We have  left this  octave  and  it is mankind  who  has cre-
ated these  conditions.  Individuals  must  of their  own  voli-
tion release  energy  thru  the human  structure;  which  makes
it possible  for Us to give  the Assistance  mankind  needs.  It
would  be impossible,  and  I say  so frankly,  for people  of
their  own  volition,  without  Our  Assistance  to protect  them-
selves  in America  today.
I think  you  do not comprehend  Beloved  Saint  Germain's
Reference  to what  He did  in Europe.  It should  have  con-
veyed  to you  the need  of Our  Assistance!  The  Law  of Life
is such,  We may  not intrude  Ourselves  upon  you;  much  as
We have  always  wished  to give  Assistance.  There  are
enough  in America  understanding,  the Presence—and  each
day the Understanding  is growing  clearer,  for the students
everywhere  to know  the necessity  of releasing  This  Energy.
Why  do you  suppose  We  urged,  and  urged,  the use of
these  Decrees ? Because  We  found  it the only  and  possibly
the best  manner  of getting  you  to release  the energy,  which
We require!  We  amplify  the energy  required,  to perform
This  Service  of Protection  for you  and  America.  I think  you
more  clearly  than  ever  before  understand  it.
You have  had  the proof  in your  own  experience  here,  of
what  it means  to step  up your  Decrees  and  your  singing
to a certain  tempo,  which  gives  a joyous  Release  of the en-
ergy.  Do you  realize  there  is a Balance  in every  activity  of
Life? Your  scales  for weighing  the  precious  metals  are a
very  good  example.  When  the Scale  of Life  stands  at Bal-
ance,  all the Forces  of your  Being  are working  Harmoni-255 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
ously  and  to the Greatest  Constructive  Purpose;  but if one
side is at a low  ebb,  then  you  are not working  to the best
advantage.  When  your  Decrees  and  songs  lag in tempo,  it
means  you  are not coming  up to the point,  where  you  are
releasing  this Energy  which  We require.  I am very  happy  to
make  this  so clear  to you.
I want  you  Blessed  Ones  in San  Francisco  and  Los  An-
geles  to know  Our  Feeling!  At the close  of this  Class  today,
We feel  that  not in four  hundred  years  have  San  Francisco
and Los Angeles  been  as safe  as they  are today.  You  may  all
who  are earnest  and  sincere,  justly  take  credit  for it. I want
you, every  one  who  is sincere  and  in earnest,  to feel  how
great  a part  you  are of This  Mighty  Activity.
It does  not make  one  particle  of difference  whether  you
are a frail  lady,  a child,  or a frail  gentleman;  you  can make
your  firm  determined  sincere  Call  to the Presence,  and  it
is the imperative  need.  It is the Intensity  and  Honesty  of
Purpose,  which  is needed  so greatly  today;  because  the at-
mosphere  of the world  is charged  with  deceit.  In the outer
activities  of mankind,  many  people  have  conceived  the idea,
if one were  a little  sharper  and  more  alert  in his employing
of shrewd  business  activities,  and  could  put something  over
on another,  it was  all right.  THAT  DAY  HAS  PASSED,
BELOVED  ONES,  FOREVER  FROM  THE  EARTH;
AND  NO  ONE  WILL  EVER  AGAIN  SUCCEED  IN
THE  FUTURE  WHO  PRACTICES  DECEIT.
Whether  it be in achievement  or your  business  activity
of the  outer  world,  the Balance  of the  Scales  of Life,  is DISCOURSE  XVIII  231
going  to be compelled  by the Great  Cosmic  Light!  You
will remember  this  for  some  years  to come.  You  can
scarcely  hope  for things  to be Miraculously  Transformed;
but you  can enter  into  Great  Harmony  and  Perfection,  re-
gardless  of many  of mankind  who  must  still  make  Appli-
cation!  YOU  CANNOT  HAVE  PERFECTION,  YOU
CANNOT  HAVE  FREEDOM,  WITHOUT  YOUR
OWN  EARNEST  SINCERE  APPLICATION.  THAT
IS YOUR  PART  OF  THE  BALANCE  TO  LIFE!
Life has  been  supplying  you  with  Energy  all thru  the
centuries  and  what  have  you  given  back  to Life ? The  only
Judge  of that  is your  Higher  Mental  Body.  It has  a Full
and Complete  Record,  as to the Constructive  or destructive
activities  which  you  have  served.
After  all which  has been  said,  I am quite  sure  now,  you
realize  not one  human  Being  can  be Free,  who  refuses  to
give obedience  to Our  Humble  Requests  and  maintain
Harmony  in the feeling!  Let  us draw  a crude  illustration.
In your  electrical  power  house  which  supplies  the current
of energy  for your  cities,  if the wheels  and  other  things  in
that mechanism  were  out of order,  how  long  do you  think
you would  have  your  electricity  or Light?  Your  feeling
world  represents  identically  die same  thing  to you;  because
it is your  Power-house!  If it is in turmoil  and  you  are dis-
turbed,  then  how  can  the Light  within  you  go forth  and
harmonize  and  accomplish  what  you  wish?
You do not know  what  I know,  but I shall  tell you  some-
thing  today;  and  if you  care  to believe  Me,  you  will  see in 232 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
contemplation,  how  True  It is. Do you  think  it is just your
physical  efforts  which  accomplish  things  in the  outer
world ? Beloved  Ones,  it is the Light,  the Energy  of your
Presence,  which  goes  forth  before  you  and  accomplishes
what  you  desire.  When  you  realize  Harmony  is the IM-
PERATIVE  thing  in your  feeling,  so this energy  may  flow
forth  and  go out in Its Full  Power,  Its Purity,  Its Perfection;
then  you  will  have  no difficulty  in making  yourself  success-
ful in your  outer  efforts,  in the outer  world.  Until  mankind
understands  that,  the people  will  go on in their  distress  and
limitations.
As students  today,  there  is no longer  the slightest  excuse
for you  not having  what  you  need  for your  happiness  and
comfort.  You  should  be able  to govern  the vibratory  action
about  you,  and  call  forth  the Power  of your  Presence,  to
draw  about  you  the effects  or things  your  Heart  craves.
You might  say:  "How  about  our  families  who  do not
agree  with  us"? That  is a very  important  point.  The  True
Understanding  of This  Presence  is the Greatest  Harmoniz-
ing Perfecting  Activity  in the Entire  Universe.  Now  why
have  so many  seeming  disagreements  occurred  in families ?
Because  the human  tried  to be the Doer.  Precious  Ones,
now  think  it over!  I urge  you  never  to argue  the question  of
This  Understanding  with  anyone—your

IMPORTANT – It’s Harmful to Your Body to Overeat!
Don’t eat more than you need or desire! Remember
that you have been without food for  7 to 10 days. By
this time, you have lost the strong craving for food.Because you eat, does not mean that you are going toimmediately feel a surge of energy. It takes the body
time to adjust from a detoxifying mode to eating again.
Remember – Don’t Worry About Evacuation
It may take the body a day or two to adjust to eating
again, so don’t be concerned if your bowels are sluggish.In many instances some people will have a bowelevacuation shortly after eating their first meal after afast. Elimination is different for each person, so wecannot set a standard when the bowels will move. I urgeyou to be patient with Mother Nature and don’t try toforce your bowels to move. Mother Nature has giventhe bowels their own sanitation and antiseptic system.This system will promote natural bowel movements. Youare now eating healthy foods that stimulate theperistaltic or wavelike motion of the bowels. When theydo begin evacuation, if you follow our instructions andalways eat healthy foods, you will establish healthyregular eliminations that will naturally flush the toxins
and waste matter from your body on a regular basis.
Behind every successful person is themselves. – American Proverb91The Ideal Elimination Program
In my own life, by living on a diet which is rich in
bulk, moisture, water and lubrication, I have established
the following good eliminati on habits. I have a bowel
movement shortly after arising. I encourage this by a few
waist twists and leg kicks ( pg. 118) to help give me good
elimination. I told you, I don’t eat breakfast because Ibelieve the No Heavy B reakfast Plan is health ier. Several
hours after arising I then eat delicious organic fresh fruits
or a dish of fresh sliced pineapple, banana, orange,
papaya, etc., or Bragg Pep Drink or dish of prunes or
sundried apricots soaked in pineapple juice. At noon I have
my first real meal of the day, usually Bragg Raw VegetableSalad page
231. I often add avocado to my salad – veggies
and avocados are excellent lubricant s in promoting
healthy elimination for  the gastrointestinal tract.
I make it a hard and fast rule to always eat my salad
first. I do this for several reasons. First I think we musteducate our
260 taste buds to accept only natural foods.
Therefore when you have raw foods, either a raw vegetable
salad or a fruit salad to start the meal, you educate your
taste buds to enjoy and want clean, live, healthy foods!
Most people start a meal with a broth or soup with
sandwiches or bread. This is wrong in my opinion! Tomake the taste buds keen, sharp and alive – having yourraw health salad or fresh fruits first starts the digestivejuices flowing for raw foods are rich in natural healthyenzymes. All this contributes to good nutrition. I urgeyou to always eat something raw at the beginning ofeach meal. You will find in time your taste buds willbegin to reject devitalized, unhealthy foods that you maybe tempted to eat. As you re-educate the taste buds toenjoy more fruits and salads, you will find that you canand should increase the daily amount of raw, live foodsyou eat to
60% to 70%  of your total intake – it’s the healthiest!
Healthy, healing dietary fibers are organic fresh vegetables, fruits, salads
and whole grains and their products. These health builders help normalizeyour blood pressure, cholesterol and also promotes healthy elimination.92The Bragg Healthy Lifestyle
Promotes Super Health & Longevity
Remember that raw foods are the live, vital foods.
They are as Mother Nature made them. They’re whole,natural, live foods – vibrating with enzymes and solar
energy! Most people want food that stimulates them –
the sugars, fats, salt, heavy, overcooked and refined foods
that have little food value. They want fast foods and
most of them have been stripped of their goodness.
The Bragg Healthy Lifestyle consists of eating a diet
of
60% to 70% fresh, live, organically grown foods; raw
vegetables, salads, fresh fruits and juices; sprouts, rawseeds and nuts; all-natural
100%  whole grained breads,
pastas, cereals and nutritious beans and legumes. These
are the no cholesterol, no fat, no salt, “live foods” thatproduce the body fuel that helps produce healthy, lively
people. Healthy “live foods” and fasting are the main
reasons people become revitalized and reborn into a freshnew life filled with youthfulness, health, vitality, joy andlongevity! There are millions of healthy Bragg followers
worldwide proving this lifestyle works miracles!
Vegetarianism Versus Meat Eating
Over the  long years that I have been a Nutritionist,
the controversy of “Vegetarianism versus Meat Eating”
has raged furiously. Both sides present the most scientificreasons for their side of the story. I am not going to try
to persuade you to be either a vegetarian or a meat eater.
There are hundreds of books written on both subjects.
Cabbage (raw) has amazing properties. It stimulates the immune system, kills
bacteria and viruses, heals ulcers, and according to Dr. James Balch in Prescription
for Cooking and Dietary Wellness, your chances of contracting colon cancer can bereduced by up to 60% by eating cabbage weekly. Dr. Saxon-Graham states that
those who never consumed cabbage were three times more likely to develop colon
cancer. A Japanese study shows that people who ate cabbage had the lowestfatality rate from any cancer. Therapeutic benefits have also been attributed to
cabbage in relation to scurvy, gout, rheumatism (arthritis), eye diseases, asthma,
pyorrhea, and gangrene. See our Bragg Salad Recipe (page
 231). Cooking destroys
the cabbages healing  properties. We love cabbage and also we make a variety of
sandwiches wrapped in cabbage leaves instead of bread. Try this – so delicious!!!Eat Plenty of Cabbage – The Miracle Cleanser and Healer93I Prefer the Healthier Vegetarian Diet
Over the years of following a program of fasting and
eating a diet containing an abundance of raw organic
fruit and vegetables, my body has become so keen that
it practically tells me what to eat at every meal. Afteryears on this healthy vegetarian diet, my body has lost
the desire for meat, fowl and fish. My diet is composed
of organic raw fruits and vegetables, cooked vegetables,beans, legumes, brown rice, etc. with raw nuts and seeds
and their butters, raw wheat germ and Brewer’s yeast.
This is what my body seems to thrive on. But
occasionally there were times when my body told me to
eat a piece of meat or a piece of fish, or to have some
natural cheese or a few fertile eggs. In other words, mybody developed an instinct for the selection of foods.
Sometimes I go 4 or
 5 years without tasting eggs, etc.,
then my body will telegraph that I need some. Listeningto my inner voice has helped me enormously.
Basically I have been a vegetarian by nature most of
my life. I was reared on a large farm in Virginia wherehundreds of hogs and cattle were slaughtered regularly,so killing has always been repulsive to me! I have never
been a hunter or a fisherman because I do not like to
take another life. I have made
 13 expeditions to distant
lands and I have found many robust, healthy people
living on a vegetarian diet. On the other hand, I have
found people in other cultures who also enjoyed higherhealth and yet included animal products in their diets.
I roamed the South Seas for over a year at one time and
in those far flung islands I found supermen and wonderwomen. They not only lived on an abundance of fresh
fruit and vegetables, but they included fish, fowl and
some meat in their diet. So you see I have tried to be asfair as I could about this question of Vegetarianism versus
Meat Eating. I feel that as we cleanse and purify our
bodies we develop a keen sense of what is healthiest
and best for us to eat. Keep a daily journal and see.
Nutrition directly affects growth, development, reproduction, well-being
and an individual’s physical and mental condition. Health depends uponnutrition more than on any other single factor. –  Dr. Wm. H. Sebrell, Jr.94Eliminating Meat is Safer and Healthier
Most uninformed nutritionists call meat the #1 source
of protein. Those proteins coming from the vegetable
kingdom are referred to as the #2 proteins. This is a sad
and terrible mistake. It should be the other way around!
In this day and age, almost all meat is laden with
herbicides, fungicides, pesticides and other chemicals
that are sprayed on or poured into the feed which theseanimals consume. They are also pumped full of
hormones, antibiotics, growth stimulators and all kinds
of drugs to fatten them up and keep them from dyingfrom the extremely unhealthy conditions most of them
live in! This is not to mention the admitted fact that
many of them are fed the dead, ground up carcasses ofother feed lot animals who, for a variety of reasons, didn’t
make it to the slaughter

Writing a book about love is a unique challenge, in both heart and mind,
and from the outset I realized that it would have to be born in an
atmosphere of love. Some other people understood this as well,  and it is to
them in particular that I owe deepest gratitude.
To Peter Guzzardi, whose sensi tivity and nurturing went far beyond the
duties of an editor—you opened the way and kept it open against all odds.
To Patty  Eddy and Tina Cons table, who stand behind the scenes at
Harmony Books and accomplish wonders.
To my agent Muriel Nellis, godmother to my whole career as a writer.
To my support staff at The Chopra Center for Well Being and Infinite

And, as ever, to my family, who walk the path to love with me, no matter
what turn it takes.

Basic protocol for everyone

I regularly receive messages from people with very serious health issues, wanting recommendations for how
to respond to those issues naturally because they d on't want to do the cut-burn-poison thing the docto rs want
to do.

Many of these issues are downright scary, and some I've never even heard of.

There's only one person who knows all the answers, and it ain't me!

But this I do know. Whatever healing that can happe n in a body must be enacted by that body. There is only
one cure for cancer or diabetes or arthritis or a c old or a pimple: It's the immune system. If your im mune
system stops, nothing else will cure you. I don't e ven like that word, "cure", which suggests a proble m is
gone for good. No health problem can be banished fr om your life, there is always a possibility of it r eturning,
especially if the conditions that allowed it in the  first place occur again.

So, we don't "cure" people, we show you ways to hel p your body heal itself as well as it can. Obviousl y, a
body's healing capacity is greater at 20 years old than 50 years old or 80 years old. All we can do is  try to
optimize the healing capacity of anyone's body by g iving the body what optimizes its immune system and
avoiding what interferes with its immune system.

Certain supplements are known to boost the immune s ystem in different ways for different health condit ions.
The fundamental immune system boosters in one's die t are whole, unpolluted foods (organic, unprocessed,
unpasteurized, unpoisoned, unradiated, non-GMO, etc.), fermented, sprouted and concentrated foods
(juicing, nutritional yeast, black strap molasses, wheat germ, etc.). Even these foods nowadays need e xtra
nutritional help, so we take the appropriate supple ments designed to address specific needs (iodine, M SM,
the appropriate calcium, miscel vitamins, Concentra ce trace minerals, etc.).

There are various therapies/treatments that can hel p in various ways: water & coffee enemas, use of a
nebulizer, colonics, chiropractors and various bioe lectrical healing devices can all aid the body in i ts self-
healing efforts.

I have articles that detail various immune system-b oosting substances/techniques (list below) that you  can
find in my library. Whatever health condition you h ave, however far advanced it may seem to be, there are
certain fundamentals that should be followed.

Colloidal silver (CS) is, in my opinion, the best a ll-around immune system booster I have seen in 30+ years
as a natural health practitioner. The only people w ho shouldn't use it are that small percentage of th e
population who are actually allergic to silver (1 i n every 350,000 people).

It is also my opinion that, starting small and grad ually increasing, the more serious the health issue, the more
CS should be ingested, sometimes being the only liq uid that is being drunk.

The addition of drops of food grade hydrogen peroxi de once or twice per day can increase the effective ness
of CS 500 - 1,000%.
 Please understand, silver does not cure anything, y our immune system does that. Silver is a major boos ter of
the immune system, and enhances the body's self-hea ling ability.

Start with that and pay attention to your diet/supp lementation and you will be doing all that you can do to
help your body heal itself.

Various articles:

Beating cancer on a shoestring budget
Nutrition in a nutshell
Basic EFT manual
Basic enema instructions
Coffee enema for liver-gallbladder detox
Coffee enema procedure and recipe
Digestion & regularity

These are only a few of the many that are available  to those looking for ways to respond to serious he alth
issues. Please feel free to search through my libra ry. <|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Metabolic Solutions Report

The diet thing

I've watched several videos by Chris Wark, who cham pions the Chris Beat Cancer diet.

This is a fellow who had serious cancer and achieve d full remission and improved health by a radical d iet
change. He now spends his time telling other folks how they can also beat cancer with a radical diet c hange.

There are, in fact, quite a few people with stories  like his. They all tend to have certain diet ideas  in common,
but it can be a bit confusing to find that their di ets aren't exactly the same, and indeed, sometimes they are
quite incompatible with each other.

Finding a common denominator between the differing diets seems hard. One diet will emphasize certain
foods that another diet will warn you away from.

But actually, there are certain common denominators, things they all have in common with each other. ( I am
not including any anti-cancer diet recommended by t he medical/pharmaceuticals, because of course, they
don't actually want anyone to beat cancer.)

The common denominators are these:

First, eat a wide variety of whole, unprocessed foo ds. As much as you can, eat organic foods, but eat as wide
a variety of high-quality foods as you can, and eat  lots of them. This includes mostly fruits and vegg ies (with
some whole grains) with some folks; and organic, gr ass-fed, free-range animal products (eggs, meats, d airy)
with other folks.

You will notice that each of these specific diet ch ampions have a collection of success stories, testi monies of
how the diet they ate brought about dramatic improv ements in health and victory over various health
problems like heart disease, diabetes, arthritis an d cancer.

Second, eat high-density nutrition foods (what I've  been calling 'Concentrated' foods).

This includes juicing, sprouting, smoothies and reg ular use of concentrated foods like nutritional yea st and
blackstrap molasses. I tend to include my favorite mineral supplement, Concentrace, in the concentrate d
foods list, even though it is a supplement, because  it is what is missing from modern foods.

I have attempted to give a more specific overview i n my article, "Basic dynamics of health and nutriti on".

One of Chris Wark's videos was about the normal mor ning smoothy he makes. It was almost entirely fruit,
with some greens.

A fruit smoothy affects me the same as a bottle of Coca Cola. Crash and burn.

Many times, someone who is experiencing a major hea lth issue (like cancer) also has very poor digestio n. In
that case, I would discourage eating hard-to-digest  foods (like nuts and nut butters, all meat, cheese ) until
their digestion can be improved.
 A weak point in Chris Wark's message (and this is t rue of almost every anti-cancer diet being champion ed) is
that he communicates that what worked for him will work for everyone, that this is the way EVERYONE
should eat. He assumes that what didn't work for hi m (such as dairy) won't work for anyone else, and h e
recommends avoiding it.

In my experience, a pretty fair percentage of the p opulation would not be helped by a high level of fr uit in
their diet. Another percentage would be poorly affe cted by starchy veggies and even grains (including me).

There is no one-diet-fits-all, because the human bo dy is too complex. Obviously, a frail, 90-year old senior
shouldn't eat like a 25-year old athlete, nor a sma ll child like a full-grown adult.

In the end, the reason why all these diets have a c ollection of success stories is because they are al l doing the
one primary dynamic: Dramatically increasing the am ount of nutrients to the body.

To do this, one must omit all the low-nutrition and  no-nutrition processed foods and eat LOTS of the h ighest
quality foods available that your body is able/read y to eat. What benefits one may not benefit another. You
must learn to listen to your body while attempting to give your body what it needs to heal itself.

So it goes back to what I've been saying all along:  If you give your body what it needs, it will usual ly
surprise you with how well it can heal itself.

Many times folks assure me they eat "good diets", o r "healthy diets". They say this because they don't  eat
junk food. They never go to a fast food place, they  mostly omit processed foods (the whites - white fl our,
rice, noodles, sugar), they don't drink soda pop or  rarely eat ice cream or much candy. They occasiona lly eat
cheese, or have a steak or some fish. They might ea t various nuts instead of sweets. Once in awhile th ey eat
some pizza, but rarely. They might eat chocolate fr


enervated state of the b ody brought on from
overindulgence —overstimulation.

   A driving desire for food three times a day means
enervation; trouble is only a little farther on. The wise will
get busy and correct appetites.

   Perverted appetites are built by overeating; eati ng rich
food until enjoyment is lost for staple or plain foods;
excessive use of stimulants —alcohol, tobacco, coffee, tea;
excessive use of butter, salt, pepper, and rich dressings,
eating without a real hunger (real hunger will take the
plainest foods wit h a relish); eating when sick or uncomfortable; eating at all hours, between meals; eating
until uncomfortable.

   Gossips are always slanderers, and slanderers are always
and forever potential liars. If they do not know that they are
broadcasting lies, they are criminally careless in not
endeavoring to find whether the tale they gossip is true or
not. Gossip enervates the gossiper.

   Gossips are always enervated, for they live in fear of
being discovered. Their secretions are always acid. They
are inc lined to develop pyorrhea and mucous -membrane
infections. They are slow to recover from catarrhal crises of
Toxemia.

   Gossips are empty -headed slaves to their habits of slander
and spite; they are malignant parasites that feed upon
carrion. They are th e lowest type of criminals; hell
monsters that kill with their breath. They often die of
cancer.

   Sycophancy. —Flatterers look like friends, as wolves like
dogs. (Byron.) He hurts me most who lavishly commends.
(Churchill.)

    A real sycophant, like all people who are not honest, lives
a life that enervates, and which nature condemns early.

   Dishonesty. —Dishonesty eventually hardens the arteries,
and cancer ends a miserable existence.

   Religiosity. —Morbidly pious,  yet practicing the foregoing
habits and ending in premature death.

   A saving religion, Christian, Jewish or Mohammedan, is
one free from mental and physical habits that
overstimulate, enervate and intoxicate.

   If Toxemic get rid of enervating habits. Cures —prayers,
drugs, surg ery—all honest or dishonest cures —will not
cure. Get rid of cause and stay rid of it, then health returns
and abides perpetually.

 Retrospection

   MORE might have been said, and no doubt better said,
about how we human beings vandalize our minds and
bodies; but enough has been told for open -minded people
to see that the only nemesis on our heels is our habits. O.
W. Holmes, in his “The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table,”
had this to say concerning habit:

   Habit is the approximation of the animal syst em
of the organic. It is a confession of failure in the
highest function of being, which involves a
perpetual self - determination, in full view of all
existing circumstances.

   Autonomy or self -government is met at the threshold of
life by all the conven tional superstitions, and educated into
a lot of habits, such as curing without removing cause.
This, combined with man’s inclination to hedonism (the
doctrine that pleasure is the only good), leads to a life of
failure, in spite of man’s potential desire to rise above the
forces that hold him down. “Toxemia Explained” will help
all who study it carefully to understand what disease is, and
how it is brought on. This knowledge will help the wise.
and self - controlled to sidestep disease, and the medical
octopus that unwittingly vandalizes the sick.     The profession is made up of an army of educated men;
and I believe the majority are gentlemen, and are
endeavoring to serve humanity. Education and ethics, when
established on fallacy and given the prestige of  numbers —
given an overwhelming majority —can make the fallacy
true, so far as the herd is concerned.

   All I ask of laymen or the profession is honestly to put
my philosophy to the acid test. Yes, prove, if possible, that
I am mistaken, and then give me what is coming to me!

   Man makes his own diseases. This book tells how he does
it. And he is the one who can bring back health. He and his
subconsciousness alone can cure. Doctors cannot cure.
Only very rarely is surgical vandalism a dernier resort,
unless bad treatment forces unnecessary emergencies.

The body is strong or weak, as the case
may be, depending entirely on whether
the nerve -energy is strong or weak.
And it should be remembered that the
functions of the body are carried on
well or badly ac cording to the amount
of energy generated.  A Few Suggestions

   THE following suggestions may be of assistance to those
who wish to maintain their present state of good health, or
help them to bring themselves from their present state of
impaired health  to that of good health. Those who are badly
handicapped, and who wish more detailed information, will
have to have the advice fitted to their particular cases
through individual instructions.

   The first thing on awaking in the morning, the Tilden
system of tensing exercises should be practiced for from
fifteen to thirty minutes. (See exercises at the end of this
chapter.) Following the exercise, go to the bathroom and,
while standing in warm water, take a quick, warm sponge -
bath. Then follow this with plenty of dry -towel or friction -
mitten rubbing. At night, before retiring, give the body a
thorough friction rubbing again. If not convenient to take
the warm sponge -bath in the morning, use the dry rub in the
morning and the warm sponge -bath at night befo re retiring.

   Eat three meals a day and no more; no eating nor drinking
between meals. Use the following rules to guide you in
“when to eat, when not to eat, and how to eat”:
    Rule No. 1. —Never eat unless you have been absolutely
comfortable in min d and body from the previous mealtime.

   Rule No. 2. —Thoroughly masticate and insalivate every
mouthful of starchy food, and give the rest of your food
plenty of attention.

   Rule No. 3. —Never eat without a keen relish.

   If the bowels do not move  during the day, before retiring
at night use a small enema —a pint of warm water. Put it
into the bowels and allow it to remain for five to ten
minutes; then solicit a movement. Proper mastication, right
combinations of food, and plenty of tensing exercise  to the
abdomen will bring about proper bowel action.
   As to what to eat —For those in ordinarily good health the
following rules will serve as a guide:
Fruit Breakfast
Starch Lunch
Regulation Dinner

or

 Starch Breakfast
Fruit Lunch
Regulation Di nner
   The regulation dinner may be taken at noon in place of
the lunch, if it is more convenient.

   Fruit Breakfast. —Any kind of fresh fruit or berries
followed with either milk, fifty -fifty (half warm milk and
half hot water), or teakettle tea (hot w ater with two or three
tablespoons of cream to the cup).

   Starch Breakfast. —Toast, Shredded Wheat, Triscuit, Rye
Crisp, well -baked muffins, corn bread or biscuit, griddle -
cakes, waffles, cooked cereal (any one of foregoing),
followed with fresh or cook ed fruit, without sugar. The dry
starches should be eaten with a little butter, and not soaked
up with milk or cream. This insures thorough mastication.
The cereals should be taken with a little cream and salt —no
milk or sugar. The griddle -cakes and waffle s may be
accompanied with honey and butter, followed with teakettle
tea.

   If desired, the starch breakfast may be followed with
fresh fruit instead of a beverage.
    Starch Lunch. —The same as the starch breakfast.
Occasionally a piece of plain cake a nd ice -cream.

   Fruit Lunch. —The same as the fruit breakfast.
Occasionally a piece of fruit pie and a piece of cheese, or
some form of dessert, followed with fresh fruit.

   Regulation Dinner. —No. 1: Meat, two cooked non -
starchy vegetables, and a com bination salad.

   No. 2: Starch, two cooked non -starchy vegetables, and a
combination salad.

   Meat: Any kind of fresh meat, cheese, nuts, eggs, bacon,
fish, or fowl.

   Starch: Potatoes (sweet or Irish), macaroni, rice, Hubbard
squash, dry beans a nd peas

cancer reaches the detectable stage. Unfortunately, health policy often lags scientific discoveries by years to decades. An example from the mid-19
th century was the discovery by Ignaz Semmelweis
that doctors carried germs from autopsies to women giving birth and infected them, resulting in puerperal sepsis.
125 A more recent
example is the announcement by Barry Marshall and Robin Warren that Helicobacter pylori caused stomach ulcers. Although Marshall
infected himself with H. pylori in 1981 and developed an ulcer,
126 he
concluded by 1995 that Koch’s postulates were not well satisfied.127
However, in 2005, Marshall and Warren were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine. It is hoped that the acceptance of the beneficial role of vitamin D in reducing the risk of cancer and many other diseases will not have to wait much longer. It is encouraging that the National Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Medicine (http://www.iom.edu) is embarking on a two year study of vitamin D dietary requirements and is expected to issue a report in October 2010.

 now consider this practice
messy and not very profitable compared to manipulations. So it is not easy to find a skilled and willing colonic technician.
    Anyone who pl ans to give themselves therapeutic enemas while fasting would be well advised to first seek out a colonic
therapist and receive two or three colonics delivered one day apart while eating lightly and then immediately begin the fast.  Three
colonics given on three successive days of a light, raw food diet are sufficient to empty all recently eaten food even from a very
constipated, distended and bloated colon, while acquainting a person with their own bowel. Having an empty colon is actually a
pleasant and to most people a thoroughly novel experience. A few well -delivered colonics can quickly accustom a person to the
sensations accompanying the enema and demonstrate the effect to be achieved by oneself with an enema bag, something not
quickly discoverable any o ther way.

How To Give Yourself An Enema
    Enemas have been medically out of favor for a long time. Most people have never had one. So here are simple directions to sel f-
administer an effective enema series.
    The enema bag you select is important. It must hold at least two quarts and be rapidly refillable. The best American -made brand
is made of rubber with about five feet of rubber hose ending in one of two different white hard plastic insertion tips. The b ag is
designed for either enemas or vaginal d ouches. It hangs from a detachable plastic "S" hook. When filled to the brim it holds
exactly one -half gallon. The maker of this bag offers another model that costs about a dollar more and also functions as a hot water
bottle. A good comforter it may make,  but the dual purpose construction makes the bag very awkward to rapidly refill. I
recommend the inexpensive model.
    The plastic insertion tips vary somewhat. The straight tubular tip is intended for enemas; the flared vaginal douche tip can be
useful for enemas too, in that it somewhat restrains unintentional expulsion of the nozzle while filling the colon. However,  its four
small holes do not allow a very rapid rate of flow.
    To give yourself an enema, completely fill the bag with tepid water that does not exceed body temperature. The rectum is
surprisingly sensitive to heat and you will flinch at temperatures o nly a degree or two higher than 98 Fahrenheit. Cooler water is
no problem; some find the cold stimulating and invigorating. Fasters having difficulty staying warm should be wary of cold wa ter
enemas. These can drop core body temperature below the point of comfort.
    Make sure the flow clamp on the tube is tightly shut and located a few inches up the tube from the nozzle. Hang the filled ba g
from a clothes or towel hook, shower nozzle, curtain rod, or other convenient spot about four to five feet above th e bathroom floor
or tub bottom. The higher the bag the greater the water pressure and speed of filling. But too much pressure can also be
uncomfortable. You may have to experiment a bit with this.
    Various body positions are possible for filling the col on. None is correct or necessarily more effective than another. Experiment
and find the one you prefer. Some fill their colon kneeling and bending forward in the bathtub or shower because there will l ikely
be small dribbles of water leaking from around the  nozzle. Usually these leaks do not contain fecal matter. Others prefer to use the
bathroom floor. For the bony, a little padding in the form of a folded towel under knees and elbows may make the process more
comfortable. You may kneel and bend over while placing your elbows or hands on the floor, reach behind yourself and insert the
nozzle. You may also lie on your back or on your side. Some think the left side is preferable because the colon attaches to t he
rectum on the left side of the body, ascends up the left side of the abdomen to a line almost as high as the solar plexus, then
transverses the body to the right side where it descends again on the right almost to the groin. The small intestine attaches  to the
colon near its lower -right extremity. In fa ct these are the correct names given for the parts of the colon: Ascending, Descending
and Transverse Colon along with the Sigmoid Colon or Rectum at the exit end.
    As you become more expert at filling your colon with water you will begin to become awa re of its location by the weight,
pressure and sometimes temperature of the water you're injecting. You will come to know how much of the colon has been filled
by feel. You will also become aware of peristalsis as the water is evacuated vigorously and disc over that sensations from a colon
hard at work, though a bit uncomfortable, are not necessarily pain.
    Insertion of the nozzle is sometimes eased with a little lubricant. A bit of soap or KY jelly is commonly used. If the nozzle  can
be inserted without lubricant it will have less tendency to slip out. However, do not tear or damage the anus by avoiding necessary
lubrication. After insertion, grip the clamp with one hand and open it. The flow rate can be controlled with this clamp. Keep ing a
hand on the c lamp also prevents the nozzle from being expelled.
    Water will begin flowing into the colon. Your goal is to empty the entire bag into the colon before sensations of pressure or
urgency to evacuate the water force you to remove the nozzle and head for t he toilet. Relaxation of mind and body helps achieve
this. You are very unlikely to achieve a half -gallon fill up on the first attempt. If painful pressure is experienced try closing the
clamp for a moment to allow the water to begin working its way around  the obstacle. Or, next time try hanging the bag lower,
reducing its height above the body and thus lowering the water pressure. Or, try opening the clamp only partially. Or, try pa nting
hard, so as to make the abdomen move rapidly in and out, sort of shak ing the colon. This last technique is particularly good to get
the water past a blockage of intestinal gas.
    It is especially important for Americans, whose culture does not teach one to be tolerant of discomfort, to keep in mind that  pain
is the body's  warning that actual damage is being done to tissues. Enemas can do no damage and pose no risk except to that rare
individual with weak spots in the colon's wall from cancers. When an enema is momentarily perceived unpleasantly, the correct
name for the ex perience is a sensation, not pain. You may have to work at increasing your tolerance for unpleasant sensations or it
will take you a long time to achieve the goal of totally filling the colon with water. Be brave! And relax. A wise philosophe r once
said th at it is a rough Universe in which only the tigers survive --and sometimes they have a hard time.
    Eventually it will be time to remove the nozzle and evacuate the water. Either a blockage (usually fecal matter, an air bubbl e, or
a tight ‘U' turn in the colon, usually at either the splenetic, or hepatic flexures located right below the rib cage) will prevent further
inflow (undesirable) or else the bag will completely empty (good!) or the sensation of bursting will no longer be tolerable. Go sit
on the to ilet and wait until all the water has passed. Then refill the bag and repeat the process. Each time you fill the colon it wil l
allow more water to enter more easily with less unpleasantness. Fasters and cleansers should make at least three attempts at a
complete fill -up each time they do an enema session.
    Water and juice fasters will find that after the first few enemas, it will become very easy to inject the entire half -gallon of water.
That is because there is little or no chime entering the colon. A fter a few days the entire colon will seem (this is incorrect) to be
empty except when it is filled with water. This is the point to learn an advanced self -administered enema technique. An average
colon empty of new food will usually hold about one gallon of water. That is average. A small colon might only hold 3/4 gallon, a
large one might accept a gallon and a half, or even more. You'll need to learn to simultaneously refill the bag while injecti ng water,
so as to achieve a complete irrigation of the whol e colon. There are several possible methods. You might try placing a pitcher or
half-gallon mason jar of tepid water next to the bag and after the bag has emptied the first time, stand up while holding the tube  in
the anus, refill the bag and then lie down  again and continue filling. You might have an assistant do this for you. You might try
hanging the bag from the shower head and direct a slow, continuous dribble of lukewarm water from the shower into the bag whi le
you kneel or lie relaxed in the tub. Thi s way the bag will never empty and you stop filling only when you feel fullness and pressure
all the way back to the beginning of the ascending colon. Of course, hanging from a slowly running shower head the bag will
probably overflow and you will get spla shed and so will the bathroom floor when your wet body moves rapidly from the tub to the
toilet. I've imagined making


 of being.
Now awareness of being outshines the drama of experience.
     Awareness of being is known in each of us as the sense of ‘being myself’
or the knowledge ‘I am’ before it is coloured or qualified by experience.
Therein lies the peace of our true nature. When our self is divested of all the
limitations it acquires from experience, that for which we long above all else
shines by itself.
     In the Christian tradition, the same understanding is illustrated in the
parable of the Prodigal Son. In this story, the youngest son of the king is dis -
satisfied with life at home and embarks on a great adventure in the world,
seeking fulfilment. In spite of his numerous experiences, nothing fully sat -
isfies him and he ends up in despair, reduced to looking after pigs and eating
their food, until at last he ‘comes to his senses’ and remembers the abundance
of his home.
     This is symbolic of one who has exhausted the search for fulfilment in
objective experience and recognises, or at least intuits, that they are looking
for happiness in the wrong place and must return ‘home’. That is, they
10the search for happiness
remember the peace and happiness that is the nature of their being and re -
solve to return there.
     This remembrance is not the memory of something that we once
possessed and have now lost, but the recognition of something that lies
deep within us but that, until now, has been veiled and was thus inac -
cessible.

Some of us have to go to the brink of despair before recognising that we are
seeking peace and happiness in the wrong place. For others, a relatively mild
dose of failure, loss or sorrow is enough to prompt the intuition that objective
experience can never be a source of lasting peace and happiness, and to initi -
ate an investigation into the nature of our self.
     Either way, there comes a point in many of our lives when we under -
stand, or at least intuit, that the peace and happiness for which we long can
never be found in an object, substance, activity, circumstance or relation -
ship. This understanding does not imply that we lose interest in the world
or that we no longer engage with objects, activities and relationships, but
simply that we no longer do so for the purpose of finding peace, happiness
and love in them.
     No one would be reading this book if the search for happiness in objec -
tive experience had succeeded. In fact, one who is reading this book is almost
certainly doing so precisely because this search has failed sufficiently often
that they are at least beginning to suspect that they may be looking in the
wrong place.
     At some point a crisis is precipitated in our life in which we realise that
we have tried everything – the conventional objects that are on offer in the
world, and the less conventional states of mind that are available in the
religious and spiritual traditions – and seen that nothing has ever, or could
ever, give us the lasting happiness we seek.
    As a result of this we may have the courage and the clarity to face
a simple, unavoidable fact: nothing can make us happy! Likewise, we under -
stand for the same reason that nothing can make us unhappy, unless and
until we give it the power to, in which case it will do so.
     T o seek peace and happiness in objective experience is destined to fail.
It is a recipe for disappointment and, in time, despair.

11you are the happiness you seek
the original pandemic

At the time of writing, many people are concerned that they may be infected
with a virus that will cause sickness and possibly death to themselves or their
loved ones. I do not mean to disparage such concern, or the attempts that
individuals, communities and nations are taking to minimise the spread of
the virus. I only want to point out the attention we give to this virus whilst
ignoring another malady that has infected the vast majority of people with -
out their realising it.
     This malady is the belief that peace and happiness is dependent upon ex -
ternal circumstances. We have allowed a single belief to steal our innate hap -
piness, to rob us of the one thing we love above all else. And yet, so
ubiquitous is this condition that we do not even realise it as such; we consider
it the natural state.
     This syndrome has a simple symptom: suffering! Our suffering, whether
it be an intense emotion of hatred, anger or jealousy that erupts temporarily
in response to a particular circumstance, or simply a mild but chronic feeling
that something is missing, is the litmus test that indicates we have overlooked
our essential nature or being and that, as a result, its innate peace and hap -
piness has been obscured.
     Just as physical pain is a signal from the intrinsic intelligence of the body
letting us know that the body requires attention, so suffering is a message
from the happiness that lies in the depths of our being: ‘You are looking for
me in the wrong place! I am not caused by anything outside of you. I am
the nature of your being; there is no other place to find me. T urn towards
me and I will take you into myself.’
     As the Sufi mystic Bayazid Bastami said, ‘For thirty years I sought God.
But when I looked carefully I found that in reality God was the seeker
and I the sought.’  * Whenever we are seeking happiness, it is in fact our
innate happiness that is seeking us. The happiness we seek is the happiness
we are.
     The great understanding that lies at the heart of all the main religious
and spiritual traditions consists of two essential insights: happiness is the
very nature of our self, and we share our being with everyone and everything.
12* As quoted in James Fadiman and Robert Frager, Essential Sufism  (HarperCollins, 1997 ). the search for happiness
     The second insight will be touched upon towards the end of this book.
As regards the first, in order to liberate this happiness from its hiding place
in the depths of our being and bring it out into our lived and felt experience,
it is necessary to go to one’s essential being or self and recognise its nature.
     This is why self-knowledge stands as the foundation of all the major
religious and spiritual traditions. It is the great understanding that gives us
access to the peace and happiness that is our very nature.
13 chapter two
Know Thyself
Every living being longs always to be happy, untainted
by sorrow; and everyone has the greatest love for their self,
which is solely due to the fact that happiness is their real
nature. Hence, in order to realise that inherent and
untainted happiness, which indeed one daily experiences
when the mind is subdued in deep sleep, it is essential
that one should know oneself.
ramana maharshi

In the Christian tradition it is said, ‘The kingdom of heaven is within you’.
What is the kingdom of heaven if not a realm of eternal happiness? The es -
sential message of Christianity is that this realm of eternal happiness lies
within us; it is the nature of our being.
     In the Vedantic tradition of India we find the same understanding con -
densed into three Sanskrit words, sat chit ananda. Sat refers to being, chit to
knowing, consciousness or awareness, and ananda  to peace or happiness.
Thus, sat chit ananda  means simply that to know the nature of one’s being
is happiness itself.
     In Buddhism it is said that the very nature of one’s mind is inherently free
from any imperfection. Cautious not to objectify happiness as a state of mind,
the Buddhist teaching refers to it simply as the end of suffering. Thus, all that
is required to access that happiness is to know the nature of one’s mind.
     Indeed, if we were to distil the essential understanding contained in all
the great religious, spiritual and philosophical traditions into a single phrase,
it would read something like this: ‘Happiness is your nature’ or ‘You are hap -
piness itself’.
     It follows that in order to access the peace and happiness for which all
people long above all else, all that is necessary is to understand the nature of
one’s self. For this reason, the words Know Thyself  were carved onto the  you are the happiness you seek
entrance to the temple of Apollo in Delphi, thus standing at the very origin
of Western civilisation.
    We all seek happiness, but most of us seek it in objective experience.
In the approach that is being suggested in this book, we seek peace and hap -
piness at its source, namely, in our self or our being. For this reason it is some -
times referred to as the direct path to peace and happiness.

a softening of attention

What does it mean to know oneself? In the early 1980s, I went with my
brother Andrew to a series of Alfred Brendel’s recitals of Beethoven’s piano
sonatas in London. During these recitals my attention was in general fully
absorbed in the music, but from time to time I noticed a softening of its focus.
     On one occasion, my attention relaxed sufficiently that I became aware
not only of the music but of the fact that I was listening to the music.
In other words,  I became

Since water is the most important single element for
supporting
life
, second
only to oxygen, should it not be something that
you know
 something
about? We can live without food for 40 days,
but will
 die if we go without
water for, at most, 6 days. Water
serves three
 major purposes in our
bodies:

1.

It controls body temperature.
2.

It is the solvent for the foods we eat, carrying the nutrients to
every cell of our body.
3.

Water replaces bodily fluids such as blood plasma, lymph
,
digestive
 juices, bile, etc., and washes and bathes every cell
,
flushing
 and carrying away waste materials and toxic poisons.

If water is so vital to our health and existence, shouldn
’
t we
drink the
healthiest water possible? What would that be, you ask?
The answer
 is:
Distilled water.  Distilled water is true H
2
0, one part hydrogen, two parts
oxygen
, and

nothing else.
Rainwater would be pure distilled water if
itwere
 not for air pollution. The same goes for any water source
on our
planet, because it has come into contact with the earth,
and our
 earth is
polluted. Consequently, these pollutants are
picked up
 by H
2
0 and the
H
2
O becomes a formula of “H
2
0 + whatever
it picks
 up.”

Impure water is usually distilled by boiling it and capturing the steam
in the
process. The detractors of drinking distilled water most often use the
argument that it doesn
’
t contain any minerals. But they forget about one
important fact: that the minerals our bodies need are supposed to be
ingested as part of our food, not water.

The minerals that are found in water are inorganic and cannot be
assimilated or chelated by the body. The minerals our bodies need are
organic, the kind found in fruits and vegetables. Minerals get absorbed into
the cells of the food directly from the soil.  Water is not our source for
minerals, food is.  Because water is used to replace our bodily fluids and
clean our bodies, it makes sense to use the cleanest water possible.

Water is to our bodies as gas and oil are to our car. If the engine doesn
’
t
receive enough oil it begins to overheat and the various parts begin to
wear down. As a consequence, if any one part on an engine fails, the
whole engine is affected.

Water regulates body temperature by causing us to sweat; as the sweat
evaporates heat is pulled from our skin and water moistens our tissues
such as those in the mouth, eyes, nose and throat. Water protects the
body
’
s organs and tissues, lubricates joints, prevents constipation, carries
nutrients and oxygen to the cells, and carries away waste for elimination.
An adequate supply of water lessens the burden on the kidneys and liver
by flushing out waste products. Water helps dissolve minerals and other
nutrients to make them accessible to the body and aids in the elasticity of
muscles.

If water
is that critical for the health of every bodily cell,
how
important
 would it be
with regard to the water
’
s quality? Would
it make
 sense to attempt to wash
your dishes in a sink of
dirty water
? Of course not, and neither does it
make sense to
drink dirty
 water and expect it to clean your cellular
system. I
’
ll
cover the
 relationship more thoroughly later on.
So why drink distilled?

Distilled water is the only water that can be
called Water (
H
2
O) – a
molecule of 2 parts Hydrogen and 1 part Oxygen, period. Plus
nothing
more
! All other “water” is actually H
2
O plus something.  That “something”
could be whatever the water came into
contact with
 and was able to
dissolve, absorb and retain. In nature, water is heated by the sun causing it to turn to
its gaseous
 form,
evaporating, rising into the upper atmosphere
, cooling
 and condensing into
tiny droplets and gathering to
form clouds
. As the droplets cool further, the
molecules
clump together
, becoming heavy, then fall back to earth as
distilled water
 (this process is called the hydrological cycle). Unfortunately
,
our
 atmosphere is polluted by ozone, particulate matter,
sulfur dioxide
,
nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide. Read more:  National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS).
Unfortunately, by the time this pure distilled water reaches
the
earth
, it is
H
2
0 + volatile organic compounds (VOCs) +NO
x
 + CO
+ numerous
carcinogenic chemicals. But it doesn’t stop there.
After the
 mildly polluted
water reaches ear
th it
 begins on a journey
of absorbing
 and dissolving
everything it contacts on the surface
of the
 ground prior to soaking into the
soil or running off into
storm drains
. At this stage, the once pristine water
cleans the oil, dust
, dirt
 and toxic residue off the streets, highways and
parking lots
, including
 fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, herbicides from
yards
, gardens
 and farmlands and the list goes on.

There is not one stream, river
,
 lake or underground aquifer that is
pollution-free.

Guess where the food and beverage processing industry,
cities and
municipalities get their water? You guessed it, those
same rivers
, lakes
and ground water.

1/6 ounce of distilled water and shake40 I 50 times.
Then one drop of mix & add to 1/6 oz. of 86 proof vodka as a preservative.
Place a few drops under the tongue hourly until there is an improvement or
exacerbation of symptoms. As improvement progresses, lengthen the
interval between treatments.
After 3 days, suspend treatment to avoid pushing the immune system.
Treatment is resumed if progress remains static or relapse occurs.
2}. Use fresh urine drops direct.
For some cases, sub*lingual drops work well.
(Should always use fresh urine immediately upon collection.
You should not boil or dilute the urine in any way for internal use.
For external use you may boil off 75% of liquid leaving 25%
Concentrated for massaging only.
Start by taking 1-5 drops of morning urine on the first day.
On the second day, take 5-10 drops in the morning.
On the third day, take 10-15 drops in the morning,
and the same amounts in the evening before you go to bed.

gradually increase the amount as needed for obtaining results for your
condition. Build up to being capable to drink direct from glass after
expelling.
Build up to being capable to drink direct from glass after expelling.
You will learn to adjust the amount you need by observing your reactions.
You may find that you'll work up to drinking an ounce or two at a time.
Later after a while you will be a full time practitioner and consume as
natural as your everyday consumption of water.
You will find that once you become a practitioner, every drop of liquid or
every once of food consumed will be a different taste within minutes.
It is my belief that your intake of foods and liquids will change to the better
for your health quickly.
Dr. David G. Williams, Alternative Newsletter, August, 1994:
"Several months ago I watched the movie Alive.
It's the true story of a South American soccer team whose airplane
crashed in snow-capped mountains in the dead of winter. The team
was stranded for a couple months and survived only by eating the
flesh of those who had died either during the crash or later from
injuries. A portion of the movie focused on two individuals whose
initial wounds progressed into serious infections.
Knowing no way to treat these two, the survivors could only attempt
to comfort them. Eventually the infection led to death. Watching the
intense suffering of these people made me wonder if there was more
that could have been done to save them. I now feel it's very possible
that these two people, and thousands of others around the world
would still be alive if they had been aware of the therapeutic effects
of urine.
With urine therapy, you get all the benefits of urea plus the additional
antibodies, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, hormones and more."
32 Dr. William Hitt, Clinica Hitt, Mexico
January, 1995
"Experience has shown that intramuscular injections of urine are the best
methods for handling a myriad of immunological illnesses including psoriasis,
basal call carcinoma, asthma and many other disorders. "
Reuter Report
August 14, 1990
"Four Sri Lankan commandos who drifted in a boat more than 1,000 miles to
Thailand after they had been ambushed and given up for dead were given a
rapturous welcome when they returned home. 'They managed to survive on the
boat by catching turtles and drinking urine,'a military officer said.
Kyodo News Service, Tokyo
July 30, 1990
"A male cook was pulled out of the rubble of the Hyatt Hotel early Monday
morning, 14 days after a powerful earthquake devastated the northern
Philippines, officials said. Dry, with only minor bruises on his body, he told
reporters he survived by drinking his own urine. "
At a time when new viruses and bacteria are outwitting even the best efforts
of space-age medicine, and increasingly frequent natural disasters put basic
necessities out of reach, the facts about the one medical and survival tool that
the FDA can't regulate and that's always there when you need it most, may
well become the greatest survival lesson any of us will ever learn.
Soeda, University of Tokyo, 1968).
These remarkable findings were published in medical journals -
but did you ever hear about them?
What about the immunologist who, after extensive clinical and laboratory
research stated: "It was rapidly appreciated that undiluted urine
administered orally was therapeutically effective for Immune Therapy and
was initiated when it became obvious that an allergic condition had become
uncontrollable." (Dr. C.W. Wilson, 1983, Law Hospital, Scotland). Or the
Harvard medical researchers who discovered that active "antibodies to
cholera, typhoid, diphtheria, pneumonia, polio, leptospira and salmonella
33 have been found in the unconcentrated urine of infected individuals."
(Lerner, Remington & Finland, Harvard Medical School, 1962). What abut
the Scandinavian researcher who, in 1951, conclusively proved that human
urine can completely destroy tuberculosis? It's a deadly disease, and is now
resistant to antibiotics. Isn't it time someone told us that our own urine is
medically proven to be anti-tubercule?
Then there's the research into wounds and burns using urea (the primary
solid component of urine). As only one research study among many reported:
"In America, urea has been used for the treatment of various infected
wounds and it has been found to be extremely efficient... even the deepest
wound can be treated effectively.... Urea treatment has been successful where
other treatments have failed. For external staph infections we found urea
preferable to any other dressing..• there are no contra-indications to its use."
(Dr. L. Muldavis, 1938, Royal Free Hospital, London).
ClcarittS Vp tl1c Misco11ceptiotts
If you asked a person on the street what uric acid is,
he or she would invariably answer that it's a toxic body waste.
No so, say medical researchers at the University of California at
Berkeley who in 1982 reported they had discovered that
"uric acid destroys body-damaging, cancer-causing free radicals and
is considered to be one of the physiological factors that enable
human beings to live so much longer than other mammals."
But what about urea? Urea is in urine and isn't that the toxic stuff
that causes uremic poisoning? Actually, medical researchers
discovered many decades ago that urea, far from being a toxic body
waste, is an incredibly versatile, far-reaching and effective medicinal
agent. In numerous medical studies, it was shown that urea is one of
the most potent non-toxic virucidal agents ever discovered.
In one particular study, the rabies and polio virus [sic] were killed so
quickly and efficiently by concentrated urea, that even the laconic
researchers themselves were surprised: "Urea is such a relatively
inactive substance and certainly not a protoplasmic poison such as
are most virucidal agents, that it is in a way surprising that rabies
and poliomyelitis are killed so easily by urea solutions"
(McKay & Schroeder, Society of Experimental Biology, 1936).
In reality, Urea is an FDA-approved medicinal agent that doctors and
researchers utilize in an amazing variety of therapeutic modalities.
Because of its remarkable and comprehensive anti-neoplastic
(anti-tumor) properties, it's presently being used in anti-cancer drugs
and is extensively studied for use in cancer treatments.
34 Urine Therapy Before Birth The urea compound drug, gficazide, is used successfully
by the medical establishment in treating both insulin-dependent and
non-insulin-dependent diabetics.
As a natural diuretic, urea is unparalleled, and is a proven and accepted
treatment in cases of edema or swelling such as excess cerebral and spinal
pressure, glaucoma, epilepsy, meningitis, even premenstrual edema and
many other disorders in which excess fluid is a problem.
As one American neurosurgeon reported regarding a patient who nearly
died form complications following brain surgery:
"Urea was administered intravenously as an emergency measure.
Within 20 minutes from the start of injection, her blood pressure had
returned to normal....from this time on her recovery was uneventful.
In this case, urea was definitely life-saving, because prior to its
. administration, the patient's survival was unlikely. In many similar
instances urea was found to be life-saving"
{Dr. M. Javid, University of Wisconsin}

1. Re-absorption and re-use of nutrients.
This hypothesis is based on the idea that urine can cure illnesses
because it contains minerals, vitamins and other nutrients that are
essential for one's health. Actually, we obtain these substances in
sufficient quantities from the food we eat, assuming that we follow a
healthy, well-balanced diet. By drinking or massaging with urine


treatments"  from doctors who may  not believe in those treatments
themselves.  As for the poorer classes, if they are not given a bottle of
medicine by their physician,  they  consider they  are not getting their
money's worth.  With regard to operations,  it cannot be denied that
despite their unpleasantness  and  attendant  afterpains,  many persons
actually enjoy  them because they  afford  an opportunity  for self‐
dramatisation.  Nevertheless,  I contend  that the desire  to be fussed over
and  coddled  and  commiserated  is in itself a sign of morbidity,  and
hence denotes an absence of true health.  I will even go so far as to say
that most of the troubles in the world  are either directly or indirectly
due to the same cause. Nor will I exclude wars ‐extravagant  though it
may  sound. Those men who foment or are directly responsible  for wars
are not normal and  healthy human  beings. Julius Caesar was an
epileptic, Napoleon  died  of cancer of the stomach, and Hitler presents  a 137
 neurosthenic  of the most  pronounced  type. Goebbels  with his club foot,
may  be regarded as a degenerate,  and  the obese Goring at one time
was a drug addict. Mussolini  was another  diseased  type, and suffered
from some chronic internal trouble for which  the doctors  dared not
operate. As for the late Kaiser Wilhelm, he was also atnermal and  was
born  with a physical  deformity.  It is only very advanced  souls who can
exhibit  mental balance in spite of physical  disabilities;  and  such souls
are comparatively  few and far between.
But  my principal contention  is that when human beings register a
hundred per cent true health, or even a litlle less, they  feel at peace
with all the world, and  have no wish to slaughter  or persecute  their
fellows or exalt themselves  above  others.  For health not only means an
inner' happiness,  but consequently  a feeling of contentment  with one's
lot, and  an absence of fantastic ambitions  such as those from which
self‐appointed  leaders have suffered‐ at what cost  to humanity!  That
one hundred per cent health is attainable  I have every  reason to believe.
But it is not what people can do but what they  will do towards this
desideratum  which  is the crux of the matter. Before  theca can be well‐
being for all there will need to be a vast  reformation  in prevailing
practices,  and  in the methods  of instructing  the masses how to be well
and  keep well.  As to the reformers  themselves,  they  will be regarded
merely  as cranks  for all their pains.  Yet never let us forget that the
"crank" of one generation  often becomes the wise man  of a later
generation.  Even old  wives' remedies  come into their own when
scientists find some scientific method of explaining  them, just as the
scientists have found some method of explaining  the necessity of eating
a certain amount  of vital  foods  by calling the vital  elements  vitamins. 138
 That I shall  be labelled  a crank is of course fully to be expected,  and  if
the Medical Profession  condescends  to pay any attention  to this
exposition  of urine‐therapy at all, it will probably be to bring all kinds of
purely theoretical  arguments  against it. But will a single one of its critics
be able to substantiate  his theoretical  condemnations  by saying
truthfully  that he has tried  the method over a long period of years, if at
all, and  has found  it wanting? I think not one; for I have ceased to be
the only practitioner  of urine‐therapy according  to the method here
described,  and other practitioners  declare  they  find it as efficacious  as I
myself have done.

, “No, thank you,” or “No, but thank you
so much for asking.” It is a beautiful expression of love when you can
say no while feeling gratitude in your heart. You are laying aside the
ego’s voice that insists that no is bad and yes is good. No one comes to
peace of mind by people pleasing, by saying yes to everyth ing. Jim
Carrey’ s character in the movie Yes Man  had to learn this! If you have a situation where you feel you have been compromi sing
and you need to take action, do so when you are in a state of peace. A
woman who had been compromising and “pleasing” her mother with
certain behaviors for thirty years recognized this defense mechanism and
had an open, direct talk with her mother. The theme of the talk was “no
more.” The straightforward, direct approach may seem to make waves
initially, but it is an antidote to denial, repression, and resentment. Spirit-inspired courtesy is not people pleasing. So, question your
thoughts and behavior and be aware of your motive. You will know by
how you feel if you are people pleasing. Guilt is always hidden in the
past, and you cannot have both ego-induced politeness and freedom at
the same time. The present moment is forgotten when we operate from
people pleasing based on past conditioning and so is the Spirit’ s
guidance. Do not think you can hold onto the past and expect yourself to
feel infin ite and free at the same  time. Instead, be Spirit-inspired in terms
of real kindness. From this place, you do not have a moment of doubt,
and there are none of those words that are in the grey zone. The results
of laying aside people pleasing are authentic relationships, real healing,
and joy! You will feel a calm assurance when you speak from your heart  and
say what you feel is truly most helpful. As you do, past pattern s, habits,
and people-plea sing thoughts of guilt will dissolve away, for they were
never truly a part of the real you.Exercise: Your Fear of Authenticity
Bring to mind an area in your life, a relationship, or a situation
where you feel that you are wearing a mask or you are afraid to
“rock the boat.” Take some time with your journal to reflect upon
your feelings around this situation. 1. Write down your thoughts and judgments of yourself or
others. Do you have expectations of yourself or of others? 2. Look for a limiting belief about yourself. Give examples of
how it is playing out in this situation. 3. Are you able to see that limiting beliefs about yourself are
the cause of your people-pleasing habits? 4. Write down any ways you resist letting go of your people-
pleasing habits and this limiting belief about yourself. How
do you feel about letting the people-pleasing habits go? Do
you want to be right about the way you perceive this
situation and yourself? 5. Invite the Holy Spirit into this situation to help you release
any feelings of responsibility or guilt that accompany the
people pleasin g and to let go of any expectations of
yourself and others. If it feels effortless and natural, share
with the Holy Spirit in your journal about your people-
pleasing habits and your willingness to let them go and be
happy. Tips for Undoing People Pleasing
Here are some stepping-stones  to help loosen your automatic people
pleasing.When you are asked a question, instead of responding
immediately, out of habit, pause. If there is a sense of pressure,
defensiveness, or a lack of clarity about what you should answer,
give yourself permission to say, “I don’ t know right now, but I
will get back to you.” This allows the space to really feel clear on
your answer, as well as to see the ego motivation behind
automatic responses. Pausing allows the space for the Spirit’ s
guidance to be revealed. Be prayerful about making commitments. Giving yourself the
space to feel things out and looking at your motivation before
saying yes can help make the Holy Spirit’ s guidance more clear to
you. When you have been prayerful about a decision, stick with it
and follow it through. Speak from your heart! When you directly share your thoughts
and feelings, notice any concerns about the other person’ s
reactions. Notice and allow your fears and thoughts to arise, such
as the fear of rejection, of hurting others’ feelings, or of being
perceived as unkind. Release these thoughts and beliefs from your
mind and experience the freedom to express truthfully. The more we work with letting go of people pleasing, we actually
see that it is valuable for us to extend the truth inside of us and that really
nothing’ s going to come down on us, the sky isn’t going to cave and fall
in on us. It’s quite the opposite. We get a lot of opportunities on a daily
basis to be vigilant around people pleasing and to allow the Holy Spirit
to help us navigate our mind and the world around us. The more we
communicate truly, the more we attract true communication toward us,
and that is what leads us to an experience that turns fear into freedom. The Delight of Authentic Sharing
Rather than living in fear of the possible reactions of others, we become
authentic and stay in integrity with the truth. We extend the love and the
happiness. We are empowered by love. From that clarity, the directioncan only be integrity of mind, where everything we desire is in
alignment with God, with our right-mindedness. Living a life of no people pleasing is delightful. Doubt and worry
disappear. It is peaceful; it is harmonious; it is restful. It has all the
strength, the power, and the glory of the universe behind it. There is a
sense of invulnerability and fearlessness. You do not hesitate. It is gentle
too. It is pure light! This is worth every bit of mind training. It is worth every bit of
meditation. It is worth every bit of darkness that seems to come up in
your face. It is worth it all because the reward is so great: freedom from
worry. You are peaceful when you don’t have a worry or a concern and
the world seems  to rest in peace with you. That is worth every instant of
mind watching. Peace of mind is no small reward, and it is worth going
for with all your heart.Chapter 12
Communication
Learning to live in the moment together with letting go of people
pleasing will have a major impact on the quality of your commu nication
with others. When your purpose  is to align with Spirit, you will find that
many of your experiences and activities will be reordered, renewed, and
refreshed. Healing and commun ication are directly related, as you will
discover. When we think of communic ation, we usually see it as being
between two people, between two bodies. One form of commun ication is
to feel somebody’ s touch, hug, or caress. Another form of
communication is sitting togeth er having a cup of tea or coffee and a
very intimate talk about your deepest thoughts and feelings. But even
when the other person is not with you, you can communica te. Your
thoughts are powerful, and anytime you think of another person, you
communicate. It’s like prayer.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        If you were
married, if you had children, if you had a mortgage, and if you had a
boss, let’s see how happy you would be then. ” Well, it would be really
strange if God would set up a world where some people could have
fortunate circum stances and other people could have unfortunate
circumstances. Wouldn’ t it be much more reasonable to think that
whatever world we are perceiving is there by our own choice. We have
chosen our life the way we know it. We built it. It is like the little child
with the building blocks, making a castle, making a little fort or
something, building, and then looking at what has been built. There is
really no point in lamenting circumstances. They are there by decision. On an unconscious level, they have been chosen. We chose everything inour movie the way we preferred  it. Even if it seems undesirable to us, on
some level, our ego-self wanted it that way. And, of course, this is why
you can learn to choose again. You are not locked into circum stances,
but by choosing peace more and more consistently, you get a whole new
experience of all circumstances  and situations. When the woman who
feels lonely focuses on gettin g in touch with her core desire, the
experience she wants, rather than on the external circumstances, she will
find present connection and fulfillment and therefore cultivate a
consistent and stable experience of peace of mind that is not dependent
on outer circumstances. The Power of Wanting
If everything that we experience  is there because on some level we want
it, it follows that nothing that we experience is apart from our wanting it
that particular way. Thus, instead of dwelling on weakness, it is
important to see how powerful our mind is. Even what we call chitter -
chatter, the crazy static in the mind that you’ve been telling to just go
away, has its powerful effects on the way we perceive the world around
us. Once we start to
