 in
today’s world, it is a rare individual who lives this way. Y et almost eve ry person I have ever met who eats great quantities of
fruit has written a book extolling its virtues. There must be a reason t hese fruit eaters are so excited about the excellent health
benefits that result from such a foodstyle.
Finally, their misguided notions about the glycemic index and their un necessary worries about elevated triglyceride levels
literally prevent them from considering fruit as a primary source of  calories. And so, in spite of the fact that fruit is universally
promoted as the ultimate health food, and in spite of their own conclusions th at carbohydrates must predominate the diet in
order for health to be possible, the majority of the world’s health pr ofessionals fail to see the obvious: A fruit-based diet is the
finest possibility we have for developing optimum health.

No one can deny that the low-fat vegetarian diets recommended by Pritiki n, McDougall, and their colleagues produce
phenomenal results in terms of health, vitality, and body weight. When t hey substitute cooked starches for meat in their diets,
program adherents show a marked reduction in cardiovascular disease and a n initial improvement in overall health and well-being.
Yet starch-and-grain-based diet proponents still broadly miss the mark w here optimum nutrition and health are concerned.
These complex carbohydrate foods lack in areas such as vitamin C, soluble f iber, and several hundred thousand phytonutrients. The
experience of eating them can’t compare to the ease, simplicity, c leanliness, and natural satiation of eating sweet fruit.

Grains: Pritikin’s Downfall
In 1988, a gentleman named Ross Horne wrote a book entitled Improving on Pritikin—Y ou Can Do Better.30  His story is
fascinating. In the 1970s, Horne was the “best disciple and staunchest supporter ” of Nathan Pritikin and his renowned
grain-based diet. But after experiencing himself and observing in others some serious delete rious effects of the Pritikin plan
(including arthritis and cancer), Horne wrote this book. In more than 150 pages, Horne details the health peri ls that
accompany a grain-based diet and precisely where Pritikin’ s logic fails.  With utmost respect for the superb results of
Pritikin’ s low-fat plan in reversing heart disease, Horne points out the f ollowing:
Although Pritikin’ s low-fat regimen is nothing short of miraculous in terms  of reversing heart disease, a healthy heart
does not ensure a healthy person. Pritikin’ s emphasis on grain (and, interestin gly, its excess protein, which averages
“only” 12% of calories) creates other health issues, ranging from arthritis to c ancer.
Horne’ s book presents a compelling and spellbinding argument against the consump tion of grains. Here is an excerpt
from Chapter 10, “Grains Are for the Birds”. 31
Pritikin’s mission, first and foremost, was the reversal of coronary he art disease. This was uppermost in his mind and so his
reasoning followed:

We must lower fat, cholesterol and protein, the causes of atherosclerosi s and heart disease. To do this we must cut out foods
of animal origin. We must become vegetarian.
As most of the food we eat goes into the production of energy, if we cut out anima l foods which provide most of the energy in
the American diet, as well as the protein, where then will we get our  energy and sufficient protein? The only other suitable foods available are cereals, root vegetables, and f ruits, because green vegetables are so low in food
value that you would have to eat them constantly all day long like cattl e do to get enough. We must therefore choose between
starch foods (cereals and potatoes) and fruit, and consider green vegetabl es mainly as a source of vitamins and minerals.

So far Pritikin’s reasoning was correct, but at this point his pr eoccupation with eliminating atherosclerosis became an
impediment. He knew that cholesterol and triglycerides (blood fats) were  the two factors most implicated in atherosclerosis and he
was determined that his diet should diminish these in the blood to as low lev els as possible. Cutting out animal derived foods
completely eliminated cholesterol and the harmful animal fats from  the diet, but what about triglycerides from vegetable sources?
Pritikin knew that concentrated sugar of any kind—refined sugar or ev en extracted natural raw sugar—entered the bloodstream too
quickly, upsetting the normal blood sugar levels and resulting in the produ ction of triglycerides, his number-two enemy. His reasoning
logically continued:

If out of our two remaining sources of energy and protein, one of them contain s sugar, a substance which elevates
triglycerides, we cannot entertain it as a principal source of nouris hment.
We must therefore severely ration fruit because of its sugar conte nt and rely almost entirely on cereals to provide our energy
and protein.

What was the outcome of this reasoning? It was a great outcome; Priti kin first of all eliminated his own atherosclerosis and
then proceeded to eliminate the atherosclerosis in the bodies of thousands  of people who followed his teachings.
This is how the current rage on complex carbohydrate started and why compa nies who make whole-grain bread, pasta,
cookies and crackers are doing so well.
But the reversal of heart disease and its associated problems is not the  be-all and end-all of health and longevity. There are
other things to consider besides restoring good circulation. Unsticking t he blood is only the first step in optimizing health, the second
step is to get the blood’s chemistry right. Pritikin had taken the lip o from lipotoxemia but much toxemia still remained. When he
grouped the natural sugars contained in fruit in with other sugars, Pritkin had made  a fatal mistake.

Because cooked grains create a condition known as acid toxemia, people who adher e to starch/grain-based diets eventually
fall victim to cancer, arthritis, chronic fatigue, hypothyroidism, a nd a host of other health challenges. A diet of grains and cooked
vegetables provides most of the vitamins; however, vitamin C—the  most important vitamin of all for the maintenance of tissue
integrity and immune system function, and the most easily destroyed by heat—is seriously lacking unless the diet also includes a great
deal of fresh fruit.
I maintain that whole, fresh fruits—“the other carbohydrate”—con tain precisely the fuel upon which we were designed to
thrive.
Let’s step back for a moment and examine in more detail the three typ es of carbohydrates—complex carbohydrates, refined
simple sugars, and whole-food simple carbohydrate from fruits.

Complex Carbohydrates
We find complex carbohydrates in rice, corn, and other grains; roots and tuber s (potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, carrots,
beets, turnips, parsnips, and the like); and legumes (beans, peas, and lentil s). We make breads, cakes, pastas, cereals, pancakes,
and pastries from these complex carbohydrate sources.
Across the board, complex carbohydrate foods are nutritionally inferior to fr uits and vegetables, which are the two highest
sources of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. Grains, for example, are low in vitamins A, B, C, and E, as well as sodium,
calcium, sulfur, and potassium. The phytic acid in grains is an antinu trient that drastically reduces zinc absorption. Legumes are low in
vitamins A and C as well. Both grains and legumes contain more protein  than I would recommend eating in quantity (their
percentages averaging in the teens and twenties, respectively).
With the exception of corn, peas, and some root vegetables like carrots and beet s, we cannot even attempt to eat most
complex carbohydrate foods from the garden, unprocessed, in the form Nature gi ves them to us. Even if we can physically chew
and swallow starchy carbohydrates, they are very difficult for our bodies  to digest. This is true whether they are eaten raw, soaked,
cooked, processed, or refined. We do not have the digestive enzymes to break down the ol igosaccharides in beans, nor the
polysaccharides (cellulose and other fibers) in grains and starchy v egetables, a sure sign that they are not designed for human
consumption. Biochemistry tells us exactly which foods we can and cann ot digest, and therefore what foods we should eat.
In the raw food world, creative chefs have devised recipes that utilize  soaked lentils, wild rice, oats and other grains. The
dishes they create from these easier-to-swallow yet still subst antially indigestible “staples” allow them to replicate many of  the tastes and textures we once enjoyed with cooked food. In all cases, however, grains, st archy tubers, and legumes create nutritional,
digestive, and health problems for those who eat them. Even when soaked and ra w, grains are acid forming in a body that needs to
be slightly alkaline.

Complex Carbohydrates and Disease
Many research studies link diets high in complex carbohydrates to nega tive health conditions. The gluten-containing grains 32
(primarily wheat, but also rye and barley)


became terribly windy and cold, and huge snowbanks were piled up high
about ten feet on each side of the highway. T o get out of the wind, I crushed
my w ay into the  snowbank and quickly dug out a little cave. I had plenty of
physical ener gy and was not near death, but I wanted a spell of relief from
the windchill. I climbed to the side of this little cave and tried to relax.
Then ou t of nowhere came a pro found, Infinite Radiance of Love beyond
all im agination, beyond human l ove, timeless and eternal, no be ginning andno end. It was c loser to me tha n my own self—closer to wha t I had ever
thought of myself or my personal identity as myself. That Infinite Love was
the core of who I was and had always been. It was an eternal Foreverness.
In th at s tate, you realize that what you are is Eternal, Infinite Love. The
Reality of that which you are is not dif ferent from Infinite, absolutely
Perfect Love, with no beginning and no end. That is the Revelation of the
T ruth of  your own existence. That is the truth of everyone’ s exi stence. That
which you are is Infinite Love, which has existed forever and has no
beginning and no end. All that is needed right now is for you to realize that!
The state occurred spontaneously, without thought, with no pronouns,
with no warning. In today’ s wo rld, people read this and then start looking
for a snowbank to experience i t, as if the place “caused” it to happen. Or
they ma ke a “holy” snowbank w here it occurred. (The snowbank eventually
melted, thankfully, so no one can put a holy placard in front of it!) It was a
very profound realization, beyo nd all learning, having nothing to do with
religion or theology. There is no connection between the line ar realm of
religion and the nonlinear realm  of the mystic. One involves thinking, and
the other is beyond it.
The mystic state is that of surrendering to the Self, to the ca pacity of
Divinity within to reveal Itself.  And it reveals Itself when it is  karmically
propitious to do so, not necessarily when you want it to happen. It can
happen at very inconvenient t imes. Y ou may find yourself completely
incapacitated, si tting there in a state of bliss on a rock, unable to get up,
move, o r leave. The police may come and cart you of f to a hospital, but in
that state you have no say in the matter.
The mystic who has realized the Self and then stays in the world to serve
a tea ching function is referred to as a sage. Self-realization, on the Map of
Consciousness, encompasses the levels 700 and up, with Raman a Maharshi
and Nisagardatta Maharaj as examples of the sage. In that state, one sees the
world in its essence.
The sage tells you, “The world you see does not exist.” This statement
confounds the ordinary mind, which assumes that its percep tions of the
world are exactly the way the world is. But the sage sees beyond
perception, whi ch is based on the illusion of separateness, and instead
witnesses the unity of all phenomena. The expressions of the rain may look
like separate raindrops; however, the rain is one.On the level of ordinary dualistic perception, there needs to be a “this”
causing a “that.” There is always a victim and perpetrator. What would
politics be without a victim and perpetrator? The life stories of most people
turn on the drama of “they did  this to me.” There is always a n oppressor
causing harm to the innocent on e. In contrast, the mystic sees the unity and
the truth beyond causation, beyond perception, which is emer gence.
Emer gence means there is no conflict between evolution and creation,
because creation expresses itself as evolution. The Infinite Field, out of
which all phenomenal existence  arises, is the field of consciousness itself,
which is  inheren tly compassion ate and just, for “Love is the Ultimate Law
of the Universe”  (statement calibrates at 750). The field and the phenomena
are one dynamic whole, simultaneously creation and evolution. The field of
consciousness, in other terminology, is called the Buddha-nature.
The field, the Buddha-nature, the state of Infinite Love, is always present,
awaiting your realization. It i s always complete. It does not go from
incomplete to complete. It is complete right from the beginning.  When I lay
in the snowbank, the state was complete, instantly once and fo r all. It did
not start, get louder and louder, and creep up my legs. Sudd enly, out of
nowhere, I was in a totally dif ferent realm and it was beatific. The only
reason I  left that state was to re lieve my father ’ s agony. He ca me looking
for me in our old Model A Ford, tracing my paper route. I was in this state
of bliss, and the next thing I knew my father was shaking my ankle: “Dave,
Dave!” I could see he would have been grief-stricken if I had n ot breathed
again. H e might have blamed hi mself for my death. So, out of lo ve for him,
I br eathed and reowned the body. The only alternative to that state of
Infinite Love, then, was another  form of love, personal love, and placing it
in front of Divine Love.
The inner state of the mystic ultimately cannot be described. It
transfigures all life like a Light has come on that illuminates a ll existence,
and the Radiance makes it dif ficult to function. One learns how to live with
it in a s eminormal fashion. W ith concentration, one can fool most of the
people most of the time—looking at them respectfully and sayin g, “Oh yes.
Uh-huh. That’ s right. Y eah. Mm-hmm.” Most people never know what they
are in the presence of, just as they are unaware of their own inner Self.
In contradistinction to the intellectual approach in religious education,
what we  are describing here i s the inner path. It arises from within. A
religious education can set the s tage for it, but it does not cause it. One canstudy theology day in and day out, and that study will not necessarily
precipitate an inner spiritual rea lization. However, if there is an interest in
religion, plus a certain motivation, the inner path becomes activated. The
great saints of C hristianity demonstrate that scriptural study, w orship, and
the d evotion to r eligion can end up as a mystical inner awarenes s. Suddenly
the word s dissol ve in the Realization of the inner T ruth. They call it Unio
mystica, the mystical union of self and Divinity, a state of Divine Love.
DIVINE ST A TES
This radical subjectivity may reveal itself as Agape, wh ich is the
lovingness for all existence. Bef ore you get to Agape, however,  there is the
state of Unconditional Love at 540. It  shows itself a s a lovingness for
nature, f or all people, a sensitivity to the beauty of everything that exists,
and a lovingness for all creatures in the animal kingdom. Y ou love one
animal j ust as easily as another. It is a lovingness for all life and all its
expressions. Go d is the source of all that is, without exception (c alibrates as
“true”). Everyth ing and everyone are a creation of God. Nothing exists that
is not a creation of God. As consciousness evolves, Divine  States are
calibrated as follows:

people, a nd the teachings in the calibration range of the 500s (L ove) have a

hydrophobia in consequence.
Why? As we have seen, there was no real proof of rabies in the dog
that had attacked him. But, for argument’s sake, granting that the
animal had been mad, it must be remembered that the wounds had
been cauterised. Though opinions differ as regards cauterisation, manyauthorities seem strongly in favour, and reference may be made to
Youatt’s cauterisation of upwards of four hundred persons, including
such application five times on himself, without hydrophobia developingin so much as a single case.
2
Dr. Cunningham, of Chicago, reported as cauterising 120 persons
annually, has averaged the mortality as about three in that number.Pasteur himself once wrote to a doctor near Paris as follows:
“Sir, the cauterisations that you have carried out ought to
reassure you fully as to the consequences of the bite. Attemptno other treatment: it is useless.”
3
Apart from cauterisation, the chance of hydrophobia developing in
a person bitten even by a so-called genuinely mad dog has been seen
to be small; and, moreover, as incubation has been known to extend to
twelve months, often to two years, or more, the danger for JosephMeister had obviously not been ended when, after little more than
three months, Pasteur dared to acclaim him as a brand snatched from
1. The Life of Pasteur, René Vallery-Radot, p.414.
2. Referred to in Rabies and Hydrophobia, Thomas M. Dolan.
3. Études sur la Rage, Dr. Lutaud, p.23.
Hydrophobia   295296   Béchamp or Pasteur?the burning, so to speak, by his spinal-cord dosage. Finally, other people,
including the dog’s owner, Max Vone, who had been bitten by the same
dog as Meister and on the same day, and who were neither cauterisednor treated by Pasteur, continued in good health.
Thus we see that this first much-vaunted case of Pasteurian success
has no more to be said for it, when examined carefully, than that JosephMeister, as far as his history is known, does not appear to have come
off better or worse through Pasteur’s treatment than several others
who went without it.
But all were not so fortunate as young Joseph. Another child,
Mathieu Vidau, inoculated by Pasteur and supposedly cured, died seven
months after treatment.
1
To excuse the death of again another child, Louise Pelletier, failure
was attributed to the bites being on the head and too much time having
elapsed after the bite before the inoculation; yet Pasteur had previouslyclaimed that his treatment would be successful if commenced at any
time before hydrophobia set in, even after a year or more.
Contradictions seem to have been of no account when needed asexcuses, so much so that an American, Dr. Dulles of Philadelphia, has
said that on placing Pasteur’s statements side by side, the acceptance
of almost any one demands the obliteration of others!
Dr. Charles Bell Taylor, in the National Review  of July 1890, gave a
list of cases in which Pasteur’s patients had died, while the dogs that
had bitten them remained healthy.
A notable failure was that of a French postman named Pierre Rascol
who, along with another man, was attacked by a dog supposed to be
mad. He was not actually bitten, for the dog’s teeth did not penetratehis clothing; but his companion received severe bites. The latter refused
to go to the Pasteur Institute, and remained in perfect health; but
unfortunate Rascol was forced by the postal authorities to undergo thetreatment, which he did from the 9th to the 14th March. On the
following 12th April, severe symptoms set in, with pain at the points of
inoculation – not at the place of a bite, for remember that he hadnever been bitten. On the 14th April, he died of paralytic hydrophobia,
the new disease brought into the world by Pasteur.
2
Little wonder that Professor Michel Peter complained:
“Pasteur does not cure hydrophobia: he gives it!”
1.Études sur la Rage, Dr. Lutaud, pp.245-6 and following.
2. ibid, Dr. Lutaud, p.277-8. For a similar case regarding a Frenchman named Née,
see the same work, p.345.Already, in his own day, there were many unbelievers in his method.
To these, in the London Lancet  of the 15th May, 1886, the following
caution was addressed by Dr. G. H. Brandt, evidently a sincere believerin the words and works of Pasteur:
“To the unbelievers, M. Pasteur says: ‘Wait! Time will reveal
many facts connected with this question, and it is only bycontinual experience and constant observations carried onfor a considerable time on hundreds of cases that we shall beable to arrive at positive and definite results.’ ”
Many years have gone by since these words were written, and we
find ourselves now in a position to study the experience and
observations for which earlier critics were told to be patient.
The claim for Pasteur’s success is based upon the assertion that he
reduced the death rate for hydrophobia from 16% to 1%. But a Colonel
Tillard has shown in a pamphlet called Pasteur and Rabies1 that the
16% theory of death rate before Pasteur brought in his supposedpreventive must be ridiculously wrong. As the yearly average number
of deaths for France up to then had not been more than 30, the number
of the bitten, according to the 16% estimate, says Colonel Tillard, shouldhave been less than 200; but Pasteur, on the contrary, had 1,778
2
patients during the year 1887, which meant, according to thiscalculation, that over 250 would have died had they not gone to him.This is nothing short of an absurdity in view of the fact that the highest
total of deaths ever recorded for any year was 66!
If we turn from France to other countries, we find that in Zurich, for
instance, of 233 persons bitten by rabid animals in a period of 42 years:
“only four died, two of whom were bitten in parts where
preventive measures could not be adopted.”3
In addition,
“Wendt of Breslau treated 106 persons bitten by mad animals
between the years 1810 and 1823. Of these, two died.”4
During an epidemic of rabies in Stockholm in 1824, 106 bitten
persons presented themselves at the Royal Hospital, of whom only one
contracted hydrophobia.5

Medicine, Prof. G. Sims Woodhead.

5. ibid, p.156.
Hydrophobia   297298   Béchamp or Pasteur?Many more instances might be enumerated; for example, the
gunpowder treatment formerly carried out in the island of Haiti, where,
though dog bites were common, hydrophobia was practically unknown.1
Such results of pre-Pasteurian treatment surpass the best boasts of
Pasteur and upset the truth of the 16% to 1% reduction in mortality.
Even were the latter claim correct, it would merely be brought aboutby the huge multiplication of cases, a method of manipulation
continually found in statistics, and which, as Dr. Boucher of Paris points
out,
2 does not prevent deaths from hydrophobia increasing even as
the percentage decreases!
As to this increase, the facts speak only too painfully; before Pasteur’s
treatment the average number of deaths per annum from hydrophobiain France was 30; after his treatment the yearly average number
increased to 45.
The late Professor Carlo Ruata gave the annual average mortality
from hydrophobia in Italy as being 65 before the Pasteur treatment,
and complained of its increase to 85 after the installation of nine anti-
rabic institutes. We cannot therefore wonder at the criticism that hepublished in the Corriere delta Sera :
“The numerous ‘cures’ that are boasted of in our nine anti-
rabic institutions (in Italy) are cures of bitten persons in whomthe rabies would never have developed, even if they had notbeen subjected to the anti-rabic inoculations; and the smallnumber of failures represent precisely the number of thosein whom the rabies has taken, and who, for that reason, dieafter the inoculation, as they would have died without it.
This is the mildest judgment that can be passed on the
work of our nine anti-rabic institutes, even if we might notunreasonably ask if some of the inoculated persons were notkilled by the inoculations themselves.”
As a comment on this, we can add that the National Anti-Vivisection
Society has collected a list of 1,220 deaths after Pasteurian treatment
between 1885 and 1901, and that the British Union for the Abolition
of Vivisection is making a further list, which

320OSLO ZHNENI I when exiting Fasting I
When exiting the dry term fasting is usually serious
complications were observed, but still need to know about them.
Complications occur most frequently with people reckless, which
not aware of his actions. in any case be
treated seriously, and to matters related to personal health,
- Twice. So if you decide to practice independently
Fasting - Take it with attention. Master techniques
gradually, to study the literature, the experience of others and, most importantly, watch
behind him. If, after short-term fasting you begin
"Jordan" and you can not control their behavior, in no
If not do long-term fasting.
Thus, the main complications:
Overeating in the first days after fasting. If, however, is
happened after fasting and you're stuffed stomach, you must call
vomiting and stomach wash. After that resume out of the ordinary
scheme. If you have overeaten at a later date, starve a
day and then continue to yield the desired product.
Edema, urinary retention. Fairly common complication. Due to the fact
that during starvation the body uses potassium and salt welcome
food in early recovery contributes to the accumulation
cells, sodium and, consequently, of water. Although there may be a
and at the correct exit from starvation after a long time
and beginners. Usually, it manifests a rapid weight gain.
This decreases the amount of urine may appear swollen
face and swelling of the legs. in case of occurrence of such symptoms should
eliminate salty foods and foods containing salt. Try
to this day does not have to take sorbents to 3 table. spoon into one
glass of water, 4 times a day every three hours, then take 40
Mr. magnesium, diluted in a glass of water, and then starve to
water for two days. Preferably in the days of fasting to take bath, sauna or
hot tub - and then allocated to the excess sodium and water. Very
well help preparations of potassium - or Panangin Asparkam that
should take 1 tablet 2-3 times daily in Tech. 2-5 days. Data
preparations contain magnesium and potassium, which are absolutely safe.
Constipation. Quite common, especially among beginners. When
the absence of an independent chair more than 2-3 days should be
enema. For beginners it is recommended in any case, do an enema
the second and third day out from fasting to get rid of
undigested food residues and to improve health. Can
take a laxative collection. Ingredients: dried apricots, figs, prunes, raisins -
all at 100 grams. All this is to wash out, scroll, add 100 grams
honey, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Take 2 tablespoons
spoon at bedtime for 4 - days. Also good to help the bran.
Bloating, flatulence. The main reason - early start
use of heavy meals, lack of chewing on it,
large amount eaten, the lack of purgation in
321
321fasting and to starvation. Recommended moderate yield
from fasting, enemas, early use of garlic, enough
locomotor activity at the output. In addition, these symptoms
very often observed during starvation in the winter and spring.
Restoring only plant food during this period
corresponds to the season and "cool" the body. To avoid this,
should increase the proportion of cereal, use spices, vegetable
and butter (no earlier than the third day). Remember - winter body
need a more dense, warm food, and in the summer and autumn, it is quite possible
long time to live on vegetables.
Weakness, dizziness, fainting. Occur in
time of departure from starvation during the first 3-5 days. They are associated with early
increasing physical regime. With a seeming surge of forces
You can not calculate their physical abilities, which leads
to bouts of weakness, dizziness, even fainting
states. For the prevention of exit from fasting to
comply with more stringent regime than under the most starvation. More
relax, not to take long walks, do not perform
heavy physical work, not overwork. and just hungry
experienced, well versed in the peculiarities of the organism,
can lead a fairly active lifestyle. Because the motor
load at the output of help quick changeover
organism to conventional food.
Exacerbation of underlying disease. If during the fasting you have
started worsening of a disease, it is desirable to continue
fasting until symptoms disappear. If this is impossible,
symptoms may persist and exit. In this case it is necessary
carry out the usual way and not rush to early
using a heavy meal. For the treatment can be used
homeopathic medicines. After a week of release, while maintaining
symptoms may careful application
medicines. It describes the main trouble with that
You can meet at the exit from starvation. The more you have
will own experience in the conduct of starvation, the less you
will be unpleasant symptoms. Each person should be well
themselves felt, and then everything will be just as you so wish. Important - not
hurry, but to constantly increase their own experience.
Now I'll give you an ideal scheme, how to carry out SFG
at home.
REMEMBER:
- Never start cleansing the intestines and liver, without altering
mode and power quality.
- Do not start any starvation, not cleaning the intestines and liver.
- Do not dry fasting, without trying wet.
- In order to obtain maximum benefit from starvation, it is necessary
to starvation were regular periods of fasting and increased
gradually.
322
322- Never spend at home, dry starvation
more than five days.
- Exit from starvation - it is 70% of therapeutic outcome, it must be
hold perfectly.
The scheme is designed for three months.
1-st month: 14 days, the natural nutrition;
7 days purgation and liver;
7 days starvation on buckwheat porridge, or who can not, one day
Wet starvation.
2 nd month: Week 1 - Day 1 wet fasting or 2 days for
those who are not starved for
buckwheat porridge;
2 - week - 2 or 3 days moist starvation
3rd week - 3 or 4 days of SH;
4 - week - 5-7 days for all the SH.
Third month: Week 1 - Day 1 SU;
Week 2 - 2 days SG;
3rd Week - 3 days SG;
Week 4 - 4-5 days in SG.
For those who have endured all kinds of fasting, you can do so - it
It is more efficient:
1 day hunger - 2 days of eating;
2 days starvation - 3 days of eating;
3 days starvation - 4 days food;
4 days hunger - 5 days of eating;
5 days of hunger - the output of the SG.
To fix the effect of fasting is recommended
The following schemes of maintenance therapy:
- Undertake cleansing the liver and intestines every quarter before
changing seasons.
In late February, early May (most efficient), at the end of August,
in late November.

Despite what you may have been led to believe about urine,
pharmaceutical companies have grossed billions of dollars from the sale
of drugs made from urine constituents as eye remedies, cosmetics,
and heart regulators.
Research is ongoing in labs worldwide attempting to isolate specific
elements of urine so they can create new drugs and patent those
substances.
Examples...
Pergonal is a fertility drug made from human urine.
In early 1990s, yearly sales of this drug reportedly grossed the drug
companies at $855 million while it costs a patient $1400 a month to
consume
Urokinase, a urine ingredient, collected free to those who collect urine
through 10,000 U.S. port-a-johns. Then it is used in drug form and sold as a

There are hundreds of horse farms in Canada and the USA that raise
pregnant Mares for their urine and when the foal is born it is auctioned and
normally sold for meat {very tender} to Japan. Big bucks.

It's made from carbamide -another name for synthetic urea.
Urine is a powerful healer and to get some understanding of how urine can
be such a powerful healing substance by itself, let's take a look at how
urine therapy has been known to completely eliminate allergies.
Researchers have discovered that allergic responses are caused by
"renegade" white blood cells that inappropriately attack substances even
when they may be no threat to the body. So it is the activity of these
renegade white blood cells, called antigen receptors that needs to be
corrected in order to cure the allergy.
29 In 1982, studies published by Dr. William Linscott
(in Basic and Clinical Immunology) showed that when these antigen
receptors (or renegade white blood cells) are reintroduced into the body,
the body actually developed antibodies to these antigen receptors,
and the antibodies then stopped the allergic response.
Realizing that the urine of allergic individuals contains the allergy causing
antigen receptors, researchers thought that to re-introduce the urine back
to the allergic individual would mean antibodies would be produced which
would then stop the allergic response. That in fact is exactly what happens.
Allergies have been completely turned around with urine therapy.
Using urine in this way to cure the allergy, is one form of isopathic
treatment. You're using the same substance that is causing the allergy, to
be reintroduced to the body making the body manufacture its own
antibody. If you understand this point, you may be able to see the ability of
this therapy to be used in just about any illness the body may experience.
Now let's take the idea of urine therapy and expand it to a biological
framework. Urine therapy has been able to cure seemingly
incurable disease states. Why?
Could it be the colloids in your blood that are the protits and somatids, are
very small particles. So small as to be unfilterable by something as the
kidneys. Though researchers may not have been looking, it is probable that
one of the constituents of urine are these colloid particles that naturally
just get passed through the kidneys out of the blood. When one consumes
their own urine through the process of urine therapy, they are receiving a
dose of these pure colloids. These biologically proceed to support the
immune function, and possibly lead to taking the pathogenic microbes in
the blood down to apathogenic states.
In this way, urine truly becomes the body's own perfect medicine.
DO NOT R£FVSE THlS THERAPY lf' VOV WANT

Don't take this therapy lightly.
Multiple sclerosis, heart conditions, cataracts, colitis, aids, lupus,
rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, hepatitis, hyperactivity, pancreatic
insufficiency, psoriasis, eczema, diabetes, herpes, mononucleosis, adrenal
failure, allergies and so many other ailments have been relieved through
use of this therapy.
After you overcome your negative response to becoming a practitioner,
you will realize that something big is going on, and if you are searching for
health, this is an area to investigate seriously for this is where it is.
30 There are numerous reports and double blind studies which go back to the
turn of the century supporting the efficacy of using urine for health.
The medical research done to date on urine indicates that it is completely
sterile. It only becomes contaminated once leaving the body.
Urine is a by-product of blood filtration, not waste filtration.
Urine contains compounds that are specific to each individual personally.
It is antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antineoplastic (anticancer),
anticonvulsive, and antispasmodic. It is totally non-toxic.
With research that could fill volumes, you may be wondering why you
haven't heard of this before.
Well, urine is abundant (everyone supply is unlimited), it's free,
It can't be controlled by the FDA and the AMA. Understood. Ka Ching.
How do we become a practitioner?
1 }. Use your own urine in a homeopathic fashion.
First, collect midstream urine in a clean cup or container.
Do not use plastic.
Glass, china, porcelain, bone, gourd, silver or gold is favorable.
This should be a clean catch, meaning the genital area
(important for women in particular) has been cleaned beforehand.
To 1/6 ounce of distilled water in sterile bottle, add 2 drops of fresh urine.
Cap and shake 40 I 50 times. Take one drop of this mix and add to another
1/6 ounce of distilled water and shake40 I 50 times.
Then one drop of mix & add to 1/6 oz. of 86 proof vodka as a preservative.
Place a few drops under the tongue hourly until there is an improvement or
exacerbation of symptoms. As improvement progresses, lengthen the
interval between treatments.
After 3 days, suspend treatment to avoid pushing the immune system.
Treatment is resumed if progress remains static or relapse occurs.
2}. Use fresh urine drops direct.
For some cases, sub*lingual drops work well.
(Should always use fresh urine immediately upon collection.
You should not boil or dilute the urine in any way for internal use.
For external use you may boil off 75% of liquid leaving 25%
Concentrated for massaging only.
Start by taking 1-5 drops of morning urine on the first day.
On the second day, take 5-10 drops in the morning.
On the third day, take 10-15 drops in the morning,
and the same amounts in the evening before you go to bed.
31 Once you feel accustomed to the therapy,
gradually increase the amount as needed for obtaining results for your
condition. Build up to being capable to drink direct from glass after
expelling.
Build up to being capable to drink direct from glass after expelling.
You will learn to adjust the amount you need by observing your reactions.
You may find that you'll work up to drinking an ounce or two at a time.
Later after a while you will be a full time practitioner and consume as
natural as your everyday consumption of water.
You will find that once you become a practitioner, every drop of liquid or
every once of food consumed will be a different taste within minutes.
It is my belief that your intake of foods and liquids will change to the better
for your health quickly.
Dr. David G. Williams, Alternative Newsletter, August, 1994:
"Several months ago I watched the movie Alive.
It's the true story of a South American soccer team whose airplane
crashed in snow-capped mountains in the dead of winter. The team
was stranded for a couple months and survived only by eating the
flesh of those who had died either during the crash or later from
injuries. A portion of the movie focused on two individuals whose
initial wounds progressed into serious infections.
Knowing no way to treat these two, the survivors could only attempt
to comfort them. Eventually the infection led to death. Watching the
intense suffering of these people made me wonder if there was more
that could have been done to save them. I now feel it's very possible
that these two people, and thousands of others around the world
would still be alive if they had been aware of the therapeutic effects
of urine.
With urine therapy, you get all the benefits of urea plus the additional
antibodies, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, hormones and more."

 sexual dramas
which dominate so much of our current thinking about rela-
tionships. It has little to do with the playful and transformative
aspects of sex as they are understood in the Taoist tradition.
Only when we move our thinking to the level of "sexual en-
ergy" is it possible for us to begin to see how the sexual function
can be properly understood and correctly employed in the service
of sexual harmony and health. According to the Taoist view, man
is constitutionally inferior to woman with respect to his sexual
capacities.
His energies are easily spent and with the advancement of
years his energetic capacity becomes severely diminished. It is this
factor that is a major cause of conflict between men and women
and it is this factor that is the basic underlying issue of so much of
the current sexual counseling and sex therapy.
From our contemporary perspective the idea of a sexual
Kung-Fu seems odd and maybe even a little revolutionary. But
with the growing interactions of oriental and Western culture and
medicine, and the resultant impact on Western sexology, the prin-
ciples and methods of Seminal and Ovarian Kung-Fu could gradu-
ally become accepted.
XIVConsidering the fact that Western sexological research is
quite young, we might anticipate the kind of confusion that one
finds in a teenager exploring his/her sexuality. By contrast, the
Taoist tradition is over eight thousand years old and has reached a
full maturity in both theory and method. In fact, both traditions are
dealing with the control of the same powerful impulse. Whether or
not the Taoist Sexual King-Fu can work in Western society will be
determined in part by its translation of it into Western forms of
scientific understanding and psychology. Its acceptance may hinge
equally on the willingness of Westerners to adapt themselves to the
wisdom of the Taoist masters.
The ancient Taoist masters would enjoy this play of opposing
forces as the inevitable working of the Tao. A young Taoist master
has taken the bold step of revealing the secret methodology to the
west; it is up to the reader to test its truth.
XVSUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPLES OF
TAOIST CULTIVATION
OF SEXUAL ENERGY
1. The universe is filled with different kinds of dynamic en-
ergy, or "chi." The Tao, or "way," for each man is to creatively
transform his energy over a course of a lifetime back to its original
state of harmonious balance. Sexual essence, or "ching," is a
powerful, vital energy that is generated continuously within the
human body. Sexual drive propels the course of man's evolution
biologically by transmitting the genetic lineage. Emotionally it har-
monizes the love between man and woman, and spiritually pro-
vides a tangible link between the "ordinary" creative powers of
man and the eternal creative process of the cosmos. Refining one's
awareness of sexual energy—with or without a partner—is one of
the simplist ways of humans to return to pure consciousness and
experience the deepest rhythms of life. (Chapters 1 and 2.)
2. Sperm is the storehouse of male sexual energy. A single
ejaculation has 200 to 500 million sperm cells, each a potential
human being. There are enough spermotozoa lost in a single
orgasm to populate the entire United States if each cell was to
fertilize an egg. The manufacture of a sperm fluid capable of such
psychic super potency consumes up to a third of a man's daily
energy output and is especially taxing on the male glandular/immu-
nological system. (Chapters 3 and 4).
3. Conservation of sexual energy is the first principle of
cultivation. Ejaculation of the male seed for purposes other than
having children is a wasteful loss of an extremely precious trea-
sure. The energy loss over long periods of time weakens the phys-
ical health of the male, can lead to unconscious emotional anger
towards women and gradually robs the male higher mind/spirit of
it's power to rejuvenate itself. For this reason many traditional
spiritual orders in the world require male celibacy. Taoists accept
sexual love as natural and healthy, but know the momentary plea-
sure of genital orgasm with ejaculation is superficial compared to
the profound ecstasy possible when love is enjoyed without the
loss of the powerful male seed. It's every man's birthright to have
full control over his bodily functions and prevent this loss. The
secret Taoist methods of sealing the penis in order to conserve
"ching" are given in Chapters 5 thru 8.
4. Transformation of sex energy is the second principle of
cultivation. During sexual arousal, the "ching" or sexual essence
stored in the testicles expands rapidly and causes some energy tonaturally rise to higher centers in the heart, brain, glands, and
nervous system. This upward movement is cut short by ejaculation
outward, so most men never become aware of the full power of
their sexuality. The Taoist method perfects this upward transfor-
mation of sex energy by opening subtle channels from the genitals
up the spine to the head and back down the spine to the navel. The
expanding sexual energy is chanelled into this "microcosmic or-
bit" so it flows past all the major vital organs and harmonizes the
etheric energy complexes in the body, called "Tan Tiens" by the
Taoists (or "chakras" by the Hindus). (Chapters 7 and 8)
5. Balancing the polarity of female-male (yin-yang) forces is
the third principle of Taoist cultivation. Once the sex energy has
been conserved and transformed up, a single man can use medita-
tion to balance the male and female poles which exist inside every
male body. In the practice of "dual" cultivation, a couple balances
this field of energy between them by sharing and circulating their
subtle energies. The relationship becomes a springboard to trans-
form the sexual attraction into personal love and then into spiritual
awareness and service. The power struggle between the sexes
gradually diminishes and balancing their differences over work,
family, love, and the purpose of existence leads them into deeper
harmony. Balancing this core sexual polarity in a couple is true
depth psychology, as it nourishes man and woman at their inner-
most root. Chapter 9 details the "valley orgasm" method of ex-
changing the yin and yang energy during intercourse. A higher
level of this practice involves exchanging energy without sex, or
having orgasm within oneself, and must be learned from a master.
(Chapter 18)
6. Don't over-emphasize physical sex in your daily practice,
as it is easy to get stuck on pleasure without experiencing higher
subtle energies. Proper sexual refinement is only one small part of
the vast and all-encompassing Tao. If the mixture of your chi (gen-
eral vital energy), ching (sex essence) and shien (spirit) is im-
balanced, it will be difficult to unite yourself and feel whole and
peaceful. Cultivating sex energy is important in nourishing your
spirit, but without proper diet, exercise, meditation, virtuous moral
behavior and love, true cultivation is impossible. Likewise, don't
ignore sex and focus excessively on the higher spiritual centers; the
roof will easily fall without a strong foundation below. Tao is the
wholeness of Heaven and Earth, true harmony for man is the mid-
dle way between them, found in the balanced integration of their
subtle energies.
XVIII7. Avoid sex without love. It creates imbalances in your phys-
ical, mental and spiritual bodies and will slow your real growth.
The Taoist techniques are meant to be practical, not mechanical. A
woman seeks tenderness of feeling in her lovers and will resent a
man who is overly compulsive or preoccupied with his mechanical
mastery of esoteric love methods. Dual cultivation is impossible
without the full participation of the woman, who must transform up
her yin essence stored in her ovaries. Regard the woman you love
as more than a powerful generator of yin energy; she is foremost a
human being worthy of your full love and respect.
8. You do not need a wife or girlfriend to cultivate your sexual
energy. In the beginning it is easier to practice controlling your
ejaculation alone, without the distracting excitement and heat of a
woman. At any stage it is essential to tell your lover exactly what
you're doing and ask her cooperation. The same principles of Tao-
ist cultivation apply to women, with sexual essence drawn from the
ovaries and this "ching" transformed upward into higher mind and
heart. Many women already have an intuitive feel for the process.
The receptive nature of women allows them to quickly learn the
Tao of love, especially if the man has mastered the process in his
own body.
9. Any male in reasonably good health can master the Taoist
methods of cultivating sexual energy taught in this book. If you feel
impotent or ejaculate prematurely, the rejuvenation exercises in
Chapter 15 should be studied before attempting the Big Draw
method taught in Chapter 7. The principles of cultivation are sim-
ple, but require steady attention. Its like cultivating a garden—hoe
a little everyday, and nature will do the rest. One day you will have
luscious blossoms and fruits. An impatient mind kills progress. Do
not feel guilty or angry when you spill your seed; it may take years
to fully master the Tao of love. The key is


 a split second to stop yourself in your mode of
judgment or frustration and have a brief talk with yourself on the spot. Just
remind yourself  to step back and be a witness rather than a protagonist,
which you can do by providing a sanctuary for the feeling you’re judging.
Invite Divine natural order in by simply allowing what you’re experiencing
to go forward without criticism  or control; in this way, you move to the
center. Think of the need to control as a signal to allow the Tao to flow
freely through your life. At first your ego-mind may loudly scoff at the idea
of the Tao being  responsible for the perfect unfolding of everything. It’s up
to you to recognize that your belief that ego can control life is an illusion.
Practice r ecognizing that ther e’s a time for everything.
When you’re in the middle of a tough moment, repeat the lines given to
you by Lao-tzu.  I do this in yoga practice when I feel exhausted holding a
position for what seems like a too-lengthy period. I remind myself, There’s
a time for being  exhausted, and there’s a time for being vigor ous. This frees
me immediately  from my demanding ego, which is saying, You shouldn’ t be
feeling this tired. You can do the same in any moment in your life.
Experiences of pain, loss, fear, anger, and even hatred seem to vanish when
you remember that this is a part of the perfect blossoming of natural law;
and there will soon be a time for comfort, peace, and love.
Apply this verse of the Tao Te Ching by creating your personalized
statement when you observe things such as crime, AIDS, hunger, and war.
Try something like, Yes, there seems  to be a time for such things, and I
choose not to remain in extremes of resentment and anger. But there is also
my desir e to do something about these cir cumstances— that feeling is also a
part of the natural law unfolding. I choose to act on my inner desir e to
rectify these conditions. By remaining internally peaceful and avoiding the
extremes, I will impact the world in the same loving way that the Tao
eternally manifests fr om love and kindness.
It’s not what you see around you that keeps you connected to the Tao; it’s
understanding how this eternal flow works. As Ralph Waldo Emerson putit, “By atoms, by trifles, by sots, heaven operates. The needles are nothing,
the magnetism is all.”
Do the T ao Now
Find a place where control is all-consuming and relinquish it today. Stifle
your inclination to interfere, reminding yourself as you do so that there’ s a
time for everything and you’re becoming more adept at observing
peacefully rather than taking over.
Post this advice by Naomi Long Madgett where you can read it, and be
constantly reminded of your desire to live naturally:
I wouldn’ t coax the plant if I wer e you.
Such watchful nurturing may do it harm.
Let the soil r est fr om so much digging
And wait until it’ s dry befor e you water it.
The leaf ’s inclined to find its own dir ection;
Give it a chance to seek the sunlight for itself.

Much gr owth is stunted by too much pr odding,
Too eager tenderness.
The things we love we have to learn to leave alone.
OceanofPDF.comOceanofPDF.com30th Verse
One who would guide a leader of men in the uses of life
will warn him against the use of arms for conquest.
Weapons often turn upon the wielder.

Wher e armies settle,
natur e offers nothing but briars and thorns.
After a gr eat battle has been fought,
the land is cursed, the cr ops fail,
the earth lies stripped of its Mother hood.

After you have attained your purpose,
you must not parade your success,
you must not boast of your ability,
you must not feel pr oud;
you must rather r egret that you had not been
able to pr event the war.

You must never think of conquering others by for ce.
Whatever strains with for ce
will soon decay.
It is not attuned to the W ay.
Not being attuned to the W ay,
its end comes all too soon.
OceanofPDF.comLiving
Without Force
If you were to explicitly follow the advice offered in this 30th verse of the
Tao Te Ching, you’d be in a position to have a conflict-free existence.
Imagine that! If our entire global population understood and lived the
directives of this chapter of the Tao Te Ching, we’d finally be free of battle-
related stress, along with the ravages that war has spread acros s our planet
since we began keeping historical records. As the 29th verse wisely
instructed, there’ s a time for everything—could this be the time for living
without force?
Here’ s my impr ession of what’ s being offered to you in this verse: Force
creates a counterforce, and this exchange goes on and on until an all-out
war is in progr ess. Once war has begun, decimation and famine result
because the land cannot produc e crops. Now when you create war in your
personal life, it produces a dearth of love, kindness, and joy, which leaves
you and everyone around you stripped of Divine Motherhood. Lao-tzu is
encouraging you to look for an alternative to force for settling disputes. If
you can find no other option, then you’re encouraged to abandon any
reference to yourself as winning or conquering.
Force includes any use of physi cal or mental abuse in which the weapons
of hatred and intolerance are applied. There will always be a counterforce,
and what you’ve opted to do isn’t “attuned to the Way.” This means that
you’ll ultimately lose—especially when you consider that Martin Luther
King, Jr., once observed that the only way to convert an enemy to a friend is
through love.
Unfortunately, whenever force is used, resentment and ultimately revenge
become the means for responding. If we’re thinking in war-zone terms, the
killing of a large group of peop le designated as enemies leaves their sons
and daughters growing up hating the vanquishers. Ultimately, those
survivors take up weapons to exact revenge on the children of those who
vanquished them. The use of force propels entire generations of people intoa continuation of war. Or as Lao-tzu puts it, “Weapons often turn upon the
wielder.”
Thinking in alignment with the Tao applies to any conflict you may
experience. When you resort to force, then disputes with your spouse, your
children, your business partners, and even your neighbors will continue to
intensify. That’ s because the Great Way of Tao is that of cooperation, not
competition.
The all-creating Source is alway s providing, asking nothing in return, and
coming from a place of sharing  its inherent love. It knows that all are part
of the 10,000 things, and they must cooperate with each other because they
share the same origin. So whenever you’re in a mode that propels you in the
direction of using force, you’ve  lost sight of your connection  to the Tao.
Moreover, any collection of people (such as communities or countries) who
resort to weapons to get their points across are unattuned to the Way.
They’ll leave the earth and the hearts of the people uninhabitable, except to
“briars and thorn s.” Your choice concerning your commitment to practicing
the Tao includes refusing to participate in any manner, be it mental or
physical, in anything that violates your understanding of the advice offered
in this powerful passage of the T ao Te Ching.
Perhaps the easiest lesson prese nted here is the reminder to eschew the
behaviors of boastfulness and pomposity for anything achieved by force.
Remember that whatever is accomplished in such a way creates a
counterforce that will ultimately  result in your victory turning to a defeat. If
you somehow feel that you had no other choice than to use violence to
protect yourself and those you love, immediately retreat to a position that
doesn’ t allow for bragging and self-congratulation. Vow to work on
restoring a balance of love where hatred previously resided, and do all that
you can to make amends for any damage that resulted from your use of
force. This 30th Verse is the Way. It has also been called wu-wei, or “not
forcing,” which means to take the line of least resistance in all of one’s
actions, and by doing so, create more strength.
Here’ s what I believe you can learn and practice from Lao-tzu’ s advice in
this 30th verse of the T ao Te Ching:
Eliminate verbal and/or physical for ce in all situations.Examine the relationships in which you experience conflict. Make a
concerted decision to use less harsh language and to completely veer away
from becoming  physical in the resolution of any altercation. Practice
stopping thoughts of violence by shifting right in the mom ent to a stance of
listening. Bite your tongue! Stifle yourself! Hold back any response at all
for the time being.
These are great reminders to you to become attuned to the Way.
Remember, any act of force will definitely produce a counterforce, so if you
insist on escalating devastation, your weapons will be turned  back upon
you.

expansive	because	we	spend	so	much	time	believing	that	the	man’s	way	or	the
woman’s	way	has	to	be	right.	Baba	took	this	much	further.	He	thought
everyone	should	expand	on	five	levels	every	day.
Mind:
	You	are	expanding	mentally	if	you	understand	more	about	life
and	the	soul.
Body:
	You	are	expanding	physically	if	you	feel	light,	carefree,	and
safe	in	the	world.
Emotions:
	You	are	expanding	emotionally	if	you	feel	happier	and
more	positive.	At	the	same	time	fear	and	anger	don’t	cloud	you	with
their	negativity.
Psychology:
	You	are	expanding	psychologically	if	you	feel	more	free.
Spirit:
	You	are	expanding	spiritually	when	your	vision	of	life	is
coming	true.
I	apply	these	five	levels	to	myself,	and	only	if	I	am	expanding	on	all	of	them
do	I	feel	I’m	really	getting	closer	to	my	soul.

ORGIVENESS
Today,	forgive	somebody	for	one	thing	that	hurt	you	in	the	past.	You	don’t
have	to	talk	to	the	person	who	wronged	you	or	make	an	announcement.	But
you	do	have	to	truly	forgive,	which	means	that	from	this	day	on	the	wrong
has	been	erased	completely.	You	will	treat	that	person	as	if	the	hurt	never
happened.	(I’m	sure	you’ve	met	people	who	say	“I	forgive	you”	on	Monday
but	somehow	manage	to	dredge	up	your	offenses	on	Tuesday—or	the	nexttime	they	get	irritated.	If	you	find	yourself	saying,	“Remember	that	time	you
did	X	to	me?”	then	you	haven’t	really	forgiven	or	forgotten.)
Even	if	somebody	in	your	life	needs	a	lot	of	forgiving,	you	can	find	one	small
thing	to	start	with.	Baba	knew	that	even	this	was	a	challenge,	however.
“Do	you	find	it	hard	to	forgive	people	who’ve	done	something	wrong?”	he
asked	me.
“Sure,	especially	if	they	did	it	to	me,”	I	said.
“Then	why	bother	to	try?”	he	asked.
“Because	you’re	supposed	to.”
“Ah,	now	you	know	why
not
	to	forgive,”	Baba	said.	“Anything	you	do
because	you	are	supposed	to	is	forced.
	Remember	the	times	as	a	child	when
you	were	told	to	make	up	with	your	brother	after	a	fight?	The	only	reason	you
did	was	because	your	parents	were	standing	over	you.	That	kind	of
forgiveness	only	creates	more	resentment,	which	you	will	bury	because
resentment	is	supposed	to	be	bad.	There	is	another	way.	Forgive	because	it
makes	you	feel	better.	Forgive	because	it	removes	toxic	memories	from	your
mind.	Forgive	because	it	opens	the	door	for	accepting	yourself.	In	the	end	you
cannot	accept	yourself	without	forgiveness,	because	in	your	heart	of	hearts
you	know	that	you	want	to	be	forgiven	too.	Once	you	admit	that	to	yourself,
people	will	hear	the	sincerity	in	your	voice	when	you	forgive	them.”

Today,	decide	that	you	will	look	upon	life	as	a	gift.	Take	a	moment	to	list	the
blessings	in	your	life.	Maybe	that	sounds	corny,	but	Baba	found	it	very
important.
“Do	you	think	every	day	is	a	gift?”	he	asked	me.
“Well	…”
“I	thought	so.	The	funny	thing	is	that	people	mostly	want	to	grab	at	life.	They
want	more	and	more	for	themselves.	With	that	attitude	life	isn’t	a	gift,	it’s
more	like	loot	that	you	are	robbing	from	someone,”	Baba	said.	“To	make
every	day	feel	like	a	gift,	you	must	feel	deep	down	that	no	one	can	take	itfrom	you.	Isn’t	that	what	a	gift	is—something	completely	yours	without
strings	attached?	Life	seems	to	have	strings	attached.	You	must	work	and
prove	yourself;	you	must	strive	for	love	and	approval	that	may	be	taken	away.
“All	these	things	exist	in	the	mind,	however.	To	your	soul,	life	is	purely	a


 vehicle for 5 ′-deoxy-5-  i odotubercidin
(5′d-5IT), an adenosine kinase inhibitor in a rat MCAO model, and found similar
results, that is, a smaller infarct volume and reduced neurological deficits with DMSO-5 ′d-5IT when compared with no treatment. Improved neurologic scores were
seen in both DMSO-5 ′d-5IT rat groups, with MCAO and in DMSO given alone.
122
In 2007, Wright et al.123 reported a phase II randomized controlled study com -
paring progesterone to placebo in 100 patients (77:23) with traumatic brain injury. The primary measure of benefit was 30-day mortality in patients whose GCS ranged from 4 (severe) to 12 (mild). Thirty days postinjury, patients with severe traumatic 225 DMSO in Clinical Neuroprotection
brain injury given progesterone had a lower mortality rate than the placebo group,
but due to the small number of patients enrolled in the study, these differences did not reach significant levels.
123 Two smaller clinical studies on progesterone followed.
Despite the many reports discussing the benefits of progesterone treatment in a
variety of rodent CNS injuries,124 this hormone has been used in only three small
human studies for traumatic brain injury.72
The three studies included 315 patients, of which 180 received progesterone
(Table 9.1). Two studies involving 215 patients were done in China and one in the United States with 100 patients.
123,125,126 All three studies reported the results of pro -
gesterone on mortality as compared to placebo following traumatic brain injury.72
The general protocol for progesterone administration was 0.71 mg/kg IV infusion for the first hour and 0.5 mg/kg for the next 11 h.
123 Progesterone 0.5 mg/kg was
continued every 12 h for 3 days. The patients were divided according to their GCS, which ranged from 4–8, severe trauma, to 9–12, moderate trauma.
123
Results from these studies reported no differences between progesterone and pla -
cebo for ICP or CPP. An improved mortality rate for progesterone after a 30-day123
or 6-month125,126 follow-up was observed. Paradoxically, disability in surviving U.S.
patients was deemed to be better after placebo compared to progesterone, a detail that was attributed to slightly higher survival rate in the progesterone group.
123
However, disability was reported to be less for progesterone-treated patients
compared to controls after 6 months follow-up in the China trials using a modified functional-independent measure score.
125,126 The reason for this disparity may be a
slightly higher dose of progesterone used in the Chinese trials.
None of the three studies reported the effects of progesterone on CBF, cerebro -
vascular resistance, or cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (Table 9.1).
A Cochrane data analysis72 of the three progesterone trials concluded that the
evidence appeared insufficient to recommend the drug for isolated traumatic brain injury and that further multicenter RCTs were needed.
It is not known how progesterone is able to lower elevated ICP and reduce brain edema
although its neurosteroidal, anti-inflammatory actions may play an important role.
114,127
A comparison of the clinical effects for using progesterone versus DMSO treat -
ments in severe traumatic brain injury is summarized in Table 9.1. In this summary, TABLE 9.1
Clinical Comparison of Treatments Using DMSO or Progesterone after
Severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in Humans
Lowers ICP Increases CPP Improves Clinical
Outcome Reduces
Mortality
DMSO (N = 42) Yes Yes Yes Yes
Progesterone (N = 80) No No Yes Yes
Note:  Progesterone is reported to impro ve clinical outcome and reduce mortality but has no effect on
ICP or CPP. DMSO is reported to lower both ICP and CPP, improve outcome, and reduce mortality.
See text for details.226 Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease
it is seen that although progesterone is reported to reduce mortality and neurologic
outcome, it does so without increasing CPP and, by inference, CBF. This is a curi -
ous twist because increasing CPP to optimize CBF delivery has become a stan -
dard method to lower the secondary injury pathologic cascade after traumatic brain injury.
128,129 The secondary damage cascade fundamentally involves the development
of ischemia, hypoxia, and neuronal energy dysfunction, which have become primary determinants of secondary brain injury outcome.
Consequently, considerable evidence now indicates that maintaining adequate
CBF will improve the delivery of oxygen and energy substrates that are lowered during the period of ischemia and hypoxia that follows a moderate-to-severe trau -
matic brain injury.
130–133 This clinical goal has become a standard of practice for
neurocritical care when using therapeutic interventions after brain trauma. It follows that managing CPP and CBF may have a beneficial effect in lowering ICP after brain injury and could also affect the molecular changes that promote Ca
2+ and Na+
cell influx, neuronal membrane instability, glutamate excitotoxicity, and mitochon-drial dysfunction that are known to progress after brain tissue damage
129,134,135 (see
Figures 8.3 and 9.4).
In contrast to progesterone therapy, DMSO improves CPP, CBF, and cerebro -
vascular resistance while increasing oxygen availability to ischemic tissue.75–78,101,113
These actions by DMSO may limit the damage caused by severe head injury,
intracranial hemorrhage, and vasospasm secondary to aneurysm rupture in human patients.
76,87,88,113 Moreover, the cell and molecular pathology resulting from brain
trauma is also targeted by DMSO and may help to explain the significant increase in survival and reduced morbidity following severe traumatic brain injury.
87,88
DMSO and progesterone are strong anti-inflammatory agents,136–139 but only
DMSO is reported to block glutamate excitotoxicity following brain tissue trauma and stabilize Na
+ and Ca2+ influx into nerve cells that can destabilize neuronal mem -
branes and cause cell death.101
Since clinical evidence indicates that both DMSO and progesterone treatment are
reported to successfully lower mortality and improve neurologic outcome following severe traumatic brain injury, it would seem reasonable to further compare these two drugs in multicenter RCTs to assess the value of each for a life-threatening condition that has no efficacious intervention at the present time. Such an RCT would establish the safety and efficacy of each compound and could provide the first effective treat -
ment available for brain and spinal cord insults.
Moreover, we cannot overstate that an RCT of DMSO and progesterone could
result in a major medical breakthrough in preventing mortality and the psychosocial burden suffered by traumatized patients and their caretakers. A drug that could limit the damage caused by brain trauma would also be cost-effective, in view of the bil -
lions of dollars expended globally on traumatic brain injury, especially for survivors with special needs and constant care.
However, on December 25, 2014, as this book went to press, two phase III multi -
center, double-blind clinical trials using progesterone were carried out on moderate to severe TBI patients.
101a,101b These trials demonstrated no significant clinical benefit
or functional improvement following progesterone administration when compared to placebo in the patients treated for TBI.

FOR ISCHEMIC STROKE
Stroke is the third leading cause of death and severe disability in the United States.
In the mid-1990s, great hope was created when tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as an IV agent in ischemic stroke.
140 This drug is a clot buster that works by catalyzing the
conversion of plasminogen to the clot-breaking plasmin. tPA is the only drug currently authorized by the FDA for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke.
Despite almost a decade of use after FDA approval, tPA is greatly underused and
it is reported that in the United States about 1%–7% of potentially eligible patients actually receive this therapy.
141,142 The major reasons for underusing tPA is the tight
3 h window of treatment required to ensure effectiveness in patients with ischemic stroke and, also, the fear of inducing cerebral hemorrhage. When one computes the delay time often involved in reaching a hospital following an acute ischemic stroke and the time required to rule out a hemorrhagic stroke with a CT scan, this 3 h win -
dow of treatment may be difficult to attain.
It is estimated that ischemic stroke strikes about 75% of people over the age of 55.
143
Elderly stroke patients are also more susceptible to neurologic disability and adverse events related to drug treatment following a cerebrovascular insult. Partly for these reasons, elderly patients are rarely included in large randomized clinical stroke trials involving investigational drug therapy.
144
The pathobiology associated with ischemic stroke is not unlike that seen in trau-
matic brain injury since it involves numerous

science when he wrote, “The sea is producing about as
much as the land, yet man is using only about 1% of his
food from his salt water environment.” Unfortunately,
man is more interested in the unknown darkness of outer
space than studying and protecting our vast seas!
Man Cannot Live W ithout W ater
Your existence on earth depends on W ATER! Please
do not take it for granted! This book gives you an
education on the type, amount and value of the perfect
water to drink that will work to keep you in good health.
Distilled water helps you ever y day to enjoy a mor e vital,
joyous and prolonged life on our precious earth!
The Five Big Health Builders
• Air • Water • Sunshine • Food • Exer cise
Next to oxygen, water is the most vitally important
substance in the body. The
adult body is roughly 70%
water and excretes water
daily through the urine,
defecation, perspiration and
breathing. The internal
temperature of the body is
controlled with water. 6
The average body is 98.6o,
if it rises above this normal
temperature we become feverish. If it falls below, we are
physically under par. Water makes up 83% of the blood
in the body and nearly 98% of intestinal, gastric, salivar y
and pancreatic juices. Most older people become
dehydrated and literally dr y up due to insuf ficient water
intake. Their skin and hands look par ched, withered,
dry and old. Look at the wrinkles on their foreheads
and around their eyes. A cur tain of dr y flesh hangs over
their eyes. Other unhealthy results and danger signs of
dehydration are constipat ion, which affects millions,
and also burning, irritating urin ation. Remember, at
least 8 large glasses of distilled water daily works miracles!
Salt (Inorganic Sodium) is a Health W recker
Another side of water imbalance is due to excessive
use of inorganic sodium chloride (salt) and salty foods,
which leads to waterlogged humans. Y ou often see young
children 7 to 10 years and older who are so waterlogged
that they have grotesque, bloated and prematurely
old looking bodies. Just compare them to the adults
with their bloated and puffed-up faces, arms, bellies,
legs, ankles and feet. Don’ t let this happen to you!
Why the Body Needs Pure W ater
The amount of water a body needs depends on
temperatur e, climate, one’ s activities and health – 8
glasses is average. When you drink a glass of water it
goes straight to your stomach. Part of the water is
absorbed directly into your bloodstream through the
walls of your stomach and some of the remainder goes
to your intestines to keep the food you eat in a liquid
state while it is being absorbed; this water is later
absorbed directly into the blood.
Drinking the right kind of water is one of your best
natural protections against all kinds of virus infections
such as influenza, pneumonia, whooping cough, measles
and other infectious diseases. Doctors advise bed-rest
and plenty of water for the flu. When the body’ s tissues
and cells are kept well-supplied with ample water, they
can fight viral attacks mor e efficiently. If the body’ s cells
are water-star ved, they become shriveled-up, par ched
and dr y, making it easy for viruses and diseases to attack.
Always bear in mind the important functions of the
right kind of water in your body. Water is a vital
component of all body fluids, tissues, cells, lymph, blood
and glandular secr etions. W ater holds all nutritive factors
in solution and acts as a transportation medium to the
various parts of the body for these substances. The
mucous membranes need plenty of water to keep them
soft and free from friction on their delicate surfaces.
7
Pure distilled water is truly God’s greatest gift to us,
a source of life and health. – Paul C. Bragg 8 Liquid is necessar y for the pr oper digestion of food! The
stomach acts as a powerful churn to break down food
into tiny particles. Remember to chew your food
thoroughly to help your stomach, for it has no teeth!
Water Flushes T oxins Out of the Body
One of the most important functions of water is to
flush the toxins and salt fr om the body. Unfortunately,
people the world over now consume large amounts of
salt. But, from centuries ago to the present day, there
are still many countries that have never known what
salt is and whose people are still healthy and happy.
Japanese are known a s the world’ s highest consumers
of table salt (inorganic salt  – sodium chloride) and they
have the highest blood pressure. A Japanese farmer who
lives to 60 eats 2 ounces of salt daily and filters up to
2,737.5 pounds or 1.36 tons of salt through his kidneys in
his lifetime! Heavy salt intake hastens prem ature death!
Americans are not far behind the Japanese in the
consumption of salt. Not only do Americans add plenty
of salt to their foods, they also eat large amounts of ham,
bacon, hot dogs, luncheon meats, corned beef, potato
chips, salted nuts and many other foods with high
concentrations of salt. No wonder heart disease is the
No. 1 killer in America! Even people in their 30s and 40s
suffer from high blood pressure, kidney trouble, arthritis
and the greatest of all killers – arteriosclerosis – the
clogging of the arteries, veins and blood vessels! The
proper amount and right kind of water helps to keep
cholesterol levels down. W ater is a gr eat flushing agent!
The right kind of water is also Mother Natur e’s
greatest beauty and health tonic! In our long careers as
health and fitness advisors to Hollywood’ s famous stars
of movies and TV, we have found that when we can
persuade the stars to use the correct liquids they retain
a more youthful face and figure longer than people who
drink ordinar y tap water. Pure distilled water helps keep
the body’ s cells healthier and pr events dehydration. The
face and neck remain more free of age lines and wrinkles,
while the entire body retains its youthfulness longer! Be a Bragg Health Crusader, copy and share with family, friends, etc.

The amount of water in the human body, averaging 70%, varies considerably
and even from one part of the body to another area (illustration on right).
A lean man may hold 70% of his weight in body water, while a woman –
because of her larger proportion of water-poor fatty tissues – may be only
52% water. The lowering of the water content in the blood is what triggers
the hypothalamus, the brain’s thirst center, to send out its urgent demand

10 Water is Important to Superb Health
People who ingest a sufficient amount of the right
kinds of liquids (distilled water, fresh organic fruits and
vegetables and their juices) have better health and body
functioning and cir culation overall, which are most
important to Super Health and Long Life.
You have 15billion power ful brain cells which are 75%
water. We strongly believe the right kind of water in
sufficient amounts helps improve your mind and brain
power and makes you think better and more accurately!
We also think that the excessively ner vous and/or
mentally upset person is so obsessed with his own
worries and “hang-ups” that he just forgets to drink
sufficient pure water. Instead, he dopes himself with
alcohol, tea, coffee, diet cola and soft drinks which only
complicate his ner vous condition by introducing
burning, toxic acid into his stomach with no food or
pure water to dilute it. So on top of his nervousness and
depression, he suffers from heartburn, sour acid stomach,
gas, bloating, ener vation and low ener gy. In place of
sufficient pure water, he again dopes up on stimulants,
coffee, soft drinks, cigarettes, aspirin, antacids, etc.
Remember that the nerves need the correct amount
of water to function properly
