many dormant universal truths to come to light in our heart’s
consciousness.  As our hearts awaken and open, we can rise
within to the essential light that  guides our divine purpose,
life path, soulful healing, inner gr ace, and cosmic prosperity.
Prosperous thinking and feeling comes from joy and
prosperity within.  When you feel your riches inside, they must reflect in your outer world as well.  As within - so without.  Thus, living in a state of cosm ic wealth might initially be
defined as:  living the joy of remembering, cultivating, and allowing the wealth of love and light – of Source energy, to flow
through your inner life and manifest in your outer  life – by
consciously and deliberately choosing  to do so.  Essentially,
cosmic wealth is a beautiful and conscious inner rising, to expansively experience Source flow in all areas of our lives.  With the creative power of deliberate and thoughtful intention, the conscious choice to release our resistance to our divine perfection, and the attraction power coursing through the unseen laws that govern this magnificent universe, an abundance of all good things becomes our life experience  and our personal story of rich, harmonic, and prosperous  well-being.       To everything, there is an art.  And to the creation of cosmic wealth, there is an art to embracing this soulful expansion - with joy, trust, truth, gratitude, and positivity.   Let me be clear that the prosperity and the creative magic in  the cosmos already eternally /G0D/G0F.  But it is inherent in the divine
design of the universe that we  assert our free will to choose our Cosmic Wealth 17
experiences.  We may choose to block our flow of prosperous
well-being.  Or we may choose to experience deliberate expansion and the art of allo wing, that opens the divine
doorways, which allow the magic and prosperity to flow.
In the chapters of this book, I outline some of the gems
of my own journey, that have helped me to consciously release resistance and to flow with greater ease into the rich escrow of my divine birthright.  These insi ghts are offered as conscious
steps taken to materialize the rich inner life that I for so long desired, but previously misunderstood how to achieve.  For  me, unearthing these steps was the great gift of the journey.  And they have provided the fine-tuning to hone greater truths, a zooming out for a broader pe rspective, and the essential
tweaking that was necessary - to glide into the truth of my spirit, my infinite blessed natu re, and my cosmic wealth and
well-being.  These truths have offered me the keys to a greater prosperity than I had ever thou ght imaginable.  It is in the
world of the unseen that we often finally /G04/G05/G05 /G20/G01/G01/G18/G0B/G12/G10/G01/G0B/G12/G16/G01/G22/G04/G04/G03/G01
my experience.
I offer these concepts to you now, through a
metaphysical lens and belief in  the interconnectedness of all
things.  May you find these ideas helpful, growth-ful, health-ful, and prosperous, to birth /G1A/G07/G12/G09 /G01/G0E/G05/G12/G03/G11/G04/G16/G10/G01/G11/G04/G16/G02/G05/G04/G16/G01/G12/G03/G11/G01/G10/G07/G01/G04/G26/G0D/G04/G05/G02/G04/G03/G13/G04/G01

experience, or physical magic.
/G28 Spirit, 1/13/09

/G01 I was born a believer.  Not in any one religion, culture,
or creed - but in the glow of the universe.  I can remember being
blissful in my inner wo rld, connected with all that is divine, and
really unaffected by any contrasting energies in my family, my community, or the world at large.  Bliss was my natural state.    For my first seven years of life, I had a perfect invisible shield around me.  Not of armo r, but of love.  You see, I
believed in the magic of the universe.  I was a very creative child, and had a deep sense of play and joy in my spirit.  I felt
and I lived my light.  I was alive and aware.  I believed in Santa
for a very long time, and I lived in that magical energetic inner emotional space, believing and knowing somehow intuitively that the essence of Santa (his jolly, loving, generous, creative,
magical, abundant, and prosperous nature) was the same as  the essence of God.  To me, Santa’s toy workshop with all of his elves, his reindeer, and the North Pole were the essence of God,
Spirit, the angels, and what many  think of as heaven.  And in
the outer world, in the Christian culture, the miracle of Jesus’
birth and the magic of Santa are paired together, in a single dual
celebration.
I believed and felt all of this until one day, a childhood
neighbor of mine jolted me out of this beautiful blissful space when she gruffly blurted out, “ There is no Santa. /G24/G01/G01/G2C/G04/G05/G01/G0D/G12/G02/G03/G01
and loss, I can see now, was evident in that blurt, but it was nothing compared to mine.  Later that day, my parents confirmed their belief that there is no Santa.  That Santa is a
myth, a simple and nice made-up story, and that was it.  And so, I walked the road that so many others have walked before
me, the road of disbelief and dis enchantment.  To me, it wasThe Magic of Belief 19
more than losing Santa.  It was more than losing the magic.  It
was about losing my connection with my Source, from whom

Most thyroid medications (especially Synthroid®) do not affect T4 to T3
conversion well. This means that the thyroid is always hypoactive even
when blood serum levels of TSHs, T4s and T3s appear to be normal

MODULE 8.4Herbal Rejuvenation for Each Body System

This section contains a recommended diet, plus specific herbs or herbal
formulas for each body system. Some of the Herbal Formulas (Detoxifiers
and Strengtheners) recommended here have already been discussed and
specified in
Module 8.3
:
Power Herbal Formulas.
 For example, “Adrenal
Glands,” “Blood” or “Lungs.” Other Herbal Formulas listed in this section are
simply described by their generic application, such as “Spleen” or Liver-
Gallbladder.” Both the single herbs and the herbal formulas recommended
can be found in many health food stores, or by contacting the herbal
companies suggested in
Appendix C
:
Resource Guide
 at the back of this
book. While different herbal companies may call their herbal formulas by
various names, the point is to find one designed for the particular body
system or organ that needs rejuvenation.
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM

STRUCTURES
 — Heart, vascular system (arteries, capillaries and veins),
and the blood (also part of the digestive system).
DIET
 — A living, raw food diet consisting mainly of fruits will alkalize
(create an anti-inflammatory effect) the vascular system, which creates an
ionic reaction. This means that lipid (cholesterol) plaque and mineral deposits
will dissolve, and red blood cells that have bonded will break free. This will
increase circulation, blood biodynamics, “thin” the blood, and lower blood
pressure. This reduces or eliminates the risk of strokes or heart attacks and
increases oxygenation of your body.

  are Master  of your  world.  In the  Fulness  of
the Love,  the Power  of Divine  Love,  which  I am able  to
release  to you;  if you  will  do this,  I will  assist  you  to a
Victory  and  Speed  of Achievement  which  will  delight  you.
We think  the time  has come,  when  the Beloved  Students
everywhere,  must  feel  and  make  manifest  This  Dominion
in their  lives.  There  always  comes  a time  in the Life  and
Expansion  of the Light  of every  Individual,  where  after  a
certain  amount  of prompting,  each  one  is left as you  often
term  it—"upon  his own,  to sink  or swim."  Does  that  sound
cruel?  No!  We  often  feel  the Call  of students,  longing  to
lay their  heads  upon  Our  Chests  and  weep;  to arouse  Our
Sympathy  to take  their  defense.  Well,  you  may  lay your
heads  upon  Our  Chests,  but  not  to weep;  only  to rejoice
by the Power  of your  own  Victory!
Sometimes,  when  the  feeling  comes  to Us—Oh,  if the
Ascended  Masters  are all this,  why  don't  They  do some-
thing?  They  are  doing  plenty  all the  time,  but  let Me 218 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
remind  you,  the Messengers  did  not  have  Us pick  them
up and  carry  them  around!  They  had  to apply  the Law
for their  own  Protection;  for everything  which  they  have,
and when  you  will  apply  as dynamically  as they  have;  and
when  you  will  refuse  acceptance  into  your  world  of all
foolish  human  gossip,  you  will  have  your  Freedom  then
and there!
Is it not comical,  that  after  all the Magnificent  Work  the
Messengers  have  done,  the  Wonderful  Light  they  have
brought  to mankind,  there  are still  a few  who  cannot  help
but gossip?  Isn't  it comical?  It is not  serious,  not  at all;
but it shows  you  what  you  should  avoid.
I bring  this  point  to you  tonight,  for I think  it will  be of
great  assistance.  When  you  hear  of, or someone  expresses
some  destructive  or discordant  thing,  won't  you  be alert
and say silently:  There  is something  which  I must  avoid;
or I will  be reaping  the same  thing  he or she  is." It is a
marvelous  means  of prompting  yourself  to avoid  the things,
the destructive  qualities  acting,  which  you  see acting  in
others.
Remember,  another  thing:  every  one  who  expresses  dis-
cord  of any  kind—now  this  is concerning  the General  Law
of Life—is  but counter-acting  the Great  Light,  called  forth
to bring  Release  and  Freedom  to mankind.  Do  you  see
that?  Already  the  world  is weighted  down,  by human
creations  of discord  thruout  the  many  centuries.  Relief
must  come  now,  if mankind  is to survive.  We  are doing
everything  possible  to be done.  If you  do not think  We  are DISCOURSE  VIII  219
Truthful,  then  of course  you  have  lost  the Benefit  which
We try to give;  but  when  We  see from  Our  Unlimited
Standpoint,  your  Requirement,  won't  you  let Us help  you
to quickly  become  Free  from  every  limiting  thing?  We
are all right!  We  are  perfectly  safe,  but  I question  your
safety,  unless  you  are willing  to give  This  Obedience.
It is wonderful,  Beloved  Ones,  so very  wonderful  to come
to the point,  where  you  are alert  and  see the activities  about
you,  the effects  which  they  are producing  and  what  is act-
ing. Then,  you  will  always  be Master  of the situation;  but
the moment  something  can  sweep  you  into  some  kind  of
discord,  it has  its foot  on your  neck;  just  as definitely  as
you would  put  your  physical  foot  on the neck  of an Indi-
vidual,  and  you  know  what  that  means!  It means  you  are
under  its control  for the time  being.
This  is sufficient  for your  prompting.  Now  let us take  a
little  happier  consideration  in the achievement.  Will  you
listen  carefully  to Me,  while  I state  a few  things  which
should  mean  Everything  in the world  to you!  Let  Me  re-
mind  you,  of the beginning  of My Effort  in San  Francisco,
when  I attempted  to give  you  Greater  Assistance,  in the
consuming  of one-third  of your  own  accumulation  of the
centuries.  Sometimes,  you  expect  your  friends  to render
you a service  do you  not?  Sometimes  to do you  favors!
Well  do you  think  your  physical  friends  are as willing  to
render  you  a Service  as I was ? Let us think  deeply,  this  is
meaning  a Great  Deal.  I was  willing  to render  This  Service
for every  honest,  earnest,  sincere  "I AM"  Student,  which 220 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
I did!  I did My Part!  Then  came  the time,  when  another
one-third  was  consumed!  Do not feel,  I have  done  that  for
any one  who  has not been  willing  to give  the Obedience
required;  but the Great  Release  to those  who  have  obeyed,
is manifest  today  in their  Lives.
Now  has come  the Great  Astrea!  I question  the Wisdom,
tonight,  of stating  to you,  the number  of discarnates  who
have  been  taken  out of the Earth's  atmosphere  in the past
eight  months;  for We  have  a Record  of every  one.  Book-
keepers  and  accountants  in the physical  world  think  you
have  considerable  to do;  but  I tell  you,  the Records  We
are compelled  to keep  far surpass  yours;  and  believe  Me,
as accurate  as your  Records  are here,  so are Our  Records
accurate.  I shall  think  it over  and  perhaps,  give  you  in
definite  figures,  the  number  which  have  been  removed
from  the Earth  in the past  eight  months.
That  is why  all over  America,  the pressure  upon  Indi-
viduals  is so tremendously  less  today;  and  why  there  are
hundreds  of thousands  who  feel  it definitely.  This  does
not mean  just  the "I AM"  Students;  because  it has  taken
the pressure  from  thousands  and  thousands  of people  who
never  heard  of This  "I AM"  Activity;  but  THAT  is the
Service  which  must  be rendered  mankind.  People  who  are
relieved  from  the pressure  of their  relatives  and  friends  in
their  invisible  association,  are feeling  definitely  This  Great,
This  Tremendous  Release.
We are just  having  a little  resume,  tonight.  Think  of it,
the Beloved  Goddess  of Liberty,  was  the Great  Wisdom  and DISCOURSE  VIII  221

to know  so well—the  third  episode  of which,  We are trying
now  to prevent  acting  in your  Beloved  Country.  She,  in

 cold is Mother Nature and God forcing you to fast!
Hippocrates, Aristotle, Galen, Paracelsus, Plato, Socrates and other great
philosophers, scientists and physicians for centuries have used fasting as
a method of cleansing, healing and renewing the body, mind and soul.
Knowing and following these teachings will mean
true life and good health for you. – Proverbs 4:22Fasts are vitally important for they give the body a break from the
digestive process, and allow it to release stored toxins and get them out.
Chapter 982Fasting Balances Your Thermostat Naturally
I have fasted for so many years that I am perceptive
to what a fast is doing for me. My inner voice seems to
tell me when it’s time to break each fast.  Remember, letyour body and inner voice guide you, for your body
wants you healthy, alive and the toxins removed!
I always mark on my calendar a fast for my spring
“house cleaning.” My spring fast always runs the full 10
days because that is when I truly want to clean house
after a long winter. During our Bragg Health Crusades, Iam often forced to talk in over-heated halls and
auditoriums. I am sorry to say that most humans cannot
take the cold weather, nor can they stand a fresh, healthy,well-ventilated hall. So I must forget my feelings and
lecture in these over-heated halls to the hot-house plants
of modern civilization that most people have become.
Fasting so greatly purifies the body and so exhilarates
the body’s functions that the thermostatic system of the
body works with more efficiency. For instance, I can leavemy desert home near Palm Springs, California, in January– when the heat averages in the
80s during the day and
the nights in the 60s – board an airplane to Midwestern
cities such as Duluth or Minneapolis, Minnesota or to aCanadian city such as Toronto – where the temperature
will be as low as
 10 to 30 degrees below zero and, because
of fasting and natural living, my body will adjust easilyto this bitterly cold winter weather.
I find I can take the most frigid weather better than
most of the inhabitants who are supposedly acclimatedto their own climate. This ability to adjust to climate is
only one of the many fasting miracles that happen to
the body. Fasting gives the body a chance to flush outthe toxic poisons and build up its Vital Nerve Force.
But, as I have stated earlier, when I go to the cities
that are locked in freezing weather, I find that their hallsand auditoriums are overheated. There is so little oxygen
in the air that my body will naturally absorb some of
the carbon dioxide that people expel from their lungs
during their breathing process. That is why my spring83
Health is the most natural thing in the world. It is natural to be healthy
because we are a part of Mother Nature – we are nature. Nature is trying hardto keep us well, because she needs us in her business. – Elbert Hubbardfasting is so valuable. I want that  10 day fast to flush out
of my body any accumulated toxins, plus any other toxic
poisons that are found in those artificially heated halls.
That’s why my springtime fast is always 7 to 10 days.
Then when summer rolls around, I take a  7 day fast
in late July or August. This is the easiest of all my fasts
because I have been eating large amounts of luscious,fresh fruits and garden-fresh organically grown
vegetables. I believe I enjoy my summer fast more than
any other. In fact, this fast is so easy that I never stopeither my heavy physical exercise or mental activities.
My autumn fast can be anytime in late October or during
November. It also extends from
 7 to 10 days.
Fasting truly has many cumulative miracle effects. I
fast about  75 days a year. It is a great physiological rest I
give my body and digestive organs. This includes myliver, gallbladder, and all other faithful organs, including
the ones producing hormones, that are running my body
and keeping me healthy! The physiological rest that Igive my pancreas allows it to produce ample insulin.This also goes for the stomach, where so many digestive
juices are needed to handle and digest my food intake.
Mother Nature Intended the Body and
Breath to Be Sweet and Free from Odors
You will find after a fast that you’ll have more saliva
which contains the important enzyme amylase. You will
discover that your mouth will taste sweeter and yourbreath will be clean. The more you fast, the less mouth
and body odor you will have! I never need deodorants.
Several years ago I supervised a fasting program for a
student who came to California from New York. His
problem was a terrifically bad body odor that exuded
from every part of his body, particularly from under hisarms, the palms of his hands and his feet. The odor can
only be described as putrid. It wasn’t that the man didn’t
take baths – because he told me that he took as many as843 and 4 hot, soapy showers or baths daily and would use
all kinds of deodorants or antiperspirants. But it was all
to no avail, for that horrible body odor persisted. He
was becoming a nervous wreck because he felt like asocial outcast. He not only had a bad body odor, but he
had such heavy halitosis his breath could knock you
over! He used gargles, lozenges, chewed mint gum, butstill that rancid, bad breath persisted.
Unhealthy Lifestyle Causes Unhealthy Life
When questioning this man before putting him on
his first fast, I found that he had been enervated byterrible lifestyle habits, overwork, marital difficulties and
heavy financial responsibilities. When you enervate
yourself, over-expend your nervous energy and exhaustyour Vital Force, the elimination organs can’t do their
job effectively and efficiently. This man was plainly
suffering from chronic nervous fatigue! His eating habitswere unhealthy. His working day was so busy that he
would gobble a sandwich and wash it down with coffee.
He simply didn’t take time to prepare healthy meals. Hewas constipated and his elimination was off it’s rhythm.
I told him it had taken years to get his body into this
decaying condition and that a program of fasting andnatural living would take time to accomplish its mission.
But he was an intelligent and logically thinking man
and fully cooperated with our Bragg Healthy LifestyleProgram. I started him on a series of
 36 hour fasts and
between the fasts, I gradually added more raw fruit and
vegetables to his heavily concentrated diet of refinedsugars, fats and meat. I believe there must be a transition
period between changing from a unhealthy diet to a
healthy diet. It’s best not to force the body to changequickly. You must take things slowly. Instead of eating
meat
 3 times a day, he now ate meat only once a day. He
had been a great eater of white bread, so I substituted
100%  whole grain breads. It’s best oven dry toasted.
Use your feet as Mother Nature intended. Give them every possible freedom.
Go barefoot every chance you get. I do! For more info read Bragg Foot Book!
Famous Dr. Scholl said, “The Bragg Foot Program is the best”.85Fasting Pulls Out Toxins and Poisons
In time I put him on a 7 day fast. The first three days
were rough because he was now eliminating largeamounts of toxic poisons. He vomited some mucus andyellowish-green bile during the first
4 days. When
nauseated it’s best to drink water, then vomit toxins outthat have collected in your stomach. You will feel betterright away. The
5th day he broke out in a cleansing rash
that lasted a few days, then vanished. The odor that camefrom his body and breath was almost unbearable! Hegave me a specimen of his first urine  every morning.He sealed it tightly, dated it and stored it on a shelf tosettle. Be sure and do this. Fasting is a cleansing-healingmiracle! The proof is the foul urine that comes out!
I am well-acquainted with the sickening odor of
putrid urine, being a health practitioner. In my manyyears in the health field, I’ve spent time in hospitalsand health spas inspiring patients to cleanse; recovertheir health; be strong; always live a healthy lifestyle;and treasure and protect their life!
After his
7 day fast, I eliminated more refined foods
and gave him more raw fruits and  raw vegetables. Afterseveral more weeks, I put him on a
 10 day fast. This was
a much easier fast for him, but he still eliminated heavyamounts of toxins. This is called the “latent poison” thatbecomes concentrated in the cells of the body. It takestime with regular fasting and a cleansing diet of freshorganic fruits and salads and the Bragg Vinegar Drink(page
230) to slowly dislodge these deeply stored toxins.
Often people will say to me, “Well, with all due
respect to your philosophy of living, I am a perfectlyhealthy person. I eat what agrees with me, drink all thecoffee I want and eat what normal people eat.” But Iknow better, I know poisons are accumulating in theirtissues

and


 on is asking yourself how you can serve humanity, and asking
yourself what your unique talent s are. Because you have a unique talent that
no one else has, and you have a special way of expressing that talent, and
no one else has it.   They ended up going to the best schools, getting the best
grades, and even in college, they are unique in that they are financially self-
sufficient, becau se they are focused on what they are here to give. This
then, is the Law of Dharma. There are three components to the Law of
Dharma. The first component says that each of us is here to discover our
true Self, to find out on our own that our true Self is spiritual, that
essentially we are spiritual beings that have taken manifestation in physical
form. We  re not human beings that have occasional spiritual experiences   it  s
the other way around: we  re spiritual beings that have occasional human
experiences. Each of us is here to discover our higher self or our spiritual
self. That  s the first fulfillment of the Law of Dharma. We must find out for
ourself that inside us is a god or goddess in embryo that wants to be born so
that we can express our divinity. The second component of the Law of
Dharma is to express our unique talents. The Law of Dharma says that
every human being has a unique talent. You have a talent that is unique in
its The Seven spiritual laws of Success
¶34
expression, so unique that there  s no one else alive on this planet that has
that talent, or that expression of that talent. This means that there  s one thing
you can do, and one way of doing it, that is better than anyone else on this
entire planet. When you  re doing that one thing, you lose track of time.
When you  re expressing that one unique talent that you possess   or more
than one unique talent in many cases   the expression of that talent takes you
into timeless awareness.
The third component of the Law of Dharma is service to humanity   to serve
your fellow human beings and to ask yourself the questions,  How can I
help? How can I help all those that I come into contact with?   When you
combine the ability to express your unique talent with service to humanity,
then you make full use of the Law of Dharma. And coupled with the
experience of your own spiritual ity, the field of pure potentiality, there is noway you will not have access to unlimited abundance, because  that is the
real way abundance is achieve d. This is not a temporary abundance; it  s
permanent, because of your unique talent, your way of expres sing it, and
your service and dedication to your fellow human beings, which you
discover through  asking the question,  How can I help?   instead of  What  s in
it for me?
The question,  What  s in it for me?   is the internal dialogue of the ego. Asking
How can I help?   is the interna l dialogue of the spirit. The spirit is that
domain of your awareness where you experience your universality. In just
shifting your internal dialogue from  What  s in it for me?   to  How can I help?
you automatically go beyond the ego into the domain of your spirit. While
meditation is the most useful way of entering the domain of spirit, simply
shifting your internal dialogue to  How can I help?   will also access the spirit,
that domain of your awareness where you experience your universality.
If you want to make maximum use of the Law of Dharma, then you have to
make several commitments.
The first commitment is: I am going to seek my higher self, which is
beyond my ego, through spiritual practice.
The second commitment is: I am going to discover my unique talents, and
finding my unique talents, I am going to enjoy myself, because  the process
of enjoyment occurs when I go into timeless awareness. That  s when I am in
a state of bliss. The third commitment is: I am going to ask myself how I
am best suited to serve humanity. I am going to answer that question and
then put it into practice. I am going to use my unique talents to serve the
needs of my fellow human beings   I will match those needs to my desire to
help and serve others.
Sit down and make a list of the answers to these two questions: Ask
yourself, if money was no conc ern and you had all the time and money in
the world, what would you do? If you would still do what you currently do,
then you are in dharma, because  you have passion for what you do   you are
expressing your unique talents. Then ask yourself: How am I best suited to
serve humanity?  Answer that question, and put it into practic e. Discover
your divinity, find your unique talent, serve humanity with it, and you cangenerate all the wealth that you want. When your creative expressions
match the needs of your fellow  humans, then wealth will spontaneously
flow from the unmanifest into the manifest, from the realm of the spirit to
the world of form. You will begin to experience your life as a miraculous
expression of divinity   not just occasionally, but all the time. And you will
know true joy and the true meaning of success   the ecstasy and exultation of
your own spirit. 35
The law of purpose ¶
APPL YING THE LA W OF  DHARMA   OR PURPOSE IN LIFE
I will put the Law ofDharma into effect by making a commitment to take
the following steps:(1) Today I will lovingly nurture the god or goddess in
embryo that lies deep within my soul. I will pay attention to the spirit within
me that animates both my body  and my mind. I will awaken myself to this
deep stillness within my heart. I will carry the consciousness of timeless,
eternal Being in the midst of time-bound experience. (2) I will make a list
of my unique talents. Then I will list all the things that I love to do while
expressing my unique talents. When 1 express my unique talents and use
them in the service of humanity, I lose track of time and create abundance
in my life as well as in the lives of others.
(3) I will ask myself daily,  How can I serve?   and  How can I help?   The
answers to these questions will allow me to help and serve my fellow
human beings with love.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
I want to know God  s thoughts...
the rest are details.
 Albert Einstein
The universal mind choreograph s everything that is happening in billions of
galaxies with elegant precision and unfaltering intelligence. Its intelligence
is ultimate and supreme, and it permeates every fiber of existence: from the
smallest to the largest, from the atom to the cosmos. Everything  that is aliveis an expression  of this intellige nce. And this intelligence operates through
The Seven Spiritual Laws. If you look at any cell in the human body, you
will see through its functioning the expression of these laws.  Every cell,
whether it  s a stomach cell, or a heart cell, or a brain cell, has its birth in the
Law of Pure Potentiality. DNA is a perfect example of pure potentiality; in
fact, it is the material expression of pure potentiality. The same DNA
existing in every cell expresses itself in different ways in order to fulfill the
unique requirem ents of that particular cell. Each cell also opera tes through
the Law of Giving. A cell is alive and healthy when it is in a state of
balance and equilibrium. This state of equilibrium is one of fulfillment and
harmony, but it is maintained by a constant give and take. Each cell gives to
and supp orts every other cell, and in turn is nourished by every other cell.
The cell is always in a state of dynamic flow and the flow is never
interrupted. In fact, the flow is the very essence of the life of the cell. And
only by maintaining this flow of giving is the cell able to recei ve and thus
continue its vibrant existence. The Law of Karma is exquisitely executed by
every cell, because built into its intelligence is the most appropriate and
precisely correct response to every situation as it occurs. The Law of Least
Effort is also exquisitely execut ed by every cell in the body: it does its job
with quiet efficiency in the state of restful alertness. The Seven spiritual
laws of Success
¶36
Through the Law of Intention and Desire, every intention of every cell
harnesses the infinite organizin g power of nature  s intelligence. Even a
simple intention  such as metabolizing a molecule of sugar imme diately sets
off a symphony of events in the body where precise amounts of hormones
have to be secreted at precise moments to convert this molecule of sugar
into pure creative ener gy.
Of course, every cell expresses the Law of Detachment. It is detached from
the outcome of its intentions. It doesn  t stumble or falter because its
behaviour is a


 years when activ e pollution begins. Unless a
physician is very tactful, youths will not confess. I will say that very few boys have been untruthful to me. This
practice is not quite so common with the opposite sex.

   The physical abuse in this line is not nearly so ene rvating
as allowing the mind to dwell on sex -subjects. Lascivious
dreaming debauches the victim as much as excessive
venery. Early pollution, followed by excessive venery,
often communizes a mind that would shine in the forum
and in intellectual pursuits. There is a difference, however,
in garrulity and garrulous parroting, and giving a feast of
reason. Bright intellects at twenty and twenty -five often
degenerate into mediocrity at forty -five because of brain -
enervation due to venereal excess. Add to sex - abuse,
tobacco, coffee, tea, alcohol, and excessive or wrong
eating, and no wonder man at sixty is fit for little else than
chloroforming, if nature has not already administered
euthanasia.

ADULTS

   Adults, too, have much fear in their lives. The b read-and-
butter problem gives anxiety; but when enough has been
accumulated, so that fear along this line is unnecessary,
fear is felt that something may happen that will put them  back in the breadline. Why? There is no confidence in
business ethics —there is no God in business.

   Business Worries. —Business worries are a source of
enervation. Business —any business —is not the cause of
worry. A work well done is a delight, and anything that
delights is character -building. A work slovenly carried on
dissati sfies; but the worrier never looks within to find the
cause. This life brings enervation in time, and disease as a
sequel; then more worries looking for a cure. Business is
what a man makes of it. A thorough understanding of
business, with honesty and indu stry, removes all worries
and saves nerve - energy. Worry does not build efficiency;
neither is inefficiency removed by worrying. Worry, lack of
control over the emotions, improper eating, stimulants, all
build disease.

   Nothing is so conducive to poise  as a thorough
understanding of one’s personal habits and occupation.
Bluff and bluster may put the idea of efficiency “across” to
the people for a time; but, as surely as chickens come home
to roost, the truth will out. Worry, even though presenting a
smooth exterior, will break through; the worker will break
down —disease will claim him for its own. Housewives
who carry a burden of worry become enervated and lose
health. The cause of their worry is lack of control of eating, lack of control of the emotions, lack of care of the body,
and lack of efficiency. Instead of resolutely going to work
to remove all the defects, they are downed by them. An
uncontrollable temper must be downed, or it will down the
one who gives way to it. Gossip is not an admirable qua lity,
and, unless overcome, it will in time drive friends away.
Envy and jealousy are cancers that eat the soul out of those
who indulge them. What is left to love when the soul is
gone?

   When anyone, from indolence and health -destroying
habits, allows  himself to gravitate below the standard
expected of him by his friends, he must not be surprised
when they run away from him.

   Who are the old people who are left alone? Those who
have lived selfish lives —who have demanded
entertainment when they shou ld have been entertaining
themselves. Happiness and entertainment must come from
within —from a love of service, work, books. If this
fountain of youth and pleasure is not found before old age
creeps over us, we shall find ourselves alone. Even in the
midst  of a throng we shall be alone, forever alone. What
could be more pathetic?

   Self-Indulgence. —Self-indulgence is contrary to ethics and brings its condemnation. What about the ethics of
gluttons —what about their religion? Excess in everything
follows o n the heels of abnormal selfish indulgence.
Coming under this head are self -pity and a desire for cure.
Extravagant habits, even if there is an inexhaustible supply,
builds a self -destructive morale, on the heels of which, like
a nemesis, runs the trail to  premature death. The causes are
called heart disease, apoplexy, paralysis, kidney disease,
suicide, etc.; but what is in a name? Names are all
misleading; for the cause —first, last, and all the time —is a
selfish body and mind —destructive self -indulgence.

   A study of nature reveals the fact that man must live for
service; not giving alms, but helping others to help
themselves.

   Self -indulgence in the use of stimulants, even in
moderation, is a constant drain on the nervous system; and
a time comes w hen the last cigar, the last cup of coffee, the
last hearty meal, snaps the vital cord; and the contingency
is always unexpected and a surprise.

   Overwork is said to enervate; but this is an excuse behind
which are hidden many bad habits that kill, rat her than the
work. Work without pleasure in the work is enervating and
disease -building; an unsatisfied mind —a desire to engage in some other work before efficiency has been attained in
the work engaged in; more desire for pay than to do good
work. A work is never well done until it takes on the
individuality of the worker. We should work with the
creative instinct. Our work should be created in the image
of its creator —love of the creator —of the work’ not the
emoluments.

   Dissatisfaction and overwork ed emotions are enervating.
Worry, fear, grief, anger, passion, temper, overjoy,
depression, dissatisfaction, self -pity, pride, egotism, envy,
jealousy, gossip, lying, dishonesty, failing to meet
obligations and appointments, taking advantage of
misunderst andings, abusing the credulity of friends,
abusing the confidence of those who confide in us —all
enervate and in time build incurable disease.

   Grief. —Grief is enervating. Those who are very
enervated and toxemic will be prostrated by grief, and,
unless put to bed and kept warm and quiet, and without
food, may die. Food eaten under such circumstances will
not digest, but acts as a poison. Some people are made
invalids for life by a great grief.

   Shock. —Shock, mental or physical, may enervate so
greatly as to kill by heart failure, or be followed by permanent nervousness. Wrong eating or overeating may
prevent a return to health. The shell -shock that many
soldiers suffered during the World War was converted into
permanent invalidism by tobacco and oth er enervating
habits. Certainly overeating prevents a return to health.

   Anger. —Anger is very enervating. A daily shock of anger
will build profound enervation. A temper that flies at the
slightest provocation ruins digestion and builds
nervousness. Un less controlled, epilepsy may evolve, and
cancer may end life. The chronic grouch is liable to build
ulcer or cancer of the stomach. Those who cannot control
their temper often build rheumatic arthritis, hard arteries,
gall-stone, and early old age.

   Egotism. —Because of self -love, selfishness, misanthropy,
and distrust, the egotist sees unfriendliness in all the acts of
others —every hand is against him. This causes enervation
and Toxemia, which lead on to many nervous
derangements, and even insanity. A misanthrope loves self
above everything and everybody. The moment the nearest
and dearest friend is suspected, the friend’s head comes off
figuratively. The egotist hates all who fail to feed his
vanity. Hate and anger are always on tap, but draped with a
mocking smile when finesse or stratagem demands.
Friendship, honor, honesty, and veracity must go when self-interest is being impinged upon or neglected. Men of
this type have no gratitude. They demand everything, and
give nothing without an ulterior motiv e. Where egotism is
mild, it may not go beyond a disagreeable, overbearing
selfishness.

   Selfishness. —A selfish nature always looks after self first.
A common type of selfishness is interpreted as love of
children. But when a son or daughter marries ag ainst the
father’s wish, disinheritance follows. Why? Because
ambition is piqued. Love is oftener a selfish ambition than
affection. Selfishness leads on


. Also, vulvar cancer, which Grant and Garland
10 did not include, was significantly inversely
correlated with UVB in the iron and zinc study,43 as well as in
Boscoe and Schymura’s ecologic study of cancer incidence and mortality rates for 1998–2002.
24 Also, evidence that vitamin D
reduces the risk of melanoma is mounting. Thus, there are 12 types of cancer for which ecologic studies of cancer mortality rates in the United States for 1970–1994, and one for which the UVB
20 Dermato-Endocrinology 2009; Vol. 1 Issue 1Vitamin D and cancer: Causality?
research is the time lag between vitamin D increases and cancer
risk reduction. Cancer can take anywhere from several years to several decades to progress from initiation to clinical detection or death. Vitamin D could play a role in reducing cancer initiation, such as for cancers linked to viruses (Epstein-Barr virus [EBV]) for Hodgkin’s lymphoma and probably for several others.
76 As
mentioned, early life UVB irradiance was inversely correlated with prostate cancer risk.
73
Vitamin D also seems to play an important role late in the
development of cancer. The vitamin D and calcium randomized, controlled trial by Lappe et al.
12 found a 77% reduction in all-
cancer risk for postmenopausal women between the ends of the first and fourth years, of which 35% was attributed to vitamin D. Because most cancers take 15–20 years to proceed from initiation to clinical detection, this study is consistent with an important role in cancer prevention at the later stages of development, possibly through antiangiogenesis
101 and antimetastasis102 mechanisms.
The series of studies in Norway finding increased survival rates for those diagnosed with cancer in summer or fall compared with winter or spring for breast cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer and Hodgkin’s lymphoma
13 also support the role of vitamin D
late in cancer. Some observational studies also reported increased survival rates associated with higher serum 25(OH)D levels, as for colorectal cancer
103 and breast cancer. In a study of postmeno-
pausal Canadian women, distant disease-free survival during a period of up to 17 years was significantly worse in women with prediagnostic deficient (<20 ng/mL) versus adequate (>29 ng/mL) serum 25(OH)D levels [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.94, 95% CI, 1.16–3.24; p = 0.02], as was overall survival (HR = 1.73, 95% CI, 1.05–2.86; p = 0.02).
104
Biological gradient (dose-response relation). Demonstrating a
dose-response relation, preferably linear, between vitamin D and cancer risk is important for supporting vitamin D’s beneficial role. Meta-analyses of case-control data have determined dose-response relations for serum calcidiol levels and incidence of breast and colon cancer. For colorectal cancer, a 50% lower risk of colorectal cancer was associated with a serum 25(OH)D level of at least 33 ng/mL compared with 12 ng/mL or less.
55 For breast cancer, a meta-analysis
found that serum 25(OH)D of approximately 52 ng/mL had 50% lower risk of breast cancer than those with a serum level less than 13 ng/mL.
54 However, the dose-response relation in Abbas et al.57 was
similar to that for colorectal cancer.
Many vitamin D supplementation studies found no benefit in
reducing the risk of cancer from using too little vitamin D, generally about 400 IU/day, as reviewed in Grant and Garland.
18 Even the
Women’s Health Initiative study, started in the mid-1990s, used too little vitamin D (400 IU/day) and generally found no benefit for colorectal cancer,
20 hip fractures19 or diabetes.21 However, there was
a positive finding for colorectal cancer when estrogen therapy was also considered.
105
Some evidence now exists that the vitamin D dose–cancer
response relation for breast cancer is nonlinear, with a threshold effect at about 20 ng/mL.
57 This finding may help explain why 400 IU/
day seemingly has no effect on cancer rates. Evidently serum vitamin D metabolites are used for an endocrine mechanism (regulation of calcium absorption) before they are used for autocrine mechanisms (facilitation of gene expression).
106and low rates in all southern states. Prostate cancer is also unusual for vitamin D-sensitive cancers in that prediagnostic serum 25(OH)D has generally been found uncorrelated with incidence of prostate cancer;
70 however, it has also been found associated with increased
risk29,71 and decreased risk.29,72 However, early life UVB is protec-
tive,73 as is UVB around the time of cancer discovery,74 suggesting
that vitamin D may inhibit metastasis. Ecologic studies have consis-tently found an inverse correlation of prostate cancer with latitude.
75
Grant hypothesized that the geographic variation of prostate cancer mortality rates in the United States is related to a viral risk that is more common in winter and that higher serum 25(OH)D levels in winter reduce the risk of such infections.
76,77 An ecologic study determining
that prostate cancer is diagnosed more often in winter supports this hypothesis.
78 Stat3 is involved in prostate cancer metastasis.79 Grant
showed that vitamin D can block Stat3, which might explain why vitamin D is beneficial once prostate cancer is discovered.
80
Solar UV has been correlated with risk of NHL in the United
Kingdom.81 However, further study determined that other factors,
such as economic status, were probably confounders.82 The most recent
analysis concludes that UVB irradiance reduces the risk of NHL.58
Evidence that vitamin D reduces the risk of lung cancer is limited.
An observational study of early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) associated higher serum 25(OH)D levels with increased survival.
83 However, in advanced NSCLC, survival depended on
vitamin D receptor alleles rather than on circulating serum 25(OH)D levels.
84 In Norway, there is no survival advantage for discovery of
NSCLC in summer or fall compared with winter or spring.13 In an
ecological study involving 111 countries, lung cancer was inversely correlated with indices of solar UVB.
39 However, this study did not
consider dietary factors, which may have affected the finding because dietary fat seems to be a risk factor for lung cancer.
85 A recent cohort
study in Finland found serum 25(OH)D level was inversely associated with lung cancer incidence for women [RR, 0.16; 95% CI, 0.04–0.59; P(trend) < 0.001] and younger participants [RR, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.13–0.90; P(trend) = 0.04] but not for men [RR, 1.03; 95% CI, 0.59–1.82; P(trend) = 0.81] or older individuals [RR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.50–1.70; P(trend) = 0.79].
86 Thus, there is modest evidence that
higher serum 25(OH)D levels confer protection against lung cancer.
Melanoma is an interesting cancer with respect to UV irradi-
ance and vitamin D. Studies have found good evidence that UVA, not UVB, is the primary risk factor for melanoma.
87-92 Also, good
evidence exists that vitamin D reduces the risk of melanoma,93
including findings related to diet,94 sunlight,95 NMSC,26 blocking
solar UVB92 and vitamin D receptor alleles.96 Also, melanoma
mortality rates increase with increasing latitude in Europe,97 which
reflects an effect of skin pigmentation, UVA and UVB.87 UVA is
also a double-edged sword in that it also produces elastosis, which reduces the risk of melanoma as evidenced by melanoma’s devel-oping later in life on the face and neck rather than on the trunk and legs.
98 Smoking also produces elastosis, which seems to explain why
smokers have a reduced risk of developing melanoma.56
Specificity (one agent, one result). Specificity (one agent, one
result) does not apply to vitamin D because it has benefits for many types of disease ranging from cardiovascular diseases to infectious diseases.

Analogy with other causal relationships. Analogy is a double-
edged sword for vitamin D and risk of cancer incidence or mortality
rate. On the positive side, I used the principle of analogy when I viewed the Atlas of Cancer Mortality in the United States, 1950–94.
7
Many cancers had geographical variations in mortality rate similar to those of cancers well known to be vitamin D sensitive, such as breast and colon cancer. I concluded that most of them were, therefore, also vitamin D sensitive.
22
On the negative side, some studies have suggested that various
vitamins reduce the risk of cancer only to learn after randomized, controlled trials that they did not. The best known case is that of beta carotene. Early studies of beta carot


 I had been so ‘pure!'
    On further reflection I remembered that I had a tendency toward constipation all through my childhood and young adulthood,
and that during my two pregnancies the press ure of the fetus on an already constipated bowel had made it worse resulting in the
distorted structure seen in the X -ray. This experience made it very clear that fasting, cleansing diets, and corrected diet would not
reverse damage already done. Proper di et and fasting would however, prevent the condition of the colon from getting any worse
than it already was.
    I then realized that I had just purchased the very tool I needed to correct my own colon, and I was eager to get home to get
started on it. I had previously thought that I was just going to use this machine for my patients, because they had been asking for
this kind of an adjunct to my services for some time. I ended up giving myself over a hundred colonics at the rate of three a  week
over many months. I then out of curiosity had another barium enema and X -ray to validate my results. Sure enough the picture
showed a colon that looked far more ‘normal' with no vulvulus. That little "e" had disappeared.

What Is Constipation?
    Most people think they are not constipated because they have a bowel movement almost every day, accomplished without
straining. I have even had clients tell me that they have a bowel movement once a week, and they are quite certain that they are not
constipated. The most su rprising thing to novice fasters is that repeated enemas or colonics during fasting begins to release many
pounds of undeniably real, old, caked fecal matter and/or huge mucus strings. The first -time faster can hardly believe these were
present. These old fecal deposits do not come out the first time one has enemas or necessarily the fifth time. And all of them will
not be removed by the tenth enema. But over the course of extended fasting or a long spell of light raw food eating with repe ated
daily enemas,  amazing changes do begin to occur. It seems that no one who has eaten a civilized diet has escaped the formation of
caked deposits lining the colon's walls, interfering with its function. This material does not respond to laxatives or casual ly
administere d enemas.
    Anyone who has not actually seen (and smelled) what comes out of an "average" apparently healthy person during colonics will
really believe it could happen or can accurately imagine it. Often there are dark black lumpy strings, lumps, or grav el, evil
smelling discs shaped like sculpted hemispheres similar to the pockets lining the wall of the colon itself. These discs are r ock-hard
and may come out looking like long black braids. There may also be long tangled strings of gray/brown mucous, she ets and flakes
of mucous, and worse yet, an occasional worm (tape worm) or many smaller ones. Once confronted however, it is not hard to
imagine how these fecal rocks and other obnoxious debris interfere with the proper function of the colon. They make the  colon's
wall rigid and interfere with peristalsis thus leading to further problems with constipation, and interfere with adsorption o f
nutrients.
    Our modern diet is by its "de -"nature, very constipating. In the trenches of the First World War, cheese was given the name
‘chokem ass' because the soldiers eating this as a part of their daily ration developed severe constipation. Eaten by itself or with
other whole foods, moderate amounts of cheese may not produce health problems in people who are capable of digesting dairy
products. But cheese when combined with white flour becomes especially constipating. White bread or most white -flour crackers
contain a lot of gluten, a very sticky wheat protein that makes the bread bind together and raise well. But whi te flour is lacking the
bran, where most of the fiber is located. And many other processed foods are missing their fiber.
    In an earlier chapter I briefly showed how digestion works by following food from the mouth to the large intestine. To fully
grasp  why becoming constipated is almost a certainty in our civilization a few more details are required. Food leaving the small
intestine is called chyme, a semi -liquid mixture of fiber, undigested bits, indigestible bits, and the remains of digestive enzymes.
Chyme is propelled through the large intestine by muscular contractions. The large intestine operates on what I dub the "chew
chew train" principle, where the most recent meal you ate enters the large intestine as the caboose (the last car of a train)  and helps
to push out the train engine (the car at the front that toots), which in a healthy colon should represent the meal eaten perh aps
twelve hours earlier. The muscles in the colon only contract when they are stretched, so it is the volume of the fecal m atter
stretching the large intestine that triggers the muscles to push the waste material along toward the rectum and anus.
    Eating food lacking fiber greatly reduces the volume of the chyme and slows peristalsis. But moving through fast or slow, the
colon still keeps on doing another of its jobs, which is to transfer the water in the chime back into the bloodstream, reducin g
dehydration. So the longer chime remains in the colon, the dryer and harder and stickier it gets. That's why once arrived at the "end
of the tracks" fecal matter should be evacuated in a timely manner before it gets to dry and too hard to be moved easily. Som e
constipated people do have a bowel movement every day but are evacuating the meal eaten many days or even a week previously.
    Most hygienists believe that when the colon becomes lined with hardened fecal matter it is permanently and by the very
definition of the word itself, constipated. This type of constipation is not perceived as an uncomfortable or overly full fee ling o r a
desire to have a bowel movement that won't pass. But it has insidious effects. Usually constipation delays transit time, incr easing
the adsorption of toxins generated from misdigestion of food; by coating and locking up significant portions of colon it  also
reduces the adsorption of certain minerals and electrolytes.
    Sometimes, extremely constipated people have almost constant runny bowels because the colon has become so thickly and
impenetrably lined with old fecal matter that it no longer removes  much moisture. This condition is often misinterpreted as
diarrhea. The large intestine's most important task is to transfer water -soluble minerals from digested food to the blood. When a
significant part of the colon's surface becomes coated with impermea ble dried rigid fecal matter or mucus it can no longer
assimilate effectively and the body begins to experience partial mineral starvation in the presence of plenty. It is my obser vation
from dozens of cases that when the colon has been effectively cleanse d the person has a tendency to gain weight while eating
amounts of food that before only maintained body weight, while people who could not gain weight or who were wasting away
despite eating heavily begin to gain. And problems like soft fingernails, bone loss around teeth or porous bones tend to improve.

    The history of my own constipation, though it especially relates to a very rustic childhood, is typical of many people. I was  also
raised on a very constipating diet which consisted largely of processed cheese and crackers. Mine was accelerated by shyne ss,
amplified by lack of comfortable facilities.
    I spent my early years on the Canadian prairies, where everybody had an outhouse. The fancy modern versions are frequently
seen on construction sites. These are chemical toilets, quiet different than th e ones I was raised with because somebody or
something mysteriously comes along, empties them and installs toilet paper. The ones I'm familiar with quickly developed a ba d-
smelling steaming mound in the center --or it was winter when the outhouse was so col d that everything froze almost before it hit
the ground in the hole below. (And my rear end seemed to almost freeze to the seat!) The toilet paper was usually an out of s eason
issue of Eatons mail order catalogue with crisp glossy paper. Perhaps it is a pe culiarity of the north country, but at night there are
always monsters lurking along the path to the outhouse, and darkness comes early and stays late.
    When nature called and it was daylight, and there was no blizzard outside, the outhouse received a visit from me. If on the other
hand, when it was dark (we had no electricity), and there was a cold wind creating huge banks of snow, I would ‘just skip it,'
because the alternative --an indoor chamber pot, white enamel with a lid --was worse. This potty had  to be used more or less
publicly because the bedrooms were shared and there was no indoor bathroom. I was always very modest about my private parts
and private functions, and potty's were only used in emergencies, and usually with considerable embarrassme nt. No one ever
explained to me that it was not good for me to retain fecal matter, and I never thought about it unless my movements became s o
hard that it was painful to eliminate.
    Later in life, I continued this pattern of putting off bowel movement s, even though outhouses and potties were a thing

Douglas Clayton Hoover
Author

 Douglas is a retired contractor, author, freelance writer, inventor, designer,
architect and lives in San Diego, CA with his wife Alice.

He is the founder and developer of
the “
Distillation Station,” the
very “first bottled water vending machines in the United States.”

The original station was placed in Bill's IGA Store, Brooklyn, Michigan, in
1976. Douglas Hoover has been studying water and its relationship to
health for over 40 years.

He rarely debates with the distilled water naysayers, because, “A man with
an experience is not at the mercy of a man with an argument.”
Douglas is a living example of the miraculous health benefits of a “
fasting
lifestyle
” and drinking plenty of distilled water.

In the year 1976, just a
stone's throw from the
Michigan International
 Speedway, in Bill's IGA
(Independent Grocers Association
) distilled
 water was being installed by
Doug Hoover of the Aquamedia Corporation. Nine years later, in June of
1985, the owner of Bill's IGA store reported sales
of Crystal
 Distilled
drinking water was in excess of 2500 gallons per week in addition to over
1,500 pounds
of Crystal

Distilled ice
 cubes. Brooklyn has a population of
1,300! He was excited to add
that the Crystal

Distilled drinking
 water from
the Distillation
 Station produced the highest profit margin of any item in his
store." Crystal Distilled water and ice is produced by steam vapor
compression distillation which kills all bacteria and cysts, removing
everything from the water, resulting in the purest, healthiest water
available, distilled!

Remember you need not use soap on your face or hands. Just rinse off.
It's sterile, it's clean, it's free and as natural as you can get.
Now the "washing of your hands in the morning and also evening will give

25 The Product of Your Own Metabolism
I came across a book for which I realize is one of the most read books on
urine therapy of someone who truly had serious problems.
She became a practitioner and had the most impressive good health return
to her.
The book is entitled, "Your Own Perfect Medicine" by Martha Christy.
She has an interesting story to tell.
Ms. Christy was very sick for a very long time. Pelvic inflammatory disease,
ulcerative colitis, Chron's disease, chronic fatigue syndrome,
Hashimoto's disease, mononucleosis.
She had severe kidney infections, two miscarriages, chronic cystitis,
severe candida, endometriosis, adrenal insufficiency, serious chronic ear
and sinus infections and food and chemical allergies.
She had every possible medical test, many surgeries, and a deluge of
drugs.
Then she tried all forms of alternative therapy such as Homeopathy, herbs,
mega-vitamins, juicing and liv-cell treatments in Mexico.
After traditional medicine failed to work, she and her husband spent more
than $100,000.00 trying to get her well with alternative approaches. Nothing
worked.
her husband found and brought home a small book that told of how many
people throughout the world had been cured of even the worst diseases
with a seemingly strange and secretive natural therapy.
Soon afterwards, she began the therapy herself.
From the first day she began, she received almost instantaneous relief
from her incurable constipation and fluid retention.
Within a week, her severe abdominal and pelvic pain vanished.
Her chronic cystitis an~ yeast infections (internal and external)
soon disappeared.
Her food allergies, exhaustion, and digestive problems all began to heal.
In only a few months, her colds, flu, sore throats and viral symptoms
disappeared.
26 Her hair had fallen out in clumps after her fifth surgery now became thick
and lustrous while her weight normalized, and her energy and strength
came back.
After nearly 30 years of non-stop illness, Martha Christy was whole again.
What was the therapy and methods that she had discovered?
What was this therapy that can help seriously ill patients gain complete
remissions from their afflictions? What was it that she actually did?
Well, she orally, topically and medicinally re-consumed her own urine.
You must understand and recompile what society has taught us and now
realize that urine is not the substance we think it is.
In Christy's book she explains...
Urine is not, the excess water from food and liquids that goes through the
intestines and is released from the body as "waste".
When you eat, the food is eventually broken down in the stomach and
intestines into molecules.
The molecules are then absorbed into tiny tubules in the intestinal wall and
finally passed through the tubes into the blood stream.
The blood circulation of your body carries these food molecules and other
nutrients, along with critical immune defense and regulating elements, red
and white blood cells, antibodies, plasma, microscopic proteins,
hormones, enzymes, etc., which are all manufactured at different locations
in the body.
The circulating blood then passes through the liver where toxins are
removed and later excreted from the body in the form of solid waste.
Eventually, this now purified blood continues on to the kidneys.
Blood enters the kidneys and is filtered through a complex and intricate
system of minute tubules called nephron through which the blood is
literally "squeezed" at high pressure.
This filtering process removes excess amounts of water, salts and other
elements in the blood that your body does not need at the time.
These excess elements are collected within the kidney in the form of a
purified, sterile, watery solution called urine. Many of the constituents of
this filtered watery solution, or urine, are then reabsorbed by the nephrons
and delivered back into the bloodstream while the remainder of the urine
passes out of the kidneys into the bladder & then excreted from the body.
The function of the kidneys is to keep the complexity of your blood
balanced.
When your body doesn't have need for a specific vitamin, mineral and
enzyme that you have taken through alternative measures, food product or
you're body creating at a particular time, they are released through the
bladder. They are released not because they are toxic, poisonous,
27 waste or bad for the body,
but simply because the body does not need those elements at the time.
Medical researchers have discovered that many of the elements of blood
that are found in urine have enormous medicinal value. When reintroduced
to the body, they boost the body's immune defenses and stimulate healing
in a way that nothing can possible do. Drugs included.
In 1975, one of the founders of Miles Laboratories, Dr. A. H. Free, published
his book Urinalysis in Clinical Laboratory Practice


drugs or with the knife, and
if the patients die, so much the worse for their relatives, whilst the
doctor is credited with having done his best  with a hopeless  case. One
may  perhaps argue  that a layman who has found an efficacious  cure  for 127
 diseases should qualify himself  to be an orthodox doctor, at least in
name if not in fact.  But how can a man  with any pretentions  to
uprightness  bring himself  to study a system of medicine in which  he
does not believe, and which  he regards as a menace  to his health? And
for what? Merely that he should be able to diagnose a given number  of
diseases and  call them by polysyllabic  names? And supposing,  as with
urine‐therapy,  the name of the disease has nothing to do with the
selection  of the treatment?  What then? Indeed,  the necessity for a
correct diagnosis  before a line of treatment  can be decided upon, is one
of the drawbacks  and limitations  of allopathy.  For example, if a woman
has a growth  in her breast, the first thing a doctor wants  to determine
is whether it is malignant  or "benign."  But with urine‐therapy such  a
question  is not of the least importance,  since, as we have witnessed,
the treatment  for all diseases is virtually the same procedure,  seeing
that in the patient lies the "magic fluid" to cure  his or her ills, and  the
only prerequisite  is to refrain from food  (like the animals) so as to give
Nature  her chance to do the work. And she will do it in her own way
provided she is not interfered  with.  This I have observed  again and
again with regard to the movement  of the bowels  during a urine‐fast
plus plain cold water. Whereas t he "orthodox  " naturopath  thinks  it
necessary  to assist the bowels with enemata  during a fast on cold water
alone or on fruit juices (a mistaken policy) on no account  should such
measures  "be resorted to during a urine‐fast, for Nature  must be left to
determine  when the bowels  shall move. What we have to remember  is
that in fasting, urine, taken via the mouth heals, rebuilds and  re‐
conditions  the vital  organs including the intestines,  and  while this
process is taking place, often  the bowels  seem,  as it were, to go to
sleep and  relapse into a state  of inactivity,  which  in severe cases may 128
 even last as long as 19 days. Yet this  inactivity is an advantage,
especially  to sufferers from haemorrhoids,  as it gives the latter  a
chance  to heal.  Thus, Nature,  if left alone does her work in her own way
if we only have the faith to trust her, even though at first  we may  not
understand  her mysteries.  Verily, Nature's ways are not our ways, and
She defies and  contradicts  every superstition  and orthodox tenet,
practice and belief!

AFTERWORD.
WHITHER  MEDICINE?

As I remarked  elsewhere,  he who makes a useful discovery  has a duty
to fulfil, it is to give that discovery  to the world. Even so, he may have a
further  duty‐and that is to warn the world  against what he has found to
be harmful. Both "big‐wigs"  and smaller  "wigs" in the  Medical
Profession  itself have done this at meetings of the fraternity  and  in
journals and  books  which  the public at large  do not read. Occasionally,
however,  a doctor or surgeon writes a book which  is not intended
exclusively  for the Profession.  One such book which contained  many
“home truths” is Man  the Unknown,  by Alexis  Carrel of U.S.A.
We not only live in an age when serums and  vaccines have become a
very lucrative fashion‐lucrative to their manufacturers  and  vendors‐but
we also live in an age of specialism  despite the warnings of many
physicians  themselves  about its dangers.  Wrote  Dr. Carrel: " Much
harm is caused by the extreme specialisation  of the physicians.  When a
specialist from the beginning  of his career confines himself  to a minute
part of the body, hu knowledge  of the rest is so rudimentary  that he is
incapable  of thoroughly  understanding  that part in which  he specialises.
" Again, Dr. K. T. Morris wrote: " The patient who goes to a specialist on
his or her own resposibility ...is jumping from the frying‐pan in to the
fire." (See Fifty Years a Surgeon.)  Dr. W. H. Hay of the "Hay  Diet  " fame
may  also be cited.  Relative to specialists,  he says: "Each sees the thing
he most  wishes to see in the patient, finds the thing he has been taught 131
 to ind, and unless superhuman  this  is wholly to be expected.  " (See  a
New  Era of Health.) Nor are warnings against specialism  confined to the
Western continents.  In "an article,  Dr. B. Bhattacharyya  of Baroda, India,
after maintaining  that specialists  as a class  had  becorulcc  a menace  to
public health, went on to say:"  To set a specialist  and  study him in
relation to the special  organ in which  he specialises
