 the person survives, even though
their quality of life is greatly reduced), then they can say to that
person, “Do you choose to continue living this way? Or, do you
choose to do the thing that we call on this Earth ‘die’? Do you
choose to end this particular physical life?”
And if that person says “yes,” then doctor-assisted suicide
should be permitted. And the very same medical profession that
saved that person’s life should be able to permit the person or his or
her representative to choose death. Because the reason we’re saving
the person’s life in such critical moments is to give them a choice! Not
that we, as doctors, or more broadly as a society, are going to make
the choice for them.
So we rightly should  keep them alive, to preserve the choice for
them, to let them  decide  what “quality of life” they feel is sufficient.Once they’re fully revived and fully thought-functional (or have
representatives who are), then we should say, “Do you want to live in
this iron lung for the rest of your life? Do you want to live paralyzed
from the neck down for the rest of your life? Do you want to live with
a feeding tube? Do you want to live with a colostomy bag? I mean,
how do you want to...” And if the person says, “You know what, I
don’t want to do this, I’m out!”, then the same medical profession
should say, “Fair enough. Can’t blame you a bit. And here, take
these pills and fall into a gentle sleep tonight, and we’ll remove your
body in the morning.”
So that’s where the problem is. We don’t give people—
individual human beings—the authority over their own lives that we
actually give doctors over those lives.
But if I’m in an operating room and I don’t have an Advance
Directive that says, you know, “No unusual efforts should be made to
keep me alive”—if I don’t have an Advance Directive... you’re
doggone right, I want the doctor to do what he can to save my life! I
don’t want him or her to assume that I would rather die. It’s not her
choice to make. It’s mine!
So I want the medical profession to bring all the mirac les of
modern medic ine to bear to keep me alive. Then I get to say, “You
know what,” to my family and my loved ones, and to my doctor, “I’m
going to choose to die now.”
Like that lady in the news recently. I forgot who she was, but
she actually announced publicly—she told the papers and the news
media—the day of her death. She chose the day and the time, and
she and her family had their celebration, and she said goodbye to
her loved ones, then took the medication and slept into her death.
DR. COOPER : Yes, I know the story. That was Brittany Maynard, a
young 29-year-old woman who was diagnosed with a terminal brain
tumor called a “glioblastoma.”5
She would have preferred for her life to go on had she been
perfectly healthy (she made it clear that she did not wish to die) but,
given that there was no cure available to her, she chose to give
herself six months to spend with her loved ones and then to die (as
permitted by Oregon’ s Death with Dignity Act ).
She explained that she preferred this option of a “death with
dignity” rather than to suffer the debilitating consequences of the
brain tumor that would eventually take her life.
Brittany Maynard’ s story captured a lot of media attention, and I
think the bless ing in this youn g woman’ s choice is that it opened the
world’ s eyes to an alternate way of looking at death and dying. It
provided a real-life account of how it would look to give the patient
the choice.

NEALE: Yes. And that’s the way it should be. In an advanced,
intelligent civilization, that is, of course, the way it should be.
We depend on the medical profession to use every miracle at
its disposal to keep us alive, precisely so that we can make our own
decision about it.

DR. COOPER: I got it!

NEALE: And I’m saying that so often—I’ve said it five times now—so
you can rearrange your thinking.
DR. COOPER: And save you, Neale?

NEALE: Of course! If I can’t depend on you...
You know, it’s not your job to decide what’ s best for me! It’s my
job. Your job is to keep me alive, so that I can make that decision! So
I want you to rearrange your thinking, so that you won’t be so
negative about, “Well, the medical profession shouldn’t be so biased
in favor of extending life.” Of course it should! That’ s what medicine’ s
about! To give us the freedom.
The sadness is that modern life has not given human beings
the freedom. The medical profession saves a person’ s life, then that
person’ s trappe d by society, by actual laws that stop us from making
our own choices. That’ s where the problem is.

DR. COOPER: That makes so much sense. And I totally agree.
Thank you for that.

NEALE: Well, I’m telling you right now if I’m in my family room in my
house and you happen to be visiting me and I have a sudden stroke
sitting in the chair, while you’re sitting across the room, I’m not going
to let you decide, “Well, you know what? He’s had a good life. He’s
probably going  to wake up from this stroke and not even be able to
move, he’ll be unable to speak, he’ll be a vegetable. I’ll just let him
die.”
No, no, no!
I’m gonna depend on you sitting there to do whatever you can
do to keep me alive! That’ s why you’re a doctor!
DR. COOPER: Y es, yes! And I will!

NEALE: Now, getting back to your earlier comment around the
benefit of releasing our fear of death... it is profoundly true.
Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross was the first person I heard that
from. She put it in one simpl e sentence. One simple sentence! She
said in her delightful heavy Swiss accent, “When you are not afraid
of dying, you are not afraid of living.”  She captured all that wisdom in
about twelve words.
So to sum it up, I would say this: The individual person is well-
advised not to be afraid of death. But doctors  should well be afraid of
their patients dying! Because  if they are not afraid of their patients
dying, and if they do not do everything they can do to stop their
patients from dying, their patients won’t have the option of making
the choice they wish to make  with regard to life and death. That’ s not
the doctor ’s decision to make.

DR. COOPER: I agree.

NEALE: Unless there’ s an Advance Directive that says “No
extraordinary measures,” or words to that effect. That’ s a whole
different story. But if I don’t have an Advance Directive, believe me,
I’m depending on that guy in the operating room to perform  whatever
miracle he has to perform to keep me alive!

DR. COOPER: For sure!And if I’m sitting across from you and you have some thing
happen, I’ll do everything I can to keep you alive!

NEALE: Oh good! So you won’t think that you’re wrongly “biased” in
favor of life?
Good. I’m glad you said that. That makes me feel much more
confident.Chapter Five

THE JOURNEY OF THE SOUL:
What Happens At the End

DR. COOPER: I think it’s important we touch on the idea of Oneness
in this book. Not only because it is one of the most powerful and
transformative spiritual concepts, but also because if Medicine has
taught me anything, it has showed me with astonishing clarity the
truth of our Oneness.

NEALE: It is one concept that, if fully embraced and understood,
would single-handedly change the world.

DR. COOPER: It absolutely is. I can’t tell you how many patients I
have sat at the bedside with, in the final moments of their lives, who
have had moments of great wisdom and profound insigh t into what
matters. At the end of their lives, they have come to see that the
things that matter most in life all relate back to our Oneness —be it
our relationsh ips with others, the services we have given to
humanity, and our connection to the world at large.
And patients have actually shared this with me! They have
shared their “pearls of wisdo m” into what matters, in hopes that I
could benefit sooner rather than later in my life. And I have beenextremely grateful for this. It has certainly been one of the gifts of
working in the medical profession.

NEALE: There’ s a very important and fundamental reason why the
first impulse— or perhaps, to reframe it, the final impulse, the last
impulse—that people feel when they are faced with the


% from sweet and nonsweet fruits.
2 to 6% from tender, leafy greens and celery.
0 to 8% from everything else (other vegetables like cabbage and broccoli, plus  fatty fruits, nuts, and seeds).

You can generally accomplish this with two or three large fruit mea ls during the day, plus a large salad in the evening. Fruit
predominates heavily, yet you consume as many greens as you like.

Average Caloronutrient Ratios by Food Category
Here is a rough estimate of the average caloronutrient ratio for var ious whole raw food categories, expressed in terms of
percentage of calories from carbohydrates, protein, and fat (C/P/F):

Fruits average 90/5/5
Vegetables average 70/20/10
Nuts average 10/10/80
Seeds average 18/12/70
Avocados average 20/5/75

How Much Overt Fat?
When contemplating reducing your fat consumption to 10% or less of total cal ories consumed, you must remember that
somewhere around 5% of your calories will likely come from fat even if you e at only  fruits and vegetables. Thus, as a rule of thumb,
you should plan on having about 5% of your calories in the form of nuts, seeds, avoc ados, nut butters, and the like. On a 2,000-
calorie diet, you should be shooting for overt fat consumption in the neighborh ood of 100 calories (5% of 2,000 = 100).
What does this mean in terms of food? It means that in a single day, an ave rage person endeavoring to follow the 80/10/10
plan would consume in the neighborhood of:

1/3 of a medium-sized avocado (6-ounces edible portion), or
0.6 ounces of almonds (about 15 nuts), or
20 medium olives, or
less than 1 tablespoon of oil.

There is another option, however. You could choose to eat no overt fats at all f or a day or two, or longer, relying exclusively
upon eating a sufficient quantity of fruits and vegetables to meet  your calorie need. By doing so, you will have effectively “saved up”
for a day when you could eat a moderate quantity of fatty food without feeling  guilt or that you had gone off of the program. If you
average your caloronutrient intake for the week you should still be able t o achieve 80/10/10  in this fashion.
Of course, if you really overdo it on fatty foods, you will notice it right awa y and likely again the next morning. The tiredness,
foul mouth, slowed digestion and elimination, and other sensations are too pron ounced to ignore. They are great motivating factors
to bring you right back to the joys of the straight and narrow 80/10/10.
How Many Calories?
In the beginning, most people do not eat enough raw foods to obtain their necessa ry daily calories, because they are used to
eating concentrated cooked foods. As I described in Chapter 10, you will have to ea t a much  larger volume of whole fresh fruits
and vegetables to obtain the same number of calories that you would from cooked m eats and starches, because raw fruits and
vegetables are not as calorically dense. They contain a large amoun t of water and fiber—essential nutrients to be sure, but these t wo
items add a great deal of volume to our food.
Another obstacle most people must overcome in order to succeed with the 80/10/10  raw diet, is the fear of consuming fruit
for the major portion of their calories. In general, fruits are considera bly higher in calories than vegetables and leafy greens. So it
makes sense that most of the raw food diet be made up of fruit, complemented by lar ge salads to provide essential minerals such as
sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium.
Determining caloric needs is not an exact science. There is room for a  fair amount of flexibility, especially on a day-to-day
basis. Averaged over a year’s time, we will likely find that peopl e who maintain their weight consume a predictable range of calori es
based upon their size, muscularity, and activity level.

10 Times Body Weight = BMR
Below I offer two guidelines for estimating the number of calories you s hould consider eating each day. Both of them begin by
multiplying your body weight (or your ideal/desired body weight) by 10. This provi des a very rough estimate of your resting basal
metabolic rate (BMR)—the number of calories required to operate you r brain, organs, and all essential functions.
For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, you can estimate that you need somewhere a round 1,500 calories per day, plus or
minus about 10%, just to maintain your basic metabolism at rest. Then, dependi ng on your activity level, I offer the following
calculations.

Calorie Guidelines for Healthy (Athletic) People
My optimal calorie-consumption guideline is likely to be different than  the advice you may find elsewhere, and somewhat higher than
the American average. This is because I base my recommendati on upon a healthful (high) level of physical activity—the leve l that
humans would have to maintain in order to obtain sufficient food in a more na tural setting.
Nature intended humans to have to cover large expanses of ground on foot, to cl imb trees, and even to swim when necessary
in order to obtain food and warmth. The resulting fitness level would be consi derably higher than that of the average American, as
would the average calorie output. As more food would be consumed, so would a greate r number of nutrients be available. Good
nutrition literally hinges upon us being fit enough to be healthy.
With the above in mind, I suggest that a healthy athletic person shoul d utilize at least as many calories in physical endeavors as
they use for their resting BMR. (Resting BMR is equivalent to 10 time s your ideal body weight). This means, for instance, that a
150-pound man who uses 1,500 calories as his baseline should also use at least another 1,500 calories in his activities for the day,
on average, for a total of 3,000 calories.
Using the 80/10/10  diet, nutritional intake would be vastly better than the American av erage for all nutrients. Fitness levels
would need to be increased, of course, in order to achieve that level of activi ty, but this can be done gradually.

Calorie Guidelines for Less-Active People
To be abundantly clear, I would like to reiterate: Good nutrition literally hinges upon us being fit enough to be healthy.  By this
I mean to say that even the most “perfect” diet will never result i n true health unless it is accompanied by high-level fitness a nd all of
the other essential elements of healthful living (see sidebar e ntitled “Fundamental Elements of Health”). I cannot recommend high ly
enough that you exert at least as much attention and effort into uplev eling your level of fitness as you do into learning about and
achieving optimal nutrition.
That said, if you are a less-active person wending your way toward fitne ss and health, here are some guidelines for caloric
intake.
If your work and the rest of your day is relatively sedentary, add another 200 ca lories to the BMR estimate described above.
Then add calories for exercise, perhaps 300–600 calories per session. It  could be more or less, depending upon the frequency,
intensity, and duration of your fitness sessions. If you also have a physi cally demanding job, you might require another 800 to 1,600
additional calories or more.
Thus, a sedentary woman who weighs 130 pounds must eat about 1,300 calories simply t o maintain her body weight. Let us
suppose that she needs another 260 calories (an additional 20%) per day to meet he r physical needs such as puttering around the
house, going up stairs, or to the mailbox, etc. This hypothetical woman would ne ed to eat food that supplied about 1,560 calories
per day.
A large man of 280 pounds, who is fit and not fat, who participates in sports and works i n construction, would require roughly
2,800 calories for basal metabolism. Add to that the 1,500 calories he expends at work ea ch day and the 2,000 he needs for his daily sports training. This active man needs to eat sufficient food to su pply him with approximately 6,250 calories per day. He has to
consume four times as many calories as the sedentary woman in our fir st example.

Calorie Comparison: 8 Ounces of Selected Foods
This chart demonstrates the tremendous range of caloric density amon g high-water versus high-fat whole foods in the
80/10/10  program. In each case, the food item weighs eight ounces. (Note that you wou ld have to eat 42 servings of 8 ounces of
lettuce, or 21 large heads, to get the same number of calories as one 8-ounce por tion of macadamia nuts!)

Lettuce:                   39 calories  (1 small head romaine)
Cucumber:            27 calories  (½ medium)

 they had less loss of muscle strength
during hibernation in comparison with other beings. Scientists who
studied bears for over 4 years, estimated that at the end of a five-month
hibernation bears lose only 23% of muscle strength and about 10 -
15% protein. Unlike them, people who spend the same
amount of time in bed, would have lost 85% of muscle strength
and 90% protein.
These bears have a foolproof system also generates a large
number of important questions to be answered. Bear
weigh hundreds of kilograms. Bone in the body of a bear, which remains
immobile for months, under pressure of a large
weight, and besides even more weight presses on the muscles, which consist of
25
25more soft tissue than bone in contact with the ground area
body.
Impotent patients in hospitals require careful maintenance.
Nurses rotate them during the day, allowing the weight
their bodies distributed among the various fields. Thus
they prevent the formation of disease. Care nurses and doctors
for paralyzed patients is likened to a system that is
with bears. Bone cells represent the most effective
the use of calcium metabolism and the bear keeps muscle
loss at lower levels. The study of why the bone
Bears stronger, can lead to the discovery of a method for treating
osteoporosis. Muscle loss is inevitable in people who
starving, and can even be fatal. Stomachs of starving children
swell due to the fact that the muscles in their bodies are torn because of the
no further accumulation of fat and water. But the accumulation of
is not observed in the bodies of bears, and they avoid such a situation,
which can lead to death.
Nevertheless, as happens, the bones of bears and muscle
cells can exhibit such complex structures? As these
cells were deprived of opportunities to think, may regulate entry
and output of calcium from their membranes in such a conscious way? As
it turns out that bears are not at risk of losing muscle as
it occurs in people starving, even if they remain without
food for months? Of course, consciousness, the observed
in the cells that do not belong to the molecules that make them.
Atoms such as oxygen, carbon and nitrogen, can not know what to
bears, and therefore can not plan. You can see
understanding how the cells belong to the person possessing
superior intelligence. There can be no doubt that this is our
Lord God Almighty, who created the bear and gave them
metabolism to support their health during the period of hibernation.
Polar bear comparison with other relatives
living in the most severe weather conditions. With good
fatness it can withstand cold down to minus 40 ° C. Proved that
pregnant and have not reached sexual maturity the females in the winter flow
in a state of hibernation. For this purpose, they dig in the snow
pit and remain there for several months while those born during this time
Bears do not grow up, not enough will get stronger and does not come warm
weather. Males of the polar bear does not fall into a state of hibernation.
A team of scientists led by Dr. Ralph Nelson Winter
1977-1978. held at the Rochester clinic, "Mayo" in the state
South Dakota (USA), a series of experiments to study hibernation
American black bear baribala. The researchers put
a goal: to find out how this kind of bear during the 3-5 -
monthly sleep spends every day up to 4 thousand calories. without receiving food
and water and removing waste from the body.
Investigating using radioisotope methods samples taken from
26
26blood and tissues, scientists have come to the assumption that these properties
animal due to special hormones that are pumped in the fall
in his body from the hypothalamus. Metabolic processes at the bears,
in a state of hibernation, were similar to
metabolic processes in the human body
under dry starvation. However, it was found that the organism
Bear carries out these processes much more efficiently.
A starving person spends to support life as
fat and muscle tissue. After prolonged fasting
people not only lose weight but also losing strength. Bears, on the contrary,
waking up in the spring, have the same strong muscles, which
had a fall, and do not experience hunger another 2 weeks. Scientists
also found that during hibernation exchange proteins in 5
times more intense than in the active state of the animal. For
ensure that the exchange bears fall stockpile
proteins for winter hibernation, eating at least twelve hours a day.
Caloric content of their daily allowance extraordinarily high - up
20 thousand calories. Greatly increased protein metabolism during the winter
hibernation and involves the formation of many waste products. But
in this case, the breakdown products of proteins appeared in trace
quantities. Kidney bear was isolated only a few drops
urine, which through the bladder wall sucked back
in the blood. Along with these discoveries have not yet established why
Bears in the organism does not accumulate toxic breakdown products,

hibernation the body temperature of bears, sometimes significantly
fell, all the metabolic processes proceeded normally. Except
addition, we found out that at room temperature

+35 ° C, in the rectum +22 ° C, in the oral cavity +35 ° C (at +38 ° C

can serve as a model for the selection of diet in chronic
renal failure. in the animal body, which flows
in hibernation, there is no common end-products of decay
protein, and blood concentrations of amino acids, protein, alkaline salts
etc. remains unchanged throughout the winter. In addition,
nitrogen in the abdominal cavity does not accumulate. That is why, if scientists
be able to get a pure substance (presumably hormone),
entering the body from the hypothalamus of bears, with the help of
which are regulated by living processes during hibernation,
they will be able to successfully treat people suffering from kidney disease.

extreme heat and drought, where it becomes impossible to find food

Mrs. Maria Of The B. Martinez { Mexico }
From the 11th of February 1996 I was taking Urine
because they diagnosed me with severe osteoporosis and deformative arthritis
of the fingers, shoulders and back.
Two years before they were going to operate on the bones,
but a specialist doctor commented that he did not have a case to operate
because the prob1em wou1d return soon.
My fingers continued becoming deformed.
I began with this Urine-therapy 4 months ago and approximately 2 months ago I
noticed that the balls that were forming in the knuckles of the fingers
disappeared. I no longer could sleep with my mouth up because I woke up with a
headache and pain in my back. My back was twisted with pain, my knees lost
strength and I could not last 10 minutes to walk up stairs. I had to cut my hair
because l no longer could comb my hair in the back of my head.
I also felt that my shoulders left their place. I had colitis and stomach aches.
Now already I can do everything without feeling more than natural fatigue.
Today I no longer take large amounts of medicine and I no longer have any of my
diseases, thanks to God.

The doctor said that the only solution to know if the tumor is benign or malignant
is to do a biopsy, or to operate directly to remove it.
It gave me much sadness to think about this operation.
Months later the book of Urine-therapy of Chemistry arrived in my hands by
Sonia. 1 read and had such great enthusiasm, that 1 finished two fasts of three

 Each believed his Method the supreme
secret and had notable results with his breathing technique alone.
Nothing will come of nothing. You must spend time in prac-
tice to reap the benefits. An ounce of practice is worth a ton of
theory. Modern life affords little time for anything but getting and
spending. You must be willing to surrender a part of time to speed-
ily advance. The practice must become part of your daily routine.
You will make some progress if you do the exercise more often
than not. But if you practice as regularly as jumping from bed in the
morning, progress will be swift, and chi will begin to build in your
upper body which you should collect at your navel.
To make full use of the ching gathered at the navel requires
study of the Taoist methods of meditation. Slightly below the navel
is the lower "tan tien" center, the lower field of energy in the body
within which the Taoists store chi before refining it back upward.
The chi moves in circles between the lower, middle, and upper tan
tiens, and each time it spirals past it is refined into higher quality of
chi. The process of refinement and balancing of the energy is
taught in the Microcosmic Orbit, the Fusion of Five Elements, and
the Lesser Enlightenment of Kan and Li courses.
It's not unlike taking crude honey mixed with wax and dirt
and dead bees and methodically refining it into the sweetest of
nectars. The Taoists treat sperm like raw honey. The Power Lock
is the step of preventing the raw honey from leaking out of an old
bucket and storing it an a new and well-sealed jar. This jar was
placed at the level of the navel about two-thirds the way back
towards the spine, and was called by the ancient masters the
"cauldron". In this cauldron they mixed and cooked the different96 Taoist Secrets Of Love
chi energies of the body in a process they called "alchemy"—the
precursor of modern chemistry.
The secret alchemical agent they used was nothing more than
ordinary sexual "essence", your ching. But without it, none of the
higher levels of alchemical meditation work. So these simple Sex-
ual Kung Fu exercises—Testicle Breathing, Scrotal Compression,
and Power Lock—may seem simple and too rudimentary to effect
spiritual development, but their proper mastery is essential before
you can move on to loving a woman with full command of your
sexual and spiritual powers. Your sexual essence is an elixir of life
and the fountain of your youth, and is worth training vigorously to
safeguard.

*If a woman performs any of the exercises in this book, substituting her ovaries as the

POLARITY IS THE KEY TO TRANSFORMING
SEX ENERGY
"Sexual interaction is comparable to water and fire. Water and fire
can kill man or help him, depending on how they are used.
—Pao, the plain master
To be a Taoist is to experience life as a harmonious flow of life
energy. In the traditional Taoist terms, this flow in humans is from
"chi", to "ching", to "shien"—from breath to sex essence to
spirit. It flows both visibly and invisibly, in a never ending cycle, as
it circulates within you, between you and the world, and between
Heaven and Earth with man in the middle. It is the blood that flows
between heart and kidney, the love (and hate) that passes between
man and woman, the storms and sunshine that circulates between
sky and earth.
Many people drown in this flow of life; they are simply over-
whelmed by it. Some can't "get" enough flow and feel cheated or
bitter. Others drift aimlessly without purpose, alienated and un-
aware there is a flow. Regardless of your attitude toward life,
nearly everyone seeks at some point, to anchor themselves in a
love relationship. Such is the power of the flow of ching chi, of
sexual essence between man and woman. This much is obvious.
What is also obvious but is almost always overlooked is the polar-
ity between male and female, and the subtle flow between their two
magnetic poles.98 Taoist Secrets Of Love
This polar exchange is overlooked because the flow is invisi-
ble to the physical eye, and because its workings are often too
subtle for the uncultivated mind to perceive. That is why Taoists
study the workings of chi, ching chi, and shien. These energies,
also called the three treasures of life, are the subtle language of life,
and to speak in them properly takes years of practice and refine-
ment. At first approach it may seem like learning a foreign lan-
guage. But after a few lessons you quickly realize you were born
speaking this language and merely forgot the subtle grammar of chi
energy while being intensively schooled by parents and teachers in
more mental subjects.Polarity is the Key To Transforming Sex Energy 99
This flow of energy between opposite poles of male and
female is the key to harmonizing the flow of energy in one's life. It
is the simplest and most basic secret, not only of the Taoist masters
but of every esoteric tradition. It is the key to mastering the Taoist
secrets of love. It's simple because its based on the natural law of
the universe—that positive and negative forces attract and bond
with each other. Its as true for a simple pair of magnets locking
together as it is of the protons and electrons locked into the dance
of subatomic particles that form the atom. The Taoists called this
polarity yin and yang, terms that have become popular today in the
field of holistic health, but are not well understood in terms of their
functioning in sexuality.
One way the Taoists describe it is with the simple metaphor of
cooking. Yang is fire and yin is water. Man is the fire, and woman
is the water. When man makes love with a woman, he cooks the
woman's water (in her womb) with his fire (penis). The woman is
almost always sexually stronger, for her water puts out the male
fire; his erection loses its flame. Yin, the soft and yielding, always
conquers yang, the hard. In the same way water (rivers are yin, or
female) triumphs over solid rock. Thus a stream slowly wears away
a giant mountain and carves the Grand Canyon a mile deep.
YIN AND YANG: BATTLE OF THE SEXES
This battle between yin and yang is seemingly endless, just like the
never ending battle between the sexes. In fact, the Taoist sages
also used the metaphor of combat to elucidate the act of sexual
love. For some men love is a passionate struggle for domination
and surrender; to the Taoists it was more a lawful play of op-
posites. Ideally you enter the battle of the sexes with a spirit of
gamesmanship. You approach not with the intention of defeating
your lover, but in the hope of matching her grace and receptive
energy with the exact complementary male skill and force.
Unfortunately, few men today seem to proceed with such tact
in love-making; as a result, most are beaten soundly within minutes
by the woman. This failure is due to tactical ignorance of both the
male sex organs and the nature of sexual energy. Misunderstanding
of love's strategic laws is so widespread that a myth has developed
that the average man cannot fully satisfy a passionate woman.
In fact, the average man can unfailingly satisfy his mate when100 Taoist Secrets Of Love
he learns to discipline his forces. Untutored man's nature is to
attack: he possesses the offensive weapon. Woman's is to defend:
she protects without exhausting herself. When man assaults
furiously and discharges the sperm, he crumbles. Yet the woman
may remain most eager to continue, even if she kindly denies it and
thus "spares" her opponent.
To pursue the martial metaphor of the Chinese.... The
woman's shield and short sword is her vagina and clitoris. Man is
armed with a long spear alone, his penis. If man attacks too vio-
lently with his love weapon, woman easily fends off his thrusts and
does him in when he exhausts his seed. But if man remains beyond
woman's striking range, she drops the shield from fatigue. The
contest will be over before man has lost his vehicle of higher vi-
tality.
The point is this: Man must stop throwing away his sexual
energies. When he stops the sperm loss, woman is no longer in a
position of superiority. She meets her match and no longer suffers
disappointment. Man doesn't exhaust himself and retreat in humili-
ation, yet feels he has met a good match. Woman reaches the limits
of her erotic capacities and is ready to make real peace with her
opponent.
The sages thus advise you to use your tactical weapons first.
Hold the strategic one in reserve. In other words, use the finger,
tongue and other parts of the body before using the


th Verse
In governing people and serving natur e,
nothing surpasses thrift and moderation.

Restraint begins with giving up one’ s own ideas.
This depends on virtue gather ed in the past.
If ther e is a good stor e of virtue, then nothing is impossible.
If nothing is impossible, then ther e are no limits.
If a man knows no limits, he is fit to lead.

This is the way to be deeply r ooted and firmly planted in the T ao, the secr et
of long life and lasting vision.
OceanofPDF.comLiving by Thrift
and Moderation
There are four words that crop up repeatedly in many of the translations
of this passage of the Tao Te Ching: restraint, frugality, moderation, and
thrift. Here, Lao-tzu is advising you to examine the way you look at these
qualities in relation to your supervisory and parenting roles—he doesn’ t say
that you should sit on the sidelines and do nothing, but he does counsel you
to practice self-control. When you cultivate a style of leadership that creates
“a good store of virtue, then nothing is impossible,” for there are no limits.
Living in thrift and moderation  means being in harmony with the world
through your generous nature. Rather than continually prodding, directing,
giving orders, setting down rules, and demanding obedience, it’s important
to be a leader who accumulates a warehouse full of virtue by living in
accordance with the Tao. When that’s what you have to give away, you’ll
naturally interfere less. Feel joyful knowing that the example you’re
modeling is helping others make the right choices, as this is the essence of
Tao leadership. As Lao-tzu specifically states, “If a man knows no limits, he
is fit to lead.”
People whose lives are run by rules, dogma, and fear can only do what
they’ve been told to do... nothing more. The options for self-direction are
nonexistent for the blindly obedient, so practice restraint, moderation,
frugality, and thrift when making pronoun cements about how others must
behave. Children  raised in families where that blind obedience is demanded
have the highest levels of prejudice  when they become adults. Why?
Because they’ve been taught to “prejudge” what’ s acceptable, according to
someone in a position to lead them. That’ s why it’s so vital to give your
kids an example of leadership that encourages them to make choices based
on higher standards.
I have a gift from my daughter Saje that I’ve placed on my desk, which
I’ve titled Nothing Is Impossible. It’s a green plant growing out of a rock—
there’ s no dirt or earth, only hard rock, yet it thrives, despite what all of us
have been taught to believe. When Saje gave this to me, she remarked thatit reminded her of me because I’ve always said that I refuse to believe in
anything being impossible. My plant helps me remember that nature knows
no limits, and that I am as much a part of nature as both the rock and the
greenery growing within that hard stone.
Lao-tzu reminds you that “if nothing is impossible, then there are no
limits.” So practice living without limits by gathering virtue and modeling
it. When you do, you’ll see the “lasting vision” in those you’ve been
selected to lead in one way or another, and they’ll see it in you, too. And put
the wisdom of this 59th verse to work for you by taking these suggestions:
Gather as much virtue as you possibly can.
For years I practiced gathering virtue without realizing it. I sent hundreds
of thousands of books to individuals and organizations at my own expense,
getting into the habit of beginning each day with this act of love. I spent a
great deal of time giving away much of what I earned, almost all of it
anonymously. I didn’ t realize it at the time, but what I was doing was
accumulating virtue, or what I facetiously called “God points.”
I then found that not all of my life was to be peaks and mountaintops. Yet
when I succeede d in getting out from under what felt like a mountain, I was
virtually unscathed. This is because I was so deeply rooted and firmly
planted in the Tao that my original vision was to be a lasting one,
impervious to external circumstances.
Practice moderating your ego.
Change the way you look at your life by moderating your ego. See
yourself as a being who gives rather than collects, and live on what you
need rather than practicing conspicuous consumption. You’ll begin to see
that your purpose has more to do with Tao consciousn ess than ego
directives. When  you moderate your demands and use only what you and
your family require, you’ll gather virtue points by servin g rather than
accumulating. Lao-tzu reminds you that this is “the secret of long life and
lasting vision.”
William Shakesp eare described this more than 2,000 years after Lao-tzu’ s
passing in his play The Thir d Part of Henry the Sixth:
My cr own is in my heart, not on my head;Not deck’d with diamonds and Indian stones,
Nor to be seen. My cr own is call’d content;
A crown it is that seldom kings enjoy.
Do the T ao Now
Make a commitment to gather five God points today. Imagine how the
Divine Source of all 10,000 things must be operating in order to maintain
the creation cycles of life, and do five things that match up to it. Pick up a
piece of someone else’s trash, which is an example of excess; anonymously
give a gift to someone in need; or perform any other actions that help you
accumulate virtue and remain deeply rooted in the T ao.

Not that evil is not powerful,

Not only will it not do harm to others,

If only the ruler and his people would

OceanofPDF.comLiving with
Immunity to Evil
Your assignment in this verse of the Tao Te Ching is to change the way
you view the presence of evil in your personal world, as well as the entire
planet. You can do so by acquiri ng an inner awareness that evil simply can’t
impact you if you’re centered within the protective net of the Tao. If you
live in accordance with the Great Way, refusing to have injurio us thoughts
directed either toward yourself or others, then the powers of wickedn ess
and wrongdoing will be rendered impotent.
The Tao isn’t about destruction or visiting harm on anyone; rather, it gives
sustaining energy to everyone, without exception. When people violate this
principle, they’re only successful when others respond in kind. This is when
war erupts and dissension becomes presen t in the family and the
community. Negativity then begets more negativity, and the leader or ruler
will ultimately be destroyed as the lar ger grouping falls into chaos.
Update your viewpoint on the presence of malevolence in the world to
one that emphatically affirms: My loved ones and I cannot and will not be
impacted by the presence of evil anywher e in the world. Your inner
landscape will immediately begin to change as well. So when you see or
hear reports of violent thinking and action, your immediate reaction must
be, This is not abou t me. I choose not to have any thoughts of harm directed
to anyone by me. I am a being of lightand love, and therefore the only
thoughts that can emer ge from me ar e in harmony with the great loving Tao.
In other  words, whatever comes your way because of other people won’ t
evoke a plan of revenge and hatred. That’ s because you’ve made yourself
immune to negativity by being T ao centered.
Now you may think that this sounds too simplistic, but imagine if large
numbers of people began thinking this way—and then imagine if rulers
began to emer ge from this kind of consciousness. As Lao-tzu says in this
verse, “If only the ruler and his people would refrain from harm ing each
other, all the benefits of life would accumulate in the kingdom.” Ultimately,our world must live by this principle or humanity will cease to exist... and
it begins with you.
As Tao awareness grows one person, one family, one community, and one
country at a time, priorities will shift. Our energies will go into building
more environmentally sensitive vehicles and homes rather than instruments
that reflect a belief that we can do what ever we want to the planet without
repercussions. We’ll find ways to destroy the stockpiles of unimaginably
horrendous weapons of mass destruction. Cooperation will replace hatred
and thoughts of harm. It will come about, as Lao-tzu states, when rulers and
people change the way they think about harming each other.
As you reexamin e this passage of the Tao Te Ching, see how it can impact
your daily life. When negativity feels like it’s directed right at you, retreat
to that place of kindness and love within


 Einstein initially
gave photons particle status to avoid  the need for an ether through which photons can propagate as waves, although he continued to
believe in the existence of an ether.
The Jomaidon, with only 2 shell UM, is for us only an energy, but it is also a particle. It is the basis of biological life. Its effect is to
convert suitable physical matter into biological matter as explained below. The jomaidon is the main source of our operating energy. It
ﬂows into the chakra system of the body, especially when asleep, and is distributed through the acupuncture meridians. It can also be
used by healers to radiate energy into patients with their hands or mind. Jomaidon is being converted into bio-energy, prana or life-
force by combining with yang energ y or Tudon, another cosmic energ y streaming into our bodies. This supplies 4 UM which on
contact convert high energy jomaidon particles into low-energy saturated electrons, thereby releasing a high excess of bio-energy.
Death happens when the jomaidon inﬂow into a body stops. From this moment on the body starts to decay.
The Meson is produced by nuclear collisions and also by collisions of stellar objects. It is part of some protons and neutrons and also
of the mental body.
The Positron is a byproduct of particle collisions and radio-active decay, and is now used in medical diagnostics. If a positron with 0
shell UM collides with an eltron having 6 shell UM, then the shell UM are being shared between both particles, creating two photons.
Above the etheric level is the astral level. Astral energy vibrates at a higher rate than etheric energy. Astral matter does not contain
protons and electrons, but is composed mainly of positron-based neutrons. Biological bodies have astral bodies which also store
gravitons.
Protons and Neutrons
The main long-lived conventional particles are protons, neutrons and electrons, and to some degree their antiparticles. Protons and
neutrons are “nucleons” or “hadrons” that form the nucleus of atoms. Nucleons in turn consist of smaller subatomic particles.
According to GPS, a proton comes into existence when an eltron binds an unsaturated electron with 1, 2 or 4 shell UM. This creates
a #1, #2 or #4 proton as in Fig.5.
Fig.5: Proton (GPS) - an eltron combined with a meson10/30/24, 4:59 PM Health-Science-Spirit - The Particle Zoo
https://health-science-spirit.com/Science_%26_Spirituality/The-Particle-Zoo.html 3/7The #1 proton is a combination of an eltron with a meson. It is the most stable proton but overall rather rare (about 3%) in our
environment. It appears to have some anti-gravity properties and assists levitation. The #2 proton abounds in biological structures, it
is the combination of an eltron with a jomaidon. The #3 proton, containing a photon, is highly unstable and disintegrates immediately
after forming in a collision. The #4 proton is a combination with a graviton and dominates the physical or non-living world of our
planet. This is less stable than #1 and #2 protons, and is the one used in particle collision experiments and nuclear power generation.
Fig.6: Neutron (GPS) – a meson combined with 2 eltrons
The arrangements are similar for neutrons. The main difference is that there are two eltrons bound to one unsaturated electron
between them as shown in Fig.6. The spin centre of the neutron is at the unsaturated electron in the middle, and it remains there
when one electron is expelled to convert the neutron into a proton. This produces an asymmetrical spin centre which makes the
proton energetically more balanced and like a neutron. The release of an electron with 5 shell UM from the neutron leaves a single
negative UM in the electron and a single positive UM in the proton. This positive UM joins the remaining eltron to give it 7 shell UM
(not shown in Fig.5), and this provides the proton with a positive electric charge.
Nucleons and Health
Except for some minerals, healthy biological structures contain only #2 protons and neutrons. In contrast, toxic and metabolic wastes
or dross which the body tries to expell consist mainly of #4 protons and neutrons. The more unhealthy the body becomes the more
#4 nucleons remain in the body. This is especially noticeable with cancer.
The higher the number of #4 nucleons the lower is the chance of recovery. #4 nucleons may accumulate in the body by eating food
with low biological value, by insufﬁc ient elimination of toxic and metab olic waste, by creating much waste by exposure to harmful
radiation, and by insufﬁcient inﬂow of jomaidon energy.
Molecules or structures with high numbers of #4 nucleons within cells may die and obstruct the functions of these cells. With high
inﬂow of jomaidons, defective cells may be normalised again by converting #4 nucleons back into #2 nucleons.
The Hydrogen Atom
The hydrogen atom is interesting because it allows us to compare its structure as provided by L&B with that from GPS. L&B did not
investigate or describe isolated individual protons, neutrons or electrons, but only as they were present in atoms. They observed that
when one chemical element combines with another, the atoms almost always break up. The new combination is not of one atom with
another as a whole, but instead the components are rearranged into a complex structure. Fig.7 shows the L&B image of the
hydrogen nucleus with several interesting features, especially the arrangement of the Anu (UPA) into groups of three, and also the
oval shape of the nucleus.
Fig.7: Nucleus of the hydrogen atom (L&B)7
The hydrogen triplets, or more generally UM triplets, are held together  by electric charges and energy ﬂows as shown in Fig.10.
Three triplets in turn are bound together into a triplet triangle by opposite charges and energy ﬂows, and both triangles are joined by
their opposite electric charges. These seem to be the main forces that hold the particles inside the nucleus together.10/30/24, 4:59 PM Health-Science-Spirit - The Particle Zoo
https://health-science-spirit.com/Science_%26_Spirituality/The-Particle-Zoo.html 4/7Theosophical concepts are mainly derived from ancient Hindu teachings and Sanskrit writings. Accordingly, physical matter is the
densest phase of the etheric level or dimension, consisting of solids – E7, liquids – E6, gases – E5, and four additional sub-divisions
presently unknown to science.
Fig.8 shows what happened when the investigators psychically moved the examined hydrogen nucleus or proton from its E5 state as
a gas (far left) into progressively higher etheric levels up to E1 (far right).
Fig.8: Dissociation of hydrogen at higher etheric levels (L&B)
When L&B mentally sent energy into the nucleus, it initially broke up into two separate particles. The wall around the nucleus
disappeared while the small Anu or UM triplets rearranged themselves into two walled entities and moved to the E4 level where they
can no longer be detected by physical instruments. With more transmitte d energy they stepwise broke up into quarks (E2) and then
into 18 individual particles, the “Anu” or indivisible particles (E1). With even more energy the Anu disappeared from the etheric plane.
These visions of the Anu and the ether were conﬁrmed and enhanced by the Theosophist and clairvoyant Geof frey Hodson. He also
saw myriads of minute points of light pervading the space and surrounding everything, including the Anu, which were several orders
of magnitude larger than these tiny lights. This ﬁeld of tiny lights was like a mist and also spiralled around the Anu. I assume that
these tiny lights are energy vortices  which rapidly manifest and deman ifest, thereby forming the ether of space. This is essentially
how Albert Einstein envisioned the ether. For a detailed analysis of the discoveries of L&B (but not GPS) see Stephen Phillips, a
theoretical and particle physicist.
Fig.9: Hydrogen Atom (GPS)
Recently researchers were surprised  to ﬁnd that protons commonly have shapes like a peanut or rugby ball, at low energies they may
also resemble a sphere, a doughnut or bagel https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2003/04/030408085744.htm. Fig. 7 clealy shows
the peanut or rugby ball shape as seen with ESP already 100 years ago. The Fig.9 GPS image does not show the electron fully
integrated. The letters refer to binding energies.
Nucleic Rearrangement
There is an apparent discrepancy between Figs.7 and 9: the L&B nucleus has 18 UM/Anu, while the GPS nucleus has only 12 UM.
All of these apear to be from the nuclei of the contained elementary particles. Despite making great efforts in this direction, L&B were
not able to see electrons. For this and other reasons, I conclude that in chemical bonds the nucleus of the electron actually joines the
other two nuclei inside the proton


thank	my	bed	for	a	good	night’s	sleep.	I	am	grateful	for	the	warmth

many	more	things	that	I	am	grateful	for.	By	the	time	I	have	gotten	out	of	bed,
I	have	probably	expressed	gratitude	for	80	or	100	different	people,	places,
things,	and	experiences	in	my	life.	This	is	a	great	way	to	start	the	day.
In	the	evening,	just	before	sleep,	I	go	through	the	day,	blessing	and	being
grateful	for	each	experience.	I	also	forgive	myself	if	I	feel	that	I	made	a
mistake	or	said	something	inappropriate	or	made	a	decision	that	was	not	the

We	even	want	to	be	grateful	for	the	lessons	we	have.	Don’t	run	from	lessons;
they	are	little	packages	of	treasure	that	have	been	given	to	us.	As	we	learn
from	them,	our	lives	change	for	the	better.	I	now	rejoice	whenever	I	see

ready	to	let	go	of	something	that	has	been	hindering	my	life.	I	say,	“Thank
you	for	showing	me	this,	so	I	can	heal	it	and	move	on.”	So,	whether	the

Let’s	spend	as	many	moments	as	we	can	every	day	being	grateful	for	all	the

One	clear	winter’s	day,	I	decided	to	take	a	walk	in	the	tiny	Colorado
wilderness	town	where	I	live.	The	sky	was	a	shade	of	azure	blue	peculiar	to
the	higher	elevations	of	the	Rockies.	The	early	March	sun	poured	like	liquid
gold	through	the	limbs	of	tall	spruce,	creating	dancing	patterns	of	light	in	the

sculpted	layers	of	greens	and	grays,	piercing	clouds	that	hung	like	fairy	mist
in	the	enchanted	valleys	below.
Marching	resolutely	down	the	road,	I	was	all	but	blind	to	the	extraordinary
beauty.	Attempting	to	relax	before	driving	down	the	mountain	to	undergo	a
breast	biopsy	at	the	local	hospital,	I	was	actually	reviewing	the	endless	menu
of	dire	medical	possibilities	that	might	materialize.	As	my	mind	slid	into	well-
worn	patterns	of	awfulizing,	it	gathered	momentum.	Not	only	might	my	body
be	in	mortal	danger,	but	my	life	wasn’t	working	so	well	in	other	ways	either.
Not	only	did	the	glass	seem	half	empty,	but	the	remaining	water	appeared
downright	polluted!
My	youngest	son,	although	nearly	22,	was	terribly	upset	by	the	recent
separation	of	my	husband	of	nearly	24	years	and	myself.	My	fault,	of	course.

managed	to	create—especially	when	I	am	supposed	to	be	some	kind	of	role

of	inner	voices	accompanying	me	down	the	road	on	my	attempt	at	a	mindfulrelaxation	walk.
I	was	rudely	awakened	from	my	toxic	reverie	by	a	searing	pain	in	my
hindquarters.	Perfectly	focused	on	my	well-rehearsed	mental	movies,	I	had
been	completely	unaware	of	the	speedy	approach	of	a	large	German	shepherd
who	bounded	up	and	bit	me	unceremoniously	on	the	behind.	My	mental
movie	department	immediately	began	to	run	a	feature	film	starring	my	bare
buttocks	being	sutured	in	the	Boulder	Community	Hospital	emergency	room,
while	I	was	simultaneously	being	injected	with	huge	doses	of	tetanus	toxoid
and	rabies	vaccine.	I	would,	no	doubt,	miss	my	biopsy	and	have	to	undergo
that	second	round	of	medical	torture	on	another	day.
I	reached	down	into	my	pants	expecting	to	encounter	a	sticky	mass	of	blood.
Strangely,	my	hand	emerged	perfectly	clean.	Energized	by	sudden	hope,	I
slipped	behind	a	bush	and	pulled	my	pants	down.	While	a	large	red	welt,
framed	by	the	impression	of	a	perfect	set	of	canine	teeth,	graced	my	derrière,
the	skin	was	magically	unbroken.	With	a	yelp	of	pure	joy,	I	pulled	up	my
pants	and	burst	from	the	bushes	with	a	whoop	of	uncensored	gratitude.	No
emergency	room.	No	tetanus	shots.	No	slow	death	from	rabies.	I	could	get	to
the	biopsy	on	time.	Lucky	me.
Suddenly,	the	entire	scene	seemed	hilariously	funny.	The	dog	was
transformed	from	a	nasty	cur	to	a	Divine	Messenger.	“Wake	up,	you	silly
human!	Feel	the	sun	on	your	face	and	the	wind	in	your	hair.	You	are	alive,
and	the	world	is	beautiful.	The	mountains	are	alive,	and	the	day	is	young.
There	are	endless	possibilities	to	experience	and	worlds	to	create.”
The	veil	of	forgetfulness	dropped	from	my	eyes,	and	I	suddenly	found	myself
overwhelmed	with	gratitude	for	the	gift	of	life.	Every	breath	was	precious.
Every	step	was	a	miracle.	The	stresses	I	had	obsessed	about	seemed	like
cleverly	constructed	challenges	that	beckoned	me	to	create	life	more
mindfully	and	authentically.	Peace	settled	around	me	like	a	down	quilt,	and	I
felt	held	by	unseen	arms.
Gratitude	is	indeed	like	a	gearshift	that	can	move	our	mental	mechanism	from

Salt is a Slow but Sure Killer!
Common table salt (inorganic
sodium chloride) is both unnecessar y
and injurious to the human body.  It acts
like the inorganic minerals to be found
in almost all drinking water except
steam-produced distilled water. Table
salt can cause encrustations in the

waterlog body tissues, making them

Japanese suffer from the highest blood pressure in the
world. They are known to be the world’ s highest flabby and without skin or muscle tone.
As a general rule, table salt users have a high elevation
salt consumers. And my father’ s
grandfather, who had a massive
stroke in front of Dad’ s eyes at the
dinner table, was a heavy user of
inorganic salt. He put table salt on
almost ever ything he ate – including
tomatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe,
celer y and radishes – and he ate many salty foods,
including ham, bacon, corned beef, hot dogs, luncheon
meats, salted popcorn, pretzels and salted nuts.
Eating such large amounts of salt and salty foods gave
him an unquenchable thirst. My dad would often watch
his grandfather consume as much as 2 pitchers of water
at each meal! He used table salt, ate salty foods and
washed ever ything down with hard well water that was
saturated with inorganic minerals. Is it any wonder that
his arteries turned to stone and a stroke killed him?
Shake your salt habit. Studies show the salt habit raises risk of heart attack, stroke,
hypertension, kidney disease and stomach cancer. – Institute of Medicine – www.iom.edu Organic Sodium – Power ful Natural Solvent
Organic sodium is a powerful natural solvent and
neutralizer of toxic waste products. In contrast, table
salt – an inorganic sodium chloride – not only is
unnecessar y, but is harmful to the body’ s chemistry.
In animal and human processes, organic sodium has
many important functions. For the transmission of the
electric induction current, which is generated in the
nerve spirals by ir on in the blood, a sodium liquid
is necessar y (as is shown by the construction of electric
batteries). For this purpose, th e normal blood serum
contains a comparatively large quantity of organic sodium
which favors and sustains the generation and conduction
of the body’ s electric currents.
Moreover, organic sodium plays an important part
in the formation of saliva, pancreatic juice and bile. The
dissolving and r educing properties of sodium can be ver y
distinctly recognized in the emulsification and the
saponification of fats, especially in the bile. Organic
sodium is a fat fighter. It helps to keep the waxy killer,
cholesterol, at healthier levels of 150 to 180.
Organic s odium is essential for purifying the system
of carbonaceous waste products. Let us remind you again
that sodium is of value to the body only when obtained
in organic form, as from fruits, vegetables  and kelp, etc!

Every man is the builder of a temple called his body. We are all

we add at the table or during cooking, but from processed, packaged foods,
canned, frozen and bakery products, etc. – Tufts University Nutrition Letter
God makes all things good; man meddles with
them and they can become evil. – Rousseau 96 As previously noted, inorganic salt is indigestible and
especially when eaten in large quantities is not easily
eliminated fr om the body. It is therefore deposited in the
tissues of the body and an insatiable craving for water
develops as the body attempts to wash the salt from its
system. Thus the tissues and the vital organs become
waterlogged. When this condition reaches the heart, we
have what is known as congestive heart failure. The heart
cannot function under the combined stress from hardened
arteries, added to the flabbiness from waterlogging.
Congestive heart failure kills millions ever y year!
Misinformation About Killer Salt
Using common table salt is one of the most twisted,
widespread habits and is injurious to your health! The
consumption of salt in the United States now amounts
to more than 100 pounds per person each year, and its
use is constantly increasing! The salt companies do a
thorough brainwashing job, even telling people they
need iodized salt to prevent goiter. Sodium chloride, or
common table salt, is an inorganic substance which has
been the subject of much confusion in the minds of
people for many years – particularly in regard to its
necessity as an adjunct to our food.
We Constantly Hear These
Erroneous Statements About Salt:
• “The salt desire is instinctive to humans and animals.”
• “It is the only substance which we take into our bodies
directly from mineral elements.”
• “Common table salt is one of the most essential of
the mineral constituents of the body.”
• “In hot weather, when we sweat a great deal, we lose
the salt from our bodies. Therefore we should use
large amounts of salt and salt tablets to replace it; or
else we get sick, weak and suffer from exhaustion.”
• “Without salt, we would die!”

of the Gerson Therapy.
Hyperactivity
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is much in the news these days. It
refers to children who show disturbed, hard to manage behavior: constant overactivity, lack of
concentration, aggression, impulsiveness and distractibility. In the official view it could be caused
by central nervous system dysfunction—a debatable opinion.
Over thirty years ago Dr. Benjamin Feingold, M.D., developed a dietary treatment for this
condition, which is in strong sympathy with the Gerson principles. He excluded all artificial
flavors and colors, all preservatives, some kinds of sugars, yeast, salicylates, and prescribed
instead fresh, preferably organic foods. His method attracted enthusiastic support and sharp
criticism, the latter mainly from the food industry.
Since then many naturopaths and nutritionists have had good results, treating ADHD children
by simply changing their diet to wholesome organic food, excluding all additives. Unfortunately
orthodox physicians, who are unfamiliar with dietary principles, prescribe hyperactive youngsters
the drug Ritalin, a highly addictive substance closely resembling cocaine. Not surprisingly the
side effects, including permanent brain damage, are dire. The drug is prescribed even for children
younger than six years old, sometimes on the say-so of a nurse who considers the child ‘ill
behaved’ and wants to keep him/her quiet and obedient—in fact zombie-like.
It is a terrifying fact that nearly two million American children are drugged with Ritalin,
and the number is rising. Mothers are grateful for Ritalin, which eliminates their children’s
destructiveness and aggression, since they don’t understand the true—nutritional—cause of such
behavior, and therefore don’t know how to deal with it sensibly and effectively. Their pediatricians
don’t know, either, how to advise them correctly—all they are trained in is the use of drugs. ( see
Ritalin  in Chapter 5. pg. 64)
Even the mildest form of the Gerson protocol puts an end to ADHD in no time at all.
Depression
All over the developed world depression is rapidly becoming a major mental health problem,
causing much suffering and incapacity, loss of earnings, plus growing expenditure on treatment,
mainly by drugs.  According to the World Health Organisation, by 2020 clinical depression will
become the second leading cause of disability worldwide.  Alarmingly enough, already now more
and more children and adolescents become depressed; many of them react by developing eating
disorders or committing self-harm.

www.thegersonway.comWe need to differentiate between two kinds of depression: one caused by psychological, the
other by physical factors, although they often affect each other. Human life has never been free
from problems and difficulties, and the resulting depression needs to be alleviated by professional
psychological help and support. (Ways to deal with depression caused by a cancer diagnosis are
described in Chapter 24)
Here we are concerned with the physical basis of depression, turning our spotlight on the
brain. Clearly, our thinking, outlook, feeling reactions, handling of daily problems, as well as
control of movement, physical coordination and many more vital activities are directly related to
the brain. Thus its function is basic and depends on the health and correct working of the brain
cells. Although it is a relatively small organ compared to the total body mass, the brain uses up
some two-fifths of the body’s intake of oxygen and a fifth of its blood supply. We may safely
assume that it also requires a large amount of nutrients—vitamins, minerals and enzymes—to
perform its incredibly complex tasks. Since the so-called “normal” American diet is chronically
short of such nutrients, obviously the brain’s needs are not fulfilled. Yet as part of the Central
Nervous System (CNS), the brain’s tissues are so specialized that, unlike the tissues of other
organs, most of them are unable to re-grow, i.e., reproduce themselves.
From this it follows that if the brain cells are inadequately nourished, they cannot function
properly, their fragile balance is disturbed and certain mental disturbances occur, including bi-
polar disorder, schizophrenia, insomnia, chronic anxiety, and, above all, depression. Most of
these conditions have been alleviated by up to 90% by vitamin (inositol) treatment (see Carl C.
Pfeiffer, Ph.D., M.D., Mental and Elemental Nutrients,  Keats Publishing, Inc.,1975. P.g145).
Double Nobel Prize Laureate Linus Pauling has also stated that 60% of schizophrenics treated
with megavitamins either improved or had complete relief of symptoms (ibid., Pg.12). Dr. Abram
Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D. first discovered that niacin (Vitamin B3) lowered cholesterol, and that
excess cholesterol was a contributory factor in schizophrenia. He was able to restore thousands
of schizophrenics to normalcy by treating them with megadoses of niacin and ascorbic acid
(Vitamin C.)
Under normal circumstances the brain is protected from the penetration of toxins (poisons)
by the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB), a membrane that controls the passage of substances from
the blood into the brain. The BBB can be damaged and broken down by microwaves, radiation,
hypertension ( high blood pressure),  infection, and most importantly by severe toxicity of the
organism, which stops the barrier from blocking the penetration of poisons into the brain.. Hence
the vicious circle of inadequate nutrition and toxicity spins on, and depression and other kinds of
mental ill-health set in.
Almost as bad as the proliferation of clinical depression is the recent development of drugs to
relieve the condition. These highly toxic drugs are prescribed even for young children, although
the well-known side effects include severe worsening of the depression, to the point of suicide or

fairly quickly, even in patients who have already undergone drug treatment and are suffering
from its side effects. The therapy’s detoxifying coffee enemas, and the flooding of all body
tissues, including the brain, with the needed nutrients, is the quickest and safest way to relieve
depression.
Case History: Some eight years ago, as Charlotte Gerson was traveling far and wide all over
the USA, giving lectures to numerous groups, she stayed at a charming little motel. The manager,
P.B., was interested in her work, and in the course of their conversation he told her that he was
suffering from severe clinical depression, controlling the condition with prescription drugs. He
also admitted that he had been in Viet Nam and had been exposed to “Agent Orange.”
When Charlotte told him more about the nutritional approach to healing, P.B., aged around
50, purchased the Gerson publications and began to follow the therapy on his own at home as
best he could. In December of 2006 he reported that he had recovered, was able to discontinue all
medical drugs, felt very well, since he no longer suffered the side effects of those drugs, and led
a normal active life.
Crohn’s Disease
The medical term for this condition is regional ileitis.  It is a chronic inflammation of the
lower two-thirds of the small intestine, the ileum,  and as a rule alternates between periods of
aggravation and remission. The patient suffers from diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss,
anemia, and eventually, often after several years, intestinal obstruction. According to Taber’ s
Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary, “The cause is unknown.” As orthodox medicine has no cure for
this condition, the final outcome is usually surgery, removing a large portion—or even the entire
length—of the colon, and installing a colostomy bag.
Case History : M.G.  was only 15 when she was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. She spent
much of that year commuting between her home and the General Hospital in Sault Ste.Marie,
Ont., Canada, missing much of her schooling. Several times when visiting the hospital she was
on the verge of developing bowel obstruction; being unable to absorb her food, she weighed only
78 lbs. Her physicians suggested surgery, but this was refused. Just in time her family discovered
