 You will not feel your best until you have
eliminated a large amount of the hidden toxic poisons from your body. It
takes time.
We don’t give special diets for special ailments. We believe in living a
100% healthy  lifestyl e. You must  slowly, through water fasting and eating
more raw organic fruits and vegetables, help your body detox and flush out
the heavy toxic poisons that have built up over the years!We live not upon what we eat, but upon what we digest.  – Abernethy
What wound did ever heal but by gentle degr ees. – William Shakespeare
Step 5: Reaping Health Benefits of Our
Environment
Our bodies are miracle  instrum ents. The cleaner they become through
The Toxicless Diet, Body Purification and Healing System, the more
oxygen they will absorb, which is the source of all life. A toxin-polluted
body can only take in so much oxygen when it is encumbered with so many
obstructions! As you purify your body, it will feast on the invisi ble foods of
the universe! Y our body will absorb more oxygen, more ener gy, more ozone
and more of the sun’s strength-giving, gentle rays. Think of it – living on
the invisible foods of Mother Nature! Babies do this – they eat only a small
amount of food, and mother ’s milk is only 3.5% protein. Have you ever
watched a healthy, active baby kick and wiggle and coo for hours at a time?
Where is the energy coming from? Not from the mother ’s milk with only
3.5% protein! That baby’ s body is so clean that was gathered from the
universe and the powerful, invisible nutrients. Look at the baby’ s delicate
skin, look at his wide, bright eyes, sunny smile and listen to his powerful
lungs support his cries when he wants something or he’ s wet!
Now look at the average perso n of 70 and notice their lifeless-looking
flesh! Their eyes may be cloude d with cataracts and eyelids drooping, and
also their posture, making them  look almost like human carica tures. Don’ t
tell us it is because they are 70 and the baby is only a few months old! The
difference is that the old man has been soaking up toxic poisons  for most of
his life. He is most likely suffering from toxemia – the clogging of his
human pipes and organs as a result of a lifelong intake of unhealthy, toxin-
forming foods as on page 21.
Experts in healing feel that illness, espec ially after an emotionally cataclysmic event such as the
death of someone close or a divor ce, is one way the body expresses energy that’s not being directed
towar ds true desir es and needs. Getting in touch with that which is truly important is not always
easy. Ways to overcome this problem and “reset” your life include keeping a journal, exploring your
unexamined self through group therapy, prayer, listening to quiet music, taking life one hour at aAngel
20 years youngtime, and learning to love and impr ove your physical body and tell yourself how gr eat you ar e! Life is
a series of moments that you can take car e of – make the most of them. – New W oman
Feed Your Pets as Well as You Do Yourself!
A man at 70 really might have only lived half his lifetime! We support this
statement with the fact that most animals live from 5 to 7 times their rate of
maturity. Years ago we had an older pet dog that was about to go into heat.
Determined that she would bear the healthiest litter possible, we fed her an
extra super -balanced nutritional diet, supplemented with vitamins. We kept
one of her pups  and called him “Vitamin”. He was a healthy and beautiful
pup. We kept him that way throughout his 154 years of life (22 dog years) by
feeding him only nutritious foods and fasting him 1 day a week!
Our buddy and friend “Vitamin ” enjoyed eating almost everything we
ate: beans, brown rice, lentils, carrots and other vegetables – these we
mixed with his healthily-prepared dog food. W e also sprinkled over his food
Bragg Nutritional Yeast flakes (nutritious in B-complex vitamins, boron,
etc.) to enhance  his health and it helps keep fleas away. He liked his water
“spiked” with dash of Bragg Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar which
helped keep his body germ-free! ACV also helped keep his body limber and
free from the stif fness of arthritis.
Most dogs and cats enjoy smal l slices of raw beef heart
and chew ing on large bones, and so did “Vitamin”. To this
day all our dogs and cats live a healthy life, free of disease
and health problems. Yes, our “Vitamin” did live to be 154
years, since relative to human years, a dog or cat’s years are
equivalent to 7 years of human life. He lived 22 years, and
was still an active dog until he was hit by a car.
Here’ s “Angel,” my faithful friend for 20 years. Every day
she walk s to our Bragg office with Lesley, my assistant, where she spends
the day supervi sing our staff. We keep her in good health on the same
program “Vitamin” followed. Daily she’s brushed, massaged and exercised.
She loves fast walking and running, and has never been sick, fat or mean.
Her teeth are perfect and her breath is sweet. She fasts one day a week and
this helps keep her youthful. She prances, runs and wags her tail when
excited, like a puppy. Angel knows she is loved and appreciated!Step 6: The “No Big Breakfast” Program
Our combined experience of over 140 years has proven to us that a
carefully selected and progressiv ely changed Transition Diet is the best way
for every person to obtain their fulfilling goal of Total Health. But when
people still live on unhealthy, refined foods, they must not eat too many
fresh fruits and vegetables at first. Also every person must learn, if they
truly want to attain perfection, they should not eat a heavy morning
breakfast that saps their energy! See Bragg Healthy Energy Smoothie, page
122.
You will continually hear peop le say, “Breakfast is the most important
meal of the day.” This is simply not true! Scientifically, it takes a
tremendous amount of nervous energy to chew, digest, absorb and eliminate
a typical American breakfast. The average person believes that a hearty
breakfast is going to give them strength. They believe this having been
brainwashed by TV and print commercials and propaganda created for the
producers of modern breakfast products: cereals, breads, pancakes, waf fles,
eggs, sausage, bacon, tea, coffee, cocoa, milk, etc. It’s in their financial
interest to have people believi ng they need a big breakfast for lots of
energy.
Toxic Wastes are Poisons and Slow Killers!
If we could only burn into your consciousness the one simple fact that
toxic wastes are poisonous agents that deteriorate and slowly kill human
flesh, we’d feel that half of our work is accomplished! Naturally an adult
that lives an active life in the sun and the fresh air is going to have a more
mature skin than a 5-month-old baby, but that doesn’ t mean it must appear
to be an old skin! We have seen men and women in their 80s, 90s and older
who barely had a wrinkle or line on their face. Dr. John Harvey Kellogg
was one of the greatest American Health Doctors who ever lived. The last
time my father saw him, the famous doctor was giving a health lecture in
his ninety-third year! He had the skin of a young man and a smooth face
that literally shined with health like a polished apple! This is what my father
and I wish for you, our new health friend and reader – a body glowing with
super, optimum health for a long, happy life!Be a Bragg Health Crusader! Copy page and shar e with family, friends, etc.
Don’t Let Johnny Appleseed’ s
Dream Die!
The legendary “Johnny Appleseed” (John Chapman) “the apple tree angel” wander ed the wilds
of Eastern America in the early 1800 ’s planting apple trees. Over 200 years later some of these
trees are still bearing fruit. But in today’ s world large seed companies are striving to make what
Johnny Appleseed did illegal. Giant compa nies like Monsanto, producer of the Terminator Seeds
(page 61 – see websites), are striving to stop farm ers worldwide from saving and reusing their
seeds from year to year. They requir e farmers to sign a licensing agreement which strongly
prohibits the reuse of Monsanto seeds. They even hire investigators like Pinkerton Detective
Agency and have others spy on their neighbors to identify farmers who break their contracts. It’s
bad enough they have  turned America’ s heartland into a farming police-state – but it’s absolutely
unfor givable that they seek to keep third-world farmers (who usually can’t affor d to buy new
seeds every  year) from feeding billions of people who depend on their crops. Johnny Appleseed,
one of the


 text, furthering the practice of acupuncture in
France.
During the mid-1800s Chinese immigrants building railro ads and
mining gold in the United States brought their medicine with them.
For the most part it rema ined within the Chinese community.
However, a few exceptions occurred in the Northwest, where local
settlers beneted from the care of Chinese doctors. Historical
records from the towns of John Day, Oregon, and Boise, Idaho,
indicate that Chinese doctors successfully treated respiratory,
digestive, and reproductive infections, as well as arthritis and
symptoms of cardiovascular disease. Pioneer women who were
unable to conceive were helped to bear healthy children.
Meanwhile, European and American missionaries had been
exporting Western medicine to China. The Chinese were very
impressed with surgical technique, vaccinations, and the means of
hygiene and sanitation that helped reduce the spread of infectious
diseases, wound sepsis, and the mortality of women followingchildbirth. Western industrial and medical technology came to be
associated with progress. By the time penicillin was developed in
the 1940s, traditional medical institutions in China had been
signicantly replaced by the more highly prized Western medical
schools.
In 1949, the year of the Chinese revolution, there were 10,000
Western-trained doctors for 400 million people. At this time the
550,000 traditional doctors recovered their stature within the
medical establ ishment because of the dire need for more doctors
and a fervent desire to reassert faith in China’s own cultural legacy.
Since 1949 traditional medicine has been revived and incorporated
as a mandatory part of the training in many modern medical
schools. Resea rchers there now investigate the bioch emistry of
herbal constituents and the electrophysiology of acupuncture points
to trace their impact on the healing mechanisms of the body.
Still, in many life-threatening situations, only Western medical
and surgical techniques are appropriate. Functional disorders
constitute a middle ground where either system may be elected. In
chronic degenerative illnesses for which Western medicine has little
to oer, traditional medicine is a welcome option. Some Chinese
hospitals accom modate alternate oors for Western and traditional
care, with doctors selecting what best suits their patients’ needs. In
some circumstances both systems work in concert. For instance,
Western surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy is used to control
cancer, while traditional Chinese medicine is used to strengthen the
body and enhance immunity, enabling the person to better tolerate
treatment.
During the 1950s and 1960s when traditional medicine was being
reintegrated in its homeland, travel, commerce, and exchange
between the United States and China was highly restricted. In 1972,
the year when then-Presid ent Nixon unstrapped the political
restraints upon our relationship with the People’s Republic,
acupuncture needles passed from East to West. At this time our class
of Americans at the College  of Acupuncture was preparing to use
these needles on American bodies.While in China, New York Times  journa list James Reston had an
emergency appendectomy, and his postoperative abdominal pain
was relieved by an acupun cture needle in his leg. It appeared
particularly spectacular because it was so little understood.
Realizing that Qi travers es the body through channels, it becomes
less enigmatic that toothache s can be relieved by the stimulation of
a point along a pathway that connects the mouth to the hand or
foot. Learning that white fungus reduces blood cholestero l levels, it
no longer seems a miracle that people who live in regions in China
where it is part of the diet have lower incidences of heart  attacks. It
is comm on knowledge among Chinese that pseudoginseng powder
stops hemorrhage, chrysanthemum ower tea will relieve a bilious
headache, and black mushrooms increase immunity.
Since the dawn of this century the West has been exporting
medical techn ology and pharmaceuticals to the East. In the last
quarter of this century the medicinal treasures of the Orient have
been imported to the West. In 1976 Efrem and I were among the
rst two hund red and ten practitioners to receive an acupuncture
license from the California State Board of Medical Quality
Assurance. Nationally there are now between six and ten thousand
practitioners of Chinese medicine, and two dozen other states have
instituted licensure programs. Two decades ago there were no
colleges of Chinese medicine  in this country; now there  are more
than twenty. What began as a handful of books on the subject has
grown to a library of more than four hundred titles, many of which
are translations of Chinese texts.
MIRACLES  EAST AND  WEST
The advantages of integrating Western and Chinese medicine were
dramatized for Efrem and me following the birth of our son in 1975.
Born with two gaping holes  in a swollen heart, Bear’s life would
have been eclipsed without surgical intervention. After diagnosing
his problem by injecting a dye into his heart that projected an image
on a video screen, our cardiologist determined it was possible forthe holes to be closed with Dacron patches. If he had been born
twenty years earlier when open-heart surgery for infants had not yet
been develope d, his heart could not have been repaired. We were
grateful that miracles existed in the West.
Following surgery, because of his fragile constitution, he was
subject to countless bouts of bronchitis and upper- respiratory
infection. In San Francisco we studied herbs with local Chinese
doctors. When  Bear was able to swallow herbal pills, they became
incorporated into his routine along with breakfast and lunch. We
used certain formulas for overcoming acute illness and others as a
tonic for strengthening him, improving his resistance. Eventually he
rebued the onslaught of winter colds even when his schoolmates
succumbed. Now as a teenager Bear radiates the health we had
hoped for from his birth. We were grateful for miracles of the East
as well.
In 1980, after eight years of practicing acupuncture, Efrem went
to China to further study the use of herbs and experience Chinese
medicine in its native habitat. A Western-style dispensary stood
alongside the herbal pharmacy at the Kunming Railway Workers
Hospital. A special kitchen brewed individual herb teas, delivering
fresh medicine to both inpatients and out-patients.
Efrem’s teache r, Dr. Zheng Wen Tao, was rst trained as a
Western physician. Later he was asked to return to schoo l to study
traditional medicine. He combined classical knowledge  with the
ndings of modern research,  producing herbal formulas particularly
eective for treating cardiovascular and immune disorders. Dr.
Zheng Wen Tao was partic ularly renowned for his treatment of
intractable diseases. Efrem witnessed the gradual remission of
scleroderma in a young woman after one year of herbal treatment.
Scleroderma, an autoimmune disease, is marked by the progressive
hardening of connective tissue, considered both fatal and
untreatable by Western medicine. This young woman had been told
that she had one year to live. Instead, during that year she reversed
the course of her illness and regained health. Zheng Wen Tao is the
epitome of the modern Chine se medical hero, able to unite modern
science with classical tradition. When Efrem returned home, weexpanded our use of herbal medicine in the treatment of our
acupuncture patients, setting up an herbal pharmacy in our
acupuncture clinic.
A F OREIGN  CULTURE  PLANTED ON  HOME SOIL
Some people tend to dismiss Chinese medicine for not conforming to
the modern medical model, while others tend to romanticize and
mystify it. Some discount it because it is not modern, others revere
it because it is old. The former group considers it eccentric
quackery, and the latter considers it a panacea. It is clear to us that
it is a system unto itself, altogether distinct from a trendy health fad
or other therapies considere d to be holistic or alternat ive. It has
endured for centuries not only because its techniques produce
tangible result s, but because it embodies a coherent philosophy that
integrates many aspects of human life.
Western medicine has had a monopoly not only on our medicine
cabinets, but also on our minds. Now other possibilities exist. More
and more people are receiving acupuncture, so far several million
Americans, and Chinese herbs are nding the way onto their
shelves. Within the next decade medicinal foods will be simmering
in stainless-ste el pots, making the exotic aromas and avors of
China as familiar to us as chicken soup. Americans, like the Chinese,
are quite pragmatic—Chinese medicine meets their need, so people
try it; it helps, so they come back for more.
By familiarizing yourself with its concepts, you will be able to
judge if and when it is a tting option for you. Spotting yourself
within its categories will help you better understand your behavior
and feelings, the ways you express your health, and the ways you
fall ill. By the end, we hope you will be able to interpret yourself
amply enough to acquire the rudimentary know-how to initiate
personal change.*Specially dened Chinese medical terms are italicized and capitalized throug hout the text
to dieren tiate them from their commo n meaning, such as heart as


 which must be taken into the blood and
disposed of by the excretory organs of the body which are
always worked to their normal capacity to carry off the waste
products that come from our own body; and when laden with
that of another animal, they are often taxed beyond their
power.
Second, recent experiments in the States of Ohio and
Illinois developed the fact that about 36 per cent. of the best
cattle in these two States are di seased. The majority of them
have tuberculosis. All readers of this book may not be willing
to wholly eschew the juicy sirloin, or even the fat pork chop;
but we do believe that when they have thought the matter
seriously over without the cons ultation of appetite, they will
decide that the flesh of another animal is not only hazardous,
but wholly unnecessary as an article of food.
If one decides that meats are absolutely necessary, it
should be his object to take it in its best and most nutritive
form. Cooking cannot possibly improve it. The only change
that heat could possibly make w ould be to convert part of its
nutritive value into heat and p ass it off into the atmosphere.
Inasmuch, therefore, as heat is merely an expression of
energy, the energy or heat lost in cooking might be applied to
the body if the meat were eaten without the application of
fire.
The most popular reason given for cooking meat is that it
kills disease germs. In the first place, nothing should be eaten
that contains disease germs, and in the second place, heat
does not kill them. The germs cannot be destroyed until the
meat is destroyed of which they are a part. In partly cooked or
rare meats no germs are destroyed, and it is admitted by all
authorities that rare meats are more easily digested and far
more nutritious than those we ll done. There is no reason why
the rare meat idea should not be carried to its logical end, and
the food served entirely raw.
In the form of meat there is nothing more nourishing than
beefsteak a la Tartar (see recipe), or Hamburger steak,
uncooked, dried beef, jerked ve nison, etc. All of these are
much to be preferred to the cooked article.
If cooking were abolished the taste and requirements of
the body would very soon solve the meat question. People
would eat shell fish, dried and smoked meat, and possibly
beefsteak a la Tartar so long as the body called for or
demanded them, and no longer. This would also solve several other great questions with which misguided individuals,
societies, churches, political parties and State legislatures are
vainly struggling.
It is impossible to keep alive the appetite for such
stimulants as tobacco, fermented and distilled liquors, tea and
coffee, when the body is correctly fed. A being who subsists
upon clean, elementary foods would have no more desire for
stimulants and narcotics than a horse or a dog would have for
a Manhattan cocktail.
It is the changing, the perverting, the cooking and the
artificializing of foods that creates and keeps alive these
abnormal desires. If we feed the body upon elementary foods,
in the state in which nature created them, we can depend upon
it to suggest to us daily that  which it needs. The strange
faculty of hunger was made a part of the human organism, to
perform this specific work.
NUTS.

NUTS, one of the best articles of food known to science, the
thing which helped to lift primitive man from a gibbering
anthropoid to the Greek Apollo, are by many people the most
misunderstood and maligned articles in all the dietetic
catalogue. The nut is commonly used now, and for many
decades has been used, as a confec tion, or to finish off the
alleged good dinner; and while it was the only decent article
of diet eaten during the feast, yet owing to its geographical
position in the "potpourri" it was charged up with a lot of
mischief for which it was in no wise responsible. There are
many intelligent people who sincerely believe the nut to be an
indigestible and harmful article  of food, and we quite agree
with them when it is eaten about number 21 at a swell course
dinner. But when given an opportunity and eaten as a decent
nut should be, it is one of the most delicious, harmless,
healthful and hygienic articles of food that ever graced a
civilized table.
It is encouraging, however, when we know that the nut is
rapidly gaining in appreciation and popularity. The great fool
reform movement that is now sweeping over this country and
civilized Europe has caused thousands of people to abandon
the use of flesh foods, and the natural substitute therefor is
nuts.
The pecan nut, which has been  considered in the South
for many decades as a wild, prodigal growth of no great
importance, is now being cultiv ated, harvested and husbanded
as one of the most profitable, as well as one of the most
important, articles of food gr own in that balmy clime.
The Agricultural Department of our national government
has just published a pamphlet on the subject of budding and
growing the pecan. Pecan orchards are being planted in
various localities in the South, and several States have
adopted measures to encourage this industry. During the next
few years this movement will undoubtedly receive the
attention it has so long merited. It looks as though within the
next few years we might see the boundless plains of Texas
converted into pecan orchards instead of cattle ranches. It
looks as though in the near future we might see great pecan
shelling mills instead of the slaughter house. The food
elements necessary to sustain life are probably better
proportioned in the pecan than in any other nut known. There
are over fifty varieties of this splendid nut now grown in the
Southern States.
In any large market can be found from fifteen to eighteen
different kinds of nuts, all of which possess very superior life-
giving properties.
Nuts are especially to be recommended as an article of
food, owing to the fact that they have not yet been very much
contaminated by the cook stove. The lowly peanut, which has
hitherto been considered wort hy of no place on the American table, possesses most excellent food properties, equal to some
and superior to many of th e more expensive varieties.
Nuts should be thoroughly masticated. They should be
reduced by the teeth to a perfect emulsion before entering the
stomach, and not more than two ounces eaten at a meal. Two
ounces of pure fat is enough to supply the demands of a
normal body for twenty-four hours. By consulting our table
on nuts, a correct idea can be ga ined as to the quantity of each
variety that should be consumed each day. Almonds, peanuts
and Brazil nuts should be blanched—that is, the inner
covering should be removed before eating.
It is amazing to think of the kind of food that alleged
civilized people subsist upon, when nature spreads before
them its vast fields and stores of fruits and nuts that have
waved to and fro in the pure air and sunshine, that have
drawn their substances from old Mother Earth and filtered
them through a hundred feet of pure white wood—life-giving
substances that have responded to the warm embraces of
summer and spring—substances that have fed the swelling
bud, burst it into bloom, and filled it with fragrance and
honey, sweet as Araby's fabled rose—foods born from the
fecund womb of Mother Earth, fed on the fragrance and
wrapped in the many-hued swaddling clothes of odorous
blossoms, and rocked by ever y pure and passing breeze in the
life-giving cradle of summer and spring, and nursed to
maturity at the breast of maternal nature and cooked by the
fires of the eternal sun.
FRUITS.

IN subsisting upon elementary foods, fruits constitute the
second most important article of diet. They occupy a most
conspicuous place in the needs of the human body. The
succulent class, such as appl es, oranges, grapes, peaches,
plums, pineapples, and all the juicy berries, possess great
germicidal properties, in addition to their value as food. They
seem to be designed by nature to destroy pathogenic bacteria
in other foods while giving to the body their own nutrition.
It would astonish the average omnivorous Englishman or
American to know what magnificent specimens of manhood
are built almost entirely from fruits in some of the South Sea
Islands. According to the most authentic history of man, fruits
were undoubtedly his first and primitive diet. Primitive man
was active, nimble and agile. Fr uits left no deposits in his
veins and arteries to, age and stiffen them. Fruits made for
him pure blood, and breathing the open air kept it pure. His
surplus energy demanded activity which kept the pure blood
surging through his veins. Long life, superior power and
endurance were the results.
It is a hopeful sign, however, for the future health and
longevity of our race that the demand for and consumption of


ness	itself	as	a	legitimate	subject	of	study.	It	is	considered	that
the	science	of	consciousness	is	the	most	fruitful	area	for	investigation	to
further	man’s	evolution.
Q:	Why	is	the	evolution	of	consciousness	so	important?
A:	To	mankind,	this	expansion	of	awareness	is	crucial,	for	without	it,
humanity	has	been	at	an	impasse.	The	main	area	in	which	man	has	evolved
in	the	last	thousand	years	has	been	in	technology.	The	quality	of	life
improved	but	remained	at	an	impasse	for	the	majority	of	the	world’s
population.	Humanity’s	most	basic	problems,	such	as	poverty,	crime,
addiction,	emotional	and	psychiatric	disorders,	war,	and	conflict,	have
predominated	continuously	for	thousands	of	years.	In	just	this	lifetime,
there	have	been	two	world	wars,	the	Great	Depression,	disease	epidemics,
burgeoning	populations,	and	increasing	problems	with	crime,	drugs,	and
poverty.	Primarily	in	the	area	of	medicine	has	real	progress	been	made,
with	the	elimination	of	disease	and	help	for	mental	illness.
					Until	1986,the	consciousness	of	mankind,	as	we	have	pointed	out,
remained	in	the	destructive,	negative	range	below	200.	While	it	stood	at
190,	humanity	was	trapped	in	the	level	of	suffering.	Popular	proposed
solutions	for	social	problems,	such	as	fascism,	communism,	dictatorships,
and	utopian	schemes,	all	turned	out	to	be	worse	than	the	original
conditions	for	which	they	were	proposed	to	solve.	Even	religion	became	a
great	oppressor	and	was	embroiled	in	and	supportive	of	slaughter	and
cruelties	of	immense	proportion.
					The	corruption	of	power	invaded	every	area	of	human	activity.	The
progress	that	did	occur	in	society	originated	from	and	was	sustained	by	the
minority	of	the	population	that	calculated	at	over	level	200.	Thus,	we
could	suspect	that	medicine	and	science,	which	are	both	in	the	400s,	wouldbe	a	major	contributor	of	positive	benefits.	Industry,	in	the	300s,	has	also
been	a	benefactor	to	society.	In	contrast,	even	now,	it	is	significant	that	the
majority	of	the	world’s	population	still	calibrates	below	the	level	of
Integrity	at	200.
					This	mass	negativity	has	continued	to	be	counterbalanced	by	the	small
minority	of	the	population	that	is	in	the	very	high	positive	range.	It	is
sufficient	to	counterbalance	the	gross	negativity	of	the	masses	that,	if	not
counterbalanced,	would	result	in	the	destruction	of	mankind.
					With	an	overall	consciousness	level	of	190,	nuclear	annihilation	of
mankind	was	not	only	a	possibility	but	also	a	likelihood.	Bombs	that	could
annihilate	all	human	life	on	the	planet	were	actually	under	consideration
and	planning	by	militaristic	nations	to	use	as	a	vindictive	retaliation	in
case	of	a	military	defeat.	The	prophesied	‘end	times’	came	very	close	to
manifesting.	The	prophecy	signal	was	to	be	whether	the	great	bear	of	the
north,	that	is,	Russia	(the	USSR),	remained	atheist	or	turned	back	to	God.
The	fall	of	monolithic,	atheistic	communism	signaled	a	shift	in	balance
from	190	to	207	for	all	mankind,	which	precluded	the	destruction	of
humanity.
					Although,	historically,	the	tendency	is	to	blame	specific	leaders	for	any
catastrophes,	in	actuality,	they	do	not	succeed	without	the	support	of	the
masses	who,	if	below	200,	are	vulnerable	to	distorted	concepts,	slogans,
propaganda,	and	mass	programming	by	hatred,	revenge,	pride,	anger,	and
greed.	Therefore,	it	is	crucial	to	the	evolution	of	mankind	that	its	overall
consciousness	level	be	kept	above	200.
					In	contrast,	in	a	recent	opinion	poll	in	the	United	States,	seventy-nine
percent	of	the	respondents	favored	capital	punishment.	This	is	so	even
though	it	is	blatantly	a	violation	of	all	major	spiritual	teachings.	In
addition,	current	publicly	reported	studies	show	that	the	homicide	rate	is
highest	in	the	states	that	still	use	capital	punishment	and	lowest	in	the
states	that	have	stopped	it.	All	of	this	opinion	occurs	in	a	society	that	has
increasingly	been	made	aware	of	the	frequency	with	which	innocent
people	have	been	put	to	death	to	such	a	degree	that	governors	have	been
declaring	a	moratorium	on	the	death	penalty.	The	consciousness	level	of
America	is	currently	at	425.
					The	consciousness	level	that	supports	the	death	penalty	is	below	200
and	is	historically	associated	with	the	‘spleen’,	considered	the	seed	of
hatred,	vindictiveness,	cruelty,	and	revenge,	which	are,	interestingly,	the
same	level	as	that	of	murder	itself.	Therefore,	the	consequences	in
consciousness	of	murder	are	apparently	the	same	whether	the	accused	is
deemed	innocent	or	guilty.Q:	Why	is	there	such	limited	understanding	and	confusion	about
Creation?
A:	The	problem	is	merely	that	of	paradigms.	In	the	linear	Newtonian
dimension	with	its	limitations	of	belief	in	linear	causality,	the	‘cause’	of
the	universe	is	sought	in	time	and	place.	This,	of	course,	begs	the	question,
and	actually	is	an	insolvable	riddle,	as	it	would	lead	to	an	infinite
regression	of	what	would	be	the	cause	of	the	cause	of	the	primary	cause.
					Understanding	of	the	totality	requires	inclusion	of	understanding	from
both	the	linear	and	the	nonlinear	dimensions.	Creation	bursts	forth	from
the	nonlinear	infinite	source	of	Creation	as	a	continuous	process	outside
time	and	space.	In	this	unfoldment,	the	unmanifest	‘Transcendent’
becomes	the	manifest	‘Immanent’.	The	immanent	then	powers
transformation	via	evolution,	which	is	merely	the	unfolding	of	the	forms
of	Creation	to	appearance.	Thus,	the	universe	does	not	have	a	‘cause’	but
instead	has	its	Source	in	the	unmanifest.
					With	a	little	reflection,	it	is	quite	apparent	that	Creation	could	not
possibly	be	a	stationary	‘event’	in	time	or	the	Creator	would	also	have	to
be	limited	in	time	and	place.	By	that	limitation	alone,	the	Creator	would	be
unable	to	create	because	of	limitation.	Infinite	power	is	beyond	form.	Only
the	formless	has	the	power	to	create	form.
					The	unenlightened	human	mind	is	incapable	of	comprehending	infinite
power.	It	tries	to	capture	an	understanding	but	uses	the	wrong	tools	to	do
so.	The	answers	cannot	be	found	in	the	paradigm	of	linear	causality,	which
is	a	paradigm	of	force	based	on	the	notion	of	‘causality’	as	an	explanation.
Q:	In	the	ongoing,	endless	social	arguments	between	the	religious
creationists	and	the	evolutionists,	both	sides	are	incorrect?
A:	That	is	apparently	the	reason	for	the	lack	of	resolution	of	the	conflict.
Biblical	creationists	make	the	same	error	as	scientists	and	skeptics	in
assuming	there	was	a	‘roll	of	the	dice’	creator	who	created	the	whole
universe	in	time	and	place	and	then	withdrew	elsewhere	to	‘heaven’.
Evolutionists	also	miss	the	whole	point	as	well.	Creation	is	ongoing	and
continuous	due


 a sensation boosted these people's egos tremendously.
Unfortunately, opportunistic cult leaders saw in this way of thinking an
opportunity to control the simple-minded masses, so they created a varia
tion of the original exercise. This variation encourages constant concentra
tion to generate heat (energy) in the navel area and constant concentra tion
to send that energy directly to any comer of the body. By teaching this
exercise to unsuspecting people, cult leaders were able to generate a large
186 Tao ist Medit ative, Contemplative, and Breathing F.xercises
following. Their followers were told that constant and ritualized use of this
exercise, and only this exercise, gave them godly powers that could
immediately make them impervious to all lethal weapons and all diseases
and make them great and immortal at the same time. So whenever the
followers needed a psychological lift, they would generate some heat in the
abdomen and then use their minds to send the heat (energy) directly from
the abdomen to the sexual organs or any other place in the body at will, in
order to become "holy", to feel elated or energitic, or become "immor
tal'' (even though they had no idea what the characteri stics of energy
were). As a result many died from the lack of proper medical care, mental
and physical illnesses (caused by misguided interference with the delicate
workings of the body), robbing raids led by cult leaders (the followers were
beholden to their leaders for making them immortal, so they willingly did
what their leaders demanded), rebellions (also led by cult leaders), and
executio ns (in the hands of the local magistrates).
By researching the historical records, one can trace the development of a
simple exercise into a cause of widespread chaos and mental illness among
the poor and illiterate. These records show that the altered form of the
exercise causes loss of appetite, hallucinations, uncontrolled shaking and
trembling of the entire body (nerve damage), impotence, infertility,
accelerated aging, cancers, schizophrenia, and moral corruption (incests,
promiscuity, murders, and so on). The cult members were like walking
time-bombs, and because their conditions were incurable, the local magis
trates were required by law to execute them.
The powerful mind, like a nuclear bomb, must be handled carefully.
Over-concen tration can lead to imbalance. Since Taoism stresses that
balance is the key to mental and physical health, anything that is overused
is capable of causing imbalance and is therefore distinct from true Taoism.
True Taoists teach that the Concen tration Exercise is learned in two steps:
I. CONCENTRATING
2. FORGETIING
You are probably already familiar with such a process. For instance, when
you first learned how to ride a bicycle, you had to concen trate very hard to
balance yourself, otherw ise an accident would occur. Then, when your
riding skills improved so much that you rode as if you were walking, you
naturally forgot to concen trate; otherw ise, mulling over every movement at
that advanced stage would cause a big accident.
187 Taoist Medita tive, Contempl ative, and Breathing Exe rcises
BREATHING EXERC ISES
There are many kinds of breathing besides the regular, in/out breathing
of normal, everyday life. One of these-the Crane breathing-has been
explained earlier. Other techniques include the following exercises. All of
these exercises bring about a myriad of health benefits, including the ability
to last 50% longer during deman ding physical performance s such as ballet,
gymnastic s, etc.
The Reverse Crane I
This exercise allows thorough gaseous exchange to take place in the lung
and stomach tissues because it passes the air slowly throughout the lungs
and stomach. Such thorough exchanges of oxygen and carbon dioxide
usually do not occur with the regular method of breathing.
This exercise may be practiced in the mornings or evenings while
standing, sitting, or while assuming a prone position.
I. Begin by exhaling slowly. As you do this, pull the stomach in so
that air is pushed out of the stomach and the lungs. You want to
imagine that every drop of air is leaving the stomach and lungs.
2. After you exhale comple tely, begin to inhale slowly and extend
the lungs outward so that your chest expands in all directio ns. Try not
to allow the stomach to expand-pull it in tightly. You want to use
only the muscles in the chest while doing the first half of this exercise.
3. When the lungs are full, hold your breath for a while, to prevent
the air from escaping from or entering into the lungs, and to allow full
gaseous exchange to take place.
4. Next, slowly pull your chest in to contract the lungs. As you do so,
slowly push out your stomach so that it become s like a balloon. This
series of actions pushes the air out of the lungs and into the stomach.
5. After retaining the air in the abdomen for a while, slowly contract
the stomach and let the air out directly from the mouth. At first the
exercise may be difficult to do. but with continued practice, you will
be able to fill and empty the abdomen quite easily.
6. One complete inhale followed by an exhale comprises one round
of breathing. At first, you will only be able to perform two or three
188 Taoist Medita tive, Contem plative, and Breathing Exercises
a. b.
c. d.
Figures 98a-98d. Reverse Crane I.
189 Taoist Medit ative, Contempl ative, and Breathing Exercises
rounds of breathing at one sitting. Eventually you want to perform
twelve rounds. Always remember to do the exercise slowly.
NOTE: Women are cautioned not to perform this exercise during
pregnancy as the in/out motions of the abdomen may create un
pleasant feelings within the abdomen.
Besides allowing full oxygenation and invigoration of the bodily tissues,
this exercise also tones abdominal tissues and enlarges the chest. It also
encourages deeper regular breathing and full elimina tion of stagnant gases
that are often retained in the lower portion of the lungs.
The Reverse Crane II
This exercise differs slightly from the first in these repects : the air is drawn
into the upper portion of the lungs and later held in the stomach for as long
as possible before it is exhaled.
This exercise may be done in any position, at any time of day.
I. Begin exhaling slowly by pulling in the stomach muscles. Use the
stomach and diaphragm to squeeze every bit of air out of the stomach
and lungs.
2. After you exhale completel y, begin to inhale slowly to expand and
fill the entire upper portion of the lungs. Keep the stomach in -you
want to use only the muscles of the upper lungs.
3. When the upper portion of the lungs is full, hold your breath a
while to prevent air from escaping and to allow full gaseous exchange
to take place.
4. Now slowly pull the chest in to contract the lungs. Squeeze the air
out of the lungs and into the stomach. As you do so expand the
stomach slightly to accommodate the inflow of air.
5. Hold the air in the stomach for as long as possible. Then slowly let
the air out the stomach. Exhale it directly to the outside.
6. One complet e inhale followed by a complete exhal e comprises
one round of breathing. You may do as many rounds as you wish, but
you snould not carry it to an excess.
NOTE: At first you may not be able to hold the air inside the stomach
very long. But with practice, you will be able to hold the air for a long
190 Taoist Medita tive, Contempl ative, and Breathing Exercises
time. Also, when you do the exercise, try to decelerate the inhalations
and exhalations so that the stream of air will not even stir the hairs of
the nostrils. These techniques will make you appear calm and strong
through any rigorous activity, since you will not need to hyperventi
late for air.
Using this technique during strenuous external exercise will improve
your performance by as much as fifty percent. It supplies the body with all
the oxygen and energy it needs throughout any rigorous performance as it
eliminates the signs of hyperventilation, beautifying any performance
tremendo usly. So the person who uses this technique will not tire easily,
even after hours of non-stop activity. For these reasons, the breathing
technique was adopted by the Oslo Ballet School in Norway. Gymna sts
who have adopted this technique experienced a tremendous improvement
in their perform ance. Research done on the effects of the technique upon
athletes during their routines showed that their lasting power increased by
as much as 50%.
Bone Breathing
We need a certain amount of tension to live, as the total absence of
tension means death. However, it is a medical fact that excessive tension
and stress cause disease, quite probably even cancer. Taoists have under
stood for centuries that the best way to protect against disease is to give
oneself a full body and mind relaxation at least once a day. Relaxation is

 emotion into a personal
problem and into suf fering. Loss of Now is loss of Being.T o be free of time is to be free of the psychological need of past for your
identity and future for your fulf illment. It represents the most profound
transformation o f consciousness that you can imagine. In some rare
cases, this shift in consciousness happens dramatically and radically,
once and for al l. When it doe s, it usually comes about thro ugh total
surrender in the midst of intens e suf fering. Most people, however, have
to work at it.
When you have had your first few glimpses of the timeless state of
consciousness, you begin to move back and forth between the
dimensions of time and presence. First you become aware of just how
rarely your attention is truly in  the Now. But to know  that you are not
present is a grea t success: That k nowing is  pres ence — eve n if initially it
only lasts for a couple of seconds of clock time before it is lost again.
Then, w ith increasing frequency, you choose  to  have the foc us of your
consciousness in the present moment rather than in the past or future,
and whenever you realize that you had lost the Now, you are able to stay
in it not just for a couple of seconds, but for longer periods as p erceived
from the external perspective o f clock time. So before you are firmly
established in the state of presen ce, which is to say before you are fully
conscious, you shift back and f orth for a while between consc iousness
and unconscious ness, between the state of presence and the state of mind
identification. Y ou lose the Now, and you return to it, again an d again.
Eventually, presence becomes your predominant state.
For mos t people, presence is experienced either never at all or only
accidentally and briefly on rare occasions without being recognized for
what it is. Most humans alte rnate not between consciousness and
unconsciousness but only between dif ferent levels of unconsciousness.
ORDINAR Y UNCONSCIOUSNESS
 AND DEEP UNCONSCIOUSNESS
What do you mean by differ ent levels of unconsciousness?

As you probably know, in sleep you constantly move between the phases
of dream less sleep and the drea m state. Similarly, in wakefulness mostpeople only shift between ordinary unconsciousness an d deep
unconsciousness. What I call ordinary unconsciousness means being
identified with your thought processes and emotions, your reactions,
desires, and aversions. It is most people’ s normal state. In that s tate, you
are run by the egoic mind, and you are unaware of Being. It is a state not
of acute  pain or unhappiness but of an almost continuous low level of
unease, disconte nt, boredom, or nervousness — a kind of background
static. Y ou may not realize this because it is so much a part of “normal”
living, ju st as you are not aware  of a continuous low backgrou nd noise,
such as the hum  of an air conditioner, until it stops. When it suddenly
does stop, there is a sense of relief. Many people use alcohol, dr ugs, sex,
food, work, television, or even s hopping as anesthetics in an unc onscious
attempt to remove the basic une ase. When this happens, an act ivity that
might be  very enjoyable if used in moderation becomes imbue d with a
compulsive or addictive quality, and all that is ever achieved thr ough it is
extremely short-lived symptom relief.
The unease of ordinary unconsciousness turns into the pain of deep
unconsciousness — a state of more acute and more obvious suf fering or
unhappiness — when things “go wrong,” when the ego is threatened or
there is a major  challenge, threat, or loss, real or imagined, in your life
situation or confl ict in a relationship. I t is an intensified version of
ordinary unconsciousness, dif ferent from it not in kind but in degree.
In o rdinary unconsciousness, ha bitual resistance to or denial o f what is
creates the unease and discontent that most people accept as normal
living. When this resistance becomes intensified through some challenge
or threat to the ego, it brings up intense negativity such as ang er, acute
fear, aggression, depression, and so on. Deep unconsciousness often
means that the p ain-body has been triggered and that you have  become
identified with it. Physical viol ence would be impossible without deep
unconsciousness. It can also occur easily whenever and wherever a
crowd of people or even an enti re nation generates a negative c ollective
ener gy field.
The best indicator of your level of consciousness is how you deal with
life’ s challenges when they come. Through those challenges, an already
unconscious per son tends to become more deeply unconscious, and a
conscious person more intensely conscious. Y ou can use a challenge toawaken you, or you can allow it to pull you into even deeper sleep. The
dream of ordinary unconsciousness then turns into a nightmare.
If you cannot b e present even in normal circumstances, such as when
you are sitting alone in a room, walking in the woods, or listening to
someone, then you certainly won’ t be able to stay conscious when
something “goe s wrong” or you are faced with dif ficult p eople or
situations, with loss or the threat of loss. Y ou will be taken over by a
reaction, which ultimately is always some form of fear, and pulled into
deep un consciousness. Those ch allenges are your tests. Only the way in
which you deal with them will show you and others where you are at as
far as your state of consciousness is co ncerned, not how long you can sit
with your eyes closed or what visions you see.
So i t is essential to bring more consciousness into your life in ordinary
situations when everything is going relatively smoothly. In this way, you
grow in presenc e power. It gene rates an ener gy field in you and around
you of a high vibrational freque ncy. No unconsciousness, no negativity,
no discord or violence can enter that field and survive, just as darkness
cannot survive in the presence of light.
When you learn to be the witness of your thoughts and emotions, which
is an essential part of being present, you may be surprised when  you first
become aware of the background “static” of ordinary unconsciousness
and realize how rarely, if ever, you are truly at ease within you rself. On
the level of you r thinking, you will find a great deal of resistance in the
form of judgment, discontent, an d mental projection away from the Now.
On the emotiona l level, there will be an undercurrent of unease, tension,
boredom, or nervousness. Both  are aspects of the mind in its habitual
resistance mode.
WHA T ARE THEY SEEKING?
Carl Jung tells in one of his book s of a conversation he had with a Native
American chief who pointed out  to him that in his perception m ost white
people h ave tense faces, staring eyes, and a cruel demeanor. He said:
“They a re always seeking something. What are they seeking? The whites
always w ant something. They are always uneasy and restless. W e don’ t
know what they want. W e think they are mad.”The undercurre nt of constant unease started long before the rise of
W estern industrial civilization, of course, but in W estern civilization,
which n ow cove rs almost the en tire globe, including most of th e East, it
manifests in an unprecedentedly acute form. It was already there at the
time of Jesus, and it was there s ix hundred years before that at  the time
of Buddha, and long before that. Why are you always anxious? Jesus
asked hi s discipl es. “Can anxious thought add a single day to yo ur life?”
And the Buddha taught that the  root of suf fering is to be foun d in our
constant wanting and craving.
Resistance to the Now as a collective dysfunction is int rinsically
connected to loss of awarenes s of Being and forms the basis of our
dehumanized industrial civilization. Freud, by the way, also recognized
the exis tence of  this undercurrent of unease and wrote about  it in his
book Civilization and Its Discontents, but he did not recognize the true
root of the unea se and failed to realize that freedom from it is possible.
This collective dysfunction has created a very unhappy and
extraordinarily violent civilization that has become a threat no t only to
itself but also to all life on the planet.
DISSOL VING ORDINAR Y UNCONSCIOUSNESS
So how can we be fr ee of this affliction?

Make it conscious. Observe the many ways in which unease, di scontent,
and tension arise within you thro ugh unnecessary judgment, resistance to
what is, a nd denial of the Now. Anything unconscious dissolves whe n
you shine the l ight of consciousness on it. Once you know how to
dissolve ordinary unconsciousness, the light of your presence w ill shine
brightly, and it will be much easier to deal with deep unconsc iousness
whenever you feel its gravitational pull. However, ordinary
unconsciousness may not be easy to detect initially because

GERSON  THERAPY  RECIPES
The Gerson Therapy offers a diet containing a large variety of vegetarian
foods ingested in huge quantities. Eating them in the recommended
amounts will enable a consumer to reach an ideal weight level and remain
there. And one’s metabolism will achieve only homeostasis as well. But
these two healthy situations are attained only when ingestion is done under
certain conditions.
First, use only certified organically grown fresh fruits, dried fruits,
vegetables, grains, and sweeten ers. We repeat: Use strictly fresh fruits and
vegetables and absolutely no canned fruits or vegetables.
Second, the produce should not be peeled or scraped unless indicated. To
clean the foods, use only lukewarm water and a brush.
Third, sweeten only with Gerson-approved light honey, maple syrup, or
sugar. Dried organic cane sugar (Sucanat®), which has a molasses flavor,
may be added in recipes calling for brown sugar. Some cooks may prefer
other sweetening options.
Special Soup (Hippocrates Soup)
For one person use a 4-quart pot, assemble the following vegeta bles, then
cover with distilled water:
1 mediu m celery  knob (or 3 to 4 stalks of celery), 1 medium parsley root
(if available), garlic as desired, 2 small leeks (if not available, replace with
2 medium onions), 1½ lbs tomatoes or more, 2 medium onions, 1 1b
potatoes, and a little parsley.
Do not peel any of these speci al soup vegetables; just wash and scrub
them well and cut them coarsely ; simmer them slowly for 2 hours, then put
them through a food mill in small portions; only fibers should be left. Vary
the amount of water used for cooking according to taste and desired
consistency. Keep well covered in refrigerator no longer than 2 days. Warm
up as much as needed each time. Note: For recipes that call for soup stock,
use the liquid from this special soup.PREP ARA TION OF  JUICES
Juices are alway s freshly prepared. (As a reference, see the classic book
A Cancer Therapy, p. 240.) Please be aware that it’s not acceptable to
prepare the full day’ s juices in the morning.
Carr ot-Apple (8 oz juice)
3 carrots (6 oz) and 1 lar ge green apple (6 oz).
Green Juice
Obtain as many  as possible of the following kinds of leaves (no others):
romaine lettuce,  Swiss chard, beet tops (young inner leaves), watercress,
some red cabbage, green pepper (¼ of small one), endive, and escarole.
Add 1 medium apple for each glass when grinding.
Orange Juice
Squeeze only with a reamer -type juicer made of glass, plastic, or
porcelain. Do not use any juice press into which the orange is inserted with
the skin (if the skin is also pressed out, it will emit harmful fatty acids and
aromatic substa nces contained in its surface). Do not use an aluminum
juicer.
JUICERS
Use a separate grinder and a separate press for juicing or a juicer that
incorporates both. Do not use liqueifiers, centrifuges, juice mixers or
masters, and so on.
Pressing Pr ocessTake 1 or 2 coarsely woven nylon cloths, 12” square, and place a cupful
of pulp into center of moistened cloth, fold in thirds in both directions, and
press.
Rinse cloths in cool water after each juice preparation.
Do not allow juice to dry on the cloths.
Wash thoroughly each night in warm or hot water; rinse thoroughly.
Keep the pressing cloths overnight in a freezer.
It is essential to clean the machine and cloths very well.
If juice retains the taste of cloth, use a new cloth.
Allow 2 cloths per juicing.
Have 1 set of cloths for each type of juice.
Leftovers of all pressings can be used only for compost or as animal
food.
If the patient goes to work again  after healing, apple and carrot juice only
may be taken and kept in a thermos for no longer than 4 hours to drink on
the job.
SALADS AND  DRESSINGS
Raw fruit or raw vegetables, when finely grated or shredded,  must be
used fresh, as quickly as possible.
Raw living tissues may not be stored after any kind of preparation (please
see A Cancer Therapy, p. 189).
The following vegetables are very important to consume (finely grated if
necessary, or chopped; mixed or separate): knob celery, tomatoes, escarole,

 ritualistic, magical and
alchemical branch, the Tao Chiao, which fulﬁlled the day-
to-day needs of the people and which still exists in modern
times as a popular religion. Thus, from being abstract
philosophy, it became a concrete religion with a
ceremonial Church, having a priesthood, liturgy and
theology, a Pope, and a Trinity known as the Three PureOnes. From the original non-theistic mysticism it became
not only theistic but polytheistic, adopting the pantheon of
popular Buddhism.
While the origins and dates of Chinese alchemy are still
being resea rched and debated (there are literally
hundreds of Taoists texts as yet untranslated) it is known
for certain that it ﬂourish ed well before 144 BC, for at that
date the Emperor issued an edict which ordered public
execution for anyone found making counterfeit gold. The
making of counterfeit cash was also proscribed. However,
in the year 60 BC the then Emperor appointed a well-
known scholar, Liu Hsiang, as Master of the Recipes so
that he could make alchemical gold and prolong the
Emperor's life. He failed  to make the gold and so was
disgraced. This points to an already well-establis hed and
widespread practice in alchemy. It was also said to have
been practise d in the fourth century BC by Tsou Yen, who
had a reputation as a miracle-worker and a following
among the aristocracy. He was also reputed to have been
the ﬁrst alchemist to combine the search for the Elixir
with the search for gold.
The Later Han dynasty (AD 25-220) was a time of great
interest in science, astronomy, botany, zoology and
medicine and in this period there appeared the ﬁrst book
on alchemy, the Ts'an T'ung Ch'i of Wei Po-yang. Its date
was about AD 142 and its title is translated as ‘The Book of
the Kinship of the Three,’ but it was written in terms
which were too diﬀicult for the understanding of all but
initiates. But most of the alchemical texts derive from the
T'ang dynasty (AD 618-960), which maintained this
interest, especially in the alchemical branch of T aoism.
The language of the Ts'an T'ung Ch'i being too
complicated and esoteric to be of general use, it is to Ko
Hung that we must turn for the earliest complete treatise.
He lived about AD 260 to 340 and is regarded as the mostfamous of writers on Chinese alchemy. He is supposed to
have written  several hundred books but his known work is
the Pao P'u Tzu nei p'ien, usually referred to as the Pao P'u
Tzu, though this was, in fact, a pseudonym he adopted and
can be translated as ‘The Master who preserves his
pristine simplicity,’ which has also been rendered as ‘Old
Sobersides.’ The work is in two parts, the nei p'ien,
comprising some twenty scrolls, and the wei p'ien, some
ﬁfty. He says: ‘My nei p'ien, telling of gods, genii,
prescriptions and medicines, ghosts and marvels,
transformations, mainten ance of life, extension of years,
exorcising evils and banishing misfortune, belong s to the
Taoist school. My wei p'ien, giving an account of success
and failure in human aﬀairs and of good and evil in public
aﬀairs, belongs to the Confucian school.’1
It was Ko Hung who was responsible for the delightful
deﬁnitions of classical Taoism and Confucianism.  He was
asked: ‘Of Confucianism and Taoism, which is the more
diﬀicult?’ He replied: ‘Confucianism is diﬀiculty  in the
midst of facility; Taoism is facility in the midst of
diﬀiculties; in it all annoyances are lifted with an inner
harmony that grows of itself; perfect freedom of action and
thought; no fear, no grief.’ Taoists ‘reject specialization in
worldly matters, wash away all trickeries, forget wealth
and neglect honours, block repression and encour age free
expression, are not concerned about the loss of anything,
do not glory in success and are not saddened by
denigration and take no delight in praise.’
Ko Hung regarded the existing scrolls for medicines as
incomplete, confused and often lacking in treatment for
many critical illnesses. He said that they employed
expensive ingredients only available to the rich, whereas
his scrolls would be found to mention all the medicines
and give full treatment for all serious illnesses: ‘Any
household possessing this book can dispense with theservices of a physician. Further, it is not always possible to
ﬁnd a physician at a moment's notice and when you do ﬁnd
one he may not wish to come immediately.’ (This strangely
modern passage was written nearly 2000 years ago!)
Chinese alchemy, being more concerned with longevity
and immortality than with the making of gold, was
naturally involved with ﬁnding the Elixir of Immortality
and with prescriptions  for prolonging life. When
challenged that he was attempting the impossible in trying
to overcome  mortality in this life, Ko Hung replied that
although the deaf could not hear thunder or appreciate
music, and the sun and the splendour of the Emperor's
robes were invisible to the blind, it did not mean that these
things did not exist. His recipe for long life was the use of
appropriate medicines, breathing exercises and
philosophical thought. Alchemy, like all esoteric lore, had
to be learned from an adept and Ko Hung's master, Cheng
Yin, at over eighty, had black hair, a ‘full cheerful face’ and
could draw a strong cross-bow and shoot a hundred paces;
he walked hundreds of miles and could drink two
demijohns of wine without becoming drunk; he climbed
mountains with agility and crossed precipitous places and
dangerous heights which daunted younger men. He ate
and drank the same thing s as anyone else, but could go for
unlimited days without food and without feeling hunger.
In his writings Ko Hung maintained that alchemical
change was only one facet of the universal transformations
in Nature. ‘It is clear, therefore, that transformation is
something spontaneous in Nature. Why then should we
demur at the possibility of making gold and silver from
other things? Look at the ﬁre obtained from heaven with
the burning-mirror, and the water got at night [dew] from
the moon-mirror; are they diﬀerent from ordinary ﬁre and
water?... I guarantee that mercury can vapourize and
that gold and silver can be sought successfully... theManuals of the Immortals tell us... that it is in the nature
of gold and silver that one can make them.’ In his time
there were treatises which contained recipes and formulae
for ‘melting jade,’ ‘transforming gold’ and making
‘talisman water.’ But these obscure and probably  esoteric
terms notwi thstanding, Professor Needham, the great
authority on the development of Chinese science, says that
Ko Hung's Pao P'u Tzu  ‘conta ins some scientiﬁc  thinking at
what appears to be a high level.’
Ko Hung disapproved of the recluse-alchemists seeking
their own immortality to the neglect of their dependents,
as so many did: ‘To turn one's back upon wife and children
and make one's abode in the mountains and marshes,
uncaringly to reject basic human usage... is hardly to be
encouraged. If by some good fortune they can become
immortal and still go on living at home, why should they
seek to mount specially to the heavens?’ Once the
preparation of the divine Elixir has been achieved
successfully ‘you and your whole household, not just you
alone, will become immor tals.’ He also says that this state
of immortality cannot be attained without good deeds,
loyalty, friendliness and trustworthiness.
This condition of immorality was known as that of the
hsien, the genie or immortal, and the alchemist aimed  at
achieving hsien -hood, of which there were several grades,
as will be seen later. Strangely, Ko Hung's death was said
to be consistent with the lowest grade, the shih chieh
hsien, the ‘corpse free,’ one whose corpse disappears,
leaving only the clothes or some identifying object behind.
At his death he was encoﬀined but later it was found that
his body had disappeared, only his clothes remaining.
While Ko Hung, Wei Po-yang and other early alchemists
can be traced in historical records, many of the early
names and the stages of alchemy are found only in legend,
for which the Chinese have the delightful phrase ‘wildhistory.’ The most important of these legendary characters
is undoubtedly the Yellow Emperor, Huang Ti, who
traditionally reigned from about 2704 to 2595 BC. He was
regarded as the ﬁrst and greatest of Tao

Cancer is the
Mother Sign of thezodiac. The mother’sbreast is the ego’s firsthome after taking onflesh and “rending the
Veil of Isis.” The tenacity of those born betweenthe dates June 21 and July 22 in holding on to ahome or dwelling place is well illustrated by thecrab’s grip, and also by the fact that it carries itshouse along wherever it goes in order that it maybe sure of a dwelling.
The angels of the twelve zodiacal signs mate-
rialize their vitalities in the human microcosm.Through the operation of chemistry, energy creating the intelligent molecules of Divine Sub-stance makes the “Word” flesh. The cornerstonein the chemistry of the crab is the inorganic saltfluoride of lime, known in pharmacy language asCalcarea Fluorica. It is a combination of fluorineand lime. When this cell salt is deficient in theblood, physical and mental disease (not at ease)is the result.
Elastic fiber is formed by the union of the
fluoride of lime with albuminoids (egg-white-like proteins), whether in the rubber tree or thehuman body. All relaxed conditions of tissue(varicose veins and kindred ailments) are due toa lack of sufficient amount of elastic fiber to“rubberize” the tissue and hold it in place.When elastic fiber is deficient in the membranetissue between the upper and lower brain polesCalc Fluor

ging apart” of the positive and negative poles ofthe dynamo that runs the body’s machinery. Anunfailing sign or symptom of this deficiency is agroundless fear of financial ruin. While thoseborn in any of the twelve signs may sometimes bedeficient in Calc Fluor, Cancer individuals aremore likely to manifest symptoms, indicatingtheir lack of this elastic fiber-builder.The governing planet of this water sign is the
Moon. The gems associated with Cancer areblack onyx and emerald, and the colors are greenand russet brown. In Bible alchemy (an esotericinterpretation of the Bible), Cancer is representedby Zebulum, the tenth son of Jacob, whose namemeans “dwelling place” or “habitation.” Matthewis the New Testament disciple associated with thissign.
26 FACIAL DIAGNOSIS OF CELLSALTDEFICIENCIESAs bone is the foundation of the animal structure, I will commence
with the bone builder – Calc Phos, also known as calcium phos-
phate. Bone tissue is about 57 percent lime phosphate. The lime salt
has chemical affinity for protein. While there is a certain degree of affinitybetween each of the cell salts and protein – protein being the base of allorganic matter – the operation of calcium phosphate with protein is great-est. The salt chemically unites with protein, carries it, and uses it as cementto build bone tissue. Bone also contains carbonate of soda, magnesiumphosphate, and sodium chloride, but lime phosphate is the chief builder ofbone tissue, and it follows, as a logical sequence, that it is the principal saltdeficient in all so-called diseases of bone structure.*
The gelatin found in bone tissue is formed by the union of protein, oil,
carbon, lime, and phosphate in certain proportion. A lack in the properamount of this builder, in some instances, causes an anemic condition, forbone material (lime and protein) is the foundation of bodily structure.
Under certain conditions, dependent on deficiencies in other cell salts,
a break in the molecular chain of lime phosphate will cause an outflow ofprotein through the kidneys. Why should the escape of albumen (egg-white-like protein; also referred to as “albuminoids”) through the kidneysbe named Bright’s disease? It seems that the fact of the loss of albumen inthis manner was first discovered in the case of a hospital patient namedBright, and although many others die in a regular and orthodox mannerfrom the same cause that cut off the immortal Bright, the medical professionhas dignified the disease by the original label. The very same albumen thatcauses Bright’s disease, if expelled through the nasal passage, is calledcatarrh (mucus congestion), from the Greek word meaning “to drop down.”
If albumen reaches the skin, by disintegration or fermentation it causes
pimples, eruptions, eczema, etc. If anyone derives pleasure from these

chemistry knows nothing whatever about them.
A great deficiency in Calc Phos may cause
protein to accumulate in some gland and theredisintegrate and flow out in pus, or heteroplasm(dissimilar tissue), which is called scrofula(swelling of the lymph nodes) by the old-schoolphysicians.
The lime molecules are found in the fluids of
digestion and assimilation, and when there is alack of the proper amount of these workers, thedigestive juices become negative, lose their prop-er rate of motion or catalytic action, ferment, andthus produce gas, acid condition, etc. When limephosphate and sodium phosphate – the alkalinesalts – are deficient, acids, together with albu-minous substance, may settle in the joints andthus render synovial fluids “nonfunctional,”thereby causing pain, stiffness, and swelling ofthe joints. Just why this chemical fact must needshave the word “rheumatism” tacked to it does notappear. The word “rheumatism” is derived fromthe word “rheum,” meaning “to flow out.”
MATERIA MEDICA FOR CALCPHOS
Adapted from: The Biochemic System of Medicine,
Materia Medica by Dr. George Carey
Calc Phos (also known as phosphate of lime
or calcium phosphate) is destined to play aprominent part in the treatment of the sick whenits range is fully understood by medical practi-tioners. This salt works with albumen, carrying itto the bone, tissue, or any other part of the bodywhere it may be needed. It uses albumen as acement to build up bone structure.
Bone is 57 percent phosphate of lime, the
remainder gelatin (an albuminous, gluey sub-stance), carbonate of soda, magnesium phos-phate, and sodium chloride. Without the lime(Calc Phos), no bone can be made.
When, for any reason, the molecules of this
salt fall below the proper standard in the blood,a disturbance occurs in life’s processes. It may be
that bone cells are not rebuilt as fast as they die.In such cases, if the deficiency exists for a greatlength of time, a condition of anemia prevails,for the bone is the basis, the foundation stone,of the organism. Should the albumen, not hav-ing a sufficient quantity of the Calc Phos toproperly take care of it, become a disturbing ele-ment and be thrown off via the kidneys, Bright’sdisease results. If through the nasal passages, thecondition is named catarrh (mucus congestion).If by the lungs, a cough is produced. If the albu-men reaches the skin, pimples, eruptions, freck-les, a condition called eczema, or possibly soresresult.
Calcium phosphate is found in gastric juice,
and a lack thereof is frequently the cause of indi-gestion.
Conditions called rheumatism are some-
times due to a deficiency of this cell salt. It iswell known to biochemists that a proper balanceof sodium phosphate (Nat Phos) is required toprevent an acid condition from prevailing, andunder certain conditions, when calcium phos-phate for any reason is not present in properquantities, the affinities

Be realistic - expect a miracle!

A wide range of nutrient supplemen ts and remedies are useful in cancer therapy. Some of them have direct tumor destroying or
inhibiting properties while others help to normalize the metabolism, destroy microbes or parasites, strengthen the immune system
and increase vitality. Often these dif ferent roles overlap.
Depending on ﬁnances and preferences, you may choose a program with a high or a low level of supplements and remedies. The
better the diet, cleansing and mind therapy, and the less advanced the condition, the less supplements and remedies you need.
Based on these general rules you may put your individual program together from the information given below and in accordance with
the overall principles of holistic cancer therapy.
If there are several powders that you take daily, you may mix them together in the right proportions. In this way you need to take only
one tablespoonful from one container instead of having to open sever al containers for smaller amounts. Similar with tablets and
capsules: in the morning you may count out the tablets for each meal in a separate container.
As a general rule, except if it spoils the taste, it is better to crush nutrien t tablets, or open capsules and mix their content with a meal
rather than swallowing them whole. For example ﬁsh oils are not well absorbed if they are not emulsiﬁed or properly mixed with some
food.
Acidophilus and biﬁdo cultures, also combined with other lactobacteria, are essential to restore a healthy intestinal ﬂora, especially at
the start of the program and with and after any antibiotics and chemotherapy. If you cannot use homemade yogurt, take powdered
cultures sold in refrigerated brown glass bottles or high-potency capsules with 10 Billion or better 25 Billion live bacteria per gram or
capsule. Keep refrigerated.
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a strong antioxidant and helpful to improve immune functions and overcome viral infections. You may take
100 to 200 mg 3 times daily.
Bee-pollen, spirulina, chlorella, wheat grass or barley grass powder and ground linseed are highly recommended as outlined for the
Cancer Diet.
Bio-Beet or a similar product of dried beetroot powder may be used if fresh beetroot is not available. Tinned beetroot, on the other
hand, is not a suitable substitute for fresh beetroot.
Coenzyme Q10 stimulates the metabolism, increases energy and may regress tumors. Try 3 x 100 mg of Q10. Good-quality Q10 has
a deep orange color while less potent varieties are paler and yellow. It is fat-soluble; take it with olive, coconut or ﬁsh oil, and with
malabsorption rub this into the skin as well.
Freeze-dried liver provides liver enzymes. You may chew a tablet betwee n meals and keep in the mouth for absorption or crush it and
add juices. Take 1 - 3 organic tablets daily, in strength equivalent to 10,000 mg of fresh liver per tablet, sometimes also fresh raw
organic liver is being used.
Ginger is an excellent anti-inﬂammatory food and remedy; it also stimula tes digestion and helps to prevent nausea. Use fresh ginger
in your vegetable juices and with meals.
In laboratory studies ginger caused ovarian cancer cells to die in a more dependable way than with standard chemotherapy
treatments. Researchers simply used ginger powder. Ginger induced cell death in all the ovarian cancer cell lines tested
(www.scienceblog.com 6 April 2006). Ginger may be equally ef fective with many other cancers.
Ginseng improves metabolism and energy. Asian or Korean ginseng appears to be best, but also Siberian and American ginseng are
ﬁne.
Grape Seed Extract contains Proanthocyanidins (PACs or OPCs), a group of antioxidants that chemically belong to the class of
bioﬂavonoids. They strengthen connective tissue and reduce or prevent inﬂammation that surrounds invasive tumors. Commercially it
is extracted from maritime pine bark and grape seeds. The extract from pine bark is sold under the trade name 'Pycnogenol'.
PACs are widely distributed in fruits and vegetables. The color of black/purple/red grapes, blackberries, blueberries and red cabbage
consists of anthocyanins, the active form of PACs. The pigent of beetroot belongs to a subgroup of anthocyanins, the betacyanins.

https://health-science-spirit.com/Diseases/Cancer/Cancer-Nutrients.html 1/6Try to have plenty of both groups. In addition to their antioxidant and anti-inﬂammatory properties, PACs, anthocyanins and
betacyanins help to restore normal metabolism in cancer cells by taking the role of oxygen as electron acceptors. Closely related to
PACs are the catechins in green tea, which are also helpful in cancer treatment.
Inositol is a vitamin-like substance. On its own or combined with phytic acid (inositol-hexaphosphate) it has been used to slow the
growth of cancer cells and blood vessels in tumors, it also seems to initiate a suicide mechanism in cancer cells. Generally 6 to 15g
of inositol has been used in divided doses with meals. It
