 extremely
destructive and causes permanent damage to the body, often initiating additional
malignant tumors. E. C hemotherapy  use in malignant  tumors  Chemotherapy is often chosen as the
best and most effective treatment procedure in many types of malignant
tumors. This procedure, like surgery and radiation, does not treat cancer but is
often used to extend life a few weeks. This therapeutic procedure is most
destructive to many necessary functions of one's body. In addition, one must
also use my metabolic program. F. The medical communities as well as the general public have failed to
understand what cancer is and is not. Their ignorance is inexcusable, as this
truth has been available in the medical literature for 100 years. As used by the
medical communities, orthodox as well as alternative, cancer is the socially
acceptable form of genocide of our civilization. 22

The Science of Cancer
The Asexual part of life: The fertilized egg, properly called the Zygote, forms the
Trophoblast, which grows into a 'primitive' germ cell. This cell then divides by
doubling many times into many potential humans. These are the 'primary germ-cells'. The Sexual part of life: One of the primary germ cells forms the embryo. The
remaining primary germ cells start their journey throughout the Somatic Cell mass
(normal body cells) to collect in the testes or the ovaries, waiting to form the next
generation of the species. About 1/3 of these primary germ cells traveling within the embryonic body cells
toward the testes and ovaries, occupy all sorts of abnormal positions within ones
body. When the 3 billion primary germ cells that did not make it to the testes or
ovaries become trapped within normal body tissue, the tissues then become
stimulated, grow, and produce Trophoblast cells (cancer cells). This happens to every
one of us everyday. Cancer is NEVER a mutated normal body cell growing uncontrolled into a
malignant tumor. An excess of female sex hormones ALWAYS brings about this
change. Because men and women have male and female sex hormones, when this
delicate male-female sex hormone balance is upset, malignant tumors (cancer) may
start. In the human life cycle, the male sperm unites with the female egg. 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. These cells, now trapped outside of the uterus, grow rapidly while trying to form a
placenta (a malignant tumor mass). In this uncontrollable state, they now have the
ability to invade (metastasize) the walls of the uterus to form the Cancer Mass
(placenta). This Cancer Mass first opens a blood supply to the embryo for
nourishment and then firmly attaches (metastasizes) the placenta to the walls of the
uterus. This prevents the embryo from falling out (aborting) of the uterus. The direct cause of cancer, or, malignant tumor mass, is always the changing of a
primary Ectopic germ cell into an Ectopic Trophoblast cell. This process takes place
in all mammals, from the local skunk, to the orangutan in the White House. After the sperm in the fallopian tube of the mother fertilizes the egg the fertilized
23
Winning The Cancer War
egg gives rise to three basic kinds of cells:
1. Trophoblast cells which form primitive germ cells, which form:
2. Primary germ cells, one of which forms the embryo, which then forms F
3. Normal body cells, also known as Somatic cells. Many primary germ cells, which migrate to the testes or ovaries waiting to form the
next generation of cells, are trapped within the normal body cells, and occupy a
variety of abnormal positions within the new embryo's body.F
Upon stimulation by female hormones, these primary germ cells produce
Trophoblast cells, which can form a false placenta (a malignant tumor mass) in any
place of the embryo's body as it grows to a child or adult. These out of place "false
placentas" are in error and are called by the medical community "CANCER." The fact
is they are placentas or false placentas. By 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

“ennui,”	a	sense	of	isolation	in	the	universe	and	existential	despair. But	at	that

 of this, the person is
worthless, so they say, "I am just a worm, and God
couldn't possibly have any interest in me. IfHe exists
at all, He would just be a God who ignores me." What about the fearful person who holds the
energy field of Fear? We see that they are the creator
of that, the owner, and the source. The emotions of
worry, anxiety, panic, and the deflation of self-esteem
lead them to see this as a frightening world. As they
walk down the street, they see danger everywhere. They open the newspaper with alarm and read about
bankruptcy and murder. They walk down the street
and see automobile accidents and the potential for
starvation. The God ofa frightening field of conscious
. ness would be a very punitive one who really sort of
hates them and throws them into the world of an end
less nightmare. The creator of such a nightmare is a
very punitive God of revenge and retaliation and
becomes the punisher. As we move up into Desire at 125, the area of the
solar plexus, there are craving, wantingness, and what
makes Sammy run, and there is no satisfying it. No
matter what the person gets, it is not enough.The mil
lionaire has fifty million dollars and is going for sixty
million. He has sixty and is going for seventy. He never
gets to the end of the road for there is no end.When
he is old, his fmgernails are long, he lives on a yacht,
he is paranoid and thinks the world is against him,
and he does not understand why he cannot fmd hap
piness. But happiness is at level 500, not at 125. The person is trapped by wanting and craving WORRY, FEAR, AND ANXIETY 291
more and more and therefore sees the world as frus
trating. If one is always wanting, then the world is
always holding back from that person.As one looks at
the jewelry-store display cases, that cravingness
comes out-one wants, wants, wants those jewels. They want the wantingness. If they get the jewels,
they will feel a satisfaction but not happiness.There is
a temporary satisfaction, but what kind of God would
hold back from a person what they desire? Then the
person feels separated from God, if there is a God at
all.There is the person, and then there is God, but the
two of them have no relationship. The exasperation of this frustrating world of
desire leads to anger, resentment, hatred, grievance;
war, and murder. There is the overexpansion of the
angry person, which shows in the protrusion of the
blood vessels, and the angry animal within flares up
with anger. The angry person sees this as a competi
tive world. When somebody opens up another used
car lot next to him, he is angry and thinks the person
is going to take his business away. He has not moved
up to a world of cooperation which knows that the
more there are used-car lots nearby, the greater the
business because they draw people from everywhere. But he would not even think of cooperating; instead,
he thinks of competition and becomes polarized. It is
he against them. Therefore, he sees a competitive
world and a retaliatory God who, out of angriness, is
very punishing, retaliatory, and seeks revenge. "I am a
jealous, vengeful God who will get you. I'm out to get
you," so God is his enemy, out to get him. How can he
relax and reach any kind of awareness in that kind of 292 HEALING AND RECOVERY
angry energy field? From Anger, we move up to pridefulness. Pride at
level 175 carries with it the downside of denial, arro
gance, and contempt. The process in consciousness is
one of being inflated. This person lives in a world of
status. When he walks down the same city street, he
sees not only your Cadillac, but also the year and
model. I did not even realize they came in models. I
thought a Caddy was a Caddy. No sir, I have discovered
that there are different models of Cadillac- I forget
their names, but whatever they are, one has more
status than the other-so the interest of that person
in other human beings is in their position. "Oh, he's
president of so-and-so," or, "He's only a blue-collar
worker." It is not the money but the status that money
gives them. What kind of a God can that person see from the
level of pridefulness? There are probably two options. Because of denial and intellectual arrogance, one can
say that the left brain denies that there is a God, or,
one can say that their position is the right one, and
therefore everybody else is wrong; thus, they end up
with skepticism or bigotry.This is the source ofall the
religious wars. "My view of religion is right; therefore,
yours must be wrong." Pridefulness leads one into a
polarized position of"me right, you wrong. "The anxi
ety that accompanies this puts the person on the
defensive because he lives in a world of win-lose. As we move up to Courage at level 200, there is
appropriateness for the first time. The person is able
to face, cope, and handle, and they become empow
ered because they have begun to tell the truth about WORRY, FEAR, AND ANXIETY 293
themselves. The person from the level of Courage
walks down the same street and sees a challenging,
exciting world of opportunity. It is a thrilling world of
growing, learning, expanding, and watching others
grow. There is an inner joy that comes from expand
ing one's own space. Courage settled the United Sates
of America and the West. It created all the industrial
empires and scientific enterprises. It got us to the
moon. It is the world of growth and expansion. What kind of God is the God of that level of con
sciousness? The person on that level of consciousness
has an open mind for the fIrst time. He does not pride
fully presume that he has the answer. He is not
aligned with vengeful negativity. He says for the fIrst
time, "I wonder if there is such a being. I wonder if
there is something greater than the personal self. I am
open to learning about this." He then treats the God
question the same as he does the world question, as
an exciting opportunity for exploration, and discovers
that spiritual research is eXciting, and the things that
are discovered are intriguing and benefIcial. The next energy fIeld, Neutral at level 250, results
in being unattached. This person says it is okay if they
get the job and okay if they do not. They are unat
tached and not run by the world.Their power greatly
.increases because they are no longer a victim. The
world does not control them anymore. They say, "If
this person stays in my life, great; if they don't, I will
fInd somebody else to be with. "They no longer live in
fear, they have moved up to a certain okayness, and
. their view of the world is now okay. The God of an
okay world would be a God offreedom to expand and 294 HEALING AND RECOVERY
explore. "If there is a God, it's okay with me, and if
there isn't, that's okay with me. "There is an inner fair
ness about God. "If there is a God, He will be fair, and
I will learn about it when the time comes; if there
isn't, that is okay with me, too." At the level ofWillingness at calibration level 310,
the person now declares an intention and says "yes" to
life. "I join; I align myself; I agree with things." The
person begins to experience a willingness to be of
service, along with a certain happiness, and views the
world as friendly. When one is willing, the world is
friendly. Now the person walks down the street and
sees potentially friendly people. All one has to do is
walk up to an old lady and say, "Hi, what a beautiful
day." She says,"Hey, nobody has talked to me all morn
ing. Isn't this nice? "The world is a friendly place, and
God perhaps becomes a promising and hopeful con
cept. The God of a friendly world would become a
friendly God. Even if one does not believe in Him, one
begins to trust Him. If one does not have a belief in
God, at least the friendly person says,"Well, if there is
one, he will be at least as kindly as my grandmother. He is going to understand human nature and is not
going to throw me into the pit fires of hell for being
human. He created me as human; I'm his handiwork. What is He going to do? Condemn His own creation?" Therefore, there is a certain trust in a God. As we move up to Acceptance at calibration level
350, we have begun


 oatmeal cooked in distilled water and sweetened with a little
organic honey or pre-soaked unsulphured dried fruit. An 8-ounce glass of freshly squeezed orange

www.thegersonway.comBasic Recipes to Start You Off
For a full range of Gerson recipes, please see Chapter 28. The following instructions are only
meant to introduce the most fundamental items of the patient’s essential daily menu. BREAKFAST : For one person, put 5 ounces of rolled oats into 12 ounces of distilled water. Start cold, bring to a boil, let simmer for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile squeeze
orange juice, add prescribed medication(s) (see Chapter 14 ). Serve the oatmeal with pre-soaked
unsulphured dried fruit, e.g. apricots, apple rings, prunes, raisins and mango. Or use raw or
stewed apple or stewed plums, or fresh fruit in season, e.g. peaches, nectarines, grapes or pears. (No berries!) Up to two teaspoons a day of permitted sweeteners (raw honey, maple syrup, spray-
dried cane juices sold as Sucanat and Rapadura, or unsulphured molasses) may be used. LUNCH :  For the salad, cut up, slice and mix varied lettuces, such as red lettuce, Romaine,
escarole, salad bowl and endive. Add to the mixture chopped green onions, radishes, a little
celery, some tomatoes, cauliflower florets, slices of green pepper and watercress. Dressing:  mix
1 tablespoonful of flax seed oil (during the first month of the therapy; afterwards reduce to 2
teaspoonfuls) with apple cider or red wine vinegar, or lemon or lime juice; add garlic to taste. “Special Soup” or Hippocrates Soup
(to be eaten twice daily throughout the treatment.) To save time and effort, prepare enough for two days, i.e., 4 portions. It will keep in the
refrigerator overnight for the next day. These are the ingredients :
1 medium celery root if available. If not, 3-4 celery branches, i.e., pascal
1 medium parsley root (rarely available, may be omitted)
2 small or one large leek (if not available, use 2 small onions instead)
2 medium onions
garlic to taste—may also be squeezed raw into the hot soup instead of cooking it
a small amount of parsley
1 1⁄2 pounds of tomatoes (or more, if desired)
1 pound of potatoes. To prepare : wash and scrub vegetables and cut into slices or 1⁄2 inch cubes. Put in lar ge pot,
add water to just cover vegetables, bring to the boil, then cook slowly on a low heat for 1 1⁄2 to
2 hours, until all the vegetables are soft. Pass through food mill, to remove fi bers. Let soup cool
before storing in refrigerator. 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 108Healing the Gerson Way—Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases
www.thegersonway.comPLEASE NOTE : Many spices are high in aromatic acids, which are irritants and are likely to
counteract the healing reaction. This is why only the following mild spices are permitted, to be
used in very small doses:
Allspice, anise, bay leaves, coriander, dill, fennel, mace, marjoram, rosemary, sage, saffron,
tarragon, thyme, sorrel, summer savory. In addition, chives, onion, garlic and parsley may be
used in larger amounts. Two herb teas, chamomile and peppermint, are frequently used by Gerson patients. For details

All About Enemas
To the uninitiated the coffee enema is the most surprising and apparently bizarre element of
the Gerson Therapy. Critics like to attack and ridicule it, without bothering to find out its purpose
and function. Yet without this simple tool of detoxification the Gerson method wouldn’t work. Before going into details, let us make clear why this is so. The moment a patient is put on the full therapy, the combined effect of the food, the juices
and the medication causes the immune system to attack and kill tumor tissue, besides working
to flush out accumulated toxins from the body tissues. This great clearing out carries the risk of
overburdening and poisoning the liver, the all-important organ of detoxification, which in a cancer
patient is bound to be already damaged and debilitated. It was this recognition that prompted Dr.
Gerson some 70 years ago to incorporate the coffee enema in the program, for he realized that
without this additional means of detoxification the liver was in danger of becoming comatose,
which could severely damage or even kill the patient. How the coffee enema prevents this will be
explained fully in this chapter. Generally speaking, any kind of enema introduces a substance into the rectum in order to
empty the bowel, or to administer nutrients or drugs. It is a medical procedure of great antiquity:
Hippocrates, the Greek “father of modern medicine” prescribed water enemas for several
conditions some 2600 years ago. In India, enemas were recommended for inner cleansing by
Patanjali, author of the first written work on yoga, in around 200 B.C. According to tradition, the
ibis, a sacred bird of Ancient Egypt associated with wisdom, used to administer itself an enema
with its long curved beak. Closer to our own time, a lady in the court of King Louis XIV of France
is reported to have taken an enema under her voluminous skirts, and “Le Malade Imaginaire,”
i.e., The Hypochondriac, in Moliere’s play of the same title, enjoyed an enema on stage. It is
only in recent times, and mainly in English-speaking countries, that this simple and safe cleansing
method had fallen into disuse. The use of coffee  as enema material began in Germany towards the end of World War I. (1914-1918).The country was blockaded by the Allies, many essential goods—among them
morphine—were not available, yet trainloads of wounded soldiers kept arriving at field hospitals,
needing surgery. The surgeons had barely enough morphine to dull the pain of the operations, but
none to help patients endure the post-surgical pain; all they could do was to order water enemas
to be used. Although owing to the blockade coffee was in short supply, there was plenty of it around to
help the surgeons stay awake during their long spells of duty. The nurses, desperate to ease their Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.compatients’ pain, began to pour some of the leftover coffee into the enema buckets, figuring that since
it helped the surgeons (who drank it), the soldiers (who didn’t) would also benefit from it. And
indeed the soldiers reported pain relief. This accidental discovery came to the attention of two
medical researchers, Professors Meyer and Huebner, at the University of Goettingen in Germany,
who went on to test the effects of rectally infused caffeine on rats. They found that the caffeine,
travelling via the hemorrhoidal vein and the portal system to the liver, opened up the bile ducts,
allowing the liver to release accumulated toxins. This observation was confirmed seventy years
later, in 1990 by Dr. Peter Lechner, oncologist surgeon at the District Hospital of Graz, Austria,
after running a six-year controlled test on cancer patients following a slightly modified version of
the Gerson Therapy. In his report1 he quotes independent laboratory results, identifying the two
components of coffee that play the major role in detoxifying the liver. (see Chapter 8, pg.


 weaknesses. We then pass them on to our children, who then pass
them on to their children. And with each successive generation, the cellular
patterns and functions become more chronic, causing disease symptoms to
appear now in infants. Through this process of genetic transmission we have
created frightening consequences. Many allopathic doctors claim that cancer is an autoimmune disease. However, I find this conclusion to be misleading, and commonly used as a
catch-all for the unawareness of the actual cause of disease processes. Your
body’s immune cells are especially designed to attack and consume weak,
mutant, dying or parasitically involved cells. This is especially true of thenatural killer cells (NK),including the T-cells (thymus) and B-cells (bone
marrow). These natural killer cells are much larger than the smaller
macrophages, neutrophils, basophils, etc., that do
basic body cleanup. We
have an army inside of us that is always active. This process is extremely
necessary for internal survival. The weaker a cell or tissue becomes from
inflammation, toxicity, or even genetics (and the parasitic response to these),
the more immune response will be needed. The increased elevation of white
blood cells is in response to all of the above, and especially to foreign
pathogens. DETOX FOR CANCER PREVENTION AND CURE

It is vital to clean, strengthen, and thus regenerate your cells and tissues. Detoxification is the process one must go through to accomplish this. Detoxification naturally begins as you alkalize yourself through a raw food
diet. This process strengthens cells by removing the obstructions and acids
that cause inflammation and block nutrition to your cells. Detoxification
allows cells to gain nutritional energy and to properly eliminate their wastes
via cellular respiration. This then begins the rebuilding process within the
body. It has been proven that diets high in animal protein are cancer causing. Animal protein is acidic (inflammatory), putrefactive and congestive. The
congestive aspect is caused by the mucus, formed from its abrasive and
putrefactive aspects. The toxic chemicals, vaccinations, and hormones eaten
by or injected into these animals also create tissue toxicity within the body. This causes your immune system to respond, causing inflammation. Meat
also causes a biochemical imbalance within your body. The high levels of
iron and phosphorous push out your calcium, magnesium, and other vital
electrolytes, which then weaken and dehydrate your body. As you can see and imagine, one cannot treat cancer, which is created by
the above, with chemotherapy that acts on the body like Draino® acts on
your plumbing system, or burn it away with radiation (fire), either. Both of
these choices cause more cancer, or cause cancer to move (metastasize) to
areas where these therapies have destroyed or weakened the cells and tissues. Radiation destroys the oxygen-carrying and utilization factors of a cell. However, glucose can still enter through the cell membrane wall. This
eventually causes fermentation within a cell, and that cell will die from auto-intoxication. This creates a delayed response. At first these treatments seem to reduce the tumor or stop the cancer. But
then watch out – cancer can explode throughout the entire body. Of course
this will invoke additional immune responses, creating the appearance of
“autoimmune problems.”
The bottom line in all cancers is overacidity/inflammation and the build-
up of cellular toxicity. Both lead to enervation or the loss of cellular energy
and function, thus the loss of systemic energy and health. This results in the
over-working of the immune system. Most of the tissues responsible for the
production of immune cells in cancer patients, especially the thymus gland
(where T-cells are produced) and the bone marrow (where B-cell production
takes place), become hypoactive. A HEALTHY LYMPH SYSTEM IS ESSENTIAL

With all of this in mind, it becomes vital that you understand your lymphatic
system. I have discussed this “sewer system of the body” in some detail in
Chapter 2
. Your lymphatic system is where ninety percent of all disease
processes begin. When this highway system is congested and cannot
eliminate well, it backs up the whole “sewer system” of the body, causing a
lack of or improper elimination of cellular/metabolic wastes (acids), as well as
toxic chemicals and metals that have been ingested. These toxins must be
eliminated or cellular death will result. Your lymph system is a vital part of your immune system. To enhance
your immune system,
clean out your lymphatic system first. Remember, your
kidneys, colon and skin are the exit doors of your lymphatic system. If your
septic system is obstructed or full, you don’t remove it, you clean it out. Most
people have lost proper kidney filtration. Their intestinal bowel walls are
impacted, and many don’t sweat well. This means that their doors are partly
closed in allowing their sewage or wastes to be properly eliminated. This then
backs up the lymphatic system and enlarges the lymph nodes. When this goes
on for many years, you will see all types of lymphomas, non-estrogen types
of breast cancer, throat cancer (especially when the tonsils have been
removed), and neck, colon, kidney, liver and many other cancers. Family Support
Over the past thirty years I have witnessed thousands of cancer patients gothrough our program and other programs, in Mexico and other countries. A
big factor in recovery is the support of friends and family members. Some people act as if they are sleeping through life, totally conditioned and
controlled by society in their thinking and reacting. Some, thank goodness,
are a little more open and aware of God and the unconditioned or
uncontrolled levels of awareness. Many people are afraid of what they don’t
know or haven’t learned or experienced. I have seen many family members
ridicule their loved ones for using natural health as a means of getting well. I
have seen them constantly tempting their loved ones with food and snacks
that they know are bad for them. I have seen friends do exactly the same
thing. This type of ridicule or disregard comes from unawareness and a lack of
understanding of the importance of their loved one’s or friend’s need to get
well, and the consequences if they don’t. Many family members have actually
helped to kill their mates or children by stopping them from using natural
healing as one of the only true ways to get well. Be strong about your decisions regarding health. One of the most important
factors in getting well is your strength and self-discipline. Spend time by
yourself. Getto know who you are. Become strong within yourself. This is
your
 road to health, no one else’s. This will allow you to be strong with your
friends and loved ones. Teach them what you have learned, as everyone
needs to get well. Remember, most people ignore their health problems until it is too late. Don’t
be one of them. Get yourself well and healthy now, and be an inspiration to
others. This is why detoxification is essential in the elimination of cancer. By
alkalizing and cleansing your tissues and fluids, your cells will begin to
strengthen, and the sludge of toxins that snuff the life out of your cells will be
gone. This then brings a tremendous joy, energy, and vitality. Out of 100 clients who came to our clinic and followed a detoxification
regimen, 80 were able to eliminate their cancers. I know of no better way to
heal, clean and rebuild the body than through detoxification and regeneration
of its cells, through diet and herbs. If you take
responsibility for your health
and open your heart, it is unbelievable what you can accomplish. Don’t allow
anybody to tell you that there is nothing that can be done. We’ve had
individuals who were given only one day or even hours to live who pulledthemselves back. In the last thirty years I have seen some amazing results in
regeneration. Never compromise your immune system or let anyone destroy
it. And most importantly, do not have your lymph nodes removed. The
consequences can be devastating. Don’t treat, regenerate! MODULE 5.6
Neurological Disorders and Injuries

It saddens me to see so many quadriplegics and paraplegics in this world with
supposedly no help. Nothing could be further from the truth. My first tough
case was a thirty-four-year-old female who had a spinal injury at the C3-C4
level. At the time of the accident she had a complete spinal severation. This
accident occurred when she was twelve years old, and left her with only
movement of her head. She had immense spasms and was in extreme pain. It
took me eleven months, but this young lady went from severe degeneration
throughout her body (she could only move her wheelchair by a tongue-
operated control) to the ability to shake your hand and lift either leg as many
times as you wanted her to. She could “feel” from head to toe. Another case involved a man in his early twenties who had a C4-C5 level
injury. He had been paralyzed from his upper body down to his feet for two
years. Within six months on our program his nerve response was helping him
to move his feet and he could stool on his own. This was quite significant, as
quadriplegics and most paraplegics lose their ability to have a bowel
movement on their own. This

differencc between  them. Consequcntly "!" will
fcel more separate than  evcr, ancl so mcrcly
increasc thc lonely ancl cut -off feelings  which
rnakc  "me"  bchavc  so badly. Wc can hardly  bcgin  10 considcr  this problem
un-
lcss it is clear that thc craving for sccurity is itself
a pain and a contradiction, and that thc more we
pur- sue it, the more painful it becomes. This is
true in  whatcvcr  form  sccurity  may  be conccivcd. ON BEING  AWARE
You want to be happy, to forget yourself, and
yét the more you try to forget yourself, the more
you remembcr the self you wam to forget. You
want to escape from  pain, but thc more you
struggle to  escape, the more you inflame the
agony. You are  afraid and wam ro be brave, but
thc efTort to be brave is fcar trying to run away
from itself. You want  peace of mind, but the
auempt to pacify it is like trying to calm  the
waves  with  a flat-iron. We are all familiar with this kind of vicious
circle  in the form of worry. We know that
worrying is  futile, but we go on doing it bccause
calling it futilc  does not stop ir. \Ve worry
because we feel unsafc,  and want to be safe. Yet
it is perfectly useless to say  that we should not
want to be safe. Calling a desirc  bad names
doesn't get rid of it. What we have to dis - cover is
that therc is no safety, that seeking it is pain - ful,
and that when we imagine that  we havc found it,
we don't like it. In othcr words, if wc can really
un- derstand what we are looking for -that safery
is isola - tion,  and what  we do to ourselves  when
we look  for it
-we shall see that we do not want it at all. No
one has to tell you that you sho11ld not hold your
breath  for ten minutes. You know that you can't
do it, and  that  the attempt  is most
uncomfortable. Thc principal thing is to understand that therc
is no safcty or security. One of thc  worst vicious
circlcs  is the problem of the alcoholic. In very many
cases he  knows  quite  clearly  that  he is
destroying  himself,

that, for him, liquor is poison, that he actually

liquor. And yet he drinks. For, dislike itas he
may, the ex - pericncc of not drinking is worse. 1t givcs him thc  '"horrors," for he stands face to
facc with the un - vcilccl,  basic  insecurity  of the
world. Herein lies thc crux of the matter. To stand
face  to face with insecurity is still not to
understand it. To understand  il, )'O U must  not  face
it but be  it. It is likc the Pcrsian story of thc sagc
who carne to thc  door oíl lcavcn  and knocked. From withi11 thc voicc  o( God askcd, '"\\lho is
thcrc" and rhe sagc answcrcd,  "lt is  J." "In this l

many ycars pondcring over this answer in  deep
mcclitation. Rcturning a second time, the voicc
asked thc same question, and again the sage an -
swercd, "Jt is l." The door remained closed. After  some ycars he rcLUrncd for thc third time,
and, at his  knocking, the voicc once more
demanded, '"Who is there?" Ancl tlie sage cried,
"lt is thysel(!" The <loor  was  openccl. To undcrstand  that  thcre  is no security  is far

than 1.0 agrce with thc thcory that ali things

do not ac- tually  understand  that  thcre  is no

we, then,  approach  our expericnce -our  sensations,
feel- ings,  and thoughts -quite simply,  as if wc  had
never  known  them  before,  and,  without  prcjudice,
look  at what  is going on? You  may  ask, "Which
experiences,  which  sensations  and feelings,  shall
we look  at?" I will answer,  "Which  ones  can you
look  at?" The an- swer  is that  you must  look  at the
ones  you have  now. That  is surely  rather  obvious. Bue  very  obvious  things  are often  overlookcd. If a
feeling  is not pres - cnt, you are not awarc  of it. There  is no expcrience  but present  expcrience. What  you know,  what  you are actually  aware  of,
is just what  is happening  at this

are remembering. In other words, you are not
look - ing at the actual past at ali. You are looking
at a present  trace  of the past. lt is likc seeing the tracks of a bird on the
sand. I see the prcsent tracks. I do not, at thc sarne
time, see  the bird making those tracks an hour
befare. The  bird  has flown,  and I am not aware  of

past events. But you  are not aware of any past
events. You know the past  only  in thc prcscm
ancl  as parto(  thc present. Wc are seeing, then, that our expericnce is

than the present moment. lt is al - ways dying,

 purity, and the human race began its
long stumble into pain and misery. In an engraving by Dürer, it is
the snake, phallic symbol of lust, which eats the apple. The human need for very large amounts of daily fruit is borne
out by the relative enormous amounts of vitamin C needed for
optimal health and general well-being. The primates are exceptional
in their needs for this vitamin,  for almost all other animals,
including pure vegetarians like the rabbit make their own
requirements of it. Although the human being, like the other
primates, can make do with smalle r amounts of vitamin C in their
foods, they are less fit for it, more prone to infections, listless and
unhappy. The common cold is common because commonly people
do not eat enough fruits. The official recommendations, in all other
respects probably excessive, appear to have underestimated the
needs of vitamin C, judging from the ever increasing list of diseases in which an inadequacy of this vitamin is involved. The reason for
this underestimating is simple. No t believing man to be basically
fruitarian, they have ignored the hi nts that have come up over the
past years for much larger needs of vitamin C, for such amounts
could only be met by living largely on fruits. The primates are lured to fruits by their colour, by their
pleasant smell and feel, and particularly, by their sweet taste. Many
animals have something of a sweet tooth, but nowhere as marked as
that of human beings. In a natural world, to eat sweet things is to eat
vitamin C. The child's craving for sweets is in reality a craving for
fruits, which shows up the iniquity of confectionery, the biggest
nutritional deception ever devised and responsible for much pain
and misery. Besides sweetness, the acidity of fruits is also an
enticement to eating them. Not only do such acids clean the mouth
without dissolving the enamel of the teeth, squeezing the salivary
glands and providing the right milieu in the digestive tract, but there
is evidence that in their metabolism, they have a tonic effect on the
body as a whole. This insistence on fruits on the part of nature must have some
special significance to humanization. The cortex of the brain alone
has some six thousand million cells, each cell intertwined in a
profusion of interconnections. This inconceivably complicated
structure can only function if a perf ect co-ordination prevails. A few
molecules of some undesirable substance sends the whole
mechanism out of gear. Anything l ess than a perfect co-ordination is
insanity. It stands to reason that in  evolving such a fantastic organ,
natural selection would have picked on a way of life, including a
way of feeding especially, which could have best ensured this
cerebral equilibrium. The brain's need of vitamin C is higher than any other tissues. The brain functions on sugar, which fruits ideally supply. But it is
the fact that a preponderantly fruita rian diet necessarily means a low
protein diet which is probably the fruits' particular advantage in
brain evolution, for even in those animals long adapted to a high
protein diet, the carnivores, the tissue wear-and-tear, and the
cumulative damage by the products of protein metabolism, are not
completely overcome. The carnivores are short-lived, and quick-
growing, the opposite conditions for evolving a large, long-learning
brain. Sharing the mechanistic bias of biology, nutritionists have
popularized the subject of protein by stressing the simplicity
whereby the body picks its own requirements of amino acids from
the welter of proteins eaten, implying that it does not matter what
the source of protein happens to be as long as all the amino acids are
provided in abundance; that eating other animals is the best way of
meeting this seems evident to su ch a mentality. But in the last
decade, the barely believable complexity of protein chemistry has
become apparent. There are a host of nitrogenous substances
accompanying proteins which tag on to amino acid digestion and
reassembly, thereby becoming a part  of the body's chemistry. Only
very minute amounts of such substances are involved, but their
effects can be out of all proportion to their amounts. They can in
fact act as drugs and hormones, and impinge upon those all-
controlling submicroscopi c wonders, the genes. Because of the far greater complexity of the proteins in animals
than in plants, such accessory n itrogenous substances are much
more abundant in animal foods than in plant foods. In fact, they
barely occur at all in fruits, while  present to some extent in a few
foods of vegetable origin, such as yeast and chocolate. It has
recently been discovered that vitamin C helps in the metabolism and
removal of these substances from the tissues, so that the importance
of vitamin C in brain function is understood. The pieces begin to fit in a most interesting way, for not only
would fruits offer a minimum of potentially disturbing products of
protein metabolism, but they would ensure that the brain is
protected from the minor amounts that must arise on the most
perfect diet. Since vitamin C cannot be stored in the tissues, nothing
less than a daily abundance of fruits  will meet the needs of a brain-
evolving creature such as man. In  fact, nature made no attempt to
store the vitamin, as it made none to manufacture the vitamin in the
human body, in order to make quite  sure that human beings would
gorge on fruits daily. Combined with the already mentioned
advantage of providing a concentrated source of energy, with a
minimum bulk, this makes fruits the essential condition of
humanization. Had the earth not evolved flowers and fruits in that
breath-taking splendour of the Cret aceous, humanization could not
have taken place some one hundred  and fifty million years later. Because science has done nothing to encourage one to sense the
unity of nature, such a feat of prevision seems incredible. But if
nature is a whole, then it must fo llow that earlier stages prepare for
the later ones, as in a living organism. One can conclude, with hope
revived, that these many thousands of millions of years of evolution
from Stardust to mammals, had a de finite developmental end in
view—us. No doubt the cosmologists are right in assuming that life
evolves into being in endless planets. But one can be reasonably
assured that unless such planets bring forth flowers and fruits,
among many other requirements,  humanization would not be
possible, and so a mind, able to sense the beauty and harmony of
Creation, would be ruled out. 6. The Life-Giving Seeds

So important have fruits been to body and mind, that the quality and
quantity of other nutritio nal essentials in an optional human diet are
likely to be determined by the manner in which they fit into this
fruitarian scheme. This has been hi nted to be the case with protein. It is a well-known principle that deficiencies in one part of a
plant are made up in another. In the case of fruits, the deficiencies
of the soft, sugar-soaked part are compensated for in the seeds. While the pulp of fruits contains  very little protein, the seeds
contain between 8 and 22 per cent. The nut is of course a fruit seed,
the almond being the seed of a beautiful member of the apple
family. Seeds and nuts also compensate for mineral and vitamin
deficiencies of fruits. For instance, the pulp and the juice have very
little of the B vitamins, and calcium, while seeds and nuts are rich in
these essentials. In the fruit as a whol e therefore, nature has offered
a well balanced food. Another example of such complementation is that between
seeds and nuts, on the one hand, and leaves and shoots on the other. While many seeds and nuts have not much lysine, and methionine,
amino acids indispensable for th e manufacture of protein in the
body, green glowing leaves are full of them. Thus cereals by
themselves, or with fruits, may be inadequate, but with green shoots
they provide all the amino acids required, an example which insists
that requirements be considered as a whole, as one should all things. Separate analyses are useful and interesting, but one should always
sense their part in a thoroughly integrated scheme of nature; nothing
properly exists in isolation. Most fruits have diminutive seeds, and nuts are not
overabundant. The primates are communal animals, and a more
plentiful supplement was indispen sable. While some primates, like
the gorilla, specialized in leaves, the human line took to the grasses,
which produce seeds in abundance. Together with tender shoots,
their ideal complement, the grasses, ancestors of the cereals, were
most probably the inducement to living on the ground. As grasses
are not to be found in the tropical forests, the home of the other
higher primates, one must suppose that the human line, like the
chimpanzee, had become ground- living under quite different
conditions. In the Miocene, some sixty million years ago, the Himalayas
had barely begun their stupendous rise from the bed of a gigantic
ocean once stretching from the Atlan tic to the Pacific. The rising
land must have produced many lakes—the Black Sea, the Caspian
and the Mediterranean are such survivors—and gently sloping,
well-watered valleys in which flowers prospered. Conditions
possibly not very different

be surprised when they end up not feeling their best, with a naggi ng sense that “something” is wrong. This opens the door wide for
the salesman to then sell supplements to “correct” the dietary and n utritional insufficiencies their own advice occasioned. I’m always dumbfounded when I hear about the money people spend on nut ritional supplements. It seems there is no high-end
limit to the amount of product recommended by supplement salesmen. In convey or-belt fashion, they roll out a bewildering array of
“newly discovered” miracle “foods,” while at the same time replacin g older products with newly reformulated versions. Such antics
essentially amount to an open admission that yesterday’s silver bullet, which they touted so highly, really didn’t work as well as their
sales pitch had promised. Most of what comes from the world of nutrition these days is no more than sli ck marketing disguised as education, in the form
of infomercials and edutisements. The marketer informs the audience  that some nutrient is good for a particular condition and then
follows up with a strong push to convince the audience to buy lots of it. Of course, the marketers neglect to mention that too much of that nutri ent is harmful in a variety of ways, not the least of which is the inevitable imbalances that result when we consume suppleme nts of any kind. Most supplements are concentrated from plant
foods, and despite our American “more is better” mindset, the body does not  appreciate these unnatural concentrates and has to
work to expel them similarly to the way it has to eliminate toxic residu e from cooked foods. Like an amateur barber who finds himself trimming each side of the  hair to make things “even” until his client is bald, a person
who supplements with single nutrients (or any formulation or combinat ion of extracted nutrients) inevitably creates greater and more
confounding imbalances, whether or not the cause and effect are discer nible in the short term. It is always better to correct the diet
than to supplement it. On a healthy diet, supplements are not needed. On a le ss-than-healthy diet, supplements do not make up for
the nutrition that is lacking. Is the raw food concept flawed. Every creature on this planet has a specific diet for which it is desi gned. All animals get their nourishment exclusively from the
foods present in their natural environment—one food at a time, when th ey are hungry, until they are full. Simplicity at meals ensures
optimum digestion and nutrition. Animals do not use or demonstrate any nee d for supplements or condiments. Nature provides
adequately for all life forms, and humans are not an exception. Like all other primates, we were made to function perfectly on the amount  of nutrients found in fruits and vegetables, in the
quantities that we would eat those foods whole. Juicing, dehydrating, concentrating, and refining those foods introduce s excesses
and nutritional imbalances that our bodies were not designed to deal with. I maintain that the optimal raw food diet consists of whole, fresh, ripe, raw, organic plants—in the 80/10/10  caloronutrient
ratio—period. The raw food kitchen need not include jars, bottles, boxes, c ans, bags, capsules, powders, remedies, potions, pills,
or tinctures of any kind. So many eager new raw fooders find themselves in the unfortunate sit uation where some nutritional “guru” guides them to “the
world’s most nutritious diet” and then convinces them that the diet is  inadequate and requires supplementation. The ultimate
promotion strategy, this ploy is as old as marketing itself: First you cre ate a problem, then you sell the solution. How many mom-
and-pop grocery stores were vandalized by the very men who were the re to sell them “security”. How many people became
patients for life by following the advice of their medical doctors. The problem, in the case of raw foods, is that people do not feel great when they e at insufficient carbohydrates or when they
continually under consume total calories. They experience voraciou s hunger, and they binge, falling off the “raw food wagon”
repeatedly. They develop uncomfortable and unhealthy relationships wit h food. Their health deteriorates as their diet becomes
erratic. I choose to acquire my learning on any topic from organizations and individu als whose clear and explicit intention is to educate
me. I steer away from information sources that include an obvious and m otivated “back-of-the-room” sales table filled with
consumables and repeat products that will, if they have it their w ay, have me coming back for more … for years to come. If the only way to be truly well nourished is to consume vitamins, miner als, oils, enzymes, medicinal herbs, white powdered
pharmaceuticals such as MSM, refined isolates such as lecithin, “super” foods such as algae and sea vegetables, and other
purportedly “nutrition-enhancing” substances, then the raw food c oncept is flawed. Appendix C. Personal Success Stories with 80/10/10

Mark Squire, St. Petersburg, Florida
Back a few years ago, a struggling raw food friend of mine referred me to th e work of a guy named Doug Graham. I had
never heard of him before, so I began to educate myself a bit on the me ssage he brought to the table. My first reaction. “This guy is
a damned fool. ” However, I had become so frustrated with my current raw f ood program (which was about 50% fat) that I was
willing to give anything a shot. I started eating larger and larger portions of fruit, but still neglec ted other important aspects of healthy living. Now my initial
stance was solidified: “This guy IS a fool and his suggestions are ins ane. ” Y et, for some reason, I continued on. Why, I do not
know. Slowly but surely, Doug’s teachings made more and more sense. The more  consistently I applied Doug’s program (with a little
dash of Squire mixed in) I began to notice miraculous things happening. Not  only was my health improving dramatically, but I was
also getting stronger and faster, and my endurance was skyrocketing. I h ad been lifting weights on a raw food diet for three years
prior to 811 and had nothing to show for it. Roughly one full year later, being 100% dedi cated to keeping my fruit intake high, I was
nearly 30 lbs. heavier, all of which was muscle. Over the next year, I adde d an additional 10 lbs. of muscle, bringing my total up to
40 lbs. The added muscle isn’t the main benefit of being on a raw food diet. The best part of the whole journey has been my childlike
energy levels, my blissful state of joy, and my ability to tune into natu re, all of which were amplified measurably. When I was about
to give up on raw foods once and for all, Doug steered me back on the right track. The program isn’t easy, but with enough inner strength and per sistence, you will undoubtedly experience a radical
transformation in every aspect of your life. As much trash as I tal ked about Doug in my learning process, it’s because this 811
program was changing me down to the core. My belief system was threaten ed, and I fired off about him, as a defense mechanism. It
was quite a struggle getting to the point I’m at now, but now I see as  clear as day that Doug is an amazing person, and I have
nothing but the utmost respect for him and what he does. My stamp of approval is  all over this book, and all over Dr. D. himself. Thanks a million, brother. Cyrus Khambatta, San Francisco, California
I’ll never forget the first time I exercised with Dr. Graham. I was  half his age, in the prime of my athletic life, fueled by a
combination of years of soccer training and an ever-growing dose of athl etic hubris. I thought to myself, “I’ll show this guy what it
really means to work out. ” It took only fifteen minutes to realize that I h ad completely underestimated Dr.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>

150MYTHS ABOUT MEDICAL DRY
Starvation
The first myth. Without water a person can live 2-3 days. After 30-40 hours after
last sip begins a wild dehydration, and all life
processes are inhibited, by 50-60 hours the body starts
wither away. Dying without water a person suffering from hallucinations,
loses consciousness and goes crazy with terrible headaches. Here is one
the most common horror stories about dry fasting,
I've found on the Internet. Let's see what happens when the so-called dry
or absolute starvation, when we stop not only to eat,
and drink. Water makes up about 70% of body mass, comes
with a drink and food composition, but other than that about 400 ml per day
formed in the oxidation of mainly
fat. In the dry fasting the number of metabolic
water increases significantly and for some time satisfies
needs of the body. He has also identified water
stocks. in only one skin is deposited up to 2 liters of water. There are deposits
water in some of the cavities of the body (serous cavities), some
internal organs. The human body is able to comfort
conditions (in the mountains, near waterfalls, near the river) to sustain
12-day fasting. from a physiological point of view of the body
in complete starvation does not feel substantial
deficit of the liquid, because for every kilogram of a split
fat mass (or glycogen) is released per day up to 1 liter
endogenous (metabolic) water. Loss of body fluids
(On the skin-lung perspiratsiyu and diuresis) during normal
the temperature is low, ranging from 1.5 to 2 liters per day. Thus, the water deficit does not exceed 0,5-1 liters daily, which
the decline in basic metabolism is quite
physiologically acceptable. Cells of adipose tissue, adipocytes,
rich in fat and are living energy. during growth,
with "well-fed life of their number increases. during fasting
they become an internal power source, the adipocytes
not only provide the body with energy and water they supply
almost all the components necessary for life. One kilogram
adipose tissue is sufficient for 2-3 days of dry fasting. Why
Dry fasting need to be spent only on nature? Because our
body during dry fasting works on suction, and moisture
and the energy it needs to be taken only with environmentally friendly
energy areas. Scientific studies have shown that
from the comfort of a person can not drink for 10 -
12 days, and in extreme conditions even more. For example, is described
the case when the 13th day after the earthquake (Mexico, 1985)
151
151under the rubble found a boy who survived, despite the fact
all that time spent without food and water. Yes, reserves life at all
living is extremely high. A case with a dog that has fallen
a blockage in an earthquake, she lived without food for one hundred and three days
until it was released. All deaths from dehydration,
described in the literature, mainly related to panic people or
very extreme conditions. The second myth. Many believe - since we're not doing special cleaning

become of our exo - and endotoxins. During the life of any living organism is constantly
exposed to adverse factors - both external

152paradoxical as it may seem, but dry fasting transferred
significantly easier than the wet, and at the same time give
much greater effect. On subjective assessments of experienced
golodalschikov, the effect of dry fasting is approximately three times
the effect of the wet the same duration. Dry fasting deprives
body cells of any kind of external power supply, because the water
exactly the same nourishes the cells, as well as food. And because the processes of nutrition
and purification are carried out alternately, then dry starvation
and lack of water inflow from outside the cell are engaged only in
self-cleaning, without spending time and energy for anything else. In the dry
starvation, the body also burns far more active inside slag
and toxins - in fact you did not "extinguish" his inner "fire"
water. in humans during the passage of the SG up inside
temperature, there is a fever. This causes acceleration of the flow

More specifically, the rise in temperature accelerates the flow

As you read over this extraordinary list of nutritional elements, you can
begin to understand why the stories you may have heard of people surviving
on their own urine are true. But what about other elements in urine that you've heard about? Clearing Up the Misconceptions
If you asked a person on the street what uric acid is, he or she would
invariably answer that it's a toxic body waste. No so, say medical researchers
at the University of California at Berkeley who in 1982 reported they had
discovered that "uric acid destroys body-damaging, cancer-causing free
radicals and is considered to be one of the physiological factors that enable
human beings to live so much longer than other mammals." But what about urea? Urea is in urine and isn't that the toxic stuff that
causes uremic poisoning? Actually, medical researchers discovered many
decades ago that urea, far from being a toxic body waste, is an incredibly
versatile, far-reaching and effective medicinal agent. In numerous medical studies, it was shown that urea is one of the most potent
non-toxic virucidal agents ever discovered. In one particular study, the rabies
and polio virus [sic] were killed so quickly and efficiently by concentrated
urea, that even the laconic researchers themselves were surprised:
"Urea is such a relatively inactive substance and certainly not a protoplasmic
poison such as are most virucidal agents, that it is in a way surprising that
rabies and poliomyelitis are killed so easily by urea solutions" (McKay &
Schroeder, Society of Experimental Biology, 1936). In reality, Urea is an FDA-approved medicinal agent that doctors and
researchers utilize in an amazing variety of therapeutic modalities. Because
of its remarkable and comprehensive anti-neoplastic (anti-tumor) properties,
it's presently being used in anti-cancer drugs and is extensively studied for
use in cancer treatments. 46 The urea compound drug, glicazide, is used successfully by the medical
establishment in treating both insulin-dependent and non-insulin-dependent
diabetics. As a natural diuretic, urea is unparalleled, and is a proven and accepted
treatment in cases of edema or swelling such as excess cerebral and spinal
pressure, glaucoma, epilepsy, meningitis, even premenstrual edema and
many other disorders in which excess fluid is a problem. As one American neurosurgeon reported regarding a patient who nearly died
form complications following brain surgery:
"Urea was administered intravenously as an emergency measure. Within 20
minutes from the start of injection, her blood pressure had returned to
normal.... from this time on her recovery was uneventful. In this case, urea
was definitely life-saving, because prior to its administration, the patient's
survival was unlikely. In many similar instances urea was found to be life-
saving" (Dr. M. Javid, University of Wisconsin). The Physiological Answer to a Therapeutic Mystery
The medical findings on urine and urine constituents are overwhelming, and
yet it's difficult for most people to understand why our bodies excrete
elements that are so obviously valuable to human health and well-being. The commonly-asked question,
"If your urine is so good for you, why does your body excrete it?" is best
answered by looking into how our kidneys function. As your blood moves
through the circulatory system, it flows through the kidneys at a rate of
about 1200 ml of blood per minute. Inside the kidneys, the blood is
continuously filtered through a huge system of minute tubules called
nephron which sift out excess water, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, salts, and
hundreds of other elements including vital antibodies, urea and uric acid. A large portion of these key physiological elements are reabsorbed into the
bloodstream, but a certain amount of critical blood constituents are pooled
by the kidney into a liquid which doctors refer to as a "plasma ultrafiltrate"
(we call it urine). Much of this sterile, nutrient filled ultrafiltrate, or urine, is
reabsorbed and some remains in the kidney for a period of time and is
eventually released into a tube called the urethra which empties the urine
into the bladder where it is finally excreted. Now you're probably wondering
why the body excretes valuable nutrients, water, hormones, enzymes, etc. that are critical to body functioning. Doesn't it make more sense to retain
these elements? If urine is a collection of such life-sustaining elements,
why does the body get rid of it? The answer is that the kidneys excrete a portion of urine as a way of
removing certain key elements in your blood that are simply not needed at a
specific point in time. For instance, you've just been out jogging. You come home and have one or two big glasses ofwater to drink. 47 Now at this point you've probably taken in more water than your body
actually needs. But not to worry --your kidneys will balance the amount of
water delivered into your bloodstream by your copious water drinking and
through the urine will excrete whatever amount of water from the blood that
isn't needed at the time. Now water is certainly a life-sustaining element the body cannot do without. So why is it excreted from the body? The answer is obvious. There's too much water in your system and it needs to be excreted. It's a physiological fact that in order for us to function normally, the amounts
or concentrations of every element in our blood must be carefully and strictly
controlled and this is done by the kidneys. Too much water in the blood is
fatal. Too much salt in the blood is deadly. As wonderful a nutrient as
vitamin C is, too high a concentration of it or any nutrient could kill you. This is why the kidneys excrete valuable elements from the body -
too much of any good thing isn't good for your health. The same is true of urea. People who have heard of uremic poisoning are
surprised when they read the medical research showing urea to be a
widely-used, FDA-approved medicine. But just like any other element in the
blood, urea only becomes dangerous to the body when the kidneys are
damaged or diseased and can't properly balance the amount of urea
(and all other substances) in the bloodstream. Your kidneys aren't doing damage to your body by getting rid of particular
excess nutrients, they're just simply excreting the precise amount not
presently needed by your body at a given time. And the same goes for practically every nutrient, enzyme, hormone,
antibody, etc. that are critical to your survival-- the kidneys keep what your
body needs at a certain time, and excretes what it isn't momentarily using
into your urine. And as medical scientists and doctors have discovered,
these urinary ingredients extracted from the blood can be therapeutic magic
bullets. A Billion Dollar Industry
Despite what the public has been led to believe about urine, pharmaceutical
companies have grossed billions of dollars from the sale of drugs made from
urine constituents. Pergonal, a fertility drug made from human urine,
earned a reported $855 million in sales in 1992, and sales ($1400 a month per
patient) have increased yearly. Urokinase, a urine ingredient, is used in drug
form and sold as a "miracle blood clot dissolver" for unblocking coronary
arteries. Urea, medically proven to be one of the best moisturizers in the
world has been a boon to cosmetic companies who package it in expensive,
glamorized creams and lotions. Ever used Murine ear drops? They're made
from carbamide --another name for synthetic urea. 48 When you look at the real facts, the tragedy of the general disinformation
campaign on urine is surpassed only by the irony of our unwitting, and often
incredibly expensive purchases of what we all mistakenly but firmly believe
