 For example, take the stone,
washed with water. It varies in time, but not the time grinds
it, it makes water. The aging process takes time, but time -
this is not the cause of grinding. Two stones, subjected to the same extent the process of grinding
water, cleared at different rates depending on their hardness
and density. For the same reason two people under the same
destructive factors are aging at different rates, depending
of individual resistance degrading agents. Stone wears faster or slower depending on the
amount of water flowing around it: if it is small, stone washed
slowly if the water a lot, then erase faster. Also
and a person is aging rapidly or slowly, depending on the number of
destructive influences to which he is exposed. A few extend the example: imagine a self-healing
rock. First, she polished under water. Then
128
128water stopped her wash. Rock begins to "repair"
themselves and recover most of the lost material. in the human body will be ecological process
(He is self-repairing), when the causes of aging
eliminated. The body is able to break down part of damaged structures and replace
them fresh, update the cells by removing accumulated
them as "loads" and "repair" their damaged parts. Speaking
figuratively, the human body itself is able to actively
manage their own affairs and be constructive. Man is so made that can live longer and better than he
doing it now. He will live much longer
years than now, and enjoy the absolute health and energy. It should not languish in the 60 years of age or earlier. But in fact, for
excluding deaths from accidents and murders, people die
from disease. If we lived in such a way that the development of disease
was prevented, we will not only be able to live longer than
think at the moment, but we could live, having a physical
and mental strength. Aging is defined as "the accumulation of changes in the body,
increase the risk of death of the individual over
time ". It simply means that aging is a
slow accumulation of pathological (painful) changes
in tissues and organs, damage to the structures of the body and slow
deterioration of its vital functions. Old age - it's just one more
chronic disease. This is the reason that we can
age, sooner or later, and some people in the 70 years younger than other
forties. Aging takes place in time, but time is not the cause
him. Consequently, no matter what way to accurately determine
human physiological age, it is important that we have found
and found out the causes of aging. Eliminate the cause
aging and physiological age let him take care of itself. Argue that no one knows exactly what the changes
organism, leading to aging, or what exactly these changes. Consider the experiences of the famous French scientist, Dr. Alekensa
Karel, author of "Man - a creature unknown. Supporting
living fragments of chicken hearts for many
years, he found that they grew older, unless exempt from waste
accumulated in their cells. In other words, they grew older because of
accumulation in the cultural environment in which they were held, products
- Waste of their own metabolism. If these wastes are regularly
output so that the cells they are not poisoned, the heart of the chicken
not been aging. It is very important evidence that aging
is the result of chronic saturation of toxic substances. Unfortunately, an important discovery has attracted too little attention
perhaps because they did not find a way to use it. 129
129Karel experience and many other similar allowed scientists to make
Finally, the cells potentially immortal. in normal
state, they continue to divide and re-share, but they do not
die. Death is an abnormal phenomenon. However,
under normal conditions of life, we observe that the cells at the
actually grow old and die in large numbers. For an infinite
continuation of life all conditions must be favorable. When the cells are potentially immortal, as scientists now think,
and the organism as a complex of aging, it is obvious that one of the two
is true. Or functional specialization of cell
groups - the body's organs is irrelevant or absent
coordination of cell groups in the body. Perhaps there are
both these factors. If one or both of these assumptions are true,
the question arises: is the discrepancy between the specialization or
discrepancy Coordination primary (initial) state
life or whether it (inconsistency) is the result of
installed and removable causes? If this initial state,
we can not hope to prevent more than a short
period of time the process of aging, beginning in most
cases quite early. But if it is caused by reasons that
can be avoided or eliminated, which seems likely, then we
able to do much to prevent aging. At least the countless experiments in many lower forms
Experience has shown that one can not only delay the aging process
on an infinitely long time, but also to reverse it, to restore
youth. More than 15 years, Professor KM Cheyld University of Chicago
investigated the aging animals. His results
pointed out that periodic fasting is usually contributes
rejuvenation of the body. By studying certain types of insects, he found that the abundant
food insect life lasts 3-4 weeks, but if the number of
food is much reduced, or to compel insects to starve
they will stay active and young at least 3
year. Here is his conclusion: "Partial starvation prevents
aging. Starving is transferred from the coming of age in primary
postembryonic state, he was almost born again. " Cheyld pointed out that in the organic world is the rejuvenation
no more than the usual process of cell renewal. This
process is continuous throughout the life of any organism. Similar studies were conducted by the Institute
Physiology of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. with the help of a special regime
power they "rejuvenated" two-year rat to a state
characteristic of the age of three months. English biologist Clive
McKay has made lengthening life span of mice by 1,5 times with two
hungry days a week, and reduce food intake by a third
allowed to increase their life 2 times. 130
130In our country, some interesting experiments on rejuvenation of animals
spent a wonderful doctor Suren Arakelyan. According to him,
"Elderly" chicken past starvation, again began to bear
eggs, they have restored the pen cap and voice became
above and younger, and her body graceful, slender. Here is a picture that
Suren Arakelyan Avakovich saves since his experiment. in his hands two "older" sister-laying hens. One hungry, the other -
no. After photographing my sister-eater lived only one month,
and rejuvenation of the chicken - another six years. Was something to wonder: from
Thousands of retired-age birds, nine hundred and ten every day
delayed egg. But not simple! Egg weighed 68 grams, and
laid by pullets - only forty-eight. Biochemical analysis
confirmed: and the quality of the eggs better. Feared that the famine will
birds to death, but the contrary, they began to live much longer: the average
Eighteen years instead of six-tempered nature. Specific term
life was extended three times! A chicken named Belle lived up to
fantastic age - up to twenty-one years. For a man
the same proportion as the same age would be equal to two hundred and forty -
two hundred and fifty years. After the chickens Arakelian took up bull high-value species. The early years of their short - only four years. And then - on the meat. Bulls
went on a hunger diet, but the water took antistress
complex preparation. Stress - because the usual
hunger pushes the animal in a painful, restless state. Taking these substances, as the bulls would not notice the hunger. So
lasted twenty days. Bulls lose weight, losing 15-20% of live
mass, but these were temporary loss weight soon returned, and
with it specific reproductive opportunities. Total
- Life expectancy at monthly rest bulls once a year
with fasting increases by 3 times! Failure to keep a youth due to factors
nuisance ideal process run the update. Any
removal of these impeding factors at any age leads
to a shift - for renewal and youth. It should, however, acknowledge that there are clear limits
opportunities to rejuvenate the person. in the tissues of the human
organism may occur irreversible changes, and attempts
resolve their similar attempts to grow a new leg after
she was lost. Many lower forms of living beings, and
Some of them are very complex organisms
have the ability to grow new members or domestic
agencies (even new heads, brains and eyes), and their possible
rejuvenation is much wider than the more highly
organisms. But a person can be rejuvenated to a much greater
than we thought. Until now, we can assume a fair
assertion that the greater the number and degree of pathological
changes in the human body, the less possible
131
131its rejuvenation. The older the body becomes, the less
he possibility of restoring youth. However, I do not think that
the greatest opportunity to rejuvenate by starvation Need
only to people of both sexes in old age. Starvation also
extremely important for younger people as a means of circulation

can use fasting to prevent destructive

Chinese, countless Philippine, Vietnamese, and Korean will say
"I care for my skin and hair naturally." For skin you will find that your radiance will show in 24 to 48 hours. Wrinkles will shrink in the first 48 hours to three months
with minimum of 5 days per week usage. Dark or "age" spots will start vanishing in one month. Moles, birth marks may lighten or vanish dependent on largeness and age. As to hair. Your sheen will become brilliant in a few days. Manageability should come in a week. Your gray hair should be gone in six months. Eyes should have new warm urine soaked cotton pads
placed in the eye socket and left for ten to fifteen minutes. This will tighten your skin around your eyes
and rid your crows feet without plastic surgery. Cataracts have been shown to dissolve
if you allow some drops to fall into the eyeball daily. Please understand that dependent on how acidic or salty your
urine is and how old it is by minutes will determine if there will
be a stinging feeling in the eye. Just remember there has been found no
future problem if the urine is used warm and new. Only a stinging sensation when over ten minutes or salty because of eating
meat or drinking alcohol, sodas or sugar products. Yes, I almost forgot if you have breathing constrictions, asthma,
just put your nose close to a cup of urine and sniff the Aroma. Better yet, put a few sprays from a mist bottle. Don't have a mist bottle or sprayer? Somehow get a few drops into your nasal passage
by way of a pipette dropper or a cotton ball and just lay down
and squeeze it into your nasal passage. 23 Neeb soft banbs;
Wash them every morning after you showered off your nightcap and facial. Remember you need not use soap on your face or hands. Just rinse off. It's sterile, it's clean, it's free and as natural as you can get. Now the "washing of your hands in the morning and also evening will give
you very soft skin to the touch usually after one week. { Unless you are an auto mechanic. Give it two weeks}. Just keep the understanding of when you were totally submerged
in the amniotic fluid before birth. Now the Cueme De La Cueme. As you read you will not believe till you try. Many cosmetic companies have tried. I can't release names of who
produces this but many products of creams are urine derivatives. Just slap on PURE WARM NEW URINE as a cologne or perfume. The skin match will allow your pheromones to go into high drive. This is something all cosmetic companies have tried to do for decades. They never could because all skin hormone release is different, private. Different strokes for different folks. All personal.

I came across a book for which I realize is one of the most read books on
urine therapy of someone who truly had serious problems. She became a practitioner and had the most impressive good health return
to her. The book is entitled, "Your Own Perfect Medicine" by Martha Christy. She has an interesting story to tell. Ms. Christy was very sick for a very long time. Pelvic inflammatory disease,
ulcerative colitis, Chron's disease, chronic fatigue syndrome,
Hashimoto's disease, mononucleosis. She had severe kidney infections, two miscarriages, chronic cystitis,
severe candida, endometriosis, adrenal insufficiency, serious chronic ear
and sinus infections and food and chemical allergies. She had every possible medical test, many surgeries, and a deluge of
drugs. Then she tried all forms of alternative therapy such as Homeopathy, herbs,
mega-vitamins, juicing and liv-cell treatments in Mexico. After traditional medicine failed to work, she and her husband spent more
than $100,000.00 trying to get her well with alternative approaches. Nothing
worked. her husband found and brought home a small book that told of how many
people throughout the world had been cured of even the worst diseases
with a seemingly strange and secretive natural therapy. Soon afterwards, she began the therapy herself. From the first day she began, she received almost instantaneous relief
from her incurable constipation and fluid retention. Within a week, her severe abdominal and pelvic pain vanished. Her chronic cystitis an~ yeast infections (internal and external)
soon disappeared. Her food allergies, exhaustion, and digestive problems all began to heal. In only a few months, her colds, flu, sore throats and viral symptoms
disappeared. 26 Her hair had fallen out in clumps after her fifth surgery now became thick
and lustrous while her weight normalized, and her energy and strength
came back. After nearly 30 years of non-stop illness, Martha Christy was whole again. What was the therapy and methods that she had discovered? What was this therapy that can help seriously ill patients gain complete
remissions from their afflictions? What was it that she actually did? Well, she orally, topically and medicinally re-consumed her own urine. You must understand and recompile what society has taught us and now
realize that urine is not the substance we think it is. In Christy's book she explains...
Urine is not, the excess water from food and liquids that goes through the
intestines and is released from the body as "waste". When you eat, the food is eventually broken down in the stomach and
intestines into molecules. The molecules are then absorbed into tiny tubules in the intestinal wall and
finally passed through the tubes into the blood stream. The blood circulation of your body carries these food molecules and other
nutrients, along with critical immune defense and regulating elements, red
and white blood cells, antibodies, plasma, microscopic proteins,
hormones, enzymes, etc., which are all manufactured at different locations
in the body. The circulating blood then passes through the liver where toxins are
removed and later excreted from the body in the form of solid waste. Eventually, this now purified blood continues on to the kidneys. Blood enters the kidneys and is filtered through a complex and intricate
system of minute tubules called nephron through


you. God persists in of fering you wisdom to make the very best decisions. It is the dead of winter as I finish writing this book. During the many
months of writing, a pair of eagles—whom I’ve nicknamed Jack and Jill—
have been build ing a nest. Actu ally, they’re building what appears to be a
three-story condominium complex. At times I’ve seen only one of them doing the building. I’ve wondered
what happened to the other. Was he or she kicked out of the nest? Did theyhave a spat? W as there a divorce? Sometime later the other would show up, often carrying another branch
for the emer ging complex. Did he or she arrive with this gift to repair a
broken relationship? I don’ t know. As of today they are together. As of today they continue buildi ng, each
with respective responsibilities I don’t fully understand. What I know is I
have been shocked at their tenac ity. They have worked tirelessly throughout
the heat of summer, the cool breezes of fall, and now the freezing
temperatures of winter. They never stop. I’ve watched these majestic birds drag limbs ten times the length of
their bodies through the air to their nest-condo complex. With talons
clinging to their foundation material, flooring, and walls, they just keep
building, creating a nest for love to continue. I imagine Jack and Jill to be thrilled with their enterprise. Come spring,
if all goes according to plan, they’ll be raising a fine family on Puget
Sound. I imagine they love each other and are dedicated to loving each
other. Again, whether you choose to stay or leave, please continue to love. Create your own nest where you can love yourself and others. Persist in
your love. Love yourself well. Love others well. Love your mate, even if it
means from a distance. Maintain healthy boundaries, ensurin g safety, so
that you can love freely. The Path Forward
It is time to bring this book to a close. There is so much more I could
say, and I will wonder what I’ve forgotten. Is there a critical concept left
unsaid? I hope you will forgive me if I have not spoken strongly enough about a
particular issue. I hope you will understand I am writing about something
not fully understood. The path you are on is a relati vely new one. Many have gone before
you, but the path of recovery from narcissistic and emotional abuse is still
newly formed. Y ou are a trailblazer in every sense of the word. I hope you will let your voice be known. Teach friends, family,
churches, and communities about narcissistic and emotional abuse. Teachthe teachers. Teach the counselors who think they know what they’re
talking about, but are naive—including me. I wish you God’ s best in your path forward. OceanofPDF.comNOTES

, too, are the eternal Tao, invisibly
animating our tongues to speak, ears to hear, and eyes to see and experience
the manifest and the mystery. Consciously allowing this nameless mystery
is ultimately the way to practice the T ao. Does that mean putting yourself  in harm’ s way? Of course not. Does that
mean trusting the mystery at the moment you’re being mugged or
mistreated? Prob ably not. Does it mean never trying to change things? No. It does mean cultivating a practice of being in the mystery and allowing it
to flow through you unimpeded. It means permitting the paradox of being in
form at the same time that you allow the mystery to unfold. Do the Tao; find your personal ways of living in the mystery. As Lao-tzu
says in this 1st verse, “And the mystery itself is the doorway to allunderstanding.”
Here’ s my advice for translating this passage into daily pract ice in this
21st century:
First and for emost, enjoy the mystery! Let the world unfold without always attempting to figure it all out. Let
relationships just be, for exampl e, since everything is going to stretc h out in
Divine order. Don’ t try so hard to make something work—simply allow. Don’ t always toil at trying to understand your mate, your children, your
parents, your boss, or anyone else, because the Tao is working at all times. When expectations are shattered, practice allowing that to be the way it is. Relax, let go, allow, and recognize that some of your desires are about how
you think your world should be, rather than how it is in that moment. Become an astute observer... judge less and listen more. Take time to
open your mind to the fascinating mystery and uncertainty that we all
experience. Practice letting go of always naming and labeling. The labeling process is what most of us were taught in school. We studied
hard to be able to define things correctly in order to get what we called
“high grades.” Most educati onal institutions insisted on identifying
everything, leading to a tag that distinguished us as graduates with
knowledge of specific categorie s. Yet we know, without anyon e telling us,
that there is no title, degree, or distinguishin g label that truly defines us. In
the same way that water is not the word water —any more than it is agua,
Wasser, or H2O—nothin g in this univers e is what it’s named. In spite of our
endless categori zations, each animal, flower, mineral, and human can never
truly be described. In the same way, the Tao tells us that “the name that can
be named is not the eternal name.” We must bask in the magnificence of
what is seen and sensed, instead of always memorizing and categorizing. Do the T ao Now
At some point today, notice an instance of annoyance or irritation you
have with another person or situation. Decide to do the Tao (or practice the
Way) in that moment by turning inward with curiosity about where you are
on the continuum between desire and allowing. Permit the paradox ofwanting the irritant to vanish and allowing it to be what it is. Look inward
for it in your thoughts and allow yourself to feel it wherever it is and
however it moves in your body. Turn all of your attention to becoming open-minded, allowing
permissiveness to befriend the mystery within yourself. Notice how the
feeling manifests itself: perhaps doing “loop-de-loops” in your stomach,
giving a rigidne ss to your skeleton, making your heart pound, or tightening
your throat. Wherever it is, allow it as an enigmatic messenger within you,
and give it nonjudgmental attention. Notic e the desire for the feeling to
disappear, and allow it to be monitored compassionately by you. Accept
whatever comes. Encounter the myst ery within without labeling,
explaining, or defending. It’s a subtle distinction at first, which you must
take personal responsibility for identifying. You alone can prepare the
ground of your being for the experience of living the mystery. OceanofPDF.comOceanofPDF.com2nd Verse
Under heaven all can see beauty as beauty,
only because ther e is ugliness. All can know good as good only because ther e is evil. Being and nonbeing pr oduce each other. The difficult is born in the easy. Long is defined by short, the high by the low. Befor e and after go along with each other. So the sage lives openly with appar ent duality
and paradoxical unity. The sage can act without effort
and teach without wor ds. Nurturing things without possessing them,
he works, but not for r ewar ds;
he competes, but not for r esults. When the work is done, it is for gotten. That is why it lasts for ever. OceanofPDF.comLiving the
Paradoxical Unity
The concept of something or someone being beautiful is grounded in a
belief system that promotes duality and judgment. This way of thinking  is
prevalent and commonplace for just about everybody in our culture,
perhaps even having some value in society. I encourage you to explore the
concept of paradoxical unity in this 2nd verse of the Tao Te Ching. By
changing your thoughts, you can change your life and truly live the bliss of
oneness. Has it ever occurred to you that beauty depends on someth ing being
identified as ugly? Therefore, the idea of beauty produces the idea of
ugliness, and vice versa. Just think of how many concepts in this “duality
belief system” depend on opposites: A person isn’t tall unless there’ s a
belief system that includes short. Our idea of life couldn’ t exist without that
of death. Day is the opposite of night. Male is the antithesis of female. What if you instead perceived all as a piece (or a glimpse) of the
perfection of oneness? I think this is what Lao-tzu is suggesting with his
description of the sage who “lives openly with apparent duality and
paradoxical unity.” Imagine the perfect oneness coexisting in the apparent
duality, where opposites are simply judgments made by human minds in the
world of 10,000  things. Surely the daffodil doesn’ t think that the daisy is
prettier or uglier than it is, and the eagle and the mouse have no sense of the
opposites we call life and death. The trees, flowers, and animals know not
of ugliness or beauty; they simply are... in harmony with the eternal Tao,
devoid of judgment. As the sage lives openly with apparent duality, he synthesizes the origin
with the manifestation without forming an opinion about it. Living without
judgment and in perfect onenes s is what Lao-tzu invites his readers to do. He invites our wisdom to combine perceived opposites  and live a unified
life. The perfect ion of the Tao is allowing apparent duality while seeing the
unity that is reality. Life and death are identical. Virtue and sin are
judgments, needing both to identify either. These are the paradoxes of aunified life; this is living within the eternal Tao. Once the dichotomies or
pairs of opposites are transcended, or at least seen for what they are, they
flow in and out of life like the tides. Practice being a living, breathing paradox every moment of your life. The
body has physical boundaries—it begins and ends and has material
substance. Yet it also contains something that defies boundaries, has no
substance, and is infinite and formless. You are both the Tao and the 10,000
things simultane ously. Let the contrasting and opposite ideas be within you
at the same time. Allow yourself to hold those opposite thoughts without
them canceling each other out. Believe strongly in your free will and ability
to influe nce your surroundings, and simultaneously surrender to the energy
within you. Know that good and evil are two aspects of a union. In other
words, accept the duality of the material world while still remaining in
constant contact with the oneness of the eternal Tao. The debilitating
necessity to be right and make others wrong will diminish. I believe that Lao-tzu would apply the Tao Te Ching to today’ s world by
suggesting the following:
Live a unified life. Enter the world of oneness with an awareness of the propensity to
compartmentalize everything as good or bad, right or wrong. Beautiful or
ugly are standards of the phys ical world, not the Tao. Cont emplate the
insight that duality is a mind game. In other words, people look the way
they look, period—criticism is not always necessary or helpful. See the
unfolding of the Tao inside everyone, including yourself, and be at peace
with what you observe. Be a good animal and move freely, unencumbered with thoughts about
where you should be and how you should be acting. For instance, imagine
yourself as an otter just living your “otterness.” You’re not good or bad,
beautiful or ugly, a hard worker or a slacker... you’re simply an otter,
moving through  the water or on the land freely, peacefully, playfully, and
without judgments. When it’s time to leave your body, you do so,
reclaiming your place in the pure mystery of on


of	dying	in	the	frost. Locusts	buried	seven	years	in	the	ground	know	that	it	is
time	to	creep	forth. How	can	all	this	happen	from	a	little	tilt?”
Before	I	could	hazard	a	guess,	he	said,	“I’m	going	to	show	you. Imagine	that
you	are	a	bird. You	don’t	think	about	spring;	you	don’t	think	in	words	at	all. How	do	you	know	that	it’s	time	to	fly	north	again	and	mate?”
“Spring	fever?”
“Good	enough,”	said	Baba. “Let’s	call	it	an	impulse	that	happens	only	in	the
spring. One	impulse	seems	to	strike	every	creature. The	locust,	the	polar	bear,the	flower,	and	the	bird	live	far	apart,	but	they	feel	the	same	impulse	in	their
own	way. Even	in	the	darkest	depths	of	the	ocean,	where	sunlight	never
reaches,	the	horseshoe	crab	knows	that	it’s	time	to	march	hundreds	of	miles	to
shore,	and	on	one	single	moonlit	night	millions	of	horseshoe	crabs	appear	at
once. Amazing. “Sending	that	impulse	is	what
something
	is	doing. It
	holds	life	together. That’s	its	job. But	now	we	can	stop	calling	it
something,
”	said	Baba. “Once
you	know	what	the	invisible	force	does,	you	can	call	it	by	its	rightful	name.”
“Which	is	what?”	I	asked. “The	soul.”
W
HAT
	I	L
EARNED
People	have	millions	of	things	to	say	about	the	soul,	but	Baba	focused	on	just
one:	The	soul	is	the	glue	of	the	universe. It’s	not	just	sticky	glue;	it’s
intelligent. The	universe	is	held	together	in	three	invisible	ways:
Everything	is	connected. Everything	looks	out	for	everything	else. Everything	is	in	harmony	with	the	whole. Your	body	is	a	living	example	of	how	these	three	things	work. A	single	cell
that	isn’t	connected,	that	selfishly	looks	out	only	for	itself,	and	that	refuses	to
be	in	harmony	with	the	whole	turns	into	a	cancer. One	rogue	cell	among
billions	is	enough	to	destroy	the	entire	scheme	of	life. The	body’s	intelligence
breaks	down,	and	that	is	far	more	devastating	than	physical	harm. Fortunately,
such	runaway	cells	are	very	uncommon,	less	than	one	in	a	million,	and	the
huge	majority	of	these	rogues	do	not	survive. The	body’s	inner	intelligence
knows	exactly	how	life	should	be	regulated	for	maximum	survival. Baba	didn’t	say	that	the	invisible	glue	must	be	called	the	soul. Other	terms
have	come	down	through	the	ages:	spirit,	God,	the	divine	spark,	the	breath	of
life. Often	I	use	the	word
essence
. When	you	reduce	anything	to	its	purest
form,	you	have	its	essence. An	armful	of	roses	can	be	reduced	to	half	an
ounce	of	pure	rose	essence. There	are	billions	of	people	living	totally	different
lives. Yet	soul	or	spirit	is	the	purest	part	of	being	alive,	no	matter	who	youare. It’s	your	essence. It’s	strange	that	this	essence	is	so	hard	to	find. When	we	go	around	looking
for	it,	we’re	like	fish	looking	everywhere	for	water	but	never	seeming	to	find
it. I	imagine	the	first	fish	to	discover	water	happened	to	jump	out	of	the
ocean. Maybe	a	shark	was	chasing	it,	and	the	fish	got	desperate. When	it
splashed	back	into	the	sea,	the	fish	had	a	thrilling	moment	of
Aha! So	that’s
where	the	water	is. I’ve	been	swimming	in	it	all	my	life	and	never	knew
. That’s	what	Baba	did	for	me. Like	a	fish	splashing	back	into	the	sea,	I
discovered	that	I’d	been	living	with	spirit,	inside	and	out,	all	my	life. It’s
everywhere,	making	sure	that	everything	is	connected. The	light	from	a	star
billions	of	light-years	away	is	the	same	light	that	makes	plants	grow	here	on
Earth. The	plants	give	food;	the	food	allowed	you	to	develop	in	your	mother’s
womb;	and	today	you	look	at	those	stars	with	the	eyes	that	the	stars	gave	you. There’s	the	cosmic	connection. Did	you	know	that	with	every	breath	you	breathe,	you
	take	in	millions	of
atoms	breathed	out	yesterday	by	someone	in	China? Those	atoms	were	in
another	body	circulating	in	the	blood	or	building	a	cell	or	perhaps	making	a
baby	Without	knowing	it,	you	are	connected	to	a	baby	who	hasn’t	even	been
born	yet. The	water	in	your	body	has	the	same	salt	and	mineral	content	as	the
ocean,	which	means	you	are	carrying	the	ocean	around	inside	you. The	skin
cells	that	you	rubbed	off	with	a	towel	this	morning	when	you	stepped	out	of
the	shower	contain	molecules	that	were	once	in	the	body	of	Jesus	and	Buddha
and	every	other	holy	figure	from	the	past. So	rejoice	in	the	cosmic	connection. See	yourself	on	a	beautiful	spring	day
You	are	full	of	new	life	and	energy	The	day	feels	perfect. Inside	you	a	spark	is
gleaming,	and	you	suddenly	know	for	sure	that	you	are	alive	in	a	world	that	is
your	home. At	that	moment	you	are	truly	tuned	in. Baba	taught	me	never	to
forget	that	feeling	of	being	connected	to	everything. And	he	was	just	getting	started.Soul	Training
L
et’s	move!”	Baba	said,	jumping	to	his	feet. The	old	man	had	been	sitting	so
still	in	his	cross-legged	pose	that	he	seemed	to	be	planted	in	the	earth	like	the
twisted	tree	itself. Now	I	had	to	run	to	catch	up	with	him. “You’re	going	into	training,”	he	called	over	his	shoulder. “What	kind	of	training?”	I	asked. He	was	taking	me	to	a	green	meadow	that
fringed	the	woods. “The	best	kind,”	he	said. “Soul	training. Not	many	can	teach	it,	so	you	must
be	very,	very	lucky. Did	you	know	you	were	that	lucky?”
“Not	really.”	I	wasn’t	sure	if	he	was	teasing	me. Baba	found	a	spot	in	the	middle	of	the	meadow	and	looked	around. “This	is
good,”	he	said. “Lie	down	right	there.”
I	got	flat	on	my	back	in	the	tall	grass,	wondering	what	would	come	next. “Now	gaze	at	the	sky,”	said	Baba. “Do	you	see	the	sun?”
“Sure.”	With	the	morning	mist	burned	away,	the	sun	was	right	above	me. Baba	took	his	hands	and	placed	them	over	my	eyes. “Now	can	you	see	the
sun?”	he	asked. “No,	of	course	not.”
“Session	over,”	he	said,	looking	pleased,	as	if	I	had	done	something
extremely	promising. I	protested. “What	kind	of	training	was	that? Nothing	happened.”
Baba	was	always	happiest	when	he	had	me	a	little	off	balance—I	was
learning	that	quick	enough. He	said,	“When	you	cover	your	eyes,	you	can’t
see	the	sun,	but	you	still	know	it’s	there. Nothing	has	happened	to	it,	right?”“So	far


 herpes is a formulation consisting of a
5% solution of idoxuridine in various concentrations combined with DMSO. A small amount of the idoxuridine–DMSO solution was painted on the herpetic lesions of 16  patients, and details of the progress of the lesions were recorded daily by an observer in a double-blind manner. 58
The duration of the attack until the arrest of lesion was 1.2 days in the group
receiving idoxuridine–DMSO and 2.45 in those receiving only DMSO. Thus, there seemed to be a synergistic action when using idoxuridine–DMSO solution as opposed
to DMSO alone. Both drugs were more effective than no treatment. 58 This study
has been replicated many times following results from a study by Spruance et al.,59
which showed significant acceleration of healing in herpes labialis lesions when

301 immunocompetent patients were treated with a solution of 15% idoxuridine–80%
DMSO solution. Idoxuridine–DMSO preparation has been approved for herpes
 zoster in Canada and Europe.60
Another antiviral agent tested for the treatment of herpes simplex infection is
topically administered acyclovir in polyethylene glycol (Acy-PEG). A comparison of this Acy-PEG ointment preparation was made versus acyclovir–DMSO ointment in excised human and guinea pig skin. 61 Results from this study established that Acy-
PEG formulation penetrates human skin very slowly.61 This result was attributed to
PEG inefficacy since the preparation using acyclovir–DMSO ointment was signifi -
cantly more effective. A more consistent interpretation of this study is that DMSO appears to exert antiviral activity by itself since it was found that acyclovir ointment alone had only limited therapeutic benefit. 61 There is, in fact, corroboration for this
latter conclusion from another independent study done in Spain. That study reports that although DMSO has been regarded as a useful excipient
that can carry active antiviral agents across membranes to increase penetration into tissues of these agents, findings show that DMSO may express antiviral activity by itself. 62 Rabbit skin fibroblasts were used to grow the recombinant HSV-1 and Vero
cells to analyze the action of DMSO.62 DMSO was able to block productive infection
in HSV-1 in Vero cells when administered after virus adsorption. DMSO appears to cause this block in HSV-1 production by acting at different sites with positive cooperativity, as suggested by the Hill numbers of the inhibition curves. 62 The results
indicated that DMSO inhibits HSV-1 viral DNA synthesis in vitro, blocked the sta -
bility and maturation of the free virion, and also reduced the levels of a number of viral transcripts. 62 Thus, it was concluded from this study that DMSO may possess
antiviral activity by previously undisclosed inhibitory mechanisms. This important finding should be considered in relation to how herpes infec -
tions can progress to serious disorders. Although most of herpes infections are mild, they can lead to lethal encephalitis, and this virus accounts for 20% of all reported encephalitis cases. 63
To our knowledge, there are no studies that have used DMSO either as an adju -
vant or as a primary therapy in human viral encephalitis. Paradoxically, DMSO with acyclovir has been used for the prophylaxis and therapy of equine herpes virus type 1 (EHV-1) infection, which can cause myeloencephalopathy and death in horses. 64,65
Since DMSO has been used as a solubilizing and penetrant carrier for other antivi -
ral agents for such conditions as rabies and viral-induced myocarditis,66,67 it is logical
and justified to reappraise the potential antiviral activity by DMSO in the interest of drug safety since many of the antiviral agents on the market have adverse effects that could be avoided by considerably lowering their dose when combined with DMSO. DMSO is a frequently used solvent and penetrant carrier through the skin for
antifungal drugs. DMSO is recommended to dissolve antifungals with poor aque -
ous solubility, but recently, DMSO has gained attention for drugs that are currently prepared in water. Using DMSO to prepare all approved antifungals would increase the consistency
of the methods for drug preparation listed in the current Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines and could help avoid precipitation of the antifungal agents, which would impair their efficacy. 68111 DMSO in Basic Microbiology
DMSO by itself has shown effectiveness against the strains of many fungi that
cause skin, hair, and nail infections, including trichophyton, epidermophyton, and
microsporum at dose-dependent concentrations of 1%–10%.69 Trichophyton is a skin
infection that causes athlete’s foot, ringworm, jock itch, and similar dermatophyte infections of the nail, beard, skin, and scalp, while epidermophyton and microspo -
rum affect hair, skin, and nails. 70
DMSO was evaluated in vitro  at a 2% concentration against an assortment
of Candida species and was observed to slow the growth of all Candida isolates tested. 71
Antifungal activity by DMSO was also observed recently at concentrations
between 0.5% and 1% against six yeast species, including Candida  species.72
The antifungal effects of DMSO are especially important in the geriatric popu -
lation due to the higher prevalence of seborrheic dermatitis, mucosal and cutane -
ous candidiasis, tinea pedis, and onychomycosis found in this group of patients.73
Treatment of these elderly people with dermatophytoses and yeast infections should depend on the patient’s medication list to avoid potential drug interactions and whether topical or systemic therapy is indicated. 73

  Acknowledgments
First, last, and always, I want to
acknowledge the Source of everything that
is in this book,  everything that is life —and
of life itself. Second, I want to thank my spiritual
teachers, who include the saints and sages
of all  religions. Third, it is clear to me that all of us could
produce a list of people who have touched
our lives  in ways so meaningful and so
profoundly as to defy categorization or
description; people  who have shared with
us their wisd om, told us their truth, suffered
us our faults and our  foibles in their infinite
patience, and who have seen us through all
of it; seeing the best in us  there was to see. People who, in their acceptance of us, as well as their refusal to accept the  parts of
us they knew we really didn’t choose,
caused us to grow; to get bigger somehow. The people, in addition to my parents, who
have been there for me in that way include
Samantha Gorski, Tara -Jenelle Walsch,
Wayne Davis, Bryan Walsch, Martha
Wright, the  late Ben Wills, Jr., Roland
Chambers, Dan Higgs, C. Berry Carter II,
Ellen Moyer, Anne  Blackwell, Dawn
Dancing Free, Ed Keller, Lyman W. (Bill)
Griswold, Elisabeth Kübler -Ross,  and dear,
dear Terry Cole - Whittaker. I want to include in this group my former
mates, whose privacy I wish to respect by
not naming them here, but whose
contributions to my life are deeply grasped
and appreciated. And as gratitude for the gifts I have
received from all these wonderful people
swells my  heart, I am especially wa rmed by
the thought of my helpmate, spouse, and

that a vital factor in the amazing longevity of the people
(many over 110–120) of Hunzaland is distilled water. They eat most of their fr uits and vegetables raw, raised
in organic soil. Fruits and vegetables, of course, are 90%
distilled water – nature’ s own distillation, as you say. Along with that,they drink glacier water, which is low in
inorganic minerals. Their main beverage is an organic
grape drink, which again is distilled water. So the


 There is only one specific case in
which they can be useful, namely in easing the extreme pain of bone cancers or bone metastases,
which are difficult to control and heal more slowly than malignancies in soft tissues. In order to
help the patient, a very few (sometimes just 3-5) radiation treatments are used to stop the advance
of the tumor and alleviate the pain. Radiation is preferable to pain management with drugs,
which—being toxic—interfere with healing. Since radiotherapy makes drugs unnecessary, the
bone can heal and the pain does not return. 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 142Healing the Gerson Way—Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases

Since about 1960, chemotherapy has been one of the main tools of orthodox cancer therapy. It has many varieties, but they all have one thing in common: they are highly toxic. The purpose
of using them is to kill cancer cells and thus eradicate malignant tumors. However, no form of
chemotherapy exists that doesn’t also kill healthy cells. The way these toxic chemicals are supposed to work is by interfering with the metabolism of
malignant cells and stopping their rapid division. They do this; but there are other cells and tissues
in the human body that also divide rapidly, namely the bone marrow, which among other things
produces the white blood cells essential to immunity, the mucous membranes of the intestinal
wall, and the hair follicles. These are seriously damaged by the chemotherapy’s toxins, resulting
in reduced immune function, nausea, vomiting, intestinal bleeding, mouth ulcers and loss of
hair. Eventually the damage becomes much wore. Patients report loss of memory, children have
learning difficulties. Heart, lung and kidney damage have been reported, together with a much
higher incidence of infections. Chemotherapy drugs are subject to constant innovations, often motivated by financial
considerations. One of the latest drugs, Gemzar, that had originally been accepted for the
treatment of lung and breast cancer, has now also been cleared for use in advanced ovarian
cancer. There is no evidence to show that this drug extends life; on the other hand it worsens the
side effects of previously used chemotherapy drugs; however, it is very expensive. Recent reports
state that one course of Gemzar treatment, consisting of six doses given over six months, costs
about US$12,600. Chemotherapy can claim a few triumphs, achieving true cures. But these are limited to rare
and special cancers, such as for instance women’s cancer of pregnancy, called choriocarcinoma. A
type of lymphatic cancer known as Burkitt’s lymphoma, found mostly in certain areas of Africa,
has also been cured in some 50% of cases. An additional area of success has been the control of
many acute childhood leukemias, where some 50% of child patients survived over five years. Testicular cancer is also claimed to be curable, and indeed a good number of recoveries are on
record. Unfortunately these successes only refer to rare kinds of malignancy. The most common
types, such as breast, prostate, lung cancer, and more recently colon cancer, have not shown a
good response, even though chemotherapy is almost always administered in such cases. A telling and alarming summary of the use of chemotherapy in late cases was given as long
ago as 1972 by Dr. Victor Richards in his book, Cancer—the Wayward Cell: Its Origins, Nature,
and Treatment (Berkeley,University of California Press, 1972). In his book Richards states that
while even palliation  (pain relief and mild tumor shrinkage) occurs only “for brief duration in
about 5 to 10% of the cases, chemotherapy serves an extremely valuable role in keeping patients
oriented toward proper medical therapy, and prevents the feeling of being abandoned by the

www.thegersonway.comphysician. These potentially useful drugs may also prevent the spread of cancer quackery...”
Deploring the use of chemotherapy, Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D., writes in his book, The Cancer
Industry: Unravelling the Politics,  Paragon House, New York, 1989: “In Richards’ view it is
worthwhile to risk putting patients through possible nausea, vomiting, dizziness, hair loss, mouth
sores, and even premature death simply in order to keep them ‘oriented toward proper medical
therapy’ and away from ‘cancer quackery.’” In other words stopping them from looking for help
other than what is provided by orthodox medicine. In most chemotherapy drug packages the
warning states that this very drug is known to cause cancer. The seriousness of chemotherapy’s toxic effects may be best seen in an oncology nurses’
manual. It warns nurses who only prepare the drugs for administration that they may experience
“significant risk” of damage to the skin, reproductive abnormalities, hematologic (blood system)
problems, and liver and chromosomal lesions. Nurses are also instructed “to never eat, drink,
smoke, or apply cosmetics in the drug-preparation area.” (From Questioning Chemotherapy, by
Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D., Equinox Press, 2000.) Breast Implants
These are the choice of some breast cancer patients, mainly for cosmetic reasons, but they
can have serious health consequences. Of course it is understandable that post-mastectomy
patients wish to make up for the loss of one or both breasts. However, there are risks in the
procedure, depending on what materials are used for it. The worst choice is a silicone-filled pad,
which has been known to burst and release the silicone into the surrounding tissues. In one case
we have seen this caused serious toxicity in the entire chest area, as well as migraine headaches
and extreme weakness, to the point where the patient became bedfast. The Gerson treatment
cleared most of the trouble: the patient got rid of the migraines, regained her energy and was able
to function normally. If other fillers are used, bursting is less of a problem, except that the implant is still a foreign
material, which the body attempts to reject. It cannot do so, since the implant remains firmly in
place; this in turn causes constant irritation, which is particularly dangerous for patients who had
mastectomies for breast cancer. Weighing up the pros and cons of implants, it stands to reason that
cosmetic considerations are less important than the avoidance of a recurrence. Household Help
The only serious drawback of the Gerson treatment is that it is highly work-intensive, almost
the equivalent of a full time job. Much time, energy and sustained effort is needed to produce
10-13 eight-ounce glasses of freshly made juice a day every hour on the hour, besides preparing

www.thegersonway.comthree daily meals and coffee concentrate for enemas, plus securing the constant supply of large
amounts of organic produce needed for the smooth running of the program. The produce needs
to be washed and prepared for juicing and cooking, salads and vegetables have to be made ready
as near mealtimes as possible in order to safeguard their freshness—and of course all this is
accompanied by the constant washing of dishes. Moreover, this daily routine, taking up nearly
eight hours, must continue non-stop seven days a week. Obviously seriously ill patients, or even less ill ones, cannot cope with such a demanding
schedule. Irrespective of their condition, patients must rest if they are to heal. This cannot be
repeated too often, for many people, especially members of the patient’s family are not clear
about this. Healing, the body’s heroic effort to defeat disease requires energy; a sick person’s
already diminished energy must be reserved for that. In other words, a whole person is needed to fulfill the Therapy’s requirements. In many cases
a spouse or some other family member is willing and able to do the work, but the intensity of the
non-stop tasks will soon exhaust a single person. In this case a kitchen helper has to be hired and
trained. In fact it is best to have two helpers, each one working several days a week. Choosing the right helper is important. It is unwise to engage a nurse trained in allopathic
medicine, since she might not approve of the nutritional regime and could try to add items of
her choice. Likewise, a ‘gourmet cook’ would probably find the Gerson way of food preparation
difficult to handle. The ideal choice would be a kind and open-minded person, willing to be
trained in the exact requirements of the job. Some patients have found it helpful to approach
their Church to provide volunteers. The best way is to arrange for several volunteers to schedule
continuous assistance, so that they take turns if one or the other is unable to attend. Since the hourly preparation of juices with all the other tasks keeps the helper busy, a cleaner
may also be needed once or twice a week.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

 think this one of the hardest things for us in the try-to-get-ahead-of-the-
other -guy, comp etitive-oriented W est to grasp. Y et we must try to get to the
point wh ere the dif ferences in other people are to be respected a nd honored,
accepted for what they are rather than treated as contests. Bringing in a
spiritual, right-brained, intuitive kind of approach isn’ t going t o make you
wimpy, weak, or less profitab le; in fact, it will bring you peace and
harmony. It will give you a sense of knowing what you’re about and why
you’re here, and that lack of the need to be right or to win or to put
somebody else down frees you up to do better. I hav e moved m uch more in this direction in my own life. I don’ t need to
make a contest out of every dif ference I have with others; instead, I
recognize those variations and look toward solutions. I dance with, even
enjoy, th e disco rd rather than tr eat it as something that shouldn ’ t be there. Since I’ ve given up some of my attachments to having to be right and
embarked upon a path of sending out love and peace and ha rmony and
contentment, I’v e never had more “success” come into my life. My books
and audio programs are very popular. The demand for my lectures has
increased, and people are inviting me to do things that never even came to
me before, such as create my own television shows and write plays. Success
as v iewed in an external fashion, as an achievement, has certai nly gone up
for me. Y et I’m talking about going beyond all of that. Again, the great irony is that wh en we get focused on following our bliss
and being in the service of others, all those things that w e seek so
desperately—the success, the achievement, the performance—seem toarrive in our lives in great amounts. But as long as we fin d ourselves
pushing for, demanding, chasing after, and striving for them, they will never
arrive. T he only  vehicle that’ s a vailable to take us from striving  to arriving
is detachment and acceptance. A NEW KIND OF APPROACH
When yo u are enlightened, you no longer see yourself as separated from
higher c onsciousness. Instead, y ou see it as what you are. The n you start
having dramatic new changes in your life. That old focus on accumulatio n and having to get things done is no
longer th ere, so  you become m uch more peaceful. Then after a while you
realize that Everything that I’m doing is all right. Even when I mess up,
even wh en the deal doesn’ t go t hr ough, ther e’ s something to learn. Ther e’ s
an opportunity in that obstacle or in that failur e.  Y ou get this incredible
peace with all the things that you’re doing. Y ou see that this world of form is all an illusion and that  you are
destroying yourself with things that aren’ t even real. Why should you
concern yourself  with whether this person likes you or doesn’ t, whether you
get that money o r not, and all that? Y ou can’ t do anything with t hat anyway. Y ou tell yourself, I’m going to sto p messing myself up. I won’ t even think
like that any longer. Be fore long, instead of being full of anger and
disharmony, yo u become full of acceptance. Y ou have a n ew kind of
approach to all that you’re doing  in your life, and the only thing that matters
is love. Deep inside you—in that special place where you know that you are
thought and thought is you, and you are a higher consciousness—you feel
more productive  and less consumed with what other people a re thinking. Y ou find  yourse lf moving away from all the stuf f that used to  be such an
important part of your life, trying to get this one to like you a nd trying to
please that one, or being in an overbearing or controlling relati onship. Y ou
leave tha t all behind. Y ou avoid confrontation and conflict becau se that isn’ t
you any longer. Y ou’re much more peaceful with everything. After a while, you look for the beauty in what others do, and you see it in
everybody. Somebody will cut you of f on the freeway, somebo dy will yellat you, somebod y will be obnoxious toward you, somebody w ill not pay
their debt toward you—any number of things that at one time would have
driven you absolutely insane—and you understand, That’ s w her e the y ar e
on the path. Y ou know that everything that happens to you and everybody
you run into in your life are gifts. They teach you something abo ut yourself. Y ou think, All t hose people ar e just tests for me to see whether I can, in
fact, send them something positive and useful and not let them get to me. The minute a n egative person starts getting to you, what you’ve really
done is given up control of your life to them. Y ou’ve communicated that
their opinions of you are more i mportant than your own are. If you see that
person for where they are on the path, recognizing that the way they behave
has nothing to do with you, then you’re not going to ma ke yourself
miserable becau se they choose to act toward you in that way. Before long,
you can turn those kinds of people around. T ake three people looking at a given situation: one of them sees the
anger, an other one sees the hostility, and another one sees the lo ve behind it
all. The person who sees the lov e behind the encounter, wherever it may be,
has a much better chance of not only getting what they wa nt but also
helping to turn others around. For example, think of an airport, where there
are a lot of people fighting over how they’re going to get seated on a plane. I have found myself in a similar  situation to this many times. There will be
several people acting aggressively toward a clerk who is trying to do her
best and  be as polite as she can. But the person who is antagonistic can only
see the antagonism in another person. I’ll be admiring how well the attendant is handling all of th e people
giving her a hard  time. I recognize what a kind person she is and how she’ s
trying to  do her absolute best. When it’ s my turn to get up the re, I’ll say,
“W ow, y ou’re re ally having to struggle. Y ou sure have to put u p with a lot
when you do a job like this, but you handle it so well and don’ t lose your
cool.” Y ou know what? She will often go out of her way for me. I might get
moved up to firs t class, get the very seat that I want, or simply b e rewarded
with a genuine smile. When y ou’re looking for the g ood, you can make almost any situation
turn arou nd for you. After a whi le, this becomes a habit, and you don’ t even
see the negative because you don’ t have that in you. On freeways, you wave
to people and thank them for letting you in. Y ou expect that somebody will
let y ou in, but even if they do n’ t, you don’ t internalize that action. Y oudon’ t rant, “These people, who  do they think they are?” Y ou let it all go. Y ou let them go right by, and you look to the next person. Before long,
someone will put their hand ou t and let you in. Y ou smile an d say thank
you, and  you get what you want for yourself without having to be attached
or hang on to all the negativity that most people see. Y ou are living in the
light. Swami M ukundananda had a wonderful line. He said, “Enlightenment is
your ego ’ s great est disappointm ent.” This is certainly the truth, as it is the
language of the higher self, all the way. It is a sign that you  are totally
awake and aware, in touch with the Divine nature of who you really are. Y ou no longer need to try; you are. Y ou have arrived. CHAPTER 12
ENJOY HEA VEN ON EARTH
As we finish this book’ s journey, let’ s return to the course we charted at
the begi nning. If  you were able to suspend your disbelief and keep an open
mind, you may feel a kind of e xpansiveness as you pushed past the limits
you prev iously felt comfortable  with. Things that were once unavailable to
you, bas ed on the consciousness  you had when you first started reading this
book, pr obably feel within your grasp now. As we wrap things up now, I’d
like to illuminate some of the benefits you can expect once you are in tune
with the higher part of yourself, telling the ego to take a back seat. BLESSINGS OF THE HIGHER SELF
When you are t otally awake, aware, and enlightened, you receive some

, advertisers,retailers and prescribers of alcohol as abeverage. In his just opinion it is as wicked, oralmost as wicked, to advise unprofitableextravagance of any sort as it is to prescribepoison. To this discriminating philosopher food is the
basis of health-wealth, and sacred to its divineusefulness. The great harm that was done to the world by
the academic prescription of excessive proteinrations
 † was that it started a vicious circle of
extravagances which led as surely to untimelydeath as murder. The perpetrators of thispernicious prescription were innocent ofintention to do harm ; in fact, they were full of
* Dr. M. Hindhede: Copenhagen, Denmark. † Voit, Atwater, etc.the most generous of motives in issuing their
poisonous advice, and one of the mostprominent, at least, paid the penalty by dyingmiserably of his own fatal ignorance. I may also say that it is " presumption,"
advisably, for almost all prescriptions of foodwhich do not have their basis on the naturalbody calls are presumptuous. Nature knows! Ifgiven a chance to show her knowledge Natureprescribes rightly and delivers her message inthe form of appetite and the other instincts. Shewill do this in the midst of the most complicatedof artificial food mixtures, as I have reason to
know from personal experience, confirmed by
many others over and over again. Therefore, I may say more surely than ever,
that whatever
NATURE  PROVIDES  and PERMITS  as
NOURISHMENT  I HAVE  NO RIGHT  TO PRO SCRIBE. THE ONLY PRE SCRIPTION
that Honesty approves is the Optimum
Economic Nutrition; and my great preceptor,Dr. Hindhede, the ideally honest scientist anddoctor, ventures to prescribe only the plainest offoods that are delicious to a true, keen appetite,and cost the least through being in season and
so common and easy to grow as to be cheapest. This good and superlatively honest doctor
does not Proscribe anything that Nature
permits as food and he does not even Proscribe
the transportation of grapes from Madeira tothe North Cape of Norway for the enjoyment ofthose who can afford to pay for them. Would the Proscribers of flesh food have
denied Amundsen and his companions the fleshof their faithful dogs as a last resort in securingnourishment for the completion of their journeyto the South Pole? It was their truly last resortin gaining the victory over the Ice God ; andwould to God that brave Captain Scott and hisband of faithful ones had had such a last butsaving resort to help them accomplish theeleven miles between them and rescue! Butthen, the world would have missed a model ofaltruism that is worth a million lives, and one ofwhich million everybody would like to be, iftheir lives are worth the living. THE PROTEIN  ENTHUSIAST. While writing this chapter I have beenforwarded material for indignation and a text
for condemnation in the form of a book so full offood prescription that it is positively poisonous,as read with the intelligence of my own andcurrent knowledge of the subject, that it oughtto be pilloried as a " Horrible Example" ofpresumptuous prescription and proscription. Itis an advertisement pure and simple, but soprejudicial to the natural facts in the case thatit again raises the question of the advisability ofa Supreme Court of the Physiology of Nutrition,to try such nutrition perverters for high treasonto Mother Nature. I will not name the book or the author, to
further the advertisement. I once stopped acontroversy with the doctor-father of the authorby offering to wager him one hundred poundsthat I could beat him out on a ten mile go-as-you-please tramp, which he had mentioned asone of his stunts to prove his contentions. Ourages were nearly equal, and the difference oftraining consisted of his prescribing for himselfover 100 grams of proteid daily (less by 20 percent. than the vicious Voit* or Koenig
Standards, and less by 30 per cent. than theStandard that killed poor Professor Atwater),while I had subsisted for years on less than halfhis prescription. He warned me that I wascourting death, but that he was providing forhimself longevity by the mile. He got mad withme, and nearly fumed at the mouth, because Iassumed to insist that only Mother Nature wasa competent prescriber, intimating that he wasnot. I could not out-talk him, and so I sent hima challenge. He made the excuse that he wasleaving for the Continent for a rest, but wouldtalk further with me when he returned. Hisreputed forty-thousand-pound office practice ofprescribing his favourite dietaries had wornhim out and he was going for a rest. Later I
* Carl Voit, of Munich, prescribed as Standard daily diet for
a man doing moderate work : 118 grams of Protein, 56 grs. Fat,
500 grs. Carbohydrates, with a total fuel value of 3,055 large
calories; increasing the same to 145 grams Protein, 160 grs. Fat,450 grs. Carbohydrates, with a total fuel value of 3,370 large
calories. This is the celebrated Voit Diet Standard. Professor
Atwater, of Connecticut, went further, prescribing as Daily DietStandard no less than 125 grams of Proteins, with sufficient fat
and carbohydrates to equal a total fuel value of 3,500 large
calories for a man doing a moderate amount of labour;increasing the amount of Protein to 150 grams, with fats and
carbohydrates to a total fuel value of 4,500 large calories per diem.heard of him in a sanatorium—surely
disgraceful to a doctor to be compelled to go tosuch a place for " treatment." The race, or contest, never took place, but
since then I personally have several timesbroken records established by men one-half, andeven one-third, of my age with progressive easeup to three years ago when last put to a test,and I have noted no letting-up of the progress ofrecuperation as judged by " feelings " orendurance when doing unusual stunts. In this direction I now feel that I have done
enough, and that it is not for age to temptProvidence by competing with the Prime ofMuscularity in feats of strength and endurance.John L. Sullivan and Jefferies and many morewent once too often into the ring, and MotherNature, not Corbett or Jack Johnson, knockedthem out for good and all. Fletcherizing does notinclude either imprudence or bluff. It merelytrusts good Mother Nature for directions toaccompany her nutriment-medicine. Wheneverat any time I feel the impulse to turnsomersaults from the lead platform of a man-of-war into good, clean salt-water—as I did a fewyears ago or so in the Philippines, as a
demonstration to impress the natives—I will" up and do it, or die in the attempt." What I amdoing now more than ever is keeping my ear tothe mouth of Mother Nature, my finger on herpulse of command, and doing her biddings aswell as I can interpret them. If a thing is notagreeable to do, I take it as a warning not to do
it. There are so many useful things to do thatare pleasant, what is the use of going out of theway to do disagreeable things. There are somethings that are natural and agreeable that weshould do, and which we have got out of thehabit of doing, physical exercise, for instance.We are dealing with cultivated abnormalitiesalways in a cramped and complex civilisation." We are constantly doing the things that weshould not do, and leaving undone those thingsthat we ought to do," as the Prayer Book tellsus, including carelessness of eating, andshirking physical exercise. To return to thecallow book of the canny doctor-son of myantagonist of a dozen years ago. It isn't socallow as it is canny, and since the persons inthe case are of the canniest of peoples, thosewho are so shrewd that Jewish merchants do
not thrive among them, and the prescriptionresults in thousands of pounds a year revenue,the game may be set down to ordinarycommercial cupidity and popular gullibility. It issafe to always warn against Prescription forRevenue. Like patriotism or religion forrevenue, it is questionable, if not surelyselfishly prejudiced. On the other hand, MotherNature charges no fee for her advice. She paysgood coin as a premium for her patients in thesame way that I bribed my first test subjectsinto eating right by paying them for eating in
addition to furnishing the food. DOUBTING  THOMASES
who are too lazy, or incredulous, or careless, to
take a month to try the Mother NaturePrescription as interpreted by me, are liable tosay: " Appetite is abnormal. Taste is perverted,and the demands of the body are whollyunnatural." True! But abnormality of that sortcan be corrected in a very short time. A "poorchap " who is lucky enough to have to gowithout food long enough to " whinney like ahorse " at the smell of fresh-baked bread and
the thought of good Danish butter on it, is notgoing to " turn up his nose " at even a crispbaked potato; neither is he likely to requiresweetbreads to coax himself to

once
had
an
infection
in
my
left
ear
and
I
stopped
hearing
them. After
washing
my
ears
with
urine,
my
hearing
returned
and
I
can
hear
very
well. I
cured
my
daughter's
eczema
and
my
granddaughter's
asthma. An
acquaintance
of
mine
had
varicose
veins
and
a
large
open
wound
on
her
leg,
which
festered. After
the
urine
treatment,
she
was
cured. The
important
thing
is
that
I
am
no
longer
tired
in
the
morning
(urine
has
a
huge
energy
charge
-
note
author). I
get
up
early
and
start
doing
urine
therapy,
I
feel
wonderful. I
used
to
be
lifeless,
now
I
can
walk
like
when
I
was
young,
no
one
would
guess
that
I
am
70
years
old. At
the
same
time,
if
it
weren't
for
urine
therapy,
I
would
have
been
in
my
grave
a
long
time
ago." Example:
Patient,
80
years
old. He
started
urinotherapy
boldly
and
with
gusto. "I
drink
urine
four
times
a
day:
at
night
after
2
a.m.,
then
at
1
p.m.
before
meals,
at
6
p.m.
an
hour
before
dinner,
and
overnight. I
used
to
suffer
from
chronic
inflammation
of
the
gallbladder,
prostate
(I
was
operated
on
here
6
years
ago),
high
blood
pressure. I
had
a
massive
heart
attack. Just
serious
trouble. I
was
still
on
many
medications. I
stopped
taking
the
pills
when
I
started
drinking
urine. All
trouble
has
ceased.' Urinotherapy
in
diseases
of
the
digestive
tract
Example:
"I
suffered
from
pyoria,
periodontitis
(infectious
gingivitis). Teeth
have
lost
their
luster
and
color. Toothpaste
and
careful
brushing
did
not
help. For
several
days
I
massaged
my
gums
with
urine
and
rinsed
her
mouth. On
the
fourth
day,
the
unpleasant
smell
disappeared. I
now
use
this
method
regularly. Moreover,
I
found
out
that
urine
reduces
appetite
.“
For
toothaches,
it
is
necessary
to
hold
the
urine
in
the
mouth
for
about
3
minutes
five
times
a
day,
if
the
pain
does
not
subside. Then
you
put
a
cotton
ball
soaked
in
urine
on
your
tooth. You
can
try
all
kinds
of
urine,
quarter
urine
probably
works
best. Example:
In
the
early
days
of
urinotherapy,
the
elderly
patient
barely
overcame
the
psychological
barrier. She
finally
succeeded
and
cured
her
duodenal
ulcer,
improved
her
thyroid
function
(she
was
suffering
from
thyrotoxicosis)
and
finally
survived
a
complex
operation
thanks
to
urine
therapy. They
removed
a
huge
cyst
that
encircled
and
almost
suffocated
her
abdominal
organs
and
a
cancerous
tumor. Example:
Female
patient,
52
years
old,
sedentary
job. "I
was
lucky
to
learn
about
urinotherapy
in
your
book. I
don't
know
what
would
happen
to
me. I
have
been
suffering
from
severe
constipation
for
20
years. Sometimes
I
don't
go
to
the
party
for
a
week. My
female
problems
brought
me
to
urine
therapy. I
started
drinking
urine
morning
and
night
for
about
two
weeks. I
was
so
dizzy,
I
thought
I
was
going
to
fall. My
stomach
was
also
tight. Black
sludge
came
out
of
me
in
large
quantities,
oily
black
clumps
and
flakes,
sticky
and
smelly. After
that,
the
constipation
stopped
and
the
stool
became
regular. The
neoplasm
in
the
area
of
  the
left
ovary
has
disappeared." Comment
and
recommendation:
Women's
problems
are
the
result
of
severe
constipation. That's
why
you
have
to
monitor
the
work
of
the
large
intestine
and
regulate
its
activity
with
proper
nutrition
and
urine
therapy
(enemas). Compresses
with
lukewarm
urine
on
the
abdomen
and
crotch
will
help
with
persistent
constipation. In
the
morning,
it
is
necessary
to
eat
food
with
coarse
fiber
content
-
various
salads. It
also
helps
a
lot
to
run
a
little
in
the
morning. Example:
A
patient
suffering
from
heartburn
and
increased
stomach
acidity. He
began
to
use
urine
and
the
difficulty
eased. Comment
and
recommendation
:
Urine
normalizes
the
function
of
the
stomach
and
itsacidity. However,
for
more
permanent
results,
it
is
necessary
to
adjust
the
diet
(varied,
separated,
with
a
restriction
of
meat
and
dairy
products). Urinotherapy
and
treatment
of
infectious
diseases
The
treatment
of
various
infectious
diseases
with
urine
therapy
is
very
effective
precisely
because
of
this
interference
and
nosody
effect. The
methodology
is
very
simple:
you
need
to
drink
50-100
grams
of
urine,
if
possible
at
once
with
as
few
odd
sips
as
possible. During
fevers,
highly
concentrated
urine
is
formed,
which
is
not
very
pleasant
to
the
taste. Its
taste
can
be
improved
by
drinking
plenty
of
water
melted
from
the
ice
and
in
addition
brewed
or
herbal
tea. To
reduce
the
temperature,
use
an
old
recipe
-
put
a
compress
with
urine
on
the
pulse. Example:
“When
I
got
the
tremors
in
conditions
of
complete
solitude
and
without
medication,
I
remembered
urine
therapy. Mother
nature
gave
us
the
best
medicine. After
a
glass
of
urine,
which
I
drank
at
once,
I
was
well
in
five
minutes. Nothing
like
that
has
happened
to
me
more
than
once.' Example:
"It
was
during
the
war. There
was
no
anti-malaria
medicine
and
the
doctors
