response.
Non-specific Immune Response
 — (Inflammation) The response of the
tissues and cells to an injury from any source. These sources include
chemicals, trauma, invading organisms, etc.
Specific Immune Response
 — A much stronger response, which takes
place when inflammation is not strong enough, or is inadequate to handle
the injury or invasion. This response falls directly under T- and B-cell
control.
At the bottom line, your immune system rids itself of unwanted invaders
in two ways, phagocytosis and inflammation. Inflammation can be local
(cellular) or systemic (in many places throughout the body).
PHAGOCYTOSIS
—The ingestión, neutralization or destruction of foreign
substances, including microorganisms, their parts, toxins, as well as dead or
weakened body cells, and parasitically invaded cells. Cells that create
phagocytosis are called phagocytes. Neutrophils and macrophages make up
the bulk of these types of cells.
INFLAMMATION
 —
Local Inflammation
 is confined to a specific area. Redness, swelling and
heat are experienced from the dilation of the vascular (blood) system.
Pain can result in these areas from the swelling and chemical reaction on
nerve receptors.
Systemic Inflammation
 oftentimes goes unnoticed until destruction
occurs. Hormone
imbalances, high acid-forming diets and heavy
chemical ingestion through foods, air and cosmetics create this type of
inflammation. Most of the time, this inflammation goes unnoticed until
you begin to experience hypoactivity of tissues, glands and organs. As
your glands fail to do their job, this creates a domino effect, causing
many disease symptoms.
As previously stated, the lymphatic and immune systems work hand-in-
hand as if they were one system. The lymphatic tissues, organs and
physiological processes are involved in identifying, transporting andeliminating antigens or pathogens. This system is also responsible for
producing the immune response.
There are basically two lines of defense that your body has to protect
itself from foreign substances, including unwanted microorganisms. They are
mechanical (structural defenses) and chemical (mediated defenses).
MECHANICAL DEFENSES (STRUCTURAL)
— Skin, mucous membrane, tears, saliva, stomach acids, urine. Site-specific
protection is affected by the “mucosa immunity system” of the mucosa of the
respiratory, genitourinary, and gastrointestinal lining, which have clusters of
lymphoid cells, including lymphocytes and macrophages.
CHEMICAL DEFENSES (MEDIATORS)
 — These chemical catalysts are
substances your body uses to bring about an innate immune response. Some
chemicals form barriers in the cell membrane wall to stop invasion by
parasites. Cells also produce enzymes called lysosomes, which are designed
to digest or kill parasitic invaders.
Lysozyme
 — (enzymes) in tears, sweat and saliva kills various
microorganisms.
Mucus
 — produced by the mucous membrane, coats and supplies WBCs
that are designed to phagocytize, neutralize or destroy antigens and
pathogens.
Histamine
 — chemicals (which are released from microorganisms or
damaged cells) that attract leukocytes (white blood cells) for emergency
aid.
Prostaglandins
 — a biologically active, carbon-20-based unsaturated
fatty acid, metabolized from arachidonic acid. Prostaglandins have a
multitude of functions, including vasodilatation and glucose metabolism.
They are mediators of many chemical processes.
Leukotrienes
 — promote inflammation by dilation of the vascular system
(capillaries, etc.). They also increase vascular permeability (the ability to
secrete blood, nutrition and immune cells through the walls of the
capillaries, etc.). Vascular permeability allows fibrinogen and proteins to
enter the lymph fluids around a cell. Fibrinogen is converted to fibrin,
which is then used to block off the affected areas. Leukotrienes also
stimulate phagocytosis by macrophages, as well as attract WBCs for
emergency aid.
Interferons
 — a type of protein that protects cells from viral invasion.
They attach themselves to cell walls, and stimulate that cell’s productionof antiviral properties (proteins).
Kinins
 — attract WBCs.
Complement
 — a group of proteins (complement proteins) known to
attract WBCs.
To understand autoimmune conditions, let’s examine your internal
immune system further.
As you have learned, your internal immune system is designed to
eliminate weak and para-sitically involved cells. Cells have “markers”
(antigens) on their surfaces which identify them for what they are. These
markers identify them as either a “self” or “non-self type of cell.
Antigens
Antigens are substances that create an immune response. Antigens are
proteins or oligosaccharides
(compounds made up of a saccharide). There are
two types of antigens: self-antigens and foreign antigens.
SELF-ANTIGENS
 — Substances (proteins, etc.) created by your cells to
stimulate an immune response. These types of antigens generally are part of a
cell membrane wall and act as “markers” or signals for immune cell response.
These types of antigens have also been called auto-antigens.
FOREIGN ANTIGENS
 — Substances or parasites that are introduced into
the body from the outside world. These include:
Microorganisms
Particles (fragments) of microorganisms
Acids
Chemicals of all types
Proteins that are foreign or unusable by the body
Splinters, wood, glass, etc.
Every single thing in creation is unique. However, there are numerous
similarities. Our planet is home to many different races of humans and
species of plants and animals, each type identified by various shapes,
colorings and markings. The same is true of your cells and their membrane
walls (their outer skin), and each cell is unique unto itself.
Cell walls are composed of proteins (chained amino acids), cholesterol
(inflammation protection) and phospholipids. When a cell becomes
weakened, these proteins and antigens change, which sends a signal for the
cell’s destruction. The outer body or cell wall changes, just as your skin
changes when the cells that comprise it begin to fail.
Immune Cell Response to Antigens (B-Cell Response)
LYMPHOCYTES — To activate a specific immune response, your
lymphocytes must be activated. This activation is triggered by an antigen (a
signal). Lymphocytes have antigen-binding receptors on their surfaces. These
receptors are specific in nature and are designed to bind specific antigens.
INTERLEUKINS — Interleukins, which are produced and released by
macrophages and helper T-cells, stimulate lymphocytes to divide after
antigens are captured (bound) to the lymphocyte (immune cell). Then:
The antigen is processed (neutralized and broken down) by macrophages
and B-cells.
Macrophages present the processed antigen to helper T-cells. Interleukin
is released, causing helper T-cells to divide, thus increasing their
numbers.
Helper T-cells combine with the B-cells (that originally processed the
antigen), resulting in the formation of cells that produce antibodies
against the antigen.
Role of Protein “Markers”Identify a cell for type and health (strong and weak).
Stimulate the production of antibodies by B-lymphocytes to neutralize or
destroy the cell.
Stimulate cytotoxic (chemicals that destroy cells) responses by
granulocytes, monocytes, and lymphocytes.
Normal body cells that become damaged or weakened can appear as foreign
antigens, inviting an immune response by macrophages, neutrophils,
monocytes, etc. This stimulates the production of antibodies by B-
lymphocytes to neutralize or destroy the cell if needed. As noted, it also
stimulates cytotoxic responses by granulocytes, monocytes and lymphocytes.

This is where the “autoimmune” illusion is first created. When a cell
changes its morphology through acidosis, toxic chemical influence, etc., this
changes its signal to immune cells (the police), which are now considered
foreign antigens or cells that can affect other cells and thus need to be
eliminated.
Antibody-Mediated Response
ANTIBODIES — When your body is exposed to an antigen (parasites,
toxins, etc.), it activates B-cells, which produce antibodies. These antibodies
bind to the antigens and in the process destroy the toxins. Antibodies are
found in your body fluids. This is why this type of immunity is called
extracellular (outside of the body) immunity. Antibodies can bind to
macrophages, basophils and mast cells.Antibodies are y-shaped glycoproteins produced by B-lymphocytes (B-
cells) in response to the presence of antigens. Each antibody consists of four
polypeptide (two or more amino acids)
chains, which create the binding sites
for antigen adhesion. They are considered immunoglobulins (consisting of
many different antibodies). Almost all of your antibodies, except your
naturally inherited ones (based on blood types), are created by B-cells
bonding with a foreign antigen.
Antib


 effect. In general, I have found this to be the case, leading to a
reduction in the number of times they need to use their inhaler and the reduction in the
frequency of severe disabling attacks. As with post viral syndrome I have not seen sufficient
cases to be absolutely sure about it, but it certainly calls for some research - a topic I will
return to at the end of the book.

Finally, on this subject, I must tell you Alison's story. The young woman to whom this book is dedicated and the patient who convinced me that there really was something worthwhile in
Aloe Vera.
Alison is a delightful young woman whom I have treated for fifteen years. She suffers with
Still's disease or juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. This condition has been progressive since she
was a child and because of its severity and the deformity it has caused, she has been under regular specialist supervision and has received a variety of potent conventional treatments,
both drug treatments including high-dose non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS)
and hydrotherapy. She has borne her disability bravely but about eighteen months ago she
came to the surgery complaining that she needed more anti-inflammatories to control her pain
and stiffness, but couldn't take any more because of the abdominal pain these caused. Catch 22. I didn't know what else to suggest so I said, "You wouldn't like to try a sort of wacky
cactus juice that's supposed to have a natural anti-inflammatory effect as well as settling
stomachs would you? Unfortunately, I can't prescribe it and you'll have to buy it from a local
agent."
 Alison and her mother, who was present during the consultation, said they would try anything
to get some relief. So Alison started a course of Aloe Vera gel.

It was agreed that she would not reduce her current level of drugs but just add in the Aloe
Vera and record the amounts of NSAIDS she took, the amount of Aloe Vera and her symptoms on a daily basis. I was to see her every two weeks.

After a few weeks we were both thrilled to see an improvement. Her abdominal pain
disappeared, she was in less pain and she certainly looked better and happier - even to the
extent of getting rosy cheeks for the first time. Over the subsequent months she started to
reduce her NSAID level until, eighteen months down the road, she only takes about half the
amount she used to, still with no side effects. Her quality of life has no doubt improved and witnessing this change, albeit in only one patient, but one of my most difficult therapeutically,
was a turning point for me.
Thank you, Alison.

This kind of arthritis I suspect is helped by a combination of anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory factors. However, Aloe Vera does seem to help the other 'wear and tear'
type of arthritis - osteoarthritis, so the use of aloe in these cases must be worth investigating.

 We have looked at acemannan but there are other aspects of polysaccharides, according to
American nutritionist Dr E. Harendal, listed below. They are found in every single cell in the
body and they play a crucial role by:

a) lining the colon to prevent absorption of toxic waste
b) providing a life-saving barrier against microbial invasion for each cell, especially
viruses
c) providing critical lubrication of joints
d) helping to maintain the capacity of movement of fluids
e) allowing the transfer of gases in the lungs
f) facilitating the absorption of water, electrolytes and nutrients in the gastro Intestinal
tract.

Dr Harendal believes they are as vital to a healthy body as bricks are to a house.

 HOW DOES ALOE VERA WORK?

We know that an Aloe Vera leaf is approximately 99 per cent water. Therefore, the total amount of
nutrient is in the remaining 1 per cent of the plant. In this 1 per cent, seventy-five ingredients form a
cocktail of all the substances previously mentioned and in their relatively small amounts they would not
be expected to have much effect, certainly not the results that have been witnessed. Why?
 The answer I believe lies in their synergistic action. Synergism is defined as, "the working together of two
or more drugs, muscles, etc., to produce an effect greater than the sum of their individual effects", and it
is that balance that has taken thousands of years to evolve in this amazing plant and which produce its
dramatic results.

 Synergism in Phytotherapy

The scientific development of conventional or allopathic medicine required that the prescription drugs
would be uniform chemical substances that would produce a consistent physiological effect. Hence the
practice of isolating in chemically pure form the biologically active substances or "active ingredients"
from botanical formulations. The tenet of the active ingredient is deeply ingrained in allopathic
medicine.
Herbal preparations taken from whole stems, roots, leaves and fruits containing huge numbers o
f
phytochemicals stretch the boundaries of the conventional medical paradigm.
The method of action is also often different whereas a cancer drug may kill cancer cells directly
a
herbal preparation may cause either the malignant cells to differentiate into normal, healthy cells o r
perhaps stimulate the body's immune system to better fight and destroy the abnormal cells.
Together with these views, Professor Henri Sharman, a physician from Ohio State University, believes
that antioxidants work synergistically to neutralise free radicals, especially Vitamin C, Vitamin E,Carotene and various bioflavonoids. Ayurvedic herbal preparations are formulated just to maximise
such synergistic action.

Complex herbal mixtures are more potent because they contain both water soluble and fat soluble
antioxidants, therefore they are capable of scavenging free radicals both inside and outside the cell. I
t
is also important to remember that natural-sourced and synthetic vitamins do not have the same
composition nor the same biological activity. In respect of Vitamin E for example, studies have show n
a preferential functional uptake and retention of the natural Vitamin E as compared to the syntheticform.

Professor Sharman believes that herbal preparations have a synergistic multifaceted healing capacity,
which warrants further systematic exploration for the benefit of humanity, leaving all preconceive
d
notions behind.

This plant has the ability to:

(a) provide essential nutrients

Tissues that die and are renewed rapidly such as the lining of the gut, which renews itself about every four days, and the skin every twenty-one to twenty-eight days or so, need a rich and ready supply of building
materials to produce and maintain healthy efficient cells. A poor diet and one which is deficient in certain
key elements cannot produce a fit and healthy body (or mind come to that). It is becoming increasingly
apparent that today's tendency to eat junk food, especially in children, is causing deficiency states that
will produce a generation of unhealthy adults. An increasing number of doctors now emphasise that good nutrition is the basis of good health and that many diseases can be treated quickly and effectively by
changes in diet rather than with drugs which generally only ameliorate the situation rather than effecting a
cure.

Brillat Savarin (1755-1826), a Frenchman and gourmet, is always misquoted as saying, "You are what
you eat". I tend to agree, but what he really said was, "Tell me what you eat, and I'll tell you who you
are". This is more a social observation, but the truism lies in the misquotation. So it has been said that if the doctors of today don't become the nutritionists of tomorrow, then the nutritionists of today will
become the doctors of tomorrow.

(b) kill bacteria, viruses, fungi and yeasts

In vitro experiments in the laboratory have been carried out on numerous organisms and have regularly
shown that, in normal strength, Aloe Vera gel can kill or prevent replication of several bacterial
organisms, such as:

Streptococcus pyogenes Escherichia coli
Staphylococcus aureus Propionibacterium acnes
Pseudamonas aeruginosa Mycobacterium tuberculosis

The antimicrobial action of Aloe Vera was really first investigated in the USA between 1968-1972. Two
doctors, Zimmerman and Sims, studied the effect of stabilised gel on:
Staphylococcus aureus Streptococcus viridans
Candida albicans (yeast) Corynebacterium xerosis

They found it inhibited growth of the bacteria at 70 per cent concentration and the yeast candida at a 50
per cent concentration.

Later, in 1970, they tested it against the fungi which cause athlete's foot (tinea pedis).
Trychophyton mentagrophytes is one such fungus and another very stubborn fungus that can infect nails
is Trychophyton rubrum. In concentrations of 85 per cent or more these fungi were killed. Further testing
showed it to be virucidal against Herpes simplex and zoster (shingles).
 In 1971, it was shown to kill Trichomonas vaginalis, a common cause of sexually transmitted vaginal
infection producing soreness and discharge.

 In her summary, Dr Sims reported, "Aloe Vera is bactericidal to at least six species of bacteria, especially
to the more common staph and strep infections... It is timely in its use on burn patients. In an 80 per cent
concentration, it is broadly virucidal.


 With  your  attention
to It, all human  qualities  and  conditions  must  dissolve  and
disappear!  Then,  you  will  have  acted  in the best  manner
possible,  for Us to give  you  the Full  Assistance  We  would
like to; but if there  is doubt  or questioning  in your  mind,
you will  constantly  requalify  the energy;  until  you  will  only
have  the partial  result  of all We would  like  to give.
Surely,  you  who  have  known  the  Messengers  during
these  years,  have  come  to know  definitely  they  are honest
and sincere;  and  THE  TRUTH  WHICH  THEY  HAVE
GIVEN  FORTH  IS FROM  US DIRECT!  Now  these  are DISCOURSE  XXIII  359
important  points.  If there  are those  who  are here  for the
first time,  you  must  understand,  that  all things  which  stir
up in mankind—intense  fear  or whatever  the discordant
condition  is, are depriving  the people  thru  listening  to what
disturbs  them;  and  holding  them  in their  binding  limita-
tion.
You who  have  THIS  OPPORTUNITY,  need  no longer
go on in any  kind  of limitation,  in any  distress  in your
physical  body,  after  this  which  has been  done  for you  here!
You can  have  the sensitiveness  in your  feeling  world,  by
which  your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence"  can  direct  you  mag-
nificently—accurately.  Do not  jump  at conclusions!  Wait
the assurance  of Its Direction!  Then  as you  keep  trying  this
out, you  will  find  you  can move  just  from  one  point  to the
other;  with  a definite  mathematical  precision  which  will
delight  you.  IT WILL  CAUSE  YOU  TO REALIZE,  YOU
HAVE  ENTERED  INTO  THE  DIVINE  DIRECTION
OF LIFE.  Thus,  It will  hold  you  Free  from  that  which
might  remain  of human  accumulation,  either  in your  world
or in your  associates.
This  is a point  of which  I want  to remind  you;  so much
has been  done  for many  of the students,  and  their  entire
accumulation  dissolved  and  consumed;  but remember,  Be-
loved  Ones,  you  are moving  in constant  contact  with  the
feeling  world  of other  Individuals,  for whom  this  has not
been  done.  Then,  if you  accept  feeling  from  others,  if you
accept  suggestions  from  others,  you  will  be acting  similarly,
as if it were  coming  from  your  own  world. 360 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
Do you  not understand  why  the Messenger  has,  in This
Class  especially,  stressed  so earnestly  your  Call  to the Pres-
ence,  to hold  about  you,  the Tube  of Light  and  use  the
Violet  Consuming  Flame ? The  Messenger  and  sometimes
We, gave  forth  directly  Ourselves,  that  Certain  Accom-
plishment  had  been  reached  in the feeling  world  of man-
kind;  and  that  the students  had  been  freed  from  their  own
human  creation  and  accumulation.  They  took  it for granted
and have  thought:  Now  I won't  have  any more  problems—
I won't  have  anything  more  to do, but just  smile  and  be
Free!  MY  DEAR  ONES,  YOU  MUST  MAKE  YOUR
APPLICATION,  UNTIL  YOU  ARE  ASCENDED  BE-
INGS,  MAKE  NO  MISTAKE  ABOUT  THAT!
Never  forget,  that  just  because  your  feeling  world  has
been  set Free  from  accumulation  and  discordant  conditions,
it does  not mean  the rest  of the world  has!  You  are con-
stantly  moving  among  other  people  who  are  not  Free!
Therefore,  unless  your  guard  is up by your  Tube  of Light,
their  discord  can rush  in upon  you  as before.  NOT  ONLY
THAT,  BUT  YOU  MUST  HOLD  YOUR  PROTEC-
TION  BY  YOUR  CONSCIOUS  COMMAND,  for  the
Light  to stand  guard  and  repel  or dissolve  and  consume,
everything  of human  qualities  or a discordant  nature;
which  attempts  to touch  your  world  or find  action  within  it.
Do you  not see that?  I am very  grateful  for the oppor-
tunity  to explain  this  one  particular  point  to you  today;
for unless  you  see it, you  would  not  understand  what  is
happening  to you.  Because  We have  rendered  This  Certain DISCOURSE  XXIII  361
Service  to so many,  it does  not mean  you  must  let down
your  guard  or your  application.  Not  at all!  You  should
redouble  it with  great  joy,  because  of the Assistance  which
is being  given  you.
I say  to you  ladies,  if it came  house-cleaning  time  and
someone  offered  to assist  you,  would  you  just  sit down  and
let them  do all the work?  I think  not.  You  would  be so
grateful  that  you  would  take  hold  with  them  and  do all
you could,  to complete  that  accomplishment  as quickly  as
possible.  Now  if I am willing  to give  you  My  Assistance,
will you  not take  hold  with  Me and  do your  part ? Don't
expect  Me to carry  all. I think  you  see that  clearly.
In This  your  Call  to Life,  which  is so much  beyond  your
comprehension  as yet—and  I say it really  very  kindly;  in
the human,  as long  as some  of its qualities  are yet acting,
your  comprehension  is limited.  I trust  you  will  continue  on
after  today,  in Our  Mighty  Vibratory  Action  into  which
you have  been  drawn  and  held.  I want  you  to still  be held
in It. Unless  you  determine  otherwise,  you  will  be! There-
fore,  you  will  continue  to go on, and  on, in the raising,  ex-
pansion  and  intensity  of This  Vibratory  Action  which  has
been  released  to you.  You  will  hold  It sustained,  if you  will
do these  simple  things  and  give  your  attention  to the Pres-
ence.
The Messenger  has  so often  told  you,  certain  simple
things,  which  if you  would  do them,  before  retiring  at
night,  would  bring  you  such  results.  It is such  an oppor-
tunity,  Beloved  Students;  for you  to set into  action  the Great 362 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
Law  of Life,  to operate  while  your  physical  body  is asleep;

enough vitamin A. In making postmortem studies on a number of children who had died of other diseases, he noted that the majority of the children showed epithelial changes
incident to vitamin A starvation. Postmortem proof, both gross and microscopic, existed
to confirm the fact that these children did not receive enough vitamin A. The gross
changes which indicated a lack of vitamin A were simply small abscesses in the tonsils,
and the presence of pus in the accessory si nuses. The same changes occur in laboratory
animals which are given inadequate quantities of vitamin A. Apparently these changes
take place on a less severe vitamin A deficiency, than that which causes the gross
disease of the eye. The changes in the throat and bronchial epithelium described by Dr.
Wolbach are now known to be very common. The change is the reversion of the cell
type from a secreting cell to one which is simply hardened and flattened, and has only the function of acting as a mechanical barrier, like a scale on a fish. Apparently this is
an effort on the part of Nature to sacrifice function for mechanical protection. On
account of the vitamin deficiency, the cell loses its ability to fight against invading microorganisms, so Nature sets up a whorl of flat, hard cells which serve as a
mechanical barrier.
   That this defense eventually fails is quite evident as the hardened, flattened epithelial
mass finally separates; becomes a small hardened scale, and drops off, leaving a raw,
undefended area which is immediately filled with invading microorganisms. The result
is many tiny foci of infection, the result being chronic bronchitis, chronic tonsillitis, as
chronic sinus disease. In our diets as they exist at the present time, it is quite evident
that we do not receive enough vitamin A or enough vitamin B.
   We have stated that vitamin C has the function of protecting the health of blood
vessels, gums, and teeth. An examination of the health or disease of these parts of the
body will furnish a good index of our success in achieving diets that are sufficient in
this protective element. Do we have a population with good, sound, healthy teeth? Do
these sound, healthy teeth have a sufficiently good vitamin and mineral intake so that
they may carry their function on into advanced years? Is the health of the small children and the condition of gums and teeth as satisfactory as it should be? Is it right and proper
that every school child in America suffers the handicap of having some diseased teeth,
some infected gums, and should the child be swallowing pus constantly, which comes into his mouth from pyorrhea? The obvious presence of mouth and gum disease in school children and adults needs no further argument or confirmation. We do not need to make vitamin C determinations on the blood stream. The widespread and severe
character of disease in this one part of the body shows conclusively that vitamin C
deficiency is universal in all civilized countries. Our needs are not being met in this
connection. What we get does not measure up to what we should have.
   In connection with rickets, the disease caused by lack of vitamin D, no argument is
necessary to sustain the truth of the statemen t that this disease is practically universal.
The only question at issue is the degree of rickets that exists in any individual case.
Here again the question of a right and proper standard comes into the picture. Four years
ago at a Baby Show held at the County Fair in a western New York County, a certain
fat, chubby baby won the prize as being the most perfect baby in the county. Within a month after this prize had been awarded, th e baby was in the hospital wearing artificial
supports on the legs in order to straighten out the crooked bones due to a severe case of
rickets! This baby had undoubtedly suffered from rickets during its whole life; but the lack of proper understanding of the disease and the lack of a proper standard caused the
judges to believe this was a normal, healthy baby. The judges had seen so many rachitic
babies, so many diseased babies, and had so seldom seen a normal, healthy baby, that
they were misled.
   Many doctors are deceived by fat and do  not know the difference between a rachitic
baby and a healthy baby. They do not know the difference between a healthy mouth and
a diseased mouth, unless disease in the m outh is far advanced. Moderate degrees of
tooth decay and pyorrhea are believed by the average laymen and the average physician
to be normal. A lack of vitamin D and the subsequent disease, rickets, produces changes
in the shape of the head, in which the forehead is high and broad. The head is wide
above the ears and bulges out above the temples. This is the type of forehead that
formerly was considered an indication of intelligence and brain power. The reverse is true. These high, wide foreheads which bulge not only sideways but forward are rachitic
and contain brains which are less active than normal.
   The type of chest known as "pigeon breast," which projects forward and comes to a
point at the sternum, is another common physical deformity caused by rickets. The well known knock-knees and bowlegs have been known as signs of rickets for many generations. A child may have one or all of these stigmata. It is a disease to be feared,
and should receive attention at the very earliest age.
   The deformities mentioned are not the only bone deformities associated with rickets.
Other bones of the body may also be softened and deformed by this disease. It should be
remembered in this connection that while the disease is usually considered merely a
lack of vitamin D, it is also in some cases a lack of calcium and other minerals. Bones,
of course, cannot be property built without the basic building materials, which are
calcium and phosphorus.
   The question as to whether or not the ordinary diet contains enough of the various
elements contained in the vitamin B
2 Complex (riboflavin, nicotinic acid, pantothenic
acid, and pyridoxine) has been a matter of controversy for several years. The fact that
these go through ordinary cooking without complete destruction seems to sustain the
idea that they do exist in ordinary diets in sufficient quantities. The chief sources of
these vitamins are wheat germ (which is discarded in the flour mills), liver, heart, kidney and muscle meats, and yeast. That they are deficient in the ordinary diets is well
proved by the prevalence of pellagra and pellagra-like symptoms, and the fact that the
average person will have much better endur ance, appetite, digestion, and freedom from
aches and pains when sufficient sized doses of these vitamins are taken.
   Subclinical pellagra exists in the north, while advanced pellagra exists in the south.
The advanced pellagra does not escape detection, and so comes under treatment. The
milder subclinical pellagra presents a varyi ng complexity of symptoms; is the subject of
many professional errors, and seldom recei ves the right vitamins and minerals in
sufficiently large doses to be completely cured.
   As pellagra is a disease which strikes at the skin, the lining of the digestive tract, and
the brain, the symptoms of the subclinical varieties may predominate in any individual case. Clinical tests on the nutrition of persons suffering neuroses, irritability and other
forms of nerve and mental disease show that a great number of them may be improved
by taking nicotinic acid, which is considered the specific treatment for pellagra. This indicates that many cases of insanity are on a deficiency basis, and that the persons who
are insane from pellagra are not the only group suffering insanity because of inadequate diet.
   The effects of vitamins are not as specific as might be concluded from what has been
said so far. The effects of all vitamins ove rlap and interlace to such a degree that no
disease can be cured by administering one vitamin, and no disease is caused by any
single vitamin deficiency. The single cause and the single cure exist only in
experimental animals in the laboratory.
   The complexities of civilized life make it impossible that the conditions surrounding
the laboratory animal could ever be duplicated in human existence. It is apparent that
the pellagra cases which show insanity as the outstanding symptom are not suffering
from just a lack of nicotinic acid, or a lack of even all the vitamin B group; but are suffering from a lack of all vitamins, the most extreme deficiency being in the B
2
complex, with emphasis on that part of it which we call niacin-amide. Such a patient undoubtedly also suffers from mineral deficiencies.
   The concentration of minerals and vitamins in the diets of animals that eat both
vegetable and animal foods (meat, vegetables, fruits, and milk products) is undoubtedly
sufficient to meet the daily needs without setting up much surplus. The vitamins and
minerals supplied to the body is very much like the coal supplied to the furnace. A continuous stream must be kept going in order that the mechanism may function at its
best.
   Some reserves of vitamin A are to be f ound in the retina and the liver. Some reserves
of vitamin C may be found in the adrenal glands. Some reserves of vitamin D exist in
fats, but these reserves are exhausted in a fe w days or weeks if a constant supply is not
provided. In order to provide an optimum supply, every food taken into the body must
be a vitamin and mineral containing food. Any part of the food intake which has been deprived


 part that has forgotten its connection
to the life principle we call the separate ego.
When you begin to become aware of the life principle, you
discover that it has always been there but you have not noticed it
because you were under the illusion of existing separately. It is
therefore not entirely accurate to state that the universal
consciousness “manifests.” It would be more correct to say that you
begin to notice it. You may notice the life principle’s ever-present
power as autonomous consciousness or as energy. The separated
ego-personality possesses both, but the ego intelligence is inferior by
far to the universal intelligence whether or not you can recognize it
and put it to use. The same applies to the energy. Consciousness and
energy are not separate aspects of universal life; they are one.
One of the universal life principle’s basic characteristics, whether
expressed as autonomous consciousness or as energy, is that it is
spontaneous. It cannot possibly reveal itself through a laborious
process or a cramped, overconcentrated state. Its manifestation is
always an indirect result of eort. Eort needs to be expended for
the sake of seeing the truth about oneself, of giving up a specic
illusion, of overcoming a barrier to wanting to be constructive
rather than destructive, and not for an as yet theoretical process
called self-realization that promises to feel good.Each step toward seeing the truth in the self, with a genuine
desire for constructive participation in the creative process of life,
frees the self. This is how the spontaneous processes begin. They are
never consciously volitional. The more you fear the unknown, the
letting go, the involuntary processes in your own body, the less you
can experience the spontaneous life principle in the self.
The life principle may manifest as previously unim aginable
wisdom in solving one’s personal problems or in cultivating one’s
creative talents. It can become a new vibrant way of experiencing
life, giving a new avor to all one is doing and seein g. The life
principle is always safe, always holds out justied hope that will
never be disappointed. There is never any fear in this new life
experience, yet it cannot be pushed and forced. It comes about
exactly to the degree that you no longer fear the involuntary
processes, those inner mechanisms that are not under the direct
control of the ego.
The Conict Between Yearning For and Fearing the Real
Self
Humanity nds itself in the paradoxical position of deeply
yearning for the fruits of these involuntary processes, yet fearing
and battling them. The conict is terrible and tragic, and it can be
resolved only when you let go of the fear.
All psychological problems come, in the nal analysis, from this
much deeper existential conict, far beyond those individual
personal diculties the child experiences that later cause inner
problems and misconceptions. All life moves toward resolving this
basic conict. But such resolution can only happen if rst the
individual neurotic conicts are found and understood. You need to
learn to see and accept whatever is real and true in yourself, in
others, in life. Honesty must prevail to stop one’s attemp ts to cheat
life, no matter how subtly. All character defects have to be removed
by fully acknowledging and objectively observing them withoutplunging into despair or denying them. This attitude in itself
removes the defects innitely more eectively than any other
approach. Only then is one able to perceive the existential conict
between the ego and the universal consciousness.
Misinterpretations of the Universal Life Principle in
Religion
The spontaneously manifesting universal consciousness has
nothing to do with religious  precepts of a removed deity, or a life
beyond this physical life. These are misinterpretations that occur
when a person senses the universal life principle and gropingly tries
to convey this experience to those whose ego is still in conict with
it. Such misinterpretations must alienate you from your immediate
self and from your practical daily life.
People wish to nd a compr omise between their yearning, which
comes from the deep sense of the present possibilities available to
them, and their fear. They have created it in every formalized
religion that removes God from the self and from daily  life, that
splits human nature into the spiritual and the physical being. Thus
total fulllment is perforce removed from the now into a life after
death. All such views and approaches to life are nothing but a
compromise between what one senses could exist and what one
fears. This fear goes beyond the neurotic fears that stem from
misconceptions and personally experienced traumas.
What is this basic fear of letting go of the outer ego and letting
the universal processes unfold and carry you? It is the
misunderstanding that giving up the ego means giving up existence.
In order to get a little better  understanding of this problem, let us
consider how the ego formed itself out of universal life.
Individuation is an integral aspect of the universal life force.
Creative life is always moving, reaching out, expanding and
contracting, nding new areas of experience and branching into
new territories. It nds forever new ways to experience itself. As anindividual consciousness separates itself further and further from its
original source, it “forgets” its essence and becomes oblivious of its
own principles and laws until it seems to be a totally separate
entity. Individ ual existence is, in its present state, assoc iated only
with separate existence. Giving up the ego must then appear to the
individual as an annihilation  of its unique personal existence.
This is the current condition of human beings. You live under the
illusion that life, the sense of “I am,” can be found only in your
“separate” existence. This illusion has brought death into the human
realm, for death is nothing but this illusion being carried to its nal
absurdity.
The realization that the separate ego-existence is an illusion
constitutes an extremely important step in the evolution of
humanity. Any work of self-actualization brings this issue into very
clear focus. As you look deeply at the immediately availab le truth of
yourselves as individuals, you will nd that you and the creative life
principle are one. The more you look at yourself in truth and shed
your illusions about yourself, the more you will realize that
individual existence is not surrendered when the involuntary
processes of the creative life principle are allowed to take over and
integrate with the ego functions.
Those who have begun to experience the immediacy of this
greater life in a renewal of energy nd, paradoxically, that the more
they give of their energy, the more renewed energy they generate
within. For that is the law of the universal life principle. The
separated state operates dualistically; it seems “logical” that the
more one gives, the less one has and the more depleted one
becomes. This comes from the illusion that the outer ego is all there
is to individua lity. The root of the fear to let go of all tight ego
defenses is precisely this misconception.
Those who begin to experience these powers and energies also
begin to notice the inux of an inspirational intelligence that seems
to be much vaster than anything they know in their outer intellect
as opposed to inner wisdom.  Yet it is essentially their “best self.” It
rst seems to be a foreign power, but it is not. It only seems so
when these channels have become clogged due to one’s ignorance.This vaster intelligence manifests as inspiration, guidance, and a
new form of intuition that comes not in a vague feeling, but in
concise words, in denite knowledge, graspable and translatable
into daily living.
The discovery of this new life reconciles the apparent opposites of
being an individual and being at one with all others, an integral part
of a whole. These are no longer irreconcilable opposites, but
interdependent facts. All such opposites, all apparently  mutually
exclusive alternatives that cause so much heartache to humanity,
begin to fall into place when the ego connects with universal life.
How to Let Go of the Ego
When I speak of letting go of the ego, I do not mean its
annihilation, or even disregar ding its importance. The ego has made
itself a separated part of the universal life that can be found deep
within the self. It is immediately accessible if so desired, when the
ego is ready to reconnect itself to its original source. When the ego
becomes strong  enough to take the risk to trust faculties other than
its limited conscious capabilities, it will nd a previously
undreamed-of new security.
Before it can take this new step, the ego fears that it will be
crushed, fall into nothingne ss, and cease to exist. Holding on to
unmoving, petried psychic substances seems to alleviate this fear.
The unmoving  seems safe; the moving, perilous. To want to hold on
makes life scary, for life is eternally moving. When you nd that the
movement is safe because it carries you, you have found the only
real security there is. All other security—trust in, or leaning on, the
static—is illusory and breeds forever more fear.

The principle is the same as the one that moves


 water fast with.  Whatever you choose, make sure it is organic.  Personally I choose pomelo fruit, an Asian fruit very similar to grapefruit.  I recommend high-water content fruits and/or green juices to start with.  Grapefruit is a good choice because it has a low GI-index, so it will not overwhelm your body and pancreas with too much sugar.  In the beginning, always dilute your juice with 50/50 water.On my shorter 10-day water fast, the morning of my ﬁrst day of eating, I made about 200ml or 1 cup of fresh pomelo juice at around 10:00am and drank it 50/50 diluted with water.  After, I felt quite full, yet completely energized!  I waited until my body naturally showed a craving for more.  At about 2pm, I had some coconut water.  After each drink, I took one probiotic.At around 4pm, I ate one slice of the pomelo (or grapefruit) fruit.  At 6pm I ate one more slice, and at 8pm I had a ﬁnal slice.  That was all I had on the ﬁrst day.  I tried to keep it simple for my body – I don’t think it is a good idea to confuse your body with too many different foods, especially right after a fast.By evening time I started to feel pretty normal again.  I made a plan to do some light walking the next day to slowly introduce some exercise to my muscles again.Over the next few days, I ate much the same – some papaya, more pomelo, some cucumber – all simple, high-water content fruits.  I took a lot How to Break a Water Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!32of probiotics – every time I ate and also at night before bed.  I let my body tell me when it was hungry.  I avoided the temptation to eat just for the sake of eating.  My energy levels rose naturally and quickly.  I could feel the elixir of life pumping through my veins thanks to the pure foods I was giving my body.  The feeling of enjoyment from eating food after a pure water fast is indeed bliss!Many Natural Hygienists recommend to break a water fast on fresh watermelon.  In Thailand where I did my fasting, the watermelons are known to be heavily sprayed with pesticides and are even rumored to be injected with sugar and color dyes.  If you choose watermelon, be sure that it is organic.  If you are in a foreign country, ask around and plan what you will choose to break the fast with beforehand.  In Thailand, pomello is known to have very little and often no pesticides, so it’s as near to organic as you can get.FIRST MEAL - LONGER FASTIf you have done a long water fast, it is a good idea to plan for several days of juices before you build up to solid foods again.  Listen to your body.  Be gentle and patient with yourself!  Follow the same guidelines of sticking to high-water content foods.  This will help you avoid constipation.On my long 40-day fast, I decided to break my fast on pureed raw foods.  I planned this well in advance so I had plenty of time to mentally prepare and visualize eating the right foods for my body.  During my fast, I collected How to Break a Water Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!33recipes for raw soups and raw salad dressings that had anti-parasitic properties so I could drizzle them on my soups.The reason why I decided to go for pureed foods and not juice is because I wanted to stay away from sugar fruits for awhile to try to continue to rid any leftover parasites from my body.  In my case, I made my plan based on the results I had experienced during the fast.For the ﬁrst few days, I made a puree consisting of: one raw onion, 5 cloves of garlic plus equal amounts of fresh ginger.  I blended this mixture and then added 3 small cucumbers, peeled.  It became a delicious raw soup full of natural anti-parasitic effects.  I simply ate a few spoonfuls of this 3 times a day, taking one probiotic every time I ate.  At night, I took 2 Cascara Sagrada before bed.As the saying goes, 'Any fool can fast, but only a wise man can break it properly.'  Keep that in mind as you prepare to break your fast.  Remember, you have the rest of your life to eat all of the healthy foods you desire. Eat lightly and avoid overeating as much as possible.   Stay in control and you should have any easy, natural transition back into the eating world.  Be sure to start doing some exercise to get those muscles moving again.  And don’t forget to thank yourself for the wonderful gift you have given yourself!Please Note: All of the material here is for informational purposes only.It is not meant to diagnose any disease or to cure any illness.For any medical questions or concerns, please consult with your doctor.

It never occurred to them that these same worms can also live in humans.  In fact, it is much more common than one may think.Worms usually infect the host when the host directly and unknowingly ingests the eggs.  Eggs can be transmitted from undercooked meat, water supplies, shaking hands, sharing drinks, dirty toilets, unwashed produce, petting animals and contact with feces.  Once ingested, the eggs will eventually make their way to the colon where they will start to hatch into live adults.  Of course, thereafter, the adult females will continue to lay eggs, happily settled in their new home.Worms are just one type of parasite that can invade the body.  Nearly 70% of parasites are microscopic.  The other 30% are visible to the human eye.1  Just some of the worms that can live in humans include ringworms, tapeworms, pinworms, roundworms, hookworms, whipworms and ﬂukes.It is important to note that intestinal roundworms are not earthworms!  They are a different species.  However, the ascaris worm does look a bit 1 https://humaworm.com/parasitetypes.htmllike an earthworm when they are released.  I always described them as what looks like ‘cooked spaghetti.’Some information speciﬁc to the ascaris worm from emedicine.medscape.com:‘Intestinal (roundworm) infections affect one fourth to one third of the world's population. Of these, the intestinal roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides is the most common. While the vast majority of these cases are asymptomatic, infected persons may present with pulmonary or potentially severe gastrointestinal complaints.’According to Dr. Hulda Clark,‘Ascaris infects animals and humans from pole to pole of this planet. It is safe to say that all dogs and cats have it and all humans have it from time to time. The human variety is Ascaris lumbricoides. Ascaris simply lies still in your organs absorbing nutrients and eventually ﬁlling up with eggs.’2 She continues,‘The eggs may even do more harm than the worms. Ascaris eggs bring 3 pathogens that spread throughout your body: Rhizobium leguminosarum, Mycobacterium avum/intracellulare, and the common cold virus, Adenovirus. As soon as the last Ascaris egg is gone, Ascaris Intestinal Roundworm
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!362 http://www.drclark.net/en/hulda_clark/parasites/ascris_tapeworms.phpthese pathogens are gone, too. And in 24 hours, unless you kill them, they will hatch into larvae and start the whole cycle over again.  It takes about 3 weeks for large parasites like Ascaris larvae to disintegrate completely and be cleared from your tissues. If eggs are continually released during this time, the cycle of infection cannot be broken.’3Some further information on the Ascaris worm:‘A female Ascaris can produce up to 200,000 eggs a day.  Adult worms can live 1 to 2 years.  Ascaris pneumonitis may be caused the worms as they enter the lungs.’4‘In the adult stage, symptoms are usually related to the amount of worms present. A few worms are usually no problem, and the patient doesn't show symptoms. Heavy infections can produce a bolus (a ball of worms), which can block the intestine or cause a twisting of the bowel.  Sometimes the adult worms can migrate to vital organs where they normally don't go, such as the liver, brain or lungs. This is called "erratic ascariasis" and can occur because of fever, anesthesia and some medications.’5Many people have asked where I got the worms and I really cannot answer that question.

MENUS.

From the following menus given some idea can be

served. The highest object to be attained in the preparation of
a single meal or for an entire day or week is a perfectly
balanced bill of fare; that is, to serve such foods as will
furnish to the body all the elements of nutrition in the right

The Realm of the Physical is one of three realms in the triune reality that you have called
by various names, including heaven, paradise, nirvana, the afterl ife, the Kingdom of God,
etc. The other two realms are: The Realm of the Spiritual and the Realm of the Spirisical
(which is the point between the two). Think of this as a figure 8  on its side.

The Total Being That Is You is on an eternal journey from th e Realm of the Spiritual to
the Realm of the Physical and back again. The Realm of the Spirisical is at the cross point
between the two.
(This illustration was given to me as a simple visualization to assist my mind in holding
data that cannot actually be visualized, it being outside the human experience. A figure 8 on
its side is —not by coincidence —the international symbol for infinity.)
In the Realm of the Spiritual everything exists in absolute form, whereas in the Realm of
the Physical things exist in r elative form. In the Realm of the Spiritual all things are
absolutely what they are. In the Realm of the Physical a thing is what it is relative to other
things that are not what it is.
Big and Small, therefore, do not exist in the Realm of the Spiritual, but only in the Realm
of the Physical. Here  and There, likewise, do not exist in the Realm of the Spiritual, but only
in the Realm of the Physical. As well, Now  and Then, Fast  and Slow, Male  and Female, Up and
Down, Light  and Dark, Good  and Evil, Love  and Fear...  none of these things exist in the
Realm of the Spiritual, but only in the Realm of the Physical.
In the Realm of the Spiritual it is always Here  and Now, and there is only Light  and Love.
Thus, we could rename these realms, calling them...

In the Realm of the Absolute you know absolutely everything, and you know it
absolutely. Yet you cannot experience what you know, because there is nothing else. For
instance, you can know  that are you Love, but you cannot experience yourself as Love,
becau se there is nothing that is not Love.
You can know  yourself as Light, but you cannot experience  yourself as Light, because
there is nothing else but the Light.
You can know yourself as Good, but you cannot experience  yourself as Good, because Evil
does not exist.
The formula is this:
IN THE ABSENCE OF THAT WHICH YOU ARE NOT THAT WHICH YOU ARE IS NOT
That is, it cannot be made real in your experience. You can know yourself conceptually,
but you cannot know yourself experientially. You can conceive  of yourself in a particular
way, but you cannot experience  yourself being that way  because there is nothin g else but
That Which You Are.
Here, then, is the Conundrum of God: How can God experience Itself? By not being God.
Unless It was not God (that is, not the Totality of Itself), God could understand  Itself to be
magnificent, but God could not experience  Itself being that. Again... why? Because there
was nothing else but “magnificence” in the Realm of the Absolute. God could understand
Itself to be enormous, endless, and timeless, yet these concepts had no meaning since there
was nothing that was not “eno rmous,” “endless,” and “timeless.” God could understand
Itself to be All Powerful, yet power could not be experienced in an environment in which
there was nothing but absolute power in equal measure.
Since God wished to Know Itself experientially  as well a s conceptually, God created a
place in the Kingdom (or, if you will, in Ultimate Reality) where all that God Is could be
experienced  as well as known.
God did this by dividing Itself up  into a million ka -jillion different parts, or Aspects of
Itself, with each of the Parts created in different sizes and shapes, colors and textures,
speeds and sounds, and levels of visibility and invisibility. Then any Part of The Whole (that
is, any Individuated Aspect of Divinity) could look back on The Whole from which It
emerged and say, “Oh, my God, how magnificent Thou art!” All it would take would be for
that particular Aspect to have sufficient consciousness (self -awareness) to do so.
And so, after dividing Itself up into a million ka -jillion individual parts, God mer ely had
to imbue some of those parts with sufficient consciousness to recognize (that is, re -cognize,
or “know again”) Divinity when it was looking right at It. (Not all human beings have risen
to that level of consciousness.) God put into place a system  by which Individuations of Itself
could  rise to such a level, and that system was called evolution.
This is the System of the Soul.
You now know about the Mechanics of the Mind and the System of the Soul. There is
more to learn, however, about this System —which you will do presently.
We see, then, that the Realm of the Absolute (also known as the Realm of Spirituality) is
where KNOWING everything takes place, and that the Realm of the Relative (also known as
the Realm of the Physical) is where EXPERIENCING e verything takes place. It might be said,
then, that souls come to the earth in order to gain a world of experience.
We therefore can give the realms in the Kingdom of God yet another name...

Whichever of the three labels you choose, you will be correc t. These names are
interchangeable, and the various names have been given to us so that we might look at
Ultimate Reality in whatever way makes the most sense to us, thus allowing us to
comprehend the incomprehensible.
But it was said that there is a third  realm  in the Kingdom (or in Ultimate Reality), do you
remember? We said, at first, that there was the Realm of the Spiritual, the Realm of the
Physical, and, at the cross point between them, the Realm of the Spirisical.
Spirisical  is, of course, a word th at I simply made up, because there is no word currently
in human language to indicate what this realm is all about. This realm is not a place where
the other two realms combine, but rather, a space from which the other two realms emerge.
It is difficult to  describe in human words the exact nature of this realm, but if we drop
down to our third set of labels we perhaps can get close.
In our third set of labels we called the realms of the Kingdom of God the Realm of
Knowing and the Realm of Experiencing. The third realm, the realm at the cross point,
might then be called the Realm of Being. Situated at the cross point of the figure 8, this is
what you experience when you cross over. That is, when you move from the Realm of the
Physical to the Realm of the Spir itual.
This Middle Realm is where pure being  occurs.
Yes? Are you getting it? Are you beginning to see a Larger Picture?
Now you might ask, “What is that? What is pure being about?” My answer would be that
in the space of pure being you both know and exper ience Who You Really Are. This
knowing and experiencing simultaneously  is the experience for which God yearns. It is
God’s greatest joy. It is the wonder of Divinity, fully known and fully expressed! It is
nirvana. It is bliss. It is heaven.
Yet heaven is not limited to this. The whole process  is heaven, and the wonder of the
process is that the Total Being That You Are can be in nirvana, bliss, and absolute
joyfulness at any point in the process. The cross point was simply created in order to ensure
that each Individuated Aspect of Divinity would never be lost from the feeling, but would
be guaranteed  nirvana, bliss, and absolute joyfulness.
This is what you experience when you “cross over” at the moment of your “death”
(which does not really exist) and at the moment of your rebirth (your next re -entry into the
Realm of the Physical).
You see, the Ultimate Reality is actually a circle. One rounded whole. The energy of life
travels in this circle, through all eternity. It is the cycle of life. In the b eginning, God WAS
this circle, in place AS the circle, complete. When God individuated Itself, it sent the
individual Aspects of Divinity on a journey around the circle. So fast did these infinitesimal
bits and pieces of God travel that they seemed to be e verywhere all the time. Like a tire
spinning so fast that it seems like a solid circle not moving at all, so, too, the cycle of life
replicated the Always Everywhere -ness of God by seeming to create a solid where there
were really moving parts.
By dividing  itself up into a million ka -jillion such parts, each part could look back upon
The Whole and suddenly have a context within which to consider the magnificence of The
Whole —and thus, to know God. Yet how could each of the Individuated Aspects

D. Cancer is basically a deficiency disease — a deficiency of the pancreatic
enzymes. This is a deficiency of the free active pancreatic enzymes in the
tissues of the body. From two to eleven years later, malignant tumors evolve.
What Cancer is Not!
Cancer is not those lumps and bumps that we have been so programmed to fear
and freak-out over. Cancer is not a malignant tumor mass, which doctors in error call
cancer. This is one of the reasons we have so much "cancer". The physician does not
know what cancer is so how can he properly treat it? Physicians, both orthodox and
alternative, only know how to mistreat malignant tumor masses, blood and lymph
abnormalities, which are not even cancer.
The Proper Treatment of Cancer
We have three billion Trophoblast cells scattered throughout our entire body
from the brain to little toe - everywhere in your body the size of a pinhead are two
Trophoblast cells waiting to be stimulated to form a placenta in preparation for the
next generation of the species. This process takes place in everyone every day. These
20
Winning The Cancer War
Trophoblast cells are stimulated by ESTROGEN, to start growing in preparation for the
next generation of the species. Since there is no egg or sperm present, a fetus never
develops - no baby is forth coming. This happens every day in everyone. Thus, a
malignant tumor begins to form a placenta, a false placenta. This is a very normal
necessary part of life.
Why then does not everyone develop malignant tumors? They do! Why then are
we not aware of these tumor masses? They are normal and much too small to be
noticed. When these small tumor masses (false placentas) form, our body, being
aware of it, signals the normal defenses to attack, digesting these normal Trophoblast
cells and the white blood cells carrying them to the liver for processing and
elimination from the body. The normal body defense system is the production and
distribution of PANCREATIC ENZYMES.
What are Malignant Tumors?
We must understand and comprehend what CANCER is and what MALIGNANT
TUMORS are and discern the difference between them. Malignant tumors are masses
of TROPHOBLAST cells, PLACENTAS, attempting to make ready the next generation
of mammals - human or otherwise.
The Treatment of Malignant Tumors
There are several ways to address malignant tumors and resolve the destructive
condition associated with them.
A. M etabolic  normal  way. Yahweh, I  AM that I  AM, Almighty has designed our
bodies to resolve CANCER That is, the failure of the pancreas to produce
adequate pancreatic and enzyme activators. This occurs every day in everyone.
Generally the body adapts to this condition and produces more enzymes,
activators, white blood cells and increased circulation to accommodate this
normal metabolic condition-CANCER. This is why some people never develop
Malignant  Tumors. Should interference of this normal metabolic process
occur, M alignant  Tumors  w ill develop which the medical communities, both
orthodox and alternative, in total error call cancer. Proper treatment of these
malignant tumors include:
7. Reduce the intake of heavy meat proteins like pork, beef, fish, and foul for
at least six months
8. Use and take pure pancreatic enzymes with their activators.
21
Winning The Cancer War
9. Add to the diet as much raw, organic fruits and vegetables and/or their
juice as possible.
10. Properly detoxify the body and increase blood circulation.
11. Remove as much of the enzyme inhibitors and blockers as possible and
preaxial.
12. Maintain a positive spiritual and mental attitude.
B. H erbal  removable  of malignant  tumors. This process must also include the
metabolic procedures. If properly accomplished, malignant tumors are safely
removed. This process is most painful but effective. Destructive damage is minimal
and often multiple undiagnosed malignant tumors are also safely removed.
C S urgical  removable  of malignant  tumors. When a malignant tumor has
become so large, circulation or normal body functions are impaired. It is often
elected and necessary to surgically remove malignant tumors. In addition, one must
also use my metabolic program. Please remember that this is not cancer but a
malignant tumor. This procedure is only temporary and rarely successful as one's
CANCER is not treated allowing other malignant tumors to form.
D R adiation  of malignant  tumors  Radiation to malignant tumors is often
elected for treatment of malignant tumors. This procedure is often justified when
malignant tumors are too large to remove or are inaccessible such as in the spine. In
addition, one must also use my metabolic program. One must remember this is a
malignant tumor treatment not CANCER treatment. This procedure is extremely
destructive and causes permanent damage to the body, often initiating additional
malignant tumors.
E. C hemotherapy  use in malignant  tumors  Chemotherapy is often chosen as the
best and most effective treatment procedure in many types of malignant
tumors. This procedure, like surgery and radiation, does not treat cancer but is
often used to extend life a few weeks. This therapeutic procedure is most
destructive to many necessary functions of one's body. In addition, one must
also use my metabolic program.
F. The medical communities as well as the general public have failed to
understand what cancer is and is not. Their ignorance is inexcusable, as this
truth has been available in the medical literature for 100 years. As used by the
medical communities, orthodox as well as alternative, cancer is the socially
acceptable form of genocide of our civilization.

The Science of Cancer
The Asexual part of life: The fertilized egg, properly called the Zygote, forms the
Trophoblast, which grows into a 'primitive' germ cell. This cell then divides by
doubling many times into many potential humans. These are the 'primary germ-cells'.
The Sexual part of life: One of the primary germ cells forms the embryo. The
remaining primary germ cells start their journey throughout the Somatic Cell mass
(normal body cells) to collect in the testes or the ovaries, waiting to form the next
generation of the species.
About 1/3 of these primary germ cells traveling within the embryonic body cells
toward the testes and ovaries, occupy all sorts of abnormal positions within ones
body. When the 3 billion primary germ cells that did not make it to the testes or
ovaries become trapped within normal body tissue, the tissues then become
stimulated, grow, and produce Trophoblast cells (cancer cells). This happens to every
one of us everyday.
Cancer is NEVER a mutated normal body cell growing uncontrolled into a
malignant tumor. An excess of female sex hormones ALWAYS brings about this
change. Because men and women have male and female sex hormones, when this
delicate male-female sex hormone balance is upset, malignant tumors (cancer) may
start.
In the human life cycle, the male sperm unites with the female egg. If this fertilized
egg would grow directly into a new baby, we would have no cancer or cancer
problems, but nature does not act so simply and directly, for if she did, the newly
formed embryo (baby) would fall out of the uterus. Therefore, nature had to develop
some way to attach the new embryo to the wall of the uterus and some way to
nourish (feed) it.
These cells, now trapped outside of the uterus, grow rapidly while trying to form a
placenta (a malignant tumor mass). In this uncontrollable state, they now have the
ability to invade (metastasize) the walls of the uterus to form the Cancer Mass
(placenta). This Cancer Mass first opens a blood supply to the embryo for
nourishment and then firmly attaches (metastasizes) the placenta to the walls of the
uterus. This prevents the embryo from falling out (aborting) of the uterus.
The direct cause of cancer, or, malignant tumor mass, is always the changing of a
primary Ectopic germ cell into an Ectopic Trophoblast cell. This process takes place
in all mammals, from the local skunk, to the orangutan in the White House.
After the sperm in the fallopian tube of the mother fertilizes the egg the fertilized
23
Winning The Cancer War
egg gives rise to three basic kinds of cells:
1. Trophoblast cells which form primitive germ cells, which form:
2. Primary germ cells, one of which forms the embryo, which then forms F
3. Normal body cells, also known as Somatic cells.
Many primary germ cells, which migrate to the testes or ovaries waiting to form the
next generation of cells, are trapped within the normal body cells, and occupy a
variety of abnormal positions within the new embryo's body.F
Upon stimulation by female hormones, these primary germ cells produce
Trophoblast cells, which can form a false placenta (a malignant tumor mass) in any
place of the embryo's body as it grows to a child or adult. These out of place "false
placentas" are in error and are called by the medical community "CANCER." The fact
is they are placentas or false placentas.

 you.
Many women have accepted the cultural dispatches and behave
in ways that they are supposed to when it comes to their own bodies.
Shave your legs and underarms, deodorize yourself everywhere,
perfume your body with foreign odors, sterilize your mouth, make
up your eyes, lips, cheeks, pad your bra, spray your genitals with
the appropriate bouquet and falsify your fingernails. The implication
is that there is something unpleasant about the natural you, the es-
sentially human you, andFIRST LOVE  / 35only by becoming artificial can you become attractive. That’s the
saddest part, that the end product is a fraudulent you that takes the
place of the natural self you carry around with you for most of your
life. You are being encouraged to reject that beautiful you. That ad-
vertisers would encourage you to do this is understandable in light
of profits to be made, but that you would buy the products is less
easy to understand in view of the fact that you’re choosing to throw
away the real you. You can stop hiding the beautiful, natural you.
Thus if you choose to use cosmetic aids of any kind, it will not be
based on disliking what you are covering up, but for reasons of
novelty or personal fulfillment. Being honest with yourself in this
realm is not easy, and it takes time to learn to distinguish what
pleases us from what the advertising business says should please
us.
Choosing More Positive Self-Images
It is possible to make the same kind of choices with all of your
self-images. You can choose to think of yourself as intelligent by
applying your very own standards to yourself. In fact, the happier
you make yourself, the more intelligent you are. If you are deficient
in any areas such as algebra, spelling or writing, it is simply the
natural result of choices you have been making up until now. Should
you decide to devote enough practice time to any of these tasks, you
would undoubtedly be more proficient in them. If your image of
yourself is of someone who is not too intelligent, remember what
we said about intelligence in Chapter I. If you underestimate your-
self, it is because you have bought that notion, and you compare
yourself to others on certain school-related variables.
It may surprise you to hear this, but you can choose to be as bright
as you desire. Aptitude is really a function of time, rather than some
inborn quality. One support for this belief can be found in the grade
norms for standardized achievement tests. These norms demonstrate
that scores achieved by the top stu-36 / Your Erroneous Zonesdents at one grade level are achieved by the majority of students at
a later grade level. Further studies show that although most students
eventually reach mastery on each learning task, some students
achieve mastery much sooner than do others. * Yet the label “defi-
cient” or even “retarded” is often attached to those who move more
slowly toward absolute mastery of a skill. Listen to John Carroll as
he talks on this point in his article, “A Model for School Learning,”
which appeared in Teachers College Record:
Aptitude is the amount of time required by the learner to attain
mastery of a learning task. Implicit in this formulation is the
assumption that, given enough time, all students can conceiv-
ably attain mastery of a learning task.
With enough time and effort you could, if you so chose, master
almost any academic skill. But you don’t make that choice, for very
good reasons. Why should you put that kind of present-moment
energy into solving obscure problems or learning something that
doesn’t interest you. Being happy, living effectively and loving are
far greater goals. The point is that intelligence is not something that
you inherited or had otherwise bestowed upon you. You are as smart
as you choose to be. Not liking how smart you’ve chosen to be is
mere self-contempt, which can lead only to injurious consequences
in your own life.
The logic of being able to choose your self-pictures applies to all
of the photographs of you that are lodged in your brain. You are as
socially adept as you choose to be. If you dislike the way you behave
socially, you can work at changing the behavior and not confusing
it with your own self-worth. Similarly, your artistic, mechanical,
athletic, musical and other abilities are largely the result of choices
and should not be confused with your worthiness. (See Chapter IV
for a full treatment of your self-descriptions and why you’ve chosen
them for yourself.) In
*Benjamin S. Bloom, et al., Handbook on Formative and Summative Evaluation of
Student Learning  (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1971).FIRST LOVE  / 37the same light, the preceding chapter made a case for your emotional
life being the product of your own choices. Self-acceptance based
upon what you believe to be appropriate for you is something you
can make a decision about now. Repairing those things that don’t
measure up can be a delightful undertaking, and there’s no reason
to choose to feel unworthy, just because there are things about
yourself that you’re going to improve.
Self-dislike can take many forms, and perhaps you engage in some
putting-down-of-yourself behavior. Here is a brief list of some typ-
ically recurring behavior that falls into this category of the self-veto.
• Rejecting compliments directed at you. (“Oh, this old thing….
I’m really not smart, just lucky I guess”…)
• Making up excuses for why you look nice. (“It’s my hairdresser,
she could make a toad look good”…“Believe me, it’s the wardrobe
that does it”…“Green is my color”…)
• Giving credit to others when it rightfully belongs to you. (“Thank
God for Michael, without him I would be nothing”…“Marie did all
the work, I just stood around and supervised”…)
• Using other-directed references when speaking. (“My husband
says”…“My mother feels”…“George always tells me that”…)
• Having your opinions verified by others. (“Isn’t that right
dear?”…“That’s what I said, didn’t I, Martha?”…“Just ask my hus-
band, he’ll tell you”…)
• Refusing to order something you want, not because you can’t
afford it (although this may be your stated reason) but because you
don’t feel that you’re worth it.
• Not having orgasms.
• Not buying yourself something because you think you have to
buy it for someone else, although sacrificing is not necessary;38 / Your Erroneous Zonesor not treating yourself to the things you would like to own, because
you’re not worth it.
• Avoiding indulgences such as flowers, wine or whatever, which
you love because that would be wasteful.
• In a crowded room, someone yells out, “Hey, Stupid,” and you
turn around.
• Using pet names for yourself (and having others use them as
well) that are really put-downs, including Dum-dum, Silly, Sweetie-
pie or Baby (for an adult), Funny-face, Shorty, Fatty, or Baldy.
• A friend or lover gives you a gift of jewelry. The thought in your
head goes something like this…“You must have a drawer full of
jewelry at home for other girls.”
• Someone tells you that you look good. The sentence in your
head is, “You’re practically blind or you must be trying to make me
feel good.”
• Someone takes you to a restaurant or theater. You think, “This
is how it is in the beginning, but how long will it last once he finds
out what kind of a person I really am?”
• A girlfriend accepts a date and you feel that she is going along
just to be charitable.
I once worked with a young woman who was quite attractive and
obviously much sought after by men. Shirley insisted, however, that
all her relationships ended badly and that, though she wanted des-
perately to marry, she had never had the opportunity. It came out
in counseling that Shirley was ruining each of her relationships
without realizing it. If a young man told her he cared for her or loved
her, Shirley’s head contradicted with “He’s only saying that because
he knows it’s what I want to hear.” Shirley was always searching
for a sentence that would repudiate her worth. There was no self-
love and so she rejected efforts by others to love her. She didn’t be-
lieve that anyone could find her appealing. Why? Because she didn’t
believe that she was worth being loved in the first place, and so the
intermi-FIRST LOVE  / 39nable cycle of renunciation was her way of reinforcing her notions
of her lack of worth.
While many of the items in the list above may appear to be petty,
they nevertheless are tiny indicators of self-rejection. If you sacrifice
or refuse to be extravagant with yourself, which often turns out to
be choosing hamburger-helper over lamb chops, it is because you
don’t feel you’re worth the better cut. Perhaps you’ve been taught
that common courtesy calls for denial of a compliment or that you
really aren’t attractive. These are the lessons you’ve learned and the
self-denying behavior is now second nature. There are numerous
examples of self-repudiation behavior that surface in conversations
and in everyday


 of appendicitis by
urine treatment. Here is its account:
. Shri Ramanlal Trivedi is a young man of thirty. For the past many
yeras, he has been suffering from constipation and other ailments.
On the right side corner of his stomach acute pain developed and
there was an attack of fever also. A doctor diagnosed it as a case of
appendicitis and he was advised for an operation. Dr. Salaria being
a surgeon was then consulted. The patient was then admitted in his
hospital on 25-10-58. Dr. Sal aria did not operate on him but insisted
upon him to adopt urine treatment. He was made to take auto-urine
thrice a day. An enema douche with two pints of urine was also DISORDERS OF THE INTESTINES : 127
given, as a r!;!sult of which much of the excreta passed out. This
treatment was repeated on the second and third day and all the hard
and undigested matter stuck to the intestines passed out. Normal
health was restored.
2 colitis (Swelling & 'Putrefaction of the Intestine) : Wrong
habi;s of eating lead ma~y people to suffer from c?litis eith:r in the
region of small intestine or the large one. S~ri Yog~ndra Pankh,. B.sc.
(Agriculture), suffered from this very pamful d1sease. He IS.. an
employee of Khadi Gramodyog Research Committee, ~anJan
Ashram, Ahmedabad. When allopathy and homoeopathy failed to
cure him, he consulted Dr. Adal Beharam, M.D.,?f Bo~bay. The
latter advised to adopt urine treatment which the pat1ent d1d and was
consequently relieved of his trouble. On the 12th & 15th M~rch,
1960 a seminar on urine was held in Ahmedabad to exchange v1ews
on urine treatment. Shri Yogindra Parikh read a detailed account of
his urine cure :
111 felt indisposed due to intense heat of April in Ahmedabad. ~n
Apri 1 1, 1 was attacked by influenza. After recv~cery th~refrom, In
the first week of May, 1 suffered from malaria wh1ch continued for a
week'. During this period of intense heat, I had about five loose
motions a· day. During daytime, 1 had to keep myself busy for 12 to
14 hours a day. With the trouble of loose motions, gas and stomach
troubles developed and some blood began to pass with stools.
11Now it was necessary to consult a doctor. He pre~c~ibed
medicine and advised me to refrain from wheat, oil and ch1ll1~~· I
took medicine for two weeks without any relief. But my cond1t1on
went from bad to wor~;e and ultimately on 19th June 1959 I had seek
admission to the Civil Hospital. The doctors examin:~.r:'Y stools
twice or thrice and tried hard to find out different poss1bd1tles of the
cause of colitis. But the real cause of ulcerative colitis could not be
traced out. 1 was not subjected to any operation. But the doctor kept
me under his supervision. 1 left the hospital after three days and was
then re-admitted in the private ward. Even after so many tes~s, no
one could detect the real cause of my trouble. The reports d1d not 128 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY
reveal anything. When I was leaving the hospital finally, Dr. N. C.
S~ah told me : "We have checked the disease but it may reapperar.
It •s not possible to eliminate it altogether."
111n such a condition I went to Bombay and began the
homoeopathic treatment. My case was a chronic one. In the
beginning, Dr. Adal Beharam gave me the waters of milk and
wood-apple. Cradua!ly I took lentil soup and herbal water, rice and
lentil preparation. There was definite improvenment by this
treatment. Within a month the improvement was so rapid that the
doctor feared a fresn attack of the disease. It turned out to be true. In
the rainy season, there was an attack of fever due to cold and
bleeding also started again. But in two weeks' treatment, 1 recovered
again and went to see Dr. Adal Beharam before retuning to
Ahmedabad.
"I chanced to see the book Manav Mutra. In those days 1 used to
consult various books on Ayurveda to know about my disease and
so naturally I came to know about this book also. I completed the
book in one sitting only. ·
"In monsoon the disease attacked me once more and bleeding
started again and my weight decreased. My wife Nilam had also
gone through the book. With courage and p«tience, I fasted on urine
for three days. According to the doctor's i~structions, 1 took urine
thrice a day and also got it rubbed on the entire body. On the
second day of drinking urine, there w< s change in the colour of
urine. Though somewhat saltish in taste, it became limpid like
water.
"During three days of fast, there were about seven motions,
Bleeding was more profuse but in the second week it decreased and
in the third, I started moving about. Naw I am quite all right. 1 have

CHAPTER XII
DISEASES OF THE KIDNEY
1. Inflammation of the Kidney (Nephritis) : Shri Ambalal K. Patel,
B.sc., L. L. B., is the store-superintendent in Ahmedabad Municipality.
He applied urine therapy on his younger daughter who was a patient
of nephritis and cured he:r. Here is the account of the case :
"Narayani is 8 years old. She fell a victim of nephritis in her early
age. Blood and pus passed in her urine and she became weaker day
by day. Sometimes she had pain in the throat and had attacks of
fever also. Her weaknees went on increasing. She had got her tonsils
operated by a surgeon an year ago. But the trouble and pain in her
throat continued. Nephritis is thought to be incurable and
particularly for women, it is dangerous. In this disease not only the
patient but the nurse· also are harassed a great deal. Medical
treatment for this· desease involves large expenses. 130 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY
"She was treated for one week in Lallubhai Gordhandas Hospital
at Maninagar. The same treatment was continued for ten days at
home. The trouble subsided for a while but revived in a more acute
form after two weeks. There was profuse bleeding in urine. This
disappointed me. My son-in-law resides at Bombay and is a
M.R.C.P. from Edinberg. He advised me to administer ten tablets
everyday and a course of penicillin which was to be continued for
six months. However I was not inclined towards this ·treatment. 1
~as not ready to wait for six months for this grievous malady to
disappear. From the very beginning I -had an idea to apply urine
treatment. narayani was also ready. She was greatly hesitant tu drink
her urine which was mixture of blood and pus. However she took
her entire urine, It was an ounce in quantity but it produced a
magical effect. After sometime she again passed urine which was
not as cloudy as before. She drank this also. After that her urine was
as clear as natural water. Consequently, she was convinced that
som~how the treatment suited her. So she started taking urinethree
to four times a day, two ounces of it each time
