told them "I’ll make a deal with you. You can pay
for a clerk to collect it for you. I only work for myself. Or, you can set up a card table outside my
front door and collect the taxes yourself. I’ll eve n let you store your card table inside my office
overnight. You had better have a beach umbrella als o, sitting outside in the Texas Sun gets hot." Last December, I received a Christmas card from Lt. Governor & Mrs. Bullock. Not too long after this, we moved to a tiny town of  200 in Winthrop, Washington. The
Establishment was enraged to a point of hate and ac tion. One wintry night our home was burned
to the ground. All was lost including the older sto red medical records and our pets. During this period, no Establishment trick was over looked to stop me. The Establishment-
controlled Federal agency, Internal Revenue Service, used all its reserve tricks, and like the
Texas Comptroller made up several new rules in thei r attempt to stop me. I guess I was too dumb
to let it bother me, and I went right on my way hel ping as many people as God would send. ALL OUT ESTABLISHMENT WAR OF REVENGE
From late 1979 through to this date, the Establishm ent has been in an insane Tizzy. No deceit, no
lie, no trick, no bribe, no MURDER, no use of "the badder and baddest people" were overlooked
and used to the fullest extent of their creative di abolic intent and actions. In their War on me,
they attacked on all fronts and areas to the full f ury of their capacity. They did several things at
the same time. Many too horrible to write about. I will mention some of them; they were all
going on at the same time. The battles became inten se with the Hollywood Actor Steve
McQueen..
STEVE MCQUEEN  Early in 1980 after he had stopped, within 6 months, the growth of his (McQueen’s) own Cancer
tumors, his body had encapsulated the dead Liver tu mor and several smaller masses. McQueen felt well and demanded that the unsightly b ulge on his right side and little nodule on
the left side of his neck be surgically removed. I was against this at the time but McQueen
insisted. FATAL MISTAKE
McQueen frequently called me on my FBI-tapped telep hone. In one call McQueen made to me,
he stated in his famous hero’s voice, "I’m going to  blow the lid off this Cancer Racket." This of
course freaked out the Cancer Establishment. The FB I then leaked it out to the National Enquirer
scandal sheet of the CIA. This exposure was to disc redit me. McQueen was then constantly
watched and harassed by the FBI, CIA and the Media. MCQUEEN MURDER
During the surgery, the skin over the liver was cut  open and the encapsulated, dead Tumor fell
out on the operating table. After surgery McQueen h ad a talk with me. During the night a
government agent came into his room posing as a Phy sician on duty and injected McQueen with
a blood clotting medication, which was the cause of  death. THE ESTABLISHMENT
INFILTRATION
OF THE KELLEY PROGRAM
Movie actor Steve McQueen had completely cured his own CANCER using our Metabolic
Program and had made plans to expose and "blow the lid off the cancer racket." Before he could
accomplish this, he was murdered as only the Establ ishment can do it with all the fanfare and
news media to destroy my program. When this failed, the Establishment’s next plan was  to send a mole or infiltrator into the Kelley
organization so that as close a call as the McQueen  episode could never happen again. A Cornell medical student, Gonzalez, who had failed  after the second year in medical school,
was wandering in and out of the unorthodox medical community looking for help for his own
mental instability and illness. During this fruitle ss search, Gonzalez stumbled onto the Kelley
Program, which he mentioned to his psychiatrist. With the help of his psychoanalyst, Colter Rule, M. D. and wife Betty Gessels, M.D., (high level
Establishment members in NYC), Gonzalez, and a majo r faction of the Establishment, forced
Robert A. Good, Ph.D., M.D., President of Memorial Sloan- Kettering Cancer Center/Institute,
to sponsor Nicholas J. Gonzalez’ review of Kelley’s  records and expose Kelley as a Quack. This project, being most important to the Establish ment, led Cornell Medical School to reinstate
Gonzalez, as a 3rd year medical student under Good’ s supervision for this project dealing with
the Kelley Program. The infighting of the Medical Establishment over th is project forced the most renowned medical
researcher of all history to be fired and dismissed  from Sloan-Kettering and shipped out to
Oklahoma City. The Establishment gave the green light to Gonzalez to carefully investigate the Kelley Program
and get the information to expose me as a fraud. Th is backfired on the Big Establishment as the
second communication from Gonzalez to Good after Go nzalez reviewed the first 139 of
thousands of records in my possession show. Robert A. Good, M.D., Ph.D. 2 September

50 N.E. 13th Street
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Dear Dr. Good,
I hadn’t meant to write you so soon again, but I’ve  just finished sifting through the first 139 of
Dr. Kelley’s patient records and found the initial results interesting enough to pass on my
findings. While I intend to concentrate on the canc ers we discussed — pancreatic, colon, lung,
perhaps breast — I’ve included all the initial resu lts just for interest’s sake. Again, as I wrote in my first letter to you, I do n ot yet have the actual biopsy reports or other lab
data documenting the diagnosis, but I have found Dr. Kelley does keep information regarding
how the tumors were diagnosed. I found these results, particularly for pancreatic,  quite intriguing. His overall survival rate for al l
cancer in this first group is 93% — and I have foun d, going through Dr. Kelley’s records,
virtually all of his patients have advanced disease. Many have come to him because no further
conventional treatment could be offered. Sincerely, Nick Gonzalez

 a different sort. Your instinct  is what pushes you into your future. It says, if you want a future, listen to
your past —even if it is a past that you cann ot consciously remember. Your cellular
memory, this “sub -directory,” holds the history of your entire species. So if anyone  in your
biological line has encountered data about what you are now witnessing, that data will
immediately be made available to you. This is the Reptilian Brain at work. The what. Yes, I said the Reptilian Brain. And all of this —all of it — relates directly to the
experience that you are having right now, on this very day. This short course in the
Mechanics of the Mind is something that should be taught in every school, in age -
appropriate ways, so that when we all become adults we know what we are dealing with
here —and can create the lives we always imagined we would lead.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>
Q: What is the author's message about the human experience and the way to change one's life?,
A: The author is discussing the importance of understanding how the mind works and how to change one's experience of life by changing one's innermost truth. This is achieved by recognizing that the truth you buy into is based on the past data you choose to look at, and that you can change your innermost truth to alter your experience.
Q: What is the author's view on the concept of "reality"?,
A: The author emphasizes that our reality is not what we see, but what we think we see after adding past data, and that this is why it is essential to change our innermost truth to change our reality.
Q: What is the difference between Judged Past Data and Factual Past Data?,
A: The author explains that Judged Past Data contains what we call Good Memories or Bad Memories, while Factual Past Data is simply the raw, unanalyzed data.
Q: What is the author's stance on the concept of "emotion"?,
A: The author states that emotions are not inherent, but rather chosen, and that the mind decides how to respond to a situation based on past data.
Q: What is the author's main point about the relationship between the mind and the soul?,
A: The author emphasizes that the mind and the soul are separate entities, and that the soul is the source of wisdom, whereas the mind is limited by its own mechanisms.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>In simple terms, this is called change. Yes, there’s that word again... change. That is what life is all about. Life nourishes life through the process of life itself, in which
life changes its form a hundred million times in the blink of an eye, a million  million tim es
in seconds, a billion  million times in a minute, and more times than Time itself can count in
the time that has passed since counting began. Change for the worse  is literally impossible within the expression of energy that we call
Life. That’s because L ife itself can fundamentally alter itself in only one direction: the
direction that evolution requires; the direction that expansion demands, the direction that
keeps it flourishing. Things can only change for the better, things can only improve,
because “ improvement” is the only Nature of God. Put another way, God has no intention of doing Itself in. Life is God’s way of proving Itself to Itself. The process by which It does this is called
Improvement. But wait a minute! Who even says there is a “God”? I do. But I am not using the word God as many other people do. I do not use the word to
denote or describe a huge Super Being existing somewhere in the cosmos, exhibiting
proclivities and tendencies, needs and desires, frustrations and emotions identical to t hose
of humans. I am not talking about an Entity Divine who has needs that must be fulfilled or
else, who presumably has a temper (or, at least, a determination to punish those who
disobey), and who also has, presumably, a penis, and, presumably, fair skin, and,
presumably, no wife, but One Son. This is not the God I am referring to when I use the word “God.”  I am referring to the Source of Supreme Intelligence manifesting itself as the Pure
Energy that we call Life itself. I am referring to the Largest Manifestation of a System That
Replicates Itself in Smaller and Smaller Versions through a Process That Empow ers the
System Itself to Exist and to Expand. I am talking about the biggest undifferentiated stem
cell in existence, from which life in all its forms emerges. Indeed, in my understanding and experience the words “God” and “Life” are
interchangeable, and i n this equation evolution is the constant. It is the ever -present
mandate of Life itself. It is the continual, the unending adjustment, adaptation, and
alteration of All That Is. No adjustment, adaptation, or alteration contracts  Life, but can only
expand  it. No adjustment, adaptation, or alteration diminishes  Life, but can only enhance  it. Life evolves to higher and higher levels of complexity. Life could not devolve  if it wanted
to. It is incapable of doing that. Now, it is true that life can look like  it is devolving. Changes can look like  they are not “for
the better.” But, in fact, change can only be for the better or it would not occur. All spiritual
masters know this. That is why all spiritual masters teach, e ach in their own articulation...... judge not by appearances. Life is eternally functional, adaptable, and sustainable. These are the Basic Principles of
Life, and they cannot be violated or rendered in any way inoperable, or Life would cease to
be. All of this becomes much easier for people to comprehend with my simple substitution
of the word God for the word Life. Suddenly, everything is made clear. God is eternally
Functional, Adaptable, and Sustainable. These are the Basic Principles of God, and they
cannot be violated or rendered in any way inoperable, or God would cease to be. When human beings embrace the extraordinary idea presented here, the process of
change will be seen for what it is: the ultimate expression of Divinity Itself, sustaining Itself
through adaptations that render Itself eternally magnificent. Change is an announcement of Life’s intention to go on. Change is the fundamental impulse
of Life itself. Again I want to tell you that I don’t think that a lot of people see it this way. If they saw it
this way they would heed the injunction of Christ, and “be not afraid.” Yet “ye of little faith”
are afraid. Thus it was that Franklin Roosevelt was moved to say, “We have nothing to fear
but fear itself.”
I’m going to take that one step fu rther. I’m going to say... We have nothing to change but Change itself. Today I awakened quieter than God
and stretched my Self toward the sky
to caress the celestial bodies
with the
Body of God  All night long
The Sun awaited my eyes. And now that they are upon Her
She rises, as Divined as every siren
every muse
every
Body of God. Even Ocean sways and rocks
in gentle wait for me to wake
even Moon
even Sky
even Silence
Even Silence awaits the Awakening of my voice
that will tenderly kiss Its body of sound s
still
in the Body of God. —‘The Body of God’  © 2009 Em Claire  18. THE SIXTH CHANGE
I HOPE YOU HAVE  considered The Fifth Change carefully, and that, given the information
and the insights you’ve received here, you feel that you can go ahead and embrace it, along
with Changes One, Two, Three, and Four. I want to say that if there were one change on my list of nine that could do the work of
all the others, Change #5  would be it. This is a change that can change the way change is
experienced even as change is taking place. Isn’t that a change you would like to make? Sure it is. We’d all like to make a change like that at times such as the moment you are
experiencing r ight now. Now I know that the way you’d  like to change things is to change the fact that anything
changed at all! It may look as if you can be happy again only if you can change what
happened. But here’s the news: that’s not going to make you happy. If kee ping things the way they were was going to keep things happy, what has just happened
wouldn’t have happened. Now you might be able to put in place yet another  change, following the change that has
just occurred, which could return things to something resembling  the way they were
before, but they will never again be exactly the same —and you would not want them to be. Always remember this: you cannot change what’ s been changed, because that’s already in
the past, but you can change the future, and that’s where your power lies. Your decision will be, do I want to change the future so that it duplicates my past? Or do
I want to change the future so radically that it  looks nothing at all  like my past? In order to consider this carefully, you should be aware that change does not occur in a
vacuum. Change does not take place in the universe for no reason. Change is not


in t ime, I’d live my life so much better. Regret over the  past is
mingled into everyone’s story, and the basis for this regret  (and its
opposite, which  is nostalgia) is that the passage of time has power
over us. “I used to have a perfect figure” states this more directly
by c onnecting  the passing of the years with a loss of physical
attractiveness, while implying that “a perfect figure” is the  same as
self-worth and sexual desirability. These example s of how the mind feels separate and different
from the body could be expan ded endlessly. The body is su bject to
all man ner of judgment, and yet the underlying process, whether
you lov e your body or hate it, hasn’t been examined closely. This
underlying process is the inescapable way your body has absorbed
every detail of your life story and now mirrors it. To be tra pped in
your story and trapped in y our body are the same thin g. Your
brain has been shaped every minute since you were born, and it
has communicated everything you experience to the body’s fifty
trillion cells, which in turn pass the messages on to your DNA. Wholeness, then, isn’t just a mental shift. It’s a revolution in
the bodymind that undoes the past, beginning in the brain but
reaching out to liberate eve ry cell and influencing the genetic
activity in each cell. To see ho w this revolution occurs, let me go to
the heart of every story, which is time. H o w  t o  B e  T i m e l e s sThere was a period in infancy when your experience was
original and authentic. You were too young to interpret the world
on your own. All your development was occupied with the basics
of walk ing, talking, exploring the world, and so on. Let’s call this
the pre story period of life. W illiam Blake divided one group of
poems i nto “so ngs of innocence” and “songs of experience,” which
were a nonbiblical narrative  of the Fall from Grace. Like the
romantics who were to follow, and who idolized him, Blake
believed that the Fall didn’t occur to Adam and Eve; rather, it
happened to children as they  lost their innocence. The Fa ll was a
repeated experience generation after generation. What Blake saw in innocenc e was a fresh, simple, lyrical, and
joyous p erspective on the world. The tone is set in one of the most
famous songs of innocence, “The Lamb,” where you can read
infant  for lamb :
Little Lamb who made thee
Dost thou know who made thee
Gave thee life & bid thee feed,
By the stream & o’er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight,
Softest clothing wooly bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice. In c ontrast to this vision of  a childhood Eden, the son gs of
experience are  bitter and dar k, reflecting the hardship Blake knew
firsthand and saw all around him in eighteenth-century London. One fam ous poem, “A Poison Tree,” reimagines the tale of original
sin as the dark side of hum an nature, in verse that cou ld be a
nursery rhyme:
I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe:I told it not, my wrath did grow. And I watered it in fears,
Night & morning with my tears:
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles. And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright. And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine. And into my garden stole,
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning glad I see,
My foe outstretched beneath the tree. Even without the benefit of Blake’s vision, we have all
experienced th e transformati on from innocence to experience. All
it took was time. Nothing else was necessary as we learned the
standard interpretation of the world everyone around us accepted. A baby is never bored. He lo oks on the world with wond er. The
hours don’t hang heavy; deadlines don’t make a baby rush through
his day s. He has no hunger for distraction so that he can  escape
from himself. Being a visionary, Blake saw the possibility of liberation from
the fallen state, which he c alled “organized innocence. ” It’s a
brilliant phrase, because it im plies that a person’s experience can
be as original, authentic, and untainted as a baby’s while retaining
the org anized mind, a mind we must have to perform higher
functions as adults (which includes taking care of babies). Returning to innocence means embracing values like love and
creativity, which become more valued as we reach maturity. Yet
the years of m aturity make it more and more difficult to  journeyback to innocence. For all the countless people who yearn for what
it felt like to first fall in love, few find a way back. The culprit isn’t experience, because experience can still be
joyful and authentic at any tim e of life. The culprit is hidden in the
texture of our lives—it is time. I said above that be coming
embedded in the interpreted world (i. e., the spell/dream/illusion)
only needed time, nothing el se. By the same token, esca ping the
grip of time is the only way out. Far from being a mystica l notion,
you can be timeless right this minute—in fact, that’s the only way. For most people, the two words timeless  and eternal  seem
roughly the same. For religious believers in the Christian and
Muslim traditions, Heaven is  eternal, a place where time goes on
forever. For the nonreligious, time ends with physical death. In
both cases, however, ordinary clock time has ceased. But there are
problems with all these concepts, and if we go deeply into the
subject, time is very different from what we casually accept. Physics has had a lot to say about time, thanks to Eins tein’s
revolutionary concept that time isn’t constant but varies according
to the situation at hand. Traveling near the speed of light or
drawing near the massive gravitational pull of a black hole will
have a drastic impact on how  time passes. But let’s set r elativity
aside fo r a moment to consider how time works in human terms,
here and now. Each of us normally experiences three states of
time: ti me ticking on the clock when we are awake, time a s part of
the illus ion of having a dream, and the absence of time wh en we’re
asleep b ut not dreaming. Thi s tells us that time is tied to our state
of consciousness. We take it for granted that one kind of time—the one measured
by clock s—is real time, but th at’s not true. All three relationships
with time—wak ing, dreaming, and sleeping—are knowable only as
personal experiences. Time doesn’t exist outside human
awareness. Th ere is no absolute clock time “out there” in the
universe. Many  cosmologists would argue that time, as we know it
in our waking  state, entered the universe only at the big bang. What ca me bef ore the big ban g is probably inconceivable,  because
“before the big bang” has no meaning if time were born at the
instant the cosmos was born. If you go to the finest level of Nature,
to the vacuum  state from wh ich the quantum field emerged, thequalities of everyday existence, such as sight, sound, taste, touch,
and sm ell, no longer exist, and there is also a vanishing point
where three-dimensionality vanishes, along with time itself. What lies beyond the quant um horizon is purely a matt er of
conjecture. The precreated state of the universe can be modeled
almost any way you choose, as being multidimensional, infinitely
dimensional, or nondimensional. So it must be accepted that time
came out of the timeless and not just at the big bang. Everything
in the physical  universe winks in and out of existence at a rapid
rate of excitation here and now. The timeless is with us at every
second of our lives. Yet something looks fishy in that sentence, because the timeless
can’t be measured using a cl ock, so it makes no sense to say that
the timeless is with us “at ev ery second. ” Instead, the timeless is
with us, period. This world is timeless. There is no need to wait for
death or Heaven to prove that eternity is real. Once you acknowledge that t he timeless is with us, a question
naturally arise s: How is the timeless related to clock tim e. The
answer is that the two aren’t related. The timeless is absolute, and
since it can’t be measured by  clocks, it has no relative ex istence. How strange. The timeless is with us, yet we can’t relate to it. So of
what good is the timeless. To answ er this  question, we have to back up a bit. Clock  time
has no privileg ed position in reality. There is no reason  why it
should be elevated above dream time or the absence of  time in
dream

slaughtered. Many	of	the	drugs	added	to	animal	feed	are	undeclared,	and
residues	of	these	drugs	can	be	found	in	the	meat. One	study	that	examined
animal	feed	in	Northern	Ireland	showed	that	out	of	247	medicated	feeds,	35
percent	contained	undeclared	antimicrobials. Even	worse,	out	of	161	“un-
medicated”	feeds,	44	percent	were	found	to	contain	antimicrobials. The
contaminants	most	frequently	identified	included	chlortetracycline,
sulfonamides,	penicillin,	and	ionophores. 24
	Yes,	you	read	that	right—
penicillin. Who	knew	you	were	eating	one	of	the	strongest	antibiotics	available	with	your
Sunday	morning	bacon	and	eggs. Farms	also	use	a	range	of	antibiotics	to	get	their	chickens	to	market	weight

development	of	antibiotic-resistant	bacterial	strains. This	can	also	wipe	out	your
gut	flora—and	your	whole	health,	really. 25
	In	2011,	the	pharmaceutical	company
Pfizer
temporarily	suspended	use	of	the	poultry	drug
Roxarsone	after	US
Food
and	Drug	Administration	(FDA)	reports	showed	that	compounds	in	the	drug
could	break	down	into	inorganic	arsenic,	a	toxin	that	can	produce	skin	lesions,
respiratory	irritation,	and	several	types	of
cancer. Inorganic	arsenic	was	leaching
into	local	water	supplies	and	remaining	in	chicken	tissue	after	slaughter. 26
The	effects	of	chronic	low-arsenic	exposure	are	not	well	known,	but	studies
have	indicated	that	even	low-level	exposure	may	contribute	to	endocrine	and
cognitive	deficits. 27
	Although	use	of	Roxarsone	has	been	suspended,	there	are
several	other	similar	drugs	being	used	in	animal	production	that	have	the
possibility	of	exposing	consumers	to	toxic	forms	of	arsenic. Some	have	even
hypothesized	that	arsenic	can	be	linked	to	the	rise	in	autism	rates. 28
Clearly,	there	is	nothing	pretty	about	commercial	meat. If	and	when	you
choose	to	eat	animal	products,	look	for	items	that	are	organic,	grass-fed,	and
free	of	steroids	and	hormones. Ideally,	try	to	find	someone	who	sells	these
products	at	a	local	farmer’s	market	and	talk	to	him	or	her	about	how	the
animals	are	fed	and	treated	in	general. THE
ENVIRONMENTAL	IMPACT	OF	ANIMAL	AGRICULTURE
Eating	organic	meat	will	still	not	solve	the	major	detrimental	environmental	issues
of	animal	agriculture,	which	is
the
	leading	cause	of	deforestation,	water
consumption,	and	pollution;	it	is	also	responsible	for	more	greenhouse	gases	than
the	transportation	industry. Animal	agriculture	from	producing	meat,	chicken,
eggs,	and	fish	is	a	primary	driver	of	rainforest	destruction,	species	extinction,
habitat	loss,	topsoil	erosion,	ocean	“dead	zones,”	and	more. 29
	It’s	shocking	that	this
is	not	discussed	more,	but	hopefully	that	will	start	to	change. If	we	truly	care	about	the	environment,	the	most	impactful	thing	we	can	do	is	to
be	conscious	of	our	food	choices	and	the	impact	they	have	on	the	earth. The	choice
to	give	up	meat,	or	to	at	least	greatly	reduce	your	consumption,	will	make	for	a

John Quincy Adams is well but the house in which he lives at the
present time is becoming dilapidated. It’s tottering on its
foundations. Time and the seasons have nearly destroyed it. Its
roof is pretty worn out. Its walls are much shattered and tremb le

out of it soon. But he himself is quite well, quite well. —JOHN QUINCY  ADAMS

OceanofPDF.comINTRODUCTION

You cannot drink the word “water.” The formula H2O cannot float a ship. The word “rain” cannot get you wet. You must experience water or rain to
truly know what the words mean. Words themselves keep you several steps
removed from the experience. And so it is with everything that I write about in this book. These are
words that are meant to lead to the direct experience. If the words that I
write ring true, it is very likely that you will take the ideas presented here
and create your experience of them. I believe these principles and see them
working all the time and want to share my experience of how they have
worked for me. You too see, in your own life, essentially what you believe. If, for
example, you believe strongly in scarcity, think about it regularl y, and make
it the focus of your conversations, I am quite certain that you see a great
deal of it in your life. On the other hand, if you believe in happiness and
abundance, think only about them, talk about them with others, and act on
your belief in them, it is a very good bet that you are seeing what you
believe. Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, “Man’ s mind, stretched to a new idea,
never goes back  to its original dimension.” The principles that I write about
in this book may require you to stretch to new ideas. Should you take these
words and apply them to your life, you will feel the stretch marks in your
mind, and you will never again return to the being that you were before. The word “it” appears twice in the title of this book and refers both times
to what could be called personal  transformation. That transformation comes
with knowing deep within you that each and every human being is far more
than a physical body, and that the essence of being human includes the
ability to think and feel, to posse ss a higher consciousness, and to know that
there is an intell igence suffusing  all form in the universe. You are able to tap
into that invisibl e part of you, to use your mind in any way that you choose,
and to recognize that this is your essential humanity. Your humanness is not
a form or a body at all, but something much more divine, guide d by forces
that are always at work in the universe. The principles in this book start with the premise that you are a soul with
a body, rather than a body with a soul. That you are not a human beinghaving a spiritual experience, but rather a spiritual being having a human
experience. I have illustrated these principles with many experiences that
are a part of my own personal transformational journey to bring the
essential messag es home to you. I know that these principles are working in
the universe even as you sit and read these words. They are working
independent of your opinion about

 was being done on the
abdomen, he felt sensation for motion. On that day he had a very
loose motion and the bowels were cleared within a few minutes. At
noon and in the evening also he had clear motions. The next day
when Ranjitbhai came for rubbing. He was pleased to know that
there was 75% improvement. He continued the treatment for three
days more and was completely cured. 5. Permanent Constipation : Shri Keshavbhai Makanbhai is a
teacher in village Hajira, Surat. On the advice of his grandfather he
treated his three children with urine for their ailments. After this
incident he hppened to read my book which confirmed his faith in
urine therapy. He undertook urine treatment to get rid of his own
constant constipation. Here is his account of is cure:
111 started only with drinking urine on 1 0-4-59 and gradually
increased to 5 oz. a day till14-4-59 and gradually my constipation
disappeared. On 15-4-59 I took urine once in the morning only. I
was feeling very hungry indeed. My abdomen had became quite
soft. My chronic constipation was removed by the above treatment
Urine is the doctor of the farmers, my grandfather used to say. "Con:tant constipation had badly affected my bowles and at
times sv.!fling appeared. For this I started again urine treatment on
5-11-59 for 15 days and I feel myself quite free from it.11
G. Indigestion, Gas-trouble & Constipation : Shri Laljibhai H.
Patel, aged forty-three, is a resident of village Aslali near
Ahmedabad.· After two mounths of urine treatment on his own for
his ailments, he came to me with an acquaintance and narrated the
story of his experience :
"I had been suffering from mild asthma which has now
disappeared after urine treatment. Only faith and self-control are
required in this treatment. Lack of will power always failed in giving 118 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY
up the use of refined sugar and cigarettes. Had 1 left these two, 1
feel I would have attained benefit much earlier. "~uring the first 8 dyas, I took entire urine passed during the
day-t1me. After that lused to drink it only four times a day. In the
last ten days, I took it only once a day. As a result, there was much
impr?vement in my gas-trouble and constipation. With the rubbing
of unne, the colour of my skin became faire, the perspiration of the
soles stopped. Moreover, the pimples on the face due to heat also
disappeared. B_ackache also was no more. Now 1 can work a good
deal without any difficulty." Shri Laljibhai has mentioned in his account that he did not
o~serv~ the restrictions. This shows his humility and candour. 1
thmk h.1s carelessness in observing the restrictions is a warning to
others m that such carelessness is exhibited by nearly all patients. However, he had reaped the fruits of urine treatment. Had he
observed the restrictions, the disease would have been got rid of
within 8 days instead of one and a half month. After the completion of his treatment, Laljibhai came to me and
narrated an incident of his childhood. He said:
"When I w~s ten years old, blotches appeared on my entire body. · I felt much pam. An old Vaidya of my village suggested to my father
that blotches would disappear if I took urine of a donkey for four
days! My father knew well that I would not drink donkey's urine
as such. Next day, while going out he told me. that he was going to
Ahmedabad to fatch medicine for me. Under such a pretext, he gave
me donkey's urine which I took with grimaces. 1 took this'medicine'
for four days and as a result all the blotches disappeared and 1 was
completely cured. Later, I came to know that the'medicine' 1 had
taken was nothing but donkey's urine! In this way 1 have already
tasted the urine of a donkey. How then could 1 have nausea of
auto-urine?" 7. Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Gastric Trouble, etc. : Shri Babubhai
soni is a resident of Kapadvanj. He sent the book Water of Life to STOMACH DISEASES : 119
one of his friends. The latter after having gone through it decided to
try it on himself. He was 40 years old and suffered from acute
gas-trouble. Besides indigestion, he had a number of other
complaints. He was cured of all these troubles by the use of
auto-urine. Now he regularly does the urine massage and drinks
auto-urine once a day in the morining only. He thus enjoys sound
health. His son is · 30 years old. He was fatty and suffered from
indigestion and gas-trouble. He had been drinking urine regularly
and feels much improvement.. He says that whenever there is
discomfort in the body, a glass of urine always removes his
complaint immediately. 8. Gas-trouble and Constipation: Shri Jayantilal C. Shah lives in
Shamlani Pole,' Raipur, Ahmedabad. He has sent me the following
report on 24-9-59 of his cure :'
"I have gone through your book, Manav Mutra, given to me by
Shri Ambalal K. Patel, a store-superintendent in Ahmedabad
Municipal Corporation. Thereupon,· I decided to experiment on
myself. "Since long I suffered from gastric trouble and constipation and
sometimes I had pain on the left side of my stomach. Uneasiness
was constantly felt and occasionally I suffered from cold and cough. 1 began with a glass of urine early in the morning. From the next day
onwards 1 increased the quantity and frequency of drinking urine. I
took one glass of urine early in the morning. Form the next day
onwards I increased the quantity and frequency of drinking urine. I
took one glass of urine about three times a day and thus taking total
quantity of 12 to 14 oz. a day. Next day in the evening, I had two
loose motions with lots of gas coming out. This continued for five
days and then I had regular motions in the morning. After an
experiment of seven days, gas-trouble, constipation and severe ache
stopped altogether." 120 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY
9. Hydropsy: Shri Jayantilal C. Shah further writes:
11Many years ago, this treatment was adopted by Raj Vaidya of
Palanpur State to treat my cousin Shri Chandulal T. Shah, who
suffered from dropsy. Raj Vaidya had made him to fast on urine for
21 days. He drank his entire auto-urine passed during the day and
packs of urine were applied on abdomen. On the thired day he had
vomiting and loose motions and there through bile and water were
discharged from the stomach and the intestines. Within 21 days1
fast his abdomen became very 5oft and l.ight. At the end of the fast
he was given 5 khakharas with the water of butter~milk. This diet
continued for 15 months. Consequently, he became quite healthy
and strong.11
10. Experiment on Ulcer : Shri M. A. Noorani,(194. Nagdevi
Street, Bombay 3) presents a candid picture of allopathic treatment
resulting in innumerable difficulties and a heavy loss of money:
11My son was suffering from duodenal ulcer. There was severe
pain in the abdomen and he was operated in a hospital in 1950. In
may 1957, the pain revived. The patient was treated by good
number of doctors and Vaidyas one after another. Ultimately the
doctors expressed their helplessness and the patient was discharged
from the hospital. After that homoeopathic treatment was tried for
20 days but without any benefit. 11later a frined of mine brought another doctor who examined my
son and gave some hope. Accordin!IY the patient wills readmitted to
a hospital where also the doctors inj~,,~,;~to~~J!~Ji!'tif,j~~i:Y~f,;.,;,,:. medicines. The diet also was given through injections which cost Rs. · ·
60 per day. After five days the duodenal ulcer which was operated
in 1950 burst and my only dear son passed away on 31-8-157.11
Mr. Noorani then gave a positive picture of the same disease and
its urien cure :
1125 years ago, I also suffered from duodenal ulcer. I suffered pain
for 15 years. A_ large number of doctors were consulted during that
~ime. In spite of all this, the pain could not be controlled. In 1946, STOMACH DISEASES : 121
as a last resort, I underwent an operation

he	had	died	then. Startled	as	his	parents	were	by	the	boy’s	absolute	conviction,	they
assumed	that	he	was	exercising	his	imagination,	until	their	son	crossed	a
shadowy	line	and	began	to	name	people	and	dates. He	remembered	his	former
name	and	the	moment	when	a	Japanese	machine	gun	shot	his	plane	down. The	parents	tracked	down	the	incident	and	discovered	that	indeed	an
American	pilot	by	that	name	had	been	shot	down	in	the	manner	described;
survivors	in	the	Air	Force	attested	to	the	details	recalled	by	their	son. Such	recollections	are	more	common	in	India,	where	a	general	belief	in
reincarnation	removes	the	initial	shock	and	disbelief	that	might	lead	people	to
keep	such	stories	to	themselves. One	reads	in	the	news	of	children	who
demand	to	be	taken	to	a	nearby	village,	which	they	recall	vividly	as	their	last
home. Once	they	return,	it’s	not	unknown	for	the	child	to	be	reunited	with
relatives	or	even	former	parents. Psychologists	inform	us	that	this	intense
interest	in	former	incarnations	is	temporary;	beyond	age	ten	the	old	memories
fade	and	lose	their	obsessive	quality. It’s	as	if	some	souls	take	a	while	to	get
adjusted	to	their	new	place	in	time	and	space. The	most	detailed	study	of	such	children	comes	from	the	psychiatrist	Ian
Stevenson	at	the	University	of	Virginia. Working	from	more	than	220	case
studies	of	children	who	vividly	remember	past	lives—the	number	is
increasing	all	the	time—Stevenson	discovered	that	the	most	startling	are	those
who	carry	physical	characteristics	from	one	lifetime	to	another. There	are	14examples	of	children	who	remember	being	shot	to	death	in	a	previous	life	and
whose	bodies	show	a	scar	as	if	a	bullet	had	entered	the	body,	with	an
opposing	exit	scar. One	child	born	in	Turkey	had	vivid	recollections,	almost
from	the	moment	of	being	able	to	speak,	of	a	notorious	criminal	who	had
been
	cornered	by	the	police	and	committed	suicide	rather	than	be	captured. The	criminal	had	shot	himself	under	the	chin,	and	this	child	had	a	round	red
scar	in	exactly	the	same	place. Stevenson	was	curious	about	an	exit	scar,	and
when	he	parted	the	child’s	hair	he	found	a	round,	hairless	scar	on	the	scalp	at
the	top	of	the	head. Children	who	remember	past	lives	show	a	marked	similarity	in	behavior,
according	to	Carol	Bowman,	another	researcher	in	the	field. They	speak	of
their	past	life	very	early	on,	sometimes	from	the	age	of	two,	and	typically
they	stop	around	age	seven. The	children	speak	matter-of-factly	about	dying. They	may	be	frightened	of	certain	things	associated	with	violent	death,	but
usually	their	affect	isn’t	emotional. They	often	sound	like	small	adults	and
have	quite	detailed	memories. They	can	make	startling	comments,	such	as	the
following	reported	to	Dr.	Stevenson	by	various	children:
“You’re	not	my	mommy/daddy.”
“I	have	another	mommy/daddy.”
“When	I	was	big,	I	…	[used	to	have	blue	eyes/had	a	car,	etc. ].”
“That	happened	before	I	was	in	Mommy’s	tummy.”
“I	have	a	[wife/husband/children].”
“I	used	to	…	[drive	a	truck/live	in	another	town,	etc. ]”
“I	died	…	[in	a	car	accident/after	I	fell,	etc. ]”
“Remember	when	I	…	[lived	in	that	other	house/was	your	daddy,	etc. ]”
Such	children	talk	just	as	matter-of-factly	about	the	afterlife. About	half	of
the	220	studied	by	Stevenson	said	that	they	didn’t	go	directly	to	heaven	but
had	to	wait	in	another	place	first,	which	corresponds	to	the	“crossing	over”
phase. They	report	making	decisions	about	their	next	lifetime	once	they	got	to
heaven,	choosing	a	new	family	and	new	challenges. As	one	girl	put	it,
“Heaven	isn’t	easy. You	have	to	work	there.”
Because	they	are	often	so	young,	children	who	report	past	lives	are	the
strongest	evidence	that	reincarnation	isn’t	just	a	cultural	artifact. There	is	also
the	convincing	matter	of	convergence:	all	three	categories	of	witnesses—
children	who	remember	past	lives,	people	who	have	had	an	NDE,	and	people
who	have	experienced	being	out	of	their	bodies	generally—agree	on	how	the
afterlife	works. Out-of-body	experiences	are	much	more	common	than	we	suppose,	and	a
few	people	have	mastered	them	to	the	point	that	they	become	“astral	tourists.”
F.	Holmes	Atwater	of	the	Monroe	Institute	is	one	of	several	researchers	in	thefield,	and	his	subjects	often	report	experiences	that	take	them	into	the	Akashic
field,	including	those	domains	we	associate	with	dying. What	they	see	is
completely	consistent	with	NDEs	and	children	who	remember	a	past	life. One
child	told	her	parents	that	God	doesn’t	speak	in	words	or	in	a	language	like
English	or	Spanish. This	is	consistent	with	the	esoteric	belief	that
communication	takes	place	on	the	astral	planes	by	telepathy. People	returning
from	near-death	also	say	that	what	they	heard	or	learned	came	to	them
without	speech,	often	through	instantaneous	insight	or	revelation. Are	these	children	exceptional	because	they	remember	a	past	life,	or	are
the	rest	of	us	abnormal	in	not	remembering	who	we	once	were? I	think
neither	answer	is	right,	exactly. The	function	of	memory	is	closely	attached	to
strong	emotions. Few	people	can	remember	what	they	had	for	dinner	on	a
Tuesday	last	month,	but	if	that	dinner	was	the	occasion	for	proposing
marriage	to	someone	you	loved,	it	can	be	recalled	for	years. Similarly,	these
children	seem	to	remember	being	wrenched	from	their	old	life,	and	this
powerfully	negative	memory	carries	over	beyond	the	boundary	of	death. Dr.
Stevenson	records	one	instance	where	a	child	was	born	with	a	pattern	of	red
dots	on	his	chest	and	h


will be made, there will be a change of ways, life will be lived properly. The
psychology of such unwilling sacrifice is quite dif ferent from that of the
willing sacrifice. There are moments and seasons in one’ s life when genuine sacrifice of
the most valued thing is essential for further growth. If this sacrifice is not
made willingly, that is, consciously and with full conscious suf fering of the
loss, the sacrifice will occur unconsciously. One then will not sacrifice to
growth, but be sacrificed to growth gone wrong. By the same token, subsequent psychological and spiritual development is
capable of reversing the disease process. It’ s as though cancer ’s ener gy is
channeled into self-discovery, and the tumor is attacked by the immune
system. The tumor is now an estranged and unnecessary part. It’ s almost as
though the individual is reborn and rejects the old self, and its disease,
thereby becoming able to identify the tumor as something distinct and
separate from the new self. The change is strikingly similar to discoveries inrecent work with multiple-personality patients: One personality may be
diabetic, while the other is not. Aller gies and drug sensitivities may be
present in one personality but not in others. If one personality burns the
body with a cigarette, the mark may disappear when the other personality is
in control and reappear when the first personality reappears. Similarly,
when a patient with a physical illness makes a thorough and positive
personality change, the body’ s defenses may now eliminate the disease,
which is not part of the new self. OceanofPDF. comII
EMBODYING THE MIND

The world is not divine play, it is divine fate. That ther e are world, man, the
human person, you and I, has divine meaning. Creation—happenes to us, burns into us, changes us, we tr emble and

OceanofPDF. comBeginning the Journey
A patient’ s effort to take responsibility and participate in medical choices
must begin while he or she is still fighting the shock of the diagnosis and
trying to mobilize the will to live. As discussed in Chapter 2, it is the
doctor ’s duty to try immediately to for ge a bond of trust by learning and
accepting the patient’ s beliefs, conscious and unconscious. The quickest
way to develop patients’  trust and independence is simply to be human, to
share their pain, and avoid playing the role of a mechanic-lifesaver. But,
because so many doctors are caught up in that role, patients often must help
change them. Toward this end, I advise patients to insist on the following
Patient’ s Bill of Rights, in the form of an open letter to physicians:

Dear Doctor:
Please don’ t conceal the diagnosis. We both know I came to you to learn
if I have cancer or some other serious disease. If I know what I have, I
know what I am fighting, and there is less to fear. If you hide the name and
the facts, you deprive me of the chance to help myself. When you are
questioning whether I should be told, I already know. You may feel better if
you don’ t tell me, but your deception hurts me. Do not tell me how long I have to live. I alone can decide how long I
will live. It is my desires, my goals, my values, my strengths, and my will
to live that will make the decision. Teach me and my family about how and why my illness happened to
me. Help me and my family to live now. Tell me about nutrition and my
body’ s needs. Tell me how to handle the knowledge and how my mind and
body can work together. Healing comes from within, but I want to combine
my strength with yours. If you and I are a team, I will live a longer and
better life. Doctor, don’ t let your negative beliefs, your fears, and your prejudices
affect my health. Don’ t stand in the way of my getting well and exceeding
your expectations. Give me the chance to be the exception to your statistics. Teach me about your beliefs and therapies and help me to incorporate
them into mine. However, remember that my beliefs are the most important. What I don’ t believe in won’ t help me. You must learn what my disease means to me—death, pain, or fear of
the unknown. If my belief system accepts alternative therapy and not
recognized therapy, do not desert me. Please try to convert my beliefs, and
be patient and await my conversion. It may come at a time when I am
desperately ill and in great need of your therapy. Doctor, teach me and my family to live with my problem when I am not
with you. Take time for our questions and give us your attention when we
need it. It is important that I feel free to talk with you and question you. I
will live a longer and more meaningful life if you and I can develop a
significant relationship. I need you in my life to achieve my new goals. HELPING P ATIENTS MAKE CHOICES
I always try to get patients to see standard medical treatments—such as
radiation, chemotherapy, and sur gery—as ener gy that can heal them. They
buy time during which I can help the patient find the will to live, change,
and heal. Many of the disagreements over the worth of alternate therapies
arise because some people heal themselves no matter what external aids
they choose, as long as they have hope and some control over the therapy. I
support them as long as a patient has chosen them with a positive
conviction, not out of fear. When a patient says, “I’m scared to death of
surgery” and therefore chooses something else, I can’ t support that choice. Affirmation aids the body, fear is destructive. Treatment chosen out of fear
is unlikely to be helpful. I try to get patients to understand that the body  heals, not the therapy. All healing is scientific. At a recent conference, someone told me he knew
someone on a macrobiotic diet, someone else on a diet exactly the opposite,
and a third person on chemotherapy and radiation. All three got well, and
this person couldn’ t understand how the body could accomplish this or how
the treatments made any sense. But the body can utilize any form of ener gy
for healing—even Krebiozen or plain water—as long as the patient believes
in it. Let’s say I recommended eating three peanut butter sandwiches a day to
cure cancer. Some people would get well and claim it was the peanut butter
that did it. Then even more people would have hope, eat peanut butter, and
get better, too. But we know it’ s not the peanut butter. It’s their hope and the
changes they produce in their lives while they’re on the new therapy. The most important thing is to pick a therapy you believe in and
proceed with a positive attitude. Each person must chart his own course. One may want a comprehensive nutritional supplement program, while
another thinks taking dozens of pills a day is too much of a nuisance, and it
becomes counterproductive. Some can just “leave their troubles to God”
and be healed. Others need what I call the “football coach” method, in
which the patient plans every detail. I thought of the phrase while working
with Eileen, a patient who saw a hypnotherapist regularly, picked the date
for sur gery herself, and hired private-duty nurses. She made sure she was in
control of the situation and ready for every eventuality. She is alive and
well today, having recently celebrated a year cancer -free anniversary with a
big party at her house. Her message to others with cancer is, “Here’ s the
information. Go and do it. ”
Since cancer patients typically feel little control over their lives, to the
point where their own cells are in revolt, the mere fact of making a choice
can itself be a turning point. For Herbert Howe that moment came when he
decided to stop chemotherapy because it was making him too sick. His
oncologist told him he was crazy and would soon die. That angered Howe
so much that he wanted to hit his oncologist. Instead he went out and started
jogging. Since then, he has practically made a career out of exercise—
running, rowing, climbing mountains, and in general putting all his ener gy
into life and living. Seven years later he is free of disease. Training patients in meditation is one of the best ways to help them past
their fear to choices based on their own beliefs. This was dramatically borne
out by the experience of Bruce, a family therapist who took up meditation
after hearing one of my talks. Bruce had become addicted to opiates and
alcohol after using them for the pain of recovery from a skiing accident. He
developed severe liver disease and a portacaval shunt was recommended, to
allow the blood to bypass the diseased liver. While meditating, he heard an
inner voice saying, “Y ou have to turn the tide. ” The voice later gave him a
four-point program:
1. A week of intravenous vitamin C. 2. Daily meditation. 3. Consultation with a nutritionist. 4. Use of a computer. At this time Bruce knew nothing about the value of intr


 without taking water. If this is carried once in half hourly, twice or thrice surely within 2–3
hours there will be complete relief from running nose. ose patients who
are having the habit of anti histamines for such complaints can avoid it by
this practice. e reason behind this is, Prithuka (Sanskrit name of beaten rice) is
possessing Sthira (stable), Rooksha (dry) and Grahi (absorbent) properties. Due to this it pacies running nose.2. 3. 4. 5. 6.2–3 pinch of Turmeric powder is mixed with honey and licked half hourly. is relieves cold associated with cough also. As Turmeric is immuno modulator and acts as Anti microbial, running
nose caused by allergic reactions is pacied eﬀectively. As per Ayurveda turmeric is vishahara (anti poisonous) and Shothahara
(anti inammatory) and hence this action is found. In addition honey
facilitates this action by its adaptogenic eﬀect (yogavahi). Dry ginger is made into ne powder and mixed with rock salt. 1–2 pinch
of this powder is taken 3–4 times a day. Running nose caused due to the
intake of cold items like ice creams, curd, buttermilk, guava, fruit juice etc
are relived without other medicaments. As ginger has deepana (carminative) and Pachana (digestive) and
Vatanulomana (anti atulent) eﬀect, this is possible. Rock salt facilitates
this action by channelizing the drugs (anupravana bhava). e petioles of Jackfruit are collected (10–15)  and made into decoction
(Kashaya). 2–3 ml of honey is added to this and taken. is helps to relieve even severe condition of running nose associated
with throat irritation. (But, do not practice this home remedy if you have
constant anorexia and tastelessness). As jack fruit petiole is possesses potent stable (Sthira) property it arrests
cold and running nose. Inhalation of the fumes of turmeric alone or in combination of Mustard,
Tulasi leaves (Holy basil) is eﬀective against severe running nose. Antimicrobial, anti histamine, decongestant etc properties of the
combined drugs facilitates this action. 15–20 seeds of Brinjal (Vrintaka) are taken, crushed well and ne powder. is is used as errhine (nasal drops) twice or thrice in a gap of 15–20
minutes.As these seeds are strong decongestants desired eﬀect is obtained from
this practice. ( Do not use this medication for children).174. Abscess Home
Remedies – Ayurveda
Details
Y
Recurrent abscesses can be eﬀectively managed with Ayurvedic treatment. Abscess home remedy mentioned below can also be very eﬀective, along with
the treatment for quick relief from abscess. Drumstick Leaves –
Sushruta Samhita – Chikitsa sthana 16/31
Master Sushruta has explained that the drum stick leaves powder or drum
stick leaves decoction prepared by adding 10 grams of powder to two glass of
water, heated and reduced to one glass, ltered, should be consumed. Its
powder should also be used to make a paste with water or pure honey and
should be applied over the abscess. is is especially benecial in early stages of
abscess. Master Sushruta also explains that the red variety of Drumstick leaves
give better results. Drumstick should also be used frequently in the form of
drumstick leaves soup, drumstick leaves recipe etc. Khichdi (semisolid food preparation) prepared with barley, mustard, and
drumstick root can be used as abscess home remedy according to Master
Sushruta. Once the abscess is opened and pus is drained out, the area should be treated
as wound.For this purpose, regular washing with a decoction (kashaya) prepared by
adding one spoon of each of neem, curry leaves, turmeric and triphala powder
into two glass of water, heated and reduced to one glass, ltered. is
decoction can be used in warm condition. But once prepared decoction cannot
be used for the next tim e.
Even a paste prepared with the above said herbs can also be applied under
sterile conditions. Neem and turmeric being anti-microbial and Triphala being astringent, this
combination will help to stop the bleeding and will cause quick wound
healing.175. Ayurvedic Home
Remedy to Improve
Digestion
Y
As per Ayurveda, indigestion and low digestion strength is the cause for many
diseases. Hence, improving digestion strength is the rst thing that is done
before starting any Panchakarma treatment. Improving digestion is also helpful
in treating conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, low body weight, cough, cold
etc. Let us learn a very simple home remedy for this purpose. Home Remedy to Improve Digestion –
What you need? Saindhava Lavana – Rock Salt – 5 grams
Haritaki – Harad – Terminalia chebula – 5 grams
Pippali – Long pepper fruit – Piper longum – 5 g rams
Chitraka – Leadwort – Plumbago zeylanica – 5 grams
How to make? Take the ne powder of all the ingredients. Mix thoroughly. It is administered
in a dose of half to one gram. Indications –
IndigestionAnorexia
Low Digestion strength
Lowered metabolism
Weight loss
Dose – Half to one gram once or twice a day, after food with water. How long to take? For 2–4 weeks. Shelf life (expiration date)? Because all are powders and especially rock salt tends to capture moisture
pretty easily, this combination should be stored in air tight container. Once
after preparing, it can be stored under hygienic conditions for up to 2–3
months. How does it work? Long pepper is one among Trikatu (three pungent) group of spices.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        People with sensitive stomach, gastritis and who are Pitta body type – better
to avoid, or use curds in place of buttermilk in this remedy, after consulting
Ayurvedic doctor. It may not be eﬀective in bleeding hemorrhoids. How It Acts. It is one of the best home remedies for hemorrhoids. Chitraka and buttermilk – both are hot in nature. ey both help to correct
digestive enzymes, improve liver functions. is remedy helps to reduce the
size of the pile mass, decrease mucous discharge and relieve pain. 150. Home Remedy for
Bloating and Gas Trouble
Using Buttermilk
Y
Here we are making home remedy for bloating and gas trouble using three
powerful Ayurvedic ingredients. is traditional Ayurvedic home remedy is
good for bloating, mild constipation and to improve digestion. Ingredients
Rock Salt – 1 Pinch It is a powerful ingredient to improve digestion and to
relieve bloating. Haritaki – Fruit Powder – 1 Teaspoonful – Haritaki botanical name is
Terminalia chebula, Chebulic myrobalan in English and Harad in Hindi. It is
one among of Triphala group of herb. It is useful to improve digestion, to
relieve bloating, gas trouble. It also relieves mild constipation and used for
rejuvenation purposes. Hence it is an ingredient in Triphala, which is used for
rejuvenation. Buttermilk – 100 ml: Buttermilk is good for digestion. It is especially good at
night. It is slightly hot in nature and balances coldness of night. Hence it is
better to avoid curd at night and use buttermilk instead. How to make. Add 1 pinch of rock salt and one spoon of Haritaki powder to buttermilk
Stir well. Take it after food once or two times a day. Taste: Astringent, salty and slight bitter. What benets to expect. Relief from bloating, if used for up to 1–2 w eeks. Improves digestion
Relieves mild constipation
Useful for those who feel as if they have not emptied their intestines and feel
heaviness
Who cannot use it. Since it co ntains salt ingredient, people with high BP should avoid this. As a general rule, it is better to use this home remedy only after consulting
your doctor. 1. 2. 3. 4. 151. Cinnamon and Honey
Benets
Y
Cinnamon (bark powder) and honey, both are widely used in numerous
Ayurvedic herbal preparations and Ayurvedic home remedies. Cinnamon is
used in Ayurvedic herbal powder mixes, tablets, herbal jams, etc. While Honey is used extensively in As


 of iron and magnesium. Iron is the most active element
in the body, and it is necessary that it be renewed more frequently
than any other. The liver and spleen are the storage places of iron,
where it is stored for any sudden demand that may be made upon the
44 body, for example, the rapid formation of red blood corpuscles in the
case of a heavy loss of blood. The iron is stored in the liver for the
particular purpose, among others, of furnishing mineral elements to
any part of the body in an emergency, as in the case of a hemorrhage;
also in the event that the food eaten does not contain the necessary
quantity of this element in vital organic form. The storage of iron in the spleen acts as an electric storage battery
where the blood is recharged with the necessary electricity for its
proper functions.The magnesium in lettuce has exceptional vitalizing
powers, particularly in the muscular tissues, brain, and nerves. Vital
organic salts of magnesium are cell builders, especially of the nerve
system and of the tissues of the lungs. They also assist in maintaining
the normal fluidity of the blood and other functions without which it
would be impossible for metabolism to operate properly. As magnesium salts can operate efficiently only if there is
sufficient calcium present, the combination of these elements in the
lettuce makes this food exceedingly valuable. When combined with carrot juice, the properties of lettuce juice
are intensified by the addition of Vitamin A in the carrot and also the
valuable sodium therein which assists in maintaining the calcium in
the lettuce in constant solution until utilized by the body. Lettuce contains more than 38% potassium, 15% calcium, more
than 5% iron, and about 6% magnesium. Lettuce also contains more than 9% phosphorus, which is one of
the principle constituents of the brain, and an ample supply of sulphur,
which is one of the component parts of the hemoglobin of the blood,
acting therein as an oxidizing agent. Many nervous afflictions are
due chiefly to these two elements, sulphur and phosphorus, taken in
inorganic form as in cereals and meat. Together with silicon, which lettuce contains more than 8%,
sulphur and phosphorus are essential in the proper maintenance and
development of the skin, the sinews, and the hair. When one consumes
excessive amount of these elements in an inorganic form, i.e. cereals
and devitalized foods, the roots of the hair do not obtain their proper
nourishment: hence one of the reasons for hair loss. Drinking a daily abundance of juice composed of carrot, lettuce,
and spinach, will furnish food to the roots and nerves of the hair,
thereby stimulating growth. Hair tonics in this respect are of little or
no value except that they furnish massaging for the scalp.They cannot
feed the hair but merely stimulate the action of the nerves and blood
45 vessels and so assist the proper food in reaching the hair roots through
the blood stream. Another efficient juice combination to help the growth of hair
and restore it to its natural color is carrot, lettuce, green pepper, and
fresh alfalfa juice. (See preceding section on alfalfa juice.) When making juice from lettuce for definite therapeutic purposes,
it is best to use the leaves that are of the darker shade of green, omitting
those which are inside the head of lettuce and have remained white,
as the former are much richer in chlorophyll and other vital important
elements than the latter. The juice of lettuce leaves has been a great boon and relief to
those suffering from tuberculosis and from gastric disturbances. It is
also a valuable diuretic. Because of its richness in iron and other valuable vital elements,
lettuce juice has been given to infants with carrot juice, with highly
satisfactory results whether they were breast or bottle-fed. COS or ROMAINE LETTUCE JUICE
Although a member of the lettuce family, Romaine Lettuce has
an entirely different chemical composition from that of Head lettuce. It originated in the Island of Cos, in the Greek Archipelago, and in
Great Britain it is known as "Cos Lettuce.,,
The juice of Romaine Lettuce, with the addition of a small amount
of kelp (seaweed) has been found to contain properties conducive to
helping the activity of the Adrenal Cortex in its function of secreting
its hormone, Adrenaline, to keep the body in balance. Its particular value is in its rich sodium content which is 60%
higher than its potassium content. This makes it one of the most
beneficial juices for conditions affecting the Adrenal Glands. For
instance a person with Addison's Disease requires the maximum
amount of vital organic sodium with a relatively low percentage of
potassium to compensate for Adrenal Cortex hormone deficiency. This specifically proportioned juice is therefore essentially very
relative to just such a person's needs. In the treatment of Addison's Disease, we have seen some
remarkable results when an ample supply of fresh-raw juices was
used daily in which this chemical composition more or less prevailed. The diet was held rigidly to the elimination of all concentrated starches
and sugars, all meat of every kind, and all vegetables containing an
excess of potassium over sodium. This narrowed the choice of
vegetables and their juices to: beets, celery, Romaine lettuce, spinach,
46 and Swiss chard. Also included in the diet were fresh pomegranate,
strawberries, tomatoes, and figs, honey, almonds, and beechnuts. Fresh-raw carrot juice was added to all or any of the above juices
with much benefit. In some extreme cases, some fresh-raw goat s
milk with carrot juice was found helpful. On this basis, with a regular cleansing program by means of
colonic irrigations and enemas excellent results were obtained. MUSTARD GREENS JUICE
Mustard greens are valuable in salads. The high content of mustard
oil, when the greens are made into juice, may be irritating to the
alimentary tract and to the kidneys. Mustard greens contain a high
percentage of oxalic acid. They should therefore never be eaten when
cooked. Read the chapter on Oxalic Acid. Although the juice of mustard greens, by themselves, may cause
some discomfort, nevertheless, a small quantity in combination with
carrot, spinach and turnip juice has been used with much benefit to
help dissolve hemorrhoids. As in watercress, the sulphur and phosphorus percentage is very
high in the mustard greens, and their effect on the system is almost
identical to that of watercress. See Watercress. ONION JUICE
Somewhat milder than garlic, with a less pungent aroma, onions
and their juices do, without question, build us up physically to a
remarkable degree, while at one and the same time they tear us down
socially. What we have said about garlic applies quite fully to the onion
and its juice, bearing in mind that what may be termed the repellent
atmosphere of the garlic and its juice is somewhat subdued in the
case of the onion. PAPAYA JUICE
While papaya is definitely a fruit and not a vegetable, it is pertinent
to refer to it here because of its remarkable therapeutic qualities. Until recently this fruit was practically unknown in the North as
it is strictly a tropical fruit. Like a melon or a squash in shape, it matures in many sizes from
less than one pound to as much as 20 and more pounds each. 47 Its particular qualification for our attention is its juice. When the
green fruit is triturated (pulverized) and pressed it is found to contain
a principle known as papain, which has much the same digestive effect
as pepsin in our digestive processes. It also contains fibrin, a principle
rarely found except in the body of man and animals. This fruit is
readily digestible in gastric and pancreatic juices and is especially
valuable in the coagulation or clotting of blood, either superficial or
internal. The green, unripe papaya has much more active papain enzymes
than the ripe (this activity being somewhat dissipated in the ripening
processes). The juice of the green papaya has helped correct intestinal
disorders, including ulcerous and more serious conditions in an
incredibly short time. We have frequently seen the crushed pulp, including the skin, of
the green papaya applied as a poultice to serious lacerations and the
following day hardly more than the scar was apparent. We had a finger
seriously crushed in a machine, and the application of a similar poultice
left the finger usable within two or three days. As a juice, both the green and the ripe papaya are unsurpassed as
a remedy to help most afflictions of the body. Truly, Nature has given
us in this fruit the most comprehensive means of first-aid in both
internal and external ills. PARSLEY JUICE
Parsley is an herb. Raw parsley juice is one of the most potent of the juices. It should
never be taken alone in quantities of more than one or two ounces at
a time unless mixed with a sufficient quantity of carrot or other raw
vegetable juices such as celery, lettuce, or spinach, and even then, in
not too great a proportion in relation to the volume of other juices. Raw parsley juice has properties which are essential to oxygen
metabolism in maintaining the normal action of the adrenal and thyroid
glands.


 or foods and food supplements
derived from the wrong parts of plants, like their sugars, their oils (some of
which we solidify and convert to trans fats! ), and their refined flours
without their outer bran layers. Then we add salt to produce unhealthy
products that find their way to store shelves as convenience foods. As a result, we’ve been getting fatter and suf fering from an ever -
increasing number and variety of ailments and life-threatening diseases. America now has the highest per capita health care costs in the world, while
ignoring its 48 million citizens who lack medical insurance. Consuming the
right kind of plant-based foods can go a long way toward solving not only
our own personal health concerns, but our society’ s ills as well. There is
simply nothing that can so profoundly af fect our healing as eating fruits and
vegetables. How can we drive this message home? That is where Rip Esselstyn
comes in. What a story he has to tell! It’ s personal, it’ s inspiring, and it’ s
lifesaving. A world-class athlete and a firefighter, Rip managed to convert a
firehouse full of committed meat eaters to a plant-based diet, and in the
process improved everything from their weight to their blood pressure and
cholesterol. From there he branched out to a pilot group of fifty-eight
volunteers, all of whom achieved the same stunning results as the
firefighters—an average weight loss of ten pounds and a dramatic decline in
cholesterol—in a mere four weeks.Best of all, those who completed the program reported feeling so much
better—with improvements to conditions such as kidney stones,
constipation, and low ener gy—that few felt tempted to resume their old way
of eating. I am not surprised by Rip’ s accomplishments and motivations. He comes
from an extraordinary line of medical men and women. The Esselstyns and
the Criles (his mother ’s side) have served the public good for generations,
and they know as much about medicine as any family in America. I find it
fascinating that Rip, representing the first generation of the mer ger of these
two brilliant medical families, has chosen to share his experiences in what I
believe to be the most important health message to come upon the public
horizon in many years. I first met Rip in 1991 at a medical conference or ganized and hosted by
his famous father, Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., who was sharing for the
first time his dramatic results on reversing and curing heart disease. He
boldly named the conference “The First National Conference on the
Elimination of Coronary Heart Disease” and had invited other researchers
to present our own findings. Rip was only able to attend part of the
conference, because of a prior commitment to compete in the Escape from
Alcatraz Triathlon, but he had stopped by to get a sense of what his father
and others were doing. I met Rip on three other occasions while I was
lecturing in Austin, Texas. On one of those occasions, he introduced me to
his Engine 2 firehouse buddies, and I sensed a remarkable story emer ging
that is now being told in these pages. I have spent five decades working as an experimental research scientist
in the field of diet and health. I believe in the message that Rip Esslestyn is
advocating and that his father and other clinicians have been adopting with
great success in their clinics. I was not drawn to this view by any particular
ideology but because of the experimental research done in my laboratory
(mostly at Cornell University). Our findings were often challenging, even
difficult to accept at times, because my background, both personally and
professionally, ran counter to what I was seeing. I was raised on a dairy
farm, milking cows, and my family lived of f the land. As our evidence accumulated, it became ever more impressive. John
McDougall, MD, for years has been treating people, with great success, for
a variety of illnesses with the plant-based diet that Rip recommends in this
book. Recently, he and other physicians have cured most Type 2 diabeticsand, in many cases, have greatly reduced insulin needs even for Type 1
patients. Rip’ s father, Caldwell B. Esslestyn, Jr., MD, reverses and even
cures advanced heart disease with this diet. Roy Swank, MD, followed
multiple sclerosis patients for thirty-four years, using very much this same
type of diet, and concluded that “about 95 percent of MS patients
[diagnosed early], remained only mildly disabled for about thirty years.”
I have been lecturing extensively around the country and have heard
from many cancer patients that they believe that they are cured or at least
are in remission because of using a plant-based diet. This belief is borne out
by the findings in our extensive experimental animal studies, in which we
could turn on and of f cancer development by relatively modest nutritional
means, using a model of this same diet. Obesity can be controlled, migraine
headaches reduced, arthritic conditions alleviated—the list goes on and on. The idea that Rip Esselstyn elaborates in this book is “spot-on,” as my
associates across the big pond say. I predict that this book will be as ef fective as any on the market in
conveying an exceptionally important health message in a most personal
way. Just read it, and you will see what I mean. T. Colin Campbell, PhD

ENGINE 2
The evening of January 5, 2000, was bitterly cold, a night no one in
the Austin, Texas, Fire Department will soon for get. At the time I was
working at Central Station, the city’ s largest. Central was called “The
Animal House” because we firefighters were notorious for our bizarre
antics, from launching water balloons at passersby from the second-story
rooftop to breaking rookies down until they burst into tears. There were no
barriers and no boundaries. The weather was bad when we went to bed in the firehouse dorm that
night, but by early morning it was worse: A freezing rain was falling, and
temperatures were heading toward record lows. Then, at 4:20 a.m., a heavy
box alarm sounded. (The word “box” refers to a home; a regular box alarm
signals that a single-family house is on fire, but when a heavy box alarm
sounds, it means a fire at a lar ger building, such as an apartment complex.) Just as at the start of an athletic competition, all my senses went into
overdrive—my heart rate jumped, my stomach churned, my mind raced. Normally I’d leap right out of bed, jump into my bunker pants, and pull up
my suspenders, but because I was going to be driving this shift, I had only
enough time to stumble into my station pants and cotton shirt before sliding
down the eighteen-foot brass fire pole. I was also preparing for the worst. The real burners generally occur
between midnight and 6 a.m., when people have gone to sleep but a
stovetop is left burning, an electrical wire shorts out, or a smoldering
cigarette butt ignites. The fire turned out to be at the Lake Shore Apartments, two-and-a-half
miles from the station. Sirens blaring, we pulled up to the scene, the thirdengine in. (Each arriving engine has a specific duty. The first engine attacks
the fire, the second backs up the first, and the third hooks up to a hydrant to
bring an unlimited supply of water to the first.) Just as we were arriving, we heard a radio message from Engine 22,
announcing that they had put out the fire. For a moment we relaxed, and
from where we stood, looking up at the building’ s second-floor balcony, the
problem seemed to be nothing more than a little hibachi fire. Then my good friend, fellow Engine 1 firefighter Josh Miller, said, “Rip,
put your bunker gear on.” I didn’ t understand why he’d told me that,
because things seemed to be under control. Perhaps he’d had a premonition
—all firefighters have them—so I listened, scuttled around to the driver ’s
side compartment, and donned my full gear. Sure enough, moments later that little fire exploded into enormous
flames—lar ger than I had ever seen. They climbed up the side of the
building, curled onto its top, and engulfed the roof. Scared and nervous, I approached the fire, my pulse pounding. The next
few minutes were a blur; time warps under severe pressure. I remember that
a firefighter named Alphonso Dellert, known as Ax, stepped in front of me,
and as he did, I heard the kind of bloodcurdling screams you hear only in
movies: “Help me, I’m burning up!” I wasn’ t sure I’d heard correctly, but
then the cry came again: “Help me, I’m burning!”
I sensed this scream was coming from the apartment with the balcony—
but how could someone still be alive inside that inferno? The flames were
rising even higher and their radiant heat was overwhelming, even from two
