by W alter Last
The present emphasis in cancer therapy is to destroy tumours, and all research focuses on ﬁnding new ways for doing this. However,
there is little factual evidence that this approach actually works and beneﬁts patients, while there is mounting evidence that it is
exactly this approach that makes cancer so dangerous. In my more than 30 years of working with cancer patients I started out with
this common perception of seeing tumours as the enemy that should be destroyed but gradually, based on experience and new
independent research, my views changed.
I now regard cancer cells and tumours as generally harmless, and the common therapies as the main cause of cancer deaths. I
believe with the right strategy no one needs to die of cancer. Here I want to give a short overview of a proposed change in cancer
therapy.
For more than 100 years there is increasing evidence for a microbial cause of cancer. I have written about this in my
article  Pleomorphic  Microbes  - The Hidden Cause of Cancer and Autoimmune Diseases  (1). My present understanding of the
development of cancer is as follows.
Cancer may start with a primary infection which becomes chronic in a stressed or congested part of the body or, according
to Reich  (2), microbial activity may arise spontaneously from the disintegration of unhealthy tissue. The body limits the infestation by
encapsulating it, or alternatively we may regard tumour formation as a bioﬁlm which microbes use to protect themselves from the
immune system. This is similar to trees forming bark tumours when stung by certain wasps. As long as the blood is reasonably clean,
a tumour is just a tumour, not malignant and not a cancer.
However, if the immune system is under constant attack as from intestinal  dysbiosis, Candida, toxins invading the blood due to Leaky
Gut Syndrome, stressful events such as emotional trauma, or subconscious fear and shock due to a cancer diagnosis, then the blood
becomes infested with dangerous (pleomorphic) microbes. Now also any more or less dormant microbes inside the tumour become
active. Cancer-causing microbes produce metabolites that block the oxidative energy production of affected cells. Seeger
and Budwig  showed that there is a blockage of the cytochromesystem. In addition there may be a blockage of the citric acid cycle by
fungal  tartaric acid  (3) which compe tes with  malic  acid. Cancer microbe s also produce growth hormones which cause the tumour to
expand.
In any case,  pleomorphic  microbes increasingly block the oxidative energy production of affected cells and they start producing
energy  anaerobically  similar to fungi. Also tumour cells begin to look like fungal cells.   Now the tumour is malignant but still contained.
This situation may persist for years with the tumour slowly growing, shrinking, or becoming dormant for long periods, depending on
the vitality of the body, the strength of the immune system, and especially the acid-alkaline balance or pH of the lymphatic system.
The more the oxidative energy production of tumours is blocked the more lactic acid is produced, the more malignant they are, and
the faster they grow and metastasise. However, and this is of vital importance, tumours cannot grow in an alkaline environment.
Cancer cells look, behave, metabolise and spread just like fungi. We can see this in comparison to Candida. Normally it is just a
harmless and possibly even beneﬁcial intestinal yeast, but when it comes under existential pressure it transforms into a dangerous
and invasive fungal form. It is the same with cancer cells. When tumours come under increasing pressure from a worsening microbial
presence or from aggressive medical treatment then they become locally invasive and also tend to form distant metastases.
The trend in modern medicine is to remove even very small tumours. This causes already present dormant micro-metastases to
spring into life years earlier than they would otherwise have done, leading to an earlier death  (4), especially in younger individuals
with strong inﬂammatory reactions. Whether conventional tumour treatment leads to metastasis does not depend on the size of the
tumour or its conventionally assigned stage or malignancy but rather on the microbial condition of the blood and especially the
lymphatic pH (acidity). If conventional treatment is successful in the long-term this means that the tumour was harmless anyway in
regard to microbial presence.
However, even metastases do not normally kill. Tumours only rarely kill directly by pressing on vital structures, instead more
commonly indirectly if they are attacked by tumour-destroying treatment or by an improved immune system and release large
amounts of toxins. This then causes death due to massive inﬂammations and infections often resulting in death from lung infections,
heart or liver failure. It does not matter if conventional or natural therapies have been used to cause these inﬂammations. Most cancer
patients with metastases who survive the initial treatments die years later from  cachexia  - severe weight-loss and muscle wasting due
to progressive anaemia from the destruction of erythrocytes or red blood cells by fungal-type blood microbes.
From this we see that there are three possible ways of dying from cancer:
•  Rarely a tumour becomes too large and obstructs vital organ functions
•  Immune attacks and toxins released by a disintegrating tumour cause massive inﬂammations
•  Most erythrocytes are disabled by blood microbes and unable to supply oxygen

https://health-science-spirit.com/Diseases/Cancer/Cancer-Therapy-A-New-Direction.html 1/4If we can prevent these three events then there will be no deaths from cancer. A recent study shows the general principle how this
can be done, even in a conventional setting with chemotherapy. This is based on the idea not to destroy the tumour but just give
enough chemotherapy to keep it from growing any further. The  researcher  (5) stated: "With a mouse ovarian cancer model, if you
treat it with a very high dose, the tumour goes away. It looks like you’ve cured it. But a couple weeks later it comes back and starts
killing animals. This is a standard outcome. What we did is use smaller doses of drugs and applied them when necessary. We were
able to keep tumours stable and mice alive indeﬁnitely."
Instead of using chemotherapy, alkalizing is the method of choice in natural medicine to stabilize a tumour and keep it from growing
any further. For a tumour to spread it needs to dissolve the surrounding connective tissue but that can happen only if the tissue is
sufﬁciently acidic to activate the proteolytic  enzymes of the tumour. A 2009 study  (6) shows that oral sodium bicarbonate  not only
inhibits the growth of tumours and the formation of spontaneous metastases in mouse models of metastatic breast cancer, it also
reduces the rate of lymph node involvement and hepatic metastases.
These ﬁndings were conﬁrmed and surpassed in a January 2013  (7) study which shows in detail how oral bicarbonate not only stops
tumour growth but can also shrink tumours.  Bicarbonate alkalises the lymph ﬂuid and inhibits inﬂammation so that a gradually
shrinking tumour does not cause a problem  as long as alkalinity is maintained.
This study provides fascinating details about tumour growth as a function  of acidity. Measurements inside malignant tumours showed
an acidic pH of 6.5 – 6.9 compared to normal tissue with a pH of 7.2 - 7.4 (pH 7 is neutral). A tumour expanded into the surrounding
tissue only where the pH at the edge of the tumour was lower than 7.2. When one side of the tumour had a pH of 6.7 and the other
side 7.3, then the tumour would shrink at the side of the higher pH and expand into the tissue at the side with the lower  pH. Within a
few days tumours were actually visibly moving around according to the acid-alkaline balance of their environment.

 of medicine in all the universities of our
civilization. Smart doctors run away as fast as possible when you ask your first dietary
question, "what can I  eat doctor?" The ignorant and stupid ones of the medical
community are constantly dreaming up "fad diets" that flourish for a season but are
always soon replaced by a new fad diet.
GOLDEN RULES OF DIETARY FOOD INTAKE
A. Use small amounts of a variety of natural unprocessed organic foods:
1. Use two eggs daily.
2. Use heavy cream and pure butter freely.
3. Use foods that are unprocessed.
4. Rotate meats (after first six months on your program)
a) Day one -  three ounces of beef liver raw blended with fresh vegetable
juice;
b) Day two -  three ounces of steamed or roasted chicken;
c) Day three -  three ounces of fish; etc.
B. Use natural whole foods your body craves.

DIETARY RECOMMENDATIONS
Kelley Almond Diet
From the first printing of this book in 1967 we have called our diet the "Kelley
Almond Diet" because the principal protein is almond and vegetable protein.
Raw almonds are a very good source of protein and may be used as directed: 10
almonds at breakfast and 10 almonds at lunch.
A mixture of raw almonds, cashews, pecans, filberts, Brazil nuts, walnuts,
sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds is recommended to supplement
protein during the first six months when meat proteins are severely restricted. These
should be eaten any time up to 1:00 p.m.
Cashew nuts are desirable, especially if the patient is also suffering from
hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
Nuts, seeds, and grains should be stored in closed containers in a very cool
location. Refrigeration is best if one has the space.
Some enzyme researchers do not recommend the use of raw seeds or nuts,
claiming that the enzyme inhibitors in the seeds or nuts make proper digestion
difficult. This is true in one sense — if raw nuts and seeds were swallowed whole
without masticating them, a person couldn't digest them properly. But if nuts and
seeds are chewed well or soaked overnight distilled or filtered water, the activity of
enzyme inhibitors is greatly reduced or nullified.
Should you have difficulty chewing whole raw almonds, you may substitute two
tablespoons of pure raw almond or sesame seed butter.
Phase I
Protein
We have maintained throughout this treatise that cancer is nothing more than a
pancreatic enzyme deficiency. The greatest cause of this deficiency is the amount of
cooked protein (mutated amino acids) fed into the body. The pancreas simply cannot
manufacture enough enzymes to digest the large volumes of pasteurized milk and
cheese and cooked meat we eat and have any enzymes left over to digest the foreign
protein we know as cancer. If people would not eat protein (animal) after 1:00 p.m.,
62
Winning The Cancer War
(or eat the animal proteins within a 4-6 hour period) 86% of cancer in the United
States could be eliminated.
However, a cancer patient should never give up all protein, as they might be
tempted to do when they first learn that too much protein in the diet prevents the
pancreas from ridding the body of cancer. The pancreatic enzymes themselves
consist of protein (amino acids), and unless the body is fed adequate protein, the
pancreatic enzyme production w ill stop and the cancer tissue will make a very rapid
growth. The total withdrawal from protein has been the fallacy of many cancer diets,
such as the "Grape Cure." This is also the reason these diets have worked so well for
the first few months — no protein — thus freeing the pancreatic enzymes to digest the
cancer. Yet, over prolonged periods of total abstinence from protein, the pancreas
fails. Proper balance and regulated intake is the answer.
Protein Timing
It is not only imperative that the correct kind and quantity of protein be eaten, but
of equal importance, it must be taken at a specific time. We have found that regular
proteins should be taken at breakfast and lunch only. When this is strictly observed
the pancreatic enzymes, used in digestion of protein, are used only about 6 hours.
This leaves 18 hours for production of pancreatic enzymes to digest cancer tissue.
If the average cancer patient is carefully observed, it w ill be noted that they start
the day with protein — a glass of milk, ham and/or bacon and eggs, or milk with
cereal. By mid-morning they are ravenous and have a candy bar, peanuts, doughnuts
or sweet rolls with a soft drink or coffee. For lunch they normally have a roast beef
sandwich, or chicken fried in "trans-fatty acid" vegetable oil, or a hamburger. By mid
afternoon they are again hungry and have been attacked by low blood sugar, so they
perk themselves up with coffee or a soft drink. Dinner consists of a charbroiled steak,
or a piece of roast beef or other cooked meat with white flour gravy and cooked-to-
death vegetables. For dessert there is ice cream or pie a la mode with another glass of
milk. It is impossible for the pancreas to produce enough enzymes under these
conditions.
Eggs
Eggs are an unusually good source of protein, well balanced and the standard by
which all protein is evaluated. They have all the essential amino acids in proper
proportions. The cancer patient may have two eggs (preferably raw) each day at
anytime.
Proper preparation of eggs is of vital importance. The eggs must be heated in the
63
Winning The Cancer War
shell. We bring our eggs to a temperature of 140° F. to 160° F. (which is the normal
temperature of hot tap water), for five minutes before cracking them. This destroys an
enzyme just inside the membrane under the shell that prevents the biotin in the egg
from functioning normally. When biotin functions properly, it greatly reduces the
cholesterol risks of eating eggs.
After preheating before cracking them, the eggs may then be eaten, as you prefer
them. Raw and soft-boiled eggs are the most preferable, though it isn't absolutely
necessary to eat them in these forms. In keeping with the use of as much raw food as
possible, a good procedure is to eat the eggs raw in a blended drink of some kind,
flavored to suit one's taste.
There was a group of research doctors and dentists who, for at least a dozen years,
had eaten two eggs daily (properly prepared as above), as part of a well-balanced
nutritional program. Tests conducted on these people showed no increase in
cholesterol. In fact, there was a significant decrease in the blood serum cholesterol
level of each individual.
Misconceived beliefs of the orthodox medical world about eating cholesterol-
containing foods have caused countless people to be unduly alarmed about
cholesterol levels and the associated possibility of heart attacks. These
misconceptions, carried on from the early 1950's, have been proven false.
Liver
Liver is a wonderful energy food and cannot be surpassed as a blood builder. It is
especially crucial for leukemia and lymphoma patients, as their blood is unusually
weak. However, all cancer patients can benefit from the intake of raw liver before
noon each day. In the mid 1960s, when Dr. Kelley was told he was in the final stages
of pancreatic and liver cancer, he found that raw liver blended into carrot juice gave
him strength when everything else he ate made him feel ill.
Raw organic, antibiotic-free and hormone-free liver contains a multitude of live
enzymes, amino acids and other intrinsic factors that science has not yet identified,
which are destroyed when the liver is cooked. (References to "intrinsic" or
"unidentified" food factors are fairly common in nutritional literature. They result
from clinical reactions, which cannot be linked to known nutrients. Raw liver for
cancer patients is an excellent example of powerful therapeutic, but unexplained,
effects.) There are no supplements or drugs that can take the place of raw liver; none
are in any way comparable in their effects. Eating raw liver ensures thorough
digestion and the replacement of expended nutrients, promoting excellent health.
Raw liver is best if it is organic, antibiotic-free, hormone-free and not irradiated.
64
Winning The Cancer War
However, if this type of raw liver is unavailable, 3 to 6 TBS of fresh muscle meat,
steaks and ground, may be eaten, raw also, are acceptable even if you buy them at
regular markets. Organically grown and not irradiated is always more nutritious and
preferable. But if organic isn't available, commercial is healthier than none. At least 3
and no more than 6 heaping tablespoons of raw liver should be taken daily.
Chewing the liver is best for proper digestion. However, if masticating it is too
objectionable, it w ill digest well even swallowed whole, if it is sliced into small
enough cubes, and if adequate hydrochloric acid and enzymes are taken.
There are two methods which people find suitable for preparing liver:
1. The liver can be sliced about 1/4 inch thick x 3" long. One can then use
plastic sandwich bags, putting 3 to 6 tablespoons of frozen cubed liver in each
bag and storing them in the freezer for daily eating. This frozen liver may


ear is really consequent to the amount of unconscious
guilt. It is as though the vulnerable person is attracted
by fear, and when they hear of an illness, they become
mentally programmed enough to make it happen in
their lives.
Health requires the willingness to adopt mental
attitudes that are positive and constructive and to let
go of the negative ones. The willingness to take an
easygoing and forgiving attitude towards life is also
beneficial, along with the unwillingness to buy into
negative programming. It takes the willingness to own
thepowerofthemind.We give ourpowerawaywhen
we go into denial and blame an illness on something
'out there'.
The energy fields below level 200 potentiate
becoming a victim. Below 200, people have given their
power away and placed it on something outside them
selves.At the lower levels, people have told themselves
unconsciously that the source of their happiness and
survival arises from something outside themselves.
When people move up into the levels of truth
above 200, the energy fields are now positive, and we
can see that they are re-owning their power.They now
say, "I, and I alone, have the power to create happiness
and opportunity in my life. It is coming from within HEALTH 121
me." They also own that health is something which
comes from within and no longer believe they are the
helpless victims of disease.
In reality, we are not the victims of viruses, acci
dents,cholesterol, orimbalanced uric acidlevels.When
we re-own our own power, we say, "It's my mind that
has been creating that. My mind believes that eating
liver and kidneys is going to give me a high uric acid
level that is going to give me gout. My mind is so pow
erful that if I believe such a thing to be true, it will
make it happen." It takes a high level of awareness to
accept that the mind has that much power. "Do you
mean to tell me that if I believe that eating sugar and
sweets is going to give me hypoglycemia, it will?"Yes,
indeed, it will.
In going back to the physics involved, it is helpful
to remember that the body's energy field of 200 is
weak compared to the belief systems of the 400s.The
beliefs that sugar and sweets will cause hypoglycemia,
diabetes, or being overweight are sufficient to bring it
about. The explanations then given are denials of the
truth and rationalizations to justify being a victim.
When we say that it is scientifically proven, it is still just
an explanation. The real science of it is the mechanism.
The description of the mechanism of how this occurs
on the physical plane is still only a description of the
mechanism, not of cause.
Cause is on the level of mind; effect is on the level
of body, not the other way around. Merely reversing
that understanding provides the whole key to health
and healing. Health then comes out of a positive men
tal attitude, which we have heard many times, so much 122 HEALING AND RECOVERY
so that many people are annoyed by it because it
implies that if they have a sickness, they do not have a
positive mental attitude.
What is meant by mental attitude and the part that
it plays in health and freedom from sickness and suffer
ing? Primary in the unhealthy person is unconscious
guilt. The cure for that is the willingness to be forgiv
ing, even to the point of taking a course in forgiveness,
ifnecessary, such as A Course in Miracles, or participat
ing in Twelve-Step recovery groups, which are specifi
cally designed to enable one to train the mind to let go
of the tendency to criticize, attack, and judge others.
These are replaced by the willingness to let go of judg
mentalism. Since the mechanism is unconscious, the
person may not see that when the mind is being criti
cal and judgmental of others, it is also critical and judg
mental of one's own self.
Unconscious guilt contributes to the negative energy
that expresses itself adversely through the autonomic
nervous system and the acupuncture energy system.
However, simultaneously, there is the power of refusal,
the power to deny the belief system.To own back one's
power requires realizing that it is the mind itself that is
the cause of the illness.This truth requires the willing
ness to give up the position of victim and to re-own
one's own power, which is necessary for health and
contributes to overall spiritual growth and develop
ment. The only requirements are the motivation to
move out of the negative energy patterns and the will
ingness to face the truth about ourselves and choose to
move into a positive energy field. This can actually be
done rather rapidly. HEALTH 123
The key is the willingness to look at it and say,
"Well, I don't really believe this, but it is said that my
mind has the power to create an illness within my
body, so I'm willing to look at that because I have an
open mind." As we open our mind and are willing to
agree, our intention aligns and we begin to move into
accepting what we discover. We begin to find that mov
ing into lovingness has a curative and healing effect.
How is that accomplished? The willingness to forgive
can move us into the willingness to be compassionate.
Having compassion means the willingness to see the
innocence within all things, which coincides with the
willingness to forgive. Out of compassion and intention
arise the power and capacity to really see into the
hearts of others and discover the innocence of the
child.
Within each and everyone is that intrinsic inno
cence that never dies, no matter how long we live; it is
intrinsic to the nature of consciousness itself.The inno
cence of the child is what bought the mistake or the
negative program in the fIrst place. It is helpful to be
aware that the intrinsic innocence of the child is still
present in everyone. It is the,innocence that watches
televisi9n and naIvely buys into the negative program
ming due to its lack of discernment. The innocence of
the child has no warning within it, nothing that says,
"This is a world that is out to program you with as
much negativity as you are willing to buy." In fact, that
world gets well paid to do so because advertising is
often based on appealing to the negative energy fields.
All of our fears, desires, and pridefulness are represented
below the level of 200. It takes the willingness to be 124 HEALING AND RECOVERY
aware that within us is our innocence, and that that
innocence needs to be protected.
When we look at'self-care', which is the capacity
to love one's self, we fmd it now means taking respon
sibility to protect ourselves from the consequences of
that innocence and the willingness to·undo mistakes
that the mind picked up as a result.We can then han
dle looking at ourselves and healing that which we
find within us ifwe accept the awareness ofthe intrin
sic innocence of our consciousness. We see that it was
the innocence that was programmed. We then take
responsibility for that and say, "In my innocence, I
bought all that; I didn't know any better. I thought that
the right thing to do was to be judgmental, to con
demn people, and to judge them as right or wrong.
Now I see that all that has made me sick, so I'm going
to let it go."The people who were willing to look into
this and go through the processes already described
had complete, full recoveries from their illnesses.
The capacity to be forgiving is within us, along with
the capacity for compassion. Out of it comes a general
attitude about the way in which we look at ourselves.
From our bigness, from our greatness, we look at our
humanness through forgiving eyes and begin to forgive
ourselves as well as others for all the things that were
limitations and denials of the truth.AlI the things in the
energy fields below 200 are denials of the truth; all
those above 200 are the acceptance of that which is
true and positive. Because the body reflects what the
mind believes, and the mind reflects our spiritual posi
tion, spirit has the greatest power of all.Therefore, our
spiritual position literally determines whether we have HEALTH 125
a healthy physical body or not.
Once we are willing to accept the power of mind,
we have to be attentive, persevering, and not let mind
get away with expressing negativity. We have to stop it
as soon as we become aware of it.We begin to develop
an awareness of negativity and recognize it for what it
is.We letgooffalse humility andstartquestioning such
remarks as,"Well,youknow,I'mnotverybright,"or"My
handwriting is poor," or "I gain weight eating the same
amount of food that thin people eat." The minute we
become aware of ourselves saying or thinking these
limiting, self-defeating, self-attacking thoughts, we have
to stop and cancel them.


 the oil, on castor oil days it is wise to
stay close to the bathroom. Others find the taste and weak smell of the oil off-putting. This can
be mitigated by eating a small piece of fruit before taking the oil, or having half an orange handy
and sucking it immediately afterwards. Some patients simply add the oil to the cup of coffee,
then use a straw or a glass tube, inserted into the oil, to get it into the back of the mouth, followed
immediately by the coffee to chase it down.
This is the only occasion in the Gerson program when patients are made to drink  coffee. It
is done in order to activate the stomach muscles and move the oil out as fast as possible, so that
the patient is not nauseated for hours while the oil remains in his or her stomach, but is able to
enjoy breakfast and the juices that follow. A few patients have tried to substitute peppermint or
some other herb tea for the coffee, but undoubtedly coffee works best and should be taken, even
by those who don’t normally drink it.
Cleaning the Equipment
Like all other tools of the Gerson program, the enema bucket has to be kept clean. But since
the anus, rectum and colon are  not sterile, the equipment need not be sterilized. After each use the
bucket has to be rinsed with hot soapy water, running it through the tube as well, and then rinsed
again thoroughly to remove the soap. Two or three times a week it is wise to put a cup of 3%
hydrogen peroxide (from the supermarket or drug store) into the bucket with the clamp closed,
and let it stand overnight to kill any germs or impurities. Rinse it out before the first use in the
morning.
CAUTION: If you keep the plastic tube attached to the bucket, it will eventually become
loose and even slip off, treating you to an unwanted coffee shower. Check the fit frequently and if
necessary, cut an inch or so from the loosened end of the tube and replace the tight part. You can
prevent accidents by removing the plastic tube every time before running hot water through the
bucket, so that it shrinks back to its original size and remains tightly in position.
The bucket reserved for the castor oil treatment is also cleaned as above, but with generous
use of hot soapy water, in order to get rid of any oily residues. Wipe the inside of the bucket with
a piece of absorbent paper to finish the cleaning.Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007.  All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.comPossible Problems
Many patients learn the enema routine without difficulty and get to enjoy the feeling of
lightness and added energy yielded by the practice. Others, however, experience difficulties,
which need to be eliminated. In the following we list some of the problems that may arise.
Patients may arrive at the hospital with a massive accumulation of stools in their colon, caused
by the use of heavy pain-killing drugs, including morphine. These tend to paralyze peristalsis (the
alternate contraction and relaxation of the intestine, by which the contents are propelled onward),
causing severe constipation. As a result, these patients are unable to take in a quart (32 ounces) of
the coffee solution, let alone hold it in. The answer for them is to take whatever amount they can
comfortably accommodate, stop, and hold this as long as possible, even if only for a few minutes;
then release, and take the remaining coffee solution. Again, hold it and release after 12-15
minutes. As a rule, after two or three days, when the colon has been cleared of old accumulations,
the enemas can be taken and held without difficulty.
Some patients may suffer from gas retention, which stops the enema from getting into the
colon. When that happens, a small amount—say 6-10 ounces—of the coffee can be infused, after
which the bucket is lowered to the patient’s level, allowing the coffee to flow back into the bucket.
This often releases the gas, causing some ‘bubbling’ in the bucket. Next the bucket is raised again,
and after the clearing of the gas the enema can continue more easily.
The patient is supposed to take the enema lying on his/her right side, in order to help the
coffee solution to get into the transverse colon from the descending colon. But as a result of
surgery, arthritis or tumors, the right side may be too painful to lie on. In such a case the patient
has to lie on his/her back, with the legs pulled up, and proceed from that position.
If a patient suffers from severe irritation of the colon, a small portion of the coffee concentrate,
say  2-4 ounces, can be diluted with chamomile tea instead of water. The smaller amount of coffee
will still help to detoxify the liver, while the chamomile tea soothes the colon. There is no time
limit for the use of chamomile tea. In case of severe diarrhea, an enema of chamomile tea only is
used for gentle cleansing morning and evening
To prepare chamomile tea, put 1 ounce of the dried flower heads into a glass dish, add 1
pint of boiling water, cover the dish and stand it in a warm place, letting it infuse for 15 minutes.
Strain, cool and store it in a stoppered bottle for a maximum of three days. Increase amounts in the
above proportion, as required. Chamomile is one of the herbs most used in the Gerson Therapy,
both as an enema component and as an herbal drink.
Sometimes a patient has been doing enemas for the first few days of the treatment without
a problem, but suddenly he/she cannot get more than 8-12 ounces into the colon. This may be a
symptom of a healing reaction or flare-up, and the solution is to take what is possible, release it, Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007.  All rights reserved.

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


 enervation from fermentation and putrefaction (see Proper
Food Combinations,
Module 7.3
). Animals in the wild do not consume such
foods. If they did, it would make them sluggish and vulnerable as prey to
other more robust animals.
Health is energy and energy comes from life, not death. As you begin to
eat more “alive” foods you will know firsthand the effects that beans and
grains will have on your energy levels and your agility. We must look
beyond our limited, culturally-determined, nutritional ideas to see the vast
array of foods that nature supplies for us.
The seasons have a great impact upon us, especially in the northern
climates where more drastic weather changes are experienced. In summer,
being acidic, we need mostly alkaline foods. However, in the cold of winter,
which is alkaline, we tend to desire acid-type foods like beans and grains.
This is a natural process. However, these foods should always be kept to a
minimum. Remember, the healthier your glands are, the more the body will
naturally create its own internal heat regulation.
An example of this heat-regulating factor can be seen in the operation of
the thyroid gland. Since the thyroid gland regulates metabolism, your body’s
temperature can be greatly affected if these tissues are weak. Beans and
grains, even though warming in nature, in the long run can make the thyroid
weak. This can then have the opposite effect to warming, instead causing you
to be cold all the time, especially your extremities.
THE SOY MYTH

As with every aspect of life, one always needs to question and investigate the
truth behind the propaganda that fills the press concerning issues of nutrition
and health. If you learn the basics of health as set forth in this book you will
be better prepared to recognize fact from fiction. Use the facts and truths
presented here as your template.
Ask yourself and try to investigate who might benefit from whatever
information is being given. The current “soy fad” is one area that definitelydeserves your attention. To understand who might be behind what I consider
a horrendous and highly-calculated myth, let’s first examine some of the facts
about soy.
Properties of Raw Soy Beans
Acid-forming
Extremely high in phytic acid (blocks mineral absorption, especially zinc)
Full of enzyme inhibitors
Extremely hard to digest
85 percent genetically modified (also called Round-Up Ready Soy
Beans®) where the cell DNA and structure are combined with herbicides
and bacteria to create resistance to these factors for better yield
Full of excessive amounts of hemaglutin—a clot-causing compound
Allergy causing
Extremely high in levels of aluminum (very toxic to brain and nerve
tissue)
Facts about Cooked and Processed Soy Beans
Over 80 percent of the oils and fats used in the U.S.A. are from
processed soy beans
Over 80 percent of the margarine made in the U.S.A. comes from soy
beans
Soy beans, as most beans, have enzyme inhibitors and also are high in
phytic acid. They must be processed at high temperatures to break these
metabolism-blockers down.
The Basic Processes in Obtaining Soy Bean Oil and Soy Protein
1. COOKING
Heated to between 225°F and 250°F, which:
Destroys all nutrients
Bonds proteins to minerals
Bonds proteins to lipids and starches
Causes free-radical formation
Creates trans-fatty acids (which are hardening and obstructing as well as
mutagenic to DNA)
Encourages rancidity (toxic for the bacterial action needed)Is extremely acid-forming
Possibly promotes formation of acrylimides (carcinogenic compounds)
2. PRESSING
Cold pressed or solvent extraction involves:
Exposure to light and air causing free-radical formation through
oxidation
Rancidity, causing further breakdown (mostly stored in clear containers
allowing a continuation of this process)
Cold pressing only after cooking
Solvent extraction method that creates many toxic and carcinogenic
compounds, lysinea-line being a major carcinogen
Solvent extraction, which requires: alkalisoaps, hexane (petroleum
distiller), phosphoric acid and sodium hydroxide (the primary ingredient
in Drano)
3. HYDROGENATION
A process of heating the oil to over 400°F, forcing hydrogen gas (in the
presence of a metallic catalyst) through this oil for over five hours
Not only “super kills,” it literally renders a food substance “dead and
toxic”
As you can see from the short overview above, soy is not a food, but a
toxin, especially if it is cooked or processed. If it indeed has any estrogenic
properties this adds to its destructive
side effects, especially in 80 percent of
the females who are estrogen dominant.
Soy is not a health food, but an industry brain child from chemical, bio-
tech mega-corporations posing as food producers. It is shameful when
companies put money first and God and life last.
Over 60 percent of the foods manufactured in the U.S. have some level
of soy involvement —from natural flavorings, vegetable shortening,
hydrolyzed protein, textured vegetable protein and soy bean oil to soy
protein.
Many people are consuming some form of soy: protein powders, soy
milk, soy candy bars, health bars and even baby foods. Soy products account
for close to $100 billion a year in business. What does that tell you about
why soy is being presented as the greatest thing since white bread?Remember: If it’s not a fruit, vegetable, seed, or a nut, you don’t need it
and it is probably toxic to you.

MODULE 7.9
Recipes to Enjoy

This small collection of raw-food and cooked recipes will give you some idea
of the many simple dishes you can prepare for yourself. The different
vegetable combinations in salads, soups, stir-fried or steamed dishes are
endless. Prepare these combinations of either fruit dishes or vegetable dishes
according to your taste. Keep it simple. Heavy creams and sauces were
created to cover up the dead taste of cooked foods. Enjoy the rainbow of
colors, energies, smells and tastes of nature’s foods. These foods are designed
for our species.
RAW MENU

The Master Salad
Combine any or all of the following:
Romaine lettuce

Peas

Spinach

Cucumbers

Olives
Bell peppers (all colors)

Tomatoes

Onions

Asparagus

Avocado

Cabbage (red or white)

Green beans

Carrots

Sweet corn

Any dark green leafy vegetable

Make your salad fun and filled with a rainbow of colored vegetables. Use
only small amounts of dressing. (See Raw Dressing recipe in this section.)
For those who wish oil on the salad use only raw organic olive, coconut or
grape seed oil. Enjoy the natural flavors of vegetables.
Relish
2 cups sweet corn, cut right from the cob

1/4 cup sweet onions, chopped

1/4 cup red bell peppers, chopped
Mix all ingredients together. If you want your relish creamier, put your
ingredients into a blender and blend to your desired consistency.
Raw Dressing
Avocado

Garlic

Cucumbers

Olive oil (optional)

Bell peppers (all colors)

Sweet onion

Apple cider vinegar

Place ingredients in a blender and blend them until a semi-liquid is formed.
Pour over your salad as desired.
Guacamole
2 cups of diced avocados (remove skin)

4 diced green onions

Freshly squeezed lemon juice to taste (1/2 lemon)

1/2 cup of tomatoes

1/4 cup of chopped bell peppers (optional)

Cucumbers

Bread, all natural sprouted multi-grain or millet bread
**

*
You can mash your avocado and use it like mayonnaise. You can sprinkle
some of your salad dressing on your sandwich as well.
**
We recommend millet bread because it is more alkaline to the body while
most other grains are acid-forming.
Rainbow Fruit Salad
Fruit bowls are extremely delicious and loved by all ages. Certain fruits,
however, do not combine well together. Generally your acid type fruits, like
oranges and pineapples, do not mix well with your sweet type fruits, likebananas. The following are some suggestions for fruit bowls. Be creative.
Bananas, Peaches

Bananas, Blueberries

Bananas, Strawberries

Bananas, Mangos

Bananas, Apples, Strawberries, Grapes

1 cup of raw almonds
 1/2 cup of maple syrup

3 1/2 to 4 cups of distilled water

1/2 tsp of almond extract (or vanilla extract)

For a spicy Indian version, add the following to the above ingredients:
1/4 tsp of cardamom


 how his body becomes
strong, his voice rises, his face brightens, his movements
become rapid, his pulsating [blood] vessels become
strong and wide, his body surface becomes warm and joy
and gladness become manifest in his face and eyelids. His
condition is clear, cannot be hidden and is recognizable
without any effort. And the cause  of all these events is the
spread of the natural heat and of the blood to the surface
of the body. The reactions of all those who fear and hope and
anticipate security and calm are well known, as are also
the various reactions in th e thoughts of those who are
desperate or successful. O ccasionally the man who is
desperate and progresses from sadness to a feeling of
misfortune cannot see ahead because of weakness and the
turbulence of his foresight. But one who is successful
increases the light in his eyes exceedingly, so that it
seems that even the light around him increased and grew.
And this is sufficiently cl ear and needs no elaboration.

HYPERSENSITIVITY
And therefore the physicia ns have commanded the
observation of emotional changes and keeping them
always under consideration, tr ying to equalize them in
health or disease, without al lowing any other behavior to
take precedence. The physician must keep in mind that
the heart of every sick person is narrow and that every
healthy person has an expande d soul and therefore the
physician must remove emotional experiences that cause
a shrinking of the spirit. In this way the health of the
normal person will be extended and this is the law in the
cure of a patient, especially if the illness is concentrated
in the powers of the soul and its  parts, such as a disease of the diaphragm or the brain, causing turbulent thoughts
and melancholy. Special care should be taken in the
observation of the emotional movements. When one is
overpowered by imagination, prolonged meditation and
avoidance of social contact, which he never exhibited
before, or when one avoids  pleasant experiences which
were in him before, the physician should do nothing
before he improves the s oul by removing the extreme
emotions.

PHILOSOPHY AND THEORETICAL MORALITY
But the physician as such will neither explore nor
condemn with his wisdom hyperemotionality. One can
obtain this from philosophy and theoretical morality. Just
as the philosophers have com posed books in the various
sciences, so they composed many books on the
improvement of conduct and the morality of the soul and
the imparting of good habits from which only good
actions can result. And they have warned against base
habits and taught a way of removing from the soul every
bad habit that contri butes to the causation of evil. And all
the theoretical moral teachings, chastisements and
precepts that are taken from the prophets, their preachings
and character, or from later sages, as well as knowledge of their virtuous behavior, will help to improve the
qualities of the soul until they reach such praiseworthy
behavior that can produce  only good acts. And you will
find that those exaggerated emotions can only produce
changes in the ignoble masses, who possess no wisdom,
no philosophical principles and no theoretical morality,
like children, women and the stupid. All these timid souls
are easily startled and terrifi ed and when injury befalls
them or an inevitable misfortune occurs to them, you will
find that their consternation in creases. They pine and cry
and smite their faces and their chests. And it may happen
that the feelings become so intense that an ordinary man
will die from them, immediately or later, according to the
grief and distress he experiences. And when goodness is
bestowed upon those inferior  people by the favors of the
world, their gladness increases  and they think, at the
expense of their morality, th at they have obtained an
exceeding benefit and will continue to crave and to boast,
because of the pleasure they have had. They become
excited, gay and happy above measure, so that some of
them die from an overflow of happiness, as the spirit
melts and dissolves, because of a sudden expansion
outward, according to Galen. And this is caused by the
softness of the soul and it s ignorance of realities.
 THE EVEN KEEL
But those engaged in study and in absorbing
philosophical habits and the moral teachings of the Torah,
acquire strength for their soul s, and they are the true
heroes, as their souls are not  subject to change and get
very little excited. The more a man is disciplined, the less
he is affected by both extremes, good times and bad, so
that when he is favored by a great fortune in this world,
called by the philosophers "imaginary goodness," he does
not get excited nor appear pa rticularly great and good in
his own eyes. And when great misfortune and tribulation
befall him, like the many tribulations that occur in the
world and which the philosophers call "imaginary evils,"
he is neither startled nor terrified, but tolerates them well.
When one contemplates the true essence of things and the
knowledge of the nature of reality, he attains a wisdom
whereby he understands that  the greatest good in this
world does not stay with a man all his days, because it is
inferior in value, being perish able and destructible when a
man reaches his end. For of what benefit is it to man,
since he dies like other living cr eatures? And so it is with
the greatest of the evils in the world. When he considers
death from which he cannot es cape, every evil is less than
the evil of death, undoubtedly. And therefore a change for the worse is less than a change for the worst, which one
cannot escape.

IMAGINARY GOOD AND EVIL
And truly and justly did the philosophers call the good
and the bad things of the world, imaginary good and
imaginary bad things, because many things that one
considers good are really ba d, and many things that one
considers bad are really good. For example: Very often a
man collects a great sum of  money and attains great
prominence and power at the expense of his body and his
soul through the acquisition of evil habits that shorten his
days, thus removing himself far from God whose
closeness is the true a nd the eternal good. How many
times has a rich man been impoverished and a king lost
his kingdom, resulting in the improvement of his body
and in the perfecting of hi s soul with worthy habits,
prolonging his days and bri nging him close to God his
creator, which is the eternal good?
However, your servant has to remark: Let his days be
long or short, this is the opinion of the physicians,
philosophers and some of the thinkers who antedated the
Moslem religion. Generally it may be stated th at what people consider to
be good is really bad and most  of the things that are
considered to be bad are really good. And it is not the
intention of this chapter to explain the truth of these
things, to comment on them or to learn their ways,
because at every time and in every nation works have
been composed that enable you to look into the sciences
of the intellect.

EMOTIONAL STABILITY
But your servant has hinted a ll this to stir up and to
habituate the soul to accept l ittle things with a minimum
of enthusiasm. He observes the books on virtue and the
morality of the teachings, chastisements and regulations
composed by the intellectual s, until his soul becomes
strengthened and recognizes a nd knows the truth, that it is
true, and the insignificant, that it is insignificant. The
overexcitement in his soul will diminish and evil thought
will be lacking. His seclusiv eness and his avoidance of
society will cease and his soul will expand so that his
spirit can remain in any di sposition. In this condition
meditation alone can offer much help, as it decreases evil
thoughts, sadness and woes. And there is a possibility
that, considering everything with the eye of the intellect, the sad thoughts will vanish. For whatever a man thinks
that hurts him while thinki ng it, and that brings him
sadness, sighing and mourni ng, can only be one of two
kinds: either he meditates upon what has been, as when
he meditates upon money he has had and lost, or upon the
death of a person his heart grieves for; or he meditates
upon what is going to happen in the future and dreams of
what is going to happen, as when he imagines that he may
suffer a loss.
And it is known through inte llectual observation that
reflection over what has happened and come to pass will
be of no avail in any resp ect, and that mourning and
sorrow over things that have passed are the activities of
those who lack intellect. And there is no difference
between a man who laments over the loss of money and
the like, and he who laments th e fact that he is a man and
not an angel or a star or a nother of the things that are
impossible.

BE OPTIMISTIC
And the thought that brings worry to the spirit over
what is going to come or happen in the

.
But what about the cadaver?
Well, if life is defined as motion, and if you were to slice open a
cadaver and examine it at the cellular level, even though the body is
presumably dead you would still see motion  at the sub-molecular
level. This means that life never ends, but merely changes form.
Put under super ultra high microscopic examination, subject to
the most powerful magnificat ion, you would not see inert cells, their
atoms and submolecular particles simply standing still. The energy
that is animat ing the individual cells in the cadaver will still be
moving. That energy, that Essential Essence, not just frozen.
Life as we know it may have ended, but Life Itself will have not.

DR. COOPER: I agree. And I think it would be even easier to
understand if we imagined what would happen to a body in the
natural world, rather than the artificial environment of a cadaver
being dissected on a laboratory table in medical school.
If a human being passed away and the body was left in a forest
or in the wood s, and it disintegrated, then presumably its process of
disintegration would fuel the growth of other things. As
Conversations with God says, all life sustains life through the
process of Life Itself.So thing s that are so-called “dead organic material” are in fact
growth factors, or substrates, for new life.
And if one were to look through a high-resolution electron
microscope, one would indeed see movement, as you said—but this
movement would serve a highly specific and valuable purpose,
which is to fuel the emergence of other life forms.

NEALE: So it’s not really a process of disintegration, it’s a process of
integration.

DR. COOPER: Y es!

NEALE: The corpse that lies in the woods, in the forest, and
ultimately “disintegrates” doesn’t really “disintegrate” at all—it
actually integrates. Or, if you please, re-integrates, and becomes an
integral part of the never -ending process and express ion of life,
simply in a different form.

DR. COOPER: Exactly! I would agree. That is a beautiful way to put
it—it feels so complete. And wonderful, really.
Like “death” is not so much of a death, but more of a never-
ending cycle of existence furthering the propagation of life in a brand
new way.
And perhaps our understanding that life never ends can
facilitate a much fuller, richer  life, because it has been said that our
fear of death is directly proportional to our fear of life—of living fully.
 NEALE: Yes, and I think our fear of death is really a fear of losing our
sense of Self, of losing the present form in which our life is
expressing.
In HOME WITH God in a Life That Never Ends I asked God,
“What is death?”, and God replied: “There’ s no such thing as death
as you have imagined it. What you call death is merely a process of
re-identification.”
So it turns out that life never, ever ends, but merely changes
the form of its expression.

DR. COOPER: I like that idea.

NEALE: And the smallest part of you re-identifies in certain ways. In
the analogy of the burning log in the fireplace, God asks, “Has the
log disappeared, or has it merely changed the form in which it
expresses, from wood, to flame, to heat, to smoke, and light?” The
log has not disappeared, and the ashes in the fireplace are but the
tiniest percentage, just as the cadaver is but the tiniest percentage,
of the original physical expre ssion. The cadaver is analogous to the
ashes of the log in the fireplace. It is 0.05 percent of the life
expression called a “human” that we can still see.

DR. COOPER: That’ s such a perfect comparison.

NEALE: Y es, it is for me.
Like the log’s energy, which leaves its ashes behind—“ashes to
ashes, dust to dust”—the human being leaves behind the tiniest
percentage of what it was, and the grandest percentage goes on asother forms of energy. It simply expresses in different ways in the
ultimate universe of physicality.
Interesting. Interesting.
We need to explore this further and see where it takes us.Chapter Three

BEYOND THE BODY:
The Process of Creation

DR. COOPER: Y ou know what I couldn’t stop thinking about this past
week, Neale?

NEALE: What’ s that?

DR. COOPER: The Intersecti on of physicality and spirituality. It’s just
so fascinating to think about.
I would like to start by saying that there was a very specific
reason I brought up those medical examples last week—everything
from dissecting the cadavers  to the open heart surgery to the idea
that we can “change our genes” with such simple things as changing
our thoughts and our perceptions. I mean, they are remarkable
stories, but on top of that there is a much more importan t reason I
brought them up. And this is because, to me, they are a powerful
illustration of this Intersection between physicality and spirituality that
we are talking about here.
Conversations with God talks about the “three levels of
awareness”: hope, faith, and knowing. I would say that many people
hope that they are more than their bodies—more than their physical
existence here on the planet. And many people hope that thespiritual messages delivered by countless teachers across the globe
can be true in their lives.  But many people do not necessarily
experience this. That is, they may say their “positive affirmations”
and try to believe that things will work out in their favor, but the
events and outcomes in their lives may not seem to confirm that this
is true for them.
What I learned through my experiences in medicine—and
perhaps most powerfully of all, in seeing the dead cadavers—was
that I came to the knowing (not the hoping, but the knowing), that this
“spiritual presence” is, in fact, Who I Am. And as I said previously, if it
is Who I Am, then it must be able to be used as an integral part of my
day-to-day experience—a fundamental tool in the process of creating
my life.
So this experience allowed me to move from hope  to faith to
knowing about the fact that my reason for coming to the planet is in
fact a spiritual one —and that every single thing that occurs in my life
can be used to serve the Agenda of my Soul. And I think that the
point of intersection  is when the day-to-day living of our lives
becomes a down-to-Earth physical expression of the spiritual beings
that we are. In other words, when the body  becomes a vehicle for
the soul, just as the soul uses the body as a means to express and
to demonstrate who and what it really is.
Is this correct? What are your thoughts, Neale?
I really have not been able to stop thinking about this. I mean,
it’s exciting. And empowering. And it just makes so much sense.

NEALE: Let’ s talk about two things.First of all, yes, that is true—we are larger than our physical
bodies. This is why the word  metaphysical is used. Meta, meaning
“larger than,” or “greater than.” So we are, in fact, meta- physical
creatures. And nothing, I’m sure, would bring that more dramatically
to one’s consciousness than seeing a cadaver, or, for that matter,
seeing a person on an operating table undergoing open heart
surgery. So I can see how that would be very striking and very
dramatic and very clear and present evidence that we are meta -
physical and not just physical.
But let’s get back to hope, faith, and knowing. The question that
comes before anyone who’s having a difficult time moving from hope
to faith to knowing is, “What are we hoping? What are we having
faith in? And what are we knowing?”
It’s difficult for people to move to a place of knowing if what they
are trying to know is that everything that they are desiring to
experience in their life is going to happen. And that it’s going to
happen, furthermore, in precisely the way that they have thought to
make it manifest.
I think there’ s a danger in the New Thought Commun ity of
believing in the Power of Personal Creation to the degree that we
begin to feel that if something has not been made manifest in our
reality, as we have sought to cause it to be, that we have somehow
failed, that we have become “Spiritual Failures.” That we’re not
“doing it right.”
It would be a mistake, I think, for us to assume—for people to
assume, much  less to actually believe—that what they wish to see
manifest in their lives, what they fervently desire to produce as
outcomes in their physical reality, will occur without a doubt.If people believe that it will occur without a doubt, should it not
occur, they will then begin searching deeply for the reason. Why
didn’t it occur? And again, to repeat myself, they will no doubt make
themselves wrong—I’ve seen  metaphysical students do this—they’ll
make themsel ves wrong. “Well,


 in not more than four sets of one to five re petitions each. Strength training a few times per week is all that
is necessary to develop your new, lean body.

Losing or Gaining Fat … the Right and Wrong Way
The simplest method of losing fat is to consume fewer total calories eac h day than the amount you use. Estimating calories
consumed versus calories used can provide a very good assessment of your pote ntial overall rate of weight loss. (See Appendix D.
Resources for Diet Analysis) Given that a pound of fat contains 3,500 calor ies, if you expend 115 calories per day more than you
consume, you will fairly reliably lose one pound per month. Such calculati ons are not necessary on an ongoing basis; typically you
only need to figure calories in versus calories out to develop an understa nding and a routine. Once you establish healthful daily
habits, tracking your diet and exercise will become a thing of the past.
Another way to achieve a net loss of calories for weight reduction is to m ake a commitment to add regular exercise into your
daily routine. You must be patient about it, however, as briskly walking a mi le per day only yields on average about a one-pound
weight loss over the course of a month. This assumes, of course, that all ot her factors, including total calorie intake, remain relatively
constant during that time.

The Truth Behind Detoxification
The tendency among raw fooders to attribute magical powers, such as “ cleansing” properties, to foods is nothing short of
misguided. Raw foods do not cleanse; they are simply the foods we are designed f or. Consuming them provides the body the
necessary energy to relieve itself of toxins that have been held in  suspension with water. The body does this through its normal
mechanisms—the organs of elimination and detoxification.
Our liver and kidneys are always working to detoxify us. When we consume t he standard American diet, these organs work
overtime just to keep up, because we are constantly ingesting as many t oxins as we eliminate (or more). When we switch to raw
food, the liver and kidneys have a chance to catch up. They can finally make  progress in detoxifying the body, reducing its toxic
load.
One pint of water weighs one pound, so weight loss can be dramatic when we ar e losing water as a result of reducing the
body’s toxic load. I have seen people lose twenty-five and even as muc h as forty pounds in the first week of switching to an all-raw
diet. Rarely does more than a pound or so of this weight loss actually represe nt a loss of fat. As a rule, rapid weight changes always
represent water weight losses or gains. Under no circumstances can anybody lose a pound of fat per day, on any diet.
Programs that promise we will “lose up to 10 pounds in the first 48 hours”  are deceptive. It is possible to lose ten pounds of water
in just a few hours, but only an extremely active person could realisti cally lose much more than a pound of fat per week.

Sudden Weight Loss in New Raw Fooders
Several notable experiences are quite common when people start eating  raw foods, especially when they switch to a diet that is
exclusively raw from one that was primarily cooked. The first dramatic  change that people frequently notice is a rapid and dramatic
loss of weight. This does not always happen, but it happens more often than not. U sually, people perceive this as a good thing,
because they have excess weight to lose. After they lose the initi al water weight in the first week or two on the raw diet, many
people find that they continue to lose weight, though much more slowly. It i s likely that this subsequent weight loss represents a loss
of fat. Of course, at some point, even these losses must be brought to a stop, or the  person will simply fade away.
 “I Thought I Had More Muscle!”
Most folks, after a few weeks or months of raw eating, are certain that th eir diet is causing them to lose muscle. They have never
seen themselves so thin. What actually happens during weight loss i s that we lose much of the padding (fat) around our muscles and
also the fat marbled within our muscles. In addition, on a raw diet, we begin t o lose the water that we once retained to dilute toxins.
This water also added to the appearance of inflated muscles. Many people mis take this excess fat and water as part of their muscle.
Often, people tell me that in a week or two on a raw diet they lost all their m uscle. This is an absolute physiological
impossibility. In spite of what we have all heard, no diet of any kind resu lts in (any detectible) muscle loss—or muscle gain, for that
matter. If there were a diet that resulted in muscle gain, bodybuilders  would be found in the kitchen, instead of the gym. We lose or
gain muscle due to variations in our physical fitness programs, not thr ough dietary shifts. In spite of what we have all been told,
consuming protein (or any other nutrient) will not assist in the mus cle-building process. 70  If you believe such hype, you have been
sold a bill of goods.
If they understood body composition, and were honest with themselves, the se people would more accurately say, “I thought I
had much more muscle than I actually do. Then when I lost the excess wa ter that was inflating my muscles, I was forced to accept
the reality that I am not as well muscled as I thought I was.”

Dehydration and Body Weight
Dehydration is considered a contributor to more diseases of lifestyle tha n any other single factor except fat. When our toxin-
to-water ratio is skewed in the direction of toxins, cellular function i s compromised. This toxicity affects virtually every function in th e
body. Correcting dehydration oftentimes remedies weight-loss difficul ty, as organ function and energy levels greatly improve.
The dehydration coin has two sides: is it literally a state of “not enoug h water” or is it a condition of “too much toxin”? The
correct answer is, “both.” When a man is about to die from dehydration, the t oxins within his body have become too concentrated
for his body to cope with. The amount of toxins do not increase; they are simply l ess diluted, and therefore, more concentrated.
Few people would argue that dry-cooked foods (those not steamed or boiled) are low in w ater. After all, if we put toast
through a juicer, no liquid comes out. If we put a pot of water in the oven at 400 degr ees for an hour, most if not all of the water
evaporates off. The same thing happens to the water in food when it is dry-c ooked (and to a lesser extent when wet-cooked). The
oven works just like a dehydrator. Most of us just don’t realize how critic al this issue is for our health.

Four Ways We Become Dehydrated
Hydration is an important factor in all aspects of our health, and even our  weight. When using a bioimpedance scale to
measure body fat, we must consider our level of hydration to obtain accurate  readings. Both dehydration and water retention skew
our readings. Hydration also goes beyond the amount of water we consume, sinc e dehydration occurs for a variety of reasons.

Increased Toxic Load
The most common way that we become dehydrated is when our toxin intake rise s relative to our intake of water. Cooking produces
many toxins that cause the body to require additional water. Among the mos t virulent of these are the acrolein produced by deep
frying and the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons released during barbecu ing and other cooking methods that blacken or char our
foods.
Two common products found in most households may in fact, be the most toxic substa nces popularly consumed. Plain table
salt is so toxic that even when extremely diluted, as it is in sea wat er, it is still deadly. All sailors know that if they drink seawater the y
will die of dehydration. Salt must be greatly diluted with water before th e body can tolerate it. Alcohol, the second deadly household
poison, has a similar toxicity. It acts as a diuretic and causes substan tial water loss. Few substances dehydrate and impair us as
effectively as alcohol.

Low Water Intake vs. Toxic Load
The second way that we can become dehydrated is when water intake is low r elative to toxin intake. If we are to (correctly) assume
that the necessary amount of water is in our fresh plant foods before we c ook them, we can be certain that an insufficient quantity is
left after we cook them.
Cooking removes water from food. This explains why a baked potato weighs so much l ess than the same potato when it was
raw. (Granted, cooking can be utilized as a method of hydrating dry foods, as is th e case when we boil rice or lentils,  but this is the
exception, not the rule.) By driving off water, cooking effectively chan ges the water-to-toxin ratio in food to favor toxins, while also
raising the level of toxins in the food. So cooking food results in a double wham my—not only does it remove water, but a great
many toxins are created in the process, increasing our need for water.
Unfortunately, it is not part of human nature to drink water; we


 is
manifested when  groups of women who work or live together progressively
synchronize their menstrual cy cles. It is similar to the phenomenon of a
tuning f ork. It is because of thi s process that troops tend to break cadence
(that is, “break stride,” not march in unison) when they cross a bridge.
Familiarity  and pattern r ecognition:  T he human min d knows things by a
holistic pattern recognition. The easiest way to grasp an entirely new
concept is simply by familiarity. Learning occurs by circling around the
same concepts over and over until they are obvious. This is like surveying
new terr ain in an airplane: on the first pass, it all looks unf amiliar; the
second t ime aro und, we spot s ome points of reference; the th ird time, it
starts to  make sense, and we  finally gain familiarity through simple
exposure. The inborn pattern-rec ognition mechanism of the mind takes care
of the rest.
Fields of dominance:  A field of dominance is exhibited by high-ener gy
patterns in their influence over  weaker ones. This may be likened to the
coexistence of a small magnetic field within the much lar ger, more
powerful field of a giant electro magnet. The phenomenological universe is
the expression of the interaction of endless attractor patterns of varying
strengths. The unending comp lexities of life are the reflections of the
endless reverber ations of the aug mentations and diminutions of these fields,
compounded by their harmonics and other interactions.
Fractal:  Fractal patterns are characterized by irregularity and infinite
length, and strange attractors a re composed of fractal curves. A classic
example is the a ttempt to determine the length of the coastline of Britain. Ifone add s length s using smaller and smaller scales of measurement, it turns
out to be infinitely long. Fractal implies an infinite length in a finite area.
Heisenberg’ s principle:  Quantum mechanics is the way out from the
restrictive linear domain of the Newtonian paradigm, via Heisenber g’ s
principle, which  holds that to observe something is already to change  it
because of the impact of con sciousness itself. The higher the level of
consciousness o f the observer, the more profound the ef fect on what is
being observed.
Hologram:  A three -dimensional projection  into space of the image of an
object, created by projecting laser light so that half of the beam is directed
to the object and then onto a photographic plate, which receives the other
half of the beam directly. This c reates an interference pattern on the plate so
that a laser beam projected through the plate re-creates the image of the
object in three dimensions. It is of interest that every fragment of the
photographic pla te is capable of reproducing the entire image of the whole.
In a holographic universe, everything is connected to everything else.
Iteration:  R epeti tion. N onlinear iteration is present in innumerab le
systems. Because of this repetition, a very slight change in  the initial
condition will eventually produce a pattern dissimilar from the o riginal. In a
growth e quation, the output of t he prior iteration becomes the i nput for the
next seri es. For example, if a co mputer calculates to 16 decimal places, the
last digi t is the r ounding of f of t he 17th. This infinitesimal error, magnified
through many iterations, results in substantial distortion of the original data
and makes prediction impossib le. Thus, a slight change in a repetitious
thought pattern can bring about major ef fects.
Law of sensitive dependence on initial conditions:  T his refers to th e fact
that a slight vari ation over a cou rse of time can have the ef fect of producing
a profound change, much as a ship whose bearing is one degree of f compass
will eventually find itself hundreds of miles of f course.
Left-brain:  R eferri ng to thought sequenced in the linear style, which is
commonly desc ribed as “logic” or “reason.” Processing of  data in a
sequence A
 B
 C. Analogous to a digital computer.Linear:  Seq uential, following a logic al progression in the manner of
Newtonian physics and, there fore, solvable by traditional mathematics
through the use of dif ferential equations.
M-fields:  Morphogenetic fields, analogous to attractor patterns. In the
hypothesis presented by the biologist Rupert Sheldrake, mo rphogenetic
fields ar e part of the theory of formative causation, that ener g y fields of
form evolve and reinforce ea ch other. When someone advances in a
particular area, this success increases the likelihood for the rest of the
species to do the same. Roger Bannister broke through the “M-field” of the
four -minute mil e, and soon afte r his success, many more runners made the
same accomplishment.
Neural network:  T he interlocking patterns of interacting neurons within
the nervous system.
Neur otransmitters:  Brain chemic als (hormones, etc.) that regulate
neuronal transmission throughout the nervous system. V ery slight chemical
changes can result in major sub jective and objective alterations  in emotion,
thought, or behavior. This is  the prime area of current research in
psychiatry.
Nonduality:  Historically, all observers who have reached a consciousness
level ov er 600 have described the reality now suggested by advanced
scientific theory. When the limitation of a fixed locus of perception is
transcended, the re is no longer an illusion of separation, nor of space and
time as we know  them. All things exist simultaneously in the unmanifest,
enfolded, implicit universe, expressing itself as the manifest, unfolded,
explicit percept ion of form. These forms in reality have n o intrinsic,
independent exi stence but are the product of perception (that is, we merely
experience the content of our own minds). On the level of nond uality, there
is obser ving but no observer, as subject and object are one. Y ou-and-I
becomes the One Self experienc ing all as divine. At level 700, it  can be said
only that “All Is.” The state is one of Beingness; all is conscious ness, which
is infinite, which is God and which has no parts or a beginning or end.
The physical body is a manifestation of the One Self, w hich, in
experiencing this dimension, had temporarily for gotten its reality, thuspermitting the illusion of a thre e-dimensional world. The body  is merely a
means o f comm unication; to identify oneself with the body as “I” is the fate
of th e unenlightened, who then e rroneously deduce that they are mortal and
subject t o death.  Death itself is an illusion, based on the false id entification
with the body as  “I.” In nondual ity, consciousness experiences i tself as both
manifest and unmanifest, yet there is no experiencer. In this Reality, the
only thing that has a beginning and an end is the act of percepti on itself. In
the i llusory world, we are like t he fool who believes that thing s come into
existence when he opens his eyes and cease to exist when he closes them.
Nonlinear:  U npredictably irregular in time, “noisy,” nonperiodic, random,
and stochastic. Illustrated by mathematical series such as formulized
stochastic evolution equations of the form dx ( t ) dt = F ( xt ) + w ( t ), where w ( t )
is th e noise ter m of the stocha stic process. The term also d escribes the
mathematics of chaotic signals, including the statistical analy sis of time
series for deterministic nonlinear systems. Nonlinear  me ans dif fuse or
chaotic, not in accordance with probabilistic logical theory or m athematics,
not solvable by dif ferential equations. This is the subject of the science of
chaos theory, which has given rise to a whole new non-Newtonian
mathematics.
Phase space:  A map that af fo rds the condensation of time-space data into a
pattern in multiple dimensions. A Poincaré map is the graphic depiction of a
slice through a multidimensional pattern that demonstrates the underlying
attractor.
Positionality:  Positionalities are structures that set the entire thinking
mechanism in motion and activate its content. Positionalities are programs,
not the real Sel f. The world ho lds an endless array of positions that are
arbitrary presumptions and totally erroneous. Primordial positionalities are:
(1) ideas have significance and importance ; (2) ther e is a dividing line
between opposites ; (3) ther e is a value of authorship, su ch that thoughts ar e
valuable because they ar e “mine” ; (4) thinking is necessary for contr ol, and
survival depend s on contr ol. Al l positionalities are voluntary and can be
surrendered out of love. The Presence of God as Love is self- revealing as
the duality of perception ce ases as a consequence of surrendering
positionalities. Love is therefor e the doorway between the linear and thenonlinear domains. The spiritual will is enforced

I no longer worried. This was my first dry starvation -
Of course, on Lake Baikal to me it was easy to pass it, the more experience

and sinusitis, and frontitom, but therapeutic result comes only
after the tenth day of wet-fast.

and beliefs about dry fasting it very much. He
took five days of dry fasting and five days of wet. Exactly
A year later he again came and said that more water-hungry, he
will not, he really liked the effect of dry fasting, said
that exacerbations of this year was not yet. He went seven days of dry
starvation. Often called me and was very pleased with the result.
Of course, I'm still afraid to spend the dry fasting for more than seven
days. But I've always been lucky in life interesting, unique people.
For family reasons I had to go back to the Altai,
there I was offered a job at the medical center, where they spent
limotherapy. I was sent from Ulan-Ude, the invitation to
medical conference on the RTD. There were doctors who practice
limotherapy, from all over Russia. There I was able to meet
with one of the founders of dry fasting, a professor of folk
Medicine, LA Shchennikova. He spent lasted ten
6
6dry fasting for patients in person he was twenty-
day-long fasting. After the conference, he invited me
to itself in Kislovodsk. There I met with his patients and examined
in practice his method. Of course, his method is very effective, but
get it right for the average unskilled, untrained
man is very, very difficult. After the arrival of Kislovodsk myself
held nine days of dry fasting. Part I walked home and then
went to the Altai Mountains on Lake Teletskoe there, I realized that a serious
dry starvation can take place only on the nature and preferably in the mountains
and near mountain streams. After that I went through a ten-day dry hunger
but only in the Altai Mountains, and all the hunger, we were riding
in the campaign. Given all the advantages and disadvantages of different methods

fractional starvation (in more detail about it in the book).
For seventeen years I have been doing therapeutic starvation. Through
my hands were hundreds of patients. There were very good results,
but it was such, when hunger therapy is failing

appear about dry fasting. Of course, the information
there are very controversial: some write that after two days of dry
fasting cure cancer, others - that first we must take fifteen
days of dry starvation. I think it wrong, and neither those nor the other. Dry
starvation, in my experience - one of the most effective
methods among all kinds of fasting, but if not properly prepare
and applying it is fraught with serious complications. in principle,
and other methods. Now described many cases of people dying from
trite cosmetic surgery or the misuse of
Poisonous plants. The most offensive, that for this method of grasping, as for
straw at the last moment, when completed all other
methods of treatment and lost time. But, as I always tell my
patients, all must be done in time. This method, like all others, has
its limits, indications and contraindications. Of course, in the treatment of
any disease in the initial stages it has no equal. There is
a lot of horror stories and myths about the dangers of a very large dry fasting. I
did not want to belittle the role of fasting and other forms of treatment.
But I believe that every person must be complete, truthful
information and choice. But if someone decided to do their own
his rehabilitation with the help of medical dry fasting,
it must do so competently, to really get
maximum therapeutic effect and to use every opportunity
this technique. My book is intended for those people
and written with a view to providing the most complete and most
reliable information, based on the results of my long
practice and supported by reviews of my patients. Remember:
