 proving in both laboratory and
clinical testing that our own urine is an enormous source of vital nutrients,
vitamins, hormones, enzymes and critical antibodies that cannot be
duplicated or derived from any other source. They use urine for healing
cancer, heart disease, allergies, auto-immune diseases, diabetes, asthma,
infertility, infections, wounds and on and on--yet we're taught that urine is a
toxic waste product. This discrepancy between the medical truth and the
public information regarding urine is ludicrous and, as the news releases
you've just read demonstrate, can mean the difference between life and death
to you and to your loved ones. When I contracted a crippling, incurable disease early in life, I used every
available conventional medical and alternative healing method over the
course of many years without success. When an acquaintance suggested I try
"urine therapy" I though she'd lost her mind, but with no options left, I
swallowed my prejudice and decided to give it a go. To my own (and
everyone else's) amazement, my healing was so rapid and so profound with
urine therapy that no question remained in my mind that someone in the
medical community had to know more than they were telling about this
incredible body substance. And as a matter of fact, they did know more - a
lot more. After many months of haunting university libraries, scanning countless
microfiche files and poring over piles of medical journals, I had amassed a
small mountain of astounding research studies, findings and files on the use
of urine in medicine and healing, I discovered, among numerous other
things, that urine, far from being a toxic body waste, was actually a purified
derivative of the blood made by the kidneys which contains, not body wastes,
but rather an incredible array of critically important nutrients, enzymes,
hormones, natural antibodies and immune defense agents. 42 At the end of it all, as I sat tiredly in my chair eyeing the stacks of research
papers covering my desk, I realized that the medical community had pulled
off one of the biggest hoodwinks in history. Take for instance the doctor who
reported that "urine acts as an excellent and safe natural vaccine and has
been shown to cure a wide variety of disorders including hepatitis, whooping
cough, asthma, hay fever, hives, migraines, intestinal dysfunctions, etc. It is completely safe and causes no side effects." (J. Plesch, M.D., The
Medical Press, 1947); or the oncologist who reported that "a patient with
intractable ovarian cancer was treated with Human Urine Derivative and is
now completely well and enjoying the rest of her life." (Dr. M. Soeda,
University of Tokyo, 1968). These remarkable findings were published in
medical journals -but did you ever hear about them? And what about the immunologist who, after extensive clinical and
laboratory research stated: "It was rapidly appreciated that undiluted urine
administered orally was therapeutically effective for Immune Therapy and
was initiated when it became obvious that an allergic condition had become
uncontrollable." (Dr. C.W. Wilson, 1983, Law Hospital, Scotland). Or the Harvard medical researchers who discovered that active "antibodies
to cholera, typhoid, diphtheria, pneumonia, polio, leptospira and salmonella
have been found in the unconcentrated urine of infected individuals." (Lerner, Remington & Finland, Harvard Medical School, 1962). What abut the Scandinavian researcher who, in 1951, conclusively proved
that human urine can completely destroy tuberculosis? It's a deadly disease,
and is now resistant to antibiotics. Isn't it time someone told us that our own
urine is medically proven to be anti-tubercule? Then there's the research into wounds and burns using urea
(the primary solid component of urine). As only one research study among many reported:
"In America, urea has been used for the treatment of various infected
wounds and it has been found to be extremely efficient...
even the deepest wound can be treated effectively..•. Urea treatment has been successful where other treatments have failed. For external staph infections we found urea preferable to any other
dressing... there are no contra-indications to its use." (Dr. L. Muldavis, 1938,
Royal Free Hospital, London). Now these medical reports are only a few of the more than 50 research
studies I compiled and published in the book Your Own Peifect Medicine,
but they certainly give an indication of the importance of what we've never
been told about urine by the medical community. As far back as 1954, the Journal of the American Medical Association
(July issue) reported that "More scientific papers have probably been
published on urine than on any other organic compound." 43 Another publication revealed that "more than 1,000 technical and scientific
papers, related only to low molecular weight substances in urine,
appeared in medical and scientific literature in one single year." All this fuss about a substance that we're told is a body waste? I think one of the most interesting pieces of information on urine I came
across was the fact that the amniotic fluid that surrounds human infants in
the womb is primarily urine. Actually, the infant "breathes in" urine-filled
amniotic fluid continually, and without this fluid, the lungs don't develop. Doctors also believe that the softness of baby skin and the ability of in-utero
infants to heal quickly without scarring after pre-birth surgery is due to the
therapeutic properties of the urine-filled amniotic fluid. Reports on the extraordinary external benefits of urine abound as well. Medical studies relate remarkable cases of stubborn or "incurable" chronic,
severe eczema that miraculously disappear with urine therapy. Because urine
is both anti-viral and anti-bacterial, it's ideal for treating cuts, wounds and
abrasions of all kinds. Acne, rashes, athlete's foot and fungal skin problems
respond dramatically to urine soaks and compresses as well. (You'll f'md complete instructions for using urine therapy internally and
externally in Your Own Petfect Medicine.) For home use or emergency treatment care for wounds, poisonous bites or
stings, and even broken bones, urine is an incomparable, proven natural
healing agent that provides instantaneous therapeutic benefits under any
circumstances. For years, people have said to me, "Well, I have heard of people surviving by
ingesting their own urine, but I thought it was just a myth." Myth it isn't. Medical fact it is. As Dr. John R. Herman remarked in his article which
appeared in the New York State Journal of Medicine in June, 1980:
"Auto-uropathy (urine therapy) did.flourish in many parts of the world and
continues to flourish today.... there is unknown to most of us, a wide usage of
uropathy and a great volume of knowledge available showing the multitudinous
advantages of this modality. Actually, the listed constituents of human urine
can be carefully checked and no items not found in human diet are found in it. Percentages differ, but urinary constituents are valuable to
human metabolism." Your Body's Own Super-Nutrition Therapy
In 1975, one of the founders of Miles Laboratories, Dr. A.H. Free, published
his book Urinalysis in Clinical Laboratory Practice, in which he remarked
that not only is urine a sterile body compound (purer than distilled water),
but that "it is now recognized that urine contains thousands of compounds,
and as new, more sensitive analytical tools evolve, it is quite certain that new
constituents of urine will be recognized." 44 Among the urine constituents mentioned in Dr. Free's revealing treatise is a
list of nutrients that will knock your socks off. As Dr. Free comments, the

 the chest. Then, as the body is raised the head should be allowed to drop
gently backward as far as it will go. Next, return to a sitting
position and relax for a moment before repeating the proced-
ure. When the body is pressed up to the complete horizontal
position tense every muscle in the body. This will have a
tendency to stimulate Vortexes ‘F,’ ‘G,’ ‘E,’ ‘D’ and ‘C.’
“After leaving the Lamasery,” continued Colonel Bradford,
“I went to a number of the larger cities in India, and as an
experiment conducted classes for both English people and
natives. I found that the older members of either felt that
unless they could perform a Rite perfectly, right from the
beginning, they believed no good could come from it. I had
considerable difficulty in convincing them that they were
wrong. Finally I persuaded them to do the best they could and
see just what happened in a month’s time. After a good deal
of persuasion I was able to get them to do their best, and the
results in a month’s time were more than gratifying. “T remember in one city I had quite a number of old people
in one of my classes. With this particular Rite—Number Four
—they could just barely get their bodies off the floor; they
couldn’t get it anywhere near a horizontal position. In the
same class were several much younger persons who had no
difficulty in performing the Rite perfectly from the very start. This so discouraged the older people that I had to ask the
younger ones to refrain from practicing it before their older
class-mates. I explained that I could not do it at first, either;
that I couldn’t do a bit better than any of them; but that I
could perform the Rite 50 times in succession now without
feeling the slightest strain on nerves or muscles; and in order
to convince them, I did it right before their eyes. From then
on the class broke all records for results accomplished. —15—

  Rite No.5

—16—RITE NUMBER FIVE
“The best way to perform this Rite is to place the hands on
the floor about two feet apart. Then, with the legs stretched
out to the rear with the feet also about two feet apart, push
the body, and especially the hips, up as far as possible, rising
on the toes and hands. At the same time the head should be
brought so far down that the chin comes up against the chest. “Next, allow the body to come slowly down to a ‘sagging’
position. Bring the head up, causing it to be drawn as far
back as possible. “After a few weeks, that is after you become quite pro-
ficient in this movement, let the body drop from its highest
position to a point almost but not quite touching the floor. The
muscles should be tensed for a moment when the body is at
the highest point, and again at the lowest point. Before the
end of the first week this particular Rite will be one of the
easiest ones to perform for the average person. “Everywhere I go,” went on the Colonel, “ folks, at first, call
these Rites physical culture exercises. I would like to make it
clearly understood that these are not physical culture exer-
cises at all. They are only performed a few times a day; so
few times that they could not possibly be of any value as
physical culture movements. What the Rites actually do is
this: They start the seven Vortexes spinning at a normal rate
of speed; at the speed which is normal for, say, a young, strong,
robust, virile man of twenty-five years of age. “Now in such a person the Vortexes are all spinning nor-
mally at the same rate of speed. On the other hand, if you
could view the seven Vortexes of the average middle-aged man
—weak, unhealthy, and semi-virile, as he is—you would notice
at once that some of the Vortexes had greatly slowed down in
their spinning movement; and worse still, all were spinning at
a different rate of speed—none of them working together in
harmony. The slower ones allowed that part of the body which
they govern to degenerate, deteriorate, and become diseased. The faster ones, spinning at a much greater speed would have
caused nervousness and nerve exhaustion. All of them making
the individual anything but a real man. “The only difference between youth and virility, and old age
and senility, is simply the difference in the rate of speed at
which the Vortexes are spinning. Normalize the different
speeds, and the old man becomes a new man again.”
—7—Further Information
When the Colonel had finished his description of the Five
Rites I said to him,
“Let me ask you some questions now.”
“Very well,” he replied. “That is just what I want you to do.”
“I feel that from your description I understand the Rites
quite well,” I began, “but when and how often are they to be
employed?”
“They can be used either night and morning,” answered the
Colonel, “in the morning only, or just at night, if it is more
convenient. I use them both morning and night, but I would
not advise so much stimulation for the beginner until he has
practiced them for about four months. At the start he could
use them the full number of times in the morning, and then in
the evening he could gradually build up until finally he is doing
the same amount of practice as in the morning.”
“Just how many times a day should a man use these Rites?" was my next question. “To start with,” said he, “I would suggest you practice each
Rite three times a day for the first week. Then increase them
by two a day each week until you are doing 21 a day; which
will be at the beginning of the 10th week. If you cannot prac-
tice Rite Number One, the whirling one, the same number of
times as the others, then do it only as many times as you can
without getting too dizzy. The time will come, however, when
you can practice it the full number of 21 times. “T knew of one man who required more than a year before he
could do it that many times. But he performed the other four
without difficulty, gradually increasing the number until he
was doing the full 21 on all four. He got very splendid results. “Under certain conditions,” added the Colonel, “there are
some who find it difficult to perform Rite Number One at all,
to begin with. But after having done the other four for about
six months they are amazed at how easy it is to do Number
One. Likewise with the other Rites. If for any reason one or
more of them cannot be used, do not be discouraged; use what
you can. Results, in that case, will be a little slower, but that
is the only handicap. “If one has been recently operated on for, say, appendicitis,
or is afflicted with hernia, he should be very cautious in prac-
ticing Rites Number Two and Five. If one is very heavy, he
—18—should be cautious in the use of Number Five until his weight
has been greatly reduced. “All five of the Rites are of importance. Even though he
may not be able to perform them the prescribed number of
times the individual may rest assured that just a few times
each day will be of benefit. “If, at the end of the fourth week, one finds that he cannot
perform every one of the Rites the required number of times
he should note carefully the ones which he is forced to slight. Then, if he is performing the Five Rites in the morning he
should try to make up the deficiency in the evening. Or if he
is performing the Rites in the evening he should endeavor to
find time in the morning to catch up. In either event he should
not neglect the other Rites, and above all he should never strain
himself. If he goes about performing the Rites in an easy,
interesting manner it will not be long before he finds every-
thing working out satisfactorily, and that he is doing the Rites
the required 21 times a day. “Some people, acting on their own initiative, invent little
aids for their practices. An old fellow in India found it im-
possible for him to perform Rite Number Four properly even
once. He wouldn't be satisfied with just getting his body off
the floor; he was determined that it should reach a horizontal
position as the Rite prescribed. So he got a box about ten. inches high and two and a half feet long. Upon this he put
some bedding folded to the right size, and across this padded
box he lay flat on his back. Then, with his feet on the floor
at one end and his hands on the floor at the other he found it
quite simple to raise his body to a horizontal position. “Now while this little ‘stunt’ may not in itself have helped
the old gentleman in performing the Rite the full 21 times,
still the psychological effect of being able to raise his body as
high as the much stronger men was undoubtedly quite stimu-
lating and may have been


 me someone else’s. So step back a bit and
allow yourself to be an observer of this world of form. Becoming a
detached witness will put you into a state of bliss, while loosening your
tight grip on all of your possessions. It is in this releasing process that you’ll
gain the freedom to live out what the T ao is always teaching by example. Do the T ao Now
Today, practice seeing oneness where you’ve previously seen “twoness”
(separation). Feel the invisible energy that beats your heart, and then notice
it beatin g the heart of every living creature all at once. Now feel the
invisible energy that allows you to think, and sense it doing the same for
every being currently alive. Contemplate these words from the Gospel of Thomas: “His disciples said
to him, ‘When will the Kingdo m come?’ Jesus said, ‘It will not come by
looking outward. It will not say “Behold, this side” or “Behold, that one.”
Rather, the Kingdom of the Father is spread out upon the earth, and men do
not see it.’” Today, know that practicing oneness thinking will help you see
that Kingdom. OceanofPDF.com11th Verse
Thirty spokes conver ge upon a single hub;
it is on the hole in the center that
the use of the cart hinges. Shape clay into a vessel;
it is the space within that makes it useful. Carve fine doors and windows,
but the r oom is useful in its emptiness. The usefulness of what is
depends on what is not. OceanofPDF.comLiving from the Void
In this thought-provoking 11th verse of the Tao Te Ching, Lao-tzu cites
the value of an emptiness that often goes unnoticed. He explains this idea
with images of the hole in the center of a hub, the space within a clay
vessel, and the interior area of a room, concluding that “the usefulness of
what is depends on what is not.” In other words, separated parts lack the
usefulness that the center contributes. This passage invites us to live from
the invisible void that’s at the core of our being; that is, to change how we
think about it. Consider the paradoxical term nonbeing as you ponder your own
beingness. You’re comprised of bones, organs, and rivers of fluids that are
encapsulated by a huge sheet of skin molded to hold you together. There’ s
definitely a distinctive quality of beingness that is “you” in this arrangement
of bodily parts—yet if it were possible to disassemble you and lay all of
your still-functioning physical components on a blanket, there would be no
you. Although all of the parts would be there, their usefulness depends on a
nonbeingness, or in Lao-tzu’ s words, “what is not.”
Imagine lining up the walls of the room you’re presently in, with all of the
elements present: Without the space of the center, it’s no longer a room,
even though everything else is the same. A clay pot is not a pot without the
emptiness that the clay encapsulates. A house is not a house if there is no
inner space for the exterior to enclose. A composer once told me that the silence from which each note emer ges
is more important than the note itself. He said that it’s the empty space
between the notes that literally allows the music to be music—if there’ s no
void, there’ s only continuous sound. You can apply this subtle  awareness to
everything that you experience in your daily life. Ask yourself what makes
a tree, a tree. The bark? The branches? The roots? The leaves? All of these
things are what is. And all of them  do not constitute a tree. What’ s needed
to have a tree is what is not— an impe rceptible, invisible life force that
eludes your five senses. You can cut and carve and search the cells of a tree
endlessly and you’ll never capture it.In the first line of this verse, that hole in the center that’s necessary for the
movement of the wheel can be likened to the void that’s vital for you to
move through in your life. You have an inner state of nonbeing at your
center, so take note of what is visible (your body) as well as the invisible
essence that your existence depends upon.. the T ao part of you. The following is what I hear Lao-tzu saying to you regarding this concept
of living in the void in today’ s world:
Your imper ceptible center is your vital essence. Take the time to shift your attention to the so-called nothingness that is
your essence. What does it beckon you toward? The space emanates from
the invisibleness that’s responsible for all of creation, and the thoughts that
emer ge from your inner self are pure love and kindness. Your inner nonbeingness isn’t a separate part of you, so seek that
mysterious center and explore it. Perhaps think of it as a space contained by
your physical self, from which all of your thoughts and perceptions flow
into the world. Rather than trying to have positive, loving notions, simply
be sensitive to the essence of your beingness. The way of the T ao is to allow
rather than to try. Thus, allow that essential cente r of pure love to activate
your unique usefulness. Allow thoughts that emer ge to enter your physical
self and then leave. Allow and let go, just like your breathing. And vow to
spend some time each day just being attentive to the awesome power of
your imperceptible vital essence. Practice the power of silence every day. There are many individual ways  of doing this. For example, meditation is
a wonderful tool to help you feel the bliss that accompanies your
connection to your inner void, that place where you experience  the way of
the Tao. Vow to be more aware of the “placeless place” within you, where
all of your thoughts flow outward. Find your way to enter the space within
you that is clean, pure, and in harmony with love. The difference between saints and the rest of us isn’t that they have
loving, pure beliefs and we don’t; rather, they function solely from their
essence, where the way of the Tao flows invisibly through their physical
being. This is the primary purpose of learning to meditate, or to be in thesilence, inviting  your essence to reveal itself and allowing you to live in the
void. Do the T ao Now
Spend at least 15 minutes today  living in the void that is you. Ignore your
body and your surroundings; let go of your material identifications such as
your name, age, ethnicity, job title, and so on; and just be in that space
between—that void which is absolutely crucial to your very existence. Look
out at your world from “what is not” and appreciate that your very
usefulness as a material being is comple tely dependent upon this void. Work today on befriending this “what is not” part of you. OceanofPDF.com12th Verse
The five colors blind the eye. The five tones deafen the ear. The five flavors dull the taste. The chase and the hunt craze people’ s minds. Wasting ener gy to obtain rar e objects
only impedes one’ s growth. The master observes the world
but trusts his inner vision. He allows things to come and go. He pr efers what is within to what is without. OceanofPDF.comLiving with
Inner Conviction
In this passage of the Tao Te Ching, Lao-tzu reminds us that far too much
attention is given to the pleasures and experiences of the senses at the
expense of our inner vision. Focusing exclusively on sensory data creates a
world of appearances, which are ultimately illusions. Since everything
comes and goes, the nature of the material world is obviously restricted to
transitory status. When our eyes see only the colors before them, they’r e
destined to become blind to what lies beyond the world of appe arances. We
cannot know the creator if we’re focused exclusively on what’ s been
created. In the same way, we lose our own creativity when we’re unaware
of what’ s behind all acts of creation. Sight, scent, sound, touch, and taste are the domains of the senses. If
you’re locked into a belief that the pursuit of sensory satisfaction is the
focus of life, you’ll be consumed by what Lao-tzu calls “the chase.” This
quest for adoration, money, and power is a waste of energy because there’ s
never enough, so striving for more defines your daily regimen. You can’t
arrive at a place of peace and inner satisfaction when your entire existence
is motivated by not having enough. In fact, Lao-tzu states that the relentless
chase is a formula for craziness. The person who lives according  to the way of the Tao is referred to as a
sage or a master, an enlightened being observing the world but not
identifying exclusively with what’ s visible; being in the world, while
simultaneously aware of not being of this world. The master goes within,
where inner convictions replace  the chase. In silence, sustenanc e is enjoyed
beyond the dictates of the palate. From an inner perspective, nothing more
is neede d. Aware of his or her infinite nature, the sage has the realization
that this is a temporary world of physical appearances,

B
aba	didn’t	make	me	wait	long. It	was	only	a	few	days	later	that	he	returned. Only	this	time	I	didn’t	find	him	under	the	twisted	tree	by	the	side	of	the	road. He	came	to	me. I	was	back	at	school. Nobody	had	called	me	in	for	missing	a	day;	how	this
magic	occurred	I	will	never	know. Maybe	Baba	knew	a	lot	more	tricks	than	I
imagined. When	the	noon	bell	rang,	I	burst	outside	with	the	other	boys—we
had	no	girls	at	our	school	on	the	hill—tearing	off	my	tie	as	I	ran	toward	the
soccer	field. I	was	in	the	backfield	waiting	for	the	kickoff	when	something	caught	my	eye. A	speck	of	white	in	the	distance. Baba	was	watching	us	from	the	flat	roof	of
the	school. Everyone	else	was	so	caught	up	in	the	game	that	they	didn’t
notice. Or	maybe	Baba	was	just	for	my	eyes. Either	way	I	ran	off	the	field	and
ignored	the	shouts	that	followed	me	from	the	rest	of	my	team. When	I	opened	the	creaky	door	that	led	on	to	the	roof,
	I	half	expected	Baba
not	to	be	there. But	he	was,	sitting	calmly	on	the	parapet. “Some	come	true,	but	many	never	do,”	he	said. He	had	barely	turned	his	head
to	acknowledge	my	arrival. “Do	you	know	what	I’m	talking	about?”
“No.”	I	was	now	used	to	Baba’s	habit	of	mystifying	me. “Wishes,”	he	said. “Look	down	there.”
He	pointed	at	the	soccer	game,	which	was	a	mad,	screaming	scramble. Boys
ran	up	and	down	the	field	and	kicked	the	ball	as	if	everything	was	at	stake. “It
doesn’t	matter	what’s	at	stake,”	Baba	said,	picking	up	my	thought. “When
you	really	want	something,	it’s	hard	to	get	your	mind	off	it. Every	moment
counts	until	your	wish	comes	true.”
“But	many	never	do,”	I	said,	repeating	his	words. “Isn’t	that	how	life	works?”
“No,”	said	Baba. “When	your	wish	doesn’t	come	true,	you’ve	gone	against
the	way	life	works. Let	me	show	you.”His	finger	had	found	a	tuft	of	grass	growing	between	two	bricks	in	the
parapet. “A	seed	landed	up	here,	where	there’s	no	soil. It	sprouted	in	a	pinch
of	dust	between	these	bricks. A	little	rain	found	this	cranny,	and	now	there	is
an	explosion	of	life.”	He	flicked	at	the	grass	with	his	finger. “Each	blade	is	so
fragile	that	you	can	crush	it	with	a	tiny	squeeze,	yet	this	grass	has	all	of	life
behind	it. The	power	of	life	is	irresistible. Go	to	the	city	and	you’ll	see	wisps

“Life	has	one	overwhelming	desire,”	said	Baba,	“which	is	to	grow. Your
wishes	are	part	of	life,	and	they	deserve	to	have	its	power	behind	them.”
“So	you’re	saying	every	wish	should	come	true?”
“I	am”	said	Baba. “But	they	can’t.”	I	pointed	down	at	the	soccer	field. “Both	sides	want	to	win. They	fight	to	make	that	wish	come	true. Yet	in	the	end	one	side	has	to	lose. For	them	the	wish	doesn’t	come	true.”
“That’s	very	true,”	said	Baba. “But	you’ve	left	out	the	X	factor,	the	unknown. The	X	factor	is	spiritual. It	turns	failures	into	victories,	because	in	the	deeper
reality	all	wishes
must
	come	true. They	have	no	choice.”
“That’s	quite	a	mystery,”	I	said. “One	worth	exploring	on	our	second	day,	if	you	feel	ready,”	said	Baba. He	didn’t	wait	for	an	answer. Five	minutes	later	he’d	led	me	off	the	roof	and

7DMSO in Malignancy
DMSO AND NEOPLASIA
Neoplasia is characterized by populations of precursor cells with the ability to grow
or divide abnormally. This growth of cells exceeds those of normal tissues around them, which can persist in the same excessive manner even when the promoting stimulus has dissipated. The abnormal growth can create a tumor or mass that can be classified as benign,
premalignant, or malignant and can also result in nontumor proliferation of imma -
ture white blood cells, such as those seen in leukemia. 1 The malignant neoplastic
cells primarily result from damage to DNA, which originates from a variety of endogenous (inside the body) or exogenous (outside the body) sources. 2 Whatever
the source of the stimulus, there is a deficiency in the DNA repair damage system, which can lead to DNA mutations and progression of the malignant process. 2
An enhanced understanding in the past 50 years of the transformational process
of neoplastic cancer cells that mediate their recruitment, activation, programming, and persistence presents interesting new targets for anticancer therapy. 3
Cryoprotective agents such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) are reported to induce
erythroid differentiation of Friend leukemic cells in vitro.4 Since malignant cells are
known to have the capacity to differentiate into benign cells,5 chemical agents that
can induce such cell differentiation are frequently associated with a decrease in, or a loss of, malignant potential. 5
The complex problem of how to study and treat leukemia took a giant step for -
ward in 1966, when a virus-induced erythroleukemic cell line in mice was estab -
lished in the laboratories of Friend et al.6
FRIEND LEUKEMIA CELLS
The observations obtained in subsequent years using Friend’s virus-induced eryth -
roleukemic cell line suggested that it might be possible to treat malignant disease by inducing the differentiation of the tumor cells in vivo. 7,8 The Friend leukemia system
provided an excellent model for testing this concept. Friend leukemia cells (FLCs) can be induced to differentiate in vitro  by any one of a number of cryoprotective
compounds, DMSO being the most notable of that group. 9 This FLC line has pro -
vided a mother lode of experiments in cancer research and is still in use today in the study of cell differentiation. When FLC is inoculated intravenously into mice, malignant disease develops
from leukemic cell infiltration of the spleen, bone marrow, liver, and lymph nodes. 9
When FLC is inoculated locally by subcutaneous injection into mice, the cells 124 Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease
develop into a tumor, which has the characteristics of a myeloblastoma.9 Most of
these animals die when the tumor spreads to other tissues. DMSO has been shown to be a prototypical inducer of cell differentiation whose
activity was discovered when it was exposed to FLC, providing the first example of a
nonphysiological chemical agent that possessed the ability to reverse the differentia -
tion block imposed in leukemia cells.10
Studies in the 1970s indicated that induced differentiation found in vitro  by dif -
ferentiating agents, including DMSO, could have potential to the treatment of malig -
nant disease in vivo. To prove this point, many experiments were designed using FLC
and DMSO to see whether malignant cell differentiation could be turned benign.10
Thus, the hunt for an ideal chemotherapeutic agent was begun. Such an agent would act selectively to program cancer cells to die, as suggested by


ly  aware, but of which the mind can
barely conceive. In rendering the universe as a divided
version of Itself, God produced, from pure
energy, all that now exists —both seen and unseen. In other words, not only was the
physical universe thus created, but the
metaphysical universe as well. The part of
God whi ch forms the second half of the
Am/Not Am equation also exploded into an
infinite number of units smaller than the
whole. These energy units you would call
spirits. In some of your religious
mythologies it is stated that “God the
Father” had  many spirit ch ildren. This
parallel to the human experiences of life
multiplying Itself  seems to be the only way
the masses could be made to hold in reality
the idea of  the sudden appearance —the
sudden existence —of countless spirits in
the “Kingdom of Heaven.”
In this i nstance, your mythical tales and
stories are not so far from ultimate reality —
for the endless spirits comprising the totality of Me are, in a cosmic sense, My
offspring. My divine purpose in dividing Me was to
create sufficient parts of Me so that I could
know Myself experientially. There is only
one way for the Creator to know Itself
experientially as the Creator, and that is to
create. And so I gave to each of the
countless parts of Me (to all of My spirit
children) the same power to create which I
have a s the whole. This is what your religions mean when they
say that you were created in the “image
and likeness of God.” This doesn’t mean,
as some have suggested, that our  physical
bodies look alike (although God can adopt
whatever physical form God  chooses for a
particular purpose). It does mean that our
essence is the same. We  are composed of the same stuff. We ARE the “same stuff”! With all the same  properties and abilities —
including the ability to create physical
reality out of thin air. My purpose in cre ating you, My spiritual
offspring, was for Me to know Myself as
God. I have no way to do that save through
you. Thus, it can be said (and has been,
many times) that My purpose for you is that
you should know yourself as Me. This seems so amazingly simple, yet it
becomes very complex —because there is
only one way for you to know yourself as
Me, and that is for you first to know  yourself
as not Me. Now try to follow this —fight to keep up —
because this gets very subtle here. Are you
ready? I think so. Good. Rem ember, you’ve asked for this
explanation. You’ve waited for it for years. You’ve asked for it in layman’s terms, not
theological doctrines or scientific theories. Yes—I know what I’ve asked. And having asked, so shall you receive. Now, to keep things simple, I’m going to
use your children of God mythological
model as a basis for discussion, because it
is a model with which you are familiar —and
in many ways it is not that far off. So let’s go back to how this process of self -
knowing must work. There is one way I could have caused all of
My spiritual children to know themselves  as
parts of Me —and that was simply to tell them. This I did. But you see, it was not
enough for Spirit to simply know Itself as
God, or part of God, or children of God, or
inherito rs of the kingdom (or whatever
mythology you want to use). As I’ve already explained, knowing
something, and experiencing it, are two
different  things. Spirit longed to know Itself
experientially (just as I did!). Conceptual
awareness was not enough for yo u. So I
devised a plan. It is the most extraordinary
idea in all the universe —and the most
spectacular collaboration. I say
collaboration  because all of you are in it
with Me. Under the plan, you as pure spirit would
enter the physical universe just create d.
This is because physicality is the only way
to know experientially what you know  conceptually. It is, in fact, the reason I
created the physical cosmos to begin
with—and the system of relativity which
governs it, and all creation. Once in the physical u niverse, you, My
spirit children, could experience what you
know of yourself —but first, you had to
come to know the opposite. To explain this
simplistically, you cannot know yourself as
tall unless and until you become aware of
short. You cannot experience  the part of
yourself that you call fat unless you also
come to know thin. Taken to ultimate logic, you cannot
experience yourself as what you are until
you’ve  encountered what you are not. This
is the purpose of the theory of relativity, and
all physical life. It is by that which you are
not that you yourself are defined. Now in the case of the ultimate knowing —
in the case of knowing yourself as the
Creator —you cannot experience your Self
as creator unless and until you create. And
you cannot create yourse lf until you
uncreate yourself. In a sense, you have to
first “not be” in order to be. Do you follow? I think...
Stay with it. Of course, there is no way for you to not be
who and what you are —you simply are  that
(pure, creative spirit), have been always,
and always will be. So, you did the  next
best thing. You caused yourself to forget
Who You Really Are. Upon entering the physical universe, you
relinquished your remembrance of
yourself. This allows you to choose to be Who You Are, rather than simp ly wake up
in the castle, so to speak. It is in the act of choosing to be, rather than
simply being told that you are, a part of  God
that you experience yourself as being at
total choice, which is what, by  definition,
God is. Yet how can you have a choice
about something over which there  is no
choice? You cannot not be My offspring no
matter how hard you try —but you  can
forget. You are, have always been, and will always
be, a divine part of the divine whole, a
member of the body. That is why the act of
rejoining the whole, of returning to God,  is
called remembrance. You actually choose
to remember Who You Really Are, or to  join
together with the various parts of you to experience the all of you —which is to  say,
the All of Me. Your job on Earth, therefore, is  not to learn
(because you already know), but to
remember Who You Are. And to re -member
who everyone else is. That is why a big  part
of your job is to remind others (that is, to re -
mind them), so that they can remember
also. All the wonderful spiritual tea chers ha ve
been doing just that. It is your sole purpose. That is to say, your soul purpose. My God, this is so simple —and
so...symmetrical. I mean, it all fits in! It all
suddenly fits! I  see, now, a picture I have
never quite put together before. Good. That is good. That is the purpose of
this dialogue. You have asked Me for  answers. I have promised I would give
them to you. You will make of this dialogue
a book, and you will render My words
accessible to many people. It is part of your
work. Now, you have many questions,
many inquiries to make about life. We have
here placed the foundation. We have laid
the groundwork for other understandings. Let us go to these other questions. And do
not worry. If there is something about  what
we’ve just gone thr ough you do not
thoroughly understand, it will all be clear to
you soon enough. There is so much I want to ask. There are
so many questions. I suppose I should start
with the big ones, the obvious ones. Like,
why is the world in the shape it’s in? Of all t he questions man has asked of God,
this is the one asked most often. From  the beginning of time man has asked it. From
the first moment to this you have  wanted to
know, why must it be like this? The classic posing of the question is
usually something like:  If God is all -perfect
and all-loving, why would God create
pestilence and famine, war and disease,
earthquakes and tornados and hurricanes
and all manner of natural disaster, deep
personal disappointment, and worldwide
calamity? The answer to this questio n lies in the
deeper mystery of the universe and the
highest meaning of life. I do not show My goodness by creating
only what you call perfection all around
you. I do not demonstrate My love by not
allowing you to demonstrate yours. As I have already expla ined, you cannot
demonstrate love until you can
demonstrate  not loving. A thing cannot
exist without


, etc. There is sufficient energy present in most cases and frequently more, since the body is spared from the use of enormous
amounts of energy required by the digestive processes. This liberated energy is immediately directed by the body into the
healing processes, thus allowing great changes to occur in a limited period of time - months and even years of regeneration
will manifest in just weeks of time. And all this can be done at home, with a minimum of expense, so that healing is possible
for all who have the will to undertake the process. There is nothing more inspiring than to look into a mirror every day and to see more youthful changes occurring along with
better feelings, so that each day brings more hope and encouragement to continue on till the goal of daily living is reached. Yet, at the same time, the appetite can be reasonably content with the taste of delicious and refreshing juices, taken
periodically several times during the day and carried in a thermos wherever you go. After just 2 or more weeks, other foods such as easily digested proteins and fats may be introduced into the diet, allowing
the rebuilding and recasting of the body to proceed after the initial cleansing period has prepared the proper foundation for
the reception of higher quality and more vital food materials. Usually, within a few weeks, people feel much better and in 4 months time, the body becomes stabilized and feels
consistently well. And within a period of less than one year, almost all health problems will have disappeared - even large
tumors and growths. Without further ado, I would like to begin with a presentation of some amazing cases of recoveries from all types of
illnesses and diseases, collected from some internationally famous institutions under the direction of well-known medical
doctors who, by using natural foods and methods alone, were able to successfully cure diseases which today cannot be
duplicated, even in the largest hospitals using the most modern medical methods. Dr. Stanley S. Bass

by Arnold DeVries
SCIENTIFIC CLINICAL WORK
Individual raw food histories are important, but even more so is the applied clinical work in the field of science. Here also we
find strong evidence of the value of raw foods. In America this was noted as early as August of 1907, when an
announcement was made by the New York Post Graduate Hospital that a cure for long-standing and obstinate cases of
consumption was found in certain raw foods. Under the supervision of Dr. John F Russell, eleven patients were given four
ounces of raw vegetable juices each day in addition to their regular meals. The juices were extracted from such vegetables
as potato, rhubarb, summer squash, beet, turnip, cabbage, celery, carrot, parsnip, radishes, string-beans, and peas. Later
fifty additional patients were placed on the same dietary regime. Within seven months the eleven patients were discharged

recovery. TUBERCULOSIS
At a later period, in California, raw vegetable juices were again used in the treatment of tuberculosis. In this instance, Dr. H.
E. Kirshner was placed in charge of 200 tuberculosis patients for the county of Los Angeles at the Olive View Sanatorium. Some of the patients had spent as long as nine years on their backs with very little progress towards recovery. The diet was
composed largely of spaghetti, macaroni, and other cooked foods. Dr. Kirshner added a glass of "green drink’ consisting of
the raw juices of alfalfa, spinach, and parsley, to the diet of each of these patients every day. Results were highly favorable,
and the course of the patients was changed to recovery. Some of the patients who had been considered hopeless were
able to get out of bed in six to eight months. In Dr. Kirshner’s private practice, raw carrot juice, addition to the green juice
mixture, was included in the diet of tubercular patients, which brought about more rapid recovery than did the green juice
alone. HEART DISEASE, ARTHRITIS, LEUKEMIA
Dr. Kirshner has also reported that other chronic ailments can be treated very successfully with raw vegetable juices, taken
in some cases in amounts exceeding two quarts per day. He has cited recoveries from heart disease, prostrate gland
disease, cancer, neuritis, arthritis, and hemorrhoids through the use of raw juices. In one diabetic case, remarkable
improvement was noted within the first 21 days of treatment, and the insulin dosage was reduced from 15 to 5 units per
day. The most remarkable case history cited by Dr. Kirshner, however, was that of a severe case of splenic leukemia. The
patient in this instance was given raw carrot juice — small quantities at first, with gradual increases to very large quantities
— and her weight increased from 65 to 135 lbs. Recovery was complete within 18 months, and at no later time was there
any recurrence of the disease. CANCER
The famous cancer specialist, Dr. Max Gerson, has employed a diet containing large amounts of raw vegetable juices as
part of his treatment for cancer. Some of Dr. Gerson’s  patients are given as much as 16 glasses of raw juice each day, but
most of them are given somewhat smaller amounts, including daily doses of 4 glasses of carrot and apple juice, 4 glasses
of green leaf juice, 2 to 3 glasses of calf’s liver juice and 1 glass of orange juice. About 75 per cent of Dr. Gerson’s cancer
diet, including all juices, is uncooked; the balance consists of vegetable broths and other foods which are cooked by the
least destructive methods. Dr. Gerson has reported  gratifying results in about 50 per cent of his cancer cases, with many
complete recoveries. Indeed, Dr. Gerson’s experience in treating cancer at the Gotham Hospital in New York was so
successful that he was called upon to testify before a subcommittee in the U. S. Senate in 1946. In Canada, Dr. Gerson’s
counterpart may be found in the person of Dr. J. R. Davidson, formerly of the University of Toronto, who has also reported
curing a number of cancer patients on diets which consisted of raw foods and foods subjected to a minimum of cooking. Among other foods, Dr. Davidson prescribes rare meats, raw milk, raw vegetables, and raw vegetable juices made from
carrots, celery, and lettuce. RAW JUICES
In Great Britain, physicians have been equally successful in utilizing freshly-extracted raw juices for therapeutic purposes. The Ministry of Health and Public Health Service Laboratory has issued a report pointing out the value of using the juices of
cabbage, kale, parsley, and other uncooked vegetables in the treatment of a wide variety of diseased conditions. The report
states: "Juices are valuable in relief of hypertension, cardiovascular and kidney diseases and obesity. Good results have
also been obtained in rheumatic, degenerative and toxic states. Juices have an all-around protective action. Good results
can be obtained in treatment of peptic ulceration, also in treatment of chronic diarrhea, colitis and toxemia of gastro and
intestinal origin." The dental scientist, Dr. Harold F Hawkins, has reported that correct dietary control, with at least half of all foods used in
their raw state, is of much value in treating the symptoms of pyorrhea, including infection of the alveolar bone which
supports the teeth and gums. According to Dr. Hawkins, in caring for the pyorrhea patient, it is "essential to work out a plan
of eating that will include food that can be eaten raw such as raw milk, raw eggs, oysters on the half shell, raw vegetable
salads and raw fruit." Dr. Hawkins states that when an adequate dietary is followed, "the gum tone usually shows a definite
improvement in 60 or 90 days, and the X-rays show an improvement in bone density in about a year.”
During the years 1929, 1930, and 1931, Dr. Milton T. Hanke, working through the facilities provided by the University of
Chicago and the Chicago Dental Research Club, studied hundreds of school children in the city of Mooseheart, Illinois, to
determine the effects of adding the uncooked juices of citrus fruits to a conventional diet. During the first year the children
were studied as controls; the second year was the test period, and the third the recheck period. Approximately 16 ounces of
freshly extracted raw orange juice, plus the raw juice of one lemon, was added to the diet of each of 341 children on each
day of the test period. This brought about a sharp increase in growth rate over the control period, as well as a 50 per cent
reduction in the incidence of dental caries and the almost complete disappearance of gingivitis. During the recheck period,
when the quantity of juice was reduced to three ounces a day, the accelerated growth was maintained, though dental decay
again increased and most of the gingivitis reappeared. copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648-1500    www.drbass.com 4Other fruits and


, it is entirely
painless. Q:  Beet is generally considered a very healthy vegetable. Why is it not used in the juices? A:  Beet IS a healthy vegetable and it is all right to use it as such. Dr. Gerson avoided it for
juicing, probably because it is very sweet (beets are used in sugar production). Also, it is a
powerful cleanser, and patients already undergoing systematic detoxification should not be
given any extra cleansing substance. However, small amounts used occasionally as vegetable
will not do any harm. Q: Since these days even organic produce is lower in nutrients than it used to be, shouldn’ t
patients be given extra vitamins and minerals? A: It’s true that organic produce is not as rich as it used to be. However, synthetic vitamins and
minerals, which the pharmaceutical industry uses in its supplements, are almost always poorly
absorbed. Moreover, some are outright damaging (see Appendix II in “A Cancer Therapy ”),
such as Vitamins A and E and several of the B vitamins. A & E are found in fish oils and soy
oil. These have to be avoided, since the fatty substances stimulate tumor growth. The only B
vitamins that are important to use are B3 (niacin) and B12. The others disturb the metabolism; Dr.
Gerson found that they cause damage to the patient. Even if organic foods are lower in nutrients, with 13 glasses of freshly made juice a day
the patient’s body is thoroughly flooded with vitamins and minerals in their living, active form,
that even the sick body is able to assimilate—and they are being  given in truly huge amounts,
to replenish the sick, damaged organs. Pharmaceutical vitamins and minerals, even so-called
‘organic’ ones from plant sources, are usually not, or only poorly absorbed, so that some go into
the system and others do not. This causes new imbalances. Q: Why can’t a cured patient after a year or two start eating a normal diet? A: In theory a ‘cured’ patient could start to eat a ‘normal’ diet. But what is normal? Canned,
tinned, preserved with chemicals, artificially flavored and colored, frozen food? Most patients
no longer want to eat this type of stuff and know that it is not healthy or indeed ‘normal.’ Not
only that, they are unwilling to return to the very foods that caused their disease in the fi rst
place! The next question is: what exactly is a cured patient? How do we know if the organs are fully
restored, and whether the immune system can function despite the input of toxic artificial food? Will the defenses be lost or weakened again? How soon? Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007.

www.thegersonway.comThere is more and more information showing that meat and all animal products (cheese and
all dairy produce, fish, poultry and eggs), are heat damaged, making proteins largely damaging
to the human body rather than providing it with healthy nutrition. (see T. Colin Campbell’s book,
“The China Study”). Q: What lifestyle changes should a recovered patient introduce? A: The patient must bear in mind that household chemicals (cleansers, bleaches, solvents,
polishes and paints) are toxic and must be avoided. Also, many—in fact most—cosmetics
applied to the skin enter the blood stream and are toxic and should be excluded. Especially
harmful are underarm gels, creams or sticks to block perspiration. Healthy perspiration is
odorless. The body attempt to detoxify through perspiration; blocking it forces the toxins back
into the lymphatic system. (see Chapter 5, pg. 41 )
Q: How long will I have to do the therapy? How long until the tumor is gone? How long until
the pain is gone? How long until I can exercise? How long until I can eat (whatever)? A: Questions beginning with “How long …?” cannot be answered with any certainty. It all
depends on the questioner’s individual circumstances and condition. How large is the tumor,
how far has it spread? How old is the patient, and how much damage has he/she suf fered from
drugs or surgery, or inflicted on him/herself with junk food, smoking and other self-destructive
habits? How faithfully will the patient and family follow the therapy, day in day out for
whatever time is necessary? Hence no precise answer in terms of weeks or months is possible. But there is an overall answer that my son Howard learned in the US Navy. When faced with
the possibility of hanging on to the bridge of a submarine that temporarily submer ged due to a
high swell, he asked: “ How long  will I have to hold my breath?” The incredulous senior officer,
after pausing for a few seconds to assess this neophyte, simply said, “As long as it takes!” Can’ t
improve on that. Q: Carrot juice is high in sugars. From several sources we hear that carrot juice feeds
tumors. Is that true? A: All fruit and many vegetables contain complex carbohydrates, which are not actual sugars,
but form the basis of human nutrition. Contrary to the false claims of some practitioners, carrot
juice does NOT feed tumors. If it did, the Gerson Therapy would kill every cancer patient! The
truth is that carrot juice plays a very important part in healing. Rather than harming patients,
it supplies them with plenty of beta carotene, which is converted in the body to Vitamin. A,
and with many other vitamins. Moreover, as one of the most complete sources of minerals, it
contains most of the essential ones in an easily absorbed form. Carrot juice is even high in plant
proteins and as a result represents an excellent provider of total nutrition and healing. Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

Q: With all the enemas being used in the course of the two years on the therapy, will I
become dependent on enemas forever? A: Certainly not! Please bear in mind that the purpose of the enemas is not to clear stools from
the intestines; indeed, they only reach part of the colon and don’ t interfere with evacuation. This explains why some Gerson patients are able to pass normal stools between enemas. If
constipation was a problem before embarking on the therapy, once the liver and the intestines
are fully restored, the patient develops “regular” bowel movements. The enema routine need
not threaten the recovered “regularity,” and in most cases, when the therapy has come to an end,
normal evacuation takes over without a hitch. In exceptional cases, when this does not happen,
at worst the patient will have to take a half-strength enema daily as a morning routine. To quote
Dr. Gerson’s emphatic rule,
“Never let the sun set on a day when you haven’t moved your bowel!”
Q: Since this therapy bans animal products, where do I get my protein? A: It is a mistake to believe that all protein is of animal origin. On the contrary. Most vegetables
contain very adequate amounts of protein that is easily absorbed, well digested and assimilated. Thanks to these qualities it produces healing, rather than feeding tumor tissue, bringing on
arthritic conditions, damaging kidneys, and giving rise to other health problems caused by the
heavy consumption of animal protein. Carrot juice, a mainstay of the Gerson program, is high in
protein; so are potatoes, oatmeal, and most vegetables. It is no accident that the strongest and largest land animals, i.e., elephants, bulls, orangutans,
bison and others are vegetarians and obtain their protein from grasses, plants, leaves, and fruit. Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

Life After Gerson
By now it should be clear that recovering from a life-threatening disease on the Gerson Therapy
is a difficult journey: a long and hard process, demanding courage, patience and perseverance—
and certainly worth every ounce of effort. Besides defeating the potential killer, this way of
healing is also a great investment in a long and healthy future. We have many recovered patients
on record who enjoy excellent health and vitality well past the age that is generally assumed to
bring on all manner of illnesses and all-round physical and mental decline. Not many therapies
can claim to be lifesavers and powerful rejuvenators as well! Coming off the therapy at the right time has to be handled with care. Just when is the right
time is a tricky question. To stop too soon, before all the essential organs are restored is a great
mistake, likely to lead to a recurrence. In Dr.Gerson’s time rebuilding the body’s defenses after
cancer took some 18 months. Today that is no longer enough. The world is infinitely more toxic
and people are more seriously damaged than they were half a century ago; as a result, cancer
patients need two full years


IVE IN THE LIGHT
Ram Da ss tells one of my favorite stories of all time. It’ s about  his guru,
with whom he lived and worked  for years in India, a man he considered to
be the most spiritually advanced person he’d ever met in his life. At that time Ram Dass was doing some experimenting with T imothy
Leary and the li ke, so he had three capsules of LSD with him. “ That would
be enough,” he said, “to put a horse into a tranquilized state  for several
days. ” H e had planned to use this LSD for a number of months, just one or
two micrograms at a time. His guru said to him, “Y ou have funny medicine. let me see it. ” Ram
Dass showed him the capsules b ut warned, “Y ou don’ t want to take all three
of these. Y ou should only take a few micrograms from one of t he capsules,
and that will give you the desired ef fect. ”
His guru took all three capsules, put them in his mouth, and swallowed. He went under his blanket, and then came out and did all these funny
things. Then he smiled and said, “Do you have any more. It doesn’ t seem to
be working. ”
Ram Dass realized that the drugs had no ef fect on his guru at all. This
was his conclusi on, which is one of the greatest lines I’ve ever heard on this
subject: “If you’re already in Detroit, you don’ t have to take a bus to get
there. ” In other words, when someone is already in the spiritual world, they
don’ t need anything to get them there. Learning how to “get to Detroit” for us means achieving what we’ve
been tal king about in this book. It’ s when we are comfortably in the place
that is powerfully ours. It’ s when we understand that thought originates
with us, which means that life is our own creation. W e know th at our form
will sim ply pass  along, but we can’ t kill thought, so who we really are can
never die. When you are truly awake, w ith heightened spiritual awareness, you
know th at if you’re always looking for something, it will always elude you. That’ s tr ue of anything in life. T ake success: Making a lot of money is not
what makes a pe rson successful. Rather, a successful person brings success
to everything that they do, and money is most likely only one of the benefits
that they get as a result. Enlightenment is the same thing. Enlightenment is something  that you
bring to all of your interactions, all of your thought processes, all of your
life experiences. It’ s really an attitude or an approach to life. That attitude or
approach is literally one of “living in the light,” and that means you’re
moving toward yourself. Y ou’re  not ever moving away from yourself, and
you see the perfection in yourself and who you are. Y ou don’ t question the
universe. Y ou see everything a nd everyone in it as exactly where they’re
supposed to be. Y ou have an a bsence of judgment and negativity. Y ou’re
balanced as a human being. Enlightenment i s a state of mind in which, once you have it, once you
accept y ourself and your perfection, then there’ s no more trying. Y ou are
already in Detroit. IT ALL WORKS PERFECTL Y
Think about this: If you take a b ite of food and start to chew, y ou’ve got
to do a lot of things with that food in order to make it apply to  you. Let’ s
say you just had  a bite of salad, and now you’ve got lettuce and tomato in
your mouth. W ell, you’ve got to get some saliva into your mouth as well to
help you with that. Y ou’re not trying to salivate; your body knows exactly
what it’ s supposed to do. When you swallow, you don’ t have to monitor the
peristaltic reactions in your throat and esophagus to make sur e that food
goes do wn inste ad of up. It never goes up into your nose—well, maybe
once in a while, if you’re doin g something really silly. But you don’ t eat
your food and say, “Oh, wait a minute, I put it into my no se. It’ s not
supposed to go there. ” It goes where it’ s supposed to, and then it breaks
down. Y ou don ’ t have tomatoes and a great big piece of lettuce floatin g around
through your body, saying, “Where are we supposed to go. ”  Y ou chewthem up, and dif ferent kinds o f enzymes attack the pieces of food. It all
goes exa ctly wh ere it’ s supposed to, through the digestive system and then
to all dif ferent parts of your b ody—your pancreas needs a little lettuce
today, perhaps. W ithout some co mponent of the tomatoes, maybe your toes
are going to fall of f. Every place in your body gets the proper nutrients
without your having to do anything. Y ou’re n ot going around saying, “Oh my, I’ve got to get all this done. I’ve got so much to do with th is digestion. I’ve got to make sure that my
pancreas and duodenum work. Ugh, how do I turn this lettuce into waste. How am I going to get that out. ” Y ou’re not busy doing any of that. It all
works in harmony and perfect ion. Y our heart is beating, and  it does so
thousands of times every single  day. Y ou don’ t need to tell your hea rt to
pump blood for it to do so perfe ctly. Y ou don’ t have to do any of it, yet you
are controlling it all. Enlightenment is like that: Y ou get in harmony, and you start fu nctioning
optimally. Who you are as a hu man being just happens. It all works. Y ou
don’ t have to go around thinking every minute, Is this an enlightened
r esponse. Am I using higher consciousness her e. I don’ t know if I’m being
spiritual enough. Do I need to a djust. Y ou don’ t have to do that any more
than you  have to beat your heart or operate your digestive system. It all
works perfectly when you’re in harmony. If you’re not, then it’ s as if you
were trying to d irect the tomato and lettuce to the right places. Y ou would
get so mixed up and puzzled by it. If yo u tried to beat your own heart, you couldn’ t. Y ou natura lly let it
work. This is the same way you must see yourself within the universe—
allow yo urself to  work perfectly. The way you do so is to focus on yourself
while al so havin g respect and lo ve for everyone. These universal laws that
we’re ta lking ab out here are the very same ones that are in place for your
digestion or your cardiopulmonary system. The necessary enzymes are
released instantaneously, and i t all happens in a perfect way. There are
certain r ules and laws that apply  to everything we do, from how we relate to
each other to how our bodies function. Sometimes after hearing me speak or reading my books, people will
come up to me and say, “I’m a seeker too. ” They assume that I ’m this way
because I talk about the higher truths, principles, and laws that are universal
yet elud e so many people. This k ind of amuses me, so I’ll respond, “I’m not
a seeker. I’m n ot looking for a nything. I’m evolving, going through thedream, and enjoying it all. I am  bringing this mind-set to everything that I
do. ”
When you’re in harmony wit h these transcendent laws, you are in
enlightenment. Y ou’re not seeking it. Y ou don’ t have to unders tand it, and
you don’ t have to agree with  it. Y ou simply know that it is. In fact,
enlightenment is nothing more than the quiet acceptance of what is. Y our desire to m ake things better is also part of what is, so you learn to
go w ith that. W hen you are focused on making things bette r—helping,
serving, extending love—and are able to send that out into the world, you
are now a part of the spiritually aware, awakened consciousness. THE THREE ST AGES OF ENLIGHTENMENT
I’ve fou nd that there are three specific stages of enlightenment. The first
stage is learning  by hindsight. As an example, I think about this woman
who told me: “T en years ago, my husband came home from work, said,
‘I’m lea ving yo u,’ and walked out. I was devastated. For years, I couldn’ t
get over it. Bu t now I can look back on his leaving me as the most
important turning point in my l ife. I see the blessing in it. ” Af ter years of
suf fering, she was able to come to the realization that his leaving her was a
blessing, not a tragedy. In


 of the nutrition department,including an abundance of powerful saliva forthe hastening of the mouth treatment, but sucha beatific facility can be secured in a very shorttime by the faithful and intelligent employmentof all departments of head digestion. A person who specialises on the mouth end of
the alimentary canal has plenty of time to restbetween inspections. He will naturally watchfor any feeling of results that may happen whileMother Nature is doing her twenty-five feet ofdigestion and absorption, but if his part has
been performed properly, there will be no newsof the process until there is something toexcrete from the material ingested. When thisoccurs, if a microscope is handy for minuteinspection, it will be found that most of theexcreta is composed of what I think of as thedandruff of the alimentary canal. It is composedof shapeless particles of skin which have beendiscarded by the mucous surface of the canal inthe same manner that dead skin is beingcontinually detached from the head and allparts of the external surface of the body. Depending on the nature of the food, there maybe small particles also of indigestible cellulosefrom vegetable foods and the condensed solids ofthe digestive juices when they have been usedand worn out. THE EFFECT  OF PREJUDICE. I have noticed that the early prejudices in
favour of or against foods are likely to prevailthroughout life. I have observed this in trying tosecure local appreciation for my own favouriteNew England dishes in foreign countries. Tinning, or canning, science has made it
possible to serve Boston baked beans and brownbread or even an entire Thanksgiving Dinner inJapan or Borneo, but it is impossible to excitenative appreciation for them commensuratewith the cost and trouble of the transportation. In Scandinavia, where they file the appetite tothe keenest of edges with the piquancy of the" Smoer Broed," or " Smoer Goes,"* theAmerican taste for very sweet things is notappreciated. Chocolates for that market aremore bitter than sweet, and so it goesthroughout the world where head digestion isimportant in determining the prescription offoods. At one time, during a year and a half of travel
in unusual countries where the French, Englishor American menu is not easily available, I
never missed an opportunity to study the effectof head prejudice on digestion. If the fortunateopportunity occurs to sample the sumptuous" ris tavel " of Java, there will be the best ofchances to confirm my observation in this
* Literally " Butter-goose"; a table set apart, with bread and
butter and a variety of snacks. regard. This dish is varied in sumptuousness, or
variety, but the humblest offering of it consistsof a large and deep soup plate piled high in themiddle with snowy rice with each individualgrain unbroken. This, to begin with, is atriumph of oriental culinary art. Surroundingthis rice mountain are dabs of every sort of a" relish " any one ever imagined. You selectthese from tiers of plates borne in each hand byas many as a dozen servants, following eachother in procession, and presentingopportunities of choice amounting to twenty ormore, perhaps even thirty or more inextraordinary cases. Hence it is the privilege ofthe guest to take much or little of any, or all, ofthe condiments according to the state of hisappetite or greed. All the colours and nearly thewhole food kingdom are represented, and thetemptation is increased by the art ofarrangement. There is no way of judging whateach sort of relish is : It may be fish, fowl,vegetable, tuber, side-meat, or a combination ofnuts or fruits, as far as the intelligence of theuninitiated goes. There were several members of the party offoreigners of different degrees of prejudice
against anything strange in appearance. To one,all of the comestibles were " utterly impossible,"and remained so to the end; while to otherscuriosity got the better of suspicion, and finallythe appetites looked forward to dinner-timewith especial cordiality, for the rice-mountainrelish-cordon and the complicated combinationwere digested with ease. The standard dish, however, of the Javan
dinner is boiled potatoes and beefsteakswimming in a pint of good butter gravy, so thateven the conscientious dietist with vegetarianpreferences may revel in something that smacksof home and mother, with such an abundance ofluscious fruits that nothing but gustatorydelight happens as a usual thing. Still, it is thesame in Java or Japan, in London, Paris,Berlin, Vienna, Rome or New York, thedigestion of food is under the control of the headand therefore may be called head digestion. PROFESSOR  FISHER 'S EXPERIMENT. The most important large experiment for the
testing of head digestion under conditions ofHORACE  FLETCHEK  IN HIS MASTER  OF ARTS ROBES. THE AUTHOR  ON HIS SIXTIETH  BIRTHDAY, PERFORMING  FEATS OF
AGILITY
AND STRENGTH  WHICH  WOULID  BE REMARKABLE, EVEN IN A YOUNG
ATLETE. strict scientific control was that inaugurated
and conducted by Professor Irving Fisher, ofYale University, in America. Professor Fisher occupies the Chair of
Political Economy at Yale, has made extensiveresearches into the factors that influence theeconomies or extravagances of living, and isPresident of the Committee of One Hundred ofthe American Association for the Advancementof Science on Health. Professor Fisher's interest in my revelations
and tests relative to the potency of headdigestion came primarily from a personal testwhich worked wonders for him in establishing afoundation for good health. He was notesatisfied with the later Chittenden experiments,because they substituted academic prescriptionfor natural selection in formulating the rules ofthe inquiry. Like myself, in conducting theoriginal researches, Professor Fisher realizedthat the practical value of my discoveries wasthat no one needed a biological chemist to orderhis meals for him or tell his appetite what hisbody needed in the way of food elements. The Fisher experiment worked with nine
healthy undergraduates who were ambitious totake high scholastic honours, and who had little
time for athletics or any form of physicalexercise, they being types of the averageUniversity undergraduate. A generous table was supplied them with
meat and every variety of food that usuallycomposed college fare. The only instructionswere that thorough mastication and especialattention to the enjoyment of the food asrecommended by me in my books should befaithfully performed. This course was pursuedfor half a year, and for the rest of the year, inaddition to the careful head treatment andenjoyment, preference was to be given to foodsknown to be low in nitrogen content; but not tothe extent of suppressing any distinct call ofappetite for them. In the first half of the experiment the men
held their own on about 40 per cent. less food,computed by cost, and increased their strength-endurance ability by something more than 100per cent., with the added felicity of feelingunusually fit all of the time, entirely escapingthe slack or sick spells they had beenaccustomed to, and improving greatly in theirgeneral studentability, that is: power of
concentration, memory, mental comfort,profundity of sleep, etc. During the second half of the experiment still
more improvement was secured owing to thereadiness of the body to accommodate itself tothe wish by favouring the economies. I have not a copy of the report at hand. It is
included in the publications of Yale Universityabout 1905. While all of the abundance of confirmatory
evidence which has accumulated since 1898 isvaluable and gratifying, the verdict of theunremitting observation since then is that theproblem of nutrition is always a personal one. After fifteen years of devotion to the study ofthe head-end question, with due attention to thetell-tale excreta and the product expressed interms of energy and general comfort, I amunable to predict what my body is going to wantto-morrow in the way of nutrition supply. I cansay with some confidence that if I go on doing asI have been accustomed to doing daily, and noshock of grief or surprise intervenes to upset allcalculations, I am likely to find nutritivesatisfaction as expressed by appetite among the
foods that are commonly agreeable to me. If I am compelled or impelled to do a great
stunt of walking or other unusual exertion, orreceive crushing news, all my presentpredictions may be useless. The body itself,from the hair on the head to each finger or toe-nail will know what it wants and will havegiven to the caterer Appetite its requisitioncovering the need. In the meantime each braincell and all of the bones have not beenneglectful of their sustenance requirements, norhave they been backward in letting Appetiteknow. It is fortunate that the common needs of
digestion may be supplied from a limited rangeof food varieties. Milk is all-sufficient always forgeneral supply of the nutritive requisites.

testifies
to
the
existence
of

Comment
and
recommendation:
The
use
of
urine
through
the
skin
always
leads
to
cleansing
of
the
body
and
brings
everything
to
the
surface. If
boils
appear
on
your
skin
after
4
to
5
massage
procedures
with
urine,
this
is
proof
that
the
cleansing
mechanism
has
been
started. Continue
massaging
the
skin
every
other
day. Visit
the
steam
room
or
sauna
more
often,
sweating
rids
the
skin
and
the
whole
body
of
waste. Once
again
I
warn
against
large
doses
of
urine
in
the
initial
stage. People
often
don't
even
have
one
an
idea
of
  how
rotten
their
body
is,
how
many
diseases
are
in
it
ready
to
manifest
themselves
at
any
time. Urine
brings
them
to
the
surface,
helps
to
find
out
what
many
have
no
idea
about. Example:
"I
tried
massaging
my
head
with
urine
about
three
times
before
the
steam
bath. Dandruf f
disappeared,
hair
softened. Then
I
properly
lubricated
my
head
with
urine
for
the
fourth
time
and
suddenly
I
started
to
have
a
severe
headache,
the
blood
pressure
jumped
to
160/100. I
stopped
the
massage,
I
drink
urine
once
a
day. After
a
week
the
headaches
stopped.'Comment
and
recommendation:
This
woman
was
very
sick. She
took
a
lot
of
medicine
and
called
the
emer gency
room
once
a
week. Massage
of
the
head,
acupuncture
points
and
reflex
zones
agitated
the
whole
organism,
which
led
to
the
mentioned
reactions. It
is
necessary
to
clean
the
liver,
it
is
clogged,
which
was
one
of
the
causes
of
the
increase
in
blood
pressure. Another
example
shows
symptoms
when
blood
clots
dissolve
in
the
legs. Example:
"After
malaria,
I
have
a
diseased
liver
and
blocked
blood
vessels
in
my
right
leg. I've
been
drinking
urine
for

month
now. In
the
place
where
the

it
itches
strongly,
as
if
there
is
some
kind
of

blood

suddenly
disappeared. I
am
happy
and
now
drink
urine
three
times
a

a

or
kidney
stones
and
doesn't
know
about
it,
sand
may
start
coming
out
of
his
body
when
he
drinks
urine. This
should
not
surprise
you,
urine
simply
eliminates
all
pathology
in
the
body. Example:
"I

doing

in
1990. During
that

I
managed
to
get

the
noise
in

I
can
hear
again
in
my

my
hands
stopped

and
the

came
out

three
months
the
sand
went,
the
swelling
of
the
knees
disappeared. 'Recommendation:
When
you
clean
your
colon
and
with
it
the
whole
body
with
urine
enemas,
you
may
initially
feel
great
pain
and
the
urine
will
be
excreted
immediately. This
indicates
the
pathology
of
the
colon
and
the
whole
body. When
using
enemas
with
evaporated
urine,
you
can
get
worms
of
considerable
size,
whole
chains,
jellyfish-like
masses,
various
formations
as
black
as
tar,
blanks,
detached
polyps
and
other
messes. The
excretion
of
these
pollutants
and
wastes
confirms
the
healing
effects
of
urine. Continue
the
urine
enemas,
every
other
day,
deny
your
body
rest,
so
that
the
pain
subsides
and
everything
calms
down. You
will
be
able
to
keep
even
evaporated
urine
in
you
for
20
minutes
or
longer. Example:
"I
cleaned

hundred people and found that half of those with insomnia also suf fer from obstructive sleep
apnea. Then they surveyed people with obstructive sleep apnea and found that half had
insomnia. Y ears later, a study published in the Mayo Clinic Pr oceedings  of 1,200 chronic
insomniacs found that all 900 of the patients prescribed some kind of drug to help them sleep,
including antidepressants, had “pharmocotherapeutic failure.” The more than 700 patients
taking prescription drugs reported the most severe insomnia. These drugs not only are
inef fective for the patients taking them, but can actually make sleep quality worse because
insomnia for many people isn’ t a psychological problem; it’ s a breathing problem. Barry

muddles the lar ger problem of snoring and sleep apnea. Any disturbances in breathing during
sleep, be it apnea, snoring, heavy breathing, or even the slightest constriction in the throat, can
