 he or she misses less. The older the child is the more he or she has missed out and
the more he/she has got to catch up on. Apart from learning all the normal
things the teaching has to undo all the abnormal patterns and behaviours
the child has developed. Again, the older the child the more difficult it
becomes to break abnormal brain cell circuits and build normal ones. So
there is a definite sense of urgency for parents of newly diagnosed children
in starting appropriate education as soon as possible.
The question is - what education?
Let us start from autism, as these children are at the most severe end of
the GAP Syndrome.
Helping an autistic child
I would not attempt to describe here all the existing methods of educating
autistic children. There are many of them and you can find many sources
of information on this subject. Some methods aim to create an artificial
environment to suit the child's needs. Other methods try to change the
child in a way that he or she can fit in the normal world and lead as normal
a life as possible. At the end of the day it comes down to parents, their abil
ities and determination, to what method is chosen.
However, no matter what method is chosen, any educationalist with
experience in teaching autistic children would agree, that to be able to
achieve the most, an autistic child needs one-to-one teaching. This teach
ing has to be intensive and very structured. It cannot be just any teaching.
It has to be conducted by specially trained people. Every skill has to be
broken into the tiniest possible steps, manageable for an autistic mind and
taught step by step making sure that all the previous steps are solidly
learned and used by the child. A normal child would learn every minute he
or she is awake, so the teaching has to go on for as many hours a day as
possible, every day. And we must not forget the sense of urgency if your
child stands any chance of catching up with the same age typically devel
oping children. Those children are not standing still in their development,
so the goal post is constandy moving. There is not a moment to waste. I
personally know only one method, which can achieve all that.
This method is Behaviour Modification or Applied Behaviour Analysis
(ABA). Based on behaviour modification principals a very effective teach
ing programme for autistic children was developed by a Norwegian psy
chologist Dr O. Ivar Lovaas and his colleagues at the University of
California in Los Angeles (UCLA). Dr Lovaas started his groundbreaking work in the 1960s and the programme is still evolving. It is the only pro
gramme for autistic children in existence, which has got solid published sci
entific basis behind it. The initial study on the efficacy of this programme
was done by Lovaas and his team. It produced an astonishing result: 47% of
children completing this programme achieved normal intellectual and edu
cational functioning with normal range IQ scores and successful perfor
mance at mainstream schools. Another 42% were mildly retarded and went
to special classes for the language delayed, and only 10% were profoundly
retarded and assigned to classes for autistic children. In contrast, only 2% or
the control group children achieved normal educational and intellectual
functioning; 45% were mildly retarded with language delay and 53%
severely retarded and placed in special schools for autistic and retarded
children. The treatment group received forty hours a week of intensive one-
to-one behaviour modification teaching, the control group received ten
hours a week of one-to-one teaching. The children started the treatment
before the age of four and the programme lasted for at least two years. The
results of this study were published in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical
Psychology in 1987. Since then this study has been replicated in many other
universities, mainly in the US, with similar results. All these studies concen
trated on children under the age of five. Based on that for many years it was
a general understanding that ABA can only be done with small children.
However, in 2002 Dr Svein Eikeseth and his colleagues published results of
their study, which demonstrated that older autistic children, aged from four
to seven could make large gains with intensive behavioural treatment. In
parallel with that there are several articles published mainly in the Journal
of Applied Behaviour Analysis which show that the ABA programme works
not only for children but for adolescents and adults with autism, though
there are no formal studies published yet.
So, although developed initially for small children with autism the ABA
programme can be effective with all autistic individuals - children and
adults. However, one point still remains - the earlier you start this pro
gramme the better results you can expect.
As one of the parents, who was doing the ABA programme with her
autistic boy, put it: "It is amazing how powerful this method of teaching is!
With this programme you probably can teach a hippopotamus to speak
and behave properly!" Whether you can teach a hippopotamus or not I
don't know, but in combination with appropriate nutritional management
the ABA programme has shown an ability to achieve the best outcomes for
autistic children. An example: From "Entering the world of autism: a mother's story" by
Carolyn Lewis (you can read the full story in the book: "Treating Autism.
Parent Stories of Hope and Success", edited by Stephan M. Edelson and
Bernard Rimland, 2003.)
Apart from nutritional intervention Brian had the ABA programme run
ning at the same time.
"Brian's ABA program began August 1,2001. I'll never forget that weekend
because he cried and had tantrums for much of the three-day workshop. I
was drained by the end of the third day. The only thing that kept me from
breaking down was the hope that this program would pull our son out of
the world of autism. His first task was to sit quietly on a chair for approxi
mately five seconds. As he didn't want to do this, all of his crying and
tantrums were in protest. Actually, this was a lot to ask of him, but it was
the key to getting him into a teachable setting."
"Now Brian looks forward to each session of therapy, and he even hand-
leads the therapist to the therapy room."
"Fifty percent of his time in therapy is play, and he gets much reward
from success and the interaction with his therapists. Some have criticised
ABA because they believe it 'kills the spirit'. I believed in the beginning, and
still believe now, that without ABA we may never have known Brian's spirit.
Brian's daily schedule is full, and I am much more homebound than
before ABA started. We schedule six hours of therapy a day seven days a
week in our home. We plan two three-hour shifts of therapy each day. We
allow time for naps, meals, and playtime between sessions. It is not always
perfectly regimented, and I use the times when therapists can't make it to
spend time in new adventures with Brian and Rachael." (Rachael is Brian's
sister)
"Brian now (March 2003) behaves much like a typical three-year-old. His
eye contact and his facial expressions are normal. He plays with other chil
dren and toys appropriately. There are a few social quirks that need to be
worked out, but I believe the pre-school environment and playing with
typical children more often will address those issues."
"He has come so far in the short period of intervention that many of us
who see him and work with him cannot help but comment on how many
ways he has improved. Brian is a loving, affectionate, playful little boy who
prefers to interact with others instead of watching TV. Brian has acquired
many skills including pretend play, and he is a practical joker. He is speak
ing in sentences and will request what he wants with the appropriate
words. He points to and comments on things. He has mastered many programs in his ABA therapy. He likes animals and can make many animal
sounds, Brian especially loves trains, cars, and aeroplanes. He also enjoys
frequent trips to the pet store, and he plays with the neighbour's Boston
terrier. Brian is no longer a stranger in our house, and he gives love back to
us in so many ways. Brian is a miracle beyond belief to those of us who
knew where he used to be."
Helping children with other GAPS conditions
Behaviour modification is a corner-stone of helping hyperactive children
as well. Parents and teachers alike have to be trained in this valuable tech
nique in order to provide consistent and structured help to an ADHD/ADD
child. To learn in detail about how best to educate and handle a hyper
active child I would highly recommend two books by Sandra Rief The
ADD/ADHD Checklist and How to Reach and Teach ADD/ADHD Children.
Parent and teacher training, language therapy, work on social skills and
many other aspects have to be addressed in order to help a hyperactive
child.
As a result of abnormalities in processing sensory input GAPS children
often do not develop normal social skills. So, making friends and sustain
ing relationships becomes a problem. If these problems are not addressed
then through the years the child's self esteem suffers. Feeling rejected for
years may create withdrawal or


 health practice, I took on the hardest cancer and
degenerative disease cases I could find because I loved the challenge. patients would sometimes ask me during the initial consultation, “What
are you going to do for me that all the other doctors couldn’t do?”
I said to them, “Let me ask you a question... what did all the other
doctors do to cleanse or detoxify your body before giving you bottles of prescription medications (or bags of supplements)?” p ractically every
one of them would respond with confusion, “Cleanse? What is that?”
Well, I didn’t just tell them …
I Showed My Patients the Positive Effect Cleansing Could Have on
Their Health!
These men and women were amazed–after a few months of cleansing,
half their symptoms were already gone... and we hadn’t even started
addressing their condition yet! These results were just from the cleans -
ing regimens I advised! I then explained to them I don’t actually “heal” anyone. t rue healing takes place from within. It’s your responsibility to
heal yourself.
As a Doctor, It is My Responsibility and Moral Obligation to Teach
Y ou How  to Heal Y ourself!
Now, I tell people to start with the -Day o xygen Colon Cleanse fol -
lowed by three consecutive Liver/Gallbladder Cleanses, plus the h arm- C H A P T eR  1ful organism Cleanse and h eavy Metal Cleanse. I phase in their unique
supplement regimen only after the first colon and liver cleanses are com -
plete. a fter the initial cleansing of these organs, their bodies are ready to
begin the natural healing process.
people may have a shopping list of symptoms, but doctors are not find -
ing and certainly not treating the root causes of disease! Most symptoms
will disappear after a successful program of internal cleansing.
Y ou can give people the finest quality, wildcrafted, super-organic health
supplements in the world until you are blue in the face, but you are still
not addressing the core of their problem. t oxic overload results from a
lack of internal cleansing!
What people do not realize is they need to cleanse their intestines on a
regular basis as part of an ongoing health routine. It is generally accepted
that bowel movement frequency can range from 3 per day to 3 per week,
but some people have just 2 per week or fewer. Can you imagine the
fermentation, putrefaction, rancidity, and sheer amount of toxins leak -
ing into the bloodstream from a polluted colon that produces only two
bowel movements a week?
a healthy person should have three to four bowel movements daily.
Don’t think so? This principle can be demonstrated by the animal king -
dom. For every meal consumed, birds, fish, insects, and mammals have
corresponding bowel movements.even the e arth cleanses itself regularly with rain, snow melt-off, wind,
volcanic eruptions, lightning etc. h uman beings should be no different.
We should be having three to four normal bowel movements daily and
cleansing regularly.
A healthy bowel transit time should be 12 to 18 hours. The average
transit time in Western countries is at least twice that—38 hours
or more!3H e AlT H  B e g i n s  i n  T H e  C o l o nIt absolutely amazes me that we supposedly have the best medical
researchers in the world and no one has made the connection between
bowel transit time and the incidence of disease and digestive health in
particular! “ an assessment of colonic transit time enables the healthcare
provider to better understand the rate of stool movement through the
colon … ” since, obviously, disease or impairment within the digestive
system can lead to reduced efficiency.4 In other words, the slowing
down of transit time can indicate the onset of constipation or further
bowel disease.
Constipation and Other Digestive Disorders Affect 1 out of 5 People
in America!5
Most doctors respond to constipation by recommending a laxative,
which is essentially a drug. Laxative sales in the last four years alone exceeded $2. billion.
 one can easily conclude constipation (ironi -
cally, often drug-induced) is a very serious health concern in the United States. a s westernized society continues to spread, digestive disorders
are becoming prevalent in many other countries as well.
So what is the response to digestive disease by the pharmaceutical
companies? These companies depend on product longevity so they
develop and patent laxatives which cause even further bowel damage so
they can keep selling you their “treatment. ” If they actually cured any -
thing, these companies would go out of business because they wouldn’t
be needed anymore.
This obvious conflict between eliminating disease and continued profit
makes me wonder if that’s the reason why most pharmaceutical drugs
list “constipation” as a major side effect. Y ou take something to treat your
pain, high blood pressure, or arthritis and you end up needing laxatives
to treat the accompanying constipation. We have “lemon” laws to protect
consumers from deceptive auto salesmen but it’s apparently an accepted
practice for drug manufacturers to grow rich from your misery. These
companies sell you even more drugs instead of fixing what’s wrong by
addressing the root cause of your problem. C H A P T eR  1The key to renewed health is obviously to eliminate as many toxins as
you can from your environment on a daily basis (see p art II— How to
Live in a Green, Toxin Free Environment ) before they even reach your
intestines. Let’s face one of the main problems though—addiction!
How Many People Do Y ou Know Who Would Be Willing to
Give Up Their:
• Choice cuts of meat (steak, veal, brisket, pork)
• Convenient fast foods (pizza, burgers, tacos, fried chicken)
• Morning-motivating coffee (lattés, cappuccino, espresso)
• Delicious dairy (milk, butter, cheese, ice-cream)
• “Social lubricant” alcohol (beer, wine, mixed drinks)
• Soft drinks, energy drinks, diet drinks, and fruit flavored drinks
• Smile-giving sugar (chocolate, cake, pie, candy-bars)
• White flour (tortillas, “enriched” wheat and white bread,
       doughnuts)
•    and everything else that tastes good but is really bad for us
and what about all of the depression, anxiety, fear, negative belief pat -
terns, and learned behaviors that cause disease? From where do you
think these negative emotions originate?
Toxins leaking into our bodies from the intestines!  These chemicals
disrupt sensitive biochemical and hormonal balances by altering the elec -
trical signals in the water within blood and our living cells.
This disruption in the brain can cause depression, mood disorders, and other emotional disturbances. once people start cleansing internally,
emotional disorders often go away. Do you ever go about your day feel -
ing like you’re in a fog, like everything is slightly out of focus or you can’t
concentrate like you used to? This perpetual haze isn’t caused by just the 10
H e AlT H  B e g i n s  i n  T H e  C o l o nnatural aging process. Y our mental clarity can be affected by the toxic
substances you consume.

TO RAISE THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE PLANET
 AND TO ACHIEVE TRUE SPIRITUALITY,
OUR BODIES NEED TO BE PURE!
Think about the last time you felt really healthy. take a moment to re -
member how your mind and body and spirit felt. Y ou probably were self-
confident and eager to face the day because you looked and felt great. Y ou
actually loved yourself and desired to experience life in its rich variety.
Y ou enjoyed your connections with other people in your life, your com -
munity, and the larger world. Well, I assure you that if you take to heart
and practice the methods that I detail in this book, you can feel that way
again. When you cleanse your body regularly, and deal with bad health
habits generally, you can regain your self-confidence and sense of self and
renewed hope for the future. Y ou can believe again that you are capable
of achieving anything you put your mind to. This encourages success in
anything you manifest through your thoughts and actions. No more se -
crets. to be happy and healthy, you must be clean inside and out! So let’s
move on to Chapter 2 and start learning about the intestinal tract.

By Lisa Anne Leslie CCN

There are a lot of misconceptions about cholesterol and its role in health and disease. Below
is some information about cholesterol that ma y dispel any misinformation you may have.

Important Terms

Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL)
LDL carries cholesterol from your tissues into your blood stream.

High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)
HDL picks up and transports cholesterol in the blood back to the liver wher e it is eliminated
from your body. HDL can help keep LDL cholesterol from building up in the walls of your
arteries.

Triglycerides
Triglycerides are a form of fat carried through your  bloodstream. Most of your body's fat is in
the form of triglycerides, stored in  fat tissue. Lipoproteins that are rich in trig


tract.
With
age,
the
mass
of
the
thymus
decreases
by
up
to
90%
and
the
spleen
by
50%,
and
the
immune
functions
in
the
bone
marrow
and
lymph
nodes
are
also
extinguished,
because
substances
that
inhibit
the
activity
of
these
organs
accumulate
in
the
body.
In
other
words,
the
organism
is
clogged
with
waste
substances
and
pollutants.
Scientific
experiments
have
shown
that
if
we
transplant
old
immune
cells
into
a
young
organism,
their
activity
is
restored,
but
the
activity
of
young
cells
transferred
to
the
old
organism
is
extinguished.
This
is
direct
evidence
of
the
dependence
of
immunity
on
the
degree
of
contamination
of
our
body
with
waste
substances
and
poisons.
Therefore,
a
person
who
wants
to
protect
himself
from
infections
or
get
rid
of
infectious
ones,
viral
or
cancer
diseases,
in
addition
to
using
urine
to
strengthen
immunity,
they
must
cleanse
organism
at
the
cellular
level
by
fasting
while
drinking
urine
and
water.
Here
is
a
sentence
that
really
fascinates
me
and
helps
me
overcome
the
initial
days
of
starvation:
Fasting
for
the
present
the
use
of
urine
is
the
most
perfect
microsur gery
of
the
cell.
3)
Urine
of
mature
people
Especially
from
18
to
30
years
old,
it
is
balanced
in
terms
of
hormonal
composition
and
other
constants.
He
should
be
here
for
correcting
the
functions
of
your
body
used
by
a
person
aged
between
35
and
50-60
years.
When
treating
diseases,
however,
it
is
necessary
to
use
only
one's
own
urine
(see
treatment
with
nosodes).
If
you
have
decided
to
use
the
"
urine
donor"
to
stimulate
the
activity
of
your
organism,
then
choose
a
young,
healthy
person
of
the
same
sex
and
approximately
the
same
body
structure.
You
should
know
his
way
of
life,
habits,
diet
and
also
how
he
feels
about
you.
He
should
be
understanding
of
your
"strange"
requests.
Don't
be
shy
about
introducing
him
to
the
cause,
especially
since
you
will
be
using
his
urine
in
the
form
of
massages
and
compresses.
4)
Old
man's
urine
Because
during
this
period,
a
person
practically
mostly
lives
as
a
sexless
being
with
a
reduced
immunity,
an
out-of-tune
hormonal
system
and
other
dysfunctions,
it
is
the
least
suitable
urine,
which
can
only
be
used
for
self-treatment
of
various
diseases
and
disorders.
Other
people
can
use
it
only
in
hopeless
situations,
when
it
is
necessary,
for
example,
to
quickly
increase
the
excretion
of
urine.
5)
Male
and
female
urine
Naturally,
both
urines
have
their
own
peculiarities,
which
depend
mainly
on
the
hormonal
composition
and
also
on
the
"magnetization"
of
the
urine
by
the
male
or
female
essence.
Therefore,
it
is
recommended
to
use
the
urine
of
a
person
of
the
same
sex
as
a
donor.
In
exceptional
cases
and
only
for
a
short
time,
the
urine
of
a
person
of
the
opposite
sex
can
be
used.
Due
to
the
small
content
of
hormones
responsible
for
gender
differences,
children's
urine
can
be
used
by
persons
of
the
opposite
sex,
but
not
for
more
than
1
to
3
months.
The
younger
the
child,
the
longer
the
urine
can
be
used.
6)
Urine
of
pregnant
women
This
type
of
urine
is
very
special
and
useful.
The
composition
of
urine
and
its
properties
reflect
the
activity
of
the
mother's
organism,
the
functioning
of
the
uterus
as
the
organ
of
child
birth,
the
placenta
and
the
organism
of
the
fetus
itself.
Such
a
unique
set
of
substances
and
"encoded"
functions
it
does
not
exist
anywhere
in
nature.Therefore,
we
will
briefly
describe
the
peculiarities
of
the
urine
of
pregnant
women
and
the
changes
that
occur
in
their
system
of
urine
production
and
excretion.
During
pregnancy,
structural
and
functional
changes
occur
in
the
kidneys
and
urinary
tract.
Most
of
these
changes
are
observed
around
the
20th
to
35th
week
of
pregnancy.
For
example,
blood
plasma
flow
through
the
kidneys
increases
by
45%,
glomerular
filtration
even
by
60%.
As
a
result,
excretion
of
substances
of
a
metabolic
and
nutritional
nature
-
glucose,
amino
acids,
water -soluble
vitamins,
etc.
-
increases
in
the
urine.
The
most
abundant
amino
acids
such
as
glycocol,
histidine,
threonine,
serine
and
alanine
are
excreted
in
the
urine.
In
the
16th
week,
the
excretion
doubles
and
before
birth
it
reaches
up
to
five
times
higher
values
than
before
pregnancy.
Cortisol
is
also
secreted
in
abundance.
It
rises
three
to
four
times
excretion
of
some
water -soluble
vitamins
(folic
acid,
cyoncobalamin,
ascorbic
acid).
End
products
of
protein
metabolism
(urea)
and
nucleoprotein
metabolism
are
also
excreted
in
the
urine.
The
kidneys
produce
erythropoietin,
which
promotes
the
production
of
red
blood
cells.
In
pregnant
women
in
the
second
half
of
pregnancy,
this
enzyme
is
five
times
more
than
before.
In
other
words,
pregnant
women's
urine
is
the
most
nutritious
"cocktail"
(glucose,
amino
acids,
vitamins)
and
the
high
urea
content
makes
it
an
excellent
diuretic
and
anticancer
agent.
Blood-forming
factor
helps
with
all
types
of
anemia.
As
you
can
see,
this
is
a
real
universal
urine,
which
can
be
used
both
to
stimulate
the
body's
defenses
and
to
treat
a
considerable
number
of
diseases.
That's
why
at
every
opportunity
try
not
to
waste
this
incredibly
valuable
medicine.

THICKENING	OF	BLOOD	CAPILLARY	WALL
	Figure	8
:	The	beginning	stages	of	heart	disease

Once	the	capillary	walls	have	no	space	left	to	accommodate	excessive	protein,	the	basal
membranes	of	the	arteries	themselves	start	taking	up	protein.	The	beneficial	effect	of	this
action	is	that	the	blood	remains	thin	enough	to	avert	the	threat	of	a	heart	attack,	at	least	for
some	time.	Eventually,	though,	the	very	same	tactic	that	prevents	the	threat	of	sudden
death	also	damages	the	blood	vessel	walls.	(
Note:
	Only	the	more	primary	survival
mechanisms	of	the	body,	such	as	the	fight-or-flight	response,	the	common	cold,	or
diarrhea,	are	without	significant	side	effects.)	The	inner	lining	of	the	arterial	walls
becomes	rough	and	thick,	like	rust	in	a	water	pipe.	Cracks,	wounds,	and	lesions	appear	at
various	locations.

Smaller	blood	vessel	injuries	are	dealt	with	by
blood	platelets
.	These	tiny	blood
components	release	the	hormone
serotonin,
	which	helps	to	constrict	the	blood	vessels	and
reduce	bleeding.	However,	larger	wounds,	as	are	typically	found	in	diseased	coronary
arteries,	cannot	be	sealed	by	platelets	alone;	they	require	the	body’s	more	complex	process
of	blood	clotting.	If	a	blood	clot	breaks	loose,	it	can	enter	the	heart	and	result	in
myocardial	infarction,
	commonly	called	a	heart	attack.	A	clot	that	reaches	the	brain
results	in	a	stroke.	A	blood	clot	entering	the	opening	of	a	pulmonary	artery	that	delivers
used	blood	to	the	lungs	can	be	fatal.

To	prevent	this	danger	before	it	arises,	the	body	uses	an	entire	arsenal	of	first	aid
measures,	including	the	release	of	the	blood	chemical
lipoprotein	5
	(LP5)	and	cholesterol.
Owing	to	its	sticky	nature,	LP5	works	as	a	“Band-Aid”	to	create	a	firmer	seal	around	the
wounds	and	lesions	within	the	arteries.

As	a	secondary	but	equally	important	rescue	operation,	the	body	attaches	specific	typesof	cholesterol	to	the	injured	areas	of	an	artery	(more	on	this	in	the	section	“High
Cholesterol”).	This	acts	as	a	more	reliable	bandage	than	LP5	can	provide.	Since
cholesterol	deposits	still	are	not	protection	or	fortification	enough,	extra	connective	tissue
and	smooth	muscle	cells	begin	to	grow	inside	the	blood	vessel.

Called	atherosclerotic	plaques,	these	deposits	can	eventually	block	an	artery	completely,
thereby	severely	obstructing	the	flow	of	blood	to	the	heart.	In	response	to	this	grave
situation—unless	interfered	with	through	a	bypass	operation,	angioplasty,	or	the	insertion
of	a	stent—the	body	makes	its	own	bypasses	by	turning	existing	or	new	capillaries	into
small,	blood-supplying	arteries.	Although	this	option	is	better	than	surgery,	it	still	does	not
significantly	reduce	the	danger	of	a	heart	attack.

Contrary	to	common	assumption,	a	heart	attack	does	not	occur	as	a	result	of	blood
vessel	obstruction,	but	rather	because	of	blood	clots	and/or	soft	fragments	of
atherosclerotic	deposits	making	their	way	into	the	heart.	The	blood	clots	and	soft	pieces	of
cholesterol	implicated	in	triggering	heart	attacks	are	almost	never	released	from	the	rock-
hard	structures	of	the	more	occluded	sections	of	an	artery,	but	tend	to	be	released	from
newly	created	lesions	and	their	protective	cholesterol	patches.	For	this	reason,	stent	or
bypass	operations	have	neither	reduced	the	incidence	of	heart	attacks	nor	lowered	the
mortality	rate	from	these	attacks.

Although	the	gradual	destruction	of	blood	vessels,	known	as
atherosclerosis,
	initially
protects	a	person’s	life	against	a	heart	attack	caused	by	a	blood	clot,	it	is	eventually	also
responsible	for	causing	such	an	attack.	Most	forms	of	coronary	heart	disease	can	be
reversed	by	cleansing	the	liver	and	by	clearing	out	any	existing	protein	deposits	in	the
capillaries	and	arteries.	(See	Chapter	3.)
	High	Cholesterol

Cholesterol
	is	an	important	building	block	of	every	cell	in	the	body	and	is	essential	for	all
metabolic	processes.	It	is	particularly	important	in	the	production	of	nerve	tissue,	bile,	and
hormones.	On	average,	our	body	produces	about	half	a	gram	to	one	gram	of	cholesterol
per	day,	depending	on	how	much	of	it	the	body	needs	at	the	time.	The	adult	human	body	is
able	to	produce	400	times	more	cholesterol	per	day	than	what	it	would	obtain	from	eating
3.5	ounces	of	butter.	The	main	cholesterol	producers	are	the	liver	and	the	small	intestine,
in	that	order.	Normally,	they	are	able	to	release	cholesterol	directly	into	the	bloodstream,
where	it	is	instantly	tied	to	blood	proteins.	These	proteins,	which	are	called	lipoproteins,
are	in	charge	of	transporting	the	cholesterol	to	its	numerous	destinations.	Three	main	types
of	lipoproteins	are	in	charge	of	transporting	cholesterol:
low	density	lipoprotein
	(LDL),
very	low	density	lipoprotein
	(VLDL),	and
high	density	lipoprotein
	(HDL).

In	comparison	to	HDL,	which	researchers	privileged	with	the	name	“good”	cholesterol,
LDL	and	VLDL	are	both	relatively	large	cholesterol	molecules;	in	fact,	they	are	the	richest
in	cholesterol.	There	is	good	reason	for	their	large	size.	Unlike	their	smaller	cousin,	which
easily	passes	through	blood	vessel	walls,	the	LDL	and	VLDL	versions	of	cholesterol	are
meant	to	take	a	different	pathway;	they	leave	the	bloodstream	in	the	liver.

The	blood	vessels	supplying	the	liver	have	a	quite	different	structure	than	the	ones
supplying	other	parts	of	the	body.	They	are	known	as
sinusoids
.	Their	unique,	grid-like
structure	permits	the	liver	cells	to	receive	the	entire	blood	content,	including	the	larger
cholesterol	molecules.	The	liver	cells	rebuild	the	cholesterol	and	excrete	it,	along	with
bile,	into	the	intestines.	Once	the	cholesterol	enters	the	intestines,	it	combines	with	fats,	is
absorbed	by	the	lymph,	and	enters	the	blood,	in	that	order.	Gallstones	in	the	bile	ducts	of
the	liver	inhibit	bile	secretion	and	partially,	or	even	completely,	block	the	cholesterol’s
escape	route.	Owing	to	backup	pressure	on	the	liver	cells,	bile	production	drops.	Typically,
a	healthy	liver	produces	over	a	quart	of	bile	per	day.	When	the	major	bile	ducts	are
blocked,	barely	a	cup	of	bile,	or	even	less,	will	find	its	way	to	the	intestines.	This	prevents
much	of	the	VLDL	and	LDL	cholesterol	from	being	excreted	with	the	bile.

Gallstones	in	the	liver	bile	ducts	distort	the	structural	framework	of	the	liver	lobules,
which	damages	and	congests	the	sinusoids.	Deposits

schedule lasted only till the ginning was done. Mostly on the farm my
work was lighter, but there were da ys all through the year when we
would run the mill to saw lumber or grind corn.

CHAPTER 3.

IN WHICH I BREAK INTO SOCIETY
 As I soon learned, friendly people lived in the neighborhood
where I worked. Socially, they accepted the hired man as an equal.
Where everybody worked with their hands, a man was judged for
what he was, not by what he did for a living. There was a church close by and I got an invitation to Sunday School. Before I went, my
employer took me to town and I bought my first full suit of store
clothes. So I felt dressed up and important. At first, I was terribly
bashful; but as I got acquainted with the young people I mustered
enough courage to sing with them.
In all my 20-years, I had never once gone with a girl. But at
church a certain fine-looking miss, about 18-years old, with light
brown hair and sparkling brown eyes, plump, ruddy complexioned and
decked out in gingham, had caught my eye. I wondered why she
always came to Sunday School so far behind her family. One Sunday
afternoon, all dressed up in my new suit, I was idly carving the bark
on a giant pine that stood by the big road. All of a sudden that same
young miss, Ida Ogletree was her name, came along. I had not spoken
a single word to her. She stopped and asked me what I was carving.
"Oh, it's nothing," I answered diffidently.
My new suit made me strangely bold. The first thing I knew I
was asking Ida why she always came late to Sunday School. Then I
discovered that Ida knew all about my interest in her.
"On Sunday it is my turn to clean up, polish and straighten up
everything about the place," she explained. "I thought maybe you
would walk home with me sometime after Sunday School and I did
not want you to find everything all messed up."
Much to my surprise, I bantered:
"Well, let's go right now and see what kind of a housekeeper you
are."
After that pleasant visit I went with Ida regularly to whatever
young people's gatherings there were. I liked the community and was
enjoying life as I never had before. When I revisited Alabama in May,
1949, I learned from Dr. Ogletree, a fe llow dentist, that his sister, Ida,
a great grandmother now, was living in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. My work on the farm was not too hard but before long my old
discontent was urging me to move on to greener pastures. I had heard
my mother and uncle talk a lot about Judge T. A. Street, who ran a
large farm on the banks of the Tennessee River in Marshall county.
Judge Street was mother's second co usin. Before the War between the
States, he had owned slaves and run a large cotton plantation. So I
made up my mind to visit Judge Street at Beard's Bluff.
In August crops were laid by and farm work was light. One day I
caught a ride with a neighbor who was driving his wagon to
Guntersville. From there it was only three miles to Judge Street's
house. It was past dinner time when I arrived, hot, tired and hungry, at
the Street house on Beard's Bluff. The family had never heard of me
but they knew my mother's brother, their kin. They received me kindly and scared up some lunch for me. I stayed all night and the next
morning rode to town with Judge Street in his buckboard. During that
ride he and I made a trade. I was to return at New Year's, January 1,
1888, and run his farm. In Guntersv ille I caught a ride back to Andy
Cash's house with another neighbor. So that night I was back on the
old job, jubilant over the prospect of a new start in life for the year to come.

CHAPTER 4.

I ACQUIRE A HUNGER FOR
KNOWLEDGE

On the last day of December, 1887, I arrived at the Street home
to begin my job with the new year. Since leaving Judge Street in August I had not once thought of writing to him. Until then I had received little schooling and no social training. But I found my job
waiting for me.
That was the first responsible position I had ever held. I was to
take care of the livestock, keep fires going in the big house, cultivate a
one acre garden and grow a corn crop on the bottom land along the
river. In later years I was to realize that was the luckiest break of my
life. The Streets were counted am ong Alabama's finest families and
they took me in as one of them.
The Street home stood on Bear d's Bluff overlooking Tennessee
River. The farm, where before the war, slaves had cultivated cotton, lay spread out in the valley below. Strung along the bluff were numerous slave cabins. Some of Judge Street's former slaves lived
there. Aunt Dinah, the cook, had been a slave in her young days.
When I went there share croppers ha d taken over most of the cabins,
but I lived with the family. My two year stay with the Streets was the
best education I ever received. At the outset I became aware of my lack of booklearning. Everyone in the household was a booklover and
read after supper. There was nothing for me to do till bedtime but read
also. Kindly Judge Street helped me to get started. -.
"How far did you go in school, George?" he asked me. "Through
the blueback speller and McGuffey's 5th Reader." "Well, then, maybe
you would like this book."
Judge Street reached into the well-filled bookcase and pulled out
"The Life of David Crockett." Soon I was lost in the book. Its pages
recreated my own boyhood. You ng Crockett had a bringing-up
strikingly like my own. Then I realized for the first time how much
alive a book could be.
After that, I devoured "Daniel Boon e," a history of the late war,
lives of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, two or three of Amelia
Barr's novels and ever so many more whose authors and titles have
slipped my mind. At the outset my job consisted mainly of getting wood chopped
to keep several big fireplaces supplied, and to see that the numerous
horses, mules, work oxen, beef steers, yearlings, milk cows, sheep and
hogs on the place were fed regularly. Like all the farm people in that
country, the Streets ran their hogs in the Tennessee river hollows and
swamp to fatten them on the mast, as the abundant crop of acorns,
hickory nuts, beechnuts were called. Just to keep the hogs tame, I
would ride into the woods once a week to feed them a sack of corn. At
first I'd call "Co-pee, pig-ope," and that would bring all the hogs
within hearing. To avoid having to feed the neighbors' swine, I used a
trick which my father had taught me. He would yodle to his hounds to
call them from a fox chase and put them on a hotter trail without
calling the other hounds. As I dished out corn to the Street hogs, that I
could tell by the crops in their ears, I made up a call of my own and yodeled it—a long, low chant that would rise to high C, then drop to a
deep bass, with weird, wavering notes strung between. Pretty soon,
when I'd go back to that spot and start my call, I'd hear a chorus of
grunts and a roar over by the river and a bunch of hogs would come
running. Over the hill to the right a big boar would let out a snort and bring in his troop. None but the Street hogs would answer my call—I had taught them the yodle when no other hogs were near.
At corn-planting time in April and May, T. A. Street, Jr.,
(Atkins), then 16-years old, was home from school. Though five years
younger than me, Atkins proved to be one of the best teachers I ever
had. Until he was quite a big boy, Atkins himself had no teacher but his mother; but, in that day, Julia Ann Street, one of State's Pioneer College Women, was counted among Alabama's most efficient
teachers. When one of her sons, E. C., the youngest now in Waco,
applied for admission to the University of Alabama, the examiner had
said to him:
"I do not know anything about Scotsboro Academy where you
attended, but anybody who has passed Julia Ann Street's tutoring can
enter this university." Two older brothers had graduated at the
Politecnic.
Years later one of his old school mates told me about Atkins' first
day at the boarding school in town. Atkins did not know how to act and was laughed at for his awkwardness until he walked up to the blackboard and demonstrated a theorem


versibility. Whe n this stage is reached there is no longer any hope of recovery of health.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "CURE" AND HEALING?
The reader, versed only in the popular and classic ideas about health, disease and healing, will, perhaps, ask: what is the
difference betwee n being cured and recovering health? A cure is the application of something exotic (a drug or a treatment)
which, by virtue of its own power restores the sick man or woman to health. There is no such thing.
Recovery is the restoration of health by means of  the operation of forces intrinsic to the organism. This is the only force known
that is capable of restoring health. Healing is a biological process, not an art.

COMMON COLD
Let us take the common cold. It is estimated that the 190 million people in the United States have an average of four colds each
during the year. Some of these people have fewer than four colds, some have more than four. Now, it is acknowledged that
there is no known cure for the cold. There is no drug, no serum, no vaccine, no form of treatment that will cure a cold. People
treat themselves with all kinds of alleged remedies, but these do not cure the cold. Almost everybody one meets has one or
more cold cures, but none of them are genuine.
Yet, it is a matter of common observation that everybody who has a cold recovers; sometimes in a very few days, in some
instances in three to four weeks. Not so many months ago a prominent physician said that if one who has a cold is treated, he
gets well in two weeks, and if he is not treated, he  gets well in fourteen days. The important fact about these recoveries is that
these sufferers get well, but they are not cured for no cure is known. Recovery is said to be spontaneous. It is the result o f
lawful and orderly processes that take place in th e body of the sick person.

SPONTANEOUS RECOVERY IN ACUTE DISEASE
Diseases that get well in this manner are said to be self -limited. This simply means that they are brought to an end in a more or
less definite time by the organism itself and not by treatme nt. They are all spontaneous recoveries. These spontaneous
recoveries are the things on which all the alleged cures ride to glory. It will not escape the attention of the reader that t he self -
limited diseases are all acute; that the chronic diseases tend to run on for years and to grow progressively worse and that for
these, there are no cures. Almost anything seems to cure the self -limited diseases, nothing seems to work when the disease is
not self -limited.

NOT SICKNESSES, BUT SICK PERSONS RECOVER

If we understand that it is the sick person that recovers and not the disease, we will understand that there is a vast difference
between treating disease (the popular delusional practice) and caring for a sick person. In the first case, the efforts are d irected
at controlling, suppressing, palliating and destroying symptoms and local pathologies; in the second instance, t he efforts are
directed at removing the causes that have impaired the body and at trying to supply the body with its physiological needs. Th ere
is no effort made to cure the disease, as it is well understood that healing is a biological process and that no  man can either
duplicate or imitate the process. There is no treatment of disease for the reason that there is no disease, per se, to treat.

THE SICK ORGANISM ACTS
Apart from the living organism, disease has no existence. Fever, inflammation, pain, discomfort, vertigo, nausea, vomiting,
griping, purging, coughing, sneezing, etc., etc., that are considered symptoms of disease, are all actions of the sick organi sm.
They are vital phenomena and do not require treatment.
To suppress diarrhea is to cause the retention in the bowels of the very objectionable materials the diarrhea is designed to
expel; to suppress a cough leaves the obstructing and irritating materials in the respiratory passages. This is not intellige nt
treatment.

TRUE RECOVERY IN TWO+ YE ARS
If we understand the nature of the phenomena with which we are dealing and its causes and if we realize that time is required
for the causes that are operating to impair the organism in which to evolve their effects, we can both understand the urgent
need to remove the causes of the suffering of the sick man and the need for time for him to evolve into a state of health. The
average chronic sufferer cannot expect to evolve into full health in less than two years and many will require more time than
this. A few will require less time.
Knowing this, we can, with patience and determination, launch ourselves into a way of life out of which good health evolves -
and stick to it until we have achieved the desired results - and then stick to it to the end, that  we may maintain our gains.

Dr. Robert R. Gross:
BIRTH DEFECTS CAN  BE AVOIDED!
An Urgent Message to Prospective Parents

Life's grisliest disasters and maladjustments take place years before conception and then following, in the
womb " "As mother, so is the child. Most congenital deformities can be prevented, and monstrosities that
have appalled and frightened mankind since antiquity should become avoidable."

INTRODUCTION
Hygienic doctor Robert R. Gross did have a hygienic fasting retreat (The Pauling Health Manor) in the New York area for 25
plus years - together  with his wife, cookbook author Joy Gross.

 Each of us is the sum of what he was born with and everything that has happened to him up to this
moment. He is the product of his inheritance, intra - and extra -uterine environment, cultural background, the
personality of his parents, school and religious influences, and the customs and habits of the society in
which he lives.
Most of what has made us what we are was beyond our control. We realize this, not to weep over it, but
also not to let it pursue us throughout our life. We cannot rewrite the past but we can modify the present.
We can reshape the future by supporting the will to live in times of stress with Natural Hygiene knowledge.
Thus, we may overcome the inevitable crises in life with the least da mage and with the most momentum for
proceeding on our route in making our lives as rich and happy as they can be made.

INHERITANCE OR PREVENTABLE ACCIDENTS?
To a very limited extent inheritance is responsible for some deformities, susceptibilities that le ad to imperfect development, and
abnormal functions of the body. These deviations would be due to grossly microscopic entitles called "genes," located in the
chromosomes which, in turn, are found within the nuclei of the reproductive cells (ova and spermat ozoa). This inheritance or

hereditary factor is tremendously overplayed in importance and incorrectly blamed for the tragedies encountered in births and
infant life.
Natural Hygiene has always - and within the past few years, the epidemiologist of the medical profession also - realized that
most congenital (resulting from one's heredity) deformities are not foreordained by heredity but are preventable accidents of
development in the womb. It is very possible to circumvent most congenital deformities by improving the preparation for
pregnancy and by careful attention to stresses and Natural Hygiene habits during this period.

START OF LIFE
The life of an individual begin s not on the day he is born but even long before he is conceived. Life's grisliest disasters and
maladjustments take place, as often as not, years before conception and, then following, in the womb. Here, as an embryo (the
developmental stage until three months) and fetus (the developmental stage from three months to birth) he is subject to the
action of the elements and malice of the mother's non -hygienic living habits. These catastrophies go unnoticed at the time; they
may be signaled only by a rash, occ asional headache, and vomiting, irrascible temperament or nervousness.
For often there isn't any sign of the tragedy until the baby is born with a single eye (cyclopia) or a dwarfed body, a cleft palate,


5,	I	lived	a	different	life	from	the
life	I	live	today.	I	thought	I	was	healthy	and	that	I	was	living	a	healthful
lifestyle;	in	reality	I	was	encouraging	sickness.	I	suffered	from	a	number	of
diseases—	allergies,	colds,	flu,	tooth	decay,	joint	pain,	abdominal	pain	and
fatigue.	I	went	to	physicians	and	dentists.	I	took	antibiotics	for	infections,
NSAIDs	for	pain	and	antihistamines	for	my	allergies.	I	occasionally	took
vitamins,	but	I	did	so	whimsically,	without	commitment	and	consistency,	and
certainly	without	a	scientific	understanding	of	which	vitamins	I	should	be	taking
and	why.	I	ate	most	of	my	meals	in	upscale	restaurants	and	spared	no	expense.
My	food	choices,	however,	were	based	mostly	on	taste	and	enjoyment.	I	neither
knew	much	nor	thought	much	about	nutrition.When	I	did	develop	digestive	problems	and	allergies,	I	was	unaware	that	my
food	was	causing	the	problems	or	that	it	would	be	possible	to	avoid	them	if	I
paid	closer	attention	to	what	I	ate.	I	am	now	aware	of	my	allergy	to	dairy,	but
back	then	I	ate	ice	cream,	milk	and	other	dairy	products	almost	daily.	I
developed	itchy	eyes,	mucus	and	sneezing	fits	after	I	ate	them,	but	still	I	did	not
recognize	the	connection.	I	had	grown	accustomed	to	these	“minor	nuisances”
and	never	imagined	life	could	be	so	much	better	without	them.
I	used	to	eat	far	too	much	meat	and	dairy—at	one	or	two	meals	every	day—
unaware	that	most	of	the	pesticides	we	are	exposed	to	have	bioaccumulated	in
the	animal	products	we	consume.	Although	I	don’t	recommend	a	meat-free	diet,
I	recommend	eating	meat	only	a	few	times	a	week	and	only	that	which	has	been
organically	produced.	The	animal	products	I	consumed	back	then	contributed	to
my	toxic	load,	as	did	the	volumes	of	sugar,	white	flour	and	processed	oils	that
were	a	regular	part	of	my	diet.	In	addition,	both	as	a	graduate	research	assistant
at	MIT	and	in	my	first	job	as	a	chemist,	I	was	exposed	to	extraordinary	amounts
of	toxic	chemicals.	Chemicals	that	are	used	today	only	in	small	amounts	and
with	protective	equipment	we	used	to	slosh	around	in	the	lab	as	if	they	were
water.	Back	then,	we	were	unaware	of	the	full	extent	of	their	toxicity,	and	the
manufacturers	were	in	no	rush	to	study	the	toxicities.
My	discoveries	about	health	and	disease	saved	my	life	and	changed	my	life—
forever.
I	learned	to	recognize	which	foods	harmed	my	health.	I	learned	to	listen	to	my
body’s	own	warning	signs.	I	learned	how	to	avoid	getting	sick	and	how	to
accelerate	recovery.	I	learned	how	to	get	well	and	stay	well.
Since	my	recovery	in	1987,	I	have	rarely	been	sick.	At	age	sixty-five,	I	have
more	energy,	vitality	and	health	than	I	did	twenty	years	ago.	I	have	taken	no
medications—neither	a	prescription	drug	nor	an	over-the-counter	product—in
the	past	seventeen	years.	Neither	have	I	required	the	services	of	a	physician	in
that	time.	I	am	no	longer	debilitated	by	my	allergies.	If	I	do	get	sick,	I	know
what	I	can	do	to	improve	my	situation.	On	the	rare	occasion	that	I	do	come	down
with	a	cold,	I	take	plenty	of	high-quality	vitamin	C,	and	the	cold	vanishes	in	a
matter	of
hours
rather	than	after	days	or	weeks	of	misery.
The	lightning	bolt	that	sparked	these	massive	changes	in	my	life	and	which
guides	my	life	today	was	a	radical	change	in	my	perspective.	I	now	see	health	as
a	choice,	entirely	within	my	control.	I	optimize	my	choices	along	all	six
pathways	and	I	avoid	disease.	I	shun	“modern	medicine,”	prescription	drugs	and
other	traditional	treatments	because	I	recognize	that	they	treat	the	symptoms	and
not	the	causes	of	disease.	Further	-more,	modern	medical	treatments	do	harm.Because	I	am	able	to	keep	my	health	in	balance,	I	do	not	need	drugs,	medical
treatments	or	doctors.	I	eat	a	wide	variety	of	fresh	organic	foods,	either	from
farmers’	markets	or	health	food	stores.	My	favorites	include	apples,	raw	nuts	and
fresh	vegetables	used	to	make	salads.	I	eat	animal	protein	a	few	times	per	week,
usually	deep-water	ocean	fish	(not	farmed),	organically	produced	poultry
(without	antibiotics	and	hormones)	and	organic	eggs.	I	drink	bottled	water
delivered	in	glass	bottles.	I	supplement	my	diet	with	essential	fatty	acids	and	I
avoid	hydrogenated	oils.	On	rare	occasions	I	do	have	desserts,	but	even	then	I
avoid	common	allergens	like	dairy.	I	definitely	do	not	succumb	to	the	daily
after-dinner	“sweet	tooth.”	Refined	sugar	has	been	almost	completely	cut	out	of
my	life	because	it	is	so	very	dangerous.	I	avoid	all	corn	and	corn	products
because	corn	is	now	genetically	contaminated	as	well	as	often	being	moldy.	I
minimize	white	potatoes	and	have	completely	eliminated	french	fries	because
they	are	one	of	the	most	toxic	foods	we	eat.	I	take	a	variety	of	high-quality
supplements,	including	amino	acids	(prior	to	meals),	multivitamins,	extra
calcium/magnesium,	vitamin	E,	quercitin	and	coenzyme	Q10.	I	also	take
digestive	enzymes	with	my	meals.
In	my	home	I	have	natural-fiber	carpets,	I	have	a	filter	on	my	shower	to
remove	the	chlorine,	and	I	replaced	my	gas-fired	water	heater	with	an	electric
unit.	On	my	body	I	use	only	toothpaste,	shampoo	and	soap	that	do	not	have
synthetic	foaming	agents,	stabilizers,	preservatives,	colors	or	fragrances.	For
exercise	I	do	daily	rebounding,	walking	or	hiking.	During	weekly	visits	to	the
gym,	I	do	gentle	weightlifting,	treadmill,	bicycling,	and	absolutely	a	sauna
afterward	to	detoxify.	I	keep	my	spirits	up	by	having	purpose	in	my	life,	being
excited	about	what	I	am	doing	and	having	people	in	my	life	that	I	care	about.	I
teach	as	many	as	I	can	how	to	be	healthy.	All	of	the	factors	bring	a	sense	of
purpose	and	encouragement.	I	live	in	the	present	and	in	the	future,	and	I	do	not
dwell	on	the	past.	If	I	had	only	one	day	left	to	live,	I	would	want	to	be	excited
about	living	that	day.
Getting	Sick	Is	Harder	Than	Staying	Well
You	may	wonder	if	you	have	the	ability,	the	energy	and	the	resolve	to	make
these	kinds	of	life	changes	yourself.	You	do.	But	change	is	difficult,	especially

reabsorbed into the bloodstream. This can be seen in the scans that were
recorded of a full bladder and if you don't pee it out and the body needs it again
later the body can reabsorb it from the bladder back into the blood stream. Most
people have had the experience that they need to pee, but got distracted by
something and later realised they don't need it anymore. That's because the
body did its own looping without you even realising. It can be better to pee into a
container and drink it again, because it cleans you right the way through. Just like a river that is fast moving has cleaner water than a slow moving stagnant
river where all the dirt builds up.
The David Blaine diet.
David Blaine went for 44 days on nothing but his own orin whilst living in a glass
box hoisted above tower bridge in London. I remember it well, we went to see
him go in and every few days we'd take some time off work to go sit for hours
watching him seeing if we could work out how he is doing it. Then we went to see
him come out 44 days later. With friends we went to see him often during those
44 days. Many people were discussing how on earth he was doing it, how is he
still alive? We are told you will die after three days with no water.
Did he have a secret tube coming into the box that he could somehow drink
from? No I'm certain he did not. I studied him for hours at a time, there was no
secret tube. Many people still think he didn't actually drink his own orin for 44
days and that it was somehow a trick or an illusion. Many people we talked to
were trying to work out how he did it, they said it's impossible to go that long
without water.  However as well as being a remarkable illusionist, David Blaine is
also able to demonstrate the most amazing examples of what the human body is
capable of. He will push himself over and over again simply to test human
endurance.
As well as living on nothing but urine for 44 days in full view of everybody in a
glass box, he has also before this buried himself alive for 7 days in a coffin. This
was the first time he looped his own urine for a week but of course nobody could
see him during those seven days.
When he was in the glass box for 44 days I studied everything very carefully. All
sides and the top were glass, but the bottom was not. He had a few objects in
there with him and some blankets. I recorded one time he was moving around
and he definitely had a bottle in there. I have this on video.
What on earth can he do with a bottle if there is no way to fill it up? Nothing in or
out for 44 days. This question was often asked on the forums discussing how he
was still alive. There definitely was no tube or anyway to fill up his bottle with
anything external, no way to even collect rainwater which there was no much of
over those 44 days. But he was filling up the bottle with his own living water
every time he peed into it he would drink it secretly under the blanket.
The other question is with nothing in or out for 44 days what would happen to all
his human waste? Well the urine just went around and around. He also had some
special tubs under that blanket for cramping into. These special tubs can be
sealed away once full. After a while on only orin you don't produce much crap
anyway. His back passage once completely empty would fill with bile, which is
perfectly healthy.
Could he have gone longer? YES most certainly. One 24 year old Chinese man in
the Second World War named Poon Lim was on a ship that was torpedoed. He
ended up alone on an open life raft on the South Atlantic Ocean. He drifted for more than four months only looping his orin. His journey is the longest survival at
sea. There could have been other survival success stories if only they knew the
truth about orin as Poon Lim was taught in China. The truth about Orin is well
known through Asia, going far back in India, China and Japan. How many people
have died or come near to death in a survival situation where they could have
just did what Poon Lim did.
He did manage to catch a little rain water during his 133 days but not much
considering he was floating around the equator and the temperatures were
unbearable. He spent a lot of time in the hot day submerged in the sea to try to
keep cool, only climbing back onto his 8' life raft to loop his orin. His own orin
gave him everything he needed and he went on longs swims every day. He said
he felt strong and well during his long drift. According to general understanding
you should not be able to do this with no food or water for so long.
After a few months and the occasional storm he went through an unusually fierce
storm which almost destroyed his liferaft. Due to his orin looping, He had the
strength to endure the storm and after he was able to repair the raft best he
could. Other survival stories where they did not loop all their orin always show
the survivors in a very bad way or dead after that long with no food or water. Not
so for those who loop their own perfect water.
When he was eventually rescued after 133 days drifting he was actually in
surprisingly good shape. He had lost only about 9kg (22lbs) but was able to walk
and climb a ladder unaided. He was asked could he have survived longer only
drinking his urine? He said yes much longer. This is such a powerful truth, this
has tried to be kept secret. He was quoted as also saying I hope no one will ever
have to beat that record. To date nobody has survived longer than Poon Lim on a
raft at sea. He is still in the Guinness book of records but they have purposefully
left out the orin looping part of the story.
 Interestingly ‘I’m loopin’ is an anagram I made of his name. I have designed and
built a micro house boat even smaller than his life raft. In fact two of my micro
crusiers could fit on his life raft. I named it in his honour. His name Poon Lim is
an anagram of I'm loop'n, and this is what I named my micro cruiser. As small as
it is I one day want to go cruising in it to prove that all you need is to loop your
own water. There is not much room to store any food or water for a voyage, but
all you need is a cup or a bottle to loop all your own water.
He lived a long and happy life in Brooklyn New York promoting the benefits of
orin and died as an old man in his 90s. But the orin drinking part of the story has
often been covered up and tried to be hidden. Not many survival books promote
this they all try to hide this secret. Old accounts of Poon Lim all mentioned him
drinking his urine to survive, but the recent accounts have changed the story to
try to keep the secret hidden.
Laurence of Arabia wrote a brilliant book about what lessons he learnt fighting
the Turks. He copied a scripture from Proverbs written by wise Kong Solomon,
calling it the seven pillars of wisdom.An interesting observation he made about the Arabs compared with the British
soldiers is that the Arabs didn't eat nearly as much as the Brits. They only had
about a third of the food consumed that the Brits did. They ate only once per day
compared to the Brits eating at least three times. He also commented about the
British camps had so much human waste compared with the Arabs because they
didn't eat so much.
The Arabs were eating once per day in the evening, and the Brits were eating
morning, noon and night. The body has to push all that food through it using
tremendous amounts of energy. Other accounts mention how the Arabs knew
the truth about drinking their urine. This is how they could cross deserts in
blinding heat and not need to carry huge amounts of water. There are also many
accounts of drinking camel urine to supplement their own. Almost every animal
has been caught on video drinking urine. This is a natural instinct.
I have also been fascinated by Dr Amen Ra who only eats one meal per day and
he looks and talks like a Demi God and he is a gold medal weight lifter. Look him
up online to see what I mean. He mentioned the seven pillars of wisdom in his
writings so he must have read about urine therapy. As far as I know he hasn’t
come out and admitted to looping, but I suspect he does and keeps it secret as
many choose to do.
Dr Amen Ra talks about how we in the western modern world all eat far too
much and too often. He used Laurence writings about the Arabs to confirm they
only went for a crap every day or so after they ate. Sometimes they didn't eat at
all; 48 hr or longer fasts so didn't need to crap. He says as long as everything is
passing through, then this is healthy, if you eat very little like the Arabs did.
The British camp had so much crap to deal with because the men were eating so
much more than the locals.
The take home point is we are far more healthy and better off eating less


regressions of their tumors via this therapy, at the cost of
severe side eﬀects, which have killed several people. The
question of the IL-2’s long-term inﬂuence on the rest of the
body remains unanswered.
Despite their drawbacks, interleukins are on the verge of
becoming the next promising cancer cure, as interferon, a
close chemical relation, was the cure of the 1970s. Already,
teams of genetic enginee rs are racing to ﬁgure out how to
manufacture interleukins on a marketable scale. With a
sinking feeling, one senses that another false hope  is being
born. Why is the promise neve r fulﬁlled? Medicine knows
hundreds of facts about interleukins, such as that “thealpha and beta strains of interleukin-1 are only 26 percent
homologous at the amino -acid level of their genes”; or that
both bind to receptors “with high aﬀinity in the 10–10 molar
range.” When one penetrates the jargon, these are not
insigniﬁcant facts.
Yet they say literally nothing about interleukin’s
intelligence, which is the salient point. If interleukins
“know” when and where to ﬁght cancer, then it is not their
molecules that should interest us, but something invisible—
the cell’s ability to recog nize that a cancerous memory is
present and needs to be eradicated. This cannot be injected
into the body. The body’s war against cancer pits
intelligence against intelligence. The physical
manifestations—interferon, interleukin, hormones,
peptides, et cetera—may  be thought of as weapons if you
like, but they must ﬁrst be aimed.
In the deepest sense, that is why I have no faith in the
“magic bullet” approach. Penicillin was an eﬀective bullet
because one’s aim did not have to be at all accurate; once
an antibiotic is in the bloodstream, it automatically attacks
the cell walls of bacteria and destroys them. Similarly, early
chemotherapy for cancer was a crude bullet, no diﬀerent
from the chemical warfare of W orld W ar I. (In fact, the most
toxic drugs used against cancer, called alkylating agents,
originated with nitrogen mustard, the infamous mustard
gas that so terriﬁed soldiers in that war.) Later classes of
chemotherapy, such as the various adrenal horm ones and
estrogen, derived from the body itself, and therefore their
aim was less approxim ate; but now we see that this
advance in fact may be the last gasp of the magic-bullet
theory.
At a certain point, the chemicals you want to use are so
precise that their action is eﬀective only within the
narrowest possible limits. If you aim a hormone, you have
to hit one receptor, not just the huge, broad avenues of thebloodstream where penicillin goes. If the receptor you want
to hit is involved in a complex process, as the ones for
interleukins are, then no aim may ever be accurate enough,
for the life and death of the cell involves the precise
attunement of every chemical it contains. By analogy, if you
mistune one string inside a piano, you have thrown
everything out of tune; a piano sonata will never be right if
even one note is wrong.
I do not mean to make this sound like the logic of doom.
Millions of patients have been successfully treated with
cancer drugs. The toxicity of chemot herapy has been
steadily reduced, and in many cases the dreaded side
eﬀects that have given the treatment its bad reputation are
actually fairly mild, particularly considering the risk of
leaving cancer untreate d. But it still remains true that
without very early detection, cancer is incurable. If a
patient comes to me with lung cancer, even early detection
is no help. I can give him radiation and call it a therapy, but
in 95 percent of the cases it is little more than a short
reprieve—perhaps he and I go through with it just to fend
oﬀ the despair of having no treatment at all. Other common
cancers, such as melanomas, belong in this category.
We desperately need a medicine without bullets. If you
look at interleukins free of a material bias, their most
important attributes are invisible. Interleukins are being
produced by the immune cell’s DNA in exact dosages,
combinations, and timing, all of which are more important
than the molecule itself.
A white cell engulﬁng an invader, such as a bacterium or
cancer cell, looks decepti vely simple under the microscope,
like a drop of amber surrounding a ﬂy. In actuality, there is
no more intricate process in the human body. An
interleukin arrives on the scene at a precisely determined
point in a most exacting  maneuver. We may call this the
“hunt for cancer,” but much of the immune process ishighly abstract. It is conduc ted almost entirely by the
exchange of information.  Hitting the target is one of the
more minor parts of the campaign.
Before a macrophage, or immune cell, ever secretes any
anti-cancer agent, the immune system goes throu gh many
other steps. It must ﬁrst detect that a problem exists and
identify it exactly; a cancer cell is not a virus, and neither
one is a bacterium. Using a class of message carriers called
helper T-cells, the body notiﬁes the rest of the immune
system to become activated and starts to produce natural
killer cells. To make sure that the killers do not destroy the
wrong thing,  the body hangs a chemical nametag on the
macrophages inscribed with the enemy’s identity, which
they can show to other cells they meet. This is just the
barest outline of the immune system’s initial sequence of
action, which has many branches, overlappings, and
unexplained convolutions.
Having just fathomed the full intricacy of the immune
system in the last ﬁve years, researchers like to compare it
to the brain in complexity. Like the brain, the immune
system has a phenome nal capacity for absorb ing new
information, learning and memorizing the identity of any
new disease  organism, and sorting out billions of bits of
knowledge. We could just as easily say that the brain and
the immune system are not like each other—they are each
other, becau se they operate within the same chemical
network.
The only diﬀerence between an immune cell and a brain
cell is that their DNA has selected to emphasiz e certain
aspects of its total knowledge and suppress others.
Interleukin comes very close in structure to being a
neuropeptide (the research literature calls it a
“hormonelike polypeptide”). This means that when our
emotions join up with molecules, like riders on a horse, the
mounts they choose are almost identical to interleukin. Forall intents and purposes,  to feel happy and to ﬁght cancer
are much the same thing at the molecular level. We could
call both of them healing messages. It is false even to
divide cells into senders and receivers of such messages;
for although certain immune cells secrete interleukins as
part of their speciﬁc role, virtually every cell in the body
can receive them, implyi ng an ability to produce them as
well. Perhaps this “silent” ability is activated in
spontaneous remissions.
Or are there levels of thought that ﬁght the ghosts of
memory hand to hand, and the physical molecules we see
are just so many ﬁred shells littering the battleﬁeld? For
this last possibility to be true, the mind would have to be
directly aware that a cancerous memory is endangering us.
Certainly the addict and the anorexic know that the ghost
is there. And I have already mentioned certain tumors,
such as tumor of the pancreas, that begin to make the
patient moody and depressed long before the doctor can
physically detect the malignancy. This early warning still
depends on the actual presence of a cancer cell. However,
that does not exclude a warning that is earlier still.
To ﬁnd out where it might come from, we will have to go
deeper into the whole issue of how intelligence and matter
are paired. It is imperat ive to do this, I believe, before the
magic-bullet theory collapses. Interleukin is not a bullet but
a speck of life on the move, with intelligence the invisible
rider. Life itself is intelligen ce riding everywhere on
chemicals. We mustn’t make the mistake of thinking that
the rider and the horse are the same. Intelligence is free to
go where it likes, even where molecules cannot.
EXPANDING THE TOPICBy saying that a thought is always paired with a brain
chemical and vice versa, this chapter took an important
step. The wall that separates mind and body is thick and
ancient. Only by going down to the molecular level and
tagging the very chemicals that carry out the instructions
of the mind can a new picture emerge.
But a nicely stated theory that comes wrapped in an
intel

body, as well as strengthening the back and the nerves in the body. It also
stimulates the meridians of the bladder, gallbladder, and stomach. These
meridians lie along the legs, and so it helps to reduce water retention and
excessive weight and lowers the blood pressure.
Always practice both parts of the exercise at the same sitting as they
balance and complement each other.
STO MACH HEALING EXE RCIS E
This exercise helps stomach pain, ulcers, over-acidity, flatulence, in
digestion, and stomach cancer. It helps take the focus of the mind away
from the stomach.
1. Sit in a comfortable position, preferably on a chair with your feet
flat on the floor, your thighs parallel to the floor, and your spine erect
and straight.
Figures 72a and 72b. Stomach Healing Exercise.
148 The Internal Exercises
2. Place your left palm on the stomach area slightly to the left of the
abdominal cavity.
3. Inhaling, slowly move the palm of your right hand away from your
chest, concentrating and fixing your eyes on the tip of the fingers. As
you push your hand and arm forward, feel that you're pushing a heavy
object with the heel of your hand. Your eyes should intently follow
the movements of your right hand throughout this exercise.
4. Exhaling, slowly bring your right hand back to your chest.
S. Perfonn this in and out movement for a total of 7 times.
NOTE: As you move your hand away from your chest, feel a band of
energy moving out of your stomach. The right hand is draining the
energy. Then feel the left hand absorb new energy into the stomach.
For this exercise to be effective, you must concent rate deeply on what
you are doing. The exercise should be done slowly, with total syn
chronization of your breath, mind, and hand movements.
THE LIVER EXERC ISE
Besides the lungs, there are two other main filters of the body: the
kidneys and liver. The liver filters toxins from the body ; therefore, we must
perfonn the Liver Exercise to keep the liver functioning properly.
Throughout this exercise, as with all the exercises, you want to keep
your mind on what you are doing. It helps if you can feel the flow of energy
across your chest. Keeping your mind on the task helps to increase the
benefits derived from doing the exercise as well as serving to unify your
mind with your body. Practice this exercise in the morning after you have
performed the Kidney Exercise.
I. Sit or lie down in a comfortable position. (Refer to the descriptions
of the proper way to sit and lie down.)
2. Place the palm of your right hand on the right lateral side of your
body so that it lies at the base of your rib cage.
3. Push your hand across the front of your chest following the line
made by the lower rib bones of your chest. Rub up toward your
149 The Internal Exercises
sternum and then down toward the left lateral side of your chest.
4. Rubbing once from the right to the left constitutes one tum. Repeat
the movement for a total of 36 times.
Figure 73. Liver Exercise.
NOTE A: The heel of your hand should exert pressure on the skin as
you rub your hand across it. The liver lies just below the skin under
the right rib cage on the right side of the body. The pres sure exert ed by
the hand rubbing across the chest stimulates the flow of energy as well
as the circulation of blood to the liver.
NOTE 8: You may also use your left han d to rub across your chest,
beginning at the left lateral side and again following the outline made
by the lower ribs as you rub across your chest to the right side. The
stomach lies just below the skin on the left side of the chest, and so
this hand rubbing keeps the energy flowing to the stoma ch.
Do this exercise 36 times also. You may want to alternate han ds,
starting first with the right hand for one tum, then using your left hand
for one tum, continuing the rotation until you have perf ormed 36
rubbings with each hand.
Practicing both forms of this exercise helps build up the relationship
between the digestive organs, stomach, and liver. One wants to push the
energy from one organ to the other so that the two organs will work together
smoothly.
Recen tly, while on a lecture tour, I had reason to demonstra te this
exercise. I asked my audience to perform it for themselves. I noted at the
time one woman who entered into the spirit of it with obvious gusto.
ISO The lnterMI Exercises
Several weeks later, that same woman telephoned my office to ask if she
might fly up to see me. When she arrived, to my great astonishment, she
said she had made the trip only to thank me. ''For what?'' I asked. ''For the
Liver Exercise," she replied. "I have had liver trouble all my life. When
you demonstrated the Liver Exercise at your lecture, I said to myself,
'What have I got to lose?' and began doing the exercise. Two weeks later,
at my regular checkup, my physician told me my liver condition had
improved sixty percent, and he couldn't imagine why. So that's why I'm
here. Simply to thank you!"
THE KIDNEY EXERC ISE
This exercise stimulates the adrenal glands and the kidneys, which lie
directly behind the small of the back. Lower back pain is often caused by a
weakness in the kidneys. Two factors which help weaken the kidneys are
drinking an excess of liquids and standing on the feet for prolonged
periods. By practicing this exercise you will be strengthen ing, energizing,
and healing the kidneys and adrenals. By association you will be helping
lower back problems as well as strengthening the eyes, as the kidneys are
also connected with the eyes. Further, the exercise helps keep the skin
smooth and beautiful, as the kidneys' capacity for filtering toxins is kept at
a maximum, and encourages strong sexual feelings by energizing the
glandular system.
This exercise may by practiced in a standing or prone position.
I. Rub your hands together vigorously to get the energy flowing into
your palms and fingers.
2. Place your palms on the small of your back. Keep your upper body
tilted slightly forward. Feel the energy and heat flowing from your
hands into your back and kidneys.
3. Massage the small of your back by rubbing up and down and then
in a circular motion across your back.
4. Clench your fingers together to form two fists and hit the small of
your back with the back of your hands. Pummel the area softly for a
few seconds.

Figures 74a and 74b. Kidney Exercise.
5. Repeat the rubbing and pummeling action for a total of three
times.
6. This exercise should be done in the morning or whenever there is
lower back pain.
THE LOWER BAC K EXERC ISES
Pain itself is not a disease but rather a signal of an existing or developing
problem. Lower back pain is no exception. Lumbago, lordosis, slipped
discs, and other back problems limit movement and create unnecessary
pain. The Lower Back Exercises are designed to strengthen the spine, the
muscles around the abdomen, vertebrae, tail bone, and kidneys. When
done daily, they can correct lower back problems.
152 The Internal Exercises
Exercise 1
1. Sit in a comfortable position and bring your knees up to your
chest. Hold around the knees with your hands. If possible, grab onto
your elbows with your hands.
2. As you inhale, straighten your spine and lift your head upward.
3. As you exhale, hunch your back so your lower abdomen becomes
like a bail-as if you were about to roll over backward. Your head
will come forward toward your knees.
4. Repeat th is straightening and hunching movement for a total of 7
times. Seven is the number of creation, and this exercise will help
create a new back. Practice all the movements slowly, with your full
concentration on your lower back.
Figures 75a and 75b. Exercis el.
Exercise 2
This exercise may be done while lying on your back.
I. Place one hand under your lower back and feel the hollow space
under your lower spine.
2. Tuck under your tail bone and drop your lower back to the floor as
much as possible.
153 The Internal Exercises
Figure 76. Exercise 2.
3. Release your back to the beginning position, and start again.
4. Repeat this progression for a total of7 times, which comple tes one
cycle.
THE SUN WORSHIP EXERC ISE
Sunlight represents a positive, energizing force which we can harness to
help cleanse our bodies as well as our minds. Sunlight enables the skin of
our bodies to produce vitamin D, a necessary nutrient for good health. The
combination of fresh air and sunlight has been used throughout the ages as a
tonic for many ailments of the body.
The Sun Worship Exercise works


), or if it makes you feel nauseated or you are just
not able to get it down, you may instead use the second best choice,
magnesium citrate (see details below). Set out the citrus fruit you will be
using later, so that it can warm to room temperature. 8:00 p.m.: Drink your
second serving of Epsom salt. 9:30 p.m.: If the Epsom salt has not
prompted at least one bowel movement until now, it is usually because you
have already done a thorough colon cleanse (colonic irrigation, Colema, or
water enema) within the past 6-8 hours. However, this may also be because
you have not cleansed your colon beforehand; in this case, take a water
enema at this time (see instructions on how to perform a water enema in
chapter 5). This will trigger a series of bowel movements and also make it
easier for the liver and gallbladder to release stones. Note: Congestion in
the colon can prevent the proper opening of the gallbladder and reduce the
flush’s effectiveness.
9:45 p.m.: Thoroughly wash the grapefruits (or lemons and oranges).
Squeeze them by hand and extract the juice. You will need about 6 oz. (180
ml) juice. Pour the juice and 4 oz. (120 ml) olive oil into a glass jar that has a
lid. Close the jar tightly and shake hard, about 20 times or until the solution
is watery. For best results, drink this mixture at 10:00 p.m., but if you feel
you still need to visit the bathroom a few more times, you may delay this
step for up to 10-15 minutes.
10:00 p.m.: Stand next to your bed (do not sit down) or near there and drink
the mixture, if possible, without interruption. Closing the nostrils while
drinking it and without taking a breath seems to work best. Some people,
though, prefer to drink it through a large plastic straw. If necessary, use a
little honey between sips, which helps the mixture go down more smoothly.
Most people, though, have no problem drinking in one go. It’s best not to
take more than 5 minutes for this. You may wish to quickly brush your teeth
to get rid of the taste of the concoction.
PLEASE LIE DOWN IMMEDIATELY!
This is essential for helping to release the gallstones!
Turn off the lights and lie flat on your back with one or two pillows propping
your head up. Your head should be higher than your abdomen. If this is
uncomfortable, lie on your right side with your knees pulled toward your
head, but also keep your head elevated. Lie perfectly still for at least 20
minutes, and try not to speak! You want to use all the available energy to
release stones and not divert it elsewhere.
Close your eyes and put your attention on your liver.17.07.2017 The Amazing Liver And Gallbladder Flush By Andreas Moritz
http://www.curezone.org/cleanse/liver/Andreas-Moritz-Amazing-Liver-Flush.asp 8/17(Note: To relax the bile ducts further, you may place a piece of cloth soaked
in castor oil or warm apple cider vinegar over the liver area. This is not
necessary, but some people find it to be beneficial)
You may feel the stones traveling along the bile ducts like marbles. There
won’t be any spasms or pain because the magnesium in the Epsom salt
keeps the bile duct valves wide open, dilated, and relaxed, and the oily bile
that is discharged along with the stones keeps the bile ducts well
lubricated. (The situation is very different in the case of a gallstone attack
where magnesium is not present and bile concentration is relatively low)
After the first crucial 20 minutes, you may remove the extra pillows and go
into your normal sleeping position; however, avoid sleeping on your
stomach. It is best to remain in bed, but if at any time during the night you
feel the urge to have a bowel movement, do so. Check if there are already
small gallstones (pea-green or tan-colored ones) floating in the toilet. In the
rare case you feel sick at any time during the liver cleanse, please follow
the instructions provided under “Feeling Sick During The Flush” in this
chapter.

The Following Morning
6:00–6:30 a.m.: Upon awakening, drink a glass of warm water. Shortly after,
drink your third portion of Epsom salt. Rest, read, or meditate. If you are
very sleepy, you may go back to bed. However, it is best if the body stays in
an upright position. Most people feel fine, but low in energy until later in the
morning.
8:00–8:30 a.m.: Drink your fourth and last portion of Epsom salt. 10:00–
10:30 a.m.: You may drink freshly pressed fruit juice at this time. One half-
hour later, you may eat one or two pieces of fresh fruit. One hour later, you
may eat regular (but light) food, preferably vegetarian. Make certain you
don’t overeat, and stop eating when you still feel a little hungry. By the
evening or the next morning you should be back to normal and feel the first
signs of improvement. Continue to eat light meals during the following 2-3
days. Remember, your liver and gallbladder have undergone major surgery,
albeit without the harmful side effects or the expense.
Drinking Enough Water During the Cleanse
During the entire process of liver cleansing, including the 6-day
preparation, make certain to drink enough water, especially when thirsty.
However, avoid drinking water right after taking Epsom salt (allow 10-15
min) and for the first 2 hours after drinking the oil mixture. To produce
enough bile and to remove stones from the liver and gallbladder during the
liver flush, the body has to be well hydrated. Dehydration can, in fact,
render the liver flush ineffective.
 17.07.2017 The Amazing Liver And Gallbladder Flush By Andreas Moritz
http://www.curezone.org/cleanse/liver/Andreas-Moritz-Amazing-Liver-Flush.asp 9/17Contraindications
(When the liver flush is not recommended):
Bowel obstruction:
If there is an obstruction in the small bowel, the liver flush should not be
attempted. A small-bowel obstruction (SBO) is caused by a variety of
pathologic processes. These include postoperative adhesions, followed by
malignancy, Crohn’s disease, and hernias. Surgeries most closely
associated with SBO are appendectomy, colorectal surgery, and
gynecologic and upper gastrointestinal (GI) procedures.

Weakness:
Individuals who are very weak and emaciated (underweight) should not
attempt liver flushes. If this applies to you, regaining your strength and
stamina through the other recommendations made in this book, should be
your first priority. Once your body has regained a more healthy weight and
feels stronger, you may attempt your first liver flush.
Bowel Diseases:
If a part of the large bowel has been removed, it is still possible to do the
liver cleanses. However, they should be avoided if there is any
inflammatory disease, such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease,
diverticulitis, diverticulosis, numerous polyps, and large hemorrhoids.
Please refer to my book, Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation, to
address the dietary and lifestyle causes for these disorders. Once healed
up, you can safely do liver flushes.

Acute Infection, Prescription drugs:
Do not cleanse your liver when you suffer an acute infection; take
prescriptions drugs (except mild thyroid medication); have fissures or large
hemorrhoids; experience strong abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting; are
dehydrated; or have frequent diarrhea or bloody stools.
Constipation and Hemorrhoids:
Hemorrhoids, which are congested, varicose veins in the lower intestinal
tract, usually result from chronic constipation. If you are constipated and
still attempt to do the liver flush, the oil mixture may back up or remain in
the stomach unduly long. Eventually, the esophageal valve opens and you
may feel nauseous, feel faint and throw up. If you still pass stones, the
stone material and/or liver toxins may cause any existing hemorrhoid(s) to
rupture and bleed. Although passing some blood may appear to be scary, it17.07.2017 The Amazing Liver And Gallbladder Flush By Andreas Moritz
http://www.curezone.org/cleanse/liver/Andreas-Moritz-Amazing-Liver-Flush.asp 10/17actually helps remove the toxins these varicose veins harbor. This can
greatly improve intestinal health. However, it is still best if you can do
everything you can to avoid constipation, so that hemorrhoids won’t
develop. Then you can also do the proper colon cleanse before the liver
flushes, and thereby avoid the undesirable nausea and potential vomiting
of the oil mixture. To improve constipation, go to sleep before 10 p.m., drink
enough water, and eat the main meal of the day at around noon. When
choosing foods, eat more water-containing
