MODULE 6.7
Fasting in Detoxification

Fasting, in some form or another, has probably been practiced since the
beginning of history, by humans and animals alike. Fasting is instinctual and
is associated with rest and energy management. I enjoyed a six-month orange
fast back in 1972. This turned out to be one of the most incredible
experiences in my life. I had so much energy that I kept having tremendous
out-of-body experiences that took me right into the heart of God.
There are basically two forms of fasting. The first one, known as “forced
fasting,” is literally forced upon us because of disease. You simply can’t eat.Or if you try, you simply can’t keep the food down. This is the body’s own
mechanism to divert much-needed energy from digestion to the immune,
lymphatic and endocrine systems. This gives our bodies energy to expel the
intruder, the obstruction or the congestion.
The second form of fasting is “conscious fasting,” which is done to
cleanse and restore the body. Conscious fasting builds self-discipline and
self-confidence. These are two important attributes to develop on the road to
good health.
Both forms of fasting are energy management for the body. Most of the
foods that humans eat rob their bodies of energy instead of giving it. Health
and vitality is energy; disease is a lack of energy. Fasting is the way the body
can rest from extensive digestive and metabolic issues. It uses that same
energy, instead, to clean itself out of acids and toxins, thus allowing itself to
heal.
Our digestive and eliminative systems become overworked and
weakened on a typical diet of meats, grains, dairy products, and the like.
Fasting allows the pancreas, stomach, liver, intestines, and even the kidneys
to have somewhat of a rest. This gives more energy to the immune, glandular
and lymphatic systems. Fasting at one level or another is vital in getting well.
There are many types of fasts you can do. Let’s explore four basic types
of fasting and then discuss how to properly stop or “break” a fast.
TYPES OF FASTS

All Raw-Food Fast
This of course is not really a fast since you are still eating food. But to most
people who eat heavy, cooked foods, this is definitely considered a fast.
Remember: no other animal cooks its food before eating it. Take this fast a
day at a time, and try to eat all raw food that day. Try this fast for 5, 10, 30 or
60 days in succession, eating only all raw foods, the longer the better. This
type of fast would include fresh raw fruits, fruit juices, vegetables and
vegetable juices. No “protein” type foods like nuts or seeds.
All Fruit FastI highly recommend this type of fast. Being frugivores, this fast would be
more harmonious with our physiological and anatomical processes and
design. Grapes should be the focus, organic if possible. If not organic, they
must be thoroughly washed as they would contain a high level of pesticides.
However, any fruit or combination of fruits, or melons, will do. As you will
learn in the next chapter, on food combining, “Eat melons alone or leave
them alone.” You could eat grapes alone, or watermelon, or apples, whatever
you like or crave. I’ve helped a lot of souls clean cancer out of their physical
bodies with grapes and grape juice fasts. Eat as much as you want. We do not
count calories on this program.
Juice Fasting
This is high-level fasting which gives your GI tract and digestive tract a rest.
Juice fasts are high-energy fasts that stimulate much-needed cleansing and
lymphatic movement, while keeping the kidneys flushed out. Juices still
supply glucose and fructose to cells for energy. Juices can be vegetable or
fruit; however, the power is within the fruit juice, especially fresh grape juice.
There are always exceptions to any rule. In a pancreatic cancer case I
worked with, the individual had stopped digesting food completely. I started
her on fruit juices only. Then I added vegetable juices, and finally, after a
short period of time, I added first raw fruit and then vegetables. The reason I
chose this method is simple. First, her pancreas had stopped digesting her
food. When she ate any food it came out in her stools undigested. I needed to
maintain her systemic energy but give her something that took little, if any,
effort for the pancreas to digest. A freshly-made fruit juice is the best choice
in this solution. I added vegetable juices after awhile, even though they are
harder to digest, but her pancreas had improved enough to handle them. I
also used liquid botanical extracts to enhance various organs and glands in
her body, especially the pancreas. I finally added solid foods starting with
fruits, again because of their high energy levels and ease of digestion. Finally
in eleven months, she was cancer free!
Water Fasting
This is the fourth and ultimate type of fasting. Water fasts should only be
done with R/O (reverse osmosis) or distilled water. At this level, your
digestive energy is totally given to the immune, lymphatic and glandular
systems. A water fast creates a high level of body cleansing and purging. Thebody, in its tremendous wisdom, will focus on removing stored toxins,
mucus and inflammation.
To the average individual, water fasting can give energy. However, in
weakened or depleted conditions the goal is to give energy to the body by
elevating the systemic energy. I do not recommend a water-only fast for
highly depleted and weakened individuals, especially those with cancer. This
is because one is not feeding the body energy, per se, so the body must work
with the energy it has.
Even though fasting gives most individuals energy, when you’re dealing
in advanced tissue weakness, raw foods, especially fruits, will empower the
body with nutrition and energy. Consuming high-energy fruits or fruit juices
will begin to bring one’s cellular and systemic energies up, at the same time
allowing for detoxification. Water fasting in highly-depleted cases can
enervate the body and lead to death. After the individual is built up, then
water fasting would be appropriate.
PREPARATION BEFORE FASTING

If you intend to “go all the way” up to juice or water fasting, you would want
to prepare yourself by eating raw foods for a week, spending the last couple
of days on fruits only. This helps clean the bowels of putrid matter, flushes
the liver and kidneys, and sets the body in proper motion for your fast.
Fasting can be fun and self-empowering. Its role in helping the body to
cleanse and restore itself has been proven over and over again. For long,
extended fasts, seek the advice of someone who is experienced in fasting and
detoxification.
WHEN TO “BREAK” A FAST

The best time to “break” a fast will be discovered by listening to your inner
guidance or intuition. You know your body better than anyone. Listen to it.
You’ll know when you have had enough. (But also, be fair and honest with
yourself, knowing that desire can creep in even though you may not actually
be hungry.) After about three days or so, one generally loses the desire
for
eating. This is because the body is starting to use that digestive energy forcleaning and healing. When you start feeling hungry again, this is a good
sign that you are ready to start eating. Remember to start with fruits only.
Another way to determine how long to fast is the tongue-examination
method. This is the old-fashioned method that I’ve used for years. When you
start fasting, your tongue will become coated with a thick white, yellow,
green, or brown substance. The more toxic you are, the thicker and darker
this coating becomes. Of course the healthier you are, the less your tongue
will coat when you fast. If you fast until your tongue becomes pink again,
you will have done a tremendous job of cleaning your body out.
Detoxification is an ongoing process that can take years. That sounds
worse than it is. Health should become one of your hobbies. Spend a good
year or so aggressively working on yourself; then set your new lifestyle in
motion with balance and harmony. This will be the new, healthier, vibrant,
cleaner and more aware you. As you grow spiritually, always seek to balance
your lifestyle and eating habits with your spiritual awareness. The more you
expand your awareness, the healthier and more energetically you will want to
eat. You want your physical body to keep up with you. Have fun on your
journey of health, vitality, and spirituality; there is nothing like it.
HOW TO “BREAK


 you  tonight  as never  before,  feel the Reality
of Your  Freedom;  the Power  of your  Presence  surging  in
and thru  you,  while  I am talking  to you ? Try  to feel  that
Flood  of Light,  flow  in, thru,  and  around  your  body;  and
into your  world,  just like  water  pouring  thru  your  body.
It is so very  wonderful,  once  you  can  begin  to feel  the
Tangibility  of Those  Great  Currents;  because  as you  be-
*34 DISCOURSE  VIII  135
come  accustomed  to It, you  can feel  It flow  thru  your  body;
just as though  water  were  running  over  your  body;  or
something  running  thru  the flesh  of your  body.  The  Vibra-
tory Action,  which  the Currents  of Energy  from  your  Pres-
ence  produce,  goes  thru  your  flesh,  quite  as readily  as the
blood  flows  thru  your  veins!  This  is how  today  in the
Service  We are endeavoring  to give,  Our  Vibratory  Action
will so hasten  your  Victory.  It is why  We are taking  advan-
tage of these  opportunities  in visiting  the Groups;  or as the
Messengers  visit  your  Groups,  We give  This  Service.
Do any  of you  think  for one  moment,  Our  Words  are
idle talk?  I trust  not!  It is a Mighty  Real  Thing,  Dear
Hearts!  You  may  not  quite  realize  It yet;  but  We,  the
Ascended  Beings,  are the Reality!  You—yet  in the limited
state,  are the unreality;  because  only  in unreality  does  im-
perfection  exist!
After  all, what  produces  limitation  and  imperfection  of
any kind?  Certainly  not  your  "I AM  Presence"!  Then,
what  does  produce  it? Your  qualification  acting  within
your  feeling  world,  Dear  Hearts!  It is the only  thing  in
the world  which  stands  between  you  and  the Perfection
which  We  have.  Think  of it! Think  of it, Beloved  Ones!
Just your  power  of qualification,  acting  within  your  feeling
world,  is all that  stands  between  you  and  the Great  Per-
fection  and  Freedom  which  We  have!
It is not difficult.  You  today,  can be in Our  Same  Position;
and stand  beside  Us in such  a short  time;  in comparison
with  the  long  period  in which  you  have  been  drawing 136 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
yourselves  into  these  limitations.  Think  of the  Mercy  of
the Great  Law,  Dear  Hearts,  that  has provided  the Means
by which  Beloved  Saint  Germain  has brought  This  Under-
standing,  so magnificently  to your  attention;  for you  have
been  centuries,  hundreds  of centuries,  bringing  yourselves
into this  present  limitation!  Yet,  it is absolutely  True,  in a
few months  at most,  you  can—by  calling  your  Presence
into action,  to use the Violet  Consuming  Flame,  free  your-
self completely  from  every  discordant  and  undesirable  ac-
cumulation  of the centuries.
The proof  stands  before  you,  and  I am going  to give  the
Messenger  a Surprise  tonight.  He  wondered  why  the
change  took  place  in the  mode  of His  receiving  These
Dictations  on his return  from  Honolulu.  That  was  because
the last vestige  of his own  human  accumulation,  had  been
consumed.
Remember,  please  Dear  Ones  tonight,  as the Momentum
is gained  by the Application  of the Students,  you  are not
just in Seattle;  you  are one  with  all the Sincere  Students—
in the  mental  and  feeling  world  thruout  America!  Will
you please  try and  remember,  in your  Application  when
you are earnest,  sincere  and  determined,  you  are then  acting
within  the stratum  or octave  of every  other  "I AM"  Student
in America!  That  is why  These  Decrees  are so powerful  to
set you  Free;  because  you  are having  the combined  efforts
of all for the same  purpose.
In rendering  the Service  to America  and  your  fellowmen,
I may  not yet say to you,  just  how  much  you  amplify  and DISCOURSE  VIII  137
intensify  your  own  Call,  for your  own  Individual  Freedom;
but remember,  a Service  of that  kind  may  do for you,  what
no single  human  effort  would  do; because  when  you  Joy-
ously  and  Willingly  give  Service  to America  and  your  fel-
lowman,  you  have  entered  into  a Vast  Stream  of Perfection,
Activity  and  Power!
As you  come  to realize  this,  you  will  see every  single
effort  you  make,  toward  your  Freedom  and  Perfection—in
the Acknowledgment  of your  Presence,  becomes  a Power-
ful Thing  in your  Life,  There  is no limit  to what  can  be
done  for you!  That  is why  I have  made  some  seemingly,
almost  drastic  Statements  recently;  because  I want  you,  if
you will,  to awaken  to the Reality  that  your  Presence  is
All-powerful.  Its Light  knows  no resistance  nor  interfer-
ence,  when  you  call  It into  action;  and  to the degree  you
can feel  It, will  you  have  a Speed  and  Activity,  not only  in
the perfecting  of the atomic  structure  of your  body,  but in
the Expansion  of your  Light.
In the activity  of your  world,  there  is no limit!  Try  to
feel it as never  before!  I want  to say to some  of the Blessed
Ones  here  in Seattle  who  have  felt considerable  struggle:
please  do not let your  human  self  govern  you  longer,  in
This  Understanding  of your  "I AM  Presence."  Try  to re-
lease  It! I will  help  you!  Place  everything  in the Hands  of
your  Presence!  Your  Presence  is your  Treasure-house!  Its
Wisdom  governs  everything  concerning  the Release  of the
money  or what  else  you  require  for use.  It is the Authority!
It is the Certain  Release,  and  if channels  be used,  Dear 138 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
Ones,  then  the Wisdom  of your  Presence  will  select  those
channels!  It will  bring  you  in touch  with  whatever  is re-
quired,  if you  really  put  things  in the Hands  of the Pres-
ence;  to release  all you  require  for use.  It cannot  fail.
Don't  let your  human  make  you  waver  or longer  feel,
because  of the appearance  world,  you  still  exist  in the same
state,  you  were  in yesterday.  Not  one  of you  Beloved  Stu-
dents  in Seattle,  is the same  as you  were  yesterday.  Why ?
Because  We  are doing  a Tremendous  Work  in your  city;
and you  will  see the result  of It later!  For  everyone  who  is
earnest  and  sincere,  We are releasing  into  his or her world
of activity,  a Power  from  which  those  Blessed  Ones  will
see the Results.
No matter  how  great  the stress  may  seem,  even  tonight,
still say to that  appearance:  "You  have  no power!  There  is
only  One  Power  which  is governing  my world

Our bodies have a natural self-cleansing for maintaining a
clean, healthy body and our "river of life" – our blood. It’s essential
we keep our entire bodily machinery from head to toes healthyand in good working order so nothing breaks down!
Fasting is the best detoxifying method. It's also the most
effective and safest way to increase elimination of waste buildupsand enhance the body's miraculous self-healing and self-repairingprocess that keeps you healthy and youthful.
If you prepare for a fast by eating a cleansing diet for 1 to 2
days, this can greatly facilitate the cleansing process.  Fresh varietysalads and organic vegetables, fruits and their juices, as well asfruit pep drinks and green drinks (alfalfa, barley green, chlorella,spirulina, wheatgrass, etc.) stimulates waste elimination. Freshfoods and juices can literally pick up dead matter from yourbody and dispose of it. After pre-cleansing period start your fast.
Daily, even on most fast days, we take from
1,000  to 3,000
mg. of mixed vitamin C powder (C concentrate, acerola, rosehipsand bioflavonoids) in liquids. It’s a potent antioxidant andflushes out deadly free radicals. It also promotes collagenproduction for new healthy tissues and it’s also important if youare detoxifying from prescription drugs or alcohol overload.
A moderate, well planned distilled water fast is our favorite
or the introductory fast of diluted fresh juice (35% distilledwater). Both can cleanse your body of excess mucus, old fecalmatter, trapped cellular, non-food wastes and help removeinorganic mineral deposits and sludge from your pipes and joints.
Fasting works by self-digestion. During a fast your body
intuitively will decompose and burn only the substances andtissues that are damaged, diseased or unneeded, such as abscesses,tumors, excess fat deposits, excess water and congestive wastes.Even a short fast (1 to 3 days) will accelerate elimination fromyour liver, kidneys, lungs, bloodstream and skin. Sometimes youwill experience dramatic changes (cleansing and healing crisis)as accumulated wastes are expelled. With your first fasts youmay temporarily have cleansing headaches, fatigue, body odor,bad breath, coated tongue, mouth sores and even diarrhea asyour body is cleaning house. Please be patient with your body!
After a fast your body begins to healthfully rebalance when
you faithfully follow The Bragg Healthy Lifestyle. Your weekly24 hour fast removes toxins on a regular basis, so they don'taccumulate. Your energy levels will rise and shine – physically,mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Your creativity expands.You will feel like a "new you" – which you are – you are being
cleansed, purified and reborn.  Fasting is a miracle!
You are what you eat, drink, breathe, think, say and do! – Patricia Bragg

 black
hole because of the effort we all exert to avoid existential anxiety, fears
about just being here on earth. Keeping away from a black hole seems like a
good tactic, but it isn’t the same as healing. If left unhealed a black hole
only gets larger until it becomes a gaping wound. The largest wound you
can have is the wound of separation, the trauma of losing love, spirit, God.
This is the primal black hole; it breaks you off from the source of love,
peace, and joy.
Someone who hasn’ t healed this primal absence will have no energy to
cope with life in any but the most basic ways—the black hole will seem to
undermine all optimism and meaning; there will be a floating sense of dread
that may not be felt directly but that drains the vitality of existe nce. This is
the condition known as despair. Approaching the primal black hole results
in feelings of devastation, deprivation, being stripped to the bone, and
massive fear of death. The follo wing is a test based on primal fears about
survival.
Answering as honestly as you can, how many of the following things do
you think could happen to you before you are seventy years old? (If you are
already over seventy, how many do you think might still happen to you?)I might lose my job and be out of work for a year.
I might lose my house.
I might be audited by the IRS.
I might get cancer.
I might be arrested.
I might go bankrupt.
I might lose my family.
I might get a divorce.
I might be fired.
I might be humiliated over an af fair or other sexual misconduct.
I might have a heart attack.
I might be cheated out of a lot of money.
I might be sued.
I might start drinking heavily.
I might not be able to pay my bills.
I might die.
Total your score—16 is maximum. The aim of this test is to find out if you
are prey to survival fears.
A score of 9 or more means that you have great anxiety about your
survival. You approach life defensively and are not likely to be the kind of
person who has found a spiritua l vision or any strong inner purpose in life.
Because you are so busy avoiding or obsessing about all the horrible things
that might happen to you, you don’t have much time to seek higher
fulfillment.
If your score is 8 or less, you have a realistic view of life’s dangers. You
may or may not be spiritual, you may not even see yourself as a seeker, but
at least you have  created enough inner expansiveness that spirit  can contact
you. You feel open to the world and interested in its possibilities. Whereas a
person with strong survival fears thinks that life is dangerous with islands
of safety, you think life is safe with a few islands of danger.
If you scored 0, you are denyin g reality. Either you didn’ t take the test
seriously or you live in a fantasy of invulnerability. You are likely to take
big risks that end in disaster, although you would be the last to admit it.
Survival fear is the deepest motivation for attachment. Whenever you
feel that you have to hang on and cling to something in order to survive,
you are perched over a black hole. Although this is a powerful metaphor,
many people do not believe that black holes are real. Let’s take a specific
example: physical appearance is a source of insecurity for almost everyone,
men and women alike. Women tend to express this insecurity directly with
thoughts such as “I’m not pretty,” “I’m too fat,” “My breasts are too small,”“I’m not young anymore.” Men tend to express this insecurity indirectly
with thoughts such as “I’m out of shape,” “I can’t perform the way I used
to,” “W omen don’ t notice me,” “I’m lucky anybody will have me.”
These are all negative thoughts that we cling to for one reason only: we
are protecting ourselves from even worse thoughts lying underneath. For
example, a woman who says, “I hate this dress,” could be defen ding herself
from the thought “I’m too fat,” which in turn could be protection from
“Everyone think s I’m ugly,” which if peeled back would revea l something
like “I don’t deserve love.” Horr ible as it would be to live with that thought,
it too is a defense that your psyche will cling to if it must, because the next
layer down says, “I don’t deserve to live,” and beneath that “I am nothing.”
The worst experience you can imagine is to approach a black hole;
therefore you paper it over with layer after layer of defenses. None of these
defenses is positive, all are negative, some a lot more negative than others.
But once you’ve faced your fears about survival, there is nothing left to
cling to—a black hole lies straight ahead.
Fortunately, the terror of a black hole can be disarmed before any crisis
or trauma occurs. This is done in a very simple way:
Black holes ar e healed by filling them with spirit. Despite their terr or, black holes ar e just lack of
love.
The following statements expre ss a healing attitude toward any extreme
fear, or the need it arouses:
I do not lack for anything.
Fear is always wrong—even if bad things happen, they will increase my knowledge and strength.
My life is mine to take care of. I can do it.
Spirit is always my ally.
No matter what, I am enough.
How does your beloved fit into this? You can both take the healing
journey based on the safety you first found in love. Falling in love removes
the immediate pain of loss and gives a taste of what it feels like to be whole
and full. Wisdom tells us that this is only temporary. Love from  an external
source can never be raised above the field of change. The only eternal
relationship anyone ever has is with the higher Self. Sometimes in the madpassion of romance you can feel as if your beloved is inside your heart. This
feeling comes from having a loveless space filled.
The real spiritual work is to fill this lack yourself, which is a kind of
circular process. The mind can be trained into self-love by being shown,
over and over, that the higher Self is a safe haven of love and protection.
The higher Self cannot protect you until you seek its security; this process
begins when you devote time and energy to self-love. Self-love grows when
you refuse to follow the impulse s of anger and fear, trust that the universe is
on your side, form your desires from the heart and watch the higher Self
carry them out, believe that you are enough in and of yourself, heed the
tenderness and sweetness of your love for others, put your attention on
positive energies in every situation, honor your own needs without having
to seek outside approval, and cultivate the peace of inner silence.
When you put these things foremost in your relationships, you will help
your beloved toward self-love instead of expecting love to be constantly
directed at you. Most of us approach things exactly the wrong way around.
As though we were children we first want someone else to make us feel
secure by lavishing us with affection and approval. But you are the source
of love, which is full to overflo wing. When you have done your spiritual
work, you will fill in the black holes that keep you from that source. Letting
go, although frightening to the ego, is actually entering into the boundless
ocean of love.
I am reminded of Walt Whitman, who poured forth his exuberance in
rapturous embrace of everything  around him yet was equally the unattached
observer who rested at peace with the inner man:
I exist as I am, that is enough,
If no other in the world be aware I sit content,
And if each and all be aware I sit content.
One world is aware, and by far the lar gest to me, and that is myself,
And whether I come to my own today or in ten thousand or ten million years,
I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness I can wait...
I laugh at what you call dissolution,
And I know the amplitude of time.
At some  point every love story reaches this all-embracing state of peace
within. There is no way to achieve real contentment, real fulfillment otherthan through the Self.

Connor ’s Story
CONNOR, AN OLDER  former patient of mine, came to me recently expressing
deep distress over what had happened to Mary Patrick, his wife of thirty
years. Both immigrants from Ireland, where they had married late in life,
Connor and Mary Patrick were seventy but still good looking and vigorous.
After a long period of calm and happiness in their lives, their youngest son
contracted AIDS and died. The family was grief stricken, but the boy’s
mother healed her grief by reaching out to others. Mary Patrick became a
full-time advocate for AIDS victims. She worked politically on various
fronts but spent most of her time offering herself personally, driving AIDS
patients to the grocery store, visiting them in the hospital, clearing the way
for them to pay their enormous medical bills.
“Your wife soun ds like a saint, ” I told Connor, unembarrassed to use a
cliché because nothing less would fit. Connor had a defiant look in his eyes.
“You think so? Then why was she diagnosed last week with advanced lung
cancer?” he asked bitterly.

became identified with the picture. He became absorbed in the  mental
atmosphere, repeating the mental movie frequently. There wa s no
room for doubt that a healing would follow. When there was any
temptation to drink, he would switch his imagination from any
reveries of drinking bouts to the feeling of being at home wi th his
family. He was successful because he confidently expected to
experience the picture he was developing in his mind. Today he  is
president of a multimillion-dollar concern and is radiantly happy.
• He said a jinx was following him
Mr. Block said that he had been making an annual income of
$20,000, but for the past three months all doors seemed to jam tightl y.
He brought clients up to the point where they were about to s ign on
the dotted line, and then at the eleventh hour the door closed. He
added that perhaps a jinx was following him.
In discussing the matter with Mr. Block, I discovered that three
months previously he had become very irritated, annoyed, and
resentful toward a dentist who, after he had promised to sign a
contract, had withdrawn at the last moment. He began to live i n the
unconscious fear that other clients would do the same, thereby se tting
up a history of frustration, hostility, and obstacles. He graduall y built
 191  up in his mind a belief in obstruc-tion and last minute cancell ations
until a vicious circle had been established. What I fear most has come
upon me. Mr. Block realized that the trouble was in his mind, and that
it was essential to change his mental attitude.
His run of so-called misfortune was broken in the follow-ing way:
“I realize I am one with the infinite intelligence of my  subconscious
mind which knows no obstacle, difficulty, or delay. I live in the
joyous expectancy of the best. My deeper mind responds to my
thoughts. I know that the work of the infinite power of my
subconscious cannot be hindered. Infinite intelligence always f inishes
successfully whatever it begins. Creative wisdom works through me
bringing all my plans and purposes to completion. Whatever I st art, I
bring to a success-ful conclusion. My aim in life is to give  wonderful
service, and all those whom I contact are blessed by what I ha ve to
offer. All my work comes to full fruition in divine order.”
He repeated this prayer every morning before going to call o n his
customers, and he also prayed each night prior to sleep. In a short time
he had established a new habit pattern in his subconscious mind, and
he was back in his old accustomed stride as a successful salesman.
• How much do you want what you want?
A young man asked Socrates how he could get wisdom. Socrates
replied, “Come with me.” He took the lad to a river, pushed th e boy’s
head under the water, held it there until the boy was gaspi ng for air,
then relaxed and released his head. When the boy regained his
composure, he asked him, “What did you desire most when you were
under water?”
“I wanted air,” said the boy.
Socrates said to him, “When you want wisdom as much as you
wanted air when you were immersed in the water, you will receive it.”
Likewise, when you really have an intense desire to over-come any
block in your life, and you come to a clear-cut de-cision that the re is a
 192  way out, and that is the course you wish to follow, then victory and
triumph are assured.
If you really want peace of mind and inner calm, you will get it.
Regardless of how unjustly you have been treated, or how unfair th e
boss has been, or what a mean scoundrel some-one has proved to be,
all this makes no difference to you when you awaken to your mental
and spiritual powers. You know what you want, and you will
definitely refuse to let the thieves (thoughts) of hatred, anger, hostility,
and ill will rob you of peace, harmony, health, and happiness. You
cease to become upset by people, conditions, news, and events by
identifying your thoughts immediately with your aim in life. You r aim
is peace, health, inspiration, harmony, and abundance. Feel a ri ver of
peace flowing through you now. Your thought is the immaterial and
invisible power, and you choose to let it bless, inspire, and giv e you
peace.
• Why he could not be healed
This is a case history of a married man with four children who was
supporting and secretly living with another woman during his business
trips.
He was ill, nervous, irritable, and cantankerous, and he could not
sleep without drugs. The doctor’s medicine failed to bring down hi s
high blood pressure of over two hundred. He had pains in numerous
organs of his body, which doctors could not diagnose or relieve. To
make matters worse, he was drinking heavily.
The cause of all this was a deep unconscious sense of guilt. H e had
violated the marriage vows, and this troubled him. The religi ous creed
he was brought up on was deeply lodged in his subconscious mind,
and he drank excessively to heal the wound of guilt. Some invalids
take morphine and codeine for severe pains; he was taking a lcohol for
the pain or wound in his mind. It was the old story of adding fue l to
the fire.

 193  • The explanation and the cure
He listened to the explanation of how his mind worked. He faced his
problem, looked at it, and gave up his dual role. He knew that h is
drinking was an unconscious attempt to escape. The hidden cause
lodged in his subconscious mind had to be eradicated; then the healing
would follow.
He began to impress his subconscious mind three or four times a
day by using the following prayer: “My mind is full of peace, poise,
balance, and equilibrium. The infinite lies stretched in smi ling repose
within me. I am not afraid of anything in the past, the present, or the
future. The infinite intelligence of my subconscious mind leads,
guides, and directs me in all ways. I now meet every situation w ith
faith, poise, calmness, and confidence.
I am now completely free from the habit. My mind is full of i nner
peace, freedom, and joy. I forgive myself; then I am forgiven. Peace,
sobriety, and confidence reign supreme in my mind.”
He repeated this prayer frequently as outlined; being fully  aware of
what he was doing and why he was doing it. Knowing what he was
doing gave him the necessary faith and confidence. I explained t o him
that as he spoke these statements out loud, slowly, lovingly, and
meaningfully, they would gradually sink down into his subconscious
mind. Like seeds, they would grow after their kind. These truth s, on
which he concentrated, went in through his eyes, his ears heard the
sound, and the healing vibrations of these words reached his
subconscious mind and obliterated all the negative mental pa tterns
which caused all the trouble. Light dispels darkness. The constr uctive
thought de-stroys the negative thought. He became a transformed man
within a month.
• Refusing to admit it
If you are an alcoholic or drug addict, admit it. Do not dodge the
issue. Many people remain alcoholics because they refuse to admit i t.
 194  Your disease is instability, an inner fear. You are refusing t o face
life, and so you try to escape your responsi-bilities through t he bottle.
As an alcoholic you have no free will, although you think you have,
and you may even boast about your will power. If you are a habitual
drunkard and say bravely, “I will not touch it any more,” you have no
power to make this assertion come true, because you do not know
where to locate the power.
You are living in a psychological prison of your own making, and
you are bound by your beliefs, opinions, training, and environmenta l
influences.
Like most people, you are a creature of habit. You are con ditioned
to react the way you do.
• Building in the idea of freedom
You can build the idea of freedom and peace of mind into your
mentality so that it reaches your subconscious depths. The latter, be ing
allpowerful, will free you from all desire for alcohol. The n, you will
have the new understanding of how your mind works, and you can
truly back up your statement and prove the truth to yourself.
• Fifty-one percent healed
If you have a keen desire to free yourself

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
The following list of words and terms is often used in describing bo wel conditions and management. I have attempted to limit the
use of technical vocabulary as much as possible so as to keep this discussion on a level that anyone can follow, regardless o f
education or training.
> Adhesion: 1. A holding together of two str uctures which are normally separate by new tissue produced by inflammation or

mucosa, lubricating the intestinal walls, softening the bowel contents by increasing the amount of water in the intestines, and
increasing the bulk of the bowel contents.
> Lymph. An alkaline fluid found in the lymphatic vessels and the cisterna chyli. It is usually a clear, transparent, colorle ss fluid;
however, in vessels draining the intestines it may appear milky owing to presence of absorbed fats.

ADDENDUM
SURGEON LECTURES ON BOWEL IMPORTANCE
Not only are many bowel problems and surgeries avoidable through proper nutrition, but chronic diseases originating in the bo wel
can be prevented by a correct diet. Dr. Denis P. Burkitt, a famous English surgeon, told a group of 200 prominent U.S. physicians
that problems like obesity, diabetes, hiatus hernia, appendicitis, diverticulosis, colitis, polyps and cancer of the colon ar e virtually
unheard of among rural East Africans. The rural East African diet is high in fre sh fruit, vegetables and coarse -ground cereal grains.
The rough bran from the grain absorbs water, increases the bulk of bowel wastes and speeds up elimination time, keeping the
bowel clean and healthy. Conspicuously absent in the rural diet are white flou r, white sugar and other refined carbohydrates so
common in Western countries and urban areas of Africa. Burkitt’s conclusions are based on data gathered in the Congo, Kenya,
Uganda, Sudan and other underdeveloped parts of the world. Evidence from cancer s tudies at the University of San Francisco
indicates that a toxic colon and constipation are linked to the appearance of abnormal cells elsewhere in the body. Proper bo wel
care, according to Dr. Burkitt, through right nutrition is


. Raojibhai was wonder-struck and after listening his story, became all the more convinced of magical powers of urine.  When Raojibhai saw Shri Ranjitbhai, there were few white spots left on the extremities of his hands and feet. However Ranjitbhai was convinced that these too will vanish after some time.  The above case-history shows that if rules are followed rigidly and a natural life is led, wonders can be done with urine therapy.  Miracles of Urine Therapy by Morarji Desai  LONG LIFE  Adrian Llamas {Texas, USA} "I am a young adult. I AM very interested in the urine-therapy, since my maternal grandfathers believes this. The only difference is that he asks me for my urine. He lives very healthy and is now 92 years old. I hope to have the same fortune that my grandfather has. Confide in my faith and the Urine-therapy."  Adrian LLamas, the Step, Texas E.U.Friday, October 13, 2000  World-wide Case Histories of Urine Therapy by Gary Ward  LOSS OF LIFE  “Shri V. S. Nimbarkar (The Janata Cloth Market, Tulsi Pipe Road, Dadar, Bombay) could free himself and his friends from diseases like loss of hunger, pain in the stomach, and other ailments by urine therapy.”  Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  LOW BLOOD PRESSURE  “Shri Devdas Pandya of Nadiad (of Kala Mandir) suffered from low blood-pressure and was feeling discomfort and weakness due to it. He had a relative who was a Vaidya and wanted him to undertake urine treatment. He devised a trick for this. He used to collect urine of Shri Pandya on the pretext of its examination and returned the same telling him to be cow’s urine! Shri Pandya used to drink it thinking it to be so. As a result, his blood-pressure went up from 110 to 122 and weakness diminished. 135  Had the Vaidya asked him in the beginning to drink auto-urine, he would not have done so. So he was compelled to give it in the name of cow’s urine. Now he has overcome nausea and can participate in a number of activities without feeling any exercion.”  Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  LOW BLOOD PRESSURE  Beatriz Eugenia F. { Mexico } "The last year I suffered low blood pressure. My counts lowered me to 30 to 50, and I now have migraines. When I went to the supermarket they had to take me in a wheelchair. Taking Urine, I improved remarkably. In the beginning, I stayed with my drugs. Later I was stopping the drugs little by little and increasing the dose of Urine. I have not done a fast and perhaps that is the reason I have not cured myself of nervousness. God and am going to do one."  World-wide Case Histories of Urine Therapy by Gary Ward  LUPUS ERYTHEMATOUS  lvon M. Gonzalez. { Mexico } "I have big thanks to God a very great testimony with the Urine-therapy. I was ill with Erythematous Lupus for 6 years. The Doctors said to me that it was an incurable disease. I felt very sad and looked for alternative for health. Thank God I found eastern natural method.   At the moment I have 3 years in taking my own Urine and my studies already left negative disease here in Mexico and the United States. I do not have words to be thankful to all the aid that it has offered me. God bless them."  World-wide Case Histories of Urine Therapy by Gary Ward  LUNG CAVITY   “ N.Thanker, age twenty-eight, had a cavity on the left lung. She was vomiting blood and had fever and cold and gasping. She took to Urine Therapy, and in 13 days blood vomit stopped without any reaction. Gasping and cold vanished, and she felt far better. She could eat, as appetite increased. Ultimately she cured herself completely from this fatal malady.”  136 Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn  LUNG SMOKE  Fireman Michael Maloney was concerned about the smoke that he was breathing daily and the effects it could have on his health. He heard a radio interview I gave in 1992 and attended one of my lectures. To test his endurance, he would time how long he could hold his breath, which was usually about a minute. To clear his lungs he decided to breathe the vapors of boiling urine five to ten minutes every day after work. Four days later, he developed a severe “healing crisis” that forced him to stay home three days. Two weeks later, he started breathing vapors again, but this time he had no healing crisis. Uropathy had increased his oxygen absorbing capacity so much that he held his head under water for more than three minutes to show his coworkers what urine had done for him.”  Uropathy by Martin J. Lara  LYME DISEASE  Urine Therapy is Healing Me From 7 Year Battle with Lyme Disease  “I just wanted to let anyone out there with lyme disease know that I'm being healed of lyme disease with urine. I didn't expect to be recovering this quickly. I've only been doing urine therapy for a little over a week. The muscle pain and arthritis that was KILLING me is now easing up considerably!! Although I have been improving with natural supplements, nothing has helped me this drastically ever! I thought I was going to die with this, now I know I won't! My whole family has lyme but only me and my son are doing the therapy. He had kidney stones and was in terrible pain and now he has NO stomach pain. I am a believer in urine therapy and I will do it until I completely recover and even after I do. This has been my best friend and the biggest blessing from God!!”  Username: MichelleT Date: 1/23/2006 6:27:57 PM 984 From curezone.org  “I have been doing UT for about 3 weeks. I had thrush for several years after taking antibiotics for lyme disease for many years. I now no longer have thrush since I’ve been doing UT. The yeast problem is going away for me in a very short time period. I don’t know how much you’ve read about UT but it is the oldest medicine. It has been known to cure just about any disease.Like everything, you must stick with it and don’t stop 137 doing it when a Herx heimer comes. I had one yesterday after getting a shot of UT. I feel much better today.”  Update from MichelleT Date: 2/2/2006 1:42:47 PM From curezone.org  LYME DISEASE  “Lyme Disease- Muriel had been suffering with Lyme Disease for more than 5 years when I met her accidentally. I was supposed to visit 515 W26 Street and 512 W29 Street to investigate complaints concerning the plumbing work in the buildings. I ended up going into 515 on W29 Street and while there I started talking to the super about my book and the treatments I suggest for viral diseases. That is when Muriel walked into the elevator. I explained to her that I was not a doctor or a physician but the treatments suggested had worked for a man who had Lyme disease for 10 years and subsequently cured himself with one injection of fresh urine intramuscularly. It sounded a little bizarre to Muriel but the disease had just flared-up keeping her out of work for a week or so and she was desperate to try anything. Lyme is a viral disease deemed almost incurable by doctors requiring a strong dosage of antibiotics for a year. The virus is hard to kill because it hides in the nervous system where it mutates and flares-up every three months or so. A urine injection is effective against this and all other viral diseases because urine passes through the brain barrier and help the nervous system’s cells build resistance against the virus. I suggested she do a Urine Therapy search on the Internet and that she purchased my book to get more information. She read more about the treatment and applied as suggested. Four weeks later I met the super of the building in the subway and he told me that Muriel was doing great with a single application.” From curezone.org  LYMPH GLANDS   Mr. D.v.K... The Netherlands "I started using urine therapy when I stopped smoking. I had read that urine therapy has a detoxifying effect, and that was just what I needed. I carefully started drinking the urine in small sips (literally shivering with disgust), massaging myself with five-day-old urine, and even sniffing it into my nostrils. The whole day I thought I smelled urine everywhere a strange experience! After a few days my kidneys started to hurt, as if somebody were wringing them out by squeezing them. I regularly suffered from 138 shooting pains and after a few days my urine contained fine grit. The grit could have been caused by the contraction of the kidneys, but I cannot be sure of this. After a week, I had enough of this arid so I stopped. After eight weeks I cautiously started again: the first few mornings I only rinsed with urine and thereafter started to gargle. From time to time I drank a small sip; I started to massage my face with fresh urine, and later with old urine. After two days, I noticed that the urine had an unusual effect on my skin. My pores, which were often oily, were much cleaner and my skin softer. This second attempt at using urine therapy went much better. After a.f

Guergieff and Ouspensky fourth -way study groups, EST workshops, Zen Meditation classes. Refugee Lamas from Tibet gave
lectures on The Book of the Dead and led m editation and chanting sessions, and we held communication classes using Scientology
techniques. There were anatomy and physiology classes, classes on nutrition and the orthomolecular approach to treating menta l
disorders (given by me of course); there wer e chiropractors teaching adjustment techniques, even first aid classes. And we even
had a few medical doctors of the alternative ilk who were interested in life style changes as an approach to maintaining heal th.
    Classes were also offered on colon hea lth including herbs, clays, enemas, and colonics. So many of my client at Great Oaks
were demanding colonics in conjunction with their cleansing programs, that I took time out to go to Indio, Calif. to take a c ourse in
colon therapy from a chiropractor, an d purchase a state of the art colonic machine featuring all the gauges, electric water solenoids
and stainless steel knobs one could ask for.
    During this period almost all alternative therapists and their specialties were very interesting to me, but I found that most of the
approaches they advocated did not suit my personality. For example, I think that acupuncture is a very useful tool, but I per sonally
did not want to use needles. Similarly I thought that Rolfing was a very effective tool but I did no t enjoy administering that much
pain, although a significant number of the clients really wanted pain. Some of the techniques appealed to me in the beginning, and
I used them frequently with good results but over time I decided to abandon them, mostly beca use of a desire to simplify and
lighten up my bag of tricks.
    Because of my enthusiasm and successes Great Oaks kept on growing. Originally the estate served as both the offices of the
Holt Adoption Agency and the Holt family mansion. The Holt family ha d consisted of Harry and Bertha Holt, six of their
biological children, and eight adopted Korean orphans. For this reason the ten thousand square foot two story house had large
common rooms, and lots and lots of bedrooms. It was ideal for housing spa clien ts and my own family. The adjoining Holt
Adoption Agency office building was also very large with a multitude of rooms. It became living space for those helpers and
hangers -on we came to refer to as "community members." My first husband added even more to the physical plant constructing a
large, rustic gym and workshop.
    Many "alternative" people visited and then begged to stay on with room and board provided in exchange for their work. A few
of these people made a significant contribution such as cooki ng, child care, gardening, tending the ever -ravenous wood -fired boiler
we used to keep the huge concrete mansion heated, or doing general cleaning. But the majority of the ‘work exchangers' did no t
really understand what work really was, or didn't have suf ficient ethical presence to uphold the principle of fair exchange, which is
basically giving something of equal value for getting something of value and, perhaps more importantly, giving in exchange wh at
is needed and asked for.
    I also found that comm unity members, once in residence, were very difficult to dislodge. My healing services were supporting
far too much dead wood. This was basically my own fault, my own poor management.
    Still, I learned a great deal from all of this waste. First of all i t is not a genuine service to another human being to give them
something for nothing. If a fair exchange is expected and received, positive ethical behavior is strengthened, allowing the
individual to maintain their self -respect. I also came to realize wha t an important factor conducting one's life ethically is in the
individual healing process. Those patients who were out exchange in their relationships with others in one or more areas of t heir
life frequently did not get well until they changed these beha viors.
    Toward the end of 1982, after providing a decade of services to a great many clients, many of these in critical condition, I
reached to point where I was physically, mentally, and spiritually drained. I needed a vacation desperately but no one, including
my first husband, could run Great Oaks in my absence much less cover the heavy mortgage. So I decided to sell it. This decisi on
stunned the community members and shocked the clientele who had become dependent on my services. I also got a divorce at this
time. In fact I went through quite a dramatic life change in many areas --true to pattern, a classic mid -life crisis. All I kept from
these years was my two daughters, my life experiences, and far too many books from the enormous Great Oaks library.
     These changes were however, necessary for my survival. Any person who works with, yes, lives on a day -to-day basis with sick
people and who is constantly giving or outflowing must take time out to refill their vessel so that they can give again. Fail ure to do
this can result in a serious loss of health, or death. Most healers are empathic people who feel other peoples' pains and str esses and
sometimes have difficulty determining exactly what is their own personal ‘baggage' and what belongs to the clie nts. This is
especially difficult when the therapy involves a lot of 'hands on' techniques.
    After leaving Great Oaks it took me a couple of years to rest up enough to want to resume practicing again. This time, instea d of
creating a substantial institu tion, Steve, my second husband and my best friend, built a tiny office next to our family home. I had a
guest room that I would use for occasional residential patients. Usually these were people I had known from Great Oaks days o r
were people I particularl y liked and wanted to help through a life crisis.
    At the time I am writing this book over ten years have passed since I sold Great Oaks. I continue to have an active outpatien t
practice, preferring to protect the privacy of my home and family life sin ce I was remarried by limiting inpatients to a special few
who required more intensive care, and then, only one at a time, and then, with long spells without a resident.

Chapter Two
The Nature and Cause of Disease

From The Hygienic Dictionary
Toxemia.  [1] "Toxemia is the basic cause of all so -called diseases. In the process of tissue -building (metabolism), there is cell -
building (anabolism) and cell destruction (catabolism). The broken -down tissue is toxic. In the healthy body (when nerve energy is
normal), this toxic material is eliminated from the blood as fast as it is evolved. But when nerve energy is dissipated from any
cause (such as physical or mental excitement or bad habits) the body becomes weakened or enervated. When the body is
enervated, el imination is checked. This, in turn, results in a retention of toxins in the blood --the condition which we speak of as
toxemia. This state produces a crisis which is nothing more than heroic or extraordinary efforts by the body to eliminate was te or
toxin from the blood. It is this crisis which we term disease. Such accumulation of toxin when once established, will continue unti l
nerve energy has been restored to normal by removing the cause. So -called disease is nature's effort to eliminate toxin from the
blood. All so -called diseases are crises of toxemia." John H. Tilden, M.D., Toxemia Explained.  [2] Toxins are divided into two
groups; namely exogenous, those formed in the alimentary canal from fermentation and decomposition following imperfect or
faulty digestion. If the fermentation is of vegetables or fruit, the toxins are irritating, stimulating and enervating, but not so
dangerous or destructive to organic life as putrefaction, which is a fermentation set up in nitrogenous matter --protein -bearing
foods, but particularly animal foods. Endogenous toxins are autogenerated. They are the waste products of metabolism. Dr. John.

asks the city council, trying to look like they are doing something about it.
Experts then proffer answers. "Because there are too many cars," says the Get A Horse Society. The auto makers suggest it is
because there are uncoordinated traffic lights and because almost all the businesses send their employees home at the same ti me.
Easy to fix! And no reason whatsoever to limit the number of cars. The asphalt industry suggests it is because the size and


I  couldn't say enough about how I  would never take any other treatment for cancer
than Dr. Kelley's. In fact, I  consult him on all my physical problems, I  wouldn't think
of taking another doctor's advice without asking Dr. Kelley's first. I  tell everyone
about Dr. Kelley!
I  am a most happy and satisfied patient of Dr. Kelley!
Dr. Kelley: "Many people want me to make decisions for them: Should I  have
chemotherapy? Should I  do this? Should I  do that? Should I  do what the doctor tells
me to do, or not to do what he tells me to do? These kinds of questions have given
me many, many hours of frustration and anxiety. First of all, I  am in a legal position
where I  cannot tell the patient not to do what the doctor tells them to do. And I  know
the physician does the very best he knows how. It is just that he is suffering from a
great deal of ignorance. So, legally I  am in a very bad situation.
"Morally, I  am even in a worse position. It becomes quite a dilemma in my mind.
All of us would like to take the easy way out and have somebody make our decisions
for us. But that doesn't give us the education we need and the experiences that are
our responsibility to take on.
"So, the way I  address the problem is this: God has given us a rulebook to follow
for our education. He tells us these are the principles we should follow in our life's
activities; and if we do these things, this w ill happen; and if we do those things, that
w ill happen. And then he lets us have the total freedom and free w ill to do what we
137
Winning The Cancer War
will, and live with the consequences. I  study and try to find the basic principles.
"In a similar sense, Metabolic Medicine is essentially a program based upon what I
have observed in thousands of cases to be sound principles. I  am continually
improving my understanding of these principles and all I  can do is educate the patient
to the best of my ability. I  look at each patient and say, 'These are the things that I've
observed, and these are the principles upon which our program exists.'
"If you have a life threatening situation, such as a tumor mass blocking the colon or
blocking the bladder or blocking the stomach or blocking the air passage, you should,
of course, address it in such a way as to take care of it. Orthodox medicine has done
a very excellent job of addressing life-threatening situations such as trauma, and
infections. Each individual patient has to make the decision in a life-threatening
situation. If you have a 5-lb. tumor in the abdomen and it is dead from your doing a
nutritional program, it's certainly going to be easier to remove this 5-lb. tumor and
throw it away than it would be to sit there and have your immune system and body
chemistry gradually dissolve it, using a lot of energy and stressing the body to dissolve
it into the bloodstream and then cleaning out the bloodstream through the liver and
the other organs of elimination.
"In any situation that is addressed, you have to hold to basic principles and do
some ecological thinking. It would be stupid to say you are going to follow a
nutritional program when a tumor is blocking the intestinal tract and you can't get
any food into your body and you can't get any nutritional support. It would likewise
be stupid to say, 'I am going to take chemotherapy because I  have a snarled tumor in
my colon and I'll take chemotherapy to the point of death and then have a better
chance of survival.' Every situation is addressed individually, with understanding,
knowledge and wisdom."

7-Year Victory Over Breast Cancer.
I  am a farmer's wife, age 53. We live in a modern, ranch-style home in Northeast
Iowa. We raise cattle and have about 500 acres in diversified farming. We have
always been active in church, farm bureau, school, and community affairs. We have
138
Winning The Cancer War
four married children.
I  have worked outdoors doing fieldwork, chores, chickens to tend, and a large
vegetable and fruit garden. My children had lots of sickness from tonsillitis to chronic
bronchitis, and coughing day and night with high fevers. When we learned about
chiropractic, that helped us a lot. When our youngest daughter was 14, she missed
six weeks of school with headaches as a forerunner of arthritis. She was in three
different hospitals, with all the typical medical tests done, showing nothing but
arthritis. They sent us home with the comment that there was nothing they could do
for her arthritis but give her 6 to 20 aspirin a day. From here, I  studied nutrition like
mad and would give her various things for her condition and she improved
dramatically. The next year, she needed a health examination so she could be a
lifeguard and the doctor told us he had never seen anyone so healthy. I  told him it
was all the nutrition I  was giving her and he said that had nothing to do with it, but I
knew it was the answer. We have had numerous medical doctors but none knew
anything about nutrition or w ill admit it has anything to do with health.
I  spent nine years working with the American Cancer Society as door knocker,
county chairman, crusade chairman, at district meetings and state conventions. My
mother died of cancer. I  know what the word "cancer" means — the hopeless feeling,
the despair — and I  am scared to death of it. When I  made my last call on a dear
friend who died of cancer, I  wanted to say to her: "I'll be the next one," for I  had
found a lump in my breast at that time; also, I  was having digestive disturbances. This
was three years after I  started learning about nutrition. I  have read a lot of books,
health magazines, etc. I  knew what medical science was doing. I  was determined I
would not go to be butchered at the hospital. I  said nothing to anyone about the
lump. It got larger as time went on. I  was trying to eat right, as much as I  could read
in the books.
The following March, my husband wanted to get each of us a life insurance policy.
I  said nothing but I  knew I  wouldn't pass a health test. The doctor told my husband
about the lump and I  was refused the insurance policy. He told me to go to the
hospital and have a biopsy, etc. I  wouldn't go. We went to visit my sister and told
her. By this time the lump was plainly visible when you looked at my breast. In a few
days she telephoned she had learned of a chiropractor that could help. He had
helped his daughter. A light in the tunnel. We started going to the chiropractor three
times a week, a 100-mile trip. After a few calls, he told us about Dr. Kelley and
advised both my sister and me to go to him, as she had had surgery and they found
cancer. In June we made our first call to Dr. Kelley. By this time the lump in my
breast was 1-3/4 inches across and there were numerous small ones and even some
in the other breast and more digestive disturbances.
Looking back now, I  can see the Lord leading me to study about nutrition so I
139
Winning The Cancer War
would be prepared to know what I  needed when Dr. Kelley set up our nutritional
plan. I  told our children of the lump in my breast and our plans to go to Texas to see
Dr. Kelley. From the beginning, I  had the assurance that I  was doing the right thing. I
had accepted Christ as my Saviour and I  knew His perfect peace and was assured of
His leading. Our youngest daughter made it plain she thought I  should go to a
medical doctor. My husband was doubtful, but let me do what I  wanted to do.
I  ordered Dr. Kelley's book, One Answer to Cancer and started the beginning of the
treatment. This looked like a large undertaking. Dr. Kelley was a long way off and
would be hard to contact regarding problems from day to day. Still I  never doubted
that this was the way I  should go. I  have doctored my children for 18 years with
medical doctors and medicines and never had any help. This had to be the better
way. I  never told my family doctor about the lump in my breast. The only one who
knew of it was the doctor who had refused me the insurance policy.
When we went to Dr. Kelley for our test, he counseled us as long as we had
questions. We left his office with our programs to follow. My sister and I  studied our
books all the way home, which was a three-day trip. Dr. Kelley had told us in his
book what to expect, how we would feel and what our body reactions would be, so
we would be prepared to know what was


 do with
the search for certainty that was discussed in the chapter on fear of
the unknown. This may be a part of your tendency to dichotomize,
or to divide the world neatly into extremes such as black/white,
yes/no, good/bad and right/wrong. Few things fit neatly into those
categories and most intelligent folks roam around in those gray
areas, rarely coming to rest on either black or white. This proclivity
for being right is most clearly evidenced in marriage and other adult
relationships. Discussions inevitably become a contest which results
in one partner being right, and the other wrong. You hear it all the
time. “You always think you’re right,” and, “You’ll never admit
you’re wrong.” But there is no right and wrong here. People are
different and they see things from different perspectives. If one must
be right, then a breakdown in communication is the only predictable
outcome.
The only way out of this trap is to stop thinking in those erroneous
right vs. wrong ways. As I explained to Clifford, who was in a
marriage in which he argued every day about every conceivable
topic, “Instead of attempting to convince your wife how wrong she
is, why not simply have discussions in which you have no should-
expectations for her. As long as she is allowed to be different from
you, you’ll eliminate the incessant arguing in which you doggedly,
albeit frustratedly, pursue being right.” Clifford was able to set aside
this neurotic need, and also to put some communication and love
back in his marriage. All rights and wrongs of every description
represent shoulds ofBREAKING THE BARRIER OF CONVENTION  / 145one kind or another. And the shoulds get in your way, particularly
when they conflict with another person’s need to have his own as
well.
Indecisiveness As a Spin-Off of Right vs. Wrong Thinking
I once asked a client if he had trouble making a decision, and he
said, “Well—Yes and No.” Perhaps you have difficulty with decision-
making, even with small things. This is a direct outgrowth of the
inclination to divide things into right and wrong categories. The in-
decision comes from wanting to be right, and the postponement of
a choice keeps you from dealing with the anxiety that you choose
for yourself whenever you feel you’ve been wrong. Once you take
away the rightness and wrongness of every decision (because right
implies a guarantee), then decision-making will become a snap. If
you are trying to decide on the right college to attend, you might
stay immobilized forever, even after you’ve made the decision, be-
cause maybe it wasn’t right. Instead, shift the process to, “There is
no such thing as the right college. If I select A then these are the
more likely consequences, while B will probably bring about these.”
Neither is right, one is simply different than the other, and you’ll
have no guarantees regardless of the choice to attend, A, B, or Z.
Similarly you can ease your indecision-neurosis by viewing all po-
tential outcomes as being neither right nor wrong, good nor bad, or
even better or worse. Simply different. If you buy this dress which
you like, this is how you are going to look, which is only different
from (not better than) wearing that dress. Once you give up those
inaccurate and self-destructive rights and wrongs, you’ll find de-
cision-making a simple matter of weighing which consequences
you’d prefer at a given present-moment. And if you begin to choose
regret over the decision,146 / Your Erroneous Zonesrather than deciding that regret is a waste of your time (because it
keeps you living in the past) you’ll simply resolve to make a different
decision in your next present moment, one that will bring con-
sequences that the earlier decision failed to bring. But never attempt-
ing to put it into a right or wrong categorization.
Nothing is more important than anything else. The child collecting
seashells is not doing something more right or wrong than the
President of General Motors making a major corporate decision.
They are different. Nothing more!
You may believe that wrong ideas are bad and should not be
stated, while right ideas are to be encouraged. Perhaps with your
children, friends or spouse, you say, “It’s not worth saying or doing,
if it’s not said or done right.” But danger lurks here. This authorit-
arian stance will lead to totalitarianism when extended to national
and international proportions. Who decides the rightness? That is
the question that can never be answered satisfactorily. The law
doesn’t decide if it’s wrong, only if it’s legal. More than a century
ago, John Stuart Mill, writing in On Liberty,  proclaimed:
We can never be sure that the opinion we are endeavoring to
stifle is false opinion, and if we were sure, stifling it would be
an evil still.
Your effectiveness is not measured by your ability to make a right
choice. How you handle yourself emotionally after any choice is a
far greater barometer of your personal present-moment togetherness,
since a right choice represents those shoulds that you are working
at eliminating. New thinking will be helpful on two counts—one,
you’ll banish those senseless shoulds and become more internal,
and two, you’ll find decision-making less troublesome without those
erroneous right and wrong categories.BREAKING THE BARRIER OF CONVENTION  / 147The Folly of Shoulds, Musts and Oughts
There is a neat little word, coined by Albert Ellis, for the tendency
to incorporate shoulds into your life. It is “musterbation.” You are
“musterbating” whenever you find yourself behaving in ways that
you feel you must, even though you might prefer some other form
of behavior. Karen Horney, the brilliant psychiatrist, has devoted
an entire chapter of Neurosis and Human Growth  to this topic, and
she titles it, “The Tyranny of the Should.” She comments:
The shoulds always produce a feeling of strain, which is all the
greater the more a person tries to actualize his shoulds in his
behavior…. Furthermore, because of externalizations, the
shoulds always contribute to disturbance in human relations  in
one way or another.*
Do shoulds determine much of your life? Do you feel you should
be kind to your colleagues, supportive of your spouse, helpful to
your children and always work hard? And if at any time you fail in
one of these shoulds do you berate yourself and hence take on that
strain and disturbance to which Karen Horney alludes above? But
perhaps these are not your shoulds. If, in fact, they belong to others
and you have merely borrowed them, then you are musterbating.
There are just as many should-nots as there are shoulds. These
include: you should not be rude, angry, foolish, silly, juvenile, lewd,
gloomy, offensive and scores of others. But you don’t have to mus-
terbate. Ever. It’s all right to be lacking in composure, or to not un-
derstand. You’re allowed to be undignified if you choose to. No one
is keeping score on you, or going to punish you for not being
something that someone else said you must be. Besides, you can
never be anything that you
*Karen Horney, Neurosis and Human Growth  (New York: W. W. Norton & Co.,
1950), p. 81.148 / Your Erroneous Zonesdon’t want to be all of the time. It’s just not possible. Therefore, any
should will have to produce strain in you, since you won’t be able
to fulfill your erroneous expectation. The strain does not result from
your undignified, nonsupportive, indiscreet or whatever behavior,
but from the imposition of the should.
Etiquette as a Should
Etiquette is a beautiful example of useless and unhealthy encultur-
ation. Think of all the little meaningless rules you’ve been encour-
aged to adopt simply because an Emily Post, Amy Vanderbilt, or
Abigail van Buren has so written. Eat your corn on the cob this way,
always wait for the hostess to start before eating, introduce the man
to the woman, sit on that side of the church at a wedding, tip this,
wear that, use these words. Don’t consult yourself; look it up in the
book. While good manners are certainly appropriate—they simply
entail consideration for other people—about ninety percent of all
the etiquette guidelines are meaningless rules that were composed
arbitrarily at one time. There is no proper way for you; there is only
what you decide is right for you—as long as you don’t make it hard
for others to get along. You can choose how you’ll introduce people,
what you’ll tip, what you’ll wear, how you’ll speak, where you’ll
sit, how you’ll eat, and so on, strictly on the basis of what you want.
Anytime you fall into the trap of “What should  I wear,” or “How
should  I do it,” you’re giving up a chunk of yourself. I’m not making
a case here for being a social rebel since that would be a form of
approval-seeking through nonconformity, but rather this is a plea
for being self-rather than other-directed in the everyday running of
your life. Being true to yourself

troubles which s;;.tlsfied me.
The Tantras indicate that there was a practice among Aghoris to
use L•rine and stools as medicines. In Jain scriptures also a monk has
.been advised to take his auto-urine while practising short or long
Pratima (Dhyana). In Rudrayamal Tantra under the chapter
'Shivambu-kalpa', lord Shiva hap described to Parvati the virtues of
urine removes all diseases and· bestows upon man a long life:
Further ·Ayurveda and Rasa-tan~ra also have prescribed urine along
with subsidiary medicines. The sage Atreya has prescribed eight
types of urine to be used as m'edicines. They belong to herbivorous
animals only. In addition Sushrut has prescribed human urine also
as medicine. One can ask why sage Atreya did not describe the
utility of human urine in spite of the fact that it is more useful to
man. One can see that the' urine of animals is useful to themselves.
. The sage Atreya has also stated that the eight types of urine are
useful to human beings as well. Why did he not refer to human
urine? The simple answer seems to be that he did not feel ~my
necessity to describe a very well-known and an apparent fact. The
benefit of the existance of the sun does not require any
introduction. It is sufficient to say that human urine is anti-poison
and a.t<mif;:;1il)e ~,\(agbhatta mentions the urine of deer also in THE BEST MEANS TO PHYSICAl HEALTH : 195

only herbivorous animals should be used for treatment. It is

med1cme ~r m _surger: is called, autogeneous. Accordingly
auto-blood IS adm1tted mto the body without any harm. Similar
substance when taken from a living being of the same or similar
class is called homogeneous.
On the' other hand if something of m~dicinal value is derived
from a body of an animal of dissiniNar class it is called
h~terogeneous. The sage Atreya has includecf in his system · the
e1~ht t~pes _of urine according to the third category. While lord
Sh1va m h1s description of human.urJne has adopted the-first
category. Declaring it to be completely harmless, he has adviSed its

pr.escribes urine fer both -the healthy and the diseased. There is a
w1de difference·in the mehtod of application also. ·
T~e fore~oni~g. des~ription suggests that Shukracharya passessed

senses. That IS why I have begun its use in my surgical cases and 1

IS worth applymg at least for experimentation.

URINE THERAPY & AYURVEOA
By Vaidya Karunashankar R. Trivedi
just as the Aryan culture and religion are not the contribution of
one individual person, similarly Ayurveda is also not a creation of
one man. just as Aryan culture is the synthesis of many glorious
traditions, similarly Ayurveda also represents a mighty spring of all
the. healing sciences. A certain system of healing may appear
ent1r~l~ new but it is likely to have ·its roots in Ayurveda. The
phys1c1ans may regard urine therapy to be a new one but its roots
are. t~ be fo~nd in Ayurveda. With all humility and strong
conv1ct1on I w1sh to state that urine therapy instead of being
un-Ay~rvedic is fully supported by Ayurveda.
Whenever some baby in a family suffers from any trouble, the
grandmother at large still advises the young daughter-in-law to give
the baby its own urine to drink. Ordinarily everybody born in a
village must have had a taste of his own urine on one occasion or
the other. In villages the practice of giving children their own urine
to drink is age-old. It is a matter of cor rnon experience that urine
thus taken does not cause any harm but on the contrary. proves URINE THERAPY & AYURVEDA : 197
beneficial for the child's health.
Ear-trouble : From my personal experience I know that any
ear-trouble disappears with the drops of fresh or litt)e warmed-up
urine. I still remember an incident of my childhood,· when I was a
student of class eighth. Once I was sleeping on a marble floor of a
temple along with my brother and a friend, during night, a centipede
entered into my ear. I, a mere boy, was upsest with the trouble. The
gatekeeper of the temple told me -"Nothing can be done during the
night. Put your urine into the ear and wait for the result till
morning." My brother dropped my urine into my ear. In the morninig
I was frightened to see the centipede torn into pieces, sticking near
the ear-lobe.
Human Urine : It is mentioned in Bhavprakash (Part I, Chapter on
"Urine") that human urine is alkaline, saltish and sharp. It is
antipoisonous and removes eczema. Taken internally, it acts as
tonic. If a thoughtful person is not carried away by the attractive
labels and advertisements of medicines, pouring in every day with
enchanting names, he will realize that human urine which is
described by Ayurveda as atonic banishing old age and. restoring
youth, should not be neglected. Similarly it maintains an equilibrium·
of all the seven substances of the body and keeps the power of
digestion in good order. It is said to posses the quality of removing
the effect of poison.
In Ayurveda cow's urine is already used for purification of metals
and to destroy their poisonous effects. The word 'Anti-poison' has
wide and far-reaching sense. It means the destruction of poison not
only that of snake-bite, scorpion-bite or metals but that of the
organism, i.e. toxin also. In this age of unhealthy living, the
propagation of such anti-poisonous substance is a noble and holy
mission. I make this statement without any reservation and in all
humility and wish to associate myself with this noble undertaking...,.

Most  people are now familiar with the orthodox methods  of dealing
with venereal disease. Sufferers are i nvited  to attend  clinics  where
they  are treated with injections.  The treatment  may last over a period
of either weeks or months. But although members  of the poorer classes
may  attend  these clinics, notabilities;  particularly  in the smaller  towns,
prefer to be treated by their own doctors, as they feel a certain
embarrassment  'at showing themselves  in a place where  they may  be
recognised.  In any event, the grave question  one asks  oneself i s: What
will be the after‐effects of there  injections?  It i s one thing to treat tLe
disease, but that is not the same as permanently  curing the patient.
Wrote  Dr. W. H. White,  M.D., of Orthodoxy:  " Medicine  ignores the i
ndividual `wholeness  and  treats the disease as a separate entity." Thus
there  are remedies  tabulated  for practically  any ailment from
rheumatism  to syphilis: but as the homoeopath  points out, what the
allopath calls  rheumatism  may  come from twenty different  causes
(were he to say from twenty different secondary  causes, this  would
more  approximate  to the truth) hence the name of the disease is of
really no importance.  Regarded  from  my particular ‐ point of view,  I
would even add  "nor how it has been contracted"  for the method of
cure,  as I have shown, is the same.  75
 To revert to the case of venereal disease I have cited.  If the young main
in question  had employed  urine‐therapy  from the first  instead of trying
to treat it with what are termed nature‐ cure methods,  I am convinced
that it would have been cured  far sooner.  From what I have been able
to gather frcm others who have tried  urine‐therapy  on their own, I have
good reason to believe that where venereal disease has been taken in
its initial stage,  or di'ring the Prst week, cures have been effected
anywhere  from between 48 to 96 hours; that is provided it has not
been complicated  by the usual treatment.  But of course as it is illegal
for me to treat this  age‐old affliction I am i n no position to furnish
case‐ histories. Still, to exclude from  these pages mention of such
diseases as the Medical Profession  reserve the right to treat by their
own methods  would be to leave my task only half fulfilled. Considering
that "a proportion  of all the blind, the deaf,  the mentally deficient  and
the crippled owe their disabilities  to venereal diseases"  (see Britain's
Health) it becomes the duty of any one, be he doctor  or layman, who
has found a means of curing it, to make his discovery  known so that
doctors can make use of it if they  wish. What we have to remember  is
that measures  employed  for treating venereal diseases, as most  others
also, have their day, are found perhaps to be unsatisfactory,  and  then
are superceded  by other  methods.  Although it is doubtful whether the
clinics  will be prepared to try urine‐therapy,  there  may  be some private
doctors who may be willing to give it a trial. Time alone can show.  I may
add, by the way, that although  doctors  do not realise the full value of
urine, there  are those who have pointed  out that if only men would
micturate  immediately  after coitus, the risk of contracting  venereal
disease would be minimised.  The late Mr. Baxter,  J.P., was right when 76
 he published  the fact that among other  things  urine possessed  strong
antiseptic  properties.

off and  the toes forced back into the fleshy part of the foot.  Naturally
the shock and pain were very severe. All the same I rejected the help of
a medical friend, as I was resolved once  again  to prove  the effects of
urine‐treatment  on wounds.
After having the damaged  portions of my foot put into place by some
Physical Culture practitioners  who had  witnessed  the accident, I fasted
four days for the  shock (an approved  method) and  applied  cloths
saturated  in old urine to the affected parts. These bandages  were kept
moist  by repeated soakings; but were not unwound  until the fifth day.
When finally removed,  the results were astonishing;  all trace of the
injury had disappeared,  and the foot was healthy and supple as it had
been in early  youth. Incidentally  a corn  which  had troubled  me was
dissolved  by the treatment.
I have frequently  observed  similar effects even un wounds which  had
refused to heal, whether under  the  treatment  of common  medical,
herbal or other  remedi°s,  and  even where  amputation  had been
seriously discussed  as the only remaining  course to pursue.
