 go to bed tired! They push all kinds
of stimu lants (coffee, sugars, cola drinks, alcohol and pills) into themselves
to try to keep going during the day. Then they swallow sleeping pills to try
and get to sleep at night! If this describes you, take notice and change your
lifestyle toward s health today! Also to enhance sleep try one of the new
memory foam 2” mattress toppers. Don’ t waste another precious day – start
now on your Bragg Healthy Lifestyle!
The Ignorant Ridicule the Health-MindedThese same half-dead creature s are always ready to say cruel things!
They ridicule those who strive to take better care of themselves by
becoming the “Health Captains” of their health and taking constructive
control of their own lifestyles! Please be strong and ignore them!
To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals.  – Benjamin Franklin
During your weekly 24 hour fast try to avoid criticizing anyone or anything! Fill yourself only with
loving, positive thoughts, not only on your fasting and cleansing days, but everyday! Befor e you
speak put your wor ds to this test:
Ask yourself: Is it good? Is it kind? Is it necessary?  – Patricia Bragg

Health people like us are often called “fanatics”, “food cranks” and
“health nuts”. The big producers of refined, fast junk foods are largely
responsible for these unfair rema rks about the millions of us who are vitally
interested in good nutrition, organic foods, natural living and alternative
health practices! If living by Natural Laws of Mother Nature and God is
being a fanatic, then we will lay claim to being the biggest fanatics in this
world! We guard our health and will do so throughout our entire, long lives!
We love with a passion being Health Crusaders and inspiring our readers to
attain this precious T otal Health and enjoy longevity!
When you decide to follow The Toxicless Diet, Body Purification and
Healing System you should not necessarily tell your relatives, in-laws or
friends! It is strictly a personal matter until you are on The Bragg Healthy
Lifestyle 100% and can then demonstrate its incredible health benefits! Tell
only the ones whom it is absolu tely necessary to tell when you begin. The
average person who stuffs three  big meals a day into their stom ach thinks
illness, premature old-age and death are something that is out of their
control. They are wrong.
We call many of these people “the uninformed, unthinking living dead!”
They are full of internal body corruption! They are so toxic – so filled with
internal clogging – that they are most often negative towards any positive
lifestyle changes  that will take effort, time and willpower. They  will have a
flush of youth in their early years and then they will start to decline after 30.We never argue with these “living dead”! We never allow ourselves to be
affected by, or to sink down to, their negative mental attitude. We know
what The Toxicless Diet, Body  Purification and Healing System has done
for us. We know what it has done for the entire Bragg family – the children,
grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Why should we waste our precious
energies trying to convince some toxin-loaded, willfully health-ignorant
person who could care less about the value of good nutrition and living a
healthy lifestyle? There are millions of deserving people out there who we
are reaching with our health message – you are one!
More About the Transition Diet
Now we come to the evening meal. There should always be at least 4 to 5
hours between each meal. The digestive system must have time to do its
important work efficiently. The evening meal must start with some kind of
fresh vegetable salad or raw fruit. If at the noon meal you had a large raw
vegetable salad, now you might want a different raw salad. Maybe you
would enjoy just a large coleslaw (grated or chopped cabbag e) salad; a
cabbage, raisin and carrot salad or a raw grated beet and cabbage salad.
There are so many healthy salads a person can select! We have so many
salad and dressing recipes in our Bragg Vegetarian Recipe Book. There are
hundreds of easy-to-prepare, tempting, delicious, healthy recipes to help
you make your meal planning easy and fun!! See back pages for Bragg
booklist.
Many people like to change occasionally from the raw vegetable salad to
some kind of fruit salad. This is perfectly fine since a delicious fruit salad is
not only tasty, but it is a real toxin fighter! Fresh fruits are very aggressive.
They will help dissolve and flush the toxic poisons out of the body. You
should eat your fruit salad at the first part of the meal. Our principle is
always to eat something raw at the beginning of meals. But when you eat a
fruit salad at the beginning of the meal you should always wait 10 minutes
before you start eating your hot food. Fruit leaves the stomach very quickly
and prepares the way for the hot foods.
You may now have 2 cooked vegetables – one of them  should be from the
yellow variety and the other from  the green variety. You could have a dish
of lightly steamed or baked carrots and peas or a dish of steamed greenssuch as chard, kale, spinach, mustard or turnip greens with tomatoes and
garlic. These yellow and green vegetables are rich in vital vitamins,
minerals and other wonderful nutrients. We prefer you start now to enjoy
healthier vegetarian meals. Slowly wean yourself off animal protein foods
and dairy products. Remember the body requires only a small amount of
protein, see page 15. No one can tell you exactly just how much of these
animal foods you can tolerate without problems arising.
The secr et of longevity is eating intelligently. – Gaylord Hauser

Animal protein foods (meats, fish, eggs and dairy products) if you want
to eat them, should be used with great discretion! It’s wise to change over to
healthier vegetarian proteins. Personally, we love the delicious vegetarian
recipes! Try this for 3 to 4 days and you will soon note the health benefits
you feel in your journal. If you crave a sweet after a meal, you may have
fresh baked apples, stewed fruit or an occasional health pie, pastry, cake or
cookies made with whole grain flour and honey for dessert. You will enjoy
our recipe book – it contains a large variety of healthy dessert recipes. It’s
best to avoid the daily habit of desserts, however, as it’ s just another form of
overeating! After you have had enough to eat – stop! Forget desserts, only
have them once or twice weekly or on special occasions as a treat!
“Good Earth” Founder Thanks Bragg Books
Bill Galt, the founder of The Good Earth Restaurant chain, charged
himself with Super Health and changed his entire life after reading Bragg
books Miracle of Fasting and The Bragg’ s Vegetarian Recipes. His entire
family followed The Bragg Healthy Lifestyle. Their friends and associates
wanted to know what was the cause of the miraculous changes they saw in
the Galts! Their friends wanted what they had – Super Health! Bill and his
family started a tiny restauran t that served only lunches. An overnight
success, they started serving a full vegetarian menu all day. Soon they
expanded and opened a chain of health restaurants, all serving delicious
healthy food based on The Bragg Healthy Lifestyle! We were blessed to
have a Good Earth Restaurant in Santa Barbara. Many Hollywood Stars
often ate there, including Jack LaLanne.Patricia with Bill Galt

What you eat and drink becomes your body chemistry. Eat
Healthy to Become Healthy!
Learn to Simplify and Enjoy Your Meals
Eating should be one of the greatest joys of life! There is a rule we follow
in the Bragg home: Always get up from the table feeling you could eat just
a little more. Remember that you can also overeat on good, healthy food!
The simpler the meal, the better! Most animals live on a mono-diet; that is
they eat only one item of food at each meal, and they rarely suffer from the
digestive distress man suffers from. Modern man often desires to
overindulge with the six-course dinner or the buffet dinner spread, eating
too many mixtures and very often overeating, which only compounds the
abuse!
Go for simplicit y in your eating! You will find that the fewer items of
food there are at a meal, the less you are tempted to overeat! Make the meal
a happy occasion! If it’s getting dark, eat by candlelight and play beautiful,
soft music on your radio. Always take time to chew your food thoroughly
and enjoy your healthy meals! Mealtime is no time for serious discussion or
arguments! It’ s a pleasurable, healthy-refueling time in your life!
Always remember that what you eat and drink today walks and talks
tomorrow – it becomes you! You are building yourself with the food you
are eating! Give thanks to God and Mother Nature for your meal before youstart to eat! It’s good for the digestion to be peaceful and say grace! As you
eat, millions the world over will go to bed hungry. Malnu trition and
starvation are killing millions this very minute, so be thankful for the
healthy food you eat! Be thankf ul you have been led to The Bragg Healthy
Lifestyle that will keep you healthier,


 does
not separate cause from eect; instead, the one invariably turns into
the other in an ever-repeating cycle of metamorphosis. The day does
not cause the night, birth does not cause death, summe r does not
cause winter, but one precedes and the other follows. Life is a game
of leapfrog with events tumbling over each other in a perpetual
cascade. The chicken makes the egg— Yang generates Yin— but the
chicken grows out of the egg—Yin produces Yang. They are only
mutually generative. Which came rst (linear logic) matters less
than how they interact (systems, dialectical, relational logic).
All states, events, and mome nts can be characterized as being Yin
or Yang, relative aspects of an alternating cycle along a single
continuum. Yin is at the core, sinking, conde nsed, and internal. Yang
is at the surface, rising, dispersed, and external. The humidity of the
air accumulates and condenses into clouds. This dense mass of vapor
(Yin) builds until the moment of discharge (Yang), when the weight
and density of the moisture transforms into thunder, lightning, and
rain. Relative to each other, Yin is quiescent, static, and contracting,
whereas Yang is dynamic, active, and expansive.
Yin responds to Yang’s stimulus, and Yang is supported by the
solidity of Yin. Yin  is dense and hidden, while Yang is dispersed and
exposed. In a candle, the beeswax and wick are the material
foundation: solid, heavy, Yin; the ame, which moves upward, is
insubstantial in nature: bright, hot, Yang. The interactio n of the two
is what produces the useful light and heat and reects the
interaction of matter and energy. Their dependence on each other
renders them inseparable. Yang makes things happen. It transforms.
Yin provides the material basis for the transforming power of Yang.
Energy—heat, activity, light—transforms matter. If Yin is a noun,
then Yang is a verb, and life is a complete sentence.Yin-Yang  Tidal Flow of Rhythm
The processes in nature and in the life of living organisms
correspond to the stages of transformation of Yin-Yang  manifested
by seasonal, diurnal, developmental, and physiological cycles of
ourishing and withering, lightening and darkening, beginning and
ending, expanding and contracting.
If Yin-Yang  is likened to a battleground, the fort represents the
Yin. Relatively hidden and protected from threat, it shelters the
noncombatants and food. The fort stores the potential or reserve
energy. The eld of battle is exposed, relatively unprotected, Yang.
Upon it the precious stored-up Yin substance is transformed into
Yang activity.Health is dened as the poised balance between Yin-Yang, and
sickness is the result of a deciency or excess, a Yin-Yang
disharmony. Survival is based  on an organism’s capacity to adapt to
changing conditions and maintain equilibrium. Yin-Yang  harmony is
a metaphor for sustaining adaptability and equilibrium.
YIN-YANG AND THE  HUMAN BODY
Yin-Yang  also describes human process. The stages of life go from
conception to birth, growth, decline, and death. Our youth (Yang) is
like the hare—quick, capricious, erratic, and light. Our older years
(Yin) are more like the tortoise—slow, deliberate, dense, and
persevering.
When we expand and ll out chests with air, we are in the Yang
phase of respiration; when we exhale and empty our lungs, we are
in the contractive Yin phase.  We perpetually ll and empty our
stomachs, our lungs, our hearts, our minds. We are active (Yang)
and lie quiet and rest ( Yin).
Yin is the materi al basis, tissue, for the transforming power of
Yang, which reorga nizes and regenerates. Food (Yin) is transmuted
by metabolic activity (Yang) into more substance (tissue ) and more
energy (heat and metabolic activity). The sperm (Yang) joins the egg
(Yin), and new life is created by their merger and interaction. Thus
the sperm mobilizes and transforms the substance provided by the
egg. The sperm derives its propulsive and activating power from the
male (Yang), and the egg derives its receptive and nurturing power
from the female ( Yin).
The internal organs of the body, hidden and protected from
external inue nce, are Yin relative to the exposed skin and muscle,
which are Yang. The lower part of the body is in contact or rooted to
the ground, Yin, where as the upper body is able to move freely,
Yang, even when the legs are rigid. The front of the body is
protected by folding the arms and legs to enclose the chest and
abdomen, whereas the back of the body is relatively exposed. Hence
the front is more Yin relative to the back, which is Yang.Immunity functions as the rst line of defense: guarding the
surface protects against internal harm. Using our battle analogy, the
eld army wards o attacks on the fort. If they get cut o from the
fort, the troops  will run out of ammunition and food. If the Yang is
weak, the body is unable to ward o attack and enemy forces
penetrate the protective walls. If the Yin forces of the fort are not
strong, supplie s and food are insucient to meet the ghters’ need
to refuel the energy they have expended. The Yin fort provides the
substance that sustains the Yang activity in the eld. Without
substance, activity is weakened; without activity, substance is
insecure and unprotected. They mutually support each other as an
interdependent and indivisible system.
The exterior surface of the human body (skin, hair, supercial
nerves, and blood vessels) is exposed and therefore Yang. The
internal struct ures (viscera, bones, brain, and spinal cord) are the
basis of sustenance and therefore Yin. The internal Organs  can be
further dierentiated into the “hollow” Organs  (Yang), which
perform functions of digestion and elimination (catabolism), and the
“solid” Organs  (Yin), which  perfor m the function of assimilation and
storage (anabolism). The solid Organs  are analogous to the rock that
soaks up the sunlight and stores this energy as heat for later use,
much like a passive solar heater. The hollow Organs  can be likened
to a water wheel, which is capable of transforming the movement of
water into energy for work. The water wheel itself canno t store up
energy, and the heated rock cannot perform work directly.
Together, as Yin and Yang, a paired solid and hollow Organ
comprise Organ Networks  (comm only referred to by the Yin Organ
name). The dense Yin Organs  of the Liver, Heart, Spleen, Lung, and
Kidney  store the essential and potential energy derived from
substances; the hollow Yang Organs  of the Gallbladder, Small
Intestine, Stoma ch, Large Intestine, and Bladder  process the substances
of the external environment. However, Yin and Yang are relative,
not absolute designations: the Heart  is a “solid” Organ  and therefore
Yin, yet its propulsive contraction while squeezing the blood
through the vessels is Yang. This is what is meant by the Yang
within the Yin.QI, M OISTURE, AND  BLOOD
In the human body, Qi and Blood  are manifestations of Yang and Yin
respectively. The concept of substance as Yin and activity as Yang is
illustrated by the following: the Blood  itself is Yin; the activity of the
blood circulat ing is Yang. The mucus itself is Yin; its secretion,
movement, and expectoration are Yang. Urine and perspiration are
Yin; the ltration process that generates urine and the heat that
promotes perspiration is Yang. Nutrient substances are Yin; the
metabolic activity of digestion is Yang.
Water has a Yin nature. Blood  has a Yin nature. Like water, Blood
is a soft, yielding substance that takes on the form of its container.
Moist and dense, it is the medium for the nutritive essence that
feeds the tissues of the body. The Blood  is also considered the
medium of the mind insofar as it carries information (in Western
terms this takes the form of chemical messengers or horm ones) that
regulates body function. Blood  has the natur e of Yin, but Yin is not
the same as Blood. Yin is a universal principle, a concept, an aspect
of a dynamic process, whereas Blood  is a substance  that exists in the
living body. The Qi (Yang) moves the Blood  (Yin).
Fire has a Yang nature. Qi has a Yang nature. Like re, Qi is
insubstantial, mobile, changeable, a catalyst for movement and
transformation. In fact, Qi is synonymous with movement and
process. Blood  and Qi are as insepa rable as Yin-Yang. If they are
separated, the Blood  does not move  and the Qi has no basis, so


 a deep vessel, almost cover with warm
water. Put in a cool place and let stand over night. Then add a
small quantity of rich, warm milk, about two hours before
serving; warm and serve with thick cream.

KRAUT.
Shred or chop fine selected white cabbage. Pack a layer
in bottom of deep stone or wooden vessel. Add a light layer
of salt. Alternate layers of ca bbage and salt until the vessel is
filled, using about one scant cup of salt to,an ordinary
cabbage. Pack down very hard, placing on the top a heavy
weight, so as to keep the cabbage beneath the brine. Cover
with heavy linen cloth, which should be washed thoroughly every day for about two weeks. Soak in cold water a few
minutes before serving.
FLESH FOODS.

FLESH  foods and sea foods have become the second most
important article of diet among all civilized people. This is
due very largely to preparation —to cooking. The adoption of
uncooked food will bring both the body and the appetite to a
state of normality which will naturally and gradually abolish
all flesh as food, but in order to pay the proper respect to the
laws of heredity and environm ent and aid the beginner in
taking the kinks of custom out of his daily habits, we give
below a few flesh food recipes.

BEEFSTEAK A LA TARTAR.
 Steak,   Salt,
 Onions,   Green Peppers,
 Pepper,   Parsley,
Eggs.
Take a porterhouse or sirloin steak of the size desired.
Grind very fine. Mix with minced onion, pepper and salt.
Mound up on a small platter, ma ke a depression in the top in
which put the unbroken yolk of an egg. Garnish with green
pepper and parsley, and serve.

CHIPPED BEEF IN CREAM.
Shave dried beef very fine. Pour over it warm water and
let stand for a few minutes. Pour this off and pour on thick
cream with a little parsley choppe d fine. Garnish with parsley
and serve.

CLAMS AND OYSTERS.
These articles do not possess any very great food
properties and when taken uncooked they are more
nourishing and less harmful. They should never be eaten with
catsup, vinegar, horseradish or sauces.

DRIED AND SMOKED FISH.
Herring, anchovias, smoked salmon or any dried fish can
be made quite palatable by seasoning thoroughly and soaking
5 to 10  minutes in very warm water.
EGGS.

EGGS constitute a very important article of food. They
contain about 14 per cent. protein, 10 per cent. fat, 1 per cent.
mineral salts, 73 per cent. water, and give to the body about
725 calories of heat to the pound. Their heat producing power
and nutritive elements are well balanced, showing that they
are a substantial food. An egg sh ould never be cooked. In its
natural state it is easily dissolved and readily taken up by all
the organs of digestion, but the cooked egg must be brought
back to liquid form before it can  be digested, which puts extra
and unnecessary labor upon these over-worked organs.

FRUIT EGG-NOG.
Beat one raw egg quite stiff. Add one-half glass grape
juice, beat well. Then add one-half glass of cream. Beat
thoroughly and use at once. This is a full meal for an invalid.

FAMILY EGG-NOG.
Two eggs stiffly beaten stirred into one quart of rich
milk. A little grated nutmeg, or a spoonful of fruit juice and
whipped cream added to the egg-nog will improve the taste
very materially.

EGGS PLAIN.
Eggs can be taken by breaking them one at a time into a
glass and swallowing them whole. Four or five eggs used in
this manner constitute a good and healthful meal, and are
especially recommended for those desiring to gain in flesh.

BEATEN EGGS.
Two eggs lightly beaten, to which may be added a little
lemon juice and cream, make an  excellent beverage—one that
combines with all other foods.

WHIPPED EGGS.
Break into a small soup bowl two or three eggs. Whip to
a froth. Add to this any fruit juice desired. This should be
eaten with other foods which require mastication.

EGG CREAM.
Whip the whites of two eggs until quite stiff, adding to
this one glass of rich milk for a beverage.
Cream can be used instead of milk, whipped lightly with
the eggs, which makes a most delicious cream to use over
fruits.
Note:—The whites of eggs mixed with cream or rich
milk make one of the most nourishing and easily assimilated
foods known. It is especially recommended for those
suffering from rheumatism or stiffness and sluggishness when arising in the morning. It is also recommended to those
desiring to gain in weight. From one to two dozen eggs can
be taken daily, together with two to three quarts of milk.

ORANGE EGG.
Separate the white and yolk, whipping each to a stiff
froth, add slowly to the yolk the juice of one sweet orange
whipping continuously, then add the beaten white, whipping
it all to a creamy froth.
The proportion is one medium size orange to each egg.
Serve as egg-nogg.
CEREALS.

THE popular belief is that cereals cannot be eaten without
cooking. This opinion is the result of following precedent,—
of accepting "that which is as true." Cereals are best just
before they have ripened and hardened, when they are soft
and full of water. This condition can be partially brought
about again by soaking them in pure water or milk. The
common theory that the stomach is unable to digest uncooked
cereal starch is altogether wrong, as can be easily
demonstrated by any one who will thoroughly masticate the
uncooked cereal. Making the cook stove do what the stomach
ought to do is depriving this member of its rights and its
exercise,—depriving it of what nature intended it to do, and
the penalty is weakness, just as it would be with any other
unused part of the anatomy.

OAT GROATS.
Take quantity sufficient for two or three days, soak seven
or eight hours in lukewarm water, or until sufficiently
softened, drain thoroughly, and serve with thick cream. Salt a
little if desired. A dash of grated nuts may be added, which
will make a most palatable dish and add much to their value
and vitalizing properties.

WHOLE WHEAT.
Put quantity desired for use in a deep vessel, and cover
with warm water. Keep in a warm place. Allow to stand
twenty-four hours and longer if desired very soft. Drain
thoroughly. It will be found suffi ciently softened to be easily
masticated and eaten with nuts. This makes probably the most
nutritious dish of all the cereal family. A very little salt may
be added.

FLAKED OATS OR FLAKED WHEAT.
Put an amount sufficient for several days' supply into a
deep vessel. Add enough warm water to hardly cover. After
standing a few hours stir well, so as to thoroughly moisten the
top portion. This in a short tim e will be found ready for use.
A very little salt can be used. This can be served with cream,
strained honey, ground nuts, or any two of these or a
combination of all.

FLAKED WHEAT DRY.
Flaked wheat is a most delicious dish served dry and
eaten with either cream, olive oil or honey.

CHRISTIAN'S COMBINATION CEREAL.
This is a combination of several Cereals, especially
prepared and so proportioned as to level or balance all the
nutritive elements contained in grains. It can be used and prepared the same as flaked oats of
wheat.

UNFIRED BREAD.
Bread forms a very important part of the uncooked menu,
but its production is not practical in the home where this book
is intended to be of greatest use, as it requires special
machinery for flaking and grinding the different grains and
nuts of which it is made. It also requires a special electric
light oven for drying during the winter when the rays of the
sun cannot be utilized.
Note:—It has recently been shown by experiments made
in Washington that both the light and heat from the
incandescent electric lamp contain nearly all the properties of
sunlight and will delegate to  vegetation an abundance of
chlorophyl (green) the same as natural sunshine.
To meet conditions that exist we make an exception here
and give two recipes for bread that requires cooking, but is
unfermented.

UNLEAVENED GEMS.
Put three cups of whole wheat flour in a bowl or pan, two
cups full of ice cold water, a little salt, and a table-spoonful of
melted butter or cream. Beat a nd stir. Take up on a spoon and
work all the air possible into the batter | by vigorous beating
two or three minutes in the

Restoring Our Cellular Oxidation
Walter Last
It is now evident that oxidation problems underlie most of our modern diseases. As a result of diet-related and/or antibiotic induced
Candida overgrowth we develop inﬂammation and permeability of the intestinal wall. This condition is called “leaky gut syndrome”
and it allows fungal-type microbes and their toxins to penetrate the intestinal wall and invade the bloodstream. These fungal toxins
block key oxidative enzymes, thereby weakening the immune system as well as our oxidative energy production from food.
The liver may also be strongly affected, causing a deﬁciency of oxidative enzymes which may result in a weakened immune system,
a less efﬁcient fat metabolism, and causes problems producing haemoglobin, thyroid hormones, steroid hormones, connective tissue,
healthy hair or skin colour and countless other defects. This is because all of these rely on efﬁcient oxidation.
In time and with anti-fungal therapy this fungal invasion may be reversed, but the oxidative enzymes remain blocked by fungal toxins.
With each subsequent course of antibiotics more oxidative enzymes become blocked and health deteriorates further. The resulting
lack of vital energy then causes a wide range of diseases to emerge. This can only be reversed by unblocking affected enzymes with
suitable oxygen therapies as outlined below.
One of the main problems associated with modern diseases is energy deﬁciency. This is not only felt in weak muscles and as lack of
endurance, but can also appear in the brain as a mental problem or disease. Lack of energy in the brain is one of the ﬁrst symptoms
and may manifest as anxiety, compu lsive habits, learning difﬁculties, schizophrenia, depression, memory loss, Alzheimer ’s disease or
Parkinson’ s disease, while Chronic Fatigue Syndrome manifests mainly in the body, as does cancer and many other diseases. If,
where, and how this energy deﬁcienc y manifests in the body as a disease depends on inherited factors, mentality, emotions, nutrition,
living conditions, toxicity and other causes.
If our food is efﬁciently oxidised to carbon dioxide and water, then twenty times more energy is produced than when it is converted,
without oxygen, into lactic acid. Therefore, affected individuals tend to eat several times more food than those who oxidise their food.
The food surplus will be stored as overweight and give a boost to Candida. If overweight individuals eat much less to lose weight they
increasingly get lack of energy.
Energy production without oxygen is called "anaerobic", and that is how yeasts and cancer cells obtain their energy. This not only
causes energy deﬁciency in all areas of the body, but also overacidity from the overproduction of lactic acid, which then creates its
own set of problems. Furthermore, lack of efﬁcient oxidation is also the main cause of underweight, and a weakened immune system.
Weak oxidation will affect different organs and muscles to varying degre es; depending on the percentage of blocked mitochondria in
affected cells.
You may ask why we do not get all the oxygen we need from the oxygen in the air just by breathing. That is how it used to be in the
“good old days” before the introduction of synthetic antibiotics. The reason is that oxygen in the air is present as a rather stable
molecule, two oxygen atoms joined together. This has the advantage of causing much less oxidative damage to the body than by
introducing highly reactive oxygen ions, but the drawback is that the body needs to produce many different enzymes to split oxygen
molecules into ions for speciﬁc chemical oxygen reactions. Not only does this require a lot of energy, but it also makes the body
vulnerable to attack by Candida and other microbes which block key oxidative enzymes with their toxins. When this happens, it no
longer matters how much oxygen we get from the air because we just cannot use it for the key aspects of our metabolism, and
instead, we become oxygen deﬁcient, even if medical tests show 100% oxygen saturation of the blood.
In addition, with continued invasion by hyphal Candida, the invasive form of Candida induced by antibiotics, and with microbial
problems in the blood caused by “leaky gut syndrome”, there is also an increasing destruction of red blood cells and impaired
haemoglobin synthesis, greatly reducing the supply of molecular oxygen from the lungs. All of these health issues can be greatly
improved with biological oxygen therapies.
Oxygen Therapies
Holistic therapists have generally recognised the importance of oxidation in cancer therapy and for supporting the immune system by
using a variety of oxygen therapies such as hyperbaric oxygen, ozone, sodium chlorite/MMS/chlorine dioxide and hydrogen peroxide,
but all of these have some drawbacks. Mostly the problem is that these chemical oxidants are very strong, but they are not selective.
They oxidise anything that comes their way, thereby damaging sensitive and essential body structures, and depleting our antioxidant
defence system.

 Egoic Self

The mind is incessantly looking not only for food f or thought; it is looking for food
for its identity, its sense of self. This is how th e ego comes into existence and
continuously re-creates itself.

***

When you think or speak about yourself, when you sa y, “I,” what you usually refer
to is “me and my story.” This is the “I” of your li kes and dislikes, fears and desires,
the “I” that is never satisfied for long. It is a m ind-made sense of who you are,
conditioned by the past and seeking to find its ful fillment in the future.

Can you see that this “I” is fleeting, a temporary formation, like a wave pattern on
the surface of the water?

Who is it that sees this? Who is it that is aware o f the fleetingness of your physical
and psychological form? I am. This is the deeper “I ” that has nothing to do with
past and future.

***

What will be left of all the fearing and wanting as sociated with your problematic
life situation that every day takes up most of your  attention? A dash–one or two
inches long, between the date of birth and date of death on your gravestone.

To the egoic self, this is a depressing thought. To  you, it is liberating.

***

When each thought absorbs your attention completely, it means you identify with
the voice in your head. Thought then becomes invest ed with a sense of self. This is
the ego, the mind-made “me.” That mentally construc ted self feels incomplete and
precarious. That’s why fearing and wanting are its predominant emotions and
motivating forces.
 When you recognize that there is a voice in your he ad that pretends to be you and
never stops speaking, you are awakening out of your  unconscious identification
with the stream of thinking. When you notice that v oice, you realize that who you
are is not the voice–the thinker–but the one who is  aware of it.

Knowing yourself as the awareness behind the voice is freedom.

***

The egoic self is always engaged in seeking. It is seeking more of this or that to add
to itself, to make itself feel more complete. This explains the ego’s compulsive
preoccupation with future.

Whenever you become aware of yourself “living for t he next moment,” you have
already stepped out of that egoic mind pattern, and  the possibility of choosing to
give your full attention to this moment arises simu ltaneously.

By giving your full attention to this moment, an in telligence far greater than the
egoic mind enters your life.

***

When you live through the ego, you always reduce th e present moment to a means
to an end. You live for the future, and when you ac hieve your goals, they don’t
satisfy you, at least not for long.

When you give more attention to the doing than to t he future result that you want to
achieve through it, you break the old egoic conditi oning. Your doing then becomes
not only a great deal more effective, but infinitel y more fulfilling and joyful.

***

Almost every ego contains at least an element of wh at we might call “victim
identity.” Some people have such a strong victim im age of themselves that it
becomes the central core of their ego. Resentment a nd grievances form an essential
part of their sense of self.

Even if your grievances are completely “justified,”  you have constructed an
identity for yourself that is much like a prison wh ose bars are made of thought
forms. See what you are doing to yourself, or rathe r what your mind is doing to
you. Feel the emotional attachment you have to your  victim story and become aware of the compulsion to think or talk about it. Be there as the witnessing
presence of your inner state. You don’t have to do anything. With the awareness
comes transformation and freedom.

***

Complaining and reactivity are favorite mind patter ns through which the ego
strengthens itself. For many people, a large part o f their mental-emotional activity
consists of complaining and reacting against this o r that. By doing this, you make
others or a situation “wrong” and yourself “right.”  Through being “right,” you feel
superior, and through feeling superior, you strengt hen your sense of self. In reality,
of course, you are only strengthening the illusion of ego.

Can you observe those patterns within yourself and recognize the complaining
voice in your head for what it is?

***

The egoic sense of self needs conflict because its sense of a separate identity gets
strengthened in fighting against this or that, and in demonstrating that this is “me”
and that is not “me."

Not infrequently, tribes, nations, and religions de rive a strengthened sense of
collective identity from having enemies. Who would the “believer” be without the
“unbeliever?"

***

In your dealings with people, can you detect subtle  feelings of either superiority or
inferiority toward them? You are looking at the ego, which lives through
comparison.

Envy is a by-product of the ego, which feels dimini shed if something good happens
to someone else, or someone has more, knows more, o r can do more than you. The
ego’s identity depends on comparison and feeds on m ore. It will grasp at anything.
If all else fails, you can strengthen your fictitio us sense of self through seeing
yourself as more unfairly treated by life or more i ll than someone else. What are the
stories, the fictions from which you derive your se nse of self?

***
 Built into the very structure of the egoic self is a need to oppose, resist, and exclude
to maintain the sense of separateness on which its continued survival depends. So
there is “me” against the “other,” “us” against “th em."

The ego needs to be in conflict with something or s omeone. That explains why you
are looking for peace and joy and love but cannot t olerate them for very long. You
say you want happiness but are addicted to your unh appiness.

Your unhappiness ultimately arises not from the cir cumstances of your life but
from the conditioning of your mind.

***

Do you carry feelings of guilt about something you did–or failed to do–in the past?
This much is certain: you acted according to your l evel of consciousness or rather
unconsciousness at that time. If you had been more aware, more conscious, you
would have acted differently.

Guilt is another attempt by the ego to create an id entity, a sense of self. To the ego,
it doesn’t matter whether that self is positive or negative. What you did or failed to
do was a manifestation of unconsciousness–human unc onsciousness. The ego,
however, personalizes it and says, “I did that,” an d so you carry a mental image of
yourself as “bad."

Throughout history humans have inflicted countless violent, cruel, and hurtful acts
on each other, and continue to do so. Are they all to be condemned; are they all
guilty? Or are those acts simply expressions of unc onsciousness, an evolutionary
stage that we are now growing out of?

Jesus’ words, “Forgive them for they know not what they do,” also apply to
yourself.

***

If you set egoic goals for the purpose of freeing y ourself, enhancing yourself or
your sense of importance, even if you achieve them,  they will not satisfy you.

Set goals, but know that the arriving is not all th at important. When anything arises
out of presence, it means this moment is not a mean s to an end: the doing is
fulfilling in itself every moment. You are no longe r reducing the Now to a means to
an end, which is the egoic consciousness.
***

"No self, no problem,” said the Buddhist master whe n asked to explain the deeper
meaning of Buddhism.

Chapter 4
The Now

On the surface it seems that the present moment is only one of many, many
moments. Each day of your life appears to consist o f thousands of moments where
different things happen. Yet if you look more deepl y, is there not only one moment,
ever?  Is life ever not this moment? This one momen t, now, is the only thing you
can never escape from. The one constant factor in y our life. No matter what
happens. No matter how much your life changes. One thing is certain. Its always
now. Since there is no escape from the now, why not  welcome it, become friendly
with it.

***

When you make friends with the present moment, you feel at home no matter
where you are. When you don't feel at home in the n ow, no matter where you go,
you will carry unease with you.

***

The present moment is as it is, always. Can you let  it be?

***

The division of life into past, present and future is mind made, and, ultimately,
illusory.

The past and future are thought forms, mental abstr actions. The past can only be
remembered Now. What you remember is an event that


 thoughts poured in—healing thoughts. After
putting on the shoes I took off befor e the session, I noticed a weird
feeling in my body—a physical feeling—something had definitely
changed. I felt a sense of peace. I knew my suffering was over. I
physically was no longer uncomfortable. I felt excited and filled with
energy. I knew I was healing— I knew it.
Over the next few weeks, I continued to think about what you had
said about how the healing takes place in relaxation. So, whenever I
felt my senses speaking to me, convincing me that I still have a sever e
case of facial paralysis (like for example when I couldn’ t pronounce
some words properly when speaking to my mom right after thesession), I thought of the light blue sponge, and the feeling of your
hand on my face. Every time I think of that sponge I am brough t back
to that place of total relaxation, with the suffering and uncomfortable
feelings suddenl y lifted from my body. I hear the sound of the waves
overpower what my senses tell me, and all that is left in my mind is
that picture of me smiling. When I left Maui I had an overwhelming
feeling and image of healing. I am paralysis-f ree, I am paraly sis-fr ee,
I am paralysis-fr ee!
Nicollette
I was scheduled to give an evening lecture in Canada at the Jubilee
Auditorium in Calgary, Alberta, some ten weeks after my first and only
encounter with Nicollette. Lind a had called me to report that her daughter
was completely paralysis-free, and that this experience had completely
turned her entire life mission around.
I called Nicollet te, and she excitedly told me how great she felt to have
learned at the age of 20 that she had this amazing I am presence within her
and that she wanted to tell everyone she encountered about this profound
discovery. I invited her and her mom to come to Calgary and share her
experience with the several thousand people I would be speak ing to. And
indeed she did.
In only a few moments Nicollette transfixed the audience, giving real-
world, 3-D evidence of all that I was lecturing about that evening. As she
left the stage to a standing ovation, she handed me a card with two photos
imprinted on it. (See photo inser t.) In the photo of the three of us in Hawaii
(Nicollette, Lind a, and me), the left side of her face is paralyzed. In the
other photo, Nicollette is smiling  in a beautiful dress, paralysis-f ree—with a
distinct orb at her left shoulder! The caption on the card says: A Wish
Fulfilled, Love, Nicollette and Linda.
As you continue reading this book, which has been such a miraculous
journey for me, know that I take no credit for any of it. I’m reminded of the
1977 film Oh, God!  with Geor ge Burns as God saying something to the
effect that if you want a miracle, you should try to make a fish from scratch.
Only the I am presence is so equipped.
I give full credit to that presence and urge you to know that it is yours to
access as well. Do it—from scratch!Sending love,

CHANGING  YOUR CONCEPT OF  YOURSELF
“Health, wealth, beauty, and genius ar e not cr eated; they ar e only
manifested by the arrangement of your mind—that is, by your concept of
yourself, and your concept of yourself is all that you accept and consent to
as true.”1
—NEVILLE
There’ s a level of awareness available to you that you are probably
unfamiliar with. It extends upward and transcends the ordinary level of
consciousness that you’re most accustomed to. At this higher plane of
existence, which  you and every human being who has ever lived can access
at will, the fulfil lment of wishes is not only probable—it is guara nteed. This
chapter is simply a preparation for entering into that realm wherein you
have much more say over what comes into your life than you might have
envisioned.
After 18 months in relative seclusion, studying, meditating, and literally
experiencing what it’s like to live in this miraculous plane of existence
beyond anythin g that might be labeled “ordinary” or “normal,” I’ve
undertaken this joyous task of writing about having wishes fulfilled. I’ve
seen firsthand how virtually every wish or desire I’ve placed my attention
on has transformed from a mental thought into an objective fact.
However, I’m not proposing memorizing an esoteric formula leading to a
theoretical nirvana. My emphasi s throughout this book is that manifestation
is real and that it occu rs when you make a specific decision to change  your
mind about who you are and what is possible for you to achieve within
these parentheses in eternity called your life.
I’m inviting you to be receptive  to a radical new idea about yourself. It’s
radical because ever since you left your mother ’s womb, you’ve been
subjected to cultural conditioni ng designed to help you be content with
living a “normal life” at the level of ordinary consciousness, whichgenerally means  accepting whatever life hands you. In many ways you’ve
been programmed to believe that you do not possess the wisdom or ability
to manifest the fulfillment of your wishes and desires.
I am saying as clearly as I know how to say it in these opening pages:
There’s a plane of awar eness that you can opt to live at, wher ein you can, if
you are willing to change your concept of yourself as an ordinary being,
find yourself fulfilling any and all wishes that you have for yourself.
Throughout this book I’ll explore with you what I’ve studi ed, learned,
internalized, practiced, and, yes, lived  regarding the powers of
manifestation. It begins with changing your concept of yourself.
I would like to offer a few words on these two concepts of ordinary and
extraordinary.
Ordinary is, well, so ordinary. It means that you do all of the things that
your culture and your family have programmed you to do. It implies that
you fit in, study hard, follow the rules, take care of your obligations, fill out
the forms, pay your taxes, get a job, and do what every law-abiding citizen
does; and then you retire, play with your grandchildren, and ultimately die.
I want to emphasize that there is absolutely nothing wron g with this
scenario—it is perfectly fine—b ut if it were completely acceptable for you,
you wouldn’ t be reading this book.
Extraordinary encompasses most of ordinary, since we all live in the same
physical world. There will be forms to fill out, rules that demand our
obedience, bills to pay, and family obligations to attend to. But
extraordinary consciousness is associated with your soul, that invisible,
boundaryless energy that looks out from behind your eyeballs and has very
different interests than your ordinary self does.
The ideal of your soul, the thing  that it yearns for, is not more knowledge.
It is not interested in comparison, nor winning, nor light, nor ownership, nor
even happiness. The ideal of your soul is space, expansion, and immensity,
and the one thing it needs more than anything else is to be free to expand, to
reach out and to embrace the infinite. Why? Because your soul is infinity
itself. It has no restrictions or limitations—it resists being fenced in—and
when you attempt to contain it with rules and obligations, it is miserable.
Your invisible self is extraordinary because it is a fragme nt of the
universal soul, which is infinit e. The part of you that knows you have
greatness, and is stirred by the idea of you expanding and removing any andall limitations, is what I am addressing here in Wishes Fulfilled.  This is your
new self-concept, one that is inspired by your soul.
So let’s take a look at this idea and then examine what you need to do in
order to make your self-concept  congruent with how you want to live your
life, and the powerful role you can begin to assume as a co-fulfiller of all of
your rational/sensible wishes and desires.
What Is Y our Self-Concept?
Simply put, your concept of yourself is everything that you believe to be
true. And everything that you believe to be true about yourself has landed
you precisely where you live and breathe every day of your life. Your
beliefs about yourself are like the ingredients in a recipe that you use to
create your self-concept. Those ingredients or beliefs fall into two specific
categories: your outer self-concept  and your inner self-concept.
Your Outer Self-Concept
These ingredients include every thing you accept as truth concer ning what
the physical you is capable of. There’ s probably a certain amount of
intellectual acum en that you agree is necessary to your outer self-concept.
Smart, perhaps, but not really a genius—more capable in some areas than
others, such as technological knowledge. Maybe you add a measure of
writing ability, but detect more fluency with numbers and mathematical
problem solving than your ability to write prose. Your beliefs about your
outer self may be well seasoned and strong in some areas and almost
hopelessly incapacitated or weak in others. You very likely have a
conceptual framework of just how smart you are


 staph causes serious infections in hospital patients. It has been found that not only golden staph
but also other infections are greatly potentized when they occur combined with Candida overgrowth. As Candida overgrowth is a
natural outcome of the standard hospital treatment, it is easy to see why golden staph is so deadly in hospitals.
A similar picture emerges with AIDS. People do not die from the AIDS virus but from Candida or fungal-potentized bacterial and
mycoplasma infections. The end stage of AIDS is the same as the end stage of cancer. It is called cachexia, a wasting condition
mainly caused by fungal overgrowth. Lugol’ s iodine solution and other systemic fungicides should do wonders for it. Presently also
MMS, a 28% solution of sodium chlorite, is gaining acceptance as an ef fective antimicrobial remedy (see http://miraclemineral.org).
All of this shows that antibiotic-indu ced dysbiosis and Candida are not isolated and relatively harmless problems as the medical
profession prefers to believe, but rather the underlying cause of most of our modern diseases.
Cancer and Leukemia
One hundred years ago the rate of cancer was very low. I have no doub t that the phenomenal increase in the use of agricultural and
industrial chemicals as well as pharmaceutical drugs has greatly accelerated the increase in the rate of cancer, and there is also a
link to the consumption of sugar. Even stronger is the link to dysbiosis and Candida.
Chemotherapy commonly leads to systemic Candida infections, which greatly limit the success rate of the treatment. Long-term
follow-up studies show that children develop 18 times more secondary malignant tumors later in life, girls face a 75 times higher risk
of breast cancer by the time they are 40 (9), while the risk of developing  leukemia after chemotherapy for ovarian cancer increased
21-fold. Also other tumors commonly develop after treating malignancies with chemotherapy (10). A main problem appears to be the
development of deep or systemic Candida infections shortly after starting chemotherapy (1 1).
Only recently have oncologists started to acknowledge what patients called “chemo-brain”, a distressing loss of memory and other
cognitive functions. Psychiatrists have now found that the conventional treatment of cancer causes serious depression in 15 to 25
percent of patients. "The depression itself can often be worse than the disease" they say (12). Brain fog and depression are common
with systemic Candida.
All of this shows that chemotherap y tends to cause leukemia and cancer many years later mainly as a result of dysbiosis and
systemic Candida. The reason for the widespread use of chemotherapy despite its lack of effectiveness, severe side effects, and10/30/24, 7:22 AM Health-Science-Spirit - Are Most Diseases Caused by the Medical System?
https://health-science-spirit.com/Healing_the_Body/Are-most-diseases-caused-by-Medical-System.html 2/7long-term cancer promotion can be seen in the fact that private-practic e oncologists (in the US) typically derive two-thirds of their
income from selling chemotherapy to patients (13).
This chemotherapy connection make s it very likely that dysbiosis and systemic Candida can also cause cancer and leukemia when
they are caused as a result of antibiotic treatment. The rate of cancer really accelerated only after the use of antibiotics became
widespread.
There is also more direct evidence that Candida and other fungi are a cause of leukemia. Meinolf Karthaus, MD, reported several
children with leukemia going into remission upon receiving antifungal remedies for their ‘secondary’  fungal infections (14). In his
lifetime work Milton White, MD, was able to ﬁnd fungal spores in every sample of cancer tissue he studied (15).
Fungal infections have been diagnosed and treated as leukemia, and leukemia has disappeared on grain-free diets, presumably
because of the high content of mycotoxins in grains (16).
The Italian oncologist Dr. Tullio Simincini claims a success rate of up to 90% by treating cancer as a fungus. He infuses tumors with
sodium bicarbonate solution and recommends taking bicarbonate in water to get rid of gastro-intestinal tumors (17).
Recently I received a personal communication that a large stomach tumor had unexpectantly shrunk after swallowing some
mouthwash for a few weeks for a different problem. The main ingredient of this mouthwash was benzoic acid, a strong fungicide that
inhibits the metabolism of fungal cells. Cancer cells have the same fungal-type metabolism which thrives on high levels of glucose
and insulin, and they may therefore be regarded as a kind of fungal cells.
While the work of the German Dr Ryke Geerd Hamer (18) shows that emotional shock is a major trigger for the development of
cancer, a weak immune system as caused by intestinal dysbiosis, systemic Candidiasis, toxic chemicals, and root canal treatments
appears to be an essential co-facto r. After all, a century ago people must have had a similar number of emotional shocks as at
present, but cancer was very rare. Conversely, there are lots of people with dysbiosis and root canals that do not have cancer, but
add emotional shock, and voilà!
Root Canals
Root-canal ﬁlled teeth are a variation  of the theme of intestinal dysbiosis. They, too, appear to be a major contributing factor in many
health problems, not only cancer but also heart disease, arthritis, kidney disease and auto-immune diseases. This is due to microbes
that multiply in the multitude of tiny canals or tubules in the dentine and gradually leach out into the lymph system. Even normally
harmless microbes become very dangerous and more virulent and toxic under the anaerobic conditions in dead teeth.
Dr Weston Price (19), a former Director of Research for the American Dental Association, observed that the removal of root-ﬁlled
teeth from patients with kidney or heart disease would in most cases lead to an improvement. When he then inserted a removed root-
ﬁlled tooth under the skin of a rabbit  it would die within 2 days. When he implanted normal teeth there was no adverse health effect.
In some experiments he implanted the same fragments of root-ﬁlled teeth in succession under the skins of up to 100 rabbits and they
all died within 2 weeks of the same disease that the human donor had!
Dr Price conducted about 5,000 experiments over 25 years. He did not ﬁnd a reliable method to disinfect dead teeth and make them
safe. His research has been suppr essed, and if at all mentioned by our dental associations then they are described as “dated”
because this research was conducted and published over 70 years ago but it has never been repeated or otherwise investigated, or
root canals shown to be safe.
The main argument for their supposed safety is that millions of people have them and are still alive many years later. The question of
root canals causing widespread degenerative diseases is not discussed or researched. Price found that about 30% of individuals
have such a strong immune system that they do not develop problems from root canals until they become old but the remaining 70%
develop problems much sooner.
I regard root canals, even more so then intestinal dysbiosis, as a major cause of autoimmune diseases. In 1993 George E. Meinig,
DDS, a former US root canal specialist, re-published the dental resea rch of Dr Price in a popular version, and included his own
experiences (20).
Iatrogenic Heart Attacks
One hundred years ago heart attacks were almost unknown despite diets generally being high in saturated fats. The ascent of heart
attacks began with the pasteurization of milk and the use of chlorine to kill bacteria in public water supplies. This began around 1900
and was generally accepted in Western countries in the l920's. From 1920 onwards the explosive increase in the incidence of
cardiovascular disease and fatal heart attacks began, but only in countries that chlorinated their water supplies. These diseases
remained unknown, for instance, in Africa, China, Japan, and other parts of ASIA. However, when Japanese citizens immigrated to
Hawaii where water was chlorinated, they suffered the same rate of heart attacks as the Americans, and the black population in the
US have the average US rate of heart attacks but not their brothers in Africa. Inhabitants of the non-chlorinated Roseto in
Pennsylvania remained free of heart attacks unless they moved to a chlorinated area (21).
Some of the chlorine reacts with organic impurities in water to form organochlorins (DDT  is an Organo-chlorine) while the rest
remains as residual free chlorine in the water. It may then react either with food chemicals or with parts of our digestive tract. In 1967
a Dr J. Price in the US performed a decisive experiment. With one group of 50 three-month-old chickens (cockerels) he added one
third of a teaspoon of chlorine bleach to about one litre of water whilst another group of 50 chickens served as controls. Seven
months later over 95 per cent of the chlorinated group had advanced atherosclerosis, yet none of the control group showed any such
evidence.
In the following years Dr Price repeated his experiment many times, always with the same results, and more recently even
researchers funded by the US Environmental Protection Agency have conﬁrmed atherosclerotic type changes in other animals,10/30/24, 7:22 AM Health-Science-Spirit - Are Most Diseases


 know or have even glimpsed the reality to which the
word points? It really is no more than an obsessive attachment to a
signpost, a mental idol.
The reve rse also  applies: If, for  whatever reason, you disliked the word
honey, t hat might prevent you from e ver tasting it. If you had a strong
aversion to the word God, which is a negative form of attachment, youmay be denying not just the wo rd but also the reality to which it points.
Y ou would be cutting yourself of f from the possibility of experiencing
that reality. All this is, of cou rse, intrinsically connected wi th being
identified with your mind.
So, if a word doesn’ t work for you anymore, then drop it and replace it
with one that does work. If you don’ t like the word sin, the n call it
unconsciousness or insanity. That may get you closer to the truth, the
reality behind the word, than a  long-misused word like sin, and leaves
little room for guilt.

I do n’ t l ike those  wor ds either. T hey imply that ther e is somethin g wr ong
with me. I am being judged.

Of course there is something w rong with you — and you are not being
judged.
I don’ t mean to  of fend you personally, but do you not belong to the
human race that killed over on e hundred million members of its own
species in the twentieth century alone?

Y ou mean guilt by association?
It is not a questi on of guilt. But as long as you are run by the egoic mind,
you are part of the collective in sanity. Perhaps you haven’ t looked very
deeply i nto the human conditio n in its state of dominance by the egoic
mind. Open your eyes and see the fear, the despair, the greed, and the
violence that are all-pervasive. See the heinous cruelty and suf fering on
an unim aginable scale that humans have inflicted and continue to inflict
on e ach other as well as on other life forms on the planet. Y ou don’ t need
to cond emn. Just observe. That is sin. That is insanity. That is
unconsciousness. Above all, do n’ t for get to observe your own mind.
Seek out the root of the insanity there.FINDING YOUR INVISIBLE AND INDESTRUCTIBLE
 REALITY
Y ou said  that identification with  our physical form is part of the  illusion,
so how can the body, the phys ical form, bring you to a r ealization of
Being?

The body that you can see and touch cannot take you into Being. But that
visible and tangible body is only an outer shell, or rather a limited and
distorted perception of a deeper reality. In your natural state of
connectedness with Being, this deeper reality can be felt every moment
as the invisible inner body, the animating presence within you. So to
“inhabit the body” is to feel the  body from within, to feel the life inside
the body and thereby come to know that you are beyond the outer form.
But that is only  the beginning of an inward journey that will take you
ever mo re deeply into a realm of great stillness and peace, ye t also of
great power and vibrant life. At first, you may only get fleeting glimpses
of it, but through them you will begin to realize that you are not just a
meaningless fragment in an alien universe, briefly suspended between
birth and death, allowed a few short-lived pleasures followed by pain and
ultimate annihilation. Underneath your outer form, you are connected
with something so vast, so immeasurable and sacred, that it cannot be
conceived or spoken of — yet I  am speaking of it now. I am speaking of
it not to give yo u something to believe in but to show you how  you can
know it for yourself.
Y ou are cut of f from Being as long as your mind takes up all your
attention. When  this happens — and it happens continuously for most
people — you are not in yo ur body. The mind absorbs all your
consciousness and transforms it into mind stuf f. Y ou cannot stop
thinking. Compulsive thinking has become a collective disease. Y our
whole sense of who you are is then derived from mind activity. Y our
identity, as it is no longer rooted in Being, becomes a vulnerable and
ever -needy mental construct, which creates fear as the predominant
underlying emotion. The one thing that truly matters is then missingfrom your life: awareness of your deeper self — your invis ible and
indestructible reality.
T o become conscious of Being, you need to reclaim consciousness from
the mind. This is one of the most essential tasks on your spiritual
journey. It will free vast amounts of consciousness that previously had
been trapped in useless and compulsive thinking. A very ef fective way of
doing this is si mply to take t he focus of your attention aw ay from
thinking and direct it into the b ody, where Being can be felt in the first
instance as the i nvisible ener gy field that gives life to what you  perceive
as the physical body.
CONNECTING WITH THE INNER BODY
Please t ry it now. Y ou may find it helpful to close your eyes for this
practice. Later on, when “being in the body” has become natural and
easy, thi s will no longer be nece ssary. Direct your attention into the body.
Feel it from with in. Is it alive? Is there life in your hands, arms, legs, and
feet — in your abdomen, your chest? Can you feel the subtle ener gy field
that perv ades th e entire body a nd gives vibrant life to every or gan and
every ce ll? Can  you feel it simultaneously in all parts of the body as a
single field of ener gy? Keep focusing on the feeling of your inner body
for a few mom ents. Do not st art to think about it. Feel it. The more
attention you give it, the clearer and stronger this feeling will become. It
will feel  as if ev ery cell is becoming more alive, and if you have  a strong
visual sense, you may get an image of your body becoming l uminous.
Although such an image can help you temporarily, pay more attention to
the feeli ng than to any image th at may arise. An image, no matter how
beautiful or powerful, is already defined in form, so there is less scope
for penetrating more deeply.
The feel ing of your inner body is formless, limitless, and unfat homable.
Y ou can always go into it more deeply. If you cannot feel very  much at
this stag e, pay attention to what ever you can  f eel. Pe rhaps th ere is just a
slight tingling in your hands or feet. That’ s good enough for the moment.
Just focus on the feeling. Y our body is coming alive. Later, we willpractice some more. Please open your eyes now, but keep some attention
in the inner ener gy field of the body even as you look around t he room.
The inne r body lies at the thresh old between your form identity and your
essence identity, your true nature. Never lose touch with it.
TRANSFORMA TION THROUGH THE BODY
Why have most r eligions conde mned or denied the body? It seems that
spiritual seekers  have always r e gar ded the body as a hindrance  or even
as sinful.

Why have so few seekers become finders?
On t he l evel of the body, humans are very close to animals. All the basic
bodily functions — pleasur e, pain, breathing, eating, drinking,
defecating, sleeping, the drive to find a mate and procreate, and of course
birth and  death — we share with  the animals. A long time after their fall
from a state of grace and oneness into illusion, humans suddenly woke
up i n what seemed to be an an imal body — and they found this very
disturbing. “Don ’ t fool yourself. Y ou are no more than an animal.” This
seemed to be th e truth that was  staring them in the face. But it  was too
disturbing a truth to tolerate. Adam and Eve saw that they we re naked,
and they became afraid. Uncons cious denial of their animal nature set in
very quickly. The threat that they might be taken over by powerful
instinctual drives and revert back to complete unconsciousness was
indeed a very re al one. Shame a nd taboos appeared around certain parts
of the body and bodily functions, especially sexuality. The light of their
consciousness was not yet strong enough to make friends with their
animal n ature, to  allow it to be  and even enjoy that aspect of th emselves
— let alone to go deeply into it to find the divine hidden within it, the
reality w ithin the illusion. So they did what they had to do. They began
to d isassociate from their body.  They now saw themselves as having  a
body, rather than just being it.When religions arose, this disassociation became even more pronounced
as th e “you are not your body” b elief. Countless people in East and W est
throughout the ages have tried to find God, salvation, or enlightenment

Yogurt CheeseDAIR Y
Yogurt cheese is made by hangi ng nonfat yogurt in a muslin sack over a
sink or bowl or in a muslin-lined  strainer until it thickens to the consistency
of cream cheese, without the fat, in about 6 to 8 hours.
Cottage Cheese LoafYN DAIR Y
1 cup dry Essene or rye bread crumbs, 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar, 1-2
tsp dried  parsley, ½ tsp dill weed or tarragon, ½ tsp dry horseradish (1 tsp if
fresh), 2 cups mashed potatoes, 2
 cups dry curd cottage cheese, ½ cup
sweet red or green pepper, ½ cup celery diced, and 1 small onion diced.
Combine all ingredients except the last two.
Form into a loaf.
Place on garnished platter.
Top with decorative veggie slices.
Use watercress or endive for garnish plus slices of carrot, tomato, onion,
and green or red pepper for top.
Cottage CheeseYN DAIR Y
½ gallon unpasteurized, nonfat milk (which may not be available).
Makes approx. 9 oz (1 cup) cheese.
Warm milk to body temperature (98° to 100°F) by placing unopened
bottle of milk in sink of warm water.
Incubate in warm place (near pilot light or in oven with light on).
It is best to leave milk in origin al container to prevent airborne bacteria
or molds from contaminating culture.
The incubation period ranges from about 24 to 30 hours. (Culture longer
for a sharper -tasting cheese.)
Shake several times during this period.
When curd has formed, it will rise to the top.A harder curd can be formed by putting cheese (still in bottle) in sink of
warm water and gradually incre asing temperature to 110° for soft curd, and
to 120° for farmer -style cheese.
Be careful not to overheat or you will destroy precious enzymes and
beneficial bacteria.
Use a thermometer to be safe.
Pour cheese into a strainer or colander lined with muslin or several layers
of cheesecloth.
Gather the corners of the cloth and press out whey.
You may place a weight on top to speed the process.
For cream-style cottage cheese add approx. ¼ cup thick yogurt per cup of
finished cheese.
For herbed cottage cheese, season with any of the following: fresh
chives, crushed garlic, tarragon, parsley, dill weed, dill seed.
Let set for ½ hour before serving.
Variations: Add the juice of 1 or 2 lemons or
  cup yogurt to the fresh
milk instead of letting it clabber naturally. These additions result in dif ferent
flavors and textures. Experiment to find the one you like the best. Enjoy!
Cottage Cheese Sour Cr eamYN DAIR Y
½ cup yogurt, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 cup dry curd cottage cheese.
Blend ingredients in blender.
Add any or all of the following: pressed garlic, grated horseradis h, chives
or green onion, fresh mint, or dried dill weed.
Use to top baked potatoes or as dip for veggies.
BREADS
Bread can be used as a snack, after breakfast, or with a meal if the patient
has a good appetite.
Do not replace potatoes and vegetables with any of the breads.
SourdoughSourdough is sour fermented dough used as leaven. Don’ t be put off by
the name, because sourdough breads don’t taste sour. They have a tangy
flavor.
Sourdough is a white substance over which a colorless or gray liquor
called hooch collects. Hooch enables sourdough to complete its
fermentation.
You have to feed sourdough and keep it in the refrigerator because it is a
living thing that’s full of microor ganisms. Colonies of these
microor ganisms can live for many decades with proper care and feeding.
You can use a starter batch obtained from someone else to get your own
colonies going or buy a dehydrated starter or make it from scratch.
There are many different kinds of sourdough starters: white, yogurt,
whole wheat, sour rye, and so on. For patients on the Gerson Therapy, rye
sourdough is the recommended variety.
Sourdough Starter
1 tsp active dry yeast, 3 cups warm water (105°-1 15°F), and 3½ cups rye
flour.
Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large mixing bowl. Set aside for about
5 minutes.
Gradually add flour, stirring until smooth with a wooden spoon.
Cover with cheesecloth; leave on counter in warm, draft-free place.
In about 24 hours the mixture will start to ferment.
Cover tightly with plastic wrap and leave for another 2 to 3 days.
Stir starter 2 or 3 times a day.
Starter should be foamy at the end of this time. Put into a plastic
container, glass jar or crock with at least a 1-quart capacity.
Stir and cover but not with a tight-fitting top.
Feeding Sourdough
Put 1 cup sourdough in mixing bowl.
Add 2½ cups flour and 2 cups warm water. (This combination is known
as feeding.)
Mix thoroughly.Leave on counter for 8 hours or overnight.
Be sure to replace 1 cup sourdough in the jar in the refrigerator.
Try to feed sourdough once a week or every 10 days.
Feeding is necessary to keep the culture alive and may add tang to its
flavor. (Note: Sourdough can be frozen).
General Rules Pertaining to Sourdough
• Use glass, stoneware, or plastic bowls. Don’ t use metal. Wild yeast
produces acids that can corrode metal and thus kill the starter.
• Use a wooden spoon.
• Clean container about every week so that unwanted bacteria will not
grow and ruin your sourdough.
• Wipe up spilled sourdough immediately. It can stick like glue or
cement.
• Keep covered with a loose-fitting cover in refrigerator.
Wholegrain R ye Br ead
6 cups lukewarm  water, sourdough starter, and 3 lbs rye flour or a 70/30
ratio of rye flour to whole wheat flour.
Mix sourdough in water, add flour.
Leave covered and warm (180°F) for 12-24 hours.
Replace 1 cup sourdough to refrigerator as starter for next time.
Add: 2 cups lukewarm water, 2 1bs rinsed whole rye grain, and 2 lbs
rolled rye (use enough rye flour, maybe 2 lbs, to hold dough together).
Roll and cut dough to fit loaf pans.
Smooth the surface with a wet hand and leave dough in a warm  place to
rise for 2-5 hours.
The taste gets stronger the longer it is left to rise, and it will rise only a
little.

Toast leftover bread in the oven.
Run it through the food grinder.
Store in covered container in the refrigerator.
Sour R ye Br ead (Black Br ead Russian Style)
Note: Sour rye is a dif ferent sourdough culture.
You will need to make the sour rye sourdough starter from scratch and
keep it separate from your other starter.

 ially in
compounding medicines. He so impressed Shih Huang Ti
that the Emperor continu ed talking to him for three days
and nights, ﬁnally presenting the Sage with much gold and
jade, in which, as a true Taoist, he saw no value so threw it
away. He was said to live on a pill as large as a melon.
Ssu-ma Ch'ien records in his History  that Hsü Fu was
sent on an expedition (some say he went at his own
request, others that it was the Emperor's wish) to ﬁnd the
Isles of the Immortals and bring back the elixir of
immortality. Shih Huang Ti equipped the expedit ion with
the ‘ﬁve grains’ and Hsu set out with three thousand
youths and maidens, and artisans and workmen of all
kinds. The expedition never returned. Some belie ved that
they had found the Isles; another tradition said that Hsü
Fu discovered the islands of peace and plenty and settled
there and became king of the new realm; others suggest
that this was the discove ry of the Japanese Islands. Shih
Huang Ti always hoped that the expedition would return
and used to go to the coast, wandering up and down it,
gazing out to sea, searching the horizon for the returning
ships.
The Emperor Wu, of the Han dynasty, a great believer in
alchemy and astrology, also sent an expedition to the
island of P'eng-lai to bring back the elixir; but it too failed
to come back. During his reign various alchemists made
claims that they had discovered the secret of immortality
and transmuting metals, but, failing to produce  results,were executed. The Emperor ﬁnally came to the
conclusion that he had been led astray by the extravagant
claims of the magicians and decided that ‘if we are
temperate in our diet and use medicine, we make our
illnesses few. That is all we can attain to.’
While Shih Huang Ti and Wu Ti (the word Ti means
Emperor) and other alchemists took the existence of the
Isles literally, they were, from the esoteric aspect, an
allegory of the attainment of the state of enlightenment,
the inner world of spirit for which the adept worked; a
state of being rather than a ‘place;’ the mystical states in
which spiritual knowledge is achieved and it is realized
that there is no death.

THE ELIXIR
The Elixir, the Golden Pill or the Pill of Immortality was for
the East what the Philosophers' Stone was for western
alchemy; both are ill-deﬁned but were basically a
substance of which a small portion could transform a much
larger quant ity of base metals into gold, or could confer
immortality. Both had the property of transforming one
thing into another, both could cure diseases and restore
youth; the same phraseology is used to describe either.
Many a Taoist account tells of the restoration of
youthfulness, or grey hair turning black, and of a man of a
hundred years old looking as if he were in the prim e of his
life. In the West, Solomon Trismosin said that by taking a
grain of the stone his wrinkled skin became smooth and
white, his cheeks rosy, his grey hair black and his bowed
back erect. He also said he restored youthfulness to
ninety-year-old ladies and that the stone was a universal
panacea.
All sorts of extravagant claims were made for the
transmuting powers of the elixir and the stone. Ma Hsiang,
a hsien, always paid for his wine by turning all the iron
vessels in the wine shop into gold. Albertus Magnus was
reported to have brought to life a bronze statue made by
Thomas Aquinas, who made use of it as a servant;
unfortunately, it was somewhat talkative and noisy and
had to be kept in order with a hammer.
There is, however, a sharp division between the aims of
the exoteric ‘bellows blower’ or ‘charcoal burner’ and the
esoteric searcher for wisdom and enlightenment,  and theelixir itself was named in various categories as exoteric or
esoteric: the ‘inner elixir,’ the nei tan, of meditation and
spiritual practices developed the qualities of the soul and
was the esoteric aspect; the ‘outer elixir,’ the wei tan, of
taking medic ines, herbs and the pill of immortality was the
exoteric side intende d to bring about physical
regeneration. There were also the hsien tan of the
Immortals and the divine elixir, shen tan.
With the deliberately esoteric nature of alchemy it
followed that instructions and recipes were not made
available to the general public or the merely curious, so
most of the methods of concocting the elixir are not known
and even of those speciﬁcally mentioned many are not now
identiﬁable. Also, when the exact ingredients are given,
the proportions are withheld, so that, for example, when
the famous ‘eight preciou s things’ of the elixir are given as
cinnabar, realgar, sulphur, orpiment, saltpetre,  ore of
cobalt, salt and mica, no measures are included. In
addition to this diﬀiculty there were widely diﬀering local
and dynasti c weights and measures. Then, too, the
methods of concocting the elixir are couched in obscure
terms using names which are deliberately esoteric, if not
at times deliberately misleading, so that it is now
impossible to follow eithe r the ancient recipes or the exact
physical techniques. What Jung said about western
alchemy applies equally to the Chinese science: ‘It is quite
hopeless to try to establish any kind of order in the inﬁnite
chaos of substances and procedures. Seldom do we get
even an approximate idea of how the work was done, what
materials were used, and what results achiev ed. The
reader usua lly ﬁnds himself in the most impe netrable
darkness when it comes to names and substances; they
could mean almost anythi ng.’ In any case, as cannot be too
frequently stressed, they were not intended to mean
anything to the uninitiated and were only for transmissionfrom a master to a pupil with whom such dangerous
secrets could be trusted. ‘The vulgar and debased cannot
practise this art, neither such as have no understanding,’
as Ko Hung said in his Pao P'u Tzu.
Recipes for the elixir (tan)  are endless, literally in
hundreds. As Professor Needham says of Chinese  science
and alchemy, it is a matter of ‘ﬁnding the way successfully
through an incohate mass of ideas, and the facts so hard to
establish, relating to alchemy and metallurgy in ancient,
medieval and traditional China.’ Also, ‘there is a veritable
ocean, only a small part of which has been explor ed.’ It is
also a questi on of separating the grains of wheat from the
mass of chaﬀ of the ‘bellows blowers.’ Even if recipes are
speciﬁc, it is not always known what is meant by
substances with such fanciful names as Scarlet Snow, the
Flowing Pearl Elixir, the Empyrean-Roaming Elixir, the
Pale Moon Elixir, and so on; but all of them guarantee
immortality. Ko Hung says that such elixirs are not
intended to be generally known, so does not give methods
of preparation and the uninitiated would do well to leave it
at that. Ingredients for the Empyrean-Roaming Elixir are:
cinnabar, realgar, malachite, laminar, amorphous sulphur
and quicksilver. It is known that the Flowing Pearl is an
esoteric name for quicksilver. On the other hand, some
recipes were  clearly given and even the exact places from
which the ingredients were to be collected were speciﬁed;
‘all others are best rejected.’
The reputati on of the crane for longevity made it a
symbol of immortality; it was also a messenger between
gods and men, hence its eggs were an appropriate food for
those seekin g immortalit y and contact with supernatural
beings. The cock, as a yang  bird, supplied vital force in its
comb, which was used in recipes, while the hen provided
the yin balancing force in its eggs. The tortoise, which is
one of the four ‘spiritually endowed creatur es’ andextremely long-lived, symbolized both longev ity and
strength, so that a preparation made from tortoise shells
can confer one thousand years of life.
There are such recipes as taking a swan's egg, sealed
with lacquer, and steeped in a mica solution. After one
hundred days it will turn red: a gill of this will increase
your life by a hundred years, or a quart by a thousand.
Another prescription says: ‘Prepare three pound s of the
skin and fat from the back of a hog and one quart of strong
vinegar. Place �

FOR REFLECTION
O n  C h o o s i n g  F a i t h
F aith is power. It changes your life by changing you. It places you on a
dif ferent ground of being within yourself. It gives you a co nfidence
based on something that’ s in you but not of you, that can do for you what
you can ’ t do for yourself. It  keeps you from sinking into victim
consciousness—a stance that at tracts more victimization—and lifts you
to p ositivity, which attracts mor e positive outcomes. Where we put our
faith literally and directly influences what happens next.
I c an have faith in the power o f the world, or faith in the pow er of
miracles. I can have faith in the power of fear, or faith in the power of
love. I can have faith in the pow er of external things, or faith in the God
who lives within me.DA Y 216

T he word “communication” includes the word “commune.” If I
communicate without communing, I do not communicate at all.
I am  responsible for the hea rtspace between me and whom I
communicate w ith. If someone feels attacked or judged or bl amed by
me, they will not hear me. I might speak but I will not have been heard.
T oday I will find the innocence within myself and others, the place of
holy com munion, before I speak. Then not only what I say, but how I say
it, will be heard as a sharing and not an attack.
Dear God,
Please help me communicate
W ith love and not fear.
Let me assur e whomever I speak with
Of their essential goodness,
Even if they might have been wr ong.
For otherwise, I will be wr ong myself.

patterns of an i ntentional and creative universe. Love is my sanity. It
does no t lead me into unreaso nable or immoderate behavior. It is the
guidance system for a wise and peaceful life.
The thinking of the world would lead me to believe that the ways of
love are often w ays of weakness, while the ways of fear are often ways
of stren gth. Never has a more  insane perspective taken hold of the
human mind. I s hall not be lured  into the thinking of darkness, but rather
I will cleave to love today.
