After the release of The Secr et  in  2006, my life became what I
can only  describe as a dream life. Through practicing The
Secr et  principles religiously, my mind had become
predominantly positive, and so my life reflected that positive
state in my happiness, health, relationships, and finances. I
also found myself with a natural love and gratitude for
everything in life. But desp ite all of that, somethin g inside me continued to ur ge
me on to seek more of the trut h; something propelled me to
continue my search, though for what, I didn’ t yet know. Unbeknownst to me at the tim e, I had begun what was to
become a ten-year journey. It started with studying the
teachings of an ancient tradition in Europe, the Rose Cross
Order, a nd I studied their profou nd teachings for many years. I
also spe nt some years studying Buddhism, the many works of
the Chr istian mystics, theolo gy, Hinduism, T aoism, and
Sufism. After I studied the ancient traditions and their
historical teachings, my search turned back toward the present
time, and I started following recent teachers like J. Krishnamurti, R obert Adams, Lester Levenson, and Ramana
Maharshi, as well as some teachers still living today. Throughout my journey I learned many things that are
unknown to the public at lar ge, and while they were
fascinating, none of them made me feel that I had found the
truth. As t he years pas sed by, I even considered that searching might
be m y life fore vermore. I didn’ t realize it then, but I was
looking for the truth in the world, when all along it was closer
to me than I could ever have imagined. T en yea rs after my search began, in early January of 2016, a
challenging situation arose in my life that caused me to feel
deep dis appointment. I was surprised at the depth of negative
emotion that I felt. How could I feel so bad when I usually felt
so g ood. But that disappointing situation was to become the
greatest gift in my search for the truth. T o turn my disappointment around, I grabbed my iPad and
watched an interview on Cons cious TV with a man called
David Bingham. At the time of the interview David was not a
teacher but was just an ordinary  everyday person like you and
me, with one d if ference: after twenty years of searching, he
had discovered the truth. I w atche d the interview, and aft erward I listened to a podcast
that David recommended. I listened intently to the podcast,
and during it I heard that most people overlook this discovery
—not because it’ s dif ficult, but because it’ s so simple. Then, I
was able  to speak with David on the phone, and during our
conversation he said, “Look at w hat I’m pointing to. It’ s right
here. ” A nd suddenly I saw wha t I had been searching for. It
was  so simple, and it was  right here. Just like that—after ten
years—my searc h ended. I can say without any hesitation that
the happiness and joy I felt from this discovery was worth
every se cond of my years-long journey. Even if it had taken
my entire life to discover it, it would have been worth it. In th e en d, just one simple discovery was the whole truth that I
had bee n looking for, which is actually what everyone is
looking for, whether they realize  it or not. And once I had seen
the truth, I could see that it was everywhere. Everything I had
been rea ding and learning for ten years contained it; I just
didn’ t have the e yes to see it at that time. I had been searching
for year s, from one tradition an d philosophy to the next, and
what I had been looking for ha d been right in front of me all
along. From the moment I made the di scovery, I knew that there was
nothing more important than to understand this discovery
more, live it com pletely, and then share it with the world. My
hope was to sho w the way out for those experiencing hardship,
to help end the pain and suf feri ng that so many are enduring,and to shine a light to a futur e where we can live without
anxiety or fear. I ha d already been putting notes from everything I was
learning in a folder on my computer that was entitled “My
Next Bo ok. ” It was an intuiti ve sense that inspired me to
record e verything I was discovering, in the hope that I could
eventually share it with the world. Those cherished notes,
when I had finished collating them, became the foundation of
this book. Just two months after discovering the truth through David
Bingham, I met someone else w ho was to have an enormous
ef fect on my life, and on the creation of this book. She walked
into a room I wa s in at a retreat, and when I walked up to talk
to he r, h er prese nce had such a profound ef fect on me that any
trace of negativi ty from my entire lif e was gone in an instan t. She had  been a s tudent of one o f my all-time favorite teachers,
the late Robert  Adams. I kne w instantly that she was my
teacher, the one who would hel p me fully realize and live the
truth in this lifet ime, and she has remained my teacher for the
past four years. Her teachings are straightforward, beautifully
simple, and she never hesitates to tell me if I’m going in the
wrong direction.


. G.D., who told him
that he was dying of lung cancer that had spread through both his lungs. Could E.T. come and help
him? E.T. traveled to G.D.’s home and set up the Gerson Therapy for him. Amazingly, both these terminal patients recovered! Fifteen years later, in 1981, both were
alive and well. E.T. was 84 years old. Dr. G.D. was a good deal younger and lived for many more
years. Eventually we heard from his son that he had passed away. Astrocytoma
N.K. In 1987, just weeks before her tenth birthday, this young girl, living in North Liberty,
Indiana, began to suffer from headaches followed by vomiting. A CAT scan showed a brain
tumor, and the patient was taken to Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis, for brain surgery. The surgeon removed what he could, but found that some of the tumor was too close to a major
blood vessel and could only be cauterized. Subsequently N.K. had annual checkups. When she turned 13, an MRI (Magnetic Resonance
Imaging) showed a recurrence. The doctor said that at this early stage he could not operate, but
N.K.’s mother felt unable to just sit by and wait for her daughter’s brain tumor to grow. She found
out about the Gerson treatment and in 1990 the patient and her mother came to the Mexican
hospital. Due to the demanding routine of the Gerson Therapy with the need for hourly juices,
N.K. could not go to school, so her mother home schooled her. Also, doing her enemas, the patient
did a great deal of reading. First she read the classics, then she studied mathematics, and finally

www.thegersonway.comphilosophy. By the time she took her SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test), she was not only free from
her tumor, but also scored extremely high on her test. When her surgeon examined her new X-rays, he could not understand how it was possible for
N.K. to have no more malignancy, since he knew that he had left some tumor tissue in place at the
time of her operation. Her fine motor skills were also perfectly restored, so much so that she was
even able to play the violin. Last report: N.K. continues fit and well; at 26 she is married and has a family. She graduated
from college “Magna cum Laude.”
Nicotine Addiction
A.C.  started to smoke cigarettes aged 17. She looked barely fifteen and hoped that smoking
would make her look more grown-up. At first she hated the smell and taste of cigarettes, but
quickly got hooked on them, and was still smoking 35 years later, when she went down with
malignant melanoma. When she discovered the Gerson Therapy and decided to go to the Mexican Gerson Hospital,
her main worry was the need to manage without smoking once she got there. It had been made
clear to her that if she tried to smoke just one cigarette, she would be sent home at once. Having
tried, and failed, to stop smoking more times than she cared to remember, A.C. felt very anxious
indeed. As soon as she arrived at the hospital, she found herself embroiled in the full intensive
program—one juice after another, enema training, meals, instructions, meeting other patients took
up every waking minute. What with all this activity, it took A.C. almost two whole days to realize
that she had neither smoked nor missed her lifetime habit. The real shock came a few hours later,
when in the garden of the hospital she met a visitor who was smoking. To her amazement A.C.
found the smoke highly offensive and quickly walked past the smoker. She suffered no serious
withdrawal symptoms, but it took several weeks for the extremely unpleasant accumulated
residue of her smoking years to evaporate through her skin and hair. She never looked back,
and—incidentally—also recovered from her melanoma. Esophageal Cancer
It is important to remember that beside the most common malignancies, namely cancer of the
breast, prostate and colon, which respond so well to the Gerson Therapy, the same treatment is
just as effective in healing rare cancers. To illustrate this, we present the case history of K.G. Born in 1953, this man was a taxidermist living in Arizona. He was health-conscious and
adopted a careful lifestyle: he didn’t smoke or use drugs and only occasionally drank a glass of

www.thegersonway.comwine—but, as he himself put it, his diet consisted of “purely junk and convenience foods”! If he
ate a whole wheat bread sandwich, he felt he was on a “health kick,” and didn’t touch salads,
which he dismissed as rabbit food. His annual intake of fruit consisted of perhaps four apples
and two to four oranges. To make things worse, he didn’t realize the devastating effects of the
materials he used daily in his taxidermist business:: formaldehyde, lacquer thinner, fiberglass,
urethane foam, paints, and others. Slowly over the years he became aware of some irritation in his throat. In due course
swallowing became difficult and his breathing was heavy. Aged 37, he consulted a doctor, and
the tests resulted in a diagnosis of esophageal cancer. K.G. was reluctant to consider the proposed
treatment, especially in view of the extremely low rate of recoveries, and searched for an
alternative, which turned out to be the Gerson Therapy. He embarked on it and now admits that it
had been a real struggle to overcome his aversion to the coffee enemas, but “… once I experienced
one, I could feel a difference, and realized their importance.”  The patient experienced very long
healing reactions, and was aware of the tumor “rotting in my throat with a terrible smell.” After
some two and a half months, K.G. reports, he felt the remaining tumor falling down his throat into
his stomach. This made him terribly sick for a few days, but finally he expelled all the toxins and
made a full recovery. He resumed his professional work, but has become extremely careful in the handling of the
chemicals involved, and remains well some 15 years after his recovery. A Whole Family Recovers: Breast and Prostate Cancer, and Pleurisy
This report illustrates the effectiveness of the Gerson treatment in healing the different
diseases suffered by the members of one family. First we saw the mother, S.H., whose mammogram at the age of 53 showed some suspicious
details. The surgeon removed two lumps from her breast; they were found to be malignant. He
suggested that S.H. should have a mastectomy, possibly followed by radiation, but admitted that
the latter would leave her lungs permanently burned, and would also soften and damage her
bones. The patient opted for a radical mastectomy, but the day before the surgery she decided to
go to Mexico for the Gerson treatment. She started the therapy in February of 1995, had no other
treatment of any kind, recovered fully and remains well. S.H.’s daughter T. had suffered from pleurisy since the age of three. Her condition worsened,
and by the age of 37, as the mother of two children, she was seriously ill—could hardly breathe
and was unable to sit, lie down or sleep, even in a hospital bed. At the time her mother, S.H., was
in the 14th month of her Gerson Therapy. She travelled from California to her daughter’s home in
Wyoming, with one suitcase full of organic fruit and vegetables, and another one containing her
clothes. Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved. This material may not be reproduced in any medium, print or electronic without prior written permission from the author.Page 205Healing the Gerson Way—Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases
www.thegersonway.comS.H. reports that already after her first glass of carrot juice her daughter T. started to feel
better. She kept improving rapidly and after three weeks was walking, sleeping and recovering,
until eventually she cleared the long-standing pleurisy completely for the first time in her life. She
is now fully well and training to become a massage therapist. Some years after the recovery of mother and daughter, S.’s husband C. was found to have a
PSA (prostate specific antigen) of around 14 to 16; the normal level is 1 or below. In July of 2003
a biopsy proved that C. had prostate cancer. This was remarkable, since for years he had been
eating the same diet that had cured his wife, S. However, C. had heard a lot of commercial hype
about soy products and their high protein content, and, thinking he needed more protein, added a
number of soy products to his food intake. He also took a fairly large amount of “aminos,” which
are high in sodium as well as being derived from soy. When C. stopped


 around 18:00 on Friday, absolute fasting be-
gins on Saturday during the day and Sunday un-
til about 12noon, then it is recommended to go
out for a walk in the open air, possibly on the
grass and barefoot, return home and only then
eat. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frWhy is the fasting recommended for at least
42 hours? Because over this period an important
substitution of sodium with potassium occurs at
the cellular level. Sodium contributes to the
preservation of organic substances in the cell
and this can end up obstructing it, while, on the
contrary, potassium contributes to its purifica-
tion and therefore improves metabolism. The
Ivanov system, in addition to dry fasting, in-
cludes long daily walks, possibly barefoot on t he
grass and in winter on the snow, buckets of ice
water on the feet and then on the whole body,
steam baths, baths in natural water basins (sea,
rivers, lakes, streams) twice a day; all this allows
to strengthen the energy body, freeing it from
external negative energies and restore the body’s
natural defense system. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr
Comment by dr. Filonov
A major drawback to the Ivanov rehabilita-
tion system is certainly the orientation towards
a rural way of life. For inhabitants of modern cit-
ies, however willful and diligent, walking bare-
foot on the ground and pouring buckets of cold
water is difficult to practice every day. The cold
ablutions could be reserved to the weekends and
holidays, but the procedure requires daily prac-
tice and should be executed with the feet  touch-
ing the soil. An alternative would be a cold
shower, but it is a completely different process. Nonetheless, those who can follow the Ivanov’s
technique with fasting, walking and ablutions,
will quickly obtain amazing results. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frShchennikov’s method: the complete dry fast
(CDF) of 7 -9-11 days
A great contribution to the development of
dry fasting method was advanced by Leonid Ale-
ksandrovich Shchennikov (1932 -2019), author
of the book Tselebnoe vozderzhanie ot zhidkosti i
pishchi  (Therapeutic abstinen ce from liquids
and food - Moscow, 2003) and owner of the pa-
tent n. 2028160 for the approach called "Method
of body rehabilitation " (1993). Shchennikov was an expert in non -traditional
medicine, a naturopathic doctor and a healer. For over 40 years, has d emonstrated the benefits
of therapeutic abstinence from food and water at
the cellular level. In his book L. A. Shchennikov tells how he
elaborates the technique of dry fasting. The

kov requires a practice of minimum 7, 9 days,
but ideally 11 days. Here are the benefits and ad-
vantages of the CDF:
• effective ly stimulates the internal resources of
the body responsible for increasing the body's
resistance to external, internal and external -
internal negative factors;
• helps to resolve different pathological condi-
tions and chronic diseases;
• total renunciation of fluid intake inhibits or in-
terrupts the decomposing fermentation pro-
cesses of the gastrointestinal system;
• it is an effective way to reduce overweight in
obese people (on average 1 kg per day);
• reduces the high level of metabolism found in
patients with lon g-term chronic diseases;
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr• improves blood circulation to the skin, opens
the skin -pores and improves the process of cu-
taneous respiration, increases the threshold of
cold perception, facilitates the assimilation of
condensed moisture through the skin and res-
piratory organs during outdoor walks, espe-
cially in evening and night hours;
• improves the body's utilization processes of
abnormal cells and pathologically modified
cells, cholesterol deposits in artery walls, sof-
tens tartar deposits in the oral cavity and  cal-
culi in tissues and internal organs (gallbladder,
kidneys, joints);
• normalizes blood pressure as well as the activ-
ity of the central nervous system and the auto-
nomic nervous system, improving respiration
and tissue metabolism;
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr• improves reparative proce sses in the human
body utilizing the body's reserves and internal
resources;
• improves conductivity and permeability of
nerve impulses (including trophic impulses)
towards various tissues and organs;
• activates the processes of toxin removal (em-
powers the bo dy to remove toxic metabolites,
exotoxins and endotoxins);
• stimulates the immune system;
• the CDF can be practiced in nursing homes
and specialized sanatoria or even in domestic
conditions, but under the supervision of CDF
specialists;
• it can be used in case of infectious diseases
(acute and chronic viral hepatitis, chronic hep-
atitis), oncological diseases (prostate adenoma
and uterine fibroids), severe somatic diseases
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr(bronchial asthma, inherited degenerative dis-
eases of the nervous system, ischemic heart
disease), inflammatory diseases (prostatitis,
myocarditis, and many others);
• strengthens the person's willpower and faith in
themselves and in their abilities;
• the CDF helps to joyfully perceive the sur-
rounding world and work creatively for the
sake of themselves and humanity;
• The CDF, unlike other fasting systems, can be
interrupted at any stage of its implementation,
without compromising the health of patients. Comment by dr. Filonov
The main advantage of this method lies in the
fact that, if you succeed to do an 11 -day CDF,
you reach the second most curative acidotic cri-
sis. As a consequence, the therapeutic result is
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frexcellent. This type of fast must however be
practiced in places im mersed in nature, in eco-
logically clean locations, with fresh air, near run-
ning water courses and under the strict supervi-
sion of a CDF specialist. However, the organism of today's human be-
ings is so full of toxins and waste products that
there is a risk t o die not so much of hunger, but
due to the strong intoxication of the body. When
a fasting practice begins, all the waste stored in
the most hidden corners of the body starts mov-
ing and invade the blood like an avalanche,
changing its physiological marker s. This can al-
ready cause malaise, lethargy, and general sore-
ness. The excretory organs may not have time to
eliminate all toxins and poisons from the blood-
stream. All the excretory organs would be
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fractivated: the kidneys, the rhinopharynx, the
gastrointest inal tract, the skin. As a result, the
urine would become cloudy, and kidney and
bladder pains may appear. The feces may be-
come liquid and a stomachache would be com-
mon. The secretions from the nose would be-
come abundant, as in the case of a common cold. The skin would be filled with pimples and acne,
there may be a frequent rash. All these effects are
unpleasant and sometimes even dangerous; they
indicate the challenges of the intoxicated organ-
ism to adapt to fasting. Usually this occurs be-
tween the fourth  and the eighth day. The one
who fasts ceases to lose weight, tiredness in-
creases, nausea, headache, heart failure and ar-
rhythmia may appear. These are the main char-
acteristics of the “block” (a severe intoxication). Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi

. 5
months
now,
I
have
been
regularly
drinking
150
grams
of
urine
in
the
morning,
a
medium
portion. The
results
are
amazing:
1)
My
hair
started
to
grow
again
(I
was
already
almost
bald),
its
original
black
color
returnedto
me
(the
author
also
noticed
the
same
changes
in
growth
all
over
my
body). 2)
I
lost
6
kg. 3)
My
appearance
has
become
younger,
I
have
fewer
wrinkles
despite
losing
weight,
better
skin
color. 4)
I
have
more
energy
and
vitality,
I
would
like
to
move
mountains. 5)
My
memory
improved,
the
ringing
in
my
ears,
which
was
previously
a
symptom
of
fatigue,
disappeared. 6)
My
blood
pressure
was
adjusted
to
130/70. 7)
The
pain
in
the
joints
and
the
heaviness
in
the
legs,
which
had
troubled
me
all
my
life,
disappeared
(I
suffered
from
joint
rheumatism). Just
a
miracle. Example:
"I
have
been
retired
for
6
years. During
my
sedentary
job,
I
developed
a
whole
set
of
diseases:
inflammation
of
the
kidneys
and
lungs
(several
times),
chronic
bronchitis,
erosion
of
the
stomach
and
duodenum,
frequent
constipation,
forced
defecation,
high
blood
pressure,
irregular
heart
activity. I
started
drinking
morning
urine
and
doing
enemas
according
to
dr. Walker. I
cleaned
my
colon
of
sludge
stones. Then
I
started
doing
mini
enemas
with
quarter
urine. After
the
third
enema,
diseased
tissue
came
out
in
the
shape
of
slimy
fringes. The
chair
adjusted. I
can
confirm
that
mini-enemas
with
evaporated
urine
are
the
best
natural
means
for
cleansing
the
fat
intestines. When
I
drink
my
morning
urine,
I
still
get
mucus
when
I
cough
and
also
from
my
nose. There
are
fewer
and
fewer
of
them. The
state
of
health
has
improved
significantly,
the
color
of
my
face
is
pink,
it
is
easier
for
me
to
breathe
(I
used
to
suffer
from
shortness
of
breath),
my
endurance
and
vigor
are
increasing. " I
can
confirm
the
loss
of
shortness
of
breath
from
my
own
experience. A
few
years
ago
I
could
hardly
go
out
to
my
apartment
on
the
fourth
floor,
today
I
run
up
the
stairs
like
I
was
in
my
thirties,
before
I
had
to
rest
after
a
few
shovelfuls
of
earth
or
sand,
today
I
dump
the
whole
compost
in
one
go. Urinotherapy
has
a
really
wonderful
and
quick
effect
on
improving
breathing. Example:
"I
have
been
applying
urine
to
my
feet
and
arms
up
to
my
shoulders
for
a
week
and
have
felt
a
marked
improvement
in
my
health. " Example
about
how
the
singer
improved
her
voice
and
cured
her
throat:
"In
the
morning
I
gargle
fresh
urine
and
swallow
a
few
sips. My
voice
became
stronger,
its
color
improved. Incredibly. " Example:
“I
have
personally
experienced
the
effect
of
urine
healing
and
fasting
(two
days
a
week
for
two
months). When
I
returned
from
vacation,
my
family
and
friends
were
surprised:
I
lost
20
kg
in
two
months,
from
80
to
60. " Example:
“My
grandfather
lived
to
be
over
a
hundred
years
old
and
did
not
die,
but
died
after
being
struck
by
lightning
in
the
forest. My
father
said
that
my
grandfather
used
urine
whenever
he
felt
sick
and
bathed
in
cold
water
in
winter
and
summer. " Comment:
It
is
better
to
shower
with
a
contrast
shower:
warm,
cold,
warm,
ice
for
only
2-5
seconds,
depending
on
the
body
composition. At
the
end
of
the
book
I
present
the
experience
of
the
doctors
themselves
:
"I
am
a
generalpractitioner
with
ten
years
of
experience
and
lately
I
have
been
trying
to
treat
with
non-traditional
methods,
including
urine
therapy. Here
is
one
of
the
interesting
cases:
A
patient,
45
years
old,
was
treated
for
jaundice. Pancreatic
cancer
was
detected
during
laparoscopy
and
the
patient
was
sent
home. I
prescribed
fasting
for
her
for
two
weeks
with
massaging
her
whole
body
with
urine
and
drinking
urine. He
still
does
not
eat
meat
and
milk,
although
he
has
a
taste
for
salty
and
spicy. Three
weeks
after
the
end
of
the
hunger
strike,
tests
showed
a
normal
state
of
health. The
patient
has
returned
to
work,
she
is
feeling
well.'Here
I
would
like
to
emphasize
again
that
the
basis
of
successful
healing
is
faith
in
the
given
method. If
a
person
does
not
believe
and
starts
consulting
too
much
with
relatives,
acquaintances
and
doctors,
then
the
result
is
nothing. Example:
Doctor
dietitian
with
about
three
years
of
experience. He
used
the
urinotherapy
method
for
hundreds
of
his
patients. According
to
him,
it
is
the
best
treatment
for
all
allergic
diseases,
bronchial
asthma,
severe
pneumonia
and
exudative
pleuritis. There
are
also
good
results
in
the
treatment
of
chronic
enterocolitis,
bronchitis
and
pancreatitis. Rheumatoid
arthritis
in
the
initial
stage
is
also
well
treated. All
skin
diseases
-
eczema,
neurodermatitis
and,
of
course,
overweight
and
metabolic
polyarthritis
-
are
very
well
treated
with
urinotherapy. However,
all
patients
must
under go
a
certain
preparation
before
treatment,
which
includes
cleaning
the
main
organs
(intestines,
liver)
and
switching
to
a
separate
diet,
mainly
vegetarian
with
a
significant
proportion
of
raw
food. Example:
"I
started
practicing
urine
therapy. I
struggled
with
almost
everything:
painful
liver,
stomach,
kidneys,
constipation,
sinus
infections,
colic,
frequent
headaches
and
asthma-type

problems. All
that
disappeared. There

’ s E ssence matures and is most abundant in adulthood, after puberty. The processes of aging, sexua l activity, childbirth and severe prolonged
illnesses all lead to a decline in the body’ s reserve of Essence. Essence is
stored in the kid neys and it is distributed from there to the othe r Or gans to
form their material basis. The Spir it is thought to enter the body with the first breath and  leave
the body  with the last. While present in the body, Spirit dete rmines our
thoughts, feelin gs and imaginations, manifesting in both the waking and
dream states as consciousness. According to traditional understanding the
heart ho uses the  Spirit (i.e. the mind), wherein the integrative functions of
consciousness occur, especially during sleep. In contrast, during
wakefulness consciousness operates through the brain. The concept of Spirit in Chine se medicine embraces the occidental
notion of mind and soul, although in a more archaic sense. In classical
literature Spirit is separated int o Y in and Y ang aspects referre d to as the
Animal and Spiritual Soul (po & hun) respectively. The Y in aspect isassociated with passion, attachments and instinctual drives with a
downward earth-directed movement. After death if the aware ness of the
Spirit identifies excessively with the Animal Soul due to strong residual
earthly attachments, the being may remain as a ghost until placated. Its
counterpart, the  Y ang aspect is associated with imagination, intuition and
higher consciou sness with an u pward, heaven-directed movement. Ideally
after death if t he Spiritual Soul is totally freed from the Y in Soul’ s
influence, the being attains the mystical soul-body state of an immortal. The fifth  substan ce, Fluid, is a collective term for all the normal body
fluids other than Blood, including saliva, joint, cavity and visceral
lubricants, cerebrospinal fluid, sweat, and so on. The Fluids are derived
from the  ingeste d food and liqu ids, and are acted upon by various Or gans
which sp read th e Fluids around. The function of the Fluids is to lubricate
and moi sten all the Or gans and tissues throughout the body, including the
exterior surfaces of the hair and skin.5
T h e  O r g a n s
C hinese medicine lays paramount stress on understanding the relationship of the
Or gans (zang fu) with the various signs and symptoms manife st on the physical,
emotional and mental levels of existence. In this way Or gans are described in
terms of patterns and ef fects, no t in terms of anatomical structure. The term Or gan
Images (zang xiang) refers to this concept of an Or gan’ s externalization of
symptoms via the ener getic Me ridian system (jing mai). The development of the
Or gan Image Theory evolved gradually incorporating ancient anatomical
knowledge as well as extensive clinical experience. There is ev idence that ancient
Chinese physici ans performed dissection, although the practice fell out of of ficial
sanction quickly; thus leaving classical anatomical study incomplete. However
much va luable i nformation was  nevertheless gathered, includin g for example the
size, weight and placement of major or gans, blood vessels and bones, and the
heart’ s role in the circulation  of blood. And clinical expe rience led to the
confirmation of many postulated correspondences; as for instance, the observation
that healing of a bone fracture is hastened by tonifying the kidneys established a
positive relationship between bones and the kidneys. Chinese medicine in general recognized the functions and patterns of ten
Or gans (see illustration 4) who se relationships are based upon correspondences
with the Y in-Y ang and Five E lement theories as summarized  in the following
table:
The Y in -Y ang paired Or gans of an Element are seen as being connected
through certain internal and ex ternal Meridians. The Y in Or gans are generally
more emphasize d in Chinese medicine because their functions are closely related
to the maintenance of homeosta sis both mentally and physically. The Y in Or gans
in consequence of having a special af finity to the five Substances, absorb,transform, regul ate and store them. Y in  Or gans are perceived to  be more solid and
internally placed  in the body than Y ang Or gans, and are possessed of distinctive
Nature. Y ang Or gans, in contrast, are rather hollow and more externally situated
within t he body cavity, and dischar ge Substances more than storing them. The
Y ang Or gans deal with the reception, transmission and digestion of food and
liquids as well as the elimination of wastes. The idea of Or gan Images relies a great deal on the associ ations found
within the Five Elements. The Or gans engender the characteristics of an Element,
especially the Y in Or gans. For example, the Or gans associated with the W oodElement, liver and gallbladder, are easily af fected by influences  in resonance with
that Ele ment, su ch as the climatic condition of wind, sour food and drinks, the
planet Mercury,  the color greenish-blue, the season Spring, or the emotion of
anger. D isturbances in either Or gan project themselves into the body as color
changes in the eyes and nails, a possible change in facial color to a greenish-blue
hue, a shouting q uality in the vo ice, or emotions such as anger and frustration. Y in-
Y ang pa ired Or gans are also mutually af fected by each other ’ s  state of health or
disorder. An Or gan’ s Elementa l correspondences can be studied by reviewing
illustration 3. Listed below are the main functions of the Or gans:
1)   The liver ’ s primary functions are to control the amount of Blood in
circulation and to engender a harmonious, unrestricted flow of Qi throughout the
system. A healthy liver facilitates sleeping rhythms, ensures proper vision and
allows the emotions to be in appropriate balance. 2)   The gallbladder aids the liv er and helps in the process of d igestion and
elimination. 3)   The heart’ s function is to circulate the Blood and contro l the Blood
V essels, as well as to regulate the mind. 4)   Classically the small intes tine is said to separate the pure from the
impure, converting food and liquids into nutrition and passing on the wastes. 5)   The spleen fu nctions are to a lchemically transform nutrients and produce
Blood, to regulate the amount o f Fluids in circulation and to prevent Blood from
hemorrhaging. Additionally the spleen sustains the flow of Qi  against gravity so
that Nutrient-Blood reaches the lung and heart and the abdominal Or gans are kept
in their proper elevated position. 6)   The stomach’ s main functi on is to receive and break down food and
liquids, then pass on the absorbed nutrients to the spleen for furt her transformation. The stomach also assumes th e role of causing Qi to descend downward to
guarantee that its contents are passed along the Intestines for further processing
and elimination. 7)   The  lung draws in Cosmic Qi and through its harmonio us rhythmic
movement disperses the Qi throughout the body and especially down to the
kidneys. In addition, since Qi le ads the Fluids, the lung is in ch ar ge of dispersing
Fluids. 8)   The lar ge int estine is responsible for the elimination and dis char ge of the
body’ s solid wastes. 9)   The kidneys are generally co nsidered to be the root of the ph ysical body,
storing and transmuting Essenc e. The kidneys also produce m arrow, which is oftwo types: bone and spinal. Thus the kidneys influence the vibrancy of mental
functioning, sinc e the physical b rain is considered a part of the spinal marrow. The
kidneys also control the reprod uctive or gans and secretions. They regulate the
balance of Fluids, sending turb id liquids downwards and re-cycling clear Fluids
back into general circulation. F urthermore the kidneys grasp the Qi and thereby
assist th e lung in directing the  Qi downward. Finally the kidneys perform.the
function of storing the Original Qi. 10)   The bladder temporarily s tores and then dischar ges the turbid liquid
wastes in harmony with the kidneys. Apart from the above mentioned ten major Or gans and their associated
Meridians, Chin ese medicine also recognizes the T riple Burner (san jiao) and the
Heart Protector (xin bao), neither of which are Or gans  in the usual sense. The
Classic of Difficult Issues  say s that the Heart Protector and the T riple Burner
represent inside and outside, bo th having a name but no form. T he concept of ‘no
form’ is to be understood in two ways, literally in the sense of not having a defined
structure, and in the T aoist sense as denoting a char ged precursor state of
manifestation (like the cosmic, primordial V oid) of a phenomenon. Though both
Or gans are more akin to ener g y fields than to structures, they  too have specific
external Meridians associated with them; hence

 are being forced to conduct yourself. This is the guts
of this erroneous zone, and it is akin to the approval-seeking dis-
cussed in Chapter III. If you want some kind of relationship, then it
is not unhealthy. But if you need it, or are forced into it, and sub-
sequently feel resentment, then you are in a self-defeating area. Thus,
it is the obligation that is the problem, rather than the relationship
itself. Obligation breeds guilt and dependency, while choice fosters
love and independence. There is no choice in a psychologically de-
pendent relationship, consequently there will always be indignation
and ill-feelings in any such alliance. Being psychologically independent involves not needing others. I didn’t say wanting others, I said needing. The moment you need,
you become vulnerable, a slave. If the one you need leaves, or
changes his mind, or dies, you are then forced into immobilization,
collapse, or even death. But society teaches us to be psychologically
dependent on a whole raft of folks from parents on, and you still
may be holding open your mouth waiting for the worms in many
significant relationships. As long as you feel that you have to do
anything because it is expected of you in a particular relationship,
and your doing it creates any resentment or your not doing it any
guilt, you can count yourself as having work to do in this erroneous
zone. Eliminating dependency starts with your family, with the way
your parents dealt with you as a child and the way you deal with
your own children today. How many psychologically dependent
sentences do you carry in your head today? How many of them do
you force on your children?190 / Your Erroneous ZonesThe Dependency Trap in Child Rearing and the Family
Walt Disney produced a superb film some years ago entitled Bear
Country. It traced a mother bear and her two babies through the first
few months of the cubs’ lives. Mama-bear taught the cubs how to
hunt, fish and climb trees. She taught them how to protect themselves
when they confronted danger. Then one day, Mama-bear, for her
own instinctive reasons, decided that it was time to leave. She forced
them to scamper up a tree, and without even looking back, she left. Forever! In her own bear mind, she had completed her parental re-
sponsibilities. She didn’t try to manipulate them into visiting her on
alternate Sundays. She did not accuse them of being ungrateful, or
threaten to have a nervous breakdown if they disappointed her. She
simply let them go. Throughout the animal kingdom, parenting
means to teach the offspring the skills necessary to be independent
and then to leave. With us humans, the instinct is still the same, that
is, to be independent, but the neurotic need to own and live one’s
life through one’s children seems to take over, and the goal of raising
a child to be independent is subverted into the idea of raising a child
to hold onto him. What do you want for your children? Would you like them to be
high in self-esteem and self-confidence, neurosis-free, fulfilled and
happy? Of course you would. But how can you help to ensure such
an outcome? Only by being that way yourself. Children learn from
the behavior of their models. If you are full of guilt and unfulfilled
in your life, but telling your children not to be, then you are selling
a tainted product. If you model low self-esteem, then you’ll teach
your children to adopt the same attitudes for themselves. Even more
significantly, if you make your children more important than your-
self, you are not helping them, you are merely teaching them to put
others ahead of themselves, and to take a back seat while remaining
unfulfilled. Such irony. You cannot hand your children self-confid-
ence;DECLARE YOUR INDEPENDENCE  / 191they must acquire it by seeing you living the same way yourself. Only by treating yourself as the most important person and not al-
ways sacrificing yourself for your children will you teach them to
have their own self-confidence and belief in themselves. If you are
a sacrificer, you are modeling sacrificing behavior. And what does
sacrificing behavior mean? Putting others before yourself, not liking
yourself, seeking approval and other erroneous behavior. While
doing for others is sometimes admirable, if it is at the expense of
yourself, you are merely teaching the others the same kind of resent-
ment-breeding behavior. From the very beginning children want to do things for them-
selves. “I can do it myself!” “Watch me, Mommy, I can do it without
any help.” “I’ll feed myself.” On and on the signals come. And while
there is a great deal of dependence in those early years, there is also
the distinctive push toward autonomy almost from the first day. As a four-year-old, little Roxanne will always come to Mommy
and Daddy when she is hurt or in need of an emotional support of
any sort. She pours out her soul when she is eight and ten years of
age. While she wants to be thought of as a big girl (I’ll button my
own coat!”), she also wants the support of a caring parent. (“Look
Mom, I scratched my knee and it’s bleeding.”) Her self-concept is
developing through the views of her parents and other significant
people in her life. Suddenly, Roxanne is fourteen. She comes home
crying because of a fight with her boyfriend, and she runs into her
bedroom, slamming the door behind her. Mamma comes up and
asks her to talk about it in her typically caring way. But now she is
told by Roxanne in no uncertain terms, “I don’t want to talk about
it. Leave me alone.” Instead of Mamma understanding that this little
scene is evidence that she has been an effective parent, and the little
Roxanne who always told all her problems to Mommy is now
working on them herself (emotional independence), Mamma is
distressed. She is not ready to let go, to let Roxanne192 / Your Erroneous Zoneswork it out in her own independent way. She still sees Roxanne as
the same nestling that she was only a short time ago. But if Mamma
persists, and forces the issue, she will be in for a huge dose of resent-
ment from Roxanne. The child’s desire to get out of the nest is strong, but when own-
ership and sacrifice have been the lubrication for the family machine,
the natural act of leaving turns into a crisis. Nest-leaving in a psy-
chologically sound atmosphere involves neither crisis nor turmoil;
it is the natural consequence of effective living. But when guilt and
fear of disappointment color the nest-leaving, they continue
throughout life, sometimes to the point that the marriage relationship
becomes one of parenting, rather than of two individuals sharing
on an equal footing. What then are your goals of parenting, and of working out an ef-
fective present relationship with your own parents? Certainly the
family is an important unit in the developmental process, but it
should not be a permanent unit. It should not be a vehicle of guilt
and neurosis when its various members make moves for emotional
independence. You may have heard parents say, “I have a right to
make my child into anything I choose.” But what is the payoff for
such a domineering attitude? Hate, resentment, anger and frustrating
guilt when the child grows up. As you examine effective parent-
child relationships which have no requirements or obligations at-
tached, you’ll discover parents who treat their children as friends. If a child spills the catsup on the table, it’s not a “Why don’t you
watch what you’re doing; you’re so clumsy” routine. Instead, you’ll
see the same kind of a response that would be given to a friend were
they to spill something. “Can I help you?” No abuse because they
are owned, but a respect for the child’s dignity. You’ll also discover
that effective parents foster independence rather than dependence,
and create no scenes about normal desires to be autonomous.DECLARE YOUR INDEPENDENCE  / 193Differences Between Dependent and Independent
Focused Families
In families that focus on independence, movement toward being
one’s own person is seen as normal, rather than as a challenge to
anyone’s authority. Clinging and needing are not emphasized. Similarly, there are no demands that a child have allegiance forever,
simply because of membership in a family. The result is family
members who want to be together, rather than feel obligated to be
together. There is also a respect for privacy rather than a demand
to share everything. In families like this, the woman has a life of her
own beyond being a mother and wife. She will model effective living
for her children, rather than live her life for and through them. The
parents feel that their own happiness is paramount, because without
it there can be no family harmony. Hence the parents can go off
alone occasionally, and not feel obliged to always be there for their
children. The mother isn’t a slave, because she doesn’t want her own
children (especially the girls) to become one. And she doesn’t want
to be one herself. She doesn’t feel that she must be there all the time
for her infant’s every need. She feels that she can appreciate her
children and vice versa all the more if she is fulfilling herself and
contributing to her family


 and what modern cultivation techniques have come
to, you’re not really looking at somebody growing food. What you’re really looking at is a strip-mining
operation, because when you grow a crop of corn or wheat or whatever it may be, and you ship that to
market, you ship some quantity of elements in a certain proportion and quality off to market. What
current practice calls for is that you put back three elements, even though you might have shipped 56
or 74 elements off to market. Mike : To be specific, when you say “elements” here, you’re using that in a sense of the table of
elements. Hartman : Yes. I’m using that in the chemical sense, but people use the word interchangeably with
mineral elements. seawater Minerals and the Coming Agricultural Revolution
Commercial fertilizers provide only three elements to crops
Mike : When you say they put three back into the soil, these are the three common components of
every commercial fertilizer on the market, right. Hartman : That’s right: nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. Mike : So, farmers can grow something that looks like food, but they’re only putting three elements or
minerals back into the ground.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>
Q: What is the primary goal of Ocean Grown, the company founded by John Hartman?,
A: The primary goal of Ocean Grown is to reinvigorate the food supply by providing mineral-rich crops and vegetables that support peak human health.
Q: What is the main difference between Ocean Grown's product and commercial fertilizers?,
A: Ocean Grown's product provides all 90 natural minerals in the same proportion, whereas commercial fertilizers only provide three elements (nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus).
Q: How does Ocean Grown's product work in agriculture?,
A: Ocean Grown's product is a concentrated solution that is diluted with water and applied to the soil, allowing plants to absorb the necessary minerals.

To the women of my life: Allison, Hailey, and Jessica, with all my love
To physicians not satisfied with the dogma who are willing to search for a new paradigm that promotes
health. To my staff: Thanks so much for all of your help and encouragement. I appreciate all of your hard work. And, to my patients. Thank you for being interested in what I am interested in. Last, but certainly not least. I dedicate this book to my mentor on iodine: Dr. Guy Abraham.PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION
Of all the elements known so far to be essential for human health, iodine is the most misunderstood and the most feared. Yet
iodine is the safest of all the essential trace elements, being the only one that can be administered safely for long periods of time to
large numbers of patients in daily amounts as high as 100,000 times the RDA. However, this safety record only applies to
inorganic nonradioactive forms of iodine. Based on a review of the literature, both forms, iodine and iodide, are needed for
optimal function of every organ and cell of the human body. 1
Some organic iodine-containing drugs, such as amiodarone, are extremely toxic and prescribed by physicians. The severe
side effects of these drugs are blamed on inorganic iodine although studies have clearly demonstrated that it is the whole molecule
that is toxic, not the iodine released from it. A case in point: the thyroid hormones are organic iodine-containing substances. Not a
single physician has attributed the effects of thyroid hormones to inorganic iodine. Why not? They are basically the same forms of
iodine covalently bound to an organic molecule. This author believes that this inconsistency of doublethink is most likely due to
decreased cognition caused by iodine deficiency. Medical iodophobia may have caused more human misery and death than both
world wars combined by
preventing meaningful clinical research in the daily amount of iodine needed for optimal physical and
mental health
2
. It is of interest that the recommended daily amount of iodine for supplementation by clinicians of previous generations,


	last	time	I	heard	about	her,	Lisa	had	stopped
applying	what	she	had	learned	about	deficiency	and	toxicity,	and	her	health	had
regressed. The	potential	to	get	well	(that	is,	her	new	diet,	supplements	and
workout	program)	was	lost	because	she	could	not	unlearn	her	programming	to	be
dependent	and	disabled. Will	You	Care	for	Me	If	I	Am	Well? Unhealthy	psychological	programming	derailed	the	health	efforts	of	another
client	named	Ruth,	who	suffered	from	chronic	fatigue	syndrome. Although	she
followed	my	recommendations	regarding	diet	and	nutritional	supplements,	she
made	only	modest	improvement,	and	I	realized	that	Ruth	was	going	to	be	a
tough	case. I	suspected	that	she	needed	a	great	deal	of	assistance	along	her
psychological	pathway. I	learned	that	when	Ruth	was	a	small	child,	the	only	time	her	father	paid
attention	to	her	was	when	she	was	sick. Then,	he	would	buy	her	toys,	sit	by	her
bed	and	read	her	stories. Most	other	times,	he	either	ignored	her	or	related	to	her
superficially. Subconsciously,	Ruth	learned,	“If	I	want	attention,	I	need	to	be
sick.”	No	doubt	she	did	not	intend	this,	but	her	behavior	was	programmed
nevertheless. Years	later,	when	her	marriage	was	falling	apart	and	her	husband
was	giving	his	attention	to	someone	else,	Ruth’s	programmed	response	was	to
get	sick—this	time	in	order	to	regain	the	attention	and	affection	of	her	husband.In	the	long	run,	of	course,	this	kind	of	behavioral	pattern	inevitably	fails;	Ruth’s
husband	eventually	divorced	her,	leaving	her	alone	and	sick. For	Lisa	and	Ruth,	certain	“rewards”	for	being	sick	superseded	their	desires	to
get	well	or	stay	well. This	way	of	life	is	not	uncommon;	people	often	have
psychological	reasons	to	get	sick	or	stay	sick—usually	not	on	a	conscious	level. People	often	learn	hopelessness	instead	of	hopefulness. If	you	are	sick,	be	sure	to	ask	yourself,
What	is	my	reward	for	being	sick? Am
I	willing	to	give	up	my	reward? Do	I	truly	want	to	be	well? These	questions	can
be	followed	with	affirmations	or	mantras,	such	as
I	am	well. I	am	getting	better,
healthier	and	stronger	every	day. Reprogramming	your	mind-set	or	approach	is
the	key,	whether	you	are	talking	about	the	thoughts	you	think	or	the	foods	you
eat. Health	is	a	choice,	and	the	best	chance	to	realize	it	comes	from	making	your
top	priority	to	get	well	and	stay	well. The	Placebo	Effect
One	of	the	most	familiar	descriptions	of	the	power	of	the	mind	over	the
body’s	responses	is	the	placebo	effect. This	concept	is	based	on	research	by
Henry	K.	Beecher,	published	in	a	1955	paper,	“The	Powerful	Placebo,”	which
concluded	that	roughly	one-third	of	people	who	receive	medical	treatment	will
show	improvement	simply	because	they	believe	the	treatment	will	work,
regardless	of	how	pharmacologically	effective	the	treatment	is. People’s
thoughts	affect	their	health—not	exactly	a	news	flash,	but	a	scientific	fact
nevertheless. When	the	research	was	published,	Beecher’s	paper	made	a	huge
impact	on	the	scientific	community,	and	since	then,	thousands	of	published
studies	on	the	same	topic	demonstrate	clearly	that	what	you	think	affects	how
your	body	functions. The	term	placebo	refers	to	a	substance,	procedure	or	treatment	that,	when
given	to	a	patient,	produces	a	beneficial	effect	on	the	body	that	is	not	a	direct
result	of	the	placebo’s	chemistry. Now,	medical	scientists	use	placebos	to
measure	the	effectiveness	of	a	certain	treatment—often	a	medication—	versus
“no	treatment”	at	all. In	a	typical	study,	for	instance,	one	group	of	patients	is
given	a	drug	and	another	group	of	patients,	unknown	to	them,	receive	pills	that
contain	essentially	nothing—a	placebo. This	approach	and	the	results	based	on	this	approach,	however,	are	misguided
because	the	placebo—by	virtue	of	positive	thinking—does	have	effects. Doctors
and	scientists	portray	their	disrespect	for	the	patient’s	power	by	thinking	of	the
placebo	as	something	to	be	“factored	out	of	the	equation,”	as	an	unwanted,	or	atbest,	uninteresting	effect. More	medical	support	for	this	power	could	go	a	long
way	toward	helping	all	become	and	stay	well. Scientific	work	with	the	placebo	proves	what	we	already	know	instinctively:
Beliefs,	attitudes	and	patterns	of	behavior	play	a	major	role	in	health	and
disease. Our	state	of	mind	is	as	much	a	part	of	our	lifestyle	as	our	diet,	amount
of	sleep	or	exercise. Let	us	harness	the	principles	of	the	placebo	effect	and	use
that	power. In	a	sincere,	direct	and	informed	manner,	we	can	use	it	more
profoundly. The	Best	Health	Coverage
The	support,	encouragement	and	good	bedside	manner	of	a	health	practitioner
(be	it	a	modern	practitioner	or	an	ancient	witch	doctor)	can	help	a	patient
recover,	even	if	this	“help”	exists	only	through	the	“effect	of	the	mind.”
Down	through	history,	many	or	perhaps	most	of	the	successes	of	health-care
treatments	have	been	and	are	due	to	behavioral	and	psychological	factors. A
1993	study	in
Cardiology
raised	the	possibility	that	a	large	share	of	the
presumed	benefits	of	prescription	drugs	actually	results	from	people	believing
they	are	being	helped. New	York	Times
columnist	Margaret	Talbot	summed	up	this	idea,	noting	that
“the	truth	is	that	the	placebo	effect	is	huge.”	In	studies	of	new	drugs,	she	says,
between	35	and	75	percent	of	patients	benefit	from	taking	a	dummy	pill. This
“placebo	effect,”	she	writes,	“should	probably	be	put	to	conscious	use	in	clinical
practice,	even	if	we	do	not	entirely	understand	how	it	works.”
Talbot	continues:
For	centuries,	Western	medicine	consisted	of	almost	nothing	but	the
placebo	effect. The	patient	who	got	better	after	a	bleeding—or	a	dose	of	fox
lung,	wood	lice,	tartar	emetic	or	any	of	the	other	charming	staples	of	the
19th-century	pharmacopoeia—got	better	either	in	spite	of	them	or	because
of	their	symbolic	value. Such	patients	believed	in	the	cure	and	in	the
authority	of	the	bewigged	gentlemen	administering	it,	and	the	belief	gave
them	hope	and	the	hope	helped	make	them	well. There	were	exceptions—
remedies,	like	quinine	for	malaria,	the	vaccine	for	smallpox	and	morphine
for	pain	relief,	which	actually	worked. But	generally	speaking,	if	all	the
drugs	of	the	day	“could	be	sunk	to	the	bottom	of	the	sea,”	as	Oliver
Wendell	Holmes	observed	in	1860,	“it	would	be	all	the	better	for	mankind
—and	all	the	worse	for	the	fishes.”We	need	to	use	the	principles	of	the	placebo	effect	del


 only liquid
for the rest of your life. It can’t be done long term like Omad Orin Looping. As
soon as you go back to solid food you put back on even more weight than you
lost. I will go into the reasons for this later. So juicing can be good but I only
consume in my eating window and only really juice plants that can’t be eaten,
it’s a waste to juice really good fruit that you could eat or blend. I would rather
stick them in my smoothie and consume all the pulp as well. I have seen friends
in my local Waitrose buying a trolley full of organic fruit and veg, only to throw
90% plus of it away when they juice it all. But I can see the logic, juicing fresh plants is very beneficial in many ways. Most
of the toxins stay in the pulp, and most of the goodness goes into the liquid. So I
have come to the conclusion that juicing plants that are not really edible for
humans is a great idea. Wheatgrass and other grasses and leaves are prime
examples; other animals have multiple stomachs and different digestive systems
to humans. We can't digest certain grasses and leaves by eating or even
blending them, but we can juice them and drink the juice. This is the second best
water in the universe after your own orin. This is not a waste to then throw away
the pulp because your body could not digest it properly anyway. There are many advantages to juicing no doubt, but on omad you don't want to
start your digestive system off until you’re eating window. The four 1's rule
allows for one drink with you one meal. This could either be a large juice, or a
smoothie. Remember juice fasts where your drinking juice multiple times per day
will not get your human growth hormone and other amazing substances to
increase by thousands of percent, as you have when you don't start your
digestive system for over 20 hours a day. But to have your juice or smoothie once every 23hours will still increase your human growth hormone and
testosterone by hundreds to thousands of percent. At the same time reducing
cortisol and other undesirable hormones. Plus all the other advantages when
intermittent  fasting for 23hrs a day; your body can cleanse and heal to a full
extent without having to stop to process something every few hours. If you compare a water only fast with juice fasting then the advantages of water
only is the digestive system has a rest and you don't need to come out of fasted
state every time you drink as you do with juicing. So water only fasting is
excellent, you still get the thousands of percent increase in beneficial hormones. You still get the full extent of the body being in a fasted state which mean the
body can clean and repair, another way of saying cleanse and heal which is what
happens when in a fasted state. But then you are not getting any nutrients at all with water fasting. With so
called juice fasts you are getting the second best water in the universe and lots
of easy to absorb nutrients but you keep coming out of a fasted state. So which is better? Water fasting giving your digestive system a break and
increasing the body’s production of amazing things by thousands of percent, but
no nutrients, or juicing where you have nutrients but have to come out of fasted
state which suppresses the body increasing natural hormones by thousands of
percent? 1.Water fasting. Advantage-Fasted state means increase in beneficial
substances in the body. Also fully cleansing and healing due to fasted state. Disadvantage no nutrients coming in. 2.Juice fasting. Advantage-Nutrients coming in regularly and you are
consuming the second best water in the universe. Disadvantage- You come out of fasted state every time you drink so you don’t
get the increase of beneficial substances in your blood and your body has to stop
cleansing and healing every time you come out of a fasted state. The good news is that there is a third option that offers the advantages to both
options with none of the disadvantages. This third option gives you even more
bioavailable nutrients than juicing, but doesn't take you out of the fasted state. How could that be possible? This third option is far better than the benefits of either juice fasting or just water
fasting, because the drink you will be consuming instead is completely bio
available giving you even more nutrients than juicing and will not restart your
digestive system as juicing will do. This drink is exactly the same as what is
already in your blood at the time you drink it, so it's recognised by your body as
already you. Yes this drink is liquid you. And it's given to you every day for free. It is your own urine, or a better name for it is orin.Option number 3. Omad orin looping. Advantage- You get even more and better
nutrients than juice fasting. The number one best water in the universe even
better than fresh fruit and vegetable juice. You do not come out of fasted state
so have all the advantages of the water only fast. Your body doesn’t have to stop
cleansing and healing. Your body increases human growth hormone by around
2000% along with many other beneficial substances with similar increases. Every human being has already been drinking it for about nine months before
they were born. As a baby you pee into the space you are floating in and drink it
down again, around and round it goes. This is called looping your orin. Every
human has done this for about nine months. If it was a waste product as we have been led to believe then every baby would
surely die. The truth is it is not a waste product but an excess product. The waste
goes out the umbilical cord, and then once you are born it goes out the back
passage. The urine does not. The baby pees into the space they are floating in
and drinks out down again and again. This is looping. This is an important part of
the programme. Omad works so much more powerfully combined with orin
looping. Chapter 2
Urine is antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitical, anti-virus, anti-microbial and anti
just about everything that is bad for humans. It’s in lots of beauty products and face
creams already and you don’t even know it. Urine helps to further educate your body
as to what’s foreign and what’s domestic. Then get rid of the foreign things that
should not be inside you. This is why urine is one of the best choices for autoimmune
problems that are running rampant these days. Urine also contains vitamins,
minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, enzymes, proteins, carbohydrates and most
importantly it’s 100% structured water. Far better than any other structured water in
the universe. Your body will know exactly what to do with it because IT IS YOU. It
also contains several thousand different known chemical compounds and
constituents that are incredibly powerful for the human body. As well it includes an
unknown number of as yet undiscovered and unnamed substances. Orin looping teaches your body what is foreign and what is domestic. Another way to
put it, it rids the body of what should not be there, but what should be there goes
round and round and is used again and again. Anything inorganic or dead in the body will be cleaned out. Any inorganic matter,
mostly inorganic minerals which are dissolved rocks and sand. Not only does it rid
the body of dead inorganic matter but there are other living organic things in the
body that shouldn't be there and orin looping also cleans it all out. The bugs, right
from the microscopic virus and harmful bacteria all the way up to the large parasites
as long as your leg. It will not rid the body of good bacteria and enzymes that the
liver decides is good for you. That's the beauty of the way the liver and kidneys work together when orin looping. You dump the toxins at the liver every time you loop. The bad things are forced out
the back passage, or your lungs or skin also get rid of the bad stuff. The good stuff
goes on into your orin. You slowly detox the body and get rid of all the things that
should not be inside you. Looping your orin teaches your body what is foreign and
domestic or another way to say it; what is good for you and what is bad for you.I am a distilled water window cleaner in London. Been doing it for decades now. I see
every day first hand just how powerful pure water is at cleaning. Why is pure water
used in machines instead of mineral water? Because the minerals are all inorganic
dead rocks that will build up. Pure water will dissolve them and clean the machine. Well the human body is a machine. Both distilled water from a distillation machine or
from your body's distillers the kidneys in the form or orin are so magnetic for
anything of the opposite electrical charge. All the good things in your body, living organic minerals that you get from plants are
the same charge. Everybody knows what happens when you put two sides the same
as each other of a horseshoe magnet together. They repel each other, the distilled
water leaves living good things in the body. It physically and magnetically can not rid
the body of living good minerals. What happens when you put two opposite side of the magnet near each other? They
powerfully stick together. This is why it is true to


 love and the seeking
of wisdom. Real mantra is quite different than the use of
words to subconsciously influence our behavior, like adver-
tising or propaganda, which promote ignorance and
attachment (Rajas and Tamas). Mantra is not a form of self-
hypnosis but a way of deconditioning the mind by break-
ing up unconscious sound and thought patterns through
those that reflect a higher tmth and energy. Some may ask, isn't all conditioning of the mind
wrong? Shouldn't we seek to decondition the mind entire-
ly? This is a mistake and can never be accomplished. The
mind, as an organic entity, requires the right conditioning,
just as the body does. The body requires a specific regi-
men, with proper timing and manner of eating, exercise, Ayurveda and the Mind
and sleep. The mind also requires a regimen of taking in
impressions, mental exercise and rest. If we fail to give the
proper conditioning to the mind, we will only give it the
wrong conditioning. The unconditioned is the goal, but
this exists in the true Self beyond the mind-body complex. To achieve it, the mind-body complex must be put in the
proper Sattvic condition first. A deconditioned mind, like
an unconditioned body, will simply be out of control. Mantra and Consciousness
Mantra means "the instrument of the mind" or "what
protects the mind." Control of the mind and the unfold-
ment of the hidden powers of the mind (siddhis) arise
through the power of the mantra. Mantra is the main
method of treating consciousness (Chitta) and is helpful
for healing all levels of the mind, inner and outer. It can
alter or eradicate deep-seated latencies and impressions. For this reason, it is the main Ayurvedic therapy for treat-
ing psychological disorders and can be very helpful for
physical problems as well. Mantra allows us to change the vibratory pattern of
consciousness. It is a direct method for dealing with the
mind. Methods relying on diet, herbs, impressions, or even
counseling, however useful, are indirect or external. It can
be far more helpful to regularly chant a mantra than to
analyze our psychological problems. The mantra changes
the energetic structure of the mind which dissolves the
problem, while thinking about the problem can reinforce
it. Mantra changes the energy of the mental field in a pos-
itive way. It is very different than analysis which, by exam-
ining the patterns of negativity and how they got that way,
may not alter them at all. There is a background sound-pattern to our conscious- The Healing Power of Mantra 227 A
ness. It may be a song we have just heard or the memory
of a painful or pleasurable event. Some movement of sound
is always going on inside us. Like the rhythm in music, it
determines the rhythm of our consciousness. The con-
scious use of sound can change that rhythm so that the
sound of our consciousness supports rather than detracts
from our awareness. Our consciousness consists of deep-seated habits and
tendencies. These are the ruts in the field of our con-
sciousness created by repeated mental activity (Samskaras). Mantra allows us to iron them out. When we repeat a
mantra for a long period of time, this creates an energy
that can neutralize the scars left from our distracted men-
tal activity and create a more powerful memory to override
them. Our memories are the subtle sound vibrations that we
retain in our consciousness. Memory in the psychological
sense — the internal record of hurts and fears — is undi-
gested sound. Such memory is misunderstood sound that
leaves a scar upon the mind. It is a vibration that cannot
be assimilated into the fabric of the mental field but
remains apart and produces changes that distort percep-
tion or lead to wrong action. Being constricted sound pat-
terns, memories and their pain can be neutralized by the
right mantras, which project a contrary sound energy that
breaks up their stagnation. Sound and Emotion
Any sensation we take personally, that we like or dis-
like, produces an emotion from fear and desire to love and
hate. Sound, as the most primary sensory potential, gener-
ates the strongest emotions. Each emotion creates a partic-
ular kind of sound. More intense emotions usually demand Ayurveda and the Mind
stronger sounds. We sing with joy, shout in anger, cry in
sorrow, groan in pain, and scream in extreme fear or pain. Those who die violently scream loudly first, reflecting the
agitation of the life-force as it is prematurely cut off. Sound is a vehicle for emotion, which it can either rein-
force or release. The sound of our words carries an emotional force and
transmits an emotional message. It tells how we feel and
reveals our underlying psychological condition. This may
be different than the actual meaning of what we say. Apparent statements of love may hide resentment, for
example, or statements of happiness may hide sorrow or
self-pity. Negative emotion is nothing but a certain energy of the
life-force, which is trapped by our process of self-centered
consciousness. We must learn to release the energy bound
up inside emotions. Negative emotions owe their existence
to wrong usage of the energy of consciousness, which con-
sists of fixing our attention on the names and forms of the
external world and losing track of the greater field of exis-
tence. The release of negative emotion depends upon stop-
ping the process that produces them. This is to reclaim our
energy of attention and use it in a creative and conscious
way in the present. Mantras, through their sound energy, produce a certain
emotional force or force of feeling. Through these energies
we can become conscious of our emotions. Through
mantra we can exercise our emotions. We can learn to play
with and master emotions, which are cosmic forces of
expression. We can learn how to creatively and conscious-
ly experience anger, fear, joy, or grief like an actor. We can
energize them and by degrees merge them into each other,
until our mind returns to its original state of pure feeling. The Healing Power of Mantra 229 A
Mantra and Breath
Prana, the life-force, is the primordial sound vibration
behind the universe. There is a sound behind the breath,
which itself is unmanifest sound. Our words are created by
the outgoing breath. To combine mantra with the breath
is a powerful way of changing the energy of the mind. Our
emotional disturbances are linked up with wrong move-
ments of the life-force. Using mantra and Pranayama
together removes these (note section on Pranayama, par-
ticularly So'ham Pranayama). Mantra and Meditation
Most of us fail at meditation because we have not prop-
erly prepared the mental field. Meditation in the true
sense, giving our attention fully to the object of our atten-
tion, requires that we already have a calm mind and con-
trolled attention. Conditioned as we are in the modem age
to entertainment, sensory indulgence and wishful think-
ing, this is something that we do not have. Mantra is the
way to prepare the mental field for meditation. It removes
the Rajas and Tamas in the mind, so that meditation,
which requires Sattva to proceed properly, can occur. Mantra provides a vehicle to carry us forward in medi-
tation. Otherwise, distracted thought patterns disturb the
mind. Mantra gives energy to meditation. To try to put
the mind directly into a blank or silent state may be no
more than to put our attention into our subconscious,
where its dark tendencies can further inflict their pain
upon us. Mantra serves like a boat to take us across the
ocean of the unconscious. Mantra-prepared meditation is
easier, safer and more powerful than trying to meditate
directly. Once the mantra permeates the subconscious, the Ayurveda and the Mind
subconscious will support meditation, providing it far
greater efficacy. Energetics of Sound
Sounds possess specific physiological and psychological
effects. Just as hot or cold weather affects our body in a cer-
tain way, so do different sounds and how we repeat them. However, the effects of external factors upon our body are
easier to observe than the effects of sound. Furthermore,
just as some people prefer heat while others like cool con-
ditions, so the effects of sound, though objective, are capa-
ble of diverse subjective interpretations. Once we know
the energetics of sounds we can apply them therapeutical-
ly like the use of herbs or foods. Mantras are like Asanas for the mind. They give plas-
ticity and adaptability to the mind. They exercise the
mind's energy and give the mind poise and stability. As
asana controls the body and Pranayama controls the
breath, so mantra controls the mind. Mantra maintains the
strength and integrity of our mental field and sustains the
proper circulation of energies in it. This reduces our vul-
nerability to external conditioning, which, after all, is
based largely on names. Mantra therapy primarily uses what are called "bija
mantras" or seed-syllables. These are prime sounds that
