 not of and  those  ways are  past finding  out.
Learn to be  grateful for the  desires you  have been given. They already ex -
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenist and  are ready for embodiment in your world. You  are not called  upon
to do anything  to aid  their realization except to free your mind  of any
doubt as to how  they will come  about and  completely accept them as you
would  a gift from a  loved  one.
Be Observant
The importance of objectively observing  your thoughts cannot be stressed
enough. It is easy to slip  into thought patterns that can hinder  us in
achieving our desires. It then  becomes easy to blame  others or attribute
our frustrations to second  causes.
Being  a rather  impatient person, I am usually anxious to get home after
work and I particularly dislike  waiting  in lines. I began to notice that no
matter  what time  I chose  to pick up a few items at the  market, I would
encounter  problems at the  check  stand  such as price checks needing  to
be done,  people  writing  checks who had  trouble  locating  their identifica -
tion, and  various other  kinds of delays. I found  myself dreading  these  oc-
casions, and  I wanted  to do something  about this annoying  situation. As I
began to observe  my thoughts, I found  that, while  standing  in line,  I
would  say to myself, “I always have  to wait.”  Then I realized  that those
statements made over  and over again had  created  that which I did  not
wish to experience. I consciously changed  that statement to, “No matter
when I stop  at the  market, I never  have to wait.”  Of course  that new
statement has worked  just as well as the  old negative  one.
As you  begin to observe  your thoughts, do not be  discouraged  if you find
that your inner  conversations do not match the  way you  would  feel if you
you have achieved  your goal. You   must first become  aware  of what you
are doing  with your creative  power  before  you can begin to change  it. I
ask you to go down to the  “potter’s house” and  see what he  is doing. If
the vessel is spoiled,  then rework  it into the  kind of vessel that will please
you.
As you  begin observing  your thoughts, you  cannot avoid  the realization
that you  alone  are the  cause  of all that comes into your world. You, alone,
can change  it.
Appearances
That which is confronting  you in your world  now is the  result of your past
thoughts, beliefs, feelings and  imaginal activity. These  appearances will
continue  in being  as long  as you  give them life  through your conscious
awareness of them. You  must disregard  the evidence of your senses as it
pertains to any undesirable  condition in your life. You  must imagine and
feel that you  have already attained  that which you  want to experience
rather than that which you  do not want to continue  in being. This may ap -
pear difficult, yet you have  probably exercised  this principle  unconsciously
to produce negative  results.
More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenWhen I was in my early twenties, I found  myself in a  situation that was
very unpleasant to  me and I wanted  to get out of it. After  attending  a lec-
ture by Neville, I waited  to speak  to him afterwards.  I briefly told  him of
my unhappy circumstances and  was hoping  he would  offer some  advice as
to how  to change  them. He  smiled  at me  and said, “Don’t accept it.”   At
that time  in my life  I did not fully grasp  what Neville  had been teaching. I
thought he had  misunderstood  my question, and  I tried  to clarify my
problem by stating  that I had  already made the  choice to be  in the  situa-
tion I now  found  so unpleasant. Neville  again  smiled  and said, “Don’t ac -
cept it.”  I left his presence quite  frustrated, thinking  he had not under -
stood  my problem. I continued  to read  the two books I had  by Neville. I
gradually  understood  that regardless of the  circumstances which sur -
rounded  me, I did  not need  to accept them as final. I began to imagine
what I wanted  rather  than focus my thoughts on  my negative  surround -
ings. An event took  place two weeks after  I began my imaginal acts that
was instrumental in bringing  about my heart’s desire  five months later -
that of a  brand  new home.  Meanwhile,  the situation that had  been so de -
pressing  to me  improved, and  I spent the  next five  months planning  what
I would  do in my new  home.
Think  about some  past disappointment you  may have  had. Perhaps you
were looking forward  to attending  a special event with someone.  In your
anticipation of it, did  you think, “This is too good  to be true, something
will probably happen  to spoil it.”   Something  probably did  happen to cre -
ate conflict or to cause  you to miss it entirely. Man finds it relatively sim -
ple to disregard  the promise  of something  good by thinking  of all the rea -
sons why he  cannot achieve  it.
People  around  you may be  quick  to point out that you  are being  unrealis -
tic when you  mention a  desire  that appears difficult or impossible  to
reach. We  should  all be  unrealistic  in the  face of the  army of doubt if we
would  experience our wish fulfilled. We  are called upon to disregard the
“facts”  which would  deny the  achievement of our heart’s desire. Habit is
the only thing  that keeps our thoughts moving  along  the old familiar  neg-
ative ruts. No one  can change  your thought patterns and, therefore, your
life but you.
It is worth all the  effort it may take to center  your attention and  feel as if
you already possess that which you  want in place  of things as they are.
Consciousness is the  only cause   and the only reality. Every negative  ex-
perience was produced  by first giving  attention and  feeling  to that condi -
tion. What consciousness has made, it can unmake. Your responsibility is
to impress upon your mind  with the  change  you wish to express. Your
imagination is the  creative  power  that can and  will accomplish the end
without effort and  in a natural way.
More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenAppearances confirm our former  habitual patterns of thought. That which
you imagine  yourself to be  today will project itself in your world tomor -
row. Persistence in assuming  that you  are the person you  wish to be,  de-
spite your present circumstances, is the  only condition imposed  upon you
to embody that ideal.
Inner Conversations
All of us are  mentally speaking  within ourselves every waking  moment.
Our inner conversations must match the  wish fulfilled  if we would  realize
our desire. If our desire  is for a  better  job and  we imagine  ourselves being
congratulated  because  we are gainfully employed  in a wonderful position,
we must also make our inner  conversations conform to   that end. We
must be  certain that we  are not saying  within ourselves something  like,
“That  boss of mine  doesn’t believe  in promoting  people;”  or “It would be
difficult to find  any job at my age, never  mind a better  one,” or similar
statements that would  imply that we  do not have  that which we desire.
We must persist in the  feeling  of our imaginal act by making  our mental
conversations conform to what we  would  say had  we already realized  our
aim.
If, for instance, we wished  to own a  new car, we  could  imagine a new car
parked  in our garage  or imagine  ourselves driving  it, or imagine  our
friends admiring  it. We  must then  make our inner  conversations reflect
the  type  of conversations we  would  engage in were  we really the  own-
er of a new  car. Our  conversations could  consist of discussing  our new  car
with friends such as telling  them of the  wonderful fuel mileage  we are re-
ceiving, or hearing  our friends tell us how  much they enjoy riding  in our
new  car, etc.
Our inner conversations are  just as creative  as our deliberate  imagining  of
the wish  fulfilled. In fact, if they are  of the  opposite  nature,  they can
negate  what we  have imagined. You  must watch what you  are saying  in-
ternally to make sure  that these

HOW TO SURVIVE DURING A FAMINE
..... or you were poor, you were broke, and you had a large family it's interesting to realize that you could bring the whole family
up in perfect health on dried milk or whole milk plus whole wheat alone and nothing else......

TOXICITY VERSUS DEFICIENCY
..... In other words, you could live longer if you ate a complete diet which had salt and pepper and contaminants and chemicals,
even fluorides in the water, even sprayed chemicals on the food, than if you ate an incomplete diet. But if the foods were wh ole
and natural, you would live longest and healthiest.
..... We are all more or less toxic to some extent, and we all increase toxins in the blood temporarily when we exercise, but we
are not all sick. Most bodies can handle a large degree of toxemia for a long time. Deficiencies damage us much more quickly.
That's the differe nce between the two evils.
....... In humans, the deficiencies develop more subtly. You could be a vegetarian on a very imbalanced diet and feel good fo r
five, seven, even ten years, but after ten years you'd start to fall apart when you have used up your reserves of B12 and D.
When that happens, down you go. And once down, it is very hard to get back up.

THE IDEAL VEGETARIAN DIET
To jump to the end for a moment. After two years of experiments I concluded that the ideal diet is approximately 75 to 85% ra w
food, with the rest cooked vegetables.......

TESTING EGG YOLK AND EGG WHITE
..... Interestingly, in the raw food vegetarian cage of mice, when I substituted egg yolk instead of cheese, the growth was e ven
more rapid.
..... And all the books were saying, "Egg yolks, stay away from them. You'll die of cholesterol. They'll give you heart attacks."
For me, I considered one egg a good maximum. Two only for emergencies. Even though Dr. Cursio used daily as many as four
egg yolks on some patients, their blood pr essure dropped steadily. I found the same to be true. Lecithin in egg yolks appears to
negate cholesterol deposition in arteries.
When I saw the results with the mice, I changed my opinion about eggs.

GREENS WERE INDISPENSABLE
..... I found that greens we re indispensable. I had tested all the vegetables, and I found that the mice preferred lettuce and
carrot tops to all the vegetables. In fact, I raised them for over ten years in human time almost exclusively on lettuce. Mos tly
iceberg because I was able t o get the outer leaves free. And they did well even though we know iceberg lettuce isn't the best
lettuce.
..... Every time I made a discovery with the mice I introduced it with my patients. I found with each discovery that when I
introduced it into the di et of a patient, greater improvements resulted. I was excited. I was into new territory, and I saw no limit
to the tremendous knowledge that could unfold. Dr. Cursio was also excited because my findings helped to verify his work as
accurate.

MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF FRUIT TO EAT
..... You should eat no more than two to three varieties daily of medium fruit - like an apple, an orange, and a banana. Save
bananas for the end of the day. Or half a cantaloupe and a mango. Or two medium grapefruits and a handful o f cherries.

GORILLAS, ORANGUTANGS AND CHIMPS
...... I'm going to tell you something interesting. The highest apes related to man are the gorillas, the orangutangs, and th e
chimps. A chimp will eat maybe up to 50% fruit, but they are nervous characters. No w the orangutang will eat up to about 15%
fruit. The orang's a beautiful animal and much more gentle and lovable than the chimp. But a gorilla eats only 3% fruit. Did you
know it will bypass fruit for vegetables and shoots?.....

IN CLOSING
..... the solu tion is simple. Small adjustments in the raw food diet can help users avoid slowly developing but disastrous health
problems. These small changes can lead to optimum longevity and magnificent health - physically, mentally, and spiritually.
As a believer in  raw food vegetarianism myself, I feel a moral imperative to share the disturbing, surprising results of my
experiments with mice. I hope to help health seekers avoid hidden dangers in their journey toward health, strength, and
happiness. I hope my discove ries have shed a little light on your journey.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interview with Dr. Bass:
Q:  So you were a fruitarian, and a raw vegan, and finally came to the conclusion that those diets will  cause deficiencies?
A: Actually this is quite a common route. Many vegans (who are not cheating) have through their own experiences come to the s ame
conclusion.
Here is an typical example from Arnold DeVries book "The Elixir of Life":

MAHATMA GANDHI
"The late Mahatma Gandhi devoted much of his life to the advocacy of strict vegetarian diet, and for years he experimented on  his own body
to find a sui table selection of plant foods on which to sustain health.

But all attempts were failures. In 1929, Gandhi and 22 companions went on a diet consisting of a limited selection of uncooke d plant foods.
Whereas the diet worked out well for a time and led to m arked improvement in consumptive cases, it failed to prove adequate on a long -
range sustenance basis. One by one Gandhi's companions were forced to depart from the diet, and Gandhi himself had to add goa t milk to
his fare in order to regain health.

"For my companions I have been a blind guide leading the blind," declared Gandhi after the experiment was over. Gandhi still felt,  however,
that "the hidden possibilities of the innumerable seeds, leaves and fruits" of the earth could be explored and found to p rovide mankind with
adequate nourishment. He never stopped trying to experiment along these lines, but he always had to turn back to goat milk to  regain his
strength.

In the end he had to acknowledge the necessity for animal food. In 1946 he declared: "The crores of India today get neither milk nor ghee
nor butter, nor even buttermilk. No wonder that mortality figures are on the increase and there is a lack of energy in the pe ople. It would
appear as if man is really unable to sustain life without eithe r meat or milk and milk products. Anyone who deceives people in this regard or
countenances the fraud is an enemy of India."

These are strong words from a man who devoted most of his life to the search for a satisfactory vegetarian diet. But Gandhi's  expe rience is
not unique in the field of nutrition. Many others have also gone through the experience of believing that man could thrive ex clusively upon a
limited selection of uncooked plant foods, only to find in the end that animal products were necessary f or sustenance.
...."
Note that Arnold DeVries himself started out as a convinced fruitarian, but in the end became a strong supporter of Weston -Price theories.

And here is another example from chetday.com:

Deficiencies on the Vegan Diet Nearly Destroyed our Health.
By Greg Westbrook - Author of: "When Hallelujah Becomes: What Happened?"
.......
When we transitioned to an all -raw vegan diet in 1994 and then to the Hallelujah Diet (an 85% raw vegan diet) in 1997, we were so pleased
with the results that we  never dreamed our diet would one day let us down. We did not have the vision to realize that we were on a deficient
diet barreling down a road to nowhere, and that we would one day have to stop the car and back up a very, very long way.
.......
My weight had dropped to 120 pounds, and I was only a ghost of my normal weight of 155 pounds. We heard from the grapevine that
people were talking about how old and tired Judie and I were looking.
I had also lost almost all my digestive power as well as five teeth to decay on the Genesis 1:29 Diet. And I was always cold, the result of
slowing metabolism. Things were not looking good for us, but we still did not make the diet connection at that time.

Since we thought we were on "God's Ideal Diet," we decided to try even harder at the diet. More raw food, more juicing, more dehydrating,
and soaking nuts and sprouting seeds, more Barleygreen, more exercise. And this is what we did for another year. We worked ha rder at the
diet than ever, but to no avail.
We were rewarded with even more severe health problems.

Judie's head and neck -aches became unbearable, almost making her an invalid. I was extremely cold, and eating


 few days following birth. He concluded, therefore, that this difficulty in breathing was the
cause of the brain damage.
    Difficulty in breathing would lead to a shortage of oxygen. An insufficient supply of oxygen in the
blood stream would have serious effects upon the tissues of the brain. In this connection, he cited
evidence found in post-mortem examinations that deficiency of oxygen caused microscopic
changes in the brain.
    X-ray photographs of some of the children examined by Dr. Schreiber showed various degrees7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 228/250of brain atrophy.
    The contribution of Dr. Schreiber also emphasizes strongly the susceptibility of the brain tissue
to injuries which may handicap the individual throughout life.

SOIL DEPLETION AND PLANT AND ANIMAL
DETERIORATION
THE data available on the subject of soil depletion and animal deterioration are so voluminous
that it would require a volume to present them adequately. When we realize the quantities of many
of the minerals which must enter into the composition of the bodies of human beings and other
animals, we appreciate the difficulty of providing in pasture and agricultural soils a concentration of
these minerals sufficient to supply the needs for plant growth and food production. If we think of
growing plants and grasses in terms of average soil tilled to a depth of seven inches, we are dealing
with a total of approximately two million pounds of soil per acre, of which two thousand pounds7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 229/250will be phosphorus in its various chemical forms, some of which will not be readily available for
plants. If one-half of this phosphorus were present in an available form, there would be enough for
only one hundred poor crops, utilizing ten pounds to the acre for the seed alone; or for forty good
crops, taking twenty-five pounds per acre, assuming that the seed were to be removed from that
land and not replaced. A sixty-bushel crop of wheat or corn per acre takes twenty-five to twenty-
eight pounds of phosphorus in the seed. The soil is depleted of calcium similarly, though that
mineral is not usually present in such limited amounts nor so rapidly taken away as is phosphorus.
The leaves and stems of rapidly growing young plants and grasses are rich in calcium and
phosphorus. As the plants ripen the phosphorus is transported in large amounts to the seed while
most of the calcium remains in the leaves. A large part of the commerce of the world is concerned
with the transportation of chemical elements as foods, chief of which are calcium and phosphorus.
Whether the product of the soil is ultimately used as wheat for bread, milk and meat for foods, or
wool and hides for clothing, every pound of these products that is shipped represents a depletion
of soil for pasturage or for grain production.
    If we think of one hundred good crops constituting the limit of capacity of the best soils, and
one-fourth of that for a great deal of the acreage of the tillable soil, we are probably over-
generous. This problem of depletion may seem to many people unimportant, either because there
has been no consciousness that depletion has been taking place, or because they believe that
replenishment is a simple matter.
    In correspondence with government officials in practically every state of the United States I find
that during the last fifty years there has been a reduction in capacity of the soil for productivity in
many districts, amounting to from 25 to 50 per cent. I am informed also that it would cost
approximately fifty dollars per acre to replenish the supply of phosphorus.
    Many people realize that farms they knew in their childhood have ceased to be productive
because they have "run out." The movement of population to cities and towns is, in part, the result
of the call of the social center and in part a consequence of the need of forsaking depleted soil.
While there are many things that influence the movement from the farms, there is much to be
learned from the government census reports which deal directly with farm acreage and values.
    If we relate the levels of life of human and domestic animals to the problem of soil depletion, we
find two important groups of data. First, there are those which relate to specific land areas, some
small and some very large; and second, those which relate to civilizations and groups, both large
and small that have passed out of existence or are rapidly deteriorating. A study of the skeletons of
the past and present often discloses a progressive breakdown. For example, we may mention the
important anthropological findings of Professor Hooton of Harvard, who, in his examinations of
various pueblos of the Western Plains, especially at the Pecos Pueblo where the progressive
burials have been uncovered, has brought to light the calendar of a civilization extending over a
thousand years. These findings show that there has been over the period of years a progressive
increase in skeletal deformities, including arthritis and dental caries, together with a reduction in
stature, suggesting a direct relationship to progressive depletion of the soil.
    In a recent magazine article, I have presented data (1)  comparing the mineral content of different
pasture grasses, and relating these to deficiencies in cattle. Unfortunately, space does not permit
reviewing these data here in detail. They show that calcium varied from 0.17 per cent for a dry
pasture grass in Arizona to 1.9 per cent in a Pennsylvania pasturage plant, to 2 per cent in a British
Columbia pasturage plant, a range of over ten fold. Similarly, phosphorus was shown to vary from
0.03 per cent to 1.8 per cent, a range of sixty fold. Neither pasture animals nor human beings can
eat a sufficient amount of low mineral plant food to provide the total mineral requirements of
ordinary metabolism. In cases of overload, such as pregnancy and lactation in adults, and rapid
growth in children, the demand is increased greatly. For example, a high-milk-production cow
from southern Texas on a certain low mineral pasture will run behind her normal requirements
about 60 grams of phosphorus and 160 grams of potassium per day. In that district large numbers
of cattle were unable at the time to maintain their own bodies, let alone reproduce or provide milk.
Many cattle in the district developed loin disease. It was found that moving them to another plot of7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

 all but conquered infections of all types.
Surgical procedures and treatment of traumatic ills have advanced equally with
control of the infectious diseases. In short, what the medical community does, it does
well, unsurpassed in the history of mankind.
But the problems for which the medical community is so well trained and
equipped to handle account for only a percentage of the illnesses in our society. In
the balance of the cases involving degeneration or metabolic conditions, little hope is
received.
Down through the years, cancer patients have had such excellent results with
Metabolic Medicine that they have brought other family members and friends for
nutritional counseling. The range of diseases for which Dr. Kelley has planned
nutritional programs covers the complete gamut of degenerative and metabolic ills,
even some infectious diseases and structural conditions.
Dr. Kelley distinguishes between degenerative disease and metabolic disease in
this example: Adult-onset diabetes is degenerative; childhood-onset diabetes is
metabolic. Metabolic diseases can result from improper nutrition to the fetus due to
the faulty diet of the mother during pregnancy. (It is widely recognized among
medical authorities that birth defects have risen dramatically in recent years.)
Metabolic disease can result from injury or other trauma. Metabolic diseases are
those, which do not result from long-term physical degeneration.
Dr. Kelley's experience with over 33,000 benefactors led or leads him to believe
10
Winning The Cancer War
that balancing body chemistry through nutrition is a realistic approach, which should
be investigated on a larger scale. How long this w ill take, or whether it will be done
at all, is a matter of speculation. Many readers, or their friends, are desperately
seeking help for conditions that could be alleviated through nutritional balancing of
body chemistry. Cancer is just one of these conditions. A large part of Dr. Kelley's
Nutritional Counseling is devoted to planning nutritional programs for people who do
not have cancer. Whatever the specific metabolic-degenerative condition may be,
hope and encouragement is justified by the many favorable reports from those who
have already benefited from Metabolic Medicine.

Warning of Fraud
From Park Avenue in New York City to the motel clinics and marble palaces of
Northern Mexico, deception, misrepresentation, and out-right fraud are inflicted
upon a multitude of desperate cancer victims in unprecedented heights never before
known to mankind.
They are committed daily by fly-by-night promoters, the international multi-level
conglomerate giants, doctors who claim to be medical school graduates, and
"practitioners" who have bought mail-order doctorate diplomas. Orthodox physicians
as well as alternative and complementary health care doctors commit deception and
plunder in order to line their greedy pockets, a practice that might be considered
murder.
Many of these unscrupulous individuals claim they are using Dr. Kelley's program
or supplements formulated by Dr. Kelley. Many have the nerve to say that their
formula is an improvement over Dr. Kelley's concepts. These wicked, lawless
creatures make false claims that they are using Dr. Kelley's methods and/or have
studied with Dr. Kelley. Nothing could be further from the truth!

These dishonest individuals want you to think that their programs are as good as, or
better, than Dr. Kelley's Original Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Program®. They
also try to deceive you by using Dr. Kelley as an authority figure when they do not
even comprehend his concepts. Most importantly, not one of them can approach Dr.
Kelley's cancer cure success rate. Unless Dr. Kelley endorses their programs or

misled by these fakirs!
"Cancer" is Impossible to "Cure"
A. M alignant  Tumors  w ill develop which the medical communities, both
orthodox and alternative, in total error call cancer. Proper treatment of these
malignant tumors include:
1. Reduce the intake of heavy meat proteins like pork, beef, fish, and foul for
at least six months
2. Use and take pure pancreatic enzymes with their activators.
3. Add to the diet as much raw, organic fruits and vegetables and/or their
juice as possible.
4. Properly detoxify the body and increase blood circulation.
5. Remove as much of the enzyme inhibitors and blockers as possible and
preaxial.
6. Maintain a positive spiritual and mental attitude.
Note: When one has delayed in starting our natural metabolic program until
you have exhausted other forms of therapy or your tumor mass has gown
exceedingly large before diagnosis or has invaded the bone or you have
enzyme inhibitors preventing enzyme activity, you must address these
conditions in addition to following our program very carefully and completely.
When the normal cancer recovery metabolic pathway is blocked or inhibited from
resolving malignant tumors you must seek other more painful, drastic, devastating,
damaging and temporary methods of addressing these malignant tumors. These
methods are only temporary and the tumors always return, usually more vicious than
before unless you also use Dr.Kelley's total metabolic program.

Biography
I  am Dr. William Donald Kelley, a Dentist and an Orthodontist. Very early in the
1960s I  was given two months to live, my diagnosis was "Terminal Pancreatic
Cancer" which had metastasized to the liver and throughout my body. Through
extensive research and much trial and error, I  developed my Cancer Cure Paradigm.
Now, 40 years later, I am CANCER FREE from the most deadly of all cancer!
There is no therapy, orthodox or alternative that can cure pancreatic cancer other
than my program! All other pancreatic cancer cure rates are 0% while MY pancreatic
cancer cure rate was 100%; provided the patient had at least six months to live and
followed my program exactly.
Typically, a six-month or less diagnosis is common in the medical industry and is
based upon the experience of the orthodox medical community. The fact is, only God
has control over this facet of our lives. I  will never give up helping people until God
says I  have learned all of my lessons in this; "Beautiful Kindergarten Called "Life".
Graduation to first grade is up to Him.

Winning The Cancer War
Truth In Cancer?
Since I  cured myself of cancer in the 1960s, I  have guided over 33,000 victims to
health, always pointing out this little known fact: In 1900, only one out of 8,000
people developed cancer in their lifetime.
Since the 1960s, the CANCER RATE has increased to one out of every two men,
and two out of 3 women. The cancer industry calls this "Progress Against Cancer"!
The fact is, they are not winning the war on cancer but are actually "Waging a War
by Cancer"  on "We the People
Have you ever noticed in the spring of each year, just around Cancer Awareness
Month, the media bombards us with propaganda such as: "We almost have the cure
for cancer." Or, "In a year or so, we w ill have a new drug


someone tests its resistance. When we hold an unloving 62 HEALING AND RECOVERY
thought in mind, the arm will instantly go weak
because the body is immediately reflecting what the
mind believes.
As we move into the decision to be forgiving and
compassionate, to be that which supports and nurtures
life instead ofcondemning it or moralistically putting it
down and getting into a'make wrong' scenario, and as
we become willing to let go of the'make wrong', we
let go of attacking ourself for being ill. Some people
who are involved in spiritual work or metaphysical
studies will compound the problem by making them
selves wrong because they have a physical illness. It is
helpful to have the willingness to accept whatever is
being expressed on the physical level, to look within
our own consciousness to see what is being brought to
our attention, and to see that whatever is occurring in
our life is happening in order to come up to be healed.
Instead of being ashamed that we are a spiritual
seeker with a physical illness, we instead become
thankful and say, "Aha! Something is coming up to be
healed."We want that capacity to bring up the various
things to be healed; thus, it is a sign of progress, not of
falling back.We can be happy that we have a chance to
heal these things that, paradoxically, are actually
brought up by major or rapid spiritual progress (Le.,
karma). Most of the great mystics of history had
records of many physical illnesses (e.g., see"Mystics" in
Encyclopaedia Britannica).
An illness is merely our consciousness calling atten
tion to something that needs to be looked at.There is
something about which we are feeling guilty, fearful, or
other negative emotion. There is a belief system we are 63 ASSISTING HEALING
holding that has to be let go of and cancelled. There is
something that has to be forgiven, and something with
in us that has to be loved, so we thank: whatever it is for
bringing it to our awareness. We say,"Thank: you, ulcer.
I see.You forced me to look at the way in which I was
condemning myself and not loving myself.Thank: you,
hypoglycemia, for showing me how much I have been
living in fear." We thank: all· our illnesses because they
have brought us to that willingness and acceptance to
move into the field of lovingness and the joy of realiz
ing now, out of compassion, that this is how the body
brings about self-healing.
The pain serves a purpose, and we now hold it in a
different way. We are going to make lemonade out of
lemons. Instead of going into self-pity or resentment
about an illness, instead of'poor me' or being a victim,
we say, "What is that trying to tell me? What is it that
I'm supposed to learn?" We get interested in learning
about the nature of consciousness and finding out
what is underlying the illness so we can heal it through
a greater understanding.
The first tools we need are willingness and an open
mind-the willingness to say that the mind is looking
at something which it is being asked to view so it can
be healed. The healing of the body comes about with
the healing of the mind. All the physical illnesses,
which I eventually let go of, fmally healed of their own
nature as a result ofhealing the thought forms in mind.
All the healings resulted from the willingness to let go
of the condemnation of self and others, to let go of crit
icalness, self-pity, resentment, and all the negative ener
gies at the levels below 200, including regret, worry, 64 HEALING AND RECOVERY =---- -----'=-=--=~=__=__=__'__=__=c.::..c....:=___=_=_=__=__=____=_=..::....::._ _
anxiety, grievances, self-contempt, and self hatred. It
was the letting go of those things that shifted the ener
gy field to one that brought about the healing. I kept
working with it, canceling the belief systems of hypo
glycemia and gout. As each belief system would come
up, I would cancel it and say, "I no longer believe in
that. I am no longer subject to that. It is the result of a
belief system, and I have the power to cancel it."Thus,
we begin to own that we have the power to refuse,
reject,anddeny."I have the powerto refuse that.I don't
have to buy into that."
Because these beliefsystems are so prevalent in our
culture, we naively think that they must have a certain
reality or else everybody would not believe them. The
only reality they have is on the level of a thought form.
The fact that there is agreement about a certain
thought form does not give it a reality. It only means
that there is an agreement about it. Therefore, I can
refuse to buy into the collective belief systems about
all these various diseases, and I watch as those pro
grams come in. I refuse to believe in all the well-inten
tioned educational programs about all these diseases
hypoglycemia, gout, heart disease, cholesterol, etc. As
each illness is devised, we become subject to it.We are
subject to what we believe in mind.
Ifwe think eating eggs is going to raise our choles
terol, and we think raising our cholesterol is going to
give us heart trouble, then eating eggs does raise our
cholesterol, and the cholesterol does give us heart trou
ble because of the power of the mind. Mind is so pow
erful that it creates the thought form which manifests
on the physical plane, thus becoming a physical reality. 65 ASSISTING HEALING
We can see that self-healing then really depends on the
reversal of the usual belief systems of causality. What
we hold in mind manifests on the physical level; it is
not the other way around. Eating the cholesterol did
not give us the heart problem; it was the belief that eat
ing a lot of cholesterol gives us heart trouble.That is a
very critical point to grasp.The beliefsystem elucidates
the entire disease picture.
If we don't believe it, the illnesses disappear from
the body. At the same time, we are letting go of the
sources of unconscious guilt and stopping the rein
forcement ofthe illnesses that comes from labeling and
propagating them, thereby bringing about a fulftllment
of our own self-prophecies and watchfulness.
We cannot allow the mind to come up with a belief
system without challenging it. Ifthe mind unconsciously
has been working against us, and we have been unaware
of how much power it has, we can turn it around and
use that power on our own behalf.The same power that
undid us can now work for us when we consciously uti
lize the power of mind. Now, when the thought comes
up, "I have hypoglycemia;' I stop it, I cancel it, and I say
the truth: "I am no longer subject to that. I am an inno
cent being. I am no longer subject to that."
Hypoglycemia is a good example because it took
me a considerable amount of time to undo that one.
After all, I had given lectures about it for many years. It
was operative clinically within me as an actual physical
reality. I did a lot of work on nutrition, especially on its
relationship to addiction, and to alcoholism in particu
lar. It was a very important issue. I was a ftrm believer
in it when I came to the understanding and realization 66 HEALING AND RECOVERY
that my ftrm belief in it was then operating within my
body, which was expressing my mind's belief in hypo
glycemia. Therefore, I had to keep. canceling it repeat
edly and stating the truth about it. Eventually, the con
dition of severe hypoglycemia disappeared, and the
abnormal blood sugars corrected themselves. After
many years with this disease, I ftnally let go ofthe belief
system of hypoglycemia and recovered from it. It took
about two years of using the technique.
The various illnesses disappeared within differing
periods of time. Some of them disappeared within a
matter of days; some even disappeared within an hour.
Others took months, and the hypoglycemia took the
longest, other than a blocked Eustachian tube that took
two years. (I forgot to include that on my list of illness
es.) I never gained weight and no longer had any hypo
glycemic symptoms; it just no longer existed in my life.
There is the principle of watchfulness. Because the
mind is so powerful, we cannot let it get away with a
negative belief system even once. Every time the
thought, "I'm allergic" comes up, it has to be instantly
challenged and cancelled. One powerful thought, as
you can see, is sufftcient to create it on the physical
plane, so we cannot be sloppy about this work. We
have


 brain tumor is enclosed within the skull, where there is no room to accommodate  the
swelling.. Instead, the ‘healing inflammation’ with its swelling causes serious pressure, which is
likely to bring on seizures. These have to be handled carefully, reducing the swelling to decrease
the seizure activity—thus blocking the healing process! It is hard to find a middle way between
allowing inflammation, yet relieving severe headaches and seizures. Understandably the dilemma
also worries the patient. There have been several who gave up on the Gerson Therapy and returned
to orthodox treatment.
Bone Metastases:   Certain cancers can be counted on to produce metastases ( spreading of
malignancy)  into specific tissues. Thus a majority of prostate and breast cancers, if they spread,
are found to have migrated to the bone(s).
Bone tissue is difficult to heal. While a regular tissue lesion, sewed up, can be relied on to
heal within a week to ten days, a bone fracture will take many weeks, often even several months
to heal. As bone metastases are painful, the patient must remain determined and strong-minded,
knowing that the healing will take a long time.
Open Breast Cancer Lesions:  While Dr. Gerson warned that cancers within glands are more
difficult to reach, generally breast cancer has responded well to the therapy over many years.
The situation changes if and when the breast tumor breaks through the skin: open lesions leading
possibly to infections are much more difficult to heal, and require the best possible care and much Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007.  All rights reserved.

Leukemias:  There are several kinds of chronic leukemia, usually of the age-onset type,
which do not present special problems. However, the rapid-advance childhood leukemias must
be stopped rapidly. This is far from easy. For various reasons, such as difficulty in administering
the complete intensive Gerson Therapy, the child’s resistance or other external problems, the
effectiveness of the treatment is hampered and slowed down. When this happens, an acute
leukaemia can possibly advance too rapidly for the therapy to stop and reverse it.
Multiple Myeloma:  Like leukemias, this condition does not belong in the class of solid
tumors. It is a disease of the bone marrow, with myeloma cells ‘forming multiple tumor masses.’
These infiltrate the surrounding bone, generally the blood-forming long bones of the upper leg,
but other parts of the skeleton as well.
The disease occurs more frequently in men than in women, by a ratio of 3:1. Since it damages
the blood-forming bone marrow, it causes anemia and renal (kidney) lesions. As explained above,
it is always more difficult to heal bone lesions, and this also applies to Multiple Myeloma. It
takes longer, and—according to Dr. Gerson’s observations confirmed by the latest research on
this condition, it also requires more Vitamin B 12 than other kinds of cancer. Due to the invasion
of bone by Myeloma tissue, it is also possible for pathologic fractures (weakened bone breaking
without external cause) to occur. On the Gerson Therapy we have seen such fractures heal, very
slowly.
Long Term Prednisone Treatment and/or Chemotherapy : All drugs are liver-toxic, hence
long-term use causes severe liver damage. Prednisone, a powerful steroid routinely prescribed
for Multiple Sclerosis, lupus, arthritis and many other conditions, depletes the body’s defenses
and causes considerable organ damage. If this damage becomes excessive due to long-term use,
it can be difficult or even impossible to truly heal, i.e., fully restore the liver and other essential
organs.
Chemotherapy is much more toxic. While we have seen many reversals of chemo-treated
patients’ disease, beyond a certain point the damage caused by powerful chemotherapy is no
longer reversible. As a general rule, patients treated for lengthy periods with toxic drugs are more
difficult to heal than those who were treated for only a short time or, preferably, not at all.
Diseases Not Curable by the Gerson Therapy:
The list of chronic degenerative diseases that are curable by the Gerson Therapy includes
some 1500 conditions. However, a very small number of diseases, mainly those affecting the
Central Nervous System, do not respond well, or not at all, to the nutritional healing approach. It
has to be understood that the Central Nervous System, comprising the brain and spinal cord, is Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007.  All rights reserved.
This material may not be reproduced in any medium, print or electronic without prior written permission from the author.Page 8 1Healing the Gerson Way—Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases
www.thegersonway.comso highly specialized that it does not replace lost tissue; for that reason it is almost impossible to
heal serious damage afflicting this area.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, A.L.S.:   This is also known as Motor Neuron Disease
(M.N.D.), or popularly as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. While orthodox medicine considers its cause
unknown, in our experience all affected patients had had extensive exposure to pesticides.
Interestingly, while we were able to obtain healthy young calves’ livers and produce liver juice for
the treatment of these patients, a number of them showed considerable improvement. Since liver
juice is no longer safe, owing to widespread campylobacter infection, A.L.S patients have made
little progress toward healing with the Gerson Therapy, although they deteriorate more slowly
than they would without it. We consider that a failure.
Parkinson’s Disease, P.D.:   This belongs to a group of conditions called motor system
disorders, which result from the loss of dopamine-producing brain cells. The four primary
symptoms of PD are tremor, or trembling in hands, arms, legs, jaw and face; rigidity, or stiffness of
the limbs and trunk; bradykinesia, or slowness of movement; and postural instability, or impaired
balance and coordination. As these symptoms worsen, patients have difficulty in walking, talking,
or completing simple tasks.
P.D. usually affects people over the age of 50, and is also known as paralysis agitans,  or
popularly as “shaking palsy.” The allopathic treatment normally uses dopamines and several
other drugs, which help the patient to function for a while, but do not cure the problem. The
Gerson Therapy has also failed to produce a cure.
Alzheimer’s Disease:  Described as pre-senile dementia, this condition is caused by the
atrophy (wasting) of the frontal and occipital (rear) lobes of the brain. According to Taber’s
medical cyclopedia, it causes “progressive and irreversible deterioration of intellectual function,
apathy, speech and gait disturbance, disorientation and loss of memory.” In many cases it responds
reasonably well to the Gerson Therapy, which alleviates and/or much improves the most severe
symptoms. However, only brain cells that are diseased or damaged can be improved and even
restored. Those that are dead are gone, so the disease is not cured.
Chronic Kidney Disease:  If this has advanced to the point of requiring dialysis, it cannot
be reversed. The specific function of the kidneys is to remove the waste products of protein
digestion (urea, uric acid, creatinine), as well as excess minerals (sodium, potassium) or other
toxic substances from the blood, in order to maintain homeostasis of the system. This is done via a
delicate filter system of structures, sacs, the glomeruli; if the latter lose their permeability through
inflammation and excess toxins and can no longer function, disease sets in.
However, if disease has damaged kidney function by no more than 80% and 20% is still
active, the condition can be treated and patients can improve and survive. Yet kidney tissue,
similar to brain tissue (see above), when dead is gone. Therefore the kidney patient whose
condition has been improved on the Gerson protocol can never revert to a so-called “normal” Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007.  All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.comaverage diet. The price of survival is to remain on the Gerson program for life. In brief, kidney
disease is treatable and can achieve long-term survival, but it is not curable. Once dialysis has
been started, normally when kidney function drops below 10%, the patient should NOT attempt
to go on the Gerson Therapy.
Emphysema:  This is another disease that can be greatly alleviated, but not cured. Also
referred to as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,  emphysema causes changes in the structure
of the air sacs that filter out carbon dioxide for secretion, and allow oxygen to pass into the blood.
Here the lung tissue is severely damaged by smoking, air pollution toxins or inflammation, so that
it loses its permeability and the exchange of gases is seriously inhibited. The sick tissue can be

 or runny (e.g., diarrhea), use a good
herbal bowel formula made from Slippery Elm Bark, Marshmallow Root,and/or Chamomile. These types of formulas will help firm your stools, and at
the same time remove the toxicity and inflammation that cause diarrhea in the
first place. Some formulas have bentonite clay and charcoal in them, which
are also acceptable.
A FEW DEFINITIONS
Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach.
Enteritis is inflammation of the small intestine.
Colitis is the inflammation of the colon or large intestine.
Diverticulitis is the inflammation of bowel (intestinal) pockets, which
form from our S.A.D. (Standard American Diet).

A raw food diet is essential to heal, repair, and strengthen the tissues of
the GI tract. If you feel you cannot handle the roughage in raw foods, use the
herbal bowel formula to buffer the discomfort. This will only be temporary,
as it does not take long to reduce the inflammation in the GI tract.
Most people have the opposite problem: constipation. Constipation is
very hard on the body in many ways, including the absorption of putrefaction
from foods that are being held in the intestines. The destruction of the
intestinal wall can also begin as a result, especially if these food residues
become impacted. Keep the bowels moving with lots of fresh raw fruits and
vegetables, and use a good bowel-corrective formula until your colon is clean
and healthy.
The best bowel formulas are designed to accomplish the above plus
restore and rebuild normal bowel peristalsis. (See
Appendix C
—
Resource
Guide
—for companies that supply the best bowel formulas.) A good formula
will strengthen and tone the bowel without addiction. It will also heal the
inflammation and ulcerations from acid-food eating.
Chamomile or peppermint tea is great for inflamed bowels. Both teas
soothe smooth muscle tissue. The consumption of 2-ounces of aloe vera juice
three times a day is also very helpful. However, aloe may cause a little
diarrhea. Two other botanicals that can reduce inflammation of the
gastrointestinal tract are Slippery Elm and Marshmallow Root. Make a tea out
of these by using 1 teaspoon of herb to 1 cup of water. Boil the tea for 8
minutes, then let it steep for another 5 minutes. Strain and drink. Taking 1
cupful, 3-6 times per day, would be an appropriate dose. NOTE: In case of
severe constipation, you may need to add a more powerful purgative herb.This should be for short-term treatment, as these formulas can be very
addicting. Also, colonics are highly recommended in these cases. (More on
the use of colonics later in this chapter, see Module 6.12.)
ACHES AND PAIN

There can be many aches and pains during the cleansing and healing process.
Wherever there is a weakness in the body, it will show itself through aches
and pains. The body will tug, draw and pull the toxicity out of itself. This
process can also cause pain in degenerative areas. These aches and pains are
normal and should not be feared. Most will last anywhere from a few hours
to a week. After the crisis (healing crisis), you will notice that particular area
becoming much stronger than before.
Pain is a result of acidosis that has created inflammation. This can
stimulate or degenerate the nervous system. Pain also develops where energy
becomes blocked in the body from toxins, splinters, clots, cholesterol, acid
crystalline deposits (uric, calciumate, etc.) and chemical medications.
We have been taught to treat the pain or get rid of the symptom. But,
drugs that block pain may also block the healing process. In the science of
natural health, however, we learn that the cause, not the symptom, must be
eliminated. Pain is our warning sign to stop and cleanse our bodies naturally.
Masking the symptoms of pain by unnatural means can set the body up for
future degenerative problems, as the cause of the pain is ignored. This allows
for a continuation along the path of degeneration of tissues.
Pain can have many different levels depending on the degree of
inflammation or tissue degeneration. However, in bone cancer, other types of
cancer, shingles, and certain other conditions, it may become necessary to use
a pain medication. Too much pain can weaken the spirit and the body to the
point of death. Since pain medications cause constipation, the person taking
them will want to stay on a bowel formula to enhance bowel management. It
is necessary to always keep the bowels moving, especially when detoxifying,
as this process creates an extra burden of toxins to be eliminated.
Working with the Detoxification Pain
For painful situations, alternating hot and cold compresses can be used.
Arnica oil, used topically, can also help. Castor oil packs are also beneficial.When these methods are not enough, painful situations should be monitored
closely by a healthcare professional. Remember that pain is acid. Alkalize
yourself always.
VOMITING

Most people do not vomit unless they are extremely toxic or have been on
many chemical medications, which can accumulate in the tissue of the
stomach. Vomiting is quite normal when the stomach needs to eliminate
toxins and mucus quickly. Some people will even vomit worms or parasites
that have developed in the upper GI tract. However, vomiting is rarely
experienced on this program.
What to Do For Vomiting
Vomiting is the natural way the body uses to clean the stomach when too
many poisons,
mucus, toxins or parasites have accumulated within its tissues.
Ginger, Mint or Chamomile tea will help soothe the stomach and ease the
spasms. These teas will help promote liver and intestinal function, aiding in
your relief.
FEVERS (THERMOTHERAPY)

Fevers are a natural process that your body uses to eliminate toxins quickly,
including pus, mucus, parasites and even unwanted cells. Your skin is your
body’s largest eliminative organ. According to the American Medical
Association, the body eliminates upwards of two pounds or more of wastes
per day through the skin under normal circumstances. When the body is
cleansing even more elimination is needed.
Most adults will develop fevers under or around 103° Fahrenheit.
Always drink plenty of pure water and fresh fruit or vegetable juices during
times of cleansing. Never let the body dehydrate. You can use cold showers,
baths, or a cold wash cloth on the forehead or on the back of the neck to cool
yourself down a little.
Children can naturally have fevers of 104° to 105° Fahrenheit, so don’t
panic. Again, the most important issue in these cases is hydration. Manyparasites are killed during these high fevers through both heat and the
increase of white blood cells.
It has been stated that fevers above 106° kill cancer cells. At 110°
Fahrenheit, you begin to kill your healthy cells. Elevated temperatures are
created from the thyroid gland and hypo-thalamus by the cellular release of
interleukin-1, which then stimulates and releases the prostaglandin E2
(PGE2) from the hypothalamus, which in turn creates diaphoresis (sweating).
This dilates the vascular system and creates activity in the sweat glands.
Sweating pushes the toxins out through the skin; these toxins are then
oxidized (eaten by skin mites) or washed away. This is vital in assisting the
body in proper elimination. Fevers stimulate the immune sys tem to increase
white blood cells and interferon. This enhances the immune system
considerably, calling out its army to do battle.
The body has its own intelligence; we only need to understand it. Never
fear a natural process that the body uses to help itself stay healthy. Fevers are
just one of the mechanisms used to accomplish this. Don’t fear a fever—
understand it! If you fear anything about fevers, it would be dehydration.
Most people, through acidosis, are always dehydrated to some degree. Learn
all you can about the ways of nature. This will help you immensely on your
journey toward health and vitality.
Working with a Fever Caused by Detoxification
In case of high fever, keep yourself hydrated. Drink plenty of distilled water,
fresh fruit juices or vegetable juices. You can place a cold cloth on the back
of the neck and forehead, and you can also take a cold bath. Do not suppress
this natural reaction of the body. NOTE: Liquid minerals may be added to
your water or juice for better hydration. This can be very important in highly
depleted cases.
GENERAL INFLAMMATION
Inflammation does not always need to be eliminated. Inflammation from
a histamine response is one method the body uses to dilate the vascular
system, which brings in additional blood and immune factors during a crisis
or when an irritant is involved. Hot and cold compresses can help. There are
many anti-inflammatory botanicals available, e.g., Wild Yam Root,
Marshmal-low Root, Slippery Elm, Comfrey (leaves and root). Inflammation
is always acidic, so alkalize, alkalize and alkalize! Raw fruits and vegetables
are your best alkalizers. Sodium is called the “Great Alkalizer.”FACTS ABOUT DEHYDR

  a free act! If man  is not free,  thrcats and
promises may modify his conduct, but  they will
not change it in any essential respect. If he is free,
threats and promises will not make him use  his
freedom.
The meaning of freedom can nevcr be grasped
by the divided mind. If I feel separate from my
experi - ence,  and f rom the world,  freedom  will
seem  to be  the extent to which I can push the
world around,  and fate the extent to which the
world pushes me around. But to the whole mind
there is no contrast  of "I" and the world. There
is just one process act- ing, and it <loes
everything that happens. It raises my little finger
and it creates earthquakes. Or, if you  want to
put it that way, / raise my liulc finger and  also
make earthquakes. No one fates and no one is
being  fated.
Of course  this is a strange  view  of frcedom.  We are
accustomed  to think  that,  if there  is any freedom
at
122  CREATIVE  MORALITY
all, it resides, not in nature, but in the separale
hu- man  will  and  its power  of choice.
But what  we ordinarily  mean  by choice  is not
free- dom. Choiccs are usually decisions
motivated by  pleasure and pain, and the divided
mind acls with  the sole purpose of getting 'T'
into pleasure and out of pain. But the best
pleasures are those for which  we do not plan,
and the worst  part  of pain  is expect - ing it and
trying to get away from it when it has  come.
You cannot  plan  to be happy.  You can plan  to exisl,
but in themselves existence and non -existence
are neither plcasurnble nor painful. l am cvcn
as- surcd by doctors that there are circumslances
under  which  dearh  can be a highly  pleasant
expericnce.
The sense  of not being  free  comes  from  trying
to
do things which are impossible and cven
meaning - less. You are not "free" to draw a
square circle, to  livc without a head, or to stop
ccrtain rellex actions.  Thcse  are not obstacles  to
freedom;  they  are the con- ditions of frccdom. I am
not free to draw a circlc if  perchance ic should
turn out to be a square circle. I  am not, thank
heaven,  free to walk  out of doors  and lcave my
hcad at home. Likewise I am not free to  live in
any moment but this one, or to separate my - sclf
from  rny feelings.   In short  I am nol free when   I am
trying lo do something contradietory, such as to
move without changing posirion, or to burn my
fin- ger without  feeling  pain.
123 THE  WISDOM  OF INSECURITY
On che orher hand, I am free, che world process
1s free,  to do anything which  is not a
contradiction.  The question then arises:  is it a
comradiction,  is it impossiblc,  10 act  or to decide
without  pleasure as  the ultimate aim? The theory
that we must  incvit - ably  do what  gives  us the
greater  pleasure  or the lesser pain, is a
meaningless asscrtion based on ver - bal confusion.
To say that I decide to do something  because it
pleases me says only that I decide to do it  because
I decide to do it. lf "pleasure"  is defined  in the
beginning as "what I prefcr," then what I prcfer
will always be plcasurc. If I prefer pain, like a mas -
ochist,  then  pain  will be pleasure.  l n shon,  the
the- ory begs the question at the start by saying
that pleas - ure means what we <lesire:  therefore
anything that  we desire  is pleasure.
But I fall straight  int0  contradiction  when  1 try
to
act and decide in ordcr to be happy, wben  1 make
"being plcased" my future goal. For the more my
ac- tions  are directed  towards  future  pleasures,
the more  1 am incapable of enjoying any
pleasures at ali.  For all pleasures are present, and
nothing save complete  awarencss of the prcsem
can even bcgin to guaran - Lee flllure happincss. I
can act in order to eat tomor - row, or takc a trip to
the moumains next week, but  there is rcally no
way of bcing certain that this will  make me happy.
On the contrary, it is common cx- periencc that
nothing ruins a "pleasure" so muchas  watching
yoursel(  in the midst  of it to scc whether
121 CREATIVE  MORALITY
it pleases you.  You  can only  live in onc  moment
at a time, and you cannot think simultancously
about  listening to thc wavcs and whethcr you are
enjoying  listening to the waves.  Comradictions  of
this kind  are the only  real  typcs  of action
without  frcedom.
There  is anothcr  thcory  of detcrminism  which
states that ali our actions are motivated by
"uncon - scious mental rncchanisms," and chat for
this reason  even  the most spontaneous  dccisions
are not free.  This is but anothcr cxample of split -
mincledncss, for what  is the difTerence  between
"me"  and "mental  mechanisms"  whcther
conscious  or unconscious?  Who is being moved by
these processes? Thc notion  that anyonc is bcing
mocivatcd comes frorn  the per - sisting illusion of
·•r." The real man, the organism - in-relacion -to-
thc-univcrse, is this unconscious moti - vation.  And
because he is iL, he is not bcing moved  by it. In
othcr words, it is not motivation;  it is sim- ply
operation. Moreover, thcr c is no "unconscious"
mind distinct  from  the conscious,  for the "uncon -
scious" mind  is conscious,  though  not of itself,
just as che eyes  see but do not see themselves.
There remains the supposition that che whole
op- eration,  the whole  process  o( action  which
is man -
and-univcrsc,  is a determined  series  of evcnts  in
which  every  evcnt  is the inevitable  result  of past
causes.
We cannot go  into  this problem  exhaustively or
even  adequacely.  But it is perhaps  enough  to
realize
125 THE  WISDOM  OF INSECURITY
for the moment Lhat this is one of the biggest
"open  questions"  of science,  which  is far from
reaching a decision. The idea LhaL the past
deLermines the pres - ent can be an illusion o[
language. Ilccause we must  describe the prescnt  in
terms of the past,  it would  seem  that  the past
"cxplains"  the present.  To say "how"  something
happened,  wc describe  the chain  of events  of
which  it seemed  to be a part.
Thc botLle smashed. It fell to the floor. I lct it go.
My fingcrs  were slippery.  I had soap 011 my
hands.  Is it lcgiLimate to put the word  "because"
between  these statements? We do so as a rule, for
we can make  the safe  bet that  if I!et go of the
boule,  it will fall to the floor. But this <loes  not
prove that  I caused it  to fall, or that it must  havc
fallen.  Evcnts  look in - evitable in retrospect
because when  they have hap- pened,  nothing can
change  them.  Yct the fact that  I can make safc
bets could prove cqually  well  that  events  are not
determined  but consislenl.  In other  words, che
universal process acts freely and sponta - neously
at every  moment,  but tends  to throw  out events  in
regular,  and so predictable,  sequcnces.

About the AuthorsForeword

Are medical miracles real and is there a spiritual reason they occur?
Is there  a place for euthanasia in the mind of the spiritu al seeker?
Can participating in open-heart surgery and dissecting cadavers tell
a medic al student anything about the soul? Is there an intersection
between spirituality and physicality where the two become one?
Let’s get more direct with our questions.
Is there a place for God in the system of modern Western
medicine? Should metaphysical/spiritual principles be part of the
medical school curriculum? Is keeping patients alive an appropriate
top priority for doctors?
The answer to all of the above questions is yes.
It’s time we take a look at all this, don’t you think? From a new
point of view, I mean. From the standpoint of contemporary
spirituality. From a place outside the box of our past, and even some
of our current, thinking. It’ s time, yes?
Yes.
So I got on the telephone at the request of a young doctor from
Canada (it was all her idea, and I’m glad she had it) and talked with
her in weekly  conversations  over a period of several months to
explore Where God and Medicine Meet.
That’ s the title of a book she said she urgently desired to write
as a result of what she said were two highly meaningful and deeply
impacting experiences in her life: her movement through, and
graduation from, medical school, and her attendance at nine SpiritualRenewal Intensives—5-day retreats which I facilitated over the final
two years of her medical training.
Her medical school curriculum had as its foundation the
traditional model of Western Medicine. My retreats, on the other
hand, were based on a very non-traditional (to put it mildly) spiritual
model explored in the Conversations with God series of books. Thus,
over a period of the same 24 months, now Dr. Brit Cooper (she
graduated from the University of British Columbia Medical School in
the Class of 2015) found herself continually confronting the
crossroads of spirituality and physicality, engaging both aspects of
the human encounter with life in a way that few others might ever
experience.
When I first met Dr. Cooper as she attended a CwG retreat in
June of 2013, I experienced her as a remarkably articulate, highly
intelligent young woman of 22, who I learned was the youngest
member of her medical school class, following undergraduate studies
in math and science at the University of Victoria. It was a delight to
have her in the room.
I was happily surprised to see her at our very next retreat
several months later, and knew then that something she had heard
and experienced in relationsh ip to her spiritual life had struck a deep
chord within her. I did not, however, expect to see her at seven more
CwG  retreats, and to emerge as one of our most empowering global
spokespersons, having then attended, just after earning her M.D.
degree, our CwG  School for Messengers.
Brit had become one of the most energetic and purely
motivated students of Conversations with God that I have
encountered in 20 years of sharing its spiritually revolutionaryconcepts. So when she asked me if we might produc e a book
together on the nexus between God and Medicine—a topic that she
felt definitely needed exploring, given her medical school experience
—I immediately agreed.
I knew this would be a text of immediate interest not only to
those in minist ries and medicine, but to all the people they served. I
couldn’t imagine anything more fascinating—or vital to the human
family.
Thank you for visiting this dialogue with amazing Dr. Brit Cooper
and myself. We would both be interested in, and grateful for, your
response. Please feel free to join in the dialogue at

A NEW DIALOGUE ON HEALTH,
WELLNESS,  AND SPIRITUALITYChapter One

THE DIALOGUE BEGINS:
Who Are We Really?

DR. COOPER: I have found one of the most powerful inquiries of the
Conversations with God material to be the Four Fundamental
Questions of Life:

1. Who am I?
2. Where am I?
3. Why am I where I am?
4. What do I intend to do about that?
It was the answering of these questions that catapult


 they are designed for fruit. Wherever humans have
chosen to venture on planet Earth, they have carried this physiologica l predilection for tropical fruit with them. People who live in
temperate areas still require the foods for which they were designed, j ust as zoo animals that are geographically relocated still retain
their physical requirements.
In fact, it may be even more important for people who live in a cool climate to obt ain tropical fruits, as these people often must
do without other essential healthful-living conditions that are com mon to the tropics (warm temperatures, clean air, rural living, year-
round sunshine, sounds of nature, pure water, etc.). If you live in an area w here tropical fruits are scarce, it may be well worth your
while to consider which other environmentally essential factors y ou are also doing without, and to supply them to the best of your
ability.
Training ourselves to once again eat fruit, a practice that held us i n good stead for thousands of generations, is as rewarding for
our health as it is delicious.

Chapter 6. Protein: 10% Maximum

Of the three caloronutrients, protein is certainly the most discuss ed, and the most misunderstood. I begin with a discussion of
protein in order to clear the air about this vital nutrient, with the in tention of not discussing it again in the remainder of this book.
The need for protein has been greatly exaggerated by market forc es, and protein’s functions have been misrepresented. This
chapter discusses why we need protein and where we obtain protein on a low-f at 80/10/10  diet. We put the protein issues to rest
and then get to the heart of the 80/10/10  diet, carbohydrates and fats.

How Much Protein Do We Need?
I often respond to the question, “where do you get your protein?” with seve ral questions of my own: “How much protein do
you think we need?” “How much protein do you think you currently eat?” “W hat exactly is the function of protein?” “Have you ever
met anyone with a protein deficiency?”
Although I have met many people who have begun to or are considering vector ing their diets away from animal foods, I rarely
meet anyone who has a reasonable response to these queries. Usually the y tell me that we need large quantities of protein for
energy, or to stay strong, or to keep us from getting sick. Nothing could be f urther from the truth. Protein’s primary function is
growth, which is negligible in adults, as well as repair from injury a nd replacement of worn-out cells.

Official Guidelines Recommend 10% Protein
Sometimes I wonder whether the official nutritional guidelines for  caloronutrient consumption are intentionally vague and
confusing in order to better serve influential market forces. I mean, a fter 100 + years of testing we have a fairly good idea of which
foods are most nutritious for us. Still, the U.S. government officially re commends that our protein intake should be somewhere
between 10 and 35% of total calories consumed. It is extremely difficult to con sume more than a quarter of your calories from
protein, however, unless you are following a strict regimen of refined pr otein powder and egg whites. Currently fewer than 5% of
Americans eat more than 21% of their calories from protein, with the bell  curve ranging from 11 to 21%. 36
Despite the advertising hype of the meat and dairy industries, humans require an extraordinarily low amount of protein in
their diets.  Many official groups, including the World Health Organization, 37  the U.S. National Academies’ Institute of Medicine, 38
and the National Research Council 39  suggest that eating a mere 10% of our total calories as protein is suffi cient.
Mother’s milk provides on average approximately 6% of calories from pr otein for growing infants. 40  This should be ample
proof that adults do not need more protein per calorie than this, as infants, wi th their extremely rapid rate of growth, have the highest
need for protein per calorie of all humans.
Proteins (or more accurately, amino acids) are the building blocks of livi ng cells. Once we have done our growing, we have
very little requirement for the raw materials of which we are made. Think of the analogy of building a brick house: you need
truckloads of bricks during the construction stage. Once the house is buil t, however, if trucks continue to deliver bricks, you have a
problem on your hands. The same is true of protein in the human diet: too much c reates emergency conditions and keeps the body in
a constant state of toxicity.
For those accustomed to seeing your protein recommendation in terms of gra ms or calories per unit of body weight, the 2003
U.S. RDA for protein is 0.36 grams per pound of body weight, or 0.8 grams per kilogram (1 kilogra m = 2.2 lbs). The RDA
calculates these numbers for a “typical” (sedentary) female a nd male who eat 1,600 and 2,200 calories per day, respectively,
arriving at a suggested 44 grams of protein for a female and 55 grams for a  male. See the sidebar entitled “Calculating Y our Protein
Intake” later in this chapter for sample calculations.

10% Protein Includes a Wide Safety Margin
The national and international organizations that set nutrient g uidelines build into their numbers a margin of safety that increase s
the recommendations substantially, often near double. The 1989 U.S. RDA for prote in of 0.8 g/kg/day, for example, was designed
to meet the needs of 97.5% of a normally distributed population. It was calculate d as follows: 41

Conduct nitrogen balance studies to determine the mean amount of pr otein required to replace daily “obligatory losses”
through sweat, urine, feces, and sloughed skin, hair, and nails.
Add two standard deviations (25%) to this mean value.
Add margins for digestibility and protein quality.
In his book The China Study, renowned Cornell University professor emeritus of nutritional bioche mistry T. Colin Campbell
states that we require only 5–6% of our total calories to come from protei n in order to replace the protein we routinely lose, and that
“About 9–10% protein has been recommended for the past fifty years  to be assured that most people at least get their 5–6%
‘requirement.’” 42
In addition to the safety margin, this recommendation assumes that peopl e eat their protein cooked. Given that cooking
substantially deranges protein and other nutrients, we can safely c onsume far less raw plant protein and still be assured of sufficient
nourishment. Thus, you can see that 10% protein (maximum) is both suffic ient and reasonable.
The additional protein afforded by the built-in safety factor is not a problem, per se, except that overconsumption of protein
can lead to health problems, which will be discussed later in this chapte r. The more important concern is relative overconsumption
of protein. In other words, if we overconsume one of the three caloronutrient s, we are likely to underconsume one or both of the
others.
The fact that our protein needs actually run in the single digits (u nder 10%) often surprises people. Most all of us have
unwittingly fallen prey to meat-industry propaganda that would lead us  to believe otherwise. Truly, advertising has influenced our
perception of reality so widely that the concept of “getting enough protein” is embedded in the culture.

Athletes and Bodybuilders: 10% Still Plenty
Bodybuilders have long consumed extra protein and lowered carbohydrate inta ke in the mistaken belief that dietary protein
builds muscle. In reality, only weight-bearing exercise builds musc le. When insufficient carbohydrates are supplied, it is true that
protein requirements go up, as the body transforms the protein into carbohydra te (an energy-expensive process) and utilizes it for
fuel. This does not, however, bring about the result they desire.

No Extra Protein Required for Physical Activity
Bodybuilders may be interested to note that in its extensive study of prote in requirements, the Institute of Medicine/Food and
Nutrition Board determined that no additional protein needed to be added to the RDA  to account for physical activity:
“There is little evidence that muscular activity increases t he need for protein, except for the small amount required for the
development of muscles during physical conditioning  (Torun Et al., 1977). Vigorous activity that leads to profuse sweating, such
as in heavy work and sports, and exposure to heat increases nitrogen loss fr om the skin, but with acclimatization to a warm
environment, the excessive skin loss [loss by perspiration throu gh the skin—DG] is reduced and may be partially compensated by
decreased renal excretion (WHO, 1985). In view of the margin of safety in the RDA, no increment is added for work or
training. ”43

Bodybuilders following the 80/10/10  program have found that if they supply sufficient calories from carbohy drate, their protein
needs go down dramatically, and their energy to train and their muscula r growth both increase.
Lisa Oborne, a professional bodybuilder in Canada for many years, says that s he got the best results of her career when
switching to

Q: What is the benefit of learning teachings that seem
incompr ehensible at the time?
A:  They only seem  obscure to the intellect. They plant the seed, a nd the
aspirant’ s spiritu al aura incorporates the transmitted ener gy field of the
teacher ’ s aura. Certain informati on is transformational in itself. Exposure to
high tru th initiates a yearning in the psyche. The Buddha made that
observation when he said that once a person has heard of enlightened truth,
they will never be satisfied with anything less, even though it takes
innumerable lifetimes to attain it.
It is  very impor tant to understand that any devoted spiritual stu dent can
suddenly be at an extremely high level with no advance warning. Thus, all
students should  be instructed ahead of time as to how to handle very
advanced states of consciousnes s. It is not just a catchy phrase that says that
heaven and hell are only one-tenth of an inch apart. Y ou can, in fact, go
from the very depths of hell to the most extremely advanced states.
One reason for the seemin gly endless delays on the way to
Enlightenment is doubt, which should be surrendered as a resi stance. It is
important to know that it is a ctually extremely rare for a human to be
committed to spiritual truth to the degree of seriously seeking
Enlightenment, and those who do make the commitment do so because they
are actually destined  for Enlightenment.
At this time, spi ritual evolution is proceeding at an exhilarating pace, and
spiritual information never before available is now readily accessible. Theprogress of a spiritual student of today is already accelerated and
advantaged by access to spiritua l information that in past times was limited
to the very select few.
Spiritual progress does not follow in convenient, definable, progressive
steps, as the Map of Consc iousness might seem to imply with its
progressive levels. The path is not linear. Unexpectedly, great leaps may
very well occur at any time, and all students should have the advantage of
knowing the necessary informa tion at certain points along th e way. The
knowledge that is needed at the “end” is essential right from the
“beginning.”
T o know  what it is necessary to know in order to reach Divi ne States
accelerates prog ress; otherwise,  there is an unconscious resista nce of fear
due to ignorance. This fear is overcome by the acquisition of the necessary
understanding; therefore, there is nothing left to fear, and all fear is an
illusion—a Kno wingness that is also required at very advanced states. Any
student who is serious about spiritual alignment and devotion to God, to
Love, to  T ruth, to fellow humanity, or to the alleviation of hum an suf fering
or suf fering in all sentient beings is already very far advanced.
Consistent application of any spiritual principle can unexpectedly result
in a very major and sudden leap to unanticipated levels. At that point,
memory may not even be av ailable, and instead, the Knowingness of
Spiritual T ruth presents itself si lently. Spiritual students should  accept the
reality that they are alr eady gifted. A serio us reader of a book suc h as this
could hardly be otherwise. Divinity knows its own; therefore, to  accept that
truth is to already feel joy. T o not experience joy by understanding this
means that it is being resi sted. This awareness is reinforced by
understanding that, contrary to the dualistic Newtonian paradigm  of reality,
we a re n ot just the consequence of the past. On the contrary, our present
position is due to  the attraction of potentiality, because both the past and the
future are illusions. Therefore, commitment to Enlightenment now becomes
like a magnet p ulling us toward it, and the rate of evolution is up to the
individual’ s willingness to surrender resistances.
Enlightenment is not a condition to be obtained; it is merely a certainty to
be s urrendered to, for the Self i s already one’ s Reality. It is the Self that is
attracting one to spiritual information.CHAPTER NINE

T o seek Enlightenment is to seek entrainment to the most powerful
attractor patterns. Entrainment t o a certain ener gy field on the Map simply
means that one is under its influence, similar to a gravitational pull. When
the ener gy field is below 200, the entrainment has a destructive ef fect. This
is clinically observed in the failure of cocaine addicts to recover if they
continue to listen to violent rap or heavy-metal music. The entrainment of a
negative ener gy field is possible  to escape only through consiste nt exposure
to a higher one, as is said: “ Just keep coming back—you’ll get it by
osmosis.” Recov ering addicts who leave the supportive ener gy field of their
self-help programs rather predictably relapse, for now there is no
counterbalance to the downward  pull of the negative habits. Their assertion
that they can “go it alone” is a notorious symptom of the ego’ s arrogance
and Pride, calibrating at 175, w hich is below the power of the ener gy field
required for healing.
Spiritual aspiran ts, on the other hand, are seeking to align themselves
with pow erful e ner gy fields that can lift them out of entrenched ego habits.
The key is will, a  constantly re peated act of choice. Here, the chaos-theory
principle of sensitive dependenc e on initial conditions (a slight change, over
time, can have a major impact) provides a scientific explanation of the
traditional way of spiritual progress. In all spiritual disciplines, the opening
wedge predicated for advancing one’ s awareness is described as
“willingness.” History shows what has been clinically know n as well:
persistent willingness is the trigger that activates a new attractor field and
allows one to begin to leave the old. W e may visualize a lesser attractorfield approaching a greater one, at which point the introduction of a third
element (such as free will) suddenly creates a crossover (a “saddle
pattern”), and the change takes place.
When s omeone suddenly goes from the influence of a lower attractor
field to that of a higher, it is often proclaimed a miracle. The unfortunate
verdict of human experience is that few escape the ener gy fields that
gradually come to dominate the ir behaviors. A currently popular spiritual
program designe d to facilitate s uch escape is the W orkbook (ca l. 600) of A
Course in Miracles. The purpose of this course of spiritual psychology is to
lay the necessary groundwork to precipitate a sudden jump in consciousness
through encoura ging a total c hange of perception. In more traditional
fashion, prayer and meditation a lso provide points of departure to rise from
the influence of a lower ener gy field into a higher.
In Easte rn spiritual disciplines, it is accepted that the devotee alone,
unaided by a g uru or a teac her, is unlikely to make muc h progress.
Guidance is required. The AA experience is that an addict or alcoholic is
unable t o recover without the help of a sponsor. In sports, great coaches are
sought-after because their influence inspires maximum ef fort. Devotees can
aid their own p rogress by merely focusing on an advanced teacher and
thereby aligning  with that teacher ’ s ener gy field; in our testing, it was
shown repeatedly that holding in mind the image of an advanced spiritual
teacher made every subject go strong, irrespective of their personal beliefs.
THE SPIRITUAL DIRECTION
It is  helpful to  remember that neither T ruth nor Enlightenment is
something to be found, sought, acquired, gained, or possessed. That which
is th e In finite Pr esence is always present, and its realization occurs of itself
when th e obstacles to that rea lization are removed. It is therefore not
necessary to study the truth, but only to let go of that which is fallacious.
When the clouds are removed,  the sun shines forth. Moving away the
clouds d oes not  cause the sun to shine but merely reveals that which was
hidden a ll along. Spiritual work, therefore, is primarily a lettin g go of the
presumably known in favor of the unknown, with the promise of others who
have done it that the ef fort is more than well rewarded at the end. On theearthly l evel, go ld is not created  but merely revealed by ch
