 of in the Universe that has
direction are the electrical properties of things, in general. The
Field Theory suggested that it should be possible to determ ine
the pol arity and direction of the flow of energy transformations
in the living system. The organism, as a whole, depends on such
directives for its continued existence; so also does atypical
growth. Energy, however, is a basic requirem ent, indifferent to the
direction in which it flows. It is important, therefore, to realize
that in the development of growth and development of the
organism there are forces in addition to the undirected properties
of chemical changes, factors which give direction to the flow of
energy. It cannot be denied that morphogenesis is directed. This is true
of the whole organism and also of its constituent parts. Moreover,
the very direction of developm ent implies a necessary relation
ship between the units of which the system is composed, a re
lationship which imparts to the organism that quality which
makes the whole greater than the Sllm of its parts. Conside rations such as these led to an examination of the
electrical properties of cancer-susceptible mic e. The experiments
v. ere designed to determine whether or not the polarity vectors
were altered in atypical growth. 58 THE FEMALE FIELD
Through the courtesy of Dr. L. C. Strong and Dr. G. M. Smith,
a considerable number of mice from the colonies of Dr. Strong,
were studied weekly. There were four groups of such mice:
A. normal control, B. a strain of mice known to have a high in
cidence of mammary cancer occurring spontaneously, C. a strain
of mice prone to atypical growth following the administration of
carcinogens, and D. a number of mice from a strain which readily
accepted implanted malignant tissue. Comparison of the groups made it clear that statistically the
control group showed a different electrical pattern from that
found in the animals with spontaneous breast cancer, malignancy
produced by carcinogens, or the atypical growth of transplants. There were also statistically significant differences between spon
taneous carcinogenics and the transplanted growth. While day
by-day variations in both magnitude and polarity occurred there
was sufficient variability to make it difficult to show a direct ane
ta-one relationship for any individual animal. Clearly enough,
there are other factors in the presence of atypical growth re
sponsible for the variability. To carry out an experiment it is necessary to control conditions
of food, water, and temperature. A few preliminary experiments
indicated that the individual variability could be reduced sig
nificantly. All the evidence so far collected makes it necessary to
study them under more controlled laboratory conditions. Through the generous cooperation of Dr. H. S. N. Greene,
some three hundred mice were intensively studied following
the implantation in the breast region of the C38 strain of mice. The implantations were made by Dr. Greene in the right axilla. They were from malignant tissue labelled 4578B-PXB-PX and
MTH. In addition, foetal and visceral implants were made from
normal animals. Measurements were made between the right axilla and the left
axilla in unanaesthetized mice. The common reference point for
the potential differences between the axillae was the placement of
an electrode in the mouth of the animal. Since the left side of
the animal was not involved in implantation, it served to some
extent as a control for the operated side. The results of the experiment were surprisingly consistent. 59 THE FEMALE FIEL D
Twenty-four to twenty-eight hours after the implantation
changes were to be observed in the voltage gradients. This differ
ence increased steadily and quite smoothly to reach a maximum
of approximately five millivolts on or about the eleventh day,
following which it decreased. In the animals with the foetal implant representing, therefore,
a rapidly growing mass of embryonic tissue, the difference began
to appear a little later, and reached a peak on approximately the
sixth day, following which the potential difference dropped to
zero and reversed its polarity until the end of the experiment. In the slow-growing tumours potential differences began to
emerge on the third or fourth day but reached their maximum
of approximately three millivolts on the tenth or eleventh day. From there, until the end of the experiment, the differences in
potential fell steadily to zero. The control, and those without
growth, showed a variable between the two sides of less than a
millivolt for the entire experiment. In all of these measurements,
the axilla containing the implanted foreign material was negative
to the opposite axillary region. It is cIear from these findings that the crest of atypical growth
in the host organism produced measurable and reproducible
electro-metric correlates. The rapidly growing tumours devel
oped higher potentials more quickly than the slow-growing im
plant. The foetal tissue started off rather promptly but early
reached an electro-metric peak and thereafter declined to zero,
subsequen tly to appear as a polar reversal which, in turn, re
turned to zero. The slow-growing implants started late but ex
hibited an electro-metric curve paralleling the essential slope
of the rapidly growing tumours, but reached their lower maxi
mum at approximately the same time as the rapidly growing
tumours. These experiments on mice, of course, offered valuable con
firmation of our findings that atypical voltage-gradients in the
fields of women are associated with malignancy. 60 CH APTER FOUR
The Ubiquitous Field
1
While we were carrying out experiments on men and women we
were also exploring the electro-dynamic fields in other forms of
life because we wanted to assure ourselves that these fields are
a universal property of all living forms and are not confined to the
higher forms of life. We explored the fields of a frog's eggs-as mentioned in the
first chapter-not only to satisfy ourselves that something so
small and relatively simple possessed a field but also to find sup
port for our theory that the field controls the growth and de
velopment of the form. Using micro-pipettes filled with salt solution and connected to
the voltmeter we found different voltage gradients across differ
ent axes of the eggs. We marked the axis of the largest voltage
gradient with spots of Nile blue sulphate and later found, as the
eggs developed, that the frog's nervous system always grew along
the axis with the highest voltage gradient. This was an indication
that the field is primary-the matrix that shapes the living form. Next we looked for a living system with some unquestioned
design or pattern, the field of which could be examined through
growth and developm ent. The nervous system of a vertebrate
offers a pattern which can be analysed and which, we hoped,
would yield some clues to the nature of the forces or laws which
determine the pattern. Our choice fell on salamanders for our experimental animals
because they are easily obtained and can be observed from the
egg stage up to adult form; and the changes in the form as it
grows and develops can be observed and described with great
accuracy. 61 THE UBIQUI TOUS FIELD
Amphibia, too, are admirably suited to the experimental
analysis of the growth and development of the nervous system. They are vertebrates and, therefore, have a head and tail axis,
a bilateral symmetry, a right side and a left side, a dorsal and
ventral side. This is the most elementary aspect of the pattern
of organization of the vertebrate nervous system. Moreover, by using microsurgical methods, it is possible to
perform operations on the nervous system, to remove parts of
it and to observe the consequences to its development. Pieces
can be transplanted from one part of the nervous system to an
other in order to examine the results. Finally, salamanders are easily raised in the laboratory, with
no serious problems of care. No anaesthe tics are necessary and
they are abundant in the spring of the year. We were reinforced in our choice of salamanders by the evid
ence, slowly increasing over the years, that they possess certain
electrical properties. We started with numerous experiments on the developing
embryos of salamanders, because an analysis of the embryology
of the nervous system promised data to support our Field Theory. In the first place, as the embryo is an aquatic animal, it was
necessary to determine whether or not there were any significant
electro-metrics of the embryo. Potential measurements were
made, therefore, in the embryo from a point in the cephalic
region, and another in the caudal region. These were studied over
periods of time and showed characteristic changes with the
growth and differentiating of the embryo itself. It soon became clear that there is an electro-metric correlate of
the longitudinal axis of the salamander nervous system. There
is also a bilateral symmetry between the right side and the left
side of the axis, as might be expected from everything else we
know about the developing organism. To run down this problem a little further, measurements were
made of the unfertilized egg of a salamander, using the animal
62 THE UBIQUITOUS FIELD
pole as a reference point, and a moving electrode around the
equator of the egg in the four quadrants of the development. It is
well known, of course, that the salamander egg at this stage is a
sphere, showing


 you to contemplate and understand
as you go through your day:
On the calibrated Map of Consciousness®, from 1 to 1,000, level 200
is the critical level. Above 200 is that which is pro-life, supports life, and that which is
true. Below 200 is that which is not true, does not support life;
everything that is venomous, hateful, selfish, greedy, and destructive to
others. The Map of Consciousness®, is not showing a duality of good and evil. There are gradations of Love. What we call evil is merely totally
unloving. There is only one variable. The only variable between light and
darkness is there is only light. There isn’ t light and darkness. Light is
either there, or it’ s not there. The light can be very bright, or it can be
very, very dim. When it gets very, very dim, we say it’ s darkness. Certain bits of information have an immense value. Just to have heard
it, to get it, jumps you ahead enormously. Causality is a major roadblock because it blocks the awareness of the
Presence of God, and the purpose of consciousness work is to discover
the Presence of God within.To see through the illusion of causality, there’ s nothing causing
anything out there. Nothing is causing anything else. What you see are
conditions. What holds up spiritual progress is resistance. The main resistance is
the narcissistic core of the ego and its belief in its own sovereignty. Becoming enlightened is really overcoming the claim and the
domination of the ego to maintain its sovereignty. How do you surrender the ego? First, contextualize what ego really is,
that it’ s not evil and that it’ s the persistence of the animal; but
persistence of the animal deters one’ s spiritual evolution and therefore,
the object is to transcend it. The best way to transcend it is to describe
in some detail the actual mechanisms of the ego. For example, the
ego’s attraction and addiction is to the juice it gets out of suf fering and
being mistreated. Radical truth means you’ve got to take the mask of f everything and be
willing to see it for what it is, and now handle it from the viewpoint of
emotional honesty. The way to reach enlightenment is quite simple. First, one chooses it. The subjective reality about which we’re speaking, is in the split
instant of now, the split instant of now is the source of the joy of your
own existence. Because of your Love of God your consciousness grows. As your
consciousness grows, it benefits all of mankind. Every living entity on
this planet benefits from every single degree that your consciousness
advances. Dr. Hawkins often told us that through the repetition of the information

        Yes, I think that’ s specifically what we were saying this morning. The
soul automatically, because of what it has become, is like a cork in water
and automatically gravitates in the field of consciousness to that with which
it identifies. And therefore, destiny is ultimately perfect. “That’ s correct:
resist” (T rue). That’ s correct, yep. Automatically. So, the soul automatically
gravitates to what it’ s attracted to, to that with which it is compatible. Just
like the dog ran to love—if I hated dogs, I don’ t know, he might have
shrunk of f, or he might have tried. I don’ t know what he would have
done. I should ask him. OceanofPDF. comCHAPTER 10
Aim for the Highest Level of
Compassion
Two hundred is the dividing line between force and power; 540—is that the
difference between ego and one’ s higher calling. Well, don’ t forget, these
points are arbitrary—200 was not arbitrary; the calling it 200 was arbitrary. It was obvious that the world could be divided into that which makes you
go strong and that which makes you go weak. There is an interesting book called Red W orld/Gr een W orld by a lady
named Mar garet Chaney, and she said that there’ s Red people and Green
people, and there’ s Red foods and Green foods. Well, she was just using
that as a way of speaking. She’ s saying that people divide up into those
which react positively to certain kinds of food and those which react
negatively, and she grouped out two groups. There are the Red people—
they respond with kinesiology positively to the following foods, and there’ s
the Green people, and they respond positively to the following foods and
they react negatively to the other foods. So her thesis was that Green people
will get sick if they

younger	person,	the	“world”	is	often	represented	by	whatever	adult	he	or	she
is	speaking	to	at	the	time. Celebration	isn’t	passive;	it’s	an	active	energy	mover. I’ve	heard	young
people	denigrate	something	I	know	in	their	hearts	represents	a	dream	come
true,	saying	something	like,	“Oh,	it’s	not	that	big	a	deal. ”	But	if	I	say	with
determination,	“Oh,
yes

you’re	cried	enough	tears,	you	know	how	blessed	it	is	to	have	something	to

ONCE
	I
WAS	RIDING	ON	A	TRAIN	IN	ENGLAND
,	having	just	left	my	daughter	at	a	high
school	program	in	Oxford. Before	I	left,	she	showed	me	her	favorite	spots
from	her	trip	there	the	summer	before:	the	crêperie	where	she	and	her	friends
stayed	up	late	at	night	to	discuss	capitalism	and	Marxism
(“Yes,	darling,	your
mother	was	young	once,	too—I	have
so
	been	there	and	done	that. ”);	the
Christ	Church	rebuilt	by	Henry	VIII	in	1532	(my	daughter	and	I	have	an
ongoing	conversation	about	Anne	Boleyn,	in	which	I	insist	that	whichever
way	you	view	it,	beheading
is
	spousal	abuse);	and	our	conversations	that
morning	about	philosophy	and	love	were	mixed	with	my	reminders	to	do
things	like	remember	to	floss. As	I	rode	back	to	London,	I	cried	a	bit. My	little	baby	wasn’t	a	baby
anymore. She’s	not	even	a	little	girl	anymore. She’s	in	that	age	group	Louisa
May	Alcott	so	exquisitely	termed	“little	women. ”	Soon	enough,	“Mommy,
may	I. ”	will	disappear	completely,	replaced	more	often,	I	suppose,	by	“Mom,
please	send	money. ”
This	transitional	time	is	as	profound	for	me	as	it	is	for	her. I’ve	been	good
at	some	aspects	of	mothering,	average	at	others,	and	probably	rotten	at	some. I’ve	never	baked	a	brownie	in	my	life. I	keep	buying	cookbooks,	but	I	just
read	them	and	then	say,	“Nah. ”	Yet	we	all	have	our	gifts,	and	the	ones	I	do
have,	I’m	eager	to	pass	on	to	her. Our	children	are	more	than	our	charges;	once	past	puberty,	they	should	be
our	students	in	life’s	deeper	lessons,	our	apprentices	at	living	life	well. I	don’t
want	my	daughter	to	feel	that	she	has	to	leave	my	side	in	order	to	learn
anything
truly
	important. I	want	to	be	more	than	the
cleavage
	police,	for
God’s	sake. I	want	to	be	her	mystical	mentor. Raising	children	is	an	advanced	spiritual	practice. Holding	them	close	when
you’re	all	the	world	to	them	is	sometimes	emotionally	overwhelming;	letting
them	go	when	they’re	ready	to	move	away	from	you	is	overwhelming	as	well. And	keeping	the	lines	of	communication	open	is	often	much	easier	said	than
done. It’s	very	different	than	it	was	when	they	were	just	cute	little	kids	in	their
cute	little	outfits	playing	on	cute	little	playdates. I	see	people	with	adorablebabies,	blissfully	unaware	that	the	day	will	come	when	they’re	so	not	in
control,	and	I	think,
Oh,	honey,	you	wait. But	I	say	nothing. I	just	smile. Let
them	enjoy	this	while	it	lasts. Sooner	than	they	think,	they’ll	lose	the
unconditional	adoration	to	which	they’ve	become	accustomed. Every	parent	meets	the	moment	when	a	look	in	their	child’s	eyes	says,
“Now	I	get	it. I’ve	figured	you	out. ”	They’ll	have	to	learn	to	respect	the
unfolding	life	of	a	child	whose	ultimate	destiny	is	his	or	hers	alone. A	fiery
life	force	moves	from	us	into	our	children	at	a	certain	point,	and	it’s	only
when	we	allow	this	to	happen	that	a	new	fire	begins	to	burn	within	us. We
can’t	hold	on	to	the	fire	that	used	to	be	ours	when	it	no	longer	is. We	have	to
let	go	and	watch	with	mixed	emotions	as	it	ignites	within	our	sons	and
daughters. Still,	that	doesn’t	mean	that	they	gain	something	but	we	lose. On	that	day,
as	I	rode	away	from	Oxford,	I	was	crying	but	I	was	smiling	as	well. My
daughter	was	free	now	in	that	way	that	only	the	young	can	be	free. But	I	was
free,	too,	in	a	way	only	someone	who	has	raised	his	or	her	children	to	a
certain	age	and	watched	them	grow	up	can	be. She
and
	I	had	earned	new
wings. We	both	need	to	go	on	to	the	next	stage	of	our	lives	and	enter	a	new	set	of
magic	years. Everyone	must	follow	the	trajectory	of	his	or	her	own	soul
growth. On	the	one	hand,	I	can’t	imagine	how	I’ll	feel	when	I	don’t	get	to
look	at	the	clock	at	3:15	in	the	afternoon	and	say	excitedly,	“Oh,	she’ll	be
home	soon. ”	(There’s	such	a	fantastic	way	teenagers	slam	the	door	behind
them	when	they	come	home	from	school,	bellowing	“I’m	home. ”	with	such
confidence	that	it’s	the	biggest	news	anybody’s	going	to	hear	all	day. ) On	the
other	hand,	I	know	there	will	be	new	experiences	in	the	future	when	we’re	no
longer	based	in	the	same	city,	different	from	the	ones	we	have	now	but	just	as
wonderful. Only	when	you	allow	someone	else	to	grow	do	you	get	to	grow,	too. And
sometimes,	of	course,	that	means	they	grow	away	from	you. Counterintuitively,	the	more	you	allow	people	to	take	the	distance	they	need,
the	closer	your	bond	with	them	becomes. The	more	I	let	my	daughter	go,	the
more	she	lets	me	in. I	will	never	forget	when	my	little	girl	was	so	tiny	that	I	propped	her	up
between	pillows	on	my	bed	as	I	sat	next	to	her	and	wrote. I	think	of	that	often
when	she’s	lying	across	the	same	bed	now,	chattering	on


 qUickly suppressed that we do not even
realize it was there.As the years go by, we have accu
mulated energy of this fear. The energy behind this
fear increases in pressure, and when it reaches a cer
tain point, it is as though a needle has reached a red
line on the dial, and the pressure of this fearfulness
now begins to express itself. It spills out and over into 274 HEALING AND RECOVERY
our experience and begins to color it. If we do not
examine it, we think that this fear is coming from the
world, and we blame the world for it.We think that it
is a fearful experience happening out there. Little do
we realize that it is merely our own fearfulness that is
being projected out into the world. Then we own this source of the fear, which is our
own accumulated fearfulness. We start to welcome it
and look forward to the opportunity to allow this
fearfulness to run out.The basic release from fear is by
surrender at great depth.The sensations and the inner
experience of fear itself remain the same, no matter
what we think we fear. If somebody holds a shotgun
to our heart and says, "Give me all your money," what
are we going to experience? We are going to experi
ence the dry mouth, weakness in the knees, and that
old, familiar flip-floppy feeling in the stomach. If an
enemy tank rolls up to our house, knocks it over,
rotates the gun barrel, and points it right at our fore
head, what are we going to experience? The same
thing happens if somebody holds a mouse over our
head.We are going to experience a dry mouth, queasi
ness in our stomach, cramps in our intestines, and that
shaky feeling in our muscles. All we ever have to handle is those sensations, and
with experiencing this technique, we will learn that
all we ever have to handle is what we are experienc
ing within consciousness itself, whether it is localized
within the body or elsewhere. After meditation and
working with this technique, we will notice that this
experience is actually happening in a general and dif
fuse everywhereness. The phenomena of the queasy WORRY, FEAR, AND ANXIETY 275
muscles, the flip-flop in the stomach, and the dry
mouth are being experienced in a vague, diffuse
everywhereness. We just allow the experience to be
present without resisting it. Because we are focused
on that, the fear begins to diminish because we are no
longer paying attention to the thoughts. The thoughts
themselves are engendering further fear. Ifwe are very busy with this technique of just let
ting go of resisting the fear, we are now focused on
the energy field itself. Behind this fearfulness is an
energy, and we are letting go of resisting the progres
sive release and discharge of that energy. By doing
this, we lose the fear of fear. It is no longer an awe
some terror that awakens us in the middle of the
night. It is nothing but an inner emotional experi
ence, the sensations of which can be easily handled. We can ask ourselves, "Truly, can I handle a dry
mouth? Of course, I can." Another technique to eliminate the negative emo
tions is to let go oftheir associated mental images that
attract and amplify associated emotions. Just refuse
the image and cancel the temptation to indulge in it. While doing research and experimenting with this
particular technique, I had an experience that demon
strates one of the principles being described. I had
had a lifetime fear ofheights which was so severe that
when I went to visit the Grand Canyon for the first
time, I literally could not walk within one hundred
feet of the edge. It created that panicky feeling even
when I saw somebody else get near the edge. I was
using this technique whenever I could and enjoying
the progress I was making with it, but I had never got276 HEALING AND RECOVERY
ten around to working on my fear of heights. I had
been working on fear from all its other origins within
my experience. The next time I went back to the
Grand Canyon about two years later, much to my
amazement, I could walk up to within about twenty
feet of the edge before the tight feeling occurred in
the stomach again. I continued to utilize this tech
nique over the next year or two and again went back
to revisit the Canyon. Much to my surprise, I could
walk right up to the very edge. Subsequently, I later
went up in a hot air balloon without any anxiety. I was
so pleased at this demonstration of the principle that
what I had been releasing was the accumulated pres
sure and energy of all that fear from a lifetime. Similar
to a pressure tank, as it released itself, there was less
and less to spill over into life experiences. The letting go of resisting is so effective because
resistance traps us into a certain state of conscious
ness; resistance is within. Fear is a negative energy
that calibrates at 100, and traps us in the field.We can
not get beyond it so we become the victim of our
own fears unless we own that we are the source of
them.As long as we rationalize and say that the source
of fear is 'out there', we cannot overcome it. Once we
begin to own that we are the experiencer, that we are
the one who sets up the way in which we experience
things, then we become the one who is master of the
situation. Our self-esteem becomes affected. We are
no longer the one who is the victim or subject to fear. We are something other than the fear. Fear is nothing
but an experience in consciousness, and we no longer
have to give it reality by labeling it as a fear of someWORRY, FEAR, AND ANXIETY 277
thing, which can be an endless process. Fearfulness is attached to everything in the world
by fearful people. Changing the world will not handle
it.A person can be terribly afraid in a very safe situa
tion and not at all afraid in a situation that is hypothet
ically very dangerous. For example, a person is being
mugged, which is one thing, and then there is the fear
of being mugged, which is something else.The fear of
being mugged is not the same as actually being
mugged. It is quite possible to have very unfortunate
circumstances occur in one's life and not experience
fear at all. In fact, one might even experience that one
is merely the witness of the phenomenon. Such a thing happened to me when I came face to
face with a very large rattlesnake on top of a nearby
mountain. As I was about to step into a cabin, a giant
rattlesnake was coiled up right in front of the door
way, and as I lifted my foot to step over him, his head
snapped back, his tongue flickered out, and he was
poised to strike me. In that instant, there was a flash
of fearful thought, and then the thought that I could
get a club and hit it, or I could run, or I could yell for
help. I did not have a gun, but somebody might shoot
it. All the self-protective thoughts that social con
sciousness had programmed me with were present. Happily, and luckily for me or I would not be
telling about this, I had learned this technique. I
instantly realized that my life frankly depended on my
utilization of it, so I automatically went into this exact
technique. I automatically let go of wanting to do any
thing about the fear, of wanting to handle or change
anything about it. Instead, I went into my inner Self 278 HEALING AND RECOVERY
and just allowed the inner experience to release itself
without any resistance. I welcomed even more of it
because somehow, when we really get into the expe
rience of our own inner consciousness, we see that
our survival depends on this and has all along. I saw
that my survival really depended on the excellence
with which I let go, surrendered to God, and released
and let go of resisting the experience. As I did, the
fearful thoughts. instantly disappeared, and I felt a pro
found state of peace settle on both the snake and me. It was as ifI had become the witness-not the wit
ness confined to this body, but the witness in con
sciousness, which seemed to have no dimension. This
formless dimension was then the experiencer of the
presence of a state of peacefulness. This profound
state was of such power that it prevailed over the
consciousness of both the snake and the personality
of this person telling you about this.The snake looked
at me with interest, probably not having seen a
human being in his whole life, much less a foot away,
and I looked at the rattlesnake with great curiosity
and thought of him as a brother.The two of us were
included in the oneness of this space of our own
beingness together in a state of extreme intimacy. Out
of it came a sort of inner joyfulness, and I felt love for

ental X-ray doesn’t show the bone damage; only the new ‘panoramic’ dental X-rays are able to
do that. The only solution is to remove the offending tooth and clear infectious material from the
cavitation, which allows the hollowed-out bone to heal. If a dentist discovers an abscess at the tip of the root of a tooth, he or she will urge the patient
to have a root canal treatment done. DO NOT AGREE. The filling used in the canal eventually
shrinks a tiny bit, allowing germs and viruses to enter via the canules, which become conduits for
the invaders, causing much trouble. The dentist will assure you that the filling material currently
used in the root canal doesn’t shrink. However, even if this were true, there remains the problem Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.comof the dead tooth, the germ-filled canules, and a constant focus of infection active within the
organism. So, rather than having the root canal treated, regretfully that tooth has to be extracted. Beside root canals there are many other dental problems, such as receding gums, gum
infections, cavities, etc., that are easily detected and corrected. These should be cleared, so that no
oral infections can interfere with the healing process. Once we have understood the unbreakable
unity of the organism, it becomes clear how an unresolved and ignored dental problem can cause
serious damage in some other part of the body. Mercury fillings should never be used. There is much information and research material
proving the damage caused by releasing small amounts of mercury into the system by chewing,
drinking, swallowing. These small but continuously released amounts of what is a potent nerve
toxin are also absorbed by the lungs and the linings of the digestive system into the bloodstream,
leading to severe harm. Despite the mass of scientific research material confirming this risk, some
dentists and the American Dental Association (ADA) vociferously claim that mercury is perfectly
safe once installed in the tooth. It is not. These days there are various minimally toxic inert filling
materials available to deal with cavities. Crowns are another problem. A crown must never be fitted over a mercury filling, nor should
gold be used if there is any mercury—also known as silver amalgam—present in other parts of
the mouth. Between those two metals a tiny mild electric current is generated, which is capable
of interfering with the enzymes and other factors of pre-digestion that are active in the mouth. If
a crown is necessary, it should be made from other materials, such as plastic or porcelain. Dental anesthesia needs to be handled with care. When the body is well detoxified, it becomes
more sensitive to any toxins, including anesthesia used by dentists to overcome the pain of dental
work. It is extremely important that a Gerson patient should tell his/her dentist the following,
prior to the use of anesthesia drugs:
  •  To use no more than one third to one half of the normal dose,
  •  To use no epinephrine in compounding the drug,
  •  To start the treatment immediately (the effect wears off quickly.) Upon returning from the dentist’s office, the patient should take a coffee enema, whether or
not one is scheduled for that time. Any additional pain is likely to be cleared by another coffee
enema. NOTE: If the dentist avises the patient to take a dose of antibiotics, this must not be refused. A dental infection can be very serious and even become life-threatening. Case Histories: We have several patient reports of dramatic improvements after the removal
of root canal treated teeth. One breast cancer patient using the Gerson Therapy was making slow
progress. When her husband began to suspect some dental problem slowing down the healing Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.comprocess, he had her examined by a dentist. Indeed, a cavitation was found and cleared, and the
infected tooth removed. Subsequently the remaining breast tumor tissue was rapidly absorbed,
she recovered and remained well for many years. In another case a young woman, married to an athlete and hoping for children, conceived
readily but suffered three miscarriages in a row. A full examination of her teeth disclosed a far
advanced cavitation in her jawbone. When the offending tooth was extracted and the infection in
her jawbone was cleaned up, shortly afterwards she had three normal pregnancies. A father wrote to us to say that he was impressed by the report, published in our Newsletter,
on the damage caused by root canal treated teeth. It caused him to arrange a dental examination
for his son who had been suffering from schizophrenia for several years, without being helped by
the drug treatment he had received. When the young man’s teeth were checked and a root canal
filled tooth was removed, he gradually recovered and needed no further medication. Fibromyalgia
This chronic condition is another eloquent example of the many kinds of ill-health caused
by the toxic condition of the body. Fibromyalgia causes severe chronic pain in muscles and
soft tissues surrounding joints. Efforts to control it with anti-inflammatories, including cortico-
steroids, have not been helpful, nor has any effective treatment been found for it so far. Pain
relieving drugs are used to help the patients sleep. According to the conservative estimate of the National Fibromyalgia Research Association,
6 million people in the U.S. suffer from this disease. In our experience, fibromyalgia is basically a toxic condition, caused by the combined impact
of polluted air and water, poisonous chemical residues in agricultural produce, and food additives
used in processed foods. There comes a point where the body can no longer excrete these harmful
substances; in order not to overload the liver and to keep the toxins ( enzyme inhibitors)  from
interfering with the functions of the essential organs, it releases them into the muscles and soft
tissues. Once there, the toxic irritants cause pain, which eventually becomes almost unbearable. Like all conditions resulting from a high degree of toxicity in the body, fibromyalgia yields
very promptly to the organic, vegetarian, toxin-free diet of the Gerson Therapy, combined with
intensive detoxification via the coffee enemas. We have seen some cases in which it took only a
few days to ease and then banish the pain, enabling the patient to resume normal activity. In more
advanced cases, aggravated by the use of many pain relieving drugs, and also with bedridden
patients, it takes possibly several weeks to obtain lasting pain relief and healing. We recall with wry amusement the experience of a seriously ill, mostly bedridden lady, who
arrived at the Mexican Gerson clinic from Germany. She had suffered from fibromyalgia for Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.comseveral years and had eventually found the physician who was regarded as the top authority of
that condition. However, he himself was suffering from an advanced case of fibromyalgia and
was unable to help her. On the contrary: on one occasion, when she called him after a particularly
painful, miserable night, he replied to her complaint by saying, “Y ou are telling me!”
Part III
It must be remembered that despite its great healing potential in so many areas of ill health,
the Gerson Therapy is no panacea, and that there are conditions in which it can heal only partially
or not at all. There are sound reasons why the high-powered twin Gerson methods of hyper-
alimentation and detoxification don’t work under some circumstances, and in this chapter we set
them out briefly in two sections. Diseases Difficult to Cure with the Gerson Therapy:
Brain Cancer:  We have seen total long-term recoveries of brain cancer cases—but also
failures. The problem is not the cancer itself, but the location of the tumor. In the course of a
healing reaction the body almost always produces an inflammation, which in itself is desirable,
since inflammation fluid usually destroys tumor tissue. However, it also causes swelling in regular
tissue. But a brain tumor is enclosed within the skull, where there is no room to accommodate  the
swelling.. Instead, the ‘healing inflammation’ with its swelling causes serious pressure, which is
likely to bring on seizures. These have to be handled carefully, reducing the swelling to decrease
the seizure activity—thus blocking the healing process! It is hard to find a middle way between
allowing inflammation, yet relieving severe headaches and seizures. Understandably the dilemma
also worries the patient. There have been several who gave up on the Gerson Therapy and returned
to orthodox treatment. Bone Metastases:   Certain cancers can be counted on to produce metastases ( spreading of
malignancy)  into specific tissues. Thus a majority of prostate and breast cancers, if they spread,
are found to have migrated to the bone(s). Bone tissue is difficult to heal. While a regular tissue lesion, sewed up, can be relied on to
heal within


never procreates the weak, it eliminates it. Many proteins (like viruses, etc.) are the stimulus for this mechanism that allows the body to eliminate these
weaknesses, so that it can replace the weak cells with the strong. The problem for the cells is that the typical fuels and building materials—
the foods that most people are consuming—can no longer support a refined
level of consciousness or awareness. Most of the food we eat today is very
low in energy and vibration or consciousness, which lowers the cell’s energy
and thus the body’s overall energy, thereby creating disease and death. This
low-energy lifestyle also lowers human awareness in general, which is why
we have so much hate, gossip and deceit instead of love. The role of parasites in disease processes should also be mentioned here. (See
Parasites Good or Bad? Module 5.2
.) Even though parasites are
secondary causes of disease, they are contributing factors to the
consciousness and vibration of a cell, thus affecting its DNA memory. Human stupidity in introducing live or even dead pathogens (parasites) into
toxic bodies via the “vaccination” has led to a landslide of genetically
weakened and mutated cells. (For a more complete discussion of vaccinations
see Chapter Four,
Toxic Habits.) Many “diseases” are created or inspired by
vaccinations, including ADD, AIDS, and most importantly, cancer. We have
allowed science to hurt, maim, or kill us, and then we have become
conditioned by false propaganda that indicates that we are to blame, not
science. Scientists play Russian roulette with human lives, all in the name of
“progress” and under the guise of protecting us. We must move past these
dark medical and chemical times where so much destruction of the species
has taken place. THE SIMPLE SOLUTION

It is time to awaken and get back to simplicity and the ways of God and
nature. Nature has
supplied us with all the herbs and the foods we need to
clean, rebuild, and revitalize our physical and spiritual bodies. Health is very simple: eat within the scope of your species; eat your
foods fresh, ripe, raw and unprocessed, as all other animals do; rest and getplenty of sunshine; clean your body out of all the toxins, including chemicals,
heavy metals, antibiotics, excessive hormones, excessive proteins,
unnecessary mucus, destructive parasites, pesticides and the like. Basically,
alkalize yourself with your diet. We humans have the highest neurological
development of any species, and fruits are the highest electrically-alkaline
foods on the planet. I have seen fruits regenerate the nervous system where
vegetables did not. Use herbs to rebuild tissue and promote tissue function. Use freshly-
made fruit and vegetable juices as “power” supplements to your diet. Add a
super-food complex or blend to your diet to enhance deficient foods. A
super-food, as its name implies, is one that contains some of nature’s most
nutritious and energetic foods, like royal jelly, wheat grass powder, and
alfalfa powder, in a capsule, pill or powdered form. If you do all of the above, you will see your body kick into action. It will
clean itself out and rebuild itself, regardless of the disease you may have. As
a health professional, I’ve never seen a case of any disease that did not
respond to this program. Every person I have worked with has greatly
improved, and in most cases their diseased conditions have been entirely
eliminated. Always try. I don’t care how advanced or immobile you are. I’ve seen
complete spinal cord severations repair themselves after years in which the
patient was almost completely immobilized. I have seen the body realign and
reshape itself from various deformities. If you follow nature’s laws, you will
find that the power of God and nature is unlimited. Remember, there is a reason for everything, including health and disease. It’s all about the law of cause and effect: your decisions and actions set the
cause in motion and you eventually experience the effect. Don’t get lost in an
endless scientific barrage of “treatment” concepts. Always try to understand
what is causing something. Ask yourself what the side effects might be of
whatever you do, eat, drink, breathe, feel or think. All these things
become
your experience—physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. “Disease” is only a word used by the medical community and associated
with a set of symptoms that the body displays. When an allopathic doctor
refers to a disease, he/she does not understand the true nature of the body and
its response to genetics, toxicity and acidosis. They do not understand the
chemistry and physics of nature and the need for human beings to live and
consume in harmony with it.Forget diseases. Clean and strengthen your body (cells) and there is
nothing you can’t overcome (cure). Life begets life, death begets death. The
strong survive and the weak are consumed. This is especially true at the
cellular level. Make your body (and the cells that run it) strong again and you
will experience vitality and robust health and live a disease-free life. Summary

Almost all tissue failure begins with acidosis and toxicity. As tissue fails, or
becomes congested, disease symptoms begin, both local and reflexed. By
“reflexed” we mean that many times we feel pain in one area, but the problem
or weakness originates in another part of the body. An example of this is
when the gallbladder is inflamed you may experience right knee pain or
weakness. You would never correlate the two because of the distance
between them. We commonly and mistakenly call the symptoms of acidosis and toxicity
“disease,” and attempt to treat these symptoms with suppressive drugs. This is
not only foolish, but also deadly, as this eventually causes tissue failure
leading to tissue death. Never treat the symptoms; cure the cause. If you treat
the symptom, you never cure what created the symptom in the first place. This means that in the future the root cause of the symptom of your disease
will take its toll on you, and could end your life. Treatment never
cures. Don’t treat—regenerate. It’s our only hope of
survival. Simply remove the inflammation throughout your body by
detoxification. Detoxify yourself of all the chemicals, unnecessary mucus,
toxic heavy metals, unnecessary parasites and acids. A clean and alkaline
body is a healthy and strong body. Nothing is mysterious when you understand the truth behind it. Disease
is simply a natural process, an effect that the body experiences when its cells
begin to fail from toxicity in the form of excess mucus, vaccinations, metals,
chemicals and other pollutants, and from acidosis, that is, inflammation. Cleaning out the body and strengthening the cells are the only ways to bring
about genuine healing. MODULE 5.2Parasites, Good or Bad? For the last 200 years or so scientists have spent a lot of time and money in
researching the ominous parasite. We have poured antibiotics into our bodies
until we have developed severe allergies, excessive fungal growth, lymphatic
suppression, tissue damage and new diseases, including strains like MRSA—
methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. And in many cases, the use of
antibiotics has resulted in death. The pharmaceutical cartel, the U.S.
Government, and various scientific communities have experimented with the
oftentimes deadly “vaccination,” as we discussed in
Chapter 4
. Vaccinations
have proven to be one of the greatest killers ever invented. From this
methodology we have started a genetic landslide that we cannot stop, which is
why we are seeing chronic and degenerative conditions in infants and young
children. We have created so many mutations in bacteria from the use of
antibiotics; we have created so many mutant and deadly viruses that these
pathogens are rapidly destroying the human species. People oftentimes become so intellectually obsessed that they cannot see
the forest for the trees. Let’s take a simple look at why nature (God) created
parasites. Webster’s Dictionary defines a parasite as “an organism that feeds
off of another.” For our purposes I would change this definition to “an
organism that feeds upon the toxicity and weaknesses of others.”
To understand the parasite’s function better, let’s look at what happens if
we shoot and kill a deer. (This is an example only.) Flies are the first
creatures attracted. Their work is to lay eggs, which become maggots. What is
the job of a maggot? The same as other proteus (protein-splitting) types of
parasites—to eliminate the dead carcass of the deer. This is the way nature
cleans itself. Otherwise, the bodies of all dead animals would still be here. Nature is constantly changing from one form into another. Did you know that maggots are currently used in hospitals to debride
(clean) wounds? In World War I, when medical attention was slow and so
many of the wounded men developed maggots in their wounds, the maggots
kept their wounds partially clean so that many were able to survive. Certainly God did not design parasites to attack healthy tissue or we
would all be dead. Parasites are everywhere, and you can see their vital role
on this planet in helping nature eliminate the weak so that the strong survive. This keeps the cycle of nature going. The atoms in this world are neverdestroyed, just changed by different actions, including oxidation, ionization,
and paras

Throughout history and
in the Bible, fasting has long
been promoted as a spiritual
means for intensifyingprayer and your faith. You
can reap great spiritual
blessings with your fastingand prayer. Those who
knew the secrets and the
great benefits of fasting as avital dimension in God
include Jesus, Apostle Paul,
early church leaders, Daniel,Elijah, Ezra, Esther, Job,
David, Hannah, Isaiah,
Zachariah and many others. Prominent fasters in Christian history include John Calvin,
Martin Luther, John Knox, John Wesley, David Brainard,
George Muller, and hundreds of church pioneers. Theydiscovered abstaining from food not only freed themto focus upon God with fresh intensity, but also opened
avenues of spiritual perception and understanding that
were not available during routine living. They found as theyfocused upon God with deliberate discipline and prayer,
God focused upon them with clarity of direction and
quickening of spirit. They could partake of God more easilywhen all else was set aside. Fasting Brings Great Spiritual,

Thou shall respect and protect thy body


 long as you are calling it  na mes and  saying,  "I
am happy," or "l am afraid," you are not being aware
of it. Fcar, pain, sorrow, and boredom must remain
problems if we do not understand thcm, but under -
standing rcquires a single and unclividccl mine!. This,
surely, is the meaning of that strange saying, "If chine
eyc be single,  thy whole  body  shall  be full of light." VI. T H E  MARVELOUS  MOMENT

You  ARE  LISTENING  TO A SONG. SUDOENLY  I ASK,  " A T
this moment,   who  are you?" How  will you
answer  this question immediately and
spontaneously, with - out stopping  to find words? If the question  does  n o t shock  you out of listening,
you will answer  by hum- ming che song. If the
question surprised you, you will answer,  "At this
moment,  who  are you?" But if you stop  to think,
you will  try to tell me,  not about  this moment,  but
about  the past. I shall  get informa - tion about  your
name  and address,  your  business  a n d personal
history. But I asked  who  you are,  not w h o you
were. For to be aware of reality, of the living
present,  is to discover  that at each  moment  the ex-
perience is all. There is nothing else besidc it-
no experience  of.. you"  expericncing  the
cxperiencc. Even  in our most  apparendy  self-conscious  mo-
ments,  the "self"  of which  we are conscious  is
always  sorne particular feeling or sensation -of
muscular  tensions,  of warmth  or cold,  of pain  or
irritation,  of breath  or of pulsing  blood. There   is
nevcr  a s e n s a - tion of what  scnses  sensations,  just
as thcrc  is no meaning  or possibility  in thc notion  of
smelling  one's  nose  or kissing  onc's  own  lips. In times  of happiness  and  pleasure,   we are
u s u- ally ready  enough  to be awarc  of the
moment,  and to
89 THE  WISDOM  OF INSECURlTY
let the experience be ali. In such moments we
"for- get ourselvcs," and the mind makes no
attempt to di- vide itself from itself, to be separate
from experience. But with  thc arrival  of pain,
whether  physical  or cmotional,  whether acLUal  or
anticipated,  the split  begins  and che circle  goes
round  and round. As soon as it becomes clear that 'T' cannot pos -
sibly escape  from  the reality of che present, since
'T' is nothing other than what l know now,  this
inner  turmoil musl stop. No possibility remains
but to be  aware of pain,  fear,  boredom, or grie[  in
the same  complete  way  that  one is aware  of
plcasure. The  human organism has the most
wonderful powers of  adaptation to both physical
and psychological pain. But these can only come
into full play when che pain  is not being constantly
restimulated  by this  inner  effort to geL away from
it, to separate the  "I" from  Lhe feeling. The effort
creares a state of tension in  whic h the pain thrivcs. But when the tension ceases,  mind and body begin
to absorb che pain as }Vater re - acts  to a blow  or
cut. There  is another  story  of a Chinese  sage  who
was
asked, "How shall wc escape thc heat?" -meaning,
of course, thc heat of suffering. He answered, "Go
right  into the middle of che firc." ·'But how, then,
shall we  escape che scorching flame?" "No further
pain will  trouble you!" We do not need to go as far
as China. The  same  idea  comes  in The Divine
Comedy,  where

90 THE  MARVELOUS  MOMENT
Dante  and Virgil  find  that  the way  out of Hell  lies
at its very  center. In moments of great joy we do not, as a rule,
stop  to think, "I am happy," or, "This is joy." Ordinarily,  we do not pause to think thoughts of
this kind until  the joy is past its peak, or unless
there is sorne anxiety  that it will go away. At such
times we are so aware of the moment that no
attempt is made to compare its  experience with
other expericnces. For this reason  wc do not
name it, for names which are not mere ex-
clamations are bascd on comparisons. "Joy" is
dis- tinguishecl from "sorrow" by contrast, by
comparing  one state of mincl wich the other. Had we ncver  knovm joy, it would be impossible
to identify sorrow  as sorrow. But in reality  wc cannot  compare  joy with
sorrow. Comparison is possible only by thc very rapid
alter - nation of two statcs of mind, ancl you
cannot switch  back and fonh bctween thc
gcnuinc feclings of joy  and sorrow as you can
shift your eycs bctween a cat and a dog. Sorrow
can only be compared wich che  memory of joy,
which is not at all thc samc ching as joy itself. Like words,  mcmorics nevcr  renlly succccd in
"catching" n:ality., \lcmorics are somewhat
abstract,  being a knowledgc aboul  1hings rathcr
than of chings. Memory nevcr caplllres the
esscnce, the present in - tensity,  the concrete
reality  of an experience. lt is, as TJIE  WISOOM  OF INSECURITY
it were, the corpse of an experience, from which
the life has vanished. What  we know  by memory,
we know only al secondhand. Memories  are dead
be- cause  fixed. The memory  of your deceased
grand - mother can only repeat what your
grandmother was. But thc  real,  present
grandmother could always  do or say someLhing
new, and you,vere never absolutely  sure  what  she
would  do next. There  are, Lhen,  two ways  of understanding  an
ex-
perience. The firsl is to compare it with the
memories  of ocher expcriences, and so lO name
and define il. This  is to imcrpret it in accordance
wilh  che dead  and the pase. The second is  lO be
aware  of it as it  is, as when, in the intensity of joy,
we forget past and  future, let the present be all,
and thus do not even  stop  to Lhink,  "I am
happy." Both  ways  of understanding  have  their  uses. fiul Lhey corrcspond to the difference  between

 t hose growth promoters, and they fatten you up. Even prescription drugs, includ ing antihistamines, antidepressants, anti-inflammatories and
hormones, can cause weight gain. The effects of toxins are magnified  when poor diets deprive us of the essential nutrients that our
detoxification systems need in order to remove t oxins from our bodies. A ma jor source of dietary
toxins is processed junk food. Processed foods, from breakfast cereals to hot dogs, to dinner
helpers are loaded with toxic ar tificial preservatives, colorings and flavorings, plus nitrites,
MSG, artificial sweeteners and many other toxins. When toxins are included in your diet, it is difficult to lose wei ght because your appetite and fat
storage control systems will be out of cont rol. One can only wonde r how many millions of
people have failed to achieve permanent wei ght loss because they included toxin-loaded
processed foods in their diet plan. Overweight is a disease that cau ses a cascade of abnormal biochemistry, resulting in a myriad of
health problems and early death. Excess fat is a biological disaster. If you are more than five
pounds overweight, it is already pos sible to measure biochemical abnormalities. So if you have
even a few extra pounds, you are not as healthy as  you think you are. In fact, you are sick. Fortunately, this is simple to prevent and reve rse. Get processed foods out of your life. Replace
them with organic, whole, unprocessed plant-base d foods. This is automatically a low calorie,
low toxin, high nutrient diet. Combine this with  high quality supplements and regular physical
activity, and you have a program for permanent weight control. Most diseases, including overweight, are unknowi ngly self-inflicted and they can be self-
reversed with aggressive nutri tion and detoxification. Permanently  reversing overweight requires
long-term responsible commitment. Any effort th at does not include lifestyle changes will fail. Without fundamental changes, the weight will come back. For more specifics on how to do this,
get yourself a copy of Never Be Fat Again. The key is to improve the quality of your food and your lifestyle choices. Your new, beautiful,
strong and lean body will mirror the good health th at will be yours to en joy for a lifetime. Raymond Francis is an MIT-trained sc ientist, a registered nutriti on consultant, author of Never

Diets Don't Work. by Raymond Francis
I f you are more than five pounds over your normal weight, you need to read my book Never Be
Fat Again. A catastrophic epidemic of overweight disease is sweeping America. More than two-
thirds of all Americans are overweight. This is not a cosmetic problem— it is a serious, chronic
and degenerative disease. Even a few extra pound s will accelerate aging, increase susceptibility
to cancer and other diseases, increase disability  and shorten life. Over weight is not a benign
disease, and no one should be or needs to be fat. Lean people live longer, have less disease, less
disability, more energy, and a higher quality of life. While millions spend billions trying to lose weight, this epidemic is getting worse every year. More than one-third of our children are overweigh t. Because of this, life expectancy is expected
to turn down, after two h undred years of increases. When I looked at this problem, I wondered why, af ter all those diets and all that money, time,
effort, diet books, diet programs,  gimmicks, magic pills and exercise machines overweight is still
increasing. I soon found out. Diets don’t work —so don’t go on a diet. Diets are not only
ineffective; they are dangerous, even deadly. Be sides that, who wants to count calories, weigh
out portions, be deprived, eat unnatu rally, and feel aggravated and starved. Perhaps it would be
worth it if it worked, but it doesn’t, because mo st diets are scientific ally and nutritionally
unsound. Their goal is weight loss NOW at any pr ice. They aim at lo sing weight, which is
merely a symptom of this disease. You ca nnot solve problems by attacking symptoms. Almost anyone can lose 5 to 10 percent of their weight on any number of diets. The weight may
go away for a while, but the vast majority of pe ople gain everything back and more, packing on
extra pounds. Studies show that overweight people who diet gain  more weight than those who
don’t. Yet at any point in time, one in three Amer icans is on a diet. It should be obvious that a
slim body and vibrant health are not the usual results of dieti ng. Many of these people end up
doing dangerous yo-yo dieting—cycles of gaining and losing weight— which actually doubles
the risk of dying from heart disease, damages i mmunity and raises the risk of premature death
from all causes. It is better to do nothing than go on a diet —the benefits of dieting are too small
and the risks too big. The reason I wrote my book Never Be Fat Again  was to help overweight  people lose weight
safely and permanently. But you don’t do that wi th a diet; you do it w ith a health-enhancing
lifestyle that includes nutritious  food, avoiding toxins and regu lar physical activity. Focusing on
weight loss alone is the wrong thing to do, because  overweight is a disease. Fat is a symptom;
you cannot cure a disease by attacking symptoms. Permanent weight loss is possible only by
regaining health. Always remember there is only one disease— malfunctioning cells—and only two causes of
disease— deficiency and toxicity. Overweight di sease is caused by deficien cy and toxicity; it is
reversed by addressing these two causes. So how do deficiency and toxic ity cause overweight. When the body is deficient in nut rients, the appetite is turned on in  order to get what is needed. Nutrient deficiency stimulates appetite, causes hunger and cravings and si gnals the body to store
fat. The problem is our processed-food diets do not  contain the required nut rients. So the appetite
stays on and we eat more empty calories. The Sta ndard American Diet is deficient in nutrients
while also being loaded with more calories th an we can use. Whenever we consume more
calories than necessary to maintain ou r current weight, we will store fat. Studies have found that calcium deficiency can tu rn on fat-storing genes, while adequate calcium
will speed fat burning. Similarly, a deficiency of  omega-3 fatty acids will activate fat-storing
genes, while adequate omega-3s will turn th em off and speed up fat burning. So guess what. Most Americans are deficient in both calcium an d omega-3s. The average American gets only a
fraction of the nutrition they requ ire for optimal health. This is why we are operating at far below
our biological potential,  resulting in our epidemic of ch ronic disease and overweight. These
deficiencies must be corrected if  you want to lose weight. As l ong as the body is not getting the
nutrition it needs, you will crave food even though you have just loaded up on high calorie junk
food. As you seek to lose weight by consuming fewer calories and increasing ex ercise, you must make
sure the calories you do consume are loaded w ith nutrition. You cannot simply eat smaller
amounts of nutritionally wo rthless foods. This means you need to  eat organic, fresh, raw fruits
and vegetables, sprouts, beans and whole grai ns—foods that contain th e highest amount of
nutrients and fiber per calorie. B ecause these real foods are both nutrient-rich and fiber-rich, they
will make you feel fuller. This satisfies hunger,  shuts off the appetite, and prevents the
consumption of too many calories. Empty-calorie, nutrient-poor, fiber-less, make believe foods
such as sugar, white flour and most pr ocessed and fast foods  are not options. Supplements are essential. They help to solve th e problem of cellular deficiency, and they also
support the body’s detoxification sy stem. Here is a list of the supplements I recommend that
work synergistically to provide nutrition, mi nimize free-radical damage and help the body
detoxify: The Beyond Health Comprehensive Kit forms the basis of this program. I suggest adding the following with Beyond Health-approved products: Acetyl L-Carnitine, Caroplete,
Choline Citrate, Coconut Oil,  Cod liver Oil, CoQ10, Garlic, Glucose Regulation Guard, Beyond
Health Magnesium Formula, Regular ity Guard, Selenium and Thiodox. Call 800-250-3063  for

epidemic by impairing the body’s appetite and fat storage controls. Common food additives such
as MSG and aspartame, can make us feel hungr y even when we


. Rarely are any claims
made that a drug will cure any particular chronic disease. At best, th ey usually profess only to substitute one set of symptoms for
another. The Myth of the “Cure”
The very notion that “cure” is possible is preposterous. Healing, on the other hand is not only possible but is ongoing. The
inborn healing intelligence of the body is always  at work, repairing us and compensating for the challenges we subject it  to. This
healing occurs as quickly and efficiently as possible given our le vel of vital energy—and in a priority order we cannot comprehend. All attempts (both conventional and “alternative”) to aid this pr ocess through outside interventions or treatments or ingestion of any
external substances only shift symptoms and create greater problems  for the body in the long run. Healing comes through cessation of cause. We are never cured from a dis ease or symptom, for if we once again participate in
its cause the body again begins the process of generating the symptoms i n response. The fact that pharmaceutical drugs are sold legally over the counte r or are prescribed by licensed physicians does not make
them any less dangerous to health than street drugs. Over 100,000 people die eac h year from the side effects of these patented
medicines. No one has ever died from eating an adequate supply of fruits and v egetables. The advice to continue or curtail a particular medication is beyond the s cope of this book. However, any reputable physician
should encourage his or her patients to improve their underlying healt h so as to make the continued reliance on pharmaceutical
medications unnecessary. How can I stay raw in the winter cold? Fortunately, most folks who live in colder climates have homes in which  to eat, sleep, work, and live. We maintain our homes
at comfortable temperatures. People continue to drink cold beer and eat ice cr eam in the winter. They eat hot food in the heat of
summer. Neither geography nor the seasons are valid reasons for us to ch ange our diet from 80/10/10. If in cold weather a person finds that they need more food, it is perfectly ac ceptable to increase consumption. The
caloronutrient percentages should not change appreciably, however, jus t as it does not change whether a person consumes 1,500
calories per day or 4,500 calories per day. Of course, it is almost always a healt hy idea to take a winter vacation to a warm-
weather climate if you live in a location where this season is parti cularly harsh. Is there such a thing as foods that heal? It is important to understand that foods don’t heal us; the body does all the  healing. Foods, cooked or raw, simply supply the materials the body uses to perform its various functions. However, low-fa t raw vegan foods provide the widest range of high-quality
nutrients and are, therefore, more likely to furnish the perfect proporti on of raw materials needed by the body for healing. Beyond that, no specific raw food is better for “healing” than any othe r. Each supplies a form of raw material that the body
may need and use. Unlike cooked foods, raw foods do this without leaving a toxic resi due that can overwhelm the body’s ability to
maintain a healthy, balanced state. A good variety of low-fat raw vegan foods in the diet is more than adequate to a ttain, regain, or maintain health. It is always
healthiest and most economical to emphasize in-season foods that are gr own locally, as these will likely be the freshest. It is best to
seek out variety over the course of the year, rather than combining foods a t every meal, every day, or even every week. Is it all right to juice fruits and vegetables? With a few exceptions, it is preferable to consume the whole foods rather t han to extract and drink part of them. Drinking fruit
or vegetable juice without the pulp being present to slow the absorption rat e of the nutrients can spike the blood sugar and throw
your blood chemistry out of balance. One exception is fresh-squeezed citrus fruits, since a significa nt portion of the pulp is generally retained with the juice. The
other “exceptions” are to blend fruits such as melons into a watery  slush or to make fruit smoothies out of fruits like bananas,
strawberries, peaches, or mangos. Liquefying a blender full of whole frui t turns it into a thick smoothie, while keeping the entire
nutritional package together. Blending whole tomato, celery, and orange m akes a thick, tasty, salad dressing. Do I need to take supplements? You have no need for supplements if you are eating a calorically adequate  low-fat plant-based raw diet, engaging in frequent
vigorous activity, and otherwise living a healthful lifestyle. A ll the vitamins, minerals and nutrients any body needs are amply suppli ed
through the variety of fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens found in a  healthful diet. That said, the health of each individual always takes priority over any  philosophical position. In individual cases, it may be
necessary to supplement the diet nutritionally during the initial  phases of lifestyle change rather than risk potential health damag e. One
example of this is a possible need to supplement B 12. If you experience extended periods of extreme stress, are nursing, eati ng too
much frozen food, are in transition, or your food is not grown in healthy soil, su pplementing this nutrient for a short period of time
may be beneficial. Supplementation would be done solely to allow time for the be nefits of correct living to accrue or for extenuating
circumstances to pass. Nonetheless, the amount of nutrients that we require, across the board, i s far less than conventional guidelines would have us
believe. When the body is in a fit and healthy state and all systems are  working optimally, we experience superior absorption and
utilization and overall greater efficiency in every aspect of cel lular function. When we slow down and gum up the works with fat,
however, it’s a different story. And supplement vendors capitalize on  this fact to your detriment. People have come to equate nutrition with pills, powders, and potions, rather th an with whole foods from nature. Ironically,
you generally won’t find a single food of any kind in most “health-food” store s. Their products, no matter how “whole” or “natural”
the ingredients, may shift symptoms but do not and cannot  create true health. If “health foods” were truly whole and natural, they would contain all of  the water, fiber, and other vital components that
nature provides them with, and their sale would require no packaging or labe ls. (The profit margins would also dwindle, as whole
produce doesn’t carry the markup of “nutritional” products.) No pill or powder that has had any of its water removed can properly be called a “whole-food” supplement, and anyone who
markets their dehydrated product as such is kidding themselves, as well a s you. The water in our plant foods is simply too critical for
our cellular health to be compromised, and no drinking water of any kind can eve r adequately make up the difference. When the
water is removed, the oxidative process that occurs has a degrading impac t on the nutrients that remain, leaving supplements far less
nutritious than their whole-food counterparts. When people follow the nutritionally unsound advice of supplement s alesmen selling fractional, isolated “foods,” they shouldn’t
be surprised when they end up not feeling their best, with a naggi ng sense that “something” is wrong. This opens the door wide for
the salesman to then sell supplements to “correct” the dietary and n utritional insufficiencies their own advice occasioned. I’m always dumbfounded when I hear about the money people spend on nut ritional supplements. It seems there is no high-end
limit to the amount of product recommended by supplement salesmen. In convey or-belt fashion, they roll out a bewildering array of
“newly discovered” miracle “foods,” while at the same time replacin g older products with newly reformulated versions. Such antics
essentially amount to an open admission that yesterday’s silver bullet, which they touted so highly, really didn’t work as well as their
sales pitch had promised. Most of what comes from the world of nutrition these days is no more than sli ck marketing disguised as education, in the form
of infomercials and edutisements. The marketer informs the audience  that some nutrient is good for a particular condition and then
follows up with a strong push to convince the audience to buy lots of it. Of course, the marketers neglect to mention that too much of that nutri ent is harmful in a variety of ways, not the least of which is the inevitable imbalances that result when we consume suppleme nts of any kind. Most supplements are concentrated from plant
foods, and despite our American “more is better” mindset, the body does not  appreciate these unnatural concentrates and has to
work to expel them similarly to the way it has to eliminate toxic residu e from cooked foods. Like an amateur barber who finds himself trimming each side of the  hair to make things “even” until his client is bald, a person
who supplements with single nutrients (or any formulation or combinat ion of extracted nutrients) inevitably creates greater and more
confounding imbalances, whether or not the cause and effect are discer nible in the short term. It is always better to correct the diet
than to supplement it. On a healthy diet, supplements are not


edom:  P articipants are free to come and go without persuasion,
coercion, intimidation, or con sequences. There is no hierarchy;
instead, there is voluntary fulfillment of practical necessities and
duties. 13. Commonality:  Rec ognition is a consequence of what one has become
rather than a result of ascribed titles, adjectives, or trappings. 14. Inspirational:  T ruth eschews and avoids glam orization, seduction, and
theatrics. 15. Nonmaterialistic:  T ru th is  devoid  of need for worldly wealth, prestige,
pomp, or edifices. 16. Self-fulfilling:  T ruth is already  total and complete and has no need to
proselytize or gain adherents, followers, or “sign up members. ”
17. Detached:  There is noninvolvement in world af fairs. 18. Benign:  T ru th is identif iable along a progressive gradient. It has no
“opposite” and therefore no “enemies” to castigate or oppose. 19. Nonintentional:  T ruth does not intervene or  have an agenda to
propose, inflict, or promulgate. 20. Nondualistic:  All transpires by virtue of intrinsic (karmic) propensity
within the field, by which potentiality manifests as actuality rather thanby cause and ef fect. 21. T ranquility and peace:  There are no “issues” or partialities. There is no
desire to  change others or imp ose on society. The ef fect of higher
ener gies is innate and not dep endent on propagation or ef fort. God
does not need help any more than gravity needs the “help” of an
apple’ s falling of f the tree. 22. Equality:  This is expressed in reverence for all life in all its
expressions and  merely avoids that which is deleterious rather than
opposing it. 23. Nontemporality:  Life is realized  to be eternal and physicality to be a
temporality. Life is not subject to death. 24. Beyond pr oof:  T hat which is  “provable” is linear, limited, and a
product of intellectualization and mentation. Reality needs no
agreement. Reality is not an acquisition but instead is a purely
spontaneous, subjective realization when the positionalities of the
dualistic ego are surrendered. 25. Mystical:  The origination of truth is a spontaneous ef fulgence,
radiance, and illumination, which is the Revelation that replaces the
illusion of a separate individual self, the ego, and its mentation. 26. Ineffable:  Not capable  of definition. Radical subjectivity is
experiential. It is a condition t hat replaces the former ego-centered
condition. W ith this event, context replaces content, devoid of
temporality and beyond time. Reality does not exist in time, of it,
beyond it, or out side of it, and it has no relationship to that which is an
artifice of mentation. It is there fore beyond all nouns, adjectives, or
verbs, transitive or intransitive. 27. Simplistic:  O ne sees the intrinsic beauty and perfection of all that
exists beyond appearance and form. 28. Affirmative:  T ruth is beyond opinion or provability. Confirmation is
purely by its subjective awareness; however, it is identifiable by
consciousness-calibration techniques. 29. Nonoperative:  T ruth does not “do” anything o r “cause” anything; it is
everything. 30. Invitational:  As contrasted with promotional or persuasive. 31. Nonpr edictive:  B ecause Reality is nonlinear, i t cannot be localized or
encoded in restriction of form, such as secret messages, codes,
numbers, and inscriptions, or hidden in runes, stones, the dime nsions
of the pyramid, DNA, or the no stril hairs of the camel. T ruth has no
secrets. The Reality of God is o mnipresent and beyond codifica tion or
exclusivity. Codes are indicative of human imagination and not the
capriciousness of Divinity. 32. Nonsentimental:  Emotionality is based on perception. Compassion
results from the discernment of truth. 33. Nonauthoritarian:  There are no rules or dictates to be followed. 34. Nonegoistic:  T eachers are respected but reject personal adulation or
specialness. 35. Educational:  Provide s information in a variety of formats and ensures
availability. 36. Self-supporting:  Neither mercenary nor materialistic. 37. Fr eestanding:  Complete without dependence on external or historical
authorities. 38. Natural:  Devoid of induced, altered status of consciousness or
manipulations of ener gies by artificial exercises, postures, breathing,
or d ietary rituals (that is, non reliance on form or physicality; no
invoking of entities or “others”). 39. Complete:  Devoid of exploitation or gain. 40. Nonviolent:  Not coercive, benign, nonthreatening. Spiritual truth is universal. The  same essential truth has been taught by
the enli ghtened mystics, saints, sages, and avatars who have appeared
throughout histo ry, in dif ferent r eligions and cultures, separated by dif ferent
sides of the globe and across many centuries. No person or religion orgroup is  the sole possessor or purveyor of truth. A truth is true at all times
in all places, in dependent of cultures, customs, opinions, pers onalities, or
circumstances. A true teacher claims no specialness but rather points the seeker to
realize the same truth from within. The Self of the student is said to be the
same Se lf of the teacher, whose state of Self-realization serves  to activate
the s tudent’ s own inner awakeni ng. T rue teachers humbly acknowledge that
divine states are a gift of G race and therefore do not of f er spiritual
teachings for a price beyond covering expenses required for dissemination. Integrous teache rs and or ganizations are not interested in contr olling the
personal lives of students, promotionalism, gaining followers, or
entertaining peo ple with theatrical presentations. Their integr ity requires
them to share t he gift of Real ization they were given, with the unique
capacities bestowed them, but they have no attachment to the response;
what peo ple do with it is up to them. People are free to come and go as they
wish. Notable is that pure spirituality has no requirements, obligations,
dependencies, attachments, or other evidence of specialness, nor the
imposition of control, such as  oaths, financial pledges, or signing up
members for classes or “traini ngs. ” Commitment is to the core of truth
itself, n ot to the person of the teacher, and pure spirituality  is free of
seduction by proselytization or secrecies. All that is necessary are curiosity
and an attraction to truth, which is complete, total, and self-suf ficient. The teachers, teachings, or groups found attractive or meaningful depend
on the karmic propensities and evolution of the seeker at any given time. Dif ferent teachers and teaching s will appeal to dif ferent seekers and be
appropriate for dif ferent life tas ks. What is best for one person or situation
may not  be best for another. Just because a teaching calibrate s at 600 or
higher does not mean it is the most appropriate or helpful; wha t matters is
that a teaching or teacher calibrates over 200, the level of integrity. SPIRITUAL EDUCA TION
Fortunate is the seeker who has  not been led away from the straight and
narrow path of spiritual truth by diversions and popularized attractions. People spend lifetimes searching for authentic teachings and becomesidetracked by the seduction of attractive, glamorized aberrations away
from truth. These turn out to be fictional or romanticized fa ntasies that
attract the naïve person’ s inne r child. Spiritual fairy tales a bound and
impress the credulous, for who m anything labeled “spiritual” is imbued
with a magical glamour. T o go through that stage is routine during initial,
uncritical enthusiasm and exploration. The primary problem initially i s the lack of awareness of the dif ference
between the truly spiritual reality and the astral, paranormal, or supernatural
domains. T o the naïve, thes e latter alternatives seem amazing and
impressive. A “right-on” psychi c reading is indeed impressive to a novice. The majority of popular best-selling supposedly spiritual books are actually
fictional, and their average leve l of truth is at calibration level 190, as are
slick-appearing “spiritual” magazines that glamorize fallacious fantasies of
“other d imensions,” and so on. T he paradox is that the appeal is to the naïve
seeker who has not yet mastered this dimension, much less other fanciful
ones. Mystical “powe rs” that are g enuine are not exhibited, much less
promoted or sold for a price

Secrets of the healing of dry fasting
New medical technology is a complete implementation of the method of dry
starvation (GSN)
Complete dry fasting duration of 7, 9, 11 days is used for:
1. Effective incentive healthily and recovery
forces that increase the body's resistance to various
adverse effects on people: the external factors
inner-outer and inner. 2. Getting rid of people from different disease states
and chronic diseases. 3. Enhance and restore the regenerative and reparative
processes in organs and tissues. 4. Prevention and control of possible violations
in the body. 5. Substantially extend the period of active creativity
any member of society. 6. Discovery and development of hidden reserves of creativity
intelligence available to everyone in the form of unrealized
potency. 7. Joyful perception of the world and active
active creativity for the benefit of themselves, society and the
humanity. The main advantages of new medical technology:
- PSG technique is environmentally clean, does not require the use of
medicines;
- Periodic cleansing of the body as a result of PSG helps
maintain health, give rest to all organs of the gastrointestinal
tract, stimulates creative activity of man, raises
emotional and imaginative perception of the outside world;
- Method of PSG, in contrast to other schemes of starvation
lets you interrupt the fasting, at any stage of its execution without
harm to patient health;
- GSN enhances a person's will and faith in themselves and their capabilities;
- A complete abandonment of the reception of any fluid or brake
terminates processes of putrefactive fermentation in the gastro-
gastrointestinal tract;
- PSG is an effective way to reduce excess
weight of obese people (an average of 1 kg per day);
- GSN reduces elevated levels of metabolism, which is celebrated
patients, long-term chronic illnesses;
- GSN enhances circulation of the skin,
causing them to turn red, opens pores in the skin, strengthens
the process of cutaneous respiration, increases the threshold for cold perception,
promotes the uptake of condensed moisture
140
140through the respiratory system and skin during outdoor activities,
especially in the evening and night hours;
- PSC strengthens the processes of recovery of abnormal body
and pathologically altered cells, deposits of cholesterol on
the walls of blood vessels, soften deposits of tartar
in the oral cavity, as well as deposits of stones in the tissues and Interior
organs (gall bladder, kidneys, joints);
- PSG normalizes blood pressure, as well as activities
central nervous system and autonomic nervous system,
improves tissue respiration and tissue metabolism;
- GSN enhances reparative processes in the human body for
through internal reserves and resources of the body, improves
conductivity and permeability of nerve impulses (including
trophic) to various tissues and organs;
- PSG activates the body processes remove toxic
metabolites and exo-and endotoxins;
- PSG can be performed for patients like yourself at home
conditions and under the supervision of instructors and other professionals
owning technology PSG (in a sanatorium institutions
resort-style and the hotel and medical complexes);
- PSG technique allows its use in infectious
diseases (acute viral hepatitis in the acute and long form
chronic hepatitis), cancer (adenomas
prostate and uterine cancer), severe somatic
diseases (asthma, hereditary-degenerative
nervous system diseases, coronary heart disease)
inflammatory diseases (prostatitis, myocarditis, and many
others). Comment. The main advantage of this method is
that the most therapeutic second acidotic crisis, we can pass
immediately upon passage, lasted ten full dry
starvation. Accordingly, a very good therapeutic effect, but

locations and under the supervision of a physician, vladeyuschegom this technique. Disadvantage: modern humans body so full of
toxins and wastes, that they may not perish from hunger and from the powerful
intoxication. When a person begins to starve, all
slag, "rassovannye" by nook body come
in motion. They begin to act like an avalanche in the blood, changing
its physiological constants. Only one thing that causes seizures
malaise, lethargy, general soreness. Organs of excretion are not
time to remove toxins and poisons from the bloodstream. Included
all the organs of excretion: kidney, nasopharynx, gastrointestinal
tract, skin. As a result, the urine is turbid, dirty, aching
in the kidneys and bladder. Chair becomes fluid, stomach aches. Appear profuse discharge from the nose as a cold. Leather
covered with a rash, acne, and even boils. This is a very
141
