i email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frAfter working independently for two years, I
was fortunate enough to go on to specialize in St.
Petersburg, at the fasting department led by Pro-
fessor Alexsey Nikolayevich Kokosov. There, for
the first time I heard about absolute (dry) fasting
and its application in the treatment of diseases.
It happened that some of my patients who
had practiced a water fasting course had seen all
their symptoms disappear during the fast, but at
the end of it part of the symptoms had returned.
Those were unpleasant moments for me. I had
pondered for a long time how to improve the ef-
fectiveness of the method, understanding that,
obviously, the longer the period of fasting, the
better the result would be. But unfortunately
times were changing, people  had to start paying
for the health services and not everyone could

strengthen the curative effect of fasting under
the conditions offered by our sanatorium?
It was my dog who suggested a solution. He
had been  hit by a motorcycle and after the acci-
dent had given up not only eating but also drink-
ing. For seven days, he remained motionless in a
dark corner of the shed and only on the eighth
day he began drinking, and then eating. Then I
thought he had an internal  trauma and probably
an edema. He instinctively felt it and for this rea-
son he gave up drinking, which ended up saving
him.
After a while, as if on purpose, I, too, had an
adventure with the motorbike: after a day of fish-
ing I slipped and sank in the icy water. To get
home, I had to travel twenty miles on a

bone. This accident provoked an acute sinusitis
and I had awful pains every time I lowered my
head.
I began to reflect on the situation. I thought:
the pains are mainly caused by an edema. But if
there is no water, there will be no edema. I de-
cided to fast without water until symptoms re-
solved.
On the fifth day of dry fast all the symptoms
of the disease had disappeared and even today
they do not bother me anymore. That was my
first dry fast experiment. I was at Lake Baikal and
it was not difficult to practice the fast, thanks
also to the fact that I had a good experience of
water fasting. In any case, I was most impressed
by the therapeutic effect and the  results obtained
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frin such a short period of time. I had assisted pa-
tients with sinusitis, but the results only showed
up after the tenth day of water fasting.
One day a young man suffering from chronic
prostatitis came to see me. I had already assisted
him on a fourteen -day water fast. After the prac-
tice he was better, but he still had periodic aggra-
vations. I reflected that prostatitis is an infec-
tious process. Every infection loves to reproduce
in water, edema is present in any infectious pro-
cess. The boy  was serious about his intent to heal
and my arguments about dry fasting convinced
him. He did a 5 -days dry fast and then a 5 -days
water fast. Exactly one year later he came back to
me and said that he did not want to fast with wa-
ter anymore, that he liked  the effect of dry fast-
ing and that there were no exacerbations that
year. Under my direct supervision he did a 7 -day
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frdry fast. Later he called me often to tell me that
he felt very satisfied with the achieved results.
I was afraid to carry out a dry fast longer than
seven days, but in life I have always been fortu-
nate to meet interesting and unique people. For
family reasons, I was forced to go to the Altai re-
gion, where I was offered to work in a medical
center specializing in therapeutic fasting.
At the time, from the city of Ulan -Ude, I re-
ceived an invitation to a conference dedicated to
fasting. The conference attracted the most fa-
mous doctors specializing in therapeutic fasting,
from all over Russia. I went. On this occasion I
had the good fortune to m eet one of the founders
of the dry fasting method, Professor L. A.
Shchennikov, who assisted patients on 11 -day
fasting. After the conference the professor in-
vited me to visit him in Kislovodsk. There, I was
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fracquainted with his patients and studied his
method in practice. This is a very effective, but
very difficult approach for an untrained person
When I returned home after being in Kis-
lovodsk I did a 9 -day dry fast, spending my time
at home and a bit in the Altai mountains near
Lake Teletskoe. Then I realized that a serious dry
fast can only happen by staying in nature, possi-
bly in the mountains and near mountain rivers.
After this experience I did a 10 -days dry fast, but
only staying in the Altai mountains: we spent the
whole period on horseback, on e xcursions. Con-
sidering all the advantages and disadvantages of
the various methods of dry fasting and my per-
sonal experience, now I believe that the most ef-
fective approach is the "fractional dry fasting"
that I propose to all my patients.
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frI have been work ing with therapeutic fasting
for 30 years. I have personally assisted hundreds
of patients. There have been excellent results but
there have also been cases in which therapeutic
fasting did not help. People often call me, write
to me or simply ask me how to start and how to
get the maximum benefit from this technique.
Nowadays, thanks to the Internet, information
regarding dry fasting is spreading rapidly. To tell
the truth, it is often contradictory information:
some people write that with a 2 -day dry fast  you
can recover from cancer, while others say that in
order to heal, you need a 15 -day dry fasting.
Both are wrong. Dry fasting, according to my
personal experience, is one of the most effective
methods among types of fasts but if you are not
properly pre pared and it is practices correctly it
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frcan be very risky, like all other methods of heal-
ing.
Unfortunately, people turn to this method
when it is too late, as a last resort, after having
tried everything and wasted a lot of time. I al-
ways tell my patients that everything needs to be
done on time. This method, like others, has its
indications and contraindications, however its
effectiveness is incomparable in treating the ini-
tial phase of almost all kinds of diseases.
There are real horror stories about the  dam-
age that a dry fast could cause. It is not my inten-
tion to underestimate other techniques of fasting
and treatment, but I firmly believe that it is very
important to provide people with the most
truthful and complete information and the pos-
sibility of choice.
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frIf someone decides to autonomously tend to
their own healing using the dry fasting method,
then they must do it correctly, in order to obtain
the maximum benefit and make use of all its po-
tential. My book is dedicated to this category of
people. I tried to illustrate the method as clearly
and completely as I can, providing highly relia-
ble information, based on the results of decades
of practice and confirmed by my patients’ feed-
back. Remember: a man can bear anything if he
knows why and for what pur pose he is doing it.

epigenetics is all those Italian words (fortiss imo and the like) that give instructions on how the notes should be
played.” (Alexander)

For those unfamiliar with musical concepts, another book, Pottenger’s Prophecy, provides this metaphor for
epigenetics that also incorporates the terminology commonly  used in genetics research: “If you were building a
house, the architect would provide the blueprint (the genotype); and the builder would work with building materials
from the environment (the epigenetic mechanism) to create the house. In turn, the finish ed house would be the
phenotype, the end result.” (p. 24) While Pottenger did not necessarily realize the significance of the conclusions
of his research at the time, Pottenger and his cats paved the way for modern epigenetics.

The Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga Guidebook
21 Days of Inspiration
Wisdom for Living: Deepak Chopra’s Book of QuotesOnly a few decades ago, conventional medicine viewed the body as a machine
whose parts would inevitably break down until it could no longer be repaired. As a
medical student, I learned that random chemical reactions determined everything
that happened in the body, the mind and body were separate and independent
from each other, and genes largely determined our health and lifespan.
Today scientific research is arriving at a radically different understanding: while
the body appears to be material, it is really a field of energy and intelligence that is
inextricably connected to the mind. We now know that what used to be considered
the “normal” experience of aging—a progressive descent into physical and mental
incapacity—is in large part a conditioned response. The mind influences every cell in
the body and therefore human aging is fluid and changeable. It can speed up, slow
down, and even reverse itself.
There are many studies demonstrating the profound influence of the mind and
beliefs on aging. For example, a landmark study by Harvard psychologist Ellen
Langer, Ph.D., showed that the so-called irreversible signs of aging, including
deterioration in hearing, vision, manual dexterity, muscle strength, and memory,
could be reversed through psychological shifts in awareness and increases in
physical and mental activity.
Even though we all have genetic predispositions, our health and aging aren’t
predetermined. By making conscious choices in our behavior and where we focus
our attention, we can transform our experience of our body to decrease our
biological age.
These seven steps are practical ways to tap into your inner reservoir of unlimited
energy, creativity, vitality, and love.
Love,GROW YOUNGER AND LIVE LONGER
7 STEPS TO RADICAL WELLBEING:  Grow Younger and Live Longer
www.chopra.comEvery day in every way, I am increasing my mental and physical
capacity. I am reversing my biological age by changing my
perception of my body, its aging, and time. 7 STEPS TO RADICAL WELLBEING: Step 1Perception is a selective act of attention and interpretation. What you experience
as “reality,” including your physical body and aging, is shaped by your habits
of perception. While most people are conditioned to see the body as a static,
biological machine, you can begin to view it as a field of energy, transformation,
and intelligence that is constantly renewing itself.
Begin to notice both your internal dialogue and how you speak about your body
and aging. If you find yourself saying things like, “I’m hitting the age where I’ll need
reading glasses,” “I’m too old to try yoga (or some other activity),” “I inherited my
dad’s bad back,” or other such statements, make a conscious choice to shift your
perspective and change what you tell yourself about your body and age.
Keep in mind that your cells are eavesdropping on what you say, so unless you
want to have your father’s bad back or anything else that “runs in the family,” don’t
nurture that seed of intention in your awareness.CHANGE YOUR PERCEPTIONS OF YOUR BODY

“You can free yourself from aging by reinterpreting your body
and by grasping the link between belief and biology.”
~ Deepak ChopraI prioritize self-care by meditating regularly, allowing
myself to rest in the sacred space of silent connection
so I may be calm and centered. 7 STEPS TO RADICAL WELLBEING: Step 2STEP 2
Meditation is a simple yet powerful tool that takes us to a state of profound
relaxation that dissolves fatigue and the accumulated stress that accelerates the
aging process. During meditation, our breathing slows, our blood pressure and
heart rate decrease, and stress hormone levels fall. By its very nature, meditation
calms the mind, and when the mind is in a state of restful awareness, the body
relaxes too.
Research shows that people who meditate regularly develop less hypertension,
heart disease, anxiety, and other stress-related illnesses that speed up aging.
Furthermore, new studies are finding that meditation literally restores the brain. A
groundbreaking study conducted by Massachusetts General Hospital found that
as little as eight weeks of meditation not only helped people feel calmer but also
produced changes in various areas of the brain, including growth in the areas
associated with memory, empathy, sense of self, and stress regulation.
This study adds to the expanding body of research about the brain’s amazing
plasticity and capacity to grow and change at any stage of life. We can nurture our
brain’s power and maintain a youthful mind by developing a regular meditation
practice.
Getting Started with Meditation
I usually recommend that people learn a traditional meditation practice from
a qualified instructor. That way, you know exactly what to do at any point in
meditation and with any experience that comes along. Often when people try
to learn on their own or from a book, they learn incorrectly and soon give up in
frustration because they aren’t experiencing the expected benefits. For those who
are interested, the Chopra Center offers instruction in Primordial Sound Meditation,
a natural, easy practice that dates back thousands of years to India’s Vedic traditionMANAGE YOUR STRESS WITH MEDITATION7 STEPS TO RADICAL WELLBEING: Step 2
www.chopra.comI honor my body’s need for rest by prioritizing deep,
revitalizing, undisturbed sleep. 7 STEPS TO RADICAL WELLBEING: Step 3Getting regular restful sleep is an essential key to staying healthy and vital, yet it is so
often neglected or underemphasized. There is even a tendency for people to boast
about how little sleep they can get by on. In reality, a lack of restful sleep disrupts
the body’s innate balance, weakens our immune system, and speeds up the aging
process.

Human beings generally need between six and eight hours of restful sleep each
night. Restful sleep means that you’re not using pharmaceuticals or alcohol to get
to sleep but that you’re drifting off easily once you turn off the light and are sleep -
ing soundly through the night. If you feel energetic and vibrant when you wake up,
you’ve had a night of restful sleep. If you feel tired and unenthusiastic, you haven’t
had restful sleep.
You can get the highest quality sleep by keeping your sleep cycles in tune with the
rhythms of the universe, known as circadian rhythms. This means going to bed by
about 10 p.m. and waking at 6 a.m.
Ideally, eat only a light meal in the evening, before 7:30 if possible, so that your
sleep isn’t hampered by the digestive processes. You can go for a leisurely walk after
dinner and then be in bed by 10 p.m.
It’s also very helpful to download your thoughts from the day in a journal before
going to bed so that your mind doesn’t keep you awake.GET ABUNDANT RESTFUL SLEEP7 STEPS TO RADICAL WELLBEING: Step 3
www.chopra.comSTEP 3I lovingly nurture my body by listening to its needs and
responding proportionately with healthy, alive, vibrant
foods and lots of water.  7 STEPS TO RADICAL WELLBEING: Step 4There are “dead” foods that accelerate aging and entropy and others that renew and
revitalize the body. Foods to eliminate or minimize include items that are canned,
frozen, microwaved, or highly processed. Focus on eating a variety of fresh and
freshly prepared food.
A simple way to make sure that you are getting a balanced diet is to include the six
tastes (sweet, salty, sour, pungent, bitter, and


 more of the body’s energy budget toward healing. By the end of five or sixdays on water, I estimate that from 40 to 50 percent of the body’s availableenergy is being used for healing, repair and detoxification.
The amount of work that a fasting body’s own healing energy can do and what
it feels like to be there when it is happening is incredible. But you can’t know it ifyou haven’t felt it. So hardly anyone in our present culture knows.
As I mentioned in the first chapter, at Great Oaks School I apprenticed myself
to the traveling masters of virtually every system of natural healing that existedduring the ‘70s. I observed every one of them at work and tried most of them onmy clients. After all that I can say with experience that I am not aware of anyother healing tool that can be so effective as the fast.
Essentials of a Successful, Safe Fast
1. Fast in a bright airy room, with exceptionally good ventilation, because
fasters not only need a lot of fresh air; their bodies give off powerfully offensiveodors.
2. Sun bathe if possible in warm climates for 10 to 20 minutes in the morning
before the sun gets too strong.
3. Scrub/massage the skin with a dry brush, stroking toward the heart,
followed by a warm water shower two to four times a day to assist the skin ineliminating toxins. If you are too weak to do this, have an assisted bed bath.
4. Have two enemas daily for the first week of a fast and then once daily until
the fast is terminated.
5. Insure a harmonious environment with supportive people or else fast alone if
you are experienced. Avoid well-meaning interference or anxious criticism at all
cost. The faster becomes hypersensitive to others’ emotions.
6. Rest profoundly except for a short walk of about 200 yards morning and
night.
7. Drink water! At least three quarts every day. Do not allow yourself to
become dehydrated!
8. Control yourself! Break a long fast on diluted non-sweet fruit juice such as
grapefruit juice, sipped a teaspoon at a time, no more than eight ounces at a timeno oftener than every 2 or 3 hours. The second day you eat, add small quantitiesof fresh juicy fruit to the same amount of juice you took the day before no oftenerthan every 3 hours. By small quantities I mean half an apple or the equivalent. Onthe third day of eating, add small quantities of vegetable juice and juicy vegetablessuch as tomatoes and cucumbers.
Control yourself! The second week after eating resumed add complex
vegetable salads plus more complex fruit salads. Do not mix fruit and vegetablesat meals. The third week add raw nuts and seeds no more than ½ ounce threetimes daily. Add ¼ avocado daily. Fourth week increase to 3 ounces of rawsoaked nuts and seeds daily and ½ avocado daily. Cooked grains may also beadded, along with steamed vegetables and vegetable soups.
The Prime Rules Of Fasting
Another truism of natural hygiene is that we dig our own graves with our teeth.
It is sad but true that almost all eat too much quantity of too little quality. Dietaryexcesses are the main cause of death in North America. Fasting balances theseexcesses. If people were to eat a perfect diet and not overeat, fasting wouldrarely be necessary.
There are two essential rules of fasting. If these rules are ignored or broken,
fasting itself can be life threatening. But if the rules are followed, fasting presentsfar less risk than any other important medical procedure with a far greaterlikelihood of a positive outcome. And let me stress here, there is no medical
procedure without risk. Life itself is fraught with risk, it is a one-way ticket from
birth to death, with no certainty as to when the end of the line will be reached. Butin my opinion, when handling degenerative illness and infections, natural hygieneand fasting usually offer the best hope of healing with the least possible risk.
The first vital concern is the duration of the fast. Two eliminatory processes go
on simultaneously while fasting. One is the dissolving and elimination of theexcess, toxic or dysfunctional deposits in the body, and second process, thegradual exhaustion of the body’s stored nutritional reserves. The fasting body firstconsumes those parts of the body that are unhealthy; eventually these are all gone.Simultaneously the body uses up stored fat and other reserve nutritional elements.A well-fed reasonably healthy body usually has enough stored nutrition to fast forquite a bit longer than it takes to “clean house.”
While house cleaning is going on the body uses its reserves to rebuild organs
and rejuvenate itself. Rebuilding starts out very slowly but the repairs increase atan ever-accelerating rate. The “overhaul” can last only until the body has no morereserves. Because several weeks of fasting must pass by before the “overhaul”gets going full speed, it is wise to continue fasting as long as possible so as tobenefit from as much rejuvenation as possible.
It is best not to end the fast before all toxic or dysfunctional deposits are
eliminated, or before the infection is overcome, or before the cause for complainthas been healed. The fast must be ended before all of the body’s essential-to-life
stored nutritional reserves are exhausted. If the fast goes beyond this point,starvation begins. Then, fasting-induced organic damage can occur, and death canfollow, usually several weeks later. Almost anyone not immediately close to deathhas enough stored nutrition to water fast for ten days to two weeks. Mostreasonably healthy people have sufficient reserves to water fast for a month. LaterI will explain how a faster can somewhat resupply their nutritional reserves whilecontinuing to fast, and thus safely extend the fasting period.
The second essential concern has to do with adjusting the intensity of the fast.
Some individuals are so toxic that the waste products released during a fast aretoo strong, too concentrated or too poisonous for the organs of elimination tohandle safely, or to be handled within the willingness of the faster to tolerate thediscomforts that toxic releases generate. The highly-toxic faster may evenexperience life-threatening symptoms such as violent asthma attacks. This kind offaster has almost certainly been dangerously ill before the fast began. Others,though not dangerously sick prior to fasting, may be nearly as toxic and thoughnot in danger of death, they may not be willing to tolerate the degree ofdiscomfort fasting can trigger. For this reason I recommend that if at all possible,before undertaking a fast the person eat mostly raw foods for two months andclean up all addictions. This will give the body a chance to detoxify significantlybefore the water fast is started, and will make water fasting much morecomfortable. Seriously or dangerously ill people should only fast with experiencedguidance, so the rapidity of their detoxification process may be adjusted to alower level if necessary.
A fast of only one week can accomplish a significant amount of healing. Slight
healing does occur on shorter fasts, but it is much more difficult to see or feel theresults. Many people experience rapid relief from acute headache pain ordigestive distress such as gas attacks, mild gallbladder pain, stomach aches, etc.,after only one day of abstention from food. In one week of fasting a person canrelieve more dangerous conditions such as arthritic pain, rheumatism, kidney pain,and many symptoms associated with allergic reactions,. But even more fastingtime is generally needed for the body to completely heal serious diseases. That’sbecause eliminating life-threatening problems usually involve rebuilding organs thataren’t functioning too well. Major rebuilding begins only after major detoxificationhas been accomplished, and this takes time.
Yes, even lost organ function can be partially or completely restored by fasting.
Aging and age-related degeneration is progressive, diminishing organ functioning.
Organs that make digestive enzymes secrete less enzymes. The degenerated
immune system loses the ability to mobilize as effectively when the body isattacked. Liver and kidney efficiency declines. The adrenals tire, becomingincapable of dumping massive amounts of stress-handling hormones or ofrepeating that effort time after time without considerable rest in between. Theconsequences of these interdependent deteriorations is a cascade of deteriorationthat contributes to even more rapid deteriorations. The name for this cascadingprocess is aging. Its inevitable result—death.
Fasting can, to a degree, reverse aging. Because fasting improves organ
functioning, it can slow down aging.
Fasters are often surprised that intensified healing can be uncomfortable. They
have been programmed by our culture and by allopathic doctors to think that ifthey are doing the right thing for their bodies they should feel better immediately. Iwish it weren’t so, but most people have to pay the piper for their dietaryindiscretions and other errors in living. There will be aches and minor pains anduncomfortable sensations. More about that later. A rare faster does feelimmediately better, and continues to feel ever better by the day, and even hasincredible energy while eating nothing, but the majority of us folks just have totough it out, keeping in mind that the way out is the way through. It is important toremind yourself at times that even with some discomfort and considering theinconvenience of fasting that you are getting off easy—one month of self-denialpays for those years of indulgence and buys a regenerated body.
Length Of The Fast
How long should a person fast? In cases where there are serious complaints to
remedy but where there are no life threatening disease conditions, a good rule ofthumb is to fast on water for one complete day (24 hours) for each year that theperson has lived. If you are 30 years old, it will take

 your life.
Yet you do not have to, and never did.
There is nothing y ou cannot be, there is
nothing you cannot do. There is nothing
you cannot have.
That sounds like a pie -in-the-sky promise.
What other kind of promise would you have
God make? Would you believe Me if I
promised you less?
For thousands of years people have
disbelieved the promises of God for the most  extraordinary reason: they were too
good to be true. So you have chosen a
lesser  promise —a lesser love. For the
highest promise of God proceeds from the
highest  love. Yet you cannot conceive of a
perfect love, an d so a perfect promise is
also inconceivable. As is a perfect person.
Therefore,  you cannot believe even in your
Self.
Failing to believe in any of this means
failure to believe in God. For belief in God
produces belief in God’s greatest gift —
unconditional  love—and God’s greatest
promise —unlimited potential.
May I interrupt you here? I hate to interrupt
God when He’s on a roll...but I’ve heard this
talk of unlimited potential before, and it
doesn’t square with the human experience.
Forget the  difficulties e ncountered by the average person —what about the
challenges of those born  with mental or
physical limitations? Is their potential
unlimited?
You have written so in your own
Scripture —in many ways and in many
places.
Give me one reference.
Look to see what y ou have written in
Genesis, chapter 11, verse 6, of your Bible.
It says, “And the Lord said, ‘Behold, the
people are one, and they have all one
language;  and this is only the beginning of
what they will do: and now nothing will be
restrained from  them, which they have
imagined to do.’ ”
Yes. Now, can you trust that?  That does not answer the question of the
feeble, the infirm, the handicapped, those
who are  limited.
Do you think they are limited, as you put it,
not of their choice? Do you imagine that  a
human soul encounters life challenges —
whatever they may be —by accident? Is  this
your imagining?
Do you mean a soul chooses what kind of
life it will experience ahead of time?
No, that would defeat the purpose of the
encounter. The purpose is to create your
experience —and thus, create your Self —in
the glorious moment of Now. You do  not,
therefore, choose the life you will
experience ahead of time.
You may, however, select the persons,
places, and events —the conditions and  circumstances, the challenges and
obstacles, the opportunities and options —
with which to create your experience. You
may select the colors for your palette, the
tools  for your chest, the machinery for your
shop. What you create with these is your
business. That is the busine ss of life.
Your potential is unlimited in all that you’ve
chosen to do. Do not assume that a soul
which has incarnated in a body which you
call limited has not reached its full  potential,
for you do not know what that soul was
trying to do. You do not  understand its
agenda. You are unclear as to its intent.
Therefore,  bless every person and
condition, and give thanks. Thus,  you affirm
the perfection of God’s creation —and show
your faith in it. For nothing happens by
accident in God’s world, and there is no  such thing as coincidence. Nor is the world
buffeted by random choice, or something
you call fate.
If a snowflake is utterly perfect in its design,
do you not think the same could be said
about something as magnificent as your
life?
But even Jesus healed the sick. Why would
he heal them if their condition was so
“perfect”?
Jesus did not heal those he healed
because he saw their condition as
imperfect. He  healed those he healed
because he saw those souls asking for
healing as part o f their process. He saw t he
perfection of the process. He recognized
and understood  the soul’s intention. Had
Jesus felt that all illness, mental or physical, represented  imperfection, would
he not have simply healed everyone on the
planet, all at once?  Do you doubt that he
could do this?
No. I believe he could have.
Good. Then the mind begs to know: Why
did he not do it? Why would the Christ
choose to have some suffer, and others be
healed? For that matter, why does God
allow any suffering at any time? This
question has been asked before, and the
answer remains the same. There is
perfection in the process —and all life
arises out  of choice. It is not appropriate to
interfere with choice, nor to question it. It is
particularly inappropriate to condemn it.
What is appropriate is to observe it, and
then to do whatever might be done to assist  the soul in seeking and making a higher
choice. Be watchful, therefore, of the
choices of others, but not judgmental.
Know that their choice is perfect for them in
this moment now —yet stand rea dy to
assist them should the moment come when
they seek a newer choice, a different
choice —a higher choice.
Move into communion with the souls of
others, and their purpose, their intention,
will be clear to you. This is what Jesus did
with those he healed —and with all those
whose lives he touched. Jesus healed all
those who came to him, or who sent  others
to him supplicating for them. He did not
perform a random healing. To have  done so
would have been to violate a sacred Law of
the Universe:
Allow each sou l to walk its path.  But does that mean we must not help
anyone without being asked? Surely not, or
we would  never be able to help the starving
children of India, or the tortured masses of
Africa, or the  poor, or the downtrodden
anywhere. All humanitarian e ffort would be
lost, all charity  forbidden. Must we wait for
an individual to cry out to us in desperation,
or for a nation of  people to plead for help,
before we are allowed to do what is
obviously right?
You see, the question answers itself. If a
thing i s obviously right, do it. But remember
to exercise extreme judgment regarding
what you call “right” and “wrong.”
A thing is only right or wrong because you
say it is. A thing is not right or wrong
intrinsically.  It isn’t?
“Rightness” or “wrongness” is not an
intrinsic condition, it is a subjective
judgment in  a personal value system. By
your subjective judgments do you create
your Self —by your personal values do you
determine and demonstrate Who You Are.
The world exists exactly as it is so that you
may mak e these judgments. If the world
existed in perfect condition, your life
process of Self creation would be
terminated. It  would end. A lawyer’s career
would end tomorrow were there no more
litigation. A  doctor’s career would end
tomorrow were there no more illness. A
philosopher’s  career would end tomorrow
were there no more questions.  And God’s career would end tomorrow
were there no more problems!
Precisely. You have put it perfectly. We, all
of us, would be through creating were  there
nothing more to create. We, all of us, have
a vested interest in keeping the  game
going. Much as we all say we would like to
solve all the problems, we dare not  solve
all the problems, or there will be nothing left
for us to do.
Your industrial -military complex
understand s this very well. That is why it
opposes  mightily any attempt to install a
war-no-more government —anywhere.
Your medical establishment understands
this, too. That is why it staunchly
opposes —it must, it has to for its own
survival —any new miracle drug or c ure—to say nothing of the possibility of miracles
themselves.
Your religious community also holds this
clarity. That is why it attacks uniformly any
definition of God which does not include
fear, judgment and retribution, and any
definition of Self which d oes not include
their own idea of the only path to God.
If I say to you, you are God —where does
that leave religion? If I say to you, you are
healed, where does that leave science, and
medicine? If I say to you, you shall live  in
peace, where does that lea ve the
peacemakers? If I say to you, the world is
fixed —where does that leave the world?
What, now, of plumbers?
The world is filled with essentially two kinds
of people: those who give you things  you want, and those who fix things. In a sense,
even those who simply give you  things you
want —the butchers, the


, a finding consistent with the
reduced CH-7 alpha-hydroxylase activity, the rate-limiting enzyme of bile acid bio -
synthesis in the treated rat group.66 Although the exact mechanism for this action by
DMSO on cholesterol and bile production is unclear, it did not affect either micro -
somal cholesterol content or hepatic glutathione content.66
These actions by DMSO on toxic cytokines could be a major clue as to its action
as a pain reliever and powerful anti-inflammatory agent. In addition, the complex interactions of DMSO in prostaglandin biosynthesis and production have important implications in cerebral and cardiac physiology.
CARDIAC DISEASE
The human heart receives about 1/20th of cardiac output under basal conditions, and when this blood flow delivery is reduced or compromised, cardiac damage or death can occur.
Several intriguing studies have examined the effects of DMSO on experi -
mental myocardial infarction and cardiac hemodynamics. One early study
reported that DMSO provided significant protection of rat heart exposed to
 reoxygenation-induced cell injury.67 This model of anoxic injury to cardiac cells
involves perfusing the heart with an anoxic perfusate followed by reoxygenation
with an oxygen perfusate, a technique that induces a rapid release of oxygen–
creatine kinase (CK), causing reduced coronary flow and severe cardiac con-traction with the formation of contraction bands. Prior to reoxygenation, 10% DMSO was given by mixing it with the anoxic perfusate, an action that resulted in increased coronary flow rate, a marked reduction of the oxygen–CK release, and a significant decrease in the number of contraction bands from 43% in con -
trol hearts to 23% using DMSO.
67 This study indicated that DMSO has the poten -
tial to protect cardiac tissue from a hypoxic insult, an ability that could be useful in cardiac ischemia or heart failure.
One of the actions of DMSO in the ischemic myocardium is to aid in the diffusion
of oxygen into the thick myocardial tissue, thus aiding the myocyte protection from anoxia or ischemia.
68
The effects of DMSO infusion on a canine model of myocardial ischemia and
systemic hemodynamics were reported by Levett et al.69 Hourly measurements of
cardiac output, pulmonary wedge pressure, pulmonary artery pressure, heart rate, mean arterial pressure, cerebral blood flow, intracranial pressure, and blood gases were monitored before and after the ligation of the left descending coronary artery. After 15 min of coronary artery ligation, control saline or 500 mg/kg of a 50% DMSO solution was injected as an intravenous (IV) bolus.
69 By the third hour after
ligation, cardiac output increased significantly, and both systemic and cerebrovas -
cular resistances decreased in the DMSO-treated animals as compared to controls.
CBF also increased after DMSO but not in controls, and there were no significant
differences in heart rate, mean arterial pressure, pulmonary artery wedge pres -
sure, or cerebral or pulmonary resistances in the control as compared to the DMSO group.
69 This study concluded that DMSO infusion in a canine model of myocardial 25 DMSO in Basic Pharmacology
ischemia has protective activity and merits further evaluation by extending the time
course after infarction to a more realistic clinical setting.69
The study by Levett et al.69 recently received confirmation using a rat model of
acute myocardial infarction caused by left anterior descending coronary artery liga -
tion.70 Before myocardial infarction was induced, 500 µL/kg of DMSO was given
intraperitoneally daily for 3 days with the last dose given 15 min before ligation.70
After 90 min of occlusion, postmortem examination showed markedly less cardiac damage reflected by a reduction of mean necrotic volume in the infarcted left ven -
tricular wall area and by significantly lowered levels of the cardiac injury markers troponin I and myoglobin, as compared to controls. The mechanism by DMSO in protecting cardiac tissue from ischemic injury remains unsettled but appears to be similar to its protection of focal ischemic brain tissue following occlusion of the middle cerebral artery in rats.
71
A review of the experimental cardiac effects of DMSO may provide some clues.72
For example, DMSO can produce either positive or negative inotropic effects on car -
diac tissue depending on the dose used and animal species and specific cardiac tissue studied.
73 Myocardial tissue preparations using 70 mM DMSO concentration or less
will increase positive inotropic contractile response, while using more than 70 mM concentration, the inotropic effect will be species dependent.
74 Moreover, none of the
contractile effects of DMSO is antagonized by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors or by blocking other classical myocardial receptors at doses that do not intrinsi -
cally alter cardiac contractility.
75 In isolated atrial preparations, DMSO decreases
contractile rate without appreciably altering cardiac rhythm. However, when the DMSO concentration is above 140 mM, a concentration not likely to be used in vivo,
both rate and rhythm are decreased possibly by DMSO’s effect on acetylcholinergic response to slow down conduction via the atrioventricular node.
74 However, these
effects on the myocardium are reversible when DMSO exposure stops.
A reduction of systemic vascular resistance and an increase in cardiac output
were found after slow DMSO infusion at a dose of 2 g/kg 50% solution in canine myocardium.
76 These values were temporary and returned to normal 10 min after
DMSO infusion had been completed although cardiac output remained high for sev -
eral hours when compared to saline control infusions.76 These findings were consid-
ered to result from a possible transient expansion of plasma volume that increased cardiac preload and cardiac output and could be relevant in treating hypovolemic patients with clinical brain injury or cardiac ischemia.
76
The case for using DMSO as a primary agent in the clinical treatment of myo -
cardial infarction and coronary artery ischemia or hypoxia can be argued by not -
ing some of the specific properties reported for this drug. These cardiac conditions diminish blood flow to the heart either by coronary vessel narrowing due to platelet aggregation on vessel walls or by atherosclerotic epicardial plaque-related stenosis. Present treatments for these conditions include coronary vasodilators such as rano -
lazine and nitrate preparations, platelet deaggregators such as aspirin or clopidogrel
bisulfate, coronary artery balloon angioplasty or stenting, and coronary artery bypass
surgery. Other pharmacological treatments such as calcium channel blockers, beta blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, cholesterol-lowering drugs, and angiotensin receptor blockers may be useful in long-term therapy, but they do not 26 Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease
reverse coronary artery ischemia or myocardial infarction acutely. DMSO addresses
an important aspect related to the pathology seen in coronary artery ischemia.
First, DMSO, as we have reviewed earlier, is a powerful platelet deaggregator.
A report by Pace et al.77 showed that when DMSO was used as a solubilizing agent
to test the potential of cardiac anti-aggregatory drugs in experimental coronary artery stenosis, it was discovered that the active agent was DMSO, not the drugs that were tested. When used alone, DMSO was observed to reverse the reduction of coronary blood flow induced by a critical stenosis on the canine circumflex coronary artery without changing other hemodynamic measures in the animals tested.
77 These findings suggested that DMSO acted a platelet deaggregator in
reversing the coronary artery stenosis that allowed platelet aggregation and low -
ered coronary blood flow. The findings by Pace et al.77 were confirmed by Dujovny
et  al.,78 who reported scanning electron microscopic examination of rat carotid
artery–induced occlusion induced by arteriotomy and suture closure where the formation of heavy platelet deposits, fibrin, and red blood cell clumps at the arteri -
otomy site collected. The administration of DMSO 2 g/kg slowly infused intrave -
nously resulted in minimal signs of fibrin clumping and platelet deposition at the carotid artery suture line.
78 The platelets appeared spherical with no pseudopod
formation, while the adjacent endothelium appeared intact in contrast to control non-DMSO-treated animals who showed heavy platelet deposits and fibrin and erythrocyte clumping.
78
We have discussed the antiplatelet action of DMSO from the studies of
Panganamala et al.,48 who showed that DMSO inhibited arachidonic-acid-induced
platelet aggregation possibly by inhibiting prostaglandin biosynthesis, particularly PGE
2. Holtz and Davis79 and Harrison et al.80 have suggested that DMSO is a sulf -
hydryl inhibitor and that this action prevents platelet-to-platelet bonding, whereas Wieser et al.
81 showed that DMSO could increase cyclic AMP by inhibiting phos -
phodiesterase in a non platelet system (Figure 2.2). DMSO was found to inhibit the cardiac hypertrophy, anemia, and depression in a model of copper deficiency of the heart. This


 cancer therapy. “[In] the first part of March 1978 a group of
doctors from New York City called and wanted Dr. Tucker to come and bring his
medicine and show them how to use it,” said J.B. Floyd. “Dr. Tucker called me
and asked if I would accompany him and tell my story.”
Floyd agreed to go anywhere, anytime to bring information about the treatment
that saved his life to the medical community. Before leaving for the Houston
airport, Tucker received another telephone call from K.C. Pani, M.D., of the
Division of Anti-Infective Drug Products, Bureau of Drugs, Food and Drug
Administration, Department of Health and Human Services, Rockville, Maryland,
to please come by the FDA on the way to New York and bring him up to date.
Tucker had numerous records of cures, X-ray films, and slides to show.
Doctor and patient flew to Rockville where Tucker presented his case
histories. When they came to Floyd’s record, Dr. Pani asked, “How long did this
one last, three months?”
Tucker replied, “He is sitting down in the lobby.”
Pani said, “I want to see this dead man.”
They sought out Mr. Floyd, and he told his story. Then the FDA official,
visibly impressed, said he would be in touch with Tucker soon. He also mentioned
that he was in contact with Dr. Stanley Jacob of Oregon and that he was
monitoring the use of DMSO. About one week later the drug was approved for the
treatment of interstitial cystitis. Nothing further was done to follow up its use in
cancer, except that Tucker received a request from the FDA for “more research.”
Dr. Jacob also is acquainted with Tucker’s work. In fact, he telephoned
Tucker a few days before the Mike Wallace
60 Minutes
 show on CBS-TV to
check out progress on the cancer treatment. Jacob plays down the DMSO-cancer
connection, because he has enough trouble getting the substance recognized for all
of its other special uses. He doesn’t want to have to fight off the label of “cancer
quackery” as well.
DMSO-HEMATOXYLON ACTION ON ANIMALS
By age seventy-eight, Eli Jordon Tucker, Jr., M.D., had done over 1,000
bone
fusions for arthritic backs, ankles, and other joints as an orthopedic surgeon
practicing for fifty-two years in Houston. Dr. Tucker’s true love was medical
research, however, and one of his major discoveries was the technique for graftingbone from one animal species to another. The drug company, E.R. Squibb and
Sons of Princeton, New Jersey, purchased the patent rights to his discovery and
spent half-a-million dollars developing the method about twenty years ago. Dr.
Tucker also perfected an oral treatment with vital bone substances for the
correction of bone degenerative conditions. For half a century, he was a respected
Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, a member of the Orthopedic Board
of the International College of Surgeons, an honorary life member of the American
Medical Association, and he was one of the few orthopedists in the State of Texas
to be presented with the “Award of Merit” by the American Medical Association
for his research work on bone.
Dr. Tucker performed his bone grafting experiments with calf bones that he
acquired from a nearby slaughterhouse, the Houston Meat Packing Company.
While purchasing specimens, he noticed the butchers were accepting for slaughter
white-faced cattle that were eaten up with cancer of the face. In many cases, eye
cancer spreading down the animal’s muzzle was disintegrating the entire face. Even
so, the meat inspectors and veterinarians passed these cattle for human
consumption provided there was no cancer metastasis to the animal’s internal
organs.
It occurred to Tucker in 1962 that there might be such a thing as cancer
antibodies. Currently scientists are seeking the same thing through studying
interferon, the much-publicized antivirus substance. Aside from his research on
developing a bone paste for grafting purposes, Dr. Tucker inaugurated an
additional project. He did some laboratory work on the blood of cancerous cows,
looking for cancer antibodies. His procedure entailed bleeding the animals after
they were slaughtered and making gamma globulin from the blood. Then, he
injected the gamma globulin into cancer-ridden rats and mice. The substance
seemed to retard some of the rodent tumors, specifically the adenocarcinomas and
others involving granulomatosis (a condition marked by tumors of the pink tissue
that is formed during wound healing) such as lymphosarcoma (lymphoma). It did
not affect fibrosarcoma, melanoma, and some other types.
He required a dye for marking the tumors in order to better see any growth
alterations. The dye had to stain the tumor sufficiently and at the same time he
gave the gamma globulin injection. Tucker was disappointed by most of the dyes
he tried. With methylene blue,
everything in the tissue field became overly
darkened. Picric acid colored all the tissues yellow. The red coloring safranine
stain had no effect on the tumor. But hematoxylon turned out to be the perfect dye
because it stained the cancer one color, the normal cells another color. It is amultiple-coloring stain.
Hematoxylon is a long-established dye, used by biologists for over 100 years
as a pathologic marker for animal cells, particularly because of its affinity for
nucleic acids. Hematoxylon’s formula, C
16
H
14
O

, has two loose hydrogen bonds
so that it oxidizes readily to a red substance known as hematein. This property of
rapid oxidation is often used as an indicator in chemistry for alkaloid titrations.
Thus, hematoxylon is a substance commonly employed by physical scientists.
It is also used in medicine as an astringent for the relief of diarrhea and for the
treatment of urinary infections, because the presence of the dye is rapidly excreted
in the urine. The human dose recommended in the past has been from 0.6 to 2
grams.
The one drawback for Tucker with adapting hematoxylon for staining tissue
was that it is a resin derived from the bark of the logwood tree. The resin is
insoluble in ordinary laboratory solvents such as alcohol and ether. The dye has a
special nucleus similar to the nucleic acids, the master molecules of life that
cannot be duplicated synthetically.
When DMSO came into use around 1963, Tucker found that getting the dye to
go into solution was no longer a problem. DMSO’s high solvent properties
combined with an amazing affinity for hematoxylon, dissolving almost its own
weight of the dye, made it an ideal substance for his purposes. Not only that,
DMSO did not alter the hematoxylon at all and carried the chemical directly into
the tumor. There was good dispersion; only the cancer cells were stained and
stood out under the microscope and in gross dissection.
To his amazement, Tucker discovered he could dissolve 25 grams of
hematoxylon powder into 62 cc of DMSO liquid, an exceedingly high
concentration. In a medical paper published in the January 16, 1968, issue of
International Surgery
, in collaboration with A. Carrizo, M.D., Director of the
National Cancer Control and Cancer Center for the Republic of Panama, Panama
City, he described how hematoxylon dissolved in DMSO was used in recurrent
neoplasms.
1
Drs. Tucker and Carrizo injected into dogs a solution of 25 grams of
hematoxylon dissolved in 75 cc of DMSO as a parenteral intravenous solution
with 5 percent dextrose in saline and normal saline to do an acute toxicity study.
They observed no abnormalities in the living animals over
a month’s time, and
autopsies showed no changes in the animals’ livers, kidneys, gastrointestinal tracts,
hearts, bone marrow, lungs, or brains. No dye was present in any of the sectioned
tissues. High doses of DMSO without hematoxylon that had been given into thejugular veins of healthy dogs did cause acute respiratory failure, shock, and death
in three of four dogs. The combination of the dye and the solvent proved to be
much less toxic than DMSO alone. Albino rats could tolerate four times the
amount of the combination hematoxylon solution than the DMSO alone.
Experimental animals with both induced and spontaneous tumors were treated
with the combination solution. The induced tumors included a methyl
cholantranine transplant tumor (fibrosarcoma) and adenocarcinoma of the breast
(Walker’s tumor) in albino rats. The fibrosarcoma regressed somewhat but not
entirely. The adenocarcinoma was not affected by the intravenous injection of
hematoxylon and DMSO until a small dose of androgen caused its rapid regression
in practically 100 percent of the rats.
Spontaneous tumors in dogs, horses, and cattle were treated with the DMSO-
hematoxylon solution. In some cases, Tucker performed the service out of a
feeling of pity for the suffering animal. For instance, William Daniel, former
Governor of Guam, one of Tucker’s friends, phoned and

 longstanding reputation as a detoxifying herb. Greater celandine’s sedative action does not, however, extend to the uterus—it causes the muscles of this organ to contract. The herb is applied externally to soothe and encourage the healing of skin conditions such as eczema. The yellow latex of greater celandine is applied to warts, ringworm, and malignant skin tumors, which are slowly broken down by the effect of its protein-dissolving enzymes.
 QCautions  Use only under professional

Chenopodium ambrosioides
(Chenopodiaceae)
Wormseed
Description  Annual herb growing to 3 ft (1 m)
with toothed lance-shaped leaves. Y ellow-green
flowers in round clusters bloom in summer, producing small black seeds in autumn.
Habitat & Cultivation  Wormseed is native
to Central and South America and the Caribbean. It has been extensively cultivated in Maryland, and in China.
Parts Used  Aerial parts, flowering tops.
Constituents  Wormseed contains a volatile
oil (up to 90% ascaridol, plus geraniol and methyl salicylate), and triterpenoid saponins. Ascaridol is  a powerful worm expellent.
History & Folklore  An herbal remedy that
has been used for centuries, wormseed was used
by the Maya in Central America to expel worms. In the eastern U.S., European settlers employed it for the treatment of worms, especially in children. The Catawba made a poultice from the plant,  which they used to detoxify snake bite and  other poisonings.
Medicinal Actions & Uses  Wormseed is
principally known for its ability to expel worms, especially roundworm and hookworm. It is also used in the Americas as a digestive remedy, the leaves being taken to settle colic and stomach pains. Wormseed’s muscle-relaxing action has led to its use in the treatment of spasmodic coughs and asthma. Externally, juice expressed from the whole herb is applied as a wash for hemorrhoids.
Related Species  Many species of Chenopodium

shrubby areas. The root is
unearthed in spring or autumn,
mostly in Virginia and North Carolina.
Parts Used  Root bark, bark.
Constituents  Contains saponins (including
chionanthin) and glycosides (including phyllirine).
History & Folklore  Fringe tree was
commonly used by Native Americans and
European settlers to treat inflammations of the
eye, canker sores, and spongy gums. The Choctaw
of Louisiana applied the mashed bark to cuts and
bruises. Native Americans in Alabama used the
bark as a treatment for toothache. In the 19th
century Anglo-American Physiomedicalist
tradition, fringe tree was valued as a bitter tonic,
and the bark was often used to aid recovery from
long-term illness.
Medicinal Actions & Uses  The root bark is
a liver tonic, stimulates bile flow, and acts as a mild
laxative. It is prescribed mainly for gallbladder pain,
gallstones, jaundice, and chronic weakness. While it
appears to be of benefit to liver and gallbladder
function, there is as yet no research to substantiate
its effects. The root bark also appears to strengthen
function in the pancreas and spleen. Anecdotal
evidence indicates that it may substantially reduce
sugar levels in the urine. Fringe tree also stimulates
the appetite and digestion and is an excellent
remedy for chronic illness, especially where the
liver has been affected. For external use, the
crushed bark may be made into a poultice for
treating sores and wounds.
Chondrodendron tomentosum
(Menispermaceae)
Pareira
Description Vine climbing to a great height in
tropical rainforests. Reaches 100 ft (30 m). Has
large leaves up to 1 ft (30 cm) long and trailing
clusters of flowers.Habitat & Cultivation  Pareira grows wild
in rainforests in the upper Amazon region and in
Panama. It is collected from the wild as available.
Parts Used  Root, stem.
Constituents  Pareira contains alkaloids,
including delta-tubocurarine and L-curarine.
Tubocurarine is a potent muscle relaxant.
History & Folklore  Pareira and similar species
are famous for being the source of curare,
the paralyzing arrow poison used by
Amazonian and other South
American Indians to catch their
prey. A dart or spear tipped with
curare causes instantaneous paralysis
on entering the bloodstream of the
animal. Traditional recipes for toxins
usually involve blending 10 or more different
plants, but pareira or a plant with similar action
is always present in the mix.
Medicinal Actions & Uses  Pareira’s notoriety
as a poison hinges on the effect of its toxic derivative
entering directly into the bloodstream. Provided
there are no cuts or sores in the mouth, the plant is
reasonably safe taken orally as a medicinal remedy.
The bitter and slightly sweet-tasting roots and stems
are mildly laxative, tonic, and diuretic, and also act
to induce menstruation. The plant is chiefly used to
relieve chronic inflammation of the urinary tubules.
In Brazil, it is also used for snake bite.
Research  Pareira’s powerful ability to paralyze
has led to its being extensively researched.
Tubocurarine–one of the many alkaloids within
the plant–is now used (as tubocurarine chloride)
as an anesthetic to paralyze the muscles
during operations.
Related Species  At least four other closely
related species of Chondrodendron  are used to
produce the traditional poison known as curare.
 RCautions  Use only under professional
supervision. Pareira and/or curare are subject
to legal restrictions in some countries.amino acids, iodine, and bromine, plus many other
minerals. The polysaccharides become jelly-like and
demulcent when the plant is immersed in water.
History & Folklore  Irish moss is used
extensively in the food and pharmaceutical
industries as an emulsifying and binding agent,
for example in toothpastes.
Medicinal Actions & Uses  A useful
demulcent and emollient, Irish moss is mainly
taken for coughs and bronchitis. Its expectorant
effect encourages the coughing up of phlegm, and
it soothes dry and irritated mucous membranes. It
is of value for acid indigestion, gastritis, and urinary
infections such as cystitis. For these conditions it is
normally combined with other appropriate herbs.
Mucilaginous in texture and slightly salty in taste,
Irish moss makes a valuable nutrient in

. Thus it is not used
only to lose weight. It can be and certainly is equally important as a part of the function of
maintaining or even restoring good health.
The sick or wounded animal finds a secluded spot where he can keep warm, where he is
protected from the weather, where he can have peace and quiet and be undisturbed. There he rests
and fasts. He may, for example, have lost a limb, but he lies there in his privacy and generally
recovers without drugs, without bandages or surgery.
19In the animal world fasting is a tremendously important factor of existence. Animals fast not
only when sick or wounded but also during hibernation or aestivation (sleeping throughout the
summer in tropical climates).
Some animals fast during the mating season and in many cases during the nursing period. Some
birds fast while their eggs are being hatched. Some animals fast immediately after birth. There are
forms of spiders who do not eat for six months after they are born. Some wild creatures fast when
taken into captivity, and a domestic pet, a dog, or a cat, may not eat for several days when it comes
into a new environment. Animals also survive forced fasts during periods of drought, snow, cold,
and live for long periods when no food is available.
In mankind fasting has been practised in various parts of the world over centuries for religious
reasons, for self-discipline, for political purposes and as a means of restoring health. Only in
recent centuries has the concept that we must eat to keep up our strength become a deeply
entrenched idea. Dr. Felix Oswald, a Dutch physician who came to America before the turn of the
century, declares: “The fast cure method is not limited to our dumb fellow creatures. It is a
common experience that pain, fever, gastric congestion and even mental afflictions take away the
appetite and only unwise nurses will try to thwart the purposes of Nature in this respect.”
Fasting is centuries old; we read of it in the Bible and in Homer. It was employed in the care of
the sick in ancient temples in Egypt, Greece and throughout the Mediterranean
 world. The use of
the fast in acute disease dates back to remote times.
It was prescribed by Arabian physicians during the long dark night of Europe’s Medieval Age.
In Italy, Neapolitan physicians as long ago as one hundred and fifty years, employed fasts that
sometimes lasted for forty days in the case of fever patients.
This writer has been engaged in conducting fasts since the summer of 1920. In this period of
approximately forty-five years, I have conducted thousands of fasts ranging from a few days
duration to ninety days, both for weight reduction and in connection with helping the body recover
from physical impairment.
One particular case of an elderly man is of special interest because the results were so
successful.
Mr. A.B. was seventy years of age and had been sick a large part of those years. For thirteen
years he had suffered with bronchial asthma and during this time he had been hospitalized five
times. For an even longer time he had suffered with sinus trouble. For six years he had been
completely deaf in his left ear, while he had suffered with an enlarged prostate gland for more than
six years and had been impotent for a few years. He wore glasses, was bald headed, and had the
usual “minor symptoms” that indicate the condition of his organism was not good, although it is
common to ignore these evidences of incipient disease.
Although he had been treated by the usual methods over the years, he had realized no genuine
benefits from this care. Like others who suffer as he did, he grew from bad to worse. It is generally
known that the regular care of asthmatics is purely palliative and that the patient commonly grows
progressively worse with the passage of time. It is equally well known that the regular modes of
care fail to do more than provide doubtful temporary relief for the sufferer with sinus disease. It
seems hardly necessary to add that nothing of real value is done for deafness and for enlargement
of the prostate gland. All of these conditions are commonly understood to be
incurable
.
Leaving his hospital bed in Chicago, the fifth time he was hospitalized for asthma, Mr. A.B.
went directly to the airport and boarded a plane going south and went to a place that was reputed
to be very successful in its care of asthma sufferers. Still wheezing, he was uncertain that he could
20make the trip, but had determined to try. His own statement was that he had suffered enough and
that he was convinced that the regular methods of care offered him no real promise of health. Like
many thousands of other asthmatics, he had given the regular plans of care every opportunity to
free him effectively of his suffering and they had failed him.
Arriving at the institution in the southwest, he was admitted and told that he would have to
discontinue at once and thereafter all drugs that he had been using for relief
. “But,” he asked,
“what shall I do if I have an attack of asthma?”
“You will grit your teeth and clench your fists and suffer through it,” was the reply. “You cannot
get well if you continue to use drugs.”
He was sent to bed and instructed to remain there and take nothing into his mouth but water until
he was told that he could resume eating. The treatment is going to be worse than the disease, he
thought. Could he go without food? He was weak from years of suffering and from a lengthy period
during which he was unable to secure enough oxygen. He was assured that he would be carefully
watched and that no harm would befall him.
With a certain amount of trepidation he entered upon what was to be a new and surprisingly
pleasant experience. Fasting is not always a pleasant experience, but it can be a very interesting
and even highly pleasurable experience. The freedom and ease that one experiences during a
period of abstinence from food often enables one to discover new and previously undreamed-of
depths of meaning to life.
About four o’clock in the morning of his first night of fasting, Mr. A.B. developed a severe
paroxysm of asthma. He was unable to breathe while lying in bed, so he sat up on the side of the
bed and rang for assistance. The doctor came and after observing and examining him, said: “You’ll
be all right in a brief time. It will take about twenty-four hours for you to become free of asthmatic
symptoms, and then you’ll be comfortable.”
When the doctor left, Mr. A.B. was struggling for air. “What kind of a place have I come to,”
Mr. A.B. asked the man in the next bed. “They won’t even do anything to relieve me of my attack.”
He continued to struggle for air for a few more minutes, then relief came and he fell asleep.
When the doctor saw him again in the morning, Mr. A.B. was feeling so well that he was ready
to forgive the seeming neglect of the latter part of the night. He was more than overjoyed when he
went on day after day breathing as easily as when he was a small boy, with not the slightest sign of
asthma. He had not another single paroxysm of asthma so long as he remained at the institution. His
sinuses were still draining and the fast was continued. After about six days without food, he was
able to void urine as freely as a boy. His prostate gland had shrunken to nearly normal size.
He continued to fast and watched a day by day disappearance of symptoms, until his sinuses
cleared up, his breathing was a pleasure and his chest was a source of real joy. On the twenty-fifth
day of the fast, he asked the doctor if he could not break the fast. He was informed that this would
be premature, that he was not fully recovered and that it would be wise to continue. “You are not
in jail,” said the doctor. “You cannot be made to fast against your will. But, if you want my best
advice you will continue for a while.”
He took the doctor’s advice and went ahead with the fast. What will always seem to him as a
miracle was the
 fact that on the thirty-sixth day of the fast, he regained his hearing in his deaf ear.
His hearing was so good that he could easily hear the low ticking of a small watch when held at
arm’s length from his ear. Equally important is the fact that the recovery of hearing was permanent.
The fast was continued through the forty-second day and then feeding was resumed.
But he had another surprise in store for him. He discovered, upon his return home, a few weeks
21after the fast was broken, that he was no longer impotent. As restoration of potency in men and
overcoming of frigidity in women are not uncommon results of the fast, this was no surprise to the
head of the institution.
This is no fanciful case, but an actual account of the recovery of a man who had suffered as I
have described and who underwent the fast, as I have here portrayed it, and who made the
recovery that has been pictured. It was not an unusual case, except in the variety of conditions that
he suffered with, unless we say that the recovery of hearing is not a rule when the deaf undergo a
fast. It is only an occasional result of fasting. This is so because deafness, like loss of vision, may
be due to a variety of abnormal conditions of the ear, and not all of them are remediable. Blindness
