In	our	own	minds	is	where	the	reasons	for	conflict,
misery,	unhappiness	lie.
Caught	up	in	the	past	or	in	the	future,	never	leaving
alone	what	was	or	what	will	be,	our	egos	dominate	us	and	keep	us	from	the
true	happiness	and	fullness	that	holds	each	moment	of	the	present.

If	we	can	succeed	in	overcoming	our	collective	ego	and	stripping	ourselves	of
its	yolk,	then	we	may	contribute	to	building	a	better	world.OUR	INNER	AND	OUTER
MADNESS

Society	at	large,	as	well	as	the	people	of	whom	it	is	made	up,	are	showing	a
dementia,	a	kind	of	"chronic	paranoid	delusions,	a	pathological	propensity	to
commit	murders	and	acts	of	extreme	violence	and	cruelty	...",	says	the	author.
Fear,	greed,	and	ambition	for	power	are	the	engines	that	move	these	insane
behaviours,	driving	our	heartbreak	and	eventual	annihilation.

The	great	historical	currents	of	spirituality	have	recognised	this	dysfunction	in
the	mind	of	man.
According	to	Hinduism,	it	is	a	network	of	collective	beliefs:
a	“Maya,”	made	up	of	illusions	and	mirages,	a	"veil	of	ignorance",	which	is
instilled	in	all	of	us.
One	of	the	most	famous	spiritual	leaders	of	India,
Ramana	Maharshi,	expressed	that	"the	mind	is	Mayan",	referring	to	the
collective	mental	illness	of	man.

Buddhism	treats	this	idea	in	a	different	way,	recognising	the	“dukkha,”	which
represents	the	suffering	and	misery	which	Buddha	saw	as	essential
components	of	the	human	condition.

Christianity,	in	turn,	speaks	of	sin,	a	word	that	in	its	Greek	origins	as
translated	from	the	New	Testament	designates	the	loss	of	the	road,	the	goal,
and	the	end.
To	sin	is	"to	miss	the	mark”;	to	lose	the	core	of	human	existence.

In	contrast,	each	of	these	spiritual	traditions	carries	a	trait	that	points	to	the
positivity	of	this	dysfunction.
Enlightenment	enables	Hindus	to	shed	these
sensory	mirages	of	the	Maya;	followers	of	Buddha	come	to	the	points	of
awakening	and	react	to	the	suffering	of	the	dukkha;	Christians	speak	of
salvation,	of	encountering	the	path,	the	spirit,	and	the	peace.
According	to	the	author,	we	carry	a	heavy	backpack	composed	of	extensive
cultural	baggage	that	we	inherit,	from	which	it	takes	much	to	free	ourselves.
Humanity	has	made	important	advances	in	science,	technology,	and	art,	but
has	not	been	able	to	save	itself	from	this	destructive	force	of	the	insanity,	the
madness	of	our	sins	and	suffering.

To	see	proof	of	this,	we	may	look	to	the	settlers	of	our	planet	have:	we	have
witnessed	the	overwhelming	development	of	implements	dedicated	to
destruction,	from	bombs	and	machine	guns	to	poisonous	gas	and	biological
weapons.
Mass	killings	in	Soviet	Russia	and	the	massacre	of	a	quarter	of
Cambodia's	population	at	the	hands	of	Khmer	Rouge's	ruthless	regime	are
clear	signs	of	this	sad	reality.

There	has	come	a	time	when	man	not	only	attacks	man,	but	turns	against	the
very	nature	of	the	Earth.
We	destroy	forests	and	jungles,	pollute	the
atmosphere	and	water	sources,	and	slaughter	animals.
All	of	these	contribute
to	a	devastating	view	of	our	planet	in	which	violence,	greed,	and	hatred
continue	to	dominate,	to	condemning	us	to	disappear.

The	beginning	of	change	is	to	recognise	our	folly.
"Recognising	one's	own
madness	is,	of	course,	the	emergence	of	sanity,	the	beginning	of	healing	and
transcendence."
These	words,	spoken	by	Tolle,	show	us	the	beginning	of	the
road.
Let	us	acknowledge	in	each	of	us	the	fears,	lusts,	and	desires	for	power
that	drive	us.

In	doing	so,	we	will	surely	discover	the	cause	of	our	confrontations	and
misunderstandings	within	our	families,	in	our	work,	and	with	our	friends.
Meditate	on	this	idea.
Observe	and	recognise	in	yourself	the	inherited
madness	that	keeps	you	from	being	happy.
This	is	the	first	step	toward
building	a	new	world.
	CHANGE	IN	CONSCIOUSNESS,
CHANGE	IN	BEHAVIOUR

People’s	actions	are	motivated	by	their	consciences,	not	their	beliefs.
Your
state	of	consciousness	determines	your	behaviour	and	interactions	with	the
world	and	with	other	human	beings.

It	is	not	enough	to	simply	have	noble	beliefs,	to	believe	in	the	good.
It	is
imperative	that	we	integrate	these	beliefs	into	our	very	being.
We	must
internalise	these	convictions	so	that	our	consciousness	may	change	to	embody
the	values	in	which	we	believe.

Once	our	consciousness	has	transformed,	our	actions	and	behaviours	will	be
able	to	change,	following	the	pattern	set	by	our	psyche.

The	author	presents	the	concepts	of	Heaven	and	Earth	not	as	physical	places,
but	rather	as	two	levels	of	existence:	a	new	Heaven	designates	the	emergence
of	a	new	human	consciousness	that	has	integrated	its	noble	beliefs;	Earth,	for
its	part,	the	manifestation	of	a	consciousness	on	the	physical	plane,	the
actions	of	people.

How	does	one	achieve	this	necessary	change	of	consciousness?
The	first	step
is	to	know	our	current	state,	to	know	our	situation,	and	starting	from	that
knowledge,	to	begin	to	change.IN	SEARCH	OF	THE	SOLUTION

History	shows	us	the	attempts	of	individuals	or	groups	who	have	tried	to
come	to	the	aid	of	society.
Social	movements	have	emerged	to	try	to	avoid	a
universal	collapse.
An	example	of	this	is	Communism,	which	has	largely
failed	in	the	world;	partly	because	of	the	very	leaders	who	created	it,	as	they
did	not,	in	essence,	embody	its	principles.
They	did	not	change	themselves,
which	crippled	their	ability	to	change	others.

Religious	leaders	tried	to	become	vehicles	of	this	new	spirit	for	the	benefit	of
the	world,	from	Buddha	to	Lao	Tzu.
Their	influence,	however,	have	been
limited.

Many	were	misunderstood	by	their	followers,	their	messages	blurred	and
distorted	so	that	the	strength	of	their	leadership	was	not	enough	to	drive	the
necessary	change.
Ideas	were	often	added,	diluting	the	original	message.
Some	teachers	were	killed	for	their	preaching,	others	revered	as	gods.
The
message	of	Jesus'	goodness,	humility,	and	union,	as	well	as	his	preaching	of
mercy	and	love,	were	transformed	into	a	religion	of	hatred	and	division,
feeding	the	madness	he	had	set	out	to	heal.
The	Crusades	and	the	Spanish
Inquisition,	carried	out	under	the	mantle	of	Christianity,	brought	nothing	but
widespread	devastation.

Likewise,	scientific	and	technological	progress	that	carries	the	potential	for
great	benefit	to	mankind	has	been	turned	to	enhance	the	human	capacity	to
destroy	and	to	kill

My friend is 55 years old. Her name is Maria of the Angels. She had cirrhosis

back. There are several organs that penetrate this muscular parti-
tion that lies between the pelvic cavity and the perineum. These
organs are the urethra, the vagina and the rectum and they are
supported by the pelvic diaphragm and allow you greater control
over them. In fact, the pelvic diaphragm is the floor of the pelvic
cavity which contains large intestine, small intestine, bladder, and
kidney. It lifts up and helps shape these vital organs.

But in the perineum, which is a point midway between the
anus and genitals below the pelvic diaphragm, is another muscular
diaphragm called the urogenital diaphragm. This is penetrated by
the urethra, and to its underside is attached the root of the penis.
The pudendal nerve in the penis controls the muscles of the
urogenital diaphragm, which in turn holds up the prostate gland,
seminal vas deferens, cowper's gland, penis and the anus. Part of
this lower-most diaphragm comes forward to engulf the scrotum
(which also contains muscle) and the penis and then joins to the
abdominal wall.68 Taoist Secrets Of Love

These two diaphragms are the lower seals to hold the life
force—the chi energies—from escaping out through the lower
openings in the body. When tightly sealed they will increase the chi
pressure in the abdomen. When chi pressure strengthens, it will
invigorate the vital organs and move the chi and blood flow better.
The importance of these anatomical structures will become appar-
ent as you study the larger system of Taoist Yoga. The Iron Shirt
Chi Kung exercises also help develop power and strength in these
areas, and are a perfect complement to anyone seeking a daily
regimen that will aid the practice of Sexual Kung Fu. (See Chapter
18 for a course description)
THE SCROTUM PUMPS COLD SPERM ENERGY UPWARD
Taoists regard the scrotum as the lowest diaphragm, one that func-
tions like a pump. The scrotum is tight during youth and after a
refreshing sleep. It is loose in old age or after fatigue. Strong flow
of life energy tightens the skin. Scrotal breathing floods the region
with energy, and the scrotum begins to tighten almost immediately.The Dance Of The Testes 69
The scrotum is the factory that produces the sexual energy,
sperm, and male hormones. So there is a tremendous store of
"yin" chi (cold life force energy) in this area. All sexual energy,
whether male or female, is "yin" in its latent or resting state.
Sexual fluids belong to the water element in the Chinese system of
classifying the qualities of different types of chi. Water-rivers,
lakes, and oceans are yin. However, yin energy can rapidly change
its nature and become more "yang", or hot, when sexually
aroused. This can only happen if the sperm is already manufac-
tured while the testicles are still cool. In fact, western scientists
have determined the male sperm count goes up dramatically when
the testicles are put on ice and several companies are already sell-
ing special devices like a "freeze-pak" jock strap to aid infertile
men. The cold quality of sperm energy means it must be circulated
upward to harmonize with the hot mental energy in the head and
the chest area and vice versa.
The testicles are constantly involved in producing sperm, hor-
mones and, though it might presently be debated, or even denied
by scientists, in creating ching chi, the life-force essence. The an-
cient Taoists, who had extraordinarily astute powers of empirical
observation, noted that the energy of the sperm cells are of prime
importance in that all of the vital organs must contribute some of
their own reserves to create and maintain the potency of the sperm.
Amongst those organs is the brain. The vernacular expression, "I
screwed my brains out last night," suggests a common wisdom that
bears out this connection between the balls and the brain.
The records amongst the Taoists on the subject of sex were
surprisingly consistent over long stretches of time, which in China
meant not hundreds but thousands of years. This is significant
because many groups didn't even know of each others abilities or
whereabouts or even existence, because these esoteric practices
were very hidden. Their records point out that when the energy in
the testicles is cold or mostly yin, that this is a sign of strong and
youthful sperm energy. This experience of cold gives way to what
has been described as a mildly warm quality when the sperm is
moved into the body from its exterior scrotal sac and stored in the
epidedymis and vas deferens.
The (cold) yin sperm ching chi is more dense than the hot
(yang) ching or sexual energy. Most people experience their sexual
energy only when aroused and the ching chi is hot, although cer-70 Taoist Secrets Of Love
tainly it is always present. This means the cold energy, since it is
thicker and slower to move, needs all the help it can get on its path
up to the higher center. If you can open the Microcosmic Orbit first
it will make it much easier. This channel, which loops up the spine
to the head and down the front to the navel, genitals and perineum,
is recognized by acupuncturists as the main energy channel in the
body linking the various organs, glands, and brain.

BladderSeminal Vesicle
Ductus Deferent
Sacrum

The testicle breathing exercise that follows will also help you
to open these channels and complete the microcosmic orbit, a pro-
cess more fully described in Chapter Seven.
In the "testicle breathing" exercise you use your mind to
draw the "cold" (yin), youthful sperm energy up the spine to your
head. You draw not the sperm itself, but the energy generated by
the sperm. At first it's slow going, but the energy is easy to deal
with since it's still cool. Later just a thought will send a re-
freshingly delightful cool wave of energy up your back to your
head.The Dance Of The Testes 71
The second exercise, "scrotal compression," trains you to
build up "warm" ching energy in the scrotal sac and move this
energy safely upward. The third exercise, the "Power Lock,"
shows you how to deal with the ching when it is sexually aroused
and very "hot." It is like a wild mare, and the most difficult to
control. It is recommended you practice this alone (using self-
arousal) before attempting to tame your sex energy at its most
explosive, during love-making with a woman.
SACRAL PUMP AND CRANIAL PUMP
Contained and protected within your spinal column and head is the
very heart of your nervous system. Cushioning it is the cere-
brospinal fluid, cerebro for head and spinal for the vertebrae. This
fluid, as it turns out, is circulated by two pumps. One is in the
sacrum, and is known as the sacral pump. The other is in the region
of your upper neck and head, the cranial pump. Many people who
got these pumps working have reported feeling a "big bubble" of
energy travel up their spine during testicle breathing.

I \72 Taoist Secrets Of Love
Taoists regard the sacrum as a pump which will help to hold
the sexual energy coming from the scrotum and transform the en-
ergy at the same time it gives it a push upward. It's like a way
station that refines the ching chi as circulates in the body. If the
opening of sacrum, the Hiatus, is blocked, the life force cannot
enter and flow back to the higher center.
The cranium of the skull has long been regarded by Taoists as
a major pump for the circulation of energy from the lower to the
higher centers. Medical research has recently confirmed that min-
ute movements at the joints of the eight cranial bones occurs during
breathing. Cranial movement is responsible for the production and
function of the cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal
cord and this is necessary for normal nerve and energy patterns in
the entire body. Strengthening the cranial joints can increase en-
ergy and alleviate symptoms, such as headaches, sinus problems


 finite limitation, as we all
are. So sometimes you just need to notice yourself judging, without then
judging yourself!
This is what I feel called by Lao-tzu to offer you from this 49th verse of
the T ao Te Ching:
Change the way you look at yourself.
If you pride yourself on having a fixed mind, realize that it relies on
conditioning that generally shows up as prejudice. Instead, see yourself as
flexible, since being open is the higher virtue. Pride yourself on extending
your goodness and kindness to all sides, even 49th Verse when they oppose
your preprogrammed learning. Begin to see yourself as a person who
notices instead of judges. Avoid taking one position and sticking to it no
matter what the circumstances are; rather, be in harmony with all people,
especially those whose opinions conflict with yours! And remember to
include yourself when dispensing kindness and nonjudgment.
Change the way you look at other people.One version of this verse says: “I trust men of their word, and I trust liars.
If I am true enough, I feel the heartbeats of others  above my own.” Whet her
you call it “judging” or “labelin g,” notice when you think of others as evil,
lazy, dishonest, stupid, or ugly. Then affirm: I see myself in this person, and
I choose  to be in a space of goodness rather than judgment. There’ s a
Sanskrit word, Namaste, that can help you with this. When used as a
greeting, it roughly translates to: “I honor the place in you wher e we are all
one.” So silently or verbally begin telling others “Namaste” in order to
remind yourself to love everyone as your own children.
Do the T ao Now
Vow to spend a day looking for opportunities to practice kindness in
circumstances that usually provo ke judgment. Notice what you think or say
about a panhand ler, a relative whom you feel animosity toward, or even a
politician or TV commentator speaking in terms that send you of f in a flurry
of critica l thoughts. Take that opportunity to become a “noticer,” decreasing
your criticism while increasing the amount of courtesy and goodness in
your world.

OceanofPDF.comLiving as an Immortal
In this passage, Lao-tzu asks you to change the way you look at your
mortality. The Tao teaches that death is an insignificant detail that doesn’ t
need to be consciously struggle d with or dreaded. As this verse of the Tao
Te Chin g informs you, there’ s a “place where death cannot enter.” Talk
about your life changing when you change your thoughts! This is the
ultimate, since the fear of death tops virtually everyone’ s list of anxieties.
If you see yourself solely as a physical mortal, then you’re part of the 90
percent of the population that this passage refers to as “followers of life,”
“followers of death,” or “just passing from birth to death.” Here you’re
being encouraged to aspire to be part of the remaining 10 percent, for whom
thoughts of mortality don’t invade the heart space or life in general. By
altering the way you see death, you’ll be in that select group. You’ll
experience life on the active side of infinity, knowing yourself first and
foremost as a spiritual being having a temporary human experience, rather
than the other way around.
In this realm, you’ll be gracefully adept at moving along free of the fear
of life-th reatening events. You’ll have a knowing about yourself and your
connection to the Tao that simply allows you to ride with life like a fearless
downhill skier who’ s at one with the snow-covered  mountain. Without
resorting to judgment, you’ll notice others who are perpetually victimized
by scams, bureaucracies, indifference, natural disaster, criminals, or
meddling relatives.
With an intimate awareness of your infinite essence that’s cente red in the
Tao, you’ll most likely escape from victimization yourself, and you’ll
lightly deal with situations that others tend to get stuck in. In other words,
when you know your own endless nature and live each day with this
awareness directing you, there will simply be no space within you for
mortality to call the shots. If harm ever does make an attempt to inflict
damage or death on you, it won’ t find a place to sink its hooks into.
Change how you think about death by seeing your essential spiritual
beingness, and you’ll be able to enjoy this world without the dread caused
by believing you are of it. When you know your immo rtality through theflow of the Tao, you won’ t even need to assign it a worldly concept or
formal religion. And when the time comes for you to remove the worn-out
coat you call your body, Lao-tzu says that “you will witness the end without
ending.”
Contemplate the teachings of the Tao Te Ching and realize that you can
never really be killed or even harmed. With this view of life, you’ll be able
to clear your inner battlefield of the army of beliefs that continually try to
march on your essential self. Fear and dread are weapons that can’t hurt or
threaten you. Even the natural elements symbolized by rhinos ’ horns and
tigers’ claws can’t inflict damage because they butt against and tear at a
space that has no solidity for them to inflict pain. Y ou dwell in a place that’ s
impenetrable to death—no longer are you clutching at the 10,000 things and
treating your short journey from cradle to grave as your one and only
ultimate life experience. Now you are the infinite Tao, living your real
essence.
Although Lao-tzu lived 25 centuries ago, he is still very much alive. I feel
him ur ging you to heed the following bits of wisdom:
Create affirmations.
Remind yourself, No one dies, including myself.  Affirm that you can
never be harmed or destroyed, for you are not your body. If you stay
connected to this reality, you’ll automatically deflect dangers that may have
previously been  able to invade  your physical space. For exam ple, as the
Indian saint Muktananda lay dying, his devotees are said to have
surrounded him, pleading, “Please don’t leave.” Muktananda replied,
“Don’ t be silly—where could I go?” The great swami realized his true
essence and knew that he was at an end without ending.
Die while you’r e alive!
In your imagination, contemplate the death of your physi cal shell:
Visualize it lying there lifeless,  and observe how you, the witness, aren’ t
identified with this corpse. Now bring that same attention to your body as it
gets up and goes about its daily tasks. Nothing could harm your human
form when it was dead, and nothing can harm you now because you are not
that body—you’re the invisible witnessing essence. Remain in this
realization, knowing that you’ve experienced the death of your earthlycontainer as your primary  source of identification. In this new awareness,
you’re impenetrable and free. Here’ s how Leonardo da Vinci expressed the
message of this verse of the Tao Te Ching: “While I thought that I was
learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.” Do this now, while
you’re still alive.
Do the T ao Now
This Tao exercise is an inner -vision quest in which you picture yourself as
immune to harm. Create your own imagined picture of danger, or draw on
the 50th verse of the Tao Te Ching for threats to your life. Tigers jump at
you and miss, swords are thrust at you but do no damage, bombs explode
but you’re unscathed.... Keep this image of yourself as incapa ble of being
harmed regardle ss of what goes on in your body. Then use this “witness to
your immortality” vision to help you activate dormant protective forces that
will accommodate you in fulfilling what you’ve imagined.

inevitable fulfilment awaits all sustained assumptions.
You  win  by  assumption  what  you  can  never  win  by  force.  An  assumption  is  a  certain  motion  of
consciousness. This motion, like all motion, exercises an influence on the surrounding substance, causing it
to take the shape of an echo, and reflect the assumption. A change of fortune is a new direction and
outlook, merely a change in arrangement of the same mind substance consciousness.
If you would change your life, you must begin at the very source with your own basic concept of self.
Outer change, becoming part of organizations, political bodies, religious bodies, is not enough. The cause
goes deeper. The essential change must take place in yourself, in your own concept of self. You must
assume that you are what you want to be and continue therein, for the reality of your assumption has its
being in complete independence of objective fact and will clothe itself in flesh if you persist in the feeling
of the wish fulfilled. When you know that assumptions, if persisted in, harden into facts, then events which
seem to the uninitiated mere accidents will be understood by you to be the logical and inevitable effects of
your assumption.
The important thing to bear in mind is that you have infinite free will in choosing your assumptions, but no
power to determine conditions and events. You can create nothing, but your assumption determines what
portion of creation you will experience.

                                  PERSISTENCE
And He said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto
him, Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to
set before him? And he from within shall answer and say. Trouble me not; the door is now shut, and my
children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. I say unto you. Though he will not rise and give
him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he
needeth. And I say unto you. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be
opened unto you.   Luke 11:5-9
THERE ARE three principal characters in this X quotation; you and the two friends mentioned. The first
friend is a desired state of consciousness. The second friend is a desire seeking: fulfilment Three is the
symbol of wholeness, completion. Loaves symbolize substance. The shut door symbolizes the senses which
separate the seen from the unseen. Children in bed means ideas that are dormant. Inability to rise means a
desired state of consciousness cannot rise to you, you  must rise to It. Importunity means  demanding
persistency, a kind of brazen impudence. Ask, seek, and knock mean assuming the consciousness of
already having; what you desire.
Thus the scriptures tell you that you must persist in rising to (assuming) the consciousness of your wish
already being fulfilled. The promise is definite that if you are shameless in your impudence in assuming
that you already have that which your senses deny, it shall be given unto you, your desire shall be attained.
The Bible teaches the necessity of persistence by the use of many stories. When Jacob sought a blessing
from the Angel with whom he wrestled he said I will not let thee go, except thou bless
me.
When the Shunammite sought the help of Elisha, she said : “As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I
will not leave thee, and he arose and followed her. ”
The same idea is expressed in another passage:
And he spake a parable unto them that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; saying, There was in a
city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man, and there was a widow in that city; and she came
unto him, saying. Avenge me of mine adversary. And he would not for a while; but afterwards he said
within himself. Though I fear not God, nor regard man; yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge
her, lest she weary me by her continual coming.  Luke 18:1-5
The basic truth underlying each of these stories is that desire springs from the awareness of ultimate
attainment and that persistence in maintaining the consciousness of the desire already being fulfilled results
in its fulfilment
It is not enough to feel yourself into the state of the answered prayer; you must persist in that state. That is
the reason for the injunction
Man ought always to pray and not to faint.
Neville - THE  POWER  OF  AWARENESS.doc                                                          Page 36 of 51Here, to pray means to give thanks for already having what you desire. Only persistency in the assumption
of the wish fulfilled can cause those subtle changes in your mind which result in the desired change in your
life. It matters not whether they be "Angels," "Elisha," or "reluctant judges"; all must respond in harmony
with your persistent assumption. When it appears that people other than yourself in your world do not act
toward you as you would like, it is not due to reluctance on their part but a lack of persistence in your
assumption of your life already being as you want it to be. Your assumption, to be effective, cannot be a
single isolated act; it must be a maintained attitude of the wish fulfilled. [And that maintained attitude that
gets you there, so that you think from your wish fulfilled instead of thinking about your wish, is aided by
assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled frequently. It is the frequency, not the length of time, that makes
it natural. That to which you constantly return constitutes your truest self. Frequent occupancy of the
feeling of the wish fulfilled is the secret of success.]

                                       CASE HISTORIES
IT WILL  be extremely helpful at this point to cite  a number  of specific examples  of the successful
application of this law. Actual case histories are given. In each of these, the problem is clearly defined and
the way imagination was used to attain the required state of consciousness is fully described. In each of
these instances, the author of this book was either personally concerned or was told the facts by the person
involved.
This is a story with every detail of which I am personally familiar.
In the spring of 1943 a recently drafted soldier was stationed in a large army camp in Louisiana. He was
intensely eager to get out of the army, but only in an entirely honorable way.
The only way he could do this was to apply for a discharge. The application then required the approval of
his commanding officer to become effective. Based on army regulations, the decision of the commanding
officer was final and could not be appealed. The soldier, following all the necessary procedure, applied for
a discharge. Within four hours this application was returned marked "disapproved." Convinced he could
not  appeal  the  decision  to  any  higher  authority,  military  or  civilian,  he  turned  within  to  his  own
consciousness, determined to rely on the law of assumption.
The soldier realized that his consciousness was the only reality, that his particular state of consciousness
determined the events he would encounter.
That night, in the interval between getting into bed and falling asleep, he concentrated on consciously using
the law of assumption. In imagination he felt himself to be in his own apartment in New York City. He
visualized his apartment, that is, in his mind's eye he actually saw his own apartment, mentally picturing
each one of the familiar rooms with all the furnishings vividly real.
With this picture clearly visualized, and lying flat on his back, he completely relaxed physically. In this
way he induced a state bordering on sleep, at the same time retaining control of the direction of
his attention. When his body was completely immobilized, he assumed that he was in his own room and
felt himself to be lying in his own bed, a very different feeling from that of lying on an army cot. In
imagination he rose from the bed, walked from room to room touching various pieces of furniture.
          He then went to the window and with his hands resting on the sill looked out on the street on which
his apartment faced. So vivid was all this in his imagination that he saw in detail the pavement, the railings,
the trees and the familiar red brick of the building on the opposite side of the street. He then returned to his
bed and felt himself drifting off to sleep. He knew that it was most important in the successful use of this
law that at the actual point of falling asleep his consciousness be filled with the assumption that he was
already what he wanted to be. All that he did in imagination was based on the assumption that he was no
longer in the army. Night after night the soldier enacted this drama. Night after night in imagination he felt
himself, honorably discharged, back in his home seeing all the familiar surroundings and falling asleep in
his own bed. This continued for eight nights. For eight days his objective experience continued to be
directly opposite to his subjective experience in consciousness

Medical researchers think mainly in terms of inhaled allergens, but in response to a study showing that cases of wheezing disorders
in preschool children in the UK doubled between 1990 and 1998 (The Lancet (Vol 357, p 1821), even they admit that there must be
other unknown factors present to explain this dramatic increase.10/30/24, 3:31 PM Health-Science-Spirit - Truth about Asthma
https://health-science-spirit.com/Diseases/Asthma.html 3/10Some Other Contributing Factors
A headline in New Scientist (19 July 2001) says “Margarine linked to dramatic asthma rise”. This was a study of children in two rural
Australian towns. Toddlers who consume large amounts of margarine and foods fried in vegetable oil may be twice as likely to
develop asthma as others who eat less of these foods. This conﬁrms the well known fact that (omega-6) linoleic acid increases
inﬂammatory tendencies; this applies generally to polyunsaturated seed oils.
Finnish researchers came to a similar conclusion. They found that children who eventually developed allergies ate less butter and
more margarine compared with children who did not develop allergies. Of course, health authorities have been urging us for decades
to consume more polyunsaturated fats and less saturated fat thereby increasing the severity of asthma.
A study in the British Medical Journal (September 25, 1999; 319, 815-819) shows that giving babies other milk than breast milk
before the age of four months greatly increases the risk of asthma and allergies.
Children with low birth weight of less than 1 kg in the US had an asthm a rate of 21% compared to 9% for children with higher birth
weight.
Another New Scientist headline reads “Weekly swimming linked to lung damage” (28 September 2001). This article reports that
children who use chlorinated swimming pools every week get lung damage just like smokers. Also lifeguards who work in indoor
pools have an increased incidence of asthma.
A surprising Japanese study found that school children who ate more ﬁsh had also higher rates of asthma (Preventive Medicine
February 2002;34:221-225). As we know from other studies that ﬁsh oil and even consumption of oily ﬁsh reduce inﬂammations and
asthma, the conclusion is that in this case the high rates of mercury in Japanese coastal waters are the cause of such ﬁsh causing
increased asthma.
There are also various reports of vaccinations causing asthma. One such case is described under the title: “A case of asthma after
vaccination against smallpox.” (Ekbom, K..Acta Med Scand Suppl. 1966; 464:170-1).
Finish researchers found that mothers can prevent eczema and asthma in their children by taking probiotics (acidophilus-biﬁdo
bacteria) while they are pregnant and breastfeeding. Babies normally get their mother's bacteria as they travel down the birth canal,
but modern medicine is preventing this. Babies born by caesarian section are inoculated with hospital bacteria such as Streptococci
and Clostridia.
3. COWS’  MILK AND LACT OSE
In the previous chapter we have seen a collection of factors and triggers, some contradicting each other, which can contribute to
asthma. However, the real cause is the interaction of three factors:
1. Cows’  milk and lactose
2. The antibiotic syndrome or intestinal dysbiosis
3. A low stress tolerance
The contribution of each of these three factors in each individual case may vary greatly, and other factors and triggers mentioned
previously also play a role. Neverthe less, by addressing these three main  factors and with the help of some supportive measures you
are likely to overcome your breathing difﬁculties.
The Problem with Lactose
We saw in the previous chapter that cows’  milk allergy is quite common. This is deﬁnitely a contributing factor, as is allergy to any
other substance. But there is something else involved with cows’  milk, and that is a tendency to cause mucus congestion.
That the medical hygiene hypothesis does not tell the full story can be seen from the fact that the four countries with the highest
asthma rates are also the greatest producers and consumers of paste urized cows’  milk. In New Zealand, for instance, all school
children used to receive free milk, and it has or used to have the highest rate of asthma.
In regard to asthma there are several problems with milk. One problem that relates to all milk is lactose or milk sugar; another is the
protein speciﬁc to cows’  milk, while a further difﬁculty is caused by pasteurization. Casein, the main protein of cows’  milk is difﬁcult to
digest, especially for babies as they have still an immature digestive system, and after pasteurization, which destroys the naturally
present enzymes in milk.
Most European adults and older children who can digest lactose are unable to use galactose efﬁciently. Babies need galactose as an
important building component of the brain, the central nervous system and of many proteins. Thus mother's milk is even higher in
lactose than animal milk to ensure the baby does obtain sufﬁcient galactose.
In later life, very little galactose is needed and this can easily be synth esized from other sugars. Therefore, most of the ingested
galactose is converted in the liver to glucose and used as body fuel, but the amount that can be converted is rather limited, even in a
healthy liver.
This conversion is a slow and complex process requiring four different enzymes. One of these is sometimes missing from birth, giving
rise to a condition known as galactosemia. Continued milk-feeding leads to a build-up of galactose in the baby and causes cataracts,
cirrhosis of the liver and spleen and mental retardation.
If the liver is not healthy, it becomes less able to convert galactose. This fact is sometimes used as a criterion for a clinical liver-
function test. If galactose is injected into someone with a defective liver, much of the galactose will later appear in the urine.10/30/24, 3:31 PM Health-Science-Spirit - Truth about Asthma
https://health-science-spirit.com/Diseases/Asthma.html 4/10Mucic Acid
Unfortunately, under normal conditio ns only part of the galactose is expelled with the urine. If there is a deﬁciency of protective
antioxidants, then the rest is mainly oxidized to galactaric acid, commonly known as mucic acid.
The great health danger of mucic acid is that it is insoluble. The body cannot let it pile up in vital areas and block organ functions or
blood circulation. Therefore, it forms the mucic acid into a sticky suspension in water, called mucus. Thus mucic acid is a main
component of pathogenic (disease-producing) mucus.
It is the function of the lymphatic system to remove dangerous substances, such as mucus, from areas of vital importance and
transport it to the organs of elimination. Mucus is too dangerous to dispose of through the kidneys or with bile through the liver, but it
has a special afﬁnity to the mucous membranes that line the insides of our body openings. Such areas are the lungs, the respiratory
tract and the hollow head spaces, such as the sinuses and the Eustachian tube (a passage between the mouth and the inner ear).
The mucus accumulates in these hollow spaces until external factors help to sensitize the mucous membranes sufﬁciently to allow
the mucus to pass through. This is relatively easy in young individuals and those with a poor sugar metabolism as they have high
levels of histamine and inﬂammatory adrenal hormones. Even minor irritations of the mucous membranes, be it from cold air, dust, air
pollution, pollen or germs, will sensitize these to let some of the mucus ﬂow out.
Such mucus cleansing may be expe rienced periodically as a cold, hay fever, wet cough or running nose. In others, the accumulation
of mucus, which provides a favorable breeding ground for germs, causes chronic infections in speciﬁc areas such as the sinuses, the
middle ear, the respiratory tract and the lungs. This may allow a permanent trickle of mucus through the af fected mucous membrane.
With a high lactose intake, the lymph channels and lymph glands are usually congested with mucus as well. This allows inﬂuenza
and other infections to spread from the sensitized mucous membranes through the mucus-ﬁlled hollow spaces into the lymphatic
system, causing lymph gland swellings and inﬂammations.
I have found that in many people the number of colds, inﬂuenza and other respiratory infections can be varied at will from none to
several per year just by varying the lactose intake. Mucus congestion is also the main cause of ear infections (glue-ear) and hearing
problems, especially in children.
In most cases it is not a lactose allergy but a galactose overload that

areas, you must tr y to gradually work your muscles loose
and flexible and your joints free of the cement-like, toxic
chemical cr ystals. Then the toxins can be dissolved and
excreted by your hard working elimination system.
Great relief from pain and swelling may be obtained
through heat. Heat relieves the muscle spasms and thus
improves the blood flow to both muscles and joints.
Usually it is best to apply heat (via a hot bath, heating
pad or heat salve – cayenne, etc.) for a little while before
exercise. This helps relax the area so you will have an
easier time exer cising. At the hot mineral spas in
California, we see many helpless sufferers of rheumatoid
arthritis getting blessed relief from these hot mineral
waters. If you can’ t go to a hot spring for relief, you can
take a hot tub soak (massage body while soaking ) adding
1 cup of Epsom salts or apple cider vinegar to water.

Nine men in ten are suicides.  – Ben Franklin
Let nature be your teacher.  – William Wordsworth Why do so many large corporations require all
employees to retire at age 65? The main reason is that
by age 65, most people have hardening of the arteries of
the brain. The brain has lost much of its blood supply
and is not getting the life-giving oxygen that it needs to
keep it healthy, sharp, creative, wide-awake and positive.
Remember that many of the capillaries supplying the
brain are as small as a human hair. Years of drinking
chemicalized, inorganic mineral water and years of
eating a highly unbalanced diet heavy in salt has created
masses of toxic acid cr ystals. These cr ystals harden the
arteries, veins and capillaries that must supply the brain
with the needed blood for full brain power.
The Ner vous System is the
Communication Network of the Body
There is a definite strong link between
physical vigor and mental vigor. It all
comes down to the fact that we must have
a sound mind in a healthy body.
Some people actually build rock
formations in the blood vessels
supplying blood to their brains, just
as great rock formations are made
slowly in limestone caverns. Y ou
can see how these great columns
of stalactites and stalagmites are
formed, one drop at a time by
inorganic mineral water. The brain
does not turn into stone in a few
years. But year after year of ingesting
inorganic mineral water and toxic foods
will slowly build these rock formations
in your brain and throughout your body!

The ner vous system, which is made up of
the brain and ner ves, is the communication

Distillation effectively removes the widest variety of toxins and

66 Most big corporations are less likely to hire someone
who is 50 years of age. They know from actual experience
that there is considerable brain deterioration and brain
slow down in the majority of unhealthy people over 50.
It all boils down to simple physics (basic physiological
facts). Y ou have small blood vessels leading to your brain.
The way the average person avoids exer cise, eats junk
and drinks hard water invites degenerative changes in
these blood vessels throughout the body and especially
in the brain. The longer the average person lives in this
manner, the more body degeneration takes place!
Many senior citizens will admit that their mental
faculties seem to be slipping. They will tell you how poor
their memor y has become and how they cannot always
recall names and events. A brain turning to stone does
not have the capacity to be wide awake and sharp! As
this condition gets worse, we call it senility. In time, the
brain solidifies to a point where it remembers nothing.
This is called living in deep senility or Alzheimer’ s
disease. Or is it a living death?
How the Brain Functions
Did you ever stop to consider what makes you think?
Inside the protective covering of the bony skull is a mass
of what we call “gray matter”. Gray matter is tissue
composed of millions of ner ve cells “woven” together –
enabling what we see, hear, taste and touch to give us
an awareness of our status on this earth.
Using  our gray matter, we also think, know, remember,
judge and believe. It was named gray matter because it is
largely pinkish-gray in color. The brain also has a white
part. Our behavior and em otions are controlled by this
mass of tissue. W e now know that the secr etions  of the
endocrine glands also affect the main stream of all
communications, w hich in turn alters the brain cells.
This structure, the brain, is an incredibly complex
electrochemical organ, as individual to each of us as are
fingerprints. It is the miracle of life – a miracle which Cerebrum Membranes

understanding and reasoning power, will power and the
ability to have feelings. Philosophers have called it
“man’ s unconquerable mind.” As we see what has been
developed by it from


 for a limited time, and has serious side ef fects.
So what exactly is it in modern civilization that can be blamed for the deterioration of public
health? The accepted culprits are widespread pollution of air, water and soil, the consequences of
climate change, vastly increased levels of noise, violence and general insecurity, social tensions,
stress, and the breakdown of law and order in many areas of life. All of this is true and valid. But
oddly enough the one overwhelming factor that affects everybody alive is not included in the list
of harmful influences, namely the huge dietary changes that have taken place in the developed
world over the past century or so. (see Chapters 3 and 4.)
This is amazing, if we consider that the quality of the food and drink we consume every day
of our lives is bound to have a powerful effect on our state of health; it becomes less surprising
if we remember that the science of nutrition is conspicuously absent from the training of doctors.
The resulting ignorance deprives them from a powerful yet gentle method of healing that is able
to turn officially incurable conditions into curable ones. One can only hope that some time in the
future that method will enter mainstream medicine.
Meanwhile, however, with its nutritional program the Gerson Therapy has been successfully
curing most “diseases of modern civilization” over several decades. In this chapter we list some
of them and explain how and why the irreducible basis of the therapy, namely the rebuilding of
the immune system and restoring all body defenses, is able to reverse and heal them.

Defeating the Killers
Cancer
Of all the diseases under review, this is undoubtedly the one that strikes the greatest fear into
most hearts and minds. Its incidence is rising, its effects are devastating, the same as the side
effects of the available orthodox treatments, and its mortality rate is high; above all, it remains
apparently incurable. Taking all this together, it is not hard to understand that most people’s
reaction to the very mention of cancer is one of dread.
So let us take a closer look at this scourge, which the medical dictionary describes as ‘an
uncontrolled growth of cells derived from normal tissues,’ 1 adding that the disease comprises
more than 200 different types. This raises some questions: why is the growth uncontrolled, what
are the normal controls, and why do they fail? Furthermore, why is cancer a killer? There can
be uncontrolled growth in so-called benign tumors, too. Those are non-invasive, i.e., they don’t
spread, can be removed fairly easily and generally do not recur. How do they turn into malignant
killers?
While benign tumors are not cancers, they are growths that do not belong in the body, and
represent an early breakdown of the body’s defenses. They do not necessarily recur, but tend to
turn malignant in time, as the body’s defenses continue to weaken. Tumors are called malignant
when they invade adjacent tissues and also release tumor cells into the blood stream. These cells
circulate and are able to set up new colonies, known as metastases, which grow into other tissues.
In due course they invade and destroy essential organs, leading to death.
The body has a system of defenses that maintain homeostasis, the state of dynamic equilibrium
of the internal environment. (see Chapter 4 ). It is the disturbance of this equilibrium that starts
the process of cell deterioration, and the disturbance itself can be caused by various chemicals,
specifically carcinogens, viruses, radiation, ultra-violet light and tobacco. Interestingly enough, it
can also be caused by cytotoxic chemicals used to treat cancer 2, and, of course, by a faulty diet.
Cancer cannot occur in a normally functioning body, because its defenses recognize and
destroy any malignant cell that may develop, or do not allow it to come into being at all. The
immune system plays the leading role in the group of defenses. It recognizes a malignant cell as a
foreign invader and attacks and destroys it, as it would any other intruding germ or virus. However,
the immune system, along with the other defenses, i.e., the enzyme and hormone systems, the
proper mineral balances, etc., consists of organs and glands that need proper nutrients, and can
function only if they are not blocked by toxins. When those conditions don’t apply, the defenses
are unable to fulfill their task, and there is nothing to stop the malignant cell from surviving and

The reason cancer is credited with having more than 200 different types is that the cells of
each variety look different under the microscope, depending on the kind of tissue where they
originate. Still, in all cases cancer essentially represents the uncontrolled proliferation of cells.
This definition even includes leukemias and myelomas that do not belong to the group of solid
tumors, since they affect the bone marrow—where, however, their malignant cells proliferate
without control just the same.
Instead of causing solid tumors, some cancers break down the tissues they invade and cause
severe open lesions. Their margins usually consist of swellings filled with malignant tissue that
invades and breaks down any healthy tissue it touches. This type also proliferates.
Cancer is further broken down into two major and several minor categories, depending on
the tissue where they originate. Cancers derived from epithelial tissues, which line all organs and
blood vessels and the body’s mucous membranes, are called carcinomas. They represent the
largest number of malignancies. Those that originate in connective tissue, bones, blood vessels
and the lymphatic system, are called sarcomas.  Their treatment with the Gerson Therapy is
equally effective for both, and requires little adjustment.
The most aggressive cancers, e.g. melanomas, aggressive lymphomas, and small cell
lung cancers respond most rapidly to the Gerson treatment. It could be that they are the most
thoroughly altered from normal cells, and therefore the newly recovering immune system is able
to recognize them easily. Likewise, excellent results are obtained with ovarian cancers, even
after some treatments with chemotherapy. That does not imply that other malignancies do not
respond. However, as Dr. Gerson pointed out, some of the glandular cancers, including breast and
prostate cancers, are located within glands whose entrance and exit are plugged with tumor cells.
This can make it awkward for the newly oxygenated blood, enriched with enzymes and immune
substances, to reach the malignant cells and kill them. In time that problem gets resolved and
those tumors are destroyed, too. However, this may explain why breast and prostate tumors take
a little longer to reduce.
Patients must understand that even when their tumor is gone, they are not healed yet. Where
Dr. Gerson most clearly diverged from orthodox oncology was in his realization that in cancer
the tumor is NOT the disease, only the symptom of the underlying breakdown of the body’s
systems; that, in other words, cancer is not a thing, i.e., the tumor, but a process, involving the
entire organism.
Therefore, most importantly, the disappearance of the tumor only means that the responses
have been restored to the point of removing the threat to the patient’s life. But that does not equal
healing. True total healing can only occur when all the patient’s organs have been restored, literally
rebuilt, with the best organic foods and continued detoxification. Healing is only complete when

www.thegersonway.comthe damaged toxic liver is cleansed and rebuilt to as near normal as possible. The difficulty is that
there exist no tests to show how well the liver is restored and functioning. The liver enzyme tests
are helpful but incomplete. A patient can have ‘normal’ test results, even if malignancies are still
present. The blood chemistry, blood count and the urinalysis only show that the basic organs are
again functioning, to the extent that the body has become able to heal.
The recovering patient may feel disturbed or disappointed when all this is explained to her
or him, yet the need to achieve complete  healing must override all other considerations. Without
fully understanding the reason for this, there is a risk that when all tests come back ‘normal,’ the
tumors are no longer evident, and the local doctor, unfamiliar with the Gerson principles tells
them that ‘to all practical purposes’ they are healed, they break off the therapy, relapse—and die.
Unfortunately this has happened more than once, wasting much effort, hope and precious lives
Case Histories : Because of the Gerson Therapy’s long, successful record of healing cancer,
enough case studies to fill this volume could be presented. Indeed, separate booklets recording the
healing of a wide variety of cancers are available ( www.thegersonway.com ) Here we only describe

 Foreword by the curator of English and
Italian edition Vera Giovanna Bani
Between 29 June and 13 July 2019 I had the
honor and the privilege of organizing the first
dry fasting practice in Europe (Strunjan - Slove-
nia), with Dr. Filonov and his team of masseurs:
his daughters Olga Kulikova, Anastasiya An-
tonova and nephew Andrey Cherkasskyj. We
worked with a fantastic group of almost thirty
people, all Italians except for one German girl,
one French and one Swiss. The experience was
wonderful, effective and constructive for every-
one (see the p hoto dossier at the end of the
book).  But how did this project of disseminating
dry fasting begin?...
…In October 2016, I began to get interested in
dry fasting without suspecting that this path
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frwould eventually propel me into an unexpected
world. I disco vered that in the post -war Soviet
Union, where pharmaceutical lobbies were en-
tirely inexistent, and a strong spirit of innova-
tion and scientific research prevailed, a medical -
scientific approach entailing therapeutic fasting
was formally consolidated. Drawing on a tradi-
tion previously established in Russia, the mech-
anisms of therapeutic fasting had been success-
fully investigated and clinically tested on thou-
sands of patients over the course of 60 years.
This provided the scientific foundation that
eventuall y made it possible for the Ministry of
Health to approve its methodological indica-
tions. Many Russian doctors had the oppor-
tunity to cultivate this approach and even
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frdevelop a radical branch, as the dry fast could be
defined.
In November 2016, I worked to meet Dr. Fi-
lonov, who is considered the top dry fasting ex-
pert in Russia. I offered him to become the fore-
runner of dry fasting in Italy and he gave me
“carte blanche”. Thus, in March 2017, thanks to
the invitation of the Italian University of Health
heade d by Dr. Valdo Vaccaro, I had the oppor-
tunity to introduce Dr. Filonov to the Italian au-
dience.
In the summer of 2017, I tested this fantastic
method on myself at Dr. Filonov’s headquarters
in Altai Republic (Ust -Sema, West Siberia) and
finally in mid -December 2017 the monograph,
Digiuno secco. Gli ultimi sviluppi della digiuno-
terapia in Russia  (Dry Fasting: the latest
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frdevelopments in fasting in Russia), came to life.
It’s the first non -Russian book about dry fasting!
This 687 -page volume comprises the al most
complete version of the first book by Dr Filonov,
Suchoe lechebnoe golodanie. Mify i realnost (Dry
medical fasting. Myths and reality) and selected
chapters of his second book, Lechenie organizma
sobstvennymi silami  (Curing the body with its
own strengths)1.

 “ the first,
last, and only complete record ever made of the Plains Indians at the height
of their splendid culture.”
The tribes varied region by region, with dif ferent customs, traditions,
and diets. Some, like the Mandan, ate only buf falo flesh and maize, while
others lived on venison and water, and still others harvested plants and
flowers. The tribes looked dif ferent, too, with varying hair colors, facial
features, and skin tones.
And yet Catlin marveled at the fact that all 50 tribes seemed to share the
same superhuman physical characteristics. In some groups, such as the
Crow and the Osage, Catlin wrote there were few men, “at their full growth,
who are less than six feet in stature, and very many of them six and a half,
and others seven feet.” They all seemed to share a Herculean make of broad
shoulders and barrel chests. The women were nearly as tall and just as
striking.
Having never seen a dentist or doctor, the tribal people had teeth that
were perfectly straight—“as regular as the keys of a piano,” Catlin noted.
Nobody seemed to get sick, and deformities and other chronic health
problems appeared rare or nonexistent. The tribes attributed their vigorous
health to a medicine, what Catlin called the “great secret of life.” The secret
was breathing.
The Native Americans explained to Catlin that breath inhaled through
the mouth sapped the body of strength, deformed the face, and caused stress
and disease. On the other hand, breath inhaled through the nose kept the
body strong, made the face beautiful, and prevented disease. “The air which
enters the lungs is as dif ferent from that which enters the nostrils as distilled
water is dif ferent from the water in an ordinary cistern or a frog-pond,” he
wrote.
Healthy nasal breathing started at birth. Mothers in all these tribes
followed the same practices, carefully closing the baby’ s lips with their
fingers after each feeding. At night, they’d stand over sleeping infants and
gently pinch mouths shut if they opened. Some Plains tribes strapped
infants to a straight board and placed a pillow beneath their heads, creating
a posture that made it much harder to breathe through the mouth. During
winter, infants would be wrapped in light clothing and then held at arm’ slength on warmer days so they’d be less prone to get too hot and begin
panting.
All these methods trained children to breathe through their noses, all
day, every day. It was a habit they would carry with them the rest of their
lives. Catlin described how adult tribal members would even resist smiling
with an open mouth, fearing some noxious air might get in. This practice
was as “old and unchangeable as their hills,” he wrote, and it was shared
universally throughout the tribes for millennia.
—
T wenty years after Catlin explored the W est, he set of f again, at age 56, to
live with indigenous cultures in the Andes, Ar gentina, and Brazil. He
wanted to know if “medicinal” breathing practices extended beyond the
Plains. They did. Every tribe Catlin visited over the next several years—
dozens of them—shared the same breathing habits. It was no coincidence,
he reported, that they also shared the same vigorous health, perfect teeth,
and forward-growing facial structure. He wrote about his experiences in
The Br eath of Life, published in 1862. The book was devoted solely to
documenting the wonders of nasal breathing and the hazards of
mouthbreathing.
Catlin was not only a chronicler of breathing methods; he was a
practitioner. Nasal breathing saved his life.
As a boy, Catlin snored and was wracked with one respiratory problem
after another. By the time he reached his 30s and first went out W est, these
problems had become so severe that he’d sometimes spit up blood. His
friends were convinced he had lung disease. Every night Catlin feared he
would die.
“I became fully convinced of the danger of the habit [mouthbreathing],
and resolved to overcome it,” he wrote. Through “sternness of resolution
and perseverance,” Catlin forced his mouth closed while he slept and
always breathed through his nose during waking hours. Soon, there were no
more aches, pains, or bleeding. By his mid-30s, Catlin reported feeling
healthier and stronger than at any other time in his life. “I at length
completely conquered an insidious enemy that was nightly attacking me in
my helpless position, and evidently fast hurrying me to the grave,” he
wrote.Geor ge Catlin would live to be 76, about double the average life
expectancy at the time. He credited his longevity to the “great secret of
life”: to always  breathe through the nose.
•       •       •
It’ s the third night of the nasal breathing phase of the experiment, and I’m
sitting up in bed reading, taking slow and easy breaths through my nose.
I’m not breathing this way out of some “constant adult conviction,” as
Catlin wrote. I’m doing it because my lips are taped shut.
Catlin suggested tying a bandage around the jaw at night, but that
sounded dangerous and dif ficult, so I opted for another technique, which I’d
heard about months earlier from a dentist who runs a private practice in
Silicon V alley.
Dr. Mark Burhenne had been studying the links between
mouthbreathing and sleep for decades, and had written a book on the
subject. He told me that mouthbreathing contributed to periodontal disease
and bad breath, and was the number one cause of cavities, even more
damaging than sugar consumption, bad diet, or poor hygiene. (This belief
had been echoed by other dentists for a hundred years, and was endorsed by
Catlin too.) Burhenne also found that mouthbreathing was both a cause of
and a contributor to snoring and sleep apnea. He recommended his patients
tape their mouths shut at night.
“The health benefits of nose breathing are undeniable,” he told me. One
of the many benefits is that the sinuses release a huge boost of nitric oxide,
a molecule that plays an essential role in increasing circulation and
delivering oxygen into cells. Immune function, weight, circulation, mood,
and sexual function can all be heavily influenced by the amount of nitric
oxide in the body. (The popular erectile dysfunction drug sildenafil, known
by the commercial name V iagra, works by releasing nitric oxide into the
bloodstream, which opens the capillaries in the genitals and elsewhere.)
Nasal breathing alone can boost nitric oxide sixfold, which is one of the
reasons we can absorb about 18 percent more oxygen than by just breathing
through the mouth. Mouth taping, Burhenne said, helped a five-year -old
patient of his overcome ADHD, a condition directly attributed to breathing
dif ficulties during sleep. It helped Burhenne and his wife cure their ownsnoring and breathing problems. Hundreds of other patients reported similar
benefits.
The whole thing seemed a little sketchy until Ann Kearney, a doctor of
speech-language pathology at the Stanford V oice and Swallowing Center,
told me the same. Kearney helped rehabilitate patients who had swallowing
and breathing disorders. She swore by mouth taping.
Kearney herself had spent years as a mouthbreather due to chronic
congestion. She visited an ear, nose, and throat specialist and discovered
that her nasal cavities were blocked with tissue. The specialist advised that
the only way to open her nose was through sur gery or medications. She
tried mouth taping instead.
“The first night, I lasted five minutes before I ripped it of f,” she told me.
On the second night, she was able to tolerate the tape for ten minutes. A
couple of days later, she slept through the night. W ithin six weeks, her nose
opened up.
“It’ s a classic example of use it or lose it,” Kearney said. T o prove her
claim, she examined the noses of 50 patients who had under gone
laryngectomies, a procedure in which a breathing hole is cut into the throat.
W ithin two months to two years, every patient was suf fering from complete
nasal obstruction.
Like other parts of the body, the nasal cavity responds to whatever
inputs it receives. When the nose is denied regular use, it will atrophy. This
is what happened to Kearney and many of her patients, and to so much of
the general population. Snoring and sleep apnea often follow.
Keeping the nose constantly in use, however, trains the tissues inside the
nasal cavity and throat to flex and stay open. Kearney, Burhenne, and so
many of their patients healed themselves this way: by breathing from their
noses, all day and all night.
How to apply mouth tape, or “sleep tape” as it’ s also called, is a matter
of personal preference, and everyone I talked to had their own technique.
Burhenne liked to place a small piece horizontally over the lips; Kearney
preferred a fat strip over the entire mouth. The internet was filled with
suggestions. One guy used eight pieces of inch-wide tape to create a sort of
tape goatee. Another used duct tape. A woman suggested taping the entire
lower half of the face.

. Tumours that do not produce much lactic acid are
dormant and harmless.
New research evidence now shows that tumours cannot grow or develo p metastases if they are made alkaline as with sufﬁcient oral
sodium bicarbonate. Even better, tumours can be made to shrink if they are alkaline. The magical number is an acid-alkaline balance
or pH of 7.2 (pH 7 is neutral), higher numbers show that it is alkaline. When one side of a tumour in this study was slightly acidic or
below pH 7, and the other side pH 7.3, then a tumour would shrink at the alkaline side and grow into the acidic tissue. It would literally
move around. When the mice with transplanted tumours were given a solution of 17 grams of sodium bicarbonate in water and
allowed to drink as much as they liked, the tumours started shrinking, while in the untreated mice the aggressive tumours doubled in
two to three weeks.
The beauty of alkalising therapy is that it also prevents inﬂammations. Therefore, alkalising the body sufﬁciently to keep the pH of the
urine between pH 7 and 8 basically would not only stop pain but also remove all three causes of death from cancer: alkaline tumours
cannot grow and obstruct vital body functions; inﬂammation is prevented or greatly reduced and does not cause death when a tumour
gradually shrinks, and metastasis is prevented so that cachexia will not occur at a later time.
High alkalinity also tends to suppress the cancer microbes that caused all of these problems in the ﬁrst place. However, with
advanced cancer the body commonly harbours an overgrowth of these  dangerous fungal-type microbes which do produce a lot of
lactic acid in different places and need to be controlled in addition with suitable antimicrobial therapy which I have outlined in The
Ultimate Cleanse.
An other interesting research ﬁnding is the ability of MSM and DMSO, individually and jointly, to convert cancer cells back into normal
body cells. In the case of MSM this is clearly the result of oxygen supplied in a form that re-starts the oxidative energy metabolism of
cancer cells. This shows that normal cells can be easily converted into cancer cells by blocking the cellular oxygen metabolism, and

https://health-science-spirit.com/Diseases/Cancer/No-one-Needs-to-Die-of-Cancer.html 1/2these can then be normalised again by re-starting the oxygen metabolism. There are indications that the DMSO-MSM pair can act as
an additional oxygen delivery system to cells. This is especially importa nt with advanced cancer and cachexia but also with chronic
fatigue and ﬁbromyalgia or muscle pain.
Several decades earlier the German cancer Researcher Dr. Gerhard Seeger had already demonstrated this same principle by
blocking the oxidative energy production with chemicals, and then re-establishing it again with fresh raw food, such as beetroot.
However, this worked only as long as cancer cells were not too strongly malignant. The degree of malignancy depends on the extent
to which the oxidative energy meta bolism has been blocked. In the MSM experiment highly malignant melanoma cells had been
normalised which is particularly encouraging.
I expect that drug companies are now trying to develop an expensive drug that can partly do the same as sodium bicarbonate, but
commonly that will take ten or more years to come onto the market. Health-conscious individuals do not need to wait for that but can
pay attention to their acid-alkaline balance and keep bad microbes in check. This prevents not only tumours from developing but also
helps to stop other chronic diseases which are all more or less due to overacidity, inﬂammation and microbes.

by W alter Last
There is widespread suppression of natural cancer therapies, and persecution of successful therapists. The undisputed leader in this
ﬁeld is the USA, and other governments and medical authorities happily follow the US example.
The rationale for this suppression is the claim that natural cancer therapies have not been scientiﬁcally proven to be effective, and
such treatment, even if harmless, would delay the more effective conven tional cancer treatment. This argument would be laughable if
it were not so tragic for millions of suf ferers.
Nevertheless, one part of this argum ent is true. Natural therapies are not scientiﬁcally proven to give better results than conventional
treatment. Medical authorities, of course, control all research funds and facilities, and nothing is given to natural therapists to prove
their case. When conventional medical institutions investigated natural remedies, it was done in such a way that a negative outcome
was guaranteed.
This happened, for instance with laetrile. Thousands of patients and various scientiﬁc studies have shown it to be effective. The
ofﬁcial trials by the US Federal Drug Administration (FDA), which had banned laetrile even before the trials had begun, were declared
negative. The initial tests actually were positive until a known therapy resistant strain of tumors was used. Even insiders charged that
these tests had been rigged to make sure that they failed.
It was similar with the ofﬁcial vitamin C trial. Natural therapists know that high dosages must be continued more or less indeﬁnitely
and that it is extremely dangerous to stop treatment abruptly. In this decisive ofﬁcial trial 10g daily was given to 'terminal' patients for
two months and then stopped abrup tly. No patient died during treatmen t but the high rate of death after the treatment was stopped
was seen as proof that the treatment had failed.
However, natural therapists do not rely on individual remedies. Commonly they use a holistic program, including cleansing, diet,
herbal and nutritional remedies, as well as emotional and mind therapies. Conventional medical researchers are completely ignorant
in this area; even if they wanted to, they would not be able to test holistic cancer therapies. Only holistic cancer therapists are
qualiﬁed to do so. Yet instead of receiving any resources to proof their methods, they have been ruthlessly persecuted for the last
hundred years.
The medical profession had an excellent chance to properly investigat e nutritional cancer therapy when a US Senate Committee
moved strongly to provide extensive funds for research of the treatmen t used by Dr Gerson because Senators were so impressed
with his results.
However, the American Medical Association lobbied so strongly against research into nutritional cancer therapies that the move was
defeated in the Senate, although by only four votes.
Albert Schweitzer wrote of the man the AMA  regarded as a quack: 'I see in him (Dr Gerson) one of the most eminent geniuses in the
history of medicine' and, 'A  medical genius who walked among us.'
I am sure history will show eventually who the real cancer quacks were. Because of such inﬂuential support Gerson was not dragged
before the courts like other successful cancer therapists, but the Gerson clinic had to be moved to Mexico to escape the pressure.
Royal Ray Rife fared even worse. He invented a powerful microscope that enabled him to see the virus form of a cancer microbe that
he then succeeded in destroying with a speciﬁc electro magnetic frequency. Initially he had the support of the AMA, University
departments and the prestigious Franklin Institute and Smithsonian Institution and many individual doctors reported good results.
Cancer apparently could be reliably cured. But this caused a sudden change of mind of the AMA. The Rife instruments everywhere
were destroyed; Rife had to ﬂee while an associate who had carried on after the ban spent three years in jail.
The Rife saga unfolded during the 1930's and 40's but is currently restaged with the persecution of Gaston Naessens. He, too,
invented a powerful microscope to observe the effect of treatments on the cancer microbe. From this he developed a remedy, called
714X, which is injected into a lymph node. His fame for curing leukemia spread so rapidly in the 1960's that even the more tolerant
French authorities felt obliged to put him on trial for practicing medicine without a license.
Naessens ﬂed to Canada where he again became famous for his cancer cure. Despite strong support from inﬂuential circles
Naessens had to face new court trials in Canada in the 80s for practicin g medicine without a license (Problems for Naessens have
since ceased with recognition of the central chemical preparation in his therapy - Trimethyl-bicyclo-nitraminoheptane Chloride or
