ade.We will learn how to transform something that the
world considers to be awful, such as pain, and how to
derive benefit from it and have our life prosper as a
result of the knowledge gained from the one specific
experience. In order to do this, we need to know some
thing about the nature of consciousness itself and how
that will help us in our lives in general. What is the nature of human experience? Where is
experience experienced? We will again look at the rela
tionship between body, mind, and spirit. Everybody
uses that phrase,"body,mind, and spirit,"butwhat does
it mean in a practical way? I became a scientist with a
skeptical, pragmatic mind. I am very impressed by
what works and am very unimpressed by the hypothet
ical and the theoretical. I am very interested in what
brings about results and what one can replicate
through one's personal experience. As said previously, the first thing to realize is that
the body has no capacity to experience itself.This is a 301 PAIN AND SUFFERING
surprising thought because we tWnk we are experienc
ing our body-we all tWnk we are our body. How does
the body get experienced? For example, the arm has no
way of experiencing its armness; the leg cannot expe
rience its being a leg. These parts are experienced
through sensations, as is the whole body. We do not
experience the body but experience the sensations of
the body. And where are these sensations of the body
experienced? They are experienced in the mind. Without a mind, we cannot experience what is going
on in the body, and we cannot experience the sensa
tions that tell us about the body.The experience ofthe
body is not occurring in the body; it is occurring in the
mind.That is the flfSt surprising thought to get used to. The next surprising thought is that the mind can
not experience itself.A thought cannot experience its
thoughtness; a feeling cannot experience its feeling
ness; and a memory cannot experience its own memo
ryness. The mind has to be in something greater than
itself in order to know what is going on in mind.And
what is that? One knows what is going on in mind
because of consciousness itself. The content of mind, and what is going on in
mind, is known through consciousness; therefore, all
experience is occurring in consciousness. One's
awareness of what is happening is occurring within
one's consciousness. For example, if a part of the
brain is cut, then that part of the mind is no longer
operative in the physical domain. If the area cut out is
the sensory region, then the opposite side of the body
is no longer experienced. Therefore, the body is expe
rienced by the mind via the brain. 302 HEALING AND RECOVERY
We know that if consciousness is eliminated, there
is no awareness of what is going on in the mind.That
is the purpose of anesthesia. Interestingly, conscious
ness itself is experienced from an even greater
domain.As this progresses, one realizes that the lesser
is always experienced from that which is the greater. The greater encompasses and allows the experience
of the lesser. Consciousness is then experienced in
the greatest domain, which is the one without limit
that includes awareness. It is the nature of awareness
being itself to know what is going on in conscious
ness. It is the nature of consciousness to know what
is going on in mind. It is the nature of mind to know
what is going on with sensations, and it is the nature
ofsensations to know what is going on with the body. It is important to know that all ordinary experience
is going on in consciousness alone.Where is that con
sciousness when we experience something? Where do
we experience it? Is there a place where consciousness
is located? Does it have a specific space or location? It is important to know that consciousness has no
particular space, no physical area, and no limitation. The common fantasy is "I experience things in my
head." Actually, we do not experience them in the
head.Where do we experience a thought? We experi
ence a thought nowhere; there is no specific location
or space in which we experience a thought. The
nature of consciousness is that it has no particular
form; it is without form. Its content is with form, but
the field of consciousness itself is like space, having
no particular locality. This will be important later
when we discuss one of the techniques for handling 303 PAIN AND SUFFERING
pain, which can be handled both locally and generally. There are several ways to handle pain and the spe
cific sensation and experience of it.Where we are as
a being with the experience of pain, and how we
evolve in our own consciousness, will determine
whether the pain involves suffering or not.The pain is
one thing, and the suffering is another. The first thing to eliminate is the belief system
that pain equals suffering because that sets up a
whole series of programs that need to be undone. Pain is one thing, and it is quite possible to be with
pain yet be totally indifferent to it. It is possible for
pain to exist in the body and yet have relatively little
or no experience of the pain or suffering with it at all
because of an analgesic or altered (e.g., hypnotic)
state of mind. It is as though the pain is still present,
but one is not connected with the pain. The pain
exists on its own but without the person being at the
effect of it. In other words, it is not necessary to be
the victim of the pain. One can be with the pain in
such a way that does not involve suffering or any kind
of agony.To realize that this is possible is the first step
that leads one out ofit. It is the letting go of the belief
that pain and suffering are the same thing. An example is the belief that going to the dentist is
necessarily painful.At one time in my life, many years
ago, going to the dentist was agonizing. I remember
that I always put off going because my pain threshold
was so low. I literally had to have analgesia to get my
teeth cleaned; I was pain prone. What is it that sets our pain threshold or our readi
ness to experience pain?As the years went by, I learned 304 HEALING AND RECOVERY
various spiritual and consciousness techniques and
began to apply them to pain. The experience of pain
began to diminish, and much to my surprise, I could go
to the dentist and experience only moderate pain
instead of agony. Gradually the pain became mild and
then only just a discomfort. When I go to the dentist
now, I don't even notice any discomfort. It seems as
though I am in the chair for only a minute, and then I
am out and say, "Are you done already? I can hardly
believe you are done already!" At the end of this chapter we will discuss some
self-hypnosis techniques, a kind of autosuggestion,
that will reinforce what we have learned, such as how
to utilize a somewhat altered state of consciousness
on our behalf, how to come from a suggestible space
to learn more quickly, how to relieve pain, and how it
is a medium for quickly educating ourself. When you
next go to the dentist, you may not have much time to
learn these techniques, so we share some ways to
speed them up. The first thing to address is the handling of acute
pain. A person is walking along and suddenly sprains
an ankle, resulting in agonizing pain; or they break
their leg or suddenly have a gallbladder attack, renal
colic, or a coronary; or they just have an ordinary acci
dent, such as barking the shin, or hitting the head on
something, and there is that stunning moment of pain. How does one handle that acute situation? We will
reveal a technique to use in dealing with a variety of ill
nesses as well as in healing both acute and chronic pain. There is a shock when we suddenly ftnd ourselffac
ing an accident, such as scalding ourselfby pouring hot 305 PAIN AND SUFFERING
water on our hand, or burning ourself on the stove.The
technique that we will get a lot of mileage from is the
whole concept of letting go of resistance. We want to
look at the benefit of letting go and compare it with
what the mind usually does.The mind normally resists
an experience out of the expectation of suffering. It
already has a program set up: "Pain means suffering,
and I'm going to resist it." The fantasy is that if we
resist it, we will eliminate it. The first thing we have to know is that the relief
of pain and suffering comes rapidly by going 180
degrees in the opposite direction-by capitulating
and letting go of resisting the pain. How does this
work in everyday life? We will provide some clinical·
examples of rapid healing resulting from techniques
that are completely different from those ordinarily
used by the mind in an average situation. To let go ofresistance means to completely be with
the event and totally surrender to the sensation. It
means to ignore the thoughts that we may be having
about it. Instead of thinking about it, we go right into
the direct experience ofthe sensation and


 15 minutes. Strain, cool and store it in a stoppered bottle for a maximum of three days. Increase amounts in the
above proportion, as required. Chamomile is one of the herbs most used in the Gerson Therapy,
both as an enema component and as an herbal drink. Sometimes a patient has been doing enemas for the first few days of the treatment without
a problem, but suddenly he/she cannot get more than 8-12 ounces into the colon. This may be a
symptom of a healing reaction or flare-up, and the solution is to take what is possible, release it, Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.comand take the rest. Even if the coffee solution has to be infused in three small amounts, it doesn’t
matter. Flare-ups are dealt with in detail in Chapter 16. In brief, they occur when so much bile is
released that the intestine is unable to contain it all. The bile then overflows and backs up into the
stomach. Since the stomach needs to be acid in order to hold and digest food, the highly alkaline
bile produces enormous discomfort: the stomach cannot hold food or liquid, and the patient
vomits. In itself this type of flare-up is welcome, because it clears out a lot of toxic bile—but
in the process the stomach membrane becomes irritated and needs instant relief. To do that, the
patient needs to drink as much peppermint tea as possible. At the same time the coffee enemas are
reduced, since they are causing the heavy flow of bile. The correct order for the next 2-3 days is
two chamomile enemas and only one coffee enema a day, until the nausea and vomiting clear up. Then the regular schedule can be resumed. During the flare-up, if the patient vomits and also has diarrhea, the body loses a lot of fluid,
so dehydration must be prevented. One way is to use more chamomile enemas instead of coffee. Also, the carrot/apple and green juices can be used as rectal implants. The regular 8-ounce dose
of juice is warmed to body temperature, by standing the glass in a warm water bath (NOT on the
stove, and without diluting it), and gently infused into the rectum. This is not an enema,  and the
patient should hold it until the liquid is absorbed. That may not take more than 10-15 minutes
of lying still in bed. These infusions can be used with all the juices, even every hour, instead of
having them as drinks—particularly valuable at times when during the flare-up the patient cannot
even bear to look at a juice, let alone drink it. Please note: do not infuse orange juice into the
rectum. Another problem occurs when the patient takes in the full 32 ounces of coffee solution, but
after 12 minutes is unable to release it. When that happens, the usual reaction is to take another
enema, expecting it to push out the first lot. But that doesn’t happen, and the patient tends to
panic. The reason of the blockage is that the colon spasms, cramps and doesn’t release the liquid. Of course there is no danger in this: the colon could actually hold up to 5 quarts—but that is
not the point. If the trouble is caused by cramping, the patient needs to lie down on his/her side,
with a warm water bottle on the stomach, and try to relax. If that doesn’t put things right, a small
amount of castor oil can be applied to the rectum; this usually promotes relaxation and release. However, if the situation lasts a little longer, including the time for the next enema, it helps to put
2 tablespoonfuls of the regular potassium compound (see Chapter 14 ) into each enema for a few
days. This will help to release the cramping and/or spasming. Please note:  do not use this method
for more than 2-3 days, to avoid irritating the rectum and the colon. It is only when they are on the regular enema routine that patients realize how much waste
material their bodies have stored over many years. Once the organism gets a go-ahead in the
direction of self-cleansing, it does release a variety of strange, disturbing accumulations which Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.comappear in the enema returns, including a wide range of parasites. Experts claim that some 85%
of us harbour parasites in our colon, which are best expelled. So the message is not to panic, if
the enema returns contain unusual substances: they prove that detoxification and cleansing is
progressing well. IMPORTANT NOTE: For patients who have been pre-treated with chemotherapy, the enema
schedule is reduced. It has become evident that such patients must be detoxified more slowly and
cautiously, so as not to release all the remaining toxic chemotherapy residues too rapidly, which
would add up to a dangerous overdose.Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved. This material may not be reproduced in any medium, print or electronic without prior written permission from the author.Page 118Healing the Gerson Way—Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases

Medications
For the general public, “medications” normally mean drugs, used in allopathic medicine in the
treatment of disease. In acute cases and emergencies many drugs are life-saving and highly
valuable. But when it comes to chronic conditions, as a rule the synthetic drugs, which are alien
to the body, can merely alleviate, i.e., suppress symptoms without dealing with the basic cause. This process is often accompanied by severe side effects, which may require more drugs to
control. The medications used in the Gerson Therapy belong to a totally different category. Far from
being drugs, they are nutritional supplements, consisting of natural substances present in, and
needed for, the normal functioning of the various body systems. Being natural, they have no
damaging side effects. Their purpose is to make up for the deficiencies of the sick body, until it
recovers sufficiently to cover all its needs. So pure are these substances that even if by mistake
they are incorrectly used, in excessive or insufficient doses, they do no harm—with the exception
of the thyroid/iodine supplementation, which must be correctly adjusted. Let us take them one by one and explore their purpose. Potassium Compound
Dr. Gerson found that the basic problem in all chronic degenerative diseases is the loss of
potassium from, and the penetration of sodium into the cells, now known as t he tissue damage
syndrome. The average diet in most countries, especially in the developed world, contains far
too much salt (sodium), which eventually causes the breakdown of the healthy balance within
the body. To correct this, Dr. Gerson added a large amount of potassium (a 10% solution of three
potassium salts) to the already potassium-rich organic vegetarian diet, and observed that this
enabled the sick body to release the excess sodium, together with edema, while also reducing high
blood pressure and, in most cases, pain. To prepare the compound,  100 grams of three ready-mixed potassium salts are dissolved in
one quart of distilled water and stored in a dark glass bottle, or in a clear one kept inside a large
brown or black paper bag, to keep out all light. On the full intensive therapy 4 teaspoonfuls of the potassium compound are added to
ten of the freshly prepared fruit and/or vegetable juices. This dosage is reduced after 3-4
weeks to 2 teaspoonfuls in each of ten juices. In seriously ill patients it takes many months, even 1-2 years, to restore normal potassium Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

        Since many
microwave ovens carry an “Underwriter Laboratory” guarantee of safety, the general public is
led to believe that these ovens are safe to use. But that is not the case. Research carried out in Switzerland and elsewhere has shown that microwaves cause
harmful chemical reactions in food, damaging nutrients, producing unnatural molecules and
making natural amino acids toxic. The heat is uneven; it doesn’t reach the middle of solid food,
but produces ‘hot spots. ’ Liquids can overheat and cause severe burns when the food is removed. To make things worse, these ovens emit radiation into the kitchen area even when not in use and
“cook the cook” (It is an interesting fact that for health reasons microwave ovens were banned in
the former Soviet Union as far back as 1976. ) If you own one, get rid of it. If it is not removable,
unplug it, and be not tempted to use it under any circumstances. Copyright ©


 always consumed—this keeps nature healthy for all
species and the same can be said of each cell in your body. Let’s look now at the two other primary causes of all disease, and the
reasons that tissues
fail in the first place: toxicity and overacidity (acidosis). Both create obstructions within your body. SECOND ROOT: TOXICITY

Toxicity (which means poison) is a broad-range term that includes many
things, from mucus accumulation from dairy foods, irritants and complex
sugars, to chemical, toxic metal and mineral deposits. This toxicity (which is
mostly acidic, and accumulates in the body) comes from foods, air, body-
hygiene products, household products, building materials … the list goes on
and on. Today, most of the foods people eat and the liquids they drink are
acidic, mucus-forming, energy-robbing and protein-toxic. The refined
starches we eat act like glue in the tissues of our body, causing plaque to
build up, as we discussed earlier. This toxicity, being acidic, can inflame and
congest tissue to the point of causing tissue death. This toxicity and mucus is stored in all tissues, but noticed more in your
sinuses, throat, thyroid, lungs, muscles, liver, kidneys and skin. This is why
all these areas are affected when you have cold and flu-like symptoms. The
body tries to “purge” itself of these toxins, or as many of them as it can,
through natural processes called “disease. ” Many “diseases” are nothing more
than elimination efforts by the body to purge itself of toxins, and/or dying or
dead cells. As previously stated, toxicity builds up intra-cellularly and interstitially
(around cells) in the vascular system, in the organs and glands, in the bowels,
and in the cavities of our body. Combine this toxicity with an over-acid diet
and you get inflammation, ulceration, tumors and eventually cellular death
(degeneration). These toxins and mucus create obstruction, blocking blood
and lymph flow to and from cells. This greatly reduces a cell’s ability to
function and stay healthy. Colds, flu, lymphatic conditions, lung conditions, gastrointestinal
problems, infections, to name a few of many conditions, are all symptoms of
this accumulation of toxicity in the body. Your immune system and/orparasites will naturally act upon this toxicity. Yet this natural response by
your immune system to this toxicity and, of course, to the parasites who feed
upon this toxicity, is oftentimes mistakenly called an autoimmune disorder. Parasites and immune responses are always secondary to the cause; they are
side effects of the symptom. THIRD ROOT: OVERACIDITY—ACIDOSIS

The body digests, absorbs, utilizes, reproduces, and eliminates in the presence
of fluids. These fluids include digestive juices, blood, extra- and intra-cellular
fluids, lymphatic fluids and urine. To fully understand the effects that food
and toxins have within your body, however, you first have to understand
opposites. Creation exists because of the dynamic interplay of opposites, without
which everything would be the same. (Of course, because God is One, the
closer to God you get, the more the opposites merge. ) The interplay between
opposites creates movement, activity, shapes, sizes, colors, temperatures. As
complicated as chemistry is, it rests upon two pillars or opposites: hot and
cold, or yin and yang, the names for the two opposing dynamics within
Chinese philosophy and medicine. Hot is called acid and cold is alkaline. Acids initiate change and alkalis balance. This is the basis of all matter. The elements which comprise matter are either acid or alkaline in nature. Acid-forming elements include nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur. Oxygen,
calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium are alkaline elements. Many of
the alkaline elements are known as electrolytes because of their ability to
carry and deliver electrical charges. Alkaline elements have oxygen and
carbon dominating the hydrogen, whereas acids have nitrogen and hydrogen
dominating. To maintain health and vitality, all of your body’s fluids should be
alkaline, except for the stomach’s gastric juices, hydrochloric acid and pepsin,
which are acidic for initial protein breakdown. The acid or alkaline
measurement in your body is classified in what is called pH factors. The pH
means “potential of hydrogen. ” The pH scale is 0 through 14—with 0 being
the most acidic, 7 being neutral, and 14 the most alkaline. Since each number
on the scale represents a logarithm, there is a 10-fold difference between each
number. This can be very significant when you understand that the pH of the
blood should be 7. 4, or slightly alkaline. Coma and death can take placewhen the hydrogen atoms in the blood lower (by adding hydrogen atoms) the
pH to 6. 95. The opposite can also be true. Convulsions and spasms can occur
when the pH becomes too alkaline (less hydrogen atoms), which is rare. It is
important to note that most convulsions and spasms are caused by mineral
utilization problems. All the food that humans eat can be divided into the above two
categories: they are either acid-forming or alkaline-forming. This depends
upon the ash left after their digestion, and upon the food’s dominating
inorganic minerals, which affect the pH of our body’s fluids. Acid foods
leave more phosphorus, iron and sulfur compounds, which push out alkaline
minerals like calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium. Acids crystallize,
thus irritating and inflaming tissues. These crystals are deposited throughout
the body causing inflammation, irritation and stimulation or agitation. Uric
acid, for example, is a by-product of meat metabolism and/or fungal growth
in the body. Uric acid buildup causes gout and other inflammatory conditions
throughout the body. There are many other acids formed during food digestion. These include
sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, butyric acid, lactic acid, acetic acid and
pyroracemic acid, to name a few. These acids, if not converted to salts by
electrolytes, will cause damage to tissue. The more acidic your body
becomes, the more damage you create within it. Men and women today eat mainly acid-forming foods, e. g., meats,
grains, pasteurized dairy products, eggs and cooked tomatoes. As acidity is
hot, these acids and compounds cause inflammation in tissues. Inflammation
causes cellular weakness and an inability of the cell to transport nutrients
across its membrane wall via cellular respiration, eventually leading to cellular
death. As previously stated, the only acid chamber in homo sapiens is the
stomach, where protein digestion begins. Note: Immediately after the stomach
contents move into the small intestines, bile and sodium bicarbonate are
secreted to alkalize this mixture now called chyme. The rest of digestion is
alkaline. The accumulation of acids and toxic foreign proteins in tissues causes an
immune response called inflammation. This inflammation is then diagnosed
as an “itis” of some sort, e.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>

the production of insulin by the beta cells for glucose utilization. When the
cells in the pancreas become weak and fail to do their respective jobs, both
aspects or functions can be affected. There are several other functions of the
pancreas, which we’ll discuss later. Digestion is one of the first things we think about when we think of the
pancreas. Even though not directly related to diabetes, proper digestion is a
vital process whereby foods are broken down so that their nutrition andenergy can be used for cellular fuel. Without this the entire body becomes
weak, affecting all its functions. The body secretes various digestive enzymes in basically four places: the
mouth, stomach, pancreas and small intestines. The mouth, pancreatic and
intestinal enzymes are similar to each other and are alkaline in nature,
affecting carbohydrate, sugar and fat digestion. The stomach is the only acid
chamber in your body and its role is to start breaking down protein
structures. This is accomplished by HCL (hydrochloric acid) releasing pepsin. HCL and pepsin are acidic in nature. It is important to note here the
importance of bile and sodium bicarbonate, the former released by the
liver/gallbladder and the latter by the pancreas. These are alkalizing agents,
which now alkalize the acid stomach contents (called ch

 long as you are calling it  na mes and  saying,  "I
am happy," or "l am afraid," you are not being aware
of it. Fcar, pain, sorrow, and boredom must remain
problems if we do not understand thcm, but under -
standing rcquires a single and unclividccl mine!. This,
surely, is the meaning of that strange saying, "If chine

You  ARE  LISTENING  TO A SONG. SUDOENLY  I ASK,  " A T
this moment,   who  are you?" How  will you
answer  this question immediately and
spontaneously, with - out stopping  to find words? If the question  does  n o t shock  you out of listening,
you will answer  by hum- ming che song. If the
question surprised you, you will answer,  "At this
moment,  who  are you?" But if you stop  to think,
you will  try to tell me,  not about  this moment,  but
about  the past. I shall  get informa - tion about  your
name  and address,  your  business  a n d personal
history. But I asked  who  you are,  not w h o you
were. For to be aware of reality, of the living
present,  is to discover  that at each  moment  the ex-
perience is all. There is nothing else besidc it-
no experience  of.. you"  expericncing  the
cxperiencc. Even  in our most  apparendy  self-conscious  mo-
ments,  the "self"  of which  we are conscious  is
always  sorne particular feeling or sensation -of
muscular  tensions,  of warmth  or cold,  of pain  or
irritation,  of breath  or of pulsing  blood. There   is
nevcr  a s e n s a - tion of what  scnses  sensations,  just
as thcrc  is no meaning  or possibility  in thc notion  of
smelling  one's  nose  or kissing  onc's  own  lips. In times  of happiness  and  pleasure,   we are
u s u- ally ready  enough  to be awarc  of the
moment,  and to
89 THE  WISDOM  OF INSECURlTY
let the experience be ali. In such moments we
"for- get ourselvcs," and the mind makes no
attempt to di- vide itself from itself, to be separate
from experience. But with  thc arrival  of pain,
whether  physical  or cmotional,  whether acLUal  or
anticipated,  the split  begins  and che circle  goes
round  and round. As soon as it becomes clear that 'T' cannot pos -
sibly escape  from  the reality of che present, since
'T' is nothing other than what l know now,  this
inner  turmoil musl stop. No possibility remains
but to be  aware of pain,  fear,  boredom, or grie[  in
the same  complete  way  that  one is aware  of
plcasure. The  human organism has the most
wonderful powers of  adaptation to both physical
and psychological pain. But these can only come
into full play when che pain  is not being constantly
restimulated  by this  inner  effort to geL away from
it, to separate the  "I" from  Lhe feeling. The effort
creares a state of tension in  whic h the pain thrivcs. But when the tension ceases,  mind and body begin
to absorb che pain as }Vater re - acts  to a blow  or
cut. There  is another  story  of a Chinese  sage  who
was
asked, "How shall wc escape thc heat?" -meaning,
of course, thc heat of suffering. He answered, "Go
right  into the middle of che firc." ·'But how, then,
shall we  escape che scorching flame?" "No further
pain will  trouble you!" We do not need to go as far
as China. The  same  idea  comes  in The Divine
Comedy,  where

90 THE  MARVELOUS  MOMENT
Dante  and Virgil  find  that  the way  out of Hell  lies
at its very  center. In moments of great joy we do not, as a rule,
stop  to think, "I am happy," or, "This is joy." Ordinarily,  we do not pause to think thoughts of
this kind until  the joy is past its peak, or unless
there is sorne anxiety  that it will go away. At such
times we are so aware of the moment that no
attempt is made to compare its  experience with
other expericnces. For this reason  wc do not
name it, for names which are not mere ex-
clamations are bascd on comparisons. "Joy" is
dis- tinguishecl from "sorrow" by contrast, by
comparing  one state of mincl wich the other. Had we ncver  knovm joy, it would be impossible
to identify sorrow  as sorrow. But in reality  wc cannot  compare  joy with
sorrow. Comparison is possible only by thc very rapid
alter - nation of two statcs of mind, ancl you
cannot switch  back and fonh bctween thc
gcnuinc feclings of joy  and sorrow as you can
shift your eycs bctween a cat and a dog. Sorrow
can only be compared wich che  memory of joy,
which is not at all thc samc ching as joy itself. Like words,  mcmorics nevcr  renlly succccd in
"catching" n:ality., \lcmorics are somewhat
abstract,  being a knowledgc aboul  1hings rathcr
than of chings. Memory nevcr caplllres the
esscnce, the present in - tensity,  the concrete
reality  of an experience. lt is, as TJIE  WISOOM  OF INSECURITY
it were, the corpse of an experience, from which
the life has vanished. What  we know  by memory,
we know only al secondhand. Memories  are dead
be- cause  fixed. The memory  of your deceased
grand - mother can only repeat what your
grandmother was. But thc  real,  present
grandmother could always  do or say someLhing
new, and you,vere never absolutely  sure  what  she
would  do next. There  are, Lhen,  two ways  of understanding  an
ex-
perience. The firsl is to compare it with the
memories  of ocher expcriences, and so lO name
and define il. This  is to imcrpret it in accordance
wilh  che dead  and the pase. The second is  lO be
aware  of it as it  is, as when, in the intensity of joy,
we forget past and  future, let the present be all,
and thus do not even  stop  to Lhink,  "I am
happy." Both  ways  of understanding  have  their  uses. fiul Lhey corrcspond to the difference  between
knowing  a thing  by words  and knowing  it
immec \iately. A menu  is very useful. but it is no
substicute  for the dinner. A guidebook  is an
admirable  tool,  but_ it is hardly LObe compared
with  the country  it describes. Thc point,  then,  is
that whcn wc try to understand  the prescm  by
comparing  ic with  mernories,  we do nol
u11derstand  itas deeply  as whcn  we are aware  of
it withoul  comparison. This,  however,  is usually
the way  in which  we approach  unpleasant

active bacteria in the colon. One must conclude that the diet of most humans, the world over, is particularly favourable for the
production and absorption of abnormal amines. The normal monoamines would be presumably concerned in
initiating the humanizing predispositions, the aspirations to goodness and harmonious social relationships, to love, compassion
and co-operation, and the joys and ecstasies that go with their fulfilment. The more elusive, yet important pursuits of purity, of the
mystical and spiritual, are connected. The abnormal amines, on the
other hand, are disruptive rather than integrating, more likely to excite the lower, prehuman aspect of mind, normally quiescent but easily aroused, accounting for the mi schief and the insensitivity in
the human midst, and, when more severe, for the violence and hatred, the horrors and bestialities of existence. To find such a biochemical basis to evil, in world-wide
aberrations of diet, must appear as the over simplification of an immensely complex problem. Certainly no two individuals are likely to react in the same way to the same abnormalizing conditions, and some people will be better equipped than others to
resist the inhuman tendencies, as some societies have been more
active than others in encouraging an acceptable level of human behaviour. But statistically, over sufficient time, abnormal effects on the mind will push behaviour toward s the inhuman and bestial. It
is not the rarer outburst of loving, the sudden craving for beauty and
purity, that count so much as the steady loading of thought, desire
and action in directions which are subtly not properly human, for ever waiting for the periodical occasions for more terrible venting, in the tragedies of individual exis tence as in the recurring crises of
human history. 8. Love, Lust and Aggression

The destructive anger and hatred of human beings serves no
biological purpose; on the contrary, they are a threat to human
survival. Although primates, and humans, are not territorial animals,
in the sense that the carnivores ar e territorial, they do resent
encroachment into their habitats. Gorillas can get very angry and
ferocious. It is evident therefore th at the capacity for anger has been
purposefully retained in the evoluti on of the primates, to meet threat
and challenge, even if their usua l and normal patterns of existence
are peaceful. As humans became hunt ers with the Ice Ages, they did
in fact acquire some of the territorial predispositions of carnivores
and hunting animals. This is unders tandable, for game is scarce at
the best of times, a given area only being able to provide a tenth or
less of game compared to vegetable foods. With this cortically
involved territorialism, there has arisen a capacity for exercising
anger, violence and ruthless-ness. Bu t this is not natural; it is purely
existential. If the usual is confused for the normal, it is impossible to make
sense of the historical, and prehistorical, facts of man's extreme and unbiological aggressiveness. Attempts to find reasons and advantages for it, are fanciful. While aggressiveness as a normal pattern of life in many animals is clearly biologically advantageous,
attempts to transpose such advant ages to the human genesis entails
an ignorance of the most pertinent human features, those which have been absolutely essential for th e very special type of social
organization characteristic of humans as opposed to the groupings found among other animals. The fact is that most people ha ve at one time or another known
the meaning of love, if not fully in the reality of their lives, then at least in longing and in dreaming. Love is then seen to be a condition of joy nearing ecstasy, a desire to give oneself for others, a longing for the pure and the beautiful, the righteous and noble, so powerful
as to completely transfigure the meaning of existence. In such
moments, there is no possibility of meanness and selfishness, of
brutality and cruelty. Clearly, such a humanizing predisposition, innate and biologically implante d, affecting all thought and
behaviour, has been absolutely indispensable for the familial and social structure required by an evolving and a developing brain. In
the fact of such requirements, any contrary suppositions can but
amount to faulty and injurious myth-making. Since most people like to find support for what they happen to be, rather than for what they
should be, such spurious myth-making, from which scientists themselves are not entirely absolved, are very popular. The intensity of love's ecstasy, proving its biological
implantation, is evidently designed to be kindled in an atmosphere of sexual love, the longing for another, calling for tenderness and
solicitation, care and adoration. In such a scheme, the human body and the human face have necessarily been decreed by natural selection as the most beautiful things in the Creation, the ultimate
objects of veneration. As sexual love is fulfilled, so comes a sense of profound meaningfulness in all things. Lovers have no doubt that
life has meaning, that nature is sacred. In such a state, mere carnality is transcended into a near divine
rapture. Each touch becomes an act of adoration, each word and movement holy. There can be no blind demand for an animal stampede into the self-centred relief of immediate coitus. On the contrary, the love game overcomes time, and when coitus occurs, it
is a sublime unitive rapture wh ich thoroughly transcends flesh,
place and time, in a 'high' whose promise was whispered in the first encounters of loving. This near divine transfiguration of the body, and thereby of the universe, in the 'high' of sexual love, is the complete opposite of the lewd and lustful, of the pornographic,
purient interest in the body, in the sexual organs. The purity which it
demands makes it the prerogative of youth, of young lovers. Although it carries an obvious ability to be shared with others, and with all things, it is the most naturally achieved in an enduring relationship with another. By definition, careless change and
promiscuity are contrary to it. The impulse to a wider sharing of love, originally awakened in
sexual loving, takes also a sexless form of immense importance to a creature communally bonded by compassion rather than by instinct or advantage, in the love of family, of friends, of community, of nature.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely.

Q: Who is the author of the book "Food Fit for Humans"?,
A: Frank Avray Wilson
Q: What is the author's main argument in the book?,
A: The author argues that the human being is designed to appreciate and seek out beautiful and harmonious things, and that this sensitivity to beauty is essential for humanization.
Q: What is the author's view on the role of science in human society?,
A: The author criticizes science for being complicit in the destruction of nature and the promotion of unhealthy and unnatural food habits, and suggests that science has failed to provide a moral compass for human society.
Q: What is the author's stance on the importance of fruits in the human diet?,
A: The author argues that fruits are essential for human health and well-being, and that a diet based on fruits and vegetables is the key to humanization.
Q: What is the author's view on the role of aggression and violence in human society?,
A: The author suggests that aggression and violence are not natural or biological, but rather a result of human deviation from a natural and harmonious environment, and that they are a threat to human survival.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>The natural tendency for love  to spread out into non-sexual
directions gives an indication of how sexual love itself should
evolve among lovers, in a form the most congenial and useful to society. The pristine rapture of sexual love cannot last, and is not designed to do so, but rather to be progressively replaced by compassion, in the teaming of procreation, with interests shared,
and, with advancing years, in a heightening social and spiritual
involvement. Living, loving and ageing in such an atmosphere of evolving love, the human being is assured of a meaningful participation in the function and structure of family and society. And most other cultures have believed that human society symbolically reflects the underlying structure of Creation. Such a definition of sexual love is so contradicted by the usual
expression of sex in industrial societies, that it must appear as unreal and Utopian. Yet there is sufficient evidence that sexual love, rather than just sex, is the normal human pattern among simpler peoples, and among those few fortunate primiti es still surviving in the more
benevolent habitats. Having a top biological priority in humanization, one can
understand why the joys that attend the achievement of sexual love are the highest that can come to  the human being, and why the
failure to achieve love is accompanied by


 I don’t need to
desperately seek out the shade at the beach, or figure out which hat will  stay on and give me adequate protection. I can actually take
walks on the beach without all the cover-up gear and  out of the shade. I only use a sun hat if I’m out in the full sun during midda y. For the first time, I can go to the farmer’s market in the afternoon wit hout a hat and no burn! My hair is just getting silkier and better looking—without shamp oo or conditioner! W ow! My skin, teeth, and nails have never
looked or felt better either. Amazing, because while I brush and f loss my teeth and bathe daily with water, I haven’t used shampoo,
conditioner, face soap, body soap, toothpaste, deodorant, makeup, lotion, sunscreen, bug repe llant, or anything but water on my
body (except dish soap on my hands) for over two and a half years now. Funny—just some scrubbing and water. Who’d have
thought? My skin has never been smoother or more lovely than it is now, and I am vir tually free of the acne that I’ve had ever since
puberty. People comment frequently now on how my skin “glows,” how healt hy I look, and how pretty my hair is, wanting to touch
it and do things with it. I haven’t had people wanting to do that with my  hair since I was a very young child. Eating this way requires little food preparation. All I have to do is put my  fruit for the day in a box, and maybe grab some
salad and tomatoes if I don’t have enough at work already, and go. No need to slice, spread, arrange, layer, bag, or cook, transfer,
clean, etc., as with cooked food. Of course, you can make the 80/10/10rv  food fancy enough for any gourmet undertaking if you
want, but you don’t have to go through all that every day just to eat. If I don’t have enough with me or get caught out at mealtime, I can go int o practically any grocery store and get fruit. No more
shakiness, spiciness, and low blood sugar if I have to skip or delay a meal. Inste ad I feel fine and still perform well mentally and
physically until I refuel. If I know I’m going to have a busy day, I’ll throw some fruit and possibly  greens or celery in a blender with water in the
morning before I leave, to take with me to drink while working. I take a bit of thi s, watered down, to Ashtanga as my sports drink
and often drink the full smoothie afterwards on my drive back to work. I have a ble nder at work too, in case I decide to exercise or
have a smoothie or dressing while there, as I am often at the office for ov er twelve hours at a time. But in truth, I rarely need or want
to use it at work. I use less trash, and have more compost with which I can grow more food. At th e end of the day, I have only a salad bowl,
occasionally a smoothie container, and a compost container to wash for the w hole day. You can do that with just water, too, if you
do it right away. The day we got rid of our stove was such a wonderful day. It was such a freein g experience, and it made the whole kitchen
seem so much cleaner somehow. I have no need for pots, pans, ovens, or other cooking a ppliances and accessories. In fact, I could
get away without any food-preparation utensils or dishes at all if I w anted to. I don’t need spices, herbs, medications, vitamins,
minerals, or other supplements, either. It’s just so much simpler a nd more natural—less expensive too. Finally, I’m at Peace
Prior to going raw, I had been close to a nervous breakdown as a result of living  in a high state of stress for several years. I knew I
needed to de-stress, but I couldn’t see how, without conditions changing i n my life. I couldn’t exercise or do other stress-relieving
activities, because I would just feel like I was getting further beh ind on things, which would stress me out even more
(counterproductive to say the least). Now I am far less prone to stress and emotional baggage issues. My emotions  are more even and at a higher level than
before. I still attend to things, but I don’t feel stressed about them. I  feel too good to bother, actually. It is not my life that changed,
it’s me. I simply am not as stressed about things anymore. In fact, I ha ve had even more stressful things happen in my life than
before, yet I have felt less stressed during these times. It’s kind of hard to describe … I guess the best way is to say that I’m at peace, more so than ever before—at peace with
who I am, who everyone else is, and with what is going on in my life and aroun d me. From my experience, good health truly is
happiness and peace of mind. I just plain feel good, and it’s hard to get t oo down when you feel so darned good all the time, you
know? My body tells me it wants to play, and I follow! Learning to Eat Enough Food
Once I started on Dr. Graham’s program, I started really liking my food a gain. It is yummy, and I look forward to it. I don’t put off
my meals until I get ravenous anymore. I used to be so disinterested in  and uninspired by my food that I’d wait until I was so hungry
I would just grab whatever was closest and quickest—which was almos t never a healthy food choice. My body just wasn’t
interested in the food I was giving it. Now that I’m providing health y food for my body, it loves my food, and so do I.
I find it fairly easy to get enough calories now, but it took a while to get to t he level of eating this much. When I started out, I
wasn’t eating enough calories, although I felt fine. I think my body just didn’t want that much food back then, because it wanted to
clear out old stuff. I figured out that I was only eating as many calorie s as would support an 80-pound person, but I also realized I
had some fat to live off of to help my transition. Over time, it did work out. Initially, I only lost weight because I had exces s fat. Eventually I lost most of the fat, gained some
new muscle (and weight along with it), and gradually started eating  more calories naturally as my body adjusted to things. Currently,
I probably eat more calories than some would think I should and many think I coul d. It works out anyway, as I am getting stronger,
gaining weight while keeping a healthy body-fat level, and I am feeli ng quite well. Don’t Live a Little … Live a Lot! If you’re looking to save time and effort in finding what works, look no further. Dr. Graham’s method works. I used to “live a little”
from passing pleasures like non-optimum food, sacrificing my hea lth and well-being in the process. Now I “live a lot.” I don’t feel
badly about my food choices or feel like I’m giving up anything. I’m choosi ng better health and more lasting pleasure, and I am all
the more happy as a result. I feel so much better and see so many resul ts that I am inspired to keep going and don’t want to go back
to cooked food or even high-fat raw. The fleeting satisfaction just isn’ t worth the risk of losing all that I’ve gained. This raw stuff is amazing. Not raw any  way—but this low-fat vegan way—that’s what’s making the differe nce! The more I
follow all of Dr. Graham’s recommendations (which incorporate other li festyle factors besides diet: exercise, rest, pure water, pure
air, sunshine, sleep, recreation, etc. ), the easier it is to stay on the 80/10/10  raw vegan diet, and the better I feel. In fact, eating this
way has enabled me to joyfully and naturally make improvements in many  other areas of my life, which I was unable to do before,
no matter how hard I tried. To sum it all up, I just feel so alive! I want to tell the world! It’s so simple, and it works so well! I feel like my  body is
celebrating life on a cellular level—it is happy to be alive and w ants to move to celebrate. I gladly oblige. Happy happy, joy joy,
happy happy, joy! Reading my praise of Dr. Graham and his program, you may not realize that I  am actually exceedingly cautious and
conservative about recommending any products or services, as I take this  responsibility seriously. That said, I highly recommend that
you read and reread this book as many times as necessary, until you are able  to try this program and discover for yourself just how
life-enhancing it is. Give it a good chance though, and follow everythi ng as much as possible. Like any generic guideline, the program
described in this book may need adjusting for your individual situation. The g eneral method has worked wonders for me. I
wholeheartedly recommend


itio ns or events in the past or present will produce consistent
answers.It is necessary  to be imper sonal during the procedure to avoid
transmitting positive or negative  feelings. Accuracy is increased by having
the test subject close his eyes, a nd there should be no music or distractions
in the background. Because the test is so deceptively simple, inquirers do well to first verify
its accur acy to their own satisfaction. Responses can be checked by cross-
questioning, and everyone who becomes acquainted with the technique
thinks o f tricks to satisfy themse lves that it is reliable. It will so on be found
that the same res ponse is observed in all subjects, that it is not necessary for
the subject to have any knowle dge of the matter in question, and that the
response will always be indepen dent of the test subject’ s person al opinions
about the question. Before p resenting an inquiry, we have found it useful to first test the
statement “I have permission to ask this question.” This is analogous to an
entry req uisite o n a computer te rminal, and will occasionally return a “no”
answer. This indicates that one should leave that question alon e or inquire
carefully into the reason for the “no.” Perhaps the questioner might have
experienced psy chological distress from the answer or its implications at
that time, or for other unknown reasons. In this study, test subjects were asked to focus on a specified  thought,
feeling, attitude, memory, relationship, or life circumstance. T he test was
frequently done in lar ge groups of people; for demonstration purposes, we
first established a baseline by asking the subjects, eyes closed, to hold in
mind th e memory of a time when they were angry, upset, jealous,
depressed, guilty, or fearful; at t hat point, everyone universally went weak. W e would then ask them to hol d in mind a loving person or life situation,
and everyone would go strong; typically a murmur of surprise would ripple
through the audience at the implications of what they had just discovered. The next phenomenon demon strated was that the mere im age of a
substance held in the mind produced the same response as if th e substance
itself were in physical contact with the body. As an example, we would hold
up an apple grow n with pesticides and ask the audience to look directly at it
while being tested; all would go weak. W e would then hold up an
or ganically grow n apple, free of contaminants, and as the audie nce focused
on it, they would instantly go strong. Inasmuch as no one in the audience
knew which apple was which—nor, for that matter, had any anticipation ofthe test at all—the reliability of the method was demonstrated to everyone’ s
satisfaction. For reliable results, it should  be remembered that people process
experience dif fe rently: some people primarily adopt a feeling m ode, others
are m ore auditory, and still othe rs are more visual. Therefore, te st questions
should avoid such phrasing as “How do you feel?” abou t a person,
situation, or experience; or “How does it look?” or “How does it sound?”
Customarily, if one says, “Hold the situation [or person, plac e, thing, or
feeling] in mind,” the subjects w ill instinctively select their own appropriate
mode. Occasionally, in an ef fort, perhaps even unconscious, to disguise their
response, subjec ts will select a mode that is not their customary mode of
processing and give a false response. When the tester elicits a paradoxical
response, the question should be rephrased. For example, a patient who
feels guilty about his anger toward his mother may hold in mind a
photograph of her and test strong. However, if the tester were to rephrase
the question by asking this subject to hold in mind his present attitude
toward his mother, the subject would instantly go weak. Other pr ecautions to maintain the accuracy of the test include removing
eyeglasses, especially if they have metal frames, and hats (synthetic
materials on top of the head m ake everyone go weak). The testing arm
should a lso be free of jewelry,  especially quartz wristwatches. When an
anomalous response does occur, further investigation will eventually reveal
the c ause—the tester, for instanc e, might be wearing a perfume to which the
patient has an adverse reaction, producing false-negative responses. If a
tester experienc es repeated failures while attempting to elicit an accurate
response, the ef fect of his voice on other subjects should be evaluated; some
testers, at least at certain times,  may express suf ficient negative ener gy in
their voices to af fect test results. Another factor to be considered  in the face of a paradoxical re sponse is
the time frame o f the memory o r image involved. If a test subject is holding
in m ind a given  person and the ir relationship, the response will depend on
the period the memory or im age represents. If he is remem bering his
relationship with his brother from childhood, he may have a dif ferent
response than if he is holding in  mind an image of the relationship as it is
today. Questioning always has to be narrowed down specifically.One other cause for paradoxical test results is a physical condition of the
test subject resulting from st ress, or depression of the th ymus-gland
function, which occurs from encountering a very negative ener gy field. The
thymus gland is the central co ntroller of the body’ s acupuncture ener gy
system, and when its ener gy is low, test results are unpredictable. This can
be easily  remed ied in a few seconds by a simple technique discovered by
Dr. J ohn Diamond, which he ca lled the “thymic thump.” The thymus gland
is locate d directly behind the top of the breastbone. W ith clenched fist,
pound over this area rhythmically several times while smiling and thinking
of so meone you love. At each thump, say, “Ha-ha-ha.” Retesting will now
show th e resumption of thymic dominance, and normal test results will
occur. USE OF THE TESTING PROCEDURE IN THIS STUDY
The testing technique just described is that recommended by Dr. Diamond in Behavioral Kinesiology. T he only variation introduced  in our
study was the co rrelation of responses with a logarithmic scale  to calibrate
the relative power of the ener g y of dif ferent attitudes, thoughts, feelings,
situations, and relationships. Be cause the test is rapid, actually  taking less
than 10  seconds, it is possib le to process an enormous amount of
information about a variety of matters in a very short time. The numerical scale elicited spontaneously from test subjects ranges
from the  value of mere physica l existence at 1; up to 600 in the ordinary
worldly realm, which is the ape x of ordinary consciousness; and then from
600 on up to 1,000, which includes advanced states of Enlightenment. Responses in the form of simple yes-or -no answers determine the
calibration of the subject. For e xample, “If just being alive is one, then the
power o f Love is over 200?” (S ubject goes strong, indicating a yes.) “Love
is ov er 3 00?” (S ubject still goes strong.) “Love is over 400?” (S ubject stays
strong.) “Love is 500 or over?” (Subject still strong.) In this case, Love
calibrated at 500, and this figu re proved reproducible regardless of how
many subjects were tested. W ith repeated testing—using either individuals
or group s—a co nsistent scale emer ged, which correlates well with human
experience, history, and common opinion, as well as the findings of
psychology, soc iology, psycho analysis, philosophy, medicine, and thefamous Great Chain of Being. It also correlates quite precisely with
perennial philosophy’ s strata of consciousness. The test er must be cautious, however, realizing that the answer s to some
questions may be quite disturbing to the subject. The technique must not be
used irr esponsibly, and the tester must always respect the subject’ s
willingness to participate; it sh ould never be used as a confrontational
technique. In clinical situations, a personal question is never posed to the
test sub ject unle ss it is pertine nt to a therapeutic purpose. It is possible,
though, to pose a question that precludes personal involvement  on the part
of the test subject, who then functions merely as an indicator for the
purposes of calibration research. The test response is independent of the subject’ s actual physical strength. It is freq uently d umbfounding to well-muscled athletes when the y go just as
weak as  anyone else in response to a noxious stimulus. The test er may well
be a frail woman who weighs le ss than 100 pounds, and the subject may be
a professional football player who weighs more than 200, but the test results
will be the same, as she puts down his powerful arm with a mere two
fingers. DISCREP ANCIES

investigators for a variety of

If it is of interest to you for any research purposes, I nearly died from the reactions of several
strong antibiotics administered over several months of lung infections. I have been hospitalized
three times in the past year for the resulting gastro-intestinal problems created by the medication. After the most recent hospital stay, I refused to continue with the medication. Most of the problems began to clear up within a few days. However, my rectal bleeding from colitis and internal hemorrhoids continued. In the meantime a friend told me that in the Tennessee Hills, where he was raised, urine enemas
were used for similar problems. On July31, 1988, I began using urine for daily enemas. By the end of the following week, the bleeding had stopped completely, and as of this date
(September25, 1988), I have not passed a single drop of blood. 55 NOTHING UNSCIENTIFIC ABOUT URINE THERAPY
Dr. B.V. Khare
How does it feel to be an allopathic expert promoting urine therapy? I feel great! Many doctors know about it but they feel inhibited because of many reasons:
they don't have experience; they feel scared that if people really start doing it and remain healthy
their practices will go down, etc.. I have given more than 200 lectures all over India and when I gave a lecture at Mumbai Rotary
Club, the doctors present there told me to stop promoting it because they were having a slack
season. They were afraid if I promoted urine therapy with greater enthusiasm the number of
patients attending dispensaries would be further reduced. How do others in the medical fraternity react to this? Some were curious to know more about it and some were sceptical about its value. Many of them
reacted favourably and started sending patients to me with chits for consultation on auto-urine
therapy. You will be surprised to know that I treated with auto-urine therapy(AUT) many doctors
too and they were cured of their ailments. But when asked to give me a certificate that they had
such a remarkable result, they refused for obvious reasons. How do you tackle people who may tell you that your are unscientific? There is nothing unscientific about it. Mr. Moraji Desai, the former Prime Minister of India, was
using this remedy for years and he lived for almost a hundred years bouncing with good health. In fact, I got an invitation to give a talk at the Rotary Meeting on alternative therapy four or five
years ago just because the doctors who were under my treatment showed no signs of aging and
they insisted that I should be invited to talk to the general public. Many people are working all over the world and doing research on this. The Dean of J.J.Hospital is keen that I should start research on this project And I have given my
consent. We should start some work in the next 2 to 3 months. Is there any scientific research in this regard? Or some documented evidence? There is a lot of scientific research and documented evidence on auto-urine therapy. The Italian surgeon Stanislau R Burzynski, now settled in America, separated anti-neoplastin
from human urine and showed remarkable results in the treatment of cancer. But the cost of
treatment was in lakhs.The other substance found in large quantities in the urine is called
dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). It is a hormone related to testesterone. This, as research
showed, has anti-aging, anti-cancer, and anti-obesity properties. There is also lots of research on
urea. When recycled by mouth, it is converted into essential amino acid. In what otherwise-incurable diseases do you find urine therapy effective? I have personally treated many patients with allergies, especially asthma, which have been cured. The other condition on which AUT has effect is chronic amoeobic dysentery which is really a
problem in India. Chronic constipation, which is also a common thing in old age, gets cured in a
few months. Some cases of cancer have got cured, but one cannot say that all cases can get
well. This mainly depends on the stage of the disease. For common troubles like skin diseases,
cold, cough, bronchitis, viral fever and pyorrhoea, it is really a boon. How did you get interested in this therapy? I read a book in 1975 called "Manav Mootra" by Ravjibhai Patel. It gave me an impetus to treat a
case of Hodgkin's disease with high grade cancer. The patient was supposed to be a gone case. But with auto urine therapy, this man is still perfectly all right.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely.

turn of the century supporting the efficacy of using urine for health. The medical research done to date on urine indicates that it is completely

This should be a clean catch, meaning the genital area

exacerbation of symptoms. As improvement progresses, lengthen the
interval between treatments. After 3 days, suspend treatment to avoid pushing the immune system. Treatment is resumed if progress remains static or relapse occurs. 2}. Use fresh urine drops direct. For some cases, sub*lingual drops work well. (Should always use fresh urine immediately upon collection. You should not boil or dilute the urine in any way for internal use. For external use you may boil off 75% of liquid leaving 25%

“THE EYE OF REVELATION?” is truly a revelation. It re-
veals to you information which has been known and used by men
in far-distant lands for more than 25 centuries, but which is now
available to you for the first time. Information which has been
thoroughly tried and tested and which has been proven beyond a
doubt to be the greatest gift ever bestowed on man in this material
plane of existence. Information that will stem the tide of pre-
mature old age with its attendant weaknesses and senility. This is the information for which Ponce de Leon, and thou-
sands of others down through the ages, would have given all they
possessed: for with such information they quickly could have re-
gained all that they had paid and more. “THE EYE OF REVELATION” produces remarkable mental
and physical rejuvenation within a month. So much so, in fact. that one gains new hope and enthusiasm with which to carry on. However, the greatest results come after the tenth week. When
you stop to consider that the average man has endured his afflic-
tions from 30 to 50 years, to obtain such amazing results in such a
short time as ten weeks sounds almost miraculous. There is positively no limit to the improvement and progress
one can make with this information. As long as you live and prac-
tice "THE EYE OF REVELATION” you will get more gratify-
results. Not only will they be manifested in the material, but
if the fortunate individual so desires he may improve his mental
world as well as all the other worlds to which man is heir. MOST IMPORTANT: The information given in “THE
EYE OF REVELATION” was, for twenty-five centuries, con-
fined strictiy to men, Now, to the surprise and delight of all
concerned, it has been found that women, too; get equally beneficial
and amazing results. Now, after this long period of waiting every

PART ONE
One afternoon I dropped into the Travelers Club to escape
a sudden shower, and while seated in an easy chair waiting for
it to clear up I fell into a conversation with a most interesting
old gentleman; one who, although I did not know it then, was
destined to change the whole course of my life. I call him an
old man for that is exactly what he was. In his late sixties,
he looked every year his age. He was thin and stooped, and
when he walked leaned heavily on his cane. It developed that he was a retired British army officer,
who had likewise seen service in the diplomatic corps of the
Crown. There were few accessible places on the globe to which
Colonel Bradford, as I shall call him, although that was not his
true name, had not, at some time or other in his life, paid a
visit, and warming under my attention he related incidents in
his travels which were highly entertaining. Needless to say I
spent an interesting and profitable afternoon listening to him. This was some years ago. We met often after that and got
along famously. Many evenings, either at his quarters or at
mine, we discussed and discoursed until long past midnight. It was on one of these occasions 1 became possessed of a
feeling that Colonel Bradford wanted to tell me something of
importance. Something close to his heart which was difficult
for him to talk about. By using all the tact and diplomacy at
my command I succeeded in making him understand that I
should be happy to help him in any way possible, and that if he
cared to tell me what was on his mind I would keep it in strict
confidence. Slowly at first, and then with increased trust
he began to talk. While stationed in India some years ago, Colonel Bradford,
from time to time, came in contact with wandering natives
from the remote fastnesses of the country. He heard many
interesting tales of the life and customs of the country. One
story, which interested him strangely, he heard quite a number
of times, and always from natives who inhabited a particular
—3—district. Those from the other districts seemed never to have
heard it. It concerned a group of Lamas or Tibetan priests who,
apparently, had discovered “The Fountain of Youth.” The
natives told of old men who had mysteriously regained health
and strength, vigor and virility shortly after entering a certain
Lamasery; but where this particular place was none seemed
exactly to know. Like so many other men, Colonel Bradford had become old
at 40, and had not been getting any younger as the years
rolled by. Now the more he heard this tale of “The Fountain
of Youth” the more he became convinced that such a place and
such men actually existed. He began to gather information
on directions, character of the country, climate, and various
other tid-bits that might help him locate the spot; for from
then on there dwelt in the back of his mind a desire to find
this “Fountain of Youth.”
This desire, he told me, had now grown so powerful that he
had determined to return to India and start in earnest a quest
for the retreat of these young-old men; and he wanted me to
go with him. Frankly, by
