As you read over this extraordinary list of nutritional elements, you can
begin to understand why the stories you may have heard of people surviving
on their own urine are true. But what about other elements in urine that you've heard about? Clearing Up the Misconceptions
If you asked a person on the street what uric acid is, he or she would
invariably answer that it's a toxic body waste. No so, say medical researchers
at the University of California at Berkeley who in 1982 reported they had
discovered that "uric acid destroys body-damaging, cancer-causing free
radicals and is considered to be one of the physiological factors that enable
human beings to live so much longer than other mammals." But what about urea? Urea is in urine and isn't that the toxic stuff that
causes uremic poisoning? Actually, medical researchers discovered many
decades ago that urea, far from being a toxic body waste, is an incredibly
versatile, far-reaching and effective medicinal agent. In numerous medical studies, it was shown that urea is one of the most potent
non-toxic virucidal agents ever discovered. In one particular study, the rabies
and polio virus [sic] were killed so quickly and efficiently by concentrated
urea, that even the laconic researchers themselves were surprised:
"Urea is such a relatively inactive substance and certainly not a protoplasmic
poison such as are most virucidal agents, that it is in a way surprising that
rabies and poliomyelitis are killed so easily by urea solutions" (McKay &
Schroeder, Society of Experimental Biology, 1936). In reality, Urea is an FDA-approved medicinal agent that doctors and
researchers utilize in an amazing variety of therapeutic modalities. Because
of its remarkable and comprehensive anti-neoplastic (anti-tumor) properties,
it's presently being used in anti-cancer drugs and is extensively studied for
use in cancer treatments. 46 The urea compound drug, glicazide, is used successfully by the medical
establishment in treating both insulin-dependent and non-insulin-dependent
diabetics. As a natural diuretic, urea is unparalleled, and is a proven and accepted
treatment in cases of edema or swelling such as excess cerebral and spinal
pressure, glaucoma, epilepsy, meningitis, even premenstrual edema and
many other disorders in which excess fluid is a problem. As one American neurosurgeon reported regarding a patient who nearly died
form complications following brain surgery:
"Urea was administered intravenously as an emergency measure. Within 20
minutes from the start of injection, her blood pressure had returned to
normal.... from this time on her recovery was uneventful. In this case, urea
was definitely life-saving, because prior to its administration, the patient's
survival was unlikely. In many similar instances urea was found to be life-
saving" (Dr. M. Javid, University of Wisconsin). The Physiological Answer to a Therapeutic Mystery
The medical findings on urine and urine constituents are overwhelming, and
yet it's difficult for most people to understand why our bodies excrete
elements that are so obviously valuable to human health and well-being. The commonly-asked question,
"If your urine is so good for you, why does your body excrete it?" is best
answered by looking into how our kidneys function. As your blood moves
through the circulatory system, it flows through the kidneys at a rate of
about 1200 ml of blood per minute. Inside the kidneys, the blood is
continuously filtered through a huge system of minute tubules called
nephron which sift out excess water, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, salts, and
hundreds of other elements including vital antibodies, urea and uric acid. A large portion of these key physiological elements are reabsorbed into the
bloodstream, but a certain amount of critical blood constituents are pooled
by the kidney into a liquid which doctors refer to as a "plasma ultrafiltrate"
(we call it urine). Much of this sterile, nutrient filled ultrafiltrate, or urine, is
reabsorbed and some remains in the kidney for a period of time and is
eventually released into a tube called the urethra which empties the urine
into the bladder where it is finally excreted. Now you're probably wondering
why the body excretes valuable nutrients, water, hormones, enzymes, etc. that are critical to body functioning. Doesn't it make more sense to retain
these elements? If urine is a collection of such life-sustaining elements,
why does the body get rid of it? The answer is that the kidneys excrete a portion of urine as a way of
removing certain key elements in your blood that are simply not needed at a
specific point in time. For instance, you've just been out jogging. You come home and have one or two big glasses ofwater to drink. 47 Now at this point you've probably taken in more water than your body
actually needs. But not to worry --your kidneys will balance the amount of
water delivered into your bloodstream by your copious water drinking and
through the urine will excrete whatever amount of water from the blood that
isn't needed at the time. Now water is certainly a life-sustaining element the body cannot do without. So why is it excreted from the body? The answer is obvious. There's too much water in your system and it needs to be excreted. It's a physiological fact that in order for us to function normally, the amounts
or concentrations of every element in our blood must be carefully and strictly
controlled and this is done by the kidneys. Too much water in the blood is
fatal. Too much salt in the blood is deadly. As wonderful a nutrient as
vitamin C is, too high a concentration of it or any nutrient could kill you. This is why the kidneys excrete valuable elements from the body -
too much of any good thing isn't good for your health. The same is true of urea. People who have heard of uremic poisoning are
surprised when they read the medical research showing urea to be a
widely-used, FDA-approved medicine. But just like any other element in the
blood, urea only becomes dangerous to the body when the kidneys are
damaged or diseased and can't properly balance the amount of urea
(and all other substances) in the bloodstream. Your kidneys aren't doing damage to your body by getting rid of particular
excess nutrients, they're just simply excreting the precise amount not
presently needed by your body at a given time. And the same goes for practically every nutrient, enzyme, hormone,
antibody, etc. that are critical to your survival-- the kidneys keep what your
body needs at a certain time, and excretes what it isn't momentarily using
into your urine. And as medical scientists and doctors have discovered,
these urinary ingredients extracted from the blood can be therapeutic magic
bullets. A Billion Dollar Industry
Despite what the public has been led to believe about urine, pharmaceutical
companies have grossed billions of dollars from the sale of drugs made from
urine constituents. Pergonal, a fertility drug made from human urine,
earned a reported $855 million in sales in 1992, and sales ($1400 a month per
patient) have increased yearly. Urokinase, a urine ingredient, is used in drug
form and sold as a "miracle blood clot dissolver" for unblocking coronary
arteries. Urea, medically proven to be one of the best moisturizers in the
world has been a boon to cosmetic companies who package it in expensive,
glamorized creams and lotions. Ever used Murine ear drops? They're made
from carbamide --another name for synthetic urea. 48 When you look at the real facts, the tragedy of the general disinformation
campaign on urine is surpassed only by the irony of our unwitting, and often
incredibly expensive purchases of what we all mistakenly but firmly believe
to be our bodies' "useless" and "offensive" waste-product, urine. New Acceptance for a Misunderstood Therapy
Because of the nearly all-pervasive public misunderstanding about what
urine is and how it can be of immense medical benefit to us, the often
amazing anecdotal stories of healing and survival via urine have been
routinely ignored, ridiculed or have been written off as "old wives' tales." But when people learn the real facts, these stories take on a significance that
not even doctors are now willing to ignore. Since the first release of Your Own Perfect Medicine, rather than the doubt
and derision I expected to encounter, I was amazed at the tens of thousands
of people who have willingly accepted the information in the book. Many
people (including doctors) have come forward to tell me about their own
experiences or about news stories they've read that tell about using urine
medicinally and in survival situations:
Dr. David G. Williams, Alternative Newsletter, August, 1994:
"Several months ago I watched the movie Alive. It's the true story of a South
American soccer team whose airplane crashed in snow-capped


 quite beneficial. I do not particularly
recommend this old man’s aid, although it may help those who
think it impossible to make progress in any other way; but if
you have an inventive mind you will think of ways and means
to help you in performing the more difficult Rites. “These Rites are so powerful that if one were left out en-
tirely while the other four were practiced regularly the full
number of times, only the finest kind of results would be
experienced. Only one Rite alone will do wonders, as evidenced
by the Whirling Dervishes of whom we spoke. Had they spun
—19—around only a limited number of times, they would have found
themselves greatly benefitted, although they may not have
attributed their improved condition to the whirling. The fact
that they whirled from left to right and that the old men, who
no doubt whirled around less than the younger ones, were
virile and strong is ample proof that just one Rite will have
powerful effects. So if any one finds that they simply cannot
perform all five of these practices or that they cannot perform
them all the full number of times, they may still know that
good results will be experienced from what they are able to do.”
“Does anything else go with these Five Rites?” I asked. “There are two more things which would help. The first is
to stand erect with hands on hips between the Five Rites and
take one or two deep breaths. The other suggestion is to take
either a tepid bath or a cool, but not cold, one after practicing
the Rites. Going over the body quickly with a wet towel and
then with a dry one is probably even better. One thing I must
caution you against ; you must never take a shower, tub, or wet
towel bath which is cold enough to chill you even slightly in-
ternally. If you do you will have undone all the good you have
gained from performing the Five Rites.”
“This all seems so simple,” I ventured, “do you mean to tell
me that this is all that is necessary in the work of restoring
senile, old men to robust health, vigor, and virility?”
“All that is required,” answered the Colonel, “is to practice
the Five Rites three times a day to begin with, and gradually
increase them as I have explained until each is being practiced
21 times each day. That is all; there is nothing more. “Of course,” he continued, “one must practice them every
day in order to keep one’s robust vitality. You may skip one
day a week, but never more than that. The use of the Five
Rites is no hardship at all; it requires less than 10 minutes a
day to practice them. If necessary one can get up ten minutes
earlier or go to bed ten minutes later. “The Five Rites are for the express purpose of restoring a
man to manhood. That is, to make him virile and keep him that
way constantly. Whether or not he will make the come-back
in youthful appearance, as I have done in so short a time, de-
pends on how he uses his virility. Some men do not care
whether they look young, or even whether they appear young,
just so long as they have all their manly powers. But as for
me, I was an old man for so many years, practically forty, that
I like the idea of throwing off the years in every way possible.”
—2—  The Eye of Revelation
PART TWO
It had been ten weeks since Colonel Bradford's return from
India. Much had happened in that time. I had immediately
started putting the Five Rites into practice and had been
getting most gratifying results. The Colonel had been busy
with some personal business transactions and I saw little of
him for a while, but when he once more was at leisure I lost no
time telling him of my progress and in enthusiastically expres-
sing my feeling regarding this wonderful new system of re-
gaining health, vigor, power, virility, and vitality. Ever since the day I was sure that I was well on the way
to new youth and vigor, I had been thinking of what a splendid
idea it would be to pass on the information about the Five
Rites to my friends, and now that the Colonel had time to
spare I approached him with the idea of forming a class. He
agreed that it was a very commendable idea and agreed to
teach it himself on three conditions. The first of these conditions was that the class should
comprise a cross-section of men from all walks of life—from
ditch-diggers to bankers. The second condition was that no
member could be under 50 years of age, although they could
be up to a hundred or more, if I knew any one that old. These
two conditions met with my satisfaction; but the third was a
big disappointment. The Colonel insisted that the class be
limited to 15 members, and I had ten times that number in
mind. However, no amount of persuasion and coercion could
change his mind. From the beginning the class was a huge success. We met
once a week and my friends all had implicit faith in the Colonel
and in the Five Rites. As early as the second week I could see
marked improvement in several of them, although, being for-
bidden to discuss their progress with anyone but the Colonel,
I could not verify my impression. However, at the end of a
month we held a kind of testimonial meeting. Every man re-
ported improvement. Some told most glowing accounts; a few,
most remarkable ones. A man nearing 75 years of age had
made more gains than any of the others. The weekly meetings of “The Himalaya Club,” as we had
named it, continued. The tenth week rolled around and prac-
—u—ically all of the members were performing all Five Rites 21
times a day. All of them were feeling better and some claimed
to have dropped age from their appearance and jokingly gave
their ages as younger than they really were. This brought to
mind that several of them had asked the Colonel his age but
that he had told them he would wait until the end of the tenth
week to tell them. This was the evening, but as yet the Colonel
had not put in an appearance. Some one suggested that each
member write on a slip of paper what age he believed the
Colonel to be and then they would compare notes. As the
papers were being collected, in walked Colonel Bradford. When
he was told what had taken place he said,
“Bring them to me and I shall see how well you have esti-
mated my age. Then I shall tell you what it really is.”
The slips all read from 88 to 42, and with great amusement
the Colonel read them aloud. “Gentlemen,” he said, “I thank you. You are most compli-
mentary. And as you have been honest with me, I shall be
equally honest with you. I shall be 78 years of age on my
next birthday.”
The members stared in consternation and amazement. They
found it hard to believe that one so youthful in appearance
could have lived so long. Then they wanted to know why,
inasmuch as they already felt half their former age, they, too,
had not made more progress in youthful appearance. “In the first place, gentlemen,” the Colonel informed them,
“you have only been doing this wonderful work for ten weeks. When you have been at it two years you will see a much more
pronounced change. Then again, I have not told you all there
is to know. I have given you five Rites which are for the
express purpose of restoring one to manly vigor and vitality. These five Rites also make one appear more youthful; but if
you really want to look and be young in every respect there is
a Sixth Rite that you must practice. I have said nothing about
it until now because it would have been useless to you without
first having obtained good results from the other five.”
The Colonel then informed them that in order to go further
with the aid of this Sixth Rite it would be necessary for them
to lead a more or less continent life. He suggested that they
take a week to think the matter over and decide whether or
not they desired to do so for the rest of their lives. Then those
who wished to go on would be given Rite Number Six. There
were but five who came back the next week, although accord-
—2—ing to the Colonel this was a better showing than he had
experienced with any of his classes in India. When he had first told them about the Sixth Rite, the
Colonel had made it clear that the procreative energy would be
lifted up, and that this lifting-up process would cause not only
the mind to be renewed but the entire body as well; but that it
entailed certain restrictions with which the average man did
not care to conform. Then he went on with this explanation. “In the average virile man,” said the Colonel, “the life forces
course downward, but in order to become a Super-man they
must be turned upward. This we call ‘The Newer Use of the
Reproductive Energy.’ Turning these powerful forces upward
is a very simple matter, yet man has attempted it in many
ways for centuries and


 which includes the
body that he or she arrived in and will leave in. The master sees the folly of
appearances and avoids the seductive lure of acquisitions and fame. I believe that our ancient friend and teacher Lao-tzu wanted to convey
these simple truths when he dictated the 12th verse of the T ao Te Ching:Extend your perspective beyond the sensory level. Your inner conv iction knows that a rose is more than a flower, as it offers
a pleasant fragrance and velvety petals. Use that knowing to perceive the
creative, invisib le force that brings an intricate blooming miracle from
nowher e to now here. Experience the essence of the creator who allowed
this blossoming masterpiece to emer ge from a tiny seed. Note that the seed
arrived from what we can only refer to as the world of formless nothingness
or spirit. See that spirit animating the colors, scents, and textures; and look
at all of life from  a transcendent perspective. You’ll be less inclined to join
the chase and more inclined to live from the inner conviction that your true
essence is not of this world. Discontinue pr essuring yourself to perpetually accumulate more. Let others be consumed with the chase if they choose to, while you learn
to relax. Rather than focusing outward, turn inward. Cultivate awe and
appreciation as inner touchston es, rather than an outer determination for
more adoration and accumulation. When you see a beautiful sight,  hear an
enchanting sound, or taste a mouthwatering delicacy, allow yourself to
think of the miracle within these sensory pleasures. Be like the master who
“prefers what is within to what  is without.” Allow things to come and go
without 12th Verse any urgency to become attached to this ephe meral world
of comings and goings. Do the T ao Now
Plant a seed and cultivate it, observing its inner nature throughout its
lifetime. Journal what’ s within the bud, and gaze in awe at what’ s in that
seed that will one day create a flower. Then extend the same awe to yourself
and the seed that had you contained inside  as well. Use this as a reminder of
your invisible inner self, which is the T ao at work. OceanofPDF.com13th Verse
Favor and disgrace seem alarming. High status gr eatly afflicts your person. Why ar e favor and disgrace alarming? Seeking favor is degrading:
alarming when it is gotten,
alarming when it is lost. Why does high status gr eatly afflict your person? The r eason we have a lot of tr ouble
is that we have selves. If we had no selves,
what tr ouble would we have? Man’ s true self is eternal,
yet he thinks, I am this body and will soon die. If we have no body, what calamities can we have? One who sees himself as everything
is fit to be guar dian of the world. One who loves himself as everyone
is fit to be teacher of the world. OceanofPDF.comLiving with an
Independent Mind
The essential message of this 13th verse of the Tao Te Ching seems to be
that it’s crucial to remain independent of both the positive and negative
opinions of other people. Regar dless of whether they love or despise us, if
we make their assessments more important than our own, we’ll be greatly
afflicted. Seeking the favor of others isn’t the way of the Tao. Pursuing status stops
the natural flow of Divine energy to your independent mind. You have  a
basic nature that is uniquely yours—learn to trust that Tao nature and be
free of other people’ s opinion s. Allow yourself to be guided by your
essential beingness, the “natural you” that nourishes your independent
mind. By contra st, chasing after favored status or lofty titles to display self-
importance are examples of living from a mind that depends on external
signals rather than the natural inner voice. The Tao doesn’ t force or interfe re with things; it lets them work in their
own way to produce results naturally. Whatever approval is supposed to
come your way will do so in perfect alignment. Whatever disfavor shows
up is also a part of this perfect alignment. Lao-tzu wryly points out that
pursuing favor is alarming, regardless of the outcome. If you gain approval,
you’ll become a slave to outside messages of praise—someone else’s
opinion will be directing your life. If you gain disfavor, you’ll push even
harder to change  their minds, and you’ll still be directed by forces outside
of yours elf. Both outcomes result in the dependent mind dominating, as
opposed to the way of the T ao, in which the independent mind flows freely. This 13th verse insists that ego and the need for impor tance are
troublemakers that are energized by your in-the-world self. The way of the
Tao is to be aware of your eternal nature and step outside of your self or
body. No ego means no troubl e; big ego equals big trouble. The Tao Te
Ching rhetorically inquires, “If we have no body, what calamities can we
have?” If you ask yourself this question, you’ll discover a Divine, invisible
soul that’s independent of the opinions of all the afflicted seekerspopulating the world. In the spirit of the Tao, your true nature will replace
the pursuit of external favor with the awareness that what others think of
you is really none of your business! Practice the following principles in Lao-tzu’ s message and gain
immeasurable inner peace. You’ll be in balance with the natural law of the
universe, living with an independent mind in the spirit of the T ao:
Practice trusting your own inner natur e.
Every passionat e thought that you have regarding how you want to
conduct your life is evidence that you’re in harmony with your own unique
nature—your fervent belief is all you need. If you’re temp ted to feel
insecure becaus e others disagree with you, recall that Lao-tzu counseled
that “seeking favor is degrading ” and will lead you out of touch with your
true self. Give yourself permission to remember that you’re not only your body, and
that others’ opinions about what you should or shouldn’ t be doing probably
aren’ t taking into account your true, eternal being. Those other  people are
also not only their bodies, so seeki ng their approval double s the illusion that
the physical is all we are. Your worldly self isn’t your true identity, so trust your eternal self to
communicate with you. It will do so through your inner nature, where
you’ll honor it through an independent mind. Respect your vision and trust
your natural, passionate thoughts that are aligned with the loving essence of
the T ao. Practice being the person Lao-tzu describes in this 13th verse. Affirm the following: I am a guardian of the world and I am fit to be the
teacher of the world. Why? Because you recognize your connection to
everyone and everything throu gh an independent mind whose Source is
love. By living from your eternal self, you’ll become a mystical teacher and
guardian. The approval that your worldly self sought will be felt as what it
was—the dependent mind’ s struggle to engage life as if it depended on
external approval. Do the T ao NowAsk yourself right now, What’ s my own natur e if I have no outside forces
telling me who or what I should be? Then work at living one day in
complete harm ony with your own nature, ignoring pressures to be
otherwise. If your inner nature  is one of peace, love, and harmony as a
musical genius, for instance, then act on just that today. OceanofPDF.com14th Verse

Try to imagine the idea of forever: that which has never changed, that

W
e	were	walking	down	the	road	toward	the	village	when	Baba	asked,	“What
would	you	wish	for	if	you	could	wish	for	anything? Would	you	wish	for
riches?”
“Yes,”	I	said	without	a	moment’s	hesitation. “Would	you	wish	to	be	popular	and	famous?”
“Yes,	that	sounds	pretty	good	too,”	I	said. He	smiled. “In	fairy	tales	there	are	always	three	wishes. What	would	your
third	one	be?”
“Promise	you	won’t	tell	anybody,	but	I’d	wish	for	someone	to	love	me,”	I
said. “Deeply?”	asked	Baba. “You	must	be	precise.”	I	felt	my	cheeks	get	warm. Before	I	could	stammer	out	anything,	Baba	said,	“Very	well,	deeply	it	is. Three	wishes	to	work	on. Now,	let	me	see.”
He	began	to	scan	the	horizon	like	an	old	sea	captain	searching	for	port. “It’s
around	here	somewhere. Ah,”	he	said,	pointing	to	the	tallest	tree	in	the
distance. “We	need	him.”
We	left	the	road	and	tramped	across	a	field	until	we
	reached	the	tree. Baba
said,	“This	is	a	wishing	tree. It’s	been	giving	people	what	they	want	for	a
long,	long	time.”
“Are	you	sure	you	didn’t	just	make	that	up?”	I	was	getting	used	to	Baba’s
mischievous	tactics. Baba	pointed	to	the	bark,	which	had	deep	slashes	hacked	into	it. “That’s	how
I	know	this	is	a	wishing	tree,”	he	said,	launching	into	the	following
explanation:
Wishing	trees	go	back	many	centuries	in	India,	although	for	modern	people
they	are	now	more	legend	than	fact. Everyone	in	this	part	of	the	country	hadbeen	told	about	wishing	trees	by	their	grandmothers,	and	perhaps	belief	was
stronger	here. For	one	day	a	villager	was	walking	alone,	dreaming	about	his
future. He	stopped	to	rest	under	a	tree	and	thought,	“If	only	I	were	rich.”
When	he	returned	home,	to	his	amazement	he	found	a	mansion	where	his	hut
had	stood,	and	inside	the	mansion	was	every	kind	of	treasure. Immediately	he
knew	that	he	had	found	the	wishing	tree. The	young	man	told	no	one	where
his	wealth	had	come	from. He	left	the	village	that	night,	never	to	be	seen	there
again. “But	a	year	later,”	Baba	said,	“he	returned	with	an	ax	and	began	to	hack	at	the
tree,	cursing	it	all	the	while. ‘You	never	told	me	that	people	would	envy	my
money,	and	now	I	am	miserable,’	he	cried. ‘I	trust	no	one,	I	cannot	tell	if
anyone	likes	me	for	myself	or	only	for	my	riches. Night	and	day	I	worry	that	I
might	lose	everything,	because	I	know	nothing	of	how	to	handle	money’”
He	chopped	at	the	tree	until	he	was	exhausted. But	the	tree	would	not	fall. Time	passed,	and	one	day	a	young	woman	from	the	village	was	wandering	in
the	woods. She	sat	under	the	tree	to	rest,	and	a	wish	came	to	her. “If	only	I
were	famous. It	would	be	so	wonderful	to	be	the	most	popular	woman	in	the
world.”
When	she	got	home,	her	house	was	swarmed	with	TV	cameras	and	reporters. A	huge	crowd	was	gathering,	and	as	soon	as	they	spied	the	young	woman,	she
was	mobbed	by	screaming	fans. Breathlessly	she	made	it	into	her	house. The
next	day	she	emerged	to	find	that	the	cameras	and	reporters	were	still	there. She	waved	and	got	into	a	limousine	and	was	never	seen	in	the	village	again. “But	a	year	later,”	said	Baba,	“she	sneaked	back	to	the	wishing	tree	with	an
ax	in	her	hand. She	began	to	chop	at	it,	cursing	all	the	while. ‘You	didn’t	tell
me	that	nobody	would	ever	leave	me	alone. I	can’t	go	anywhere	without
being	stared	at,	my	slightest	misfortune	is	blown	up	into	a	tragedy	in	the
newspapers,	and	hundreds	of	people	a	day	ask	for	my	help,	when	I	can	barely
manage	my	own	life. I’m	so	miserable.’”
She	chopped	at	the	tree	until	she	was	exhausted. But	the	tree	would	not	fall. More	time	passed. Then	it	chanced	that	a	young	mother-to-be	was	wandering
in	the	woods. She	rested	under	the	tree,	dreaming	of	the	joys	of	having	a	baby

 Basile et al. 11
For example, those early studies were able to show that both neuroblastoma cells
and cells of certain leukemias can be made to mature when treated with certain naturally occurring substances, such as nerve growth factor. 12,13
An experiment using undifferentiated proerythroblasts obtained from a Friend
erythroleukemic cell line was used to test DMSO differentiation in vitro. In the
absence of DMSO, some gigantic cells and many undifferentiated cells were seen in culture. With the addition of DMSO to cultures, striking morphological changes were seen as cells became smaller, the nuclear–cytoplasmic ratio and nucleoli reduced, and the formation of many differentiated normoblasts occurred, suggesting that cell maturation from DMSO exposure took place, preventing these cells from turning malignant. 14
In another example, the potential by DMSO to modify leukemia cells was shown. Human acute myelogenous leukemia originates from pluripotent stem cells that transform into neoplastic cells. 15 A major phenotypic abnormality of these leukemia
cells is their inability to differentiate to functional mature cells at the myeloblast or promyelocyte stage. Leukemic patients with this condition usually die of infection, because blast cells do not mature to their functional end cells, allowing the leukemic cells to rapidly multiply in the system. 15
More recently, it has been found that Friend erythroleukemia cells differenti -
ated by DMSO can produce hemoglobin and turn malignant cells into orthochro -
matic normoblasts.16 DMSO-treated erythroleukemic cells undergo an irreversible
pathway to maturation and, in that process, produce globin mRNA and accumulate large amounts of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin accumulation in FLC differentiated by DMSO is needed for the erythroid maturation process. 17 What is of interest is that
treated cells express an ability to remember (so-called memory response) the previ -
ous exposure to the DMSO treatment and to continue their differentiation even after the DMSO exposure has been discontinued. 17 This terminal maturation process of
erythroid cells and hemoglobin synthesis remains to be further clarified. HL-60 HUMAN CELL LINE
The HL-60 human cell line was developed from peripheral blood leukocytes in a patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia, which are generally promyelocytes. 15
This HL-60 cell line has been used as a unique in vitro  model to study various 125 DMSO in Malignancy
important aspects of human myeloid cell differentiation. When these promyelocyte
cells underwent incubation for 5–7 days with appropriate concentrations of DMSO, they were able to differentiate into normal, peripheral blood granulocytes, despite their karyotypic abnormalities and leukemic origin. 18 These peripheral blood granu -
locytes were capable of phagocytizing bacteria and develop complement receptors.18
Treatment of human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells with DMSO is known
to cause differentiation of these cells along granulocytic/neutrophilic differentiation lineage. 19 After DMSO treatment, cultured granulocytic HL-60 cells eventually die
via apoptosis. This process of apoptotic death induced by DMSO involves enhancing the effector proteins Bak and Bad while downregulating the apoptosis suppressor protein Bcl-2. 19 The ectopic expression of Bcl-2 protein is able to prevent apoptosis
of granulocytes and monocyte/macrophage by a number of differentiating agents, but not when DMSO is used. Induction of apoptosis in macrophages by DMSO is of pathological significance because macrophages produce free radicals and inflamma -
tory cytokines that can damage normal cells. 20
METASTATIC LIVER DISEASE
Metastasis is the principal cause of death in cancer patients, and once it occurs, the most fundamental aspect of these cancer cells is their ability to sustain chronic growth. This growth differs from normal cell proliferation because the latter takes care to control the production and release of growth-promoting signals that ensure a homeostatic cell growth and cell number. Cancer cells have the unique ability to deregulate or block these signals and, essentially, do what they please. 21
Metastatic liver disease is a malignant tumor in the liver that has spread from
another organ affected by cancer. Metastatic liver disease is frequently associated with primary colorectal carcinoma. More than half of the patients with metastatic liver disease will die from metastatic complications. This disease is the sixth lead -
ing cancer worldwide and the second in cancer-related deaths in the United States. 22
The reason the liver is a common site for cancer metastasis is due to its abundant
blood supply, and since both lobes of the liver are usually involved, surgical removal is not possible unless a liver transplant is performed. Chemotherapy and a partial hepatectomy, especially in young people, is a possible treatment when only one lobe becomes cancerous. However, due to the rich blood supply of the liver, bleeding after surgery is a concern. One procedure by Salim
23 using electrocoagulation + DMSO (500 mg by mouth)
attempted to destroy liver metastases spread from advanced colonic cancer and reduce bleeding complications. A significant 5-year survival rate was obtained with -
out major adverse effects in 78 patients with liver malignancy randomized to be treated with electrocoagulation + DMSO as compared to electrocoagulation only consisting of 77 patients. 23 The possible free radical–scavenging ability by DMSO
was considered as a major factor in the long-term efficacy of this procedure.23
Tumor cells in culture generally grow in disarray unlike normal nontumorigenic
cells. When these tumor cells are exposed to 1%–2% DMSO in culture, the random piling is drastically abolished within 3 days and instead, monolayers of cells in regular parallel orientation are seen to form, a pattern typical of nonmalignant fibroblasts. 24 126 Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease
These morphological changes from malignant to nonmalignant cells in culture could
be maintained indefinitely as long as DMSO was kept present.24
When DMSO was removed from the medium, reversal of these cells to the
malignant state occurred after 3 days. It is possible that some of the properties that characterize DMSO, such as its stability, highly polar nature, and dielectric con-stant greater than that of water, which can enhance cell permeability, may explain, at least in part, the influence of this solvent on the hydration and solvation shells that surround the membrane components of the malignant cells and their ultimate transformation to benign cells. 24 These findings suggest that cancer is a disease of
differentiation.25
However, the precise identification of the defect involved in the transformation
of normal cells to malignant cells as well as the induction of cell differentiation by DMSO to normal cells is not easy to explain. Cancer cells seem to lose important control systems due to damage or loss of the genes inside the cells, a process known as mutation. Damage to the cell can be caused by a variety of factors. These factors, or carcinogens, can make the cell multiply abnormally to create cancer. DMSO COMBINED WITH ANTICANCER AGENTS
A strain of spontaneous rat lymphatic leukemia inbred rats exposed continually to low, oral concentrations of DMSO produces physiological changes in these animals that increases the therapeutic effects of the antineoplastic agent cyclophosphamide while also lowering its threshold toxicity. 26 This positive finding in a rat leukemic
model suggests that combining DMSO with antitumor compounds in the treatment of human cancer is both feasible and attarctive. 26 It also implies that the toxicity
seen with many of the anticancer agents may be lowered when DMSO is used as an adjuvant. This suggestion was supported by a sequential study from the same authors who
reported that 12 anticancer agents administered to tumor-bearing rodents in the pres -
ence of 0.25% DMSO in the drinking water for over 1 year increased antineoplastic potency in 8 of these agents. 27 Several of the parenterally administered antineo -
plastic agents given with oral DMSO also inhibited the tumor growth rate in these animals. 27
Several trials of DMSO on human cancer were attempted using cyclophospha -
mide and large doses of DMSO. It was reported that when 5%–10% DMSO was given orally or intravenously to 10 patients with a brain tumor, no enhancing effects of cyclophosphamide in the cerebrospinal fluid or plasma was seen. 28 In another
study, 15 renal carcinoma patients were given thioTEPA combined with 2% DMSO by mouth, but no beneficial effects on the tumors were noted. 29
Basal cell carcinoma is a malignant epithelial neoplasm of the skin, which
remains the most common cutaneous malignancy in Caucasians, with as many as 2 million new cases expected to occur yearly in the United States. 30 Although basal
cell carcinoma is not usually life threatening, it has become a medical problem of growing concern. Surgical excision remains the standard treatment for this tumor, but nonsurgical modalities also have achieved acceptable cure rates, particularly photodynamic therapy. 31127 DMSO in Malignancy
The basis of photodynamic therapy depends on a photoactivating light, a


 its opposite, except in the
world of the  absolute. Yet the realm of the
absolute was not sufficient for either you or
Me. I  existed there, in the always, a nd it is
from where you, too, have come. In the absolute there is no experience, only
knowing. Knowing is a divine state, yet  the
grandest joy is in being. Being is achieved
only after experience. The evolution is  this:
knowing, experiencing, being. This i s the
Holy Trinity —the Triune that is God. God the Father is knowing —the parent of
all understandings, the begetter of all
experience, for you cannot experience that
which you do not know. God the Son is experiencing —the
embodiment, the acting out, of all that the
Father  knows of Itself, for you cannot be
that which you have not experienced. God the Holy Spirit is being —the
disembodiment of all that the Son has
experienced  of Itself; the simple, exquisite
is-ness possible only through the memory
of the  know ing and experiencing. This simple being is bliss. It is God -state,
after knowing and experiencing Itself. It is
that for which God yearned in the
beginning. Of course, you are well past the
point  where you must have it explained to
you that the father -son descriptions of God
have nothing to do with gender. I use here
the picturesque speech of your most  recent
scriptures. Much earlier holy writings
placed this metaphor in a mother -daughter context. Neither is correct. Your mind can
best hold the relationship  as: parent -
offspring. Or: that -which -gives -rise-to, and
that-which -is-risen. Adding the  third part of
the Trinity produces this relationship: That
which gives rise to / That  which is risen /
That which is. This Triune Reality is God’s
signature. It is the  divine  pattern. The three -
in-one is everywhere found in the realms of
the sublime. You  cannot escape it in
matters dealing with time and space, God
and consciousness, or  any of the subtle
relationships. On the other hand, you will
not find the Triune Truth  in any of life’s
gross relationships. The Triune Truth is recognized in life’s
subtle relationships by everyone dealing
with such relationships. Some of your
religionists have described the Triune Truth as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Some of
your psychiatrists use the terms
superconscious, conscious and
subconscious. Some of your spiritualists
say mind,  body, and spirit. Some of your
scientists see energy, matter, ether. Some
of your  philosophers say a thing is not true
for you until it is tru e in thought, word, and
deed. When discussing time, you speak of
three times only: past, present, future. Similarly,  there are three moments in your
perception —before, now, and after. In
terms of  spatial relationships, whether
considering the points in the  universe, or
various  points in your own room, you
recognize here, there, and the space in
between. In matters of gross relationships, you
recognize no “in -between.” That is because  gross relationships are always dyads,
whereas relationships of the higher realm
are invariably triads. Hence, there is left -
right, up -down, big - small, fast -slow, hot -
cold,  and the greatest dyad ever created:
male -female. There are no in -betweens in
these  dyads. A thing is either one thing or
the other, or some greater or lesser  version
in relationship to one of these polarities. Within the realm of gross relationships,
nothing conceptualized can exist without a
conceptualization of its opposite. Most of
your day -to-day experience is  found ed in
this reality. Within the realm of s ublime relationships
nothing which exists has an opposite. All Is
One, and everything progresses from one
to the other in a never -ending circle. Time is such a sublime realm, in which
what you call past, present, and future exist
inter-relationally. That i s, they are not
opposites, but rather parts of the same
whole;  progressions of the same idea;
cycles of the same energy; aspects of the
same  immutable Truth.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

  Acknowledgments
First, last, and always, I want to
acknowledge the Source of everything that
is in this book,  everything that is life —and
of life itself. Second, I want to thank my spiritual
teachers, who include the saints and sages
of all  religions. Third, it is clear to me that all of us could
produce a list of people who have touched
our lives  in ways so meaningful and so
profoundly as to defy categorization or
description; people  who have shared with
us their wisd om, told us their truth, suffered
us our faults and our  foibles in their infinite
patience, and who have seen us through all
of it; seeing the best in us  there was to see. People who, in their acceptance of us, as well as their refusal to accept the  parts of
us they knew we really didn’t choose,
caused us to grow; to get bigger somehow. The people, in addition to my parents, who
have been there for me in that way include
Samantha Gorski, Tara -Jenelle Walsch,
Wayne Davis, Bryan Walsch, Martha
Wright, the  late Ben Wills, Jr., Roland
Chambers, Dan Higgs, C. Berry Carter II,
Ellen Moyer, Anne  Blackwell, Dawn
Dancing Free, Ed Keller, Lyman W. (Bill)
Griswold, Elisabeth Kübler -Ross,  and dear,
dear Terry Cole - Whittaker. I want to include in this group my former
mates, whose privacy I wish to respect by
not naming them here, but whose
contributions to my life are deeply grasped
and appreciated. And as gratitude for the gifts I have
received from all these wonderful people
swells my  heart, I am especially wa rmed by
the thought of my helpmate, spouse, and
partner, Nancy  Fleming Walsch, a woman
of extraordinary wisdom, compassion and
love, who has shown  me that my highest
thoughts about human relationships do not
have to remain fantasies, but  can be
dreams come  true. Fourth and finally, I want to recognize some
people I have never met, but whose lives
and work have impacted me with such
force that I cannot let this moment pass
without thanking  them from the depth of my
being for the moments of exquisite
pleasure, insight into the  human condition,
and pure, simple Lifegefeelkin (I made up
that word. ) they have given me. You know what it is like when someone has
given you a taste, a glorious moment, of
what is  really true about life. For me, most
of these have been  creative or performing
artists,  because it is from art that I receive
inspiration, to which I retreat in moments of
reflection,  and in which I find that which we
call God most beautifully expressed. And so I want to thank. John Denver,
whose songs touch my soul and fill it with
new hope  about how life could be; Richard
Bach, whose writings reach into my life as
if they were my  own, describing so much of
what has been my experience; Barbra
Streisand, whose  directing, acting, and
musical artistry grips my h eart time and
time again, causing it to feel  what is true,
not merely know it; and the late Robert
Heinlein, whose visionary literature has  raised questions and posed answers in
ways no one else has dared even
approach. For
ANNE M. WALSCH
Who not only ta ught me that God exists,
but opened my mind to the wondrous truth
that God is my best friend;
and who was far more than a mother to
me,
but gave birth in me
to a longing for and a love of God,
and all that is good. Mom was
my first meeting
with an angel. And for
ALEX M. WALSCH
Who told me repeatedly throughout my
life,
“There’s nothing to it,”
“You don’t have to take No for an


 juices also have therapeutic qualities. The "grape cure" is well known in parts of Europe and has found
extensive employment in the sanitariums and resorts of Merano, Italy, parts of France, and southern Germany. The patients
of these institutions are fed almost exclusively upon raw grapes for four to six weeks at a time, starting with about a pound a
day and gradually increasing the amount to five to eight pounds a day. Johanna Brandt reported a number of cures from
cancer through the employment of the raw grape diet, and others have used it successfully in the treatment of constipation,
rheumatism, catarrh, gallstones, eczema, jaundice, malaria, hemorrhages, and other ailments. Grape cures are even
recommended in certain mental disturbances and in weakened conditions of the entire muscular system, including the
heart. Raw cabbage juice has been used with remarkable success in treating ulcers. Dr. Garnett Chaney at Stanford University
treated 63 ulcer patients with one quart of raw cabbage juice per day, and 60 of these showed pronounced healing. In most
cases, the pain disappeared within a few days and recovery was complete within three weeks or less. Six patients with
"huge" ulcers required 56 days of treatment. The three patients who failed to respond had dense scar tissue in the stomach
and liver damage before treatment started. Dr. Chaney’s experience was almost duplicated by Dr. William Shive and his
colleagues at the University of Texas. Dr. Shive found that raw cabbage juice — as well as the juices of some other
vegetables — tends to prevent ulcers and to cure them. He studied 100 cases in which the ulcerous condition was so
severe that the use of the bland diet and anti-ulcer drugs had failed. But the drinking of one quart of fresh, raw cabbage
juice per day by these patients brought about marked beneficial results. The use of raw cabbage juice in amounts less than
one quart per day promotes less rapid recovery than does the full quota but it is of definite value, and even a glass of juice
per day tends to reduce or eliminate the pain in some cases. The raw cabbage juice is also an important aid to normal
elimination and it improves the general health of the ulcer patient as well as promoting recovery of his primary affliction. SCRAPED APPLE DIET
The "scraped apple" diet is an old German folk remedy for both diarrhea and constipation. Modern scientists have
employed raw apple in the treatment of these same conditions with very good effects. T. L. Birnberg treated diarrhea in
children with raw, grated apple and obtained completely successful results in 88 per cent of all cases. He noted relief from
abdominal pain achieved almost immediately, normal stools achieved in 24 hours, reduction of fever within 48 hours, and
disappearance of mucus in 60 hours. The beneficial effects of raw apple in these cases are attributed to the presence of
“hydrophilic colloids" in the food which absorb excessive water and furnish bulk to control peristalsis. RAW HONEY
Of particular interest is the therapeutic value of raw honey. This food has long been known as a "folk medicine" for hay
fever and asthma, and recent experimental studies conducted at the William Beaumond  General Hospital in El Paso, Texas
have shown that raw honey containing the pollen of the offending grasses or weeds builds up a natural resistance to these
agents in the body, thereby offering relief to the hay fever victims. Studies made by P E. Weesen of the Frauenfelder
Sanitarium of Europe showed that patients given raw honey exceeded all others both in strength and healthy appearance. Dr. Paula Emrich tested 100 children, and found that those given raw honey achieved a 12 per cent increase in hemoglobin
content of their blood over the others. Dr. Rolleder gave a smaller quantity of raw honey to 58 children of an Austrian
orphanage and noted a hemoglobin increase of 8 1/2 per cent. Dr. Schacht of Wiesbaden claimed to have cured many
supposedly hopeless cases of gastric and intestinal ulcers with raw honey, and the celebrated Father Sebastian Kneipp
remarked that "smaller ulcers in the stomach are quickly contracted, broken and healed by it." Surprisingly, raw honey has
even been given to treat diabetes. Dr. A. Y. Davidov of Russia noted that it tended to prevent acetonemia, and in spite of its
high sugar content, its use was associated with the actual reduction of sugar in the urine. The American physicians, Dr. L.
R. Emerick of Eaton, Ohio, and the late Dr. R. J. Goss of Middlebury, Vermont, have treated hundreds of diabetic patients
with raw honey, achieving remarkable success and vast improvement in the weight, strength, and appearance of many
patients. RAW LIVER
The value of raw liver in treating pernicious anemia is now well known. As early as 1926 Drs. Murphy and Minot were curing
severe cases of this disease with raw liver, and they claimed there was some unidentified factor in the food which
stimulated the growth of red corpuscles. At first this was called the "red blood vitamin." It is now known that there are two
such factors, folic acid and vitamin B12, both of which are destroyed by heat. Thus, whereas well-cooked liver is practically
useless in these cases, raw liver brings about consistent and rapid recovery. For perhaps the same reason raw liver, given
to weak and undersized children, has been reported to increase vigor and improve the rate of growth. RAW MEAT PRODUCTS
Other raw meat products are also of unquestioned therapeutic importance. When tuberculosis was still a common disease
in this country, frail and consumptive people would be seen going to slaughterhouses to obtain draughts of fresh blood,
which were believed to be of great value in such cases. In countries where tuberculosis remains prevalent, this practice is
still followed, with reportedly good results. On a clinical basis the celebrated French physiologist, Prof. Charles Richet, was
among the first to use raw beef juice in the treatment of tuberculosis, and he reported excellent results in this practice. More
recently other European physicians are following this same method, and they apply the term, " zomotherapy" to designate
copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648-1500    www.drbass.com 5treatment of disease with raw meat or raw meat-juice. They claim success with zomotherapy in treating many conditions,
including anemia, neurasthenia, debility, convalescence, and latent, incipient, or active tuberculosis. RAW SEEDS
Few raw foods have been as highly recommended as sunflower seeds, squash seeds, pumpkin seeds, and watermelon
seeds in the treatment of disease. Several years ago, J. I. Rodale noticed that sunflower seeds, when used in their raw
state, effected a remarkable cure for some cases of bleeding gums. After his report on this subject was published, new
evidence accumulated which indicated that raw sunflower seeds were also useful in treating sores, dermatitis, rheumatism,
rheumatic fever, arthritis, and kidney disease. The teeth were said to improve under the sunflower seed treatment, as was
the condition of the eyes. Raw squash and pumpkin seeds have been recommended as worm expellents. An infusion made
by soaking dried watermelon seeds in water was an old Indian folk treatment for kidney and bladder infections, and many in
modern life have also testified as to the efficiency of this treatment. The watermelon seeds may also be eaten in their fresh
state with good results. While much of the evidence in favor of these uncooked seed foods is in the form of testimonials
rather than clinical data, it is too extensive to be ignored. Whether we consider the seeds as effective "folk medicine" or just
good food, they are doubtless of much value in modern nutrition. IMPROVED INTELLIGENCE
Raw foods have even been used to improve the intelligence quotients and mental attitudes of backward children. In
Germany, Dr. Lottner reported an experiment in which 33 children, having low intelligent quotients and attending a school
for backward children, were given a raw breakfast each morning. This was in the form of " muesli ” an uncooked porridge
made from oat flakes, milk, fruits, nuts, and honey. The children given the raw breakfasts rapidly improved over all the
others. They did better work in dictation, arithmetic, letter-canceling, and drawing completion tests. They were also less
restless, did not become tired as rapidly as before, and showed better concentration in accomplishing their daily work. CLINICAL APPLICATION OF THE RAW FOOD DIET
IN CALIFORNIA
If the simple addition of certain raw foods to a normal diet produces such startling changes in human health, it may be
expected that a diet composed entirely, or nearly so, of raw foods would be much more beneficial and achieve more rapid
and far-reaching results. This has been shown to be true at the Pottenger Sanitarium in California, where a large variety of
raw foods has been employed for therapeutic purposes. Dr. Pottenger writes that "the highest grade of raw milk, raw meat, raw vegetables and fruit products obtainable" are used in
the clinical work. He points out that "we have been able to improve the physiologic response of children who have
previously been developing in a deficient manner" similar to the experimental animals which were fed upon heat-processed
foods. Even defective facial growth has been improved, and P


 to recover on the therapy. Even that may not be enough for those who
have been pre-treated with chemotherapy prior to starting the Gerson protocol—it is difficult to
set a time limit for them. (see Chapter 18 )
Patients suffering from non-malignant diseases which respond well to the Gerson Therapy
(see Chapter 19 ) can be fully healed in a year or 18 months, on a less demanding protocol than
the one prescribed for cancer patients. While coming off the treatment too soon is dangerous, staying on it for too long doesn’t
seem to do any harm. Stopping the therapy has to be a gradual process. Provided all is going
well, juices, enemas and medication are slowly and gradually reduced, as set out in the Annual
Schedule, pg. 132. By the end of two years, patients may manage on 8 juices and one enema a
day; or, if the bowel function is regular on its own, one or two enemas a week. If this reduced
program feels comfortable, with no headaches, no constipation and no new symptoms, juices may
be cut down to 5 or 6 a day, and enemas dropped altogether. But as a ‘health insurance’, it is wise
to drink a few freshly made organic juices every day—indefinitely. Eating Wisely
Changing over from the strict dietary rules to a more permissive regime also needs care. During the treatment the body has got used to the best possible nutrition—fresh, pure, tasty

www.thegersonway.comorganic vegetarian food that is easily digested and provides all the necessary nutrients for health
and fitness. It would be a grave mistake to switch from such a wholesome diet to the so-called
normal variety, heavy with meat, poultry, cheese and chemical-rich convenience foods, and risk a
serious upset. Besides, in our experience, recovered patients with their “clean” systems don’t feel
tempted by such foods, even if during the long treatment they did fantasize about some “forbidden
fruit” or other. Above all, they find anything salty quite distasteful. On the saltless Gerson regime
their taste buds have recovered from the paralysis caused by the highly salty foods of the past;
now they find anything salty unpleasant and even offensive. (Just like former smokers, who find
it impossible to stay in a smoky room, let alone start smoking again.) Of course once a recovered patient is in a truly good condition, with all systems working
well, it is all right to attend a banquet, a wedding, or a birthday celebration and “binge” a little. But afterwards digestive enzymes should be taken for a few days, accompanied by a daily enema,
to get rid of the mess and feel good again. Please don’t discard your enema bucket. An “upside
down coffee”, in Gerson parlance, helps if you have a headache, a toothache, even an incipient
cold or a general malaise. Also, hang on to your Norwalk or other juicer, instead of switching over
to bottled juices; they won’t help to keep you well. Patients who had been very seriously ill must take extra precautions to preserve their new-
found health. We suggest that however long they have been off the therapy, they should go back
on the full intensive program for two weeks twice a year. (Spring and Fall, the times of seasonal
changes are best for the purpose.) During those two weeks they should drink10-13 juices a day,
eat only freshly prepared organic foods, avoid animal proteins and take 3 or more enemas daily. If this return to the strict Gerson protocol produces a healing reaction, which these patients would
recognize at once, the body is obviously clearing up some fresh damage, and the strict program
should be extended for another two weeks. If, however, no new symptoms pop up, the patient is
doing well and can stop the “refresher course” after two weeks. The Art of Maintenance
Originally Dr.Gerson suggested that recovered patients should maintain their good health
by ensuring that 75% of their diet consisted of “protective” foods, namely organic fruit and
vegetables high in nutrients, vitamins, minerals and enzymes, to keep the immune system in
prime condition. The remaining 25% of food was to be “at choice”. Unfortunately this division
is no longer applicable, since the freely chosen foods would be far too damaging. We therefore
have to urge former patients to stay with 90% of “protective” foods, and have at most 10% of their

breakdown of their health in the first place. However, if some serious dietary indiscretion occurs,
it is wise to go back on the full therapy for a few weeks and clear up the body, rather than risk
long-term damage. Needless to say, great care must be taken with alcohol; very occasionally a
little wine may be enjoyed, but only if it is organic. Commercially produced wines, made from
frequently sprayed grapes, are to be avoided. If you know what to avoid and what to hang on to, maintenance quickly becomes an easy
and pleasant routine. And the answer to the question, “Is there life after Gerson?” is a clear and
resounding YES! 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 165Healing the Gerson Way—Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases

Psychological Support for
the Gerson Patient
By Beata Bishop
Gerson patients and others interested in the therapy often wonder why, apart from one or two
passing references, the psychological aspect of healing does not figure in Dr. Gerson’s
epoch-making book.1  The reasons for this apparent omission are simple. For one thing, Dr. Gerson
wrote his book solely from the point of view of the physician-scientist, excluding all other
considerations. For another, psycho-oncology, a branch of psychology specializing in the care of
cancer patients, did not come into being until the early 1960’s, after Dr. Gerson’s death. However,
by now it has become an important specialty in its own right that needs to be included in any
healing protocol claiming to be holistic. Holistic medicine is based on the insight that body and mind are two sides of one coin; they
sicken together and must be healed together. Whatever affects the one will affect the other. This
is particularly relevant to the Gerson Therapy, whose powerful effects extend beyond the body to
the patient’s non-physical self as well. While detoxifying the body, the combined impact of the
juices, the food and the coffee enemas reaches the brain and the central nervous system, causing
strong emotional reactions, mood swings and uncharacteristic behavior in the unsuspecting
patient. For that reason alone—and it is not the only one—the psychological side of the healing
journey must be properly understood and adequately handled. Neglecting it poses the risk of
some repressed psychological problem sabotaging the therapeutic process. Since body and mind interact and influence each other every moment of our lives, it makes
sense to try to ensure that both are in good condition. The therapy works on the body—but what
about the psyche, the inner world of emotions and drives, and is it really important that they, too,
should be in good health? The answer is yes—and here is why:
There is now solid scientific evidence to prove that our moods, emotions and general outlook
have a direct and measurable impact on our immune system. The proof comes from psycho-
neuro-immunology (PNI), a new medical specialty, which has been rapidly developing since
the late 1970s, thanks to a better understanding of brain chemistry and of the subtle connections
that exist on the cellular level of the organism. Put briefly, the limbic system of the brain and the
central nervous system releases certain hormones that fit into receptor sites located throughout the
body, causing them to release other hormones. The quality of these hormones determines whether
the immune system is boosted or weakened, switched on or off; and that quality, in turn, depends
on our emotions, prevailing mood, beliefs and self-image. Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.comA positive, hopeful, determined attitude strengthens immune competence, while despair,
negativity and fear weaken it. A traumatic event or lasting depression can overwhelm our cells
and disturb their normal functioning. In that light our every thought and feeling can be seen
as a biochemical happening. According to neuro


 oth er words, this stage of enligh tenment is
reached through  a lot of understanding of the past. Y ou do not immediately
embody the present-based know ledge that there’ s an opportunity in every
obstacle. In the next stage, you do: you understand in your heart that e verything
that com es your way is a blessing. Y ou see that this is more  than just a
hokey p hrase used in self-help. In fact, what I’ve been talking a bout in this
book is not self-help but self-r ealization, which is way beyond self-help. When you begin to realize yourself—when you discover your
magnificent potential—you see that everything that’ s coming at you has an
opportunity in it, even though it may look lik e an obstacle. Y ou think, I
wonder why I cr eated this. I wonder what lesson is in this for m e. Y ou may
still hav e the suf fering, but it’ s minimal and doesn’ t last. Rather than 10
years, for example, you might move through a challenging situation in 10
weeks, 10 days, 10 minutes maybe. Suf fering is always played ou t in form because it comes from your
thoughts. Becau se you know tha t what you think about expands, you learn
not to focus on the negative. L et’ s say you’re going through a divorce, a
tough time financially, an illnes s, or a death in the family, whatever it is. Now you’re looking at it as, I  can g et something out of this. I can gr ow fr om
this. I can transc end and go pas t it. Y our mind is focused on that instead of
on, Why is this happening to me. S omeday I’ll know why, but I don’ t know
why toda y. It’ s so terrible that I’ m going to be depr essed for six mor e years. Y ou don’ t go t here anymore. Thinking like this belongs back there in
another time in your life. Y ou’re solidly in the second stage. People ask, “If t hat’ s the second stage, what else is there. ” W ell, the third
stage of  enlightenment happens  when you are able to get out  in front of
things. Y ou see them coming an d play them all out in thought, a nd then you
decide which of these is going to be brought into form. For example, let’ s say you’re in a relationship and your par tner says
something upset ting to you. Y ou know that if you respond in a certain way,
then she ’ s going to respond in kind. Then you’re going to say th is, and she’ s
going to say tha t—you can play that all out in thought, and you’re out in
front of it already. Y ou can even see how this could devolve into an absolute
blowout, with both of you really upset for two or three days, maybe not
talking, maybe storming out, or  doing any number of things that people do
to avoid being intimate. Again, you play that all out and  know you don’ t have to make it happen. Y ou don’ t have to make her wrong, which is a grea t step. Y ou don’ t have t o
make yo u right, an even higher  step. There’ s no right or wrong here. Y ou
play everything out, and as you do, you decide that you don’ t have to bring
this altercation into form. Y ou g ot out in front of it; it’ s gone. It’ s all been
played out in yo ur mind. Y ou use your mind to not  bring into form, into
your life, into action that which you know is not beneficial for e ither one of
you. In relatio nships, this means letting go of your need to be right and instead
celebrating the dif ferences in t he other person, and agreeing to disagree
about them for the rest of your life if necessary. I tell people that this is a
wonderful stage  to get to, because once you and your partner are both there,
you can still express your perspective. Y ou don’ t have to be a certain age to
get to this point—you can learn it at any time in your life. As you move across the levels of enlightenment, you go from being an
actor in the firs t stage, being directed by events, circumstance s, and other
people, to being the director you rself in the second stage. Then  in the third
stage, you become the producer too. Y ou are now the actor, the director, and
the producer of your entire life, and you’re doing it all with your mind. If
it’ s a career move that you onc e would have agonized over, y ou can see
how it’ s going to go. If you’re l iving in Atlanta but need to go to Houston,
you can  see yourself selling your home and driving to T exas to start this
new job or enterprise. When yo u play all this out, you can actually see how everything  is going
to w ork, because what you think about expands. Then you can d ecide. Y our
decision isn’ t based upon, My boss  is going to do this to me, and the world
is going to do this, and if these things don’ t work out. It’ s based upon
your pro jecting in your mind how you want things to be. If the picture
doesn’ t come out exactly the wa y you want it to be, then you’re  out in front
of it already, and you don’ t go to Houston after all. Or perhaps you do
choose t o move because you see it as an exciting, wonderful ad venture and
a t ime to do something new. And you can do these steps with anything that
you perceive to be coming at yo u but is really what you’re creating through
all the choices that you’re making. Y ou can  use your mind in exciting ways, as I said. On the job, you can
see how, if you react in a certai n way toward your boss or co-worker, you
know that If I say or do this, that that’ s going to set them off. I don’ t have to
go ther e  anymor e. Instead of behaving like A, B, C, or D, I’ve a lr eady done
it all in my mind, and I’ve seen the r esult. I don’ t want to go th er e. I don’ t
want my form to  have to follow  that anymor e, so I’m in fr ont of it. It’ s like
you’re producing your life through your mind. WIN-WIN SOLUTIONS
The totally awake and aware pe rson has almost moved beyond success. Success in W estern society tends to mean accumulation or winning rather
than achievement. It almost always means you have to outper form or get
more than the ot her guy. This is very much a part of our culture, and there’ s
nothing wrong with it. But now  you understand that success, a chievement,and performance all have built into them the notion that somebody else has
to lose in order  for you to win. When you are enlightened, y ou learn to
approach conflict from a win-win position. While this has become a popular
slogan and philosophy in business, it can also be used in any type of
interpersonal situation. I t hink very strongly that when you are in a romantic relation ship, you
fall in love with the things in another person that you don’ t have in yourself. After al l, to fall in love with somebody who has everything exactly the
same as  you is to  have a redundant relations hip. Y ou’ve already got that;
what do you need more of it for. Y et peop le will say, “Oh, we have so much in common. He says  this, and
I s ay the same thing; he likes to do this, and I like to do it t oo. He’ s an
athlete, and I lik e athletes. ” They think it’ s such a wonderful thing that they
have all these th ings in common. I always think, Uh-oh, this one’ s doomed. W e’ve got some r eal pr oblems h er e. But  wh en someone says, “Ah, she’ s the
exact op posite o f me,” I think that’ s almost always where the most intensity
is found. When this couple looks at each other, they realize, They ar e many
things that I am not and can’ t be, and I like that. I like having that ar ound
me. I need that passion ar oun d me. I need that person who talks a lot
ar ound me, because I’m very quiet. This is what endears them to each other. What of ten happ ens, though, is that as time passes in a relation ship, you
for get that the dif ferences are what give it spice. Then you turn those
dif ferences, whi ch are the very thing that attracted you to the p erson in the
first plac e, into areas of conflict or confrontation. Y ou begin to try to alter
the p erson you love. This does not

QUESTION PRESCRIPTION AND
PROSCRIPTION
The Protein Enthusiast—Doubting Thomases
THE only completely accurate prescriber of
nutrition for living creatures is Mother Natureherself, and if she does not prescribe anything
by the undoubted approval of appetite sheproscribes it. One of the rules which have governed my
quest for optimum human nutrition in themidst of the twentieth century food supply andother conditions, has always been to go toNature for final advice in the matter. When I say " Question Prescription and
Proscription " I mean that the most positiveprescribers of food have something in the foodline or advice to sell, and they proscribe aspositively anything that competes with theircommercial product. My eyes were opened to this possible snareand delusion by a great doctor of medicine,*
who is also one of the most ardent economists Ihave ever met—not a miser in any sense, but areligiously philosophical economist. He isalmost as righteously indignant against anywho use the trust which is placed in them byclients or patients for the selling of high-pricedfoods as he is at the makers, advertisers,retailers and prescribers of alcohol as abeverage. In his just opinion it is as wicked, oralmost as wicked, to advise unprofitableextravagance of any sort as it is to prescribepoison. To this discriminating philosopher food is the
basis of health-wealth, and sacred to its divineusefulness. The great harm that was done to the world by
the academic prescription of excessive proteinrations
 † was that it started a vicious circle of
extravagances which led as surely to untimelydeath as murder. The perpetrators of thispernicious prescription were innocent ofintention to do harm ; in fact, they were full of
* Dr. M. Hindhede: Copenhagen, Denmark. † Voit, Atwater, etc. the most generous of motives in issuing their
poisonous advice, and one of the mostprominent, at least, paid the penalty by dyingmiserably of his own fatal ignorance. I may also say that it is " presumption,"
advisably, for almost all prescriptions of foodwhich do not have their basis on the naturalbody calls are presumptuous. Nature knows. Ifgiven a chance to show her knowledge Natureprescribes rightly and delivers her message inthe form of appetite and the other instincts. Shewill do this in the midst of the most complicatedof artificial food mixtures, as I have reason to
know from personal experience, confirmed by
many others over and over again. Therefore, I may say more surely than ever,
that whatever
NATURE  PROVIDES  and PERMITS  as
NOURISHMENT  I HAVE  NO RIGHT  TO PRO SCRIBE. THE ONLY PRE SCRIPTION
that Honesty approves is the Optimum
Economic Nutrition; and my great preceptor,Dr. Hindhede, the ideally honest scientist anddoctor, ventures to prescribe only the plainest offoods that are delicious to a true, keen appetite,and cost the least through being in season and
so common and easy to grow as to be cheapest. This good and superlatively honest doctor
does not Proscribe anything that Nature
permits as food and he does not even Proscribe
the transportation of grapes from Madeira tothe North Cape of Norway for the enjoyment ofthose who can afford to pay for them. Would the Proscribers of flesh food have
denied Amundsen and his companions the fleshof their faithful dogs as a last resort in securingnourishment for the completion of their journeyto the South Pole. It was their truly last resortin gaining the victory over the Ice God ; andwould to God that brave Captain Scott and hisband of faithful ones had had such a last butsaving resort to help them accomplish theeleven miles between them and rescue. Butthen, the world would have missed a model ofaltruism that is worth a million lives, and one ofwhich million everybody would like to be, iftheir lives are worth the living. THE PROTEIN  ENTHUSIAST. While writing this chapter I have beenforwarded material for indignation and a text
for condemnation in the form of a book so full offood prescription that it is positively poisonous,as read with the intelligence of my own andcurrent knowledge of the subject, that it oughtto be pilloried as a " Horrible Example" ofpresumptuous prescription and proscription. Itis an advertisement pure and simple, but soprejudicial to the natural facts in the case thatit again raises the question of the advisability ofa Supreme Court of the Physiology of Nutrition,to try such nutrition perverters for high treasonto Mother Nature. I will not name the book or the author, to
further the advertisement. I once stopped acontroversy with the doctor-father of the authorby offering to wager him one hundred poundsthat I could beat him out on a ten mile go-as-you-please tramp, which he had mentioned asone of his stunts to prove his contentions. Ourages were nearly equal, and the difference oftraining consisted of his prescribing for himselfover 100 grams of proteid daily (less by 20 percent. than the vicious Voit* or Koenig
Standards, and less by 30 per cent. than theStandard that killed poor Professor Atwater),while I had subsisted for years on less than halfhis prescription. He warned me that I wascourting death, but that he was providing forhimself longevity by the mile. He got mad withme, and nearly fumed at the mouth, because Iassumed to insist that only Mother Nature wasa competent prescriber, intimating that he wasnot. I could not out-talk him, and so I sent hima challenge. He made the excuse that he wasleaving for the Continent for a rest, but wouldtalk further with me when he returned. Hisreputed forty-thousand-pound office practice ofprescribing his favourite dietaries had wornhim out and he was going for a rest. Later I
* Carl Voit, of Munich, prescribed as Standard daily diet for
a man doing moderate work : 118 grams of Protein, 56 grs. Fat,
500 grs. Carbohydrates, with a total fuel value of 3,055 large
calories; increasing the same to 145 grams Protein, 160 grs. Fat,450 grs. Carbohydrates, with a total fuel value of 3,370 large
calories. This is the celebrated Voit Diet Standard. Professor
Atwater, of Connecticut, went further, prescribing as Daily DietStandard no less than 125 grams of Proteins, with sufficient fat
and carbohydrates to equal a total fuel value of 3,500 large
calories for a man doing a moderate amount of labour;increasing the amount of Protein to 150 grams, with fats and
carbohydrates to a total fuel value of 4,500 large calories per diem. heard of him in a sanatorium—surely
disgraceful to a doctor to be compelled to go tosuch a place for " treatment. " The race, or contest, never took place, but
since then I personally have several timesbroken records established by men one-half, andeven one-third, of my age with progressive easeup to three years ago when last put to a test,and I have noted no letting-up of the progress ofrecuperation as judged by " feelings " orendurance when doing unusual stunts. In this direction I now feel that I have done
enough, and that it is not for age to temptProvidence by competing with the Prime ofMuscularity in feats of strength and endurance. John L. Sullivan and Jefferies and many morewent once too often into the ring, and MotherNature, not Corbett or Jack Johnson, knockedthem out for good and all. Fletcherizing does notinclude either imprudence or bluff. It merelytrusts good Mother Nature for directions toaccompany her nutriment-medicine. Wheneverat any time I feel the impulse to turnsomersaults from the lead platform of a man-of-war into good, clean salt-water—as I did a fewyears ago or so in the Philippines, as a
demonstration to impress the natives—I will" up and do it, or die in the attempt. " What I amdoing now more than ever is keeping my ear tothe mouth of Mother Nature, my finger on herpulse of command, and doing her biddings aswell as I can interpret them. If a thing is notagreeable to do, I take it as a warning not to do
it. There are so many useful things to do thatare pleasant, what is the use of going out of theway to do disagreeable things. There are somethings that are natural and agreeable that weshould do, and which we have got out of thehabit of doing, physical exercise, for instance. We are dealing with cultivated abnormalitiesalways in a cramped and complex civilisation. " We are constantly doing

much
crap,
it
can't
be
described. And
when
I
did
micro-enemas
with
evaporated
urine,
I
got
such
clumps
that
I
couldn't
believe
what
was
inside
me. During
the
first
bowel
cleansing,
I
got
chronic
inflammation
of
the
intestine,
which
I
always
have
in
the
spring. I
felt
horrible
pains
in
my
stomach. Clay
compresses
with
urine,
which
I
changed
three
times
a
day,
helped
me. " Comment
and
recommendation:
This
woman
treated
her
pain
very
well
with
clay
compresses. The
first
cycle
of
enemas
is
over,
during
the
second
cycle
she
should
get
rid
of
herself
deep
water
pathology,
which
nothing
but
evaporated
urine
(and
fasting)
can
remove. The
second
cleaning
will
pass
without
any
problems. Conclusion:
Always
start
your
colon
cleansing
with
plain
fresh
urine
and
work
your
way
up
cycle
apply
vaporized. The
use
of
urine
in
gynecological,
proctological
(digestive)
and
similar
diseases
initially
causes
severe
cutting
pain. This
is
due
to
the
effect
of
the
acidic
environment
of
urine
on
the
festering
(alkaline)
surface
of
the
wound. After
several
procedures,
the
pain
subsides
and
the
wound
heals
quickly. Example:
Patient
36
years
old. Cervical
erosion. It
all
started
12
years
ago
after
a
difficult
birth. For
the
past
three
years,
the
disease
has
been
in
the
"blooming
rose"
stage. She
decided
to
do
the
morning
injection
of
her
own
fresh
and
warm
urine
on
the
affected
area
and
apply
tampons
with
her
own
standing
urine
at
night. During
the
first
injection,
the
patient
felt
only
a
slight
stinging. Three
hours
after
inserting
the
first
tampon
with
old
urine,
the
woman
felt
unbearable
pain. She
removed
the
tampon
and
wanted
to
leave
everything. The
author
tried
to
prove
to
her
that
the
pains
are
from
the
"blooming
rose". Until
the
urine
removes
the
scarring
of
the
mucous
membrane,
until
healthy
tissue
appears,
it
is
need
to
suffer. The
hospital
was
convinced
by
a
story
about
a
case
of
leg
gangrene,
when
a
certain
professor
he
made
the
patient
suffer
pain
until
the
urine
removed
the
diseased
tissue
and
healthy
skin
formed
and
the
legs
were
saved. The
patient
resumed
applying
tampons. The
pain
lasted
for
another
3-4
days. They
stopped
completely
in
a
week. The
patient
started
drinking
her
own
urine
on
the
third
attempt. She
threw
up
on
the
first
two. She
went
to
the
gynecologist
in
14
days. The
patient's
general
practitioner
was
not
present,
so
another
doctor
took
her
in. After
a
long
examination
of
about
half
a
year's
records
and
a
thorough
examination,
the
doctor
stated
in
amazement:
"This
is
strange,
you
have
so
much
in
the
card
and
everything
is
clean
here. " Recommendations
and
comments:
In
such
cases,
tampons
are
not
soaked
in
standing
urine,
but
in
children's
or
fresh
urine. Fresh
urine
has
an
anti-inflammatory
effect
and
reduces
pain. Only
then
can
you
use
tampons
with
evaporated
or
long-standing
urine,
which
perfectly
removes
and
tears
off
dead
tissue. Example:
“I
used
to
suffer
from
paraproctitis. They
even
operated
on
me. Now
there
is
a
relapse,
the
tumor
has
grown
like
a
fist,
I
can't
walk. I
started
doing
small
enemas
with
evaporated
urine
and
putting
tampons
on
the
perineal
area
more
often. After
the
first
enemas
in
the
paroproctitis
area,
it
burned
like
a
hot
iron. I
suffered
and
continued
to
insert
urine
tampons. I
used
to
have
smaller
hemorrhoids
that
I
couldn't
feel. Now
they
came
out
like
little
droplets. I
continued
the
treatment,
the
hemorrhoids
disappeared,
after
two
weeks
theparoproctitis
also
disappeared. I've
been
at
peace
for
three
years
now. '' Example:
Another
patient
was
convinced
of
what
pains
can
occur. After
applying
a
tampon
with
fresh
urine
to
the
internal
hemorrhoids
and
the
tumor
that
was
blocking
the
smooth
bowel
and
preventing
emptying,
a
burning
pain
began
that
shot
into
the
leg,
spine,
and
bladder. The
pain
lasted
for
two
weeks,
but
the
patient
regularly
continued
the
treatment,
even
though
he
shortened
the
time
of
applying
the
tampon
(wick)
from
2
hours
to
20
minutes. The
pain
made
him
so
weak
and
angry
that
he
didn't
even
want
to
see
anyone. That
was
a
tough
test. Towards
the
end,
he
felt
that
the
pain
in
the
walls
of
the
large
intestine
gradually
subsided,
going
inside
and
burning
the
metastases. Next,
the
patient
switched
to
tampons
with
evaporated
urine
and
he
no
longer
felt
any
pain,
everything
calmed
down. The
whole
procedure
took
1
month. But
he
will
never
forget
the
first
two
weeks. It
was
during
them
that
he
understood
what
a
cancer
patient
in
the
final
stage
of
the
disease
feels
-
crazy,
hopeless
pain. Such
a
sick
person
wants
only
one
thing:
for
it
to
end,
for
example
to
cut
off
half
of
his
body,
just
so
that
the
hellish
torment
ends
and
he
can
die
as
quickly
as
possible. Two
weeks
in
pain
completely
reborn
the
patient,
he
became
a
different
person. There
was
not
only
a
physical
but
also
a
moral
cleansing. Example:
"In
1988,
I
was
diagnosed
with
left
breast
cancer. I
didn't
do
anything
for
two
years
and
the
tumor
grew
to
the
size
of
a
goose
egg. No
pain. I
started
urinotherapy
in
October
1990. I
drank
morning
urine
on
an
empty
stomach
and
applied

Loghmanee, a physician and sleep specialist, noted that “75% of children, ages 6 to 11 and
89% of youths, ages 12 to 17, have some degree of malocclusion.” In addition, an estimated 65
percent of adults have some degree of malocclusion; this population includes those adults who
have already had orthodontic procedures. Given this, the actual number of these adults had not
received treatment would be closer to 90 percent. Other estimates I found put the figure for
children even higher. Suf fice to say, it’ s a lot. A few slide presentations (with references) and
in-depth interviews about malocclusion: Kevin L. Boyd and Darius Loghmanee, “Inattention,

Canadian researchers measured the facial and mouth dimensions of 38 children suf fering from
chronically enlar ged adenoids, the glands located on the roof of the mouth that help fight
infections. The swollen glands made it almost impossible for the children to breathe through
their noses, so they all adopted mouthbreathing, and all had the long, slack-jawed, narrow-
faced profiles that come with it. Sur geons removed the adenoids from half the children and
monitored the measurements of their faces. Slowly, surely, their faces morphed back into theirnatural position: jaws moved forward, the maxilla flared outward. Donald C. W oodside et al.,
