48 hours) made it possible to establish that in the
guinea- pig's organism during this period the
Nampt protein was activated. This protein trig-
gered the synthesis of NAD+ in the cytoplasm,
which in turn determined the synthesis of the
enzymes coded by the  SIRT3 and SIRT4 genes.
These enzymes favorably influence mitochon-
drial function and energy metabolism in the cell,
i.e. they delay aging and prevent apoptosis.

Tissue renewal

animal limb regeneration, who developed a
method of recovering lost limbs, tails, i.e., in am-

cal regeneration, renewal of all cells, their molec-
ular and chemical makeup. Interestingly, the bi-
ochemical changes during fasting and reparative
regeneration are very similar. In both cases,
there are two phases: destruction and  recovery.
In both cases, the destruction phase is character-
ized by the prevalence of decomposition of pro-
tein and nucleic acids over their synthesis, shift
of pH to acidity, acidosis and more. The recov-
ery phase in both cases as well is characterized
by the prevalence of synthesis of nucleic acids
over their decomposition, and a return of pH to
its neutral state. From the teaching on regenera-
tion, we know that the amplification of the de-
struction phase leads to the amplification of the
recovery phase. Ther efore, with sufficient
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frfoundation, we can consider fasting a natural
stimulatory factor of physiological regeneration.
At the basis of fasting there is a biological pro-
cess, which leads to the renewal and rejuvena-
tion of the tissues of the whole body.”

 However, new cells grow especially intensively
during the recovery period. Similar renewal hap-
pens in other organs and tissues, which is why
fasting is an ‘universal doctor’. No surgeon can
remove specific affected tumor or ulcer cells,
while preserving healthy adjacent cells and not
compromising tissue integrity. This is how pre-
cisely hunger, the great physician, heals.

Everyone familiar with dry fasting or even with
just water  fasting sees numerous examples of
phys ical rejuvenation achieved during fasting.
Physical improvements are usually accompa-
nied by mental ones. Sometimes hearing is re-
stored in people who have been deaf for many
years. Eyesight becomes so acute that those who
have been wearing glasses for years, don’t need
them anymore (sight restoration in blind people
is extremely rare), the sense of smell and taste
perception become keener, in case of sensory
nerve paralysis, sensory perception gets re-
stored, a burst of energy may be observed, men-
tal capacity  increases, weight decreases, the
body’s functional activity becomes more intense,
eyes become clear and sparkling, complexion

characteristic of youth, are restored, facial wrin-
kles disappear, blood pressure decreases, heart
performance improves, the enlarged prostate
decreases in size, sexual rejuvenation takes place
— these processes, which are the evidence of re-
juvenation, may be observed by everybody who
has practiced fasting or is familiar with this
probl em. It is as if fasting creates conditions for
a rebirth, a revitalization of the organism. At that
time, all the cells in the body are cleansed, for-
eign substances (metaplasmatic materials) are
removed from the cell protoplasm, so that the
cells are rejuv enated and start to function more
effectively.
Some of these foreign materials are highly toxic
and accumulated long ago in the fatty cells and
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frthe connective tissue cells, figuratively called the
organism’s landfill, that’s why it’s necessary to
remove them from the circulation and metabolic
processes in the body. When the tissues get rid
of these materials, it increases the effectiveness
of the physiological mechanism. Along with the
renewal of the body due to fasting, a certain po-
tential is also created,  which ensures improved
body function after the fast is complete.
Wear and damage, repair and replenishment
are continuous and almost synchronous pro-
cesses in all living organisms. Something is cre-
ated, and something is destroyed. Both of these
processes a re called metabolism, the production
is called anabolism and the destruction – catab-
olism.  Catabolism prevails during periods of
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fractivity, anabolism – during periods of rest and
sleep.
Anabolism is the process of repairing the body,
when it gets a new burst of energy and prepares
for new activities. This process is dominant dur-
ing the period of active growth and it slows
down somewhat during aging.
It is established that fasting accelerates metab-
olism, and after the end of a fast the anabolic or
construc tive phase develops intensively. Thus,
one can say that a general cleansing of the body
renews the constructive processes of life. It is
true that under experimental conditions this im-
provement in life processes is brief. However, in
most cases this happens because the researchers
can’t manage to bring their patients back (on the
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frpatients’ demand) to anything but their usual
lifestyle after fasting.
A person’s age is the duration of their life. The
term ‘age’ denotes several different aspects of
life: level  of a person’s development (physiologi-
cal age), level of mental development (psycho-
logical age), etc. Any other term or expression
signifying nothing else but chronological age
brings vagueness and confusion of age with the
condition of the body or the ext ent of its growth
and development.
When we say that one person is old at 40, and
another is young at 70, we actually mean their
physical and mental state, and not their age. A
suggestion to use the expression “functional age”
when discussing an individual ’s state, rather
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frthan their date of birth, is based on this confu-
sion as well.
It is true that the date of birth tells us nothing
about the state of a given organism or about the
extent of its mental development. These factors
are only indirectly connected


 conventional medical circles. But its
simple truth points to a condition far too easily and naturally remedied for  the medicopharmaceutical cartel to want any part of it.
The correlation was documented as early as the 1920s:

In 1927 Dr. E. P. Joslin of the famous Joslin Diabetic Center in Boston suspecte d a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet might
contribute to the development of diabetes. 19
In 1936, Dr. I.M. Rabinowitch of Canada presented 1,000 case studies demonstrating it  to the Diabetic Association in
Boston. In his presentation, he proved that the main factor inhibiting th e metabolism of blood sugar in the presence of normal
insulin was too much fat in the blood. 20
In 1959, the Journal of the American Medical Association also documented this causal relationship between fat
consumption and diabetes. 21
A 1979 article in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition  states, “Medical research confirms that up to 50% of people
with Type 2 diabetes can eliminate diabetes risks and discontinue medica tion within three weeks by adopting a low-fat, plant
food diet and regular daily exercise.” 22
In 1998, Duke University Medical Center researchers reported the findin gs of a study demonstrating that Type 2 diabetes
can be completely reversed in mice by lowering dietary fat. The study sh owed that foods high in fat were responsible for the
onset of diabetes in the mice, whereas sugar had no effect at all on diab etes symptoms. The press release states, “Without the
fat, the diabetes does not occur, even in diabetes-prone mice. When the high -fat diet is stopped in mice that have been raised
on it, the diabetes disappears.” 23

Many other researchers have corroborated this evidence, not the least  of whom was Nathan Pritikin, whose work in the
1960s demonstrated that eighty percent of long-term diabetics put on a low-fa t diet could be taken off their medication entirely in
less than four weeks.

Fruit Is Not the Culprit
As I have stated repeatedly, consuming fruit does not cause blood-sugar probl ems, but overeating fat does. If you remove the fat
from the diet, in most cases blood-sugar levels return to normal, as does panc reatic functioning. Restricting fruit from the diet is not
the cure. In fact, the opposite is true.
Doctors tell us, “Y ou have diabetes. Y ou will have it for the rest of your  life. And oh, by the way—you can no longer eat
fruit.” This certainly does not sound like a “healing profession” to me.
I have worked with many diabetics over the past twenty-five years. Of c ourse, I guided each person individually, according to
his or her unique history. Though I use no generic treatment plans, I  do follow some general guidelines as I design each individual’s
program. In every instance, however, without exception, the use of a low-f at raw vegan diet predominated by sweet fruit has
resulted in stabilization of blood-sugar metabolism. Most of my clients we re able to completely eliminate their need for insulin and
other related drugs within a few weeks or less. No one was ever harmed, and I  have never seen any negative consequences
resulting from these dietary changes.

You Mean I Really Can Eat Fruit?
Sure, eating fruit raises our blood sugar, but so does eating other foods. Complex  carbohydrates (cooked or raw) top the list of
foods with the highest glycemic loads, meaning that they cause the l argest and most rapid spiking of blood-sugar levels.
A healthy person who eats whole fruits (as a single-ingredient “ monomeal” or in simple combination, as is recommended for all
meals) will find that the sugar in fruits passes easily into, and out  off the bloodstream in minutes, and causes no abnormalities in
blood-sugar levels.
It is odd that we expect that fruit will give us problems but that complex c arbohydrates and sugary desserts will not. It is
reminiscent of the person ordering a hot fudge sundae with nuts, nouga ts, and whipped cream, who then says, “but hold the cherry, I
am on a diet.”

Fruit and Triglycerides Some people think that triglycerides (a type of blood fat) increase as a res ult of the elevated levels of blood sugar that occur
when we eat fruit. This mistaken belief is what led Nathan Pritikin  to shun fruit (and therefore forced him to sanction the consumption
of complex carbohydrates, the only other substantial source of low-fat cal ories on a vegan diet).
However, by now you should understand that eating whole, raw fruit only res ults in sustained high blood sugar if you are also
eating high fat. That is, elevated triglycerides cannot arise from  a blood-sugar condition that does not exist. A high-fruit, low-fat diet
has only a positive effect on triglycerides. Unfortunately, until We stern scientists conduct studies of low-fat, high-fruit vegans, we
remain without “proof” of this simple fact, other than that demonstra ted by the health and elevated physical performance of the
people following such a diet.

Fruit and Cancer
More than a trillion dollars has been spent on cancer research duri ng the past three decades. Our longstanding “W ar on
Cancer” has brought us no closer to a cure for cancer today than we thou ght we were thirty years ago. Cancer is proving to be a
disease of lifestyle, environment, and culture, and not a condition cause d by a microbe, germ, or genetic factor. The “multifaceted
causation theory” is gaining more popular acceptance, yet rese archers continue to look for one specific cause.
Almost every cancer research organization worldwide is supportive of t he consumption of fruit. It borders on amazing to think
that a few relatively untrained individuals would come out suggesti ng that fruit is detrimental to cancer patients. What is more
amazing is that people would pay attention to such individuals and even fol low their suggestions by eliminating fruit from their diet.
Yet somehow a popular notion among the mainstream warns that fruit is ba d for anyone with cancer.
W orse yet, many misinformed raw food “experts”—theoretically the ch ampions of fruit and vegetable consumption—parrot
the mainstream directive to avoid fruit … a travesty that produces e maciated, unbalanced, binge-prone raw fooders who give the
movement a poor reputation.
Some allegedly scientific studies have concluded that uncontrollabl e and often unhealthy weight loss is associated with the raw
food diet and with the consumption of fruit. The findings of these small-sc ale studies have strengthened the mainstream notion that
fruit is bad for anyone with cancer concerns. Unfortunately, the rese archers who designed many of the studies possessed extremely
limited understanding of raw food nutrition, and they reached their concl usions after studying subjects who were also essentially
inexperienced with the raw food diet. Few if any of these studies have ex amined successful or long-term raw fooders.
The standard American diet tends to result in unwanted weight gain. Fruit consumption helps to bring weight toward a healthy
normal level (one that can appear unhealthfully low to those accustom ed to living among a population of mostly overweight and
obese individuals). Later in this book, I devote an entire chapter to the topic of  body weight, including a detailed discussion of the
relationship between a high-fruit diet and body weight.

Does Fruit Counteract Cancer Treatment Procedures?
The “success” of both chemotherapy and radiation treatments depen ds upon a lowering of immune function in the body. Medical
professionals know that people with suppressed immunity can tolerate tre atments that are otherwise completely unthinkable.
In pursuit of this goal, Western medicine sees fit to assault the bele aguered patient with immunosuppressive drugs. Healthy
immune function works against the doctors’ efforts. Without the suppre ssion of immune function (essentially the lowering of vitality),
patients would have such acutely severe negative reactions to th ese “treatments” as to make them intolerable.
Recognizing the immunity-strengthening qualities of fruit, I h ave heard of instances where doctors recommend against its
consumption for the very people who need it most. Naturally, the real soluti on is to work with patients to build vigorous health so
they never find themselves in the intractable predicament of choosi ng between their vitality and their life.
This is merely another example of the fragmented view of health. Whe n medical professionals have their blinders on, seeking
only to eradicate disease with no mind toward creating overall health i n their patients, they produce bizarre and deadly short-sighted
solutions.
The use of immunosuppressant drugs has been cited by some scientists as  an actual cause of our current epidemic of
immunodeficiency diseases. Unfortunately, the pharmaceutical in dustry today wields more power over public opinion than perhaps
ever before in history.

Does Fruit Acidify the Cancer Patient’s Body?
Cancer has been associated with an acidic condition in the body. No one has es tablished whether this acidity is a cause of the
cancer, a body-generated defensive “effect,” or simply an unrelat ed condition that accompanies the true cause(s) of cancer.
Many people mistakenly assume that the sugar in fruits, and esp ecially the acid in “acid fruits,” will acidify the body. The
chemistry of


 not tear or damage the anus byavoiding necessary lubrication. After insertion, grip the clamp with one hand andopen it. The flow rate can be controlled with this clamp. Keeping a hand on theclamp also prevents the nozzle from being expelled.
Water will begin flowing into the colon. Your goal is to empty the entire bag
into the colon before sensations of pressure or urgency to evacuate the waterforce you to remove the nozzle and head for the toilet. Relaxation of mind andbody helps achieve this. You are very unlikely to achieve a half-gallon fill up onthe first attempt. If painful pressure is experienced try closing the clamp for a
moment to allow the water to begin working its way around the obstacle. Or, next
time try hanging the bag lower, reducing its height above the body and thuslowering the water pressure. Or, try opening the clamp only partially. Or, trypanting hard, so as to make the abdomen move rapidly in and out, sort of shakingthe colon. This last technique is particularly good to get the water past a blockageof intestinal gas.
It is especially important for Americans, whose culture does not teach one to
be tolerant of discomfort, to keep in mind that pain is the body’s warning thatactual damage is being done to tissues. Enemas can do no damage and pose norisk except to that rare individual with weak spots in the colon’s wall fromcancers. When an enema is momentarily perceived unpleasantly, the correct namefor the experience is a sensation, not pain. You may have to work at increasingyour tolerance for unpleasant sensations or it will take you a long time to achievethe goal of totally filling the colon with water. Be brave! And relax. A wisephilosopher once said that it is a rough Universe in which only the tigers survive—and sometimes they have a hard time.
Eventually it will be time to remove the nozzle and evacuate the water. Either a
blockage (usually fecal matter, an air bubble, or a tight ‘U’ turn in the colon,usually at either the splenetic, or hepatic flexures located right below the rib cage)will prevent further inflow (undesirable) or else the bag will completely empty(good!) or the sensation of bursting will no longer be tolerable. Go sit on the toiletand wait until all the water has passed. Then refill the bag and repeat the process.Each time you fill the colon it will allow more water to enter more easily with lessunpleasantness. Fasters and cleansers should make at least three attempts at acomplete fill-up each time they do an enema session.
Water and juice fasters will find that after the first few enemas, it will become
very easy to inject the entire half-gallon of water. That is because there is little orno chime entering the colon. After a few days the entire colon will seem (this isincorrect) to be empty except when it is filled with water. This is the point to learn
an advanced self-administered enema technique. An average colon empty of new
food will usually hold about one gallon of water. That is average. A small colonmight only hold ¾ gallon, a large one might accept a gallon and a half, or evenmore. You’ll need to learn to simultaneously refill the bag while injecting water, soas to achieve a complete irrigation of the whole colon. There are several possiblemethods. You might try placing a pitcher or half-gallon mason jar of tepid waternext to the bag and after the bag has emptied the first time, stand up while holdingthe tube in the anus, refill the bag and then lie down again and continue filling. Youmight have an assistant do this for you. You might try hanging the bag from theshower head and direct a slow, continuous dribble of lukewarm water from theshower into the bag while you kneel or lie relaxed in the tub. This way the bag willnever empty and you stop filling only when you feel fullness and pressure all theway back to the beginning of the ascending colon. Of course, hanging from aslowly running shower head the bag will probably overflow and you will getsplashed and so will the bathroom floor when your wet body moves rapidly fromthe tub to the toilet. I’ve imagined making an enema bag from a two gallon plasticbucket with a small plastic hose barb glued into a hole drilled in the bottom orlower edge. If I were in the business of manufacturing enema bags I’d make themhold at least one gallon.
A word of caution to those folks who have a pattern of overdoing it, or tend to
think that more is better. This is not true when it comes to colon cleansing. Do notmake more than three attempts to fill and clean the colon with an enema bag.Usually the colon begins to protest and won’t accept any more fill-ups. Whenhaving colonics on a colonic machine it is a good idea to continue until the watercomes back reasonably clear for that session. It is not a good idea for a faster tohave colonics that last more than three-quarters of an hour to an hour maximum,or it will be too tiring. Even non-fasters find colonics tiring. After all, the colon isbasically a big muscle that has become very lazy on a low-fiber diet.
I’ve personally administered over five thousand colonics, taught several dozen
fasters to self-administer their own and stood by while they gave themselves one
until they were quite expert. In all that experience I’ve only seen one person havea seriously bad result. This was a suicidally depressed water faster that I(mistakenly) allowed to administer their own colonics with my machine. Thisperson not only took daily colonics, but allowed water to flow through their colonfor as long as two hours at a time. Perhaps they were trying to wash out theirmind? After several weeks of this extreme excess, the faster became highlyconfused and disoriented due to a severe electrolyte imbalance. They had to betaken off water fasting immediately and recovered their mental clarity in a fewdays. The loss of blood electrolytes happened because during colonics thereoccurs a sort of low-grade very slow reverse osmosis.
Curing With Enemas
It is not wise to continue regular colonics or enemas once a detoxification
program has been completed and you have returned to a maintenance diet. Thebody should be allowed its regular functioning.
But because enemas immediately lower the toxic load on the liver, I do
recommend people use them for prevention of an acute illness (you feel like youare coming down with something), and for the treatment of acute illnesses such asa cold. I also like to take one if I have been away traveling for extended periods,eating carelessly. But do not fall into a pattern of bingeing on bad food, and thentrying to get rid of it through colonics or laxative. This is bulimia, the eatingdisorder discussed earlier.
The Sheltonite capital “N” Natural capital “H” Hygienists do not recommend
any colon cleansing, ever!. They think that the colon will spontaneously cleanseitself on a long water fast, but my experience learned from monitoring hundreds offasters is that it doesn’t really. Herbert Shelton also considered colon cleansingenervating and therefore undesirable. Colon cleansing does use the faster’s energybut on the balance, colon cleansing saves more work on the part of anoverburdened liver than it uses up.

Diet and Nutrition
From The Hygienic Dictionary
Food.  [1] Life is a tragedy of nutrition. In food lies 99.99% of the causes of all diseases and imperfect
health of any kind. Prof. Arnold Ehret, Mucusless Diet Healing System.  [2] But elimination will never
heal perfectly just so long as you fail to discontinue the supply of inside waste caused by eating and“wrong” eating. You may clean and continue to clean indefinitely, but never with complete results upto a perfect cleanliness, as long as the intake of wrong or even too much right foods, is not stopped.Prof. Arnold Ehret, Mucusless Diet Healing System. [3] Cooked food favors bacterial, or organized,
ferment preponderance, because cooking kills the unorganized and organized ferments, and both areneeded to carry on the body’s digestion. Raw foods—fruits and vegetables—favor unorganizedferment digestion, because these foods carry vitamins, which are unorganized ferments—enzymes. Dr.John. H.

Recently, my younger (adult) daughter asked my advice choosing between a
root canal or having a bridge made. This led to a discussion of her eating habits ingeneral. Defending her currently less-than-optimum diet against my gentlecriticism, she threw me a tough riposte. “Why,” she asked, when I was raised soperfectly as a child, “when I ate only Organic food until I was ten and old enoughto make you send me to public school where I could eat those lousy schoollunches” (her unfeeling, heartless mother home-schooled her), “why even at thatyoung age, (before she spent her adolescent rebellion eating junk food) why atthat point did I still have a mouthful of cavities?” And she did. At age ten mydaughter needed about ten fillings.
This beautiful daughter of a practicing naturopath had received what, at the
time, I considered virtually perfect nutrition. She suckled hugely at her mother’s
abundant breast until age two. During this time her mother ate a natural foods diet.After weaning my daughter got only whole grains, a little fresh goat’s milk frommy goat, fruits and lots of Organic

Introduction
Silver (Ag) i s the num ber 47 at omic element, with an at omic weight of 108. It is one of t he heavy
metals, along wi th lead, m ercury, cadm ium, and gol d. But unlike other heavy  metals silver is non-t oxic to
animals, and i t has a l ong hi story as a m edicine dug (over 6000 y ears). Norm ally to say, silver is non-t oxic,
and i t can be an ant ibiotic under t he suitable dosage (Al t, et al, 2004).
All the living things are n aturally co lloidal. Acco rding to Thomas Grah am’ definition, colloidal had
the following charact erizations: Subst ances t hat diffused t hrough wat er at very low rate in comparison with
crystalline substances such as sodium  chloride, and the am orphous bodies were designated as colloids. The
crystallin e substances were easily d iffused and were d esignated as crystallo ids. W hen a plant or animal
consum es water, that water is then structured pri marily into highly organi zed oct agonal  shaped l iquid
crystals, very few of the water m olecules consum ed remain unorganized. Living things accom plish this by
using highly charged colloids, which form  the nucle i around which the highly organized crystalline lattice
form s. The vol ume of l iving bodi es is mostly water, and we are col loids (Ling, 1988).
Colloidal silver is a sm all amount of si lver molecules suspended i n water. Colloidal silver can be a natural
antibiotic and healing agent, on the skin or dri nk that prom otes heal ing or fi ght disease i n the body. Silver
has been used for t housands of y ears i n alternative healing pract ices and i n East ern m edicine. Colloidal
silver also has ant i-fungal  and ant i-viral propert ies, and pl ay funct ion on t he immune sy stem.
Colloidal silver was in com mon use until 1938. Peopl e use to put silver m oney in m ile and other
solutions t o keep t hem fresh at  room  temperature. B efore t o 1938, col loidal silver was used as important
antibiotic. A letter from  the Food and Drug Adm inistration (FDA) st ates: "These product s may cont inue t o
be marketed... as long as they are advert ised and l abeled for t he sam e use as i n 1938 and as l ong as t hey
are m anufact ured i n the ori ginal manner." (9/ 13/1991). Som e of the manufact uring methods used before
1938 are still used today (Natural Health  and Longevity Resource Center, 2006).
The argyria can be happened fol lowing the use of di etary suppl ements cont aining col loidal silver
protein. Gul branson et  al observed a pat ient who was using a silver-cont aining product  for col d and al lergy
prophy laxis. They  reviewed the past and present  medicinal roles of si lver and i nclude a di fferent ial
diagnosi s for argy ria. The hy perpi gmentation of ar gyria was usual ly perm anent, and i t followed a sun-
exposed distribution. This case report  highlighted the pot ential for t oxicity following the use of di etary
suppl ements and dem onstrates the importance of physician inquiry regardi ng alternative medicines.
Finally, they exam ine the limited rol e of the Food and Drug Adm inistration (FDA) i n regul ating al ternative
medicines m arketed as di etary suppl ements (Gul branson, 2000).

for a while. Then you crucify them.
You have crucified (in one way or another)
all of My teachers, not just One. And you
did so not because they were holier than
thou, but because you made them out to
be. My teachers have all come with the same
message. Not “I am holier than thou,” but
“You are as holy as am I.”
This is the message you have not been
able to hear; this is the tru th you have not
been able to accept. And that is why you
can never truly, purely, fall in love with
another. You have never truly, purely fallen
in love with your Self.
And so I tell you this: be now and forever
centered upon your Self. Look to see what
you are being, doing, and having in any
given moment, not what’s going on with
another.
It is not in the action of another, but in your
re-action, that your salvation will be  found.
I know better, but somehow this makes it
sound as though we should not mind what others  do to us in relationships. They can
do anything, and so long as we hold our
equilibrium, keep  our Self centered, and all
that good stuff, nothing can touch us. But
others do touch us. Their  actions do
sometimes hurt us. It is when the hurt
comes into relationships that I don’t know
what to do. It’s all very well to say “stand
aside from it; cause it to mean nothing,” but
that’s  easier said than done. I do get hurt
by the words and actions of others in
relationships.
The day will come wh en you will not. That
will be the day on which you realize —and
actualize —the true meaning of
relationships; the true reason for them.
It is because you have forgotten this that
you react the way you do. But that is  alright.
That is part of the growth proce ss. It is part of evolution. It is Soul Work you  are up to
in relationship, yet that is a grand
understanding, a grand remembering.  Until
you remember this —and remember then
also how to use relationship as a tool  in the
creation of Self —you must work at th e level
at which you are. The level of
understanding, the level of willingness, the
level of remembrance.
And so there are things you can do when
you react with pain and hurt to what
another is being, saying, or doing. The first
is to admit honestly to you rself and to
another exactly how you are feeling. This
many of you are afraid to do, because you
think it will make you “look bad.”
Somewhere, deep inside of you, you
realize that it  probably is ridiculous for you
to “feel that way.” It probably is small o f you. You are  “bigger than that.” But you can’t
help it. You still feel that way.
There is only one thing you can do. You
must honor your feeling. For honoring your
feelings means honoring your Self. And
you must love your neighbor as you love
yourself. H ow can you ever expect to
understand and honor the feelings of
another  if you cannot honor the feelings
within your Self?
The first question in any interactive process
with another is: now Who Am I, and  Who
Do I Want to Be, in relationship to that?
Often y ou do not remember Who You Are,
and do not know Who You Want to Be  until
you try out a few ways of being. That is why
honoring your truest feelings is so
important.  If your first feeling is a negative feeling,
simply having the feeling is frequently all
that is needed to step away from it. It is
when you have the anger, have the upset,
have  the disgust, have the rage, own the
feeling of wanting to “hurt back,” that you
can disown these first feelings as “not Who
You Want to Be.”
The Master is one who has li ved through
enough such experiences to know in
advance what her final choices are. She
does not need to “try out” anything. She’s
worn these clothes before and knows they
do not fit; they are not “her.” And since a
Master’s life is devoted to the constant
realization of Self as one knows oneself to
be, such ill -fitting feelings would never be
entertained.  That is why Masters are imperturbable in
the face of what others might call calamity.
A Master blesses calamity, for the Master
knows that from the seeds of disaster  (and
all experience) comes the growth of Self.
And the Master’s second life purpose  is
always growth. For once one has fully Self
realized, there is nothing left to do  except
be more of that.
It is at this stage that one moves from soul
work to God work, for this is what I am up
to!
I will assume for the purposes of this
discussion that you are still up to soul work.
You are still seeking to realize (make “real”)
Who You Truly Are. Life (I) will give you
bountiful opportunities to create that
(remember, life is not a process of
discovery,  life is a process of creation).  You can create Who You Are over and over
again. Indeed, you do —every day. As
things now stand, you do not always come
up with the same answer, however.  Given
an identical o uter experience, on day one
you may choose to be patient,  loving, and
kind in relationship to it. On day two you
may choose to be angry, ugly,  and sad.
The Master is one who always comes up
with the same answer —and that answer is
always the highest choice.
In this the Master is imminently predictable.
Conversely, the student is completely
unpredictable. One can tell how one is
doing on the road to mastery by simply
noticing how predictably one makes the
highest choice in responding or reacting to
any situat ion. Of course, this throws open the question,
what choice is highest?
That is a question around which have
revolved the philosophies and theologies of
man since the beginning of time. If the
question truly engages you, you are
already  on your way to maste ry. For it is still
true that most people continue to be
engaged  by another question altogether.
Not, what is the highest choice, but what is
the most  profitable? Or how can I lose the
least?
When life is lived from a standpoint of
damage control or optimu m advantage, the
true benefit of life is forfeited. The
opportunity is lost. The chance is missed.
For a  life lived thusly is a life lived from
fear—and that life speaks a lie about you.  For you are not fear, you are love. Love that
needs no protection, lo ve that cannot  be
lost. Yet you will never know this in your
experience if you continually answer the
second question and not the first. For only
a person who thinks there is something to
gain or to lose asks the second question.
And only a person who sees  life in a
different way; who sees Self as a higher
being; who understands that winning or
losing is not the test, but only loving or
failing to love —only that person asks the
first.
He who asks the second question says, “I
am my body.” She who asks the fi rst says,
“I am my soul.”
Yea, let all those who have ears to hear,
listen. For I tell you this: at the critical  juncture in all human relationships, there is
only one question:
What would love do now?
No other question is relevant, no other
question is me aningful, no other question
has any importance to your soul.
Now we come upon a very delicate point of
interpretation, for this principle of love -
sponsored action has been widely
misunderstood —and it is this
misunderstanding  which has led to the
resentment s and angers of life —which, in
turn, have caused so  many to stray from
the path.
For centuries you have been taught that
love-sponsored action arises out of the
choice to be, do, and have whatever
produces the highest good for another.  Yet I tell you this:  the highest choice is that
which produces the highest good for you.
As with all profound spiritual truth, this
statement opens itself to immediate
misinterpretation. The mystery clears a bit
the moment one decides what is the
highest “good” one could do for oneself.
And when the absolute highest choice is
made, the mystery dissolves, the circle
completes itself, and the highest good for
you becomes the highest good for another.
It may take lifetimes to understand this —
and even more lifetimes to implement —for
this truth revolves around an even greater
one: What you do for your Self, you do for
another. What you do for another, you do
for the Self.
This is because


erotic plaque and their exact loca -
tion inside the plaque are, however, not completely understood. The key role played by platelets in atherothrombosis has led to the search of effective and safe antiplatelet agents that can block platelet aggregation.
Platelet-mediated thrombosis is dependent on three steps: (1) activation, (2) aggre -
gation, and (3) adhesion, and each of these steps is a potential therapeutic target for the development of antiplatelet agents. Only platelet adhesion antagonists have not been approved for clinical use.
Antiplatelet treatment is a clinically crucial mainstay in acute and long-term
secondary thromboembolic prevention. Antiplatelet drugs that work on different receptor sites of the platelet have been found to be extremely effective in preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events and their recurrence, especially in high-risk patients and patients undergoing a percutaneous coronary intervention.
115,116
These antiplatelet drugs include platelet-activating inhibitors such as aspirin that
can irreversibly block cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and the formation of prostaglandin PGH
2, the precursor of the powerful platelet aggregant and vasoconstrictor, throm -
boxane A2.117 It has been reported that PGH2 and thromboxane A2 receptors are
found to be increased in patients with acute MI.118
The benefit of aspirin used alone or in combination with other antiplatelet drugs
has been extensively studied as a primary and secondary prevention of thrombotic events in patients at high risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular embolism.
119,120
The main problem with using aspirin to prevent the recurrence rate of ischemic
events, aside from its bleeding potential, is that it targets only the COX-1 pathway and therefore cannot take aim at other pivotal signaling pathways, which can also lead to coronary and cerebrovascular thrombosis.
A second group of platelet activation inhibitors currently approved for clinical
use are the thienopyridines such as ticlopidine, clopidogrel, and prasugrel, which target the blockade of the platelet ADP receptor P2Y
12.121 It is well known that P2Y12
receptor-mediated signaling processes play a central role in platelet activation and aggregation.
122 ADP is a potent platelet-aggregating agent that was originally shown
to induce myocardial ischemia and arrhythmias when injected experimentally into the coronary arteries of pigs.
12365 DMSO Clinical Pharmacology
Clopidogrel is currently the PY212 receptor antagonist of choice, although its
broad interindividual variability in patients resistant to this antiplatelet drug and its
delayed onset of action that can take 4–5 days before reaching its maximum anti -
platelet effect has resulted in a considerable number of adverse cardiovascular and ischemic events.
124 These adverse events in patients treated with clopidogrel have
reduced its clinical expectations as a safe antiplatelet agent.124,125
Despite this concern, the antagonism of the P2Y12 receptor with clopidogrel has
been shown to be clinically effective in the prevention of MI, ischemic stroke, and vascular death.
126 Nevertheless, there is hope that a more clinically effective and
safer P2Y12 antagonist will be found to prevent the incidence of ischemic and cardio -
vascular events.126
To increase its efficacy, clopidogrel has been combined with aspirin and found
more effective than aspirin alone in acute coronary syndrome and stroke.127–129 It is
also reasonable to speculate that dual antiplatelet therapy such as the combination of clopidogrel–aspirin is more effective than either monotherapy because it targets two
antiplatelet pathways, for example, ADP-induced platelet aggregation (clopidogrel) and thromboxane A
2 platelet aggregation (aspirin).
However, there is a rising concern that dual therapy using clopidogrel–aspirin
increases the risk of bleeding due to the powerful anti thrombotic effect of using two anticoagulants than using aspirin monotherapy.
130 More importantly, the possible
synergy of this dual therapy has been reported to be no better than aspirin alone with respect to lowering the rate of MI, stroke, or death from cardiovascular causes.
122,130
Other antiplatelet agents used clinically include thrombin receptor antagonists
such as the phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors dipyridamole and cilostazol.131
Since thrombin is the most potent platelet activator known, there is hope that
thrombin antagonists represent a promising novel strategy to reduce ischemic events without increasing the risk of bleeding or cardiovascular events, as other antiplatelet agents are prone to do.
132,133
In this sense, a monotherapy that could antagonize platelet aggregation induced
by more than one signaling pathway might offer improved efficacy and better safety than dual antiplatelet therapy because it would avoid the powerful anti thrombotic effect that is typically seen from two strong anti thrombotic agents that can lead to life-threatening bleeding complications as shown by clopidogrel–aspirin.
134
DMSO has been shown to possess several unique pharmacological activities that
could identify it as an antiplatelet monotherapeutic drug for use against CAD and stroke.
DMSO combines four crucial properties that have been consistently sought in
a drug to help prevent primary and secondary thromboembolic events: (1) platelet
deaggregation, (2) tissue factor antagonism, (3) free radical scavenging, and (4)
anti-inflammation.
These properties resemble those observed with aspirin, which is also an effective
anti-inflammatory and antiplatelet agent that blocks the production of prostaglandins
by blocking the COX-1 pathway and consequently the synthesis of thromboxane A
2.
As will be seen later, DMSO, unlike aspirin, also blocks tissue factor, a precursor of
the powerful platelet aggregator thrombin, and additionally shows consistent activity as a free radical scavenger.66 Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease
These activities by DMSO target two different signaling pathways known to
induce platelet aggregation, namely, the prostaglandin cascade and thrombin activa -
tion. It remains to be seen in future clinical trials of DMSO whether targeting two
different signaling pathways involved in platelet aggregation enhances its pharma -
cotherapeutic potential to prevent or reverse coronary thrombosis and stroke events.
This section will examine how these activities reported by DMSO could serve to
provide patients at risk or at recurrence of CAD and stroke with significant short- or long-term prevention.
PLATELET DEAGGREGATION AND FREE RADICAL SCAVENGING
An early report by White135 in 1971 reported the antiaggregatory property by DMSO
for platelets incubated in platelet-rich plasma. This report was followed by an extended study from the same author and his colleagues,
136 that showed how DMSO
might exert its antiaggregation activity on platelets. An antibiotic ionophore A23187 was used to produce rapid, irreversible concentration-dependent platelet aggregation in vitro.
136
It was observed that the elevation of the cyclic 3 ′,5′-adenosine monophosphate
(cAMP) level in platelets inhibited the response to all aggregating substances used in that study, including the A23187 ionophore. It was found that 10  mM DMSO added to the platelet-rich plasma was able to deaggregate these platelets ostensibly by increasing the level of cAMP in platelets following A23187-induced aggregation.
136
Although it was not entirely clear in 1974 how DMSO was able to influence plate -
let cAMP in vivo, one suggestion was that DMSO altered platelet membrane fluidity
to indirectly increase intracellular cAMP.137
Görög and Kovács138 reported soon after the studies by White that topically
applied DMSO was effective against platelet thrombi induced by ADP, a power -
ful platelet aggregator, when placed in the microcirculation of the hamster’s cheek pouch.
138 These investigators also observed that 10% DMSO topically applied to a
platelet-occluded venule preparation isolated from rat mesentery was able to inhibit thrombus formation in those venules when flow was experimentally restored.
138
One of the more curious reports showing the antiaggregatory activity of DMSO
was shown by Pace et al.139 in 1983. This team, working for a major pharmaceuti -
cal, was investigating potential agents for the treatment of ischemic cardiac disease on a canine model when they made the mistake of using DMSO as a diluent for the experimental platelet deaggregators. Like good scientists, they observed the strange finding that most of the experimental agents tested had almost identical excellent antiaggregatory properties when dissolved in DMSO, at which point, when they tested DMSO by itself, they realized to their dismay that when 1 g/mL of DMSO was injected into a partially stenosed left circumflex branch of the left main coro -
nary artery, the low coronary blood flow stemming from the stenosis was reversed.
139
These findings were later confirmed by Levett and his team,140 who infused 50%
DMSO intravenously using a similar canine model of myocardial ischemia obtained by the ligation of the left descending coronary artery. They reported that cardiac output increased significantly, and both systemic and cerebrovascular resistance decreased in the

When Jacob was a paid director of Research Industries, he was able to
purchase 50,000 shares of stock in the company at $6.50 a share. Today the
corporation is a publicly traded stock issued on NASDAQ, the over-the-counter
market of the National Association of Securities Dealers. Its 2,050,000 shares
traded at a high in 1980-81 of $15.50 a share. Plus, the doctor had the option to
purchase an additional 50,000 shares at $6.50 and another 50,000 shares at $9.50,
over the next four years. In 1982 the high price per share was $12.50. If he had
executed his options at the stock’s high 1982 price, the accrued value of all these
shares would have come to $1,875,000, for which Jacob paid $1,125,000—a clear
gain of $750,000.
Finally, when he ended his function as a physician-monitor for the DMSO
investigations, Jacob became, for a time, a consultant to the company at a salary of
$24,000 a year, which supplemented his University of Oregon salary.
It seemed not to bode well for Jacob’s financial future if the investment made
by Research Industries Corporation in DMSO research,
manufacturing, marketing,
and distribution proved invalid. The physician appeared to have too much invested
in RIC for him to let this happen so that an objective observer might see potential
conflicts of interest here for Stanley Jacob. Consequently, at the semi-annual
scientific conference held in Las Vegas, Nevada, November 19, 20, 21, 1982, by
the American College of Advancement in Medicine, I interviewed Dr. Jacob on
exactly these potential points of conflict. The following is what Stanley Jacob
said:
“When I first went to work for Research Industries Corporation in 1973 they
offered to give me a quarter of a million shares of the company’s stock. I refused
it. At that time the stock sold for fifty cents a share. I turned the stock down
because I never wanted anyone to accuse me of vested interests before DMSO
was approved by the FDA.
“After DMSO won approval, however, I did take a stock option and executed
it for 50,000 shares by borrowing money with other directors (I was myself a
director of Research Industries Corporation) cosigning the loan note. I also held an
option to acquire another 100,000 shares, but the stock price had risen markedly to
$6.50 a share. I borrowed $325,000 to purchase the 50,000 shares.“My idea of taking the stock at that point was to donate any profits I made to
DMSO research. Unfortunately, it got into that time of 20 percent prime rate so
that the legal expenses and interest expenses reduced the profit return sharply. I
received less than $9.00 per share at the sale of my block of stock when I made
the sale two years later. My resultant loss on the entire transaction was $2,000.
“Before the Kennedy hearings, in June 1980, I completely disassociated myself
from Research Industries Corporation—dropped my directorship, sold the stock,
and gave up all rights to any other of the stock options. The particulars of my
disassociations were not in the hearings because I actually made the financial
transition with the stock the same month as the Kennedy hearings, in July 1980.
That’s because there was a legal two-year holding period for the stock. I had
acquired the 50,000 shares in July 1978.”
RESOLVING THE SCANDAL OF DMSO
What was the outcome of these various revelations? Of consequences connected
with irregular practices among DMSO researchers and other principals involved,
attorney Buc said, “There are a series of actions that will have to be considered.
Any of the clinical investigators who
have violated our regulations will have to be
considered for potential disqualification as clinical investigators. That is a process
that is begun by the Bureau of Drugs. The clinical investigators are entitled to a
hearing, and it ultimately reaches the Commissioner.”
The FDA did judge whether Dr. Shirley and Dr. Stewart should be eliminated
as qualified FDA clinical investigators. They were eliminated.
“In addition, to the extent that the information that the Inspector General or any
of us turn up results in allegations of criminal activity,” continued Ms. Buc, “I
know that we will be considering criminal prosecution as well, for the
investigators, if there are allegations of criminality there, and, if it comes to that,
the people at the agency as well.”
The FDA had already interrogated and discharged Dr. Pani, and the Justice
Department brought criminal charges against him. Dr. Pani pleaded guilty to a
single misdemeanor count of improperly receiving payments. The Indian-born
researcher openly accepted loans of $38,500 from Dr. Jacob to assist in paying for
cancer treatments for his wife and also for donations to an Indian religious leader.
Dr. Pani’s wife subsequently died from cancer.
The supervisor of Dr. Jacob’s work at the University of Oregon Health
Sciences Center, and a friend of his for many years, William W. Krippaehne,M.D., described the DMSO champion as a compassionate humanitarian who has
given large sums of money to friends and strangers alike without question. Dr.
Krippaehne said that his friend has treated patients from all over the country, often
without charge, has given money to people in need, including members of the
university staff, without requiring repayment, and has put extra money back into
university research programs. “If he didn’t do charity work,” Dr. Krippaehne said,
“his net income would be significantly into six figures.” He also said that Dr.
Jacob, an associate professor of surgery and author of over 100 medical journal
articles, was a “catastrophe” when it came to business matters.
Dr. Krippaehne made these statements on the witness stand, as the Justice
Department also brought criminal charges against Dr. Jacob for three counts of
improper payments to an FDA official and one count of conspiracy. The trial for
the surgeon and the FDA official took place in May 1982 but ended in a mistrial.
The government bureaucrats continued their attack and pursued Dr. Jacob in a
second trial after Dr. Pani pleaded guilty to misdemeanor.
Dr. Jacob welcomed the initial trial, stating that it would give him a chance to
vindicate the use of DMSO. At the second trial not only was he acquitted of all
the charges, but the Justice Department actually dropped the charges on the fifth
day of the trial, held October 29, 1982. Dr. Jacob was cleared completely and
received a semblance of an apology from the government. The grand jury
indictment was totally dismissed.
In our interview, Dr. Jacob explained what happened: “Dr. K.C. Pani is a
friend of mine. His wife was my patient. I got to know him well. He had
horrendous medical bills. I loaned him money by personal check which Dr. Pani
returned by personal check. And this exchange of checks was the basis of the
indictment for conspiracy and giving an illegal gratuity to a government official.
“I learned a lot from this experience. For instance, I was under the erroneous
impression that a Grand Jury of the United States hands down an indictment only
after it has sifted through all the evidence and has weighed it carefully. That isn’t
true at all. Most of the time the United States Grand Jury merely does what the
United States attorney tells them to do. This is what happened in my case. The
result is that the United States taxpayer has invested one to two million dollars in
investigating this case, sending inspectors and investigators across the country
several times, preparing for the trial, conducting the trial, and finally dropping the
charges to vindicate me and DMSO. Still, the prosecutors seemed to be
aboveboard. I developed respect for both United States attorneys. I had the feeling
that they were going through the motions of prosecution but that they almost wishthey hadn’t gotten involved in the case. Their hearts weren’t in it.
“The judge had strong feelings that the case should be dismissed and he
relayed his feelings to the Justice Department. So, my attorneys and the
prosecutors worked out an arrangement where we mutually read statements in
open court that said in essence, I understand where people could interpret that our
exchange of checks was a conflict of interest, and I’m sorry such an interpretation
was made.’ The federal attorneys in turn stated, ‘We are dropping all charges
against Dr. Jacob, and we wish to take this opportunity to commend him for his
good services to the community.’”
Additionally, Dr. Jacob admitted that it had been “wrong” and “inappropriate”
for him to make payments to an FDA scientist even though the payments in no way
involved a conspiracy to clear DMSO and win its approval for other uses. The
government, furthermore, excused its own action by saying that its sole purpose
was to simply
“ensure that the integrity of the regulatory process is upheld.” In
effect, Assistant United States Attorney Richard E. Dunne III said that the Justice
Department wasn’t after Dr. Jacob as a profiteer because of his early financial
connection with Research Industries Corporation, the producer of Rimso-50, but
the


Also in the period between fasting in your diet should
dominate the following products: cereals, cooked from whole grains
on the water with vegetable oils, raw and steamed vegetables, beans
and mushrooms, nuts and fruits in their region, honey, fish, marine species;
spices herbs and spices.
If you can not live without meat, then cut his consumption to a minimum,
preferring lean boiled varieties: chicken, turkey,
Rabbit, veal. Do not forget about dairy products and fresh
juices. Fasting is best done not at the weekend, at least
day, two at the weekend can come visit, etc.
I try to tell you about dry fasting for up to five
days longer in the home is not recommended.
The most ideal to accompany him on such schemes:
Scheme 1 "SFG short" is recommended for advanced
and confident.
1 day hunger - 2 days of food.
2 days starvation - 3 days of food.
307
3073 days starvation - 4 days food.
4 days hunger - 5 days of food.
5 days of hunger - the output of the SG.
Scheme 2 "SFG sparing"
Figure 2 is recommended for people with very uncertain and
serious pathology.
First period: 1 day hunger - 1 week meal.
Second period: 2 days starvation - 1 week meal.
Third period: 3 days starvation - 1 week meal.
The fourth period: 4 day hunger - 1 week meal.
Fifth period: 5 day hunger - the output of the SG.
This pendulum cycle of fasting allows
each starvation, more and more to improve backup
body's defenses. Due to which there is a strengthening effect
in such a fractious starvation? An additional advantage
this method is that after the first phase of the cleaning we gave
opportunity to make a cage cleaning, restore the functionality
and memory capacity, the energy potential of the cell, and then the second
for a period of fasting, we give you the opportunity to accomplish the process
- Clean, refined missed moments. It turns out a kind of
inclusion of the principle supercompensation after clearing starvation.
Trimmed all that was to some extent lost. It turns out
that the body every time suitable to the new positive stress
with enhanced "combat readiness". In this method, one fasting
as it is layered on another, and the therapeutic effect is enhanced. I
really like this technique, she and healing, and rejuvenation effects
very pronounced, and transferred a lot easier, and most importantly -
There are practically no complications.
USUALLY NO WIRES Th SFG
- Prior to the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 - day dry hunger to do
enemas and laxatives can not take any, since the absorption
toxins from the digestive tract is not due to lack of water.
Preferably, before the dry fasting the whole day
sit on milk products (yogurt, Bifidok, ryazhenka
or, ideally, serum Bolotov).
-Recommendation to avoid full contact with the water for those
who wants to get the maximum therapeutic effect on ongoing
events, and this is not some sort of stringent requirement. If you
Still wet hands or exposed to rain, do not worry
you are not going to happen. I hope that every house there is a pair
medical or household rubber gloves, using
you will be able to solve all their household chores.
- Begin fasting should gradually according to the scheme. If you're not bad
moved 1, 2, 3, 4-day starvation, it can be done, and five days.
More than 5 - the day at home is not recommended.
It is advisable if you spend more than 2 - the day of fasting to
308
308it coincided with the weekend. Personally, I spent at home
seven days, of course, I started gradually.
- Most importantly for the dry fasting - to believe in their
huge hidden reserves in the great wisdom of the organism
and nothing to fear.
- During the fasting can sharpen all of your
disease, this fear is not necessary - any natural treatment is
through the aggravation, the more hunger you can always cancel without
damage to health.
- Under no circumstances should extend advance
scheduled date of SG in the process of fasting itself, as it
corresponds to the pre-programmed psychological state.
For example, if you set up a two-day fasting, then
unacceptable to move to three-day fasting, even at very
well-being. Conversely, if you're not tolerate hunger,
you can always go ahead of him, observing the rules of strict
Release of LFG.
- For the first time starting SG is allowed only with a one-day
starvation, moving gradually to 2 -, 3 -, 4 - and 5 - day starvation
in accordance with the cascade schemes SG.
- At the time of the SG can not use any
medicines, do not remove the pain, suffer. If the pain is unbearable,
you can get ahead of the SG, observing strict rules
exit.
RECOMMEND TION FOR U SG
- To begin a few days (weeks) keep a psychological
preparation for the famine. Read on, to convince, say to yourself:
time, enough already! Think about and set a convenient day of the week. After
that nothing and no one listen. No one: people who can not
cope with them, do not want to have a number of strong personality and will be
against. Never mind: the media with their astrology and lunar phases (I
checked) just knock your rhythm. Do not offer to starve together
anyone (especially close). This matter is strictly personal. You
himself has become a pity "tormenting" a relative, and you fail.
At work, do not notice, and at home to warn you not to swear
and did not offer food. Try to hide from the eyes of food and fluid
and not think about them, it is desirable to SG at the dacha, on nature,
in seclusion.
- During the famine, as in quitting smoking, "patients" free of any
do not discuss with anyone: neither "for" or "against". If, however, broke down
and began to have - in any case do not scold yourself, do not fasten
guilt complex. Anyway you - well, started working on them!
After the failure or breakdown of starving again begin only after
week. the appointed day, do not drive horses - for the serious business
be taken, comrades! The body would meet with the forces, again, operate
over the will.

309- What are you waiting for during the famine? Firstly, the struggle with himself.
You will not feel the pangs of hunger of his body: for him
one day - is nonsense. You'll find a reason to eat and drink from
self-pity: I will start the next time, now so much work. More
catch up, in front of a lifetime. It is necessary to finish his soup. When ill,
then I'll start. and hundreds of other arguments will tear your brain.
Say: "No, today and only today I am - a hero!" When will the
wave of weakness, congratulate yourself that it broke. Live normal
life, no jerks no laziness, no sports.
- Breathe just a nose. Camel, who is a champion of
dry fasting, breathing only a nose. How dangerous starvation without
Water for those who breathe mouth: at this time there is a process of accelerated
dehydration due to the constant drying mouth
cavity!
And yet there are many reasons why you can not use starvation
without water at the mouth breathing. Learn to breathe nose, and then
the use of fasting without water is very effective.
- Try not to talk, the best a vow of silence, ie,
carefully to save energy, he loses any two hours of their
presentations to three liters of fluid, keep in mind about this. Strictly
keep your mouth shut. It is advisable to refrain from rinsing
mouth and teeth cleaning.
- Be sure to walk on the nature, noticed that if hunger
whole day to spend at home, then worse health, increased
weakness and coldness. In contrast, after walking or working in the open
air, although it can be felt physical fatigue, mood
and feeling generally good, man as cheerful. But, as I
always tell my patients, have a walk, becoming like cats.
Movements should be soft, smooth, quiet. Not
make sharp rises, eliminate unnecessary physical effort,
efforts.
- Carrying out short-term SG can enjoy the cool
shower (keeping your mouth shut), but if you feel normal, then
it can not do, the therapeutic effect will be stronger.
- Shave during the famine, even an electric razor, better not.
When the SG is a redistribution of resources on life support.
All, without which the body can do, provided a minimum.
Beard begins to grow more slowly, and nails too.
- It is necessary to find things to distract, to look
funny movies. I like to watch movies about nature,
Women usually love to knit, you can read interesting books
etc. The main thing - not to think about water, we must continually switch.
I have a very good distraction and helps to treat spinal
simple and effective exercise. Must lie on the floor, bend
knees and soles on the floor, lift your back, put a
plastic bottles of half liter, filled with warm
water, and slowly, through the pain, to roll back. Bottle

Hemp Agrimony
Description Perennial growing to a height of
5 ft (1.5 m). Has a red stem, downy leaves, and
dense bunches of pink to mauve florets.
Habitat & Cultivation Native to Europe,
hemp agrimony is now also found in western Asia and North Africa. It grows in damp woods, ditches, marshes, and in open areas, and is gathered when in flower in summer.
Parts Used Aerial parts, root.
Constituents Hemp agrimony contains a volatile
oil (with alpha-terpinene, p-cymene, thymol and
an azulene), sesquiterpene lactones (especially eupatoriopicrin), flavonoids, pyrrolizidine alkaloids, and polysaccharides. P-cymene is antiviral, while eupatoriopicrin has anti-cancer properties and inhibits cellular growth. The polysaccharides stimulate the immune system. In isolation, the pyrrolizidine alkaloids are toxic to the liver.

North America, boneset is found in meadows  and marshland. It is gathered when in flower  in summer.
Parts Used Aerial parts.
Constituents Boneset contains sesquiterpene
lactones (including eupafolin), polysaccharides, flavonoids, diterpenes, sterols, and volatile oil. The sesquiterpene lactones and polysaccharides are significant immunostimulants.
History & Folklore Native American people
used boneset to make an infusion for treating  colds, fever, and arthritic and rheumatic pain. European settlers learned of the plant’s benefits, and by the 18th and 19th centuries it was regarded as a virtual cure-all. Boneset’s common name derives from its ability to treat “break-bone fever.” Commonly used to treat malaria, constituents within boneset are now known to have antiprotozoal activity.
Medicinal Actions & Uses A hot infusion
of boneset will bring relief to symptoms of the common cold. The plant stimulates resistance to viral and bacterial infections, and reduces fever by encouraging sweating. Boneset also loosens phlegm and promotes its removal through coughing, and it has a tonic and laxative effect. It has been taken for rheumatic illness, skin conditions, and worms.

remedy for genitourinary
conditions. The root was
listed in the Pharmacopoeia
of the United States  from
1820 to 1842.
Medicinal Actions & Uses As its common
name indicates, gravel root is a valuable herb for
urinary tract problems. It helps to prevent the
formation of kidney and bladder stones and may
diminish existing stones. Gravel root is also useful
for cystitis, urethritis, prostate enlargement (and
other forms of obstruction), and for rheumatism
and gout. The root is thought to help the latter
two conditions by increasing the removal of waste
by the kidneys.

 QCaution T ake pill-bearing spurge only under


 question the assumption that the condition of the body is irrevocably related to the number of
years we have lived. We should not find it difficult to understand that we “age” in time, but time is
not the cause of the “aging” process. Think of the stone worn away by water. It changes in time, but
time does not wear it away. The water wears it away. The process of wearing away the stone
takes time—time is not the wearing process.
Two stones subjected to the same amount of water-wearing, will wear away at different rates,
depending on their respective hardness and density. For this same reason, two men, under the same
amount of impairing influences will “age at different rates,” depending on the resistance each
offers to the causes of impairment.
A stone will wear faster or slower depending on the amount of water that flows over it; wearing
slowly if only a small amount of water washes its surface, wearing faster if much water flows over
it. In the same way, a man will “age” slowly or rapidly, depending on the amount of impairing
influence to which he is subjected.
Carrying our comparison a bit further: if we can conceive of a self-repairing rock being worn
away and then having the water cease flowing over it, we’d see the rock repair itself and restore
much of its former substance, and would witness a process similar to that which takes place in the
human organism (which is self-repairing) when the causes of “aging” are removed.
The body is capable of tearing down some of its damaged structures and replacing these with
new structures; it is capable of renewing its cells, of casting off its accumulated burdens and of
65repairing much of its damages. Unlike the lifeless rock, the living organism is capable of taking an
active hand in its affairs and doing something constructive.
Man is constituted for longer and better life than he now enjoys. He should live considerably
many more years than he now does. And he should enjoy the possession of full health and vigor.
He should not fall apart at sixty or earlier. The fact is that, barring death by accident or killing, as
in war, human beings die of disease. If we live in such a manner as to prevent the evolution of
disease, we not only may live much longer than is now thought possible, but we may live in full
possession of all our mental and physical powers.
Aging has been defined as “the accumulation of body changes that increase one’s chances of
dying with the passage of time.” This simply means that aging is the slow accumulation of
pathological (diseased) changes in the organs and tissues of the body. It signifies the accumulation
of damages to the structures of the body and a slow impairment of the functions of life. Old age is
simply one more chronic disease. This is the reason we may
age
 early or late, and why some men
are younger at seventy than others are at forty.
Age takes place in time but is not caused by time. It is not important, therefore, that means be
found of determining accurately one’s physiological age. What is important is that we find and
recognize the causes of the aging process. Remove the cause of aging; and the physiological age
takes care of itself.
It is claimed that no one knows precisely what the body changes that constitute aging consist of,
or what exactly the changes might be. The experiments of the noted French scientist. Dr. Alexis
Carrell, author of
Man, the Unknown,
 in keeping fragments of a chicken heart alive for many
years, revealed that they aged when not kept free of their own cell waste. In other words, they aged
as a consequence of the accumulation, in the culture medium in which they were kept, of their own
metabolic waste.
If these wastes were regularly washed away, so that the cells were not poisoned by them, the
chicken heart did not age. We have indications again that aging is the result of chronic toxic
saturation. This important finding has received all too little attention, perhaps because there was
no way to exploit it.
Carrell’s experiments and many more like them have led to the conclusion by some authorities
that the cells are potentially
immortal.
 Normally they continue to divide and redivide, but they do
not die. From this viewpoint death would seem to be abnormal. What we observe, however, under
all ordinary conditions of life, is that the cells do age and they do die in great numbers. To go on
living indefinitely, all conditions must be favorable.
If the cells are potentially ageless, as is now believed by scientists, and the complex body ages,
then it is evident that one of two things is true. Either the functional specialization of cell groups—
the organs of the body—is inadequate, or there is some lack of coordination of the cell groups in
the body. Perhaps there may be both. If one or both of the propositions is true, the question
becomes: is the inadequacy of specialization or the inadequacy of coordination a primary state of
life or is it a result of ascertainable and removable causes? If it is primary, we cannot hope to
prevent, for more than a brief span, the aging process, which seems to set in, in most cases, rather
early in life. If it is due to avoidable and removable causes, as seems likely, we should be able to
do much to prevent aging.
At least in many of the lower forms of life numerous experiments have
demonstrated that not
only can the aging process be indefinitely held off, but also that it can be reversed and youthfulness
restored.
66For more than fifteen years. Professor C. M. Child of the University of Chicago did research on
aging in animals. His results revealed that periodic fasting is generally conducive to
rejuvenescence.
In certain species of insects he found that, with abundant food, insects pass through their whole
life-history in three to four weeks, but when the food is greatly reduced or the insects are forced to
fast, they may continue active and young for at least three years. His conclusion was that “partial
starvation (fasting) inhibits senescence. The starveling is brought back from an advanced age to the
beginning of postembryonic life; it is almost reborn.”
Child pointed out that in the organic world generally, rejuvenescence is but the regular or
ordinary process of cell renewal that is in continuous operation throughout the life of every
organism.
The failure to maintain youthfulness is due to causes that prevent the ideal operation of the
regular renewal process. Any removal of these hindering causes, at any age, results in a movement
in the direction of renewed youthfulness.
Professor Child’s experiments led Anton J. Carlson, Professor of Physiology in the same
university, to experiment for years with both fasting and feeding, in an effort to determine how
much rejuvenation could be brought about in man by the same means that result in rejuvenation of
lower forms of life. He was convinced that he found evidence of the rejuvenating effects of fasting
in man. Unfortunately his experiments with human subjects were all too few and most of them were
performed on more or less youthful subjects.
Frederick Hoelzel, who did much of the fasting that Professor Carlson observed, thinks that the
possibilities of rejuvenescence progressively decrease as age advances and that little rejuvenation
may be expected after the age of thirty-five. On this I am compelled to take issue with him. I think
that his observations in this field have been too narrowly limited to justify setting any such
arbitrary limit to the possibilities of human rejuvenation. Thirty-five is not a fixed landmark in
human life. It is not an age in which irreversible changes have been made in human tissues.
It must be recognized that there exist sharply defined limits to the possibilities of human
rejuvenation. There are irreversible changes in the tissues of man’s body and trying to undo them is
like attempting to grow a new leg after one has been lost. In many of the lower forms of animal
life, some of them very complex animals, the ability to grow new members or internal organs
(even new heads, brains and eyes) is possible, and the possibilities of rejuvenation are much
greater in such organisms than in the higher forms. But a greater degree of rejuvenation is possible
in man than we have heretofore thought.
We may accept as true the claim that the greater the amount and extent of pathological changes
that have taken place in the body of man, the less are his possibilities of rejuvenation. We may
agree with Hoelzel that the older one grows, the less are his possibilities of renewing
youthfulness. Yet some of the most remarkable examples of rejuvenation I have witnessed have
been in men and women past sixty. Without the least desire to discount the value of the work done
by laboratory experimenters with fasting, I think that I am justified in saying that these observations
have been too narrowly restricted to enable the laboratory workers to give us the final word.
Yet I do not think the greatest possibilities of the fast are in the rejuvenation of old men and
women. Its possibility for reversing the process of senescence in younger men and women so that
the aging process is slowed down, represents an equally important role. If we can employ fasting
to prevent damaging changes in vital organs, by periodically freeing the body of its toxic load, and
by giving the organs of life much needed rest, we should be able to accomplish far more lasting
67good in preventing aging than in seeking rejuvenation of the aged.
Some investigators stress the evanescent character of the rejuvenating effects of fasting and have
taken the position

Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride MD,
MMedSci(neurology), MMedSci(nutrition) Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride set up The Cambridge
Nutrition Clinic in 1998. As a parent of a child
diagnosed with learning disabilities, she was acutely
aware of the difficulties facing other parents like her, and she
has devoted much of her time to helping these families. She
realised that nutrition played a critical role in helping
children and adults to overcome their disabilities, and has
pioneered the use of probiotics in this field.
Her willingness to share her knowledge has resulted in her
contributing to many publications, as well as presenting at
numerous seminars and conferences on the subjects of learning disabilities and
digestive disorders. This book captures her experience and knowledge, incorporating
her most recent work.
She believes that the link between learning disabilities, the food and drink that we
take, and the condition of our digestive system is absolute, and the results of her work
have supported her position on this subject. In her clinic, parents discuss all aspects
of their child's condition, confident in the knowledge that they are not only talking to
a professional but to a parent who has lived their experience. Her deep
understanding of the challenges they face, puts her advice in a class of it's own.
Natasha Campbell-McBride holds a Degree in Medicine and Postgraduate Degrees in
both Neurology and Human Nutrition. In her clinic in Cambridge she specialises in
Nutrition for Children and Adults with Behavioural and learning Disabilities, and
Adults with Digestive and Immune System Disorders
Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride is to be congratulated on putting
together such a well-researched and provocative book. I warmly
recommend it.

Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride is to be congratulated on putting together
such a well-researched and provocative book. From the over-use of anti
biotics to the promotion of breast-feeding and healthier diets,
Dr. Campbell-McBride writes with the authority of a practising doctor and
with the warmth and feeling of a mother of a child with autism. Every
parent with a child who has autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity dis
order, dyslexia or dyspraxia will find much to value in this book, which in
turn delights and shocks the reader. I warmly recommend it.
