 carried on in a subtle, almost
subconscious way.Cells already function automatically. However, hormones, steroids,
neurotransmitters, serotonin, etc., influence them. These substances create a
reaction in tissue (cells) that make them respond or react in a particular
manner, depending upon the initial thought or emotion. A good example of
this is fear. If you see something that terrifies you, your adrenal glands will
produce adrenaline (epinephrine) to stimulate the heart and blood flow, and
to encourage muscle movement. This gives you much added strength and
energy to run or fight. The adrenal gland first got its message to release
adrenaline from the brain, which received its message through your
awareness.
Cells respond to stimuli. This can have positive results or negative results
depending upon the source of the stimuli. As I have reinforced throughout
this book, the foods you eat, what you drink, breathe, and what you put on
your skin, can have a positive and enhancing effect or a negative effect upon
cells, tissues, organs or glands. A negative effect can cause hypoactivity of
cells and their respective tissues. These negative influences can even kill cells.
As your cells become weakened or die, they can change their
morphology (function). They can be invaded by parasites to finish them off,
and/or be consumed by an immune cell and thus eliminated.
As this process of cellular deterioration takes place, your body as a whole
begins to suffer. This creates a domino effect causing a change in the way
your body functions. These many changes are like signs. Linked together
they become a body “language” for you or your healthcare practitioner to
read. If you are observant and learn about your body’s language or
communication methods, you will be able to determine what organs and
glands are failing you. This module should be used in conjunction with
Module 5.12
, Health Questionnaire, which concludes this chapter. That
Questionnaire will allow you to reflect upon various bodily processes and
systems, and to pinpoint their weaknesses.
For now, the lists that follow are some “body language” cues, or side
effects, that I have learned in my thirty-plus years of experience as a
healthcare practitioner. Some of these might sound like diseases to you, but
they are merely the effects of organ or glandular weaknesses and failures.
THE LANGUAGE OF THE GLANDS, ORGANS AND SYSTEMS
 Thyroid (Endocrine Gland System)
Weakness or failure of the thyroid will show up as:
Obesity (if your pancreas is weak, you can be thin and still have a
thyroid weakness)
Low Metabolism (can give you poor digestion)
Low Body Temperature (cold extremities and cold intolerance)
Hair loss and balding
Failure to sweat properly, affecting skin elimination (creates dry skin and
other conditions)
Parathyroid (Endocrine Gland System)
Calcium requires a parathyroid hormone so it can be utilized properly by
your body. Failure to utilize calcium results in:
Bone loss (Osteoporosis, spinal deterioration or herniated disks)
Bone (calcium) spurs
Arthritis (adrenal gland weakness must also be present)
Connective tissue weakness, causing prolapsed conditions (dropping) of
skin, bladder, uterus, bowels, and other organs
Varicose veins and spider veins
Hemorrhoids
Depression
Nerve weakness
Spasms, cramping of muscles, convulsions
Dehydration
Ridged, brittle or weakened fingernails
Anemia (low calcium causes poor iron utilization)
Scoliosis
Ruptured Discs
Hernias
Aneurysms
MVP (mitral valve prolapse—heart)
Adrenal Glands (Endocrine Gland System)
Linked to the nervous system, inflammation, carbohydrate utilization, healing
and repair of tissues. Weakness or failure of these glands will be seen as:“itis’s” (all inflammatory conditions)
Fibrocystic conditions
Fibromyalgia, scleroderma and sciatica
Ovarian cysts
Excessive bleeding
Endometriosis and atypical cell formation
Prostatitis
Prostate cancer
All female cancers
M.S. and Parkinson’s Disease
Tremors
Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
Shortness of breath
Cholesterol plaquing
Dehydration
Anxieties, excessive shyness, emotional sensitivities, and other related
conditions
Sleep disorders
Memory problems
Early puberty, initial menstruation, and irregular menstruation
Conception problems
Sexual problems (including lack of or excessive sex drive, impotence,
erection problems, frigidity in women, and fertility problems)
Low Energy (Chronic Fatigue)
Low endurance
Pancreas (Digestive and Endocrine Gland System)
Hypoactivity (underactivity) of the pancreas can cause the following:
Gas and bloating during digestion
Undigested foods in your stools
Excessive thinness
Loss of muscle tissue
Moles growing on your skin
Low blood sugar (Hypoglycemia)
High blood sugar (Diabetes, etc.)
Acid reflux
Gastritis
EnteritisNausea
Liver and Gallbladder (Hepatic/Blood System—Your Chemical Factory)
When the liver or gallbladder becomes toxic, inflamed and full of stones, the
following symptoms may appear:
Bloating and Acid-Reflux conditions
Enteritis
Poor digestion
Anemia
Low amino acid utilization
Low hemoglobin and albumin count
Skin toxicity (resulting in dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, and other
conditions)
White stools
Liver spots (skin pigmentation changes)
Starvation
Low cholesterol production = low steroid production = more
inflammation
Lower resistance to inflammation
Lowers cell wall protection
Gastritis
Nausea after eating
Loss of muscle tissue (low protein utilization)
Low cholesterol levels
Sugar problems (high or low blood sugars)
Gastrointestinal Tract (Digestive and Eliminative Systems)
Your gastrointestinal tract (stomach to anus) is the “hub” of your body.
When it fails to do its job because of impactions and inflammation, this can
weaken and starve the body. When the GI tract fails, the rest of the body will
soon follow. The following are just some of the side effects of its failure:
Malabsorption and starvation
Gastritis, enteritis and/or colitis
Diverticulitis (when “pockets” are formed from impactions)
Gas
DiarrheaConstipation (also connected to adrenal medulla weakness)
Parasites (worms, and others; the unfriendly type)
Crohn’s disease
GI cancer (now second most prevalent type of cancer in the U.S.)
When the GI Tract becomes toxic, it sends toxicity to all parts of the
body
Appendicitis
Lymphatic congestion (blocks proper lymphatic elimination)
Nausea upon eating
Lymphatic System (Immune and Eliminative “Septic” System)
The job of the lymphatic system is to clean and protect the body. This system
is just as important
as the blood system. The lymphatic system is the most
neglected and needs the most attention. All diseases begin when this system
becomes overburdened and fails. The following are just some of the
noticeable effects:
Colds and flu-like symptoms
Many childhood diseases (mumps, measles, etc.)
Most respiratory congestive issues
Sinus congestion
Earaches
Hearing loss (causing the need for tubes in the ears)
Sore throats
Cysts and tumors
Boils, pimples and the like
Lymphatic cancers
Appendicitis
Low immune response
Low lymphocytes (when the lymph gland called the spleen is affected)
Low platelets and a lack of blood cleansing can take place.
Lymph edema from removed or degenerated lymph nodes
Lymph node swelling
Allergies
Cellulitis
Blurred vision
Cataracts and glaucoma
Snoring
Sleep apneaTonsillitis
Stiff neck
Cervical spine deterioration from stagnant lymph system in neck
(especially when tonsils have been removed)
Dandruff
Kidneys and Bladder (Eliminative/Urinary Tract System)
These organs are vital in your body’s elimination process. Without proper
elimination of metabolic wastes, both cellular and digestive, toxic by-products
will cause auto-intoxication of cells. This causes cellular weakness and death.
The following are side effects or warning signals that your body experiences
when the kidneys and bladder become weak.
Bags under your eyes
Vision problems
Lower back weakness and pain
Kidney stones (contributing factor to parathyroid weakness)
Urinary tract infections—UTI (burning upon urination)
Loss of bladder control (incontinence)
Difficulty urinating (can be urinary tract infections as well)
Increased acidosis
Dehydration
Edema (contributing factor)
Toxemia
Headaches
Can affect your breathing
Heart and Circulation (The Circulatory System)
Many conditions that affect the heart and circulation have already been
covered under various glands and their effects upon the body. This is because
many conditions within the body are reflex conditions that have an
origination point other than the obvious symptoms. Examples of this are
mitral valve prolapse and heart arrhythmia, which have their origins in the
parathyroid, where connective tissue and the nervous system can be affected.
The adrenal glands, of course, play a vital role in the nerve that feeds the
heart. Cholesterol will plaque itself if the adrenal glands are weak and


the Light  ADVANCING,  going  forward  into  Greater
Achievement  and  Freedom.  Therefore,  We may  ask you  to
do many  things  in the  future;  but  remember  when  you
have  entered  the Steps  into  the Doorway  of Light,  you  do
not pull  the Steps  in with  you.  You  leave  the Steps  there,  for
the others  who  are to follow  on. As you  are advancing  and
more  is naturally  required  of you,  then  rejoice  in it.
I say to the Group  Leaders  concerning  this:  Dear  Hearts,
don't  let your  human  quibble  over  following  Directions.
Joyously,  Happily  and  Willingly  just  do what  We Request!
You don't  see and  know,  but We do; and  We ask nothing
in the world  except  what  you  can do, and  that  which  We DISCOURSE  VIII  127
know  is of the  Greatest  Service.  You  could  not  in your
limited  state  know;  but We can in Our  State!
When  We  request  something,  It is for your  good!  Just
as yet remember,  Beloved  Ones,  you  are the Vanguard  of
the Light!  For  a little  time,  your  Responsibility  is Greater;
because  thru  the Power  of your  Radiation  your  Call  is mak-
ing possible  the Wider  Expansion  of This  "I AM"  Activity.
Thru  the Transcriptions  and  the Radio  Work,  which  We
are opening,  you  will  find  the Open  Doorway  to the Ex-
pansion  of the Light  and  the reaching  of people  which  is
necessary.  It is imperative  that  These  Books  flood  forth  to
mankind  as much  as possible;  for They  contain  and  hold
the Explanation  and  the Application,  by which  every  hu-
man  Being  can set himself  or herself  Free.  It is imperative
the people  have  them  for Constant  Use;  because  the intel-
lect does  not retain  enough  from  just  hearing  the Instruc-
tion!
I ask  all, please  do not keep  reaching  out for more  Ex-
planation.  Take  That  which  is before  you  and  apply  It with
DETERMINATION,  WITH  FIRMNESS!  The  Explana-
tion is all there,  if you  really  understand  It! Don't  let your
intellect  keep  reaching  out  for various  things;  and  guard
your  human  self,  so it does  not  run  away  and  feel  itself
wiser  than  We.
Dear  Ones,  in the  Service  which  you  are rendering,  I
say again  to you:  "The  Present  Students  of the 'I AM'  under
Saint  Germain's  Radiation,  are the Vanguard  of the Light;
and EACH  ONE  must  feel  the Courage  of his or her own 128 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
"I AM  Presence,"  strong  enough  to carry  This  Light;  until
more  of humanity  can be brought  into  the Clearness  of This
Understanding.  Then,  they  will  share  the  responsibility
with  you;  but today,  the outer  world  does  not understand
how  to call forth  its Protection.  Therefore,  the people  are as
helpless  as infants"!
I am telling  you  tonight,  unless  Individuals  understand
their  own  God-Presence,  the "Mighty  I AM,"  they  can give
but fragmentary  assistance.  THEY  CANNOT  GIVE  THE
SUSTAINED  ACTIVITY;  because  they  must  know  their
Presence  is above  them,  from  which  they  can  call  Its
Powers  into  action.  Until  Individuals  understand  this,  they
are constantly  wavering  like  the pendulum  of a clock  and
soon  the Presence  is forgotten!
No longer  will  people  waver,  but stand  in the Light  and
draw  to themselves  their  own!  Oh,  that  you  understood
those  Simple  Words!  Those  Words  are  the  Majesty  of
Creation!—"Stand  in the  Light  and  draw  to yourselves
your  own"!  Shall  I put  it just  a little  more  definitely  to
you? From  the Octaves  of the Ascended  Masters  there  are
being  lowered  into  the atmosphere  of Earth,  Certain  Ac-
tivities,  which  mean  Assistance  in Precipitation;  which
mean  Assistance  in the Use  of the Light  Rays;  which  mean
Assistance  in the Power  of Self-control  of the Individual!
All This  is Assistance  independent  of your  Call!  The  World
is once  again  being  set Free,  altho  its mistakes  have  been
great.  The  Cosmic  Light  says  once  again:  "Mankind  is to
be set Free  from  the sweat  of its brow,  for its livelihood; DISCOURSE  VIII  129
and as the Light  intensifies  within  the Earth,  will  many  of
you come  to understand  the import  of My Words  tonight"!
We have  in the Etheric  Belt,  within  certain  parts  of the
Earth,  discoveries  of which  We  have  known  for a long
time;  and  to Those  in the Retreats  for more  than  one  hun-
dred  years,  which  will  give  your  America  Its Perfect  Free-
dom!  The  labor  problem  which  has  caused  so much  un-
happiness  and  destruction,  how  quickly  We  could  solve  it.
The people  have  been  wanting  shorter  hours.  We  could
show  you,  how  to produce  all you  require  in two  hours
service  a day.  Then  in the balance  of that  time,  you  could
study  for your  own  Perfection.  How  many  of you  can tell
Me tonight,  if you  had  or were  required  to render  just  two
hours  service  a day—would  you  actually  give  the remainder
of the eight  hours,  to study  and  make  Application  for your
Freedom?  I leave  that  to you!
Now  then  remember,  you  are entering  a New  Kingdom,
the Kingdom  of Light—which  is Its Own  Supply  to the
Children  of Earth!  This  is not idle  talk!  We  have  no time
for such  things;  but  I am drawing  your  attention  tonight,
to Certain  Things  for a Very  Definite  Purpose;  because  It
not only  means  your  advancement,  but It means  the Assist-
ance  which  you  require.
You,  in your  great  city  tonight,  are sitting  within  This
Sanctuary  of Light,  as though  the  outer  world  did  not
exist,  for these  two  hours  while  you  are here!  It is the
Rarest  Privilege  and  Activity  on Earth,  Beloved  Ones.  You
are in This  Charged  Sacred  Chamber  of Light,  very  much 130 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
as if you  were  in the  Cave  of Light  in India;  only  this
building  is not charged  for centuries  with  the Light  where
only  Perfection  exists,  as it is there.  Yet,  We  are drawing
and have  drawn  thruout  the classes,  These  Mighty  Light
Rays  into  the  room,  which  are  fulfilling  a very  Similar
Purpose  for you!  That  is why,  as your  attention  is called
from  one  point  to another,  the opening  is there  for Us, to
fill your  world  with  whatever  you  desire.  It is Light  and
Happiness!
I say again  tonight,  do not allow  one  single  feeling  to live
in you  of criticism  or condemnation  of another;  even
though  such  a one  might  have  made  mistakes.  Pour


 as an anti-depressant.When Phen/Fen was taken off the market, the manufacturersof Meridia decided to promote it for weight loss becauseMeridia affects the same neurotransmitters that Phen/Fen did.
When the manufacturers of Meridia initially tried to get the
drug approved by the FDA, it was rejected. It caused too manyproblems with elevated blood pressure. So they cut the dosagein half to reduce the blood pressure problem. Needless to say,Meridia’s effectiveness for weight loss went down as well.
The whole approach to weight loss in conventional186 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  medicine has been predicated on the theory that people eat too
much and that’s why they have a weight problem. The medicalcommunity, in my view, has been remiss in not addressing thetrue factors that cause weight gain.
Meridia might be of some benefit in maintaining weight
loss because it can reduce severe cravings for food. However, itdoes not address getting rid of fat. The great majority ofover-weight people have hormone problems: primarily, toomuch insulin, too much estrogen, and an under-active thyroid.They cannot start burning fat until their hormones havebeen adjusted.
PREMARIN/PROVERA
—THE UNQUESTIONED PROTOCOL
Shirley confesses that when she challenged her doctor about
prescribing Premarin, she was chided for doing so. This is verycommon. Estrogen is the one hormone gynecologists knowabout and believe in, and Premarin is a formulation they’re veryfamiliar with. It’s common for gynecologists to look askance atany question concerning Premarin’s effectiveness.
Premarin is one of the largest-selling estrogen preparations
in the world—although sales dropped to half what they hadbeen after release of the Women’s Health Initiative in 2002.This is a drop of 10 million prescriptions per year—resultingin a decrease of 14,000 cases of breast cancer per year. At theturn of the last century, the incidence of breast cancer wasabout one case per 94 women; the present rate is about one inevery seven or eight women. This increase may be attributableto our friend estrogen.
I have had women patients come back to me and report that
their doctors forbade them to take the natural bio-identical187 DOCT ORS DON’T ALWAYS LISTEN progesterone I had prescribed and sternly insisted that they
continue their estrogen replacement therapy. I’ve heard ofdoctors who told women to throw their progesterone creamin the trash.
Some time ago, I had a 59-year-old woman in my office.
When she was 52 she was started on Premarin and Provera. Byage 58 she had contracted breast cancer and they removedboth breasts. The doctors then prescribed what is called anEstring, which is a high dose of estradiol (one of the threetypes of estrogen) inserted vaginally. So now she had estrogensitting right next to her uterus. Keep in mind that estrogen isthe only known cause of cancer of the uterus.
/Dswashoctors have to go back to listening to patients.
/Tswashhere is no substitute for it.
This woman’s sister had had cancer of the uterus, which
indicates that the woman was genetically predisposed tocontracting uterine cancer. Sitting there in my office with herhusband right next to her, she told me that she was due to haveanother Estring put in, as she has to have a new one insertedevery two months. She was arguing with me about how shewanted to have that Estring put back in. I asked, “Why wouldyou want to do that?” She replied that two gynecologists hadtold her that it’s safe.
I was dumbfounded. “You’ve already donated both breasts;
you want to give them your uterus as well?” Her husbandcouldn’t believe her, either. But women have been brainwashedregarding the purported benefits of estrogen.
Provera is just as harmful as estrogen. It is a synthetic prog-
estin, and although its chemical name is medroxyprogesterone, ithas no relationship to natural bio-identical progesterone. Many188 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  doctors unfortunately think Provera is the same as progesterone.
Provera is damaging to blood vessels (like estrogen), is lipogenic(it creates fat just like estrogen), and also increases a woman’schance of getting breast cancer (just like estrogen). However, inmost cases it does prevent uterine cancer, which is why it is givento women taking Premarin who still have a uterus.
HORMONE RECEPTOR SITES
Hormones travel through the bloodstream in minute quantities.
When they reach a receptor site that fits them, they attach to itand are able to influence the cell they have attached to. Onewoman who is estrogen dominant (i.e., has high estrogen andlow progesterone) may have completely different symptoms fromanother woman who is also estrogen dominant because theirreceptor sites differ.
Shirley developed asthma in her teenage years, a common
problem induced by estrogen not only in women but in menas well. Her asthma got worse as she got older, for severalreasons. Her progesterone levels were falling, and very likelyher estrogen levels were going up as she got fatter. Fat cellsproduce estrogen. As we have already seen, this may explain, atleast in part, why obese women are more prone to breastcancer than women of normal weight.
Shirley apparently also has estrogen receptor sites in her
temporal arteries, which explains her migraine headaches. Manywomen have excess receptor sites in the uterus and breasts,prompting severe menstrual cramps and breast tendernessduring their periods. Later on, this intense stimulation leads touterine fibroids or endometriosis, fibrocystic disease of thebreasts or ovaries, and can result in uterine, ovarian, or breastcancer. None of these conditions occur when the body has189 DOCT ORS DON’T ALWAYS LISTEN enough natural progesterone to protect these organs.
Shirley describes herself as having a pear-shaped figure.
This is the case when the body is producing an over-abundance of two different hormones—insulin and estrogen.Insulin puts fat on around the waist, and estrogen puts fat onaround the hips, buttocks, and thighs. This is true for bothmen and women. People with excesses of insulin and estrogenoften have gallbladder problems as well.
TAKING THE TIME TO LISTEN
T o this day Shirley remains angry about how she was treated by
the medical establishment. This is not unusual. Many patientstell me horror stories about being treated in a patronizingmanner and not listened to. Until there is a change in doctors’attitudes, patients will continue to be misdiagnosed, with theirsymptoms being addressed instead of the underlying cause.Doctors have to go back to listening to patients. There is nosubstitute for it.
Shirley was obviously hormonally challenged. A basic
familiarity with natural bio-identical hormones on the part ofher earlier doctors would have allowed her to eliminate herasthma, which would have delighted her, to eliminate herheadaches, which would have amazed her, and to get rid of herfat, which would have pleased her.
Needless to say, for Shirley, using bio-identical hormones
was nothing short of miraculous.190 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  BATTLING THE MEDICAL
ESTABLISHMENT —
MARGARET O.’S STORY
chapter TWENTY–THREE
Margaret O. is a well-educated woman, an accomplished musi-
cian and a teacher. She came to me at the age of 67, havingspent the previous 37 years seeking the solution to a seriousweight problem. She had been a size 22 for most of her adultlife, even though she was physically active and ate healthy foodsin reasonable quantities. But she had a hormonal profile thatmade her body store fat.
I want you to hear her story because I see so many women
like her: well-educated, inquisitive, avid readers who studyhealth and medicine in an attempt to understand their ownbodies. Their weight problem isn’t their fault, but the medicalestablishment thwarts their honest efforts to break throughtheir difficulties.
When I started gaining weight in my 30s I wanted to find out
why. I wasn’t eating any more than I had been before the weightgain, and my level of physical activity was the same. InstinctivelyI knew some other variable was at work here. At first I went to thedoctors at Kaiser Hospital, where I have my medical plan. Ithought they could help me.
191They did a series of tests on me and declared that I had an
under-active thyroid. That made sense to me and I was hopefulthat with thyroid medication my metabolism could be ratchetedup and my weight would start to go down. They prescribed thethyroid hormone Synthroid. I took it, but nothing happened.
So I went back to Kaiser and told them I was still gaining
weight. They gave me the same tests over again, and they gave meanother prescription for Synthroid. It seems this was the only thingthey knew. When I went back a third time and told them Iwasn’t getting any results, they just looked at me strangely and toldme to eat less.
From this experience I learned to harbor a healthy skepticism
about the medical profession. T oday I seek my own conclusions andI don’t take things at face value any more. Being an educatedperson, I began reading everything I could about how the bodymetabolizes food. Meanwhile, I tried


 involved. There is doubt that the other person is
“right” for you. This doubt isn’t rational most of the time, but reason has a
hard time countering fear—especially when it is becoming clear that yourbeloved cannot always be sensit ive to your needs. For women this time stirs
doubts that they will be cared for and listened to; for men it often arouses
anger over not being supported.
These ego reactions are not completely honest, however. The underlying
issues go even deeper: Can I trust you? Will you hurt me for coming close?
Why haven’ t you kept me from feeling lonely and afraid? “You’re so
inconsiderate” is code for “Why can’t you help me?” Della and Frank were
stranded at this juncture, which made forward progress in their commitment
to each other impossible. We had a chance to discuss their situation when
they attended a meditation course last spring.
“There’ s someth ing I want to suggest,” I told them, “but you’ll think it’s
too outrageous.”
Being as competitive as they are, Della and Frank pricked up their ears,
sensing a challenge. “I propose that each of you takes on a spiritual master,
a guru,”  I said. “Having a wise teacher would provide you with spiritual
counsel when disputes arise. You could explore why you’re angry and
afraid. Most of all, you’d have a source of compassion and trust, someone
who accepts you at the deepest level.”
Frank’ s doubts came up immediately. “I don’t know, I’m not really that
comfortable with the whole master -disciple thing.”
“I’m not sure it’s right for me either,” said Della, “but there’ s nothing
outrageous about what you’re suggesting. Who would be our guru?”
“Each other,” I said. The atmos phere in the room instantly crackled. My
proposal was considered outrage ous, just as I’d expected. “It’s an option,” I
pointed out, “and if you think about it, you’re both eminently qualified. You
love each other, and who know s your weaknesses as well as each other?
The possibilities for compassion are endless.”
Frank gave a nervous laugh; Della looked away. “I’m not making light of
the distress in your present relationship,” I said more seriously. “You both
feel unappreciated and pin your grievances on each other, which makes it
extremely difficult to move psychologically into a freer space. You’ve
become trapped by your reflexive reactions to each other. Your anger has
become ritualized, yet stubbo rnness makes you cling to your self-
righteousness even when you’re sick of it.
“Now consider, is it really the other person who has forced you to be this
way? You’ve both framed this marriage as a contest, a competition,sometimes a war. I sense a level  of mutual enjoyment in this combat, but at
the same time it’s become totally self-defeating. Winning your little daily
battles or even the whole war isn’t going to bring you love and acceptance.
Mature love can’t grow in that kind of framework. It can grow only if you
can find a way to frame your marriage differently. Let your spouse be your
teacher.”
“We want to love each other,” Della protested. “I mean, we do, but we
don’t always know how to show it.”
“I don’t know how you define love,” I replied. “But isn’t it synonymous
with things like acceptance, appreciation, and allowing? Loving someone
means not resisting his or her will, which is one of the first things you could
teach each other.”
I explained the ancient concept of Upaguru, a Sans krit word that can be
translated as “the teacher who is close by.” Unlike the guru, who is an
enlightened sage, anyone can serve as your upaguru—it is only necessary to
realize that each person can offer us, at any given moment, exactly what
spirit wants us to learn. When the moment is gone and the insig ht revealed,
the upaguru returns to being friend, spouse, or stranger.
Frank was suspicious. “You’re saying I should do whatever she wants,
without question? I mean, is this about total obedience?”
“Don’ t worry, Frank,” Della interjected sharply. “You’d have to listen to
what somebody says before you could obey it.”
I assured  them I wasn’ t talking about obeying another person’ s will. “A
master acts out of love,” I pointed out, “but it has a different flavor from the
love most of us have experienced. A master doesn’ t recognize a gap
between ‘me’ and ‘you.’ Filling in that gap is what he can do, because in
reality there is no gap. The distance is just an appearance, all the more
destructive when people believe in it as hard as you two do.”
Delia and Frank are much more complete people than I have portrayed,
and what I was saying rang true with their own experience. This was a
marriage that had once contained a good deal of awareness and real
commitment to learn from each other. Both partners sincerely believed in
equality and fairness. Frank had seen his passive mother turn into “the
house slave,” as he bitterly called her; he had felt unprotected from a father
who could be tender one moment and highly confrontational the next. He
was therefore very happy to have a strong woman in his life.Della also had some strong images from her past to work through: two
professional, liberal parents had devoted themselves to so many good
causes that she had spent many nights at home alone, wondering why she
wasn’ t good enough to deserve their attention. Being paid atten tion to was
extremely important to her now, but she was also aware that intimacy
triggered her old emotional wounds. Della and Frank both knew these
things about each other; they had begun on a level of honesty that made
their marriage much more than a stereotype of legal eagles whose mutual
egotism makes it impossible to get along.
In the end they didn’ t agree to my “outrageous” proposition, but they did
promise to keep it in mind. I suggested that before taking the risk of treating
each other as their spiritual masters, it would be a good idea to act out their
new roles mentally. They wanted me to clarify what I meant.
“Whenever you feel yourself having a reaction of judgment, rejection, or
resistance, imagine the opposite,” I said. “Instead of seeing an adversary,
view your partne r as totally on your side. Don’ t focus on what he or she has
done to irritate you; reframe it as an act of pure love, brought into being to
teach you the perfect lesson you need to learn at just that moment. This isn’ t
a mind game or a trick: at the level of spirit your beloved acts only from
love, holding your highest good at heart.”
“Intriguing notion,” Frank said guardedly. Della bit her lip, considering
the possibility that there might really be a way out.
“Resistance is like a wall holding back the flow of love,” I said. “Love is
the wave that brings forgiveness, kindness, and trust from the level of spirit.
You can’t create these things. You can only tune in to them, which is why
you need to remake your daily battles into opportunities for spirit. Every
sliver of time opens onto the timeless. Can you allow yourself to slip
through?
“First and foremost, this is about seeing each other in a new light. I’m not
asking you to be at each other ’s beck and call, or to give up your own
needs. Needs don’t just go away. On the other hand, projectio ns of blame
should go away; there isn’t any reason, except in your perception, to make
each other feel wrong.”
“Sounds good, but what do we do?” asked Della.
“You stop feeding the monster,” I said. “This inner being who keeps
screaming, ‘What about me?’ is a kind of monster, a distorted outgrowth ofyour ego.” I had the couple shut their eyes and imagine this monster in
detail. It was ugly, covered with reptilian scales, and hard as a stone; it had
a horn on its back, which I called the bone of contention. It wore a
permanent expre ssion of contempt, and the only word it had managed to
learn was “No!” uttered in a loud, menacing voice.
“The name of this beast is resistance,” I said. “Now think of a recent
situation where you absolutely didn’ t want to go along with your spouse’ s
will. See this monster coming forward to defend you by putting up a wall of
denial, a thousa nd reasons why you are right and your partner wrong, a
ferocious displa y of withering disapproval. How do you feel when that
happens?”
“Hard. Angry. Furious,” Frank said.
“Insecure. Empty. Alone,” said Della.
I pointed out that both were layers of the same response. On the surface
the monster of resistance expre sses anger and hardness, but this is only to
protect the insecurity and loneliness lurking underneath. If you peel away
the layers, you find that resistance is actually born of fear, and fear comes
from having been deeply hurt in the past.
“Now ask your monster to unzip  its frightening


 he regi stered
and impressed the picture. This made a pro-found impression on him,
and his whole aim was to firmly impress the picture on his mi nd and
develop it there. Films are developed in the dark; likewise, mental
pictures are developed in the darkroom of the subconscious mind.
• Focused attention
Realizing that his conscious mind was simply a camera, he use d no
effort. There was no mental struggle. He quietly ad-justed his t houghts
and focused his attention on the scene before him until he graduall y
became identified with the picture. He became absorbed in the  mental
atmosphere, repeating the mental movie frequently. There wa s no
room for doubt that a healing would follow. When there was any
temptation to drink, he would switch his imagination from any
reveries of drinking bouts to the feeling of being at home wi th his
family. He was successful because he confidently expected to
experience the picture he was developing in his mind. Today he  is
president of a multimillion-dollar concern and is radiantly happy.
• He said a jinx was following him
Mr. Block said that he had been making an annual income of
$20,000, but for the past three months all doors seemed to jam tightl y.
He brought clients up to the point where they were about to s ign on
the dotted line, and then at the eleventh hour the door closed. He
added that perhaps a jinx was following him.
In discussing the matter with Mr. Block, I discovered that three
months previously he had become very irritated, annoyed, and
resentful toward a dentist who, after he had promised to sign a
contract, had withdrawn at the last moment. He began to live i n the
unconscious fear that other clients would do the same, thereby se tting
up a history of frustration, hostility, and obstacles. He graduall y built
 191  up in his mind a belief in obstruc-tion and last minute cancell ations
until a vicious circle had been established. What I fear most has come
upon me. Mr. Block realized that the trouble was in his mind, and that
it was essential to change his mental attitude.
His run of so-called misfortune was broken in the follow-ing way:
“I realize I am one with the infinite intelligence of my  subconscious
mind which knows no obstacle, difficulty, or delay. I live in the
joyous expectancy of the best. My deeper mind responds to my
thoughts. I know that the work of the infinite power of my
subconscious cannot be hindered. Infinite intelligence always f inishes
successfully whatever it begins. Creative wisdom works through me
bringing all my plans and purposes to completion. Whatever I st art, I
bring to a success-ful conclusion. My aim in life is to give  wonderful
service, and all those whom I contact are blessed by what I ha ve to
offer. All my work comes to full fruition in divine order.”
He repeated this prayer every morning before going to call o n his
customers, and he also prayed each night prior to sleep. In a short time
he had established a new habit pattern in his subconscious mind, and
he was back in his old accustomed stride as a successful salesman.
• How much do you want what you want?
A young man asked Socrates how he could get wisdom. Socrates
replied, “Come with me.” He took the lad to a river, pushed th e boy’s
head under the water, held it there until the boy was gaspi ng for air,
then relaxed and released his head. When the boy regained his
composure, he asked him, “What did you desire most when you were
under water?”
“I wanted air,” said the boy.
Socrates said to him, “When you want wisdom as much as you
wanted air when you were immersed in the water, you will receive it.”
Likewise, when you really have an intense desire to over-come any
block in your life, and you come to a clear-cut de-cision that the re is a
 192  way out, and that is the course you wish to follow, then victory and
triumph are assured.
If you really want peace of mind and inner calm, you will get it.
Regardless of how unjustly you have been treated, or how unfair th e
boss has been, or what a mean scoundrel some-one has proved to be,
all this makes no difference to you when you awaken to your mental
and spiritual powers. You know what you want, and you will
definitely refuse to let the thieves (thoughts) of hatred, anger, hostility,
and ill will rob you of peace, harmony, health, and happiness. You
cease to become upset by people, conditions, news, and events by
identifying your thoughts immediately with your aim in life. You r aim
is peace, health, inspiration, harmony, and abundance. Feel a ri ver of
peace flowing through you now. Your thought is the immaterial and
invisible power, and you choose to let it bless, inspire, and giv e you
peace.
• Why he could not be healed
This is a case history of a married man with four children who was
supporting and secretly living with another woman during his business
trips.
He was ill, nervous, irritable, and cantankerous, and he could not
sleep without drugs. The doctor’s medicine failed to bring down hi s
high blood pressure of over two hundred. He had pains in numerous
organs of his body, which doctors could not diagnose or relieve. To
make matters worse, he was drinking heavily.
The cause of all this was a deep unconscious sense of guilt. H e had
violated the marriage vows, and this troubled him. The religi ous creed
he was brought up on was deeply lodged in his subconscious mind,
and he drank excessively to heal the wound of guilt. Some invalids
take morphine and codeine for severe pains; he was taking a lcohol for
the pain or wound in his mind. It was the old story of adding fue l to
the fire.

 193  • The explanation and the cure
He listened to the explanation of how his mind worked. He faced his
problem, looked at it, and gave up his dual role. He knew that h is
drinking was an unconscious attempt to escape. The hidden cause
lodged in his subconscious mind had to be eradicated; then the healing
would follow.
He began to impress his subconscious mind three or four times a
day by using the following prayer: “My mind is full of peace, poise,
balance, and equilibrium. The infinite lies stretched in smi ling repose
within me. I am not afraid of anything in the past, the present, or the
future. The infinite intelligence of my subconscious mind leads,
guides, and directs me in all ways. I now meet every situation w ith
faith, poise, calmness, and confidence.
I am now completely free from the habit. My mind is full of i nner
peace, freedom, and joy. I forgive myself; then I am forgiven. Peace,
sobriety, and confidence reign supreme in my mind.”
He repeated this prayer frequently as outlined; being fully  aware of
what he was doing and why he was doing it. Knowing what he was
doing gave him the necessary faith and confidence. I explained t o him
that as he spoke these statements out loud, slowly, lovingly, and
meaningfully, they would gradually sink down into his subconscious
mind. Like seeds, they would grow after their kind. These truth s, on
which he concentrated, went in through his eyes, his ears heard the
sound, and the healing vibrations of these words reached his
subconscious mind and obliterated all the negative mental pa tterns
which caused all the trouble. Light dispels darkness. The constr uctive
thought de-stroys the negative thought. He became a transformed man
within a month.
• Refusing to admit it
If you are an alcoholic or drug addict, admit it. Do not dodge the
issue. Many people remain alcoholics because they refuse to admit i t.
 194  Your disease is instability, an inner fear. You are refusing t o face
life, and so you try to escape your responsi-bilities through t he bottle.
As an alcoholic you have no free will, although you think you have,
and you may even boast about your will power. If you are a habitual
drunkard and say bravely, “I will not touch it any more,” you have no
power to make this assertion come true, because you do not know
where to locate the power.
You are living in a psychological prison of your own making, and
you are bound by your beliefs, opinions, training, and environmenta l
influences.
Like most people, you are a creature of habit. You are con ditioned
to react the way you do.
• Building in the idea of freedom
You can build the idea of freedom and peace of mind into your
mentality so that it reaches your subconscious depths. The latter, be ing
allpowerful, will free you from all desire for alcohol. The n, you will
have the new understanding of how your mind works, and you can
truly back up your statement and prove the truth to yourself.
• Fifty-one percent healed
If you have a keen desire to free yourself


 of the supplements I use for
practically every patient who needs to overcome bowel disturbances. Alfalfa offers the proper bulk, but sometimes produces mo re
gas as we stir up this lazy bowel to act, and, for this reason, we use a couple of digestive enzymes to get rid of the gas.
Apple Juice —Very good for the bowel because it is high in pectin, which is a moisture -holding substance.
Apple Cider Vinegar —Very high i n potassium and is good to relieve any mucus or catarrhal conditions. It helps provide needed
nutrients to muscle tissue.
Beet Tablets —A slight laxative that works well with the liver, promoting the cleansing of that organ.
Bentonite —A clay suspended in wa ter. It is very useful in absorbing toxic substances. It can absorb 40 times its own weight in
toxic substances. It acts like a sponge, mopping up undesirable debris.
Mucilaginous Bulk —This material holds moisture well and attaches itself to the mucus lini ng making it soft and loose so it will
move away from the bowel wall. This is a very important ingredient to the success of the treatment.
Cod Liver Oil —Provides lubrication and helps work with the liver in cleansing. It provides vitamins A and D which are  needed for
good elimination.
Coffee —Stimulates peristaltic action in the bowel —driving down feces and stimulating bile production in the liver.
Dulse —Quickens the thyroid gland and speeds up the metabolism while bringing heat to the body causing the blood  to circulate
deeper.
Spring Green and Green Life Tablets —Brand names for very potent biogenic plant substances. They provide rich sources of
vitamins, minerals and enzymes that help in the cleansing process. We believe that Green Life is the finest supple ments to be used
with this colema program; however, if it is not available, you may use Sun Chlorella, in the same amount. Be sure to crush th e
tablets into powder form before taking.
Flaxseed —Excellent bulk maker, and in extreme cases of ulcerated colitis, provides a soothing and healing tea to be put into the
colema water. It also is a bowel lubricant. For one of the colema solutions to be used when any serious cases are confronted,  such
as colitis, always use flaxseed tea. You can also add a teaspoon or more of liquid chlorophyll to this flaxseed tea for the colema
water. This can be taken by mouth as well. When taken orally, use one cup tea and one teaspoon liquid chlorophyll three times  a
day. This can be used in cases of extreme gas, spastic conditions, colitis, etc.
Liquid Chlorophyll —Very wonderful for the bowel. It is soothing and reduces inflammation, swelling and pain. It disinfects and
cleanses.
Niacin —Produces hot, red flush and is used to push the blood deep into underactive tissues so that we c an strengthen them with
vital nutritents.
Pancreatin —This is the one thing that helps most to bring down the mucus lining. It is a powerful digestant substance and loosens
the lining.

Mr. Irons produces most of these products and they are very good. Nature’s Sunshine is also producing similar products. Please
inquire for a very good all -around vitamin that is chemically balanced for both the adult and children. I have had many requests
from strict vegetarians about the use of the animal products in th is treatment. Specifically, the Pancreatin and Cod Liver Oil. For
those so concerned, I wish it were possible to recommend substitutes that are as effective as these. Unfortunately, I am not aware
of any at this time. It is particularly important to use th e Pancreatin as it has the unique ability to dissolve and digest the heavy
mucus encrustation that causes so much of the bowel troubles.
Vitamin A is not readily available in a natural form other than cod liver oil. There are synthetic forms available, but  I do not
recommend their use. Vegetarian A is usually a pro -vitamin A and of low potency.

I feel that the benefits of this treatment outweight the use of the animal products for the brief period that they are employ ed. Once
the bowel is re -established in to a healthier condition, then use of these substances can be discontinued.
Betaine HCL and herbal digestants have not given good results and are not recommended as viable substitutes for Pancreatin.
Papaya tea or extract help. Huckleberry tea or extract m ay also be a substitute. We have not tried these and therefore cannot report
on the effectiveness of them. If you suffer from an allergic reaction to any particular ingredient, then omit it from the pro gram until
it may be tolerated at a later time.

Besides that other troubles of the body, i.e. cold, constipation, indigestion, etc. have also been totally removed.”  Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  LEPROSY  Mr. J. W, United States "At the International Conference on Complementary Medicine in Madras, I was sitting next to a physician from Israel who had come to India with an interest in working with lepers. Literature on urine therapy was passed to us which mentioned that urine had been used successfully in the treatment of leprosy. Naturally, he was interested in learning more about it. And of course there is really only one way a person can know about something like urine therapy. We both laughed... It just so happened that I was coming down with travellers diarrhoea. So I thought I would put the unmentionable therapy to the test. I did and I have to admit that first cupful is etched in my memory. Needless to say, I didn't die, I got over my problem very quickly and will never know for sure if it was the urine that did it. After that first shot, the rest was downhill. I can testify with absolute confidence that the practice of drinking my morning overflow has benefited me greatly not only physically but in mind and spirit. It has made a steady and profound improvement in my health. I am not as moody as I used to be and this has been corroborated by my friends. I've been without any viral conditions since I began, but more importantly I am confident that this practice will help keep me healthy." (From: Widening Circle; A Newsletter from John M.

I was told of this treatment by a woman from England, Sister Margaret Deleney. Together, we treated several leprosy topical ulcers and some chronic asthma cases and skin disorders. We achieved good results with this treatment. Since then, I have treated many cases, and the treatment has never failed. Also, hip baths and drinking urine daily 132 is the best treatment for chronic and painful piles. The problem is that the patient is often unwilling to drink his or her own water. Therefore we mix it with some juice and serve it at breakfast. I can honestly say it is the best treatment for leprosy ulcers, asthma and several skin disorders. I am extremely grateful for this therapy and plan to start a small clinic for urine therapy.   D. Satyamurthy, The Golden Fountain by Coen van der Kroon  LEPROSY  “Once, while on evening walks, Kaviraj met a person named Kehra suffering from leprosy. He requested Kaviraj to treat him and started weeping. Kaviraj consoled him and told him that the disease can be treated provided Kehra was ready to follow his advice strictly. Kehra agreed to do anything to get cured. Kaviraj advised him to drink all the urine and anoint the body with it. After three weeks of his treatment Kehra's body started oozing a foul smelling water. Condition worsened so acutely that the patient wanted to leave the treatment. After much persuasion he agreed to continue it. Kaviraj used to go to him daily and encourage him. One day Kehra had a strong fever and remained restless throughout the night. Next day morning a miracle happened. Kehra's skin came off his body like snake's slough. He was made to lie on ashes of cow-dung cake. He remained deeply asleep.by evening ashes were changed four times to soak the offensive secretions. After two days he became conscious and was given cows milk with honey. His body was cleaned with a piece of cloth. He was then made to lie on a cot. The patient felt well and painless. He continued urine drinking for few days and got cured completely.”  Miracles of Urine Therapy by Morarji Desai  LEPROSY DEGENERATIVE  “Kanajibhai Wolanial, age 32, is an inhabitant of Ahmedabad. A skin expert had taken him for a patient of degenerative leprosy and treated him as such for a long time but failed to cure him. His hands and fingers now bore the wounds, and he always felt a piercing and burning sensation in his fingers. He was unable to lift anything with his hands. The nerves of his hands were strained and had contracted. He had already begun rubbing with urine on his hands for a week and felt considerable relief from the burning and piercing sensation. He was advised to continue rubbing regularly and also start drinking urine the next day and to fast on urine and water after a couple of days.  133 Next week, he reported an improvement in his condition. He fasted for three days and continued the rubbings for three months. He was extremely happy with the results. Here is a short account: ‘Before the treatment, I was unable to move my hands up and down, but it is possible to do so now. Moreover, I was unable to do work with them but now it is possible to do so. On the whole I have been considerably benefited by urine treatment, and the wounds of leprosy on my hands and feet have disappeared. The piercing sensation in the fingers has also vanished.’ "  Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn  LEUCODERMA  This case was of a girl sixteen years of age. There was only one white spot on her back. The spot was of nearly one inch diameter and two months old. As the girl and her parents were much worried and ready to follow any schedule however difficult, I asked them to let her daughter fast with urine and water for three days and keep on anointing the body with urine for at least two weeks. The girl was advised to take no spices and unnatural food during the treatment. I am happy to record that the girl and her parents followed the instructions religiously. The white spot started changing its colour just after five days of treatment and vanished in another five days. However they continued the treatment for five days more. Not only the girl got rid of her white spot, her skin became exceptionally clean and transparent.  Miracles of Urine Therapy by Morarji Desai  LEUCODERMA  Shri Ranjitbhai Parikh, aged thirty two was having white spots in all parts of his body for the last fifteen years. Even his hair became white due to leucoderma. Ranjitbhai used to go in search of saints and talk to them about yoga and other spiritual matters. In due course he became intensely interested in yoga and read 'Hath Yoga-Pradipika'. In this book 'Shivambu Kalpa' was referred in connection with 'Amrauli Mudra'. After much effort he could find the 'Shivambu Kalpa' in Sanskrit. He experimented on himself many formulae of urine therapy described in this book. He got his eyesight improved by drinking urine through nose. But his major success was treatment of leucoderma which is described below.  Proper urine drinking and anointing with urine started affecting his leucoderma in stages. White spots started decreasing in size and then vanished gradually from many parts of the body. Spots of head vanished and hairs became black. Face, neck, stomach and hip became spotless and skin changed to natural whitish colour. 134  When Raojibhai saw him after the treatment, he could not recognize him. Young sadhu of Arvindashrama, his long black hair and long beard were magnificent


 methodology. "Scientific" data requires control groups, matched populations, statistical analysis, etc. In my case  there
was no previous work my dissertation c ommittee would accept, because the available data did not originate from a medical school
or psychology department they recognized.
    Due to a lot of determination and perseverance I finally did succeed in getting my thesis accepted, and triumphed over m y
doctoral committee. And I graduated with a dual Ph.D. in both counseling psychology and gerontology. My ambition was to
establish the orthomolecular approach on the west coast. At that time I knew of only two clinics in the world actively using
nutrition al therapy. One was in New York and the other, was a Russian experimental fasting program for schizophrenics. Doctors
Hoffer and Osmond had used orthomolecular therapy in a Canadian mental hospital as early as 1950, but they had both gone on t o
other thing s.
    The newly graduated Dr. Isabelle Moser, Ph.D. was at this point actually an unemployed mother, renting an old, end -of-the-
road, far -in-the-country farmhouse; by then I had two small daughters. I strongly preferred to take care of my own children in stead
of turning them over to a baby sitter. My location and my children made it difficult for me to work any place but at home. So
naturally, I made my family home into a hospital for psychotic individuals. I started out with one resident patient at a tim e, using
no psychiatric drugs. I had very good results and learned a tremendous amount with each client, because each one was differen t
and each was my first of each type.
    With any psychotic residing in your home it is foolhardy to become inattentive e ven for one hour, including what are normally
considered sleeping hours. I have found the most profoundly ill mentally ill person still to be very crafty and aware even th ough
they may appear to be unconscious or nonresponsive. Psychotics are also generall y very intuitive, using faculties most of us use
very little or not at all. For example one of my first patients, Christine, believed that I was trying to electrocute her. Th ough she
would not talk, she repeatedly drew pictures depicting this. She had, qui te logically within her own reality, decided to kill me with
a butcher knife in self -defense before I succeeded in killing her. I had to disarm Christine several times, hide all the household
knives, change my sleeping spot frequently, and generally stay s ufficiently awake at night to respond to slight, creaky sounds that
could indicate the approach of stealthily placed small bare feet.
    With orthomolecular treatment Christine improved but also became more difficult to live with as she got better. For e xample,
when she came out of catatonic -like immobility, she became extremely promiscuous, and was determined to sleep with my
husband. In fact she kept crawling into bed with him with no clothes on. Either we had to forcefully remove her or the bed wo uld
be handed over to her --without a resident man. Christine then decided (logically) that I was an obstacle to her sex life, and once
more set out to kill me. This stage also passed, eventually and Christine got tolerably well.
    Christine's healing process  is quite typical and demonstrates why orthomolecular treatment is not popular. As a psychotic
genuinely improves, their aberrated behavior often becomes more aggressive initially and thus, harder to control. It seems fa r more
convenient for all concerned to suppress psychotic behavior with stupefying drugs. A drugged person can be controlled when
they're in a sort of perpetual sedation but then, they never get genuinely well, either.
    Another early patient, Elizabeth, gave me a particularly valuable les son, one that changed the direction of my career away from
curing insanity and toward regular medicine. Elizabeth was a catatonic schizophrenic who did not speak or move, except for so me
waxy posturing. She had to be fed, dressed and pottied. Elizabeth was  a pretty little brunette who got through a couple of years of
college and then spent several years in a state mental hospital. She had recently run away from a hospital, and had been foun d
wandering aimlessly or standing rigidly, apparently staring fixedl y at nothing. The emergency mental health facility in a small city
nearby called me up and asked if I would take her. I said I would, and drove into town to pick her up. I found Elizabeth in
someone's back yard staring at a bush. It took me three hours to persuade her to get in my car, but that effort turned out to be the
easiest part of the next months.
    Elizabeth would do nothing for herself, including going to the bathroom. I managed to get some nutrition into her, and change
her clothes, but that wa s about all I could do. Eventually she wore me down; I drifted off for an hour's nap instead of watching her
all night. Elizabeth slipped away in the autumn darkness and vanished. Needless to say, when daylight came I desperately sear ched
the buildings, th e yard, gardens, woods, and even the nearby river. I called in a missing person report and the police looked as
well. We stopped searching after a week because there just wasn't any place else to look. Then, into my kitchen, right in fro nt of
our round eye s and gaping mouths, walked a smiling, pleasant, talkative young woman who was quite sane.
    She said, "Hello I'm Elizabeth! I'm sorry I was such a hassle last week, and thank you for trying to take care of me so well.  I was
too sick to know any better."  She said she had gone out our back door the week before and crawled under a pile of fallen leaves on
the ground in our back yard with a black tarp over them. We had looked under the tarp at least fifty times during the days pa st, but
never thought to look  under the leaves as well.
    This amazing occurrence made my head go bong to say the least; it was obvious that Elizabeth had not been ‘schizophrenic'
because of her genetics, nor because of stress, nor malnutrition, nor hypoglycemia, nor because of any of the causes of mental
illness I had previously learned to identify and rectify, but because of food allergies. Elizabeth was spontaneously cured be cause
she'd had nothing to eat for a week. The composting pile of leaves hiding her had produced enough hea t to keep her warm at night
and the heap contained sufficient moisture to keep her from getting too dehydrated. She looked wonderful, with clear shiny bl ue
eyes, clear skin with good color, though she was slightly slimmer than when I had last seen her.
    I then administered Coca's Pulse Test (see the Appendix) and quickly discovered Elizabeth was wildly intolerant to wheat and
dairy products. Following the well known health gurus of that time like Adelle Davis, I had self -righteously been feeding her
home-made whole wheat bread from hand -ground Organic wheat, and home -made cultured yogurt from our own organically -fed
goats. But by doing this I had only maintained her insanity. Elizabeth was an intelligent young woman, and once she understoo d
what was caus ing her problems, she had no trouble completely eliminating certain foods from her diet. She shuddered at the
thought that had she not come to my place and discovered the problem, she would probably have died on the back ward of some
institution for the ch ronically mentally ill.
    As for me, I will always be grateful to her for opening my eyes and mind a little wider. Elizabeth's case showed me why Russi an
schizophrenics put on a 30 -day water fast had such a high recovery rate. I also remembered all the esoteric books I had read
extolling the benefits of fasting. I also remembered two occasions during my own youth when I had eaten little or nothing for
approximately a month each without realizing that I was "fasting." And doing this had done me nothing bu t good.
    Once when I was thirteen my mother sent my "little" brother and I to a residential fundamentalist bible school. I did not wan t to
go there, although my brother did; he had decided he wanted to be a evangelical minister. I hated bible school bec ause I was
allowed absolutely no independence of action. We were required to attend church services three times a day during the week, a nd
five services on Sunday. As I became more and more unhappy, I ate less and less; in short order I wasn't eating at al l. The school
administration became concerned after I had dropped about 30 pounds in two months, notified my mother and sent me home. I
returned to at -home schooling. I also resumed eating.
    I fasted one other time for about a month when I was 21. It h appened because I had nothing to do while visiting my mother
before returning to University except help with housework and prepare meals. The food available in the backwoods of central B.C.
didn't appeal to me because it was mostly canned vegetables, canne d milk, canned moose meat and bear meat stews with lots of
gravy and greasy potatoes. I decided to pass on it altogether. I remember rather enjoying that time as a fine rest and I left  feeling
very good ready to take on the world full force ahead. At that time I


, a friend of ours, and he
gave me an injection to kill the pains. He called my husband aside and told him that
he had given me morphine and would come immediately any hour of the day or
night to give me more as I  needed it. He thought I  couldn't live many more days.
Another doctor friend, who runs a local clinic where I  was having regular blood
checks, had received a report from the Frankfurt hospital, which stated I  had a fist
sized growth on the liver and several other plum-size growths in the pelvis area.
Questioned by my husband as to my chances, he simply shook his head and said,
"malo, malo, malo" (bad, bad, bad).
I  felt the stomach cramps were indigestion and became extremely careful about
what I  ate. In fact, at this point I  was almost too frightened to eat anything. I  knew
now I  had to do something quickly before it was too late. We began studying all the
information we had gathered on cancer cures and set ourselves a time limit of two
days to make our decision. This was perhaps the most agonizing time of all. I  felt we
146
Winning The Cancer War
had to make the right choice the first time, as there wouldn't be time for another.
My Yoga teacher joined us (I had started Yoga some weeks before and each day
was doing some simple exercises, mainly breathing exercises, which I  believed would
strengthen me and help me relax). We had several books on cancer treatments but
kept coming back to Dr. Kelley's One Answer to Cancer. It made sense to me and I
was particularly impressed by the fact that Dr. Kelley had gone through what I  was
going through and had cured himself. I  had felt convinced about Dr. Kelley for weeks
but I  was put off by the distance I  would have to travel to see him. He seemed so far
away and I  dreaded the journey.
I  made my decision at the end of two days and phoned The Kelley Foundation in
Winthrop, Washington. As much as my husband wanted to go with me, we agreed
that it would be more practical if he stayed at home with our three small children
(ages 5, 7, and 9) and I  be accompanied on the journey by my yoga teacher, who —
being American — would probably prove more useful during our time in the States.
Winthrop was quite a contrast to the hospital in Frankfurt. I  had been very
impressed at first by the vast buildings, the army of doctors and nurses, the apparent
efficiency of the Frankfurt hospital and felt, mistakenly, I  had come to the right place
and that here they must be clever enough to cure anything. Arriving in Winthrop, I
wondered if it could be possible that such important work as Dr. Kelley's was being
carried out in such a tiny place miles and miles from anywhere.
Dr. Kelley himself was quite different from the doctors in Frankfurt who had made
me feel I  was being a nuisance every time I  asked a question about my condition and
treatment. This attitude I  had found frustrating, as it was my life in their hands and I
considered I  had a right to know exactly what they were doing with it. The other
patients didn't seem to mind being treated like children who should keep quiet and
do as they were told.
At least, I  never heard any ask questions about the treatment they were receiving or
drugs they were being given. When I  suggested to a fellow patient receiving
chemotherapy and in constant pain that she eat something healthier than Frankfurter
sausages and ice cream, she said the doctors knew best and they would surely not
give her food that was not good for her.
At last I  was speaking with a doctor who treated me like an intelligent human being
and was quite willing to discuss all the details of my illness. Dr. Kelley explained
everything very clearly, admitted I  was in a bad state but said he saw no reason why I
shouldn't come through if I  followed the treatment. It was largely up to me. I  felt
tremendous relief and hope. It was like the chance to live had been taken away and
was now being given back to me. I  now had a chance and it was all I  asked for. If my
747
Winning The Cancer War
recovery depended largely on my own efforts, I  felt confident I  would succeed, as I
was ready to do anything to get well.
Returning home, I  stopped off at Frankfurt where I  had a mid-December
appointment for more chemotherapy. I  hated the idea of having more drugs pumped
into me but relatives and friends at Frankfurt, nervous at the thought of my dropping
the orthodox treatment, advised me to keep the appointment, and Dr. Kelley did not
seem opposed to the idea of my having one more session. I  went to the hospital but
the moment they started giving me the injections I  felt I  had made a terrible mistake
and that all the drugs were going to do was poison my body and weaken it even
more.
I  felt terrible afterwards. I  was in bed for several days with pains, nausea and
exhaustion, and I  felt very depressed. I  felt so weak I  couldn't face the journey home
to spend Christmas with my husband and my children. I  spent all Christmas day
vowing I  would take no more drugs. All I  wanted now was to go home and start Dr.
Kelley's program.
I  began the nutritional program on January 3, 1977. Swallowing all the
supplements and taking the morning enema was a bit of an effort at first but after a
few days I  got used to this and it became routine. I  suffered none of the reactions Dr.
Kelley warned me about. In fact, I  began to feel better almost immediately. The pains
went and, except for an ache in the shoulder during a bout of flu last winter, I  have
had none since I  started the program.
I  followed Dr. Kelley's advice and became selfish for a few months, concentrating
all my thought and efforts on my own health and helping my body to become strong
again. I  continued my daily yoga exercises. I  started a vegetable garden so we could
have fresh vegetables. I  began to make my own bread, made from whole-grain flour
we bought from an old mill in an inland Pueblo. I  felt now I  was doing something
positive and, after months of pain and depression, was now on the road to recovery.
After eight months, I  was re-tested and Dr. Kelley wrote me to tell me I  was making
very good progress. This was tremendously encouraging but I  already knew in myself
that I  was getting stronger with each week that passed. Around this time, I  went to see
the surgeon in Malaga who had examined me the previous year. He examined me
and was amazed that he could no longer feel the growth on the liver. He said he
thought it had gone. I  wondered whether he was trying to cheer me up but we later
learned through a mutual doctor friend that he discussed my case during a medical
reunion in Malaga and said I  was taking some weird treatment in America and,
whatever it was, it seemed to be working.
We have several doctor friends here in Spain who are familiar with my case.
148
Winning The Cancer War
Whenever I  see them, they seem very pleased to see how well I  am looking but show
no curiosity nor do they express the slightest interest in the treatment I  am on. This
puzzles me as I  should have thought a doctor, more than any other person, would
want to know how I  am recovering from an illness they regard as incurable and
which, according to them, should have killed me more than a year before.
After a year of staying most of the time at home and concentrating quietly on the
business of getting well and following my nutritional program to the letter, I  began,
little by little, to go out and become more active. I  consider I  am now leading a
normal life. I  run a home, am involved in the PTA at my children's Spanish school,
and help my husband in the office three times a week.
I  might still have some cancer in my body but this does not worry me. I  am
convinced it is only a matter of months before I  am completely cured. Dr. Kelley told
me that my illness could turn out to be a blessing in disguise. I  could not believe this
at the time but now I  am sure he was right. I  feel I  am starting a new life. My family is
now eating a healthier diet. And I  feel my illness has brought my husband and myself
closer together. I  also have the added satisfaction of being able to help other people.
Quite a number have heard about my recovery and have come to me for information
and advice.
Some people I  have spoken to have been impressed by the nutritional program but
have been unable to believe that the doctors who have put them on chemotherapy
could be wrong. Most of them have since died and this saddens me because I  feel
their deaths were unnecessary. I  only wish I  had heard about Dr. Kelley earlier and
had not submitted myself to surgery and chemotherapy. But this, perhaps, is negative
thinking. I


. So,
I’ll tell myself that I’ll do it in the future, then I don’t have to admit
to myself that I’m not going to do it. And it is easier to accept myself
this way.” This is the sort of convenient if fallacious reasoning that
can be brought into play when you are faced with having to do
something which is unpleasant or difficult.
If you are a person who lives one way and says you are going to
live another way in the future, those proclamations are empty. You
are simply a person who is always adjourning and never getting
things done.
There are, of course, degrees of procrastination. It is possible to
put things off up to a point, and then complete a task just prior to
the deadline. Here again is a common form of self-delusion. If you
allow yourself an absolute minimum amount of time to get your
work done, then you can justify sloppy results or less than top-notch
performance by saying to yourself, “I just didn’t have enough time.”
But you have plenty of time. You know that busy people get things
done. But if you spend your time complaining about how much you
have to do (procrastination), then you’ll have no present-moment
time for doing it.
I once had a colleague who was a procrastination specialist.PUTTING AN END TO PROCRASTINATION—NOW  / 179He was always busy chasing down deals and talking about how
much he had to do. When he talked, others got tired just imagining
the pace of his life. But a close look would reveal that my colleague
actually did very little. He had a zillion projects going in his mind
and never got down to work on any of them. I imagine that each
night before dozing off, he deluded himself with a promise that to-
morrow he would get that job finished. How else could he go off to
sleep with his self-delusional system intact? He may have known
that he would not, but so long as he swore that he would, his present
moments were safe.
You are not necessarily what you say. Behavior is a much better
barometer of what you are than words. What you do in your present
moments is the only indicator of what you are as a person. Emerson
wrote,
Do not say things. What you are stands over you the while, and
thunders so that I cannot hear what you say to the contrary.
Next time as you say you’ll get it done, but know that you won’t,
keep those words in mind. They are the antidote to procrastination.
Critics and Doers
Putting it off as a way of life is one technique that you can use to
avoid doing. A non-doer is very often a critic, that is, someone who
sits back and watches doers, and then waxes philosophically about
how the doers are doing. It is easy to be a critic, but being a doer
requires effort, risk and change.180 / Your Erroneous ZonesTHE CRITIC
Our culture is full of critics. We even pay to hear them.
As you observe yourself and the people around you, take note of
how much social intercourse is devoted to criticism. Why? Because
it is just plain easier to talk about how someone else has performed
than to be the performer. Take note of real champions, those who
have sustained at a high level of excellence over a period of time.
The Henry Aarons, the Johnny Carsons, the Bobby Fishers, the
Katharine Hepburns, the Joe Louises, and people of that ilk. Doers
at the highest levels. Champions in every way. Do they sit around
poking serious criticism at others? The real doers of the world have
no time for criticizing others. They’re too busy doing. They work.
They help others who are not as talented, rather than serve as their
critics.
Constructive criticism can be useful. But if you’ve chosen the role
of an observer rather than a doer, you are not growing. Moreover,
you may be using your criticism to absolve yourself of the respons-
ibility for your own ineffectiveness by projecting it onto those who
are really making an effort. You can learn to ignore the fault-finders
and self-appointed critics. Your first strategy will be to recognize
these same behaviors in yourself, and resolve to eliminate them en-
tirely, so that you can be a doer rather than a procrastinating critic.
Boredom: A Spin-Off of Procrastination
Life is never boring but some people choose to be bored. The
concept of boredom entails an inability to use up present moments
in a personally fulfilling way. Boredom is a choice; something you
visit upon yourself, and it is another of those self-defeating items
that you can eliminate from your life. When you procrastinate, you
use your present moments doing nothing, as an alternative to doing
anything. Doing nothing leads toPUTTING AN END TO PROCRASTINATION—NOW  / 181boredom. The tendency is to blame boredom on the environment.
“This town is really dull” or “What a boring speaker.” The particular
town or speaker is never dull, it is you experiencing the boredom,
and you can eliminate it by doing something else with your mind
or energy at that moment.
Samuel Butler said, “The man who lets himself be bored is even
more contemptible than the bore.” By doing what you choose, now,
or using your mind in creative new ways now, you can insure that
you’ll never again choose boredom for yourself. The choice, as al-
ways, is yours.
Some Typical Procrastinating Behavior
Here are some areas where procrastination is a much easier choice
than action.
• Staying in a job in which you find yourself stuck and unable to
grow.
• Hanging onto a relationship that has gone sour. Staying married
(or unmarried) and merely hoping that it will get better.
• Refusing to work on relationship difficulties such as sex, shyness
or phobias. Simply waiting for them to improve, instead of trying
to do something constructive about them.
• Not tackling addictions such as alcoholism, drugs, pills, or
smoking. Saying, “I’ll quit when I’m ready,” but knowing that you
are putting it off because you doubt that you can.
• Putting off arduous or menial tasks such as cleaning, repairing,
sewing, lawn work, painting and the like—providing you really care
about whether or not they get done. If you wait long enough, maybe
it will get done by itself.
• Avoiding a confrontation with others, such as an authority fig-
ure, a friend, a lover, a salesperson or a serviceman. By waiting, you
end up not having to do it, although the confrontation might have
improved the relationship or the service.182 / Your Erroneous Zones• Being afraid to change locations geographically. You stay in the
same place for a lifetime.
• Putting off spending a day or an hour with your children which
you might enjoy because you have too much work or are bogged
down in serious matters. Similarly, not going out for an evening to
dinner, or to the theater or a sports event with your loved ones and
using your “I’m busy” line to postpone it forever.
• Deciding to start your diet tomorrow or next week. It’s easier
to put-it-off than to take-it-off, so you say, “I’ll get to it tomorrow,”
which of course will never arrive.
• Using sleep or tiredness as a reason for putting it off. Did you
ever notice how tired you get when you are close to actually doing
something uncomfortable or difficult? A little fatigue is a terrific
deferring device.
• Getting sick when you are faced with a disquieting or trouble-
some task. How could you possibly do it now, when you feel so
terrible? Like exhaustion above, it’s an excellent technique for pro-
crastinating.
• The “I don’t have time to do it” ruse, in which you justify not
doing something because of your busy schedule, which always has
room for those things that you really want to do.
• Constantly looking forward to a vacation or that dream-trip.
Next year we’ll find Nirvana.
• Being a critic and using your criticism of others to camouflage
your own refusal to do.
• Refusing to get a physical checkup when you suspect some
dysfunction. By putting it off you don’t have to deal with the reality
of possible illness.
• Being afraid to make a move toward someone you’re fond of.
It’s what you want, but you’d rather wait it out and hope that things
work out.
• Being bored at any time in your life. This is merely a way of
putting off something and using the boring event as a reason for not
doing something more exciting.PUTTING AN END TO PROCRASTINATION—NOW  / 183• Planning but never putting in action a regular exercise program.
“I’ll get started on that right away…next week.”
• Living your entire life for your children and always putting off
your own happiness. How can we afford a vacation when we have
the kids’ education to worry about?
Reasons for Continuing to Put It Off
The rationale for putting it off is composed of one part self-delu-
sion and two parts escape. Here are the most important rewards for
hanging onto procrastination.
• Most obviously, putting it off allows you to escape from unpleas-
ant activities. There
