 are not the perpetrator. Y ou  are not the
victim. Y ou drop all the concepts. Y ou are not any of those things. It’ s easy
to becom e conscious that you a re the witness of phenomena, the witness.
From th at state, it is easy to mo ve into the realms of Light, Love, and the
Radiance of the Self, in which everything is happening spo ntaneously.
These are the s tates of illumination. All that exists shines forth as the
Radiance of Divinity. At that point, the mind falls silent in awe.Q: Y ou say that few people ever transcend the level of Reason, and that
the mind is the gr eatest block to Enlightenment. What do you
r ecommend as a way to get beyond it?
A:  T he good new s is that the mind is already 99 percent silent. If 99
percent of the m ind weren’ t silent, you wouldn’ t even know what you are
thinking. It’ s because of the si lence of the forest that you can hear the
birdsong. The forest is 99 percent silent and 1 percent birdie! It’ s only
because you listen to the 1 percent that the forest seems noisy. Y ou’re
hypnotized by the 1 percent. It’ s a hypnotic trance with the content  of mind,
so what you do is shift to the context  o f silence out of which the co ntent
emer ges. Ego identifies with content. Spirit is context, which is silence.
The min d is like a giant football  stadium where everyone has go ne home
and you ’re the only one in the e ntire stadium. Over in the corn er, there’ s a
small ra dio play ing, and you get focused on that radio, and you say, “This is
a no isy stadium.” Y ou think your mind is noisy, because you’re focused on
the 1 percent, w hich you think of as “me.” It isn’ t the mind that’ s an
obstruction to Enlightenment; i t’ s your identification  with the working of
the m ind as “me.” Y ou think, That’ s w ho I am. Th at 1 percent  has various
devices to keep you hypnotized. It likes to politicize, moralize, analyze,
romanticize, cr iticize, idealize, emotionalize, dramatize, h ypothesize,
theologize, fant asize, catastrophize, and so on. That’ s all the content of
mind. The silence is the conte xt. The relationship between content and
context is what spiritual work i s all about. In meditative or contemplative
style, you constantly surrender all content, as it arises. W e surrender to God;
we do so in the interest of context.
Q: Beyond the states of Enlightenment and Self-r ealization, you have
described the state of “Nothingness,” classically called the “V oid.” Is
ther e any pr eparation?
A:  Mi sinterpretati ons of the teac hings of the Buddha misidentify the
meaning of “V oid” and identify the Nothingness/V oid as the ultimate state,
which it decidedly is not, as de termined by both consciousness-calibration
research and subjective experience.
In t raditional spiritual languaging, each of these advanced levels is
“guarded” by the “dragons” of a  duality. This is especially true at level 850,where th e presenting limitation to be transcended is the conun drum of the
seeming opposites/alternatives of whether the ultimate Reality is Allness
versus Nothingness, or is Existence versus Nonexistence.
The V oid of No thingness calibrates at 850 and is the end point of the
pathway of negation that denies the reality of every thing  or any thing  (that
is, the linear form or “thingness” as attachment). The error that follows is
the p resumption  that the transce ndence of all form is the sole c ondition of
Buddhahood. This is an easy m istake to make, because experientially, the
condition of the V oid is eno rmously impressive. As it unfolds, it is
inef fable, infinit e, timeless, One, all-encompassing, still, silent, unmoving,
and strangely inclusive of the “ awareness of nonawareness” that precludes
even beingness or existence. T his state is definitely and ex perientially,
without question, beyond dualit y. There is neither subject n or obje ct; there
is nothin g left to surrender and  no one left to surrender; thus, it indeed
seems to be the  ultimate state itself. Another dif ficulty at that level is that
there are  no teachers with whom to consult, share, or reflect confirmation,
much less instruction, for the state is indeed wondrous, and the need for
such a direction would not seem to be necessary or present itself for
confirmation.
If the state of V oid (Nothingness) were the ultimate reality, it would be a
permanent cond ition, and there would be no entity to report it. However, it
is no t, and ther efore, sooner or later, one leaves the V oid and returns to
conscious existence. Next occurs the subjective experiential phenomenon of
suddenly emer ging into Existence from the oblivion of the V oid. (In this
lifetime, the occurrence for me was at age three, as described in  the “About
the A uthor” section. Suddenly, o ut of Nothingness and nonawareness, there
was the shock of not only Exis tence but also the discovery of  physicality
and that  a body accompanied t he return from Nothingness to Beingness.
Thus, in this lif etime, the dilemma at calibration level 850 w as initially
presented strong ly in early life, and it recurred later, at which time it was
rejected and transcended. It took 38 years to resolve.)
The Kno wingness needed to transcend this level is that Divine Love is
also nonlinear and without subje ct, object, form, conditionality, or location.
The limitation (incompleteness) of the V oid is reached as a consequence of
intense dedication to the pathway of negation; however, missing is the
realization that Love is a primary quality of Divinity and is als o nonlinear,
and that  spiritual love is not an attachment. The error of the pathway ofnegation is to misidentify and refuse Love because, in it s ge neral, or dinary
human e xperience, it is a limitat ion and an attachment (between a “me” and
a “you” or an “it”).
In contrast, Divine Love is predominant, powerful, and overwhelming,
and is the prima ry quality or essence of the Presence. It is pr ofound and
unconditional, w ith no subject or object. It is not an emotio nality but a
condition or a s tate that is libe rating rather than limiting. The V oid (cal.
850) is compar able to infinite, empty, conscious space. In contrast, the
Presence of Divinity is like the heart of the sun. There is no mistaking it, for
the Love is realized as the very core and Source of one’ s primary Self.
Q: What is the final step?
A:  E ventu ally, by surrendering every state to God, you enter a space
beyond all previous spaces. As each state comes on, be willing to
experience an even greater dimension. There is a state beyond all the prior
states. A state of pure austerity.  I have spoken of it as the High Pass, and
detail it here because readers of this book will confront these s tates. When
you have surrendered everything to God through meditation and
contemplation, and let go of all attachments and aversions, you reach a very
High Pass where there is no one. In the High Pass, you’ve let go of the
attachment to the details of life, money and power, prestige, and  excitement
and thrills. There is nothing left except your own life. Y ou’ve let go of
everything this world cherishes, surrendered it all to God. Now, what do
you have left to surrender to God? Y our very life. In that moment, you
realize, I have nothing left. I surr ender my life to Thee, O Lor d.
W ith that, there is a terrible fe ar of dying. When you exper ience the
agony of dying, you know you’ re in the right place. This is the  agony that
you agreed to go through. That which you have believed you were,
throughout all these lifetimes, al l the way back to eternity, practically down
to th e level of  the bacteria, n eeds to be surrendered. All through the
evolution of consciousness, that which you believed to be the very core of
your existence, you are now asked to surrender.
The fea r of nonexistence comes up again. And then comes the
Knowingness th at it’ s safe to lay down your life to God, because you will
have the inner k nowingness, “A ll fear is illusion. W alk straig ht ahead nomatter what.” That was the Knowingness that came from many lifetimes
ago. Th at Knowingness has to come through with an absolute certainty
from


edy, even after the paroxysms have set in. Pilocarpine, a drug whichinduces profuse sweating, has been known to cure cases; while, on a
similar principle, Dr. Buisson of Paris, author of a treatise entitled
Hydrophobia, Preventive and Curative Measures, cured himself of an
attack by the use of a vapour bath and inaugurated a remedial system,
named after himself, which has been most successful.

hours, is usually sufficient to obliterate spasm.” Kasauli 16th Annual Report, p.36.
3. For cases of cures, see On Rabies and Hydrophobia, Surgeon-General Thornton.It is, to say the least of it, remarkable that definite curative measures
should be overlooked and set aside for a mere preventive which cannot
set forward a single tangible proof of ever having saved anyone, while,on the other hand, as we have seen, there is undeniable evidence that
it has created a new complaint, i.e. paralytic hydrophobia.
For such a situation there must be some explanation, and perhaps
the Indian paper The Pioneer, on the 12th March, 1919, unconsciously
provided it:
“The Central Research Institute2 at Kasauli has developed its
vaccine production to an almost incredible extent. The yearlyaverage before the war was 18,500 cubic centimetres; duringthe war it rose to over 2.5 million cubic centimetres, andincluded anti-typhoid, cholera, pneumonia and influenzavaccines. From a monetary point of view alone, the value ofthe Kasauli vaccines for the period of the war was about halfa million sterling.”
Pasteur’s inoculations for hydrophobia form part of a vast money-
making system, in which the beneficiaries have no wish that any item
should be discredited. The Kasauli returns are only a fraction of themonetary gains accruing in Europe, Asia and America.
A few years back we were told by Professor Ray Lankester that the
Lister Institute in London made £15,800 a year from the sale of vaccinesand sera – a sum that seems likely to have increased largely.
Thus we find science dominated by commercialism. Were it not for
pecuniary advantages, there seems little doubt that the broth emulsionsof spinal cords would have gone the same way as an older less nauseous
panacea – ‘the hair of the dog that bit you’!
From the earliest records of history, the prevalent mania seems to
have been for ‘frightfulness’ in medicinal remedies; but the witches’
cauldron itself never surpassed the toxic concoctions inaugurated by
Pasteur in what has truly proved to be – sadly – ‘a new era in medicine’.
It is the era of the injection into the blood of matter of varying
degrees of offensiveness, the era in which animal experimentation,
vastly increased, has led to experiments on human beings, and thecredulous and uninformed are everywhere at the mercy of the syringe
– all because of the insatiable hunger of the pharmaceutical corporations
for profit and domination of the health ‘industry’!
1. A separate institution from the Pasteur Institute.
Hydrophobia   303304   Béchamp or Pasteur?18.
A Few Examples of the Cultin Theory and in Practice
What a striking contrast there was between Louis Pasteur, the worn,
paralysed man, aged before his time, and the magnificence of the
Institute founded in his honour and named after him, which was opened
on the 14th November, 1888, at Paris!
The ambitious chemist had achieved his goal – fame and fortune.
He was now installed as the idol of medical orthodoxy.
The reason for the general public’s acclamation of his views has
been succinctly explained by Béchamp in the preface to La Théorie du
Microzyma. Here he writes:
“The general public, however intelligent, are struck only by
that which it takes little trouble to understand. They havebeen told that the interior of the body is something more orless like the contents of a vessel filled with wine, and thatthis interior is not injured – that we do not become ill, exceptwhen germs, originally created morbid, penetrate into it fromwithout, and then become microbes.
The public do not know whether this is true; they do not
even know what a microbe is, but they take it on the word ofthe master; they believe it because it is simple and easy tounderstand; they believe and they repeat that the microbemakes us ill without inquiring further, because they have notthe leisure – nor, perhaps, the capacity – to probe to the depthsthat which they are asked to believe.”
On the other hand, experts have been educated from the start to
consider micro-organic life from the Pasteurian standpoint, and to
accept these theories as though they were axioms. Thus it is perhapsunderstandable that it is only from an unbiased vantage ground that
the contradictions of the germ theory of disease can be correctly
understood to be ridiculous. Its rules – the postulates of Dr. RobertKoch – state, inter alia, that a causative disease germ should be present
in every case of a disease, and never found apart from it.
What are the facts?One of the original props of Pasteurian orthodoxy, the Klebs Loeffler
bacillus, arraigned as the culprit behind diphtheria, was, by Loeffler
himself, found to be absent in 25% of the cases; while, on the otherhand, it is constantly revealed in the throats of healthy subjects – since,
as Béchamp explained long ago – a bacterial evolution of microzymas
is not necessarily noxious.
The followers of Pasteur, however, have their method of overcoming
the theoretic difficulty; namely, the carrier theory, by which healthy
people are accused of propagating certain ‘germs’ which they thensupposedly disseminate. This accusation has been brought against those
who have never in their entire lives suffered from the complaints that
they are accused of distributing; while, in one noted case, that of acertain cook, Mrs. Roberts of Wrexham, whose microscopic inhabitants
were said to have dealt out intestinal trouble, it was found that she
had never seen, much less even touched, the pork pies described asthe delivery medium of her murderous microbes.
1
In their Manual of Infectious Diseases, Goodall and Washbourn state:
“Enteric fever differs from other infectious diseases in not
spreading directly from individual to individual. There is thuslittle danger in visiting patients suffering from the disease.”
2
Yet while actual victims of the fever are pronounced innocuous, no
hesitation is shown in accusing healthy persons, some of whom have
never undergone the complaint, of being promoters and disseminatorsof it.
The carrier theory is also constantly invoked in connection with
diphtheria. Years ago, we read
3 of the throats of 700 schoolchildren
at Alperton in Middlesex being examined, with the result that 200
were accused of being diphtheria carriers and were accordingly placed
in isolation.
One telling weakness of the theory is that we never seem to hear of the
isolation of prominent bacteriologists, who obviously should set the
example in undergoing microscopic and chemical tests and the subsequentquarantine, which is, apparently, only advocated for other people!
But, as the editor of The Lancet
4 has confined, without the carrier
theory, Koch’s postulates could not even pretend to be fulfilled.
A Few Examples of the Cult in Theory and Practice   3051. Some 20 cases of an illness called para-enteritis, with four deaths, were ascribed to the
consumption of these pork pies, which Mrs. Roberts was accused of having infected.

3.The Evening News, 4th June, 1920.
4. March 20, 1909.306   Béchamp or Pasteur?Take, for instance, Koch’s fourth postulate, which defines the
causative germ as producing in an animal the same disease with which
it was originally associated. But we are told in the same article in The
Lancet1 how the pneumococcus of pneumonia introduced into the lung
of a rabbit brings about not pneumonia, but instead general
septicaemia. According to Béchamp’s theory of the differencesbetween the microzymas of varying species, this result is understandable
and presents no mystery; but it is the undoing of Koch’s fourth postulate.
In Sternberg’s Text Book of Bacteriology
2 we find:
“The demonstration made by Ogston, Rosenbach, Passet and
others, that micrococci are constantly present in the pus ofacute diseases, led to the inference that there can be no pusformation in the absence of microorganisms of this class. Butit is now well established by the experiments of Crawitz, deBary, Steinhaus, Scheurlen, Kaufmann and others that theinference was a mistaken one, and that certain chemicalsubstances introduced beneath the skin give rise to pusformation quite independently of bacteria.”
On the other hand, Dr. Robb3 has shown that under the most rigid
antiseptic treatment, micro-organisms are constantly found attachedto sutures when removed from wounds made by the surgeon, and that


 Began to try dry starvation.
The first day of the SG passed unnoticed, I was starving on a Sunday and we
My husband and I all day went to the cottage to his parents. We have a good
Nature. After cleansing the liver, I somehow lost my appetite, and
hunger it did not exist. The first sip of water was very tasty -
how can we, in our boring life not paying attention to simple
things! After the first week of fasting, the weekend did
two days of the LFG as the parents at the dacha. Hunger was relatively
easily, the only reason for the second day very much like to eat.
Next week going to the Altai. I certainly was not in the Altai,
but on television saw what beautiful scenery there. I am Sergey
Ivanovic said - if a dry hunger will take place normally,
arrive on the third day of LFG. Weeks go by unnoticed, no
fear of the passage of dry fasting, I was not, so
more in such a beautiful place like the Altai, and the mood I was
going to win. Late at night my husband at the airport,
hugged and said: - You're my fellow and you will succeed. Flight
I had a good, unique - irritated by the smell of food and chewing
neighbors. But then we landed in the city of Barnaul.
We met Sergei, with its on-Siberian Health
nephew, Andrew. When we boarded the minibus "UAZ", I
thought, but on such a machine are going to trudge a long time. But
only in the Altai Mountains, when we went to the most beautiful places
I realized the true value of this car. Drive us to our
wellness center 320 km, Andrew said that about
five hours. All the way asleep, woke up only in aggregates, the Motherland
Shukshin. Vavilov, Andrei and Valentin (wife SI)
went to drink tea. What a funky splices market - such
the number and types of honey, I have never seen
and how many there were any yummy. Even in the stomach, something
327
327Home rumble. After Srostki appeared small mountain
and beautiful river of Altai - Katun ride was much more interesting.
Here we are at last arrived. Of course, I knew that the beautiful Altai,
but this has surpassed my expectations. Cozy clearing in the woods, mountains,
wooden houses, near a small lake (a mountain creek
blocked by the dam) and, most importantly, close - five hundred meters
- Beauty Katun. And what is the divine air - immediately
dry mouth dropped. I settled on the second floor, I like this
room immediately liked, is the balcony, and most importantly fresh
and cool. The only drawback, a toilet on the street, but we all
still on hunger, so I is not much worried. When we
all were seated, I went to bed rest. In the evening we have with a neighbor Irina
she had the same problems as me (polycystic ovaries), and went
walk. What good has a place that is ideal for a walk. By
forest is a road, about five miles. It ends where it is still
Sema one river flows into the Katun. On the third day of dry starvation
we quietly went back and forth for three hours. Time has passed on
surprisingly fast, yet important during the passage of hunger -
it will switch and do something.
That's how flying is my third day of dry fasting, the only
that bothered me - it's a small nausea during the trip
and dry mouth. When we came to walk, our entire team
sitting by the fire and talked with Sergei Ivanovich. I sat
a little bit and went to bed - you should sleep until sleep. Sergei Ivanovich
said that tomorrow we go on an excursion to Chemalsky GES, on the island
Patmos, where the small female monastery. I woke up hours
at six, slept well, failed again. Friend did not sleep,
went with her for a walk. Still, as beautiful in the Altai, - white mist
over the mountains, the air just nadyshatsya can not, you feel like
charging your whole body and every cell. They walked slowly,
quietly, enjoying nature, about thirty minutes sat on the
Katun meditate. When they came to the base, they were all ready
on the tour. Sergei Ivanovich we measured the pressure and we went
weighed.
So, Day 4 SH. Pressure 110/70, pulse - 75 bpm. min., weight 80 kg.

Bad, especially a good idea at the HES, where the river Chemal noise

well thought out, sight-seeing time has flown by.

felt sick and was sick the waist. A massage to Andrew to go
scary - a machine of the weight of about 120, rising by 190, will break

strong, but at the same time soft and gentle hands. When he bent down
and went through my spine, I have it all began to crackle.
Really liked the massage mayonnaise jar banks, first
It was painful, but after that the full relaxation and a pleasant warmth
around the spine. Nausea and pain after a massage
passed immediately. In the evening, again walking with his girlfriend, were probably
Six kilometers, tried to keep quiet and breathe only through his nose, as
said Sergei Ivanovich, all the same it helps fight dryness
in the mouth. After a walk ill right side, pain tolerance, but
I remember the words of Sergei Ivanovich - anything that hurts the famine, the
treated, let him. In the evening, once again sitting near the fire, noticed how-
then I began to breathe better.
The fifth day of LFG. Pressure 100/70, pulse 72 beats. min., weight 78.8,
lost a kilo of two hundred, is very pleased with my feminine pride.
Sleep was no longer mattered, sleep well, probably two hours.
Dreamed a wonderful dream, as I have come to our clean mountain
rivulet, got his big mug, I want to get water, but
River recedes, then remembered after I did the famine. During
walk all of a sudden I went phlegm green-gray

 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 fresh or old urine help to combat infections and
often cause them to disappear. Although urine does not entirely prevent
37 the growth of bacteria in the urethra (infections often arise), it clearly has a
powerful antiseptic effect when externally applied.
Herz also successfully treated infections of the urinary passages with urine
therapy. The positive results can be traced back to the stimulating effect of
the re-ingested urine on the immune system.
As discussed above, in such a case, lgA is produced in greater quantities.
7. Salt therapy.
Drinking salt water serves as an important therapeutic remedy
during certain (fasting) cures.
Salt water is also frequently applied in yoga to clean the body thoroughly
from within and it relieves such illnesses as asthma,
stomach ulcer, indigestion and constipation.
Drinking urine, which is also a salt substance, has the same effect.
This could be an important reason for its success as a therapeutic remedy.
Salt solutions remove old mucous embedded in the mucous membranes.
If one drinks a salt liquid, part of the salt goes into the body, where it
dissolves the surplus of mucous in the lungs and in other organs.
According to this theory, drinking urine,
like drinking salt water,accelerates the metabolism.
It removes a surplus of sugar from the blood and draws out toxic
substancesfrom cells.
In this way, urine therapy is a good cleansing technique.
According to urine therapists, urine has an extra advantage above salt
water because urine contains a small amount of natural cortisone.
This brings us back to the possible hormonal effects of urine.
Using urine instead of salt is also more effective because urea and
ammonia are organic solvents: they dissolve fats and other natural bodily
secretions. These substances probably ensure that the mucous
membranes and body cells are powerfully affected.
Dabbing with salt water usually helps clean wounds;
urine has the same effect. Urine is more effective than salt water because it
contains healing substances such as allantoin.
8. Diuretic effect.
According to this theory, urine therapy ensures that the kidneys work more
quickly and that the body is stimulated to produce more urine.
Metabolic products composed of proteins such as urea, nitrogen and
ammonia are excreted out of the body via the urine as soon as there is a
surplus in the body. Drinking urine causes more of these substances to
enter the body than normal. The body reacts to this by washing them away
with water and other substances. By ingesting urine, one stimulates the
38 body not only to excrete part of these metabolic products at an accelerated
rate,but also to convert another part into useful substances.
A previously mentioned example of this is urea,
which is converted through ammonia into glutamine.
Another consequence might be that substances
which should normally leave the body with the urine,
but have got stuck somewhere, now do so due to the accelerated flow.
For example, in the case of gout, the body disposes of urinary acid
embedded in the joints. The effects of flowing and cleansing are
particularly noticeable while one is fasting.
The first time one urinates while fasting, the urine is often thick and tastes
strong, especially if one has a fever or is otherwise sick.
However, after drinking this initial amount, the second flow of urine is
thinner, even if one has not drunk extra water.
The re-use of urine, without ingesting extra liquid, yields a large amount of
clear and not unpleasant tasting urine in a short period of time.
According to this hypothesis, this ultimately results in stimulated
and cleansed kidneys, and a purified bloodstream.
At the same time, the intestines, skin and exhalation process probably
entirely take over the role of secreting the unusable metabolic products.
9. Transmutation theory.
Most of the former hypotheses will also be valid from a strictly mechanistic
point of view. The transmutation theory, though, needs a new,
wholistic paradigm which is based more on the dynamics of energies.
The medical doctor and urine therapist Abele cautiously discusses the
possible effect of urine as holographic feedback.
The theory of transmutation implies that the body is capable,
through energetic exchange within the body itself, to transmute certain
substances or molecules into other ones.
'Short-circuiting' the system by ingesting one's own secreted body fluids
might stimulate the transmutational forces within and challenge the body
to transform unusable substances into usable ones
without being constantly disturbed by new external input.
This would specifically apply to fasting on urine.
Another important aspect is the theory of structured water.
It is scientifically proven how water in biological systems becomes more
organized.
Water also becomes more organized through exposure to sunlight
and through close contact with crystals.
The body is both a receptor of sunlight and it contains a high amount of
solid and liquid cristallinelike substances.
Also body fluids themselves form fluid crystals.
Urine is thus a cristalline-like substance containing a high amount of
structured water. This structured water, when taken in again,
39 promotes better enzymatic functioning and it has a higher solubility for
minerals. The vibratory patterns of the body, both in the bones
(solid crystals) and in the tissues and fluids (liquid crystals),
play an important role in the process of transmutation
10. Psychological effect.
Scientists claim that the highest acceptable placebo effect is 30%.
However, a much higher percentage of people actually achieves positive
results with urine therapy, which is remarkable since many people are
often initially skeptical because of their aversion to urine,
and apply urine therapy as a last resort.
The shock initially brought on by drinking urine might fundamentally
challenge previously accepted ideas, as a result of which repressed energy
is released that can be applied to strengthen the body and fight an illness.
Confronting and conquering reluctance play an important role in this
theory. Applying your own bodily substances in an attempt to heal can lead
to a considerably broadened outlook on the intelligence and power of the
body, and can increase your appreciation and love for yourself as a
physical and spiritual being. Instead of regarding excretions (really just a
part of yourself) as enemies, you regard them as your helpers.
This healthier way of seeing yourself might well have a powerful healing
effect on your body. If the results are experienced as positive,
Applying your own urine as medication means that you have more physical
and mental freedom than previously believed,
which can also have a healing effect on a deep level.
Urine therapy confronts us with a very concrete 'healer within'
which works both on a


 total ruin. Fresh water,
soil, forests, and fuels must be spared, food produced more effi-
ciently, building and transportation accomplished with less waste.
We have already exhausted a major portion of the readily recover-
able riches of the planet. The cost of basic commodities skyrockets
because, with the few resources left, we continue to over produce
inefficient machines such as cars and unproductive military arma-
ments—tanks, missiles, etc.
Everyone is eager to conserve natural resources, but few even
dream of conserving the most critical resource of all: one's own
vital energies. The careful harboring of the energy stored within
man's seed is a truly rational energy program. Yet this aspect of
conservation is entirely overlooked by politicians and health
experts.6 Taoist Secrets Of Love
One reason for this neglect is simply general ignorance of the
ancient and highly secret methods used in the past. Taoist Masters
gained knowledge of these methods through unknown millenia of
relentless searching for the secret principles animating matter.
These methods are the fruit of many generations of inspired medi-
tation by sages coupled with my close observations on modern life.
This book fashions into a unified whole my personal experience of
the teachings.
The Taoist masters felt bound to reveal their potent secrets to
only the most select disciples, those who had proven their devotion
to the Master's ideals by years of arduous self-sacrifice and ser-
vice. Why did the Masters feel so strongly compelled to hide their
tremendous knowledge from the public?
The reason for this secrecy is not easily comprehended by the
western public today. The mass media have fostered a state of
mind in which anyone's life is everyone's business: the most inti-
mate details of private sex life are the most greedily lapped up.
Advertisers assure their clients today "Nothing sells unless it is
sexy." This mentality has made sex, in America, into a disposable
commodity, making it harder in our private lives to experience sex
as an intimate pleasure that can be cultivated over time to ever
deepening levels. Today sex is often consumed and thrown away
as soon as the lover becomes old or an inconvenience. Even the
women in the harem of Chinese Emperors and aristocrats fared
better, being assured of material comfort for life in exchange for
their sexual favors. The court society favored the position of men,
but at least the female sexual energy was respected for its healing
benefits and honored as being necessary for the spiritual develop-
ment of the male.
A classic Taoist story tells of a woman who learned the pro-
cess of sexual transformation and exchanged her yin energy with
her lover's yang energy and thereby achieved Immortality. She
thus became the guide to ancient emperors on the subject of love.
There is a recorded historical instance of a palace maid in 690 A.D.
becoming the Empress on the death of the Emperor. Empress Wu,
respected for her mastery of the art of love, ruled wisely for several
decades until her death.
The ancient Taoist masters were not superstitious. They were
natural scientists who laid the foundation for amazing technologi-
cal advances in medicine, chemistry, biology, navigation, andMale Sex Energy Is Stored In Its Seed 7
many other fields that would not be discovered by western scien-
tists until 2000 years later. Nor did they crave exclusive possession
of their potent knowledge. They had their reasons for secrecy, and
their reasons were well-founded at the time. They were custodians
of the doctrine taught to them by their masters, and feared the
misuse of the great force unlocked by the secret principles. Per-
haps, they felt an obligation to protect the public from its tendency
to distort the purest teaching to suit its own base instincts. In rural
China, which was much less populous then, someone with such
esoteric knowledge could easily become a chieftain or a king. A
warrior could use his power to defeat his opponents.
The Taoist Masters thus thought it dangerous to spread their
teachings too widely, and passed them on to only a few chosen
disciples before departing their earthly life. To guarantee that the
formulae not be used for selfish purposes, these Masters often
transmitted to each disciple only a part of the doctrine. Thus, only
if the disciples banded together and shared their learning could the
supreme potencies be unleashed. If anyone selfishly withheld his
learning, they would never receive the whole doctrine. In the
course of many generations, fragments of the innermost secrets
came to be regarded as the whole. My attempt is to reunite many
disparate parts into an organic whole which I believe similar to the
most ancient and complete teachings.
WHY REVEAL THE SECRET NOW?
Why violate the traditional Chinese teaching method and expose to
the general public these powerful principles? The simple reason is
that the historic moment is already late. The human condition is
too desperate to deprive our species of a potentially great infusion
of vital energy. If the human race is not quickly infused with a new
life energy to render it more harmonious than it has been for most
of the last 2,000 years, we are all, earthly Masters and mortals,
threatened with an untenably harsh existence, if not extinction.
There are so many wizards of the computer, stock market,
test tube, and spectator sport, but so few of the art of life. Our race
spends its brief span fiddling with statistics, black boxes, noxious
chemicals, and above all, with meaningless words. A majority of
Americans daily pass more than six hours in a mesmerized trance
induced by a colored shadow dancing in a box of glass. These8 Taoist Secrets Of Love
machines have inadvertently become instruments of our own de-
struction; a tv programmed mind is not a free mind. Too few de-
vote even one second to entering deeply the great current of life
hidden within ourselves. Yet all the technological energy is eagerly
sought is an apish imitation of the electrifying ecstasies found hid-
den within the body and mind.
There are positive signs; in Taoist thinking, any excess even-
tually leads to its opposite. Despite the current mediocrity of most
popular culture, there are tremendous forces driving the race into
expanded consciousness. It is clear that the reason for the chaotic
state of planetary affairs is the revolutionary advance in human
consciousness. In simplest terms, hydrogen bombs hover above us
only because we are clever enough to conjure them up. Hatred
contains the seeds of love. We have created a crisis in order to
force a solution demanding that we restore our balance with one
another and nature.
Among the most important implications of this soaring up of
consciousness is that the ordinary man will be admitted to secrets
of life and mind that were formerly reserved for the chosen few.
The French scientist Schwaller de Lubicz elucidated this idea: "It
is certain that such a revolution in thought... is not the result of
whim. It is in fact a question of cosmic influence to which the
earth, along with everything in it, is subjected. A phase in the
gestation of the planetary particle of our solar system is completed
... A new period must begin, and this is heralded by seismic
movement, climatic changes, and finally, above all, by the spirit
that animates man." Not only do troubles press consciousness to
evolve, but changing consciousness bursts the constraints of exist-
ing order.
I hope that the Taoist practices of cultivating male energy
presented here will attain higher perfection when subject to the
shock of opposing ideas, scientific study and personal experiment,
and the whole race's inventive genius. Today in China, it is for-
mally prohibited to keep secret beneficial practices: one must re-
veal all knowledge that may improve the general welfare. Hence-
forth, closely-guarded preparations of medicinal herbs, roots,
mineral waters, barks, muds, flowers, gems, venoms, as well as
yogic and meditation practices will reach perfection more quickly
by serving all.
So the revelation of the Taoist secrets of sex is a contributionMale Sex Energy Is Stored In Its Seed 9
to human culture that may take time to manifest its real influence.
Where a few great minds once acted, the full race of human genius
must now struggle to save our world from the dangers of its own
excess.CHAPTER 2
WHAT IS "CHI" ENERGY?
"Essence, chi, and spirit are the three jewels of life!'
—Book of Changes and The Unchanging Truth,
Master Ni Hua Ching
Taoist cultivation of sexual energy cannot be understood until the
Chinese concept of "chi" is clear. Chi, also known as prana, the
warm current, Kundalini power, or the electro-magnetic life force,
is very difficult to describe because this life energy is invisible and
cannot be seen. However, we can feel it. "Chi" is simply the
Chinese word for "breath." On the physical level it is the raw air
we breathe in and out, revitalizing us and keeping us alive. Our life
hangs by this thin thread of breath every second of our lives, and
that thread is seemingly empty air.
We transform that raw air by mixing it with other nutrients
and refining it into a different kind of energy, one that takes a solid
form. It becomes our blood, flesh and bones, but never loses an
inner rhythm of pulsation that flows through each cell. Our vital
organs—heart, liver


exploration allows you to permit the flow of inner responses, examining
them with tolerance directed toward yourself. By seeking your stream of
thoughts and simply going with them, the conduct of that other person
instantly loses its potency. You begin seeing your world suffused with the
harmony of the T ao eternally (and internally!) flowing through you.
In any situation—whether it be under the heading of “family,” “work,” or
“social”; or even just seeing the atrocities reported on the evening news—
you’ll become aware that there’ s no “they” who have power over you. Byrefusing to turn the controls of your existence over to anyone or any set of
circumstances, you’re exercising personal strength instead of force. You are
indeed experiencing self-mastery, and this new state of internal control has
come about because you’ve elected to live in accordance with the Tao. You
don’t need the approval of others or another possession in order to be happy
—you must merely understand yourself as a Divine piece of the eternal T ao,
always connected to that infinite essence.
Lao-tzu equates the ability to look within for the Source of enlightenment
and strength with eternal life. He reminds you that while externals such as
knowledge and the power over others may provide a long life, shifting to
being in charge of yourself offers imperishable wisdom and a ticket to
immortality.
Here’ s what this great master wants you to take from this verse of the Tao
Te Ching and apply to your world:
Focus on understanding yourself instead of blaming others.
Whenever you’r e anxious, in pain, or even mildly upset over the conduct
of others, take the focus off those you’re holding responsible for your inner
distress. Shift your mental energy to allowing yourself to be with whatever
you’re feeling—let the Tao flow freely, without blaming others for your
feelings. And don’t blame yours elf either! Just allow the Tao to unfold....
Tell yourself that no one has the power to make you uneasy without your
consent, and that 33rd Verse you’re unwilling to grant that authority to this
person right now. But you are willing to freely experience your emotions
without calling them “wrong” or needing to chase them away. Flow in the
Tao now! In this way, with this simple exercise at the moment of your dis-
ease, you’ve made a shift to self-mastery.
It’s important to bypass blame and even your desire to understand the
other person; instead, focus on understanding yourself. By taking
responsibility for how you choo se to respond to anything or anyone, you’re
aligning yourself with the Tao. Change the way you choose to perceive the
power that others have over you and you will see a bright new world of
unlimited potential for yourself.
Cultivate your desir e for others to discover the T ao in their lives.Dismiss any desire to extend power over others through the forceful
nature of your actions and your personality. Ego believes that others are
incapable of running their own lives and wants to control with force, so
demonstrate your inner strength  by abandoning such tactics. Catch yourself
as you’r e about to tell others how they “should” be. Use the opportunity to
practice allowing them to learn their own lessons without interference from
you. Notice how often you attem pt to use verbal force to convince others to
listen to you. Remind yourself to remain quiet and send loving energy.
Practice this kind of self-mastery even though it’ s rare in today’ s world. Y ou
are strong enough to trust the T ao.
When your judgments dominate, the flow of the Tao slows. See how the
world truly changes right before your eyes when you sincerely desire that
others follow their own life paths, which will lead them to realize the
greatness of the Tao. All those formerly perceived as needing you to tell
them what or how to live are also the same as you are in the Tao’s wisdom
and strength.
Do the T ao Now
Today, practice experiencing the unfolding of the Tao with someone who
usually causes you distress. Consciously initiate a conversation with that in-
law, ex-spouse, bullying co-wor ker, or family member, inviting the Tao to
flow freely. Notice how, what, and where you feel; remain warmly and
tolerantly in touch with the sensations within your body. You’ve entered the
space of self-mastery in this moment.
Here’ s what A Course in Miracles offers on this verse of the Tao Te
Ching: “This is the only thing that you need to do for vision, happiness,
release from pain.... Say only this, but mean it with no reservations... I
am responsible for what I see. I chose the feelings I experience... ”
OceanofPDF.comOceanofPDF.com34th Verse
The Gr eat W ay is universal;
it can apply to the left or the right.
All beings depend on it for life;
even so, it does not take possession of them.

It accomplishes its purpose,
but makes no claim for itself.
It covers all cr eatur es like the sky,
but does not dominate them.

All things r eturn to it as to their home,
but it does not lor d it over them;
thus, it may be called “gr eat.”

The sage imitates this conduct:
By not claiming gr eatness,
the sage achieves gr eatness.

Great Way
In this verse, Lao-tzu asks you to reevaluate your perception of greatness.
Typical definitions tend to center around the amount of fame and fortune
that an individual accumulates in his or her lifetime. As the previous verse
emphasized, the power to dominate and control others can also be used as a
benchmark of this quality: Commanders of huge armies and heads of state
who attract worldwide attentio n are considered great. Yet great men or
women are often thought of as having been instrumental in affecting the
course of human events in a positive way, making the world a better place
on eithe r a local or global level.  Greatness, then, is a claim made by or for
individuals who stand out from the crowd.
Verse 34 of the Tao Te Ching describes greatness in an entirely different
manner: Such a quality is the Tao, which is so all-encompassing that every
plant, creature, and human originates and lives because of it, yet it doesn’ t
seek to dominat e anyone or anything. The Tao doesn’ t ask for recogn ition
of any kind, for it has no interest in fame or being thanked for all that it
provides. It is this indif ference toward notoriety that makes true greatness.
When you change the way you think about this quality, you’ll see your
world in an entirely new way: You’ll no longer be gauging appearances and
accumulations, and you won’ t notice how much power you or anyone else
uses to exact dominance or control over others. Rather, your new way of
thinking will allow you to look for the unfolding of the Tao in everyone you
see. Perhaps for the very first time, you’ll notice greatness in others, as well
as yourself, in terms of the Tao that includes all. You’ll be able to look at
the sky and see its grandness, which demands absolutely nothing in return.
As you change your enculturated view of greatness, you’ll begin seeing a
different world. You’ll see the importance of everyone, including those
individuals you’ve previously identified as difficult or unreasonable. You’ll
begin to see that the holiness that ferments the galaxies is working in you,
in me, and in everyone. You’ll begin to trust that greatness is every person’ sheritage. The Tao is everywhere ; therefore, this quality will be visible in all
things and people.
Here are my suggestions for applying the 34th verse of the Tao Te Ching
to your everyday life:
Discontinue deciding what anyone else should or shouldn’t be doing.
Avoid thoughts and activities that involve telling people who are perfectly
capable of making their own choices what to do. In your family, remember
that you do not own anyone. The poet Kahlil Gibran reminds you:
Your childr en ar e not your childr en.
They ar e the sons and daughters of Life’ s longing for itself.
They come thr ough you but not fr om you...
This is always true. In fact, disregard any inclination to dominate in all of
your relationships. Listen rather than expound. Pay attention to yourself
when you’re having judgmental opinions and see where self-attention takes
you. When you replace an ownership mentality with one of allowing, you’ll
begin to see the true unfolding of the Tao in yourself and other people.
From that mom ent on, you’ll be free of frustration with those  who don’t
behave according to your ego-dominated expectations.
Discover a new definition of gr eatness.
Offer yourself a definition that doesn’ t use any standards of appearance or
traditional extern al measures of success. Notice those who give much, boast
little, nurture others, and decline recognition or credit, and put them in your
greatness file. Encourage yourself to practice these same kinds of
behaviors. Begin noticing how the Tao is always flowing in an all-
providing, no-boasting, nondemanding, nonpossessing manner. Can you see
how great that truly is? There are many people in your daily life doing just
that. Seek them out and acknow ledge them

the	following	steps:
Be	relaxed	in	your	attitude.	Show	that	you	are	friendly	and	approachable.
Even	if	you	are	used	to	the	way	boys	challenge	one	another	and	act
aggressive	to	show	that	they	are	part	of	the	gang,	give	that	behavior	a	rest.
Give	your	competitive	streak	a	rest	too.	Instead	of	competing,	find	a	quietplace	to	talk	about	what’s	happening	in	your	life.
Listen.	Turn	off	the	TV	and	computer.	Get	the	other	person	to	open	up,	then
focus	on	what	they	want	to	say.	When	you	listen,	you	immediately	bring	other
people	on	your	side.	Test	it	out	for	yourself:	When	someone	quietly	listens	to
you,	don’t	you	feel	accepted?	Today	you	can	give	that	same	feeling	to
someone	else.
Share	a	secret.	Nothing	is	better	at	showing	that	you	feel	trusting	and	open.
Be	honest	but	not	critical.	Openness	means	you	don’t	hold	back,	you	say	what
is	really	in	your	heart.	But	being	negative	makes	others	tense,	and	today	that’s
the	opposite	of	what	you	want.
These	are	simple	steps,	but	there’s	a	kind	of	magic	in	them.	Without	saying	a
word,	by	simply	being	open,	you	can	have	a	totally	new	relationship	with
your	family,	for	example.	You	will	instantly	be	perceived	as	no	longer	a	threat
to	anyone.	And	these	steps	aren’t	just	for	now	They	will	serve	you	well	for

“Who	would	you	rather	have	for	a	father?”	asked	Baba.	“Your	own	dad	or

“God	knows	everything	you	do.	He	sees	every	bad	thought.	There’s	not	a	lot
of	wiggle	room.”“But	isn’t	God	supposed	to	be	perfect?”	asked	Baba,	smiling.	“Why	would

“Perfect	creates	a	lot	of	stress.	I	don’t	think	I	could	breathe	around	God,”	I
said.
“Fair	enough.	Parents	are	worried	about	being	perfect	too.	They	are	trying	to
be	as	fair	as	love	can	be.	But	in	truth	God	is	doing	that	as	well.	Your	soul
doesn’t	push.	It	knows	where	you	are	sensitive	or	self-conscious,	and	it
allows	you	to	keep	your	secrets	for	as	long	as	you	want.
“If	you	see	things	this	way,	it	becomes	a	lot	easier	to	understand	why	parents
are	the	way	they	are.	They	fit	into	what	your	own	soul	wants	you	to	hear.
Begin	to	appreciate	your	parents	from	the	spiritual	level	whenever	you	are

soul.	Then	one	day	you	will	see	that	you	also	taught	them	many	things.	Every
child	is	also	a	parent	at	the	soul	level.”
Q
UESTIONING
Today,	do	two	things	that	may	sound	like	opposites:	Ask	yourself	a	new
question	and	answer	an	old	one.	The	new	question	is	easy	to	find.	Pick	up	any
book	about	human	nature,	maybe	a	novel	or	a	book	on	psychology	or
relationships.	Find	a	part	of	the	story	where	two	people	are	in	conflict,
perhaps	a	couple	who	are	fighting.	Ask	yourself,	“If	I	had	to	decide	this
argument,	which	side	would	I	pick?”	Then	pick	the	other	side	and	ask	why	it
is	right	instead.	Questioning	keeps	your	mind	sharp	and	focused.
But	the	mind	also	needs	to	settle	on	answers.	So	take	a	question	that	nobody
seems	to	know	the	answer	to:	Is	there	a	God?	Does	Satan	exist?	What
happens	after	we	die?	Give	yourself	an	answer	and	watch	what	happens.	The
instant	you	answer	a	question,	many	new	possibilities	come	to	mind.	It’s	a
sort	of	reverse	psychology,	because	the	instant	you	are	sure	you	know
something,	a	little	voice	inside	can’t	help	but	chime	in	with,
Maybe,	but	what
about	X
?	Baba	taught	me	to	respect	both	sides	of	questioning.
“People	say	you	should	never	stop	asking	questions,	but	I	only	half	believe
that,”	he	said.	“You	should	also	keep	accepting	answers.”
“I	don’t	see	how	they	can	go	together,”	I	said.“They	can,	once	you	see	that	questions	aren’t	meant	to	last	forever.	If
someone	spends	a	lifetime	looking	for	God	without	finding	him,	that	would
be	a	terrible	waste.”
“It	happens	all	the	time,”	I	pointed	out.
“The	problem	is	doubt,”	said	Baba.	“Doubt	doesn’t	lead	to	answers;	it	only
breeds	more	doubt.	Many	people	would	like	to	know	that	God	is	real,	but	they
aren’t	willing	to	give	up	their	doubts	along	the	way	They	would	rather	keep
them	intact	until	God	gives	them	a	sign.”
“How	do	you	get	around	that?”	I	asked.	“I	mean,	their	doubt	is	real.”
“Let	one	answer	unfold	at	a	time,”	said	Baba.	“When	you	make	a	best	friend,
he	doesn’t	have	to	prove	himself	all	over	again	every	time	you	meet.	Yet	you
make	God	go	back	to	zero	when	anything	goes	wrong.
“Be	more	accepting.	When	you	see	a	reason	to	think	that	life	is	good,	believe
in	that	reason	and	don’t	go	back	on	it.	The	next	reason	will	be	more
convincing.	Going	back	to	doubt	every	time	is	what	turns	life	into	one	big
question.	Keep	your	eye	on	the	answers.	They	are	coming	your	way	all	the
time,	in	small	hints	and	clues.”
I’ve	tried	to	live	that	way,	but	one	small	worry	keeps	returning,	so	I’ll	bring	it
up	here.	I’ve	met	hundreds	of	people	who	don’t	believe	in	a	personal	God.
Some	tell	me	that	they	believe	in	a	higher	self.	Some	use	the	word

,	and
they	pray	to	the	universe	the	way	other	people	pray	to

In addition, since the average age of the seven patients achieving a markedly
improved or moderately improved status was 63 years, it is reasonable to assume that the dual drug treatment is safe and effective in elderly subjects.
In summary, DMSO–FDP administration to mostly elderly subjects was well
tolerated when given twice daily for an average of 12  days, following ischemic stroke. Moreover, DMSO–FDP might have provided neuroprotection to some of the patients in this small population group during a 3-month follow-up. Although this preliminary study of DMSO–FDP treatment for acute and subacute ischemic stroke examined a relatively small population, there was evidence that the dual treatment was more effective as a neuroprotector than standard treatment during the recovery period following an ischemic stroke.
While no hard conclusions can be drawn from these observational findings, the
preliminary impression on the use of DMSO–FDP for ischemic stroke is that the dual drug combination may have improved recovery of neurologic deficits in the majority of treated patients. This effect by DMSO in elderly subjects following stroke has not been reported for any other treatment.
The remarkable finding of this study is that elderly patients who are known to
be most vulnerable to ischemic stroke damage and more refractory to therapy than younger patients responded well to DMSO–FDP IV treatment with no major adverse effects and revealed an ostensible benefit to neurological outcome considerably past the 3 h window of opportunity offered by tPA therapy. The collective neuroimaging
evidence gathered from the 11 patients treated for ischemic stroke with DMSO–FDP
points to an apparent improvement of cerebral perfusion in the affected brain regions.
The DMSO–FDP findings also signal the need for a larger population RCT to test
the value of this drug combination under a more controlled setting.231 DMSO in Clinical Neuroprotection

brainwashed by the aluminum companies to erroneously
believe that adding sodium fluoride to our drinking water
will reduce tooth decay in our children. Over 150 million
Americans drink a daily dose of sodium fluoride in their
water without knowing of it!
Fluorine, the gangster of
the chemical under world,
made the deadly atomic
bomb possible. The only
scientific way to free the
necessar y quantities of
fissionable Uranium 235,
buried in the inert mass of
its parent U-238, is to for ce uranium hexafluoride gas
through many acres of porous barriers. The next part of
the process gradually concentrates the elements, creating
deadly “Hex”, a deadly vicious hazard from radiation.
These 11 Associations, back in 1996
Stopped Endorsing W ater Fluoridation
• American Heart Assoc. • American Academy of Allergy & Immunology
• American Cancer Society • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Action Network
• American Diabetes Assoc. • National Institute of Law Municipal Officers
• American Chiropractic Assoc. • American Civil Liberties Union
• Nat’l Kidney Foundation • American Psychiatric Assoc. • Soc. of Toxicology
15 Millions of Americans drink water spiked with a
sodium fluoride solution. A chemical cousin of sodium,
fluorine is not as toxic as “Hex”... but toxic enough, in
high concentrations, to be used as a standard roach and
rat killer and a deadly pesticide.
Yet this terrible, deadly sodium fluoride, injected
virtually by government edict into drinking water in the
proportion of 1.2 parts per million ( PPM), has been
declared by the United States Public Health Service to
be “absolutely safe for all human consumption”. Every
qualified chemist knows that such “absolute safety” is
not only unattainable, but a total illusion!
The Grim Stor y Behind Fluoridation
16 It was in the year 1939 that a famous institute in the
eastern part of the United States commissioned their
biochemist to find a use for the sodium fluoride wastes
produced by aluminum foundries. Some 45 other
industries also had fluoride disposal problems. Many
were tormented by expensive damage suits arising from
the noxious pollution effects of the poison on livestock
and crops. Oil refineries, metal smelters, tile, brick, steel,
fertilizer and ceramic plants and the Atomic Energy
Commission installations were involved. The cost to
eliminate this deadly chemical was ver y costly. Was there
no way this by-product could be put to a profitable use?
Now this biochemist was a clever and cunning man.
He came up with a big money-making idea: why not
dissolve the stuff in drinking water? He had absolutely no
medical background and had not conducted any clinical
resear ch into the effects of sodium fluoride on our body’ s
chemistr y. His idea went over big with companies who
were burdened by what to do with sodium fluoride wastes.
Russian studies back in the 1970s demonstrated that workers suffering
from exposure to fluoride in the workplace exhibited signs of impaired
mental functioning. – Health Action Network – www.hans.org
From the British Journal Nature, 1986 : Researcher Mark Diesendorf assessed
24 studies from 8 countries and found cavity rates had declined equally in
fluoridated and nonfluoridated areas, showing fluoridation isn’t necessary!
The USA leads the world in heart diseases, strokes, cancers and diabetes! The next step was not difficult... turn the idea over
to clever advertising companies and let them brainwash
the public into believing that the greatest health
measure in modern times had been discovered. Give a
“tall tale” to the gullible American public and if it sounds
scientific, they will bite – hook, line and sinker! So they
used the tall tale that sodium fluoride in drinking water
would prevent tooth decay in children, as they found a
Texas town that had naturally occurring fluoride and it
seemed fewer dental cavities. The public was eager to
hear mor e. At last, a way to prevent tooth decay! Sadly,
most became convinced at first – despite that every smart
thinking person knows that tooth decay comes from
poor nutrition and especially the high consumption of
all the refined sugar drinks, candy and products!
Big business and large professional organizations
have a way of sticking together. Remember, they have
the powerful m edia behind them  because of  econom ic
control exerted by the publishers’ chief sour ce of
income – adver tising! With the aid of all the  television,
radio, newspapers and m agazines, the major business,
professional and social organizations promoted the ‘great
merits’ of sodium  fluoride – although totally false and
dangerous – to the innocent, believing American people.
Any person who publicly questioned this poisoning
of drinking water with sodium fluoride was called
ignorant, uninformed and backward! Most doctors and
dentists surrender ed to these powerful for ces for fear
of being discredited by their professional associations!
But, you can always find some honest and sincere
professionals who fight for truth –  no matter how others
might ridicule them! Extreme pressures were put upon
all U.S. city and state governm ents to fluoridate the
drinking water and still are! Big business and large
professional organizations, which can act like the
Mafia, don ’t take “No” for an answer! They know how
to pressure state, city and water officials to think
and take action their way, often not for good!
17
Health risks associated with our current fluoride intake (exceeds 6 mg/day) can
be described in a nutshell: An intake of 5 mg/day will cause average individuals
to develop crippling deformities of the spine and major joints within a lifetime. 18Fluoridation can cause tooth enamel mottling, poor
health, mongolism in infants and increases the
growth of cancer cells.
We must all demand safe, pur e water! Shocking Historical Fluoride Facts
•	Adolf Hitler sought a means to make people docile
and suggestible. He discovered that odorless sodium
fluoride slowly poisons and makes dormant the small
tissue in the brain’ s left rear occipital lobe that
normally helps a person resist domination. Fluoride
allows muscles to move one way, but not relax. In
large doses fluoride can cause paralysis and death.
•	Sodium fluoride is classified with arsenic and cyanide
as a dangerous poison and is used in rat poison.
Hydrogen fluoride is an industrial pollutant. It is
illegal to sell or give away a fluoride pill of 1 mg.
Fluoride slowly destr oys the body’ s self-repair and
rejuvenation capabilities causing premature ageing,
bone damage and defor mities.
•	Fluoride increases the risk of hip fractures up to 41%.
The Fluoridation Fiasco*
•	In recent years, fluoridation of our water supply has
been shown not only ineffective in preventing tooth
decay, but it poisons the body! How and why should
public health policy and the American media live with
and perpetuate this toxic sham?
•	At first, industr y could dispose of fluoride legally only
in small amounts by selling it to insecticide and rat
poison manufacturers. Then a commer cial outlet was
devised in the mid 1930s when a connection was
made between a water supply bearing traces of natural
fluoride and lower rates of tooth decay. Even after
this connection was proven erroneous, it became a
political, not a scientific issue! Many opponents
originally started out as proponents, but changed
their minds after closer looks at mounting evidence.
They started viewing it as a capitalist-style con job of
epic proportions poured down American throats.
* Excerpts from an article by Gary Null called The Fluoridation Fiasco. More Fluoridation Fiasco Facts:
•	The Sierra Club found in a study that people in
unfluoridated developing nations have fewer dental
caries than those living in industrialized nations. They
concluded “fluoride is not essential to dental health.”
•	In British Columbia, only 11% of the population
drinks fluoridated water,  as opposed to 40-70% in
other Canadian regions. Y et British Columbia has the
lowest rate of tooth decay in Canada, with the lowest
rates of dental caries occurring in areas of the province
where the water is not fluoridated.
•	In 1986-87, 39,000 school children between ages 5
and 17, living in 84 areas around the countr y, were
studied. 3 of the places were fluoridated, 3 were
partially fluoridated and 3 were not. Results showed
no statistically significant differences in dental decay
rates between fluoridated and unfluoridated cities.
•	A World Health Organization sur vey reports a decline
of dental decay in W estern Europe, which is 98%
unfluoridated. Europe’ s declining dental decay rates
are equal to and sometimes lower than U.S. rates.
•	A 1992 University of Arizona study yielded surprising
results when they found that “the more fluoride a
child drinks, the more cavities appear in


  They had said that he’d feel better when he got to be in his mid-fifties.
But the young doctor couldn’t envisage life for the next 30 years with those migraines which
sometimes kept him in bed, in a darkened room, with violent pain and nausea, for two or three
days a week!  There had to be a better answer, and he was determined to find it.
To start his search, he read everything apparently relevant that he could find.  Nothing positive
turned up.  He visited a number of professors as a patient and found no help.  It was by accident (if
we believe in accidents) that one day he came across a paper describing how a woman, suffering
from migraines, was helped when she using himself as a guinea pig.  He abandoned his normal
choice of food and tried out several different diets.  It changed her diet.  DIET! Nobody had taught
him anything about diet; nor had his teachers ever mentioned the possibility that any chronic
disease was connected with diet. But, as always, he was willing to experiment, even took him a
while and a number of failures before he established that a salt-free vegetarian diet kept him free
from the pain and nausea of migraines.
That was when he started to use dietary treatment in his practice. When patients came to his
office in Bielefeld suffering from migraine, he told them frankly that according to all the medical
texts there was no cure for this problem—but that he himself had been suffering from it, until a
change of diet had brought him relief.  He suggested that the patients try the same method. When
these patients returned to see him some 3-4 weeks later, they regularly reported that they were
free from migraines—as long as they adhered to the strict dietary rules and didn’ t cheat.
This experience made Dr. Gerson to refer to his method as the ‘Migraine Diet,’ the single
treatment for a single complaint, as specified in conventional medicine, until something happened
to change his view.  One day a migraine sufferer consulted Dr. Gerson and was urged to adopt
the ‘Migraine Diet.’  He did.   But when he returned a month or so later, he had something
extraordinary to report: yes, his migraines were gone, but the skin tuberculosis ( lupus vulgaris)
he had been suffering from was also healing. Dr. Gerson was skeptical:  “No, you couldn’t have
had lupus, it must have been something else, lupus is incurable,” he declared.  But the patient
produced the results of laboratory tests, which proved that indeed there had been tubercle bacilli
in the tissues of his lesions.  Dr. Gerson was stunned. He couldn’t see a connection between
migraine and lupus, so why did both conditions heal? This was another decisive moment in his
life when he had to ask a question and find an answer. To start with, he asked his patient whether
he knew other lupus sufferers, and if so, to send them to him for treatment, free of charge. Some
came and were cured. and Dr. Gerson had to accept that his migraine diet could also heal the
reputedly incurable skin tuberculosis.
His remarkable results reached the ears of the famous lung tuberculosis specialist, Ferdinand
Sauerbruch, of Munich, Germany.  He put 450 of his ‘incurable’ lupus patients on Dr. Gerson’s
diet, saying that if Gerson could stop the progress of the disease in a single patient, he would
believe everything the young doctor claimed. The Gerson diet not only arrested the disease

www.thegersonway.comprocess, it actually cured 445 of those seriously ill patients. Sauerbruch’s response was to publish
‘his’ results in numerous scientific papers.
But Dr. Gerson was not satisfied. He reasoned that if skin tuberculosis (TB) responded
positively to diet, why would not other forms of TB do so? What about the killer disease lung
tuberculosis, and kidney-, bone-, encephalitic and other forms of the disease? He started to treat
such patients, too, with his diet, among them the wife of Dr. Albert Schweitzer, and found that
they also recovered.  More importantly still, many of those patients also had other problems along
with their TB: high or low blood pressure; allergies, asthma, kidney disease and more.  These
diseases also disappeared with the ‘migraine’ diet!
At this point it became very clear to Gerson that he was no longer healing a disease with
dietary changes: the patients’ metabolism and immune system were responding, which meant that
he was healing the whole body, and this opened the door to curing all ‘incurable’ chronic diseases.
From that moment onwards his path led him in a totally different direction from that of orthodox
medicine. His patients were now healed, not drugged.
The first big step toward healing cancer came in 1928, when a lady called him to her bedside.
In Dr. Gerson’s own words, “I asked her what was wrong, but on the phone she didn’t want to
tell me.” When he arrived at her home, the patient told him that she had been operated for cancer
of the bile duct; now she was jaundiced, ran a high fever and needed help. Dr. Gerson told her
that he didn’t know how to treat cancer, but she insisted, quoting his success with TB cases. Then
she asked him to look at a big book that was lying on her table, open at the chapter called “The
Healing of Cancer.” In this book on folk medicine, Dr. Gerson recalls, “there was something
about Hippocrates who lived 550 years [sic] before Christ. …. He had the idea that the patient has
to be detoxified with a special soup and with some enemas.”
He told the patient once again that he was unable to treat her, but at her insistence he agreed
to try, and wrote down a treatment plan for her—essentially the same as his treatment for TB. As
he records it, “I tried—and about six months later the patient was cured! She was up and about
in the best condition. She sent me other cancer cases. One had metastasized glands around the
stomach—also cured! The third case was also cured!
Later in Vienna he tried again, treating six cases, but all six failed. He was shocked and
discouraged, but “…once it was in my head and my hands and my heart, I could no longer
separate myself from that problem.” 1
Some years later Gerson settled in the U.S. In order to obtain his license to practice, he first
had to pass a medical exam; then he was unable to find a hospital where he could treat patients.
And yet, he said, “I couldn’t get the first three cases out of my mind. I kept thinking, it must be
possible. It would be a crime not to do it.”
He studied all the medical literature and research material he could find and discovered

www.thegersonway.comthat there was a difference between patients suffering from general chronic diseases and those
suffering from cancer. Later he described this difference by specifying that “the chronic disease
patient has a weak, damaged liver; the cancer patient has a toxic liver.”  He also found that the
cancer patient could not completely digest and assimilate fats and oils, whose undigested residues
were picked up by the tumor tissue, which grew and thrived on them. After years of trial and
error, amassing direct experience at the sickbed, he arrived at developing a remarkably effective
treatment that worked even for terminally ill patients.
Gerson’s startlingly original ideas and new methods did not fit into the allopathic medical
system. He wrote a number of articles on his work and on patient outcomes and submitted them
to several medical journals; all were refused with various excuses. Subsequently, patients who
inquired about Gerson at the American Medical Association (AMA) were told that his method
was ‘secret,’ as ‘he refused to publish.’
The Board of Censors of the New York Medical Association wrote to Dr. Gerson five times,
asking him to submit records proving his work. Five times he patiently assembled more of his
records and on occasion even presented some of his recovered patients. His only request was that
the Board publish their findings. They never did.
Wanting to ensure the continuation of his work, Dr. Gerson was anxious to train other doctors
and/or assistants in the practice of his Therapy. On several occasions young medical doctors,
not yet established in their practice, would approach Gerson and ask to be accepted as assistants
to learn the treatment. Always ready to pass on his experience to a keen young colleague, he
accepted such offers.
The ‘assistanceship’ never lasted more than 4-5 days. After that time, the young doctor would,
in embarrassment, explain to Dr. Gerson


 they
want for themselves, or whose l ife isn’ t at the level they would like it to go,
are not willing to do what it takes. They’re willing to go only  so far, and
then the y throw up their hands and say, “No, I can’ t do that. Y o u mean you
want me to leave here? I’ve been here all my life. Y ou want me to go back
to schoo l and change careers? Y ou want me to run eight miles? Y ou want
me to give up chocolate? Y ou want me to keep doing that every day? ”
Again, it’ s a qu estion of how w illing you are. If you are willing to do
whatever it takes to turn your v ision into reality, then you will be able to
manifest that vision in myriad ways.
WHA TEVER YOU W ANT IS ALREADY HERE
There’ s an old story about a person who went to his guru and listed all
the t hings that he wanted from life, such as wealth and happines s. The guru
said, “I’ve got it for you.” He gave the man a cup, which had nothing in it,and added, “Y ou already have everything you need to be all those things.
Y ou already are that.”
Once you get what the guru was saying, then you can apprecia te it. Y ou
think about what you want for yourself, and you realize that what you’re
visualizing is already here. If you already know that whatever you have is
what yo u created, then all you have to do is understand that whatever you
want to create from this point on is entirely up to you. It’ s all done through
something called “thought.”
This is a crucial point: Everything you could ever want is alr eady her e.
All t he w ealth a nd abundance that you could possibly ever want is already
here. Y ou’ve just got to tune in.  If you’re willing and know that it’ s here, it
can’ t miss you. That’ s the way the universe works.
Let’ s say  you want to sell five m illion books. W ell, what would that take?
It w ould take fi ve million people to buy one book, one million people to
buy five  books, or what have you, but the people who are going  to buy your
books ar e already here. In other  words, the ener gy that is going to generate
the wealth that you want is already here. Y ou just haven’ t tuned in to it yet.
If you want wealth in your life, that wealth doesn’ t have to somehow
materialize from another dimension. W ealth is her e.  Aga in, everything that
you could possibly ever need or want for yourself is already here—you
must know that and live that. If you believe that you ne ed to have
something else in order to be fu lly happy, then all you’ll do is be in another
place to not app reciate what you don’ t have. Like the man visiting his guru,
you must know that you already are it all.
Of c ourse, it’ s n ot like you can simply visualize yourself as wealthy, and
then poof— you’ll be wealthy. There are two things that go along with the
endeavor. First, you visualize yourself as having wealth, enjoying
abundance inste ad of scarcity. T hen you see the abundance in your life and
connect to that. Y ou don’ t just tell yourself, All r ight, now I ’ve got that
pictur e; now I’ll sit ar ound and wait for abundance to walk into  my life.  W e
always have to act on  whatever image we have.
So now  you’re  beginning to act on a new image, which is one of
abundance. Y ou  af firm: I a m entitled to  have things impr ove in my life.
Ther e ar e no mistakes in the perfection that is this universe. I am  part of the
perfection of this whole universe. I am not separated out fr om humanity; I
am a part of it all. Whatever God is, that is within me as well. I am Divineenough to ask, and I am important enough to r eceive.  These thoughts
augment your image of abundance.
When you start acting on that positive, abundant, wealthy image you
have, it won’ t b e long until you r actions take over. But again, what you’re
visualizing is here already. It’ s not going to arrive from Mars or  someplace.
If it wasn’ t here, you wouldn’ t be capable of visualizing it. How could you
visualize what it would be like t o be able to do something that is impossible
for y ou to do? How could you visualize yourself being an enti ty that lives
on N eptune when you hardly kn ow anything about Neptune and have never
been there? Y ou wouldn’ t visua lize yourself as some creature m ade out of
gases or  vapors. However, it is important to remember not to p ut limits on
yourself when it comes to what you are capable of realizing here on planet
Earth.
I read a very interesting study done with unemployed people who were
asked to visualize themselves ge tting a job. One of the people had had a job
that paid  $25,00 0 a year. Anothe r person’ s previous job had pai d $50,000 a
year. An other w as an executive whose job had paid $250,000  a year. All
three were told to practice this visualization technique: See your self wit h a
job, see yoursel f working again, and then act on that visualization.  Each
one of them did so, and as they saw themselves working again, that thought
began to manifest itself and they began to act on it.
Three months later, all of the s ubjects were employed again. The first
person, who’d had a $25,000 job, now had another $25,000 job. The
$50,000-a-year p erson had a job  paying that same salary. And the executive
had a job payi ng $250,000. It wasn’ t because these individuals lacked
special training or abilities that would keep them from having higher -paying
jobs. Th ey got the jobs that the y saw themselves having; that’ s what they
imagined for themselves.
A jo b is n’ t going to arrive from another planet; a job is already here. Y ou
just have to tune in to it now and connect to it. So if you imagine yourself
working as a cle rk and tell yourself, That’ s all I’m capable of doing  and I
can’ t go beyond that, the n you look for and act on clerk kinds of images.
W ithout the thought, you can’ t get the job. The job is a thought. Every day
you get up and think, and then y ou get into your formation and  go do your
job.
The $50,000-a-year guy was a salesperson who saw himself c ontinuing
to make  that salary, so that’ s what he went after. His vision wa s not one ofabundance; it was of scarcity. I t’ s like he told himself, Ther e’ s a limit o n
how muc h mone y I can make because of my history, because of my training,
because of whatever it is that I’ve convinced myself of.  The executive went
for anot her executive position and matched his previous salary as well.
Everyone in the study essentially stayed at the same level they were before.
Examples like these preclude anybody from saying, “Y eah, all of this
fancy higher -consciousness, spirituality, transformational kind of talk, it’ s
very interesting and nice. If I’ve got time and all that, I’ll get in to it.” Such
people are missing the message that James Allen talked about:
circumstances do not make a man; they reveal him.
WHERE ARE YOU PUTTING YOUR FOCUS?
Many o f us find ourselves looking at our life backward, which is what
the e go encourages us to do. It doesn’ t want us to face inward and contact
the h igher self, which encourages us to be present. W e need to stop looking
in a rear view mirror and turn toward the now, to see how our li fe can work
in a new and authentically free way.
Y ou can start by asking yourself this question: What do  I want to expand
in my life?  If you want positive things to expand, for example, then keep
thinking positiv e thoughts as much as possible. Y ou’ll act on that vision,
and positivity will expand for you.
I o nce saw a wonderful story on TV about Mary Thomas, the m other of
Isiah Th omas, th e great basketball star of the Detroit Pistons. At one point
she said, “I’m not poor. I’ve been broke, I’ve been without money, but I’m
not poor. I’ve never been poor, and I never will be poor.” This is the kind of
consciousness th at I’m talking about. If you focus on what y ou want to
expand in your l ife instead of w hat you don’ t have, then what you focus on
is going to expand.
