 adding
something that is not essential to its essence, to that essence, and thereby
blurring the recognition of the radical reality of its essence. To add the word
“am” after “I” is already in error; it’ s already of f the point. Choice: Choose the Highest and Least Selfish
I think what we all tend to do is try to make what seems to be the highest
decision, that which is most beneficial and loving, et cetera. We all try to
make a decision which is, in our view of it, the least selfish. We try to
choose “win-win” over “win-lose. ” At the same time, we try to clarify our
perception of the conditions about which we feel we have to make a
decision—whether we’re seeing it in terms of “either/or–ness. ” We try to
clarify in our inner mind, so it’ s very complex what our motivations are. Asimple thing like, “Should I pick up a new kitty at the animal shelter. ” can
already be quite complex. On the other hand, it can be quite simple because
each and everything, if examined to the full elaboration of which the ego is
capable, becomes extremely complex. There’ s a much easier way to do it. “It’s a good thing to get a nice kitty at the pound: resist” (T rue). We know that having a pet increases longevity. It decreases heart attacks,
drops people’ s blood pressure. I see a lot of depressed people in the of fice,
and I always ask them, “Do you have a pet at home. ” “No. ” Hmm. Well,
we know that the presence of a pet increases longevity. We know that
they’re therapeutic. We know that they’re very useful in nursing homes. The
nursing homes I liked the best were ones that had dogs running around. If
the nursing home didn’ t have a dog running around, it had a lower
vibration. It did, really. And those which had Christian denominations
running them seemed to have a higher ener gy and vibration. And there were
always friendly dogs running around. So again, it isn’ t that this caused that,
but a higher level of spiritual awareness, whatever, resulted in greater
kindness on the part of the staf f, a higher healing rate. And the presence of
the dog—you can’ t say the dog caused the higher healing rate, but that
which chose to have a dog there saw the importance of love to healing. And
any health-field people who see the importance of love to healing are very
likely to be more capable of bringing about healing in their patients. So
every decision, then, can be seen, of course, from multiple viewpoints. And
that which is most loving is undoubtedly probably what dominates most of
the people on the field of spiritual inquiry. Of course, nowadays we can
calibrate a thing too, but that doesn’ t mean it has to rule you. You know, calibrating things is just verification; it’ s just verification. It’ s
extremely useful. It’ s extremely useful as a research tool. The strangeness
of this particular consciousness here was that it went through a whole great
variety of experiences within the levels of consciousness, and it happened
in a person with a scientific, medical, psychiatric, and psychoanalytic
background. So that the curiosity of the intellect then was—the physician
looked at it and said, “What in the world is that physiologically going on
with the body. ” The psychoanalyst wanted to look at it. So, the self-
examination that went on was from the viewpoint which is not exactly
traditional. And the description of the state then was expressed in a form
that expressed the background of the entity. So Power vs. For ce, then, was
coming from the awareness that the scientific world, the world of theNewtonian paradigm, is ruled by logic and reason and science. So, how to
present it, then—first as a Ph. D. dissertation to a university faculty where it
would meet all the strict requirements of a Ph.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>

P reface
That which you are about to read may change your life forever! When I  was 11 years old, my brother Scott was diagnosed with terminal cancer;
he was 20 at the time. His story is unique because he was one of the 150,000
individuals lucky enough to find Dr. Kelley's book, Winning the Cancer War,  and
one of the only 33,000 to actually go on the program. Today, in 1997, he is healthy,
cancer-free and living in California with his wife and three children. Scott's
experience changed the lives of each member of our family. For me, the effect appeared when I  was older. Around the age of 19, I  began to
experiment with various diets. I  would cross-reference my overall sense of energy
and my performances in running 10 kilometers to the diets I  used, always allowing at
least 90 days between any changes. What I  found should come as no surprise to
anyone: When I  consumed a largely uncooked vegetarian diet, eliminated alcohol
consumption and drank plenty of fresh squeezed juices, my 10K running times and
subsequent recovery periods were shorter than when I  used a diet of more meat and
cooked foods. In other words, my body worked better on simple fuels from nature. For the greatest majority of us, we are born in perfect health. Our health and
aging process after birth is largely influenced by genetics, culture, geography and, of
course, the foods and liquids we consume. These things are all that distinguish who
will grow to be strong and who will grow weak. Why is it some people can live lives
of smoking and poor diet and live to be 90 and others are susceptible to ill health
and disease while living a relatively healthy lifestyle? The fact is, regardless of
outward physical appearance some people w ill become cancer victims and some
apparently likely candidates won't. It is simply


idn’t	even	date
during	her	romantic	hiatus,	so	sure	was	she	that	any	liaison	she	developed
would	be	just	another	reflection	of	the	same	painful	patterns	she’d	played	out
in	her	relationships	until	then. I	call	this	a	“sex-and-love	fast. ”	Few	people	think	of	it	that	way	when
they’re	going	through	it,	of	course. While	we’re	experiencing	it,	we	just	feel
it’s	a	“dry	spell”	or	even	the	“end	of	all	that”;	we	might	think	it’s	happening
because	we’re	older	now,	so	we	don’t	attract	lovers	as	easily	anymore. But	the
truth	is	often	that	we	declared	a	halt	to	romance	on	a	subconscious	level,
regardless	of	how	much	the	conscious	mind	protests	that	“we’d	love	to	meet
someone. ”
Why. As	a	middle-aged	friend	of	mine	once	responded	when	I	asked	her	if
she	was	seeing	anyone,	“No. I	can’t	stand	who	I	become	when	I’m	in	a
relationship. I’d	rather	not	even	do	it. ”	Once	you	see	that	in	every	relationship
you’ve	encountered	the	same	demon—your
own
—you	realize	that	until	you
deal	with	that	demon,	you’ll	never	find	true	love. For	the	demon	blocks	it. This	demon	takes	various	forms	in	your	arsenal	of	self-sabotage:	insecurity,
lack	of	boundaries,	jealousy,	dishonesty,	anger,	control,	neediness,	or
whatever	other	form	of	personal	inauthenticity	that	leads	you	time	and	time
again	to	either	attract	the	bad	ones	or	blow	it	with	the	good	ones. It	is	naïve	to
underestimate	that	demon’s	power. After	one	of	her	romances	went	desperately	sour,	a	friend	once	told	me,
“Another	one	like	that	would	kill	me. ”	I	understood	what	she	meant,	and	so
can	most	people. There	comes	a	time	when	you	feel	like	the	high	of	romance
isn’t	worth	the	pain	of	its	demise;	when	the	risk	of	a	romantic	disaster
outweighs	the	thrill	of	the	ride. And	that	time	is	…	you	guessed	it. more
often	than	not	around	midlife. Why. First	of	all,	because	it	often	takes	that	long	to	have	experienced
enough	disasters	that	you’d	do	anything	possible	to	make	sure	you	avoid
another	one. Also,	you’ve	reached	a	point	when	you	don’t	have	as	hard	a	time
overriding	your	hormones. Your	body	isn’t	so	upset	anymore	to	hear	you	say
that	you’re	taking	a	break. It	rather	welcomes	the	chance	for	some	downtime. The	yearning	for	love	is	still	there,	but	the	yearning	alchemizes	into
something	less	personal. Not	less	personal	in	the	sense	that	you	don’t	love	an
intimate	conversation	or	having	a	warm	body	hold	you	close;	just	less
personal	in	the	sense	that	life	has	forced	you	to	see	beyond	the	illusion	that
any	human	being	can	erase	all	your	pain. You	realize	the	romantic	mythology
we	were	all	brought	up	with	is	like	a	computer	file	that	has	been	corrupted. Until	that	file	has	been	removed	and	replaced	by	another,	no	matter	what	we
do,	our	ultimate	outcome	will	be	tainted. This	doesn’t	mean	you	don’t	still	crave	love—the	craving	itself	never	stops. As	a	matter	of	fact,	at	just	the	point	when	you’ve	had	enough,	the	very	fact
that	you
have
	had	enough	is	what	causes	your	breakthrough	into	the
awareness	that	sets	you	free. As	it’s	said	in	Alcoholics	Anonymous,	every
problem	comes	bearing	its	own	solution. It’s	often	when	love	has	hurt	you	the
most	that	you	come	to	see	how	and	why	you	set	yourself	up	for	all	that	pain. So	you	go	on	a	fast. All	of	a	sudden,	your	phone	stops	ringing. Like	Ellen
Burstyn,	you’re	forced	to	cleanse	your	palate. Burstyn	came	to	understand	that	her	negative	relationship	patterns	were
reflections	of	her	childhood	wounds,	which	she’d	have	to	reenact	until	she
healed	them. So	do	we	all. Until	that	work	is	done	on	some	level,	there	is	no
getting	off	the	wheel	of	suffering. Our	subconscious	minds	aren’t	wrong	in
cutting	us	off	from	love	and	sex	for	a	while,	as	the	work	is	being	done	and
deeply	absorbed	into	our	system. The	fast	isn’t	something	we	do	to	isolate;
it’s	something	we	do	to	survive. First	there	was	childhood,	and	the	wounding	that	occurred	then. Then	there
was	young	adulthood,	and	all	the	disasters	that	occurred	because	of	your
childhood	wounds. And	then	there’s	midlife,	when	it’s	time	to	deal	at	last	withwhat	happened	in	childhood
and
	in	young	adulthood. Midlife	is	the	time	to
heal,	so	our	hearts	can	finally	be	delivered	from	the	past	and	released	to	the
fullness	of	what	love	can	be	right	now. When	you	see	a	lot	of	middle-aged	individuals	at	personal-growth
seminars,	it’s	not	because	they’re	done	with	love	and	this	is	their	only
entertainment	now. Often,	they	have	memories	that	might	shock	the	younger
people	around	them. Whenever	you	see	an	older	person,	you	might	want	to
subtract	40	years,	and	that	will	tell	you	how	old	he	or	she	was	in	the	’60s. But
the	new	midlife	is	not	a	time	to	simply	dwell	on	our	memories	of	love	and	the
demons	we	encountered	there;	it’s	time	to	develop	the	skill	to	send	the
demons	back	to	hell. Sometimes	you	wonder	if	you	missed	your	window. Ellen	Burstyn	writes
that	she	remembered	feeling,
Now	that	I	know	I	am	ready	at	last	to	love	well,
I	fear	it	is	too	late. With	that	sentiment,	she	echoes	the	fears	of	many. Yet
that’s	just	a	typical,	last-ditch	effort	of	the	demon	to	deter	us,	a	common	pain
that	often	pops	up	in	our	heads	in	that	one	minute	before	the	miracle. Once	your	mind	and	heart	are	realigned—when	the	broken	self	you	became
in	childhood	is	no	longer	manifesting	broken	relationships—then	you’re
ready	at	last	to	love	again. Compassion,	integrity,	truthfulness,	generosity,	and
graciousness	become	key	elements	in	your	new	romantic	skill	set. You	come
to	see	what	you	did	wrong	in	the	past	and	to	forgive	yourself,	to	understand
other	people’s	actions	and,	where	necessary,	forgive	them,	too. You	are
humbled	at	last	into	your	purity	and	grace. In	the	Epilogue	of	her	book,	Burstyn	describes	how	she	finally	met	the	man
of	her	dreams,	and	I	finished	the	last	page	thinking,
Now	I	want	to	read	the
sequel. I’d	read	hundreds	of	pages	about	the	horrors	of	her	past;	now	I	wanted
to	know	what	finally	getting	it	right	would	look	and	feel	like. Just	as	certain	foods	need	to	marinate,	our	romantic	skills	need	years
sometimes	to	come	together	in	all	their	richness. I	asked	Burstyn	what	it’s	like
now,	to	finally


 undone at the time of
the death of some family member twenty years earlier,
for example, may now express itself as a heart attack. A thing has been handled when we feel at peace
and complete with it. It no longer recurs or brings up
pain when we think about it; we feel satisfied. There
may be regret about having to live through it, but some
how we come out on the other side of it as a different
kind of person, and with that knowledge, there is a
certain sense of peace that lets us know it has been
handled now. Catastrophic experiences are the seeds, the very
essence, of the ultimate spiritual experience. Within
it and following it to its very center core, totally walk
ing off the cliff in complete abandonment, the full
surrender to the experience is the very seed and
core of that which the spiritual seeker has been
searching for all along. With many catastrophic situations in ordinary life,
there is an incomplete resolution of the experiences,
along with a lack of awareness of the jewel-like qualities
and opportunities within the events. We are over
whelmed by the 'whatness' of them and look in the HANDLING MAJOR CRISES 255
wrong direction. The mind also gets a secret payoff
from negative emotions (e. g., attention, self-pity, drama)
plus indulgence in martyrdom, etc. Many times when drugs are introduced, altered
states of consciousness occur, and the person is taken
to the emergency room. What could be a crucial
spiritual discovery is covered over with a band-aid,
and the family tries to distract the person from the
spiritual work. The essential aspect of the spiritual benefit comes
from running directly into the experience. There is a
saying in Zen to "Walk straight ahead, no matter
what," so when this catastrophic experience comes, it
is beneficial to center oneself right into'the core of it,
say "yes" to it and experience it through. There have been catastrophic experiences in my
life when band-aids were available, and I refused to
accept them because by then I had learned the value
of experiencing them through. The band-aids really
prevent the experiencing through of what might be
called 'hitting bottom'. The concept of hitting bottom,
which is well known in handling many serious prob
lems, such as alcoholism, means to let go completely. In an acute catastrophic situation, the mind tries to
cling to that which is familiar. It tries escapism, distrac
tions, tranquilizers, drugs and alcohol, and various
other ways of trying to ameliorate the situation rather
than face it directly and work through it. The essence of a catastrophic situation is total
surrender to the discovery of that which is greater than
the personal self. The experiencing through completely
of a catastrophe brings us into a connection and a realHEALING AND RECOVERY 256
ization that there is something within ourself that has
the power to sustain, no matter how catastrophic the
experience appears to be. As a result, we come out on
the other side of it as a greater person with the aware
ness that there is something within, that there is a
Presence, a quality, or an aspect of life within that has
the power to sustain us through the most seemingly
impossible situations. If the catastrophic experience is not worked
through completely; there are certain residuals. It is like
we have only halfway fallen off the cliff. Some people
think they have walked off the cliff,but actually we
find that they were secretly crossing their fingers and
hanging onto some little outcropping or lifeline. The
abandonment to God was not really total, so a doubt
remains, and out of that doubt is the residual of, for
example, grief or fear of the experience. Ifwe do not
experience something greater than the personal self
when going through the experience, we may end up
with a limitation, a certain crippling, the inability to go
beyond a certain point, and the willingness to partici
pate becomes limited. The person says, "I would rather
live a limited life than face that kind of experience
again. I would rather never love again than to love and
10se. "The saying is, "'Tis better to have loved and lost,. than never to have loved at all:' The experiencing of
lOVingness puts us in touch with our Self, that which is
greater than our own limited, small self. The complete resolution brings us into conscious
contact with something that is greater than the personal
self. Many people who have tried this attest to the fact
that when they surrendered the small self to someHANDLING MAJOR CRISES 257
thing greater than themselves, they came into contact
with that which they considered to be'real'. That per
sonal inner experience of spiritual reality takes one
from book learning to a profound inner conviction. Out of this inner conviction comes the willingness to
re-enter life again, to participate in it, and to take the
risks and chances. What is the inner experience of hitting bottom. It
comes out of the feelings of hopelessness and despair;
the person's small self is saying,"I, of my own self, can
not handle this. " The person surrenders out of the
hopelessness, and from that comes the willingness to
let go, to surrender to something greater than oneself. At the very bottom, in the pits, one realizes and accepts
the truth that "I, of myself, my own individual personal
self, my own ego-self, am unable to handle this. I am
unable to resolve it. " It is out of this defeat that victory
and success arise. The phoenix rises out ofthe ashes of
despair and hopelessness. It is not the despair and
hopelessness that are of value but the letting go and
the realization of the limitation of the small self. In the
middle of the catastrophe, the person says,"I give up. I
cannot handle this," and then may consciously or
unconsciously ask God for help. Due to the law of free will and the nature of con
sciousness being what it is, it is said that the great
beings that are willing to help all of us are waiting for
us to say"yes:' It is the sudden turning from the bottom
of the barrel to the willingness to accept that there is
something greater than ourselves that we can turn to. When the person says, "If there is a God, I ask him to
help me," then the great transformative experiences 258 HEALING AND RECOVERY
happen that have been recorded throughout history
from the very beginning. The beginning of the great worldwide organization
of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) came out of such an
experience. Bill W, the famous founder of AA, had hit
bottom. He was in a state of total despair and hope
lessness and gave up the personal self. At the time, he
was a nonbeliever, but he said,"If there is a God, I ask
him to help me. " At that moment came a great trans
formative experience, the spiritual power ofwhich is
evidenced by the millions oflives that have been affected
by the energy that flowed out into the world as the
result of this man's sharing his spiritual experience. Obviously, letting go and hitting bottom are crucial. It is out of the awareness that we cannot change things
and are limited and powerless that we discover what
does have the power in the universe. That power
comes in and handles the experience, and we know
when that happens because of the profound state of
peace. Where there was agony, there is now a state of
infInite peace and an ineffable awareness of an InfInite
Presence. Historically, it has been a speCial occasion when a
realization of the truth has arisen, but that is not at all
necessary; it is only one type of experience. Actually,
this is the nature of spiritual work all the time. The per
son who is involved in spiritual work is always looking
at what is occurring in life, seeing it as the teacher, as
the grist for the mill. What is happening represents that
which is being worked on, so an acute catastrophe
would just be a continuation of the process that is
going on anyway. As a result, the person who is intensely HANDLING MAJOR CRISES 259
involved in spiritual work would then see it as a golden
opportunity, painful and regretful perhaps, but one of
great benefit. The essential nature ofspiritual work is to
remain focused on what arises from instant to instant
and become aware of'what'is experiencing andwhere
it is being experienced. There is a meditative and contemplative technique
that can be use to bring about the same result. It is the
process of constantly letting go of wanting to control
the experiencing as well as experiencing itself. There
then occurs the sudden realization that awareness is
being handled by some infinite aspect of conscious
ness (the Self); this may have been suspected previously
but not actually realized. After this realization, the. awareness of the Presence occurs more frequently. Out of this experience comes an ever greater will
ingness to rely on that inner Presence, with less and
less reliance on the small self. Less frequently, then,
does the person look to the small self to handle life's
problems, as there is a progressive willingness to
surrender to one's

        Childhood obesity is particularly dangerous, since the
child’s developing organism is less able to deal with the many complications of gross overweight
than that of an adult. Several British researchers have stated that for the first time in human history
it will be normal for parents to outlive their offspring. A hugely successful recent movie produced by Morgan Spurlock, “Super Size Me,” unveiled
the truth about the destructive effects of fast food. Spurlock, a healthy 33-year-old man undertook Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

him. Throughout the experiment he was regularly examined by gastro-enterologist Dr. Daryl
Isaacs, who declared that Spurlock was “an extremely healthy person who got very sick eating
this McDonald’s diet. ” At one stage the doctor even told Morgan Spurlock that his liver had turned
into pat é and asked him to stop his experiment. But the moviemaker persisted. At the end of the
month he reported, “I got desperately ill. My face was splotchy and I had this huge gut. { He gained
25 pounds in 30 days. } My knees started to hurt from the extra weight coming on so quickly. It
was amazing and frightening. ” On top of it all, his liver became toxic, his cholesterol shot up from
a low 165 to 230, his libido flagged and he suffered from headaches and depression. Within a few
days of beginning his ‘drive-through diet,’ Spurlock was vomiting out the window of his car, and
doctors who examined him were shocked by how rapidly his entire body deteriorated. Mothers cannot be solely blamed for their children’s faulty nutrition and inactivity. Very few
mothers receive any nutritional guidance from their pediatrician. The problem is that he doesn’t
know much about nutrition, either. All he has learned in medical school boils down to the usual
“protein, carbohydrates and fats” doctrine. And so he is unable to recognize the harm done by
the children’s favorite foods; for instance, that the animal products used in fast foods are heat-
damaged, poorly assimilated, too high in cholesterol and salt, but deficient in true nutrients—
vitamins, minerals and enzymes. As a result they don’t satisfy hunger, and so a vicious circle
is created, leading to overfed but undernourished children. If a child asks for more food after a
complete meal, the mother’s instinctive reaction is to dish out an extra portion; she doesn’t realize
that no additional amount of food will make up for the missing essential nutrients. The average American diet leaves children not only hungry but also with low energy, so they
spend a lot of their free time lounging around, doing nothing. Yet they would also like to play, win
at games, run, and eventually ‘show off to the girls. ’ To make up for their low energy, they start
to ‘look for something,’ and unfortunately find it, too. What they find are cola drinks containing
caffeine and sugar stimulants, cigarettes full of toxic substances, and eventually alcohol and street
drugs, giving a brief ‘high’ and leading to addiction. The same vicious circle affects adults, too. Since the conventional American diet is devoid
of live nutrients, the body remains unsatisfied and craves more—not quantity but quality, proper
nutrition that it needs to function smoothly and well. Sadly, people don’t know or understand this,
and so they try to satisfy their craving with rich desserts, ice cream, cakes and cookies. These
don’t satisfy, either, but they do create weight gain, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and
eventually diabetes and worse. Obesity is a morbid condition indeed, and can only be overcome
by changing to a junk-free, nutrient-rich wholesome diet. One doesn’t need a degree in nutrition to know that all kinds of sugar are fattening, and that
the modern Western diet with its vast range of convenience foods is over-rich in sugar. However,
when it comes to official policy concerning nutrition, such basic facts are often swept aside for Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>

microwave ovens carry an “Underwriter Laboratory” guarantee of safety, the general public is
led to believe that these ovens are safe to use. But that is not the case. Research carried out in Switzerland and elsewhere has shown that microwaves cause
harmful chemical reactions in food, damaging nutrients, producing unnatural molecules and
making natural amino acids toxic. The heat is uneven; it doesn’t reach the middle of solid food,
but produces ‘hot spots.’ Liquids can overheat and cause severe burns when the food is removed. To make things worse, these ovens emit radiation into the kitchen area even when not in use and
“cook the cook” (It is an interesting fact that for health reasons microwave ovens were banned in
the former Soviet Union as far back as 1976!) If you own one, get rid of it. If it is not removable,
unplug it, and be not tempted to use it under any circumstances. Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.comPots  and utensils
Any contact of food with aluminum causes small amounts (with some vegetables, e.g. tomatoes, large amounts) of aluminum to be dissolved and released into the food. This metal is
highly toxic; it causes brain damage and is believed to play a role in causing Alzheimer’s. Discard any and all aluminum items and don’t allow aluminum foil to come into contact with
food. Use stainless steel pots, preferably with heavy “waterless” bottoms; or glass (Pyrex) or
enameled cast iron pots. Stainless steel cooking utensils or wooden spoons are best; also silver
flatware, if available. Small amounts of colloidal silver, released from silver forks, spoons and
knives are valuable stimulants for the immune system. Do not use pressure cookers: they work at a very high temperature that damages nutrients,
and one of the basic Gerson rules is to cook food very slowly, at a low temperature, to avoid such
damage. The glaze used on some crockpots is toxic—best steer clear of them. Distillers
Surprising though this may sound, Gerson patients don’t drink water. There are two reasons
for this. On the one hand, their daily intake of 13 glasses of freshly made organic juices and fluid-
rich soup, salads and fruit provides them with all the top quality nutritious liquid they need. On
the other hand water would only dilute their already deficient digestive juices, without supplying
any nutrients. However, water is used in the Gerson Therapy in cooking, to make soups, teas, and
of course enemas, and it is vitally important to ensure the purity of this water. There are various
filter systems in the market, including reverse osmosis (R.O. ), which can only be


 weaknesses. We then pass them on to our children, who then pass
them on to their children. And with each successive generation, the cellular
patterns and functions become more chronic, causing disease symptoms to
appear now in infants. Through this process of genetic transmission we have
created frightening consequences. Many allopathic doctors claim that cancer is an autoimmune disease. However, I find this conclusion to be misleading, and commonly used as a
catch-all for the unawareness of the actual cause of disease processes. Your
body’s immune cells are especially designed to attack and consume weak,
mutant, dying or parasitically involved cells. This is especially true of thenatural killer cells (NK),including the T-cells (thymus) and B-cells (bone
marrow). These natural killer cells are much larger than the smaller
macrophages, neutrophils, basophils, etc., that do
basic body cleanup. We
have an army inside of us that is always active. This process is extremely
necessary for internal survival. The weaker a cell or tissue becomes from
inflammation, toxicity, or even genetics (and the parasitic response to these),
the more immune response will be needed. The increased elevation of white
blood cells is in response to all of the above, and especially to foreign
pathogens. DETOX FOR CANCER PREVENTION AND CURE

It is vital to clean, strengthen, and thus regenerate your cells and tissues. Detoxification is the process one must go through to accomplish this. Detoxification naturally begins as you alkalize yourself through a raw food
diet. This process strengthens cells by removing the obstructions and acids
that cause inflammation and block nutrition to your cells. Detoxification
allows cells to gain nutritional energy and to properly eliminate their wastes
via cellular respiration. This then begins the rebuilding process within the
body. It has been proven that diets high in animal protein are cancer causing. Animal protein is acidic (inflammatory), putrefactive and congestive. The
congestive aspect is caused by the mucus, formed from its abrasive and
putrefactive aspects. The toxic chemicals, vaccinations, and hormones eaten
by or injected into these animals also create tissue toxicity within the body. This causes your immune system to respond, causing inflammation. Meat
also causes a biochemical imbalance within your body. The high levels of
iron and phosphorous push out your calcium, magnesium, and other vital
electrolytes, which then weaken and dehydrate your body. As you can see and imagine, one cannot treat cancer, which is created by
the above, with chemotherapy that acts on the body like Draino® acts on
your plumbing system, or burn it away with radiation (fire), either. Both of
these choices cause more cancer, or cause cancer to move (metastasize) to
areas where these therapies have destroyed or weakened the cells and tissues. Radiation destroys the oxygen-carrying and utilization factors of a cell. However, glucose can still enter through the cell membrane wall. This
eventually causes fermentation within a cell, and that cell will die from auto-intoxication. This creates a delayed response. At first these treatments seem to reduce the tumor or stop the cancer. But
then watch out – cancer can explode throughout the entire body. Of course
this will invoke additional immune responses, creating the appearance of
“autoimmune problems.”
The bottom line in all cancers is overacidity/inflammation and the build-
up of cellular toxicity. Both lead to enervation or the loss of cellular energy
and function, thus the loss of systemic energy and health. This results in the
over-working of the immune system. Most of the tissues responsible for the
production of immune cells in cancer patients, especially the thymus gland
(where T-cells are produced) and the bone marrow (where B-cell production
takes place), become hypoactive. A HEALTHY LYMPH SYSTEM IS ESSENTIAL

With all of this in mind, it becomes vital that you understand your lymphatic
system. I have discussed this “sewer system of the body” in some detail in
Chapter 2
. Your lymphatic system is where ninety percent of all disease
processes begin. When this highway system is congested and cannot
eliminate well, it backs up the whole “sewer system” of the body, causing a
lack of or improper elimination of cellular/metabolic wastes (acids), as well as
toxic chemicals and metals that have been ingested. These toxins must be
eliminated or cellular death will result. Your lymph system is a vital part of your immune system. To enhance
your immune system,
clean out your lymphatic system first. Remember, your
kidneys, colon and skin are the exit doors of your lymphatic system. If your
septic system is obstructed or full, you don’t remove it, you clean it out. Most
people have lost proper kidney filtration. Their intestinal bowel walls are
impacted, and many don’t sweat well. This means that their doors are partly
closed in allowing their sewage or wastes to be properly eliminated. This then
backs up the lymphatic system and enlarges the lymph nodes. When this goes
on for many years, you will see all types of lymphomas, non-estrogen types
of breast cancer, throat cancer (especially when the tonsils have been
removed), and neck, colon, kidney, liver and many other cancers. Family Support
Over the past thirty years I have witnessed thousands of cancer patients gothrough our program and other programs, in Mexico and other countries. A
big factor in recovery is the support of friends and family members. Some people act as if they are sleeping through life, totally conditioned and
controlled by society in their thinking and reacting. Some, thank goodness,
are a little more open and aware of God and the unconditioned or
uncontrolled levels of awareness. Many people are afraid of what they don’t
know or haven’t learned or experienced. I have seen many family members
ridicule their loved ones for using natural health as a means of getting well. I
have seen them constantly tempting their loved ones with food and snacks
that they know are bad for them. I have seen friends do exactly the same
thing. This type of ridicule or disregard comes from unawareness and a lack of
understanding of the importance of their loved one’s or friend’s need to get
well, and the consequences if they don’t. Many family members have actually
helped to kill their mates or children by stopping them from using natural
healing as one of the only true ways to get well. Be strong about your decisions regarding health. One of the most important
factors in getting well is your strength and self-discipline. Spend time by
yourself. Getto know who you are. Become strong within yourself. This is
your
 road to health, no one else’s. This will allow you to be strong with your
friends and loved ones. Teach them what you have learned, as everyone
needs to get well. Remember, most people ignore their health problems until it is too late. Don’t
be one of them. Get yourself well and healthy now, and be an inspiration to
others. This is why detoxification is essential in the elimination of cancer. By
alkalizing and cleansing your tissues and fluids, your cells will begin to
strengthen, and the sludge of toxins that snuff the life out of your cells will be
gone. This then brings a tremendous joy, energy, and vitality. Out of 100 clients who came to our clinic and followed a detoxification
regimen, 80 were able to eliminate their cancers. I know of no better way to
heal, clean and rebuild the body than through detoxification and regeneration
of its cells, through diet and herbs. If you take
responsibility for your health
and open your heart, it is unbelievable what you can accomplish. Don’t allow
anybody to tell you that there is nothing that can be done. We’ve had
individuals who were given only one day or even hours to live who pulledthemselves back. In the last thirty years I have seen some amazing results in
regeneration. Never compromise your immune system or let anyone destroy
it. And most importantly, do not have your lymph nodes removed. The
consequences can be devastating. Don’t treat, regenerate! MODULE 5.6
Neurological Disorders and Injuries

It saddens me to see so many quadriplegics and paraplegics in this world with
supposedly no help. Nothing could be further from the truth. My first tough
case was a thirty-four-year-old female who had a spinal injury at the C3-C4
level. At the time of the accident she had a complete spinal severation. This
accident occurred when she was twelve years old, and left her with only
movement of her head. She had immense spasms and was in extreme pain. It
took me eleven months, but this young lady went from severe degeneration
throughout her body (she could only move her wheelchair by a tongue-
operated control) to the ability to shake your hand and lift either leg as many
times as you wanted her to. She could “feel” from head to toe. Another case involved a man in his early twenties who had a C4-C5 level
injury. He had been paralyzed from his upper body down to his feet for two
years. Within six months on our program his nerve response was helping him
to move his feet and he could stool on his own. This was quite significant, as
quadriplegics and most paraplegics lose their ability to have a bowel
movement on their own. This


. In some heart
conditions even small amounts of salt are dangerous! The heart muscle is governed by the balance of natural,
organic sodium (found in kelp, celery, fruits, vegetables, etc.) and calcium salts in the blood. Salt upsets this vital
action, increasing the heartbeat and causing high blood
pressure which affects millions, plus liver and kidneydisease! Statistics show  Japan ese have hi ghest salt intake

The best way to lengthen life is to avoid shortening it - stop salt! It’s strange that some men will drink and eat anything put

blood pressure in the average person. But how about
the effects of salt on those millions suffering from our
country’s most prevalent ailment, obesity? Here is acritical area for research, because excess weight is known
to be frequently accompanied by high blood pressure. Is there a link between the overweight individual’s highblood pressure and his salt intake? The answer is ahead! The Myth of the “Salt Lick”
Is a low-salt diet a deficient diet? Don’t we need
plenty of salt in our diets to keep us in top physical
condition? This is a popular notion, but is it true? People
will tell you that animals will travel for miles to visit socalled “salt licks”. I investigated salt licks where wild
forest animals congregate from miles around to lick the
soil. Although all of these sites were known as “salt licks”,the one chemical property they all had in common was
a complete absence of sodium chloride. There was
absolutely no organic or inorganic sodium at the saltlicks. But they all had an abundance of other organic
minerals and nutrients which the animals craved. Why Cows are Given Large Amounts of Salt
A man who puts his investment in a dairy farm is in
it to make all the profit he can. Dairy farmers found by
giving cows salt blocks to lick, they drink more water.The more water they drink, the more milk produced. Most cows are sick, mass fed and drugged! web:nomilk.com
But the result is that the average quart of milk
contains the extremely high content of 12 grams ( 1,500
mgs) of salt per quart! Go past any American school and
look at the children. You will be amazed by how manyof them are overweight, lack stamina and the spark of
youth. Most are heavy drinkers of commercial milk, and
most foods they eat contain high concentrations of salt!18
Pure water is the essential fluid of life... the solvent of
our ills and the deliverer of a radiant long life. Use your willpower and better judgement to select and eat
only the foods which are best for you, regardless of the ridicule
or gibes of your friends or acquaintances. – Dr. Richard T. FieldAmericans Are Salt-A-Holics! Go into supermarkets and look at canned, bottled
and frozen foods. All of them are loaded with salt! Plus
there’s salt in milk, ice cream, prepared vegetables andmost commercial foods. Add it all up and you can see
why heart disease is the # 1 killer in America! We are a
nation of salt-a-holics! Cheese, frozen and cannedvegetables, breads, potato and corn chips, and most all
popular foods are saturated with salt. Even commercial
baby foods contain salt! Read labels! Don’t buy salt! Death Valley Hike Proved Salt Dangerous
Most people have the preconceived idea that salt lost
through perspiring must be immediately replaced. Many
factories supply salt tablets to their workers. They
mistakenly believe these are helpful! But are these salttablets necessary? In my opinion: “NO!”
To prove definitely to myself that I did not need salt
during extremely hot weather, I went to Death Valley,
California, one of the hottest spots in the entire world
during July and August. On my first test I hired 10husky, strong young college athletes to make the hike
in Death Valley from Furnace Creek Ranch to Stovepipe
Wells, a distance of approximately
30 miles. The boys had salt tablets and all the water they could
drink... and a station wagon filled with plenty of food
that contained salty foods like bread, buns, crackers,cheese, luncheon meats and hot dogs. They each ate,
drank and took as many salt tablets as they desired. I
had no salt, no food, only water during the 30 mile hike.We began the hike on a sweltering July morning. The
higher the sun rose, the hotter it became! Up went the
heat until at noon it stood at
130 degrees – a dry, hot
heat that seemed to want to melt and defeat all of us!19
Mother Nature is man’s teacher. She unfolds her treasures to his search,
unseals his eyes, illuminates his mind and purifies his heart. –Alfred B. Street
Change your mind and change to a healthy lifestyle and your
life and body will sparkle with health and joy! –  Patricia BraggThe college boys gobbled the salt tablets and guzzled
quarts of cool water. For lunch they drank cola drinks
with ham and cheese sandwiches. We rested a half hour
after lunch and then continued our rugged hike acrossthe red hot blazing sands. Soon things were beginning
to happen to those strong, husky college boys. First, 3 of them got violently ill and threw up all they
had eaten and drunk for lunch. They got dizzy and turned
deathly pale and great weakness overcame them. They
quit the hike immediately! They were driven back to theFurnace Creek Ranch in poor condition. The hike went
on with
7 college athletes continuing. As we hiked, they
drank large amounts of cold w ater, soft drinks and took
more salt tablets. Then suddenly 5 of them got stomach
cramps and became deathly ill. Up came the drinks and
their lunch. These 5 had to be driven back to the ranch. That left but 2 out of 10 hikers. It was now about 4
pm and the merciless sun beat down on us with great
fury. Almost on the hour, the last remaining salt tablet-eating athlete collapsed under that hot, burning sun andhad to be rushed back to the ranch for medical care. Only the Non-Salt User Finishes Hike
That left me alone on the test... and I felt as fresh as
a daisy! I was not full of salt tablets and I was not full of
food because I was on a complete fast. The college boys
wanted cold drinks, but I drank only pure distilled water,not chilled. I finished the
30 mile hike in around 102
hours and I had no ill effects whatsoever! I camped out
for the night. The next day I arose early and hiked
another 30 miles back to the ranch without food or salt tablets. The doctors gave me a thorough examination and
found me in perfect condition! I am ready and willing torepeat this hike across Death Valley, California for any
scientific group that wants to do research on man’s
mythical “need” for salt. (
I get organic sodium from my food. )20
Ruts long traveled can grow comfortable.Historical Proof That Salt is Not Needed
Rommel’s German-Afrikan Corps swept across the
gates of Egypt, fought and lost a hard battle at El Alamein. Then they retreated over miles of blazing desert. Yet,
when the war was over, the English found the capturedtroops in good physical condition, even though the
German soldiers were not supplied with salt tablets. This
story – just as my own Death Valley hike, which wasalso performed in the blazing desert sun – supports the
findings of many experiments performed on humans
with a non-salt diet under hot desert conditions. What happens, according to the scientific studies, is
that: after the first few days of becoming acclimatized,
the subjects stop losing salt through perspiration.Apparently there is a normalizing mechanism at work
that conserves the sodium in the body. The comfortable
endurance during all weather conditions of people onrigid, salt-poor diets shows that the “need” for added
salt in hot weather has been greatly exaggerated. There is enough naturally occurring sodium in most
vegetables, celery, soy beans, seaweeds and other foodsthat have not been processed or supplemented with
common table salt. These natural foods can supply the
needed organic sodium required by the body. Proof ofthis is also found in the past histories of many races
throughout the world who have never used salt. The Native Americans knew nothing about salt when
the first explorers landed. Columbus and all the explorers
of the American continent found wonderful physical
specimens when they arrived. Sad fact – the physicaldegeneration of people often follows the introduction
of salt, alcohol, refined, fast foods and toxic chemicals! I have made over

of brainy desire makes it particularly hard to

example  of civilizcd  man's  beastliness  and
animality  is his passion for sex, but in fact there is
almost nothing  beastly or animal about it. Animals

which is usually in  sorne  sort  of rhythmic  pattern. Between  whiles  it does not intercst them. But of
ali pleasures sex is the  one which the civilizcd man

the common  impotence  of the  male when he
comes to the act, his brain pursuing  what ·his
genes do not at  the moment desire. This  confuses
him  hopelessly,  bccause  he simply  cannot

understand  not wanting  the great  delicacy  of sex
when it is available. He has becn hankering after it
for hours and days on end, but when the realily ap•
pears  bis body  will not co-operatc. As in eating his "eyes are biggcr than his stomach,"
so in love he judges woman by standards that are
largely visual and cerebraÍ ·ráther than sexual and
visceral. He is attracted to his partner by the surface
gloss, by the film on the skin rather than  the real
body. He wants somelhing with abone structure  likc
a boy's which  is supposed to support  the exterior
curves and smooth undulations of femininity -not a
woman but an inflated rubber <lream. The function
of sex itself remains, however, so much  in che domain
of "instinctual wisdom" that liule  can be done to in -
crease its already intense pleasure, to make it faster,
fancicr, and more frcquent. The only means of ex -

in their  place. And  they are very  much  out of
place  when  we try to adapt  our biological
rhyLhms  of eal- ing, sleeping,  evacualion,
working, and relaxing to their  uniform  circular
rotation. Our slavery  to thesc  mcchanical  drill
masters  has gone  so far and our whole  culture
is so involved  with  it that  reform  is a forlorn
hope;  without  them civilization  would col- lapse
entirely. A less brainy culture would learn  to
synchronize  its body rhythms rather than  its
clocks. The capacity of the brain to foresee the
future has  much  to do with  the fear  of death. Onc  knows  of
many  pcople  who  would  have  said  with
Slevenson,

tired,  the whole organism welcomes death. But it
is diffi - cult to understand how death can be
welcome when  you are young and strong, so that
you come to regard  itas a dread and lerrible

 concisely—
the mind being normal only when the humanizing predispositions
predominate, ensuring a wholeness of function in which
benevolence and beauty prime, ruli ng out all that is mean, selfish
and inhuman and providing a sense of joy and meaningfulness in
living. In such a happy state, the sub-human stages which the mind of
every individual must carry, are silent. But they are easily aroused by any condition which wars against the forces of humanization. Lovelessness, a violent, mean, drab existence in an ugly hostile
world, become the historical and well-nigh universal causes of an
incipient mental pathology, the clash between beauty and the
aroused beast, expressed in world-wide myths. As the sub-human
minds are aroused, so the sub-human and anti-human passions that
go with them come to take over human lives. The mind is not without resources of defence against this
disturbing onslaught. The humanizing predispositions are
intensified, and given a social boosting, a process Freud described
as the influence of the super-ego. But because the pressures can
never be completely deviated by an imposed morality and social
censure, by religious and other s ublimating agencies, all societies
have provided for periodical venting of accumulated pressures,
indispensable for their survival with some degree of integration and
order, from competitive gambits and games, to warfare. It is not
difficult to find numerous examples in the competitive structures of
daily existence. The sadism, lust, and violence in entertainment are
such outlets. These existentially aroused subhuman aspects of the mind,
purulently affecting human behaviour, refer to a time anteceding the
human genesis. They know nothing of beauty, of order, of harmony,
of selflessness and love. Like all animal passions, they are
instinctual, immediately demanding, callous and blind. Beauty,
goodness and purity become obstacles to their venting. Although a preoccupation with the mystical and the occult is a
normal human interest, an expression of man's defiance of matter
and time, the magical is clearly antihuman, in its relish of the
macabre, the sordid, and the ugly. While mystical experience is
invariably associated with b eauty, the magical purposefully
excludes beauty and obliges a relish in the obscene and the
excremental. Today, there is a discernible arousal of the magical
mind. Indeed magic has never been fully quenched by the rise of
reason; many aspects of so called civilized life reveal it. Eating
habits are not without their magical asides. If the mark of the human is a n eed for the beautiful, and if the
magical shows itself by a relish for the hideous, it is simple enough
to pick out the features of the diet which are magical—the bloody
joint, the dripping steak, organs like the kidney concerned with filth
elimination, foul smelling foods, the desecration of living things
which the killing and cooking of any animal entails. This magical
relish can go to extremes, which then acquire a gruesome twist, as
in the chewing of eyeballs and the gobbling of brains, the sucking of
marrow and the savouring of testicles. The point is that once the magical mind is aroused, such
practices are felt to be exciting, strength giving, in dispensable, and
in fact become supported by a corrupted reason, by science itself. Just as the politician uses his reason to justify an atomic overkill,
entailing the murder of millions, so the nutritionist assures one that
fried brains are a good source of protein. This is the frailty of
reason—its easy misuse for inhuman ends by minds no longer
sufficiently irradiated by the humanizing resources. There is a sinister ally to such humanly debasing habits. Protein
products foreign to the normal physiology of the body provoke
chaotic reactions when eaten. In a wild attempt to allay the intruding substances, the body produces too mu ch of the allaying chemicals,
an excess which has the malicious result of demanding more, and
ever more, of the foreign substances. The essential abnormality of
all animal foods is shown by the habituation and craving they
provoke, a demand which can come to defy all sense and economy. In this manner, eating habits which comply with the secret
desires of a disturbed mind are fortified by an insidious
biochemistry. Food habits also reflect the life-hatred which goes with a
hardening of the heart to a harden ed existence, as in the barely
believable hideousness of the d eath-dealing industries supporting
every civilized table. This life-hatred, and the hatred of nature
which accompanies it, goes back to the onset of the Ice Ages, which
chased the earliest humans from thei r earthly paradise. No longer
guided by instinct, but by cortical conditioning, human beings are
able to adopt virtually any ruse in order to survive, no matter how
unbiological. But the fact that humanization occurred in idyllic
conditions, left humans badly equippe d for the periodical geological
and climatic cataclysms of earth hist ory. While in all other animals,
instinct would insist that the normal habits were reverted to as soon
as conditions returned to normal, in the case of man, cortical
conditionings, revived in each succeeding generation by social
customs, tend to persist. Animal foods, and the vast machinery of
suffering their eating entails, have become one of the most
entrenched of social customs, defended by science as natural and
beneficial, and ardently insisted upon by the public. Admittedly, attempts are made to give such horrible habits a
veneer of aesthetic appeal. Cooking of animal foods removes the
reek of raw flesh, and sauces help to smother the sheer animality of
the ingredients. Here and there, vegetables, fruits and even flowers
come into the decoration of some recipe as if to humanize the
offence, sometimes ludicrously, as the ears of roast pork stuffed
with flowers. But the underlying ugliness is scarcely covered, as
most children show in their initial protests. One is entitled to enquire how it is  that science, which claims to
operate on impartial reasoning, has failed to point out the
unbiological and irrational features in such patently inhuman habits. The environmental crisis is proof enough that science is no impartial
observer to the follies of an age, of a culture, and indeed serves
them faithfully. Most scientists, and science as a whole, show the
same spirit of aggressiveness and in consideration regarding nature
which dominated Palaeolithic existence. The science of nutrition shows this insensitivity more than
most. While physics and astronomy tend to attract the philosophers,
nutrition seems to entice the extroverts, with an aversion to more
profound thinking, in league with the disinclination to food
fussiness shared by the common man. The fact is that nutritional
science arose in a time when the industrial revolution had so
disorganized an ancient way of life as to make poverty and
undernutrition the rule among the masses, and the European
influence in many parts of the world had sabotaged long-tried food
habits and let loose widespread starvation. Nutrition has accordingly
been haunted by insufficiency, and has been preoccupied with
ensuring quantity. It is only quite recently that excess has been seen
as a danger as much as deficiency. But the philosophy of biology has also been guilty of failing to
provide such a subsidiary science as nutrition with proper guidance. Vicing to comply with the mechanical ideals, most biologists have
been singularly blind to the most explicit characteristic of life, its
functional integration and wholeness, in terms of which alone a
living organism can be normal. As a result, biological thinking has
largely missed the meaning of normality, and commonly mistaken
the average for the normal. Accordi ng to this crude way of thinking,
since most people are in some way sick, sickness must be the
normal human condition, and since most people like eating meat,
meat eating is normal. Nutrition, in line with the thinking and
feeling of the age, has been crude and permissive, backing the
common greeds and perversions of taste with the hollow voice of
authority. As a result, bad, inhuman food habits, inherited from the Ice
Ages, have been made more wid espread and acceptable than they
might otherwise have been, for in the past, the peasantries,
whenever circumstances permitted, adopted dietary habits much
closer to the human norm than usually prevails among the
scientifically guided civilized. Under the banner of emancipation,
nutritional science has in fact help ed to make available to the
masses the greeds and perversions once the preserve of the
privileged classes. Nature is not mocked. The price paid for this conspiracy is
colossal. Given sufficient time, science may well become wiser and
a better guide. In the past decades, its crudities have given way to a
greater degree of sensitivity, of humility when faced with the
complexities of living phenomena. But there is in all probability not
enough time. In hatred and ugliness, man will have exterminated his
own kind long before. It has beco me a desperate survival necessity
to find an alternative meaning to being human, a change which is
likely to demand a revolution in all human aspects and activities,
most of all, in that


ried. It wasn’t until this fourth confirmed miscarriage that additional  blood work led to a diagnosis of antiphospholipid antibody
syndrome. I gave up on birthing another child, because I did not want to take the  drugs or risks involved, nor subject a child to
them, either. In retrospect, it seems clear to me that my high-fat die t caused this condition and/or greatly contributed to it. After
following Dr. Graham’s raw vegan program, including the reduced fat, which I feel is key, my observable symptoms of the
autoimmune condition have either reduced or completely disappeared. And th at is amazing. Since our son is now an adult, we are not sure if we will attempt to birth an y more children at this point. But at least I feel like
it is a viable option again. Now that I am enjoying the best health and vit ality of my life, I am confident that I would have a successful
pregnancy and a healthy child, if I were to become pregnant while followi ng the 80/10/10 plan. Symptoms Gone Since 80/10/10
My condition tended to make my blood clot more readily, which affected my periods (a nd also caused the miscarriages). I no longer
get the clots with my periods, nor the weird hormonal “off” feelings I’ d get from ovulation through menstruation. I no longer bruise mysteriously and easily with the littlest of b umps or pressure. In fact, it’s hard to get a bruise these days,
even if I have some pretty major thing happen. Lesser events gave  me major hematomas before. I also don’t get the “restless leg
syndrome” all night anymore, or that pain in the veins and arteries  of my legs that felt like a clot was forming (that got worse with
aspirin or fish oil taken too late in the day). I don’t know if it’s all gone yet, but I definitely know my condition isn’t g etting worse (as it was when following the instructions
of my MD and chiropractor). I do plan to get my blood tested when I can for th e numerical proof; however, I don’t really think I
need it anymore. I am fairly convinced that the condition is gone, or lowere d to such a degree that it is not a problem anymore. Unexpected Gains and Benefits
Dr. Graham’s program has improved my life not only in the ways I had ho ped for, but also in ways I never imagined were possible. I have eaten 100% raw, low-fat vegan for more than four years so far, and thi ngs are still getting better every day. It’s amazing—
absolutely amazing. When I first read about Dr. Graham’s program, it made total sense to me  and had the “ring” of truth. I had some questions
about the volume and frequency of food at first, but soon learned (from my body) tha t my body agreed with even those
recommendations. Admittedly, I tend to lean toward Natural Hygiene, an d Dr. Graham’s recommendations are about the simplest
and most efficient way of following Natural Hygiene I’ve found. With every other diet change, my results were much more subtle tha n this. I’ve eaten variations of the standard American diet
(SAD), SAD with no red meat, lacto-ovo vegetarian, lacto-vegetarian, v egan, vegan macrobiotic, vegan Natural Hygiene, and even
raw (the living foods way), and others. I felt improvements with each die t change in different ways, but nothing came close to what
I’ve experienced with Dr. Graham’s low-fat 80/10/10  diet. It’s worlds—no, universes—no, even more than that—different, and
better. I just can’t begin to describe the difference. My health has far  surpassed the condition it has ever been in for as far back as I
can remember. I have experienced improvements in my energy, vitalit y, abilities, attitude, and appearance that I never even imagined
were possible. I don’t get so w orn out at the end of the day anymore, and I sleep much more restfully. I have  a new level of joy in
my life, and I experience daily the plain enjoyment of being aliv e. I’m feeling less shy and more adventurous socially as well, so I’m
more outgoing. I am back to the clothing sizes I wore once I reached my adult height at th e age of thirteen, yet am firmer and stronger than I
was then. The stretch marks from the pregnancy of my now eighteen- year-old son have become firmer and less saggy—even when
I’m on my hands and knees. I now get regular and varied exercise and plen ty of recreation. I have greater strength, power, agility,
muscle, and overall physical and mental abilities than ever before. I recently broke a toe 90 minutes into a terrific Ashtanga yoga practic e session, while I was doing a jump-through on a cement
floor and didn’t quite lift enough (as I’m still a beginner)—oops! I h ad broken that toe on the other foot before 80/10/10  and had
such a rough time with it back then. This time, even though it took a lot m ore to break the toe, it hardly swelled up, so it didn’t really
hurt afterward. I am also more in touch with my body, so the toe healed much mor e quickly and smoothly than before. Last time I
had to tape the toes together, wear a special shoe to walk, and keep it up for s everal weeks, in pain. This time my toe “said” it
didn’t want taping.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        (I prefer vegan fertilizers and compost that don’t contain a nimal products or manure. ) People find this difficult to hear, but I also believe that if you live where farmer’s markets and organic ally grown tropical fruits are not available, you would do well to
consider relocating. Of course, growing your own food would be best of all, and I hig hly recommend doing so, whenever possible. 2) We wash our produce. A hundred years ago, people tended to bathe once a week or less, on average, and they  did not concern themselves with
fastidiously washing the surfaces of their fruits and vegetables  as they do these days. In part, this is another result of agrochemical
food production, as people have been misled to believe that pesticide residues ca n be adequately washed off by rinsing or scrubbing
the outsides of their produce. In the past, when people ate lettuce, celery, carrots, and other vegetable s fresh from the ground, the soil left clinging to the
vegetables often contained vitamin B 12. They also obtained the nutrient from the bacteria-laden dirt that acc umulates near the stems
of apples, peaches, pears, and other core and stone fruits. But between the che micals we apply to the soils and our obsessive fear
of germs and bacteria, we effectively eliminate this source of the n utrient, as well. 3) We cannot absorb the B 12  we eat. Meat eaters easily consume enough B 12  because the bacteria that make it, live in the digestive tracts of li vestock, and it is distributed
in the muscle meats of the animals they eat. As described earlier, v egans who eat organically grown plants from richly composted
soils, and who don’t compulsively wash their produce, should also get ple nty of the nutrient. In both of these cases, vitamin B 12  deficiency is usually only a problem if you lack a chemical calle d the “intrinsic factor,”
which causes people to be unable to absorb B 12. How does this occur. It seems that intrinsic factor production is reduce d as
dietary fat increases. This is by far the most common cause of B 12  deficiency. Doctors can easily test whether a person has a normal
ability to absorb B 12. For those who do not, no amount of the vitamin in the diet will help. Thus, all of u s, vegetarians and meat
eaters alike, are at risk of B 12  deficiency. A high-fat diet increases this risk substantially, for two reasons. F irst, the colonies of B 12 -producing bacteria in our intestines
utilize carbohydrates for fuel. As the amount of fat in our diets goes up, t he amount of carbohydrate goes down, thus reducing the
quantity of fuel available to the microbe. Less fuel results in a smal ler colony and an overall decrease in B 12  production. Second, the
B12  uptake sites in our intestines become clogged when there is excess fa t in the diet, further reducing B 12  absorption. When
reduced B 12  production is coupled with impaired absorption, the likelihood of B 12  deficiency becomes predictable. 4) Medical B 12  standards are artificially high. The situation is further complicated by the fact that many refi ned starchy foods are “enriched” with a synthetic form of vitamin B 12. When doctors test for “normal” B 12  levels, their results are skewed towards the high end by the fact that  most people eat these
foods (mostly grain products—cereals, breads, pasta, cookies, cakes, etc. ) on a daily basis. People who eat a grain-free diet not
supplemented


Radiance of Divinity. At that point, the mind falls silent in awe. Q: Y ou say that few people ever transcend the level of Reason, and that
the mind is the gr eatest block to Enlightenment. What do you
r ecommend as a way to get beyond it. A:  T he good new s is that the mind is already 99 percent silent. If 99
percent of the m ind weren’ t silent, you wouldn’ t even know what you are
thinking. It’ s because of the si lence of the forest that you can hear the
birdsong. The forest is 99 percent silent and 1 percent birdie. It’ s only
because you listen to the 1 percent that the forest seems noisy. Y ou’re
hypnotized by the 1 percent. It’ s a hypnotic trance with the content  of mind,
so what you do is shift to the context  o f silence out of which the co ntent
emer ges. Ego identifies with content. Spirit is context, which is silence. The min d is like a giant football  stadium where everyone has go ne home
and you ’re the only one in the e ntire stadium. Over in the corn er, there’ s a
small ra dio play ing, and you get focused on that radio, and you say, “This is
a no isy stadium. ” Y ou think your mind is noisy, because you’re focused on
the 1 percent, w hich you think of as “me. ” It isn’ t the mind that’ s an
obstruction to Enlightenment; i t’ s your identification  with the working of
the m ind as “me. ” Y ou think, That’ s w ho I am. Th at 1 percent  has various
devices to keep you hypnotized. It likes to politicize, moralize, analyze,
romanticize, cr iticize, idealize, emotionalize, dramatize, h ypothesize,
theologize, fant asize, catastrophize, and so on. That’ s all the content of
mind. The silence is the conte xt. The relationship between content and
context is what spiritual work i s all about. In meditative or contemplative
style, you constantly surrender all content, as it arises. W e surrender to God;
we do so in the interest of context. Q: Beyond the states of Enlightenment and Self-r ealization, you have
described the state of “Nothingness,” classically called the “V oid. ” Is
ther e any pr eparation. A:  Mi sinterpretati ons of the teac hings of the Buddha misidentify the
meaning of “V oid” and identify the Nothingness/V oid as the ultimate state,
which it decidedly is not, as de termined by both consciousness-calibration
research and subjective experience. In t raditional spiritual languaging, each of these advanced levels is
“guarded” by the “dragons” of a  duality. This is especially true at level 850,where th e presenting limitation to be transcended is the conun drum of the
seeming opposites/alternatives of whether the ultimate Reality is Allness
versus Nothingness, or is Existence versus Nonexistence. The V oid of No thingness calibrates at 850 and is the end point of the
pathway of negation that denies the reality of every thing  or any thing  (that
is, the linear form or “thingness” as attachment). The error that follows is
the p resumption  that the transce ndence of all form is the sole c ondition of
Buddhahood. This is an easy m istake to make, because experientially, the
condition of the V oid is eno rmously impressive. As it unfolds, it is
inef fable, infinit e, timeless, One, all-encompassing, still, silent, unmoving,
and strangely inclusive of the “ awareness of nonawareness” that precludes
even beingness or existence. T his state is definitely and ex perientially,
without question, beyond dualit y. There is neither subject n or obje ct; there
is nothin g left to surrender and  no one left to surrender; thus, it indeed
seems to be the  ultimate state itself. Another dif ficulty at that level is that
there are  no teachers with whom to consult, share, or reflect confirmation,
much less instruction, for the state is indeed wondrous, and the need for
such a direction would not seem to be necessary or present itself for
confirmation. If the state of V oid (Nothingness) were the ultimate reality, it would be a
permanent cond ition, and there would be no entity to report it. However, it
is no t, and ther efore, sooner or later, one leaves the V oid and returns to
conscious existence. Next occurs the subjective experiential phenomenon of
suddenly emer ging into Existence from the oblivion of the V oid. (In this
lifetime, the occurrence for me was at age three, as described in  the “About
the A uthor” section. Suddenly, o ut of Nothingness and nonawareness, there
was the shock of not only Exis tence but also the discovery of  physicality
and that  a body accompanied t he return from Nothingness to Beingness. Thus, in this lif etime, the dilemma at calibration level 850 w as initially
presented strong ly in early life, and it recurred later, at which time it was
rejected and transcended. It took 38 years to resolve. ) The Kno wingness needed to transcend this level is that Divine Love is
also nonlinear and without subje ct, object, form, conditionality, or location. The limitation (incompleteness) of the V oid is reached as a consequence of
intense dedication to the pathway of negation; however, missing is the
realization that Love is a primary quality of Divinity and is als o nonlinear,
and that  spiritual love is not an attachment. The error of the pathway ofnegation is to misidentify and refuse Love because, in it s ge neral, or dinary
human e xperience, it is a limitat ion and an attachment (between a “me” and
a “you” or an “it”). In contrast, Divine Love is predominant, powerful, and overwhelming,
and is the prima ry quality or essence of the Presence. It is pr ofound and
unconditional, w ith no subject or object. It is not an emotio nality but a
condition or a s tate that is libe rating rather than limiting. The V oid (cal. 850) is compar able to infinite, empty, conscious space. In contrast, the
Presence of Divinity is like the heart of the sun. There is no mistaking it, for
the Love is realized as the very core and Source of one’ s primary Self. Q: What is the final step. A:  E ventu ally, by surrendering every state to God, you enter a space
beyond all previous spaces. As each state comes on, be willing to
experience an even greater dimension. There is a state beyond all the prior
states. A state of pure austerity. I have spoken of it as the High Pass, and
detail it here because readers of this book will confront these s tates. When
you have surrendered everything to God through meditation and
contemplation, and let go of all attachments and aversions, you reach a very
High Pass where there is no one. In the High Pass, you’ve let go of the
attachment to the details of life, money and power, prestige, and  excitement
and thrills. There is nothing left except your own life. Y ou’ve let go of
everything this world cherishes, surrendered it all to God. Now, what do
you have left to surrender to God. Y our very life. In that moment, you
realize, I have nothing left. I surr ender my life to Thee, O Lor d. W ith that, there is a terrible fe ar of dying. When you exper ience the
agony of dying, you know you’ re in the right place. This is the  agony that
you agreed to go through. That which you have believed you were,
throughout all these lifetimes, al l the way back to eternity, practically down
to th e level of  the bacteria, n eeds to be surrendered. All through the
evolution of consciousness, that which you believed to be the very core of
your existence, you are now asked to surrender. The fea r of nonexistence comes up again. And then comes the
Knowingness th at it’ s safe to lay down your life to God, because you will
have the inner k nowingness, “A ll fear is illusion. W alk straig ht ahead nomatter what. ” That was the Knowingness that came from many lifetimes
ago. Th at Knowingness has to come through with an absolute certainty
from ha ving heard it from that which has walked through the p ass. That is
why I am telling you this right now. “All fear is illusion. ” Y ou lay down
your life  and surrender it to G od. Then, the Splendor of Div inity shines
forth as All That Exists now or  forevermore. That is the final doorway to
the U nknowingn ess and Allness of Divinity. Y ou thereby have owned your
own div


 the characteristics
age inherent in this segment of life, and people in 40 years - all
symptoms of youth encountered in this age. The fact that these
facts are often reversed, forcing us to question
the assumption that the condition of the body is irreversibly linked
with the number of years lived by us. We should not be hindered
in the sense that, although age and is expressed in time, but time
is not the cause of the aging process. For example, take the stone,
washed with water. It varies in time, but not the time grinds
it, it makes water. The aging process takes time, but time -
this is not the cause of grinding. Two stones, subjected to the same extent the process of grinding
water, cleared at different rates depending on their hardness
and density. For the same reason two people under the same
destructive factors are aging at different rates, depending
of individual resistance degrading agents. Stone wears faster or slower depending on the
amount of water flowing around it: if it is small, stone washed
slowly if the water a lot, then erase faster. Also
and a person is aging rapidly or slowly, depending on the number of
destructive influences to which he is exposed. A few extend the example: imagine a self-healing
rock. First, she polished under water. Then
128
128water stopped her wash. Rock begins to "repair"
themselves and recover most of the lost material. in the human body will be ecological process
(He is self-repairing), when the causes of aging
eliminated. The body is able to break down part of damaged structures and replace
them fresh, update the cells by removing accumulated
them as "loads" and "repair" their damaged parts. Speaking
figuratively, the human body itself is able to actively
manage their own affairs and be constructive. Man is so made that can live longer and better than he
doing it now. He will live much longer
years than now, and enjoy the absolute health and energy. It should not languish in the 60 years of age or earlier. But in fact, for
excluding deaths from accidents and murders, people die
from disease. If we lived in such a way that the development of disease
was prevented, we will not only be able to live longer than
think at the moment, but we could live, having a physical
and mental strength. Aging is defined as "the accumulation of changes in the body,
increase the risk of death of the individual over
time ". It simply means that aging is a
slow accumulation of pathological (painful) changes
in tissues and organs, damage to the structures of the body and slow
deterioration of its vital functions. Old age - it's just one more
chronic disease. This is the reason that we can
age, sooner or later, and some people in the 70 years younger than other
forties. Aging takes place in time, but time is not the cause
him. Consequently, no matter what way to accurately determine
human physiological age, it is important that we have found
and found out the causes of aging. Eliminate the cause
aging and physiological age let him take care of itself. Argue that no one knows exactly what the changes
organism, leading to aging, or what exactly these changes. Consider the experiences of the famous French scientist, Dr. Alekensa
Karel, author of "Man - a creature unknown. Supporting
living fragments of chicken hearts for many
years, he found that they grew older, unless exempt from waste
accumulated in their cells. In other words, they grew older because of
accumulation in the cultural environment in which they were held, products
- Waste of their own metabolism. If these wastes are regularly
output so that the cells they are not poisoned, the heart of the chicken
not been aging. It is very important evidence that aging
is the result of chronic saturation of toxic substances. Unfortunately, an important discovery has attracted too little attention
perhaps because they did not find a way to use it. 129
129Karel experience and many other similar allowed scientists to make
Finally, the cells potentially immortal. in normal
state, they continue to divide and re-share, but they do not
die. Death is an abnormal phenomenon. However,
under normal conditions of life, we observe that the cells at the
actually grow old and die in large numbers. For an infinite
continuation of life all conditions must be favorable. When the cells are potentially immortal, as scientists now think,
and the organism as a complex of aging, it is obvious that one of the two
is true. Or functional specialization of cell
groups - the body's organs is irrelevant or absent
coordination of cell groups in the body. Perhaps there are
both these factors. If one or both of these assumptions are true,
the question arises: is the discrepancy between the specialization or
discrepancy Coordination primary (initial) state
life or whether it (inconsistency) is the result of
installed and removable causes. If this initial state,
we can not hope to prevent more than a short
period of time the process of aging, beginning in most
cases quite early. But if it is caused by reasons that
can be avoided or eliminated, which seems likely, then we
able to do much to prevent aging. At least the countless experiments in many lower forms
Experience has shown that one can not only delay the aging process
on an infinitely long time, but also to reverse it, to restore
youth. More than 15 years, Professor KM Cheyld University of Chicago
investigated the aging animals. His results
pointed out that periodic fasting is usually contributes
rejuvenation of the body. By studying certain types of insects, he found that the abundant
food insect life lasts 3-4 weeks, but if the number of
food is much reduced, or to compel insects to starve
they will stay active and young at least 3
year. Here is his conclusion: "Partial starvation prevents
aging. Starving is transferred from the coming of age in primary
postembryonic state, he was almost born again. " Cheyld pointed out that in the organic world is the rejuvenation
no more than the usual process of cell renewal. This
process is continuous throughout the life of any organism. Similar studies were conducted by the Institute
Physiology of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. with the help of a special regime
power they "rejuvenated" two-year rat to a state
characteristic of the age of three months. English biologist Clive
McKay has made lengthening life span of mice by 1,5 times with two
hungry days a week, and reduce food intake by a third
allowed to increase their life 2 times. 130
130In our country, some interesting experiments on rejuvenation of animals
spent a wonderful doctor Suren Arakelyan. According to him,
"Elderly" chicken past starvation, again began to bear
eggs, they have restored the pen cap and voice became
above and younger, and her body graceful, slender. Here is a picture that
Suren Arakelyan Avakovich saves since his experiment. in his hands two "older" sister-laying hens. One hungry, the other -
no. After photographing my sister-eater lived only one month,
and rejuvenation of the chicken - another six years. Was something to wonder: from
Thousands of retired-age birds, nine hundred and ten every day
delayed egg. But not simple. Egg weighed 68 grams, and
laid by pullets - only forty-eight. Biochemical analysis
confirmed: and the quality of the eggs better. Feared that the famine will
birds to death, but the contrary, they began to live much longer: the average
Eighteen years instead of six-tempered nature. Specific term
life was extended three times. A chicken named Belle lived up to
fantastic age - up to twenty-one years. For a man
the same proportion as the same age would be equal to two hundred and forty -
two hundred and fifty years. After the chickens Arakelian took up bull high-value species. The early years of their short - only four years. And then - on the meat. Bulls
went on a hunger diet, but the water took antistress
complex preparation. Stress - because the usual
hunger pushes the animal in a painful, restless state. Taking these substances, as the bulls would not notice the hunger. So
lasted twenty days. Bulls lose weight, losing 15-20% of live
mass, but these were temporary loss weight soon returned, and
with it specific reproductive opportunities. Total
- Life expectancy at monthly rest bulls once a year
with fasting increases by 3 times. Failure to keep a youth due to factors
nuisance ideal process run the update. Any
removal of these impeding factors at any age leads
to a shift - for renewal and youth. It should, however, acknowledge that there are clear limits
opportunities to rejuvenate the person. in the tissues of the human
organism may occur irreversible changes, and attempts
resolve their similar attempts to grow a new leg after
she was lost. Many lower forms of living beings, and
Some of them are very complex organisms
have the ability to grow new members or domestic
agencies (even new heads, brains and eyes), and their possible
rejuvenation is much wider than the more highly
organisms. But a person can be rejuvenated to a much greater
than we thought. Until now, we can assume a fair
assertion that the greater the number and degree of pathological
changes in the human body
