 your glands healthy, as these are the regulators of most of
your bodily functions.
TESTES/TESTICLES (GONADS)

A male has two oval-shaped testicles located in the scrotum. These are the
male reproductive glands and are a part of the endocrine gland system.
Reproductive cells called spermatozoa are produced in the testes. These
glands also produce testosterone and inhibin.
Testosterone is secreted by the interstitial cells called “Cells of Leydig,”
and inhibin is secreted by the sustentacular cells. It should be said here that
testosterone (steroid) is like estrogen in its aggressive nature in creating
cellular changes. Progesterone is a cortical-type steroid produced in the
adrenal glands that
counterbalances estrogen and testosterone, especially
when they create inflammation. Testosterone is also produced in the cortex of
the adrenal glands of both males and females.
Testosterone accelerates growth and cellular function, as well as
stimulates the flow of blood. It has similar characteristics to estrogen in
affecting secondary sexual characteristics. It also affects:
erections
proper growth and development of male sexual organs
deepening of the voice
greater muscle development
development of pubic, facial and excess body hairdistribution of fat
many metabolic relationships
Summary: The Endocrine Glandular System

AH of the endocrine glands are vital to the health and well-being of the
physical body. It is enough to say that every tissue in your body interacts
with every other tissue. This is why we should look at the body as a whole
entity, working as one for the well-being of itself. All that it does is for self-
survival.
Study and learn about the functions of your endocrine glands. This will
help you a great deal. We must learn the ways and secrets of this incredible,
conscious machine that can perform like a new car if kept clean and fed
properly with the correct building materials and fuels. Look to nature for
your answers, not science. Use science to try to fill in what pieces of
information you might need to understand how things work.
However, always step back and try to get a picture of your body as a
whole and how it would function in nature. There is an old saying that
exemplifies this: “Sometimes you can’t see the forest for the trees.” If you’re
always looking at the trees, you sometimes miss the beautiful forest. The
whole is far greater than its parts (and yet, its parts make up the whole). That
is to say, forget what you think you know about health and observe nature
and how it works. You will learn a lot more about the truth of things,
especially on how to get healthy.
As previously noted, 75 percent of all diseases have an endocrine gland
involvement. Through generations of toxic and acid food consumption we
have weakened our glandular system to the point of atrophy in many cases.
Most humans do not think of strengthening their cells, so they keep
passing down genetically weakened tissue generation after generation. The
problem here is that each generation is weaker than the last. Look around and
observe the conditions of our children. They’re coming into this world with
chronic and degenerative glandular weaknesses. No medicine on earth can
stop this. Health is the only answer!
As previously stated, your glands are the bosses (or controllers and
regulators) of the cells, tissues and organs of the body. When they become
hyper- (over) active or hypo- (under) active, it can create many cellularchanges. This can have a highly acidic effect upon tissues, leading to
lymphatic and immune responses. This is especially true with estrogen,
testosterone and aldosterone. Long-term exposure without cortisone and
progesterone buffers can lead to fibrocystic conditions of tissues, as well as
tissue atrophy (destruction) and cancers.

MODULE 2.9
The Muscular System

CONNECTIVE TISSUE

Connective tissue is a strong tissue, composed of collagen (protein) fibers,
that forms organs, glands, tissues (muscles), etc. Connective tissue offers
support, strength and form to cells and their respective tissues. Calcium is one
of the main components, besides protein, that affects the strength of
connective tissues. When the thyroid gland is weak, you lose your ability to
utilize calcium. This can create a variety of effects, including: hemorrhoids,varicose/spider veins, prolapsed conditions of organs (bladder, uterus, skin,
etc.), fingernail ridging and weaknesses, and hair loss.
TENDONS

Tendons are composed of fibrous connective tissue and serve as fasteners or
attachments of muscles to bones and other parts.
MUSCLES

Muscles are tissues that consist primarily of contractile cells. These tissues
(muscles) serve to produce movement. They also serve as structural support.
An example of this would be the spine, where all the muscles on each side of
the vertebrae serve as supports. If one side becomes weaker through toxicity
and inflammation, the strong side will pull the spine out of place.
There are three basic types of muscles in your body: involuntary (or
smooth muscles), voluntary (or striated muscles), and cardiac muscles.
INVOLUNTARY (OR SMOOTH MUSCLES) —
Fall under the autonomic nervous system (without conscious control).
Smooth muscles are composed of spindle-shaped cells and have no cross
fibers or sections (unstriated). Involuntary muscles mainly comprise internal
organs, including the GI (gastrointestinal) tract, urinary tract and respiratory
passages.
VOLUNTARY (OR STRIATED)—Found mainly as skeletal muscles, but
also can be found in the throat (esophagus, etc.). Voluntary muscles fall
under the voluntary nervous system (CNS) for conscious control. These
muscles have fibers grouped into bundles and are surrounded by connective
tissue formed into cylinders. These are stronger muscles, designed for heavier
activity (pulling, stretching, etc.).
CARDIAC MUSCLES — Similar to striated muscles in that they are made up
of tissues that are like long cylinders. Cardiac muscles form a continuous
network of cylinder fibers with intervals of intercalated disks or cross-type
fibers called Purkinje fibers. Purkinje fibers create the impulse-conducting
system of the heart.Muscles come in many shapes and sizes. They include:
Strap or flat type
Striated, which have cross-over sections in their fibers for added strength
Unstriated, which have no cross-sections. They are called smooth
muscles.
Spindle-shaped (triangular) muscles with a “fleshy” body and tapering at
one end like a “top”
Papillary muscles which are like columns supporting valves (heart)
Sphincter muscles—circular-type muscles which make up various
sphincters, including the stomach. Sphincter muscles also encircle
various ducts and orifices (anus, etc.).

 MODULE 2.10
The Nervous System

CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS)

The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord.
These tissues consist of gray and white matter. The white matter transmits
impulses throughout the CNS.
The brain is made up of nerve tissue and is contained within the cranial
cavity of the cranium. It has three parts to it: the cerebrum, cerebellum, and
the brainstem (medulla, pons and midbrain). There are five lobes that make
up these three parts. These five lobes are the

SECTION IV - USE IN BURNS
 The most common nickname attributed to Aloe Vera is "the burn plant". Again, here we find some good
research but very few modern clinical studies, despite the fact that Aloe Vera is used quite widely in the USA and even in the UK for general burns and post radiotherapy. Of the current workers, Professor J P
Heggars, who is the Head of Research at the Plastic Surgery Department at the University of Galveston,
Texas, is perhaps the most celebrated. His work has never been funded by the Aloe industry, unlike
several other workers, so is truly independent

.  Re-
member,  in all which  is done,  except  in a few  Activities  of
the Currents  of Energy,  you  may,  if you  so determine,  undo
it; because  you  are the Authority  as to how  the Currents  of
Energy  will  act. In the Service  which  has been  rendered  in
Previous  Classes  in preparation  for This,  a few  have  deter-
mined  not to give  obedience!  They  have  made  it impossible
for Us to give  them  the Blessing,  but that  cannot  be helped.
It is the choice  of the Individual;  but  you,  today,  who  are
understanding  sufficiently  to know  something  of the Mean-
ing of My Words,  I am sure  will  not fail to give  the Obedi-
ence  to Life;  which  enables  This  Mighty  Work  to go on in
Its Blessing,  Its Perfecting  Activity;  for the Release  of your
America—for  the Release  of your  America  from  going  thru
the destruction  which  would  destroy  its people.  That,  is
why  We  have  brought  about  such  Powerful  Means  of
reaching  mankind;  and  We will  reach  two  million  people
more  within  this  year!
I want  you  to realize  THIS  is not an ordinary  thing.  It is
a Mighty  Activity  of your  own  Life;  calling  as the "Call  to 388 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
Light,"  indicates  to you,  for Its Freedom—not  only  calling,
but demanding  It! How  is it that  Life  can demand  certain
things  now,  when  It never  has before ? Because  of the Cos-
mic Dispensation  which  has been  given.  The  Source  of all
Life to this  planet  has said,  the Light  must  expand  within
the people  on this  planet!  Since  This  Group  of people  has
been  chosen  as the "Cup  of Light,"  the Heart  Focus  for the
Earth;  you  who  are ready  to give  attention  and  obedience
to Life,  must  be those  thru  whom  This  Light  first  expands!
Its Radiance  pouring  forth  in your  Calls,  touches  the feel-
ing world  and  activity  of others  of mankind.
It would  be almost  incredible,  if I were  to state  to you
mathematically,  the Power  with  which  This  "I AM"  In-
struction  does  reach  mankind.  I mean  by that,  the power
of the  momentum  which  you  have  gained  within  This
Class,  especially.  When  you  set ponderous  machinery  into
action—for  instance,  in your  electric  plants  for generat-
ing the power,  for heating,  lighting  and  all electrical  ac-
tivity,  you  must  have  things  in order.  If something  is out
of order,  then  the entire  activity  is held  in abeyance;  until
it is put  into  order,  so the whole  may  go forth  in BAL-
ANCED  ACTIVITY.
While  you  are in somewhat  of a similar  position,  Life
will not  permit  you,  who  are ready  to give  obedience,  to
longer  be held  back  by others  who  might  not give  the obedi-
ence.  Therefore,  I am more  than  delighted  today,  to call
your  attention  to these  facts;  because  in the mass  raising
activity,  it would  largely  depend  on the  combined  Har-DISCOURSE  XXIII  389
mony  and  Obcdience.  Since  Life  has  made  this  slight
change,  I am grateful  those  who  can,  may  go forward  now,
and the others  follow  later,  if necessary.
Today,  in accepting  the Vast  Power  and  Freedom,  thru
the Dispensation  for your  Ascension,  I ask  you,  Beloved
Ones;  please  do not look  upon  this  idly.  Do not think  it is
just someone's  imagination.  It is a Reality,  and  remember,
those  who  accept  Our  Assistance  and  do enter  into  the
Ascension,  will  never  in eternity  return  to this dense  sphere
of Earth!  They  will  function  forever  in their  Purified,  Per-
fected  Bodies,  as We are doing  today!
Think  of it! This  is not said  to make  you  feel bad;  but to
make  you  feel charged,  with  the Current  of Energy  which
is contained  in My  Words!  Some  of you  were  with  Me at
the time  so long  ago,  when  I went  forward  and  you  chose  to
give your  attention  to the things  of the world.  Now,  once
again,  We  meet  to go forward  together!
The Greatest,  Mightiest  of all the Power  of Understand-
ing, is this  one  point!  Think,  thru  so many  hundreds  of
centuries,  you  have  played  with  the  things  of the  outer
world!  In My choice  to go forward,  in the Perfection  which
was Ours  then,  I have  gone  on into  This  Great  Glorious
Dominion  and  Authority  over  Life!  It makes  it possible  for
Me to now  give  you  Our  Assistance  today.  Please  see what
Almighty  Progress  has  been  made,  since  those  Children
came  to Chananda's  Home  in India  with  your  Messenger.
Think  of it!
There  were  a few who  received  That  Great  Blessing.  To-390 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
day, thousands  and  thousands  within  your  America,  are
being  prepared  for a similar  thing.  Do you  not see what
your  Calls  and  what  Saint  Germain  has meant  to the world,
in bringing  forth  This  Understanding  of Life,  which  has
made  all of this  possible?  Do you  think  for one  minute,
if you  had not made  the earnest  sincere  Call  to the Presence
df Life,  your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence"  and  to Us,  these
Things  could  have  been  done ? It would  have  been  impos-
sible,  because  you  would  not  have  made  the  necessary

 building guns, tanks, and airplanes. Without great physical endurance, good eyes,
nerves, and brains, the tanks, guns, and airplanes are of no use. The world struggle for
power will undoubtedly go to the group which possesses the highest degree of nutrition. This has been demonstrated plainly in the history of England. It is being demonstrated
at the present time in the world war now going on.
   The ordinary person who has believed th at savages were always well-nourished also
had another delusion and that is that our primeval ancestors were marvels of physical
perfection owing to their having a proper and right diet. This idea is also a fallacy.
Those of our primeval ancestors who did attain great physical and mental prowess were
those who were accidentally well fed. The great masses, for economic or other reasons, were not well fed, the main reason for this being that they did not know what constitutes
a good diet. They, like the animals of the fields, were entirely creatures of their own
capricious appetites. They liked sweets, and were therefore eager to get sweets. They
liked the effects of alcohol; therefore they ove rindulged in alcoholic drinks. Those of us
who have come down to the present time should be thankful that we have come through times of stress and strain and starvation  and bad dietary surroundings, but we should also realize that we have not come through in the optimum manner. The bad diets of
former generations have left their imprint on the nervous systems, brains, bones, and other bodily structures.
   There is, therefore, a hereditary stigmata which must be corrected in the future by
several generations of proper and right di et. A perfect race is not going to be
manufactured all at once, even though the best scientific diets are at once adopted by all
civilized countries. The change that might be brought about by the adoption of scientific
diet would be a very spectacular and decided change. Somewhere from 70 to 80 per cent
of the disease that now afflicts the human animal would be eliminated. The average age
of the average human being could be extended from somewhere around sixty to well over one hundred years. No one has yet known what the upper age limit could be under
optimum conditions; but from work with animals, in which it has been demonstrated
that the life period may be doubled, we have reason for believing that this might also be
achieved in connection with human existence.
   At no time in the history of the human race has there been any nation or any group
that existed on optimum diets. At no time in the history of the human race up to the
present time has it been known what constitutes a normal, scientific dietary intake. In no
period or time in history have we understood the physiology or dietary action of even one mineral such as iron, iodine, or calcium. Since vitamins are a recent discovery, of course nothing has been known in a scientific way about them. As has been shown here, even the persons who have devoted a good deal of time to nutritional affairs have not
had any proper conception of the nutrition of the population as a whole. Individual
workers and individual universities have concentrated on individual parts of the
problem.
   Williams and Spies have concentrated on vitamin B
1; McCollum and Johns Hopkins
on vitamin A; Steenbock has focused on vitamin D; Sure, Bishop and Evans have given
much of their attention to vitamin E; Sherman has devoted his attention to vitamin G; Hanke, of Chicago University, worked with great enthusiasm on vitamin C; Plummer
did a good deal of work on iodine. Dr. Alice Bernheim worked long and patiently on
calcium. Various workers too numerous to mention have worked on iron. In no case has
a right and proper correlation of all this work been achieved, not even in any branch of the government where such correlation should take place.
   The only possible correlation of all this new knowledge of nutrition is in the hands of
the man who is engaged in the clinical practice of medicine. The data emanating from the laboratory worker who has no clinical experience are not only likely to be wrong,
but are almost sure to be wrong. An example of this is a new book by an author who is a
Ph. D. but not an M. D. He gives some interesting information in regard to vitamins, but the book is guilty of many omissions; makes wrong statements in regard to the relation
between proper nutrition and heart disease, and in the relation between proper nutrition
and catching cold. This is an example of a scientist venturing beyond his proper field.
   At the present time some men engaged in the clinical practice of medicine are still
using single synthetic vitamins in the treatment of disease. The synthetics have
potentialities for danger. Since the nature of our dietary sins makes single vitamin
deficiencies impossible, there is never any indication for prescribing any one synthetic vitamin alone. There is never an indication for prescribing thiamin or niacin-amide or
pyridoxine or pantothenic acid by itself. If the natural sources of these elements are used instead of the synthetics, it would be impossible to prescribe them alone, as they do not
exist alone in nature.
   There is no question but that in a well-nourished body the vitamins and minerals exist
in a certain optimum balance. For instance, a body may be well nourished in every other
respect, but the person may be thrown into a condition of water-logged overweight by taking too much common salt. The taking of salt in excess of the body needs permits too
much sodium in relation to potassium and calcium. This allows the body to become
permeated by water. In such a case the excretion of water is not properly balanced with
intake, and serious disease results. In clinical work, it is not uncommon to see these
water-logged overweight women whose chief dietary sin is too great an intake of
sodium chloride (common salt).
   The number of persons who may be benefited by the so-called no-salt diet is
enormous. The same beneficial results may be brought about by giving these persons a
salt mixture instead of plain salt, the mixture containing the same relative proportions of
mixed alkaline salts as Ringer's solution. This salt compound, while it contains 70 per cent sodium chloride, also contains calcium, potassium, and magnesium, so that it can
be taken without the mineral balance being disturbed.
   The pathological condition known as acidosis is due to a reduced alkalinity in the
body. The opposite condition--alkalosis--is not at all uncommon, and is due to too much
alkalinity in the blood, or a preponderance of some particular alkali such as sodium,
calcium, or potassium. In persons eating natu ral foods, these disturbances of mineral
balance never occur. A diet composed of meat, milk, eggs, cheese, whole wheat, honey, and sea food will never produce either alkalosis or acidosis. It is only by the taking of
artificial factory-made foods that these conditions are brought about.
   Since the preponderance of any one mineral puts the mineral supply out of balance
and disturbs metabolism, it is undoubtedly true that this same sort of a diseased
condition may be brought about by an out-of-balance preponderance of any one
vitamin. Physicians who have prescribed extra large doses of thiamin have noticed
muscular weakness and nervousness afterwar ds. The author was one of the first to
notice that toxic conditions and disturbance of rhythm of the heart may result from
administering vitamins A and D together and alone in too large a dosage. It was found
that large dosage of A and D could be continued in the same patients with complete
freedom from the same symptoms previously experienced if the vitamin B complex
were given also in a large dose along with A and D. Dr. Agnes Fay Morgan of California University has shown that symptoms of pellagra may occur when large doses
of thiamin are given. This is because the B
2 complex is put out of proper relation to the
amount of B 1. A relative B 2 deficiency (pellagra) is produced.
   In the use of ordinary cod-liver oil, excessive dosages are not common, owing to the
bulk of the dose necessary to produce results. However, since the advent of concentrates, there has been a tendency to over-dosage. This over-dosage when not
accompanied by the vitamin B complex undoubtedly produces some bad effects.
   To illustrate the increase in the understanding of basic facts in connection with the
problem and the failure in the application of the new facts to the fullest extent in human
nutrition we cite from a recent book which is supposed to be a digest of the new facts on
nutrition.    In "Vitamin Therapy in General Practice," by Gordon and Severinghaus, on page 52,
the statement is made that beriberi is not a thiamin deficiency, but that there exists also
a lack of other factors. (True: but does not go far enough.)
   On page 54 it is stated that heart pain, rapid heart, and difficulty in breathing are very
often cured by the use of vitamin B, if the disease has not gone on to an organic change. Since the term "vitamin B" is used, we may suppose that the author means the whole
vitamin B complex. The description fits that of a beriberi heart and should be treated with B plus other vitamins.
   On page 55 the statement is made that peripheral neuritis is caused by lack of vitamin
B. The author has found that these cases are more permanently benefited by


 highe r self. The
new person has established a new balance in the inner system. The
intellect must not be left out; it is an instrument that must serve,
become unied with the greater consciousness. For many ages
people believed that the intellectual faculties were the highest form
of development, and some still believe this now. So they make no
attempt to journey further and deeper into their inner nature to nd
greater treasures. On the other hand, there are many spiritual
movements that practice discarding and inactivating the mind
altogether. This is equally undesirable because it creates splits
rather than unication.
The Function of the Intellect in the New Person
Both these extremes are half-truths, though they can have relative
validity. For example, in the past, people were like beasts,
undisciplined and irresponsible as far as their immediate desires
were concerned. They were totally driven by emotions and desires,
regardless of ethics and mora lity. So for that stage the development
of the intellect fullled its function. And the intellect also fullled
its function as a very sharp tool of learning, of discrimin ating. But
when it ends there it becom es futile. People become pitiful when
they cannot become animate d by their divinity. By the same token,
the practice of leaving the mind temporarily inactive is advisable,
and I recomme nd it myself. But to treat the mind as if it were the
devil and to oust it from your life is missing the point.
In either extreme, people lack something; they need all their
functions in working order to express their divinity. Without a mind,
you become a passive amoeba; when the mind is deemed the
highest faculty, you become  a hyperactive robot. The mind then
becomes a computerized machine. True aliveness exists only when
you wed the mind with the spirit and allow the mind to express the
feminine principle for a while. Until now the mind has been very
much linked with the masculine principle: action, drive, control.Now the mind has to expre ss the feminine principle: receptivity.
This does not mean that you will become passive. In a sense, you
will be more active, more truly independent than you were before.
For when the mind receives inspirations from the God-
consciousness, they must be put into action. But this putting into
action is harmonious, eortle ss, not like a cramp. When your mind
is receptive, it can be lled with the higher spirit within you. Then
the functioning becomes totally dierent, forever new and exciting.
Nothing becomes routinized, nothing becomes stale, nothing
becomes redun dant. For the spirit is forever alive and changing.
This is the energy and experience you have increasing ly in your
community, where the new inux is working so strongly.
The new person makes all decisions from this new consc iousness
after working his or her way through to becoming truly receptive to
the spiritual being within. The results would sound utopian for
someone who has not begun  to experience this. I am happy to say
that quite a number of you are already part of this strong cosmic
movement for which you have made yourself available. You
experience hitherto undreamed-of expansion and joy, resolutions of
problems that you never thought possible. And it continues. There
are no limitations to your fulllment, to the peace, to the
productivity, to the creativity of living, to joy, love, and happiness,
and to the meaning your life has acquired as you serve a greater
cause.
Entering the New, Greater Life
The time has passed for each individual to live only for a selsh,
immediate little life. This can no longer continue. Those who insist
on this way lock themselves out from a power that would turn
destructive in a mind that is still geared to selshness. For that
selshness comes from the false belief that you are happy only when
you are selsh, and unhapp y when you are unselsh. That false
belief is one of the rst myths you need to explore and challenge.You are creating a new life for yourself and your environment, of
a kind that humanity has not yet known. You are preparing for it,
others are preparing for it, here and there, all over the world,
quietly. These are golden nuclei that spring up out of the gray, dark
matter of untruthful thinking  and living. So further that channel in
you. It will bring you the excitement and the peace you always
wanted. Enter this new phase, my dearest friends, with courage and
armation. Rise up and become who you truly are, and experience
life at its best.
All of you are blessed, my very dearest ones. The blessings will
give you the sustenance you need to go all the way with all of
yourself and become enlivened, activated, actualized by the God
within. Be in peace.

OceanofPDF.comBackground: The Guide, Eva, and the
Pathwork Foundation
The Guide never identied himself by name. He maintained that
his identity was not important, that no matter what he said, we
would not be able to verify that identity anyway. All that we should
be concerned with were his teachings. Even those we should not
believe merely because they come from a spirit entity. We should
consult our hearts, and only if we nd an echo inside that arms
their truth should we accept his words.
Eva Pierrakos was born in Vienna in 1915, daughter of the well-
known novelist Jakob Wassermann. She grew up among the
intellectual elite of Vienna; her rst husband was the son of another
famous writer, Hermann Broch. A bright, outgoing young woman,
Eva loved to dance and ski; she later became a dance instructor. The
last thing she would have imagined was to be chosen to serve as an
instrument for spiritual communication.
Eva managed to leave Austria before the Nazi takeover. She
received a United States visa and moved to New York. It was,
however, in Switzerland, where she lived for a while, that her
psychic talent began rst to manifest in the form of automatic
writing. By meditating for long hours, changing her diet, and
making the commitment to use her gift only for helping people—
even taking the risk of losing her friends, who thought she was
losing her wits—she eventually succeeded in becoming a pure
channel so that a spirit entity of high wisdom like the Guide was
able to manifest through her and oer us the gift of his teachings.
When Eva moved back to the United States, a small group  formed
around her. She gave indiv idual “Guide sessions,” and twice amonth a lecture or a question-and-answer session.
She was a dark-haired, small woman with luminous dark eyes and
a dancer’s body. Usually sun-tanned, she was very healthy-looking,
and had a wonderful capacity for enjoying herself. When John
Pierrakos, a psychiatrist working in the Reiehian tradition, and co-
founder of bioenergetics, met her, both his work and Eva’s became
enriched. Their marriage, in addition to bringing personal
happiness, helped John to transform his practice of bioenergetics
into core energetics by incorporating into it the Guide’s teachings.
In turn, the introduction of the energetic element into the practice
of the Pathwork process contributed to its eectiveness.
More and more people were drawn to the teachings of the Guide,
and a home for the Pathwork was found in one of the secluded
valleys in the Catskills, where deep transformation work can be
done in the beauty and stillness of nature. In 1972, the Pathwork
was incorporated as a not-for-prot educational foundation.
Eva died in 1979, leaving  us a


 can in the hopes that I see the last worm come out.  Now is really the time where patience is so very necessary.  As long as I focus on one day at a time, I know I will achieve my goal.  When I look at the scheme of life, 29 days is not that long, and certainly this fast is an investment in my health and well-being for the rest of my life.   Personal Story - 40-Day Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!82My neighbor did not get any worms out today, and for the ﬁrst time, she is starting to feel frustration.  We discussed this at length today, and really focused on the importance of trust during this process of natural healing.  We have to believe that the body chooses the pace that is safe for us, and even though our minds may want faster results, we have to accept what the body decides.  It’s so important to step back, and just give the body the space and conditions it needs.  This evening I deﬁnitely had less gurgling and cramping in the gut, which gave me some element of hope.  When the gurgling gets quite bad, it can be maddening at times, so it was a real pleasure to enjoy a ‘quiet’ evening.  Tomorrow will be a big milestone day for me - day 30.  One entire month of only water.  Who would have ever thought that I could do it!  I’m pretty excited about it.  At this point, I am mentally preparing myself for 35 days, which will be exactly 5 weeks of fasting.  But again, one day at a time.  Just focus on each day as it comes.As for my anti-worm measures, I took one glass of garlic-infused water, one cup of ground clove tea, 2 capsules of grapefruit seed extract opened and mixed into water and 2 probiotics, spread out over the course of the day.  The worms do not have a chance in this pure and perfect temple!Day 30The big 3-0.  What a milestone of a day.  I seriously cannot believe that I have managed to do this for 30 days.  It’s such a huge accomplishment, and certainly something that most people never have a chance to experience in their entire lives.  It’s a shame that the masses are Personal Story - 40-Day Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!83brainwashed into a ‘pill for every ill’ mentality.  If people only realized how powerful a water fast can be for deep natural healing, what a different world it would be!I did not have any worms today.  Somehow I was ok with this and didn’t have any feeling of disappointment.  I’m trying to accept ‘letting go’ of my expectations and just allowing the body to do what it needs to do.  Today was not as hot as yesterday, still hot but not sweltering.  I welcomed the bit of relief.  My energy levels have gone up and down all day. One minute high; next minute exhausted.  My neighbor has been going through the same, and we are deﬁnitely convinced that it’s from the heat.  Rest is important now more than ever.At 30 days, I am happy to know that no matter what, I am nearing the end of this fast. Whether I continue another 3, 5 or 10 days is still a big unknown, but I know that I can’t continue safely for more than 40 days.  In a way, this is a nice feeling. At least I know that I have done the best that I can.  If I still have more worms, well I just have to accept that I got out as many as I could and go straight into a natural de-worm and parasite program upon eating.My ‘gut’ has been quiet again this evening - no gurgling and no cramping. Again, this brings me a feeling of relief that perhaps all the vileness is out of my colon.  I do still have issues with my left ear and twitching, and my feeling there is that I still have at least one worm in the brain.  How does one kill worms in the brain?  It’s a big mystery to me, and I am learning as I go in this process.  I’m guessing that they feed off of Personal Story - 40-Day Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!84sugar in the blood, so surely even in the brain, they would be starving from this fast.  But at 30 days, how much longer can they survive?  Somewhere in the second week of the fast, I had the feeling that I did not want to use my natural ﬂuoride-free toothpaste anymore.  I just didn’t want to take anything at all that may enter my body and be considered a ‘food.’ So I started adding one drop of pure peppermint oil to my toothbrush and I’ve been brushing my teeth with that.  It’s great!  Even better, while doing some research today, I found information that peppermint oil is very good for killing worms and parasites.14  For sure, I would recommend this to anyone thinking of doing a water fast!Day 31Yes, patience is the lesson I am living this week.  There were no worms again today, so that’s 3 days with no worms and once again, I am starting to feel hopeful.  I also noticed that I did not have any gurgling in my gut at all today, although I do feel some slight cramping, especially after having clove tea or black/walnut/wormwood/clove.  I would say that’s probably normal and I’m more happy to not feel the gurgling than anything else.Another hot day today made for a weak and tired water faster.  My neighbor also felt the same again...we are just both wiped out.  Feeling light-headed a lot and just exhausted during the day.  Without air-conditioning, these hot days can be torturous.  Personal Story - 40-Day Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!8514 http://www.innvista.com/health/microbes/parasite/treatpar.htmStill, I’m getting a lot accomplished.  Every day I spend some time reading, working on my website, taking care of emails and client requests and staying very focused and motivated.  In fact, I feel that my mind is clearer than ever.  I can see now why all the great philosophers required their students to fast for 40 days before studying under them!I’m also doing a big cleaning purge of my house, which feels so good while doing a cleanse!  Every day I ﬁll one small bag full of rubbish, just going through old ﬁles and drawers and ﬁnding so many things that I don’t need.  I’m giving away whatever items I no longer want that are still good.  I’m clearing off my walls and going ‘zen’ as I say - trying to simplify my decor as much as possible. I’m also clearing out my cupboards and moving any food and spices that are in plastic containers into glass jars.  Every day I do just a bit more, and over the last few weeks, it’s really made a difference!  It’s an internal and external cleanse, and I’m loving it!As for my other symptoms, I do feel some detoxing happening still.  Today I felt a headache in the left side of my head and had a lot of pain in my left ear.  I was sure a worm was going to come out!  I had to lie down and rest for about 2 hours, and after that I felt ﬁne.  This is the main reason why I continue, because I feel there is still some unﬁnished business there.  As I said in the beginning, patience is the thing I need the most now. I’ve come so far that I don’t want to lose sight of potentially clearing everything.  My neighbor is on Day 16 and she released another ‘handful’ of worms today.  We are just in shock over how completely riddled we both were with worms!  She has also done the colon cleansing many times and never saw one single worm released.  Personal Story - 40-Day Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!86If people only realized that they too might have the same problem, and if they only knew how easy it is to solve it, I can only just imagine how many of them could experience a profound improvement in their health.Day 32I’m starting to forget what life was like without this water fast.  At this stage, I’m so into my daily routine that it will actually take some adjustment to get back into the eating world again!  Not that I will mind, believe me...I am so looking forward to eating yummy salads and fruits again, but this time in a healthy, clean, balanced body.  No worms again today, that makes 4 days straight without any worms released.  Surely there is a tiny spark of light at the end of the tunnel now.  My neighbor is using my experience as a gauge for what she might expect, and she is also very happy that perhaps ﬁnally, there may be an end to the worms for me.  I have also had no gurgling and no cramping in my gut today.The fatigue, however, has been intense.  It was another hot day today and that seems to just ﬂoor me.  I feel also that my body is doing other cleansing now that all those worms are gone...it’s a typical cycle with cleansing.  As the body


., lecturer at Polytechnic School, Bulsar, and residing at Dhimar Housing Society at Bilmora, had pioderma for the last eight years. He used to have boils all over his body and they were sometimes full of pus. He was not cured by doctors or even hospitals. He started Urine Therapy in August 1967, and continued it for two months. He used to drink two ounces of urine twice a day. He massaged his whole body for half an hour, twice a day for two months. He used to put urine-soaked pads on the boils. He had fasted for eight days in the beginning. He was completely cured.”  from Urine Therapy, by Dr. John O'Quinn  BOIL  “A resident of Sabarmati had a fourteen year old son, named Bharat. Some hard boils appeared on both sides of his throat, causing risk of his life. “On the first day, Bharat very reluctantly took some of his own urine in a single draught, but vomited at once, from nausea, and some urine expelled. However, he felt less pain on that day. The next day, he took urine in great quantity. There was no vomiting and he had more relief. Consequently, he became hopeful of a cure. On the third day, he took six to ten ounces of urine without any hesitation. Within three days of 24 Urine Treatment, he was completely relieved of pain. However, he continued the treatment for four to six days more and on the sixth day, the hard boils on both sides of his throat had disappeared. This successful end made both the father and son confirmed believers of Urine Therapy.”  from Urine Therapy, by Dr. John F. O'Quinn  BONE FRACTURE  “Despite foreboding on October 19, 1974 he travelled on a motorcycle with his friend and at 8 P.M. met with an accident as they were knocked down by a car that followed. The bones two inches above the ankle were fractured and his right elbow also got injured. He was at once removed to Chandigarh hospital. He right leg was placed in plaster after operation. For ten days he was in the hospital. In the same place two elbows injury was healed with application of auto-urine within one week.  When after 98 days the plaster was removed there were sores on the leg and it was swollen and immobile. At the suggestion of his guru Shri Jagdish Mishra he started massaging the leg with three-month-old urine for twenty minutes daily. Within six weeks he had 75 % recovery - wounds were healed subsided, leg became flexible and within further two weeks the leg was freely movable. It was further cleaned and on guru's advice he began drinking urine from February 1975. This gave his body activeness and his movement speed. He can move about the house with crutches.  He writes in his letter of 17-6-1975. ‘I have now stopped going in a rickshaw to my Bank. I take a city bus to work and on return I walk home. My movements also are faster now and the swelling too has considerably reduced.’  from Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  BONE FRACTURE  “On January 26, 1956 in a car accident both my leg-bones were fractured. There was a compound fracture about an inch below the right knee. The left also had similar but simple one. Both the legs from thighs to soles were in plaster.  After five weeks, plaster was removed, both the legs were found to be utterly, immobile. They could not be folded even at a slight angle. The knees pained with the slightest attempt at movement. Doctors opined that the fractures being at the knees it was 25 difficult to get the legs moving. Left leg could as best move a little beyond 90°, and the right could be even less mobile.  Several visitors would come to inquire after my health and would suggest remedies. Many were adopted; two of which were prominent. First, to give steambath to both the legs in the morning and in the evening. The other, suggested by a well-wishing high official, was to have auto-urine treatment. He assured with emphasis that with urine massage both of my legs would be fully mobile.  I, therefore, started massaging with urine (kept overnight) for fifteen minutes daily in the morning; and after about is minutes I would bathe. As I was frightened with doctor's opinion I followed the treatment with firm faith. Had any defect remained in the legs. I would have been invalid to do my daily chores. But I am pleased to report that after 21 days of urine massage the legs could move freely. I can sit with folded legs and my heel can touch my thighs. Even doctors were much surprised to are my recovery. I wish others also are benefited with my experience."  from Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  BONE FRACTURE  “Pinky of 19 years, stays in Jammu. Her bones were so weak even in childhood that she would collapse on walking even a short distance. Bones of her arms, hips and legs had been fractured. She could with only on all fours. Her body had become very heavy. All current remedies proved useless.  The local urine therapist Shrimati Kala Jain put her on a nine-day urine fast. For two-three weeks Shrimati Jain herself gave. her daily urine massage for an hour and a half. She took urine five of six times daily. She eschewed whatever was shunned by urine therapy. Mostly she took vegetables and fruits. She was cured beyond expectations within three months. Her heaviness was reduced. Her fingers could move freely in and out. Now she can walk about without any support. She can even work with her hands, She has continued her practice of the invaluable remedy shivambu, i.e auto-urine therapy.”  from Manav Mootra by R. M.

In the course of a few hours, she became progressively lethargic and then suddenly she became unresponsive...Her pupils became dilated and fixed, her systolic blood pressure rose...Preparations were underway to take her to the operating room for the removal of a bone flap. “‘Urea was administered intravenously as an emergency measure. Within 20 minutes from the start of injection her blood pressure had returned to normal and her pupils began to react...to light. From this time on, her recovery was uneventful… “‘In this case, urea was definitely life-saving, because prior to its administration the patient was in critical condition and her survival until surgical decompression could be done was unlikely… “‘In many similar instances urea was found to be life-saving.'

BRONCHIAL ASTHMA  “A case of bronchial asthma improved in a four days' fast on urine, when a three weeks' fast at a well-known Nature Care Home had utterly failed. After every drink of urine a wad of mucus was discharged. The last day of the fast produced such a clot of mucus that the patient went out and tested  his breathing by walking up a hill. Experiencing no difficulty, he immediately returned to work.”  BRONCHIAL ASTHMA  “Mr.  E.E. age 37. Discharged for the Navy for bronchial asthma, from which he had suffered since the age of 14.  The sea life seemed to make the trouble worse. He was 27 disturbed each night at least four times in order to use a medical spray and dared not go to the movies without it for preventing loud coughing.  Within three months, during which he drank urme up to three or four pints a day, and two short fasts of 36 to 40 hours each on urine alone he became so much relieved that he never thinks of taking his spray to the movies, nor does he wake up at night to use it. All fear of his trouble has left him, and his general health is vastly Improved.”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn  BRONCHIAL ASTHMA  Octavio Moses F. Nuñez: "I'm 16 years old. I've been sick with bronchial asthma for 12 years. I went to many doctors, including in the town of Aguas Calientes. Whenever I went out without a coat or sweater, I came back sick. I could not go anywhere, and in each time it happened, I would be sick in the hospital for 1 to 2 weeks. One day, they brought me a naturopath. Were it not for my urine I would be in the hospital right now, because it's spring and the pollen of flowers affects me. I give thanks to God for Urotherapy."

 as this.
Life (and every condition and circumstance and relations hip in life) is functional until its
stability is threatened. In that case, it is adaptable. Thus, it renders itself sustainable by
changing form.
This is what is occurring at the moment of a loved one’s death —and at the moment of
the death of anything.. . a relationship, a job, a way of life, anything at all. Nothing changes
except for the better.
Right now you may be scoffing at this. Yet I’m going to go back to this: I’m willing to bet
that if you assessed things very honestly you would agree that some  of the worst things
that ever happened to you were actually some of the best things that ever happened to you.
A Master sees this truth in all things. I am not a Master, nor anything close to it. Yet I can
see that in my own life this has been true. You a lready know that fifteen years ago I had an
automobile accident in which I broke my neck, which sent me into nearly two years of
rehab, which required me to stop work, which caused me to lose my income, which
eventually reduced me to living in a tent for a n entire year, panhandling on street corners
and struggling in all sorts of weather just to stay fed, warm, and dry.
Worst thing that could ever happen to a person, right? The great human nightmare, yes?
Well... yes and no. At first, it was terrifying. I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I
would become A Street Person. And once I was out there, living in that tent, I couldn’t
imagine how I was ever going to get back into a real house again.
Yet now, as I look back on it, I see that this was one of  the greatest things that ever
happened to me. It taught me lessons about life that I can’t imagine I could have learned
any other way. It brought me to a place of the greatest understanding of my own inner
resources. It took me to a higher level of compas sion and a deeper caring for every member
of the human race. And it opened me to an awareness of God and the meaning of life that
changed everything I thought I understood, carrying me to a new place of experiencing
each moment as an unspeakable gift.  Okay, now you might say that this is a lucky case of “all’s well that ends well,” but I have
learned that everything  ends well if I let go and let God; if I simply allow whatever change is
occurring in my life to occur without opposition.
This doesn’t mean Do Nothing, but this does mean Do Not Resist.
What you resist persists. What you look at disappears. That is, it ceases to have its
illusory form. Non -resistance delivers us from what is Imagined and awakens us to what is
Apparent, finally showing us the Actu al Truth. It is about “... delivering us from evil....”
Suddenly, options are open to us that seemed utterly blocked just moments before.
Everything changes with a change in point of view.
That is the true power behind Change  #7.
When you understand that all change happens in order to sustain harmony in the
universe... when you believe  that, even though it seems unbelievable... when you are
certain that life was meant to be happy... and when you know that all stories can have
wonderful endings if you do not block them with bitterness, anger, resentment, frustration,
or non -belief in even the possibility  of a wonderful ending (for most, the biggest block of all)
... then  you can change your thought about what is occur ring —and thus, change your idea
of what will occur.
Has your life not shown you that everything works out for your highest evolutionary
purpose? Of course it has. The proof of this is that you’re still here.
“Yes,” you might say, “but look what I had to do  to get here!” Agreed. It wasn’t an easy
road. Yet that is because you did not have the tools that you have now. And yet, even
without these tools, you came through it all.
So... what makes you think it will be any different tomorrow?
We see, then, that  the issue is not whether  you’re going to survive, but how. Will you be
happy, or will you be sad? Will you be excited again about life, or will you be discouraged,
disgruntled, and disappointed? Will you be a blessing to all whose lives you touch, or will
you be a burden to everyone around you?
The way you hold the present experience is the way you create the next. And that  is why
changing your perspective about future change is so powerful.
The trick for you now is to transform this insight  into fores ight. The trick is to know this
about your tomorrow, today. The trick is to be very clear that life is on your side.
This does not mean that everything always turns out the way you want it to. What it
does mean is that sometimes what you want is not what i s best for you.
What??? Can that be true?  Is it possible to want something that is not even in one’s own
best interest? Of course it is. People do it all the time. That’s because they do not always
recognize  what’s in their own best interest. And that  is because they do not know who they
really are, where they are, what they are really doing here on this earth, and what the
purpose of all of this is, anyway.
So answer those Four Fundamental Questions for yourself, then change your idea about
future change. Drop the thought that you cannot affect the future. Tell yourself that the
future is not coming TO you, it is coming THROUGH you.  The change that is coming to you in the future is that change that you place  in your
future with the thoughts, words, and acti ons of today. These are the three Tools of Creation,
and if you would like more buttressing around this idea and an even deeper explanation of
how you are the creator of your own reality, pick up a copy of Conversations with God, Book
1 and give yourself t he treat of one of the most inspirational and life -changing texts you will
ever read.
If you have read it before, read it again. If you have never read it, do so now. Then see
what you think. And take what resonates with you into your life as part of your own living
truth.
Yes, yes, yes...  change your idea about the changes to come, even as you change your
idea about the changes that have passed. Then you can change your experience of both.
What is it that you were given?
I mean from the loss.
After, wha t was taken.
That very thing you could never
live without.
The person or place;
the secret, or circumstance —
now that it is gone,
or has been found out,
and you can no longer call it foundation,
what is it that you were given?
You know, and I know, this:
there is a hollowing out.
Something comes and opens you up
right
down
the
middle
and from that moment on
you are no longer immune to this world.
You wake, you wander,
every familiar, now a foreign.
You walk as through water
until you make it back to  your bed
and finally, even there — your sheets; your own pillow’s scent different,
as if daily someone repaints your room, displaces something,
disturbs a cherished memento.

You see,
sometimes we are emptied.

THE EIGHTH CHANGE
NOW LOOK, WE’RE GETTING  to the end of our visit here and I want you to know that I
understand the impact of what has happened to you in this time of chang e. Whether you’ve
lost a job or lost a house or lost a relationship or lost your health or lost a loved one
through death... whatever has changed, I understand how that has affected you. I am
willing to join you in moving through that, as are the other spiritual life coaches who are
reachable through www.ChangingChange.net.
Whether you use the support available to you in many forms there, or find assistance
from other sources, I would advise you not to sid estep what you are going through right
now. I would not want you to act as if it didn’t happen, or pretend it doesn’t matter that it
did.
I want you to neither hide from it nor minimize it, but look at it squarely, and allow
yourself whatever truth, emotio n, and experience comes up for you around that —because I
know that what you resist persists.
Then I invite you to add to your processing of all this by using some of the tools I have
given you here. I invite you to look at the Apparent Truth and not just t he Imagined Truth. I
invite you to consider the possibility that your soul (and the soul of everyone else involved)
knows exactly what it is doing,


 detoxing to remove this debris from your body.
Many cancer victims have only a small malignant tumor mass and experience only
mild discomfort. Others have very large malignant tumor masses like Steve
McQueen's. If your physician can surgically de-bulk or remove most of these masses,
you often do not become toxic, and your recovery time speeds up.
D O  N O T  THINK YOU ARE CANCER FREE!
Reactions while on the Kelley Program
On occasion, we have found that an area of a malignant tumor mass becomes
tender and swells. This could be a very good sign. As one's body cleans up the
various debris and digested cells it is like hitting your finger with a hammer and
tenderness, pain and swelling occur. It can be very frightening to those who
experience a tingling or "electrical shock" sensation. This is usually caused by
pressure on nerves from malignant tumor growth. But often, it also occurs when the
swelling from clean-up is taking place within the body. Therefore, it could be a good
or bad sign, but one should consider the good possibility of clean-up activity.
Once or twice after some months on our Metabolic Program, a family member has
called me and said "your program didn't work" Bob/Mary died. When questioned,
the individual had not been on the program for the last four to six months. Another
time a call came in saying the individual had died, only to find out she was killed
instantly in a head-on auto accident. Others have died from gunshot wounds while
dear hunting, others from heart attacks. Of course this is not a "Metabolic failure."
Ascites, Cachexia, Fluid Cysts and Diarrhea
Ascites is a collection of fluid in the abdomen, chest, or legs. If the patient with
Ascites has been diagnosed with cancer, the physician calls hospice and writes
multiple refill prescriptions of strong narcotics.
Cachexia in cancer usually implies terminal illness where the body cannibalizes
itself. The liver converts the body protein tissues into glucose which metabolically
supports the cancer (placenta) until death occurs.
51
Winning The Cancer War
Fluid Cysts is a fluid collection in epithelia sacks containing proteins, electrolytes,
minerals, etc.
Diarrhea - in cancer. When standard treatment fails I  have found that the patient's
body uses diarrhea to remove years of toxic substances so that repair and rebuilding
can take place.
Ascites Update
I  would like to bring to your attention some terminal conditions. Cindy is a cute
little ol' heifer from Florida and a flight attendant with a major airline. Unfortunately,
flying on an airplane on a regular basis has its hazards and she was exposed to all
sorts of toxins and germs, which fill the body to the brim with stressful toxins.
Cindy's big problem was playing with two boys; her fiancee Ken, and St. Peter.
When she was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in April 2001, she immediately
incorporated my program into her life, bypassing "traditional" methods of cancer
therapy such as chemotherapy and invasive surgery.
About a year into my program, Cindy's doctor told her she had "Ascites"; a
cancerous fluid that floats freely in the body, or, forms into encapsulated cysts. She
and Ken looked-up Ascites on the Internet and were horrified to find that there was
almost nothing on the subject. They then designed a website about Ascites and their
experiences, www.asciteshelp.com. It is one of the most outstanding sites on the net
and Cindy and Ken's trials and tribulations give hope to thousands.
Although it is against the law for me to disagree with her doctor, I  do not think
Cindy had Ascites. As the medical community has been beguiled, this is the way I  see
this potentially terminal condition: It has been my experience (as in Cindy's case) that
these multiple fluid cysts are a result of taking my enzymes, and that the body's self
defense forms pockets of very toxic metabolic wastes. If these toxic wastes were not
captured in cysts they are usually fatal.
This was also the case with Dr. Pamela and the after effects of Chelation Therapy
that removed toxic metals from her body. In Dr. Pamela's case, a fluid cyst twice the
size of the kidney was formed to hold these toxic substances until they could be
safely removed from the body. Of course, the ignorant physician wanted to remove
the kidney. These fluid cysts are life saving back-up systems Yahweh, God Almighty,
has built into this most perfect instrument of all creation.
Cindy is a "Gate Rattler".  Even when she was in extensive pain, her desire was to
live and not rattle the front gates of heaven. Whenever she was pushed to her limit,
she would have visions of St. Peter, looking in his book telling her that she had not
52
Winning The Cancer War
been invited to visit heaven so soon.
In fall of 2003, about every ten days to two weeks while experiencing extensive
pain from Ascites fluid buildup, Cindy had many opportunities to rattle St. Peter's
pearly gates. He would go to the throne room and say to Yahweh, God Almighty,
"This cute little ol' Florida heifer might be coming to visit us!" God would say, "Send
her back - she has much more work to do."
This affair with St. Peter went back and forth over 40 times whenever Cindy had fluid
buildup. St. Peter was tired of hiking to the throne room so he would shout over to
God. "God, that cute little ol' heifer from Florida might try to visit us again." God
would shout back, "Tell her, not yet, go home and get to work!"
Cindy would have made it inside the pearly gates if it had not been for her
radiologist and doctor. Every time she would come in to see them when these fluid
cysts filled up, the radiologist would get out his big long needle and drain another
cyst. This procedure is called Paracentesis.
On September 1, 2003, the Oncologist report stated that the tests performed on the
Ascites fluid showed that the cancer cells were well differentiated, a very positive sign
considering cancer cells are very aggressive, and are typically fragmented and poorly
differentiated. Cindy was getting better!
Although in my opinion, Cindy did not have Ascites, it is no wonder the medical
profession called these fluid cysts Ascites. They filled-up to the point of causing near
death, then she would rattle Peter's pearly gates and have her little affair with him.
What I  am trying to say is, Yahweh, God Almighty, has a lot of back-up systems built
into his created masterpiece.
World War III
We have been plunged into World War III by our Common Enemy. The major
dilemma we are encountering is that you and I, do not recognize that we are in the
middle of World War III, let alone who is our enemy. No metabolic program will
keep you well and healthy when you are subject to being attack by biological warfare
agents via Chem-trails, vaccinations, drugs, contaminated food and "treated" water.

The Panc reatic  Study
The Medical Establishment has for many years
endeavored to discredit Dr. Kelley's most successful
Cancer Paradigm developed in 1963.
A Review of Dr. Kelley's
Pancreatic Cancer Patients
The Medical Establishment has for many years endeavored to discredit Dr. Kelley's
most successful Cancer Paradigm developed in 1963.
A medical journalist obtained authorization under the guidance and direction of
Dr. Robert A Good, Ph.D., M.D. president of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer
Center in New York City to review Dr. Kelley's records. The objective of the Medical
Establishment was to prove beyond a shadow of doubt, that Dr. Kelley was an
unorthodox quack. Dr. Kelley's objective was to prove beyond a shadow of doubt
that the Kelley Paradigm is the only scientific basis for the Cure of Cancer. Dr. Kelley
had some 33,000 well-documented medical records of his Cancer Patients. The
documentation was so overwhelming this Study continued for over 5 years.
Legally the definition for a Cancer Cure is, a patient must be free of Cancer five
years after initial diagnosis. The study was approached from two general parameters.
First parameter was for all types of Cancer. The results indicated a 93% Cure Rate,
after their physicians dismissed the patients, stating no further orthodox medical
therapy could be helpful for them. In other words, their disease processes had
exceeded the therapeutic limits of Orthodox Medicine and they could no longer be
helped. Thus the standard Orthodox Death Sentence - go home and die!
Dr. Kelley often states, "it is possible to Cure only 97% of Cancer Patients as in 3%
of those diagnosed with cancer, the Patient has a death wish, or more frequently the
next of kin (wife, husband, parents, children) have a Death Wish for the Cancer
Patient." The conditions for success of the 97% of those Cancer Patients are two in
nature. One, the patient must have at least 6 months of time to get well into the
Kelley Program and two, one must follow the protocol exactly and faithfully. After
the first six months, there is an excellent prognosis for recovery. The Cancer patient's
road to success is difficult and usually takes an additional 18 months of


. You’ll be telling yourself that you expect this
“contrariness,” that it’s all right for them to be the way they are, and
that it really has nothing to do with you. By going after disapproval,
rather than avoiding it, you’ll build up your repertoire of behavior
for dealing effectively with it.
• You can practice ignoring disapproval and not paying any atten-
tion to those who attempt to manipulate you with their denunciation.
A colleague of mine was giving a lecture to a large audience in Berlin
and a member of the audience was obviously seething at certain
comments. Finally, he could stand it no longer and he picked on a
minor point the speaker was making and rattled off all kinds of ab-
usive remarks in the form of questions. He was attempting to bait
the speaker and to seduce him into a neurotic interchange. My col-
league’s response to his tirade was a simple “O.K.,” and he went on
with his talk. By ignoring the abuse, he proved that he wasn’t going
to evaluate himself on the basis of what someone else felt. The
heckler, of course, stopped. Had the speaker not felt good about
himself, he might have made someone else’s disapproval more im-
portant than his own good opinion of himself, and thus been upset
when it was withheld.
• You can break the connecting chain between what others think,
say and do, and your own self-worth. Talk to yourself when you
encounter disapproval. “This is her stuff. I expect her to behave that
way. It has nothing to do with me.” This approach will eliminate
the self-hurt that you inflict when you connect someone else’s feeling
with your own thoughts.
• Ask yourself this important question when you acquire disap-
proval. If they agreed with me, would I be better off? The answer is
obviously no. Whatever they think can have no effect on you unless
you let it. Moreover, you’ll most likely find that you are better liked
by those important folks like a boss, or loved one when you can
disagree with them without worry.
• Accept the simple fact that many won’t ever understand you,
and that it is okay. Conversely, you won’t understand70 / Your Erroneous Zonesmany people who are very close to you. You don’t have to. It’s all
right for them to be different and the most fundamental understand-
ing you can have is that you don’t understand. Gustav Ischheiser
makes the point clearly in the following lines from Appearances and
Realities:
….If people who do not understand each other at least under-
stand that they do not understand each other, then they under-
stand each other better than when, not understanding each
other, they do not even understand that they do not understand
each other.
• You can refuse to argue or try to convince anyone of the right-
ness of your stance, and simply believe it.
• Trust yourself when buying clothes or other personal items
without first checking it out with someone whose opinion you value
more than your own.
• Stop verifying your facts by having them substantiated by a
spouse or someone else with sentences like, “Isn’t that right, honey?”
or “Didn’t we, Ralph?” or “Just ask Marie, she’ll tell you.”
• Correct yourself out loud whenever you’ve behaved in an ap-
proval-seeking way, thereby becoming aware of this tendency and
practicing new behaviors.
• Work at eliminating the numerous apologies that you make
even when you aren’t really sorry for what you’ve just said. All
apologies are pleas for forgiveness, and requests for forgiveness are
approval-seeking which takes the form of, “I know you wouldn’t
like me if I really meant what I just did, so please say that I’m still
okay.” Apologizing is a waste of time. If you need someone else to
forgive you before you can feel better, then you are giving them
control over your feelings. While you can resolve not to behave in
certain ways again, and see some of your behavior as unfortunate,
apologizing behavior is a sickness that invests control of one’s feel-
ings in another.
• In a conversation, you can clock the amount of time thatYOU DON’T NEED THEIR APPROVAL  / 71you speak and compare it with the amount spoken by your partner
and acquaintances. You can work at not being the one who speaks
infrequently and only when asked to participate.
• You can observe at your next get-together how many more times
you are interrupted, and whether you always condescend when you
speak simultaneously with another member of the group. Your ap-
proval-seeking may be taking the form of timidity. You can devise
strategies for speaking without being interrupted by labeling the
behavior as it crops up in your social milieu.
• Chronicle how many declarative versus interrogative sentences
you make. Do you ask questions, seek permission and approval, as
opposed to making a statement? For example, the question, “Nice
day, isn’t it?” puts the other person into the problem-solving role,
and you into the approval-seeking position. A simple, “Nice day”
is a declaration, rather than an attempt to seek an answer. If you are
always asking questions of others you are into approval-seeking in
what may seem a petty area, but which is reflective of your lack of
confidence in your own ability to take charge.
These are the beginning steps to eliminating approval-seeking as
a need in your life. While you are not striving to wipe out all approv-
al, you are working toward not being immobilized in any small way
because you don’t get the blandishments you covet. Applause is
pleasant and approval is a delightful experience. What you seek is
immunity from pain when you don’t get the cheers. Just as the dieter
does not test his mettle for losing weight on a full stomach, or the
individual who is quitting smoking doesn’t measure his resolve after
just putting out a cigarette, you won’t really test yourself in the ab-
sence of disapproval. You can vow until you’re orange in the face
that you can handle disfavor and that you are not going to demand
tribute from everyone, but until you are faced with the circumstances
of contention you won’t know how you are doing. If you can72 / Your Erroneous Zoneseliminate this troublesome erroneous zone from your life, the rest
will seem easy, because you have been conditioned to need approval
from your first breath on this earth. It will require a great deal of
practice, but it is worth every bit of effort you put into it. Immunity
from despair in the face of disapproval is the ticket to a lifetime of
delectable personal present-moment freedom.YOU DON’T NEED THEIR APPROVAL  / 73IV
BREAKING FREE FROM
THE PAST
Only a ghost wallows around in his past, explaining
himself with self-descriptors based on a life lived
through. You are what you choose today, not what
you’ve chosen before.
W ho are you? How do you describe yourself? To answer these
two questions, you will very likely have to refer to your own history,
to a past that has been lived through, but to which you are un-
doubtedly tied, and from which you find it difficult to escape. What
are your self-descriptors? Are they neat little labels that you have
accumulated over a lifetime? Do you have a drawer full of self-
definitions which you use on a regular basis? They may include tags
such as I’m nervous, I’m shy, I’m lazy, I’m not musical, I’m clumsy,
I’m forgetful, and a whole catalog of additional I’ms that you use.
You probably have many positive I’ms such as I’m loving, I’m good
at bridge, I’m sweet, as well. These will not be dealt with here since
the purpose of this chapter is to help you grow, rather than to ap-
plaud you for the areas of your life where you are operating effect-
ively.
Self-descriptors are not in themselves inappropriate, but they
74can be used in harmful ways. The very act of labeling might be a
specific deterrent to growth. It’s easy to use the label as justification
for remaining the same. Sören Kierkegaard wrote, “Once you label
me, you negate me.” When the individual must live up to the label,
the self ceases to exist. The same is true of self-labels. You could be
negating yourself by identifying with your trademarks, rather than
your own potential for growth.
All self-labels come out of an individual’s history. But the past,
as Carl Sandburg said in Prairie,  “is a bucket of ashes.”
Check yourself out on the extent to which you are chained to your
past. All self-defeating “I’ms” are the result of the use of these four
neurotic sentences:
(1) “That’s me.”
(2) “I’ve always been that way.”
(3) “I can’t help it.”
(4) “That’s my nature.”
There they are in one little package. The connectors that keep you
from growing, changing and making your life (from this instant
on—which is all the life you have) new, exciting and heaped with
present-moment fulfillment.

 by urine treatment
Kaviraj met him when he was on evening walk. The fisherman asked
him to prescribe any medicine for his ghastly disease. Kaviraj
showed him urine treatment and the fisherman started it at once.
After three weeks a watery ill-smelling substance began to ooze from
his body. The patient was so discouraged that he was on the point of
giving up the treatment. But Kaviraj persuaded him to continue it.
He used to visit the patient daily. Only day he had fever and it went
up to 105° He was uneasy for the whole night but the next day his
whole skin came out like the outer skin of a serpent. He was
besmeared with ashes. Two days after, he was given cow•s milk with
honey and he was given a full bath and was full cured. €: HA.PTER XV
EYE DISEASES
1. Glaucoma and Other Complaints : Shri Bhikhaji Kalaji aged
41 is a resident of Kasaiwada, Jamalpur, Ahmedabad. He suffered
from throbbing pain in the temples along with headache. His vision
was also dim and he was unable to see anything in the late evening
or at night. His eyes constantly remained red and watery. He
suffered from these troubles since a year. Though poor, he had
already spent Rs. 500/-. An eye-specialist of Ahmedabad examined
his eyes and said that they could be cured only when the excess
poisonous fluid behind the pupils is removed by an operation.
Bhikhaji was shocked. He feared that operation may result in
blindness which might leave his family in the lurch.
In the meanwhile he met Shri Ambalal Patel, Superintendent of
Ahmedabad Municipal Stores. The latter advised Bhikhaji for urine
treatment. So he began to wash his eyes twice or thrice a day with
urine and in addition drank three ounces of it once or twice a day.
Within a week he had some relief in his eyes and so he continued
the treatment with faith. Within the month of treatment, his
headache, throbbing pain in temples and pain in the eyes
disappeared totally. Natural whiteness returned to his eyes and
watering ceased. Not only his vision became clear, but
night-blindness was also removed.
On 3-11-58, Bhikhaji gave me a written account : "My body is in
perfect health and is more active than before. Now I am abte to read
newspapers which was impossible for me before the treatment. I
have been benefited to such an extent that I have given up even the
use of spectacles."
,,. 2 A. Freedom from Spectacles : Shri Ranjitbhai B. Parikh, was
getting his vision dim and he was compelled to use spectacles of-2
number. He began drinking urine through nose as prescribed in the
150. EYE DISEASES : 151
Sanskrit text Shivambukalp and practised it for five months as a
result of which the defect of reaction in his eyes was removed and
they appeared very bright.
