ying	that	a	perfect	arc	of	a	rainbow	was	hanging	over	us.	I	felt	the
grass	all	around	me.	“The	ground’s	dry.	What’s	happening?”
“I	can	give	you	two	explanations,”	Baba	said	quickly.	He	wanted	to	head	off
any	idea	that	he	had	performed	some	kind	of	magic	trick.	“Sometimes
rainbows	can	appear	in	a	clear	blue	sky	because	moisture	is	trapped	in	the	air.
The	moisture	forms	tiny	droplets	that	bend	the	light	just	right.	It’s	rare,	but	it
happens.”
“What’s	the	second	explanation?”	I	asked,	thinking	that	the	first	was	good
enough.
“A	rainbow	appeared	because	we	were	looking	for	one.”
I	said,	“That	explanation	is	a	lot	harder	to	believe.”
Baba	shrugged.	“Then	why	not	pick	both?”
“Because	only	one	can	be	right,”	I	said.
“If	you	learn	to	see	beyond	the	surface,	both	can	be	right.	Moisture	had	to
form	that	rainbow.	But	my	soul	also	knew	that	I	was	looking	for	one.”	Baba
sounded	too	certain	for	me	to	argue	with,	and	I	was	beginning	to	believe	him,
as	I	did	on	so	many	occasions	when	he	said	something	impossible.
He	went	on.	“I	told	you	that	God	doesn’t	seem	to	be	around,	but	he	is	doing
what	we	want	anyway.	Spirit’s	assignment	is	to	turn	our	thoughts	into	reality
And	God	never	leaves	anyone	out.	Looking	at	a	rainbow,	some	will	see	waterdroplets	bending	light,	others	will	see	a	moment	of	delight	provided	by
spirit.”
We	lay	back	now	and	watched	the	rainbow,	which	was	getting	brighter	by	the
moment.	Somehow	seeing	it	without	clouds	was	eerie	but	just	as	glorious.
“Why	does	a	rainbow	make	me	feel	so	good?”	I	asked.
“Because	life	is	meant	to	be	sweet,	and	when	you	see	something	as	sweet	as	a
rainbow,	it	makes	you	remember	that.”	Baba	said	nothing	more	as	the
rainbow	faded,	leaving	behind	no	trace	that	it	had	ever	existed.

That	rainbow	has	followed	me	a	long	time.	When	I	grew	up	I	got	almost	all
my	college	training	in	science,	so	my	mind
	learned	the	kinds	of	explanations
that	leave	out	the	soul.	But	Baba	taught	me	that	moments	of	delight,	the	times
when	life	is	truly	sweet,	come	from	spirit.	I	had	to	teach	myself	to	look	under
the	surface	and	find	the	hidden	taste	of	sweetness.	If	a	rainbow	can	be	hiding
in	a	clear	blue	sky,	then	who	knows	what	else	is	hiding	inside	an	ordinary
day?
People	ask,	“How	do	you	define	God?”	Baba	had	the	simplest	answer	I’ve
ever	heard:	He’s	the	surprise	you	never	expected.	He’s	the	rainbow	in	a	clear
blue	sky.	That’s	a	colorful	way	of	saying	that	God	is	the	spirit	that	amazes	us
in	ordinary	things.	God	is	not	as	distant	as	people	seem	to	think.	To	find	him,
you	only	have	to	get	closer	a	day	at	a	time.	Going	about	your	old	routine
won’t	do	it,	though.	You	must	step	out	of	the	ordinary.	Otherwise,	where’s	the
surprise?
Better	than	any	rainbow	is	to	surprise	yourself.	Beneath	the	surface	every	day
presents	at	least	one	chance	for	a	spiritual	surprise.	You	are	very	different
beneath	the	surface	than	anyone	ever	thought.	I	came	up	with	an	A-to-Z	list	to

PPRECIATION
Today,	decide	to	appreciate	somebody.	Appreciation	shouldn’t	be	silent.	It’s
the	best	way	to	show	that	you	don’t	take	anyone	for	granted.	I	can	remember
words	people	told	me	years	and	years	ago	that	changed	how	I	saw	myself.
“You	are	a	good	person”	is	an	incredibly	powerful	statement	from	the	right
person,	someone	you	really	respect.	“You’re	so	thoughtful”	or	“I	like	the	way
you	say	things”	or	“I’m	glad	I	can	count	on	you”	are	all	words	of	appreciation
that	someone	you	know	wants	to	hear.	When	people	sell	a	house	and	get	more
than	they	expected	for	it,	they	say	it	appreciated	in	value.	The	same	is	true	for
human	beings.	If	you	appreciate	them,	they	will	increase	in	value	before	your
very	eyes.B

Today,	decide	that	you	will	look	beyond	your	own	point	of	view.	Say	to
someone,	“Tell	me	more	about	how	you	see	things.”	It’s	easy	to	find	a	time	to
do	that—just	wait	until	you	think	you	have	the	most	important	thing	to	say,
then	stop	and	let	someone	else	speak	instead.	The	soul	takes	in	all	points	of
view,	and	the	more	you	imitate	that	habit,	the	more	spiritual	your	life	will
become.	Baba	had	a	good	way	of	explaining	this.
“Do	you	know	the	story	of	the	blind	men	and	the	elephant?”	he	asked.
I	did.	In	India	every	child	is	told	the	fable	about	how	six	wise	men	tried	to
describe	an	elephant,	but	each	was	blind.	The	first	blind	man	felt	the
elephant’s	side	and	said,	“I	know	what	an	elephant	is,	it’s	very	much	like	a
wall.”	The	second	blind	man	felt	the	elephant’s	tusk	and	said,	“No,	an
elephant	is	very	much	like	a	spear.”	The	third	blind	man	took	hold	of	the
trunk,	so	to	him	an	elephant	was	much	like	a	snake.	And	so	it	went.	The	tail
felt	like	a	rope,	the	ear	like	a	fan,	the	leg	like	a	tree.	None	of	them	got	it
completely	right,	so	there’s	a	moral:	If	you	know	only	a	little	bit	about
something,	you	don’t	really	know	it	at	all.
“That	still	leaves	a	riddle,	though,”	said	Baba.	“Why	do	you	suppose	they
picked	the	number	six?	Why	not	seven	blind	men	or	three?	Six	stands	for	the
five	senses	and	the	mind.	We	use	these	six	things	to	figure	out	what	the
universe	is	like.	For	the	universe	is	the	elephant,	and	the	real	moral	of	the	tale
is	that	you	cannot	trust	your	senses	to	tell	you	what	is	real,	no	matter	how
hard	you	think	about	it.	It	takes	something	else—the	eye	of	the	soul—to	truly
see	the	elephant.”C

 patients who suffered partial or total
hemiplegia following surgical repair of intracranial aneurysms. The rationale for
using DMSO to manage postoperative hemiplegia secondary to aneurysmal bleeding was prompted by the ability of this drug to improve the neurological status of rhesus monkeys subjected to traumatic brain injury, high missile injury, and experimental stroke.
75–78
These reports indicated that DMSO treatment of rhesus monkeys subjected to
various CNS insults was able to increase CPP, CBF, and metabolic rate of oxygen while reducing cerebral edema, elevated ICP, and significant mortality in all treated animals when compared to standard treatments.
75–78
A summary of how patients typically responded to DMSO treatment after sub -
arachnoid hemorrhage secondary to aneurysm rupture113 provides insight into how,
and when, the proper use of DMSO can help achieve a successful outcome.
Case 1 : A 61-year-old man suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage and underwent
clipping of two aneurysms located on the right middle cerebral artery (MCA) and
right internal carotid artery without incident. After surgery, the blood pressure
climbed spontaneously and mannitol was given every 4 h. Despite this regimen, left-sided paralysis developed and continued without improvement. A diagno -
sis of severe arterial spasm was made, and a decision to use DMSO was made

FIGURE 9.5  (See color insert.) Rupture of intracranial aneurysm, depending on
type, size, and location, can cause subarachnoid hemorrhage leading to serious and life-
threatening complications including hemiplegia, aphasia, regional vasospasm, and brain swelling. Treatment with IV DMSO of ruptured aneurysms in people is reported to reverse progressive hemiplegia, vasospasm and resulting low CBF, and improve hemispheric motor deficits. (From Mullan, S. et al., Dimethyl sulfoxide in the management of postoperative hemiplegia, in: Wikins, R.H., ed., Arterial Spasm, William & Wilkins, Baltimore, MD,
1980, pp. 646–653.)223 DMSO in Clinical Neuroprotection
in order to avoid permanent paralysis. DMSO at 1 g/kg bolus was given every
8 h on day 1. The affected right hemispheric blood flow increased 20% and the contralateral left hemisphere by 11% some 30 min after the initial DMSO infu -
sion. After 24 h of DMSO, the clinical condition was satisfactory and DMSO was continued and stopped after 5 days when the patient’s condition was much improved.
113
On day 6, the patient developed low-grade fever, progressive weakness on the left
side, and confusion. DMSO was restarted at 3 g/24 h and reduced to 1 g/24 h for the next 3 days when left side strength and alertness returned. On day 9, DMSO was reduced to 0.5 g/kg/8 h and stopped on day 12. The patient recovered progressively and was discharged on day 18.
113
Case 2 : A 67-year-old woman was diagnosed with a left MCA aneurysm and
elected to have it clipped. After surgery, she was alert and had full strength in all four limbs. Shortly thereafter, she became aphasic and had right-sided hemiple -
gia. Mannitol was given for the next 8 h, but no improvement was seen. CBF was 49 mL/100 g/min on both hemispheres. DMSO was begun at a rate of 0.5 g/kg and increased to 1 g/kg/8 h. After 45 min, she was alert and strength returned to the right side. Two hours after the initial DMSO dose, her CBF was 60 on the right and 66 on the left, a 37% increased blood flow in the affected hemisphere. DMSO was continued for another 3  days at a dose of 1 g/kg daily. Her motor strength returned to normal levels within 12 h, and CBF remained at 60 mL/100 g/min until discharge.
113
In the same series of cases reported by Mullan et al.,113 two patients treated were
relatively young adults.
Case 3 : A 25-year-old woman was hospitalized with severe headache and
high systolic pressure. Neuroimaging showed a left MCA aneurysm with spasm in the internal carotid artery. After clipping the aneurysm without incident and postsurgical recovery, the patient developed significant right-sided weakness, right-leg paralysis, and dysphasia 12 days postoperative. Mannitol was given, but after 8 h, all signs worsened. DMSO 1 g/kg was given over the first hour. Ninety minutes following DMSO, the patient could lift her right leg off the bed and by the following day her dysphasia had cleared. DMSO was continued and reduced to 2 g/kg/day until discharge 3 days later when she was symptom free.
113
Case 4 : A 28-year-old woman was admitted with excruciating headache and
weakness on the right side. After 5  days, she developed hemiparesis and apha -
sia. A CT scan showed blood in her sylvian fissure and after craniotomy an MCA
 aneurysm was discovered and clipped without incident. Steroids and mannitol were
given for severe internal carotid artery spasm, but no improvement resulted. DMSO was given 1 g/kg/4 h and reduced to 1 g/kg/24 h for the next 3 days. A total recovery was seen at discharge.
113
The remaining five cases of aneurysmal hemorrhage were treated with DMSO
using a similar regimen as the previous patients, and all except one patient had excel -
lent recoveries. The patient who died had a history of hypertension, cardiac defi -
cits, seizures, and heavy smoking and presented with giant aneurysm at the internal carotid artery bifurcation, which penetrated into the hypothalamus and right hemi -
sphere. Despite initial success with DMSO in raising CBF 27% on the affected 224 Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease
hemisphere, the patient developed high systolic blood pressure and seizures, which
did not respond to treatment, and the patient expired after 25 days.113
The authors of this study concluded that little can be said for certain after this
nine-patient minitrial, but the speed of action shown by DMSO administration to reverse specific motor deficits suggested that this drug was strikingly effective in preventing almost certain progressive hemiplegia and restoring hemispheric func -
tion at the early stages of treatment.
113 The authors also pointed out that DMSO
appeared safe at the doses used and the most likely reason for its beneficial effect may be have been its ability to increase CBF.
113
The minitrial using DMSO to treat intracerebral hemorrhage and ensuing arterial
spasm by Mullan et al.113 indicates that a DMSO bolus or very fast drip at doses of
1 g/kg/8 h in a recommended 28% solution appears as a safe and effective regimen. As deficits resolve, the DMSO doses can be reduced as reflected by the patient’s status. Also, hematuria from red cell osmotic hemolysis was seen in all patients only after the initial loading dose of DMSO. Hematuria was seen to stabilize after subse -
quent doses of DMSO.
113 The loading DMSO dose has no other consequences other
than lowering the hematocrit about 25%, a temporary reaction that paradoxically lowers blood viscosity and vascular resistance while increasing CBF.
DMSO COMPARED TO PROGESTERONE
FOR TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY
At the time of this writing, one of the most promising therapies proposed to com -
bat traumatic brain injury is the sex hormone progesterone. In 1996, Stein’s group114
reported that subcutaneous injection of progesterone (4 mg/kg) given 1 h after bilateral
frontal lobe contusion in male and pre-estrus female rats resulted in significantly less brain edema in the female rats when compared to male rats 24 h after brain contusion. The conclusion from this study suggested that higher progesterone levels in pre-estrus females were protective after induced brain trauma.
115 Other evidence in rodents indi -
cated that progesterone was beneficial in additional forms of neurotrauma, such as pen -
etrating brain injury,116 improved cognitive performance,117 and spinal cord injury.118
Reports of improved neurological outcomes and decreased cortical infarcts after
induction of stroke in rats indicated a beneficial effect after progesterone whether it was administered preinjury or postinjury.
119,120 Curiously, one study reported using
progesterone dissolved in 10% DMSO for middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rats and showed significant improvement in reducing infarct volume when
 progesterone–DMSO combination was compared to progesterone–saline solution.121
The same authors122 used 10% DMSO as a

Water Goes On Forever
Water is absolutely indestr uctible, but unfortunately
easily polluted! Scientists believe that there is not a drop
more – nor a drop less – than when shallow water first
formed the roundness of the earth with its tidal currents.
Volcanic eruptions eventually brought solid rock and
earth above the water in the form of mountains. Over
time, these new eruptions became the continents. These tides, conversely, slow the rotation of the earth
by a fraction of a second ever y thousand years. The 24
hour day was probably a 4 hour day millions of years
ago. Originally the earth probably consisted of hot gases.
As it cooled, hydrogen and oxygen atoms fused to form
a steamy mist. Much later, the steamy mist fell in endless
torrential rains, the coolness of which eventually
solidified the floor of the earth.

Hot Mineral W ater Under California Desert
Just a few hundred feet below our desert home in
California, there is a raging river of hot mineral water.
Wells are sunk down to reach this water, which comes
out at a temperature as high as 180 degrees. This water
has been underground for centuries. The water is cooled
to a temperature that human beings can tolerate and
provides blessed relief to thousands who have aches and
pains throughout their bodies. This warm mineral water
is ver y relaxing and therapeutic. People come fr om all
over the world to bathe in its natural, healing warmth!
We both have painless bodies, yet still take the time
to enjoy these hot mineral baths because they are
soothing and relaxing to the body and are good
preventive medicine. This is why we built a home in
this spa town – we go to our desert retreat when we
want to swim, hike, relax, maybe fast, and write. 5 gallons of water over the falls every second. Some
scientists say in approximately 20,000 years, this waterfall
will retreat to Lake Erie and become a level river.

The oceans hold 97% of all the water on earth. They
create the enormous tides, waves and winds which crash
and slam against the rocky beaches and reduce them to
sand. Where volcanic eruptions have flowed to the sea,
this volcanic material is reduced to sand over time. That
is why the Isles of Hawaii and T ahiti have some beaches
of black sand. The sea will always win this battle with
the earth! Some Geologists tell us that eventually the
mountains will be leveled and swept into the ocean and
the cycle of volcanic eruptions will begin again.
Eons ago, continent-spanning glaciers were so
numerous that the level of the seas fell 300 feet and land
bridges appeared between England and France. An

a l matter-antimatter explosion when the core reacts with the shell. This may happen when for
some reason the super-ﬁeld of the star departs prematurely. Commonly, however, the super-ﬁeld de-manifests very slowly during the
aging process of a stellar body. This leads to a controlled heat-producing reaction between core and shell, so that in the end only a
thin shell may remain with a more or less hollow interior.
Geometric Astronomical Patterns are increasingly being discovered, such as a red square in the Milky Way that has been described
as an hour-glass shaped cloud of gas and dust called a bipolar nebula, and the cross shape in the image as two cone shapes placed
tip to tip. This may be interpreted as the outlines of a stellar twin-puls on. A similar conﬁguration can be seen in a red rectangle
nebula, and a hexagon appeared on Saturn’ s north pole. Similar geometric shapes are being formed when rotating ﬂuids are being
vibrated. This suggests that also geometric astronomical shapes may be due to this effect as the ﬁeld within astronomical vortices is
being rotated and vibrated.
Normally the twin-pulsons of our planet manifest and de-manifest by changing polarities, and this leads to periodic reversals of the
magnetic poles while maintaining the same spin direction. However both vortices may also completely de-manifest, and re-manifest
with opposite spin direction. This would lead within a very short period to a reversal of the spin of the planet itself.
Recent ﬁndings show enhanced extinction of existing species and appearance of new species every 62 to 65 million years. The last
time this happened about 65 million  years ago. The reason for this may be a major pulsation cycle of our solar system every 62-65
million years The de-manifestation phase would lead to the extinction of many species, and the new manifestation phase would
promote the appearance of new species.
In a recent surprise discovery it was found that any chemicals dissolved in water draw closer together and form clusters when the
solution is further diluted. The expla nation is that water, as a polar medium, is able to bind pulson ﬁelds of a lower space-density. In
pure water these ﬁelds form short-liv ed clusters or domains of water molecules. In a concentrated solution the polarity forces of these
ﬁelds are fully compensated and, therefore, have little impact on the movement of molecules or ions. However, in strongly diluted
solutions these ﬁelds have free polarities, which attract dissolved particles.
A similar mechanism is also the basis for the'memory of water' as shown by Benveniste in 1988 (Nature). Benveniste found that a
solution that once contained antibodies or histamine still activated white blood cells. He claimed that this was due to ghostly imprints
in the water structure where the antibodies had been. These imprints may be understood as pulson ﬁelds of speciﬁc structure and
space-density. More recently these experiments have been conﬁrmed by Madeleine Ennis (Inﬂammation Research, vol 53, p 181),
who admits that she is unable to explain the results.
The same principle is the basis of homeopathy. Here the less dense ﬁelds of natural substances are separated from their material
counterparts. The more diluted the solution becomes, the stronger are the polarity forces in these liberated ﬁelds and the stronger is
their potential healing effect. It may be noted that such effects seem to exist only with natural substances and not with synthesized
analogs.
The subjective time of a body depends mainly on the oscillating frequency of its twin-pulson, which in turn is inﬂuenced by energy
changes in the micro-pulsons that form its body. Objective time is determined by the oscillation frequencies of the super-pulsons of
the system, and by the spins of their manifested bodies, which for us are those of our galaxy, sun and planet.
We may speculate that during the phase of manifestation and pre-materialization time (or subjective time) has the opposite direction
than during materialization and demanifestation.
This may cause distortions of time in a manifesting etheric vortex with strong uncompensated polarities. Our normal time goes
forward, while in a manifesting vortex it goes backwards. Therefore, depending on the strength of the vortex this may slow down our
time or stop time altogether.

phony at one time. W e can on ly hear it amoment at a tim e—we hear one note, then we hear another note, and then
we h ear another. That whole in dividual, step-by-step process, the flowing
with it, the goin g with just one note, with whatever is happening, is what
constitutes the experience called “symphony” and the appreciation of
music. W e don’ t sit back and say, “No, this note doesn’ t count. None of that
counts. I want to hear the whole thing at once.” W e take each moment that
comes and experience it, and we experience the next one, and so on.
It’ s silly  to think of being able t o appreciate music without being able to
hear each individual note as it comes along. That’ s also how  life is. It’ s
absurd t o becom e attached to the notion that we have to consu me it all or
have so many things.
Here’ s a  great exercise in not be ing attached: Go through your h ouse and
the closets, gather up all the toys that your children don’ t use an ymore, and
give them away. Have the kids participate in this as well. Next, gather all
the clothes that y ou haven’ t worn in the last 18 months. If you haven’ t worn
it for a year and a half, it’ s no longer yours. W e’ve already established that
you can’ t own a nything anyway—you come in naked and yo u leave that
way. So send these clothes on to somebody else. Then go out to your
garage, and collect everything t hat you’ve been so busy holdin g on to but
not usin g. Give it away too. There’ s somebody else out there w ho can use
all that stuf f. Get it recirculating. Keep it flowing. Keep it moving.
Know th at every thing you feel y ou have to have owns you, which means
you don ’ t own yourself. T o that end, many people can’ t leave w here they’re
living right now because they don’ t know what to do with all the stuf f
they’re h anging on to. They say, “I have too much here. I can’ t l eave!” This
causes them to m iss opportunities because they can’ t hear the m essages the
universe is sending them.
When yo u’re no t attached to thin gs, they can’ t own you any longer. Then
you’ll find that y ou’re less attached to ideas that no longer work in your life
either. In the process, you’ll open yourself up to so ma ny positive
experiences. What you once viewed as just happenstance or a coincidence
shows up in your life in numerous ways now that you’re really experiencing
the a wakened life. Again, the less attached you are, the more t he universe
will send your w ay. If you give away more of whatever you’re g etting, it all
keeps moving and flowing, and your life improves beyond measure.STRIVING VS. ARRIVING
Acceptance and  being happy wi th where you are in life is not something
W estern society tends to teach. In fact, it can seem like you’re programmed
to g o after some thing else from day one. It’ s like you’re trained to think,
When I get out of this playpen, I’ll have the whole r oom. Oh, get me out of
her e.  The n yo u get out of the playpen  and into the room, and you thi nk, I’d
like to go into the next r oom, but they’ve got one of those barriers acr oss
the hall. I’ve got to get past that gate that they put ther e. Then maybe I can
get into the cupb oar ds and have fun with the pots and pans. That’ll be when
I arrive.  Then it’ s like, Maybe I can go  out into the yar d, so  the yard
becomes the goal. Then you ge t out of the yard, and the goal is the block.
Then there’ s a street to cross. There is always a “next.”
Y ou fina lly get into school, and  all you can think about is getting out.
What I remember about elementary school is lines. I hated lines and seeking
permission. For five years, you’ ve peed whenever you felt like  it but now,
all o f a sudden, you have to ask  permission. It’ s like, Let m e out of her e. I
don’ t want to ask permission to pee anymor e.  Then you’re going to
geography class, and you have to stand in line. Why in the world do they do
this? Th e lines don’ t move; you just stand there waiting. I guess if it moved,
it wouldn’ t be a line—it would be a parade, wouldn’ t it?
Anyway, all you can think about is junior high—you know that w hen you
get there, you’ll get out of lines. But then you find out that this is not the
place to be either. Y ou realize, They do n’ t tr eat us like adults at  all. W e have
to ta ke whatever courses they  give us, and we’r e always told to stop
touching each other. Or, “Sit up.” Or, “Quiet. No talking.”
Then your goal shifts again. It’ s like, When I get to high school, that will
be  it. Life will  be complete.  Y ou get to high school, but then you realize
you’re a  lowly little freshman. Even the word sounds yucky, so you bypass
it. Y ou think, All righ t, I’ll put up with this because next year I’ll be a
senior under classman.  ( Y ou call you rself this as a euphemism for a
sophomore.) Y ou’re telling yourself, I want to get in the 10th grade because
then I can learn  to drive.  N othing in the world counts now except getting a
driver ’ s license.  Life is about nothing else when you’re 14 and 15, just
striving toward getting a driver ’ s license. That’ s all there is... until you
start thinking about dating. W ow. W hen I can date, boy, tha t’ s when my life
will be complete.Then it’ s  like, When I get out of high school, it ’ll be so gr eat that I won’ t
have to be told what to do.  F inally, you work hard and g et out of high
school, but there’ s no marchin g band. There’ s a ceremony an d maybe a
little pa rty—but then you’ve got to face life. Y ou say to you rself, W ell,
maybe m y life will start when I  go to college. Sur ely that will be it.  Then
you go through college, thinking, No. This is not it at all. It’ s mor e of the
same—just studying. Sur e, I get to pick the classes I want, but it’ s the same
old stuff.
Y ou get out of c ollege. They tell me when you get married, that’ s when
your life  r eally begins. That’ s when it’ s gr eat, so I’ll get married.  Then you
find out  that the partner you pic ked out makes funny noises th at he or she
never made before. It’ s just too  much. Y ou think, All r ight. Marriage may
not b e it, but they tell me when you have a child, that makes yo u complete
with the universe. I guess I’m not r eally a person yet—I’m  sort of an
appr entice person. But when I have that child, that’ s when I’ll be complete.
Then maybe you think, They tell me tha t life gets going when you finally
get that divor ce. They say that divor ce is the thing that r eally makes your
life. My spouse drags me down all the time, so as soon as I get marriage out
of my life, that’l l do it.  Or maybe you focus on geography: How did I get
her e any way? M y gr eat-gr eat-g randpar ents landed in this town, and I’m
still her e. What the hell am I doing her e? That’ s it. I’ll go to Hawaii. By the
time I get to Hawaii, then I’ll be complete.
It’ s kind of endless: Maybe w hen I get a new job, that’ll be it.  Or, They
tell me when you get the pr omotion, that’ s the thing that r eally makes your
life start.  Or, What I’ve hear d is that as soon as you r etir e, that’ s when life
r eally gets going.  T hen you retire, and you hear  people talking about the
good old days. But they never had a “good old day” in their  whole life,
because they were always postponing and had an aversion to now.
There aren’ t many people who understand what Carly Simon said, that
these  are the good old  days. That’ s because everything


y and Avoirdupois—Contentment—Fletcherism and Political
Economy.
WHILE it is true that " Variety is the spice of
life," and that an appetising variety of plain foodis more tempting than a monotony of the mosthighly-spiced dishes, every tendency of modernmenus is a menace to health, and the only wayto counteract the menace is to be especiallycareful in observing the rules of EpicureanEconomy.
If the soup is particularly good, there is a
temptation to go on and completely satisfy theappetite on it. It requires the restraint ofcivilized suppression to keep from following theexample of Oliver Twist, calling for more andmore till the supply or appetite is exhausted.
Then comes the fish : Who can resist
accepting a generous helping of this course,served in any one of the dozens of styles thatare familiar to the patrons of Frenchrestaurants? And how hard it is to refrain from
cleaning up the plate in a hurry so that none ofit will be whisked away by the waiter to makeroom for course number three.
Nothing has been said of the Hors d'oeuvres
of the French menu, or the Ris Tavel of theDutch East Indian gorge, or the Smoer Gose of aScandinavian " Spread." A fairly ravenousperson, given time enough, and with no onelooking, can be counted on to make a " squaremeal " on these " appetizers " alone before thesoup is announced.
Mention of the " Roast," the " Entrées," the
 " Légumes," the " Dessert," and a bewildering
variety of cheeses to be followed by fruit, nutsand raisins, with several different wines,cordials, coffee, and cigars or cigarettes on theside. Even mention of them is likely to causepsychic indigestion.
If one goes to a restaurant with a quarto, gilt-
top appetite, and scans one of the monster,modern, mixed menus for a suggestion of whathe shall order, he will, undoubtedly, see five orsix items that will appeal to his imagination as " just the thing " ; and if the cost is no specialreason for restraint, he will put down on his
order list twice or three times as much as hecan possibly eat in order to be as many kinds ofa fam dool as he can be at the moment.
This is not an unreasonable or fantastic
illustration of the menace of a multiple menuand a colossal appetite in convenientconjunction. It is said that an amorous lover hasneither conscience nor discretion. This maysometimes be the case ; but it is always a surebetting proposition that an opulent, ravenously-hungry person will measure off with his eagereyes much more than his tummy can possiblyhold.
Then follows the inclination of the average
human being to " get his money's worth," even ifhe " must die for it." This is not alone a humancharacteristic exaggerated in sumptuously-civilized communities, but it is an animal traitas well. If a racehorse is turned out in a field ofclover that stands as high as his neck, he willvery likely eat himself to death. Likewise, if alittle child, with the animal characteristicsuppermost, is given a bag of sweets, he will besure to want to put himself securely outside ofthe whole bag-full in the shortest time possible,
so that he will make certain that no one willtake it away from him
.
GLUTTONY  AND AVOIRDUPOIS.
The menace of the munificent menu also
leads to the uncomfortable acquisition ofsurplus avoirdupois. On some persons it hasquite the opposite effect, however. The writerremembers that it was a tradition in his collegethat the thinnest man of a class was always thebiggest glutton. Each year, a prize of acombination knife, fork, and spoon, was given tothe grossest eater of the junior class. Within mymemory the recipient was always a very thinand cadaverous fellow.
As a matter of fact, the hardest work done by
the body is performed within the body. It is thework of digestion, general metabolism, and theconstant and never-ceasing pumping of theblood through hundreds of miles of veins andarteries. If this work is measured in terms ofheat units thrown off (calories) the internalactivity of the body is as two to three parts ofthe whole heat energy released into thesurrounding air.It is quite possible to increase this heat
expense by 20 to 50 per cent. by merelyoverloading the stomach a little, and crowdingthe mechanism of metabolism to its utmost.Sometimes the crowding is carried so far thatthe organism cannot stand it; somethingbursts ; and, there you are—dead.
CONTENTMENT.
The supremest felicity is not wanting
anything. If one cannot think of a single thingin the wide, wide world, not even oblivion, thatthey would have in addition to what they areenjoying at the moment, their cup ofcontentment is full.
In regard to eating, to have Fletcherized a
few morsels of the finest food that anyone'smother ever made, until there is no desire formore, and yet the contentment is of that calmsort that indicates that there is no overloadingof the stomach, is gastronomic Heaven, and itcarries with it a blanket of general contentmentthat covers the universe.
On the other hand, to have eaten unwisely,
as the result of animal voracity, over-estimate ofcapacity, and greed of getting outside of all that
must be paid for, or, in slavish deference toaggressive hospitality, is Hell from the finish ofthe meal until the finish of the " spell ofsickness " that may follow the gorge. It werealmost impossible to sink into the depths ofsuch gluttony on any one, two or three of thebest dishes possible to imagine; only a modernmultiple mixed menu is liable to bring thisdegradation, and hence the menace of it.
Suppose, again, you are framing up a
business deal, and have a customer " on thestring." The best way to get at his heart andpocket-book is through the sociabilityaccompanying a sumptuous meal.
You seek a Princess' Restaurant, a Ritz-
Carlton or a Waldorf, and make a spread of yourEpicurean generosity, your bank account, andyour business web or net. If you insist on fillingyour guests full of everything, you must set theexample. Results: Similar in all cases.
Science is not even secure against the
temptation of the monumental menu. Thewriter has known the citadel of scientificconservatism to be captured by five-dollar still-wine and fifty-cent. cigars, as accompaniments
of six-course dinner-dreams. This, too, in theinterest of an Epicurean Economy that put all ofthe academic teachings in the back-number list,and favored fifty-cent. banquets with nary acigar to top off the feast.
FLETCHERISM  AND POLITICAL  ECONOMY.
It may be argued that the waste attendant on
sumptuous living is the most prolific means ofkeeping money in circulation : of putting breadinto the mouths of the servant class: and thatSpartan simplicity would throw the world backtwo thousand years in the civilized progress ithas made.
That might be true of some forms of
sumptuousness, but not as to the wanton wasteof food through the temptations of magnificentmenus. Food is the realest of all forms ofwealth. Scarce ever a grain of wheat or kernelof corn is wasted. The story of the Englishmanwho visited Kansas, and from there took hometo London a colossal joke at the expense of cornand Kansas, illustrates the permanence andindestructibility of food wealth.Riding through the State, with a native
Kansan, an English globe-trotter wondered atthe endless fields of yellow " maize." He called itmaize, but the Kansan called it " corn."
" What in the world do you do with all this
maize? " said the mobilized Cockney. " Oh, thatis easy," replied the native: " We eat what wecan and we can what we can't."
In due season this strange answer was
interpreted to the visitor and he determined tocan the joke for serving up at his club inLondon.
Arriving in England, the joker made
deliberate preparations to open his can ofKansas corn to the best effect. He invited a setof chappies to dine with him and the pièce de
résistance was Kansas canned corn.
Having engineered the matter to the right
point of curiosity, the host told the story of hisvisit to Kansas and finally exploded his finale in
this wise : " Do you know, these Americans outin the West are a jolly lot. They have a dry sortof wit, too. I was travelling in company with oneof them through the State of Kansas, which isthe great maize State of the country. They don'tcall it maize, however, they call it corn, and
what we call corn they call wheat. Well, I wasamazed at the miles and miles of maize—no punintended and no apology needed—and asked mycompanion whatever in the world they did withit all. And what do you think he said : He said,' We eat what we can and the rest we put up intins!'"
It took the perpetrator of the joke another
week to find out why no one laughed, andspoiled everything by still waiting for the pointafter the real explosion took place : and nointernational incident is recorded


Do this also if you cannot immediately remove all dead teeth; continue with this until after they have been removed.
Preferably have amalgam ﬁllings replaced with plastic composite. The dentist should use a rubber dam and suction when removing
old ﬁllings. If you cannot pay for proper replacements, just seal affected teeth with cheap temporary ﬁller and do not chew any hard
items. Also nickel as in stainless steel can suppress the immune system. Try to ﬁnd a dentist who is familiar with safe amalgam
removal procedures as recommended by holistic dentists associations.
In addition to a vitamin C supplement program before and after amalgam removal, the amino acid L-cysteine as well as homeopathic
mercury 1M and higher potencies are helpful in removing mercury from tissues. Professionally injections of the mercury chelator
DMPS may be used. However, these may occasionally lead to complications and the oral DMSA  not only is much cheaper but
apparently also safer. According to promotional literature even more effective, cheaper and safer to use is P.C.A., a so-called peptide-
based clathration (chelation) formula produced by Goldleaf.
The pink colour of dentures may be due to heavy metals, commonly mercury or cadmium. If you cannot get a guarantee that the
coloring is free of heavy metals, it is safer to ask for clear plastic dentures made of Methyl Methacrylate, or Flexite for partial
dentures. Use plastic denture teeth rather than porcelain teeth, which are based on aluminium oxide and other metals. Change metal
bridges and partial dentures to clear plastic. Even gold can be a problem because to make it cheaper, it is commonly blended with
20% of the more harmful palladium. A small amount of gold as for one crown may be acceptable, but as a general rule keep your
mouth free of metals, and make sure only metal-free plastics are used as replacement. Try to ﬁnd a holistic dentist.
Even after removal of bad teeth, health problems can arise or continue from root or metal fragments or due to chronic infection and
inﬂammation in the jawbone. An experienced dentist with panoramic X-rays may discover this. If you cannot do all of this to sanitize
the inside of your mouth, just do the best you can and do not worry. Compensate any shortcomings here with a better diet and
positive thinking.
Packs
Packs over the tumor site are helpful with pain relief or to help break down a tumour. Packs are especially effective in combination
with cleansing periods. Helpful packs are freshly grated or pulped beetroot, crushed wheat grass or other grass, or black or purple
grapes, 3% hydrogen peroxide, Schweitzer solution, tea tree oil, hot castor oil, garlic, honey, or even urine. Keep the pack on as
much as possible, changing it sever al times during the day. At other times you may keep a fresh outer cabbage leaf over the tumor,
cut out the lower part of the stem and make the leaf more pliable by rolling it with a bottle. Renew the leaf after several hours.
In addition stimulate the liver with a hot castor oil pack. Liberally apply castor oil to the skin over the upper abdomen, stomach and
the right side of the lower rib cage. Cover with several layers of a woolen cloth and then with a hot water bottle. When it becomes too
hot, add more layers of cloth or just newspaper under the hot water bottle. Later remove these again as the water cools. Keep the
pack in place for 1-2 hours, the longer the better, even overnight.
With lung cancer use hot onion packs on chest and back, and eat plenty of onions. For the pack squash the onions after heating until
soft in an oven.
The honey plaster has an excellent reputation for pain relief and destroying tumors. The honey must be raw and not heated above 45
degrees C (like most honey sold in shops). Smear a thick layer of honey over the tumor area and cover with linen. Continue renewing
the honey for several weeks whenev er it has dried. It is even more effective if you mix a few drops of 35% hydrogen peroxide with the
honey. Gradually increase the number of drops until either the honey becomes too runny or the skin is irritated. Try to obtain honey
that is not runny and possibly crystallized.
Urea is especially effective for dissolving dead and putrefying ﬂesh, and removing bad odor from weeping or pussy areas. Good for
softening hardened or scarred areas is a urine pack, for details see Urine & Urea Therapy.
If the area is open and weeping then discard the pack daily and apply a fresh one. Possibly alternate with cabbage leaf.10/30/24, 4:55 PM Health-Science-Spirit - Physical CancerTherapies
https://health-science-spirit.com/Diseases/Cancer/Physical-Cancer-Therapies.html 2/6Blistering
Substances that irritate the skin can draw the inﬂammation around a tumor to the surface where it can dissipate. The skin becomes
red, and often tender or sore to the touch, and may even blister. Blistering is especially effective as it allows toxins to drain out. You
may drain the ﬂuid from any blister and cover with fresh cabbage leaf or honey until healed. The blister ﬂuid may be used to make a
homeopathic remedy.
As blistering agent you may use freshly crushed garlic. Put some cabbage leaf or cloth on top of it, and seal with a plastic sheet to
minimize odor. Renew the garlic daily until the skin becomes too sore and irritated, and then just cover with a frequently changed
cabbage leaf or honey.
Other skin irritants are a paste of cayenne, mustard, and the white sap from papaw, ﬁg and petty spurge (Euphorbia peplus). The
latter is also called cancer weed or radium weed, and can be used on skin cancers and insensitive external tumors. Also the
Australian Kangaroo apple, Devil's apple or Solanum hermannii (Curaderm) is ef fective.
A kerosene pack around the neck is suitable for any tumors, lymph gland swellings or infections in that area, or to stimulate thyroid
activity, but also good over any internal tumor where the skin is not broken or oversensitive. Moisten a cloth with kerosene and keep
over the tumor until gradually increasing burning of the skin becomes unbearable. This may happen after about 30 minutes, but can
also take hours if the immune system is slow to react.
The longer you can keep it on the better. The skin will be very red, and peel a few days later as after a sunburn. Repeat after a few
weeks for as long as required. In between use honey packs or cabbage leaf. Skin cancers may also be destroyed by repeatedly
applying a drop of 35% hydrogen peroxide, preferably protecting the surrounding skin with a barrier cream.
The acute inﬂammation initiated by blistering agents has a strong immune-stimulating effect and kills cancer cells. In contrast, the
chronic inﬂammation surrounding an invasive tumour is largely due to local overacidity, which activates tissue-destroying cancer
enzymes. A dormant or slow-growing tumor is largely painless because it is free of this pathogenic tumor inﬂammation. With
advanced cancer it is often difﬁcult to initiate an inﬂammatory healing reaction until the immune system has been sufﬁciently
strengthened.
Escharotics
Another way to remove melanoma and tumors close to the skin, sometimes including breast tumors, is with 'Escharotics'. These are
caustic remedies, commonly with zinc chloride and the herb bloodro ot as main ingredients. For more detailed information on
Cansema and escharotics in general see the Cansema User's Guide.
To reach a tumour under the skin, such as a breast tumor, it may be necessary to leave the paste in place for two or three days and
reapply fresh paste several times as soon as any developing pus has cleared. Keep covered with a vaseline-coated pad, which may
need frequent changing. Commonly  there is a strong local inﬂammation with swelling of the breast, redness and pain for several
days. The bigger the breast, and the deeper down the tumor, the more difﬁcult it is to create a hole deep enough for the Cansema to
reach it, and the more applications are required.
Colour Therapy
Blue light has several desirable effects in cancer treatment. It inhibits cell division and tumor growth, or excessive formation of white
blood cells. It also reduces tumor inﬂammations, relaxes and relieves pain. However, except with a general infection or inﬂammation
all over the body, and possibly leukemia and widespread lymph cancer, treat only areas of malignant activity and other sites of
inﬂammation with blue light, as this may slow the body metabolism. Also, except for the purpose of relaxing and becoming more
peaceful or sleepy, do not look for long periods into blue light, as this may reinforce any depressive tendencies.
You may use a blue light bulb at close range to expose selected skin areas, but expose the eyes to daylight or strong yellow light to
stimulate the metabolism and uplift the spirit.
However, more convenient is to use a 100-watt bulb and place two layers of dark blue cellophane over the tumor site. Over healthy
areas you may place green or orange cellophane for balance or stimulation. Instead of a light bulb, you


English word. Nor is it easy t o compare the many distinctive terms in
ancient India and China to elucidate their unique ideas on the subject of
consciousness, for their concepts tend to diver ge.
Though A yurve da makes selective use of many Indian schoo ls of
thought on the subject, including the Nyaya-V aisheshika and the Mimamsa,
it is mainly indebted to the  Sankhya philosophy for its ideas on
consciousness. Indian culture, science and religion seem alw ays to have
been pr eoccupied with understanding and explaining consciousness, a
preoccupation which produced t he rich body of knowledge that includes the
science of A yurveda.
The Chinese approach to this question, on the other hand, is rather
physical, more archaic and dow n to earth. Chinese philosophy and religion
view the physical body and Spirit as a continuum of each other, expressing
the dynamic dualism that perm eates nature according to the Y in-Y ang
theory. C hinese medicine neve r significantly added to or dev eloped new
theories of consciousness beyond these ancient cultural ideas in  spite of the
later influence of Indian Buddhism.
In th e Chinese c lassics the Spirit (shen) is considered to encom pass
and regulate all aspects of con sciousness; mind, cognition, intellect, ego
functioning and so on. Spirit, being an integrative force, is centered in the
Heart, though it utilizes the physical brain for functiona l purposes.
Furthermore, ac cording to the Chinese doctrine of the Five El ements, the
four oth er Y in Or gans assist the  Spirit housed in the Heart in st oring subtle
aspects of consciousness. The most important of these psycho-physical
forces are the Spiritual Soul (hu n) housed in the Liver and the Animal Soul
(po) housed in the Lungs (there were actually said to be three Spiritual soulsand seven Animal souls). T hese two soul groups form a polarity,
functioning to primarily generate a person’ s unique temperament; and
secondarily to govern the fate of the individual after death. The Kidneys are
said to house the  W ill, while the  Spleen for its part is believed to house the
Intellect.
By c ontrast the Indian classics distinguish between a causal body, a
subtle b ody (con sisting of mind, intellect and senses) and a physical body,
all c onnected together by an or ganizing principle (ego or ahamkara). The
soul (pu rusa) wh ich is of a pure transcendental nature, being sel f- luminous
and eternally conscious, is set apart from all three of these bodies.
Embodied consc iousness operates in accord with the cosmic tendencies of
the Three Attributes (gunas; i.e. sattva, rajas and tamas), the intellect
providing the physical basis for cognitive and discriminatory abilities while
the ego provide s self-awareness and individuation to the personality. The
mind motivates,  supervises and receives the impressions of the s ense or gans
that are constituted from the Five Elements that form the gross body. The
mind thi nks, measures, and makes decisions. A yurveda describes the seat of
this mind-intellect-ego complex as the ‘heart’; under certain conditions
this‘heart’ is actually the brain, while in others it is the physical  heart in the
chest. At any particular moment, whatever or gan co nsciousness
concentrates in is considered the‘heart’ at that time.4
D i s e a s e  C a u s a t i o n
B oth  Indian and Chi nese cultures recognized the fact that living in KS  harmony
with nat ure and human society is a prerequisite for perfect health. Disorientation or
interruption of this or ganic relationship with the physical, social or spiritual
environment is seen in both A yurveda and Chinese medicine as  the primary cause
of ill health. Both traditions agre e that every human being has an inherently unique
physical and psychological profile that arises from predisposed hereditary and
karmic factors and develops ac cording to the conditioning received from one’ s
social milieu. Each individual by virtue of his or her cons titution will react
dif ferently to environmental conditions and psychological stresses, and the
complexion of this reaction wil l determine whether or not one is able to live in
harmony with nature. In A yurveda people are dif ferentiated according to the Three
Doshas while in Chinese medicine the theories of Y in-Y ang and the Five Elements
provide the basis for understan ding a person’ s constitution and susceptibility to
illness.
Indian and Chinese medicine both concur that disease can arise either within
the body or from the exte rior environment, depending on constitutional
precipitating factors. Chinese medicine considers interior disorders to arise,
primarily, from disturbance wit hin the seven emotions and, sec ondarily, from the
or gans. A yurveda views the “allurement” of the mind by sense objects and its
“willfulness” in  gratifying these desires as the fundamental cause of all disease,
since improper gratification will disturb the digestive fire.
In gene ral, con temporary Chi nese medicine tends to put its greatest
emphasis on the external climatic and endogenous or gan causes for disease, while
A yurveda places its greatest emphasis on the role of digestion in the generation of
disease. Almost all diseases in A yurveda are said to be traceable  to weakness of the
digestive fire. In Chinese physiology, the internal fire that  warms the body,
regulates temperature and kindles digestion is referred to as Y ang Qi. Unlike
A yurveda, intern al fire in Chine se medicine does not assume this central role in
disease causation.
External causative factors are spoken about as forces in nature that injure the
body, an d both systems use remarkably similar ideas and term s to describe this
form of etiology. For example t he climatic factors of cold and damp are known toaggravate the Kapha Dosha in A yurveda, while in  Chinese medicine these external
forces are said t o increase the Y in within the body. The chart below lists some of
the correspondences that exist between external etiologic factors:
W ind an d dryness according to Chinese medicine are classically associated
with the  Y ang. In the chart above these two climatic factors are associated with the
Qi b ecause wind and dryness af fect the Liver and Lungs respectively. These or gans
are paramount in the circula tion of Qi throughout the b ody, and clinical
observation sho ws that these cl imatic factors do in fact disturb  the circulation of
Qi.
Indian and Chinese medicine al so agree that the transitions or  junctions of
the seaso ns are crucial times dur ing which illness may arise if the body’ s resistance
to d isease and adaptability to  the environment is low. For example, Kapha
predominates during childhood and Pitta during adulthood. Puberty and
adolescence form  the transition between these two “seasons” of  life, and teenagers
accordingly are prone to develo ping physical and mental imbalances. Menopause
and its male eq uivalent, form the junction between the Pitta-predominant adult
years and the V ata-dominated later years.
Both systems also emphasize the need to understand the ef fects of daily
cycles o n the human body. The Chinese perceive night and day as expressions of
Y in and Y ang, and label diurnal and nocturnal flows of ener gy through the
Meridians and or gans. In the A yurveda paradigm, Pitta predominates during
midday and midnight, Kapha in  early morning and early evening, and V ata at the
two junc tions (dawn and dusk), but there is also a relative overa ll predominance of
Pitta during the day and Kapha during the night. Likewise while the Indian year is
sub-divided into  six seasons acc ording to the ef fects of annual time on the Doshas,
it is also divided into two halves according to whether the sun  is “withdrawing”
ener gy from the earth (as it does when we are closest to it, during the summer) or
“releasing” ener gy to the earth (during the winter). Similarly th e Chinese ascribed
each sea son to an Element which reflected its innate nature whose forces could
enhance or disrupt the body’ s equilibrium depending on the circumstance.All diseases create either a defi ciency or an excess condition. In A yurveda
both conditions eventually weaken the physical or mental dige stive fire, and give
rise to the produ ction of Digestive T oxins, a pathological auto toxin composed of
partially digested material that clogs the system  and engenders unique symptoms.
Digestive T oxins in their turn ag gravate V ata’ s circulatory funct ions, and V ata then
further aggravates Pitta and Kapha. Eventually the imbalanced Doshas spread
throughout the body, dispersing disease farther afield.
Chinese medica l thought has a similar concept of pathological autotoxins in
the form  of Phlegm and, to a lesser extent, Stagnant Blood. According to this
theory P hlegm originates from a disturbance of water metabolism in the body,

THE FR UIT O NCE CALLED  “APPLE OF CAR THAGE”  by Pliny  has
been naturalized  all over the Mediterranean. W ith many biblical references
and documented use by Moses, Solomon, the prophet Mohammed and other
ancients, the pomegranate (Punica granatum)  h as a long an d symbolic
history. In fact, it is thought that Granada in Spain was named after the fruit.
Sirop de Grenadine, or grenade, as it is know in France, is made from the
juice of pomegranates, as is pomegranate molasses.
Pur chasing/Storing
Select firm and heavy fruits that appear to have ripened fully yellow or deep
red. Unp eeled p omegranates wil l keep in a cool place or the refrigerator for
a few weeks.
The photo above, taken in an open stall in Istanbul, shows the grains, or seeds of the “grain apple,” or
pomegranate. These seeds, encased in sacs of juice, are called arils and are held in place inside the
outer skin by thin bitter membranes.
Good W ithSweet or savoury dishes (the juicy flesh surrounding the
individual seeds has a sweet, slightly astringent flavour that
complements both).
Green citrus herbs such as rosemary, lemon thyme or sage.
Black olives, red onion, greens, nuts, citrus fruits.
Fresh cheeses such as cottage cheese, Neufchâtel, goat
cheese.
Other fruit, such as mangoes, ra spberries, peaches, apricots,
nectarines.
Moist, soft-textured fish such as catfish, mackerel, tilapia.
Pr eparation
The rind and the walls, or septa, that divide the inside sections of
pomegranate are very bitter, so the glistening ruby red see ds must be
separated from both before usin g. Using a paring knife, cut of f the crown.
Score the fruit in  quarters and p ull apart the 4 sections. Peel away the inner
walls co vering the seeds and tu rn the quarters inside out so the seeds will
pop out.

ected teeth are going to be the teeth that would have been the easiest to heal naturally and therefore
did not really need root canals. The very damaged and rotten teeth are the ones that are the most
difficult to heal and the most likely needing a root canal to save the tooth. These are cases where the
root canal procedure will many times fail. Basically root canals work the best for the teeth that do not
need them, and the worst for the teeth that do need them.
Why People Have Tooth Infections
Your tooth became infected because it is weak and damaged. Material from your mouth environmententered deeply into the tooth, which is now inflamed. As a response to the foreign invader, the
interior of the tooth acts to protect itself. This protection is known as an abscess. The body swells
around the foreign material, and sends white blood cells to contain the material and dissolve it or to
latch onto it and release it by collecting it in pus and then ejecting it out of your gums. The protective
mechanism of your body is the swelling, which usually is accompanied by pain. The pain is an
additional protection mechanism. Pain prevents you from chewing food in that location, so it
minimizes the chances of more material entering into the weakened area. Pain also prevents you from
chewing on the tooth so that it can be free from the biting pressure.
What a Root Canal Procedure Accomplishes
A root canal is the complete removal of the guts of your tooth. A large hole is drilled into the top of
your tooth, and the inner pulp of the tooth is removed. The inside of the tooth is then cleaned with
chemicals. Once the inside is clean, a synthetic material is placed within the tooth, which is now
partially dead, and a crown is placed on top of the tooth. If this crown has stainless steel or another
metal in it, then you can have the problem of dissimilar metals in the mouth. It is really
understandable why nobody is happy about root canals. They do not usually make you feel well.
With root canals, the dentist is manually accomplishing the cleansing of the interior of the tooth that
your body has, due to imbalances, become incapable of doing for itself. Infections do not usually
occur in healthy people; but if they do occur, the body quickly heals the infection. In unhealthy people,
or people who are in moderate health but have a poor diet, infections cannot heal. Thus, a dentist is
required to support their bodies in healing the infection. Infections also rarely occur in people who
have a good bite, because correct bite places less stress upon teeth.
The problem with root canals is that the reason for the infection is not addressed. The cause of the
infection could be a poor diet and an infection can loom up from below the root of the tooth, perhaps
at first unseen. The tooth may be traumatized or damaged by excessive biting pressures. Cleaning out
the guts of the tooth does not get to the root of the problem!
Should You Remove A Root Canalled Tooth?
Nearly every root canalled tooth contains within it toxic material. In a minority of people, their body
can wall off this source of infection, and they can be relatively unaffected by a root canal. If you
suffer from serious or debilitating chronic health problems, consider seeing a professional who can
help you determine if your root canals are causing your health problems. Infected root canals often go
undetected by x-rays and can wreak havoc in the body. The danger of any root canal you already have
is likely related to how unhealthy the tooth was in the first place. Root canals can be tested with a
TOPAS test, electrical testing devices or muscle testing to help identify a root canal that is
significantly harming your health.
The root canal procedure hides the pain of the infection, but usually it does not get down into the bone
and tooth root tips where the infection may exist. The procedure also does not address the causative
reason why the tooth is infected in the first place. Thus hidden infections can lurk at root canal sites.
If your health is not noticeably suffering, then many dentists believe you should keep your rootcanalled teeth.
21
 Currently there is no real natural replacement for your tooth. And although we have
the means to make healthy natural tooth replacements, I would not expect this technology to be
available, successful, or affordable for at least 20 years. Once you remove your tooth there is no
turning back.
Your bite and your ability to chew are supported by your tooth, even if it has a root canal. Numerous
people have told me personally that they have regretted getting their root canalled teeth pulled
because of how it affected their chewing or bite. An alternative to pulling a current tooth with root
canal is to have your root canal resterilized with the newest technologies such as EndoCal 10. That
being said, there is a time and place for certain root canalled teeth to be removed, and doing so has
saved some people’s lives.
Safer Root Canals and Avoiding Root Canals at the Dental Office
EndoCal 10, formerly known as Biocalex is a form of calcium oxide. Holistically oriented dentists
have reported good results from using this material. The root of the tooth needs to be carefully sealed
up from toxins before this material is used.
As an alternative to a root canal, dentists can use the precision of a laser to vaporize infections in
teeth without traumatizing the dental nerve.
22
 This treatment can also save teeth from needing root
canals or crowns. So rather than ripping the entire nerve of your tooth out, the dentist helps it heal and
leaves it in place. Tooth infections can also be relieved sometimes by homeopathic injections to
stimulate healing in a specific area of the jaw. These are much better ideas than root canals.
Does Your Tooth Need a Root Canal?
A root canal is a heroic last resort treatment to spare removal of a tooth whose life has otherwise
ended. A root canal is performed to clean up dangerous material and swelling that is not healing
naturally. Without severe pain or inflammation, your tooth, while it may have a cavity, is still
probably in relatively good health. So you do not want to remove the top of it and gut its insides
unless there is no other option left.
A majority of root canals are unnecessary. I do not recommend or encourage the treatment. However
in a case where there is absolutely no other choice, you will need to decide with your dentist and
health practitioner if you want to try a carefully executed root canal or extract the tooth. If you are not
in the situation of “there is no other choice,” then you do not need a root canal. A root canal is not
usually needed with cracked teeth that can be bonded together or in the case of inflamed areas near a
tooth that could be a gum infection, not a tooth infection. If your tooth has never had a dental
treatment, and it has not been severely traumatized then there is a very high likelihood that you do not
need a root canal. If your tooth is inflamed, the inflammation can be treated with a good diet and
herbs. Holistically oriented dentists also have tools to calm an infection, such as homeopathic
injections and lasers to stimulate healing. If you have been told that you need a root canal but you do
not feel any sort of pain, swelling or inflammation, then you more than likely do not need this dental
treatment.
My concluding advice when considering whether to get a root canal is to ask yourself, “Does mybody really need this treatment?” and, “Would a root canal contribute to my improved health?”
How to Heal Tooth Inflammation or Tooth Infection (Tooth Abscess) and Avoid That Root
Canal (these guidelines are not for children)
Many inflamed or infected teeth can heal naturally. But there are many cases where they cannot heal
naturally and need the help of the dentist’s hand to protect the tooth so that it can heal. In particular,
teeth that are crowned, extensively traumatized, or with large mercury fillings can be very difficult to
heal only with nutrition. This is because we are faced with a tooth that has suffered years and years of
trauma. The trauma has come from biting forces, nighttime clenching or grinding, and a poor diet.
After years and years of abuse, the tooth finally fails. It is a tall order to reverse a tooth that far gone
with nutrition alone because it could take months to rebuild the structure of such a traumatized tooth.
The more suggestions you can follow on this list, the better your chances of healing a tooth infection
in addition to following the previously presented dietary guidelines.

"Pancreatic cancer has some particular characteristics which are not like other
cancers. These characteristics include a lot of excessive gas and very unusual mental
states such as very severe nightmares, depression, anxiety and all the negative factors
that otherwise happy and cheerful individuals would not have. Such individuals flip
into depression and irritation and become hard to get along with.

was, her parents would have understood and paid no attention. That kind of unselfish
support can make the difference between life and death."

11-Year Victory Over Skin Cancer
"You have cancer."
When I  heard those three words over the telephone my only thought was "I'm
going to die!" I  was "shook up!" I  barely heard the voice on the other end of the
telephone tell me to come in and see Dr. S.L. as soon as possible.
Only another cancer patient knows what it means to be told "you have cancer." It
is not only a sentence of death; it is a sentence of death linked with severe pain.
I  was 46, living and working in New York City when I  was diagnosed as having
cancer. I  had been feeling "poorly" since I  was 37 and had had a partial
hysterectomy. I  was trying every day to live with "feeling poorly" because no doctor I
saw was able to help me "feel better." And believe me, I  saw many physicians in the
153
Winning The Cancer War
"Big Apple."
Our family physician, Dr. H.H., said I  should see a specialist because my periods
were too long, I  was losing too much blood during each period and I  had fibroids. I
went to the specialist he recommended who urged me not to wait, but to have the
operation "before it was too late." I  followed orders. I  had the operation. (By the way,
I  remember being sedated and prepared in the morning for the operation, which was
scheduled for 1:00 p.m. I  remember not being wheeled in until 4:00 p.m.! I  was
worried and wondered... w ill I  get the right operation? This experience filled me
with dismay and created distrust for the medical profession.)
I  was discharged with a clean bill of health. Now that I  had had the operation, did I
feel better? No, I  felt worse! I  was passing gas, feeling tired and terribly constipated. It
did no good to hear nice words of assurance from the doctor or that the tumor they
had removed was the size of a five-month pregnancy. I  didn't feel better hearing that
it was normal for some people not to have daily bowel movements. I  felt loggy.
Shortly after the operation and an "OK checkup" from the surgeon, I  went to our
family physician with the complaint "I have pain in the abdomen." He examined me
and was surprised to find a cyst in the former womb area. He asked me to return to
the specialist. I  refused. I  told our family physician that my confidence in the
specialist was gone. I  asked him to take care of me. After much pleading, he did. He
removed the cyst in his office by cauterization. Those were two painful office visits
for me.
I  still felt rotten. I  was fatigued all the time and passing gas much of the time. I  had
attacks of illness diagnosed as myositis and facial neuritis. I  had pains in my
abdomen, which were diagnosed as a nervous stomach. The family doctor suggested
I  take the gallbladder test. I  took it. Fortunately, at the time, there was nothing wrong
with my gallbladder. I  went to the dentist often because my gums were bleeding and
my teeth were loose.
I  was born with a brown mole on my left cheek. When I  was 14, hair began to
grow in the mole. It didn't hurt, but I  felt a pulsating sensation in the mole area. I  saw
a doctor who recommended removing the hairs by electrolysis. I  did this. Afterward,
the doctor said "It looks OK; we'll leave it alone for now, but you should always
watch the mole for any changes."
Two years after the hysterectomy operation at the age of 39, the brown mole on my
left check started to throb and grow. I  saw a skin specialist and had the mole excised.
A biopsy was performed. Diagnosis: Non-malignant.
In the fall of 1969, I  saw a gynecologist for a checkup. This doctor recommended
154
Winning The Cancer War
estrogen because I  had had a partial hysterectomy. I  took the estrogen for three
months only because round white spots emerged on both of my thighs and a growth
developed under the arch of my left foot. I  had to have this growth surgically
removed. This, too, was biopsied and declared non-malignant. At the same time, the
skin specialist removed some small growths on my face, forehead and right wrist.
I  was depressed; I  was still suffering with passing gas; my eyes were deteriorating. I
couldn't focus; couldn't see telephone numbers or addresses in the telephone book,
found it difficult to read the newspapers. I  suffered with muscle weakness and
cramps. The latter condition would often strike me at night while I  was sleeping with
such severity that I  would wake up screaming from the pain. My chestnut brown hair
was turning gray; the texture was now brittle. Worst of all, my face "itched" 24 hours
a day. I  wanted to holler because there was no letup of pain. I  found I  could no
longer tolerate any sunlight.
I  went to yet another specialist. I  gave him a list of my complaints. He gave me a
battery of tests, a big bill, and said that the tests showed there was nothing wrong
with me. He said, "You're getting older, try to make things easier." He suggested I  see
a psychiatrist. I  questioned him about my facial condition. He said the facial problem
was probably part of my active imagination. Ooh, but I  was angry when I  left his
office.
I  found the pain in my face intolerable. I  made an appointment with a skin
specialist in 1971. He performed surgery in his office and said, "W e'll do a biopsy but
I  doubt that you'll get your money's worth," Well, his office is the party that called
and told me, "You have cancer." I  think I  was shocked because I  thought I  had a
charmed existence when it came to surgery and biopsies. After all, I  had been
through many operations and biopsies and all had been diagnosed as being benign.
I  followed the skin specialist's recommendation of going into the hospital
immediately and having the "entire cancerous tumor completely removed." He said
he was sure this would be the case.
The short hospital stay was an ordeal. For a facial condition, I  had to undergo a
series of body X-rays and other tests. When I  asked, "Why? I  was told it was "hospital
procedure." I  don't know what good they did; I  do know it hiked up the bill. In the
hospital I  had a section between my lip and chin cut again. This biopsy also stated
that "the patient has cancer." The doctor said, "Go home, let your face heal and see
me in six months."
About this time I  began to visit health food stores in my neighborhood. Why? I
thought there might be something to taking supplements. I  was hoping to find
something to take to have more energy. I  bought books on health and I  bought health
155
Winning The Cancer War
magazines. I  was investigating another avenue towards feeling better.
I  didn't wait six months to see the doctor. I  called for an appointment four months
later because of the continuing pain. I  saw the skin specialist and on January 14,
1972, he cut away another portion of my chin. Another biopsy was performed.
Diagnosis: Cancer. He now told me that I  should see another type of specialist. In his
opinion, I  now needed chemo-surgery because the cancer had metastasized and
evidently was deeper than he had previously thought. He explained the treatment to
me. I  would be under the care of a very well known chemotherapy specialist. I  would
not have to be hospitalized for the treatment. I  would go to the hospital for five to ten
days on a daily basis from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Special chemicals would be put on
my face and where an area revealed cancer, the specialist would cut. After following
this procedure, he told me that if my face did not heal he knew of a very good plastic
surgeon.
For several reasons, I  decided not to follow the above path. First, the expense was
beyond the means of my husband and myself,

ingredients	(colors,	flavors,	fluoride	or	toxic	foaming	agents)	but	still	cleaned
teeth	well.	It	took	two	years	to	find	a	safe	and	effective	deodorant.	It	took	eight
months	to	find	a	pure	and	healthful	brand	of	olive	oil	that	contained	only	fresh,
high-quality	olives	and	was	extracted	in	a	manner	that	would	neither	damage	the
nutrients	in	nor	create	toxins	in	the	oil.	Recommendations	for	toothpaste,
deodorant,	olive	oil,	and	other	products	can	be	found	in	appendix	C.
Vitamin	supplements	were	the	biggest	challenge.	Almost	half	of	all	vitamin
brands	do	not	dissolve	quickly	enough	to	be	of	any	use	to	the	human	body,	and
many	do	not	contain	all	the	nutrients	listed	on	the	label.	Most	brands	contain
cheap	ingredients	that	have	only	marginal	biological	activity.
In	fact,	the	vast
majority	of	vitamin	brands	on	the	market	are	not	worth	what	you	pay	for	them—
they	are	only	marginally	useful,	and	many	contain	toxins	such	as	solvent
residues	and	artificial	colors.
It	took	me	over	a	year	of	research	to	find	a
superior	multivitamin	brand	and	several	additional	years	to	find	a	superior	brandof	vitamin	E	(see	appendix	B	for	what	I	use	and	recommend	in	vitamin
supplements).
It	is	amazing	how	many	difficulties	the	average	person	faces	in	trying	to	make
healthful	choices.	I	find	it	a	full-time	job	to	keep	up,	but	it	is	a	job	worth	doing.	I
learned	the	hard	way	how	suffering	can	come	when	health	is	failing;	the
challenge	and	success	of	recovering	from	a	terminal	illness	has	given	me	an
opportunity	to	arrive	at	unique	insights	that	I	am	now	sharing	with	you.
Perhaps	the	most	profound	conclusions	I	reached	in	my	study	of	health	are
that
health	is	a	choice
and	that
virtually	no	one	ever	has	to	be	sick.
But	first,	we
must	educate	ourselves;	we	must	know	not	only	what	to	look	for,	but	how	to
look.	To	choose	health,	we	must	learn	how	to	make	better	choices	in	the	foods
we	eat,	the	supplements	we	take	and	the	products	we	use.
While	most	of	the	products	I	selected	for	my	own	use	are	available	in	health
food	stores,	some	are	not	in	every	store	or	every	state.	To	make	life	easy	for
those	who	care	about	their	health,	Beyond	Health	makes	most	of	the	products	I
use	and	recommend	available	to	the	public.

UPPLEMENTS

illions	of	Americans	take	vitamin	supplements	on	a	daily	basis.	Does	it
improve	their	health?	For	the	most	part,	no.	Large-scale	epidemiological	studies
have	been	unable	to	find	health	benefits	in	those	who	take	vitamins.	Confused?
There	is	a	simple	explanation.	Most	vitamin	products	are	ineffective	and	even
the	best-selling	brands	contain	toxins.	Indeed,	taking	supplements	will	benefit
your	health,	but	only	if	you	take	the	correct	supplements.
After	years	of	research	and	testing	vitamin	products,	I	selected	the	Beyond
Health	brand	for	my	own	use.	During	my	recovery	from	terminal	illness,	I	knew
I	needed	a	nutritional	supplement	supply	of	the	highest	quality.	Even	small
amounts	of	impurities	and	toxins	were	sufficient	to	make	me	very	sick,	thus
purity
was	one	of	my	most	important	criteria	in	choosing	vitamins.	As	it	turns
out,	fillers	and/or	chemical	additives	constitute	about	half	of	most	vitamin
brands.	These	fillers	can	introduce	toxins	and	allergens,	interfere	with	solubility
and/or	absorption	and	ultimately	reduce	the	biological	activity	at	the	cellular
level.	Why	bother	to	take	a	supplement	if	it’s	going	to	contribute	to	your	toxic
load,	or	if	the	impurities	will	prevent	the	nutrients	from	reaching	and	being
metabolized	inside
