 wind in
my sails. The boost in energy came straight away and I carried on all evening
right up to the next base camp, where I slept like a baby. I was enjoying every
single moment on the mountain and this affected the quality of my orin.
Anyone who does orin looping knows very well from their own experience that
the abundant nutrients, hormones, etc that are contained in urine are very
readily absorbed and utilized by the body. When you are happy the quality goes
up, but if you are unhappy or have excessive stress the quality goes down. You
can actually physically feel this.
Stress and your attitude towards it affects the quality of you and therefore the
liquid you, which is your orin. Stress can't be avoided completely; unexpected
things go wrong in life for everyone.
My father always set a really good example when things went wrong. He would
always count his blessings and say it could be worse. No matter what went
wrong he would always be happy and content, no matter what. Contentment
really improves the quality of you and of course your orin.
So this is the ideal we want to aim for with orin looping. Have a good attitude
towards stress. Let go of resentment, bitterness, hatred and regret. All these
things negatively affect the quality of you and your orin.Move on, have a good attitude from now on so that you improve the quality of
yourself and your orin. Let your new omad orin looping chapter of your life be a
turning point. Be content with what you have, do not procrastinate happiness, be
happy now. This will improve the quality of your life and you will produce the
best quality coconut water tasting orin.
Chase excellence; strive to be the best version of yourself and this will result in
the best quality orin. I can't emphasise it enough how the quality of your orin is
an expression of the quality of you.
Don't be discouraged if your orin is still unpleasant at the moment. You have a
goal now. With the help of omad orin looping and striving to be the best version
of yourself you will increase the quality of your liquid expression of yourself to
the point where it is the best liquid that you ever want to drink.
I understand this sounds farfetched to many who think that urine is always yucky
and unpleasant. But I can absolutely assure you that my orin is a beautiful
looking, smelling and tasting drink. I value it very highly and don’t want any
other drink throughout the day than what my bloodstream gives me.
On omad your body will be in a fasted state for 23hrs a day. This is very good for
your blood and therefore your orin, your body is not dealing with pushing all that
food through you all that time. The compounds released are more beneficial due
to not being interrupted by having to push food through you during those 23 hrs
a day. It's not just the human growth hormones that increase in your orin by
around 2000%, this applies to every other beneficial compound made by the
body for your body when on omad. The percentages will be different with each
compound but the principle is the same. On omad the good stuff increases by
huge amounts in your orin. So on omad orin looping programme your body
makes even more of the beneficial compounds at exactly the right time. The
answer to deficiencies is not to eat for 23 hrs a day and feed yourself your own
perfect medicine instead. Feed yourself your own personal pharmacy that is
complete and will not take you out of the fasted state.
To reinforce this point, Breast milk is a product made from the blood just as orin
is a product made from the blood. The incredible design of the body and blood
has been very cleverly designed to change throughout the day and give exactly
what is needed at the right time.
Urine is also known as blood plasma ultrafiltrate. Or ultra filtered blood plasma.
Milk is also ultra filtered blood plasma. Milk and urine are both filtered blood; the
first milk produced after the baby is born is called colostrum, it is basically the
same as the urine the baby was just drinking before it was born.
The official definition of colostrum in medical texts is well known to be the same
as urine. To quote one medical text “a yellowish fluid rich in antibodies and
minerals that a mother's breasts produce after giving birth and before the
production of milk. It provides newborns with immunity to infections.”As such if you have ever had a glass of raw cow milk or Breast milk, it is the
same as drinking blood and urine; they have the same nutrients. They are made
the same way. The first substance produced by the mother’s breasts is basically
orin, a very clean high quality urine.
Breast milk changes from morning to midday to later in the day, and has
different things made and released for different times of the day. The blood in all
humans operates just the same way. But due to modern diet and lifestyles most
people are deficient in what their body needs at the right time. By looping their
orin they can greatly reduce these deficiencies.
One final point in this chapter. I think some people put too much weight on this
idea that the nutrients found in urine are mostly from the food we eat. I have
seen very good evidence, however, that this is not true because at least several
key nutrients in urine are present in amounts much, much larger than could
possibly be obtained from food, such as Vitamins B1 (Thiamine), B6, Folic Acid,
and Biotin.
In the Book "Urinalysis in Clinical Laboratory Practice" by Helen M. Free, in
section 4 in the table of contents (Nature and Composition of Urine from Healthy
Subjects) one is able to see the list of constituents measured in the daily pass of
urine.
The most interesting thing to me is that the amounts of several important
nutrients are found in amounts many, many times higher than it is possible to
obtain them from food. In other words, these nutrients are present in urine in
orthomolecular dosages, basically megadoses that far exceed what is possible to
obtain from food.
This to me indicates that the body produces and multiplies its own nutrients,
because if what showed up in our urine was simply the result of what we eat,
there would be no way that, for example, our urine could contain 4mg per day of
Folic Acid (that is 4,000 micrograms, and most people get well under 800
micrograms in their diet. Or 35mg of biotin per day. That is 35,000 micrograms
of biotin. The average person gets around 300 micrograms or less in the diet.
That is also the "Recommended Daily Allowance". 35,000 micrograms is a very
large orthomolecular dose and even the highest dose supplements don't have
that much in one tablet. It's well known that biotin is produced in the body, but I
believe that all or most of the known and as yet unknown nutrients actually are
produced and multiplied by the body, including known and so far
unidentified/unknown vits and minerals.
Thiamine, Vitamin B-1. As just one example 200mg per day! Most people don't
even get 5mg from food. It's impossible to get anywhere near 200mg from food,
the only way is through supplementation....or urine! And on omad orin looping all
these good things go up by large amounts.Vitamin B-6. 100mg per day. A large orthomolecular dose, again only obtainable
through supplementation or urine. This can be true of all other beneficial
nutrients.
So it is not true that the nutrients in orin mostly come from food, they mostly
come from your body but it is true that what you eat affects the quality of the
Orin. I’m not saying that what you eat isn’t important, but I am saying that your
own urine is the very best supplement you could ever take.
Imagine a supplement that can change throughout the day and give your body
exactly what it needs at the right time, exactly what the body needs at that time
and is bio available recognised to be used straight away. You just imagined your
own orin.
Chapter 3
Omad Orin Looping For Life protocol, the 4 ones rule;
Per day Only 1 meal. On only one 1 plate. With only 1 beverage. In 1 hour max.
This is the ultimate bio life hack. Physical and cognitive metal benefits as well as
financially beneficial. Your orin and your life will improve in astronomical ways
you can't even imagine if you incorporate this protocol as a lifestyle choice long
term. Omad orin looping for life.
In a nutshell that’s it. You eat only once per day in the evenings at a time that
suits you. You have a one plate meal and as a starter have either a large juice or
smoothie. This will digest quickly and you can take your time eating and most
importantly ENJOYING your solid food meal all in one hour. You can eat whatever
you want in your one meal, but the better choices you make the better the
results will be.
To start the day, drink a couple of litres of elixir (orin) as soon as you wake up.
All that you have produced since your last meal the previous evening. This does
not take you out of fast


 future. However,
untreated breast cancer is considered deadly, and today’s
medicine is good at wiping it out over the short run. In a
climate of opinion ruled by fear, people prefer to run the
risks of the cure rather than the disease.
I referred Chitra to the clinic where I work, in Lancaster,
Massachusetts. She stayed for a week and received
treatments; she also learned an outpatient program to use
at home that included a change of diet, some Ayurvedic
herbs, a speciﬁc daily routine including simple yoga
exercises, and instruction in meditation. These measures
look diﬀeren t on the surface, but underneath they all aimed
at bringing her day-to-day existence to a settled, restful
state, buildin g a foundation for healing. In Ayurveda, a
level of total, deep relaxation is the most important
precondition for curing any disorder. The underlying
concept is that the body  knows how to maintain balance
unless throw n oﬀ by disease; therefore, if one wants torestore the body’s own healing ability, everything should be
done to bring it back into balance. It is a very simple notion
that has profound consequences. Chitra was also given two
special mental techniques that went directly to the root of
her cancer. (I will say more about these later.)
—
Chitra followed her program faithfully and came back to
see me every six weeks. She also continued the course of
chemotherapy set up by her doctor at home in New York.
When we talked about that I said, “If I could conﬁdently put
you on nothing but Ayurveda, I would—the deterioration in
your physical state would then be much less. But you came
to me a very sick woman, and we know that the
chemotherapy works as an outside approach. Let’s combine
the outer and the inner and hope that they add up to a real
cure.”
For almost a year I followed Chitra’s progress. She
always listen ed with a trusting attitude, yet as she returned
for each visit, it was clear that she was not improving. Her
lung X rays were still bad, her shortness of breath grew
worse, and she began to look weaker and more dejected as
the disease advanced. Her voice took on a note of panic.
Finally the day came when Chitra did not show up for her
appointment. I waited out the week and then called her
home.
The news was not good. Chitra’s husband, Raman, told
me that she had suddenl y developed a high fever and had
to be hospitalized over the weekend. For some time her
lungs had been seeping ﬂuid into the pleural cavity that
surrounds them, and her doctor suspected that an infection
had set in. Given her grim progno sis, there was no
guarantee that Chitra would ever leave the hospital.Then a very curious thing happened. After a day or two
on antibiotics, Chitra’s fever went from 104 degree s F. back
down to normal, which puzzled her attending physician. It
is very unusual for a high-grade fever to reverse itself so
rapidly if the underlying cause is an infecti on in a
terminally ill patient. Could there be another cause besides
infection? He decided to take chest X rays, and the next
day Raman called me sounding both exhilarated and
confused.
“She doesn’t have cancer anymore!” Raman told me
jubilantly over the telephone.
“What do you mean?” I asked, taken aback.
“They can’t ﬁnd any cancer cells at all—nothing.” He was
almost unab le to contain himself. “Chitra’s oncologist at
ﬁrst was sure that they had X-rayed the wrong patient and
wanted to take some more pictures, but now he’s
convinced.”
Overjoyed, relieved, and unable to explain this sudden
stroke of salvation, Raman regarded his wife’s recovery as
a miracle. When I called Chitra in her hospital room, she
kept crying into the phone, “You did it, Deepak,” while I
kept insisting, “No, no, Chitra, you did it.” I had never
anticipated that such a rapid cure would result from her
treatments, either conventional or Ayurvedic. In retrospect,
I see that her high fever was a kind of burn-oﬀ from the
dying cancer, a process known as tumor necrosis. But the
exact mecha nism involve d has no explanation. If there is
such a thing as a mirac ulous cure, this was one, I was
certain.
Within a few weeks, however, our mutual jubilation began
to change. Chitra’s “miracle” wasn’t holding. It eroded ﬁrst
within herse lf: instead of being able to trust in her
inexplicable recovery, she became conﬂicted, morbidly
afraid that the cancer would return. She called to ask me if
she should resume chemotherapy.“It’s been two months since the cancer disappeared,” I
said. “Does your doctor ﬁnd any new cancer cells?”
“No,” Chitra admitted, “but he thinks that the
chemotherapy cured me and that I should continue with it.”
I bega n to feel frustrated. I knew, as did her atten ding
physician, that the particular chemotherapy Chitra had
received was not known to produce sudden, total
recoveries of this kind, certainly not in advanced cases
where the cancer had begun to spread to other sites in the
body. Also, it was becoming obvious that she was being
worn down past endurance. The chemotherapy had caused
almost const ant nausea, and her hair had fallen out in
frightening amounts, adding to the shame she felt following
her breast surgery. All of this compromised the Ayurvedic
treatments we were trying. If even higher doses of
chemotherapy were given, she would become more
depressed, more prone to infections, and weaker in every
way.
Yet, at the same time, I did not have a strong enough
reason to tell her not to proceed. What if she suﬀered a
relapse in six months and died?
“Go ahead with your chemotherapy,” I advised, “but stick
with our program, too, okay?” She agreed.
For several months more, Chitra remained free of
disease, but she also remained disturbed and mystiﬁed. It
seemed that Chitra’s cancer was easier to defeat than the
sinister doubt that was creeping back into her life, defying
her to be well.
Chitra’s agonizing dilemma is the real starting point of
this book. For her to be well again, she needed an
explanation. What had happened to her? Was her cure a
miracle, as she thought at ﬁrst, or only a tempora ry stay of
execution, as she came to dread? By going deeper into the
mind-body connection, I believe an answer can be found.—
Research on spontaneous cures of cancer, cond ucted in
both the United States and Japan, has shown that just
before the cure appears,  almost every patient experiences
a dramatic shift in awar eness. He knows that he will be
healed, and he feels that the force responsible is inside
himself but not limited to him—it extends beyond his
personal boundaries, throughout all of nature. Suddenly he
feels, “I am not limited to my body. All that exists around
me is part of myself.” At that moment, such patients
apparently jump to a new level of consciousness that
prohibits the existence of cancer. Then the cancer cells
either disapp ear, literally  overnight in some cases, or at the
very least stabilize without damaging the body any further.
This leap in consciousne ss seems to be the key. It does
not have to come in a ﬂash, however. Chitra was cultivating
it deliberately, through her Ayurvedic techniques.
Therefore, her ability to stay at a higher level of awareness
was strikingly correlated with her condition. Somehow she
could motiva te the absence of cancer, but just as easily she
could return to it. (I think of this as being like a violin
string whose  pitch varies as you slide your ﬁnger up and
down it.) The word that comes to mind when a scientist
thinks of such sudden changes is quantum. The word
denotes a discrete jump from one level of functioning to a
higher level—the quantum leap.
Quantum is also a technical term, once known only to
physicists but now growing in popular usage. Formally, a
quantum is “the indivisi ble unit in which waves may be
emitted or absorbed,” the deﬁnition given by the eminent
British physicist Stephen Hawking. In laym an’s terms, the
quantum is a building block. Light is built up from photons,
electricity from the charge of one electron, gravity  from the
graviton (a hypothetical quantum, not yet found in nature),and so on for all forms of energy—each of them is based on
a quantum and cannot be broken down into anything
smaller.
Both deﬁnitions—the discrete jump to a higher level and
the irreducible level of a force—appear to apply to certain
cases like Chitra’s. Therefore, I would like to introduce the
term quantum healing  to describe what happened to her.

	Research	out	of
Stanford	University	found	that	by	triggering	the	synthesis	of
vitamin	D	within
the	body,	limited	sun	exposure	may	cause	immune	cells	to	travel	to	the	outer
layers	of	the	skin,	where	they	are	available	to	protect	and	help	repair	damage
caused	by	excessive	sun	exposure.
14
So	how	much	sun	is	the	right	balance	for	your	beauty?	Well,	first	of	all,	we
don’t	recommend	exposing	your	delicate	facial	skin	to	the	sun.	It’s	too
precious,	and	it’s	obviously	the	first	place	you	want	to	protect	against	visible
signs	of	aging.	Always	wear	a	hat	when	you	are	exposed	to	sunlight,	and	be	sure
to	use	nontoxic	sunscreen	protection.
To	get	healthy	sunlight,	focus	on	your	limbs
.
Michael	F.	Holick,	MD,	PhD,	who
heads	up	the	Vitamin	D,	Skin,	and	Bone	Research	Laboratory	at
Boston
University	and	is	the	author	of	the	book
The	UV	Advantage
,	agrees.	He
recommends	sensible	sun	exposure	of	5	to	10	minutes	of	direct	sunlight	on
bare	legs	and	arms	two	or	three	times	a	week.
15
	Applying
sunscreen	is	definitely
recommended	for	any	sun	exposure	beyond	that.	The	sun	will	feel	great	on
your	arms	and	legs	during	short	walks	in	the	sunlight.	Try	parking	your	car	a
little	farther	away	from	the	mall	or	grocery	store	the	next	time	you	go	shopping
and	enjoy	some	extra	time	in	the	sun.	Take	5	minutes	to	read	outside,	to	sip
your	favorite	tea,	or	just	to	look	at	the	beauty	around	you,	whether	you	are	in
the	suburbs	or	in	the	city.	Even	in	most	industrial	areas	you	can	usually	find
something	beautiful.	This	will	naturally	feel	fantastic	and	delicious	for	your
whole	body,	which	loves	getting	some	light,	even	for	a	very	short	time!	Holick
also	recommends	supplementing	with	1,000	IUs	of
vitamin	D,
16
	especially	in
the	winter,	when	you	may	not	get	adequate	sunlight.You	can	also	balance	the	beauty	of	natural	sunlight	with	foods	that	are	rich
in	vitamins	C	and	E	as	well	as	selenium.	These	are	great	skin	beauty	foods	that
protect	against	sun	damage.
Karen	E.	Burke,	MD,	PhD,	of	the
Mount	Sinai
School	of	Medicine	says,	“These	antioxidants	work	by	speeding	up	the	skin’s
natural	repair	systems	and	by	directly	inhibiting	further	damage.”
17
	Some	great
natural	sources	of	these	Radical	Beauty	nutrients	include	acai,	blueberries,
Brazil	nuts,	almonds,	oranges,	and	bell	peppers.
Capturing
Energy	Directly	from	the	Light
We	all	know	that	plants	convert	sunlight	into	energy.	But	in	2014	a
groundbreaking	study	published	in	th
e
Journal	of	Cell	Science
	suggested	that
animals	that	consume	a	chlorophyll-rich	diet	are	also	able	to	derive	energy
directly	from	the	sunlight.
18
	Previously,	we	believed	that	green	plants	were	the
only	organisms	that	were	able	to	convert	sunlight	into	biological	energy	in	the
form	of	adenosine	triphosphate	(ATP).	This	study	showed	that	the
mitochondria	in	animal	cells	“can	also	capture	light	and	synthesize	ATP	when
mixed	with	a	light-capturing	metabolite	of	chlorophyll.”
19
In	other	words,	this	study	implies	that	animals—including	humans—can
borrow	the	light-harvesting	capabilities	of	chlorophyll	when	consuming	a	diet
rich	in	plant	food	and	use	it	for	energy	(ATP)	production.	Some	of	the	animals
researched	that	were	fed	such	a	diet	and	exposed	to	light	also	saw	an	increased
life	span.	Furthermore,	the	energy	coming	from	the	chlorophyll-induced	diet
and	light	exposure	was	believed	to	help	animal	mitochondria	function	in	a
healthier	way.
20
	This	is	super	exciting	from	a	beauty	standpoint,	because
healthier	mitochondria	function	means	a	reduction	in	the	aging	caused	by	free
radicals	and	thus	a	reduction	in	cellular	damage.
21
This	is	a	whole	new	way	to	think	about	our	diet	and	the	role	green	vegetables
play	when	it	comes	to	our	beauty.	Besides	providing	us	with	an	abundance	of
vitamins,	minerals,	and	thousands	of	beauty-building	compounds,	according	to
this	research	consuming	green	vegetables	may	also	help	us	generate	energy
directly	from	the	sunlight!	This	further	shows	our	timeless	and	infinite
connection,	an	unbroken	continuum,	with	nature.	Greens	are	grown	in	nature
and	make	up	a	large	part	of	the	diets	of	our	close	genetic	relatives.	The	big
takeaway	here	is	the	reinforcement	of	what	we’ve	been	saying	all	along:	eat	close
to	nature	and	become	more	naturally	beautiful	and	have	more	beautiful,
natural	energy.Lunar	(
Moon)	Energy
Like	the	sun,	the	moon	and	her	cycles	have	an	impact	on	our	energy,	albeit	in
more	subtle	ways.	While	it’s	not	as	obvious	as	the	sunlight	that	grows	plants
and	has	a	visible	impact	on	our	skin,	the	moon,	another	larger	energetic	body
in	our	macrocosmic	orbit,	also	impacts	our	beauty.	Our	ancestors	were	more	in
tune	with	the	moon’s	waning	and	waxing	rhythms	and	observed	and	noted
them	to	create	timetables	for	tending	and	harvesting	crops	and	organizing
community	life.	The	planting	calendar	of	biodynamic	farming,	a	type	of
sustainable	organic	farming	practiced	globally	from
France	to
India	and
beyond,	considers	soil	fertility,	plant	growth,	and	livestock	care	as	a	set	of
ecologically	interrelated	tasks,
22
	and	is	synced	with	the	lunar	phases	of	the
moon.
23
There’s	been	some	documented	influence	of	the	moon	on	certain	animals,
such	as	the	body	weight	of	honeybees	that	peaks	during	a	new	moon.
24
Different	ancient	cultures,	verified	in	some	writings	from
Babylonia	and
Assyria,	have
connected	a	lunar	influence	on	humans.	It’s	recognized	that	the
tides	are	caused	by	the	gravitational	relationship	between	the	moon	and	the
earth,	known	as	the	tidal	force.	On	a	micro	level,	we	are	made	up	of	around	72
percent	water	and	might	experience	some	of	the	lunar	influence	from	this
larger	body	of	energy,	such	as	periods	of	feeling	more	expansive	and	energized
or	more	retracted	and	inward.
The	female	menstrual	cycle	and	the	complete	cycle	of	the	moon,	which	is
approximately	the	same	number	of	days,	has	caused	much	intrigue	over	the
years.
Ayurveda	believes	that	the	cycles	of	the	moon	and	the	tides	of	the	ocean
are	mysterious	and	powerful	ways	to	display	the	deep	connection	a	woman	has
to	nature.
Just	as	it	is	important	to	keep	your	waking	hours	closely	tied	to	the	sunrises
and	sunsets,	traditional	systems	worldwide	believe	that	there	is	power	in	syncing
up	your	activities	to	the	cycles	of	nature	such	as	the	moon	cycle.	Attuning	the
collective	natural	force	between	certain	activities	and	efforts	helps	us	live	more
in	harmony	with	nature.

FOODS RECIPES
Eating nourishing, organic meals is practicing good self-care. Your
food is your medicine, providing the optimum fuel for your
body. I encourage you to revise and improvise the recipes here
as you wish.
Recommended Kitchen T ools:
• Vitamix blender: Y ou can sometimes find these sold used or
refurbished.
• Juicer: I use a simple Breville fountain juicer.
• Hand-held vegetable chopper: I like the Chef ’n V eggiChop
Hand-Powered Food Chopper, but it has a limited capacity to
make portions for more than one person.
• Large soup pot
• Small bowl: I like to choose a pretty ceramic or wooden bowl to
eat my meals in, in a size that helps with portion control.
• Good paring knife: I use a simple W aring knife.
• Nut milk bag: This is optional but useful for those who want to
make homemade almond milk, etc.ST ARVING TO HEAL IN SIBERIA | 19

 are destroyed when the plant enzymes cause the vitamins to combine with
oxygen, thus inducing oxidation. Certain others are not
destroyed, but they are soluble in water and hence dissolved
out of the food. Vitamin D and some of the B complex
vitamins are lost in this manner. The amount of heat necessary to reduce the vitamin content of foods is not great.
Even the comparatively low application of heat as used in
pasteurization of milk destroys much of the vitamin A and
enou
gh (25 to 50 per cent ) of the vitamin C to eliminate the milk's antiscorbutic qualities. Of the B vitamin group, much
of the riboflavin, pantothenic acid, and pyridoxine, about half
of the inositol, and most of the folic acid and thiamine are lost
when foods are cooked in the usual manner. As is the case with minerals, the losses are less, though significant, if the
food is steamed. In all cases the less heat applied and the shorter the cooking time, the less is the total amount of loss.

P
ROTEINS AND FATS
   Cooking tends to coagulate the proteins of food and, with
the exception of egg white, render them less digestible. Some
of the sensitive amines are changed by heat, and others are
destroyed. Both the cystine and cysteine are so denatured in the presence of heat and water that, according to Ragner
Berg, they are "rendered valueless for nutritive purposes."
The most important of all protein components, lysine, is
destroyed by heat, as is the essential glutamine. Other protein
factors are transformed and modified to lower forms and
hence rendered less available to the body.
   Cooking decidedly alters the fat of food and usually renders
it less digestible. In the process of frying, the fat so permeates
the food and surrounds the individual food particles that they
do not readily yield to the action of digestive juices. For this reason foods which are fried in fat are very difficult to digest. If sufficiently high temperatures are used in cooking fats, free fatty acids develop which are not only difficult to digest, but
are in some cases definitely poisonous. When vegetable oils
undergo the process of boiling or frying the toxic irritant
known as acrolein is produced. In this connection it may be
pointed out that acrolein has often been described as a possible cause of cancer. Its name may be found in most
medical lists of possible dietary carcinogens.

T
ARS
   The formation of tars cannot be overlooked in considering
the chemical effects of cooking. Tars are found in smoke and
soot, and they form in any organic compound which is subjected to great heat over a sufficient period of time. Meat,
eggs, potatoes, toast, and other foods which are scorched by
heat until black forms on the outside may contain tar. Roasted
coffee and coffee substitutes derive their flavor from the tars
which form when the coffee beans or cereal grains are roasted.
    It has long been known that sufficient exposure to the tars
found in soot and smoke tends to cause cancer. The heavy
consumption of tars found in certain cooked foods may be no
less irritating and no less cancer-causing. Dr. Angel Roffo described the physical characteristics of tars obtained from
roasted coffee beans as the same as those obtained from
tobacco. He also found that both were carcinogenic when
given to experimental animals. Thus the consumption of tars
in certain roasted and over-heated foods ranks as a possible
cause of cancer and other diseases in modern life.

A
DDITIONAL CHEMICAL CHANGES
   Many food factors other than those already mentioned may
be impaired or lost in the presence of heat. Starch is partly
hydrolyzed by heat, and the soluble sugars and dextrin of
foods are polymerized to some extent. Peptic substances are
also affected and undergo dissolution during the cooking
process. The "anti-lameness" chemical of raw cream, discovered by Wulzen and Wagtendonk of Oregon State
College, is known to be destroyed by either boiling or
pasteurization. The "filtrate-f actor" of certain vegetables,
which controls the aging process of the body, is reported by
Morgan and Simms to be easily lost when vegetables are boiled. Certain hormones, including those from the adrenal
cortex, which have been successfully used in improving
animal health, are thermolabile and are destroyed at the
relatively moderate temperature used in pasteurizing milk.
Other activating substances which may exist in food but have not yet been chemically isolated and studied may or may not
undergo deterioration in the cooking process.
   It may be that simply altering the physico-chemical state of
food through the use of heat is sufficient to account for
certain adverse effects resulting from using the food. It is known that the toleration point of both minerals and vitamins
as are normally found in uncooked foods is much higher than
is the case when these nutritive factors are given in purified
form. The use of purified minerals and synthetic vitamins
shows this quite clearly. Minerals and vitamins must be found in an organic combination with other food nutrients if they
are to be used efficiently by the body. With rare exceptions
we must rely on the plant to synthesize the minerals of the
earth into combinations which are entirely non-toxic. Such
combinations remain non-toxic when transferred to the animal as milk, eggs, or flesh. However, in the presence of
heat certain nutrients are destroyed and hence the delicate
chemical balance is altered. It is known that in the case of
proteins the modification of the com plex structure renders some of the protein factors useless to the body. Even when
calcium is not lost in the presence of heat it is often rendered
less assimilable, as has often been pointed out by nutritionists
in connection with pasteurization of milk. It is hence possible that many other minerals, and perhaps vitamins and other
factors, may also be rendered either useless or toxic to the
body, as the complex chemical combinations are broken
down by heat.
   Evidence of this is seen by the fact that leukocytosis, an
increase in the number of white corpuscles of the blood,
follows the exclusive consumption of cooked foods. Biologists have called this "digestive leukocytosis" and
consider it a normal reaction to the digestive process.
However, Dr. Paul Kouchakoff, of the Institute of Clinical
Chemistry in Lausanne, Switzerland, conducted some 300
detailed experiments which indicated that leukocytosis was the specific effect of eating heat-processed foods and never
occurred after a meal of raw food. Reporting at the First
International Congress of Microbiology at Paris in 1930, Dr.
Kouchakoff pointed out that temporary leukocytosis followed
the consumption of foods heated about 83-87 degrees C. If certain types of raw food were added to the cooked meal,
leukocytosis would be prevented, though when foods were
heated above 100 degrees C., no amount of raw foods would
prevent the condition. Likewise, when heat-processed foods
which had also been subjected to complex manufacturing processes were consumed, leukocytosis was unavoidable. In
this case, not only did the white corpuscles increase in
number, but the correlation of numbers between the different
kinds of white corpuscles was altered.
   In medicine, an increase in the number of white corpuscles
in the blood, together with disturbances in the percentages of
different kinds of white corpuscles, is known to indicate that
some kind of disease process is going on in our body. In time
of infectious illness, or when harmful extraneous substances
are introduced into our system, these changes in white corpuscle development always take place. We have reason to
believe that the "digestive leukocytosis" following the
consumption of cooked food is indicative that chemicals or
chemical combinations in food may become toxic and
harmful under the influence of heat, with the degree of toxicity dependent upon the temperature at which the food is
cooked.
   The European nutritionist, Prof. Ziegelmayer, well
illustrates the total biochemical changes that heat produces in
food in these words: "It is certain that cooking alters the
colloidal state of food: it decom
poses hi ghly molecular compounds, it alters the structure and surface tension of
molecules, the degree of dispersity, the osmotic tension, the
degree of dilution, the course colloid molecular and dispersed
statuses, the water binding capacity and the hydrophobe qualities of the colloids, it alters the viscosity and reduces the
falling gradient of energy.... The uncooked state secures the
maintenance of some food substances, prevents alterations of
the proteins, preserves the original mineral salts in their
optimum concentration.... The more the food energies are maintained in their intimate compound and correlation, the
greater the total effect and the higher the efficiency. "
   It is clear that all heat-processed foods undergo important
changes in chemical composition. They lose a part of their
mineral and vitamin content; their proteins are partly
destroyed and rendered less di gestible and nutritious; their
fats become less digestible and assimilable and sometimes become toxic. The starches and sugars are altered to some
degree. The foods lose all of their enzymes, their "filtrate
factors" and "anti-lameness" chemicals; their

 root). Inflammation
is always acidic, so alkalize, alkalize and alkalize! Raw fruits and vegetables
are your best alkalizers. Sodium is called the “Great Alkalizer.”FACTS ABOUT DEHYDRATION
Acidosis leads to dehydration, and dehydration leads to acidosis.
Eating predominately cooked food leads to dehydration.
Dehydration leads to hypoactivity of tissue, eventually leading to tissue
death.

HEARTBURN

Heartburn is a result of acidosis of the stomach and intestinal tract. Wrong
food combinations cause fermentation and putrefaction, bringing on this
acidosis or over-acid condition. Eating too much acid-forming food also
creates heartburn. This is especially true in meat eaters where hydrochloric
acid is over-produced. Eating too many grain products and/or cooked
tomatoes can cause severe heartburn. A lack of pancreatic enzymes causes
poor digestion, which can also create heartburn and gas.
Poor production of sodium of bicarbonate from the pancreas, as well as
poor bile flow or production from the liver/gallbladder also causes acid
reflux. Many times, gallstones block the bile duct so that the bile flow is
restricted. Additionally, a weak sphincter muscle (like a door) between the
esophagus and stomach allows stomach acids to regurgitate back up the
esophagus yielding acid reflux.
The detoxification and regeneration program recommended in this book
does not cause heartburn. However, because the nature of raw foods is
“energy,” you may experience some stimulation of these conditions
temporarily.
Working with Heartburn During Detoxification
Ginger tea is excellent for heartburn. In this situation, food combinations
must be scrutinized. If improper eating, including improper food combining,
has occurred, an apple will help. Apples contain strong digestive enzymes
and will aid digestion greatly. You can also make a tea from other soothing
herbs: Chamomile flowers, Gentian Root, Slippery Elm Bark, or
Marshmallow Root to help heal the gastric walls. Alkalize, alkalize, alkalize!
It’s the only true way to health.LUNG CONGESTION

The lungs will attempt to clean themselves out of mucus and toxins. In
asthma, emphysema, and C.O.RD. (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
where the adrenal glands are also involved, tissue spasms can be a problem.
This can block or inhibit one’s ability to breathe. This is when an herbal
antispasmodic is invaluable. It will stop the spasms, but allow your lungs to
expectorate the congestion.
If one really wants to cure lung condition and he or she is using an
inhaler, success will be moderate. I recommend the use of an herbal
antispasmodic in place of an inhaler. However, if you are advanced in your
condition, you may need to use your inhaler periodically. Some people are on
four or more different inhalers, which is potentially a very dangerous
situation. Some current research has even indicated that inhalers may be
carcinogenic.
The main problem with inhalers is their lymphatic-inhibiting properties.
They not only dilate your breathing passages, but they do so by inhibiting
expectoration. On the other hand, herbal antispasmodics dilate and allow for
proper breathing, but they also allow for expectoration. Expectoration is the
removal or elimination of congestion within the tissues of the lungs. This is
vital for greater oxygen exchange. Many herbs, like Comfrey Root,
Chickweed, Marshmallow Root and Yerba Santa Leaf, can help rebuild lung
tissue.
Chronic asthmatics and those who have chronic lung problems must be
careful as they approach detoxification. Better to start out with
70 percent raw
foods and 30 percent cooked, which will allow cleansing to proceed slowly
and gently.

Remember your adrenal glands. They play a vital role in why your lungs
spasm. Underactive adrenal glands can create low neurotransmitterproduction, which weakens the nervous system to the lungs. This can result
in sensitivity and irritability of the nervous system. Add to this a
hypofunction of the thyroid, which causes low calcium utilization, and you
have spastic conditions of your tissues. Clean your lungs out. Enhance the
function of your adrenal glands, and check the basal temperatures of your
body to determine thyroid involvement (calcium utilization). It is highly
suggested that a health care professional closely monitor this process in
advanced lung conditions.
Working with Asthma and Lung Congestion During Detoxification
Asthmatics and people with lung congestion may use a castor oil pack with
hot cayenne compresses placed over the lung area on the chest. (Directions
for making and administering a castor oil pack are given in
Chapter 10
.)
Drinking a cup of Peppermint tea followed every ten minutes with a teaspoon
of the tincture of Lobelia (up to 6 teaspoons). Lobelia is an antispasmodic at
low doses and an emetic at higher doses. This might induce vomiting in some
individuals. Vomiting will compress the lungs and expel the phlegm.
Alternating hot and cold compresses are also good—apply a hot
compress for 2 minutes, followed by cold compress for 2 minutes, then
another round or two of each. You may wish to use an antispasmodic herbal
formula. This will control the spasms allowing you to breathe and to
expectorate the mucus.
LOSS OF ENERGY OR EXHAUSTION

As stored toxins are broken up and released from the tissues into the blood
system, the side effects of that particular toxin or poison may be re-
experienced. Generally speaking, the older the individual, the greater the
accumulated toxins. Glandular weaknesses, lowered immune system
functioning, unhappiness, chronic lung involvement, thyroid and adrenal
weakness, and malabsorption are all factors that can cause serious energy
loss. Sugar imbalances can also cause energy changes. More rest is needed at
different times, especially when all stimulants (like coffee, tea, and refined
sugars) are removed from the diet.
We are a society that relies on stimulants for energy. This eventually
weakens our true energy centers, the glands. When we stop our intake ofstimulants, we can experience a whiplash effect and feel quite fatigued. This
will soon pass with the ingestion of living foods and juices. It is important to
understand that the S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) is weakening your
physical body, not strengthening it. Those foods create a lot of inflammation
and toxicity in tissues. When you add stimulation to this package you can
begin to see why we develop tissue failure.
Most cases of “Chronic Fatigue Syndrome”
are not
 the Epstein-Barr
virus. This virus can cause fatigue. However, it is an easy virus to kill. (If, in
fact, a virus is an organism. Because viruses are so small, an electron
microscope must be used to see them. “Viruses” are considered by many
scientists to be more of a protein, which involves an immune response,
instead of a single-celled living organism, like bacteria.)
The real cause of so much fatigue in our society is thyroid and adrenal
weaknesses. When these two endocrine glands are weak, the results can be
fatigue, depression and anxiety. These glands must be regenerated if you
truly wish to overcome chronic fatigue. This will not happen overnight, but if
you persist you will be successful. A raw food diet and herbal formulas are
the secret.
Working with Lack of Energy or Fatigue During Detox
The stoppage of all stimulating foods can cause a large energy loss. This is
especially true if a person has hypoactive thyroid or adrenal glands. These are
your energy glands, which become weakened from acidosis and toxicity.
Stimulating foods actually have a negative effect on these glands making
them weaker instead of stronger. The constant stimulation from coffee, tea,
etc., hides this fact from you. Most of our energy throughout our lives comes
from stimulated cellular activity.
Energy should be dynamic, not stimulated. Drinking 3–6,10-ounce
glasses of carrot, spinach and celery juice per day will help increase energy
levels. Eating as much fresh, ripe fruit as possible will help. Panax Ginseng
extract, Royal Jelly, Alfalfa, Barley Green Complex, and/or a well-balanced
super-food complex, will also aid in increasing energy levels. (See the
Resource Guide for where to find the finest super-food blends.) Rest and time
are also great healers.
SWELLING AND ITCHING
There can be many swellings that erupt from the skin during detox. Tumors
can even become larger before they are dissolved. Most swellings are short-
lived, however, so it is important to keep up the fruit during these times.
Itching is another factor in detoxification. This is mostly caused by a
fungal or Candida involvement. An individual can develop itching and
redness of the skin anywhere.
Remedies for Itching During Detoxification
Angelica Root, Aloe Vera, or Chickweed applied topically can ease the
itching. If itching continues, the fungal infestation needs to be killed and the
lymph they live in must be cleaned. This requires herbal lymphatic and
parasite formulas and a raw food diet.

where  you  might  see and  know  all the Perfection  which
exists;  all that  is before  you,  one  day  you  will  \now  and
share.  Be so firm  and  determined,  Beloved  Ones,  in your
Call to the Presence.  Don't  just  look  for Results;  but go on,
and on, in your  Call,  as though  you  had  everything  in the
world  which  you  needed;  and  just loved  your  Presence  and
loved  to call It into  action.  Such  is the need  of the outer  self
which  wins  the Mighty  Victory.
Suppose  your  outer  need  is great!  So long  as your  atten-
tion is on it, how  can it be dissolved ? That  is what  is the
matter,  your  attention  has been  too much  on the condition,
instead  of the Presence  which  dissolves  it. As you  become
aware  of this  just as if you  broke  the chains,  say:  " 'Mighty
I AM  Presence'!  I am not going  to get in the way  any more!
Everything  is in Your  Hands!  Take  command  of my mind 167 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
and body  and  of my world."  If it is one whom  you  want  to
help,  say:  "'Mighty  I AM  Presence!'  Take  command  of
that mind  and  body  and  his or her world!  Produce  Your
Perfection  and  hold  Your  Dominion!  Sweep  Your  Mighty
Currents  in and  thru  the body;  and  out into  the world  of
the Individual;  see that  one  does  the Right  and  Perfect
thing,  for his or her Success  and  Accomplishment."
Don't  yield  to appearances,  Beloved  Ones!  They  have  no
power,  except  what  you  give  them;  and  as you  come  to
realize  and  feel  the Fulness  of the Authority  and  Power
which  is yours;  you  will  find  not a single  thing  stands  in
your  way;  not a single  delay  will  come  in your  application,
for the Results  which  you  require.  If it is some  emergency,
then  the Greater  Release  of the Power  will  go into  action,
to fulfill  the Requirement  of the emergency.
Do you  know  with  the Presence  there  are no emergen-
cies;  because  your  Higher  Mental  Body  knows  far ahead;
and as you  become  still  and  call  to the Presence,  you  will
come  to know  these  things  ahead;  just  the same  as your
Higher  Mental  Body  does.  It is not that  you  cannot  know
them;  but because  of the density  of the vibratory  action  of
the structure  of your  brain  and  body;  they  do not record
the finer  vibrations,  which  would  reveal  to you these  things,
you would  so often  like  to know.  This  is the practical  man-
ner of governing  your  world,  and  that  is what  Attainment
means!  It is what  being  still  in the outer  means.
Your  human  vibratory  action  must  be still,  if you  want
to have  clear  definite  results,  in your  call  to the Presence. DISCOURSE  VIII  145
Suppose  you  needed  Additional  Understanding,  Knowl-
edge  or Directing  Intelligence  for a given  objective.  Your
Presence  and  your  Higher  Mental  Body  already  know  what
it is you  require;  and  if your  outer  were  still  enough  and
your  brain  structure  vibrating  rapidly  enough;  you  would
know  clearly,  definitely  and  instantly,  everything  you  re-
quire;  not only  today,  but days  and  weeks  ahead.
This  comes  to the important  point,  Beloved  Ones—where
the need  of mankind  is, sufficient  obedience  to the Law  of
your  Life.  It brings  about  the Freedom  and  Attunement  of
your  brain  structure;  wherein,  you  can  receive  from  your
Higher  Mental  Body,  the Clear  Definite  Direction!  Some-
times,  the Beloved  Students  jump  at conclusions,  and  when
it is still  their  own  human  desire  acting,  they  feel  it is the
Presence.  Then,  they  find  they  have  made  mistakes;  but in
such  instances,  they  should  not be discouraged.
So many  times  Students  have  felt they  were  in connection
with  Saint  Germain  and  really  were  not!  I urge  you  to be
very  discriminating.  Don't  be in a hurry,  in your  Call  to
the Presence.  When  you  begin  to receive  Definite  Powerful
Direction,  you  will  know  It clearly  and  surely;  but  don't
jump  at any conclusion!  Wait  until  you  are sure.  If Beloved
Saint  Germain  communicates  with  you,  there  will  be no
uncertainty  about  it, be sure  of that!  Don't  accept  someone's
communication  claiming  to be Saint  Germain.  Be sure  it is
Him.
We have  had  many  instances  to correct  in that  respect.
So be careful!  It is not going  to delay  your  Freedom,  to 146 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
wait  and  demand  to know  unmistakably.  Not  at all, and
may  hasten  it tremendously!  One  blessed  lady,  when  the
Messengers  were  in Portland,  believed  as firmly  as she lived,
that she  had  been  receiving  communications  from  Saint
Germain.  The  Messenger  knew  instantly  she had  not.  He
waited

When I was


 or     happy.Now calculate two totals—all your points from the left column and all those
from the right. In evaluating your score, we will consider the left-hand
column male and the right-hand female.
If you ar e a woman  your score from the right-hand column will tend to be
more than that from the left-hand. If you ar e a man  your score from  the left-
hand column will tend to be more than that from the right -hand. This
difference alone can cause conflict in a relationship. We were all shaped by
society to expect security from dif ferent sources.
Men tend to find security in power, career, skills, information,
intelligence, winning, and physical strength. Women tend to find security in
family, a strong mate, sharing, communication, their own emotions, and
being loved.
If you have more than five answers from the column that is not your
gender, you are likely to be able to define your needs without reference to
society’ s standa rds. If you have  more than eight answers from  the right-
hand column, your feminine nature is quite strong. Man or woman, you put
a great emphasis on your emotions and sense of well-being. Self-
understanding is one of your highest values; you put your own fulfillment
ahead of external motivations.
Now compare your score with your partner ’s. There is no right or wrong
match here, but your scores say a lot about the dynamic of your
relationship. A marriage in whic h the woman scores high on the male while
the man scores high on the female often implies an exchange of social
models. The woman is driven by success and the man by emotion. If both
partners score high on the same column, they share a similar view of the
world, but the balancing half may be lacking. A marriage that is very male
or very female can be a happy one, but in times of stress the predominance
of one worldview may make it difficult to find the coping skills to pull
through. For example, if both partners are so emotional that no family
decisions can be made without much drama and little concession to reason,
strains will develop.
Finally, if the man is very male (ten or more) and the wom an very
female, this may indicate a conflict of values and therefore a conflict of
needs. A strongly masculine man mated to a strongly feminin e woman is
held up as a social ideal, but in reality, if the man is motivated by power and
status while the woman is motivated by emotions and communication,equality is difficult to sustain in the marriage. You are on two different
paths, not a shared path. One way or another the weaker partner will wind
up giving in to the stronger, or one of you will repress your true needs in
hopes that you will find happiness through sacrifice.
This rarely if ever works. Giving in to another person’ s needs is actually
a form of attachment. Having thrown away your own desires, you will be
forced to cling to the other person to bring you satisfaction. This is a form
of separation from your true identity, and in the end you cannot hope to use
separation of any kind to reach unity.
Now that I have  said all this, what can you do? You need to recognize
imbalances where they exist and take responsibility for them. A man who
has many female needs shouldn’ t rely on his wife to make all the decisions,
while a woman with strong male needs shouldn’ t ignore her partner ’s
emotions. The object is to find the balance of male and female within you
rather than take the easy road, which is to attach yourself to someone else’s
strengths as a compensation for your weaknesses. We will now examine
how this dynamic can change.
PART TWO
Satisfying inner  need has to go deeper than what society or your ego tells
you will suf fice. T o be in separation is by definition to be insecure.
Inner need must be faced befor e you can feel secur e.
To be aware of inner need is healthy, to deny inner need is unhealthy.
Everyone brings needs to a relationship, and admitting this makes it more
honest. Nevertheless, inner need can become so great that it distorts your
view of yourself. A person dominated by neediness will tend to have
recurring thoughts like these:
I’m not smart enough.
I’m not beautiful enough.
I’m not desirable enough.
I’m not lovable enough.
I never do the right thing.
Something’ s wrong with me.
I’m not as good as X.Whatever is happening to trigger these beliefs, and no matter how
convinced you are by them, they are totally false. In the light of spirit you
are wholeness and therefore lack for nothing. You are love and therefore
must be lovable and desirable. You are unique and therefore cannot be
compared with anyone else.
In the eyes of spirit you ar e always enough.
A relationship should constantl y reinforce the belief that both partners
are enough, that fulfillment lies within by its very nature. “I am” is the
primal feeling of existence, and within “I am” there is total peace and
security. More often than not, however, relationships are unbalanced. One
partner feels much more insecur ity, much more inner need. This imbalance
is tested in the following questionnaire:
Answering as honestly as you can, which of the following statements
apply to you?
In my marriage, I’m the one who
1. Feels more unhappy if left alone at night.
2. Has a harder time making decisions.
3. Asks for help more often.
4. Has more fears about not being loved.
5. Would feel more guilty if I had an af fair.
6. Goes along with plans after they are made.
7. Hates to ar gue.
8. Asks “How are you feeling?” more often.
9. Keeps the family together.
10. Wishes that everybody would come to the dinner table instead of
watching TV.
11. Can’ t help but show how I feel.
12. Writes all the Christmas cards.
13. Tries harder not to hurt other people’ s feelings.
14. Would rather cooperate than raise disagreements.
15. Would believe a doctor ’s opinion.
16. Has a harder time standing up for myself.
17. Suffers in silence.18. Needs a good provider.
19. Wishes everybody would just be nice at Thanksgiving.
20. Won’t call a friend on the carpet, no matter what.
21. Has a harder time asking for a raise.
22. Is more willing to do volunteer work.
Give yourself one point for each answer that applies to you. Now tally your
score.
15–22 points.  You have a deep streak of dependency and seek your security
through a stronger mate. You would have a hard time agreeing with the
statement “I am enough,” because you identify with family so much.
Claiming power  in your relationship frightens you—you equate doing this
with losing love. Y ou are also more likely to be a woman than a man.
8–14 points.  You are comf ortable giving away some power in your
relationship in order to feel secure. The statement “I am enough” sounds
possible to believe but perhaps not that important. Meeting your inner needs
on your own isn’t something you’ve consciously set out to do except in a
limited way. Two can live more strongly than one is still your motto. Most
people fall into this category, although many men would give themselves a
lower score than their wives would.
0–7 points.  Your sense of relationship is based on ego and control. You
prefer the notion that you are the strong one in your marriage over the
possibility that you are actually the selfish one. To you, “I am enough”
means “I get what I want.” If, by contrast, you know yourself well enough
that this descrip tion doesn’ t fit, you are among the rarest of people: you
have taken complete responsibility for your inner needs and have worked to
fulfill them without attachmen t to another person. “I am enough” is a
spiritual credo you have learned to live by after years of raising your own
consciousness.
PART THREE
We are now at the level of inner need where the spiritual concept of “I am
enough” is truly critical; as long as you dwell on more superficial levels ofneed, as long as you lean on a stronger person to carry you through, the
anxiety of separation is disguise d—and that may be what you need for the
moment. It takes real spiritual commitment to expose the wounds of
separation hidden in the unconscious.
If you look deep enough these wounds show up as black holes in your
sense of self. Like black holes in space, which suck energy out of the
universe, the psyche’ s black holes suck out your confidence, your sense of
worth, your certainty that you can survive. When you approach just a small
one of these holes, you can expe rience a drastic range of sensatio ns, none of
them pleasant. Mild uneasiness and disembodiedness give way to
nervousness, dizziness, nausea, vertigo, anxiety, panic, terror, and dread,
depending upon  how close you come to the black hole. Sometimes there
seems to be a hole in your chest  or abdomen, or a suffocating pressure, as if
all the air was being sucked out of your lungs.
Terrible as these feelings are, they have no spiritual reality; they are
conditioned reactions. Stored-up fear magnifies the experience of a


. What -ever
you fear has its solution in the form of your desire. If you are sick, you
desire health. If you are in the prison of fear, you desire freedom.
Expect the good. Mentally con-centrate on the good, and know that
your subconscious mind answers you always. It never fails.
13. The things you fear do not really exist except as thoughts in your
mind. Thoughts are creative. This is why Job said; the thing I feared
has come upon me. Think good and good follows.
14. Look at your fears; hold them up to the light of reason. Learn t o
laugh at your fears. That is the best medicine.
15. Nothing can disturb you but your own thought. The sug-
gestions, statements, or threats of other persons have no power. The
power is within you, and when your thoughts are focused on that
which is good, then God’s power is with your thoughts of good. There
is only one Creative Power, and It moves as harmony. There ar e no
divisions  of quarrels in it. Its source is Love. This is why God’s
power is with your thoughts of good.

How to Stay Young in Spirit Forever
Your subconscious mind never grows old. It is timeless, ageless,
and endless. It is a part of the universal mind of God, which was  never
born, and it will never die.
Fatigue or old age cannot be predicated on any spiritual quality  or
power. Patience, kindness, veracity, humility, good will, peace,
harmony, and brotherly love are attributes and qualities, whic h never
grow old. If you continue to generate these qualities here on thi s plane
of life, you will always remain young in spirit.
I remember reading an article in one of our magazines some years
ago, which stated that a group of eminent medical men at the D e
Courcy Clinic, in Cincinnati, Ohio, reported that years alone are no t
responsible for bringing about degenerative disorders. These sa me
physicians stated that it is the fear of time, not time i tself, that has a
harmful aging effect on our minds and bodies, and that the neurotic
fear of the effects of time may well be the cause of premat ure aging.
During the many years of my public life, I have had oc-casion to
study the biographies of the famous men and women who have
continued their productive activities into the years well be yond the
normal span of  life.
Some of them achieve their greatness in old age. At the same  time,
it has been my privilege to meet and to know countless individual s of
no prominence who, in their lesser sphere, belonged to those hardy
mortals who have proved that old age of itself does not destroy t he
creative powers of the mind and body.
• He had grown old in his thought life
A few years ago I called on an old friend in London, Eng-land. He
was over 80 years of age, very ill, and obviously was yieldi ng to his
advancing years. Our conversation revealed his physical weaknes s, his
 210  sense of frustration, and a general deterioration almost approach ing
lifelessness. His cry was that he was useless and that no one wanted
him. With an expression of hopelessness he betrayed his false
philosophy, “We are born, grow up, become old, good for nothing,
and that’s the end.”
This mental attitude of futility and worthlessness was the chief
reason for his sickness. He was looking forward only to senesce nce,
and after that—nothing. Indeed, he had grown old in his thought life,
and his subconscious mind brought about all the evidence of his
habitual thinking.
• Age is the dawn of wisdom
Unfortunately, many people have the same attitude as this unhappy
man. They are afraid of what they term “old age,” the end, and
extinction, which really means that they are afraid of life. Yet, life is
endless. Age is not the flight of years, but the dawn of wisdom.
Wisdom is an awareness of the tremendous spiritual powers in your
subconscious mind and the knowledge of how to apply these powers
to lead a full and happy life. Get it out of your head once and for  all
that 65, 75, or 85 years of age is synonymous with the end for you or
anybody else. It can be the beginning of a glorious, fruitful, active,
and most productive life pattern, better than you have ever
experienced. Believe this, expect it, and your subconscious  will bring
it to pass.
• Welcome the change
Old age is not a tragic occurrence. What we call the aging process is
really change. It is to be welcomed joyfully and gladly as eac h phase
of human life is a step forward on the path, which has no end. Man
has powers, which transcend his bodily powers. He has senses, whi ch
transcend his five physical senses.
Scientists today are finding positive indisputable evidence that
something conscious in man can leave his present body and trave l
 211  thousands of miles to see, hear, touch, and speak to peo-ple even
though his physical body never leaves the couch on which it reclines.
Man’s life is spiritual and eternal. He need never grow old for  Life,
or God, cannot grow old. The Bible says that God is Life. Life is self-
renewing, eternal, indestructible, and is the reality of all men.
• Evidence for survival
The evidence gathered by the psychical research societies both in
Great Britain and America is overwhelming. You may go into any
large metropolitan library and get volumes on The Proceedings of the
Psychical Research Society based on findings of distinguished
scientists on survival following so-called death. You will find a
startling report on scientific experiments es-tablishing t he reality of
life after death in The Case for Psychic Survival by Hereward
Carrington, Directorof the American Psychical Institute.
• Life is
A woman asked Thomas Edison, the electrical wizard, “Mr. Edison,
what is electricity?”
He replied, “Madame, electricity is. Use it.”
Electricity is a name we give an invisible power which we  do not
fully comprehend, but we learn all we can about the principle o f
electricity and its uses. We use it in countless ways.
The scientist cannot see an electron with his eyes, yet he accepts it
as a scientific fact, because it is the only valid con-c lusion, which
coincides with his other experimental evidence. We cannot see  life.
However, we know we are alive. Life is, and we are here to e xpress it
in all its beauty and glory.
• Mind and spirit do not grow old
The Bible says, and this is life eternal, that they might know thee the
only true God. JOHN 17:3.
 212  The man who thinks or believes that the earthly cycle of bi rth,
adolescence, youth, maturity, and old age is all there is to life, is
indeed to be pitied. Such a man has no anchor, no hope, no vision, and
to him life has no meaning.
This type of belief brings frustration, stagnation, cynicism, a nd a
sense of hopelessness resulting in neurosis and mental aber-r ations of
all kinds. If you cannot play a fast game of tennis, or swim a s fast as
your son, or if your body has slowed down, or you walk with a slow
step, remember life is always clothing itself anew. What  men call
death is but a journey to a new city in another dimension of Life.
I say to men and women in my lectures that they should accept wha t
we call old age gracefully. Age has its’ own glory, beauty, and
wisdom, which belong to it. Peace, love, joy, beauty, happiness,
wisdom, good will, and understanding are qualities, which never gr ow
old or die.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, poet and philosopher, said, “We do not
count a man’s years until he has nothing else to count.”
Your character, the quality of your mind, your faith, and your
convictions are not subject to decay.
• You are as young as you think you are
I give public lectures in Caxton Hall, London, England, every few
years, and following one of these lectures, a surgeon said to me, “I am
84 years of age. I operate every morning, visit patients in  the
afternoons, and I write for medical and other scientific journals  in the
evening.”
His attitude was that he was as useful as he believed h im-self to be,
and that he was as young as his thoughts. He said to me, “It’s tr ue
what you said, ‘Man is as strong as he thinks he is, and as valua ble as
he thinks he is.’”
This surgeon has not surrendered to advancing years. He knows that
he is immortal. His final comment to me was, “If I should pass  on
 213  tomorrow, I would be operating on people in the next dimension, not
with a surgeon’s scalpel, but with mental and spiritual surgery.”

PHOTOGRAPHIC DOCUMENTARY
On the following pages you will observe t he very unusual results we have obtained from the Ultimate Tissue Cleansing Program.
Please note that these specimens are not all from the same body, but represent the flushings from several individuals. If a
photograph was ever worth a thousand words, sur ely these are, for they speak for themselves. I have not experienced any other
method that can consistently and as thoroughly match this one in results. This is truly a major step forward in the battle to
overcome toxemia and autointoxication.
On the first  three pages you will see the results of the 7 -Day Cleansing Program as it reversed a stubborn case of ulcerated feet and
ankles. For more details, please refer to page 112, Chapter 9, Patient 1 in our case histories.
On all three pages, the first photo wa s taken on Day 1 of the treatment; the second photo was taken on Day 4; and the third photo
was taken on Day 7 of the cleansing program. The results are remarkable.
On the following pages, you will witness the shocking effluence as it was gathered from the  colema flushing. Who would guess
that such things could accumulate inside the human body? Could this substance be the source of disease, illness and poor heal th?
This accumulated material ranged from jelly -like to hard as truck tire rubber; clear to black  as tar; fresh to morbidly old; fragments
to 3- and 4 -foot long ropes, and all with the odor that only speaks of very rotten things. Notice the mucus lining taking the shape of
the bowel, complete with haustrations, striations, strictures and diverticula. This is truly an amazing phenomenon. Please note that
these specimens are not all from the same body, but represent the flushings from several individuals.

DINNER. Raw salad, two cooked vegetables, one protein and a broth or health drink if desired. Cooked vegetables: peas,
artichokes, carrots, beets, turnips, spinach, beet tops, string beans, swiss chard, eggplant, zucchini, summer squash, brocco li (s),
cauliflower (s), cabbage (s), spro uts (s), onions (s) or any vegetable other than potatoes, (s - denotes sulfur foods.)
DRINKS. Vegetable broth, soup or health beverage.
PROTEINS
Once a Week: Fish -use white fish, such as sole, halibut, trout or sea trout. Vegetarians: Use soybeans, lima b eans, cottage cheese,
sunflower seeds and other seeds, also seed butters, nut butters, nut milk drinks, eggs.
Twice a Week: Cottage cheese or any cheese that breaks.
Three times a Week: Meat —use only lean meat; never use pork, fats or cured meats.
Vegetari ans: Use meat substitutes or vegetarian proteins.
Once a Week: Egg omelet.
If you have a protein at dinner, health dessert is allowed, but not recommended. Never eat protein and starches together. (No tice
how they are separated.)
You may exchange your noon  meal for the evening meal, but follow the same regimen. It takes exercise to handle raw food, and
we generally get more after our noon meal. That is why a raw salad is advised at noon. If you eat sandwiches, have vegetables  at
the same time.

THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
The immune system is made up of a system of specialized tissues, cells and antibodies, in addition to that aspect of immunity that
we think of as represented by healthy, chemically -balanced organs, glands and tissues in a body with active, clean elimination
channels. External to the body, the skin is our first line of defense against toxins, germlife and viruses. Tears in the eyes and skin
perspiration have bacteriocidal properties. Internally, mucous membranes


. 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."  World-wide Case Histories of Urine Therapy by Gary Ward  155 OVERDOSE  “There was a person who illegally dealt in opium. This was disliked by his wife, and she always asked her husband to give up his illegal profession. But he would not listen. Finally the wife became desperate. In the absence of her husband, she took nearly 30grams of opium, dissolved it in water and drank it down. Consequently she fainted within half an hour. As soon as her husband returned home, he was at once very startled. Evening was approaching as he began to give his wife urine orally. This continued through the night, and in the morning she came to her senses. Her life was saved.”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn  ************************************ P ************************************ PARALYSIS  “My greatest achievement in the field of auto-urine therapy can be the miraculous recovery of my elder sister. She was bed-ridden for three months. Not to talk of getting up from bed she could not even,move her body below waist. Her left leg was slowly losing its tone. Even touching her affected part would give excruciating pain. Some bedsores also had erupted. In this condition I massaged her for two or three hours daily with urine, occasionally. even with fresh urine. Giving up all medication she was given her urine twice or thrice daily. Within a fortnight she was half way through recovery and by the end of the month she could get up and move. Today she is fully recovered. lt is now only four months since she began her treatment. Her left leg which was getting thinner Mas regained its natural tonal shape and is fully healthy.”  from Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  PARALYSIS  “Shri Pritam Singh works in Gandhi Ashram, Hapur (Dist. Merath). His right arm was paralysed and the neck had turned to his left. Both the parts pained. A month’s allopathic treatment proved futile. Chaudhri Nekiram, the Ashram Manager, advised him to try urine treatment. After 15 days of thrice or four times in take of urine and its massage in the sun her was completely relieved of both his complaints.”  from Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  156 PARALYSIS  “A male patient, age 60, was treating his paralysis with Urine Therapy. His treatment included daily rubbings with urine, which included his head. After he was cured of paralysis, his hair was no longer gray, but instead returned to its original color.”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn  PARASITES  Mr. M. New York "I am a PWA. My major problem was parasites. My stool sample contained pus, large amounts of yeast and several parasites. My last test came back totally clear. No more pus and no more parasites!"  World-wide Case Histories of Urine Therapy by Gary Ward  PENIS INFLAMMATION  “A strange case came to doctor Maganlal Salaria. The patient Natha Kesarji is 35 and belongs to Pavaiya class. When 21 years old, excision was performed on his penis. This resulted in obstruction in urination. There was great inflammation in the passage of urine and he had to be admitted to the Civil Hospital. Medical efforts made the patient almost dead with pain. At last some person acquainted with Doctor Salaria, sent him to the latter's clinic. On 5-12-59 he was admitted there. An examination of the doctor revealed that the passage of urine was totally blocked due to high inflammation. Anyhow Doctor Salana decided to have a trial with urine cure before operation.  Doctor Salaria gave his own urine to the patient three times up to 11 p.m. in the night. At 2:30 a.m. in the night he visited the patient and was surprised at what he saw. The patient was enjoying a sound sleep and his bed was drenched with his own unne.   Urination continued but the patient was not at all aware of it. When he awoke, he felt great comfort. After that, he was made to drink his own urine. Such is the miraculous power of urine. Natha Kesaraji was cured within a couple of days and with a smiling face he returned home after thanking doctor Salaria.”  Manav Mootra by R.M. Patel  POISON  157 “The Ahmedabad Municipality had started killing stray dogs by poisoning. Unfortunately, a young boy's dog also got involved in that by chance. Consequently, he too was poisoned. As he came staggering home, the boy's father suspected that he had been poisoned. Immediately he made him drink a glassful of urine. Within a short time, the effects of the poison had disappeared.”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn  PHYSICAL DISABILITY  “Shri Chandrashankar Purani (Rama & Sons Watch House, Ravpura Road, Baroda) experienced disability. He felt exhaustion by walking a few steps, had indigestion and felt despair in life. He had constipation too. He took to urine treatment and he got rid of all his troubles and disability too and regained youth as it were.”  Manav Mootra by R.M. Patel  PILES  “I was suffering from bleeding piles. My condition was gradually deteriorating due to this disease. I was growing weak, had giddiness, would feed darkness and faint. Several indigenous remedies v!ere tried. I was opposed to an operation. Fate intervened and I was shown the book Arogyaka Amulya sadhan : shivambu - swamutra. I read it and steeled myself and gulped down a full glass of my early morning urine resolutely. For the whole day I was on nerves. I took onry kedgeree (khichri) and milk that day. In the evening I had clear motions without bleeding or pain. With one glass of urine I was instantly cured of the four-year-old complaint. With a week's urine treatment the chronic ailment was totally uprooted.  Daily on waking up, I have replaced my urine for the celebrated cup that cheers: tea. When I miss my morning glass of urine I feel restless throughout the day. By urine massage, my complexion has become radiant and colour has brightened. A few of my acquintances also have become devoted to this therapy.”  from Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  PILES  “S. Tribedi cured his major and minor troubles by Urine Therapy. He cured his piles, got rid of his glasses and nocturnal discharge by drinking urine and urine massages for one month. He is now perfectly healthy even at 70.” 158  Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn  PILES  “Kantilal Shah had chronic constipation and he suffered for a long time. It soon resulted in piles. The soft anus core scratches and there was unbearable pain and burning. He started Urine Therapy by rubbing his body, but he was so allergic that it resulted in nettle-rash. On advice, he stopped rubbing with urine and began taking it  orally twice or three times daily. He did accordingly and got rid of the problem within a week, Nettle-rash still troubled him, so he continued the treatment, and ultimately the constipation was removed and the nettle-rash cured. His allergic condition was also eliminated. In the case of bleeding piles, bleeding stops if a piece of cloth soaked in urine is kept on the piles regularly.”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn  PROSTATE “Andrew Douglass, 60, had prostate problems and 10 specialists had recommended surgery as the only means to alleviate the problem. Although the chance of impotence was slim, he still chose to try alternatives before submitting to surgery. There was also the emotional problem of an orgasm without ejaculation as a side effect of the operation. He was advised to apply rectal implants using pure urine every  day along with the ultimate universal remedy. At the time, he used a douche bag like the one women use.   Two months later, he visited all the specialists who examined him before and they were all shocked to find him recovering without surgery or medication. His doctors wanted to know how he did it, yet he was reluctant to reveal the protocol followed. But, knowing that they would never reveal the information to other people, he told them how he used his urine. Of course, they did not believe that urine could be so effective, but Douglas gradually recuperated and a year later had no more problems. He enjoyed seeing the doctors so baffled.”  Uropathy by Martin J. Lara  PROSTATE  Mr. Aristeo Olive "I suffer from prostate. It is not possible to be operated on at the age of 85 years. l have done several tests and I have had consultation with some doctors. My daughter, Maria 159 Olive, who attended a conference, insisted on me taking Urine- therapy, which she did herself.   I started to take it and at first and it gave me diarrhea. I continued with the therapy and I
