Rite No. 3
    —n—RITE NUMBER THREE
“The third Rite should be practiced immediately after prac-
ticing Rite Number Two. It, too, is a very simple one. All one
needs to do is to kneel on his ‘prayer rug,’ place his hands on
his thighs, and lean forward as far as possible with the head
inclined so that the chin rests on the chest. Now lean back-
ward as far as possible; at the same time the head should be
lifted and thrown back as far as it will go. Then bring the
head up along with the body. Lean forward again and start
the rite all over. This Rite is very effective in speeding up
Vortexes ‘E,’ ‘D,’ and ‘C’; especially ‘E. ’
“I have seen more than 200 Lamas perform this Rite to-
gether. In order to turn their attention within, they closed
their eyes. In this way they would not become confused by
what others were doing and thus have their attention diverted. “The Lamas, more than two and a half millenniums ago, dis-
covered that all good things come from within. They discovered
that every worthwhile thing must have its origin within the
individual. This is something that the Occidental has never
been able to understand and comprehend. He thinks, as | did,
that all worthwhile things must come from the outside world. “The Lamas, especially those at this particular Lamasery,
are performing a great work for the world. It is performed,
however, on the astral plane. This plane, from which they
assist mankind in all quarters of the globe, is high enough
above the vibrations of the world to be a powerful focal point
where much can be accomplished with little loss of effort. “Some day the world will awaken in amazement to what the
unseen forces—the Forces of Good—have been doing for the
masses. We who take ourselves in hand and make new crea-
tures of ourselves in every imaginable way, each is doing a
marvelous work for mankind everywhere. Already the efforts
of these advanced individuals are being welded together into
One Irresistible Power. A new day is dawning for the world—
it is already here. But it is only through individuals like the
Lamas, and you and me that the world can possibly be helped. “Most of mankind, and that includes those in the most en-
lightened countries, like America and England, is still in the
darkest of the Dark Ages. However, they are being prepared
for better and more glorious things, and as fast as they can be
initiated into the higher life, just that fast will the world be
made a better place in which to live. ”

  Rite No. 4

—4—RITE NUMBER FOUR
“Now for Rite Number Four,” said the Colonel. ‘The first
time I tried this it seemed very difficult, but after a week it
was as simple to do as any of the others. “Sit on the ‘prayer rug’ with the feet stretched out in front. Then place the hands alongside the body. Now raise the body
and bend the knees so that the legs, from the knees down, are
practically straight up and down. The arms, too, will be
straight up and down while the body, from the shoulders to the
knees, will be horizontal. Before pushing the body to a hor-
izontal position the chin should be well down on the chest. Then, as the body is raised the head should be allowed to drop
gently backward as far as it will go. Next, return to a sitting
position and relax for a moment before repeating the proced-
ure. When the body is pressed up to the complete horizontal
position tense every muscle in the body. This will have a
tendency to stimulate Vortexes ‘F,’ ‘G,’ ‘E,’ ‘D’ and ‘C. ’
“After leaving the Lamasery,” continued Colonel Bradford,
“I went to a number of the larger cities in India, and as an
experiment conducted classes for both English people and
natives. I found that the older members of either felt that
unless they could perform a Rite perfectly, right from the
beginning, they believed no good could come from it. I had
considerable difficulty in convincing them that they were
wrong. Finally I persuaded them to do the best they could and
see just what happened in a month’s time. After a good deal
of persuasion I was able to get them to do their best, and the
results in a month’s time were more than gratifying. “T remember in one city I had quite a number of old people
in one of my classes. With this particular Rite—Number Four
—they could just barely get their bodies off the floor; they
couldn’t get it anywhere near a horizontal position. In the
same class were several much younger persons who had no
difficulty in performing the Rite perfectly from the very start. This so discouraged the older people that I had to ask the
younger ones to refrain from practicing it before their older
class-mates. I explained that I could not do it at first, either;
that I couldn’t do a bit better than any of them; but that I
could perform the Rite 50 times in succession now without
feeling the slightest strain on nerves or muscles; and in order
to convince them, I did it right before their eyes. From then
on the class broke all records for results accomplished. —15—

  Rite No. 5

—16—RITE NUMBER FIVE
“The best way to perform this Rite is to place the hands on
the floor about two feet apart. Then, with the legs stretched
out to the rear with the feet also about two feet apart, push
the body, and especially the hips, up as far as possible, rising
on the toes and hands. At the same time the head should be
brought so far down that the chin comes up against the chest. “Next, allow the body to come slowly down to a ‘sagging’
position. Bring the head up, causing it to be drawn as far
back as possible. “After a few weeks, that is after you become quite pro-
ficient in this movement, let the body drop from its highest
position to a point almost but not quite touching the floor. The
muscles should be tensed for a moment when the body is at
the highest point, and again at the lowest point. Before the
end of the first week this particular Rite will be one of the
easiest ones to perform for the average person. “Everywhere I go,” went on the Colonel, “ folks, at first, call
these Rites physical culture exercises. I would like to make it
clearly understood that these are not physical culture exer-
cises at all. They are only performed a few times a day; so
few times that they could not possibly be of any value as
physical culture movements. What the Rites actually do is
this: They start the seven Vortexes spinning at a normal rate
of speed; at the speed which is normal for, say, a young, strong,
robust, virile man of twenty-five years of age. “Now in such a person the Vortexes are all spinning nor-
mally at the same rate of speed. On the other hand, if you
could view the seven Vortexes of the average middle-aged man
—weak, unhealthy, and semi-virile, as he is—you would notice
at once that some of the Vortexes had greatly slowed down in
their spinning movement; and worse still, all were spinning at
a different rate of speed—none of them working together in
harmony. The slower ones allowed that part of the body which
they govern to degenerate, deteriorate, and become diseased. The faster ones, spinning at a much greater speed would have
caused nervousness and nerve exhaustion. All of them making
the individual anything but a real man. “The only difference between youth and virility, and old age
and senility, is simply the difference in the rate of speed at
which the Vortexes are spinning. Normalize the different
speeds, and the old man becomes a new man again. ”
—7—Further Information
When the Colonel had finished his description of the Five
Rites I said to him,
“Let me ask you some questions now. ”
“Very well,” he replied. “That is just what I want you to do. ”
“I feel that from your description I understand the Rites
quite well,” I began, “but when and how often are they to be
employed. ”
“They can be used either night and morning,” answered the
Colonel, “in the morning only, or just at night, if it is more
convenient. I use them both morning and night, but I would
not advise so much stimulation for the beginner until he has
practiced them for about four months. At the start he could
use them the full number of times in the morning, and then in
the evening he could gradually build up until finally he is doing
the same amount of practice as in the morning. ”
“Just how many times a day should a man use these Rites. " was my next question. “To start with,” said he, “I would suggest you practice each

vision—when they’re ready, their own teachers will surely appear. Here’ s a conclu ding thought on the elusive nature of the Tao, written by
Hafiz many centuries after the death of Lao-tzu:
If you think that the T ruth can be known
From wor ds,

If you think that the Sun and the Ocean
Can pass thr ough that tiny opening called the mouth. O someone should start laughing! Someone should start wildly laughing—
Now! Do the T ao Now
Today, become conscious of the force that allows your every movement. For five minutes in your meditation, stay in “the gap” between your
thoughts and notice the elusive but omnipresent invisible Source  that allows
you to speak, hear, touch, and move. (I’ve created a meditation that can
assist you in this process, and it’ s included in my book Getting in the Gap. ) OceanofPDF.com22nd Verse
The flexible ar e preserved unbr oken. The bent become straight. The empty ar e filled. The exhausted become r enewed. The poor ar e enriched. The rich ar e confounded. Therefore the sage embraces the one. Because he doesn’ t display himself,
people can see his light. Because he has nothing to pr ove,
people can trust his wor ds. Because he doesn’ t know who he is,
people r ecognize themselves in him. Because he has no goal in mind,
everything he does succeeds. The old saying that the flexible ar e preserved unbr oken is sur ely right! If you have truly attained wholeness,
everything will flock to you. OceanofPDF.comLiving with
Flexibility
Having lived by the ocean for many years, I’ve observed the beauty and
majesty of the tall palm trees that grow at the water ’s edge, often measuring
30 or 40 feet in height. These stately giants are able to withstand the
enormous pressure that hurricane-force winds bring as they blow at speeds
up to 200 miles per hour. Thousa nds of other trees in the huge storms’ paths
are uprooted and destroyed, while the stately  palms remain fixed in their
rooted selves, proudly holding sway over their otherwise decimated
domain. So what is the palm trees’ secret to staying in one piece? The
answer is flexibility. They bend almost down to the ground at times, and it’s
that very ability that allows them to remain unbroken. In this 22nd verse of the Tao Te Ching, Lao-tzu invites you to embrace a
similar quality of elasticity. Begin to sense the oneness that is the Tao
supplying your resiliency and grounding, helping you withstand  the storms
of your life as pliantly as the supple palm tree. When destructive energy
comes along, allow yourself to resist brokenness by bending. Look for
times you can make the choice to weather a storm by allowing it to blow
through without resistance. By not fighting, but instead relaxing and going
with all that confronts you, you enter “the T ao time.”
This verse implies an added benefit of wholeness, which attracts
everything to you. That is, if you want abundance, knowledge, health, love,
and all the other attributes that personify the Tao, you need to be receptive
to them. Lao-tzu instructs that you must be empty in order to become filled,
for attac hments keep you so restricted that nothing can enter your already-
filled self. Being empty in this sense means not being full of beliefs,
possessions, or ego-driven ideas, but rather remaining open to all
possibilities. This is in keeping with the nameless Tao: It doesn’ t restrict
itself to a particular point of view or a singular way of doing things; it
animates all. Similarly, the flexible person is open to all possibilities—
there’ s nothing for him or her to prove  because the Tao, not ego, is in
charge.Awareness of the Tao nurtures flexibility, and removing your rigidity
creates an atmosphere of trust. When you live from the perspective of being
able to say, “I don’ t know for certain, but I’m willing to listen,” you become
a person  whom others identify with. Why? Because your flexibility lets
them see that their point of view is welcome. By being open to all
possibilities, everyone who encounters you feels their ideas are valuable
and there’ s no need for conflict. As you connect  more and more  to your Tao nature, you begin noticing
that this principle is perpetually present, available in every moment. In
other words, the Tao isn’t trying to get someplace other than where it is. It
has no goals, no desire, no judgments; it flows everywhere because it is the
energy of creation. To be in harmony with the Tao is to be free of goals,
immersed in all that you’re doing without concern about the outcome—just
noticing in each moment and allowing yourself to flow with the creative
Source that’s energizing everyt hing and everyone in the universe. When
you live in this way, failure becomes an impossibility. How can you fail at
being yourself and trusting completely in the wisdom of the Source of
everything? W ith failure removed from your life, you understand what Lao-
tzu means when he says that “everything he does succeeds.”
Following are the messages from  Lao-tzu as he wrote out this 22nd verse
of the T ao Te Ching two-and-a-half millennia ago:
Change the way you see the storms of your life. Work at removing ego as the dominant influence over you. Release the
need for the attention of others and witness how people become drawn to
you naturally. Let go of having to win an argument and being right by
changing the atmosphere with a statement such as “You’re very likely
correct. Thanks for giving me a new 22nd Verse perspective.” This kind of
a procla mation gives everyone permi ssion to relax their rigidity because
you have no need to prove yourself or make others wrong. If you change
the way you think, the life you’r e living will change, so be willing to say, “I
don’t know” or “I’m uncertain as to why I even did what I did.” As Lao-tzu
reminds you, when you suspend your pomposity and rigidity, others
recognize themselves in your flexible nature, and they’ll trust you. Imagine yourself as a tall, stately palm tr ee.Be an organism without goals and objectives—instead, stand strong and
successful, capable of adjusting to the forces of nature. Be willing to adapt
to whatever may come your way by initially allowing yourself to
experience that ener gy, much like the bending tree in hurricane-force winds. When criticism comes, listen. When powerful forces push you in any
direction, bow rather than fight, lean rather than break, and allow yourself
to be free from a rigid set of rules—in so doing, you’ll be preserved and
unbroken. Keep an inner vision of the wind symbolizing difficult situations
as you affirm: I have no rigidity within me. I can bend to any wind and
remain unbroken. I will use the strength of the wind to make me even
stronger and better pr eserved. This simple teaching is so pleasant that you’ll wonder why you didn’ t
realize it before. In the Tao time, acknowledge the “storm” and then allow it
to be felt in your body—obser ve it without judgment, just like the tree
bends in the wind. As rigidity reappears, notic e that as well, allowing the
winds to blow as you exercise the Tao in place of ego! Seek to uncover the
root of your stiffness and achieve greater flexibility in the storms of life. When seen as this kind of opportunity to open to the Tao energy, storminess
can be transformed into exhilara ting events that uncover more of your true
nature of love. Do the T ao Now
Listen to someone express an opinion that’s the opposite of yours today. It
could be on any of a variety of topics, such as politics, the environment,
religion, drugs, war, the death penalty, or what have you. Refuse to impose
your position, and instead remark, “I’ve never considered that point of
view. Thank you for sharing your ideas with me.” By allowing a contrary
position to be heard, you’ll dismiss ego’s attitude and welcome the
flexibility of the T ao. OceanofPDF.com23rd Verse
To talk little is natural:
Fierce winds do not blow all morning;
a downpour of rain does not last the day. Who does this? Heaven and earth. But these ar e exaggerated, for ced effects,

or	a	long	time	I	didn’t	see	Baba	again. I	looked	for	him	under	his	favorite
tree,	but	weeks	passed	and	he	wasn’t	there. I	knew	he	was	a	wanderer. He
didn’t	actually	live	under	the	tree	but	only	rested	until	he	felt	the	urge	to
roam. Summer	came,	and	I	gave	up	looking. I	found	myself	thinking	a	lot. I
would	retreat	to	the	cabin	that	Baba	had	found	during	the	storm. It	was
perfectly	hidden	in	the	green	gloom	of	the	woods	by	its	thick	layer	of	vines. I	arrived	one	day	to	hear	somebody	laughing	inside. And	the	laugh	sounded

a	lot	to	tell	him	and	a	lot	to	ask,	but	Baba	didn’t	let	me	do	either. “So	your
third	day	begins,”	he	announced. “Perhaps	I	forgot	to	tell	you,	but	I	practice	alchemy,	the	science	of	changing
lead	to	gold. Only,	that’s	too	easy	I	prefer	the	real	alchemy,	the	kind	that	will

“Does	that	exist?”	I	asked. “It	must. It’s	working	on	you,”	he	said. “You’re	changing	before	my	eyes,	and
no	wonder:	I’ve	unleashed	a	force,	the	supreme	force	in	the	universe,	in	fact.”
“And	what	is	that?”	I	asked. “Love.”
I	could	feel	myself	blushing;	I	didn’t	know	what	to	say. Baba	didn’t	laugh	at
my	embarrassment,	but	said,	“If	I	just	loved	you	like	a	grandfather	or	a
favorite	uncle,	you	would	flourish. Love	is	like	fertilizer	to	the	heart—it
makes	it	grow	and	reach	for	the	sun. But	I	am	talking	about	something
cosmic,	a	force	that	is	much	more	powerful	than	family	love	or	even	romantic
love.“This	reminds	me	of	a	story	I	heard	when	I	was	your	age,”	said	Baba,	who
then	told	me	the	following	tale:
Once	there	was	a	man	who	loved	God	so	much	that	he	left	home	to	live	inside
a	temple. In	India,	God	can	be	either	father	or	mother. This	man	loved	the
Mother	God	more	than	anything	else	in	the	world,	and	so	he	spent	every	day
arranging	flowers	on	her	altar	and	praying	to	her	statue. He	always	went
around	wearing	a	dreamy	smile,	and	people	used	to	argue	behind	his	back,
some	claiming	that	he	was	amazingly	devoted,	and	others
	scoffing	that	he	was
more	than	a	bit	touched	in	the	head. One	day	the	highest	priest	in	that	part	of	the	country	stopped	by	the	temple,

“No,	I	was	never	taught	them,”	admitted	the	devotee,	who	was	getting	more

 Torre. How DMSO was chosen to be tested against an animal model of head injury among dozens of other potentially worthwhile compounds is worth men-tioning. At that time, about a dozen head injury centers existed in the United States funded by National Institutes of Health (NIH) and most of these centers were des -
perately seeking new agents to address the rising incidence of head trauma. These head injuries occurred from falls, especially in children and the elderly. Automobile accidents were also high on the list of head injury causes. Since seat belts were not in common use in the early 1970s, about 50,000 deaths
per year were recorded from acceleration–deceleration brain damage sustained mainly from falls and car crashes. Most of these deaths occurred from complications that followed injury to the brain, generally within several days following hospital admissions. The frustration from personnel working in the emergency room after admitting a severe head-injured patient, whether the patient was a child or an adult, was the inconsistent nature of the treatments available at the time, which sometimes worked, but more often did not. At the research meeting held every other week in the Division of Neurosurgery
at the University of Chicago in 1971, DMSO was proposed by a member of the fac -
ulty, Jack de la Torre, as a possible agent to test in experimental animals with severe head injury. When asked by Sean Mullan, the chief of neurosurgery, for the reasons behind this proposal, de la Torre pointed out DMSO’s unique properties as a power -
ful diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and cell membrane protector from freezing dam -
age, properties, he argued, that could potentially counteract cerebral edema buildup resulting from increased ICP. The research project was approved, and the first series of experiments involving traumatic brain injury in rhesus monkeys were scheduled soon after. A vivid account by Jack C. de la Torre described in a letter to a colleague what happened on the very first experiment following a single, acute intravenous dose of DMSO as the primary treatment for this devastating brain insult. I remember it was bitterly cold in Chicago that March morning of 1971. Tucked away
on a corner of the second floor of Billings Hospital, my technician and I struggled with
a myriad of cables, wires and electronic monitors set up to detect any changes in the brain-injured animal lying on the table. I was a newly appointed Assistant Professor 139 DMSO in Basic Neuroprotection
to the Division of Neurosurgery at the University of Chicago, the lowest professorial
rank in academics. The academic trail for me would involve over 200 publications, six books and hundreds of international medical conferences where I would lecture about injuries to the brain and spinal cord. However, that March morning, only one thing was on my mind. Will the animal survive a severe brain trauma when given a new drug that had never been tested for that purpose? The odds were not good. We had already tested, as part of being one of seven Head Injury Centers in the U.S., dozens of worthless treatments reputed to benefit this usually lethal injury. And, we would keep on searching when…on that morning, “looky, looky, look at that…!!” my technician’s eyes rolled off the animal as I finished my intravenous administration of the drug. She pointed excitedly to the monitoring charts. The charts were going crazy, instead of cardiac collapse, respiratory arrest, a flat EEG and sure death, the heart rhythm stabi -
lized, breathing returned, at first in gigantic gasps, then in steady, normal, breathing pattern. The electroencephalogram, monitoring brain cell activity, returned in full force and blood flow to the brain, which had ceased in the final stages of the injury, began flowing again and reviving the almost dead brain. It was, as if the hand of God had
somehow touched the animal’s forehead. ‘I don’t believe it’, I   stammered. But it w as
true. I felt a tingling in my spine because this reawakening of a virtually dead animal had all the markings of a medical breakthrough. The drug was dimethyl sulfoxide or DMSO for short, used years earlier as a pain lotion and anti-inflammatory agent. What we would discover and publish about dimethyl sulfoxide in the next 8 years at the University of Chicago laboratories, would be pharmacological actions of a simple molecule that should have sent shock waves through the field of medical therapeutics as one of the most important drug discoveries of the century in treating devastating brain and spinal cord trauma. Instead, the discovery, the potential for saving lives and the continued research that should have uncovered other uses for dimethyl sulfoxide and similar agents was quietly laid to rest in the coffers of forgotten medicine. It was a baffling paradox that defied a reasonable explanation and to this day still remains unclear to me. The model to simulate acute head injury in rhesus monkeys employed in some head injury centers’ research laboratories consisted of an intracranial balloon inserted extradurally via a cranial burr hole near the temporoparietal region to produce pro -
gressive brain compression and increased ICP. This injury simulated and provoked an expanding extradural hematoma, common in acceleration–deceleration injuries from motor vehicle accidents. This type of slowly evolving compression injury is also commonly seen in falls, aggression, and sports-related injuries. Once in place in the extradural space, the balloon was slowly expanded with 0.2 mL water incre -
ments until respiratory arrest was reached. One hour after each treatment, the bal -
loon was decompressed. 63 We were later to discover that no other agent tested for
head injury in our laboratories, including steroids and hypertonic agents, had the dramatic effects seen with DMSO. In the initial experiments by de la Torre,
63 40 monkeys were divided into three
groups ( Table 8.1). Group 1 received 1 g/kg urea; Group 2, 2 g/kg of a 50% solution
of DMSO; and Group 3, physiological saline at the same volume as the experimental
treatments. All drugs were given intravenously at the rate of 8 mL/min. The results
using DMSO or urea on brain swelling secondary to an expanding extradural lesion in monkeys showed that 10 of 15 urea-treated monkeys survived (33% mortality) and 140 Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease
the examination of these animals after 24 h showed 4 survivors sustained right-side
paresis, uneven pupil size (anisocoria), and general lethargy.63
Of the DMSO-treated monkeys, 14 survived (7% mortality) and 1 survivor showed
mild right-side paresis only. In the monkeys treated with physiological saline, 9 of 10 animals died (90% mortality) within an hour after injury, a lone survivor showed severe neurological deficits and died the following day. 63 Respiration, systemic arte -
rial pressure, carotid blood flow, ICP, and electroencephalography (EEG) were sig -
nificantly modified during the endpoint of brain compression but returned to baseline in the surviving monkeys that were free of deficits upon recovery. On the average, cortical blood flow as seen through a pial window installed in
every animal prior to injury returned to normal 23 min after treatment with DMSO and 45 min after treatment with urea. Copious volumes of urine were excreted from all monkeys within an hour after the administration of DMSO and considerably less after urea treatment. 63,64
All neurological deficits seen in the monkeys treated with either urea or DMSO
were temporary, and recovery was observed from 1 to 5 weeks after the experimen -
tal head injury.63,64 This remarkable study in nonhuman primates indicated that a
promising new agent, DMSO, was significantly more effective than urea, the clinical drug of choice at the time and used even presently for severe, closed head injury
63,64
(Table 8.1). As we will review here and in Chapter 9, further studies confirmed and
extended these observations that a safe and highly effective agent called DMSO had been found that could manage severe trauma to the brain. As will be seen and fully discussed in Chapter 9, the results obtained with DMSO
treatment of rhesus monkeys subjected to brain compression resulting in consequen-tial brain swelling were applied to humans sustaining severe closed head injuries in several pilot clinical trials. The findings from these trials clearly indicated that lives were spared and neurological deficits minimized in many patients treated with DMSO. Thus, the experimental brain trauma induced in the experimental rhesus monkeys was a price that paid off, considering the potential of saving millions of
lives who have sustained a severe, closed head injury, using DMSO when it is finally
approved by regulatory agencies. Handling and storing pure 100% DMSO for intravenous injections in animals
allowed some useful recommendations to be made for future work. 64 One observation TABLE 8.1

 birth to all
things. This is one of the laws we are to remember. Yes. Can you t ell me others? I have told you others. I’ve told you them
all, since the beginning of time. Over and
over have I told you them. Teacher after teacher have I sent you. You do not listen
to my teachers. You kill them. But why? Why do we kill the holiest amon g
us? We kill them or dishonor them, which is
the same thing. Why? Because they stand against every thought
you have that would deny Me. And deny  Me
you must if you are to deny your Self. Why would I want to deny You, or me? Because you are afraid. And because My
promises are too good to be true. Because
you cannot accept the grandest Truth. And
so you must reduce yourself to  a spirituality
which teaches fear and dependence and
intolerance, rather than love  and power and
acceptance. You are filled with f ear—and your biggest
fear is that My biggest promise might be  life’s biggest lie. And so you create the
biggest fantasy you can to defend yourself
against this: You claim that any promise
which gives you the power, and guarantees
you the love, of God must be the false
promise of the devil. God would never
make  such a promise, you tell yourself,
only the devil would —to tempt you into
denying  God’s true identity as the
fearsome, judgmental, jealous, vengeful,
and punishing  entity of entities. Even though this  description better fits the
definition of a devil (if there were one),  you
have assigned devilish characteristics to
God in order to convince yourself not  to
accept the God -like promises of your
Creator, or the God -like qualities of the
Self. Such is the power of fear. I am trying to let go of my fear. Will You tell
me—again —more of the laws? The First Law is that you can be, do, and
have whatever you can imagine. The
Second Law is that you attract what you
fear. Why is that? Emotion is the power which att racts. That
which you fear strongly, you will
experience. An animal —which you
consider a lower form of life (even though
animals act with more integrity and greater
consistency than humans) —knows
immediately if you are afraid of it. Plants —
which you consid er an even lower form of
life—respond to people who love them far
better than to those who couldn’t care  less. None of this is by coincidence. There is no
coincidence in the universe —only a  grand
design; an incredible “snowflake.”
Emotion is energy in moti on. When you
move energy, you create effect. If you
move  enough energy, you create matter. Matter is energy conglomerated. Moved
around. Shoved together. If you manipulate
energy long enough in a certain way, you
get matter. Every Master understands this
law. It is the alchemy of the universe. It is
the secret of all life. Thought is pure energy. Every thought you
have, have ever had, and ever will have  is
creative. The energy of your thought never
ever dies. Ever. It leaves your being  and
heads out into th e universe, extending
forever. A thought is forever. All thoughts congeal; all thoughts meet
other thoughts, criss -crossing in an
incredible maze of energy, forming an ever -
changing pattern of unspeakable beauty
and unbelievable complexity. Like energy att racts like energy —forming
(to use simple words) “clumps” of energy  of
like kind. When enough similar “clumps”
criss-cross each other —run into each
other —they “stick to” each other (to use
another simple term). It takes an
incomprehensibly huge amount of similar
energy “sticking together,” thusly, to form
matter. But matter will form out of pure
energy. In fact, that is the only way it can
form. Once energy becomes matter, it
remains matter for a very long time  unless
its construction is disrupted by an
opposing, or dissimilar, form of energy. This  dissimilar energy, acting upon matter,
actually dismembers the matter, releasing
the raw energy of which it was composed. This is, in elementary terms, the theory
behind your atomic bomb. Einstein came
closer tha n any other human —before or
since —to discovering, explaining, and
functionalizing the creative secret of the
universe. You should now better understand how
people of like mind can work together to
create a favored reality. The phrase
“Wherever two or more are gathered in My
name” becomes much more meaningful. Of course, when entire societies think a
certain way, very often astonishing things
happen —not all of them necessarily
desirable. For instance, a society living in fear, very often —actually, inevitably —
produces in form that which it fears most. Similarly, large communities or
congregations often find miracle -
producing power in  combined thinking (or
what some people call common prayer). And it must be made clear that even
individuals —if their thought (p rayer, hope,
wish,  dream, fear) is amazingly strong —
can, in and of themselves, produce such
results. Jesus did this regularly. He
understood how to manipulate energy and
matter, how  to rearrange it, how to
redistribute it, how to utterly control it. Many
Masters have  known this. Many know it
now. You can know it. Right now. This is the knowledge of good and evil of
which Adam and Eve partook. Until they
understood this, there could be no life as
you know it. Adam and Eve —the mythical
names you have given to  represent First
Man and First Woman —were the Father
and Mother of the human experience. What has been described as the fall of
Adam was actually his upliftment —the
greatest single event in the history of
humankind. For without it, the world of
relativity  would not exist. The act of Adam
and Eve was not original sin, but, in truth,
first blessing. You should thank them from
the bottom of your hearts —for in being the
first to make a “wrong” choice, Adam and
Eve produced the possibility of making  any
choice a t all. In your mythology you have made Eve the
“bad” one here —the temptress who ate  of
the fruit, the knowledge of good and evil —
and coyly invited Adam to join her. This
mythological set -up has allowed you to
make woman man’s “downfall” ever since,
resulti ng in all manner of warped realities —
not to mention distorted sexual views  and
confusions. (How can you feel so good
about something so bad?). What you most fear is what will most
plague you. Fear will draw it to you like a
magnet. All your holy scriptures —of every
religious persuasion and tradition which
you have created —contain the clear
admonition: fear not. Do you think this is by
accident? The Laws are very simple. 1. Thought is creative. 2. Fear attracts like energy. 3. Love is all there is. Oops, you  got me on that third one. How
can love be all there is if fear attracts like
energy? Love is the ultimate reality. It is the only. The all. The feeling of love is your
experience of God. In highest Truth, love is all there is, all there
was, and all there ever will be. When  you
move into the absolute, you move into love. The realm of the relative was  created in
order that I might experience My Self. This
has already been explained to  you. This
does not make the realm of the relative
real. It is a created reality you and  I have
devised and continue to devise —in order that we may know ourselves  experientially. Yet the creation can seem very real. Its
purpose is to seem so real,  we accept it as
truly existing. In this way, God has
contrived to create “something  else” other
than Itself (though in strictest terms this is
impossible, since God is —I AM—All That
Is). In creating “something else” —namely, the
realm of the relative —I have produced an
environment in which you may choose to
be God, rather than s imply be told that you
are God; in which you may experience
Godhead as an act of creation, rather than
a conceptualization; in which the little
candle in the sun —the littlest soul —can
know  itself as the light. Fear is the other end of love. It is the prima l
polarity. In creating the realm of the  relative, I first created the opposite of My
Self. Now, in the realm in which you live on
the physical plane, there are only two
places of being: fear and love. Thoughts
rooted in fear will produce one kind of
manif estation on the physical plane. Thoughts  rooted in love will produce
another. The Masters who have walked the planet
are those


 diabetes I was suffering from is gone as well. I was elated, this was the first time I had seen an example of how our bodies heal all our diseases if given a chance. Can you give an example of detox symptoms? Currently I have a patient who has been using a walker for many years. His legs used to be normal, but were so severely
damaged by poisonous salves that he lost his ability to walk. The salves were prescribed by doctors for a parasitic infection. A very difficult case to solve. After going on a strict diet, his body started breaking out in severe blisters allover, which is a sign of detoxification via the
skin. Since this was very uncomfortable he was on the verge of giving up. It took three 21-day water fasts and a strict diet
during 9 months before the blisters disappeared. By now he has recovered most of his walking ability, and is well on his
way to full recovery. For more examples of detox symptoms, read "What Symptoms to Expect When You Improve Your Diet." Does it often take months to recover? It depends on the patient, and on what method is used, what combination of strict diet and fasting. This summer I have had
a patient in his 30's who was in terrible shape. When he came to me he feared he would die soon. He had many tumors
and a chronic backache, and had been to multiple doctors but only gotten worse. I asked him 2 questions: Are you willing to
go on a strict diet? Are you willing to have a short water fast? He was, and the result was a real miracle, in his own words. In less than 2 months his back ache is gone, his blood pressure is down, his tumors have almost disappeared, and he has
lost 40 lb of weight. What other methods or therapies do you use? I only use the most efficient methods available, which also are as close to nature as possible, in essence a combination of
high-quality diets and fasting. Together with general advice about improved lifestyle, e.g. sleep, rest, meditation, exercise,
breathing, sunshine, etc. E.g. to get rid of pain in shortest possible time, fasting is the best choice. Drugs, herbs and similar,
even products that claim to be detoxification-enhancing, only delay healing and must be avoided. Have you had any remarkable recoveries? Of the over 30,000 patients I have taken care of I would call almost all remarkable, and many miraculous. Especially since
people usually come to me in very serious condition, often as a last resort after having tried everything else for years, but
only getting worse. The more toxic people are due to dangerous drugs taken during many years, the more necessary
correct detoxification is. This interview was made 9-2005 by the Natural Hygiene Network of Houston, a non-profit organization. Dr. Stanley S. Bass in 2002

        in weight,  equal to approximately 30
grams of protein) which he felt he needed for his anemia and sub-normal blood count. Also, he was unable to digest
cheese, nuts, or pulses without gastric discomfort, thus necessitating the use of liver for tissue building protein and iron. Then, too, the use of 100% raw foods, both animal and vegetable, provided hormones, enzymes, and other vital elements
needed for regeneration. To make the raw liver palatable, he immersed it in scalding water for several minutes, which made it taste enjoyably good. He gradually reduced the scalding time to a few seconds and was able to eat it with relish. This he alternated with raw eggs
of various species, but mostly hen’s. One day liver and the next day some eggs. Since he couldn’t handle the leafy
vegetables, tubers, or nuts, he used fresh, ripe, and uncooked fruits of a softer variety. He was able to maintain his nitrogen
balance on some eggs one day and 3 1/2 oz. of liver the following day. This was rather remarkable, since when he felt
unwell, he always fasted on water, so that he took much less than 100 grams of liver on the average, on the alternative liver
days. The balance of the diet was made up of fresh fruits which formed its main basis. To ensure an adequate supply of
sugar, he took a few spoonfuls of honey or molasses as a dessert. On the raw liver (or raw egg) and fruit diet, he found that
he was able, not only to maintain, but gradually to increase, his vitality. And one day he felt energetic enough to indulge in
running exercises in the open fields (more than three months after the cessation of the radiation treatments). He ran daily to sweat out the toxins – rested in the afternoon – and then in the evenings he went on a hike. Then working
up a great thirst he would stop at stalls and have a hot beverage of boiled juices of certain melons and herbaceous plants
(leaves boiled and diluted with water). At night he took a warm bath followed by a brisk rubdown. He gradually increased
the running to one, two, and three miles, and the tumor gradually regressed, and the breathing became easier. “My diet of raw liver, eggs, and fresh fruits provided me with a good supply of B complex containing B 6, vitamin C, iron
and lecithin, and I further took some honey, red palm oil, brewer’s yeast, and wheat germ as nutritive supplements. ” It took
more than six months for the inflammation on his face to subside completely and more than a year for his features to
become normal. The irradiated areas eventually healed, but some permanent scars remained. “I had to depend upon eggs
and fish liver for my supply of vitamin D. ” Fish liver also contains some calcium and phosphorus, but these two minerals
occur in greater quantities in egg, which also contain vitamins A and D. RAW VEGETABLE THERAPY
 With gradual digestive improvement, he was able to add raw tomatoes and cucumbers and by dipping lettuce, celery, and
cabbage in boiling water for only a few seconds, they were made palatable. He juiced hard raw vegetables like carrots. With advancing years, he reduced his intake of liver, totally excluding other animal flesh. He accustomed himself to some
cheese in addition to eggs, getting a good supply of essential amino acids. He then added plant proteins such as soybean
in the form of easily digestible curds, adding a dressing of ground nut oil. Also added were legumes, ground nuts, lotus
seeds, and natural supplements like wheat germ and yeast. As his anemic condition improved, he took liver once a week or
two weeks and relied mainly on sugar cane, beans, spinach, and other iron-rich plant foods. Thus, he gradually learned to
maintain his nitrogen equilibrium without having to take meat every day. copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648-1500    www. drbass. com 14 On his almost meatless and low starch diet, he was constantly on guard against the development of hypoproteinemia and
hypoglycemia. On some occasions he did experience mild symptoms of these conditions, but by repeatedly adjusting his
menu, he was gradually able to assess his daily requirements of protein and sugar. He always made allowance for vital
food factors as yet undiscovered, so he followed no fixed menu based on known nutrients, but constantly altered his menu. “Raw vegetable therapy, when judiciously carried out, could be a great help to the cancer patient in his fight for survival,
but for the therapy to be successful, a sound knowledge of the nutrients – particularly of essential amino acids – present in
various types of food is essential. ”
 Wong was convinced of the importance of auto-psychotherapy, wherein the patient understood that the human body is
self-healing and the natural tendency in illness is always towards recovery (called homeostasis), provided that the
causation of the illness is removed. Faith and determination in one’s recovery are essential, and if the physician can instill in
the patient the faith in the intrinsic power of the body to fight off the disease, and assure him of the chances of a final
victory, the best chances of success are then possible. Add to this the inspiration and confidence which comes when the
patient sees progressive improvement in his condition, the gradual abatement and regression of his cancerous growth, as
well as the steady increase in strength and vigor, and success is assured. In his recovery from cancer, all his chronic afflictions which existed prior to his developing cancer disappeared – viz. colds,
sore throat, sinusitis,  gingivitis, hay fever, indigestion, and insomnia. His sense of smell and taste gradually returned, the
tumor continued to regress slowly but surely, and within eight months he was completely cleared of nasal obstruction. He
was carefully examined at a hospital and the doctor stated, “You seem to be all right. There’s no trace of the tumor. ”
 He learned to avoid the cancer recurrence which he so greatly feared, by constant vigilance. By his 35th birthday, he was
so improved in health


 acid residues left behind by nitrogenous portions
of the metabolized amino acids. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is found in the cytoplasm
and mitochondria of many tissue cells, primarily in the liver, heart, skeletal muscles, kidneys,
pancreas, and red blood cells. AST is released into blood serum in proportion to cellular damage, and its detection (together
with creatine phosphokinase and lactate dehydrogenase) indicates myocardial infarction. The test
also helps in the diagnosis of acute liver disease. It monitors patient progress in healing. AST
adult serum levels range from 8 to 20 OIL. Normal values for infants are four times higher. Maximum elevations of AST are associated with viral hepatitis, severe skeletal muscle trauma,
extensive surgery, drug-induced liver injury, and passive liver congestion. Levels ranging from
10 to 20 times normal may indicate severe MI, severe infectious mononucleosis, and alcoholic
cirrhosis. Moderate-to-high levels ranging from 5 to 10 times normal indicate Duchenne muscular
dystrophy, dermatomyositis, and chronic hepatitis, along with prodromal and resolving stages of
diseases. Low-to-moderate levels of 2 to 5 times normal may show hemolytic anemia, metastatic
liver tumors, acute pancreatitis, pulmonary emboli, alcohol withdrawal syndrome, fatty liver, and
the first stages of biliary duct obstruction. The Serum Bilirubin Laboratory Test
The laboratory test for serum bilirubin, the main product of hemoglobin catabolism, is a
measurement of bile pigment which indicates the state of health of the liver and gallbladder. After
being formed in the reticuloendothelial cells, bilirubin is bound to albumin and then transported
to the liver, where it’s conjugated with glucuronic acid to form bilirubin glucuronide and bilirubin
diglticuronide. These two compounds are then excreted in bile. Measurement of indirect or
prehepatic (unconjugated) bilirubin helps to evalute hepatobiliary and erythropoietic functions. Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.comThe serum bilirubin laboratory test showing elevated levels often indicates liver damage in
which the parenchymal cells can no longer conjugate bilirubin with glucuronide. Then indirect
bilirubin reenters the bloodstream. Also, an elevated reading alerts the health professional to the
possibility of severe hemolytic anemia. This test aids in the differential diagnosis of jaundice,
biliary obstruction, and dangerous levels of unconjugated bilirubin. Normally in an adult, indirect serum bilirubin measures 11 mg/dL or less; direct serum
bilirubin of less than 0.5 mg/dL). Neonates have total serum bilirubin ranging from 1 to 12
mg/dL; if elevated to 20 mg/dL (for them, it indicates neonatal hepatic immaturity or congenital
enzyme deficiencies. An exchange blood transfusion may then be required. If readings of bilirubin are elevated for adults, the test advises about the possibility of
autoimmunity or transfusion reaction, hemolytic or pernicious anemia or hemorrhage, and
hepatocellular dysfunction perhaps from viral hepatitis. Needless to say, elevated levels of
direct conjugated bilirubin usually show biliary obstruction with overflows into the bloodstream. Intrahepatic biliary obstruction may come from viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, or chlorpromazine
reaction. Extrahepatic obstruction may come from gallstones, gallbladder cancer, pancreatic
cancer, or bile duct disease. The Serum Gamma-Glutamyl
Transpeptidase (GGT) Laboratory Test
The laboratory test for serum gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) is a measurement of
obstructive jaundice in neoplastic liver disease, and it’s also useful for the detection of excessive
alcohol consumption. The GGT enzyme is sensitive to drug use and detects alcohol ingestion;
therefore, it’s used to  determine compliance with alcoholism treatment. It also helps in the
diagnosis of obstructive jaundice and liver cancer. The normal range for GGT varies with age in males but not in females. For men ages 18 to
50 it varies between 10 and 39 U/L. Older than that, males show a GGT  range from 10 to 48 U/
L. The normal range in women is 6 to 29 U/L. Elevation signals a cholestatic liver process. Note: The immune-stimulating effect of the Gerson Therapy frequently causes a rise in GGT
blood levels. The Acid Phosphatase Laboratory Test
The laboratory test for acid phosphatase is a measurement of the prostatic and erythrocytic
isoenzymes to detect cancer. Active at a pH of 5, the two phosphatase enzymes appear in the liver,
spleen, red blood cells, bone marrow, platelets, and prostate gland. Successful treatment for prostate cancer decreases acid phosphatase levels. Its normal values
range from 0 to 1.1 Bodansky units/mL; 1 to 4 King Armstrong units/mL; 0.13 to 0.63 Bessey-

is 0 to 4.0 ng/mL. An elevated prostatic acid phosphatase test indicates Paget’s disease, Gaucher’s disease,
multiple myeloma, and a tumor that has spread beyond the prostatic capsule. If metastasized
to bone, the high acid phosphatase level accompanied by a high alkaline phosphatase shows
increased osteoblastic activity-metastatic bone cancer. The Alkaline Phosphatase (AP) Laboratory Test
An enzyme that is most active at pH 9.0, alkaline phosphatase (AP) influences bone
calcification and the transport of lipids and metabolites. The alkaline phosphatase laboratory test
measures combined activities of those AP isoenzymes found in the liver, bones, kidneys, intestinal
lining, and placenta. Bone and liver AP are always present in adult blood serum, with liver AP
most prominent—except during the third trimester of pregnancy when the placenta originates half
of all AP. The AP laboratory test is particularly sensitive to mild biliary obstruction and indicates liver
lesions. Its most specific clinical application is in the diagnosis of metabolic bone disease and
detecting skeletal diseases characterized by osteoblastic activity and local liver lesions causing
biliary obstruction such as tumor or abscess. It furnishes supplemental information for liver
function studies and GI enzyme tests, and it assesses the response to vitamin D treatment in
rickets. The normal range of serum alkaline phosphatase varies in accordance with the laboratory
method employed, but the usual total AP levels range from 30 to 120 U/L in adults and from 40
to 200 U/L in children. Since AP concentrations rise during active bone formation and growth,
infants, children, and adolescents normally show levels three times higher than adults. Additional
normal ranges for AP are 1.5 to 4 Bodansky units/dL; 4 to 13.5 King-Armstrong units/dL; 0.8 to
2.5 Bessey-Lowry units/dL; 30 to 110 U/L by SMA 1260. High AP blood levels indicate skeletal disease, intrahepatic biliary obstruction causing
cholestasis, malignant or infectious infiltrations, fibrosis, Paget’s disease, bone metastases,
hyperparathyroidism, metastatic bone tumors from pancreatic cancer, and liver diseases before
any change in blood serum bilirubin levels. Moderate rise in AP levels shown by this laboratory test may reflect acute biliary obstruction
from liver inflammation in active cirrhosis, mononucleosis, osteomalacia, deficiency-induced
rickets, and viral hepatitis. Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved. This material may not be reproduced in any medium, print or electronic without prior written permission from the author.Page 185Healing the Gerson Way—Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases

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

 had in the market were not asgood as desired, and he lost none of his pinky-pinkness of complexion of the richestScandinavian brilliancy. I have done the samefor four months with similar results of retentionof pinkness of complexion. Another question is :Does pinkness indicate health? It is not thenecessity of health among Latins and bronzedOrientals, but it underlies the bronze exterior ineven African Negroes, if they are healthy.Sallow is the reverse of healthy in proportion tothe sallowness, as a usual thing. Just here is where the efficacy of careful
eating, which has been formulated asFletcherism, comes into service most agreeablyto make life really worth living and actually onecontinuous festival of usefulness and pleasure.It is only once formed into a habit and set toworking automatically under the direction ofAppetite, Taste, Feeling, Instinct, and the otherattributes of sub-conscious Intelligence.It will be noted that Mr. Rockefeller, in his
recent pithy, gisty utterance relative to themerits of Fletcherizing, makes no mention ofthe kind of food to be recommended. Happily, asfar as I know, he is not in the food business, hasno connection with any special food supply, andcannot recommend any of the products ofpetroleum as food or drink. He should beabsolutely unprejudiced in his judgment, andseven or eight years of recuperative experience,similar to mine of a longer period, is materialfor judgment and recommendation. Some years ago there was born in me the
ambition to formulate the rules of economicprocedure in securing optimum nutrition in aspace of not more than ten pages of coarse printthat mothers, teachers, and children of primaryschool age could understand as easy as thenoses on their faces. Mr. Rockefeller has " beatme out " in brevity by several lengths. He hasmade the revelation with the lucky number ofthirty-three words, and left room for a finalremark full of scriptural tone, as is his wont.PROFITABLE  ECONOMY. There is one argument in favour of a
meatless diet that appeals to everybody, andthat is the economy and cleanliness of it. InProfessor Irving Fisher's classic investigation totest the merits of Fletcherism it was proventhat careful attention to the mastication,insalivation, and enjoyment of food while in themouth, and swallowing only in response to astrong invitation to swallow, and removing fromthe mouth whatever remainder that did notpractically swallow itself, a net gain of
approximately 40 per cent. was achievedwithout any attempt at economy. The savingwas in the money cost alone, and it came frommore and more inclination towards farinaceousand vegetable foods and away from moreexpensive meat. This form of saving is very telling. Dr.
Francis E. Clark, founder and permanentpresident of the great International ChristianEndeavour organization, noticed a reduction ofone third in the food expenses of his family. Thehealth officer of a suburb of Hamburgaccomplished a saving of two thousand marks a
year in his family of three without otherassistance than careful eating and aninclination towards non-flesh food material. The" Poor White Trash " community in America,before mentioned, saved an average of threedollars a month each, three thousand dollars amonth among a thousand members of thecommunity, and the missionary workers whotaught them to Fletcherize save half of the costof their sustenance. Accompanying all of thiswonderful economy was an immunity from theordinary illnesses that was worth more than themoney saving. In the Rockefeller family any decrease in the
cost of food is a negligible quantity incomparison with the total expenses, but sevenyears of immunity from indigestion andreplacing the demon with good golf-health formhave been worth more than millions of money.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        He was a medicalman, past forty, beginning to slack up a little inhis elasticity and strength. He was reachingthat age when even the most temperate andcareful begin to be a little lenient withthemselves. His doctor friends were in the habit
of prescribing a little stimulant to counter-balance this expected decline in energy and hetook their advice. It was the medical fad of theperiod. At first, Dr. Anderson ordered for himself one
small drink of good medicinal whisky a day, andthe effect was as expected. By and bye, however,a little more was needed, and this increasingdemand continued its insistence until threedrinks were no more efficacious than one hadbeen at first. When I was introduced to him hehad begun on his fourth drink daily, and yetburned it up in his exercise without feeling itmuch. A couple of weeks after he began to check up
my tests by personal experience, which is theonly scientific way, he all at once remembered,one day, that he had forgotten to take hiswhisky, and yet he was fitter than usual. I hadnot mentioned my own experience in this regardto him, I believe, as when we were together hekept me busy with the exercises of the ‘Varsitycrew, and I had little chance to give himaccounts of my full experiences. Besides, it didnot occur to me that it would interest him who
seemed to be moderation and temperancepersonified. And so he was, according to thescientific estimate of the time, but Nature hasanother standard of temperance, and under herstrict guidance very little but good spring wateris needed or desired. HOW TO ENJOY  WINE. To illustrate this and also suggest a way of
letting Mother Nature prove that I representher correctly in this important matter, I willgive an account of an actual happening. I was lecturing in Buffalo, New York, in
America, and was invited to address themembers of the sumptuous Buffalo Club. Idwelt especially on Fletcherizing as a means ofgetting the good and the best out of food anddrink, and yet for little cost, and at the close ofthe lecture a dozen or more of the audienceasked me to demonstrate my point as above. Iwas happy to do this, and called for a pint of thechoicest still wine, with cordial glasses. Therequest caused a smile among some of my hosts
who were proud of being " one bottle " consumers. When the wine came I poured out half a
cordial glass as the portion I selected for myselfand recommended the same prescription for theothers, as a " starter. " Then I breathed andsipped my delicious grape-juice, as I hadlearned to do from the professional wine-tasterson the Rhine, in Germany, and in the Burgundyregion, in France. The others did the same, andseemed to get unusual satisfaction from boththe boquet and the taste. What happens is this : You sense the wine by
means of the olfactories as you would breathe inthe odour of a delicately perfumed flower. Tasteis excited and becomes jealous of Smell. Yougive Taste a taste. Something more subtle thantaste ; a sort of aroma, so to speak, spreads overthe head. You feel the taste of the delicacy uparound the temples, and the sensation isdelightful in the extreme, fading slowly awaybut leaving a lovely memory impression. Then you take another sip, and the sensation
is about the same, and so on for a sip or twomore, when the supremest delicacy of the wineceases to express itself. Two or three sips more,and the wine no longer tastes good. Carriedfurther, in this appetite-respecting manner,
there will be a desire to spit out the sips, andthere is no temptation to drink them. Professional wine-tasters are supposed never
to drink wine. After tasting it they spit out the
remnant from which the taste has beenexhausted. Tea tasters and beer tasters andspecial food tasters do the same in order topreserve their keen taste discrimination. Thereis just as definite Swallowing Sense andExpectorating Sense as there is Taste Sense. There is just as strong Appetite Sense forproteid, when the body is short of it, as there isthirst-demand for water for the rehydration ofthe body. The Senses have sense. Returning to the Buffalo Club experiment in
demonstrating Epicurean Temperance : Thehalf-bottle of wine gave more satisfaction to thedozen or more members of the Club whoparticipated in the experiment than any of themknew was possible. FLETCHERISM  AS A CURE FOR MORBID  CRAVINGS. It is not necessary to supply expensive wine
for the complete satisfaction of the most delicateepicureanism if Fletcherizing is employed as an
habitual cream-separating means. The cream ofcommon wheat bread, and of anything that thenormalized appetite favours, is as satisfyingwhen the body is in need of what it contains asare drops of the most costly Johannisberger ofthe rarest vintages, and nothing but waterthoroughly quenches real thirst. The " testimonials " of one sort and another,
including letters and verbal account, attestingto the effect of natural eating on abnormaldesires or cravings, number thousands. Thereform has not been the result of suggestion,although in some cases suggestion has assistedthe cure of intemperate yearnings. Not alonehas craving for alcoholic stimulant been abated,but in other ways morbidity has been corrected,and I as well as some medical men I know, havereceived grateful acknowledgment of thehappiness secured by the natural sloughing offof weaknesses or passions which had been asource of self


kidney
had
gone. Aunt
feels
fine,
only
the
kidney,
which
was
operated
on,
makes
her
angry
at
times. 'Comment
and
recommendation:
A
large
number
of
stones
in
the
kidneys
testify
to
the
infectious
processes
that
are
the
cause
of
their
formation. It
is
usually
an
infection
that
entered
the
kidneys
from
the
large
intestine. Therefore,
it
is
first
necessary
to
adjust
the
diet
and
clean
the
intestine. The
miraculous
effects
of
children's
urine
are
explained
not
so
much
by
its
soluble
abilities
as
by
its
extraordinary
immune
properties. Additional
immunization
(strengthening
of
the
body's
defenses)
helped
eliminate
the
infection
in
the
kidneys
and
the
formation
of
stones. The
pre-existing
stones
then
dissolved
on
their
own. But
what
about
a
sore
operated
kidney:
First,
apply
compresses
with
quarter
urine
to
the
area
of
  the
operated
kidney,
second,
do
short-term
fasting
about
water
and
urine
more
often
(3-7
days),
third,
get
your
diet
in
order
(mainly
switch
to
separate
food)
and
prepare
everything
with
the
help
of
melt
water. Example:
"I
want
to
tell
you
a
case
of
my
own
healing
with
the
help
of
urine
therapy. The
function
of
my
kidneys,
bladder
and
ureters
gradually
deteriorated. How
did
I
figure
it
out? First,
the
urine
started
to
turn
red
when
drinking
beetroot
juice
(even
mixed
with
apple
juice). Not
always. Then
it
gradually
became
more
and
more
turbid,
it
smelled
of
ingested
food
(e.g. buckwheat). The
amount
of
fluid
excreted
in
the
urine
decreased. I
often
had
discomfort
when
urinating. The
clairvoyant
gave
me
the
diagnosis:
a
tumor
in
the
bladder,
sand
in
the
kidneys,
a
stone
in
the
right
kidney. In
winter,
when
the
activity
of
the
kidneys
is
particularly
strong,
I
starved
for
23
days. I
regularly
drank
all
the
urine
and
did
mini-enemas
with
the
urine
evaporated
to
one-half
to
one-third. In
addition,
daily
hot
baths
and
steam
three
times
a
week. Due
to
the
influence
of
all
these
means,
the
kidneys
and
the
entire
urinary
system
were
powerfully
cleansed
and
their
functions
were
restored. The
urine
became
a
crystal
clear
healing
liquid. Up
to
1
liter
of
urine
is
excreted
at
once,
so
the
activity
of
the
bladder
has
been
fully
restored
and
the
tumor
has
disappeared. I
no
longer
have
discomfort
when
urinating. The
pain
in
the
lower
back
disappeared,
all
the
vertebrae
returned
to
their
places,
the
function
of
the
intervertebral
discs
was
restored. The
body
now
produces
more

better,
gains
weight
quickly.' Urinotherapy
and
liver
diseases
In
Ayurvedic
medicine,
urine
was
considered
a
remedy
for
the
most
serious
diseases,
especially
liver
diseases. We
already
know
why
it
was
so
from
what
we
read. The
best
methodology
for
treating
the
liver
is
as
follows:
Drink
50-100
grams
of
urine
2-4
times
a
day,
make
compresses
on
the
area
of
  the
liver
at
night
with
the
help
of
a
woolen
cloth
soaked
in
quarter
urine. As
a
supplement,
it
is
necessary
to
drink
a
strong
decoction
of
rosehips. If
there
are
no
rosehips,
just
drink
hot
boiled
water. For
example,
with
obstruction
of
the
bile
ducts,
bile
is
secreted
by
the
liver,
but
cannot
reach
the
intestines
due
to
blocked
bile
ducts,
so
it
goes
into
the
blood
and
then
into
the
urine. At
the
same
time,
a
person
feels
pain,
weakness,
wants
to
vomit,
etc. Due
to
the
lack
of
bile
in
the
digestive
tract,
fats
and
proteins
cannot
be
fully
digested. Doctors
prescribe
pills
to
compensate
for
the
lack
of
bile. At
the
same
time,
all
these
substances
are
in
the
urine. Bile
and
enzymes
from
the
liver
that
are
contained
in
the
urine
can
to
circulate
repeatedly
and
not
get
lost. Therefore,
the
return
intake
of
urine
helps
both
digestion
and
normalization
of
liver
functions
thanks
to
the
homeopathic
principle
and
flushing
of
the
bile
ducts. Hepatitis
is
inflammation
of
the
liver
of
viral
or
bacterial
origin. Example:
“I
have
been
drinking
urine
every
morning
for
over
a
year
and
three
months
and
doing
massage
with
steamed
urine. The
results
are
positive,
angina
and
colds
have
stopped
bothering
me,
I
sleep
like
a
baby,
I
work
all
day
at
the
cottage
without
fatigue,
osteochondrosis
makes
me
less
angry,
the
liver
is
normal. I
had
cleansed
my
liver
three
times
before,
which
came
out
with
a
lot
of
black
bile
and
softened
stones. And
even
before
that,
Iwas
treated
by
a
doctor
for
my
liver,
from
which
16
large
stones
and
a
whole
glass
of
small
stones
came
out. Comment
and
recommendation:
After
cleansing
the
liver,
the
diet
was
not
changed,
so
the
stones
continued
to
grow. The
urine
diluted
the
bile
and
improved
the
liver,
but
it
is
necessary
to
change
the
diet
and
follow
the
diet. Example:
"Through
urine
therapy
and
one-day
fasting
every
week,
I
cleansed
my
intestines
and
liver
and
subsequently
got
rid
of
depression
and
severe
hypertensive
crises,
which
mostly
came
between
3
and
5
in
the
morning. I
also
cured
my
hepatitis. I
practice
a
separate
diet
and
I
got
rid
of
constant
bloating
in
the
intestine.' Urinotherapy
and
diabetes
Urina
copes
well
with
this
ailment. In
this
case,
it
is
recommended
to
drink
50-100
grams
of
urine
2-3
times
a
day,
to
cleanse
the
intestines
and

powerful ef fects at high altitudes of 17,000 feet. The technique not only significantly reduced
blood pressure but also boosted oxygen saturation in the blood. Grzegorz Bilo et al., “Ef fects of

to be about 13 times a minute for a total of 5.25 liters of air. By the 1940s, the rate of breathing
hovered a bit over 10 breaths a minute for a total of 8 liters. By the 1980s and 1990s, several
studies placed the mean breathing rate at closer to 10 to 12 breaths per minute, with a total
volume, in some cases, that rose to 9 liters and higher. I discussed this with Dr. Don Storey, a
prominent pulmonologist who’d worked in the field for more than 40 years (and who is my
father -in-law). He told me that when he was first starting out, the normal respiratory rate was
about 8 to 12 breaths a minute. The high end of that rate is nearly doubled today. Beyond the
anecdotes, dozens of studies suggest we could indeed be breathing more than we used to. Most
studies compare subjects with respiratory illnesses against healthy controls. It’ s the data from
the healthy controls that was used for this assessment. Several studies were discovered in
Artour Rakhimov’ s book Br eathing Slower and Less: The Gr eatest Health Discovery Ever
(self-published, 2014). Those studies that could be independently verified were included. I will
continue to gather research in this area and post on my website— mrjamesnestor.com/breath. In

rate at a much higher rate of 22,636 breaths a day. “ s t a r t  e x t e n d i n g  y o u r  e x h a l e s ” :  This kind of long inhale and exhale isn’ t possible for very high intensity
exercise. Running 400 meters, for instance, would require much more oxygen to keep up with
metabolic needs. (Endurance athletes can breathe 200 liters of breath per minute during
moments of extreme stress—that’ s up to 20 times what’ s considered a normal resting volume.) But for steady, medium-level exercise like this, long breaths are far more ef ficient. Maurizio
