 possible. A lot of cleaning around
the house can be done with just water and a bit of vinegar or lemon juice,
bicarbonate of soda and olive oil. You can clean your wood floors with
strong tea. You can polish your furniture with a mixture of 1 cup of olive oil
with 7a cup of white vinegar. You can pour white wine on red wine spills on
your carpet to remove the stain.
It is wise not to re-decorate the house or install new carpets or furniture
while the patient is trying to detoxify. Paints, many building materials, new
carpets, new furniture outgas a plethora of extremely toxic chemicals
which we absorb through our lungs, skin and mucous membranes. New
carpet can outgas considerable amounts of highly carcinogenic formalde
hyde for a few years. New furniture is full of fire retardants, which are great
contributors of antimony (a toxic heavy metal) in our systems. Fresh
household paints outgas dozens of extremely toxic chemicals into the air of
the house for at least six months. Just recently I had a phone call from a
parent of an autistic child who, apart from severe autism, had epilepsy.
After implementing the GAPS nutritional protocol the seizures disap
peared completely and the child was doing very well. Then, unfortunately,
the parents decided to paint the walls in the house. The day the painter
started work the child had a major epileptic fit. Epilepsy in a majority of
cases, particularly in children, is caused by toxicity. Obviously, this child's
detoxification system was not ready to take an onslaught of the extremely
toxic chemicals which we can breathe in from paints.
Very important contributors to the general toxic overload in the body are
cosmetics, toiletries, perfumes and other personal care products. The per
sonal care products industry is generally not regulated. More than a thou
sand of various carcinogenic and toxic chemicals are widely used in formu
lation of shampoos, soaps, toothpaste, cosmetics, perfumes, creams, etc.
The old opinion that our skin is a barrier and does not let toxins in has
proven to be completely wrong. Human skin absorbs most things from the
environment very efficiently, in some cases even better than our digestive
system. Toxins, which go into the body through the digestive system, have
to pass through the liver, where most of them get broken down and ren
dered benign. That is why the pharmaceutical industry recently started
producing more and more drugs which are applied to the skin as patches,
because the skin absorbs them better than the digestive system and they
get straight into the bloodstream without passing the test of the liver. The
wide use of personal care products is a major contributor to our cancer
epidemic. Children, women and men are unknowingly exposing themselves to huge amounts of carcinogenic substances, which they apply
to their skin. A good example is breast cancer. Cells removed from a can
cerous breast in many cases are full of aluminium - a toxic heavy metal.
Where does all this aluminium come from? Probably from not far away -
from the deodorants, absorbed through the skin in the woman's armpits.
Recent research into heavy metals showed that when a pregnant animal is
exposed to them they accumulate in large amounts in the foetus. That is
why it is particularly important for a pregnant or breast-feeding mother to
be careful what personal products and cosmetics she puts on her skin, face
and hair. In this book we cannot go into the details of all toxins present in
our toiletries and cosmetics. But let us list some of the most common ones.
• Talc or talcum powder can cause ovarian cancer. Do not use it, partic
ularly on babies!
• Sodium Lauryl (Laureth) Sulfate (SLS) - highly toxic detergent and is
present in most shampoos, soaps and toothpaste.
• Fluoride - a terrible poison for every system in the body. Widespread
in toothpaste and other dental care products. It is added to some
water supplies and given to babies as drops. If you are not familiar
with its toxicity I would strongly advise you to learn more about it and
avoid it like the plague.
• Titanium Dioxide - carcinogenic.
• Triethanolamine (TEA) and Diethanolamine (DEA) form carcinogenic
nitrosamines.
• Lanolin, itself a non-toxic natural substance is often contaminated
with DDT and other carcinogenic pesticides.
• Dioxanes are inhaled and absorbed through skin - highly carcino
genic.
• Saccharin - carcinogenic.
• Formaldehyde - a toxic and carcinogenic substance.
• Propylene Glycol - carcinogenic.
• Lead, aluminium and other heavy metals are present in many per
sonal care products, particularly in deodorants and make-up.
In patients with GAP syndrome use of personal care products should be
reduced to an absolute minimum. The body does not need washing with
soaps, shower gels or bubble baths. They not only contribute to the general
toxic overload, but they also wash off important oils, which protect the skin
from infections and drying out. Washing with water and a sponge should
be quite enough. A child does not need any personal care products apart from natural
toothpaste. There are number of companies who produce safe personal
care products without harmful substances, listed above.
To assist elimination of toxins through the skin, give your child a bath
every night before bed. Instead of bath soaps, add a cup of cider vinegar to
the bath, it will help to normalise the pH of the skin and encourage appro
priate skin flora, as well as assisting the detoxification process. On alter
nate days add a cup of Epsom Salt to the bath, which will also assist in the
detoxification process. Air your house regularly and let your child spend as
much time as possible in the fresh air.
Swimming pools are very toxic places. People generally believe that
going to the swimming pool is a healthy exercise. This cannot be further
from the truth. Apart from a few rare pools in the world, sterilised with
ozone, the rest of them use chlorine-based chemicals for sterilising the
water. Chlorine is a poison, which affects every system in the body, partic
ularly the immune system and liver. It absorbs quite well through the skin.
But apart from that a thick layer of chlorine gas is floating above the swim
ming pool water, which children and adults inhale while swimming.
Inhaled chlorine absorbs extremely well through the lungs into the blood
stream. GAPS patients are already very toxic. Swimming in a chlorinated
pool would add to that toxicity.
GAPS people should swim in the natural waters of lakes, rivers and sea
instead of the toxic chemical soup of swimming pools. Natural waters are
full of life, biological energy from plants and different creatures, minerals,
enzymes and many other beneficial substances. Swimming in natural
living waters has been prized as a therapy for many health problems for
centuries. Obviously, you have to make sure that the water you swim in is
as far as possible from any source of industrial pollution.
Washing powders and liquids all stay in the fabric of our clothes,
bedding and towels and also contribute to the toxic overload. Try to look
for safer ecologically friendly alternatives.
Houseplants are our great friends when it comes to keeping our houses
toxin free. They consume the toxic gases and replace them with oxygen and
other beneficial substances. Fill your house with geraniums, ivies, spider
plants, Aloe Vera, ficuses and many other varieties of houseplants. The
more the merrier, particularly in your bedrooms! Keep your houseplants
healthy, don't let them become mouldy, as some GAPS people may react to
moulds. Detoxification and reducing exposure to environmental toxins has to be
an important part of the treatment of GAP Syndrome. Normalising gut
ilora, appropriate nourishing diet, clean water, juicing and avoiding expo
sure to toxins are the natural measures which work very well and without
any side effects!
A healthy body is clean inside!
Happy cleaning! PART THREE:
DIFFERENT ISSUES
i. EAR INFECTIONS
AND GLUE EAR
Ear infections and glue ear are the most common reasons why GAPS chil
dren are prescribed so many antibiotics in their first years of life. But if we
look at ear infections and glue ear on their own, we will see another epi
demic. Ear infections account for more than a third of all visits to GPs.
Around two-thirds of all children in the western world have ear infections
at some time every year, with one-third having more than four ear infec
tions a year.
Why do we have this epidemic? Why do so many children finish up with
ear grommets after endless courses of antibiotics for acute ear infections?
To understand this phenomenon we have to look at the structure of the
ear.
Ear infections happen in the middle ear, which is quite a small enclosed
space - its volume is about 1 cubic cm. Its main function is to pass the
sound from the eardrum to the inner ear, which it does very efficiently with
a system of three interconnected tiny bones. The middle ear is filled with
air and is separated from the outer ear canal by the eard

hormonal
system
is
self-regulation.
And
such
an
impulse
to
further
development
can
be
given
by
receiving
one's
own
urine
or
the
urine
of
another
person
of
the
same
sex
and
approximately
the
same
age.
This
will
enhance
thefeedback
and
tune
other
functions.
The
Shivambukalpa
book
of
Indian
yogis
even
claims,
that
by
using
urine
for
a
period
In
3
months,
a
person
will
get
rid
of
all
diseases
completely
and
forever!
I
believe
it,
after
a
few
years
of
very
moderate
urine
use
I
feel
absolutely
bulletproof.
No
sickness,
no
trouble
at
55.
And
that
I
was
really
riddled
with
diseases.
There
will
probably
be
a
lot
of
psychology
involved
here,
I
just
don't
admit
that
I
could
be
sick
at
all.
3)
thyroid
produces
the
hormone
thyroxine,
a
complex
substance
containing
iodine.
This
hormone
affects
the
activity
of
certain
enzymes.
If
it
is
not
produced
enough,
metabolism
and
cell
division
slows
down,
the
organism
lags
behind
in
spiritual
and
physical
development.
There
is
cretinism.
Urine
has
a
very
favorable
effect
on
this
gland.
Saves
iodine,
especially
if
there
is
little
of
it
in
food.
The
thyroid
gland
consists
of
vesicles,
entwined
with
blood
capillaries,
and
the
cells
of
the
vesicles
are
filled
with
a
mucous
fluid
(colloid)
in
which
the
hormone
accumulates.
If
the
colloid
is
poorly
diluted,
the
hormone
is
not
secreted
from
the
cell
in
full
and
there
is
a
lack
of
it.
The
intake
of
urine
helps
to
dilute
the
colloid,
reduces
its
viscosity
and
allows
free
penetration
of
thyroxine
into
the
blood.
Hence
the
first
warning:
in
Bazed's
disease,
when
the
activity
of
the
thyroid
gland
is
too
intense,
the
intake
of
urine
must
be
very
careful.
And
if
symptoms
of
worsening
condition
appear
-
insomnia,
irritability,
muscle
weakness,
weight
loss
-
then
urine
cannot
be
used.
4)
Parathyroid
glands
there
are
four
in
total
and
they
regulate
the
conversion
of
calcium
in
the
body,
its
content
in
the
blood.
There
must
be
two
potassium
ions
for
one
calcium
ion.
This
ratio
is
regulated
by
parathormone.
When
there
is
not
enough
of
this
hormone,
convulsions
occur,
mostly
in
the
limbs.
Many
people
have
experienced
a
significant
improvement
in
their
health
after
taking
urine,
because
urine
helps
to
replenish
insuf ficient
amount
of
parathyroid
hormone
.
5)
Thymus
gland
is
a
gland
that
produces
10
hormones.
One
of
them
is
growth
hormone.
The
main
function
of
the
thymus
is
to
ensure
the
immune
protection
of
the
organism.
Under
immune
protection,
we
mean
the
distinction
and
destruction
of
everything
foreign
in
the
body:
pathogenic
cells
of
microor ganisms,
old,
diseased
or
altered
cells,
cancerous
and
others
that
are
foreign
to
the
organism.
T-lymphocytes,
produced
by
the
thymus,
provide
anti-viral
and
anti-tumor
defense.
However,
with
age,
the
mass
of
the
thymus
decreases
considerably
and
thus
the
immunity
also
deteriorates.
The
organism
becomes
much
more
sensitive
to
various
infections,
the
risk
of
developing
atherosclerosis,
cancer,
Parkinson's
disease
and
other
ailments
increases.
However,
it
is
possible
to
stop
the
dying
of
the
thymus
function
if
we
take
children's
urine,
which
the
old
healers
already
considered
very
beneficial.
The
child's
urine
is
saturated
with
the
whole
range
substances
helping
to
strengthen
immunity.
It
is
best
to
use
a
child's
urine,
starting
from
a
newborn
and
ending
at
the
age
of
12-13
years.
Therefore,
if
you
want
to
increase
your
own
anti-infection,
anti-virus
and
anti-cancer
defenses,
dissolve
foreign
tissue,
e.g.
corneal
clouding,
you
must
regularly
use
baby
urine.
6)
Pancreas
weighs
about
80
grams.
Its
juices
help
digest
food.
The
gland
secretes
the
hormone
insulin,
which
regulates
the
sugar
level
in
the
body.
With
the
help
of
this
hormone,
sugar
is
stored
in
the
body
(in
the
muscles,
liver,
etc.).
Glucagon
-
another
hormone
of
the
pancreas
or
pancreas
-
has
the
opposite
effect
of
insulin.
Dysfunction
of
the
pancreas
leads
to
diabetes.
Practice
has
shown
that
taking
urine,
especially
in
non-neglected
cases,
makes
it
possible
to
eliminate
this
disease.
7)
Adrenal
glands
consist
of
two
parts:
the
brain
(inner)
and
the
cortex
(outer).
These
parts
secrete
hormones
that
have
a
variety
of
functions.
Adrenaline
is
a
brain
substance
hormone
that
constricts
blood
vessels,
increases
blood
pressure,
and
speeds
up
heart
contractions.
Glucocorticoids
regulate
carbohydrate
and
nitrogen
metabolism.
These
hormones
areconsidered
stimulators
of
all
life
processes.
Hormones
coming
from
the
cortex
of
the
adrenal
glands
are
closely
related
to
the
hormones
of
the
gonads.
Their
lack
leads
to
disorders
in
the
sexual
sphere.
In
women,
it
causes
the
growth
of
hair
on
the
face,
in
men,
an
increase
in
the
voice,
and
a
reduction
in
sexual
needs.
Many
cases
are
known
when
taking
urine,
especially
evaporated,
helped
normalize
hair
growth
in
women
(facial
hair
disappeared),
improve
potency
in
men,
and
also
eliminate
various
diseases
associated
with
adrenal
gland
dysfunction.
8)
Gonads
they
produce
a
whole
complex
of
hormones,
on
which
our
health,
our
appearance,
mood
and
general
feeling
of
well-being
largely
depend.
As
already
said,
the
gonads
work
with
increasing
load
every
year,

effects	resulting	from	the	intake	of	medicinal	drugs,	side	effects	that	the	Food	and	Drug
Administration	(FDA)	or	pharmaceutical	companies	may	not	even	be	aware	of.

The	most	common	form	of
jaundice
	results	from	gallstones	being	stuck	in	the	bile	duct
leading	to	the	duodenum,	and/or	from	gallstones	and	fibrous	tissue	distorting	the	structural
framework	of	the	liver	lobules.	The	movement	of	bile	through	the	bile	channels
(canaliculi)	is	blocked,	and	the	liver	cells	can	no	longer	conjugate
4
	and	excrete	bile
pigment,	known	as
bilirubin
.	Consequently,	there	is	a	buildup	in	the	bloodstream	of	both
bile	and	the	substances	from	which	it	is	made.	As	bilirubin	begins	to	build	up	in	the	blood,
it	stains	the	skin.	Bilirubin	concentration	in	the	blood	may	be	three	times	above	normal
before	a
yellow	coloration
	of	both	the	skin	and	the	conjunctiva	of	the	eyes	becomesapparent.	Unconjugated	bilirubin	has	a	toxic	effect	on	brain	cells.	A	tumor	in	the	head	of
the	pancreas	caused	by	bile	duct	congestion	may	also	cause	jaundice.
	Diseases	of	the	Gallbladder	and	Bile	Ducts

The	liver	secretes	bile,	which	passes	via	the	two	hepatic	ducts	into	the	common	hepatic
duct.	The	common	hepatic	duct	runs	for	1.5	inches	before	joining	the	cystic	duct	that
connects	it	with	the	gallbladder.	Liver	bile	continues	its	journey	through	the	common	bile
duct	into	the	intestinal	tract,	but	most	of	it	must	first	pass	into	the	gallbladder.	The
gallbladder	is	a	pear-shaped	pouch	that	protrudes	from	the	bile	duct.	It	is	attached	to	the
posterior	side	of	the	liver	(see
Figure	5
).

A	normal	gallbladder	generally	holds	about	2	fluid	ounces	of	bile.	The	bile	stored	in	the
gallbladder,	however,	has	a	different	consistency	than	the	bile	found	in	the	liver.	In	the
gallbladder,	most	of	the	salt	and	water	contained	in	the	bile	is	reabsorbed,	thus	reducing	its
volume	to	a	mere	one-tenth	of	its	original	quantity.	Bile	salts	(as	opposed	to	regular	salt)
are	not	absorbed,	though,	which	means	their	concentration	is	increased	about	tenfold.	On
the	other	hand,	the	gallbladder	adds	mucus	to	the	bile,	which	turns	it	into	a	thick,	mucus-
like	substance.	Its	high	concentration	makes	bile	the	powerful	digestive	aid	that	it	is.

Figure	5
:	Location	of	the	gallbladder

The	muscular	walls	of	the	gallbladder	contract	and	eject	bile	when	acidic	foods	and
most	protein	foods	enter	the	duodenum	from	the	stomach.	A	more	marked	gallbladder
activity	is	noted	if	food	entering	the	duodenum	contains	a	high	proportion	of	fat.	The	body
uses	the	bile	salts	contained	in	bile	to	emulsify	the	fat	and	facilitate	its	digestion.	Once	the
bile	salts	have	done	their	job	and	left	the	emulsified	fat	for	intestinal	absorption,	they
travel	on	down	the	intestine.	Most	of	them	are	reabsorbed	in	the	final	section	of	the	small
intestine	(ileum)	and	carried	back	to	the	liver.	Once	in	the	liver,	the	bile	salts	are	collected
again	in	the	bile	and	secreted	into	the	duodenum.	Intestinal	congestion	sharply	reduces	the
amount	of	bile	salts	needed	for	proper	bile	production	and	fat	digestion.	Diminished	bile
salt	concentration	in	the	bile	causes	gallstones,	and	leaves	large	amounts	of	fats
undigested;	this	is	hazardous	to	the	intestinal	environment.
	Gallstones	in	the	gallbladder	may	be	made	primarily	of	cholesterol,	calcium,	or
pigments	such	as	bilirubin.	Cholesterol	is	the	most	common	component,	but	many	of	the
stones	are	of	mixed	composition.	Besides	the	above	ingredients,	gallstones	may	also
contain	bile	salts,	water,	and	mucus,	as	well	as	toxins,	bacteria,	and,	sometimes,	dead
parasites.

Typically,	stones	in	the	gallbladder	keep	growing	in	size	for	about	eight	years	before
noticeable	symptoms	begin	to	appear.	Larger	stones	are	generally	calcified	and	can	be
detected	easily	through	radiological	means	or	by	using
ultrasound
.	Some	85	percent	of	the
gallstones	found	in	the	gallbladder	measure	about	¾	inches	across	(see
Figure	6a
),
although	some	can	become	as	large	as	2	to	3	inches	across	(see
Figures	6b
	and	6c	of	a
calcified	gallstone;	I	personally	examined	and	photographed	this	stone	moments	after	my
wife	released	it	without	any	pain	during	her	ninth	liver	cleanse;	the	stone	emitted	an
extremely	noxious	odor	unlike	any	I	had	ever	come	across).	Such	stones	form	when,	for
reasons	explained	in	Chapter	3,	bile	in	the	gallbladder	becomes	too	saturated	and	its
unabsorbed	constituents	begin	to	harden.

(right):	The
same	stone,	cut	in	halves

If	a	gallstone	slips	out	of	the	gallbladder	and	becomes	impacted	in	the
cystic	bile	duct
	or
common	bile	duct
,	there	is	very	strong	spasmodic	contraction	of	the	wall	of	the	duct	(see
Figure	3
).	The	contraction	helps	to	move	the	stone	onward.	This	causes	severe	pain,
known	as
biliary	colic,
	and	is	accompanied	by	considerable	distension	of	the	gallbladder.
If	the	gallbladder	is	packed	with	gallstones,	it	can	suffer	extremely	painful	spasmodicmuscle	contractions.

Gallstones	can	cause	irritation	and	inflammation	of	the	lining	of	the	gallbladder,	as	well
as	of	the	cystic	and	common	bile	ducts.	This	is	a	condition	known	as
cholecystitis.
	There
may	also	be	superimposed	microbial	infection.	It	is	quite	common	to	encounter	ulceration
of	the	tissues	between	the	gallbladder	and	the	duodenum	or	colon,	with
fistula	formation
and
fibrous	adhesions.

Gallbladder	disease	generally	originates	in	the	liver.	When	the	occurrence	of	gallstones
in	the	bile	ducts	of	the	liver	and,	eventually,	the	development	of	fibrous	tissue	distort	the
structure	of	liver	lobules,	venous	blood	pressure	starts	to	rise	in	the	portal	vein.	This,	in
turn,	increases	the	blood	pressure	in	the	cystic	vein,	which	drains	venous	blood	from	the
gallbladder	into	the	portal	vein.	The	incomplete	elimination	of	waste	products	through	the
cystic	duct	causes	a	backup	of	acidic	waste	in	the	tissues	composing	the	gallbladder.	This
gradually	reduces	the	stamina	and	performance	of	the	gallbladder.	Subsequently,	the
formation	of	mineralized	gallstones	is	just	a	matter	of	time.

MAN VERSUS TOOTHACHE

by DR. GEORGE W. HEARD

Dr. George W. Heard

INTRODUCTION
 All worthwhile knowledge that is in the possession of civilized
man started first on what is termed a hunch. Observation of a series of
apparently coordinated phenomena has led men into wondering,
surmising and searching for more material to support his already
growing assumption.
This book is an account of just such a procedure—which has led
the author, Dr. Heard, to the point wh ere he feels that he can offer his
readers suggestions which followed through would open the way to a
more healthful enjoyment of living,  and relieve physical and mental
suffering. Having lost his own health, the author, by will power
alone— the fortitude to carry out painstakingly such self-imposed
restrictions in diet and living habits as seemed to aid in the recovery of
his health—gained not only health but a new vision of life. His ideas
should be studied by all those wh o are suffering fr om ill-conceived
and ill-advised habits—such as can be  corrected only by the individual
practice of self-control, a control which cannot be imposed by another
person from the outside. In short, it is the individual's own efforts at
self-discipline which can bring about lasting good for himself.
When I first read this work, I wa s inclined to advise that all
personal references be deleted— that the book be confined to
observations made and conclusions drawn therefrom. But, on a second
perusal, I saw that it was those very personal references which added
charm and interest: here is set down the life work of a man.
The mere record of the author's lifelong observations and
conclusions, printed in a book, would not be read so widely or prove
so valuable to the many potential readers.
I


 extirpates a hyperplastic gland, or tonsil, or adenoid without a
thought, or the slightest knowledge that these enlarge ments are but organized effects - neoplasms (new tissue growths) - that
cannot possibly come into existence without cause, which cause is not touched by the operation - and, then, pronounces his -
patient well (cured), does he not assume that the growth is  its own cause? To remove a gall stone and pronounce the patient
cured is tantamount to saying that the stone was its own cause. To remove the thyroid gland and pronounce the patient well of
goitre (hyperthyroidism) is to imply that the goiter caused itsel f. Is it difficult to understand that all of these procedures leave the
cause untouched - to result in the building of more pathology?

MEDICAL IGNORANCE ABOUT DISEASE
What is disease? Regular medical men freely confess that they do not know. Did they know  its essential nature, they would
cease their learned glibness about immunity. Theoretically, one "attack" of an infectious disease establishes immunity to fut ure
"attacks." In practice, they seek to borrow the "acquired immunity" of an animal and transfer  it to man. Or to produce a mild and
modified form of the disease so that immunity may be established.
As I have so often pointed out, this is an effort to set aside the law of cause and effect.
Only some so -called infectious diseases are supposed to confe r immunity. For example, Forel says: "One attack of gonorrhea
in no way protects against a second infection, but rather predisposes to it, and when this disease becomes chronic
exacerbations or relapses of the acute stage often occur without fresh infectio n." Nobody thinks that one "attack" of a cold
renders one immune to future "attacks." It is well known that one may have pneumonia numerous times. The same is true of
typhoid fever. The fact is that only a minority of the so -called infectious diseases are supposed to confer immunity. Of these,
there is not one that people have not had two or more times. For example, there are records of men and women having had
smallpox as many as five times.

ATTACK AND DEFENSE
Opposing truths cannot exist. Our medical, li ke our social and political state, is a stupendous frenzy. The former, like the latter,
is built out of dualism, and shredded by multiple contradictory systems. The universal belief in dualism has evolved a chaoti c
medical state that is well named a "fool' s paradise" instead of medical science. Our very thinking on the subjects of health and
disease is dualistic. We think of health and disease as antagonistic entities at war with each other. Disease is an "attack" from
without. Hence, our conception of prop er treatment is to go after the attacking force with hammer and tongs, or with shot and
shell - a practice that all too often cripples or kills the patient.

MAN - WELL FITTED TO LIVE ON EARTH
Where law and order reign, why should man be left in a more hel pless state than all life below him? To the logical mind, this is
unthinkable. It should be recognized by all that man is as well fitted to live on the earth as are the lower orders of life. His
environment is really more friendly to him than he is to it. It is certainly more friendly to him than he is to himself. A true health
science will teach man how to use both himself and his environment constructively - healthfully.
What does the average individual know about keeping well? Almost nothing. What does the average doctor of all the schools of
so-called healing know about keeping well? About as little as the average layman. The physician lives haphazardly and his
patients live as near like he does as they know how, or as their means permit. The people and  their doctors are all in the same
boat together with a blind man at the helm. They lack the chart and compass and drift aimlessly on a sea of ignorance and
misinformation.

MASKING THE SYMPTOMS
When a man becomes ill, he calls a physician, takes the drugs the latter prescribes, and gets well or not, as the case may be,
and neither he nor the physician knows why he did the one  or the other. Certainly the prescription of the physician has nothing
to do with his recovery. His prescription has been aimed at masking symptoms and not at cause. He hurls his shot and shell at
the "attacking" force with due courage and vigor and the on ly thing he destroys is the patient.

CANNOT PREDICT
The physician has no idea, previous to any one visit, how he will find his patient, and when he finds a change in symptoms, i t
has no meaning to him. When a physician prescribes for a patient and leaves him he has no more idea than the man in the
moon in what condition he will find his patient upon his next call. The very best of them cannot tell whether or not
"complications" will develop in a given case. They are never certain that their patient will im prove and cannot be sure that he will
not grow worse. When the physician finds a change of symptoms in his patient, he cannot tell whether this change is due to
food, drugs, fear, excitement caused by visitors, improper nursing, or to something else. He is  likely to conclude that it is a
"peculiarity of the disease" or an "unusual development." Every first -class physician knows that "modern medicine" cannot
predict anything. Yet, if they had a true science, if they knew real causes and had a valid plan of c are, they would be able to
predict - prognose - with something like precision, the outcome of the diseases in the patients they treat. Their very masking of
symptoms with drugs stand in their own light and prevents them from knowing the true conditions of their patients.

HOW ARE DISEASES NAMED?
What is disease? We apply this term to a group of abnormal signs and symptoms. We group these symptoms into vaguely
defined symptom complexes give the complexes names and then go after them with hammer and tongs. St ereotyped treatment
is the rule under this way of regarding disease. Quinine for malaria anti -toxin for diphtheria, arsenic for "syphilis", digitalis for the
heart, operation for appendicitis, morphine for cancer, the anti histamines for colds. In not one instance do we seek to find,
understand and remove cause.

MEASLES
Let us look at measles, which is defined as a "catarrhal fever, a typical enanthom," (eruption on the mucous membranes of the
eyes, nose, throat, occasionally bronchus and gastro -intestinal  mucous membrane). "The internal enanthema (eruption) is to be
expected, or suspected, when the exanthema (external eruption) fails to show up.
All of the symptomatology of measles, carefully compiled by the makers of medical text -books, as well as of all other so -called
diseases, has very little meaning for the physicians of the various schools of so -called healing. What does it mean? It means
that all of the eruptive fevers - all of the so -called diseases of the mucous membranes, those of the nose and lips, those
involving the throat and lungs, and ending with pneumonia, and all of those that involve the outer skin - are but different forms
of elimination of pent -up by -products of metabolism. They are processes of vicarious or compensatory excretion.

ACUTE DISEASE = DAMAGE REPAIR
Exaltation of function - rapid heart action, rapid breathing, diarrhea, increased temperature, etc., etc. - as seen in the various so -
called acute diseases, represents efforts of the body to eliminate toxins and repair damages.  In this respect, exaltation of
function is desirable and beneficial under certain conditions. Such exalted function indicates a wrong somewhere and this
wrong should be searched for and righted without depressing or weakening the sum of the vital energy.

THE COMMON COLD
A cold is a catarrhal disease, a "catarrhal fever," and is a process of vicarious elimination. Contrary to popular belief, a cold is
not something that we "catch," but it represents a process of getting rid of something we have slowly accu mulated. What does
cold weather have to do with the cause of colds? People "catch" colds as often in warm weather as in cold weather. An
increase in temperature may precipitate a cold as often as will a decrease in temperature. They have colds as often in dry as in
wet weather. Men have colds as often as women, although they dress heavier. Indeed, men have more catarrh than women,
because they dress more warmly, dissipate more and eat more.

TOXEMIA
Back of every catarrh is a toxemic state. Catarrh is impos sible in the absence of toxemia. Toxemia is produced by anything and
everything that enervates the body. Enervation inhibits (checks) excretion (elimination) permitting the accumulation of
uneliminated waste. The accumulation of body waste - end-products o


absorption	of	nutrients.	By	damaging	gut	tissue,	killing	off
beneficial	bacteria,	and	creating	an	environment	that	inhibits	the	growth	of
normal,	beneficial	gut	bacteria,	we	lose	our	ability	to	digest	food	and	absorb
nutrients	properly.	This	condition	creates	both	deficiency	and	toxicity,	the	two
causes	of	cellular	malfunction	and	disease.
Three	classes	of	drugs	are	responsible	for	much	of	this	damage:	NSAIDs,
antibiotics	and	hormones.	NSAIDs	physically	damage	gut	tissue	and	destabilize
the	normal	composition	of	bacteria	living	in	the	gut,	especially	if	combined	with
antibiotics.	Antibiotics	kill	friendly	bacteria	essential	to	health	and	result	in	a
variety	of	intestinal	infections.	Hormones,	such	as	birth	control	pills,	create
chemical	imbalances	in	the	gut,	thus	promoting	yeast	infections	such	as	candida.
Once	yeasts	change	the	environment	in	the	digestive	system,	a	long	chain	of
events	damage	health	and	cause	disease.
Gut	tissue	that	is	damaged	becomes	more	permeable	(“leaky”)	to	large
molecules	of	undigested	food	and	to	microorganisms	that	enter	the	bloodstream
and	circulate	throughout	the	body.	This	occurrence	provokes	chronic	immune
responses	manifested	as	food	allergies	and	other	inflammatory	conditions,	and
such	inflammatory	conditions	may	be	the	basis	of	all	chronic	disease.
These	immune	responses	sometimes	create	antibodies	that	match	certain	body
tissues	and	attack	them,	resulting	in	autoimmune	diseases	such	as	lupus	or
arthritis.	A	person	who	has	a	damaged	gut	may	eat	an	excellent	diet	but	still
suffer	malnutrition	because	of	nutrient	malabsorption.
Adding	malabsorption	to	an	already	deficient	diet	is	catastrophic	to	long-term
health.	Excessive	immune	reactions	produce	much	debris,	called	immune
complexes,	which	can	overburden	the	kidneys	and	cause	kidney	disease.	In	fact,
allergic	reactions	may	be	the	leading	cause	of	kidney	disease.	Major	and
uncorrected	maldigestion	can	lead	to	extreme	weight	loss	and	greater
susceptibility	to	opportunistic	infections,	commonly	experienced	in	people	with
AIDS.
Vaccinations
Popular	opinion	regards	vaccinations	as	one	of	modern	medicine’s	greatest
achievements,	preventing	more	suffering	and	saving	more	lives	than	any	other
medical	procedure.	Nothing	could	be	further	from	the	truth.	Any	risks	or	“sideeffects”	from	vaccinations	supposedly	far	outweigh	the	inherent	benefits.
However,	finding	benefits	is	difficult	and	finding	risks	is	easy.
You	have	a	better	chance	of	being	healthy	if	your	cells	are	healthy;
vaccinations	damage	your	cells.	In	fact,	modern	medicine’s	practice	of	mass
vaccinations	may	be	a	blunder	that	ranks	with	X	rays	and	antibiotics	for	damage
done	to	health.	No	reliable	safety	study	has	ever	been	performed	on	any	vaccine,
and	evidence	suggests	that	they	are	both	ineffective	and	harmful.	Yet,
individuals	are	forced,	without	consent,	to	risk	injury	or	even	death.
In	October	2000,	at	the	annual	meeting	of	the	Association	of	American
Physicians	and	Surgeons	(AAPS),	a	resolution	called	for	an	end	to	all
government-mandated	vaccinations.	Even	more	astounding,	the	resolution
passed	without	a	single	dissenting	vote.	Jane	Orient,	M.D.,	executive	director	of
the	AAPS,	said,	“Our	children	face	the	possibility	of	death	or	serious	long-term
adverse	effects	from	mandated	vaccines	that	aren’t	necessary	or	that	have
limited	benefits.”	The	AAPS’s	resolution	read	that	“mass	vaccination	is
equivalent	to	human	experimentation	and	subject	to	the	Nuremberg	Code,	which
re-quires	voluntary	informed	consent.”	By	failing	to	inform	us	of	the	dangers,
and	taking	away	our	power	to	choose	otherwise,	mandated	vaccinations	become
a	crime	against	humanity.
The	dramatic	decline	of	infectious	diseases,	such	as	smallpox,	diphtheria	and
polio,	often	is	cited	(inaccurately)	as	proof	of	vaccinations’	effectiveness.	The
incidence	of	infectious	disease	dramatically	decreased
before
the	introduction	of
vaccines;	in	other	words,	vaccines	get	credit	for	something	they	did	not	do.	In
1950,	the	polio	epidemic	was	at	its	height	in	Great	Britain.	By	the	time	polio
vaccine	was	introduced	in	1956,	polio	had	already	declined	by	82	percent.
Similarly,	tuberculosis	was	a	persistent	killer	throughout	the	1800s	and	by	1945
had	already	declined	by	97	percent.	Other	infectious	diseases	that	already	were
in	decline	before	the	introduction	of	their	vaccines	include	pneumonia,
influenza,	whooping	cough	and	measles.	Continuing	decline	merely	followed	the
existing	trend.
Countries	that	did	not	vaccinate	against	specific	diseases
experienced	similar	declines	as	countries	that	did.
A	strong	argument	for	the	decline	of	infectious	diseases	can	be	made	for	a
variety	of	factors,	including	better	sanitation,	less	crowded	living	conditions	and
the	absence	of	hunger.	In	addition,	diseases	tend	to	have	their	own	evolutionary
cycles;	they	go	away	as	the	population	gains	“herd”	immunity.	Diseases	like
bubonic	plague	and	scarlet	fever	experienced	declines	similar	to	other	infectious
diseases;	they	disappeared	without	any	immunization	programs.
Finding	any	studies	that	prove	vaccines’	effectiveness	is	difficult.	To	proveefficacy,	we	must	analyze	studies	of	vaccinated	groups	versus	unvaccinated
ones.	Very	few	of	such	studies	ever	have	been	conducted;	the	few	that	have	been
indicate	that	the	vaccines	are	ineffective.	Recent	worldwide	outbreaks	of	virulent
forms	of	TB	have	demonstrated	that	alleged	“protection”	by	TB	vaccine	has
little	to	do	with	whether	or	not	anyone	contracts	the	disease.
Not	only	ineffective,	vaccines	can	also	be	harmful.	Viera	Scheibner,	Ph.D.,	a
world	authority	on	immunizations	and	author	of	the	1993	book
Vaccination,
wrote:	“Immunizations	.	.	.	not	only	did	not	prevent	any	infectious	diseases,	they
caused	more	suffering	and	more	deaths	than	any	other	human	activity	in	the
entire	history	of	medical	intervention.”	Having	assembled	and	researched	the
world’s	largest	collection	of	data	on	immunizations,	Dr.	Scheibner	concludes
that	“there	is	no	evidence	whatsoever	that	vaccines	of	any	kind—	but	especially
those	against	childhood	diseases—are	effective	in	preventing	the	infectious
diseases	they	are	supposed	to	prevent.	.	.	.	One	hundred	years	of	orthodox
research	shows	that	vaccines	represent	a	medical	assault	on	the	immune	system.”
Each	generation	is	subjected	to	more	vaccinations	and,	as	a	result,	is
experiencing	more	immune	dysfunction	diseases.	Many	children	have	as	many
as	twenty-two	vaccinations	before	they	go	to	the	first	grade,	and	as	more
vaccines	become	available,	the	number	keeps	increasing.	At	an	international
conference	in	1997,	Terry	Phillips

system, and you’ll have a heart attack. And which is completely not true. And I
can prove it to you. And the other thing where people get it. say you ask most
doctors, “should I drink distilled water?” They go, “No, no, no, no. It’ll leech
minerals from the body.” This is an on purpose half-truth. The whole truth is that
it will only leach the dead inorganic minerals that are bad for you. And where do
the doctors largely get that on purpose half-truth from, along with that other
article, is from the W.H.O. -the World Health Organization- the supposed pinnacle
of collected science health knowledge. They have an article, I think it might’ve
come out in the 70s, I’m not quite sure, but it’s titled, “De-Mineralized Water”.
And in that article you’ll find a line akin to, “do not drink distilled water, because
it’ll leech minerals from the body.” And a few sentences later it says something
else like, “and by the way, you should add fluoride to your water”. If you believe
them then, by all means, stay away from distilled water.
And the calcified pineal gland… fluoride & chlorine are both in-organic minerals.
And so that’s an in-organic mineral deposit in that X-ray of your head. And
distilled water will, over time, dissolve that. And your pineal gland is supposed to
be a functioning, juicy little gland – not a white rock. So it will free that up, and
then you will gain access to all the almost-mythical properties associated with
the pineal gland.
This is also why I suggest mostly raw fruit diet. When you apply heat, you flip the
electrical charge. That’s the whole purpose of the raw food movement, is to stop
people from turning their organic-mineral-based food into inorganic-mineral-based food. And so, it rots like garbage inside you, and smells permeate – your
urine comes out disgusting.  Now the beauty of this is you can change that really
quickly if you switch to live food. That’s probably the highest diet. The diet in the
Garden of Eden, or Paradise, is fruit & rainwater. Or, fruit & distilled water. And
your urine is the highest distilled water source possible… anywhere. It even
blows away rainwater.
We all drank our urine for 9 months straight, in the womb. Amniotic fluid is urine.
For the first 3 months it’s mainly your mums pee. And for the remaining 6
months it’s mainly yours. There’s no umbilical cord attached to your genitals.
The umbilical cord is attached to your intestines. And that should be another
proof to people that urine is not a waste product, waste goes through your
intestines. That’s what that excretory channel is for. If urine were a waste
product, how is it possible that from day one, just about, the human foetus, the
zygote, the embryo, is floating in urine? Urine is actually the ultimate, perfect,
water, liquid. It’s what we grow in. And we would not have grown without it. And
when you’re in the womb, if you remember, you breathe like a fish. You actually
are continually sucking your own urine down your mouth. And that is more proof
that it’s not a waste product.
When babies come out, they smell sweet, and they have beautiful, fluffy, plumpy
skin because they’ve been floating in urine. When it comes to the super-model,
and that’s one of their biggest secrets, is that they put urine on their face at
night. They let it air-dry. And they go to bed and they leave it on all night. The
urea in urine allows each individual skin cell to hold its maximum  amount of
water. And so it creates beautiful, plump skin. And urine will erase wrinkles.
Wrinkles are just lines of decrepit skin cells that are hardly holding any water.
And so they all contract and become all, crippled. But you start giving them
urine, which has got urea in it, and that enables them to hold their maximum
amount of water at the same time that you’re offering them the most awesome
water in the universe. And so they quickly fill up with this beautiful water and
wrinkles disappear. Literally. I don’t care if you’re 50, 60, 70, 80 years old.
The orobourus that is the symbol of the snake eating its tail. Well, that’s exactly
what the baby is. And we’ve all been the orobourus for nine months straight. And
that’s what you become again when you start practising urine therapy, and start
looping your urine. You are the snake eating its tail. You are consuming yourself.
And it is the ultimate power cycle. It becomes easy to eat only once per day or
even less. Try going omad and not orin looping and it’s very difficult. And that is
how the baby grows, by consuming itself, and it’s the water that does it. The…
what that symbol of, the snake eating its tail, is… it is showing you that the
human body is a perpetual motion machine. Or has the ability to be it.
Most people think they should be 70% water when it should be 80-85%. You
should be or are 80-85% water… well water is largely 2/3 oxygen.  I know it’s
H2O, but the hydrogen molecule is very small. The oxygen molecule is huge. You
are actually… the number-one element that you are, is oxygen. And so when you
drink that glass of urine, it’s a huge body of oxygen, plus hydrogen, and those are both fuels. And so you can probably pretty easily, with even common logic,
understand that the action of lifting the cup to the mouth requires less energy
than the amount of energy that is in that cup. And so right then and there in just
one movement, you have absorbed more energy than you’ve spent, in one
action. And, speaking of that cup, this also debunks the whole search for the
Holy Grail. Nobody needs to search for that thing anymore because they’re
everywhere. There’s no such thing as The Holy Grail. The properties and why
everyone wanted to search… Monty Python was looking for the Holy Grail… the
properties associated from drinking from the Holy Grail are long life and full
health. Well, those are exactly the benefits of drinking urine. And the joke about
the search for the lost Holy Grail is that it’s not the cup that’s important. It’s
what’s in the cup. And so any drinking vessel can become a Holy Grail. It’s what
you use to complete the circuit with.
When you start drinking urine, which is distilled water, and it melts in-organic
mineral deposits, and it melts that stone in the middle of your head, and… when
your pineal gland opens up fully, the grey dot in the auric field disappears, and
you start to glow. People will notice you are looking so radiant and healthy.
Chapter 4
The current international consensus is that a caloric deficit (weight gain =
calories in – calories out no matter what time of the day) is required to achieve
weight loss, and that this is achieved by eating less calories each meal several
times a day and exercising more. But when looking at the scientific literature, it
is clear that this approach is not very well evidenced at all. Studies show that
80% of people going on a calories restriction diet managing a 10% reduction in
weight will regain this weight within a year.
This effectively means that the vast majority of fad diets and calorie restriction
or ‘eat less with each meal, exercise more’ strategies are doomed to fail. So why
does the current model not work? The main reason for the failure of calorie
restriction is that the body, as a survival mechanism, lowers its basal metabolic
rate (BMR) when calorie intake is reduced. Therefore, when the body is taking in
fewer calories, it’s also burning less too. This leads to reduced energy levels,
increased hunger (which involves changes to satiety hormones) and trouble
staying warm. The worst part of this is, when the BMR falls enough to match
caloric intake, weight loss stalls or even reverses.
We have actually known this for around a century, with the findings being
reiterated fairly often since. In addition, exercise has also proven an ineffective
tool in preventing and reversing weight gain in the long term. The potential
reasons for this are increased hunger following exercise and compensation for
increased exercise with longer periods of rest. Thus, neither manipulation of
calorie intake, nor the amount of exercise, is managing to achieve weight loss.
The key to losing weight is breaking into the body’s fat stores for energy, and the
main hormone that controls this is insulin. Eating food, or consuming drinks, throughout the day maintains raised levels of
insulin, even if the overall calorie intake is reduced. This instructs the body to
switch off lipolysis (fat burning)


 mind be better than
gathering hard facts about the brain?
Because data only has meaning given a certain way of
seeing it. This point was made in the one book almost every
college stude nt reads (if they read any) in the philosophy of
science, Thomas S. Kuhn’s The Structure of Scien tiﬁc
Revolutions,  published in 1962. Kuhn shattered the notio n
of objective progress in science by arguing that given their
starting assumptions, every scientiﬁc scheme for explainingNature—what he called a paradigm—is right on its own
terms.
This groundb reaking insight went back to 1947, when
Kuhn, then a graduate student at Harvard, was wrestling
with how wrong Aristotle had been. Aristotelian physics
was the ﬁrst systema tic explanation of Nature in
mechanical terms, the cornerstone of Western science that
made Copernicus, Newton, and Einstein possible. And yet a
brilliant mind like Aristo tle’s arrived at complete ly wrong
conclusions about such basic things as why objec ts fall to
earth or what heat is. Suddenly Kuhn had an epiphany:
What we call Aristotle’s mistakes in fact weren’t mistakes
at all. If you accept the starting assumptions behind
Aristotelian physics, its description of Nature was valid.
Kuhn seemed  to be saying that Aristotle was just as right
as Newton, which to most people, including probably every
physicist, makes no sense. In our time, the accepta nce of
scientiﬁc progress is all but universal, and the triumphs of
modern technology are undeniable. Yet no one has rebutted
Kuhn’s point that we view Nature through our own
paradigm, our worldview. The history of science is a
constant stream of shifting paradigms, one after another.
There is no way to step outside the paradigm you totally
believe in.
But what if the current paradigm happens to be
absolutely right? A Theory of Everything has been on the
horizon for decades, and we are told that it’s only a matter
of time before the theory  is complete. Kuhn’s point is that
an absolutely correct theory, no matter how much data you
feed into it, cannot be achieved. All you can achieve is the
fulﬁllment of the paradigm you believe in. Eventually
problems will arise that cannot be solved without
shattering the present paradigm so that a new one can be
formed.To a doctor, spontaneous remission from cancer  posed
just such a problem. As long as your medical paradigm
separated mind and body, no way existed for consciousness
(including beliefs, expec tations, fears, wishes, faith, and
hope) to inﬂuence the daily life of cells. Looking beyond
medicine, we have to consider consciousness as a whole. If
the mind can inﬂuence the body, what do we mean by
mind? If brain = mind, the answer to all ills should be a
host of super-pills that alter brain function, steering it in
the direction we want it to go. In eﬀect, this is where
neuroscience thinks it’s heading, because the old paradigm
says so. There is literally no room for consciousness being
the agent of change.
In the years since Quantum Healing  was ﬁrst published,
my own thinking has become more sophisticated about the
so-called hard problem of connecting mind and brain.
Anyone who ﬂatly says that brain = mind is turning their
backs on what the philosophy of science teaches.
1.Theories are right about what they include and wrong
about what they exclude.
2.No model of reality is big enough to explain reality.
3.Data has no meaning unless it is interpreted, and
interpretations are bound by the observer’s starting
assumptions.
In a word, everyone has a story, and everyone believes
their story. Even contradictory stories can be valid and ﬁt
the same data. This startling conclusion applies to everyday
life all the time. Competing stories are told in divorce court
when marriages break apart, in criminal court when
prosecution and defense do battle, and in the corridors of
medicine when two doctors have diﬀerent concepts of
healing. Sticking to your story convinces you that you’retelling the truth when in fact you are just defending a way
of seeing.
—
The story told by neuroscience, that brain = mind, is
particularly weak. There is absolutely no data to indicate
that neurons  can think; they merely light up on an fMRI as
thinking occurs, which isn’t the same thing. You could
construct a setup so that a 100-watt bulb lights up over
your head every time you have a bright idea, but that
doesn’t mean  the light bulb caused  the idea. Neuroscience
ignores this obvious ﬂaw when it arrives at the same false
conclusion, using neurons instead of a lightbulb.
The current state of total conﬁdence in neuroscience
requires thick blinders. Brain scientists don’t see the dead
end they are walking toward when they promise that
neurons are going to explain where thoughts come from.
Not just thoughts, but no color, shape, sound, taste, and
smell will ever be locate d in neurons, and what isn’t in a
neuron isn’t in the brain, either.
It would be pointless to tear down the old paradigm
without having somethin g better to oﬀer. In that regard,
Quantum Healing  pointed in the right direction. All the
things the brain is credited with actually should be
assigned to the mind. Once this shift is made,  enormous
untapped potential becomes available. Neuroscience will
continue to do valuable things, in particular ﬁxing the
abnormalities and disorders of the brain connected to a
wide range of diseases. You can’t play Mozart on a broken
piano. Yet the mystery of Mozart’s genius, like all mysteries
of the mind,  must be solved on a diﬀerent plane, beyond
the physical.
OceanofPDF.comRecently a young woman in her late twenties, a part-time
model, came  to my oﬀice  in Boston. After years of hiding
the fact that she had an eating disorder, her family had
ﬁnally persua ded her to seek treatment. Since adolescence
she had been obsessed with her ﬁgure, and over time this
concern had become more and more abnormal until it
blossomed into a double sickness, anorexia nervosa and
bulimia.
Looking at this attractive, bright woman, who to all
appearances was normal, I was not lulled into thinking that
her problem was easy. Despite extensive resea rch and
publicity in recent years, both anorexia and bulimia remain
highly puzzling. Why should young wome n, many of them
well educated and from high-income backgrounds, nurture
an uncontro llable obsession with diet and weight?
Anorexics develop a fear of food and a horror at the act of
eating. Conﬁned to a rigidly ritualized pattern of behavio r
that leads them to voluntary starvation, they will deny that
they are too thin, even to the point of death.The companion disease, bulimia, can be separate from
anorexia or can coexist with it, as in this woman’s case. In
bulimia, the horror of food takes a weird turn in the form of
bingeing. The secret food binges that a bulimic goes on are
often enorm ous—anywhere from 2,000 to 50,000  calories
at a sitting (2,000 calor ies is enough food to sustain a
vigorous 150-pound perso n for a day). This huge amount of
food is then vomited back up, causing tremendous stress on
the digestive system and the body as a whole.
This particul ar woman’s  disorder had advanced to the
point where she was vomiting every day in order to
maintain the normal but still low weight needed  for her
work. The very sight of a dessert, she told me, caused her
to break out in a cold sweat and sent her heart racing. She
was extremely intelligent and listened closely when I said
that at the root of her disorder was a mistake in her self-
image. Because our society is obsessed with the ideal of
thinness, many women try to live up to an inner image of
their bodies that is simply not right for their physical
makeup. In her case, however, the image was not saying, “I
have to be thin.” It was saying, “I can never be thin
enough.”
To explain this paradoxical illness, one has to drop the
distinction between mind and body and think of one
system, the “bodymind.” This is because an eating disorder
is a holistic disease, the cruel opposite of holistic health. In
anorexics, the distorted idea, “I must be thinner,” takes
over the bodymind like a malevolent and elusive phantom.
Even after long hospitalization and exhaustive psychiatric
treatment, the patient rarely eats like a normal person. A
normal person would have to struggle to starve himself—
once the body went past a certain point of deprivation, its
hunger signa ls would take precedence over everyt hing else
in the bodymind, until the desire for food became
overpowering. For someone with an

 h ealthy and
energized. You may find you feel very tranquil after performing this
exercise.
Practice the Ear Exe rcis e in the morning after working on the nose. Then
you may perform it as often as you like during the day. Those who suffer
from ear problems may want to practice this exercise many times during the
day until the condition improves.
I. Place the index fing ers of each hand on the outside of the ears and
fold over the outside flaps of skin which lie next to the ope ning of the
inner ear canal, so that you seal off the ear from the outside.
2. Using the tips of your second finge rs, tap gently on the fmgemails
of your index fingers. When done properly, you will hear a metal lic
sound much like the beating of a drum. Tap a regular rhythm, slowly,
twelve to thirty-six times.
Figure 58. Ear Exer cise (Beating the Heave nly Drum).
129 The Internal Exe rcises
3. Pause. Then repeat for a total of three times.
NOTE A: When you first close off your ears, before you begin
tapping, you will hear a sound much like that made by a waterfall.
The ear is still working. After following this exercise for a few days,
the sound of the waterfall will cease and will be replaced by a calm
silence.
MOUTH EXERC ISES
In addition to the other areas of the face, we need to stimulate as well the
mouth, teeth and gums to keep them healthy and strong. We continually
use our mouths for talking, eating, and kissing. So in order to keep this area
strong and prevent tooth decay and gum problems like gingivit is, the
Mouth Exercises should be practiced.
The Tongue and Saliva Exercise
The tongue is recognized as the opening to the heart. Feelings of hate,
love, sympat hy, and an ger reside in the heart and are stimulated by the
tongue. When the tongue is used in kissing, passion rises from the heart.
Saliva, or ''Heavenly Water'', is sacred to the Taoists and is treated with
respect for the power it holds as a natural healing water. It helps to kill
germs in the mouth and may be used as a form of medicine. It may also be
used to treat infections. If you cut yourself and there are no other healing
aids avai lable, put the cut in your mouth or spread some of your saliva over
it. The saliva will help clean it out and destroy germs that might otherwise
lead to infection. Interestingly, it is now known that saliva triggers the
production of a particular hormone within the structure of the teeth which
helps to prevent tooth decay. Further, saliva is a very important aid in
digestion, and along with the teeth. forms the first step in breaking down
foodstuffs before they reach the stomach. So saliva that is evenly distrib
uted between food particles will increase the digestive system's capacity to
absorb nutrients. (You can benefit from this property by chewing your food
until it is in liquid form.) Because saliva is so valuable to human existence,
the glands that produce it must be protected.
To keep the heart healthy and insure the continuing strength of the
130 Th� lnt�rnal Ex�rcises
salivary glands into old age, Taoists devised the Tongue and Saliva
Exercise. The literal English translation of this exercise is: "The Red
Dragon dances over the ocean to make the wind, rain and clouds.'' (The
Red Dragon is the tongue and the ocean is the saliva.) This one sentence
captures the exercise's ability to wash out and clean the mouth and teeth
and stimulate the heart.
This exercise may be done after meals, upon waking to remove bad
breath, and at other appropri ate times.
I. Roll your tongue around the inside of your mouth and across your
gums and teeth. Use your tongue as you would a toothbru sh.
2. As you roll your tongue around your mouth, saliva will be secreted
by the salivary glands. Do not swallow it, but allow it to collect until
you have a mouthful of saliva.
3. Swish the saliva around as if you were using a mouthwash. Wash
the entire inside of your mouth including the gums and in between the
teeth.
4. Divide the saliva into three equal parts and swallow each part
separate ly and slowly until your mouth is clear. As you swallow it,
feel it descend to your stomach. You may begin to feel the energy
which the "Heavenly Water" brings to your stomach.
Gum Press ure Exercise
There are also points at the top and bottom of the lips which may be
pressed to stimulate the meridians that supply energy to the mouth, teeth
and gums. This exercise may be done in the mornings, after meals, or
whenever appropriate.
I. Press the points designa ted in figure 59. Press with a fmn and
steady pressure and follow with a rubbing movement to energize this
area. Repeat three times.
Figure 59. Gum Pressure Exercise.
131 The Internal Exercises
Teeth Clicking Exercise
The teeth are vital parts of the digestive system. They break up food and
distribute saliva throughout the food particles. One needs to protect the
teeth from decaying, because if one cannot chew properly, one will not be
able to digest food properly. The resultant decreased capacity to absorb the
nutritive elements from food develops into a generally weakened internal
system. To protect the teeth, one needs to do the Teeth Clicking Exercise.
Also, the body tends to loosen up and become wlnerable to outside
germs during sexual intercou rse, orgasm, and while moving the bowels.
Teeth clicking or teeth clenching during these moments helps protect the
body and keep up one's natural defenses.
A sign of old age is often loose teeth as well as loose joints. Clicking the
teeth, as well as clenching the teeth during the day, will help tighten the
joints of the body and keep the teeth healthy.
When practiced in the morning, this exer cise will help awaken you.
When practiced during the day, it will help to keep your mind alert.
I. Click the teeth together thirty-six times. This strengthens the teeth
and gums.

FACE RUBBI NG EXERC ISE
After all the exercises which energize the individual parts of the face
have been prac ticed, you need to stimulate the skin and facial muscles:
I. Rub your hands together vigorously.
132 Th� lnt�rnal Ex�rcis�s
2. Press your palms against your face so that you feel the warmth in
your hands enter the skin and penetrate into the muscles. Feel the
energy being absorbed by the cells throughout your face.
3. Rub your hands in outward circular motions around your face.
Work your fingers and hands up through the bridge of your nose,
through your third eye, and out across your forehead, continuing
down your temples and cheeks and across your chin and mouth, then
crossing back up along your nose. Continue rubbing for as long as you
wish.
NOTE: You may want to stop occasionally to rub your hands together
to bring more heat and energy into your face. Practice this exercise
whenever your facial muscles become tired. This will help to reduce
the formation of wrinkles and bring a glow to your complexion.
THYROID EXERC ISE
The thyroid gland controls our bodies' metabolism. By massaging the
thyroid area, energy w ill be sent into the thyroid to help it function more
normally. Thus metabolism will be helped, enabling the body to eliminate
more poisons and toxins. Digestion and absorption of nutrients will also
improve. And thyroid medicine or iodine-both dangerous to take -will
become unnecessary.

TECHNIQUES FOR RELffiVING PAIN
This simple exercise helps rel ieve upper back, shoulder or neck pain and
may be practiced whenev er discomfort is felt in the upper spine. Using this
exercise can eliminate the need for aspirin.
I. Assume the sitting position.
2. If pain is felt in the upper right quadrant of the back, allow your
right arm to lie motion less on your thighs. If the pain is on the left, do
the same with your left arm.
3. Extend your left arm out in front of your chest with the fingers
pointed.
4. Fix your eyes on the fingers of your left hand and slowly begin to
move your left hand up and out to your left side. Keep your breathing
normal, and raise your arm as high as possible.
Figure 62. Pain Relief Exercise.
134 The Internal Exercises
5. Slowly lift your arm to its original position.
6. Repeat the movement for a total of 7 times.
NOTE: This exercise helps to lure the attention away from pain in the
upper trunk and bring healing ener gy into the sor e area. Throughout
the exercise, keep your attention focused on the hand that is being
raised. If your mind wanders, bring it back to your hand. You may
wish to synchronize your breathing with the hand raising. In that case
inhale as the ann moves upward and exhale as you bring the
