 CALL TO ACTION

It is time for humans to stop the toxic consumption of animal products, which
today are so
laden with toxic hormones, antibiotics, chemicals and the like,
that they have become time bombs just ticking away inside of us. We
can
 lift
ourselves up from decay and toxicity and enjoy the vitality and internal
cleanliness that a raw fruit-and-vegetable diet will bring. Such a diet breaks
the chains of anger and despair, freeing us into the light of vibrancy and
health.
Try a six-week diet free of animal products and see the difference for
yourself. It’s one thing to read and form opinions from conditioned thought.
However, it’s quite another to experience it directly for yourself.
All life transmutes compounds and elements into other compounds or
elements, although this process is not well understood by the scientific
community, as of yet. Your body can and does create amino acids from
carbohydrates and fats. Your body uses the constituents in your foods,
especially those biologically suited for you, to maintain and repair itself.
Nature will always have mysteries for us to seek. The mind, which is
forever over-reacting, can keep the soul’s attention here in the physical world
indefinitely. The mind is like the seeker after God, forever looking for truth
when it is always right in front of him. The mind (intellec-tualism) always
likes to tear things apart to try to understand how they are made. Soul already
knows
 how things are made. Break free from in-tellectualism and enjoy the
simplicity of nature and God. It will free you from a lot of wasted energy.
Become a raw-food, living-food eater and enjoy vitality and robust health.
You will be much happier for it.
HIGH PROTEIN DIETS CAN CAUSE DEATH
 Research studies done by some of the world’s top educational institutions
(including Simmons College and Harvard University, as reported in
The New
England Journal of Medicine
 and
The Archives of Internal Medicine)
 have
proven, over and over again, that meat protein is toxic to us when it is
absorbed through our intestinal walls. This creates acidosis, affects an
immune response and invites parasites. The following list will summarize
what we have considered in the previous sections about the basic reasons to
avoid meat and high protein diets.
A protein structure is not useable by the body as such, and must be
broken down into its simplest compounds, called amino acids before the
body can use it at all. This process
requires
 energy instead of yielding
energy.
Many acids are created during the digestion and metabolizing of proteins,
including uric acid (which causes gout), phosphoric acid, and sulfuric
acid. These acids are irritating and inflammatory to tissues. They also
stimulate nerve responses leading to hyperactivity of tissues.
Protein is a nitrogen compound, high in phosphorous, which when
consumed in large amounts, will deplete calcium and other electrolytes
from the body.
Proteins are highly acid-forming, lowering the pH balance of the body.
This causes inflammation and tissue weakness, leading to tissue death.
Proteins are not used as fuel by the body; they are building blocks and
carriers. When proteins are broken down by digestion into amino acids,
their main function becomes growth and repair of tissue. Simple sugars
are the main fuels for the body besides oxygen. When we try to lose
weight by burning proteins for fuel, this causes fat breakdown. However,
it also causes tissue breakdown. You can destroy liver, pancreatic and
kidney tissues by burning your building blocks instead of using proper
fuels.
In people who have adrenal weakness, a high protein diet causes the liver
to create large amounts of cholesterol, which then begins to plaque
throughout the body, especially through the vascular system, liver and
kidneys. Stone formation also begins to take place in the liver and
gallbladder.
Animal proteins putrefy in the body causing body odor. This
putrefaction causes a cesspool of toxins to build up in the intestines and
the tissues of the body, both interstitially and in-tracellularly This not
only creates a base for parasites to grow, but the acidity createsinflammation, which blocks cellular respiration, eventually causing
cellular death.
High protein consumption does not fit our species, nor is it
physiologically sound.
Animal farming, as a food source, has devastated us economically,
environmentally and spiritually. We are destroying our forests and green
land to create pastures. This is destroying our planet in many ways. It
affects the production of vital oxygen, diminishes heat protection,
destroys beauty, limits erosion protection, limits our fruit and vegetable
farming, increases toxic by-products of animals, robs topsoil and oxygen
levels from grain farming, and destroys wild animal habitats. We waste
thousands of acres in raising tons of grain needed to feed cattle and other
animals.
High protein diets contain excessive amounts of epinephrine (adrenaline)
and thereby create aggression, anger and adrenal failure in humans who
consume these foods.
Meat has been proven to cause intestinal cancer. It is suspected in liver
and pancreatic cancers, as well. The cesspool of putrefaction that builds
up in the lymphatic system is possibly the starting cause of lymphomas.
Meat-eating societies have a much shorter life span. An example of this is
the Intuits of Northern Canada and Alaska whose average life span is
approximately fifty years.
Meat is nothing more than dead or dying cells, living in their own
cesspool of stagnant, putrefying blood. And humans call this good
nutrition.
Meat stimulates, irritates and inflames the sexual organs, especially the
prostate gland, leading to prostatitis.
Today’s animal meat is full of growth hormones, antibiotics, pesticides,
herbicides, nuclear wastes, high levels of adrenaline, and other toxic
chemicals from air and ground pollution. All of these compounds are
considered carcinogenic. We find more cancer in cows, pigs and
chickens today than ever before. And humans eat this. Some meat
producers (farmers and ranchers) have also lost their integrity and sense
of decency, and are grinding up their sick and dying cows, pigs and
chickens and mixing this “dead,” often “diseased,” meat into their regular
animal feed. This leads to “Mad Cow” and “Hoof and Mouth” disease.
We see this now, especially in Europe, where meat growers have been
feeding dead sheep meat to living cows. Cows are vegetarians. Hogs are
not true meat eaters, either. This eventually leads to acidosis and diseasewithin these animals, just as it does within humans.
High protein diets lower manganese levels resulting in spasms,
convulsions, neurotransmitter issues (myasthenia, S.O.B., heart
arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation, etc.), neuromuscular problems,
Parkinson’s and Lou Gehrig’s disease.
Meat is full of dead blood cells (hemoglobin), which are full of iron.
However, iron is a mineral, which if consumed in abundance can become
toxic, especially oxidized iron (not plant iron). Iron toxicity creates a
multitude of reactions within the body, including:
Decrease in chromium (needed in insulin transport issues)
Decrease in zinc (needed in insulin and energy production)
Damage to liver, pancreatic and kidney tissue
Lowering of calcium and calcium absorption and utilization
Increase in sodium levels (hence creating edema)
Increase in nitrogen and phosphorous levels (thus increasing acidosis)
Dizziness, equilibrium and spastic conditions by decreasing manganese
levels
Meat eating leads to high blood pressure from sodium retention and lipid
coagulation.
Meat eating with vitamin C supplementation enhances iron absorption,
thereby magnifying iron toxicity
Red meat eating is linked to the increase of N-Nitroso compounds from
intestinal bacteria, which can be cancer-causing to the intestinal walls.
Meat eating is known to be one of the chief and most direct causes of
tooth decay.
These are just a few examples of why high animal-protein diets are
destroying the human race. Wake up and enjoy life without animal
products. Your body will love you for it, as it becomes odor-free and
vibrant. Love your planet and its animals too.
COMPLETE PROTEIN OR COMPLETE MYTH?

There is a myth about the need for “complete” amino acids or “complete
proteins” in the human diet. We have struggled with this misinformation for
years. Basically, the misinformation says that unless you eat foods containing
all the essential amino acids in one meal you will not have what you need to
create a “complete protein” and therefore your body will be protein deficient.
This is one of the primary arguments for the consumption of meat and dairyproducts, or the consumption of soy products, beans, and white flour.
Consider, however:
What is the diet of a wild horse, an elephant, or a cow? These are
herbivores and their strength is well known. Their diet is 100 percent
grass and vegetable matter. If they needed the “complete protein” that is
claimed, they must be getting it from plants.
70 to 80 percent of a grizzly bear’s diet is grass. Bears don’t eat much
meat. When they do, it’s generally the fat (not the protein) structure that
they’re after. Bears are omnivores.
We are the highest species in the frugivore category, which is not
designed to eat meat.

"I AM"  flashing  These  Words  to this Good  Brother,  which
he repeats  to you.  You  have  become  a Part  of That  Self—
Myself!  Do you  think  you  would  ever  get away  from  Me?
Think  of it! You  cannot  escape  now!  Some  who  think  they
might,  will  find  that  is a mistake.
So Dear  Ones,  in the Glory  of your  privilege,  go forth
in the Full  Power  of Joy  and  the Consciousness  of your
Ability;  to call forth  from  your  Presence  This  Mighty  Free-
dom  and  Limitless  Activity  of Itself.  Ask  It, to silence  your
human  forever;  to hold  it bound  and  in obedience  to the
Great  Law  of Life!  Let  the Power  of your  Presence  flood
your  world  to alone  act in your  world,  keeping  it Free
from  human  qualification  of any  kind.  If you  will  do that,
Precious  Ones,  in so short  a time,  you  will  begin  to feel
This  Power  releasing  from  the Light  within  you;  which
will positively  give  you  all the Courage,  Confidence  and
Freedom  in Its Perfection  which  every  Heart  in the World
craves.
So, tonight,  in My  Closing  Words,  I call  your  "Beloved
Mighty  I Am  Presence"  to take  command  of each  mind
and body;  silence  your  human  qualities;  and  cause  them  to
remain  silent  and  obedient  to the Great  Light  within  your
Heart!  I call  That  Light  to take  Its Command;  to hold  Its 52 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES
Dominion  and  to produce  Its Perfection  in you  and  your
world!  Then,  you  become  a Pillar  of Light,  thru  which  the
Power  of the "I AM  Presence"  pours  forth  Its Radiance,
into your  environment  everywhere.
The Glory  of Our  Light  will  cause  people  to come  to
you and  inquire  of the Glory,  of the Peace  and  the Love
which  radiates  from  you!  Then,  will  be your  opportunity
to explain  to them  the Knowledge  of the Presence  and  the

bring  forth  thru  them.  It is not a matter  of can It, or will  It
do so; but It does  do so! The  Light  of your  Being,  the Light
of the "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  compels  It to go forth;  as
you understand  and  harmonize  your  feeling  enough;  and
stop the qualification  of that  mighty  Pure  Perfect  Energy
which  stands  ever  ready  and  waiting,  to flood  you and  your

Beloved  Children  of Earth,  your  Pilgrimage  is fast draw-
ing to a close;  and  out of That  Light  from  which  you  came,
is flowing  forth  your  Victory.  Can  you  with  Me compre-
hend  for a few moments,  the Light  from  which  you  came ?
The Light  which  is every  moment  beating  your  Heart;
Out of That  Great  Fire-Breath  of God,  came  your  Individ-
ualization.  The  "Mighty  I AM  Presence"  projected  your
Higher  Mental  Body,  then  the Ray  by which  your  human
form  came  into  being!  Contemplate  with  Me This  Mighty
Reality  and  no longer  feel  yourselves  separate  from  that
Great  Light  which  gives  you  Life!  That  is your  Life!  That
is your  Intelligence  and  Power!
We, who  know  so well  the Great  Freedom,  which  comes
alone  from  the Light;  We  who  have  It, because  We have
It, We know  you can too!  Will  you  not enter  into  Our  Open
Door,  thru  which  Beloved  Saint  Germain  has invited  you  to
come;  and  no longer  dwell  upon  the fragments  of human
creations ? Can  you  bear  it Oh,  Beloved  Children,  to face
the Truth:  and  know  the fragments  of Life  which  you  are
ordinarily  using,  are but the farthest  outer  covering  of the
Light;  which  is your  Perfection,  into  which  you  may  enter,
if you  will,  in the  Acknowledgment  of your  Presence,
53 54 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES
which  is All-Wise,  All-Powerful,  and  Whose  Light  fills  the
Earth?
Do not  let your  attention  go astray  longer,  for in your
attention  to the  Presence,  comes  your  Eternal  Release.
There  is naught  else  to set you  Free!  Once  you  can  hold
yourself  firm  to your  Presence,  acknowledging  It, calling  It
into action,  then  quickly  comes  your  Release  and  Freedom!
We, who  have  attained  the Victory,  know  all your  Re-
quirements,  perhaps  far better  than  you  could  even  imag-
ine. When  We  say to you,  We know  your  Victory  is CER-
TAIN,  can you  not accept  It and  let the Quality  which  We
are knowing  for you,  enter  in and  perform  Its Perfect  Serv-
ice for you ? It seems  to Me It is quite  practical,  quite  logical.
Your  teacher  who  taught  you  mathematics,  who  taught
you English,  had  attained  such  knowledge  up to that  point,
wherein  he or she was  your  teacher.  Today,  We who  have
attained  Freedom  offer  Our  Services  to you;  because  We
have  attained!  Then  you  should  be as open  to This  Help  a
far more  Transcendent  Privilege,  than  you  were  to your
teacher  in the schools  of the physical  world.
It is all quite  as practical;  still  It is Transcendent,  It is
Unusual!  Try  to feel This,  Beloved  Ones,  and  no longer  let
human  concepts  cause  you  to doubt  again  and  fear.  If
someone  came  to you  and  said,  there  was  something  won-
derful,  marvelous,  over  here  in one  of your  magnificent
buildings—would  you  hesitate  to go and  see for yourself,
what  it was  and  that  it was  there ? Would  you  disbelieve
someone  and  think  that  Chicago  was  not in existence;  be-DISCOURSE  VIII  55
cause  you  had  not been  there,  or in Los  Angeles ? Do you
not see how  inconsistent  the human  intellect  is? It joyously,
willingly  accepts  some  things  and  rebels  tremendously  at
others;  most  of the time  at the things  which  would  give  it
the Greatest  Freedom.
Beloved  Saint  Germain  has  brought  to you  This  Tran-
scendent  Knowledge  of the "I AM"—every  Word  of which
is True,  Vital,  Living,  Powerful!  It is your  Freedom!  The
Messengers  have  pled  with  you,  offering  so kindly  every
angle  of Explanation;  which  will  enable  you  to compre-
hend  and  understand,  that  It is your  Application  in your

 causes a number of symptoms,the most common of which is the onset of irregular periods,which may start occurring sporadically and be of shorter thanusual duration. This reflects a drop in estrogen levels. At thesame time, a drop in progesterone levels may cause women toexperience an increase in PMS (premenstrual syndrome) orcramps, a drop in libido, an increase in weight, and moredifficulty in thinking.
Eventually, estrogen and progesterone levels will fall to a
level where they can no longer prepare the uterus for bleeding—menopause has begun.
Some women go through this phase of their lives with few
or no symptoms. Other women develop hot flashes, nightsweats, and other symptoms and become very uncomfortable.
But no matter how you look at it, menopause is a very
natural condition that all women eventually go through. Theproblem is that the medical system has taken this naturalcondition and turned it into a disease that has to be treated.
Back in the 1960s, Robert Wilson, M.D., a gynecologist in
New York City, published a book called
Feminine Forever, in
which he said that when women go through menopause, “theyenter a ‘vapid cow-like state’ and became very unpleasantcompanions for their husbands.” He evidently felt womenshould be treated for their husband’s benefit, not for their own.80 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  He received tremendous financial backing from the makers of
Premarin, who helped publish his book and sent him on anation-wide tour so he could promote Premarin to otherphysicians around the country.
THE CONTROVERSY OVER PREMARIN
Let me say a few words about Premarin. The name of this
manufactured estrogen compound actually delineates itssource: pregnant mares’ urine. There are about 100 moleculesof estrogen in this preparation, but only one of them is similarto a human estrogen. Although it is considered a “natural”hormone since it is derived from a natural substance, clearly itis natural only for horses.
Premarin became the largest-selling drug in the world.
However, eventually a darker side to hormone replacementtherapy emerged. It is estimated that in the first ten years afterthe manufacturer started the Premarin market campaign,somewhere between 200,000 and 2,000,000 women developedcancer of the uterus. However, instead of removing Premarinfrom the market, the drug company added Provera to it.Although this synthetic progesterone reduced the risk ofuterine cancer, it quadrupled a woman’s chances of gettingbreast cancer from the estrogen.
Along the way, the drug company started ascribing certain
benefits to estrogen replacement therapy without the means toback up their claims.
They claimed that estrogen was beneficial for women with
osteoporosis, and yet no study has shown estrogen to reverse thiscondition. We know that estrogen can help delay the onset ofosteoporosis, but only temporarily. In 1999, the FDA finally elim-inated osteoporosis as an indication for using estrogen.81 MENOP AUSE AND PERIMENOPAUSE  They also claimed that estrogen is good for the heart.
However, every long-term study of estrogen has indicated thatit causes an increase in the incidence of heart attacks andstrokes. It is contra-indicated in coronary artery disease andcerebrovascular disease, so I fail to see the claimed benefit ofestrogen in these conditions.
In order to determine once and for all the benefits of
long-term treatment with estrogen, the largest study ever ofhormone replacement therapy was conducted, beginning in1997. Called the Women’s Health Initiative, it involved track-ing the health of about 162,000 women. It was proposed asan eight-year study to monitor women on Premarin/Proveratherapy. There was a side study of Premarin by itself amongwomen who did not have a uterus.
T wo years into the study they started getting some alarming
statistics, but they continued with the research. However, after5
½years it was decided to stop the study for ethical reasons.
The data was showing a significantly higher number of aggres-sive-type breast cancers along with a higher incidence ofcardiovascular complications in those women on thePremarin/Provera combination.
When the Premarin/Provera arm of the study was halted in
the summer of 2002, it was front page news in every paper inAmerica; it was the cover story of all the news magazines andbecame fodder for TV news programs and talk shows. For thefirst time in history, women were made aware of a truth thathad been known in some circles for 30 years: that estrogenreplacement therapy might not be safe.
The consistent recommendation put forth in the media
was: go talk to your health care practitioner. However, ifdoctors had been aware of the similar results found by priorstudies done in the 1990s, they might not have started theirpatients on these drugs in the first place or continued them.82 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  Their responses to their patients’ concerns about the study’s
findings ran along the lines of: “Don’t worry about it” or “Thebenefits outweigh the risks” (they don’t) or “It’s your decision.”
The other arm of the study, Premarin by itself, was stopped
in March of 2004 because, once again, the risks proved tooutweigh the potential benefits.
SUZANNE SOMERS—THE PROS AND CONS
Into this morass of contradictory information about hormones
walked celebrity/author Suzanne Somers. With her book
The Sexy Years, published in 2004, and a follow-up book
called Ageless, published in 2006, Ms. Somers propelled
herself into position as the new advocate for hormonereplacement therapy.
Her books demonstrated some amazingly positive attrib-
utes. For the first time in history, women at large were madeaware of bio-identical hormones—natural hormones that areidentical to their own hormones and can be obtained fromcompounding pharmacies. No longer did they have to subjectthemselves to synthetic drugs that mimic hormones, nor didthey have to take hormones appropriate for horses ratherthan humans.
Another tremendous benefit of Ms. Somers’ books was
their insistence that women have to become pro-active abouttheir health; they cannot rely on the traditional medical systemto keep them healthy.
However, Ms. Somers makes some points in her books that
I feel require clarification.
First off, just because a hormone is bio-identical does not
necessarily mean that it is safe. Hormones are extremely potentsubstances and must be used judiciously. Some of the doctorswho Ms. Somers interviewed are very strong proponents of83 MENOP AUSE AND PERIMENOPAUSE  estrogen. She quotes one doctor as stating that the only time a
woman is healthy is when she is having her periods. T o achievethis aim, this doctor provides her post-menopausal patientswith exceptionally high levels of estrogen in order to have themre-start menstruation. She has patients in their 80s and 90sbleeding every month and bent over with menstrual cramps.These women, needless to say, are intentionally put into thedangerous condition of estrogen dominance.
/Wswashomen never stop making estrogen.
/Wswashomen do stop making progesterone.
In my own practice, the sickest women I have ever seen are
those who had been estrogen dominant, or were estrogendominant when I first met them.
Let me remind you that anytime you utilize either a
hormone or a drug, you have to weigh the benefits versus therisks. I look at estrogen as primarily a toxic hormone. It isknown to cause six different cancers in women: breast, uterine,ovarian, cervical, vaginal, and colon cancers. It may causeAlzheimer’s disease, strokes, heart attacks, and phlebitis withfatal pulmonary emboli. It may cause fibroids, endometriosis,adhesions, fibrocystic disease, asthma, migraine headaches,and gallbladder disease. It can lead to auto-immune diseases,such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis,and others.
Estrogen is the hormone that causes women to experience
menstrual cramps, PMS, breast tenderness, and nausea whenthey are pregnant. T o add insult to injury, estrogen is lipogenic.It creates fat around the hips, thighs, and buttocks, and it is thecause of cellulite. T ry telling women with a number of theseproblems that they are healthy because they are having periodsand you might find yourself in an argument.84 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  It is surprising to me that Suzanne Somers, who already
had estrogen-induced breast cancer (she used to call estrogenher “happy pills”), is proposing that women take what Iconsider exceedingly high levels of estrogen. Not a week goesby when I do not see a patient who had an estrogen-inducedcancer while they were still having their periods. In otherwords, their own estrogen caused these cancers—it does notget more “bio-identical” than your own hormones.
Interestingly, every problem, every complication, every
downside to estrogen is eliminated by progesterone (not to beconfused with Provera, or medroxyprogesterone, a syntheticchemical having no relationship to natural progesterone). Anytime high levels of estrogen, such as those proposed bySuzanne Somers’ books, are prescribed, a sufficient amount ofprogesterone must be prescribed to be protective. I believe thelevels of progesterone recommended in her books are woefully


 lay at the heart of Jeanne’ s difficulties
was a tendency to pre-reject herself. Instead of assuming that she must be
imperfect, she could start noticing how her husband really feels. In my
experience, if you are getting stuck in negativity, you’re likely to assume
that other people feel the same way about you, and mostly that’s not true.
People who really love you keep on loving you, even when you’re not
loving yourself.At an unconscious level Jeanne’ s pre-rejection of herself has kept her on
the lookout for the slightest reason that someone else should also reject her.
The more accepting others are, the more she believes she has to be vigilant.
The hidden belief here is that the more loving her husband is, the smaller
the slip needed to destroy that love. In reality, love doesn’ t work this way.
Alan’ s deepenin g love for his wife would make him accept and forgive
more and more of what she sees as unworthy in herself. Thus the spiritual
truth is validated: the love you get is limited only by your ability to receive
it.
“It’s amazingly easy to shut someone else down,” I said. “Without
thinking about it we let pass countless occasions during the day when love
makes a tentative appearance—in other words, we turn our backs on spirit.
Your beloved may start to say something nice or give you an affectionate
touch or ask how you are feelin g. Notice how often this seed isn’t allowed
to grow, how quickly you simply cut the gesture of f or take it for granted. In
this way you limit the love you are receiving, rather than nurturing its faint
beginnings.”
“But I want Alan to love me,” Jeanne said. “Why would I cut off the very
thing I want?”
“Because negati vity inside says no when love is offered. Look at your
body language as well as your words, for you don’t have to say the word no
to shut Alan down. Do you detect a tendency to shrug, contract, bow your
head, or turn away when he tries to be loving? Keep the follow ing thought
in mind for similar situations:
Being shown a gestur e of love is like being offer ed a portion of God.
“Look into the eyes of your beloved and learn to believe that love is
really there. The ego, with all its fears and self-interests, blocks your ability
to perceive the portion of God that your beloved is offering you. Eventually
your expectations become self-f ulfilling; the more you shut down gestures
of love, the less motivated your beloved will be to make them.
“It isn’t easy to stop sending these automatic turnof f signals, but you can
take the first step by refusing to believe that no when someone else sees you
as lovable. Once you stop shutt ing love down, it will become easier to let
no be replaced by yes. This change shouldn’ t be forced. Allow Alan to payattention to you as much as he wants, without manipulation or rejection.
Start talking more about love in general with all those who are loving
toward you—they will enjoy this topic more than you realize.”
We were near the end of our time together, but Jeanne was a different
person from the woman who had walked in—she had the look of someone
much happier with herself. In parting I said, “When you find a genuinely
loving person, as you have, you will see that you are in his heart not
because you look a certain way or act a certain way, but because he is
following his own nature—loving others is just the easiest way he knows
how to be. Whe n you realize this, the whole problem of not deserving is
exposed for the illusion it really is.”
INFATUA TION
When attraction  reaches its peak, the phase known as infatuation begins. It
is the most delirious stage of love—immortalized by Romeo and Juliet,
Cyrano de Bergerac, and a thousand screen lovers—but it is also the most
controversial. It is a time of extravagant emotions and wild optimism.
Awareness of boundaries and limitations collapses, replaced by impossible
idealism, at least as seen by an outside observer. To her family Juliet was
not the sun or the moon, and Romeo’ s obsession with her was a danger to a
young girl’ s virtue and safety.
But outside standards matter not at all in this phase. Infatuated lovers
dwell so single-mindedly on their intoxicated emotions that they can hardly
eat or sleep, their work becomes only a distraction from their consuming
love.
Infatuation may be so extreme because it is a release from the loveless
constriction we call normal. In spiritual terms, being infatuated means
seeing another person as God, a divine being to be worshiped. In ancient
India, to truly see the divine and be bathed in its radiance was called Bhakti,
or devotion. From the devotional hymns of the Rig Veda, the oldest record
of human worship, to. the present, bhakti has been far and away the most
popular means of approaching  God. Religious worship, in the form of
prayers, offering s, and celebrations, is an all-consuming affair for a true
bhakta, who asks nothing more than to be intoxicated by the Lord.In the Old Testament, when the poet of the Song of Solomon rhapsodizes
about his love for God, his words gush as romantically as if he were
swooning over a woman:
You split me, tore my heart
open, filled me with love.
You poured your spirit into me;
I knew you as I know myself.
The parallel between a lover ’s intoxication and a saint’ s is impossible to
miss. It is in this phase of infatuation that lovers say they worship each
other. “I am in love with loving,” St. Augustine declares, echoing the
passions of a million secular lovers.
What makes romantic love seem so religious is this sense of merging.
The pouring of one spirit into another produces a ravishing ecstasy at its
most intense. Perhaps no word is more recurrent during the delirium of
infatuation than new. The release from old boundaries is like a birth that
makes all things new.
The source of this newness is not a new person, however, but a shift in
perception. The sensation of merging with another person comes about in
the brain. To date we have no biochemical explanation for the suddenness
and strength of this shift, although researchers have found that
neuropeptides associated with intense pleasure, in particular serotonin, are
elevated in lovers. Enhanced immune response in lovers is also well known
to medical researchers. Yet the scientific paradigm is hardly able to account
for the way romantic love can abolish the walls of separation that define the
self. There is an irreversible trend from early infancy to create a stronger
and stronger distinction between  entities called “me” and “you.” Normally
we don’t think of the natural separation between “me” and “you” as a
source of suffering. Yet no agony is worse for the bhakta, or devotee, than
to be away from God. In romance too the release from separation is so
liberating that it has the power of a religious illumination.
This is not to say that everyone who falls in love falls this hard.
Sometimes attraction builds slow ly, and other times the infatuation may be
one-sided. When the object of love doesn’ t respond, infatuation becomes a
self-centered preoccupation with fantasy. Spiritual masters have declared,
however, that even when love is returned one is truly inspired by one’s ownhigher Self. The reason that the word Self is more  appropr iate than the word
soul is that it accen tuates how love’ s journey is totally contained  within
one’s own being.
The insights of this phase center on the ecstatic mer ging of self and Self:
Merging with another person is illusion; mer ging with the Self is supr eme r eality.
If infatuation is madness, sanity pales beside it.
The infatuated vision of lovers is like the holy vision of saints.
BETWEEN  TWO WORLDS
Curiously, falling in love has a poor reputation among psycholo gists, going
back to Freud, who fiercely ridiculed the spiritual meaning of romance. He
viewed it as a primitive regression—his term for any retreat from adult self-
control to infantile instincts and drives. Regression had previously been
exalted as sacred, at least in literary circles. The greatest of English
Romantic poets, William Wordsworth, articulated a common belief that
childhood is the holiest time of life. Wordsworth describes a divinely
inspired conditi on of infancy, when we are still bathed in light from the
celestial world before birth:
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home.
By being born, Wordsworth believed, an infant drops into a darker world,
but for a while the perception of holiness lingers; as he goes on to say,
“Heaven lies about us in our infancy,” meaning that the state of innocence
itself turns earth into a paradis e. By some fortunate chance Wordsworth
himself could still recall that earliest time when his surroundings were
“apparelled in celestial light.” But the loss of this radiant innocence had to
come, as it does for all: “At length the Man perceives it die away,/and fade
into the light of common day.”
The condition described


 “After twenty- five
years,” he said to me, “I will get a pension and re-tire.”
I said to this young man, “Why don’t you own your own store? Get
out of this place. Raise your sights! Have a dream for your children.
Maybe your son wants to be a doctor; perhaps your daughter desires to
be a great musician.”
His answer was that he had no money! He began to awaken to t he
fact that whatever he could conceive as true, he could give conception.
 121  The first step toward his goal was his awakening to the pow ers of
his subconscious mind, which I briefly elaborated on for his be nefit.
His second step was his realization that if he could succeed i n
conveying an idea to his subconscious mind, the latter would
somehow bring it to pass.
He began to imagine that he was in his own store. He mentally
arranged the bottles, dispensed prescriptions, and imagined sev eral
clerks in the store waiting on customers. He also visual ized a big bank
balance. Mentally he worked in that imaginary store. Like a good
actor he lived the role. Act as though I am, and I will be. This
pharmacist put himself whole-heartedly into the act, living, mov ing,
and acting on the assump-tion that he owned the store.
The sequel was interesting. He was discharged from his position. He
found new employment with a large chain store, became manager, and
later on, district manager. He saved enough money in four years to
provide a down payment on a drugstore of his own. He called it his
“Dream Pharmacy.”
“It was,” he said, “exactly the store I saw in my imagina-ti on.” He
became a recognized success in his chosen field, and was happy doing
what he loved to do.
• Using the subconscious mind in business
Some years ago I gave a lecture to a group of businessmen on the
powers of imagination and the subconscious mind. In this lecture I
pointed out how Goethe used his imagination wisely when confronted
with difficulties and predicaments.
His biographers point out that he was accustomed to fill ma ny hours
quietly holding imaginary conversations. It is well known that hi s
custom was to imagine one of his friends before him in a chair
answering him in the right way. In other words, if he were concerne d
over any problems, he imagined his friend giving him the right  or
appropriate answer, accompanied with the usual gestures and tonal
qualities of the voice, and he made the entire imaginary scene as real
and as vivid as possible.
 122  One of the men present at this lecture was a young stock-broker. He
proceeded to adopt the technique of Goethe. He began to have menta l,
imaginary conversations with a multi-millionaire banker fri end of his
who used to congratulate him on his wise and sound judgment, and
compliment him on his purchase of the right stocks. He used to
dramatize this imaginary conversation until he had psychologica lly
fixed it as a form of belief in his mind.
This broker’s inner talking and controlled imagination certain ly
agreed with his aim, which was to make sound invest-ments for hi s
clients. His main purpose in life was to make money for his  clients
and to see them prosper financially by his wise counsel. He i s still
using his subconscious mind in his busi-ness, and he is a brill iant
success in his field of endeavor.
• Boy of sixteen years turns failure into success
A young boy who was attending high school said to me, “I am
getting very poor grades. My memory is failing. I do not know what i s
the matter.” I discovered that the only thing wrong with this boy was
his attitude, which was one of indifference (sự lãnh đạm, thờ ơ)  and
resentment (sự oán giận)  toward some of his teachers and fellow
students. I taught him how to use his subconscious mind, and how to
succeed in his studies.
He began to affirm certain truths several times a day particularly at
night prior to sleep, and also in the morning after awakening. The se
are the best times to impregnate (làm thấm nhuần)  the subconscious
mind.
He affirmed as follows: “I realize that my subconscious mi nd is a
storehouse of memory. It retains (giữ lại)  everything I read and hear
from my teachers. I have a perfect memory, and the infinite (vô tận, vô
hạn) intelligence in my subconscious mind constantly reveals to me
everything I need to know at all my examinations, whether writt en or
oral. I radiate love and good will to all my teachers and fellow
students. I sincerely wish for them success and all good things.”
 123  This young man is now enjoying a greater freedom than he has eve r
known. He is now receiving all “A’s.” He constantly imagines t he
teachers and his mother congratulating him on his success in his
studies.
• How to become successful in buying and selling
In buying and selling, remember that your conscious mind is the
starter and your subconscious mind is the motor. You must start the
motor to enable it to perform its work. Your conscious mind is th e
dynamo that awakens the power of your subconscious mind.
The first step in conveying your clarified desire, idea, or ima ge to
the deeper mind is to relax, immobilize the attention, get sti ll, and be
quiet. This quiet, relaxed, and peaceful attitude of mind pre vents
extraneous matter and false ideas from inter-fering with your mental
absorption of your ideal.
Furthermore, in the quiet, passive, and receptive attitude of mi nd,
effort is reduced to a minimum.
The second step is to begin to imagine the reality of that w hich you
desire. For example, you may wish to buy a home, and in your relaxed
state of mind affirm as follows: “The infinite intelligenc e of my
subconscious mind is all-wise. It reveals to me now the ideal  home,
which is central, ideal, is in a lovely environ-ment, meets with all my
requirements, and is commensurate with my income. I am now turning
this request over to my sub-conscious mind, and I know it responds
according to the nature of my request. I release this reques t with
absolute faith and confidence in the same way that a farmer deposits a
seed in the ground, trusting implicitly in the laws of growth.”
The answer to your prayer may come through an advertise-ment in
the paper, through a friend, or you may be guided directly to a
particular home, which is exactly what you are seeking. There are
many ways by which your prayer may be answered. The princip al
knowledge, in which you may place your confidence, is that the
answer always comes, provided you trust the working of your deeper
mind.
 124  You may wish to sell a home, land, or any kind of prop-erty. In
private consultation with real estate brokers I have told t hem of the
way I sold my own home on Orlando Avenue in Los Angeles. Many
of them have applied the technique I used with remarkable and sp eedy
results. I placed a sign which read, “For sale by owner” in t he garden
in front of my home. The day after I said to myself as I was going to
sleep, “Supposing you sold your house, what would you do?”
I answered my own question and I said, “I would take that sign
down and throw it into the garage.” In my imagination I took hold of
the sign, pulled it up from the ground, placed it on my shoulder, went
to the garage, threw it on the floor, and said jokingly to the sig n, “I
don’t need you any more!” I felt the inner satisfaction of it a ll,
realizing it was finished.
The next day a man gave me a deposit of $1,000 and said to me,
“Take your sign down. We will go into escrow now.”
Immediately I pulled the sign up and took it to the garage. T he outer
action conformed to the inner. There is nothing new about this. As
within, so without, meaning according to the image impressed on your
subconscious mind, so it is on the objective screen of your life. The
outside mirrors the inside. External action follows internal action.
Here is another very popular method used in selling homes, la nd, or
any kind of property. Affirm slowly, quietly, and feelingly as f ollows:
“Infinite intelligence attracts to me the buyer for this home who wants
it and who prospers in it. This buyer is being sent to me by the
creative intelligence of my subconscious mind, which makes no
mistakes. This buyer may look at many other homes, but mine is t he
only one he wants and will buy, because he is guided by the infi nite
intelligence within him. I know the buyer is right, the time i s right,
and the price is right. Everything about it is right. The deepe r currents
of my subconscious mind are now in operation bringing both of us
together in divine order. I know that it is so.”
Remember


 will produce very good results for those afflicted with bowel disturbances.

THE FUNCTIONING OF THE BOWEL
We have to stop and think tha t when we eat there is peristaltic action in the bowel which moves the food down to the last part of
our elimination system, the large colon. Whenever we have three meals a day and a bowel movement once in five days, we’re
fifteen meals behind. Normally it  takes eighteen hours for food to go through the body and be eliminated. What is required to
move it along on time? Good bowel tone gives the power to the intestinal tract to move waste materials properly through the
system. If we don’t have good bowel ton e, we have to have an inciting measure, and one way of doing this is by using laxatives.
But we find that 95% of all laxatives are irritating to the bowel, and this is what forces the peristaltic action. It is caus ed by
irritation. Wouldn’t it be better to  have a bowel that could move along because you have the right power and bowel tone?
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a bowel wall that has all the potassium and all the right chemical elements to work normally?

We find there are other factors involved here, s uch as the liver activity. We have to have enough bile coming from the gall bladder
and the liver to give the bowel its natural incentive to produce bowel movements. The bowel is dependent upon other organs to o.
There is also the thyroid gland which is imp ortant to the body’s metabolism. The thyroid regulates a number of organ functions
and keeps them normal by releasing thyroxin into the body. The adrenal glands may be underactive. A person can feel so tired and
fatigued that he won’t exercise. You have to  feel lively to move and get going. An underactive thyroid can bring on low blood
pressure and anemia can keep us from a healthy level of physical activity. If the blood is anemic, the body tissue is anemic and
cannot do its job. We are tired “all over,” s o to speak.

CLEANING UP THE PAST
Above all, we now have to make amends for some of the things that happened in the past. I think accumulations in the bowel ha ve
to be looked after. The bowel is underactive. It hasn’t been fed properly. The bowel itself is  probably the most abused organ in the
human body. The reason I say this is if you ever go through a cleansing program, you will see things you’ll find hard to beli eve.
You don’t realize what can come out of the bowel. After just one cleansing treatment, I ’ve seen as much as three gallons of hard
toxic material come from a person. How is it possible? I know, for instance, of one woman who said she had five bowel
movements a day; but after she passed away, it was found that there was only room enough for a p encil to pass through
parts of her bowel. Her bowel was 9 inches across. We found that it had an extreme accumulation of hard toxic material encrus ted
on the bowel lining. Constipation is a serious menace to health and vitality as I have discussed with yo u. The consequences of this
common but subtle malady are becoming more and more prevalent in our society. It is a root cause for many troubles in the bod y.
It is also a symptom of a larger picture that many doctors haven’t taken into consideration as yet. The following illustrations show
how food moves through the gastrointestinal tract in a 24 -hour period and what happens when the bowel doesn’t eliminate on time:

CHAPTER 5
IMBALANCES OF THE LARGE INTESTINE
Structural, functional and metabolic imbalances of the colon are manifested in various forms. We will mention a few of the more
common abnormalities of the colon to illustrate the effects of autointoxication and constipation. These are: adhesions, ballo oning,
colitis, diverticulitis, mucosal dysfunction, spastic bowel, strictures and ulceration. Adhesions in the colon are caused by
inflammations and irritations to the bowel wall. When the mucus membrane breaks down, tissue becomes exposed, open and
irritated. The raw surfaces begin to stick to gether as the result of glue -like substance secreted from the tissue. This is a serious
condition and requires delicate treatment to correct. Ballooning of the colon occurs as a consequence of backed up feces. For
various reasons, feces can accumulate and stretch the bowel wall into enormous proportions. This often occurs in the sigmoid
colon as the result of a narrowing of the bowel lumen below the ballooning. This narrowing can be caused by adhesions, spasm or
colic conditions. When this occurs, constipat ion can become quite severe and painful and has a damaging effect upon the bowel
structure and function. Colitis is an irritable bowel condition that is highly associated with Psychological distress. Few pe ople truly
realize the benefits of a calm and peac eful lifestyle. They are often unaware of the mind’s ability to sink into the body’s
functioning ability and upset normal tissue activities. Fear, anger, depression, stress, tension, worries and obsessions can all upset
delicate processes in the body, and in particular, those of digestion and elimination. Sometimes what we need is a good cerebral
laxative to rid the mind of emotional autointoxication and constipation. Diverticular disease of the colon is occurring at an  ever-
increasing rate. It is a serious  bowel disturbance leading to many difficulties and must be avoided. When the diet is lacking in bulk
or fiber, the colonic muscle must work extremely hard to force feces through the organ. Where there is weakness in muscle fib ers a
hernia occurs, producin g a small pouch or sac -like protrudence in the tissue. It looks like a blister on the side of a tire where the air
is forcing its way to the surface through a weak spot in the tire wall. These sacs, or diverticula, are blind in one end. The refore
feces acc umulate within them and hold morbid matter in which a variety of very unfavorable organisms can begin to breed.
They become sources of infection, inflammation and degenerative conditions. They are also the host for the production of
powerful toxins, adding  to an already over -burdened and toxic body. I have seen X -rays of the colon in which there were 142 of
these little sacs on one bowel. When these diverticula become inflamed and irritated, we have a case of diverticulitis. Shoul d any
one of these festerin g sacs produce a rupture, then we have a grave situation in which life is threatened by the release of these very
poisonous substances into the abdominal cavity of the body where infection can spread quite rapidly.

Mucosal dysfunction occurs when the inte stinal mucus lining becomes stagnant and putrefactive. It begins to develop many
unfavorable conditions. No longer does it serve the function of facilitating elimination of fecal material. Instead it degene rates in
several ways. It can become abcessed, in which case irritations, abrasions, ulcerations and bleeding can occur. Food passage
can be very painful. Mucus can dehydrate and accumulate due to increased viscid consistency. This causes layer upon layer to be
built up until extreme constipation occurs. This old material becomes a source of infection and toxic absorption, holding many
otherwise excreted products. It also greatly inhibits the absorption of nutrients and water, adding to nutritional crisis. A spastic
bowel is often associated with colitis. The point I want to stress is that when bowel muscle or any muscle is overworked, tense and
not given an opportunity to rest, it will go into a spasm. Muscle spasm is a chronic tightening of the fibers due to hyperact ivity in
the nerve impulses controlling  muscle action. The symptoms frequently manifest as constipation, alternating with diarrhea. Mental
and emotional stresses are high on the list of contributing factors, coupled with chronic toxemia and poor diet.

A stricture of the bowel usually occurs af ter an inflammatory disease such as colitis has damaged the tissue. It is a chronic
narrowing of the passageway that often results in a backup of feces that are unable to pass through. The feces accumulate in front
of the stricture, causing ballooning, whi le the segment just past the stricture collapses. Ulceration of the bowel occurs due to
irritations, abrasions, infections and toxic concentrations settling in or on muscle tissue. This results in open sores, blee ding and
much pain as is common in hemorrho ids, etc. The sigmoid and rectum are the sites for most of these troubles. Again,
autointoxication and constipation are the root causes.

THE FOLLOWING DRAWINGS ILLUSTRATE THE VARIOUS ABNORMAL SHAPES OF THE BOWEL IN COMPARISON
TO A NORMAL BOWEL.

There should be no doubt about the relation between health of the intestinal tract and health in the rest of the body. Intest inal
management probably is the most important thing a person can learn in a health -building routine. Some of the most important
functions of life take place in the intestines. Through it worn out cells are eliminated and new cell structures have their be ginning.

At the Battle Creek Sanitarium I heard Dr.


(When my late husband developed a bedsore in his frail state with his paralysis from his brain tumor, we were never, ever able to heal the bedsore despite a myriad of medications and concoctions from his doctors and hospice nurses. Once skin 44 breakdown from malnutrition occurs, it is very hard if not impossible to stop the process.)  I was ecstatic to see the healing power of mothers’ milk at work once again!    God works in amazing ways!  The day after I received Jackie’s initial email offering her gift of breast milk for Bill’s healing, I received another email from a lactation consultant who is in charge of Sacramento’s WIC Breastfeeding programs.  Amelia had an employee who was making an abundant amount of milk for her baby and had large amounts of excess breastmilk stored in her freezer.  She asked if we would be interested in using some of her donated milk to help heal Bill!  Again, there were tears of joy streaming down Bill’s face from his grateful heart for these dear mothers who wanted to share their healing milk.   As a lactation consultant I had heard about donor breast milk used to treat cancer patients when I attended lactation conferences.  It is known as Human Milk Therapy.  The use of Mother’s Milk to treat conditions such as immune deficiency and cancer is commonly known as Human Milk Therapy.  However, I had never personally known anyone who used breast milk to treat cancer.    Bill received donations of human milk from three other donors, including his niece, Aleia.  Through the generous donations of human milk, we were able to provide Bill with the recommended therapeutic dosage throughout his acute phase of aggressive radiation and chemotherapy.  It was amazing to see the many health benefits for Bill's recovery from cancer.    I truly wonder if Bill would have survived the severity of the aggressiveness of his radiation and chemo if he had not had the life supporting properties of mother’s milk.  I remember one day, Bill was just released from the hospital for his severe nausea, vomiting, malnutrition and dehydration.  His oncologist told us to get Bill immediately to the emergency room if he spiked a fever greater than 100.  Well, his first day home from the hospital, he became really red, hot, feverish, felt really lousy and his temperature was rising to over 100. We had just began using human milk therapy a few days before, so I doubled his dose to 6 ounces via his GT tube and his fever came down within the hour and we did not need to take him to the emergency department.  This was so wonderful!   Bill was in immense pain from the aggressive radiation to his entire throat region.  He was on large doses of pain relievers to  We did not tell his doctors initially about using human milk therapy until Bill’s third hospitalization for hydration and pain control.  For a few weeks, the only nutrition he received was his IV fluids and human milk in his GT tube.  He would throw up 45 everything else up.  At the end of his third hospitalization, the doctors began Bill back on a special formula to boost his calories.  This is when we told his nutritionist about the doses of human milk therapy we were giving to Bill.  She was fine with human milk therapy as long as we were not relying on this for his caloric needs.  We assured her we were primarily using human milk therapy for it’s anti-cancer therapy.  The doctors and nutritionists appeared just fine with this.    Another great benefit we noticed human milk provided for Bill was the protective benefits to the sensitive mucous lining of his mouth and throat that were receiving enormous amounts of daily radiation.  Bill’s oncologist kept expecting large holes and burns in the back of his mouth and throat.  He couldn’t understand why his tissues weren’t full of sores.  We just smiled REALLY big at each of our visits with his radiologist who was so happy with Bill’s progress.    The best news came at Bill’s 3 month PET scan revealing Bill to be cancer free!   This journey through tonsilar and throat cancer has been a very long, hard and painful journey for Bill, however the gifts of mothers’ milk from each of these loving mothers blessed Bill and I beyond words.  Our hearts are very grateful for the wonderful care Bill received from his health care team and the loving donations of life giving milk from these wonderful mothers.    PS Bill is now 3 years cancer free!   [1] Ballentine, Rudolph, Diet and Nutrition: A Holistic Approach, 1978. Pgs. 124-124.

I regularly suffered from stomach cramps, neck and shoulder disorders and forgetfulness. My general practitioner could not find anything wrong with me. I went to an orthomolecular doctor, who ran a blood test and discovered that I had fungus in my blood, including candida. The fungal infection interfered with my kidney and liver functions, the gall production was too low and there was too much calcium in my blood. The doctor prescribed an anti-candida diet, nutritional supplements and vitamins. I had heard about urine therapy, and decided to try it instead I fasted on urine and spring water. Four days later, I had my blood tested again. My doctor was dumbfounded, as the fasting cure so clearly improved the quality of my blood. My immune system started to fight the fungus. New blood photos showed that the calcium was no longer present in my blood and that the intestinal flora had improved.       I continued the cure for three weeks and ate bread without yeast. vegetables and fruit and every morning I drank a glass of urine. I kept getting better, had much more energy and needed less sleep. After these three weeks I switched over to the anti-candida diet plus one glass of morning urine per day. I never felt better!

, Ken Wilbur, and Barbara Marx Hubbard make the same point.
More a nd more we are coming to understand that we are something other than  the body,
other than  the mind, and yes, even other than  the soul. We are all three combined, and the
Whole is indeed greater than the sum of its parts.
The Whole Being that we are is pure energy —which might be called Spirit. Your body is
an energy package. So, too, is your mind. Likewise, your soul. In short, you are a spiritual
being having a physical experience.
Physicality should be understood to be  illusory in the sense that it is neither where you are
nor who you are.
Where you really are is in the place of Pure Being. This is also who  you are. In the
Kingdom of God, who you are, where you are, when you are, and what you are, are all the
same thing.
You need to consider the implications of that statement for a while. You really do. I
mean, we all do. It is our failure to consider those implications that creates the illusion in
which we live —and the misery in which humanity is daily enmeshed.
I said tha t... who you are, where you are, when you are, and what you are, are all the
same thing. I call this same thing “God.” You can call it anything you wish, but you cannot
ignore it, nor pretend that this larger context within which Life expresses itself d oes not
exist.
We are talking here about your very Essence. This is the raw Energy of Life itself. That
Energy, that Essence is not physical, but it became  physical in order to Know Itself in its
own Experience. For this is the triumvirate expression of Divinity:

The miracle of physicality is accomplished by The Energy and The Essence through a
process that could best be described as “a quickening of the s pirit.”
The primal sound of the Universe is the lowest note in the score of God’s symphony. It is
the sound of om...  a rumble so deep, it almost sounds ominous. In recent years, deep -space
listening devices have actually been able to pick up this sound.  It is the Original Vibration. It
is The Energy and The Essence, oscillating at its slowest speed.
When this speed increases, the pitch goes up, from a deep rumble to the gentle melody
of life as we know it. Everything begins with the First Vibration. Ever ything begins with
sound (“In the beginning was the Word....”). And The Sound said, Let there be Light. And it
oscillated Itself so fast that its very Essence became white hot. And Light was born.
And then, through the simple yet elegant process of shif ting its oscillation between
various frequencies, The Energy and The Essence produced other manifestations of
physicality. And the deep sound of om became the sweet sight of life. (“And the Word was
made flesh, and dwelt among us.”)
The faster The Energy a nd The Essence vibrated —that is, the higher the frequency  of its
oscillations —the more solid that which is not solid appeared.
Think of it this way: if a point of energy can move rapidly enough in a straight line
between Point A and Point B, it will appear  to be at neither Point A nor Point B, but at every
point in between. Its incomprehensible speed makes it appear to the human eye to be
nowhere in particular at any given moment, but everywhere at once —because it is moving
so fast, we can’t “spot” it in an y single block of time and space. Therefore, the rapidity of its
movement makes it appear as a solid line  between A and B.
You can prove this to yourself with a little experiment. Paste a big black dot on the end
of a transparent straw. Now hold the straw in front of your face and move it left -to-right
against the background of a white wall. You will see the dot move, of course, and you will
be able to point out exactly where it is at any moment. Now, increase the speed with which
you move the dot, finally getting to the place where you are moving your hand back and
forth so fast that the dot cannot be seen as being in one place or the other, but, in fact, in all
places at once. If you squint just a bit this will appear to the naked eye to be a straight line.
The human mind cannot compute the data that it is seeing fast enough to keep up with
the new  data it is seeing. The data stream is faster than the mind’s ability to analyze it.
Therefore, the mind does not know what it is seeing.
The world is 2 percent m atter and 98 percent space, but it looks to us “for all the world”
as if it is exactly the other way around.
Thus, we live in a world of our illusion. Yet it was purposefully created this way by the
Originating Intelligence. The mind is a device beautifull y designed to analyze a limited
amount of data from an unlimited source. It was never intended  to comprehend all of it at
once. That is the job of the soul.
Likewise, the body is a device.
Your body is the physicalization of Spirit in a particular form in a particular place at a
particular time for a particular purpose having to do with the Particularization of Every
Particle of The All.  The All is that which is not particular. It is Everything —and therefore, it is nothing in
particular. Yet The Everything could not experience Itself as Everything, since there was
Nothing Else with which to compare it. So, It chose to individuate  Itself in order that All
That Is could experience Itself as something in particular.
This Process of Particularization created wha t I have here called the Realm of the
Physical. Again, it is a process by which the primal vibration simply increased the
frequency of its oscillation.
The All of you is wonderful —that is, full of wonder —yet your body is the least of these.
Next comes your  mind, and the most wonderful of all is your soul. Your mind is so wonder -
full that it can actually impact your body... and, indeed, all things physical.
That is, your mind can create your physical reality. I said... your mind can create your
physica l reality.
Not only can it  do this, it is doing this. Your mind is creating your reality every minute of
every day, whether you know it or not. The question is not whether the You that you are is
creating your reality, the question is only whether you are doing it consciously or
unconsciously.
You make things physical in your reality through a quickening of the Spirit. This is the
benefit of what you might call fast thinking. You know how people are praised for being a
fast thinker? There is more to that ap pellation than you might have imagined.
You would be amazed at how fast your mind can think. It can think twice as fast as it
ordinarily thinks through the simple process of ignoring all Past Data. You might call this
Skipping Past the Past. And the extrao rdinary insight is that you can instruct your mind to
do this; you can train your mind to do this.
How? How can you train your mind to ignore everything it thinks it knows about a
subject? By making a quantum leap to the awareness of the soul.
Always, in e very moment, the decision you get to make is, shall I consider the data of the
mind or the awareness of the soul? When you move to the awareness of the soul you raise
your consciousness to the top of the triangle, to the place of Being.
To be or not to be, that is the question.
Now here is the irony of how everything I’ve just described works... are you ready for
the supreme irony? This is a secret of secrets; that which no one has ever told you:
In order to access the awareness of the soul, you need to slow down.
Now wait a minute! Didn’t I just say that you had to “think fast”? Yes! You have to think
fast when things are happening around you... fast enough to tell yourself to slow down.
The fi rst thing your mind will want to do when incoming data is deluging you is analyze
the data  and present you with all your options for response. It does this very, very rapidly. In
order for you to short -circuit this process you must “think fast.” So fast th at as your mind
begins to take you deep into your Past Data about what is going on right now, you literally
stop your mind from going there. You Skip Past Your Past.
Then you re -route your energy (your mind, you know, is electrical energy! You can
physical ly measure the impulses). You route your energy to Awareness rather than Data.
This is like switching tracks in a train yard, from the track that just goes back around to where the train has just been, to a spur that takes it to a place of rest. You can do  this quite
literally on the spur of the moment, moving from the mind to the soul. You know how some
people are described as having a “one -track mind”? This is about changing that. There are
times when


 socket at the base of the skull. When you open and close
your jaw, this "ball" rotates in its socket, and — if the teeth push the jaw too far in
any direction — the soft tissues between the bones are pinched.
One trouble that sometimes follows this pinching is a slow loss of hearing, says one
authority on TMJ disorders. He cites the case of a man who was losing his hearing
and had been wearing a hearing aid for two years before he learned of equilibration.
He had not noticed any discomfort at the joints in front of his ears, nor that his teeth
were not meeting properly, but suspected that his teeth might somehow be causing
stress. Se he went to his dentist, who made the necessary changes on the chewing
surfaces of his teeth. Three days later, the patient's hearing had improved to such an
77
Winning The Cancer War
extent that he discarded his hearing aid. He has not needed it since. That was nine
years ago, and his hearing is still good.
Not all patients respond so quickly nor so completely as that, of course, and there
are many other causes of deafness, the authority points out — but pressure at the TMJ
should not be overlooked.
Besides hearing trouble, this authority says, stress in the TMJ can cause neuralgia,
stiff neck, running ears and itching ears. He tells of a woman who suffered from
itching ears so much that in company she often had to excuse herself from the room
to scratch her ears. X-ray pictures showed both Temporomandibular joints to be out
of normal adjustment. After her dentist corrected the chewing surfaces of her teeth,
the itching gradually left. (X-ray pictures showed that the joints are now in proper
adjustment.)
It is not uncommon for stress in the TMJ to bring on head noises. A patient who
wore artificial dentures in which the teeth were out of adjustment, forcing the left side
of his jaw backward until the joint on that side was under considerable stress,
experienced almost immediate relief from roaring sounds in his ears after being
treated by his dentist. This was several years ago, and the roaring sound has not
returned.
Although the connection between stress in the TMJ and the troubles cited is not
fully understood, it is known that there is a connection, because when the condition
in the joint is corrected the troubles often disappear.
How does the dentist restore the joints to a normal condition of equilibrium? As
part of the treatment he may change the slopes of the natural or artificial teeth, or
make the teeth higher or lower to bring the chewing muscles into proper working
relationship. Sometimes he reduces pressure on the front teeth so that the chewing
forces fall more on the back teeth. (If the ball parts of the lower jaw have been
pushed too far up into their sockets, this "pivoting" allows them to settle down again
into their normal relaxed positions.)
As the TMJ authority notes, one advantage of equilibration treatment is that it can
be done in the dental office and, in many instances, saves the patient from the more
radical treatments of surgery or the injection of chemicals into the joints. Quite often,
in fact, equilibration is the only treatment needed.
As with other treatment, preventing trouble is an important aim of TMJ diagnosis.
Because TMJ stress sometimes builds up gradually, with the patient suffering no
inconvenience at first, the lower jaw and its joints are often checked for equilibrium
78
Winning The Cancer War
to prevent trouble.
Dentists, Physicians Team Up To Treat TMJ Disorders
Dentists and physicians all over the world are teaming up for diagnosis and
treatment of TMJ disorders. (One physician-dentist reported improvement in over
85% of more than 1,000 patients treated with pivoting; another physician-dentist
team reported that 52 of 54 patients obtained relief from dizziness after equilibration.)
In 1955 many dentists and physicians from the U.S. and abroad organized as the
American Equilibration Society to further more intensive study of the TMJ and related
structures.
CranioSacral Therapy
This is a very gentle, non-invasive hands-on approach that focuses on the
craniosacral system of the body. This system consists of the membranes and
cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. It extends
from the bones of the skull, face and mouth — which make up the cranium — down
to the sacrum, or tailbone.
This system has been effective in evaluating and treating problems associated with
pain and dysfunction, lowered vitality, and recurring infections. The light touch
employed in this approach encourages your own natural mechanisms to improve the
functioning of your brain and spinal cord, to dissipate the negative effects of stress
and to enhance your general health and resistance to disease.
Craniosacral therapy by Osteopaths, Chiropractors and Dentists has proven to
help people who complain of ringing in the ears (tinnitus) and some forms of
hearing loss.
Many have asked Dr. Kelley this question:
"I have a friend losing the lung cancer battle. Does your program help those in later
states of cancer? Chemotherapy and radiation have not worked for him."
Dr. Kelley's answer:
There is only one solution to any cancer.— The Kelley Metabolic Program. In
reviewing the medical literature today from 1889 it has been well established, "there
is no cure for cancer after it has been interfered with. All cancer reacts by increased
growth to any injury mechanical or surgical, chemical, or thermal." The 1985
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Review of several thousands of my patients stated that
79
Winning The Cancer War
"cure rate of the Kelley Program was only 93% after the physicians had used Surgery,
Chemotherapy and Radiation" Of course this is the highest "cure rate" in medical
history. Exception was "pancreatic cancer" at a 100% "cure rate".
The denial of the KELLEY METABOLIC CANCER CURE PROGRAM is the denial
of truth and all known scientific proven understanding. This denial is common among
the Orthodox and Alternative medical communities. "Cure" is not in their vocabulary;
only "treatment" and "remission" for financial gain. Cancer victims are "expendable
as in experimental animals."
Should you or your friends, at this late terminal stage, choose to use our
program, and can follow the PROGRAM exactly for six months, there is a possibility
for help. There is nothing else that offers the remote possibility of success.

Spiritu a l Attitu d e
If y o u r cancer has ta u g h t you s p iritu a l tru th,
you have gained m uch.
If your cancer has caused you to stop, think, pray, and know God better, it has
been a blessing to you.
If your cancer has caused you to realize the importance and magnificence of this
temple wherein your soul dwells, you have been doubly blessed.
If your cancer has caused you to look within and ask the Christ to dwell within
you, you have been thrice blessed.
Often physical infirmities come to us for such a purpose. This was true in my own
case. The still, small voice within spoke out to guide and teach this Child of God.
Not all who have cancer w ill overcome the condition. Many w ill not believe that
such a simple treatment w ill work. Many w ill not have the opportunity to hear about
and try the procedure. Many w ill come too late with a temple (body) too weak to
respond. But, I  pray with all of you my friends, that you w ill learn a beautiful lesson
and learn it well. I  did.
Each of God's children is in an experience in their school (earth) each doing the
very best he or she can. Jesus said, "Judge not, that ye be not judged" (7 Matthew 1);
"This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I  have loved you." (15 John
12).
If your cancer has taught you spiritual truth, you have gained much. I  pray with
you and for you that at this point you have come to the realization that your spiritual
decision to get well or not to get well is your own responsibility. If you decide to go
home early, rejoice, for the Father prepares a place for you. Those of you who have
loved ones, who have made this decision, rejoice with them and send them on their
way into God's care.
If you decide to stay in school a little longer, this is also good and it should now be
easier. If you are to operate as a perfect being, in perfect health, then you must have
a perfect attitude. You must become aware of the spiritual power within that is
81
Winning The Cancer War
greater than you, the still, small voice within.
If you are of the many millions of people who have been told that you have cancer
and that your days are numbered, then it is you who must be interested enough to
seek out the truth of your condition. You have read many things in this treatise, which
bring new thinking to a very old disease.
Since we are dealing with the metabolic approach to cancer, we must consider not
only the physical, but also the mental and spiritual laws of God. We need help from
those around us as well as the God power within to reverse our thinking, and attain
that balance which creates a healthy physical being.

, a spoonful of peas, a clump
of potatoes, and on and on. When asked, “Why do you do that?”
she responds with, “Oh, I’ve always been that way.” Why? Because
“That’s just the way I am.” Grandma’s rationale for her behavior is
her own label which comes from a past of always having behaved
in that manner.
Some people will actually use all four sentences in one shot when
confronted with their behavior. You might ask someone why he al-
ways gets upset when the subject of accidents arisesBREAKING FREE FROM THE PAST  / 75and he is likely to respond, “Oh, that’s just me, I’ve always been that
way. I really can’t help it, it’s just my nature.” Whew! All four at
once, and each being used as an explanation for why he will never
be different and never even consider changing.
Your I’ms which describe self-canceling behavior can be traced
to something that you’ve learned in the past. And every time you
use one of these four sentences you are really saying, “And I intend
to continue being the way I’ve always been.”
You can begin to unknot the ropes that link you to your past and
eliminate the fruitless sentences which are spoken to keep you just
as you’ve always been.
Here is a typical list of “I’ms” that may be included in your own
self-portrait
I’m Fat I’m a Lousy Cook I’m Shy
“Not Musical “a Poor Speller “Lazy
“Not Athletic “Tired Easily “Timid
“Sloppy “Sickly “Afraid
“Stubborn “Gauche “Clumsy
“Immature “Accident Prone “Anxious
“Meticulous “Short Fused “Forgetful
“Careless “Hostile “Not Mechanical
“Vindictive “Solemn “Poor at Mathematics
“Irresponsible “Apathetic “A Loner
“Nervous “Bored “Frigid
You are probably in there several times, or perhaps you are con-
juring up your own list. The point is not which labels you choose,
but that you choose to label yourself at all. If you are genuinely sat-
isfied with any of the I’ms, then let them be, but if you can admit to
any of these or other I’ms getting in your way at times, it’s time to
make some changes. Let’s begin with an understanding of the origins
of the I’ms.
People want to label you, to pigeonhole you into neat little76 / Your Erroneous Zonescategories. It’s easier that way. D. H. Lawrence saw the folly of this
labeling process in his poem What Is He?*
What is he?
—A man, of course.
Yes, but what does he do?
—He lives and is a man.
Oh quite! but he must work. He must have a job of some
sort.
—Why?
Because obviously he’s not one of the leisured classes.
—I don’t know. He has lots of leisure. And he makes quite
beautiful chairs.
There you are then! He’s a cabinet maker.
—No, no!
Anyhow a carpenter and joiner.
—Not at all.
But you said so.
—What did I say?
That he made chairs, and was a joiner and carpenter.
—I said he made chairs, but I did not say he was a
carpenter.
All right then, he’s just an amateur?
—Perhaps! Would you say a thrush was a professional
flautist, or just an amateur?
I’d say it was just a bird.
—And I say he is just a man.
All right! You always did quibble.
How Those “I’ms” Got Started
The antecedents to your I’ms fall into two categories. The first
kind of labels come from other people. They were pinned
* The Complete Poems of D. H. Lawrence,  vol. I, edited by Vivian de Sola Pinto and
F. Warren Roberts; copyright 1929 by Frieda Lawrence Ravagli; by permission of
The Viking Press, Inc.BREAKING FREE FROM THE PAST  / 77on you as a child and you carry them around with you to this day.
The other labels are the result of a choice you made to keep from
having to do uncomfortable or difficult chores.
The first category is by far the most prevalent. Little Hope is in
the second grade. She goes to her art class every day, full of delight
about coloring and dabbling in paint. Her teacher tells her that she
really isn’t all that good, and she begins to stay away from it because
she doesn’t like disapproval. Before long, she has the beginning of
an I’m. I’m not good at art. With enough avoidance behavior she
reinforces this notion and, as an adult, when asked why she doesn’t
draw, she says, “Oh, I’m not good at it. I’ve always been that way.”
Most I’ms are leftovers, hangers-on from a time when you heard
such sentences as: “He’s kind of clumsy; his brother is good at ath-
letics, but he’s the studious one.” Or, “You’re just like me, I was
never good at spelling either.” Or, “Billy was always the shy one.”
Or, “She’s just like her father; he couldn’t carry a tune with a
wheelbarrow.” These are the birth rites to a lifetime of I’ms that
never get challenged. They are simply accepted as a condition of
life.
Have a conversation with the people in your life who you feel are
most responsible for many of your I’ms. (Parents, long-time family
friends, old teachers, grandparents, etc.) Ask them how they think
you got to be the way you are and if you’ve always been that way.
Tell them you are determined to change and see if they believe you
are capable. You’ll be surprised at their own interpretations and
how they feel you can’t be any different, since “You’ve always been
that way.”
The second category of I’ms originates in those convenient tags
that you’ve learned to place on yourself in order to avoid distasteful
activities. I have been working with a client who is forty-six years
old, and wants very much to attend college, since he missed out on
his opportunity because of World War Two. But Horace is threatened
by the prospect of being in academic competition with young people
right out of high school. Fear of78 / Your Erroneous Zonesfailure and doubt about his intellectual capacities scare Horace. He
looks at catalogs regularly, and with the help he receives in counsel-
ing he has taken the appropriate entrance examinations and arranged
an interview with an admissions official at a local community college.
But he still uses his I’ms to skirt the actual doing process. He justifies
his inaction with, “I’m too old, I’m not smart enough, and I’m not
really interested.”
Horace uses his I’ms to avoid something he genuinely wants. A
colleague of mine employs them to get out of tasks he doesn’t enjoy.
He avoids having to fix the doorbell, or the radio, or any unpleasant
handyman activity by simply reminding his wife, “Now you know,
dear, I’m just not mechanical.” These kinds of I’ms are adaptive be-
haviors, but they are nevertheless delusional excuses. Instead of
saying, “I find this kind of activity dull or uninteresting, and I choose
not to work at it in my present moments (which is perfectly logical
and healthy)” it becomes easier to simply haul out an I’m.
In these cases, the individuals are saying something about them-
selves. They are stating, “I am a finished product in this area, and I
am never going to be any different.” If you are a finished product,
all tied up and put away, you have stopped growing, and while you
may very well want to hang onto some I’ms you may find that others
are simply limiting and self-destructive.
Below is a listing of some labels that are relics of the past. If any
of them belong to you, you might like to change them. To stay exactly
the way you are in any area is to make one of those deathlike de-
cisions described in Chapter I. Keep in mind that this is not a discus-
sion of the things that you just plain don’t enjoy, but rather a look
at behavior that keeps you from activities from which you might
choose a great deal of pleasure and excitement.BREAKING FREE FROM THE PAST  / 79Ten Typical “I’m” Categories and Their Neurotic Dividends
1. I’m poor at math, spelling, reading, languages, etc.
This I’m guarantees that you won’t put in the effort required
to change. The academic I’m is designed to keep you from
ever having to do the hard work involved in mastering sub-
ject matter that you have traditionally found difficult or
boring. As long as you label yourself inept, you have a built-
in reason to avoid tackling it.
2. 2. I’m lousy at some skill areas such as cooking, sports, crocheting,
drawing, acting, etc.
This I’m assures that you won’t have to do any of these things
in the future and justifies any poor performance in the past.

AUTO-URINE: NECTAR AND AN ANTI-POISON
There are but two means in the world to preserve and restore
health : (i) milk and (ii) auto-urine. Sage Atreya has given these two
substances a prominent place in Ayurved for the preservation and
restoration of health. here is the substance of Ayurvedic texts on
urine:
11Man1s urine is salty, pungent,.bitter, sweet, light, tonic,
appetizer, digestive, and is an anti-poison and destroyer of worms,
cough, excessive bile, and gas. It -is a laxative. It is a cure of eye
diseases top11• This is what the great Ayurvedic authorities like
Sushrut, Harit, Vagbhatta and others had said about human urine in
their texts.
The use of urine -and milk has been prescribed for all human
diseases by Ayurved. As has been said in different texts of Ayurved
milk and urine are homogeneous with human body as they are its
products. So no objection can be raised to their use for human body.
In Tantric texts, this fluid (urine) has been very frequently prescribed
and it has been mentioned thatone who uses this fluid gets rid of all
his diseases.
Congestion of urine gives much pa:in and even endangers life. So
Ayurved forbids the suppression of urination. Hence its passing out
on urge is but necessary. But there is absolutely no harm in taking
the passed out urine aga:n to get rid of physical disorders. No where
does Ayurved prohibit the use of urine. Vagbhatta says that there is
nothing in this world which cannot be used as medicine. The only
thing required is that it should be utilised with commo[l sense..
An Anti-poison : Lord Sushrut has mentioned auto-urine as an
anti-poisonous substance and.a good tonic. Snake-charmers keep a
bowlful of urine handy while catching a snake so that he may be
able to drink and apply it without loss of time in case of a
166 I
AUTO-URINE: NECTAR AND AN ANT-POSION : 167
snake-bite. In Shivambu-Kalp, it is said that one who drinks urine
regularly for six months becomes immune to snake-poiso~. The
same is the opinion of may Jain monks and other sadhus. It IS very
essential that anything read, heard or _spoken should be thoroughly
investigated and examined scientifically before presenting it to the ·
people for the common welfare. I have always been anxious to have
direct and definite proofs that urine has anti-poisionous qualities. In
the meanwhile Shri Chandrankant came in my contact. He had been
an ardent social worker of Kapadvanj and had come in to close
relation with an ascetic Vivekanand Saraswati whom he often
visited. Shri Parikh suffered from fever and catarrh. He could not get
rid of these complaints in spite of various treatments. At last he
resorted to urine cure. He started rinking and rubbing urine and was
cured within a week. Later he·informed the Swamiji about his urine
experiment and subsequent cure. Swamiji welcomed the news an~
said : 11Urine is a nectar.11 Thereafter Swamiji related a number of h1s
personal experinces with urine.
On 30-9-59 Shri Chandrakant Patikh accompanied me to see
Swamiji. At the first sight Swamiji appeared to me to be 55 but later
on it was revealed that he was 78. We had a good deal of talks. He
related: 11ln my native place Bareilly, (U.P.),there is a custom to ~ive
auto-urine in case of snake-bite. It is said that Chandan Goh 1s a
highly poisonous creature and· that there is no remedy for its bite.
One beaten by it definitely loses his life. But auto-urine ~as the
power of nullifying the effect of the poison of this creature too. This
fact has been ascertained by a number of incidents which took place
in my native place.
11There was a person who illegally dealt in opium. This was
disliked by his wife and she daily used to ask her husband to give up
the disreputable profession. But the latter would not listen. At last the
wife became desperate. In the absence of her husband, she came to
lay her hands upon nearly 30 gms. of opium which she dissolved in
water and drank-it. Consequently she fainted within half an hour. As
soon as her. husband returned home he was at once very anxious (
., I 168 :. AUTO-URINE THERAPY
abou_t his wife's condition. It was almost evening. He came to me
ru~nmg and narrated the whole incident. I asked him to collect the
ur~ne ~assed by the boys in the neighbourhood and make his wife
dnnk_ 1t the whole night. Following my advice he collected urine of
about 15 boys in the locality and gave it to his wife the whole night.
She came to her senses in the morning and her life was saved."
Swamiji n_ar:ated another incident : "Ahmedabad Municipality
had started killmg stray dogs by poisoning. Unfortunately my dog
al~ got involved in that by chance. My dog took his share of
pmsoned swe:ts from other dogs by force. Consequently he too was
affected by po1son. ~she came to me staggering, 1 at once suspected
th~t ~e had been po1soned. So I made him drink a glassful of urine.
W1th1n a short time the effect of poison disappeared."
Apart from the above incidents, Swamiji quoted a number of
other illustrations about his successful experiments with urine. ·
CHAPTER XXIII
TOOTHACHE
~anu~hai too C~nverted: An interesting episode took place one
even1ng 1n our soc1ety regarding urine. Some young workers of
Ahmedabad Congress_ take a good deal of interest in criticizing urine
therapy. They have n1cknamed auto-urine as "Kaka-Cola" in fun. So
whenever somebody complained of any minor trouble, they at once
recommended "Kaka-Cola"! I enjoyed their remarks. One night
a~ut 9 p.m., _all these friends were sitting in a house in my
ne1ghbourhood 1n Panchsheel Society where 1 lived and these were
gossiping heartily. Shri Manubhai Patel, organizer of Gujarat
~r~desh Sevadal and once a Deputy Minister of the State, was also
s1ttmg along with them. He was suffering from toothache for the past
one month an_d as the gums started bleeding, he consulted a dentist.
The doctor suspected pyorrho~a, which meant extracting the full set TOOTHACHE : 169
of teeth. Shri Manubhai was narrating this story when I reached
there. 1 suggested to him urine treatment. He interrupted me an~ said
· that he had no faith in it and a hearty joke followed. Accord1ng to
him it would be advisable to channelize all municipal urinals
towards urine therapy centre and there to bottle urine on a mass
scale label it 'Kaka-Cola' and to put it in the market and make an
additlonal source of income to the Ahmedabad Municipality! All his
friends sitting there had a very hearty laugh at th_is big joke at_ my
cost! Even then 1 insiSted upon an urine-pack on h1s gums that mght.
My request did not appeal to him and so he kept silent. B~t ~e
got at 5 a.m. and per force applied a urine-pack due to acute pa1n In
the tooth and.then slept again. When he got up at 5 a.m., he
experienced a magical effect. There was great relief and the entire.
pain had vanished.
Consequently, the amagol'lism that Shri Manubhai was
harbouring against urine therapy evaporated by this experience. He
related this experience to his friends with great eAtnusiasm.
Shri MaAUbhai then continued the treatment. He pressed out foul
blood and mucus from the gums and went on taking mouth-washes
with urine. He also drank it a little and by the fourth day he was al1
rtght. Later on a friend of Shri Man!Jbhai·'·s company told me joking :

 Jaundice. It must  be remembered  that jaundice is merely  a symptom  of
some chronic or acute affection  of the liver and is not a disease in itself.
My first and  most difficult case  where a jaundiced  condition  obtained
was in 1919, at the beginning  of my career as a urine‐therapist.  This
case  took 10 days to clear up on a urine‐fast plus tap‐water.
I have not had  a number of jaundice cases; but with those I have
treated it has been remarkable  to watch the discolouration  of the skin
gradually disappear  during the first two or three days of the fast, and
then as the penance has continued,  give place  to a colour as fresh  and
healthy as the complexion  of a diarymaid!  Ten days or less have usually
sufficed to clear up a jaundiced  condition,  that is provided it has not
been due to cancer of the liver. This dread disease I regard as
practically  hopeless  by whatever  means it is treated. Even biochemic
practitioners,  who have claimed to cure  some cases of cancer,  maintain
that if the liver is involved, nothing can be done.  Nevertheless  I once
supervised  a urine‐fast in the case  of a man who had been such a heavy
drinker that over a period of years he had drunk  a whole bottle of
spirits per diem.  This man  decided to try a urine‐fast  while his doctor
was away on holiday.  He drank all the urine he voided, but on the tenth
day it remained  as bloody and  as full of red sandy deposit  as it was at
the beginning  of the penance. On the day in question  the doctor
returned from his holiday, and  an incision was made in the scrotum.
The following  day the patient passed away in a state of
unconsciousness.  Whether his liver which  was "dead" could ever have
been made to function  again if the fast  had continued  and  there  had
been no surgical interference  is very problematical;  but I confess  I was
much distressed  that at any rate I was not given the chance  to try and 90
 save the unfortunate  man's life, especially  as during the fast he had lost
very little flesh except in the face, and  so, here  seemed some prospect
of his ultimate recovery.  And, after all, where  there  is life there is hope!
Case of paralysis,  premature  old age, loss of memory, etc. Male patient,
aged 60. Medical verdict, "a few weeks to live." Had  had  two paralytic
seizures, the first occurring  after an attempt to get rid of influenza by
means of fresh  fruit and fruit juices.  After the second  seizure he had no
memory, and  appeared  to be in his dotage, though only 60.  He
underwent  a urine‐fast with rubbings,  for 59 days, broke the spell for a
fortnight,  living on the one meal a day plan, then fasted further  for
another  35 days. Memory and  his speech returned in 20 days during
the first  fast, and the cure  was completed  during the second, the prime
cause of the trouble having been an arthritic condition.
Loss of hair. This same man who had lost his hair, not only regained it
during the second fast‐ his head was  rubbed  daily‐but instead of being
grey it assumed  its original  color… Many of my correspondents,  I may
add, report renewal of hair as the result of rubbing the head with old
urine as a daily habit.
Reports from  correspondents  on influenza,  pneumonia,  pleurisy and
appendicitis.
These reports show that as a general rule from three to eight days'
urine‐fast suffices to cure  influenza,  pneumonia  and pleurisy. The same
can be said of appendicitis.  In some cases of the latter,  one small meal a
day has been allowed, though all the urine passed  must  be taken. In
severe acute cases with fever, a complete  urinefast  is essential.   91
 And here  I would emphasise  the fact that to press food on a sick man  or
woman on the principle that strength, must  b.: kept up, is the height  of
medical folly.  To an invalid whose instincts and  organs  rebel against
taking nourishment,  food acts like a poison.
Cataract. Before  it became  illegal  for laymen to mention the fact that
cataract may  yield to treatment  without operation,  I found that in many
cases, 10 days'  urine‐fast  was sufficient  to dissolve the film that forms
over the eye. The longest required was a 28 days'  fast. Whether it is
against the now existing law for any layman to say that he has cured
cataract before the law was  passed, is a subtle point on which  I am not
qualified to pronounce.  But in case  the disclosure  should be illegal, we
must  assume that the cases cured had  been falsely ding nosed, since
the law implies  that no one save a qualifies oculist can cure  genuine
cases, namely with a knife Nevertheless,  it is only veracious  to say that
cataract is by no means always an isolated condition.  What we need to
remember  is that the eye is a part of the body, and therefore  in treating
the body
