 arsenic. Inorganic arsenic compounds areused to preserve wood.
Uses in the body
: The role of arsenic in the body is unknown. In animal
studies, arsenic was essential for growth, development, and
reproduction, possibly because of its role in the metabolism of
methionine, an amino acid involved in growth. Has a “garlic” odor
when burned. Stored mostly in the liver. Excreted in urine. Possible
uses in the body: skin, hair, nails, thyroid gland and brain.
Deficiency
: Arsenic settles in the muscles and the brain (dislodging
phosphorus). Sweet metallic taste, garlicky odor to breath and stools,
constriction of throat, constant backache (causes chiropractic
adjustments not to hold), fatigue, low vitality, difficulties in
swallowing, burning sensation (inflammation) in eyes, throat and
chest, enlargement of tonsils, muscle spasms, pain in muscles of the
back, listlessness, loss of pain sensation, loss of body hair, skin color
changes (dark spots) gastroenteritis.
Toxicity
: Metabolic inhibitor (reduces energy production efficiency),
cellular and enzyme poison. Constricts the throat and causes muscle
spasms. An extreme “nerve” toxin. Anorexia. Ingesting high levels
can result in death. Breathing high levels of inorganic arsenic can
give you a sore throat or irritated lungs. Also, nausea, vomiting,
decreased production of red and white blood cells, abnormal heart
rhythm, damage to blood vessels, and a sensation of “pins and
needles” in hands and feet. Also, constant backache.
Beryllium (Be)
Food sources
: Water, air and soil.
Toxic sources
: Industrial exposure, mining, metal working, burning coal,
copper processing, and possibly paints, colors, cosmetics.
Uses in the body
: There is currently no information regarding whether
beryllium is essential for optimum biochemical function.
Deficiency
: Dyspnea, weight loss, cough, fatigue, chest pain, anorexia,
and weakness.
Toxicity
: Effects the lungs, liver, kidneys and heart. Enzyme inhibitor,
including ATP, DNA and several hepatic enzymes; cell death in all
tissues.Boron (B)
Acid/Alkaline
: Acid-forming
Found in
: Volcanic springs in Tuscany, as borates in hernite, and as
colemanite in California.
Food sources
: Water supply. Fresh fruits: apples, carrots, grapes, pears,
leafy vegetables, nuts and grains.
Toxic sources
: Soaps, cements, some cleaners, glass, ceramics.
Deficiency
: Poor dietary intake of boron causes bone changes similar to
those noted in osteoporotic women. Boron deficiency results in
decreased blood levels of ionized calcium and calcitonin, elevated
levels of total calcium and urinary excretion of calcium. In animals, it
causes depressed growth rates. Boron and magnesium metabolism
might be related, since a combined deficiency of these two minerals
exacerbates the osteo-condition, suppresses bone anabolism, and
results in decreased magnesium concentrations in bones. In contrast,
boron supplementation elevates serum concentrations of beta-
estradiol and testosterone and produces changes consistent with the
prevention of calcium loss and bone demineralization.
Toxicity
: Nausea, diarrhea, skin rashes, arthritis, and fatigue. Limited
research on
animals shows that excessive boron intake might
suppress growth and immunity.
Cadmium (Cd)
Food sources
: Water, air and soil.
Toxic sources
: Cigarette smoke, air from battery manufacturing, metal
soldering, welding and electroplating, pipes, water supplies, mining,
the air near zinc refineries, burning of fossil fuels or municipal
waste, dentures, paints, galvanized pipes, contaminated shellfish.
Foods that help to detox cadmium
: Vegetables from the cabbage
family, paprika, fruits.
Uses in the body
: An environmental poison found in water, on our food
and in the air. It’s found in processed grains, dairy products, meats,
fish, fertilizers, auto exhaust, cigarette smoke, batteries, solder and
dentures. It disrupts the absorption of other minerals and tends to
settle in the heart and right kidney and affects proper functioning ofseveral enzymes.
Deficiency
: Anemia, muscle deterioration, hypertension, liver and kidney
damage, zinc deficiency, arthritis, pneumonitis, vomiting, diarrhea,
loss of calcium in bones, deterioration of heart and blood vessel
structures, prostration, emphysema.
Toxicity
: Cadmium is not excreted from the body and can accumulate
over time to toxic levels. Excessive intake occurs when soft water
leaches cadmium from pipes. Hypertension, kidney damage, loss of
sense of smell (anosmia). Studies show that alcohol increases the
retention of heavy metals such as cadmium.
Chromium (Cr)
Acid/Alkaline
: Acid-forming
Food sources
: Natural water sources, mushrooms, sugar cane, brewer’s
yeast, molasses, spices and herbs.
Toxic sources
: Industry leather tanning processes, raw cement and wood
finishing.
Note
: Scientists estimate that 90% of Americans don’t get enough
chromium and that 60% are diabetic or hypoglycemic.
Uses in the body
: Master regulator of insulin. The average body contains
about 600 meg. of chromium with the highest concentration
occurring during infancy. The main function of chromium is as a
component of glucose tolerance factor (GTF), a substance that works
with insulin to facilitate the uptake of blood sugar (glucose) into the
cells. Needed for energy, thyroid, spleen. Aids carbohydrate
metabolism. Works with insulin in glucose utilization and energy
release. Chromium deficient diseases are aggravated by vanadium
deficiency.
Deficiency
: Hypoglycemia, diabetes. Possible sleep and dream
disturbances, anxiety, fatigue, shortened life span. Industrial
chromium has carcinogenic effects upon the lungs and can cause
bronchial inflammation, skin ulcerations, and conditions have been
observed in cerebral hemorrhage and thrombosis.
Toxicity
: Excess intake or tissue accumulation of chromium can inhibit
rather than enhance the effectiveness of insulin. At extremely high
levels, it may encourage the growth of cancer. Kidney and liverimpairment.
Cobalt (Co)
Food sources
: All green leafy vegetables. Also, various fruits, vegetables
and herbs.
Toxic sources
: Cobalt is used as an antifoaming agent in the processing
of some beer. Consumption of large amounts of this beer could
cause polycythemia and heart disorders.
Uses in the body
: Aids in normal growth and appetite, pancreas. The
only known
function of cobalt is as a constituent of vitamin B12. In
this capacity, cobalt aids in the formation of normal red blood cells,
maintenance of nerve tissue, and normal formation of cells.
Deficiency
: A deficiency of cobalt is equivalent to a deficiency of
vitamin B12, and can cause anemia, nerve disorders, and
abnormalities in cell formation. Also, “scaly” skin and atrophy.
Toxicity
: Rare. Large doses of inorganic cobalt (not combined with
vitamin B12) might stimulate thyroid and bone marrow function,
resulting in excess production of red blood cells (polycythemia).
Copper (Cu)
Acid/Alkaline
: Alkaline-forming
Food sources
: Dark green leafy vegetables, raisins, radishes, nuts
(especially almonds) oranges, blackstrap molasses, avocados, and
broccoli.
Toxic sources
: Copper water pipes and cooking utensils.
Note
: Long-term uses of oral contraceptives can upset the balance of
copper in the body causing excessively high cholesterol levels.
Uses in the body
: Liver, gallbladder, blood, lungs, heart. Absorption and
metabolism of iron. Oxidation of fatty acids, of tyrosine to melanin
pigments. Metabolism of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). A catalyst used
in the manufacture of hemoglobin. Essential to catecholamine
synthesis. Copper is a component of the antioxidant enzyme:
Superoxide dismutase, and might protect cell membranes from
potential damage by highly reactive oxygen fragments. In this
antioxidant role, copper might function to prevent the developmentof cancer.
Deficiency
: Copper settles in brain and ovaries. Can cause chronic
diarrhea, burning sensation in throat and tonsils, malabsorption
problems, or iron-deficiency anemia. Also loss of color from skin
and hair (inability of body to manufacture collagen), baldness, heart
disease, Menkes’ Syndrome, nervous system impairment, low
resistance to infection, scoliosis, poor tissue formation, impaired
respiration, skin sores, retardation.
Toxicity
: Symptoms can include ulcerative colitis, Wilson’s Disease.
Mental and emotional problems.
Note
: Daily intake of more than 20 mg. can cause nausea and vomiting.
Fluorine/Fluoride (F)
Acid/Alkaline
: Acid-forming
Food sources
: Carrots, turnip and beet greens, d


 point a way out of this desperate situation? Yes. In 1943, the
physiological laboratory of Northwestern University
established the Law of Adaptive Secretion of Digestive
Enzymes by experiments on rats. The amount of digestive
enzymes secreted by the pancreas in response to carbohydrate, protein, and fat was measured and it was found
that the strength of each enzyme varied with the amount of
each of these food materials it was called upon to digest. Prior
to this it was assumed that enz
ymes were secreted in e qual proportions, according to the rule laid down by Professor
Babkin. The Law of Adaptive Secretion of Digestive
Enzymes holds that the organism values its enzymes highly
and will make no more than are needed for the job. If some of the food is digested by enzymes in the food, the body will
make less concentrated digestive enzymes. The Law of
Adaptive Secretion of Digestive Enzymes has since been
confirmed by dozens of university laboratories throughout the world.
   If humans take in more exogenous (outside) digestive
enzymes, as nature ordained, the enzyme potential will not have to waste so much of its heritage digesting food. It can
distribute more of this precious commodity to the metabolic
enzymes, where it rightfully belongs. This rightful
distribution of enzyme energy will not only act to maintain
health and prevent disease, but is expected to help cure established disease. The old saying that nature will cure really
refers to metabolic enzyme activity, because there is no other mechanism in the body to cure anything.
   To get enzymes from food, one must eat raw food. All life,
whether plant or animal, requires the presence of enzymes to
keep it going. Therefore, all plant and animal food in the raw
state has them. But the mere touch of heat destroys them. Enzymes tolerate no heat at all. They are different from
vitamins in this respect. Pasteurization destroys the life force
in them, even though much less heat is used than in cooking
(145°F versus 300°F or higher). If water is hot enough to feel
uncomfortable to the hand, it will injure enzymes in food. All foods from a food factory have been heat processed by one
means or another.
Evidence of Enzyme Wastage
   We are guilty of being careless with enzymes. They are the
most precious asset we possess and we should welcome
outside enzyme help. If we depend solely upon the enzymes
we inherit, they will be used up just like inherited money that is not supplemented by a steady income. The Food Enzyme
Concept points out that acute wastage of large quantities of
enzymes is strenuously objected to by the body. It can lead to
serious illness and even death. In an experiment in 1944,
young rats and chickens were fed a diet of raw soybeans (high
in enzyme inhibitors) and huge quantities of pancreatic
digestive enzymes were wasted in combating the inhibitors.
The pancreas gland enlarged to handle the extra burden, and
the animals sickened and failed to grow. Soybeans are seeds,
and all seeds have some enzyme inhibitors. (Enzyme inhibitors are discussed in Cha
pter 7. ) The earl y experiments, proving that organisms rebel against having their enzymes
wasted, have now been repeated and amplified in dozens of
scientific experimental laboratories. Eating the seeds and their
inhibitors causes a great outpouring and wastage of pancreatic digestive enzymes, enlargement of the pancreas, decrease in
the supply of metabolic enzymes, stunted growth, and impaired health.
   My organ weight tables, some of which are presented in this
book (see pp. 81, 126), show that the size and weight of the
pancreas varies with the type of diet. When the pancreas must
process more enzymes, it enlarges. Is this wholesome for the individual? When the heart works too hard pumping blood
through damaged arteries, it enlarges. Who wants an enlarged
heart? Are enlarged tonsils something to desire? Or an
enlarged thyroid gland, turning into a goiter? What about an
enlarged liver? The everyday variety of enlarged pancreas is painless, not letting its owner know it is doing anything
wrong, while indiscriminately handling the enzyme activity
doled out to it and stressing the whole system. We are guilty
of forcing our precious enzyme activity to do all of the menial
work of digestion and then expect it also to do a perfect job on the metabolism. Food enzymes, and other exogenous
enzymes, can help with digestion, but not with metabolism.
Then why not let these helper-enzymes free our body's energy
stores to more efficiently run the metabolism of the body?
   Animals such as cattle and sheep get along with a pancreas
about a third as large as ours (figured as a percentage of the
body weight) on their raw food diet. Laboratory mice, eating the standard laboratory chow diet of heat-processed, enzyme-
free food, have a pancreas two to three times heavier than that
of wild mice eating the enzyme diet of raw food they find in nature. When laboratory rats are put on an enzyme-rich diet
of raw food, their pancreas gets only about one third as heavy
as the same gland in rats fed a random diet, or one totally free
of enzymes.
   The tremendous impact that wastage of body enzymes can
have on health and even life itself is pointed out by
experiments performed on animals. At Washington University, surgeons equipped a group of dogs with fistulae
(tubes) designed to drain all of the pancreatic juice enzymes
out of the body and waste them. Despite the animals' usual
access to food and water, profound deterioration set in, and all
of them died within a week. This experiment was later duplicated on rats by other research workers and the same
sequence of events took place, with death following in less
than a week. Acute human intestinal obstruction has been
described as resultin
g in death within three to five da ys. Both in experimental intestinal obstruction in the dog, and in
spontaneous human obstruction, authorities believe death is
attributable to loss of pancreatic juice enzymes, caused by
continuous vomiting. It is a remarkable fact that prolonged loss of bile through biliary fistulae, which prevent bile from
entering the intestines, is not fatal in man or in laboratory
animals, because no enzymes are wasted in this instance. The
modern human digestive system makes extravagant demands
on the enzyme potential. In this area man is in a class by himself, unlike all of nature's creatures in the wild. Indeed,
only humans live on enzyme-free food. All wild creatures get
their enzyme supplements in the raw food itself. Animals
using raw food do not have the rich concentrations of enzyme
activity in their digestive juices that humans do. Many animals have no enzymes at all in the saliva. But human
saliva is loaded with a fantastically high concentration of the
enzyme amylase, also known as ptyalin. Cattle and sheep
secrete huge quantities of saliva entirely devoid of enzymes.
The horse has no salivary enzymes on its natural raw diet. When dogs and cats eat their natural raw, carnivorous diet,
there are no enzymes in the saliva. But when dogs are fed on
a high carbohydrate, heat-treated diet, enzymes show up in
the saliva within about a week, obeying the Law of Adaptive Secretion of Digestive Enzymes.
THE FOOD-ENZYME STOMACH
   One would think that because ruminants such as cattle and
sheep have no enzymes in the saliva, they would have an
extra large concentration of enzy mes in the pancreatic juice to
make up for it. But this is not the case. My organ weight
research has, in fact, disclosed that the pancreas of cattle and
sheep is much smaller than ours, figured as a percentage of body weight. This shows that these animals get along with far
less pancreatic enzymes than we. Cattle and sheep have four
stomachs, only one of which secretes enzymes. And this one
is the smallest. The other three, which are forestomachs, and
which I have named food-enzyme stomachs, have no enzymes of their own, but allow enzymes of the food to digest
it. In addition, the forestomachs of ruminants harbor protozoa,
giving these tiny animals "free room and board" in exchange
for use of the enzymes in digesting the food. It is a nice
symbiotic relationship. As the digestion of a meal is advanced, most of the protozoa pass on into the fourth
stomach where they are digested and supply a considerable
portion of the protein requirements of the ruminants. This
raises the question whether animals, such as cattle and sheep,
are true vegetarians, since protozoa are animals, and their
hosts depend on them for some of their nutrients.    Besides the forestomachs of ruminants, a study of
comparative anatomy furnishes other examples of what I have
called the food-enzyme stomach. For years, physiologists
were puzzled as to the function of these organs. The largest food-enzyme stomach in the world is owned by the whale, the
first of three stomachs of this largest member of the Cetacea.
The smaller cetaceans are dolphins and porpoises, which also
have a food-enzyme stomach and two other stomachs. These
food-enzyme stomachs are loaded up with enormous catches of aquatic prey. One killer whale

99.999% empty space. We can see, detect or sense the matter composed from such
atoms, only because their energy interacts with us as observers, i.e. for example reflects
light that is visible to us. On that level of understanding, even physic ist agree, that there
is essentially no difference between thought and matter. Thoug ht can become matter
and matter can become a thought. Deepak Chopra gives some stunning e xamples of
such transformations not from the mysterious past, but from within t he contemporary
India.

If you need more explanations from the modern Quantum Physics point of view, and do
not feel an expert in physics, please read an excellent book “Super force”, by Paul
Davies, listed in the references. Paul Davies is a respected pr ofessor of physics, and
does a wonderful job of explaining achievements of modern physics to non -experts. It
is really worth the effort to read his book.

Another excellent book in this area is “The Brief History of T ime” by Stephen

  14 Modern medicine: a summary

This chapter is not by any means a complete critical analysi s of modern medicine.
Perhaps it could serve as a friendly warning to many of us t o be careful, treasure our
health, and to analyse critically any advice (including mine) because medicine does not
have all the answers.

Also, by showing selected limitations of conventional medicine, this chapter invites the
reader to increase his/her awareness of other healing techniques available to all of us
today.

  15  • ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE

People have been curing themselves in various ways for many thousands of years.
Over this time, some techniques have proved to be quite effective and popular.
Almost every civilization in the past had its own selection of the  best medical
practices. We are very fortunate today, that some of this informat ion is still
available and we can take advantage of the accumulated wisdom of man y
generations of talented and enlightened people.

Please let me point out, that the original principles of orthodox medic ine essentially
support the view, that the patients should be able to seek another opinion.

A growing number of people, especially when confronted with a diagnosi s of a
disease considered “incurable” by orthodox medicine (such as advanc ed cancer for
example) turn to alternative forms of treatments, which were prove n through
centuries. To the surprise of orthodox doctors, many of such patients s ucceed in
greatly improving their state of health and surviving for many y ears, against all
predictions and expectations based up on medical statistics.

The alternative techniques include, among others:
• Acupuncture
• Massage
• Herbal therapies
• Nutrition and diet
• Fasting (an extreme form of diet)
• Ayurvedic (ancient Indian ) therapies
• Spiritual healers
• Oxygen and ozone therapies
• Meditation and relaxation therapies
• Radionics and electro-magnetic therapies
• Going to famous mineral springs in the mountains (Lourdes in France  for
example), drinking the water and bathing in it.
• removing some blood from the body
• going to bed and inducing sweating
• taking sauna

This list is probably not complete, but nevertheless, just by takin g a look at it, it is hard
to notice the extreme diversity of healing techniques. They range from purely physical
methods concentrating on the physical body (herbs, diet, oxygen, massage,
physiotherapy etc.) to purely spiritual methods, totally ignoring  the physical body
(spiritual healing, meditation etc.). Several techniques (Acupuncture,  Ayurveda)
combine the extraordinary accurate and detailed knowledge of both the mi nd and the
body.
  16  To me, the most striking is the absence of surgery. I think, there  is a reason for it. The
design of our body is actually perfect. The mind-body system as a whole has been
designed to function perfectly, to defend itself against disease, and to rebuild any
damaged parts for as long as we wish. Our wise ancestors did  not try to improve the
design by removing or changing parts.

For orthodox scientists, the most controversial are all spiritual m ethods, in which some
external healer (or even the “patient” himself) controls the he aling of the body by
influencing the state of mind of the patient, and showing his (usually severely inhibi ted)
“subconscious” mind how to perform the required repair job in the most efficient way.

I do not like to use the term “subconscious” here. In my experience, such a state of
mind is in many ways superior to our normal conscious state we ar e used to in our
everyday lives. In my opinion, a better description of it would be a “s tate of higher
consciousness” or a “state of connection to a higher intelligence” or  perhaps a “super-
conscious” state. No words can adequately describe such a state, whic h in itself has
many levels, some quite close to our physical body and some very far from it. Some
initial states of higher consciousness are quite easy to learn, while access to advanced
super- conscious states may require many years of or even a li fe time of practice with
an expert guidance.

Spiritual healing can be the most spectacular of all healing met hods, but only when the
healer is gifted, that is, he has access as well as a comm and of higher state of
consciousness. Examples of such healing experiences are so memor able, that many of
them have been described in the most important documents of human civil ization such
as the Bible and other scriptures, attracting generations of people over many centuries
to create and support various religions.

In more recent times, the reader can find many cases of such heal ing from books
written by professional spiritual healers, like Betty Shine for  example, (see the
References).

Researchers and scientists hate deny and ignore such healing, beca use they cannot
“see” the healing mechanism using their instruments, and they ca nnot create such
healing in their laboratories so they can study it. If only they could attain the “super-
conscious” state themselves – they would not only understand the process  of spiritual
healing, but perhaps they would also change their job.

The last statement requires some explanation. Those scientists w ho negate the existence
and consequences of the state of higher consciousness do so simply beca use they do not
have to access to it. On the other hand, those who are fully enlightene d – never become
scientists, because they see very little purpose in developing the physical scie nces as we
know them today.

To explain this, consider for example why the same scientists, representing the elite of
human knowledge at some stage of development (today), would never think of tr ying to
teach bees to make a perfect nest from carbon fibre. Similarly, after graduating from a  17  university, you would have very little motivation to enroll once again in pr imary school
in order to improve your marks. Attaining higher levels of understanding permanently
changes our perception of reality and direction of development.

Most of the healing techniques listed above, require visits to highly skilled and
informed practitioners. This severely limits access of potential  patients of them,
especially when the medical education system favors certain doc trines and the legal
system creates a tight monopoly for practitioners of such doctri nes by making all other
practices illegal.

For example, the newly amended Australian health legislation, eff ective from 1 July
1994, threatens to severely penalize doctors incorporating into their pra ctice techniques
of natural health such as nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy, ayurvedi c medicine
and relaxation as well as meditation therapy.

In many countries it is illegal to practice medicine without  a license issued by the
system, supporting the prevailing medical doctrine.

In view of this, the best choice for all people is learn to heal  themselves as well as learn
how to avoid diseases in the first place.

The purpose of this chapter is not a comparison or assessment of var ious healing
techniques. Each of them has a deep background in the wisdom and knowledge of
many generations of gifted and enlightened people. Rather than compar ing various
healing techniques, I will try to show the missing link, a common de nominator, uniting
al healing techniques, thereby explaining a key to healing.

I will try to explain how and why the study of all known healing t echniques in one way
or another helped me to understand the fundamental principles of heali ng, resulting in
the method presented further in this book. I will refer to various aspe cts of each of the
healing techniques listed above whenever appropriate.

THE HUMAN BODY – THE  PERFECT HEALER

If you cut yourself with a sharp object, the wound heals  itself  in a few days. If the
damage is not excessive, the repair job is so perfect, that in few weeks you cannot even
find the location of the cut.

All you need to do is not disturb  the healing process – protect the wound from getting
dirty and keep the separated parts together.

Now let us analyse in more detail, what exactly happens in such a healing process.

When you cut yourself it hurts. The


The Self that Lord Krishna teaches about in the Bhagavad-Gita  is an
eternal aspect of human nature that transcends all individuality, all change
in time and space. Speaking of the immortal “dweller in the body,” Krishna
declares,
Weapons cannot cut him,
Fire cannot burn him,
Water cannot wet him,
Wind cannot blow him away....
He is eternal and pervading everything,
Subtle, immovable, and ever the same.
What is important here is that the Self is a real experience.  It is not an
ideal, far removed from ordinary reality—which is how most of us think of
the soul—but as close to you as breath. The Self is love’ s source, and
therefore it is more real than the things that block love—anger, fear,
egotism, insecurity, and mistrust. Those qualities, however widespread they
may be in socie ty, are temporary; they grow up over time and have to be
learned. The Self, by contrast, is secure in peace and safety; it knows only
love because its experience is only of love.
When you interact with another person, you are free to feel anything,
from the deepest hatred to the deepest love. You may be repelled orattracted; you can convey rejection or acceptance. But at the level of the
Self, you always meet another person in love.
The person you love r eflects your shar e of universal love. If you learn to look deep enough, you
will see that your r eality is only love.
In a famous passage the V edas declare,
As is the microcosm, so is the macrocosm,
As is the atom, so is the universe.
As is the human body, so is the cosmic body,
As is the human mind, so is the cosmic mind.
This verse can be simplified to a few words: you are the univers e. Whatever
a person sees in his or her surroundings, from the smallest detail to the
largest panorama, is that person. Reality is a mirror of the soul.
The Vedic tradition divided the world into reality and illusion. Illusion, or
Maya, is composed of transient forces and events. Reality is formed of
spirit. Thus the task set for every  person was to pierce the veil of illusion in
order to discover the spirit in everything. The same task is set before us
now.
Materialism has no room for an assertion like that. After having written
more than a dozen books about the conjunction of mind and body, which
seemed radical a few years ago, I now find myself witness to the weakness
of materialism on all fronts. What is a healing prayer but a successful
attempt to abolish the distinction  between inner and outer reality? What is a
spontaneous remission of cancer but the material body’ s obedience to wisps
of intention entertained by the mind? Einstein’ s physics tells us that
everything that appears solid to our senses is actually 99.999 percent empty
space. The classic Eastern metaphysical description of a spiritual reality
standing behind an empty material illusion suddenly seems very plausible.
My cosm ic grandmother was the person who taught me that the angels
eternally pull against the demons. In her worldview the angels always win
—the world of love is ultimately the one we are born to live in. My
experience has also given me hope that this is true, and out of that hope I
decided to write this book about love.Darkness, however terrible, never fully extinguishes the spark  of light.
One of the most moving love stories I’ve ever read happened between two
enemies in the Holocaust. A devout Catholic was suffering in a hideous
medical “experi ment” being conducted at Auschwitz. She was a young
woman, and as it happened the doctor who presided over her clinical torture
was also a woman, which somehow made her sadism all the more
horrifying. Death came slowly, but at last it came. The young woman
whispered unint elligibly, and the doctor, assuming she was uttering a curse,
drew back. The young woman reached out. She struggled to lift something
from her neck and managed at the last moment to hold it out to her
tormentor. “For you,” she was whispering as she handed her rosary to the
doctor, a last blessing as she departed the world.
Such a story arouses a surge of hope amidst the tears. We woul d all like
to believ e that one redeemed soul can help redeem another, even in the
depths of terrible darkness. If that is true, then love’ s power is as great as
spiritual teaching tells us it is.
I am not proposing in this book that we simply go back in time and adopt
Indian metaphysics—that would be impossible, given the vast changes in
culture over the past few thous and years. Instead I propose that the Vedic
sages were the first to map a path to love, which they called a Sadhana. A
path implies a beginning and an end. In this case the beginning is a reality
in which love is longed for but uncertain, swamped by fear and anger,
overwhelmed by the counterforce of hatred. The end is a reality where
nothing exists but love.
What r emains now is the deepest healing of all, the healing of love.
OceanofPDF.comLOVING  PRACTICE
Making a Soul Bar gain
HEALING THE SPLIT  between love and spirit is the goal of this book, and
periodically I will give practical suggestions to that end. Usually these
“loving practices” are directed  to the reader, but I recommend, where
possible, that you and your beloved both try them.
The first loving practice address es doubts you may have about whether a
“higher” love has any kind of accessible reality. To someone who has never
fallen in love, you cannot prove that the experience exists. There is no
power in words to evoke passion ate romantic love, just as the fragrance of a
rose is meaning less however beautifully you describe it. How much more
alien, then, is the love promised by union with spirit? Look at the following
list of things that love is suppo sed to accomplish, expanded from the list
that appeared earlier in the text:
Love is meant to heal.
Love is meant to renew.
Love is meant to make us safe.
Love is meant to inspire us with its power.
Love is meant to make us certain, without doubt.
Love is meant to oust all fear.
Love is meant to unveil immortality.
Love is meant to bring peace.
Love is meant to harmonize dif ferences.
Love is meant to bring us closer to God.
Even if this list strikes you as unrealistic, or wildly overblown,  I want you
to make  a bargain with love—a soul bargain— that any or all of these things
will come true for you.
Take a piece of paper and write down what you want from love. If it is a
real force, if it is attuned to who you are, love will respond. Make your listas comp lete and specific as you can. I suggest writing down every entry
from the preceding list and beside it just what you want. For example:
Love is meant to heal.
I want to heal my anger toward my father. I want to heal the love I
couldn’ t give to my children when they needed it. I want to heal my hurt
over losing my friend X.
Love is meant to r enew.
I want to feel renewed enthusiasm for my work. I want to renew the
sexual feelings I have for my wife. I want to renew my sense of being
young.
Love is meant to make us safe.
I want to feel safer with other people. I want to feel safe when I go
outdoors for my morning run. I want to feel safe from having X reject me if
I tell him I love him.
Love is meant to inspir e us with its power.
I want my love to be powerful. I want to use all my own power with love.
I want to express love when I feel it and not give in to lower emotions like
fear and anger.
Once you are satisfied that you have detailed everything you want—and
don’t feel afraid to ask too much—the bargain is complete. Put the piece of
paper away in a safe place. You have announced to your soul what you
want, and it is up to love to respond. Love is intelligent and aware; it knows
you better than you know yourself. Therefore it has the power to fulfill its
side of the bargain. Rest easy and be attentive over the next few months.
Don’ t dwell on your list or try to make it come true. There is nothing you
need to do except this:
When you feel love, act on it. Speak your heart. Be truthful. Remain open.This is how you align yourself  with love. At the end of a few months,
take out your list and read it over. Ask yourself how much has come true. I
won’ t say that you will be amazed at what love has actually done—although
many people are—but you will certainly be surprised. Actually asking for
love is one of the most difficult things for anyone to risk, and by risking it
first in your heart, you open a door that will never close again.

There’ s Somebody Out There
“I KNOW WHA T you’re thinking,” Delaney said. “You think I’m too choosy,

• The constructive and destructive power of suggestion
Some illustrations and comments on heterosuggestion:
Heterosuggestion means suggestions from another person. In all
ages the power of suggestion has played a part in the life a nd thought
of man in every period of time and in each country of the earth. I n
many parts of the world it is the controlling power in religi on.
Suggestion may be used to discipline and control ourselves, but i t
can also be used to take control and command over others who do not
know the laws of mind. In its constructive form it is wonderful and
magnificent. In its negative aspects it is one of the most  destructive of
all the response patterns of the mind, resulting in patterns of  misery,
failure, suffering, sickness, and disaster.
• Have you accepted any of these?
From infancy on the majority of us have been given many negative
suggestions. Not knowing how to thwart them, we un-consciously
accepted them. Here are some of the negative sug-gestions: “You
can’t.” “You’ll never amount to anything.” “You mustn’t.” “You’ll
fail.” “You haven’t got a chance.” “You’re all wrong.” “It’s no use.”
“It’s not what you know, but who you know.” “The world is going to
the dogs.” “What’s the use, no-body cares.” “It’s no use trying so
hard.” “You’re too old now.” “Things are getting worse and worse.”
“Life is an endless grind.” “Love is for the birds.” “You just  can’t
win.” “Pretty soon you’ll be bankrupt.” “Watch out, you’ll get the
virus.”
 33  “You can’t trust a soul,” etc.
Unless, as an adult, you use constructive autosuggestion, which is a
reconditioning therapy, the impressions made on you in the past c an
cause behavior patterns that cause failure in your personal a nd social
life.
Autosuggestion is a means releasing you from the mass of negat ive
verbal conditioning that might other-wise distort your life pa ttern,
making the development of good habits difficult.
• You can counteract negative suggestions
Pick up the paper any day, and you can read dozens of items that
could sow the seeds of futility, fear, worry, anxiety, and impending
doom. If accepted by you, these thoughts of fear could cause you to
lose the will for life. Knowing that you can reject all these  negative
suggestions by giving your subconscious mind constructive
autosuggestions, you counteract all these de-structive ideas.
Check regularly on the negative suggestions that people make to
you. You do not have to be influenced by destructive
heterosuggestion. All of us have suffered from it in our child-hood and
in our teens. If you look back, you can easily recall how parents,
friends, relatives, teachers, and associates contrib-uted in a campaign
of negative suggestions. Study the things said to you, and you will
discover much of it was in the form of propaganda. The purpos e of
much of what was said was to con-trol you or instill fear into you.
This heterosuggestion process goes on in every home, office,
factory, and club. You will find that many of these suggestions a re for
the purpose of making you think, feel, and act, as others want you to
and in ways that are to their advantage.
• How suggestion killed a man
Here is an illustration of heterosuggestion: A relative  of mine went
to a crystal gazer in India who told him that he had a bad heart and
predicted that he would die at the next new moon. He began to te ll all
members of his family about this pre-diction, and he arranged his will.
 34  This powerful suggestion entered into his subconscious mind
because he accepted it completely. My relative also told me that this
crystal gazer was believed to have some strange occult p owers, and he
could do harm or good to a person. He died as predicted not knowing
that he was the cause of his own death. I suppose many of us have
heard similar stupid, ridiculous, superstitious stories.
Let us look at what happened in the light of our knowledge of the
way the subconscious mind works. Whatever the con-scious,
reasoning mind of man believes; the subconscious mind will accep t
and act upon. My relative was happy, healthy, vig-orous, and robust
when he went to see the fortuneteller. She gave him a very neg ative
suggestion, which he accepted.
He be-came terrified, and constantly dwelt upon the fact that  he was
going to die at the next new moon. He proceeded to tell every-one
about it, and he prepared for the end. The activity took place in his
own mind, and his own thought was the cause. He brought about his
own so-called death, or rather destruction of the physical body, by his
fear and expectation of the end.
The woman who predicted his death had no more power than the
stones and sticks in the field. Her suggestion had no power to create or
bring about the end she suggested. If he had known the laws of his
mind, he would have completely rejected the negative suggestion an d
refused to give her words any atten-tion, knowing in his heart tha t he
was governed and controlled by his own thought and feeling. Like tin
arrows aimed at a bat-tleship, her prophecy could have bee n
completely neutralized and dissipated without hurting him.
The suggestions of others in themselves have absolutely no power
whatever over you except the power that you give them through your
own thoughts. You have to give your mental con-sent; you have to
entertain the thought. Then, it becomes your thought, and you do the
thinking. Remember, you have the capacity to choose. Choose life!
Choose love! Choose health!

 35  • The power of an assumed major premise
Your mind works like a syllogism. This means that what-ever major
premise your conscious mind assumes to be true de-termines the
conclusion your subconscious mind comes to in regard to any
particular question or problem in your mind. If your premise is true,
the conclusion must be true as in the fol-lowing example:
Every virtue is laudable; Kindness is a virtue; Therefore, kindnes s is
laudable.
Another example is as follows:
All formed things change and pass away; The Pyramids of Egypt
are formed things; Therefore, some day the Pyramids will pass away.
The first statement is referred to as the major premise, and the right
conclusion must necessarily follow the right premise.
A college professor, who attended some of my science of mind
lectures in May, 1962, at Town Hall, New York, said to me,
“Everything in my life is topsy-turvy, and I have lost health, wealth,
and friends. Everything I touch turns out wrong.”
I explained to him that he should establish a major prem-ise i n his
thinking, that the infinite intelligence of his subcon-scious m ind was
guiding, directing, and prospering him spirit-ually, mentally, and
materially.
Then, his subconscious mind would automatically direct him wisel y
in his investments, deci-sions, and also heal his body and restore h is
mind to peace and tranquility.
This professor formulated an over-all picture of the way he wanted
his life to be, and this was his major premise: “Infinite in telligence
leads and guides me in all my ways. Perfect health is mine, and the
Law of Harmony operates in my mind and body. Beauty, love, peace,
and abundance are mine. The principle of right action and divine order
govern my entire life. I know my major premise is based on t he
eternal truths of life, and I know, feel, and believe that my
 36  subconscious mind responds according to the nature of my conscious
mind think-ing.”
He wrote me as follows: “I repeated the above statements slowly,
quietly, and lovingly several times a day knowing that they wer e
sinking deep down into my subconscious mind, and that results must
follow. I am deeply grateful for the interview you gave me, and I
would like to add that all departments of my life are changing f or the
better. It works!”
• The subconscious does not argue controversially
Your subconscious mind is all-wise and knows the answers to all
questions. It does not argue with you or talk back to you. It does not
say, “You must not impress me with that.” For ex-ample, when y ou
say, “I can’t do this.” “I am too old now.” “I can’t meet this
obligation.” “I was born on the wrong side of the tracks.” “I don’t
know the right politician,” you are impregnating your subconsciou s
with these negative thoughts, and it responds accordingly. You are
actually blocking your own good, thereby bringing lack, limitation,
and frustration into your life.
When you set up obstacles, impediments, and delays in your
conscious mind, you are denying the wisdom and intelli-gence
resident in your subconscious mind. You are actually say-ing in


 out of dirty mud -beds, gorgeous lilies grow — So out of bent -old-age, comes vibran t youth! And youth from age, is not a
greater miracle than pure white lilies growing out of mud! In the 50 years I’ve spent helping people to overcome illness, dis ability
and disease, it has become crystal clear that poor bowel management lies at the root of most people’s health problems. In treating
over 300,000 patients, it is the bowel that invariably has to be cared for first before any effective healing can take place.

In times past, knowledge of the bowel was more widespread and people were taught ho w to care for the bowel. Somehow bowel
wisdom got lost and it became something that no one wanted to talk about anymore. By putting the bowel in the closet and maki ng
believe it doesn’t exist, many people have gone down the path of improper living, treatin g the bowel indiscriminately and reaping
the sad harvest in later years. Knowing the ways of keeping the bowel healthy and in good shape is the best way I know to kee p
away from the grip of disease and sickness.

The bowel -wise person is the one who is arm ed with good knowledge, practices discrimination in his eating habits and walks the
path of the higher life. His days are blessed with health, vitality, optimism and the fulfilment of life’s goals. He is a ble ssing and
source of inspiration to family and a ssociates. His cheerful disposition comes from having a vital, toxin -free body made possible
by the efficient, regular and cleansing action of a loved and well -cared for bowel. Every person who desires the higher things in
life must be aware of proper bowe l management; what it is, how it works and what is required. In so doing, you will discover
many secrets of life, develop a positive attitude toward yourself and become the master of body function. *From “Mysterious
Catalytic Foods,” by Brown Landone.

I believe autointoxication is currently the number one source of the misery and decay we are witnessing in our society and cultu re
today. Through it comes the host of uncleanliness, with its entourage of imbalance, derangements, perversions, sickness and
disease. Autointoxication becomes a powerful master over the body, robbing the inhabitant of clear thinking, discrimination,
sound judgement, vitality, health, happiness and loved ones. Its rewards are disillusionment, bitterness, disappointment, fin ancial
chaos and failure. Overcoming the effects of autointoxication can be a long and difficult task. It is much preferred to avoid it  in the
beginning than to have to struggle with the consequences in later life. I believe in educating not medicating.

The topic o f bowel management is a broad one. Many books have been written on the subject. Many different views have been
projected, and there is some confusion about exactly what constitutes proper bowel hygiene. In this book, I give you the best
information current ly available and the accumulated wisdom gathered from a lifetime devoted to natural therapeutics as it relates
to bowel care. I’ve travelled to the farthest corners of the earth searching for the secrets to health and long life and want  to share
with you m y discoveries so that all who will, may partake in the nurturing of these seeds and harvest the benefits of the higher life.
This is a book of experiences that should awaken a person to the realization that the greatest healing power comes from withi n out.
We find that healing comes according to the one law that I have followed in my sanitarium work for years; that is Hering’s La w of
Cure. It states that “All cure starts from within going out and from the head down and in reverse order as the symptoms have
appeared.”

This book takes into consideration one of the first things that has to be managed in our body maintenance program. No one has
ever had a home nor any acreage to take care of in which they did not have to consider the elimination of waste. Years  ago it was
found that many of man’s diseases came from a lack of sanitation. People would let the urine and toxic material from the bowe l
just travel through the streets. This situation attracted many of the diseases that were so prevalent throughout the world at one time.
Sanitation has come about in many ways. Underground sewers take away potentially harmful wastes. Packaging of food has kept i t
sanitary. Boiling, scorching and burning have broken up bacteria effects that could be transferred to the body. We find, however,
that to take care of eliminations properly, we must start in the very beginning to look after these things. We have to stop d umping
waste indiscriminately. We must stop having unsanitary conditions and their effects flowing through our bodies. We have a
sanitation department in our body. We have a cesspool, a sewer, so to speak, and we must keep it clean. We must set it up bac teria-
wise so that we do not get into the disharmony or disease conditions.

This book gives valuable information  about the care of the body from the bowel elimination standpoint in particular. It has been
my work to make sure that upon a patient’s first visit, all the elimination channels are put in good working condition. To tr y to take
care of any symptom in the b ody without a good elimination system is futile. In order to explain this work, I will present to you
just a little bit of the anatomy and physiology of the digestive and eliminative systems and some of the things that possibly  many
are not aware of becaus e they are not generally talked about. The average person doesn’t want to talk about the bowel, and is not
sufficiently informed about this important function of life to avoid the consequences of ignorance in bowel management. But, it is
time we come out a nd talk about this part of the body, which is so much in need of care in this day and age. When we eat foods
that are not whole, when they aren’t raw or don’t contain enough bulk, we are inviting trouble. When we do not have the
lubrication and the moistur e which we find lacking in so much of the food available today, it affects the bowel most adversely.
We know that Grandma always took care of the bowel. She would use sulfur and molasses as one of the old remedies. She would
also use enemas to clear a bloc ked bowel. In days past, people were more familiar with bowel problems and how to care for them.
We’ve gotten away from doing these things today and many people are suffering unnecessary sickness and disease because of it.

This book is offered with the id ea that with this knowledge, an individual can learn what is necessary for proper bowel
management, and to show the results that can be obtained by just taking care of the bowel properly. No doctor should be witho ut
this knowledge; no doctor should practic e any system of healing without considering the care of the five elimination channels
(skin, lymph, kidneys, lungs, and in particular, taking care of the bowel). To this end, I give to you the best and most impo rtant
available knowledge concerning the non -surgical and drugless restoration of normal bowel function.

CORRECT LIVING HABITS
If we lived correctly, there would be no need to concern ourselves with the bowel. However, most of us are not living right. We
don’t eat the right foods, we don’t get the r ight exercise, fresh air and sunshine. There are so many things we’re not doing right, we
can’t expect the bowel to function properly. What are the statistics on disease today, and what are doctors doing about it? V irtually
all of their attention is direct ed to treating physical problems and troubles which are products of bad living habits. Bad living habits
are too often picked up from this modern civilization. When I say modern civilization, I am talking about progress, and we al l like
to think of ourselv es as progressive people. But it is obvious that a lot of things we’ve progressed to are not good for our health,
and this is something we must correct. Doctors are not teaching people to live correctly, and they must begin to do this. I b elieve
every doct or should spend half of his time teaching his patients how to live right. What do our government health departments do?
They watch for disease. They are really “disease departments.” When an epidemic comes along, they try to take care of it. We give
money to organizations and institutions, but do they try to find out how to prevent any disease? I see that one organization was
given a huge grant to study diet and nutrition and their effects on cancer. So, they are going to start by finding out how al cohol
affects cancer. I believe it is reasonable to ask why they aren’t conducting research to find out how to help prevent cancer. O f
course they are going to find that alcohol has a detrimental effect. That is a foregone conclusion. But they’re still not goi ng to tell
you how to prevent cancer, how to keep from getting it or even how to bring on a remission. So, I believe we must turn around.
We must take a new direction in the way we look at health.

AN OUNCE OF EDUCATION IS WORTH A POUND OF TREATMENT
We need to  know how to become healthy and how to stay healthy. There are different kinds of people, and we have to reach each

102 degrees F., but all other findings were negative. In a couple of days they informed me her temperature was normal and she was feeling all right, but she was passing a large (sticky) amount of urine frequently.  Having tried all methods of treatment on several other patients whom I have had within the past few months suffering with glycosuria (sugar in the urine), I decided to try Autotherapy, for I had known cases of icterus (jaundice) which had failed to respond to any medical treatment, but cleared up in a very short time when they were given their own urine to drink.  I gave this little girl three ounces of her own urine three times daily and then examined for the sugar percentage and found that when she was taking the urine, the percentage of sugar dropped, and that when it was withdrawn, the percentage increased. I could also see some improvement in her general condition. She did not urinate so often or so much; did not drink so much water; her skin was more moist, she was not so nervous…”  New Albany Medical Herald by Dr. C.G. Moore  DIABETES  Jaime E. Castañeda: "I thank God I was cured with urine that God gave me. I suffered from diabetes, hypertension, poor circulation from six months to date. I did three fasts and feel like  another person and I changed in character. During the fasts I felt a lot of energy. I had aches all over the body and skin rashes. I got diarrhea and fever. I kept going. The fungi in the feet also disappeared. "  Testimonials of Patients Cured by Urine Therapy http://paraisodelasalud.org/testimonios.htm  DIABETES  Ora. Margarita G. of Guzman { Mexico } "I am 35 years of age. I was diabetic for 11 years with insulin and 3 years with homeopathic medicine. At the moment, I am on no drugs, only the fasting dose of Urine. I am cured totally."  World-wide Case Histories of Urine Therapy by Gary Ward 70  DIABETES  Araceli Ramos C. { Mexico } "Blessed it is God, I have cured myself of diabetes, fungi in the feet and sinusitis by means of Urine therapy. God blesses them follow ahead, thanks."  World-wide Case Histories of Urine Therapy by Gary Ward  DIABETES  Maria of the R.

This I did by means a person whom recommended to me that I drink my Urine and thanks to God already l am cured."  World-wide Case Histories of Urine Therapy by Gary Ward  DIABETES  Irene Alvarez. { Mexico } "I am cured of diabetes taking Urine once in the mornings for one month. After doing a study of my glucose, I find it had lowered. I also felt better in my heart and this was confirmed by the doctor after doing an electrocardiogram."  World-wide Case Histories of Urine Therapy by Gary Ward  DIABETES  Hortensia To Rodriguez {Mexico} "In January 1996 they detected me having diabetes and tested me three times. I started with the Urine-therapy in March. After 15 days I went to do an analysis and I realize that I lowered to 145. Later I stopped the urine therapy and I again initiated it one week ago, because I had a relapse. Now I feel very well."  World-wide Case Histories of Urine Therapy by Gary Ward  DIARRHEA   Mr. V.M., Germany 71 "I'll say it straight off: I do not have any great, miraculous recovery to report. When I was a child, I tasted my urine out of curiosity. It tasted sharp and burned a bit, and I could not imagine that I would ever drink it again. Nevertheless, I heard from a good friend about the positive effects of urine, and after a long period of doubt, I tried it anyway. I woke up one day and knew right away that today would be the day. So I urinated into a glass, smelled it and emptied the glass in one draught. I was amazed. It tasted and smelled neutral. The only thing I found to be unpleasant was the temperature. The following morning, I decided to drink another glass of urine; however, the smell made me dump the urine immediately in the toilet. Only some time later did I consider drinking urine once again --- I had diarrhea, my partner had left me and I felt generally weak. The situation could not get much worse, and so I drank my own fresh urine the whole day. After only two or three glasses, I felt less exhausted and from that moment on, things started improving. Whenever I had trouble drinking urine because of the taste, I held my nose, drank the urine and rinsed with water. Since then, I drink my urine every day and massage my whole body with it. My dry skin is not flaky any more, and I do not have to go through life with skin cream, which was impossible before I started using urine. Furthermore, urine leaves skin with a pleasant, slightly sweet, warm scent. It is interesting to perform a ·urine-test' every morning regarding the colour, smell, taste and substance. In this way, you can learn more about your body, feelings, food, etc. It is also exciting to hear new stories about this 'unusual liquid' and to try out new recipes. For example, when I heard that, long before Christ, people used urine to do the laundry and keep the house clean, I tried an experiment myself. I mixed fresh urine with urine that was approximately 1/22 year old (it smelled like pure ammonia) and used this mixture to wash the windows. It not only dissolved the dirt on the windows, but also the paint spots and a number of other spots which I had not been able to clean with any other cleanser. The same thing happened when I cleaned a mirror with old urine. Moreover, it did not smell dirty, my hands were smooth, I could water the plants with the cleaning water without a guilty conscience, and my windows were perfectly clean! Because I have never been seriously ill, I unfortunately do not have any spectacular recoveries to report, at least not from myself. Even so, I strongly believe that urine therapy is good. This is why I continue to use urine."  The Golden Fountain by Coen van der Kroon  DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS  “He was sick when he was 60. His digestive system and circulatory system had almost gone out-of-order: For about two years be tried allopathy, homoeopathy and Ayurveda without any benefit. So he turned to drinking auto-urine and massage with 7 days old 72 urine. Within two weeks he was considerably cured and in a month’s time he was entirely free of illness.”  from Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel   DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS  “'The lady slipped and fell down. She got some inner injury resulting in disturbance of menstruation. Her system of digestion was also affected and the bowels did not work properly. She developed constipation too. First of all she had allopathic treatment and when it proved useless, Ayurvedic treatment was tried. The troubles could not be cured. Even chromopathy was tried. But due to the absence of diet control and irregular life, the condition of the woman became worse day by day and she was so emaciated that her life was in danger. Some of her relatives advised her to see me. When I observed her for the first time, her condition put me in doubt about the cure and I refused to treat her. But at persistent request, I admitted her to my hospital.  The condition of the patient was then serious. Monthly course had stopped, motions were almost absent and she passed hardly about 6 oz. of urine in 24 hours. It was of deep chocolate colour like that of a hours and was extremely ill-smelling. Inflammation was on her hands, feet, breast and eye-lids. The treatment was commenced on the basis of Armstrong's book but with a slight difference. She was made to drink as much of auto-urine as was possible for her. Warm water was also given. She was daily rubbed with urine and was given a sunbath. After sometime she was given coconut water in place of plain water. With such a treatment, the quantity of urine gradually increased to 70 to 80 oz. The inflammation was gradually reduced and other complaints were also eliminated. Leeches had applied to extract her foul blood. With such a treatment the woman was cured and led a normal life.”  Manav Mootra by R.M. Patel  DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS  “Lance-Corporal L. — 28 years of age.   Joined New Zealand forces 1942.

 want to delve deeply into the kind of life this book describes, who really see all this —
as my  wife Em said at the outset —as a practice.
With or without the Changing Change Program, there are five things that I believe a
person must do to successfully and powerfully implement the Nine Changes That Can
Change Everything:  1. Desire Absolutely
2. Unde rstand Thoroughly
3. Embrace Completely
4. Enact Consistently
5. Share Widely
1. You have to desire to change your life, and the way you experience  your life, more than
anything else in the world. Every creation of God begins with desire. The more powerful
the desire, the more likely the outcome. Desire is an emotion —and emotion is the creative
force of the universe. That it why it is so sad that so many people think that emotions are
things over which they have no control. Deeply desire. That is the first step.
2. What is given to you here is a complete technology for altering your reality and
changing the way you experience change —which means, of course, changing your life,
because life is change and change is life. Study this book thoroughly. If there is any part of it
you do not understand, go to www.ChangingChange.net  and use the resources that have
been placed there to help  you understand it. The Changing Change Process discussed in this
book is not the o nly way to dramatically and wonderfully change your life, but it is a way.
Don’t throw this way away.
3. This is not about partial involvement here. I am reminded of the story of the chicken
and the pig. They were walking down the road one day and they cam e upon a billboard that
read: Ham and Eggs —America’s Favorite Breakfast!  The chicken turned to the pig and
exclaimed, “Look at that! Doesn’t that make you proud?” To which the pig replied, “Well,
that’s easy for you to say. For you it’s partial involvement. For me, it’s total commitment.”
This is about total commitment. This is not about embracing a few of these concepts; this
is about embracing all of it. The thing is, there is a linkage here. One thing leads to another
and depends on it for the whole to m ake sense. You can’t cafeteria -line your own
transformation, taking a concept here and grabbing an idea there. This is the real meal deal.
4. Changing your life means changing your life; it does not mean deciding to change your
life; it does not mean talki ng about changing your life or reading about changing your life.
The Changing Change Process requires not only total embracing of the concepts here, but
consistent and continual application of them, day in and day out, moment to moment. Now
this could soun d like an arduous undertaking, but it need not be. It can be (and, indeed,
always winds up being) a pure joy. Yet you must know what it involves.
One day a guru was teaching his students, when a student said, “Master, you have been
teaching us for months a nd none of us seem to be getting any closer to enlightenment.
What does it take?”
The guru smiled and said, “You must take a sieve to the ocean and fill it with water.”
The students did not understand. They grumbled, “This is not a real guru. Everyone
know s you cannot fill a sieve with water. It runs right out. That’s the problem with what he
teaches, too. It sounds good, but it runs right out.” So his students deserted him.
All but one. A young woman said, “Master, I know the problem is not in your teachin g,
but in my understanding. Help me to understand.”  Filled with compassion, the guru replied, “Come with me.” He took her to a store and
bought a sieve. Then he took her to the shore. “Here,” he instructed, “fill this sieve with
water.”
Eager to learn, she  went to the water’s edge and dipped the sieve into the water. But
when she brought it to him, all the water had run out. He only smiled. “Fill the sieve with
water,” he said quietly, and so she tried again, knowing that he would not ask her to do
somethin g she could not do. But it was no use. She ran back to him as fast as she could with
the sieve, but the water ran out.
“Fill the sieve with water,” he said simply, and she tried once more, this time dipping the
sieve and turning and running back to him so fast that she lost her breath. Still, no water
remained in the sieve. “To hell with this!” she screamed then. “I’m done  with this! I’m done
with this whole life  of being a spiritual student! ” She threw the sieve fiercely into the air and
stomped away.
“Wai t!” the guru called. “Look.”
The young woman turned just in time to see the sieve riding the ocean waves... then
sinking beneath the surface and disappearing. The guru approached the student. “You
cannot just dip in here and dip in there. This is not ab out dipping and running. You have to
throw yourself in. You have to be totally immersed.”
And the student understood.
5. The way to make it easy to get where you want to go is to travel with others who are
also going there. You do not have to “go it alone. ” First you can get help, then you can give
help, by joining an online community of people from all over the world who are going
where you are going —and helping each other get there.
Em and I have created just such an online community. I have spoken about this several
times in the text, and I will now mention it once again. It is the Changing Change Network,
and it is located at www.Chan gingChange.net.

Here is what I know about all of this: We are all in this Moment of Change together. The
work we are invited to do is our work, not just your work or mine. If we do this work of
person al transformation together, we can transform not only ourselves, but the world
entire. If we only  transform ourselves but not anyone else, we will not have moved very far
in what we came here to do. For we are all one (the very first message of Conversatio ns with
God). What we do for another we do for ourselves, and what we fail to do for another we
fail to do for ourselves.

 chapters, half measures w ill avail you nothing. You are at the
point where you must ask God for guidance. These are the steps, which are suggested
as a method of spiritual recovery:
1. Accept the fact that you are afflicted with a symptom (malignant cancer) and
that recovery is possible.
2. Establish a faith in a power greater than yourself and know that with His help
you can regain health and harmony.
3. Make the decision to turn your w ill and your life over to the care of God.
4. Conduct a complete self-analysis to better understand your own emotions.
5. Admit to God, to yourself, and to others the exact nature of what you find to
be your shortcomings.
6. Be willing to give up what you are doing wrong.
7. Seek through prayer to improve your conscious contact with God. Pray only
for knowledge of His w ill for you and the strength to carry that out.
Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of this action, practice these principles
in your every thought. Just as the body must be purged and cleansed, so must the
emotions and spirit be purified. This is a comparatively simple task to accomplish, but
do not lull yourself into believing that it is an easy task. Rigorous self-discipline and
the ability to grasp and develop a manner of living with complete honesty in all of
your actions and thought are necessary. You must become strong willed to be a
winner in accomplishing that which you set out to do for yourself. You w ill look for
all the good in everything and refuse to accept any negation.

B ody Detoxification
Before any disease can be cured,
th e  w aste p ro d u cts and im p u ritie s  m ust be cleansed fro m  th e  body.
The sooner th is is done, th e  sooner th e  b o dy can begin re p a irin g  itself.
Body Detoxification
In reality, a person very rarely dies of cancer. It is always starvation and toxicity. As
the malignant tumor grows it gives off waste products, which must be eliminated
through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs and skin. These waste products accumulate
and gradually overburden the body. Most persons then die of toxemia.
Before any disease can be cured, the waste products and impurities must be
cleansed from the body. The sooner this is done, the sooner the body can begin
repairing itself.
Dr. Kelley recommends that you begin the detoxification process even before you
have the nutritional supplements in your possession. It is absolutely imperative that
the patient carefully follows the detoxification process after the supplements begin
stimulating the release of wastes and debris.
Scientists have calculated that a person has between 70 and 100 trillion cells in his
or her body. This means we have over 70 trillion "garbage cans" needing to be
emptied. In our culture we have not made allowances for, nor taught ourselves, the
proper techniques of emptying these waste receptacles. It is no wonder that the
people of our nation are so sick! Proper and thorough detoxification is just as
important as good nutrition for anyone who has lived in the mainstream of a modern
technological civilization for 10 or more years, and especially for anyone who has
developed symptoms of a chronic degenerative disease.
The intensive program of concentrated nutrients outlined in this book w ill begin to
make nutritional factors available to the cells, which they may not have had for many
years. Consequently, cellular metabolism will speed up and an increased amount of
metabolic waste will be dumped into the bloodstream. Most people's organs of
elimination do not function well enough to handle this increase in waste. If it
accumulates in the bloodstream, one w ill not feel well and the cells will not be able
to utilize the fresh nutrients being provided by the nutritional program.
84
Winning The Cancer War
When one eats food, it is digested in the mouth, stomach, and intestinal tract. In
the intestinal tract, the digested food is absorbed into the bloodstream, which takes it
close to each individual cell. The food, along with oxygen, is transferred into the cell.
In the cell, nutrients are metabolized into energy, carbon dioxide, water, and waste
products of metabolism. It is the accumulation of these wastes, which frequently
interferes with normal functions of the cells.
Principal factors necessary for a pure bloodstream are pure air, pure water, pure
food, and the presence of oxygen brought in by exercise appropriate to your
cardiovascular capacity.
As the cells produce metabolic debris, the blood carries it to the organs of
detoxification. These organs are the liver, kidneys, lungs, skin, many of the mucous
membranes, and the colon. If these organs of detoxification are themselves filled with
debris, they of course cannot accept any more toxins. In such a case, the blood
cannot accept further debris from the cells and, before long, there are 70 to 100
trillion garbage cans completely full.
It is like the city dump being filled to capacity and not accepting any more garbage
trucks. Then one's home becomes overloaded with garbage, which shortly interferes
with normal functions of one's household. Before long, the entire community has
become bogged down. "Clean blood" then, acting as a highway for the garbage
trucks, is dependent upon the organs of detoxification.
The Master Gland of Detoxification
The liver is the major organ of detoxification, and also the most stressed by our
modern lifestyle. One cannot live long without the heart, brain, kidneys, or pancreas,
yet it is proper liver function, which prevents these organs from becoming diseased.
Here, in addition to metabolic wastes, is where environmental contamination, food
additives, and all other chemical pollutants are removed from the body.
You should be just as much or more concerned about the condition of your liver as
about the condition of your heart. If you have had hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver,
infectious mononucleosis, or other liver damage, you should become very protective
of this vital organ. The intake of anything that places undue stress on the liver should
be eliminated entirely.
Such a list would include: chemicals of any kind; drugs; synthetic foods; artificial
food additives, such as flavorings, colorings, preservatives, emulsifiers, stabilizers,
sweeteners; alcoholic beverages; carbonated beverages; hair sprays; chemical
deodorants; and reheated vegetable oils used in frying, commercial pastries, and most
fast foods. (Unrefined oils, or butter for sauteing, can be used without creating

peroxides and free radicals, which are toxic to the liver.)
Major functions of this incredibly complex organ include:
• Metabolizing essential fats (cholesterol, triglycerides, lipoproteins) and thus
preventing their accumulation in the bloodstream where they often form
deposits on blood vessel walls (atherosclerosis).
• Synthesizing the bulk of necessary blood proteins.
• Breaking down and eliminating most drugs and environmental poisons.
• Secreting a fluid (bile) which stores in the gall bladder or the enlarged bile duct
and empties into the small intestine.
The bile acts as a carrier for all liver wastes. It is also essential for the proper
digestion and assimilation of fats and all fat-soluble nutrients such as vitamins A, D, E,
K, lecithin, and essential fatty acids. The gall bladder is a hollow muscular organ
which stores and concentrates bile and is attached to the undersurface of the liver.
When a meal is eaten, especially if it contains some fats or oils, the gall bladder is
stimulated to contract and should freely expel its contents into the small intestine to
emulsify fatty nutrients for proper absorption, and to allow poisonous wastes which
the liver has removed from the body to be eliminated through the intestines.
Liver Congestion
Many people living in our society today, even those in their teens, fail to have free,
unobstructed flow of bile from the liver and gall bladder in response to food entering
the small intestine. Eating refined or processed foods, eating fresh food which is
mineral deficient because it is grown on depleted or chemically treated soil, lack of
regular vigorous exercise, stress, multiple distractions during meals, and many other
unnatural aspects of our lifestyle have combined to alter the chemistry of bile so that
formation of solid particles from bile components is a commonplace occurrence
among Americans.
These solid particles remain in the gall bladder or the base of the liver for many
years and become progressively harder, sometimes calcifying into "gallstones." Long
before this occurs, however, metabolic problems are under way. When a significant
number of solid bile particles accumulate, the free flow of the gallbladder is
diminished, causing progressive stagnation and congestion of the liver. The body
begins to suffer the effects of poor assimilation of fat-soluble nutrients, which


 productive thought and
behavior. A friend of mine recently spent a week on an island off
the coast of Connecticut. The woman enjoys taking long walks, and
soon discovered that the island was populated by many dogs who
were allowed to run wild. She decided to fight her fear and worry
that they might somehow bite her or even tear her limb from
limb—the ultimate calamity. She carried a rock in her hand (insur-
ance) and decided to show no sign of fear as the dogs approached.
She even refused to slow down when the dogs growled and came
running toward her. As the dogs charged forward and encountered
someone who refused to back down, they gave up and ran away.
While I am not advocating dangerous behavior, I do believe that an
effective challenge to a fear or worry is the most productive way to
eradicate it from your life.THE USELESS EMOTIONS—GUILT AND WORRY  / 115These are some techniques for eliminating worry in your life. But
the most effective weapon you have for wiping out worry is your
own determination to banish this neurotic behavior from your life.
Final Thoughts on Worry and Guilt
The present moment is the key to understanding your guilt and
worry activities. Learn to live now and not waste your current mo-
ments in immobilizing thoughts about the past or future. There is
no other moment to live but now, and all of your futile guilt and
worry are done in the elusive now.
Lewis Carroll in Alice Through the Looking Glass  talked about living
in the present.
“The rule is, jam tomorrow, and jam yesterday…but never jam
today.”
“It must come sometimes to ‘jam-today,’ ” Alice objected.
How about you? Any jam today? Since it must come sometime,
how about now?116 / Your Erroneous ZonesVI
EXPLORING THE
UNKNOWN
Only the insecure strive for security.
You may be a safety expert—an individual who shuns the un-
known in favor of always knowing where he is going, and what he
can expect when he gets there. Early training in our society tends to
encourage caution at the expense of curiosity, safety at the expense
of adventure. Avoid the questionable, stay in areas that you know,
never wander into the unknown. These early messages can become
a psychological barrier that prevents your own personal fulfillment
and present-moment happiness in countless ways.
Albert Einstein, a man who devoted his life to exploring the un-
known, said in an article entitled “What I Believe” in Forum  (October
1930),
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.
It is the true source of all art and science.
117He might also have said it is the source of all growth and excite-
ment as well.
But too many people equate the unknown with danger. The pur-
pose of life, they think, is to deal with certainty, and to always know
where they are headed. Only the foolhardy risk exploring the fuzzy
areas of life, and when they do, they end up being surprised, hurt,
and worst of all, unprepared. As a young scout you were told to Be
Prepared.  But how can you prepare for the unknown? Obviously,
you cannot! Therefore avoid it and you’ll never end up with egg on
your face. Be safe, don’t take risks, follow the road maps—even if it
is dull.
Perhaps you’re getting tired of all that certainty, knowing what
every day will be like before it has been lived. You can’t grow if you
already know the answers before the questions have even been
asked. Probably the times you most remember are those in which
you were spontaneously alive, doing whatever you wanted, and
delightfully anticipating the mysterious.
We hear the cultural messages of certainty throughout life. They
began with family and are reinforced by educators. The child learns
to avoid experimentation and is encouraged to avoid the unknown.
Don’t get lost. Have the right answers. Stay with your own kind. If
you still cling to these fearful encouragements to security, now is
the time to break free. Get rid of the idea that you can’t try out new
and doubtful behavior. You can if you choose to. It begins with an
understanding of your conditioned reflex to avoid new experiences.
Openness to New Experiences
If you believe in yourself fully, no activity is beyond your potential.
The entire gamut of human experience is yours to enjoy, once you
decide to venture into territory where you don’t have guarantees.
Think of the people who are regarded as geniuses and were spectac-
ularly effective in their lifetimes. They weren’t people who could
do only one thing well. They weren’t individ-118 / Your Erroneous Zonesuals who avoided the unknown. Benjamin Franklin, Ludwig van
Beethoven, Leonardo da Vinci, Jesus Christ, Albert Einstein, Galileo,
Bertrand Russell, George Bernard Shaw, Winston Churchill, these
and many like them were pioneers, adventurers into new, unreliable
areas. They were people, just like you, set apart only in that they
were willing to traverse areas where others dared not tread. Albert
Schweitzer, another Renaissance Man, once said, “Nothing human
is alien to me.” You can look at yourself with new eyes, and open
yourself up to experiences that you’ve never even considered as a
part of your own human potential, or you can do the same things,
the same way, until you reach your coffin. It is a fact that great men
remind you of no other, and their greatness is generally discernible
in the quality of exploration and the boldness with which they ex-
plored the unknown.
Opening yourself up to new experiences means surrendering the
notion that it is better to tolerate something familiar than to work
at changing it because change is fraught with uncertainty. Perhaps
you’ve adopted a stance that the self (you) is fragile, and easily
shattered if you enter areas where you’ve never been before. This is
a myth. You are a tower of strength. You are not going to collapse
or fall apart if you encounter something new. In fact, you stand a
much better chance of avoiding psychological collapse if you elim-
inate some of the routine and sameness in your life. Boredom is de-
bilitating and psychologically unhealthy. Once you lose interest in
life you are potentially shatterable. You won’t choose that mytholo-
gical nervous breakdown if you add a little spicy uncertainty to your
life.
You may also have adopted the “if it’s unusual I must stay away
from it” mentality, which inhibits your openness to new experiences.
Thus, if you see deaf people using sign language, you watch with
curiosity but never attempt to converse with them. Similarly, when
you encounter people who speak a foreign language, rather than
work it out and attempt somehow to communicate, you very likely
just wander off, and avoid the vast unknown of communicating in
other than your own spokenEXPLORING THE UNKNOWN  / 119language. There are uncountable activities and people who are
considered taboo merely because they are unknown. Thus homo-
sexuals, transvestites, the handicapped, the retarded, nudists and
the like, are in the category of the obscure. You are not quite certain
how to behave, and therefore you avoid the entire business.
You may also believe that you must have a reason for doing
something; otherwise what’s the point of doing it? Balderdash! You
can do anything you want just because you want to, and for no
other reason. You don’t need a reason for anything that you do.
Looking for a reason for everything is the kind of thinking that keeps
you from new and exciting experiences. As a child you could play
with a grasshopper for an hour, for no reason but that you liked it.
Or you could climb a hill, or take an exploratory trip in the woods.
Why? Because you wanted to. But as an adult, you have to come up
with a good reason for things. This passion for reasons keeps you
from opening up and growing. What freedom to know that you
don’t have to justify anything to anyone, including yourself, ever
again.
Emerson, in his Journal of April 11, 1834, observed
Four snakes gliding up and down a hollow for no purpose that
I could see. Not to eat. Not for love…But only gliding.
You can do whatever you want because you want to and for no
other reason. This kind of thinking will open up new vistas of exper-
ience and help to eliminate the fear of the unknown that you may
have adopted as a life-style.
Rigidity vs. Spontaneity
Take a hard look at your spontaneity. Can you open up to some-
thing new or do you rigidly hang onto your accustomed be-120 / Your Erroneous Zoneshavior? Spontaneity means being able to try anything, at the spur
of the second, just because it is something you’d enjoy. You may
even discover that it’s something you don’t enjoy doing but you did
enjoy attempting it. It is likely that you will be condemned as irre-
sponsible or incautious, but what does the judgment of others matter
when you’re having such a marvelous time discovering the un-
known. There are many people in high places who find it difficult
to be spontaneous. They live out their lives in a rigid fashion, oblivi-
ous to the absurdities they blindly follow. Democrats and Republic-
ans support the statements of top party leaders and vote the party
line. Cabinet officials

ail troubles cre.ated by impure blood and bile.
Ayu(veda mentions 20 diseases caused by phlegm. The troubles
like drowsiness, excess of sleep, lethargy, wateriness of mouth,
desire ·for hot· food-stuffs, er.'"'e!'s of urine, dullness, absence of
hunger are the effects of phlegm. In these disorders urine treatment is
very advisable. In them repeated vomiting and fast and a fatless diet
excluding milk, ghee, cheese, oil and sweets are useful.
According to Ayurveda a number of diseases are caused by the
trouble of the gas. The gas or the Prana has been called •fuel for the ·
machinery of the body' and it sustains the body. In the medical
terminology it is equivalent to nervous system and nerve-force. Any
, kind of gas-disorders results in diseases of the sense organs. Gas
trouble is dominant even in the diseases of bile and phlegm.
Needless to say that urine treatment is useful in all these troubles.'·
Gas is caused by sleeping in day-time, strenuous physical labour,
sex-indulgence, waking in the night, worry, mourning, neglecting
natore's call, eating sour things, loss of appetite and injury to the
tender parts of the body. Dry, cold and insufficient food also cause
gas trouble.
Urine treatment is extremely useful in troubles due to phlegm.
Permanent.cold, chronic asthma, heart-trouble, loss of appetite and
indigestion can be effectively treated by urine if it is accompanied
with fasting, vomiting and dry food. Once should not be scared of
fasting. The organism can very well withstand fast as long as
foreign matters are present in the body. The foreign matter is
completely eliminated when heaviness in the body, loss of appetite,
indigestion, congestion of urine and stools are removed and the
patient develops good appetite' for food. At this stage light diet can
taken. This is why treatment prescribes fast.
Naturopathy is generally regareded as. a foreign system of
healing. Its techniques are also more of'less similar to urine therapy.
Naturopathy has beEm w€11 adovocated in Ayurveda. also. It is
unfortunate that we do not understand the simple principles of 192 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY
Ayurveda. There was a time when fasting cure was commonly
practised in India as a natural way of healing. But fasting did not
mena only abstaining from food. Charak says-
11The fasting cure includes four kinds of purification, (vomiting,
purgation, douche and elimination of impure blood), control of
excessive thirst, airbath, sunbath, treatment by digestion-stimulants,
fast (abstention from food) and physical exercise." (Charak Sutra
Ch. 22. Verse 18) ·
A second meaning of 1Langhan1, -the Sanskirt synonym of fast,
is, any metho::l by which lightness is acquired by the body. But
nowadays, as said earlier 1Langhan1 is taken for fast only. If fast is
necessary for a patient, the physician should look into his vitality.
Fasting should not b~ prolonged for such a long period as it may
sack 1thc life substance1 itself. Care should also be taken to preserve
the strenght ofthe patient because it gives the power of resistance.
Fasting can serve no real purpose ifth2 strength of the patient fails.
A disease is like a red signal to a moving train. In is nature1s
warning for rest. The patient should therefore suspend all activties
of visiting, sefvice, study, etc. and take rest in bed with a peaceful
mind to relax the bodily organs.
Orange juice is generally prescribed these days during any
illness. But sweet juice should be avoided in the diseases due to
phlegm as it is cough-producing. It is contra-indicated in cases of
asthma, cold, catarrh and ir.diges~ion. Moreover the poor cannot
easily affo~~· fur.h costly fruits. In the Indian system of medicine, in
the place of orange juice, lentil soup and vegetable soup containing
garlic, ginger, black pepper, Dhania, Gira, etc. is prescribed.
Ginger, garlick and black pepper are extremely useful for patients
suffering from phlegm.
Bitter juices are advisable for patients suffering from excess of

CHAPTER VI
THE BEST l\1_EANS TO PHYSICAL HEALTH
By Dr. Maganlal 0. Sa/aria
When Rudra cut off Daksha1s head,.the Ashvinikumaras rejoined
it at the request of the gods. Shankar also joined the head of his son
which he had cut himself. Such examples are plenty in Ayurveda
and mythology. It indicates that both gods and demons possessed
the knowledge of Ayurveda. There was a competition between them
and each party tried to excel the opponent in the developm~nt of ·
Ayurveda. They were in search of a method whereby every d1sease
could be cured with the minimum of medicine. The sag~ Atrey in
Charak Samhita has specified the uses of urine and herbs for curing
diseases.On the other hand Lord Shiva and his· foliowers have
prescribed iron, poisons, pearls, jewels, ruby etc. in their system of
treatment. At the end, they have proved that mercury alan can cure
all diseases.
In Europe they have done a good number of experiments and
researches in order to reduce the number of medicines. First of all.
Dr. Hanemann created the system of homoeopathy. He showed to
the world, that the medicines prescribed by allopathy and taken in
large doses has the opposite effect than when taken in very small
quantity (in high potency) as prescribed in homoeopathy. For
example op1u-m is useful for stopping motions but the same taken
according to the system of homoeopathy removes constip~ti_on. Later
on his disciple Suschler confined himself to twelve med1cmes only
fer· treating all diseases. In America Dr. Burgess invented
Epsompathy and successfully cured many types of maladies by 194 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY
epsom salt. Out of this salt, he made seven preparations which are
applicable to-all types of diseases. In 1921, when lwas a student in
National Medical ~allege (Bombay), I knew a famous Vaidya
treating· all the diseases with only three medicines. While sitting' in
his clinic, he u~d to keep only three bottles on his table labelled
as Vataghna (cure for bile trouble) Pittaghan (cure for bile. trouble)
and. Kaphaghna (cure for phlegm.) He·used to feel patient's pulse
and prescrible a mixture of the three in due proportion for internal'
and external use. I tried my best to know the' secret of the above
three medicines but he did not disclose it till the end. This mentality.
