 1/2 to 4 cups of distilled water

1/2 tsp of almond extract (or vanilla extract)

For a spicy Indian version, add the following to the above ingredients:
1/4 tsp of cardamom

1/4 tsp of nutmeg

1/2 tsp of cinnamon

Place all ingredients into a blender and blend on a high speed for three
minutes. For a smoother consistency, strain through a large strainer layered
with a piece of cheesecloth.
Almond milk is a protein and should not be combined with starches. Use
rice milk if you wish to combine with a starch.
Banana Ice Cream
4 to 6 bananas

1 to 11/2 cups of apple juice

1 tsp. of vanilla

1/2 cup of raw almonds

To make any frozen treat you will need some frozen fruit and fresh fruit
juice. Organic fresh juice and fruit is always preferred. However, glass-
bottled organic juice may be substituted.
Peel 4 to 6 bananas and freeze overnight in a zip-lock baggie. Put about 1
to 11/2 cups of apple juice and 1 tsp of vanilla in a blender. Break off piecesof frozen banana and add to the apple juice as you blend them (a few pieces
at a time) until you get a creamy consistency. If you want a thicker blend
simply add more frozen banana, or, first add 1/2 cup of raw almonds to
blender and blend to small pieces or powder, then add your apple juice,
vanilla and frozen bananas.
Date/Coconut Rolls
2 cups of dates

1 cup of raisins

1/4 cup of coconut

1 cup of nuts—pecans or almonds (optional)

Remove pits from the dates. Put dates and raisins through a food grinder.
Chop nuts to medium size. Mix all ingredients together and then form into
balls. Roll in grated coconut or finely ground nuts. Keep in the refrigerator.
Frozen Bananas

CHAPTER EIGHT
The Power of Herbs
W
hen I started using herbs and herbal formulas over twenty-seven years ago,
my success in my clinic skyrocketed. I began to see much deeper cleansing
and healing—true regeneration and vitality—in tissues. Previously, with
supplements, I would see
some
 improvement, and maybe some symptoms
eliminated. However, these symptoms would return when the
supplementation was stopped.
Today, the use of herbs (botanicals) is vital to the restoration of the
human race. Their power to invoke the cleansing and regeneration process
can’t be equaled by manufactured supplements or chemical medications.
Where chemical medications suppress and hold toxins in the body, herbs pull
and clean these toxins out as well as strengthen the cells. Because herbs
haven’t been hybridized they haven’t lost their powerful nutritive and
electrical properties.
From a spiritual viewpoint, herbs carry the “original awareness” with
which they were created. When an herb’s “consciousness” or awareness
unites with the consciousness of a human cell, this empowers the cell to
function as
it
 was originally created. As DNA and cellular activity changes,
this yields greater vitality to cells, tissues, or glands. With their powerful
cleansing actions, herbs empower the body to clean itself out of all
obstructions, thereby enhancing blood, lymph, and neuro (energy) flow to
the cells.
The original power (consciousness), nutrition, and active ingredients that
herbs have can make the difference between life and death. We have come to
a point genetically in our cellular patterns where treatment is no longer
effective. The chemical toxicity levels in our air and from our foods is so
high that acidosis and deterioration is affecting everything—our buildings,
statues, water supplies, animals, and especially ourselves. In the last 100 years
humans have done what no other animal has ever done in billions of years:
we have destroyed the earth. If you wish to survive this, changing your
approach from treatment to detoxification is essential. If you
do not alkalize
and clean out the poisons that are killing your body, your chances of getting
healthy remain very low.This book is aimed at changing your viewpoint about treatment. It has
been my life’s work not to treat, but to detoxify and regenerate. This is
especially true in chronic and degenerative disorders, such as diabetes (type
I), cancer, arthritis, and MS. One cannot just treat these conditions. The
tissues (organs and glands) that are failing must be restored.
Herbs have been used for ages by humans and animals for the treatment
of disease as well as for nutrition. Herbs are non-hybrid vegetables. Their
nutritional, electrical, and medicinal content is much greater than most hybrid,
garden vegetables. The uniqueness and superiority of herbs lies in their
strong medicinal compounds, or what I call their restorative properties, which
include acids, alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, coumarins (clotting factors),
tannins, (astringent properties), antioxidants (immune), bitter principles and
much more. A list of many of these herbs and their effects upon tissues will
be found in
Module 8.2
,
Power Herbs.
The restorative principles in herbs can enhance, cleanse and provide
nutrition to cells and tissues, thus affecting cell and tissue response. Herbs
increase the blood and lymph flow within tissues, which increases nutrition to
cells and allows them to eliminate their wastes.
Herbs are “tissue-specific” in that each herb was designed by God to
affect a specific type of tissue or part of the body. The beauty of God’s herbs
is that they can and do


  to say an unkind  word,
about  another  one  of your  fellow  Beings!  One  day,  you
will have  to face  it. Now  in the Onrush  of the Great  Cosmic
Light  into  the  outer  world,  which  is coming  more  and
more  quickly,  you  won't  have  so much  time  to escape  it! 158 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
We have  been  compelled  to stand  by and  see happy  fam-
ilies,  happy  husbands  and  wives  separated  by vicious  gos-
sip, in which  there  was  not a Word  of Truth!  It is a tragedy
before  the face  of mankind!  That  thing  is done  constantly!
Over  the bridge  games,  in the social  gossip  of the world,
tragedy  is created  each  day!  Oh,  the pity,  the pity  of it!
Sometimes  people  think  they  can say a word,  a sentence
of falsehood;  and  they  know  it is false  when  they  say it.
Yet that  impulse  comes  on and  acts;  and  then  destruction
starts  and  it gathers.  Homes,  happiness  and  sometimes
whole  embodiments  are destroyed—by  a thoughtless,  cruel,
unkind  word.
We see!  We  have  to see!  all of such  unhappiness  acting
within  mankind!  Today  when  the opportunity  is so great
and Complete  Understanding  is before  you,  in how  to gov-
ern these  things—why  they  produce  certain  effects  and  lim-
itations  upon  mankind—won't  you  join  Us;  every  one  of
you,  in stopping  instantly  every  attempt  at gossip ? Oh,  it
is the most  frightful  thing  in the activity  of mankind!  We
know  of one  instance  now,  where  the greatest  injustice  is
being  done;  and  those  who  have  started  it, will  weep  in
sorrow  for the mistake.
I prompt  you,  We want  you  to be Free;  but  you  cannot
do it, Precious  Ones  of the Light,  as long  as you  allow  these
qualities  to act in your  feeling  world,  and  give  expression
to them.  There  is no provocation  for these  things!  It is only
because  the old destructive  momentum  generated  by man-
kind,  is acting  in the atmosphere  of Earth;  and  people,  who DISCOURSE  VIII  159
do not know  how  to protect  themselves,  take  it on. It is like
one impulse  after  another,  forming  a momentum!  The  mo-
ment  people  get too much  gin,  they  begin  to talk!  If they
get a little  excited,  they  begin  to talk!  If they  become  a little
angered,  they  begin  to talk!  That  is the human  impulse  of
the destructive  qualities  within  the human  Being.
It is why  under  the old order,  the students  who  went  to
the Retreat,  were  held  in Absolute  Silence  for from  three
to five  years!  They  never  were  allowed  to speak  a word!
That  taught  one  obedience!  You  today,  are being  taught
by the experience  of the outer  world.
The Light  is before  you!  Use  it, Dear  Ones,  and  have  the
Blessing  and  the  Freedom  which  It brings!  Remember,
you are the Chooser,  the Decreer  how  this  energy  is going
to act in your  world!  Don't  make  any  mistake  about  it.
If you  insist  on allowing  discord  to act within  your  feeling
world,  falsehood  and  gossip;  then  you  will  reap  those  qual-
ities and  it is a most  unhappy  reaping.
So today,  in My  Calling  your  attention  to the Achieve-
ment  which  has been  attained;  whose  Blessing  We  are so
happy  to have  given  to the Students  of the "I AM"  thruout
the World;  and  in the prepared  atmosphere  today,  I have
taken  the opportunity  to prompt  you  again;  not to do the
things  which  bring  destruction  into  your  world.
I thank  you  very  much! DISCOURSE  XIII
September  18, 1937
NEW  BEDFORD,  MASSACHUSETTS.
Beloved  Students  of America!  Great  is your  Privilege!
Imperative  is the need  of your  Call  to God,  your  "Mighty
I AM  Presence";  to release  Its Power  into  the activity  of
the physical  world,  to give  the Assistance  to mankind  which
is necessary  today.
The world,  as you  commonly  use  the term,  is "on  the
spot"—before  the Great  Cosmic  Light!  It will  not tolerate
longer  mankind's  tardiness,  let us call  it, in giving  forth
the assistance  which  is required  today.
If you  have  not known  it before,  you  shall  tonight!  There
is no destructive  force  in the Earth  or anywhere  else  which
is not caused  by human  Beings!  The  only  place  where  de-
structive  force  exists  is upon  your  Earth  and  in its atmo-
sphere;  which  is known  as the psychic  or astral  world.
Make  no mistake  about  it; in the psychic  or astral  world,
which  is but discordant  human  creation,  there  is no good
thing;  and  there  are no gradations  of that  octave  of vibra-
tory action!
Everything  of a destructive  nature  which  is generated
by mankind,  is held  within  that  octave  from  the surface
of the Earth  up to approximately  seven  thousand  feet.  It is
known  as the astral  or psychic  world;  in which  humanity
160 DISCOURSE  VIII  161
is compelled  to move  all the time  unless—observe  the Chart
—unless  mankind  will  understand  the "I AM  Presence,"
the Individualized  Presence  of God;  and  call It into  action
to form  about  the outerself  the Tube  of Light,  which  can
be made  Invincible  to all surrounding  discord.  As In-
dividuals  call  the Presence  to do this,  they  will  find  them-
selves  enveloped  in a Tube  of Invincible  Protection;  in
which  they  can  move  among  mankind,  untouched  by dis-
cord.
Students  everywhere  thruout  America,  who  have  been
earnest  and  sincere  and  called  the Presence  into  action  to
produce  the  Tube  of Light,  have  had  Its Results!  Mrs.
Ballard  and  This  Good  Messenger  have  been  compelled  to
call That  into  action  in order  to survive;  and  they  have  gone
forth  expanding  the  Activity  of the Light,  untouched  by
the discord  of the outer  world.
So you  too,  Beloved  Ones,  if you  will  call the Presence  to
formulate  This  Tube  of Light  about  you,  can do the same
thing.  It is a part  of yourself!  Observe  the Chart!  Again,
That  Stream  of Light  and  Energy  is you!  When  you  call
the Presence  into  action,  to formulate  This  Tube  of Light
about  you,  the Higher  Mental  Body  takes  the  Radiance
from  your  Call  up to the Presence,  which  forms  the Tube
of Light  and  establishes  It about  you  as definitely  as a wall
of steel.
Remember,  That  Light  which  comes  from  your  Presence
is Self-Luminous,  Intelligent  Substance;  from  which  every-
thing  in human  form  came  forth  or ever  will  come.  Your 162 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES

How Did the Salt Habit Originate?
 Gustav von Bunge, a biochemist, explains that in
prehistoric times there was a balance of organic sodiumand potassium minerals in the earth. But continuedrainfall over centuries washed away the more solubleorganic sodium salts. In time, many land-grown foodsand soils became deficient in sodium, but high inpotassium. The result was that animals and humansdeveloped a craving for something to replace thismineral deficiency. They found an ineffective and highly
dangerous substitute in salt (inorganic sodium chloride).16
Watermelon and its seeds (chew or grind them) contain cucurbocitrin
that helps reduce swelling (edema) due to excess retained water from
salt and the huge variety of salty processed foods Am ericans eat.Salt Causes Edema, Kidney Problems, etc.
Swallowing salt to obtain natural organic sodium is
like taking inorganic calcium to get calcium. Both are
chemicals and neither can be assimilated. All inorganic
chemicals cause all the body harm, digestive organs, etc.
That’s why the body sends out sudden SOS thirst signals,
calls for water, after salt is eaten! The stomach is reacting
to salt and demands water to quickly flush the salt outthrough the kidneys (page
55). Imagine what effect this
has on the delicate kidney filters. Millions suffer from
serious kidney problems! Of all body organs, kidneys are
most affected by salt. What happens when more salt is
eaten than kidneys can eliminate? The kidneys break
down, the excess salt is deposited in various body parts,especially lower extremities. To protect its tissues against
salt, the body automatically seeks to dilute it by pooling
water in needed areas to help flush out salt. As tissuesbecome waterlogged, swelling occurs in feet, ankles and
legs causing edem a and dr opsy. Salt
(sodium chloride ) also
causes puffy eyelids and water bags below lower eyelids.
Salt Affects Millions With High Blood Pressure
Salt is harmful to the kidneys and heart. 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
and high bl ood pressure problem s. What cau ses this?
Medical Science recognizes many causes: salt, diet, stressand toxic substances as smoking, insecticides, drugs, food
additives and pollutants. To protect yourself from these
caustic agents, exclude all harmful agents possible fromyour environment. The major cause of high blood
pressure you can remedy: don’t eat salt, instead use kelp,
herbs, garlic and Bragg Aminos Seasoning.17
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
before them, but check very carefully the oil put in their car.Are you in Health Bankruptcy? If so, you need a Health Overhaul!Up to now, we have been talking about causing high
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


Instead of “I am” she felt, “Do I deserve to be here?”
Instead of “I am blissful” she felt, “I can’ t feel.”
Instead of “I will” she felt, “I can’ t.”
Instead of “I know” she felt, “I doubt.”
Instead of “I act” she felt, “I don’ t know what to do.”
Where did her Shakti go? The roots of powerlessness run deep. Some
people feel that they were stripped of power by their parents, by destiny, by
God. In actual fact we all disem power ourselves. It is impossible to exist
without desires,  which Shakti uses to guide us from one fulfillment to
another. If desire is denied, however, Shakti is rendered useless. It takes an
active ef fort to make desire seem to go away.
Passion doesn’ t fade. It must be suppr essed.
Boredom is just the passive face of this effort to keep desire out of sight,
the indifferent mask put on to hide a huge internal struggle. The belief that
you won’ t ever get what you want implies enormous hatred and judgment
against yourself. Keeping these feelings in control takes work, for even if
you sincerely believe that you do not deserve to have desires, the vitality of
life isn’ t going to be completely halted.
People who have cut themselves off from passion have switched their
allegiance to something else almost as strong. Because the flow of life
won’ t be stopped, a counterfo rce must be called in to oppose it—the
counterforce of fear. Fear of life is extremely common whenever someone
complains of ennui.
Fear at any level of the psyche makes it much more difficult to trust that
passion is safe. If my wife criticizes me, a warning voice that I hardly
notice will sap my desire for her. If my husband dislikes the way I keep
house, I will feel inhibition about fully expressing my sexual needs. Thus
existential issues are activated by everyday obstacles.
In relati onships where two people have allowed the under ground war
between fear and desire to go on too long, suppressing passion becomes anactual life goal. In fear’s warpe d value system, getting “too close” seems
like a problem instead of the solution. As nature created us it is normal to
seek pleasure; a fearful person avoids pain instead.
“Whether you can admit it to yourself or not,” I told Amy, “being bored
is your goal in life. Boredom isn’t happening to you; you are using it in the
pursuit of safety and security. Why don’t you tell Fred off or throw a vase at
him or break down and cry?” Amy looked stunned.
“I just wouldn’ t,” she muttered, her face strained by unwept tears.
I said more gently, “Bringing light to this dark dilemma is going to make
things better. Right now your stance toward the river of life is to stand on
the banks and try not to fall in. But can you survive without falling in?
“The spiritual answer to boredom is to open yourself to the very thing
you have feared —the constant flow of desire that wants to express itself at
every moment.”
We are enticed back into passion when we admit to having desir es.
The reason that falling in love is so passionate is simple: desire is no
longer a choice. Romance bursts the dam of inhibition. Its erotic power
proves too much for fear and repression to hold back. At the deepest level
people never fall in love accidentally. They simply grow tired of living
without passion, and having made this unconscious decision they open up
once more and allow themselves to receive love.
Without waiting  to fall in love, you can rekindle passion by imitating this
process. When the passion is gone from a relationship, both partners must
be honest in stating that they have desires. This of course can be difficult,
for if either partner is operating  under the belief “I’m bored with you,” it
will be doubly difficult to say, “I desire you.” The critical step is to
eliminate your partner entirely  as the cause of the problem and take
responsibility for your own feelings.
The essential issue is not “I am bored with you” but “I am bored.” By
taking blame out of the equation, you also remove threat. This is extremely
important, becau se you cannot help but fear anyone whom you are mentally
attacking.
“Your whole effort needs to be directed toward finding out what you
really want and then feeling you deserve to fulfill those desires,” I toldAmy. “The gap between yourself and your desires is like a buffer that
deadens feeling. Feeling your way out of boredom is the only solution.
“If you are hone st in your search  for your own feelings, you will hit upon
love, even if it is only the tiniest spark of attraction and desire. Some hint of
desire must be present no matte r how numbed a person may be. Instead of
deciding that these faint impulse s are too insignificant to act upon, take the
opposite tack. Put your newfound feelings at the feet of your beloved—
express kindnes s in the smallest  of ways, praise even the humblest quality,
smile outwardly when an inner smile flickers. In this way you encourage a
fragile new emotion to believe  that it is legitimate, that it has a right to
exist.”
For the first time in our talk, Amy looked encouraged. “Fred doesn’ t
really know that I still love him,” she said, sounding very vulnerable.
“And asking him to read your mind isn’t going to work,” I said. “The
web of tenderness that once connected you has been torn, but it can be
rewoven, I promise.”
From this starting point—“I love you”—the channels of passion
gradually open up. The relationship that seems to frustrate and kill desire
turns into the healer of desire.
“I have a specia l name for the kind of healing I’m asking you to try,” I
said. “It’s called ‘wooing the goddess.’ What you ultimately want isn’t Fred
or a better sex life. You want the return of spirit within you, which is the
return of God. The passionate side of God is Shakti, the goddess. Passion
was the wedding  gift she brough t when she married Shiva. It is also the gift
women bring to men today, for the female principle is desirable by nature. It
excites consciousness with arousal and yearning. It melts opposites into
union and makes chaos into a dance. It was your birthright  to be that
passion.”
“You make it sound like I could  be,” Amy said, actually laughing for the
first time.
“If you don’t feel at one with the goddess,” I said, “woo her back. Win
her before you try to win anyo ne else. Go into the fear and hurt; practice
letting go of your old beliefs; learn to forgive yourself; find moments when
you can be kind to your inner being; claim what is good about yourself and
not just what is bad; follow every enthusiasm wherever it leads you, since
the source of enthusiasm is always passion.“Spirit is waiting for you to rejoin her. She stands outside the boundaries
you have impos ed on yourself. There is no passion too great for her to
contain; you will never be lost reaching for the infinite. She is the tenderest
of infini ties, whose only desire is to protect you and carry you in her arms
from fear to love.”

ECSTASY
WHA T WE HAVE discussed so far is how to ground a relationship in love
through surrend er, nonattachment, and the renewal of passion. When two
people have found such a basis  of lasting love, they are ready for the next
stage on the path, which we can call ascension. Ascension is based on
love’ s ability to expand beyond the world of limitations to the world of
boundlessness. Before ascension “I” refers to a single individua l isolated in
time and space. After ascension  “I” refers to a self that observ es time and
space without feeling trapped by them—you have slipped through a sliver
of time to find the timeless. Before ascension “you” meant someone who
could be loved but never merged with. After ascension “you” means a part
of oneself who is as close as breath. Before ascension “we” meant a couple
who met in mutual need. After ascension “we” has no meaning, since union
is complete.
Ascending is a process, like falling in love or being in relation ship. You
are not carried away into the “other world.” This world becomes
transformed into a heaven of fulfillment, ever at peace, ever in love. The
process of ascension doesn’ t call upon anything new from inside you other
than letting go and letting go until there is nothing more to let go of;
ascension is the final stage in relinquishing attachment to separation.
Someone who is ascended has achieved Christ’ s injunction to be in this
world but not of it.
As you ascend, your love will turn to ecstasy.
To feel ecstasy is the privilege of all who have walked the path to this
point, where ascension begins. If you have not yet come this far, ecstasy isnot within your normal range of feeling. You may know joy, delight,
exuberance, satisfaction, and happiness, but these are shadows of the
ecstatic state. It exists as


 living. Give your attention to living life.
18. Become a producer and not a prisoner of society. Don’t hide
your light under a bushel.
 222  19. The secret of youth is love, joy, inner peace, and laughter. In
Him there is fullness of joy. In Him there is no darkness at all.
20. You are needed. Some of the great philosophers, artists,
scientists, writers, and others accomplished their greatest work after
they were 80 years old.
21. The fruits of old age are love, joy, peace, patience, gentle -ness,
goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance.
22. You are a son of Infinite Life, which knows no end. You are a
child of Eternity. You are wonderful!

Maimonides as Physician and Medical Author

Maimonides (Moses ben Maimon) was one of the most
colorful personalities of the twelfth century. He was an
outstanding physician with a very extensive practice,
holding, at the same time, important medical
appointments in the royal court of Egypt. He was equally
eminent as a commentator (Pirush Hamishnah), codifier
(Yad), and philosopher (Guide of the Perplexed).
He was born in Cordova, Spain, in 1135, when it had a
population of half a million and was at its height as a
cultural and medical center. B ecause of the persecution of
the fanatical Almohades, he had to leave his birthplace
when thirteen, trying first to  find shelter in southern
Spain, and from the age of twen ty-three to thirty in Fez,
Morocco. While there, he studied medicine with such
famous physicians as Ibn Zuhr (son of  famous Ibn Zuhr-
Avenzoar) and Abu Yusuf. Maimonides then, at the age
of thirty, left for Egypt wher e he lived in great fame, and
fatiguing medical and literary activities, for the remaining
thirty-nine years of his life. He refused an offer made by
the English king Richard th e Lion-Hearted, in 1193, to
accompany him as a court physician to England. He composed ten medical works, all written in Arabic. He
died in Cairo, December 13, 1204 at the age of sixty-nine,
thus culminating a resplendent career.
His Arabic medical works, of which The Preservation
of Youth is the first to be rendered from Arabic into
English, are:
1.  The Preservation of Youth
2.  The Extracts (Gleanings from Galen)
3.  Commentary on the Aphorisms of Hippocrates
4.  Medical Aphorisms
5.  On Hemorrhoids
6.  On Sexual Intercourse
7.  Discourse on Asthma
8.  On Poisons and the Protection Against Deadly
          Remedies
9.  Discourse on the Explanation of Fits
10. Glossary of Drug Names

The works of Maimonides are based on authoritative
Greek and Arabic sources, used with critical
discrimination, and on his vast personal experience. They
excel with their brevity, precision, clarity and rational
approach. He used the language of the accepted ancient
and medieval "hormone" pathology in vogue until a
century ago and now making a partial and modified return in medicine. The pract ical application of those
theories was sound. He gave preference to personal
observation over traditions of  the past. He considered
theoretical knowledge inseparable from practice, the
ultimate aim being the fight against disease and the
prolongation of life.
His theology was not in conflict with medicine, but, on
the contrary, supported it and le nt it prestige. He ridiculed
the belief in the occult, demonology, exorcism, amulets
and spells, as he did home remedies whose efficacy was
not supported by experiment and practice. He considered
that medical science held the key to morality  and
godliness,  natural  processe s  being synonymous with the
divine. He demanded the highest standard of ethics from
the physician and took no remuneration from the
indigent.
Many physicians before Maimonides referred to
emotional states of the patient, but Maimonides made the
interaction of mind and body the cornerstone of his
diagnosis and therapy, in true psychosomatic tradition.
He dwelt at large on the impor tance of the measures to
prevent disease, on the role of proper diet and on the
contribution of constitutional disposition.
The physician should always strive to strengthen the
patient's own forces, utilizing also the forces of nature. He cautioned against over-medication, especially on a hit-
or-miss basis. When in doubt, he advised: leave it to
nature. What affects us is not medication alone, but
medication plus the forces of nature.
He demanded of the physician detailed examination
and close observation. One cannot learn medicine from
books alone nor from experi ence alone. Practice is
inseparable from knowledge and speculation. Every
patient is a case by himsel f and demands an individual
approach and care.
The medical views of Maimonides as expressed in his
medical writings, and also in  his philosophical and legal
works, do not belong to the curiosa of the medieval
healing art, but are an organi c part of what was best and
enduring in the medical traditions of the past.

Introduction

The Preservation of Youth was composed in Arabic by
Maimonides in 1198, six years before his demise. It was
written in Egypt for the Sultan Al Afdal, son of Saladin,
at his request. Like all the other medical works of
Maimonides, it has never been translated into English
until now. It was rendered into Hebrew by Moses Ibn
Tibon in 1244, and republishe d recently with copious
notes by Dr. Süssmann Muntner, Jerusalem, 1957. The
Latin translation made by John di Capua, a converted
Jew, in 1290, and used extensively in the medical schools
of Europe, was based on the Hebrew translation.
Six authorities are quoted in this work. Three of them
are Greek: Hippocrates, "The Prince of Physicians" (460-
357 B.C.); Aristotle (384-322 B.C); Galen (130-200); and
three of them are Moslem  ( but not Arab):  Rhazes
(Razi)
(850-923) from Persia; Farabi  (870-950) from Turkey;
and Ibn Zuhr (1113-1162) fr om Spain. Maimonides often
introduces his own opinion as by "the author" or "the
servant." The Sultan complained of poor digestion, chronic
constipation and depressive moods. In his reply,
Maimonides discusses the dangers of overeating, the three digestions and diets adju sted to the state of health,
season and age. He schedul es physical exercises and
evaluates various foods: cer eals, meats, milk, wine,
vegetables and fruits. He prescribes a regimen for the healthy, the sick and the conva lescent, exto ls the power
of nature and describes the types of physicians in his day. He further discusses mild and drastic remedies, compound and simple drugs, purgatives and emetics. He suggests music as a therapeutic measure and gives directions for various pharmaceutical preparations, such as digestives, sedatives a nd aphrodisiacs. In a special
chapter he discusses the interrelationship between mind and body, also hypersensitivity, philosophy and theoretical morality, the even keel, imaginary good and evil, and the desirability of emotional stability and
optimism. In the last chapter he comments on airs and waters, and on the ideas of Al  Farabi and Al Razi about
patients and diseases. He cautions the reader on the pitfalls of erroneous approach es to medical science. The
last topics of his work are concerned with sexual
intercourse, the bath, discha rges from the nose, food deterioration and the advisability of avoiding sudden
changes in the art of living.

[ED. NOTE


 These are usually malignant cases.

    To look upon any of these symptom -complexes as a
distinct disease, requiring a distinct treatment, is to fall into
the diagnostic maze that now bewilders the profession and
renders treatment chao tic.

   It should be known to all discerning physicians that the
earliest stage of organic disease is purely functional,
evanescent, and never autogenerted so far as the affected
organ is concerned, but is invariably due to an extraneous
irritation (stim ulation, if you please), augmented by
Toxemia. When the irritation is not continuous, and toxin is
eliminated as fast as developed, to the toleration point,
normal functioning is resumed between the intervals of
irritation and toxin excess.

   For exampl e: a simple coryza (running at the nose —cold
in the head), gastritis or colonitis. At first these colds,
catarrahs, or inflammations are periodic and functional;
but, as the exciting cause or causes —local irritation and
Toxemia —become more intense and cont inuous, the
mucous membranes of these organs take on organic
changes, which are given various names, such as irritation,
inflammation, ulceration, and cancer. The pathology
(organic change) may be studied until doomsday without
throwing any light on the ca use; for from the first irritation
to the extreme ending —cachexia —which may be given the blanket term of tuberculosis, syphilis, or cancer, the whole
pathologic panorama is one continuous evolution of
intensifying effects.

   Germs and other so -called ca uses may be discovered in
the course of pathological development, but they are
accidental, coincidental, or at most auxiliary —or, to use the
vernacular of law, obiter dicta.

   The proper way to study disease is to study health and
every influence favora ble or not to its continuance. Disease
is perverted health. Any influence that lowers nerve -energy
becomes disease -producing. Disease cannot be its own
cause; neither can it be its own cure, and certainly not its
own prevention.

   After years of wanderi ng in the jungle of medical
diagnosis —the usual guesswork of cause and effect, and
the worse -than-guesswork of treatment, and becoming
more confounded all the time —I resolved either to quit the
profession or to find the cause of disease. To do this, it was
necessary to exile myself from doctors and medical
conventions; for I could not think for myself while listening
to the babblings of babeldom. I took the advice found in
Matt. 6:6. According to prevailing opinion, unless a doctor
spends much time in medic al societies and in the society of other doctors, takes postgraduate work, travels, etc., he
cannot keep abreast of advancement.

   This opinion would be true if the sciences of medicine
were fitted to a truthful etiology (efficient cause) of disease.
But, since they are founded on no cause, or at most
speculative and spectacular causes, as unstable as the sands
of the sea, the doctor who cannot brook the bewilderment
of vacillation is compelled to hide away from the voices of
mistaken pedants and knowing  blatherskites until
stabilized. By that time ostracism will have overtaken him,
and his fate, metaphorically speaking, will be that of the
son of Zacharias.

   An honest search after truth too often, if not always, leads
to the rack, stake, cross, or th e blessed privilege of
recanting; but the victim, by this time, decides as did the
divine Jew: “Not my will, but shine, be done;” or, as
Patrick Henry declared: “Give me liberty or give me
death!” The dying words of another great Irishman is the
wish, no d oubt, of every lover of freedom and truth:
   That no man write my epitaph; for, as no man
who knows my motives dares now vindicate them.
let not prejudice or ignorance asperse them. Let
them and me rest in peace, and my tomb remain uninscribed, and my mem ory in oblivion, until
other times and other men can do justice to my
character. When my country takes her place among
the nations of the earth, then, and not until then, let
my epitaph be written. (Emmet).

   The truth is larger than any man, and, until it is
established, the memory of its advocate is not important. In
the last analysis, is not the truth the only immortality? Man
is an incident. If he discovers a truth, it benefits all who
accept it. Truth too often must pray to be delivered from its
friends.

   I must acknowledge that I have not been very courteous
to indifferent convention; and the truth I have discovered
has suffered thereby. It has always appeared to me that the
attention of fallacy -mongers cannot be attracted except by
the use of a club or shillalah; and possibly my style of
presenting my facts has caused too great a shock, and the
desired effect has been lost in the reaction.

   That I have discovered the true cause of disease cannot be
successfully disputed. This being true, my e arnestness in
presenting this great truth is justifiable.

    When I think back over my life, and remember the
struggle I had with myself in supplanting my old beliefs
with the new —the thousands of times I have suspected my
own sanity —I then cannot be su rprised at the opposition I
have met and am meeting.

   My discovery of the truth that Toxemia is the cause of all
so-called diseases came about slowly, step by step, with
many dangerous skids.

   At first I believed that enervation must be the general
cause of disease; then I decided that simple enervation is
not disease, that disease must be due to poison, and that
poison, to be the general cause of disease, must be
autogenerated; and if disease is due to an autogenerated
poison. what is the cause of that autogeneration? I dallied
long in endeavoring to trace disease back to poison taken
into the system, such as food eaten after putrescence had
begun, or from poisoning due to the development of
putrescence after ingestion. In time I decided that poison ing
per se is not disease. I observed where poisoning did not
kill; some cases reacted and were soon in full health, while
others remained in a state of semi -invalidism. I found the
same thing true of injuries and mental shock. It took a long
time to devel op the thought that a poisoned or injured body,
when not overwhelmed by Toxemia. would speedily return to the normal, and when it did not, there was a sick habit —
a derangement of some kind —that required some such
contingency to bring it within sense -percep tion.

   To illustrate: An injury to a joint is often complicated
with rheumatism; the rheumatism previous to the injury
was potentially in the blood.

   Just what change had taken place in the organism which,
under stress of injury or shock of any kin d, would cause a
reaction with fever I could not understand until the
Toxemic Theory suggested itself to my mind, after which
the cause of disease unfolded before me in an easy and
natural manner. And now the theory is a proved fact.

   After years of pe rplexing thought and “watchful waiting,”
I learned that all disease, of whatever nature, was of slow
development; that without systemic preparation even so -
called acute systemic diseases could not manifest.

   In a few words: Without Toxemia there can be  no
disease. I knew that the waste -product of metabolism was
toxic, and that the only reason why we were not poisoned
by it was because it was removed from the organism as fast
as produced. Then I decided that the toxin was retained in
the blood, when ther e was a checking of elimination. Then the cause of the checking had to be determined. In time I
thought out the cause. I knew that, when we had a normal
nerve -energy, organic functioning was normal. Then came
the thought that enervation caused a checking o f
elimination. Eureka! The cause of all so -called diseases is
found! Enervation checks elimination of the waste -products
of metabolism. Retention of metabolic toxin —the first and
only cause of disease!

   Those who would be freed from the bondage of medi cal
superstition should study “Toxemia Explained.”

 Toxemia Explained

   NO ONE on the outside of the medical profession knows
so well as doctors themselves the great need of more
knowledge of what disease really is. Never in the history of
so-called medical science has there been so much research
work done as in the past decade; but with every new
discovery there follows very closely on its heels the stark
and stalking nemesis that chills the honest and earnest
researchers to the bone —the inevitable w ord Failure.  Why
inevitable? Because, back in the beginning


other ailments by the use of urine.”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn  SINUS  We shall now report a successful case of sinus, which was related to Raojibhai by the patient himself. The patient, Shri K.B. Patel is a spiritual person. His age at the time of narrating his experience was 58 years. Six years earlier he had some inflammation in his nose. A foul smelling thick watery discharge used to come out of the nose. Some times it was mixed with blood also. Nose used to pain. He got it punched in V.S. Hospital three-four times but the trouble didn't go away. He again got it punched by nose specialist Dr. Balage but the condition persisted. For eight months he suffered unintermittently. One of his well-wisher Shri Jitendra Ray one day gave him the book 'Manav-Mutra'. After reading it, he started inhaling first urine of the morning daily throughout both of his nostrils and continued the practice for seven months. As a result he got rid of his sinus trouble and remained free from it thereafter.  'Mutra-Neti' i.e. sucking urine through nostrils is an excellent practice for bleeding from the nose. In addition it improves the eye-sight also. A patient with the irritation and bleeding of the nose used to take allopathic medicine. In between sometimes he 168 practiced Mutra-Neti for a day or two and his trouble subsided. He did not continue the practice and after two months bleeding recurred again. He inhaled urine from his nose again for two-three days and when bleeding subsided he left it. This was repeated thrice in the short duration of six months. However, even this much irregular application of urine therapy cured him of his trouble and he is now free from it.  "Miracles of Urine Therapy" by Morarji Desai  SINUSITIS  Maria Isabel Covarrubias L { Mexico } "I had sinusitis because I filled with pus during three years of the bone being infected. For a month, I have drank my Urine and I put drops in the nose. No longer does my body have fever. In addition, it served to improve my nervous system and to cure of colitis and gastritis."  World-wide Case Histories of Urine Therapy by Gary Ward  SKIN CANCER  “Two years ago, a small sore appeared on my right inside lower arm. It was very small and, at the time, appeared quite significant. However, within three or four weeks the sore started itching, accompanied by a burning sensation. Within the following six months it had noticeably enlarged. I later self diagnosed it as possible cancer and kept an eye on it. It continued to enlarge and I consequently visited my doctor. He confirmed it was cancer and advised that it would require surgical removal as soon as possible. From my recent studies of cancer cases on alternative medicine regarding cancer cures, I was most reluctant about surgery in view of the fact that, in many cases, surgery has only served to aggravate the area in question on the body where it has been performed, thus weakening the region for further later invasion to take place.  However, my health did decline somewhat as time passed on, and, by Christmas 1995, this cancer sore was now accompanied by yet another one in close proximity which grew at an alarming rate and became in a short time linked with the original outbreak. Margaret nagged me incessantly to get the surgery done, and by the New Year my resolve was weakening along with my health.  It was following the release of your February-March 1996 issue in which you featured the “Urine Therapy” article by Martha Christy, which I read several times, that I decided to give this therapy a go myself, albeit in a slightly modified approach. If this brave woman could annihilate all her health dramas in this way, why should I not try it?  Immediately I devised a way whereby, I could apply the urine in an ongoing way so that the core of the cancer was saturated continuously with fresh urine. (Margaret 169 threatened to divorce me!) I first of all opened my diary to Saturday 27th January ‘96 and entered “First treatment started”. All treatments and noticeable results were entered from then on. On Wednesday 28th Febraury ‘96 entry reads, “Growths completely healed.” Saturday 9th March reads, “Area of growth now difficult to discern.” 16th March reads, “Now there is no trace of where growth originally existed, i.e. no scar.” The actual healing time was 32 days.  Margaret and I went down to the doctor’s and showed him the arm. He and his nurses could not find any trace of cancer and kept rubbing the hairs of my arm away to try to find it. One of the nurses at the clinic has become an avid reader of and subscriber to NEXUS magazine and, at the time, although the doctor demanded to know what self treatment I had taken, neither Margaret nor I would divulge that the application of urine did the track, but the nurse in question (NEXUS reader) stood at the back quietly smiling to herself. Later she said when no one was about, “”You tried that urine therapy, I’ll bet! You old devil; trust you!” The nurse agreed to bring her issue of NEXUS into the inner sanctum of the clinic and leave it in conspicuous places in the hope the one of the doctors might just pick it up, read it and come to some sort of conclusion on their own. We are still waiting for some feedback news from “our nurse on the inside”.  Margaret and I still keep on monitoring the entire arm, but it seems remarkable that just one outbreak of cancer on just one area of the surface of the body can actually drain one’s strength and affect one’s general health the way it did with myself. I have, since the treatment, experienced a remarkable improvement in strength, health, and general well-being and, yes, quite a wonderful success story.  Duncan, I feel personally indebted to this brave woman, and you have my permission to give her a copy of this personal authentic experience.  Kind regard to all at NEXUS, Robert Adams, Whakatane, New Zealand.”  Urine: The Holy Water by Harald W. Tietze  SKIN DISEASE  “R.N. Patel, Nairobi, Africa, had a small eruption on his leg-joint and it slowly turned into skin-disease on the whole body. There was an itching sensation all over the body, and there was oozing of a watery substance at some places. Doctors could not cure the disease, even though he spent hundreds of dollars. He underwent Urine Therapy and was completely cured, even though he did not observe all the rules of treatment. Thereafter, he became a propagator of Urine Therapy and cured his wife's diabetes and his friend's burning sensation at the time of urination by Urine Therapy. His brother's disease, heart-disease and sinus problem were completely cured by this treatment.”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn 170  SKIN DRYNESS  “She has very dry skin to the extent that she gets deep cracks. They are very painful and do not heal easily. External use of urine therapy every two hours relieved the pain almost instantly and the cracks healed within twelve hours.”  Drink Your Own Water by Tony Scazzero  SKIN INFECTION  “Kalyanjibhai Mehta, the first Speaker of Gujarat State Assembly, had a skin infection. He had an itching sensation on the leg, and then there was burning, and blood began to ooze. He tried various medicines for a month, but to no avail, and was much harassed by the disease. He applied urine-soaked pads on the spot for three nights and was completely cured.”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn  SKIN LESIONS  Mr. T. California "Seven years ago, I was diagnosed with a lymphatic disorder. The doctors first thought it was Hodgkin's disease. During a vacation in Brazil I contracted some parasites. One was Shigella and the other was Giardia. I was treated with penicillin and many other antibiotics. But I still lost weight and the diarrhea was persistent. Then the new testing for AIDS came out, and I tested positive. I had constant problems with thrush. I also suffered from Kaposi's sarcoma intermittently over portions of my body. My energy level was very low.  To make long story short, I started Urine Therapy. The first treatment with urine was on my skin. The second day I noticed that the KS lesions were starting to fade. Then I stared to drink my own urine. I took about one ounce a day in the beginning. My thrush went away. Every time when I apply urine to any aberration or sore on my skin, it all but disappears. The KS lesion I was talking about is not even one-fourth the original size. Also, my energy level is much higher. I had colitis. I no longer have an inflamed colon. I am steady as a clock and do not suffer anymore from chronic diarrhea. So evidently this is working for me."  World-wide Case Histories of Urine Therapy by Gary Ward  171 SKIN MARKINGS  “I have been washing my face with urine and I have taken all the black marks off my face. As I am very fair, I used chemical cream all my life until the last six years or so, when I woke up to the rot. Congratulations on your books for making them small and good.”  Urine: The Holy Water by Harald W. Tietze  SKIN SORE  “Last year a Jain Mulli told me that Shri Satyendra Muniji propagates the


digestion of fatty foods. Manufacturing bile and pancreatic enzymes is also a lot of effort. Only after the carbohydrates (st arches
and sugars), proteins and fats have been broken down into simpler wate r soluble food units such as simple sugars, amino acids and
fatty acids, can the body pass these nutrients into the blood thorough the little projections in the small intestines called villi.
    The leftovers, elements of the food that can"t be solubiliz ed plus some remaining liquids, are passed into the large intestine.
There, water and the vital mineral salts dissolved in that water, are extracted and absorbed into the blood stream through th in
permeable membranes. Mucous is also secreted in the large i ntestine to facilitate passage of the dryish remains. This is an effort.
(Intestinal mucous can become a route of secondary elimination, especially during fasting. While fasting, it is essential to take
steps to expel toxic mucous in the colon before the p oisons are re adsorbed.) The final residue, now called fecal matter, is squeezed
along the length of the large intestines and passes out the rectum.
    If all the digestive processes have been efficient there now are an abundance of soluble nutrients for the blood stream to
distribute to hungry cells throughout the body. It is important to understand the process at least on the level of oversimpli fication
just presented in order to begin to understand better how health is lost or regained through eating, d igestion, and elimination. And
most importantly, through not eating.

How Fasting Heals
    Its an old hygienic maxim that the doctor does not heal, the medicines do not heal, only the body heals itself. If the body c an"t
heal then nothing can heal it. The  body always knows best what it needs and what to do.
    But healing means repairing damaged organs and tissues and this takes energy, while a sick body is already enervated,
weakened and not coping with its current stressors. If the sick person could but somehow increase the body"s energy resources
sufficie ntly, then a slowly healing body could heal faster while a worsening one, or one that was failing or one that was not getting
better might heal.
    Fasting does just that. To whatever degree food intake is reduced the body"s digestive workload is proport ionately reduced and
it will naturally, and far more intelligently than any physician could order, redirect energy to wherever it decides that ene rgy is
most needed. A fasting body begins accessing nutritional reserves (vitamins and minerals) previously st ored in the tissues and
starts converting body fat into sugar for energy fuel. During a time of water fasting, sustaining the body"s entire energy an d
nutritional needs from reserves and fat does require a small effort, but far less effort than eating. I w ould guess a fasting body used
about five percent of its normal daily energy budget on nutritional concerns rather than the 33 percent it needs to process n ew
food. Thus, water fasting puts something like 28 percent more energy at the body"s disposal. This  is true even though the water
faster may feel weak, energyless.
    I would worry if sick or toxic fasters did not complain about their weakness. They should expect to feel energyless. In fact,  the
more internal healing and detoxification the body require s, the tireder the faster feels because the body is very hard at work
internally. A great deal of the body"s energy will go toward boosting the immune system if the problem is an infection. Liber ated
energy can also be used for healing damaged parts, rebui lding failing organs, for breaking down and eliminating deposits of toxic
materials. Only after most of the healing has occurred does a faster begin to feel energetic again. Don"t expect to feel anyt hing but
tired and weak.
    The only exception to this w ould be a person who has already significantly detoxified and healed their body by previous fasting,
or the rare soul that has gone from birth through adulthood enjoying extraordinarily good nutrition and without experiencing the
stressors of improper dige stion. When one experienced faster I know finds himself getting "run down" or catching a cold, he quits
eating until he feels really well. Instead of feeling weak as most fasters do, as each of the first four or five days of wate r fasting
pass, he experien ces a resurgence of more and more energy. On the first fasting day he would usually feel rotten, which was why
he started fasting in the first place. On the second fasting day he"d feel more alert and catch up on his paper work. By his third day
on only wa ter he would be out doing hard physical chores like cutting the grass, splitting wood or weeding his vegetable garden.
Day four would also be an energetic one, but if the fast extended beyond that, lowering blood sugar would begin to make him t ired
and he" d feel forced to begin laying down.
    After a day of water fasting the average person"s blood sugar level naturally drops; making a faster feel somewhat tired and
"spacey," so a typical faster usually begins to spend much more time resting, further reduc ing the amount of energy being
expended on moving the body around, serendipitously redirecting even more of the body"s energy budget toward healing. By the
end of five or six days on water, I estimate that from 40 to 50 percent of the body"s available ener gy is being used for healing,
repair and detoxification.
    The amount of work that a fasting body’s own healing energy can do and what it feels like to be there when it is happening is
incredible. But you can’t know it if you haven’t felt it. So hardly a nyone in our present culture knows.
    As I mentioned in the first chapter, at Great Oaks School I apprenticed myself to the traveling masters of virtually every sy stem
of natural healing that existed during the ‘70s. I observed every one of them at work and tried most of them on my clients. After all
that I can say with experience that I am not aware of any other healing tool that can be so effective as the fast.

Essentials of a Successful, Safe Fast
1. Fast in a bright airy room, with exceptionally goo d ventilation, because fasters not only need a lot of fresh air; their bodies give
off powerfully offensive odors.
2. Sun bathe if possible in warm climates for 10 to 20 minutes in the morning before the sun gets too strong.
3. Scrub/massage the skin wit h a dry brush, stroking toward the heart, followed by a warm water shower two to four times a day to
assist the skin in eliminating toxins. If you are too weak to do this, have an assisted bed bath.
4. Have two enemas daily for the first week of a fast an d then once daily until the fast is terminated.
5. Insure a harmonious environment with supportive people or else fast alone if you are experienced. Avoid well -meaning
interference or anxious criticism at all cost. The faster becomes hypersensitive to oth ers" emotions.
6. Rest profoundly except for a short walk of about 200 yards morning and night.
7. Drink water! At least three quarts every day. Do not allow yourself to become dehydrated!
8. Control yourself! Break a long fast on diluted non -sweet frui t juice such as grapefruit juice, sipped a teaspoon at a time, no more
than eight ounces at a time no oftener than every 2 or 3 hours. The second day you eat, add small quantities of fresh juicy f ruit to
the same amount of juice you took the day before no oftener than every 3 hours. By small quantities I mean half an apple or the
equivalent. On the third day of eating, add small quantities of vegetable juice and juicy vegetables such as tomatoes and
cucumbers.
Control yourself! The second week after eating  resumed add complex vegetable salads plus more complex fruit salads. Do not mix
fruit and vegetables at meals. The third week add raw nuts and seeds no more than 1/2 ounce three times daily. Add 1/4 avocad o
daily. Fourth week increase to 3 ounces of raw s oaked nuts and seeds daily and 1/2 avocado daily. Cooked grains may also be
added, along with steamed vegetables and vegetable soups.

The Prime Rules Of Fasting
    Another truism of natural hygiene is that we dig our own graves with our teeth. It is sad  but true that almost all eat too much
quantity of too little quality. Dietary excesses are the main cause of death in North America. Fasting balances these excesse s. If
people were to eat a perfect diet and not overeat, fasting would rarely be necessary.
    There are two essential rules of fasting. If these rules are ignored or broken, fasting itself can be life threatening. But i f the rules
are followed, fasting presents far less risk than any other important medical procedure with a far greater likelih ood of a positive
outcome. And let me stress here, there is no medical procedure without risk. Life itself is fraught with risk, it is a one -way ticket
from birth to death, with no certainty as to when the end of the line will be reached. But in my opinion, when handling
degenerative illness and infections, natural hygiene and fasting usually offer the best hope of healing with the least possib le risk.

"We are coming to a time, particularly in our country, where there is hardly a
family that has not lost a close friend or relative to cancer. And the family has
watched this person go from fairly robust good health to a skeleton and be tortured by

consider it, you remember your friends' or relatives' story and give it a lot of serious
thought."
Bone Cancer Testimonial
Ina S. ~ West, FL
9-Year Victory Over Bone Cancer
I  would like to tell others what Dr. Kelley's book, One Answer to Cancer, did for a
number of us but more especially just how it began with me.
Doctors had tenderly, but emphatically, told me that they could do nothing for my
condition. It was apparently cancer of the bone — and as lovingly as a father, with
tears in his eyes, one doctor said: "You'll get worse until —?" He left me
immediately. Somehow I  didn't feel shaken at all. I  felt so secure in God's hands. I
knew the doctor in the clinic had told my son that it was a matter of 3 to 6 months.
This doctor said the spine was hopelessly deteriorating. Nine vertebrae were
collapsed. This caused cramps across the shoulders and chest. When the attacks
came upon me I  was in such pain as to have to have pain-killing relief by medication.
These tablets had such severe side effects that I  could not endure them.
My bones were brittle and, as the doctors told my son, they were like chalk. So
small a pressure as a bump of my elbow against the ribs would crack a rib. Faith in
God as my greatest physician helped me to hold steady until one day I  was touched
by His healing power. The healing was instantaneous as to the pain and spine.
Doctor's couldn't believe this but I  never took an aspirin or any narcotic. There was
no pain or cramps. The spine was healed.
At this time Dr. Kelley's book, One Answer to Cancer, was laid on a table near my
bed. So I  picked it up two or three times. Finally, I  realized I  was not gaining strength
but the opposite was true. However, I  never had another pain in my spine nor
cramps. So I  read from Dr. Kelley's book these words: "Malignancy indicates an
active pancreatic enzyme deficiency." I  began in earnest to read. Every word sounded
so logical and clear. Cancer always seemed like a killer that couldn't be controlled.
The killer was too complex. But Dr. Kelley had the key. He was unselfish and tried to
put the key on the lowest shelf where all of us, little or big, intelligent or uninformed
could all reach the key to one answer! The diet and nutritional program cost a bit but
nothing compared to the fruitless efforts of the medical doctors, hospitals, etc. So, on
my bed of affliction, growing weaker all the way, I  set myself to follow each step of
Dr. Kelley's instructions.
159
Winning The Cancer War
Many times I  would think, "Perhaps I  am wrong in following Dr. Kelley's diet and
nutritional program." Our medical doctors wouldn't listen when I  told them about it.
But, feeling I  had nothing to lose, I  kept on. Dr. Kelley's book is most valuable. Here,
I  who knew nothing, was free from those painful unprofitable visits to the doctor's
office. Eating differently was never a problem for me — I  had been a missionary for
40 years. If a diet would help, I  thought I  should get on it as strictly as Dr. Kelley
suggested — and not just keep eating anything I  felt like eating. So I  took everything
seriously. One year later I  felt much better; I  was up and out on the road in the
missionary services traveling 20,000 miles one summer. However, I  felt I  needed
some guidance so I  went to see Dr. Kelley. It had been a constant battle to keep on a
strict and proper diet with the stress and strain of my work.
I  have gone abroad three times and carried a heavy workload in the U.S.A. to visit
among hundreds abroad and at home, and to not eat "junk" food takes a backbone of
steel and a conviction that this nutritional program is best. Stress and strain goes with
the public appearances and directional work but these five years have been good
years, although they were not without battles, but I  am able to work 12 hours nearly
every day but Sunday.
Even if members of our family and missionary group have no cancer, my husband
and I  urge all to consider the value of a nutritional diet as a way of life and health.
Our grandchildren are being taught the importance of proper diets, purges and
careful living.
There are those around us who are dying of cancer unnecessarily. We have
suggested the Kelley nutritional program to people we've seen in need, but many
have refused to put that much effort into regaining their health and are now gone.
We've seen others who have willingly read Dr. Kelley's book in time, and have found
the Key and are living examples today of what his program can do.
Dr. Kelley: "When the doctor says you have cancer, he gets your attention rather
rapidly and God gets our attention rather rapidly. We address God immediately. Then
we realize God has been talking to us all along, we just haven't been listening. He's
been trying to communicate with us in several ways short of violating our own free
w ill. The reason that he created us is to let us experience life and to have free will,
and to come to him voluntarily and with love and appreciation — not by force, but
because of the love that is in our hearts.
"As we address the situation of cancer, we realize that we did it to ourselves and
this is, to me, the chief characteristic of God — his respect for our free w ill. It's one of
the greatest lessons I  have learned through the cancer situation, through my cancer.
God in all of his wisdom and comprehension and completeness and knowingness
does not force us to do anything — to be right, to do right, to be kind to each other —
160
Winning The Cancer War
to do anything.
He has set the rules, the requirements, and the example of how we should conduct
our life activities, but we are so dumb we can't figure it all out. He has given us great
freedom. He has respect for our beings and our persons. He allows us the privilege of
getting into trouble. When we do get into trouble we turn around and blame God.
Those of us who get into trouble with cancer are learning a pretty tough lesson, but
we get the message eventually.
When we get the message, that it is our fault, we turn, and in our pride and
haughtiness and all the other things that go along with the proper description of us,
we humble ourselves and vow ourselves to reality and truth and righteousness, and
then God can talk to us. I  just hope those who learn this lesson, as most of my
counselees have, don't have to learn it again. Or suffer some other tragedy."
Prostate and Rectal Cancer Testimonial
Walter M. ~ Daytona Beach, FL
11-Year Victory Over Prostate and Rectal Cancer
When I  fully realized that the forthcoming biopsy would reveal a malignancy, my
emotions completely overwhelmed me. That horrible thought which had plagued me
for years could and would come true.
For many years prior to the actual operation, I  had been bothered with prostatitis.
But with the absence of information and having a strong, youthful body, any thought
of potential problems were quickly dismissed. These were things that always
happened to the "other guy."
As the years passed by, the problem became more acute and visits to the urologist
became more frequent. My attitude then changed to one of concern.
I  was granted a brief respite from worry after a needle biopsy showed there was no
malignancy. But still there was the burning and discomfort that intensified when my
wife and I  would take long trips by car. The embarrassment of having to urinate
regardless of passing traffic played havoc with my nerves. There was a time when it
became so irritating that it was necessary to visit a clinic in another state while
traveling, in order to obtain relief. And it was the usual prescription of antibiotics. But
it did provide temporary relief.
One night while preparing to retire, I  sat on the edge of the bed to remove my
shoes. There was a pain in the rectal area that surpassed all other pain. It was
161

impossible to sit. After an emergency visit to our family physician brought relief, I
returned to the urologist and was told there was a nodule on the prostate


 may be things you’re afraid to do or things part
of you wants to do and part of you doesn’t. Remember, nothing is
black or white.
• You can feel comfortable with your self-delusional system. Lying
to yourself keeps you from having to admit that you are not a “doer”
in this particular present moment.
• You can stay exactly as you are forever, as long as you keep
putting it off. Thus you eliminate change and all the risks that go
with it.
• By being bored you have someone or something else to blame
for your unhappy state, thus you shift responsibility away from
yourself and onto the boring activity.
• By being a critic you can feel important at the expense of others.
It is a way of using others’ performance as stepping-stones for elev-
ating yourself in your own mind. More self-delusion.
• By waiting for things to get better you can blame the world for
your unhappiness—things just never seem to break for you. A great
strategy for doing nothing.
• You can avoid ever having to fail by avoiding all activities184 / Your Erroneous Zoneswhich involve some risk. In this way you never have to come face
to face with your self-doubt.
• Wishing for things to happen—Santa Claus fantasies—allow
you to return to a safe and protected childhood.
• You can win sympathy from others and feel sorry for yourself
for the anxiety that you live with as a result of not doing what you’d
like to have done.
• You are able to justify a sloppy or less than acceptable perform-
ance on anything if you put it off long enough, and then just allow
a minimal time segment for getting it done. “But I just didn’t have
time.”
• By putting it off, you might be able to get someone else to do it
for you. Thus, procrastination becomes a means of manipulating
others.
• Putting it off enables you to delude yourself into believing that
you are something other than what you really are.
• By avoiding a task you can escape success. If you don’t succeed
you avoid having to feel good about yourself and accepting all of
the continuing responsibility that goes with success.
Now that you have some insight into why you procrastinate, you
can begin to do something about eliminating this self-destructive
erroneous zone.
Some Techniques for Ousting This Postponing Behavior
• Make a decision to live five minutes at a time. Instead of thinking
of tasks in long-range terms, think about now and try to use up a
five-minute period doing what you want, refusing to put off anything
that would bring about satisfaction.
• Sit down and get started on something you’ve been postponing.
Begin a letter or a book. You’ll find that much of yourPUTTING AN END TO PROCRASTINATION—NOW  / 185putting it off is unnecessary since you’ll very likely find the job en-
joyable, once you give up the procrastination. Simply beginning will
help you to eliminate anxiety about the whole project.
• Ask yourself, “What is the worst thing that could happen to me
if I did what I’m putting off right now?” The answer is usually so
insignificant that it may jar you into action. Assess your fear and
you’ll have no reason to hang onto it.
• Give yourself a designated time slot (say Wednesday from 10:00
to 10:15 P.M.) which you will devote exclusively to the task you’ve
been putting off. You’ll discover that the fifteen minutes of devoted
effort are often sufficient to see you over the hump of procrastination.
• Think of yourself as too significant to live with anxiety about
the things you have to do. So, the next time you know you are un-
comfortable with postponement anxiety, remember that people who
love themselves don’t hurt themselves that way.
• Look carefully at your now. Decide what you are avoiding in
your current moments and begin to tackle the fear of living effect-
ively. Procrastination is substituting the now with anxiety about a
future event. If the event becomes the now, the anxiety, by definition,
must go.
• Quit smoking…now! Begin your diet…this moment! Give up
booze…this second. Put this book down and do one push-up as your
beginning exercise project. That’s how you tackle problems…with
action now! Do it! The only thing holding you back is you, and the
neurotic choices you’ve made because you don’t believe you’re as
strong as you really are. How simple…just do it!
• Start using your mind creatively in what were previously boring
circumstances. At a meeting, change the dull tempo with a pertinent
question, or make your mind go off in exciting ways such as writing
a poem, or memorizing twenty-five numbers backwards, just for
the sheer drill of memory training. Decide to never be bored again.186 / Your Erroneous Zones• When someone begins to criticize you, ask this question, “Do
you think I need a critic now?” Or when you find yourself being a
critic, ask the person in your company if he wants to hear your citi-
cism, and if so, why? This will help you to move from the critic to
the doer column.
• Look hard at your life. Are you doing what you’d choose to be
doing if you knew you had six months to live? If not, you’d better
begin doing it because, relatively speaking, that’s all you have.
Given the eternity of time, thirty years or six months make no differ-
ence. Your total lifetime is a mere speck. Delaying anything makes
no sense.
• Be courageous about undertaking an activity that you’ve been
avoiding. One act of courage can eliminate all that fear. Stop telling
yourself that you must perform well. Remind yourself that doing it
is far more important.
• Decide not to be tired until the moment before you get into bed.
Don’t allow yourself to use fatigue or illness as an escape or to put
off doing anything. You may find that when you take away the
reason for the illness or exhaustion—that is, avoidance of a
task—physical problems “magically” disappear.
• Eliminate the words “hope,” “wish” and “maybe” from your
vocabulary. They are the tools of putting it off. If you see these words
creeping in, substitute new sentences. Change
“I hope things will work out” to “I will make it happen.”
“I wish things were better” to “I am going to do the following
things to ensure that I feel better.”
“Maybe it will be okay” to “I will make it okay.”
• Keep a journal of your own complaining or critical behavior.
By writing these actions down, you’ll accomplish two things. You’ll
see how your critical behavior surfaces in your life—the frequency,
patterns, events and people that are related to your being a critic.
You’ll also stop yourself from criticizing because it will be such a
pain to have to write in the journal.
• If you are putting something off which involves others (a move,
a sex problem, a new job), have a conference with all in-PUTTING AN END TO PROCRASTINATION—NOW  / 187volved and ask their opinions. Be courageous about talking of your
own fears, and see if you are delaying for reasons that are only in
your head. By enlisting the aid of a confidant to help you with your
procrastination, you’ll have made it a joint effort. Soon you’ll dissip-
ate much of the anxiousness that goes along with procrastination
by sharing that as well.
• Write a contract with your loved ones in which you will deliver
the goods you want to but which you may have been postponing.
Have each party keep a copy of the contract, and build in penalties
for defaulting. Whether it’s a ball game, dinner-out, vacation, or
theater visit, you’ll find this strategy helpful and personally reward-
ing, since you’ll be participating in events that you also find enjoy-
able.
If you want the world to change, don’t complain about it. Do
something. Rather than using up your present moments with all
kinds of immobilizing anxiety over what you are putting off, take
charge of this nasty erroneous zone and live now! Be a doer, not a
wisher, hoper or critic.188 / Your Erroneous ZonesX
DECLARE YOUR
INDEPENDENCE
In any relationship in which two people become
one, the end result is two half people.
Leaving the psychological nest is one of life’s difficult chores. The
dependency viper intrudes in life in many, many ways, and routing
it entirely is made more difficult by the numerous people who benefit
from another’s psychological dependency. Psychological independ-
ence means total freedom from all obligatory relationships, and an
absence of other-directed behavior. It means being free from having
to do something you would not otherwise choose, were the relation-
ship not to exist. The nest-leaving business is especially difficult
because our society teaches us to fulfill certain expectations in special
relationships, which include parents, children, authority figures and
loved ones.
Leaving the nest means becoming your own person, living and
choosing the behaviors that you want. It does not mean
189breaking off in any sense of the word. If you enjoy your way of in-
teracting with anyone and it doesn’t interfere with your own goals,
then it is something you can cherish rather than change. Psycholo-
gical dependence, on the other hand, means that you are in relation-


 free and

"Some months ago, my wife's wrists were overgrown with small
moles. A famous Dermatologist was consulted who prescribed costly
medicines and tablets and also frightened by the warning 'if enough
caution is not observed the body will be convered with them.' I gave

He washed the ulcer with hot urine, and for half an hour fomented
the wound and put a urine pack. In the evening when Shri Pandit

would return it in his own bottles. She was asked to massage the

DISEASES OF 'EARS
1. Aching Ears : Vaidya Karunashankar Ramshankar Trivedi is
one of the noted Ayurvedic physicians of Ahmedabad. He writes a
medical column every week in )anasatta, a Gujarati daily, giving
Ayurvedic prescriptions for different ailments. His own experience of
urine therapy is as follows :
(1) Ear-ache : This ·can be cured with quite fresh or. slightly
warmed urine. This is my own experience. I was young and was
reading in the eighth· standard. Once we were sleeping on the
marble floor of a beautiful temple -a friend of mine, my brother and
I were thus asleep when a small centipede entered my ear. I was
just a child, I began creating a row. But the temple doorman told
me that nothing was possible as it was quite late in the night. He
advised us to put some urine in the ear and go to sleep. Next
morning everything will be clear. My brother dropped my own
urine in my ear.
In the morning we were surprised to see two-three pieces of the
centipede stuck to my ear. Whether it was due to urine or whether it
came out of its own accord can never be known for sure. But I
give all the credit for the cure to the urine and for suggesting this I
am grateful to the doorman of the temple.
(2) Shri K. G. Pandit informs that in 1966 in Calcutta a
12-year-old boy Rajendra Gadgil was having acute pain in the ear

is one of the very worst conditions  to tackle; notably because the
foreign deposits are largely  lodged in the bones. Even to cure  an
incipient case  I have found that it takes anywhere  from 12 to 40 days
on a very carefully selected diet, the taking of every drop of urine
passed, and  long daily rubbings  with urine. (These were cases where
the patients had  objected to or had  not found it feasible to fast.)
Nevertheless,  I regard such treatment  as only half  measures,  and
maintain that a complete  urine‐fast  of even 10 days does far more  to
help the victims than months of mere dieting and  the taking of urine.
But I must  emphasis  that where  the trouble has become deep‐seated, 93
 and the victim  is practically  crippled, there  is little prospect of obtaining
a cure.
I will now add a few cases kindly supplied by the naturopath  Mr. Oliver
Warnock‐Fielden
“Bronchial  Asthma. Mr. D.E., age 37. Discharged  from the Navy for
Bronchial  Asthma, from which he had suffered  since the age of 14. The
sea life seemed to make the trouble worse. Disturbed  each night  at
lean four times in order to use a medical spray,  also he dare  not go to
the theatre  without  it so that he could use it between.  the acts.  Within
three  months, during which  he drank urine up to three or four pints  a
day,  and two short  fasts of 36 to 40 hours  each on urine alone, he
became  so much relieved that he never thinks  of taking his spray to the
theatre, nor does he wake up at night to use it. All fear of his trouble
has left him and his general health is vastly improved.
Another  case  of the same trouble improved  in a four days'  fast on urine,
when a three weeks'  fast at a wellknown  Nature  Cure Home had utterly
failed. After every drink  of urine a wad of mucus  was discharged.  The
last day of the fast produced  such a clot of mucus  that the patient went
out and  tested his breathing  by walking up a hill. Experiencingg  no
difficulty he immediately  returned to work."
"Diseased  Kidney. Mr. G.D.  In May, 1944, he was in hospital for the
removal of his right kidney. He had  suffered great pain, the urine was
the colour of blood, and  the X‐ray had  shown a large stone lodged in
the pelvis  of the kidney. The surgeon's  opinion was that the kidney was
diseased  and  not to remove it would  be a danger to life. However,  Mr.
D. refused the operation  and came to me. He took to urine drinking 94
 quite naturally,  drank all he passed; fasted  repeatedly  for several days
at a time, and  within a few weeks the condition  was improved  to the
extent that there  was no pain and  the urine was of normal  colour.  In
three  months  Mr. D. returned to the hospital  and  was told that there
was nothing wrong  with his kidney.
As a result of this successful  treatment,  Mr. D. brought me a patient
who had been in hospital waiting to undergo the same operation.  He
also was cured by the same method.
In cases such as these  one must accept the verdict of the examining
surgeons  and the radiologist  who in both instances  were pressing for an
operation  as the only means of relief, or even of saving
