 proving in both laboratory and
clinical testing that our own urine is an enormous source of vital nutrients,
vitamins, hormones, enzymes and critical antibodies that cannot be
duplicated or derived from any other source. They use urine for healing
cancer, heart disease, allergies, auto-immune diseases, diabetes, asthma,
infertility, infections, wounds and on and on--yet we're taught that urine is a
toxic waste product. This discrepancy between the medical truth and the
public information regarding urine is ludicrous and, as the news releases
you've just read demonstrate, can mean the difference between life and death
to you and to your loved ones. When I contracted a crippling, incurable disease early in life, I used every
available conventional medical and alternative healing method over the
course of many years without success. When an acquaintance suggested I try
"urine therapy" I though she'd lost her mind, but with no options left, I
swallowed my prejudice and decided to give it a go. To my own (and
everyone else's) amazement, my healing was so rapid and so profound with
urine therapy that no question remained in my mind that someone in the
medical community had to know more than they were telling about this
incredible body substance. And as a matter of fact, they did know more - a
lot more. After many months of haunting university libraries, scanning countless
microfiche files and poring over piles of medical journals, I had amassed a
small mountain of astounding research studies, findings and files on the use
of urine in medicine and healing, I discovered, among numerous other
things, that urine, far from being a toxic body waste, was actually a purified
derivative of the blood made by the kidneys which contains, not body wastes,
but rather an incredible array of critically important nutrients, enzymes,
hormones, natural antibodies and immune defense agents. 42 At the end of it all, as I sat tiredly in my chair eyeing the stacks of research
papers covering my desk, I realized that the medical community had pulled
off one of the biggest hoodwinks in history. Take for instance the doctor who
reported that "urine acts as an excellent and safe natural vaccine and has
been shown to cure a wide variety of disorders including hepatitis, whooping
cough, asthma, hay fever, hives, migraines, intestinal dysfunctions, etc. It is completely safe and causes no side effects." (J. Plesch, M.D., The
Medical Press, 1947); or the oncologist who reported that "a patient with
intractable ovarian cancer was treated with Human Urine Derivative and is
now completely well and enjoying the rest of her life." (Dr. M. Soeda,
University of Tokyo, 1968). These remarkable findings were published in
medical journals -but did you ever hear about them? And what about the immunologist who, after extensive clinical and
laboratory research stated: "It was rapidly appreciated that undiluted urine
administered orally was therapeutically effective for Immune Therapy and
was initiated when it became obvious that an allergic condition had become
uncontrollable." (Dr. C.W. Wilson, 1983, Law Hospital, Scotland). Or the Harvard medical researchers who discovered that active "antibodies
to cholera, typhoid, diphtheria, pneumonia, polio, leptospira and salmonella
have been found in the unconcentrated urine of infected individuals." (Lerner, Remington & Finland, Harvard Medical School, 1962). What abut the Scandinavian researcher who, in 1951, conclusively proved
that human urine can completely destroy tuberculosis? It's a deadly disease,
and is now resistant to antibiotics. Isn't it time someone told us that our own
urine is medically proven to be anti-tubercule? Then there's the research into wounds and burns using urea
(the primary solid component of urine). As only one research study among many reported:
"In America, urea has been used for the treatment of various infected
wounds and it has been found to be extremely efficient...
even the deepest wound can be treated effectively..•. Urea treatment has been successful where other treatments have failed. For external staph infections we found urea preferable to any other
dressing... there are no contra-indications to its use." (Dr. L. Muldavis, 1938,
Royal Free Hospital, London). Now these medical reports are only a few of the more than 50 research
studies I compiled and published in the book Your Own Peifect Medicine,
but they certainly give an indication of the importance of what we've never
been told about urine by the medical community. As far back as 1954, the Journal of the American Medical Association
(July issue) reported that "More scientific papers have probably been
published on urine than on any other organic compound." 43 Another publication revealed that "more than 1,000 technical and scientific
papers, related only to low molecular weight substances in urine,
appeared in medical and scientific literature in one single year." All this fuss about a substance that we're told is a body waste? I think one of the most interesting pieces of information on urine I came
across was the fact that the amniotic fluid that surrounds human infants in
the womb is primarily urine. Actually, the infant "breathes in" urine-filled
amniotic fluid continually, and without this fluid, the lungs don't develop. Doctors also believe that the softness of baby skin and the ability of in-utero
infants to heal quickly without scarring after pre-birth surgery is due to the
therapeutic properties of the urine-filled amniotic fluid. Reports on the extraordinary external benefits of urine abound as well. Medical studies relate remarkable cases of stubborn or "incurable" chronic,
severe eczema that miraculously disappear with urine therapy. Because urine
is both anti-viral and anti-bacterial, it's ideal for treating cuts, wounds and
abrasions of all kinds. Acne, rashes, athlete's foot and fungal skin problems
respond dramatically to urine soaks and compresses as well. (You'll f'md complete instructions for using urine therapy internally and
externally in Your Own Petfect Medicine.) For home use or emergency treatment care for wounds, poisonous bites or
stings, and even broken bones, urine is an incomparable, proven natural
healing agent that provides instantaneous therapeutic benefits under any
circumstances. For years, people have said to me, "Well, I have heard of people surviving by
ingesting their own urine, but I thought it was just a myth." Myth it isn't. Medical fact it is. As Dr. John R. Herman remarked in his article which
appeared in the New York State Journal of Medicine in June, 1980:
"Auto-uropathy (urine therapy) did.flourish in many parts of the world and
continues to flourish today.... there is unknown to most of us, a wide usage of
uropathy and a great volume of knowledge available showing the multitudinous
advantages of this modality. Actually, the listed constituents of human urine
can be carefully checked and no items not found in human diet are found in it. Percentages differ, but urinary constituents are valuable to
human metabolism." Your Body's Own Super-Nutrition Therapy
In 1975, one of the founders of Miles Laboratories, Dr. A.H. Free, published
his book Urinalysis in Clinical Laboratory Practice, in which he remarked
that not only is urine a sterile body compound (purer than distilled water),
but that "it is now recognized that urine contains thousands of compounds,
and as new, more sensitive analytical tools evolve, it is quite certain that new
constituents of urine will be recognized." 44 Among the urine constituents mentioned in Dr. Free's revealing treatise is a
list of nutrients that will knock your socks off. As Dr. Free comments, the
ingredients listed below are only a few critical nutrients found in urine:

you. God persists in of fering you wisdom to make the very best decisions. It is the dead of winter as I finish writing this book. During the many
months of writing, a pair of eagles—whom I’ve nicknamed Jack and Jill—
have been build ing a nest. Actu ally, they’re building what appears to be a
three-story condominium complex. At times I’ve seen only one of them doing the building. I’ve wondered
what happened to the other. Was he or she kicked out of the nest? Did theyhave a spat? W as there a divorce? Sometime later the other would show up, often carrying another branch
for the emer ging complex. Did he or she arrive with this gift to repair a
broken relationship? I don’ t know. As of today they are together. As of today they continue buildi ng, each
with respective responsibilities I don’t fully understand. What I know is I
have been shocked at their tenac ity. They have worked tirelessly throughout
the heat of summer, the cool breezes of fall, and now the freezing
temperatures of winter. They never stop. I’ve watched these majestic birds drag limbs ten times the length of
their bodies through the air to their nest-condo complex. With talons
clinging to their foundation material, flooring, and walls, they just keep
building, creating a nest for love to continue. I imagine Jack and Jill to be thrilled with their enterprise. Come spring,
if all goes according to plan, they’ll be raising a fine family on Puget
Sound. I imagine they love each other and are dedicated to loving each
other. Again, whether you choose to stay or leave, please continue to love. Create your own nest where you can love yourself and others. Persist in
your love. Love yourself well. Love others well. Love your mate, even if it
means from a distance. Maintain healthy boundaries, ensurin g safety, so
that you can love freely. The Path Forward
It is time to bring this book to a close. There is so much more I could
say, and I will wonder what I’ve forgotten. Is there a critical concept left
unsaid? I hope you will forgive me if I have not spoken strongly enough about a
particular issue. I hope you will understand I am writing about something
not fully understood. The path you are on is a relati vely new one. Many have gone before
you, but the path of recovery from narcissistic and emotional abuse is still
newly formed. Y ou are a trailblazer in every sense of the word. I hope you will let your voice be known. Teach friends, family,
churches, and communities about narcissistic and emotional abuse. Teachthe teachers. Teach the counselors who think they know what they’re
talking about, but are naive—including me. I wish you God’ s best in your path forward. OceanofPDF.comNOTES

 bag in the refrigerator. In this way the fruits may be
used for a few weeks of practice, and you will avoid infection. It is
of the highest importance to keep your mouth clean and free of
offensive odor. Casanova himself commented on the discouraging
effect of bad breath. In fact tongue Kung Fu will stimulate the
production of fresh, clean saliva, which you should swallow in a
single gulp to your navel. Taoists consider saliva to be a very
potent elixir that can be used to intensify and center one's chi. If
you have an ongoing problem with plaque coating your tongue, eat248 Taoist Secrets Of Love
less meat and more vegetables and use a tongue scraper to clean it
daily. The graduate school of tongue exercises involves the use of a
plastic ruler, which you alternately lift up and depress with the
broad base of the tongue. These Power Lifts strengthen the tongue
muscles and complement the darting practice. You may use any
flexible material such as wood, metal or bamboo for the ruler. Use
only smooth rulers, since any wound in the tongue is slow to heal. It sits in a medium full of microbes. If your tongue should happen
to suffer a cut for any reason, you may find it helpful to rinse the
mouth with boiled salt water thrice daily. Once you have practiced the secret tongue gymnastics, you
are ready to approach the fortunate partner of your choice. Find
the spots of her greatest sensitivity and lavish your skill upon them. Often you may find those points by watching where the woman
directs her hand or eye. When you've found the places where she wants you, enjoy
playing with your full complement of tongue techniques. What
pleases best in one place may not be what she craves in another. Watch for her responses; she will tell you with unmistakeable elo-
quence when you hit the mark. D. For tumescent nipples you may unfold the Drill Tongue. In
this esoteric practice the tip of the tongue drives the projecting
nipple back into the breast where it is whirled around in a little
circle, creating a thrilling spiral of energy. If you perform Tongue Kung Fu in the vagina, moisten the
right thumb and index finger. Put the thumb inside the vagina and
the wet index finger over the anus opening. Seal the anus to pre-
vent loss of your partner's energy. When your partner kisses your
genitals, have her seal your anus with a moistened middle finger
while she stimulates your scrotal region with the other fingers. I must emphasize the importance of being with partner who
observes reasonable standards of hygiene. The genitals and anus
are warm and moist, ideal conditions for bacterial growth. Wash
and keep them clean especially when you have sex. Odor can spoil
or lessen the enjoyment of sex. Like the tongue, the index finger is also a very powerful stim-
ulator. You may have it lightly explore the vagina and gently mas-
sage the clitoris. Keep your finger nails clean, especially the index
finger. Trim the nail quite short and file it to a smooth surfaceExercises To Increase Male Potency 249
which will not scratch sensitive tissues. The utmost gentleness
must be used in these attentions. Pain may upset your mate and
bring her pleasure to a screaming halt. The gentle of the index finger can easily stimulate the gland
(critoris) and the G spot which lie behind the pelvic bone, one inch
behind the gland (cretoris). DIAGRAM 37

These ancient time tested methods that have come down to us help
build the body's resistance to disease. (a) Cold Water Sitz Baths
This technique is extremely good to alkalize the blood of the
genital groin area. This increases blood flow to the genital area,
stimulating the prostate and production of sperm for the man (and
stimulating the hormones in a woman), thus increasing sexual po-
tential. The procedure is quite simple. Just squat or sit in a tub of
cold water so that your genitals, anus, and coccyx are submerged
in the water. Minimum time for this is ten to twenty minutes. Start
with cool water and gradually accustom yourself to colder tem-
peratures. (b) Alternating Hot and Cold Water Baths, Showers or Sitz
BathsExercises To Increase Male Potency 251
This also is an ancient technique in which one alternately
plunges into first hot, then cold water. This method increases blood
circulation, tonefies the body, increases resistance to disease, and
stimulates hormone production, thus increasing sexual potential. One must stay for a minimum of three minutes in either hot or cold
baths before one alternates to the other temperature extreme. And,
one must alternate at least six times to be effective. Try for 12 times
is best, with at least three minutes in each one. If you don't have
time, during your morning shower begin it hot—while soaping—
and finish with a cold rinse. One may also instead of plunging into the bath, gradually
enter first with your toes, then legs, body, back, shoulders, ab-
domen, and lastly the head. This way the body gradually accli-
mates itself to the temperature change. Those suffering from high
blood pressure, heart disease, kidney disease, etc., can also enjoy
alternating hot and cold baths, but be careful and go slowly. (c) Exposing the Skin to the Air (Air Bath)
This is very healthy for the body, aerating the skin. It gets rid
of musty odors, builds the body's resistance to disease, and helps
blood circulation. It keeps the male genitals cooler than the rest of
his body temperature thus increasing his sexual potential. The
thought of running naked on a beach or in a mountain field has
much appeal. One gets exposed and absorbs much needed negative
ions. The weather should be moderate to warm, the temperature
typical of late spring through early fall. This can also be done
sitting inside your house naked with the windows open. Do not use
this practice as a way to exciting your sexual fantasies as it will
waste the chi. Think about how healthy you feel. HARMONIOUS ENERGY FOR THE HOMOSEXUAL
In Chinese practice Heaven is Yang or male and Earth is Yin or
female. When both lovers are of the same sex, there are two poles
of Yang (homosexuals) or Yin (lesbians). There is an inherent im-
balance in this type of relationship which favors instability and
violence, and blocks progress to higher levels of balancing sexual
energy. To attain a more harmonious balance it is essential for those
that love their own sex to find a source of the opposite type of
energy; otherwise, they will receive too much imbalanced force. 252 Taoist Secrets Of Love
Fortunately, there are sources of female energy which the
male may absorb to his great benefit. Likewise there are available
means whereby the lesbian may obtain additional yang energy. This is because man and woman are not the only sources of yin and
yang but small reservoirs of these energies which stream through
creation. The key is in the very first line of this chapter: heaven is male
and earth is female. Thus the man who needs yin energy but prefers
not to receive it from its human container will absorb it from the
earth; and woman will draw in the male potency from its source,
the heavens. For the man to draw in the yin energy, he lies belly down,
embracing the earth. One leg is straight and one bent at the knee. He will pull in the energy from the earth. He must try to have no
sexual thoughts. The genitals should not touch the ground, but
hang a little above it. Relax and gather your concentration by
breathing deeply in and out through the nose. Think the power

using this palms down position. Think the earth energy

from the earth slowly into the penis. This basic practice applies to
man: think the power up through your breathing. As you inhale, draw the power up as if you were absorbing up
fluid in a Straw: the fluid is the power and the straw is the penis. From the penis draw it past the hui yin, chang-chiang, and up the
back to the head. Store the yin power in the head. In due course it
will overflow the crown and move down the front of the body and
return to the hui yin. When this point is reached, you may bring it
up the front of the body to the navel and work the centers navel,
solar plexus and heart, respectively, in the manner described in the
Yin-Yang Exchange. Put away all obsessive erotic thoughts or it

Overview:  Like its counterpart, Cow pose, Cat pose is a simple
and appropriate posture for almost any practitioner. As its name
implies, this pose evokes our furtive, cat-like nature by gracefully
stretching the whole back of the body and bringing our focus
inward. How-to:  From hands and knees, align your wrists under your
shoulders and your knees under your hips. Spread your ﬁngers
comfortably wide and press into the pads of your hands. Take a
breath in, and as you exhale, draw the navel toward the spine,
rounding your upper back and tucking in your tailbone. Let your
head drop down toward the ﬂoor and stretch in between the
shoulder blades. Benefits:  Physically, Cat pose stretches the muscles along the
spine, the rhomboids, and the back of the neck. It stretches thewrists and strengthens the hands, the forearms, and the upper
body. It improves digestion by massaging the digestive organs. Energetically, this pose activates the exhalation, which is
calming and soothing. It opens the back gates of all the chakras,
especially the second, third, fourth, and ﬁfth, inducing a state of
introspection and connection inward. Engage mula, uddiyana, and jalandhara bandha, or treta
bandha. Increases samana vayu. Therapeutic applications:  Excellent for pregnant women to help
create space in the belly and relieve lower back discomfort; helps
with mild scoliosis, corrects poor posture (lordosis, or excessive
inward curvature of the spine), helps with constipation. Helpful tip: This pose is usually done in tandem with Cow pose
(see this page). Inhale: Cow. Exhale: Cat. OceanofPDF.comTIGER POSE: VYAGHRASANA
Overview:  Like a tiger waking up from a nap, this pose stretches
the opposing limbs of the body. It helps build symmetry in the
body and dexterity in the mind, keeping us balanced, steady, and
alert. How-to:  From hands and knees, stretch the right leg back at hip
height, keeping all ﬁve toes pointing down toward the ﬂoor. Extend your left arm forward alongside your ear with your
ﬁngertips pointing toward the wall in front of you. Draw your navel
toward the spine and gaze at a point a little bit in front of you. Breathe fully in and out. Benefits:  Physically, this pose strengthens the hamstrings, the
gluteus muscles, the abdominal muscles, and the muscles along
the spine. It helps to create symmetry in the body and works both
hemispheres of the brain simultaneously. Energetically, Tiger pose builds focus, concentration, and
patience. It works on the third and sixth chakras.Engage slight mula bandha, uddiyana bandha, and jalandhara
bandha. Stimulates samana vayu. Therapeutic applications:  Excellent for pregnant women, eases
the pain of scoliosis, reduces lower back pain, alleviates anxiety,
stimulates digestion. Helpful tips: If your kneecaps are sensitive, place a blanket
underneath your knees. If your shoulders are tight, take the
extended arm farther away from the ear or bend the elbow in a
cactus position. OceanofPDF.comDOWNWARD-FACING DOG POSE: ADHO MUKHA SVANASANA
Overview:  This pose mimics our furry friends by sending the tail
up toward the sky and bowing the head down toward the ground,
creating a profound overall stretch for the body. Just as in Cow
pose and Cat pose, our hands become our feet in Downward-
Facing Dog. This posture changes our perspective on the world
around us and powerfully shifts the consciousness within us. How-to:  From Cat pose, walk your hands 1–2 inches in front of
your shoulders. Curl your toes into the mat. Firmly press your
hands into the ﬂoor, lift your hips up, and back away from the ﬂoor. Begin to straighten your legs as best you can without losing the
length of your spine. Align your heels behind the widest part of
your feet and release your heels toward the ﬂoor. Straighten your
elbows, relax your head and your neck, and breathe fully in and
out.Benefits:  Physically, this pose stretches the hamstrings, the
calves, the feet, the shoulder girdle, and the wrists. It helps to
relieve tension in the neck, and strengthens the quadriceps and
the upper body. It is also a mild inversion, so it brings blood ﬂow to
the brain. Energetically, Downward-Facing Dog opens the back gates of
all chakras but speciﬁcally targets the ﬁrst, ﬁfth, and sixth of these
energy centers. It helps us stay grounded while also enabling us to
see things from a new perspective. This pose helps to release the
unconscious energy lodged in the backs of the legs. It can help
calm the mind, relieve stress, and reduce anxiety. Engage uddiyana and jalandhara bandha to facilitate the
movement of energy up to the crown. Engage ashvini mudra to
create length in the spine. Increases udana vayu. Therapeutic applications:  This pose helps with carpal tunnel
syndrome and relieves headaches, insomnia, back pain, and
fatigue. It can help reduce high blood pressure and asthma,
relieves ﬂat feet, and is helpful for sciatica and sinusitis. Downward-
Facing Dog can also be therapeutic for compressed or bulging
discs by creating traction in the spine and neck. Helpful tips:  If your hamstrings are tight, take the feet wider than
hip-distance apart and/or bend both knees so the spine can
lengthen. If your shoulders are tight, take your hands slightly wider
than shoulder-distance apart and point the ﬁngertips out toward
the corner edges of your mat. If you have wrist or shoulder injuries,
or are fatigued in Downward-Facing Dog, try Child’s Pose,
Balasana, as an alternative: Lower the knees to the ﬂoor and move
your seat back toward your heels. Rest your belly onto your thighs,
your elbows onto the ﬂoor, and your forehead onto the mat. Rest
here, allowing the weight of your body to release to the ﬂoor. OceanofPDF.comPLANK POSE: PHALAKASANA
Overview:  This posture teaches us how to build resilience
through a strong core while harnessing the free ﬂow of the breath. We are reminded of how capable we are of moving through
challenges and that clarity often comes when we stay present with
them. How-to:  From Downward-Facing Dog pose, shift your weight
forward so that your shoulders line up over your wrists and your
hips line up with your shoulders. Lift the tops of your thighs and
keep your gaze ﬁxed on the front edge of your mat. Stretch your
heels toward the wall behind you as you reach the center of your
chest forward, toward the wall in front of you. Lift your navel toward
the spine and broaden across the collarbones. Breathe fully in and
out. Benefits:  Physically, this posture strengthens the quadriceps,
the pelvic ﬂoor, the lower abdominal muscles, the obliques, the
forearms, and the upper body. It stretches the wrists.Energetically, Plank pose builds tapas. It works on the third
chakra, generating a sense of will, courage, and self-
empowerment. It also helps tone the pelvic ﬂoor to strengthen
mula bandha. Engage mula and uddiyana bandha. Increases samana vayu. Therapeutic applications:  Plank pose can help reduce lower
back pain by strengthening the core. It helps boost metabolism
and can aid in reducing obesity. Helpful tips: If you cannot sustain this pose without sinking in
the lower back or straining your breath, lower the knees to the
ﬂoor. If you have a wrist injury, lower your forearms to the ﬂoor. Place a block in between the thighs to awaken the muscles of the
legs. OceanofPDF.comLOW


NHEJ). The first method uses a duplicate set of DNA as a template to repair the damaged DNA, and
the second method (NHEJ) is able to repair the break directly without outside influ -
ence. 7 The first method of DNA repair, homologous recombination, is more accurate
than NHEJ because it uses the undamaged DNA strand from its template to make
sure the repair is done correctly and no nucleotides are lost in the transaction as it 84 Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease
often happens with NHEJ. How the cell determines whether homologous recombina -
tion or NHEJ will be used to repair a break is not entirely clear. It is estimated that one DNA double-strand break in a key gene is enough to
kill the cell outright or cause the cell to trigger the more complex process of
apoptosis.8
The double-stranded DNA breaks can be repaired by the mammalian cell using
powerful methods to repair this damage as soon as it happens.9 To understand how
DMSO may help repair double-stranded DNA breaks, a review of the mammalian cell’s response to this type of genotoxic damage is in order. In the first place, the pathologic forms of double-stranded DNA breaks are repaired by NHEJ because they often occur when a nearby homology donor is not available. 10 Common causes
of double-stranded DNA breaks are ionizing radiation (Figure 4.1) and ROS from an overactive oxidative metabolism. 11
Ionizing radiation from x-rays and gamma rays passes through human bodies
every day at a rate of 300 million ionizing particles/h, and as they do, they create free radicals from water along their path. Radiation damage can strike DNA inside the living cell in two ways: first, by ionizing the DNA atoms and changing them to ions, and second, by ionizing water molecules to produce free radicals that can react with and damage DNA molecules. Free radicals formed in this manner can damage DNA by inducing single- and double-strand breaks. These breaks are easily fixed by the cells using NHEJ, which requires specific enzymes such as a nuclease to resect the damaged DNA, a polymerase to fill in new DNA, and a ligase to restore integrity to the DNA strands. 10 When these repair enzymes are unavailable, repair agents such
as DMSO can be used with relative success, as discussed later. A second major cause of double-stranded DNA breaks occurs when ROS are
formed. ROS can form from environmental pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), which are industrial chemicals used as dielectrics in capacitors, as lubricants, and as flame retardants in cooling fluids. 12
Despite the fact that PCB production in the United States was halted in the late
1970s, it is estimated that more than a million tons of PCB particles have escaped into the environment worldwide where they persist and accumulate through the food chain in animal tissues, including humans. 13 Studies have reported a causal link
between exposure to PCBs and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a frequently fatal form of cancer
14 as well as other cancers, including liver and biliary cancer,15 breast cancer,16
and skin cancer.17
Double-stranded DNA breaks have also been linked to malignant brain tumors
such as gliomas, meningiomas, and medulloblastomas.18
These findings are of intense interest with respect to the properties DMSO is
observed to exert as an agent that can help repair DNA double-strand breaks and its potential as a therapeutic and chemosuppressor of various forms of cancer arising primarily from DNA damage. The radioprotective properties of DMSO have been known for a long time and
were first reported by Ashwood-Smith
19 in 1961 following the work on the ability of
some sulfoxides to suppress the effect of irradiation. A series of other reports soon followed showing that the application of DMSO to newborn rat skin protected them from damage from x-ray exposure. 2085 DMSO in Genetics
A study on the fruit fly ( Drosophila melanogaster ) given DMSO via the abdomen
showed a significant reduction of x-ray-induced mortalities and sex-linked recessive
lethal mutations of male sperm.21 That report concluded that DMSO provided radio -
protection to the fruit fly at both the whole-body and genetic levels.21 However, that
conclusion was at odds with another experiment that showed DMSO did not protect mouse testes subjected to x-irradiation. 22
A common malady among elderly people exposed to solar radiation was shown
to have been completely prevented in mice after x-ray radiation (1000 radians) when DMSO was prophylactically applied topically to the eyes. 23
These early studies were rarely followed up by pharmaceutical firms or academic
institutions with human trials even when the therapeutic potential to neutralize or
lessen ionizing radiation damage from solar, nuclear reactions, radioactive  m aterials,
x-rays, and other external sources of beta and gamma rays to human and animal body parts seemed not only obvious but also medically warranted. This was par -
ticularly baffling especially because the sources for radiation damage were strongly linked to many types of cancer even in the early 1950s following the nuclear bomb -
ings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 and a study of the populations affected by this radiation exposure. To our knowledge and perplexity, the military forces in the United States, who
would have an extra interest in protecting its more vulnerable personnel from radia -
tion exposure and damage from any source, never showed an interest in either funding extracurricular investigations with DMSO or employing its own research facilities to study radiation prevention and treatment. The exact explanation for the radioprotective effects of DMSO on tissue exposed
to ionizing radiation remains unclear, but the effects are generally attributed to the suppression of DNA damage caused by the indirect action of radiation and the for -
mation of hydroxyl radicals, which DMSO is able to scavenge and neutralize. 1,2,20
However, this conclusion was questioned by more recent experiments on golden
hamster embryo cells treated with DMSO after exposure to gamma rays. Although gamma ray damage to DNA single-strand breaks yielded hydroxyl radicals, the prin -
cipal protective effects of DMSO were observed to be not due to the scavenging of hydroxyl radicals, but rather due to the scavenging of H
+ atoms or other ions, which
created protective DMSO radicals.24,25
The finding that DMSO may act to protect golden hamster embryonic cells from
radiation damage by scavenging H+ ions does not negate that in other models, using
other conditions to produce DNA strand breaks, DMSO can also be effective in its protection of DNA strand breaks through the inhibition of free radicals, includ -
ing those cytotoxic molecules known to damage DNA including ROS and hydroxyl radicals. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are a cell line derived from the ovary of the
Chinese hamster used routinely in biological and medical research in genetic studies and gene expression. CHO are the preferred host cell lines in biological research and mutagenesis
studies because of their rapid growth, ease of manipulation, and high production of recombinant therapeutic proteins such as monoclonal antibodies, growth factors, hormones, blood factors, interferons, and enzymes. 2686 Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease
Ionizing radiation-sensitive mutants of CHO cell lines that are deficient in DNA
repair of single- and double-strand breaks are a preferred model to unravel the com -
plexities of DNA repair and to screen potential therapies that can aid in the DNA
repair process. DMSO was tested for its protective effects against the induction and rejoining of
DNA double-strand breaks and inactivation using CHO cells exposed to both high- and low-linear energy transfer (LET) radiations. 27 The cells were exposed under
aerobic conditions as monolayers to either low-LET photons or high-LEt alpha par -
ticle radiation. Gamma irradiation in the presence of 0.5 mol/dm3 DMSO, 90%, was
observed to be rejoined within a 3 h incubation. It was inferred that this action by DMSO was due to the scavenging of free radicals near the double-strand breaks after gamma radiation, but this was not the case after alpha particle radiation. 27 It seemed
likely that the severity of damage reduced by DMSO was due to minimizing the formation of hydroxyl-induced sugar/base assault forming near the vicinity of the double-strand breaks. 27
The frequency of human chromosomal aberrations induced by irradiation was
examined in the presence of 0.5 M DMSO.28 The number of aberrations of human
chromosomes 1–4, 7, 11, and 12 in the presence of DMSO was found significantly reduced following irradiation as calculated by DNA content. 28
These studies suggest that DMSO may exert two viable protective mechanisms
in repairing single and double DNA strand breaks by its ability to capture both the damaging H
+ ions and hydroxyl radicals formed after ionizing radiation. In a series of studies from Kyoto University in Japan, investigators tested different
concentrations of DMSO on CHO cells irradiated with x-rays. At 1.28 mM DMSO, cells were treated for 2 h before and during irradiation. 29 These studies showed that

www.thegersonway.comare anemic, additional Vitamin B 12 is needed to help restore the hemoglobin content of the blood,
promoting the formation and maturation of red blood cells. It works against different types of
anemia and even against degenerative changes in the spinal cord. As seen in animal experiments,
this vitamin is able to restore a wide range of tissues damaged by age, chronic illness, surgery,
degenerative diseases, or various kinds of poisoning. Intra-muscular Liver Extract (3 cc) with
added 50 mcg of B 12—a tiny amount, a 20th of one cc) is given daily for four or more months. Later the frequency is reduced to every other day, and still later—sometimes after as much as a
year—to twice a week. Pancreatin : This is an extract of various pancreatic digestive enzymes, normally needed
to digest fats, proteins and sugar. Gerson patients don’t consume those substances; however,
these enzymes are vitally important in the digestion and elimination of tumor tissue. The dosage
is 3 tablets of.325mg each four times a day—one after each meal, plus an additional dose in
mid-afternoon. For exceptionally large tumors 2-3 tablets a day of a more concentrated 1200mg
pancreatin may be added to the patient’s medication. Some patients cannot tolerate pancreatin and
have to do without it. Dr. Gerson also omitted pancreatin for sarcoma cases. Acidol Pepsin : These tablets supply digestive stomach juices, badly needed by patients
suffering from chronic diseases, who tend to have insufficient stomach acid and digestive pepsin. As a result they have poor appetite and poor digestion. Since the Gerson treatment is based on the
patient’s optimum intake of food and juices, the stomach needs help for the intake and digestion
of food. Acidol Pepsin aids protein digestion and the absorption of iron, while helping to eliminate
gas and bloating. The dosage is six tablets a day, two to be taken before  each meal. No Acidol is
given in cases of acid reflux, stomach ulcers or other inflammatory or irritated conditions of the
stomach. Ox Bile Powder : This helps to emulsify the castor oil, which is used in the castor oil/coffee
enemas. The powder is mixed into the castor oil and stirred, before the slightly soapy coffee is
added. Flax Seed Oil : Also known as food grade linseed oil, this contains both essential fatty
acids (EFA’s): linoleic acid and linolenic acid, and is particularly rich in the Omega 3 series, as
discovered by Dr. Johanna Budwig. The therapeutic effects of flax seed oil are many:
• It attracts oxygen at the cell membrane and transports oxygen into the cell;
•  It is able to detoxify fat-soluble toxins, and helps to dissolve and remove plaque;
• It is a carrier of Vitamin A, which is important for the immune system; and
•  It removes excess cholesterol, an important function, since patients’ cholesterol levels
sometimes rise during the initial stages of the Therapy. Dose: two tablespoons daily for the first month, then one tablespoon daily for the rest of the
treatment. Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved. This material may not be reproduced in any medium, print or electronic without prior written permission from the author.Page 121Healing the Gerson Way—Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases

cautiously at first, since some patients are hypersensitive to this substance. To start with, the dose
is 50mg daily for 5-7 days, then it is increased to 100mg per day, to reach 500-600mg daily. Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

Pain Control Without Drugs
A large percentage of patients arrive at the Gerson Therapy hospital in pain, on heavy pain
 control medication including morphine, codeine, or the two combined, e.g. in the drug
Oxi-Contin. These drugs are highly toxic, and since detoxifying the body is the basic aim of the
Gerson Therapy, every effort has to be made to control the patients’ pain without the use of toxic
drugs. The first tool to achieve this is the coffee enema (see Chapter 13.) Removing the accumulated
toxins from the liver enables that vital organ to absorb and release more poisons stored in the body;
this immediately brings relief to the patient. It does not, however, get rid of the pain altogether:
mild pain relief drugs, such as aspirin, Ibuprofen or Tylenol might be needed. But these may not
work if the patient had been used to morphine. In such cases the Gerson doctor will use one or
more of the following:
Clay packs
Castor oil packs
The “Triad”: 1 aspirin, 1 Vitamin C (500 mg), 1 niacin (50 mg)
Hyperthermia (artificial fever)
Laetrile
Oxygen treatments
Rebounding
This is how to apply them :
Clay (mud) packs
Clay packs help to relieve ‘hot’ inflammations around arthritic joints and tumors, and in
other areas of fluid retention. The best clay is Montmorillonite (not of marine origin), which
also absorbs toxins through the skin. Taken internally in peppermint tea (1/4 to 1⁄2 teaspoonful
to a cup), clay even helps to clear diarrheas and general food poisoning. Clay packs have long
been used in many parts of the world. Applied around the head, they are even able to alleviate
headaches and seizures. The clay pack is prepared by mixing the dry clay powderwith enough hot distilled  water to
make a spreadable paste, neither too runny nor too dry. A layer about 2-3 mm thick is spread on
a piece of clean white  cloth, placed on the affected area and covered with a piece of plastic and a
wool cloth. Secured in position, it can be left in place for 2-3 hours and removed and discarded

www.thegersonway.comwhen it has become dry. Clay packs may be used two or three times a day, as required, but must
NOT be placed on an open lesion. Castor Oil packs
Warm castor oil packs help to alleviate muscle and bone pain, spasms and cramping, including
those in the liver area or in any part of the body that is painful. They increase circulation, relax
muscles and disperse toxicity, and act fast and reliably. To prepare a castor oil pack, a piece of white wool flannel is cut into three identical pieces,
large enough to cover the affected area. The usual size is about 9” by 11.” One piece of flannel is
placed on a flat surface and covered with a thin layer of castor oil. The second piece goes on top
of this and is also spread with the oil. The third piece covers this, making something like a triple-
decker sandwich. This basic pack is laid on the skin over the painful area, covered with a slightly
larger sheet of plastic to prevent nasty stains on bedclothes or nightwear, and kept securely in
position with a bandage or other suitable material. Finally a mildly warm ( not hot)  water bottle
is placed on top of the pack. This is preferable to an electric heating pad, whose electro-magnetic
output would interfere with the body’s own energy field. The pack can be left in place for several hours or even all day and all night, provided that the
water in the bottle is replaced as it cools. A few patients have felt discomfort, as the castor oil pack
increased the liver’s healing activity. In such cases the pack was removed and re-used another
time. The castor oil pack can be saved and re-used. Some patients reported the best results from
alternating the clay and the castor oil packs, which is perfectly acceptable. The “Triad”
Dr. Gerson used this combination of three tablets successfully in many cases. Once the
patient is sufficiently detoxified, the three tablets together act more powerfully than they would
separately.


’ve got the jerk, who is the
body that has to react to what kind of thoughts you have. So  if you call
yourself a jerk, you have a thought of jerk and you have the jerk who has to
react. M editation can help you to bring those two selves into harmony so
that self one, the thought, and self two, the body, are in unity. Y ou are only
calling yourself what you want y ourself to be, and you are only seeing what
it is that you want in your mind for your body to do. Y ou can start to apply this by c losing your eyes and getting in to a very
quiet space. In fact, all you have to do if you don’ t have time to meditate is
take the last hour before you go to sleep and use it in this way, because it
will give  you a strong sense of total rest and relaxation, like y ou’ve never
experienced before. An hour of meditation will give you eig ht hours of
deep, restorative sleep. It’ s that powerful. It’ s said that this practice can ev en alter our own chemistry. Y o u can use
meditation to reach an ecstatic, b eautiful, exquisite high state that people sodesperately look  for in chemica ls. I think it would be especially beneficial
to teach young p eople about the power of their mind, so that they wouldn’ t
be temp ted to chase counterfeit freedom. Personally, meditation  has always
filled me with the most wonderful sense of peace and harmony. It’ s a
magnificent feeling, like you really are in touch with God. THE LA WNMOWER MANTRA
There’ s a nice story of a man w ho was bothered by a car honking for his
neighbors next door. He said to his wife, “If I had magical powers, I would
be able to give that car four flat tires every time he comes here. Or I’d be
able to put a silencer on that h orn and wouldn’ t even be able  to hear it. That’ s w hat I would do if I had magical powers.” She replied, “No. If you
had magical powers, you wouldn’ t be disturbed by that horn at all.”
Quieting your mind means that you’re no longer susceptible to all of the
external influences that are around you. For an example of this, you can
watch the US O pen T ennis Championships, which are played in  New Y ork,
right ne ar LaGuardia Airport. I’m always amazed when I s ee how the
players are able to play with the distraction and noise of jets flying
overhead. Y et when I’ve been really involved in a tennis match myself, I’ve
had jackhammers going next to me and not noticed them. My opponent
could be  going crazy from the n oise, but all my concentration is  on the ball. The people who are really good at a game, or any activity that requires
concentration, know how to do that. This makes me think of something that happened when I was on vacation
in Hawaii with my family some years ago. For seven days in a row, I got up
at 5:30 every single morning an d went out to meditate in a gras sy area next
to our hotel. One day I was sitting on my m at, and I was in a blissful stat e. I felt a
Divine e ner gy g oing up and do wn my spine, and it felt so go od. All of a
sudden, I heard this noise. V rrm vrrm. V rrm vrrm vrrm vr rm vrrm vrrm
vrrm. I  looked  up, and there was a mean-looking guy with a cigarette in his
mouth and tattoos covering his a rms. I realized that even though it was very
early in the mor ning, he was go ing to cut the grass. My first thought was,
Oh, no. I stood up, gathered my mat, and started to leave. Then all of asudden, my intuition came to m e and said, “Go back. Go back a nd use this. This is a metaphysical experien ce.” It’ s not that I was hearing voices; this
was an internal thing. I thought, Huh? But I put the mat back down, and within about two
minutes I went r ight back into m y meditative state. My intuition said, “Use
the l awnmower for a mantra.” So e very time I heard, V rrm vrr m vrrm  vrrm,
I’d think to myself, Oh yes. I got back into that blissful state. The guy cutting the grass came by my mat, and the sound was incredibly
loud. I thought, God, I’m her e and I’m listening, but why would Y ou send
this person to me at six in the morning? I see, this is a test. After about 10 minutes, he finally finished, and I was happy he was done. I wa s ge tting back into that very peaceful place when I heard  the loudest
noise I have ever heard in my life. My friend was back, and he had an edger
this time. As G od is my witness, this guy decided to edge my mat. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I thought, Okay, God. I’m going to use the edger for a mantra. I’m
staying her e. I’ve got to turn this into something. He wen t right by my mat,
Brrrrrrrrrrrrr. I  stayed with it. I didn’ t let the distraction get to me. It was
about half an hour of this, but the louder the edger got, the easier it got for
me. He f inished his yard work, and I finished meditating. I’ll bet he  thought,
Boy, this  guy is in some kind of trance, or he’ s dead. One or the other. It
really felt as if I had come out of a trance. When you end such a meditation,
it’ s like you can fly. Y ou can do anything, and all you have is love, all you
have is harmony, all you have  is peace for yourself and for the world. Nobody and nothing can get to you, no matter what. As I  wal ked tow ard this guy, I could see he was very tense. Now keep in
mind that I was  about a foot taller than him. He probably thou ght, This is
what I’m her e for. This guy’ s going to fight me. I reached into my pocket,
where I found about eight dollar s, and gave them to him. I said, “Thank you
so much  for being here. I really needed you today.” He looked at me like, I
don’ t know what’ s going on her e, but I smiled and walked away. It w as th e greate st evidence I’ve ever experienced to prove that when life
hands you lemons, you can make lemonade. I was taught that day that
everything that comes to you, y ou have the power in your mind to turn it
into whatever you want. W e a ll get lawnmowers coming into our livesevery da y. What  we do with them and how we handle them, well, that is the
way to our personal transformation. CHAPTER 1 1
LIVE IN THE LIGHT
Ram Da ss tells one of my favorite stories of all time. It’ s about  his guru,
with whom he lived and worked  for years in India, a man he considered to
be the most spiritually advanced person he’d ever met in his life. At that time Ram Dass was doing some experimenting with T imothy
Leary and the li ke, so he had three capsules of LSD with him. “ That would
be enough,” he said, “to put a horse into a tranquilized state  for several
days.” H e had planned to use this LSD for a number of months, just one or
two micrograms at a time. His guru said to him, “Y ou have funny medicine... let me see it.” Ram
Dass showed him the capsules b ut warned, “Y ou don’ t want to take all three
of these. Y ou should only take a few micrograms from one of t he capsules,
and that will give you the desired ef fect.”
His guru took all three capsules, put them in his mouth, and swallowed. He went under his blanket, and then came out and did all these funny
things. Then he smiled and said, “Do you have any more? It doesn’ t seem to
be working.”
Ram Dass realized that the drugs had no ef fect on his guru at all. This
was his conclusi on, which is one of the greatest lines I’ve ever heard on this
subject: “If you’re already in Detroit, you don’ t have to take a bus to get
there.” In other words, when someone is already in the spiritual world, they
don’ t need anything to get them there. Learning how to “get to Detroit” for us means achieving what we’ve
been tal king about in this book. It’ s when we are comfortably in the place
that is powerfully ours. It’ s when we understand that thought originates
with us, which means that life is our own creation. W e know th at our form
will sim ply pass  along, but we can’ t kill thought, so who

FLETCHERIZING AS A TEMPERANCE
EXPEDIENT
Tramp Reform — A Remarkable Man — How to Enjoy Wine—
Fletcherism as a Cure for Morbid Cravings—A Trial of Fletcherismand its Results—Fletcherism as First Aid. NOW we come to a phase of the merits of
Fletcherism which has already furnished anabundance of evidence to its credit. In my firstexperiment, not yet under academicsupervision, with no laboratory measurementswherewith to describe the results in chemicalterms, I was dealing with a company of ordinarytramps picked up in the streets of Chicago.They simply ate what they chose to order fromthe bill of fare of a cheap restaurant, but weretold to chew everything for all it was worth,which they made no objection to doing. Timewas of no value to them, and they reallydiscovered new delights of gustatory pleasurewhich they had not known before. Tramps aregenerally persons of resourcefulness and have a
cultivated appreciation. Their resourcefulnessconsists chiefly of being able to live withoutworking, and their appreciation is made keen bythe lottery of chance in seeking to get somethingfor which they give nothing. My tramps were beery and bleery as tramps
generally are, but not so dirty; for I paid forbaths, washing, and in some instancesfurnished clothing. Besides supplying theseluxuries, I gave them occasionally a big silverdollar which they called a " cart wheel." It was surprising to see these degenerates
freshen up jn appearance and lose theirblotchiness and greasiness of facial appearance.I knew how to talk to them to get theirconfidence, and they looked on me as justanother " freak" like themselves, but with somekind of a money " pull." There were fat and thinamong them, and it was a matter of surprise
that after a little some of the thin got stouter and
the fat fell off in weight at the same time. One of
them was a belligerent socialist and the authorof a well-known book which had quite a voguein the earlier history of present-day socialism.Up to the time I began my own experiment, I
had been a social drinker of alcohol in all formsto the full extent of "gentlemanly decency," withoccasional slips when near the outer edge thatmade me ashamed of myself after I got soberagain. I am now more ashamed than ever whenI am reminded of my early foolishness, but sincemy experiences are being turned to goodaccount I forgive myself. Not only were socialoccasions an excuse, but I often ordered thesocial occasions to serve as an excuse. I hadnever resorted to snake-bites to give legitimateexcuses, but I so crowded my resources in thisdirection that at one time I held the " record,"for the community in which I lived, for whatwas called " hollowness of legs and steadiness ofhead," and so much was this " strength ofcharacter " valued in that community inAmerica, that one was supposed to take pride inholding the record. The result of my own pursuit of thorough
tasting of my food had been that my ownponderosity of front weight fell off, and at thesame time I had no desire for wine or beer. Itwas all a surprise to me, but it was not anamazing surprise until one day one of my tramp
guests came to me and said : " Boss, this eatin'game is great; think of me with a dollar in mypocket and not wantin' beer." In a short time I forgot that I had ever liked
wine or beer. It never occurred to me to order itexcept for a guest, and then I took it with him,or, rather them, for there were usually severalor many at my eating parties, but in theFletcherian manner which is so eminentlyEpicurean that a few sips went as far as a half-bottle used to do. Here is an important point inprofitable economics that any one candemonstrate for himself at once and not rely onmy say-so, or that of any one else. Later on Iwill tell how to do it. The secret is worth itsweight in gold as an Epicurean prize as well asa money-saver. I have to tell, a little further on,of a very large experiment which came as asurprise also. It was in a section of country, andamong a class of people, where to escape fromthe toils of the drink demon is nothing short of amiracle.A REMARKABLE  MAN. But before I relate this climaxic experience I
will once more refer to one of the mostremarkable men I have had the pleasure ofmeeting. His case covers more sides of healthyvariety than that of almost any one, but he haseven a better showing in some respects thanany. He is an M.D. ; a Ph.D.; an Sc.D. ; an A.M.;and a P.H.D. ; which last is the " stiffest exam. "of them all. He is a champion athlete; the fatherof an all-round college champion; and asgraceful a gymnast as any one ever saw do the" Giant Swing " on the horizontal bar. He is alsoa grandfather and now past fifty. This was his experience in 1902 or 1903, in
connection with my being called to New Havento submit to examination under the supervisionof Professor Chittenden. It is Dr. Anderson towhom I refer, and he permits my stating hisexperience as often as I like for the good it willdo. My expression of appreciation of hisacademic and athletic accomplishments is allmy own and not authorized. When I was turned over to Dr. Anderson for
physical examination in the Yale gymnasium,my fitness was surprising to him as he has
stated in his reports. He was also ripe for thereasonableness of my revelations. He seemed tome to be in the " pink of condition " himself, andhe was so, as " pink " was judged at the time, fora man of his age. Dr. Anderson tried more careful mastication
than usual, and paid more attention to thethorough enjoyment of his food with the samepleasant results that come to everybody whenmaking the trial, no matter how moderate andtemperate they have been before. It isequivalent to putting a little keener edge onappetite than usual. Children and even fineladies will perk up a little when they areconscious of being noticed, and the humansenses are human in more ways than one. Dr. Anderson was pleased with the new
revelation as a pleasure promoter, but did notnotice that he was forgetting to take his dailyprescription of stimulant.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        If you will try the experiment when youare " good and hungry," having a " working-man's appetite," and disposing of good breadand butter the while, which should have nearly,or quite, seventy bites to the ordinary mouthful,you will find that thirty mouthfuls will prettynearly, or completely, satisfy your working-man's appetite. Mixed foods take much lesstime, usually about half, and still the seventy-five-rhythm act will consume only about twentyminutes to perform with physiologicthoroughness. SALIVAL  ACTION  ON STARCH  FOODS. Here are some statements easy to prove or
disprove by anyone, with real compensation inthe way of new revelations relative to thepossibilities of gustatory enjoyment. Starchy foods, such as bread, potatoes, etc.,
require from thirty to seventy masticatorymovements to assist saliva to turn the starchinto " grape sugar," which is the form in whichit can be used as nourishment. *
You will at once think, no doubt, that a range
of numbers extending from thirty to seventy ispretty wide. So it is; but conditions regardingthe qualities of not only breads, but potatoes,and also conditions relative to the strength orsupply of saliva, differ greatly. When theappetite is keen, the mouth watering, as theyare at the beginning of a meal, bread or potatoesmay be negotiated into nutriment ready for the

more than fifteen years in the best physiological-chemicallaboratories for long periods of time—and always emulating the
man from Missouri in demanding of the wise ones in the science
of the laboratories to " Show me. "—I make the statementsrelative to what happens below the guillotine line in Mother
Nature's exclusive territory of responsibility on the authority of
the laboratory experts; but only, mind you, when my personalobservations and business logic approve the conclusion. Therefore, when I tell you that starch turned into dextrose, or
" grape sugar," is assimilable as nourishment, and that starchwhich is not thus chemically transformed by saliva is not
capable of becoming nourishment, I am not " speaking by the
book," which Mother Nature has opened for me to read—unlessbiological-chemists can be considered to be extra-enlightened

it
can't
be
described. And
when
I
did
micro-enemas
with
evaporated
urine,
I
got
such
clumps
that
I
couldn't
believe
what
was
inside
me. During
the

cleansing,
I
got
chronic
inflammation
of
the
intestine,
which
I
always
have
in
the

felt
horrible
pains
in
my
stomach. Clay
compresses
with
urine,
which
I
changed
three
times
a
day,
helped
me. " Comment
and
recommendation:
This
woman
treated
her
pain
very
well
with
clay
compresses. The
first
cycle
of
enemas
is
over,
during
the
second
cycle
she
should
get
rid
of
herself
deep
water
pathology,
which
nothing
but
evaporated
urine
(and
fasting)
can
remove. The
second
cleaning
will
pass
without
any
problems. Conclusion:
Always
start
your
colon
cleansing
with
plain
fresh
urine
and
work
your
way
up
cycle
apply
vaporized. The
use
of
urine
in
gynecological,
proctological
(digestive)
and
similar
diseases
initially
causes
severe
cutting
pain. This
is
due
to
the
effect
of
the
acidic
environment
of
urine
on
the
festering
(alkaline)
surface
of
the
wound. After
several
procedures,
the
pain
subsides
and
the
wound
heals
quickly. Example:
Patient
36
years
old. Cervical
erosion. It
all
started
12
years
ago
after
a
difficult
birth. For
the
past
three
years,
the
disease
has
been
in
the
"blooming
rose"
stage. She
decided
to
do
the
morning
injection
of
her
own
fresh
and
warm
urine
on
the
affected
area
and
apply
tampons
with
her
own
standing
urine
at
night. During
the
first
injection,
the
patient
felt
only
a
slight
stinging. Three
hours
after
inserting
the
first
tampon
with
old
urine,
the
woman
felt
unbearable
pain. She
removed
the
tampon
and
wanted
to
leave
everything. The
author
tried
to
prove
to
her
that
the
pains
are
from
the
"blooming
rose". Until
the
urine
removes
the
scarring
of
the
mucous
membrane,
until
healthy
tissue
appears,
it
is
need
to
suffer. The
hospital
was
convinced
by
a
story
about
a
case
of
leg
gangrene,
when
a
certain
professor
he
made
the
patient
suffer
pain
until
the
urine
removed
the
diseased
tissue
and
healthy
skin
formed
and
the
legs
were
saved. The
patient
resumed
applying
tampons. The
pain
lasted
for
another
3-4
days. They
stopped
completely
in
a
week. The
patient
started
drinking
her
own
urine
on
the
third
attempt. She
threw
up
on
the
first
two. She
went
to
the
gynecologist
in
14
days. The
patient's
general
practitioner
was
not
present,
so
another
doctor
took
her
in. After
a
long
examination
of
about
half
a
year's
records
and
a
thorough
examination,
the
doctor
stated
in
amazement:
"This
is
strange,
you
have
so
much
in
the
card
and
everything
is
clean
here. " Recommendations
and
comments:
In
such
cases,
tampons
are
not
soaked
in
standing
urine,
but
in
children's
or
fresh
urine. Fresh
urine
has
an
anti-inflammatory
effect
and
reduces
pain. Only
then
can
you
use
tampons
with
evaporated
or
long-standing
urine,
which
perfectly
removes
and
tears
off
dead
tissue. Example:
“I
used
to
suffer
from
paraproctitis. They
even
operated
on
me. Now
there
is
a
relapse,
the
tumor
has
grown
like
a
fist,
I
can't
walk. I
started
doing
small
enemas
with
evaporated
urine
and
putting
tampons
on
the
perineal
area
more
often. After
the
first
enemas
in
the
paroproctitis
area,
it
burned
like
a
hot
iron. I
suffered
and
continued
to
insert
urine
tampons. I
used
to
have
smaller
hemorrhoids
that
I
couldn't
feel. Now
they
came
out
like
little
droplets. I
continued
the
treatment,
the
hemorrhoids
disappeared,
after
two
weeks
theparoproctitis
also
disappeared. I've
been
at
peace
for
three
years
now. '' Example:
Another
patient
was
convinced
of
what
pains
can
occur. After
applying
a
tampon
with
fresh
urine
to
the
internal
hemorrhoids
and
the
tumor
that
was
blocking
the
smooth
bowel
and
preventing
emptying,
a
burning
pain
began
that
shot
into
the
leg,
spine,
and
bladder. The
pain
lasted
for
two
weeks,
but
the
patient
regularly
continued
the
treatment,
even
though
he
shortened
the
time
of
applying
the
tampon
(wick)
from
2
hours
to
20
minutes. The
pain
made
him
so
weak
and
angry
that
he
didn't
even
want
to
see
anyone. That
was
a
tough
test. Towards
the
end,
he
felt
that
the
pain
in
the
walls
of
the
large
intestine
gradually
subsided,
going
inside
and
burning
the
metastases. Next,
the
patient
switched
to
tampons
with
evaporated
urine
and
he
no
longer
felt
any
pain,
everything
calmed
down. The
whole
procedure
took
1
month. But
he
will
never
forget
the
first
two
weeks. It
was
during
them
that
he
understood
what
a
cancer
patient
in
the
final
stage
of
the
disease
feels
-
crazy,
hopeless
pain. Such
a
sick
person
wants
only
one
thing:
for
it
to
end,
for
example
to
cut
off
half
of
his
body,
just
so
that
the
hellish
torment
ends
and
he
can
die
as
quickly
as
possible. Two
weeks
in
pain
completely
reborn
the
patient,
he
became
a
different
person. There
was
not
only
a
physical
but
also
a
moral
cleansing. Example:
"In
1988,
I
was
diagnosed
with
left
breast
cancer. I
didn't
do
anything
for
two
years
and
the
tumor
grew
to
the
size
of
a
goose
egg. No
pain. I
started
urinotherapy
in
October
1990. I
drank
morning
urine
on
an
empty
stomach
and
applied

, the great Plains Indians, were all but
destroyed: killed of f by smallpox, shot, raped, or enslaved. The few left often turned to alcohol. The silver -haired Mandan, the broad-shouldered Pawnee, the gentle Minatree—all gone. And
with them, so vanished their knowledge of the art and science of breathing. b r e a t h e  t h r o u g h  t h e  n o s e :  Decades after Catlin’ s treatise on all things mouth and nasal breathing, the
physician-in-char ge at Mount Regis Sanatorium in Salem, V ir ginia, a man named E. E. W atson,
announced at the annual meeting of the Medical Society of V ir ginia that mouthbreathing was
the primary culprit in the spread of tuberculosis. “T o say that seventy-five per cent of our
unquestioned tuberculous larynx cases have occurred in mouth-breathers would be no
exaggeration,” announced W atson. Respiratory disease didn’ t af flict populations randomly, and
they weren’ t genetic. What W atson was saying, essentially, was that some diseases were a
choice. And health or sickness was determined in lar ge part by whether his patients breathed
from the mouth or from the nose. E. E. W atson, “Mouth-Breathing,” V ir ginia Medical Monthly

sleep taping was dangerous because “if you started vomiting there would be a good chance you
would choke.” This claim, Burhenne and Kearney told me, is as ridiculous as it is unfounded

reported: “It is important to note that the risk of death was increased for participants with
moderately impaired lung function, not merely those in the lowest quintile. This suggests that
the increased risk isn’ t confined to a small fraction of the population with severely impaired
lung function.” Lois Baker, “Lung Function May Predict Long Life or Early Death,” University

Hopkins researchers compared several thousand patients who had had lung transplants and
found that those who received oversized lungs had a 30 percent increased chance of survival a
year after the operation. “For lung transplant, researchers surprised to learn bigger appears to
