 in almost every instance has failed. Whole religious orders in the Occidental World have tried this
very thing, but they, too, have failed because they have tried
to master the procreative energy by suppressing it. There is
only one way to master this powerful urge, and that is not by
dissipating or suppressing it but by TRANSMUTING it —
transmuting it and at the same time lifting it upward. In this
way you really and truly have discovered not only the ‘Elixir
of Life,’ as the ancients called it, but you have put it to use as
well, which is something the ancients were seldom able to do. “Now this Rite Number Six is the simplest thing in the
world to perform. It should only be practiced when one has an
excess of procreative energy; when there is a natural desire
for its expression. It can be done so easily that it can be per-
formed anywhere at any time. When one feels the powerful
reproductive urge, here is all that is necessary:
“Stand erect and then let all the air out of the lungs, as one
bends over and places his hands on his knees. Force out the
last trace of air. Then, with empty lungs, stand erect, place
hands on hips, and push down on them. This has a tendency
to push up the shoulders. While doing this, pull in the abdomen
just as far as possible, which raises the chest. Now hold this
position as long as you can. Then when you are forced to take
air into the empty lungs, let the air flow in through the nose. Exhale it through the mouth as you relax the arms and let
them hang naturally at your sides. Then take several deep
breaths through the mouth or nose and allow them to quickly
escape through either the mouth or the nose. This constitutes
one complete performance of Rite Number Six. About three
are required to subdue the most masculine urge and to turn
—23B—the powerful procreative or reproductive forces upward. “The only difference there is between the average virile
man and the Super-man is that the virile lets the procreative
urge flow downward while the Super-man turns the procreative
urge upward and reproduces within himself a new man—a
strong, powerful, magnetic man who is constantly growing
younger, day by day, moment by moment. This is the true
SUPER-MAN, who creates within himself the true ‘ELIXIR
OF LIFE.’ Now you understand why it was unnecessary for
me to have left my native England to find the ‘Fountain of
Youth’—it was within me all the time. Now you can see that
when I wrote you some time ago that I had found ‘The Foun-
tain of Youth’ and was bringing it back with me, I meant
just that. The Five Rites and the ‘Fountain’ are one. “When I remember Ponce de Leon and his futile search for
the ‘Fountain’ I think of how simple it would have been for him
to stay at home and simply use it; but he, like myself, believed
it was anywhere in the world except within one’s self. “Please understand that in order to perform Rite Number
Six it is absolutely necessary that a man have full masculine
virility. He couldn’t possibly raise up and transmute pro-
creative energy if there were little or none to transmute. It is
absolutely impossible for the impotent man or the one with
little virility to perform this Rite. He shouldn’t even attempt
it, because it would only lead to discouragement, which might
do him great harm. Instead he should first practice the other
five Rites until he has full masculine power, and this regardless
of how young or how old he may be. Then when the first full
bloom of youth is experienced within him, he may, if he wishes,
go on to the business of being a SUPER-MAN. “The man of the world is interested only in the material
things of the world, and for that reason should practice only
the first five Rites until he feels the urge or desire within to
become the SUPER-MAN. Then he should decide definitely ;
for a clean-cut start and a new life are absolutely necessary
to those who lead the SUPER-LIFE. They are the ones who
become MYSTICS, OCCULISTS, and ADEPTS. They it is
who truly see with THE EYE OF REVELATION. “Again I say, let no man concern himself with the up-turning
of the sex currents until he is thoroughly satisfied in his own
mind and heart that he truly desires to lead the life of the
MYSTIC; then let him make the step forward, and success
will crown his every effort. —14—The Eye of Revelation
PART THREE
After the tenth week Colonel Bradford no longer attended
each weekly meeting. However, he still kept up his interest
in the “Himalaya Club,” and from time to time would speak on
various subjects which would aid them in their work. Some-
times the members requested him to advise them on some
particular subject. For instance, we discussed among our-
selves one night the tremendously important part that food
played in our lives. How the right food would make us more
alive and vigorous while the wrong food would make us slug-
gish and dull. None of us knew much about the subject,
however, so we requested the Colonel to advise us at our next
meeting as to the Lamas’ policy regarding food. “In the Himalayan Lamasery where I was a neophyte,” said
the Colonel, in addressing us the following week, “there are no
problems concerning the right foods, nor in getting sufficient
food. Each of the Lamas does his share of the work in pro-
ducing what is needed. Furthermore, all the work is done by
the most primitive means. Even the soil is spaded by hand. Of course, the Lamas could use horses and plows if they so
desired, but direct contact with the soil, handling it and work-
ing with it, seems to add something to man’s existence. Per-
sonally, it made me feel very strongly that I was a part of the
Universal. Not merely working with it or working for it but
rather that the Universal and I were one. “Now it is true that the Lamas are vegetarians, but not
strictly so. They do use eggs, butter, and cheese in quantities
sufficient to serve certain functions of the brain, body, and
nervous system. But aside from this they do not need meat,
for all who are strong and virile, and who practice Rite Number
Six have no need of meat, fish, or fowl. “Most of those who join the ranks of the Lamas are men
of the world who know little about proper food and diet. Yet
they are only in the Grand Retreat in the Himalayas a very
short while when they begin to show wonderful signs of physi-
cal improvement, due no doubt to the diet in the Lamasery. “No Lama is choicy about his meals. He can’t be because
there is little to choose from. A Lama diet consists of good,
wholesome food but as a rule it consists of but one article of
—25—food to a meal. That in itself is a secret of health. When one
eats just one kind of food at a time there can be no clashing
of foods in the stomach. Foods clash in the stomach because
starches will not mix with proteins. For example, bread, which
is starchy, when eaten with meats, eggs, or cheese, which are
protein, sets up a reaction in the stomach which often causes
not only immediate physical pain, but which contributes as
well to a short life and a not particularly merry one. “Many times in the Lamasery dining hall I have set down
to the table along with the Lamas and eaten a meal consisting
solely of bread. At other times I have had nothing but fresh
vegetables and fresh fruits, while at still another meal I ate
nothing but cooked vegetables and cooked fruits. At first I
greatly missed the large variety of foods to which I had been
accustomed; but after a short while I could eat and enjoy a
meal consisting of nothing but dark bread or some one partic-
ular fruit. Sometimes it would be a feast of one vegetable. “The point I wish to bring out to you gentlemen is not that
you should resign yourselves to a diet of one kind of food to a
meal but that you should keep starches, fruits, and vegetables
separate from meats, fish, and fowl at your meals. “It is permissible to make a meal of just meat. In fact, you
could have several kinds of meats to a meal. You can have
butter, eggs, and cheese with the meat meal, and dark bread,
and, if you wish, coffee, or tea, but you must not end up with
anything sweet or starchy. No pies or cakes or puddings. “Then again, your meal can be strictly starches. Then you
can indulge in all the sweet fruits, all the bread, butter, pies,
cakes, puddings, and fresh or cooked vegetables you like with-
out feeling any ill effects. But keep these meals separate. “Butter seems to be a neutral. It can be used with either a
starchy meal or with a meat meal.


 of getting the item, or refrain from
obtaining it altogether. Practice doing the Tao in everyday situations and you’ll know
contentment in a deeper sense. As this verse says, “When action is pure and
selfless, everything settles into its own perfect place.” Now that’s my
definition of contentment!OceanofPDF.comOceanofPDF.com4th Verse
The T ao is empty
but inexhaustible,
bottomless,
the ancestor of it all. Within it, the sharp edges become smooth;
the twisted knots loosen;
the sun is softened by a cloud;
the dust settles into place. It is hidden but always pr esent. I do not know who gave birth to it. It seems to be the common ancestor of all, the father of things. OceanofPDF.comLiving Infinitely
The Tao is the Source of all life, yet it is empty and limitless and cannot
be constrained, quantified, or measured. This life-giving energy of creation
provides a profound Source of joy that’s accessible at all times. If you live
from an infinite perspective, you’ll relinquish the idea that your only
identity is the physical body in which you progress from birth to death. In
your totality, you’re an infinite being disguised as a person existing in the
world of “sharp edges” and “twisted knots” that this verse refers to. Coalescing within and around you at all times is the invisible life-giving
force of the T ao. It is inexhaustible. It is bottomless. It cannot be depleted. This 4th verse of the Tao invites you to consider rearran ging your
thoughts about who you are. It seems to be saying that cultivating an
awareness of the infinite aspect of yourself is the way to tap into the
limitless Source of creative energy that flows through you. For example,
you may want to help less fortunate people improve their day-to-day
existence, but you don’t believe that you have the time or energy to do so
because of who you are and what you presently do. As you relax your hold
on the idea of yourself as the job you do or the life you’re living and seek to
acquaint yourself with the limitless creative energy that’s a part of you, the
time and ener gy you require will appear. Imagining yourself helping others, guided by the infinite aspect of
yourself, will generate behavior and actions that complement your vision
through the “common ancestor”  of the Tao. Ultimately, you’ll cultivate an
absolute knowin g that whatever assistance you need is right here and right
now—in front of, in back of, above, and below you. It is empty, yet very
much present. It is, as Lao-tzu reminds you, “inexhaustible, bottomless, the
ancestor of it all.”
Awareness of the omnipresen ce of the Tao means that thoughts of
shortages or lack aren’ t prevalent. Beliefs such as “There’ s no way this will
happen,” “It’s not my destiny,” or “With my luck, things could never work
out,” cease to be entertained. Instead, you begin to expect that what you
imagine for yourself is not only on its way—it’ s already here! This new
self-portrait based on the cooperative presence of the invisible Tao elevatesyou to living an inspired life—that is, one of being “in spirit” or in
unending touch with the Tao. When you live infinitely, the rewards are a
sense of peaceful joy because you know that all is in order. This is what I imagine Lao-tzu’ s ancient words mean in our modern era:
Consider all things that seem to be a pr oblem
from the perspective of the eternal T ao. Believing that there’ s a shortage of prosperity is a signal to think in terms
of the inexhaustible Source: the Tao. Just like everything else on our planet,
money is available in limitless quantities. Know this and connect to the
bottomless supply. Do it first in your thoughts by affirming: Everything I
need now is here. Prosperity thoug hts are energetic instructions to access
your infinite self, so actions will follow them. Take this same approach—stay ing in harmony with the Tao—to all of
your problems, for there’ s an all-encompassing supply of well-being to
partner with. So rather than giving energy to illness and perceived
misfortunes, stay with the Tao. Stay with what can never be used up. Stay
with that which is the father of all things, the creative Source of all. It will
work with and for you, as you have it in your thoughts, then in your
feelings, and finally in your actions. Be an infinite observer. When acknowle dged as a sign of change, worry is transitory—i t’s simply
part of the world of the changing. If you view your life from  the vantage
point of an infin ite observer, concerns, anxieties, and struggle s blend into
the eternal mix. From this ageless perspective, picture how important the
things you feel depressed about now will be in a hundred, a thousand, a
million, or an uncountable number of years. Remember that you, like the
infinite T ao from which you originated, are part of an eternal reality. Rearrange your thoughts to practice thinking in alignment with the Tao. With the assistance of the eternal Tao, all of the sharp edges of life smooth
out, the knots loosen, and the dust settles. T ry it! Do the T ao NowPick a situation today (any situation will work), and instead of verbally
responding, be silent and listen to your thoughts. For example, in a social
gathering or business meeting, choose to seek the emptiness found in
silence in order to be aware of your infinite self. Invite it to let you know
when or whethe r to respond. If you find your worldly ego interpreting or
judging, then just observe that without criticizing or changing it. You’ll
begin to find more and more situations where it feels peaceful and joyful to
be witho ut respo nse... just to be in the infinity that’s hidden but always
present. You might want to duplicate this advice of my teacher Nisargadatta
Maharaj and post it conspicuously so that you can read it daily:
Wisdom is knowing I am nothing,
love is knowing I am everything,
and between the two my life moves. And while you’re living, stay as close to love as you can. OceanofPDF.com5th Verse
Heaven and earth ar e impartial;
they see the 10,000 things as straw dogs. The sage is not sentimental;
he treats all his people as straw dogs. The sage is like heaven and earth:
To him none ar e especially dear,
nor is ther e anyone he disfavors. He gives and gives, without condition,
offering his tr easur es to everyone. Between heaven and earth
is a space like a bellows;
empty and inexhaustible,
the mor e it is used, the mor e it pr oduces. Hold on to the center. Man was made to sit quietly and find
the truth within. OceanofPDF.comLiving Impartially
The Tao does not discriminate—period! Like heaven and earth, it is
impartial. The Tao is the Source of all, the great invisible provider. It
doesn’ t show preference by giving energy to some while depriving others;
rather, the basic life-sustaining  components of air, sunshine, atmosphere,
and rain are provided for all on our planet. By choosing to harmonize our
inner and outer consciousness with this powerful feature of the Tao, we can
realize the true self that we are. The true self is our unsentimental sage
aspect that lives harmoniously with the Tao. This aspect doesn’ t view life in
one form as more deserving than another, and it refuses to play favorites. Or, as Lao-tzu states, “He treats all his people as straw dogs.”
Lao-tzu uses this term to describe how the Tao (as well as the enlightened
ones) treats the 10,000 things that comprise the world of the manifest. In
Stephen Mitchel l’s translation of the Tao Te Ching, he explains that “straw
dogs were ritual objects, venerated befor e the ceremony but afterward
abandoned and trampled underfoot.” In other words, Taoism reveres and
respects existence impart ially, as an ebb and flow that is to be revered and
then released. With impartial awareness, the sage genuinely sees the
sacredness within all the straw dogs in this ceremony we call life. The 5th verse encourages us to be aware of this unbiased Source  and, as a
bonus, to enjoy  the paradoxical nature of the Tao. The more rappo rt we
have with the energy of the Tao and the more we’re living from its all-
creating perspective, the more it is available to us. It’s impossible to use it
up—if we consume more, we simply receive more. But if we attempt to
hoard it, we’ll experience shortages ourselves, along with the failure of
having even a wisp of understanding. The Tao and its inexhaustible powers
paradoxically disappear when we attempt to exclude anyone from its
unprejudiced nature. The varied forms of life are illusory as far as the Tao is concer ned, so no
one is special or better than anyone else. This sentiment is echoed in the
Christian scriptures: “[God] sends rain

creative intelligence that controls both creation and destruction. The darkness, being essential, is not to be feared, shunned, or denied. Our strategy as evolving selves is to patiently confront every sign of
darkness, accept ing that the light will find a way to transform it and reveal
the essential truth it hides. There is no need to use the tools of darkness
against it, either, since violence, resistance, denial, despair, hatred, and fear
are not how the light operates. The light is nothing but awareness revealing
something new about itself, enabling the true self, which is universal, to
manage everything. A surgeon cannot operate upon himself, but the ego-
personality isn’ t playing the role of a sur geon—the true self plays that role. Living the vision of Royal Y oga, each of us must remember that the true
self is the real self. Only by standing firm in who we really are can the
evolution of consciousness take hold every day throughout our lifetime. There’ s nothing more to know and nothing more to do if you want to live in
the light forever. OceanofPDF.comTo everyone who aspir es to live in the light

In recent years, I’ve developed a passion for Yoga in all its aspects, and I
am grateful to my teacher Eddie Stern, whose wisdom and depth of
knowledge extend far beyond our daily sessions of practicing Hatha Yoga. No one has ever taught me more about Y oga. It was inspiring  to have Sarah Platt-Finger as my collaborato r in this
book. She exemplifies all the virtues and benefits of her deep dedication to
Yoga. A write r couldn’ t be more fortunate than to receive the loyalty,
guidance, and personal support of everyone at Harmony Books, beginning
with Diana Baroni, whose dedic ation to publishing is a source of constant
admiration. Your insight and decision-making have been crucial in the
difficult times we’ve been passing through—my heartfelt thanks. I’ve enjoyed a bond of closeness and shared admiration with my editor,

ecosystem of yoga is vast, with innumerable teachers; it is a great privilege
to share my teachings with such a luminary. Thank you for trusting me to be
your co-pilot on this project. To my husband, my spiritual partner, and the person without whom
none of the words on my pages  would have formed: Yogiraj Alan Finger. Thank you for allowing me to walk alongside you for the past fifteen years,
sharing the ISHT A lineage worldwide. Thank you for teaching me
everything I know in the process. Your endless support and blessings of this
book have meant the world to me. To Claire Kinsella-Holtje, for reminding me of the power of my own
unique voice. I could not have written this book without your mentorship
and validation. To my parents, John and Sheila Platt, who always supported the creative
energy within me, even if that meant spending most of my childhood upside
down or climbin g on the furnitu re! Thank you for encouraging my words to
go on paper from such a young age. To my sister, Emily, thank you for being my first teacher in life and a
role model for life. I am so grateful to you. Thank you to my editor, Gary Jansen; my publisher, Diana Baroni; and

 herpes is a formulation consisting of a
5% solution of idoxuridine in various concentrations combined with DMSO. A small amount of the idoxuridine–DMSO solution was painted on the herpetic lesions of 16  patients, and details of the progress of the lesions were recorded daily by an observer in a double-blind manner. 58
The duration of the attack until the arrest of lesion was 1.2 days in the group
receiving idoxuridine–DMSO and 2.45 in those receiving only DMSO. Thus, there seemed to be a synergistic action when using idoxuridine–DMSO solution as opposed
to DMSO alone. Both drugs were more effective than no treatment. 58 This study
has been replicated many times following results from a study by Spruance et al.,59
which showed significant acceleration of healing in herpes labialis lesions when

301 immunocompetent patients were treated with a solution of 15% idoxuridine–80%
DMSO solution. Idoxuridine–DMSO preparation has been approved for herpes
 zoster in Canada and Europe.60
Another antiviral agent tested for the treatment of herpes simplex infection is
topically administered acyclovir in polyethylene glycol (Acy-PEG). A comparison of this Acy-PEG ointment preparation was made versus acyclovir–DMSO ointment in excised human and guinea pig skin. 61 Results from this study established that Acy-
PEG formulation penetrates human skin very slowly.61 This result was attributed to
PEG inefficacy since the preparation using acyclovir–DMSO ointment was signifi -
cantly more effective. A more consistent interpretation of this study is that DMSO appears to exert antiviral activity by itself since it was found that acyclovir ointment alone had only limited therapeutic benefit. 61 There is, in fact, corroboration for this
latter conclusion from another independent study done in Spain. That study reports that although DMSO has been regarded as a useful excipient
that can carry active antiviral agents across membranes to increase penetration into tissues of these agents, findings show that DMSO may express antiviral activity by itself. 62 Rabbit skin fibroblasts were used to grow the recombinant HSV-1 and Vero
cells to analyze the action of DMSO.62 DMSO was able to block productive infection
in HSV-1 in Vero cells when administered after virus adsorption. DMSO appears to cause this block in HSV-1 production by acting at different sites with positive cooperativity, as suggested by the Hill numbers of the inhibition curves. 62 The results
indicated that DMSO inhibits HSV-1 viral DNA synthesis in vitro, blocked the sta -
bility and maturation of the free virion, and also reduced the levels of a number of viral transcripts. 62 Thus, it was concluded from this study that DMSO may possess
antiviral activity by previously undisclosed inhibitory mechanisms. This important finding should be considered in relation to how herpes infec -
tions can progress to serious disorders. Although most of herpes infections are mild, they can lead to lethal encephalitis, and this virus accounts for 20% of all reported encephalitis cases. 63
To our knowledge, there are no studies that have used DMSO either as an adju -
vant or as a primary therapy in human viral encephalitis. Paradoxically, DMSO with acyclovir has been used for the prophylaxis and therapy of equine herpes virus type 1 (EHV-1) infection, which can cause myeloencephalopathy and death in horses. 64,65
Since DMSO has been used as a solubilizing and penetrant carrier for other antivi -
ral agents for such conditions as rabies and viral-induced myocarditis,66,67 it is logical
and justified to reappraise the potential antiviral activity by DMSO in the interest of drug safety since many of the antiviral agents on the market have adverse effects that could be avoided by considerably lowering their dose when combined with DMSO. DMSO is a frequently used solvent and penetrant carrier through the skin for
antifungal drugs. DMSO is recommended to dissolve antifungals with poor aque -
ous solubility, but recently, DMSO has gained attention for drugs that are currently prepared in water. Using DMSO to prepare all approved antifungals would increase the consistency
of the methods for drug preparation listed in the current Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines and could help avoid precipitation of the antifungal agents, which would impair their efficacy. 68111 DMSO in Basic Microbiology
DMSO by itself has shown effectiveness against the strains of many fungi that
cause skin, hair, and nail infections, including trichophyton, epidermophyton, and
microsporum at dose-dependent concentrations of 1%–10%.69 Trichophyton is a skin
infection that causes athlete’s foot, ringworm, jock itch, and similar dermatophyte infections of the nail, beard, skin, and scalp, while epidermophyton and microspo -
rum affect hair, skin, and nails. 70
DMSO was evaluated in vitro  at a 2% concentration against an assortment
of Candida species and was observed to slow the growth of all Candida isolates tested. 71
Antifungal activity by DMSO was also observed recently at concentrations
between 0.5% and 1% against six yeast species, including Candida  species.72
The antifungal effects of DMSO are especially important in the geriatric popu -
lation due to the higher prevalence of seborrheic dermatitis, mucosal and cutane -
ous candidiasis, tinea pedis, and onychomycosis found in this group of patients.73
Treatment of these elderly people with dermatophytoses and yeast infections should depend on the patient’s medication list to avoid potential drug interactions and whether topical or systemic therapy is indicated. 73

of extraordinary wisdom, compassion and
love, who has shown  me that my highest
thoughts about human relationships do not
have to remain fantasies, but  can be
dreams come  true. Fourth and finally, I want to recognize some
people I have never met, but whose lives
and work have impacted me with such
force that I cannot let this moment pass
without thanking  them from the depth of my
being for the moments of exquisite
pleasure, insight into the  human condition,
and pure, simple Lifegefeelkin (I made up
that word!) they have given me. You know what it is like when someone has
given you a taste, a glorious moment, of
what is  really true about life? For me, most
of these have been  creative or performing
artists,  because it is from art that I receive
inspiration, to which I retreat in moments of
reflection,  and in which I find that which we
call God most beautifully expressed. And so I want to thank...John Denver,
whose songs touch my soul and fill it with
new hope  about how life could be; Richard
Bach, whose writings reach into my life as
if they were my  own, describing so much of
what has been my experience; Barbra
Streisand, whose  directing, acting, and
musical artistry grips my h eart time and
time again, causing it to feel  what is true,
not merely know it; and the late Robert
Heinlein, whose visionary literature has  raised questions and posed answers in
ways no one else has dared even
approach. For
ANNE M. WALSCH
Who not only ta ught me that God exists,
but opened my mind to the wondrous truth
that God is my best friend;
and who was far more than a mother to
me,
but gave birth in me
to a longing for and a love of God,
and all that is good. Mom was
my first meeting
with an angel. And for
ALEX M. WALSCH
Who told me repeatedly throughout my

“There’s nothing to it,”
“You don’t have to take No for an answer,”
“You make your own luck,”

Dad was
my first experience
of fearlessness. Introduction
You are about to have an extraordinary
experience. You are about to have a
conversation  with God. Yes, yes. I
know...that’s not possible. You probably
think (or have been taught)  that’s not
possible. One can talk to God, sure, but not
with Go d. I mean, God is not going to  talk
back, right? At least not in the form of a
regular, everyday kind of conversation! That’s what I thought, too. Then this book
happened to me. And I mean that literally. This book was not written by me, it
happened to me. And in your reading of it,
it will happen to  you, for we are all led to the
truth for which we are ready. My life would probably be much easier if I
had kept all of this quiet. Yet that wasn’t the  reason it happened to me. And whatever
inconveniences the book may cause me
(such as  being called a blasphemer, a
fraud, a hypocrite for not having lived these
truths in the past,  or—perhaps worse —a
holy man), it is not possible for me to stop
the process now. Nor do I  wish to. I have
had my chances to step away from this
whole thing, and I haven’t taken them. I’ve
decided to stick with what my instincts are
telling me, rather than what much of the
world  will tell me, about the material here. Those instincts say this book is not
nonsense, the overworking of a frus trated
spiritual  imagination, or simply the self -
justification of a man seeking vindication
from a life misled. Oh, I’ve thought of all of
those things —every one of them. So I gave
this material to a few  people to read while it was still in manuscript form. They were
moved. And they cried. And  they laughed
for the joy and the humor in it. And their
lives, they said, changed. They were
transfixed. They were empowered. Many said they were transformed. That’s when I knew this book was for
everyone, and that it  had to be published;
for it is a  wonderful gift to all those who truly
want answers and who truly care about the
questions; for  all those who have embarked
upon quests for truth with sincerity of heart,
longing of soul,  and openness of mind. And
that’s pretty much all of us. This book addresses most, if not all, of the
questions we have ever asked about life
and love, purpose and function, people and
relationships, good and evil, guilt and sin,  forgiveness and redemption,  the path to
God and the road to hell...everything. It
directly  discusses sex, power, money,
children, marriage, divorce, life work,
health, the hereafter, the  before -
now...everything. It explores war and
peace, knowing and not knowing, giving
and taking, joy and sorrow. It looks at the
concrete and the abstract, the visible and
the invisible,  the truth and the untruth. You could say that this book is “God’s latest
word on things,” although some people
might  have a little trouble with that,
particularly if they think that God stopped
talking 2,000 years  ago or that, if God has
continued communicating, it’s been only
with holy men, medicine  women, or
someone who has been meditating for 30
years, or good for 20, or at least half -decent for 10 ( none of which categories includes
me). The truth is, God talks to everybody. The
good and the bad. The saint and the
scoundrel. And certainly, all of us in
between. Take you, for instance. God has
come to you many ways  in your life, and
this is another of them. How many times
have you heard the old axiom:  When the
student is ready, the teacher will appear? This book is our teacher. Shortly after this material began happening
to me, I knew that I was talking with God. Directly, personally. Irrefutably. And t hat
God was responding to my questions in
direct  proportion to my ability to
comprehend. That is, I was being
answered in ways, and with  language, that
God knew I would understand. This accounts for much of the colloquial style  of
the writing and the occas ional references to
material I’d gathered from other sources
and prior experiences in my life. I know now
that everything that has ever come to me in
my life  has come to me from God, and it
was now being drawn together, pulled
together, in a  magnificent, c omplete
response to every question I ever had. And somewhere along the way I realized a
book was being produced —a book
intended for  publication. Indeed, I was told
specifically during the latter part of the
dialogue (in February  1993) that three
books woul d actually be produced, and
that:
1. The first would deal mainly with personal
topics, focusing on an individual’s life
challenges  and opportunities. 2. The second would deal with more global
topics of geopolitical and metaphysical life
on the  planet, and the challenges now
facing the world. 3. The third would deal with universal truths
of the highest order, and the challenges
and opportunities of the soul. This is the first of those books, completed
in February 1993. For clarity I should
explain that,  as I transcribed this dialogue
by hand, I underlined or circled words and
sentences which  came to me with
particular emphasis —as if God were
booming them out —and these were  later
placed in italics by the typesetter. I need now to say that I am —having read
and reread the wisdom contained here —
deeply  embarrassed by my own life, which has been marked by continued mistakes
and misdeeds,  some very shameful
behaviors, and some choices and
decisions which I’m certain others  consider
hurtful and unforgivable. Though I have
profound remorse that it was through
others’ pain, I am unspeakably grateful for
all that I have learned, and found that I
have still  yet to learn, because of the
people in my life. I apologize to everybody
for the slowness of  that learning. Yet I am
encouraged by God to grant myself
forgiveness for my failings and  not to live in
fear and guilt but to always keep trying —
keep on trying —to live a grander  vision. I know that’s what God wants for all of us. Neale Donald Walsch,

HEALTH PROBLEMS   THROUGH
DETOXICATION, JUICE PROGRAMS AND RAW FOOD
INTRODUCTION
It is with great anticipation and hope that I have gathered together, from more than 40 years of experience, a collection of
some of the most remarkable and inspiring cases of recoveries from a large group of diseases, many of which were
classified as “incurable”. These people, through the use of raw juice programs, have either completely restored their health
or greatly improved. While in America, water fasting has been popular, in Europe the use of raw vegetable juices has been preferred and used
in many large medically supervised institutions, While water-fasting requires mostly bed rest, the use of juices allows one to
continue working, since the use of juices provides some nutrition interspersed with detoxication, the removal of toxic
materials from the body and the simultaneous replacement of minerals, vitamins, enzymes, a limited amount of
carbohydrates, proteins, fats


 the body’s internal equilibrium. Reflexology does not claim to diagnose or cure, but
it has a good record of improving general well-being. It must be used gently and cautiously with
cancer patients, avoiding reflex points that correspond to affected areas of the body. Reiki  is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing. Its
practitioners claim that there is an invisible life force energy that flows through us and keeps us
alive. If this energy becomes low, we fall sick and suffer from stress, so in order to heal the Reiki
master channels the energy through his or her hands into the patient’s body. There is no need for
massage, only for very gentle touch, but although the patient feels very little, the treatment is
truly holistic, affecting body, emotions, mind and spirit. Because of its non-specific nature Reiki
is able to help in any disease and works well with other medical or therapeutic techniques. The
word itself consists of two parts: Rei means higher power, Ki stands for life force energy, so the
implication is that Reiki is a spiritually guided way of restoring universal life force energy in
those who need it. Acupuncture  originated in China some 2000 years ago, and has been known and increasingly
practiced in the U.S. since 1971. Its essence is the stimulation of certain anatomical points on the
body by penetrating the skin with thin metal needles and manipulating them by hand or electrical
means. This is claimed to regulate the nervous system, activate the body’s own painkilling
biochemicals and strengthen the immune system. Acupuncture has a proven record of good pain
control and of hastening recovery from surgery. It can impart a sense of well-being and boosts
depleted energy. Acupuncture needles, which cause minimal pain, were approved by the FDA
for use by licensed practitioners in 1996. Today this ancient technique is used in the U.S. by
thousands of physicians, dentists and other practitioners for the prevention or relief of pain, and
members of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture use it on cancer patients in many
hospitals and clinics. Yoga  first emerged in India some 5000 years ago. It has several varieties, including hatha
yoga,  a physical discipline consisting mainly of stretching and breathing exercises, which has
grown in popularity in the West since the mid-20th century. Being non-competitive, gentle, and
accessible to people of all ages and levels of ability, yoga is ideal exercise for Gerson patients,
who wish to improve their flexibility, stamina and muscle tone. Yoga postures, known as asanas,
help to achieve balance and poise. The breathing exercises are soothing and relaxing and increase
the supply of oxygen to the organism, a great advantage, since cancer cells can only thrive in
an anaerobic, i.e., oxygen-free setting. Please note:  patients suffering from lung cancer or
emphysema should only undertake breathing exercises under the supervision of a trained yoga

more than a soft stroking. Deep manipulation is strictly counter-indicated, because cancer patients’
muscles are normally weakened and vigorous handling could easily damage them. The only kind of massage Dr. Gerson recommended for cancer patients consisted of a twice-
daily rub of their skin before meals with a mixture of two tablespoons of rubbing alcohol and two
tablespoons of wine vinegar in 1⁄2 glass of water. This method stimulates the circulation, opens the
capillaries and. leaves the patients feeling refreshed and invigorated. Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

Watch Out—Pitfalls Ahead
 To err is human, and as humans we can make mistakes in any area of life. But when seriously
ill people undertake a potentially life-saving program, such as the Gerson Therapy, even a
minor blunder or oversight could cause a major setback. This way of healing demands a total
transformation—not only of lifestyle but also of how the patients understand the principles of
sickness, health and healing, and how they respond to their bodies’ needs. This understanding is
all the more important, because the therapy forbids a great many things that are normal parts of
the Western lifestyle, and patients need to know  the reason behind the strictures in order to accept
them wholeheartedly. There is also the matter of observing the rules of the therapy, even without an authority figure
to check or chide the patient, as there would be in a conventional medical setting. It takes maturity
and inner strength to be one’s own supervisor and stay on the straight and narrow path—but the
rewards are enormous and make it all more than worthwhile. Save Up Your Energy! So let’s take a close look at the possible mistakes, temptations and tripwires that a patient
is likely to encounter, especially in the early stages of the Gerson protocol. Ironically enough,
the first pitfall is the great improvement in the patient’s condition that sets in during the first few
weeks on the full therapy, especially if these are spent at the Gerson hospital in Mexico. When
such patients return home—this holds true especially for women—they look and feel better, are
often free from pain, and so the family assumes that they can once again rely on the patients to
take up all ‘normal’ duties and serve them. This is particularly heavy on the wife/mother, who
probably feels guilty anyway for ‘letting down’ the family by being ill and having very real needs
of her own; guilt may drive her back into her normal routine. Male patients normally have a more
relaxed attitude on coming home, but even they want to start to work, take exercise, or deal with
chores around the house. Neither behavior is acceptable. As stated before, patients need a great deal of rest. Their
bodies are working hard to detoxify and heal, and that is more important than any domestic
activity. Actually in most cases, although patients look remarkably better, they do feel tired and
even weak for the first 2-3 months of the therapy, unable to indulge in much activity. And yet,
instead of listening to their bodies’ message, some patients actually force themselves to be up,
make their own food and juices (a 6-8 hour daily job!) and exhaust themselves. That is a serious
mistake, almost guaranteed to undermine the good effects of the program. Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.com A similar problem arises 3-4 months into the therapy, when the initial tiredness goes and
energy returns to such an extent that patients feel virtually normal again. So they want to be fully
active again and make up for ‘lost’ time; women launch themselves into major house cleaning,
they wash curtains, scrub floors and attack mountains of ironing; men clear out the garage, and
according to the season either shovel snow or cut the lawn, or even repair the roof, just to prove
that they are fully functioning once more. The urge is understandable but must be resisted. Superficial improvements, e.g. increased energy, do not equal healing. Rest and more rest is still
essential, to avoid a sudden downturn. It was one of Dr. Gerson’s important rules that patients should be in bed not later than 10 p.m,
not reading or watching TV or listening to the radio—sleeping if possible, or at least at complete
rest. The time before midnight is particularly valuable for the body’s self-repairing and restoring
work and must not be curtailed. Bending the Rules
 Admittedly the dietary rules of the Gerson Therapy are pretty strict, and while most patients
quickly get used to them, there are some who long for their now forbidden favorite foods—never
mind that those had probably contributed to their health breakdown. These patients tend to think
that surely having a “little extra” on the side every now and then can’t possibly do much harm,
and would even raise their morale and improve their mood. Wrong, on all counts. First of all, how much is “a little,” and how often is “every now and
then?” Furthermore, once the strict adherence to the protocol is broken, it’s easy and tempting to
break it again. And again. Also, consider that since in this treatment the body receives instructions
and messages via precisely calculated nutrients, each of which affects all the others, to disturb the
process with occasional additions of salty, fatty, chemical-laden junk food sounds like a disastrous
idea. Often it is not the patient but well-meaning visitors—friends, relatives—who suggest
breaking the diet and having “a nice big steak to build you up!” They are the ones who question
how a grown person can survive, let alone heal, on all that “rabbit food,” and even if the patient
manages to


 the job. What is it
about me wher e I always set u p myself to fail. Answers begin to come,
floating right into your consciousness from your higher self, from the
Divine. Now, ho w you apply this in you r own day-to-day life becomes the very
essence of awakening. Y ou can meditate before a client meet ing and see
how you want it to work out. While you cannot control how other people
are going to ac t or react, beca use that’ s for them, you are in control of
yourself. Y ou can certainly ma ke an impact on how that other person is
going to react t o you with how  at peace you are with yourself and how
unattached you are to the outcome. Y ou’re focusing on How I can serve this
other person. rather than What is going to come to me. Y ou can do this in
all o f yo ur relationships: look fo r the beauty and joy in your ow n mind, and
see how you want those relationships to be. When I first got into a regular meditation practice, I would feel so
blissful toward everybody I saw I could hardly stand myself. I would just
look at them an d think, Ah, ar en ’ t they terrific. I had this connectedness
with everyone I came face-to -face with, from my family m embers to
complete strang ers. Blaise Pascal once said that “All of humanity’ s
problems stem from man’ s inabi lity to sit quietly in a room alone,” and that
makes sense to me. I could never imagine wanting to hurt anybody after
coming out of that state. When talking about meditation, I also like to use the example of having
two selves: one self is a thought and the other self is in form. I f you say to
yourself, Y ou jerk, you shouldn’ t have done that, you’ve got two people
there. Y ou’ve got the person who is doing the name-calling— that is, the
thought who is saying “you jerk”—and then you’ve got the jerk, who is the
body that has to react to what kind of thoughts you have. So  if you call
yourself a jerk, you have a thought of jerk and you have the jerk who has to
react. M editation can help you to bring those two selves into harmony so
that self one, the thought, and self two, the body, are in unity. Y ou are only
calling yourself what you want y ourself to be, and you are only seeing what
it is that you want in your mind for your body to do. Y ou can start to apply this by c losing your eyes and getting in to a very
quiet space. In fact, all you have to do if you don’ t have time to meditate is
take the last hour before you go to sleep and use it in this way, because it
will give  you a strong sense of total rest and relaxation, like y ou’ve never
experienced before. An hour of meditation will give you eig ht hours of
deep, restorative sleep. It’ s that powerful. It’ s said that this practice can ev en alter our own chemistry. Y o u can use
meditation to reach an ecstatic, b eautiful, exquisite high state that people sodesperately look  for in chemica ls. I think it would be especially beneficial
to teach young p eople about the power of their mind, so that they wouldn’ t
be temp ted to chase counterfeit freedom. Personally, meditation  has always
filled me with the most wonderful sense of peace and harmony. It’ s a
magnificent feeling, like you really are in touch with God. THE LA WNMOWER MANTRA
There’ s a nice story of a man w ho was bothered by a car honking for his
neighbors next door. He said to his wife, “If I had magical powers, I would
be able to give that car four flat tires every time he comes here. Or I’d be
able to put a silencer on that h orn and wouldn’ t even be able  to hear it. That’ s w hat I would do if I had magical powers. ” She replied, “No. If you
had magical powers, you wouldn’ t be disturbed by that horn at all. ”
Quieting your mind means that you’re no longer susceptible to all of the
external influences that are around you. For an example of this, you can
watch the US O pen T ennis Championships, which are played in  New Y ork,
right ne ar LaGuardia Airport. I’m always amazed when I s ee how the
players are able to play with the distraction and noise of jets flying
overhead. Y et when I’ve been really involved in a tennis match myself, I’ve
had jackhammers going next to me and not noticed them. My opponent
could be  going crazy from the n oise, but all my concentration is  on the ball. The people who are really good at a game, or any activity that requires
concentration, know how to do that. This makes me think of something that happened when I was on vacation
in Hawaii with my family some years ago. For seven days in a row, I got up
at 5:30 every single morning an d went out to meditate in a gras sy area next
to our hotel. One day I was sitting on my m at, and I was in a blissful stat e. I felt a
Divine e ner gy g oing up and do wn my spine, and it felt so go od. All of a
sudden, I heard this noise. V rrm vrrm. V rrm vrrm vrrm vr rm vrrm vrrm
vrrm. I  looked  up, and there was a mean-looking guy with a cigarette in his
mouth and tattoos covering his a rms. I realized that even though it was very
early in the mor ning, he was go ing to cut the grass. My first thought was,
Oh, no. I stood up, gathered my mat, and started to leave. Then all of asudden, my intuition came to m e and said, “Go back. Go back a nd use this. This is a metaphysical experien ce. ” It’ s not that I was hearing voices; this
was an internal thing. I thought, Huh. But I put the mat back down, and within about two
minutes I went r ight back into m y meditative state. My intuition said, “Use
the l awnmower for a mantra. ” So e very time I heard, V rrm vrr m vrrm  vrrm,
I’d think to myself, Oh yes. I got back into that blissful state. The guy cutting the grass came by my mat, and the sound was incredibly
loud. I thought, God, I’m her e and I’m listening, but why would Y ou send
this person to me at six in the morning. I see, this is a test. After about 10 minutes, he finally finished, and I was happy he was done. I wa s ge tting back into that very peaceful place when I heard  the loudest
noise I have ever heard in my life. My friend was back, and he had an edger
this time. As G od is my witness, this guy decided to edge my mat. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I thought, Okay, God. I’m going to use the edger for a mantra. I’m
staying her e. I’ve got to turn this into something. He wen t right by my mat,
Brrrrrrrrrrrrr. I  stayed with it. I didn’ t let the distraction get to me. It was
about half an hour of this, but the louder the edger got, the easier it got for
me. He f inished his yard work, and I finished meditating. I’ll bet he  thought,
Boy, this  guy is in some kind of trance, or he’ s dead. One or the other. It
really felt as if I had come out of a trance. When you end such a meditation,
it’ s like you can fly. Y ou can do anything, and all you have is love, all you
have is harmony, all you have  is peace for yourself and for the world. Nobody and nothing can get to you, no matter what. As I  wal ked tow ard this guy, I could see he was very tense. Now keep in
mind that I was  about a foot taller than him. He probably thou ght, This is
what I’m her e for. This guy’ s going to fight me. I reached into my pocket,
where I found about eight dollar s, and gave them to him. I said, “Thank you
so much  for being here. I really needed you today. ” He looked at me like, I
don’ t know what’ s going on her e, but I smiled and walked away. It w as th e greate st evidence I’ve ever experienced to prove that when life
hands you lemons, you can make lemonade. I was taught that day that
everything that comes to you, y ou have the power in your mind to turn it
into whatever you want. W e a ll get lawnmowers coming into our livesevery da y. What  we do with them and how we handle them, well, that is the
way to our personal transformation. CHAPTER 1 1
L


baleful results that lead to untimely demise. Tobe sure, persons are reported to have lived tonear or quite an hundred years of age ashabitual meat ers, but their occupations or
activities have been favourable to burning upthe dregs of metabolism, and the belief isreasonable that if they had not been thus self-abusing during the first century of their life
they might have gone quite a piece into thesecond century with their matured experience,example, and wisdom, serving the world to goodadvantage. THE USE OF MEAT. That meat is an emergency expedient in the
natural nutrition of man is pretty certain.Strictly speaking, we are all of us subsisting onmeat all of the time, but it is only one degree
removed from the vegetable kingdom, when we
ingest only the first fruits of the soil, asvegetarians do, and make meat of it within us.The vegetable nutriment is transformed intoour own flesh and blood in the form of fatchiefly, and then is used to furnish whateverheat and repair material we happen to need.When second-hand, already dead anddecomposing meat is eaten and thus used forlife-giving purposes, it is really not only second-hand supply but third-hand material. Forinstance, we may subsist exclusively onvegetable or farinaceous material and get ourrepair or fuel supply from such sources only.The result is, in part, the forming of the walls of
our own stomach. These walls are meat. Shouldwe turn into cannibals, devouring each other asthe Pacific (?) Islanders used to treatmissionaries and enemies, the stomach wallsbecome tripe and are easily digestible. Whilethey were live walls, holding in place glandssecreting powerful gastric juice, they resistedthe digestive aggression of their own juice, butthe moment they were separated from their ownliving combination, quite similar gastric juicedigested them as quickly as it does the whitemeat of a pet chicken. It is physiologicallypossible to cut out a part or the whole of ourown stomach, and then devour and digest it astripe in the small intestines. Hence it is that we are all meat ers, perforce,
but not all of us are third-degree-removedcannibals. What we call " pure vegetarians " areonly second-hand meat ers. I am indebted to the distinguished champion
tennis-player, diet-reformer, and restauratorEustace Miles, for the name " Meaters " todesignate those who eat meat; and I have coinedthe term " Mealers " to stand for those who takeonly first-hand earth-fruit products for their
nutrition, disregarding the fact that all aremeal ers who take meals of victuals. To offset
this addition to the vocabulary, it would do noharm to drop off the use of " Meals " and " Victuals," leaving " Meal " to mean only onething; viz., ground cereals or vegetables. *
One of the details of carefulness in
Fletcherism is expressed in the statement thatwe should not proscribe as food anything thatNature permits to be utilized as food ; but thesame carefulness prescribes that we do notprescribe it as food for everybody all of the time. Everything in its proper time and place is one ofthe common-sense rules of the system. Captain Amundsen and his comrades, as I
have already observed, were quite justified in
* It is not outside the province of Fletcherism to Fletcherize
our vocabulary and make it as single-meaning as possible in the
interest of simplicity. The term " Fletcherize " is alreadycommonly used to suggest analysis and digestion of crude raw
material other than food, and has come into use in literary
circles with especial usefulness. Young reporters on newspapersare often told by editors to take their " copy " in hand and
 " Fletcherize " it before handing it in for printing. Even such a
judicial person as Mayor Gaynor, of New York, had recourserecently to such advice relative to evidence, but he called it by a
name of his own not yet in common use.devouring their faithful and friendly sledge dogs
when necessary to preserve their own lives. Ihave the acquaintance of a collie dog whom Ilove devotedly; and I say  "whom " appropriatelybecause he is as intelligent as I am, and farmore consistent in his habits of orderliness andnaturalness. He is a real gentleman at all timesand as good a Fletcherite when the foodsubstance and occasion demand as I am. He haslearned to eat and enjoy apples and no one couldgive more careful mouth-treatment to somesorts of food than Bruce. I am sure that hewould want me to eat him if I needed him topreserve my life, just as unselfishly as theJapanese soldiers, and more recently theBalkanese soldiers, gave their lives for theircauses. Whether I would eat him or not I cannotsay, and I do not know if he would have similarconsideration or otherwise for me. I merely use this illustration as an aside in
consideration of the question of flesh eating onemergency or sentimental grounds. Naturepermits Bruce and me to eat each other, and ifwe managed it skilfully we could attack eachother's extremities at the same time, as long aswe did not encroach on our vital machinery, and
really eat each other up, as young lovers wouldlike to do. Thus much for sentiment. We are subsisting
on ourselves all of the time; we can nourishourselves at the expense of each other if we will. We can eat human flesh as nourishingly as
we can a Spring chicken, and if we do not knowwhat we are eating, Nature will say us never "No," but there are other considerations morepractical for every-day consideration. Theseare : physiological and economic expediency. MEAT  AND URIC ACID. In the thorough investigation that Dr.
Hindhede, of Copenhagen, has conducted for thepast few years, and in which I have assisted, Ihave followed the quest with eagerness becauseof the thoroughness of it. It has been proventhat very little protein or nitrogen is needed forthe human body even under strain of hardestphysical or mental activity. On the other hand,it has been found that any appreciable excess ofprotein or nitrogen results in both uric acidsecretion and increased blood-pressure,meaning, in all probability, finally fatal strain
on the organism. It has also been demonstratedthat it is almost impossible to take the leanermeats without getting more protein or nitrogenthan the body needs. It is quite easy to get excessive protein and
nitrogen from vegetable, farinaceous, and hen-fruit material, and cheeses are richer thananything in these " strong " food ingredients ;but these are not such subtle foolers of theappetite as meats done up in spicy gravies andaccompanied by appetising fats. I purposely avoid giving any figures relative
to the food values under mention because thefirst rule of Fletcherism in connection with theselection and intake of food is to leave thatentirely to appetite, working intelligently andnormally in relation to the food that is availableat the moment. To my thinking, the most important
consideration is economy, not alone of themoney cost of food, but economy of energy-consumption within the body. There may betimes when economy of money-cost means muchto persons struggling to lay aside anindependent competency for the purchase of
leisure in old age, or for insurance againstbecoming a burden upon others; and this is sureto happen to all who are not cursed by thehandicap of money inheritance. But it is theinternal economy of the body that counts lormost in estimating values. There is no doubtbut what flesh food is a stimulant of the same orsimilar character as alcohol. Both of thesesubtle agents of intemperance invite thestarting and accumulation of vicious cycles orcircles (swirls) of over-stimulation that have onebad effect, at least, on the comfort and efficiencyof the muscular tissues. They facilitate fatigueand " that tired feeling," and also may result incontingent " soreness " of muscle after unusualexercise. Faithful Fletcherizing has resulted in
regulating these matters in away that isnothing less than marvellous until the reasonsare revealed. Not only does observance of the habit and
practice which Mr. Rockefeller has condensedinto thirty-three words, including severalrepetitions for emphasis, result in settling thequestions of appropriateness, economy,
emergencies, and comfort in general betweenthe Meat ers and the Meal ers; between the
mixed Meat ers and Meal ers; and between the
Physiology and Psychology of normality ; andwhich Mr. Rockefeller calls " Fletcherizing," buta whole lot of beneficent cycles or circles(rhythms) of profitable felicities are set inmotion. TO SUM UP. The Meal ers have the advantage of the
argument in that they are always on the saferside of prudence, and there is no realdeprivation involved in the experiment. At the present moment I am, personally, still
in the experimental field as regards everythingthat Nature permits as food or drink. There isone point that vegetarianism has notsatisfactorily answered as yet. The greatmajority of conscientious vegetarians have notthe pink complexion that is usually reckoned asa sign of beauty or robustness, but I haveknown one, Frederick Madsen (Madsen theFaithful), an assistant of Dr. Hindhede inCopenhagen, to subsist on potatoes and butter,
or margarine, alone, for three hundred daysconsecutively, stopping only because thepotatoes to be

to
make
poultices
on
the
area
of
  the

with
the
most
suitable
type
of
urine. In
the
initial
stages
of
diabetes,
you
can
apply
an
enema
with
Shankprokšalana,
with
the
addition
of
slightly
salty
water,
evaporated
or
activated
urine. This
enema
is
recommended
to
be
done
once
every
three
days
until
complete
healing. The
total
amount
of
liquid
is
from
3
to
4
liters. The
ratio
between
salt
water
and
urine
is
about
3
liters
of
water
per
500

“I
once
met
a
group
of
old
people
on
a
train
who
were
full
of
energy
and
had
a
healthy
complexion. When
I
asked
how
they
maintain
such
health,
they
replied
that
they
have
cured
all
diseases,
including
diabetes,
with
urine
therapy
and
feel

that
time,
I
had
been
suffering
from
severe
diabetes
for
many
years,
the
blood

reached
29.7
units. After
meeting
on
the
train,
I
started
drinking
my
own
urine
every
morning
for
about
two
months. I
didn't
follow
any
diet. Blood

dropped
to
5.4

maintain
this
state
to
this

Next
follows
a
series
of
excerpts
from
letters
from
one
and
the
same
person,
showing
how
to
fight
diabetes
and
related
diseases. Letter
#1:
"I
have
had
diabetes
for
seven
years
and
fungal
eczema
for
five
years. I
started
treatment
with
urine
therapy. I
drink
urine
three
times
a
day,
I
massage
my
hands,
feet,
neck
and
face
with
a
quarter's
urine
once
a
day
after
11
p.m. However,
one
thing
was
killing
me:
at
first
my
penis
became
red
and
swollen. I
couldn't
even
touch
him. I
consulted
an
endocrinologist
and
a
urologist. I
didn't
take
any
medicine
except
urine. Shall
I
continue?" Recommendation:
Cleanse
the
colon
and
liver. To
better
cleanse
the
body
of
harmful
substances
and
waste,
go
to
the
steam
or
sauna
more
often
and
do
not
eat
artificial,
refined
foods. Letter
#2:
“As
I've
written
before,
I
have
diabetes
and
eczema... I've
done
a
colon
cleanse
and
cleansed
my
liver
twice
and
my
kidneys
once
(with
sunflower
oil). I
cleaned
my
joints
with
rice
and
bay
leaf
decoction. I
starved
for
three
days
a
month. Eczema
is
slowly
receding,
it
has
almost
disappeared
from
the

there
is
still
rough
skin
on
the
feet. I
have
applied
the
poultice
to
my
limb
several
times
as
per
your
advice
and
have
no
more
problems. Rub
the
hands,
feet
and
limbs
with
a
quarter's
worth
of
urine
daily. However,
I
have
another
concern. In
the
last
letter
you
advised
me
to
omit
bread
from
my
diet,
because
my
body
is
heavily
clogged
with
phlegm
and
slime. Should
I
give
up
all
bread
and
for
how
long? Otherwise,
I
visited
the
steam
room
and
felt
wonderful. I've
been
single
for
five
years
due
to
eczema. I
no
longer
take
medication
for
diabetes
and
treat
eczema
only
with
urine. I'm
in
a
good
mood. I'm
just
asking
for
answers
to
questions
about
bread
and
eczema
on
the
feet.' Recommendation:
Continue
to
cleanse
the
body,
eat
only
natural
products
and
cook
onlywith
melted
water. Letter
#3:
"I
will
describe
to
you
the
result
of
my
treatment. Recently,
I
drink
urine
three
times
a
day
and
at
the
same
time
rub
a
quarter
of
the
urine
on
my
feet
and
palms
for
5
to
10
minutes. I
starved
four
times,
twice
for
two
days
and
twice
for
three
days. I
pass
urine
5-6
times
a
day
and
have
eliminated

from
my
diet. In
the
past
two
months,
I
have
cleansed
my

twice
and
my

five
times,
washed
my
kidneys
once
with
rosehip
root
decoction,
drank
melted
water,
bay
leaf
decoction
and
ate
rice,
porridge,
salads
and
potatoes. At
the
same
time,
I
also
cured
hemorrhoids
with
urine
therapy,
and
it
seems
diabetes
too:
in
any
case,
its
symptoms
disappeared,
such
as
sweating,
weakness,
dry
mouth,
etc. According
to
your
advice,
I
go
to
the
steam
room
every
day. The
feet
are
cleared
of
eczema,
but
slowly. Eczema
on
my
palms
no
longer
bothers
me. I
await
further
advice.' Recommendation:
Supplement
the
diet
with
sprouted
grain
(stimulation
of
the
body
with
group
B
vitamins
and
trace
elements),
instead
of
massages,
apply
poultices
with
one-fourth
evaporated
urine
to
places
with
eczema
(use
it
more
often
at
all)
and
fast
for
longer
than
two
or
three
days
in
order
to
achieve
a
deeper
cleansing
of
the
organism. Letter
#4:
"I
have
not
been
able
to
completely
cure
my
eczema. I
ate
sprouted
grains
on
an
empty
stomach,
put
compresses
on
my
feet
with
evaporated
urine,
didn't
eat
bread
or
pastries
for
a
month,
and
starved
myself
for
a
week. I
drank
evaporated
urine
twice
a
day. I
follow
a
diet,
eat
only
salads
and
porridges,
drink
juices,
but
I
have
not
achieved
a
complete
cure. Although
my
feet
are
almost
eczema-free
and
my
palms
are
clean,
my
urine
and
blood
sugar
levels
are
close
to
normal. Anyway,
I
improved
my
health
with
urine
therapy.' Comment
and
recommendation:
Only
five
and
a
half
months
have
passed
since
the
beginning
of
the
treatment,
yet
the
disease
was
long-term:

to the ligament around the roots of the teeth to encourage the body to, according to Belfor,
“begin a cascade of events” which produces more bone cells. The process is called
morphogenesis and it all sounded brutal. But Belfor assured me I won’ t even notice it
happening because I’d only need to wear the retainer while I am sleeping. “ A n  e a r l y  s o f t  d i e t ” :  Ben Miraglia, DDS, “2018 Oregon Dental Conference Course Handout,” Oregon
