If you asked a person on the street what uric acid is,
he or she would invariably answer that it's a toxic body waste. No so, say medical researchers at the University of California at
Berkeley who in 1982 reported they had discovered that
"uric acid destroys body-damaging, cancer-causing free radicals and
is considered to be one of the physiological factors that enable
human beings to live so much longer than other mammals." But what about urea? Urea is in urine and isn't that the toxic stuff
that causes uremic poisoning? Actually, medical researchers
discovered many decades ago that urea, far from being a toxic body
waste, is an incredibly versatile, far-reaching and effective medicinal
agent. In numerous medical studies, it was shown that urea is one of
the most potent non-toxic virucidal agents ever discovered. In one particular study, the rabies and polio virus [sic] were killed so
quickly and efficiently by concentrated urea, that even the laconic
researchers themselves were surprised: "Urea is such a relatively
inactive substance and certainly not a protoplasmic poison such as
are most virucidal agents, that it is in a way surprising that rabies
and poliomyelitis are killed so easily by urea solutions"
(McKay & Schroeder, Society of Experimental Biology, 1936). In reality, Urea is an FDA-approved medicinal agent that doctors and
researchers utilize in an amazing variety of therapeutic modalities. Because of its remarkable and comprehensive anti-neoplastic
(anti-tumor) properties, it's presently being used in anti-cancer drugs
and is extensively studied for use in cancer treatments. 34 Urine Therapy Before Birth The urea compound drug, gficazide, is used successfully
by the medical establishment in treating both insulin-dependent and
non-insulin-dependent diabetics. As a natural diuretic, urea is unparalleled, and is a proven and accepted
treatment in cases of edema or swelling such as excess cerebral and spinal
pressure, glaucoma, epilepsy, meningitis, even premenstrual edema and
many other disorders in which excess fluid is a problem. As one American neurosurgeon reported regarding a patient who nearly
died form complications following brain surgery:
"Urea was administered intravenously as an emergency measure. Within 20 minutes from the start of injection, her blood pressure had
returned to normal....from this time on her recovery was uneventful. In this case, urea was definitely life-saving, because prior to its
. administration, the patient's survival was unlikely. In many similar
instances urea was found to be life-saving"
{Dr. M. Javid, University of Wisconsin}

1. Re-absorption and re-use of nutrients. This hypothesis is based on the idea that urine can cure illnesses
because it contains minerals, vitamins and other nutrients that are
essential for one's health. Actually, we obtain these substances in
sufficient quantities from the food we eat, assuming that we follow a
healthy, well-balanced diet. By drinking or massaging with urine, we
possibly re-use and re-absorb a number of vitamins, amino acids, salts,
hormones, etc. as nutrients. Though, this can be especially important
during illness, when diseased body tissue enters the blood and must
therefore be excreted. The filtering process in the kidneys should break
down this tissue to its original materials, after which it can be re-used by
the body to build up new tissue. 2. Re-absorption of hormones. The basis for this hypothesis is that we can re-introduce these
into the body by drinking or massaging with urine. Certain hormones have a very specific effect during a healing process. For example, corticosteroids secreted by the adrenal cortex inhibit
infections and have a positive effect in the treatment of allergies such as
asthma and hay fever, skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis,
and inflammatory illnesses such as rheumatism. 35 Re-absorption can be a means for the body to generally conserve energy:
re-ingestion of hormones gives the body the chance to re-use
at least a number of these, so that it is not necessary to expend energy
on manufacturing new hormones. Since proteins are harmed by the acids, pepsins and enzymes in the
digestive tract, the hormones re-absorbed into the body if one drinks urine
will mainly be the small ones which are not proteins (protein-complexes). The sex hormones, adrenal gland hormones and thyroid hormones will
almost certainly be re-absorbed, the effects of which need to be more
closely researched. The external application of urine to the skin allows
hormones to be re-absorbed by the body without being destroyed. Massaging with urine is therefore an important complementary component
of urine therapy, as urine is directly absorbed into the tissue. Enemas are also a good way to prevent destruction of certain hormones by
gastric juices, which is why this method often helps cure allergic disorders
better than when urine is orally ingested. The same applies for urine injections. 3. Re-absorption of enzymes. Urine contains many enzymes, which might explain why urine therapy is
effective against arteriosclerosis, heart attack, pulmonary embolism, etc. Based on research conducted on the enzyme Urokinase, positive results
can be expected from the effects of enzymes in urine as a 'total entity'. Urokinase causes vasodilation and resembles nitroglycerine in its ability to
strengthen the bloodstream from the coronary artery to the cardiac muscle. Urokinase is extracted from urine and brought on the market as medicine
on a large scale. Other enzymes are probably active in urine,
but more specific information is not yet available.. 4. Re-absorption of urea. Scientists estimate that 25% of the urea in an adult finds its way into the
intestines, where it is decomposed into ammonia by intestinal bacteria. Some of this ammonia ends up in the liver, where part of it is converted
into urea, and another part is converted into glutamine, an extremely useful
amino acid. According with a report presented by John Wynhausen at the
First All India Conference on Urine Therapy, it is quite possible that urea is
indeed converted into glutamine by ammonia. Research demonstrates the vital importance of glutamine in the
maintenance and construction of specialised tissue, such as in the brain,
the small intestine and in the growth and activity of the mucous membrane
of the intestinal canal. Glutamine has a healing effect on ulcers and wounds in the intestinal
canal. The most important function of glutamine, however,
is its ability to strengthen the immune system,
36 and could be an important key in explaining why urine therapy
is such a successful method of treatment. Another noteworthy application of urea can be found
in the treatment of cancer by Professor Dr. Danopoulos. He experimented with injecting urea mixed with a saline solution in and
around skin cancer and as a treatment for breast cancer. He also
conducted research on drinking urea dissolved in water in order to fight
liver cancer, and reported positive results. Danopoulos then began combining urea with creatine hydrate,
another component of urine, and in this way successfully treated
other kinds of cancer. 5. Immunological effect. Clearly urine is not toxic, although some toxic substances might be
present in urine in small amounts, especially if one is ill. This small amount of toxic substances possibly contributes to the
effectiveness of urine therapy. If toxic substances enter the body,
the body's defence mechanisms are called into action. A similar process takes place when a person is vaccinated. This stimulates the immune system to manufacture antibodies
(and thus defend the body),
and could be called a homoeopathic or isopathic effect. Doctor Abele suggests that the presence of antigens and antibodies
in urine strengthens the immune system when urine is re-introduced
into the body. The re-introduction of small amounts of bacteria or parasites
found in urine may stimulate the production of lgE. lgA
(a virus inhibiting substance that prevents micro-organisms
from becoming embedded in the mucous) also plays a role here. lgA is found in mucous and in excretion products, and therefore also in
urine. Urine therapy increases the production of lgA, which possibly
explains why this therapy has a positive effect on infections of the urinary
passages and the kidneys while other treatments offer little relief. 6. Bactericidal and virucidal. Although it is not yet entirely clear why urine has a germicidal and
antiseptic effect, it is known that urea plays an important role here. Ammonia and salt also have a similar purifying effect. Besides killing
bacteria, urine also inhibits or destroys various viruses and fungi. Scientific research has demonstrated that both urea and ammonia have a
powerful anti-viral effect. Applying urine to a fresh cut or scrape prevents
infection and keeps flies away (important in countries with a warm climate). Urine compresses from


 the time he had finished telling me
this fantastic story I, too, was convinced of its truth, and was
half-tempted to join him, but finally decided against it. Soon he departed, and I consoled myself for not going with
the thought that perhaps one should be satisfied to grow old
gracefully; that perhaps the Colonel was wrong in trying to
get more out of life than was vouchsafed to other men. And
yet—a Fountain of Youth!!! What a thrilling idea it was! For
his own sake I hoped that the old Colonel might find it. Months passed. In the press of every-day affairs Colonel
Bradford and his “Shangri-La” had grown dim in my memory,
when one evening on returning to my apartment, there was a
letter in the Colonel’s own hand-writing. He was still alive! The letter seemed to have been written in joyous desperation. In it he said that in spite of maddening delays and set-backs
he actually was on the verge of finding the “Fountain.” He
gave no address. It was more months before I heard from him again. This
time he had good news. He had found the “Fountain of
Youth”! Not only that but he was bringing it back to the
States with him, and would arrive within the next two months. Practically four years had elapsed since I had last seen the old
man. Would he have changed any, I wondered? He was older,of course, but perhaps no balder, although his stoop might
have increased a little. Then the startling idea came to me
that perhaps this “Fountain of Youth’ might really have
helped him. But in my mind’s eye I could not picture him dif-
ferently than ] had seen him last, except perhaps a little older. One evening I decided to stay at home by myself and catch
up on my reading, maybe write a few letters. I had just set-
tled down to comfortable reading when the telephone rang. “A Colonel Bradford to see you, sir,” said the desk clerk. “Send him up,” I shouted, and casting the book aside I
hastened to the door. For a moment I stared, and then with
dismay I saw that this was not Colonel Bradford but a much
younger person. Noting my surprise the man said, “Weren’t you expecting
me?”
“No,” I confessed. “I thought it would be an old friend of
mine, a Colonel Bradford.”
“I came to see you about Colonel Bradford, the man you
were expecting,” he answered. “Come in,” I invited. “Allow me to introduce myself,” said the stranger, entering. “My name is Bradford.”
“Oh, you are Colonel Bradford's son,” I exclaimed. “I have
often heard him speak of you. You resemble him somewhat.”
“No, I am not my son,” he returned. “I am none other than
your old friend, Colonel Bradford, the old man who went away
to the Himalayas.”
1 stood in incredulous amazement at his statement. Then it
slowly dawned upon me that this really was the Colonel Brad-
ford whom I had known; but what a change had taken place
in his appearance. Instead of the stooped, limping, sallow old
gentleman with a cane, he was a tall, straight, ruddy-com-
plexioned man in the prime of life. Even his hair, which had
grown back, held no trace of gray. My enthusiasm and curiosity knew no bounds. Soon I was
plying him with questions in rapid-fire order until he threw up
his hands. “Wait, wait,” he protested, laughingly. “I shall start at the
beginning and tell you al] that has happened.” And this he
proceeded to do. Upon arriving in India the Colonel started directly for the
district in which lived the natives who had told of “The
Fountain of Youth.” Fortunately, he knew quite a bit of their
—s5—language. He spent several months there, making friends
with the people and picking up all the information he could
about the Lamasery he sought. It was a long, slow process,
but his shrewdness and persistence finally brought him to the
coveted place he had heard about so often but only half-
believed existed. Colonel Bradford’s account of what transpired after being
admitted to the Lamasery sounded like a fairy tale. I only
wish that time and space permitted me to set down here all of
his experiences; the interesting practices of the Lamas, their
culture, and their utter indifference to the work-a-day world. There were no real old men there. To his surprise the Lamas
considered Colonel Bradford a quite novel sight, for it had been
a long time since they had seen anyone who looked as old as he. The Lamas good-naturedly referred to the Colonel as “The
Ancient One.”
“For the first two weeks after I arrived,” said the Colonel, “I
was like a fish out of water. I marveled at everything I saw,
and at times could hardly believe what my eyes beheld. I soon
felt much better, was sleeping like a top every night, and only
used my cane when hiking in the mountains. “A month after I arrived I received the biggest surprise of
my life. In fact, I was quite startled. It was the day I entered
for the first time, a large, well-ordered room which was used
as a kind of library for ancient manuscripts. At one end of
the room was a full-length mirror. It had been over two years
since I had last seen my reflection so with great curiosity I
stepped in front of the glass. “] stared in amazement, so changed was my appearance. It
seemed that J had dropped 15 years from my age. It was my
first intimation that I was growing younger; but from then on
I changed so rapidly that it was apparent to all who knew me. Soon the honorary title of “The Ancient One” was heard no
more.”
A knock at the door interrupted the Colonel. I opened it to
admit a couple of friends from out of town who had picked this
most inauspicious time to spend a sociable evening with me. 1 hid my disappointment and chagrin as best I could and intro-
duced them to Colonel Bradford. We all chatted together for a
while and then the Colonel said, rising:
“I am sorry that I must leave so early, but I have an appoint-
ment with an old friend who is leaving the city tonight. 1 hope
I shall see you all again shortly.”
—6—At the door he turned to me and said, softly,
“Could you have lunch with me tomorrow? I promise, if
you can do so you shall hear all about ‘The Fountain of
Youth.’”
We agreed as to the time and place to meet and the Colonel
departed. As I returned to the living room, one of my friends
remarked,
“That is certainly a most interesting man, but he looks
awfully young to be retired from army service.”
“How old do you suppose he is?” I asked. “Well, he doesn’t look forty,” answered my friend, “but from
the experiences he has had I suppose he must be that old.”
“Yes, he’s all of that,” I said evasively, and deftly turned
the conversation into another channel. I thought it best to
arouse no wonderment regarding the Colonel until I knew what
his plans were. The next day, after having lunch together, we repaired to
the Colonel’s room in a nearby hotel, and there at last he told
me about “The Fountain of Youth.”
“The first important thing I was taught after entering the
Lamasery,” he began, “was this. The body has seven centers,
which, in English, could be called Vortexes. These are kind of
magnetic centers. They revolve at great speed in the healthy
body, but when slowed down—well that is just another name
for old age, ill-health, and senility. There are two of these
Vortexes in the brain; one at the base of the throat; another
in the right side of the body in the region of the liver; one in
the sexual center; and one in each knee. “These spinning centers of activity extend beyond the flesh
in the healthy individual, but in the old, weak, senile person
they hardly reach the surface, except in the knees. The
quickest way to regain health, youth, and vitality is to start
these magnetic centers spinning again. There are but five
practices that will do this. Any one of them will be helpful, but
all five are required to get glowing results. These five exercises
are really not exercises at all, in the physical culture sense. The Lamas think of them as ‘Rites,’ and so instead of calling
them exercises or practices, we too, shall call them Rites.”

The supr eme good is like water,
which nourishes all things without trying to. It flows to low places loathed by all men. Therefore, it is like the T ao. Live in accor dance with the natur e of things. In dwelling, be close to the land. In meditation, go deep in the heart. In dealing with others, be gentle and kind. Stand by your wor d.
Govern with equity. Be timely in choosing the right moment. One who lives in accor dance with natur e
does not go against the way of things. He moves in harmony with the pr esent moment,
always knowing the truth of just what to do. OceanofPDF.comLiving in the Flow
The Tao and water are synonymous according to the teachings of Lao-tzu. You are water; water is you. Think about the first nine months of your life
after conception: Y ou lived in, and were nourished by, amniotic fluid, which
is truly uncondi tional love flowing into you... flowing as you. You are
now 75 percent water (and your brain is 85 percent), and the rest is simply
muscled water. Think about the mysterious magical nature of this liquid energy that we
take for granted. Try to squeeze it, and it eludes us; relax  our hands into it,
and we experience it readily. If it stays stationary, it will become stagnant; if
it is allowed to flow, it will stay pure. It does not seek the high spots to be
above it all, but settles for the lowest places. It gathers into rivers, lakes,
and streams; courses to the sea; and then evaporates to fall again as rain. It
maps out nothing and it plays no favorites: It doesn’ t intend to provide
sustenance to the animals and plants. It has no plans to irrigate the fields; to
slake our thirst; or to provide the opportunity to swim, sail, ski, and scuba
dive. These are some of the benefits that come naturally from water simply
doing what it does and being what it is. The Tao asks you to clearly see the parallels between you and this
naturally flowing substance that allows life to sustain itself. Live as water
lives, since you are water. Become as contented as is the fluid that animates
and supports you. Let your thoughts and behaviors move smoothly in
accordance with the nature of all things. It is natural for you to be gentle, to
allow others to be free to go where they’re inclined to go, and to be as they
need to be witho ut interference from you. It is natural to trust in the eternal
flow, be true to your inner inclinations, and stick to your word. It is natural
to treat everyon e as an equal. All of these lessons can be derived by
observing how water, which sustains all life, behaves. It simply moves, and
the bene fits it provides occur from it being what it is, in harm ony with the
present moment and knowing the truth of precisely how to behave. What follows is what Lao-tzu might say to you, based upon his writing of
the 8th verse of the T ao Te Ching:When you’r e free to flow as water, you’r e free to communicate
naturally—information is exchanged, and knowledge advances in a
way that benefits everyone. Be careful not to assign yourself a place of importance above anyone else. Be recep tive to everyone, partic ularly those who may not routine ly receive
respect, such as the uneducated, homeless, or troubled members of our
society. Go to the “low places loathed by all men,” and have an open mind
when you’re there. Look for the Tao in everyone you encounter;  and make a
special effort to have acceptance, gentleness, and kindness course through
you to others. By not being irritating, you’ll be received with respect. By making every
effort to avoid controlling the lives of others, you’ll be in peaceful harmony
with the natural order of the T ao. This is the way you nourish others without
trying. Be like water—which creates opportunities for swimming, fishing,
surfing, drinkin g, wading, sprinkling, floating, and an endless list of
benefits—by not trying to do anything other than simply flow. Let your thoughts float fr eely. Forget about fighting life or trying to be something else; rather, allow
yourself to be like the material  compound that comprises every aspect of
your physical being. In The Hidden Messages in Water, Masaru Emoto
explains that we are water, and water wants to be free. The author has
thoroughly explo red the ways in which this compound reacts, noting that by
respecting and loving it, we can 8th Verse literally change its crystallization
process. If kept in a container with the words love, thank you, or you’r e
beautiful imprinted on it, water becomes beautiful radiant crystals. Y et if the
words on the container are you fool, Satan,  or I will kill you, the crystals
break apart, are distorted, and seem confused. The implications of Emoto’ s work are stupendous. Since consciousness is
located within us and we’re essentially water, then if we’re out of balance in
our intentions, it’s within the realm of possibility that our intentions can
impact the entire planet (and beyond) in a destru ctive way. As our creator,
the eternal Tao, might put it, “Water of life am I, poured forth for thirsty
men.”
Do the T ao NowDrink water silently today, while reminding yourself with each sip to
nourish others in the same life-flourishing way that streams give to the
animals and rain delivers to the plants. Note how many places water is there
for you—serving you by flowing naturally. Say a prayer of gratitu de for this
life-sustaining, always-flowing substance. OceanofPDF.com9th Verse
To keep on filling
is not as good as stopping. Overfilled, the cupped hands drip,
better to stop pouring. Sharpen a blade too much
and its edge will soon be lost. Fill your house with jade and gold
and it brings insecurity. Puff yourself with honor and pride
and no one can save you fr om a fall. Retir e when the work is done;
this is the way of heaven. OceanofPDF.comLiving Humility
As the eternal Tao is in a contin uous state of creating, it knows precisely
when enough is enough. Deep within ourselves, we sense that this
organizing principle of uncond itional supply knows when to stop, so we
don’t need to question the quantities that the Tao brings forth. The creative
Source is beautifully balanced in the principle of humility elucid

to	understand	how	worry	works. You’re	on	pins	and	needles. Nothing	bad	has
happened	to	you	yet,	but	you’re	sure	it’s	going	to. Your	soul	doesn’t	want	you	to	worry. Worry	is	unreal. It	makes	you	feel	pain

you’re	going	to	deal	with	a	situation,	your	soul	will	help	bring	you	a	sense	of

Forgetting	your	soul	is	hard	to	describe. It’s	like	being	a	millionaire	who
thinks	he’s	poor	because	he	doesn’t	remember	what’s	in	the	bank. It’s	like

is	always	there,	ready	for	you	to	remember	it. The	way	of	the	mind	could	be
called	the	way	of	reminding—you	remind	yourself	that	your	spirit	is	alwayspresent;	it	is	in,	around,	and	everywhere. The	whole	universe	vibrates	with
every	thought,	according	to	physics. The	messages	sent	by	your	soul	are
sometimes	sudden	flashes,	sometimes	just	a	steady	feeling	that	tells	you,	deep
in	your	heart,	that	you	belong,	you	are	safe,	you	are	part	of	everything. All	it

single	leaf	fell	from	the	tree. It	fluttered	and	swiveled	through	the	air	as	it
dropped. Baba	saw	it	too. “Do	you	think	you	can	catch	that?”	he	asked. I	knew	how	hard	it	is	to	catch	a	falling	leaf,	because	I	had	tried	before. I
grabbed	at	it,	but	the	next	puff	of	air	seemed	to	carry	the	leaf	just	out	of	reach
—nothing	is	more	slippery	than	a	leaf	that	doesn’t	want	to	be	caught. “Can	you?”	I	asked	when	my	try	was	over. A	second	leaf	was	falling	toward	us. Baba	didn’t	reach	up	or	even	look	at	it. When	the	leaf	was	just	in	front	of	his	face,	his	hand	darted	out,	and	as	easy	as
that,	he	caught	it. “You	see?”	he	said. “I	am	just	like	a	snake	in	the	sun. One	moment	I	am	so
still	that	I	could	be	sleeping,	but	when	I	strike,	I	move	instantly,	with	total

The	way	of	silence	isn’t	about	being	quiet	for	its	own	sake. Silence	is	how
you	are	naturally	when	you	are	certain	about	something,	because	the	mind
keeps	talking	only	as	long	as	it	is	in	doubt. Baba	was	really	teaching	me	about
being	a	spiritual	warrior. That’s	a	term	you	may	have	read
	or	heard	about. Spiritual	warriors	aren’t	fighting	other	people;	they’re	fighting	not	to	be
mentally	foggy	and	doubtful. So	it’s	not	a	martial	art. Instead,	spiritual	warriors	are	training	to	know	who	they	are. When	you’re
certain	about	that	one	thing,	the	rest	is	simple. In	India	there’s	an	ancient
saying,	“I	am	That.”	What	it	means	is	that	if	you	strip	away	all	labels,	you	are
pure	spirit	or	essence. People	usually	say,	“I

 body. The second way bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics is by the transfer of immunity from a resistant bacterium to its progeny, thus ensuring the survival of subsequent generations of microbes. In some countries, including the United States, patients expect and demand anti -
biotics from doctors, even in situations where they are inappropriate or ineffective. Because microbes are always mutating, some random mutation eventually will
 protect against the drug. As people enjoy the benefits of antibiotics, their misuse
promotes antibiotic resistance in many lethal bacteria. Resensitizing resistant bacteria to antibiotics so that they can be killed is the
objective of searching for antimicrobial adjuvants that can be used to boost otherwise ineffective antibiotics against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus  (MRSA),
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Pseudomonas, Clostridium difficile, and other super -
bugs that can cause lethal infectious outbreaks in hospitals and institutions. The emergence of multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant M. tuber -
culosis  throughout the developing world is very disturbing in the present scenario
of tuberculosis (TB) management. TB has always been a global problem and tends to increase in prevalence mainly in the developing countries of the world, 116 Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease
many of the affected living in poverty, but is also problematic in industrialized
nations, including the United States.1
M. tuberculosis  usually attacks the lungs, but these pathogens can invade any part
of the body such as the kidney, spine, and brain. There are 10 drugs currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) for treating TB. Before the emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens, potent drugs such as rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide were effective as first-line anti-TB agents in the treatment of latent or active TB. Most patients with active TB can be treated initially with isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and eth-ambutol for 8 weeks, and this regimen can be followed by 18 weeks of treatment with isoniazid and rifampicin if needed. 2
Multidrug-resistant TB is defined by resistance to the two most effective first-line
drugs, isoniazid and rifampicin.3 When bacteria are resistant to second-line antibi -
otics, they are called extremely resistant. Recently, strains of M. tuberculosis  have
been identified that are resistant to all available antibiotics. This is representative of the major problems of antibiotic resistance and the cause of considerable concern if these strains begin to quickly spread worldwide. Approximately 3.3% of new multidrug-resistant TB cases are resistant to both
isoniazid and rifampicin, so other drug combinations must be tried. However, most of these drug combinations fail to fully treat TB, and consequently, there is a fun -
damental need to explore alternative anti-TB agents that can kill strains resistant to currently available drugs and for new drugs that are better tolerated and will shorten treatment regimens. 4
DMSO IN MULTIDRUG-RESISTANT TUBERCULOSIS
Researchers working in the field of microbiological pharmacotherapeutics are looking to find ways to make first-line antibiotic therapies effective against drug-resistant strains of bacteria. Part of this research is to search for adjunct therapy that can help current antibiotics function more effectively, even in multidrug-resistant strains of bacteria. Many of the early studies examining the role of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in
multidrug-resistant TB were done by Russian and Polish scientists in the mid-1970s. A summary of these studies details some of the properties observed when DMSO was used as an adjuvant to antibiotics against M. tuberculosis –resistant bacteria or by itself. In one study, isoniazid-resistant TB bacteria were inoculated into guinea pigs that
were divided into two groups: the first group underwent isoniazid treatment and the second group was treated with a single oral dose of DMSO and isoniazid 2 weeks after inoculation with tubercle bacilli. 5 When control animals died from the bacterial
inoculation after 80 days, samples were taken from liver, lymph nodes, and spleens and cultured and examined microscopically. 5 All guinea pigs treated with DMSO–
isoniazid survived beyond 1 year. Animals not treated with DMSO yielded tubercle bacilli in the collected organs and appeared entirely resistant to isoniazid treatment. 5
These findings indicated that reversion to isoniazid sensitivity by DMSO permitted a cure of the experimental animals infected with an isoniazid-resistant strain of tuber -
cle bacilli, suggesting that this drug combination may be clinically useful in human
 antibiotic-resistant TB.117 DMSO in Clinical Microbiology
A subsequent study by the same investigators replicated the guinea pig experiments
in vitro  by isolating isoniazid- and rifampicin-resistant tubercle bacilli from patients
with pulmonary TB.6 This study consisted of cultures containing 61 strains of tubercle
bacilli resistant to isoniazid and 19 strains resistant to rifampicin. DMSO 5% exposure
to the cultures resulted in 19/61 strains resistant to isoniazid reverted to sensitivity and all 19 rifampicin-resistant strains also reverted to sensitivity after DMSO exposure. 6
The data showed that complete reversion of rifampicin sensitivity was obtained with DMSO and also reversion of some isoniazid-resistant tubercle bacilli strains indicated support for a clinical study of these antibiotics combined with DMSO. DMSO has also been reported to stabilize rifampicin for periods of up to 8 months
without any loss of potency by this antibiotic. 7
Aside from its preservation of shelf life for many drugs, a common use for DMSO
is its ability to act as a safe and versatile solvent for many antibiotics, including those used for antibiotic-resistant pathogens. 8 There are no data relating to DMSO acting
or synergistically potentiating antibiotic activity when it is used as a solvent. These findings created much interest among investigators interested in antibiotic-
resistant therapy, and reports soon appeared in an attempt to further examine the ability of DMSO to restore sensitivity to chemotherapeutic compounds used to treat various resistant bacterial strains. M. tuberculosis  strains, resistant to rifampicin, isoniazid, streptomycin,
paraminosalicylic acid, thioacetozone, ethambutol, and prothionamide, were grown in cultures containing these drugs together with either DMSO at 1% concentration or water. 9 Susceptibility tests were applied, and resensibilization
to ethambutol, streptomycin, and thioacetozone was observed only in DMSO-treated cultures. 9 Moreover, many M. tuberculosis  strains resistant to isoniazid
and all strains resistant to rifampicin became sensitive to these drugs when com -
bined with DMSO.9
The ribosomal subunit 30S is considered a site of action of streptomycin and also
a site of resistance for certain strains of Escherichia coli  and other bacteria. These
mutant germs show an impermeability to streptomycin that confers resistance to the drug’s action. 10 The use of DMSO to overcome E. coli  resistance to streptomycin in
cultures showed that these pathogens decreased their permeability and increased their uptake of streptomycin, thus allowing a killing effect by the antiobiotic. 11 The
effect by DMSO on E. coli  cell membrane with respect to enhanced streptomycin
uptake can only be surmised. Drug-resistant isolates of Mycobacterium avium–Mycobacterium intracellulare
were isolated and cultured in vitro  in the presence of single drugs alone and in com -
bination with 2.5% DMSO.12 Bacterial isolates were exposed to first-line antibiotics
used for the treatment of TB, including rifampicin, streptomycin, ethambutol, and isoniazid, and all showed a degree of killing power that varied depending on the bac-terial strain, but with the addition of DMSO to each antibiotic, a 26%–30% increase in inhibitory bacterial growth was observed. 12
Thirty-two patients with destructive pulmonary TB were treated with strep -
tomycin and penicillin in 10% and 25% solutions of DMSO through inhala -
tion. Fourteen of the patients showed absence of M. tuberculosis excretion. Most patients showed improvement, including a decrease in manifestations of 118 Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease
nonspecific endobronchitis, a decrease in the perifocal infiltration, and a decrease
in the dimensions of destruction of lung tissue.12a
These early studies showing the ability of DMSO to enhance antibiotic sensitivity
to drug-resistant pathogens partly introduced the concept of the adjuvant, defined as a compound that could increase the killing power of antibiotics and antimicrobial agents that by themselves failed to inhibit bacterial growth in vitro  or in vivo. No longer would magic bullets like penicillin create their magic on a growing list
of superbugs; now, it was necessary to find adjuvants that could help fight germs and postpone the day when first-line antibiotics would no longer work. The superbugs have devised ingenious ways to evolve in order to elude and weaken
antib


 the same theme. Think on this deeply and you will see that it
is true. This is what I have called the
Sponsoring Thought. It is either a thought
of love or fear. This is the thought behind
the thought behind the thought. It is the  first
thought. It is prime force. It is the raw
energy that drives the engine of human
experience. And here is how human behavior produces
repeat experience after repeat  experience; it is why humans love, then destroy, then
love again: always there is the  swing from
one emotion to the other. Love sponsors
fear sponsors love sponsors  fear...
...And the reason is found in the first lie —
the lie which you hold as the truth about
God—that God cannot be trusted; that
God’s love cannot be depended upon; that
God’s acceptance of you is conditional; that
the ultimate outcome is thus in doubt. For if
you cannot depend on God’s love to always
be there, on whose love can you  depend? If God retreats and withdraws when you do
not perform properly, will not  mere morta ls
also?...And so it is that in the moment you pledge
your highest love, you greet your  greatest
fear. For the first thing you worry about after
saying “I love you” is whether you’ll hear it
back. And if you hear it back, then you
begin immediately to wor ry that the love
you have just found, you will lose. And so
all action becomes a reaction —defense
against loss —even as you seek to defend
yourself against the loss of God. Yet if you knew Who You Are —that you are
the most magnificent, the most  remarkable,
the most splendid being God has ever
created —you would never fear. For who
could reject such wondrous magnificence? Not even God could find fault in  such a
being. But you do not know Who You Are, and you
think you are a great deal less. And  where
did you g et the idea of how much less than
magnificent you are? From the  only people whose word you would take on everything. From your mother and your  father. These are the people who love you the
most. Why would they lie to you? Yet have
they not told you that yo u are too much of
this, and not enough of that? Have they  not
reminded you that you are to be seen and
not heard? Have they not scolded you in some of the
moments of your greatest exuberance? And, did they not encourage you to set
aside some of your wildes t imagining? These are the messages you’ve received,
and though they do not meet the criteria,
and are thus not messages from God, they
might as well have been, for they have
come from the gods of your universe surely
enough. It was your parents who taught  you that
love is conditional —you have felt their
conditions many times —and that is the
experience you take into your own love
relationships. It is also the experience you bring to Me. From this experience you draw your
conclusions about Me. Within this
framework  you speak your truth. “God is a
loving God,” you say, “but if you break His
commandments, He will punish you with
eternal banishment and everlasting
damnation.”
For have you not experienced the
banishment of your own parents? Do you
not know the pa in of their damnation? How,
then, could you imagine it to be any
different with Me? You have forgotten what it was like to be
loved without condition. You do not
remember the experience of the love of
God. And so you try to imagine what God’s
love must be like, based on what you see
of love in the world. You have projected the role of “parent” onto
God, and have thus come up with a  God
Who judges and rewards or punishes,
based on how good He feels about what
you’ve been up to. But this is a simplistic
view of God, based on your mythology. It
has nothing to do with Who I Am. Having thus created an entire thought
system about God based on human
experience rather than spiritual truths, you
then create an entire reality around love. It
is a fear -based reality, r ooted in the idea of
a fearful, vengeful God. Its Sponsoring  Thought is wrong, but to deny that thought
would be to disrupt your whole theology. And though the new theology which would
replace it would truly be your salvation,  you
cannot accept it, because  the idea of a God
Who is not to be feared, Who will  not judge,
and Who has no cause to punish is simply
too magnificent to he  embraced within even
your grandest notion of Who and What God
is. This fear -based love reality dominates your
experience of love; indeed, actually  creates
it. For not only do you see yourself
receiving love which is conditional, you  also
watch yourself giving it in the same way. And even while you withhold and  retreat
and set your conditions, a part of you
knows t his is not what love really is. Still,
you seem powerless to change the way you dispense it You’ve learned the  hard
way, you tell yourself, and you’ll be damned
if you’re going to leave yourself  vulnerable
again. Yet the truth is, you’ll be damned if
you don’t. [By your own (mistaken) thoughts about
love do you damn yourself never to
experience it purely. So, too, do you damn
yourself never to know Me as I really am. Until you do. For you shall not be able to
deny Me forever, and the moment will  come
for our Reconciliation.] Every action taken by human beings is
based in love or fear, not simply those
dealing with relationships. Decisions
affecting business, industry, politics,
religion,  the education of your young, the
social agenda of your nations, th e
economic goals  of your society, choices involving war, peace, attack, defense,
aggression,  submission; determinations to
covet or give away, to save or to share, to
unite or to  divide —every single free choice
you ever undertake arises out of one of the
only two  possible thoughts there are: a
thought of love or a thought of fear. Fear is the energy which contracts, closes
down, draws in, runs, hides, hoards,
harms. Love is the energy which expands, opens
up, sends out, stays, reveals, shares,
heals. Fear w raps our bodies in clothing, love
allows us to stand naked. Fear clings to
and clutches all that we have, love gives all
that we have away. Fear holds close, love
holds dear. Fear grasps, love lets go. Fear rankles, love soothes. Fear attacks, love
amends. Every human thought, word, or deed is
based in one emotion or the other. You
have  no choice about this, because there is
nothing else from which to choose. But you
have free choice about which of these to
select. You make it sound so easy, and yet in the
moment of decision fear wins more often
than not. Why is that? You have been taught to live in fear. You
have been told about the survival of the
fittest and the victory of the strongest and
the success of the cleverest. Precious  little
is said about the g lory of the most loving. And so you strive to be the fittest, the
strongest, the cleverest —in one way or another —and if you see yourself as
something less than this in any situation,
you fear loss, for you have been told that  to
be less is to lose. And so of course you choose the action
fear sponsors, for that is what you have
been taught. Yet I teach you this: when you
choose the action love sponsors, then  will
you do more than survive, then will you do
more than win, then will you do more  than
succeed. Th en will you experience the full
glory of Who You Really Are, and  who you
can be. To do this you must turn aside the
teachings of your well -meaning, but
misinformed,  worldly tutors, and hear the
teachings of those whose wisdom comes
from another  source. There are many such teachers among you,
as always there have been, for I will not
leave you without those who would show
you, teach you, guide you, and remind you
of these truths. Yet the greatest reminder is
not anyone outside you, but the voice
within you. This is the first tool that I use,
because it is the most accessible. The voice within is the loudest voice with
which I speak, because it is the closest to
you. It is the voice which tells you whether
everything else is true or false, right or
wrong,  good or bad as you have defined it. It is the radar that sets the course, steers
the ship, guides the journey if you but let it. It is the voice which tells you right now
whether the very words you are reading are
words of love or words of fear. By

ing outsiders who don’t understand what you are doing. However, you know what you are doing and why, and that is all that matters. Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Gerson Therapy is so fundamentally different from the usual pill-popping, symptom-
centered approach of orthodox medicine, that newcomers to this method of healing find some
of its details puzzling. So it is important to explain the reasons behind the rules; once understood,
they prove to be eminently logical. What follows is a random selection of the most frequently
asked questions with the appropriate answers. Q: Why not steam vegetables for a short while, then use the water at the bottom of the pan in
the soup, rather than cook all the life out of the vegetables over a long time? A: Dr. Gerson was very specific about using the lowest possible heat for cooking vegetables. High heat—steam is hotter than boiling water—changes the colloidal structure of the nutrients,
particularly the proteins but also the minerals, and makes them hard to absorb and assimilate. Dr.
Gerson even suggested putting a heat disperser under the pan to keep the heat just high enough to
simmer the food slowly, until well done. This method does not “cook the life out of the food.” The only nutrients that are damaged
are the enzymes, which die in temperatures above 140o Fahrenheit. But patients get a huge supply
of enzymes in the fresh raw juices to make up for that loss. The lower heat preserves protein and
mineral structures and some vitamins. Suggesting that the water remaining in the pan should be used acknowledges that the good
nutrients, especially the minerals, have been leached out into the water—leaving the cooked
vegetables without nutrients! This explains why steamed vegetables have very little taste. Another reason for cooking food slowly at the lowest possible heat is to provide the patient’s
intestinal tract with ‘soft bulk,’ i.e., well done fiber, to cushion all the raw foods and juices the
patient has to consume. Q: What about using a B-complex supplement to keep the B-vitamins in balance, since we
use fairly large amounts of B3 and B12? A:  Dr. Gerson states in his book ( A Cancer Therapy—Results of 50 Cases, Appendix II, P.
418), that patients were damaged when he administered Vitamins B1 and B6 to them. The
Gerson protocol with its huge number of juices and fresh foods is very well balanced and has no
need for supplements. 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 154Healing the Gerson Way—Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases
www.thegersonway.comQ: When can organic soy products be introduced into the diet? A: The short answer is never. Soy products of all kinds (tofu, flour, sauce, etc.) contain a
substance that blocks absorption of nutrients, besides having a high fat content. A great deal
of research material has proven the toxicity of soy, even when grown organically. The hype
claiming soy’s usefulness in preventing breast cancer has turned out to be unsubstantiated and
the opposite of truth: soy is likely to stimulate malignancy. Q: Proper food combining, not mixing starch and fruit, is supposed to be healthy. Why isn’t it
used on the Therapy? A: Food combining is probably useful if applied to the average American diet, which is high
in animal proteins and sodium (salt). Since all Gerson foods are vegetarian and all vegetables
contain a certain amount of starch, it is neither necessary nor possible to separate those two
substances. Q: Why not supplement Vitamins C and E, which help to boost the immune system? Surely
one glass of orange juice a day isn’t enough? A: It is a general misconception that only orange juice contains Vitamin C. Not so. The juices
used in the Gerson program are richer in Vitamin C than orange juice, and patients consume
them in huge quantities every day. Raw salads and fruit increase the intake even further. Dr.
Gerson himself insisted that no additional vitamins should be given to patients. Besides, we
have found that pharmaceutically produced synthetic vitamins and minerals are poorly absorbed
and can even be harmful. Q: Potatoes and tomatoes both belong to the deadly nightshade family and are banned from
many dietary regimes. Why are they the most used foods on the Therapy? A: They are not! The most used items are carrots, apples and greens for juicing. Potatoes are
extremely nutritious, high in potassium as well as in protein, and easily digestible (much more
so than rice). Tomatoes are also valuable, as they contain vitamins and minerals, including
lycopene, a powerful anti-oxidant that has been extensively researched in recent years and is
reputed to boost immune competence. Other vegetables belonging to the nightshade family,
such as green peppers and eggplants, are also used in the diet and have never shown any toxic
effects. Q: How many flare-ups or healing reactions can a patient normally expect? A:  There is no ‘normal’ number for these. The body produces them as long as it needs to heal!

www.thegersonway.comAs a rule, the first healing reaction sets in some 6-8 days after starting the intensive treatment. The second one comes usually after about 6 weeks, and the third, which is often the most
severe one, is generally observed after three to three-and-a-half months. In patients pre-treated
with chemotherapy we further expect a so-called chemo reaction after some six months on the
therapy. But these timings are not fixed and only suggest that the patient can expect healing
reactions at certain intervals, which can vary widely in individual cases. Q: Are headaches a good sign? A: Certainly not. They may be a symptom of flare-ups, when the body is releasing its overload
of toxins. In that case an additional coffee enema should be taken, to speed up the process of
detoxification. In some rare cases the toxicity is so high that an enema does not relieve the
headache. If so, one or more additional enemas are needed. In almost all patients, as healing
progresses, headaches disappear forever, even if they had been a problem for many years. If headaches recur after the therapy has ended, the chances are that exposure to toxins or
unsuitable foods has occurred and must be avoided in future. Q: When do patients begin to feel better and have more energy? A: Almost all patients, including extremely ill ones, feel better after the fi rst week on the
therapy. Pain diminishes, appetite returns, sleep improves; in some cases even tumors recede
or become softer. All this adds up to a great psychological boost; it also signals the moment
when the patient has to be warned about an impending healing reaction, bringing with it days
of feeling not well. A true rise in energy may occur in three to six months, depending on the
age and condition of the patient. At that point it is most important that the patient continues to
rest and doesn’t launch into multiple activities! The new energy must be used for healing and
nothing else. There will be plenty of time later to build muscles and make up for lost exercise
time. Trying to do so too soon can result in a serious setback.. Q:  How much of their increasing energy can Gerson patients use for exercise? Surely they
needn’t save it all up for healing? A: It all depends on the patient’s condition, but it’s wise to use great caution in all cases. To
start with the worst scenario, for the terminally ill patient total complete rest, i.e., no exercise,
is essential in the first few months. Such patients frequently experience a decline in energy after
arriving at the Gerson hospital and assume that this is due to the lack of (animal) protein. Of
course this is not correct—Gerson food is high in easily assimilated plant-based proteins, which
amply cover the patients’ nutritional needs. The initial weakness is caused by the various healing processes: the release of toxins from
the body tissues, and the destruction of tumor tissue that circulates through the blood stream
before being excreted. Clearly, the body is working flat out to start healing itself and needs every

www.thegersonway.comounce of energy it can muster. In such patients with advanced disease exercise should be entirely
banned for at least three to five months. After the sixth month the patients normally experience a
surge of energy. But at that point it is more important than ever to limit exercise, for misusing the
newfound energy would seriously curtail the continuing healing process. We suggest no more than five-minute walks to start with, and only in mild weather, i.e., not

the Divi ne ener gy that shows us we are all here to serve each other and be
in harmony. In as little as 15 minutes a day, you too can get to the place where you’re
only lett ing harm ony into your life. Y ou won’ t even let anybody into your
consciousness unless they co me there with harmony. That’ s like a
commitment you can make to yourself and others: If y ou come with
disharmony, dis cor dance, anger, str ess, or tension, you’ll onl y get to my
form. Un less you  come with love, harmony, ser enity, or peace, y ou won’ t get
to who I r eally am. Y ou won’ t ge t ther e because I’m beyond the need to have
conflict and confr ontation occupying my soul. I don’ t need that any longer;I’m past that. I no longer need t o pr ove that I can deal with it or handle it. That’ s gone. This rem inds me of an experience I had once while flying from Miami to
San Fran cisco. The plane had just taxied out to the runway wh en the pilot
announced that we wouldn’ t be able to take of f. W e’d have to go back to the
gate bec ause the  stabilizer that takes care of the wing flaps o r something
wasn’ t registering as working properly. W e were going to be delayed for a
few hours while they fixed it. My immediate attitude when s omething like that happens is, I guess
you’r e n ot supposed to get to San Francisco in five hours. Aft er a ll, when
my ance stors wanted to get to San Francisco from Miami, if they left in
September and got there in Ma rch, they considered that on time. It was a
good trip if half the people were still alive. So if it’ s going to take me three
more ho urs or whatever, that’ s okay. Plus, if the stabilizer isn’ t working on
my aircr aft—or in anything that stabilizes anything—I want to go back to
the gate. I’m not interested in being angry about that. It’ s a part of
surrendering and being at peace. The flight attendant and I had been talking when the pilot made his
announcement. She told me, “Oh, this is what I dread. ”
“What’ s the matter. ”
“Look a t all these people. Ever y one of them is going to say something
nasty to me whe n they get of f the plane. They’re going to blame  the airline,
and they’re going to blame me. ”
I said, “But you don’ t have to let that in. ”
“What are you talking about. ”
“W ell, you’ve got two package s that are protecting you from  anybody
coming to you with that disharmony,” I told her. “Y ou’ve got your uniform,
which is one package. That’ s over the other package, which is your body. Both of those are covering, or protecting, who you really are, w hich is how
you choose to think and process all of this. “Every t ime som eone says something negative to you, you can let that be
a message only to your uniform, to your package. That’ s not me, you can
remind yourself. They’r e not talking to me. They can’ t get to me with that
stuff. They can’ t have that. I don ’ t let anybody r each who I r eally am unless
they com e with love or harmon y. As you’re telling the person you’re very
sorry, you can tell yourself, They didn’ t get to me. They’r e not r eaching me
with that. ”Sure enough, she stood there and watched as scores of people got of f, and
many of them did say something nasty to her on the way out. Each time, she
sort of smiled and gave them instructions on where to get help from the
airline. I stayed  behin d to see how it went for her. As the last person
disembarked, sh e told me, “Th at was fantastic. This is the first time that
we’ve ever had a circumstance like this where I didn’ t let it bother me. ”
I sai d, “Y ou don’ t ever have to let stuf f like that into your life. The more
you keep it awa y from you, the  more you allow yourself the right to have
only wh at you want to enter yo ur consciousness. I make this choice all the
time. W hen I’m  driving, for ins tance, and somebody gives me the finger, I
don’ t take any o f that inside. Instead, I think, Oh, that’ s them, and that’ s
how the y’r e r eacting to my for m. If som ebody comes to me with love,
serenity, peace, joy, ease, or the like, then they can have all of me. I will
respond back with that. Y ou let in whatever you want. ”
That’ s w hat a quiet mind does for you. Meditation allows you to select
what you allow into who you r eally are without having to be beholden to
every sin gle person and action o ut there that doesn’ t fit in with t he way you
want it to be. Having a quiet mind, in a practical sens e, is truly
understanding th at what I’m tal king about here is not just for discussion—
it’ s for application. EVER YDAY BENEFITS OF MEDIT ATION
Please know that meditation doesn’ t require somebody teaching you
exactly how to do it; in fact, that would defeat the purpose. I have meditated
for a long time, but no one ever taught me how. I learned how to train my
mind on  my own, yet I’ve created miracles in that space for my self, as well
as in the world that I came back to when I left the meditation. I fin d it interesting that we crea te a light with our eyes closed in a dark
room. W e don’ t really need our  eyes to create light, but we definitely need
our minds. If you doubt that your mind is capable of creating illumination—
or colors, smells, and sounds—remember that we do this all the time in our
dreams, which is a state of pure  thought. When you meditate, you want to
get your mind to a similar place. A self-h ypnotic state is the first  thing that you want to train yo urself to
get to. Here, yo u go into what is called an “alpha state. ” Like  I said, you
don’ t need to be taught exac tly how to get here, but you may find
inspiration in what I do: I use a  24-second shot clock, which i s what they
use at NBA gam es. It’ s got thes e little lights, starting at 24, then it counts
down to 23, 22, and so on, to 1. If a thought of any kind enters my mind
anytime between 24 and 1 (other than the picture of the number), I need to
start over at 24. If I get to 16 and think, Oh, I can’ t for g et my dentist
appointment tomorr ow morning, that’ s followed by the thought, Back to 24
I go. Be p atient with yourself as you practice meditating this way. Y ou can use
any sort of cloc k or timer that  counts down, but you don’ t want to give
yourself too much or too little time, so consider beginning with the number
24, like I do. It w ill take you a few days to get to 1 but keep at it. When you
go from  24 to 1  without having an intervening thought, you will be in an
alpha state. Y ou’ll know that you’ve reach ed an alpha state when you raise your
hands an d your arms feel very light. Or your head will suddenly  feel almost
weightless, like you’re starting to leave your form. Then after a few days or
weeks, y ou’ll be  able to go into alpha without the 24-second clock. Y ou’ll
be able to do it just through your breathing. Once yo u feel comfortable getti ng into this alpha state, you can bring up
topics to your higher self. Y ou might ask questions that you have about your
life, abo ut strugg les that you ma y be having with your children, about your
relationships, about where you ought to be going, what kinds of decisions
you’re not sure about making, anything like that. As you go into a meditative st ate, what happens is that you leave this
world of  form and enter into the formless, dimensionless world  of thought. Y ou then  realize that you’re the w itness, watching yourself t hink and then
react to the thought. Y ou can ask yourself, What’ s t he solution to this. Wha t
can I do. Why is this a pr oblem  for me. Why am I cr eating this in my life. Why am I having such a difficult time with my partner. Why am I

Itchecks up, slows down, and tapers off gradually,and that is where the canny intelligence of afaithful Fletcherizer stands him in goodusefulness. When Appetite gently says: " Now,really, you are still rather good to my assistant

" In plain words: " I have enough for thepresent; switch off on to ——. " The difference between putting on fat in the
case of the person who is disposed or permittedto put on more fat than is comfortable, andlosing some of the surplus carried on theabdomen or elsewhere, is the discriminationexercised in regard to the final satisfaction ofappetite. Those last two, three, or a few mouth-fuls after Appetite has said gently " Enough,"and before the same Appetite says, loudly, "Stop. " are the difference between obesity; anddecency of form. I really believe, from the results of my
experiences for the past fifteen years in gettingtips from Mother Nature, and trying to inducemankind in general and my friends inparticular to accept them as " straight " fromMother Nature, that persons who have enoughrespect for themselves to be interested inphysical culture must come to the rescue of the
pseudo-scientists who are dulled by their owndope, and who are suffering from the malariawhich collects in the dark ruts they arefollowing in the tortuous complications of thealimentary canal. The physical culturists mustbuild models of normality for the scientists tostudy. When giving information as to what happens
in the mouth, and as to what happens as aresult of proper head digestion, I feel as if I amsitting on the upper lip of Mother Natureherself, and entrusting her messages to thecurrent of her own sweet breath for distributionamong her human children. CHAPTER VI
WHAT IS HEAD DIGESTION. My Study of the Subject—The Mouth as a Digestive Organ—Dr. Cannon's Researches—Pawlow's Proofs
IN the latest comprehensive treatise on
human nutrition, under the title of " Food andthe Principles of Dietetics," by Dr. RobertHutchinson, of London, more than six hundredpages are devoted to the subject. Of these, justfifty lines are given to " Mouth Digestion. " In afootnote of sixty-four words Dr. Hutchinson hasstated the case of the importance of carefuleating, with admission of a fact that wouldmean emancipation from most of the humandisabilities if it were repeated in nurseries andprimary schools as religiously as are theordinary rules of " polite conduct," and held bySociety to be the basis of respectability, which itreally is. When I first took up the study of dietetics in
academic circles, nearly fifteen years ago,physiologists did not concede that there was anymouth digestion at all. Putting food in themouth was for the purpose of mixing it with
saliva so that it could be formed into a " bolus "for convenient swallowing. Now it is recognisedthat there is some mouth digestion. In themeantime Pawlow * has demonstrated that thepsychic influence has much to do with digestion. Cannon, also, has shown by the evidence of theRöntgen rays that mental states retard andeven stop entirely the digestive processes thatare going on in the stomach, and has asserted,as has also Pawlow, that the stomach digestivejuices flow in response to the reports andstimulation of taste, pouring out into the cavityof the stomach juices appropriate for thedigestion of the particular food being tasted, inadvance of its arrival in the stomach. This evidence, confirming my own secured by
concentrated and unremitting study of the effectof head digestion on health and recuperativereconstruction, is proof enough that there is animportant department of nutrition that can beproperly called head digestion. * Dr. Prof. J. P. Pawlow, Director of the Department of
Experimental Physiology in the Russian Imperial Military
School of Medicine, &c. MY STUDY  OF THE SUBJECT
began with the tip from Mother Logic—that
the full extent of the personal responsibility innutrition is located in the head before the foodis swallowed. That is what led me toconcentrate on the mouth as the field of ourresponsibility which had been neglected byScience. Even the Dental Profession as a wholehad not at that time " tumbled " to the fact thatthey were occupied professionally andconstantly in a field of " Preventive Medicine "as important as now they find it. Everybody had supposed that the digestion of
food was effected only in the stomach and smallintestines. This may be true, in a narrow sense,but it can be arrested and completely stopped,by the head. Furthermore, digestion can be asmuch assisted by favourable head influence asit can be obstructed by unfavourable headtreatment. This being so, as everybody knows, or can
easily learn, what follows as a logical sequence. Here is a physiological eye-opener, as it
dawns upon the business physiologist. Theobvious inference is that if the head can makedigestion easy or stop it altogether, the stomach
being a subservient, mechanical, and chemicalservant of the head in the matter, we mayproperly declare that the master-key ofdigestion is held by the head, and we may safelysay that there is Head Digestion. THE MOUTH  AS A DIGESTIVE  ORGAN. The logical continuation of the search for the
location of responsibility for good or poordigestion leads us to consider the question of" Division of Labour " as apportioned by theLaws of Normality. All the laboratory evidence Ihave seen confirms my own observations of thepast fifteen years that Nature assures goodresults if we are thoroughly faithful to our headresponsibility during the treatment of food up tothe point of swallowing. From that timedigestion has been rendered so easy bythorough mouth preparation that it mayproceed smoothly even if the mental states arenot pleasant. Here, too, we discover that easydigestion reacts favourably on the mentalityand exerts a calming influence. Some observers declare that idiots digesttheir food quite easily. The less mental clarity
they possess the better for their metabolism. This does not argue in favour of the absence ofmental influence, for the idiot is a sensualist,and in the relief from mental excitement findsenjoyment of taste and the satisfaction ofappetite as agreeable as do the animals undersimilar favourable conditions. Quite recently, when I was personally under
observation by Dr. Professor Zuntz in Berlin, totest the ease of my digestion of food ascompared with others who paid less attention tomouth treatment of it, the good professorinstructed me to " be as nearly like a littleanimal as possible, thinking nothing ofanything. " This isn't as easy for a "live-wirethinking outfit " as for an idiot, or as for aningenuous little animal having no thought forthe morrow, but the business physiologist doesnot scorn to go anywhere for light on Nature'srequirements. One thing is sure, the personwho has been faithful to his personalresponsibility by starting the process ofdigestion as Nature demands can relax andenjoy metabolic and mental calm in delightfulharmony more easily than one who has gluttonyon his conscience and the wages of sinning on
his stomach. These wages look big to theswollen greed of cultivated gluttony, but theyare as bad as they are big, and the best way tobe convinced of this fundamentally importantfact is to realize the potency of head digestionfor well or ill, and give it a practical trial. The key to good digestion is in the head, and
the sooner mankind comes to realize thisimportant truth the quicker will come themillennium of nutrition normality. DR. CANNON 'S RESEARCHES. I have just been reading Professor Walter B. Cannon's book in the Arnold MedicalMonograph Series, entitled " The MechanicalFactors of Digestion. " I have learned manyvaluable lessons from the intestinalobservations of Dr. Cannon, and have seen theshadows he describes on his fluorescent screenunder his practised guidance, and, with hisgenerous permission, quoted him extensively inmy book, The A. B. —Z. of Our Own Nutrition. It seems that we began our quest for light on
the mechanics and mentality of digestion byobjective observation about the same year, 1898. He took a hop, skip and jump over the three
inches of the alimentary canal that is ourpersonal responsibility and, with the aid ofbismuth blackened food and a Röntgen-rayapparatus, began to study the movementsincident to digestion by the shadows cast on thescreen. For this purpose he principally usedfemale cats, because they were more amenablethan male cats to the torture of being tied flat toa cloth with the possible fear that they werecondemned to death as well as to inactivity. Even the use of pink or blue ribbons as bands ofbondage under the circumstances does not luretheir cat-ladyships into the quietude demandedfor normal movements of digestion, and malecats will not " stand for it " at all. For ten years or more Professor Cannon and

and
then
continue
the

the
same
time
as
this
type
of
cleansing
of
the
body
from
waste
substances,
use
other
procedures
that
will
facilitate
and
speed
up
the
cleansing
process. However,
if
the
organism
is
heavily
clogged,
it
is
necessary
to
first
cleanse
the
large
intestine
with
an
enema
and
the
kidneys
and
liver
with
cleansing
peels,
as
I
described
them
to
you
in

To
strengthen
energy
stimulation
and
supplement
the
organism
with
minerals
and
trace
elements. Massage,
painting
and
also
baths
with
the
addition
of
urine
are
best
suited
here. Duration
of
one
procedure
from
5
minutes
to
2
hours. Foot

also
stimulate
and

the
body's
overall
energy. For
therapeutic
purposes,
cold-activated
urine
of
a
child
or
an
adult,
but
not
older
than
two
or
three
days,
is
better
suited. Very
old
urine
evaporated
to
1/4
of
the
original
volume
is
suitable
for
dissolving
salts. Her
the

expands
the

and
the
increased
amount
of
salts
increases
the
osmosis
of
the
urine
and
literally
pulls
it
out
deposits
from
the
body. If
the
situation
worsens
after
taking
such
urine,
try
fresh
urine
evaporated
to
a
quarter. If
even
this
causes
deterioration
of
health
and
reactions
that
do
not
correspond
to
the
cleansing
process,
you
must
stop
these
procedures. According
to
the
same
law
of
osmosis,
salts
are
drawn
from
the
urine
to
the
diseased
area. If
applicable,
use
other
cleansing
steps
such
as
drinking
fruit
juices,
cleansing
peels
using
enemas,
or
healing
fasting. Urine
activated
by
a
magnetic
field
and
at
the
same
time
evaporated
to
one
quarter
is
also
suitable
for
energetic
stimulation
of
the
organism. 3)
For
purposeful
treatment
of
affected
organs. For
this,
use
massage
of
individual
parts
of
the
body,
as
well
as
compresses
made
of
urine
on
the
affected
organs. Try
different
types
of
urine
to
see
which
ones
work
best
for
you. For
purposeful
stimulation
of
weakened
organs,
massage
of
the
relevant
parts
during
the
activity
of
these
organs
in
accordance
with
biorhythms
is
suitable. 4)
Use
of
biologically
active
points. As
we
have
already
said,
through
these
body
gates,
which
are
particularly
numerous
on
the
hands
and
feet,
on
the
head,
face
and
neck,
one
can
quite
successfully,
and
using
the
superconductivity
effect,
introduce
urine
into
the
body. When
short
of
time,
it's
the
one
the
fastest
way
to
stimulate
the
whole
organism
with
the
help
of
urine. 5)
For
cosmetic
purposes. Fresh
evaporated
urine,
possibly
activated
by
cold
or
a
magnetic
field,
is
best
for
this. Rub
her
face,
hands
and
neck. After
drying,
repeat
the
procedure
several
times. Always
wash
your
face
with
warm
water
and
only
finally
with
cold
water
without
soap. You
can
also
massage
individual
parts
of
the
body
and
wash
off
the
urine
after
it
dries. It
will
be
interesting
to
see
how
much
urine
your
skin
absorbs,
20
to
30
grams
should
be
enough. The
result
will
be
beautifully
soft
skin
on
the
face
and
hands. To
encourage
hair
growth,
standing
or
activated
urine
is
better
suited,
which
is
rubbed
into
the
roots
of
the
hair
or
used
as
compresses. 6)
To
rejuvenate
the
body. For
this
purpose,
baby
urine
is
suitable
for
massages,
body
painting
and
baths,
where
we
add
500
or
more
grams
of
baby
urine. How
to
lubricate
the
body
with
urine. At
first,
we
rub
lightly,
gradually
increasing
the
pressure
to
the
point
of
mild
pain
and
back
to
gentle
massaging
again. If
urine
massage
is
not
used
during
water
and
urine
fasting,
then
the
positive
effects
of
fasting
are
not
always
fully
utilized
due
to
the
heavy
load
on
the
heart. When
the
body
is
lubricated
with
urine,
this
load
is
reduced
to
a
great
extent
and
starvation
is
much
easier. That

the

for
the

through
the

the
first
and

of
the

it
is
better
to

in
the

when
the
body
works
to
excrete

and

it
is
better
to
use
urine
to
clean
the
skin. After

and
other
skin
procedures,
we
wash
off
the
urine
as
soon
as
the
skin
dries
with
warm
water
and
then
with
cold
