MODULE 3.1
Carbohydrates and Sugars and their Metabolism

In Chapter Two we learned that a cell is like a self-sustaining city, but that it
basically requires two outside factors. First, it needs an energy source. Just as
our car needs fuel, so do our cells. Secondly, they must be able to eliminate
the byproducts of these burned fuels. These by-products must be carried
away from the cells, much like the plumbing and septic systems work in your
house.
Carbohydrates refer to a group of chemical substances made up of
carbon, oxygen and hydrogen (carbon and water). They include starches,
sugars, glycogen, dextrins and celluloses. Carbohydrates are classified or
grouped by the number of carbon atoms they contain and by the
combinations of sugars. Since organic carbon compounds supply the main
energy source for cells, these carbohydrates are used by your body for its
primary energy supply.
All green plants use the sun’s energy (photosynthesis) to combine carbon
dioxide and water to form carbohydrates. Cellulose, the chief constituent of
the cell walls of plants, is a type of carbohydrate. When consumed by
humans, cellulose acts as an intestinal broom and energizer to the cells of the
intestinal walls.
SUGARS

A sugar is a carbohydrate belonging to the sac-charide family. Simple sugars
(also called monosaccarides) are the main fuels for your body. Sugars are as
essential to your body as gasoline is to your automobile. It helps run your
machine (your body) via the cells. However, there are several important
distinctions to understand about sugars.
Glucose (simple sugar) and its initial compounds, such as starch and
cellulose, make up the most abundant organic chemical compounds on earth.
Since your body can only use substances in their simplest forms, all complex
sugars (di- and polysaccharides) must first be broken down into simple
sugars (monosaccharides). This is one aspect of the process of digestion.After digestion breaks down complex sugars to glucose, this glucose is
then absorbed into the blood from the intestinal tract. Glucose is then
transported to cells where it is reduced to carbon and is oxidized for energy
and heat. Part of this carbon is stored for future energy needs (the way a
battery stores energy). Some excess carbon, which is not used, is stored as
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) or converted to fat and/or stored as glycogen.
Glycogen is stored mainly in the liver and muscle tissue, but can also be
stored in many other places. When the body is deprived of glucose or
fructose, it will start to use its glycogen reserves. Glycogen is then converted
back into glucose. Remember that the body
must
 have a fuel source, as does
your car.
When refined or complex sugars (several glucose and fructose
complexes bonded together) are consumed, this creates a glucose overload,
which in turn creates excess carbon molecules. This excess carbon is
converted into carbon dioxide and carbonic acid. Carbon dioxide is
eliminated via lungs, kidneys and skin. Carbonic acid requires oxidation or
transmutation via oxygen or mineral salts, respectively. Both of these
substances are acid-forming and must be neutralized and removed by the
body, as they are strong contributors to acidosis.
Sugar (glucose) overload is common in our society. We consume a great
deal of refined and complex carbohydrates and sugars. This keeps a high
demand upon the pancreas to produce insulin, and upon the liver and kidneys
to convert or eliminate the excess. Add to this excess the problems created by
protein and fat consumption and you can begin to form a picture of why
people today have so many health problems.
Raw fruits and vegetables are balanced in their simple sugars, amino
acids and fatty acids. This is another reason that I call them “God-foods”
designed for humans.
The Danger of High-Protein Diets
Some substances are not fuel sources, but are building materials. Proteins, for
example, are non-fuel substances that are used by the body as building
materials, as immune factors, as catalysts or carriers, etc. Just as the body
must convert a carbohydrate into a simple sugar before it can be utilized, all
proteins must first be broken down into amino acids before the body can use
them to build and repair itself; in much the same way that a carpenter would
use two-by-fours or two-by-sixes in building or repairing a structure.
However, if the body needs to, it will convert amino acids to glucose.The grave mistake made by many who want to lose weight is in making the
body burn protein for fuel. When the body is deprived of sugars, it will go to
stored fat or break down its own tissues for energy. This leads to muscle,
liver, pancreatic and kidney damage.
In
Chapter 4
 we will discuss the “Protein Myth” more thoroughly.

Most artificial sweeteners have been linked to cancer. Nutrasweet® or
aspartame is an example of an artificial sugar. Aspartame is a neuro-toxin that
breaks down into formaldehyde, and Americans use over 7000 tons of this a
year.
It is a myth that natural, simple sugars “feed” (i.e., encourage) cancer.
Quite the contrary. Simple sugars strengthen and energize cells, which is a
must
 in successful cancer treatment, as cancer cells are normal cells that have
lost their vitality and health through acidosis. Remember, a simple sugar
(glucose in particular) is the proper fuel for cells. Protein and fats should
never be used for fuel unless it is absolutely necessary, because cellular
damage can result.
Fructose is the highest energetic form of a monosaccharide or simple
sugar. Neurons (nerve cells) especially attract fructose molecules. Fructose
enters a cell through diffusion instead of via active transport, which its
counterpart glucose uses. Diffusion saves energy for the body and cells.
Any activity requires energy, including the activity of transporting
nutrients across cell walls. Most nutrients also require a helper or carrier to
assist in this movement through the cell wall into the cell. As ATP (adenosine
triphosphate) is a cell’s stored energy, it is used in active transport (the
assisted transportation of nutrients across cell membrane walls). Glucose
needs insulin to a certain degree as a “utilization hormone” for this active
transport. Fructose, on the other hand, requires no ATP or insulin and is
simply pulled or absorbed through the cell wall by diffusion.
For diabetics, fructose is perfect, especially if they remove complex
sugars from their diets. Complex sugars create excessive glucose levels in the
blood, which then creates more insulin demand.
Raw fruits and vegetables are always your best sources of simple sugars.
This is one reason why your body becomes stronger and more
energetic on
these foods. Foods high in protein and low in sugars, or foods high in
complex-sugars, rob your body of vital energy, create acidosis and elevate
blood sugars.
Simple sugars also aid alkalization of the tissues, which is vital for tissue
regeneration and vitality. As stated, fructose is the highest electrical sugar in
nature and is superb for brain and nerve regeneration.
 COMPLEX SUGARS

Complex sugars are of two types—polysaccha-rides and disaccharides.
POLYSACCHARIDES
 — A chain or series of linked monosaccharides or
disaccharides. They can consist of a few or many saccharide bonds.
Polysaccharides, when hydro lyzed, yield over twenty monosaccharides.
Polysaccharides include two groups, starch and cellulose.
Starch:
 starch, glycogen, dextrin, insulin
Cellulose:
 cellulose, hemicelluloses (pento-saniek)

 you don’t always have time to  clean a dirty wound; so I flush them out first
to cleanse them, then apply the cayenne ( cleanse formula  is in the chapter on slippery elm).”
MAJOR BENEFIT OF CAYENNE: Stops Bleeding (internal or external), Heart Attack, Stroke, or
Shock. Dissolves clots.
MINOR BENEFIT: Reviving, Fainting, Dizziness, Weakn ess, Confusion
Important Note: When in doubt as to what herb to us e, alternate cayenne and lobelia with one-
half hour in between, if possible.
EMERGENCY INTERNAL DOSAGE for CAYENNE TINCTURE: 1-10 Dropperfuls. Heart attacks:
start at 5 dropperfuls. Begin with 2 dropperfuls if  the person is unconscious, then add more as
response begins. (A dropperful is approx. 30 drops. ) One man was stone-cold and slate blue
from lack of oxygen due to a heart attack, and I us ed 12 dropperfuls to revive him.
Use tincture liberally on a wound to stop bleeding.  The tincture is best for flushing a wound
and the alcohol is a disinfectant, but the powder w orks also. Just pack it in.
For hemorrhage after childbirth, squirt 15-20 dropp erfuls directly into the vagina. The bleeding
will stop in seconds. I have used cayenne tincture on newborn babies to save their lives when
they were going into respiratory failure. I used se veral drops of strong cayenne tincture diluted
half and half with water right on their mouth, lips  or tongues. Also, get some warm water with
a little cayenne in it and you can massage this wat er around the baby. It really brings them
around.
EMERGENCY INTERNAL DOSAGE for CAYENNE POWDER:  1 heaping tablespoon in a glass of
warm water. With one woman who have severe congesti ve heart failure, I put her on one
teaspoon of super-hot cayenne powder every hour.  INTERNAL MAINTENANCE DOSE for CAYENNE TINCTURE: Start with 5 drops in water or juice 3
times daily. Go up to as many dropperfuls as you li ke.
INTERNAL MAINTENANCE DOSE for CAYENNE POWDER: Start with 1/8 teaspoon 3 times daily,
and go up if needed to 12-16 teaspoons per day.
SECOND CHOICE for CIRCULATORY STIMULANT: Ginger roo t. (fresh root is best. Get from
grocery store).
DR. SCHULZE’S SPECIAL CAYENNE BLEND FORUMLA:  Habanero Red and Orange 40%, Red
Savina 20%, African Bird Peppers 10%, Thai Red 10%,  Jalapeno Red 10% and Cayenne 10%.
Special Notes: Cayenne is heat rated in 1-500,000 s coville heat units. Hotter means more
phytochemical, which means more medicinal effect. S o always get the hottest peppers you can
find. Habanero, African Bird, Serrano, Jalapeno, Ca yenne.
WHEN PEOPLE DROP FROM STROKES
Many patients will come out of a stroke right away by immediately giving them cayenne
pepper. Use a heaping teaspoonful in a glass of warm water or ten dropperfuls of tincture.
A man got out of his car and became dizzy with blur riness in the center of vision in his right
eye. As time progressed, the blurriness got larger.  He felt he must be having a stroke. He
calmly held his wife’s arm and walked to house, wen t into kitchen and took a dose of Brain
Tonic. In a matter of seconds, maybe 10, t he blurr ed area got smaller and moved off to the
right, then disappeared. He’s had no problems since.
Another man who’d had a stroke and corroded artery operation, plus a quadruple bypass had
terrible speaking problems. He started the Supertonic (Formula: 5 peppers – 2 Jalapena, 1
Green, 1 Habineros; ¾ cup ginger root sliced; 50-60  cloves garlic; 2 small onions; 1 horseradish
root – place all ingredients in blender, cover to t op of ingredients with organic Apple Cider
Vinegar, blend. Make this on new moon and store in cold/dark place, shaking daily until full
moon). He began taking it and in a little over two months, his neighbors started commenting on
a big improvement in his speech.
NUMBER ONE FIRST AID HERB
According to Dr. Schulze, cayenne pepper is without  a doubt the number one first aid herb.
Whenever you have a problem with blood -- be it blo od loss, disease, clots, or even stoppage –
cayenne is the herb of choice. When you think of bl ood, in any situation, use cayenne. There is
no herb that stops bleeding faster than cayenne – f rom cuts to internal hemorrhaging. For deep
lacerations, I flush out the wound with what I call  an anti-infection tincture  which has
cayenne in it (the formula is in the chapter on sli ppery elm). It not only begins to stop the
bleeding, but it cleans, disinfects, and even seals  the wound. Then, just pack cayenne powder
into the wound. It doesn’t burn. On open fresh woun ds, there is so much trauma already, you
don’t feel a thing. Cayenne stops the bleeding imme diately and the high amount of vitamin A
and vitamin C in cayenne also clean and disinfect. Plus with any injury, remember to take
cayenne internally.
Schulze has had people almost cut the ends of a fin ger off where it is just hanging. He’s glued
them back on just using cayenne, wrapped gauze arou nd it and in 3 or 4 days, it’s all totally
stitched back together – many times with no scar.  Cayenne is an herb everyone should have in tincture  form, in powder, and in oil form, in the
kitchen, the bathroom, and glove compartment of you r car, so you have it wherever you go.
Cayenne pepper can save your life before a heart at tack makes you brain dead. If you have a
heart attack, and your heart has stopped and it tak es 3 minutes to get 911, and 2 minutes for
the car to get there, well that’s 5 minutes – and i n 5 minutes your brain is dead. Cayenne
should be in every emergency room in the country. B ut doctors won’t use it. They won’t use
anything simple.
Schulze: “Let me tell you about a recent case that s hows just how blocked
these medical people are. We had a baby case last w eek, and the doctors were
saying it was testing positive for Hirschburn’s Dis ease. The infant had no nerve
impulses to the bowel. The doctors said that as soo n as it was strong enough,
they needed to do a bowel surgery and cut out a lot  of its colon, and just
bypass it because the colon was dead. They said it will get gangrene and the
baby’s colon wouldn’t work. I talked to the parents  on the phone, because
they were a friend of a patient. I knew who they we re. I told them about an
herbal formula, but they didn’t have time to get it. I said, in the meantime,
give the baby some water and prune juice, and make the prune juice yourself.
I talked to them a couple of days later, and the in fant’s bowel was working
fine. The prune juice did it. I thought to myself: ‘How far has medicine gotten
down their dead end trail to where they will sugges t that a month-old baby
have a massive bowel surgery before the parents try  prune juice??? Do you
know what I mean? What the heck is going on with th ese people? I mean, how
did they get so ignorant of hot water bottles and p rune juice, and cayenne and
things like that?’”
Sam Biser: Cayenne pepper! That should be a part of  American Red Cross procedures. Schulze:
It should be! After going through this case with th at baby, how can these people sleep with
themselves???? The point of the story is: take care  of yourself and your loved ones. Don’t go to
dreamland, and think the medical system will save y ou. It might, or you might float down the
river to death because they won’t ever use cayenne and other simple things.
Heart Attack/Angina Pectoris --  Immediately Consume Cayenne Tincture
Conscious: 5-10 dropperfuls directly in the mouth. Sit/lay pat ient down, loosen clothing.
Unconscious: 1-2 dropperfuls directly in the mouth. Check for pu lse and breathing.
Immediately begin C.P.R.
In 5 Minutes: Repeat cayenne dosage in 5 minutes,


detoxification program and that you tell your dentist to apply a lot of suction during  the
removal process, reducing the concentration of mercury vapors.

Note, that it may take a considerable amount of time for your body to neutralize and
excrete the mercury that has accumulated in your body for years.

  43  Some Unusual effects of detoxification

Your mind-body system remembers every damage you did to it in the days gone by. If
some healing in the past has not been perfect, because of other emergencies in your
body (and mind), some of the damage remains un repaired.

When you purify your body and mind, resources within your body become available
enabling repairs which are long overdue.

The effect of this can be quite amazing. Many people on various detoxification
programs (oxygen therapies, fasting) observe symptoms of their past diseases i n quick
succession and in reverse order. Basically, you can expect to re-live every s erious
disease you experienced in the past. Don’t be frightened. This is  healing. Your body is
just fixing things which are long overdue. Symptoms are usually very mild, and they
last only an hour or two. Many active people do not even notice such symptoms,
because they are so mild.

I would like to give you just one example drawn from my own personal experience. At
the age of 7 I had a severe ear infection, which was very painful, took a long time to
heal and doctors injects me with lots of antibiotics. At the age of 42, during fasting I
experienced the symptoms of this disease, accurate in every minute detail. I  was
astonished, because the situation was restored so perfectly, that I remembe red not only
my feelings from childhood but also the taste and even the smell of the antibiotics  I
took at that time. The experience lasted only for a few hours.

  44  Diet- minimizing the intake of toxins

We have discovered the ultimate reason for all diseases : poisoning of our body beyond
its capacity to purify itself.

Nearly 100% of such poisoning comes from our diet. We basically poison ourselves,
simply because we do not care about what we eat.

In the view of above, our diet required a basic revision.

The wisdom of many ancient civilizations in the past was expressed in their diet. Two
key items in the diet are common for all civilizations without exception, from anci ent
India to modern Georgia:

1.  PURE AIR
2.  PURE WATER (from the spring)

I have not heard anyone objecting to this. However, the word to which we should pay
special attention is pure

Unfortunately, the criteria for purity have become quite arbitrary nowadays. The
prevailing doctrine is, that there is a threshold of pollution in the water, which is
acceptable and safe  for humans to consume. Medical Authorities generally accept and
recommend the chemical treatment of water, leaving chlorine and other chemica ls in it.
Poisons are added (fluoride), in the name of sterilization and safety supply, despite  the
fact that their toxicity is beyond doubt, and they accumulate in our boy causing chronic
diseases (arthritis). Municipal water also contains heavy metals fro pi pes, pumps etc.,
traces of herbicides, pesticides and other levels of such ingredients in our wate r from
the relevant authorities. They would prefer that we do not know and believe that the
water is OK.

Do not consume such water. Do not use it for tea, soup on even cooking. Use water
obtained from natural springs. Alternatively, filter the municipal water yourself. Do not
use chemical filters. They may initially work, but eventually they may l eave even more
chemicals in the water you drink. The best are multi-stage paper and active carbon
filters, with the final stage that uses a reverse osmosis ceramic membrane. The process
of reverse osmosis imitates the function of a natural spring: water runs over a s tone
(ceramic element) and minute quantities filter slowly through. For home insta llation,
the rate is quite slow: about half a liter per hour. There are systems avai lable, which
store about 10 liters of filtered water under light pressure, ready for immedia te use.

Note, that most of the beverages, including fruit juices from concentrates, conta in
municipal tap water. It would be much better if you squeezed the juice yourself f rom
fresh fruits, or brought the frozen concentrate and diluted yourself with spring or
filtered water.
  45  Even if you do not plan to change anything else in your diet, for social, business or
other reasons, improve the quality of water you drink. Drink at least 2 or 3 liters of it
every day.

The latest research indicates that it is not only the purity of water that is i mportant, but
also its molecular structure. To be particular, a 20 molecule liquid crystal  water
structure, first predicted by a Nobel Prize laureate Linus Pauling in his f amous book
The hydrogen Bond seems to be very important. Such structures are formed by a
phenomenon known as “hydrophobic hydration” and cause changes in the surface
tension, heat capacity and other properties of the water. Water liquid crysta ls occur
naturally in some spring water high in the mountains, and are also formed in water
inside living cells. Water impurities practically eliminate any trac e of water liquid
crystals. (For more details, see the article by Flanagans, listed in t he References)

Note, that nearly every civilization in the past had tales related to “livin g water”, which
was to be found only in inaccessible locations high in the mountains. In view of the
current scientific research (Flanagans) it is quite possible, that such tales  are based on
real experiences.

Seek fresh air as much as possible. Even if you live in the city, and you are forc ed to
breathe polluted air, make an effort to go to the country, forest or at least to a pa rk as
often as possible. Trees and other plants purify the air for us there. Use the ozone
generating lamp to purify the air in your home, if the air outside worse than insi de. You
can leave the lamp on when you are away.

With regards to other ingredients of the diet, again there is remarkable agreem ent found
in wisdom of many civilizations. They all agree, that we should eat PURE FRESH
FOOD. Note for example, that “kosher” means “pure” in Hebrew. (Be careful  here: the
modern definition of “kosher” food should be carefully examined, because it most
likely has lost its exact meaning over the centuries. Similarly to fasti ng in other
countries)

Again the emphasis should be on purity. The best foods from such a point of view are
fresh fruits and vegetables. Even if grown in quite polluted environment, fruits
accumulate very little pollutants. They are created from simple inorgani c compounds
with the aid of photosynthesis. Their content is mostly water.

If you do not believe in the purity of the food you buy, grow it yourself. Instead of
growing flowers at home, grow tomatoes, cucumbers and strawberries or other  foods
and vegetables you favor. Use the technique known today as “hydroponics”, known for
centuries, used for example to create the famous “Gardens of Eden” in the middle  of a
dry land, considered to be one of the 10 wonders of the world. In this technique no soil
is used, and the roots of the plant are washed in an optimal solution of natural mineral
salts. Do not be frightened, if you have to buy these salts in concentrated form, they
will be diluted to imitate natural concentrations. Hydroponic plants grow 2 to 4 times
faster than similar plants left in soil, because we care to provide an optimal f ood supply
for them. Automatic, simple to use hydroponic systems are available today, requi ring  46  no more attention than would a fish tank. (See for example the book by Howard M
Resh listed in References).

Now, we know what is best to eat. The question we can ask is: what foods are
dangerous to eat and why?

I have already demonstrated the devastating effects of solvents and other pois ons
emerging our body. No one who understands the consequences of poisoning should
ignore such warnings.

It is quite clear, that we should avoid containing colors, flavors and other food extracts.
Not because of extracts themselves, but because of dangerous solvents used to extr act
them. These solvents (benzene, various alcohols etc...) are directly responsible for mos t
of the incurable diseases of 20-th century including cancer, AIDS and Alzheimer
disease, just to mention a few.

Your body has a limited capacity to process solvents and alcohols. We seem to recover
quite well from alcohol (ethanol) poisoning for example. Note, however, that such
recovery takes time, during which you have the solvent (alcohol) present in your body,
effectively assisting your parasite friends in their activities.

We should not limit our attention to food. Note, that our skin can also absorb poisons
from the environment. For that reason, we should also examine all products


. Putrid tonsils and rotten teeth are logically removed. The cause is left. The result is a child who will grow to adulthood
accumulating the usual mass of such diseases as Tuberculosis, Rheumatic Fever, Peptic
ulcers, Heart diseases, susceptibility to ever y infection that comes along, fatiguability--
ALL CONDITIONS WHICH WOULD BE NON-EXISTENT IF THE DIET WERE
CORRECT.
   There are a number of mental and nervous diseases which can be treated successfully
by adequate attention to nutrition. Even the treatment of venereal disease can be
improved and painful conditions like arthritis and neuritis are more successfully treated
if nutrition is made a first consideration. Preference must be given to the NATURAL
SOURCES of the vitamins such as Certified  milk, eggs, whole grains, sea food, liver,
heart, kidney, fresh, raw or frozen vegetables, yeast and butter.
   Surgery becomes a much simpler matter if the patient goes to the table with a body so
well nourished that every mechanism of the body can recuperate with normal efficiency.
   I have treated all cases of stomach and duodenal ulcer since 1928, with the high
vitamin, high mineral diet. If necessary, (alle rgy), tobacco was forbidden for life. In
every uncomplicated case, cure was complete, and the disease never recurred as long as
the patient adhered to the high vitamin, high mineral regime. Clinically this refutes the theory that once a person has peptic ulcer nothing under the sun can prevent them from
recurring. It may be repeated that they can never return to the diet composed of devitalized, devitaminized, demineralized carbohydrates that produced the disease.
   The physician or layman who fails to real ize that vitamin and mi neral deficiencies are
rampant had best look about. Everywhere one turns, people are seen who are missing
the fullness of life that comes with optimum nutrition.
   If they could be made to realize the need  for treating their past dietary errors by the
use of concentrates and placing themselves on a full rich diet, many of the nation's health problems would cease to be problems.
   The average person's diet is much below the optimum. The average grocery and the
average table indicate too much carbohydrate and too much salt, with a relative lack of
calcium, iron, iodine and vitamins. The time has come to do something about it.
   The successful outcome of any war may depend on the question of optimum nutrition.
Any commercial interests who aid and abet and give comfort to the enemy by
hampering the campaign for better nutrition should be dealt with as saboteurs. We must
not aim at minimum requirements in these questions of nutrition but at optimum
requirements. If we do not achieve the optimum some other nation will and they will be the masters, we the slaves.

REVIVING A LOVE STORY
ALL OF US need to believe that we are loved and lovable. We began life with
confidence on both points, bathed in a mother ’s love and swaddled in our
own innocence.  Love was neve r in question, but over time our certainty
clouded. When you look at yourself today, can you still make the two
statements every infant could if it had the words?
I am completely loved.
I am completely lovable.
Few people can, for looking at yourself honestly you see flaws that make
you less than completely lovable and less than perfectly loved. In many
ways this seems right to you, for perfect love is supposedly  not of this
world. Yet in a deeper sense, what you call flaws are really just the scars of
hurts and wounds accumulated over a lifetime. When you look in the
mirror, you think you are looking at yourself realistically, but your mirror
doesn’ t reveal the truth that endures despite all hurt:
You wer e created to be completely loved and completely lovable for your whole life.
In a way it is amazing that you do not realize this, because underneath
everything you think and feel, innocence is still intact. Time cannot blemish
your essence, your portion of spirit. But if you lose sight of this essence,
you will mistake yourself for your experiences, and there is no doubt that
experience can do much to obliterate love. In an often hostile and brutal
world, maintaining innocence seems impossible. Therefore, you find
yourself experiencing only so much love and only so much lovability.
This can change.Although you perceive yourself in limited terms, as a mind and a body
confined in time and space, there is a wealth of spiritual teaching that says
otherwise. In spirit you are unbounded by time and space, untouched by
experience. In spirit you are pure love.
The reason you do not feel completely loved and completely lovable is
that you do not identify with your spiritual nature. Your sense  of love has
lost one thing it cannot afford to do without: its higher dimen sion. What
would it be like to restore this lost part of yourself?
Mind, body, and spirit would unite—this union cr eates the love you have to give.
You and your beloved would unite—this cr eates the love you have to shar e.
In our deepest nature each person is meant to be the hero or heroine of an
eternal love story. The story begins in innocence, with a baby’ s birth into a
mother ’s loving  arms. It procee ds through stages of growth, as the young
child steps out into the world. With more and more experience the circle of
love widens, including first family and friends, then intimate partners, but
also taking in love of abstract things, like learning and truth. The ripening
journey brings us to love of giving, and the blossoming of higher values,
such as compassion, forgivenes s, and altruism. Finally there is the direct
experience of spirit itself, which  is pure love. The journey climaxes in the
same knowledge that a baby began with, although it couldn’ t voice that
knowledge: I am love.
You know that you have fully experienced love when you turn into love—that is the spiritual goal of
life.
Not many people find the spiritual goal of life. The aching need created
by lack of love can only be filled by learning anew to love and be loved. All
of us must discover for ourselves that love is a force as real as gravity, and
that being upheld in love every day, every hour, every minute is not a
fantasy—it is intended as our natural state.
This book is about reviving love stories that should never have faded.
The union of self and spirit is not only possible but inevitable. The spiritual
meaning of love is best measured by what it can do, which is many things.
Love can heal.Love can renew.
Love can make us safe.
Love can inspire us with its power.
Love can bring us closer to God.
Everything


point of space provided you are open-minded and receptive. You can
receive new thoughts and ideas enabling you to bring forth new
inventions, make new discoveries, or write books and plays.
Moreover, the infinite intelligence in your sub-conscious can impar t to
you wonderful kinds of knowledge of an original nature. It can revea l
to you and open the way for perfect expression and true plac e in your
life.
Through the wisdom of your subconscious mind you can attract the
ideal companion, as well as the right business asso-ciate or  partner. It
can find the right buyer for your home, and provide you with all t he
money you need, and the financial free-dom to be, to do, and to go, as
your heart desires.
It is your right to discover this inner world of thought, feel ing, and
power, of light, love, and beauty. Though invisible, its forces are
mighty. Within your subconscious mind you will find the solution for
every problem, and the cause for every effect. Because you can draw
out the hidden powers, you come into actual possession of the power
 15  and wisdom necessary to move forward in abundance, security, joy,
and dominion.
I have seen the power of the subconscious lift people up out  of
crippled states, making them whole, vital, and strong once more, a nd
free to go out into the world to experience happiness, health, an d
joyous expression. There is a miraculous healing power in your
subconscious that can heal the troubled mind and the broken hear t. It
can open the prison door of the mind and liberate you. It can fre e you
from all kinds of material and physi-cal bondage.
• Necessity of a working basis
Substantial progress in any field of endeavor is impossib le in the
absence of a working basis, which is universal in its appli-cation. You
can become skilled in the operation of your sub-conscious mind. You
can practice its powers with a certainty of results in e xact proportion
to your knowledge of its principles and to your application of them  for
definite specific purposes and goals you wish to achieve.
Being a former chemist, I would like to point out that if y ou
combine hydrogen and oxygen in the proportions of two atoms of the
former to one of the latter, water would be the result. You ar e very
familiar with the fact that one atom of oxygen and one atom of car bon
will produce carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas. But, if you add
another atom of oxygen, you will get carbon dioxide, a harmless ga s,
and so on throughout the vast realm of chemical compounds.
You must not think that the principles of chemistry, phys-ics, a nd
mathematics differ from the principles of your subcon-scious mind.
Let us consider a generally accepted principle: “Water seeks its own
level.” This is a universal principle, which is applicable  to water
everywhere.
Consider another principle: “Matter expands when heated.”
This is true anywhere, at any time, and under all circumstances. You
can heat a piece of steel, and it will expand regardless  whether the
steel is found in China, England, or India. It is a universal truth that
 16  matter expands when heated. It is also a universal truth t hat whatever
you impress on your subconscious mind is expressed on the screen o f
space as condition, experience, and event.
Your prayer is answered because your subconscious mind is
principle, and by principle I mean the way a thing works. For
example, the principle of electricity is that it works fr om a higher to a
lower potential. You do not change the principle of electricity  when
you use it, but by co-operating with nature, you can bring fort h
marvelous inventions and discoveries, which bless humanity in
countless ways.
Your subconscious mind is principle and works according to the law
of belief. You must know what belief is, why it works, and how it
works. Your Bible says in a simple, clear, and beau-tiful wa y:
Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou re-moved, and be
thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall
believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he s hall
have whatsoever he saith. MARK 11:23.
The law of your mind is the law of belief. This means to beli eve in
the way your mind works, to believe in belief itself. The belie f of your
mind is the thought of your mind—that is simple—just that and
nothing else.
All your experiences, events, conditions, and acts are the react ions
of your subconscious mind to your thoughts. Remem-ber, it is not the
thing believed in, but the belief in your own mind, which brings abou t
the result.
Cease believing in the false beliefs, opinions, superstiti ons, and
fears of mankind. Begin to believe in the eternal verities and truths of
life, which never change. Then, you will move onward, upward, and
Godward.
Whoever reads this book and applies the principles of the
subconscious mind herein set forth; will be able to pray sc ien-tifically
and effectively for himself and for others. Your prayer is  answered
according to the universal law of action and reac-tion. Thought is
 17  incipient action. The reaction is the response from your subcons cious
mind which corresponds with the na-ture of your thought. Busy your
mind with the concepts of har-mony, health, peace, and good will, and
wonders will happen in your life.
• The duality of mind
You have only one mind, but your mind possesses two dis-tinctive
characteristics. The line of demarcation between the two is w ell
known to all thinking men and women today. The two functions of
your mind are essentially unlike. Each is endowed with separate and
distinct attributes and powers. The nomen-clature generally used to
distinguish the two functions of your mind is as follows: The objective
and subjective mind, the conscious and subconscious mind, the
waking and sleeping mind, the surface self and the deep self, the
voluntary mind and the involuntary mind, the male and the female,
and many other terms. You will find the terms “conscious” and
“subconscious” used to represent the dual nature of your mind
throughout this book.
• The conscious and subconscious minds
An excellent way to get acquainted with the two functions of your
mind is to look upon your own mind as a garden. You are a gardener,
and you are planting seeds (thoughts) in your subconscious mind all
day long, based on your habitual think-ing. As you sow in your
subconscious mind, so shall you reap in your body and environment.
Begin now to sow thoughts of peace, happiness, right ac-tion, good
will, and prosperity. Think quietly and with interest on these qualities
and accept them fully in your conscious reason-ing mind. Continue to
plant these wonderful seeds (thoughts) in the garden of your mind, and
you will reap a glorious harvest. Your subconscious mind may be
likened to the soil, which will grow all kinds of seeds, good or ba d.
Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Every thought is,
therefore, a cause, and every condition is an effect. For this reason, it
is essential  that you take charge of your thoughts so as to bring  forth
only desirable conditions.
 18  When your mind thinks correctly, when you understand the truth,
when the thoughts deposited in your subconscious mind are
constructive, harmonious, and peaceful, the magic working power of
your subconscious will respond and bring about harmonious
conditions, agreeable surroundings, and the best of everything. When
you begin to control your thought proc-esses, you can apply the
powers of your subconscious to any problem or difficulty. In othe r
words, you will actually be con-sciously cooperating with the in finite
power and omnipotent law, which governs all things.
Look around you wherever you live and you will notice that the vast
majority of mankind lives in the world without; the more enlighte ned
men are intensely interested in the world within. Remember, i t is the
world within, namely, your thoughts, feelings, and imagery that makes
your world without. It is, there-fore, the only creative power, and
everything, which you find in your world of expression, has been
created by you in the inner world of your mind consciously or
unconsciously.
Knowledge of the interaction of your conscious and sub-conscious
minds will enable you to transform your whole life. In order to cha nge
external conditions, you must change the cause. Most men try to
change conditions and circumstances by working with conditions and
circumstances. To remove discord, confusion, lack, and limitation,
you must remove the cause, and the cause is the way you are using
your conscious mind. In other words, the way you are thinking and
picturing in your mind.
You are living in a fathomless sea of infinite riches. Your
subconscious is very sensitive to your thoughts. Your thoughts form
the mold or matrix through which the infinite intelligence, wisdom,
vital forces,


 you start to have extreme reactions, it could mean that you did not prepare your body for the fast properly with good intestinal cleansing and healthy eating.  You may want to stop, spend more time on your ‘pre-fast’ and then start again.Warnings When Water Fasting
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!25EMOTIONAL CLEANSING REACTIONS 1.5 years ago during my 10-day water fast, I experienced a lot of negative emotions including sadness, guilt, depression and anger.   This is what happened to me:‘At one stage during the water fast, I had a misunderstanding with a friend which unfortunately led this person to actually end the friendship!  Of course there were events in our friendship that led up to that point but I was completely shocked and devastated.  Believe me when I say the best and worst can come out of you during a water fast – if you have loved ones that don’t understand this then it’s important to distance yourself from them during that time!As a result of this incident, I spent a few days of my fast feeling depressed and guilty and full of negative emotions about myself – the worst vibrations to have in your body for healing!  I also knew that somehow the whole situation must have happened to allow me the opportunity to cleanse myself of these bad feelings.  A blessing in disguise!  It took a lot of mental strength not to break the fast during that time but I stayed true to my goal and surrendered to the situation and to my feelings, just allowing myself to be present in my emotions. Finally I started to feel better and by about the 5th day of pure water, I really started to feel good. Warnings When Water Fasting
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!26Then, I had a wave of anger come out after about day 6.  I felt angry at everything in the world – everything I tried to do went wrong – something would fall behind the fridge or I would drop and break something or my credit card wouldn’t work online and I wanted to scream!  I knew that my liver was doing some serious cleansing.  Anger is an emotion that has a history in my family and I know it is an old energy that runs deep.  I never experienced it so profoundly in any cleanse before.  Experiencing negative emotions can be a powerful part of cleansing for sure.Eventually I seemed to come into balance and by day 8 of pure water I felt good, in balance and at peace once again.’Usually these types of negative emotions arise more when the liver is cleansing, so take it as a good sign.  Your body is pulling these deep-rooted energies out of the cells and is ﬁnally releasing them once and for all.  If you want, you can say mantras to yourself such as ‘I am releasing the anger from x person hurting me’ or ‘I am releasing the guilt of (whatever the situation).’ Allow your mind to work with the body to help actively release and be free of these burdens!HUNGERThis is probably the thing people worry about the most when they think about whether or not to try a water fast.  I can tell you that in my case, the only real hunger I felt was in my mind!  If I thought about food or I saw or Warnings When Water Fasting
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!27smelled food, only then did I start to want it.  But my physical body really did not experience hunger pains.  If you do feel a lot of grumbling, ﬁrst try to drink more water.  Always drink small amounts of water at a time so you don’t wind up feeling sick.  Try to lie down, meditate and take your mind somewhere else.  Think about all the good you are doing for your body.  Know that this is your chance to heal in amazing ways.  Ask for strength from your Source.If you start to think about food, try as much as possible to NOT think about junk foods, comfort foods, de-vitalized foods, coffee or alcohol.  If you do this, you are creating the seed of energy in your mind to seek those foods out later.  For sure you will have a much harder time saying no to them once you break your fast.  Many people even think about such foods so much that they wind up breaking their fast on those very foods!Be careful what you think about.  If you start to fantasize about food, imagine yourself eating all the pure, divine foods from Mother Earth.  Visualize having the perfect fruit salad for breakfast, then imagine preparing the most delicious raw salad for lunch and watch yourself eating that wonderful dinner of mixed greens and garlic with a fresh basil pesto dressing.  Be creative and have fun in your mind, but keep it healthy!AVOID GOSSIP AND NEGATIVE TALKAs much as you possibly can, maintain a circle of supportive friends and loved ones around you during your fast.  If someone you know disagrees with what you are doing, don’t tell them right away.  If anyone is making you Warnings When Water Fasting
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!28feel less than the perfect person you are, politely avoid them during that time.  Realize that you will be much more sensitive to others and to your own feelings as well.  If someone really cares about you, they will understand and do everything they can to support you.Make a rule for yourself not to engage in any gossip or negative talk about anyone during your fast.  These energies spread like wildﬁre and a wildﬁre is very hard to put out.  Be positive and loving and you will attract more of the same into your life!Otherwise try spend a lot of time alone, reading books, watching health dvds, spending time in nature, keeping motivated and inspired and really connecting to your body.  I like the way that Daniel Reid talks about ‘saving your breath’ in his book, ‘The Tao of Detox’.  He explains how much energy is wasted simply from speaking and to consider talking as little as possible during your fast to keep that energy for your own healing.  It makes sense!REST EVEN WHEN FEELING GOODRest is one of the most important factors in a successful fast.  Give the body all the time it needs to do it’s internal healing.  If you start to feel really good, it can be very tempting to want to head out for a walk, run to the shops or meet some friends for an outing.  As much as you can, try to avoid this temptation!  Even when you are feeling good during a water fast, you should still rest as much as possible!  You will beneﬁt so much more in terms of how much your body can achieve with the fast if you rest, rest and then rest even more!Warnings When Water Fasting
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!29Chapter 4How to break a Water FastMENTAL PREPARATIONOnce you decide to break your water fast, the real work begins.  While you are fasting, you don’t have to face any bad eating habits, comfort foods or succumb to any social eating pressures.  But as soon as you start to eat again, you will be faced with these challenges.  The biggest challenge is, of course, to not overeat right away.  Be strong!  Mentally prepare yourself to break your fast slowly, gently and safely.  This is critical for your success.  Don’t even think about bingeing – you will be throwing all your good work down the toilet, not to mention that fact that you will make yourself sick!When you break a long fast, it is very important that you wake up the digestive system very slowly.  Your body is used to having nothing, so even one juice can make you feel very full.  Remember that as you plan your ﬁrst day of eating.KEEP IT SIMPLEOne of the biggest mistakes that people make when they break a fast is that they immediately start eating a lot of different foods, perhaps similar to the way that they ate before the fast. When you have only had water for a long period of time, any food, even healthy foods, will seem like a lot to the body, and several foods at once can become mayhem.  Often, a person will feel sick, too full and tired as their body desperately tries to digest all the incoming food.  Try to stay with mono-meals, meaning one or two types of fruit, juice or vegetables at a time, in the ﬁrst several days after the fast. Avoid all dried foods, dehydrated foods and packaged foods as much as possible.  If you don’t, you will most likely end up feeling tired and constipated. You might even get headaches from the overdose of food.The goal is to be gentle with the body and try to get the colon moving to avoid constipation. Dried foods will block up the colon. High-water content foods are easy to pass. Raw foods are best because they are high is enzymes and move most quickly through the digestive track.  You have never met someone so miserable and full of regret than a person who becomes constipated after a long fast. Don’t let this be you!Be sure to continue to drink plenty of water so you don’t become dehydrated as well.After every juice or meal, take one probiotic. Also take one probiotic at night before bed.  As you start to eat solid foods, you may also want to take 2 herbal laxatives at night before bed until you start becoming regular again.  I recommend Cascara Sagrada.How to Break a Water Fast

. Put in a cool place and let stand over night. Then add a
small quantity of rich, warm milk, about two hours before
serving; warm and serve with thick cream.

KRAUT.
Shred or chop fine selected white cabbage. Pack a layer
in bottom of deep stone or wooden vessel. Add a light layer
of salt. Alternate layers of ca bbage and salt until the vessel is
filled, using about one scant cup of salt to,an ordinary
cabbage. Pack down very hard, placing on the top a heavy
weight, so as to keep the cabbage beneath the brine. Cover
with heavy linen cloth, which should be washed thoroughly every day for about two weeks. Soak in cold water a few
minutes before serving.
FLESH FOODS.

FLESH  foods and sea foods have become the second most
important article of diet among all civilized people. This is
due very largely to preparation —to cooking. The adoption of
uncooked food will bring both the body and the appetite to a
state of normality which will naturally and gradually abolish
all flesh as food, but in order to pay the proper respect to the
laws of heredity and environm ent and aid the beginner in
taking the kinks of custom out of his daily habits, we give
below a few flesh food recipes.

BEEFSTEAK A LA TARTAR.
 Steak,   Salt,
 Onions,   Green Peppers,
 Pepper,   Parsley,
Eggs.
Take a porterhouse or sirloin steak of the size desired.
Grind very fine. Mix with minced onion, pepper and salt.
Mound up on a small platter, ma ke a depression in the top in
which put the unbroken yolk of an egg. Garnish with green
pepper and parsley, and serve.

CHIPPED BEEF IN CREAM.
Shave dried beef very fine. Pour over it warm water and
let stand for a few minutes. Pour this off and pour on thick
cream with a little parsley choppe d fine. Garnish with parsley
and serve.

CLAMS AND OYSTERS.
These articles do not possess any very great food
properties and when taken uncooked they are more
nourishing and less harmful. They should never be eaten with
catsup, vinegar, horseradish or sauces.

DRIED AND SMOKED FISH.
Herring, anchovias, smoked salmon or any dried fish can
be made quite palatable by seasoning thoroughly and soaking
5 to 10  minutes in very warm water.
EGGS.

EGGS constitute a very important article of food. They
contain about 14 per cent. protein, 10 per cent. fat, 1 per cent.
mineral salts, 73 per cent. water, and give to the body about
725 calories of heat to the pound. Their heat producing power
and nutritive elements are well balanced, showing that they
are a substantial food. An egg sh ould never be cooked. In its
natural state it is easily dissolved and readily taken up by all
the organs of digestion, but the cooked egg must be brought
back to liquid form before it can  be digested, which puts extra
and unnecessary labor upon these over-worked organs.

FRUIT EGG-NOG.
Beat one raw egg quite stiff. Add one-half glass grape
juice, beat well. Then add one-half glass of cream. Beat
thoroughly and use at once. This is a full meal for an invalid.

FAMILY EGG-NOG.
Two eggs stiffly beaten stirred into one quart of rich
milk. A little grated nutmeg, or a spoonful of fruit juice and
whipped cream added to the egg-nog will improve the taste
very materially.

EGGS PLAIN.
Eggs can be taken by breaking them one at a time into a
glass and swallowing them whole. Four or five eggs used in
this manner constitute a good and healthful meal, and are
especially recommended for those desiring to gain in flesh.

BEATEN EGGS.
Two eggs lightly beaten, to which may be added a little
lemon juice and cream, make an  excellent beverage—one that
combines with all other foods.

WHIPPED EGGS.
Break into a small soup bowl two or three eggs. Whip to
a froth. Add to this any fruit juice desired. This should be
eaten with other foods which require mastication.

EGG CREAM.
Whip the whites of two eggs until quite stiff, adding to
this one glass of rich milk for a beverage.
Cream can be used instead of milk, whipped lightly with
the eggs, which makes a most delicious cream to use over
fruits.
Note:—The whites of eggs mixed with cream or rich
milk make one of the most nourishing and easily assimilated
foods known. It is especially recommended for those
suffering from rheumatism or stiffness and sluggishness when arising in the morning. It is also recommended to those
desiring to gain in weight. From one to two dozen eggs can
be taken daily, together with two to three quarts of milk.

ORANGE EGG.
Separate the white and yolk, whipping each to a stiff
froth, add slowly to the yolk the juice of one sweet orange
whipping continuously, then add the beaten white, whipping
it all to a creamy froth.
The proportion is one medium size orange to each egg.
Serve as egg-nogg.
CEREALS.

THE popular belief is that cereals cannot be eaten without
cooking. This opinion is the result of following precedent,—
of accepting "that which is as true." Cereals are best just
before they have ripened and hardened, when they are soft
and full of water. This condition can be partially brought
about again by soaking them in pure water or milk. The
common theory that the stomach is unable to digest uncooked
cereal starch is altogether wrong, as can be easily
demonstrated by any one who will thoroughly masticate the
uncooked cereal. Making the cook stove do what the stomach
ought to do is depriving this member of its rights and its
exercise,—depriving it of what nature intended it to do, and
the penalty is weakness, just as it would be with any other
unused part of the anatomy.

OAT GROATS.
Take quantity sufficient for two or three days, soak seven
or eight hours in lukewarm water, or until sufficiently
softened, drain thoroughly, and serve with thick cream. Salt a
little if desired. A dash of grated nuts may be added, which
will make a most palatable dish and add much to their value
and vitalizing properties.

WHOLE WHEAT.
Put quantity desired for use in a deep vessel, and cover
with warm water. Keep in a warm place. Allow to stand
twenty-four hours and longer if desired very soft. Drain
thoroughly. It will be found suffi ciently softened to be easily
masticated and eaten with nuts. This makes probably the most
nutritious dish of all the cereal family. A very little salt may
be added.

FLAKED OATS OR FLAKED WHEAT.
Put an amount sufficient for several days' supply into a
deep vessel. Add enough warm water to hardly cover. After
standing a few hours stir well, so as to thoroughly moisten the
top portion. This in a short tim e will be found ready for use.
A very little salt can be used. This can be served with cream,
strained honey, ground nuts, or any two of these or a
combination of all.

FLAKED WHEAT DRY.
Flaked wheat is a most delicious dish served dry and
eaten with either cream, olive oil or honey.

CHRISTIAN'S COMBINATION CEREAL.
This is a combination of several Cereals, especially
prepared and so proportioned as to level or balance all the
nutritive elements contained in grains. It can be used and prepared the same as flaked oats of
wheat.

UNFIRED BREAD.
Bread forms a very important part of the uncooked menu,
but its production is not practical in the home where this book
is intended to be of greatest use, as it requires special
machinery for flaking and grinding the different grains and
nuts of which it is made. It also requires a special electric
light oven for drying during the winter when the rays of the
sun cannot be utilized.
Note:—It has recently been shown by experiments made
in Washington that both the light and heat from the
incandescent electric lamp contain nearly all the properties of
sunlight and will delegate to  vegetation an abundance of
chlorophyl (green) the same as natural sunshine.
To meet conditions that exist we make an exception here
and give two recipes for bread that requires cooking, but is
unfermented.

UNLEAVENED GEMS.
Put three cups of whole wheat flour in a bowl or pan, two
cups full of ice cold water, a little salt, and a table-spoonful of
melted butter or cream. Beat a nd stir. Take up on a spoon and
work all the air possible into the batter | by vigorous beating
two or three minutes in the open air. It will probably need

 a new kind o f literature. This is living  literature. So for heaven’s
sake, don’t plow ahead here if your head is spinning and you need some help right now.)  Your thoughts create your emotions. We’ve now firmly established that. This means that
you are creating your emotions. This is another very important piece of information. I can’t
say it enough.
Most people don’t think they create  their emotions. They think they just have  them. Like
snowflakes or raindrops, they fall out of the sky. People ofte n say that they were just
overcome  by emotion.
In fact, emotions are chosen. The mind decides  to feel a certain way. Emotions are an Act
of Will.
Wow, that’s tough. That’s a tough one. That’s very difficult for people to accept. You
accept this and suddenl y you’re responsible for everything; for how you feel, for how you
act with others as a result of how you feel... so when people hear this, they look for an
“out.”
(“There must be some  way in which I am not responsible for how I’m feeling. I mean, I
can see that I’m responsible for what I do with my feelings, but my feelings themselves?
C’mon!  I can’t be responsible for that. I feel the way I feel, dammit, and that’s just my truth.”)
Have you ever told yourself some version of that? Yet the human race ca n never evolve
until we see the role we all play in the creation of our emotions. So I will repeat: emotions
are chosen. The mind decides  to feel a certain way. Emotions are an Act of Will.
Now I will concede this much: your mind does what it does so fast  that it can seem  as
though you have no control over your emotions.
Your brain works faster than the fastest computer ever manufactured. (That may not be
true in a few more years, but it is still true today... I think.) Your mind moves you very
quickly i nto an emotion based on the thought it has formed. This is what is meant when
people say, “I was very moved.” Indeed they were. Thought is energy, and your mind’s job is
to move that energy into motion  (E+motion).
Since this happens so doggone fast, so lightning  fast, it becomes crucial that we know,
ahead of time, the answer to what has now become the central question: What generates
the thought that creates the emotion? Where does the thought come from?
If you can figure that  out you will have gone a long  way toward being able to change
your thought about something. And if you can change your thought about something, you
can create a different emotion around it —which will produce a different experience of it.
As fast as the mind works, it still works only on the data it is working with. Garbage
in/garbage out.
Bingo.
Bingo!
Because producing an experience different from the one you are now having is precisely
what you want to do. I promised  you that this was all going to get back around to you, to
what is h appening with you, right here, right now.
So... what creates a thought that creates an emotion? Where does a thought come
from? It comes from your inner truth. And where does your inner truth come from? It
comes from your prior data. So, knowing this ahead of time, can we change a thought that is
likely to produce an unwelcome emotion before it produces that emotion?  Probably not. Maybe, in some rare instance, but in most cases, probably not. Because it
happens too fast. It all happens so darned fast. Even knowing ahead of time why  it’s
happenin g cannot stop it from happening before you know it. (I meant that literally!) Not
unless you’re a true Master. Not unless you’re His Holiness, the Dalai Lama or somebody.
(And I’m not making fun of him. He really is a Master. But how many are there like hi m?)
So what’s the point of all this... what’s the use of us discussing this, exploring all this,
examining this every which way from Sunday...? Fair question. A really, really, really  fair
question. Such a fair, and important, question that it feels  like this might be a good time,
before plowing right ahead, to give yourself some

Breathe into what you’ve just read, then... decide now if you want to go on, or rest with

IT’S AFTER, NOT BEFORE
The point of everything I’ve been telling you here is that, while you may not be able to
use it to control your thoughts ahead  of time, you now have an extraordinary tool, a
powerful, powerfu l device, with which to change your thoughts after the  fact. Indeed,
almost instantly  after the fact. And that is nearly as good as doing it ahead of time.
Think about it. If you could have changed most of the thoughts that created the negative
emotions th at you have had in the past twenty years within minutes, or even seconds, of
having them, transforming them on the spot  into something much more positive and
healing, wouldn’t you have loved to have been able to do that?  I mean, do you think that
would hav e changed some important moments in your life, or what...???
Now think about this for your future —or even for the present moment in which you are
now living. If you could transform negative emotions into positive emotions right now, and
every day for t he rest of your life —even if you did it after you first felt  the negative
emotion —wouldn’t that be a wonderful gift?
I promised you at the outset —and I meant it when I promised —that when you’re
through here you’ll be able to change Fear into Excitement, Wo rry into Wonder,
Expectation into Anticipation, Resistance into Acceptance, Disappointment into
Detachment, Enragement into Engagement, Addiction into Preference, Requirement into
Contentment, Judgment into Observation, Sadness into Happiness, Thought into  Presence,
Reaction into Response, and a Time of Turmoil into a Time of Peace.
I didn’t say you would never have  fear, never have  worry, never have  disappointment or
sadness or turmoil. I said that you would be able to change them. And you will be able to.
You’ll be able to change them fast. As fast as they arise. You can watch them come up, and
you can change them as fast as they appear.  Or you can take your time with it. You can, as spiritual teacher Mary O’Malley suggests,
just look at them with simple c uriosity, and observe how it feels to have that particular
feeling. Then you can hang out with your emotion —and the Distorted Reality that it
generates —for as long as you want. You are in total control. You can create whatever
“aftereffect” you wish. After  you feel the first rush of emotion, how you wish it to affect you
is up to you.
By the way, you can trust yourself on this. You will know  when you’re “done” having an
experience. You will know  when your period of mourning is over, your time of anger has
passed, your veil of tears is ready to be lifted, your fear seeks to subside, your unhappiness
feels complete.
Again, you can decide that this will be just moments after the very first impulse of
negative energy flows through you —or you can choose to take w eeks, months, or years.
(We all know people who have been bitter for decades over an event in their past.) But
now, at least, you cannot say that you have no control  over these emotions or the thoughts
that create them, that you have no control  over the wa y you are experiencing your life, that
you have no control  over the reality in which you find yourself.
In my own life, I have reduced my experience of anger or frustration to about twelve to
fifteen minutes. I just toss it away after that. Sadness takes a  little longer. Sometimes a half -
hour or more. Fear, longer still. I can hang out in fear, or waft in and out of it, for periods of
time over days on end if I am not careful. And melancholy?  Gosh, I could entertain
melancholy as a Constant State of Mind gi ven the slightest encouragement. (It’s apparently
too much fun for me to give up.)
The point: I hold on to the experiences that serve me, and only as long as they serve me.
And how I can tell when they are no longer are serving me? By my Happiness Meter.
You see, I know myself pretty well. I can actually be happy  being angry —and I am willing
to admit that. I can be happy  being sad, and I can admit that. There are certain times when
it feels good  to feel bad. There’s a certain excitement attached to a partic ular kind of anger.
(Self -righteousness is one of my favorites.) But when it


 through the years. These oft-
received inquiries have never been answered by both at the same
time, however. Until now. Following is the result of asking each
the same question, then placing their answers side-by-side,
comparing  their medical and spiritual points of view.

The questions here were first answered
from a medical perspective by Brit Cooper, M.D.,
and then from a spiritual perspective
 by Neale Donald W alsch.

Question #1

ASSI STED LIVING FACILITIES

My mother is suffering from dementia. W e can afford to place her in
an assisted living facility, but question whether we are being selfish,
or acting in her best interests.

DR. COOPER: This is a question that many people face with their
aging parents, especially as modern medicine develops to the pointwhere people begin to live longer and longer.
When we look at why assist ed living facilities were created in
the first place, we see that they offer numerous benefits. These
types of care facilities were meant to enhance our relationship with
our aging loved one. They have staff who can look after the basic
needs of the elderly—be it food preparation, eating, bathing,
toileting, exercise, medication administration, and socialization with
others so that our aging parents do not begin to feel isolated,  as so
many older people do when they are no longer physically able to get
out and do things during the day.
Assisted living  facilities are also able to offer various levels of
medical support. The nursing staff can look after things such as
catheters (tubin g to help with urination) among other daily tasks, and
physicians visit seniors’ care facilities regularly, so your mother
would have easy access to medical care.
We can see that in an ideal world, assisted living facilities would
in all likelihood  be a win-win option for both you and your aging loved
one. You would be able to focus on a heart-to-heart connection
without having  to worry about their physical needs being taken care
of, nor about their overall medical care and supervision.
However, the great tragedy in many of today’s assisted living
facilities is that we often miss out on the gifts that elders bring.
Having worked in the medical profession, and having made dozens
of trips into seniors’ care homes, I have seen before my own eyes
much of the sadness, the loneliness, and often the sense of isolation
—the opposite of what we were trying to achieve—occur in all too
many of these facilities.I have walked into these places and, more times than not,
literally felt, energetically, the sense that people were wishing they
were somewhere else. I will ask people, “Do you have any visitors
coming today?” And more than half of the patients have  said that
they rarely get visitors... not even their own family members. And
they will say point blank that they dislike being there.
So it is no surprise to me that many of them sink into a state of
depression (with a staggering 44 percent rate of depression or
depressive symptoms among the “institutionalized elder ly”),12 and
many of them even lose the impetus or drive to socialize with those
around them. Instead, all too many people recluse in their small
rooms, wishing  the hours and days away, and spending the final
moments of their lives in a way that is far from the most meaningful.
As a society, we no longer value the presence of elders as we
used to, and to our loss. Elders used to be deeply respected and
cherished for the wisdom they offered to the human “tribe.” And
Conversations with God makes  it clear in the first few chapters of
Book 3 that this is how any society of highly evolved beings would
live.
They would celebrate and honor their elders and, in doing so,
would facilitate people findin g great meaning in the final stages of
their lives, precisely  because they would see themselves as
essential parts of the community, valued for the gifts they bring.
Given that this is no longer done at a cultural level, it is up to us
now to look out for our loved one’s best interest. How can we do
this?
Looking at your mother ’s case specifically, I would suggest that
if you do have the financial wherewithal to support her in an assistedliving facility, and if you feel that this is the best option at this point—
which it sounds like you do— then I would do it. I would perhaps start
off by spending some time with her looking around at different
places, so that the two of you can choose something that feels like
“home” to her. (Unless, of course, her dementia is so severe that she
is unable to help in the decision-making process.)
Once you have  selected a new “home” for your mother, I would
do my best to bring an excited and optimistic energy to the situation.
Rather than feeling “guilty” (or “selfish”) about it, I would release
those emotions and instead spend time thinking of creative ways that
you could make this “next chapter of her life” (moving into the
assisted living facility) as positive as possible for both of you.
When it comes to the idea of being “selfish,” Conversations with
God makes it clear that we cannot give to others what we do not give
to ourselves; or, to quote from Arianna Huffington’ s book Thrive, we
need to “secure [our] own oxygen mask first,” before we are
effectively able to help others.13 If caring for your mother on your own
has become burdensome to the point that it does not feel good to
you anymore—where the gift of giving to anoth er becomes no longer
joyful—then it is time to make a change.
Also, as you navigate this period of transition, know that it is
entirely possible that your relationship with your mother could be
even more meaningful when she is in an assisted living facility. For in
giving yourself some breathing space, and in diminishin g the work
you need to do caring for her, you will then be able to “show up” in a
way where you can maximiz e the joy and connection between the
two of you, as well as with the rest of your family.In closing, I invite you to see this transition that is occurr ing in
both of your lives not as a sadness  or a let-down, or not for that
matter as a “selfish choice,”  but rather, as an opportunity  and a
blessing  as you continue to show your mother how much you love
and care for her, even and especially as she moves into an assisted
living facility.

NEALE: I have lived through this family dilemma, although at a bit of
a distance. My wife’s father suffered from dementia, and his
symptoms became so severe, with his behavior so affected, that his
wife of 50 years had no choice but to place him in a memory care
facility less than two months after their golden wedding anniversary.
It was not a situation where  caring for my wife’s Dad on her
own had become burdensom e to the point where it “did not feel
good” to her anymore—where “the gift of giving to another  became
no longer joyful”—it was a situation in which the gift of giving to
another became no longer possible.
I don’t think that anybody removes a loved one from their own
home and places them in a care facility because the joy has gone
out of caring for them. I observe that this happens because the
capability  of caring for them has been exceeded by the patient ’s
needs.
As you’ve pointed out here doctor, one person, or even two, in
the home cannot provide the ongoing, minute-to-minute care that a
multi-person staff at a memo ry care facility is called upon  to provide
—and I want to add that this is a staff that, not insignificantly, rotates
and has time off from attending to the continual need of the patient
for highly personalized attention; a staff that also does not have alifetime of deep personal attachment, and the resulting unremitting
grief and loss, to deal with emotionally... which we all know can
have an enormous ef fect on any person’ s energy reserves.
The loss experienced by family members of dementia and
Alzheimer ’s patients can often exceed the loss experienced when a
loved one dies. As devastating as the death of a beloved is, that
experience of deep loss is not visited over and over again for weeks,
months, or even years, as is the case faced by family members of
someone whose memory and basic living skills are slipping away
inch-by-inch right in front of them—and then, more rapidly, mile by
agonizing mile.
The pain of seeing a loved one in a casket, while deepl y and
sadly impacting, often cannot compare to the stunning, cold-
compress-on-the-chest experience of a wife or child seeing a lifelong
loved one in front of them who suddenly does not know who they
are. Adding to this monumental loss is that the family member in the
second instance will then, eventually, have to embrace the physical
departure of their loved one through death as well— and knows it. My
father-in-law died in the memory care facility.
To directly respond to the question above, then... I believe
that people who deeply love another are rarely, if ever, acting
“selfishly” by moving their beloved into a care facilit y. On the
contrary, it breaks their heart  to


 to my diet noticed I that:
• The pain from the nerve i njury went away  and I was able to beg in exercisin g.
•I had m uch less indiges tion and gas.
•My urges  and compulsive beh avior lessened  substanti ally or vanishe d. I no longe r had t o fight the ur ge to smoke,
drink, stuff myself or use excessive caffeine.
• My energy levels improved.
• My thinking and work improved.
Please feel free to use me as a reference. I am happy to talk to anyone about water at any time.
William E. Gray
Ordinary tap water, unless there is proof of its being contaminated with chemicals and heavy m etals such as lead, is
a good source of sup ply. Ta p water has the protection of chl orine as a bacteria-killing agent. The "bottled water" in
supermarkets is said to be sterilized by the addition of ozone at the time of bottling. Ozo ne, or "super oxygen,"
seems to have a bacteria-killing property. If used in time, bottled water can serve as an alternative source of supply.
If you are not sure of your wat er source not being contaminated or containing impurities not safe to drink, save
yourself from this anxiety by installing a small filtration unit on your kitchen faucet. There are very effective carbon or
ceramic filter units that can save you from the hassle of buying water from the stores and having to carry its
containers day in and day out.
Eventually, the "point of use" filtration of water will become standard practice in advanced societies that have a
tendency to pollute their drinking water. With the present decline in the fortunes of the municipalities, delivering
quality drinking water in their pipe systems will at one point become too expensive and impossible. It wou ld not be
practical to deliver high quality water to also use for washing and gardening.
However, when one develops a taste for other than tap water, if one runs out of supply in the house, the body will be
forced to go without water just because of the difference in taste—a self-imposed preference. Usu ally, the "bad
taste" is a ttributed to dissolved chlorine in the water. Most sales agents who wish to sell water purifiers make issue
of the fact that tap water contains ch lorine. They also point to calcium dissolved in the water, often called "hard
water."
If we fill an open-top jug with water and let it stand in the refrigerator or on the kitchen counter, the chlorine that is
dissolved in the water will evaporate and the smell of it will go too. The water will become "sweet" and very easily
palatable. This is h ow all restaurants serve water—out of a well-iced jug that was filled some time before its use. As
for the calcium in the water, unless the water is truly and heavily calcium-l aden, its use  is perf ectly safe. Not only is i t
safe, it is a cheap source for calcium needs of the body. The calcium is already dissolved in the water and one does
not need to go to the pharmacy to buy calcium tablets to take as a preventive measure against the osteoporosis we
see in the elderly.
How and when do you think osteoporosis begins? Actually, many years before it is recognized. When hydroelectric
energy stores become depleted on and off, energy stored in the bondage of calcium to calcium in the cells and
eventually in the bones is used. When one molecule of calcium becomes sep arated from another molecule of
calcium, one unit of ATP is also released. ATP i s one unit of excha ngeable energy. Th e loose calcium is now
available to be shed. When water and calcium are taken in their natural forms, the emergency need for the release
of energy sto red in calcium bondage is decreased. This is why b ones are a great source of reserved energy. The
body is able to tap into this reservoir of energy.
In any case, even heavily dissolved calcium in the water will most probably be without adverse effects. I t seems the
body possesses a most delicate need-regulated mechanism of absorption of elements from the gastrointestinal
tract. Most probably, not all the calcium dissolved in even very hard water enters the system. A recent study (in
another country and in a region with only very hard water available for consumption) has shown the calcium-laden
water consumed did not produce any adverse effects on the people who did not avoid drinking the water.
In this approach to disease prevention, one will not need to stick to a strict diet manipulation to control this or that
clinical condition as long as water intake precedes food intake. Howev er, one word of advice is to limit fatty and fried
foods. Fats get converted to fatty acids and circulate in the blood. Fatty acids will  replace tryptophan that is attached
to the albumin to be stored and protected while being circulated around in the blood. The liver will attack and destroy
freed tryptophan if its free form in circu lation is more than 20 percent of its total content. In due time, excess fattyfood will deplete the tryptophan reserves of the body. This is o ne of the most important reasons why fatty foods are
not good for health.
At the same time, not all fatty acids are bad for the body. In fact there are at least two essential fatty acids that the
body needs all the time and cannot manufactu re. They are: Alphalinoleic Acid, LNA, known as Om ega 3 oil, and
Linoleic Acid, LA, known as Om ega 6 oil. These fatty acids are needed for the manufactu re of cell membranes',
hormones and nerve coverings in the body. Although other fats that enter the body are used for their energy
content, O-3 and O-6 are saved and only used for the manufacture of hormones and in the structure of all of the
membranes inside and covering the cell. In treatment of the diseases that are produced by the damage to the nerve
covering (page 63), the regular intake of these essen tial fatty acids is a must.
The richest so urce of O-3 is flax seed, from which flax oil is extracted and sold on the market. Flax oil also contains
some O-6 in its composition. The richest sources of O-6 are safflower and sunflower  oils. Flax oil is already on the
market. Udo's Choice will come to the American market soon. Dr. Udo Erasmus, the author of the book, Fats That
Heal Fats That Kill and based on many years of research, has developed a special mix of the essential oils the body
needs for its different manufacturing programs. Ud o's Choice contains: flax oil, sunflower oil, sesame oil, rice germ
oil, wheat germ oil, oat germ oil, lecithin, vitamin E, and some special triglycerides. Six to  eight grams (a spoonful) of
this mix daily should provide all the essential fatty acids that the body needs. For more information on oils, read his
book.
Loss of hair, sterility, weakness, impaired vision, growth retardation, eczema, liver damage, kidney damage, and
other degenerative conditions may also be associated with essential fatty acid deficiency in the body.
EASE OF  SLEEPI NG:
Are you having difficulty in sleeping at night? Try drinking a glass of water and then putting a pinch of salt on your
tongue. My personal experience, and observation in others, have shown that one begins falling asleep within a few
minutes. In my estimation, this combination alters the rate of electrical discharge in the brain and induces sleep.
Remember not to touch the palate with the salt. It may cause irritation. A cup  of yogurt at night before going to sleep
will also help. It works as if you have taken a sleeping pill.
PREVENT F AINTING:
If you are suscep tible to feeling faint after a shower, begin to recognize that the water reserves of your body are not
enough to reach your brain when the blood vessels in the skin open up because of the heat from the hot shower.
Always drink water before going under the shower. Drink more water and increase your salt intake if you feel faint
when you stand up.
PREVENT A HEART AT TACK:
A friend of mine is now in hospital, having had a heart attack fol lowed by heart arrest. He had collapsed in his office
and had to be resuscitated to begin breathing again. He now has neurological com plications because no oxygen
had reached his brain whe n his heart stopped beating. It is now cle ar from the family that for a number of days prior
to his attack, he had niggly che st pains that projected into his left arm. He paid no attention to it thinking it would go
away by itself. His m istake has landed him and now his family into great emotional and post-stroke nursing
problems.
If he had learned that anginal pain that projects i nto the arm is a late complication of chronic dehydration, and if he
had started increasing his daily water intake, he most probably would not have suffered from such catastrophic and
irreversible damage. Please, for the sake of those who love and care for you, remember to increase your daily water
intake if you are experiencing anginal pain. You should also begin to exercise —walk, walk, walk!
COL OR OF URINE:
The normal color of urine should not be dark. It should ideally be almost colorless to  light yellow. I f it


d some appetite. On the sixth day, she
asked for food twice and began to sit without any support. On the
ninth day, she insisted on the third meal also and began ·to walk in
the courtyard of the house. On the twelfth day, she asked for more
food, but it was not allowed. On the sixt,enth day, drinking of urine
was stopped. Now she was healthy and used to walk ouside the
courtyard. Thus in 15 days' urine treatment, Miss K. R. Shah
regained her health. In addition, she recovered appearance, colour,
appetite, weight and vigour, normal for her age."
"I have given an account of two cases which were declared by
doctors as incurable. These two cases were treated by me between
summer and rainy se'aspns of 1958. Urine th~rapy is useful both
according to principles of homoeopathy as well as of biochemistry.
It is a successful cure of all the incurable and chronic diseases. I
hold this belief on the basis of my own experience. Urine therapy,
properly applied, could be of great service to humanity.
"If nature, habits, strength, appetite, season, economic conditions
and other factors are taken into account, and if treatment is TUBERCULOSIS : 91
undertaken, under supervision of an experienced person I am sure
that 95% of the so-called incurable cases would disappear by urine
treatment."
AFTERMATH OF CASES
1. Shri Bachubhai G. Shah (Gangasadan, Vithalwadi, Marvey
Road, Malad West, Bombay), submitted orally in the seminar on
urine therapy 011 15-6-61, his own experience of this therapy. He
had anattack of T.B. but doctors could not diagnose it and so a
cavity developed on the left-side 'tung. The right-side lung also
showed some effect. Under X-ray, the trouble was traced out at last
He was admitted to the Sarvodaya Hospital at Ghatkoper. On an
advice from Kunverji Mehta of Malad, he took recourse to urine
therapy and could cure himself completely buy auto-urine..
2. Shri, Mohanlal Gupta (Sanchalaka, Sarvajanik Chikitsalaya,
Sarvodaya'-gram, Mujjaffarpur, Bihar) had informed in writing that
he was at death's door due to T.B. but.could experience wounderful
change for the better only in three days by urine therapy.
3. Shri Madhubehn Thakar (Patel Mahad, Siddhapur) aged
twenty-eight, had a cavity on the left-side lung. She was vomiting
blood and had fever and cold and gasping. She took to urine the
rapy and in 13 days blood-vomit stopped without any reaction.
Gasping and cold also vanished and she could feel far better. She
could eat as appetite increased. She used to take Khakhara and
vegetables prepared in ghee. Ultimately she cured herself
completely from this fatal malady.
4. Shri Gopal Shah (Sevashram, Bhopoli, Nainital, Uttar Pradesh)
had T.B. for the last 4 years. Doctors got qespaired of his case. He
started urine therapy on 15-1-62 and continued it for three months.
During the time, he never fasted but used to take cow's milk, bread,
Dal and vegetables without any condiments.. He could cure himself
completely and could walk two miies easily with vigour.
5. Shri Dhirajilal A. Desai (Gajendra Store, Ghee Bazar,
Nandarbar, West ~handesh) applied this therapy on different 92 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY
persons for T.B., ulcer, cold, asthma, kidney trouble and other small
or big maladies and could cure them without any failure.
6. Shri Harishchandra Desai from Baroda has informed that he
could cure his brother's T.B. by this therapy. In addition he could get
rid of his spectacles and piles too I He gained 15 lb. in one and a
half month's experiment.
7. Shri jashbhai M. Patel (Daresaalam, British East Aftica), Shri
Jamased N. Merchant (from Poona), Shri Rambhai H. Patel, Shri
Makanji B. Desai, (Kadhghar Kesot), Shri Ravajibhai Artist and Shri
Krisna, have stated that they were cured of T.B. and other maladies
by urine therapy. Their case histories were published in issues of
Bharat Sevak in 1962 and some of them orally related their. stories in
seminars on urine therapy.
CHAPTER V
COUGH AND COLD
Eosinophilia: I wish to have an account of the experiences of a
seasoned Vaidya who might have applied urine therapy. For this
purpose, I contacted Shri Bapalal Garbaddas, the well-known
Vaidya. As a good social worker, he experimented urine treatment
on himself and sent me the following report on the 70th November
1958:
"Nowadays the disease of Eosinophilia has become very
pervalent. In this disease, the number of red corpuscles is reduced,
and that of white increased. Its symptoms are cold, cdugh,
weakness and indigestion, etc. Sometimes it appears like an attack of
asthma. An examination of the blood, however, readily reveals the
disease. Arsenic injections or some medicines with arsenic to be
taken by mouth are prescribed for it as a sure remedy.
"I suffered from this disease, which still persists and troubles r.1e
to some extent. All of a sudden, the nose begins to discharge sticky COUGH-AND COLD : 93
water and phlegm, appetite is lost and body becomes pale. This
attack is feared in the cold season. It occurred to me that 1 shoud
have an experiment on urine treatment. I began the same on the
15th October 1958 and it still continues. I have been carrying on
this experiment for the last five weeks.
"Early in the morning whi:m I go for stools, I collect the entire
urine, leaving a little of it passed in the beginning in a glass-pot and
drink about 6 oz. of it after cleaning the hands, feet and mouth. The
remaining is rubbed on the face as I see some darkness there. It is
thousand times better to drink auto-urine than that of a cow. The
latter is ill-smelling and scarcely available fresh. The ~uta-urine is
pure and ready at hand. It does not give my distaste and ill-smell.
"The experime11t has been so successful that since then I am fre€
from cough and cold, motions are clear and the body is full of
vigour and strength. During the present winter, there is no trouble so
far. The non-recurrence of cold is really a big gain. According to
Sushruta, 'human urine' is a tonic and a poison killer. I strongly
recommend this treatment for cold and cough.
"Armstrong, the original writer, has advised urine treatment along
with fast.!n case of indigestion, obesity and loss of appetite fasting is
advisable. If absolute fast is not possible, diet must be reduced and
auto-urine should be taken. It is highly beneficial. The most effective
urine treatment is to sustain on urine alone.
"I feel thatthis experiment can be undertaken by all. I can assure
that there is absolutely no fear of any ill effect. 1 do not write as a
propagandist, but being a physician I write this with full sense of
responsibility."
Infantile Cold and Cough : My grandson Prashant, at the time of
birth weighed 4 112 lb. only. The normal weight of a baby is 7 lb. He
continually suffered from cold and cough since birth. It can be said
that doctor Ankleshwaria kept him alive by skill and injections. Up
to the age of three, his cold and cough continued in all the seasons
and so he grew up.
U.T.-9 94 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY
In spite of the belief in the efficacy in urine, he was not prepared
to drink it. He used to turn away his face and say, "Who can drink
urine? 11 I asked his mother tG rub urine on his body. The mother
continued rubbing regularly. As a result of it he was free from the
attack of cold, cough and fever in the last monsoon in spite of heavy
rains and is also free from the trouble during the cold season too.
There was a general improvement in his health also.
Now to make him drink auto-urine, I made a small
demonstration! I showed him a glass full of my urine and asked him
what it was. He looked at the glass and said, 11lt is urine.11
11See now, I drink it myself. There is nothing bad about

Many other cases could be cited.  But as I do not wish to swell  the bulk
of this book with an unnecessary  number  of case‐ sheets when a few
should be sufficient  to convince any but  the most  prejudiced,  I will

explode the dogma that gangrene  is incurable.
We will now provide evidence  which  should explode another medical
dogma‐namely the " incurability  " of cancer.

 CHAPTER  VI.
GROWTHS  AND CANCER  (?)

In 1912 the late Dr. F. Forbes‐Ross, of London, a fully qualified physician,
wrote  a book entitled Cancer ‐Its Genesis and Treatment.  He had during
twentyfive  years of practice  come to the conclusion  that malignancy
and  other  growths were due to a diet deficient in natural salts‐
especially  in potash. By putting his patients on a more  balanced  diet
(such  as I advocate),  and  administering  potash‐salts  in an assiminable
form, he cured a large  number  of cases of that dread disease; and  yet
after his death, not one of his colleagues  or one single hospital could be
induced to take up the treatmer,  ‐so firmly had  the dogma taken hold
of the Medical Profession  that cancer must  be treated exclusively  by
the knife or radium.  His book  is now out of print. But another  book by a
Surgeon, Mr. C. P. Childe, advocating  speedy interference  with the knife
the moment a lump looks  at all suspicious,  is still in print, or was so
until quite recently. (See  Doctors, Disease and Health, also Victory over
Cancer, and Health, Diet and Commonsense,  by Cyril  Scott.)
I am not  prepared to pronounce  on the merits or demerits  of Dr.
Forbes‐Ross's  method, for I have ‐  lot required to try it. But the
treatment  of his book shows  how little the spirit of democracy  prevails
in the Medical Profession,  and  should give intelligent  members  of the
public an inkling as to why cancer is still said to be an incurable  disease
pow that the dictum is no longer true… if it ever was strictly  true. It
would have been more  veracious  to say that many patients suffering 35
 from cancer have proved to be incurable.  But as I have elsewhere
implied, so have many patients suffering from influenza.
As for surgical treatment  of cancerous  growth,  the late Dr. Rabagliati,*
of Bradford,  admitted to me that in the earlier part of his career, before
I knew him, he had  performed  no fewer than five hundred major
operations  for growths, and that it was the uniform lack of success  with
the knife that had caused him to search for other means of more
effectively  treating cancer‐though unfortunately  in vain.
(*) Dr. Rabagliati  was well  known  in the Medical Profession,  and  his
name occurs in many medical books  published  both in this country and
in U.S.A.
My first  case  of medically  diagnosed  cancer was that of a nurse in the
late sixties.
