As you can see from the lists above there are high amounts of chemical
toxins, mostly man-made, that have been introduced into our air, water and
food supplies. Remember, for every cause there is an effect. All toxins are
irritating, damaging and inflammatory (causing an immune response) to some
degree or another.
TOXIC PESTICIDES
The U.S. Agriculture Department and independent research companies and
organizations have reported that there are high amounts of pesticides and
other pollutants on and in our foods. Tomatoes, strawberries, peaches,
spinach, turnips, squash and many other foods can have as much as 80 to 100
different pollutants, especially pesticides, on or in them. Peanuts have over
180 pollutants, and raisins can have over 110.
As you read the potential and known side effects of pesticides, ask
yourself if you’re really in favor of Bio-Tech Engineering—whereby
pesticides are genetically placed into the seeds of our foods. This means, of
course, that pesticide residues will be in the foods themselves, and that we
will have no way to remove them. Pesticides are like sulfur drugs, they have a
cumulative effect. Once reaching toxic and deadly proportions they cause
allergy reactions, inflammation, excessive immune responses and
neurological failure.
TOXIC CHEMICALS

In the Fulness  of My  Love,  I enfold  you  all and  every
student  under  Beloved  Saint  Germain  in America  and  the
World.  May  all Blessed  Students,  who  thru  falsehood  and
gossip  to which  some  people  have  listened  and  turned  aside
from  This  Great  Stream  of Life;  again  enter  It and  undo
any mistakes  which  they  have  made.  Then,  again  have  the
Glory  which  This  Light  and  Understanding  brings  them.
With  Infinite  Love,  I enfold  you  always  and  hold  you
within  My  Radiance,  until  your  Victory  is achieved!  I
thank  you. DISCOURSE  VIII
DETROIT,  MICHIGAN  ]une  j,  193J.
Thy Eternal  Victory  has arrived,  Oh Children  of Earth!
Into Its Infinite  Presence,  the "Mighty  I AM,"  you  have
entered!  As you  previously  have  given  your  Life,  thru  your
attention,  to the appearances  of the outer  world;  so now
shall  you  give  your  Life  back  to your  Presence,  for the Per-
fection  which  you  will  receive  from  It. The  Law  of Life  is
so simple;  and  yet so wholly  forgotten  by mankind,  until
Our Beloved  Saint  Germain  brought  It forth,  to the atten-
tion of all again  in Its Simplicity,  yet in Its Majestic  Action.
I congratulate  you,  Oh Beloved  Students  of Detroit  and
elsewhere,  that  you  have  been  so privileged  as to be inter-
ested  and  feel the Great  Reality  which  It is. It has been  My
Privilege  to render  you  a Service,  which  will  last  thruout
the centuries.  Will  you  kindly  accept  It, so the Fulness  of Its
Ever-increasing,  Expanding  Activity  may  take  place  within
you and  your  world ?
Your  world  should  be very  important  to you,  very  essen-
tial; for it must  become  a World  of Light  or of darkness.
You are the decreer,  which  It shall  become.  With  the Out-
pouring  of Love  and  Harmony,  will  come  the flood  of Eter-
nal Light  from  your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  which  will
lift you  into  your  Eternal  Freedom.  Your  attention  upon
the chaos  of the outer  world  of mankind,  will  allow  the
72 DISCOURSE  VIII  73
darkness  to surely  fill your  world.  Choose!  Oh  Beloved
Ones,  which  you  shall  serve!
I wish  to say for your  Protection  in the future,  the un-
fortunate  individuals,  who  put forth  the report,  that  since
those  three  books  were  in print—"Unveiled  Mysteries,"
"The  Magic  Presence"  and  the " 'I AM'  Discourses,"  Saint
Germain  is no longer  directing  This  Activity—are  most
unfortunate!  Do not  accept  such  unhappy  falsehoods!  In
This  Activity,  Its Powers  are increasing  from  the  begin-
ning,  as all honest  sincere  students  know.
I prompt  you,  because  you  will  have  to meet  this,  when
the Messengers  have  gone  on to other  fields.  Be sure  you
are strong  enough  to stand  against  such  a false  assertion!  I
tell you  any  such  report  is false!  You  must  choose  again!
It seems  incredible  human  beings  could  be so unfortunate,
as to think  they  could  accept  a part  of a thing  and  not the
whole  of It. I PROMPT  YOU  TO BE ON  GUARD!  AND
STAY  ON  GUARD!
Tonight,  it is My Great  Joy and  Privilege  to inform  you,
that for your  city of Detroit,  there  is being  rendered  a Simi-
lar Service  as in New  York.  I have  called  the Angels  of
the Sword  of Blue  Flame,  to sweep  thru  your  city  every
eight  hours—to  not only  cleanse  and  purify  the atmosphere,
generated  by human  Beings'  unfortunate  feeling;  but  to
seize  and  bind  all entities  who  are fostering  inharmony  in
any way  among  mankind.  You,  as New  York,  will  feel
a change  in the atmosphere.  May  you  rejoice  with  Us in
This  Service  which  it is Our  Joy to render! 74 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES
Little  does  mankind  yet understand,  even  in two  and  a
half years,  of what  Mighty  Invisible  Power  and  Activity  is
suddenly  being  used  for Blessing  and  Benefit.  Yet  all of
your  Powers  of any  great  consequence  which  you  use in
your  outer  world,  are from  the  Invisible.  Why  not  AC-
CEPT  FULLY  within  your  feeling  world,  the Great  As-
cended  Masters,  the  Great  Cosmic  Beings,  Who  are  far
more  Real  than  you,  and  are  operating  with  Limitless
Power ?
Then  you  will  say to Me:  "Why  do They  allow  mankind
to get in this  condition" ? My Dear  Ones,  the Great  Ones
have  nothing  to do about  it. You  are responsible  for the con-
dition  you  are in. The  Great  Host  of Ascended  Masters  have
nothing  to do with  it, nor have  the Cosmic  Beings;  but you,
in the fact  that  you  had  forgotten  your  own  God  Presence,
the "Mighty  I AM,"  have  grown  into  more  and  more  dense
vibratory  action;  which  makes  you  less  responsive,  your
brain,  less  responsive  to the Higher  Vibrations  which  the
Ascended  Masters  give  forth!  Therefore,  you,  mankind
everywhere  is responsible  for the limitations  of Earth.  God
has nothing  to do with  it! The  Angelic  Hosts  have  nothing
to do with  it! Neither  do the Ascended  Masters,  the Legions
of Light  or the Cosmic  Beings!
Today,  mankind  is learning  the Responsibility  is on the
Individual  and  in the Great  Mercy  of the Great  Cosmic
Light,  there  has come  to you  the Solution,  the Power,  the
Intelligence  and  the Knowledge;  by which  you  can call  It
into action  to dissolve  the accumulation  utterly;  and  free DISCOURSE  VIII  75
yourselves  from  your  own  creations.  The  whole  mass  of
mankind,  can  be set Free  thru  your  Call  and  the Mighty
Decrees  given;  calling  the Great  Powers  of the "Mighty  I
AM Presence"  into  action,  in the mental  and  feeling  world
of mankind.  It is the Power  of the Universe—make  no mis-
take about  It!
I repeat  to you  tonight,  when  you  call  your  "Mighty  I
AM Presence"  into  action,  It knows  no resistance  nor inter-
ference.  Its Powers  sweep  forward  with  the Power  of the
Universe  to fulfill  your  Requirements.  If the human  under-
stands  and  will  keep  the feeling  harmonized  long  enough,
so the Power  flows  thru  uninterrupted,  unqualified  by the
feeling  within  the human  self;  then  shall  you  quickly  enter
into That  Freedom  and  Glory  of the  Light  which  beats
your  Heart.  It will  fill your  world  quickly


, then ¼ tsp once a day. Progesterone is best applied to
the wrist area and lower forearm. However, men who greatlyover-produce insulin may require dosages three times a day.
I have only had one complaint from a male patient whom
I placed on progesterone. He said it made him too compas-sionate. Wives, are you listening?
In all fairness, I should mention that Jim B. had ADHD.109 ANDR OPAUSE—THE MALE MENOPAUSE  As I describe in chapter 15, the chapter on ADD and ADHD,
these patients have high levels of adrenaline to combat theirpersistent hypoglycemia induced by high insulin levels.Adrenaline is the “anger hormone.” Giving Jim progesteronelowered his insulin levels, so he no longer had hypoglycemia,and he stopped pouring out adrenaline (i.e., he became“compassionate”).
Progesterone also eliminates restless leg syndrome (RLS),
another condition caused by too much adrenaline, althoughthis is not recognized by the medical community. Doctorsclaim there is no known cause for this condition and that it isincurable. They treat it with toxic anti-Parkinsonian drugs,once again treating the symptoms instead of the cause.However, using progesterone often eliminates RLS in aboutone week.
Adults with ADHD, RLS, fibromyalgia—all conditions
associated with too much adrenaline—usually require proges-terone three times a day and must cut back on their carbohy-drate intake to reduce sugar and insulin levels.
WHAT ABOUT DHEA?
The primary concern related to DHEA is that it can raise the
level of estradiol, the hormone associated with prostate cancerand possibly colon cancer. However, when DHEA is given incorrect dosages this rarely happens. The intent of hormonereplacement therapy is simply to replace what’s missing, not toadd more than is necessary. The number of receptor sitesavailable for each hormone is limited, so extremely high dosescan cause problems.
The correct lab test for assessing blood levels of DHEA is
the test for DHEA-S (not plain DHEA). Most men in their50s have levels around 175 or less. My goal in replacing110 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  DHEA is to achieve the levels that were present around the age
of 40. This means a DHEA-S level of around 400–500. Formen with levels of less than 100, I give a dosage of 50 mg aday. For levels higher than 100, I start with a 25 mg dosage.DHEA is best taken in the evening.
THOUGHTS ABOUT PROSTATE CANCER
Allowed a long-enough life span, most men will develop
prostate cancer. Statistically, however, only 7 percent of prostatecancers will metastasize. In essence, this means that if a prostatecancer is left alone, most men would die with it and notfrom it.
Based on this information, watchful waiting appears to be
a feasible and logical approach when it comes to prostatecancer. This disease is diagnosed by sticking twelve to eighteenneedles into the prostate, which means some blood capillarieswill be pierced and disturbed. If there are cancer cells present,is it possible, then, that the biopsy procedure itself may causethe cancer to metastasize by allowing cancer cells to get intothe blood?
The traditional thinking in medicine is that testosterone is
the hormone that causes prostate cancer. Yet the men with thehighest levels of testosterone have the lowest incidence ofprostate cancer. And if it were true, why wouldn’t males haveprostate cancer at the age of 17, when the levels of testosteroneare at their highest?
The level of testosterone in men starts dropping when they
are in their 20s, becoming very low by the age of 50. Whilethis is happening, the level of estradiol is rising. Men in their50s and beyond almost always have higher levels of estrogenthan women have. And they are no longer producing proges-terone to protect them from all of this estrogen.111 ANDR OPAUSE—THE MALE MENOPAUSE  Keep in mind that estrogen is the only known cause of
uterine cancer (other than the drug Tamoxifen). Since theprostate is derived embryologically from the exact tissue thatthe uterus comes from, why wouldn’t estrogen also be causingprostate cancer? Logically, it would appear to be so. Yet, insome cases, estrogen is used to treat prostate cancer.
/Iswashn my view,
prostate cancer is probably a disease to be prevented,
rather than to be treated, by balancing a man’s hormones
and prescribing appropriate supplements.
Right now, testosterone is thought to cause cancer of the
prostate, so most of the attention in treating prostate cancer ison eliminating testosterone. Often the drug Lupron is admin-istered, and many times it appears to be beneficial. However,besides lowering testosterone levels, it also eliminates estradiol.Perhaps this is its main benefit. Interestingly, in Europe testos-terone is now being used to treat prostate cancer.
In my view, prostate cancer is probably a disease to be
prevented, rather than to be treated, by balancing a man’shormones and prescribing appropriate supplements. Here is alist of some of the supplements known to prevent and/or treatprostate cancer:
• Vitamin D3 – 5,000 I.U./day for prevention,
20,000 I.U./day for treatment
• Vitamin E – 800 I.U./day in the form of
mixed tocopherols
• Lycopene – 30 mg/day• Selenium – 200 mcg/day• Zinc – 25–50 mg/day112 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  • Indole-3-carbinol – 300 mg/day
• Beta-sitosterol – 300 mg/day
Note that Vitamin D3 is known to prevent 26 different cancers;
it also kills cancer cells. It is more likely a prohormone, asubstance that converts into a hormone, rather than a vitamin.Dosages of up to 50,000 I.U./day are probably safe.
For men whose lab tests show an elevated PSA (prostate
specific antigen) it is imperative to check the free PSA level aswell. A PSA level greater than 2.5 is now considered elevated(not 4.0, as previously thought). The free PSA test is animportant determinant of the possibility of cancer. However,keep in mind that the most common cause of an elevated PSAlevel is benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). Another frequentcause is prostatitis (infectious or inflammatory).
A free PSA percentage greater than 20 percent suggests the
absence of cancer; a level less than 10 percent suggests itspresence. Levels from 11 to 20 percent are in the gray area.
When my patients show any elevation of PSA, I start them
on progesterone, prescribe the supplements just listed, andcontinue to track their PSA and free-PSA levels. This approachis my own. Please discuss any prostate concerns you have withyour own physician.113 ANDR OPAUSE—THE MALE MENOPAUSE  ADULT-ONSET DIABETES
AND LOUIS R.
chapter THIRTEEN
Louis R. is a successful and contented 60-year-old who has
struggled with weight all his life. When I took his family history,it became clear that his weight problem was genetic. Everyone inhis family—mother, father, aunts, uncles, grandparents—was “heavyset.”
When we talked about his goals, Louis emphasized that he
was bound and determined not to “let himself go” at age 60,the way many of his family members had done.
When his treatment is completed, Louis can be assured
he’ll be able to control his weight without dieting. He’ll also beable to manage his adult-onset diabetes without the use ofmedication. Here is his story:
I am a type II diabetic. My diabetes started in middle age, but
even before that I’d always experienced problems with my weight.At six different times in my life I’ve been 40 pounds over-weight,and I’ve dieted to lose those 40 pounds. Each time I was successfulin losing the weight, but over time those same 40 poundsreappeared. I have done Weight Watchers, I used Diet Center twice,and I’ve gone the Nutra System route and others. Each of these dietswas effective. The pounds just flew off but psychologically I was
115about four feet off of the ground at all times. Either that or I was
unbearably fatigued. My whole family is predisposed to beingheavy. My father was a little shorter than me and at one timeweighed about 240 pounds. My paternal grandmother was aboutsix feet tall and a very big woman who weighed about 230pounds. When my late sister was diagnosed with colon cancer, sheweighed 290 pounds. My maternal grandfather was large, as wasmy maternal grandmother.
So I’m from sturdy big stock and I’m never going to be one of
those men who weigh 165 pounds. I know that. Once I dieted myway down to 168 pounds but I looked horrible. People wereasking me what disease I had, I was so gaunt. T oday my goal ismore realistic. I want to reach 185 pounds and stay there for therest of my life. My other goal is to control my diabetes with dietand exercise.
When my mother turned 60, she told me she just wanted to
be a fat old lady. She just let everything go. When she died


 the first requirement is to
become aware of when you are not being true. Courtship provides an
opportunity for creating this awareness, since this is when a couple work
out their own definition of what being in love means. Many things pass for
love that are something else. These forms of false love can be behaviors,
beliefs, expectations, or conditi oning from the past. We all tend to accept
versions of “love” that we are used to, without stopping to examine their
validity. Much unloving behavior gets past us in this way.Perhaps no sentence in the English language contains as many hidden
meanings as “I love you.” Very often we say these words and silently add
expectations that underline them. What we really are saying may be
I love you as long as you stay the way you are now.
I love you if you love me.
I love you if you don’ t scare me too much.
I love you as long as you do what I want.
Because these sentences all carry expectations, they are not really about
love. “I love you” is often not a simple declaration but with unspoken
conditions—“I love you if.” People who make conditional promises are not
wrong, they are usually doing the best they can. No doubt someone in their
past said, “I love you,” when what they really meant was “I love you if.” To
a greate r or lesser degree we all place expectations upon the people we
love. But these expectations, however reasonable they may seem to us,
inject an element of falseness that true love doesn’ t contain.
False love can also take the form of lack of realism. Some one who
expects to be swept away by a mysterious stranger and rescued from all
problems is indulging in unreality. Unreality has many disguises, of which
fantasy and projection are the two most prevalent. Fantasy creates a false
image that love is expected to live up to. We fantasize about an ideal lover,
and anyone who does not match this ideal becomes unfit for our love. Being
too old or too young, too tall or too short, too dull, too poor, too
unprofessional—too anything that does not pass the test—this is how other
people come to be seen as lacking potential for love. The root of this
unreality clearly lies in the perceiver, however, not the perceived. The
fantasy that supposedly pictures our ideal in fact puts on blinders.
Projection disto rts our perception in a different way: it attaches our
beliefs to other people. Someon e who believes that no one will ever love
him is projecting  his own lack of acceptance onto others. The internal belief
“I’m not lovable” is so painful that it cannot be faced, and one way to
lessen that pain is to stop claiming it as your own. Instead you decide that
other people are at fault. They  have let you down, they don’t think you are
good enough, they have no wish to love you. In reality there is no they, only
projection.False love can take more forms than active fantasy or projection. It may
simply be expressed as something missing in one’s experience. If you have
not been shown loving behavior, you will have no positive images to fill the
heart. The cruelest impression that can be made on a young child is
indifference, and it may be the most common. To ignore a child’s need for
love conveys to the heart that its need is not essential. Upon growing up
such a child will find it very difficult to express real love. In place of a
warm outflow of feeling, he or she will feel a cooler, more  moderated
emotion that too easily flickers and fails. Indif ference has a long legacy.
All these versions of false love are extremely common. We exhibit false
love whenever we pretend to love someone beyond what we actually feel,
whenever we fail to trust or be honest, whenever we push away someone
else’s offered emotions. Like the thousand-headed serpent, false love has
too many heads  to name. Defea ting it requires that we discove r what true
love is. It takes the real to drive out the unreal. Recognizing a fantasy or
projection puts distance between  you and it; once you have obtained some
distance, you can begin to renounce the power of the false.
If in the past you haven’ t experienced love’ s purity and unde rstood its
innocence, then the foundation of relationship hasn’ t been laid. Longfellow
spoke truly when he said, “Love gives itself; it isn’t bought.” If a man or
woman feels there is a price to pay for being loved, their whole sense of
love is damage d. It has beco me confused with a transaction between
winners and losers in a game of competing needs.
Our society makes the problem worse by claiming that selfishness is
justified, for the easiest disguis e for fear and doubt is selfishness. What
good do “higher” values really bring the “me” who has a hard enough time
surviving as it is? A cynic might say, “When people fall in love, they
indulge in an escapist fantasy. There is a much more powerful force than
love, called desire. Desire comes down to the pursuit of sex, money, power,
security, and comfort. These are what people really want.”
On the surface the cynic appear s to be absolutely right. Life doesn’ t lie,
which means that although all of us may espouse love, we don’t live it.
Selfishness has too strong a claim. Too often courtship serves to lay the
groundwork for mutual selfishn ess. A man and woman bypass the pain of
exposing their deepest fears and insecurity. Instead of pursuing the delicatework of weaving  the threads of love into a fabric that will be strong enough
to hold, they concentrate on what the relationship will do for “me.”
The courtship phase succeeds to the extent that a man and woman can dismantle their defenses; it
fails to the extent that they build new defenses together.
How many couples bond together by forming a “we” that is just a
stronger, tougher version of “me”? We can’t be surprised when this
happens. If survival is paramount in a dangerous world, two are better at it
than one. Like an individual, a couple can pursue power and money, or at
the very least security and comfort. Love gets left behind because it won’ t
bring material rewards, at least not as clearly as unloving tactics will.
Money and power require toughness, the willingness to fight for what you
want. You are better off having  a killer instinct, not a loving heart, if you
pursue these things. Security and comfort also require looking out for
number one. In this case one has become two; nothing else has changed.
Undoubtedly mutual ego needs  have a place in every relationship. The
real problem occurs when they obliterate the tender growth of love in its
spiritual aspect. Long before we fall in love, we know more than enough
about our needs. Acquiring an ally to fulfill them isn’t the same as getting
free from  them.  Only love can free us, because its truth is an antidote to
fear. The cynical claim that what people really want is money, power, and
security falls apart once we look deeper. The exhilaration of falling in love
is an escape from ego, its sense of threat, and its selfishness. This escape is
what we really  want. Whatever rewards it brings, the ego cannot do two
things: it cannot abolish fear, since ego is founded on fear; and it cannot
create love, since ego by definition shuts out love.
The reason that ego and love are not compatible comes down to this: you
cannot take your ego into the unknown, where love wants to lead. If you
follow love, your life will become uncertain, and the ego craves certainty.
You will have to surrender to another person, and the ego prizes its own will
above anyone else’s. Love will make your feelings ambiguous, and the ego
wants to feel the certainty of right and wrong. Many other experiences that
cannot be comprehended by ego apply to love—a lover is confused,
spontaneous, vulnerable, expose d, detached, carefree, wondrous, and ever
new.Love’ s journey would be terrifying if we didn’ t have passion to give us
courage—the blind courage of lovers, it is often called. It would be truer to
call it the blind wisdom of lovers, because the ego’s certainty is an illusion.
Uncertainty is the basis of life.
OceanofPDF.comLOVING  PRACTICE
Unpeeling the Layers of Love
ONE OF THE most valuable things you can learn about yourself is what you
mean by the words “I love you.” The meaning you impart is complex
because it contains you. Your past associations with love, your childhood
imprints, your unspoken expectations and beliefs are all packaged in
language. Thus “I love you” expands into
“I love you the way my father loved my mother before they got divorced.”
“I love you as long as you don’ t get too close.”
“I love you more than Romeo loved Juliet, but please don’ t ask me to die.”
“I love you the way the high school football captain didn’ t love me.”
Words become more personal the more emotional they are. Since “I love
you” is the most emotional phrase in our language, it includes many
feelings that you might never


 However, this man’s  sister told
him that their father had confided to her that a will had been e xecuted
which was fair to all. Every attempt to locate the will failed.
Prior to sleep he talked to his deeper mind as follows: “I now turn
this request over the subconscious mind. It knows just where tha t will
is, and reveals it to me.” Then he condensed his request down to one
word, “Answer,” repeating it over and over again as a lulla by. He
lulled himself to sleep with the word, “Answer.”
The next morning this young man had an overpowering hunch to go
to a certain bank in Los Angeles where he found a safe deposit  vault
registered in the name of his father, the contents of which so lved all
his problems.
Your thought, as you go to sleep, arouses the powerful latency,
which is within you. For example, let us suppose you are wondering
whether to sell your home, buy a certain stock, sever partnersh ip,
move to New York or stay in Los Angeles, dissolve the pres ent
contract or take a new one. Do this: Sit quietly in your armcha ir or at
the desk in your office. Remem-ber that there is a universal  law of
action and reaction. The action is your thought. The reaction is the
response from your subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is
reactive and reflexive; this is its nature. It rebounds, re wards, and
repays. It is the law of correspondence. It responds by corre sponding.
As you contemplate right action, you will automatically experi- ence a
reaction or response in yourself, which represents the guidance o r
answer of your subconscious mind.
In seeking guidance, you simply think quietly about right action,
which means that you are using the infinite intelligence resi dent in the
subconscious mind to the point where it begins to use you. From t here
on, your course of action is directed and controlled by the subject ive
wisdom within you, which is all wise and omnipotent. Your decision
will be right.
 135  There will only be right action because you are under a subje ctive
compulsion to do the right thing. I use the word compulsion because
the law of the subconscious is compulsion.
• The secret of guidance
The secret of guidance or right action is to mentally devote yourself
to the right answer, until you find its response in you. The respons e is
a feeling, an inner awareness, and an overpowering hunch wher eby
you know that you know. You have used the power to the point where
it begins to use you. You cannot possibly fail or make one fals e step
while operating under the subjective wisdom within you. You will
find that all your ways are pleasantness and all your paths are peace.
• Highlights to recall
1. Remember that the subconscious mind has determined the
success and wonderful achievements of all great scientific workers.
2. By giving your conscious attention and devotion to the solu-tion
of a perplexing problem, your subconscious mind gathers all th e
necessary information and presents it full-blown to the conscious
mind.
3. If you are wondering about the answer to a problem, try to solv e
it objectively. Get all the information you can from resear ch and also
from others. If no answer comes, turn it over to your subconscious
mind prior to sleep, and the an-swer always comes. It never fails.
4. You do not always get the answer overnight. Keep on turn-ing
your request over to your subconscious until the daybreaks and the
shadows flee away.
5. You delay the answer by thinking it will take a long time or that it
is a major problem. Your subconscious has no prob-lem it knows  only
the answer.
6. Believe that you have the answer now. Feel the joy of the a nswer
and the way you would feel if you had the perfect answer. Your
subconscious will respond to your feeling.
 136  7. Any mental picture, backed by faith and perseverance, will com e
to pass through the miracle-working power of your subconscious.
Trust it, believe in its power, and wonders will happen as you pray.
8. Your subconscious is the storehouse of memory, and within your
subconscious are recorded all your experiences since childhood.
9. Scientists meditating on ancient scrolls, temples, fossils,  etc., are
able to reconstruct scenes of the past and make them alive today.
Their subconscious mind comes to their aid.
10. Turn over your request for a solution to your subconscious prior
to sleep. Trust it and believe in it, and the answer will come. It knows
all and sees all, but you must not doubt or question its powers.
11. The action is your thought, and the reaction is the response of
your subconscious mind. If your thoughts are wise, your actions and
decisions will be wise.
12. Guidance comes as a feeling, an inner awareness, an over-
powering hunch whereby you know that you know. It is an inner sense
of touch. Follow it.

Your Subconscious and the Wonders of
Sleep
You spend about eight out of every twenty-four hours, or one-third
of your entire life, in sleep. This is an inexorable law of li fe. This also
applies to the animal and vegetable kingdoms. Sleep is a divi ne law,
and many answers to our problems come to us when we are sound
asleep upon the bed.
Many people have advocated the theory that you get tired during t he
day, that you go to sleep to rest the body, and that a reparati ve process
takes place while you sleep. Nothing rests in sleep. Your hea rt, lungs,
and all your vital organs func-tion while you are asleep. If you e at
prior to sleep, the food is digested and assimilated; also, your skin
secretes perspiration, and your nails and hair continue to grow.
Your subconscious mind never rests or sleeps. It is always active,
controlling all your vital forces. The healing process take s place more
rapidly while you are asleep as there is no inter-ference fr om your
conscious mind. Remarkable answers are given to you while you are
asleep.
• Why we sleep
Dr. John Bigelow, a famous research authority on sleep,*
demonstrated that at night while asleep you receive impressi ons
showing that the nerves of the eyes, ears, nose, and taste buds  are
active during sleep, and also that the nerves of your brain are quite
active. He says that the main reason we sleep is be-
* Dr. John Bigelow, The Mystery of Sleep (New York and London:
Harper Brothers, 1903). cause “the nobler part of the soul is un ited by
abstraction to our higher nature and becomes a participant i n the
wisdom and foreknowledge of the gods.”
 138  Dr. Bigelow states also, “The results of my studies have not  only
strengthened my convictions that the supposed exemp-tion from
customary toils and activities was not the final pur-pose of sleep, but
have also made clearer to my mind the conviction that no part o f a
man’s life deserves to be considered more indispensable to  its
symmetrical and perfect spiritual development than the while  he is
separated from the phenomenal world in sleep.”
• Prayer, a form of sleep
Your conscious mind gets involved with vexations, strife, and
contentions of the day, and it is very necessary to withdraw
periodically from sense evidence and the objective world, and
commune silently with the inner wisdom of your subconscious mind.
By claiming guidance, strength, and greater intelligence in al l phases
of your life, you will be enabled to overcome all difficulti es and solve
your daily problems.
This regular withdrawal from sense evidence and the noise and
confusion of everyday living is also a form of sleep, i.e., you be come
asleep to the world of the senses and alive to the wisdom and power of
your subconscious mind.
• Startling effects of sleep deprivation
Lack of sleep can cause you to become irritable, moody, and
depressed.
Dr. George Stevenson of the National Associa-tion for Mental
Health says, “I believe it can safely be said that all hu man beings need
a minimum of six hours’ sleep to be healthy. Most people need more.
Those who think they can get along on less are fooling themselves.”
Medical research scholars, investigating sleep processes an d
deprivation of sleep, point out that severe insomnia has prec eded
psychotic breakdown in some instances. Remember, you are
spiritually recharged during sleep, and adequate sleep is essential to
produce joy and vitality in life.

 139  • You need more sleep
Robert O’Brien, in an article, “Maybe You Need More Sleep,” i n an
issue of The Reader¶s Digest, reports the following experiment on
sleep: “For the last three years experiments have bee n in progress at
Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Washington, D.C.
Subjects—more than one hundred military and civilian volun-t eers—
have been kept awake for as long as four days. Thousands of te sts
have measured the effects on their behavior and per


 from the standpoint of iridology. the first thing we have found is always a black area in that portio n of the
ins corresponding to the bowel. The condition of the transverse colon (which comes across the top of the bowel) is indicated by
signs near the top of the iris at from 10 o’clock to about 12 o’clock, within what is called the autonomic nerve wreath. We s tart
down the descending colon, represented in the i ris from 12 to 5 o’clock, then the sigmoid colon from 5 to 7 o’clock, until we come
to the rectal area about 7 o’clock. This is only one side of the body. I don’t want to give a lesson in iridology but I would  like to
take you on a little learning trip bec ause the ins has much to teach us about the condition of the bowel. In the iris of the eye,
various conditions show up as black areas, which I call “bowel pockets,” where the autonomic wreath makes a definite break. I
have found that the black area represe nts underactivity, an inherent weakness and a toxic material settlement. Over the years, I
went after these three things in my work with patients. I found that an inherent weakness in the bowel quickly leads to probl ems in
bowel function unless the body ha s all the power and energy it needs to work with. When the body is tired, an inherent weakness
in the bowel leads to hypoactivity. So, I had to take care of the energies of my patients. I had to take care of enervation. I had to get
rid of tiredness. I had  to help patients get rid of what I call “vitality wasters.” Every sick person is fatigued and rundown. They are
burned out. They want to lie down. Some of them don’t even have the energy to walk. All they want to do is to go bed. They do n’t
have enough en ergy or spirit to really do things, and I found that while taking care of these people, having them rest and change
their diets, I began to see certain healing signs come into those black areas in the irides. These correlations between bowel
condition and the appearance of the iris were confirmed repeatedly over the years.

There is much cynicism among medical doctors over the value of iridology, but I believe this will change. It takes three mont hs to
demonstrate healing signs in the eye and the average  medical doctor seems to be unwilling to take the time for this kind of
systematic follow -up. I can prove what I have presented here, but it does take three months. The average doctor wants to see it
right now; he makes one test and that’s it. If it isn’t there in a week, it doesn’t exist. Iridology deals with tissue changes. When we
examine the iris, we are “reading” tissue condition. We do not directly read toxic material settlements in the bowel. When we
examine the iris, we are reading the bowel wall. W hen the healing signs appear, they are called calcium luteum lines. Improvement
in the bowel wall takes care of toxic materials in the body; it moves them along a little quicker. We may quicken elimination  of the
acids by using foods containing potassium a nd sodium. We find that magnesium relaxes the bowel for those who have tension.
Of course, we often resort to using milk of magnesia for this, but we can also use the magnesium which is found in our foods,  of
which yellow cornmeal contains the most. Magnes ium is also found in all vegetables.

Using the proper foods to bring about physical changes is slower than drug therapy; it is the natural way. We find no “undesi rable
side effects” here. When I first began seeing these changes come about in the irides of my patients’ eyes, I actually didn’t know I
was doing anything unusual. I was simply putting my patients on a right -living regime. But I then started to have X -rays taken,
because I wanted to confirm what I suspected was going on. I spent time at the Ba ttle Creek Sanitarium and began to see how the
X-rays verified what I was finding through iridology. When my iris reading indicated a bowel pocket at 3 o’clock, I found on th e
X-ray that there was a diverticulum in the bowel. I found there was a ballooned condition where the toxic materials were not being
eliminated as they should. At that time, I studied with Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, who was a master of taking care of the bowel. He
wrote on colon hygiene and also did a great deal of work with diet. One thi ng I learned was that we have “friendly” bacteria in the
bowel. These friendly bacteria keep the bowel clean from putrefaction and fermentation which produce excess gas and bad odors.
Dr. Kellogg taught that the bowel should be about 85% acidophilus bacter ia and 15% bacillus coli, or those which produce gas.
This, he stated was the right bacterial balance for a healthy bowel. I wanted to test my patients for this bacteria balance, so I sent
fecal samples from 500 of my patients to a medical laboratory to fi nd out about the relative amounts of acidophilus, bacillus
coli and acid -fast bacteria. I wanted to know the effect of the pH (acidity/alkalinity value) and to find out all I could about the
intestinal flora. The lab results averaged 85% bacillus coli, or detrimental bacteria, as compared to 15% of the acidophilus. It was
just the opposite of what it should be to be healthy! These were the results for 500 of the patients who had come to my offic e.

Obviously, the bowel of the average patient was not what i s should be. I have taken care of bowel problems through colonics. I
have recommended colonics frequently to my patients, but you see, this alone doesn’t bring healing lines into the eyes, becau se
healing signs come when there is a new chemical balance in the tissue. I deal in tissue, and when I see various bowel conditions
indicated from the eyes, I can’t tell you that the problem is always diverticula. It could be diverticula and I would say 9 t imes out
of 10 it is, because X -rays I have examined have dem onstrated it as such.

It is so important to mention that through iridology I have found reflex conditions from problems in the bowel. There is a de finite
relation between certain organ conditions and the bowel conditions as indicated in the eye. For ins tance, I examined a lady who
had torticollis (a wry neck) and when I told her I would have to adjust her neck, she refused because she’d had several adjus tments
to her neck and it only seemed to become worse each time. She just couldn’t stand to have anybo dy touch it again. Well, I’m a
chiropractor and I’m supposed to do adjustments. I was just starting in iridology but I had to do something, so I checked her  eyes
and found a black pocket. When I asked if she had ever had bowel trouble, she said she’d had i t for years ever since her neck
trouble began. Lately, the bowel problem had become worse. I prescribed an enema right away. She had three enemas and in one
hour’s time while I was still there, she obtained complete relief from the stiff neck problem. I wa lked out of there and I hadn’t
touched her neck. I only took care of the bowel. This was quite an experience and I will never forget it.

Another patient came to see me some months later who had a large abscess on his neck, and in looking into the iris of his eye, I
saw a large black hole with the most beautiful healing signs coming into it. I know you cannot have healing signs unless ther e is a
change in diet. It is very necessary to talk about food. He said he had been driving behind a citrus truck which overturned and
spilled oranges all over the road. When he stopped to help, the truck driver told him to pick up as many as he wanted, so he filled
the trunk of his car and drank orange juice for 45 days. This certainly was an extreme elimination diet, but he couldn’t get rid of
the accumulated toxic material in his body fast enough through normal elimination because he wasn’t doing enough in taking
care of the bowel. The overload of toxic material being eliminated produced the abscess on his neck.

INHERENT  WEAKNESSES
Inherent weaknesses are areas of the body where toxic materials finally accumulate. It is in these organs that infection deve lops.
We can have an infection in the lung, we can have abscessed teeth, we can have these problems in various parts of  the body, and
invariably, these infections come originally from the bowel. I have found a striking correlation in my iridology studies over  the last
45 years, confirming that there is a definite relationship between conditions in sections of the bowel and  conditions in other
specific parts of the body. When a patient complains of a breast condition, there is a certain place in the bowel that I susp ect
harbors a low -grade infection which is affecting the breast area; or, other areas of the body nay have pro blems that can be


alleged dealing in hash while on vacation in Northern Europe. In order to get released from the isolation cell and into the hospital, where a friend of mine was hospitalized, I decided to see what would happen if I drank my own urine. If it made me sick, my experiment would be a success; if not, I would have to try something else in order to be taken to the hospital. The first morning, I immediately spit out the first sip of urine before it even touched my tongue, and threw away the rest of the urine. Disgusting, I thought, I'll never do that again. The next morning, motivated by my desire to get to the hospital as quickly as possible, I tried drinking my own urine for a second time, once again with the same unpleasant result; mental blocks can sometimes be obstinate barriers. The third day, I finally succeeded in swallowing a full sip of urine. I sat quietly in order to analyse what might happen. The taste was not as bad as I had expected -a lightly salty aftertaste which disappeared rather quickly. Incidentally, I have drunk more disgusting tasting liquids prescribed by the doctor in order to improve my health.       Approximately five minutes later, I quite urgently had to defecate. No sooner had I sat on the toilet than I defecated quickly and easily, which was remarkable since I had been suffering from constipation from the unhealthy prison food. Five minutes later I defecated again, and finally felt relieved. Since that morning, I have repeated this ritual every day and have not suffered from constipation. Remarkably enough, a dozen small warts which I had had my whole life on my hands also disappeared after eight days, as if they had suddenly fallen off. A few pustules arose here and there, one of which burst open after a ripening process of approximately eight days, releasing one and a half teaspoons of pus. Obviously, a cleansing process had started in my body. After a number of weeks in which I ritually drank my morning urine, I noticed that changes were slowly beginning to take place in my body. Now, after using urine for fourteen years, I can confirm that I am 99% less susceptible to all kinds of epidemics, flus, infections and other miseries to which I used to be very susceptible. You do not have to be sick in order to start urine therapy. In 57 theory, urine therapy increases your resistance to illness, and sometimes small irregularities come to the surface and can be dealt with. I hope this story sheds more light on the positive effects of urine therapy and wish every researcher success with his or her research and findings with this 'ultimate survival' method."

Wrong living in childhood had made him a victim of one illness or the other. Western medicine gave some temporary relief occasionally. Once a three-year bout with cough rendered him lighter by several hundred rupees. His wife had regained health owing to auto-urine therapy and so Manikchand, so agreed to try it and came down to Momasar. His condition was miserable; He suffered from breathlessness, dry cough, constipation, excessive hunger with absence of normal thirst, insomnia, gastric gases and quick fatigue. Treatment began with fasting. Daily two-hour massage was given. During fasting he was prey to several complaints like growing palpitation, eruptions all over the body, dysentery and vomiting, etc, Shri Sanchetiji assured him that all the poisons of the Western medicine are being uprooted. And indeed when the impurities got discharged 59 he was free from all ailment. He broke his fast on the 15th day and after a couple of months he was restored to normal health and vigour.”  from Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  COUGH  "I was a bad patient of severe cold when Acharya Tulsiji opened his training centre. The severity rose to such a level that I was in critical condition. I became pencil thin. Nights brought excruciating aggravation. Ayurveda, homoeopathy, allopathy - all proved futile. At last in 1976 I ventured to adopt auto-urine therapy of Shri Sanchetiji with belief and trust. With three days' auto-urine treatment my cough vanished. I could not pursue the fast owing to extreme weakness. l switched on to light diet of juices and ragi (F1T) water. The result was I had eruptions from head to foot and it was difficult to lie down or even sit. Yet I never lost patience and endurance. And I was amply rewarded when at long last I was free from suffering which in fact influenced other sisters in the ashram. Now in the training centre this effective remedy has been accepted by all for cold and cough. Student sisters have now accepted this and have gained recovery from the ailment several times.”  from Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  COUGH  “Shri Mangulal Shankarlal (UIIasnagar, Kalyan Camp, Room No. 2, Barrack 406). had informed in writing that the could cure his daughter's cough and cold by urine.”  Manav Mootra by R. M.

 happens.
“As a man thinke th in his heart, so is he.” If he thinks day and night, “I hate this place —I
wish I didn’t have to be here anymore,” his wish will come true —even if he never utters a
word about it. Life is like a genie let out of the bottle: It says: Your wish is my comma nd.
Now let’s take your own current situation. Unlike the man in the above little story who
hated his work, what’s going on in your life right now is a change that you did not wish (in
even in your most private thoughts) would happen. This all came down ag ainst your will.
So how does that  work?
Simple. You may not have wished that this change would take place, but at some level
you must have known that it could, and even might. And this was not a small knowing. It
was a big knowing, in your heart.  It is your knowing that creates the strongest energy, not your wishing. In fact, knowing
trumps wishing  every time. That’s because knowing has enormous power behind it.
Wishing is wimpy, flimsy. “Knowing of a certainty” is the kind of faith that moves
moun tains. Someone once said, “What you know is what is so.”
You can wish to win the million -dollar lottery, but if you know  that you don’t stand much
of a chance, then you won’t stand much of a chance. You can wish to get a date with the
most desirable person  in the class, but if you know  that you don’t stand much of a chance,
then you won’t stand much of a chance. You can wish to feel just fine about the huge change
that is happening in your life, but if you know  that you don’t stand much of a chance, then
you won’t stand much of a chance.
Ah, yes... “if only wishing could make it so....”
Well, wishing is a good start. Jiminy Cricket was right about that. But in the end, you
must turn that wish into an awareness that your wish will come true. You must know that it
will.
But what do you tell yourself then  if, after all is said and done, it just doesn’t happen?
You must let yourself remember that you are always creating at three levels of creation: the
subconscious level, the conscious level, and the super -conscious level. It is at the super -
conscious level that you join with all other souls in a collaboration of cosmic proportion
that allows for the perfect conditions to exist, allowing the souls involved to evolve to the
next highest level.
So the reality that you have produced, the change that you are experiencing this minute,
is not something that you created alone. The fact is that you created it in collaboration with
others. All the other “players” in your Game of Life created it with you. You created t he
outcome together. For reasons known very clearly by the lot of you. In a way that serves
the agenda of all of you.
This is just one more way of saying that everything happens for the best.
Now when you know  that everything happens for the best, then everything that happens
is okay with you. The irony of this is that when everything that happens is okay with you, you
set up an energy field of such equanimity and harmony with the universe that the universal
law of attraction draws more equanimity and harmony into your life.
Your soul knows that the process of co -creation never impinges upon the individual will
of anyone. Nothing can happen against your inner will. Not even your death. Especially  not
your death.  (For a thorough and inspiring exploration of this particular insight, see Home
with God in a Life That Never Ends.)
Given Who and What you are (Divinity Individuated), it is impossible for anything to
take place that violates your highest desire. The inte rweavings of life are always in
harmony with each other. You must, therefore, have at some level agreed with all that has
occurred and is occurring. If it happened to you, it happened through  you.
This is why the soul is never unhappy. Why would the soul b e unhappy when it is always
getting what it wants?
Why  it would want  what it is getting is another question. The answer: there is always a
reason tied to the soul’s desire to evolve. Sometimes the soul evolves most rapidly by giving up what the mind wants,  in favor of what someone else may need, or what a
situation may require. The mind might not always be okay with this, but the soul always is.
So do not recriminate against yourself. Do not make yourself wrong or chastise or
castigate yourself for any life  outcomes that you have generated, consciously or
unconsciously, that you would call negative. Rather, have compassion with yourself if you
do not understand the larger reason for these outcomes, then give praise to yourself for
your ability to meet them h ead on, then congratulate the magnificent part of yourself that
finds a way to move through them, and finally, celebrate that aspect of yourself that sees, in
the final analysis, the benefit  that has come to you as a result of them.
You will know that you have changed your idea about life when you come to the last
conclusion first. You will see life and everything in life as an opportunity, not an
obstruction; as good fortune, not misfortune; as a gift, not a gaff. And your attitude about
life itself will recreate  itself in life itself.
After you’ve changed your idea about life and its purpose, you are only one step away
from changing your idea about yourself —from changing your very identity.
Do this, and you will change everything. And that  is something you  may wish to

WALKING HOME
William Shakespeare had it exactly right:
There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your
philosophy.
The final change in our list of nine could very well be the first. If the entire human race
ever made a wholesale shift to this new way of thinking, to this new way of holding the life
experience itself, then every moment in every day in the life of every person in the world
woul d be transformed forever. I now invite you to make this final change. I now invite you
to...
CHANGE #9:
Change your identity
When I was a child —indeed, from the time I was eight or nine until the time I left my
family of origin —my father repeatedly aske d me the same question, usually about once
every other week or so:
Who do you think you are anyway...?
His question was borne of frustration, but if he thought he was frustrated, he should
have lived in my reality! I had no idea who I was or what I was  doing here, nor did I have
any concept at all about what life was, or why it was the way  it was. I couldn’t understand it, I didn’t agree with it, and I wanted no part of it. Yet getting out of it was not an attractive
option.
(Actually, there were times when I actually thought that it might be. I am so happy to say
that I moved through those times without succumbing to the temptation to end the most
magnificent experience a soul could ever have. My process was a little herky -jerky, for sure.
A little bump y, no question. But I made it. Thank you, God!)
I came to the hope that somewhere, somewhere, there was an answer to all of this; a
reason for it all; a way that it all made some sense. I figured that there was just something
that I didn’t understand, the understanding of which would change everything.
After my conversations with God I knew that I would never find what that “something”
was in the Past Data held by the mind. I knew that I would have to somehow connect with a
larger source. I knew that I was going to have to commune on a regular basis with my soul.
This I did in my own way. I’ve already said that there is more than one way to meditate.
The meditation technique I described earlier is one way —and one very good way —to go
about sil encing the mind and connecting with the soul. But it is not the only way, nor is it
necessarily, for everyone, the best way.
There are many people who find it extremely difficult to sit in silent meditation. For
them, it may seem as if the “art of meditati on” is something that is lost to them. I felt this
way for a long time, because I am an impatient person by nature and sitting in silent
meditation was not a thing I tolerated well. Then someone introduced me to Walking
Meditation, and everything changed f or me around the idea of “meditation.” Suddenly, it
was something I could do.
The first thing that happened when I learned about Walking Meditation is that my whole
idea about what meditation is completely vanished, to be replaced by a much more clear
and concise picture of what was going on. For me, meditation always meant “clearing the
mind of everything,” leaving the space for “the emptiness” to appear, so


erry" size. If there seems to be a large number of these objects in the stool,
the flush should be repeated in 2 weeks.
Fasting
After The Liver-Gall Bladder Flush a fast may be started. The fast should last one or
two days. We are now giving the body a rest and an opportunity to cleanse itself of
much waste on the individual cell level. Each day of the fast one quart of fresh carrot
juice and one pint of celery juice should be taken, along with all the distilled or
filtered water desired. It is best to dilute the fresh juice with equal parts of water.
It is important to remember that unless sufficient fluids are taken the poisons
become concentrated and are not eliminated in the natural way.
Cleansing The Small Intestine
If there were only one kind of pill that would help everybody, the cancer patient or
otherwise, it would be "Okra-Pepsin-E3" made by Standard Process, Inc. It would
probably do the nation's health more good than any other one pill. It digests the
mucus that coats the walls of many people's small intestine. Certain foods, such as
pasteurized milk and many cooked foods, cause the mucus buildup on the wall of the
small intestine (raw foods do not cause this mucus buildup). The mucus coats the Villi
on the wall of the small intestine. The Villi are like tiny fingers that stick out from the
intestinal wall to absorb nutrients from the digested food, which is primarily liquid.
The mucus on the Villi blocks the absorption of nutrients from the food. Sometimes
the mucus gets so thick and tough it is almost like a plastic film. Almost no nutrition
can get through to the body. A person with a severe mucus buildup could take
90
Winning The Cancer War
$1,000.00 worth of supplements a month along with a good diet and still get almost
no nutritional value from them. He or she would be starving and therefore would
want to eat more food including protein. That would lead to more of the pancreatic
enzymes being used to digest the protein even though it could not be properly
absorbed. When all the pancreatic enzymes are used up, there are none left in the
blood to destroy cancer cells.
The okra is a very sticky, gooey, vegetable material. It tends to stick the pepsin
enzyme to the mucus on the intestinal wall long enough to digest some of the mucus.
The E-3 is a powerful tissue repair factor. It was originally developed for the patient
with stomach ulcers or colitis.
If the capsules are taken for a few days to several weeks, one after each meal
(reduce the amount of capsules if diarrhea occurs), the mucus w ill gradually be
digested. The blood can then receive more nutrients from the food, even if it is from a
poor diet. Then, once a year, take the Okra-Pepsin-E3 capsules again for a few days
or a week to keep the mucus from building back up.
The mucus blockage varies with different people. Sometimes it blocks minerals and
larger molecules only, while in other people it partially blocks all nutrients.
While taking the Okra-Pepsin-E3 capsules people who have heavily mucus-coated
intestines might find mucus coming out with their stool, convoluted like the
intestines. Dr. Kelley has had people who have been taking the capsules call him to
say that they think they have just passed their intestines and what should they do? (He
assures them it wasn't their intestines; it was ropes — or tubes — of mucus!)
One 37-year-old patient called Dr. Kelley to report that the Okra-Pepsin-E3
capsules worked a miracle by relieving reoccurring pain that she had suffered with for
years. (The pain would come and go apparently without cause and felt like bricks
were pressing against her internal organs and lower back and at the same time her
right side and leg would feel numb.) On the morning of the eighth day, after taking
one Okra-Pepsin-E3 capsule with each meal for a week, she spent 45 minutes
sweating, straining and pushing to have a bowel movement, and when it finally came
out she could hardly believe what she saw — long, intertwined black ropes (or
collapsed tubes) of mucus filled the toilet! She feels lighter now and hasn't had the
pain since that day. (After this bowel movement and the disappearance of her pain
she realized that there must have been a connection to eating a large meal and the
pain — food passing through the intestine would push the mucus-coated intestine
onto nerves, which caused the pain and numbness.)
The Okra-Pepsin-E3 is indicated for both underweight and overweight people. In
both cases nutrients are not being absorbed. Even if they are taking enzymes to digest
91
Winning The Cancer War
the food they eat, they absorb only the smaller carbohydrate molecules while the
larger protein molecules are blocked. In underweight people the carbohydrates are
used efficiently (burned for energy, not turned into fat), but the person becomes thin
as they lose muscle mass from lack of protein absorption. In overweight people the
carbohydrates are not used efficiently (they are turned into fat), and this causes the
person to become overweight as they also lose muscle mass.
Metamucil™ (Psyllium husks), one or two tablespoons daily, mixed with water or
juice, may be taken to sweep the mucus out of the colon once it is broken down by
the pepsin in the Comfort capsules.
Cleansing The Colon
The Coffee Enema
A high, retention enema, using coffee, should be taken to aid in the elimination of
toxic waste material from the body. The coffee enema should be taken daily for as
long as one is on Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Program. After 42 years, Dr.
Kelley still takes his daily enema.
The coffee enema is very stimulating to the liver and is the greatest aid in elimination
of the liver's toxic wastes.
The coffee enema, besides stimulating liver detoxification, also has beneficial
effects in cleaning the colon. Coffee is an excellent solvent for encrusted waste
accumulated along the walls of the colon. The caffeine also directly stimulates the
peristaltic muscle to contract more powerfully and loosen such deposits, which are
occasionally visible as hard, black material and "ropes" of mucus. Gradually, as the
protein metabolism of the body improves, the muscle tone of the bowel becomes
normal and thorough evacuation is possible without the aid of the enema.
Essentially, the coffee enemas help the liver perform a task for which it was not
designed — that of elimination in 1  or 2 years the accumulated wastes from many
years of living in ignorance of the laws of nature.
At first, most people dislike enemas and have psychological barriers against them.
Ignorance of the purpose and function of the enema, as well as misunderstanding of
the proper procedure for taking it bring about this aversion. I  have observed,
however, that the persons most opposed to enemas soon reverse their prejudices and
become the most avid supporters of them! In many cases, the enema relieves distress
and gives a sense of well being and cleanliness never before experienced. The proper
removal of toxins and debris from the colon is absolutely essential in all conditions of
92
Winning The Cancer War
disease and ill health.
It is most desirable to take the coffee enema early in the morning and it may be
repeated again in early afternoon and/or evening, depending upon the toxic condition
of the body. Enemas using coffee in the afternoon or evening may interfere with
sound sleep. If enemas are needed at these times, many patients prefer to use only
warm pure water omitting the coffee. But it is better to take coffee at these times also,
and a weaker solution to permit sleep would be better than not using coffee at all.
Organic Coffee For The Coffee Enema
Many people prefer to use organic coffee for their enemas. One researcher in
Canada has produced and developed a special, effective blend of organic coffee
beans from different parts of the world that produce a very effective coffee enema.
How To Make A Coffee Enema
1. Just before bedtime each day, make a pot of coffee (1  quart). Unplug coffeepot
and allow to cool to room temperature.
2. It is best to arise early enough each morning to allow time to take the enema in
a relaxed, unhurried state.
3. The coffee must be regular, non-instant, non-decaffeinated coffee. It must be
prepared in enamelware, Corning Ware™, glass or stainless steel, or by the
tricolator filter method. Aluminum or Teflon should not be used at any time! We
have found the coffee that is unbilled or prepared via the "drip method" is
preferable. Use 3 to 4 tablespoons of ground coffee to 1  quart of warm filtered,
distilled, reverse osmosis water should be used.
4. Avoidance of city water supplies (always chlorinated, which has been strongly
linked to hardening of the arteries, and often fluoridated, which has been
strongly linked to cancer and thyroid disease) is most essential to removing
stress from the kidneys. Any water that enters the body should be from filtered,
distilled, reverse osmosis should be used. one of


 who speak spontaneously and honestly are
very often ex-cabinet officials. Independent thinking is discouraged,
and there are official guidelines for how one should think and speak.
Yes-men are not spontaneous men. They desperately fear the un-
known. They fit in. They do what they are told. They never challenge
but rigidly adhere to what is expected of them. Where are you on
this dimension? Can you be your own person in this area? Can you
spontaneously take the avenues that don’t always lead to a sure
thing?
The rigid never grow. They tend to do things the same way they’ve
always done them. A colleague of mine who teaches graduate
courses for teachers frequently asks the old-timers, who have spent
thirty years or more in the classroom, “Have you really been teaching
for thirty years or have you been teaching one year, thirty times?”
And you, dear reader, have you really lived 10,000 or more days or
have you lived one day, 10,000 or more times? A good question to
ask yourself as you work toward more spontaneity in your life.
Prejudice and Rigidity
Rigidity is the basis of all prejudice, which means to prejudge.
Prejudice is based less on hate or even dislike for certainEXPLORING THE UNKNOWN  / 121people, ideas, or activities than on the fact that it’s easier and safer
to stay with the known. That is, people who are like you. Your pre-
judices seem to work for you. They keep you away from people,
things and ideas that are unknown and potentially troublesome.
Actually they work against you by preventing you from exploring
the unknown. Being spontaneous means eliminating your prejudg-
ments and allowing yourself to meet and deal with new people and
ideas. The pre-judgments themselves are a safety valve for avoiding
murky or puzzling provinces and preventing growth. If you don’t
trust anyone you can’t get a “handle on”; it really means you don’t
trust yourself on unfamiliar grounds.
The “Always Having a Plan” Trap
There is no such thing as planned spontaneity. It is a contradiction
in terms. We all know people who go through their lives with a road
map and a list, unable to vary their life a single iota from the original
plan. A plan is not necessarily unhealthy, but falling in love with
the plan is the real neurosis. You may have a life plan for what you’ll
do at age 25, 30, 40, 50, 70, etc., and then you simply consult your
agenda to see where you ought to be, rather than making a new
decision each day and having a strong enough belief in yourself to
be able to alter the plan. Don’t let the plan become bigger than you.
Henry was a client of mine who was in his middle twenties. He
suffered desperately from the having-a-plan-neurosis, and as a
consequence he missed out on many exciting life opportunities.
When he was twenty-two he was offered a position in another state.
He was petrified about the move. Would he be able to make it in
Georgia? Where would he live? How about his parents and friends?
The fear of the unknown literally immobilized Henry, and he turned
down what might have been a chance at advancement, exciting new
work and a brand new en-122 / Your Erroneous Zonesvironment, in favor of staying where he was. It was this experience
that brought Henry to counseling. He felt that his own rigid adher-
ence to a plan was keeping him from growing, and yet he was afraid
to break out and try something new. After one exploratory session,
it was revealed that Henry was a veritable plan freak. He always ate
the same breakfast, planned his clothing days in advance, had his
dresser drawers arranged perfectly by color and size. Moreover, he
imposed his plan on his family as well. He expected his children to
have things in their place and his wife to conform to a rigid set of
rules that he had laid down. In short, Henry was a very unhappy,
albeit organized person. He lacked creativity, innovation and per-
sonal warmth. He was in fact, a plan unto himself, with his goal in
life to get everything into its proper place. With counseling, Henry
began to try some spontaneous living. He saw his plans as manipu-
lators of others, and as convenient escapes from wandering into the
risky unknown. He soon eased up on his family and allowed them
to be different from what he expected them to be. After several
months, Henry actually applied for a job in a firm that would require
him to move frequently. The very thing that he originally feared
became desirable. While Henry is by no means a totally spontaneous
person, he has effectively challenged some of the neurotic thinking
that supported his previously planned-out existence. He is working
on it every day, and learning to enjoy living, rather than living out
his life in a ritualized fashion.
Security: Internal and External Varieties
A long time ago you learned how to write a high school theme or
essay. You were taught that you need a good introduction, a well-
organized body and a conclusion. Unfortunately, you may have
applied the same logic to your life, and come to see the whole busi-
ness of living as a theme. The introductionEXPLORING THE UNKNOWN  / 123was your childhood wherein you were preparing to be a person.
The body is your adult life, which is organized and planned out in
preparation for your conclusion, which is the retirement and happy
ending. All of this organized thinking keeps you from living your
present moments. Living according to this plan implies a guarantee
that everything will be okay forever. Security, the final plan, is for
cadavers. Security means knowing what is going to happen. Security
means no excitement, no risks, no challenge. Security means no
growth and no growth means death. Besides, security is a myth. As
long as you are a person on earth, and the system stays the same,
you can never have security. And even if it weren’t a myth, it would
be a horrible way to live. Certainty eliminates excitement—and
growth.
The word security as used here refers to external guarantees,
possessions such as money, a house and a car, to bulwarks such as
a job or a position in the community. But there is a different kind of
security that is worth pursuing, and this is the internal security of
trusting yourself to handle anything that may come down the pike.
This is the only lasting security, the only real security. Things can
break down, a depression can wipe out your money, your house
can be repossessed, but you, you can be a rock of self-esteem. You
can believe so much in you and your internal strength that things
or others will be seen as mere pleasant but superfluous adjuncts to
your life.
Try this little exercise. Suppose that right now, this second, as you
are reading this book, someone swooped down on you, stripped
you naked, and carted you off in a helicopter. No warning, no money,
nothing but yourself. Supposing you were flown to the middle of
Red China and dropped in a field. You would be up against new
language, new habits, and new climate, and all you would have is
yourself. Would you survive or collapse? Could you make friends,
get food, shelter and the like, or would you simply lie there and
moan about how unfortunate you were to have this catastrophe
visited on you? If you need external security, you’d perish, for all
of your goods would have been taken away. But if you have internal
security and are not afraid124 / Your Erroneous Zonesof the unknown, then you would survive. Security can then be re-
defined as the knowledge that you can handle anything, including
having no external security. Don’t be trapped by that kind of external
security, since it robs you of your ability to live and grow and fulfill
yourself. Take a look at those people without external security,
people who don’t have it all mapped out. Perhaps they are way
ahead of the game. At least they can try new things and avoid the
trap of always having to stay with the safe.
James Kavanaugh in Will You Be My Friend?  writes tellingly about
security in his little poem called Some Day.
Someday I’ll walk away
And be free
And leave the sterile ones
Their secure sterility.
I’ll leave without a forwarding address
And walk across some barren wilderness
To drop the world there.
Then wander free of care
Like an unemployed Atlas.*
Achievement as Security
But the “walking away” to “be free,” as Kavanaugh puts it, is
difficult as long as you carry around the conviction that you must
achieve. Fear of failure is a powerful fear in our society, one incul-
cated in childhood and often carried throughout life.
You may be surprised to hear this, but failure does not exist.
Failure is simply someone else’s opinion of how a certain act should
have been completed. Once you believe that no act must be per-
formed in any specific other-directed way, then failing becomes
impossible.
There may, however, be occasions when you will fail in some
given task according to your own standards. The impor-

THE CRAZE FOR MEDICINE
By Gandhiji
[Mahatma Gandhi while in South Africa, wrote a few articles in
Indian Opinion on "General Konwledge about Health". Therein ho
has given his opinion on the medical profession. He has also
quoted a number of physicians. The articles appear to be more
applicab.le today even after a lapse of more than half a century. we
are quotrng one below because of its great importance for a seeker
of ture health. Indeed it is quite relevant in the conte~t of the urine
therapy. It.is wort.h mentioning here that Gandhiji was a great
naturopath rn practrce and had cured hundreds of patients thereby.]
It is our habit that, at the slightest illness, we rush at once to a
doctor, vaidya or hakim. '1 And if we do not, we take whatever
medici•·~ the barber or our neighbour suggests. It is our belief that
no sick.1ess can be cured without drugs. This however is sheer
superstition. People who suffer from other causes are -and will
conti~ue to be -fewer than those who have suffered, and are
sufferrng, because of this superstition. It, therefore, we can get to
know what constitutes illness, we should be able to take a
somewhat balanced view: "Darad"2 means pain. 11Roga113 means
much the same. It is right to seek a remedy for pain, but it is futile
to take drugs to suppress pain. Actually, the result is often harmful.
:ra'~ing medicine has the same effect as my covering up the refuse
rn my house. Refuse which is kept covered will putrefy and cause
me harm. Moreover, the covering itselfmay putrefy and add to the
refuse. I have than to get rid of the refuse which has since formed as
well as that which was ta begin with. This is the fate that befalls
people taking drugs. But, if one throws out the refuse, the house

will become as clean as it was before. By giving rise to
illness-pain [that is} -N~ture, in fact, informs us that ~here e.xi~ts
impure matter in our body. Moreover, Nature has provrded ~rthrn
the body itself the means of cleansing it, so that, when ~llness
occurs, we should realize that there exists impure matter rn the
body and that she has commenced her cleansing process. I should
be thankful to anyone who came forward to remove the refuse from
my house. So long as he has not done with ~he clea~ing,.l m.ight be
inconvenienced but I would keep my patrence. Lrkewrse rf I am
patient while Nature is cleansing the body, which is my home, it will
be well again, and I shall become healthy and so free from p~in. If
1 have a cold 1 do not have to rush to swallow drugs -sunth [for
instance]. 1 k~ow that some impure matter has accumulated in a
certain part of my body and that Nature has stepped in to remove it.
And so 1 must let her have her way, so that my body may be
cleansed in the shortest possible time. If I resist Nature, her task is
doubled· she has both to cleanse me and cope with my resistance. I
can asslst Nature, for instance, by getting rid of the effective cause
of the impurity, so that more of it does not accumulate. Tha~ is to
say, if 1 stop·eating for the duration of the illness, thus ~reventrng the
ingress of further impurity, and if I exerc~se in fresh.ar~, I shall also
start ejecting the impurity through the skrn. That thrs rs the golden
rule for keeping the body free of disease, every one can prove for
himself. Only, the mind must be kept in a stable state. One who
reposes true faith in God will always act in this fashion.. The
following [thought] will help in bringing about this state of mrnd :

such person, no one can guarantee that my disease wrll be got rrd of.
Not all thof:e who put them~elves in the hands of a d~ctor are
cured. If they were, Mr. Gandhi should not have to wrrte these
chapters and all of us would be leading happy lives."
Experience show that once the [medicine] bottle enters. a house,
it · never leaves. Countless persons suffer from some arlment or
other throughout their lives, go on a:dding to the drugs one after the

other or go on changing their vaiayas and hakims in their search for
the one who will cure them; finally, having ruined both themselves
and others, they die, a troubled death. That famous judge, the late
Mr. Justice Stephen, who had lived in India [for a time], once said
that doctors introduce herbs, of which they know little, into bodies
of which they know even less. Doctors say the same thing after
attaining due experience.
