Tissue salts in biochemistry are the inorganic elements of the body. In 1665
an Englishman named Robert Hooke discovered what was called “the cell.”
In 1838 and 1839 the German scientists Matthias Schleiden and Theodore
Schwann, respectively, unfolded the cell theory. In 1850, Virchow unfolded
his own version of the biochemical theory of cellular treatment. Moleschott of
Rome and W.H. Schuessler of Oldenburg (Germany) focused upon what
they called inorganic chemistry, or biochemic treatment of disease through
tissue salts.
Tissue salts, known as cell salts, are considered the workers and builders
of the body, and are found mostly in the blood and tissues. Water and
organic substances are the inert matter used by salts (ions) in building and
maintaining the cells of the body.
The actions of cell salts inspire fluids, cells and tissues to respond,
causing polarization or depolarization. This leads to the building (anabolism)
and/or tearing down (catabolism) of cells. Plants take up elemental minerals
and metals like calcium, sodium and sulfur from the earth through their root
systems. Then, through plant physiology (mainly by photosynthesis) they
convert these basic elements into salts so that the human body can absorb
them and use them.

MODULE 3.7
Phytochemicals
“Phyto” means “plant.” Phytochemicals refer to the thousands of compounds
naturally contained within plants and fruits. This module will list and explain
some of these, but keep in mind that this is only a partial list. New ones are
being found every day, as humans will forever be discovering God.
The chemistry of food is somewhat complex when you realize that many
compounds work synergistically, while many biotransmute (change) into
other constituents and simpler compounds. Most people focus mainly on the
vitamin and mineral content of a food, ignoring this long list of other
properties and elements that are just as vital to the health of the body.
Plant amino acids are more energetic and easy for your body to break
down and use, which is why raw foodists who eat a balanced variety of
fruits, vegetables and nuts are never deficient in amino acids necessary for
health. Meat, on the other hand, requires a more radical and energy-robbing
digestive process to obtain the amino acids that comprise it. The other
important factor here is that meat protein leaves an acid reaction in the body
creating more acidosis, whereas vegetables leave an alkaline reaction in your
body curing acidosis. Your body requires live foods, full of phytochemicals,
to make it alive.
Some phytochemicals are noteworthy for their antioxidant properties,
other phytochemicals are valuable as astringents. Because of the importance
of these two properties in detoxification we will look at them a bit more
closely.
PHYTOCHEMICAL ANTIOXIDANTS

Antioxidants include beta-carotene, lycopene, chlorogenic acid, gamma-
terpinenes, quercetin, lutein, proanthosyanidins, rutin, hesperidin, vitamin A
and vitamin E (tocopherols), to name a few.
These agents protect


  you  have  now  drawn  within  you
the Victory  of Achievement!  If you  allow  your  human  in-
tellect  to cause  you  again  to doubt  and  fear,  then  you  will
have  to wait  another  Opportunity  of the Messengers,  to re-
establish  This  Work!
We are giving  you  the Opportunity  here  and  did  also
in San  Francisco,  to utilize  These  Qualities  which  We  are
anchoring  in your  feeling  world  for Definite,  but Powerful,
Use!  To the degree  that  you  can feel  This  Help  and  let It 24 THE  "7 AM"  DISCOURSES
begin  to act, will  you  find  Response  and  Manifestation  in
your  outer  world  of activity.
So, tonight,  you  have  entered  a New  World,  the World
of your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence."  Will  you  say to Me:  "I
don't  feel  any  change  in my body,  I do not see any outward
manifestation  of It"?  If that  should  be your  feeling,  you
are not apt to; but if you  can say sincerely:  " 'Mighty  I AM
Presence,'  I accept  These  Qualities  which  have  been  given
me for use!  You  set them  into  action  now!  'Mighty  I AM
Presence,'  see that  I have  the feeling  of the Truth  and  the
Activity  of These  Qualities,  quickly  brought  into  my outer
use and  manifestation."  Then  you  will  have  Them!  You
will begin  quickly  to experience  the Truth  of the Words  I
speak  to you!
Before  going  on, I wish  to say just  a few  Words  to the
Messengers:  "The  greatest  need  at the present  time  is in
Philadelphia  and  New  York,  and  then  you  will  be directed
what  is to follow.  Great  need  is in the World,  tonight.  Saint
Germain  will  not be able  to come  and  direct  you,  before
you leave  the city;  and  has asked  Me to convey  This  Mes-
sage  to you."  Oh,  that  mankind  might  understand,  what  it
means  to have  the Assistance  of Great  Wise  Beings  Who
have  gone  the Pathway  you  are treading;  having  conquered
and set Themselves  Free  into  the  Ascension!  They  are
Those  who  know  every  struggle,  every  sorrow,  everything
any one of you experiences.  Then,  will  you  understand  how
it is within  Our  Ability,  to give  such  Great  Assistance ? We
know  all that  you  suffer. DISCOURSE  III 25
In the ages  of long  ago  when  I achieved  My  Freedom,
it was  not so difficult;  but  at the time  Our  Beloved  Saint
Germain  attained  His  Freedom,  it was  an hundred  times
more  difficult  than  you  have  to contend  with  today.  In
those  ages,  people  had  to hide  in caves  in the mountains
to worship  as Their  Hearts  dictated!  Today,  you  have  the
Great  Country  of America!  Oh,  that  you  might  know  just
what  that  Word  means  to you—AMERICA!  OH,
AMERICA!  If you  clearly  knew  what  that  Heavenly,  Di-
vine  Word  meant,  you  would  almost  wish  to speak  It like
the words  "I AM,"  for It belongs  to the "I AM."  One  day,
We shall  tell you  Its full Meaning.
Now,  Precious  Ones,  I am speaking  to the students  who
are firmly  and  with  Great  Determination  holding  to the
Light  of the "Mighty  I AM  Presence":  Your  Goddess  of
Liberty  in New  York  harbor,  is but  the symbol  of that
Mighty  Being  who  is entering  into  the  ruling  world  of
America,—the  Mighty  Goddess  of Liberty!
Do not  fear  ever!  that  the  Great  Law  will  fail  to find
Its Fulfilment  in America;  but  those  who  have  willingly
chosen  to serve  the shadows,  will  one  day  know  the Power
of Her  Radiation,  which  even  row  is saturating  the Earth!
Oh, that  you  may  know  the Great  Enfolding  Radiance
and Illumining  Presence—the  Great  Change  which  is in
your  atmosphere,  even  today!  Oh,  Beloved  Ones,  when  you
breathe,  feel  and  breathe  the Fire-Breath  of God,  in which
no imperfection  can  exist!  As you  think  of It from  time  to
time,  feel yourselves  breathing  in That  Mighty  Fire-Breath 26 THE  "7 AM"  DISCOURSES
of God,  the Mighty  Purifying  Flame!  the  Unfed  Flame!
which  purifies  and  strengthens  every  cell of your  body,  ex-
panding  the Light  within  your  Heart;  until  It knows  no
interference,  either  from  yourself  or outside  forces!
One day,  when  you  are sufficiently  prepared,  I shall  stand
before  you—as  I stood  before  those  Blessed  Ones  in the
Cave  of Light  in India!  Then,  shall  mankind  realize  the
Great  Beings  Who  have  loved  the World  and  have  stood
the Guards  over  it, are no myth  of anyone's  imagination!
So also,  shall  ALL  mankind  know  the "Great  I AM  Pres-
ence,"  Which  has  stood  guard  over  it, when  the  people
would  have  destroyed  themselves.  Precious  Ones,  Beloved  of
the Light!  never  again  let a single  thought  or feeling  enter
your  world,  but  praise  of your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence"
which  gives  you  Life!  In Eternal  Gratitude  to Life,  speak
It before  the World!  Life  alone  pours  forth  to you  Its Eter-
nal, Its Ever-lasting  Perfection!  Yet,  mankind  in the lack
of understanding,  is constantly  re-qualifying  Its Mighty
Currents  of Energy,  which  would  of their  own  volition,
produce  Beauty  and  Perfection  in the human  form.  Those
Currents  of Energy,  if left  unchanged,  would  make  it a
Perfect  Receptacle  to the Outpouring  of the Presence  and
glorify  the people  with  Freedom  quickly.  Those  Currents
of Energy  from  the Presence  would  glorify  them  with  Do-
minion,  not from  the human  self,  but over  all substance.  All
form  in the Universe,  in the Octave  of Earth,  is composed
of the  One  Substance—the  Universal  Substance  of Elec-
tronic  Light,  which  of Itself  is Wholly  Perfect. DISCOURSE  III  27
Now  you  understand,  Precious  Hearts,  the need  of Self-
control  in your  feeling  world—stop  all irritation—all  de-
structive  feeling,  anger,  hatred,  jealousy  or any  of those
qualities  which  fill your  world  with  distress.  Stop  it at once!
Feel the Glory  of the "Mighty  I AM  Presence"  fill your
world  and  flow  forth  with  Happiness  and  Perfection!  Only
as you  do that,  can  you  have  evidence  of the  Perfection
which  you  long  to have  flow  forth  like  a river  into  your
world!  We  can  only  do it, as you  give  attention  to your
"Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  thru  Whom  We  must  work!
Will  you  not do this?
Will  you  not feel  the Truth


 lack of T3 will create low thyroid symptoms.
Unfortunately, in the medical community today, when
testing and treating thyroid disorders most doctors test onlyfor T4 and regard it as the barometer of a person’s metabolichealth. They don’t realize that some people can have a perfectlynormal T4 level and still be hypothyroid (lacking in sufficientthyroid hormone) because of an inability to convert T4 to T3.Unless their bodies can convert T4 into T3, they will lack theessential ingredient for a properly acting metabolism.
The most commonly prescribed medications for low
thyroid conditions are Synthroid, Levoxyl, and levothyroxine.These are T4 preparations—which means that most peoplewho exhibit low thyroid symptoms are being given somethingthat may or may not address their problem. In my practice Iconstantly come across patients who have been takingSynthroid for years without getting any relief from theirhypothyroid symptoms. Their doctors continue to prescribethe T4 preparation despite the lack of results because theirblood tests show normal T4 levels. As I’ve said before, toomany doctors treat blood tests instead of patients.
T3 preparations are available, but for the most part they
are ignored by the medical community.
Possibly aggravating the problem are any of a number of
medications that interfere with thyroid metabolism andprevent or slow the conversion of T4 into T3. These includecholesterol-lowering statin-type drugs such as Lipitor andZocor. These lower coenzyme Q-10, a factor necessary forthyroid conversion. I talk about these again in chapter 19,which discusses the medications that prevent weight loss.
Ironically, one of the most common reasons for an elevated
cholesterol level is an under-active thyroid. This means thatpeople who take statin-type drugs for cholesterol are taking a30 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  thyroid-blocking drug to treat a condition that may be caused
by an under-active thyroid in the first place. When I seepeople with high cholesterol, my first thought is that theymight be low in thyroid. In fact, in the old days, cholesterolused to be called “the poor man’s thyroid test.”
Beta-blockers such as atenolol, Ziac, and Lopressor also
block the conversion of T4 into T3. These drugs are often pre-scribed by cardiologists for their heart patients to reduce theworkload of the heart. However, they almost guarantee weightgain, which is, ironically, one of the most significant riskfactors for coronary artery disease.
THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE
I apologize if the discussion is getting a little long and technical,
but one cannot underestimate the importance of knowingabout thyroid metabolism. My sense is that millions of peopleare being improperly treated, or not treated at all, for anunder-active thyroid condition. The reasons are twofold: thefailure of many doctors to listen to what their patients aresaying, and the failure of many doctors to interpret laboratorytests logically.
Most physicians regard the test for TSH, or thyroid
stimulating hormone, the most sensitive of all thyroidtests—in fact, it’s often the only thyroid test that’s ordered.If the pituitary gland detects suboptimal thyroid levels, itsends out TSH to stimulate the thyroid to make morehormones. “Normal” levels of TSH are considered to fallbetween 0.3 to 5.5. If your TSH level is within this range,your test is considered normal and no thyroid will beprescribed. However, the fact is that any TSH level greaterthan 1.0 can mean your pituitary is saying “you needthyroid.” The normal range was arbitrarily established by31 THYR OID HORMONES—TWO TYPES determining the TSH levels of 100 medical students, with
no concern as to how their thyroids were functioning.
Doctors usually wait to see a TSH level higher than 5.5
before they prescribe treatment. But patients with that higha level are severely hypothyroid. My goal when I treatpatients is to get the TSH level close to 0.3, at which pointI know they are getting close to 100 percent of the thyroidthey require. However, I use two different thyroid hormonesto achieve this—both T3 and T4. A low TSH in a patientwho is taking only Synthroid or Levoxyl may indicate thatthey are taking too much of the medication, especially if thepatient also shows a higher than normal heart rate.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
A proper thyroid evaluation should include taking the patient’s
history, looking at the patient, and ordering the proper tests.Signs and symptoms of low thyroid, as I mentioned before,include: dry skin (without using moisturizers), brittle or softnails, cold feet, blood clots with periods, low body temperature,fatigue, poor memory, dry and brittle hair, elevated cholesterol,and weight gain. Sensible thyroid testing would include:
• Free T4
• Free T3 • TSH
Note: Free T4 and free T3 does not mean there is no fee
involved. Rather, “free” refers to thyroid that is unbound andbiologically active and so is not affected by levels of thyroidbinding globulin.32 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  T3PREPARATIONS
T o my way of thinking, proper thyroid dosing is likely to
include both thyroid hormones. There are various T3 prepara-tions, such as Armour, Thyrolar, and Cytomel. The first twoare combinations of T3 and T4. However, the T3 isshort-acting (three hours), and neither preparation has enoughT4. Cytomel is a synthetic T3 and is also short-acting.
My preference is giving a sustained-release form of
bio-identical T3 (obtainable only through a compoundingpharmacy) to be taken once or twice a day. If the free T3 levelis below 280 pg/dl, I prescribe 7.5 mcg of T3-S/R. In additionI prescribe the proper dose of L-thyroxin (Levoxyl orSynthroid), usually 0.125 mg, corresponding to a free T4 levelof 1.1 ng/dl.
Note that people with ADHD always have low thyroid
levels. They are also low in progesterone, which is required forproper thyroid functioning. If a patient has undiagnosedADHD (a common occurrence) and the doctor is onlytreating lab tests and not symptoms (also a common occur-rence), the patient may experience uncomfortable side effects,such as palpitations, headache, or a rise in blood pressure, afterstarting on thyroid. Both adrenaline, which is part of theADHD causation, and thyroid are stimulants, so ADHD mustbe treated, by lowering the adrenaline levels, prior to startingthyroid. The decrease in energy level that ADHD patientsexperience as their adrenaline levels are lowered is balancedagain with thyroid, which brings their energy levels back up.
My approach to ADHD is presented in chapter 15.33 THYR OID HORMONES—TWO TYPES HORMONAL FATIGUE
AND RHONDA Y.
chapter FOUR
Fatigue is a common symptom in bodies that are out of
balance. For Rhonda Y., 38, hormonally induced fatigue haderoded the joy of raising her family. Fortunately, I was able tohelp her regain hormonal balance, restoring her zest for livingand ability to have a full life with her loved ones. But howmany chronically fatigued homemakers stumble through thedaily grind of the caregiver’s life, branded as hypochondriacsand failing to receive help?
I’ve chosen to include Rhonda in this book because I find
something frightening in the way the medical system failed herand fails people like her every day. Here is her story:
My medical problems began early, with pains in my pelvic
area that would get so bad I would be doubled over. My firstpregnancy was an ectopic pregnancy. That’s a pregnancy in whichthe fetus develops in the fallopian tubes, and I had to have surgeryfor that. Later I had endometriosis and went through severaloperations for that. My two sons were conceived through theexpensive and painful method of in vitro fertilization.
At age 31 my whole system started taking a dive. That was
when the weight gain started. My weight had always been normal,
35but suddenly I started putting on pounds. Along with the weight
came a host of new symptoms.
One was asthma. Another was acid reflux, which was very
painful, and then came a third painful condition, irritable bowelsyndrome. I developed high blood pressure and also had a kidneyinfection. These were all debilitating conditions, but the worst ofit was a new level of fatigue that hit me, that made raising mychildren a kind of daily torment.
The fatigue went on all day, but it would hit me hard at
about 7 or 8 o’clock at night, at which time I just couldn’t doanything. I pretty much set my bedtime at 8
P.M. The fatigue
made domestic chores impossible to complete. I needed to rest a lotduring the day. The messes around the house began to seem likemountains I had to climb. The kids’ demands were constant, andI lost my cheerfulness early in the day. I yelled a lot and feltconstantly irritable.
Often I couldn’t face putting a big meal on the table in the
evening and cleaning up afterwards, so I’d take the kids out forfast food. (My husband didn’t come


 life. Our definition of this goodness may be shallow or deep. Some
men will always  believe that a woman is good as long as she is beautiful
and compliant. Some women will overlook a dozen things about a man that
might spell disaster in a relationship as long as he is dependable and brings
in a good incom e. It takes inner growth to appreciate goodness  as a deeper
value.
Ultimately people are good because of who they are; good ness is a
quality of being. Once we have made this discovery, we stop measuring
people by their achievements. We expect goodness as part of their essence,
and of ours. When this happens, we no longer expect a reward for doing
good. We no longer bestow love when people are good to us and withdraw
it when they are bad. Instead love becomes a constant in our lives. It just is.People who have reached this stage are in true possession of their love
stories.
They don’ t judge or live in fear of judgment.
Judgment is whatever tells you that there is something wrong with
yourself or someone else. Because we all have secrets, we all have some
tendency to live in fear of judgment. A voice inside warns us that other
people will judge our transgr essions as harshly as we do. This self-
condemnation has another face—to make ourselves feel safer from being
judged, we look for faults in others first. Loving people have taught
themselves the falseness of this process. You will never feel better about
yourself by making others look worse. Engaging in the habit of criticism
only postpones the day when your own secret judgments come to light.
Bringing to light whatever you think is wrong about yourself  is the only
way to diffuse guilt and shame. In reality there is nothing wron g with you
or anyone else: this is what the voice of love truly says. Inner growth
consists of learning to hear this voice and heed it, a process essential to
living your own love story.
They do not expect others to make them feel loved.
Love is experienced in relation ship. Without someone to love you, the
feelings of love—the warmth in a mother ’s heart, the gladness of
friendship, the excitement of intimacy—have no stimulus. That is why the
commonest image for being unloved is being alone. When you are alone,
there seems to be no relationship. People who find themselves alone rarely
feel any incentive to explore love. They await contact with another person
or run out to seek it. Thus we become dependent on other people to make us
feel totally and permanently loved.
This expectation  will, however, always be defeated, and although we
blame those who failed to respo nd to us, who responded but then left, who
stayed but then changed their minds, none of them is finally the cause of
our problem. The cause is our inability to develop an unshakeable
relationship with ourselves. The Self is the source of love. Peop le who live
their own love stories have learned this lesson above all.IN THE  ABSENCE OF  LOVE
The absence of love is as devas tating as its presence is beneficial. We will
have to assume,  unfortunately, that most people are not living a love story
right now. Even those who say they are the most deeply in love may be
deluding themselves, at least in part. The word love applies to so many
situations—from intimate affection to abuse, from dependency to control,
from lust to ecstasy—that asking if someone feels loved is unreliable.
Lack of love is less elusive, however, so we can more reliably  describe
what that state feels like. The following are common features of people who
are not living their love stories.
They feel numb and traumatized.
Once it has grown to fullness, a love based on spirit has no fear of being
wounded. Imperfect forms of love are much more vulnerable. Almost
everyone has asked for love and received rejection instead. We have taken
our frail self-images into situat ions where they got battered, where hope
died and our worst imaginings came true. The effect of rejection, failure,
humiliation, and other traumas is to numb one’s feelings. Love requires
sensitivity. It must have openn ess. Whatever has numbed you makes it
much harder for you to feel love. Therefore people who are numb at the
emotional level cannot live their love stories.
They feel valued for what they do, not for who they ar e.
To value yourself is to love yourself. It is really from here that your love
for other s comes. Value is like currency you can draw from a bank account
—if you value yourself a great deal, you actually have something to give to
others. If you do not value yourself, you have nothing to draw upon. So
what is there to value? If you look at yourself and ask, “What would
another person love about me?”  the only enduring answer is “Myself.” The
only people who can give this answer put a value on who they are, not what
they do.
Everyone’ s list of accomplishments is finite. Our good deeds end
somewhere. The things about us that society approves of are often
outweighed in our own minds by blemishes best kept out of other people’ ssight. If we value ourselves by what we do—by accomplishments, good
deeds, social acceptance—the scope of our love gets limited. People who
value themselves almost entirely for what they do will not have love stories
of their own.
They live on distorted beliefs.
The love you have in your life can only be as valuable as you perceive it
to be, and the key to perception is belief. There are no neutral  encounters.
We always see others in the light of our beliefs; we always feel seen in the
light of their beliefs. I’ve known people who walk into a room full of
strangers and believe that a wave of hostility greets them. Other people
walk into a room and immediately feel welcome. The differenc e is entirely
one of perceptio n, since this judgment comes before any external evidence.
I would say that the first people  believe they are not wanted in this world
while the other group believe they are.
Any belief that attacks our ability to value ourselves is a distortion. In
essence the Self is of highest value; it deserves love without exception.
People who cannot live their love stories harbor distorted beliefs that
disguise the reality of their infinite worth.
They have failed at love and ar e too tir ed to try again.
When you are faced with a losing enterprise, it’s only natural to give up
eventually. When we were younger all of us could pursue love with a
certain amount of hope and optim ism, backed by energy, and it takes energy
to carry out any passion. For some people the energy has run out. They say
they have no time for love. They feel they do not need it in their lives. What
they are actually experiencing is lack of energy, the loss of enthusiasm that
follows repeated failure.
But energy is a self-renewing commodity. Like water from a spring, its
flow isn’t diminished by how much you take away. People who cannot live
their love stories have not found a way to renew their energy, to tap into
their source of passion.
These various factors don’ t all apply to any one person. Some of them apply
in some  degree to all of us. But we can certainly perceive some commonunderlying causes at work—ignorance of the path to love, how to enter it,
how to walk it, even what it is.
Our materialistic worldview has reduced love to a haphazard flow of
hormones coupl ed to psychological fantasies. The spiritual truth is very
different. Once the walls fall down we discover that our real problem is that
there is too much  love around us, not too little. Love is eternal and
unbounded; it is only we who take tiny sips from its infinite ocean. Rumi
states this most natural and yet most secret of mysteries  with utter
simplicity:
I look in your inmost self and see the universe not yet created.
The mystery of love hasn’ t changed across the centuries, we have only
fallen short of it. Whenever a person’ s heart dries up, it may appear that
love has dried up. In fact, that person has built a boundary to shut out a
force that is always at flood tide. To exist within love’ s full, unbridled
power is terrify ing unless you have walked the path to love in complete
devotion to the very end.
OceanofPDF.comLOVING  PRACTICE
Purifying the Heart
YOU ARE NOT going to follow  a path that doesn’ t feel natural for very long,
nor will it bring the growth you need, however well intentioned you are.
There is a center in the body where love and spirit are joined, and that
center is the heart. It is your heart that aches or swells with love, that feels
compassion and trust, that seem s empty or full. Within the heart is a subtler
center that experiences spirit, but spirit is not felt as an emotion or physical
sensation. How, then, can you contact it? According to spiritual masters,
spirit is experienced first as the absence of what is not spirit.
In India this is described as Netti, netti,  which means, “Not this, not that.”
Spirit is not caused; it is not bound by time and space; it is not a sensation
that can be seen, touched,


 this means you induce the subconscious to accept th e
idea, and a healing follows.
• The thank-you  technique
In the Bible, Paul recommends that we make known our requests
with praise and thanksgiving. Some extraordinary re-sults fo llow this
simple method of prayer. The thankful heart is always close to the
creative forces of the universe, causing count-less blessings  to flow
toward it by the law of reciprocal relation-ship, based on a  cosmic law
of action and reaction.
For instance, a father promises his son a car for gradua-tion; the  boy
has not yet received the car, but he is very thank-ful and happy, a nd is
as joyous as though he had actually re-ceived the car. He knows hi s
father will fulfill his promise, and he is full of grati tude and joy even
though he has not yet received the car, objectively speaking. He has,
however, received it with joy and thankfulness in his mind.
I shall illustrate how Mr. Broke applied this technique with
excellent results. He said, “Bills are piling up, I am out of work, I have
three children and no money. What shall I do?” Regularly every nig ht
and morning, for a period of about three weeks, he repeated the words,
“Thank you, Father, for my wealth,” in a relaxed, peaceful manne r
until the feeling or mood of thankful-ness dominated his mind. He
imagined he was addressing the infinite power and intelligence within
him knowing, of course, that he could not see the creative inte lligence
or infinite mind. He was seeing with the inner eye of spiri tual
perception, realiz-ing that his thought-image of wealth was t he first
cause, relative to the money, position, and food he needed. His
thought feeling was the substance of wealth untrammeled by
 79 antecedent conditions of any kind. By repeating, “Thank you, Father,”
over and over again, his mind and heart were lifted up to the poi nt of
acceptance, and when fear, thoughts of lack, poverty, and dis-tress
came into his mind, he would say, “Thank you, Father,” as often as
necessary. He knew that as he kept up the thankful attitude h e would
recondition his mind to the idea of wealth, which is what happened.
The sequel to his prayer is very interesting. After prayi ng in the
abovementioned manner, he met a former employer of his on the
street whom he had not seen for twenty years. The man offered him a
very lucrative position and advanced him $500 on a temporary loan.
Today, Mr. Broke is vicepresident of the company for which he
works. His recent remark to me was, “I shall never forget  the wonders
of ‘Thank you, Father.’ It has worked wonders for me.”
• The affirmative method
The effectiveness of an affirmation is determined largely by  your
understanding of the truth and the meaning back of the words, ³In
praying use not vain repetition.´ Therefore, the power of your
affirmation lies in the intelligent application of defin ite and specific
positives. For example, a boy adds three and three and puts down
seven on the blackboard. The teacher affirms with mathematic al
certainty that three and three are six; there-fore, the boy changes his
figures accordingly. The teacher’s statement did not make thre e and
three equal six because the latter was already a mathemati cal truth.
The mathematical truth caused the boy to rearrange the figures  on the
blackboard. It is abnormal to be sick; it is normal to be healthy. Health
is the truth of your being. When you affirm health, harmony, and
peace for yourself or another, and when you realize these are unive rsal
principles of your own being, you will rearrange the negative patterns
of your subconscious mind based on your faith and understanding of
that which you affirm.
The result of the affirmative process of prayer depends on y our
conforming to the principles of life, regardless of appear-a nces.
 80  Consider for a moment that there is a principle of mathem atics and
none of error; there is a principle of truth but none of dishonesty.
There is a principle of intelligence but none of ignorance; there is a
principle of harmony and none of discord. There is a principle o f
health but none of disease, and there is a principle of abundance  but
none of poverty.
The affirmative method was chosen by the author for use on his
sister who was to be operated on for the removal of gall-stone s in a
hospital in England. The condition described was based on the
diagnosis of hospital tests and the usual X-ray pro-cedures. She asked
me to pray for her. We were separated geographically about  6,500
miles, but there is no time or space in the mind principle. Infinite mind
or intelligence is present in its entirety at every point simulta neously. I
withdrew all thought from the contemplation of symptoms and from
the corporeal personality altogether. I affirmed as follows : “This
prayer is for my sister Catherine. She is relaxed and at p eace, poised,
balanced, serene, and calm. The healing intelligence of her sub -
conscious mind, which created her body, is now transforming every
cell, nerve, tissue, muscle, and bone of her being according to t he
perfect pattern of all organs lodged in her subconscious mind. Silently,
quietly, all distorted thought patterns in her sub-conscious mind ar e
removed and dissolved, and the vitality, wholeness, and beauty of th e
life principle are made manifest in every atom of her being. She is
now open and receptive to the healing currents, which are flowing
through her like a river, restoring her to perfect health, harm ony, and
peace. All dis-tortions and ugly images are now washed away b y the
infinite ocean of love and peace flowing through her, and it is so.”
I affirmed the above several times a day, and at the end of  two
weeks my sister had an examination, which showed a re-markabl e
healing, and the X ray, proved negative.
To affirm is to state that it is so, and as you maintain this attitude of
mind as true, regardless of all evidence to the con-trary, you will
receive an answer to your prayer. Your thought can only affirm, for
 81  even if you deny something, you are actually affirming the presence of
what you deny.
Repeating an affirma-tion, knowing what you are saying and why
you are saying it, leads the mind to that state of consciousness where it
accepts that which you state as true. Keep on affirming t he truths of
life until you get the subconscious reaction, which satisfies.
• The argumentative method
This method is just what the word implies. It stems from the
procedure of Dr. Phineas Parkhurst Quimby of Maine. Dr. Quimby, a
pioneer in mental and spiritual healing, lived and practiced in B elfast,
Maine, about one hundred years ago. A book called The Quimby
Manuscripts, published in 1921 by Thomas Y. Crowell Company,
New York City, and edited by Horatio Dresser, is available i n your
library. This book gives newspaper accounts of this man’s remarkable
results in prayer treatment of the sick.
Quimby duplicated many of the healing miracles recorded in the
Bible. In brief, the argumentative method employed according  to
Quimby consists of spiritual reasoning where you convince the patie nt
and yourself that his sickness is due to his false belief, ground less
fears, and negative patterns lodged in his subconscious mind. You
reason it out clearly in your mind and convince your patient tha t the
disease or ailment is due only to a distorted, twisted patte rn of
thought, which has taken form in his body. This wrong belief in some
external power and external causes has now externalized itself  as
sickness, and can be changed by changing the thought patterns.
You explain to the sick person that the basis of all heali ng is a
change of belief. You also point out that the subconscious mind
created the body and all its organs; therefore, it knows how t o heal it,
can heal it, and is doing so now as you speak. You argue in the
courtroom of your mind that the disease is a shadow of the mind based
on disease-soaked, morbid thought-imagery.
You continue to build up all the evidence you can muster on behal f
of the healing power within, which created all the organs in the  first
 82  place, and which has a perfect pattern of every cell, nerve, and tissue
within it. Then, you render a verdict in the courthouse of your mind i n
favor of yourself or your patient. You liberate the sick one by faith
and spiritual understanding. Your mental and spiritual evidence is
overwhelming; they’re being but one mind, what you feel as true w ill
be resurrected in the experience of the patient. This pro cedure is
essentially the argumentative method used by Dr. Quimby of Main e
from 1849 to 1869.

TISSUE CLEANSING THROUGH BOWEL MANAGEMENT

By BERNARD JENSEN D.C., Nutritionist
WITH THE ULTIMATE TISSUE CLEANSING SYSTEM
Co-authored with Sylvia Bell. This book Is Intended for use as an Information source. It Is not Intended as advice for self
diagnosis or a prescription for self treatment. It Is hoped that the information contained here in will stimulate thought and
encourage the adoption of a beneficial llfestyle.

DEDICATION
This book is dedicated to those who want to take the higher path, which is the one approved by God, and to those who would be
free and cleansed of the old so as to embrace the coming into the new and higher life.
“Cleanse and purify thyself and I will exalt thee to the throne of power.” “Be thou clean.”
The results obtained with the program outlined in this book should command the Interest of every physician who clai ms to follow
a preventive health care philosophy. It is a powerful tool when used to overcome the entrenched effects of chronic diseases, as are
an estimated 80% of those found in this country. It is a most Ideal way to turn such conditions around toward r ejuvenation and
well-being.

ABOUT DR. JENSEN
Beginning his career as a chiropractor in 1929, Dr. Bernard Jensen soon turned to the art of nutrition in search of remedies for his
own health problems. He travelled to over 50 countries, to study the lifestyl es of the different cultures in an effort to understand the
principles of long and healthy living. He visited Russia where he studied the long -lived people. The last man he met in Russia was
152 years of age. Dr. Jensen journeyed to New Zealand several tim es, stayed at Sri Aurobindo’s Ashram in India and visited Sai
Baba, one of the masters of India. He met with the Dalai Lama and recently stayed with the King of Hunza Valley.
Many of the spas and nature -cure sanitariums in Europe were visited. Many constru ctive ideas were brought back to develop the
Hidden Valley Health Ranch in 1955. It was a place for his patients and guests to come and learn how to live a healthy life.
Hidden Valley Health Ranch served as a retreat for people from all over the world. The  Kneipp water baths from Worishofen,
Germany were established; the organic garden provided 60% of the meals served; lectures and demonstrations were given and the
summer classes became a main attraction. Doctor Jensen concluded that the long -lived people l ive a simple life, in a moderate
temperature, eat unprocessed foods, no fried foods, little meat, live a serene, contented life, maintain good posture and con sistently
live close to where the soil is black. Doctor Jensen believes humanity needs a formula f or living successfully, healthfully and
peacefully. He combines the elements of the physical, mental and spiritual in teaching people how to live.

FOREWORD
Publishing this book has been somewhat difficult due to the natur e of the subject matter. Bowel management is virtually an
undiscussed topic in our culture and Western society. It’s not nice to talk about. Somehow the unspoken idea has crept upon u s
which implies that the bowel will take care of itself. Also along with this erroneous belief comes another which implies that
anything we may buy in the supermarket or prepare in our kitchen will be received with gratitude by the gastro -intestinal system.
Dr. Tom Spies, recipient of the American Medical Association’s Distingu ished Service Award has said, “All the chemicals used in
the body —except for the oxygen we breathe and the water we drink —are taken in through food.”

Unfortunately, the selection of poor foods and improper preparation methods often lead to bowel problems.  Specifically,
researchers have shown that regular use of refined carbohydrates and a lack of fiber in the diet increase the transit time of  bowel
wastes and stimulate production of putrefactive bacteria in the bowel. Both of these factors have been linked  not only to bowel
diseases such as colitis, diverticulosis and cancer but also to chronic disease elsewhere in the body. Fortunately, what medi cal
scientists call the “irritable bowel syndrome” can be prevented or reversed in most cases by following the p rogram described in
this book. There are methods, however, such as proper diet, which will lead to the same results but over a longer period of t ime.
The response to the first edition of this book has been wonderful. We have received many suggestions and comments which have
led us to make revisions and additions to make this book more responsive to your needs.

It often takes an act of resolution and courage in order to get out of the bowel situation in which so many people find thems elves.
There is no bet ter way than taking positive, affirmative action. The instructions given in this book will give you the opportunity to
take greater responsibility over your level of health and well -being. Improving the condition of your bowel will give you
worthwhile divi dends in renewed health, energy and vitality, an investment well made. The program outlined In this book is just
the beginning of a new path. Once the bowel is cleansed of accumulated waste material, the next step begins. Giving up old ha bits
is a very dif ficult thing for most people but is absolutely essential to regaining full health. The building process begins when
correct, life -giving attitudes and habits take over. We can regenerate the body when we have clean tissues that are able to draw all
the nut rients and chemical elements we need from the foods we eat. Coffee and donuts will not do the job; sugar and white bread
won’t either. If old habits are not given up, only temporary “flash” results will be experienced.

This book has been made available fo r the person who wants to take greater responsibility for his or her own health and well -
being. The 7 -day cleansing program described here has been used by many in their own homes with safety. Rome was not built in
a day, nor are the dividends of effective  bowel management always evident right away. It can take months or even years to correct
problems that have taken many years to come about. Developing proper elimination is half the job. The other half is rebuildin g
damaged tissue.

CAUTION
I want to make clear that the program described in this book is not being represented as a cure for any disease or ailment. It is
simply a method of cleaning out the bowel and of restoring regular bowel habits, which leads to a cleaner body through more
efficient elimina tion of wastes. The program described here will seldom conflict with any other therapy or treatment, but if you are
under a doctor’s care, it is best to discuss this program with him and seek his counsel and support. If your doctor is intere sted in
natural  and preventive health care, he will understand that a clean body is more responsive to any therapeutic measure he feels you
need. Our program is not intended to supplant qualified professional health care. Not everyone needs this program, and we are  not
recommending it as a universal panacea. But, there are many who will benefit from it.

We recommend that the seriously ill and the elderly go easy with this program, seeking the advice of their doctor in modifyin g any
of its features to conform to their spe cific needs and limitations. We have attempted to make this book as complete and as clear as
possible, to answer all potential questions and to avoid confusion. Questions and inquiries from professional practitioners a re
welcomed. If you suffer from a blee ding bowel or any severe bowel disturbance, it is imperative that a doctor’s supervision
be employed.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION TO RAISING BOWEL CONSCIOUSNESS: TWO MIRACLES*
As


Martin J. Lara  ASTHMA  “It was in the Kombucha book that you [Harald W. Tietze] wrote that I saw the advertisements for your other books, so I order the three books, one being the Water Medicine. At the time of ordering your book I was suffering very badly with the asthma and was having to go on my nebuliser every 2 to 3 hours, as I had constantly no breath even after the nebs.  “I was depressed with it and knew not where to turn. I was still working, but going home for each neb. After your books arrived I read all about it in the Water Cure. I can tell you, this was not going to be my favourite medicine. I already had four bottles of echinacea homeopathic drops that did not work, so what I did was to put 10 urine drops 16 into the drops I had. I took five drops under my tongue each day morning and night, for the first two days no change. Then on the third day I had no asthma, not a bit. I still am taking the drops because I did stop taking them so my immune system could step in. In those two days I got asthma back slightly. So now I’m too scared to stop the drops. -J.H.W.”  from Urine: The Holy Water, by Harald W. Tietze  ASTHMA  “She was suffering from asthma for the last twelve years. As soon as it was rainy season and clouds hovered in the sky her condition became miserable. We were unable to stand the very sight of her pain in rainy season and in winter. All the members of the family used to nurse her in rotation. When sometime she gasped and wheezed, it was the limit of agony. Various medicines were used. Tens of Ephedrine injections and other injections were injected, tablets of different names given and countless number of syrup tonic bottles were emptied. Homeopathic treatment was also tried for one and a half years. Ayurveda was also put to the proof, but her condition did not improve.  “Last May she went to Bombay. Symptoms of asthma erupted even in mid-summer due to humid air. She came back to Ahmedabad on 7th June, 1958. Temperature at Ahmedabad on that was 111-112F. Even in such hot weather she had an unbearable fit of asthma. On 9th June she was extremely restless. I got [an] idea, called my son Shashikant and asked him to anoint her chest with urine. After half [an] hour of anointment her restlessness subsided. I decided then and there that she should be put on urine therapy from 10th June. During my treatment with urine therapy she used to be present look after me and she therefore overcome natural hate for urine. <<<NOTE>>> [...she used to look at me resentfully…?...and she thereafter overcame…?] From 10th June her treatment began. I want to point out an important observation. The person massaging the body with urine should be someone who loves the patient. The hired servants for this purpose do not take that much interest. I therefore asked Shashikant to find some time to nurse his wife. He agreed.  “Smt. Kumud Behen (the patient) had no aversion for urine. Therefore she started urine-drinking from 10th June daily in the morning. From 14th June she commenced her fast. I didn't know in advance how many fasts will be needed but had faith that nature will herself indicate the period required for the fast. If the kidneys are healthy and flow of urine is normal, fasting with urine does not weaken the patient to any great extent. However to maintain her energy I gave her 8 ounces of date-water (dates are soaked in water for six hours and then crushed in it.) The water is then filtered through  cloths for two days. (Patient of diabetes should not be given date-water at all during urine therapy). On 15th and 17th she had seven to eight loose motions  [bowel movements] and her stomach and intestines were cleaned of accumulated 17 poison and phlegm. On 17th loose motion stopped. On 18th she started vomiting right since morning and thick phlegm mixed offensive matter came out each time. After each vomiting she felt improved and restful. On 19th evening vomiting also subsided automatically. [The] chest and lungs were cleared of phlegm. Now what would be the next reaction, no one could predict. On 20th morning Kumud started sneezing. I asked her, "Why are you sneezing? Have you cold?" She told me, "This sneezing is not due to cold. [Had]they been due to cold, there would have been some water discharge from the nose. These are bare sneezes." Effect of this was felt immediately. Phlegm accumulated in the upper part and began to come out through gullet. Whole day sneezing continued and in the evening it ceased of itself. On 21st noon Kumud said to me, "I feel destroyed. If you permit, I shall break my fast from tomorrow morning. After fast, I shall continue drinking urine daily in the morning for a long time and keep on fasting one day week so as to avoid the recurrence of the disease." I permitted her and on 22nd morning she broke her eight day old fast. She took date-water in the morning, sapodilla, papaya and pomegranate juice in the time of lunch and water of boil lentil pulse in the evening. For two days she continued fruits and liquid diet. From 26th June she began simple and salubrious diet.  “Thus she cured her asthma. Her weight came down to 120 libs. from 140 lbs. and her body became agile and her skin soft and lustrous.

Sweetheart, you can do it.” And the car starts.
Mom makes a decision to redecorate and refurnish the li ving room and Dad says, “Fine,

Do you think the soul is not clear that the Energy of Life is everywhere?
I tell you that nothing  is not alive, and the soul knows it. The soul sees itself in everything.
It knows our unity with all of life. It watches then, sadly, as the mind talks us out of this.
Because the mind, you see, has only Past Data with which to come to its conclusions. Yet the
soul goes beyond Past Data, to a place where time itself does not exist. The soul knows the
Actual Truth, while the mind stops at the Apparent Truth.
Unless it does n ot.
And that is what the soul encourages the mind to do. It encourages the mind to not stop
at the apparency of things. Do not stop there, it gently calls out. Come with me, to a place you
never even dreamed existed.  All very interesting, you might say.. . but what does this have to do with my life, and the
changes that have taken place, and how I am going to deal with them?
Ah, yes, there is that....
(Phew.) Is this a good time for at least a tiny breath? Good. Let’s both  take a little
Breather right here
Let’s take a moment to consider the implications of all that —and to consider that these
implications do have to do with your life, with the changes that have taken place, and with
how you are going to deal with them. Then...
... when, and only if, you’re ready, drop down to...
THE ASTONISHING TRUTH ABOUT CHANGE
I consider that this entire conversation I am having with you will contain, in the end, two
sentences that you will want to remember verbatim. I mean, really remember. As in, never
forge t. As in, tattooed on your left wrist, written in soap on your bathroom mirror, or
magnetized to your refrigerator door.
These two utterances are paradigm -shifting and life changing. I call them...
1. The Life -Altering Question
2. The Answer to Everything
The Life -Altering Question marked the end of our exploration of the Mechanics of the
Mind. Do you remember the question? Here it is again:
IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE REALITY I AM EXPERIENCING IS NOT REAL?
It is the soul that encourages this questio n.
And now comes The Answer to Everything. What I am about to tell you can make it
possible for you to never have a negative experience of change again. This is the final piece
of the puzzle. This is the lost key, the unknown combination, the secret of sec rets. And
while the Life -Altering Question was the culmination of the first part of this book, the
Answer to Everything will be the launching point for the second.
Here it is...
ALL CHANGE IS FOR THE BETTER.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CHANGE FOR THE WORS E.
And that  is what the energy system I have been describing has to do with you and your
life. That is what your soul  has to do with the changes that have taken place —and that will
take place in the days and times of your future.  Life says for me to tell Y ou This:
nothing needs fixing;
everything desires
a Celebration.
You were made to bend
so that you would find
all of the many miracles at your feet.
You were made to stretch
so that you would discover,
your own beautiful face of Heaven
just above
all that you think you must shoulder.
When I appeal to God to speak to me,
I’m feeling just as small and alone as you might be.
But this is when, for no particular reason at all,
I begin to

THE FIFTH CHANGE
WHAT I HAVE JUST  told you changes everything. No other piece of information is needed, no
other data is required. The mind is now empowered to come to a whole new set of
conclusions about Life.
Very early in this conversation I said that there were Nine Changes That Can Ch ange
Everything, but the truth is, the only one you need is...
CHANGE #5:
Change your idea about Change Itself
We have been seeing change as a disruption, as a break in the flow, as a shift in direction,
as an alteration in the condition or circumstance  of our lives. Especially with regard to
what we view as unwelcome change, this has been our truth. From this truth has emerged
our thought, which has created our emotion, which has produced our experience, which
has eventuated our reality.
I want you to t hink about what I just said. An event  is what brings about our reality. Our
reality is, in the literal sense, eventuated.
This is true until we are out of our mind. When we leave  the mind and enter the realm of
the soul, then it is no longer events  that br ing about our reality, but pure awareness.
From awareness emerges Actual Truth, while from events emerges, at best, Apparent
Truth and, more usually, Imagined Truth. Thus, from events we travel into a Distorted
Reality, while from awareness we move at last  into the Ultimate Reality.
And what is it of which we become aware, that produces such a quantum shift in our
overall experience? We become aware of the Actual Truth about Change Itself. We see that
change is not a DISruption, but an Eruption. It is life erupting into fuller bloom. We see that
change is not a break in the flow, it IS the flow. We see that change is not a shift in direction,
it IS the direction itself in which all life moves. We see that change is not an alteration in the
condition and circ umstance of our lives, it IS the condition and circumstance of our lives.
In our expanded awareness we observe that without change, life itself would not be, for
life is movement, and movement is change, by definition.
The question is not, therefore, wheth er life will contain change, but what kind of change life
will contain.
And the answer to that  question depends upon how you utilize the Mechanics of the
Mind —and whether you integrate them with the System of the Soul, seeing these as two
handles of the sa me Larger Tool.
Let us, then, examine this System of the Soul, even as we examined the Mechanics of the
Mind, and let us begin where we began... with a definition of the Soul itself.  The soul is energy. It is the energy of life itself, animating life it self. Life energizes and
animates life itself through the process of life itself. It is a self -feeding, self -sustaining
system.
Those last few words are vitally important to remember. Life is a self-sustaining system.
It never ends, but sustains itself ete rnally. How? By adapting. Why? So that it can remain
forever functional. When it can no longer function in a particular way, it adapts. By its
adaptation does it render itself sustainable.
Life is making its adaptations in every moment. It is always changing. The question is not
whether life is always changing, but why? Life is always changing in order to remain always
sustainable. Thus, every change that ever occurs is change for the better.
This new idea about change that I’m inviting you to embrace, when put on a more
personal level, reads like this:
All change is for your own good.
Most of us experience this —after the fact.
Most of us have experienced events which we have called, when they were happening,
the worst moments of our lives, only to find, as time went by, that what occurred was one of
the best things that ever happened to us.
The fact is that this is true of every thing  that has ever happened to us, but we do not
know this, we cannot accept this, because some things have  turned out for the worst —
according to our definition. Yet our definition is warped, constrained as it is by the
Mechanics of the Mind, and their in herent limitations.
The mind may very well know all about what has gone before, but it does not know why.
The mind may very well hold all of life’s Past Data, but it does not hold all of life’s
information (which is another thing altogether). The mind may very well contain
knowledge, but it does not contain wisdom.
Wisdom lies outside the mind. Wisdom resides within the soul.
That is why we need to hold both handles of this magnificent tool of creation that I shall
now call by its proper name: YOU.
Let me m ake something very clear. “Facts” and “awareness” are not the same thing. We


 the third day, the fertilized egg has fallen into the uterus. During this time, and
for many days thereafter, the Trophoblast cells are growing very rapidly and surround
the other two types of cells (primitive germ cells, and normal body, or Somatic cells).
The new baby w ill fall out of the uterus unless something happens fast. As the cells
metastasize (as cancer does) to the wall of the uterus, the baby remains in the uterus
and receives nourishment as the cells continue to grow rapidly, forming the placenta.
Now with a good food supply and in no direct harm, the baby (embryo) continues
to grow, safe and sound, until birth. The placental Trophoblast tissue (cancer mass)
continues to grow until about the seventh week when the baby's pancreas develops.
The baby's pancreatic enzyme production, along with the mother's pancreatic
enzyme production, STOPS the growth of the placental Trophoblastic tissue (cancer
mass). As the new embryo is being formed from the normal body or Somatic cells, the
primary germ cells (pre-placenta cells) are multiplying. In a few days, when the
embryo develops to the proper stage, the primary germ cells stop multiplying and
begin to migrate to the gonads (the ovaries or testes).
There are about three billion of these primary germ cells that fatigue and never
have the vital force necessary to reach the gonads. This means that there are two
germ cells for every area the size of a pinhead dispersed throughout your body. Any
one of these germ cells is a potential malignant tumor mass (cancer), which is why it
can form in any part of the body. All that is needed to create a malignant tumor mass
in our body is:
24
Winning The Cancer War
1. A deficiency of pancreatic enzymes
2. An imbalance of sex hormones
3. The embryonic destiny of these primary germ cells to form Trophoblast cells,
which then forms a false placenta (a malignant tumor mass) in preparation for the
creation of a baby.
The imbalance of sex hormones can take place at any time, but usually it occurs
between 45 and 60 years of age. However, as planned by the wicked Jewish
Establishment, babies are now being born with cancer malignant tumor masses.
Those born after 1980 have a cancer rate of nine out of ten and are unlikely to live to
age 50.
When all is said and done, a malignant tumor mass (cancer) is a normal growth of
tissue (a false placenta) due to the development of a basic (primary) germ cell in the
wrong place (outside of the uterus).
Sometimes this false placenta, (malignant tumor cancer) also has the beginning of a
baby inside its mass, much like a normal pregnancy, only in the wrong place. When
dissecting malignant tumors, pathologists often find partially formed teeth, toenails
and other types of tissue, such as lung tissue, within these masses.
The beguiling and planned deception of the Jewish Medical Establishment is to
have you believe:
1. That a normal Somatic body cell goes wild and forms "a cancer".
2. That it is all "your fault".
3. That you smoked or ate the wrong food.
4. That were out in the sun too long.
5. A thousand other excuses causing a defective normal body cell to go into a
wild rampage.
Nothing could be further from the truth!
Malignancy therefore, is NEVER normal (Somatic) tissue gone into wild proliferation,
but ALWAYS a normal primary germ cell growing normally in the wrong place. To
develop malignant tumors four conditions must be present. These four factors are:
25
Winning The Cancer War
1. The presence of an Ectopic germ cell
2. The stimulating presence of the female sex hormones
3. A deficiency of active pancreatic enzymes.
4. The body must be free of enzyme inhibitors and blockers.
Cancer, then, is nothing more than a stimulated normal Trophoblast cell growing
normally in the wrong place, trying to form a placenta in preparation for a new baby.
Cancer and the Placenta
First, you must understand and comprehend that ALL malignant tumors are nothing
more than PLACENTAS or FALSE PLACENTAS. All of these malignant tumor masses,
in every case, arise from the Trophoblast cells produced in the normal asexual cycle
of life of all mammals (humans included).
These malignant tumors/placentas continue to grow uninhibited until:
1. Death!
2. Termination of pregnancy from the pancreatic enzyme production of the mother
and fetus.
3. The intake of adequate supplementation of pancreatic enzymes.
4. Dietary changes reducing demand for pancreatic enzymes.
5. The deceptive temporary effects of surgical intervention, destructive radiation or
chemotherapy, which always fails, causing death.
In a nutshell, what the medical community calls "cancer" (in total error), is nothing
more than a "Placenta or a False Placenta". Cancer then is nothing more than a
stimulated normal Trophoblast cell growing normally in the wrong place trying to
form a placenta in preparation for a new baby. Remember, this happens in every one
every day. Allow me to give you a patient example to emphasize this truth and
fundamental concept.
All malignant tumors, whether they are in the brain or the little toe, are either
Placentas, or False Placentas (a placenta without a baby attached.

There Are No Exceptions!
A Bonnie Scottish Lassie
For well over a century, it was common talk among the peasant girls of Scotland,
should one find a lump (cancer growth) in the breast she should get pregnant as soon
as possible? When these girls lived beyond their reproductive age their cancer
returned and they died. Girls then, as well as now have a multitude of tricks in their
bag to become pregnant, everything from baking a cake to tripping a boy in the
meadow. This 'old wife's tale intrigued the eminent Embryologist, John Beard, D.SC.,
professor of Edinburgh University. Beard was a true scientist. It was he who
determined what cancer is, how it is formed, why it is formed and how to properly
treat it. Some 50 years later Dr. W illiam D. Kelley, D.D.S., having never heard of
Professor Beard came to the same Scientific Paradigm. The medical community
refuses to accept Dr. Kelley's Paradigm. This is unfortunate for the thousands who
could be properly treated and cured. Dr. Kelley often states, 'that's the way it is'. God
may bring this truth to the attention of another scientist, years after his death.
The Direct Cause of Cancer
The direct cause of cancer, according to our research, is the changing of an Ectopic
Primary germ cell into an Ectopic Trophoblast cell. An excess of female sex hormones
brings about this change. Both men and women have male and female sex hormones.
When this delicate male-female sex hormone balance is upset, cancer may start.
Let us explain this a little further. In the human life cycle, the male sperm unites
with the female egg. Now if this fertilized egg would grow directly into a new baby,
we would have no cancer or cancer problems, but nature does not act so simply and
directly, for if she did, the newly formed embryo (baby) would fall out of the uterus.
Therefore, nature had to develop some way to attach the new embryo to the wall of
the uterus and some way to nourish (feed) it.
After the sperm in the fallopian tube of the mother fertilizes the egg the fertilized
egg gives rise to three basic kinds of cells:
4. Trophoblast cells, which form:
5. Primitive germ cells, which form:
6. Primary germ cells, one of which forms the embryo, which form:
7. Normal body or somatic cells; and the
27
Winning The Cancer War
8. Many Primary germ cells migrate to the Testes or Ovaries waiting to form the next
generation. Many are trapped within the normal body cells come to occupy all
sorts of abnormal positions within the new embryo's body and upon stimulation
by female hormones produce;
9. Trophoblast cells, which can form a placenta in any place of the embryo's body
as it grows to a child or adult.
10. These out of place placentas are in error, called by the medical community
CANCER.
By the third day, the fertilized egg has fallen into the uterus. During those three
days and for many days thereafter, the Trophoblast cells (cancer cells) are growing
very rapidly and surround the other two types of cells (primitive germ cells, and
normal body or somatic cells).
The new baby will fall out of the uterus unless something happens fast, and happen
it does. The Trophoblast cells metastasize (as cancer does) to the wall of the uterus.
Now the baby cannot fall out of the mother's uterus, but needs nourishment. The
Trophoblast cells (cancer cells) continue to grow rapidly and form the placenta. Now
with a good food supply and no danger of falling out of the mother, the baby
(embryo) can continue to grow, safe and sound, until birth.
The placental Trophoblast tissue (cancer mass) continues to grow until about the
seventh week when the baby's pancreas develops.
The baby's pancreatic enzyme


 “I love you.” If he didn’t
get the desired, “I love you, too, Noah,” then he would see that as
having nothing to do with his own self-worth, since that was intact
before he ever started. Whether or not he was loved in return would
be his wife’s problem, or whomever Noah was loving at the moment.
He might want the other person’s love, but it would not be essential
to his self-worth.
You can challenge all of your self-feelings in terms of your ability
to love yourself. Remember, at no time, under no circumstance is
self-hate healthier than self-love. Even if you have behaved in a way
that you dislike, loathing yourself will only lead to immobilization
and damage. Instead of hating yourself, develop positive feelings.
Learn from the error, and resolve not to repeat it but don’t associate
it with your self-worth.
Here is the guts of both self-and other-directed love. Never confuse
your self-worth (which is a given) with your behavior, or the beha-
vior of others toward you. Once again, it isn’t easy. The messages
of society are overpowering. “You’re a bad boy,” rather than “You’ve
behaved badly.” “Mommy doesn’t like you when you behave that
way” as opposed to “Mommy doesn’t like the way you behave.”
The conclusions that you may have adopted from these messages
are, “She doesn’t like me, I must be a nerd” instead of, “She doesn’t
like me. That’s her decision, and while I don’t like it, I’m still import-
ant.” R. D. Laing’s Knots  sums up the process of internalizing others’
thoughts and equating them with one’s self-worth.
My mother loves me.
I feel good.
I feel good because she loves me.FIRST LOVE  / 31My mother does not love me.
I feel bad.
I feel bad because she does not love me.
I am bad because I feel bad.
I feel bad because I am bad.
I am bad because she does not love me.
She does not love me because I am bad.*
The habits of thought of childhood are not easily outgrown. Your
own self-image may still be based upon others’ perceptions of you.
While it is true that your original self-profiles were learned from the
opinions of adults, it is not true that you must carry them around
with you forever. Yes, it is tough to shed those old shackles and
wipe clean those unhealed scars, but hanging onto them is even
tougher when you consider the consequences. With mental practice
you can make some self-loving choices that will amaze you.
Who are the folks who are good at loving? Are they self-demolish-
ing in their behavior? Never. Do they put themselves down and hide
in the corner? Not so. Getting good at giving and receiving love
starts at home, with you, with a vow to end any low self-esteem
behaviors that have become a way of life.
Tuning into Self-Acceptance
First you must destroy the myth that you have one single self-
concept, and that it is either positive or negative all of the time. You
have many self-images, and they vary from moment to moment. If
you were asked, “Do you like yourself?” you might be inclined to
lump all of your negative self-thoughts together into a collective
“No.” Breaking down the areas of dislike into specifics will give you
definite goals to work on.
*R. D. Laing, Knots  (New York: Vintage Books, 1970), p. 9.32 / Your Erroneous ZonesYou have feelings about yourself physically, intellectually, socially
and emotionally. You have an opinion about your abilities in music,
athletics, art, mechanical undertakings, writing and on and on. Your
self-portraits are as numerous as your activities, and through all of
these behaviors there is always YOU, the person that you either ac-
cept or reject. Your self-worth, that friendly ever-present shadow,
your consultant for personal happiness and personal mastery, must
be unrelated to your self-assessments. You exist. You are human.
That is all you need. Your worth is determined by you, and with no
need for an explanation to anyone. And your worthiness, a given,
has nothing to do with your behavior and feelings. You may not like
your behavior in a given instance, but that has nothing to do with
your self-worth. You can choose to be worthy to yourself forever,
and then get on with the task of working on your self-images.
Loving Your Body
It all begins with the physical you. Do you like your body? If you
answered no, try breaking it down into its component parts. Make
a list of the items that you find objectionable. Starting at the top:
your hair, your forehead, eyes, eyelids, cheeks. Do you like your
mouth, nose, teeth and neck? How about your arms, fingers, breasts
and stomach? Make a long list. Include the innards as well. Your
kidneys, spleen, arteries and femurs. Now go to the obscure ingredi-
ents that make up you. How about your Rolandic fissure, cochlea,
pinna, adrenal glands and uvula? You’ve got to make a very long
list to check yourself out thoroughly. You don’t have a nice body;
you are your body; and disliking it means not accepting yourself as
a human being.
Perhaps you do have some physical attributes you dislike. If they
are parts of your body which can be changed, make changing them
one of your goals. If your stomach is too big or yourFIRST LOVE  / 33hair the wrong color for you, you can see them as choices you made
in an earlier present moment, and make new present-moment de-
cisions about them. Those parts which you disapprove and which
cannot be changed (legs too long, eyes too narrow, breasts too small
or too large) can be viewed in a new light. Nothing is too anything,
and long legs are no better or worse than hair or non-hair. What you
have done is bought contemporary society’s definition of beauty.
Don’t let others dictate what will be attractive to you. Decide to like
the physical you and declare it as worthy and attractive to you,
thereby rejecting the comparisons and opinions of others. You can
decide what is pleasing and make nonacceptance of yourself a thing
of the past.
You are a human being. Human beings have certain odors, make
certain sounds and have certain growths of hair. But society and
industry send out certain messages about the human physical con-
dition. Be ashamed of these human characteristics, they say. Learn
masking behavior—especially if you mask the real you with our
product. Don’t accept yourself; hide the real you.
You can’t get through an hour of television without getting the
message. The advertisements that bombard you daily tell you to be
contemptuous of the way your mouth, underarms, feet, skin and
even genitals smell. “Change to our product and feel real and natural
again.” As if the way you are is unnatural and you should go around
sending out cosmetic odors in order to like yourself better. So you
deodorize each orifice with the right smelling stuff, because you
don’t accept a part of yourself that exists in all human beings.
I know of a thirty-two-year-old man, Frank, who has learned to
reject all of his bodily functions labeling them as disgusting and
unmentionable. Frank is compulsively clean about his body to the
point of being uncomfortable whenever he sweats, and he expects
the same kind of starchy-clean behavior from his wife and children.
He rushes for the shower to rid himself of any of-34 / Your Erroneous Zonesfensive odors after mowing the lawn or playing a set of tennis.
Moreover, he cannot have sex unless both he and his wife shower
before and after. He cannot tolerate his own normal body odors, nor
can he live with anyone who is more accepting of himself. Frank
sprays his bathroom, uses a multitude of cosmetic products to keep
himself smelling good, and he is concerned about anyone else dis-
liking him when he becomes human and begins smelling like one.
Frank has learned to reject his natural body functions and odors. He
has adopted attitudes that reflect personal self-rejection, by either
being embarrassed or apologetic whenever he allows his body to be
natural. But being human means having many natural odors, and
the person who is working at self-love and self-acceptance is in no
way offended by his natural self. In fact, if Frank were to be totally
honest about himself, and wiped out the learned messages of self-
rejection, he might even be able to admit to enjoying his own body
and all of the glorious odors it is capable of producing. While he
might not wish to share those odors with others, he would at least
be able to accept them in himself, tell himself that he, in fact, likes
them, and experience no shame around others.
Self-acceptance means liking the entire physical you, and elimin-
ating those cultural impositions to be proper or to merely tolerate
your body when it behaves other than in a cosmetic fashion. This
doesn’t mean you have to go around flaunting yourself, but it does
mean that you can learn to take private pleasure in being


 of appendicitis by
urine treatment. Here is its account:
. Shri Ramanlal Trivedi is a young man of thirty. For the past many
yeras, he has been suffering from constipation and other ailments.
On the right side corner of his stomach acute pain developed and
there was an attack of fever also. A doctor diagnosed it as a case of
appendicitis and he was advised for an operation. Dr. Salaria being
a surgeon was then consulted. The patient was then admitted in his
hospital on 25-10-58. Dr. Sal aria did not operate on him but insisted
upon him to adopt urine treatment. He was made to take auto-urine
thrice a day. An enema douche with two pints of urine was also DISORDERS OF THE INTESTINES : 127
given, as a r!;!sult of which much of the excreta passed out. This
treatment was repeated on the second and third day and all the hard
and undigested matter stuck to the intestines passed out. Normal
health was restored.

habi;s of eating lead ma~y people to suffer from c?litis eith:r in the
region of small intestine or the large one. S~ri Yog~ndra Pankh,. B.sc.

employee of Khadi Gramodyog Research Committee, ~anJan

cure him, he consulted Dr. Adal Beharam, M.D.,?f Bo~bay. The
latter advised to adopt urine treatment which the pat1ent d1d and was
consequently relieved of his trouble. On the 12th & 15th M~rch,
1960 a seminar on urine was held in Ahmedabad to exchange v1ews
on urine treatment. Shri Yogindra Parikh read a detailed account of
his urine cure :

traced out. 1 was not subjected to any operation. But the doctor kept
me under his supervision. 1 left the hospital after three days and was
then re-admitted in the private ward. Even after so many tes~s, no
one could detect the real cause of my trouble. The reports d1d not 128 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY
reveal anything. When I was leaving the hospital finally, Dr. N. C.
S~ah told me : "We have checked the disease but it may reapperar.
It •s not possible to eliminate it altogether."
111n such a condition I went to Bombay and began the
homoeopathic treatment. My case was a chronic one. In the
beginning, Dr. Adal Beharam gave me the waters of milk and
wood-apple. Cradua!ly I took lentil soup and herbal water, rice and
lentil preparation. There was definite improvenment by this
treatment. Within a month the improvement was so rapid that the
doctor feared a fresn attack of the disease. It turned out to be true. In
the rainy season, there was an attack of fever due to cold and
bleeding also started again. But in two weeks' treatment, 1 recovered
again and went to see Dr. Adal Beharam before retuning to
Ahmedabad.
"I chanced to see the book Manav Mutra. In those days 1 used to
consult various books on Ayurveda to know about my disease and
so naturally I came to know about this book also. I completed the
book in one sitting only. ·
"In monsoon the disease attacked me once more and bleeding
started again and my weight decreased. My wife Nilam had also
gone through the book. With courage and p«tience, I fasted on urine
for three days. According to the doctor's i~structions, 1 took urine
thrice a day and also got it rubbed on the entire body. On the
second day of drinking urine, there w< s change in the colour of
urine. Though somewhat saltish in taste, it became limpid like
water.
"During three days of fast, there were about seven motions,
Bleeding was more profuse but in the second week it decreased and
in the third, I started moving about. Naw I am quite all right. 1 have
given up spiced and fried food. Though it has proved to be 95%
successful, for a definite conclusion it is essential to wait for the final
and definite result.
"Thinking in terms of expenses, as many as 600 rupees have been DISEASES OF THE KIDNEY :._
:;pent on allopathic treatment, only 3 rupees in homoeopathic cure
but not a single paisa for urine treatment which really cured me."
After two years Shri Parikh is full of vigour and health and is
entirely ·free from any disease.

CHAPTER XII
DISEASES OF THE KIDNEY
1. Inflammation of the Kidney (Nephritis) : Shri Ambalal K. Patel,
B.sc., L. L. B., is the store-superintendent in Ahmedabad Municipality.
He applied urine therapy on his younger daughter who was a patient
of nephritis and cured he:r. Here is the account of the case :
"Narayani is 8 years old. She fell a victim of nephritis in her early
age. Blood and pus passed in her urine and she became weaker day
by day. Sometimes she had pain in the throat and had attacks of
fever also. Her weaknees went on increasing. She had got her tonsils
operated by a surgeon an year ago. But the trouble and pain in her
throat continued. Nephritis is thought to be incurable and
particularly for women, it is dangerous. In this disease not only the
patient but the nurse· also are harassed a great deal. Medical
treatment for this· desease involves large expenses. 130 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY
"She was treated for one week in Lallubhai Gordhandas Hospital
at Maninagar. The same treatment was continued for ten days at
home. The trouble subsided for a while but revived in a more acute
form after two weeks. There was profuse bleeding in urine. This
disappointed me. My son-in-law resides at Bombay and is a
M.R.C.P. from Edinberg. He advised me to administer ten tablets
everyday and a course of penicillin which was to be continued for
six months. However I was not inclined towards this ·treatment. 1
~as not ready to wait for six months for this grievous malady to
disappear. From the very beginning I -had an idea to apply urine
treatment. narayani was also ready. She was greatly hesitant tu drink
her urine which was mixture of blood and pus. However she took
her entire urine, It was an ounce in quantity but it produced a
magical effect. After sometime she again passed urine which was
not as cloudy as before. She drank this also. After that her urine was
as clear as natural water. Consequently, she was convinced that
som~how the treatment suited her. So she started taking urinethree
to four times a day, two ounces of it each time
