When I began to take urine I had bronchitis.
I was taking medicine for the thyroids and also antibiotic for my other problems.,
I followed with the urine.
Soon the moment arrived that the drugs made me sick.
Little by little I was leaving the medicine, I did not have further indications of
problems, nor did I have need to go to the Doctors conference.
After 3 months in 1997, arrived in my hands a report that I was cured from my
problems. It was when I began with my urine fasts.
Later I had the opportunity to go to a conference. I am cured of the thyroids and I
no longer have the ball in the neck, or feel very depressed.
No longer volumes of medicines and the cyst in the bust disappeared.
The varicose veins in the legs are gone. Already I can see without glasses.
I want aff the people to know of this wise knowledge so that all people will be

I am 50 years of age, and I had 5 children.
I was born here in Guadalajara, JaUsco, Mexico and later moved to
Veracruz, Mexico. From youth I suffered of low pressure.
There were occasions in which I had only up to 60.
It later raised and now it gets up to a 180*120.
In November of 94, 1 began to have my feet fa11 asleep.
Soon the legs and finally it advanced that my whole body was asleep without
movement and the body was very swollen. I was in bed almost a year.
The Doctors diagnosed me with Diabetic Neuropathy.
They filled me full of medicines.
I took from 8 to 10 tablets daily. With a lot of work and pain I began to move.
My sister visited me at my house from Vera Cruz with her husband and their
family.
When they arrived at my house they gave me news that God Our Father,
by means of Urine, was healing sick incurables
We invited another diabetic brother who lives in Orizaba and they taught us the

Soon I began the process of urine therapy, offering to God and the sacrifice to
Our Jesus Christ.
68 In addition we made the decision to come to Guadalajara to listen to a
conference. This was to learn better methods of this therapy to take back to
Veracruz. For 3 weeks I took the urine and I continued taking the medicine.
I felt high pressure and one day I was feeling so bad that it could not move.
~ stopped the medicine and on the foUowing day l felt in a perfect state of health.
I forgot that I stopped the medicine. One hour later I got a strong heart beat and

She got worse and the drugs did not convince me she would get better. ·
My Daughter was very anemic.
My husband and I then decided to give her urine each month.
We did the procedure for her each month and the pediatric Doctor was very
astonished to see that the girl was better than a person that had ever been ill.
So on every month I do the procedure to her and she no longer has infections.
During the infection in an entire year she only gained 1 kg.

cipally images from nature, but including the yin and yang sym-
bol—became globally accepted archetypes long before myself and
others began teaching out the esoteric practices. The Chinese form
a quarter of the world's population, and our civilization has been
around for the last 5000 years, so our basic teaching models are
already well known throughout the world.
Perhaps most important is the fact that the esoteric yogic
practices of the Taoists were not buried in the rituals or lost on the
changing doctrines of religion. They were kept secret and passed
on orally for many thousands of years, and when they were finally
written down beginning in the second century A.D. they were dis-
guised with arcane poetry to prevent the uninitiated or unvirtuous
from learning the meditative practices. But much of this esoteric
knowledge was preserved and further developed by Taoist acu-
puncturists and herbologists, which helped to keep the mystical
teachings practical and grounded in using the chi energy to heal
bodily functions. Another example of this is the Taoist art of Tai
Chi Chuan, a wonderfully multifaceted form that is simultaneously
a means of self-defense, a playful dance, a metaphysical meditation
on yin and yang, a physically healing exercise, and a ritual invoca-
tion of the cardinal energies that can be experienced by anyone
watching a master perform.
The actual Taoist practices themselves are as simple to under-
stand as the sun and the moon, because the ancient Taoists used
the natural elements of the universe as their teacher. They watched
the way plants and animals lived and died, how the weather
effected their own metabolism, and how their subtle energies var-
ied with the seasons, the earth's tilt toward the sun and stars, and
the phases of the moon. Before language was even invented the
sages observed the balance of forces in nature and then found that
same harmony within themselves. Life is simple and natural if you
keep it that way. No extraneous cultural images or religious con-
cepts are needed to decorate the original and natural vision of the
Tao as harmonious nature.
Anybody familiar with the qualities of water, fire, metal,
earth, and wood—the primal elements—and has lived through the
four seasons of the year—spring, summer, fall, and winter—is a
candidate for beginning the Taoist practices. For example, to bal-
ance the sexual relationship you basically need to know that60 Taoist Secrets Of Love
woman is water and has the power to regulate man, who is fire. On
a deeper level you would discover that man has both fire and water
in his body and can achieve a perfect internal balance by harmoniz-
ing his fire (thinking mind) with his own water (sperm fluid, or
sexual "waters").
These symbols of fire and water, often expressed as yin and
yang are simple to identify with and work with once you are given
the specific details of what to do—how to hold your seed in, how to
move your energy in psychic channels, and exchange it with the
woman, etc. Of course, the experience of more subtle levels of chi
energy takes time and cultivation of physical and mental purity.
Thats why practice of tai chi, chi kung, meditation, and virtuous
living enhance the speed with you gain clarity, and thus compli-
ment the sexual practices.
KAREZZA AND COITUS RESERVATUS
There are other methods of sexual intercourse which should not be
confused with the Taoist practice. Most widely known is the simple
act of coitus reservatus, which is making love without orgasm.
While this conserves the valuable male seed, it does not teach how
to circulate the sexual energy upward or store it in the body's
higher centers so it can be exchanged with the woman or put to
other creative use. Coitus reservatus can also create severe pres-
sure on the prostate gland and lead to its eventual malfunction
since the orgasmic tension in the prostate is never released in-
wardly (as in Taoist sex) or outwardly through ejaculation. I specif-
ically recommend that you avoid coitus reservatus for this rea-
son—too much heat builds up in the genital area without any means
to cool it.
Karezza is a love-making technique said to have originated in
Persia. It involves long periods of passive sexual intercourse—
lying still for half an hour or more while waiting for the male and
female energies to build up. The Taoist method differs in that it
encourages as much loving physical movement that the couple can
handle without genital orgasm. This dynamic aspect of sex is nor-
mally important to westerners raised on a romantic role model of
passionate love. To a Taoist, movement is life, whether in the
physical body or in the subtle energy, and should be thoroughly
enjoyed for the good health it brings. Karezza also fails to provideSex In the Esoteric Traditions 61
a method for transforming the sexual energy upward into a tran-
scendent internal orgasm, and is satisfied with simply increasing
and prolonging physical pleasure. It was originally intended to help
any royal male survive a long night of love-making with his harem.
Later it was popularized in America in the Utopian Oneida colony
in 1866 as a form of mandatory birth control. Certainly it is an
improvement over hasty ejaculatory sex, but ultimately lacks true
depth.PART II
TAOIST PRACTICES FOR
MASTERING SEXUAL LOVECHAPTER 6
THE DANCE OF THE TESTES:
EXERCISES FOR PELVIC STRENGTH
"If a man has intercourse once without spilling his seed, his vital
essence is strengthened. If he does this twice, his hearing and
vision are made clear. If three times, all his physical illness will
disappear. The fourth time he will begin to feel inner peace. The
fifth time his blood will circulate powerfully. The sixth time his
genitals will gain new prowess. By the seventh his thighs and but-
tocks will become firm. The eighth time his entire body will radiate
good health. The ninth time his lifespan will be increased."
—from the Canon of Taoist Wisdom collected by Emperor Tang
All of us are familiar with the shoot-out scene in which someone in
danger pulls a gun which doesn't fire. If it's a good guy, he usually
finds some heroic way out of his predicament. But when the
"weapon" is the male penis, a "misfire"—a failure to erect—is a
fiasco for the simple reason that no heroic alternative is easily
found. Repeated and chronic misfire is impotence, the incarnation
of male misery and the ruin of many relationships. In this chapter
we study two excellent pelvic diaphragm exercises that build your
urogenital and anus ring muscles and thus greatly strengthens your
control of your erection and reduce the likelihood of misfire. Care-
ful practice of these exercises will also prepare you for learning to
retain the vital seed during intercourse.66 Taoist Secrets Of Love
America is presently exercise-crazy. Yet, except for sexual
activity, few exercises strengthen the crucial pelvic muscles. There
exist pelvic exercises which greatly strengthen the reproductive
organs and the complex network of tendons surrounding them.
Strength in this department is of inestimable importance—it is the
root of man's health. Leading into the pelvis are a vast number of
nerve endings, and channels for your veins and arteries. Here ter-
minate tissues communicating with every square inch of the body.
All of the major acupuncture meridians carrying chi between the
vital organs pass by this area. If it is blocked or weak, energy will
dissipate and the organs and brain will suffer. This is what happens
to most men in old age—their rectal and pelvic muscles become
loose and their vital chi energy slowly drains out, leaving them
weak and feeble.
It is important to remember that the foundation of penis
strength is seminal retention. Without this nothing permanent may
be accomplished, even with exercise. Spending the semen brings
about premature impotence and decay. No one, no matter how
strong or brutish, can ejaculate often without ultimately paying a
stiff price. These exercises massage and stimulate the pelvic re-
gion. Life energy is driven down into the testes, filling them with
extraordinary vitality. These exercises, combined with the "Big
Draw" method of semen retention in Chapter Seven, will allow
you to create a permanent store of sexual essence in your body.
Only then can you begin to refine it into a higher state and combine
it with your chi and spirit to regain wholeness.
THE PELVIC AND UROGENITAL DIAPHRAGMS
The body possesses not one but several diaphragms. Everyone is
familiar with the thoracic diaphragm in the chest that causes it to
expand on inhalation. Lesser known is the pelvic diaphragm and
the urogenital diaphragm which separates the pelvis from the per-
ineum. To practice Sexual Kung Fu properly you must use not only
the chest diaphragm but also the pelvic one. Real deep breathing
issues from this lower diaphragm. They are exceedingly important
in transmitting energy during love-making in the Taoist practice of
dual cultivation.
The pelvic diaphragm is a muscular wall that extends across
the lower part of the torso. It is suspended concavely downwardThe Dance Of The Testes 67

Recently I attended a talk by my friend, colleague, and mentor Ram Dass,
who had a stroke in 1997 that impacted his speech. As of this writing, he
still spends almost all of his waking moments in a wheelchair, and his
lecture lasted approximately 45 minutes. He received a standing ovation at
the end, and I personally felt so blessed and blissful by having been in the
audience. There  are some who might have only seen superfi cialities—to
them, the lecture might have seemed halting and slow because of the stroke,
and judged as embarrassing or even intellectually challenging. Much of my
dear friend’ s time onstage was silent, and it certainly appeared to be
awkward in comparison to his earlier speeches, which were always
masterful and eloquent. But as I sit here writin g, I can only say that because
I changed the way I looked at this experience, the entire thing changed for
me in a very dramatic way.
While Ram Dass’ s words were few, his message was straightforward,
laconic, and direct. What might have appeared as unintelligible to others
struck me as brilliance masked by circumstance. What could have been
viewed as fumb ling was articulate and perfect in every way. I heard a great
presentation to a loving, receptive crowd that was done largely between
long periods of luscious silence. Through out this lecture, all of the audience
members and I 45th Verse remained still and tranquil. As Lao-tzu concludes
in this 45th verse of the Tao Te Ching, it “set things in order in [our]
universe.”
I can feel the presence of Lao-tzu here this morning as I gaze at the
drawing of that beautiful old man sitting on an ox. He seems to be urging
me on to tell you how to apply this great wisdom, which comes from living
beyond shallowness:
See imperfections as perfect, even if your ego-mind cannot compr ehend
this.Become aware of your conditioned responses that lead you to label
people, places, and circumstances as less than perfect. See the flawlessness
behind the supposed defects. As I watched my children grow up, for
instance, there were many times when their challenging behavior at a
certain age was really a kind of brilliance. For example, I observed them
refusing to eat certain nutritious foods, knowing that they needed to go
through these phases in order to reach higher places. An adamant refusal to
eat vege tables isn’t stupid or twisted thinking—it was perfect and necessary
for them at the time. You can apply this same kind of patient stillness to
your world. Inch by inch, we evolve as a people toward a fuller  union with
the T ao.
One of history’ s great mystical thinkers, Meister Eckhart, poetic ally put it
this way several centuries ago:
Every object, every cr eatur e, every man, woman and child has a soul and it
is the destiny of all,

to see as God sees, to know as God knows,
to feel as God feels, to Be
as God
Is.
Give yourself permission to be perfect, even with
all of your seeming imperfections.
Recognize yourself first and foremost as a creation of God, which is your
perfection. It has nothing to do with how you look or any so-called mistakes
or failures you may have attracted to yourself, even though these
superficialities will continue throughout your entire lifetime in this body.
The Source of your material self, the eternal Tao, is flawless, straight, full,
and an expressi on of truth. When those ways that you’ve been  taught are
imperfect appear and you notice the pain you’re causing yourself by
disliking or judging them, call in your Tao-perfect self to tend to the so-
called faults. When you surround it with love, the superficial appearance
and feeling of being unloved will become tranquil.The 13th-century mystical poet Rumi sums this up perfectly in this short
observation:
You are the truth
from foot to br ow. Now,
what else would you like to know?
Do the T ao Now
Make a list of ten things you’ve labeled as imperfect, twisted, or stupid.
Then take one at a time and elicit the feeling in your body that’s attached to
that item. Allow the sensation to be observed and to be held in your
thoughts from a perspective of loving permission. Do this for as long as
you’re comfortable, allowing the “Tao now!” to be present. Remember as
you do this exercise that the Tao is nonjudgmental and provides equall y to
all. You can take the sunshine and bask in it, or you can burn yourself to a
crisp. The T ao just is, and it doesn’ t care!

OceanofPDF.comLiving Peacefully
If you’re presently evaluating your level of achievement based on how
much you’ve accumulated, prepare to sense a major shift in your state of
personal satisfaction and conten tment. Verse 46 of the Tao Te Ching invites
you to discover a more peaceful and self-satisfying way of knowing success
—and as your determination to acquire more begins to weaken, your new
views will change the world you’ve known. You’ll find that the experience
of inner peace becomes your true gauge of accomplishment.
This 46th verse begins with a look at what happens when a planet loses its
connection to the W ay. Countries begin needing to conqu er more territory..
. and in their quest for more land, power, and control over other s, they must
constantly prepare for war. Lao-tzu speaks symbolically of horses here:
When connected to the Tao, the animals fertilize the fields; when
disconnected from it, the beautiful creatures are bred for war.
In a modern translation of the Tao Te Ching, my friend Stephen Mitchell
interprets this message in present-day terms:
When a country is in harmony with the T ao,
the factories make trucks and tractors.
When a country goes counter to the T ao,
warheads ar e stockpiled outside the cities.
It’s painfully obvious that our world has largely lost contact with the Way
as descr ibed by Lao-tzu. These days so much of our energy is placed on
breeding warhorses at the expense of using our resources to fertilize our
fields so that we can live in peace. The United States is chock-full of
weapons of mass destruction, and we continually legislate more funding to
make our weapons so menacing that they’re capable of rendering our entire
planet uninhabitable. The “disease of more” has created an environment
that personifies Lao-tzu’ s observ ation that there is “no greater tragedy than
discontentment.” But even if so many of our Divine selves seem to be
engulfed by the flames of unease, you can begin the process of putting Lao-
tzu’s advice to work.When you truly understand what it means to live peacefully, satisfaction
will begin to replace your desire for more. Your world will begin to become
tranquil as you change your own life and then touch the lives of your
immediate family, your neighbors, your coworkers, and ultimately your
nation and the entire planet. Begin by simply thinking of the opening line of
the famous Prayer of Saint Francis when you notice that you’re demanding
more of anything.
Silently say, Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace; wher e there is
hatred, let me sow love. As that instrument of peace, you’ll radiate
tranquility to those in your immediate surroundings, and you’ll feel the
flicker of a new and different success in contentment, perhaps for the first
time in your life. By refusing to lose the Tao, regardless of how lost others
are and what our world’ s governments elect to do, you’re living
harmoniously. Your connection to the Tao will make a difference, gradually
inching Earth away from the precipice of discontentment that Lao-tzu
called “no greater tragedy.”
The sublime Hafiz beautifully sums up the kind of success I’m referring
to in his poem “W ould Y ou Think it Odd?”:
Would you think it odd if Hafiz said,
“I am in love with every chur ch
And mosque
And temple
And any kind of shrine
Because I know it is ther e
That people say the differ ent names
Of the One God.”
Getting back to Lao-tzu, here are his messages from the powerful 46th
verse that are applicable today in your personal life:
Practice gratitude and contentment every day.
When your feet hit the floor every single morning,


 is the very door to the
reality of that which you seek. But use imagination masterfully and not as an onlooker thinking of the end,
but as a partaker thinking from the end.]  Imagine that you possess a quality or something you desire which
hitherto  has not  been  yours.  Surrender  yourself  completely  to  this  feeling  until  your  whole  being  is
possessed by it. This state differs from reverie in this respect : it is the result of a controlled imagination
and a steadied,  concentrated  attention,  whereas  reverie  is  the  result  of  an  uncontrolled  imagination
usually just a daydream.  In the controlled state, a minimum of effort suffices to keep your consciousness
filled with the feeling of the wish fulfilled. The physical and mental immobility of this state is a powerful
aid to voluntary attention and a major factor of minimum effort.
The application of these three points:

2. Physical immobility
3. The assumption of the wish already fulfilled
is the way to at-one-ment or union with your objective. [The first point is thinking of the end, with intention
to realize it. The third point is thinking from the end with the feeling of accomplishment. The secret of
thinking from the end is to enjoy being it. The minute you make it pleasurable and imagine that you are it,
you start thinking from the end.]
One of the most prevalent misunderstandings is that this law works only for those having a devout or a
religious objective. This is a fallacy. It works just as impersonally as the law of electricity works. It can be
used for greedy, selfish purposes as well as noble ones. But it should always be borne in mind that ignoble
thoughts and actions inevitably result in unhappy consequences.

                              RIGHTEOUSNESS
IN THE preceding chapter righteousness was defined as the consciousness of already being what you want
to be. This is the true psychological meaning and obviously does not refer to adherence to moral codes,
civil law, or religious precepts. You cannot attach too much importance to being righteous In fact, the
entire Bible is permeated with admonition and exhortations on this subject.
Break off thy sins by righteousness. Dan. 4:27
My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live. Job Zi.
0
My righteousness shall answer for me in time to come.       Genesis 30:33
Very often the words sin and righteousness are used m the same quotation. This is a logical contrast of
opposites and becomes enormously significant m the light of the psychological meaning of righteousness
and the psychological meaning of sin Sm means to miss the mark. Not to attain your desire, not to be the
person you want to be, is sinning. Righteousness is the consciousness of already being what you want to be.
It is a changeless educative law that effects must follow causes. Only by righteousness can you be saved
from sinning
There is a widespread misunderstanding as to what It means to be "saved from sin." The following example
will suffice to demonstrate this misunderstanding and to establish the truth. A person living m abject
poverty may believe that by means of some religious or philosophical activity he can be saved from sin"
and his life improved as a result If however, he continues to live in the same state of poverty, it is obvious
that what he believed was not the truth, and, in fact, he was not "saved " On the other hand, he can be saved
by righteousness. The successful use of the law of assumption would have the inevitable result of an actual
change in his life. He would no longer live in poverty. He would no longer miss the mark. He would be
saved from sin.
Except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise
enter into the kingdom of heaven.       Matt. 5:20
Scribes and Pharisees means those who are influenced and governed by the outer appearances the rules and
customs of the society in which they live, the vain desire to be thought well of by other men. Unless this
state of mind is exceeded, your life will be one of limitation of failure to attain your desires of missing the
mark of sin. This righteousness is exceeded by true righteousness, which is always the consciousness of
already being that which you want to be.
One of the greatest pitfalls in attempting to use the law of assumption is focusing your attention on things,
on a new home, a better job, a bigger bank balance. This is not the righteousness without which you "die in
your sins." Righteousness is not the thing itself; it is the consciousness, the feeling of already being the
person you want to be, of already having the thing you desire.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

                                    FREE WILL
THE QUESTION is often asked, "What should be done between the assumption of the wish fulfilled and
its realization?" Nothing. It is a delusion that, other than assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you can
do anything to aid the realization of your desire. You think that you can do something, you want to do
something; but actually you can do nothing. The illusion of the free will to do is but ignorance of the law of
assumption upon which all action is based. Everything happens automatically. All that befalls you, all that
is done by you -happens. Your assumptions, conscious or unconscious, direct all thought and action to their
fulfilment To understand the law of assumption, to be convinced of its truth, means getting rid of all the
illusions about free will to act. Free will actually means freedom to select any idea you desire. By assuming
the idea already to be a fact, it is converted into reality. Beyond that, free will ends, and everything happens
in harmony with the concept assumed.
I can of mine own self do nothing... because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which
hath sent me.
In this quotation the Father obviously refers to God. In an earlier chapter, God is defined as I AM. Since
creation is finished, the Father is never in a position of saying "I will be. " In other words, everything
exists, and the infinite I AM consciousness can speak only in the present tense.
Not my will but thine be done.
"I will be" is a confession that "I am not " The Father's will is always "I AM." Until you realize that YOU
are the Father (there is only one I AM and your infinite self is that I AM), your will is always
“I will be.”
In the law of assumption your consciousness of being is the Father's will. The mere wish without this
consciousness is the "my will." This great quotation, so little understood, is a perfect statement of the
law of assumption.
It is impossible to do anything. You must be in order to do.
If you  had a different concept of yourself, everything  would be different. You are what you  are, so
everything is as it is. The events which you observe are determined by the concept you have of yourself. If
you change your concept of yourself, the events ahead of you in time are altered, but, thus altered, they
form again a deterministic sequence starting from the moment of this changed concept. You are a being
with powers of intervention,  which enable you,  by a change of consciousness, to alter the course of
observed events in fact, to change your future.
Deny the evidence of the senses, and assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Inasmuch as your assumption
is creative and forms an atmosphere, your assumption, if it be a noble one, increases your assurance and
helps you to reach a higher level of being. If, on the other hand, your assumption be an unlovely one, it
hinders you and makes your downward way swifter. Just as the lovely assumptions create a harmonious
atmosphere, so the hard and bitter feelings create a hard and bitter atmosphere.
Whatsoever things are pure, just, lovely, of good report, think on these things.

 ﬁfty-fold increased risk of
suffering a fatal asthma attack.
On 23 January, 2003 the FDA in the US announced: “The drug Serevent may be associated with an increased risk of life-threatening
asthma episodes or asthma related deaths, particularly in some patients.”
On 14 August 2003 a Reuters newsagency headline read: “New warnings added to Glaxo Asthma Drugs” and the report read:
“Serevent and Advair will carry new warnings about a higher, though small, risk of life-threatening asthma attacks and deaths, U.S.
regulators said.”
More recently (8 March 2006) a Fox News release carried this headlin e: New labels on asthma drugs Advair and Serevent warn
patients that the drugs "may increase the risk of asthma-related death."
More “benign” side effects of inhaled bronchodilators include: palpitations, rapid heart beat, nervousness, light-headedness, dizziness
and tremors. Inhaled steroids can also cause yeast infections (which are a main cause of asthma). There are numerous other
potential side ef fects with the inhalers.
The World Today on 13 April 2004 reports on research from the US, which suggests one of the best-known treatments for asthma,
Ventolin, may in fact make the condition worse.
None of the medical asthma drugs in any way stops or improves the underlying disease process. It is also well known that the regular
use of steroid inhalers makes it more difﬁcult for the body to ﬁght infections.
A large trial of asthmatic children with inhaled corticosteroids for up to six years showed that trying to suppress the inﬂammation did
not slow the deterioration of the airway walls, which became thicker, stiffer and less easy to dilate with reduced lung function (The
C.A.M.P. Group. N Engl J of Medicine 2000; 343:1054-1063).
In addition, NSAIDs also suppress bone repair and remodeling. Studies showed that these drugs signiﬁcantly inhibited matrix
synthesis and had toxic ef fects on cartilage metabolism. The more "puf fs" taken each day, the greater the rate of bone loss.
In May 2006 it was conﬁrmed that high rates of inhaled corticosteroids not only increase the rate of fractures but also trigger atrial
ﬁbrillation (AF), the most common type of abnormal heart rhythm, or arrhythmia. This sharply increases the risk of heart failure and
stroke.
Finally, in the latest analysis at Cornell and Stanford universities on 33,826 patients up to 80 percent of asthma-related deaths in the
US have been attributed to asthma inhalers with long-acting beta-agonists (Salpeter S. et al in Annals of Internal Medicine July 4,
2006). The researchers say although these medications relieve asthma symptoms, they also promote bronchial inﬂammation and
sensitivity reactions without warning.
I can immediately think of an easy way to prevent most asthma deaths. My take on all of this is that medical asthma treatment is not
just inef fective but highly dangerous. Fortunately there are better options as will be shown in the following chapters.
2. CONTRIBUTING F ACTORS AND TRIGGERS
A website of the Australian Governm ent states “The cause of asthma is not known, but there is evidence that many factors play a
part”, and then goes on to list the following causes:
•  Genetic factors: asthma tends to run in families, and many people with asthma also have other allergic conditions.
•  Environmental factors: in wealthy, hygienic W estern countries most babies are not exposed to bacterial infections that "kick
•  start" the immune system in early life and direct the immune system away from allergic responses. This makes them allergic to
   house dust mites, tobacco smoke, animals, pollens moulds and dust.10/30/24, 3:31 PM Health-Science-Spirit - Truth about Asthma
https://health-science-spirit.com/Diseases/Asthma.html 2/10•  Dietary changes: changes in diet in W estern countries, such as a high proportion of processed foods, a higher salt intake, a
   lower antioxidant intake and a lack of fresh oily ﬁsh.
•  Lack of exercise: spending more time inside in front of the television means that children get far less exercise.
•  Occupational exposure: in adults, asthma can develop in response to irritants in the workplace - chemicals, dusts, gases, molds
   and pollens.
Basically this just conﬁrms that they do not have a clue, because most of the listed items are triggers of asthma attacks, or
contributing factors, and not the underlying causes. Not one of these listed causes has changed so drastically in recent years to
explain a doubling of asthma rates within 10 years.
A still controversial medical favorite is the hygiene hypothesis. It postulates that exposure to dirt, bacteria, viral infections or
endotoxins (internally produced microbial toxins) in early childhood act as natural vaccines that boost our immune system and protect
us against the development of asthma.
For instance in one recent study 1314 children were followed from birth to 7 years, and the number and type of infections recorded.
Children who had two or more mild upper respiratory tract infections, such as rhinitis (running nose) per year had the asthma risk
reduced from 6.3% to 3.2% at age 7.
However, another headline of a New Scientist article seems to say the opposite: “Severe asthma linked to common cold.” Colds are
the most important trigger of acute asthma, at least 80% of children with deterioration in their asthma or asthma attacks have a cold
that is the cause of that, and probably somewhere between 50% and 60% of adults. Later I will show how we can understand these
contradictions.
Also children with farm animals, dogs or cats were nearly 50% less likely to develop frequent wheezing. However if one of the parent
had asthma then there was no protective ef fect.
But pets are also a common trigger of asthma. Just touching and stroking an animal, or being in the same room as a pet or where
that pet has been, can trigger an attack. The cause is the animal’ s dander (skin scales or ﬂakes from the fur or feathers), or their
saliva or urine. Dander can ﬂoat in the air and settle on surfaces around the home. Even animals kept outside, such as horses, goats,
cows, chickens and ducks, can trigger a reaction.
Another study showed that the more bacteria there were in house dust the more babies were protected from developing allergies and
asthma. However, after children have already allergies and asthma higher exposure means more disease.
The explanation put forward is that exposure to certain types of infectious agents and endotoxins is essential for maturation of the
immune system, and that less exposure leads to an imbalance in immune responses.
Diet
There is also overwhelming evidence that asthma is closely connected with lifestyle, and especially diet. This is strongly suggested
by the fact that asthma is very comm on in Western industrialized countries but rare in poorer Asian and African countries. However,
when these poorer populations exchange their traditional foods for W estern food then asthma rates begin to climb.
For example asthma was unknown in Kuwait until they became oil-rich and imported Western food. Also in New Guinea tribal elders
saw asthma as a completely new disease. The same applies to Africa: the poorer the country the lower the asthma rate.
A letter in The Lancet (Keely, D. and Neil, P. Asthma Paradox. p.1099, 4/5/91) about Zimbabwe states: “...we found the prevalence of
reversible airways obstruction to be 5.8% in richer urban children, 3.1% in poorer urban children, and 0.1% in rural children."
In these poorer countries there is a vast difference between urban and rural eating habits, and therefore a great difference in asthma
rates, while in Western countries there is no real difference between rural and urban eating habits and asthma rates. Another likely
factor is that rural populations get far less treatment with drugs and especially antibiotics than rich urban populations. We will later
see the signiﬁcance of this.
Food Allergies and Chemical Sensitivities
Asthma is notorious for being trigge red by inhaled allergens but this does not mean that such triggers are a basic cause of asthma.
The main problem is that there is an underlying chronic inﬂammation and oversensitivity of the airways which then reacts
indiscriminately to a wide range of inhaled irritants.
One common cause of a chronic inﬂammatory setting is the presence of hidden food allergies. ‘Hidden’  means that people are not
aware of the allergy because usually the body does not react to an allerg enic food to which it is exposed every day. Most asthmatics
have been shown to have such hidden food allergies. The most common foods to which asthmatics react are cows’  milk and cheese,
gluten, eggs, nuts, and seafood.
The same applies to chemical sensitivities. The most common reactions for asthmatics are caused by sulfur dioxide and sulﬁtes
(codes 221 to 224), by monosodium  glutamate or MSG (621 to 623), the yellow food dye tartrazine (code 102), and also salicylates
such as aspirin. MSG is not necessarily declared as such on a food

in their big toes. Perhaps they remember the old pictures
of the British Lord with one leg wrapped up and propped
on a chair in front of him, his face bearing an expression
of great pain. They may also remember that he arrived
at this unhappy state by living high on the hog – gorging
himself on a hearty diet of animal flesh, eggs, milk and
cheeses, rich sauces and gravies made from meat... all
washed down with alcohol and chemicalized and
inorganically mineralized water.
For over 85 years, various versions of the high protein
diet come and go. The pur veyors of these diets rationalize
that because our bodies contain a great deal of protein,
we must daily eat large amounts of protein to build
strong bodies ( millions of vegetarians worldwide ar e healthy! ).
Meat protein is heavily saturated with a powerful
toxic material called uric acid. Gout occurs as a result of
the unbalanced disturbance in the production,
destruction and excretion of uric acid. 57 Gout: The Pain is Like a Monster Eating Y our Flesh!
Cartoon from an old English drawing.
After the body performs various chemical operations
to break down the proteins found in all living cells, this
substance – uric acid – is the final end product. A certain
amount of it is normally found in the blood, up to about
5 or 6 milligrams per 100 milligrams of blood serum.
When this amount is elevated, it increases the likelihood
of gout or painful gout-like symptoms.
How do you know if you have this problem? If you

known as gouty arthritis or simply gout. As distinguished
from chronic arthritis, there is no residual pain or
tenderness between the severe, painful attacks.
If the disease goes unchecked, the periods between
attacks become shorter and the joint gradually becomes
deformed. T oxic cr ystals formed from uric acid and
inorganic minerals in hard drinking water are deposited
in joints or bursa, causing the destruction of surrounding
tissues. These same deposits are also found in cartilage
surrounding bone throughout the body and are called
chalk stones or tophi, another characteristic of gout. The kidneys are often involved in these gouty
disturbances. Structures within the kidneys called tubules

60 Arthritis and Rheumatism
There is a good bit of confusion in the use of the words
rheumatism and arthritis. Nowadays, the word rheumatism
is used loosely to mean pain and discomfort in and around
the joints. In stricter usage, rheumatic conditions include
not only those of bone and cartilage, but also of the tendons
and tissues  surrounding the bones, or their associated
connective tissue. W e also use the word bursitis when the
inflammation is confined to the bursa, a sac containing
fluid to prevent friction between joint and tendon.
It is of interest to note that millions of Americans
have arthritis problems, making this one of our most
common physical complaints. One-tenth are disabled
by their arthritis to some degree. All of this indicates
that arthritis, which strictly means “inflammation of the
joints,” is a dreaded condition! It has been estimated
that there are more than 50 varieties of this disease. The
kind most feared is known as rheumatoid arthritis. All
ages may be affected. Even ver y young children suffer
from this miser y, which is often deforming.
Rheumatoid arthritis may affect different parts of the
body, but the joints are the chief targets. Its onset is
characterized by redness, heat and swelling, causing
inflammation in one or more of the joints. When a joint
is swollen and painful, it is difficult to use and therefore
becomes less flexible from lack of use as well as from
the miser y itself. The muscles also gr ow smaller or
atrophy without exer cise. The victim may seem to have
large and ver y sore joints with thin ar ms and legs.
They claim there is no known cure for rheumatoid
arthritis. W e have no cures to offer you. Again, all we

 existed undisturbed, until the late 19th
century, when the first incandescent filament light bulb was invented in Britain, and somewhat
later in America. With that invention electricity became a vital part of everyday life and its use
has grown exponentially, until today all populations on Earth are exposed to varying degrees
of electromagnetic fields. Lamps, TV sets, radios, refrigerators, regular and microwave ovens,
computers, and latterly cellular phones all emit invisible electromagnetic frequencies. If we add
natural geopathic radiation to our household implements, it is no exaggeration to say that we exist
in an electronic soup, or to see that this is bound to have a harmful impact on human health and
well-being.
As the use of cellular phones increases worldwide, more and more radio masts are erected
to service them. So far, official bodies have tended to claim that these masts presented no health
risks to people living near them, but concerned individuals tell a different story, reporting on
clusters of diseases, mainly cancer, erupting in the vicinity of a recently erected mast. Sleep
disturbances, headaches, skin rashes, heart palpitations and vertigo have also set in within the
same period. Some scientists agree with the concerns of the lay public, For example Dr. Robert
O.Becker, twice nominated for the Nobel Price, called the proliferation of electro-magnetic
fields “the greatest polluting element in the earth’s environment.” And both the World Health
Organization and the European Parliament have held discussions on the environmental impact of
electro-magnetic fields.
Applying the precautionary principle—“If in doubt, don’t ”—everything possible must
be done to limit the risks of the all-pervasive electronic smog. Cellular phone use must be
cut to a minimum, switched off immediately after use, and not carried on the body even
when switched off. If possible, hands-free devices should be used, to keep phones away from

Phones apart, it is wise not to keep any electronic devices near beds, where the sleepers
would be exposed to radiation throughout the night. All electronic equipment should be
switched off when not in use, not left on stand-by. A common houseplant, chlorophytum
(popular name spider plant) is said to absorb harmful radiation, and should be kept in the
home in large numbers.
Stress—the Enemy Within
 Last but not least, beside the harmful influences that attack the body’s defenses from the
outside, there is another self-made internal one, namely stress, that must be considered. Stress
is very much taken for granted as part of today’s rushed and restless lifestyle, yet it wasn’t even
identified, let alone explored until the first half of the twentieth century. It was then that the
eminent Hungarian-born endocrinologist Hans Selye, M.D., D.Sc., FRS (1907-1982), first began
to wonder why so many people were suffering from  what he called a state of sub-health, being
neither ill nor well and lacking in vitality. He eventually identified the cause as stress, which he
defined in the following words: “Stress is the nonspecific response of the body to any demand,
whether it is caused by, or results in, pleasant or unpleasant conditions. How you take it determines
whether you can adapt successfully to change.”
 In other words, stress in itself isn’t bad. On the contrary. To quote Selye again, “It is generally
believed that biological organisms require a certain amount of stress in order to maintain their
well-being. However,.”. excess stress that the system cannot handle, produces pathological
changes.” 8 The problem is that modern human beings respond to real or imaginary danger with
the same instantaneous biological changes as our most remote ancestors did when confronted
with an attacking mammoth or the flint axe of an enemy: the “fight or flight” response clicks in,
giving the organism a burst of energy to fight the attacker—or flee with above-average speed. The
alarm reaction causes the pituitary-adenocortical system to respond by producing the hormones
essential to either fighting or fleeing. The heart rate increases, the blood sugar level  rises, the
pupils dilate to see better and the digestion slows down to divert energy to the limbs. Adrenaline
and cortisol rush into the system. All these changes disappear when the situation is resolved,
either by fighting the enemy or fleeing to safety.
 These days the threats are mainly non-violent, and the challenges tend to cause frustration,
simmering rage or repressed tension, which find no outlet—after all, we can’t wrestle with a
hyper-critical boss, or escape from a maddening traffic jam—so that the organism stays in an
unnaturally aroused state. Just like our cave-dwelling ancestors, modern people also go through
the three phases of alarm, resistance, and finally exhaustion. And in due course the stress-induced
hormonal changes can lead to a wide range of diseases, including hypertension, coronary
thrombosis, brain hemorrhage, gastric or duodenal ulcers, arteriosclerosis, arthritis, kidney

www.thegersonway.comdisease and allergic reactions. Above all, the immune system is weakened—and by now we know
how dangerous that is.
 Hardly anyone gets through life without experiencing periods of great stress. Business
failure, financial problems, serious debt, divorce, sickness in the family, loss of a job—the list is
long. People often respond by putting in extra hours of work, living on junk food and unhealthy
snacks, taking sleeping drugs to fight insomnia and “wake-up drugs” to cope with the new day,
drinking more coffee, more alcohol, smoking more, all of which speeds up the descent into ill
health. But it is their reaction to stress, not the stress in itself  that causes the trouble. Stress and
its consequences may act as the proverbial last straw that breaks the camel’s back, especially if we
are dealing with one of Selye’s “sub-healthy” individuals, whose liver is already in a sorry state,
with the rest of the organism toxic and malnourished.
 All this means that stress must be included among the factors that undermine the body’s
defenses, and we need to deal with it sensibly. Relaxation techniques, yoga, breathing exercises,
counseling help to re-program one’s spontaneous, deeply damaging reactions to life’s inevitable
turmoils. ( see Chapter 25, Overcoming Stress and Tension ) Combined with optimum nutrition this
may result in the ideal set out by Dr Selye, when he recommended, “stress without distress.”

Diseases  of  Modern  Civilization
It is an astonishing fact of the 21st century that instead of enjoying good health and fitness, so
many people in the developed world suffer from a multitude of complaints and diseases, which
a few generations ago were much less widespread. Worse still, these conditions are no longer
limited to the middle-aged and elderly, but attack ever-younger generations. Because of their
comparative novelty, they are often called “diseases of modern civilization.” This sounds like a
kind of justification, as if they were the price we have to pay for our unprecedented degree of
technological development, comfort and consumer choice; in other words, that they are a direct
consequence of today’s de-natured, over-civilized lifestyle. This is probably true. At any rate,
orthodox medicine deems these diseases incurable. All it can offer is symptomatic treatment,

— Remove the concept of “enemy” fr om your thoughts completely.
The who le idea that there are p eople on the planet that are our enemies is
what the  ego has trained us to believe. W e have some of th ese ancient
enmities, hatreds, and angers being passed down from generation to
generation just on the basis of having whole new souls who come through
being taught that “this is whom you’re supposed to hate.”
Remember, ther e are no choosing up sides on our own planet. W e are all
in this thing together. The idea that somehow there are some people who are
more sp ecial than others is the  ego talking again. It’ s that whole idea of
separateness and  specialness. Once you have that awareness, the  ego is now
subsided—you h ave tamed the ego when you have accepted that there are
no enemies.
In m y sp eeches over the years, I’ve often asked, “How many p eople are
there in Russia?” The audience will give me an answer. Then I’ll ask, “Can
you think of anybody in Russia  whom you hate? Is there anybody in this
room who hates someone in Russia? Is there some grandmothe r over there
or one of those little Russian children whom you hate?” There’ s never a
hand that goes up. Y et during the whole Cold W ar period, we sp ent billions
of dollar s creati ng weapons to kill those very people over there whom no
one hates.
The problem isn’ t so much that we hate others; it’ s that we haven’ t
learned t o love them enough. Once we’ve learned to love each o ther enough
and completely transcend that i dea of having enemies—and when enough
of us do it—then we will create peace and foster enlightenment  all over the
world. W e can d o that not only with people who are living on the other side
of th e gl obe but  also with the folks in our own neighborhoods, workplaces,
and fam ilies. W hen we can send love to them rather than hatred, we open
up the internal ener gy source that gives us heightened spiritual awareness.— Surr ender, whi ch involves an act of the heart.  Surrendering takes
place in a moment, and the way you do it is by no longer asking, “Why me?
Why is this happening to me?” Surrendering means that you simply let go.
When I surrender, I say, “I’m on  purpose; I’m only here to serve.” I then
find that I’m no t alone. When y ou learn to surrender and let go, and realize
that you ’re not in fa ct alone, you’ll have gotte n your ego out of the way.
The universe handles the details, your higher self begins to rule, and it is

prayer, chanting, or whatever, but give yourself some time each day to get
quiet an d come to know the voice of God. It isn’ t so much what you do
while you are silent; it’ s what you are able to bring back from your silence.
If you have something that is r eally 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.

—
I’ve been conducting an informal study of alternate nostril breathing for the
past several minutes.
It’ s the second day of the nasal breathing “Recovery” phase, and I’m
sitting in my living room, my elbows on the cluttered dining room table,
softly sucking air through my right nostril, pausing for five seconds, and
then blowing it out.
There are dozens of alternate nostril breathing techniques. I’ve started
with the most basic. It involves placing an index finger over the left nostril
and then inhaling and exhaling only through the right. I did this two dozen
times after each meal today, to heat up my body and aid my digestion.
Before meals, and any other time I wanted to relax, I’d switch sides,
repeating the same exercise with my left nostril open. T o gain focus and
balance the body and mind, I followed a technique called surya bheda
pranayama, which involves taking one breath into the right nostril, then
exhaling through the left for several rounds.These exercises felt great. Sitting here after a few rounds, I sense an
immediate and potent clarity and relaxation, even a floatiness. As
advertised, I’ve been entirely free of any gastroesophageal reflux. I haven’ t
registered the slightest stomach ache. Alternate nostril breathing appeared
to have delivered these benefits, but these techniques, I’d found, were
usually fleeting, lasting only 30 minutes or so.
The real transformation in my body over the last 24 hours came from
another practice: letting my nasal erectile tissues flex of their own accord,
naturally adjusting the flow of air to suit the needs of my body and brain. It
happened because of simply breathing through my nose.
As I’m quietly contemplating all this, Olsson comes bar ging in. “Good
afternoon!” he yells. He’ s wearing his shorts and Abercrombie sweatshirt,
and he plops down across from me while placing a blood-pressure cuf f
around his right arm. This is the same position he’ s assumed for the last
eleven days straight, in pretty much the same clothes. T oday, however,
there’ s no bandage, nose clip, or silicone plugs up his nose. He’ s also
breathing freely through his nostrils, taking in easy and silent inhales and
exhales. His face is flushed, he’ s sitting upright, and he’ s so keyed up with
ener gy that he can’ t stay still.
I figured that some of our new, bright outlook on life was psychosomatic
until a few minutes later, when we checked our measurements. My systolic
blood pressure had dropped from 142 ten days ago—a deep state of stage 2
hypertension—to 124, still a bit high but just a few points from a healthy
range. My heart rate variability increased by more than 150 percent, and my
carbon dioxide levels rose around 30 percent, taking me from a state of
hypocapnia, which can cause dizziness, numbness in the fingers, and mental
confusion, and placing me squarely within the medically normal zone.
Olsson showed similar improvements.
And there’ s potential for much more. Because pulsing nasal cycles are
only a small part of the nose’ s vital functions.
Imagine for a moment that you’re holding a billiard ball at eye level a
few inches from your face. Then imagine slowly pushing that entire ball
inside the center of your face. The volume the ball would take up, some six
cubic inches, is equivalent to the total space of all the cavities and
passageways that make up the interior of the adult nose.
In a single breath, more molecules of air will pass through your nose
than all the grains of sand on all the world’ s beaches—trillions and trillionsof them. These little bits of air come from a few feet or several yards away.
As they make their way toward you, they’ll twist and spool like the stars in
a van Gogh sky, and they’ll keep twisting and spooling and scrolling as they
pass into you, traveling at a clip of about five miles per hour.
What directs this rambling path are turbinates, six maze-like bones
(three on each side) that begin at the opening of your nostrils and end just
below your eyes. The turbinates are coiled in such a way that if you split
them apart, they’d look like a seashell, which is how they got their other
name, nasal concha, after the conch shell. Crustaceans use their elaborately
designed shells to filter impurities and keep invaders out. So do we.
The lower turbinates at the opening of the nostrils are covered in that
pulsing erectile tissue, itself covered in mucous membrane, a nappy sheen
of cells that moistens and warms breath to your body temperature while
simultaneously filtering out particles and pollutants. All these invaders
could cause infection and irritation if they got into the lungs; the mucus is
the body’ s “ first line of defense.” It’ s constantly on the move, sweeping
along at a rate of about half an inch every minute, more than 60 feet per
day. Like a giant conveyor belt, it collects inhaled debris in the nose, then
moves all the junk down the throat and into the stomach, where it’ s
sterilized by stomach acid, delivered to the intestines, and sent out of your
body.
This conveyor belt doesn’ t just move by itself. It’ s pushed along by
millions of tiny, hair -like structures called cilia. Like a field of wheat in the
wind, cilia sway with each inhale and exhale, but do so at a fast clip of up to
16 beats per second. Cilia closer to the nostrils gyrate at a dif ferent rhythm
than those farther along, their movements creating a coordinated wave that
keeps mucus moving deeper. The cilia grip is so strong that it can even push
against the force of gravity. No matter what position the nose (and head) is
in, whether it’ s upside down or right-side up, the cilia will keep pushing
inward and down.
W orking together, the dif ferent areas of the turbinates will heat, clean,
slow, and pressurize air so that the lungs can extract more oxygen with each
breath. This is why nasal breathing is far more healthy and ef ficient than
breathing through the mouth. As Nayak explained when I first met him, the
nose is the silent warrior: the gatekeeper of our bodies, pharmacist to our
minds, and weather vane to our emotions.•       •       •
The magic of the nose, and its healing powers, wasn’ t lost on the ancients.
Around 1500 BCE, the Ebers Papyrus, one of the oldest medical texts
ever discovered, of fered a description of how nostrils were supposed to feed
air to the heart and lungs, not the mouth. A thousand years later, Genesis
2:7 described how “the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living
soul.” A Chinese T aoist text from the eighth century AD  noted that the nose
was the “heavenly door,” and that breath must be taken in through it.
“Never do otherwise,” the text warned, “for breath would be in danger and
illness would set in.”
But it wasn’ t until the nineteenth century that the W estern population
ever considered the glories of nasal breathing. It happened thanks to an
adventurous artist and researcher named Geor ge Catlin.
By 1830, Catlin had left what he called a “dry and tedious” job as a
lawyer to become a portrait painter for Philadelphia’ s high society. He
became well-known for his depictions of governors and aristocrats, but all
the pomp and pretention of polite society did not impress him. Although his
health was failing, Catlin yearned to be far away in nature, to capture rawer
and more real depictions of humanity. He packed a gun, several canvases, a
few paintbrushes, and headed west. Catlin would spend the next six years
traveling thousands of miles throughout the Great Plains, covering more
distance than Lewis and Clark to document the lives of 50 Native American
tribes.
He went up the Missouri to live with the Lakota Sioux. He met with the
Pawnee, Omaha, Cheyenne, and Blackfeet. Along the banks of the Upper
Missouri, he happened upon the civilization of the Mandan, a mysterious
tribe whose members stood six feet tall and lived in bubble-shaped houses.
Many had luminous blue eyes and snow-white hair.
Catlin realized that nobody really knew about the Mandan, or other
Plains tribes, because no one of European descent had bothered to spend
time talking to them, researching them, living with them, and learning about
their beliefs and traditions.
“ I am traveling this country, as I have before said, not to advance or to
prove theories, but to see all I am able to see and to tell it in the simplest
and most intelligible manner I can to the world, for their own conclusions,”Catlin wrote. He would paint some 600 portraits and take hundreds of pages
of notes, forming what famed author Peter Matthiessen would call

NO-ONE NEEDS T O DIE OF CANCER
by W alter Last
This is an overview of my recent article  Cancer Therapy  - A New Direction  which is in the April 2013 edition of Nexus Magazine. In
this I show that there is now conclu sive research evidence that tumour growth can be stopped and reversed just with oral sodium
bicarbonate. It is as simple as that.
There are three possible ways of dying from cancer:
•   Occasionally a tumour becomes too large and obstructs vital organ functions. This happens mainly with cancers of the brain and
     pancreas.
•   Immune attacks and toxins released by a disintegrating tumour cause massive inﬂammations, causing patients to die of infections,
    heart or liver failure. This is a common side-ef fect of destroying tumours with conventional cancer therapies but can also happen
with
    natural tumour-destroying therapies.
•   Most erythrocytes (red blood cells) are disabled by microbes in the blood and unable to carry oxygen. This leads to muscle wasting
    and extreme fatigue, called cachexia, and is the common end-stage of metastatic cancer after conventional treatment.
All of these three causes can be eliminated with sodium bicarbonate in combination with antimicrobial therapy. The present emphasis
in conventional cancer therapy is to destroy tumours. However, there is little evidence that this approach actually works and beneﬁts
patients, while there is mounting evidence that it is exactly this approach that makes cancer so dangerous and causes most of the
deaths from cancer. While natural tumour-destroying methods are generally more successful and less dangerous, they too can
sometimes cause massive inﬂammations and death.
I now regard cancer cells and tumours as generally harmless, and the common therapies as the main cause of cancer deaths. I
believe with the right strategy no one needs to die of cancer. Cancer cells are like war planes and tanks. By themselves they are
completely harmless. What makes them dangerous are the soldiers operating them.
It is the same with cancer cells. They only become dangerous when inhabited by certain microbes. They poison the oxidative energy
production of normal cell which then makes them cancer cells which produce most of their energy by converting glucose into lactic
acid. When many cancer cells are bunched together in one place this is then a malignant tumour or like an invading army. The
production of large amounts of lactic  acid makes tumours and their surroundings overacid. This allows proteolytic enzymes released
by the tumour to dissolve surrounding healthy tissue and the tumour to expand

At many points in this odyssey, I discovered that there are some pretty
serious preservers out there. Basia Halik, owner of The Harve st Room in
Neustadt, Ontario, is one of them. The crisp February day I visited Basia,
she was making Blood Orange Marmalade and simmering apples in order to
render her own pectin—a two -day process. There, in her ce ntury stone
house, surround ed by her collec tion of ironstone and pine, and the wreaths
she ma kes from her garden’ s bounty, I spent an enchanted day
photographing a s she took me through the rituals of “puttin g food by.”
Thank you, Basia, for sharing a  piece of your Eden with the m any people
who will pick up this book.
The peo ple at Bernardin Canada are, in my view, the preserving experts.
After all, they h ave been in the business of canning for over 10 0 years and,through their toll-free telephone  number, of fer genuine and safe advice to
home ca nners. Thanks to them for answering my technical questions and
supporting the testing of the recipes in this book by providing equipment.
Lee V al ley T ools has carved a niche in the home artisan market with its
excellent-quality woodworking, gardening, home craft, and kitchen tools
and equi pment. Its Maslin pan w as used to test almost every single recipe in
this boo k. Not once did I have a  problem with scorching, because the pan is
designed for preserving: heavy-b ottomed and wider at the top for maximum
evaporation. Th is is an essentia l piece of equipment if you plan to make
preserves part of your seasonal kitchen rituals.
KitchenAid real ly did come to my aid during recipe testing. Its s tand mixer,
with the Rotor S licer/Shredder attachment, makes short work o f slicing or
shredding fresh cabbage, onions, beets and other vegetables for preserves. I
particularly like  it because th e shredding is continuous—I  can shred
mountains of cabbage for colesl aw or sauerkraut without stopping to empty
a bowl. For chopping functions, the KitchenAid dual-bowl food processor
provided, in one machine, a sm all-quantity chopping bowl for spices and
herbs, while the lar ge, 12-cup (3 L) bowl handled the lar ge amounts of fruit
or veget ables I was chopping for most recipes. These machin es are what
make preserving for our generation less of a task and more of a joy.
Sincere thanks go to all my loc al land stewards: Simon de Boer, for garlic
scapes, sunchokes and other or ganic herbs and vegetables; Andrew Barry,
who grows asparagus, as did his father before him, and whose asparagus
and strawberries were used in t he tests; my friends Pie and Basia for their
rhubarb; Filsinger ’ s Or ganic Foods & Orchards for or ganic gooseberries,
currants and cider vinegar, and f or providing the setting for my photographs
of several apple varieties, all from their orchards in A yton, Ontario. Thanks
as w ell to the people at Stokes Seeds Inc. for the day I spent wandering
around their trial gardens—the  lar gest in North America—photographing
vegetables. Many of the shots o f vegetables in this book were taken in that
exciting garden, where both new and old varieties make the ir debut or
return to centre stage.For a very small village, Neusta dt, Ontario, where I live and work, has its
share of highly creative people. Richard Mund of Richard Mund Pottery has
been working at his craft in the  village for over 10 years, and his beautiful
hand-painted pottery was the perfect vessel for showcasing my French
Beans in T omato Sauce ( french beans in tomato sauce ). Neustadt Springs
Brewery, winner of numerous awards, makes mighty fine beer using spring
water from deep in the caverns o f the 19th-century stone structure. Neustadt
Lager w ent dow n beautifully on hot summer days after the Maslin pan had
been cleaned for the final time.
Of course, my f amily always figures into my books, and this  book is no
exception. Thanks to Gary and Shannon McLaughlin, my partners in life.
Friends seem to become more precious to me with every passing year. I am
blessed with bonds of mutual af fection from all of the strands that are
woven i nto the tapestry of my  life: herbies, foodies, book club buddies,
publishers and editors, and long -time friends from university days. The list
is lo ng—too long for me to mention individuals. But if y ou’ve ever
received a jar of my preserves, I count you as a cherished friend.A b o u t  t h e  A u t h o r

by W alter Last
We all are likely to beneﬁt from incre ased levels of emotional security. Emotional security is a rather nebulous concept that includes
how we feel about ourself, how good we feel in relationships with other people who are important to us (eg family), and how conﬁdent
we are that things will turn out well for us.
Probably all of us feel some elements of doubt in some of these areas, and especially children - if they are able to think in these
terms.
One of the main functions of a family unit is to foster feelings of emotional security in children, and often much of the irritating or
negative behaviour seen in children can be removed through actively raising the child's levels of emotional security.
This is an easy claim to make, but often in actuality a harder thing to achieve. Following are some techniques that have been tried
and found useful in raising the level of emotional security in children.
1. A very successful technique is to set aside 3 to 5 minutes every night  for the child. After  the child has gone to bed, mum or dad
(take turns) should go in, turn off the light, and sit on the side of the bed in the dark. The child is in the security of its own bed, with a
little body contact with the parent, and no eye contact, because it is dark. Then the parents should just talk about their own day, share
