 muscles and
skeletal system. Nuts and seeds are structural foods.
The more raw, uncooked and unprocessed food you eat, the more vital
you become. Challenge your self-discipline. Try a 100 percent raw food
program, which is to say, nothing cooked. It makes a huge difference in the
level of vitality you can achieve. One should at least consider eating 80
percent raw foods and 20 percent cooked.
Here are a few things to keep in mind as you begin this process:
1
.
I do not recommend any kind of animal products at all, due to their huge
toxicity and acidic factors. They cause disease instead of rebuilding your
body. If you are going to eat meat, you should not eat it more than three
times a week, and only at lunch. This will allow the bulk of the digestive
process, which is acidic, to take place. Some believe that the body
doesn’t produce hydrochloric acid after 2:00
P.M.
 I personally have
never seen any scientific evidence to support this theory. However, light
alkaline meals in the evening will give you more energy, better sleeping,
and better healing potential.
2
.
Never eat meat with a starch. If you enjoy that heavy feeling, I suggest
you replace meat with a baked potato. You can use real butter, or natural
oils like olive oil, but no salts, sour cream or cheese. A baked sweet
potato would be preferable to an ordinary potato.
3
.
If you just want something hot, I would suggest a cup or bowl of
homemade vegetable soup (no tomatoes), steamed vegetables, or stir-fry
vegetables, along with a salad. (See our recipe section at the end of this
chapter for various soups you can make.)
4
.
Demand organic, vine-ripened foods that are chemical-free and
irradiation-free. We cannot allow the destruction of our foods or we will
all die. In a world where cancer is soon to be in every other person, it is
time for every individual to stand up and take charge of their own health.No one else will.
5
.
The focus for the first two or three months of detoxing should be on
low-protein, or “no-protein” type foods. This includes avoiding meat,
beans and nuts. Nuts, of course, are your best source of amino acids, and
would be my choice if you felt that you needed this type of food.
ONE DAY AT A TIME FOR FIVE DAYS

Take each day as it comes. Try to eat all raw fruits and vegetables that day.
The next day, try again. Keep trying each day until you have eaten all raw,
uncooked fruits and vegetables for five days straight. Feel the difference
between all raw and just some cooked foods. The difference is like night and
day.
Some days you may only want to eat fruits, which is great. Fruits have
the greatest cleansing power of all foods. Their high energetics makes them
an unmatched nerve and brain food.
Another method I’ve found to be successful is to eat all raw foods from
Monday through Friday. Then on Saturday and/or Sunday, if you must, have
your cooked vegetables with rice, etc. Get a cycle going for yourself. Your
body loves cycles. It loves habit. It actually depends and functions better on
routine.
As time goes on you may want to incorporate some fasting into your
program. This will accelerate the detoxification process. Give fasting your
best shot. The longer you last, the healthier you will get. Recondition yourself
by retraining your eating habits.
I designed this menu in our “Getting Healthy” program to be easy and yet
effective. Enjoy the clean feeling and the sense of vitality that raw foods
offer. You will never regret this journey into vibrancy, longevity and
spirituality.
HOW MUCH FOOD AND HOW OFTEN?

There has always been the question of: “How much and how often should a
person eat?” It is my personal opinion that we should eat only one-to-three
different foods at a time, and eat as often as we like, but only when we arehungry. Our society recognizes eating only three times a day: breakfast, lunch
and dinner. Because of this, we tend to overeat and combine many different
types of foods at the same meal. This only serves to overwork the GI tract
and digestive organs, causing mal-digestion and malabsorption of our
nutrients. Thus, people in our culture “five” mostly on fermentation and
putrefaction by-products.
Lack of Funds? Make Food Your Medicine
Lack of funds is a common problem that most of us have experienced. My
answer to this is simple: “You must always eat.” But
what
 you eat has
everything to do with your health. Instead of buying meats, which can be
expensive, spend that money on fruits and vegetables. Your goals and
priorities should always include your health.
Disease can be extremely expensive compared to getting healthy. A good
example of this was a young man who came to me with stomach cancer. He
had just been diagnosed at a cancer center in Tampa, Florida. The oncologists
there told him that they needed to remove two-thirds of his stomach. He also
needed some chemotherapy, and I believe radiation therapy as well. The cost
would be somewhere around $100,000 for all of this, after which he had a
twenty-five percent chance to live. They charged him $5,000 just to diagnose
him and report their findings. It took me fifty-nine days to help him cure
himself of stomach cancer, at a cost of $1800.00. So if you think natural
health is costly, think again.
Instead of buying items of desire, buy only out of necessity. Use any
funds you have left for good quality herbs or herbal formulas that will help
you achieve your health goals. Disease can leave you penniless; health will
leave you rich.

MODULE 7.5
The Detox Vitality Menu

This menu is set up for a four-week transition from heavy toxic food to pure,
more alkaline food, leading to detoxification and regeneration of your
system. While this menu is designed for beginners in this process and for“social eaters,” meaning those who eat out a lot, it is not necessary to use the
cooked vegetable and grain alternatives that are offered. Instead, for those
who want to engage this process more dynamically right from the beginning,
or those who are under the care of a health professional for particular medical
conditions, including cancer, MS, Parkinson’s, spinal cord injuries,
Alzheimer’s, and other conditions, this menu can simply be replaced at any
time with the choice to eat only raw fruits and vegetables (See Menu for the
Bold, which follows). Remember, you have the freedom to make your life
what and how you want it. OK, now let’s have fun and eat.

  for the time  to try and  explain;  but it did not arrive
while  the  Class  was  on there.  Afterwards,  a letter  came
from  this  blessed  one.  The  Messenger  had  made  the call to
Beloved  Saint  Germain  to go and  show  her  the  Truth.
Simultaneously,  she  was  impelled  to make  the Call.  The
time  had  arrived  for the Communication,  and  with  very
great  firmness,  she said:  "Now  if this  communication  is not
from  Saint  Germain,  see it does  not occur,"  and  it did not
occur!  Then,  she knew  the Truth  of the Words  the Mes-
senger  had  said  to her.  It was  not Saint  Germain  commu-
nicating  with  her;  and  the blessed  one  was  set Free  then
and there.  It was  a Magnificent  Thing.  She  was  a most
earnest  person,  who  believed  absolutely  she was  right;  yet
the Messenger  knew  instantly,  she was  being  deceived.
A number  of instances  of this  kind  have  occurred,  so I
prompt  you,  Dear  Ones  tonight,  don't  accept  those  things,
unless  some  very  Definite  Powerful  Proof  has been  given;
because  the sinister  force,  or that  which  We call the sinister
force,  which  is discordant  human  creation,  tries  to hold  its
reign  over  mankind.
In twenty-four  hours,  the Service  which  has  been  ren-
dered  your  city  here,  is delightful  beyond  words.  Thou-
sands  and  thousands  of discarnate  entities  have  been  taken DISCOURSE  VIII  147
from  your  city in twenty-four  hours!  You  have  no idea  how
mankind  is affected,  by the Individuals  who  cannot  leave
the Earth,  who  long  for association  with  human  Beings.
Remember  always,  the Mercy  of the Great  Law  which  has
made  possible  This  Service  for the Earth!  Do you  realize,
only  a few  years  ago,  This  Service  could  not have  been  ren-
dered;  because  enough  of the Free  Will  of the Individual
could  not be set aside,  until  the Great  Cosmic  Law  made  It
possible.
Do you  understand?  I feel  you  do not just  understand
what  We mean,  when  We speak  of the Great  Cosmic  Light.
It is an Activity  of the Law  of Life  for the Earth,  directed
by a Group  of Masters,  which  the  Messengers  refer  to as
the Great  Central  Sun.  That  Cosmic  Light  is projected  into
the Earth,  by These  Great  and  Mighty  Beings  Themselves;
a Consciously  Projected  Activity,  Dear  Ones!  It is not an
involuntary  activity,  when  We  refer  to the Great  Cosmic
Light;  but It is projected  by This  Group  of Cosmic  Beings
who  govern  This  System  of Planets.  In the seven  physical
planets,  to your  System,  it acts  as a "V"  shape,  and  your
Earth  is at the lowest  point.  You  came  down  this  side  (the
left side)  and  you go up this side,  (the  right  side)  You  came
down  here  consciously,  by turning  your  attention  away
from  your  own  "Mighty  I AM  Presence."  You  kept  lower-
ing and  lowering  the rate  of vibratory  action  by your  atten-
tion on things,  instead  of the Presence;  until  you  find  your-
self in your  present  state  of density.
Now,  you  will  begin  ascending  into  These  Planets  above 148 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
the Earth.  Venus  is your  next  one  above  the Earth  on the
upward  trend.  Therefore,  Beloved  Ones,  that  is why  Venus
and the Great  Kumaras  have  been  and  were  Those  who
of Their  Own  Volition,  offered  Their  Service  to the Earth.
They  offered  It to mankind  to whom  They  could  give  As-
sistance;  because  mankind  must  in its next  step,  go to the
Great  Ones  on Venus,  if the people  do not make  their  As-
cension  here  now.  I do not mean  in the next  embodiment,
but one  day  the Advance  of the Light  within  Individuals
impels  them  into  certain  localities.
Those  who  are  now  in the  Understanding  of their
"Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  making  the Call  for Assistance,
and decree  for their  Ascension  in this  embodiment,  can
have  Help.  Should  they  for any  reason  not accomplish  it,
they  will  carry  This  Exact  Knowledge  with  them;  when
they  have  thrown  off the body.  They  will  go into  the Octave
of Light  and  continue  their  Instruction  of the "Mighty  I
AM Presence."  When  they  come  back  into  embodiment
again,  they  will  bring  with  them  in childhood,  This  Full
Understanding  of the  "Mighty  I AM  Presence"  and  the
Application  of Its Laws.  They  will  then  make  the Ascen-
sion quickly  in the next  embodiment.
That  is the Far-reaching  Power  and  Understanding  of
your  Presence!  It is why  the Messengers  have  said  to you
and why  We  say to you:  "It cannot  fail in any  manner."
As the Messenger  has  said  to you  so often,  if you  will  do
but One  thing  in an emergency;  still  yourself  and  say:
"I AM,"  "I AM,"  "I AM,"  you  would  release  the Power DISCOURSE  VIII  149
of your  Presence  into  action!  Then  and  there,  when  you
utter  Those  Words  firmly  like  that,  It is Divinity  announc-
ing Its Power  and  Action  at your  point  in the  Universe,
where  It is expressed.  There  are no words  in the vocabulary
of any  language  which  touch  one  thousandth  part  the
Power  of Those  Two  Words—"I  AM."
That  is why  We  ask  all, please,  in all reference  to your
God-head  or to Divinity,  use  the  Words  "I AM"—or
"Mighty  I AM  Presence"!  Do not  go on using  your  old
terminology  or the things  which  you  have  known.  They  do
not carry  the  Same  Power  as the Words  "I AM"—your
"Mighty  I AM  Presence."  Think  of what  It means,  in the
vibratory  action,  to say:  "My  'Mighty  I AM  Presence.'"  Its
Power  is released  into  and  thru  your  body,  every  time  you
say that;  and  if you  say It with  Great  Firmness  and  Deter-
mination,  then  the Intensification  of your  Presence  and  Its
Energy  which  beats  your  Heart,  is released  into  and  thru
your  body  into  action.
There  is another  point,  I want  to refer  to tonight.  Beloved
Ones,  why  do not all have  the Clearness  of the vibratory  ac-
tion in the  brain,  which  gives  them  the  Clear  Direction
from  the Higher  Metnal  Body ? Because  of various  things
which  have  caused  the density  of the brain  structure;  until
it does  not vibrate  rapidly  enough,  to let the Direction  of
the Presence  come  thru.
Shall  I make  another  Very  Drastic  Statement  to you?
There  is not One

greater than what can be expressed just through sex or friendship. There’ s a
spiritual potenti al here waiting to be fulfilled. Enter into it. Find out what
you can gain from your marriage that goes beyond individual personality
and isolated need.”
I turned to Gail. “And the same is true for you. Make your motto one
word—courage. Love and tenderness are not powerless; patience and
tolerance can produce tremendo us change. Yet these energies have to be
used not in submissiveness or resignation but in passion.”A passion for life is a passion for completeness. This means, at the most
primal level, merging the male and female within oneself. The marriage of
Shiva and Shakti is about spiritual potential, nothing less.
In men this means the advent of tenderness, nurturing, and trust. Having
a woman supply these qualities is not enough. Male attributes of force and
violence have become grotesquely exaggerated in this world because men
leave the feminine energies to women. Aggression and violence will
become unnecessary as the shadow energies they disguise—fear and
impotence—come to the surface to be recognized and healed. Being
vulnerable will then be seen as a human quality, not a weakness  that makes
a man only half a man. Competi tion based on raging (and insecu re) ego will
diminish with healing, and the ability to cooperate will increase.
The worth of women in men’ s eyes will rise as men stop defining
themselves as the opposite of female. Spiritually, male is the complement of
female. Once this is accepted the awakening of male spirituality can come
about, since it takes an infusion of female energy before our bodies and
minds can totally merge with the silent field of pure awareness. By
welcoming Shakti a man can truly be Shiva.
For wom en the journey to wholeness is different, because it first entails
raising female qualities to full dignity with male. A woman must build up
her energies, so long forced into submission by society, whereas a man
typically has to diminish the dominance of his. In both instances what is
being achieved is balance. No one has ever claimed that the world had too
much affection,  tenderness, nurturing, intuition, and beauty— all female
spiritual qualities—while it is all too obvious that aggression, force,
struggle, and competition—exaggerated male qualities—have gone too far.
A woman needs to allow herself however much time it takes to use
Shakti energy to accomplish what has been reserved for the male ego.
Shakti energy runs in everyo ne, but women have been given their
femaleness to accentuate the difference between Shakti, which is subtle and
spiritual, and brute force. This dif ference can be summarized as follows:
Shakti understands. Instead of imposing, she communicates.
Shakti has patience. Instead of forcing an answer, she waits for spirit to produce one.
Shakti is tender. Instead of ignoring emotions, she uses emotion to tell when someone else is ready
to listen and act.
Shakti is peaceful. No situation ever requires force.
Shakti is creative. She creates answers where none were seen before.Shakti is wise. She considers the whole picture rather than a few parts; she takes the cosmic
perspective, which always comes from love.
I saw these very qualities being displayed in the way Gail appro ached her
husband’ s predicament. She had the ability to sympathize, to be patient, to
offer emotional support, to allow, and to be tender. These aren’ t just ways to
find a solution— they ar e the solution.
“If you were as kind to yourself as Gail is,” I said at the end of our
meeting, “if you wanted to understand yourself as much as she does, with as
much love and lack of ego, you would have solved your predicament
months ago. I hope you’ll be able to accept her perspective for the
cherished thing it really is.”
Jarret nodded, not quite able to say, “I’ll try,” because he was still too
stuck in his old ways to admit he might have been wrong. But I sensed that
he knew he was at a crossroads. Leaving defeat and bitterness behind would
be his way to open up to the new.
THE MARRIAGE OF  SHIVA AND  SHAKTI
Having already touched on the concept of a sacred marriage, now we can
expand that concept by looking  at the energies of Shiva and Shakti. It is
totally inadequate to call Shiva male and Shakti female, since these terms
limit God, who cannot be limited. Our minds are limited to seeing
masculine and feminine as polar  opposites, but Shiva and Shakti have been
married since before the dawn of creation. They are a divine whole that
chooses to express itself by taking on the appearance of being masculine
and feminine.
You and I do the same thing. Although my body may be male, my inner
self identifies with spirit as a whole, and therefore my soul must include
both Shiva and Shakti:
Shiva is silence. Shakti is power.
Shiva is creativity. Shakti is creation.
Shiva is love. Shakti is loving.
These qualities aren’ t opposites but complements, which is a perfect
description of a sacred marriage. Mature love consists of being able to see
yourself in your beloved and your beloved in yourself. To remain stuck ingender stereoty pes, to defend one’s maleness or femaleness, to aim
criticism at the other sex for causing problems—these are all betrayals of
marriage’ s sacred foundation.
A sacr ed marriage draws its passion fr om its inclusiveness. Passion for another person has to
fade, but passion for life itself is eternal.
When the two cosmic energies, Shiva and Shakti, are connected, the flow
of passion brings unlimited creative potential. The poles of silence and
power set up a tension between them, like the yearning felt between a man
and a woman that can only be satisfied by the exchange of love.  The current
that connects them is the creative force of the universe, which is
concentrated nowhere more than in you. You are the ground for this current
to flow, it needs  no one else. Only when Shiva and Shakti are married in
you will you be able to enter a sacred marriage with someone else.
Setting Shiva aside for the moment, since that energy is more abstract
than Shakti, let’s explore why Shakti is feminine. In our culture  a woman’ s
role has long been to serve as helpmate, mother, attendant, and supplicant,
not to wield power herself. Power in the Vedic sense, however, is always
creative, and creativity is always sexual. Out of a divine sexual act the
world was born;  therefore the feminine, as birth giver, is the natural vehicle
of power.
Shakti can be extremely viscera l and physical, as anyone who has ever
attended a birth knows. At the moment of delivery the whole room is
charged with a vibrant, raw energy that emanates directly from the mother,
and the appeara nce of the baby  is like nothing so much as the birth of the
world in miniature. Even though the fetus has been gestating, in the womb
for nine months, this sudden appearance of a fully formed human being is
miraculous. That is the concepti on of Shakti I hold in my mind —the force
that can create out of nothing.
Shakti can totally transform, melting away features of our inner
landscape and creating new ones in their place. Yogis report tingling energy
running up the spine in meditation (its esoteric name is Kundalini, one of
the thousand names of the divine mother). The presence of this ener gy gives
direct knowledge of God, perception of other worlds, and ecstatic fusionwith the divine. But if you aren’t a yogi or a mother in the delivery room,
what is the experience of Shakti like?
Shakti is the hidden power that turns matter into life. She is the divine
spark, the flow of God’ s love.
Anyone who is connected with spirit has Shakti, which manifests in five
ways that the God Herself manifests. (For the sake of simplicity I will use
the word God and apply feminine pronouns whenever I have the goddess
Shakti in mind.) As described in the ancient Shiva Sutras —“teaching about
Shiva”—these are the five powers:
Chitta Shakti:  the awareness of God
Ananda Shakti:  the bliss of God
Icha Shakti:  the desire or intention to unite with God
Gyana Shakti:  knowledge of God
Kriya Shakti:  action directed toward God
If the voice of God spoke to you, Her powers would be conveyed in simple,
universal phrases:
Chitta Shakti:  “I am.”
Ananda Shakti:  “I am blissful.”
Icha Shakti:  “I will” or “I intend.”
Gyana Shakti:  “I know.”
Kriya Shakti:  “I act.”
If a child came to me and asked, “How did God make me?” these five
things would be my answer, because this is how God made Herself, or at
least made Hers elf known to us,


. What -ever
you fear has its solution in the form of your desire. If you are sick, you
desire health. If you are in the prison of fear, you desire freedom.
Expect the good. Mentally con-centrate on the good, and know that
your subconscious mind answers you always. It never fails.
13. The things you fear do not really exist except as thoughts in your
mind. Thoughts are creative. This is why Job said; the thing I feared
has come upon me. Think good and good follows.
14. Look at your fears; hold them up to the light of reason. Learn t o
laugh at your fears. That is the best medicine.
15. Nothing can disturb you but your own thought. The sug-
gestions, statements, or threats of other persons have no power. The
power is within you, and when your thoughts are focused on that
which is good, then God’s power is with your thoughts of good. There
is only one Creative Power, and It moves as harmony. There ar e no
divisions  of quarrels in it. Its source is Love. This is why God’s
power is with your thoughts of good.

How to Stay Young in Spirit Forever
Your subconscious mind never grows old. It is timeless, ageless,
and endless. It is a part of the universal mind of God, which was  never
born, and it will never die.
Fatigue or old age cannot be predicated on any spiritual quality  or
power. Patience, kindness, veracity, humility, good will, peace,
harmony, and brotherly love are attributes and qualities, whic h never
grow old. If you continue to generate these qualities here on thi s plane
of life, you will always remain young in spirit.
I remember reading an article in one of our magazines some years
ago, which stated that a group of eminent medical men at the D e
Courcy Clinic, in Cincinnati, Ohio, reported that years alone are no t
responsible for bringing about degenerative disorders. These sa me
physicians stated that it is the fear of time, not time i tself, that has a
harmful aging effect on our minds and bodies, and that the neurotic
fear of the effects of time may well be the cause of premat ure aging.
During the many years of my public life, I have had oc-casion to
study the biographies of the famous men and women who have
continued their productive activities into the years well be yond the
normal span of  life.
Some of them achieve their greatness in old age. At the same  time,
it has been my privilege to meet and to know countless individual s of
no prominence who, in their lesser sphere, belonged to those hardy
mortals who have proved that old age of itself does not destroy t he
creative powers of the mind and body.
• He had grown old in his thought life
A few years ago I called on an old friend in London, Eng-land. He
was over 80 years of age, very ill, and obviously was yieldi ng to his
advancing years. Our conversation revealed his physical weaknes s, his
 210  sense of frustration, and a general deterioration almost approach ing
lifelessness. His cry was that he was useless and that no one wanted
him. With an expression of hopelessness he betrayed his false
philosophy, “We are born, grow up, become old, good for nothing,
and that’s the end.”
This mental attitude of futility and worthlessness was the chief
reason for his sickness. He was looking forward only to senesce nce,
and after that—nothing. Indeed, he had grown old in his thought life,
and his subconscious mind brought about all the evidence of his
habitual thinking.
• Age is the dawn of wisdom
Unfortunately, many people have the same attitude as this unhappy
man. They are afraid of what they term “old age,” the end, and
extinction, which really means that they are afraid of life. Yet, life is
endless. Age is not the flight of years, but the dawn of wisdom.
Wisdom is an awareness of the tremendous spiritual powers in your
subconscious mind and the knowledge of how to apply these powers
to lead a full and happy life. Get it out of your head once and for  all
that 65, 75, or 85 years of age is synonymous with the end for you or
anybody else. It can be the beginning of a glorious, fruitful, active,
and most productive life pattern, better than you have ever
experienced. Believe this, expect it, and your subconscious  will bring
it to pass.
• Welcome the change
Old age is not a tragic occurrence. What we call the aging process is
really change. It is to be welcomed joyfully and gladly as eac h phase
of human life is a step forward on the path, which has no end. Man
has powers, which transcend his bodily powers. He has senses, whi ch
transcend his five physical senses.
Scientists today are finding positive indisputable evidence that
something conscious in man can leave his present body and trave l
 211  thousands of miles to see, hear, touch, and speak to peo-ple even
though his physical body never leaves the couch on which it reclines.
Man’s life is spiritual and eternal. He need never grow old for  Life,
or God, cannot grow old. The Bible says that God is Life. Life is self-
renewing, eternal, indestructible, and is the reality of all men.
• Evidence for survival
The evidence gathered by the psychical research societies both in
Great Britain and America is overwhelming. You may go into any
large metropolitan library and get volumes on The Proceedings of the
Psychical Research Society based on findings of distinguished
scientists on survival following so-called death. You will find a
startling report on scientific experiments es-tablishing t he reality of
life after death in The Case for Psychic Survival by Hereward
Carrington, Directorof the American Psychical Institute.
• Life is
A woman asked Thomas Edison, the electrical wizard, “Mr. Edison,
what is electricity?”
He replied, “Madame, electricity is. Use it.”
Electricity is a name we give an invisible power which we  do not
fully comprehend, but we learn all we can about the principle o f
electricity and its uses. We use it in countless ways.
The scientist cannot see an electron with his eyes, yet he accepts it
as a scientific fact, because it is the only valid con-c lusion, which
coincides with his other experimental evidence. We cannot see  life.
However, we know we are alive. Life is, and we are here to e xpress it
in all its beauty and glory.
• Mind and spirit do not grow old
The Bible says, and this is life eternal, that they might know thee the
only true God. JOHN 17:3.
 212  The man who thinks or believes that the earthly cycle of bi rth,
adolescence, youth, maturity, and old age is all there is to life, is
indeed to be pitied. Such a man has no anchor, no hope, no vision, and
to him life has no meaning.
This type of belief brings frustration, stagnation, cynicism, a nd a
sense of hopelessness resulting in neurosis and mental aber-r ations of
all kinds. If you cannot play a fast game of tennis, or swim a s fast as
your son, or if your body has slowed down, or you walk with a slow
step, remember life is always clothing itself anew. What  men call
death is but a journey to a new city in another dimension of Life.
I say to men and women in my lectures that they should accept wha t
we call old age gracefully. Age has its’ own glory, beauty, and
wisdom, which belong to it. Peace, love, joy, beauty, happiness,
wisdom, good will, and understanding are qualities, which never gr ow
old or die.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, poet and philosopher, said, “We do not
count a man’s years until he has nothing else to count.”
Your character, the quality of your mind, your faith, and your
convictions are not subject to decay.
• You are as young as you think you are
I give public lectures in Caxton Hall, London, England, every few
years, and following one of these lectures, a surgeon said to me, “I am
84 years of age. I operate every morning, visit patients in  the
afternoons, and I write for medical and other scientific journals  in the
evening.”
His attitude was that he was as useful as he believed h im-self to be,
and that he was as young as his thoughts. He said to me, “It’s tr ue
what you said, ‘Man is as strong as he thinks he is, and as valua ble as
he thinks he is.’”
This surgeon has not surrendered to advancing years. He knows that
he is immortal. His final comment to me was, “If I should pass  on
 213  tomorrow, I would be operating on people in the next dimension, not
with a surgeon’s scalpel, but with mental and spiritual surgery.”

A 78 year -old man from Manitoba (Canada) phoned to ask if I would help him. I had previously helped some of his family
members. He had been bedridden two years with ulcerated legs, the ulcers oozing pus. He was scheduled to have his legs
amputated at the hips. I sent his daughter down with the equipment and supplements for the 7 -day cleanse, and he was faithful, and
redid it two weeks later. The result was excellent. The last I heard of him, he was jacking up his garage to move it so he could ha ve

W hile on any of the phases, eat no meat, dairy products, salt, sugar or foods with added sugar in them. Get into the
habit of  reading labels; this will help you know what you’re actually consuming. Have no fried food or foods cooked in oils.
Limit your oil intake to cold -pressed organic olive oil or flax seed oil. Honey, real maple syrup and date sugar sweeteners are
acceptable.  Eat all the fruit, salads and raw or cooked vegetables you want. Try to have at least one raw meal per day and
plenty of fresh vegetable juice and fresh fruit juice. Drink water as often as you like. It is a wonderful addition to the cl eansing
process.
Limit grains, beans, or potatoes to only once or twice a week and make sure to soak them overnight before you
lightly cook them. Millet, though an alkaline -forming food, should also be limited to once or twice a week.
Carrot Juice is a wonderful, nutrient -rich food choice —but it is high in sugar. Therefore, those who need to restrict
their sugar intake may need to dilute it with water or other vegetable Juices. Fruit Juices may also need to be diluted. You
can eliminate Juice entirely if you choose.
If you follow these suggestions, you’ll condition your body for cleansing in a gradual way and that may keep you from
feeling down, sluggish or toxic.

Denver, Colorado  DEDICATION

   WHAT more can be asked by any doctor or layman than
a philosophy of the cause of disease that gives a perfect
understanding of all the so -called diseases?

   To know cause  supplies even the layman with a
dependable knowledge of how to avoid building disease,
and how to cure. When people know how to avoid disease
they know an immunization that immunizes rationally.

   Dependable knowledge of what disease really is and its
cause is man’s salvation; and when it can be had with no
more effort than that required to read carefully and
understandingly Toxemia Explained, there is little excuse
for anyone, lay or professional, to live in ignorance of it.

   Knowledge is power. Kn owledge of how to have health
gives greatest power.

   Few people know anything about the cause of disease. To
them this book is dedicated and the freedom from medical
superstition it will bring them.

 PREFACE

   FROM time immemorial man has look ed for a savior;
and, when not looking for a savior, he is looking for a cure.
He believes in paternalism. He is looking to get something
for nothing, not knowing that the highest price we ever pay
for anything is to have it given to us.

   Instead of ac cepting salvation, it is better to deserve it.
Instead of buying, begging, or stealing, a cure, it is better to
stop building disease. Disease is of man’s own building,
and one worse thing than the stupidity of buying a cure is to
remain so ignorant as to believe in cures.

   The false theories of salvation and cures have built man
into a mental mendicant, when he should be the arbiter of
his own salvation, and certainly his own doctor, instead of
being a slave to a profession that has neither worked out its

own salvation from disease nor discovered a single cure in
all the age -long period of man’s existence on earth.

   We hear of diet cures, dietitians, balanced rations, meat
diets, vegetable diets, and other diets —chemically prepared
foods of all ki nds. The reading public is bewildered with hundreds of health magazines and thousands of health
ideas. There are thousands writing on health who would not
recognize it if they should meet it on the street.


. Her predominant motive in life is service. This selfless motive of service inspired her to take up a very hopeless case of muscular dystrophy. Her brother-in-law. Shri Jinendrakumar, fell victim to this disease. He remained imbecile for sometime and at last came to such a hopeless condition that doctors lost all hope for his life, and he was hardly to live a few days. In his condition, Kalavatiben took up his case and began Urine Therapy to cure him.  At that time, his limbs were benumbed, hands were shaking, and there was vomiting. He was quite lusterless, and he was reduced to a mere skeleton. The Urine Therapy was begun on March 17th, 1972 by Kalavatiben and her sister. They began rubbing 20 days' old urine for 5 hours till late in the night. A plethora of dirt began to be rubbed out as urine-massages went on. Massage treatment was carried out for 10 hours daily and 1 bottle was used for the purpose. In four days, there was seen some marked improvement, and so the patient agreed to drink his urine. He began drinking urine on March 20th, 1972. His rectum was cleared by urine enema. There was a cement-like excreta deposited in the rectum, so it was to be cleared by fingers in the beginning, and about one pound of excreta came out in this way. Enemas were given thereafter, and urine pads were placed on the stomach for one month. Light food was given in he beginning, and slowly, it's quantity was increased. In the first seven days, the patient's legs became free and he began to sit up in his bed. In 20 days, he began to stand, and in 1 month, he started walking with a stick. In four months, he was completely cured and began to go to his shop with a physique and health which he never enjoyed before. Can there be any better "instant cure" than this?”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn  MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY  Martha Pacheco { Olando, { Florida USA } "My name is Martha Pachecho and my testimony is about of my son that was born with Muscular Dystrophy. I started to give my own Urine to him since he was three years old. I gave him in his baby's bottle and I was taken it normally. In five weeks we started to prove good results for he was able to move his joints a little and every time he moves them a little more. It was possible for him to stand up for a few second but at least that is something."  Matha Pacheco Trimming, Florida U.S.A- Saturday, June 09, 2001  World-wide Case Histories of Urine Therapy by Gary Ward  148 MYOPIA  Olga Z. de Rodriguez { Mexico } "I have been diabetic for 13 years. Three weeks ago, I began fasting with Urine-therapy. Today I feel very improved. My dizziness has disappeared. Pains in my body, fatigue and a cyst that I had in my arm is now gone. My vision is recovering and now I can read without glasses.  I thank to God and the Urine therapy, and to the people who recommended it to me."  World-wide Case Histories of Urine Therapy by Gary Ward    ************************* N ************************* NASAL BLEEDING  “Raghava Panikar is 43, and he suffered from nose troubles for seven years. There was a burning sensation, and sometimes blood came out with a sticky substance from the nose. He used urine to cure his nose trouble and was completely cured by merely inhaling urine through his nose twice or three times a day. Raghava was soon completely cured.”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn  NEPHRITIS  “Shri Maheshkumar V. Joshi (Vile Parle West, Bombay 56) had nephritis for the last three years. He was treated by specialist and was given treatment in Harkishandas Hospital too but he was not cured. He started urine treatment on 1-2-60 and for 15 days drank all the urine for 1 1/2 hours daily for one full month. He fasted on urine for 4 days. There was swelling on the body and so he mixed urine with black clay and applied on the swelled parts. By such full treatment of urine, he cured himself completely.”  Manav Mootra by R.M. Patel  NEPHRITIS  149 “Shri Ambalal K. Patel, B.sc., L. L. B., is the store-superintendent in Ahmedabad Municipality. He applied urine therapy on his younger daughter who was a patient of nephritis and cured her.”  Manav Mootra by R.M. Patel  NEPHRITIS  “M.V. Joshi (Vile Parie West, Bombay 56) had nephritis for the last three years. He was treated by a specialist and was given treatment in Harkishandas Hospital also, but he was not cured. He started Urine Therapy of February 1st, 1960 and for 15 hours, drank all the urine he passed. He massaged his body with warm urine for 1 ½ hours daily for one full month. He fasted on urine for 4 days. There was swelling on the body so he used urine compresses applied to the swelled parts. By such full treatment of urine, he cured himself completely.”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John F. O'Quinn   NERVE DAMAGE  Maria L. of Orozco, Mexico. "Thanks to the urine therapy, I escaped surgery. The neurologist said I had an atrophied wrist ligament and I was pressing on the nerves. They were strong enough discomfort so I had already decided to surgery, thanks to God I'm fine.  I started urine therapy on the day January 31, 1996 and in less than two weeks I began to feel enough improvement. Also, in my right hand I had an allergy to detergent, which always caused irritated and cracked skin. All of this totally disappeared.  I also feel great on my nerves and makes me sleepy. Before this, it was difficult to get to sleep."  Testimonials of Patients Cured by Urine Therapy http://paraisodelasalud.org/testimonios.htm  NEUROPATHY  Ma. of the Refuge of Aldrete, Mexico  "I am 50 years old, was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, and later moved to Veracruz and had 5 children. From youth, I suffered from low blood pressure. There 150 were times it would be only as high as 60. It later rose and now it gets up to and 180 * 120.  In November of '94, I my feet started to go numb. Then the legs and it continued to spread over the whole body and then I couldn't move and the body was very swollen. I was in bed for almost a year. I was diagnosed with diabetic neuropathy, and I took drugs 8 to 10 tablets per day.  With much work and much pain, I was beginning to me. My sister came to my house in Veracruz with her husband and family. They gave me the news that God our Lord, through urine, was healing the sick and incurable. We invited another  diabetic brother who lives in Orizaba diabetic and they taught us all about urine therapy. Then I started the treatment, offering the sacrifice of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Then we decided to come to Guadalajara to listen to the conference in order to learn the treatment better and take it to Veracruz. During the 3 weeks of taking the urine, I was taking high blood pressure medicine and one day I felt so down I could not move. I stopped the medicine and the next day I was in perfect health. Before, whenever I stopped taking the medicine, an hour later I felt a tachycardia (fast, irregular heartbeat). Now I am without any medicine and in very good health.  With treatment, the swelling disappeared, I can walk on my own, since I only used to walk with the aid of someone or in a wheelchair; and nervous system would give me insomnia, now I feel very relaxed, I sleep well, thanks to God and the Urotherapy ".  Testimonials of Patients Cured by Urine Therapy http://paraisodelasalud.org/testimonios.htm  NUMBNESS OF HAND  “ A woman from Jadialaguru was forty-five. Her forehand used to become numb at night, such was her condition for 12 years. Slowly the numbness increased. On pressing the hand there was pain also. She could not get any benefit by doctor's treatment. So she started Urine Therapy in 1965. She fasted on urine for five days, and massaged her hands with urine. She felt complete relief, cured numbness of her hand, and is quite normal now.  ************************** O ************************** OBESITY  151 M.R. from Austin, TX, USA “I started urine therapy at the beginning of November, on my way back to London from Sydney, when I stepped off at Bangkok for one month. Week one I did water and urine only then I introduced small meals. All went really well and I lost weight, and felt great. By the time I got to London my friend said I looked 15 years younger. All in all I had increased my food intake by then, consumed the odd pint of Guiness and consumed all urine passed and still felt good.  I came to the USA on the


 military population in Canada. He required half his experimental group to chew thoroughly, and the other half  to
gulp things down as usual,. His study reports significant improvement in the overall health and performance of the group that
persistently chewed. Fletcher's report recommended that every mouthful be chewed 50 times for half a minute before being
swallowed. Try it, you might be very surprised at what a beneficial effect such a simple change in your approach to eating ca n
make. Not only will you have less intestinal gas, if overweight you will probably find yourself getting smaller because your blo od
sugar will elevate quicker as you are eating and thus your sense of hunger will go away sooner. If you are very thin and have
difficulty gaining weight you may find that the pounds go on easier because chewing well makes your body more capable of
actually assimilating the calories you are consuming.
     A logical conclusion from this data is that anything that would prevent or red uce chewing would be unhealthful. For example,
food eaten when too hot tends to be gulped down. The same tends to happen when food is seasoned with fresh Jalapeño or habane o
peppers. People with poor teeth should blend or mash starchy foods and then gum th em thoroughly to mix them with saliva. Keep
in mind that even so -called protein foods such as beans often contain large quantities of starches and the starch portion of protein
foods is also digested in the mouth.
    Once the food is in the stomach, it is  mixed with hydrochloric acid, secreted by the stomach itself, and pepsin, an enzyme.
Together these break proteins down into water -soluble amino acids. To accomplish this the stomach muscles agitate the food
continuously, somewhat like a washing machine. This extended churning forms a kind of ball in the stomach called a bolis.
    Many things can and frequently do go wrong at this stage of the digestive process. First, the stomach's very acid environment
inactivates pylatin, so any starch not converted t o sugar in the mouth does not get properly processed thereafter. And the most
dangerous misdigetion comes from the sad fact that cooked proteins are relatively indigestible no matter how strong the
constitution, no matter how concentrated the stomach acid or how many enzymes present. It is quite understandable to me that
people do not wish to accept this fact. After all, cooked proteins are so delicious, especially cooked red meats and the hard er, more
flavorful fishes.
    To appreciate this, consider how  those enzymes that digest proteins work. A protein molecule is a large, complex string of
amino acids, each linked to the next in a specific order. Suppose there are only six amino acids: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. So a particular
(imaginary) protein could be structured: 1, 4, 4, 6, 2, 3, 5, 4, 2, 3, 6, 1, 1, 2, 3, etc. Thus you should see that by combining a limited
number of amino acids there can be a virtually infinite number of proteins.
    But proteins are rarely water soluble. As I said a few paragraphs back, digestion consists of rendering insoluble foods into
water -soluble substances so they can pass into the blood stream and be used by the body's chemistry. To make them soluble,
enzymes break down the proteins, separating the individual amino acids one from the other, because amino acids are soluble.
Enzymes that digest proteins work as though they are mirror images of a particular amino acid. They fit against a particular amino
acid like a key fits into a lock. Then they break the bonds holding that amino acid to others in the protein chain, and then, what  I
find so miraculous about this process, the enzyme is capable of finding yet another amino acid to free, and then yet another.
    So with sufficient churning in an acid environment, with enough time (a few hours), and enough enzymes, all the recently eate n
proteins are decomposed into amino acids and these amino acids pass into the blood where the body recombines them into
structu res it wants to make. And we have health. But when protein chains are heated, the protein structures are altered into physica l
shapes that the enzymes can't "latch" on to. The perfect example of this is when an egg is fried. The eggwhite is albumen, a kind of
protein. When it is heated, it shrivels up and gets hard. While raw and liquid, it is easily digestable. When cooked, largely
indigestable.
    Stress also inhibits the churning action in the stomach so that otherwise digestible foods may not be mixed efficiently with
digestive enzymes. For all these reasons, undigested proteins may pass into the gut.
    Along with undigested starches. When starches convert best to sugars under the alkaline conditions found in the mouth. Once
they pass into the acid st omach starch digestion is not as efficient. If starches reach the small intestine they are fermented by
yeasts. The products of starch fermentation are only mildly toxic. The gases produced by yeast fermentations usually don't sm ell
particularly bad; bodie s that regularly contain starch fermentation usually don't smell particularly bad either. In otherwise healthy
people it can take many years of exposure to starch fermentation toxins to produce a life -threatening disease.
    But undigested proteins aren' t fermented by yeasts, they putrefy in the gut (are attacked by anaerobic bacteria). Many of the
waste products of anaerobic putrefaction are highly toxic and evil smelling; when these toxins are absorbed through the small  or
large intestines they are very  irritating to the mucous membranes, frequently contributing to or causing cancer of the colon. Protein
putrefaction may even cause psychotic symptoms in some individuals. Meat eaters often have a very unpleasant body odor even
when they are not releasing intestinal gasses.
    Adding a heavy toxic burden from misdigested foods to the normal toxic load a body already has to handle creates a myriad of
unpleasant symptoms, and greatly shortens life. But misdigestion also carries with it a double whammy; ferme nting and/or
putrefying foods immediately interfere with the functioning of another vital organ --the large intestine --and cause constipation.
    Most people don't know what the word constipation really means. Not being able to move one's bowels is only t he most
elementary type of constipation. A more accurate definition of constipation is "the retention of waste products in the large intestine
beyond the time that is conducive to health." Properly digested food is not sticky and exits the large intestine quickly. But
improperly digested food (or indigestible food) gradually coats the large intestine, making an ever -thicker lining that interferes
with the intestine's functioning. Far worse, this coating steadily putrefies, creating additional highly -potent toxins. Lining the colon
with undigested food can be compared to the mineral deposits filling in the inside of an old water pipe, gradually choking of f the
flow. In the colon, this deposit can become rock -hard, just like water pipe scale.
    Since the lar ge intestine is also an organ that removes moisture and water -soluble minerals from the food and moves them into
the blood stream, when the large intestine is lined with putrefying undigested food waste, the toxins of this putrefaction ar e also
steadily mo ved into the bloodstream and place an even greater burden on the liver and kidneys, accelerating their breakdown,
accelerating the aging process and contributing to a lot of interesting and unpleasant symptoms that keep doctors busy and
financially solvent. I'll have quite a bit more to say about colon cleansing later.

The Progress Of Disease: Irritation, Enervation, Toxemia
    Disease routinely lies at the end of a three -part chain that goes: irritation or sub -clinical malnutrition, enervation, toxemia.
Irritations are something the person does to themselves or something that happens around them. Stresses, in other words.
    Mental stressors include strong negative emotional states such as anger, fear, resentment, hopelessness, etc. Behind most
diseases  it is common to find a problematic mind churning in profound confusion, one generated by a character that avoids
responsibility. There may also be job stress or ongoing hostile relationships, often within the family.
    Indigestible foods and misdigesti on are also stressful irritations, as are mild recreational poisons such as "soft" drugs, tobacco
and alcohol. Opiates are somewhat more toxifying, primarily because they paralyze the gut and induce profound constipation.
Stimulants like cocaine and amphet amines are the most damaging recreational drugs ; these are highly toxic and rapidly shorten
life.
    Repeated irritations and/or malnutrition eventually produce enervation. The old -time hygienists defined enervation as a lack of
or decline in an unmeasur able phenomena, "nerve energy." They viewed the functioning of vital organs as being controlled by or
driven by nerve force, sometimes called life force or élan vital. Whatever this vital force actually is, it can be observed a nd
subjectively measured by c omparing one person with another. Some people are full of it and literally sparkle with overflowing
energy. Beings like this make everyone around them feel good because they somehow momentarily give energy

to be alive.
Dr. Kelley: "Rosswitha brought to my attention one of the things I  just take for
granted and should be a characteristic of all doctors — people who are really doctors.
She said, 'At last I  was speaking with a doctor who treated me like an intelligent
human being and was quite willing to discuss all the details of my illness.' That seems
to me to be the way it should be, but I  have to confess at this point that I  am the one
who benefits — a thousand times more than the patient does. Every single patient I
have had the privilege of working with and talking to taught me more than I  could
ever teach them. Patients have given to me more than I  could ever give to them. The
lessons that I've learned working with each one of them have been such a beautiful
experience that I  just can't go on and leave it unmentioned here.
"I find it really sad if the clinician can't learn from each patient. I  can't comprehend
the clinician having this phenomenal educational institution right in front of him and
not learning a great deal. Not only did I  learn a lot, but the people paid me to learn

and I  always felt a little guilty about that. I  learned so much that it looked to me that I
ought to be paying them. But I  wouldn't have been able to function if they hadn't
been paying me to be learning to do a better job each day. I  certainly appreciated it
and I  hope it has been a feeling of mutual gain on both of our parts.
"Rosswitha brings to mind a comparison of cancer with diabetes. Before Dr.

diabetes and would ask the doctor if it could be anything he was eating, and should
he change his diet in any way? And the doctor would say, 'Oh no, it doesn't make
any difference — eat anything you want, you aren't going to live much longer
anyhow, so just live it up and eat whatever you want.' Doctors couldn't connect the
diet and diabetes. Even lay people in those days figured out that if you ate a lot of
leafy green vegetables and reduced the amount of sugar that you took in, you
survived better and did well — better than the person who didn't watch his diet.
"And so it was that after the development of insulin, doctors figured out that there
is a factor in diet. In the early 1920s there weren't very good analytical facilities
available. But the doctors empirically found that the people who ate green leafy
vegetables, and a few other foods, survived diabetes much better and the sugar count
in their urine was much better. They had a saying in the medical community at that
time that leafy, green vegetables had 'natural insulin' in them. It wasn't actually the
truth, but they became aware of the fact that including these vegetables in the diet did
play a role and they were trying to explain it. We're in the same situation now with
cancer. Some day in the near future, it w ill dawn on the medical community that diet
makes quite a difference in people with cancer, and greatly affects health in general.
It can't happen too soon. When it does, a lot of lives w ill be lived more healthfully
and a lot of lives w ill be saved."
Pancreatic Cancer Testimonial
Donnella Z. ~ Amarillo, TX
8-Year Victory Over Pancreatic Cancer
The parents of the patient relate this testimony.
Female: age 27, no history of smoking, drinking or drugs; attack of hypoglycemia
between ages of 15-17.
November 1973 (when D was 20) was our first indication of a problem. D was
stricken with aches and pains and fever. A 3-day flu had been hitting our area with
similar symptoms so at this point we were not overly concerned. After several days of
unsuccessfully trying to keep her temperature down, we decided this was something
150
Winning The Cancer War
other than the flu. At the emergency receiving room of our hospital, chest X-rays,
blood tests and urinalysis failed to locate her problem. Her temperature range for a
24-hour period went from below normal to 106°F. We were referred to a M.D. who
specialized in internal medicine.
Thus began a nightmare that lasted many weeks. Testing for one week as an
outpatient ended in no answers. She was rapidly going downhill — weakened by the
many hospital trips. We were advised to admit her into the hospital for extensive
testing. Up to this point in our lives we had never even considered the fact that
anyone could be this sick and not have a physician give the reason. We feared in the
beginning a serious disease, but as time went on we would have welcomed anything
that would have been a concrete answer. Watching D dying with no apparent reason
left us quite helpless except for our faith in God. As time went on we found ourselves
doing more praying and less reaching out to Man for answers. We needed a miracle
and we had no doubt where that would come from.
Biopsies, scans, X-rays, bone marrow tests and blood taken every two hours
became our way of life for the next ten days. No answers. D losing ground. Six local
doctors and two consulting doctors from a larger city failed to find anything that
could be causing death.
By now D had lost 40 pounds, most of her hair had fallen out, her menstrual
periods had stopped, severe anemia and painful hot lumps traveled all over her body.
Massive doses of penicillin and streptomycin had caused a near total hearing loss.
She was dying from malnutrition.
The week before Christmas the doctor informed us that D had run out of time. The
only thing left was exploratory surgery. After questioning the doctor closely about her
chances of coming through the surgery and of their chances in finding the problem,
we decided to take her home. It was a big decision. If she was going to die, we
wanted her to be at home where her loved ones could be with her. No more tests and
definitely no hospital, we were leaving for home with a lung fungus medication
although all tests were negative.
Little did we know that this would be the turning point in our battle. Everything was
downhill from there out except for one minor incident.
We were on our own now but somehow had a strange feeling of relief. We had no
intention of just sitting and waiting; we could not just do nothing. We began with
Adelle Davis' anti-stress formula and large dosages of vitamin C — (the doctor had
refused to give D any vitamin C through the vein while in the hospital.) We had been
taking natural vitamins for several years and knew vitamin C would do no harm. As
we look back we know that this was God's way of letting us know we were finally on
151
Winning The Cancer War
the right track. Many people all over the USA were praying which resulted in two
tired weary people getting divine guidance directly from God daily.
Five days after the vitamin C was given, her temperature was normal. God in
simplicity, restored life to a dying body.
Our first visit to the doctor's office three weeks later found D improved in every
area, strong enough to walk, hair growing, appetite normal and gaining weight. The
doctor's face could not hide his disbelief. His associates came for a look-see too.
After we explained what we had done, he checked her records and gave all the credit
to the fungus medication. He was so sure and convincing, we made our first blunder
since leaving their hospital. We cut back on the vitamin C and concentrated on the
medication. Her temperature rose immediately. We were shook. After asking God's
forgiveness, we resumed with our vitamin C schedule, adding health-building foods
as fast as D could take them.
A searching time began as we looked for answers. D was returning to health as
rapidly as she went down, but what happened? Would it happen again? Did God
want us to go on searching for the answer or accept her healing and let it go at that.
God led our steps to the answer.
Because we were involved in a natural business, we had heard of Dr. Kelley.
Thinking he could help us with a proper balanced diet that would be scientific
instead of guesswork, we began to investigate the possibility of a visit. We had
exhausted our finances paying hospital and doctor fees, so back to earnest praying.
When we received a check from a friend in the amount that we needed for the trip,
we knew God had given us a green light.
In March our first visit to Dr. Kelley was made. We could not believe what took
place. Answers instead of questions. How refreshing! There was a problem: A
malignant tumor on her pancreas. It was still there. Wasn't God good to keep us
searching? (A medical doctor later confirmed the tumor.) Although we were saddened
by the nature of her problem, we were relieved to finally have an answer. We were
told when her problem started, how long it would take to clear it and a possible
reason for the problem beginning in the first place. The diet alone would have been
worth the trip, the rest we considered


 own behavior. Study the neurotic
dividends spelled out above. Then ask yourself why are you burden-
ing yourself with so many shoulds. Ask yourself if you really believe
in them, or if you’ve just become accustomed to behaving that way.
• List all of the rules you abide by, which just don’t seem to apply.
Those stupid conventional behaviors that you complain about, but
can’t seem to shed. Then, make your own “Rules of Conduct” that
make the greatest amount of sense to you. Write them down, even
if you don’t believe at this time that you are capable of living them
out.
• Start your own traditions. For example, if you’ve always decor-
ated your Christmas Tree on Christmas Eve, and you’d rather do it
three days before, begin a new Christmas tradition—one that makes
sense to you.
• Have a consultation with your relatives and friends about the
many rules of conduct you all follow which you find distasteful.
Perhaps you’ll be able to bring about some new rules which appear
to be more reasonable to everyone. You’ll discover that the old rules
are still in effect only because no one ever seriously thought to
challenge them in the past.
• Keep an internal/external journal. Write down your “external”
references in which you assign responsibility to others for how you
are feeling. See if you can shift yourself to the “internal” side with
some new acts of courage. Keep track of your success in moving
over to the internal side.
• See how many rules you impose on others. Ask them ifBREAKING THE BARRIER OF CONVENTION  / 159they really need those directives, or if they would behave in the
identical fashion without them. Perhaps you’ll even learn that they
could come up with more effective and flexible guidelines.
• Take a risk on challenging a rule or policy that you’d like to
eliminate. But be prepared to deal without hostility with the con-
sequences of your behavior. For example if you’ve always believed
that a woman shouldn’t ask a man for a date and you find yourself
without a date on a weekend, call up a man and see what happens.
Or, take back a defective garment even if the rule is no refunds, and
effectively challenge the policy, vowing to go to the top if necessary.
Don’t be guided by the policies of others which have you being a
victim as the final result.
• Think of decisions as having different consequences, rather than
as being right or wrong. In making decisions, eliminate the notion
of right and wrong and say either one is okay, and each will bring
about different consequences. Trust yourself to make the decision
rather than relying on some external kind of guarantee. Please
yourself instead of meeting an outside standard.
• Try to live in your present moments and make your rules and
shoulds apply only for that time. Rather than assuming them to be
universals, recognize them as applicable only at this moment.
• Refuse to share your rule-breaking behavior with anyone. It is
only for you, and you don’t want to get into an approval-seeking
posture, in which the reason for resisting enculturation is to win at-
tention and therefore adulation.
• Get rid of the roles that you (and others) are assuming in your
life. Be whatever you want to be, rather than what you think you
are supposed to be because you are a man, woman, middle-aged,
or whatever.
• Refuse for a given segment of a conversation to focus on others.
Practice in ever-increasing time periods not projecting blame, or
talking about another person, event, or idea in a complaining or
fault-finding manner.
• Stop waiting for others to change. Ask yourself why others160 / Your Erroneous Zonesshould be different simply because you would like it better if they
were. Recognize that every person has a right to be whatever they
choose, even if you irritate yourself about it.
• Come up with a blame list, wherein you detail everything about
yourself that you dislike. It can look something like this:
Who, What Is To Blame What I Dislike About Me and My Life
Sara Lee, metabolism, mother,
McDonalds, heredityI’m too fat……..
Parents, grandparents, God, ge-
netics, homework, Con-EdI have poor eyesight……..
Elementary teachers, sister, defi-
cient math genes, motherI’m lousy in mathematics….
Luck, all creeps at my school,
parents, I can’t wear makeupI have no boy/girl friends….
Genetics, God, mother I’m too tall……..
The economy, Dow-Jones, di-
vorce, my children hate me, ill-
nessI’m unhappy……..
Mother, genetics, luck, no early
nourishment, God, SatanMy breasts are too small……
Helena Rubenstein, heredity, girl
friend, the sunMy hair is the wrong color….
Presidents Ford, Nixon, Johnson,
etc., the Communists, humanityThe state of the world bugs me
The neighborhood, “Those kinds
of people,” zoning regulationsMy neighbors are bitchy……
The wind, the sun, the net is too
high/low, the distractions, my
cramps, my sore arm, leg, etc.My tennis outcome……..
My metabolism, my period, my
doctor, the food, the heat, the
cold, the wind, the rain, the pol-
len, You Name It.I don’t feel well……..BREAKING THE BARRIER OF CONVENTION  / 161Now add up your total blame score and see if you are any different
now that you have fault and blame appropriately doled out to all
of the precise people and things that are responsible for your feelings.
Isn’t that something? You are exactly the same. Whether you blame
or don’t, you stay as you are unless you do something constructive
to correct your dislikes. You can use this as an exercise in seeing the
futility of blaming.
• Announce out loud that you just blamed and that you are
working on eliminating this behavior. By stating it as a goal, you’ll
be mindful of your proclivities in this direction.
• Decide that any and all unhappiness that you choose will never
be the result of someone else, but rather that it will be the result of
you and your own behavior. Remind yourself constantly that any
externally caused unhappiness reinforces your own slavery, since
it assumes that you have no control over yourself or them, but they
have control over you.
• When someone is blaming, politely ask them, “Would you like
to know if I want to hear what you are telling me right now?” That
is, teach others not to use you as a blame receptacle and begin to
label other people’s blaming and fault-finding so that you get in
touch with recognizing it in yourself. You can label it with a nonof-
fensive treatment such as, “You just made George responsible for
how you feel. Do you really think it’s that way? Or, “You keep saying
that if only the market would go up, you’d be happier. You really
give it a lot of control over your life.” Your recognition of others’
blames and shoulds will help you to eliminate such behavior in
yourself.
• Refer back to the lists of shoulds discussed earlier in this chapter.
Try to substitute some new and different behavior for these old
habits—perhaps a late night dinner, or changing your sexual posi-
tion, or wearing what you like. Begin to trust yourself and give less
credence to those external musts.
• Remind yourself that what other people do is not what bothers
you, it’s your reaction to it. Instead of saying “They162 / Your Erroneous Zonesshouldn’t do that,” say, “I wonder why I bother myself with what
they are doing.”
Some Final Thoughts on Should Behavior
Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote in Literary Ethics  in 1838,
Men grind and grind in the mill of a truism, and nothing comes
out but what was put in. But the moment they desert the tradi-
tion for a spontaneous thought, then poetry, wit, hope, virtue,
learning anecdote, all flock to their aid.
What a beautiful thought. Stay with tradition and you ensure that
you’ll always be the same, but toss it aside, and the world is yours
to use as creatively as you choose.
Become your own judge of your conduct and learn to rely on
yourself to make present-moment decisions. Cease leafing through
a lifetime of policies and traditions for an answer. Sing your own
song of happiness in any way that you choose, oblivious to how it
is supposed to be.BREAKING THE BARRIER OF CONVENTION  / 163VIII
THE JUSTICE TRAP
If the world were so organized that everything had to be fair, no living
creature could survive for a day. The birds would be forbidden to eat
worms, and everyone’s self-interest would have to be served.
W e are conditioned to look for justice in life and when it doesn’t
appear, we tend to feel anger, anxiety or frustration. Actually, it
would be equally productive to search for the fountain of youth, or
some such myth. Justice does not exist. It never has, and it never
will. The world is simply not put together that way. Robins eat
worms. That’s not fair to the worms. Spiders eat flies. That’s not fair
to the flies. Cougars kill coyotes. Coyotes kill bad

Western medicine are being uprotted. And indeed when the
impurities got discharged he was free from all ailment. He broke
his fast on the 15th day and after a couple of months he was
restored to normal health and vigour.
Asthma and Cough : Shri Niranjan Dev Jain (Former Tera
follower Sadhu Nathmalji Charbhuja), jainendra Gurukul, Panch
Kula (Hariana) manages the kithen in the ashram. He narrated on
29-11-1976 how he was relived of the suffering:
"I iJm sixty now. In 1962 I was down with asthma and cough.
My o}nplaint was so acute that others sleeping in the vicinity could
hardly have a wink_ Everyday about 200 gm phlegm was thrown
out. Cough would result in chest pain and nights would bring further
aggravation. Allopa~hy and Ayurveda were of no avail to me.
213 214 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY
In Bihar, 1 yielded to Shri Chaturbhai Patel•s persuasion and
accepted auto-urine therapy. People had given me up as living on
borrowed time. I started intake of urine four or five times daily. I did
not use it in massage nor did I fast. Of course oils, chillies and sour
things 1 avoided. I took some sugar and rice with milk. In the first
month 1 could register almost one-third pro~ess in the direction of
recovery. This strengthened my courage and. faith. By the end of
another couple of months I was fully healthy and normal. Now the
body is so strong that it can never remind anyone of the miserable
days of old terrible sufferings. For the last 13 years I take urine
twice· before bedtime which moves bowels and I have motion:; in
the morning without any difficulty...
Hereditary Complaint of Asthma : I happened to meet Shri
Chhaganbhai solanki at Gramodyog Mandir, Pendak,. Rajko~ on
17-2-1977. He works in the leather workshop, there for the last
several years. He is 60. He incidentally disclosed to me that he had
been suffering from hereditary asthma from his boyhood. During
' winter his complaint would take severe turn. He was a chain-smoker
and even ate tobacco.
Some ten years ago at my instance he gave up tobacco and
started taking his urine daily twiice or thrice. Within six or seven
months his asthma took his leave.

CANCER OF TttE UTERUS
Kaviraj Ramswarup Kaushik reports:
Mrs. Surjit Kaur of longodeva (Jeera, Dist. Ferozpur, Punjab), 33
years of age, was given up as · hopeless case of cancer by the
ludhiana physicians. Then she, accompanying her father, came to
me on 3-3-1974. After examining her thoroughly, I told her, •If you
undergo the treatment with faith and patience you will be all CANCER OF THE UTERUS : 215
right.• I put her on fruit-juice, prescribed auto-urine drinking daily
thri~e and urine massage for an hour every day. She was restored to
full,, health within three months• treatment.
In the Jeera region the lady doctors had planted loops in several
women ·under the family planning campaingn. Several of them
complained of discharge from their uterus. This resulted in several
cases into cancer of the uterus while some also developed tumours.
They were experiencing paid; movements became restricted; there
was foul stench from inside. I got their loops removed. They were
adminstered their own urine by changing its.colour. The douche
was also given with.the same. This continued for a month. Four
cases were completely successful. The discharge also stopped.
Cancer of the Liver : Mrs. Champa Devi is a widow of Jeera. She
is 57. She came to me on 11-5-1974, suffering from tumour of the
liver,· diabetes and blood pressure. A thorough check-up-revealed
that her liver was assailed by cancer. She had undergone treatment
at the Rajendra Hospital, Patiala for five months. She was dischaged
by the doctors as a case beyond medical cure. She was relieved of
all her complaints after a couple of months of regular auto-urine
treatment. Her eyes that were y~llowish and swollen due to the
disease. came to their normal state by washing with urine. She is
now completely cured.
Cancer.of the Vagina: Mrs. Mayadevi is wife of lala Tirtha
Ram, aged 35. Tirth Ram has opened a big hospital in Moga
(Punjab). It was inaugurated by Sathya Sai Baba.
Mayadevi was having pain in the abdomen. Doctors ascribed it
to complications in her rnenstruation. Treatment by them only
aggravated her condition. On taking an X-ray print it was found that
her vagina was infected. When she was operated upon at the
Mission Hospital a.t ludhiana it was found that she had cancer of
the vagina and her life was in danger. She was therefor brought back
to her own hospital. · ·

DISEASES OF THE INTESTINE
1. Sluggish Intestine : Shri Bhojraj Sancheti stays in Momasar
(Dist. Churu, Rajasthan). He is 58. For· the last 15 years the meals in
his home have been cooked bland -with~!)t chillies, ·spices and
beverages like tea and coffee have been given up. He has been
doing social service and welfare work for the last decade. Hundreds
of patients have been benefited by his nature cure treatment and
urine therapy based on his own experience and have been relieved
of their complaints and are leading healthy and useful lives. He
narrated his findings of the urine therapy on January 11, 1977, as
follows:
11At the age of 47 my digestive system became weak and the
intestine almost stopped working. Any amount of the customary
treatment would not bring any relief. In these days of desperation· my
attention turned to yoga. Yogic practices gave me much relief and
so my faith in them grew stronger.
Resolved to effect complete cure, I submitted myself to the
treatment of Dr. Ravindra Chaudhary of Ranipabia, Dist. Pu.rnea
(Bihar) and thus 1 was initiated in the nature cure therapy. By the
almost three-and-a-half-month treatment I derived rnany benefits ·but
could not be said to have restored completely to health. This was the
period when 1 had the' opportunity to make a regular study of nature
cure.
·In 1970, 1 had occasion to visit Bombay. There by the Jain monks
and other 1 was introduced to the urine therapy and developed a
desire to apply it in my own case. On returning to clacutta I read
twice the book Arogyaka amuly Sadhan -Swamutra (The Priceless
Panacea for Health -Auto-urine) and that led to a firm faith in this
therapy and I resolved to bring it into practice. I was then a victim
of influenza and it was raging. About four-five days1 auto-urine

treatment drove away the fever. When I returned to Momasar I was
caught by typhoid.Which was driven by 21-day auto-urine regime. · ·
..'1; :S~..
The experience Lgather~. during these days of suffering formed
the basis of my application. This invaluable and simple remedy in
hundreds of cases of various aHments which invariably resulted in
complete cure and restoration of health and had I kept a record of
these cases it would have run into useful and welcome book of
reference to the.public. I can vouchsafe on my experience of
hundreds of cases that during their treatment there neverwas any
untoward effect or harmful reaction as a result of this treatment.
All other medication, both indigenous and foreign has been
banished from my home and ·members of my family are invariable
profited bythis therapy.1

DISEASES OF KIDNEYS
1. Diabetes and Heart Diseases : Shri Ghanshyam Keshav Vyas,
65, is former teacher in the prestigious educational institution
Shai"da Mandir. Medical examination revealed that he had blood
sugar, blood pressure; enlarged heart which had affected his
kindneys and the lungs and limbs had swellings. He had recourse to

no avail.

able,
though the treatment  takes longer.
Rheumatic  fever followed  by influenza.  Female patient, 16 stone,
though not a big eater,  having lost two stone before I visited  her.
Heavily constipated,  suffering from  insomnia and  worry. Bedfast with
swollen  hips, feet, ankles and  abdomen.  Fasted  a week on urine and
plain water,  was  well  rubbed  every day according  to my usual method.
Complete  cure  in a month, and back at her occupation.
Pyorrhoea. Patient was in the habit  of visiting his dentist  every six
months. Dentist  informed  him that  he was suffering from pyorrhoea.
Having heard of urinetherapy,  without telling his dentist, he took half  a 84
 pint  of his urine every morning and also urine as a mouth‐ wash. In nine
weeks his trouble had completely  disappeared,  much to the surprise. of
his dentist, who wished to know  what had  caused such a marked
improvement  in his general health as to cure  pyorrhoea.  This cure  was
effected even without  a fast. (Case reported by a friend).
The notion  that pyorrhoea  is a local  disease for which  one must  have all
the teeth extracted  is a fallacy.  There  is no such thing as a local  disease;
there  are only localised  symptoms.  Cleanse the body of its impurities  by
a fast on urine and plain water,  and pyorrhoea  vanishes automatically.  I
have observed  this  in numerous  cases ‐in fact, in all cases I have ever
treated. As for myself, I never require to visit a dentist; a well‐ balanced
diet and urine‐therapy  have preserved  my teeth.
Obesity. Married lady, aged 30, weighed 12 stone Lived on the usual ill6
lbs. Had  no children, balanced diet, but was not a glutton, masticated
her food, and drank only water,  after or between meals.  Previously  she
had  tried  various diets without  effect, and  had  tried fasting on plain
water only, but with the result that as soon  as she resumed eating she
put  on weight even more rapidly than prior  to the fast. Finally, she
consulted  me. I advised a urine plus  plain water fast with daily rubbings,
and  at the end of 14 days her weight dropped  to 10 stone.  I then
revised her diet, put her on to a wellbalanced  regime,  and  suggested
two meals a day only.  By dint  of living in this way and  taking her own
urine daily, her weight has remained  about 10 stone, and  although she
is now past 50, she looks  about 33.
With many people obesity does not arise from  overi ndulgence  at the
table, but from badly functioning  glands caused by toxins and  a 85
 deficiency  of the required elements  which  should be derived from non‐
processed  foods. The fast  cleanses the blood  tissues, and  the intake of
urine brings back normality  to the disordered  glands. I have
conclusively  proved this by the large  number  of cases of obesity I have
treated, or where obesity has been present among other symptoms.
Prostate Troubles. Enlargement  of the prostate is a term referring to an
affliction often  to be met with in elderly  men.  "The most  prominent
symptom  is an irritability  of the bladder and  a pro ressive incapacity  to
empty it. The prostate gland  undergoes  a considerable  increase in size,
and by pressing on the neck of the bladder forms an obstruction  to the
outflow of urine from that  organ..." (See  E. H. Ruddock,  M.D.  Vade
Mecum.)
Case of prostate trouble in its incipient  stage. Old gentleman  began to
have difficulty in voiding his urine. Was advised by a friend to try taking
half a pint of his own water every morning on rising; this to be followed
at the usual time by a light breakfast  instead of the customary  full meal.
Result: in one month  after starting the treatment  he was rid of his
trouble.
Bronchial  Asthma. Miss C. Doctor had  diagnosed  the case  as bronchial
catarrh; the victim  said to be in the early  stages of T.B.  General health
very poor.  Breathing  difficult. Victim had  to resort to palliatives  to
obtain ease and  short  periods of much needed sleep. Felt  very weak
and debilitated.  Heard of urine‐therapy. Fasted  for a fortnight  on urine,
but  without the rubbings.  In three  days the improvement  was so
marked *hat she was able to breathe freely  and  sleep each nignt  for
several hours  on end.  Broke fast, took two  meals a day only, and 86
 continued  the intake of urine. But the fast had  not been sufficiently
long to eradicate  the trouble and  her symptoms  returned.  She then
wrote  to me for advice. I told her that she had  not broken the fast
correctly,  advised  further  fasts  to be attended with the rubbings,  and
gave her a diet to be followed between the fasts. The final result was a
complete  cure,  and  the patient has remained  in excellent health. She
continues  ' to take her own urine daily, and from time to time resorts to
short  fasts, with the result that she feels better than she has ever done.
