). Pepsin is
acidic in nature and is designed primarily for initial protein breakdown.
The stomach chyme, enriched with proenzymes (although some aredormant from the acid action of HCL), is dropped from the stomach into the
duodenum (the first part of the small bowel), and alkaline digestive enzymes
(such as amylase, lipase, protease, and cellulose) are then released from the
pancreas. Amylase breaks down starch, lipase works on fat, protease handles
protein, and cellulose digestive enzymes attend to cellulose. The pancreas also
produces trypsin and chymotrypsin as well as peptidase, which are a part of
the protease family. These are alkaline enzymes that finish protein digestion
or break down peptides and polypeptides into amino acids.
It is essential for the pancreas to produce sodium bicarbonate
(bicarbonate ions) and for the liver/gallbladder to produce bile, as both of
these substances alkalize and sanitize the predigested food particles from the
stomach. If the tissues of these organs are congested, weak, or impaired in
such a way that these alkalizing principles are restricted or blocked from entry
to the small bowel, the duodenum stays overly acidic, and inflammation and
ulceration of the duodenum are the result. An over-acidic environment also
destroys or neutralizes the alkaline digestive enzymes of the pancreas,
virtually stopping proper digestion. This leads to starvation at the cellular
level as other enzymes and parasites become involved, because fermentation
and putrefaction now takes over the digestive process.
Studies undertaken at Yale University and other research facilities have
shown that enzymes, including digestive enzymes, are produced by many
cells in the body (not just the saliva, stomach and pancreas). It has been
demonstrated, for example, that white blood cells can supply amylase as well
as proteolytic-type enzymes. What an incredibly intelligent machine your
body is! I say “machine” with all due respect to the fact that each and every
cell is an individual part of God, with its own individuality and
consciousness.
We have been talking about endogenous enzymes, those produced in the
body. However, we also must consider a second category of enzymes
essential to life—the exogenous enzymes that are external to the body, and
found in foods. Exogenous enzymes play a vital role in assisting the body in
breaking down these foods into use-able building materials.
Food enzymes are vital to the health of the physical body. Without them
health begins to decline. Man still does not understand why these food
enzymes are so important when we have our own digestive enzymes. But the
body must have
the support of these food enzymes for the process of
digestion and utilization to properly take place.Enzymes are destroyed when subjected to temperatures starting from
110–130 degrees Fahrenheit and above. Lower temperatures can also destroy
enzymes if the food is cooked for long periods of time. When we cook our
foods, we are destroying the life-giving properties within them, including the
enzymes. Remember: no other animal on this planet cooks its food before
eating it. If we feed animals cooked foods they become sick and die, and
veterinarians will tell you to never feed your animals from the table because
they will get the same diseases we do.
SUPPLEMENTING WITH DIGESTIVE ENZYMES?

The sale of digestive enzyme supplements is big business these days, and
there are companies that support their use by advocating live blood-cell
analysis and other diagnostic tools. We all have digestive weaknesses to some
extent, and especially if the pancreas is weak. If you are thin and can’t put on
weight; or you have diabetes or hypoglycemia; or you see undigested foods
in your stools (except corn); then you should consult with your healthcare
practitioner about regenerating your pancreas.
Relying on supplemented digestive enzymes on a regular basis can
eventually shut down your pancreas. Nonetheless, in some extreme or
chronic conditions, it may be advisable to take digestive enzymes with every
other meal or every third or fourth meal. Only take them for short periods of
time, until you can restore normal pancreatic and intestinal function.
Definitely stop taking them when you eat raw, uncooked foods. Wean
yourself from them until you are only using them with cooked, hard-to-digest
foods. Then stop entirely. If you are eating all cooked, acidic foods, you may
need to add
occasional
 digestive enzymes, since cooking your food destroys
its enzymes and puts the total burden of digestion upon your body.
Consuming your foods
juiced
 and/or eating them
raw
 will help tremendously
in revitalizing your pancreas and yourself.
It is beyond the scope of this book to explore further on the subject of
enzymes as biocatalysts. However, it is enough to reiterate that life begets life
and death begets death. Without enzymes we have death.
Enjoy the natural flavors of fresh, whole, ripe and raw foods. God has
given us a smorgasbord of foods and the ability to obtain them. Seek out
organic, fresh and raw, enzyme-rich foods, as enzymes are the keys to life.
No
matter from which angle we view health and disease, we cannot
escape from being entangled in the conclusion that intractable disease is
as old as cookery. Disease and cookery originated simultaneously.

MODULE 3.5
Vitamins (Co-Enzymes)

From the beginning, humans ate primarily whole foods or so-called “natural”
foods, which underwent no processing. The nutrient content of food is
decreased when it is processed. Intensive animal rearing, manipulation of
crop production, and food processing have altered the qualitative and
quantitative balance of nutrients of foods consumed by the Western world.
This change is possibly one of the reasons that chronic, debilitating diseases
are rampant in our modern culture. Modern research suggests that simply
taking a synthetic multi-vitamin/mineral formula does not change this.
Research from around the globe asserts that vitamins in their naturally-
balanced state are essential for better assimilation, synergistic action, and
maximum biological effect. And yet most consumers buy vitamins and
minerals that are synthetic, which their bodies usually can’t assimilate
properly. The U.S. National Academy of Science, Food and Nutrition Board,
recommends that people meet their daily nutritional needs through a varied
diet rather than through vitamin and mineral supplementation. Vitamin and
mineral supplements—even those with 100% of the Recommended Dietary
Allowances (RDAs) for vitamins and minerals—cannot provide all the other
nutrients that the body gets from a well-balanced diet.
About Vitamins

Too much vitamin supplementation causes acidosis.
Vitamin C is acidic, leaches out calcium, and lowers beneficial
cholesterol.Do not megadose anything, especially oil soluble vitamins.
Supplementation of separated constituents can lead to imbalances in your
body’s chemistry.
Artificial vitamins accumulate in your tissues causing obstructions and
toxicity.

  of all Life  stands
at your  Open  Doorway ? Can  it be possible,  mankind  will
not see,  before  the people  stands  the Open  Door  into  the
Octaves  of Light!—the  Jewelled  Door  of Achievement—of
Eternal  Victory ? Is it possible  that  mankind  and  the Stu-
dent  Body  will  not see? Just  because  of little  human  differ-
ences,  should  Individuals  allow  sufficient  discord  to drive
in, and  turn  them  away  from  the Light;  or delay  their  Vic-
tory which  could  be quickly  achieved ?
Beloved  Ones,  the Opportunity  of Eternity  is here!  You
alone  must  choose,  and  value  all the promptings  We  give;
and that  is a thing  which  heretofore  has  been  absolutely
forbidden.  In the requirements  of the Earth  at this  time, DISCOURSE  XXIII  415
these  things  are being  permitted,  which  have  never  been
done  in the history  of the Earth.  You  who  have  failed  so
many  times  before,  now  when  you  stand  absolutely  ready
for the Victory,  will  you  fail again ? Some  have,  but will
you?  You  must  decide!  There  is not one thing  in This  Uni-
verse  which  could  make  you  fail but  yourself—your  own
human  self.
Remember,  there  are two  of you—the  human  and  the
Divine.  The  human  has  been  growing  very  frail  in its
power  of dominion;  and  in your  Calls  to the Light,  the
Light  within  you  has grown  strong  in Its Dominion!  Will
you not  allow  It to continue;  until  all human  qualities
have  entirely  vanished?  Then  in the  Greatest  Raising
Power  of your  Presence  of Life,  the Earth  can  no longer
hold  its dominion  over  you!  In the Glory  of Its Magnificent
Splendor  of Life,  stand  and  again  gaze  upon  the Earth;
looking  down  your  Life  Stream  on all that  has been—see-
ing the years,  the centuries  of wasted  energy.
Such  is the condition  of mankind.  Centuries  of wasted
energy,  and  yet Life  does  not condemn  you!  Life  does  not
say to you:  "You  shall  do thus  and  so"!  It says:  "If you  will
give obedience,  thus  and  so shall  be the result"!  Will  you,
My Beloved  Children,  give  That  Obedience?  Will  man-
kind  awaken  now  at This  Opportunity ? Those  who  refuse
it this  time,  will  be compelled  to wait  a long  time!
When  Individuals  think  in their  intellects,  to cast  aside
the Opportunity  which  Life  has offered  them,  it is quite  a
tragic  thing.  They  feel,  they  are  defying  the  Forces  of 441 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
Light!  What  a pity!  What  a pity!  Life  will  not take  you  by
the shoulder  and  say to you:  "Give  Me your  Obedience"!
Life waits  in Its Infinite  Patience  for mankind,  to willingly
give the Obedience  required  for Freedom!
Beloved  Mankind,  you  must  understand  you  alone  must
determine  to give  obedience  to Life!  In the case  of vicious
Individuals,  their  Free  Will  is now  withdrawn!  That  is
why  you  are seeing  such  great  changes  in your  schools,  and
it will  also  come  in the political  world!  I say to you  ladies
and gentlemen,  watch!  You  will  see the greatest  changes  in
the political  world  you  have  ever  witnessed;  because  its de-
structive  influence  and  power  are gone!  Watch  it and  see!
The gathering  together  of treachery  and  intrigue  to prey
upon  the mass  of mankind,  shall  cease  forever!
Mankind  SHALL  arise  in the  Call  to the Presence  of
Life for Its Dominion  here!  Remember,  many  of you  who
are here,  have  felt such  inability,  such  helplessness  before
the forces  of the appearance  world.  Ladies  and  gentlemen,
arise!  Accept  the Power  of your  Dominion,  in your  Call
to Light  and  be frail  no more!  The  most  delicate  lady  in
her Call  to Life  has  Power  Infinite;  and  you  strong  men,
physically  speaking,  in your  Call  to Light  with  the  EN-
ERGY  which  is there,  can  release  the Power  of Life;  to
clear  the conditions  of the Earth;  and  render  This  Service
which  mankind  needs  in America  today!  Will  you  not
render  It?
Do you  quite  understand  your  Beloved  America  is like
a Good  Mother  holding  you  in Her  loving  embrace ? Do DISCOURSE  XXV  4i7
you understand,  that  is what  your  America  means  to you;
from  Her  Bosom  giving  forth  the glories  of all mankind
needs  for Sustenance,  Health,  Strength,  Energy  and  Power
of achievement!  Oh,  Beloved  Ones,  you  who  live  in the
great  cities,  have  forgotten  the agricultural  world!  Remem-
ber it again  please!  Remember,  without  it you  are lost!
Remember—without  your  producers  of the supplies  of the
world,  you  are lost!  So, protect  your  supply  of every  kind!
Remember—protect  your  transportation  which  has  been
brought  to you  in such  magnificence!  It is at the point  of
Great  Achievement!  Will  you  in the lack  of your  Call  to
Life,  let It be delayed  for another  fifty  years ? You  could
have  magnificent  transportation  within  twelve  years.  It
could  be filling  the  Earth.  You  could  have  breakfast  in
New  York  and  dinner  in Los  Angeles.  Then,  you  could
have  breakfast  in Los  Angeles  and  dinner  in London!
Try to follow  Me for a few  moments  and  understand—
that in the atmosphere  of Earth,  there  are Currents  of Elec-
trical  Energy  of which  the  outer  world  knows  nothing!
In the new  means  of transportation,  there  will  come  some-
thing  of the Knowledge  of these  air currents!  Then,  you
will go into  those  air currents;  and  be carried  with  their

   There are a number of mental and nervous diseases which can be treated successfully
by adequate attention to nutrition. Even the treatment of venereal disease can be
improved and painful conditions like arthritis and neuritis are more successfully treated
if nutrition is made a first consideration. Preference must be given to the NATURAL
SOURCES of the vitamins such as Certified  milk, eggs, whole grains, sea food, liver,
heart, kidney, fresh, raw or frozen vegetables, yeast and butter.
   Surgery becomes a much simpler matter if the patient goes to the table with a body so
well nourished that every mechanism of the body can recuperate with normal efficiency.
   I have treated all cases of stomach and duodenal ulcer since 1928, with the high
vitamin, high mineral diet. If necessary, (alle rgy), tobacco was forbidden for life. In
every uncomplicated case, cure was complete, and the disease never recurred as long as
the patient adhered to the high vitamin, high mineral regime. Clinically this refutes the theory that once a person has peptic ulcer nothing under the sun can prevent them from
recurring. It may be repeated that they can never return to the diet composed of devitalized, devitaminized, demineralized carbohydrates that produced the disease.
   The physician or layman who fails to real ize that vitamin and mi neral deficiencies are
rampant had best look about. Everywhere one turns, people are seen who are missing
the fullness of life that comes with optimum nutrition.
   If they could be made to realize the need  for treating their past dietary errors by the
use of concentrates and placing themselves on a full rich diet, many of the nation's health problems would cease to be problems.
   The average person's diet is much below the optimum. The average grocery and the
average table indicate too much carbohydrate and too much salt, with a relative lack of
calcium, iron, iodine and vitamins. The time has come to do something about it.
   The successful outcome of any war may depend on the question of optimum nutrition.
Any commercial interests who aid and abet and give comfort to the enemy by
hampering the campaign for better nutrition should be dealt with as saboteurs. We must
not aim at minimum requirements in these questions of nutrition but at optimum
requirements. If we do not achieve the optimum some other nation will and they will be the masters, we the slaves.

REVIVING A LOVE STORY
ALL OF US need to believe that we are loved and lovable. We began life with
confidence on both points, bathed in a mother ’s love and swaddled in our
own innocence.  Love was neve r in question, but over time our certainty
clouded. When you look at yourself today, can you still make the two
statements every infant could if it had the words?
I am completely loved.
I am completely lovable.
Few people can, for looking at yourself honestly you see flaws that make
you less than completely lovable and less than perfectly loved. In many
ways this seems right to you, for perfect love is supposedly  not of this
world. Yet in a deeper sense, what you call flaws are really just the scars of
hurts and wounds accumulated over a lifetime. When you look in the
mirror, you think you are looking at yourself realistically, but your mirror
doesn’ t reveal the truth that endures despite all hurt:
You wer e created to be completely loved and completely lovable for your whole life.
In a way it is amazing that you do not realize this, because underneath
everything you think and feel, innocence is still intact. Time cannot blemish
your essence, your portion of spirit. But if you lose sight of this essence,
you will mistake yourself for your experiences, and there is no doubt that
experience can do much to obliterate love. In an often hostile and brutal
world, maintaining innocence seems impossible. Therefore, you find
yourself experiencing only so much love and only so much lovability.
This can change.Although you perceive yourself in limited terms, as a mind and a body
confined in time and space, there is a wealth of spiritual teaching that says
otherwise. In spirit you are unbounded by time and space, untouched by
experience. In spirit you are pure love.
The reason you do not feel completely loved and completely lovable is
that you do not identify with your spiritual nature. Your sense  of love has
lost one thing it cannot afford to do without: its higher dimen sion. What
would it be like to restore this lost part of yourself?
Mind, body, and spirit would unite—this union cr eates the love you have to give.
You and your beloved would unite—this cr eates the love you have to shar e.
In our deepest nature each person is meant to be the hero or heroine of an
eternal love story. The story begins in innocence, with a baby’ s birth into a
mother ’s loving  arms. It procee ds through stages of growth, as the young
child steps out into the world. With more and more experience the circle of
love widens, including first family and friends, then intimate partners, but
also taking in love of abstract things, like learning and truth. The ripening
journey brings us to love of giving, and the blossoming of higher values,
such as compassion, forgivenes s, and altruism. Finally there is the direct
experience of spirit itself, which  is pure love. The journey climaxes in the
same knowledge that a baby began with, although it couldn’ t voice that
knowledge: I am love.
You know that you have fully experienced love when you turn into love—that is the spiritual goal of
life.
Not many people find the spiritual goal of life. The aching need created
by lack of love can only be filled by learning anew to love and be loved. All
of us must discover for ourselves that love is a force as real as gravity, and
that being upheld in love every day, every hour, every minute is not a
fantasy—it is intended as our natural state.
This book is about reviving love stories that should never have faded.
The union of self and spirit is not only possible but inevitable. The spiritual
meaning of love is best measured by what it can do, which is many things.
Love can heal.Love can renew.
Love can make us safe.
Love can inspire us with its power.
Love can bring us closer to God.
Everything


 and energies of your subconscious flow. The practi cal
application of the laws of your mind as illustrated in each ch apter of
this book will cause you to experience abund-ance for poverty,
wisdom for superstition and ignorance, peace for pain, joy for sadness,
light for darkness, harmony for discord, faith and confidence for fe ar,
 19  success for failure, and freedom from the law of averages. Cer tainly,
there can be no more won-derful blessing than these from a menta l,
emotional, and ma-terial standpoint. Most of the great scient ists,
artists, poets, singers, writers, and inventors have a deep
understanding of the workings of the conscious and subconscious
minds.
One time Caruso, the great operatic tenor, was struck with stage
fright. He said his throat was paralyzed due to spasms caus ed by
intense fear, which constricted the muscles of his throat. Per spiration
poured copiously down his face. He was ashamed because in a f ew
minutes he had to go out on the stage, yet he was shaking with fea r
and trepidation. He said, “They will laugh at me. I can’t sing.” T hen
he shouted in the presence of those behind the stage, “The Little  Me
wants to strangle the Big Me within.”
He said to the Little Me, “Get out of here, the Big Me want s to sing
through me.” By the Big Me, he meant the limitless power and
wisdom of his subconscious mind, and he began to shout, “Get out,
get out, the Big Me is going to sing!”
His subconscious mind responded releasing the vital forces withi n
him.
When the call came, he walked out on the stage and sang gloriously
and majestically, enthralling the audience.
It is obvious to you now that Caruso must have understood the two
levels of mind—the conscious or rational, and the sub-conscious or
irrational level. Your subconscious mind is reac-tive and responds  to
the nature of your thoughts. When your conscious mind (the Little
Me) is full of fear, worry, and anxiety, the negative emoti ons
engendered in your subconscious mind (the Big Me) are released a nd
flood the conscious mind with a sense of panic, foreboding, and
despair. When this happens, you can, like Caruso, speak affirma tively
and with a deep sense of authority to the irrational emotions g enerated
in your deeper mind as follows: “Be still, be quiet, I am in c ontrol,
 20  you must obey me, you are subject to my command, you cannot
intrude where you do not belong.”
It is fascinating and intensely interesting to observe how y ou can
speak authoritatively and with conviction to the irra-tional m ovement
of your deeper self bringing silence, harmony, and peace to your
mind. The subconscious is subject to the con-scious mind, and that i s
why it is called subconscious or sub-jective.
• Outstanding differences and modes of operation
You will perceive the main differences by the following il-
lustrations:  The conscious mind is like the navigator or captai n at the
bridge of a ship.
He directs the ship and signals orders to men in the engine room,
who in turn control all the boilers, instruments, gauges, etc. The men
in the engine room do not know where they are going; they follow
orders. They would go on the rocks if the man on the bridge issued
faulty or wrong instructions based on his findings with the compa ss,
sextant, or other instruments. The men in the engine room obey him
be-cause he is in charge and issues orders, which are automa tically
obeyed. Members of the crew do not talk back to the captain;  they
simply carry out orders.
The captain is the master of his ship, and his decrees are ca rried out.
Likewise, your conscious mind is the captain and the master of  your
ship, which represents your body, environ-ment, and all your aff airs.
Your subconscious mind takes the orders you give it based upon wha t
your conscious mind believes and accepts as true.
When you repeatedly say to people, “I can’t afford it,” then your
subconscious mind takes you at your word and sees to it that you w ill
not be in a position to purchase what you want. As long as you persi st
in saying, “I can’t afford that car, that trip to Europe, that  home, that
fur coat or ermine wrap,” you can rest assured that your sub conscious
mind will follow your or-ders, and you will go through life
experiencing the lack of all these things.
 21  Last Christmas Eve a beautiful young university student looke d at
an attractive and rather expensive traveling bag in a store window. S he
was going home to Buffalo, New York, for the holidays. She was
about to say, “I can’t afford that bag,” when she recalled somet hing
she had heard at one of my lec-tures which was, “Never fini sh a
negative statement; reverse it immediately, and wonders wi ll happen
in your life.”
She said, “That bag is mine. It is for sale. I accept it m en-tally, and
my subconscious sees to it that I receive it.”
At eight o’clock Christmas Eve her fiancé presented her wi th a bag
exactly the same as the one she had looked at and mentally identif ied
herself with at ten o’clock the same morning. She had filled her m ind
with the thought of expectancy and released the whole thing to her
deeper mind, which has the “know-how” of accomplishment.
This young girl, a student at the University of Southern Californi a,
said to me, “I didn’t have the money to buy that bag, but now I know
where to find money and all the things I need, and that is in the
treasure house of eternity within me.”
Another simple illustration is this: When you say, “I do not like
mushrooms,” and the occasion subsequently comes that you are
served mushrooms in sauces or salads, you will get indi-gesti on
because your subconscious mind says to you, “The boss (your
conscious mind) does not like mushrooms.” This is an amusing
example of the outstanding differences and modes of operation o f
your conscious and subconscious minds.
A woman may say, “I wake up at three o’clock, if I drink cof fee at
night.” Whenever she drinks coffee, her subconscious mind nudges
her, as if to say, “The boss wants you to stay awake tonight.”
Your subconscious mind works twenty-four hours a day and makes
provisions for your benefit, pouring all the fruit of your habit ual
thinking into your lap.

 22  • How her subconscious responded
A woman wrote me a few months ago as follows: “I am seventy-
five years old, a widow with a grown family. I was liv-ing a lone and
on a pension. I heard your lectures on the powers of the subconscious
mind wherein you said that ideas could be conveyed to the
subconscious mind by repetition, faith, and expectancy.
 “I began to repeat frequently with feeling, ‘I am wanted. I am
happily married to a kind, loving, and spiritual-minded man. I am
secure!’
“I kept on doing this many times a day for about two weeks, and
one day at the corner drugstore, I was introduced to a retired
pharmacist. I found him to be kind, understanding, and very religious.
He was a perfect answer to my prayer. Within a week he  proposed to
me, and now we are on our honeymoon in Europe. I know that the
intelligence within my subconscious mind brought both of us togeth er
in divine order.”
This woman discovered that the treasure house was within her. Her
prayer was felt as true in her heart, and her affirmatio n sank down by
osmosis into her subconscious mind, which is the creative medium.
The moment she succeeded in bringing about a subjective
embodiment, her subconscious mind brought about the answer
through the law of attraction.
Her deeper mind, full of wisdom and intelligence, brought both of
them together in divine order.
Be sure that you think on whatsoever things are true, what-soever
things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever thi ngs are
pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good
report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think  on these
things. PHIL. 4:8.
• Brief summary of ideas worth remembering
1. The treasure house is within you. Look within for the an-swer to
your heart’s desire.
 23  2. The great secret possessed by the great men of all ages  was their
ability to contact and release the powers of their sub consci ous mind.
You can do the same.
3. Your subconscious has the answer to all problems. If you sugge st
to your subconscious prior to sleep, “I want to get up at 6 A.M.,” it
will awaken you at that exact time.

 taken some cascara sagrada at night before bed.  That plus the walk today wasn’t enough for my bowels to start moving on their own, so I did do an enema this afternoon.  There were no worms released, although I still have the annoying twitching in my legs and my ear was popping today too.  I’m trying not to let that get me down.  After all, I did so well to fast for 40 days. There is no more I could have possibly done.  Hopefully just having signiﬁcantly less worms will allow the humaworm to work more effectively and really fumigate those buggers out, once and for all.I changed my toothbrush today just in case there were any parasite eggs on the old brush.Eating!
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!104Tomorrow I hope to go for a longer walk to stretch my muscles even more.  Slowly but surely, I am coming back to life...and I must say it feels pretty good!!Day 43With every day, my strength is coming back and I am feeling more and more ‘normal’ again.  Today I walked the beach for about 40 minutes which was excellent, and then I even walked to Tesco later!  Last week, that would have been an unthinkable expedition.  Today, I almost did it with ease.  It felt so good to move my muscles, and to me, this is very important after a fast.  When you eat, it is essential to then move, so that the body learns to metabolize (i.e. burn) food again.  Otherwise, it will put everything into storage (i.e. fat).  I bought more tomatoes and came home to start making new creations again.  Today I made the green onion salad dressing listed in the Follow-Up Cleansing Section. I modiﬁed the recipe, using only apple cider vinegar and no agave or honey, adding more green onions (5 stalks) and less olive oil (about 4 Tbsp.) and I added 2 Tbsp. ground ﬂax seed instead of ﬂax oil.   The result: a very tangy but delicious and creamy salad dressing! I chopped up fresh tomato, garlic and onion, and mixed in this dressing, which actually almost look liked mustard.  It was so good!This afternoon I did an enema because I am still not having bowel movements on my own, and I was shocked and surprised to see 3 worms!!  I could not believe it! Is the humaworm working?? Or is the follow-up cleansing diet full of garlic, onion and ginger fumigating them out as I had Eating!
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!105hoped?  I really could not believe my eyes. In fact, these worms did not look like the other ones that were released, and then I started to wonder if they were worms or just strange striated pieces of mucoid plaque from the small intestines.  I had never seen such varied striation before, and actually it seemed like the worm was folded up like an accordion.  The 3 ‘entities’ came out ﬁrst on their own well before any new, fresh food waste appeared.  It was very easy to identify them as something different.  Wow. Whatever they are, I am happier with them out than in.It’s important for me to manage my time well still and also my eating schedule.  So far, I have been eating all meals at home, preparing everything myself.  I would like to continue with this as long as possible as it allows me to really eat what I want. Still, I am craving cucumber, garlic and onion more than anything else, and so I listen to my body.  With each day, I am also learning more too!Day 44This journal may still be of interest to many just because of the results that I am still having.  I passed more ‘entities’ today and for sure 1 worm!!  Wow!  My happiness is beyond words.  I ate a very similar diet to yesterday’s - with the home-made dressings and chopped cucumber, celery, tomato, onion and garlic.  Today I added some fresh, raw spinach to the salad.  I let the leaves marinate and become soft before eating them.Again I decided to do an enema this afternoon after no bowel movement, which I am guessing is simply from lack of ﬁber.  And again, the ﬁrst items that were release were these pieces of striation, or worms or Eating!
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!106both, plus 1 worm for sure.  I do think they are all worms, but perhaps a slightly different round worm, or a round worm which is coming from the small intestine.  No matter what, I am so relieved to see that something is working and that, even though I am eating, I am still experiencing positive results!My only regret today is that I became so busy with work that I never had time to go for a walk, and now I feel full and a bit disappointed that I wasn’t able to do something. Tomorrow my plan is to immediately go for a walk upon rising, before I even turn on the computer!  I can really appreciate now how much the walking is helping my digestion.  I also need to be sure to drink enough water. I can feel that I am not drinking enough, and this could be another reason why I haven’t have a bowel movement on my own.  I am still taking probiotcs, humaworm and some cascara sagrada every day to help support the colon after the fast.Day 45This morning I was able to wake up early and be out for a beach walk by 9am. It felt so good to move my body, and to feel the muscles in my legs coming back to life again!  The simplest tasks are now feeling pleasurable once again.  I feel like I have a new appreciation for everything.  If nothing else, certainly a long fast will give you that.This fast was really tough physically, and I really did struggle a lot with weakness, fatigue, dizziness, pain and malaise.  Now that’s it’s over, I can see how focused I had become.  I’m very impressed that I was able to cut myself off from the world and stay motivated to achieve my goal.  The Eating!
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!107timing of everything was just perfect, but when you do something like that, somehow it always seems to happen that way.My anti-parasitic diet seems to be really working.  Today I made the pumpkin seed recipe listed in the Follow-Up Section.  Instead of 2 limes, I added 8 fresh-squeezed limes, and I added about 6 cloves of garlic.  Once ground and mixed, I also added a dash of cumin powder in addition to the cayenne pepper.  The result is what looked like a pate - and a few hours later, I tried it again and it tasted like a delicious seed nut cheese!  Wow, it tasted so good! I am trying to make a new salad dressing every day, letting them sit in the fridge overnight to marinate and become more ﬂavorful.  I feel like I have been eating for weeks!  It’s hard to believe that only 5 days ago, I had simply been living on pure water.My salads today were diced cucumber, celery, onion and garlic.  I split the salad into 3 containers and marinated each one with a different salad dressing that I had left-over.  Later, I marinated some green leaves again and I mixed those into my evening salad.  Everything tasted so delicious!Because I am eating so much freshly squeezed lime and raw apple cider vinegar, my liver seems to be getting a nice gentle cleanse as well. Amazingly enough, every day since eating I have also seen green gallstones being released in my enemas!  This was yet another unbelievable experience for me. Normally, I would always break a fast on fresh fruit so I have never had a chance to experiment with so much lime, Eating!
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!108apple cider vinegar, garlic, ginger and raw onion.  The effects are truly outstanding!I did not see any worms today; however I did see about 4-5 gallstones and about 2-3 pieces of the strange striated mucoid plaque. Today’s plaque was very easy to identify as such, but the plaque deﬁnitely looked quite old and still unlike anything that I’d seen before.Day 46Today is a good day to end the journal and wrap up this amazing experience.  I had my ﬁrst natural bowel movement this morning which felt great!  It was a normal, easy-to-pass bowel movement, most likely having occurred thanks to the greens in the salad I ate yesterday as well as the ground ﬂax seed in the salad dressings.  Somehow it feels right to ﬁnish the journal on this special day!This morning, I walked to the market to buy all fresh foods again for the day.  I found more tomato and cucumber, some purple cabbage and of course more garlic, onion and ginger.  I plan to continue to avoid all fresh fruits for at least 7 more days to give my body a chance to really rid itself of any additional parasites.I happily spent a few hours making salad dressings, salads, marinating the cabbage and blending new creations.  I made a raw pea soup using snap peas, water and green onions.  I then added sliced cherry tomatoes and let that marinate for a few hours before eating.  It was delicious!This afternoon, I felt the desire to do a coffee enema as a way to gently


(When my late husband developed a bedsore in his frail state with his paralysis from his brain tumor, we were never, ever able to heal the bedsore despite a myriad of medications and concoctions from his doctors and hospice nurses. Once skin 44 breakdown from malnutrition occurs, it is very hard if not impossible to stop the process.)  I was ecstatic to see the healing power of mothers’ milk at work once again!    God works in amazing ways!  The day after I received Jackie’s initial email offering her gift of breast milk for Bill’s healing, I received another email from a lactation consultant who is in charge of Sacramento’s WIC Breastfeeding programs.  Amelia had an employee who was making an abundant amount of milk for her baby and had large amounts of excess breastmilk stored in her freezer.  She asked if we would be interested in using some of her donated milk to help heal Bill!  Again, there were tears of joy streaming down Bill’s face from his grateful heart for these dear mothers who wanted to share their healing milk.   As a lactation consultant I had heard about donor breast milk used to treat cancer patients when I attended lactation conferences.  It is known as Human Milk Therapy.  The use of Mother’s Milk to treat conditions such as immune deficiency and cancer is commonly known as Human Milk Therapy.  However, I had never personally known anyone who used breast milk to treat cancer.    Bill received donations of human milk from three other donors, including his niece, Aleia.  Through the generous donations of human milk, we were able to provide Bill with the recommended therapeutic dosage throughout his acute phase of aggressive radiation and chemotherapy.  It was amazing to see the many health benefits for Bill's recovery from cancer.    I truly wonder if Bill would have survived the severity of the aggressiveness of his radiation and chemo if he had not had the life supporting properties of mother’s milk.  I remember one day, Bill was just released from the hospital for his severe nausea, vomiting, malnutrition and dehydration.  His oncologist told us to get Bill immediately to the emergency room if he spiked a fever greater than 100.  Well, his first day home from the hospital, he became really red, hot, feverish, felt really lousy and his temperature was rising to over 100. We had just began using human milk therapy a few days before, so I doubled his dose to 6 ounces via his GT tube and his fever came down within the hour and we did not need to take him to the emergency department.  This was so wonderful!   Bill was in immense pain from the aggressive radiation to his entire throat region.  He was on large doses of pain relievers to  We did not tell his doctors initially about using human milk therapy until Bill’s third hospitalization for hydration and pain control.  For a few weeks, the only nutrition he received was his IV fluids and human milk in his GT tube.  He would throw up 45 everything else up.  At the end of his third hospitalization, the doctors began Bill back on a special formula to boost his calories.  This is when we told his nutritionist about the doses of human milk therapy we were giving to Bill.  She was fine with human milk therapy as long as we were not relying on this for his caloric needs.  We assured her we were primarily using human milk therapy for it’s anti-cancer therapy.  The doctors and nutritionists appeared just fine with this.    Another great benefit we noticed human milk provided for Bill was the protective benefits to the sensitive mucous lining of his mouth and throat that were receiving enormous amounts of daily radiation.  Bill’s oncologist kept expecting large holes and burns in the back of his mouth and throat.  He couldn’t understand why his tissues weren’t full of sores.  We just smiled REALLY big at each of our visits with his radiologist who was so happy with Bill’s progress.    The best news came at Bill’s 3 month PET scan revealing Bill to be cancer free!   This journey through tonsilar and throat cancer has been a very long, hard and painful journey for Bill, however the gifts of mothers’ milk from each of these loving mothers blessed Bill and I beyond words.  Our hearts are very grateful for the wonderful care Bill received from his health care team and the loving donations of life giving milk from these wonderful mothers.    PS Bill is now 3 years cancer free!   [1] Ballentine, Rudolph, Diet and Nutrition: A Holistic Approach, 1978. Pgs. 124-124.

I examined the patient and knowing the case history started auto-urine therapy. The wound of operation was covered with urine bandage. Within a few days she was cured. Now she freely moves about and even travels.”  from Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  CANCER OF WOMB  “Shri Hans relates a case of the cancer of womb. A wife of small factory-owner had a small child and to avoid another pregnancy she had inserted a loop. She had leucorrhoea and so the after-effect of loop was very serious. She had now the cancer of the womb. There was no benefit from doctor’s treatment. So she undertook urine treatment. She drank auto-urine as well as massaged her back and abdomen and a douche of nim-leaves-boiled urine was given in the vagina. It was given twice a day. In 40 days she was completely cured.”  Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  CANDIDA   Ms. I.M., The Netherlands 47 "A year ago, I was constantly fatigued and sick, had little resistance to illness and was susceptible to every flu that went around. I regularly suffered from stomach cramps, neck and shoulder disorders and forgetfulness. My general practitioner could not find anything wrong with me. I went to an orthomolecular doctor, who ran a blood test and discovered that I had fungus in my blood, including candida. The fungal infection interfered with my kidney and liver functions, the gall production was too low and there was too much calcium in my blood. The doctor prescribed an anti-candida diet, nutritional supplements and vitamins. I had heard about urine therapy, and decided to try it instead I fasted on urine and spring water. Four days later, I had my blood tested again. My doctor was dumbfounded, as the fasting cure so clearly improved the quality of my blood. My immune system started to fight the fungus. New blood photos showed that the calcium was no longer present in my blood and that the intestinal flora had improved.       I continued the cure for three weeks and ate bread without yeast. vegetables and fruit and every morning I drank a glass of urine. I kept getting better, had much more energy and needed less sleep. After these three weeks I switched over to the anti-candida diet plus one glass of morning urine per day. I never felt better! Besides the practise of drinking urine, what we eat is also very important, certainly in fighting candida disorders."   The Golden Fountain by Coen van der Kroon  CARTILAGE  Lupita S. Castaneda { Mexico } "I had problems of my cartilage. I am an athlete and I cried to tears when I realized I no longer could run any more.

 that I could move
in consciousness into “the nothingness that is The All...,” or something like  that.
What I was supposed to be trying to do, I thought, was “empty my mind.” I was supposed
to try to sit in one place, close my eyes, and “think of nothing.” This made me crazy, because
my mind never turns off! It is always thinking, thinking, thinking  of something. So I was
never very good at sitting with my legs crossed, closing my eyes, and concentrating on The
Nothing. Frustrated, I hardly ever meditated —and envied those who said they did
(although I secretly wondered whether they really did, or simp ly went through the
motions, doing no better than I was able to do).
Then a master teacher in my life told me that I had entirely the wrong idea of what
meditation was about. Meditation, she said, was not about emptiness, it was about focus.
Instead of trying to sit still and think about nothing, she suggested that I do a “walking
meditation” and move about, stopping to focus  on specific things that my eyes would light
upon.
“Consider a blade of grass,” she would say. “Consider it. Look at i t closely. Regard it
intently. Consider every aspect of it. What does it look like? What are its specific
characteristics? What does it feel like? What is its fragrance? What is its size, compared to
you? Look at it closely. What does it tell you about Lif e?” Then, she said, “Experience the grass in its Completeness. Take off your shoes and socks
and walk on the grass in your bare feet. Think of nothing else but your feet. Focus your
attention on the bottom of your feet and consider immensely exactly what y ou are feeling
there. Tell your mind to feel nothing else, just for that moment. Ignore all other incoming
data except the data coming from the bottom of your feet. Close your eyes, if this helps.
“Walk slowly and deliberately, allowing each slow and gentl e step to tell you about the
grass. Then open your eyes and look at all of the grass around you. Ignore all other
incoming data except the data about the grass, coming from your eyes and feet.
“Now focus on your sense of smell, and see if you can smell the  grass. Ignore all other
incoming data except the data about the grass coming from your nose, your eyes, and your
feet. See if you can focus your attention in this way. If you can, you will experience the grass
as you may never have experienced it before. You will know  more about grass than you
ever knew before, at a deeper level. You will never experience it in the same way again. You
will realize that you have been ignoring the grass  your whole life.”
Then, my master teacher said, do the same thing with a  flower. “Consider it. Look at it
closely. Regard it intently (that is, with intention ). Consider every aspect of it. What does it
look like? What are its specific characteristics? What does it feel like? What is its fragrance?
What is its size, compared t o you? Look at it closely. What does it tell you about Life?”
Then, she said, “Experience the flower in its Completeness. Bring it to your nose and smell
it once more. Think of nothing else but your nose. Focus your attention on your nose and
consider imme nsely exactly what you are experiencing there. Tell your mind to experience
nothing else, just for that moment. Ignore all other incoming data except the data coming
from your nose. Close your eyes, if this helps.
“Now focus on your sense of touch, and tou ch the flower carefully. Touch the flower at
the same time as you smell the flower. Ignore all other incoming data except the data about
the flower coming from your fingertips and your nose. Now, open your eyes and look
closely at the flower. See if you ca n still smell the flower, now that it is far enough away for
you to look at it and touch it. See if you can focus your attention in this way. If you can, you
will experience the flower as you may never have experienced it before. You will know
more about t he flower than you ever knew before, at a deeper level. You will never
experience it in the same way again. You will realize that you have been ignoring the
flowers  your whole life.”
Then, she said, do the same thing with a tree. Walk over to a tree and co nsider it. “Look
at it closely. Regard it intently. Consider every aspect of it. What does it look like? What are
its specific characteristics? What does it feel like? What is its fragrance? What is its size,
compared to you? Look at it closely. What does it tell you about Life?”
And she said, “Experience the tree in its Completeness. Place you hands upon it and feel it
totally. Think of nothing else but your hands. Focus your attention on your hands and
consider immensely exactly what you are experiencing there. Tell your mind to experience
nothing else, just for that moment. Ignore all other incoming data except the data coming
from your hands. Close your eyes, if this helps.
“Now focus on your sense of smell, and smell the tree. Continue touching the tree  at the
same time as you smell the tree. Ignore all other incoming data except the data about the tree coming from your fingertips and your nose. Now, open your eyes and look closely at
the tree. Look up at it, and see if you can climb in consciousness to its top. See if you can
still smell the tree, now that it is far enough away for you to look at it. Keep touching it. See
if you can focus your attention in this way. If you can, you will experience the tree as you
may never have experienced it before. You  will know  more about the tree than you ever
knew before, at a deeper level. You will never experience it in the same way again. You will
realize that you have been ignoring the trees  your whole life.
“Now, step away from the tree and lose all physical con tact with it. See if you can bring
to your mind the experience of the tree as you stand and look at it from farther away.
Experience it completely. Do not be surprised if you can smell the tree, even from a
distance. Do not be surprised if you can, in a se nse, even ‘feel’ the tree from where you are.
What has happened is that you have opened yourself  to the vibration of the tree. You are
‘catching the vibe.’ See how far back you can step from the tree and still retain ‘contact.’
When you lose touch with the  experience of the tree, move closer in, move back to it. See if
this helps you regain contact.
“These exercises,” she said, “will help you develop your ability to focus your attention  on
whatever you want to experience at a heightened level.
“Now, walk. W alk wherever you live. In the country, in the city, it does not matter. Walk
slowly, but deliberately. And look around you. Let your eyes fall where they may. As your
eyes find something, focus the fullness of your attention upon it. It can be anything. A
garbage truck. A stop sign. A crack in the sidewalk, a pebble by the road. Look at it closely,
from right where you are. Regard it intently. Consider every aspect of it. What does it look
like? What are its specific characteristics? What does it feel like,  from where you are? What
is its fragrance? Can you sense that from where you are? What is its size, compared to you?
Look at it closely. What does it tell you about Life?
“Continue your walk. Pick out three things on your walk to consider in this way. Thi s
walk should take you at least a half hour. You cannot consider three things fully in less
time, at first. Later, you will be able to consider something fully in just a moment, in a
nanosecond. But now, you are just practicing.
“This is Walking Meditation, and what you are doing is training your mind to stop
ignoring  everything you are experiencing. You are training your mind to focus  on a
particular aspect of your experience, so that you may experience it completely.”
Practice Walking Meditation in this w ay for three weeks, my master teacher told me, and
“you will never experience life the same way again.” Then, take the final step in Walking
Meditation. Walk outside —or inside, for that matter. You can actually walk anywhere.
From the bedroom to the kitche n will do. There is plenty to see, plenty to touch, plenty to
experience. You can spend three hours with the carpet alone —and this time, she said, “do
not pick out any particular part of what you are seeing or encountering. Try to encounter
all of it. Seek  to embrace all of it. Attempt to focus on all of it at the same time.
“Take in the Big Picture. Close your eyes at first, if this helps. Smell what you are
smelling, hear what you are hearing, feel whatever you are ‘feeling’ of the space around
you. Then open your eyes and add sight. See everything


 patient may eat as
much as desired of fresh raw fruit or fresh fruit juices. Small amounts of dried
unsulfered fruit may also be taken.
Fresh Fruit Salads and Raw Vegetable Salads
The cancer patient may eat, in addition to his fresh raw vegetable and fruit juices,
all the fresh fruit and fresh raw salad he or she can hold. These are good for lunch or
dinner meals. The body needs bulk, as it is necessary to keep the digestive tract in
good working order. For at least the first eight months on Metabolic Medicine's
Cancer Cure Diet, lemon should be used in preference to vinegar on salads.
Unrefined, organic flaxseed oil may be used as salad dressing. Dr. N. W. Walker's
books, Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices  and Diet and Salad Suggestions,  are
recommended reading for every cancer patient.

MINERALS
Trace minerals are absolutely essential for enzyme function. No matter how
skilled we are in the production of mineral supplements, minerals from foods are
better utilized and balanced in unprocessed whole foods. Dr. Kelley daily uses a
multi-grain porridge. Purchase from a health food store organic seeds, one pound of
each grain, seed and/or nut. Mix well in a large container or clean bag. Keep in a
cool (below 80 degrees) or in a refrigerator.

E. For evening meal one should add fresh or frozen berries or fruit.
Options
1). Today I  added 4 tablespoons of frozen pineapple juice concentrate, 1/2 cup of
frozen blackberries, butter and 1/4 cup heavy cream.
2). Yesterday I  added frozen raspberries, frozen grape juice concentrate, butter and
heavy cream.
3). Tomorrow I  w ill add frozen strawberries, frozen orange juice concentrate, butter
and heavy cream.
4). The objective of this procedure is to obtain as many trace minerals from as many
different sources as possible.
F. Sweeten with honey or frozen concentrated fruit juice to taste.
G. Add yogurt if desired.
H. One should alternate daily the berries, fruit and fruit juice concentrate. a wide
variety assures a complete source of trace minerals.
I. The next morning prepare the evening multigrain portage
WARNING: The multi-grain cereal is an all important part of my program. In the past,
I  have provided the organic multi-grain cereal to you but I  can no longer provide this
service. You can however purchase as many organic grains available from your bulk
grain department of your health food store and mix equal parts by weight.
All non-organic grains, are "DUSTED" and stored with anti-mold, anti-fungal and
other deadly shelf-life extenders. One should make every effort to get organic grains.
Dr. Kelley uses Diatomaceous Earth which is excellent for storage. The commonly
used, Thimerosal, is a mercury compound that w ill kill you. It is made by Eli Lilly and

Co, and is used in vaccinations and prescription drugs. Since you are spending your
hard earned money to buy my enzyme formulas, make sure your multi-grains are free
of Enzyme Inhibitors.'Dr. Kelley
Phase IV
Flax Seed Oil
Take two tablespoons per day of unrefined, fresh flaxseed oil for the first month of
Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Program, and one tablespoon per day from the
second month of the program to completion. (Formula F  provides Essential Fatty
Acids — Essential Fatty Acids must be provided in the diet, as the human body
cannot make them.)
Johanna Budwig, a German researcher, did the lion's share of the early work on
flax oil and its therapeutic uses in the early 1950s. Blood samples from healthy and
sick people were systematically analyzed, and the findings tabulated. According to
her, blood samples from people with cancer, diabetes, and some kinds of liver
disease consistently lacked Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). She claims that blood from
people with other diseases did not show this severe deficiency and that healthy
people's blood always contained EFAs. If cancer is a deficiency disease brought on by
lack of EFAs, she reasoned, a diet high in EFAs should alleviate at least some of the
cancer patients' problems.
Unrefined Flaxseed oil, in practice, inhibits tumor growth and is useful in the
natural treatment of cancer. EFAs, from refined oil, on the other hand, help promote
tumor growth (due to trans-fats present in all American commercial vegetable oil). All
oils except unrefined, fresh olive and flaxseed oil are forbidden on Metabolic
Medicine's Cancer Cure Diet.
Note: Fat that has not been heated above 96° F. in the form of unsalted raw butter,
raw eggs, raw cream, the fat in and on raw meats, no-salt-added raw cheeses,
avocados, fresh coconut and stone-pressed olive oil is acceptable on Metabolic
Medicine's Cancer Cure Diet. These fats are the easiest to digest, assimilate, and
utilize and aid the body in binding with toxins and carrying them to the bowels and
out of the body.
Golden Rule of Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Diet
The Golden Rule of Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Diet is: "Take nothing into
77
Winning The Cancer War
the body that has been cooked or processed except items mentioned." Eat no
"Processed" food for the first six months of Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure
Program.
The juicer is the most important appliance in the kitchen of a cancer patient. If
necessary sell the stove and buy a good juicer.
The enzymes in foods that have been cooked have been destroyed or changed into
a different compound (amino acid). Cooked food can only be used as food and not as
enzymes, for it has no life. For example, if you plant a raw potato it w ill grow. If you
boil a potato and plant it, it w ill not grow it will rot. Many enzymes are destroyed at
107° F. and almost all are destroyed at 140° F.
When a person eats anything processed he or she is not only eating "dead food"
(those in which the enzymes have been destroyed), but he or she is adding a second
very destructive force to his body, the destructive force of food preservatives. This
may not be too significant for a normal healthy person, but for the cancer patient it
may mean life or death. The liver must detoxify, destroy, or metabolize all foreign
substances from the body. When one eats foods with preservatives, it adds an extra
burden upon the liver, which the cancer patient cannot accept.
Milk
The cancer patient must give up pasteurized cows' milk forever, except in the form
of raw (unpasteurized), homemade yogurt, and for a while must avoid raw milk too,
except raw (unpasteurized) goats' milk. Cows' milk, like meat, has too high a protein
content and pasteurization compounds the problem as it alters or mutates the protein.
Pasteurized cows' milk requires too many pancreatic enzymes for digestion.
Also, an animal cannot produce milk unless the female sex hormones are present
in extra large quantities; this causes too many hormones in milk for the person who
has cancer.
But if raw goats' milk is available, it is advisable to take 4 to 8 ounces of raw
(unpasteurized), homemade goats' milk (goats' milk is similar to humans' milk) yogurt
each morning for breakfast. This will supply the intestines with adequate helpful
bacteria. This is acceptable because the yogurt bacteria predigest the milk protein
when added to it.
After following this diet for 9 to 12 months and if raw goats' or cows' milk is
available. 9 to 12 ounces per day may be taken at any time during the day.

 self-defeating, and remember that the next time
you opt for guilt over freedom.
The Psychological Payoffs for Choosing Guilt
Here are the most basic reasons for choosing to waste your present
feeling guilty about things that you’ve done or failed to do in the
past.
• By absorbing your present moments feeling guilty about some-
thing that has already taken place, you don’t have to use that now
moment in any kind of effective, self-enhancing way. Very simply,
like so many self-defeating behaviors, guilt is an avoidance technique
for working on yourself in the present. Thus you shift responsibility
for what you are or are not now to what you were or were not in
the past.
• By shifting responsibility backward you not only avoid the hard
work of changing yourself now but the attendant risks that go with
change as well. It is easier to immobilize yourself with guilt about
the past than to take the hazardous path of growing in the present.
• There is a tendency to believe that if you feel guilty enough, you
will eventually be exonerated for having been naughty. This being
forgiven payoff is the basis of the prisonTHE USELESS EMOTIONS—GUILT AND WORRY  / 101mentality described above, in which the inmate pays for sins by
feeling terrible for a long period of time. The greater the transgres-
sion, the longer the period of remorse necessary for pardon.
• Guilt can be a means of returning to the safety of childhood, a
secure period when others made decisions for you and took care of
you. Rather than taking yourself in hand in the present, you rely on
the values of others from your past. And once again the payoff is in
being protected from having to take charge of your own life.
• Guilt is a useful method for transferring responsibility for your
behavior from yourself to others. It is easy to get infuriated at how
you are being manipulated and to shift the focus for your guilt off
yourself, and onto those infernal others, who are so powerful that
they can make you feel anything they want, including guilt.
• Often you can win the approval of others even when those
others don’t approve of your behavior by feeling guilt for that beha-
vior. You may have done something out of line, but by feeling guilty
you are showing that you know the proper way to behave, and are
making an attempt to fit in.
• Guilt is a superb way to win pity from others. No matter that
the desire for the pity is a clear indication of low self-esteem. In this
case you’d rather have others feel sorry for you, than like and respect
yourself.
There you have the most notorious of the dividends for hanging
onto guilt. Guilt, like all self-nullifying emotions, is a choice, some-
thing that you exercise control over. If you don’t like it, and would
prefer to make it go away so that you are entirely “guilt-free” here
are some beginning strategies for wiping your guilt slate clean.
Some Strategies for Eliminating Guilt
• Begin to view the past as something that can never be102 / Your Erroneous Zoneschanged, despite how you feel about it. It’s over! And any guilt that
you choose will not make the past different. Emblazon this sentence
on your consciousness. “My feeling guilty will not change the past,
nor will it make me a better person.” This sort of thinking will help
you to differentiate guilt from learning as a result of your past.
• Ask yourself what you are avoiding in the present with guilt
about the past. By going to work on that particular thing, you will
eliminate the need for guilt.
A client of mine who had been carrying on an extramarital affair
for some time provides a good example of this kind of guilt elimin-
ation. The man professed to feel guilty about the affair, but continued
to sneak away from his wife each week to see the other woman. I
pointed out to him that the guilt he spoke so much about was a
totally futile emotion. It did not improve his marriage and even
prevented him from enjoying his affair. He had two choices. He
could recognize that he was devoting his present to feeling guilty
because it was easier than examining his marriage closely and going
to work on it—and himself.
Or he could learn to accept his behavior. He could admit that he
condoned extramarital sexual exploration and realize that his value
system encompassed behavior which many people condemn. In
either case, he would be choosing to eliminate the guilt, and to either
change or accept himself.
• Begin to accept certain things about yourself that you’ve chosen
but which others may dislike. Thus, if your parents, boss, neighbors,
or even spouse, take a stand against some of your behavior, you can
see that as natural. Remember what was said earlier about approval
seeking. It is necessary that you approve of yourself; the approval
of others is pleasant but beside the point. Once you no longer need
approval, the guilt for behavior which does not bring approval will
disappear.
• Keep a Guilt Journal  and write down any guilty moments, noting
precisely when, why, and with whom it occurs, and what you are
avoiding in the present with this agonizing over theTHE USELESS EMOTIONS—GUILT AND WORRY  / 103past. The journal should provide some helpful insights into your
particular guilt zone.
• Reconsider your value system. Which values do you believe in
and which do you only pretend to accept? List all of these phony
values and resolve to live up to a code of ethics that is self-determ-
ined, not one that has been imposed by others.
• Make a list of all the bad things you’ve ever done. Give yourself
guilt points for each of them on a scale of one to ten. Add up your
score and see if it makes any difference in the present whether it’s
one hundred or one million. The present-moment is still the same
and all of your guilt is merely wasteful activity.
• Assess the real consequences of your behavior. Rather than
looking for a mystical feeling to determine yes’s and no’s in your
life, determine whether the results of your actions are pleasing and
productive for you.
• Teach those in your life who attempt to manipulate you with
guilt that you are perfectly capable of handling their disappointment
in you. Thus, if Mamma gets into her guilt act with “You didn’t do
this” or “I’ll get the chairs, you just sit there,” learn new responses
like “Okay, Mom, if you want to risk your back on a few chairs be-
cause you can’t wait a few minutes, I guess there is little I can do to
dissuade you.” It will take some time, but their behavior will begin
to change once they see they cannot force you to choose guilt. Once
you de-fuse the guilt, the emotional control over you and the possib-
ility of manipulation are eliminated forever.
• Do something which you know is bound to result in feelings of
guilt. As you check into a hotel, and a bellboy is assigned to show
you to a room that you are perfectly capable of finding alone with
your one small piece of luggage, announce that you’ll do it alone. If
you’re rejected, tell your unwanted companion that he is wasting
his time and energy since you will not be leaving a tip for a service
that you don’t want. Or take a week to be alone if you’ve always
wanted to do so, despite the104 / Your Erroneous Zonesguilt-engendering protestations from other members of your family.
These kinds of behavior will help you to tackle that omnipresent
guilt that so many sectors of the environment are adept at helping
you to choose.
• The following dialogue represents a role-working exercise in a
counseling group led by myself, in which a young girl (23) was
confronting her mother (being played by another group member)
about wanting to leave the nest. The mother was using every con-
ceivable guilt-producing response to keep her from leaving home.
This dialogue was the end product of an hour of teaching the
daughter how to outmaneuver her mother’s guilt-producing state-
ments.
DAUGHTER : Mother—I’m leaving home.
MOTHER : If you do, I’ll have a heart attack, you know how
my heart is, and how I need you to help me with my medicine
and all.
DAUGHTER : You’re concerned about your health and you
think you can’t make it without me.
MOTHER : Of course I can’t. Look, I’ve been good to you all
these years, and now you’re just walking out, leaving me
here to die. If that’s all you think of your mother, go ahead.
DAUGHTER : You think that because you’ve helped me as a
child that I should repay you by staying here and not become
independent and be on my own.
MOTHER : (Clutching at her chest) I’m having a tachycardia
attack right now. I think I’m going to die. You’re killing me,
that’s what you’re doing.
DAUGHTER : Is there anything you’d like to say to me before
you leave?”
In this dialogue, the daughter refused to yield to the obvious guilt
producers offered by her mother. The daughter had been aTHE USELESS EMOTIONS—GUILT AND WORRY  / 105literal slave, and any effort to be on her own had always been met

therapy is far from all the~ defects. Here a single liquid is a s1,1re
cure of. all diseases. The only thing required is the proper
understanding of the condition of the ailing person. As a matter of
face even diagnosis in unnecessary. But it is essential that the
vitality of the patient, local climate, the quantity of urine to be used,
the method of application, the diet before, during and after the
treatment etc., should be fully considered beforehand. The follower
of this treatment should be careful in his general behaviour also
because mental attitude also plays an important role in the physical
health.
A Treatment with Self-restraint: The accounts of the most of the
cases which I have received have one common purpose and that is
people want to survive somehow by whatever means it may be
possible. Moreover it has been our habit not to do anything
methodically or rationally. But this would not be allowed in this
treatment. otherwise it would bring discredit to this therapy. one
should not take up this treatment if one lacks inself-restraint,
moderation in food and lacks patience.
I have to put a question to such half-hearted patients who have
been benefited in sptie of their being unrestrained. But what woul~
they have said if the results were unfavourable? Would they have
boldly admitted that it was only due to their own faults that harrn
had been done to them? I ·do not think such would have been their·
reaction if the result was not good. Naturally persons with selfish
motives would have given an odd name to urine therapy to achieve
their own selfish ends. Hence I do not have the slightest hesitation
in warning the patients that they should not practise this theraPY 170 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY
