 and painful skin all around my toes and bottom of the foot
had totally changed in color and texture
New skin had grown in and was soft as a baby's. It had a beautiful new flushed, almost orange-like color and it just did not appear
to be my own skin! I anxiously began to research the field of autogenous fluids and,
shortly thereafter decided that recycling my urine was really a harmless form of
auto-toleration based on theories not much different than those in the science of
homeopathy. Drinking my urine was not that difficult, but deconditioning myself was the real
chore. 1 felt betrayed by society upon learning that our urine is not a poisonous,
toxic and filthy substance that our bodies so heroically expel. Since urine is filtered and cleansed blood, and the blood is 95% water,
IIO how many dangerous substances can there really be in urine? ·
Starting with just a small ounce, I gradually began drinking my body's own
distilled preparation with respect instead of disgust
I then graduated to drinking up to 8 ounces daily. Over the next 7 months the Kaposi's sarcoma Jesion became increasingly smaller
until it disappeared totally! The mouth ulcers that used to plague me,
stinging during meals, have not returned even once. I used to have monthly outbreaks of genital herpes, but I am elated to say that
autogenous UrineTherapy has produced a state of tolerance even against the
herpes virus that sooner or later, in conjunction with Ebstein-Barr virus (EBV),
Cytometgalovirus (CMV), and papilloma virus would have surely complicated my
existence and further weakened my immune system... just a matter of time. I have NEVER felt better in my life. Now, I no longer fear for my life. TESTIMONY 123*

At 198 pounds, I was overweight as well. Needless to say, I was not the picture of health. Then a friend told me about Urine Therapy. I soaked my feet in urine, and within a
week, the fungus cleared up. Then I started drinking my own urine. The result was just incredible. Four and a half months later, my weight was down
to 130 pounds. I have lost 68 pounds! My arthritis is gone, and my headaches are gone. I feel like I am 20 years old

Seven years ago, I was diagnosed with a lymphatic disorder. The doctors first thought it was Hodgkin's disease. During a vacation in Brazil I contracted some parasites. One was Shigella and the other was Giardia. I was treated with penicillin and many other antibiotics. But 1 sti111ost weight and the diarrhea was persistent. Then the new testing for AIDS came out, and I tested positive. I had constant problems with thrush. I also suffered from Kaposi's sarcoma
intermittently over portions of my body. My energy level was very low. To make long story short, I started Urine Therapy. The first treatment with urine
was on my skin. The second day I noticed that the KS lesions were starting to
fade. Then I stared to drink my own urine. I took about one ounce a day in the beginning. My thrush went away. Every time when I apply urine to any aberration or sore on
my skin, it all but disappears. The KS leision I was talking about is not even one-fourth the original size. 112 Also, my energy level is much higher. I had colitis. I no longer have an inflamed

The author of this book, Mantak Chia, was born in Thailand
on April 4,1944. When he was six or seven years of age he learned to
"sit and still the mind" from Buddhist monks while on a summer
vacation. This is not to say that he was passive and quiet as a child. In fact, he excelled in track and field events during his grammar
school days in Hong Kong. It was during that time that he learned
the traditional Thai Boxing and met Master Lu, who taught him Tai
Chi Chuan. Shortly thereafter, Master Lu introduced him to
Aikido, Yoga and more Tai Chi. His knowledge of esoteric practice
did not begin, however, until he was eighteen and he had returned to
Thailand. It was at that time that a senior classmate, Cheng Sue Sue,
a student of Yi-Eng, taught him the level of Tao Esoteric practice up
to the Reunion of Man and Heaven. When he was in his twenties, Master Chia studied with Master
Meugi in Singapore, who taught him Kundalini Yoga and the Bud-
dhist Palm. With the Buddhist Palm, he was soon able to eliminate
blockages of flow of life-force in his internal organs and to drive
cold, wet or sick energy out of patients who came to see his Master,
thereby restoring them to health. The young Mantak Chia felt, how-
ever, that Kundalini Yoga produced too much heat and could be
dangerous and so he later combined it with elements of Taoist prac-
tice, which had cooling effects. Later, in his twenties, he met and studied with Master Pan
Yu, who had created a synthesis out of Taoist, Buddhist and
Ch'an teaching, and Master Cheng Yao-Lung, who had also cre-
ated a new system by combining Thai Boxing and Kung Fu. From
Master Cheng Yao-Lung, he learned the Shao-Lin secret method
of internal power as well as the Iron Shirt method called "Cleans-
ing the Marrow and Renewal of the Tendon". From Master Pan
Yu, he learned a variation of Kundalini and the "steel body", a
technique that is said to keep the body from decay. Master Pan Yu
still lives and practices in Hong Kong, where he treats patients by
transmitting his life-force to them. To better understand the
mechanism behind the healing energy, Chia also studied Western
medical science and anatomy for two years. Yet, with all of these achievements, Master Chia was the man-
ager of the Gestetner Company in Thailand, was in charge of sales
of offset machines and was well acquainted with the working of
the company's copying and printing machines. He may well be theonly Taoist master in the world with a computer in his living room. He is also married and has a son. His wife Maneewan works as a
medical technician. He is, in short, living proof that his practice is
very much down-to-earth, striving to enhance everyday life and
not requiring retreat from society to a hermit's life. The main thrust of Chia's intention is to strip away the mys-
ticism, the mumbo-jumbo, the powers vested in the Guru, the re-
liance on things-other-worldly or magical. He seeks to present, in-
stead, a fully predictable working model that might be considered
as a scientific means of dealing with energy systems. In time, he
hopes this will lead to technological developments that might serve
to simplify or speed the means whereby such progress might be
made. It is with such hopes that he beckons members of the
medical community to investigate what he has to offer. There are
already physicians and lawyers and computer programmers, who
have experienced, first hand, the benefits that Master Chia's meth-
ods provide. It is up to them and others in the scientific commun-
ity to join Master Chia in his lifetime task of bridging the gap be-
tween reason and spirit, mind and body, science and religion.Mantak Chia,Universal Tao World Headquarters

Taoist "Dual Cultivation" and
the Quest for Sexual Love
by Michael Winn
"What a pity! A mountain peak as tiny as one square inch has been
the source of great inspiration and misery for centuries." —Anonymous Chinese Poet on man's obsession with woman's sex. Thousands of books have been written attempting to help men and
women resolve the problems arising from the endless search for
sexually fulfilling love. What could possibly be written that is new? Taoist Secrets of Love is not just another flowery philosophi-
cal treatise on the ecstasies of oriental love. Rather it is a pragmatic
handbook that distills the secret teachings on sex of four different
living Taoist masters sought out by Mantak Chia during fifteen
years of travel and study in the Far East. As he put it, "I read a ton
of books telling me how great esoteric love-making was, but none
of them explained precisely how it was done. So I decided to write
it myself." Most books on Taoist sex fail to instruct on how to transform
sperm energy once it is held in, where to store sex energy in the
body, how to best exchange it with a woman, and give cursory
treatment to the retention of semen. Chia synthesized the ancient
Taoist practices into simple but powerful methods that can be
easily learned by western men. This first volume is directed pri-
marily at men, simply because most men are sexually weaker than
women and lose more energy through sex than women. A later
volume will describe the esoteric Taoist sexual practices for
women, which includes voluntary arrest of the menstrual flow. The sexual imbalance between men and women is obvious. A
woman can sexually receive her man for as long as she pleases, and
thus the Taoists say her yin essence is nearly inexhaustible. A
man's love making is limited to the amount of energy he has to
keep his erection. His yang essence is more easily tired. A woman
is sexually stronger than a man because biologically she needs tobe. Her reproductive organs must bear the strain of physically
producing children and nurturing them. The effects on men of this
primal biological inequality are profound, setting off a chain reac-
tion that can permeate male thinking and feeling on all levels, from
marriage to work to cultural roles we choose to play and to the
spiritual models we choose for our inner growth. At heart


, poetically sums up the 15th verse of the T ao in this way:
How can a man’ s life keep its course
If he will not let it flow? Those who flow as life flows know
They need no other for ce:
They feel no wear, they feel no tear,
They need no mending, no r epair. Great advice for living an unhurried life.Do the T ao Now
Set this book down right now. Take ten minutes to sit quietly while
contemplating all that you have and all that is flowing into your life on a
Divinely orches trated timetable. Be at peace and give thanks for what is
allowing your life to unfold so perfe ctly. Let go of all other hurried
thoughts. OceanofPDF.com16th Verse
Become totally empty. Let your heart be at peace. Amidst the rush of worldly comings and goings,
observe how endings become beginnings. Things flourish, each by each,
only to r eturn to the Sour ce... to what is and what is to be. To return to the r oot is to find peace. To find peace is to fulfill one’ s destiny. To fulfill one’ s destiny is to be constant. To know the constant is called insight. Not knowing this cycle
leads to eternal disaster. Knowing the constant gives perspective. This perspective is impartial. Impartiality is the highest nobility;
the highest nobility is Divine. Being Divine, you will be at one with the T ao. Being at one with the T ao is eternal. This way is everlasting,
not endanger ed by physical death.OceanofPDF.comLiving with
Constancy
The 16th verse of the Tao Te Ching describes the value of being
supremely conscious of the constant cycle of all. Rather than viewing
change as a disruptive, unwante d occurrence, you can choose to view the
variances in your world as valuable influences in the cycle of a Tao-
centered existence. When you see change as the only constant there really is, you start to
recognize it as an expression of ongoing life that’s a welcome clue to your
own purpose and meaning. In this way, you’re returned to the experience of
your Source and the peace of an impartial perspective. Begin this process
by alteri ng your ego-based thoughts and letting yourself feel the bliss of
being at one with the Tao. Then become an acute observer of how your
world really works, and allow yourself to be in harmony with the cyclical
nature of all living things. There’ s an immutable cycle of “no life, life, no life” that we’re part of. All
things come, and then they go. Life materializes in a variety of forms—it’ s
here, and then at some point it ends in what we call death. This coming and
going might seem to be a temporary condition, but it’s actually the ultimate
constant because it never ceases. Embrace this nature of cyclical change
and you’ll thrive. An ending may feel like a reason to mourn, whether it be the closing of a
phase in your life, the compl etion of a project, the termination  of a
relationship, or death itself. But Lao-tzu invites you to realiz e that after
things flourish, they “return to the Source... to what is and what is to be.”
The constancy of the cycles of life is an opportunity to return to your root,
where what is and what is to be are located. The ultimate place of peace and
enlightenment is in this continu ous return to the nameless,  placeless site of
your origination. Lao-tzu tells you that a sense of inner peace comes with returning to the
Source, where all cycles begin and end. This is the fulfillment of your ownpersonal destiny; that is, you’re here to know and be the Tao, the constant
beyond the comings and goings of life. You’ve been in many bodies
already, and you’re in a new one every day. You’ve been in and out of many
relationships, yet the eternal you survives despite transitions from
beginnings back into endings. You’re now being urged to know yourself as
a physical creation and as a piece of the everlasting T ao. The Tao that animates all existences, including your own, is totally
impartial. It plays no favorites: It brings winter regardless of whether you
want it or not. It sends those you love on to other people and then back,
irrespective of your desires to have it otherwise. All of life must return to it;
there are no exceptions or apologies. When you’re unaware of this steadying influence, you attach to one
element of one cycle in life, leading to what Lao-tzu calls “eternal disaster.”
When one person leaves you, it feels like the end of the world. When a
business venture  fails, you flunk out of school, or you have a painful illness
or injury, you feel depressed. If you get trapped in these emotio nal endings,
you’re not permitting them to also be a natural part of life, leading you to
feel disconnecte d from your Source. You become stuck in the “rush of
worldly comings and goings,” unable to remember the constancy where
“endings become beginnings.”
The reality is that beginnings are often disguised as painful endings. So
when you know that there’ s a constant beyond the present moment’ s
disappointment, you can sense that “this too shall pass”—it always has and
always will. When you change the way you look at things, the things you
look at change! This is what Lao-tzu seems to be telling you in this 16th chapter of the
Tao Te Ching:
Take time to be an impartial observer of life, particularly when an
ending is causing despair. Remind yoursel f that your Sour ce is at work within this event, and then
make a decision to connect to that Source with your thoughts. All endings
are part of the cyclical process; you’re merely returning to a life of
constancy, which Lao-tzu taught in this passage. You don’t have  to learn
anything new, change any behavior, or adopt any new strategies—just thinkabout the word return, and take comfort in the ever-constant Tao, which
brings peace to despair. The Tao never leaves or disappoint s, and it is
always impartial. Wherever you are in the emotional cycle, you’re not being
judged. Rather, you’re learning to be in all phases, free of judgment and
living with constancy. Write these words and post them in a conspicuous place in your living
envir onment: This too shall pass. This phrase will remind you that change is the only constant in life. Everything you notice is in a cycle of coming and going. Everything! There
are no exceptions. Know this and let your thoughts flow in the constancy of
change. This is the root, the Source of all cyclical happenings. It is perfect. It is Divine. It is something you can totally rely upon. It brings spring
flowers, it brings the aging process, it brings rebirth, it brings new
relationships—it is the Tao and it is constant. Return to it and experience
your eternal essence here and now, in the temporary container you call your
body and all of its dramas. This too shall pass... you can count on it! Do the T ao Now
Dedicate a day to consciously seeking situations to practice impartially
observing endin gs as beginnings, challenging yourself to find a specific
number by noon. Begin in the morning by being aware that the end of
asleep is the beginning of awake. Break your waking time into sections,
noticing without  judging the endings that make space for begin nings. Start
to consciously live with constancy by opening your mind to the fact that
change is the only certain thing. Remember to include all of your feelings in
its cycle—impartially observing sad, for instance, permits its natural ending
to transform to a beginning. Y ou’re doing the T ao! OceanofPDF.com17th Verse
With the gr eatest leader above them,
people bar ely know one exists. Next comes one whom they love and praise. Next comes one whom they fear. Next comes one whom they despise and defy. When a leader trusts no one,
no one trusts him. The gr eat leader speaks little. He never speaks car elessly. He works without self-inter est
and leaves no trace. When all is finished, the people say,
“We did it ourselves.”
OceanofPDF.comLiving as an
Enlightened Leader
To reflect the lesson in this verse of the Tao Te Ching means  changing
how you see authority—which means viewing great or enlightened leaders
as those  who don’t actually lead anyone! Through the perspective of the
Tao, such individuals create an environment where everyone feels that they
have a personal responsibility to, and are a part of, the process. By adopting
this model of an enlightened leader, you’ll be more than likely to alter the
ways you criticize and admire captains of industry, government,  or religion,
as well as the way you guide others. The advice in this 17th verse is directed toward leaders of all kinds; in
fact, you can personalize it by substituting the words parent or teacher for
leader. Examine the ways you view your own tactics, and then make the
changes that are necessary in order to be someone who makes an
enlightening difference in the lives of others. First, you must  stay in the
background


	without	seeing	us. Just	then	I	heard	more
voices. They	sounded	like	kids	from	my	school	going	home	for	lunch	(which
was	much	more	common	in	India	back	then). “I	still	don’t	get	it. They’re	just	chatting	and	talking	about	stuff,”	I	said,
ducking	my	head	so	that	no	one	could	see	me. Baba	nodded	without	a	word.When	the	kids	were	gone,	I	waited	some	more,	but	there	was	nothing	else	to
hear. “On	the	contrary,”	said	Baba,	who	was	reading	my	mind	so	often	that	it	was
becoming	normal. “Now	is	the	time	you	must	really	listen.”
He	pointed	toward	the	road. Again	I	raised	my	head,	and	this	time	I	saw	two
young	lovers	from	the	village	who	had	just	become	engaged. They	were
walking	hand	in	hand,	gazing	at	each	other	silently. After	they	were	past,	Baba	said,	“People	shout	when	their	hearts	are	far	apart. They	speak	normally	when	their	hearts	are	in	tune. But	when	two	hearts	are
one,	there	is	no	need	for	words	at	all. That	is	how	the	way	of	the	heart
	works. In	silence	you	will	find	your	soul	as	the	love	guiding	you	from	your	heart.”

The	way	of	the	heart	isn’t	about	words—it’s	about	feelings. Your	heart	is	the
natural	home	of	spirit. If	you	say	to	someone,	“Show	me	where	your	soul	is,”
almost	without	hesitation	they	will	point	to	the	heart. What	they	might	not
know	is	what	the	heart	can	really	accomplish. Have	you	heard	of	horse
whispering? When	a	wild	horse	is	caught,	someone	has	to	break	it	in. Wild
horses	are	afraid	of	the	saddle;	they	panic	and	fight	when	they	feel	a	rider	on
their	back	for	the	first	time. So	traditionally	the	sight	of	a	horse	being	broken
in	was	wild	and	violent. Then	someone	discovered	another	way,	called	horse	whispering. Instead	of
forcing	the	horse	to	obey,	the	trainer	handles	it	gently,	looking	it	in	the	eye,
stroking	its	flanks	to	calm	it	down,	and	mounting	the	horse	only	when	the
trainer	feels	a	signal	from	the	animal	that	says,
You	may	get	on	me. I	trust	you
. The	old,	violent	way	of	breaking	horses	took	days;	horse	whispering	can	often
get	a	wild	horse	to	accept	a	saddle	in	a	few	hours. What’s	at	work	here	is	the	way	of	the	heart,	and	the	steps	are	the	same	with
people	as	with	horses:
Tune	in	to	the	other	person
. Gain	the	other	person’s	trust. Be	in	harmony;	do	not	resist	the	other	person’s	feelings.These	three	steps	don’t	use	words;	in	fact,	words	just	get	in	the	way. You	have
to	be	willing	to	enter	someone	else’s	world. That	can	sound	scary,	yet	as	you
get	used	to	the	way	of	the	heart	you	will	see	how	naturally	it	works. 1. T

The	first	step	comes	down	to	really	looking	and	listening. The	simple
question	“How	do	you	feel?”	is	always	a	good	start. But	look	and	listen	from
the	heart;	that’s	the	key. Someone	may	say,	“I’m	fine,”	yet	if	they	look	stiff,
with	arms	folded	and	a	tense	tone	in	their	voice,	don’t	those	things	tell	you
more	than	words? If	you	look	into	someone’s	eyes—not	staring,	but	just
making	contact—you	begin	to	feel	what	they	are	feeling. Likewise,	you	have
to	listen	from	the	heart,	which	tunes	in	to	feelings	all	the	time. Whenever	you	meet	anyone,	your	heart	reaches	out	and	asks:
Is	this	person
feeling	good	or	bad,	excited	or	depressed,	worried	or	expectant? Everyone
else’s	heart	is	doing	the	same	thing. So	don’t	get	in	the	way	or	pretend	that
you	don’t	notice. We	all	notice	feelings	at	the	heart	level. Words	are	easily

sensitizer such as 5-delta-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), tissue oxygen, and a target
cell. Photosensitizers can be given systemically or locally on the skin. Topical pho -
todynamic therapy is generally well tolerated, and the usual side effects following 5-ALA include erythema and pain at the site of application. 32
Recent studies have shown that topical photodynamic therapy with 5-ALA
and DMSO in 60 patients with basal cell carcinoma resulted in 81% of the patients becoming symptom-free 72 months after treatment with good cosmetic outcome. 33
A similar study evaluated the long-term follow-up for 19 cases of Bowen’s disease,
a neoplastic skin disease also called squamous cell carcinoma, in which patients were given topical 5-ALA plus DMSO with a single exposure to 630 nm diode laser at differing energy dosages. At 60 months, 57% of the patients treated with 5-ALA and DMSO showed no histologic signs of squamous cell carcinoma. 34
DMSO IN EXTRAVASATION
DMSO has been used to reduce extravasation of cytotoxic agents given to cancer patients intravenously. Extravasation or leakage of these agents from the blood into the surrounding tissue is a true medical emergency that requires immediate action to prevent ulceration or tissue necrosis. The only licensed drug that is used in the United States to reverse extravasation of anthracycline, a class of drugs used in
 cancer chemotherapy, is dexrazoxane,35 a derivative of ethylene diamine tetraacetic
acid (EDTA), which chelates iron ions bound to anthracycline to lower the formation of superoxide radicals. 36
However, cooling and topical DMSO over the area of extravasation has been
shown effective in reducing small anthracycline extravasations.37 The advantages of
DMSO and cooling are the rapidity of preventing anthracycline tissue damage fol -
lowing extravasation and substantial cost-effective savings due to the high cost of a hospital maintaining dexrazoxane in its inventory. Although brief reports and anecdotal accounts have often appeared attesting the
usefulness of DMSO in the treatment of lymphomas, glioblastomas, melanomas, and prostate and colon cancer when combined with conventional cancer therapeutic agents, these reports remain unconfirmed by strategic clinical trials. These controversial findings suggest that DMSO may have an important role in
anticancer chemotherapy. However, further research is needed, particularly on a larger population that can be studied long term in randomized clinical trials. CANCER AND RADIATION
Radiation is a well-established carcinogen for humans, and 10% of invasive can -
cers are related to radiation.38 A study was conducted that used high linear energy
transfer (LET) particles, which are used in radiotherapy, to irradiate a human bron-chial epithelial cell line, a stepwise neoplastic transformation of these cells occurred together with a consistent downregulation of the tumor suppressor TGFBI  gene. 39
The irradiated cells showed fragmentation and shrinking of mitochondria, which was 128 Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease
accompanied by a reduction in mitochondrial functions. The reduced mitochondrial
functions were seen as lowering of cytochrome C oxidase, superoxide production, as well as succinate dehydrogenase activities when compared with nonirradiated con-trols. 39 Cytochrome C oxidase is the last enzyme in the respiratory electron transport
chain of mitochondria and is important in the synthesis of ATP, the energy fuel of all cells. DMSO exposure of the irradiated epithelial cells was able to control the super -
oxide production and the damage caused by this free radical on the mitochondria. 39
A combination therapy using DMSO and sodium bicarbonate infusion was
recently reported by Hoang et al.40 DMSO and sodium bicarbonate were mixed into
a solution and infused daily for 6 months to nine patients suffering from advanced nonresectable biliary tract carcinoma, a highly fatal malignancy that has a poor response to chemotherapy. The treatment was well tolerated by all nine patients, and no adverse effects were recorded. The combined DMSO–sodium bicarbonate infu -
sion was seen to improve pain control, blood biochemical parameters, and quality of life for the patients. Notably, this treatment led to a 6-month period of progression-free survival for all nine patients in the trial, a finding the authors consider signifi -
cant of further research and application for the palliative care and extended survival of patients with this condition. 40
These findings add fuel to the conclusion that more research is needed using anti -
cancer agents mixed in DMSO solutions, a procedure that may provide more effec -
tive penetration and effectiveness in cancer suppression. Onyx EMBOLIZATION
Onyx is composed of ethylene–vinyl alcohol copolymer dissolved in DMSO and sus -
pended with micronized tantalum powder to provide contrast for visualization under fluoroscopy. Onyx liquid is used as an embolic agent of the vascular endothelium for a number of conditions including carotid-cavernous fistulas and cerebral arteriove -
nous malformations (A VMs). 41,42 Embolization of these vessels may prevent lethal
hemorrhage if they burst or leak. Onyx has been used with radiosurgery where it was successful in 80% of patients
treated for A VMs, showing safety and efficacy with a low rate (5%) of clinical com -
plications.43 Radiosurgery involves a single high-dose fraction of radiation directed
stereotactically at an intracranial region of interest.44,45
The flow-directed catheters used to deliver the liquid Onyx for embolization can
be coated with DMSO to prevent early polymerization within the catheter.46 It has
not been investigated whether DMSO may serve a secondary role during emboliza -
tion in stabilizing A VMs besides being a vehicle for the copolymer. Transvenous occlusion of the cavernous sinus in dural arteriovenous fistula
using Onyx embolization has been tried on patients with some success.47 Onyx with
DMSO was injected through the superior pharyngeal branch of the ascending pha -
ryngeal artery where small transosseous feeders to the fistula arising from the supe -
rior pharyngeal branch of the ascending pharyngeal artery could be occluded by this approach especially when more conventional approaches cannot be achieved. 47
Arteriovenous fistula of the spinal dura is also amenable to Onyx endovas -
cular embolization. Although vascular malformation of the spinal cord is a rare 129 DMSO in Malignancy
clinical condition, it occurs when congestion of the spinal cord medullary venous
plexus results in edema and neuronal ischemia.48 If not repaired, axial or radicular
back pain, gait imbalance, weakness of the lower limbs, numbness, and bladder or bowel disturbances can result. 49
Onyx has been tried in order to embolize the abnormal communicating vessels to the
dura and relieve the spinal cord edema that develops with a relatively high rate of suc -
cess.49 However, the neuronal ischemia is not always improved in arteriovenous fistula
of the spinal dura using Onyx, and it is only speculative whether a high dose of intrave -
nous DMSO separate from the Onyx embolization could aid control of this condition.50

 One?” the
little soul asked. “That which you are not,” I replied, and the
soul understood. And so this th e soul did, removing itself
from the All, yea, going even unto another
realm. And in this realm the soul had the
power to call into its experience all sorts of
darkness. And this it did. Yet in the midst of all the darkness did it cry
out, “Father, Father,  why hast Thou
forsaken me?” Even as have you in your
blackest times. Yet I have never forsaken
you, but stand by you always, ready to remind you of Who You Really Are; ready,
always ready, to call you home. Therefore, be a light unto the darkness,
and cur se it not. And forget not Who You Are in the moment
of your encirclement by that which you  are
not. But do you praise to the creation, even
as you seek to change it. And know that what you do in the time of
your greatest trial can be your greatest
triumph. For the experience you create is a
statement of Who You Are —and Who  You
Want to Be. I have told you this story —the parable of
the little soul and the sun —so that you
might better understand why the world is
the way it is —and how it can change in an  instan t the moment everyone remembers
the divine truth of their highest reality. Now there are those who say that life is a
school, and that these things which you
observe and experience in your life are for
your learning. I have addressed this  before,
and I tel l you again:
You came into this life with nothing to
learn —you have only to demonstrate what
you already know. In the demonstration of
it will you function it out, and create yourself
anew, through your experience. Thus,  do
you justify life, and give it purpose. Thus,
do you render it holy. Are you saying that all the bad things that
happen to us are things of our own
choosing? Do  you mean that even the
world’s calamities and disasters are, at some level, created by us so  that we can
“experience the opposite of Who We Are”? And, if so, isn’t there some less  painful
way—less painful to ourselves and
others —to create opportunities for us to
experience ourselves? You’ve asked several questions, and they
are all good ones. Let ’s take them one at  a
time. No, not all the things which you call bad
which happen to you are of your own
choosing. Not in the conscious sense —
which you mean. They are all of your own
creation. You are always in the process of creating. Every moment. Every  minute. Every day. How you can create we’ll go into later. For
now, just take my word for it —you are a  big creation machine, and you are turning out
a new manifestation literally as fast as  you
can think. Events, occurrences, happenings,
conditions, circu mstances —all are created
out of  consciousness. Individual
consciousness is powerful enough. You
can imagine what  kind of creative energy is
unleashed whenever two or more are
gathered in My  name. And mass
consciousness? Why, that is so powerful it
can crea te events and  circumstances of
worldwide import and planetary
consequences. It would not be accurate to say —not in the
way you mean it —that you are choosing
these consequences. You are not choosing
them anymore than I am choosing them. Like Me, you are obs erving them. And
deciding Who You Are with regard to them. Yet there are no victims in the world, and
no villains. And neither are you a victim of
the choices of others. At some level you
have all created that which you say you
detest —and, having created i t, you have
chosen it. This is an advanced level of thinking, and it
is one which all Masters reach sooner or
later. For it is only when they can accept
responsibility for all of it that they can
achieve the power to change part of it. So long as you enter tain the notion that
there is something or someone else out
there “doing it” to you, you disempower
yourself to do anything about it. Only when  you say “I did this” can you find the power
to change it. It is much easier to change what you are
doing than to change what another is
doing. The first step in changing anything is to
know and accept that you have chosen it to
be what it is. If you can’t accept this on a
personal level, agree to it through your
understanding that. We are all One. Seek
then t o create change not because a thing
is wrong, but because it no longer makes
an accurate statement of Who You Are. There is only one reason to do anything: as
a statement to the universe of Who You
Are. Used in this way, life becomes Self
creative. You use  life to create your Self as Who You Are, and Who You’ve Always
Wanted to Be. There is also only one
reason to  un-do anything: because it is no
longer a statement of Who You Want to Be. It does  not reflect you. It does not represent
you. (That is, it does not re -present you...). If you wish to be accurately re -presented,
you must work to change anything in your
life which does not fit into the picture of you
that you wish to project into eternity. In the largest sense, all the “bad” things
that happen are of your choosing. The
mistake is not in choosing them, but in
calling them bad. For in calling them bad,
you call your Self bad, since you created
them. This label you cannot accept, so rather
than label your Self bad, you disown your  own creations. It  is this intellectual and
spiritual dishonesty which lets you accept a
world in which conditions are as they are. If
you had to accept —or even felt a deep
inner sense of —personal responsibility for
the world, it would be a far different  place. This would c ertainly be true if everyone felt
responsible. That this is so  patently
obvious is what makes it so utterly painful,
and so poignantly ironic. The world’s natural calamities and
disasters —its tornados and hurricanes,
volcanoes and floods —its physical
turmo ils—are not created by you
specifically. What is created by you is the
degree to which these events touch your
life. Events occur in the universe which no
stretch of the imagination could claim you
instigated or created. These events are created by the com bined
consciousness of man. All of the world,
cocreating together, produces these
experiences. What each of you do,
individually, is move through them,
deciding what, if anything, they mean to
you, and  Who and What You Are in
relationship to them. Thus, yo u create collectively, and
individually, the life and times you are
experiencing, for the soul purpose of
evolving. You’ve asked if there is a less painful way
to undergo this process —and the answer  is
yes—yet nothing in your outward experience will have c hanged. The way to
reduce the pain which you associate with
earthly experiences and events —both
yours and those of others —is to change the
way you behold them. You cannot change the outer event (for that
has been created by the lot of you, and  you
are not grown enough in your
consciousness to alter individually that
which has  been created collectively), so
you must change the inner experience. This is the  road to mastery in living. Nothing is painful in and of itself. Pain is a
result of wrong thought. It i s an error in
thinking. A Master can disappear the most grievous
pain. In this way, the Master heals. Pain results from a judgment you have
made about a thing. Remove the judgment
and the pain disappears. Judgment is often based upon previous
experience. Y our idea about a thing derives
from a prior idea about that thing. Your prior
idea results from a still prior idea —and that
idea from another, and so forth, like
building blocks, until you get all the way
back in the hall of mirrors to what I call first
thought. All thought is creative, and no thought is
more powerful than original thought. That is
why this is sometimes also called original
sin. Original sin is when your first thought
about a thing is in error. That error is
compounded many times over when you
have  a second or third thought about a
thing. It is the job of the Holy Spirit to inspire you to new understandings, which can free
you from your mistakes. Are you saying that I shouldn’t feel bad
about the starving children of Africa, the
violence and  injustice in America, the
earthquake that kills hundreds in Brazil? There are no “shoulds” or “shouldn’ts” in
God’s world. Do what you want to do. Do
what reflects you, what re -presents you as

 to maintain, but gradually to increase, his vitality. And one day he felt energetic enough to indulge in
running exercises in the open fields (more than three months after the cessation of the radiation treatments). He ran daily to sweat out the toxins – rested in the afternoon – and then in the evenings he went on a hike. Then working
up a great thirst he would stop at stalls and have a hot beverage of boiled juices of certain melons and herbaceous plants
(leaves boiled and diluted with water). At night he took a warm bath followed by a brisk rubdown. He gradually increased
the running to one, two, and three miles, and the tumor gradually regressed, and the breathing became easier. “My diet of raw liver, eggs, and fresh fruits provided me with a good supply of B complex containing B 6, vitamin C, iron
and lecithin, and I further took some honey, red palm oil, brewer’s yeast, and wheat germ as nutritive supplements.” It took
more than six months for the inflammation on his face to subside completely and more than a year for his features to
become normal. The irradiated areas eventually healed, but some permanent scars remained. “I had to depend upon eggs
and fish liver for my supply of vitamin D.” Fish liver also contains some calcium and phosphorus, but these two minerals
occur in greater quantities in egg, which also contain vitamins A and D.
 RAW VEGETABLE THERAPY
 With gradual digestive improvement, he was able to add raw tomatoes and cucumbers and by dipping lettuce, celery, and
cabbage in boiling water for only a few seconds, they were made palatable. He juiced hard raw vegetables like carrots. With advancing years, he reduced his intake of liver, totally excluding other animal flesh. He accustomed himself to some
cheese in addition to eggs, getting a good supply of essential amino acids. He then added plant proteins such as soybean
in the form of easily digestible curds, adding a dressing of ground nut oil. Also added were legumes, ground nuts, lotus
seeds, and natural supplements like wheat germ and yeast. As his anemic condition improved, he took liver once a week or
two weeks and relied mainly on sugar cane, beans, spinach, and other iron-rich plant foods. Thus, he gradually learned to
maintain his nitrogen equilibrium without having to take meat every day. copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648-1500    www.drbass.com 14 On his almost meatless and low starch diet, he was constantly on guard against the development of hypoproteinemia and
hypoglycemia. On some occasions he did experience mild symptoms of these conditions, but by repeatedly adjusting his
menu, he was gradually able to assess his daily requirements of protein and sugar. He always made allowance for vital
food factors as yet undiscovered, so he followed no fixed menu based on known nutrients, but constantly altered his menu. “Raw vegetable therapy, when judiciously carried out, could be a great help to the cancer patient in his fight for survival,
but for the therapy to be successful, a sound knowledge of the nutrients – particularly of essential amino acids – present in
various types of food is essential.”
 Wong was convinced of the importance of auto-psychotherapy, wherein the patient understood that the human body is
self-healing and the natural tendency in illness is always towards recovery (called homeostasis), provided that the
causation of the illness is removed. Faith and determination in one’s recovery are essential, and if the physician can instill in
the patient the faith in the intrinsic power of the body to fight off the disease, and assure him of the chances of a final
victory, the best chances of success are then possible. Add to this the inspiration and confidence which comes when the
patient sees progressive improvement in his condition, the gradual abatement and regression of his cancerous growth, as
well as the steady increase in strength and vigor, and success is assured. In his recovery from cancer, all his chronic afflictions which existed prior to his developing cancer disappeared – viz. colds,
sore throat, sinusitis,  gingivitis, hay fever, indigestion, and insomnia. His sense of smell and taste gradually returned, the
tumor continued to regress slowly but surely, and within eight months he was completely cleared of nasal obstruction. He
was carefully examined at a hospital and the doctor stated, “You seem to be all right. There’s no trace of the tumor.”
 He learned to avoid the cancer recurrence which he so greatly feared, by constant vigilance. By his 35th birthday, he was
so improved in health and vigor that he was able to jog for hours without feeling unduly tired. “And all the while I had adhered to the Single Meal Routine – a diet which gave me little more than 1000 calories of energy
daily. On the Single Meal Routine I have been able to maintain my body weight constant at 100 lbs. – not an abnormally low
weight for an Asian of average height. This amounts to a loss of only about 10 lbs. compared to my body weight in early
youth, when I was eating three or four meals a day. But paradoxically, my reduction in weight was compensated by
increased vigor, a keen appetite, and – most important of all – a gradual abatement of all my chronic ailments and complete
eradication of cancer.”
 For the past 14 years since his biopsy, free from colds, hay fever, and catarrhal troubles and in recent years, with further
improvement in health and vigor, he was able to indulge in strenuous sports like badminton, judo, and weight lifting in
addition to running. “I must add that, despite my increasing daily expenditure of energy, I haven’t increased substantially the quantity of food
eaten daily. Yet, during the past few years, I have been able to gain a few pounds in weight. The mechanism of human
metabolism is certainly more complex than can be simply explained in terms of calorie requirements. ’”
 The treatment for cancer does not end with the cure – the cure is just the beginning of the treatment. It is appalling to think
of the number of supposedly “cured” cancer patients who continue to die needlessly because they won’t make any personal
effort to guard against recurrence of the disease! “My recovery from cancer is in no way extraordinary or unique. The
recuperative power of the human body from illness to health can only be described as little short of amazing. The cure for
cancer must ultimately lie with the patient himself, and the reward of recovering is only for those who are prepared to
undergo with fortitude some degree of self-denial. “It is one of the most remarkable attributes of the human body that it can adapt itself to changes in habits of eating and
living with extreme flexibility. My Single Meal Routine, initially employed as a desperate measure to check a fatal disease,
has now become to me an established habit, inasmuch as I have come to look upon the three-meal-a-day routine as
something bothersome and tedious. I still adhere – though it is no longer necessary to do so with rigidity – to the raw food
diet, as I consider it a natural preventative against cancer recurrence. “My daily solo running has lost its initial boredom and become a pleasing habit. It has helped me build up a satisfactory
level of health; it has helped me, in my late forties, to maintain my blood pressure at around 120 mm (systolic) and to regain
and relive a youth long lost to ill health and disease. “To those cancer sufferers whose prospects of recovery seem dim, I would say ‘as long as there is still breath in the body
and the will to live, there is always hope... there will always be hope’.”

What problems can people run into during natural healing? When sick people begin to heal and detoxify they often seem to get even sicker. They may get new disease symptoms, like
headaches, colds, skin breakouts, fevers. This can cause some to panic and seek help from medical doctors, who will
prescribe drugs. Not a good idea, since drugs have an immediate effect of stopping the ongoing detox. So using drugs is a serious mistake. By avoiding necessary inner cleansing, people only prolong their disease, or even
make it worse. By allowing the detox, they will get well maximally fast. Is it possible to avoid detoxification symptoms? Orthopathic doctors can either design the natural recovery to be short and efficient with strong symptoms, if they think the
patient can handle it. Or design a really slow detox with very few, if any, symptoms. An example: As a young doctor I had a woman in her 60's who consulted me for high blood pressure. I noticed her fingers
seemed crooked from rheumatism, but didn't ask about it. I gave her an easy-to-follow diet of 3 meals per day - two raw and
one mixed cooked/raw. No water fasting. I adjusted the diet every month or 2 weeks when she came to visit. This was such
a slow detox that she didn't get detoxification symptoms. Her blood pressure improved steadily. When she came to visit the
8th month I noticed that her fingers looked straight, and asked her about it. Yes, she said, my fingers have straightened out

 the Gerson program is
grasped, the patient is reassured and willing to proceed as an equal partner and ally of the doctor
or counselor
Help Comes from the Body
One of the most striking results of the Gerson program is the immediate improvement in
the new patient’s general condition. Pain diminishes, appetite begins to return, sleep improves
within the first few days on the program. This in itself boosts the mood of the patient, who over
the preceding months, if not years, had only experienced deterioration in his or her condition
and a fading of hope. Now the opposite has begun to happen, and it immediately changes the
atmosphere. (Visitors to a Gerson clinic are astonished by its relaxed atmosphere and the patients’
good mood—mealtimes are usually loud with laughter—as opposed to the heavy, sad air of the
average cancer hospital). Needless to say, this changed mood and the accompanying sense of
relief also begin to have a helpful effect on the immune system. However, the healing journey has only just begun, while the need for psychological support
is far from over. The patient is faced with a total change of lifestyle, diet, and daily routine for a
minimum of two years (less in the case of non-malignant conditions). Inevitably it takes a lot of
determination and discipline to stick to the schedule. Equally inevitably after a while boredom
and monotony take their toll: the patient feels restricted and deprived of most social pleasures,
and at times gets sufficiently fed up to want to quit the therapy. When that happens, it is best not
to contradict the patient’s grumbles but, on the contrary, agree that the process is demanding,
restricting and monotonous—and then point out the good results so far, ask tactless questions
such as, “Would you rather have chemotherapy?” or “All right, you quit—and then what?” and
wait for the answer. Above all, remember: this, too, will pass. Boredom can be relieved by providing relevant reading material, tapes and DVDs. Once

www.thegersonway.comindividuals have got a taste of natural medicine, they are keen to find out more about it. Networking
with other Gerson patients or choosing a fresh hobby or study that can be fitted in between juices,
enemas and meals also works well. Interim goal-setting is another good way to break up the monotony: what would the patient
want to achieve in one week, one month and three months? The goals have to be realistic and
modest, and celebrated when they are achieved. The ones that did not work out can be re-phrased
or postponed, but not written off as failures. Problems on the Path
Food can be a tricky issue for some. Many people take to Gerson food at once and enjoy it. Others do not. When they express their dislike vigorously, or even refuse to eat certain essential
foods, they are driven by their deep emotional attachment to certain kinds of food, however
unhealthy. Normally these are the foods their mother gave them in childhood, when food equaled
love, even if it was low-grade junk. Now, at a fraught time even though these people accept the
rightness of the Gerson diet, on a deep non-rational level they reject it. The answer is to remind
the patient that the food on offer is—literally—medicine, that the diet is not for ever, and that
accepting it now is an essential investment in the future. I have found it helpful to make a contract
with the patient, who undertook to stick to the diet meticulously for two weeks and explore its
varied flavors. As a rule quick improvement followed and extending the contract was easy. Firmness is needed when patients wish to bend the dietary rules by committing small lapses
or having occasional “treats.” The only answer is no, for what exactly is small, and how often
does an occasional exception occur? Once the rules are broken, the safe boundaries of the therapy
are damaged; the consequences can be serious. Even so, the rules must be enforced with tact and
affection, otherwise we as carers or therapists end up in the role of the over-strict parent, with
“Thou shalt not” written all over us. Then there is the problem of flare-ups or healing reactions, which can be extremely unpleasant
yet must be welcomed, since they mean that the body is responding to the treatment. The practical
measures for dealing with flare-ups are fully set out elsewhere in this book (see Chapter 16 ). By
way of psychological support the likely symptoms of flare-ups must be explained in advance, so
that the patient doesn’t panic when they set in. Here, too, our calm, reassuring presence is the
best we can offer, especially when physical symptoms are accompanied by behavioral changes. The body can’t detoxify without causing psychological detoxification as well. Toxins passing
through the central nervous system cause strange reactions and out-of-character behavior—anger,
irritability, violent mood swings, aggression and unfair accusations. The patient’s usual civilized
behavior is swept aside by drives and emotions that have been repressed probably since childhood. The adult self is temporarily pushed aside by a raging inner child, until it takes over again amid

sense when a flare-up was in the offing, she told the family that whatever she would do or say in
the next few hours or days, she still loved them dearly.) This, too, has to be prepared for and not taken personally. It is part of the process. In whatever
capacity we work with the patient, we remain calm, caring, and unchanged, waiting for the inner
upheaval to pass. By the time the patient has been restored in body and mind and it comes to the winding down
of the Gerson therapy, the final task is to ensure that the process runs smoothly. Some patients
who used to ask, “Is there life after Gerson?” are now reluctant to let go of the routine. They need
a slow, patient “weaning.” Besides, there is the maintenance routine (see Chapter 23 ), which
they should stick with for the rest of their lives, to safeguard their restored health (At the time of
writing I’ve been happily doing that for 24 years and have no intention of stopping.) There are others who have to be discouraged from rushing back into the disastrous eating
habits that had contributed so much to their disease. As a rule any such temptation is short-lived. Their detoxified, cleared, optimally nourished organisms shrink away from the so-called normal
food they had been dreaming about during the therapy—food heavy with fat, painfully salty and
harsh with synthetic flavors. If their brains don’t object to junk food, their taste buds will. In my experience, after recovery there is no way back into the pre-disease state. Living with
the holistic Gerson Therapy changes you, not only in your lifestyle and eating habits, but also in
your set of values, priorities and general outlook. You have been reborn without the need to die
first, and you may spontaneously decide to help others on the same path, by way of repaying a
debt to life. References:

Overcoming Stress and Tension
In the chapter on the psychological support needed by Gerson patients (see Chapter 24 ) it was
explained how the mind and the body interact every moment of our lives; in other words, how
our moods, emotions and general outlook have a measurable and direct impact on our physical
processes and above all on the immune system, that all-important tool of the healing journey. A
hopeful, trusting, determined state of mind strengthens immune competence; fear, despair, anger


ally troubling you or you’re struggling
with, giv e yourself 20 to 30 minutes to push all the thoughts out. Y ou’re
going to be able to bring back from that silence the solutions to the things
that are such a challenge for you. The greatest tribute you can give yourself is a moment of silence. Much
like when someone passes on w ho is very dear to us, we giv e them that
moment of silence. Give yourself the same tribute, and you’ll find yourself
reaching higher states of awareness. This is perhaps one o f the most
important suggestions I can give you. — Lighten your load. Go  through all of the possessions that you no
longer use, and share them with others. Y ou can do this w ith virtually
everything you own. Do it both  to be charitable and to ease you r load. Just
lighten up a little bit, and don’ t tell yourself that you must have these things. Whatever you feel you need owns you, and you can’ t be enligh tened when
you are owned by a bunch of stuf f. — Dir ect your attention to that which pleases you. Remember that
what you think about is what expands, so keep your mental en er gy on that
which is  pleasin g and inspiring. Every time you have a thought that doesn’ t
fill the bill, very gently move it out to say, “Next. ” Pass that one along and
keep your attention focused on something higher. Instead of putting on the television and listening to all of the distressing
news an d seekin g out the kinds of things that only serve to bring you down,put on some gentle music. T r y to get out of the habit of having your
attention distracted with negativity, which is what the media is really
pushing on us to day. Surround yourself with positivity—be it by  putting on
uplifting music or audio progra ms or just focusing on your empowering
thoughts—and y ou’ll see heightened awareness showing up in your life
each and every day. As y ou continue along your in dividual process of awakening,  can you
look back on the “dream” you’ ve been living so far. The ego may try to
convince you that you can’ t rea lly change, that things are the way they are
and that’ s that. When you he ar those messages, remind yourself that
whatever universal law that has ever allowed any miracle to transpire in the
history o f humanity, that law has  never been repealed. It’ s still on the books,
and it is an ener gy that is always available to you. The ego also insists that the world of form is where you belong, this is
your place, this is home. Y our higher self knows that this is just a transitory
stop, for who you truly are is eternal, formless, and changeless, and could
never be contained here. Y ou can, however, enjoy heaven on earth, and it’ s
all courtesy of your higher self. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Whether	you	are	an	enthusiast	or	you	are	new	to	juicing,	you	are	aware	of	the
fact	that	we	need	fruits	and	vegetables	on	a	daily	basis. According	to	many	types
of	research,	we	should	eat	three	to	four	vegetables	and	two	fruits	a	day. The	rule
is	simple:	Choose	fruits	and	vegetables	in	different	colors! Therefore,	you	are
fully	aware	that	you	should	find	a	way	to	get	more	natural	food	into	your	diet. As	you	probably	already	know	juicing	is	an	easy	and	fun	way	to	get	a	lot	of
beneficial	vitamins,	minerals,	fiber,
etc. There	is	one	more	important	question:	how	much	water	we	should	be	drinking? According	to	The	Institute	of	Medicine	–	women	should	drink	9	cups	(2.2	liters)
of	total	liquids	per	day,	and	men	should	drink	13	cups	(3	liters)	of	total	liquids
per	day. Anyhow,	hydration	is	key	to	health,	anti-aging,	and	happiness. There	are	a	lot	of	extraordinary	beverages	that	you	can	drink	every	day. Apart
from	juices,	there	are	fruit	teas	and	fruit	infused	waters,	so	you	are	able	to	stay
hydrated	and	energized	all	day	long. Effortlessly,	with	much	joy! This	recipe
collection	offers	three	hundred	awesome	recipes	for	the	best	juice	combinations,
herbal	and	fruit	teas,	and	fabulous	infused	waters	and	flavored	waters. Long
story	short,	the	secret	of	hydration	and	natural	food	is	now	available	to	you!Juicing	–	Your	Secret	to	Health,	Vitality	&	Youth
It	is	hard	to	argue	against	the	advantages	of	eating	raw	fruits	and	vegetables. However,	modern	men's	day	has	become	more	hectic,	and	we	do	not	always
have	time	to	sit	at	the	table	and	chew	fresh	salads	and	fruits. Eating	eight
portions	of	fruits	and	vegetables	every	day	becomes	‘Mission	impossible’. Nevertheless,	there	is	a	solution. Juicing! It	makes	sense	if	you	tend	to	maximize
health	benefits	and	minimize	preparation	time	and	costs. Good	for	our	overall
health,	simple	juices	can	offer	a	lot	of	advantages. Therefore,	juicing	is	a	great
way	to	step	into	the	magical	world	of	raw	natural	food. There	are	a	lot	of	benefits	of	juicing:

1. Increase	your	nutrient	absorption. Juicing	can	help	you	to	absorb	all	the
nutrients	from	the	fresh	food. Further,	the	combination	of	ingredients	is
a	very	important	issue. Some	ingredients	can	help	better	absorption	of
minerals	and	vitamins	from	the	other	ingredients. For	instance,	citrus
fruits	are	rich	in	vitamin	C,	so	they	help	to	enhance	iron	absorption. 1. Juicing	improves	your	digestion
. It	will	help	to	"pre-digest"	the	food	for
you. Therefore,	you	need	less	energy	to	digest	your	meal	in	liquid	form. 1. A	varied	and	well-balanced	diet. With	endless	combinations	of
ingredients,	you	will	be	able	to	add	a	wider	variety	of	fresh	foods	to	your
diet. You	can	mix	fruits,	vegetables,	dried	fruits,	sprouts,	greens,	natural
sweeteners,	and	so	on. Your	body	will	thank	you! 1. Lose	weight	and	detoxify	your	body	by	juicing
. In	order	to	lose	your
pounds,	you	can	drink	a	juice	as	a	meal	replacement,	delicious	snack,	or
a	great	healthy	supplement	to	your	meals. A	well-balanced	juicing	plan
may	lead	to	weight	loss	on	a	healthy	way. Doing	a	juice	cleanse	has
been	considered	as	a	great	way	to	lose	pounds,	flush	your	body	clean	of
toxins,	and	stay	healthy	at	the	same	time. Which	juices	to	drink? The	possibilities	are	endless	so	you	could	get	confused. People	drink	juices	for	various	reasons. This	recipe	collection	contains	onehundred	fifty	most	powerful	juice	recipes	for	everyone. Further,	you	can	find	the
possible	benefits	of	the	juices	in	the	book. This	information	is	for	guidance	only. For	that	reason,	if	you	are	diagnosed	with	any	disease	or	you	should	follow	some
certain	dietary	regimen,	it	is	the	best	to	consult	your	physician	or	registered
nutritionist. After	that,	you	can	choose	the	best	juices	for	your	medical
condition. Otherwise,	if	you	are	completely	healthy,	go	for	it	and	try	every
possible	combination. Let	your	imagination	fly	and	experiment	with	ingredients! Unleash	your	inner	power! Give	the	purest	form	of	fuel	to	your	body	directly
from	nature! This	handy	book	gives	you	all	you	need	to	make	delicious	and	healthy	juices	for
the	whole	family. You	will	get	a	lot	of	tips,	tricks,	and	guidelines	to	make
juicing	super	healthy	and	easier	than	ever. Step	into	the	world	of	juicing	right
from	your	own	kitchen!Tea	Break	–	Discover	the	World	of	Tea

Dostoyevsky,	Notes	from	Underground. Winter	days. Hot	summer	nights. Chilly	autumn	days. There	are	a	lot	of
occasions	to	have	your	cup	of	tea. In	terms	of	tea,	we	often	think	about	a	simple
warm	drink. Tea	is	more	than	that. With	this	book,	you	will	get	fifty	amazing
iced	tea	recipes. Add	delectable	seasonal	fruits,	fresh	herbs	and	great	spices	to
your	tea	in	order	to	add	nutrients	and	natural	flavors. Then,	you	can	chill	it	in	a
fridge,	add	some	ice	and	enjoy! Here	are	health	benefits	of	drinking	iced	tea:
1. Reduce	sugar	intake. Unsweetened	iced	tea	is	lower	in	sugar	than	most	of
the	other	refreshing	drinks. It	is	very	important	for	diabetics	as	well	as
for	those	with	weight	problems. This	recipe	collection	encourages
healthy	lifestyles	and	promotes	healthy	no	sugar	added	iced	teas. Therefore,	we	don’t	use	sweeteners	or	we	use	natural	sweeteners

if	we
have	to. 1. Prevent	diseases. Drinking	black	tea	might	help	prevent	heart	attack. Green	tea	may	lower	a	risk	of	cancer. Tea	might	help	prevent
neurological	disorders	and	heart	diseases. 1. Boost	our	mental	performance
. Tea	can	improve	learning	and	memory
because	of	caffeine,	which	can	improve	our	mental	alertness. Anyway,
there	are	herbal	teas	that	have	no	caffeine. 1. Antioxidants
. Iced	tea	is	loaded	with	antioxidants	which	are	beneficial	for
our	overall	health. 1. Source	of	minerals

Armstrong. According
to
him,

occurs
in
people
of
different
ages
as
follows:
in
youth
within
14
days,
in
36-year -olds
in
42
days,
in
55-year -olds
in
53
days,
in
75-year -olds
in
60
days. Armstrong
promises
not
only
improvement
of
general
health,
but
also
strengthening
of
hearing
and
sight,
activity
and
energy,
healthy
skin
color. (I
am
55
years
old
and
for
prevention
and
immunity
it
is
enough
for
me
to
drink
a
glass
of
morning
urine
and
do
an
enema
with
the
urine
that
I
collect
within
24
hours. I
do
not
do
urine

I
just
add
decoctions
of
herbs,
salt
and
part
of
the
collected
urine
to
my
bath
every
day. Now
also
seaweed

regaining
health,
it
is
necessary
to
continue
to
take
urine,
alternate
walking
with
a
gentle
jog,
engage
in
water
procedures
and
hardening,
and
occasionally
starve
as
a
precaution. Example:
The
patient,
51
years
old,
who
had
been
dependent
on
aerosol
preparations
for
eight
years,
cured
his
asthma
in
3
months
with
the
above
method. Now
he
works
as
a
driver. With
bronchial
asthma,
it
is
necessary
to
understand
the
very
essence
of
the
disease
-
the
accumulation
of
a
large
amount
of
mucus
and
a
significant
shift
towards
an
alkaline,
putrid
environment. To
heal,
a
return
to
an
acidic
environment,
exclusion
of
pathogenic
alkaline
influences
of
the
internal
environment
and
mucus
is
necessary. When
treating
asthma,
it
is
necessary
to
eat
a
lot
of
dried
fruit,
bread
from
sprouted
grain
or
dried
sprouts,
stewed
vegetables
without
butter. Such
a
diet
together
with
urinotherapy
and
fasting
brings
100%
success. Urinotherapy

John

the
cure
of
syphilis
and
psoriasis
in
a
young
man
in
a
few
weeks
by
the
method
of
urine
therapy
and
starvation. In
any
case,
any
treatment
with
the
help
of
self-miracle
drugs
will
not
be
successful
if
the
internal
environment
does
not
shift
from
alkaline
(putrefying)
to
acidic. Without
cleansing
the
body,
any
medicine
has
only
a
temporary
effect. In
the
same
way
(drinking
urine,
massages,
poultices,
fasting),
Armstrong
cured
in
26
days
the

and
similar
casesFor

problems,
it
is
enough
to
drink
urine
once
a
day,
do
a
massage
and
compresses
with
evaporated
quarter
urine
on
the
affected
area. Acidification
of
a
given
part
or
the
whole
body

results,
leads
to
healing. Wounds
heal
better
during
the
day. Example
from
John
Armstrong's
book:
"The
doctor
insisted
on
amputating
the
leg
two
years
ago. The
patient
received
treatment,
but
her
condition
did
not
improve. She
suffered
from
constipation,
hemorrhoids,
eczema,
anemia,
insomnia,
general
depression,
her
tongue
hurt,
the
corners
of
her
mouth
cracked,
gangrene
in
her
leg
was
spreading. The
woman
was
strong-willed
and
I
easily
convinced
her
to
drink
her
own
urine
and
up
to
1.5
liters
of
cold
water
a
day. After
the
first
five
days,
the
skin
cracks
started
to
disappear. At
the
end
of
the
week,
the
colon
and
kidneys
started
to
function
normally,
the
hemorrhoids
disappeared. After
four
months
there
was
no
sign
of
the
gangrene. The
swelling
on
the
leg
disappeared,
new,
healthy
skin
appeared
on
the
affected
areas. After
fasting
for
a
month
on
water
and
urine,
the
patient
ate
grapes,
bananas
and
tomatoes
in
small
quantities
for
the
first
week,
freshly
milked
milk
was
added
during
the
second
week,
and
the
woman
began
to
eat
a
normal
diet
during
the
third
week. Comment
and
recommendation:
Constipation
poisoned
the
entire
organism
and
shifted
it
towards
an
alkaline,
putrid
environment. This
woman
began
to
slowly
decompose,
anemia,
eczema

to
eliminate
harmful
substances)
appeared.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        One
of
the
main
causes
of
infection
in
the
kidneys
and
urinary
tract
(in
70
to
90%)
is
Escherichia
coli. There
are
also
various
anaerobes,
purulent
staphylococcus,
enterococcus,
bacillus
causing
blue
pus
and
others. Where
do
these
bacteria
come
from
and
how
do
they
enter
the
urinary
system. They
all
come
from
the
large
intestine
where
putrefaction
occurs. These
bacteria
multiply
during
them. The
intestinal
bacillus
multiplies
and
instead
of
serving
the
organism,
becomes
pathogenic
or
disease-causing. The
cause
of
rotting
in
the
colon
is
our
unhealthy
diet. Therefore,
the
treatment
procedure
for
kidney
problems
must
be
as
follows:
transition
to
a
moderate
and
separate
diet,
cleansing
of
the
large
intestine(its
acidification
with
enemas
with
variously
treated
urine)
and
only
then
direct
action

  t h e  t w e n t i e t h  c e n t u r y :  After Patanjali, yoga was further compressed and rewritten. The Bhagavad
Gita described it as more of a mystical and metaphysical practice, a spiritual tool to be used to
bring self-realization and enlightenment. The Hatha tradition of yoga, which was formally
developed in the 1400s, used the ancient techniques to honor the Lord Shiva and converted the
seated asanas into 15 poses, many of them in a standing position. “Contesting Y oga’ s Past: A

recording like the one I heard so many years ago. Anyone who wants to try Sudarshan Kriya
will need to head out to an Art of Living outpost or scour the Internet for a bootleg. I’ve done
both. o r  a n y  o t h e r  b r e a t h i n g  p r a c t i c e :  This is one reason why randomly hyperventilating or practicing

MANY PEOPLE CONFUSE TURNIPS (BRASSICA RAP A)  with
rutabaga (Brassica napobrassica). T urnip s are small, round/oval root
vegetables with white, green or purplish crowns. Y ou can eat the green, thin
leaves o r cook them as a pot-h erb in soups and stews. T urnips are milder
than parsnips, but can be hot and peppery, depending on the variety. Good Pr eserving V arieties
Some Asian varieties, while excellent raw in salads, are not the best for
preserving. One exception is T okyo  turnip (also called T okyo White,
T okyo Market  or T okyo Cr oss). It is hot
and nipp y like a radish when ea ten raw, but it mellows to a but tery flavour
when cooked, so it would be good in a frozen purée. Amber Globe:  An heirloom turnip that originated in Aberdeen, Scotland;
it’ s rare, but if you can find see ds, plant and eat, saving the seeds, because
the flesh  is sweet, fine-grained and creamy coloured; very good for cooking
and freezing. Golden Ball:  Also known as Golden Perfection  or Orange
Jelly;  a la ter variety that is small, rou nd and yellow; tasty and excellent for
pickles. Manchester Market:  Round, with green skin and white flesh; stores well.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

can divi de the r ecipe by 4 and use 1 fr esh fennel bulb for a gr eat summer
side dish. MAKES 4 QUAR TS (4 L)
4 fennel bulbs1 gallon (4 L) water
1/4 cup (50 mL) lemon juice
4 cups (1 L) canned, drained or fr esh
skinned tomatoes, halved or chopped grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
1–1/4 cups (300 mL) packed br own sugar
1–1/4 cups (300 mL) white wine
3 tbsp (45 mL) fr esh thyme leaves
4 cloves garlic,
peeled 4 bay leaves
8 coriander seeds

1. Cut fennel bu lbs into quarters. In lar ge pot, combine water and 1/4 cup
(50 mL) lemon juice. Immerse fennel in water. Set aside. 2. Heat four 1-quart (1 L) jars in boiling water, and scald the  lids, lifter,
funnel and tongs ( Boiling W ater Method, Step by Step ). 3. In a Maslin pan or canning kettle, combine tomatoes, lemon rind and
juice, sugar, wine and thyme leaves. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring
constantly. Boil,  stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Drain fennel quarters and
add to pan. Boil gently, stirring occasionally, for about 7 minutes or until
fennel is tender -crisp but still intact. 4. Using tongs, lift fennel quar ters out of tomato sauce and fill hot jars,
leaving a 1-inch (2. 5 cm) headspace. Add 1 garlic clove, 1 bay leaf and 2
coriander seeds to each jar. Ladle tomato sauce over fennel, leaving a 1/2-
inch (1 cm) headspace. Run a thin non-metallic utensil around the inside of
the j ar to allow air to escape. Add more hot sauce, if necessary, to leave a
1/2-inch (1 cm) headspace. W ipe rims, top with flat lids and screw on metal
rings. Return jars to the hot water bath, topping up with h ot water if
necessary. Bring  to a full rolling boil and process jars for 15 minutes
( Boiling W ater Method, Step by Step ). 5. Remo ve cann er lid and wait 5 minutes before removing jars t o a towel or
rack to cool com pletely. Check seals, label and store in a cool place for up
to 1 year. Use: For an ele gant side dish, e mpty the contents of a quart (1 L) jar into
a casserole dish. Combine 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) fresh or dry bread crumbs,
1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped walnuts, 2 cloves garlic, chopped, and 3 tbsp
(45 mL) olive o il. Pat over the top of the fennel and bake in a 350°F
(180°C) oven for 15 to 25 minutes or until top is golden and bubbly and
fennel is heated through. Alternatively,  you can divide the finnochio
among 4 small casserole dishes, top with the bread crumbs, bake and
serve as a starter. Add fin occhio to cooked potatoes or carrots, or combine with more
canned tomatoes for a great wi nter soup. It can be used to po ach fish or
vegetables for a winter stew. Make a carrot confit: Shave thin ribbons from 2 carrots. In a deep
saucepan, heat 1 cup (250 mL) olive oil over low heat until warm. Add
carrots and cook gently, stirri ng occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes or
until tender-crisp. Drain well. Meanwhile in another saucepan, heat
finocchio. Add carrots and mix well. Serve warm or at room temperature. Drying Fennel Leaves
Snip the feathery leaves from stalks and set aside in a warm, dark spot to dry. When
dry, t ransfer to an airtight and dark container and use as a seasoning for salsas and
tomato sauces and as a pickle brine for preserves. r o a s t e d  t o m a t o,  f e n n e l  a n d  b a s i l  r e l i s hI ha ve always m arvelled that tomatoes and basil, such a per fect match,
ripen at  the same time, as if the  two wer e divinely or dained. C ombined in
this rich ly ar om atic sauce, they help to make it extraor dinary. Ther e is no
doubt about it—this is a sophisticated sauce. Be sur e to use plum or Roma tomatoes because they ar e meaty and can
stand up to the r oasting. 2 rimmed baking sheets, lightly oiled
