andelion, sunflower
seeds, garlic, spinach, green leafy vegetables, nuts (especially
almonds), dandelions.
Toxic sources
: Fluoride is added to many water supplies and to food
processed in areas containing high levels of fluoride. It is added to
most toothpastes and may be added to the soil in certain fertilizers.
Also found in seafood and oats.
Uses in the body
: Stronger tooth enamel and bones, fewer cavities,
fewer bone fractures, less osteoporosis in older women, higher birth
weights and higher rates of growth in children, reduces loss of
hearing if caused by otospongiosis of the inner ear. Also needed for
blood, skin, hair and nails.
Deficiency
: Decay of teeth, curvature of the spine, weak eyesight.
Toxicity
: Fluoride remains in the body for a long time, because it is
incorporated into the bones. Even just a little over the recommended
levels can cause painful and aching bones, stiffness, weakness,
chalky white areas on the teeth, brown or pitted teeth, knots on the
bones, rapid aging, increased rates of cancer, high death rate (up to
three
times higher in areas of high fluoride concentration in water
supply), sagging and wrinkled skin, scleroderma (hard patches of
skin). People in India sometimes suffer from the bone deformities
(i.e., hunchback) of skeletal fluorosis even when the fluorideconcentration in the water is only 11/2 times the RDA. Hot weather,
drinking lots of water, and low protein diets increase fluoride intake
and side effects. Large doses of fluoride are extremely poisonous.
Iron (Fe)
Acid/Alkaline
: Acid-forming
Food sources
: Fruits and vegetables, especially dark green leafy
vegetables, nuts (including almonds, hazelnuts, etc.), oranges,
grapes, bananas, kelp/dulse, raisins, figs, beets, carrots, tomato juice,
asparagus, parsley, lima beans, cucumbers, Brussels sprouts, winter
squash, broccoli, watercress, blackberries, whole grain products, root
vegetables, spinach, raw broccoli, green peas, avocados, prunes,
raisins, sesame and pumpkin seeds.
Toxic sources
: Industry, old plumbing pipes, water supplies,
environmental sources, including air, cast-iron pots and pans.
Uses in the body
: Essential for the formation of hemoglobin, myoglobin
and many enzymes, necessary for the formation of red blood cells,
and helps fight stress and disease. Iron affects the release of the
adrenal hormone aldosterone. Aldosterone increases sodium levels.
This aids alkalization and balances potassium. Works with glucose
and fructose as well as with some vitamins (E, C, etc.) and some
amino acids. Iron strengthens the immune system and increases
resistance to colds, infections and disease. It is the oxygen-carrying
component of the blood. Other possible uses in body: growth,
reproduction, teeth, skeletal, liver, lipids, cholesterol. Vitamin E and
zinc, taken in large doses, interfere with the absorption of iron.
Caffeine from coffee, tea or soft drinks interferes with the absorption
of iron. Excessive phosphorus consumption in people who eat lots of
canned food or in people who drink many soft drinks may block
absorption. Excessive sweating, or rapid food transit time through
the intestines can reduce iron. Low iron builds high lead and visa
versa. Lead interferes with hemoglobin formation and can create iron
deficiency anemia.
Deficiency
: Slight iron deficiency (that does not affect red blood cell
counts) may cause tiredness, headache, slower running times in
competitive runners, weakness, difficult menstruation, irritability,
depression and sleeplessness or troubled sleep. Severe irondeficiency may cause anemia or low red blood cell counts,
constipation, mouth soreness, brittle nails, pale skin or difficulty in
breathing. Other possible symptoms could be food cravings for
“nonfood items” such as ice, clay or starch, heart disease, impaired
mental skills. Can affect job performance, mood and memory.
Increases intestinal irritation and inflammation.
Toxicity
: Taking too much iron can cause unhealthy iron deposits in the
body, and can lead to the production of free radicals. The buildup of
iron in the tissues has been associated with a rare disease known as
hemochromatosis. Overdoses can cause bleeding from the stomach
or intestines, a drop in blood pressure, liver damage, reduced
resistance to infections, and could be fatal for young children.
Lead (Pb)
Acid/Alkaline
: Acid-forming
Food sources
: Food and plants grown in soil contaminated with lead.
Toxic sources
: Lead is ingested from a variety of
sources including
fresh and canned food, water, lead-based paint, lead-glazed pottery,
hair dyes, air pollution, car exhaust, tobacco smoke, on the solder of
tin cans, fumes from gasoline vapors while filling your gas tanks are
full of lead. Lead is a protoplasmic poison found in bleached white
sugar. Foods that help to detox lead: Pumpkin seeds, okra, rhubarb
root, cayenne pepper, peppermint, dulse, leafy greens and fruits.
Note
: Watch out for copper and aluminum cookware and storing acid-
foods in metal containers.
Uses in the body
: Unknown. Lead interferes with hemoglobin formation
and can create iron deficiency anemia. Lead is a protoplasmic poison,
which means it interferes with the proper life-energy enzyme
exchange in the living body.
Deficiency
: Lead is one of the most common and persistent neurotoxins
in the environment. Causes damage even at low levels. Lack of will
power, fatigue, lack of abstract thinking, allergies, anemia,
headaches, weakness, hyperactivity in children, brain dysfunction,
causes behavioral and learning problems, especially in children. Lead
settles in the brain, nerves, bones and the right kidney.
Toxicity
: Impaired nervous system (which can result in behavioralproblems such as hyperactivity in children), anemia, weakness,
muscle deterioration, lethargy, mental impairment, abdominal
discomfort, constipation, lack of will power, lack of abstract
thinking, lack of mental capacity, tooth decay, allergic reactions to
food and environment, increases in diabetes and multiple sclerosis.
Lithium (Li)
Acid//Alkaline
: Alkaline-forming
Food sources
: Kelp/dulse, whole grain foods, seeds.
Uses in the body
: Reduces aggressiveness, violence and self-destruction.
Deficiency
: Depression, manic depressive disorders, mania, suicide,
spousal and child abuse.
Toxicity
: Tremors, drowsiness, headaches, confusion, restlessness,
dizziness, psychomotor retardation, lethargy, coma.
Manganese (Mn)
Acid/Alkaline
: Alkaline-binding
Food sources
: All dark leafy green vegetables, spinach, bananas, beets,
blueberries, oranges, grapefruit, apricots, peas, kelp and other
seaweed, celery, legumes, nuts, grains, asparagus, pineapples.
Toxic sources
: Industrially inhaled manganese has been linked to
psychiatric and nervous disorders!
Uses in the body
: Thyroxine formation, formation of urea, lipotropic
activity of choline. Utilization of thiamine. Metabolism of
carbohydrates, strengthens tissues and bones, kidneys, liver,
pancreas, spleen, brain, heart and lymph. Works with neuro-
transmitters and energy metabolism. Component of bone and
cartilage formation. Activates many enzymes including pyruvate,
carboxylase, mitochondrial superoxide, arginase and dismutase.
Essential to catecholamine synthesis. Helps fertility and reproduction,
helps growth and sex hormone production, helps regulate blood
sugar and helps the body use proteins and carbohydrates.
Deficiency
: Rare. Atherosclerosis, confusion, tremors, impaired vision
and hearing, skin rash, elevated cholesterol, increased blood
pressure, irritability, pancreatic damage, sweating, increased heartrate, mental impairment, grinding of teeth, fatigue and
low
endurance. Weak bone, hair and fingernails. Skin conditions.
Conception issues and weight loss. Glandular disorders, weak tissue
respiration, defective reproduction functions, seizures and
convulsions, possible cramping, paralysis. However, calcium
deficiency is the reason for cramping.
Toxicity
: Known to be highly toxic when inhaled or taken intravenously.
Excess symptoms are CID or the human equivalent of Mad Cow
Disease.
Mercury (Hg)
Food sources
: Many types of fish, especially tuna
Toxic sources
: Contaminated fish, dental amalgams, water supplies,
thermometers, some batteries, manufacture and delivery of petroleum
products, fungicides (for grains and cereals), florescent lamps, hair
dyes, cosmetics, combustion of fossil fuels, fertilizers,
pharmaceutical preparations (diuretics and hemorrhoidal, etc.). This
source of mercury might suppress the immune system and the
body’s natural defense against infection and disease.
Uses in the body
: Mercury salts are used in medicine, agriculture, and
industry and accumulation of toxic levels is possible. Mercury alters

 was found to have 32 seals
piled up in its food-enzyme stomach. It must be kept in mind
that these food-enzyme stomachs secrete no enzymes or acid.
How do you suppose this huge pile of whole animals can be
broken down to a consistency small enough to pass through the small opening connecting the food-enzyme stomach to the
second stomach without enzymes to do the job? Physiologists
have also asked this ques tion and several papers from
physiologists in different countries have recently appeared in scientific literature trying to resolve this riddle.
   The Food Enzyme Concept is the only answer. Each of the
32 seals inside the whale has its own digestive enzymes in its stomach and pancreatic juices. When the whale swallows the
seal, these digestive enzymes become the property of the
whale. They are now its food enzymes and work for the
benefit of the whale during the many days required to digest
and empty the contents of the food-enzyme stomach. In addition, all animals have a proteolytic enzyme known as
cathepsin, which is widely distributed in muscles and organs,
yet has no known digestive function in life. After death, the body tissues become acidic, which is favorable for catheptic
activity. This enzyme then functions as the prime factor in autolysis, the breakdown of cells and tissues.
   Another example of the food-enzyme stomach is the crop of
birds using seeds as food, such as the chicken and pigeon.
Physiologists had always stated that the crop has no known
function, but that was before the Food Enzyme Concept brought together a consortium of facts to permit a new and
more mature outlook. The crop has no enzymes of its own,
but all seeds have a good inventory of them. It has been
demonstrated that during the sojourn of 10 to 15 hours that
intact seeds remain in the crop, they accumulate moisture; their enzymes multiply; there is incipient germination;
enzyme inhibitors are neutralized, and starch is digested to
dextrin and maltose. This digestion in the food-enzyme
stomach (crop) by food enzymes is continued when the crop
contents are emptied into the gizzard, and perhaps further along in the gastrointestinal tract. It becomes evident that in
many animals, perhaps all, provision has been made for the digestion of food by food enzymes. Is the human being
included?
FOOD ENZYME DIGESTION IN HUMANS
   According to the Food Enzyme Concept, there is a
mechanism operating in all creatures permitting food
enzymes to digest a particular fraction of the food in which
they are contained. In humans, the upper portion of the
stomach is in fact a food-enzyme stomach. This part secretes no enzymes. It behaves the same as other food-enzyme stomachs. When raw food with its enzymes is eaten, it goes into this peristalsis-free food -enzyme section of our stomach
where these food enzymes digest the food. In fact, the
digestion of the protein, carbohydrate, and fat in raw food begins in the mouth at the very moment the plant cell walls
are ruptured, releasing the food enzymes during the act of
mastication. After swallowing, digestion continues in the
food-enzyme section of the stomach for one-half to one hour,
or until the rising tide of acidity reaches a point where it is
inhibited. Then the stomach enzyme pepsin takes over.
   Once food is swallowed, it settles in a mass in the food-
enzyme section of our stomachs. If it is cooked, enzyme-free
food, it waits there for a period of one-half to one hour,
during which time nothing happens to it. If harmful bacteria are swallowed with the food they may attack it during this time of enforced idleness. The salivary enzyme works on the
carbohydrate, but the protein and fat must wait.
   Here is where proper enzyme digestive supplements fit in.
Taken and chewed up with the meal, these exogenous
digestive enzymes begin immediate digestion of all nutrients.
They work on the protein, carbohydrate, and fat during the half-hour to hour period that these foods remain in the food-
enzyme part of the stomach. According to the Law of
Adaptive Secretion of Digestive Enzymes, whatever digestion
is accomplished by enzyme supplements or food enzymes
does not have to be done by the digestive enzymes of the body. There is no further need for such rich digestive enzyme
juices. This desirable reaction results in a conservation of the
enzyme potential and body energy. It allows the body to devote its attention to supplying more metabolic enzymes for use by the organs and tissues to carry on their functions,
provide repairs, and bring about cures.
RESEARCH FINDINGS
   Let us check the Law of Adaptive Secretion of Digestive
Enz
ymes a gainst research findin gs. Some people believe that the low pH of the human stomach stops most of the digestive
activity of salivary, and, presumably, supplemental enzymes,
because the pH (measurement of the acidity or alkalinity of a
solution) of human saliva is neutral (7). It can be seen, however, that salivary amylase does assist in digestion in the
stomach, and that food and supplemental enzymes are even more effective.
   Olaf Bergeim, professor of physiology at Illinois College of
Medicine, reported his research on gastric salivary digestion
of starch with 12 dental students as subjects. Bergeim stressed
that starch digestion cannot be studied in vitro (in the
laboratory), but that the investigation must be done on
specimens of material that have been removed from the living
stomach after undergoing digestion. His results showed that
an average of 76 percent of the starch of mashed potatoes, and
59 percent of the starch of bread was converted to maltose, and an additional percentage  was changed to dextrose.
Bergeim quoted Muller, who used rice cereal as a test meal on
human subjects and found 59 to 80 percent of the
carbohydrate was rendered soluble, and 50 to 77 percent of
the starch in bread was made soluble when human subjects ate test meals. Professor Bergeim aspirated the digested food
from the stomach after 45 minutes, but concluded that even
15 minutes in the stomach allowed time for significant
digestion. The subjects were instructed to masticate the food
thoroughly, which ensured initial digestion by saliva even before the food was swallowed. The professor explained
experiments he made in vitro in which hydrochloric acid, a
chemical present in stomach juices, was added to saliva and caused permanent inactivation. However, investigations by
others have since shown that the average human secretions of
hydrochloric acid are not as concentrated as was believed.
This not only allows more stomach digestion to occur by
salivary amylase and exogenous enzymes, but permits more reactivation of the enzymes after the stomach contents
become neutralized in the alkaline duodenum. More recent
experiments conducted in Europe in vivo (in the living
organism) found that salivary amylase and supplemental
enzymes were recovered in the duodenum and lower in the intestine, showing that supplemental enzymes and food
enzymes may be reactivated by the juices of the intestine.
   Research by Dr. Beazell reported in the Journal of
Laboratory and Clinical Medicine, 1941, and the American
journal of Physiology, 1941, holds more information. Using
11 normal, young adult males, Beazell found that the human
stomach digested several times more starch than protein at the end of an hour. Therefore he felt that the emphasis placed on
the stomach as an or
gan for protein di gestion is mis placed, because the stomach digests more starch than protein.
Furthermore, if the salivary am ylase can digest considerable
starch at a pH no lower than 5 or 6, how much protein, fat,
and starch can food enzymes or supplemental enzymes digest, since their range for activity extends down even below 3 in
some instances?
   The foregoing evidence clearly establishes that a large
quantity of starch is regularly digested in the human stomach
by salivary amylase, even though it is not the ideal enzyme to
work in the stomach. Where, then, do critics get the authority
to state that food enzymes and supplemental enzymes do not digest food in the stomach? Reading such statements in
textbooks is misleading. They may merely be the opinions of
the authors, unless they are shown to be based on actual
research work that is recorded in scientific periodical
literature. What is to prevent food enzymes and supplemental enzymes, with better pH credentials than salivary amylase,
from digesting even more protein, fat, and carbohydrate in the stomach?
   Work done at the laboratory of physiology at Northwestern
University bears heavily on the quantity of supplemental
enzymes passing through the stomach uninjured. In the
Journal of Nutrition, A. C. Ivy, C. R. Schmitt, and J. M.
Beazell showed by experiments on humans that an average of
51 percent of malt amylase, an enzyme produced by
germinating barley, passed into the intestine in active form,
after it had digested starch in the stomach. In human subjects,
malt amylase augmented the digestion of starch when a deficiency of salivary secretion was simulated. It must be
remembered that the subjects used were healthy, young males

 pain informs you, which part of your body requires
attention. When you attend the wound promptly by cleaning it with clean water or your
own saliva and covering it perhaps, the pain is greatly reduced. If y ou do not clean the
wound, it would be automatically cleaned by the blood flowing from it, a nd then the
blood flow would be stopped.

During the healing process, the pain is limited or eliminated, unl ess you try to use the
damaged organ too soon – increasing pain informs you immediately that your organ is
not yet ready.

The body performs a repair job on itself. All cells which were s eparated by a cut are
growing to join together again. There are many different types of cells a nd tissues being
reconstructed and then connected. Even if some of the tissue is mi ssing, the body
replaces it. Sometimes a temporary scar tissue is used, which is later replaced by the
optimal tissue selected by the body.

Note that all this microsurgery with perfectly adjusted anesthe tic happens automatically
within your body. No one has any right to take any credit for such healing. You did the
healing for yourself, with the perfect result.

In the healing process, your attention was not bothered with any boring  details of
healing process. It seems, that the healing method, together with the detailed
regeneration and repair schedule for every cell has already been known. Your attention
was not engaged in any minute details, because all these details  have been solved long
ago during your evolution, have been stored somewhere between the DNA a nd your
subconscious mind, and are simply not worth paying attention to.

In a similar way, your attention is not engaged in any of t he normal functions of your
body like digestion, metabolism, blood circulation, temperature control or g rowing
nails.

It seems, that the body self healing described above is also a nor mal function, deserving
no more of your attention than blood circulation, metabolism or growing hair.  19
It is easy to point out, that the body self-healing described above is  not limited to cuts
and bruises. On the contrary – it covers every possible organ  and every possible
function  of our body.

Simple logic also suggests that such healing occurs all the time, and every organ is
actually continuously being repaired “on the go” – as required.

When the body performs such self repair without turning our attention to it, we feel
healthy and comfortable. Everybody, including medical practitioners r ecognize such a
situation as a state of good health. We feel happy and content, and we  never think of
seeking any medical advice. We also feel that whatever we do t o our body in such a
state is right.

A natural question arises: are there any limits to such healing?

Let us come back again to our example of a simple cut.

Again, simple logic supported by practical experience suggests that the more damage is
made to the body – the more difficult will be the corresponding rep air job. When the
damage is excessive, for example a limb is totally crushed or  detached from the body,
the healing process becomes extremely difficult.

The above description is quite simplified explanation of the body self -healing process,
which nevertheless offers a sufficient and quite convincing explanation for man y of us.

Those who need more examples and arguments or those willing to lear n in greater
detail can find more information in the wonderful and inspiring books of D eepak
Chopra for example, which are listed in the References.

  20  HOW WE DEVELOP DISEASES

So we have perfect body, capable of automatic self-repair, wit hout even bothering us
with any mundane details of its repair jobs. A program embedded i n our DNA and the
subconscious mind, developed through billions of years of existence of various  life
forms, automatically manages all repairs to optimize our comfort and performa nce.

However, there is one very important condition.

As we noticed from the example in the previous chapter, the repair is carried out
perfectly and effortlessly, only when the extent of the damage to the body is limited.

Let us try to explore the limits to the extent of such damage.

The key question is this:

How much abuse can our body withstand, before it fa ils to function
perfectly?

It is quite difficult to answer this question without additional information and analysi s.

Let us start by examining the ways by which we could possibly a buse our mind-body
system during our life. A short list of possible means of abuse is presented below.
1.  Poisoning.
2.  Wrong diet.
3.  Overeating.
4.  Not enough sleep or rest
5.  Accumulation of stress and anxiety
6.  Bad hygiene
7.  Excessive physical activity
8.  Exposure to radiation
9.  Exposure to noise
10.  Exposure to dust

Note, that in many cases, our limited knowledge  does not allow us to predict the extend
of the damage and therefore we could easily underestimate the cons equences of our
actions.

In some cases we can be aware, that we are abusing our body, and I would like to
exclude such cases from further consideration. Simply speaking, we should be prepared
for facing the consequences of any such abuse, whatever their extend might be.

It is an abuse, which we are  not  aware of, which is actually the most important. The
main reason for such importance is the fact, that without our knowle dge and consent
such abuse can continue over one’s lifetime. This especially applies to situations, when  21  there is a significant delay in symptoms. As a result we could face problems, without
ever realizing the reason for them.

Some of the means of abuse listed above are sporadic, while others c ontinue over an
entire lifetime. Simple logic dictates that the latter should deserve our special attention,
because their source is basically in our ignorance and/or misinformation.

Now, let us go back to our list of possible means of abuse and examine  in which areas
our ignorance (or pride that we know best) could lead to slow, but more or less
continuous damage to our body without our consent.

With respect to radiation the situation is different. We have to use  scientific instruments
to assess the danger. Japanese had to use Geiger counters to exa mine their food after
World War 2. I have not heard anyone opposing the view that we should avoid
radiation as much as possible, so I will not dispute this either.

The first three items on the list of means of abuse should deserve our special atte ntion.
1.  Poisoning.
2.  Wrong diet.
3.  Overeating.

All three are not clear and objective: it is not clear what ex actly is a “poison”, it is
questionable just what represents a “wrong” diet and just how much food is  actually too
much.

As a result, all three forms of abuse may co-exist over an enti re lifetime, only because
we are misinformed.

Notice, that all three relate closely to our diet (food and beverage consumption).

  22  Diet and its consequences

Let us take an example of the involuntary abuse of our body.

Suppose your water supply contains a poison which has no taste in low concent ration
(eg. fluoride). Your body has a limited capacity to metabolise, neutr alise and excrete
such a toxic poison. In the first few years it copes very well. But the intake of the
poison gradually exceeds the capacity of the body to expel it. So the poison
accumulates somewhere in your body, in your bones for example. When the
concentration of this poison exceeds a certain limit, perhaps afte r 10-20 years of
drinking such water, you may develop symptoms of arthritis. The act ual delay as well
as symptoms may vary, depending on your lifestyle, diet etc..

Now imagine, that your diet contains an unknown number of mysterious ingredients.

Your body tries to cope. It never lets you down, if it is at all  possible. It tries to
metabolise and excrete everything, but unfortunately you take some more toxins in
with your next meal. Unable to free itself from all unwanted s ubstances, the body
temporarily  deposits some of these substances in various forms and in various organs
around your body in the hope, that conditions for their disposal may arise l ater.
However, you do not know and do not care about creating such conditions. Tempora ry
deposits become permanent and continue to grow. If the deposits are not toxic enough
to actually kill you immediately, depending on a number of conditions:

• you can become overweight and/or
• your body enters a state of “healing crisis” – simply speakin g you develop a
disease and/or
• your body begins to age quickly-the rate of damage is accelerated

Note, that the conclusion we reached by examining the natural functi ons of our body is
that the development of diseases in the body is a direct consequence  of diet, the fact
that Medical science started admitting only recently.

We also found how we can tell that we are eating the wrong diet. O ur body from time
to time enters into an uncomfortable state of “healing crisis” ( commonly known as
“disease”) trying to communicate to our conscious mind that it cannot  cope any more
and


 a Ph.D.”
“You just have standards,” I suggested.
“Right. I think of it as a package. If the whole package is right, the details
don’t matter all that much.”
“Assuming that she, whoever she is, likes your package,” I said. Delaney
nodded. He was amazingly immune to irony, and I knew it wasn’ t fair for
me to aim it at him. He really did want to fall in love—it was his biggest
goal in life—and since Delaney had succeeded at all his other goals, it was
frustrating how elusive this one was turning out to be. Once he and I had
done a residency together in Boston, where he had been raised in a
working-class family, and we later moonlighted at the same suburban
emer gency room to make ends meet. It had been fifteen years since he set
up his cardiology practice, and only now, in his midforties, did Delaney feel
he could make time to find a mate. It was hard for him to hide how
confused about it he was in his own mind.
“Thank God I’m not one of those guys who’ s dumping his wife of thirty
years for a sexy twenty-someth ing girlfriend,” he said. “For me this is a
fresh start. I’m optimistic, I’m patient, but I guess—”
“What?” I asked.
Delaney looked away, a faint cloud of doubt on his face. “I don’t know.
Maybe I’m too old,” he muttered.
“Or too demand ing,” I said. “Isn’t a sexy twenty-something part of the
package you’re looking for? Be honest.”
He shrugged sheepishly. “A guy can hope.”I felt a sudden  uneasiness about Delaney and his newest project,
immediately followed by a wave of sadness. The fact that our culture
teaches us so little about love was staring me in the face. We had been
talking about a man’s “love life” for an hour, and yet we hadn’ t touched on
anything even remotely resembling love.
“Have you ever fallen in love before?” I asked. “Really fallen?” Delaney
looked startled,  apparently not expecting our conversation to get this
personal. He hesitated.
“Well; I’m not coming from nowhere on this thing,” he said. “I’ve had
some really sweet times, and lots of women want to go out with me.” I
nodded.
“Listen, we don’t have to go anywhere you don’t want to go,” I said
quietly. “But I think you’re feeling a little lost.” He stiffened, and I could
see him retreat inwardly. I said, “That wasn’ t an accusation. It’s natural to
feel lost. Especially if you’re not looking in the right places.”
“I hate the places where I go,” he said angrily.
“The bars? Ever yone hates those places,” I said. “But that’s not what I
meant. You’re not looking in yourself—that’ s the place where she is,
whoever you hope to find.” Delaney stared at me as if I was indulging in
paradox, but I pressed on. “You’ve had a lot of accomplishment in your life,
and basically you’ve used the same approach every time. You see a
challenge, you muster your resources, and with enough confidence and self-
assurance you win what you’re after. That’ s right, isn’t it?” He agreed.
“Accomplishing anything important involv es risk,” I said, “and therefore
fear. But if you let the fear dominate, you’d never take any risks, and
therefore you wouldn’ t accomplish anything.”
“Are you saying I’m afraid to fall in love?” he asked. “Then why would I
be looking for it?”
“No, I’m not saying that,” I replied. “But love and fear very often touch,
and people like you, who have undertaken very difficult thing s—going to
medical school on a shoestring,  opening your own practice, raising money
for expa nsion and new ventures—have to learn how to keep fear out of the
picture. And not just fear—self -doubt, confusion, despair, hopelessness—
most of the common human frailties, in fact. Keeping your frailties out of
sight becomes extremely impor tant if you want to amount to anything in
this world, but that is exactly the opposite of what love demands.”Delaney flinched. I could tell he didn’ t like the word demand. “I have
weaknesses, like everybody else,” he said grudgingly. “What do you want
me to do—go around parading how vulnerable I am so that some woman
will take pity on me?”
“You’re exaggerating because you hate the idea so much,” I said. “No,
you aren’t out to attract pity. What I’m trying to get at is that ‘normal’ life
requires everyone to appear as strong as possible, and this tactic, which may
work in other areas, fails miserably when it comes to love.”
Like most people, Delaney had never considered how his inner world
was constructed, but everyone creates psychological divisions as a means of
survival. We wall off inner compartments, and into them we shove all the
undesirable things about ourselves—our secret fears, weaknesses, and
flaws, our deep sense of doubt, our belief that we may be ugly or unlovable.
Everyone has these dark chambers of the soul.
“Do you think you’re lovable?” I asked Delaney.
“My God, what a question!” he blurted. “It’s not anything I think about. I
just want to get married, you know, like everyone else.”
“That question would take most people aback,” I said, “but why? Is it
embarrassing to feel lovable? The discomfort arises because love can feel
too personal, even for ourselve s; it pokes into those compartm ents where
our nega tive self-image is stored. Unfortunately, to fall in love means going
there—that’ s what love demands.”
True love is more dangerous than most people are willing to admit. It
arouses the same discomfort as in dreams where you find yourself naked in
a public place. If falling in love meant going into all the dark chambers of
the soul, none of us would risk it. On the other hand, to love another person
involves openin g up your whole  being. What makes the risk possible is the
ingredient of spirit.
Spirit is the real you, beyond all divisions into good and bad, desirable
and undesirable, lovable and unlovable. Love exposes this reality, which is
why falling in love is a blessed  state. For many people it is the only one
they will ever know in a lifetime. The spiritual overtones of romantic love
are unmistakab le. First there is a tremendous emotional opening, a
liberation. Your whole being flows toward your beloved as if the two of you
share the same feelings, the same likes and dislikes, almost the same breath.
The secondary effect of this inrush of delight is a release of cares andanxiety; the cloud of infatuation  swallows up worries over such trivialities
as money, career, and the fate of mankind. Even if you had no spiritual
background at all, you would have tasted the soul’ s sweetness by falling in
love. As the great Persian poet Rumi says,
When love first tasted the lips of being human,
It started singing.
This blessing of falling in love comes from spirit, but it can be blocked by
ego. Ego is responsible for protecting your self-image; it creates the
compartments where everything undesirable about you has been hidden.
What blocks love is not the presence of these shadow energies but the
division of the psyche that came about when your ego started building inner
walls. Love is a flow, and walls keep the flow out.
In spiritual terms, this is the problem of duality. By dividing good from
bad, right from wrong, we essentially insist that parts of ourselves are
unlovable—why else would we keep them out of sight? We turn ourselves
into packages, exactly the kind Delaney talks about. The packa ge seems to
contain only good and worthy things, but if another person ventures to love
us, the whole package spills open, and a lot of what it contains isn’ t so nice.
The cruelest consequence of duality is that we believe in the rightness of
shutting love out. “Being open ” is equated with “being weak.” “Being
closed” is equated with “bein g strong.” And society reinforces these
dualities by reminding us, day in and day out, that this is not a world where
love is safe.
As with most people, I don’t encounter much love except inside my
home. On waki ng I see my wife’ s face beside me, and many mornings I
marvel at the ineffable love this sight inspires, something far more delicate
and moving than I can put into words. Yet beside my bed also lies the
newspaper I read to get to sleep, and in it is all the hatred anyone could
imagine. On every page I confront the catastrophic failure of love. There is
personal failure  in the overwh elming amount of divorce, litigation, and
social bitterness we’ve learned to live with. There is public failure in the
war, street crime, and oppression we all go to bed praying will not strike us.

that your subconscious mind cannot solve your problem. This leads to
mental and emotional congestion, fol-lowed by sickness and neurotic
tendencies.
To realize your desire and overcome your frustration, affirm  boldly
several times a day: “The infinite intelligence which gav e me this
desire leads, guides, and reveals to me the perfect plan for t he
unfolding of my desire. I know the deeper wisdom of my
subconscious is now responding, and what I feel and claim wi thin is
expressed in the without. There is a balance, equilibrium, and
equanimity.”
If you say, “There is no way out; I am lost; there is no way out  of
this dilemma; I am stymied and blocked,” you will get no answ er or
 37  response from your subconscious mind. If you want the subconscious
to work for you, give it the right request, and attain its co-op eration. It
is always working for you. It is con-trolling your heartbeat thi s minute
and also your breathing. It heals a cut on your finger, and its tendency
is lifeward, forever seeking to take care of you and preserve you. Your
subconscious has a mind of its own, but it accepts your patter ns of
thought and imagery.
When you are seeking an answer to a problem, your sub-conscious
will respond, but it expects you to come to a decision and to a t rue
judgment in your conscious mind. You must acknowledge the answer
is in your subconscious mind. However, if you say, “I don’t think
there is any way out; I am all mixed up and confused; why don’t I get
an answer?” you are neutralizing your prayer. Like the soldie r
marking time, you do not get anywhere.
Still the wheels of your mind, relax, let go, and quietly affirm:  “My
subconscious knows the answer. It is responding to me now. I give
thanks because I know the infinite intelligence of my subc onscious
knows all things and is revealing the perfect answer to me  now. My
real conviction is now setting free the majesty and glory of m y
subconscious mind. I rejoice that it is so.”
• Review of highlights
1. Think good, and good follows. Think evil, and evil follows. You
are what you think all day long.
2. Your subconscious mind does not argue with you. It ac-cepts
what your conscious mind decrees. If you say, “I can’t afford it,” it
may be true, but do not say it. Select a better thought, decree, “ I’ll buy
it. I  accept it in my mind.”
3. You have the power to choose. Choose health and happiness. You
can choose to be friendly, or you can choose to be unfriendly. Choose
to be co-operative, joyous, friendly, lovable, and the whole world  will
respond. This is the best way to develop a wonderful personality.
 38  4. Your conscious mind is the “watchman at the gate.” Its chief
function is to protect your subconscious mind from false impres sions.
Choose to believe that something good can happen and is happening
now. Your greatest power is your capacity to choose. Choose
happiness and abundance.
5. The suggestions and statements of others have no power to hurt
you. The only power is the movement of your own thought. You can
choose to reject the thoughts or statements of others and affir m the
good. You have the power to choose how you will react.
6. Watch what you say. You have to account for every idle word.
Never say, “I will fail; I will lose my job; I can’t pay the rent.” Your
subconscious cannot take a joke. It brings all these things to pass.
7. Your mind is not evil. No force of nature is evil. It depends how
you use the powers of nature. Use your mind to bless, heal, and inspire
all people everywhere.
8. Never say, “I can’t.” Overcome that fear by substituting  the
following, “I can do all things through the power of my own
subconscious mind.”
9. Begin to think from the standpoint of the eternal truths and
principles of life and not from the standpoint of fear, ignora nce, and
superstition. Do not let others do your think-ing for you. Choose your
own thoughts and make your own decisions.
10. You are the captain of your soul (subconscious mind) and the
master of your fate. Remember, you have the capacity to choos e.
Choose life! Choose love! Choose health! Choose happiness!
11. Whatever your conscious mind assumes and believes to be true,
your subconscious mind will accept and bring to pass. Believe in good
fortune, divine guidance, right action, and all the blessings of life.

The Miracle-Working Power of Your
Subconscious
The power of your subconscious is enormous. It inspires you, it
guides you, and it reveals to you names, facts, and scenes from the
storehouse of memory. Your subconscious started your heartbeat,
controls the circulation of your blood, and regulates your digestion,
assimilation, and elimination.
When you eat a piece of bread, your subconscious mind transmutes
it into tissue, muscle, bone, and blood. This process is beyond the ken
of the wisest man who walks the earth. Your subconscious mind
controls all the vital processes and functions of your body and knows
the answer to all problems.
Your subconscious mind never sleeps, never rests. It is al- ways on
the job. You can discover the miracle-working power of your
subconscious by plainly stating to your subconscious prior to sleep
that you wish a certain specific thing accomplished. You will  be
delighted to discover that forces within you will be re-leased, l eading
to the desired result. Here, then, is a source of power and wisdom
which places you in touch with omnipotence or the power that moves
the world, guides the planets in their course, and causes the sun to
shine.
Your subconscious mind is the source of your ideals, aspira-tions,
and altruistic urges. It was through the subconscious mind that
Shakespeare perceived great truths hidden from the average man of
his day. Undoubtedly, it was the response of his sub-conscious mind
that caused the Greek sculptor, Phidias, to por-tray beauty, order,
symmetry, and proportion in marble and bronze. It enabled the Ita lian
artist, Raphael, to paint Madonnas, and Ludwig van Beethoven to
compose symphonies.
 40  In 1955 I lectured at the Yoga Forest University, Rishikesh, India,
and there I chatted with a visiting surgeon from Bombay. He tol d me
about Dr.
James Esdaille, a Scotch surgeon, who worked in Bengal before
ether or other modern methods of anesthesia were discovered.
Between 1843 and 1846, Dr. Es-daille performed about four hundred
major operations of all kinds, such as amputations, remova l of tumors
and cancerous growths, as well as operations on the eye, ear,  and
throat. All operations were conducted under mental anesthesia on ly.
This Indian doctor at Rishikesh informed me that the postoper ative
mortality rate of patients operated on by Dr. Esdaille wa s ex-tremely
low, probably two or three percent. Patients felt no pain, and  there
were no deaths during the operations.
Dr. Esdaille suggested to the subconscious minds of all his pati ents,
who were in a hypnotic state, that no infection or septic cond ition
would develop.
You must remember that this was be-fore Louis Pasteur, Josep h
Lister, and others who pointed out the bacterial origin of diseas e and
causes of infection due to unsterilized instruments and virulent
organisms.
This Indian surgeon said that the reason for the low mor-tali ty rate
and the general absence of infection, which was re-duced to a
minimum, was undoubtedly due to the suggestions of Dr. Esdaille to
the subconscious minds of his patients. They responded according t o
the nature of his suggestion.
It is simply wonderful, when you conceive how a surgeon, over one
hundred twenty years ago, discovered the miraculous wonder-working
powers of the subconscious mind. Doesn’t it cause you to be seiz ed
with a sort of mystic awe when you stop and think of the
transcendental powers of your subconscious mind? Consider its
extrasensory perceptions, such as its ca-pacity for clairv oyance and
clairaudience, its independence of time and space, its capac ity to
render you free from all pain and suffering, and its capacity to get the
 41  answer to all problems, be they what they may. All these a nd many
more reveal to you that there is a power and intelligence within you
that far tran-scends your intellect, causing you to marvel at the
wonders of it ail. All these experiences cause you to rejoic e and
believe in the miracle-working powers of your own subconscious
mind.
• Your subconscious is your Book of Life
Whatever thoughts, beliefs, opinions, theories, or dogmas


 them at their own level of understanding. Some people will pay anything to get well after they are sick. We find as far as  health
is conc erned, you can’t pay for it —you earn it. You work for it. So often the average treatments we have today leave the patient
void of knowledge, with no change of consciousness. Unless you elevate your mental attitude, your consciousness, you’re not
taking a b etter health path. Too many people with coffee -and-donut lifestyles go see the doctor, get a treatment, then go right back
out to that caffeine and sugar habit again. They will be back, you can bet on it! No one in a hospital should ever be allowed  to
leave until they are given a full day of instruction on how to manage their kitchens at home, how to feed their families and how to
prevent recurrence of the trouble that brought them there. Otherwise, they will soon be back in the hospital. You may think I ’m a
little harsh in this, but every doctor says that one operation leads to another. Do you know why? Because nothing was done to  deal
with the original cause which led to the first operation.

LET’S OPERATE ON THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OF THE BODY
I ask my patien ts what operations they’ve had and almost invariably with everyone, the first is a tonsillectomy. The doctor
removes a lymph gland organ and this is one of the organs that eliminates catarrh, phlegm and mucus acids. It is the only par t of
the lymphatic sys tem that functions to externally throw off what your body can’t use. The next operation is the appendix; this is
also lymphoid tissue. What’s going on here? We don’t keep our bodies clean; we don’t know how to keep them clean. Cleanliness
can begin in many  ways but we can’t put new wine in old bottles. We can’t put clean food into a dirty body and expect good
results. We’re only going to get partial, perhaps even negligible results. We have to do better than that. We have been train ed to
believe that if the  bowel isn’t functioning correctly we can turn to laxatives. I believe there are more laxatives sold in this country
than any other drug with perhaps the exception of aspirin. Cold remedies are very heavy sellers, as are tranquilizers; but yo u will
find la xatives in almost every home. Somebody in each family always seems to be constipated; somebody in the family has bowel
trouble. When the children used to get sick, what did grandmother suggest? An enema of course. Grandma and grandpa used
sulphur and molas ses, and they had many other ways to take care of the bowel. But we find that laxatives are not the solution
to bowel problems. We have to go deeper. We must realize that the bowel has the poorest nerve structure of any organ in the b ody.
Having the poores t nerve structure, the bowel can’t signal its problems. If you get a little pinprick on the finger you immediately
pull away from the pain that causes the distress. But there are no painful distress signals in the bowel because it has such poor
nerve react ions and nerve sup -plies. Where there is a problem in the bowel, and you feel it, you are really in trouble. You must
recognize that the average person doesn’t take care of the bowel until the very last thing. This was brought home to me espec ially
with th e death of the popular movie actor, John Wayne. We find that he first had an operation on the lung. Three months later, he
had an operation on the stomach. Another three months and he had an operation on the bowel. We tend to leave the bowel until
last.

BACKGROUND EXPERIENCES
Often, parents neglect to teach their children about bowel movements and regularity. I grew up just like Topsy. If I was busy
playing, I let the bowel movement go; if it didn’t happen today, I’d wait until tomorrow. I had a patient fr om Brazil who was
having a bowel movement every 18 days, and her previous doctor told her that was normal. She experienced menstrual disorders
and constant headaches for years and she also had aching shoulders. I knew I didn’t have to do anything about the se symptoms.
Instead, I took care of her bowel. You know, when she started having one bowel movement a day for a month’s time, her shoulde r
pains disappeared and her headaches were gone. After three month’s time, she no longer had her old menstrual problem s.

I once studied diet and wholistic healing methods with Dr. Glenn J. Sipes in a San Francisco college. One time he received a phone
call asking him to see someone in Walnut Creek, California, which is just the other side of Oakland. Because it was an e mergency,
he agreed to go and asked me to go with him. On arriving, we found a young man about 26 years of age, red as a beet and oozin g
liquid from his skin. He had extreme pain throughout his entire body and a very high fever. Dr. Sipes tapped the man’s bowel with
his fingers and asked when he’d had his last bowel movement. The young man said he couldn’t remember. Dr. Sipes turned to the
mother and asked her to prepare an enema, as the young man needed one right away. She asked what an enema was. Now, her e
was a mother who didn’t even know about enemas! There wasn’t a thing in that house to give an enema with, but Dr. Sipes was a
man who could always find his way out. He went outside, down to the creek and cut a piece of reed about 2 -1/2 feet long. He had
the mother fill up a kettle with warm water. He cleaned the pith out of the reed with baling wire, took some of the warm wate r and
blew it into the rectum, causing the man to eliminate. This procedure was repeated for over an hour. In an hour and a half, t he
man’s fever had completely dropped to normal. There was no more redness of the skin and no more pain in his body. The effects
of that enema made a powerful impression on me. This is just one experience I’ve had and I could tell about hundreds more.
Grandmother used enemas to take care of the bowel for the same reason that people in early cultures used herbs. They didn’t have
any scientific reason for using herbs, but experience showed they worked. They used herb tea for the kidneys because it worke d. In
Mexico, they use Manzanita tea; in the Causasus, they use Camomile tea. Over the years, the specific uses of herbs have becom e
more or less catalogued so we know what effects they have upon specific organs in the body. Enemas also work. However, I don’ t
think our work in this area is complete.

One of the first things doctors often say is that you can’t reabsorb toxic material from the bowel; and I once believed that too. I
graduated from college with those ideas, but I found in practice that when we take care of the bowel condition from an enema
standpoint, there is a certain amount of water retained in the bowel and immediately after, there is an excess amount of wate r going
through the kidneys. The person urinates a good deal. I began to wonder, was it p ossible that the water went through the bowel to
the kidneys without taking some of the waste material along with it? Years ago, we used to take urinalyses of people, and ind ican
was one of the things we always tested for. Indican revealed the toxic materi al absorbed from some parts of the body, usually from
the bowel, and eliminated through the kidneys. Today, indican is not checked in urinalysis. In fact, the bowel isn’t consider ed
important enough to take care of. I have seen books in our universities th at claim one bowel movement every five days may be
considered normal. However, normal in today’s world does not necessarily mean healthy.

DETOXIFICATION: THE PATH TO IMPROVED HEALTH
Detoxification is often neglected, overlooked or underestimated in the healing arts, despite the fact that all health profess ionals
realize that a sick body is a toxic body. Toxic acids are normal products of cell catabolism, and we also assimilate varying  amounts
of toxic material from the air we breathe, the food we eat and other environmental sources. When these can be eliminated from  the
body, there is no problem. But when toxins are being assimilated or created in the body faster than they can be gotte n rid of, or
when one or more of the eliminative systems are underactive, trouble lies ahead. I am convinced that toxic accumulations in t he
body create the necessary preconditions for disease to develop.

DEVELOPING A TOXIC COLON
I believe that when the bowel is underactive, toxic wastes are more likely to be absorbed through the bowel wall and into the
bloodstream from which they become deposited in the tissues. If any eliminative system is underactive, more wastes are retain ed
in the body. As toxins acc umulate in the tissues, increasing degrees of cell destruction take place. The digestion becomes poor and
partially digested material adds to the problem because the body cannot make good tissue out of half -digested nutrients. Proper
function is slowed in all

I was 6 years old at that time and got scarlet fever and diphtheria. The condition was serious and I was brought to the public hospital. Since there was no medication available in the hospital, I had to gargle with my urine and I had to drink it. At this time, I heard that farmers wee on wounds and I heard stories about soldiers surviving with urine and using it to save fingers, noses and ears when frozen. The treatment worked very well and I still use and recommend urine therapy to all.”  Urine: The Holy Water by Harald W. Tietze  DIZZINESS  “Shri Keshavbhai G. Patel, Manager, Adarsh Dairy, Bombay; suffered from whirling sensation in the brain due to gas or other disturbance for the last 25 years. He used to take myrobalan powder daily but in case he forgot to take it, there would surely be the sensation. He took urine treatment and the sensation has gone for ever and he has left the powder too.”  Manav Mootra by R.M. Patel 74  DROPSY  “Many years ago, this treatment was adopted by Raj Vaidya of Palanpur State to treat my cousin Shri Chandulal T. Shah, who suffered from dropsy. Raj Vaidya had made him to fast on urine for 21 days. He drank his entire auto-urine passed during the day and packs of urine were applied on abdomen. On the third day he had vomiting and loose motions and there through bile and water were discharged from the stomach and the intestines. Within 21 days fast his abdomen became very soft and light. At the end of the fast he was given 5 khakharas with the water of buttermilk. This diet continued for 15 months. Consequently, he became quite healthy and strong.”  Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  DRY SORE  “Shri Ranjitmal Lodha of 32 years lives in Ajmer. In 1976 he developed dry sores on his chest and back. For some time allopathic medicine did give some relief but on discontinuation again the whole condition would return.  Once he happened to read Arogyaka amulya Sadhan : Swamutra. On reading it, he began massaging daily for ten minutes with urine. Within 10-12 days his sores disappeared. Now he prevails upon others also to adopt this therapy for any ailment.”  from Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  DYSENTERY  “Shri Ratibhai M. Desai (Malad, Bombay) could cure his 3 years old dysentery by this treatment.”  Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  DYSENTERY  “Amrit N. Wadia, B.A., age 52, informs that his daughter, Sunita, age 18, had dysentery, and there was blood in her stools. There was pain in her stomach. She was treated with Urine Therapy and given enemas of half a pound of urine, mixed with one pound of warm water. She was cured within a week with Urine Therapy.”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn  75 DYSENTERY  “My son Satish, age 2 1/2, suffered from recurrent sickness since birth. Dysentery, vomiting and fever were the usual symptoms. He got fever on June 28th, 1960 which generally went up to 105 degrees and did not subside at once. After that, on November 15th of that year, he got inflammation on the whole body, which continued for six days. Only then the doctor could diagnose that it was dropsy. At last medicines were stopped, but a new trouble arose. The child got blood and pus in the urine along with dysentery.  The urine treatment was then started from December 5th, 1960. The boy was given fresh urine. Besides that, it was rubbed on his whole body. In diet, he was given rice and lentil soup. Thus the fever which could not be controlled for 4 1/2 months was checked within 6 days of this treatment. Next week, he began to move his knees. In the third week he stood up and began to totter. The treatment was continued up to February  3rd, 1961. Even after that, the child got a new life and health treatment, at a time when the days of his life were numbered.”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn  DYSENTERY  “Dr. Javant J. Kamdar writes that he could cure his complicated dysentery only by Urine Therapy.”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn  DYSENTERY  “In October 1995, I received a letter from Mr. Maloney who was vacationing in India. He had been very careful with the water and food there because tourists often developed malaria, cholera, dysentery and food poisoning due to lack of toilet paper and poor sanitary conditions. During a religious ceremony he was compelled to drink water from a sacred well and developed dysentery since the water was contaminated. By the time he had the first symptoms he was on a train to a city 48 hours away. Vomiting and diarrhea started a few hours after the departure and he started to drink an abundant amount of urine hoping to control or eliminate the problem (He should have used diluted urine under the tongue). Although the condition improved some, he started to worry because there was no medical attention available for more than 40 hours. He had a copy of this book with him and he started reading the chapter on AUTOTHERAPY. I explained how Dr. Charles Duncan prepared vaccines using the pathological discharge caused by the disease, feces in this case. Maloney prepared the vaccine in a couple of hours and 76 administered it to himself. Relief was almost instantaneous. He felt a warm feeling come over his intestines and he gradually started recuperating. A few hours later it was all over, and except for some intestinal gas the next day, there was no other problem. He was very appreciative to have read about the vaccine because he feared what could have happened if he had to be admitted into a hospital in India. He had no other problems during the rest of the trip and in his letter he thanked me for including this lifesaving information in my book.”  Uropathy by Martin J.

Pandit informs that in 1966 in Calcutta a 12-year-old boy Rajendra Gadgil was having acute pain in the ear by putting a few drops of fresh urine in the ear he ·was so completely relieved of the pain that he went to sleep and could wake up only in the morning. Next day some dirt was found thrown out of the ear and he was completely relieved of the pain.”  from Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  EAR DISCHARGE  “Shri Chaturbhai B. Patel of Mogari Village (Anand} came to me  in the second week of May 1958. His 16 years old  daughter suffered from an ear-trouble since long and was brought there for a  doctor's treatment. I advised that the  girl should be taken home and a few drops of  auto-urine be put into her ears for three or four days. I assured him that it would certainly eliminate her  pain. The girl followed my advice and returned  to her village. After three days I received a letter reporting that her ear-trouble had vanished by auto-urine but some discharge continued. I advised again that the ear should be washed by a syringe with urine; some drops of urine should then be put and the ear plugged with cotton. The next day I was informed that her ear-trouble had disappeared altogether.”  Manav Mootra by R.M.

 part of the Self that I call “me.” That is a
start, and it is a good start, but  it is only the beginning. In the end, if no one else is uplifted, I
have healed but one of more than six billion parts. That is like trying to heal your body by
healing a cell at the tip of your finger. It’s a start. It certainly is that. But it is not th e end of
things.
That’s why I like to say: “It’s our work, or it won’t  work.”
And now here’s the good news. Healing is exponential. Energy moves not in a 1 -2-3-4
progression, but in a 2 -4-8-16-32 progression. Therefore, moving an entire culture to a new experience of itself is not only possible (and today, with the speed of communication, ever
more so), but probable. That is, it is going to happen. The only question, then, is, what kind
of culture will we move to?  That is, what is the future we are creating?
Everything is already changing, and if we want it to change in the direction that we
choose, we have to change everything.
So start with yourself, then touch others.

Now, having read this book, you have heard their words and their ideas flow to you,
through me. It is impossible with so many teachers for me to  be able to say in every case
from which one a concept, an idea, or an inspiration came to me. I owe them all so very
much, and I am deeply, deeply grateful.
I want to acknowledge as well, and in particular, Beth and Jerry Stark, my in -laws, who
are two of  the finest people I have ever had the privilege to know. Conspicuous in their
kindness, gentle, sensitive, and caring in their treatment of everyone whose lives they
touch, generous in their patience, expansive in their understanding, unending in their
forgiveness and acceptance, these two wonderful people have inspired me to be a better
person, not by saying that I might, but by showing how we all might. That they have raised
a daughter, my wife, who is herself all of these things magnified, is living tes timony to Who
They Are.  DEDICATION
I know it is more or less de rigueur when books are being published for an author to
acknowledge a life partner —but perhaps it is not so usual for an author to acknowledge
every one of them. I must do so, because each of the ladies with whom I have been
privileged to spend a goodly portion of this life has contributed enormously to my
awareness, my understanding, and my growth. Even as I ask forgiveness for all of the
errors that I made in their presence, I offer my profou nd thanks to each of them. You know
who are you, and I would tell the world would it not unfairly invade your privacy. Thank
you. For all you gave me, and for all you suffered as I tried so hard to grow up.
And now, thanks Bigger Than Thanks to the extraor dinary woman who gives me the gift
of her presence in my life…my wife and spiritual companion on this final leg of my journey.
My Beloved, My Other, I cannot hope to adequately describe the wonder of you, the joy that
you bring to so many moments, the heal ing of your touch, the gentleness of your being, the
brilliance of your mind, the hugeness of your heart, and, most of all, the deep, deep wisdom of
your soul. As I share intimate and loving companionship with you every day, I am aware of the
unbelievable blessing that is mine.
I dedicate this book to you

How and When to Be Your Own Doctor
by Dr. Isabelle A. Moser with Steve Solomon

Forward

    I was a physically tough, happy -go-lucky fellow until I reached my late thirties. Then I began to experience more and more off
days when I did not feel quite right. I thought I possessed an iron constitution. Although I grew a big foo d garden and ate mostly
"vegetablitarian" I thought I could eat anything with impunity. I had been fond of drinking beer with my friends while nibbli ng on
salty snacks or heavy foods late into the night. And until my health began to weaken I could still ge t up the next morning after
several homebrewed beers, feeling good, and would put in a solid day's work.
    When my health began to slip I went looking for a cure. Up to that time

night blindness, accumulation of calcium in tissues, and sometimes prostate
enlargement in men. Hemorrhoids due to blockage of the portal vein draining the
liver are often the result of this congestion.
The Liver-Gallbladder Flush
The importance of cleansing the debris from the liver and gall bladder, thus
keeping the bile free flowing, cannot be overemphasized. This can be effectively
accomplished by doing the Liver-Gall Bladder Flush (a form of which at one time was
widely used at the world famous Lahey Clinic in Boston, MA), which is necessary
even if one has had their gall bladder removed. The four basic active principles in this
procedure are:
A. Apple juice (high in malic acid) and ortho-phosphoric acid, which acts as a
solvent in the bile to weaken adhesions between solid globules.
B. Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate), taken by mouth and enema, which allows
magnesium to be absorbed into the bloodstream, relaxing smooth muscles. Large
solid particles which otherwise might create spasms are able to pass through a
relaxed bile duct.
C. Olive oil, unrefined, which stimulates the gall bladder and bile duct to contract
powerfully, thus expelling solid particles kept in storage for years.
D. Coffee enemas, which consist of a coffee solution retained in the colon. They
activate the liver to secrete its waste into the bile, enhancing bile flow and further
relaxing the bile duct muscle.
The Liver-Gall Bladder Flush is one of the most important procedures for persons
over 15 years of age. If one is above 15 years of age and his or her physician gives
approval, he or she should do this the first week of Metabolic Medicine's Cancer
Cure Program, and should, with his or her physician's approval, repeat it every 2
months. The steps in doing this are not difficult and are as follows:
For 5 days prior to the "Flush," consume as much apple juice or cider as the
appetite permits, in addition to regular meals. You may add a total of 90 drops of
Phos-A per quart of apple juice or cider each day. Nutritional supplements should
also be taken during this time. The first preference for juice would be freshly juiced
organic apples, and secondly, apple juice or cider (unsweetened and preferably
organic if possible) purchased either from the health food or grocery store. A person
should be sure to read the labels carefully and obtain a juice that has no additives
whatsoever.
87
Winning The Cancer War
If one is a severe hypoglycemic, is diabetic, or has difficulty tolerating the juice or
cider, he or she may take 20 drops of Phos-A with each meal (90 drops daily) in
water or some type of juice other than apple. Due to the high acidity, it is wise that
one brush his teeth or rinse out his mouth with M ilk of Magnesia or baking soda
solution after taking the ortho-phosphoric acid.
At noon on the sixth day, one should eat a normal lunch. Two hours after lunch, 1
or 2 tablespoons of Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) dissolved in 1  to 3 ounces of
warm filtered, distilled, reverse osmosis water should be taken. The taste may be
objectionable to some. If so, the mixture can be followed by a little citrus juice if
desired (freshly squeezed if possible).
1. Four hours after lunch, one should take a 1-quart coffee enema with one-fourth (1/4)
cup of Epsom salt dissolved in it. This should be retained for 15 minutes and expelled.
The coffee should be made as strong as one can tolerate but no stronger than 6
tablespoons of ground coffee per quart of water.
2. Five hours after lunch take 1  tablespoon of Epsom salt, dissolved as the previous dose
(Step 3).
3. Six or seven hours after lunch, one may fast if desired. However, it is preferable to have
a fresh fruit salad with shipped cream, using as many fresh fruits or berries in season as
possible. The whipped cream is necessary to cause gall bladder contractions. Use
heavy, unpasteurized whipping cream as a dressing on the salad, whipped with a little
raw (unheated) honey if desired. One can eat as much as desired of the whipped-
cream-covered salad. If fresh fruit is unavailable, frozen berries such as strawberries,
blueberries, boysenberries, blackberries, raspberries, etc. can be used. These should
also be covered with whipped cream and a large portion eaten. Take citrus fruit or juice
after the cream and fruit meal, if desired. For hypoglycemics, the cream should balance
the fruit. However, each hypoglycemic should adjust the amount of salad eaten to his
individual tolerance.
4. At bedtime, there can be 1  of 3 choices (Note: Olive oil stimulates the gall bladder and
bile duct to contract powerfully, thus expelling solid particles kept in storage for years.
All juice should be freshly squeezed if possible):
A. Take one-half (1/2) cup of unrefined olive oil or 6 tablespoons of Formula F
followed by a small amount of orange, grapefruit, or lemon juice if the oil taste is
objectionable.
B. Take one-half (1/2) cup of unrefined olive oil or 6 tablespoons of Formula F
blended with one-half (1/2) cup of orange, grapefruit, or diluted lemon juice.
C. Take 4 tablespoons of unrefined olive oil or 4 tablespoons of Formula F
88
Winning The Cancer War
followed by 1  tablespoon of citrus juice every 30 minutes until 6 ounces of
oil have been consumed. This choice is preferable for those who are
unusually weak or who have had gall bladder problems in the past. It has
been found helpful to rinse the mouth with an alcohol base drink like
Sherry to cut out the residue of the oil taste. If an alcohol base drink is
unobtainable, try a natural carbonated drink, or club soda. (Do not
swallow the alcohol drink or the carbonated drink.)
D. (Note: If one should vomit during the consumption of the oil and juice, the
procedure should be continued until it is finished. It is not necessary to
make up for the amount that was vomited. Nausea felt during this process
usually indicates stimulation of the gall bladder and/or liver.)
5. Immediately upon finishing the oil and juice (or while taking it), one should go
to bed and lie on the right side with the right knee drawn up toward the chin
for 30 minutes before going to sleep. This encourages the oil to drain from the
stomach, helping contents of the gall bladder and/or liver to move into the
small intestine.
6. If one feels quite ill during the night, another strong coffee enema with one-
fourth (1/4) cup of Epsom salt dissolved in it may be taken.
7. If there is a strong feeling of nausea the following morning, one should try to
remain in bed until it subsides somewhat. Vomiting should not be forced.
8. Upon arising, one must take another strong coffee enema with Epsom salt in it
or, 1  hour before breakfast, take 1  tablespoon of Epsom salt dissolved in 1  to 3
ounces of warm distilled or filtered water.
9. If one continues to feel nauseous or very sore in the upper abdomen even after
the enema, a light diet of sprouts, fruit (raw or steamed), yogurt or kefir, and
freshly extracted vegetable juices (especially with beet greens in them) should
be resumed. If one finds that the Metabolic Formulas cause discomfort
immediately after the flush, they may be omitted for three days.
Helpful Hints
1. Taking one hydrochloric acid tablet at bedtime w ill help reduce any nausea
during the night.
2. If you have a tendency to get nauseated from the oil, take 2 tablespoons of
Aloe Vera juice after your doses of oil and citrus juice.
89
Winning The Cancer War
3. Placing a hot water bottle over the liver area (under the right ribcage) during
the night also helps relieve nausea.
Note: One should not be frightened by the above references to nausea, vomiting,
soreness of the abdomen, etc. Chances are that the symptoms won't be severe
enough to cause vomiting or soreness of the abdomen, as this happens only very
rarely. Many people complete this procedure with minimal discomfort, and nearly
everyone feels much better after completing it. Flushing the liver and gall bladder in
the manner described (if the gall bladder is present) stimulates and cleans these
organs as no other process does.
Oftentimes, persons suffering for years from gallstones, lack of appetite, biliousness,
backaches, nausea, and a host of other complaints w ill find gallstone-type objects in
the stool the day following the flush. These objects are light to dark green in color,
very irregular in shape, gelatinous in texture, and of sizes varying from "grape seed"
size to "ch


 in a particular endeavor is not to fail as a person. It
is simply not being successful with that particular trial at that partic-
ular present moment.
Try to imagine using failure as a description of an animal’s beha-
vior. Consider a dog barking for fifteen minutes, and someone say-
ing, “He really isn’t very good at barking, I’d give him a “C.” How
absurd! It is impossible for an animal to fail because there is no
provision for evaluating natural behavior. Spiders construct webs,
not successful or unsuccessful webs. Cats hunt mice; if they aren’t
successful in one attempt, they simply go after another. They don’t
lie there and whine, complaining about the one that got away, or
have a nervous breakdown because they failed. Natural behavior
simply is! So why not apply the same logic to your own behavior
and rid yourself of the fear of failure.
The push to achieve comes from three of the most self-destructive
words in our culture. You’ve heard them and used them thousands
of times. Do your best! This is the cornerstone of the achievement
neurosis. Do your best at everything you do. What’s wrong with
taking a mediocre bicycle ride, or going for an average walk in the
park? Why not have some activities in your life which you just do,
rather than do to the best of your ability? The do-your-best neurosis
can keep you from trying new activities and enjoying old ones.
At one time I counseled an eighteen-year-old high school senior
named Louann, who was imbued with the achievement standard.
Louann was a straight A student, and had been since she first set
foot in a school. She worked long tedious hours on her school work,
and as a result she had no time for being a person. She was a veritable
computer of book knowledge. Yet Louann was painfully shy around
boys, never even having held hands let alone dated. She had de-
veloped a nervous twitch which came into play whenever we talked
about this side of her personality. Louann had placed all of her em-
phasis on being an achieving student at the expense of her total de-
velopment. In126 / Your Erroneous Zonesworking with Louann, I asked her what was more important in her
life. “What you know, or how you feel?” Even though she was a
valedictorian, she was lacking inner peace and was actually very
unhappy. She began to place some importance on her feelings, and
because she was such an excellent learner, she applied the same
rigorous standards to learning new social behaviors as she had to
her school work. Louann’s mother called me a year later and told
me that she was concerned because her daughter had received her
very first “C” in a college freshman English class. I recommended
that she make a big production out of it, and take her out for dinner
in celebration.
Perfectionism
Why should you have to do everything well? Who is keeping
score for you? Winston Churchill’s famous lines about perfectionism
indicate just how immobilizing the constant search for success can
be.
The maxim “nothing avails but perfection” may be spelled
PARALYSIS
You can paralyze yourself with perfectionistic do-your-best nonsense.
Perhaps you can give yourself some significant areas in your life in
which you truly want to do your best. But in the vast majority of
activities, having to do your best, or even to do well, is an obstacle
to doing. Don’t let perfectionism keep you on the sidelines avoiding
potentially pleasurable activities. Try changing “Do your best” to
simply “Do.”
Perfection means immobility. If you have perfect standards for
yourself, then you’ll never try anything and you won’t do much
because perfect is not a concept that applies to human beings. God
can be perfect, but you, as a person, need not apply such ridiculous
standards to you and your behavior.
If you have children, don’t breed paralysis and resentment byEXPLORING THE UNKNOWN  / 127insisting they do their best. Instead, talk with them about the things
they seem to enjoy the most, and perhaps give some encouragement
to try hard in those areas. But in other activities, doing is so much
more important than succeeding. Teach them to play in the volleyball
game rather than sit on the sidelines saying “I’m no good.” Encour-
age them to ski, or to sing, or draw, or dance or whatever, because
they want to, not to avoid something just because they may not be
good at it. No one should be taught to be competitive, to try, or even
to do well. Instead, try to teach the lessons of self-esteem and pride
and pleasure in the activities deemed important by the individual.
A child is easily taught the ugly message of equating his own self-
worth with his failures. Consequently he will begin to shun activities
in which he does not excel. Even more dangerous, he may develop
habits of low self-esteem, approval-seeking, guilt and all of the erro-
neous zone behaviors that go with self-rejection.
If you equate your worth with your failures and successes, you’ll
be doomed to feelings of worthlessness. Think of Thomas Edison.
If he’d used failure in any given task as an indicator of his own self-
esteem, after his first trial in which he failed he would have given
up on himself, announced that he was a failure and ceased his en-
deavors to light the world. Failure can be instructive. It can be an
incentive to work and exploration. It can even be thought as success
if it points the way to new discoveries. As Kenneth Boulding put it,
I have revised some folk wisdom lately; one of my edited pro-
verbs is Nothing fails like success  because you do not learn any-
thing from it. The only thing we ever learn from is failure.
Success only confirms our superstitions.
Think of it. Without failure we can learn nothing, and yet we have
learned to treasure success as the only acceptable standard. We tend
to shun all experiences which might bring about fail-128 / Your Erroneous Zonesure. Apprehension of failure is a big part of fear of the unknown.
Anything which doesn’t smack of guaranteed success is to be
avoided. And fearing failure means fearing both the unknown and
the disapproval that accompanies not doing your best.
Some Typical “Fear of the Unknown” Behavior In Our Culture
We have already discussed some typical behavior engendered by
fear of the unknown. Resisting new experiences, rigidity, prejudice,
slavish adherence to plans, the need for external security, fear of
failure and perfectionism are all subheadings in this large self-limit-
ing zone. What follows is a listing of the most common specific ex-
amples in this category. You can use it as a checklist to assess your
own behavior.
• Eating the same kinds of foods for a lifetime. Avoiding exotic,
new taste treats in favor of the more traditional, and using descrip-
tions such as, “I’m a meat and potatoes person” or “I always order
chicken.” While everyone has certain preferences and predelictions,
avoidance of unknown foods is merely rigidity. Some people have
never eaten a taco, or been to a Greek or Indian restaurant, simply
because they stay on the familiar ground of what they are used to.
Leaving familiar grounds can open up a whole exciting gastronomic
world.
• Wearing the same kinds of clothes forever. Never trying out a
new style, or wearing something different. Labeling yourself as a
“conservative dresser” or a “loud dresser” and never varying your
sartorial style.
• Reading the same newspapers and magazines which support
the same editorial position day after day and never admitting a
contrary viewpoint. In one recent study, a reader, whose political
position was well known, was asked to read an edito-EXPLORING THE UNKNOWN  / 129rial which began with a position identical to his own. In the middle
of the editorial, the viewpoint shifted, and a hidden camera revealed
that the reader’s eyes similarly shifted to another part of the page.
The rigid reader in this experiment would not even consider a dis-
similar point of view.
• Seeing the same movies (with different titles) for a lifetime. Re-
fusing to view anything that might support a different philosophical
or political belief, because the unknown is disconcerting and must
be shut out.
• Living in the same neighborhood, city or state, simply because
your parents and their parents happened to have chosen that loca-
tion. Being afraid of a new place because the people, climate, politics,
language, customs, or whatever, are different.
• Refusing to listen to ideas which you do not share. Instead of
considering the other speaker’s viewpoint—“Hmm, I’ve never
thought of that”—you immediately insist he’s crazy or uninformed.
This is a method of avoiding the different or the unknown by refus-
ing to communicate.
• Being afraid to try a new activity because you can’t do it well.
“I don’t think I’d be very good, I’ll just watch.”
• Compulsive achievement in school or on the job. Grades are
more important than anything else. The fitness report matters more
than the pleasure of work well done. Using achievement rewards
as substitutes for trying something new and unknown. Residing in
the safe areas of inquiry because, “I know I can get an A,” rather
than risking a C by embarking on a new

troubles which s;;.tlsfied me.
The Tantras indicate that there was a practice among Aghoris to
use L•rine and stools as medicines. In Jain scriptures also a monk has
.been advised to take his auto-urine while practising short or long
Pratima (Dhyana). In Rudrayamal Tantra under the chapter
'Shivambu-kalpa', lord Shiva hap described to Parvati the virtues of
urine removes all diseases and· bestows upon man a long life:
Further ·Ayurveda and Rasa-tan~ra also have prescribed urine along
with subsidiary medicines. The sage Atreya has prescribed eight
types of urine to be used as m'edicines. They belong to herbivorous
animals only. In addition Sushrut has prescribed human urine also
as medicine. One can ask why sage Atreya did not describe the
utility of human urine in spite of the fact that it is more useful to
man. One can see that the' urine of animals is useful to themselves.
. The sage Atreya has also stated that the eight types of urine are
useful to human beings as well. Why did he not refer to human
urine? The simple answer seems to be that he did not feel ~my
necessity to describe a very well-known and an apparent fact. The
benefit of the existance of the sun does not require any
introduction. It is sufficient to say that human urine is anti-poison
and a.t<mif;:;1il)e ~,\(agbhatta mentions the urine of deer also in THE BEST MEANS TO PHYSICAl HEALTH : 195

only herbivorous animals should be used for treatment. It is

auto-blood IS adm1tted mto the body without any harm. Similar
substance when taken from a living being of the same or similar
class is called homogeneous.
On the' other hand if something of m~dicinal value is derived
from a body of an animal of dissiniNar class it is called
h~terogeneous. The sage Atreya has includecf in his system · the
e1~ht t~pes _of urine according to the third category. While lord
Sh1va m h1s description of human.urJne has adopted the-first
category. Declaring it to be completely harmless, he has adviSed its
.use in every diseases. The school of Atreya proposes myrobalan for
· the healthy and fast for the sick. But Lord Shiva emphatically
pr.escribes urine fer both -the healthy and the diseased. There is a
w1de difference·in the mehtod of application also. ·
T~e fore~oni~g. des~ription suggests that Shukracharya passessed
a smgle hfe.-g:~mg. su?~tance. Ashvinikumars also ·probably

The dose.of urine envigorates the heart and brings the patient to
senses. That IS why I have begun its use in my surgical cases and 1

Take Middle Portion.: In conclusion, I would like to add that in
a~plying uri~e t~erapy the patient should take the middle portion of
h1s every unnat1on for drinking and the first and last portion should
be collected in a bottle and that should be utilized for rubbing or

K~lidas 1n Kmg Bhoja's time has definitely given this suggestion for
ur~ne.therapy. T~is is so because the first and last flow in every

IS worth applymg at least for experimentation.

URINE THERAPY & AYURVEOA
By Vaidya Karunashankar R. Trivedi
just as the Aryan culture and religion are not the contribution of
one individual person, similarly Ayurveda is also not a creation of
one man. just as Aryan culture is the synthesis of many glorious
traditions, similarly Ayurveda also represents a mighty spring of all
the. healing sciences. A certain system of healing may appear
ent1r~l~ new but it is likely to have ·its roots in Ayurveda. The
phys1c1ans may regard urine therapy to be a new one but its roots
are. t~ be fo~nd in Ayurveda. With all humility and strong
conv1ct1on I w1sh to state that urine therapy instead of being
un-Ay~rvedic is fully supported by Ayurveda.
Whenever some baby in a family suffers from any trouble, the
grandmother at large still advises the young daughter-in-law to give
the baby its own urine to drink. Ordinarily everybody born in a
village must have had a taste of his own urine on one occasion or
the other. In villages the practice of giving children their own urine
to drink is age-old. It is a matter of cor rnon experience that urine
thus taken does not cause any harm but on the contrary. proves URINE THERAPY & AYURVEDA : 197
beneficial for the child's health.
Ear-trouble : From my personal experience I know that any
ear-trouble disappears with the drops of fresh or litt)e warmed-up
urine. I still remember an incident of my childhood,· when I was a
student of class eighth. Once I was sleeping on a marble floor of a
temple along with my brother and a friend, during night, a centipede
entered into my ear. I, a mere boy, was upsest with the trouble. The
gatekeeper of the temple told me -"Nothing can be done during the
night. Put your urine into the ear and wait for the result till
morning." My brother dropped my urine into my ear. In the morninig
I was frightened to see the centipede torn into pieces, sticking near
the ear-lobe.
Human Urine : It is mentioned in Bhavprakash (Part I, Chapter on
"Urine") that human urine is alkaline, saltish and sharp. It is
antipoisonous and removes eczema. Taken internally, it acts as
tonic. If a thoughtful person is not carried away by the attractive
labels and advertisements of medicines, pouring in every day with
enchanting names, he will realize that human urine which is
described by Ayurveda as atonic banishing old age and. restoring
youth, should not be neglected. Similarly it maintains an equilibrium·
of all the seven substances of the body and keeps the power of
digestion in good order. It is said to posses the quality of removing
the effect of poison.
In Ayurveda cow's urine is already used for purification of metals
and to destroy their poisonous effects. The word 'Anti-poison' has
wide and far-reaching sense. It means the destruction of poison not
only that of snake-bite, scorpion-bite or metals but that of the
organism, i.e. toxin also. In this age of unhealthy living, the
propagation of such anti-poisonous substance is a noble and holy
mission. I make this statement without any reservation and in all
humility and wish to associate myself with this noble undertaking...,.

is virtually the cause of all human  ills. I differ  from them  entirely,  on the
best  of all grounds ‐ personal experience  and what I have observed  in
others. If vegetarians  had  declared that a meatless  diet would be the
best  regime  for everybody  if for years man  had  not acquired the food‐113
 habits  of an omnivorous  animal, then I would agree with  them. But as it
is, my observations  have taught  me that sudden changes of diet from
zoophagous  to meatless  can have disastrous  results. In short, the
average man  has not as yet attained to that state of health when he is
ready  for complete  vegetarianism  however desirable this may be as an
ideal.  Neverthe  less, I will make the following  reservation:  it may  be
different with persons who have been brought  up from  i nfancy  on a
meatless  diet, provided  that diet is not merely  meatless,  i.e., it must be
a well‐ balanced vegetarian  dietary and  not just an excess of "starchy
rubbish."
After all this, it will now be asked what sort of a diet do I personally
advocate in general for people living in the  temperate  zones? My
answer is a dietary consisting  of a proper proportion  of meat, poultry,
eggs, fish. salads, steamed vegetables,  whole‐wheat bread, fresh  fruits
in season, brown unpolished  rice, butter  in moderation  and  honey‐
which  is the best sweetening  agent there  is. To be avoided  are all
tinned foods, twice‐ cooked foods, all processed  (de‐natured) foods
such as white bread, white sugar, polished rice and pasteurised  milk.
Condiments  should also be avoided. In my opinion tinned meats,
processed  foods  and pasteurised  milk  are the evil, commercial  products
of what we are pleased to call civilization.  White sugar  and white bread
were simply invented  to put money  into the hands  of respectively  the
sugar  refiners and  the flour refiners. White  sugar  is merely  an acid
producing  aliment, seeing that all the alkaline properties  have been
refined  out of it. Last  century  an unscrupulous  doctor was paid to
declare  that he had found a "bug"  in brown sugar, and therefore  it was
unfit for human  consumption  in its natural  state. (See  McCann's  Science 114
 of Eating.) As to pasteurised  milk, Dr. Marie Stopes is not the only one
who has forcibly condemned  it. She calls  it, as we, have seen, "that  foul
poison." This may  be going a bit too far, but the fact remains that the
pasteurisation  of milk, apart from other considerations,  enables it to be
sold when it is not fresh, its lack of freshness  not being detectable  as it
would be with unpasteurised  milk.
Which  reminds me what the late Mr. F. A. MacQuisten,  K.C., M.P., said
of that commodity,  viz.., "Some  people think pasteurised  milk is milk
from the  pasture. It is nothing but  half‐ boiled milk  lacking in
nourishment.  If you give it to calves they  die. If you give it to rats  they
fail to reproduce  their species. It is a form of birth control." (Daily
Mirror, March 2, 1940.)
There  is no doubt that as regards dietetics, whether the doctors admit
it or not, we owe a great deal to the naturopaths  who first  drew
attention  to the necessity of eating vital  foods, hence the subsequently
coined  word vitamins. But unfortunately  these have  been exploited
commercially,  and  artificial vitamins  are now on the market. Against
these Prof. A. J. Clark, of the University  of Edinburgh,  warned the public.
In Fact, No. 14, he wrote  in effect that the chief education  the public is
receiving is "in the  form of advertisements  of proprietary  vitamin
preparations,  tonic foods, etc., which  distort the facts in any manner
that the advertisers  fancy will sell their preparations."  We should
obtain our vitamins, he declared,  from a properly regulated  diet and
not from so‐called tonic food  preparations.  Needless to say,  I heartily
agree with this dictum.  I also agree  with much that the naturopaths
have put  forward, though on one or two points I differ from  them
materially.  There have been a few extremists  who have wished to 115
 eliminate  starch and  sugar  from the dietary altogether.  This is a
dangerous  fallacy.  No one can subsist for long without  some sugar and
starch in the organism;  it is an excess of starch which  is evil, as I pointed
out in my chapter  on the  common  cold. And now, if the cause of
disease has become obvious, so also  must be its prevention,  viz., a well‐
regulated  diet ‐which  of course means neither too little nor too much‐‐
to which  dictum  I would add, plus an occasional  fast  according  to my
particular  method.  Furthermore,  I would advocate the habitual intake
of one's own fresh  urine. On rising, a glassful should be taken, and
again a glassful during the day. For my own part, I drink  all that I pass,
and  apart from fresh  milk, drink  no other  beverage.  But then I am an
enthusiast.
