 not limited to: excessive
menstruation; frequent or deep coughing; frequent urination; headaches;
diarrhea; numbness; tingling of the arms, legs, hands and feet; skin eruptions
and gas.
During this cleansing and healing process, old symptoms of past diseases
or weaknesses may return and then disappear as the body heals that particular
area. These are old, toxic problems that were originally suppressed; and now
the body has worked its way into these areas to rebuild and restore normal
tissue function. In one case, an Amish woman who had poison ivy over
twenty years ago had treated it with chemical medications and “cured” it
(supposedly). On her detoxification program, her poison ivy came back in
exactly the same places where she had treated it before. This was amazing
even to me. You can clean out old, suppressed toxicity from when you were
a child, or even from when you were still inside your mother’s womb.
LIMITING OR STOPPING THE USE OF PHARMACEUTICALS

If you are taking chemical medications and you wish to limit their use, or stopthem completely as you approach this process of detoxification and
regeneration, here are some of the things that I, personally, would do:
FIRST
 — This program normalizes blood sugars. If I were a diabetic, I
would watch my sugars
daily and adjust my insulin accordingly or have my
doctor help me.
SECOND
 — This program lowers blood pressure when it is too high, and
raises it when it is too low. If I were taking medications for high blood
pressure I would monitor my blood pressure regularly. I would not want to
give myself hypotension or low blood pressure. This could make you faint,
have equilibrium problems, or worse. It’s not wise.
THIRD
 — I would always reduce my use of medications slowly. However,
high blood pressure and diabetes may require a more rapid termination of
medication and can be done without side effects.
Some medications “lock” you in and cause your body to become
addicted to them. This is especially true with neurological medications and
some steroids like prednisone. Always ask your doctor to help you. If he or
she refuses, then you have no choice but to do it for yourself. Many medical
doctors get angry and upset if their patients try to help themselves. Many if
not most allopathic doctors have no training and education in detoxification
and regeneration; therefore they tend to disparage what they don’t know.
This viewpoint leaves many disgruntled people to seek their own ways. This
is one reason why this book is being written. Remember, it’s always your
choice. Live healthy, live medication free.
Note: It is rare to have reactions between herbs and medications.
However, it is always possible. Simply observe yourself and how you feel.
You will know if the things you are taking are reacting with each other or
not. Use common sense and work with your natural health practitioner.
Summary

Most individuals do not experience many of the previously explained
symptoms. In general, the more toxic the person, the stronger the “healing
crisis” that may occur. Always remember that a healing crisis is very
important and extremely beneficial. The symptoms or discomforts are all part
of the cleansing process, as the toxins and poisons in the body must be
expelled.Generally the healing crisis is short-lived, so give it time and be patient.
Be sure you are eating all raw foods—mainly fresh fruits and fresh juices.
Most fruits have strong antioxidant and astringent properties for helping the
body rid itself of toxins. If you do not feel like eating, do not eat. Let the
body rest and be sure to drink plenty of fresh juices or pure water. Do not let
the body dehydrate.
If your diet is 80 percent or more of fresh, raw, uncooked fruits and
vegetables, all your symptoms will be due to the “process of detoxifying” that
your body is putting itself through. If your diet is 50/50, your symptoms may
be more of an acid condition. This can keep your healing crisis hanging on
for days.
You may also wish to use botanical formulas to assist the cleanse.
Resting and having a positive mental attitude are essential as well. If the
healing crisis has lasted more than two to three weeks and you need a break
from this process, just begin eating cooked foods again. This will lower the
body’s energy causing the cleansing action to stop. However, it is highly
recommended to push the cleansing as long as possible. Detoxification
always
 leads to vitality. In the end, detoxification will bring vibrant health,
vitality and spirituality.
MODULE 6.6
The “Healing Crisis”

The following are some examples of the “Healing Crisis” that can happen
during the cleansing processes. During my thirty years of detoxification
experience I have witnessed so many different types of healing “crises” that I
do not have the space to cover them all. This section deals with the most
common side effects, many of which I have undergone from my own
detoxification efforts.
I have divided these cleansing side effects into three categories: Mild,
Moderate and Strong. Each of these levels may be experienced at one time or
another. However, most people do not experience the strong levels. It all
depends upon one’s level of toxicity, combined with his or her systemic (total
body) energies or strength.MILD CLEANSING EFFECTS

Cold and flu-like symptoms
Low-grade fevers (99°–100° Fahrenheit)
Coughing with or without discharge
Clear and yellow mucus discharge from nose or throat (lungs, bronchi,
etc.; this mucus may include blood)
Minor aches and pains
Mucus in stools
Mucus in urine
Loss of energy (may go up and down)
Rashes and itching
Disease symptoms increasing temporarily
Mucus from eyes
Mild headaches
Minor blurred vision
Minor vertigo
Weight loss (average 8-15 lbs. in two weeks. Depends upon level of
thyroid weakness. Can be as little as 2 lbs.)
Chills
Emotions rising up, such as mild crying, anger or even laughter
Short term nose bleeds
Some rectal bleeding (hemorrhoids or lesions)
Minor blood in urine
MODERATE CLEANSING EFFECTS

Symptoms of bronchitis or pneumonia
Heavy discharges of green to brown mucus from nose and throat (lungs,
bronchi, etc.)
Pain in joints
Heavy discharge from kidneys (urine color changes to brown, orange or
dark yellow, etc.)
Pain in old injuries or in degenerative areas of the body
Minor paralysis of limbs
Chronic fatigue symptomsNosebleeds
Spasms of the lungs in asthma/emphysema/ C.O.P.D.
Moderate shortness of breath (asthma, emphysema, C.O.P.D.)
Temporary increase in tumor size
Disease symptoms magnifying (short-lived)
Sores appearing on the skin
Oozing of innumerable substances from the skin, especially from the
hands and feet
Bruising
Weak muscle breakdown (muscle built from meat protein)
Heavy mucus discharge from eyes and ears
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Cellulitis “clumping”
Dizziness and/or vertigo
Minor heart palpitations
Loose teeth (minor)
Minor abscesses in mouth
Migraines
High-grade fever (103° to 105° Fahrenheit)
Deep coughing (sometimes dry). Use herbs to loosen and eliminate
(expectorate) the impacted mucus.
Depression or anxieties
Emotional releasing (crying, anger, laughter, etc.)
Heavy thoughts (lack of clarity)
Skin splitting where heavy toxins exist
Excessive itching
Mercury tooth fillings can be pushed out by the body
Rectal bleeding from past or present hemorrhoids or lesions
You may experience one or several of the above cleansing effects. Don’t
panic. You want these. I love to see dark-green mucus coming out of my
patients. That’s an excellent sign that they are doing the program correctly
and are benefiting from it.
It is always smart to work with a qualified healthcare practitioner who
has had advanced experience with detoxification and its side effects.
STRONG CLEANSING EFFECTS
Paralysis of any part of the body
Black mucus discharges from the lungs
Heavy brown discharge or blood in the urine with associated kidney pain
Heavy black discharge from the bowels with diarrhea
Tumors popping out all over the body
Loss of sight
Loss of hearing
Severe dizziness (or vertigo)
Severe fatigue
Abscesses developing all through the mouth
Loss of fingernails or toenails
Excessive weight loss (this can result when a pancreatic weakness exists)
Severe shortness of breath (use an antispasmodic or inhaler)
Temporary deep depression, released through crying, anger, laughter,
etc.
Mental confusion
Skin cracking open
Teeth becoming loose (major)
Old suppressed symptoms (like the case of “poison ivy”) reappear
Most people do not experience this severe level of detoxification. It
depends upon the individual and how toxic he or she is. How many
medications a person is taking is also a factor. A few people who have chosen
to suppress their body’s need to cleanse itself (through steroids like
prednisone) will have some deeper issues. However, those who are more
likely to experience the severe effects are the chronically toxic from birth,
who manifest cancer, H.I.V. and/or other serious illnesses


  on
you.  I feel  so certain  ere long,  I shall  know  just  what  I can
depend  on; and  that  is a very  great  deal,  to enable  us to go
forward  in the Progress  of the Protection  of your  Beloved
America. DISCOURSE  VIII  123
As you  sit here  before  Me,  it is quite  as though  you  were
sitting  in Chananda's  Audience  Chamber,  adjoining  the
Cave  of Light.  Tonight,  as the Beloved  Messenger  asked
you,  will  you  feel  you  are actually  sitting  there  in His
Audience  Chamber  before  Me,  as was  described  to you?
While  just  yet,  I may  not stand  visible  before  you,  as I did
with  those  Children,  yet "I AM"  as Tangibly  here.  There-
fore,  in the Service  which  I am rendering  tonight,  will  you
be kind  enough  to accept  It in the Fulness  of Its Power,
altho  you  do not understand  It? It is not necessary,  but just
have  the Kindly  Loving  Feeling  of Acceptance  of all I am
doing  for you.  That  is all I require  to do the Work.
While  this  is going  on, I want  to take  you  on a little
Journey  into  the realms  of discovery;  and  tell you  why  the
need  for the Protection  of your  America  is so great.  The
destructive  forces  which  have  not yet been  wholly  brought
into subjection—in  the last  lashing  of the dragon's  tail,  it
has brought  forth  some  of the most  destructive  agencies.
During  your  recent  world  war,  there  were  many  discover-
ies brought  forth  which  were  so tragic,  so drastic  in their
nature  even  then;  but  since  then,  still  more  destructive
things,  have  been  brought  into  the outer  use.  Yet,  guard-
edly,  We have  watched  they  were  not released.
Tonight,  I have  made  you  a part  of the Great  Protection,
far more  so than  you  know;  and  far more,  than  I may
explain  to you  tonight—except  to simply  call  your  atten-
tion to It! I mean,  not  only  you  who  are here,  but  all of
the Earnest  "I AM"  Students  thruout  America! 124 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
I want  to say at this  point,  I am so sorry  for those  Blessed
Ones  who  thru  foolish  human  suggestion,  have  turned
aside  from  This  Pathway  of Light.  I am sorry  indeed,  for
We wanted  them  to enter  This  Great  Stream  of Light  and
Perfection.  Too  late,  they  will  see their  mistake.  We  must
move  forward.  We cannot  wait  for anyone  or human  idio-
syncrasies.  We  would  so love  to have  all who  have  once
entered  This  Stream  of Light,  move  forward  with  Us, but
such  is their  choice.
I shall  say something  and  please  don't  let it seem  startling
to you.  As in the training  of Bob,  Rex,  Nada  and  Pearl  and
those  who  were  there,  so today,  We  are taking  advantage
of opportunities.  I find  thru  This  Activity  which  I have
started,  many  of you  in your  Higher  Mental  Bodies,  can do
Tremendous  Work.  That  shall  be utilized.  First,  thru  the
Assistance  of your  Higher  Mental  Bodies,  you  will  be
taught  how  to draw  from  the physical  octave,  the energy
which  is required.  So your  Higher  Mental  Body  may  pro-
ject those  Rays  of Light,  to render  the  Service  which  is
needed  today;  until  We can  bring  other  Individuals  to the
point,  where  We  can  teach  them  in the outer  intellectual
mind,  the use of These  Rays.  We see all which  is occurring
in the destructive  activities!  We must  counter-balance  that,
by the use of the Light  Rays!  Now  the Law  of the Light  is,
We may  not  use  a destructive  force;  but  WE  CAN  DO
OTHER  THINGS!  We  can  use the Constructive  Powers,
to govern  the  forces  of darkness  or destructive  qualities;
and this  We are preparing  to do! DISCOURSE  VIII  125
Notice!  but  for  your  Beloved  Saint  Germain  having
brought  you,  as Students  thus  far, this  would  not have  been
possible.  So you  have  Him  to thank  with  all your  Love  and
Gratitude,  and  I am sure  you  do. As He brought  Bob,  Rex,
Nada,  Pearl  and  those  with  them  to the point  where  That
Service  could  be rendered;  so has He brought  you  today,
in less than  three  years,  to This  Point—where  This  Service
can be rendered  in the  outer  world,  of which  you  are a
part—far  more  Transcendent,  than  I am just  describing  to
you tonight.
You have  been  taught  to say to the forces  of darkness
and to the human  creation  which  is limiting:  "You  have
no power"!  Beloved  Ones,  send  that  forth  with  Greater  and
Greater  Earnestness  and  Intensity!  Say  with  a Great  Calm
Majesty  and  Power  from  your  Presence,  to all human  crea-
tion;  "'You  have  no Power'!  Be thou  dissolved  by the
Power  of the Light"!
Individually,  please  do not miss  one  day,  and  especially
at night,  saying  to all human  creation:  "In the Name  of my
'Beloved  Mighty  I AM  Presence'  and  the Power  of the As-
cended  Masters,  I say  to all human  creation:  'You  have
no power'!  'Mighty  I AM  Presence'  and  Great  Cosmic
Light!  Project  Thy  Mighty  Light  Rays  in and  thru  the
Earth—establishing  Thy  Currents  thruout  the atmosphere
of Earth;  and  cause  all destructive  qualities  and  activities
there  to cease  to exist"!  Then,  We  will  do the rest.
These  simple  Calls  which  you  are sending  forth,  make
everything  possible  for Us,  and  it is you  who  need  the 126 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
Protection!  It is your  Beloved  Humanity  which  needs  Pro-
tection.  When  I have  noticed  among  the Earnest  Students
such  a great  desire  to serve,  Oh Beloved  Ones,  if you  in
the silence  of your  own  chamber,  will  make  these  Calls,  as
I have  just explained,  how  Great  will  be your  Service  which
you are rendering.  Will  you  who  are visiting  here,  please
carry  This  with  you  to the Students  in the  various  parts
of America  and  the Group  Leaders ?
You might  think  We  are accumulating  a great  deal  for
you to do. It does  not mean,  you  must  use all the things
which  are before  you  each  day.  Please  understand  this  Be-
loved  Students:  "As  you  advance  and  We  advance  in the
Activity  which  is required,  and  We  offer  certain  Require-
ments  for you  to fulfill—do  not let yourselves  become  con-
fused  by something  which  is added."  All is a stepping  up
process,  as you  use  the  term  in electrical  parlance.  It is

When I was


divine love can be experienced before you will perceive them. For anyone
on the spiritual path there is tremendous reward in finding that the promise
of etern al joy, peace, knowledge, and creativity is true. The truth isn’t
revealed all at once, but a day doesn’ t go by that one’s faith that love is a
real power isn’t reinforced. If you live according to the assumption that
there is a Way, the Way will be opened. This is what Christ meant when he
said, “Ask, and it shall be given you;... knock, and the door shall be
opened unto you.”
Karma can never be simply a system of r ewar d and punishment, since it is the way to love.Seen in its most profound depths, the path to love is the same for both
saint and sinner, since both must strip away any belief in the roles they are
temporarily playing. There is a famous mystical Christian text, The Cloud
of Unknowing, which dates from the fourteenth century. Its writer, who
remains anonym ous, says that loving God can never be loving anything you
can know or even locate. Love in the spiritual sense involves letting go of
all that is known:
Let go of this everywhere and this some thing, in exchange for this nowhere and this
nothing. Do not worry  if your senses cannot understand this nothing, for this is why I love it
the better.... Who is it that calls it nothing? Surely it is our outer man and not our inner
man. Our inner man calls it All.
This anonymou s mystic has touched upon the profound truth that the
thinking mind, immersed in “something” and searching “everywhere,”
cannot reach the divine. God is beyond karma, and therefore so is spirit,
since God is nothing but spirit on an all-embracing scale. The “outer man”
perceives the world very differently from the “inner man.” If I ask, “Who
am I?” one sort of answer involv es nothing but externals: I am a man, forty-
nine years old, born in India, who has practiced medicine in America, who
is married with two children, and so on. These are all karmic qualities, the
results of specific events or actions that pertain to me. They give me labels
that I can identify with.
Yet in some other, more profound way these qualities, even if you added
thousands more to the list, do not define me at all. Nothing anyone can
attach to me is actually me, not the me defined as inner essence, free will,
silent awareness, infinite potential, unbounded spirit. That me, the “inner
man,” stands outside bondage. It can be “felt rather than seen,” says our
medieval mystic, and is best described as a “cloud of unkno wing.” This
cloud is like a luminous glow in the heart, out of which a sense of the divine
emanates, yet in no way could the five senses capture it or the rational,
linear, cause-and-ef fect mind know it.
ALLOWING AND  CONTROL
If the theory of karma is valid, then nonattachment is the trues t expression
of love. I realize that this is very abstract. We can, however, restate things interms of everyday behavior and in the process bring the abstrac tions down
to earth. We all want to be allowed to do what we want; a rebellious
impulse rises in our hearts whenever someone tries to control us. These two
words, contr ol and allowing, are synonyms for attachment and
nonattachment. If you allow, you let others go in love; if you control, you
attach them instead to your own way of doing things, your own beliefs and
expectations. The issue at stake is psychologically very immediate, and it
figures into almost every relationship one way or another.
When one person is trying to control another in a relationship, he usually
doesn’ t admit what is going on. Instead, his motivations are made to look
like love. Isn’t it loving to protect your partner, look out for her interests,
oversee her wants and desires? For many people this passes  as genuine
love.
One example is a relationship in which the man insists on keeping all
knowledge about finances away from the woman. She is not allowed to see
the checkbook; the man’ s exact  income is kept vague; any attempt to earn
her own money is rejected or argued out of existence. Althoug h this was a
common arrangement in the past, women’ s self-respect has risen to the
point that any man who attempts to impose financial impotenc e is making
his intentions abundandy clear: he wants to control her.
The root of this kind of mascu line control appears to be a belief that
women are too childish, irratio nal, or superficial to handle money. (Of
course, sociologists have long ago dismissed such beliefs by showing that
women, if anything, have a more conservative and sober approach to
finances than men. No woma n has ever sunk a savings and loan or
bankrupted a national treasury.) But this attempt to focus on the woman’ s
shortcomings hides the man’ s deeper motive, which is his own anxiety that
without total financial control he cannot survive. There is almost always
another wrinkle, too, that without control of the purse strings he cannot hold
a woman’ s love, for controlling people deeply fear abandonment.
Imagine that such a man is told he has to surrender control by divulging
all his financial secrets to his wife, and in addition that she must share in
spending his money, taking a portion of it as her own, free and clear,
without his approval over what she does with it. This would be the most
direct way to confront his anxiety; it would expose the lack of love that hisbehavior is hiding. But imposing such a change wouldn’ t actua lly heal the
fear; that can only happen by a shift in consciousness.
Control is the way your ego “solves” the problem of fear. When ever any
of us falls into controlling behavior, one of the following scenarios is at
work in the unconscious:
We are afraid someone will reject us.
We are afraid of failing.
We are afraid of being wrong.
We are afraid of being powerless.
We are afraid of being destroyed.
None of these fears makes you a bad person, or a weak one. Everyone is
faced with simil ar fears, yet only those people who cannot admi t the threats
hiding inside cope with them by resorting to control.
A controlling person appears to be free from fear; that is the facade that
control presents to the world. We put a high social value on seeming to be
in control of our lives, which further promotes the ego’s belief that its
controlling behavior is working. The unfaced problem here is that control
never actually solves the insecurity that underlies it. On the contrary,
control increases fear by denying that it exists.
What behaviors am I talking about? In clinical psychology many kinds of
behavior are considered control ling—perfectionism, stubborn clinging to a
point of view, intolerance, looking after others’ needs, being disappointed
when expectations are not met, putting up false expectations,
possessiveness, greed, and the tendency to get angry if opposed or
confronted. This list covers a huge spectrum of behavior that many people
would regard as normal. Examine the following list in light of your own
behavior:
Do you keep secrets from your beloved, especially about money?
Do you dominate conversation and expect your point of view to be acknowledged as right?
Do you keep a mental list of the times you have been disappointed by someone you love? Do you
hold grudges?
When you make a suggestion, are you of fended or put of f if it isn’ t taken? Do you secretly believe
you are still right after people ignore you to do what they want?
Have you generally figured out how things really work? Do you not bother to change your beliefs
when you are contradicted or even proven wrong?In the name of love we all resor t to these unloving behaviors at one time
or anoth er. We say, “I love you,” to someone yet secretly keep a tabulation
of his shortcomings. The end of such behavior begins when you see that
control is incompatible with love. “I love you” and “I expect you to behave
my way” come from two totally  separate parts of the psyche—one is of the
spirit, the other of the ego.
Protecting some one else appears to be a way of sheltering her inside your
power, but at the same time it prevents her from challenging that power or
asserting any of her own. If this last point doesn’ t seem imme diately true,
think of dictator s, who always start out believing that their seizu re of power
is for the good of the country. The populace then becomes like powerless
children living by the benevolent grace of a political father figure. Yet
however well disposed to people’ s welfare, dictators inevitably live in fear.
No one is more  to be feared than a person whose power you have taken
away, even if he or she agrees to it. In order to protect this power, the
dictator is forced to impose harsher and harsher controls, putting more
people in fear of him, until things escalate beyond control, and the people
rebel.
Many relationships proceed on the same basis. In the name of love one
person assumes power and the other gives it away. Instead of being drawn
clo


 cannot annoy you or irritate you except you
permit him. Your thought is creative; you can bless him. If some one
calls you a skunk, you have the freedom to say to the other, “God’s
peace fills your soul.”
14. Love is the answer to getting along with others. Love is
understanding, good will, and respecting the divinity of the other.
15. You would not hate a hunchback or cripple. You would have
compassion. Have compassion and understanding for mental
hunchbacks who have been conditioned negatively. To understand all
is to forgive all.
16. Rejoice in the success, promotion, and good fortune of the other.
In doing so, you attract good fortune to yourself.
17. Never yield to emotional scenes and tantrums of others.
Appeasement never wins. Do not be a doormat. Adhere to that which
is right. Stick to your ideal, knowing that the mental outlook, whic h
 176  gives you peace, happiness, and joy, is right, good, and true. What
blesses you, blesses all.
18. All you owe any person in the world is love, and love is wishing
for everyone what you wish for yourself—health, happiness, and all
the blessings of life.

How to Use Your Subconscious Mind
for Forgiveness
Life plays no favorites. God is Life, and this Life-Principle  is
flowing through you this moment. God loves to express Him-self as
harmony,  peace, beauty, joy, and abundance through you. This is
called the will of God or the tendency of Life.
If you set up resistance in your mind to the flow of Life thr ough
you, this emotional congestion will get snarled up in your
subconscious mind and cause all kinds of negative conditions. God
has nothing to do with unhappy or chaotic conditions in the world.
Man’s negative and destructive thinking brings about all these
conditions. Therefore, it is silly to blame God for your trouble or
sickness.
Many persons habitually set up mental resistance to the f low of Life
by accusing and reproaching God for the sin, sick-ness, and suffer ing
of mankind. Others cast the blame on God for their pains, aches,  and
loss of loved ones, personal tragedies, and accidents. They are a ngry
at God, and they believe He is responsible for their misery.
As long as people entertain such negative concepts about God, t hey
will experience the automatic negative reactions from the ir
subconscious minds.
Actually, such people do not know that they are punishing
themselves. They must see the truth, find release, and give up all
condemnation, resentment, and anger against anyone or any power
outside themselves. Otherwise, they cannot go forward into a hea lthy,
happy, or creative activity. The minute these people entertain a God of
love in their minds and hearts, and when they believe that God is their
Loving Father who watches over them, cares for them, guides them,
sustains and strengthens them, this concept and belief about G od or
 178  the Life-Principle will be accepted by their sub-conscious mind, and
they will find themselves blessed in count-less ways.
• Life always forgives you
Life forgives you when you cut your finger. The subcon-scious
intelligence within you sets about immediately to repair it. New cells
build bridges over the cut. Should you take some tainted food by error,
Life forgives you and causes you to regurgitate it in order t o preserve
you. If you burn your hand, the Life-Principle reduces the edema and
congestion, and gives you new skin, tissue, and cells. Life holds no
grudges against you, and it is always forgiving you. Life bring s you
back to health, vitality, harmony, and peace, if you co-operate  by
think-ing in harmony with nature. Negative, hurtful memories, bitt er-
ness, and ill will clutter up and impede the free flow of th e Life-
Principle in you.
• How he banished that feeling of guilt
I knew a man who worked every night until about one o’clock in the
morning. He paid no attention to his two boys or his wife. He was
always too busy working hard. He thought people should pat him on
the back because he was working so arduously and persistently past
midnight every night. He had a blood pressure of over two hundred
and was full of guilt.
Un-consciously, he proceeded to punish himself by hard work and
he completely ignored his children. A normal man does not do that.
He is interested in his boys and in their development. He does not shut
his wife out of his world.
I explained to him why he was working so arduously, “There is
something eating you inside, otherwise, you would not act this way.
You are punishing yourself, and you have to learn to forgive
yourself.” He did have a deep sense of guilt. It was toward a brother.
I explained to him that God was not punishing him, but that he was
punishing himself. For example, if you misuse the laws of life, you
will suffer accordingly. If you put your hand on a naked charged wi re,
 179  you will get burned. The forces of nature are not evil; it is your use of
them that determines whether they have a good or evil effect.
Electricity is not evil; it depends on how you use it, whether to b urn
down a structure or light up a home. The only sin is ignorance of the
law, and the only pun-ishment is the automatic reaction of man’ s
misuse of the law.
If you misuse the principle of chemistry, you may blow up the
office or the factory. If you strike your hand on a board, you may
cause your hand to bleed. The board is not for that purpose. Its
purpose may be to lean upon or to support your feet.
This man realized that God does not condemn or punish anyone,
and that all his suffering was due to the reaction of his s ubconscious
mind to his own negative and destructive think-ing. He had cheated
his brother at one time, and the brother had now passed on. Still, he
was full of remorse and guilt.
I asked him, “Would you cheat your brother now?”
He said, “No.”
“Did you feel you were justified at the time?”
His reply was, “Yes.”
“But, you would not do it now?”
He added, “No, I am helping others to know how to live.”
I added the following comment, “You have a greater reason and
understanding now. Forgiveness is to forgive your-self. Forgiveness i s
getting your thoughts in line with the divine law of harmony.
Selfcondemnation is called hell (bondage and restriction); forgi veness
is called heaven (harmony and peace).”
The burden of guilt and self-condemnation was lifted from his mind,
and he had a complete healing. The doctor tested his blood pressur e,
and it had become normal. The explanation was the cure.

 180  • A murderer learned to forgive himself
A man who murdered his brother in Europe visited me many yea rs
ago. He was suffering from great mental anguish and torture believing
that God must punish him. He explained that his brother had been
having an affair with his wife, and that he had shot him on the spur of
the moment. This had hap-pened about fifteen years previous t o his
interview with me. In the meantime, this man had married an
American girl and had been blessed with three lovely children. He was
in a posi-tion where he helped many people, and he was a transf ormed
man.
My explanation to him was that physically and psycho-log ically he
was not the same man who shot his brother, since scientists i nform us
that every cell of our bodies changes every eleven months. Moreov er,
mentally and spiritually he was a new man. He was now full o f love
and good will for humanity. The “old” man who committed the crime
fifteen years before was mentally and spiritually dead. Ac tually, he
was condemning an innocent man!
This explanation had a profound effect upon him, and he said it was
as if a great weight had been lifted from his mind. He reali zed the
significance of the following truth in the Bible: Come now, let us
reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they
shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, the y shall
be as wool. ISAIAH 1:18.
• Criticism cannot hurt you without your consent
A schoolteacher told me that one of her associates criticize d a
speech she had given, saying to her that she spoke too fast, she
swallowed some of her words, she couldn’t be heard, her diction was
poor, and her speech ineffective. This teacher was furious an d full of
resentment toward her critic.
She admitted to me that the criticisms were just. Her firs t reaction

 lining the nose, throat and lungs prevent most unwan ted
microbes from entering  the body. Sticky mucus captures the great majority of germs and viruses, which are ejected when the
mucus is eliminated. Most germlife taken in food is destroyed by hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Bacteria and viruses that
manage to enter the bloodstrea m or lymph are unable to get through most healthy cellular membranes, and they face almost certain
destruction by other parts of the immune system.

The four elimination channels (skin, lungs and bronchials, kidneys, bowel) play an important part in immuni ty by ridding the body
of food wastes and metabolic wastes that would otherwise support the growth and multiplication of harmful germs and viruses.
The liver detoxifies the blood as a “backup system” for the elimination channels. The immune system, strictl y speaking, is made
up of the lymphatic system, including the spleen, tonsils and appendix and some breast tissue, but also the tnymus gland, the
Kupfer cells of the liver, and Peyer’s patches in the small intestine. The lymph system produces several types  of specialized cells
capable of destroying bacteria and unwanted foreign matter, white blood cells called by such interesting names as
polymorpholeucocytes, phagocytes, B -cells and T -cells. Kupfer cells, lining the spaces of the liver, consume bacteria fr om the
blood as it is filtered. The cells of the Peyer’s patches, in the small intestine, operate in a similar way, preventing destr uctive
bacteria from attacking the intestinal wall. Special cells in the spleen destroy old blood cells. The lymphatic syste m has thousands
of miles of lymph vessels in the body, paralleling the blood circulatory system. Along these lymph vessels are found nodes ra nging
in size from a pinhead to a pencil eraser, and clusters of these nodes are found in the groin, armpits and ne ck. Lymph nodes filter
out bacteria and foreign matter from the liquids of the body. Specialized white blood cells circulate in the blood and lymph,
destroying undesirable germlife and toxic waste as they go along. Antibodies and a chemical substance calle d interferon work
together to protect the body against viruses. Interferon is a chemical secreted in response to viral invasion, which protects  cells and
slows viral action. Antibodies are proteins whose job is to identify and destroy harmful viruses. In a  complex series of actions,
special cells first learn to identify the “weak spots” of harmful viruses, and then antibodies are manufactured which are abl e to
track down these vi -ruses, attach themselves directly to them, and destroy them.

When the elimina tion channels are underactive, toxic materials enter the blood and lymph systems too rapidly to be cleaned out by
the liver and immune system functions. These toxic materials settle in the inherently weak organs and tissues, either directl y
causing under -activity, or inviting infection by viruses or bacteria. The immune system becomes increasingly underactive, leaving
the body more and more unprotected against germlife, toxic wastes, and various chronic and degenerative diseases.
The strongest natural defen se against disease is a clean, rested body, chemically balanced with the proper foods, with healthy,
active elimination channels.

CHAPTER 9
CASE HISTORIES AND TESTIMONIALS
DISCUSSION BETWEEN DR. P., AN EMINENT OSTEOPATHIC PHYSICIAN OF ENTON HALL, ENGLAND,  AND DR.
BERNARD JENSEN, ABOUT THE TISSUE CLEANSING PROGRAM
Dr. J. Doctor, you have just seen me go through a colema treatment. You have observed how the treatment works. Tell me what
you think of it.
Dr. R. To me, it is an eye opener and a verification of  what I have believed and have tried to overcome in our own colonic
machines; but I’ve never seen anything to equal the results that you are getting. I always felt it took weeks, if not months,  of
fasting and colonies to accomplish what you are getting in a relatively short length of time.
Dr. J. Do you think the colema process is thorough enough to provide long -term benefits for the whole body?
Dr. R. I am sure of it. Furthermore, when you are fasting, cleansing and eliminating, nature is squeezing her spo nge. She is
throwing these toxins into the intestinal tract, and you are able to bring them out in this spectacular way.
Dr. J. Have you ever seen specimens from the bowel demonstrated as well as in this cleansing program?
Dr. R. Never. In all my 50 year’s  experience with colonies, I’ve never seen anything to equal this.
Dr. J. From my experience with the tissue cleansing program, I can’t help feeling it is a process that would help everybody. I think
many people would profit from a good cleansing that woul d help keep them from trouble like hardening of the arteries, cholesterol
deposits, high triglycerides and so forth.
Dr. R. This is preventive medicine at its best, because atoxic bowel is the sewer of the body. It is the most important elimi native
structu re of the system, and to get this cleansed out and to give it a chance to function normally, I think is fundamental.
Dr. J. We have to compensate for the junk we’ve put into our bodies. I think it is almost a sin to have coffee and donuts, bu t God
only knows I was raised on them. I grew up on Danish pastry. There must be something built into my body pattern that is still ther e
to a certain extent, and I think that has to be cleaned out. This is one of those ways of going back and clearing out those t oxins
from polluted air, polluted water, junk foods and body acids induced by stress. To me, this seems the best way to compensate
for all of that.
Dr. R. Let’s put it this way, it is the fastest and best way I know of.
Dr. J. Don’t you feel that this along wi th nutrition provides the fundamentals to start with?
Dr. R. Absolutely. Clean out, and then build upon a sound nutritional basis. Most people only come to think senously of these
problems through personal ill health and not being able to find the solution. Then we start searching. Thank God, I landed in a
naturopathic school.
Dr. J. Well, I think it was a godsend that brought you here today to see this at the age of 78, after practicing 50 years. I am in the
same position, up in the 70s, and now I see some thing that I didn’t see before. Why wasn’t somebody there to tell me? Don’t you
feel that same thing about this cleansing program?
Dr. R. I am convinced of it. It’s an eye opener. It gives you a new dimension to your thinking, a realization that bowel func tion and
bowel toxemia are very real and very constant problems.
Dr. J. Have you ever seen anything like this before?
Dr.R. Never!

CASE HISTORIES
PATIENT 1
Patient complained of leg and foot problems; ulcers (open, running and partially encrusted on heel,  instep and outside ankle of
right foot; heel and instep of left foot); swollen ankles. The leg problems began two years prior to time of examination. Con ditions
previously treated without success by several physicians. Ulcers worsened. Unable to wear shoe s for over a year. Unable to wear
stockings previous three weeks due to increasing number of eruptions from ulcers. Blood pressure 80/58. Patient complained of
cold hands and feet.
HISTORY. Severe diarrhea for previous seven and a half years. Seven or eigh t bowel movements per day. No relief from either
drugstore medications or prescription drugs. Hospitalized with kidney stone attack in January 1976 (four years ago) with surg ery
recommended by hospital staff physicians. Refused surgery, treated self at wif e’s recommendation with vitamins and nutritional
supplements for two months. No recurrence of kidney stone attacks since that time. (Lab test after examination showed creatin ine
level at 0.6 mg/dl —within normal range.) Family history of foot problems. Pate rnal grandfather died of gangrene which first
appeared on right foot. Physician’s diagnosis of grandfather included hardening of arteries, low blood pressure and diabetes.  After
right leg amputation, gangrene appeared on left foot. Amputation of left leg f ollowed by recurrence of gangrene on stumps of both
legs. Death resulted two years after left leg amputation. Patient’s mother suffered from swollen right ankle during heat of s ummers
in Midwest. Physician advised that problem was due to heart condition. P atient reported that his brothers and sisters all had
varicose veins, as well as his paternal grandfather. Mother and one brother died of colitis. One physician who saw patient (a n
acupuncturist) diagnosed problem with feet as due to colitis, reasoning th at male children inherit mother’s problems, female
children inherit father’s problems. Patient left without taking treatments because the physician simply assumed the diagnosis. In
1976, patient had complete medical examination with EKG, chest X -ray, usual  lab tests and several biopsies of the stomach.

She was brought to our auto-urine therapy centre at Goregoan with the help of three women from an acupressure centre. It was also very difficult for her to walk.  The persons coming with her were all non-vegetarian, hence I gave her my fresh urine to drink. At that time she did not know that she was given urine. After a little while she urinated properly and she felt great relief from pain.  126 Later on I treated her with acupressure for a year. She even drinks her own fresh urine regularly.

After the talk, I left very convinced and I began to give the urine to my daughter. The 20th of May of 1996 I began to give my daughter the therapy and by 28th of May I had to do tests on her. We found that my daughter had problems of the "reflux urevolateral". The Doctors set up an operation in 4 months. At this time I had to give her antibiotics. She got worse and the drugs did not convince me she would get better. My Daughter was very anemic.  My husband and I then decided to give her urine each month. We did the procedure for her each month and the pediatric Doctor was very surprised to see that the girl was better than a person that had ever been ill. So on every month I did the procedure to her and she no longer has infections. During the infection in an entire year she only gained 1kg.

And then for the whole day I could not pass urine so got myself admitted to Civil Hospital. The surgeon declared that I was a case of kidney stone. For thirty days I took medicines and injections which gave considerable relief. During this period in the hospital a book on auto-urine therapy came to my hand. I followed it and practised auto-urine experiment. After continuous three months' practice of the therapy I have been completely free from the ailment.”  from Manav Mootra by R. M.

With the intake of urine he had clear motions, and there was no difficulty in urination. He also started massages with old urine, after which he used to take baths with warm water. The experiment continued for a month and the following benefits were obtained.  Constipation had been removed to a great extent. Now the stools were of a natural color. Piles were eliminated altogether. Appetite was revived, and he began to enjoy his meals. 129 A scar of dry ringworm was cleared by rubbing urine. Back pain alleviated. Urination is easy, but slight burning sensation is still there, due to the narrowing down of the passage. Eruption near the left ear has gone.

 methodology. "Scientific" data requires control groups, matched populations, statistical analysis, etc. In my case  there
was no previous work my dissertation c ommittee would accept, because the available data did not originate from a medical school
or psychology department they recognized.
    Due to a lot of determination and perseverance I finally did succeed in getting my thesis accepted, and triumphed over m y
doctoral committee. And I graduated with a dual Ph.D. in both counseling psychology and gerontology. My ambition was to
establish the orthomolecular approach on the west coast. At that time I knew of only two clinics in the world actively using
nutrition al therapy. One was in New York and the other, was a Russian experimental fasting program for schizophrenics. Doctors
Hoffer and Osmond had used orthomolecular therapy in a Canadian mental hospital as early as 1950, but they had both gone on t o
other thing s.
    The newly graduated Dr. Isabelle Moser, Ph.D. was at this point actually an unemployed mother, renting an old, end -of-the-
road, far -in-the-country farmhouse; by then I had two small daughters. I strongly preferred to take care of my own children in stead
of turning them over to a baby sitter. My location and my children made it difficult for me to work any place but at home. So
naturally, I made my family home into a hospital for psychotic individuals. I started out with one resident patient at a tim e, using
no psychiatric drugs. I had very good results and learned a tremendous amount with each client, because each one was differen t
and each was my first of each type.
    With any psychotic residing in your home it is foolhardy to become inattentive e ven for one hour, including what are normally
considered sleeping hours. I have found the most profoundly ill mentally ill person still to be very crafty and aware even th ough
they may appear to be unconscious or nonresponsive. Psychotics are also generall y very intuitive, using faculties most of us use
very little or not at all. For example one of my first patients, Christine, believed that I was trying to electrocute her. Th ough she
would not talk, she repeatedly drew pictures depicting this. She had, qui te logically within her own reality, decided to kill me with
a butcher knife in self -defense before I succeeded in killing her. I had to disarm Christine several times, hide all the household
knives, change my sleeping spot frequently, and generally stay s ufficiently awake at night to respond to slight, creaky sounds that
could indicate the approach of stealthily placed small bare feet.
    With orthomolecular treatment Christine improved but also became more difficult to live with as she got better. For e xample,
when she came out of catatonic -like immobility, she became extremely promiscuous, and was determined to sleep with my
husband. In fact she kept crawling into bed with him with no clothes on. Either we had to forcefully remove her or the bed wo uld
be handed over to her --without a resident man. Christine then decided (logically) that I was an obstacle to her sex life, and once
more set out to kill me. This stage also passed, eventually and Christine got tolerably well.
    Christine's healing process  is quite typical and demonstrates why orthomolecular treatment is not popular. As a psychotic
genuinely improves, their aberrated behavior often becomes more aggressive initially and thus, harder to control. It seems fa r more
convenient for all concerned to suppress psychotic behavior with stupefying drugs. A drugged person can be controlled when
they're in a sort of perpetual sedation but then, they never get genuinely well, either.
    Another early patient, Elizabeth, gave me a particularly valuable les son, one that changed the direction of my career away from
curing insanity and toward regular medicine. Elizabeth was a catatonic schizophrenic who did not speak or move, except for so me
waxy posturing. She had to be fed, dressed and pottied. Elizabeth was  a pretty little brunette who got through a couple of years of
college and then spent several years in a state mental hospital. She had recently run away from a hospital, and had been foun d
wandering aimlessly or standing rigidly, apparently staring fixedl y at nothing. The emergency mental health facility in a small city
nearby called me up and asked if I would take her. I said I would, and drove into town to pick her up. I found Elizabeth in
someone's back yard staring at a bush. It took me three hours to persuade her to get in my car, but that effort turned out to be the
easiest part of the next months.
    Elizabeth would do nothing for herself, including going to the bathroom. I managed to get some nutrition into her, and change
her clothes, but that wa s about all I could do. Eventually she wore me down; I drifted off for an hour's nap instead of watching her
all night. Elizabeth slipped away in the autumn darkness and vanished. Needless to say, when daylight came I desperately sear ched
the buildings, th e yard, gardens, woods, and even the nearby river. I called in a missing person report and the police looked as
well. We stopped searching after a week because there just wasn't any place else to look. Then, into my kitchen, right in fro nt of
our round eye s and gaping mouths, walked a smiling, pleasant, talkative young woman who was quite sane.
    She said, "Hello I'm Elizabeth! I'm sorry I was such a hassle last week, and thank you for trying to take care of me so well.  I was
too sick to know any better."  She said she had gone out our back door the week before and crawled under a pile of fallen leaves on
the ground in our back yard with a black tarp over them. We had looked under the tarp at least fifty times during the days pa st, but
never thought to look  under the leaves as well.
    This amazing occurrence made my head go bong to say the least; it was obvious that Elizabeth had not been ‘schizophrenic'
because of her genetics, nor because of stress, nor malnutrition, nor hypoglycemia, nor because of any of the causes of mental
illness I had previously learned to identify and rectify, but because of food allergies. Elizabeth was spontaneously cured be cause
she'd had nothing to eat for a week. The composting pile of leaves hiding her had produced enough hea t to keep her warm at night
and the heap contained sufficient moisture to keep her from getting too dehydrated. She looked wonderful, with clear shiny bl ue
eyes, clear skin with good color, though she was slightly slimmer than when I had last seen her.
    I then administered Coca's Pulse Test (see the Appendix) and quickly discovered Elizabeth was wildly intolerant to wheat and
dairy products. Following the well known health gurus of that time like Adelle Davis, I had self -righteously been feeding her
home-made whole wheat bread from hand -ground Organic wheat, and home -made cultured yogurt from our own organically -fed
goats. But by doing this I had only maintained her insanity. Elizabeth was an intelligent young woman, and once she understoo d
what was caus ing her problems, she had no trouble completely eliminating certain foods from her diet. She shuddered at the
thought that had she not come to my place and discovered the problem, she would probably have died on the back ward of some
institution for the ch ronically mentally ill.
    As for me, I will always be grateful to her for opening my eyes and mind a little wider. Elizabeth's case showed me why Russi an
schizophrenics put on a 30 -day water fast had such a high recovery rate. I also remembered all the esoteric books I had read
extolling the benefits of fasting. I also remembered two occasions during my own youth when I had eaten little or nothing for
approximately a month each without realizing that I was "fasting." And doing this had done me nothing bu t good.
    Once when I was thirteen my mother sent my "little" brother and I to a residential fundamentalist bible school. I did not wan t to
go there, although my brother did; he had decided he wanted to be a evangelical minister. I hated bible school bec ause I was
allowed absolutely no independence of action. We were required to attend church services three times a day during the week, a nd
five services on Sunday. As I became more and more unhappy, I ate less and less; in short order I wasn't eating at al l. The school
administration became concerned after I had dropped about 30 pounds in two months, notified my mother and sent me home. I
returned to at -home schooling. I also resumed eating.
    I fasted one other time for about a month when I was 21. It h appened because I had nothing to do while visiting my mother
before returning to University except help with housework and prepare meals. The food available in the backwoods of central B.C.
didn't appeal to me because it was mostly canned vegetables, canne d milk, canned moose meat and bear meat stews with lots of
gravy and greasy potatoes. I decided to pass on it altogether. I remember rather enjoying that time as a fine rest and I left  feeling
very good ready to take on the world full force ahead. At that time I


 Canadian, alive 27 years since developing Hodgkin's
disease. In January of 1  971, Mr. Stirling noticed a swelling on the left side of his neck.
He consulted his local physician who believed the lesion to be a benign cyst, and no
additional evaluation was recommended.
Over the following year, the swelling fluctuated in size. Finally, when his neck
enlarged dramatically in June of 1972, Mr. Stirling returned to his doctor, and was
admitted to Reddy Memorial Hospital in Toronto. Mr. Stirling subsequently went to
surgery for removal of the presumed cyst. However, the mass proved to be a matted
collection of cancerous lymph nodes, fifteen of which were found positive for
nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease.
Mr. Stirling was transferred to Princess Margaret Hospital for further study and
treatment. Serial X-rays of the mediastinum (mid-chest) showed no evidence of
metastatic disease, but additional X-rays confirmed extension of cancer throughout
the pelvis, described in the radiology report as "... filling defects and dilated
intranodal and peripheral sinusoids in the paraortic nodes on the left. These changes
are typical of early involvement by Hodgkin's disease."
A bone scan demonstrated abnormalities in the pelvic region consistent with
metastases, summarized as: "Increased deposition of activity in the left side of the
pelvis and the left sacroiliac joint. Appearance suggests the possibility of an
abnormality of this site."
A liver-spleen scan revealed an enlarged spleen, and a liver infiltrated with tumor.
The records describe: "Appearances on the anterior and right lateral scans are
strongly suggestive of the presence of a space occupying lesion located in the anterior
right lobe (of the liver) — There is also poor concentration of activity within the left
lobe, suggesting the presence of an extensive infiltrating lesion. The spleen is

moderately enlarged."
The standard six-month, six-cycle MOPP chemotherapy protocol was
recommended. After agreeing to the treatment plan, Mr. Stirling received his first
round of MOPP as an inpatient on June 30, 1972. He tolerated the chemotherapy
without significant side effects, and was discharged from the hospital in early July. But
after the second course of drugs, Mr. Stirling developed severe weakness, fatigue and
anorexia. He did eventually recover, and returned to the hospital for a third round of
MOPP in late August. While being treated, Mr. Stirling again became very ill, and
insisted the chemotherapy be stopped. At the time of discharge several days later, he
was told he most probably would not live a year.
Mr. Stirling then began a long automobile trip through the United States. In
September of 1972, while staying with friends in Arizona, he quite by chance learned
of Dr. Kelley's work. Several days later, he was on the road again, heading for Dallas
and an appointment with Dr. Kelley. Within a week, Mr. Stirling had begun the full
Kelley regimen.
Shortly after, the lymph nodes in his neck and auxiliary regions suddenly enlarged,
within a period of months, the swelling regressed, and today, 27 years after his
diagnosis, he still follows the Kelley Program, remains cancer-free and is in excellent
health. Although a single course of MOPP can cause sterility, Mr. Stirling now has
two children of his own and a third by marriage.
In summary, Mr. Stirling suffered widely metastatic, stage IV Hodgkin's disease.
After an abbreviated course of MOPP, the disease recurred explosively. However, Mr.
Stirling's cancer went into remission, apparently for good, as he pursued only the
Kelley Program. Update December 1998; Scott and family are doing fine, cancer free,
healthy and happy in San Diego.
Lung Cancer Testimonial
Philip Bonfiglio
Mr. Philip Bonfiglio is a 52 year-old man from Ohio, who has survived 13 years
since his diagnosis of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the lung.
In early 1974, Mr. Bonfiglio, a heavy smoker, developed a persistent upper
respiratory infection and cough. He consulted his family doctor, who prescribed a
course of antibiotic therapy. Despite the treatment, the symptoms only worsened, and
in March Mr. Bonfiglio returned to his physician. At that time a chest X-ray revealed a
3-centimeter (cm) mass in the upper lobe of the right lung.
131
Winning The Cancer War
Mr. Bonfiglio was admitted to Akron City hospital on April 7, 1974, and the
following day went for exploratory chest surgery. He was found to have a large
inoperable tumor in the right lung that had metastasized to many lymph nodes. These
findings are clearly described in the operative note: "A tumor approximately 4 cm in
greatest diameter was found in the periphery of the posterior segment of the right
upper lobe (of the lung). In the area below the azygos vein were multiple nodes,
which extended posteriorly up along the vena cave and acquired a maximum
diameter of about 3.5-cm. Because of the massive involvement of the mediastinum,
curative resection was not feasible."
Evaluation of a biopsy specimen confirmed: "Poorly differentiated carcinoma
consistent with squamous cell type." In addition, all lymph nodes removed at surgery
were positive for metastatic disease.
Mr. Bonfiglio's doctors recommended a course of cobalt radiation treatment, which
he began while still hospitalized. Nevertheless, he was told that even with such
treatment, his chances of surviving one year were dim. In the discharge summary, the
attending physician wrote: "The patient, due to the metastatic nature of this
carcinoma, does have a poor prognosis."
Mr. Bonfiglio completed the suggested regimen of 5,000 rads to the lungs as an
outpatient. When the tumors continued to grow despite the radiation, a course of
intensive chemotherapy was proposed. But since his disease was believed incurable,
Mr. Bonfiglio refused all further orthodox treatment. Instead, Mr. Bonfiglio decided to
investigate unconventional cancer therapies. He soon learned of Dr. Kelley,
consulted with him and began the Kelley Program in late spring.
Over a several month period, his persistent respiratory symptoms resolved, and
within a year, Mr. Bonfiglio says he felt better than he had for a decade. Today, 13
years after his diagnosis, Mr. Bonfiglio still follows his nutritional protocol and is in
excellent health with no sign of his once metastatic disease.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung is one of the most deadly of cancers. The five
year survival rate for patients with stage III disease, regardless of treatment, is less
than 5%.(1) Stanley reports a median survival of only 24-27 weeks in 32 symptomatic
patients, such as Mr. Bonfiglio, with unresectable tumors.(2)
In summary, Mr. Bonfiglio suffered inoperable, mestastatic lung cancer, which did
not respond to a course of cobalt therapy. It therefore seems appropriate to attribute
this patient's long-term survival to the Kelley program.

Colon Cancer Testimonial
Robert Beesley
Mr. Robert Beesley is a 67 year-old man from Iowa who has survived nearly 12
years since his diagnosis of metastatic colon cancer.
In mid-1975, Mr. Beesley first became fatigued, and developed severe constipation
alternating with episodes of watery diarrhea. Some months later, after noticing bright
red blood in his stool, he consulted his family physician who referred him for tests at
a local clinic.
At that time, a barium enema revealed a large, 5.7-cm. mass in the right colon,
which was believed to be consistent with cancer.
On July 7, 1975, Mr. Beesley was admitted to Iowa Methodist Medical Center for
further evaluation. A liver-spleen scan was Positive for a "suspicious defect of the left
lobe of the liver." It measured approximately 2.5 centimeters in diameter.
Other studies, however, including chest X-rays, showed no sign of metastatic
disease. The following day Mr. Beesley went to surgery for removal of the right half of
his large intestine.
In addition to the colon tumor, he was found to have unresectable metastases in
both lobes of the liver, described in the operative note as "two lesions in the liver,
one in the right and one in the left lobe of the liver." The right one was larger than the
left, measuring about 2 by 2 cms.

Thus, you can resolve to live each day in a new way, being spontan-

same—psychologically dead.
• Have a talk with those people in your life who you feel are most
responsible for your fear of the unknown. State in no uncertain terms
that you intend to do new things, and check out their reactions. You
may find that their incredulity is one of theEXPLORING THE UNKNOWN  / 135things that you’ve always worried about in the past, and as a result
you chose immobilization over those disapproving looks. Now that

• Instead of “Do your best in everything” as a credo for you and
your children, try “Select the things that are important to you, and

myth. You never do your absolute best, nor does anyone else. There
is always room for improvement, since perfection is not a human
attribute.
• Don’t let your convictions keep you stagnant. Believing some-
thing out of past experience and hanging onto that belief is an
avoidance of reality. There is only what is now, and the truth of the

that moment begin a dialogue with yourself. Tell yourself it’s okay
if you don’t know where you are going at every moment of your

Some Final Thoughts on Fearing the Unknown
The above suggestions represent some constructive means of
fighting fear of the unknown. The whole process begins with new
insights into your avoidance behavior, followed by actively challen-

if the great inventors or explorers of the past had feared the un-

BREAKING THE BARRIER
OF CONVENTION
There are no rules, laws or traditions that apply universally…includ-
ing this one.
The world is full of “shoulds” that people apply to their behavior
without evaluation, and the total of these shoulds makes up a very
large erroneous zone. You may be guided by a set of rules and
principles to which you don’t even subscribe, and yet you are unable
to break away and decide for yourself what works and doesn’t work
for you.
Nothing is absolute. There are no rules or laws which always make
sense or provide the greatest amount of good for all occasions.
Flexibility is a far greater virtue, and yet you may find it difficult,
indeed impossible, to break an unserviceable law or violate absurd
tradition. Fitting into your society or enculturation may be useful
for getting along at times, but carried to an extreme, it can become
a neurosis, particularly when unhappiness, depression and anxiety
are the consequences of your meeting the shoulds.
138Nowhere is it being implied or in any way suggested that you
become contemptuous of the law, or break rules simply because you
see fit to do so. Laws are necessary, and order is an important part
of civilized society. But blind adherence to convention is something
else entirely, something, in fact, which may be far more destructive
to the individual than violation of the rules. Often rules are foolish,
and traditions no longer make any sense. When this is the case, and
you are unable to function effectively because you must follow
senseless rules, that is the time to reconsider the rules and your be-
havior.
As Abraham Lincoln once put it, “I never had a policy that I could
always apply. I’ve simply attempted to do what made the greatest
amount of sense at the moment.” He was not a slave to a single
policy that had to apply in every single case, even if the policy was
written with such an intention.
A should is unhealthy only when it gets in the way of healthy and
effective behavior. If you find yourself doing annoying or otherwise
counterproductive things which are the result of a should, you have
renounced your freedom of choice and are allowing yourself to be
controlled by some external force. A closer examination of this in-
ternal versus external control of yourself will be helpful before con-
tinuing to look at these erroneous musts which may clutter your
life.
Internal vs. External Locus of Control
It has been estimated that a full seventy-five percent of the people
in our culture are more external than internal in their personality
orientation. This means that the chances are that you fit into this
category more often than you don’t. What does it mean to be “ex-
ternal” in your locus of control? Essentially, you are external if you
assign responsibility for your emotional state in your present mo-
ments to someone or something external to yourself. Thus, if you
were to be asked the question, “Why doBREAKING THE BARRIER OF CONVENTION  / 139you feel bad?” and you responded with answers like…“My parents
mistreat me,” “She hurt my feelings,” “My friends don’t like me,”
“My luck is down,” or “Things just aren’t going well,” you would
be in this external category. Conversely, if you were asked why you
are so happy, and you responded; “My friends treat me well,” “My
luck has changed,” “Nobody is bugging me,” or “She came through
for me,” you are still in the external frame, assigning responsibility
for how you feel to someone or something outside of you.
The internal locus of control person puts the responsibility for
how he feels squarely on his own shoulders, and this person is in-
deed rare in our culture. When asked the same questions, he re-
sponds with internally oriented answers such as: “I tell myself the
wrong things,” “I put too much emphasis on what others say,” “I
worry about what someone else thinks,” “I’m not strong enough
now to avoid being unhappy,” and “I don’t have the skills to keep
me from being miserable.” Similarly, when the internally-put-togeth-
er person is up, he responds with “I” references such as, “I worked
hard at being happy,” “I made things work for me,” “I’m telling
myself the right things,” “I’m in charge of me, and this is where I
choose to be.” Thus, you have one-fourth of the people

faith in urine therapy and has translated Shri Raojibhai's book
Manav Mutra into Hindi with a devotional spirit. He naturally does
his best in the propagation of this therapy among friends and
acquaintances.
Bharat Sevak Samaj (Gujarat Branch), its President Shri Pannala
Zaveri and his associates are doing splendid work in the
propagation of urine therapy. They gudie by correspondence the
patients who ask for instructions. They publish. books on urine
therapy and the. present book too is an outcome of their efforts and
good~will. CHAPTERV
HUMAN URINE AND IMPORTANCE OF DIETING
By Bapalal Vaidya
In the Water of Life, armstrong has described his own
experiments and that is the reason why it deserves special attention.
The author claims that drinking of urine is a perfect cure of all
diseases. The present book opens a new gateway to health and this
is a matter of great importance.
Ayurved describes properties of urine of eight types of animals,
viz. sheep, goat, cow, buffalo, female elephant, camel, horse and
donkey. The properties of every type of urine have been specified.
Some of the common properties deserve attention which indicate
that during the period.of Charak the system of urine therapy was
considerable developed.
Common Properties of Urine : It is useful in rubbing the body, as
massage liquid along with restorative douche, as a laxative, as a
perspirative, and as an anti-poison. It is advised for poultice,
. formentation and local baths. Every type of urine increases digestion;
it is an anti-poison and a germicide. It is extremely useful for the
patients of anaemia. (Charak prescribes it emphatically in the. case
of jaundice.) The drinking of urine eliminates phlegm, checks gas
formation and lowers bile formation. Sushrut states that human urine
is an anti-poison.
The author of Ashtang Sangrah describes it (human urine) as salty
in taste; because it contains alkalies and salts, as a curer of itching
and eczema and an anti-poison.
Bhavamishra also considers it as an anti-poison. Its drinking has
the effect of a tonic. It eliminaes eczema and itching. It is salti'sh, as
it contains salts and minerals.
A reference of urine comes on Yoga-Ratnaker. It states that the
calamine should be soaked in human urine for 21 days and them

dried up in the sun. After that it should be mixed up with black
pepper. The medicine known as Laghu-Vasant-Malti could thus be
prepared. Thus, we see that the use of human urine in medicinal
preparation was in vogue in those days.
In short, Ayurveda has prescribed human urine abundantly and
stated it as an anit-poison. Here the word 'poison' inclueds all types
of unhealthy elements, i.e. toxins which are the products of
degeneration. Viruses are also inculed in it.
In spite of such recommnedation of wide use of human urine in
Ayurveda, it is surprising that we do not have any independent
treatise on urine therapy,.
There is a book in Gujarati entitled Akhut )ivan Dori
(lnexh~ustive Life Thread). It was published by Yugantar Karyalaya,
surat, m 1923 but is no longer available. Shri Chandulal Lalubhai
Govardhandas is its author. Shri Ratilal Tanna of Yugantar Karyalay
told me that the book contained a couple of pages on urine
treatment. I have not come across the book as yet. Shri Tanna also
told me that the author of the book used to drink auto-urine
regularly. This fact was also supported by Shri Natavarlal Malvi of
Gandiv Press. The said author lived a long life and continued
ur~ne-dri~king till his death. I am also told that it was drinking of
unne wh1ch bestowed on him such a long life. Shri Tanna also said
that Shri Chandulal had written the book by the inspiration of
Poliglott-a Norwegian hermit who knew many languages.
The _author of Siddha-bheshaj-mani-mala states the following on
the basis of his own experience which deserves attention:
11The application of urine on a wound or burn is still in practice.
A wound is readily healed if washed with urine.11
I would like to write a personal experience of urine. Once the
stump of a tree struck in the chest of my mare and there was a
deep wound. At that time, an experienced elderly person advised ·
me to collect the urine of all the family members and mix some
powder-ash in it It was to be sprinkled on the wound of the mare HUMAN URINE AND IMPORTANCE OF DIETING : 189
with a cloth tied at the end of stick. I did accordingly and the
wound was healed within a short time. I think it would have taken
months to cure that wound in a veterinary hospital.
In childhood we used to pass urine on wounds in order to heal
them. It hardly needs mention ti"lat such a wound never became
septic. In Europe also the practice of urination on a wound was
prewalent.
The Vaidyas pr~scribe rubbing of cow's urine for eczema and
itches. ~ubbing of cow's urine mixed with salt and dried ginger
removes eczema and itching. Human urine also is useful in skin
diseases.
The mere thought of drinking urine makes one to hesitate. But
this reluctance disappears once urine is taken somehow. The English
author rightly describes it as the •magic fluid.'
Dieting : A treatment, however, efficacious it may be, fails to
produce the desired result without proper diet control. The efficacy
of urine treatment has already been proved. Yet diet control is
necessary along with it. It means, a regularity in diet as wen as in
living habits according to seasanal changes is essential. All the
diseases are caused by the disorder of Vat (Gas), Pitta (Bile) and
Cough (Phlegm). Before breaking out in the form of a disease, they
are gradually accumulated. If accumulation is stopped and drained
out, the disease is checked. The phlegm is accumulated in autumn
and becomes acute in spring season. The best remedy for phlegm is
vomiting. The phlegm therefore will not cause any disease if it is
·drained out in autumn through vomiting. The diet in this season
should be free from fats. Bile is accumulated uring the rains and it
breaks out during winter. Care should be taken in monsoon to keep
away the bad effects of bile. As soon as the rains start, the excess of
bile should be purged by laxatives. Bile-increasing diet should be
avoided at all costs during rains. Diet should be sweet, juicy, liquid
and cool. Etables friend in oil, spiced and condimented food-stuffs
\ increase bile. Gases begin to accumulate during summer and breaks

out in monsoon. If enema is taken in the beginning of rains the
tr~u~le from Vat is eliminated. Sweet, sour, saltish and juicy' diet
elt_rmnates gas trouble, and is therefore preferable to stringent and
spiced food. In short, a life regulated by the laws of Ayurveda
keeps_ one h~al_thy and free from diseaes. Even if there is an attack of
any d1sease, 1t 1s extremely mild.
B~y-purifi~ation at.the Time of Seasonal Change : The
regulation of diet and daily life along with a dress according to
se~ are essential for health. The purification of body is not given
due Importance nowadays and its value is not understood as it
should be. The allopathic treatment is mainly suppressive. In this
treatment, the causes of disorders are not eliminated but are
suppresse? and thes: suppsessed ailments appear again in a form of
a new dls_ease. It IS, th~refore, advisable to mould the daily and
seasonal life ~s suggested in Ayurveda. The preventive cure is not
confined to diet only but includes living habits and good and
