 wasn't actually the
truth, but they became aware of the fact that including these vegetables in the diet did
play a role and they were trying to explain it. We're in the same situation now with cancer. Someday, in the near future, it will
dawn on the medical community that diet does make quite a difference in people
with cancer, and greatly affects health in general. It can't happen too soon. When it
does, a lot of lives will be saved and a lot of lives will be lived more healthfully. Eighty-six percent of all cancers could be controlled and/or prevented
by diet and pancreatic enzymes. At least 86% of all cancer conditions could be adequately treated and/or
prevented by diet and pancreatic enzymes. Cancer is a symptom of inadequate and
deficient protein metabolism. The real problem is protein metabolism, not cancer. Cancer is only a symptom telling those who would listen that their protein
metabolism is in very serious trouble. Surgery, radiation and chemotherapy only treat
the symptoms of cancer. One hundred years ago Dr. John Beard at the University of Edinburgh discovered
that the body's primary mechanism for destroying cancer is contained in pancreatin,
a secretion from the pancreas that includes enzymes for digesting protein (among
other things). Enzymes digest or liquefy foods for absorption by the body. Dr. Beard
presented pictures in his books and papers to show recoveries using pancreatin. This
was an unprecedented approach to treating the symptoms of cancer — a direct attack

on the malignancy with a substance that did not have toxic side effects on the other
functions of the body. Dr. Howard Beard, Ph.D. (no relation-retired a chemistry professor) of Fort Worth,
Texas has contributed considerably to the understanding and use of pancreatic
enzymes in the treatment of cancer. He and other researchers indicated that where
cancer is concerned trypsin and particularly chymotrypsin are the important enzymes
in pancreatin. Dr. Beard also recommended a nutritional program and other things, as
stated in his book: A New Approach to Cancer, Rheumatic, and Heart Diseases. Cancer Compared to Diabetes
1. Diabetes is a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism due to inadequate
production or utilization of insulin. Cancer is a disorder of protein metabolism
due to inadequate production or utilization of protein digesting enzymes. 2. Insulin is produced in the pancreas. Protein digesting enzymes are produced in
the pancreas. 3. A neurological process controls insulin production. A neurological process
controls enzyme production. 4. Diabetes can often be controlled by diet alone. Cancer can often be controlled
by diet alone. 5. Diabetes can almost always be controlled by the proper dosage of insulin. Cancer can almost always be controlled by proper dosage of protein digesting
enzymes. 6. A diabetic patient can live a long useful life and never die as the result of
diabetes. A cancer patient can live a long and useful life and never die as the
result of cancer. 7. A diabetic patient must control his diabetes the rest of his life by diet or
medication or a combination of both. A cancer patient must control his cancer
the rest of his life by diet and protein digesting enzymes. 8. The diabetic patient and the cancer patient alike must seek professional help to
determine and regulate the condition, but it is up to the individual to
administer to himself the proper diet and missing medication and/or
supplements. 31
Winning The Cancer War
The Four Laws of Cancer
You cannot have cancer unless three factors are present:
1. The presence of an Ectopic germ cell
2. The stimulating presence of the female sex hormones
3. A deficiency of active pancreatic enzymes
For cancer to be cured, there must be a positive change in the
physiology of the patient. First Law
The body fails to produce an adequate amount of active pancreatic
enzymes for one of three reasons:
1. 83% — Overworking the pancreas by the intake of too much protein
2. 10% — Neurological injury to pancreatic enzyme production
3. 7% — Malfunction of body chemistry inactivating the enzymes
Second Law
Protein is gradually sapped from muscles
Our research indicates that in 93% of all cancer cases the development of cancer is
gradual. The average cancer patient has had cancer 39 months before it is clinically
diagnosed. The important factor here is not that it is slow growing, but rather what
happens to the body during this growth time — the body must have protein to live,
but during this 39 months the body could not get enough protein from its food
supply. Therefore, to keep the blood protein at a minimal level to sustain life, the
body very gradually saps or destroys the muscles of the body. Third Law
Damaged tissue and female hormones at the site of a latent, misplaced
Ectopic germ cell set the scene for cancer
At this point the conditions are ripe for the symptom cancer to develop. All that is
32
Winning The Cancer War
needed is something to stimulate the female sex hormone formation at the site of a
misplaced Ectopic germ cell. This is most often done by scar formation caused by a
blow, a bruise, a drop of tar in the lung, a sun burn, an overdose of X-ray, or anything
else that can cause a normal scar formation procedure to take place in the body — at
the site of a latent Ectopic germ cell. This is normal wear and tear of the body, which
happens to each of us every day; it is only when our protein metabolism is deficient
that the symptom cancer develops. Now the Ectopic germ cell mistakenly thinks it is time to have a baby and starts
growing a placenta (cancer) in preparation for a baby that never develops. The only
trouble is, without proper amounts of pancreatic enzymes circulating in our
bloodstream to dissolve this abnormal placenta; it keeps growing and does not stop. When the patient finally consults the physician the condition of cancer is announced
and surgery, radiation and chemotherapy are recommended. Fourth Law
For cancer to be cured there must be a positive change in the physiology
of the patient
If nothing changes in the physiology of the patient, the cancer grows until it
destroys the body. If something positive changes in the physiology of the patient one
of two things can happen:
1. One person with cancer lasts a long time while another person with the same
type of cancer goes rapidly — and, before now, no one knew why. 2. The right combination of circumstances occurs, and the cancer is dissolved or
"cured." This book answers the question: " What is the right combination of
circumstances?" 33
D o I Have Cancer? If  our nation can put a man on the moon
and place a satellite in orbit for the banks and stock markets
to transfer money and assets out of the country, tax free...
Why hasn't the cure for cancer been found? It has! Have you ever asked yourself... If our nation can put a man on the moon and place a satellite in orbit for the
banks and stock markets to transfer money and assets out of the country — tax free —
why hasn't the cure for cancer been found? It has! Biopsy
The only accepted legal medical diagnosis of cancer is by biopsy. This is not
100% accurate, for there are false positives as well as false negative biopsies. We,
that is you and I, are not permitted to make a diagnosis of cancer. Nor are we
permitted by law to use any system of diagnosis except biopsy for cancer diagnosis. The Medical Establishment tightly controls the diagnosis of cancer. Everybody Has Cancer
Each day each one of us has a "Cancer" start and develop in our body. This is a
normal ongoing process each one of us experiences. Usually, our normal metabolic
defense system takes care of these wayward cancer cells and we go about our daily
lives unaware that any of this is taking place. It is when our normal metabolic
defense system or clean-up crew cannot handle this normal body process that we
begin to develop a tumor or mass which can eventually be found by ourselves or our
physician. Before this happens, you can easily determine the failure of your defense
system and the beginning of "Cancer" — Malignant Tumor Masses — by using the
following simple Pancreas Self-Examination. 34
Winning The Cancer War
Dr. Kelley's Self-Examination Procedure
There are only three who care about you: God, yourself and sometimes
your mother. The Establishment has finally come to strongly encourage all of us to practice
self-examination for Cancer. Women are told to examine their breasts once a month. All of us are told to carefully examine for lumps and bumps and skin changes. This
helps us become aware of our body and seek medical care early if needed. We have
had, from the first publication of this book in 1967, the self-examination for the
earliest possible development of pancreatic malfunction. When this occurs, within 2
to 4 years one always develops a Malignant Tumor Mass, which the Medical
Community, in error, labels Cancer. You give yourself control with Dr. Kelley's Self-Examination Procedure of one's
pancreas. If one finds one's pancreatic malfunction in time to properly treat it, one
will have to do it for one's self. Dr. Kelley's Self-Examination of one's pancreas finds
pancreas malfunction long before Malignant Tumor Masses form. You have the


uck	in	a	rut	on	my	spiritual	path	as	opposed	to	being	sped	up	on	it. Wrecked	half	the	time,	I	rarely	showed	up	as	my	best	for	anyone. Healthy	boundaries
are
	loving;	they	show	respect	both	to	the	person	who
sets	them	and	to	the	person	who’s	asked	to	honor	them. I	think	it’s	best	to
seek	a	balanced	life,	at	peace	with	ourselves	and	our	own	loved	ones;	then
when	we	do	turn	our	attention	to	the	world,	we	can	bring	so	much	more	to	it. We	bring	a	higher	version	of	ourselves. According	to
A	Course	in	Miracles,
	sacrifice	has	no	place	in	God’s
universe. Taking	care	of	ourselves	in	a	righteous	way
is
	meaningful	service	to
a	greater	task	because	we	cannot	give	what	we	cannot	be. From	that	space	of
peace,	and	the	moderate	behavior	it	produces,	comes	more	than	enough
money	and	time	and	energy	to	give	to	the	world. Service	is	very	serious	work,
but	codependency	it	is	not. So	how,	then,	do	we	live	for	others? The	best	I	can	come	up	with	is	that
service	is	a	way	of	being. It	means	I	can	make	the	person	who	just	carried	my
bags	into	the	hotel	room	feel	how	much	I	truly	appreciate	what	he	did	for	me. Tip	him	generously	as	well,	of	course,	but	match	the	tip	with	an	attitude	of
honor	for	what	he	does. Both	are	important. It	means	that	in	any	moment,	as
part	of	my	spiritual	practice,	I	can	do	what	I	can	to	show	love	and	respect	for
the	person	in	front	of	me,	or	on	the	phone	with	me,	or	whatever. Most	of	us	have	more	contact	with	other	human	beings	each	day	than	we
might	realize,	and	with	every	encounter,	there’s	a	chance	for	a	miracle. There’s	the	person	behind	the	counter	when	you	bought	your	coffee. The
person	on	the	phone	when	you	made	that	call	about	getting	your	dryer
serviced. The	person	who	washes	the	windows	in	your	office	building. It
might	not	seem	like	much,	this	tiny	little	droplet	of	compassion	added	to	the
universe	when	you	show	up	more	kindly,	but	the	important	point	is	not	what	it
did	for	the	universe. The	point	is	what	it	did	for
you
—it	changed
you
—and
that	is	how	it	shifts	your	world.Holiness	is	determined	by	a	shift	in	purpose. Anything	we	do	that	honors
only	ourselves	is	simply	a	spiritual	dead	end. There’s	no	cosmic	blessing
supporting	it. But	anything	done	with	others	in	mind—even	if	it	involves
caring	for	ourselves	so	we	can	be	more	prepared	and	available	for	service	to
others—carries	the	blessing	of	a	loving	universe. Consider	a	vacation,	for	instance. It	betters	you	to	give	your	body	and	mind
a	rest	every	once	in	a	while. A	holiday	increases	the	healthy	bonds	among
partners,	mates,	friends,	and	family. The	principle	of	service	doesn’t	require
you	to	avoid	joyous	opportunities;	if	anything,	joyous	people	are	more
productive. The	more	you	care	for	the	world	around	you,	the	more	the
universe	is	likely	to	provide	the	rest	that	feeds	your	soul	and	keeps	you	going. There’s	time	for	fun,	and	there’s	time	for	work. The	relationship	between
the	two	seems	to	be	a	pattern	within	all	natural	systems;	you	can	feel	it	in
your	gut	whether	you’re	on	or	off	track. When	your	life	is	all	fun	and	no
work,	you	feel	unclean	somehow. When	it’s	all	work	and	no	fun,	you’re	out	of
balance	and	hardly	of	use	to	anyone. In	fact,	it’s	because	the	problems	of	the
world
are
	so	serious	that	we	need	to	do	whatever	it	takes	to	lighten	up
sometimes. One	of	the	ways	you	know	you’re	in	the	flow	is	if	you’re
seriously	of	service	and	seriously	enjoying	yourself	at	the	same	time. It	feels
right	because	it

to	have	been	preparation	for	an	even	greater	success—the	means	by	which

 of this, the person is
worthless, so they say, "I am just a worm, and God
couldn't possibly have any interest in me. IfHe exists
at all, He would just be a God who ignores me." What about the fearful person who holds the
energy field of Fear? We see that they are the creator
of that, the owner, and the source. The emotions of
worry, anxiety, panic, and the deflation of self-esteem
lead them to see this as a frightening world. As they
walk down the street, they see danger everywhere. They open the newspaper with alarm and read about
bankruptcy and murder. They walk down the street
and see automobile accidents and the potential for
starvation. The God ofa frightening field of conscious
. ness would be a very punitive one who really sort of
hates them and throws them into the world of an end
less nightmare. The creator of such a nightmare is a
very punitive God of revenge and retaliation and
becomes the punisher. As we move up into Desire at 125, the area of the
solar plexus, there are craving, wantingness, and what
makes Sammy run, and there is no satisfying it. No
matter what the person gets, it is not enough.The mil
lionaire has fifty million dollars and is going for sixty
million. He has sixty and is going for seventy. He never
gets to the end of the road for there is no end.When
he is old, his fmgernails are long, he lives on a yacht,
he is paranoid and thinks the world is against him,
and he does not understand why he cannot fmd hap
piness. But happiness is at level 500, not at 125. The person is trapped by wanting and craving WORRY, FEAR, AND ANXIETY 291
more and more and therefore sees the world as frus
trating. If one is always wanting, then the world is
always holding back from that person.As one looks at
the jewelry-store display cases, that cravingness
comes out-one wants, wants, wants those jewels. They want the wantingness. If they get the jewels,
they will feel a satisfaction but not happiness.There is
a temporary satisfaction, but what kind of God would
hold back from a person what they desire? Then the
person feels separated from God, if there is a God at
all.There is the person, and then there is God, but the
two of them have no relationship. The exasperation of this frustrating world of
desire leads to anger, resentment, hatred, grievance;
war, and murder. There is the overexpansion of the
angry person, which shows in the protrusion of the
blood vessels, and the angry animal within flares up
with anger. The angry person sees this as a competi
tive world. When somebody opens up another used
car lot next to him, he is angry and thinks the person
is going to take his business away. He has not moved
up to a world of cooperation which knows that the
more there are used-car lots nearby, the greater the
business because they draw people from everywhere. But he would not even think of cooperating; instead,
he thinks of competition and becomes polarized. It is
he against them. Therefore, he sees a competitive
world and a retaliatory God who, out of angriness, is
very punishing, retaliatory, and seeks revenge. "I am a
jealous, vengeful God who will get you. I'm out to get
you," so God is his enemy, out to get him. How can he
relax and reach any kind of awareness in that kind of 292 HEALING AND RECOVERY
angry energy field? From Anger, we move up to pridefulness. Pride at
level 175 carries with it the downside of denial, arro
gance, and contempt. The process in consciousness is
one of being inflated. This person lives in a world of
status. When he walks down the same city street, he
sees not only your Cadillac, but also the year and
model. I did not even realize they came in models. I
thought a Caddy was a Caddy. No sir, I have discovered
that there are different models of Cadillac- I forget
their names, but whatever they are, one has more
status than the other-so the interest of that person
in other human beings is in their position. "Oh, he's
president of so-and-so," or, "He's only a blue-collar
worker." It is not the money but the status that money
gives them. What kind of a God can that person see from the
level of pridefulness? There are probably two options. Because of denial and intellectual arrogance, one can
say that the left brain denies that there is a God, or,
one can say that their position is the right one, and
therefore everybody else is wrong; thus, they end up
with skepticism or bigotry.This is the source ofall the
religious wars. "My view of religion is right; therefore,
yours must be wrong." Pridefulness leads one into a
polarized position of"me right, you wrong. "The anxi
ety that accompanies this puts the person on the
defensive because he lives in a world of win-lose. As we move up to Courage at level 200, there is
appropriateness for the first time. The person is able
to face, cope, and handle, and they become empow
ered because they have begun to tell the truth about WORRY, FEAR, AND ANXIETY 293
themselves. The person from the level of Courage
walks down the same street and sees a challenging,
exciting world of opportunity. It is a thrilling world of
growing, learning, expanding, and watching others
grow. There is an inner joy that comes from expand
ing one's own space. Courage settled the United Sates
of America and the West. It created all the industrial
empires and scientific enterprises. It got us to the
moon. It is the world of growth and expansion. What kind of God is the God of that level of con
sciousness? The person on that level of consciousness
has an open mind for the fIrst time. He does not pride
fully presume that he has the answer. He is not
aligned with vengeful negativity. He says for the fIrst
time, "I wonder if there is such a being. I wonder if
there is something greater than the personal self. I am
open to learning about this." He then treats the God
question the same as he does the world question, as
an exciting opportunity for exploration, and discovers
that spiritual research is eXciting, and the things that
are discovered are intriguing and benefIcial. The next energy fIeld, Neutral at level 250, results
in being unattached. This person says it is okay if they
get the job and okay if they do not. They are unat
tached and not run by the world.Their power greatly
.increases because they are no longer a victim. The
world does not control them anymore. They say, "If
this person stays in my life, great; if they don't, I will
fInd somebody else to be with. "They no longer live in
fear, they have moved up to a certain okayness, and
. their view of the world is now okay. The God of an
okay world would be a God offreedom to expand and 294 HEALING AND RECOVERY
explore. "If there is a God, it's okay with me, and if
there isn't, that's okay with me. "There is an inner fair
ness about God. "If there is a God, He will be fair, and
I will learn about it when the time comes; if there
isn't, that is okay with me, too." At the level ofWillingness at calibration level 310,
the person now declares an intention and says "yes" to
life. "I join; I align myself; I agree with things." The
person begins to experience a willingness to be of
service, along with a certain happiness, and views the
world as friendly. When one is willing, the world is
friendly. Now the person walks down the street and
sees potentially friendly people. All one has to do is
walk up to an old lady and say, "Hi, what a beautiful
day." She says,"Hey, nobody has talked to me all morn
ing. Isn't this nice? "The world is a friendly place, and
God perhaps becomes a promising and hopeful con
cept. The God of a friendly world would become a
friendly God. Even if one does not believe in Him, one
begins to trust Him. If one does not have a belief in
God, at least the friendly person says,"Well, if there is
one, he will be at least as kindly as my grandmother. He is going to understand human nature and is not
going to throw me into the pit fires of hell for being
human. He created me as human; I'm his handiwork. What is He going to do? Condemn His own creation?" Therefore, there is a certain trust in a God. As we move up to Acceptance at calibration level
350, we have begun


 15 minutes. Strain, cool and store it in a stoppered bottle for a maximum of three days. Increase amounts in the
above proportion, as required. Chamomile is one of the herbs most used in the Gerson Therapy,
both as an enema component and as an herbal drink. Sometimes a patient has been doing enemas for the first few days of the treatment without
a problem, but suddenly he/she cannot get more than 8-12 ounces into the colon. This may be a
symptom of a healing reaction or flare-up, and the solution is to take what is possible, release it, Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.comand take the rest. Even if the coffee solution has to be infused in three small amounts, it doesn’t
matter. Flare-ups are dealt with in detail in Chapter 16. In brief, they occur when so much bile is
released that the intestine is unable to contain it all. The bile then overflows and backs up into the
stomach. Since the stomach needs to be acid in order to hold and digest food, the highly alkaline
bile produces enormous discomfort: the stomach cannot hold food or liquid, and the patient
vomits. In itself this type of flare-up is welcome, because it clears out a lot of toxic bile—but
in the process the stomach membrane becomes irritated and needs instant relief. To do that, the
patient needs to drink as much peppermint tea as possible. At the same time the coffee enemas are
reduced, since they are causing the heavy flow of bile. The correct order for the next 2-3 days is
two chamomile enemas and only one coffee enema a day, until the nausea and vomiting clear up. Then the regular schedule can be resumed. During the flare-up, if the patient vomits and also has diarrhea, the body loses a lot of fluid,
so dehydration must be prevented. One way is to use more chamomile enemas instead of coffee. Also, the carrot/apple and green juices can be used as rectal implants. The regular 8-ounce dose
of juice is warmed to body temperature, by standing the glass in a warm water bath (NOT on the
stove, and without diluting it), and gently infused into the rectum. This is not an enema,  and the
patient should hold it until the liquid is absorbed. That may not take more than 10-15 minutes
of lying still in bed. These infusions can be used with all the juices, even every hour, instead of
having them as drinks—particularly valuable at times when during the flare-up the patient cannot
even bear to look at a juice, let alone drink it. Please note: do not infuse orange juice into the
rectum. Another problem occurs when the patient takes in the full 32 ounces of coffee solution, but
after 12 minutes is unable to release it. When that happens, the usual reaction is to take another
enema, expecting it to push out the first lot. But that doesn’t happen, and the patient tends to
panic. The reason of the blockage is that the colon spasms, cramps and doesn’t release the liquid. Of course there is no danger in this: the colon could actually hold up to 5 quarts—but that is
not the point. If the trouble is caused by cramping, the patient needs to lie down on his/her side,
with a warm water bottle on the stomach, and try to relax. If that doesn’t put things right, a small
amount of castor oil can be applied to the rectum; this usually promotes relaxation and release. However, if the situation lasts a little longer, including the time for the next enema, it helps to put
2 tablespoonfuls of the regular potassium compound (see Chapter 14 ) into each enema for a few
days. This will help to release the cramping and/or spasming. Please note:  do not use this method
for more than 2-3 days, to avoid irritating the rectum and the colon. It is only when they are on the regular enema routine that patients realize how much waste
material their bodies have stored over many years. Once the organism gets a go-ahead in the
direction of self-cleansing, it does release a variety of strange, disturbing accumulations which Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.comappear in the enema returns, including a wide range of parasites. Experts claim that some 85%
of us harbour parasites in our colon, which are best expelled. So the message is not to panic, if
the enema returns contain unusual substances: they prove that detoxification and cleansing is
progressing well. IMPORTANT NOTE: For patients who have been pre-treated with chemotherapy, the enema
schedule is reduced. It has become evident that such patients must be detoxified more slowly and
cautiously, so as not to release all the remaining toxic chemotherapy residues too rapidly, which
would add up to a dangerous overdose.Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved. This material may not be reproduced in any medium, print or electronic without prior written permission from the author.Page 118Healing the Gerson Way—Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases

Medications
For the general public, “medications” normally mean drugs, used in allopathic medicine in the
treatment of disease. In acute cases and emergencies many drugs are life-saving and highly
valuable. But when it comes to chronic conditions, as a rule the synthetic drugs, which are alien
to the body, can merely alleviate, i.e., suppress symptoms without dealing with the basic cause. This process is often accompanied by severe side effects, which may require more drugs to
control. The medications used in the Gerson Therapy belong to a totally different category. Far from
being drugs, they are nutritional supplements, consisting of natural substances present in, and
needed for, the normal functioning of the various body systems. Being natural, they have no
damaging side effects. Their purpose is to make up for the deficiencies of the sick body, until it
recovers sufficiently to cover all its needs. So pure are these substances that even if by mistake
they are incorrectly used, in excessive or insufficient doses, they do no harm—with the exception
of the thyroid/iodine supplementation, which must be correctly adjusted. Let us take them one by one and explore their purpose. Potassium Compound
Dr. Gerson found that the basic problem in all chronic degenerative diseases is the loss of
potassium from, and the penetration of sodium into the cells, now known as t he tissue damage
syndrome. The average diet in most countries, especially in the developed world, contains far
too much salt (sodium), which eventually causes the breakdown of the healthy balance within
the body. To correct this, Dr. Gerson added a large amount of potassium (a 10% solution of three
potassium salts) to the already potassium-rich organic vegetarian diet, and observed that this
enabled the sick body to release the excess sodium, together with edema, while also reducing high
blood pressure and, in most cases, pain. To prepare the compound,  100 grams of three ready-mixed potassium salts are dissolved in
one quart of distilled water and stored in a dark glass bottle, or in a clear one kept inside a large
brown or black paper bag, to keep out all light. On the full intensive therapy 4 teaspoonfuls of the potassium compound are added to
ten of the freshly prepared fruit and/or vegetable juices. This dosage is reduced after 3-4
weeks to 2 teaspoonfuls in each of ten juices. In seriously ill patients it takes many months, even 1-2 years, to restore normal potassium Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

        Since many
microwave ovens carry an “Underwriter Laboratory” guarantee of safety, the general public is
led to believe that these ovens are safe to use. But that is not the case. Research carried out in Switzerland and elsewhere has shown that microwaves cause
harmful chemical reactions in food, damaging nutrients, producing unnatural molecules and
making natural amino acids toxic. The heat is uneven; it doesn’t reach the middle of solid food,
but produces ‘hot spots. ’ Liquids can overheat and cause severe burns when the food is removed. To make things worse, these ovens emit radiation into the kitchen area even when not in use and
“cook the cook” (It is an interesting fact that for health reasons microwave ovens were banned in
the former Soviet Union as far back as 1976. ) If you own one, get rid of it. If it is not removable,
unplug it, and be not tempted to use it under any circumstances. Copyright ©


 drive to
your success. Read and surround
yourself with books and information on
raw foods and detoxification. It is vital that we, as souls, understand our
bodies, for they are our vehicles on this journey through creation. You must
learn how to properly use the body for your highest good. What you create
mentally and emotionally becomes your experience. True health and vitality is found when we have these mental and
emotional “bodies” in balance. Each of these bodies impact one another. Your emotions, especially the negative ones like anger, hate, and jealousy,
can make your physical body sick and full of disease. These emotions are
stored in the liver and kidneys. They block proper pancreatic function
(digestion) and other glandular functions as well. Emotions can even shut
down our mind, affecting our ability to comprehend, think and make rational
decisions. They especially can close off the heart centers. Once the heart
center is closed, your ability to get healthy drastically decreases, even to the
point where death is the inevitable result. Among the cancer clients whom I could not help were those who had
their heart center closed, for one reason or another, and had a hard time
opening to love. In some people this is a complex and deep-seated issue. This
is where meditation, deep personal prayer, and spiritual counseling comes in.One should start enjoying life for what it is. Observe nature and surround
yourself with flowers and plants, as these are very healing. Nature embraces
with energies of love. If we can let go of the past, we can enjoy every
moment for what it is. Let all hate, anger, and opinions go. Give them over to
God. An old saying I use personally is, “Let go and let God.”
Love, happiness, joy, health and mental control all keep the heart open. Unhappiness, depression, despair, anger, jealousy, rage, envy and negative
states shut down or keep the heart center closed. The mind must also be kept
in control. They say the mind is a great servant but a lousy, even destructive,
master. The thinking process keeps us from enjoying the present moment, the
“eternal now” as it is called. Remember when you were a child and the
present moment seemed to last forever? Those days were long and filled with
play and excitement. As you grew up, these timeless moments were lost at the
hands of thought and desire. The way teaching is done in most of our school
systems promotes competition and limits free thinking, just as the materialistic
world of possessions limits freedom and happiness. These circumstances
have greatly reduced our overall awareness and our ability to experience
God, the source of true vitality, happiness and bliss. By detoxifying your physical body you can start a chain of events that
will allow you to clean and bring under control your emotional and mental
processes. You can help this process by allowing old thought patterns and the
emotions that can surface during detoxification to finally be released and
forgotten. There are several ways to do this. Begin by watching your thoughts. Step away from them and become the
observer. Become detached about the outcome of things and from other
people’s opinions and emotions. Let go. Give it all over to spirit, God, the
wind … whatever you believe in. Let go of all of your negative emotions and
mental chains. This allows the greatest healing power to flow through you
and your mental, emotional and physical bodies, bringing a vibrancy and
awareness that is indescribable and rare. Enjoy life moment by moment. Allow yourself the freedom to expand and experience. Break out of the old
conditioned states of thinking and feeling and become vibrant and healthy. Do it now! GLANDS, EMOTIONS AND HEALTH
It is important to note that when your glandular system is out of balance, so
are you. This is
especially true of the triad: the pituitary, thyroid and adrenal
glands. When the thyroid is hypoactive, calcium utilization drops. This can bring
on all types of states of depression from mild to chronic. When the adrenal
glands become hypoactive, anxieties can overwhelm you. Responses vary
from mild shyness and introversion, to apprehension, to chronic worry and
anxiety, to acute anxiety attacks, to paralyzing fear and reclusiveness. Bipolar
disorder, schizophrenia and other similar conditions are all manifestations of
the above, as they affect your calcium, serotonin, neurotransmitters, and the
like. This is why the health of your physical body is so important to your
mental and emotional bodies. They are all interconnected to the point that you
experience all three as one expression. Summary

Learn the secrets that lead to the health and vitality of your physical body,
emotions and mind. Take charge of these tools or bodies. They are your
instruments of expression while you are in this world. Detox and clean your
body. Let all your emotions be carried away or replaced with love. Go
beyond your mind into the world of the Now. Be “you”—not your mind. Only use thought to create what you need, not what you want. MODULE 5.11
Body Language: What is Your Body Trying to Tell You

Nothing happens in life without a reason. All things exist and change from a
cause. If you take a long walk down the road, it’s because you decided by
thought and emotion (the desire) to do so. Cells in your body are the same
way. They act and respond via thought and emotions. However, the types of
thoughts and emotions that act upon the cells are carried on in a subtle, almost
subconscious way.Cells already function automatically. However, hormones, steroids,
neurotransmitters, serotonin, etc., influence them. These substances create a
reaction in tissue (cells) that make them respond or react in a particular
manner, depending upon the initial thought or emotion. A good example of
this is fear. If you see something that terrifies you, your adrenal glands will
produce adrenaline (epinephrine) to stimulate the heart and blood flow, and
to encourage muscle movement. This gives you much added strength and
energy to run or fight. The adrenal gland first got its message to release
adrenaline from the brain, which received its message through your
awareness. Cells respond to stimuli. This can have positive results or negative results
depending upon the source of the stimuli. As I have reinforced throughout
this book, the foods you eat, what you drink, breathe, and what you put on
your skin, can have a positive and enhancing effect or a negative effect upon
cells, tissues, organs or glands. A negative effect can cause hypoactivity of
cells and their respective tissues. These negative influences can even kill cells. As your cells become weakened or die, they can change their
morphology (function). They can be invaded by parasites to finish them off,
and/or be consumed by an immune cell and thus eliminated. As this process of cellular deterioration takes place, your body as a whole
begins to suffer. This creates a domino effect causing a change in the way
your body functions. These many changes are like signs. Linked together
they become a body “language” for you or your healthcare practitioner to
read. If you are observant and learn about your body’s language or
communication methods, you will be able to determine what organs and
glands are failing you. This module should be used in conjunction with
Module 5.12
, Health Questionnaire, which concludes this chapter. That
Questionnaire will allow you to reflect upon various bodily processes and
systems, and to pinpoint their weaknesses. For now, the lists that follow are some “body language” cues, or side
effects, that I have learned in my thirty-plus years of experience as a
healthcare practitioner. Some of these might sound like diseases to you, but
they are merely the effects of organ or glandular weaknesses and failures. THE LANGUAGE OF THE GLANDS, ORGANS AND SYSTEMS
 Thyroid (Endocrine Gland System)
Weakness or failure of the thyroid will show up as:
Obesity (if your pancreas is weak, you can be thin and still have a
thyroid weakness)
Low Metabolism (can give you poor digestion)
Low Body Temperature (cold extremities and cold intolerance)
Hair loss and balding
Failure to sweat properly, affecting skin elimination (creates dry skin and
other conditions)
Parathyroid (Endocrine Gland System)
Calcium requires a parathyroid hormone so it can be utilized properly by
your body. Failure to utilize calcium results in:
Bone loss (Osteoporosis, spinal deterioration or herniated disks)
Bone (calcium) spurs
Arthritis (adrenal gland weakness must also be present)
Connective tissue weakness, causing prolapsed conditions (dropping) of
skin, bladder, uterus, bowels, and other organs
Varicose veins and spider veins
Hemorrhoids
Depression
Nerve weakness
Spasms, cramping of muscles, convulsions
Dehydration
Ridged, brittle or weakened fingernails
Anemia (low calcium causes poor iron utilization)
Scoliosis
Ruptured Discs
Hernias
Aneurysms
MVP (mitral valve prolapse—heart)
Adrenal Glands (Endocrine Gland System)
Linked to the nervous system, inflammation, carbohydrate utilization, healing
and repair of tissues. Weakness or failure of these glands will be seen as:“itis’s” (all inflammatory conditions)
Fibrocystic conditions
Fibromyalgia, scler

60 and you have been
eating 3 meals daily, whether you were hungry or not,and you have allowed toxic acid crystals to get deposited
into the moveable joints of your body. It is going to
take time for Mother Nature and the vital power withinyour body to break down the toxic crystals that have
accumulated over the years. The Man Who Rebuilt Himself
I remember a Mr. Evans who came to me years ago. He hobbled painfully into my office. A well known doctor
in California had given him a prescription which read
“Physical therapy as prescribed.” I am also a physicaltherapist which helped in my health and healing practice. This man’s sad story is one of millions in our country. He had never been educated to know how to care forhis wonderful body, but he had been conditioned to eat
3 meals per day and eat anything that pleased him. Now,
I have told you several times in this book that “HumanFlesh is Dumb.” You can put anything in your stomach
at any hour that you wish. You can get up in the morning
and fill up on cereal, ham and eggs, fried potatoes andtoast and wash it down with
 5 cups of coffee, but you
must take the consequences of eating habits like this. You can do more for your own health and well-being than any doctor,
any hospital, any drug and any exotic medical device. – Joseph Califano44Victory Won By Fasting, Diet and Exercise
First and foremost, your body has to earn its food by
the sweat of your brow. That means you only eat food
appropriate to your physical activity and climate. This
man was eating as he did when he was a young activefarm boy. Slowly his joints were becoming cemented
solid by toxins and toxic crystals that were pressing on
nerves causing him agonizing pain. He wanted an easyway out of his misery. I told him truthfully that it had
taken a long time of wrong eating and bad habits of
living to get him in this wretched condition. Now itwould take fasting, a healthy diet and ample exercises
to help relieve these pains. He was an intelligent man
and saw the truth of my simple philosophy. I started him on a
 3 day distilled water fast. Following
the fast, I had him eat only fresh fruit for breakfast and
a raw vegetable combination salad for lunch. I had himeat a grated carrot, beet, chopped cabbage salad and one
cooked vegetable for dinner. I took him off all animal
products, meat, fish, eggs, cheese and dairy products. Ieliminated all salt, sugar and refined foods. I took himoff all grains and all legumes such as beans, peas, rice
and lentils for two months. Every day I had him take a
10 minute hot bath (add 1 cup apple cider vinegar),
bringing the water up to 104 degrees, using a bath
thermometer. I gave him an exercise program of brisk
walking starting with 3 blocks the first day, and every
third day I added another block to his walking program
until he was walking  3 miles a day. Every week he took a 36 hour water fast. As the days
and weeks rolled into months, I gave him one 7 day
and one 10 day fast. In one year you would hardly have
recognized this man! His family and friends were amazedat his transformation. His joints became flexible and,
although he hadn’t been swimming for years, he joined
the
YMCA  and swam 3 days a week. He hadn’t ridden a
bicycle for years, yet he purchased one and rode for miles
at a time. He and his wife took up dancing and in a year
he was winning contests. The stiffness left him. He eventook up the piano and became a good piano player.45
Enter, or perhaps re-enter, the brave new world of wellness through
healthy lifestyle, exercise, natural r emedies, alternative therapies,
meditation and prayer with positive thinking. – Monica Skrzypczak
The body must be wisely nourished, physically, emotionally and spiritually. We’re spiritually starved in America and not underfed, but undernourished. – Carol HornigTo lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals. – Ben Franklin
Knowing and following th ese teachings will mean
true life and good health for you. – Proverbs 4:22Mother Nature Works Miracles Slowly,
But Surely When You Honor Her Laws
Mr. Evans is growing younger as he is growing older. His miseries are gone! He accomplished all this by himself!I only helped him to help him self! As a health teacher, I
only laid out his healthy lifestyle program of naturalliving. Today he fasts every week for
24 to 36 hours without
fail. Four times a year – winter, spring, summer and fall –he takes a
10 day complete fast. His lively steps are that of
a man 20 years of age! His movements are quick and
accurate. He didn’t do all this in a day, in a week or amonth. It took time to break down and eliminate thepoisons and toxic acid crystals that were tormenting him. What Mr. Evans did you can do too! The body is
self-repairing, self-healing and self-maintaining. All youhave to do is live by the laws of God and Mother Nature,and you will be rewarded with the joy of living. Be a faithful health captain and live The Bragg

The grinding sound you hear is the toxic acid crystals
that have deposited themselves on the uppermost boneof your spine – the Atlas. Your
24 hour or 7 day fast will
not eliminate all the toxic acid crystals from your Atlas,but the body purification will be started. Fast one day aweek. In one year you will have fasted
 52 days. In that
time the Vital Force of your body will have dissolved alarge amount of the acid crystals from your joints. Each time you fast you will notice more freedom in

abstract,  being a knowledgc aboul  1hings rathcr
than of chings. Memory nevcr caplllres the
esscnce, the present in - tensity,  the concrete
reality  of an experience. lt is, as TJIE  WISOOM  OF INSECURITY
it were, the corpse of an experience, from which
the life has vanished. What  we know  by memory,
we know only al secondhand. Memories  are dead
be- cause  fixed. The memory  of your deceased
grand - mother can only repeat what your
grandmother was. But thc  real,  present
grandmother could always  do or say someLhing
new, and you,vere never absolutely  sure  what  she
would  do next. There  are, Lhen,  two ways  of understanding  an
ex-
perience. The firsl is to compare it with the
memories  of ocher expcriences, and so lO name
and define il. This  is to imcrpret it in accordance
wilh  che dead  and the pase. The second is  lO be
aware  of it as it  is, as when, in the intensity of joy,
we forget past and  future, let the present be all,
and thus do not even  stop  to Lhink,  "I am
happy. " Both  ways  of understanding  have  their  uses. fiul Lhey corrcspond to the difference  between
knowing  a thing  by words  and knowing  it
immec \iately. A menu  is very useful. but it is no
substicute  for the dinner. A guidebook  is an
admirable  tool,  but_ it is hardly LObe compared
with  the country  it describes. Thc point,  then,  is
that whcn wc try to understand  the prescm  by
comparing  ic with  mernories,  we do nol
u11derstand  itas deeply  as whcn  we are aware  of
it withoul  comparison. This,  however,  is usually
the way  in which  we approach  unpleasant

or lonely person begins at once to think, 'Tm

experi - cnce. We don't want to be awarc o{ this
prcscnt. But  as we cannot get out of the present,
our only escape is  into mcmories. Here we feel on
safe ground, far the  past is the fixed and the
known -but also, of course,  thc dead. Thus to try
to get out of, say, fear we en - deavor at once to
be separate from it and to "fix" it  by interprcting
it in terms of mcmory, in tcrms of  what is
already fixed ancl known. In ocher words, wc  try
to adapt ourselves to the mystcrious prcscnt by
comparing it with the (remembered) past, by
naming  and  "identifying"  it. This  would  be all very  well  if you  were  trying
to
get away from something from which you can
get away. lt is a useful process for knowing whcn to
come  in out of the rain. Bue it does not tell you
how to live  with things from which you cannot
get away, which  are already pare of yourself. Your body does not  eliminate  poisons  by
knowing  their  names. To try to control fear or
depression or boredom by calling  them names
is to resort to superstition of trust in curses  and
invocations. lt is so casy to see why this does not work. Ob- viously, wc try to know, name, and define
fear in  order to make it "objective," that is,
separate from  "l. " Bue  why  are we trying  to be
separate  from  fear. Because  we are afraid. In
other  words,  fear  is trying
93 TME  WISDOM  OF INSECURITY
to separate itself from fear, as if one could fight
fire with  fire. And this is not ali. The more we accustorn our -
selves  LO understanding  the present  in terms  of
memory,  the unknown by the known,  the living
by the dead,  the more  desiccatcd  and embalrned,
thc more  joyless  and frustrated  life bccomes. So
pro- tected  from life, man becomes a sort of
mollusc en - crusted in a hard shell of "tradition,"
so that when at last reality  breaks  through,  as it
must,  che tide of  pent -up {ear  runs  wild. If, on the other hand, you are aware of fear, you
realizc  that,  becausc  this feeling  is now  yourself,
escape  is impossible. You  see that  calling  it "fear"
tells you little or nothing about it, far the compari -
son and the naming is bascd, not on past
experience,  but on memory. You have then no
choice bue to be  awarc of it with your whole bcing
asan entircly new  expericnce. lndeed, every
expcrience is in this sense  new, and at every
moment of our lives we are in the midst of the
new and  the únknown. At this point  you receive
the experience  without  resisting  it or naming it,
and the whole sense of conAict  between  'T' and
the present  rcality  vanishes. Far most  of us this conAict  is ever  gnawing
within
us because our lives are one long effort to resist
the unknown, the real present in which we live,
which is the unknown in the midst of coming into
being. Liv - ing thus,  we never  really  leam  to
live with  it. At
94 THE. MARVELOUS  MOMENT
every moment we are cautious, hesitant, and on
the defensivc. And all to no avail, for life thrusts
us into  the unknown willy -nilly, and resistance is
as futilc  and exasperaling as trying to swim
against a roaring  torrent. Thc art of living in chis "predicament" is

to under -
stand that it brings into play altogether new
powers  of adaptation to life, of literally
absorbing pain and  insecurity. le is as hard to
describe how this absorp•  tion works as to
explain the beating of one's heart or  the formation
of genes. The "open" mind does this as  mosL of us
breathe: withom l>eing able to explain it at all. The principie  of Lhe thing  is clearly  something
like jiido, tbe gentle (j1t) way (do) of mastering an
op- posing  force  by giving  in to it. The natural world gives us many examplcs of
che great cfiectiveness of this way. The Chinese

. The Impoverishmen ts of Prosperity

The Industrial Revolution was prec eded, and has been accompanied,
by a frantic commercial adventuring, which has brought the
European with his trading practi ces all over the world. The essential
feature of European trading is the exclusive priority it places on
profits. Profitability has conditione d, and still conditions, practice,
often at the detriment of the less easily definable human values. The
introduction of rice refining in India is an example. Previously, the
removal of the husk, the sifting away of the chaff, left much of the
germ behind, the ritualized preoccupation of women, a labour of
love and gratitude. Mildew, insects and rats no doubt took a
considerable toll of the rice stores, but this was taken as one of the
inevitables of existence; the rats also had a right to live! The
European influence brought in qu ite another mentality, and a new
class of European and Indian merc hants, who set about correcting
these wastes, by proper storage follo wing the refining of the rice. In
an age when the merits of hygiene were being widely promoted,
white rice could be put over as a superior, cleaner product; with the
losses due to spoilage overcome, the refined rice could be sold more
cheaply while still leaving large profits to the merchants. There was at first much resist ance against these changes, which
the Indian felt was a dismantling of a ritualized act of immense
importance, but cheapness, and the withdrawal of whole rice by the
merchants, forced the habit upon the Indian masses, aided perhaps
by the fact that the European, because of his'mixed diet', found the fibreless white rice more congenial to his taste. But the consequences were soon calamitous. Deficiencies of the B vitamins
had been virtually unknown in India before. Now they became
rampant, affecting whole communities, resulting in an apathy which in return affected the labour ava ilable to the colonial powers. An
attempt was made, as soon as it w as realized that the essential
vitamins were contained in the e ndosperm and germ, to remedy this
state of affairs by parboiling the rice before it was refined. Thereby
some of the B vitamins penetrated the white grain. This not only added to the cost of the eventual product, but left behind an unpleasant soggy taste and smell. When the British Government attempted to make the eating of parboiled rice compulsory, there were riots. The effect of rice refining in India, as elsewhere, has been
utterly disastrous, leading to a chronic malnutrition that has debased the enterprise and the viability of the people. It is unfortunately true that a vegetarian is all the more damaged by eating refined cereals than a mixed eater, for the latter obtains considerable amounts of the
B vitamins from the animal ingredient in his diet, whereas the
vegetarian depends very largely on the B vitamins in cereals. Sugar is another example of an impoverishment in the name of
technical progress. By itself, sugar should not be considered a food. Although the natural fuel of all anim al life, it is offered in nature with other essentials—particularly Vitamin C in the case of fruits—
and is intended to be part of a whole dietary which supplies the essentials needed by the body for the proper metabolism of sugar,
chiefly the B vitamins and certain minerals. Taken by itself, sugar is
an anti-food. In combination with other refined foods, deprived of
the B vitamins and minerals, it becomes a pernicious and evil
ingredient in the diet, especially in one already inadequate and impoverished, the case in many parts of the world today. It is depressing to contemplate how a delightful inducement,
the primate love of sweetness, which is the natural demand for
fruits, should have become so deceived, with deleterious consequences only now becoming better understood. Besides the well established responsibility for dental caries, sugar has recently been incriminated in a particular  form of listlessness in children,
often with fit-like attacks and destructive behaviour, seriously
affecting the ability of such children to learn and to behave in a socially constructive manner. Sugar has been also invoked in heart
attacks, in diseases of the skin and eye, in diabetes and other metabolic disturbances, as well as being the main contributor to the
diseases of overweight. Although other questionable crops, such as the vine, are grown
on lands often inappropriate to the production of primary foods,
beet sugar has become an established rotational crop on some of the best lands in Europe. Easy to gr ow and profitable, the acreage under
beet has had to be limited, but it is a perversion of land use to grow
sugar beet at all. Its place could be better taken by other rotational
crops which could be used as a primar y food. As for cane sugar, it is
true that it is the most efficient means of fixing solar energy—were it not for the present clamour for sugar, converted into alcohol it could rival petrol at present prices—but human food is much more
than calories. With the increasing world pressure on the primary
foods, there is no doubt that the cane producing lands would do better to grow primary foods ra ther than sugar—less cars and
gadgets, and less foreign exchange, but better health, and a happier
people. But it is the use of lands, capable of growing primary human
foods like cereals, for meat production, that constitutes the greatest
economic folly. It requires some tw elve to fifteen times more land
to produce a pound of meat than a pound of cereal, which means that some two to three thousand million more people could be fed if the world became vegetarian. It is not suggested that the world
population should so increase. Rather, the aim is to emphasize how
wasteful it has become to use land for the production of animal food, a wastefulness which the planet can no longer tolerate. Since the power of demand is still largely in the hands of the
industrial communities, and their clamour for meat, far from being satiated, is for ever increasing,  and since much of the animal
feeding stuffs is produced in the po orer parts of the world, it means
that the nutrition of the poorer two thirds of the planet is being increasingly sacrificed so that the gluttony of the more prosperous communities can be met. One can doubt that such a situation will be tolerated for much longer, for more  than oil, the West has been
meeting its protein surfeits at the expense of a planetary majority. The situation is already threatening. The shortage of animal
food is boosting prices, a main factor in the inflationary costs of feeding. Those countries formerly exporting animal foods are now
consuming it themselves. And there is no unexploited land left on the planet. If the industrial communities do succeed in even
maintaining their present levels of consumption of animal foods, it
can only be at the cost of a deteriorating world situation, leading inexorably to worldwide starvation. And starving people are desperate people. With the means of making atomic weapons now well within the capacity of the poorer, increasingly more poorly fed peoples of the world, it is not impossible that the planetary
holocaust will be the result of greed. Wisdom would conclude that a worldwide adoption of a
vegetarian dietary is the proper means of planetary justice and
survival. Wisdom would also prepar e for this inevitable change in
good time, so that it came about in good order, without the
widespread disaster which such momentous change will exact if it
comes about in violence and chaos. Unfortunately, it is not only the greed of the presently prosperous countries that is involved. Many of the poorer peoples have come to imitate the dietary habits of the West, as they have attempted to catch up with its industrial
advantages. Former peasantries, only eating animal foods on rare
festive occasions, now insist on a daily intake, as the mark of emancipation. And many of the poorer peoples are, by culture and tradition, the opposite of vegetarian. The prospects are undoubtedly grim. Success is only likely to
be achieved if the overall bad habits of civilization, as well as the
mounting pressure of population, can become corrected. In all
probability, all these problems are interconnected. Wrong eating must in some way at present unrealized, play its part in the population stampedes of recent times, just as this stampede has its reverse influence on world food resources. The challenge of a world
food reform calls for a better understanding of the forces at work
behind the extraordinary rise in the human population of this planet. II. The Unloving Crowd

Although the earth could support a considerably larger number
of people than exist at present on a vegetarian dietary, congestion is fast becoming a dehumanizing influence. Human society differs from the often vast aggregations of individuals one finds among
other animals, wherein the individual is subordinate to the group
structure, in that society is the radiation of the humanizing predispositions engendered within each  individual. It  is only when
such conditions* are fulfilled in the individual that society is itself a humanizing force. Constraint, limitation of individual freedom, subordination of the individual to the needs of vast societies are thus
inherently antihuman. Human love is so powerful a force, that it can no doubt be
exercised in large social groupings, possibly extending to a planetary scale. But this requires first of all the reality of love and its achievement between individuals, as well as a social structure
which preserves individual liberty, in the sense of allowing and
encouraging every individual to develop along humanizing lines.


 I don’t need to
desperately seek out the shade at the beach, or figure out which hat will  stay on and give me adequate protection. I can actually take
walks on the beach without all the cover-up gear and  out of the shade. I only use a sun hat if I’m out in the full sun during midda y. For the first time, I can go to the farmer’s market in the afternoon wit hout a hat and no burn! My hair is just getting silkier and better looking—without shamp oo or conditioner! W ow! My skin, teeth, and nails have never
looked or felt better either. Amazing, because while I brush and f loss my teeth and bathe daily with water, I haven’t used shampoo,
conditioner, face soap, body soap, toothpaste, deodorant, makeup, lotion, sunscreen, bug repe llant, or anything but water on my
body (except dish soap on my hands) for over two and a half years now. Funny—just some scrubbing and water. Who’d have
thought? My skin has never been smoother or more lovely than it is now, and I am vir tually free of the acne that I’ve had ever since
puberty. People comment frequently now on how my skin “glows,” how healt hy I look, and how pretty my hair is, wanting to touch
it and do things with it. I haven’t had people wanting to do that with my  hair since I was a very young child. Eating this way requires little food preparation. All I have to do is put my  fruit for the day in a box, and maybe grab some
salad and tomatoes if I don’t have enough at work already, and go. No need to slice, spread, arrange, layer, bag, or cook, transfer,
clean, etc., as with cooked food. Of course, you can make the 80/10/10rv  food fancy enough for any gourmet undertaking if you
want, but you don’t have to go through all that every day just to eat. If I don’t have enough with me or get caught out at mealtime, I can go int o practically any grocery store and get fruit. No more
shakiness, spiciness, and low blood sugar if I have to skip or delay a meal. Inste ad I feel fine and still perform well mentally and
physically until I refuel. If I know I’m going to have a busy day, I’ll throw some fruit and possibly  greens or celery in a blender with water in the
morning before I leave, to take with me to drink while working. I take a bit of thi s, watered down, to Ashtanga as my sports drink
and often drink the full smoothie afterwards on my drive back to work. I have a ble nder at work too, in case I decide to exercise or
have a smoothie or dressing while there, as I am often at the office for ov er twelve hours at a time. But in truth, I rarely need or want
to use it at work. I use less trash, and have more compost with which I can grow more food. At th e end of the day, I have only a salad bowl,
occasionally a smoothie container, and a compost container to wash for the w hole day. You can do that with just water, too, if you
do it right away. The day we got rid of our stove was such a wonderful day. It was such a freein g experience, and it made the whole kitchen
seem so much cleaner somehow. I have no need for pots, pans, ovens, or other cooking a ppliances and accessories. In fact, I could
get away without any food-preparation utensils or dishes at all if I w anted to. I don’t need spices, herbs, medications, vitamins,
minerals, or other supplements, either. It’s just so much simpler a nd more natural—less expensive too. Finally, I’m at Peace
Prior to going raw, I had been close to a nervous breakdown as a result of living  in a high state of stress for several years. I knew I
needed to de-stress, but I couldn’t see how, without conditions changing i n my life. I couldn’t exercise or do other stress-relieving
activities, because I would just feel like I was getting further beh ind on things, which would stress me out even more
(counterproductive to say the least). Now I am far less prone to stress and emotional baggage issues. My emotions  are more even and at a higher level than
before. I still attend to things, but I don’t feel stressed about them. I  feel too good to bother, actually. It is not my life that changed,
it’s me. I simply am not as stressed about things anymore. In fact, I ha ve had even more stressful things happen in my life than
before, yet I have felt less stressed during these times. It’s kind of hard to describe … I guess the best way is to say that I’m at peace, more so than ever before—at peace with
who I am, who everyone else is, and with what is going on in my life and aroun d me. From my experience, good health truly is
happiness and peace of mind. I just plain feel good, and it’s hard to get t oo down when you feel so darned good all the time, you
know? My body tells me it wants to play, and I follow! Learning to Eat Enough Food
Once I started on Dr. Graham’s program, I started really liking my food a gain. It is yummy, and I look forward to it. I don’t put off
my meals until I get ravenous anymore. I used to be so disinterested in  and uninspired by my food that I’d wait until I was so hungry
I would just grab whatever was closest and quickest—which was almos t never a healthy food choice. My body just wasn’t
interested in the food I was giving it. Now that I’m providing health y food for my body, it loves my food, and so do I.
I find it fairly easy to get enough calories now, but it took a while to get to t he level of eating this much. When I started out, I
wasn’t eating enough calories, although I felt fine. I think my body just didn’t want that much food back then, because it wanted to
clear out old stuff. I figured out that I was only eating as many calorie s as would support an 80-pound person, but I also realized I
had some fat to live off of to help my transition. Over time, it did work out. Initially, I only lost weight because I had exces s fat. Eventually I lost most of the fat, gained some
new muscle (and weight along with it), and gradually started eating  more calories naturally as my body adjusted to things. Currently,
I probably eat more calories than some would think I should and many think I coul d. It works out anyway, as I am getting stronger,
gaining weight while keeping a healthy body-fat level, and I am feeli ng quite well. Don’t Live a Little … Live a Lot! If you’re looking to save time and effort in finding what works, look no further. Dr. Graham’s method works. I used to “live a little”
from passing pleasures like non-optimum food, sacrificing my hea lth and well-being in the process. Now I “live a lot.” I don’t feel
badly about my food choices or feel like I’m giving up anything. I’m choosi ng better health and more lasting pleasure, and I am all
the more happy as a result. I feel so much better and see so many resul ts that I am inspired to keep going and don’t want to go back
to cooked food or even high-fat raw. The fleeting satisfaction just isn’ t worth the risk of losing all that I’ve gained. This raw stuff is amazing. Not raw any  way—but this low-fat vegan way—that’s what’s making the differe nce! The more I
follow all of Dr. Graham’s recommendations (which incorporate other li festyle factors besides diet: exercise, rest, pure water, pure
air, sunshine, sleep, recreation, etc. ), the easier it is to stay on the 80/10/10  raw vegan diet, and the better I feel. In fact, eating this
way has enabled me to joyfully and naturally make improvements in many  other areas of my life, which I was unable to do before,
no matter how hard I tried. To sum it all up, I just feel so alive! I want to tell the world! It’s so simple, and it works so well! I feel like my  body is
celebrating life on a cellular level—it is happy to be alive and w ants to move to celebrate. I gladly oblige. Happy happy, joy joy,
happy happy, joy! Reading my praise of Dr. Graham and his program, you may not realize that I  am actually exceedingly cautious and
conservative about recommending any products or services, as I take this  responsibility seriously. That said, I highly recommend that
you read and reread this book as many times as necessary, until you are able  to try this program and discover for yourself just how
life-enhancing it is. Give it a good chance though, and follow everythi ng as much as possible. Like any generic guideline, the program
described in this book may need adjusting for your individual situation. The g eneral method has worked wonders for me. I

The “ secret” no long er has the capacity to “corrode and destroy.” What is your ex perience with
this? Is there anything right now that you are holding inside of yourself? Are you willing to share it
with another person (sponsor, friend, counselor, minister)? If so, how did it go? 4. Dr. Hawkins says, “The way out of the pit is to be concerned about someone else. W e get higher

the “payof f ” to staying there? (Remember that Dr. Hawkins boils down the journey o f liberation to
this: “ The only thing you need to know about any barrier is what the ego payof f is. What is the
juice that the experiencer is getting out of that positionality, that negativity, that ‘stuck’ place?”)
2. Notice that as a r esult of letting go of a single “I can’ t,” the man’ s entire life changed. The

Consciousness Calibration
HIST OR Y AND METHODOLOGY
The basis of this work is research done over a 20-year period, involving
millions of calibrations on thousands of test subjects of all ages and
personality type s, and from all walks of life. By design, the study is clinical
in method and t hus has widespread, pragmatic implications. B ecause this
testing m ethod is valid in appl ication to all forms of human expression,
calibrations have successfully been taken for literature, architecture, art,
science, world events, and the co mplexities of human relationsh ips. The test
space for the d etermination o f the data is the totality of the human
experience throughout all time. Mentally, test subjects ranged from what the world calls “normal” to
severely ill psychiatric patients. Subjects were tested in Canada, the United
States, a nd Mexico and throughout South America and Northern Europe. They were of all  nationalities, ethnic backgrounds, and religions, ranging in
age from children to elders in their 90s, and covered a wide spectrum of
physical and emotional health. Subjects were tested individually and in
groups by many dif ferent testers and groups of testers. In general, the
results were identical and reproducible, fulfilling the fundamental
requirement of the scientific method: perfect experimental replicability. Subjects were selected at rando m and tested in a wide array of  physical
and behavioral settings: on top of mountains and at the seashore, at holiday
parties a nd duri ng the course o f everyday work, in moments of joy and
moments of sorrow. None of th ese circumstances af fected the test results,
which were found to be univer sally consistent irrespective of extraneousfactors, with the singular exception of the methodology of the testing
procedure itself. Because of the significance of this factor, the testing
method will be described in detail below. THE TESTING TECHNIQUE
T wo per sons are required. One a cts as test subject by holding out one arm
laterally, parallel to the ground. The second person then presses  down with
two fing ers on the wrist of the e xtended arm and says, “Resist.” The subject
then resi sts the downward pressure with all his strength. That is all there is
to it. A statem ent may be made by either party. While the subject holds it in
mind, hi s arm’ s strength is tested by the tester ’ s downward pressure. If the
statement is negative, false, or r eflects a calibration below 200 ( see Chapter
3 ), the test subject will “go weak.” If the answer is yes or calib rates over
200, he will “go strong.”
T o demo nstrate the procedure, one might have the subject hold an image
of Abraham Lincoln in mind while being tested, and then, for contrast, an
image o f Adolf Hitler. The same ef fect can be demonstrated by holding in
mind someone who is loved in contrast to someone who is feared or hated,
or about whom there is some strong regret. Once a numeric scale is elicited  (see below), calibrations can b e arrived
at by stating, “This item [such as this book, or ganization, this person’ s
motive, and so on] calibrates over 100,” then “over 200,” then “over 300,”
until a negative response is obtained. The calibration can then  be refined:
“It i s over 220? 225? 230?” and so on. T ester and testee can trade places,
and the same results will be obtained. Once one is familiar with the
technique, it can be used to evaluate companies, movies, ind ividuals, or
events in history; it can also be used to diagnose current life problems. The test procedure, the reader will note, is to use the muscle test to verify
the truth or falsi ty of a declarat ive statement. Unreliable respo nses will be
obtained if the question has not  been put into this form. Nor ca n a reliable
result be obtained from inquiry  into the future; only statemen ts regarding

years have confirmed that the cells and cellular systems have an amazing
ability - they can find a worn and pathologically

organism is oversaturated with poisons of modern civilization as a result of
malnutrition and impaired environment, his whole life
energy is spent on the removal of these toxins and maintain at

show that the accumulation in the body of exo-and endotoxins

modern medical philosophy, we never learn
