 is found in the use of the uncooked foods.

THE PROBLEM OF PROBLEMS.

EVERY  century since civilization began has left upon the
pages of history some great thing, something worthy of a
place in literature and memory. Empires and dynasties have
arisen and fallen like bubbles on the water; bloody typhoons
called wars have swept over the earth and exterminated races
and changed the geography of the map of the world. The
mind of man was employed for thousands of years in trying
to ascertain where he came from, for what purpose he was
here, and where he was going. Stimulated and excited by
invention and travel, only a few hundred years ago the
faculties of gain and accumulation began their development.
These have evolved on and on, un til they have reached such
ugly and vulgar eminence that it is no longer respectable to be
extremely rich.
It is only of recent years that the intelligence of  mankind
has been directed towards finding out the really useful things
in life. If we mistake not, this decade will stand out in history
as one of the most important since the world began. Its
greatest achievement will be that it has put into motion a tidal
wave, a current of thought that will, do more for the human
race than all the mighty ages and musty centuries that have
gone into the eternity of the past.
So long as men looked into the heavens and said, "The
Lord will provide" they never took much interest in
performing that very important task themselves. So long as
they depended upon ignorant kings and rulers for guidance,
the brain was a useless lump of  clay; but in this decade the
people are thinking.
The question mark is the sign of the times. The universal
password is "Why?"
Why is disease so common, and perfect health so rare?
Why are the great majority of people afflicted?
Why has the word "ease" b een changed to "disease"?
Why do we find so many specimens of perfect health and
development in all other forms of life, and so few among
mankind— the king?
All forms of animal life on this globe live about eight
times their periods of maturity, except man. He matures at
about 24. Measured therefore by all other forms of life, he
should live nearly 200 years. But he drops into his grave at an
average age of 40—while he is yet in his youth.
There is some good reason for this. We believe the
answer must be found in a consideration of the material from
which his body is constructed.
Of what is he made? With what kind of material does he
keep himself fed and repaired? He must be what his food has
made him.
Disease is merely the outward expression or penalty for
violated laws.
Health is nature's reward for conformity to her laws. If man's present condition is imperfect and unnatural, to
what must it be attributed?
The question will soon be solved. It cannot long remain
unanswered. It is too great, t oo important, too stupendous, too
serious for the great throbbing heart of the world to go on and
give it no thought. The best talent in America, that throne and
home of genius whose light and literature have encircled the
world, is beginning to turn toward this question. Men are
really beginning to think something about the material out of
which they construct themselves.
It is indeed amazing to think that all these years have
come and gone, and that such a vast amount of human
thought has been bestowed upon the arts and all the sciences
except one, viz. what kind of material will bring mankind to
the highest state of mental, moral and physical development.
THE FUNCTION OF FOODS.

THE true function of food is to supply material for growth,
and for new tissue, to replace that worn out by effort. Things
which do not serve these two purposes cannot be consistently
classed as foods. On the contrary, they are exactly the
opposite; for when they are taken into the body, they must be
excreted at the expense of energy. These facts should be
observed in the preparation of all materials used as food.
What we call life is but the ever-changing expression of
organic matter. Just how it is created, how from the
protoplasm or the tiniest molecule there comes the well-
organized being—what strange change takes place when two
atoms called germs are blended, to create a living thing, what
' gives it form, color and inte lligence—all these things are as
deeply buried in the realm of the unknown as they were a
million years ago.
All we know is that all life must comply with certain
natural laws in order to be free—for a man in the throes of
disease is not free. He is a vassal, a slave. He is in bondage.
He has himself fastened fetters on his flesh by his own
foolishness—by disobeying nature's laws.
Obedience to these laws will keep life in the line of
evolution to higher and high er degrees of perfection till it
reaches that zenith to which nature is ever striving to bring all
she creates.
But if these laws are violated the process of evolution is
interfered with, and the penalty is expressed by disease and
death.
In the support and maintenance of life the first and most
important thing is the substance upon which it feeds. Animals
in their native state seem to put the proper appreciation upon
foods. They instinctively reject that which is harmful—that
which would interfere with na ture's process of evolution—
and accept as food that which is good for them. Man does not
act with such wisdom. Civilization has created for him
artificial environments in the chaos of which his instincts
have been lost.
The most important thing that can possibly engage the
thoughts of mankind is how to build the human body, how to
bring to their highest development all its faculties. This must
depend upon something, must be made of something. That
something is food.
It looks incredible indeed that the wisest, wealthiest and
most philanthropic men the world has ever produced would
spend great fortunes and many of the best years of their lives
in erecting and perfecting such things as astronomical
observatories, in creating instruments and delicate scales
upon which the worlds are weighed and distances measured
to the remotest planets, knowing full well that when all this
magnificent array of knowledge was gained that it would be
of no possible benefit to mankind except the mere satisfaction
of knowing that it was known. It seems incredible that they would do all this, yet give absolutely no thought or attention
to the selection of the material out of which the body and
brain are made, upon which, therefore, men must depend for
their health, their contentment and happiness; yes, even their
ability to think out these intricate problems.
Man seems to have appropriated for food everything he
could lay his hands on. His ch ief study and delight seems to
have been the mixing and stirring together of all sorts of
things, the combinations of which go on to infinity. No
chemist in the world would dare risk his reputation upon an
attempt to analyze an ordinary Thanksgiving dinner.
The only true function of food is the growth and support
of life. The needs of the human body are very limited. All the
nutritive elements it requires can be found in their purest form
in less than half a dozen different articles, which in a natural
and healthy being should be selected by the demands of the
system expressed by hunger. There is therefore no reason for
feeding upon the innumerable variety and endless and
senseless mix-ups that are served upon the average table.
By long persistence in incorrect and unnatural habits of
eating and drinking the body will seemingly adjust itself to
false conditions. The argument is nearly always brought forth
that "my foods taste good," "they seem to agree with me," "I
am never sick," etc., etc.
This appears convincing, but it is not even entitled to
serious consideration, unless the other (natural) method has
been also tried. Unnatural live rs have no standard to measure
from except their own. They know not what the result would
have been had they lived naturally and correctly.
Mr. Gilman Low, of New York, who is in many respects,
perhaps, the most perfect specimen of manhood in the world,
thought the same thing, and argued the same way for many
years. But he tried the new method of living. He decided to
subsist entirely upon foods in their elementary condition, and
to limit his bill of fare to a very few articles. As a result he
lifted, in the presence of a party of friends, a few weeks ago,
one million pounds in thirty-four minutes, lifting 1,000
pounds at a time. He possesses a kind of strength and
endurance that is the marvel of the athletic world to-day.
He has the new standard to measure from. It takes
experience to constitute an authority. It takes experience to
convert theory into knowledge. Of all those who will oppose
these methods, not one probably will speak from experience.
Not one will possess an opinion that would be taken in a
court of justice on any case involving a dollar bill.
Prof. Low is not a professional strong man. He is better
known professionally


Dance	of	Shiva’	is	the	shift	of	appearance	from	creation	to
destruction.	In	reality,	neither	is	occurring;	likewise,	whether	a	turkeydinner	is	good	or	bad	or	creative	or	destructive	depends	on	whether	you
are	the	turkey	or	the	diner.
Recontextualization
Q:	What	of	practical	considerations,	such	as	financial	pressures?	How
does	recontextualization	help?
A:	The	perception	of	‘financial	pressures’	is	due	to	expanding	one’s	life	at	too
rapid	a	pace.	This	creates	the	illusion	of	a	monetary	shortage.	The	answer
is	not	a	financial	one	but	merely	one	of	patience.	Are	there	too	many	sheep
in	a	pasture,	or	is	there	a	grass	shortage?	Wanting	things	impatiently
results	in	moving	ahead	too	fast	for	comfort.	Learn	to	differentiate	wants
from	needs.	Learn	to	value	having	credit	rather	than	cash.	Fortunes	both
large	and	small	can	be	wiped	out	overnight	but	credit	lasts	a	lifetime.	The
cost	of	living	on	credit	is	interest;	living	on	cash	costs	principle.	Cash	is
convenience;	credit	is	security.
Q:	What	about	so-called	‘problems’?
A:	Partial	and	limited	positionalities	create	the	illusions	called	‘problems’.	In
reality,	no	such	thing	as	a	problem	is	possible;	there	is	merely	what	we
want	and	what	we	do	not	want.	Suffering	is	due	to	resistance.	This	applies
to	physical	pain	as	well.	For	instance,	by	intensely	focusing	on	the	pain
and	being	persistent	and	not	resisting	it,	pain	actually	disappears.	Pain	and
suffering	are	two	distinctly	different	things.	The	mind	assumes	that	they
are	inseparable,	which	they	are	not.	It	is	possible	to	experience	pain	but
not	suffer	from	it.	Suffering	is	due	to	resisting	the	pain.	If	one	is	willing	to
surrender	to	it,	accept	it,	and	completely	stop	resisting	it	continuously,	the
suffering,	and	even	frequently	the	pain	itself,	will	cease.
					By	using	this	technique,	it	was	possible	for	this	writer	to	go	through
major	surgery	on	two	different	occasions	without	anesthesia.	Also,	healing
then	takes	place	more	rapidly.	It	is	possible,	for	instance,	to	walk	on	a
severely	twisted	ankle	within	minutes,	and	the	relief	is	very	similar	to	the
effect	of	a	narcotic	that	relieves	the	suffering.	The	pain	itself	may	remain
but	one	is	indifferent	to	it.
Q:	What	about	anger?
A:	As	one	progresses	spiritually,	anger	becomes	less	frequent,	but	when	it
does	occur,	it	is	increasingly	unwelcome.	Most	frequently,	it	is	usually
impatience.	Therefore,	it	is	resolvable	by	realizing	that	one	is	not	really
angry	but	just	in	a	hurry.	To	know	that	in	itself	relieves	guilt.	Anger	stemsfrom	a	positionality,	and	taking	a	different	viewpoint	resolves	it.
					It	is	helpful	to	realize	that	the	anger	is	not	at	what	‘is’,	but	at	what	‘is
not’.	We	are	angry	not	because	someone	is	selfish	or	stingy,	as	we	think,
but	actually	because	they	are	not	considerate,	generous,	or	loving.	If
recontextualization	is	done	in	this	way,	then	people	are	seen	as	being
limited	rather	than	being	bad	or	wrong.	Each	person	has	developed	only
up	to	a	specific	point	in	their	evolution,	and	therefore,	it	is	easier	to	see
and	accept	limitation	rather	than	fault.
					Another	prevalent	cause	of	anger	is	desire,	or	not	getting	what	one
wants.	This	is	the	anger	of	infancy	that	persists	in	the	adult	as	the	so-called
self-centered,	narcissistic	core	of	the	ego	called	selfishness.	The	ego
confuses	wants	and	needs	and	is	impatient.	It	is	constantly	demanding	and
wanting.	At	this	focal	point,	surrendering	craving,	wanting,	and	desiring	to
God	brings	about	great	and	rapid	spiritual	progress.
					The	surrender	of	this	core	of	the	ego	triggers	rapid	spiritual
advancement.	This	is	the	very	focal	point	and	source	of	the	ego,	which	is
focused	on	survival.	Its	desires	and	wants	are	deemed	to	be	essential
because	of	the	ego’s	beliefs	about	survival.	The	ego	therefore	has	to	‘get’
or	‘keep’	and	acquire	because	it	views	itself	as	separate	and	therefore
dependent	on	external	sources	of	supply.	These	may	take	the	form	of
energy,	attention,	possessions,	status,	security,	protection,	image,	money,
gain,	advantage,	and	power.	Its	primary	view	is	lack,	and	with	lack	come
fear,	need,	greed,	and	even	homicidal	rage	and	threats.	Fear	is	its	motor.
					From	the	viewpoint	of	consciousness	and	enlightenment,	the	reign	of
fear	does	not	cease	until	the	desire	for	existence	itself	is	surrendered	to
God.	In	the	silence	that	ensues	comes	a	great	realization	that	one’s
existence	has	always	been	due	to	the	presence	of	the	Self	that	has	attracted
from	the	Universe	whatever	is	necessary	for	survival.	Karmic	destination
for	survival	then	ensures	that	survival	is	provided	by	virtue	of	the	power	of
the	Self	to	martial	the	necessities,	such	as	physicality,	breath,	strength,
hunger,	curiosity,	and	intelligence.
					The	ego	is	the	imaginary	doer	behind	thought	and	action.	Its	presence	is
firmly	believed	to	be	necessary	and	essential	for	survival.	The	reason	is
that	the	ego’s	primary	quality	is	perception,	and	as	such,	it	is	limited	by	the
paradigm	of	supposed	causality.	In	this	limited	paradigm	of	duality,	the	‘I’,
or	ego,	sees	itself	as	cause,	and	actions	and	events	as	effects.	In	Reality,
actions	and	survival	are	taking	place	automatically	and	are	actually
autonomous.	They	are	activated	by	the	life	energy	emanating	from	the
Self,	and	the	qualities	of	the	universe	supply	the	forms.	Notice,	for
instance,	that	in	clinical	states	of	amnesia,	human	life	continues	even	whenthe	source	of	imagined	identity	is	lost.	Notice	then	that	all	fear	is	fear	of
loss	of	identity—existence/	survival.
					This	is	connected	to	identifying	the	self	and	the	source	of	existence	in
life	as	form	(thoughts,	feelings,	body).	The	resolution	of	fear	is	therefore
the	willingness	to	surrender	one’s	existence	in	all	its	expressions	to	God.
With	that	total	surrender	arises	the	awareness	that	the	Self	is	formless,	and
that	it	is	not	form	but	the	formless	within	form	that	is	the	Source	and	the
experiencer	of	life.	It	then	becomes	obvious	that	death,	as	commonly
believed,	is	not	even	a	possibility.
					There	is	no	opposite	or	alternative	to	God.	It	is	the	spirit	within	the
body	that	says	‘I	Am’.	The	body	of	itself	does	not	even	know	that	it	exists.
Q:	What	of	simplicity?
A:	All	spiritual	truth	is	contained	in	every	spiritual	concept.	It	is	only
necessary	to	completely	and	totally	understand
one	single	concept
	to
understand	all	of	them	in	order	to	arrive	at	the	realization	of

THE HEART EXERC ISES
The following exercises heal and prevent diseases and problems of the
heart, to keep the heart strong and healthy. We need to pay particular
attention to the heart, because it is an organ that works constantly from its
140 The Internal Exercises
appearance in the womb to the moment its owner dies; there is no rest for
the heart.
Beside these exercises, Taoism also provides methods for helping a
heart-attack victim. In case of a real heart attack, rub and pinch the fifth, or
smallest, finger. The endings of the heart meridian can be found there. If
the heart really stops, use the fingers to pinch a point above the middle of
the upper lip. Place the forefinger between the upper lip and teeth and the
thumb outside the upper lip, and pinch the flesh with these fingers. Pinch

very hard. Doing so has revived even those who have died from heart
attacks. Several nurses have told me that they actually brought several dead
patients-they were pronounced dead by the doctors-back to life by
using this technique. The whole hospital buzzed with excitement
everyone thought it was a miracle. Unfortunately, the doctors did not
believe it.
Heart Energizing Exercise
This exercise strengthens the heart tissue and surrounding blood vessels.
1. Sit or stand in a comfortable position with your hands extended out
in front of your chest at the level of the shoulders. The finger tips of
each hand should almost come to gether, but keep a little distance
between them.
2. Keep your eyes focused on the tips of the fingers, or close them
gently.
3. Nex t, see if you can feel a current of energy flow between your
fingers, from one hand to the other.
4. Hold your arms out in front of you for as long as you comfortably
can, and keep your concent ration on the energy flow.
S. Let your arms relax for a few minut es, then repea t for a total of 3
times.
141 The Internal Exercises
Figure 67. Heart Energizing Exercise.
This exercise creates a flow of energy which comes in through the
fingers of the right hand, comes across the chest and into the heart, then
passes out through the left arm, hand, and fingers. As the energy passes
through the heart, it strengthens the heart tissue and surrounding blood
vessels. If at first you are unable to perceive this energy flow, develop your
patience and keep practicing the exercise. You will quickly begin to
perceive a tingling sensation in the fingertips. With practice, you will be
able to feel the entire circle of energy as it passes through your arms, body,
and heart. Then you will know that you are building a stronger heart.
Strengthening the Nerves Leading to the Heart
Please refer the first pose of the Twelve Nerve Exercises.
Heart Healing Exercise
This exercise clears the brain and heart of disease-causing agents by
142 The Internal Exercises
helping the practitioner relax and reduce the stress on the heart. It can also
remove diseases and problems of the heart.
The heart exercise may be practiced morning, noon and night, depend
ing upon the seriousness of the problem. If you have a weak heart, practice
it once a day. If there are palpitations of the heart or angina, practi ce it at
least twice a day. If you have had a heart attack, then this exercise needs to
be performed at least three times a day. The exercise may also be practiced
as preventative medicine to keep a strong heart healthy.
I. Lie down on on a firm surface so that only the left side of your
body is touching the surface. This exercise may only be practiced
lying on the left side.
2. Extend your left arm so that it lies straight along the left side of
your body with your hand down toward your left knee. Your left ann
will press finnly into your chest and heart region as your body lies on
top of it. Your left leg should be straight, and the right knee should be
bent slightly. Your right arm will lie gently down on the floor in front
of your body with your hand a little bit above your head. Allow your
head and face to relax on the floor. Your left ann should exert quite a
bit of pressure on your heart so that during the exercise the heart
remains constrict ed. This prevents the heart from overrea cting.
3. Close your eyes and slowly exhale all the air from your lungs. As
the air leaves your body, feel the disease, weaknes s, and pain leave
your heart.

4. As you slowly inhale, feel the fresh, clean energy enter your heart,
and feel the heart become strong and revitalized.

inhalation and exhalation should be very slow and done only through
the nose.
NOTE B: For this exercise to be effective, you must concentr ate with
all the power of your mind. If you find that your mind has wandered
during the exercise, begin again.
ABDOMINAL STR ENGTHENING EXERC ISE
This exercise strengthens the intestines, colon, and internal organs in the
abdomen. It tightens the muscles of the abdomen, and corrects such
problems as constip ation and diarrhea. It also adjusts the posture and

WEIGHT REDUC TION EXERC ISE
As you may already know, being excessively overwei ght can be danger
ous to your health. This does not mean that it is wrong to be overweig ht, but
merely that it goes against the natural laws of healing.
Blood which is normally sent to the head and brain remains in the
abdominal cavity to aid the digestive organs with their increased work load.
The heart must work harder (and because of this excess strain, becomes
critically weakened and more likely to collapse) due to the increase of fatty
tissues and, usually, because of the weakened circulation in the arteries and
veins. As a result of fats and lipids in the blood, high blood pressure results.
Excessive weight also brings on physical as well as mental fatigue and
sluggishness by overwo rking the system. There is usually accompany ing
lower back pain because of the increased load on the spine. It is said that
when your abdomen is larger than your chest, you can buy a box to prepare
for your funeral.
The Weight Reduction Exercise helps bring down the weight to a
managea ble level and helps adjust the back to keep it healthy and strong.
When practicing this exercise, remember never to force or push yourself
beyond your limits. Acquire patience and steadiness in your practice.

Frequently	Asked	Questions

The	following	are	some	of	the	most	frequently	asked	questions,	with	corresponding
answers,	regarding	gallstones,	the	liver	and	gallbladder	cleanse,	and	colon	health.

Q.	Could	it	be	that	it	is	natural	or	even	advantageous	to	have	a	certain	amount	of
gallstones	in	the	liver?

A.
	Certainly	not.	Bile	ducts	transport	bile	from	the	liver	cells	toward	the	intestinal	tract,
similar	to	water	pipes	delivering	water	to	a	home	or	field.	To	block	the	bile	ducts	with
gallstones	cuts	off	oxygen	and	the	supply	of	nutrients	to	the	liver	cells.	This	goes	against
the	very	design	of	the	body.	Therefore,	there	is	no	advantage	to	having	the	bile	ducts
clogged	up.	Bile	also	carries	toxins	out	of	the	liver;	congested	bile	ducts	obstruct	this	vital
function,	damaging	the	liver	and	leading	to	overall	toxicity	in	the	body.	The	only
“purpose”	of	gallstones	in	the	liver	is	to	trap	and	neutralize	poisons	that	otherwise	could
enter	and	damage	the	intestines.	However,	as	I	have	repeatedly	shown	in	earlier	chapters,
this	impedes	the	liver’s	function,	leading	to	detrimental	effects	throughout	the	body.

Q.	I	passed	stones	several	days	after	the	colonic	following	my	last	liver	cleanse	and
felt	very	tired	until	they	were	all	gone.	How	can	I	ensure	that	the	stones	that	come
out	of	the	liver	also	leave	my	body?

A.
	Most	people	eliminate	any	remaining	stones	during	the	post-liver-cleanse	colonic.	If
you	continue	to	feel	dullness	in	the	head,	tiredness,	or	other	symptoms	of	toxicity	in	the
body,	use	one	of	the	intestinal	cleansers	such	as	colosan,	aloe	vera	juice,	castor	oil,	and	the
like.	Discontinue	their	use	once	the	discomfort	subsides.	In	some	cases	of	intestinal
strictures	or	other	major	congestion,	a	second	colonic	may	be	necessary.	These	difficulties,
albeit	rare,	usually	occur	due	to	a	“spastic	colon,”	a	chronic	condition	in	a	segment	of	the
large	intestine	that	inhibits	bowel	movements.

Q.	I	am	pregnant.	Is	it	okay	for	me	to	do	the	liver	cleanse?
A.
	Although	the	liver	cleanse	has	no	known	side	effects	on	mother	and	baby,	to	be	on
the	safe	side,	it	is	better	to	postpone	the	cleanse	until	at	least	six	weeks	after	delivery.	For
future	pregnancies,	however,	I	recommend	that	before	you	conceive,	you	eliminate	all
gallstones	through	a	series	of	liver	cleanses.	This	will	ensure	optimal	health	for	both
yourself	and	your	baby	during	and	after	the	pregnancy.	Having	said	this,	I	know	of	several
pregnant	women	who	have	done	successful	liver	cleanses	without	a	problem.

Q.	I	cannot	tolerate	apple	juice.	Is	there	an	alternative?

A.
	The	malic	acid	in	apple	juice	seems	to	have	the	best	properties	for	preparing	the	liver
and	gallbladder	to	expel	gallstones	easily	and	effectively.	Try	to	drink	the	apple	juice	very
slowly	and/or	water	it	down.	If	you	still	cannot	tolerate	apple	juice,	you	may	substitute
1,500	to	2,000	mg	of	malic	acid	powder	dissolved	in	two	glasses	of	water.	Cranberry
juice,	the	herb	gold	coin	grass,	and	apple	cider	vinegar	are	other	good	alternatives.	(See
details	in	Chapter	4.)

Q.	Would	it	be	better	to	do	the	liver	cleanses	in	intervals	of	two	to	three	weeks	or
spread	them	over	a	longer	period	of	time,	say	one	every	two	or	three	months?

A.
	This	is	up	to	you	to	decide.	I	recommend	that,	once	you	have	started	liver	cleansing,
you	continue	cleansing	at	regular	intervals	until	all	gallstones	are	removed.	Sometimes,
not	cleansing	for	two	months	or	more	can	make	the	next	cleanse	more	difficult	and	less
successful.	After	a	liver	cleanse,	it	takes	about	two	weeks	before	enough	gallstones	have
moved	from	the	rear	of	the	liver	toward	the	two	hepatic	ducts	(exiting	the	liver)	to	make
another	purge	worthwhile.	You	may	want	to	do	the	cleanse	about	every	three	weeks	until
no	more	stones	come	out,	or	else	take	a	little	more	time	between	each	cleanse.	If	you
decide	to	do	a	liver	cleanse	every	two	weeks,	start	drinking	the	apple	juice	two	weeks	after
the	last	main	purge.	Most	people	prefer	to	cleanse	about	once	per	month.	In	any	case,	it	is
important	that	you	get	rid	of
all
	the	stones,	big	and	small.	Just	a	few	small	ones	clustered
together	in	one	of	the	larger	bile	ducts	can	produce	major	symptoms	of	discomfort	in	the
body,	such	as	indigestion,	bloating,	headaches,	backaches,	and	so	on.

Q.	Should	I	avoid	doing	liver	cleanses	while	I	am	menstruating?

A.
	Although	the	liver	cleanse	may	still	be	somewhat	effective	when	done	during
menstruation,	it	is	more	convenient	and	comfortable	for	women	to	cleanse	their	liverbefore	or	after	the	monthly	cycle.	Besides,	menstrual	bleeding	is	another	form	of	cleansing
the	body,	and	it	is	best	for	the	body	not	to	cleanse	on	two	fronts	at	the	same	time.

Q.	Is	it	really	necessary	to	have	a	colonic	irrigation	before	and	after	each	liver
cleanse?

A.
	For	optimum	results,	the	liver	cleanse	should	always	be	preceded	and	followed	by
some	form	of	colonic	cleansing.	(See	also	“
Keep	Your	Colon	Clean
”	in	Chapter	5.)	The
quickest	and	most	reliable	method	of	freeing	the	colon	of	spastic	or	congested	areas	is
colonic	irrigation.	Once	the	colonic	therapist	tells	you	that	your	colon	is	clean,	you	can
skip	the	colonic	prior	to	liver	cleansing	and	replace	it	with	one	of	the	other	methods	of
colon	cleansing.	However,	continue	having	colonics	after	each	liver	cleanse,	ideally	within
three	days.	The	postcolonic	eliminates	any	gallstones	that	may	have	been	trapped	in	the
colon.	Experience	shows	that	there	are	always	some	stones	left	behind,	which	could
become	a	source	of	toxicity,	irritation,	or	inflammation.	I	strongly	recommend	that	you	do
not	do	liver	cleanses	without	having	a	colonic	or	colema	afterward.

Q.	I	have	had	three	l


 that ha s its origin in the loss of awareness of
who you are be yond name and form. Because of its undif fe rentiated
nature, it is hard to find a name that precisely describes this emotion.“Fear” c omes cl ose, but apart f rom a continuous sense of threa t, it also
includes a deep sense of aband onment and incompleteness. It may be
best to use a term that is as undif ferentiated as that basic emo tion and
simply c all it “pain.” One of the main tasks of the mind is to fight or
remove that emotional pain, wh ich is one of the reasons for its incessant
activity, but all it can ever achieve is to cover it up temporarily. In fact,
the harder the m ind struggles to get rid of the pain, the greater the pain.
The mind can never find the solution, nor can it af ford to allo w you to
find the solution, because it is itself an intrinsic part of the “problem.”
Imagine a chief of police trying  to find an arsonist when the arsonist is
the c hief of police. Y ou will not be free of that pain until you  cease to
derive y our sens e of self from identification with the mind, wh ich is to
say from ego. The mind is then toppled from its place of power and
Being reveals itself as your true nature.
Y es, I know what you are going to ask.

I was going to ask: What about positive emotions such as love and joy?

They are inseparable from your natural state of inner connectedness with
Being. G limpses of love and jo y or brief moments of deep peace are
possible whenever a gap occurs in the stream of thought. For most
people, such gaps happen rarely  and only accidentally, in mome nts when
the mind is rend ered “speechless,” sometimes triggered by grea t beauty,
extreme physica l exertion, or even great danger. Suddenly, there is inner
stillness. And within that stillne ss there is a subtle but intense j oy, there
is love, there is peace.
Usually, such moments are shor t-lived, as the mind quickly res umes its
noise-making ac tivity that we call thinking. Love, joy, and peac e cannot
flourish until you have freed y ourself from mind dominance. But they
are n ot w hat I would call emotions. They lie beyond the emoti ons, on a
much d eeper level. So you need to become fully conscious  of your
emotions and be able to feel  them before you can feel that which lies
beyond them. Emotion literally means “disturbance.” The word comes
from the Latin emover e, meaning “to disturb.”Love, joy, and p eace are deep s tates of Being, or rather three aspects of
the state of inn er connectedness with Being. As such, they have no
opposite. This is because they ar ise from beyond the mind. Emo tions, on
the other hand, b eing part of the  dualistic mind, are subject to the law of
opposites. This simply means th at you cannot have good withou t bad. So
in the unenlightened, mind-identified condition, what is so metimes
wrongly called joy is the usually short-lived pleasure side of the
continuously alt ernating pain/pleasure cycle. Pleasure is always derived
from something outside you, whereas joy arises from within. The very
thing th at gives  you pleasure to day will give you pain tomorr ow, or it
will leav e you, so its absence will give you pain. And what is often
referred to as lo ve may be pleas urable and exciting for a while, but it is
an addic tive clin ging, an extremely needy condition that can turn into its
opposite at the flick of a switch. Many “love” relationships, after the
initial euphoria has passed, act ually oscillate between “love” and hate,
attraction and attack.
Real love doesn’ t make you suf fer. How could it? It doesn’ t suddenly
turn into  hate, nor does real joy turn into pain. As I said, even be fore you
are enlig htened — before you have freed yourself from your mind —
you may  get glimpses of true joy, true love, or of a deep inner pe ace, still
but vibr antly alive. These are aspects of your true nature, which is
usually obscured by the mind. Even within a “normal” addictive
relationship, there can be moments when the presence of something
more ge nuine, so mething incorr uptible, can be felt. But they will only be
glimpses, soon to be covered up again through mind interference. It may
then see m that you had somethin g very precious and lost it, or your mind
may convince you that it was all an illusion anyway. The truth is that it
wasn’ t a n illusion, and you cann ot lose it. It is part of your natural state,
which c an be obscured but can never be destroyed by the mi nd. Even
when the sky is  heavily overcast, the sun hasn’ t disappeared.  It’ s still
there on the other side of the clouds.

The Buddha says that pain or su ffering arises thr ough desir e or craving
and that to be fr ee of pain we need to cut the bonds of desir e.
 All crav ings are the mind seek ing salvation or fulfillment in external
things and in the future as a substitute for the joy of Being. As long as I
am m y mind, I am those cravings, those needs, wants, attachm ents, and
aversions, and apart from them there is no “I” except as a mere
possibility, an unfulfilled potential, a seed that has not yet spr outed. In
that state, even my desire to become free or enlightened is just another
craving for fulfillment or completion in the future. So don’ t  seek to
become free of desire or “achieve” enlightenment. Become present. Be
there as the observer of the min d. Instead of quoting the Buddh a, be  the
Buddha, be  “the awakened one,” which is what the word buddha  means.
Humans have been in the grip o f pain for eons, ever since they fell from
the state of grace, entered the realm of time and mind, and lost awareness
of Being. At that point, they started to perceive themselves as
meaningless fra gments in an al ien universe, unconnected to the Source
and to each other.
Pain is inevitabl e as long as you are identified with your mind, which is
to sa y as  long as you are uncon scious, spiritually speaking. I am talking
here pri marily of emotional pain, which is also the main cause of
physical pain and physical disease. Resentment, hatred, self-pity, guilt,
anger, depressio n, jealousy, and so on, even the slightest irritation, are all
forms of pain. And every plea sure or emotional high contains within
itself the seed of pain: its inseparable opposite, which will ma nifest in
time.
Anybody who has ever taken drugs to get “high” will know that the high
eventually turns  into a low, that the pleasure turns into some form of
pain. Ma ny peop le also know fr om their own experience how easily and
quickly an intimate relationship can turn from a source of pleasure to a
source o f pain. Seen from a high er perspective, both the negative and the
positive polariti es are faces o f the same coin, are both part of the
underlying pain that is inseparable from the mind-identified egoic state
of consciousness.
There ar e two levels to your pa in: the pain that you create now, and the
pain from the pa st that still live s on in your mind and body. Ceasing to
create pa in in the present and dissolving past pain — this is wh at I want
to talk about now.CHAPTER TWO

CREA TE NO MORE P AIN IN THE PRESENT
Nobody’ s life is entir ely fr ee of pain and sorr ow. Isn’ t it a question of
learning to live with them rather than trying to avoid them?

The greater part of human pain is unnecessary. It is self-created as long
as the unobserved mind runs your life.
The pain that y ou create now is always some form of nonac ceptance,
some form of un conscious resis tance to what is. On  the level of thought,
the resis tance is  some form of judgment. On the emotional le vel, it is
some fo rm of negativity. The intensity of the pain depends on th e degree
of resist ance to the present moment, and this in turn depends on how
strongly you are identified with  your mind. The mind always seeks to
deny the Now a nd to escape fr om it. In other words, the more you are
identified with your mind, the m ore you suf fer. Or you may put it like
this: the more y ou are able to honor and accept the Now, the m ore


 blood proteins of the body, albumin and four globulins, are
measured in an electric field by separating them into patterns according to
size, shape, and electric charge at pH 8.6. Comprising more than 50 percent
of total serum protein, albumin prevents leakage of capillary plasma by
oncotic pressure (the pressure exerted by plasma proteins on the capillary
wall), and it transports the many water -insoluble substanc es such as
bilirubin, fatty acids, hormones, and drugs. Of the four globulins, alpha1,
alpha2, beta, and gamma, the first three act as carrier proteins for
transporting lipids, hormones, and metals through the blood, and the fourth,
gamma globulin, acts in and upon the immune system.
As indicated by its label, the serum protein electrophoresis labor atory test
uses electric current to measure the total serum protein and albumin-
globulin ratio to convert them into absolute values. These values help to
uncover the presence of liver disease, blood dyscrasias, kidney disorders,
gastrointestinal illnesses, neoplastic (benign and malignant) diseases, and/or
protein deficien cy. Here are the normal blood serum ranges for these
proteins:Total serum pr otein 6.6 to 7.9
g/dL
Albumin fraction 3.3 to 4.5
g/dL
Alpha1 globulin fraction0.1 to 0.4
g/dL
Alpha2 globulin0.5 to 1.0
g/dL
Beta globulin 0.7 to 1.2
g/dL
Gamma globulin 0.5 to 1.6
g/dL

The balance between total albumin and total globulin (known in
medicine as the A-G ratio) is evaluated in relation to the total protein level.
A reversed A-G ratio (decrease d albumin and elevated globulins) and low
total protein shows chronic liver disease; reversed A-G ratio with normal
total protein shows myeloproliferative disease (leukemia and Hodgkin’ s
disease) or certain chronic infectious diseases (tuberculosis and chronic
hepatitis).
THE BLOOD  UREA NITROGEN  (BUN) L ABORA TORY TEST
Measurement of the blood’ s nitrogen fraction of urea, the chief product
of protein metabolism, is accom plished by the blood urea nitro gen (BUN)
laboratory test. Formed in the liver from ammonia and excreted by the
kidneys, urea constitutes 40 to 50 percent of the blood’ s nonprotein
nitrogen. The BUN level reflects protein intake and kidney excretory
capacity, but it’s a less reliable indicator of uremia (urine in the blood) than
the serum creatinine level (see the test description which immediately
follows).With normal values ranging from 8 to 20 mg/dL, the BUN test helps to
evaluate kidney  function, aids in the diagnosis of kidney illness, and
assesses the body’ s hydration. An elevated BUN happens in reduced renal
blood flow from  dehydration, renal disease, urinary tract obstruction, and
increased protein catabolism as in burns. Depressed BUN levels occur in
severe liver damage, malnutrition, and overhydration.
Note: Due to initial decreased dietary protein intake, a person following
the Gerson Therapy will likely show a slightly r educed level of BUN.
THE SERUM  CREA TININE  LABORA TORY TEST
Providing a more sensitive measure of kidney damage than the BUN, the
serum creatinine laboratory test is a quantitative analysis of the non-protein
end product of metabolism, creatinine. Kidney impairment is virtually the
only cause of creatinine elevation in the blood; therefore, creatinine levels
are directly related to the glomerular filtration rate. They assess renal
glomerular function and screen for kidney damage.
Creatinine concentration in males normally ranges from 0.8 to 1.2
mg/dL; in females it ranges from 0.6 to 0.9 mg/dL. Elevation of serum
creatinine means that serious renal disease is present with 50 percent
damaged nephrons as in gigantism and acromegaly. Interfering factors are
too much absorption of ascorbic acid, barbiturates, diuretics, and sulfobro-
mophthalein. Also, athletes may have above-average creatinine levels, even
with normal kidney function.
THE SERUM  URIC ACID LABORA TORY TEST
Used mainly to detect gout, the serum uric acid laboratory test measures
levels of uric acid, a metabolite of purine in the blood. Glomeru lar filtration
and tubular secretion gets rid of uric acid, but it’s less soluble at a pH of 7.4
or lower  which occurs in certai n diseases such as gout, excessive cellular
generation and destruction as in leukemia, and kidney dysfunction.
Uric acid conce ntrations in men range from 4.3 to 8 mg/dL; in women
they range from 2.3 to 6 mg/dL. Although elevated levels of serum uric acid
don’t correlate with severity of disease, they do rise in congestive heart
failure, glycogen storage disease, acute infectious diseases such asinfectious mononucleosis, hemolytic anemia, sickle cell anemia, hemo-
globinopathies, polycythemia, leukemia, lymphoma, metastatic malignancy,
and psoriasis. Depressed uric acid levels indicate defective acute hepatic
atrophy or tubular absorption as in Wilson’ s disease and Fan-coni’ s
syndrome.
Drug factors interfering in the serum uric acid laboratory test include
loop diuretics, ethambutol, vincristine, pyrazinamide, thiazide s, and low
doses of salicylates which elevate blood levels. Also, starvation, a high-
purine diet, stress, and alcohol  abuse raise uric acid. When uric acid is
measured by the colorimetric method, false elevations come from
acetaminophen, ascorbic acid, levodopa, and phenacetin. Decreased uric
acid is caused by high doses of aspirin, Coumadin, clofibrate, cinchophen,
adrenocorticotropic hormone, and phenothiazines.
THE GLUCOSE,  FASTING  BLOOD  SUGAR  (FBS) L ABORA TORY TEST
Following a 12- to 14-hour fast, the glucose, fasting blood sugar (FBS)
laboratory test measures glucose metabolism as required in diabetes
mellitus. In the fasting state, blood glucose levels decrease, stimulating
release of the hormone glucagon. Glucagon then raises plasma  glucose by
accelerating glycogenolysis, stimulating glyconeogenesis, and inhibiting
glycogen synthesis. Normally, secretion of insulin checks this rise in
glucose levels. In diabetes, absence or deficiency of insulin allows
persistently high glucose levels.
Normal ranges for fasting blood glucose on the FBS laboratory test after
an eight- to twelve-hour fast are:
• fasting serum, 70 to 100 mg/dL;
• fasting whole blood, 60 to 100 mg/dL;
• nonfasting whole blood, 85 to 125 mg/dL in persons over age 50, and
70 to 1 15 mg/dL in persons under age 50.
These laboratory readings help to screen for diabetes mellitus and other
disorders of glucose metabolism. They also monitor drug or dietary therapy
for diabetics, insulin requirements for uncontrolled diabetics, and known or
suspected hypoglycemics.
Fasting blood glucose levels of 140 to 150 mg/dL or higher obtained on
two or more occasions are diagnostic of diabetes mellitus. Nonfasting levelsthat exceed 200 mg/dL also show diabetes. The elevated blood glucose may
come from pancreatitis, hyperthyroidism, pheochromocytoma, chronic
hepatic disease, brain trauma, chronic illness, chronic malnutrition,
eclampsia, anoxia, and convulsive disorders as well.
Depressed blood  glucose occurs from hyperinsulinism, insulin oma, von
Gierke’ s disease, functional or reactive hypoglycemia, hypothyroidism,
adrenal insuf ficiency, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, hypopituitarism, islet
cell carcinoma of the pancreas, hepatic necrosis, and glycogen storage
disease.
THE SERUM  IRON AND  TOTAL IRON-BINDING  CAPACITY  LABORA TORY TEST
Two separate blood tests conducted with buffering and coloring reagents
measure (1) the amount of iron bound to the glycoprotein transferrin and (2)
the plasma’ s total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) if all the transferrin were
saturated with iron. The percent age of saturation is obtained by dividing the
serum iron result by the TIBC, which reveals the actual amount of saturated
transferrin. Normal transferrin is 30 percent saturated. Thus, the two tests
(a) estimate total iron storage, (b) diagnose hemochromatosis, (c)
distinguish between iron deficiency anemia and chronic disease anemia,

External Use of Lipase
To remove fatty lumps (lipoma), or yellow-brownish skin marks (xanth omas), or to rejuvenate aging or damaged skin, mix a
suitable amount of lipase with a carrier agent, such as unheated honey, MSM in water or fresh aloe vera gel. It may also help to10/30/24, 11:11 AM Health-Science-Spirit - Lipase & Fat Metabolism

several days. Repeat from time to time if and as required. You may also try it on external tumors, skin cancer, moles and boils, but
in this case also add a capsule of halibut liver oil. Use this method for skin cancer on a sensitive area such as the lips in
preference to any harsher measures. Also applying the south pole of a magnet to lipomas, moles or skin cancer may help, while
xanthomas may respond to rubbing on lemon juice or vitamin C.
To regenerate aging skin, you may rub on a mixture of lipase with aloe vera gel, deodorized ﬁsh oil and vitamin E oil, or add some
lipase to your favorite natural skin lotion just before you rub it on. Alternatively, you may rub the skin with a lipase-rich nutrient,
such as unpasteurized cream, or mix some raw egg yolk or avocado with your skin lotion. Unheated coconut milk is highly
germicidal, and especially good for areas af fected by Candida and other fungi.
To lose weight from speciﬁc parts of the body, such as thighs, buttocks or stomach regularly rub on lipase dissolved in an agent
that easily penetrates the skin such as aloe vera gel, vanishing cream or, possibly most effective, DMSO. In addition frequently
stimulate this area by rhythmic tensing and relaxing the involved muscles, by massaging the area and using alternating hot and
cold showers on it.
Safety
In regard to safety, tests with rats did not show any side-ef fects after intakes of 2 g/kg of high-potency lipase for several months.
For a human that would be equivalent to taking 100 to 150 g daily. Also there are no reported health incidents. Therefore health
authorities generally do not have any concerns about lipase as nutrition al supplement. A committee report of the Australian TGA
states:” Authors of safety studies and reviews indicated that they could ﬁnd no reports of adverse reactions for oral consumption
of microbial-derived enzymes in humans”(CMEC47).
Caution: There is a theoretical possibility that a continued high intake of lipase  supplements, especially in combination with
elevated blood fat levels, may cause the blood to become high in free fatty acids. This can cause overacidity, and in addition fatty
acids may enter cells too rapidly. Over time, this may cause muscle problems. Therefore, if you notice overacidity or any kind of
muscle problems developing, tempo rarily stop lipase supplementation, and possibly re-introduce it at a later date at a lower dose.
Furthermore, as enzymes are proteins, there is always the possibility of an allergy against the used lipase developing. Therefore
watch out for this possibility, and possibly switch to a lipase produced by a dif ferent strain if you suspect any allergic reaction.

by W alter Last
The human body has a bio-energy- circulation system similar to the blood-circulation system. The bio-energy ﬂows along 12 main
meridians, or channels. These are symmetrical on each side of the body, each pair being related to a speciﬁc organ.
In addition, there are two single meridians following the midline of the body, one at the front and the other along the spine. Many
points are distributed along the meridians. These points are essentially transformer stations through which bio-energy ﬂows into the
muscle structure to allow organized activity to take place.
In disease, imbalances develop in these energy ﬂows, causing some of the transformer points to become irritated or congested. This
results in pain or weakness in the surrounding muscles. Stimulating these points with special needles (acupuncture) or pressure
(acupressure) helps to normalize impaired conditions. In addition, you may use electro-acupuncture to treat points with a weak DC
current. Electro-acupuncture instruments are relatively cheap and easy to use.
Try to ﬁnd tender points by pressing with a thumb or ﬁnger in a circular motion around the area indicated for each point on the charts
of the meridians. For treatment concentrate on the most painful spots, pressing them frequently as explained for reﬂexology in
Chapter 2. Generally, the pain decre ases after some time of pressing, but should it increase instead, then interrupt the treatment for
several days.
Tender pressure points may stem from either a local condition or a problem in the main organ associated with that particular
meridian; also, the pain may be referred from a more distant body part connected to the same meridian. There is, of course, an
interaction between these dif ferent areas.
When the main organ is inﬂamed, most points along its meridian will be tender. The points especially useful for diagnosing and
treating the organ directly are located around the ankles and wrists. They are called'source-points'. Further source-points are
situated along the bladder meridian close to the spine, and also as local-points on various meridians near the target organ.
Rules for Selecting Points
The following general rules are useful for selecting points for treatment.
Points above the knees or elbows reﬂect mainly local conditions, while those below these joints reﬂect local as well as distant
conditions at other parts of the meridian.
Generally, the closer the points are to the ﬁngertips or toes, the closer to the other end of the meridian will be the related sphere of
inﬂuence.
For acute, painful conditions treat mainly distant-points, for chronic conditions add local-points.
This means, for example, that if you wish to treat an acute eye or ear pain you select points near the toes and ﬁngers, while to treat
shoulders and hips you move close to the elbows or knees. For a more chronic condition you press in addition the tender spots
around the ears and eyes, and hips and shoulders.
You may also add points of other meridians that have a direct relationship to the problem. Eye problems, for example, are often
associated with poor kidney and liver functions. Therefore, some points of these organs may be treated as well.
Furthermore, the points at the should ers, the shoulder blades and the base of the neck control the circulation to the arms and hands;
while the points at the hips, the buttocks and around the base of the spine control the circulation to the legs and feet. Therefore, treat
poor circulation, numbness and pain in the extremities by pressing the points in the indicated control areas.
Frequently, the pressure points of a pair of meridians will be more sensitive on one side of the body than on the other side. This
indicates an imbalance in the energy  ﬂows. The meridian with the more tender points requires sedation, relaxation and withdrawal of
energy, while its counterpart on the
Instead of needling or pressing acup uncture-points, you may place the north pole of a small magnet on a point for stimulation or the
south pole for sedation.
MERIDIAN THERAPY
A main problem in healing is the balancing of the energy ﬂows. Usually, this balancing occurs unrecognised as a by-product of other
successful treatments. However, healing can be initiated and accelerated by deliberately treating the meridians with the express
purpose of balancing.
A useful method for this is to follow the outline of a meridian (see the Meridian Chart below), with one ﬁnger or with several ﬁngers
held closely together. Following a meridian in the normal ﬂow direction  is strengthening, while tracing in the opposite direction will
weaken and sedate the meridian. The results of these tracings may be checked with muscle testing.

FOR REFLECTION
O n  T r u e  F o r g i v e n e s s
T rue for g iveness is not a lack of discernment or the product of fuzzy
thinking. It is a  “selective remembering.” W e choose to remember the
love we experien ced, and to let go of the rest as the illusion it re ally was.
This doe sn’ t make us more vuln erable to manipulation or exploitation; in
fact, it makes us less so. For t he mind that for gives is a mind that is
closer to its true  nature. The fact that I for give you doesn’ t m ean you
“won.” I t doesn’ t mean you “go t away with something.” It simply means
I’m free to go back to the light, reclaim my inner peace, and stay there.DA Y 86

W hen sad ness overwhelms me, I can’ t cast it out with my rat ional
mind. I can’ t analyze depression and expect it to dissolve. There are
times when I need a miracle to rise above my tears.
T oday, o r any day when I feel overcome with grief, I’ll reme mber
that God wipes away all tears a nd He will wipe away mine. This period
of sa dness is painful but it is tem porary. This too shall pass. So  have we
been promised by God, and His promises are real.
Dear God,
Please take away the sadness in my heart.
Send Y our spirit to r earrange my thoughts,
That my emotions might heal.
Make my life again a happy place.

but m agnanimou s. May I show mercy to others as God has show n mercy
to me.
All of us live in fear at times. May I be kinder today than I have been
before, t hat all those around me—those who rise as well as th ose who
fall—might feel from me the love of a friend.
Those w ho have shown me mer cy have been angels in my lif e,

L ike everyone, I have my prejudices—my opinions about those who do
not agree with m y view of the world. Y et my incapacity to lov e them is
my own contribution to the fear s that plague the planet. T oday I seek to
love even those I cannot bring myself to like.
I devote my day to blessing those whom I do not like, knowing that if
I kn ew t hem as God knows them, then I would love them as H e does. I
ask not that they change but that I might see them more clearly. May
their innocence become obvious to me.
Dear God,
I am willing to see the love
In those whom I cannot bring myself to like.
I am willing to see the innocence in those I judge
And the beauty in those I condemn.
Please heal my mind of its own darkness.

W hen not at peace, I am separate from my true self. When not feeling
love, I am separate from God. T oday I claim my oneness with  God so
that my suf fering shall end.
May false and delusional fractals of my true self—angry, needy,
controlling, or whatever—go back now to the nothingness from  whence
they came. For they are not me, and today I embrace the experience of
my true self.

978193 58261 8752495FACIAL DIAGNOSIS OF CELL SALT DEFICIENCIES is a fabulous, comprehensive resource that
every physician who wants to incorporate natural medicine in their practice should have. It not only thoroughly reviews the pathophysiology of each cell salt, but also details the physical signs if one’s body is deficient. Each chapter has a summary and color facial photos of each cell salt deficiency in its acute and chronic states. I highly recommend this book. — Cindi Croft, D.O.
THIS BOOK HAS HELPED ME to efficiently and quickly identify weak areas in my clients’ health,
allowing me to more easily target priority issues, resulting in deeper and longer lasting balances for the sustained renewal of health. Cell salt supplementation has dramatically increased the general overall health and vitality of my clients. — Christopher Noel, Licensed Massage Therapist, Energy Kinesiologist, Kinergetics Consultant
DAVE CARD IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE in the field of Homeopathic medicine, and his
approach is practical and articulate. His books can be used as a guide to wellness in Alternative Medicine, and they have been a great tool in my own practice. The pictures in Facial Diagnosis of Cell Salt Deficiencies allow patients to relate to their medical concerns. In our time, as more Americans are taking greater responsibility for their own health, I can see these books helping people to take care of their medical concerns. I strongly support Dave’s book, and will recommend it to anyone, including those in the medical field, as a guide and for the application of Homeopathic medicine. — Cesar Diaz, M.D., Family Practice/Natural MedicineDeficiencies in diet and metabolism, together with disease conditions, are easily
observed in the face, if you know what to look for. This book is about how to “read
the face” to determine which essential cell salts (also known as tissue salts) are
lacking in the body. When a diagnosis is determined, the patient or clinician
can then remedy that condition by supplementing with the proper cell salt.
Based in the pioneering work of German researcher Dr. W.H. Schuessler (1880),
and American physician Dr. George W. Carey (1920), this book presents
a compendium for the 21ST century – an efficient guidebook
for both health practitioner and patient.The condition of facial skin is a

, and future are all properties of consciousness. The past is
recollection, memory; the future is anticipation; the present is awareness.
Therefore time is the movement of thought. Both past and future are born in
the imagination; only the present, which is awareness, is real and eternal. It
is. It is the potentiality for space-time, matter, and energy. It is an eternal
field of possibil ities experiencin g itself as abstract forces, whether they be
light, heat, electricity, magnetism, or gravity. These forces are neither in the
past nor in the future. They just are.Our interpretation of these abstract forces gives us the experience of
concrete phenomena and form. Remembered interpretations of abstract
forces create the experience of the past, anticipatory interpretations of the
same abstract forces create the future. They are the qualities of attention in
consciousness. When these qualities are freed from the burden  of the past,
then action in the present becom es the fertile ground for the creation of the
future. Intention, grounded in this detached freedom of the present, serves
as the catalyst for the right mix of matter, energy, and space-time events to
create whatever it is that you desire. If you have life-centered, present-
moment awareness, then the imaginary obstacles
which are more than ninety percent of perceived obstacles   disintegrate and
disappear. The remaining five to ten percent of perceived obstacles can be
transmuted into opportunities through one-pointed intention.
One-pointed intention is that quality of attention that is unbe nding in its
fixity of purpose. One-pointed intention means holding your attention to the
intended outcom e with such unbending purpose that you absolutely refuse
to allow obstacles to consume and dissipate the focused quality of your
attention. There is a total and complete exclusion of all obstacles from your
consciousness. You are able to maintain an unshakable serenity while being
committed to your goal with intense passion. This is the power of detached
awareness and one-pointed, focused intention simultaneously.
Learn to harness the power of intention, and you can create anything you
desire. You can still get results through effort and through trying, but at a
cost. The cost is stress, heart attacks, and the compromised function of your
immune system. It is much better to execute the following five steps in the
Law of Intention and Desire. When you follow these five steps for fulfilling
your desires, intention generates its own power:
(1) Slip into the gap. This means to center yourself in that silent space
between thoughts, to go into the silence   that level of Being which is your
essential state. (2) Established in that state of Being, release your intentions
and desires. When you are actua lly in the gap, there  s no thought, there  s no
intention, but as you come out of the gap   at that junction betw een the gap
and a thought   you introduce the intention. If you have a series of goals, you
can write them down, and have your intention focused on them before yougo into the gap. If you want a successful career, for example, you go into
the gap with that intention, and the intention will already be there as a faint
flicker in your awareness. Releasing your intentions and desires in the gap
means planting them in the fertile ground of pure potentiality, and expecting
them to bloom when the season is right. You do not want to dig up the seeds
of your desires to see if they are growing, or get rigidly attached  to the way
in which they will unfold. Y ou simply want to release them.
(3) Remain in the state of self-re ferral. This means remain established in the
awareness of your true Self   your spirit, your connection to the field of pure
potentiality. It also 27
The law of Intention and Desire¶
means not to look at yourself  through the eyes of the world, or allow
yourself to be influenced by the opinions and criticisms of others. A helpful
way to maintain  that state of self-referral is to keep your desires to yourself;
do not share them with anyone else unless they share the exact same desires
that you have and are closely bonded with you.
(4) Relinquish your attachment to the outcome. This means giving up your
rigid attachment to a specific result and living in the wisdom of uncertainty.
It means  enjoyi ng every moment in the journey of your life, even if you
don t know the outcome. (5) Let the universe handle the details. Your
intentions and desires, when released in the gap, have infinite  organizing
power. Trust that infinite organizing power of intention to orches trate all the
details for you.
Remember that your true nature is one of pure spirit. Carry the
consciousness of your spirit wherever you go, gently release your desires,
and the universe will handle the details for you.
APPLYING THE LAW OF INTENTION
AND DESIRE
I will put the Law of Intention and Desire into effect by making a
commitment to take the following steps:(1) I will make a list of all my desires. I will carry this list with me
wherever I go. I will look at this list before I go into my silence and
meditation. I will look at it before I go to sleep at night. I will look at it
when I wake up in the morning. (2) I will release this list of my desires and
surrender it to the womb of creation, trusting that when things don  t seem to
go my way, there is a reason, and that the cosmic plan has designs for me
much grander than even those  that I have conceived. (3) I will remind
myself to practice present-moment awareness in all my actions. I will refuse
to allow obstacles to consume and dissipate the quality of my attention in
the present moment. I will accept the present as it is, and manifest the future
through my deepest, most cherished intentions and desires.

THE LAW of
DETACHMENT
29
The law of pure Detachment¶
In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty,
in the wisdom of uncertainty lies the freedom from
our past, from the known, which is the prison of
past conditioning.
And in our willingness to step into the unknown,
the field of all possibilities, we surrender ourselves to the creative mind that
orchestrates the dance of the
universe.
Like two golden birds perched on the selfsame
tree, intimate friends, the ego and the Self dwell in
the same body. The former eats the sweet and sourfruits of the tree of life, while the latter looks on in detachment.
 The Mundaka Upanishad
The sixth spiritu al law of success is the Law of Detachment. The Law of
Detachment says that in order to acquire anything in the physical universe,
you have to relinquish your attachment to it. This doesn  t mean you give up
the intention to create your desire. You don  t give up the intention, and you
don t give up the desire. Y ou give up your attachment to the result.
This a very powerful thing to do. The moment you relinquish your
attachment to the result, combining one-pointed intention with detachment
at the same time, you will have  that which you desire. Anything you want
can be acquired  through detachment, because detachment is based on the
unquestioning belief in the power of your true Self. Attachment, on the
other hand, is based on fear and insecurity   and the need for security is
based on not knowing the true Self. The source of wealth, of abundance, or
of anyth ing in the physical world is the Self; it is the conscio usness that
knows how to fulfill every need. Everything else is a symbol: cars, houses,
bank notes, clothes, airplanes. Symbols are transitory; they come and go.
Chasing symbols is like settling for the map instead of the territory. It
creates anxiety; it ends up making you feel hollow and empty inside,
because you exchange your Self for the symbols of your Self.
Attachment comes from poverty consciousness, because attachment is
always to symbols. Detachment is synonymous with wealth consciousness,
because with detachment there is freedom to create. Only from detached
involvement can one have joy and laughter. Then the symbols of wealth are
created spontan eously and effortlessly. Without detachme nt we are
prisoners of helplessness, hope lessness, mundane needs, trivia l concerns,
quiet desperatio n, and seriousness   the distinctive features of everyday
mediocre existen ce and poverty consciousness.T rue wealth consciousness is
the ability to have anything you want, anytime you want, and with least
effort. To be grounded in this experience you have to be grounded in the
wisdom of uncertainty. In this uncertainty you will find the freedom to
create anything you want. Peop le are constantly seeking security, and you
will find that seeking security is actually a very ephemeral thing. Even
attachment to money is a sign of insecurity. You might say,  When I have Xmillion dollars, then I  ll be secure. Then I  ll be financially independent and I
will retire. Then I will do all the things I really want to do.   But it never
happens   never happens. The Seven spiritual laws of Success

Misleading Thoughts
About Birth DefectsOne of the central points of confusion regarding genetics and disease is the
common misunderstanding between genetic and congenital defects. Most people
assume that a condition present at birth is genetically determined. Not so. In a
newborn baby, the environmental conditions in the womb contributed to every step
of its development. Defects caused by problematic conditions in the womb are
congenital, not genetic.
Building a baby puts a huge demand on the mother, which can be met only with a
much higher than normal intake of nutrients. Grave consequences often affect the
developing fetus if a mother fails to obtain proper nutrition.
Congenital defects—
biochemical and physical defects present at birth— are not determined by genes, but
by the same two causes responsible for all disease: deficiency and toxicity.
If the mother’s cells are neither deficient nor toxic, her baby’s chances for a
healthy life increase dramatically. As a fetus passes through various developmental
stages, tissues and cells grow very quickly. Rapidly dividing cells are at a greater
risk of suffering from insufficient nutrients, too much of certain hormones or the
presence of certain toxins. These conditions can alter the development of the baby’s
tissues, permanently affecting the physical and mental function of the child.
An unfavorable environment in the womb causes a developing fetus to make
compromises in order to compensate for deficiency or toxicity. These
compensations come at a very high price, a price that often is invisible and
impossible to measure. Perhaps the newborn’s nervous system is compromised and
the child’s IQ will be lower than it might otherwise be. Perhaps the baby’s digestive
system is not fully developed, leading to digestive problems, disease and shortened
life span. Perhaps the circulatory system is not fully developed, making it
impossible for optimal amounts of nutrients and oxygen to reach the tissues, thus
guaranteeing premature aging and disease. Perhaps the baby is born with a cleft
palate, a clubfoot or a heart defect.
Some of these problems are obvious at birth, but most are not. When they are
obvious, we usually blame them on genetics, but they are mostly congenital. To
avoid these problems, parents, especially prior to and during pregnancy, must follow
the six pathways closely, optimizing their cellular function and minimizing the
chances of congenital problems in their children.
Choosing Your Destiny
Although perfect nutrition, perfect genes, a pure environment and ideal behavior
do not exist, these factors write the story of your life, including how many chapters
you will finish.
The interaction between inherited genes, nutritional intake, the
environment and our beliefs at any point in time are the triggers that determine our
current state of health or disease, including how long we live.By changing the conditions inside your body, you can signal your genes to express
in different ways. Our society tends to think that disease is the result of aging. Not
true. The Hunzas and other historically healthy populations lived to very old ages
without disease. Disease is a result of the rate at which we age, not the number of
years we have inhabited the Earth. The rate is affected by “aging genes,” which we
can choose to keep turned off.
You can create a younger and healthier you, as was suggested by Arthur Vander,
M.D., in his 1981 book,
Nutrition, Stress, & Toxic Chemicals: An Approach to
Environmental-Health Controversies.
Dr. Vander said, “Different environments, by
altering gene expression, can produce... an incredible variety of ‘yous.’”
By assuming that inherited genes cause disease, one assumes that disease occurs
regardless of dietary and lifestyle factors—in other words, environment. Not so,
which is why we can have such a powerful influence on the balance between health
and disease. Genes are important, but they are only one small piece of a much larger
puzzle. Fundamentally, there is only one disease (malfunctioning cells), and it has
only two causes (deficiency and toxicity).
Regardless of the recipe you start with, a dish is only as good as the ingredients
put into it. The same goes for a cell. When a cell is provided with the proper
nutrients, kept free from toxins and placed in a supportive environment, health-
supporting genes are activated, aging and disease-causing genes remain dormant,
and both your cells and you are healthy. To move yourself in the right direction on
the genetic pathway, create a healthy environment for your genes and protect them
from damage.10

“[T]he greatest danger to your health is the doctor who
practices Modern Medicine.”
Robert Mendelsohn, M.D.
Confessions of a Medical Heretic
O
ne spring morning, more than twenty years ago, I received a call from my
father’s physician telling me that my father, hospitalized for emphysema, was dying
of kidney failure. I raced to the hospital almost two hundred miles away. My brother
and I found our father in a deep coma. He looked as if he were dead.
The doctors advised us to disconnect his life-support systems and allow him to
slip away peacefully. We knew our father would not choose to live hooked to
machines in a vegetative state. We knew his own decision would be to pull the plug.
We consented. All life-support measures were terminated.
Late that evening, our father was still alive but in a deep coma. In the morning,
my brother and I returned to the hospital with anxiety and grief. We thought that he
might have died during the night. Instead, we found our father sitting up and telling
jokes to the nurse!
A miracle? No. The doctors had been giving our father “life-saving” prescription
drugs that put a lethal load of toxins on his kidneys. When the drugs were stopped,
his body was able to rebalance and begin to repair itself. A night without the drugs
was sufficient. Our decision to “let him die” saved him.
Had he died, his death would have been attributed to kidney failure, not the
prescription drugs that were causing his kidneys to fail.
My father’s story is extreme, yet all too common. The vast number of medically
caused deaths is underreported and underestimated. Prescription errors, surgical
mistakes and missed diagnoses do not even begin to describe the scope of the
problem. The truth is lost in prescription pads, health charts and death certificates,
which do not reflect the true causes of death and disease. We pride ourselves on the
accomplishments of modern medicine without acknowledging its failures. Actually,
medical intervention may be the leading cause of death in the United States.
Conventional medical treatments can be both a blessing or a curse. These
treatments are good, even excellent, in crisis intervention and treatment of injuries.
But conventional medicine does not prevent nor cure disease; it manages symptoms.
We wait for disease to happen, wait for the damage to be done and then try to control
the problems by “treating,” using assembly-line techniques that are currently
fashionable, expensive and usually dangerous. These techniques cause cellular
malfunction—often cavalierly called “side effects”— which lead to unnecessary
suffering, disease and death. Even so-called preventive medicine usually is only
early disease detection, rather than real prevention.The present system suffers from a disease-care bias. Very few medical resources
are devoted to disease prevention by helping people to maintain cellular health
through diet, nutritional supplements, detoxification, exercise, healthful
environment, state of mind and lifestyle. Instead, resources are devoted toward
treating the effects of disease. Our modern medical system fails to find cures for
chronic diseases despite vast sums of money spent on research every year. The late
Emanuel Cheraskin, M.D., D.M.D., at the University of Alabama Medical Center,
said, “American medical care is the fastest-growing failing business in Western
Civilization.”
The Truth and the Consequences
Many people maintain total and unquestioning trust in modern medicine. They get
advice and treatments from only one school of thought and willingly surrender their
personal health responsibilities to the hands of their doctor. This approach is not
sensible.
Educate yourself before you follow anyone else’s advice, including your
physician’s.
Health is the responsibility of the individual.
Rarely do most people realize that certain aspects of medicine might harm their
health, or that better alternatives might exist. Instead, they do what is familiar and
conventional. Confronted with a health problem, they go to the doctor either because
they do not know how to solve the problem or they are intimidated by alternatives.
This was certainly my experience.
The medical pathway teaches you how all kinds of medical treatments affect your
body at the cellular level, the benefits and the dangers. With this understanding, and
if you are not blinded by unquestioning trust in modern medicine, you can evaluate
the evidence and make the best choices about medical care for yourself and for your
family. With the right health choices, you should not become sick. But if you do,
you must take an active part in your care which means more than blindly following
someone else’s advice. You need to learn how to take charge—relying on medicine
alone is not a sensible long-term solution.
Like most people in our society, I grew up wholeheartedly trusting modern
medicine. When I became sick I took my physicians’ advice without question and
bel


 compulsions and phobias may continue much longer.
The Normal-Histamine T ype
Schizophrenics with normal histami ne levels were found to excrete high amounts of kryptopyrrole in the urine. It results from an
abnormality in the haemoglobin synthesis and strongly binds vitamin B6 and zinc, taking both out of the body and thereby creating
severe deﬁciencies. This condition has been called pyroluria and because of colour changes in the urine it is also known as the
mauve factor. High doses of niacinamide can prevent pyroluria, therefor e 500 to 1000 mg of this should be taken in addition to zinc
and vitamin B6.
Pyroluria  often seems to be inherited. However, not all pyrolurics are or become schizophrenic, sometimes more somatic health
problems develop instead, although mental disorders develop in a high percentage of afﬂicted individuals. High levels of vitamin B6
and zinc usually restore brain activit y to normal within a few weeks. Pyroluria may also be present in the other schizophrenic types,
especially with histadelics and both conditions then require treatment.
Common symptoms due to the combined zinc and vitamin B6 deﬁciency  are white spots or bands on ﬁngernails, poor dream recall,
sweetish breath odour, stretch marks, inability to tan and sensitivity to sunlight, pain in the upper left abdomen (spleen), tremors or
spasms, amnesia, impotence, menstrual irregularity, anaemia, constipation, sallow complexion, morning nausea. Of course, only
some of these symptoms may be present.
The most serious mental symptom is a tendency to suicidal depressions. This is similar to the histadelic schizophrenic as, indeed, the
histadelic and pyroluric condition frequently overlap. Treatment, therefore, is as for histadelics, basically more fruit and the same diet
and supplements but possibly with higher vitamin B6, zinc and manganes e intakes. Vitamin B6 has been used in amounts of 3 g daily
but this should not be necessary on a low-allergy high quality diet and with sufﬁcient zinc and manganese.
If dream recall cannot be achieved with high vitamin B6 intake of around 1 g per day, increase manganese temporarily to 100 mg per
day. Use daily vitamin B6 intakes above 500 mg under professional supervision. Take about 20 mg of zinc with each meal. See also
under DEPRESSION below.
MANIC DEPRESSIVE ILLNESS or BIPOLAR DISORDER
There are periods of either mania (overexcitement) or depression lasting for several months at a time and sometimes alternating,
possibly interrupted by several years without symptoms. The disease is thought to be inherited. However, it is more likely that mainly
a tendency to wheat, gluten or cows' milk allergy is inherited together with sensitivity to exitotoxins, and a much higher metabolic
requirement for the vitamins B6 and B12 and an abnormal fat metabolism.
Follow the diet recommended for high-histamine schizophrenia, but avoid all exitotoxins (see above) and test all grains for allergy or
better, avoid grains. Preferably start with weekly 1000 mcg vitamin B12 injections and continue after improvement with daily 250 mcg
tablets to be absorbed under the tongue Take vitamin B6, zinc and manganese in increasing amounts until dream recall. Folic acid
may help, except for those with high histamine levels.
If insensitive take half a teaspoon of ascorbic acid mixed with meals, if sensitive use calcium ascorbate instead. Up to 1 tbsp. of
lecithin with meals or 15 - 30 g daily. During the manic phase use initially  taurine (3 x 1-2 g before meals), the vitamins C, E, B6, B12,
folic acid and the minerals zinc, manganese and magnesium. Other B vitamins can be too stimulating but you may experiment.
Minimise fast-digesting food, including fruit, except apples and avocado. Take up to 1 tbsp. per meal of food quality linseed oil.
With mania go on a prolonged fast of only unpolluted water or herb tea, or diluted juice of cereal grasses and vegetable juices, or
apples, or a low-allergy diet such as on brown rice and vegetables. During the depressive phase also experiment with the following
recommendations.
DEPRESSION
Use a high-quality low-allergy diet. With sensitive skin and emotional lability use mainly slow-digesting food based on lentils and other
legumes, brown rice and vegetables, with insensitive conditions use plenty of fruit. Avoid food to which you may be addicted or on
which you may binge, such as chocolate, coffee, tea or alcohol. Give yourself a special treat from time to time without using sweet or
junk food.
Often depression is simply due to speciﬁc or general B-vitamin deﬁci ency as after antibiotic treatment, after childbirth or during
breastfeeding. The most important vitamins are B6, B12, C, niacin or nicotinamide, folic acid and the minerals zinc, magnesium,
calcium and manganese.10/30/24, 4:13 PM Health-Science-Spirit - Mental Illness
https://health-science-spirit.com/Diseases/Mental-Illness.html 10/13Initially take a high-potency multivitamin-mineral tablet with most meals and additional amounts of vitamin B6 and zinc up to dream
recall or 500 mg of vitamin B6. Try equal parts of ascorbic acid and Milk of Magnesia in addition to calcium ascorbate. Alternatively, if
available, use magnesium chloride or otherwise chelated magnesium in divided doses for a daily magnesium intake of close to 1 g.
The most effective general remedy for depression is ﬁsh oil, use severa l grams daily mixed with food. Also mixed with meals have 1
tsp. of lecithin and 1 tbsp. of ground linseed, also gamma linolenic acid may help, it is best obtained from spirulina. A suitable herb is
Hypericum or St. John’ s wort. Flowe r Remedies can be helpful as for instance the Bach Flower Remedies Aspen, Gentian, Gorse
and Mustard.
Individual amino acids can be very effective. Try up to 2 g of L-(or D,L) phenylalanine and tyrosine each before meals or alternatively
up to 2 g of tryptophan. You may also try taking phenylalanine and tyrosin e only before breakfast and tryptophan only at bedtime. The
amino acid glutamine may be used as an additional brain fuel.
Depression often results from low thyroid and adrenal functions. Check your temperature under the armpit before rising, women
check in the ﬁrst 10 days of the menses or before ovulation. If it is below 36.5 degrees C you may try thyroid extract (absorb under
the tongue) and iodine from kelp. In addition, selenium is required to activate thyroid hormone, therefore take 200 mcg per day.
Use prayer, afﬁrmations, meditation and guided imagery to uplift your feelings and solve your problems. Learn to trust in your inner or
higher guidance and ask it to take care of your problems. Socialise and ﬁnd a group with similar interests. Forgive yourself and others
for any mistakes or misdeeds.
Correct any constipation as with increased amounts of raw vegetables, magnesium and ground linseed; take cultures of acidophilus
and biﬁdo-bacteria. Have any dead teeth removed and preferably amalga m ﬁllings replaced. Avoid lead pollution. Kyolic (aged garlic),
cooked garlic and some raw garlic assist in detoxiﬁcation.
Candida albicans, an internal fungus infestation, is now quite common due to the overuse of antibiotics. You may suspect it if you
have or formerly had thrush or a tender abdomen. With heavy infestation Candida can go into the bloodstream and cause depression
and other psychiatric symptoms. For details on treatment see the article  on Candida and the Antibiotic Syndrome  and also Intestinal
Sanitation  in Healing Foods.
Deep breathing exercises help. You may combine this with some slow jogging or other aerobic exercise. However, the main beneﬁt is
from the breathing, strenuous muscle activity could have the opposite effect. You may just run on the spot or dance to lively music but
always with vigorous breathing. In addition try shaking the whole body for a minute during fast breathing.
Light Therapy
For many years it was already known that there is a seasonal form of depression that occurs due to the lack of sufﬁcient sunlight,
especially in higher latitudes. This can be overcome with light therapy. However, it now appears that light deﬁciency is a more general
cause of depression. Bright light, and especially the blue part of the spectrum, strongly stimulates the release of the brain chemical
serotonin, which is related to elevated mood. It is not necessary to use blue light for therapy, as the blue fraction is part of sunlight or
daylight, and also of full-spectrum electric lights. For articles on the relationship between light and serotonin see
https://thebestbrainpossible.com/sunshine-vitamin-d-depression-serotonin/
The best time for treatment is immediately after waking. If the sun is visible then look towards the sun without glasses or behind a
window, but of course not directly into the sun. Otherwise look towards a strong full-spectrum white light for half an hour or longer
