In October of 1990 I had an automobile accident on the highway.
The result was diabetes in addition of anger and stress.
Giving my account exactly, it was in the month of April, 1995.
11ost 18 kilos { 40 1bs}. 1 felt weak, tired, depressed with headaches
and swelling of legs because of the kidneys,
and already I had been treated by doctors previously.
I lasted a year with medicines and diets, until a day the priest of a parish
commented to me to go to a conference on Urine-therapy.
It was Sonia, a Blood chemist Doctor giving a seminar.
Immediately I made the decision and I went to listen to it.
Jt made an impression on me. FUUng me with faith in her words was so cJear that
any doubt of the treatments did not fit me.
God was healing by means of the Urine
Returning in the evening to my house I remembered but I could not
85 do the therapy, but immediately I requested God to help me start the method.
The following day I spoke to Sonia the Chemist and commented to her that I had
tonsillitis. She answered me, I now have greater reason to initiate with the
therapy. I started the therapy and on the third day after the tonsillitis disappeared.
This mortal disease of diabetes was taken by its roots from me and in
gratefulness to God of love, goodness and mercy I am cured.
I did my fasting of 3 days.
To conclude,
t presented that May 7th of this year, to get tested to see the count of my sugar.
Before taking my Urine my count was 348.
I was taken by surprise that my sugar was completely normal.
Later and better yet, I confessed to my Medical doctor that for the last 18 days
I had not taken any of his prescribed drugs.
This was after I drank between 4 and 5 glasses of Urine daily. In addition, for ten
days I was eating everything and most with sugar.
Also I said to him that two days before my analysis I had loaded my body with
sugar. After eating many fresh sugar waters and foods with sugar it was a double
surprise for my doctor and for the hospital care takers.
They tried to explain to me that diabetes is a traitor and that I would have to
continue doing the examination every month, to which 1 refused.
Immediately I took leave of my Doctor
thanking him for receiving his medical attentions.
People invigorate yourself with hope. You are not at the end of life.
Give yourself to God and do this therapy in his name so you will be healed as I
will continue my fasting and prayers for all.

. Hold the
energy at the sacrum for a while, then exhale but hold your atten-
tion at the sacrum.
Then let your sacrum and neck relax back to their normal
positions, this will help to activate the two pumps, sacrum and
cranial pump. At the same time do the testicle breathing. Bring the
energy up to the sacrum again, hold it there till you can feel the
sacrum open and the energy gradually move up. You can actually
feel the cold energy move up a little at a time. If you're having
trouble feeling this, try rocking your sacrum back and forth and
then hold still and observe the effect of this pumping.
There's an indentation in the sacrum bone and that's where
you draw your testes' "cold" energy. This particular area is usu-
ally a little difficult to work because sperm energy is denser than
chi and has to be pumped up. So that's where that pump comes in.The Dance Of The Testes 77
Some people experience pain, or tingling or pins and needles when
the "cold" enters the hiatus, so don't be upset if it happens to you.
You can help get through the coccyx if you're having trouble by
gently massaging the area with a silk cloth from time to time.
5. If you've managed to go up through your coccyx, spend the next
week drawing the cold to T-11 in your mid-back (the 11th thoracic
vertebra). Do it in the same manner, with an inhale-exhale at the
testes and sucking it up your spinal "straw" to the perineum,
sacrum, T-11 (opposite your solar plexus, at the last "floating"
rib). Pull up and retain at T-11 till it feels full and continues to open
and move up by itself. Again, because sperm energy is denser than
chi, you have to accomodate to it by flexing that part of your back
in and out to straighten it. That loosens it for freer passage of the
"cold" energy.
At the T-11 adrenal glands energy center, sitting atop your
kidneys. In Taoist practice we regard this as a mini pump, where
your arch will create a vacuum to push up the energy higher.
6. Your next stopping place is at your jade pillow. This is at the
back of your head, between C-l and the base of the skull. Do it in
the same manner as discribed by inhale-exhale at the testicle and
keep on pumping up the energy up to perineum sacrum, T-11 and
the base of skull. In this area is a place to store the energy for
further use.
7. Your next stopping point is Pai Hui, at the crown of your head.
Do it in the same manner only this time fill the straw to the top. Tilt
the sacrum to the back in order to straighten the curve out a little
bit to help activate the pump action. This gets the lower pumping
going. At the same time you tuck in your chin a little and squeeze
the back of your skull, it will activate the upper cranial pump. Keep
on pulling up to the point dead center on top of the head.
8. When the energy finally goes up into your head, men will have
the very distinct feeling that it's spinning and usually in a clockwise
direction, as you look up. If you're alert you can count 36 revolu-
tions. It should feel good and refreshing; the extra energy should
help your creative power and improve your memory. You can
think more clearly, and are at the beginning stage of controlling78 Taoist Secrets Of Love
your sexual urges or frustrations. This sperm energy is later con-
verted into chi, the original life force, in the spiritual levels of
Taoist yoga. When people get older they've used up so much of
their chi that the brain energy and spinal fluid gradually drain out
and dry up, leaving a cavity. The testicle breathing transports the
sexual energy to fill the cavity and vitalize the brain. Taoists regard
the sexual energy as very close to the brain energy.
9. Finally you can bring the sexual energy from the testes up to the
head in one sweet draw up the straw, a single clean inhale. In the
beginning you can just go from station to station, till you feel the
back channel (governor channel) is more open. Eventually you will
be able to put your mind in the testicles and the crown of the head
and just mentally move the sexual energy from the testicles up all
the way to the brain.
10. Take your time to really feel the "cold" when you practice.
Don't rush it, and always keep those pumps going as you breath in
and out. Use more mind than physical pull when you do all this.
Let the "cold" feeling be your guide. Work at it too hard and you'll
heat up the "cold" ching. You won't be able to safely store this hot
energy in your brain.

THE GOLDEN NECTAR
When your head is filled with sperm energy the excess ching may
spontaneously combust with the chi in your higher centers and spill
over into the Microcosmic Orbit and flow down through your pal-
ate and down the tongue. This will taste different to different
people. It's generally called the Golden Nectar but it can taste like
champagne, honey, coconut juice, or fragrance of all kinds of
things, or it can simply feel like a warm tingling sensation on your
tongue.
This exercise, the "Dance of the Testes", may be performed
anywhere: in the subway or car, at your desk or television, in bed,
etc. The main consideration is that the back be properly straight,
chest relaxed, and scrotum hanging freely.
It is highly desirable to use the testicle breathing to tone the
pelvic diaphragm. The whole lower abdomen is deeply massaged
each time the pelvic diaphragm flexes. Life force flows into the
region through periodic waves of breath which stimulate the glands
and vital organs.
COMPRESSING THE AIR INTO THE SCROTUM INCREASES
SEXUAL POWER
Many benefits of the Testicle Breathing are magnified when per-
formed in conjunction with the Scrotal Compression exercise. This
exercise reduces the incidence of nocturnal emission and pre-
mature ejaculation. It lessens the chance of hernia. It helps you
calm down when sexually over-excited by teaching you to con-
sciously direct energy into and out of the pelvic region. It builds
your sexual power dynamically by using the vital chi taken from air
and packing its charge into your ching chi.
Of the three suggested positions, sitting or standing are prefer-
able. Inhale a fairly large amount of air into the throat and swallow
the air. Swallowing drives the air down to the solar plexus. From
this center it will be driven down to the testes. This is accom-
plished by contracting the abdominal muscles downward in a slow
wave.
From the solar plexus the air is rolled down into the pelvic
region. From there it is compressed into the testes. When the air is
driven into the testes you experience a flush of heat. The testes80 Taoist Secrets Of Love
seem to expand, and after a short time the power driven into them
flows up the spine to the head, which also becomes very warm.
SCROTAL COMPRESSION EXERCISE: STEP BY STEP
1. Sit on the edge of your chair with your feet flat on the floor about
a shoulder apart. Wear loose pants or wear nothing from your waist
down, so your testicles literally hang out.
2. Inhale through the nostrils into the throat. From there swallow
the air down to the solar plexus, midway between your heart and
your navel. Imagine the air as a ball.
3. First the ball sits behind the solar plexus. From this point roll it
down to the navel. Then into the pelvis and scrotum.
4. Forcibly compress the air into the scrotum for as long as you can
do so. The minimum period for each compression should be 30 to
40 seconds. Slowly work up to at least one minute. Every single
scrotal compression shoots tremendous energy into the testes.
With compression of an entire minute the exercise takes full effect.
The anal sphincter and perineum muscle must be squeezed tight
during this exercise to prevent leakage of energy.
5. When you have finished the compression, exhale and relax com-
pletely. If saliva accumulates in the mouth during compression,
swallow it before exhaling.
6. After complete exhalation take a number of quick, short breaths
to recover your wind. Dart the air in and out of the nostrils to
quickly regain capacity for another compression. Remember to
breath through the nose, and do not inhale unduly large quantities
of air. This is called "Bellows Breathing", because you must pump
your lower abdomen in and out quickly in order to do it.
This exercise quickly charges the


 Mother, and you’ll look beyond the temporariness of their
appearances to see the Tao unfolding. This is what Lao-tzu means when he
asks you to know the children not as separate from their Mother, but as theMother herself. So see all of creation as originating in the Mother, and then
“go back and hold on to” her.
How do you embark on this return trip to your eternal Mother? Lao-tzu
advises that you close your mouth and seal your ears to ensur e that your
spirit isn’t frittered away on worldly activities. In other words,  spend time
with the maternal part of yourself, and seek clarity by noticing the Tao in
the small and the large. Practice abandoning rigidity, and instead cultivate
elasticity to improve your stren gth. Lao-tzu concludes by telling you that
this way of seeing the world is “the practice of eternal light.” See that light
in the tiniest insect, and even in the invisible particle that forms that little
creature’ s leg. It’s the same light that beats your heart and holds the
universe in place—so allow yourself to not just be in awe of the insect but
to be that insect. In this way, you find clarity through “seeing the small,”
and you’ll improve the power of your new way of seeing through your
flexible viewpoi nt. Change your linear thoughts about your presence here
on Earth, and begin to see your life change right before your eyes!
Lao-tzu offers the following to you, through me, to aid you in “the
practice of eternal light” in today’ s world:
Open mouth—spirit escapes. Closed mouth—spirit connection
excellent!
Think of your mouth as a gate that guards your spirit: When you speak to
others, become conscious of the need to close the door and allow your spirit
to be safely ensconced within you. Make the same mental shift with your
ears: Keep them sealed when it comes to rumors and petty conversations.
Use fewer words; commit yourself to long periods of listening; and
eliminate giving advice, meddling, and participating in gossip.
Cultivate your strength with the flexibility of consciously deciding when
to involve your speaking and auditory senses. When you’re inclined to get
into other people’ s business, remember that your eternal Mother ’s one and
only voice is silence. Do likewise, and you’ll feel yourself holding on to her
in freedom and bliss, thus returning while living!
Seeing the smallest mystery r eveals the grandest mystery.By being attentive to smallness, you cultivate your desire for clarity.
Noting the same spark in microscopic creatures that animates you is a way
of exploring life as a return trip rather than a dead end. What seem to be the
tiniest mysteries of life lead to an experience of the shining radiance that
comes from an appreciation for all that you encounter. You and the Mother
who birthed you and everything else are one. By seeing the small, you gain
this clarity, which is the return trip you’re encouraged to make while alive.
Now your world begins to look very different, as you see originating spirit
everywhere. Nothing is viewed as ordinary, inferior, or unwanted anymore.
Do the T ao Now
Plan a day dedicated to examining the smallest life-forms that you can
find. Become a witness to a spider creating a web, a sand crab scurrying
along the beach, or a fly buzzing about on the wall. Take an imaginary trip
through your insides, examining the life-forms that reside in your intestines,
in your bloodstream, or in the lining of your eyes—all creatures that you’d
need a powerful microscope to be able to see. Meditate on the Mother
birthing these little bacteria in order for you to exist. Experience the way
viewing your body through the infinitesimally tiny life that’s part of you
affects you. Living by returning to the Mother will provide you with a
clarity you’ve never experienced before.
OceanofPDF.com53rd Verse
If I have even just a little sense,
I should walk in the Gr eat W ay,
and my only fear would be straying.

The Gr eat W ay is very smooth and straight,
and yet the people pr efer devious paths.
That is why the court is corrupt,
the fields lie in waste,
the granaries ar e empty.

Dressing magnificently,
wearing a sharp swor d,
stuffing oneself with food and drink,
amassing wealth to the extent of not knowing
what to do with it,
is being like a r obber.

I say this pomp at the expense of others
is like the boasting of thieves after a looting.
This is not the T ao.
OceanofPDF.comLiving Honorably
Imagine that you were able to view the world from a position of complete
honor and oneness: Everywhere you looked you saw the Great Way... and
saw all of it as you. From this perspective, every person who’ s ever existed,
or will ever exist, is a part of you, birthed by your Source. All of life—the
creatures, the land, the oceans, and the vegetation—are connected by the
Tao. From this perspective, your world would change dramatically. If a
critical mass of humanity had this same perspective, seeing the whole  globe
as part of ourselves would translate to the same respect for every form of
life that we have for our individual bodie s. And this unity would make the
scene that Lao-tzu is describing in this passage impossible.
Despite all of our technological advances, the words that the great
Chinese master wrote 2,500 years ago still apply. Unfortunately, we’re far
removed from walking the Great Way, for we continue to see great
divisions rather than a sense of unified oneness. As Lao-tzu admonishes at
the end of this verse, “This is not the T ao.”
One of my favor ite translations of this 53rd verse of the Tao Te Ching was
written in 1944 by W itter Bynner. He expresses it perfectly:
See how fine the palaces
And see how poor the farms,
How bar e the peasants’ granaries
While gentry wear embr oideries
Hiding sharpened arms.
And the mor e they have the mor e they seize,
How can ther e be such men as these
Who never hunger, never thirst,
Yet eat and drink until they burst!
You can see that these conditions still exist today: Whole continents of
people experience starvation, while a few in positions of power live in
opulence and grandeur. Weapons of destruction receive funding, whilemillions live in poverty. Leaders sit down to overflowing plenitude, while
the masses scrounge around for ways to feed their families and heat their
homes. W e have a long way to go before traversing that smooth and straight
Way of the Tao, for we still take “devious paths” and see the all-too-painful
results of this choice every day. But I’m not writing these words to try to
change the world in one fell swoop; rather, I’m doing so to encourage you
to change the way you see your world. If you make that modification,
others will gravitate toward living honorably as well. When enough of us do
this, we’ll reach a critical mass that will eliminate “the boasting of thieves
after a looting.”
Begin by seeing yourself as the environment, rather than as an organism
within it. I’ve even coined a word to describe when life-forms are whole,
rather than separate: envir onorganisms. Understand that you can’t survive
apart from what it seems isn’t part of you—for you absolutely are the air,
the water, the plants, the animals, and everyone else on the planet. Change
your worldview to one that completely understands that when anyone else
is starving or living in poverty, so are you. See yourself in all others and
you’ll find the compassion, love, and willingness that replaces  your belief
in your uniqueness and dif ferentness.
Lao-tzu was obviously distressed by the conditions of hardheartedness
and indifference that he observed in ancient China, so he appealed to all to
live honorably through the emulation of the Tao rather than from the ego
perspective of separateness. And now he asks you to change the way you
look at the blatant imbalances in 53rd Verse your world, noting how your
world changes to align with the T ao when you live honorably.
Here are his suggestions, which you can apply to your life today:
Make compassion the essential foundation of your personal philosophy.
Feeling guilty about what you’ve amassed or wallowing in sadness over
the plight of the starving won’ t change things, but making compassion the
essential founda tion of your philosophy will. This is one of the most
significant ways of initiating the growth of a critical mass. As that mass
grows, kind hearts and actions will realign our planet: Like-minded leaders
will emer ge, and gross inconsistencies will be reduced and eventually
eliminated. Moth er Teresa was an outstanding example of how one person’ sway of seeing the world can change the world itself: “[I]n each [person I
see],” she said, “I see the face of Christ in one of his more distressing
disguises.”
“Walk in the Great Way” by doing charity work or supporting candidates
for public office who embody compassionate action. And vow to make a
difference on a daily basis throughout your life, which might be as simple
as refusi ng to


 with stories and pictures in the newspaper, the boy was awarded a beautiful collie puppy.
In relating this story, the grandmother told me that if the boy had been given the money with which to buy
a dog, the parents would have refused to do so and would have used it to buy a bond for the boy or put it in
the savings bank for him. Furthermore, if someone had made the boy a gift of a dog, they would have
refused it or given it away. But the dramatic manner in which the boy got the dog, the way he won the
citywide contest, the stories and pictures in the newspaper, the pride of achievement and joy of the boy
himself all combined to bring about a change of heart in the parents, and they found themselves doing that
which they never conceived possible they allowed him to keep the dog.
All this the grandmother explained to me, and she concluded by saying that there was one particular kind of
dog on which the boy had set his heart. It was a collie.
This was told by the aunt in the story to the entire audience at the conclusion of one of my lectures.
During the question period following my lecture on the law of assumption, a lady who had attended many
lectures and had had personal consultation with me on a number of occasions rose and asked
permission to tell a story illustrating how she had successfully used the law.
She said that upon returning home from the lecture the week before, she had found her niece distressed and
terribly upset. The husband of the niece, who was an officer in the Army Air Force stationed in Atlantic
City, had just been ordered, along with the rest of his unit, to active duty in Europe. She tearfully told her
aunt that the reason she was upset was that she had been hoping her husband would be assigned to Florida
as an Instructor. They both loved Florida and were anxious to be stationed there and not to be separated.
Upon hearing  this  story,  the  aunt  stated  that  there  was  only one  thing  to  do  and  that  was to  apply
immediately the law of assumption. "Let's actualize it," she said. "If you were actually in Florida, what
would you do? You would feel the warm breeze. You would smell the salt air. You would feel your toes
sinking down into the sand. Well, let's do all that right now."
They took off their shoes and turning out the lights, in imagination they felt themselves actually in Florida
feeling the warm breeze, smelling the sea air, pushing their toes into the sand.
Forty-eight hours later the husband received a change of orders. His new instructions were to report
immediately to Florida as an Air Force Instructor. Five days later his wife was on a train to join him. While
the aunt, in order to help her niece to attain her desire, joined in with the niece in assuming the state of
consciousness required, she did not go to Florida. That was not her desire. On the other hand, that was the
intense longing of the niece.
This case is especially interesting because of the short interval of time between the application of this law
of assumption and its visible manifestation.
A very prominent woman came to me in deep concern. She maintained a lovely city apartment and a large
country home; but because the many demands made upon her were greater than her modest income, it was
Neville - THE  POWER  OF  AWARENESS.doc                                                          Page 41 of 51absolutely essential that she rent her apartment if she and her family were to spend the summer at their
country home.
In previous years the apartment had been rented without difficulty early in the spring, but the day she came
to me the rental season for summer sublets was over. The apartment had been in the hands of the best real
estate agents for months, but no one had been interested even in coming to see it.
When she had described her predicament I explained how the law of assumption could be brought to bear
on solving her problem. I suggested that by imagining the apartment had been rented by a person desiring
immediate occupancy and by assuming that this was the case, her apartment actually would be rented. In
order to create the necessary feeling of naturalness the feeling that it was already a fact that her apartment
was  rented  ~  I  suggested  that  she  drift  off  into  sleep  that  very  night,  imagining  herself,  not  in  her
apartment, but in whatever place she would sleep were the apartment suddenly rented. She quickly grasped
the idea and said that in such a situation she would sleep in her country home even though it was not yet
opened for the summer.
This interview took place on Thursday. At nine o'clock the following Saturday morning she phoned me
from her home in the country excited and happy. She told me that on Thursday night she had fallen asleep
actually imagining and feeling that she was sleeping in her other bed in her country home many miles away
from the city apartment she was occupying. On Friday, the very next day, a highly desirable tenant, one
who met all her requirements as a responsible person, not only rented the apartment, but rented it on the
condition that he could move in that very day.
Only the most complete and intense use of the law of assumption could have produced such results in this
extreme situation.
Four years ago a friend of our family asked that I talk with his twenty-eight-year-old son who was not
expected to live.
He was suffering from a rare heart disease. This disease resulted in a disintegration of the organ. Long and
costly medical care had been of no avail. Doctors held out no hope for recovery. For a long time the son
had been confined to his bed. His body had shrunk to almost a skeleton, and he could talk and breathe only
with great difficulty. His wife and two small children were home when I called, and his wife was present
throughout our discussion.
I started by telling him that there was only one solution to any problem, and that solution was a change of
attitude. Since talking exhausted him, I asked him to nod in agreement if he understood clearly what I said.
This he agreed to do. I described the facts underlying the law of consciousness in fact that consciousness
was  the  only  reality.  I  told  him  that  the  way  to  change  any  condition  was  to  change  his  state  of
consciousness concerning it. As a specific aid in helping him to assume the feeling of already being well, I
suggested that in imagination, he see the doctor's face expressing incredulous amazement in finding him
recovered, contrary to all reason, from the last stages of an incurable disease, that he see him double

He told me that from the day I left he never had any doubt that "it" would work. He described how he had
faithfully followed the suggestion I had made to him and day after day had lived completely in the

This story illustrates the successful use of the law by a New York business executive.
In the fall of 1950 an executive of one of New York's prominent banks discussed with me a serious
problem  with  which  he  was  confronted.  He  told  me  that  the  outlook  for  his  personal  progress  and
advancement was very dim. Having reached middle age and feeling that a marked improvement in position
and income was justified, he had "talked it out" with his superiors. They frankly told him that any major
improvement was impossible and intimated that if he was dissatisfied, he could seek another job. This, of
course, only increased his uneasiness. In our talk he explained that he had no great desire for really big
money but that he had to have a substantial income in order to maintain his home comfortably and to
provide  for  the  education  of  his  children  in  good  preparatory  schools  and  colleges.  This  he  found
impossible on his present income. The refusal of the bank to assure him of any advancement in the near
future resulted in a feeling of discontent and an intense desire to secure a better position with considerably
more money. He confided in me that the kind of job he would like better than anything in the world was

-Spirit - Truth about Asthma
https://health-science-spirit.com/Diseases/Asthma.html 6/10Mycoplasmas have been shown to be a main factor or contributing factor in the causation many chronic diseases, including cancer,
arthritic and rheumatic diseases, autoimmune diseases and asthma. Several independent researchers have reported the proliferation
of certain microbes in all of these diseases. In various degenerative diseases these protein units grow into cocci and higher bacterial
forms and ﬁnally into fungi.
Everyone seems to have some mycoplasmas, which are formed from the breakdown of body tissue. However, mycoplasmas begin to
proliferate with a decline in health and vitality.
By weakening the immune system and the metabolism they prepare the way for the development of degenerative diseases. Toxins
released by mycoplasmas may also interfere directly with the respiratory chain and make the metabolism inefﬁcient with an
overproduction of lactic acid. This causes general overacidity, mineral deﬁciencies, over-sensitivity, inﬂammations and pain.
Two factors that greatly contribute to the rise of mycoplasma are dead teeth and overgrowth of the intestines with harmful microbes.
Dead teeth and the surrounding jawbone can become concentrated breeding grounds of harmful microbes, releasing a steady stream
of toxins into the circulation.
In one study 31 of 55 patients with chronic, stable asthma also had a low-grade airway infection with mycoplasma pneumoniae, or
with chlamydia bacteria. These patients were treated with suitable anti-microbials for six weeks and had signiﬁcant improvements in
lung function.
According to researchers asthmatics  with mycoplasma infection had six times more mast cells than patients with no infection. Mast
cells are associated with allergies. In a mouse model with mycoplasma infection the airways become hyperreactive and inﬂamed.
Conventional medicine regards mycoplasmas, similar to Candida, as relatively harmless and occurring as a side effect of other, more
serious infections. However, extensive clinical and microbiological evidence shows that mycoplasmas alone can cause a range of
diseases even when no other infectious agents are present. The elimination of these pathogenic mycoplasmas requires a fully
functional immune system in addition to prolonged anti-microbial therapy.
For further information see Candida and the Antibiotic Syndrome.
THE STRESS F ACTOR
There are signs that asthmatics are sensitive to stress or have a low stress tolerance. The adrenal glands and their hormones are
mainly involved with our response to stress.
Stress can be beneﬁcial when it is voluntary as in a self-chosen adventure or when it is over short periods followed by rest and
recovery periods. The detrimental ef fect comes from prolonged, unusually severe or chronic stress.
A common example of unusually severe stress is when a newborn baby is separated for more than a few minutes from its mother. An
example of combined unusually severe and prolonged stress is when a newborn baby is kept away from its mother for days or weeks
and subjected to medical procedures.
A common example of chronic stress is when a baby is fed a breast milk substitute to which it is allergic. This sets in train a sequence
of events that lead directly to asthma and other chronic degenerative diseases.
In 1936 Hans Selye, a Canadian professor of experimental medicine and surgery, discovered the ALLERGY -STRESS MECHANISM.
He described this in his pioneering book The Stress of Life (McGraw-H ill). So far the medical profession has not yet grasped the
importance of his fundamental discovery for understanding the diseases of our society, I assume because it is not proﬁtable to do so.
However, in light of this stress model of disease we know now what we need to do to heal ourselves.
Initially an environmental challenge such as an incompatible food or emotional stress causes an ALARM REACTION. The adrenal
glands release inﬂammatory hormones and adrenalin, and the sympathetic nervous system is over-stimulated. This may result in an
acute allergic reaction or a general inﬂammatory condition, hyper-excitability, palpitation, anxiety, eczema, susceptibility to colds and
other infections, anger, and poor digestion with abdominal discomfort.
Commonly this alarm reaction occurs in early childhood when we are ﬁrst introduced to wheat or cows' milk, egg, maize or soymilk,
and then settles down to several decades of hidden allergies with minimal symptoms.
If we continue eating the same problem food nearly every day or continue to be plagued by stressful memories or conditions, then the
stress becomes permanent and the body adapts by releasing anti-inﬂammatory hormones. The symptoms of the alarm reaction with
its inﬂammatory tendency subside. This is the RESIST ANCE PHASE, a state of adaptation with a hidden or masked allergy.
However, eventually the capacity of the adrenal glands to produce sufﬁcient anti-inﬂammatory hormones becomes exhausted and we
enter the EXHAUSTION PHASE. Now we have a maladaptation to allergens and emotional stress with chronic and generalized
inﬂammations. These may manifest as asthma, arthritis, cancer, heart disease and any of the other diseases typical in our society.
Finally even this chronic inﬂammatory condition subsides and we have the stage of advanced old age with senility, debility and the
ﬁnal insensitive stages of degenerative diseases.
This description shows the normal progression of the stress-allergy mechanism over decades of our lives; however, if our parents
had already weak adrenal glands when we were conceived, or if we endured severe and prolonged stress immediately after birth,
then our adrenal glands are already severely compromised even as a baby.
In this case we may develop an age-related chronic disease at an early age. This may be arthritis or asthma or diabetes or a form of
cancer. Which disease develops depends on inherited factors as well as on environmental and emotional factors.10/30/24, 3:31 PM Health-Science-Spirit - Truth about Asthma
https://health-science-spirit.com/Diseases/Asthma.html 7/10Fear has a direct relationship with our heart rate and breathing. Initially we may hold our breath, and later hyperventilate and have
palpitations. It is my perception that anything that interferes with the proper bonding of a newborn baby with the mother has the
potential to induce a permanent subconscious fear in the growing child.
In particular I believe that a main contributor to asthma is the fear of being left alone or being abandoned which remains
subconsciously for life if the newborn baby is taken away from the mother for an extended period in hospital.
This subconscious fear weakens the adrenal glands and also affects the lungs. This is the reason why the antibiotic syndrome,
allergic reactions and mucic acid in these individuals lead preferentially to breathing problems rather than to digestive or nervous
system disorders, or to sinus inﬂammations and throat infections as in some other individuals.
Researchers in the US and German y have shown a clear link between asthma and mental illness. Even people suffering from milder
forms of asthma are more prone to anxiety and other mental disorders.
Severe asthmatics were up to ﬁve times more likely than the general population to have a range of mental problems, including
anxiety disorders, panic attacks and extreme shyness. Even with milder forms of asthma there were up to two-and-a-half times more
mental problems (The W orld Today - 2 December 2003).
5. WHA T YOU CAN DO
The described sequence of events leading to asthma also shows you the requirements for genuine health improvement and to
overcome asthma. Basically you need to
1. Sanitize your gastro-intestinal tract
2. Eliminate harmful microbes from your blood and lungs
3. Avoid cows’  milk and lactose
4. Avoid other sources of mucus congestion and inﬂammation
5. Remove chronic stress from your life.
Initially it is also prudent to continue minimizing or avoiding asthma triggers, rebuilding and strengthening health with an improved
diet and suitable supplements, and minimize the ef fects of chronic stress such as over-breathing.
SANITIZING THE GASTRO-INTESTINAL  TRACT
The main treatment for Candida and the antibiotic syndrome is directed at sanitizing the gastro-intestinal tract. This is combined with
a low-allergy diet that is also low in simple carbohydrates. Furtherm ore, molds or yeasts in food should be avoided as their
breakdown products may cause unpleasant immune reactions.
One unpleasant side-ef fect of most methods used to reduce the pathoge nic microbial overgrowth of the intestines is the Herxheimer
reaction - a sudden worsening of symptoms due to toxins released by the dead or dying microbes. This is sometimes used as a
diagnostic tool, especially for Candida.
To avoid or minimize unpleasant side effects I recommend initially ﬂushing out the gastro-intestinal tract when taking anti-microbial
remedies. This takes the dead or dying microbes immediately out of the body and greatly minimizes discomfort. After several days
the ﬂush may no longer be needed. Usually the ﬁrst reaction is the strongest.
An alternative approach is to start with a low dose of an anti-microbial and increase only very slowly. In this way the die-of f symptoms
are milder but remain for much longer. With this method it is especially important to maintain a strict diet. I generally prefer the ﬂush
method, but if you cannot use that for any reason, then try this slow approach.
Another principle is to take a high dose of probiotics or beneﬁcial lactobacteria 30 to 60 minutes after

and the other children of the family from their V irginia
home to W ashington, D.C., to see the P.T. Barnum Cir cus.
To a boy from a farm this was a great event!  After seeing
the big cir cus show in the big tent, they visited the “Side Show” tent where all the unusual, so-called “freaks” were
exhibited. There were fat men and women – some
weighing as much as 600 pounds – dwarfs, giants, the
bearded lady, the monkey man and others.
But the one that most fascinated my dad was the
lady who had turned to stone. There was a woman on a
bed who was so full of arthritis and acid cr ystals that
she had no feeling left in her petrified body. She lay
helpless and rigid. She could move only her eyes. This
lady suffered from complete ankylosis – meaning that
no joint in her entire body could make a simple
movement. All the ner ve tissue in her body was
paralyzed and dead – they could actually drive nails

That poor lady in the side show was a victim of this

to flush those inor ganic minerals out of her body, so
they deposited themselves in her joints. This was an
unusual and extreme case, of course. But we’ve seen
many, many cases of ar thritics who were complete
cripples, absolutely helpless. There are more than 20
million people young and old living in the United States
today who suffer from arthritis to some degree.

 which then block the artery altogether.
If this occurs in the coronary arteries, which surround and supply the heart, it will cause a heart
attack; if in the brain, the result will be a stroke.
The Gerson treatment is exceptionally effective in not only reducing harmful cholesterol,
but also in dissolving plaque and clearing the arteries for normal blood flow. Cases of cholesterol
reduction by 100 points without drugs in just one week have been seen. The diet free from meats,
fats, milk products, eggs, etc., contributes greatly to this success. But there is another important
factor: the use of flax seed oil. Cold pressed from organically grown flax seeds, as discovered by
Dr. Johanna Budwig 1, it is high in the important Omega 3 and low in the Omega 6 fatty acids.
This ratio causes the excess cholesterol to be dissolved and carried off via the bloodstream and
the liver.
(By way of contrast, a high cholesterol diet is high in Omega 6 and seriously deficient in
Omega 3 fatty acids.)
As an immediate result of embarking on the Gerson Therapy, patients present a more normal
level of cholesterol, and they are able to stop taking the statin drugs prescribed by their doctors.
These drugs represent one of the largest markets for any prescription medication; they are liver-
toxic, but doctors feel impelled to use them to prevent heart attacks and strokes. By being able
to do without statins, patients on the Gerson program avoid yet another source of toxicity. Any
remaining cholesterol surplus is easily eliminated by the niacin (vitamin B-3), which is an integral
part of the Gerson protocol. Of course smoking, another source of elevated cholesterol, is strictly
banned on the therapy.
The Gerson treatment not only helps to clear arteries of plaque, (which medicine claims
cannot be done), thus avoiding strokes or more serious second heart attacks. It is also a natural
method of prevention, even in people who may have a genetic predisposition to heart disease, and
has also helped patients, who have already suffered a heart attack or stroke, to recover and even
restore some lost functions.
Case History: In December 1993, the 87-year-old father of recovered Gerson patient M.
W. suffered a heart attack. After the ambulance delivered him to the Emergency Room, he had a
stroke. Subsequently he spent 3 weeks in the hospital’s intensive care unit, was given a pacemaker
and a great deal of drugs, and eventually his wife was told to take him to a nursing home. M.W,
however, persuaded her mother to take him home instead, and immediately rushed to join her
parents. She was shocked at the sight of her father, sitting in a wheelchair, head drooping to one
side, drooling. But she worked with him day and night, cautiously putting him on the Gerson

www.thegersonway.comTherapy. At first she gave him a few juices while he was still taking all the prescribed drugs, and
then slowly increased the intensity of the protocol. In three months the old gentleman was out of
his wheelchair. In August 1994, eight months after the heart attack and stroke, he walked into the
Department of Motor Vehicles office and applied for—and got—a driver’s license. He remained
well, celebrated his 90th birthday in August 1996, and passed away a few years later.
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
Blood pressure, i.e., the pressure exerted by the blood against the walls of arteries, plays
an important role in health or disease. The average normal blood pressure is 120/80. When it
rises over 140/90, it is considered abnormal and dangerous, linked to kidney disease and, as
a contributory factor, to coronary artery and cerebral vascular disease. The standard medical
response is to reduce the pressure with drugs, which, patients are told, they must take for the rest
of their lives in order to preserve their kidneys.
The increase in pressure can have many causes. The chief one is the narrowing of the blood
vessels, essentially by cholesterol deposits forming plaque. Other causes include kidney disease,
coronary artery disease, and hyperthyroidism (over-activity of the thyroid gland). Stress, nervous
tension or excitement can cause a temporary rise of the blood pressure.
The standard allopathic medical treatment involves mainly the statin family of drugs. These
reduce blood pressure, sometimes by as much as 25-35 mmHg ( millimeters on the mercury scale
used for measuring). However, they are highly liver toxic. Moreover, doctors rarely inform their
male patients that the statins cause impotence. This is not surprising, if we consider that the drug
relaxes the pressure exerted on the arteries—including the pressure needed to cause an erection.
Many marriages have been destroyed due to the effects of this drug.
Since hypertension is generally believed to respond only to palliative drug treatment while
remaining incurable, it may come as a surprise that it is easily overcome with the salt-free,
vegetarian basis of the Gerson program. At the start of the treatment the patient continues to take
the prescribed allopathic medication, but needs to reduce the dose by 50% after three days on the
therapy, which has already started to work. By the sixth day the drug has to be cut out completely,
since the patient’s blood pressure has become normal, and to lower it further to an abnormally low
level might cause him or her to faint.
High blood pressure, together with heart disease, is the No.1 killer in the U.S.  Treated with
the Gerson Therapy, to which it responds easily and quickly, it would lose much of its menace,
and tens of thousands of lives could be saved every year.

(highly unpleasant  return of acid into the esophagus from the stomach), gastric ulcers, sleep
apnea (temporary cessation of breathing), pulmonary lung disease, diabetes, high blood pressure,
chronic fatigue, and depression. He had undergone triple by-pass surgery, and had tried Viagra,
then doubled the dose, without the hoped-for result.
17 months after starting the Gerson Therapy, all G.C.’s test results were within the normal
range. His last examination was a total metabolic work-up, including tests for his liver, kidneys
and all other essential organs. He reports that he is feeling great, has good energy—and no longer
needs to even think about Viagra.
In addition the patient’s wife had been doing the therapy alongside him. As a result her
monthly migraine headaches that had landed her in hospital with dry heaves and even blackouts
have ceased. She stopped smoking, looks younger, has better energy, and feels truly well.
Diabetes
Diabetes is the No.3 killer of Americans, following heart and circulatory disease and cancer.
We need to distinguish between two different types of the disease, namely juvenile, or ‘brittle’
diabetes, and age-onset diabetes mellitus. Both require a different approach, as set out below, but
generally speaking it is fair to say that “the usual suspect,” namely the modern American diet with
its excessively high sugar and fat content is largely to blame for the exponential rise in cases of
diabetes mellitus. If you add up all the sugar that an average American adult consumes daily in
the form of sweets, cookies, cakes, convenience foods, ice cream, and the worst culprits, namely
soft drinks, the sum total is pretty frightening. The human body and its most concerned organ, the
pancreas, are unable to deal with this onslaught, and after a while diabetes sets in. However, the
causation of juvenile diabetes is a different story…
Juvenile or ‘brittle’ diabetes is described as ‘insulin dependent,’ 2 which is correct, since
those suffering from it do not produce enough insulin to satisfy their bodies’ needs. Insulin is
a hormone, secreted by the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. It is essential for the proper
metabolism of blood sugar, and for the maintenance of proper blood sugar level. Insufficient
production of insulin is generally due to severe damage to, or infection of, the pancreas, which
leads to the Islets of Langerhans being damaged or partly destroyed. The remaining ones are
unable to produce enough insulin.
In many cases the problem starts in early childhood, hence the name ‘juvenile.’ Children
tend to catch colds and flu fairly often; their concerned parents take them to a pediatrician, who
routinely prescribes antibiotics. These suppress and temporarily clear the symptoms, but tend to
damage the children’s immune system. As a result, more infections develop until at some stage

Upton Sinclair, a fervent supporter of the hy-
gienic cause and author of the book The fasting
cure. Besides, he was also busy translating Her-

It must be said that discussion of "fasting" in the
USSR of the 50s and 60s was certainly difficult.
The specter of hunger was still very much alive
in the country. The nine hundred days of the
Nazi siege of Leningrad, with thousands of
deaths from starvat ion and numerous incidents
of cannibalism, as well as the challenging post -
war years characterized by scarcity of food had
left a profoundly mark on the collective uncon-
scious of the Soviet population and the memory

decade. However, Prof. Bakulev was able to di-
rect the attention of the scientific and medical
community to the possibility of applying thera-
peutic fasting, and Nikolayev was certainly

psychiatric practice, found constants worthy of
interest. He wrote:
"I noticed that some schizophrenia pa-
tients often give up eating and resist when
they are force -fed. I wondered if this renun-
ciation of food was not perhaps an instinc-
tive reaction to the sick organis m's defense.
So, I tried to treat these patients with a par-
adoxical method: the dosed fast”
In the late 1940s -1960s, Nikolayev intensified
his observations of schizophrenia patients who
became the object of his doctoral thesis, pre-
sented in 1960 under the title Razgruzochno- di-
eticheskaja terapiya shizofrenii i ee fiziolog-
icheskoe obosnovaniye  (RDT diet -fasting therapy

kolayev's selflessness in his work of furthering
therapeutic fasting would not have been success-
ful, had it not been for a decisive stroke of luck:
Nikolaeyv’s wife, also a psychiatrist employed in
the rehabilitation of alcoholics, happened to
handle the case of Lev Bulganin, son of an im-
portant man of t he party, the Chairman of the
Soviet Council of Ministers, N.A. Bulganin.
The Nikolayevs both treated the illustrious pa-
tient together and managed to cure him by ap-
plying the method of therapeutic fasting. The
powerful N.A. Bulganin, wishing to express gra t-
itude for his son’s healing, assured Dr. Nikolayev
his high protection. Thanks to this, Nikolayev
was able to freely conduct his research and

his observations.
Using fasting to treat thousands of cases of
schizophrenia and other psychic disorders, he
noted that, by eradicating the disease at the root,
fasting could heal several diseases simultane-
ously. Thus, with copious clinical results in hand
and the protection of the high -ranking official
Bulganin, Niko layev soon succeeded in intro-
ducing therapeutic fasting into clinical practice,
thus contributing to its approval by the Soviet
Ministry of Health.
In 1961, Nikolayev was appointed director of
the psychiatry program at the Rostov -on-Don
Medical Institute. During the two years in this
position he had managed to set up a school of

merous colleagues.
In the decades that followed, Nikolayev worked
in Moscow at the Soviet Scientific Research In-
stitute of Psychiatry an d coordinated the work of
the numerous fasting wards that had been
opened everywhere throughout the Soviet Un-
ion.
The development of the method benefited im-
mensely from the collection Problemy
lechebnogo golodaniya (Problems of therapeutic
fasting), published in Moscow in 1969. It com-
prised the contribution of scientists such as P.K.
Anokhin, A.A. Pokrovskiy, P.A. Fedorov, in ad-
dition to Nikolayev. It comprised approximately
sixty articles dedicated to therapeutic fasting in
psychiatric practice, to the neu rophysiology of

 expect to spend a life in bed or rolling around in a
wheelchair.
Schroth had other thoughts about the human body’ s potential. She’d
watched how balloons collapsed or expanded, pushing or pulling in
whatever was around them. The lungs, she felt, were no dif ferent. If she
could expand her lungs, maybe she could also expand her skeletal structure.
Maybe she could straighten her spine and improve the quality and quantity
of her life.
At age 16, Schroth began training herself in something called
“orthopedic breathing.” She would stand in front of a mirror, twist her body,
and inhale into one lung while limiting air intake to the other. Then she’d
hobble over to a table, sling her body on its side, and arch her chest back
and forth to loosen her rib cage while breathing into the empty space.
Schroth spent five years doing this. At the end, she’d ef fectively cured
herself of “incurable” scoliosis; she’d breathed her spine straight again.
Schroth began teaching the power of breathing to other scoliosis
patients, and by the 1940s she was running a bustling institute in rural
western Germany. It had no hospital rooms or other standard medical
equipment; just a few run-down buildings, a yard, a picket fence, and patio
tables. One hundred fifty scoliosis patients would gather there at a time.
They suf fered from the most severe form of the disease, with spines curved
more than 80 degrees. Many were so hunched over, their backs so twisted
and turned, that they couldn’ t walk or even look upward. Their disfigured
ribs and chests made it hard for them to take a breath, and they likely
suf fered from respiratory problems, fatigue, and heart conditions because of
it. Hospitals had given up on trying to heal these patients. They came to live
with Schroth for six weeks.
The German medical community derided Schroth, claiming that she was
neither a professional trainer nor a physician and was not qualified to treat
patients. She ignored them all; she kept doing things her way, having the
women strip down bare-chested in a dirt lot beneath a copse of beech trees,
stretching and breathing themselves back to health. W ithin a few weeks,
hunched backs straightened and many students gained inches in height.
W omen who had been bedridden and hopeless finally began to walk again.
They could take full breaths again.
Schroth spent the next 60 years bringing her techniques to hospitals
throughout Germany and beyond. T oward the end of her life, the medicalcommunity had changed its tune and the German government awarded
Schroth the Federal Cross of Merit for her contributions to medicine.
“What the bodily form depends on is breath (chi) and what breath relies
upon is form,” states a Chinese adage from 700 AD. “When the breath is
perfect, the form is perfect (too).”
Schroth continued to expand her lungs and improve her own breathing
and form throughout her life. This former scoliosis patient, who as a
teenager had been left to wither in bed, would die in 1985, just three days
shy of her 91st birthday.
•       •       •
Midway through my research for this book, I took a trip to New Y ork City
to meet a more contemporary breathing expert who of fered a dif ferent
approach to expanding the lungs and longevity. Her apartment workspace
was located a few blocks from the United Nations in a brown brick building
with an awning covered in pink-eyed pigeons. I walked past a drowsy
doorman, rode up an elevator, and a minute later I was knocking at room
418.
L ynn Martin welcomed me in. She was beanpole thin and dressed in a
black jumpsuit with an oversize brass-buckled belt. “I told you it was
small!” she said of the studio apartment. Surrounding us were manila
folders, human anatomy books, and a few plastic models of human lungs.
On a wall beside a bookshelf were black-and-white photos of Martin in the
early 1970s. In one, she was wearing a black leotard in mid-glide on the
wood floor of a dance studio, her blond hair pulled back in a lazy ponytail,
her face bearing an uncanny resemblance to Rosemary’ s Baby –era Mia
Farrow.
After a few pleasantries, Martin sat me down and started telling me what
I came to hear. “He was very verbal, but when you asked what exactly he
was doing, he could never explain it,” she said. “Nobody since has ever
been able to do what he did.”
The subject of intrigue was Carl Stough, a choir conductor and medical
anomaly who got his start in the 1940s. Of all the pulmonauts I’d come
across over the past several years, Stough was the most elusive. He
published one book in 1970, which quickly flopped and went out of print.
T wenty years later, a CBS producer put together a one-hour program abouthis groundbreaking work, but it never aired. Stough himself didn’ t advertise
his techniques. He never went on speaking tours. Even so, professional
opera singers, Grammy-winning saxophonists, paraplegics, and dying
emphysemics—thousands of them—managed to find him. Stough broke all
the rules; he expanded lungs and extended life spans. And yet, most people
today have never heard of him.
Martin had worked with Stough for more than two decades. She was a
living link to this mysterious man and his research in the lost art of
breathing. What Stough had discovered, and what Martin had learned, was
that the most important aspect of breathing wasn’ t just to take in air through
the nose. Inhaling was the easy part. The key to breathing, lung expansion,
and the long life that came with it was on the other end of respiration. It was
in the transformative power of a full exhalation.
—
Photographs of Stough from the 1940s show an upright man who bore a
passing resemblance to Thurston Howell III, the millionaire from Gilligan’ s
Island. Stough liked to sing and teach singing. He noticed how his fellow
singers would belt out a few measures, stop to take a breath, and then belt
out a few more. Each seemed to be gasping for air, holding it high in the
chest, and releasing it too soon. Singing, talking, yawning, sighing—any
vocalization we make occurs during the exhalation. Stough’ s students had
thin and weak voices because, he believed, they had thin and weak
exhalations.
While directing choirs at W estminster Choir College in New Jersey,
Stough began training his singers to exhale properly, to build up their
respiratory muscles and enlar ge their lungs. W ithin a few sessions, the
students were singing clearer, more robustly, and with added nuance. He
moved to North Carolina to conduct church choirs that went on to win
national competitions, and his choir appeared on a weekly program
broadcast nationally by Liberty Radio Network. Stough became so
renowned that he moved to New Y ork to retrain singers at the Metropolitan
Opera.
In 1958, the administration of the East Orange V eterans Af fairs Hospital
in New Jersey called. “Y ou must know something about breathing that we
don’ t,” said Dr. Maurice J. Small, the chief of tuberculosis management.
Small was wondering if Stough might be interested in training a new groupof students. None of them could sing, and a few couldn’ t walk or talk. They
were emphysema patients, and they were in desperate need of help.
When Stough arrived at the East Orange hospital weeks later, he was
horrified. Dozens of patients were laid out on gurneys, each one jaundiced
and pale, their mouths craned open like fish, oxygen tubes pumping to no
avail. The hospital staf f didn’ t know what to do, so they just wheeled the
men across the waxed terrazzo floors and into a room hung with faded-
yellow tissue dispensers and American flag clocks, one patient beside the
other, waiting to die. It had gone this way for 50 years.
“I foolishly had assumed that everyone had at least a rudimentary
knowledge of physiology,” Stough wrote in his autobiography, Dr. Br eath.
“Even more foolishly I had assumed that a universal awareness of the
importance of breathing existed. Nothing could have been farther from the
truth.”
Emphysema is a gradual deterioration of lung tissue marked by chronic
bronchitis and coughing. The lungs become so damaged that people with
the disease can no longer absorb oxygen ef fectively. They’re forced to take
several short breaths very fast, often breathing in far more air than they
need, but still feel out of breath. Emphysema had no known cure.
The nurses, meaning well, had placed cushions under patients’ backs so
that their chests were arched up. The idea was to create elevation to ease
inhalations. Stough instantly saw that this was making the condition worse.
Emphysema, he realized, was a disease of exhalation. The patients were

The Definite Cure of Chronic Constipation
BY PRO. ARNOLD EHRET
The Internal Uncleanliness of Man

  Chronic constipation is the worst and most common crime against life and mankind--a
crime unconsciously committed, and one whose full enormity is not yet fully realized. It
stands accused of being one of the principal causative factors of all physical and mental
diseases. I know as a fact, from my practical experience with thousands of chronically
diseased, that the life of man, and the extent of his mental and spiritual capabilities are
largely influenced by the condition of the alimentary tract. It is certainly very important
that the brain and nerves of man are supplied with pure blood, and are not dependent on
blood, polluted with impurities, arising from an unclean alimentary canal. "Unclean" is
too mild a word, when we are dealing with the worst kind of a filthy condition.
   It is a fact that man, the product of the present "civilized" society of this much vaunted
"advanced" twentieth century, is born unhealthy, because his mother, during pregnancy,
is almost invariably suffering from constipation. And I say further, that while in this
state, she usually eats two to three times as much as is necessary. This causes the so-
called normal, more or less healthy man, to be somewhat encumbered from infancy. And
to a much greater extent, is the constipated one--who is loaded with such a mass of
internal filth, that it can only be called "indescribable." His alimentary tract, reaching up
from the mouth of the anus to his throat, is filled with a morbid mucus--undigested,
decayed and retained food-substances, all of which are in a state of fermentation and
putrefaction. His intestines have never had a perfect cleansing during his entire life. At
the conclusion of each discharge, the anus must be artificially cleansed, which shows
that the internal walls of the intestines must also retain, after each passage, quantities of
this same filth.
   A physician of Berlin, whose life work was the performing of autopsies, stated that 60
per cent of all the corpses contained in the alimentary canal various foreign mater--
worms and putrefied feces--and he further stated that in nearly all cases the walls of the
intestines and colon were lined with a crust of hardened feces, making it evident that
these organs had degenerated to a state of utter inefficiency. Progressive American
physicians are rapidly awakening to the fact that retained fecal matter is one of the chief
causes of disease. Autopsies are constantly revealing indescribable filthy astounding
conditions. One physician publishes the following:   "I have found a prototype of the cause of all diseases of the human body, the
foundation of premature old age and death. Surprising as it may seem, out of two
hundred and eighty-four cases of autopsy held, but twenty-eight colons were found to be
free from hardened feces and in a normal and healthy state. The others, as described
above, were to a more or less extent incrusted with hardened, rotten, rejected food
material. Many were distended to twice their natural size throughout their whole length
with a small hole through the center and almost universally these last cases mentioned
had regular bowel evacuations daily. Some of them contained large worms from four to
six inches in length.
   "My experience from day to day developed startling discoveries in the form of worms
and nests of eggs, that we daily get from patients, accompanied by blood and pus. As I
stood looking at the colon and reservoir of death, I expressed myself in wonder that any
one can live a week, much less for years, with such a cesspool of death and contagion
always with him. The absorption of the deadly poison back into the circulation cannot
help but cause all the contagious diseases. The recent treatment of hemorrhage of the
bowels in typhoid fever has shown it to be caused by maggots and worms eating into the
sensitive membrane and tapping a vein or artery. In fact, my experience during the past
ten years has proven, by the rapid recovery of all diseases after the colon was cleansed,
that in the colon itself lies the basic cause of almost all human ailments."
   That this revolting and indescribable condition arises from the almost universal
ignorance of right selection of food, reveals why the "Mucus less Diet Healing System"
is such an important discovery and development for the regeneration of mankind.
   On the outside, the man of today is carefully groomed, perhaps unnecessarily and over
carefully clean; while inside he is dirtier than the dirtiest animal--whose anus is as clean
as its mouth, provided said animal has not been "domesticated" by "civilized" man.
   Long ago Naturopathy proved, that in every disease there is a constitutional
encumbrance of foreign matter, a clogging-up of the system. That statement of fact is not
sufficiently explicit. The encumbering matters, substances which would become
dangerous if they were foreign to the body, and of no use to the system, consist of
masses of accumulated feces, undigested food, morbid mucus, and retained superfluous
water, all in a state of fermentation and decomposition. Truly, chronically constipated
man constantly carries in his intestines a veritable cesspool, by which the blood stream
is continually polluted and poisoned, a fact which only a skilled observer can at once
detect by facial diagnosis. Official medical science and the inexpert layman do not
suspect "constipation" when the individual consumes from three to five meals a day,
while he is having one so-called, good bowel movement. Man imagines that his
"comfortable fatted" body is a sign of health; at the same time he is as much in fear of a
cold wind and "germs" as he is of the devil. When such a "well-fed" man who is usually
constipated, takes a fast or is put on a "mucus-less diet"--as I have advised hundreds as their last resort--will discharge masses of putrescent filth, fetid urine loaded with mucus,
salt, uric acid, fat, drugs, albumen and pus, according to his disease.
   The most surprising effect of these treatments is the immense quantity of the
discharged feces and the fetid exhalation from both the mouth and skin. But the most
important "discharge" is the elimination through the circulation into the urine. The urine
of everybody will then show a sediment of mucus as soon as he fasts a little or reduces
the quantity of his food, or makes a change toward natural, mucus less foods. Doctors
call it "disease" and it is in fact a self-cleansing process of the body.
   This self-elimination through the circulation is the body's most wonderful healing
work of every disease. To control this process by food and food quantities is the only
true, natural and most perfect therapeutic art of healing and is in no other "treatment" so
successfully accomplished as in the "Mucus less Diet Healing System."
   This elimination--especially that of the sick man after a long period of misery,
suffering and unsuccessful medical treatment--is man's "greatest event." He now realizes
what he had never thought of--and what only a few physicians in the world have ever
understood as I did, through thousands of cases--that mostly all civilized men are
walking, living cesspools, due to chronic constipation.
   All his former unsuccessful treatments now appear to him in a tragic-comical light. He
now knows exactly where the source of his suffering is to be found, no matter what the
name of the disease may be. He now understands that he was wrongly and ignorantly
treated by the doctors who "suppressed the disease," without eliminating the filth, which
was retained in his entire system, especially in his alimentary canal, since childhood, and
which condition constituted the principal causative factor of the disease.

The Effect of Laxatives
   I believe that neither physicians nor laymen really know or understand how and why
the body performs the laxative effect of these different remedies. Official medical
science knows very little about the "why" of the drugs. Their application is based upon
the experience only that each one has "a special effect."
   All laxatives contain more or less poisons, that is, to enter the circulation in a
concentrated form. The protective instinct of the body reacts instantly by a greater water
supply into the stomach from the blood in order to dissolve and weaken the dangerous
substance; the intestines are stimulated for increased and quickened activity, and so the
"solution" is discharged, only taking parts of the feces along. This is the physiological
explanation, and you can see that the effect is an abnormal stimulation of vitality in
general, and of the intestinal nerves in particular. It is an open secret that all laxatives
finally fail, because the constantly overloaded
