 to your particular condition.
QUESTION Should I take acidophilus bacteria while on the tissue cleans ing and colema treatment?
ANSWER No, but take it afterward. Take it when you return home, perhaps as an implant. You can do it for a month or two after
this program.
QUESTION I’m already exhausted; I feel I could be in bed right now. How will this be over the 7 days?
ANSWER This is the second day - and you are one of the unusual ones because of your past problems. The more elimination you
have, the less energy you will have also. Cleansing requires a lot of rest. We will not take you the full 7 days due to your past
history.
QUESTION I make goat milk cheese; should I drink the whey?
ANSWER Yes, whey is the greatest thing for the stomach to make hydrochloric acid needed for digestion.
QUESTION Is it too high in sodium for me?
ANSWER No, because you won’t be t aking a large amount.
QUESTION On this cleansing, if I experience pain or gas, should I take another colema?
ANSWER Yes; in all cases of pain or intestinal distress, it is best to take another colema and it can be done in succession w ithout
any harm.
QUEST ION Can chicken bones be used in the veal broth soup? And should they be raw or can they be from a roasted chicken?
ANSWER Yes, you can use chicken bones and raw is preferred: although roasted chicken bones can be used also.
QUESTION Why are we drinking th e vinegar/honey mixture?
ANSWER It helps do some of the work that hydrochloric acid does in the stomach in digesting proteins. It stirs up the acid -
alkaline balance in the body to throw off more acids through the urine.
QUESTION Will an overdose of calcium  cause muscle cramps?
ANSWER Yes, it could.
QUESTION How do we control calcium?
ANSWER Good stomach digestion. Iodine controls calcium. Greens, tops of vegetables, also control calcium.
QUESTION I’m worried about my weight on this cleansing.
ANSWER Most pe ople on this elimination diet do not lose much, if any, weight. You are not totally fasting, you are having juices
and the vitamins and minerals which are all foods.
QUESTION When should I take the Digestaid tablets?
ANSWER During your meals.
QUESTION Will  you tell us about implants? What should be used?
ANSWER Implants are inserted with a baby enema syringe (about 1 cup of liquid) into the rectum at bedtime, and should be held
overnight. The best implant is acidophilus culture. Use this for 2 -3 months after the cleansing, skip 2 -3 months and start using the
implant again. We are replacing the friendly bacteria in the bowel using acidophilus culture. Of course, during the day, you can
take acidophilus orally. We all have a lack of the friendly bacteria, but even more so in taking frequent colemas. Other implants to
use are garlic oil in water: flaxseed tea: liquid chlorophyll: crushed Green Life tablets and water. Clay water is a very soo thing
implant to use occasionally. Aloe vera gel and water can also be used as a healer for the inflamed tissue of the colon. The implants
should all be used at body temperature; the rectum will expel cold water quicker. Some doctors recommend yogurt or buttermilk  as
implants, these are fine, but when on the colema treatme nts, I feel the ones I’ve mentioned above are best. Buttermilk implants can
help remove extreme intestinal gas. Vinegar and water implants can help rid the bowel of acid and germ life. Garlic oil can h elp
eliminate pinworms in children.
QUESTION Does the b owel become better using colemas, and will the water reach the small intestine?
ANSWER I believe the large intestine is best cared for through colemas and eventually it becomes stronger. The tone built up will
be transferred to the whole bowel. The most di fficult to care for is the ascending colon where the toxic material is thrown into the
large colon. As you develop bowel tone, better bowel movements are attained and there is less toxic material to deal with, so  the
tissue becomes better.
QUESTION Can div erticuli be reversed?
ANSWER This condition represents a combination of inherited bowel qualities and improper diet/eating habits. It can be correc ted
with colemas, proper eating and proper exercises, using the slant board.
QUESTION Why do I feel weak, esp ecially after the colema?
ANSWER Colemas are a cleansing treatment, and your body is working to remove toxic material. That’s why you’re weak and
that’s why it is so important to rest for half an hour after each colema.
QUESTION Should we continue with the  vinegar and honey at mealtime when we go home?
ANSWER Take the bulk, vinegar and honey twice a day, morning and night, when you go off the fast. This will continue for
several months.
QUESTION I’ve noticed my heart seems to be pounding: could it be overwo rking?
ANSWER It could be that you’re working more and you should rest. The pounding could also be caused by gas pressure.
QUESTION Is it better to crush the tablets we are taking now?
ANSWER No, just crack them once before swallowing.
QUESTION What can I do to make my body absorb proteins better?
ANSWER Emotional strain breaks down this ability more than anything. Then, of course, we have to get sodium back into the
stomach wall to help digest protein. Take the more easily digested proteins also.
QUESTION Clay water seems to constipate me in taking the colema. Coffee seems to work better.
ANSWER Clay water does have a tendency toward constipation - but it is very soothing to an irritated bowel. It absorbs 90 times
its own weight of acid excretions in the bo wel, so it is the greatest cleanser available. It attracts material to be eliminated. The
coffee enema is a stimulant to most people. You can’t be constipated very long on this treatment.
QUESTION Can I mix coffee with the clay water?
ANSWER It’s best not to mix the two, because they have separate effects. Clay water is quite alkaline and coffee is acid. That’s
why you use cider vinegar in the coffee enema.
QUESTION Is it better to take the colema before or after supplements?
ANSWER Take supplements after t he colema.
QUESTION What is the best time of day to take the colema?
ANSWER In the morning. If this isn’t possible, take it at night, but take it once a day.

HERING’S LAW OF CURE
I work with the purest ideas possible, the best foods possible, the best pro cesses possible, and in working with these ideals, we
work with the reversal process. As you have built up the disease through the acute, subacute, chronic and degenerative stages, we
reverse and correct these conditions as we go back over our past problem s. As you have built up conditions in the body through
foods, pollution, overwork, enervation, life style, etc., we have to learn our lesson and go back over them and relive them, so to
speak. You can expect all of these problems to return as you get well.  This is best described in my book DOCTOR -PATIENT
HANDBOOK. If you truly want to get well, this process must be followed. We find that “Hering’s Law of Cure” appears in the
reversal process as healing takes place. In this process the body eliminates iatrog enic symptoms and diseases, those things
caused by treatments that were suppressive in nature and usually involved a drug of some kind. Latent settlements of any fore ign
accumulations leave the body mainly through the bowel as a liquified form of mucus or catarrh. For example, we had an asthma
patient who received much relief from the tissue cleansing treatment but developed an extreme uterine abscess which broke sho rtly
after the treatment and discharged the foulest material possible and continued for a mo nth after. She lost extreme weight and will
not gain until after the discharge culminates. She needed the assistance of a tissue cleansing treatment to bring on an elimi nation.
This latent tumor or abscess was suppressed. Discharge from lungs, bronchials, head, ears and nose for 17 years, and of course,
always suppressed it with some form of drug. I have said so many times —if you suppress or don’t allow a discharge to continue
until you are clean inside, you will develop a growth —and she did just that.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SKIN BRUSHING
I believe skin brushing is one of the finest of all baths. NO soap can wash the skin as clean as the new skin you have under the old.
You make new skin every 24 hours on the body. The skin will be as clears as the blood is. Skin  brushing removes this top layer.
This helps to eliminate uric acid crystals, catarrh and various other acids in the body. The skin should eliminate two pounds  of
waste acids daily. Keep the skin active. No one can be well wearing clothes unless they brush  their skin. It is the greatest
method to remove the scurf rim as found in the eye, which denotes an underactive, poorly eliminating skin. Use a

and that which  you imagine  yourself to be  or to have  is the  cause  of ev-
erything  in your personal world. You  may believe  that there  is some other
cause; you  may blame  others  for your problems;  you may believe  that
the events were  wrought by fate  or chance, but if you  are objective  and
observe  your own beliefs and  thought patterns, you  will see that your
world  accurately reflects all that you  believe  to be true of yourself and
others.  There  is no one  and nothing  to change  but the  ideas from which
you think. We  think from ideas that we  consent to as true  and we imagine
situations that match our beliefs. Consciousness is the  only reality. It is
the creative  principle  that brings into your experience the  exact duplicate
or reflection of that which you  imagine  to be true. The world  in which we
live mirrors all that we believe  and imagine  to be true, be it good, bad, or
indifferent.
The sooner  that man rids himself of the  belief in a  second  cause, the
sooner  will he  realize that nothing  happens to him except that which origi -
nates in his own consciousness. I do  not deny that man believes that if he
contracts a  certain germ or virus that he  will manifest  a particular  illness
or disease.  If he contemplates the  cause, he  may conclude  that it is be -
cause  he came  in contact with someone  else who had  the bug. He  doesn’t
realize that in some  way, his own feelings about health or illness attracted
the illness he  is experiencing. If viruses or germs were  truly the  cause  of
disease,  everyone  who came  in contact with a   particular  virus would be
affected.  The outer  world  merely reflects that which a  man is in his own
consciousness.
It doesn’t matter  what you  have been taught; you  can change  your beliefs
and so change  the circumstances of your life.  The Bible states that when
you pray, believe  that you  have received  and you shall have  it. Most of us
have read that statement or heard  it at some time. Few people  have actu-
ally prayed  in that manner. Have  you ever been ill and  prayed  for health?
If you  needed  money, did  you believe  when you  prayed  that you  already
had the sum you  asked  for? Most people  pray to God  to change something
in their lives or to give  them something  they do not have.  If their prayers
were not answered, they think  that God had a reason for withholding  that
particular  thing. They think  that perhaps God  didn’t  grant their request
because  He didn’t want them to attain their desire  for some  reason  known
only to God. Man sometimes thinks that God  doesn’t answer  prayers  be-
cause  man is undeserving  of that which he  seeks. Man must learn to be -
lieve in that which he  does not, at the  moment, see in order  to grant him -
self that which he  desires to have. Man’s payers are  always answered,  for
he always receives that which he  believes. The  law that governs prayer  is
impersonal. Belief is the  condition necessary to realize the  desire. No
amount of pleas or ritual will bring  about the  fulfillment of your desires
other  than the  belief that you  are or have  that which you  want.
More Free Books Law of Attraction Haven“Faith is the  substance of things hoped  for, the  evidence of things not
seen.”  The full meaning  of that statement must be  understood. If the
meaning  were understood, man  would  have no problem in accomplishing
his aims. Most men believe  that nothing  is impossible  to God  – that God
could  do anything  if he chose  to do it. So man believes he has faith in God
and prays to God  for that which he  wants. If his prayer  is not granted, he
thinks that he  either  did not pray long  enough or hard  enough or that God
chose  to withhold  his request.
However, faith is the  actual substance of that which is hoped  for. It is the
evidence of the  thing you want which you  do not see in the  outer  world.
That which you  want to do or be has already been created.  Therefore,  it
actually does exist. It is possible  to bring  into your world  anything  in cre -
ation by your belief that you  already have  it. Faith that what you want is
already a  fact is the  means by which you  activate  the invisible  state. That
state then is later  reflected  in your outer  world. Creation is finished. God
can create  nothing  that is not already existent. Faith or belief that you  al-
ready are  or have  that which you  desire  is the  only means by which to ex -
perience your desires. No limitation is imposed  on that  which you  can
have except your failure  to assume  possession of the  quality or thing  de-
sired.
How the Law Works
The law of identical harvest or cause  and effect is impersonal and  can be
used to bring  into your experience anything  you can conceive.  Since cre -
ation is finished, every possible  state already exists. Your fusion with a
particular  state (imagining  with feeling  what you  would experience were
you in that state)  causes that state  to be projected  on your screen of
space. This law cannot be  changed  or broken and  always reproduces in
your outer  world the  exact duplicate  of any belief you  consent to as true.
If you  would  change  your world, you  must change  your beliefs. Since con -
sciousness is the  only cause, you  cannot blame  others for the  conditions
which presently exist nor can fate  or chance be  the cause  of that  which
you are now experiencing. Nothing  can alter  the course  of events in your
life except a  change  in your own consciousness. Whatever  is appearing  in
your world  now, although  it appears real and  an unalterable  fact, is a  re-
flection of previous activity in your own   consciousness. Therefore, a
change  in consciousness will reflect that change  in the  future  just as sure -
ly as past beliefs reflect the  present.
Man is pure  formless consciousness and  that which he  conceives himself
to be is an illusion or reflection of the  particular  ideas he  holds true. These
illusions exist only so long  as man focuses his attention upon them and
gives them life.
The conscious mind  forms beliefs and  opinions from the  evidence of the
senses or the  perceived  outer  world. The  creative  power  within each of us
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenaccepts as true  that which the  conscious mind  impresses upon it. Your
creative  power  takes those  ideas, which are thought of with feeling, and
projects them in your outer  world. It is important to remember  that not
all thoughts are  creative.  Only those  which are  believed  to be true or
which are  joined  with feeling  create  the circumstances and  events that
you will encounter.
Therefore, emotions such as anger, fear, love  or joy are  creative. You
must guard  the emotions which you  allow to enter  your consciousness
just as you  would  discriminate  in allowing  a stranger  into your home. You
cannot allow  negative  emotions to fill your mind  without suffering the
consequences of experiencing  the state with which those  emotions are
joined. Fear of loss brings loss into your world. You  could  take every out -
ward precaution to guard  against loss, but if you  fear loss, you  will most
certainly experience it  in your affairs. Feelings of love  and joy create  hap-
py events and  loving  relationships. Feeling  abundant brings riches into
your life.  A person who is unloving  or suspicious and  feels that others take
advantage of him, draws to himself that which he  believes. No matter
what he  does externally, his relationships with others  will reflect that
which he  accepts as true. He may want a  loving  relationship  but he  can
draw to himself only that which he  is conscious of being.
Like literally does attract like.  As within, so without. Consciousness is real -
ity and  that which is perceived  by our senses and  appears so real is but
the shadow  of that which we believe  ourselves and  the world  to be.
Conscious Use of the Law


 public to
know. I w on't name names because that would be betraying confidential interactions, but many of them called me when they were needing
some sort of advice for dealing with these ailments. Then, at the next big raw food conference, there that person would be, p reachi ng the
amazing benefits of the 100% raw vegan diet, signing copies of  their books, and speaking negatively about cooked food eaters  and those
who eat only partially raw or are not vegan. This was a major eye -opener  for me. I realized that once a person i s earning their livelihood and
getting their "positive strokes" by being an author/expert on the raw/vegan diet, it is very hard for them to admit that the diet is not working in
their own life. It would mean that their own books were no longer valid, and they would need to find another way to earn their livelihood.
But there is another reason that raw food author/experts (as well as  the non -famous raw vegans) do not publicly admit their problems with
the diet. Because people have been shamed into not admi tting their  hardships on this diet, each one believes they are the only one having
the problem. This is especially true with anxiety attacks, panic attacks, and depression. I have been in a room with seven ra w food experts
and had personal knowledge that five of them had been struggling with those problems, and yet each of them thought they were the only
one. Because  I am a minister, many of these folks felt comfortable enough to seek counseling from me, but would not feel com fortable
mentioning their pro blems to others. I once lived in a house with several raw food vegans. Every one of them ended up with nervous
disorders such as panic attacks. One of them went on a raw food chat board and asked if it  might be due to the diet and perh aps they
should take  B-12. The moderator of that chat board wrote back saying that the diet is perfectly fine and they were just going through detox.
However, I was a personal friend of that moderator and so I knew what the other people on the chat board  did not know: I kne w that the
moderator himself was suffering from terrible panic attacks and was even considering suicide (he had confided that to me, but  on the chat
board he moderated he still preached the party  line: all problems are just detox).
I then read an issue of Chet Day's Health and Beyond newsletter in  which former students of T. C. Fry wrote in and described how they had
become crippled following his diet. I read another interview in that mag of a Natural Hygienist doctor who said that health p roblems
"invaria bly" result in a 100% raw vegan diet.
Then, in a town very near me, one of the founding members of the local raw food group died at a very young age from heart pro blems. My
guess  is he was about 49 or so. The doctor told his wife that the man's body had b egun to eat itself and destroyed his heart due to
malnutrition. His body had not been getting enough nutrition on the raw vegan diet, as he did not absorb enough nutrients fro m raw foods.
When his wife shared that info with the members of that raw food sup port group, she was told "the doctor is wrong. And if you are going to
speak negatively about  raw foods you are no longer welcome to attend." That was the support she  got when her husband had ju st dropped
dead. I then told a woman from a California raw food support group that story. She responded, "Oh, we just had a guy die from the very
same thing. The doctors said his body had begun to eat itself due to malnutrition. I began to wonder how prevalent these sort s of problems
really are.
I could go on and on reporting similar things. But suffice it to say that I now believe there are problems with the raw vegan diet. And now tha t
I have begun to share this sort of information, I am getting the exact response I have seen others get when they shared such info: brushed
aside with some sort of negative remark.
Here is what I have decided to do. I am soliciting peoples experiences, good and bad, with this diet. I am doing a research p roject. It will be
unbiased. In three years or so I will publish the results.
Last remark: I still think raw foods are great! I have thrived on a raw diet with yogurt for 15 years. I have friends who have thrived equally
long including eggs in their raw diet. So, I am not against raw foods,  I am in favour of them, but now believe the ir is something missing in
the vegan form of the diet. I guess it is appropriate that, as an Essene, I now find myself supporting the version of the die t given by Jesus in
the Essene Gospel of Peace (raw diet with dairy). When I was a raw food vegan I was embarrassed by Jesus' including raw dairy in the diet.
Now  I realize he knew what he was doing!

research project:....

Q:  I am supplementing my vegan diet with B12. Shouldn't that be enough?
A: You have to supplement with complete D -vitamins as well. What we get from the sunshine is only part of what we need.
And do you get enough long -chained fatty acids? These are are not available from vegetables, only from animal fats, and are necessary for
normal brain and nerve development. A good source is fat fish, e.g. (wild) salm on.
For more on fats, read this extract from http://www.mercola.com/2002/feb/2/vegetarian.htm, Part 1:

Fats And Brain Size
"...... About half our brain and nervous system is composed of complicated, long -chain, fatty acid molecules. The walls of our blood  vessels
also need them. Without them we cannot develop normally. These fatty acids do not occur in plants.
Fatty acids in a simpler form do occur, but they must be converted into the long -chain molecules by animals - which is a slow, time -
consuming proce ss. This is where the herbivores come in. Over the year, they convert the simple fatty acids found in grasses and seeds
into intermediate, more complicated forms that we can convert into the ones that we need.
Our brain is considerably larger than that of any ape. Looking back at the fossil record from early hominids to modern man, we see a quite
remarkable increase in brain size. This expansion needed large quantities of the right fatty acids before it could have occur red. It could
never have occurred if o ur ancestors had not eaten meat. Human milk contains the fatty acids needed for large brain development - cow's
milk does not. It is no coincidence that in relative terms, our brain is some fifty times the size of a cow's.
The vegetarian will be dismayed t o learn that while soy bean is rich in complete protein, and grains and nuts also combine to provide
complete proteins, none contains the fats that are essential for proper brain development.

Although the eating of fats today is believed by some to be a cause of heart disease (erroneously, see The Cholesterol Myt h), we know that

Q:  What do you recommend if I am an ethical vegan not taking supplements?
A: To be a successful vegan you have  to be knowledgeable enough to avoid mistakes.
One problem area is deficiencies, e.g. of B12 and D vitamins. First, it is not unethical to use dairy and unfertilized eggs. Second, (bee)
pollen is a good complement to a vegan diet. Another option are certai n fermented products based on nuts, that contain bacteria -made B12
- but I consider these poor substitutes.
I once had a satsangi patient who said he would rather die than eat animal foods. So I recommended bee pollen. The amount sho uld be
minimum 2 tbsp per day, preferably more, perhaps 1 -2 tbsp per meal. But I have lost touch with this person, so I don't know if it was enough
to keep him in good health. In my mice studies, mice could survive and stay healthy on bee pollen and vegetables for a very l ong t ime,
comparable to many decades for humans.
Concerning eggs and dairy, these should also be eaten at least once a day (it can be small amounts, and should be raw) - twice a week is
not enough to stop degeneration, according to my mice studies. Make certain  you read "With Three Generations of


ism appears as a
hypopituitarism of a specific type, in which the absence or deficiency of basophiles seems to be
essential.
    The evidence indicates that this severe type of facial and brain injury is related directly to a
lowered reproductive capacity of the mother associated with age, since the majority are born to
mothers beyond forty years of age, and to an inadequate nutrition of the mother, particularly in
vitamin E since this vitamin plays so important a role in the nutrition of the pituitary body.
    Important new data have been provided in an analysis of births in the United States in
connection with the development of the Mongolian group. Bleyer (9)  has reported a study of 2,822
cases. He reports that of the total births in the United States in 1934, of 1,095,939, there were
1,822 reported as Mongoloids. The average age of the mothers of these individuals was forty-one
years. He reports data indicating that in the age group of mothers forty to forty-four the chances of
the development of a Mongoloid would be seventy-five times as high as normal expectancy, and in
the age forty-five to forty-nine the chances are 125 times normal expectancy. In a group of 1,942
Mongoloids, 1,100 or 57 per cent were last children. These data are in keeping with those of
several other investigators, and emphasize the problem of depleted reproductive capacity.
    The interesting problems involved in the birth of identical twins throw light on the origin of both
physical and mental characters. It is a matter of great significance in connection with these studies
that anomalies which we can associate with parental deficient nutrition are reproduced in both
twins. Important additional light has been thrown on this phase by a family of six pairs of fraternal
twins born to the same parents. These are reported by Dr. William W. Greulich, of New Haven.
(10) It is significant that nine of these individuals (one of the oldest pair is deceased, and the
youngest twins are yet babes in arms) show marked narrowing of the nostrils and lack of
development of the middle third of the face, narrowing of the face and tendency to be mouth
breathers. Further, the severity of this condition appears to be progressively more severe in the
younger pairs of twins, sufficiently grown to show facial development. There is accordingly,
evidence here of progressive lowering of reproductive efficiency, and the fact that both individuals
are involved similarly has great significance, since they are fraternal twins arising from a single
ovum. This seems clearly to relate this disturbance with a deficient germ plasm. Factors that are
reproduced in identical twins would include both hereditary characters and those that are
produced by a disturbance in environment resulting in an interference with normal hereditary
processes. In a case of twins that are not identical, there is significance in the development of
similar deformities which are likely to be of acquired origin rather than of hereditary origin. In Fig.
127 is seen a pair of twins. Note that they have similar disturbance in the development of the
dental arches with the upper laterals depressed and the cuspids crowded outward in the arch.
FIG. 127. These boys are twins, not identical. Note, however,
both have same type of deformity of the dental arch,

    A very important source of information which deals with the relation of disturbances of the
physical development of the head and mentality is provided by a study of the members of the teen-
age group who are classed as mentally backward. In an examination of a Cleveland school in a
colored district that has been set aside largely for boys and girls who are distinctly deficient in their
ability to learn, it was disclosed that a very large percentage suffered from gross facial deformities
when judged by these standards. Typical individuals in this group are shown in Fig. 128, one is
white, lower left. It is clear that these boys were all physically injured in the formative period. Their
clinical history indicates that the brain was involved in this disturbed development.
FIG. 128. These four boys are typical of a group of several
hundred in a special school for backward children. Practically
all showed some evidence of incomplete facial and dental
arch development. The range of defects is wide. Blacks are
similarly injured as whites. This is inhibited heredity.
    One of the problems involved in the development of the group of disturbances having physical
and mental expressions, is associated with the sensitiveness of the body during the period of
adolescence. Many students of degenerative problems have emphasized various phases of this
large problem. Burt" commented: "It is almost as though crime were some contagious disease, to
which the constitutionally susceptible were suddenly exposed at puberty, or to which puberty left
them peculiarly prone." The age of adolescence is also the period of greatest susceptibility to
dental caries. Data derived from chemical studies of the blood and saliva show that in this period
of susceptibility to dental caries the supplies of minerals and vitamins are inadequate to meet
Nature's demands, and the system borrows minerals from the skeleton to maintain vital processes.
Lichtenstein and Brown (12) report data which reveal that educational quotients, like intelligence
quotients, fall with increase in age during the years of developing puberty. They show that the
educational quotient at nine years of age for the group studied was 100; at eleven years of age, 89;
at twelve years, 83; and at thirteen years, 74. The changes in facial and dental arch form, which I
have described at length in this volume, develop in this age period also, not as a result of faulty
nutrition of the individual but as the result of distortions in the architectural design in the very early
part of the formative period. Apparently, they are directly related to qualities in the germ plasm of
one or both parents, which result from nutritional defects in the parent before the conception took
place, or deficient nutrition of the mother in the early part of the formative period. Case records
show that the first signs of delinquency generally make their appearance during these years. The
age reported most frequently was that of thirteen.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 225/250    One expression of the rate of the progressive degeneration that is taking place in the United
States is the increase in delinquency and crime in young people between twelve and twenty years
of age, as well as in crime in general. Edgar Hoover, Director of the Bureau of Investigation, has
recently published data showing comparative figures for 1936 and 1937, during which time crimes
in the United States increased from 1,333,526 to 1,415,816, an increase of six per cent. This
increase is occurring in spite of the rapid development of social organizations for improving the
environment.
    Preventive measures among the unsocial group, who pass through the stages of predelinquency
and crime, have been almost entirely confined to improvement in the social surroundings of the
growing youth. While, no doubt, individuals with a low factor of safety are less likely to develop
serious criminal tendencies under favorable environments, such factors as constitute a first-
conditioning force, i.e., injury of the germ plasm, and deficient nutrition in the developmental period
are not corrected by these efforts. These new data relating to the nature of the underlying causes
strongly emphasize the need for beginning much earlier. Indeed, the preparation for the next
generation should begin early in the life of the preceding generation.
    Many investigators have emphasized the sensitiveness of the nervous system to disturbances in
the formative period. Considerable data have been presented indicating that the tissues of the
nervous system are the most easily affected of all the structures of the body. The extent of the
injuries to the nervous system vary through a wide range.
    Harris in his chapter on "Congenital Abnormalities of the Skeleton" in Blacker's (13)  "Chances of
Morbid Inheritance" has presented data indicating the sensitive period at which the ovum is most
likely to be injured:
    Few normal human embryos have been subjected to careful study. The vast majority of
human embryos examined have been abnormal, and it is their abnormality which has led to their
abortion between the sixth and thirteenth weeks of embryonic life, a critical period associated
with the development of the placenta, during which the death rate is probably in the
neighborhood of at least 15 per cent.
In tracing the development of the human embryo, he tells why the growth process is very different
from that of the development of embryos of lower forms. He states regarding deformed ova: "Ova
that survive the eighth week tend to live on to term, and are born as monsters." I have referred
previously to a personal communication from Professor Shute, of the University of Western
Ontario, which states that he had been impressed with the high percentage of deformities in
aborted fetuses. This seems to be Nature's method of eliminating defective individuals. Harris says
further:
    It is sometimes suggested that threatened abortions in early pregnancy should not be treated
by rest and quiet, as it is quite possible that the uterus is attempting to rid itself of a
pathological ovum which might become a monster in the future.
    The available data emphasize strongly that a very small


ness is there is only light. There isn’ t light and darkness. Light is
either there, or it’ s not there. The light can be very bright, or it can be
very, very dim. When it gets very, very dim, we say it’ s darkness.
Certain bits of information have an immense value. Just to have heard
it, to get it, jumps you ahead enormously.
Causality is a major roadblock because it blocks the awareness of the
Presence of God, and the purpose of consciousness work is to discover
the Presence of God within.To see through the illusion of causality, there’ s nothing causing
anything out there. Nothing is causing anything else. What you see are
conditions.
What holds up spiritual progress is resistance. The main resistance is
the narcissistic core of the ego and its belief in its own sovereignty.
Becoming enlightened is really overcoming the claim and the
domination of the ego to maintain its sovereignty.
How do you surrender the ego? First, contextualize what ego really is,
that it’ s not evil and that it’ s the persistence of the animal; but
persistence of the animal deters one’ s spiritual evolution and therefore,
the object is to transcend it. The best way to transcend it is to describe
in some detail the actual mechanisms of the ego. For example, the
ego’s attraction and addiction is to the juice it gets out of suf fering and
being mistreated.
Radical truth means you’ve got to take the mask of f everything and be
willing to see it for what it is, and now handle it from the viewpoint of
emotional honesty.
The way to reach enlightenment is quite simple. First, one chooses it.
The subjective reality about which we’re speaking, is in the split
instant of now, the split instant of now is the source of the joy of your
own existence.
Because of your Love of God your consciousness grows. As your
consciousness grows, it benefits all of mankind. Every living entity on
this planet benefits from every single degree that your consciousness
advances.
Dr. Hawkins often told us that through the repetition of the information
given through reading and listening, a deeper understanding can occur.

That which you are about to read may change your life forever!
When I  was 11 years old, my brother Scott was diagnosed with terminal cancer;
he was 20 at the time. His story is unique because he


make wrong' of the body; the lovingness ofour life
instead of the'make wrong' of our life; the lovingness
of the being that we are instead of the criticism of it. 52 HEALING AND RECOVERY
We fmd that we have to let go of criticism, 'attack'
thoughts, critical thoughts, and judgmental thoughts.
We have to let go of putting ourselves in the position
of being right and making other people wrong because
the level of 'right and wrong' is at the energy level of
about 180, which is that of negative thought forms. In
other words, it has a deleterious effect on our health
and life energy. Ifwe are willing to let go of our illness,
then we have to be willing to let go of the attitude that
brought about the illness because disease is an expression
of one's attitude and habitual way of looking at things.
The specifics of healing a particular illness consist
of (1) letting go of resisting the sensory experience of
it, (2) no longer putting names or labels on it, and (3)
using no words at all.Welcome experiencing what you
are experiencing in a very radical way and at the same
time (4) cancel the thought form and beliefsystem, and
(5) choose the energy field of Love, which heals.
If we look at the basic physics of the energies
involved, we can see why fear at calibration level 100
is overpowered by Love at 500 because these are expo
nential powers.Therefore, the power of Love is repre
sented by 500 x 10, whereas Fear is only 100 x 10, a
very big difference.
To put oneself in an energy field of 540 is to auto
matically heal oneself.A loving thought then heals, and
a negative thought creates illness. Choosing to become
a loving person results in the release of endorphins by
the brain, which has a profound effect on the body's
health and happiness (see Brain Physiology Chart, pg.
42). Happiness arises from the willingness to let go of
that which is negative and to allow love to replace it in 53 ASSISTING HEALING
consciousness because the essential nature of con
sciousness, unless it has been impaired, is lovingness.
We see this in the young child who is only innocence,
and lovingness is the expression of the essence of
human nature. It is as ifthe child has not yet been pro
grammed to go into fear, doubt, or limitation.
It is essential to capture that essential expression of
lovingness in order to help any illness within us, as well
as to let go of the negativity of the belief system. How
do we pick up the negative belief systems? We pick
them up through television and well-intentioned peo
ple.Their intention is to prevent these illnesses in us by
educating us about them. Instead, we fmd that the
mind is now programmed to accept a specific belief
system. Unconscious guilt then comes up and utilizes
that belief system, which causes an impairment of
energy flowing through the energy fields that run
down through the twelve meridians of the acupunc
ture energy system.
For example, every time someone -goes below level
200 (Courage), we find upon testing them that their
energy system is imbalanced. Characteristically, most
people will 'blowout' one particular acupuncture
meridian rather than another. For example, every time
they have negative thoughts or feelings consequent to
a negative belief system, they may impair the heart
meridian. As the years go by, every time they have a
resentment, go into self-pity, or criticize someone else,
it disrupts the energy and flows down the heart merid
ian.This depletes the ·life energy of the heart, and the
continual repetition begins to alter its physiology in
very delicate ways. It begins to express itself through ----54 HEALING AND RECOVERY
irregularities in the autonomic nervous system, which
operates in the functioning of the body organs.
As a result, there begins an impairment of the phys
iology of the heart itself, including the lining of the
arteries. As the years go by, the. habiral disruption of
the heart meridian brings impairme~~ on the physical
level, which is an expression of what has been held in
mind. That is the basic premise-the body expresses
what is held in mind, not vice versa.The body expresses
a person's habitual way of thinking.
The mechanics of negativity short-circuit the
acupuncture system and the autonomic nervous sys
tem.This in turn alters and impairs the sensitive electri
cal and chemical processes that are going on in the
cells, resulting in pathological changes within the
anatomy and dysfunction that results in a coronary
attack, heart disease, or heart failure. The heart failure
comes about partly as a result ofyears of negative men
tal attitudes.The mind would like to blame it on choles
terol, stress, one's lifestyle, genetics, what goes on in the
family, an.d so on. These are all merely explanations,
excuses, and rationalizations to try to make intelligible
that which is not clearly defmed.
When looking at the exact mechanics, we see that
what we hold in mind begins to manifest on the physical
plane because it is the mind that has the power. Even a
relatively neutral thought can have major consequences.
For example, one has the thought, "I think 1 will go to
Hawaii:'That one thought now energizes one's finances
and determines what one is going to do over the next six
months to get ready for the trip. The thought held in
mind now determines what one does with their money, 55 ASSISTING HEALING
their entire behavior, the packing,and moving their body
thousands of miles through the air. That one thought
influences the next six months of one's life.
We can see how powerful the mind is, and one of
the difficulties to overcome in self-healing is the will
ingness to accept the greatpowerofthe mind.We can
not let a negative thought go unchallenged. One can
not say, "I have diabetes" and let that go unchallenged.
That is a beliefsystem so powerful that just believing "I
have diabetes" is sufficient to potentiate the disease.
Instead, one has to cancel it and say,"I am a person who
once thought that, but I am only subject to what I hold
in mind. I am an infinite being, and I am not subject to
that." One releases any symptoms and cancels them.
One replaces them with the truth, and in doing that,
one moves above the line in the specifics of a given
illness. Later, when I give an account of how I used this
system to get rid of many illnesses within myself, per
haps these principles will become more apparent.
Because I had such a list of illnesses, I had to write
them all down in order to remember them because half
of them have been forgotten even though all of them
lasted for many, many years. For example, I had a duo
denal ulcer that was intractable. I was o'n all the tradi
tional medicinal treatments and had psychoanalysis
and a whole variety of things that began in medical
school.Twenty years later, I still had the ulcer, and not
only that, it was a different kind of ulcer that was mak
ing holes in other parts of my duodenum. It was threat
ening to perforate and hemorrhage, and it was creating
recurrent attacks of pancreatitis. I also had colitis along
with hemorrhage diverticulitis. In fact, the diverticulitis 56 HEALING AND RECOVERY
was so bad that I landedin the hospital several times
and had to have transfusions. I almost hemorrhaged to
death with it.
In addition, I had migraine headaches that were
intractable. Psychoanalysis had helped to some degree,
and I had seen neurologists and famous world experts,
but there was really no help for the migraines, which
were ostensibly associated with many allergies. I was
also sensitive to inhalants in the atmosphere. I could
not walk into a place that had been exterminated with
in the previous couple ofweeks because I could detect
one part in one million in the spray and would react
with a migraine headache.
In addition, I also had Raynaud's disease, which was
impairing the blood flow to my extremities, and I had
threatening insipient gangrene of the fingertips, circu
latory impairment of the hands and feet, and was cold
all the time. On top of all that, I had gout and a high
uric acid level. Of course, I was on a diet for that. I had
gouty arthritis and carried a cane and medication in
the back of my car. Can you imagine carrying a cane in
the back of your car because when gout comes on", it
happens very suddenly with pain that is very paralyz
ing? That cane was in my car for many years.
At the same time, I had severe hypoglycemia. I
could not eat sugar, sweets, or


itating weeks of bed rest, can lead to infected bedsores and other, potentially fatal
complications.
More women than men suffer from osteoporosis, so it is assumed to be caused by ageing, post-
menopausal loss of the female sex hormone estrogen, lack of exercise, and smoking. However, we
have seen a 28-year-old man suffering from this condition!  The conventional medical treatment
prescribes female hormones, calcium, Vitamin D, and regular exercise. The best that these can Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007.  All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.comachieve is to slow down the disease process, not reverse it. Moreover, female sex hormones can
cause cancer of the breast, the ovaries or the uterus; the body is unable to utilize the calcium and
the synthetic Vitamin D; this treatment does not restore bone mass.
In the course of worldwide research it was found that women in SE Asia, who regularly bear
six to eight children and nurse them all, do not suffer from osteoporosis. In fact it is virtually
unknown in those parts. Referring to this fact, the Physicians’ Committee for Responsible
Medicine (PCRM) reports: “The average calcium intake in Singapore is 389 mg/day, less than
half of the recommended daily allowance in the U.S. Yet the fracture rate in Singapore is five
times lower than that of the U.S., where the calcium intake is much higher.” Further on the report
comments: “Dietary and lifestyle factors that encourage the loss of calcium include: Animal
protein, sodium, caffeine, phosphorus, tobacco and sedentary lifestyle.” In one study it was found
that “Eliminating meat from the diet cuts the urinary calcium losses in half.” Also, “Cutting
sodium intake by half can reduce calcium requirements by 160 milligrams per day. Avoiding
tobacco has demonstrable effects: smokers have 10% weaker bones than non-smokers.”
Despite clear scientific proof that calcium is not the answer to osteoporosis, in January of
1997 a new advertising campaign promoting milk consumption was launched, sponsored by
the National Fluid Milk Processor Promotion Board. Among other things the publicity claimed,
“With calcium galore, milk is one of the best things around.” The ads featured female or male
celebrities sporting the new ‘celebrity milk moustache,’ The PCRM lodged a complaint with the
Federal Trade Commission in Washington, D.C., pointing out that “increasing milk consumption
is one of the weakest possible strategies for protecting the bones, and to suggest otherwise is
dangerously misleading.”
The PCRM also stated that since calcium was needed in the diet, the kind provided by green
vegetables appeared to be of greater bio-availability (was better assimilated) than the calcium
found in milk To underline their claim, they added: “Excessive calcium intake does not fool
hormones into building much more bone, any more than delivery of an extra load of bricks will
make a construction crew build a larger building.”
As the evidence accumulates, it becomes increasingly clear that osteoporosis, like so many
chronic degenerative complaints, is largely the result of wrong eating habits. Further confirmation
comes from best-selling author John Robbins, considered to be a world-class expert on the dietary
link with the environment and health. He writes, “One long-term study found that with as little
as 75 grams of daily protein (less than three quarters of what the average meat-eating American
consumes), more calcium is lost in the urine than is absorbed by the body, establishing from the
diet a negative calcium balance.” 5 Every study came up with the same result: The more protein
was taken in, the more calcium was lost. Dr. John McDougall, one of the nation’s leading medical
authorities on dietary association with disease, adds: “I would like to emphasize that the calcium-
losing effect of protein on the human body is not an area of controversy in scientific circles. Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007.  All rights reserved.
This material may not be reproduced in any medium, print or electronic without prior written permission from the author.Page 7 5Healing the Gerson Way—Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases
www.thegersonway.comThe many studies performed during the past 55 years consistently show that the most important
dietary change that we can make if we want to create a positive calcium balance that will keep our
bones solid, is to decrease the amount of protein we eat each day.” 6
All the above serves as yet another proof that the Gerson Therapy not only maintains the
calcium balance of the body, but that it is also able to reverse osteoporosis by restricting animal
protein, salt and smoking, while flooding the body with calcium from vegetable sources, along
with the proper enzymes to lodge this calcium in the bones. In fact, in numerous patients bone
mass has been increased and the discomfort or pain of osteoporosis has been cleared.
Case History:  After stumbling and falling on an uneven pavement, long-term recovered
Gerson patient A.C.  was sent for an X-ray by her doctor, to check whether her hip had been
fractured. The hip turned out to be unharmed, but osteoporosis was discovered in three places
in the spine. The woman doctor, who gave the patient the bad news, offered her a supply of
painkillers, which she refused on the grounds of feeling no pain. Instead, she got in touch with
Charlotte Gerson, who advised her to drink a liter of freshly made carrot and apple juice and eat
some green leaf every day, in addition to her Gerson maintenance routine. She added, “If those
guys tell you that osteoporosis is irreversible, don’t believe them.”
A.C.did as she was told. Six months later, at her request, her doctor arranged another X-ray
for her. This proved that not only had the condition not worsened, in fact it showed considerable
improvement. The woman doctor gave her the good news without expressing any surprise or
interest in this unusual development; all she had to say was to offer the patient a supply of —
painkillers. Some fifteen years have elapsed since this incident, and although A.C.is now in her
eighties, she isn’t showing any sign of osteoporosis.
Teeth
It is a sad fact that the concept of totality, or holism, is poorly understood and not applied
to dental health, although teeth are an integral part of the body and can powerfully influence its
general condition. Rarely do physicians consider checking the teeth of the patient who presents
with various problems, perhaps a tendency to infection, a weakness or some other malfunction of
the metabolism that is difficult to diagnose. The reason for this omission is that teeth belong to a
totally different area of medicine that a physician is not concerned with.
And yet it is a serious mistake to ignore teeth. Worse still, it can become a terrible mistake
to treat them incorrectly. Only a few years ago did the dental profession become aware of the
problems caused by root canal treatment. This came about because Dr. George Meinig, DDS,
F.A.C.D., former head of the Root Canal Society, was reading a book written some hundred years
ago by Dr. Weston Price, D.D.S., F.A.C.D.,7 and began to understand that it was a grave mistake
to drill into root canals, try to clear them, refill the now empty space—and assume that this has Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007.  All rights reserved.
This material may not be reproduced in any medium, print or electronic without prior written permission from the author.Page 7 6Healing the Gerson Way—Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases
www.thegersonway.comtaken care of the problem.
In his book Dr. Price relates that he was asked to treat the tooth of a lady who was bedfast with
rheumatoid arthritis throughout her body. He removed the previously root canal filled offending
tooth, cleaned and sterilized it, and implanted it under the skin of a rabbit. In five days the rabbit
developed severe rheumatoid arthritis; in 10 days the disease killed it. Meantime the patient started
to feel better, was able to get up, lost much of her pain and swellings, and eventually recovered.
Dr. Price was impressed by this development and decided to research it further. Whenever he
removed a damaged tooth, he proceeded in the same way to sterilize and implant it under the skin
of a rabbit. To his amazement whatever disease the patient had suffered from, showed up in the
rabbit within five days, and killed it in ten. This happened dozens, even hundreds of times with
teeth removed from patients suffering from kidney disease, heart disease, and other problems.
Dr. Price then carried out two more experiment. In one, he implanted a tooth lost by accident
from a healthy person under the skin of a rabbit and noted that the rabbit remained healthy and
eventually survived for 15 years. Next he took a tooth from a diseased patient and autoclaved it
(exposed it to steam pressure at 250 0 F=121 0 C). It made no difference: the rabbit still died of
the patient’s disease.
Having understood the biochemical damage inflicted on the whole body by treating root
canals with fillings, Dr. George Meinig resigned from the Root Canal Society and wrote a book


resses the adrenal glands
causing excessive hormone and neurotransmitter release. All this causes
acidosis. Love, on the other hand, creates the opposite. It increases the blood
and lymph flow. It improves digestion and kidney elimination. And it
alkalizes your body. Anger obstructs and restricts, and love opens and
expands. You could also say that anger causes “dis-ease” and love heals.
From a spiritual viewpoint each of our emotions is integral to creation,
for the whole is merely the sum of its parts. They will each have their own
lessons to teach you. You can judge whether one is good or bad for you atany particular time and respond accordingly, or you can merely observe the
flow of these emotions and their opposites, not allowing them to affect you in
any way, unless you want them to. You must decide what you want in your
life and in your body.
I will let you in on a little secret. When you begin to increase the energy
of your physical body through detoxification, you will start detoxifying in
all
your bodies. Thoughts and emotions stick like glue to your cells and create
subtle obstructions that you can carry for a lifetime (some say for many
lifetimes). So, if you start crying or yelling during your detoxification
process, this is the reason. Let it all come out. Be observant of your thoughts
and feelings, and try not to hold on to anything. Let these obstructions go. In
this way, your river of energy and love can dominate inside you once again.
This is truly the road to vitality and spirituality.
MODULE 6.3
How Do We Get the Body to Detoxify?

Ours is an alkaline species. Acid-forming foods cause inflammation and
congestion in the body, creating an anionic situation. This reaction causes
nutrients, blood cells, etc., to start sticking together, and encourages the
formation of lipids and oxalate stones of all types. Thus, nutrients become
unavailable to cells, which leads to cellular starvation.
Because acidosis is inflammatory and destructive to cells, the body will
use steroids, electrolysis, water, lipids (cholesterol), and other things to fight
this. This causes dehydration both extracellularly and intracellularly.
The first thing to do is to change the intake from acid-forming foods to
alkaline-forming foods. Consumption of alkaline-forming foods, which are
mainly fruits and vegetables, will begin the detoxification and rehydration
process. If you wish to speed up the cleansing process, these fruits and
vegetables must all be raw, i.e., uncooked and unprocessed. If you wish to
dig deeper into tissue and speed the process up even further, you can switch
to all raw, fresh fruits only. Fruits have the highest amounts of antioxidants
and astringent properties of all foods. Their sugars are slow burning but
powerful, and will enhance the vitality of cells faster than any other food, and
with much less digestive effort. They also have the highest electricalproperties of any food. The energies in raw fruits are so
high that they speed
up neuron transport and endocrine function.
TAKE IT EASY

Because raw fruits are so powerful in detoxifying and restoring vitality it is
important to note here that one can detoxify too fast. This can lead to extreme
cleansing symptoms. I have witnessed many severe reactions such as:
multiple abscesses popping out in the mouth, tumor-like swellings all over the
body, the skin actually opening and oozing pus, and even spitting out tumors.
This is only because the individual jumped immediately from a typical diet of
dairy foods, flesh foods and toxic chemicals to a highly pure and cleansing
one of fresh, raw fruits. A fruit diet will stir up the toxins and mucus in the
body in an aggressive manner, leaving you with some very noticeable side
effects. However, if you consume an all-raw food diet of both fruits and
vegetables for a few weeks first, this will allow for a much slower and
generally easier cleansing process.
One of the deepest ways to detoxify yourself is through water fasting. I
do not, however, recommend water fasting in chronic and especially
degenerative cases where the patient has little energy in the first place.
The process of detoxification is not always fun. Most of the more
difficult cases are from cancer, HIV, or spinal cord injuries where the
individual has become very toxic. Remember, the body will start eliminating
anything that should not be in it, even to the point of eliminating weak tissue
(like fingernails), and weak muscle tissue. This sounds more gruesome than it
is, but you should know what the body will do to clean itself out. The body
can tear itself down to a frightening level to rid itself of its weaknesses and
toxins. However, rest assured that the body
will
 rebuild itself beautifully. If
your house burned partially down, you would have to remove the old burned
material before you could properly rebuild it.
Your body has to do the same. Most doctors run in fear of this, even
though it’s a normal process of nature. Nature always eliminates the weak
and replaces it with the strong. The same thing can be said of the cells.
If you have toxic chemicals stored in your body you may experience
heart palpitations as you cleanse. This is rare, but it can happen. Remember
that we have toxins stored deep within us from as far back as when we werein our mother’s womb. Don’t expect to clean this out overnight. However, I
have seen lymphomas disappear in forty-five days, stomach cancer gone in
fifty-nine days, and diabetes eliminated in sixty days.
The body will also promote its own diaphoresis (process of perspiration)
by increasing its systemic temperature to dilate, sweat and kill parasites. The
good thing is that this process does not last long, and the cleaner you get
internally, the less cleansing is needed. You may only need to go through
one, two or three cycles of this to overcome most disease symptoms.
FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

Life is a constant process of consuming and eliminating. You will be
detoxifying for the rest of your life at one level or another; especially if you
eat fresh fruits and vegetables on a regular basis. Your body will keep
digging deeper and deeper within itself, cleansing and restoring proper
functions. Most of this processing then becomes very subtle. You won’t
know it is even going on, except for occasional symptoms of mucus
discharge, cold-type symptoms, or aches and pains. The body is amazingly
designed and highly intelligent. If you learned all that is known about
chemistry, biochemistry and physics, you still would not understand much
about the human body and how it works. Always ask the question: “What is
my body doing this for?” There is always a reason why your body does what
it does in any situation. We only have to learn
the language of the body to
understand what it is doing and why. (See
Chapter 5
,
Module 5.11
,
Body
Language).
 Observation and common sense almost always supersede science.
Although science started out by observation and common sense, it has
become very biased, yielding to industry and high finances.
To discover the real benefits of a natural healing program or healing
modality ask yourself: “What can it do for me in fixing the cause of my
problem? Can it help me gain vitality, health, and longevity? Most
importantly, does it aid in my spiritual unfolding or awakening? “ Vibrant
health, in which body, emotions, mind and soul are brought into harmony, is
true spirituality.
Remember, true Naturopathy is the study of nature and how nature
sustains its own health. When human beings finally learn the basic truths of
nature, they too will be able to restore health. Detoxification is the golden key
that unlocks the magic door of nature and allows regeneration and vitality totake place. Always keep it simple.
Since detoxification is synonymous with alkalization, the next section
will examine this process in relationship to the foods we eat.
MODULE 6.4
Alkaline-Forming and Acid-Forming Foods and Detoxification

It is important to know a little about the foods you eat. As stated earlier, one
of the most important factors about food is how it affects the pH of the body.
Foods can be divided into two basic categories: foods that have an acid
reaction in your body and foods that have an alkaline reaction. This is not
necessarily related to the pH of the food itself.
Alkalinity is the great detoxifier of the body, so foods that are alkaline-
forming will detoxify the body. The more alkaline-forming they are, the
greater and deeper you will detoxify. Fruits, in general, are an example of
high alkaline-forming foods. Alkaline constituents are also used to feed the
body. They are truly the regenerators.
Acid-forming foods slow, inhibit or stop the detoxification process. They
are inflammatory and mucus-forming to your body, ultimately causing tissue
failure. Acids can become free radicals, causing tissue damage unless linked
to an antioxidant (which is alkaline) and removed.
Acids are necessary, however, for ionization and oxidation.
Don’t be fooled. Foods either feed, clean and rebuild you, or they
destroy you. Some foods fill you full of mucus, congestion and
inflammation, which leads to hypoactivity


 she became embro iled in a
series of traumatic family events that involved her daughter and her
boyfriend. These events culmin ated in their effect in July of the following
year, some seven months later. Meanwhile, at four months on the
medication she developed noticeably increased nervousness. At five months
she experienced a twenty-one-h our uterine hemorrhage that was difficult to
stop. At the six-month period, she noted cramps in both legs.
At the nine-mon th mark, when personal tension was at its height, she
developed swelling of the left calf and the cramps in her legs became at
times excruciating. She also noted that when she washed her hair, for the
first time in her life she could not make her hair develop a suds. She
changed shampoos three times with no effect. The beauty parlor met with
the same results: no sudsing.
At that point it was noted that her blood pressure was elevated.  Her legs
continued to severely bother her and the veins in her legs were distended
until, after thirte en months on the medication, she stopped it of her own
accord. Her gynecologist did not believe that the medication was causing
her trouble, according to her account. When she stopped the medication, her
veins became normal and the cramps in her legs stopped bothering her.
However, her blood pressure remained elevated, she remained tense, her
hair retained the remarkable non-sudsing quality, the texture of her hair was
poorer, and her hair would not curl as well as it did before all this started.She then saw an internist who examined her thoroughly and could find
nothing wrong except the elevated blood pressure, which he did not think
was caused by tension or by the medication. It was within a few weeks after
this that she came to our office. Examination revealed a blood pressure of
180/1 10 to 160/98 with no other abnormal findings. She did not tell me
about the hair until later, so there were no notations made about this
condition. She was treated for three months with conventional medication
for hypertension, and the blood pressure remained constant, not responding.
About six months after she had stopped her medication, she complained of
palpitation and tenseness again, and I was ready to begin use of the packs.
Her diagnosis, recorded for purposes of this study, was hypertension and
oral contraceptive reaction.
Therapy was continued with the hypertensive medication. The only other
therapy advised was abdominal  castor oil packs applied three consecutive
nights each week for three weeks in a row with a one-hour duration for each
treatment. The third pack each week was to be followed by oral ingestion of
one ounce of olive oil. The patient followed the instructions and reported,
when she returned in three weeks, that after one week’ s treatment with the
packs, her hair sudsed like it hadn’ t in nearly ten months and there was a
marked improve ment in its textu re and in its curling qualities. The hair was
curly again. She noted no other change in symptoms.
Response was rated excellent to single therapy for the oral contraceptive
reaction; poor to combined therapy for the hypertension.
Case No. 39. A seventy-yea r-old housewife had been bothered with
dizziness which  apparently brought on an attack of syncope (brief loss of
consciousness), the cause of which had not been discovered. Several weeks
after this, she developed abdominal tenderness and pain for which she
sought our help. Her physical findings showed blood pressure to be 140/70;
there was no fever. There was generalized, moderately severe  abdominal
tenderness. Pelvic examination was not performed. Blood count and
urinalysis were normal. These findings were made one week after onset of
the pain. The tentative diagnosis was abdominal tenderness, etiology
undetermined (which is not a diagnosis, of course, but is descriptive of her
symptomatology).
She was placed on vitamins, continued on the diet she was using, and she
applied castor oil packs to her entire abdomen twice daily for one hour eachtime for a period  of twelve days. She improved rapidly during the first three
days and examination after twelve days showed all tenderness to be gone.
Response was rated as excellent to single therapy.
Case No. 41. A seventy-two -year -old married female, who was an
apartment owner, presented herself with symptoms of nervous tension,
associated with sickness in the family, and some swelling of the lower
extremities and upper abdomin al pain, all of which began several weeks
prior to that time. She had a past history of hypertension, but general good
health. Examination revealed a blood pressure of 160/90, obesity, moderate
edema of both lower extremities, and tenderness over the upper abdomen
across the area of the transverse colon. Her diagnoses were colitis of the
transverse colon, tension syndrome, and hypertension.
She was started on therapy with a tranquilizer and a diuretic-hyp ertensive
medication which she took faithfully. She was also instructed to use castor
oil packs on her upper abdomen one hour at a time, three times daily for
two weeks. She did not use the packs for the first two days because she
didn’ t think they would do anyth ing and they took too long to apply. During
this time, she noted no benefit from the other two medications. When I
reinforced the suggestion to use the packs, she did follow directions. She
noted much subjective improvement from the very first. She stated that she
obtained so much relief from the first pack that she slept three hours with it
in place. She was able to return to work after three days. The pain was
completely gone at the end of the two-week period, at which point all
tenderness in the abdomen was absent. Her tension eased as the other
symptoms and the findings impr oved. Her blood pressure, however, did not
respond to therapy.
Response was rated excellent to single therapy for the colitis, excellent to
combined therapy for the tension syndrome, and poor to combined therapy
for the hypertension. It should be noted here that the tranquilizer by itself
failed to bring relief for the tension, which the packs accomplished when
added to the established therapy.
Case No. 47. A sixty-four -year -old male laborer presented himself for
treatment becau se of the progre ssion of symptoms of pain in the abdomen,
vomiting, and general upper abdominal irritation. He had an exceptionally
long history of gastrointestinal complaints, ulcer as diagnosed by x-ray, and
repeated unsucc essful attempts to control the symptoms and the illnesswhich persisted in the stomach. Examination showed a normal blood
pressure and no fever, but tender ness over the entire abdomen, most marked
over the epigastric area. Perista lsis was hyperactive. He had been treated
with antibiotics, tranquilizers, and anti-secretory-type medications.
Diagnosis used for purposes of this study were those listed as postoperative
diagnoses: posterior penetrating gastroduodenal ulcer plus anterior
duodenal ulcer plus pyloric stenosis plus chronic cholecystitis.
Treatment at this point was aimed at continuing his prior medication and
adding the castor oil packs. He was instructed to use the packs  twice daily
for one hour each time over a two-week period. The response was not
adequate, and he was referre d to a surgeon who operated on him
successfully some seventeen days after the packs were begun.
Response was rated poor to combined therapy for all the conditions
listed. (This tends to “weight”  the statistics unduly toward the negative
response. However, there are other cases which “weight” things equally in
the other direction. This is not a highly important factor in a study where
statistics are only relatively important.)
Case No. 50. A sixty -seven-year -old housew ife had been treated for an
unknown numb er of years for high blood pressure before she presented
herself for examination and treatment at our office. She had experienced an
episode of cystitis three month s prior to that time, and a follow-up I.V.
pyelogram was negative for any pathology. She gave a history of having
had chronic sinusitis and had been allergic to many things throughout her
lifetime. She did not experience any untoward symptoms from her blood
pressure, but wanted to see it lower.
She had been under therapy with several types of anti-hypertensive and
diuretic medicat ions until three months prior, when she developed cystitis.
These medications were then stopped, and she had been given a mild
tranquilizer which she was using  at bedtime. She took no other medication.
Examination showed general negative findings with the exception of a
blood pressure of 170/90. Her diagnosis was essential hypertension.
Therapy was continued with the tranquilizer and she was instructed to
use castor oil packs for an hour each of three consecutive nights  every week
for a period of two months. When she was examined at the end of that
period of time, it was disclosed  that her use of the packs was inconsistent.
Blood pressure at that time was still 170/90. Blood pressure one month laterwas 160/100; seven months after that, 140/100; and six month s following
that, 158/88.
Response was rated poor to combined therapy.
Case No. 54. A fifty- four-year -old housewife  dropped an outdoor grill on
her left

Masking the Bland Taste of Complex Carbs
Most people who attempt to thrive on a high-carbohydrate diet devoid of fruit ru n into health problems. Primarily, this is because
most starchy carbohydrates are completely unappealing if served as is. Society has proven repeatedly for more than forty years that
people will not, in fact cannot gravitate toward a diet dominated by plain, undr essed complex carbohydrates.
Brain-destroying, neurotoxic, and profoundly addictive flavor enhance rs, called “excitotoxins,” are added to almost all
processed foods, especially frozen and diet foods. 34

Excitotoxins Enhance Flavor While Poisoning Our Foo ds

enhancers in almost all processed foods is a major cause of obesity and disea se in our country.
The most common and dangerous excitotoxins include Nutrasweet, (aspart ame) and MSG and its derivatives, which show up
on food labels as innocuous-sounding ingredients like hydrolyzed vegetable  protein, autolysis yeast, yeast extract, textured protein,
soy protein extract, sodium caseinate, natural flavoring, and spices. 35
Excitotoxins are substances that react with specialized receptors  in the brain in such a way as to lead to destruction of certain
types of brain cells. These highly addictive, neurotoxic substances ac celerate aging and stimulate the nervous system, causing
neurodegenerative diseases, neurological disorders, endocrine disorders, heart attacks, strokes, tumors, vision loss, migraines,
seizures, and many other diseases. They also worsen or mimic the symptom s of such diseases and conditions as fibromyalgia, MS,
lupus, ADD, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, chronic fatigue, and depression.
Excitotoxins are used heavily in both sweet and salty snack foods, and no law s restrict the use of these substances. Fast-food
chains hire food chemists to load our pizzas, tacos, fried chicken, bento boxes, an d the like with as much of these deadly additives
as possible, which keep us feeling “high” and coming back for more. A ll of the salty soy products, as well, (whether or not they
purport to contain MSG) are laden with highly excitotoxic free glutam ates. This is of special concern for the raw food community,
which tends to consume a tremendous amount of soy sauce, shoyu, liquid aminos, miso, and tamari.
In his personal film documentary, “Supersize Me,”  Morgan Spurlock created a vivid description of his experience living
exclusively on McDonalds’ food for 30 consecutive days. Although he did not sp ecifically use the term “excitotoxins,” he clearly
described the symptoms of addiction and withdrawal he experienced during th at month. News of the widespread use of excitotoxic
additives in junk foods is getting enough press that people are com ing to perceive a whole new level of reality in the 1960s Lay’s
potato chip jingle “nobody can eat just one.” Can you forget the tast e of Planter’s dry-roasted peanuts? (“Monosodium glutamate”
sits unabashedly on the label). Other junk foods, like Frito Lay’s “pla yfully mischievous” Cheetos snacks, boast multiple sources of
excitotoxic free glutamate. (Flamin’ Hot Cheese Flavored snacks, for  example, list monosodium glutamate, autolyzed yeast extract,
hydrolyzed soy protein, and sodium caseinate on the ingredient label.)

Fiber
Our commonly consumed cooked foods—meats and refined grain products—are ex tremely low in fiber. In fact, animal foods
contain no fiber.
Many health-minded people, thinking they are doing their bodies a favor, ende avor to eat whole-grain complex carbohydrates
to get fiber in their diets. They are on the right track, as fiber is wh at we remove from whole grains in order to make refined grains—
and dietary fiber is absolutely essential for digestive and overall he alth.
Unfortunately, these health seekers have been misled to believe tha t the fiber in grains is good for us. This is not true. There
are two broad categories of fiber, referred to as soluble and insoluble. Soluble f iber is an essential nutrient (one we cannot make
within our bodies and must therefore eat), found primarily in fruits and t o some degree in vegetables. It absorbs water and helps to
keep the stool bulky and soft. It functions as a sticky gel-like absorptive medi um to keep all substances moving through the intestines. Insoluble fiber is found primarily in grains.
Pectin and guar are the two most common soluble fibers. They are used in re cipes as thickeners because of their ability to hold
water. They also slow sugar absorption from the intestines, functionin g as built-in protection that prevent the sugars in fruits from
being absorbed into the bloodstream too rapidly. Ironically, in their isolated for m, pectin and guar are being used by the medical
establishment in the treatment of diabetics, while doctors insist th at diabetics should not consume fruit.
Before doctors truly understood the function of fiber, it used to be describ ed as a “scrub brush” for the intestines. The
insoluble fibers in grains (raw, sprouted, or cooked), however, are harsh on our de licate digestive tracts. Since they do not absorb
water, their edges and points remain sharp. These fibers literally sc rape at the delicate walls of our intestines, irritating them and
causing a thickening of the intestinal wall. This makes the fiber  less irritating but also reduces the body’s ability to absorb nut rients.
This irritation of the intestines and colon is what gives bran its re putation for encouraging bowel function. The body senses an
irritant and attempts to expel it as rapidly as possible, along with whate ver else is in the colon at the time. Anyone who uses bran
fiber for this purpose has noticed that after a short time they must inc rease the quantity of bran that they use in order to get the same
effect. The more the body increases the thickness of its mucous membran e to protect itself from irritation, the more bran must be
ingested. It is an endless cycle, similar to that of all substance abus e.
Reduced absorption, impeded assimilation, adhesion development, scar-tissue  formation, leaky gut syndrome, irritable bowel
syndrome, spastic colon, colon blockages, diverticulitis, ulcerative c olitis, Crohn’s disease, and other digestive maladies are often the
outcome of consuming insufficient fiber or fiber that is too harsh. The s oft, soluble fibers found in fruits and vegetables are necessary
for optimum digestive and colon function.

Refined Simple Carbohydrates: Junk Food
The second category of carbohydrates is the refined simple carbohydrates  found in cookies, cakes, candies, and other
confections. Refined sugars are also added to drinks, cereals, complex carbohy drate foods of all types, and anywhere else that you
see the word “sweetener” or “sweetened.” If the ingredient list inc ludes corn syrup, fructose, galactose, sucrose, dextrose,
maltodextrin, dextrin, maltose, levulose, lactose, or almost any word ending  in “ose,” refined sugars have been added.
If people don’t eat lots of fruit, they typically eat something swe et at almost every meal anyway. Orange juice, sweetened
cereals, jellies, jams, sweet rolls, and sugar in coffee ensure that  the day starts off with sweets. Lunches and dinners usually are not
complete unless some type of sweet dessert follows. Be it coffee and cake, mi lk and cookies, or any of dozens of other typical
combinations, we have found a way to replace the healthy “sweet and j uicy” provided by fruit with unhealthy, refined sweet and
(well … wet, or at least gooey) choices.
Refined simple sugars, a category that includes table sugar, are t he classic all-time-best examples of “empty calories,” that is,
calories without their full complement of original nutrients inta ct. In all forms of refined foods, some part or parts of the original
nutrient package have been removed. Regardless of method, the refining of  a food reduces its nutritional value and creates nutrient
imbalances. In my opinion, refined foods have no place in the diet of anyone wis hing to improve their nutrition or any aspect of their
health.
Foods can contain partially empty or completely empty calories, depending upon  the amount of
