ral valve of the heart
and pain in my shoulder. 1 also had an accident of being infected with a needle
from a patient with AIDS. I began to take my own urine and fasted for four days
and after the third fast of four days, the cysts of the bust disappeared. The problems of the heart faded with no future pain. I have never had problems with the infected needle accident of the H.I.V. I must mention that my examinations are completely negative. I have recovered my health, thanks to God. f promised to God to present this therapy to as many people as possible
without any interest of profit. As a result of this fact,
I began to distribute conferences all over the Mexican Republic,
without receiving a cost for admission
I make this with love to so many of my Mexican Brothers and Sisters
and worldwide friends. Within my experiences in the conferences
I have had attendance that vary between 500 to 2500 people. My eyes saw something very important. AU my brothers and sisters are ill who come to my conferences. I have requested them to raise their hand who are patients under medical
treatment. ft is incredible the amount of ill people. AU raise their hands. My question is how would it be in this world if all would have this knowledge of
urine therapy? I thank God for this knowledge and I request him to bless all
who are sick as he gave me when giving me my good health. By feedback, I successfully obtained an endless amount of testimonies from
thousands of people who have cured themselves and others who have shown
remarkable improvement in different diseases. Incredible information, began to arrive from different parts of the world. There where different book authors in all languages, sending such valuable
information here in Mexico. I have information from France, Italy, Germany,
Japan, India, USA, Nicaragua, Cuba, Spain, and Brazil with testimonies of
incredible and wonderful treatments with the therapy of the urine. My Internet site brought 34.000 pages of interesting and abundant information
that speak of the urinary therapy and that thanks to God are curing many people
only and nothing more but taking its own urine. 66 TESTIMONY #1 *

I am 47 years of age and I had 5 children. f thank God for the knowledge of the Urine-therapy. I want to give my testimony by this means to aU people
of how 1 am and how 1 cured myself. 1n the year of 1980,
I had a very hard automobile accident. They needed to remove one organ from my body. From that day on I was very sick. In the year of 1993, near the month of July, after passing by a very sad situation
of two brothers who died I also had other medical problems. I began to suffer depression, headaches and neck, cramps in the hands and feet. J also felt strong palpitations in my heart. My eyes were becoming deformed. They were swollen and bulging. There were nights that I could not sleep and was
suffered from the insomnia. I began to lose weight. I felt that I was drowning. I could not go to the bathroom alone. I was always very thirsty. 1 have a brother who is a doctor and began to give me medicine. He gave me liquid prescription but it did not help me. He had to commit me to the hospital where he works until midnight. There they gave me several medicines and they did several exams. The Doctors of the hospital told me my Thyroid gland was not working properly. Tablets were prescribed for me and I was taking them over a year. I improved a little, but when taking the tablets, I was nervous and I trembled. They sent me to a second hospital with a specialist to see if she could cure this
disease. The pressure started when a ball in the neck started growing. I no longer could take the medical drugs. From this hospital they sent me to a third hospital. There they gave me nuclear medicine. It was iodine-radioactive for which I felt much fatigue and several different
symptoms. I was isolated. I was without strength. I felt only that I wanted to lay down. I went again to the Doctor, after 15 days,
because the symptoms had no improvement. The doctor said that I was to continue taking the medicine. I felt that the iodine had not served me well and became very sick followed by
throat problems and bronchitis. I took 6 to 8 daiJy medicines. My kidneys began to hurt and I no longer knew if I should continue to take the
medicine. One day my husband took me to the hospital for a checkup and now,
they detected a tumor in the bust. 1 worried more because my body was filling with diseases. 67 One day, in the month of May of 95, they invited me to witness with a notary, for
writings. I was accompanied by my neighbors and friends. That day a neighbor said that urine was good for all diseases and that it was in
the Bible. In PROVERBS 5 to see 15-18. On the following day I began to take only
a Uttle with water, because I did not know how to take it. When I began to take urine I had bronchitis. I was taking medicine for the thyroids and also antibiotic for my other problems.,
I followed with the urine. Soon the moment arrived that the drugs made me sick. Little by little I was leaving the medicine, I did not have further indications of
problems, nor did I have need to go to the Doctors conference. After 3 months in 1997, arrived in my hands a report that I was cured from my
problems. It was when I began with my urine fasts. Later I had the opportunity to go to a conference. I am cured of the thyroids and I
no longer have the ball in the neck, or feel very depressed. No longer volumes of medicines and the cyst in the bust disappeared. The varicose veins in the legs are gone. Already I can see without glasses. I want aff the people to know of this wise knowledge so that all people will be
healed and without spending money. 1t is on1y needed prayers of thanks to God and his water the 1ife. TESTIMONY 2*

PART ONE
One afternoon I dropped into the Travelers Club to escape
a sudden shower, and while seated in an easy chair waiting for
it to clear up I fell into a conversation with a most interesting
old gentleman; one who, although I did not know it then, was
destined to change the whole course of my life. I call him an
old man for that is exactly what he was. In his late sixties,
he looked every year his age. He was thin and stooped, and
when he walked leaned heavily on his cane. It developed that he was a retired British army officer,
who had likewise seen service in the diplomatic corps of the
Crown. There were few accessible places on the globe to which
Colonel Bradford, as I shall call him, although that was not his
true name, had not, at some time or other in his life, paid a
visit, and warming under my attention he related incidents in
his travels which were highly entertaining. Needless to say I
spent an interesting and profitable afternoon listening to him. This was some years ago. We met often after that and got
along famously. Many evenings, either at his quarters or at
mine, we discussed and discoursed until long past midnight. It was on one of these occasions 1 became possessed of a
feeling that Colonel Bradford wanted to tell me something of
importance. Something close to his heart which was difficult
for him to talk about. By using all the tact and diplomacy at
my command I succeeded in making him understand that I
should be happy to help him in any way possible, and that if he
cared to tell me what was on his mind I would keep it in strict
confidence. Slowly at first, and then with increased trust
he began to talk. While stationed in India some years ago, Colonel Bradford,
from time to time, came in contact with wandering natives
from the remote fastnesses of the country. He heard many
interesting tales of the life and customs of the country. One
story, which interested him strangely, he heard quite a number
of times, and always from natives who inhabited a particular
—3—district. Those from the other districts seemed never to have
heard it. It concerned a group of Lamas or Tibetan priests who,
apparently, had discovered “The Fountain of Youth. ” The
natives told of old men who had mysteriously regained health
and strength, vigor and virility shortly after entering a certain
Lamasery; but where this particular place was none seemed
exactly to know. Like so many other men, Colonel Bradford had become old
at 40, and had not been getting any younger as the years
rolled by. Now the more he heard this tale of “The Fountain
of Youth” the more he became convinced that such a place and
such men actually existed. He began to gather information
on directions, character of the country, climate, and various
other tid-bits that might help him locate the spot; for from
then on there dwelt in the back of his mind a desire to find
this “Fountain of Youth. ”
This desire, he told me, had now grown so powerful that he
had determined to return to India and start in earnest a quest
for the retreat of these young-old men; and he wanted me to
go with him. Frankly, by the time he had finished telling me
this fantastic story I, too, was convinced of its truth, and was
half-tempted to join him, but finally decided against it. Soon he departed, and I consoled myself for not going with
the thought that perhaps one should be satisfied to grow old
gracefully; that perhaps the Colonel was wrong in trying to
get more out of life than was vouchsafed to other men. And
yet—a Fountain of Youth. What a thrilling idea it was. For
his own sake I hoped that the old Colonel might find it. Months passed. In the press of every-day affairs Colonel
Bradford and his “Shangri-La” had grown dim in my memory,
when one evening on returning to my apartment, there was a
letter in the Colonel’s own hand-writing. He was still alive. The letter seemed to have been written in joyous desperation. In it he said that in spite of maddening delays and set-backs
he actually was on the verge of finding the “Fountain. ” He
gave no address. It was more months before I heard from him again. This
time he had good news. He had found the “Fountain of
Youth”. Not only that but he was bringing it back to the
States with him, and would arrive within the next two months. Practically four years had elapsed since I had last seen the old
man. Would he have changed any, I wondered. He was older,of course, but perhaps no balder, although his stoop might
have increased a little. Then the startling idea came to me
that perhaps this “Fountain of Youth’ might really have
helped him. But in my mind’s eye I could not picture him dif-
ferently than ] had seen him last, except perhaps a little older. One evening I decided to stay at home by myself and catch
up on my reading, maybe write a few letters. I had just set-
tled down to comfortable reading when the telephone rang. “A Colonel Bradford to see you, sir,” said the desk clerk. “Send him up,” I shouted, and casting the book aside I
hastened to the door. For a moment I stared, and then with
dismay I saw that this was not Colonel Bradford but a much
younger person. Noting my surprise the man said, “Weren’t you expecting
me. ”
“No,” I confessed. “I thought it would be an old friend of
mine, a Colonel Bradford. ”
“I came to see you about Colonel Bradford, the man you
were expecting,” he answered. “Come in,” I invited. “Allow me to introduce myself,” said the stranger, entering. “My name is Bradford. ”
“Oh, you are Colonel Bradford's son,” I exclaimed. “I have
often heard him speak of you. You resemble him somewhat. ”
“No, I am not my son,” he returned. “I am none other than
your old friend, Colonel Bradford, the old man who went away
to the Himalayas. ”
1 stood in incredulous amazement at his statement. Then it
slowly dawned upon me that this really was the Colonel Brad-
ford whom I had known; but what a change had taken place
in his appearance. Instead of the stooped, limping, sallow old
gentleman with a cane, he was a tall, straight, ruddy-com-
plexioned man in the prime of life. Even his hair, which had
grown back, held no trace of gray. My enthusiasm and curiosity knew no bounds. Soon I was
plying him with questions in rapid-fire order until he threw up
his hands. “Wait, wait,” he protested, laughingly. “I shall start at the
beginning and tell you al] that has happened. ” And this he
proceeded to do. Upon arriving in India the Colonel started directly for the
district in which lived the natives who had told of “The
Fountain of Youth. ” Fortunately, he knew quite a bit of their
—s5—language. He spent several months there, making friends
with the people and picking up all the information he could
about the Lamasery he sought. It was a long, slow process,
but his shrewdness and persistence finally brought him to the
coveted place he had heard about so often but only half-
believed existed. Colonel Bradford’s account of what transpired after being
admitted to the Lamasery sounded like a fairy tale. I only
wish that time and space permitted me to set down here all of
his experiences; the interesting practices of the Lamas, their
culture, and their utter indifference to the work-a-day world. There were no real old men there. To his surprise the Lamas
considered Colonel Bradford a quite novel sight, for it had been
a long time since they had seen anyone who looked as old as he. The Lamas good-naturedly referred to the Colonel as “The
Ancient One. ”
“For the first two weeks after I arrived,” said the Colonel, “I
was like a fish out of water. I marveled at everything I saw,
and at times could hardly believe what my eyes beheld. I soon
felt much better, was sleeping like a top every night, and only
used my cane when hiking in the mountains. “A month after I arrived I received the biggest surprise of
my life. In fact, I was quite startled. It was the day I entered
for the first time, a large, well-ordered room which was used
as a kind of library for ancient manuscripts. At one end of
the room was a full-length mirror. It had been over two years
since I had last seen my reflection so with great curiosity I
stepped in front of the glass. “] stared in amazement, so changed was my appearance. It
seemed that J had dropped 15 years from my age. It was my
first intimation that I was growing younger; but from then on
I changed so rapidly that it was apparent to all who knew me


 seeing life in this way makes rules irrelevant. You can act
in accor dance with this munificence and beneficence, which are the essence
of the Tao. Make love the bedrock of your family ’s motivation to be loving,
rather than just feeling obligated to be kind to others. This doesn’ t mean
there isn’t certain etiquette or behavior to follow—it means that the reason
to do so is so that love and kindness flow through all individuals. And if
there is any “crime,” it’s the stopping or hindering of that energy of the Tao.You and your children can learn to change the way you look at edicts and
laws. When harm ony is lost, a rule may seem to be helpful, but make sure
everyone in the family realizes  that you’re inviting them to learn to live
without it! The existence of codes of conduct are proof that we aren’ t
allowing the Tao to flow freely  through our lives. Learning that it is each
individual’ s personal responsibility to live without governing will
ultimately demo nstrate that when you change your thoughts, you change
your life. This idea extends further: Ask yourself if laws create a healthy society,
and if patriotism is valuable. Or does it appear that when a country has
fallen into chao s or some form  of civil war, laws and codes concerning
patriotism seem to need to be enforced? Rules are created to impose
penalties to control or govern people who haven’ t learned their individual
responsibility as a part of the wholeness of the group. Yet a national sense
of unity  needn’ t regulate a universal sense, for the Tao oneness is greater
than any group on Earth. So here we have a summary of what takes place when the Great Way is
deserted: The need for justice arises. Falsity among the people creates a
need for rules, and rulers are needed to restore order. Politic al ministers
appear to bring light to the disorder and darkness. Knowing all of this, I
believe it’s essential to get back to that picture I asked you to envision a few
paragraphs ago and apply what Lao-tzu is saying in this profound verse of
the T ao Te Ching: 18th V erse
Let your actions arise fr om your T ao-center ed heart. When you’re centered in the Tao, you don’t need any rules, nor are you
bound by what’ s declared to be legal or illegal. Your reason for not stealing
from others isn’t because it’s against the law; rather, you assume personal
responsibility for your actions. Your life isn’t based on living by rules; your
reason for not stealing is that you respect the rights of others to be free from
pilfering because it resonates with the Tao. In the Tao there is no stealing
because everyth ing belongs to everyone. There is no ownership of land or
property—there is only the willingness to love and respect every one and all
things. The laws making stealing, maiming, or fighting illegal arose because
of disconnection from the T ao.Don’t act virtuous; be virtue. Acting virtuous is not the same as being virtuous, so the Tao instructs you
to be authentic in all of your interactions. Be pious because your own heart
feels the piety that is the great Tao. Be spontaneously generous to others
because your inner calling demands it, not because others in their code
making have determined that this is how you should behave. Don’ t wait for
chaos to erupt before you are generous and kind to others. A natural disaster
may stimulate your desire to reach out and help your fellow humans—yet if
you change the way you look at that natural disaster, you could also see it as
a remind er to let the Tao be your guiding spirit at all times. This would
inspire your patriotism to be for all of humanity, rather than confined to the
land where you happened to be born. Again, I’d like to remind you of the similar sentiment expressed by Hafiz,
the great Sufi poet:
Everyone
Is God speaking. Why not be polite and
Listen to
Him? And everyone really means everyone, not just those who are subject to
your rules and your laws. Do the T ao Now
Emphasize why you’re obeying human-made edicts today. Spend some
time connecting to the underlying reason for stopping at a red light, having
a driver ’s license, wearing a seat belt, paying to enter a movie theater, or not
drinking and driving. See if your ego enjoys “breaking” rules for its
purposes by listing all the rules and laws you obey or disobey in one day,
and then identify your most important “heart rules.”

Without Attachment
Upon first reading this 19th verse of the Tao Te Ching, it appears that
Lao-tzu is encouraging us to abandon the highest principles of the Tao. Renounce sainthood, wisdom, morality, justice, industry, and profit, says
the great sage, and all will be well. Lao-tzu tells us that “all of these are
outward forms alone” and are insuf ficient for living according to the highest
Way. The first of these categories represents education and the way you look at
your sources of learning. This verse advises you to alter your concept of
being saintly just because you follow the teachings of an organized religion,
and to change your view of self-importance because of degrees you’ve
received from an educational institution. Lao-tzu gently informs you that
it’s far more valuable to cultivate your true nature. As with virtually all of the teachings of the Tao, the greatest trust is placed
in your accessing the sacred Tao center of yourself. Within you lies a piece
of God that instinctively knows what to do and how to be. Trust yourself,
Lao-tzu advises, and reevaluate the ultimate importance of educational and
religious institut ions. When you modify how you see them, you’ll notice
that the true essence of you is “a hundred times better for everyone.” Lao-
tzu might say that a truth is a truth until you or ganize it, and then it becomes
a lie. Why?<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

The supr eme good is like water,

Q: What is the ultimate goal of the Tao, according to Lao-tzu?,
A: Fulfillment is attained through selfless action.
Q: What is the author trying to convey in the 10th verse of the Tao Te Ching?,
A: The author is emphasizing the importance of embracing the oneness with everyone and everything, and recognizing that you are not just your physical body.
Q: What is the key to success, according to the 12th verse of the Tao Te Ching?,
A: The key to success is not trying to accumulate wealth, status, or power, but rather trusting in the eternal principle and the constant flow of the Tao.
Q: What is the author suggesting in the 14th verse of the Tao Te Ching?,
A: The author is advising to change one's perspective and trust in the natural order of the Tao, and to recognize that you are not just your ego, but a part of the universe.
Q: What is the author's message in the 19th verse of the Tao Te Ching?,
A: The author is advising to renounce the outward forms of sainthood, wisdom, morality, justice, industry, and profit, and instead cultivate one's true nature and trust in the sacred Tao center within.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Because the purposes of the organization begin to take
precedence over that which it first attempted to keep in order. “Throw away morality and justice,” this verse urges, “and people will do

and	wet	that	I	began	to	shiver	all	over. “I	wish	there	was	some	firewood	or	a	heater,”	I	grumbled. “I	can	offer	you	one	of	two	things,”	said	Baba	again. He	held	out	a	fluffy
white	towel	in	one	hand	and	a	shiny	silver	ring	in	the	other. “Towel,”	I	said,	although	not	as	fast	as	before. I	didn’t	really	want	a	silver
ring,	but	this	one	looked	like	it	might	be	valuable. As	I	dried	myself	off	Baba	said,	“The	soul	does	what	you	just	did. It	pays
attention	to	what	you	really	need. Today	you	needed	an	umbrella,	a	safe
place,	and	a	towel	more	than	you	needed	a	candy	bar,	a	new	pocketknife,	or	a
silver	ring. It’s	easy	to	want	lots	of	things—who	doesn’t? But	to	know	that
your	soul	is	working	on	just	what	you	need—now,	that’s	a	rare	thing	indeed.”

If	you	ask	yourself	“What	do	I	need?”	the	answer	may	seem	simple. Maybe
you	need	supper	because	you’re	hungry,	or	a	little	peace	and	quiet	so	that	you

what	I	would	need	when	I	grew	up	and	had	a	family. Yet	compared	to	DNA,
what	the	soul	must	plan	is	a	thousand	times	more	complicated	because	every
word,	thought,	and	action	counts	as	a	life	unfolds. Your	soul’s	knowledge
applies	to	you	alone,	not	to	anyone	else. DNA	grows	baby	teeth	for
	every

A: There is no single effective treatment, and management relies on controlling increased intracranial pressure, increasing cerebral perfusion, and correcting pulmonary distress.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Although intravenous urea still remains one of the most reliable drugs to combat
acute brain swelling, another osmotic agent, mannitol, has shown fewer complications 135 DMSO in Basic Neuroprotection
in treating head injuries, but its action is half as short as that of urea (about 4 h), plus,
it does not improve brain tissue pO2 in severe head trauma and its effect is not as
dramatic when brain edema is severe.16
A fundamental guide to emergency department management of head injuries at
the present time is ensuring adequate CPP, adequate oxygenation, and preventing even brief or transient episodes of hypotension, hypoxia, seizures, hyperglycemia, and hypocapnia. 17 CPP is a function of ICP and systemic blood pressure, and it must
be monitored and controlled at all times to prevent further structural and functional damager. 18
When severe brain tissue trauma occurs, brain cells respond in a typical manner. The anatomic changes in neurons following trauma have been well studied and con -
sist of cytoplasmic swelling secondary to sodium influx and a failure of membrane ionic regulation. 19 This is followed by characteristic cytoplasmic eosinophilia, severe
loss of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, chromatin clumping, nuclear shrinking with peripheral shifting, and disappearance of axonal microtubules, a phe -
nomenon that generates synaptic dystrophy and neurotransmission failure. 20
Depending on its location and severity, a focal traumatic insult to the brain will
destabilize ischemic neurons by inducing hypoxia, glutamate excitotoxicity, a mas -
sive and disruptive intracellular rise of Ca2+, mitochondrial energy loss, formation
of oxygen and nitric oxide free radicals, and impairment of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis that fuel all brain cells. 21 The biochemical cascade associated with
anatomic changes in ischemic neurons and glial cells is the product of irreversible oxygen


 symmetry, its conformity to itself and
originality from all else —all are a  mystery. You wonder at the miracle of this awesome
display of Nature. Yet if I can  do this with a
single snowflake, what think you I can do —
have done —with the  univer se? Were you to see the symmetry of it, the
perfection of its design —from the largest
body to the smallest particle —you would
not be able to hold the truth of it in your
reality. Even now, as you get glimpses of it,
you cannot yet imagine or understand  its
implications. Yet you can know there are
implications —far more complex and far  more extraordinary than your present
comprehension can embrace. Your
Shakespeare said it wonderfully: There are
more things in Heaven and Earth,  Horatio,
than are dreamt of in your philosophy. Then how can I know these laws? How can
I learn them? It is not a question of learning, but of
remembering. How can I remember them? Begin by being still. Quiet the outer world,
so that the inner world might bring you
sight. This in -sight is what you seek, yet
you cannot have it while you are so deeply
concerned with your outer reality. Seek,
therefore, to go within as much as possible. And when you are not going within, come from within as you deal with the outside
world. Remember this axiom:
If you do not go within, you go without. Put it in the first person as you repeat it, to
make it more personal:
If I do not  go within, I go without. You have been going without all your life. Yet you do not have to, and never did. There is nothing y ou cannot be, there is
nothing you cannot do. There is nothing
you cannot have. That sounds like a pie -in-the-sky promise. What other kind of promise would you have
God make? Would you believe Me if I
promised you less? For thousands of years people have
disbelieved the promises of God for the most  extraordinary reason: they were too
good to be true. So you have chosen a
lesser  promise —a lesser love. For the
highest promise of God proceeds from the
highest  love. Yet you cannot conceive of a
perfect love, an d so a perfect promise is
also inconceivable. As is a perfect person. Therefore,  you cannot believe even in your
Self. Failing to believe in any of this means
failure to believe in God. For belief in God
produces belief in God’s greatest gift —
unconditional  love—and God’s greatest
promise —unlimited potential. May I interrupt you here? I hate to interrupt
God when He’s on a roll...but I’ve heard this
talk of unlimited potential before, and it
doesn’t square with the human experience. Forget the  difficulties e ncountered by the average person —what about the
challenges of those born  with mental or
physical limitations? Is their potential
unlimited? You have written so in your own
Scripture —in many ways and in many
places. Give me one reference. Look to see what y ou have written in
Genesis, chapter 11, verse 6, of your Bible. It says, “And the Lord said, ‘Behold, the
people are one, and they have all one
language;  and this is only the beginning of
what they will do: and now nothing will be
restrained from  them, which they have
imagined to do.’ ”
Yes. Now, can you trust that? That does not answer the question of the
feeble, the infirm, the handicapped, those
who are  limited. Do you think they are limited, as you put it,
not of their choice? Do you imagine that  a
human soul encounters life challenges —
whatever they may be —by accident? Is  this
your imagining? Do you mean a soul chooses what kind of
life it will experience ahead of time? No, that would defeat the purpose of the
encounter. The purpose is to create your
experience —and thus, create your Self —in
the glorious moment of Now. You do  not,
therefore, choose the life you will
experience ahead of time. You may, however, select the persons,
places, and events —the conditions and  circumstances, the challenges and
obstacles, the opportunities and options —
with which to create your experience. You
may select the colors for your palette, the
tools  for your chest, the machinery for your
shop. What you create with these is your
business. That is the busine ss of life. Your potential is unlimited in all that you’ve
chosen to do. Do not assume that a soul
which has incarnated in a body which you
call limited has not reached its full  potential,
for you do not know what that soul was
trying to do. You do not  understand its
agenda. You are unclear as to its intent. Therefore,  bless every person and
condition, and give thanks. Thus,  you affirm
the perfection of God’s creation —and show
your faith in it. For nothing happens by
accident in God’s world, and there is no  such thing as coincidence. Nor is the world
buffeted by random choice, or something
you call fate. If a snowflake is utterly perfect in its design,
do you not think the same could be said
about something as magnificent as your
life? But even Jesus healed the sick. Why would
he heal them if their condition was so
“perfect”? Jesus did not heal those he healed
because he saw their condition as
imperfect. He  healed those he healed
because he saw those souls asking for
healing as part o f their process. He saw t he
perfection of the process. He recognized
and understood  the soul’s intention. Had
Jesus felt that all illness, mental or physical, represented  imperfection, would
he not have simply healed everyone on the
planet, all at once? Do you doubt that he
could do this? No. I believe he could have. Good. Then the mind begs to know: Why
did he not do it? Why would the Christ
choose to have some suffer, and others be
healed? For that matter, why does God
allow any suffering at any time? This
question has been asked before, and the
answer remains the same. There is
perfection in the process —and all life
arises out  of choice. It is not appropriate to
interfere with choice, nor to question it. It is
particularly inappropriate to condemn it. What is appropriate is to observe it, and
then to do whatever might be done to assist  the soul in seeking and making a higher
choice. Be watchful, therefore, of the
choices of others, but not judgmental. Know that their choice is perfect for them in
this moment now —yet stand rea dy to
assist them should the moment come when
they seek a newer choice, a different
choice —a higher choice. Move into communion with the souls of
others, and their purpose, their intention,
will be clear to you. This is what Jesus did
with those he healed —and with all those
whose lives he touched. Jesus healed all
those who came to him, or who sent  others
to him supplicating for them. He did not
perform a random healing. To have  done so
would have been to violate a sacred Law of
the Universe:
Allow each sou l to walk its path. But does that mean we must not help
anyone without being asked? Surely not, or
we would  never be able to help the starving
children of India, or the tortured masses of
Africa, or the  poor, or the downtrodden
anywhere. All humanitarian e ffort would be
lost, all charity  forbidden. Must we wait for
an individual to cry out to us in desperation,
or for a nation of  people to plead for help,
before we are allowed to do what is
obviously right? You see, the question answers itself. If a
thing i s obviously right, do it. But remember
to exercise extreme judgment regarding
what you call “right” and “wrong.”
A thing is only right or wrong because you
say it is. A thing is not right or wrong
intrinsically. It isn’t? “Rightness” or “wrongness” is not an
intrinsic condition, it is a subjective
judgment in  a personal value system. By
your subjective judgments do you create
your Self —by your personal values do you
determine and demonstrate Who You Are. The world exists exactly as it is so that you
may mak e these judgments. If the world
existed in perfect condition, your life
process of Self creation would be
terminated. It  would end. A lawyer’s career
would end tomorrow were there no more
litigation. A  doctor’s career would end
tomorrow were there no more illness. A
philosopher’s  career would end tomorrow
were there no more questions. And God’s career would end tomorrow
were there no more problems! Precisely. You have put it perfectly. We, all
of us, would be through creating were  there
nothing more to create. We, all of us, have
a vested interest in keeping the  game
going. Much


 shunting of much of the power to the internal region produces a feeling of less energy in the muscles, which the mind
interprets as some weakness. Actually, the power is increased, but most of it is being used for rebuilding the more
important organs and less of it is available for muscular work. Any weakness which is felt here is not true weakness, but merely a re-deploying of forces to the more important internal
parts. Here it is important for the person to stop wasting energy, and to rest and sleep more. This is a crucial phase, and if the
person resorts to stimulants of any kind, he will abort and defeat the regenerative intent of the body. It is important that he
have patience and faith here and just wait it out, and after a while he will get increasing strength which will exceed by far
what he felt before he began the new program. Success in recovery or improvement of health hinges upon the correct understanding of this point - realizing  that the body is
using its main energies in more important internal work and not wasting it in external work involving muscle movements. Be
wise - take it easy here and relax. Just coast in your work and social obligations until you're out of the woods. As one continues on the improved diet and gradually raises the food quality, interesting symptoms begin to appear. The
body begins a process called “retracing.”
The cellular intelligence reasons something like this - “Oh! Look at all these fine materials coming in. How wonderful - now
we have a chance to get rid or this old garbage and build a beautiful new house. Let's get started immediately. Let's get this
excess bile out or the liver and gall bladder and send it to the intestines for elimination. Let's get the sludge moving out of
the arteries, veins and capillaries. These smelly, gassy, brain-stupefying masses have been here too long - out with them! These arthritic deposits in the joints need cleaning up! Let's get these irritating food preservatives, aspirins, sleeping pills
and drugs out of the way, along with these other masses of fat which have made life so burdensome for us for so long. Let's
get going till the job is done - till we have a beautiful house - and from there on we'll keep it a beautiful ideal model house." copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648-1500    www.drbass.com 11THE THREE PHASES OF METABOLISM (SUM TOTAL OF BODY FUNCTIONS)
1. During the first phase - called Catabolism  - the accent is on elimination, or breaking down of tissue. The body begins to
clean house - to remove the garbage deposited in all the tissues - everywhere. During this period the body removes the
ashes from the furnace preparatory to getting a better fire. Here the accentuation is on removal of the gross and
immediate body obstructions. Wastes are discarded more rapidly than new tissue is made from the new food. This
becomes evident as weight loss. 2. This persists for awhile and is then followed by the second phase - called Stabilization. Here the weight remains more
or less stable. During this phase, the amount of waste material being discarded daily is equal to the amount of tissue
which is being formed and replaced by the newer, more vital food. This occurs after the excess of obstructing material
in the tissues has been removed. 3. This stage persists for a while and is then followed by a third phase - a building-up period called Anabolism,  wherein
weight starts to go up, even though the diet is lower in calories than it was before. At this point, much or most of the
interfering wastes have already been discarded - the tissues which have been formed since the diet was raised in
quality are more durable and do not break down easily. Also new tissues are now being formed faster. This is due to
the improved assimilation  and increase of enzyme efficiency which resulted from the recuperation of the digestive
mechanism - made possible by the ceasing of wrong food-combining. The body's need for the usual amounts of food
decreases, and we are able to maintain our weight and increased energies with less food. Many are able to function
very efficiently on two meals a day, and eventually even on one meal a day. As the body progressively increases in efficiency and decreases in tissue breakdown under exercise, so do we gradually
need less and less food to maintain life. The higher the percentage of raw food one lives on, the slower the rate of tissue deterioration which one evolves into. A
sick body requires a gradual carefully worked-out entry into this stage - where one is able to live on a 100% unfired (raw)
diet. Returning to the symptoms which occur on a superior nutritional program - people who have had tendencies in the past to
recurring skin rashes or eruptions will frequently tend to eliminate poisons and harmful drugs through the skin with new
rashes or eruptions. If they go to a physician now who is not familiar with this aspect of nutrition, he will diagnose it as an
allergy. They ask. "How come I'm eating better now than I ever did before, and instead I'm getting worse?" They don't understand
that the body is “retracing”. The skin is getting more alive and active. It's throwing out more poisons more rapidly now that the body is building more
power which is saved from those hard-to-ingest meals which have been discontinued. These toxins being discarded are saving you from more serious disease which will result if you keep them in your body too
much longer - possibly hepatitis, kidney disorders, blood disease, heart disease, arthritis, nerve degenerations or even
cancer - depending upon your structural weaknesses. Be happy you're paying your bills now on an easy-payment plan. With some, colds which haven't appeared for a long time may occur, or even fevers. This is nature's way of housecleaning. Understand that these actions are constructive, even though unpleasant at the moment. Don't, but don't, try to stop these
symptoms by the use of certain drugs, or even massive doses of vitamins, which will act as drugs in huge concentration. These symptoms are part of a remedial process. Don't try to “cure” the remedial process! These are not deficiency
conditions or allergic manifestations - not if you're eating properly in quality, quantity, combination and sequence. Here is where experienced advice is of great value. Unfortunately, there are few books present today which give full
guidance to the average reader. Try to find guidance through a doctor or teacher who has the requisite experience in this
most confusing of all subjects - Nutrition in relation to health and disease. BODY PURIFICATION CAN BE A LONG DRAWN OUT PROCESS
You may he eating perfectly in regard to quantity, quality and observing all the correct rules, and still symptoms will occur. Those who have lived better lives in the past - who have eaten better foods and who have abused their bodies less with
overeating will have reactions ranging from almost none at all or very mild symptoms which may be uncomfortable or acute. Those who have lived worse lives and poisoned themselves more will experience more severe symptoms - if their liver,
kidneys, or other important eliminating organs have been damaged. When they have been renovated to the point of fair
working order, they will no longer produce symptoms. Headaches may occur at the beginning. Fever, colds, the skin may break out, a short interval of bowel sluggishness,
occasional diarrhea, feelings of tiredness and weakness, disinclination to exercise, nervousness, irritability, negativity or
mental depression, frequent urination, also may occur. However, the great majority of people find their reactions tolerable and are encouraged to bear with them, because of the
many improvements which have already occurred and are becoming more evident with each day. This acts as an
inspirational force to them. copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648-1500    www.drbass.com 12The symptoms will vary according to the materials being discarded, the condition of the organs involved in the elimination
and the amount of energy you have available. The more you rest and sleep when symptoms are present, the milder they
are and the more quickly they are terminated. Be happy you are having symptoms. Realize deeply  that your body is becoming younger and healthier every day, because you are throwing off more and more
wastes which would eventually have brought pain, disease and much suffering. Those who have the worst symptom-reactions and follow through to their successful termination are thus avoiding some of
the worst diseases which would eventually have developed had they continued their careless eating habits. BLISSFUL STATE OF HEALTH COMES EVENTUALLY
Don't expect to go on an ascending scale of quality, that improving your diet will make you feel better and better each day
until you reach perfection. The body is cyclical in nature. and health returns in a series of gradually diminishing cycles. For example - you start a better diet and for a while you feel much better. After some time, a symptom occurs - you feel
nauseous for a day and have diarrhea with a foul-smelling stool. After one day you feel even better than before and it goes
fine for awhile. Then you suddenly develop a cold, feel chills and lose your appetite. After about two or three days
(assuming you don't take drugs or do anything else about it), you suddenly recover and feel better than you did for years. Let us say this wellbeing continues for two months, when you suddenly develop an itch or rash. You don't take anything
special for it. This rash flares up, gets worse and continues for ten days,


and negativity weaken it. There is also the harmful effect of stress, keeping the entire organism in
a state of high tension. Yet the body, that wonderful organism with its own intelligence, only
functions well when it is relaxed, free from tension and able to follow its inner rules and rhythms. Obviously, the Gerson program will also work best for the relaxed, unstressed patient. After all,
it is not enough to eat the best possible food and drink the most health-giving juices—they also
have to be digested and absorbed properly, and it is no secret that anxiety and worry can wreak
havoc with the digestion. Keeping mind and emotions on an even keel, banishing stress and fear must be part of the
Gerson patient’s daily routine. Fortunately there are some simple, enjoyable methods that make
this possible. In this chapter we present a full range. Please try them and see which suit you
best. Minding the Body
Posture  can have a huge impact on how we feel, just as how we feel is often betrayed by our
posture. When we are happy, we walk on air. When miserable, head goes down, shoulders move
up, back curves forward and slumps, all of which compresses our innards and adds to the gloom. And that will never do. Learn to keep your spine straight, but not rigid, both standing and sitting. (Please freeze for
a moment and check what your spine is doing.) Sit with both feet on the ground and don’t cross
your legs; doing so impedes the circulation and twists the spine. Walk from the hips and avoid
leaning forward, as if you were pushing a grocery cart– you can’t get ahead of yourself! Think of
your head as the hook of a coat hanger, with your body hanging from it loosely and comfortably. The shoulders are a particularly tension-prone part of the body: they tend to move forward and
up, whenever we feel stressed, as if wanting to protect the chest. A side effect of this unconscious
move is that anxious people seem to have short necks. In the memorable words of a yoga teacher,
opening up your chest means saying yes to life. Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved. This material may not be reproduced in any medium, print or electronic without prior written permission from the author.Page 174Healing the Gerson Way—Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases
www.thegersonway.comMake sure your shoulders are where they belong. Stand up straight, draw both shoulders
up as far as they will go, right up to the earlobes—and then drop them, as if they had become
redundant. Where they land is their natural position. Please memorize it for future use. It is also
helpful to keep your neck supple and relaxed (and make it longer!) by regular exercise. Turn your
head slowly from left to right and back; drop your head gently forward and backward, keeping
your lower jaw loose; rotate your head first clockwise, then counter-clockwise, repeating each
movement five times. If at any time you feel you are tensing up and no one can see you, imagine
that you are a rag doll in a strong breeze, and move accordingly
Hands are also tension-prone. They tend to curl into fists as soon as we feel anxious or
angry. In old Westerners you could tell that things were getting dangerous when the hero’s
knuckles turned white. Actually anybody’s knuckles can turn white from fear, and this is what
needs to be avoided. Train yourself to keep your fingers splayed when your hands are at rest. That
prevents the tensing up of the arms, which would lead to further tension rushing through the body. If at first you fail and all you have is fists, imagine that you have washed your hands and have no
towel, so that you need to shake both hands vigorously from the wrists. As you do that, feel the
tension dropping away from your fingertips. Last but far from least, breathing deserves our full attention. Breath is the basic condition
of life. We can live for quite a while without food and for a much shorter time without water, but
life without breath ends in a few moments. Yet most of us neglect this vital function, until we
learn otherwise and switch from shallow to deep abdominal breathing. This way, routinely used
by singers, speakers, practitioners of yoga and athletes, boosts the body’s oxygen intake and has
a calming effect. The method is simplicity itself. With each in-breath push out your stomach, so
that the breath can fill your lungs to full capacity. With each out-breath, pull in your stomach hard,
squeezing out the stale air. Find your own rhythm and practice this method several times a day,
until it becomes your natural way of breathing. If at first it is a bit difficult, imagine that in your
abdomen there is a beautiful balloon, which you inflate with each in-breath and deflate by letting
out the air. You will be surprised what a difference better breathing makes to your well-being. Matters of the Mind
Your mental attitude can be your best ally—or your worst enemy, and the same applies to
your imagination, depending on how you use it. Positively used, your thoughts and ideas can help
you to re-program your entire outlook, your moods and feelings, so that they promote health and
healing, instead of dragging you down.. Energy follows thought! There are several ways to achieve the best possible state of mind. All of them depend on your
ability to relax as fully as possible, so that no tension interferes with what you are trying to do. The simplest way is to lie on your back on a comfortable but not too soft surface, with your hands

www.thegersonway.comloosely resting by your sides. Close your eyes. Start breathing slowly, deeply, from the abdomen. With each in-breath imagine drawing in brilliant light, which fills you with peace, strength and
energy. With each out-breath imagine releasing all tiredness, tension, pain or anxiety in the shape
of dirty dark smoke. Let your head and your body become very heavy, so that the floor carries
your weight. Check through your body, starting with your toes and working your way up to the
top of your head, for traces of tension or stiffness, and release them. Make sure your jaw is relaxed
and your tongue lies easy against your upper palate. And now just stay with this feeling of peace,
release and relaxation for a little while. This basic letting go is the key to all kinds of inner work, including meditation, prayer,
visualization and affirmations. Practised at least twice a day, free from disturbance, noise and
interruptions, it will make a great difference to your mental state, which in turn will affect your
body. Meditation is a simple way to still the ever-busy brain and enter a place of profound stillness
and peace, which for a short while lets us escape from everyday reality. It needs practice—the
brain is hard to discipline and keeps bringing in thoughts, fragments of ideas and all kinds of
mental rubbish. At first you may find that even thirty seconds of stillness is quite an achievement,
but don’t give up: there are ways to improve the situation. One is to get hold of intruding thoughts, identify them, then imagine tying a big balloon to
each one and watch them float away. Another one is to improve concentration by counting from
one to four, seeing in your mind’s eye the numbers, shining bright and beautiful against a dark
curtain, and repeat the counting ten times. You can also place a clock at eye level and fix your
entire attention to the second hand going round and round and round, so that nothing else matters. Gradually—but it needs perseverance—you’ll find it easier to achieve spells of thought-free
awareness, leading to an extraordinary sense of restfulness and peace. Also, switching off the brain for a little while enables us to hear our so-called inner voice, the
voice of intuition and wisdom. Whatever our belief system, whether or not we are religious, we
all have an inner life and a set of values by which we live. Often it is at a time of crisis, caused
by a serious health breakdown, that we turn inward and review our position in life. Naturally,
Gerson patients are totally free to choose their own way in this field: we are all different and must
respect our differences. But it is the experience of many doctors, counsellors and other health
professionals that patients who believe in a Higher Reality, who are able to pray and put their faith
in God, fare better than those who don’t. Prayer, coming from the heart, with trust in the ultimate
rightness of things, can be a great support on the rocky path of recovery. Visualization uses the imagination to re-program not only the mind but to a certain extent the
body as well. It works through images, by-passing the thinking-talking brain, and those images
come from the same deep area of the psyche as the ones we meet in our dreams. The purpose of
visualization is to prescribe, so to speak, what we want to achieve: defeating disease, rebuilding

 it through your higher self, which wants you to
have peace, feel no turmoil, and experience love. This is an intelligent system that we are part of; there’ s an intelligence
flowing through us all. Even though it’ s invisible, you can’ t get hold of it,
and it’ s impervious to the senses, you just know that this is who you are. Y ou kno w that you are not your packaging. Y ou can’ t weigh your life; it
doesn’ t have any form, substan ce, boundaries, or dimensions beyond the
senses. It’ s beyond the physical—it’ s metaphysical. Y ou have reached the point where you know you are that which is
changeless and eternal, rather than that which is always changing and
shifting. Y ou’ve  learned to stand  up to your desires. Y ou won’ t b e repressed. you’re going to be free. When you live i n the light, you experience a sense of peace and  bliss, an
absence of turmoil. It’ s really all about love. And when you exp erience this
kind of love, fabulous things happen all the time. DAIL Y PRACTICES
Finally, I’d like to of fer you a series of suggestions, specific things that
you can do on a daily basis to h elp you enjoy the totally awake, aware, and
enlightened life:
— Remind yourself that you ar e her e to fulfill a Divine her oic
mission. Att empt to ser ve others in so me small way, and do it without
telling anyone or looking for any credit. Let go of your own self, and
simply ask, “How may I serve others. ” Keep in mind that it is in the
serving of others that we feel the God within. Think o f some positive, loving thing that you can do without a sking for
anything back. Practice it sometime today, even if it’ s just letting someone
go a head of you in line at the  grocery store, smiling at those  you come
across th roughout your day, or giving a few dollars to someone in need. Sharing with your fellow huma n beings brings a sense of joy to everyone
involved. Here is a quot ation that I rea d every single day: “When you seek
happiness for yourself, it will always elude you. When you seek happiness
for o thers, you w ill find it yours elf. ” Remember that the secret o f happiness
is to stop looking for it yourself and instead try to find it for others. — Have a clear p ictur e of something that you would like t o see
materialize in your life. Maybe it’ s attracting the perfect job, finding your
soul mate, or a chieving optimal health—whatever it may be, keep your
inner focus on this picture, a nd extend love outward as frequently as
possible with it in mind. The d etails will get handled if you can keep the
picture i n your mind with a knowing; just put love around that  picture and
don’ t doubt it. Understand the importance of training your m ind, and be
sure to have the willingness to d o whatever it takes to bring that image into
form. Ev en if you don’ t see it m anifesting for yourself right away, keep the
picture there. Before long, you will see what you’ve been envisioning
showing up in your life in the most amazing ways. — Have co nversations with God in a private and special way. In these
conversations, r ather than soliciting favors, af firm your willingness to useall th at y ou are to create solutions. Ask for the inner strength to accomplish
something, and then be willing to do what is necessary to make it happen. As y ou create this new relatio nship with the higher part of yourself,
you’ll se e that the strength is t here because that’ s where you place your
attention. Reme mber, where you place your attention is what y ou’re going
to create. — Remove the concept of “enemy” fr om your thoughts completely. The who le idea that there are p eople on the planet that are our enemies is
what the  ego has trained us to believe. W e have some of th ese ancient
enmities, hatreds, and angers being passed down from generation to
generation just on the basis of having whole new souls who come through
being taught that “this is whom you’re supposed to hate. ”
Remember, ther e are no choosing up sides on our own planet. W e are all
in this thing together. The idea that somehow there are some people who are
more sp ecial than others is the  ego talking again. It’ s that whole idea of
separateness and  specialness. Once you have that awareness, the  ego is now
subsided—you h ave tamed the ego when you have accepted that there are
no enemies. In m y sp eeches over the years, I’ve often asked, “How many p eople are
there in Russia. ” The audience will give me an answer. Then I’ll ask, “Can
you think of anybody in Russia  whom you hate. Is there anybody in this
room who hates someone in Russia. Is there some grandmothe r over there
or one of those little Russian children whom you hate. ” There’ s never a
hand that goes up. Y et during the whole Cold W ar period, we sp ent billions
of dollar s creati ng weapons to kill those very people over there whom no
one hates. The problem isn’ t so much that we hate others; it’ s that we haven’ t
learned t o love them enough. Once we’ve learned to love each o ther enough
and completely transcend that i dea of having enemies—and when enough
of us do it—then we will create peace and foster enlightenment  all over the
world. W e can d o that not only with people who are living on the other side
of th e gl obe but  also with the folks in our own neighborhoods, workplaces,
and fam ilies. Section summary:

up the internal ener gy source that gives us heightened spiritual awareness.— Surr ender, whi ch involves an act of the heart. Surrendering takes
place in a moment, and the way you do it is by no longer asking, “Why me? Why is this happening to me?” Surrendering means that you simply let go. When I surrender, I say, “I’m on  purpose; I’m only here to serve.” I then
find that I’m no t alone. When y ou learn to surrender and let go, and realize
that you ’re not in fa ct alone, you’ll have gotte n your ego out of the way. The universe handles the details, your higher self begins to rule, and it is

prayer, chanting, or whatever, but give yourself some time each day to get
quiet an d come to know the voice of God. It isn’ t so much what you do
while you are silent; it’ s what you are able


 to work always withcareful deliberation and never allow themselvesto be hurried with their work. It should also be made a habit
NOT TO EAT ANYTHING
without a keen appetite. This involves knowinghow to recognise a true appetite and also how todetect a false craving. Waiting for a healthful
call for food, for any length of time, can do noharm, and should not cause any discomfort orinconvenience ; but exciting a false desire andtaking food before the body is " good and ready "for it, starts trouble brewing at once. If the worst results of premature or hurried
eating were immediately felt, no one would getin the habit of sinning in this manner. Likeauto-intoxication from excess of alcohol,poisoning from unnecessary or unwelcomefood—either an excess of it or when takenuntimely—is an aftermath of unhealthystimulation or exhilaration. The crux, then, of dietetic righteousness, or,
Fletcherism, is habituating the body to practisethat Eternal Vigilance, which is
THE PRICE  OF FREEDOM  FROM  INDIGESTION. It should be much easier to install a habit of
carefulness than it is to permit habits ofcarelessness. It is possible so to sensitize themuscles which control swallowing that they willrefuse to act and will cause choking if anattempt to swallow prematurely is made.Systematic attention to this detail of care for a
week will secure it as a permanent habitwithout need of any further attention to it. The statement that it is easier to do the right
thing than it is to do the wrong thing : and thatit is easier to fix firmly good habits than it is toacquire bad habits ; will probably be questionedor disputed by many; but practice of theprinciples which underlie Fletcherism will curesuch pessimism relative to the attitude ofMother Nature towards her most perfectproduct in general, Man. Man is given more liberty and more license
than any other natural expression and, with theendowment which we call " intelligence," he israised to a position of partnership in assistingnatural evolution and progress. From inklings of experience it is reasonably
inferred that Man is more susceptible toevolutionary influence than any of the animalkind ; that he can ever progressively trainhimself towards higher and highersupermanhood ; that he is able to performmarvels in taming and training other animalsand in perfecting plant life to prodigiousproportions. He is even " gifted " to the extent of
overcoming, harnessing, and using at will the" forces of Nature," and dispelling the mysteries.He can only do this, however, by co-operatingwith Nature in the most intelligent and faithfulmanner. To ascertain Nature's requirements of
preferences it is necessary to begin with thefirst essentials of care, the nutrition of the bodyand the management of the mind. These basicessentials are the first concern of Fletcherismand really the crux of the ScientificManagement of the Highest Efficiency. One of the most important discoveries in the
development of Fletcherism is the fact that
MUSCLES  HAVE  MEMORIES. The usefulness of this discovery rests in the
knowledge that it is possible to make themuscles connected with nutrition commit tomemory the sequences of procedure in theprocesses of nutrition which accomplish themost profitable results, and then pass on toother details of responsibility care-free andthought-free, fully confident that everythingwill go on as Nature would have it go.Without beginning this discipline of the
muscular equipment at the right point and inthe right manner, no solid structure ofEfficiency-Building can be secured. Any amountof indigestion, or unnecessary strain put uponmetabolism, interferes with the smooth workingof the organism in the same way that aninfinitesimal weight put at the tip end of thelong arm of a lever multiplies the burden ofresistance at the short end many, many fold. Therefore, the Crux of Fletcherism is found
in first training the muscular and mentalapparatus to proceed with thorough deliberationrelative to every thing taken into the body, forfrom this intake, and especially from themanner of the handling of this material alongthe line of the alimentary canal, come efficiencyor inefficiency. It is first necessary to know what you want
the muscles to habituate themselves to doing inconnection with nutrition. They must learn toknow what constitutes a true appetite, incontradistinction to indefiniteness of want ordesire. The muscles will soon learn to know thatreal hunger (body need) is not expressed by anyuncomfortable feelings below the guillotine line. Only in the head, where the senses are allbunched together for the most importantteamwork, is honest hunger sensed. We mayrightly add to the list of the senses, Appetite,and trust it with confidence to tell us what thebody can use to advantage of the foods availableat the time. That the foods are appetizing is theonly recommendation necessary to a set ofmuscles trained to treat them as Naturerequires when they enter the laboratory of themouth. Connected with the training of the, mouth-
muscle outfit, there is the one standing order.Challenge everything applying for entrance,whether by special invitation or in the way ofsurprise, by testing it for taste-acceptability atthe tip of the tongue. Then keep on tasting andtesting, with reverential appreciation of thegustatory delight there is in it, in the fullknowledge that both digestion and assimilation,which are the prime necessities of nutrition, arehealthfully stimulated by accentuatedenjoyment.It is not necessary to dwell intensively on
sensual enjoyment of the material beingautomatically handled by the methodicalmuscles. The pleasant sense sensationssurrounding taste may serve as anaccompaniment to agreeable conversation, tothe delight of beauty in any form, to flowers, tomusic, to graceful and vivacious femininity, orto any sort of charm, with added strength givento the effect on wholesome nutrition. So much for the usefulness of the mouth-
muscles, including that most wonderful ofmuscles, the tongue, in assisting in thehealthful stimulation of nutrition. Their mostimportant office is to stand guard against thecontingencies that are liable to happen whichare prejudicial to digestion. If there is worry inthe atmosphere : " Don't let anything into themouth on pain of court-martial and suffering! "Those are the " orders of the day " for thesentinel muscles of the mouth, serving at theouter entrance of the alimentary canal. In the category of  " worry " are included
anger, argument, blues, or any other of thedepressant passions, and no food or drink, otherthan water, should be admitted to the canal
while any form of depressants are beingsuffered. We must agree in the first place that itcan do no harm to wait for a clearance of themental atmosphere. Real hunger is not apainful craving for something or anything, butis a most accommodating waiter for finalcollection of all the taste dividends there aredue in a big lump sum to compensate for notgetting them by instalments. Consequently, ifthe mental atmospheric conditions are notfavourable to the best nutrition, the best way toclear them is to wait. Nothing is so forceful inmaking one modify or forget passing clouds ofpain or disappointment as growing healthyHunger. The mouth-muscles soon learn to know this
beautiful provision of Mother Nature, wherebydeferred collections by appetite are paid withcompound interest sometimes sure, if by thewaiting process the mental atmosphere iscleared of the elements of digestive lightningand thunder. How delightful it is to be assured that the
best way to secure the best nutrition is theeasiest way and that it can be quickly installed
as a habit, so that attention to the mechanics ofthe care is not necessary, leaving the wholebattery of appreciation to employ itself with thegustatory festival.CHAPTER XV
FLETCHERISM AND VEGETARIANISM
MEAT ERS AND MEAL ERS
The Danger of Excess of Protein—The Use of Meat—Meat and Uric
Acid—To Sum Up—Profitable Economy. IN the warfare against the " Demons of
Dietetic Disturbances " most of the volunteerrecruits go into the camp of the Meal ers, that is
they become vegetarians, quasi- vegeiarians,  or
partial vegetarians, and array themselvesagainst human carnivorous habits andpractices. They are comparatively few innumbers, but make up in enthusiasm what theylack in numerical strength. Some of them basetheir objection to meat-eating on physiologicalgrounds, others on sentimental susceptibility,and yet others are influenced by reasons ofeconomy. With world-wide and centuries-old evidence
before me in forming an opinion, I say withouthesitation that the weight of argument is infavour of a meatless diet most, if not all, of thetime, and that all who subsist on the first-handfruits of the soil and do not resort to
cannibalism, except in cases of emergency, areon the safer side. THE DANGER  OF EXCESS  PROTEIN. To mention the greatest danger from using
meat for nutrition first, we find it almostimpossible to eat most meats without takinginto the organism more protein (nitrogen) thanis required for repair of the broken-downtissues; and we now know that any excess ofprotein or nitrogen imposed upon the body isnot good for it. Large excess is positively deadlyin its final effects, and many, if not all of the so-called uric-acid troubles or diseases are tracedto such abuse. Not only are the kidneys worn out long before
their time, but high blood-pressure is one of the


's
say
in
ten
years,
to
compare
the
health
status
of
children
whose
richer
mothers
could
treat
them
to
various
types
of
panties
(look
how
beautifully
dry
that
ass
is),
and
children
who
naturally
peed
in
their
diapers
and
thus
actually
they
used
urinotherapy
from
a
young
age. I
believe
that
children
who
used
to
urinate
until
late
in
life
have
healthy
urinary
and
sexual
systems
today. At
least
for
me
it
is
100%
true. Whenever
I
start
studying
the
human
body,
I
am
always
surprised
by
the
enormous
sophistication
and
harmony
of
its
systems
and
organs,
I
bow
in
deep
humility
before
its
intelligence,
which
is
many
times
higher
than
our
thinking
mind. I
am
therefore
convinced
that
if
nature
wanted
the
child's
body
not
to
bathe
in
its
own
urine
from
the
diapers,
or
rather
from
the
mother's
womb,
it
would
certainly
have
arranged
it
differently
and
would
not
have
waited
for
the
invention
of
some
bobby
pants. Urine
therapy
is
most
helpful
to
those
people
whose
internal
environment
is
strongly
alkaline
and
there
is
total
decay
in
the
entire
body. This
is
especially
common
in
older
and
senile
organisms. Therefore,
taking
urine
gives
the
best
results
in
such
cases. Example:
Patient,
76
years
old,
after
4
operations,
sepsis
at
46
years
old,
exudative
pleurisy,
hypertension,
tachycardia,
extrasystole,
gastritis,
diseased
bile
ducts
at
the
same
time. She
started
urinotherapy
by
drinking
400
grams
of
urine
a
day. After
a
year,
severe
diseases
disappeared:
arrhythmia,
pain
in
the
digestive
tract,
in
the
head,
in
the
coccyx
area
and
high
blood
pressure. More
secondary
problems
also
stopped:
the
consequences
of
pleurisy
in
the
left
side,
pain
in
the
neck
area,
problems
with
vision
and
swollen
arteries
in
the
groin
area,
no
colds,
the
fat
tumor
on
the
breast,
stomatitis,
hemorrhoids
disappeared,
the
hair
stopped
falling
out
and
became
much
better,
thicker. Stool
normalized,
bloating
and
heartburn
stopped. Her
ribs
have
also
stopped
hurting
as
a
result
of
the
illness,
and
her
head
no
longer
spins
when
she
bends
forward. The
excessive
appetite
has
disappeared
and
the
patient
no
longer
suffers
from
painful
cramps
at
night. Outside,
her
eyes
no
longer
water
and
the
dark
spots,
"flies"
and
serrations
have
disappeared. Varicose
veins
(inflammation
of
the
veins)
also
subsided
and
sleep
improved. Example:
Female
patient,
70
years
old. "I
have
been
practicing
urinotherapy
for
4
years
and
I
will
tell
you
about
my
results. First
of
all,
the
humming
in
my
head
stopped,
I
can
hear
in
my
left
ear
again,
my
hands
stopped
shaking
and
my
fingers
and
toes
became
free,
the
stones
came
out
of
my
gall
bladder
and
sand
was
secreted
for
three
months. Her
knees
stopped
swelling. I
cured
my
cataracts
by
washing
my
eyes
with
urine. The
doctor
also
confirmed
this. But
otherwise
I
don't
tell
the
doctors
anything,
because
they
wouldn't
believe
me
that
I
cured
my
diabetes
with
urine. I
don't
have
sugar
in
my
urine
or
in
my
blood,
the
doctor
praises
me
for
following
my
diet. I
didn't
admit
to
him
that
I
was
drinking
urine. For
about
five
years
I
had
severe
pain
in
my
spleen. Here,
too,
I
cured
compresses
with
urine,
which
I
put
on
for
10-15
minutes. When
I
drink
urine
three
times
a
day,
it
feels
like
jackhammers
are
working
in
my
gallbladder. I
can
even
hear
the
rocks
crunching. I
also
cured
my
hemorrhoids
and
varicose
veins. All
my
life,
the
skin
on
my
feet
and
wrists
cracked,
so
I
couldn't
walk
barefoot
for
years. After
bronchitis,
I
often
had
colds
and
chills. In
the
summer,
I
wore
a
fur
vest
athome. And
now
it's
14
degrees
in
my
apartment,
I
walk
naked
after
a
bath
and
I
don't
die. I
gained
immunity. I
had
periodontal
disease
and
13
teeth
were
pulled
out
in
three
years. Nevertheless,
the
purulent
pockets
in
the
gums
did
not
disappear. Thanks
to
urine
and
regular
gum
massage,
all
dental
problems
stopped. I
stopped
visiting
doctors,
they
don't
help
a
person
anyway. I
once
had
an
infection
in
my
left
ear
and
I
stopped
hearing
them. After
washing
my
ears
with
urine,
my
hearing
returned
and
I
can
hear
very
well. I
cured
my
daughter's
eczema
and
my
granddaughter's
asthma. An
acquaintance
of
mine
had
varicose
veins
and
a
large
open
wound
on
her
leg,
which
festered. After
the
urine
treatment,
she
was
cured. The
important
thing
is
that
I
am
no
longer
tired
in
the
morning
(urine
has
a
huge
energy
charge
-
note

get
up
early
and
start
doing
urine
therapy,
I
feel
wonderful. I
used
to
be
lifeless,
now
I
can
walk
like
when
I
was
young,
no
one
would
guess
that
I
am
70
years
old. At
the
same
time,
if
it
weren't
for
urine
therapy,
I
would
have
been
in
my
grave
a
long
time
ago. " Example:
Patient,
80
years
old. He
started
urinotherapy
boldly
and
with
gusto. "I

decline-with-copd/. 1 5  p e r c e n t :  I’ve been asked by more than one musician over the past few years if playing wind
instruments boosts lung capacity. Some studies conflict, but the consensus is that, no, wind
instruments do not increase lung capacity in a significant way. Further, the constant pressurized
air within the lungs appears to increase the risk of chronic upper airway symptoms and evenlung cancer. Evangelos Bouros et al., “Respiratory Function in W ind Instrument Players,”

were taken from his 1970 autobiography, coauthored with Reece Stough: Dr. Br eath: The Story

m a k i n g  t h e  c o n d i t i o n  w o r s e :  This was the same “chest” breathing Stough would see in schizophrenics and
others with behavioral disorders. They all shared the same tight chest and rib cage, and were
unable to move freely or breathe any way but in several hasty breaths. As a result, all the
“stale” carbon-dioxide-rich air would sit stagnant in their lungs, creating “dead space.”

(water vapor, carbon dioxide, and other gases), but we also exhale pollutants: pesticides,
chemicals, and engine exhaust. When we don’ t breathe out completely, these toxins sit in the
lungs and fester, causing infections and other problems. T odor A. Popov, “Human Exhaled

the load. Should we strain our left ankle, we’ll place more weight on the right. But the
diaphragm doesn’ t have that option. No other muscle does what it does. It just keeps laboring
on at whatever cost, because if it doesn’ t, we’ll quickly run out of air and die. Over time, the
body learns to do what it can to compensate and engages “accessory” respiratory muscles in the
chest to help air get in and out of the lungs. This chest-centered breathing becomes a habit. s a i d  L e e  E v a n s :  Caso, Br eathing: The Sour ce of Life, 11:18.g r e a t e s t  p e r f o r m a n c e s :  Bob Burns, The T rack in the For est: The Cr eation of a Legendary 1968 US

p o w e r  o f  h a r n e s s i n g :  Along my journey researching this book, I visited Dr. J. T od Olin, a pulmonologist
at National Jewish Health, a leading respiratory hospital and research center in Denver,
Colorado. Olin had specialized for the past several years in a condition called exercise-induced
laryngeal obstruction (EILO), in which the vocal cords and surrounding structures obstruct the
airway during high-intensity exercise. Five to 10 percent of the adolescent population shares
this condition, and it is most often misdiagnosed as asthma and treated as such without success. Olin’ s techniques, which he unimaginatively named Olin EILOBI (Exercise-Induced Laryngeal
Obstruction Biphasic Inspiration T echniques), involved restricted and pursed-lip breathing
exercises developed by Konstantin Buteyko 60 years earlier, and to a lesser extent, Stough. The
only dif ference was that Olin’ s techniques were focused through the mouth, because, he said,
athletes couldn’ t inhale fast enough through their noses during high-intensity exercises. One
wonders how any of them would have fared if they could. Sarah Graham et al., “The Fortuitous
Discovery of the Olin EILOBI Breathing T echniques: A Case Study,” Journal of V oice 32, no. 6 (Nov. 2018): 695–97. n e a r l y  4  m i l l i o n  A m e r i c
