	the	dictates	of	sustainability	to	live	materially	smaller	lives,and	perhaps	this	is	true. But	spiritually,	we’re	being	called	to	live
bigger
	lives,
to	which	our	resistance	is	at	least	as	strong. I	once	heard	author	Stedman	Graham	suggest	that	even	the	most
accomplished	among	us	aren’t	yet	living	at	100	percent. His	point	lingered
with	me. I	wondered	where	the	other	20	percent	is	if	we	feel	that	we’re	only
living	at	80. Does	it	exist	on	a	shelf	somewhere	as	pure	potentiality,	waiting
to	be	brought	down	when	we’re	ready	to	make	it	manifest. Was	it	put	in	a
corner	of	God’s	Mind	for	safekeeping. And	if	we	open	the	flood	gates	to	our
full	potential	now,	do	we	get	to	retrieve	whatever	possibilities	we	failed	to
manifest	over	the	last	30	years. When	we	don’t	grow	in	certain	areas,	we	can	experience	a	kind	of	“flat
line”	while	those	around	us	gradually	climb	as	in	a	diagonal	line	on	a	graph. Yet	once	we	awaken	to	whatever	awareness	returns	us	to	the	natural	arc	of	our
soul	growth,	we	make	a	direct	vertical	ascent	to	the	place	we	were	supposed
to	be—where	we
would
	have	been,	had	we	not	tarried. This	often	happens
when	people	get	sober;	all	of	a	sudden,	positive	energy	springs	forth	that
they’d	suppressed	during	the	years	they	were	using. Even	if	you’re	not	an	addict,	just	by	living	in	this	society	you’ve	been	privy
to	an	addictive	system. President	Bush	was	right	when	he	pronounced
America	to	be	“addicted	to	oil”	(and	probably	a	few	other	things	as	well),	and
the	dysfunctional	patterns	spawned	by	that	addiction	extend	like	tentacles	into
all	our	lives. If	a	parent	is	an	alcoholic,	his	or	her	children	carry	the
psychological	weight	of	the	addict’s	unprocessed	issues. If	someone	steals	a
presidential	election,	the	citizens	of	the	country	carry	the	psychological
weight	of	that	guilty	secret. If	a	nation	invades	another	country	for	control	of
its	oil,	then	its	citizens	bear	the	collective	karma	and	resulting	guilt	of	being
involuntary	accomplices	to	what’s	now	euphemistically	called	“regime
change”	but	in	ancient	times	would	have	been	more	aptly	referred	to	as
“pillage	and	plunder. ”	These	forces	and	many	others	have	played	on	our
psyches,	suppressing	the	emergence	of	our	better	selves. No	wonder	so	many
of	us	have	gotten	depressed	or	emotionally	checked	out. These	are	very,	very
critical	times. It’s	time	to	get	emotionally	and	psychologically	sober	now	…	to	awaken
from	the	stupor	of	the	last	few	decades. To	claim	the	percentage	of	our
potential	that	we	haven’t	yet	manifested	and	go	for	that	100	percent. The	race
is	on. This	is	it. Let’s	pray. Let’s	go. O
UR	PROBLEM	ISN’T	THAT	WE	DON’T	THINK	LOVE
	is	an	important	thing;	our	problem	isthat	we	don’t	think	it’s	the
most
	important	thing. There	are	lots	and	lots	of
distractions	out	there. But	something	happens	when	you’ve	lived	through	enough. Children
suffering	needlessly	…	kids	going	off	to	war	…	people	dying	of	hunger	in	a
world	of	plenty—lesser	issues	begin	to	pale	in	comparison. A	day	comes
when	you	look	at	the	news	and	say,
What	the	hell	are	we	doing. It’s	horrible	to	contemplate,	but	terrorists	know	what
they’re
	doing. I	can’t
imagine	a	kind-of,	sort-of,	when-it’s-convenient,	casually	committed	terrorist. Terrorists	have	an	agenda,	that’s	for	sure,	and	they’ll	do	whatever	it	takes	to
further	it. Yet	our	biggest	problem	isn’t	just	that	a	relatively	few	people	hate
with	conviction;	it’s	that	not	enough	of	us
love
	with	conviction. With	every	thought	of	love,	we	participate	in	the	creation	of	a	unified	field
of	exponentially	greater	possibility	for	everyone. When	a	butterfly	flaps	its
wings	near	the	tip	of	South	America,	it	affects	the	wind	patterns	near	the
North	Pole. And	the	same	is	true	in	the	realm	of	consciousness:	Every	miracle
you	work	in	your	life	is	a	blessing	on	life	itself. A	couple	of	years	ago	the	Amish	of	Pennsylvania,	who	eschew	all	worldly
power,	showed	us	all	what	love	really	is. If	the	world	survives,	I	credit	them. When	some	of	their	little	girls	were	bound	and	shot	dead	by	a	crazed	gunman,
they	forgave	him. Let	me	repeat	that:	They
forgave
	him. On	that	day	our
entire	country	knew,	without	a	doubt,	that	we	were	in	the	presence	of	the	real
thing. Hard-boiled	newscasters	and	commentators,	who	don’t	get	humble	and
authentic	and	sincere	for	anybody,	got	humble	and	sincere	and	authentic	as
they	reported	this	story. According	to
A	Course	in	Miracles,
	all	minds	are	joined. No	mind	could	be
apprised	of	the	Amish	reaction	to	their	enormous	tragedy	and	not	be
transformed. By	their	own	demonstration	of	grace,	the	Amish	graced	us	all. Our	souls	were	touched	not	only	by	their	grief	but	by	their	spirituality	as	well. By	holding	to	the	light,	they	transcended	darkness	…	and	not	just	for
themselves. A	truer	crucifixion	of	the	Christ	could	not	occur,	nor	a	truer
resurrection	either. And	in	the	case	of	Jesus,	as	well	as	his	true	disciples	the
Amish,	millions	more	were	lifted	up. Love	is	to	fear	what	light	is	to	darkness;	in	the	presence	of	one,	the	other
disappears. When	enough	of	us	stand	in	the	light	of	true	love—not	a
simplistic	love,	but	the	strong	and	extraordinary	love	of	God—then	all	war
will	cease. But	not	until	then. Until	enough	of	us	learn	to	love	as	God	loves,
creating	a	force	field	of	holiness	to	purify	the	earth	and	dissolve	its	evil,	thenwe’re	going	to	continue	our	march	toward	planetary	disaster. Love
is
	the
answer. Yet	look	at	how	terrifying	that	thought	is	to	the	ego. We	find	that
notion—that	love	is	our	salvation—more	frightening	than	war,	do	we	not. We
resist	it	more	than	we	resist	nuclear	disaster. And	why. Because	the	love	of
which	I	speak	is	one	that	would	transcend	the	ego,	and	the	world	we	live	in	is
the	ego’s	delight. The	ego	knows	that	by	embracing	love,	we’re	destroying
it. But	those	are	our	only	choices,	really:	the	ego	will	survive,	or	we	will. N

transfiguration in consciousness. It brings one into
compassion. The inner serenity of the compassionate
person begins to see the perfection of creation. The
unconditional love of the Creator creates a oneness. The person begins to experience the oneness of all
beings. Therefore, all of life in all its expressions is
sacred. There is a beginning awareness of the sacred
ness of life and a merging into an illumined and
enlightened state of blissfulness and infmite peace in
which the total oneness of Creation brings an aware
ness of God as the essence of beingness itself. As I stood on top of the mountain in the presence
of the rattlesnake, what was it that entranced and
flXed both of us into a state of infmite peace and one
ness. I could not really say in that state of aliveness
that the life of the snake and my life were two differ
ent lives because it seemed as though they were one. The two were being controlled by the nature of the
One-that which brought what seemed to be the two
of us together as one experience. There was really
only one experience occurring. One might say that
the one experience was being experienced through
the two, or, the two were experiencing their oneness. 298 HEALING AND RECOVERY
Therefore, no thought of attack arose because the
energy field of that experience had already arisen. The feeling of infmite peace is often called the Peace
of God. There are certain teachings that say there are really
only two emotions-love and fear-and all the nega
tive feelings below Love are nothing but variations of
fear. We can see all of these expressions of fear-fear
of moral wrong, fear of the inability to survive and
exist, fear over the loss of the source of one's hap
piness, and anger over the intrinsic fear that 'not
getting' brings to· a person. Therdore, we could say
that these are forms of fear. There are really only two expression ofemotion
love, which starts at 500 and becomes infinite in its
expression, and fear, which begins at 100 and goes
ever downward in its expression. Therefore, the
handling of all the negative feelings arises out of the
willingness to accept that we have the power within
us to handle this inner fearfulness, to recognize that
we are the source of it, and to stop projecting it onto
the world or God. No one created a fearful world;
there is no such thing. The fearful world is within us. We carry it with us and thus we can let it go. We can
let the fear of the fear go, as well as fear itself, and
move into the presence of Love. CHAPTER 10
Pain and Suffering
This chapter will cover the subject ofthe alleviation of
pain and suffering. The world thinks that they are the
same thing, but we will show how suffering and pain
are actually different from each other. We will look at
the relationship between the physical, mental, and spir
itual aspects of the experience of the body. It is said that all diseases, illnesses, and human
problems are physical, mental, and spiritual, but what
does that really mean. As a physician for more than
fIfty years, I have learned about the physical aspects;
as a psychiatrist, I have learned about the mental
components; and in consciousness and spiritual
research and experience, I have learned about the
spiritual dimension. What is meant by spirit. Is it a fantasy, or is it some
thing real that we can work with. Is it something that
is only useful for religious people. What do we need to
know about'spirit' in order to experience the truth of
it for ourselves, and how can we utilize this knowledge
for the alleviation of our personal problems and those
of the people we love. We will learn how to handle acute and chronic
pain, and even more importantly, how to be with that
pain. There are two problems to address: The frrst is
how to handle the symptoms specifIcally and discover
what part hypnosis, acupuncture, and other modalities
play in the alleviation of pain. The second is to look at
the levels of consciousness and how they relate to the
experience. of pain. Again, we will be referring to the
Map of Consciousness, which shows the calibrated
299 300 HEALING AND RECOVERY
levels of energy, their relative power and direction, the
emotional component of each level, the process going
on in consciousness at each level and how that influ
ences our view of the world and of God, and how the
problem is resolved ifwe do not have a belief in a God. There will be clinical examples of problems I have
personally experienced and worked through using
these techniques, along with examples that have
worked for others. With these clinical experiences, we
can demonstrate certain principles of consciousness
that offer a benefit for our lives as a whole. What we
learn in studying one specific example then has other
applications, so we will be turning lemons into lemon
ade. We will learn how to transform something that the
world considers to be awful, such as pain, and how to
derive benefit from it and have our life prosper as a
result of the knowledge gained from the one specific
experience. In order to do this, we need to know some
thing about the nature of consciousness itself and how
that will help us in our lives in general. What is the nature of human experience. Where is
experience experienced. We will again look at the rela
tionship between body, mind, and spirit. Everybody
uses that phrase,"body,mind, and spirit,"butwhat does
it mean in a practical way. I became a scientist with a
skeptical, pragmatic mind. I am very impressed by
what works and am very unimpressed by the hypothet
ical and the theoretical. I am very interested in what
brings about results and what one can replicate
through one's personal experience. As said previously, the first thing to realize is that
the body has no capacity to experience itself. This is a 301 PAIN AND SUFFERING
surprising thought because we tWnk we are experienc
ing our body-we all tWnk we are our body. How does
the body get experienced. For example, the arm has no
way of experiencing its armness; the leg cannot expe
rience its being a leg. These parts are experienced
through sensations, as is the whole body. We do not
experience the body but experience the sensations of
the body. And where are these sensations of the body
experienced. They are experienced in the mind. Without a mind, we cannot experience what is going
on in the body, and we cannot experience the sensa
tions that tell us about the body. The experience ofthe
body is not occurring in the body; it is occurring in the
mind. That is the flfSt surprising thought to get used to. The next surprising thought is that the mind can
not experience itself. A thought cannot experience its
thoughtness; a feeling cannot experience its feeling
ness; and a memory cannot experience its own memo
ryness. The mind has to be in something greater than
itself in order to know what is going on in mind. And
what is that. One knows what is going on in mind
because of consciousness itself. The content of mind, and what is going on in
mind, is known through consciousness; therefore, all
experience is occurring in consciousness. One's
awareness of what is happening is occurring within
one's consciousness. For example, if a part of the
brain is cut, then that part of the mind is no longer
operative in the physical domain. If the area cut out is
the sensory region, then the opposite side of the body
is no longer experienced. Therefore, the body is expe
rienced by the mind via the brain. 302 HEALING AND RECOVERY
We know that if consciousness is eliminated, there
is no awareness of what is going on in the mind. That
is the purpose of anesthesia. Interestingly, conscious
ness itself is experienced from an even greater
domain. As this progresses, one realizes that the lesser
is always experienced from that which is the greater. The greater encompasses and allows the experience
of the lesser. Consciousness is then experienced in
the greatest domain, which is the one without limit
that includes awareness. It is the nature of awareness
being itself to know what is going on in conscious
ness. It is the nature of consciousness to know what
is going on in mind. It is the nature of mind to know
what is going on with sensations, and it is the nature
ofsensations to know what is going on with the body. It is important to know that all ordinary experience
is going on in consciousness alone. Where is that con
sciousness when we experience something. Where do
we experience it. Is there a place where consciousness
is located. Does it have a specific space or location. It is important to know that consciousness has no
particular space, no physical area, and no limitation. The common fantasy is "I experience things in my
head. " Actually, we do not experience them in the
head. Where do we experience a thought. We experi
ence a thought nowhere; there is no specific location
or space in which we


, as well as into
the blood stream. It stands to reason that this process should be stopped. However, surgery has
serious negative side effects. To start with, prior to the operation tranquilizers are administered to the patient to keep him
or her calm and prevent a rise in blood pressure. This is followed by local or general anesthesia
for the operation, plus fairly heavy doses of antibiotics. On waking up, the patient is in pain and
receives several doses of pain-relieving drugs. In sum, many damaging toxins are introduced into
the patient’s organism. In recent times, another problem has emerged. Due to the excessive use of antibiotics and
poor hospital hygiene, so-called “Superbugs” have come into being, which are resistant to all
available antibiotics. As a result, large numbers of patients are infected in hospitals with powerful
staph (staphylococcus aureus) bacteria that can’t be controlled. Especially for cancer patients
who already have a weak immune system, such infections can be life threatening.Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.comNevertheless, under certain circumstances surgery is urgent and must be performed quickly to
save a life. Such a situation could arise from the development of thick scar tissue that is blocking
an organ; it could be bleeding from a large blood vessel, damaged by invading cancer, that has
to be stopped; or a patient may be injured in an accident and the damage needs to be repaired
urgently. But often surgery does not have to be immediate. For instance, when a patient on the
full Gerson Therapy needs to go to hospital for some non-urgent surgical procedure, there is just
enough time to make sensible preparations for the event. It should be borne in mind that once a person is well detoxified, his or her body will react much
more strongly to drugs, including anesthetics, pain medication and even antibiotics. If a more
or less detoxified Gerson patient tries to discuss this concern with the regular hospital surgeon
and/or anesthesiologist, they simply will not understand what he or she is talking about. For that
reason it is best to prepare the body to accept the unavoidable drugs by making it temporarily less
sensitive, even though unfortunately this means reducing the effectiveness of the therapy. The
way to do it is to double the regular daily helping of yogurt, and to serve two or three meals of
boiled or broiled fish just prior to entering the hospital. This actually puts a temporary stop to the
body’s self-healing activity. After any necessary surgical procedure it is advisable to leave the hospital as soon as
possible. On returning home the full therapy is resumed, even omitting yogurt for a week or
so and stepping up the enemas temporarily to four or more, in order to clear out the toxins that
have been introduced. Afterwards the patient returns to the level of treatment he or she was using
before preparing for the hospital visit. Diagnostic Surgery
When a mammogram or MRI discovers a ‘suspicious’ lump or ‘shadow’ in the breast area,
the doctor as well as the patient need to know the exact nature of the lump. The physician will
usually suggest an urgent biopsy and examination of a tissue sample, to ascertain the situation. The next step is a “lumpectomy,” i.e., the removal of the breast lump. If in the surgeon’s
experience this is likely to be malignant, he will also examine the surrounding tissue, especially
checking the underarm lymph nodes to see if the malignancy has spread. The problem is that when
he starts to dissect the lymph nodes, he is likely to take out not just one or two, but as many as
eight or ten. In orthodox medicine this is done to give the oncologist the information he requires
for choosing what he considers appropriate chemotherapy drugs for the patient. However, if the
latter has already decided to reject chemotherapy, it is pointless to remove a lot of lymph nodes. To do so would damage her circulation and cause swelling of her arm, due to the accumulation of
blocked fluid, and this in turn would lead to severe discomfort and even make the arm virtually
useless.Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved. This material may not be reproduced in any medium, print or electronic without prior written permission from the author.Page 141Healing the Gerson Way—Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases
www.thegersonway.comSo how can this risk be avoided? As a matter of routine, before any surgery the doctor requires
the patient to sign a release, stating that he is allowed to do anything he deems necessary or best,
under whatever circumstances he may encounter. If the patient agrees to such a general release,
she may end up having too many lymph nodes removed. Instead, she should state in the release
that she does not agree to the removal of more than two lymph nodes. Radiation
Radiation can be used for medical diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. The earliest exposure
of patients to radiation is in the form of X-rays, for diagnostic purposes. These are comparatively
the least harmful. Other diagnostic tools include CAT scans (CT, Computed Tomography
Imaging), which uses a large amount of X-rays to produce detailed images from several angles
of the patient’s body, arm or leg. The only diagnostic tool that does not use X-rays is Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI), which utilizes radiofrequency waves and a strong magnetic field to
produce clear pictures of internal organs and tissues. If the initial investigation results in a cancer diagnosis, the patient is advised to have a course
of radiotherapy, usually consisting of 30 treatments. Although the technique has been greatly
improved in recent years, aiming to limit the radiation solely to the affected area of the patient’s
body, severe damage in the form of burns can still occur. According to the official allopathic view,
radiation burns are virtually impossible to heal; yet the damage is almost entirely reversible by the
Gerson technique. Dr. Gerson’s book, A Cancer Therapy—Results of 50 Cases, features a patient
(Case #11) who had been pre-treated with 88 applications of deep X-rays, and was left severely
burned. Worse still, his cancer recurred. Interestingly on the Gerson Therapy his spreading
lung tumors and lymph nodes disappeared faster than the radiation burns. However, he healed
completely and lived for almost 50 years in good health. In cases of oral cancers radiation treatments are particularly destructive, since they cause
the salivary glands to dry up. The resulting dry mouth keeps the patient from sleeping and
requires constant sipping of water, to moisten the dry mouth. Yet we have seen patients’ mucous
membranes reverting to normal after radiation damage in less than two weeks on the Therapy. In general, Gerson doctors rarely use radiation treatments. There is only one specific case in
which they can be useful, namely in easing the extreme pain of bone cancers or bone metastases,
which are difficult to control and heal more slowly than malignancies in soft tissues. In order to
help the patient, a very few (sometimes just 3-5) radiation treatments are used to stop the advance
of the tumor and alleviate the pain. Radiation is preferable to pain management with drugs,
which—being toxic—interfere with healing. Since radiotherapy makes drugs unnecessary, the
bone can heal and the pain does not return.Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved. This material may not be reproduced in any medium, print or electronic without prior written permission from the author.Page 142Healing the Gerson Way—Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases
www.thegersonway.comChemotherapy
Since about 1960, chemotherapy has been one of the main tools of orthodox cancer therapy. It has many varieties, but they all have one thing in common: they are highly toxic. The purpose
of using them is to kill cancer cells and thus eradicate malignant tumors. However, no form of
chemotherapy exists that doesn’t also kill healthy cells. The way these toxic chemicals are supposed to work is by interfering with the metabolism of
malignant cells and stopping their rapid division. They do this; but there are other cells and tissues
in the human body that also divide rapidly, namely the bone marrow, which among other things
produces the white blood cells essential to immunity, the mucous membranes of the intestinal
wall, and the hair follicles. These are seriously damaged by the chemotherapy’s toxins, resulting
in reduced immune function, nausea, vomiting, intestinal bleeding, mouth ulcers and loss of
hair. Eventually the damage becomes much wore. Patients report loss of memory, children have
learning difficulties. Heart, lung and kidney damage have been reported, together with a much
higher incidence of infections. Chemotherapy drugs are subject to constant innovations, often motivated by financial
considerations. One of the latest drugs, Gemzar, that had originally been accepted for the
treatment of lung and breast cancer, has now also been cleared for use in advanced ovarian
cancer. There is no evidence to show that this drug extends life; on the other hand it worsens the
side effects of previously used chemotherapy drugs; however, it is very expensive. Recent reports
state that one course of Gemzar treatment, consisting of six doses given over six months, costs
about US$12,600. Chemotherapy can claim a few triumphs, achieving true cures. But these are limited to rare
and special cancers, such as for instance women’s cancer of pregnancy


. This is because
bronchitis and pneumonia are not diseases but are merely inflammatory/
congestive conditions trying to be eliminated by the body. Your symptoms
can become worse and penetrate deeper because you did not allow the lungs
and bronchi to clean themselves out properly the first time. Throughout your life no one told you that many of the foods you were
eating caused this congestion in the first place. So you continued eating foods
that created additional accumulations of mucus and congestion. After a while,
the body again reached the point where it needed to clean these congestions,
and this caused you to experience an even deeper level of cleansing. If you always stop your body from eliminating the congestion and toxins
that you put into it, eventually you can create lymph node swelling, and then
tumors, from holding all these toxins and mucus too long. Your whole body comes into play during these cleansing cycles—or
what we call a “healing crisis,” which may include fevers, sweats, coughing,
mucus discharge, diarrhea, skin rashes and much more (See
Module 6.6
,
The
Healing Crisis). During these healing crises the functioning of your immune
system is enhanced, as well as your eliminative organs, including the skin. This is why it is important never to treat, but to detoxify and regenerate. In
the detoxification process the body will clean itself out. Many people,
including healthcare practitioners, do not understand this process as they
should. True Naturopathy includes the science of detoxification and cellular
regeneration. Because of the status-quo “treatment” mentality, many people
use natural products, such as vitamins, minerals and herbs to treat symptoms. I use only herbs to assist the body in its detoxification efforts and to enhance
the function of cells in related or weakened tissues, organs and glands. Herbs
are also highly nutritious, as they are non-hybrid vegetables.Common sense is, in medicine, the master workman. — Anonymous

MODULE 6.2
Obstructions and Detoxification

In reviewing acidosis it is important to learn its effects not only on the cells,
but also on the nutrients and constituents you consume by eating, drinking
and breathing. The word associated with acidosis is “anionic,” which means
basically a state or condition of coagulation. In other words, when the body
becomes acidic from what you eat, drink and/or breathe, this sets up a chain
reaction causing inflammation and a clustering of the nutrients that are in the
blood and tissues of your body. The reason for digestion is simply to break down and separate food
compounds (like proteins or complex sugars) into their simplest forms
(amino acids, simple sugars, etc.) so the cells can use them (catabolic
processes). With this understanding, you can see that by “clustering” these
simple elements or compounds, the cells can’t use them. They become
“obstructions,” which are now called “free radicals.” These free radicals are
like terrorists to the body and can damage your cells. Added to the above is the accumulated mucus and congestion from the
reaction of your mucosa to stimulants, foreign proteins and abrasive foods. This mucus, of course, becomes highly obstructive. Most of us know this
well from sinus blockages, sore throats, blurred vision, and other congestive
conditions. Pain is a sign of obstructions or blockages. Pain is a reflex condition
wherein the energy that is constantly flowing through the pathways of the
body becomes blocked and bottled up. The body will also send additional
energy to areas that need healing, since energy is the healer. However, this
can create even greater energy blockages. As previously stated, acidosis from
acid-forming elements creates inflammation, which in turn can create energy
obstructions. Acupuncture, acupressure and therapeutic touch are modalities
that “unblock” the “dammed-up” energy and allow it to start flowing again.This unblocking will relieve the pain in most cases, and also increase blood
and lymph flow to the related areas. You must remove the obstructions and acidosis. If you don’t, the cause
remains, as you’ve only treated the effect, which can be swelling, pain, or
other symptoms. These are nothing more than the natural defenses of the
body in response to the cause. Detoxification is the only logical answer that
will yield a lasting cure. Alkalization is the method by which detoxification
starts. Alkalization neutralizes acidosis. Detoxification not only alkalizes the
body, but also gives the body the added energy it needs to clean itself out. MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL DETOXIFICATION

True detoxification must take place from all levels within you. We have been
talking throughout this book about the power that your mind and emotions
have upon your health. If you want to be successful in attaining true health
and vitality, you must detox your thoughts, emotions
and
 your physical
body. All matter is comprised of atoms, which are the basic building blocks of
the universe. The movement of these atoms creates electromagnetic energy,
which creates magnetism. Movement creates, and is a reflection of, two
opposite poles or forces—positive and negative. Energy simply fluxes
between these two opposites. These twins are called the
yin
 (negative) and
yang
 (positive) in Chinese Medicine. These positive and negative energies,
although being of the same essence, have different effects upon you and your
body. For example, the emotional states of anger and love will affect your
thoughts and your physical body in different ways. Anger creates stress and
constricts the blood and lymphatic flow within the body. It shuts down the
liver and pancreas, affecting digestion. It overstresses the adrenal glands
causing excessive hormone and neurotransmitter release. All this causes
acidosis. Love, on the other hand, creates the opposite. It increases the blood
and lymph flow. It improves digestion and kidney elimination. And it
alkalizes your body. Anger obstructs and restricts, and love opens and
expands. You could also say that anger causes “dis-ease” and love heals. From a spiritual viewpoint each of our emotions is integral to creation,
for the whole is merely the sum of its parts. They will each have their own
lessons to teach you. You can judge whether one is good or bad for you atany particular time and respond accordingly, or you can merely observe the
flow of these emotions and their opposites, not allowing them to affect you in
any way, unless you want them to. You must decide what you want in your
life and in your body. I will let you in on a little secret. When you begin to increase the energy
of your physical body through detoxification, you will start detoxifying in
all
your bodies. Thoughts and emotions stick like glue to your cells and create
subtle obstructions that you can carry for a lifetime (some say for many
lifetimes). So, if you start crying or yelling during your detoxification
process, this is the reason. Let it all come out. Be observant of your thoughts
and feelings, and try not to hold on to anything. Let these obstructions go. In
this way, your river of energy and love can dominate inside you once again. This is truly the road to vitality and spirituality. MODULE 6.3
How Do We Get the Body to Detoxify? Ours is an alkaline species. Acid-forming foods cause inflammation and
congestion in the body, creating an anionic situation. This reaction causes
nutrients, blood cells, etc., to start sticking together, and encourages the
formation of lipids and oxalate stones of all types. Thus, nutrients become
unavailable to cells, which leads to cellular starvation. Because acidosis is inflammatory and destructive to cells, the body will
use steroids, electrolysis, water, lipids (cholesterol), and other things to fight
this. This causes dehydration both extracellularly and intracellularly. The first thing to do is to change the intake from acid-forming foods to
alkaline-forming foods. Consumption of alkaline-forming foods, which are
mainly fruits and vegetables, will begin the detoxification and rehydration
process. If you wish to speed up the cleansing process, these fruits and
vegetables must all be raw, i.e., uncooked and unprocessed. If you wish to
dig deeper into tissue and speed the process up even further, you can switch
to all raw, fresh fruits only. Fruits have the highest amounts of antioxidants
and astringent properties of all foods. Their sugars are slow burning but
powerful, and will enhance the vitality of cells faster than any other food, and
with much less digestive effort. They also have the highest electricalproperties of any food. The energies in raw fruits are so
high that they speed
up neuron transport and endocrine function.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

such as tobacco, alcohol, coffee, tea, cola drinks and “pep

Stop your life from an out-of-control down spiral! Become the Health Captain of
your life by following The Bragg Healthy L ifestyle – start today! – Patricia BraggOutwit Acidosis That Affects Millions
It has taken me all these years of research and study
to discover the great fact that the bloodstream should
be alkaline. Yet, with most of us, it is in an acid state. From headache and indigestion, to pimples and thecommon cold, most problems arise from acidosis due
to self-poisons caused by unhealthy foods. When the
life stream is so polluted, how can our immune systemdefend the body against disease and illness? People
unwittingly prepare the body for sickness with their
unhealthy lifestyle and then let it be out of control, whilethey search for a magic pill that will work miracles! Now if you are as naive as I was, you will ask, “What
can I do to counteract this supposed acidity? How can Icleanse my blood?” The answer is: “By supplying it with
alkaline-forming healthy foods.” At the first sign of
acidosis (heartburn, bloating, tired, etc.) go on a
3 day
water fast. After fasting, switch to alkaline-forming
healthy foods and be wise, always avoid unhealthy foods! What Are Alkaline-Forming Foods? “But what are alkaline-for ming foods?” Y ou ask. They
are, generally speaking, organic, raw fruits and vegetables,
salads and leafy greens and lightly steamed vegetables. Three-fifths of your diet should be composed of fruits
and vegetables, both raw and cooked. It’s alw ays best to
enjoy your raw fresh fruit  or a raw vegetable garden salad
before you eat any cooked foods. See recipe on page 231. The alkaline forming foods are the most important
to your body. Some of you will say, “raw fruits and
vegetables give me gas, etc.” That is because you are on
the acid side and, when you eat the alkaline foods, theystart to houseclean and move the toxins out of your
bloodstream and body. So you avoid eating them and
use the weak excuse that they don’t agree with you. Theydo agree with you and your toxic body definitely needs
them to help get you clean, healthy and alkaline!35
Bad cooking diminishes happiness and shortens life. – Wisdom of AgesRaw, Organic Fr uits and Vegetables
Are Mother Nature’s Miracle Cleansers
When you get a bad reaction from certain raw fruits
and vegetables, remember that these are cleansing and
purifying foods. Use a small amount until you can reduce
your body’s toxic poisons. Your weekly 24 hour fast is
going to get rid of a lot of your body wastes. If you have
the intestinal strength to fast for 3 to 7 days, most
troubles from cleansing foods disagreeing with you willbe over. What are the acid-forming foods? Chiefly sugar,
its products and coffee, tea, alcohol, meats and fish. No doubt the idea of excluding even a portion of the
latter will dismay you, but if you want to live agelessly
you must do many things at first that dismay you. Eventually you will be dismayed at your dismay. Often anew task is difficult because you think it will be. Tackle it
with the idea that it is easy and it becomes easier! Living
on a diet composed mainly of organic fruits, veggies,salads, nuts and seeds isn’t difficult. No one will denythat fruits are luscious. Salads may be enjoyed in great
variety. The list of vegetables is long and diversified. All
the raw nuts and seeds, raw or lightly roasted pecans,almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, etc. are
nutritious and delicious. You need not confine yourself
to these foods, but if you lean towards acidosis you shouldcombine fasting with a diet of fruits, salads and veggies. If you must eat meat, it should be only
2 or 3 times
weekly. On the least symptom of feeling bad, it’s best toget back to the healthier vegetarian alkaline diet quickly. Headaches, dizziness, specks in the vision, bitterness in
the mouth, body fatigue and mental blockage merelydenote a bile attack, but again the disorder may be more
deep seated. If you think it’s your liver, you should cut
out all fats and flesh foods. Also, cut out all refined sugarsand refined starches. The little protein you need you
can get from organic healthy plant sources, beans, raw
nuts and seeds, sprouts, etc. The Vegetable Protein %Chart on page
233 gives some healthy food-to-eat  ideas.36
It’s never too late to begin getting into shape,
but it does take daily perseverance. – Thomas K. CuretonWe live not upon what we eat, but upon what we digest. – Abernethy
To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals. – Ben FranklinYour Mind Must Control Your Body
Prudently assume, that your condition is one of
autointoxication. If you feel your energy is at a low ebb,
and not up to par, go on a short fast lasting from 24
hours to 3 or 4 days. Drink nothing but pure, steam
distilled water. I will tell you more about water later. You will experience a craving for food, but not an
actual hunger. It’s the body reflexes that are accustomedto being fed at certain intervals. Again let me state, “Flesh
is dumb!” It has all kinds of cravings, but you must be its
master. You must control your entire body with yourmind – your human miracle computer. I readily admit
that fasting takes immense determination and willpower. I remember very well my first
4 day fast. It was while
I was under the care of the famous Dr. A. Rollier at his
sanitarium in Switzerland. I was battling for my life with
tuberculosis and I had been at the sanitarium for severalmonths. Dr. Rollier told me it was going to be a great
experience – and it surely was! The good doctor told me
to study my urine daily, so each day I took a specimenof my urine and kept it in a bottle. I put it on a shelf inmy room and I would look at the specimens each day. As the urine would cool and settle I could see the great
amount of foreign matter that was leaving my body. As soon as I finished the fast, I was placed on a highly
alkaline diet with an abundance of fresh fruits and raw
and lightly steamed or baked vegetables. About 2 weeksafter the fast, I experienced a sense of exhilaration and
well-being that I had never known in my entire life! From that time on my health and vitality grew by
leaps and bounds! That was not my only fast under Dr.
Rollier’s supervision. He started me out with a
24 hour
weekly fast and in the next 9 months, put me on a 7, 14
and 21 day fast. Between fasts I was fed an alkaline diet.37

Because acidosis is more of a negative than a positive
ill, you should beware of it. Have you ever said, “Oh,
I’m a little off color; low on energy; a bit blue for no real
reason. Everyone has their off days. It seems to be a partof life.” Nothing of the kind! You can maintain yourself
in a state of consistent good health, not spasmodic good
health. You can come to consider your body a finemachine, one that with proper care will never go wrong. At the first suspicion of acidosis, analyze your diet. A
grayish tongue, a snappish temper, a flushing of the face;these are not too trivial to heed! They are signs of red
flashing danger! Perhaps today they might not amount
to much, but tomorrow they will be more insistent.Acidosis is insidious and accumulative in its action; and

abstract,  being a knowledgc aboul  1hings rathcr
than of chings. Memory nevcr caplllres the
esscnce, the present in - tensity,  the concrete
reality  of an experience. lt is, as TJIE  WISOOM  OF INSECURITY
it were, the corpse of an experience, from which
the life has vanished. What  we know  by memory,
we know only al secondhand. Memories  are dead
be- cause  fixed. The memory  of your deceased
grand - mother can only repeat what your
grandmother was. But thc  real,  present
grandmother could always  do or say someLhing

would  do next. There  are, Lhen,  two ways  of understanding  an
ex-
perience. The firsl is to compare it with the
memories  of ocher expcriences, and so lO name
and define il. This  is to imcrpret it in accordance
wilh  che dead  and the pase. The second is  lO be
aware  of it as it  is, as when, in the intensity of joy,
we forget past and  future, let the present be all,
and thus do not even  stop  to Lhink,  "I am
happy. " Both  ways  of understanding  have  their  uses. fiul Lhey corrcspond to the difference  between
knowing  a thing  by words  and knowing  it
immec \iately. A menu  is very useful. but it is no

with  the country  it describes. Thc point,  then,  is
that whcn wc try to understand  the prescm  by
comparing  ic with  mernories,  we do nol
u11derstand  itas deeply  as whcn  we are aware  of
it withoul  comparison. This,  however,  is usually
the way  in which  we approach  unpleasant
expcriences. Instead  o( being  aware  of them  as

or lonely person begins at once to think, 'Tm

experi - cnce. We don't want to be awarc o{ this
prcscnt. But  as we cannot get out of the present,
our only escape is  into mcmories. Here we feel on
safe ground, far the  past is the fixed and the
known -but also, of course,  thc dead. Thus to try
to get out of, say, fear we en - deavor at once to
be separate from it and to "fix" it  by interprcting
it in terms of mcmory, in tcrms of  what is
already fixed ancl known. In ocher words, wc  try
to adapt ourselves to the mystcrious prcscnt by
comparing it with the (remembered) past, by
naming  and  "identifying"  it. This  would  be all very  well  if you  were  trying
to
get away from something from which you can
get away. lt is a useful process for knowing whcn to
come  in out of the rain. Bue it does not tell you
how to live  with things from which you cannot
get away, which  are already pare of yourself. Your body does not  eliminate  poisons  by
knowing  their  names. To try to control fear or
depression or boredom by calling  them names
is to resort to superstition of trust in curses  and
invocations. lt is so casy to see why this does not work. Ob- viously, wc try to know, name, and define
fear in  order to make it "objective," that is,
separate from  "l. " Bue  why  are we trying  to be
separate  from  fear. Because  we are afraid. In
other  words,  fear  is trying
93 TME  WISDOM  OF INSECURITY
to separate itself from fear, as if one could fight
fire with  fire. And this is not ali. The more we accustorn our -
selves  LO understanding  the present  in terms  of
memory,  the unknown by the known,  the living
by the dead,  the more  desiccatcd  and embalrned,
thc more  joyless  and frustrated  life bccomes. So
pro- tected  from life, man becomes a sort of
mollusc en - crusted in a hard shell of "tradition,"
so that when at last reality  breaks  through,  as it
must,  che tide of  pent -up {ear  runs  wild. If, on the other hand, you are aware of fear, you
realizc  that,  becausc  this feeling  is now  yourself,
escape  is impossible. You  see that  calling  it "fear"
tells you little or nothing about it, far the compari -
son and the naming is bascd, not on past
experience,  but on memory. You have then no
choice bue to be  awarc of it with your whole bcing
asan entircly new  expericnce. lndeed, every
expcrience is in this sense  new, and at every
moment of our lives we are in the midst of the
new and  the únknown. At this point  you receive
the experience  without  resisting  it or naming it,
and the whole sense of conAict  between  'T' and
the present  rcality  vanishes. Far most  of us this conAict  is ever  gnawing
within
us because our lives are one long effort to resist
the unknown, the real present in which we live,
which is the unknown in the midst of coming into
being. Liv - ing thus,  we never  really  leam  to
live with  it. At

every moment we are cautious, hesitant, and on

stand that it brings into play altogether new

describe how this absorp•  tion works as to

 only a complete absence of past experience to be drawn upon, but no symptom of distress following the ingestion of such substances, for symptoms  to some offending agent take
millions of years to evolve. So it is that the causes of the most
terrible, life-destroying diseases remain ignored, and syptomless, calling for no readjustments, until the body is literally overwhelmed, as is the case in many cancers. Today, every contact with the environment is contaminated
with such unnatural substances. A re cent attempt to draw up a list of
such substances ran into tens of thousands. Every year, hundreds are
being added. The official attitude  to such a dangerous situation—
that a substance cannot be conde mned until it is proved harmful—
shows a complete disdain of biological principles. Those relying on this test are mostly guilty men, often aware of the harm ultimately
likely, but more concerned with  expediency than with human
wholeness. It is often contended that the situation cannot be as bad as the
pessimists claim, for has not the human life span been extensively
increased, and are not many, once crippling diseases conquered? Medical and scientific journalists, often not scientists themselves,
are in the habit of hinting that such achievements are thanks to science's conquest over nature's natural infirmities, implying that the 'natural' life-span has been extended,  that a naturally sick nature has
been corrected. This is biological nonsense. Every species of animal
has a genetically set life-span, a setti ng closely related to its rate of
growth. If this correlation is applied to man, the most slowly
developing of all creatures, then the human life-span should be well over a hundred years. All that science has in fact achieved is the removal of unsanitary conditions and the control of diseases inherent in such conditions. The unhealthiness of Ice Age
Palaeolithic humans can be seen in the pathological torturings of
their bones, but the worst ravag es of unhealthiness probably only
came with the urbanization of livi ng, in the earliest civilizations. There are hints that when the Ice Ages ended, and before the rise of
the first civilizations, human beings lived long, whole lives, a length which has not been fully recovered. There are still isolated
peasantries in which many indivi duals live well over the century. Quite recently, as the functional collapse intensifies in soaringly degenerative diseases, the cancers and heart diseases in particular, there has been a dip in the life- span. Far from confidence in the
apparent successes of science and medicine, there should be alarm,
for while the diseases that have b een corrected, due to pathogenic
organisms, only affect individuals, the degenerative diseases entail a
definite genetic impoverishment. Here again, one is faced with a barrage of propaganda,
optimistic and pontifical, that some  success has been achieved, that
cancers can be cured. But for one case surviving a number of years
after operation and treatment, dozens die, for all the vast agitations
of worldwide research. Some cancers undoubtedly begin quite locally, as in the case of radiation damage, and if removed in time, survival is assured. But in most cases, the localized appearance of a
cancer is only a stage in what is a general underlying pathology, involving the entire body, so evident in the leukaemias. Medicine
has yet to admit that most diseases of such a nature are not
localized, but entail a failure of the entire organism, an admission which would entail a revolution in medical philosophy, away from its present mechanical concepts, to more holistic ones. There are at the moment indications that something in this direction is
happening, in the admission that exercise and diet are the best ways
of preventing heart attacks, that years of over-eating are likely to
end in diabetes, and that possibly the best if not the only way of combating many kinds of cancer is through the body's own abilities to react. But evidently, before ther e can be a real change of heart,
there has to be a fundamental change  in ideology, in the world-view
of science, in its attitudes to man and nature, and judging the slowness of progress in this dir ection, one can be excused for
doubting that there is sufficient survival time. 14. Food Fit for Humans

Basing oneself on the humanizing aesthetic criteria, and making use
of the scientific evidence that co mplies with them, one can define
the ideal human diet as one beautiful and refreshing, consisting of
fruits in abundance, of seeds a nd nuts, of cereals and tender shoots
and leaves, of flowers, eaten in the raw. Unfortunately, given the
present-day interferences in natural fo ods, it is unlikely that such an
ideal dietary is possible, for almost all foods available today, are
produced from unnatural, variously disturbed soils. Sadly therefore,
no longer is a purely simple wisdom adequate. This is where a
science, serving the human condition rather than undermining it,
can help. Treating the soil as nothing but a physical medium is the result
of a materialistic, mechanical attitude to life and nature generally. While at first this seemed justified by the enormously increased yields which resulted from chemical fertilizers, it has become ever
more apparent that the soil is a living medium, seriously
undermined by such crude stimuli, and that foods grown on such disturbed soils lack substan ces indispensable to animals. Since the work of McCarrison in India over half a century ago,
it has been known that organically defective soils produce crops with a lowered vitamin B content. One of these vitamins in
particular, Vitamin B
12, is more or less completely absent in such
crops. Vitamin B 12 is an exceptional and extraordinary substance,
still something of a mystery although its chemical nature is fully known.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        The natural tendency for love  to spread out into non-sexual
directions gives an indication of how sexual love itself should
evolve among lovers, in a form the most congenial and useful to society. The pristine rapture of sexual love cannot last, and is not designed to do so, but rather to be progressively replaced by compassion, in the teaming of procreation, with interests shared,
and, with advancing years, in a heightening social and spiritual
involvement. Living, loving and ageing in such an atmosphere of evolving love, the human being is assured of a meaningful participation in the function and structure of family and society. And most other cultures have believed that human society symbolically reflects the underlying structure of Creation. Such a definition of sexual love is so contradicted by the usual
expression of sex in industrial societies, that it must appear as unreal and Utopian. Yet there is sufficient evidence that sexual love, rather than just sex, is the normal human pattern among simpler peoples, and among those few fortunate primiti es still surviving in the more
benevolent habitats. Having a top biological priority in humanization, one can
understand why the joys that attend the achievement of sexual love are the highest that can come to  the human being, and why the
failure to achieve love is accompanied by the most terrible misery and frustration, anger and hatred. Contrary to what the Freudians
have claimed, guilt is a biologica lly implanted reprimand for sexual
patterns which fail to comply with the needs of humanization. Since the precarious wholeness of the mind depends on the unifying forces of love, beauty and harmony, the failure to find love is punished by the most satanic of afflictions—an unwhole and
disturbed mind. The failure to achieve sexual love, more evident today than
ever before, is to be seen in the breakup of the family, in selfish sexual opportunisms in the common uncaring for the young, and, as
a result of this dehumanization of sexuality, in a soaring juvenile destructiveness and anger, in a general feeling of having been
cheated of life's promise. Neglected, unloved, without the guidance
which only genuine loving is entitled to provide, it is not surprising that the young have rebelled against the prurient standards set by callous and insensitive adults. The generation gap is the inevitable
result of an older generation felt to  be corrupt and lewd, the makers
of a civilization which has become inhuman in its materialistic and
opportunist preoccupations. While it is true that many young subscribe in their own ways
still to this civilization—imitation is after all the Simian way of learning—there are also those who have managed to recover something of the lost innocence, even  if drugs have played their part
in this recovery. So demented is the sexual demand, so blind the preoccupation
with orgasmic relief, that the c onclusion one is dealing with a
pathological process appears irresi stible. And there can be no doubt
that the increase of social violen ce has gone hand in hand with an
increase in this ferocious sexua l pursuit, with an increase in
uncaring and promiscuity. The association of sex with violence and human depravity is patent in ente rtainment, in pornography, as it is
in group outlets from gang behaviour to revolution and warfare. For the past century, psychologists and sociologists have loudly
proclaimed that guilt and repression are responsible for the
frustrations and angers of the age. Sexual freedom has thus become
the panacea for the ravaged modern soul. Many people have come to believe that the pursuit of the orgasm


 eat. If I don’t have enough with me or get caught out at mealtime, I can go int o practically any grocery store and get fruit. No more
shakiness, spiciness, and low blood sugar if I have to skip or delay a meal. Inste ad I feel fine and still perform well mentally and
physically until I refuel. If I know I’m going to have a busy day, I’ll throw some fruit and possibly  greens or celery in a blender with water in the
morning before I leave, to take with me to drink while working. I take a bit of thi s, watered down, to Ashtanga as my sports drink
and often drink the full smoothie afterwards on my drive back to work. I have a ble nder at work too, in case I decide to exercise or
have a smoothie or dressing while there, as I am often at the office for ov er twelve hours at a time. But in truth, I rarely need or want
to use it at work. I use less trash, and have more compost with which I can grow more food. At th e end of the day, I have only a salad bowl,
occasionally a smoothie container, and a compost container to wash for the w hole day. You can do that with just water, too, if you
do it right away. The day we got rid of our stove was such a wonderful day. It was such a freein g experience, and it made the whole kitchen
seem so much cleaner somehow. I have no need for pots, pans, ovens, or other cooking a ppliances and accessories. In fact, I could
get away without any food-preparation utensils or dishes at all if I w anted to. I don’t need spices, herbs, medications, vitamins,
minerals, or other supplements, either. It’s just so much simpler a nd more natural—less expensive too. Finally, I’m at Peace
Prior to going raw, I had been close to a nervous breakdown as a result of living  in a high state of stress for several years. I knew I
needed to de-stress, but I couldn’t see how, without conditions changing i n my life. I couldn’t exercise or do other stress-relieving
activities, because I would just feel like I was getting further beh ind on things, which would stress me out even more
(counterproductive to say the least). Now I am far less prone to stress and emotional baggage issues. My emotions  are more even and at a higher level than
before. I still attend to things, but I don’t feel stressed about them. I  feel too good to bother, actually. It is not my life that changed,
it’s me. I simply am not as stressed about things anymore. In fact, I ha ve had even more stressful things happen in my life than
before, yet I have felt less stressed during these times. It’s kind of hard to describe … I guess the best way is to say that I’m at peace, more so than ever before—at peace with
who I am, who everyone else is, and with what is going on in my life and aroun d me. From my experience, good health truly is
happiness and peace of mind. I just plain feel good, and it’s hard to get t oo down when you feel so darned good all the time, you
know. My body tells me it wants to play, and I follow. Learning to Eat Enough Food
Once I started on Dr. Graham’s program, I started really liking my food a gain. It is yummy, and I look forward to it. I don’t put off
my meals until I get ravenous anymore. I used to be so disinterested in  and uninspired by my food that I’d wait until I was so hungry
I would just grab whatever was closest and quickest—which was almos t never a healthy food choice. My body just wasn’t
interested in the food I was giving it. Now that I’m providing health y food for my body, it loves my food, and so do I. I find it fairly easy to get enough calories now, but it took a while to get to t he level of eating this much. When I started out, I
wasn’t eating enough calories, although I felt fine. I think my body just didn’t want that much food back then, because it wanted to
clear out old stuff. I figured out that I was only eating as many calorie s as would support an 80-pound person, but I also realized I
had some fat to live off of to help my transition. Over time, it did work out. Initially, I only lost weight because I had exces s fat. Eventually I lost most of the fat, gained some
new muscle (and weight along with it), and gradually started eating  more calories naturally as my body adjusted to things. Currently,
I probably eat more calories than some would think I should and many think I coul d. It works out anyway, as I am getting stronger,
gaining weight while keeping a healthy body-fat level, and I am feeli ng quite well. Don’t Live a Little … Live a Lot. If you’re looking to save time and effort in finding what works, look no further. Dr. Graham’s method works. I used to “live a little”
from passing pleasures like non-optimum food, sacrificing my hea lth and well-being in the process. Now I “live a lot. ” I don’t feel
badly about my food choices or feel like I’m giving up anything. I’m choosi ng better health and more lasting pleasure, and I am all
the more happy as a result. I feel so much better and see so many resul ts that I am inspired to keep going and don’t want to go back
to cooked food or even high-fat raw. The fleeting satisfaction just isn’ t worth the risk of losing all that I’ve gained. This raw stuff is amazing. Not raw any  way—but this low-fat vegan way—that’s what’s making the differe nce. The more I
follow all of Dr. Graham’s recommendations (which incorporate other li festyle factors besides diet: exercise, rest, pure water, pure
air, sunshine, sleep, recreation, etc. ), the easier it is to stay on the 80/10/10  raw vegan diet, and the better I feel. In fact, eating this
way has enabled me to joyfully and naturally make improvements in many  other areas of my life, which I was unable to do before,
no matter how hard I tried. To sum it all up, I just feel so alive. I want to tell the world. It’s so simple, and it works so well. I feel like my  body is
celebrating life on a cellular level—it is happy to be alive and w ants to move to celebrate. I gladly oblige. Happy happy, joy joy,
happy happy, joy. Reading my praise of Dr. Graham and his program, you may not realize that I  am actually exceedingly cautious and
conservative about recommending any products or services, as I take this  responsibility seriously. That said, I highly recommend that
you read and reread this book as many times as necessary, until you are able  to try this program and discover for yourself just how
life-enhancing it is. Give it a good chance though, and follow everythi ng as much as possible. Like any generic guideline, the program
described in this book may need adjusting for your individual situation. The g eneral method has worked wonders for me. I
wholeheartedly recommend a private consultation with Dr. Graham to cl arify or address special health issues, if you need to. You
won’t be sorry. Janie has a website, www. ringlet. org, which documents her first six months of following Dr. Graham’ s program and
includes a photo history of her as well. She is currently writing two 80/10/10  raw vegan-related books: Ready for Raw,  due
out in Summer 2005, and A Fruit Lover’s Guide to Edible Fruit, to be released later. She also stars in a video/TV series on
similar subjects due to be released in late 2005 or early 2006. Richard (“Ribs”) Friedland, Malibu, California
I became a vegetarian in 1967, because I heard it would heighten my consciou sness. It all made sense to me right away,
especially when I realized that the way I had been eating was contri buting to the death of innocent animals, and that I could eat in a
way that might be healthier, raise my awareness, and not harm other c reatures that lived on the earth. I went through a lot of changes during the first four years on a vegeta rian diet. I ate a lot of junk food in the beginning, as long
as it wasn’t meat, fish, or eggs, and that made it easy for me to stick with  the diet. Then I started to switch from regular commercial
sweets to organic health-food sweets and organic goat’s milk ice cream. I tried macrobiotics in those years, which was interesting
but very hard for me to stay on. Against the advice of three doctors who said they would put their reput ation on the line that I couldn’t survive for more than
18 months, I became a fruitarian in 1971 for a lot of the same reasons that I became a vegetarian. I ate only raw fruit, which didn’t include nuts or seeds or dried, frozen, of dehydrated fruit. I followed this diet v ery strictly for eight years. I didn’t

BIOGRAPHIC SUMMAR Y
After serving in the U.S. Navy during W orld W ar II, Dr. Hawkins
graduated from the Medical Col lege of W isconsin in 1953. For  the next 25
years, he lived in New Y ork, where his pioneering work as a psychiatrist
brought major clinical breakthroughs, especially in the treatment of
schizophrenia and alcoholism. His research findings were published widely
in medical, scientific, and psyc hoanalytic journals. As medical director of
the Nor th Nassau Mental Health Center (1956–1980) and director of
research at Brunswick Hospital  (1968–1979) on Long Island, he had the
lar gest p ractice in New Y ork. Dr. Hawkins also served as a psychiatric
advisor to Catholic, Protestant, and Buddhist monasteries. In 1973, he co-
authored Orthomolecular Psychiatry  w ith Nobel La ureate chemist Linus
Pauling, initiating a new field w ithin psychiatry and leading to appearances
on the T oday  show, television interviews with Barbara W alters, and The
MacNeil/Lehr er NewsHour. Dr. Hawkins spent the last three decades of his life in Arizona, working
to correl ate the seemingly disparate domains of science and spirituality. In
1983, he established the Inst itute for Spiritual Research, a nonprofit
or ganization dedicated to consciousness research. During the 1980s, his
lectures at such events as the Fi rst National Conference on Addictions and
Consciousness ( 1985) and Whole Life Expo (1986), both held in  California,
recontextualized addiction by illuminating the underlying spiritual drive for
inner pe ace and how to cultivate it apart from substances. During the 1990s,
he serve d as the chief of staf f at Mingus Mountain Estate ResidentialT reatment Center for adolesce nt girls in Prescott V alley and was the
consulting psychiatrist for several recovery houses in Arizona. In 1995, at the age of 68, he received a Ph.D. in Health an d Human
Services. That same year saw th e publication of his book, Power vs. For ce,
translated into 25 languages, with over a million copies sold and evoking
praise fr om such notables as M other T eresa and Sam W alton. The book
presents his trademark Map of Consciousness, now used  by health
professionals, u niversity profe ssors, government of ficials, an d business
executives worldwide. Many other books followed. From 1998 to 20 11, Dr. Hawkins traveled widely as a lecturer th roughout
the U.S. and overseas, speaking to sold-out audiences about th e science of
consciousness and the reality of advanced spiritual states. He s poke at the
Oxford Forum and W estminste r Abbey, as well as Harvard University,
University of Buenos Aires, University of Notre Dame, Fordham
University, and  the Institute of Noetic Sciences. He gave the annual
Landber g Lectu re at the University of California at San Francis co Medical
School. His final lecture, on “Love,” occurred in Septembe r of 2011,
attended by 1,700 people from around the world. Dr. Hawkins received numerous recognitions for his scientific and
humanitarian c ontributions, including the Huxley A ward for the
“Inestimable C ontribution to the Alleviation of Human Suf fering,”
Physicians Recognition A ward by the American Medical Association, 50-
Y ear Distinguished Life Fellow by the American Psychiatric Association,
the Orthomolecular Medicine Hall of Fame, Who’ s Who in the W orld, and a
nomination for the prestigious T empleton Prize that honors progress in
science and religion. In recognition of his contributions to humanity, Dr. Hawkins was knighted in 1996 by the Sovereign Order of the Hospitallers
of St. John of Jerusalem (founded in 1077) by authority of the priory of
King V a ldemar the Great. In 20 00, he was bestowed the title “T ae R young
Sun Kak  T osa” (T eacher of Enlightenment) in Seoul, Korea. He  was also a
consultant to foreign governments on international diplomacy and was
instrumental in resolving long-standing conflicts that were major threats to
world peace. Throughout his life, Dr. Hawkins participated in a wide range  of civic
and professional  endeavors, often in leadership roles. As a physician, he co-
founded or served as medical ad visor for many or ganizations, including the
Schizophrenia Foundations of N ew Y ork and Long Island, the AttitudinalHealing Center of Long Island, the New Y ork Association of Holistic
Health C enters, and the Academy of Orthomolecular Psychia try. He was
co-director of the Masters Galle ry of Fine Arts. Born with an exceptionally
high IQ, he beca me a member of Mensa International in 1963. As a young
doctor, h e was attracted to Budd hism and joined the first Zen Institute in the
U.S. At the tim e of his death, he had been a member of St. Andrews
Episcopal Church for many years. He was the first president of the Country
and W es tern Da nce Club of Sed ona and a member of the VFW, American
Legion, and the Sedona Elk s Lodge. He was an archer, carpenter,
blacksmith, musician (bagpiper, violinist, and pianist), designer of prize-
winning 16th-century French Norman architecture, and lover of animals. Internationally, Dr. Hawkins was the founder of Devotional Nonduality
(2003), a spiritual pathway that applies the core truths of the world’ s great
traditions: kindness and compassion for all life (including oneself),
unconditional love, humility, inq uiry into the nature of existence, surrender,
and Self-realiz ation. Since 2002, Hawkins Study Gr oups have
autonomously sprung up in many cities around the world, from Los
Angeles to Seoul, from Cape T own to Melbourne; the groups study and
practice the principles of his bo oks, such as “W e change the world not by
what we say or do but as a consequence of what we have become.”
AUT OBIOGRAPHIC NOTE
While the truths reported in th is book were scientifically derived and
objectively or ga nized, like all tru ths, they were first experienced personally. A lifelong sequence of intense states of awareness beginning at a young age
first insp ired and  then gave direc tion to the process of subjective realization
that has finally taken form in this series of books. At age three, th ere occurred a sudden full consciousness of existence, a
nonverbal but complete underst anding of the meaning of “I Am,” followed
immediately by the frightening realization that “I” might not have come
into exis tence a t all. This was an instant awakening from obl ivion into a

start talking about the possibility of vitamin deficiency in long-term
starvation. And it is assumed as a result of a simple analogy:
if, say, a diet with a lack of sufficient minerals

to use any kind of fasting is not necessary. Yes, our bodies - is a unique biological system, which
able to rebuild and renew its own structure, as
says on track. We continually build your own body again,
adapting to changing external conditions, ie
are constant process of adaptation. Studies in recent
years have confirmed that the cells and cellular systems have an amazing
ability - they can find a worn and pathologically
modified biostructures and replace them with new, functionally
full. Scientists refer them to the mechanisms of autoregulation -
internal self-regulation of the state structures of the body. When
I am told that this mechanism works in all conditions - and

mechanisms of autoregulation of the cellular composition is not operating at full
Power. Why is the system responsible for their constructive
self-renewal tissues are damaged, why the effectiveness of their
falls. Why reduced adaptability of the body. Why these mechanisms remain untapped in full
their capabilities. mainly on this, nobody is responsible. Our
organism is oversaturated with poisons of modern civilization as a result of
malnutrition and impaired environment, his whole life
energy is spent on the removal of these toxins and maintain at
would be minimal activity. Modern research
show that the accumulation in the body of exo-and endotoxins
reduces the possibility of its adaptation and autoregulation even in a healthy
state. in such a situation it is not before the upgrade. by
modern medical philosophy, we never learn

 For the wind disorder it is very
clear, like mountain spring water. 61 If the urine is red, it indicates a blood disorder. If the urine is rust color, this indicates a lymph disorder. If the urine is brownish, it indicates a complex disorder of all
three humors- wind, bile and phlegm. If the color is a mixture of red and yellow, it is a disorder of
blood and bile. If it is a mixture of white and yellow, this
indicates a disorder of both phlegm and bile. If the urine is yellow, like mustard oil, and oily, it indicates
both a bile disorder and contagious disease. If it is orange, thick, and has a foul color,
this indicates a type of disorder that spreads from organ to organ or
a general disturbance of the body, such as with a heat ailment. If the color of the urine is generally dark but has a spectrum of color,
like a rainbow, this indicates poisoning; it could be of any variety of
poisoning- mineral, meat, and so on. The second of the nine types of diagnosis is vapor,
which is investigated while the urine is very hot. If the urine
has a large vapor, this indicates a developed heat ailment. If there is little vapor but it lasts a long time, this indicates
either a hidden heat ailment or an old, chronic heat ailment. If there is little vapor that lasts a short time, it is a cold ailment,
involving phlegm and wind-an excess of cold in the body. If there is an alternation in the amount of vapor, then in that
case there exists a combination of heat and cold disorders in
the body. The vapor is seen just as, for example,
you see steam rise from a cup of hot tea. Bubbles, color, and vapor are visual. The odor of the urine is, of course, to be smelled. If the urine has a foul odor and there is albumin in the urine,
this indicates a strong heat disorder. If there is either no odor
or a very slight odor, this indicates a cold disorder. If the urine smells of different foods such as cabbage, meat,
and so forth, this indicates that the digestion is not working
properly; the digestive heat is not up to par. 62 If the froth or bubbles on the urine have a bluish tint and are large,
this indicates a wind disorder. If the bubbles are small and many
and, when stirred, pop quickly, it indicates a bile disorder. If the bubbles remain static on the surface of the urine like the
bubbles of saliva, as if you spit into water, this indicates a phlegm
disorder. If the bubbles have a reddish tint, this indicates a blood
disorder. If they are varicolored like a rainbow, this indicates
poisoning. If they form in the cup and then very quickly disband like
a flock of pigeons or doves who are dive-bombed by a hawk and go
off in all directions, this indicates an old disorder which now
pervades the body; it has become serious. Four points have been described for urinalysis while the urine is still
hot: color, vapor, smell and froth. When the urine has become lukewarm, one analyzes the a1bumin
and the oily chyle. The albumin or cloud-like substance in the urine
appears, for the most part, only in cases of heat disorder- illnesses
of blood and bile. If, when the albumin forms in lukewarm urine,
it is very subtle, like a hair on the arm, this indicates a disorder of the
wind. If the albumin forms on the surface like the wool-like film on
the edge of a stream, this indicates a disorder of blood and bile. If the albumin forms subtly on the surface of the urine,
like the white tips of the hairs of a rabbit, and you almost have to
squint to see it this indicates a phlegm and cold disorder. If the albumin forms like a cloud bank pervading the urine, this
indicates a lung disorder such as tuberculosis. If the albumin is like
pus in the body, possibly in the stomach or kidneys. If the albumin congeals on the surface in little grains like sand, this
indicates a disorder of the kidneys. Remember that when albumin appears in the urine, it usually
indicates a heat disorder, as it basically arises from bile and heat. If the albumin appears on the surface, this indicates a heat disorder
of an organ in the upper part of the body, specifically the heart or
lungs. If the albumin appears in the bottom of the urine, it indicates a
disorder of the kidneys. If it is in the middle, it indicates a disorder of
either the spleen or the liver. If the albumin pervades the urine, this
indicates that the physical constituents as well as the heat/cold
factors of the body have been disturbed, agitated by the winds. 63 Concerning the thickness of the albumin, if it is quite thick,
this indicates a heat disorder. If it is very thin, this indicates a
cold disorder, though, as mentioned above, the presence of
albumin generally indicates a heat disorder. The color of the albumin will be that of the urine of the
particular person at that time. For example, a bile disorder will
make the albumin orange. Or, for example, if the urine itself
were like rainbow color from poisoning, the albumin would
likewise be of different colors. If the chyle-which, being an oily substance, always comes to
the surface of the urine-is thin, this indicates a cold disorder. If it is quite thick, it indicates a heat disorder. Sometimes the oily chyle is quite thick, becoming noticeable
when the urine sites for fifteen or twenty four hours, gradually
congealing at the surface, like butter on Tibetan tea. If it is quite substantial, the doctor can delicately take it off the
surface of the urine with a thin instrument. Then he puts a few
drops of it on a hot red coal, and if its smell is like that of
barley or other grains when heated, this indicates that there is
a disorder that will cease by itself and thus does not need to
be treated. If the oily chyle forms on the surface in crisscrossing bands,
this indicates a tumorous growth, not necessarily cancerous. This phenomena occurs for all types of tumors. Subsequent analysis will reveal what type of growth it is. There are also times when a spirit or malignant being,
a non-human being, can be recognized from this oily
substance when it forms certain patterns or shapes on the
surface of the urine. This is just mentioned in passing, to be
discussed in detail later on. This completes the second major section,
the diagnosis to be done while the urine is lukewarm. 64 TESTIMONIES OF PATIENTS CURED WITH
UROTERAPIA TESTIMONY
Persm-tal experirnce~
My name is Sonia Rodriguez,
I lived worried about the physical and emotional well being of human kind all this
time and I have looked for a solution to their health problems. I have always been in the health services. I lived mortified seeing my Brothers desperate having examinations with many
doctors and still they remained ill. I am 25 years working in the pharmacology
Chemistry laboratory of clinical analyses, and I never found the answer to true
health. Then I had to live in my own experience with different diseases in my body
and look for the cure. I looked in all medicines. Allopathic, natural allopathic, homeopathic and without finding health. When I was tired to look for health in medicine in the world of "scientific Men"
I took refuge in God. There it was. I found the true healing,
Not only health but also integral healths with complete peace and harmony. Man may have thousands or millions of dollars in his banking account
and may be able to travel everywhere to seek health but he will not find it. To aU countries he will look for health and he will not find it
because health is free and comes from God given means. It is a gift and a blessing. When I took refuge in God, I found the most beautiful answers. God is a Perfect God and made the world, air, water, nature, and Man perfect. God as a Perfect Father did not forget disease. He knew that his children of this world would die, be damaged, or ill with cancer,
AIDS, and many a multitude of other diseases. He did not forget us and gave us our own medicine, in fact our own pharmacy. If you take refuge in God, you are going to find the solution to all and each one of
his problems as mental, physical and spiritual. God lives in each one on us and is an inner friend who is always ready to help. Alone you must give him the key and deposit all your confidence with him and
wait patiently for the answer. In him you will find the help that you never had imagined. You will feel within you, a great divine blessing in where you go
to obtain wisdom and understanding. You will have ears to hear and eyes to see. As Jesus said,
" a man blind does not see more than one who does not want to learn,
and the one that does not know is like that who does not see ". 65 Mlf T estimDHlf*
