 go. Bring your attention into your heart and acknowledge all the things for
which you feel grateful. Now listen to your heart and ask yourself the question, “What am I
carrying with me from the past that is no longer serving me well in the
present. ”
If you identify any encumbrances in your heart, have the intention to
release them now. Let go of any resentments, grievances, or regrets
that you find. As you release these toxic emotions, see if you can find the gift that
this toxic emotion was hiding. For example, if you felt pain as a result
of someone’ s behavior, the gift may be that you learned more self-
reliance. Make the commitment to regularly acknowledge gratitude and
relinquish all grievances from your heart. Encumbering yo ur heart with toxic emotions prevents you from fully
experiencing the magic, mystery, and joy that is available to you right now. Make th e comm itment to release the resentments, regrets, and grievances
that are causing more harm to you than anyone else. The process of releasing emoti onal toxins is similar to that for releasing
physical ones. Y ou must first have a clear intention that you wan t to replace
life-depleting emotions with life-enhancing ones. The metabolism of regret
and resentment into compassion and for giveness can dramatically awaken
your body, mind, and spirit to your primordial vital ener gy. W rite about the history that cre ated the toxic emotion, describing both
what ha ppened and how you fe el as a result of the situation. S tudies have
shown that journaling about upsetting emotional experiences can improve
your im mune function, as well as help you gain clarity and in sight. In his
book Nonviolent Communication, psychologist Ma rshall Rosenber g teaches
an emot ional vocabulary that avoids victimization. Steer clear from words
like abandoned, abused, neglected, and mistreated; instead, describe the
actual fe elings of anger, sadness, loneliness, and fear that the circumstance
evoked. Once yo u have written about the circumstances leading to the toxic
emotions, perform some physic al ritual with the intention of releasing the
hold these feeling have on your soul. Do some deep breathing, get a
massage, pound  a pillow, dance with abandon, or go for a long run until
your body has released the tension that is stored with the emotion. Then,
open your heart to feelings that generate the age-reversing emotions offor giveness, har mony, laughter,  and love rather than the entropy evoking
ones of anguish, resentment, regret, and despair. T oxic emotions ar e often the most harmful accelerators
of the aging pr ocess. Commit to r eleasing them
fr om your heart and mind. T ransform or Release T oxic Relationships
Y ou may, at times, find yourself in relationships that are laced with conflict. Although you may enjoy the  passion and drama these relationships
generate, over time, they will inevitably make you feel older and depleted. It is esse ntial tha t you transform toxic relationships into nourish ing ones. If
you acce pt that reality is a selec tive act of perception and interp retation, the
most em powering way to transform a relationship is to change the way you
view the other person. Every re lationship is a mirror th at can show you some aspect of yourself. When you are engaged in conflict, ask yourself, “What is this situation
telling me about my own nature. ” T ry this simple exercise that can be
helpful in revealing the hidden meaning in a dif ficult relationship. W rite down as m any traits as you can think of that describe th e person
with whom you are having problems. Now loo k again  at each descrip tive word and see which ones create an
emotional char g e in you. For example, you may have des cribed yourmanager as:
As you review your list, you may see traits that r eally irritate you:
controlling, needy, unappreciative, and stubborn. Now look at y ourself. Are
these words that others might  use to describe you. Do you have the
tendency to reflect these traits. Have you expressed these qua lities in the
past. M ore often than not, the traits that bother you the most in another
person a re the ones you try ha rdest to deny in yourself. As you embrace
these da rker qua lities in your ow n heart, you may find yourself less inclined
to judge someone else for expressing them. As you relinquish your
judgment and interpretation, yo u may open to the possibility that there are
other qu alities t hat may be attr active in the person, which yo u have not
allowed yourself to see. MEETING YOUR NEEDS
Relationships thrive when both  parties feel their needs are being met and
struggle when they are not. Put very simply: Y ou feel good when your
needs ar e being met and bad when they are not. Not getting you r needs met
leads to stress, t oxic emotions, and toxic relationships. Learning to express
your nee ds and emotions in a healthy way fosters nourishing r elationships
and reverses aging. As i nfants, we e xpect our caregivers to fulfill our needs, even if we don’ t
know what they are. W e wail a few times and anticipate Mother scrambling
to determ ine if we are hungry, cold, tired, bored, or just want to be held. W e
carry these same desires into ad ulthood and become hurt, frustrated, angry,
or depressed when our lovers, friends, or associates are unable to
immediately figure out what we need and give it to us. Thi s is not anapproach that is likely to be suc cessful. Let’ s explore a more ef fective way
to express your needs and emotions. THE DIALOGUE OF NEEDS
The humanistic psychologist Abraham Maslow described five basic needs
that drive us all. First, we have basic physiological needs, such as food,
water, and protection against extreme heat or cold. Once these needs are
met we are motivated by the n eed for safety and security. W e  all want to
feel prot ected fr om physical and emotional harm. The third need is social—
the n eed for com munity, friendship, love, and belonging. As the se needs are
met we have the need for self-esteem. At this level, achievement, respect,
recognition, and status are sought. The final need is to find meaning,
beauty, and wisdom in life. Mas low called this final step self-ac tualization. In Eastern traditions this is the state of enlightenment. Self-actualized people are acce pting, spontaneous, natural, an d simple. They are dedicated to a life of meaning and creativity. They are as
comfortable alone as they are i n intimate personal relationships. They are
playful and laugh easily. They know how to meet their needs. In his book Nonviolent Communication, Marshall Rosenb er g describes a
simple process to enhance the ch ances of getting your needs met. Whenever
your needs are not met and you become upset, first ask yourself, “What am
I observing. ” Rather than saying  to the other person “Y ou are al ways late to
every date,” say “W e agreed to meet at noon and you did not arrive until
12:30 P. M. ” Separate your judgments and evaluation from your
observations and you will be less likely to trigger defensiveness. The second step is to identify what you are feeling. Develop a rich
emotional vocabulary that does  not make you a victim. A void words that
require s omeone else to be there  for you to experience your emotions, such
as ig nored, rejected, neglected, abandoned, or abused. Y ou are empowered
when yo u say you feel alarmed, annoyed, exhausted, frightened, lonely,outraged, or sad, but you give away your power when you use the
vocabulary of the victim. The thir d step is to determine w hat you actually need from the situation. If you cannot be clear on what your needs are, it’ s very unlikely that the
other person is in a better position to figure it out. The four th step is to formulate a  specific request. Ask for what you need
as specifically as possible. Rather than demanding “Y ou need to spend more
time wi th me or else.,” rephrase it in the form of a request: “Are you
willing t o come home an hour e arly from work W ednesday afternoon so we
can take  a walk together. ” Peo ple are much more likely to respond to a
request than a demand. W e would add a fifth step to Dr. Rosenber g’ s original four. Whether your
request is met o r not, ask yours elf, what is the gift in this situation. What
can you learn from this circumstance about yourself and life. What is the
lesson that can r aise you to a higher level of awareness. Find th e gift, even
if it is not the one you originally anticipated. Make th e comm itment to communicate your needs consciously, and you
will waste a lot less ener gy in conflict. Accept your dif ferences as a cause of
celebration, rather than finding it necessary to make the other person wrong. Because we believe that cultivating loving relationships is such an
important component of reversi ng the aging process, we devote an


 a superior brand of vitamin E (see appendix B for
what I use and recommend in vitamin supplements). It is amazing how many difficulties the average person faces in trying to make
healthful choices. I find it a full-time job to keep up, but it is a job worth doing. I
learned the hard way how suffering can come when health is failing; the challenge
and success of recovering from a terminal illness has given me an opportunity to
arrive at unique insights that I am now sharing with you. Perhaps the most profound conclusions I reached in my study of health are thathealth is a choice
and that
virtually no one ever has to be sick. But first, we must
educate ourselves; we must know not only what to look for, but how to look. To
choose health, we must learn how to make better choices in the foods we eat, the
supplements we take and the products we use. While most of the products I selected for my own use are available in health food
stores, some are not in every store or every state. To make life easy for those who
care about their health, Beyond Health makes most of the products I use and
recommend available to the public. Beyond Health can be reached by calling 800-250-3063 or by accessing

illions of Americans take vitamin supplements on a daily basis. Does it improve
their health? For the most part, no. Large-scale epidemiological studies have been
unable to find health benefits in those who take vitamins. Confused? There is a
simple explanation. Most vitamin products are ineffective and even the best-selling
brands contain toxins. Indeed, taking supplements will benefit your health, but only
if you take the correct supplements. After years of research and testing vitamin products, I selected the Beyond Health
brand for my own use. During my recovery from terminal illness, I knew I needed a
nutritional supplement supply of the highest quality. Even small amounts of
impurities and toxins were sufficient to make me very sick, thus
purity
was one of
my most important criteria in choosing vitamins. As it turns out, fillers and/or
chemical additives constitute about half of most vitamin brands. These fillers can
introduce toxins and allergens, interfere with solubility and/or absorption and
ultimately reduce the biological activity at the cellular level. Why bother to take a
supplement if it’s going to contribute to your toxic load, or if the impurities will
prevent the nutrients from reaching and being metabolized inside the cells? Almost half of all vitamin brands do not dissolve soon enough to be assimilated
by the body. Even among brands that dissolve soon enough, most of them provide
only the RDA of the nutrients they contain, yet it takes much more than the RDA to
be biologically significant in preventing or reversing disease. Furthermore, just
because a vitamin pill contains a nutrient does not mean that the nutrient will be
useful to your body. Cheap and inappropriate raw materials (with low biological
activity) are used most often in the major vitamin brands. Some manufacturers even
make a habit of purchasing —at tremendous discounts—outdated raw materials that
have lost their potency. The most expensive vitamin pill in the world is one that
doesn’t work. It is neither easy nor cheap to make a quality vitamin product. Consider the
question of synthetic versus naturally derived vitamins. Natural ingredients tend to
be more biologically available and more expensive, which is why most vitamin
brands use synthetics. The molecules of these synthetics often differ in shape from
the natural molecules, which is important in how they react, and thus how the body
uses them. For example, synthetic vitamin E and beta-carotene are well known to be
less biologically active than their natural forms. Taking synthetic beta-carotene can
even cause a deficiency of other carotenes. In addition to the problems posed bysynthetics, other considerations include the age and purity of the raw materials and
how they are shipped, stored, handled, compounded and packaged. All these can
have a big effect on the quality of the finished product. Based on the criteria I set for safety, quality and effectiveness, the one brand that
stood out from the crowd was Beyond Health. In my weakened and chemically
hypersensitive condition, Beyond Health was the first brand of supplement my body
was able to tolerate, especially at therapeutic doses. Only after taking Beyond Health
did my health begin to improve. These supplements are extraordinarily pure and
have exceptionally high biological activity. The vitamin E brand I selected for my
own use is called Unique E.
Unfortunately, because of the many subtleties and complexities, it is almost
impossible for the consumer to make an informed judgment about the quality of a
vitamin supplement. There is a great deal of information you need to know that
simply cannot be found on the label. There are, however, some clues anyone can
look for such as the chemistry of the minerals. If you find carbonates, oxides,
sulfates, phosphates and chelates, you are most likely looking at an inferior formula. Save your money, because your cells will see little, if any, benefit. Also, a
multivitamin containing iron, iodine or copper is not well designed because these
can cause loss of antioxidant nutrients in the formula. A formula that lists beta-
carotene without listing the source is most likely the inferior synthetic variety. Vitamin E with a “dl” in front of it is the less desirable synthetic version. The best
solution is to research and understand the chemistry of the supplements thoroughly
or else purchase from a trusted source. Based on what your body actually gets for what you pay, Beyond Health is the
least expensive brand and the best value on the market, which is why I recommend it
and use it myself. For more information about Beyond Health and Unique E go to

ost of the countless thousands of products on the market today do not meet my
criteria for both safety and effectiveness. Many are effective, but fail on the safety
issue. A few brands are in the acceptable category for use by most people. However,
especially for those who have health problems and are struggling to get well, I
recommend only those products that have met my standards for both effectiveness
and safety. Following is a list of products I have chosen for my own use. Most of
these are available at
www.beyondhealth.com
 or by calling 800-250-3063. Cleaning Cloth
Most household glass, bathroom, and kitchen cleansers contain toxic chemicals
that are damaging to cells. The nontoxic answer is One Cloth. One Cloth cleans
almost anything with just water, even greasy stoves and car windshields. Use a spray
bottle with water instead of toxic chemicals. When a One Cloth gets dirty, just throw
it in the regular wash (do not use chlorine bleach and they will last through hundreds
of washings). Deodorant
Most people use deodorants daily and are unaware that they are placing toxic
chemicals on a sensitive skin area where they can be absorbed into the body. Almost
all deodorants contain toxic chemicals such as aluminum compounds, triclosan, and
artificial fragrances, colors and preservatives. Even the “rock” deodorants are made
of aluminum salts. After two years of research, my choice is IndiuMagic. IndiuMagic is a colorless, odorless liquid spray that is non-staining, non-allergenic,
safe, inexpensive and effective. Fats and Oils
Certain fats and oils are essential nutrients. The body requires them every day for
good health. The problem is that most of the good fats and oils have been removed
from our modern diets and unhealthful fats and oils have replaced them. The fats andoils I choose to use follow. Bariani Olive Oil

index finger helps with digestion. Many spas and clinics in India  of fer hand massage, often as a
prelude or to accompany another treatment. Comprising part of a
karashubakari  (“manicure” in Sanskrit), it can be particularly
pleasant. Many of these manicures utilize homemade herbal pastes,
scrubs and tonics and combine them with mainstream hand and nail
care such as cutting and filing nails, cuticle care and the application
of nail polish. O f particular note is the pampering manicure at the
Indus V alley A yurvedic Center: in this sequence, milk (high in lactic
acid) is used to soften hands; a disinfecting neem paste makes for a
tingling purifier ; herbal medicated oil according to one’ s  dosha  is
the base  for a vigorous hand massage; gelatine and lemon remo ves
dead surface cells while lemon  juice and sugar exfoliates; an d a
herbal pack made from  Multani mitti, milk and rosewater tightens
the skin. At over 90 minutes, it is a ritual to relish. A rich jade color, this neem paste is part of the relaxing herbal manicure given in
the comfortable Shringar Herbal Beauty Salon at the Indus Valley Ayurvedic
Center. In Indian salons, a manicure often includes a hand massage that extends all the
way up the arms. At the spa at Neemrana Fort Palace, a therapist locates
pressure points on the wrist — for deep cleansing as well as relaxation.Certain Aura spas’ therapists are trained in the art of a very particular hand
massage technique. Designed to release emotions, it can be quite a powerful
experience. Using thumbs and knuckl es, the therapist pushes up from the tip of
each finge r to release energy — and the same techniques are also employed
elsewhere on the body for a similar ef fect.foot care
In I ndia, when entering a hom e it is traditional to step across
the threshold with the right foot first. Shoes are often taken
of f, as they are when entering a temple or mosque (here feet
are often washed too), and touching the feet of an elder is
considered a mark of respect. As in other parts of Asia, feet
are full of symbolism. According to A yurvedic lore, an imbalance of  vata  lies at the heart
of all foot problems. As is u sual, most physicians recomm end
prevention rather than cure, stressing that regular foot care, pro per
posture and sensible footwea r also go a long way towards
ameliorating existing problems. Alternating hot and cold footbaths
help with aching feet and poor circulation, while regular foot
hygiene and exercise allow you to put your best foot forward at all
times. In  the same way that a footbath was traditionally of fered to
visitors after a l ong journey, today it often sets the tone at a spa. Given b efore a treatment, it benefits more than just the feet a s it
revitalizes the nervous system, improves circulation and provides a
feeling of general wellbeing. The  Charaka Samita  notes that the application of oil is the
best remedy for tired or neglected feet. It is said to alleviate coarse
and rough skin and reduce stif fness, fatigue and numbness. Furthermore, after a  padhabyangha  massage (foot massage with
oil), loca lized veins and ligaments are strengthened and feet bec ome
firm and  strong. In addition, vis ion is supposed to be enhanced, as
nerves in the soles of the feet are associated with the eyes.Padhabyangham  tends to concentrate on the pressure points
located on the soles of the feet, as it is believed that these are
connected by ener gy channels to internal or gans. Sesame or cooling
coconut oil is favored, and if the oil is enlivened with essential oils
such as peppermint,  tulsi  or black pepper, feet are also given an
antiseptic and tension-relieving  boost. It is said that a str ong
rotating, kneadi ng foot massage before bed results in a tranquil
night’ s sleep. At m any spas b oth in India and elsewhere, foot reflexology or
foot massage is a staple on the menu. Often given whilst a client lies
cocooned in a b ody wrap or as  one part of a foot ritual, there is
something wickedly sensual about having your feet nurtured in s uch
a m anne r. Anoth er option is to walk along an uneven path in bare
feet (as recommended at Soukya and Kalari Kovilakom): a couple
of ci rcumambulations around su ch a path sends messages from the
trigger p oints on  the soles of the feet through the meridian chan nels
to th e in ternal o r gans. Y our body will benefit, even if your feet feel
a little painful. “As the snake does n’t approach the eagle, so disease doesn’t affect the person
who mass ages his feet before sleepin g” goes an old Indian saying. As such, foot
massage to the  marma  points on the feet is a family activity, often given by
children to elders. Invigorating and enlivening, it is good not only for the feet, but
for the entire body. In the same way  that soap was eschewed for an  ubtan  scrub to
cleanse and purify the body, A yurvedic physicians and beauty
therapists recom mend cleaning the feet with a scrub. Not only does
this exfo liate de ad skin cells, it helps prevent foot odor and fu ngal
and bact erial infections. For a v ery Indian sensation, try the Masala
spice scrub at T aj spas: a boost for the circulation, it promotes deep
cleansing. Another winner is the or ganic thyme and peppermint
scrub at Quan sp a in Mumbai: when followed by a  marma  massage
with  parijat  oil, it leaves the whole body profoundly relaxed.The floral footbath is a staple at Indian spas, as it is elsewhere around the globe. Jasmine, rose, frangipani and chrysanthemum blooms are all popular.The four steps at Neemrana Fort Palace’ s sublime  sirolepam  treatment includes a
head massage that extends to the face, neck and shoulder areas, a mud and
yogurt pack that penetrates deeply into the epidermal layer of the scalp, a
shampoo and a final conditioner. Traditionally, hair packs were covered with leaf
wraps. hair care
Indian women are renowned for their dark, thick and
lustrous locks. Ancient texts contain numerous reference s to
treatments, rinses, lotions, infusions and pastes for
beautifying, s trengthening and improving hair hea lth,
emphasizing how Indians have always prized hair as an
integral part of beauty.Indian women traditionally sport long tresses as this Keralan portrait on glass
illustrates. Often depicting everyday household activities, such paintings were
probably introduced  to India by the British in the 18th century. Subject matter
included religious themes, portraiture, folk art, and more. Their usage was purely
decorative. In I ndian paintings, women are depicted with long hair or
ornamented hairstyles, and the pantheon of Hindu goddesses always
wear ela borate h eadgear. Simila rly, Indian brides take great prid e in
their hairstyles, with dif ferent areas favoring dif ferent styles. The
Punjabi bride wears a red  parandi  (a type of silk tassel) in her hair,
while Be ngali and Maharashtran brides opt for buns decorated w ith
white flo wers. Further south in T amil Nadu, white, orange and pink
blossoms are woven around a central plait, while Keralan br ides
sport a veil of jasmine buds tied to form anet. In the  Kumarasambhavam, the famous Sanskrit epic poem by
the poet Kalidasa, the hair pre parations for the goddess Parvati’ s
wedding to Shiva are described  in detail: first her maids dried and
scented her hair with incense, then they plaited it into a grac eful
braid, an d finally decorated it with inlaid flowers and a garland of
madhuka  flowers woven with  durva  grass. Scenting the hair with smoke or incense  (dhoop)  while it dries
is a  tradition th at has been practiced by Indian womenfolk for
centuries. Burning charcoal, mixed with  sallaki  or frankincense (a
powder made from the gum of the  Boswellia serrata  tree), is
placed on an ear then or brass tr ay and wafted beneath long tres ses. The ancient equivalent of a ha ir dryer, it helps with drying a fterwashing, imparts fragrance to the hair and prevents fungal
infections, dandruf f and other hair problems. Shampoos were traditionally made from herbal powders, both
A yurvedic and otherwise, and many are still in use today. Popular

 of your life—not usually for the better. Little by little, as you learn to accept that emotions are a reality  of life,
they will come and go if you let them. This is spiritual evolution. Just as our
bodies have evolved through eons of challenging outer experiences, so our
souls evolve through the fires of inner experiences. It is not that a great
being does not have emotions; it is that they are at peace  with their
emotions. They can handle the various changes their heart goes through. If
somebody you know dies, it’s natural to feel a sense of loss. You’re going to
feel a certain amount of sadness if you cared about the person. That is your
heart expressing itself in harmony with what’ s happenin g. Like an
instrument playing something beautiful, your heart is composing a song of
sadness for you. The trouble is you’re not okay with that. Eventually you
will realize that the emotion itself is not the problem—the problem is you’re
not able to hand le the emotion. We come back to the same place again and
again: Do you want to devote your life to controlling the world so your heart
never feels emotions you can’t handle. Or do you want to devote yourself to
the evolutionary work of becoming comfortable with your heart. Just as we found  with the mind, if you want to work with your heart,
understand why it is the way it is. You may have noticed it can be sensitive,
volatile, and difficult to live with. The heart is this way because you didn’ t
handle the natur al emotions it created, you resisted them, which stored their
energy inside you. Now you’re in trouble. It’s bad enough that you pushed
away thought patterns, but you’ve also pushed away the vibrat ions of your
heart. These blocked energy patterns are making a complete mess of your
heart. The heart has become out of balance, and it has stopped opening
when it needs to express healthy emotions. Let’s say someone does
something that makes you feel fear. There are times when fear is a normal,
healthy reaction to outer events. But you aren’ t able to handle the emotion,
so you suppress it to get it out of your consciousness. Later, you hear
something bad happened to that person. Instead of feeling comp assion, you
feel relieved. Your emotions are no longer in harmony with outer situations,
instead they are releasing the blocked ener gies from your past experiences. Spiritual growth is about fixing the heart and returning it to a state of
well-being. It should be clear by now that the problem is not outside in the
world; the probl em is your inabi lity to handle your heart’ s full expression of
the world. Learning to handle these expressions is the solution, and it is the
essence of spiritual growth. Feelings of loss or fear or anger in your heart
are just objects of consciousness that Self is experiencing. They cannot
harm you, unless you resist them. They actually make you richer because
you experienced them. Every experien ce makes you a greater person if you
don’t resist it. Come to peace with the expressions of your heart. It may seem
impossible to be comfortable with emotions that are uncomfortable, but the
truth is you already have experience doing that. Take Shakespeare’ s play
Romeo and Juliet. As a tragedy, it certainly is not fun. Let’s say a
Shakespeare troupe comes through town and performs Romeo and Juliet. They do such a good job that you cry with a level of relief you’ve hardly
ever felt before. The performance was completely heart-wrenching. What do
you do. You tell all your friends to go see it. You say, “I cried for three days
afterwards. It was unbelievable. It touched my heart so deeply. I’ve never
felt such pure sadness. I want to see it again, and you all should come with
me. ” Well, if a tragedy even close to that happened in real life, you would
not be praising the depth of emotion—you would be scarred for life. That’ sthe difference between acceptin g the expression of your heart  rather than
resisting it. Creation has put a full orchestra inside you, free of charge. This makes
life so much more interesting and vibrant. Learn to enjoy your heart by
ceasing to resist it. It’s not about losing yourself in your emotion s. It’s about
being willing to experience them in the same way you experience a
beautiful sunset. You simply let the sunset come in. You’re  not doing
anything. You are simply allowing awareness to be aware of what is in front
of it. Sometimes it’s a beautiful sunset, sometimes it’s a sense of loss. The
process is exactly the same: consciousness is experiencing an object of
consciousness. You are not clinging to it or suppressing it. You are simply
experiencing it. If you cling to the object, it stays. If you suppress it, it stays. If it stays,
it will distort reality. You are no longer open to life—you have a bias for or
against certain things. These samskaras are powerful packets  of energy. They distort your perception of life, and you constantly pay the price. When
thoughts and emotions are suppressed, they rot down there. They will pop
up at different times and cause serious problems in your life. This is what
Freud taught, and it was also taught thousands of years earlier in the
Upanishads. Learning to make peace with your heart is a major step toward
extricating yourself from the very human predicament we all find ourselves
in. Chapter 29. Neither Suppression nor Expression
Though it is true that you don’t want to suppress emotions, you also don’t
want them running your life. There is a sacred place between suppression
and expression—pure experience. In this state, you are neither  suppressing
the energy internally nor expres sing it externally. You are simply willing to
experience the energy coming from your heart and mind. The sorrow of
death and the joy of birth are both coming up inside and feedin g your soul. They are touchi ng you all the way to the core of your being. You are not
touching them— they are touching you. There’ s nothing to do about it. It is
all simply a gift God is giving you. The mind is free to think; the heart is
free to feel. All of this leaves you at peace, in a state of gratitude. This is the
way life is meant to be. Yet you can’t handle certain thoughts and emotions. You resist them,
and then you build a mental world around what you have stored in there. In
this state, you can only feel gratitude if you get what you want or avoid
what you don’t want. Eventual ly you wake up and realize that you have
work to do, real work. That work is not outside; it is inside. That work
becomes your spiritual practice. To get what you really want—joy, love,
enthusiasm, and passion for every moment of your life—you need to get
these stored patterns out. The problem is that while you might see this
intellectually, in a very short period of time your mind is going to fight
back. This is because the inner path doesn’ t fit the mind’ s habitual patterns
for how to be okay. The only data the mind currently has is based upon its past
experiences, so the mind always thinks it’s right. This is part of the
predicament. Please understand that your mind will always think it’s right. The mind is not dumb; it knows what it experienced. But it doesn’ t know
what it didn’ t experience—which is an infinitely larger body of knowledge. This is why the wise sage Lao Tzu reflected that a wise man does not argue
—for what purpose. You have your mindset, and another person has their
mindset. All their lifelong data says one thing, and your totally different
lifelong data sees it differently. There’ s nothing you’re going to do about
that, except be humble enough to realize that at any given moment the data
you are taking in is less than. 00001 percent of what’ s going on everywhere. It’s meaningless ; it rounds to zero. In essence, you’ve had a whole bunch of
zero-breadth experiences that add up to zero. The personal mind is so caught
up in itself, it will never want to look at that truth. Deep spiritual teachings embrac e that truth. They ask you to look at the
world in front of you and realize it took billions of years for that exact
moment to manifest before you. Accept that. Honor that. Surrender to that. This begins by first accepting reality, not resisting it. It’s not about doing or
not doing anyth ing—it’ s about surrendering your initial resista nce to what
is. You see what ’s there, and then let go of all the stuff that comes up due to
your stored samskaras. Inevitably, your mind is going to start talking about
likes and dislike s. Just don’t listen. Why would you listen to that. It’s just
your personal blockages superimposed on reality. You can now understand what you are accepting and surrendering to:
reality. What else is there. Reality is truth, at least for the moment. It is
what’ s real versus past mental impressions that are simply leftover thoughts. The way to deal with these mental impressions is to realize they are
perfectly natura l. Reality is going to come in, it’s going to hit your

that all new ideas must go through three phases. First, they are ridiculed. Next, they are viciously attacked. Years later, they are accepted as self-evident truths. Then people say, “Oh yes, we’ve known this all along.”FOR MORE INFORMATION

 expandin g rings (see this page ). Time turns into probability waves,
and space is filled with ambiguous, foggy regions where a bit of matter
might once have passed through or could be expected to show up. Our two points A and B are known to be somewhere inside these
expanding rings, but there is no definite past, present, or future, only
possibilities of position. Maybe  a particle is here, maybe there. When the
position is determined, then the time scale emer ges with it. A and B could
be close together at the center or apart somewhere farther out. Linear time
fools us into thinking that one minute follows another with equal spacing,
but change your reference to subjective time: Two seconds sitting on a hot
stove are much further apart than two seconds with a pretty girl. Einstein
proved that the spacing betwe en any two events is totally arbitrary; in
reality there is only the possibility  of intervals. Toppling linear time didn’ t make Einstein very happy—he personally
preferred to believe that three- dimensional things and events  were real. Nonetheless, a supreme act of liberation was achieved for science. Younger
physicists were jubilant, and in Einstein’ s wake we now have “superspace,”
a realm exploding with new dimensions, new geometries, and any kind of
time one can imagine. In superspace, stars are no longer separated by black
emptiness; infin ite energy pulsates through the void, spinning itself out
along invisible strings and loops. Time can get sucked into black holes and
spewed out of “singularities,” compressed seeds of space-time  that enfold
infinite duration in zero space. In superspace time does not have any fixed direction; it can just as easily
go back ward as forward. A particle departing from A can show up at B
before it left, defying our linear expectations. This may seem impossible to
comprehend, but imagine a jet taking off at night. As a passe nger sitting
inside the plane, you see the runway lights rushing past you in a row,
following a sequence in time. Once you are airborne, however, you can look
down and see that the lights weren’ t moving at all. They exist in a pattern
that you experienced as movin g time. Linear time always appears to be
moving, but when you break out of the three-dimensional view point, it is
possible to look down, survey the larger picture, and realize that time itself
does not move. The standard picture of Nature endorsed by most physicists has two
layers that we can understand either through the senses or through scientific
theory:
PHYSICAL CREA TION
QUANTUM FIELD
The physical world arose from the quantum field, which is the source of all
matter and energy. But that raises the obvious question: Where did the
quantum field come from? Quantum reality is already at the very edge of
time and space; beyond it there is no where or when. Therefore, the source
of the quantum field must be nowhere and everywhere, and the date of its
birth was no time and anytime. In other words, the question has no answer
that makes sense within our ordinary framework of space-time.Here again, Einstein offered a solution. When he had completed his work
on the General Theory of Relativity, which some physicists consider the
most profound act of thought achieved by any single human being, Einstein
went on to postu late a unified field theory that would draw together all the
laws of Nature and give them a common foundation. His famou s theorem E
= mc2 had proved that matter can be converted into energy—in the
terminology of physics, Einstein had unified the two—and now he set out to
unify space and time as well. In essence he would replace the two-layer
model of the cosmos with a three-layer one (see this page ). Since he had already proved that space-time is an illusion, this new layer
of the unified field had to be the Reality behind the illusion, the wholeness
beyond all dimensions. Unfortu nately, Einstein died before he was able to
find mathematic al expression for his unified field theory. Thirty years after
his death, younger colleagues such as John Wheeler and David Bohm took
up the task, despite the fact that most physicists were extremely skeptical. It
seemed impossible to come up with a true unified field theory, because it
would have to be nothing less than “the theory of everything.” Today,
skepticism has turned to hope, and a theory of everything is considered a
viable goal by such notable thinkers as Stephen Hawking and Roger
Penrose. PHYSICAL CREA TION
QUANTUM FIELD
UNIFIED FIELD
However, we do not have to wait for the theory of everythi ng to be
proved in order to grasp that the unified field is identical to the It of Alan
Watts’s timeless  experience, the totality that is perfectly ordered and that
includes all space-time events  in a seamless web. When the spiritual
masters declare,  “I am That,” they are affirming the most complete sense of
belonging. They realize that the unified field exists in, around, and through
them. However, for us to share this experience we have to overc ome a very
imposing obstac le—the fear of death. For the vast majority of people, death
represents the cutof f point where life ends and the unknown begins. But thepost-Einstein universe has no beginning and end, no edges in time and
space. To join this larger reality, each of us must redefine where our own
life begins and ends—or whether it begins and ends at all. OceanofPDF.comTHE SPELL OF MORTALITY:
Overcoming the Illusion of Death
The unified field is inside ourselves, anchoring us to the timeless world
with every breath, every though t, every action. Some people are much more
aware of this connection than others, and for them death becomes much less
threatening. Once, as a young man when he was at the depths of ill health
and depression, Einstein wrote to a close friend, “I feel myself so much a
part of all life that I am not in the least concerned with the beginning or the
end of the concrete existence of any particular person in this unending
stream.”
This sense of being one with things brings safety and the absence of
threat. If harboring threat insid e us is what gives rise to aging, then we
cannot afford to live with our present fear of death. In actuality, death is not
the all-powerful force our fear tells us it is. In Nature, death is part of the
larger cycle of birth and renewa l. This year’s seeds sprout, grow, blossom,
and set next year’s seeds. The cycles of endless renewal are not beyond
death—they incorporate death, using it for a larger purpose. The same is
true inside our bodies. Many cells under go aging and death as a choice, not
because they have been forced into extinction by the grim reaper. Even to assume that death exists  is a half-truth, for there are many levels
of yourself that know nothing of extinction. Your atoms are billions of years
old and have billions of years more life left in them. In the remote future,
when they are broken down into smaller particles, atoms will not die but
just get transformed into another configuration of energy. Atoms are
nothing but transformed energy to begin with, yet we do not say that the
primordial “ener gy soup” died when it got locked up into the orderly
patterns of hydrogen, helium, and the other elements. Gravity and itskindred subatomic forces holding your body together will never die,
although in some unknowable future they may withdraw into the larger
force fields that gave birth to them in the Big Bang. As long as we are
composed of these deathless ingredients, why not see ourselves in the same
light? In the Grip of Illusion
To break free of the grip of death, you need to see that it is based on a very
selective view of reality that was conditioned into you before  you had a
conscious choice. Go back in your mind to the time in early childhood
when you first realized that there was death. These first encounters are
generally very shocking. A 4-year -old is stunned when she wakes up one
morning to find that a pet canary, cat, or dog has simply stopped being
alive. What’ s happened? Where did my pet go? Parents rarely can supply a good answer to those questions. They say
something like, “Your pet has gone to heaven to be with God.” This usually
doesn’ t settle the matter. Saying  that a pet went to heaven conveys what the
parents hope  is true, but underneath they fear death as much as children do
and understand it just as little. Young children have good antennae for
parental doubts and evasions. The tears stop and the pain eases, but at a
deeper level a faint suspicion is born: Maybe this could happen to me. Then when a child is somewhere between ages 4 and 6, the parents
confirm that the fearful intimati on is true. “Grandmother has died and gone
to heave n, and one day you will die, and so will Mommy and Daddy.” You
may not remember this moment —many children prefer to deny it and vow
to be Peter Pan, forever young—but whether you remember it is irrelevant. The moment you confronted death, some psychologists argue, you bought
into a notion that has gripped humanity for centuries. Y our

 that it is your ego
that is conniving to keep you from knowing the power of this in your
_ own life. Listed below are some of the major attitudes and behaviors that
you can incorporate into your consciousness to facilitate the growth
of your feelings of worthiness. A PLAN FOR ADOPTING AND HONORING YOUR WORTHINESS
TO RECEIVE AND ATTRACT FROM THE DIVINE SOURCE
The following suggestions represent a step-by-step plan to assist
your receptivity to the power of manifesting in your life. If put into
86
Manifest Your Destiny
practice, there will be no doubt of your feeling worthy of the benefi-
cence of the divine, all-embracing spirit. The word “inspiration” literally means “to be infused with spirit. ”
In spirit, if you will. Practice doing what you love and loving what you do each day. If
you are going to do something, then give yourself the benefit of not
complaining about it and, instead, loving the activity. Your theme
here is “I love what I do and I do what I love. ” This puts you “in
spirit” and literally provides you with the enthusiasm for being a
worthy recipient of God’s grace. The word enthusiasm comes from
the Greek root entheos, literally, “to be filled with God. ”
Make every effort to remove internal habits of pessimism, negativ-
ity, judgment, complaints, gossip, cynicism, resentment and fault-
finding from your vocabulary and your inner dialogue. Replace
these with optimism, love, acceptance, kindness and peace as your
way of processing your world and the people in it. Regardless of how much you may be tempted to go back to the cyn-
ical habits, remind yourself that this is the energy that you are
putting out into the world, and it sends a message of blockage to the
energy that would return what you desire to you. If you are filled
with negativity, you are out of balance and your resentments indi-
cate that you do not feel worthy or ready to accept the loving energy
that you desire. Give yourself quiet time each day to erase feelings of unworthiness. This time of prayer or meditation or just experiencing silence will
nourish your soul and will eventually remove any doubts about you
not deserving to be the beneficiary of the universe’s abundance. 87
WAYNE W. DYER
Read spiritual literature and poetry, and listen to soothing classical
music whenever possible. I have found that simply reading the
poetry of Walt Whitman, or Rabindranath Tagore, or Rumi puts
everything into a more sacred perspective for me. It is like doing one’s spiritual homework to read the great teach-
ings of the masters, including the New Testament, A Course in
Miracles, the Torah, the Koran, the Bhagavad Gita. These great
works are a way to become in spirit (inspired) and to dissolve
doubts about your deserving to materialize in your life what you
desire. This beautiful poem from Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet is an exam-
ple of such literature. I include it here for you to study. Pay partic-
ular attention to the words “Your hearts know in silence the
secrets of the days and nights” and “For the soul walks upon all
paths. ” These are the thoughts I have been emphasizing through-
out this book in encouraging you to know your own divine wor-
thiness. On Self-Knowledge
FROM The Prophet BY KAHLIL GIBRAN (1923)
And a man said, Speak to us on self-knowledge. And he answered, saying:
Your hearts know in silence the secrets of
the days and nights. But your ears thirst for the sound
of your hearts’ knowledge. You would know in words that which
you would have always known
in thought. You would touch with your fingers
the naked body of your dreams. 88
Manifest Your Destiny
And it is well you should. The hidden well-spring of your soul must
needs rise and run
murmuring to the sea;
And the treasure of your infinite depths
would be revealed to your eyes. But let there be no scales to weigh your
unknown treasure;
And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or
sounding line. For self is a sea boundless and measureless. Say not, “I have found the truth,” but rather,
“T have found a truth. ”
Say not, “I have found the path of the soul. ”
Say rather, “I have met the soul walking
upon my path. ”
For the soul walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does
it grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of
countless petals. Allow yourself to be surrounded by things of beauty as much as pos-
sible. I am writing these words on Marco Island in southwest Florida. Each evening I leave my typewriter and go out to the beach and
experience the magnificence of the sun setting over the Gulf of
Mexico. Each time I participate in this daily ritual I am filled with
awe at the enormous energy that is involved in moving the earth
once more in its orbital relationship to the sun. I breathe in this
energy and feel thankful for being a part of all this beauty. To be a part of this sunset each evening fills me with a sense of a
home beyond this planet and opens me up to the deeper nature
within myself. I could never feel unworthy of the grace and munifi-
89
WAYNE W. DYER
cence of the universe when J am immersed in such beauty. It is the
same with virtually any experience of beauty—it has a tendency to
remove the doubt about your own divinity and connection to the
ultimate truth that is in everything and everyone. Practice kindness toward yourself and others as frequently as pos-
sible. Give up your need to be right and win in favor of being kind and
you will soon know the bliss of inner peace. Remember, it is your
highest self that only wants peace. When you are practicing kind-
ness, peace shows up right on schedule. When you are at peace with
yourself and your world, you know that you are a worthy recipient
of all that comes your way. You begin to trust in the energy that
brings the fulfillment of your desires. When you are in turmoil and consequently preoccupied with
winning and defeating, you are at the mercy of your ego, which
loves the confusion. All of the inner confusion keeps you wonder-
ing about yourself and your own value in comparison to others. This brings in the doubt about your worthiness to receive and
manifest. Make it your own special mission to be kind to others each day at
least once, and to extend the same privilege to yourself as much as
possible. You always have a choice in how your inner self is going to
react. The choice of guilt, worry, fear or judgment is nothing more
than a thought transferred to your physiology. When your physical
self is imbalanced with these emotions, you become too sick and
too unhappy to even think about participating in the act of co-
creating a blissful life. You sabotage yourself, and all because of an
unwillingness to be kind to yourself and to others. Begin to process the universe as a friendly rather than an unfriendly
place. Place all of your wounds from the earlier stages of your life
90
Manifest Your Destiny
into the category “Lessons for Life. ” Stop leading with those
wounds and making them your badge of identification. Disengage yourself from the attitude of this being an evil world
filled with evil people, and, beginning today, look for the good in
people you meet. Remember, for every act of evil there are a mil-
lion acts of kindness. This universe runs on the energy of harmony
and balance. Breathe in that energy and breathe out those ideas of
your being life’s victim. All of the attachment to your traumas cre-
ates a cellular toxicity in your body, and a spiritual poisoning of your
soul,
Say it over and over until it registers: “I am what I am and I am
worthy of the abundance that is the universe and all that is in it,
including me. ”
You are now on a path of knowing you are worthy of attracting and
manifesting in your world. You are aware of your highest self. You
trust in yourself and the divine wisdom that created you. You know
that you are not separate from your environment and that the power
to attract is within you. The next principle involves the energy of love and how important
it is to know and experience it in all of your being before you begin
applying the last three principles of manifestation. 91

Bark is used to treat
heart disease in IndiaTerminalia arjuna (Combretaceae)
ArjunArjun
An evergreen tree reaching 100 ft (30 m), with pale yellow flowers and cone-shaped leaves. Arjun is a handsome evergreen tree. Its
bark is prescribed to help heart and circulation problems. Habitat & Cultivation
Arjun is found throughout most
of the Indian subcontinent, from  Sri Lanka to the foothills of the Himalayas. It thrives in wet, marshy areas and on riverbanks. The tree is grown from seed and the bark  is cut in late winter. Related Species
A number of other Terminalia species are also used medicinally, notably beleric myrobalan and chebulic myrobalan (T. belerica and T. chebula,  p. 275). Both are close relatives of arjun and are among the most used herbal medicines in India. Key Constituents
■ Tannins
■ Triterpenoid saponins
■ Flavonoids
■ Phytosterols
Key Actions
■ Cardiac tonic
■ Lowers blood pressure
■ Reduces cholesterol levelsResearch
■ Cardiac tonic Research has
been going on into arjun in India
since the 1930s. The results have been highly conflicting, with some studies indicating that it increases heart rate and blood pressure, and others suggesting the reverse. It seems that the herb is best used
to treat conditions where the blood supply to the heart is poor, for example in ischemic heart disease and angina. In a 2002 clinical trial  in India, 58 men with angina were given arjun. Results were very positive, with those taking arjun experiencing a marked reduction  in angina symptoms and an increased capacity to exercise. ■ Cholesterol Indian research has
demonstrated that arjun reduces blood cholesterol levels. Traditional &
Current Uses
■ Traditional heart remedy
In Indian herbal medicine, arjun has
always been taken as a heart tonic. It has a long history of treating heart failure and edema (a condition in which fluid accumulates in the ankles and legs because the heart is not pumping adequately). ■ Ayurvedic medicine Ayurvedic
physicians use arjun to restore balance when any of the 3 humors, kapha, pitta, or vata  (see p. 37), is present in
excess. As a decoction, the bark is given to treat diarrhea and dysentery. Powdered bark is part of a traditional Ayurvedic treatment for asthma. Arjun is also given in Ayurveda for bile duct problems, as well as for poisoning and scorpion stings. ■ Modern heart remedy Arjun is

Thyme, Garden Thyme
Habitat & Cultivation
Thyme is a cultivated variety of the
wild thyme ( T. serpyllum, p. 276) of
southern Europe and is now grown
worldwide. It is raised from seed or
by root division in spring and prefers
light, chalky soils. The aerial parts are
harvested in summer. Related Species
There are many Thymus  species, each
with a different volatile oil content. Wild thyme ( T. serpyllum, p. 276) is
often used in the same way as thyme. Key Constituents
■ Volatile oil (mostly thymol
 and carvacrol)
■ Flavonoids
■ Phenolic acids
Key Actions
■ Antiseptic
■ Tonic
■ Relieves muscle spasms
■ Expectorant
■ Expels worms
■ AntioxidantResearch
■ Volatile oil  Thyme’s volatile oil is
strongly antiseptic—the constituent
thymol, in particular, is a most
effective antifungal. The oil is also
expectorant and it expels worms. ■ Anti-aging  Research in the 1990s
in Scotland suggests that thyme and its
volatile oil have a markedly tonic
effect, supporting the body’s normal
function and countering the effects
of aging. More recent research
indicates that thyme is strongly
anti oxidant and may help maintain
higher levels of essential fatty acids
within the brain. ■ Stomach ulcers  Extracts of
the herb have shown strong
antibacterial activity against H. pylori,
a bacterium often associated with
stomach ulcers. ■ Menstrual pain  Many compounds
within thyme relieve muscle cramps. A 2014 Iranian clinical trial compared
the ability of thyme and ibuprofen
to relieve period pains. The findings
showed both treatments to
be effective. Traditional &
Current Uses
■ Infections  The antiseptic and
tonic properties of thyme make it a
useful tonic for the immune system in
chronic, especially fungal, infections, as
well as an effective remedy for throat
and chest infections. ■ Asthma & hay fever  Thyme
is prescribed with other herbs for
asthma, especially in children. Its
invigorating qualities balance the
sedative effect of many herbs used
for asthma. Thyme is also helpful
in hay fever.Thyme
An aromatic shrub
growing to 16 in
(40 cm), with woody

treat worms in children. ■ External uses  Applied to the
skin, thyme relieves bites and stings,
and is used for sciatica and rheumatic
pains. It helps ringworm, athlete’s foot,
thrush, and other fungal infections,
as well as scabies and lice. Thyme
infusion and diluted oil are also
massaged into the scalp to encourage
hair growth and reverse hair loss.Thyme’s pink flowers attract bees in

108), upside down
in a paper bag, or suspended over a tray (see
drying seeds below). If the stems are fleshy, dry
as for large flowers, above. Fruit & Berries
Harvest fruit and berries in early autumn when
ripe but still firm. If left to become over-ripe,
they may not dry properly. They can be picked
individually or in bunches. ■ Place berries or fruit on absorbent paper on
trays. Put in a warmed oven (turned off) with the
door ajar for 3–4 hours. Move to a dry, warm, dark
site and turn occasionally. Discard any moldy
berries or fruit.Brightly colored petals indicate high levels of
active constituents. A drying rack for herbs can be simply made by covering a
wooden frame with wire mesh.Roots, Rhizomes, T ubers, & Bulbs
The underground parts of the plant are usually
gathered in autumn after the aerial parts have
withered or become inactive and before the soil
is waterlogged or frozen. Many roots may also
be collected in early spring before the aerial parts
begin to grow. Dig deeply around the root, prying
it out of the ground. Some tap roots are difficult to
uproot completely. Remove the required amount
and replant the remaining root. ■ Shake off any soil and wash thoroughly in warm
water, removing any small, unwanted side roots
or damaged soft spots. Chop into small slices or
pieces with a sharp knife. ■ Spread out the root pieces on absorbent paper
on a tray and place in a warmed oven (turned off)
with the door ajar for 2–3 hours. Move to a warm
place until dry. Seeds
Collect ripe seed pods, capsules, or flowering
stems in late summer before the seeds have
been scattered. ■ For tiny seeds, hang small bunches of seedheads
upside down over a paper-lined tray, or place in a
paper bag. Allow to dry and gently shake. Remove
larger seeds by hand when dry. Sap & Gel
Only harvest sap from your own garden. Collect
sap in the spring as it rises, or as it falls in the
autumn. Trees such as silver birch ( Betula pendula,
p. 178) produce huge quantities of sap if tapped,
although this reduces the tree’s vitality. Bore a deep
hole into the trunk—no more than a quarter of
its diameter—and place a collecting cup under
the hole. In spring, quarts of sap may be
produced, and it is essential to stop the hole
with resin or wood filler after about a quart (liter)
of fluid has been removed. Collect milky juices or
latex from plants such as dandelion ( Taraxacum
officinale, p. 141) by squeezing the stems over a
bowl. Wear gloves, because latex or sap can be corrosive. The gel from aloe vera ( Aloe vera, p. 60)
is scraped out after slicing the leaf lengthwise and
peeling back the edges. Bark
Only harvest bark from your own shrubs
or trees as it carries the risk of losing the whole
plant through overstripping or “ringing” (removing
a whole band of bark). It is best to collect bark
from outlying branches, which can then be pruned
back. If stripping bark from a plant, gather it in
autumn when the sap is falling. Remove insects,
lichen, and moss from the bark, cut it into small
pieces, and place it on a tray to dry. Other Ways to Preserve Herbs
Apart from simply air-drying herbs, there are a
number of other ways to preserve their medicinal
benefits. Dehumidifying
An effective but expensive way to dry herbs is to
use a dehumidifier, which literally sucks water out
of the plant. The dehumidifier should be placed
in a more or less sealed small room in which the
herbs are hung in loose bunches or placed on
mesh trays. Freeze-drying
Freeze-drying retains color and flavor but is more
suited to culinary than to medicinal herbs. Whole
sprigs of herbs can be frozen in plastic bags. There
is no need to defrost before use as the leaves
crumble easily when still frozen. Chickweed ( Stellaria
media, p. 272) can also be frozen and used topically
for itchy and weeping skin conditions. Many plants
may be juiced ( see p. 297), frozen as ice cubes, and
thawed as required. Microwaving
It is possible to dry herbs in a microwave oven,
though this is not recommended. The cut parts
should be spread out on kitchen paper and dried
in the microwave according to the manufacturer’s
guidelines. US_288-289_Harvesting_And_Processing.indd   289 26/02/16   4:43 pm
290medicinal properties. Infusions should be made
fresh each day and decoctions must be consumed within 48 hours. Store both in a refrigerator or cool place. Tinctures and other liquid preparations, such as syrups and essential oils, need to be stored in dark glass bottles in a cool environment away from sunlight, but can be kept for a number of months or years. Ointments, creams, and capsules are best kept in dark glass jars, although plastic containers are also acceptable. See also Storing Herbs, p. 288.herbal remedies for home usewith boiled water and dry in a hot oven or wash
in a dishwasher. Proper sterilization maintains hygiene and prevents remedies, especially creams and syrups, from becoming moldy. Weights & Measures
For most purposes, ordinary kitchen scales are
suitable, although electronic scales are more accurate. Metric measurements of grams and liters are generally much easier to use than imperial measures when making remedies. If it is difficult to weigh a small quantity, such as 10 g, on your scales, measure double the weight; i.e., 20 g, then halve the quantity. Liquids can be measured
in a kitchen measuring jug, although conical or straight-sided glass measures are more accurate. Very small volumes of liquid can be measured in drops (see Measuring Remedies, right). Storage
Different preparations may be kept for varying
periods of time before they begin to lose their Identification
Before using medicinal plants that have been
collected from the wild, it is essential that they be correctly identified. If in doubt, do not use the herb. The wrong identification of herbs has led to many cases of poisoning. Foxglove leaves (Digitalis purpurea, p. 202), for example, are often mistaken for comfrey (Symphytum officinale, p. 138). Utensils
Use glass, enamel, or stainless steel pots and pans,
wooden or steel knives and spatulas, and plastic or nylon sieves. A wine press is useful for making tinctures. Do not use aluminium utensils, as
this potentially toxic element is easily absorbed
by herbs. Sterilization
All utensils used to make herbal remedies should
be sterilized for at least 30 minutes in a well-diluted sterilizing solution, such as the type used for a baby’s bottle. After soaking, rinse thoroughly Making Herbal Remedies
In the past, medicinal herbs have been made into an extraordinary variety of
formulations—not only infusions, decoctions, and tinctures, but also preparations such as oxymels and elixirs. The following pages give simple step-by-step instructions on making common herbal preparations. Making most types of herbal medicine is not difficult, but it can be time-consuming—if you lack time or equipment, buy ready-made remedies from an herbal supplier (see Buying Herbal Medicines, p. 17). Measuring Remedies
1 ml = 20 drops
5 ml = 1 teaspoon15 ml = 1 tablespoon150 ml = 1 herbal cup250 ml = 1 cup
Never exceed the quantity of herbs used or
the recommended dosage. Although these measurements are approximate, they are accurate enough for most purposes and
are used as standard throughout this book. The number of drops to 1 ml depends on the caliber of the pipette (or size of the dropper tip) being used. This can be checked by counting
the number of drops required to fill a 5 ml measuring spoon (this book assumes that
100 drops is equal to 5 ml) and then adjusting  the drop dosage as necessary. The Basic First Aid Kit

Movie actor Steve McQueen had completely cured his own CANCER using our Metabolic
Program and had made plans to expose and "blow the lid off the cancer racket. " Before he could
accomplish this, he was murdered as only the Establ ishment can do it with all the fanfare and
news media to destroy my program. When this failed, the Establishment’s next plan was  to send a mole or infiltrator into the Kelley
organization so that as close a call as the McQueen  episode could never happen again. A Cornell medical student, Gonzalez, who had failed  after the second year in medical school,
was wandering in and out of the unorthodox medical community looking for help for his own
mental instability and illness. During this fruitle ss search, Gonzalez stumbled onto the Kelley
Program, which he mentioned to his psychiatrist. With the help of his psychoanalyst, Colter Rule, M. D. and wife Betty Gessels, M.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>

town buzzing. Dr. Kelley, an orthodontist, was seei ng cancer patients! Further, the "therapy" he
suggested was largely a matter of altering the diet s of his patients and giving them vitamins and
such! The notion that an individual’s diet might be  a factor in a disease as serious as cancer was
considered absurd, but only slightly less so than t he idea of a dentist working with cancer
patients in any capacity. The scandal instigated by  this article was the first I remember. Unfortunately, it was not the last. My father became involved in cancer research first as a patient. In the early 1960’s life in this
family was relatively normal. At that time, we live d in Midland, the tumbleweed capital of
Texas. Dad was practicing orthodontics, and his pra ctice was thriving. He belonged to the local
country club, the school board, and the Church of C hrist. In his spare time, he indulged his
passion for "tinkering" by restoring antique cars. His pride and joy was named Twinkles, a 1923
Cadillac that ran like a top in response to his dil igent and loving care. I would like to think that my father, given a choic e, would not have changed much in his life. However, he wasn’t given the option. Dad became ill in 1963, and critically so by 1967. The physicians he saw in Midland and Odessa
couldn’t find anything physiologically wrong with h im for quite some time. The fact that he was
ill was undeniably apparent; he was so weak, he fou nd it necessary to lie down at the office
between seeing patients. After he suffered what app eared to be two heart attacks, a diagnosis was
finally made. The situation, I have been told, was as follows. He had cancer of the pancreas and
liver. As is usually the case, the malignancy was i n its final stages at the time of diagnosis. The
doctor refused to operate, saying Dad would die on the table. He should "get his affairs in order"
quickly; he could expect to live only a few months. The doctor took my mother aside to tell her
that, in his opinion, two months was a more realist ic time frame. One of the many reasons cancer is such an effective  killer is its ability to destroy completely the
individual’s will to live. The patient suffers over whelming pain, and his prognosis is rarely very
optimistic. Any strength he might possess to combat  the disease is soon exhausted, and death
ceases to be viewed as something to be avoided. In death, the pain will be gone. The patient will
no longer be forced to face the people he loves and  the sorrow his suffering has brought them. Death becomes a friend, not an adversary. My mother  and grandmother Kelley have told me
stories of how terrible a thing it was to watch. Unfortunately (or very fortunately), my mother had some more unpleasant news for him. Mom
has always had a real talent with a credit card. Du e to the fact that we were living heavily in debt,
she had quietly allowed Dad’s life insurance to lap se. His death would leave his wife and three
young daughters destitute. I imagine Dad was very angry. He had come to terms with dying, but this news surely obliterated
any peace of mind he might have attained. At some p oint, he made the decision to do whatever
he could to live. I don’t know from what source he found the strength to attempt the impossible. Maybe his anger provided the motivation. (After all, if he died, he wouldn’t be able to kill my
mom!) Instead of tinkering with Twinkles, Dad now began t inkering with himself. The doctors had
offered him no hope and no help; his only option wa s to take his case into his own hands. He
wasn’t overly armed for the fight; one of his degre es is in biochemistry, and he knew of several
people conducting innovative research in natural he aling. His illness was so severe that, by trial
and error, he was able to determine quickly what su bstances (food, vitamins, and/or minerals)
swung the pendulum of his well being in what direct ion. Virtually everything the rest of the
family ate would make him wretchedly ill. I remembe r sitting down to fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy while dad dined on vile-smelling  liver. My sisters and I didn’t understand
why he was eating this way; no one told us he was d ying. Anyway, Dad must have done something right. Two mon ths came and went, and the next four
followed suit. During this time (and for sometime a fter, to be sure), Dad was critically ill; and for
the purposes of this paper and its space limitation, I have greatly simplified the things he did to
get well. But the bottom line is still the same; he  didn’t die. Word got around — boy did it get around! The parent s of Dad’s orthodontic patients started
asking him for advice about their ills and those of  their loved ones. And Dad naively dispensed
it. I don’t believe it ever occurred to him to do o therwise. Many of those asking his advice were
friends or, at least, people he knew. He simply tol d them what he had done to help himself. He
had "been there" and knew first hand the agony a ca ncer patient experiences. Here were people
in desperate need of help. If he knew something tha t might ease their pain at all, he felt it was his
moral duty to tell them. And many of those who did what he said got well. People came to see Dr. Kelley in increasing numbers, and they weren’t looking to have braces
put on their kids’ teeth. Since he had to earn a li ving for his family but still felt a moral
obligation to help anyone he could, he wrote a slim  booklet in 1969 entitled One Answer To
Cancer. In it was the story of his personal encounter with  malignancy and the theoretical
explanation of the procedures he used in getting we ll. After the publication of One Answer To Cancer, things really started to happen. As you might
imagine, the American Medical Association, the Stat e Board of Dental Examiners, and a host of
other health-oriented organizations began to get ho stile. He endured a great deal of persecution
during this time, and found himself in quite a dile mma. On one hand, the number of individuals
seeking his help was ever increasing; on the other,  charges of
