as a tonic in ChinaSchisandra chinensis  (Schisandraceae)
Schisandra, Wu Wei Zi (Chinese)
Schisandra ranks along with other Chinese tonic herbs
as an excellent tonic and restorative. It helps in stressful
times and increases zest for life. The berries tone the
kidneys and sexual organs, protect the liver, strengthen
nervous function, and cleanse the blood. The name wu
wei zi  means “5-flavored herb,” since this herb reputedly
tastes of the 5 main elemental energies ( see p. 40). It
has a sour, salty, and slightly warm taste. Habitat & Cultivation
Schisandra is cultivated in north -
eastern China, especially in the
provinces of Jilin, Lianoning,
Heilongjiang, and Hebei. It is
propagated from seed in spring. The fruit is harvested in autumn
when it is fully ripe. Related Species
Though less therapeutically
active than schisandra, the berries
of the related nan wu wei zi
(S. sphenanthera ) are commonly
used in Chinese medicine for the
treatment of acute coughs. Key Constituents
■ Lignans (schizandrin,
 deoxyschizandrin, gomisin)
■ Triterpeneso
■ Volatile oil
■ Vitamins C and E
Key Actions
■ Nerve tonic
■ Adaptogenic
■ Protects liverResearch
■ Aiding performance Healthy
adults given schisandra extract
showed a marked improvement
in both physical and mental stamina. Russian sailors given schisandra had
an increased capacity to maintain and
endure normal working regimens,
and Russian factory workers were
reported to have decreased
sickness levels. ■ Protecting the liver  The lignans
have been shown to have pronounced
antihepatoxic (liver-protective) action. Up to 30 different lignans have been
identified in schisandra, which all
contribute to this effect. One clinical
trial reported a 76% success rate in
treating patients with hepatitis, with
no side effects being noted. ■ Nervous system  Schisandra is
known to stimulate the nervous
system, increasing the speed of reflex
nervous responses and improving
mental clarity. The berries have a
mild antidepressant activity and
are thought to improve nervous
irritability and forgetfulness. In Russia,
schisandra has been used to treat
people with severe mental health
disorders including schizophrenia and
chronic alcoholism. Clinical studies
in 1967 found that those taking a
schisandra tincture became more
sociable and less emotionally tense. Traditional &
Current Uses
■ T onic Schisandra is a major tonic
herb and acts throughout the body,
strengthening and toning many
different organs. ■ Sexual stimulant Probably best
known as a sexual tonic for both men Schisandra
An aromatic woody
vine reaching up to
26 ft (8 m), with pink
flowers and spikes of
red berries. and women, schisandra reputedly
increases the secretion of sexual
fluids and, in men, it also improves
sexual stamina. ■ Liver treatment herb
Schisandra has proven benefits for
the liver and is used in the treatment
of hepatitis and poor liver function. ■ Sedative Although a stimulant,
schisandra is used in Chinese medicine
to “quiet the spirit and calm the heart.”
It is given for insomnia and dream-
disturbed sleep and is a fine example
of how adaptogenic herbs often work
in apparently contradictory ways to
restore normal body function. ■ Mental & emotional disorders
In Russia and China, schisandra berries
have traditionally been prescribed to
treat mental illnesses such as neuroses. They are also given to improve
concentration and coordination
and are a traditional remedy for
forgetfulness and irritability. ■ Respiratory infections The
herb is used in the treatment of Schisandra  is one of China’s most important
tonic herbs, widely taken as a sexual tonic. Parts Used
Key Preparations & Their UsesFruit helps the body
to cope with stress. Dried fruit
respiratory infections such as
chronic coughs, shortness of
breath, and wheezing. ■ Balancing fluid levels
Schisandra is used to tone up
and strengthen kidney function
and to help the body balance
levels of fluid, making it helpful
for treating night sweats, thirst,
and urinary frequency. ■ Skin rashes  Recently, Chinese
herbalists have started to use
schisandra to treat urticaria (hives)
and other skin problems, including
eczema. It is usually given for
these conditions in the form
of a medicinal wine. ■ Additional uses  Schisandra
is used for a wide variety of
other physical disorders, including
diarrhea and dysentery, as well
as to help improve failing sight
and hearing. Self-help Use

Baical Skullcap, Huang QuinBaical skullcap
A perennial growing  to 1–4 ft (30–120 cm) high, with lance-shaped leaves and purplish-blue flowers. Baical skullcap is an important medicinal
plant in China and is also cultivated as  an ornamental. Habitat & Cultivation
Baical skullcap is found in China,
Japan, Korea, Mongolia, and Russia. It thrives on sunny, grassy slopes and open areas between 330 ft (100 m) and 5,900 ft (1,800 m) above sea level. Baical skullcap is propagated from seed sown in autumn or spring. The roots of 3- to 4-year-old plants are harvested in autumn or spring. Related Species
Skullcap (S. lateriflora, p. 135)
is a close relation. It is a Native North American remedy for
anxiety and stress. Key Constituents
■ Flavonoids (about 12%)—
 baicalin, wogoniside
■ Sterols
■ Benzoic acid
Key Actions
■ Sedative
■ Antiallergenic
■ Antibacterial
■ Anti-inflammatoryResearch
■ Flavonoids Baical skullcap has
been quite widely researched in China, and it is clear that it has marked anti-inflammatory, anti-allergy, and antioxidant effects,
all 3 actions mostly being due to
the flavonoids. ■ Clinical evidence Clinical studies
investigating different applications of Baical skullcap show the herb has promise in the treatment of infections, including bronchitis,
and dysentery, high blood pressure, chronic hepatitis, and allergic rhinitis (hay fever). The root has anticancer activity, with studies showing small-scale positive results in patients with lung and prostate cancer. ■ Diabetes The herb may be useful
for problems arising from diabetes, including cataracts. ■ Weight-loss aid A South Korean
clinical trial in 2011 looked at the effectiveness of a baical skullcap and platycodon (Platycodon grandiflorum) combination in treating obesity. After 2 months, the group taking the herbs had lost significantly more weight than the placebo group. Traditional &
Current Uses
■ Cold & bitter herb In
traditional Chinese medicine,
Baical skullcap is “cold” and “bitter” (see p. 42). It is prescribed in China
for hot and thirsty conditions such
as high fevers, coughs with thick yellow phlegm, and gastrointestinal infections that cause diarrhea,  such as dysentery. It is also given  to people suffering from painful urinary conditions.■ Circulatory remedy Baical
skullcap is a valuable remedy for circulation. In combination with other herbs, it is used to treat high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, varicose veins, and easy bruising. ■ Other uses Applied to the
skin, Baical skullcap treats sores, swelling, and boils. It is also given  for circulatory problems that arise from diabetes.Parts Used

foot is a common plant
often found along roadsides and on verges and
in open areas. The flowers are gathered in late
winter, the leaves in summer. Parts Used Leaves, flowers. Constituents  Coltsfoot contains flavonoids,
about 8% mucilage (polysaccharides), 10% tannins,
pyrrolizidine alkaloids, vitamin C, and zinc. The
pyrrolizidine alkaloids may have a toxic effect
on the liver, but are largely destroyed when
the parts are boiled to make a decoction. The polysaccharides are anti-inflammatory
and immunostimulant. The flavonoids are
anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic. History & Folklore  For at least 2,500 years,
coltsfoot has been taken as a cough remedy
and smoked as a means to ease breathing. Dioscorides, a Greek physician of the 1st century ce,
recommended it for dry coughs, and “for those
who are unable to breathe except standing upright.”
Medicinal Actions & Uses  An effective
demulcent and expectorant herb, coltsfoot is
one of the most popular European remedies for
treating chest problems. In Europe, the leaves are
preferred to the flowers (which contain higher
amounts of pyrrolizidine alkaloids), but in China
the flowers are preferred. Both parts of the plant
are taken as a decoction for chest conditions. When used as a syrup or a medicinal cigarette,
coltsfoot relieves asthma. This herb is used as a
specific treatment for spasmodic coughs. It is
particularly effective when used in combination
with licorice ( Glycyrrhiza glabra, p. 101), thyme
(Thymus vulgaris, p. 143), and wild cherry ( Prunus
serotina, p. 257). Research  Extracts of the whole plant have been
shown to increase immune resistance. In a Chinese
trial involving 36 patients
suffering from bronchial
asthma, 75% showed
some improvement
after treatment, but
the antiasthmatic
effect was short-lived. Cautions  Do not use
coltsfoot flowers. Do
not take the leaves
for more than 3–4
weeks at a time. Do not take coltsfoot
during pregnancy or
while breastfeeding. The herb is not suitable
for children under 6. Coltsfoot is subject to
legal restrictions in
some countries.Tylophora asmatica (Asclepidaceae)
Asmatica,
Indian Lobelia
Description  Perennial twining climber with
lance-shaped leaves and greenish flowers
producing many flat seeds. Habitat & Cultivation  Native to the Indian
subcontinent, asmatica grows wild on the plains
of India. The leaves are gathered when the plant
is in flower. Parts Used  Leaves. Constituents  Asmatica contains alkaloids
(including tylophorine), flavonoids, sterols, and
tannins. Tylophorine has anti-inflammatory and
antitumor properties. History & Folklore  Asmatica has long been
used in Ayurvedic medicine to induce vomiting
and expectoration, and to treat dysentery and
rheumatic conditions. Medicinal Actions & Uses  Considered a
specific remedy for asthma, asmatica may relieve
symptoms for up to 3 months. It is also beneficial
in cases of hay fever, and is prescribed for acute
allergic problems such as eczema and hives. It
holds potential as a treatment for chronic fatigue
syndrome and other immune system disorders. Asmatica may relieve rheumatoid arthritis, and
may also be of value in the treatment of cancer. Research  Extensive laboratory and clinical
research in India has established that asmatica
is an effective remedy for asthma. In the 1970s,
a number of clinical trials showed that a majority
of asthmatic patients taking the herb for just
6 days gained relief from asthma for up to a
further 12 weeks. However, subsequent studies
have failed to reproduce these results. The
leaves produce side-effects including nausea
and vomiting. QCaution  T ake asmatica only under
professional supervision.Part Used  Pollen. Constituents  Cattail contains isorhamnetin,
pentacosane, and sterols. History & Folklore  The pollen is highly
inflammable and has been used in the manufacture
of fireworks. The root is edible and has been eaten
in times of famine. The young shoots can be eaten
raw or cooked in spring, and are said to taste
like asparagus ( Asparagus officinalis,  p. 174). Coltsfoot has long been used
as a remedy for coughs.Cattail or pu huang  is used to staunch wounds and stop
internal bleeding. Although “bulrushes” (the British and Irish name for
cattails) are mentioned in the Bible, it is likely the
plant being referred to is actually Cyperus papyrus. Medicinal Actions & Uses  In Chinese herbal
medicine, the astringent pollen has been employed
chiefly to stop internal or external bleeding. The
pollen may be mixed with honey and applied to
wounds and sores, or taken orally to reduce
internal bleeding of almost any kind—for example,
nosebleeds, uterine bleeding, or blood in the urine. The pollen is now also used in the treatment of
angina (pain in the chest or arm due to lack of
oxygen to the heart muscle). In India, the dried
pollen has been used for kidney stones, to treat
nosebleeds and internal bleeding, as well as for
painful menstruation. Cattail does not appear to
have been used as a medicine in the European
herbal tradition. Research Chinese research suggests that cattail
pollen protects blood vessels from inflammation
and acts as an immunosuppressant. Caution  Do not take during pregnancy.Typha angustifolia (Typhaceae)

Gou Teng
Description  Climbing perennial growing to
33 ft (10 m). Has opposite lance-shaped leaves,
thorns, and composite flowerheads. Habitat & Cultivation  Native to China and
Southeast Asia, gou teng is cultivated in the southern and eastern provinces of China. The stems and thorns are collected in autumn and winter. Parts Used  Stems, thorns. Constituents  Gou teng contains indole alkaloids,
flavonoids, triterpenoid, and polysaccharides. History & Folklore  The first recorded use of
gou teng in Chinese medicine is in the Miscellaneous Records (c.  500 ce). Medicinal Actions & Uses  Gou teng is a
sedative and antispasmodic, and is mainly used to ease symptoms such as tremors, seizure, spasms, headache, and dizziness. It is also prescribed for infantile convulsions. In Chinese herbal medicine  it “extinguishes [internal] wind [gas] and stops tremors.” It is also used by the Chinese to reduce high blood pressure and excess liver “fire.”
Research  Chinese tests on laboratory animals
indicate that gou teng lowers blood pressure, reduces anxiety, and has notable sedative activity. Related Species  Like gou teng, pale catechu
(U. gambier) contains a constituent that lowers
blood pressure. See also cat’s claw (U. tomentosa,  following entry). QCaution T ake gou teng only under
professional supervision.History & Folklore Known by the Ashaninka
and other indigenous peoples of central Peru for
its power in regulating illness, cat’s claw has been used since the earliest times to treat serious  illness, from asthma and diabetes to arthritis  and cancer. Native healers are able to distinguish between what are botanically identical plants, selecting those that have a low TOA content  and are therefore most likely to prove effective  in strengthening immunity. Medicinal Actions & Uses  Like echinacea
(Echinacea spp., p. 92), with which it combines
effectively, cat’s claw supports a weakened
immune system, and can reinvigorate the body’s efforts to counter infection and inflammation. The herb’s antioxidant activity also helps to contain the widespread cellular damage that occurs in chronic degenerative disease. Conditions that may benefit include infections such as chronic fatigue syndrome and HIV/AIDS; chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis; and asthma. Cat’s claw may also be taken to help prevent cancer, particularly breast cancer, and is
useful in countering the damaging effects
of chemotherapy. Research  Investigations into the


renou s limb is not treating diabetes. The
physician who prescribes a "Seeing-Eye-Dog" is not treating diabetes. The physician who
prescribes insulin is not treating diabetes. The di abetic who gives himself insulin and changes his
diet is properly treating his own diabetic conditio n.
The Cancer Victim going untreated will die a horrib le, painful death. The Orthodox Physician
who uses surgery, radiation and chemotherapy is not  treating cancer. The Alternative "doctor"
who prescribes herbs, shark cartilage, black salve,  laetrile, vitamins, etc. is not treating cancer. The Chinese doctor who prescribes 6 cockroaches and  3 grasshoppers daily is not treating
cancer. These items may help something else in one’ s body, but will not properly treat one’s
cancer. Even should these "Quacks" prescribe pancreatic enz ymes for the cancer victim, they are not
treating cancer. The cancer victim must treat himself by taking a sa fe, effective, uncontaminated form of
PANCREATIN  in adequate dosages and change his diet. The "Quacks" of our society are not permitted to tr eat cancer, should they choose to, nor do they
know how. The "Quacks" of our society are only perm itted to treat Malignant Tumors and one’s
purse. The great charlatans of our civilization, like Wm. Rockefeller with his snake oil, P. T. Barnum
with his circus, Barney Cornfield with his investme nt and insurance schemes must look down
from heaven or up from hell, green with envy and je alousy. They must beg God for a chance to
be a modern day physician. By the time you and/or your physician discover a ma lignant tumor mass, you have had cancer for
2 or more years. You have to face the truth that ca ncer is nothing more than the failure of your
pancreas to produce adequate pancreatin and your bo dy to deliver it to the site of an injury or
stimulated defective cell. The cancer victim does not have to be a party to hi s own plunder and murder. He must properly
treat his own cancer, as he is the only one who can. He must embark on a "Do-It-Yourself"
program. The cancer victim wants someone else to do it for h im. However that is impossible, for only the
victim himself can properly treat his own cancer. For the time being, it is not illegal to treat your self. How long will the Establishment permit it? Only God knows. Those who are wise enough to realize wealth is not determined in Silver, Gold or Diamonds
should consider obtaining a supply of pancreatin. H ealth is also an important asset. In 1904, only one American in 24 had cancer in his lifetime. In the 35 years since I cured myself
of terminal pancreatic cancer and guided some 33,00 0 cancer victims to health, the CANCER
RATE  has increased from one in five, to now, as you rea d this, the CANCER RATE is one in
two. And the Cancer Industry calls this Progress Against  Cancer — the lie, the big lie. The War
on Cancer is the plundering war of our peoples, not  a war on cancer. DIABETES
A young man, Ernest Scott, getting his MS from Rock efeller University in 1911, discovered
insulin. This was his Thesis. All the great scienti sts could not figure out what insulin was or how
to obtain it. It is a most interesting story of God ’s direction of Ernest Lyman Scott. He presented
it to the Rockefeller University of Chicago. He sub mitted the completed document and his
mentor professor was to publish it. The mentor chan ged it "for publication" and did not publish
it. However, the University still has Scott’s origi nal Thesis. Scott became interested in diabetes while he was te aching in High School the year before he
started his graduate studies. One of his high schoo l students, a football player, did not show up
for practice. Scott went to the student’s home. The re he learned the boy had just been told he had
diabetes. In 1911 and until the late 1920’s and ear ly 1930’s, diabetes was always a death sentence (even as cancer is today). The young man s aid: "What’s the use of playing football, I
will soon die." The next year Scott, as a graduate student in physi ology, was doing experiments on dogs that had
had their pancreas removed or tied off. When the Di ener (a German word for laboratory
assistant-animal-attendant employee of the universi ty) quit because of the fly problem and sticky
urine puddles from these dogs, Scott immediately fi gured out that the urine had high
concentrations of sugar. This led Scott to discover  insulin and separate the insulin secretions
from the pancreatin. No one had ever done that befo re. Scott went on to Columbia University to get his Ph. D. and remained on staff for years. His
Doctorate Dissertation was the development of the S tandard Blood Test for Diabetes. The story
is too long to go into here, however, Eli Lilly Co.  was only a name on a garage until the 1930’s
when they started producing insulin by stealing Sco tt’s 1911 insulin process. In 1997, the Eli Lilly Trust Fund was the richest i n the world. It exceeded the Ford Foundation
for the first time. The Medical Establishment used the pancreatin part of Scott’s research and patented it. They
then gave this monopoly to the Viobin Company, a su bsidiary of the A.H. Robins
Pharmaceutical Co. Essentially Viobin has the worldwide monopoly for t he production of pancreatin, just as Lilly
has the worldwide monopoly for insulin. The Medical Establishment gave the 35 million-dolla r plant, having never been used, that Oscar
Myer made to go into competition with Viobin when V iobin’s patent ran out in August 1983, to
the Viobin Company for $5 million in one of their t ypical procedures. • All Pancreatin comes from one company, Scientific P rotein Laboratories. • All Vitamins come from Hoffmann-LaRoche Inc., Nutle y, New Jersey. • All Minerals come from Eastman Kodak Co. in Rochest er, New York.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely.

Scott discovered and documented the cause and cure of Diabetes. All Physicians had only treated
the results of diabetes, such as heart, liver and k idney damage, gangrene and blindness, but not
diabetes. Everything went along the same as usual, diabetic patients dying, until the 1920’s when
Dr. Scott developed and standardized the blood test  for diabetes. During this period, the Medical
Establishment in their pompous ignorance and diabol ical greed murdered Dr. Scott’s wife and
only son. The Eli Lilly Co. was given the sole and only monopoly for the manufacture and sale
of insulin, by the Big Establishment, which control s all monopolies. Lilly’s problem was, they
could not make insulin. Therefore by stealth, decei t and conspiracy, a Lilly conspirator
confiscated Scott’s procedures and technique for pr oduction of insulin. The Medical Establishment then forced Sir Dr. Frede rick Banting to accept a Doctor of Medicine
degree that he did not want and in which he had no interest. Next the Establishment gave the Nobel Prize to Banting (a very honorable man) and B est (not so honorable) to cover up Lilly’s

 my mind in holding
data that cannot actually be visualized, it being outside the human experience. A figure 8 on
its side is —not by coincidence —the international symbol for infinity.) In the Realm of the Spiritual everything exists in absolute form, whereas in the Realm of
the Physical things exist in r elative form. In the Realm of the Spiritual all things are
absolutely what they are. In the Realm of the Physical a thing is what it is relative to other
things that are not what it is. Big and Small, therefore, do not exist in the Realm of the Spiritual, but only in the Realm
of the Physical. Here  and There, likewise, do not exist in the Realm of the Spiritual, but only
in the Realm of the Physical. As well, Now  and Then, Fast  and Slow, Male  and Female, Up and
Down, Light  and Dark, Good  and Evil, Love  and Fear... none of these things exist in the
Realm of the Spiritual, but only in the Realm of the Physical. In the Realm of the Spiritual it is always Here  and Now, and there is only Light  and Love. Thus, we could rename these realms, calling them... In the Realm of the Absolute you know absolutely everything, and you know it
absolutely. Yet you cannot experience what you know, because there is nothing else. For
instance, you can know  that are you Love, but you cannot experience yourself as Love,
becau se there is nothing that is not Love. You can know  yourself as Light, but you cannot experience  yourself as Light, because
there is nothing else but the Light. You can know yourself as Good, but you cannot experience  yourself as Good, because Evil
does not exist. The formula is this:
IN THE ABSENCE OF THAT WHICH YOU ARE NOT THAT WHICH YOU ARE IS NOT
That is, it cannot be made real in your experience. You can know yourself conceptually,
but you cannot know yourself experientially. You can conceive  of yourself in a particular
way, but you cannot experience  yourself being that way  because there is nothin g else but
That Which You Are. Here, then, is the Conundrum of God: How can God experience Itself? By not being God. Unless It was not God (that is, not the Totality of Itself), God could understand  Itself to be
magnificent, but God could not experience  Itself being that. Again... why? Because there
was nothing else but “magnificence” in the Realm of the Absolute. God could understand
Itself to be enormous, endless, and timeless, yet these concepts had no meaning since there
was nothing that was not “eno rmous,” “endless,” and “timeless.” God could understand
Itself to be All Powerful, yet power could not be experienced in an environment in which
there was nothing but absolute power in equal measure. Since God wished to Know Itself experientially  as well a s conceptually, God created a
place in the Kingdom (or, if you will, in Ultimate Reality) where all that God Is could be
experienced  as well as known. God did this by dividing Itself up  into a million ka -jillion different parts, or Aspects of
Itself, with each of the Parts created in different sizes and shapes, colors and textures,
speeds and sounds, and levels of visibility and invisibility. Then any Part of The Whole (that
is, any Individuated Aspect of Divinity) could look back on The Whole from which It
emerged and say, “Oh, my God, how magnificent Thou art!” All it would take would be for
that particular Aspect to have sufficient consciousness (self -awareness) to do so. And so, after dividing Itself up into a million ka -jillion individual parts, God mer ely had
to imbue some of those parts with sufficient consciousness to recognize (that is, re -cognize,
or “know again”) Divinity when it was looking right at It. (Not all human beings have risen
to that level of consciousness.) God put into place a system  by which Individuations of Itself
could  rise to such a level, and that system was called evolution. This is the System of the Soul. You now know about the Mechanics of the Mind and the System of the Soul. There is
more to learn, however, about this System —which you will do presently. We see, then, that the Realm of the Absolute (also known as the Realm of Spirituality) is
where KNOWING everything takes place, and that the Realm of the Relative (also known as
the Realm of the Physical) is where EXPERIENCING e verything takes place. It might be said,
then, that souls come to the earth in order to gain a world of experience. We therefore can give the realms in the Kingdom of God yet another name... Whichever of the three labels you choose, you will be correc t. These names are
interchangeable, and the various names have been given to us so that we might look at
Ultimate Reality in whatever way makes the most sense to us, thus allowing us to
comprehend the incomprehensible. But it was said that there is a third  realm  in the Kingdom (or in Ultimate Reality), do you
remember? We said, at first, that there was the Realm of the Spiritual, the Realm of the
Physical, and, at the cross point between them, the Realm of the Spirisical. Spirisical  is, of course, a word th at I simply made up, because there is no word currently
in human language to indicate what this realm is all about. This realm is not a place where
the other two realms combine, but rather, a space from which the other two realms emerge. It is difficult to  describe in human words the exact nature of this realm, but if we drop
down to our third set of labels we perhaps can get close. In our third set of labels we called the realms of the Kingdom of God the Realm of
Knowing and the Realm of Experiencing. The third realm, the realm at the cross point,
might then be called the Realm of Being. Situated at the cross point of the figure 8, this is
what you experience when you cross over. That is, when you move from the Realm of the
Physical to the Realm of the Spir itual. This Middle Realm is where pure being  occurs. Yes? Are you getting it? Are you beginning to see a Larger Picture? Now you might ask, “What is that? What is pure being about?” My answer would be that
in the space of pure being you both know and exper ience Who You Really Are. This
knowing and experiencing simultaneously  is the experience for which God yearns. It is
God’s greatest joy. It is the wonder of Divinity, fully known and fully expressed! It is
nirvana. It is bliss. It is heaven. Yet heaven is not limited to this. The whole process  is heaven, and the wonder of the
process is that the Total Being That You Are can be in nirvana, bliss, and absolute
joyfulness at any point in the process. The cross point was simply created in order to ensure
that each Individuated Aspect of Divinity would never be lost from the feeling, but would
be guaranteed  nirvana, bliss, and absolute joyfulness. This is what you experience when you “cross over” at the moment of your “death”
(which does not really exist) and at the moment of your rebirth (your next re -entry into the
Realm of the Physical). You see, the Ultimate Reality is actually a circle. One rounded whole. The energy of life
travels in this circle, through all eternity. It is the cycle of life. In the b eginning, God WAS
this circle, in place AS the circle, complete. When God individuated Itself, it sent the
individual Aspects of Divinity on a journey around the circle. So fast did these infinitesimal
bits and pieces of God travel that they seemed to be e verywhere all the time. Like a tire
spinning so fast that it seems like a solid circle not moving at all, so, too, the cycle of life
replicated the Always Everywhere -ness of God by seeming to create a solid where there
were really moving parts. By dividing  itself up into a million ka -jillion such parts, each part could look back upon
The Whole and suddenly have a context within which to consider the magnificence of The
Whole —and thus, to know God. Yet how could each of the Individuated Aspects also know
Itself as God? That was the question! While each Individuation raced through the cycle of
life, how would it know what it really was? Seeing the rest of It, would it know that It WAS
the rest of it, in singular part? To know this, the Individuated Aspect woul d have to be able to experience the utter joy
that was now God’s —for God, through the cycle of life, could now know and experience
Itself simultaneously — and that was bliss, indeed. Yet how could it be guaranteed that each
Individuation  would move into thi s bliss as well? Ah, there’s the twist. And so, in order to ensure this, the Circle that is God twisted itself
to form a figure 8, reasoning that if at one point  both sides of the circle could touch, then the


  h appen gives pessimism a ll the opening it needs. With
practice and guidance, habitual negativity can be softened, but
human nature hasn’t been m ade peaceful and fulfilled by the use
of reason. Finally, there is the second part of the teaching to contend with. “Use a thorn to  remove a thor n, then throw both thorns away. ” In
the pro cess of getting over an illness, you take medicine as long as
it’s needed, then you throw the pills away. But the same thing is
more mysterio us when it com es to the mind. If you use positive
thoughts, for example, to rep lace negative thoughts, you still windup as a posit ive thinker, just as embedded in your story as
someone who is gloomy. It’s better to live in sunshine than in
shade, no doubt. Escaping the illusion is another matter. Throwing both  thorns away means that the whole scena rio of
pain and pleasure, good and evil, light and darkness, is di scarded. This is taken t o be Buddha’s essential message. The diagnosis is
accurate, and the picture of being healed—living beyond the grip
of th e drama—is inspiring. The challenge presented to the direct
path is how to make inspiration a living reality. C l e a r i n g  t h e  W a y  f o r  t h e  S e l f
The answer, as I conceive it, is to use desire as the thorn,
because we all have experienced its double nature. Desire
demands to be fulfilled. If the desire is strong enough, as in
passionate sexual attraction, it is enough to drive people mad. The
thorn causes pain, because it is never enough to have one moment
of f ulfillment— the next desire arrives with a new demand to be
fulfilled. What ’s the other thorn, the one that will end the pain. Fulfillment itse lf. Moralists who preach against desire, who call it
the work of the Devil or, in Freudian terms, the work of the id, see
with on ly one eye. Desire is as  beautiful as it is treacherous. Sexual
attraction leads to lasting, loving relationships and not just sexual
assault. I do n’t think anyone would d eny this truism, and we can draw
on i t by  using the thorn of desire to remove the thorn of desire. But desire for what. If spiritu al traditions have held out th e desire
for love, peace, divine grace, forgiveness, and a ticket to Heaven or
Nirvana, only to fall short in t he end, what is left. The only answer
I can think of is the desire to  be real. The sense of self ul timately
has that to offer, and that alone. There is no stick or carrot, only
the promise that you can be here now, which is how you can
experience reality free of all illusion. In p ractical terms, the mind can’t learn what it is to be real all
at once. The direct path is s till a path—it takes time. Li fe offersevery im aginable reason to quit the path. Desire lures us to turn
our inte rest elsewhere—the o ld story is very insistent. But you can
cultivate an interest in getting  real. It’s not necessarily har der than
cultivating an interest in wine or stamp collecting or Russian
novels. All that’s needed is curiosity and the flicker of desire
(referred to in the Indian tradition as the spark that burns down
the forest; one urge to escap e the illusion will destroy th e whole
illusion eventually). The direct path is unique because we are not taught by love,
peace, compas sion, or any other desirable quality our lives can
bring. We are t aught by existence itself. Only knowing wh at lies at
the heart of existence will work. Contrary to Hamlet, “To be, or not
to be” isn’t the question. “To be” is the question, all by itself. If you
ask it every day, your tru e self will hear and then present
fascinating, ever-changing answers. Engaged in finding out what it
means to be here, you tr ansform your mind from its old
conditioning into a vehicle  that can reach the beyond. The
conditioned mind has firmly decided what it means to exist, which
is how we became stuck in the first place. To g et ourselves unstuck, onc e and for all, the direct path runs
into a practical problem, w hich has been described in ancient
Indian texts as “separating water from milk. ” In other  words,
everyday reali ty mixes the real and the unreal so t hey are
inseparable. T his is obvious when you look at the brain, which
presents virtual reality only because the “real” reality makes us
conscious in the first place. The worst movie ever made is
projected on the screen with the same projector as a classic film
masterpiece. M any versions of the direct path teach that we are
like children watching shado w puppets on the wall. We believe in
these images so completely that the truth escapes us—shadows
can’t exist without the light that makes them visible. Virtual reality
only exists thanks to metareality. To separate light from shadow sounds easy enough, and the
direct p ath proves it. All you need to do is bring the sense o f self to
your at tention. As a practical matter, nothing is easier or more
natural. At any moment in the day, simply shut your eyes, take a
few deep breaths to bring on a state of relaxation, and center your
attention on your heart (or on your breath). It sounds strange,given th e elaborate complexity of religion, that the entire spiritual
journey is only this: relax and be aware of yourself. By doin g this, you subtly allow  the “pull of the self” to become a
real ex perience. If your intention is more serious, learning to
meditate or making a commitment to yoga intensifies the
experience of sensing the self—the mantras and yoga poses
( asanas ) w ere devised to give a differ ent flavor or coloration of the
self. We  are already outfitted for this process. As children grow up,
for example, they learn to identify the gradations of e motion. Hostility, outrage, irritation, and hate. Once you connect those
labels with an inner feeling,  it comes naturally to say, “I’m not
angry, just frustrated” or “Don’t go near him—he’s a hater. ”
Gradations in consciousness  can also be felt, but they don’t
have labels. When you experience the sen se of self as directed above, you go
beyond the thoughts and feelings that can be labeled. None of
them, even the most loving thought and spiritual feelin g, is the
basis of  reality. Only the sens e of self is irreducible. You cannot go
beyond it or t urn it into something more basic. Mental activity
vanishes into a kind of nothingness—silent mind. Accordin g to the
direct path, this is the sour ce of everything “in here” a nd “out
there. ” But here’s the tricky part. Is “everything” practical. If
someone show ed you a blan k piece of paper and said, “Here is
every b ook” or a blank canvas and said, “Here is every pa inting,”
such a statement would not  help you write a book or paint a
painting. Wha t you want is to write one book, not every book,
paint one painting and not every painting. Likewise, it seems unhelpful to say that metareality is “always,
everything, and everywhere. ” We are attuned to specifics. For
better or worse, we live our lives at this  mo ment, in this  location. It may seem h opelessly vagu e to tell someone as I’ve been saying
to “Be here now. ” Where else are we, on Mars. Section summary:

). What’s	the	best	way	to	get	the	nutrients	you	need? Be	sure	to	eat	from	a	wide
variety	of	plant	foods,	preferably	organic,	as	the	first	step. You	can	also	source
specific	superfoods	rich	in	certain	vitamins	(bee	pollen	is	rich	in	B	vitamins,	for
instance). If	you	still	are	worried	you	aren’t	eating	as	well	as	you	should,	you
can	also	source	a	high-quality,	whole-food-based	and	nonsynthetic
multivitamin
or	multimineral	supplement	from	a	reputable	company	that	has	done	the
necessary	work	and	research	to	ensure	optimal	nutritional	absorption. It	should
include	vitamin	D
3
	(which	many	people	do	need	to	supplement,	especially	if
you	aren’t	getting	an	adequate	dosage	of	regular	sunshine)	and	the	spectrum	of
B	vitamins,	including	vitamin	B
12
. If	you’re	vegan,	you	should	definitely
supplement	vitamin	B
12
. A	magnesium-oxygen	supplement	(such	as	Detoxy	+)	is	great	for	promoting
ongoing	cleansing	(see
this	page
). As	recommended	in
Pillar	1
,	be	sure	to
consume	chia,	hemp,	or	flaxseeds	daily	for	daily
omega-3	fats. An	algae-based
DHA	and	EPA	supplement	can	be	good	insurance,	as	some	people	don’t
convert	omega-3	fats	adequately	into	longer-chain	DHA	fats. Algae	is	the
primary	source	from	which	fish	obtain	their	DHA,	and	scientists	from
Harvard
and	the
Cleveland	Clinic	also	report	in
The	Journal	of	Nutrition
	that	algae-based
DHA	can	boost	levels	of	good	cholesterol	and	cut	levels	of	triglycerides. 11
	Fishoil	pills	as	a	source	of	omega-3	fats	are	not	recommended,	as	they	can	often
become	rancid	and	contaminated	with	toxins. How	Does
Salt	Fit	In	with	Beauty? Sodium,	found	in	salt,	is	an	element	our	bodies	need	to	function	properly. It
helps	to	control	our	blood	pressure	and	blood	volume,	as	well	as	ensuring
proper	muscle	and	nerve	function. The	best	beauty	forms	of	salt	to	use	are
small	amounts	of	high-quality	sea	salt,	such	as	Celtic	or	Himalayan	sea	salt. These	sea	salts	also	have	trace	minerals	and	elements. Sea	salts	are	obtained
from	the	evaporation	of	saltwater	bodies,	rather	than	the	heavy	processing	that
produces	table	salt;	this	includes	bleaching	and	diluting	the	salt	after	harvesting
with	anticaking	agents	and	other	chemicals. For	these	reasons,	stick	to	sea	salt
in	your	cooking. But	too	much	salt	is	definitely	a	beauty	and	health	no-no. Excessive	salt
intake	can	increase	the	risk	for
heart	disease,	hypertension,	high	blood	pressure,
and	kidney	disease. It	can	also	make	your	skin	look	dehydrated. Excessive	sodium	can	also	create	“false	fat,”	making	you	look	bloated	and
pounds	heavier	than	you	truly	weigh. An	average	daily	guideline	is	1,000	to	1,500	milligrams	(mg)	of	sodium	per
day	or	less. If	you	are	at	risk	for	a	medical	condition,	such	as	those	listed	above,
you	can	certainly	omit	salt	from	your	cooking	altogether. Most	of	us,
accustomed	to	so	many	processed	and	restaurant
foods	that	contain	loads	of
sodium,	are	used	to	a	very	salty	flavor. Shifting	into	eating	more	natural	foods
and	preparing	simpler	food	will	help	you	become	more	sensitive	to	the	taste	of
salt. It’s	also	a	good	idea	to	add	sea	salt	to	your	food	right	before	you	eat	it,	so	it
tastes	more	salty	without	using	more	actual	salt!PILLAR	2:
External	Nourishment
Now	that	you	know	how	to	lay	the	foundation	for	your	beauty	with	your	diet,
we	are	going	to	talk	about	the	best	forms	for	the	outer	care	of	your	skin. This
includes	the	safest	and	most	effective	skin-care	products	and	ingredients	as	well
as	self-care	practices	that	will	help	you	grow	strong	nails;	healthy,	shiny	hair;
and	clear,	glowing	skin. Incorporating	superior	inner	and	outer	care	will
nourish	your	whole	body	from	the	outside	in	and	let	your	natural	beauty	shine
through	to	the	highest	degree	possible. In	this	pillar	we’ll	cover	the	best—as	well
as	the	worst—ingredients	and	practices	so	you	can	allow	your	most	beautiful	self
to	be	authentically	reflected.SHIFT	6:

Your	Amazing	Skin
Our	largest	organ,	the	skin,	is	a	fascinating	one. It	is	an	elimination	organ,
meaning	it	helps	dispel	wastes	from	your	body	through	sweat. Your	skin
receives	roughly	a	third	of	all	the	blood	that	is	circulated	throughout	the	body. It	makes	sense	that	if	the	blood	is	congested,	this	is	reflected	in	your	skin. Your
skin	is	the	last	organ	to	receive	nutrition	in	the	body,	yet	is	among	the	first
organs	to	show	signs	of	an	imbalance	or	deficiency. But	skin	does	also	work	in	the	opposite	way,	absorbing	what	is	applied	to	it
on	the	outside. It	is	therefore	critical	to	be	strategic	about	putting	the	best
ingredients	on	the	surface	of	your	skin	to	help	repair	and	support	its	health
from	the	outside	in. This	seems	obvious,	but	there	is	a	great	deal	of	marketing
hype	to	weed	through	to	determine	what	works	and	what	is	merely	an	empty
claim. It’s	also	critical	to	avoid	the	numerous	toxic	ingredients	that	can	be
absorbed	and	not	only	tax	your	skin	but	also	enter	your	bloodstream	and
burden	your
liver. Your	skin	is	also	influenced	by	your	emotions	and	mental	state. Research
shows	that	stress	can	cause	visible	aging	at	the	cellular	level,	including	a	study
published	in	the
Proceedings	of	the	National	Academy	of	Sciences
. 1

Elissa	Epel,	one
of	the	researchers	for	this	study,	states,	“This	is	the	first	time	that	psychological
stress	has	been	linked	to	a	cellular	indicator	of	aging	in	healthy	people.”
2
Luckily,	many	of	the	techniques	in	this	pillar	will	help	relax	your	mind	and
body	while	nurturing	your	skin	from	the	outside	in. Healthy,	smooth,	and	radiant	skin	is	considered	the	holy	grail	of	beauty. If
you	survey	any	woman	(and	most	men,	even	though	they	might	not	discuss	it	as
openly! ),	you	will	find	that	beautiful	skin	is	at	the	very	top	of	her	beauty	wish
list. Well,	the	time	has	come	for	you	to	get	your	wish. By	working	with	yourskin	and	incorporating	ingredients	into	your	routine	that	will	help	nourish
your	skin,	you’ll	create	an	optimal	environment	for	your	skin	to	grow,	repair,
and	heal	itself. The	result	will	be	skin	that	glows,	reflecting	your	highest	beauty. Natural	vs.	Chemical	Ingredients
Some	may	think	that	the	expensive,	scientifically	created,	cutting-edge	products
on	the	market	are	automatically	the	most	effective	choices	out

CASES OF CANCER,
Cancer of the Tongue: 1. Hashmukh G. Panwala (1676, Sevkani
wadi, Khadia, Ahmedabad-1} provides an excellent case of
cancer-cure by urine therapy:
"About a couple of months ago, I had to consult eminent doctors
and specialists for the treatment of my father. He was said so suffer
from malignant tongue cancer. "Being in the employment in air-lines, I had a mind to take him to
Switzerland, but it was considered to be of no avail. "However in my over-enthusiasm, I did manage to give my father
some deep X-rays, numbering about four courses, but despite this
the shooting pain did not subside even for a while. "As I had an occ<tsion to try urine therapy for my own chronic
cold trouble in 1957, I suggested to my proposal. He started the
treatment, commencing with ten days' fast. Soon after, amazing
relief was noticeable, even though the pace of progress was very
slow. I thought it was advisable to consult Shri Raojikaka. "He suggested to begin the treatment again commencing with
four days' fast and atter the fast, to continue the treatment of urine
therapy while taking sp~·cial care about food. Salt, sugar, milk and
other things were totally forbidden. My father followed the regime
religiously. I was also carefully watching the progress. "When I consulted the doctors and surgeons again, I was+.ld that
something miraculous had happend to my father inasmuch as his
cancer was cured 75% in one and a half month. CASES OF CANCER : 1 07
"I was over fubiliant to hear this and was anxiously waiting for
cent percent cure. Lastly some ten days ago, I went to an eminent
doctor with my father for check-up. According to his opinion, the
cure was almost complete and the patient might be feeling that he
was completely cured." 2. In 1954, when urine therapy was not known to me, Shri
ChhaganlaJ T. Patel (Ahmedabad) aged fifty-one, working in Messrs.
Chimanlal M. & Co. (lal darwaja), had developed cancer on his
tongue. Shri Babubhai, a young man and an employee of the same
firm, was very much interested in the medical science. In the course
of his search for this knowledge, he read the famous book of
Armstrong. He asked his co-worker Shri Chhaganlal Patel to try the
urine treatment.for cancer. The latter agreed to this proposal and
began the treatment. In due course, he met with success and got
rid of his trouble. After three years of this incident when I published my on
experiences about urine therapy, Shri Babubhai Soni came to me
with Shri Chhaganlal Patel. With deep· faith and enthusiasm, they
narrated their own experiences of urine therapy. On 17-10-58, Shri
Chhaganlal pate! sent the following account:
"In 1954, I observed a boil on my tongue. At the time of ta~ing
the meals or drinking liquids, I used to feel a burninig sensation on
my tongue. Shri Babubhai continued' to press me to take to urine
therapy as I had already been treated by medical experts. After three
months of hard trial, I was convinced about the efficacy of
auto-urine. With the intake of urine, the burning sensation
diminished and I felt some strength as well. But for an early and
complete cure, I consulte Dr. Haribhakti. He advised an operation. 1 was then operated and was advised to go to the Civil Hospital for
the examination on the operated organ. I was not to take solid diet
for three or four days after operation. So there was an automatic
fast. During this period, 1 took urine in as much quantity as I could. Drinking of auto-urine resulted in the healing of the wound caused
by operation within three days. I had kept the doctor informed of 108 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY
my condition. The doctor was greatly astonished to know that the
wound was healed as if magically within three days and I had no
pain any more. Shri M~danmohan Sheth advised me to go at once to
Tata Hospital at Bombay. But I knew very well that I had been
cured by the urine treatment. I, therefore, continued drinking urine
but in order to honour the advice, I went to Tata Hospital. The
operated part of my tongue was treated with radium rays. But the
fact is that there was no need of any treatment; since my wound had
been already healed up and I had no pain whatsoever. The doctors
of Tata Hospital asked me to go there again after one month. During
that period, I continued drinking urine and as a result of it, I had
gained 13 lb. in weight. When after one month I visited the Hospital
again, the doctors were surprised to see marked improvement. Now,
they gave me neither any medicine nor the rays, but I was asked to
go there again after two months. During that period, there was a
total gain of 23 lb; in my weight. I ate well and felt strength and
vigour in my body. Since then, three years have passed but the
increase in my weight is still maintained. At present my age is 51
but I feel myself as strong as a man of 41.11
According to Civil Hospital's report, the above-mentioned case of
Shri Chhaganlal patel was one of cancer. He had faith in urine
therapy and has told me that he had been cured by urine treatment. But since he was operated · by the doctor, the latter too has a
chance to say that had the operation been not performed, there was
no chance of any cwre. However, the history of cancer is sad. Rarely
had any patient attained complete cure by knife and radiation.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

Q: What was the author's initial goal with the urine experiment?,
A: To treat his own heart trouble.
Q: What was the result of the author's experiment with urine, and what did he do next?,
A: The experiment showed positive results, and he decided to stop the rubbing and drink urine regularly, but he still had to stop the fast after two days due to low blood pressure.
Q: Who helped the author's friend, Shri Raojibhai, with his heart disease, and what was the outcome?,
A: Dr. Jashubhai Bhatta helped him, and the outcome was that he was cured of his heart disease.
Q: What was the author's second attempt at the urine treatment, and what was the result?,
A: The author's second attempt was to fast for five days, which resulted in his blood pressure going up to 135, and he had to stop the fast due to his heart condition. He then decided to stop the fast and instead take two tablets of Diazoxine and then gradually replaced them with urine. After four months, he felt his condition had improved, and his heart was working normally.

careful scrutiny which was also undertaken by


	this	world. She	spent	her	final	years	in
meditation	and	became	enlightened,	so	when	the	extra	second	was	up,	Yama
was	amazed	to	find	that	Savitri	hadn’t	tricked	him	after	all. She	actually	did
love	him	as	one	loves	the	wholeness	of	life	rather	than	one	aspect	alone. This	ending	is	beautiful	and	consoling. I	would	like	it	to	be	read	when	Ihave	no	more	days	left. In	the	spirit	of	Savitri	I’ve	already	written	this	note,
which	I	will	leave	for	my	family	to	read. No	matter	what,	don’t	cry	for	me. I’m	all	right,	and	I’ll	go	on	loving	you	no	matter	what	happens. This	is	my
road	to	travel
. Every	once	in	a	while	I	look	at	the	words	for	a	moment. Somehow,	like
Savitri,	I’ve	won	nothing	more	than	an	extra	second	of	existence. It	will	be
enough. REINCARNATION
Making	an	angel	isn’t	the	ultimate	accomplishment	of	consciousness. Making
a	new	life	out	of	nothing	is. This	ability	is	known	as	reincarnation. The
popular	notion	of	reincarnation	is	simple:	we	die	and	come	back	as	somebody
else. But	how	does	the	soul	clothe	itself	in	a
new
	personality	in	order	to	be
reborn? In	a	culture	like	India,	where	reincarnation	has	a	strong	foundation,
people	want	to	know	why	they	are	born	with	certain	karmic	tendencies,	and
whole	groups	in	society—astrologers,	priests,	philosophers,	gurus—exist	to
explain	the	process	whereby	Karma	attaches	itself	to	a	soul	and	gives	rise	to	a
new	lifetime	of	experience. Most	people	are	aware	that	Tibetans	expect	their	religious	leaders,
including	the	Dalai	Lama,	to	reincarnate	as	a	baby	who	will	give	signs	of	his
identity. These	babies	are	almost	always	born	in	Tibet,	but	there	are	cases
where	they	can	appear	in	Europe;	for	example,	about	a	decade	ago	the	search
for	a	great	lama	led	Tibetan	investigators	to	a	family	in	Spain. In	India	noted
religious	figures	are	often	matched	to	illustrious	predecessors;	Mahatma
Gandhi	has	been	linked	by	his	followers	to	great	gurus	in	the	past. Who	is	to
say	which	match	is	valid? The	subject	becomes	very	complicated. There	are	Native	American	tribes	in	which	five	or	six	children	may	be
born	who	have	vivid	recollections	of	having	the	same	mother	in	a	prior
lifetime. There	are	similar	instances	in	Japan	of	children	who	remember
identical	experiences	in	a	past	life	in	World	War	II,	as	if	a	single	soldier’s	soul
fragmented	into	pieces,	each	of	which	was	reborn	separately. Experts	in	“soul
regression,”	which	takes	a	person	back	one	lifetime	after	another,	claim	that
memories	blend	and	become	absorbed. Thus	a	great	personage	like	Cleopatra
or	Napoleon	affects	the	recollections	of	an	entire	society,	and	people	in	later
lifetimes	remember	being	Napoleon	when	in	fact	their	lives	were	simply
touched	by	him	in	some	powerful	way. People	can	become	fascinated	by	the	game	of	“Who	was	I	in	a	prior
lifetime?”	or	even	“Didn’t	I	meet	you	in	a	former	life?”	But	I’ve	known
others	who	cover	their	ears	when	they	hear	the	word	“reincarnation,”distressed	by	the	notion	that	they	might	be	reborn	as	a	pig	or	a	dog. Reincarnation	offends	Christian	theology,	which	doesn’t	permit	a	second
chance	for	redemption	after	this	lifetime. Reincarnation	is
more
	forgiving. Mistakes	can	be	corrected;	whole	lifetimes	can	be	redeemed,	not	in	heaven
but	by	trying	on	a	new	body	and	repeating	the	same	events	that	produced
failure,	sin,	or	lack	of	fulfillment	the	first	time	around. Without	reincarnation	we	might	have	the	mistaken	idea	that	the	universe
is	ruled	by	death. Within	a	few	milliseconds	of	the	Big	Bang	96%	of	the
matter	and	energy	that	emerged	from	the	void	collapsed	back	into	it. The
remaining	fraction	still	winks	in	and	out	of	existence,	but	so	rapidly	that
matter	looks	solid	and	permanent. In	fact	everything	solid	is	transitory;	every
particle	in	existence	is	oscillating	in	and	out	of	the	void,	giving	the	illusion	of
solidity	because	our	senses	aren’t	quick	enough	to	catch	the	vibration. The
new	particle	that	emerges	is	never	exactly	the	same	as	the	one	that	vanished,
which	is	how	nature	manages	time,	location,	electrical	charge,	spin,	and	other
basic	properties	that	require	stability	and	change	simultaneously. The	same	is	true	for	you	and	me. We	exist	as	a	fluid	product	of	change
and	stability. Our	brains	look	the	same	from	moment	to	moment,	but	the
activity	of	neurons	is	never	exactly	the	same—a	brain	is	like	a	river	where
one	cannot	step	into	the	same	place	twice. DNA	reincarnates	when	the	genes
of	one	parent	split	in	half	in	an	act	of	creative	suicide	to	join	with	the	genes	of
the	other	parent. The	very	fact	that	DNA	can	replicate	itself	doesn’t	involve
the	death	of	the	mother	cell,	but	produces	new	genetic	material	that	leads	to
new	flesh,	and	the	root	word	of	incarnation	means	flesh,	from	the	Latin
carneus
. Humans	have	ambiguous	feelings	about	the	fact	that	we	are	made	of	flesh. It	befits	us	as	mammals	but	becomes	more	complicated	when	we	consider	the
dimension	of	spirit. Seeing	how	the	flesh	ages	and	decays,	how	it	betrays	us
with	illness,	one	may	not	be	happy	to	get	a	new	body	after	death—for	some
of	us	one	body	may	have	been	enough. Certainly	Christianity	takes	that
position,	its	rationale	being
that
	the	flesh	is	innately	corrupted	by	sin,	and
therefore	it	is	far	better	to	be	clothed	in	the	soul	after	death	than	to	go	through
recycling. The	East	has	managed	to	live	comfortably	with	reincarnation	for	several
reasons. If	the	universe	is	constantly	re-creating	itself,	we	would	be	the	only
aspect	that	isn’t	involved,	which	doesn’t	make	sense. And	psychologically,	if
I	can	come	back	again	into	a	new	body,	I	may	be	able	to	fulfill	desires	and
ambitions	that	were	thwarted	in	this	lifetime,	which	is	consoling. Even	more
consoling	is	the	possibility	of	meeting	loved	ones	I’ve	lost	(or	never	gained,	if
my	love	wasn’t	returned). Reincarnation	offers	hope	for	social	advancement:
a	slave	in	this	lifetime	might	come	back	as	a	noble	in	the	next. Finally,	the
cosmic	system	of	birth	and	rebirth	has	an	evolutionary	impulse	behind	it:step-by-step,	each	soul	rises	higher	in	the	soul’s	progress	to	God. Perhaps	it	is	not	a	question	of	belief,	East	versus	West. Reincarnation	may
be	a	question	of	choice. Consciousness	is	useful. We	shape	it	according	to	our
desires. Rather	than	being	the	final	word,	the	denial	of	reincarnation	by
Christianity	could	be	simply	a	collective	choice. Having	considered	all	the
relevant	factors,	a	large	sector	of	h


will be made, there will be a change of ways, life will be lived properly. The
psychology of such unwilling sacrifice is quite dif ferent from that of the
willing sacrifice. There are moments and seasons in one’ s life when genuine sacrifice of
the most valued thing is essential for further growth. If this sacrifice is not
made willingly, that is, consciously and with full conscious suf fering of the
loss, the sacrifice will occur unconsciously. One then will not sacrifice to
growth, but be sacrificed to growth gone wrong. By the same token, subsequent psychological and spiritual development is
capable of reversing the disease process. It’ s as though cancer ’s ener gy is
channeled into self-discovery, and the tumor is attacked by the immune
system. The tumor is now an estranged and unnecessary part. It’ s almost as
though the individual is reborn and rejects the old self, and its disease,
thereby becoming able to identify the tumor as something distinct and
separate from the new self. The change is strikingly similar to discoveries inrecent work with multiple-personality patients: One personality may be
diabetic, while the other is not. Aller gies and drug sensitivities may be
present in one personality but not in others. If one personality burns the
body with a cigarette, the mark may disappear when the other personality is
in control and reappear when the first personality reappears. Similarly,
when a patient with a physical illness makes a thorough and positive
personality change, the body’ s defenses may now eliminate the disease,
which is not part of the new self. OceanofPDF. comII
EMBODYING THE MIND

The world is not divine play, it is divine fate. That ther e are world, man, the
human person, you and I, has divine meaning. Creation—happenes to us, burns into us, changes us, we tr emble and
swoon, we submit. Cr eation—we participate in it, we encounter the cr eator,
offer ourselves to Him, helpers and companions. —M ARTIN BUBER
OceanofPDF. comBeginning the Journey
A patient’ s effort to take responsibility and participate in medical choices
must begin while he or she is still fighting the shock of the diagnosis and
trying to mobilize the will to live. As discussed in Chapter 2, it is the
doctor ’s duty to try immediately to for ge a bond of trust by learning and
accepting the patient’ s beliefs, conscious and unconscious. The quickest
way to develop patients’  trust and independence is simply to be human, to
share their pain, and avoid playing the role of a mechanic-lifesaver. But,
because so many doctors are caught up in that role, patients often must help
change them. Toward this end, I advise patients to insist on the following
Patient’ s Bill of Rights, in the form of an open letter to physicians:

Dear Doctor:
Please don’ t conceal the diagnosis. We both know I came to you to learn
if I have cancer or some other serious disease. If I know what I have, I
know what I am fighting, and there is less to fear. If you hide the name and
the facts, you deprive me of the chance to help myself. When you are
questioning whether I should be told, I already know. You may feel better if
you don’ t tell me, but your deception hurts me. Do not tell me how long I have to live. I alone can decide how long I
will live. It is my desires, my goals, my values, my strengths, and my will
to live that will make the decision. Teach me and my family about how and why my illness happened to
me. Help me and my family to live now. Tell me about nutrition and my
body’ s needs. Tell me how to handle the knowledge and how my mind and
body can work together. Healing comes from within, but I want to combine
my strength with yours. If you and I are a team, I will live a longer and
better life. Doctor, don’ t let your negative beliefs, your fears, and your prejudices
affect my health. Don’ t stand in the way of my getting well and exceeding
your expectations. Give me the chance to be the exception to your statistics. Teach me about your beliefs and therapies and help me to incorporate
them into mine. However, remember that my beliefs are the most important. What I don’ t believe in won’ t help me. You must learn what my disease means to me—death, pain, or fear of
the unknown. If my belief system accepts alternative therapy and not
recognized therapy, do not desert me. Please try to convert my beliefs, and
be patient and await my conversion. It may come at a time when I am
desperately ill and in great need of your therapy. Doctor, teach me and my family to live with my problem when I am not
with you. Take time for our questions and give us your attention when we
need it. It is important that I feel free to talk with you and question you. I
will live a longer and more meaningful life if you and I can develop a
significant relationship. I need you in my life to achieve my new goals. HELPING P ATIENTS MAKE CHOICES
I always try to get patients to see standard medical treatments—such as
radiation, chemotherapy, and sur gery—as ener gy that can heal them. They
buy time during which I can help the patient find the will to live, change,
and heal. Many of the disagreements over the worth of alternate therapies
arise because some people heal themselves no matter what external aids
they choose, as long as they have hope and some control over the therapy. I
support them as long as a patient has chosen them with a positive
conviction, not out of fear. When a patient says, “I’m scared to death of
surgery” and therefore chooses something else, I can’ t support that choice. Affirmation aids the body, fear is destructive. Treatment chosen out of fear
is unlikely to be helpful. I try to get patients to understand that the body  heals, not the therapy. All healing is scientific. At a recent conference, someone told me he knew
someone on a macrobiotic diet, someone else on a diet exactly the opposite,
and a third person on chemotherapy and radiation. All three got well, and
this person couldn’ t understand how the body could accomplish this or how
the treatments made any sense. But the body can utilize any form of ener gy
for healing—even Krebiozen or plain water—as long as the patient believes
in it. Let’s say I recommended eating three peanut butter sandwiches a day to
cure cancer. Some people would get well and claim it was the peanut butter
that did it. Then even more people would have hope, eat peanut butter, and
get better, too. But we know it’ s not the peanut butter. It’s their hope and the
changes they produce in their lives while they’re on the new therapy. The most important thing is to pick a therapy you believe in and
proceed with a positive attitude. Each person must chart his own course. One may want a comprehensive nutritional supplement program, while
another thinks taking dozens of pills a day is too much of a nuisance, and it
becomes counterproductive. Some can just “leave their troubles to God”
and be healed. Others need what I call the “football coach” method, in
which the patient plans every detail. I thought of the phrase while working
with Eileen, a patient who saw a hypnotherapist regularly, picked the date
for sur gery herself, and hired private-duty nurses. She made sure she was in
control of the situation and ready for every eventuality. She is alive and
well today, having recently celebrated a year cancer -free anniversary with a
big party at her house. Her message to others with cancer is, “Here’ s the
information. Go and do it. ”
Since cancer patients typically feel little control over their lives, to the
point where their own cells are in revolt, the mere fact of making a choice
can itself be a turning point. For Herbert Howe that moment came when he
decided to stop chemotherapy because it was making him too sick. His
oncologist told him he was crazy and would soon die. That angered Howe
so much that he wanted to hit his oncologist. Instead he went out and started
jogging. Since then, he has practically made a career out of exercise—
running, rowing, climbing mountains, and in general putting all his ener gy
into life and living. Seven years later he is free of disease. Training patients in meditation is one of the best ways to help them past
their fear to choices based on their own beliefs. This was dramatically borne
out by the experience of Bruce, a family therapist who took up meditation
after hearing one of my talks. Bruce had become addicted to opiates and
alcohol after using them for the pain of recovery from a skiing accident. He
developed severe liver disease and a portacaval shunt was recommended, to
allow the blood to bypass the diseased liver. While meditating, he heard an
inner voice saying, “Y ou have to turn the tide. ” The voice later gave him a
four-point program:
1. A week of intravenous vitamin C. 2. Daily meditation. 3. Consultation with a nutritionist. 4. Use of a computer. At this time Bruce knew nothing about the value of intr

Q: Who is the author of the book "Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices"?,
A: Dr. Norman W. Walker
Q: What is the primary cause of nearly every sickness and disease?,
A: The lack or deficiency of certain minerals, salts, and vitamins in our customary diet
Q: Why is it recommended to drink vegetable juices?,
A: To provide the body with the essential elements it lacks, which can be digested and assimilated quickly and efficiently
Q: What is the main issue with using a blender to extract juices?,
A: The appliance cannot extract all the enzymes and vital elements, and the pulp is still present, which can cause digestive issues
Q: What is the recommended way to get the enzymes, atoms, and molecules from the food?,
A: By properly extracting the juice, which includes pulverizing the fibers and then squeezing the pulp, allowing the body to assimilate the nutrients quickly and efficiently<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>This benefit, however, has been derived when all concentrated
starches and sugars were avoided altogether and when colonic
irrigations and enemas were used regularly to cleanse waste matter
from the system. CABBAGE JUICE
Duodenal ulcers have responded almost miraculously to the
drinking of cabbage juice. The only drawback is the frequent
generation of excessive gas. In any case, plain carrot juice has been
used with equal success and most people find it more palatable. Cabbage juice has wonderful cleansing and reducing properties. Sometimes it has a tendency to cause distress because of gas forming
in the intestines after drinking it. Such gas is the result of waste
putrefactive matter present in the intestines being broken up by the
cabbage juice, which causes a chemical reaction to set in and may
form gas. This is a natural condition—sulfuretted hydrogen, a foul
smelling gas, being the outcome of the cleansing elements in the juice
acting on and dissolving the waste matter. Enemas and colonic
irrigations help to remove both this excessive gas and the waste matter
causing it. 25 The most valuable properties in cabbage are the high sulphur and
chlorine content and the relatively large percentage of iodine. The
combination of the sulphur and chlorine causes a cleansing of the
mucous membrane of the stomach and intestinal tract, but this only
applies when cabbage juice is taken in its raw state without the addition
of salt. When excessive gas or other distress is experienced after drinking
raw cabbage juice, either straight or in combination with other raw
vegetable juices, it may be an indication of an abnormal toxic condition
within the intestinal tract. In such case it has been found advisable,
before much of the juice is used, to cleanse the intestines thoroughly
by drinking carrot, or carrot and spinach juice daily for two or three
weeks and taking enemas daily. It was found that once the intestines
were able to assimilate cabbage juice, it was invaluable as a cleanser,
particularly in the case of excessive adipose weight. When raw cabbage juice is added to raw carrot juice, it forms an
excellent source of Vitamin C as a cleansing medium, aiding
particularly where infection of the gums is present resulting in
pyorrhea. When boiled or dehydrated with excessive heat, however,
the effectiveness of the enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and salts is
destroyed. One hundred and twenty pounds of cooked or canned
cabbage could not furnish the same vital organic food value that is
assimilated from drinking one-half pint of straight raw cabbage juice
when properly prepared. Cabbage juice has been used very effectively to help the relief of
ulcers and constipation. As constipation is usually the primary cause
of skin eruptions, these have also been cleared up with the judicious
use of this juice. The addition of salt to cabbage or its juice not only destroys its
value, but is also harmful. RAW CARROT JUICE
Depending on the condition of the individual, raw carrot juice
may be taken indefinitely in any reasonable quantities—from one to
six or eight pints a day. It has the effect of helping to normalize the
entire system. It is the richest source of Vitamin A which the body
can quickly assimilate and contains also an ample supply ofVitamins
B, C, D, E, G, and K. It helps to promote the appetite and is an aid to
digestion. It is a valuable aid in the improvement and maintenance of the
bone structure of the teeth. 26 Nursing mothers should drink plenty of raw carrot juice, properly
prepared, to enhance the quality of their milk, as a breast milk diet
may under certain circumstances, not provide sufficient vital foods. During the last months of pregnancy, raw carrot juice, taken in
sufficient quantities, tends to reduce the possibilities of puerperal
sepsis at childbirth. One pint of carrot juice, daily, has more
constructive body value than 25 pounds of calcium tablets. Raw carrot juice is a natural solvent for ulcerous and cancerous
conditions. It is a resistant to infections, doing most efficient work in
conjunction with the adrenal glands. It helps prevent infections of
the eyes and throat as well as the tonsils and sinuses and the respiratory
organs generally. It also protects the nervous system and is unequalled
for increasing vigor and vitality. Intestinal and liver diseases are sometimes due to a lack of certain
of the elements contained in properly prepared raw carrot juice. When
this is the case, then a noticeable cleaning up of the liver may take
place, and the material which was clogging it may be found to dissolve. Frequently this is released so abundantly that the intestinal and urinary
channels are inadequate to care for this overflow, and in a perfectly
natural manner it is passed into the lymph for elimination from the
body by means of the pores of the skin. This material has a distinctly
orange or yellow pigment and while it is being so eliminated from the
body will sometimes discolor the skin. Whenever such a discoloration
takes place after drinking carrot or other juices, it is an indication
that the liver is getting a well-needed cleansing. It is NOT the carrot juice itself nor the carotene that comes through
the skin, as this discoloration will take place even if the juice is filtered
to the point of clearing it of all color pigment. It is just as practical an
impossibility for the carrot pigment itself to come through the skin as
it would be for the red pigment of the beet to turn the body red or the
chlorophyll of the green vegetables to paint the skin green from within. In any case, is it not better to have a healthy satin-like skin, even
though it may be slightly on the carrot shade, than to have the pasty
complexion which, together with its pimples and other blemishes,
publicizes the unhealthy condition of the body? Instead of becoming distressed over the appearance of skin
discoloration, which will in any case eventually disappear, we should
be gratified that the disintegration of the liver has been stopped or
prevented by the use of these juices. 27 This discoloration, however, can be somewhat retarded by slowing
up the process of cleansing by changing or adding other juices to the
particular one that causes such a rapid cleansing activity. The lack of sufficient rest, sleep and overwork may also result in
a certain amount of skin discoloration. The endocrine glands, especially the adrenals and the gonads,
require food elements found in raw carrot juice. Sterility is sometimes
overcome by its use. The cause of sterility has been traced to the
continuous use of foods in which atoms and enzymes were destroyed
by cooking or pasteurizing. Dry skin, dermatitis, and other skin blemishes are due to a
deficiency in the body of some of these food elements contained in
carrot juice. This is also a factor in eye trouble, as in ophthalmia,
conjunctivitis, etc. If properly extracted from fresh, clean, good quality raw carrots,
carrot juice is very rich in the vital organic alkaline elements sodium
and potassium. It also contains a good supply of calcium, magnesium,
and iron while the vital organic elements phosphorus, sulphur, silicon,
and chlorine balance perfectly with the former in their action and
reaction on the human system. As an aid to dissolve ulcers and cancer, raw carrot juice has proved
itself the miracle of the age. It was found essential, however, that it be
properly prepared and every vestige of concentrated sugar, starch and
flour of every kind be completely eliminated from the diet. One of the most insidious causes of ulcers and cancer has been
discovered in the victims nursing resentments for a long time, all too
often ever since childhood. Unless resentments are completely
dissolved, they can frustrate otherwise most effective attempts to help
the
