 cells from highly oxidative free radicals. Free
radicals are highly reactive and destructive compounds, which are by-
products of metabolism, radiation therapy, tissue infractions, chemicals and
foreign protein ingestion. Oxidative free radicals can damage cell membrane
walls, cellular mitochondria and cellular proteins. This affects energy
transport and the DNA itself, leading to cellular mutations. Free radicals also
destroy enzymes, the key to all chemistry changes. Many vitamins act ascoenzymes and antioxidants, attaching themselves
to, or absorbing, free
radicals. Proanthocyanidins are a popular form of antioxidant. They are
found in fruits, especially grapes and grape seeds. These antioxidants are now
sold in stores worldwide under the name of pycnogenol. Other antioxidants
are also available in supplemental form from health food stores. These
include vitamin A, vitamin E, CoQ10 and beta-carotene.
After thirty years of clinical observation, it is my opinion that obtaining
your antioxidants from your raw, unprocessed foods is far superior to buying
extracted, nonsynergistic types. This is because antioxidants work with
astringent and other biochemical properties in a synergistic manner, which
increases their effectiveness. One needs many antioxidants to achieve vitality,
and each one plays a major role in the process.
PHYTOCHEMICAL ASTRINGENTS

Astringents pull and constrict tissue, pulling toxicity and congestion (mucus)
out. At the same time these foods stimulate the lymphatic and blood flow
within the body, allowing the body to get rid of these toxins and mucus.
Some astringents can release trapped, foreign proteins, bind them together
and then carry them away to be eliminated. The lemon is one of the best
examples of a highly astringent food. You can feel the membranes in your
mouth pucker or constrict when you eat them. This astringent action takes
place throughout the body. Grapes have a similar action. Both are excellent
tumor busters. In other words, foods high in astringents (namely fruits) begin
detoxification—the process of internal cleansing of the body.
Tannic acid and various mineral salts, including zinc oxide, are the most
common astringent elements in foods. Eat your foods ripe, fresh and raw,
and you will not need to worry about their chemistry, only their power to
clean and heal.
Eating foods that are biologically suited for our species keeps us clean
and healthy inside. Only then can we become vital and dynamic. Never
underestimate the power of fruits to clean and sustain you. (Remember, it all
started with the apple.) Food has always been one of the main focuses for
humans, as it is for all animals. I quote an old naturopath, Hippocrates, “Let
your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food.”OTHER PHYTOCHEMICAL COM-POUNDS IN PLANTS

Acids
Acids are compounds that are low in pH, and corrosive and inflammatory to
your body. However, they serve a vital purpose in oxidation and ionization
of other nutrients and minerals within the body. They have a stimulating
effect upon cells and tissues. There are hundreds of acids. Many play a role in
protein, carbohydrate and fat synthesis. Acids react with metals to form salts,
which help to maintain body homeostasis. Acids liberate hydrogen ions
causing metabolic changes and utilization issues, much the same way that
ascorbic acid affects calcium and its utilization. Acids come in the form of
basic elements like nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur. When the root of a plant
takes in these basic elements, the plant transmutes these basic elements into
salts which then can be accepted by the human intestinal tract. Other plant
acids are found as alkaloids, ascorbic acid, and many other compounds.
Some hormones, steroids and digestive enzymes act as acids in your body.
Estrogen is an “acid-type” of a steroid, which dilates the capillaries and
creates bleeding in the uterus. As you can see, acids initiate change and
activity. They are also the byproducts of digestion and metabolism. An acid
we’re all familiar with is phosphoric acid, which is what makes soda pop
burn your mouth when you drink it.
Alcohols (see Essential Oils)
Alkaloids
Alkaloids are alkaline substances that react with acids to form salts. Some
alkaloids include morphine and nicotine. However, there are many others,
each with a vital role within the physiological and metabolic functions of the
body. Some alkaloids suppress tissue functions while others stimulate it.
Bitter Principles
These are compounds that are bitter to the taste. They are stimulating to
hepatic (liver), intestinal, as well as pancreatic tissue. They aid the secretion of
digestive enzymes as well as bile and bicarbonate for alkalization. They
include the terpenes, cotters and iridoids. Recent research has discovered that
many bitter principles have antibiotic, antifungal and anti-tumor activities.Gentian Root, Valerian Root and Golden Seal Root are examples of herbs
with high amounts of bitter principles.
Coumarins
These constituents tend to fall under the aromatic category. They have anti-
clotting effects in low dosages and are used as a poison in high dosages.
Coumarin glycosides are very fragrant and have shown to have antifungal,
anti-microbial, anti-tumor and hemorrhagic effects.
Essential Oils
All foods and plant life have their essential oils, also called volatile oils or
essences. These are concentrated compounds comprised of organic
substances including alcohols, ketones, phenols, acids, ethers, esters,
aldehydes and oxides. Essential oils give the aroma to a plant, flower or food.
They play a vital role in the health of your nervous system. Essential oil
therapy offers the individual tremendous power when used properly. There
are essential oils for just about everything, including lymph movement,
sweating, proliferaters (healers) and diuretics. Some essential oils include,
Rosewood, Lavender, Eucalyptus, Lemon, Rose, and Clary Sage.
Flavones
Also known as flavonoids, flavonals, flavonones, isoflavones and xanthones.
Many flavones such as flavonoid glycosides are vital to calcium and vitamin
C utilization. Bioflavonoids are co-factors in strengthening tissue, especially
cardio- and vascular tissue. They include rutin, hesperidin and vitamin P.
Fruits and vegetables have abundant flavones. Many antioxidants such as
anthocyanidins and anthocyanins are related to flavonoids. These factors in
foods strengthen the heart, brain, vascular walls and promote immune
response. Also see: Phenols. Fruits and especially berries (Hawthorn, Saw
Palmetto, blueberry, and others) are high in flavones.
Glycosides
Glycosides are bonded sugars, which can be broken down into one or more
sugars (glycones). Even though glycosides are not considered a major
classification of phytochemicals— as are alkaloids, phenols, terpenoids,
carbohydrates, lipids, etc.—they bind with these major groups to formtherapeutic actions. Some are anti-spasmodic, others act as diuretics, and still
others affect circulation and heart action (cardiac glycosides).
Phenols
Phenols are also known as polyphenols, phenolic compounds and acids.
They have an aromatic ring and have one or more hydroxyl groups. There
are over eight thousand recognized phenols. They are generally broken down
into flavonoids, phenylpropanoids, anthones, stilbenoids and quinones. Their
actions within plants and human tissues vary greatly. They serve as:
antioxidants, anti-viral compounds, anti-inflammatory compounds, anti-
carcinogens, anti-spasmodics and diuretics, and have anti-microbial and tonic
qualities.
Salts
Salts are the inorganic compounds of your body. They play a vital role in the
function of cells and are vital for life to exist. The primary salts include
chlorides, carbonates, bicarbonates, phosphates and sulfates. Plants are full of
various mineral salts such as calcium phosphate, sodium chloride, and others.
Their roles in the human body include:
maintenance of proper water levels
maintenance of osmotic pressure conditions for proper osmosis
regulation of blood volume
keeping the acid/alkaline (base) balanced
the bases for essential components or constituents of various tissues, like
bones and teeth
proper coagulation of blood
essential to the performance of nerve and muscle tissue
acting as co-enzyme factors and activators
effecting cellular transport and cell wall permeability
essential to certain hormone functions
Saponins
These compounds have several actions in your body. They are considered
anti-inflammatory and have expectorant actions. They are also part of the
synthesis of adrenal gland steroids. Licorice Root and Devils Claw are herbs
that have high amounts of saponins.Tannins (Tannic acid)
Tannins are generally protective substances found in the outer and sometimes
inner parts of a plant, tree, flower or fruit. Especially found in the leaves,
bark, seeds and flowers.
Tannins act as astringents, having cleaning, shrinking and drawing
effects upon tissue. They are considered a protective device for a plant against
herbivores. Tann


-irritant. By b ringing blood, it can cure tissues which are
inflamed and sensitive. Cayenne does sting, but aft er the sting comes the cure.
Dr. John Christopher, one of the greatest herbalist s of the 20th century says: “When I was 35,
the doctors said I would be dead by 43. I had advan ced hardening of the arteries. The veins
would stick out of my hands like pencils. I suffere d from crippling arthritis, stomach ulcers, and
I was victim of two horrible auto accidents. No ins urance company would touch me, not even
for a $1000 policy.”
“I started taking a spoonful of cayenne pepper thre e times a day in hot water. I did this for
ten years.  “Ten years after I had started using cayenne, a gr oup wanted me to have a $100,000
policy to insure them on the business deal we were working out. I went for the examination.
Since this was a large policy, the insurance compan y required two medical doctors. I took the
examinations and one medical doctor, when he got th rough, said, ‘Well, this is astounding. I
see your age is 45, but you have the venous structu re of a teenage boy. I’ve never seen
anything like it.’”
“I went to the other doctor. He did the blood press ure test. He pumped his equipment up five
different times. I said, ‘What’s the matter? Doesn’ t your equipment work?’ The doctor replied,
‘Oh yes, it always has, up till now, but I keep loo king at your chart and it says you are 45 years
of age and yet your pressure is absolutely perfect. ’ I said, ‘That’s correct. It is perfect.’ He
also gave me a clean bill of health. So I passed, a t 45 years of age, for a $100,000 policy with
good blood pressure, thanks to cayenne.”
EIGHT-YEAR-OLD SHOT WITH GUN
Besides lowering high blood pressure and doing othe r wonderful things, cayenne is fantastic for
stopping bleeding. Listen to this true story Dr. Ch ristopher used to tell his audiences.
“Once a child was shot in the abdomen; a bullet hit  the spine, ricocheted, and made a second
wound leaving the body. One of Dr. Christopher’s he rbal students living next door heard the
shot and raced over. When she arrived, the eight-ye ar-old was gushing blood out both sides.
They had been playing ‘cops and robbers’ with their  father’s guns which she found under a
pillow.”
“She ran to the cabinet and mixed a tablespoonful of  cayenne in a glass of water.  She then
poured it down the boy’s throat and called the ambu lance which was 18 miles away. The
emergency room attendant said that the boy would pr obably bleed to death, being that the
distance was so great. When the child arrived at th e hospital, he was the center of attention,
not because his condition was so serious, but becau se he was chatting a mile a minute—and
there was NO bleeding!”  “The bleeding had stopped by the time they arrived at the hospital. The chief doctor said to
the parents, ‘I have seen many accident victims in my life, but this is the first time in such an
emergency operation, that I have opened an abdomen to find no blood, except for a small
amount that was there before the bleeding stopped s o quickly. The cayenne pepper has saved
your boy’s life.’”
In that same year, Dr. Christopher treated four oth er gunshot victims. Each case responded the
same. Sometimes, the blood coagulated and came out in clumps before it stopped completely.
Dr Christopher even used cayenne tincture directly on open wounds. It may sting, but the
bleeding stops. Even if the wound is a deep cut exp osing bone, that wound may still be filled
with cayenne pepper. If cayenne is not available, b lack pepper may be used. Many people,
when they see the skin is ruddied by cayenne, belie ve that the skin is irritated. But cayenne is
a counter-irritant. Cayenne brings the blood to the  surface to take away any toxic poisons and
start the healing. The redness comes to the skin fr om blood that has rushed to the surface to
assist carrying off wastes.
FINEST FOODS FOR THE HEART
Dr. Christopher said, “In 35 years of practice, and  working with people and teaching, I have
never, on house calls, lost one heart attack patien t. The reason is, whenever I go in, if they
are still breathing, I pour down them a cup of caye nne tea (a teaspoon of cayenne in a cup
of hot water.)  Usually, within minutes, they are up and around.”
He says, “I received an emergency call in the middl e of the night. A woman in Salt Lade City
had just suffered a severe heart attack and passed out. I rushed over and fed the woman hot
cayenne tea. Within minutes, she was sitting up fee ling fine. The hot cayenne tea is faster-
acting than tablets, capsules or cold tea. The warm  tea opens up the cell structure and makes
it expand and accept the cayenne that much faster. It goes directly to the heart through the
arterial system and feeds it a powerful food.”
“To show the value of cayenne – what a wonderful he art food it is, this story has been repeated
in a number of publications. Doctors in the East pu t some live heart tissue into a sterile beaker
filled with distilled water and fed it nothing but cayenne pepper. During the time they were
feeding the heart tissue, they would have to trim i t continually, every few days because it
would grow so rapidly. Having no control glands (th e pituitary and pineal glands), the heart
tissue just continued to grow rapidly. They kept th e tissue alive for 15 years. They eventually
destroyed it so they could do more research on it. This shows the high food value cayenne gives
to the heart.”
“In most cases a weak heart is a malnourished heart. The heart hasn’t had a decent meal for so
long that it is practically starved. We give the he art a good meal. We don’t whip it with
nitroglycerin or digitalis or some other type of dr ug to force it to beat rapidly. We try to bring
more food value to the heart so that it could find a little help to keep it going.”
HEART ATTACK TREATMENT
Dr. Christopher prepared one teaspoon of 100,000 he at unit cayenne in one cup of hot
water. Dr. Richard Schulze used one tablespoon of 2 50,000 heat unit cayenne. Steep until
it is cool enough to drink without scalding. Prop u p the patient and pour the cayenne tea
down the patient’s throat.  The heart attack will stop immediately. In case yo u don’t have
cayenne around, use black pepper, but triple the do se.  Cayenne reduces the mucus in the venous system (and  all other systems of body) and
immediately increases the circulation. Cayenne equa lizes the blood pressure, feeds the
necessary elements into the cell structure of the a rteries, veins and capillaries. It helps to
reduce and normalize the blood flow.
WHEN DISEASES STRIKE FAST
A woman saved her companion from almost fatal heart  attack – with Tobasco sauce! An 83-
year-old woman from Meridian MS runs a small rest h ome for elderly people. One of her invalids
was having a heart attack late in the night. Virgin ia said, “She was dying I could see. I held her
and she died in my arms. I kept putting the tobasco  sauce drops to her tongue as your report
had told me to do, and the nurse’s aid got mad at m e for using the hot sauce and not calling
for help. The nurse said to me, ‘Dammit, can’t you see she’s dead. Call the funeral home.’ But
the lady revived and lived two more years. Virginia  carries cayenne under her bra so she always
has it with her in case she needs it. Who ever knew  you could save life with a common
condiment.
According to master herbalist Dr. Richard Schulze, “You should have a bottle of the tincture or
a bag of the powder in the kitchen, bathroom, bedro om and the glove box of your car. Just like
the American Express Ad, ‘ Don’t leave home without it! ’ Cayenne can be placed directly on
wounds, even when the person is cut to the bone. Ju st sprinkle the cayenne powder into the
wound. I have never seen cayenne cause infection. T he blood loss stops in seconds. I just had a
two-inch gash down to my bone on my leg and cayenne  stopped all bleeding. I could see the
bone – and just pack cayenne right into the wound. However cayenne stops the bleeding so fast
– in 2 to 3 seconds –


 pure body.

Gradually you should introduce a “normal” diet, on which you could live on for
indefinite period of time.

Note that most of your efforts will be lost if you return to your old habits. To mainta in
the body in a healthy and pure state, you should take care not to poison it again. It is
strongly recommended, that you eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid  meat,
fish, and eggs and any food containing extracts, colors and flavors. For more detail s see
the section about diet later on in this thread.

It is very important to continue drinking at least 2-3 liters of pure water each da y.
Remember that our body is 75% water and all scientists agree that aging proc ess is
equivalent to slow dehydration of the cells in our body.

  39  3. Oxygen Therapies

Oxygen therapies use oxygen in various forms (ozone for example) to assist the body i n
the healing process. Their indisputable effectiveness comes from the fact, that  oxygen
is a key substance used by our body in the detoxification process. The rate of
detoxification can be greatly increased, if the body has an excess of oxygen ava ilable to
it. Selected safe and very effective techniques of oxygen therapy are l isted below. Note,
that breathing pure oxygen is NOT listed as the effective therapy. It is not t he quantity
of oxygen, which is the most important. Most effective healing techniques use minute
quantities  of active atomic oxygen, in concentrations occurring naturally in spring
water and the air in the mountains.

Enema. This was described earlier in detail earlier in this thread. Adding minute
quantities of hydrogen peroxide to the pure water used for an enema, delivers small
quantities of oxygen directly to excreting organs, helping them to work better. Never
exceed the concentration of 1 drop of (30%) hydrogen peroxide per 2 liters of water  for
your enema. Your safety and comfort are most important. If in doubt, use much less.
Do not use hydrogen peroxide sold in pharmacies for external use only. It contains so
called “stabilizers” which may be toxic. Use only “analytical” or “food”  grade
hydrogen peroxide.

Bath.  The skin is the largest organ of your body. Soaking it in diluted hydrogen
peroxide is very beneficial to your body. Minute amounts of pure atomic oxygen are
delivered simultaneously everywhere around your body, greatly stimulating t he
detoxification process. You can go to Lourdes mineral springs in France for a bath, or
you can simply prepare a bath at home, by adding 20-50 milliliters of 30% hydrogen
peroxide to the entire water volume (100 liters). It would be best to use filtered or r ain
water with no chlorine and other chemicals. If you have a pool, you can replace the
chlorine water treatment by the ozone water treatment system. Ozone (or UV ) water
treatment is borrowing yet another example from nature. Ozone produced natural ly
from oxygen by UV rays in the atmosphere, reacts with the moisture in clouds,
producing pure and healthy rain. Having the ozone treated water in your pool you can
swim in it and drink the water from it too.

Oral intake: - It has been demonstrated (see oxygen Therapies by Ed McCabe listed in
the references.), that taking diluted hydrogen peroxide orally also is benef icial to our
health. The most controversial issue is the concentration. In my opinion we should not
exceed by much the concentrations which occur naturally in the rain water high i n the
mountains or in the water from natural mineral springs. Another good gauge is taste.
The taste of hydrogen peroxide is extremely unpleasant and we are quite sensitive  to it.
So, if you cannot feel discomfort drinking the solution, the concentration is most likely
safe. Again, do not use hydrogen peroxide sold in pharmacies for external use only, as
it contains so called “stabilizers” which may be toxic. Use only “analyt ical” or “food”
grade hydrogen peroxide.

Ozone treatment :- Ozone (O3) is a very active form of oxygen. It exists naturally in
the atmosphere – it is created from molecular oxygen (O2) by the UV rays fr om the  40  sun. Ozone is the essential ingredient of fresh air. Ozone is unstable: it breaks down
into oxygen after only a few minutes at room temperature (25 Degree C), but its
supplies are continuously updated using the UV energy from the sun. High in
mountains there is a lot of ozone in the air. We can create ozone in our home, by yet
again imitating the ways of nature: using a quartz lamp to generate UV ray s. Because
ozone is so active, it neutralizes (by oxidization) all odors very effectively. Breathing
air, with the concentration of ozone similar to that of mountains, is quite beneficial. Be
careful not to exceed natural concentrations of ozone in the air you breathe. Your body
will give you a warning if you are doing so: dryness of the throat and/or discomfor t in
your lungs. Do not ignore it.

Do not ever breathe ozone produced using a high voltage arc. Such ozone is initially
very hot and it is so active, that it reacts with nitrogen in the arc plasma, crea ting
nitrogen oxides, which are quite toxic. The air around a high voltage arc contains not
only ozone, but also nitrogen oxides, which are dangerous.

“Cold” ozone, generated at low temperature by an UV quartz lamp is safe. Such “ cold”
ozone is naturally produced in the atmosphere by the activity of the sun and is an
essential ingredient of fresh air.

For more details consult the book “Oxygen therapies” by Ed McCabe listed in the
References. It is based on several thousands scientific articles from m edical journals.

  41  4. Exercise

Moderate exercise can significantly accelerate the natural detoxif ication of the body, by
improving the circulation of body fluids, increasing the intake of oxygen to our body,
speeding the rate of metabolism and increasing the excretion rate through incr eased
sweating. This is exactly why people feel great after undergoing su ch exercise. They
purify their bodies and they all notice, that their minds instantly become shar per.

I would like to stress the word moderate  here. If the intensity of the exercise is
excessive, not only such exercise is not beneficial, but may be even harmful. If you are
“loosing your breath” for example, it is a sign that the body has entered an anae robic
(low oxygen) emergency mode of operation and it is a fair warning from your body th at
you should slow down.

One method of assessing right level of physical activity for you is to observ e your pulse
rate. If it exceeds 90-100 you should slow down. Another good gauge is this: if you feel
comfortable continuing the exercise (jogging, walking, skating, roller skat ing, tennis
etc.) over long periods of time, this level of activity is right for you. Note, that w ith
training you can increase the intensity of exercise, but it is not necessary. A fter
exercising  at the right intensity you should be more energetic and, most impor tantly,
have clearer, sharper mind. Remember, that we should enjoy whatever we do.

For more details, consult “The oxygen breakthrough” by Hendler, listed in Refere nces.

5. Sauna

The sauna is an ancient treatment developed by civilizations living in cold clima tes.
Because of the cold climate, their bodies tend not to sweat much, so these cold climat e
dwellers invented the sauna to promote improved circulation of body fluids, speed up
metabolism and accelerate sweating: a great natural purification and det oxification
function of the body.

It is best to experience a sauna in short 10-15 minute sessions, with 5-10 minutes
“cooling down” intervals, repeating such a cycle 3-4 times. During the “cool ing down”
intervals do not use pool or showers which have chlorinated water. Ozone treated
water, clean river, rain, lake or sea water is OK. Your skin has been cleansed b y the
flow of the sweat and in such a clean state it will absorb the chlorine from the wa ter
into your body. It is best to use a towel to dry the sweat from your body. Do not allow
the sweat to evaporate, because it contains toxins your body has jus excreted, a nd you
do not want any of them to be re-absorbed back.

  42  6. Removal of dental amalgams

Dental amalgams, whether gold or silver, contain mercury one of the most toxic metals
to our body. Having amalgam fillings, is like having a constant supply of toxic
mercury, released slowly but constantly.(Please see the reference for mor e evidence and
information).

Removal and replacement of amalgam fillings instantly removes the source of m ercury
supply, however the mechanical removal process itself (drilling) can tempor arily
increase the concentration of mercury in your body.

When you decide to replace the amalgams, make sure that you are already on the


 ess only love, ar e only love.
While the inner transformation  is taking place, every path must have
some outer form to sustain it. In India a person’ s nature leads him to the
style of path appropriate to reaching fulfillment. Some people are naturally
intellectual and are therefore suited to the path of knowledge, or Gyana.
Some are more devotional and are suited to the path of worship, or Bhakti.
Some are more outwardly motiv ated and are suited to the path of action, or
Karma.The three are not mutually exclusive; ideally, one would include  in one’s
lifestyle daily periods of study, worship, and service. All three approaches
would then be integrated into a single path. It is, however, entirely possible
to be so taken with a single approach that your whole existence may be
centered on reading the scriptures, contemplation, and scholarly debate—
the life of gyana. Or you may spend your time meditating, chanting, and
participating in temple rituals— the life of bhakti. Or you could do social
work, apply yourself to menta l and physical purification, and do God’ s
bidding in daily activity—the life of karma. Even in the most traditional
sectors of India today, these paths have broken down, giving way to modern
lifestyles in which study and work have little or nothing to do with spiritual
aspirations.
What does this mean for a Westerner who has never been exposed to
sadhana? I propose that being on the spiritual path is such a natural and
powerful urge that everyone’ s life, regardless of culture, obeys it. A path is
just a way to open yourself to spirit, to God, to love. These are aims we all
may cherish, but our culture has given us no established, organized way to
reach them. Indeed, never in history has a seeker been confronted with such
a disor ganized and chaotic spiritual scene.
What we are left with is relation ships. The desire to love and be loved is
too powerful ever to be extinguished, and fortunately a spiritua l path exists
based upon this unquenchable longing. The expression path to love is not
simply a metaphor; it reappears throughout spiritual history in many guises.
The most ancient version is the bhakti or devotional tradition from Vedic
India, in which all forms of love ultimately serve the search for God. The
Sufis of Islam have their own devotional lineage. Rumi, whom I quote so
often, was more than a poet; he was a great teacher of this path. To him God
was the sweetest, most desirabl e lover, whose touch he could feel against
the skin:
When it’ s cold and raining,
You are more beautiful.
And the snow brings me
even closer to Y our Lips.
The Inner Secret, that which was never born,
You are that freshness, and I am with Y ou now.Christ initiated another version of the path in his supreme teaching, “Love
thy neighbor as thyself.” Jesus always spoke of God as a loving father. The
Christian version of the path is therefore a relationship not so much
between lovers as between paren t and child or a shepherd and his flock (we
shouldn’ t forget, though, the image of Christ as bridegroom and the
worshiper ’s soul as the bride).
So it isn’t the tradition that is lacking. One might more fairly say that in
most religions the teaching of love, as originally presented, seems to have
faded, to have become more an ideal than a practical reality. But amidst all
the confusion and breakdown of traditional teaching, there is still the spark
of love that brings two people together, and out of that a path can be made.
Like the tiny spark of fire that consumes a forest, the spark of love is all
you need to experience love in its full power and glory, in all its aspects,
earthly and divine. Love is spirit, and all experiences of love, however
insignificant they seem, are actually invitations to the cosmic dance. Within
every love story hides the wooing of the gods and goddesses.
In a different age the most fleeting of infatuations had spiritual meaning;
the nearness of God in the beloved was taken seriously. Since the advent of
Freud, however, psychologists have assured us that falling  in love is
illusory; the sense of ecstasy that is part of falling in love isn’t realistic. We
must learn to accept the tempo rary nature of romance and disregard the
“projected fanta sy” that we might be as immortal and invulnerable as
passionate lovers feel. We would therefore have to be skepti cal of Walt
Whitman when he rapturously declares,
I am the mate and companion of people, all just as immortal and fathomless as myself,
(They do not know how immortal, but I know.)
And W. H. Aude n would have to be seen as indulging in hyperbolic fantasy
when he says, in the first rapture of love,
... in my arms I hold
The flower of the ages,
And the first love of the world.
The sense of delight, uniqueness, and blessing felt by lovers has its own
reality, but you must find it within. Romance and spirit are both states of
inner truth. In this book I am proposing that the two can be joined. Thedramatic psycho logical shift that occurs whenever we fall in love is actually
a tempo rary state of spiritual liberation, a glimpse of who you really are.
The ecstatic feelings that flow between lovers, their sense of being uniquely
cared for and protected, their belief in a timeless state of being—all these
are spiritual realities. The East has tended to retain the spiritual dimension
of falling in love, even at its most passionate, as in this line from Rumi:
Love is the way messengers from the mystery tell us things.
In this vision of love, which expands far beyond two people and their
infatuation, the acts of love join us to a reality that we yearn for but do not
know how to reach—the “mystery.”
In this book I will use the phrase  “spiritual master” to designate someone
who has achieved command over spiritual reality. Despite the huge cultural
differences betw een a Sufi mast er, a yogi, a Christian saint, and a Chinese
martial artist of the highest proficiency, all can perceive spirit as clearly as
you or I see the earth and sky. The spiritual masters were not idly setting
forth idealistic goals when they taught the path to love. In a very practical
sense the path enables two people to escape the trap of separation and
suffering. In its place are peace and ecstasy. The freshness of life is love and
nothing else. When two people can grow into that knowledge, the promise
of lasting happiness becomes real.
LOVE, PLEASURE, AND HAPPINESS
Naturally the question arises, “Why should I choose a path at all?”
Relationship, with or without romantic love, has existed for a long time.
Being in love with someone hasn’t required making any conscious spiritual
choices other than which church to go to, perhaps, and in the case of
parenthood, what faith to raise the children in. Insisting upon the spiritual
dimension of love may sound uncomfortably exalted to some people, who
are content to enter a relationship for happiness and security. Therefore it’s
worth asking how happiness is actually achieved, and whether we can really
attain security without embarking upon the spiritual journey.
On the surface the absence of spirituality seems to make little difference
to what people perceive as happ iness. I was surprised to discover recentlythat happiness is not a rare commodity. In opinion polls when people are
asked if they are happy, roughly 70 percent say yes. This response is
amazingly consi stent. The same percentage holds for every age-group, from
the very young to the very old. It does not vary widely from country to
country or year to year. The one striking exception occurs among
impoverished people. The very poor tend to be less happy, and in Asia,
where vast numbers of people  do not have their basic needs met, the
pollsters’ question “Are you happy?” is often met with a blank stare.
On the surface, then, love hardly seems indispensable given how many of
us already say that we are happy. I think this is an example of a word that
appears to be self-defining when it really isn’t. “Happiness” is just as fluid
as love itself and equally elusive. Outward conditions have no predictable
effect on either. For example, people who have struggled out of poverty say
that they are happier, but once people are above the poverty line, adding
more money doesn’t increase happine ss. It often takes considerably more
expense to provide a new stimulus, and without stimulus most people can’t
be happy.
In the long term, however, depending upon stimulus is a trap. Enough
stimulus of the right kind may create happiness, but the balance is
extremely precarious. Studies have shown that newborn babies, for
example, like to have pretty dangling things in their surroundings. A mobile
with ten shiny objects on it will cause a baby to gurgle and laugh when it’s
placed over the crib. However, if you take away eight of the dangles and
leave behind only two, the baby will cry in loud protest.
This is probably the earliest experimental evidence we have that
happiness is vulnerable to loss. Certainly


 a perfect healing.
I wanted to know his method, so I asked him why he re-peated the
words prior to sleep. Here is his reply, “The kinetic act ion of the
subconscious mind continues throughout your sleep-time period.
Hence, give the subconscious mind something good to work on as you
drop off into slumber.” This was a very wise answer. In t hinking of
harmony and perfect health, he never mentioned his trouble by name.
I strongly suggest that you cease talking about your ail-ments o r
giving them a name. The only sap from which they draw life is  your
attention and fear of them. Like the above-mentioned psychologist,
 69  become a mental surgeon. Then your troubles will be cut off li ke dead
branches are pruned from a tree.
If you are constantly naming your aches and symptoms, you inhibit
the kinetic action, which means the release of the healing power  and
energy of your subconscious mind. Further-more, by the law of your
own mind, these imaginings tend to take shape, as the thing I greatly
feared. Fill your mind with the great truths of life and walk forwar d in
the light of love.
• Summary of your aids to health
1. Find out what it is that heals you. Realize that correct d irec-tions
given to your subconscious mind will heal your mind and body.
2. Develop a definite plan for turning over your requests or desi res
to your subconscious mind.
3. Imagine the end desired and feel its reality. Follow it through, and
you will get definite results.
4. Decide what belief is. Know that belief is a thought in your mi nd,
and what you think you create.
5. It is foolish to believe in sickness and something to hurt or to
harm you. Believe in perfect health, prosperity, peace, wealth, and
divine
guidance.
6. Great and noble thoughts upon which you habitually dwell
become great acts.
7. Apply the power of prayer therapy in your life. Choose a cert ain
plan, idea, or mental picture. Mentally and emo-tionally unite wi th
that idea, and as you remain faithful to your mental attitude, y our
prayer will be answered.
8. Always remember, if you really want the power to heal, you c an
have it through faith, which means knowledge of the working of your
conscious and subconscious mind. Faith comes with understanding.
 70  9. Blind faith means that a person may get results in healing w ithout
any scientific understanding of the powers and forces involved.
10. Learn to pray for your loved ones who may be ill. Quiet your
mind, and your thoughts of health, vitality, and per-fection operati ng
through the one universal subjective mind will be felt and re surrected
in the mind of your loved one.

Practical Techniques in Mental
Healings
An engineer has a technique and a process for building a bridg e or
an engine. Like the engineer, your mind also has a technique for
governing, controlling, and directing your life. You must realize that
methods and techniques are primary.
In building the Golden Gate Bridge, the chief engineer understood
mathematical principles, stresses and strains. Sec-ondly, he had  a
picture of the ideal bridge across the bay. The third step was his
application of tried and proven methods by which the principle s were
implemented until the bridge took form and we drive on it. There  also
are techniques and methods by which your prayers are answered.  If
your prayer is answered, there is a way in which it is answ ered, and
this is a scientific way. Nothing happens by chance. This is a world of
law and order. In this chapter you will find practical technique s for the
unfolding and nurture of your spiritual life. Your prayers must not
remain up in the air like a balloon. They must go somewhere  and
accomplish something in your life.
When we come to analyze prayer we discover there are many
different approaches and methods. We will not consider in this book
the formal, ritual prayers used in religious services. These have
important place in-group worship. We are imme-diately conce rned
with the methods of personal prayer as it is applied in your daily life
and as it is used to help others.
Prayer is the formulation of an idea concerning something we wish
to accomplish. Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire. Your  desire is your
prayer. It comes out of your deepest needs and it reveals the  things
you want in life. Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after
righteousness: for they shall be filled. That is really prayer, life’s
 72  hunger and thirst for peace, harmony, health, joy, and all the other
blessings of life.
• The passing-over technique for impregnating the subconscious
This consists essentially in inducing the subconscious mind to ta ke
over your request as handed it by the conscious mind. This passing
over is best accomplished in the reverie-like state. Kn ow that in your
deeper mind are Infinite Intelligence and In-finite Power. Ju st calmly
think over what you want; see it com-ing into fuller fruition from  this
moment forward. Be like the little girl who had a very bad coug h and
a sore throat. She de-clared firmly and repeatedly, “It is  passing away
now. It is pass-ing away now.” It passed away in about an hour. Use
this tech-nique with complete simplicity and naïveté.
• Your subconscious will accept your blueprint
If you were building a new home for yourself and family, you know
that- you would be intensely interested in regard to the bluepr int for
your home; you would see to it that the builders conformed to the
blueprint. You would watch the material and select only the best
wood, steel, in fact, the best of everything. What about your mental
home and your mental blueprint for happiness and abundance? All
your experiences and everything that enters into your life depend up on
the nature of the mental building blocks, which you use in the
construction of your mental home.
If your blueprint is full of mental patterns of fear, worry, anxiety, or
lack, and if you are despondent, doubtful, and cyni-cal, then the
texture of the mental material you are weaving into your mind will
come forth as more toil, care, tension, anxiety, and limitation of a ll
kinds.
The most fundamental and the most far-reaching activity in life  is
that which you build into your mentality every waking hour. Your
word is silent and invisible; nevertheless, it is real.
You are building your mental home all the time, and your thought
and mental imagery represent your blueprint. Hour by hour, moment
 73  by moment, you can build radiant health, success, and happines s by
the thoughts you think, the ideas which you harbor, the beliefs th at
you accept, and the scenes that you re-hearse in the hidden studio of
your mind. This stately mansion, upon the construction of which y ou
are perpetually engaged, is your personality, your identity in t his
plane, your whole life story on this earth.
Get a new blueprint; build silently by realizing peace, h ar-mony,
joy, and good will in the present moment. By dwelling upon these
things and claiming them, your subconscious will accept your
blueprint and bring all these things to pass. By their fruits ye shall
know them.
• The science and art of true prayer
The term “science” means knowledge, which is co-ordi-nated,
arranged, and systematized. Let us think of the science and a rt of true
prayer as it deals with the fundamental principles of life and the
techniques and processes by which they can be demonstrated in your
life, as well as in the life of every human being when he appl ies them
faithfully. The art is your technique or process, and the sci ence behind
it is the definite response of creative mind to your mental picture or
thought.
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and  it
shall be opened unto you. MATTHEW 7:7.
Here you are told you shall receive that for which you ask. It shall
be opened to you when you knock, and you shall find that for which
you are searching. This teaching implies the definiteness of  mental
and spiritual laws. There is always a direct response from  the Infinite
Intelligence of your subconscious mind to your conscious thinking. If
you ask for bread, you will not receive a stone. You must ask
believing, if you are to receive. Your mind moves from the thought to
the thing. Unless there is first an image in the mind, it cannot move,
for there would be nothing for it to move toward.
Your prayer, which is your men-tal act must be accepted as an
image in your mind before the power from your subconscious will
 74  play upon it and make it productive. You must reach a point of
acceptance in your mind, an unqualified and undisputed state of
agreement.
This contemplation should be accompanied by a feeling of joy a nd
restfulness in foreseeing the certain


byro to
produce one of the most remarkable experiments in medical history. He attempted to demonstrate that under suitable conditions,
the living cell could live a very long time, perhaps indefinitely. The heart tissue was immersed in a nutrient solution from which it
obtained its food. Likewise, waste material was secreted by the heart tissue into this same solution. Everyday the solution w as
changed, taking away waste substances and providing fresh nutrients. It  is amazing to report that this chicken heart tissue lived for
29 years in this fashion. It died one day when the assistant forgot to change the metabolized polluted fluid! In other words,
autointoxication claimed this great masterpiece of experimental sci entific investigation. Said Carrell of this experience, “The cell is
immortal. It is merely the fluid in which it floats which degenerates. Renew this fluid at intervals, give the cell something  upon
which to feed and, so far as we know, the pulsation of l ife may go on forever.”

The primary causes of constipation can be summarized as follows: faulty nutrition, ignoring the call to eliminate, lack of ph ysical
activity, emotional and mental distress, extrinsic poisons and medications and lack of adequate amo unts of water. Faulty nutrition,
as we have already seen, is a major underlying factor in constipation. Processed, devitalized foods low in fiber or bulk are not
suitable substances to promote health and well -being. Ignoring the call to eliminate feces or urine contribute greatly to cellular
congestion, autointoxication and eliminative organ distress. The lack of physical exercise makes weak and flaccid muscle tone
incapable of holding up under the demands of poor diets and extra eliminative duty. Emotional  and mental strain and tension
produce unfavorable conditions in the digestive and eliminative organs, causing them to become tense and underactive. These a lso
cause chemical imbalances and abnormal secretions to occur, generally upsetting the whole organi sm. Extrinsic poisons, such as
tobacco, coffee, alcohol, chocolate and sugar, have unfavorable effects upon digestion and elimination by upsetting gastric
secretions and nerve responses. Medications have a very upsetting effect upon these life -giving funct ions. They cause many
afflictions in the bowel. Antibiotics, such as penicillin and sulfa, can completely eliminate the favorable intestinal flora,  leaving the
opportunity for reinfestation by harmful bacteria and virus. Laxatives are irritating to the bow el and are dangerous if used
frequently.

Most people also do not drink enough water; they are chronically dehydrated. This causes all body tissues and fluids to becom e
thicker and more viscid. The mucous lining in the colon changes in consistency, failin g to provide a slick lubrication for the
movement of feces. Poor living habits contribute a great deal to poor bowel function. Not following a good program denies the
body regularity and consistency. It never knows what’s coming next and can’t depend upon a regular routine. It is always on the
defensive. This situation results in a depletion of vital nerve force and undermines the body’s ability to set periods of res t and
activity. Today, there are more than 45,000 laxative and cathartic remedies being manu factured and used by Americans alone.
Even when used sparingly and in an emergency, these substances should be used with great caution, if at all. The mechanism of
elimination is very delicate and easily upset. Once disturbed, it will often require weeks, maybe months, before it becomes
regular again. These substances, in order to evacuate the colon, are essentially poisons and irritants. They contribute nothi ng to
restore normal or natural processes of defecation. The poisoned colon tries to evacuate the offending substance as quickly as
possible, and pushes everything out including the compacted feces. Oftentimes, these harsh poisonous substances are absorbed
through the lymph and blood vessels and find their way to all parts of the body. This situation c ontributes to addiction and
overuse of these substances. Dependency upon laxative compounds will in time, permanently destroy the normal ability of the
bowel to eliminate naturally on its own accord. Laxatives tire out the bowel muscle by keeping it consta ntly working. Without rest,
it will soon fail and produce some of the conditions I will discuss in the next chapter. The only stimulation that the body s hould
have is through exercise. Any time we artificially stimulate the bowel, there is an opposite effe ct that manifests in which there is a
lack of tone in the muscle producing a weakness in that muscle structure. It is becoming increasingly clear that bowel troubl es
have a reflex effect upon specific organs in the body.

For example, Sir Arbuthnot Lane, who was a surgeon for the King of England, spent many years specializing in bowel problems.
He was an expert at removing sections of the bowel and stitching it back together. He taught this work to other doctors and g ained
an international reputation for h is efficiency. During the years of this work, he began to notice a peculiar phenomenon. During the
course of recovery from colonic surgery, some of his patients experienced remarkable cures of diseases that had no apparent
connection with his surgery. For instance, a young boy who had arthritis for many years was in a wheel chair at the time of
surgery. Six months later, this boy had recovered entirely from the disease. Another case involved a woman with a goiter. Whe n a
specific section of the bowel was re moved in surgery, there ensued a definite remission of the goiter within six months. These and
similar experiences impressed him so much because he saw the relationship between the toxic bowel and the functioning of
various organs in the body. After much t hought about this relationship, he became very interested in changing the bowel through
dietetic methods and spent the last 25 years of his life teaching people how to care for the bowel through nutrition and not surgery.
Sir Lane has said, “All maladies a re due to the tack of certain food principles, such as mineral salts or vitamins, or to the absence
of the normal defenses of the body, such as the natural protective flora. When this occurs, toxic bacteria invade the lower
alimentary canal, and the poison s thus generated pollute the bloodstream and gradually deteriorate and destroy every tissue, gland
and organ of the body.”

I am absolutely sure that what Dr. Lane discovered through his surgical explorations is in -deed an accurate description of how the
bowel functions in relation to the other organs in the body. We know that every organ and tissue is dependent upon the healthy
well-being of every other organ and tissue in order for there to be a total well -being. When one tissue or organ fails, it affects  the
whole body. If there is faulty functioning in the bowel, this deficiency is passed along to the rest of the body. We could ca ll this the
intestinal domino effect.

The frequency or quantity of fecal elimination is not an indication of the lack of cons tipation in the bowel. I know of cases that had
three and four movements a day and yet the bowel was quite encrusted and very constipated. Most people don’t know the
condition of their bowel. Unfortunately those who are not aware of their bowel function or  condition are sometimes the ones who
are developing the worst cases of bowel troubles. I find that constipation is usually going along with those bowels that have
diverticulosis. Very few people eat in an organized way, and for this reason, they have loos e bowels one day, stiff bowels the next
day, a smelly bowel one day, and so on. When regularity is absent in the diet, there is chaos in the bowel. In most cases, si mply
changing the diet and eating habits will alleviate many bowel problems without surgery.

WHAT GOES IN DOESN’T ALWAYS COME OUT
I am convinced that the bowel holds onto waste materials longer than anyone realizes. When we clean out the bowel and release  all
this old, rotting material, there will be a lessening of the gas, pain and autointoxic ation taking place. I believe that this toxic
material decaying away in the sigmoid colon is a good place for degenerative diseases to get started. Starches that haven’t b een
digested properly by the pancreatic secretions are not readily taken up by the bo dy and made into good tissue. These, in turn, can
come back to the colon and keep the body from having the proper colonic tone because of a lack of proper chemical development.
In addition, drugs can settle in the tissues of the body and it is the colon th at catches a good deal of these. By way of the mucus
membrane, the colon is used as an eliminative channel. When the membrane does not function properly, these drug deposits
accumulate in the bowel indefinitely and can produce a time -bomb effect; irritatio ns, inflammations and ulcerations. Here again,
food is very, very important to recognize because this is the one thing that brings back a chemical reserve and gives the pow er and
chemical structure to have good healthy tissue.

The dietary program that I h ave developed is probably one of the most important things I can give to you. It has proven itself well
in 30 years of sanitarium experience and has helped many people to regain their health. It takes care of the bulk, it takes c are of the
fiber, it takes care of the natural mucus membrane through proper chemical replacements. This program, coupled with an exercise
routine,


hospitals use turned a simple problem into a life-threatening condition that nearly killed her. By the time her mother was notified of the situation, Lourdes was desperate. Her mother insisted on taking her to the emergency room at the local hospital, but she refused. If you don't want to go to the hospital, her mother replied, then your must do something else: You must drink a glass of urine right away. Crunching her teeth she complied by drinking all the urine she passed the next time she had to do. Within 20 minutes, she started sweating and the fever started going down. Four hours later her temperature dropped to about 85 degrees and she slept for six hours. Upon awakening she had diarrhea and her temperature was normal. Now that she has seen first hand how powerful this treatment is, she uses her urine regularly.”  Uropathy by Martin J. Lara  FIBROADENOMA 90  Mrs. Queta Aguilar { Mexico } "I initiated the method of therapy the 8th of May of 1998. I am 40 years of age and my disease is fibroadenoma in left breast and painful fibroma in right breast. I was diagnosed by two doctors. Studies have not made the problem solvable because I lack economic resources. I knew of the Urine-therapy but I did not try to do it because it made me sick. A doctor friend tried to get me to start the method of Urine-therapy because of the gravity of my problem.  I started a fasting but it was hopeless because of my headaches yet God and I pushed on to the end. When finishing the fast the fibroma along with varicose veins disappeared on the right leg. I wanted to be able to help with my testimony for others. I am not going to stop Urine-therapy ever. Thanks to Sonia I am cured."  World-wide Case Histories of Urine Therapy by Gary Ward   FILARIA  One patient of age 72 was having filaria. Walking always caused swelling and fever. The patient came to know of urine therapy and tried it upon himself. After five months his pain reduced greatly and he was able to walk for one and a half mile without fever and swelling. He continued the treatment and improved further. He was able to walk. Three miles at a stretch without any ill effect. Considering his age, long standing of the disease and the fact that the patient did not observe full restriction, it can be said that urine therapy is capable of curing filaria.  Miracles of Urine Therapy by Morarji Desai  FISTULA  FISTULA  “Shri Chhotabhai D. Chauhan (Nava Deesa, Gujarat) developed a small boil on his anus in September 1976. This later turned out to be the dread disease of fistula, which dissipated his zest of life. Two operations and several injections were fruitless. The wound would fester non-stop.  At last in 1977 he came round to adoption of auto-urine. He dutifully put urine-packs on the wound. The deep wound of about three -fourths of an inch gradually was reduced. Thought yet the wound is not completely cured he has at least not to change his clothes twice or thrice a day, and he has firm belief of his complete recovery. Western 91 medicines cost him thousands of rupees and yet no benefit was gained. On auto-urine treatment he had nothing to lose except his discomfort. Urine therapy has such miraculous powers.”  from Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  FISTULA  “My close friend Shri Sitaramji Chaudhari was suffering from fistula for 15 years. Qn the seam between thighs there was an ulcer about two inches long. He used to insert cotton-wool about 20 gms. in the wound and put five or six layers of khadi cloth on it over which he would wear his loin-cloth. He felt acute discomfort. Cotton-woo had to be replaced twice or thrice every day. When he told me that even after, two operations the sickness only aggravated, I told him that if he followed my advice he would certainly be cured. I prescribed soft cloth soaked in his own wine as a fresh pack every day on the wound and drinking of auto-urine. He followed it for two months and was relieved of much of the trouble. Pus formation was stopped and the occasional dirtying when he walked some distance also was stopped. Chaudhari's faith in his cure was strengthened. After seven months most of the morbidity was cured. He had then to go out of jeera. He wrote from his new abode that his complaint was not completely cured. So he was advised dashang ointment and he was completely relieved of the trouble.”  from Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  FISTULA  “S. Chaudhari suffered from fistula for 15 years. He was operated on twice, but the disease prevailed. He took to Urine Therapy and began to apply urine-soaked cloth to the wound. In seven months the disease vanished.”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn  FEET SORES   Ms. M.v.L., The Netherlands "In my opinion, Shivambu Kalpa (urine therapy) is the most miraculous and effective way to treat all physical ailments and illnesses. The best thing about this therapy is that it not only eliminates the symptoms, but also works on the causes. That's how I see it: truth, simplicity and love. I was first introduced to this therapy approximately twelve years ago. In the Babaji's ashram in India where I was staying, I came across an Australian man standing on a 92 ladder, painting the temple walkway. His feet were on eye level, and I could see that they were covered with wounds and sores. I called to him, "Hey John, you've got to do something about those feet of yours." He answered, "Yes, yes, I piss on them." I said to him, motherly as I am, "Come on, John, don't be angry, I have some powerful calendula ointment." He answered once again, "No, no, I simply piss on them." After calling back and forth to each other, he came down from the ladder and explained his therapy to me. I did not believe a word of what he said, and kept going on about my calendula ointment. "There is a book in the library you should read," he said. I was completely baffled when I read it, but I felt, I knew it was good. After a week, his feet were as clean and smooth as a baby's bottom. I used urine when I had a sore throat and for small scrapes, and started to tell people about urine therapy. Later, however, I more or less forgot about it and started using other medication again. A few years later, I hiked through the jungle in the 'wrong' shoes, as I had lost my good shoes. When I got home, my right foot looked terrible-- the big toe was completely open and full of dirt. I tried calendula. The second day, my foot was terribly swollen and was very painful. The local doctor said that I either had to take antibiotics or my foot would have to be amputated. I suddenly remembered John and his wonder drug. I placed a cloth soaked in my own urine on my toes and foot, up to the ankle, and wrapped a plastic bag around the cloth. I was a sight! But I knew it would work. Within a few hours, the pain was gone, although the wounds on my toes and the swelling were still there. The doctor panicked and became angry with me. But I did not want to take antibiotics. The first two days, I changed the urine cloths every two hours and drank the rest of the urine. Within a week, my foot was better. The doctor was still angry, but surprised as well. I gave him Armstrong's book on urine therapy. Actually, he was already familiar with the therapy, but as an Indian doctor he thought working with antibiotics was'more impressive'. Since then, this doctor has cured many people with Shivambu Kalpa (urine therapy). In the last ten years, I have worked a great deal with urine therapy and have achieved spectacular results. Earaches, eye infections, fever, burns (also sunburn): urine therapy has helped heal all of these ailments. It changed the life of a German girl, whom I met in India. Whenever the temperature rose even just a little, she would be covered with eczema. I once asked her, "Why do you always wear long-sleeve shirts and long skirts when it is so hot?" She rolled up her sleeve and said, "That's why." A terrible case of eczema covered the skin on her arms and legs. Following my advice, she started to rub her own urine onto her arms and legs. The pain and itching disappeared immediately, and after a few days, her arms were only red. She plucked up the courage to drink urine, and gained so much faith in her healing that she even started drinking extra water so that she would produce more urine. After two weeks, the eczema had completely disappeared. And it has not come back since! 93 Urine therapy has convinced me of the healing power we all possess within ourselves, not only metaphysical but also physical. Thank you, my body, for the magical power of your water. I bow in respect for the water of life!"  The Golden Fountain by Coen van der Kroon  FEVER  “Sheth Nagindas Vidyavihar is a famous and popular school of Ahmedabad. Its former Principal, the renowned Gujarati litteratuer, Shri Jheenabhai Desai (sne


 nies.
Much to my surprise, in a  back ward, one not open to the public, I noticed a number of people with bright purple skins.
    I asked the staff about this and every one of the psychiatrists denied these patients existed. This outright and widely -agreed -upon
lie really raised my cur iosity. Finally after pouring through the journals in the hospital library I found an article describing psycho
tropic -drug-induced disruptions of melanin (the dark skin pigment). Thorazine, a commonly used psychiatric drug, when taken in
high doses over a  long period of time would do this. Excess melanin eventually was deposited in vital organs such as the heart and
the liver, causing death.
    I found it especially upsetting to see patients receive electroshock treatments. These violent, physician -induc ed traumas did
seem to disrupt dysfunctional thought patterns such as an impulse to commit suicide, but afterwards the victim couldn't remem ber
huge parts of their life or even recall who they were. Like many other dangerous medical treatments, electroshoc k can save life but
it can also take life away by obliterating identity.
    According the Hippocratic Oath, the first criteria of a treatment is that it should do no harm. Once again I found myself tra pped
in a system that made me feel severe protest. Ye t none of these specialists or university professors, or academic libraries had any
information about alternatives. Worse, none of these mind -doctor -gods were even looking for better treatments.
    Though unpleasant and profoundly disappointing, my experi ence as a mental hospital psychologist was, like being in nursing
school, also very valuable. Not only did I learn how to diagnose, and evaluate the severity of mental illness and assess the
dangerousness of the mentally ill, I learned to understand them, to feel comfortable with them, and found that I was never afraid of
them. Fearlessness is a huge advantage. The mentally ill seem to have a heightened ability to spot fear in others. If they se nse that
you are afraid they frequently enjoy terrorizing you. When psychotic people know you feel comfortable with them, and probably
understand a great deal of what they are experiencing, when they know that you can and intend to control them, they experienc e a
huge sense of relief. I could always get mentally ill p eople to tell me what was really going on in their heads when no one else
could get them to communicate.
    A few years later I married an American and became the Mental Health Coordinator for Whatcom County, the northwestern
corner of Washington State. I  handled all the legal proceedings in the county for mentally ill people. After treatment in the state
mental hospital I supervised their reentry into the community, and attempted to provide some follow up. This work further
confirmed my conclusions that i n most cases the mentally ill weren't helped by conventional treatment. Most of them rapidly
became social problems after discharge. It seemed the mental hospital's only ethically defensible function was incarceration --
providing temporary relief for the fa mily and community from the mentally ill person's destructiveness.
    I did see a few people recover in the mental health system. Inevitably these were young, and had not yet become
institutionalized, a term describing someone who comes to like being in the hospital because confinement feels safe.
Hospitalization can mean three square meals and a bed. It frequently means an opportunity to have a sex life (many female inm ates
are highly promiscuous). Many psychotics are also criminal; the hospital seems fa r better to them than jail. Many chronically
mentally ill are also experts at manipulating the system. When homeless, they deliberately get hospitalized for some outrageo us
deed just before winter. They then "recover" when the fine weather of spring return s.
    After a year as Mental Health Co -ordinator, I had enough of the "system" and decided that it was as good a time as any to return
to school for a Ph.D., this time at University. of Oregon where I studied clinical and counseling psychology and geronto logy.
While in graduate school I became pregnant and had my first child. Not surprisingly, this experience profoundly changed my
consciousness. I realized that it had perhaps been all right for me to be somewhat irresponsible about my own nutrition and h ealth,
but that it was not okay to inflict poor nutrition on my unborn child. At that time I was addicted to salty, deep -fat fried corn chips
and a diet pop. I thought I had to have these so -called foods every day. I tended to eat for taste, in other words, what I liked, not
necessarily what would give me the best nutrition. I was also eating a lot of what most people would consider healthy food: m eat,
cheese, milk, whole grains, nuts, vegetables, and fruits.
    My constitution had seemed strong and vital e nough through my twenties to allow this level of dietary irresponsibility. During
my early 20s I had even recovered from a breast cancer by sheer will power. (I will discuss this later.) So before my pregnan cy I
had not questioned my eating habits.
    As my body changed and adapted itself to it's new purpose I began visiting the libraries and voraciously read everything
obtainable under the topic of nutrition --all the texts, current magazines, nutritional journals, and health newsletters. My childhood
habit of self -directed study paid off. I discovered alternative health magazines like Let's Live, Prevention, Organic Gardening, and
Best Ways, and promptly obtained every back issue since they were first published. Along the way I ran into articles by Linus
Pauling on vitamin C, and sent away for all of his books, one of these was co -authored with David Hawkins, called The
Orthomolecular Approach to Mental Disorders.
    This book had a profound effect on me. I instantly recognized that it was Truth with a ca pital "T", although the orthomolecular
approach was clearly in opposition to the established medical model and contradicted everything I had ever learned as a stude nt or
professional. Here at last was the exciting alternative approach to treating mental di sorders I had so long sought. I filed this
information away, waiting for an opportunity to use it. And I began to study all the references in The Orthomolecular Approac h to
Mental Disorders dealing with correcting the perceptual functioning of psychotic pe ople using natural substances.
    In the course of delving through libraries and book stores, I also came across the Mokelumne Hill Publishing Company (now
defunct). This obscure publisher reprinted many unusual and generally crudely reproduced out -of-print books about raw foods
diets, hygienic medicine, fruitarianism, fasting, breathairianism, plus some works discussing spiritual aspects of living tha t were
far more esoteric than I had ever thought existed. I decided that weird or not, I might as well fin d out everything potentially useful.
So I spent a lot of money ordering their books. Some of Mokelumne Hill's material really expanded my thoughts. Though much of
it seemed totally outrageous, in every book there usually was one line, one paragraph, or if I was lucky one whole chapter that rang
true for me.
    Recognizing capital "T" Truth when one sees it is one of the most important abilities a person can have. Unfortunately, every
aspect of our mass educational system attempts to invalidate this skill. Students are repeatedly told that derivation from recognized
authority and/or the scientific method are the only valid means to assess the validity of data. But there is another parallel  method to
determine the truth or falsehood of information: Knowing. W e Know by the simple method of looking at something and
recognizing its correctness. It is a spiritual ability. I believe we all have it. But in my case, I never lost the ability to  Know because
I almost never attended school.
    Thus it is that I am absolutely certain How and When to Be Your Own Doctor will be recognized as Truth by some of my
readers and rejected as unscientific, unsubstantiated, or anecdotal information by others. I accept this limitation on my abi lity to
teach. If what you read in the following pages seems True for you, great! If it doesn't, there is little or nothing I could do to further
convince.
    I return now to the time of my first pregnancy. In the face of all these new Truths I was discovering conc erning health and
nutrition, I made immediate changes in my diet. I severely reduced my animal protein intake and limited cooked food in genera l. I
began taking vitamin and mineral supplements. I also choose a highly atypical Ph.D. dissertation topic, "The  Orthomolecular
Treatment of Mental Disorders." This fifty cent word, orthomolecular, basically means readjusting the body chemistry by
providing unusually large amounts of specific nutrient substances normally found in the human body (vitamins and mineral s).
Orthomolecular therapy for mental disorders is supported by good diet, by removal of allergy -producing substances, by control of
hypoglycemia, plus counseling, and provision of a therapeutic environment.
    My proposed dissertation topic met with not hing but opposition. The professors on my doctoral committee had never heard of
the word orthomolecular, and all of them were certain it wasn't an accepted, traditional area of research. Research in academ ia is
supposed to be based on the works of a previo us researchers who arrived at hypothesis based on data obtained by strictly following
scientific


illing drugs that can be extremely damaging to these
organs. Such drugs include aspirin, phenacetin and acetominophen. People often
don't experience any symptoms from loss of kidney function until 90% of the
function is gone, and then the damage is irreversible.
The kidneys should be flushed each day with liberal quantities of fluid, either RO
filtered water, distilled water or fresh fruit and vegetable juices (preferably organic).
Parsley tea is excellent for strengthening the kidneys. Those with kidney problems
should avoid ordinary commercial teas and coffee as a beverage. Herbal teas are
acceptable.
For those who tend to retain fluid, watermelon is an excellent diuretic. If the melon
is organically grown, the rind should be juiced and sipped first thing in the morning
and then the red fleshy part of the fruit may be eaten. Two mornings a week, one may
take the juice of a whole lemon in warm RO filtered water or distilled water as a
diuretic (citrus should not be used more than 2 days a week, as it tends to upset the
calcium-phosphorus metabolism if used more frequently). Shavegrass or horsetail tea
is a good diuretic and also good for the skin and hair. An excellent diuretic salad may
be made by combining cabbage and onions — finely sliced — with crushed raw
garlic, parsley, and herbs like sage, cumin, and juniper berries, if available. Cover this
mixture with very hot RO filtered water or distilled water and place a lid over it for 10
minutes. Drain the mixture (the liquid is good to save for soup bases, grains, etc.) and
97

squeeze a lemon over it. It can be eaten as is or refrigerated first. It can also be mixed
with other salads.
In extreme fluid retention, one's physician may prescribe a diuretic drug, which is
permissible, and the doctor w ill normally increase the intake of potassium to
compensate for its loss due to the drug.
In kidney disease the protein intake should be limited and extra vitamins and
minerals taken.
Cleansing The Lungs
Life is dependent upon the adequate exchanges of gases in the lungs. The most
significant are the removal of carbonic acid and the flow of oxygen into the blood.
The lungs give off many other gaseous wastes. Sometimes before, but more frequently
after the start of Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Program the patient or those close
to him or her may notice a foul odor on the breath. No amount of toothpaste or
mouthwash will remove it for long, since it comes from the bloodstream. One can be
assured, however, that this is only a phase and that the poisons are leaving the body.
If there is excessive accumulation of mucus in the nostrils and/or bronchial system,
this inhibits the detoxification functions of the lungs. Mucus-forming food should be
avoided if mucus is a problem. These are principally dairy products, with the
exception of butter and cream, and baked flour products. Anti-mucus foods such as
raw onions and garlic, cayenne pepper, freshly ground black pepper, fresh ginger,
and horseradish should be eaten liberally.
Cleansing The Skin
Most people overlook the skin as an organ of detoxification. But it is sometimes
called "the third kidney," since many of its functions in fluid and electrolyte balance
are similar to those of the kidneys. When great amounts of poisons flood the body, all
systems are overloaded and this function of the skin is sorely needed. As the skin is
utilized, all sorts of eruptions, odors, colors, and blemishes may appear. These
conditions will disappear as the body becomes purified.
One can quickly assess the relative efficiency of elimination through the skin by
looking at his iris (the colored portion of the eye). The skin is represented by the
outermost part of the iris. If it is very dark and dense, the condition is called a "scurf
rim" in iridology, and it means that the skin is relatively blocked as an organ of
elimination. To open it up, skin brushing before a shower and vigorous use of a
loofah sponge in the shower are recommended. A good quality vegetable-bristle, skin
98
Winning The Cancer War
brush should be purchased from the health food store or pharmacy. One should
brush up the front of the body and down the back, over all exposed skin surfaces,
until a warm glow is felt. Then one should take a warm shower and rub briskly with a
loofah sponge (available in most health food stores) to remove the layers of dead skin
loosened by the brushing. (We have found it best to take a hot shower each morning.)
Castile or other pure soap should be used — but in a minimal amount, since heavy
soaping w ill wash all the valuable skin oils off and can cause the skin to overproduce
oil in order to compensate. The hair should be shampooed frequently with a non
chemical soap or shampoo, which can be found in health food stores.
At the end of the shower, one should turn the water to cool, then to warm. As one
becomes accustomed to the temperature change, he or she may go from hot to cold
and back several times. This exercises the tiny muscles in the skin, which control
dilation and contraction of the pores. As they become stronger, they can respond
better to the physiological demands of the body.
After the shower, one can sit in a tub of water with a cup of apple cider vinegar
added, to restore and strengthen the acid mantle of the skin. Afterward, the body
should be dried and rubbed briskly with a towel until a warm glow is felt.
Epsom salt baths may also be used to help draw toxins out of the skin. These baths
are especially beneficial if one is going through a "healing crisis" and is especially
toxic and feeling bad. Such a bath works best after the skin brushing and use of a
loofah sponge. A tub is filled with warm to hot water and 4 or more cups of Epsom
salt are dissolved in it. This bath is quite relaxing and good for tense, sore muscles,
and may be taken as often as needed.
Every fourth night the cancer patient should be rubbed from head to toe with a
mixture of olive oil and castor oil in equal parts. Then a hot soaking bath should be
taken for 15 minutes to allow the oil to penetrate. This is followed by going to bed
under heavy covers for about one hour to sweat the poisons out. Then a cleansing
shower is taken. This may be discontinued after three months.
Irrigating the Nostrils
Salt-water irrigation of the nostrils is very helpful with nasal mucus and sinus
congestion alike. If one cannot breathe through the nose, he or she is bypassing a
crucial filtering mechanism which warms and humidifies the air, and which removes
large amounts of smoke and dust before this air reaches the back of one's throat.
Mouth breathing places incalculable stress on the lungs, nearly equivalent to that of
cigarette smoking if one lives in urban pollution.
99
Winning The Cancer War
To irrigate the nostrils, dissolve 1  teaspoon of sea salt in 16 ounces of warm water
in a bowl of appropriate size. While bending forward, block one nostril and place the
other below the water surface in the bowl. The water should be gently pulled up the
nostril until one can taste the salty mixture trickling to the back of the throat; then it
should be blown out. This should be repeated with the other nostril and alternated
several times.
Breathing Exercises
Breathing exercises should follow the cleansing of the nostrils. If done on a regular
basis, these yield tremendous benefits. They increase the body's supply of oxygen
(which is the basic currency for repair and for burning up toxins), step up the removal
of waste products and stagnant air from portions of the lungs otherwise unused, and
exercise the diaphragm — which serves as a pump for the flow of oxygen and nerve
energy.
Deep breathing yields a multitude of benefits through maximum use of lung
capacity.
Rapid breathing is an energizing exercise, which promotes flow of energy into the
lungs and digestive organs. It should be done before meals, after being in a stuffy
room, or whenever a lift is needed.
Alternate-nostril breathing has a calming effect on the nervous system. It can be
used effectively to overcome anxiety states and insomnia, and sometimes to relieve
headaches.
Breath is the external manifestation of our life force. It is our very life. We can live for
a while without food or drink, but not without breath.
Exercising
In almost every case of cancer, particularly those cases of long standing, the protein
from the muscles has been used to maintain life. In other words protein metabolism
has been so poor that the body had to take protein from the muscles and, to a very
great degree, the muscles have been consumed.
After the cancer is destroyed, the muscles begin to rebuild. This takes
approximately three years. If the muscles are exercised strenuously during this time a
hernia may develop. For this reason we have found it best to replace strenuous
exercise with a brisk walk at least once a day for three years following therapy.

 taking re-
sponsibility for their own feelings, and three-fourths bestowing
blame on external sources. Where do you fit in? Virtually all shoulds
and traditions are imposed by external sources. That is, they come
from someone or something outside of yourself. If you are loaded
with shoulds and unable to break conventions which are prescribed
by others, then you are in the external bag.
An excellent example of this externally directed kind of thinking
is a client who came to me recently. We’ll call her Barbara. Her major
grievance was an obesity problem, but she had a host of minor
complaints as well. When we started to discuss her weight problem,
she said that she had always been overweight because she had a
metabolism problem and also because her mother had forced food
on her as a child. Her pattern of140 / Your Erroneous Zonesovereating continued now, she said, because her husband had neg-
lected her and her children were inconsiderate of her. She had tried
everything, she lamented—Weight Watchers, pills, a variety of diet
doctors, even astrology. Therapy was to be her last resort. If I couldn’t
make her lose weight, she said, no one could.
As Barbara told her story—and viewed her own dilemma—it was
no wonder she couldn’t lose those unwanted pounds. Everything
and everybody was conspiring against her—her mother, her hus-
band, her children, even her own body and the stars. Weight
Watchers and diet doctors might be able to help less afflicted souls
but in Barbara’s case the odds against her were too great.
Barbara was a classic example of external thinking. It was her
mother, her husband, her children and some uncontrollable part of
her own body that made her fat. It had nothing to do with her own
choices to eat, or overeat, certain foods at certain times. Moreover,
her attempts to alleviate her situation were as externally directed as
her perceptions of the problem itself. Instead of recognizing that she
had chosen to overeat in the past and she would have to learn to
make new choices if she wanted to lose weight, Barbara turned to
other people and things—society’s accepted conventions for weight
loss. When all her friends went to Weight Watchers, Barbara went.
Each time a friend discovered a new diet doctor, Barbara was close
on her heels for help.
After several weeks of counseling, Barbara began to recognize
that her unhappiness and her complaints were the result of her own
choices, not the actions of others. It began with an admission that
she simply ate too much, often more than she really wanted, and
did not exercise enough. Her first decision was to change her eating
habits through sheer self-discipline. She could and would manipulate
her own mind. Next time she felt hungry she resolved to reward
herself with thoughts of her own internal strength rather than a
cookie. Instead of blaming her husband and children for treating
her badly and driving her to food, sheBREAKING THE BARRIER OF CONVENTION  / 141began to see that she had been playing the martyr for years, virtually
begging them to exploit her. Once Barbara began demanding to be
treated well, she found that her family was only too ready to treat
her that way, and instead of seeking solace in food she found fulfill-
ment in relationships based on mutual respect and love.
Barbara even decided to spend less time with her mother who she
had come to see as running her life and ruining it with overdoses
of food. Once Barbara came to recognize that her mother did not
control her and that she could see her when she chose to, not when
her mother said she should, and similarly that she didn’t have to
eat that piece of chocolate cake just because her mother said she
should, Barbara began to enjoy rather than resent the time they spent
together.
Finally Barbara realized that therapy had nothing to do with
anything outside herself. I couldn’t change her. She had to change
herself. It took time, but gradually, with effort, Barbara replaced her
external shoulds with internal standards of her own. She is now not
only thinner, but happier as well. She knows that it isn’t her husband
or her children, her mother or the stars that are making her happy.
She knows it is herself, for now she controls her own mind.
Fatalists, determinists and people who believe in luck are in the
external slot. If you believe that your life is mapped out for you in
advance, and you need only follow the appropriate roads, then you
are very likely loaded with all of the shoulds that will keep you on
your road map.
You can never find self-fulfillment if you persist in permitting
yourself to be controlled by external forces or persist in thinking
that you are controlled by external forces. Being effective does not
mean eliminating all of the problems in your life. It does mean
moving your locus of control from the external to the internal. In
that way you make yourself responsible for everything that you ex-
perience emotionally. You are not a robot, running your life through
a maze, filled up with other people’s rules and142 / Your Erroneous Zonesregulations that don’t even make sense to you. You can take a
sterner look at the “rules” and begin to exercise some internal control
over your own thinking, feeling and behavior.
BLAMING AND HERO WORSHIP: OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE
SAME EXTERNALLY DIRECTED BEHAVIOR
Blame is a neat little device that you can use whenever you don’t
want to take responsibility for something in your life. It is the refuge
of the externally oriented person.
All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find
with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will
not change you. The only thing blame does is keep the focus off you
when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappi-
ness or frustration. But blame itself is an act of folly. Even if blame
has some effect, it will not be on you. You may succeed in making
another feel guilty for something by blaming him, but you won’t
succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you
unhappy. You may succeed in not thinking about it; but you won’t
succeed in changing it.
The tendency to focus on others can go to the opposite extreme
where it surfaces as hero worship. In this case you may find yourself
looking to others to determine your values. If so-and-so does it, then
I should do it too. Hero worship is a form of self-repudiation. It
makes others more important than you, and relates your own fulfill-
ment to something outside of yourself. While there is nothing self-
defeating about appreciating others and their accomplishments, it
becomes an erroneous zone when you model your own behavior
on their standards.
All of your heroes are people. They are all human. They do the
same things that you do every day. They itch where you itch, they
have bad breath in the morning just like you. (The only good hero
is a ham and cheese or possibly an eggplant par-migiana.) All are
wasteful of your efforts.BREAKING THE BARRIER OF CONVENTION  / 143All the great heroes of your life have taught you nothing. And
they are no better than you, in any way. Politicians, actors, athletes,
rock-stars, your boss, therapist, teacher, spouse, or whoever, are just
skillful at what they do—nothing more. And if you make them your
heroes and elevate them to positions above yourself, then you are
into that external bag of giving others the responsibility for your
good feelings.
If you blame at one end or hero worship at the other, you are
someplace on this Focusing On Others Line.
You are behaving as a fool if you look outside of you for an explan-
ation of how you should feel or what you should do. Taking credit
as well as responsibility for yourself is the first step to eliminating
this erroneous zone. Be your own hero. When you get out of the
blaming and hero worship behavior you’ll be moving over from the
external to the internal side of the ledger. And on the internal side
there are no universal shoulds, either for yourself or for others.
The Right vs. Wrong Trap
The question of right vs. wrong as it applies here has nothing to
do with religious, philosophical or moral issues of a priori  rightness
or wrongness. That is a discussion for another place. Here the subject
is you, and how your notions of right and wrong get in the way of
your own happiness. Your rights and wrongs are your universal
shoulds. You may have adopted some unhealthy stances which in-
clude right means good or just, while wrong is equated with bad or
unjust. This is nonsense. Rights and wrongs in this sense do not exist.
The word right144 / Your Erroneous Zonesimplies a guarantee that if you do something a certain way, you’ll
have sure-fire results. But there are no guarantees. You can begin to
think in terms of any decision as bringing about something different,
or more effective, or legal, but the moment it becomes a question of
right vs. wrong, you are trapped into the “I’ve always got to be right
and when things or people are not right, then I’m going to be un-
happy” trap.

4. Albuminuria: The Mumbai Samachar, 19-7-72, had published
a report of the recovery of Shri Kiran Dhirajlal. The following is its
translation :
11lrf 1963 I became a patient of albuminuria. Doctors stated that
allopathy had no rem~dy for it. Six weeks' allopthic treatment could
make no effect. At last, dejected I came to Bombay with my father
to get proper treatm_ent. The medical experts there also said that it
had no remedy. Three months' stay in Bombay and allopathic
treatment too could make no dent on the complaint.
So at my father;s instance I began the.auto-urine treatment. I
used to drink all the urine I could pass. On the fourth day
. examination of urine showed that there was no strain·of albumen in
urine. Whatever was not possib~e for more than four months'
allopthic treatment;~_was accomplished by auto-urine therapy in
three days. After a f2..\> more days' treatment of the same I was fully
restored to health. I am now fully hale and hearty.
On the strength of my experience I encouraged others to resort
to urine therapy. Those who have undergone this treatment with
faith and patience have been fully cured. When an old woman
suffering from a few incurable diseases and was counting her last
days on deathbed, someone introduced her to wine treatment. And
she is wholly restored to health due to auto-urine therapy.

Fortunately a neighbour gave a book on auto-urine to my father.
Reading this there.emerged a silver lining to the dark clouds of
despair. After long persuasion my mother agreed to the treatment.
She would drink her urine and my sister would massage her with
seven days' old urine. In a short while she was cured and restored
to health.
The same treatment has profited me in freeing me from
five-year-old eczema. Others also are equally being profited by

Bhojraj Sancheti in May 19;72. pstening her tale of woe Shri
Sancheti warned her : "There are possibilites in urie therapy of
reactions and· aggravations. Only after patiently o;ind firmly braving
them can One acqulre freedom from disease." On her amusing him
of her eagerness and faith Bhojraj began treatment of urine therapy. ·
On the first day she suffered from frequent vomits and motions. On
the second day motions subsided but vomiting continued till three
days. But Kamaladevi was not disheartened.- On the 14th day the
fast was broken with mosambi juice. For some days she was kept
on juice. Later she resumed her light diet. To be relieved of the
gases, headache, etc.-the usual reactions of western medication -
she restored to hip-bath. For about two months she drank urine
thrice and massaged for two hours. After three or four' months she
was utterly well and completely regained her health and strenght.
