tissues and organs. Atherosclerosis (and diseases caused by them) - is
killer men's number one! There is an understanding of atherosclerosis as a sign of old age. Sometimes atherosclerosis is associated with distraction or forgetfulness. both are wrong. Atherosclerosis can occur in young people
and absent in old age. This is the first. Secondly,
signs of the disease is much more diverse, because it can
affect the body literally from head to toe. Sclerosis in literal translation means "seal." He is able to

Heart - kardiosklerosis in the kidneys - nephrosclerosis and even bones -
osteosclerosis, and finally, a special form of destruction of large arteries
- Atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis - it is a violation of exchange at which the blood
content increases fat-like substance - cholesterol. Also increases the formation of the compound - lipoprotein
(Fat + protein), penetrating the wall of the arteries. In this case, it
accumulated cholesterol, followed by either liming
plaques, or ulceration of them. Risk and development

atherosclerosis of the lower extremities. After discharge

burning sensation in the fingertips. Can you help him? I've had in my practice, cases of successful treatment of such
diseases. I wrote them how to prepare better for dry
starvation. Three months later, they arrived with his wife. When
examination of the right leg was pale and cold to the touch. He could walk
less than a kilometer, and it occurred intermittent claudication. 213

 allergic influences such as solvents, or car exhaust fumes,

strong or unusual smells. Starting on the second day there may be more or less troublesome
withdrawal symptoms with cravings for the food or stimulant to which one
is addicted, be it alcohol, nicotine or other drugs. There may be headaches, dizziness, weakness and other problems. On the fourth day these symptoms usually subside,  and one begins to
feel much better. Often symptoms of long -standing ailments such as 45
 arthritis, heart disease or schizophrenia may disappear o r improve as
well. If you do not feel right by the fifth day, it may be better to extend the fast
until you improve. Chemicals and drugs, whether medical or recreational,
take much longer to clear from the body. It may lessen discomfort if you
take a stron g laxative on the first morning of the fast. In addition,  drink a
lot of water or diluted herb tea. After the Cleanse or on the morning of day six, have a small amount of
test food. Check your pulse for a full minute before, and 30 and 60
minutes after th e meal. Always test sitting in the same position, and when
the pulse rate is not increased from any previous activity. Then have several smaller test meals of different foods during the day. In the beginning, test mainly foods that you expect to be safe. Test
suspected allergenic foods at the last meal of the day so that you can
sleep off any prolonged reactions. Use suspect foods only individually or
with previously tested non -reactive foods. Before and after each test
meal make the pulse tests and any ot her relevant tests. If the pulse rate
increases by more than 10% after the meal, then this indicates a potential
allergy. The greater the increase - the stronger the allergy. If there is a
reaction involving a combination of newly tested foods, repeat test ing the
individual foods at a later date. In addition,  make other tests relevant to your condition. W ith weak
eyesight check your reading ability using a wall chart; school children
may be tested for clarity of writing and speech. Check the range and pain
level of impaired joints or muscles and  watch out for sign of bodily or
emotional discomfort. Keep a  detailed diary of the pulse rates,
measurements and any unusual happenings, feelings, discomfort and so
on. Usually,  urine and saliva become more acid after a reaction. You may
stop a strong reaction by taking 1 level teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate
(bakin g soda) and, if available, potassium as citrate, carbonate or
bicarbonate. Test offending foods again after three to six months. 46
 Commonly small infrequent amounts are then tolerated. Eat suspect or
problem foods not more than once a week. If conditions det eriorate
again, test again or adopt a safe low -allergy diet. The body is less
sensitive to allergic reactions when using alkalizers and digestive
enzymes. THE ACID - ALKALINE BALANCE
Our blood is slightly alkaline, and the body makes every effort to maintain
this alkalinity at a constant level. For this purpose,  we normally have an
ample reserve of alkaline minerals. Most of our food supplies minerals. The total balance of minerals in a
particular food may be either acid or alkaline. In plants strongly alkaline
metal ions such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, are
combined with weak organic acids. A surplus of organic acids will make
the food taste acidic, as in f ruits. However, in the body organic acids are
metabolized, and this leaves an alkaline mineral residue. This makes
vegetables and fruits alkalizing, but individuals who are overacid
because of Candida and allergies often cannot oxidize all organic acids
and need to neutralize acidic food to avoid becoming even more acidic. Animal tissue, on the other hand, contains a high percentage of strongly
acid phosphoric acid bound to mildly alkaline proteins. The proteins will
be metabolized,  and a strongly acid resi due remains. Accordingly, we
may classify our food as either alkaline -forming or as acid -forming. • Alkaline -forming Foods  are sprouted seeds, vegetables and their
 juices, fruits, almonds, most legumes, the outer parts of
 potatoes, bananas, millet, buckwhe at and brown rice. • Acid -forming Foods  are meat, fish, eggs, cheese, most grains
 and nuts (being high in phosphoric acid), and the core of potatoes. • Neutral Foods are refined starches and sugar, fats and oils. In order to maintain an ample alkaline body reserve, we may eat about
80% alkalizing to 20% acidifying food. There are food tables to show the
acid or alkaline equivalents. However, these are practically useless as 47
 some foods change their values in the bod y due to metabolic problems. Sugar, which is chemically neutral  and even alkalizing fruits, can become
acid-forming in sensitive individuals due to the formation of lactic acid. The same applies to any food to which you are allergic. On the other
hand, he avy meat eating can eventually lead to an over -alkaline
condition by slowing the metabolism and creating a deficiency of
metabolic acids. Alkaline -forming food may also become acid -forming if it is incorrectly
combined with other foods, or when you are emotionally upset. While
seeds are commonly alkalizing if sprouted or fermented, when cooked,
minerals may not be available as they remain bo und to phytates, and
then may be acid -forming. All of this is contrary to what you would expect
by using acid -alkaline food tables. Furthermore, the mineral content of
foods varies greatly depending on soil and storage conditions, production
methods and co oking. Therefore, the only reliable method is to observe
your body, skin sensitivity, tendency towards inflammations, allergic
reactions, and test the acidity of your urine and saliva. Alkalizing the Body
When our body is too acid it is also more sensitive  - emotionally as well
as physically. Skin and mucous membranes become very sensitive to
irritants, any allergic reactions are greatly intensified, and inflammations
may be intense and widespread. With Candida and leaky gut syndrome
the body generally is t oo acid. The strongest alkalizing foods are spirulina, barley grass and wheatgrass
powder, fresh green vegetable juices and vegetable broth. Those who are
overacid and sensitive may become even more so with cider vinegar, kefir
and fruit acids. However, dissolving dolomite or magnesium oxide in
vinegar or lemon juice until nearly neutral makes it a highly alkalizing
remedy. Sodium  bicarbonate is most com monly used to alkalize the body. On the other hand,  for those with raised blood pressure, high blood fat
or cholesterol levels and insensitive skin, acid fruits and their juices are
excellent without neutralization. In this case  potassium bicarbonate  may 48
 be used to alkalize. With muscle weakness try malic acid neutralized with
magnesium oxide or carbonate. Take so much alkalizer that your urine is mostly above pH 7 or slightly
alkaline (pH 7 is neutral). To check your urine,  you may buy pH paper
with a range from 4 or 5 to 8 or 9 or you may use turmeric powder:
dissolve a teaspoonful in half a litre of methylated spirits (methanol),
shake and allow to settle, producing a yellow solution. For a test pour
some of this solution into a test tube or small drinking glass. Add a few
drops of urine or saliva. If it turns ruby red, then what was added had a
pH greater than 6.8 (neutral or alkaline). If it stays yellow, then the pH is
less than 6.8 (acid). With digestive problems also c heck the saliva acidity. Before a meal
the normal acidity of the saliva is 6.4 - 6.7, while 30 - 60 minutes after
the meal it should be above 6.8. If the level is below 6.4 before the meal
the body may be too acid, and if it remains below 6.8 after the mea l then
the stomach may not produce enough acid. Be aware that allergic
reactions make the saliva too acid. With advanced cancer pH tests are not reliable as large tumours produce
much lactic acid and make body fluids very acidic, but they may also lose
much potassium which can make the urine very alkaline. Therefore,  with
large and growing tumours just use up to 3 spaced -out rounded
teaspoons of bicarbonate for up to  one week before reducing again to 2
tsp of bicarbon ate. Periodically strongly alkalizing i s also beneficial for other health problems
such as intestinal Candida overgrowth, inflammatory bowel conditions,
allergies, and autoimmune diseases. Take alkalizers at least ½ hour
before meals. Also see Chapter 5. *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

sexual energy
70% Is used for dally work,
digestion etc. This unique human freedom of utilizing our sexual energy so
flexibly does not come without it's price. The price is that we
spend an estimated 25% to 40% of our chi energy taken in through
food, air, and sunlight just to manufacture this sperm energy and
maintain sexual readiness. Why does the body spend so much of its
valuable resources to produce billions of sperm cells and regulate
them with an accompanying hormonal system? Simply to produce
a few children over the course of a lifetime? Nature is not that
extravagant. The enormous investment of our bodies in producing
this sperm energy is to speed our overall evolution. The more
successful man is in transforming his stored energy into higher
creative and spiritual energy, the more rapid his evolution. This
path of Taoist cultivation of chi energy is simply an attempt to most
efficiently utilize the natural gifts every man is born with to evolve
the maximum possible in a single lifetime.CHAPTER 3
THE BIOLOGY OF ESOTERIC SEX
Ordinarily discharge of the seminal fluid completes the act of love. As soon as the fluid is spent, the body strains to replace it. The
faster sperm is used, the more the body is forced to produce. Quite
obviously, production of this nutritionally rich and psychically su-
perpotent substance requires an enormous amount of raw mate-
rials. The reproductive glands receive these raw materials from the
blood stream. In its turn, the blood withdraws the precious ele-
ments from every part of the body, liver, kidney, spleen, etc.,
including the brain. Every organ pays heavy tribute to the glands that produce the
sexual seed. Because a single drop of semen houses such pro-
digious life energies, frequent loss of fluid depletes the body sys-
tems of their most precious nutrients and speeds the inevitable
physical decline into old age. Retaining the seed within the body is
the first step to reversing this cycle in which the male pays an
unnecessarily stiff price for sexual satisfaction. THE VOLUME OF SPERM FLUID LOST IN A LIFETIME
One may conservatively estimate the average American male
ejaculates 5,000 times in his lifetime, equal roughly to 4 gallons of
fluid. The Kinsey Report provided the following details on the
American male's normal frequency of ejaculation:22 Taoist Secrets Of Love

More recent studies suggest that it is likely that the vital seed
is more frequently lost now than in the time of Kinsey's study
because the overall level of sexual stimulation and activity is pres-
ently higher. The effects of the sexual revolution, availability of
contraceptives, attitudes toward sex in television, film and maga-
zines has been particularly strong in encouraging premarital sex
among youth. But to avoid any statistical inflation, let us use the estimate of
5,000 ejaculations per lifetime made by Kinsey in the 50's. To
calculate the flood of fluid normally lost: 5,000 (ejaculations) x 3
cc (fluid) = 15,000 cc. This is 15 liters or roughly 4 gallons of fluid. The semen spent
in an average ejaculation has a volume of 2 to 5 cubic centimeters. These drops contain 200,000,000 to 500,000,000 individual sperm
cells. YOUR BODY HAS ATOMIC ENERGY IN IT! This is an astonishing statistic: a single male ejaculation scatters
two to five hundred million sperm cells. Cast upon two hundred
and fifty million female eggs, a single ejaculation could conceivably
generate the present population of the United States. Multiplying
this figure by 5,000 ejaculations per lifetime yields a numerical
indication of the seminal power. The normal male ejaculates enough semen to generate oneThe Biology Of Esoteric Sex 23
trillion human lives. Within a single man's loins sits the capacity to
sire more than two hundred times the present population of four
billion on the planet! In a very real sense every man can create a
stockpile of sex energy literally more potent than the atomic bomb. If this immense reservoir of psychic energy were to be redirected
towards love and spiritual harmony, the possibilities for a peaceful
existence seem unlimited. Some Western scientists may scoff at the idea that semen is an
immensely powerful substance. Yet no one can deny the pro-
digious life-potential in the seed of a single man. By gathering this
life-generating force within oneself, one collects tremendous en-
ergy. The effects of conserving this energy would differ with every
individual. No man or race produces the same type of energy. Each
creates according to its own genius. One group develops enormous
physical force, another massive resistance to disease, another
clairvoyant powers, still another great longevity. But all men have
the inherent ability to substantially increase their active lifespan by
creatively adapting to their environment. Scientists have tried to improve upon Darwin's thesis by
focusing on specific genetic impulses behind behavior that lead to
increased survival of an individual's gene pool. This correctly gives
a lot of evolutionary power to our sexual impulses, but ignores the
process whereby this sex energy is transformed into higher cre-
ative impulses of the mind and spirit. The evolved man directs his
animal body and instincts with his mind and spirit. The scientists
maintain the reverse is true. They are right, but only to the extent
that man's evolution back to his original self is incomplete. Man is still bullied about by his biological urges. When man is
complete, and has truly integrated his still clumsy body with his
mind and spirit, his total freedom of spiritual being is beyond the
control of biological instinct. This does not violate the physical
laws of the universe; it simply postulates that we are beings with
the inherent power to cultivate our energy to a level of power
where it allows us to direct our bodies freely. It is not mind over
matter, as that implies a battle. It is more mind inside matter. The
revelations of mind have allowed us to create nuclear bombs and
send man to the moon, so why not use mind to direct its own body
which is immediately at hand? Scientifically minded readers may refuse to accept this. No24 Taoist Secrets Of Love
proof is possible except in the experience given by daily cultivation
of one's chi. Many scientists may have thought it impossible to
have an orgasm without ejaculation, yet I and hundreds of my
students know it is only a matter of education, of training the mind
to control the chi in the domain of its body. While science may analyze the chemical constituents of semi-
nal fluid, it cannot account for the human seed's life-genius. This is
beyond instrumental measure. How can one measure a human life? Only a scientific philistine would try to reduce man to a mechanical
theory. These and other scientific explanations pale before the power
of the seed's ability to make 4 billion unique human beings with
creative intelligence. Theoretical physics now acknowledges it is
impossible to scientifically analyze the ecstatic fact of creation. Quantum physicists have accepted the likelihood that there is no
smallest particle, no physical building block upon which the cos-
mos is built. There are only the multi-universes of space and time
linked together by infinite fields of energy. These are currently
described as gravitational, weak and strong forces, and electro-
magnetism. Taoists view any attempt to describe the totality of
nature, the Tao, as futile. They found it far more useful to find
ways of experiencing deeper harmony with it. Sexual energy is a field generated within the body and linked
to the larger cosmic fields in ways that no scientist can presently
understand. But there is no reason to wait 500 years for science to
come up with explanations of sexuality, as every man can experi-
ment with his own sexual energy field and draw his own conclu-
sions today. The Taoist masters were ancient scientists with a
genius for self-observation and were dedicated to furthering human
evolution. Each generation tested the practices taught to them by
their masters and tried to improve on it. The methods of chi
cultivation may have evolved over the millennia, but the principle
has remained the same: The ching or sperm power is a super potent
force readily available to men, awaiting only their harvest. Sexual
essence is a building block for expanding our personal universe,
the foundation for human love and evolution.The Biology Of Esoteric Sex 25

of sperm in the body in amazing detail. Each of the sperm cells
contains 23 chromosomes, prostaglandins, ions, enzymes, trace

of the egg and the nurturing environment of the mother are needed
to form a living human being of infinite potential. The seminal vesicles, two little sacks collecting sperm at the

Without Force
If you were to explicitly follow the advice offered in this 30th verse of the
Tao Te Ching, you’d be in a position to have a conflict-free existence. Imagine that! If our entire global population understood and lived the
directives of this chapter of the Tao Te Ching, we’d finally be free of battle-
related stress, along with the ravages that war has spread acros s our planet
since we began keeping historical records. As the 29th verse wisely
instructed, there’ s a time for everything—could this be the time for living
without force? Here’ s my impr ession of what’ s being offered to you in this verse: Force
creates a counterforce, and this exchange goes on and on until an all-out
war is in progr ess. Once war has begun, decimation and famine result
because the land cannot produc e crops. Now when you create war in your
personal life, it produces a dearth of love, kindness, and joy, which leaves
you and everyone around you stripped of Divine Motherhood. Lao-tzu is
encouraging you to look for an alternative to force for settling disputes. If
you can find no other option, then you’re encouraged to abandon any
reference to yourself as winning or conquering. Force includes any use of physi cal or mental abuse in which the weapons
of hatred and intolerance are applied. There will always be a counterforce,
and what you’ve opted to do isn’t “attuned to the Way.” This means that
you’ll ultimately lose—especially when you consider that Martin Luther
King, Jr., once observed that the only way to convert an enemy to a friend is
through love. Unfortunately, whenever force is used, resentment and ultimately revenge
become the means for responding. If we’re thinking in war-zone terms, the
killing of a large group of peop le designated as enemies leaves their sons
and daughters growing up hating the vanquishers. Ultimately, those
survivors take up weapons to exact revenge on the children of those who
vanquished them. The use of force propels entire generations of people intoa continuation of war. Or as Lao-tzu puts it, “Weapons often turn upon the
wielder.”
Thinking in alignment with the Tao applies to any conflict you may
experience. When you resort to force, then disputes with your spouse, your
children, your business partners, and even your neighbors will continue to
intensify. That’ s because the Great Way of Tao is that of cooperation, not
competition. The all-creating Source is alway s providing, asking nothing in return, and
coming from a place of sharing  its inherent love. It knows that all are part
of the 10,000 things, and they must cooperate with each other because they
share the same origin. So whenever you’re in a mode that propels you in the
direction of using force, you’ve  lost sight of your connection  to the Tao. Moreover, any collection of people (such as communities or countries) who
resort to weapons to get their points across are unattuned to the Way. They’ll leave the earth and the hearts of the people uninhabitable, except to
“briars and thorn s.” Your choice concerning your commitment to practicing
the Tao includes refusing to participate in any manner, be it mental or
physical, in anything that violates your understanding of the advice offered
in this powerful passage of the T ao Te Ching. Perhaps the easiest lesson prese nted here is the reminder to eschew the
behaviors of boastfulness and pomposity for anything achieved by force. Remember that whatever is accomplished in such a way creates a
counterforce that will ultimately  result in your victory turning to a defeat. If
you somehow feel that you had no other choice than to use violence to
protect yourself and those you love, immediately retreat to a position that
doesn’ t allow for bragging and self-congratulation. Vow to work on
restoring a balance of love where hatred previously resided, and do all that
you can to make amends for any damage that resulted from your use of
force. This 30th Verse is the Way. It has also been called wu-wei, or “not
forcing,” which means to take the line of least resistance in all of one’s
actions, and by doing so, create more strength. Here’ s what I believe you can learn and practice from Lao-tzu’ s advice in
this 30th verse of the T ao Te Ching:
Eliminate verbal and/or physical for ce in all situations.Examine the relationships in which you experience conflict. Make a
concerted decision to use less harsh language and to completely veer away
from becoming  physical in the resolution of any altercation. Practice
stopping thoughts of violence by shifting right in the mom ent to a stance of
listening. Bite your tongue! Stifle yourself! Hold back any response at all
for the time being. These are great reminders to you to become attuned to the Way. Remember, any act of force will definitely produce a counterforce, so if you
insist on escalating devastation, your weapons will be turned  back upon
you. Refuse to participate in violent actions in any way. Create distance between any form of violence and yourself. This includes
listening to TV or radio reports  or even perusing newspaper articles about
the uses of force taking place all over the planet. See if you’re justifying
hearing or reading about hostile activities as a need to be “fully informed.”
Once you know that force is being applied anywhere in the name of
subjugating others, you’ll realize that the constant repetition of that news
makes you a participant in the violence. By refusing to allow such energy
into your life, even as a passive observer, you keep yourself attuned to the
Way. Eventually, when enough of us are unwilling to tolerate such behavior in
any form, we’ll be closer to bringing an end to the use of force on our
planet. Rememb er that every use of force, even the smallest, creates a
counterforce. Here’ s what a great 16th-century poet, Saint John of the Cross, advises:
You might quiet the whole world for a second
if you pray. And if you love, if you
really love,

our guns willwilt. Do the T ao Now
In line with altering the way you look at the world, today change every
television chann el and radio station that presents an image or audio of the
use of force or violence. Then increase that “no tolerance” policy to include
movies, videos, and games that have beatings, homic ides, and chase scenes. OceanofPDF.comOceanofPDF.com31st Verse
Weapons ar e the tools of violence;
all decent men detest them. Therefore, followers of the T ao never use them. Arms serve evil. They ar e the tools of those who oppose wise rule. Use them only as a last r esort. For peace and quiet ar e dear est to the decent man’ s
heart, and to him even a victory is no cause for r ejoicing. He who thinks triumph beautiful

Without Weapons
The 31st verse of the Tao Te Ching unequivocally states that implements
of violence serve evil. Lao-tzu clearly knew that weapons design ed to kill
are tools of futility and should be avoided if you choose to live according to
the principles of the Tao. This includes the design, production, marketing,
distribution, and of course, the use of weapons in the business of killing. The Tao is about life; weapons are about death. The Tao is a creative force;
weapons are about destruction. Humanity has failed to learn this profound
teaching of the Tao Te Ching, which was written when weapons consisted
mainly of bows and arrows, spears, hatchets, and the like. From his positio n as an observe r and a being of Divine wisdom, Lao-tzu
recognized that there’ s no victory in any activity where killing takes place. Why? Because all people, regardless of their geographic location or belief
system, are connected to each other by their originating spirit. We all come
from, retain, and return to the Tao. When we destroy each other, we’re
destroying our opportunity to allow the Tao to inform us, to flow freely in
and through the form we’re in. What appears to our ego to be a victory to
celebrate is really a funeral, a time to mourn. Lao-tzu reminds us that taking
pleasure in winning a battle is aligne d with an ego will to kill. The Tao has
only a creative, nurturing, and loving will. On this physical plane, our
highest nature expresses itself through the pre


im,	love	is	a
force	that	flows	through	everyone	and	everything. Many	years	later	I	came
across	a	wonderful	experiment	that	applies	here. It	involved	a	group	of	rabbits
in	a	laboratory. They	were	kept	in	cages,	and	instead	of	eating	lettuce	and
carrots,	these	rabbits	were	fed	an	extremely	unhealthy	diet	to	see	if	they
would	develop	high	cholesterol	and	hardened	arteries,	just	as	human	subjects
do	when	their	diet	is	extremely	unhealthy. In	time	the	rabbits	became	sick,	as	the	researchers	had	expected—all	but	one
group,	and	no	one	could	understand	why,	because	this	group	was	eating	the
same	diet	as	all	the	others. Then	it	was	discovered	that	something	different
was	happening	to	them. One	of	the	college	students	assigned	to	feed	this
group	of	rabbits	used
	to	stroke	and	cuddle	them	before	they	were	fed. The
experimenters	were	forced	to	see	that	love,	in	the	form	of	touching	and
caring,	can	actually	change	the	body’s	chemistry. I’ve	never	forgotten	this	experiment,	but	as	a	child	I	already	knew	a	saying,
“If	you	give	nectar	to	an	angry	man,	he	will	turn	it	into	poison,	and	if	you
give	poison	to	an	enlightened	man,	he	will	turn	it	into	nectar.”	So	it	wasn’t
hard	for	me	to	believe	Baba	when	he	said	that	love	is	more	than	a	feeling. Love	has	the	power	to	create	change. What	is	it	that	people	really	want	to
change? They	want	to	be	healed
. This	means	in	both	mind	and	body,	because	life	hurts
us	in	both	ways. They	want	to	feel	safe
. This	means	living	without	fear	and	knowing	that	you
are	accepted. They	want	to	expand
. This	means	feeling	more	free,	not	having	that
suffocating	feeling	of	being	trapped	or	closed	in.They	want	to	be	inspired	to	do	great	and	wondrous	deeds
. I	don’t	have	to
explain	this—why	else	does	Hollywood	make	billions	of	dollars	a	year? Even
the	fantasy	of	great	and	wondrous	deeds	makes	us	go	back	for	more. As	you	look	at	yourself	right	now	can	you	create	these	changes? Nobody	can,
not	on	their	own	just	by	thinking. You	need	true	alchemy. You	must	release
the	same	flow	of	love	that	was	given	to	the	rabbits. Baba	taught	me	that
alchemy	comes	from	inside. People	spend	a	lot	of	time	looking	for	all	kinds
of	outside	solutions. They	move,	they
	change	jobs	and	get	new	friends,	they
forget	their	troubles	with	games	and	sports	and	movies. They	aren’t	thinking
about	love,	however;	the	supreme	power	in	the	universe	has	been	overlooked. The	first	thing	Baba	wanted	me	to	know	is	that	I	should	never	overlook	love
again.The	Boy	Who	Needed	Love

aba	had	been	standing	still	when	suddenly,	true	to	his	habit,	he	moved
quickly	out	the	cabin	door,	heading	straight	for	the	road. I	ran	after	him,
thinking	he	was	going	to	the	village,	but	after	a	few	moments	he	stopped. We
had	come	across	some	boys	up	ahead. “Take	a	look,”	he	said. I	knew	them	all. Four	boys	from	school	who	were	kicking	down	the	road	on	a
summer	day. They	needed	diversion,	and	at	that	moment	they’d	found
something	promising,	because	one	of	the	boys	was	shouting,	“No	way! Go
home,	Stinky.”
“What	are	we	looking	at?”	I	asked. Baba	was	paying	close	attention	to	the
boy	they	were	picking	on. “Someone	in	dire	need	of	an	alchemist,”	he	said. Jimmy	Stinky? I	thought. His	real	name	was	Jimmy	Starkey	which	made	him
unpopular	to	begin	with	because	he	had	an	Indian	mother	and	a	British	father. He	was	the	kid	who	forever	got	teased. Jimmy	was	wiry	and	small	for
	his	age. Somebody—probably	his	dad—had	told	him	that	he	had	to	try	and	fit	in. So
every	Saturday,	like	clockwork,	Jimmy	showed	up	to	give	it	another	try. This
time	he	held	out	a	new	cricket	ball. Indian	boys	are	probably	even	more	crazy
for	cricket	than	for	soccer. “Where’d	you	get	that	ball?”	one	of	the	other	boys	said. “Hand	it	over.”
Jimmy	hesitated. “What’s	wrong,	you	afraid	we’ll	take	it?”
“We	just	want	to	see	your	ball,	Stinky. What’s	wrong	with	that?”	another	boy
chimed	in. “Okay,”	Jimmy	said	doubtfully. He	handed	the	ball	to	the	first	boy,	who
started	tossing	it	up	and	down. “My	dad	bought	it,	for	all	of	us,”	Jimmy	said. He	was	actually	sounding	hopeful. “Please,	Baba,	let’s	go,”	I	said. It	made	me	uncomfortable	to	watch;	I	had
been	one	of	Jimmy’s	tormentors,	and	if	Baba	hadn’t	been	there,	my	attitudewould	have	been	just	like	his	present	tormentors’. But	Baba	wouldn’t	budge. I	don’t	have	to	tell	you	how	this	scene	was	playing	out. After	they	began
tossing	his	ball	around,	the	three	boys	wouldn’t	throw	it	to	Jimmy;	then	he
wanted	it	back,	but	they	wouldn’t	give	it	to	him;	then	they	threw	it	into	a	ditch
and	walked	away	laughing. “I’m	watching	him,”	said	Baba. “I’m	feeling	his	misery,	but	I	can	also	feel	his
tormentors,	who	are	happy	and	satisfied	with	how	they	treated	him. It’s	a	little
drama	about	human	nature,	isn’t	it?”	Jimmy	was	now	in	the	ditch
	by	the	side
of	the	road	trying	to	find	his	lost	ball	in	the	weeds. I	didn’t	want	to	get	involved	at	all. Jimmy	found	his	ball	in	the	muddy	ditch,
and	when	we	passed	him,	he	hung	his	head	while	I	looked	the	other	way. Baba	let	me	walk	down	the	road	at	my	own	slow	pace. I	couldn’t	get	Jimmy
out	of	my	mind,	and	more	than	once	I	wanted	to	turn	and	run	after	him. “And	what	would	you	do	if	you	caught	up	with	him?”	Baba	asked. “I’d	tell	him	I	was	sorry,”	I	said. “What	if	he	didn’t	want	to	listen?”	Baba	asked. “I’d	try	and	convince	him.”
“How?”
I	didn’t	like	being	interrogated. I	had	stood	by	and	watched	while	Jimmy	was
ragged	without	mercy. There	was	no	good	reason	why	he	should	trust	me. I
did	have	an	idea,	though. “I’d	ask	him	if	he	wanted	to	practice	pitching	and
batting	with	me. He’s	really	lousy	at	cricket,”	I	said. Baba	shook	his	head. “Once	a	dog’s	been	beaten,	it’s	hard	to	make	him	see
your	hand	holding	anything	but	a	stick.”
Baba	had	never	talked	so	grimly	before,	and	I	wondered	why	he	was	trying	to

sodium channel activation, free radical formation, and glutamate excitotoxic signal -
ing involving NMDA-AMPA-induced ion channels and calcium signaling in cell-
death pathways. 50,51,54,61 These cellular–molecular actions modified by DMSO will
be discussed in detail in this section of this chapter and in Chapter 9. Chapter 9 will detail how the basic research of DMSO in cerebral injuries has been successfully applied to humans sustaining a variety of insults to the brain. It is important to point out that the cellular and subcellular biological actions of
DMSO with the exception of lowering brain edema after trauma are not known to be associated with mannitol, a drug commonly used for the treatment of head injuries. This may be one of the reasons why DMSO treatment has been shown to be more efficacious and safer than mannitol when used in patients with severe, closed head injury. 44,45
The initial studies with DMSO were first carried out in the early 1970s in the
Division of Neurosurgery at the University of Chicago by a team of investigators led by Jack de la Torre. How DMSO was chosen to be tested against an animal model of head injury among dozens of other potentially worthwhile compounds is worth men-tioning. At that time, about a dozen head injury centers existed in the United States funded by National Institutes of Health (NIH) and most of these centers were des -
perately seeking new agents to address the rising incidence of head trauma. These head injuries occurred from falls, especially in children and the elderly. Automobile accidents were also high on the list of head injury causes. Since seat belts were not in common use in the early 1970s, about 50,000 deaths
per year were recorded from acceleration–deceleration brain damage sustained mainly from falls and car crashes. Most of these deaths occurred from complications that followed injury to the brain, generally within several days following hospital admissions. The frustration from personnel working in the emergency room after admitting a severe head-injured patient, whether the patient was a child or an adult, was the inconsistent nature of the treatments available at the time, which sometimes worked, but more often did not. At the research meeting held every other week in the Division of Neurosurgery
at the University of Chicago in 1971, DMSO was proposed by a member of the fac -
ulty, Jack de la Torre, as a possible agent to test in experimental animals with severe head injury. When asked by Sean Mullan, the chief of neurosurgery, for the reasons behind this proposal, de la Torre pointed out DMSO’s unique properties as a power -
ful diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and cell membrane protector from freezing dam -
age, properties, he argued, that could potentially counteract cerebral edema buildup resulting from increased ICP. The research project was approved, and the first series of experiments involving traumatic brain injury in rhesus monkeys were scheduled soon after. A vivid account by Jack C. de la Torre described in a letter to a colleague what happened on the very first experiment following a single, acute intravenous dose of DMSO as the primary treatment for this devastating brain insult. I remember it was bitterly cold in Chicago that March morning of 1971. Tucked away
on a corner of the second floor of Billings Hospital, my technician and I struggled with
a myriad of cables, wires and electronic monitors set up to detect any changes in the brain-injured animal lying on the table. I was a newly appointed Assistant Professor 139 DMSO in Basic Neuroprotection
to the Division of Neurosurgery at the University of Chicago, the lowest professorial
rank in academics. The academic trail for me would involve over 200 publications, six books and hundreds of international medical conferences where I would lecture about injuries to the brain and spinal cord. However, that March morning, only one thing was on my mind. Will the animal survive a severe brain trauma when given a new drug that had never been tested for that purpose. The odds were not good. We had already tested, as part of being one of seven Head Injury Centers in the U. S., dozens of worthless treatments reputed to benefit this usually lethal injury. And, we would keep on searching when…on that morning, “looky, looky, look at that…. ” my technician’s eyes rolled off the animal as I finished my intravenous administration of the drug. She pointed excitedly to the monitoring charts. The charts were going crazy, instead of cardiac collapse, respiratory arrest, a flat EEG and sure death, the heart rhythm stabi -
lized, breathing returned, at first in gigantic gasps, then in steady, normal, breathing pattern. The electroencephalogram, monitoring brain cell activity, returned in full force and blood flow to the brain, which had ceased in the final stages of the injury, began flowing again and reviving the almost dead brain. It was, as if the hand of God had
somehow touched the animal’s forehead. ‘I don’t believe it’, I   stammered. But it w as
true. I felt a tingling in my spine because this reawakening of a virtually dead animal had all the markings of a medical breakthrough. The drug was dimethyl sulfoxide or DMSO for short, used years earlier as a pain lotion and anti-inflammatory agent. What we would discover and publish about dimethyl sulfoxide in the next 8 years at the University of Chicago laboratories, would be pharmacological actions of a simple molecule that should have sent shock waves through the field of medical therapeutics as one of the most important drug discoveries of the century in treating devastating brain and spinal cord trauma. Instead, the discovery, the potential for saving lives and the continued research that should have uncovered other uses for dimethyl sulfoxide and similar agents was quietly laid to rest in the coffers of forgotten medicine. It was a baffling paradox that defied a reasonable explanation and to this day still remains unclear to me. The model to simulate acute head injury in rhesus monkeys employed in some head injury centers’ research laboratories consisted of an intracranial balloon inserted extradurally via a cranial burr hole near the temporoparietal region to produce pro -
gressive brain compression and increased ICP. This injury simulated and provoked an expanding extradural hematoma, common in acceleration–deceleration injuries from motor vehicle accidents. This type of slowly evolving compression injury is also commonly seen in falls, aggression, and sports-related injuries. Once in place in the extradural space, the balloon was slowly expanded with 0. 2 mL water incre -
ments until respiratory arrest was reached. One hour after each treatment, the bal -
loon was decompressed. 63 We were later to discover that no other agent tested for
head injury in our laboratories, including steroids and hypertonic agents, had the dramatic effects seen with DMSO. In the initial experiments by de la Torre,
63 40 monkeys were divided into three
groups ( Table 8. 1). Group 1 received 1 g/kg urea; Group 2, 2 g/kg of a 50% solution
of DMSO; and Group 3, physiological saline at the same volume as the experimental
treatments. All drugs were given intravenously at the rate of 8 mL/min. The results
using DMSO or urea on brain swelling secondary to an expanding extradural lesion in monkeys showed that 10 of 15 urea-treated monkeys survived (33% mortality) and 140 Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease
the examination of these animals after 24 h showed 4 survivors sustained right-side
paresis, uneven pupil size (anisocoria), and general lethargy. 63
Of the DMSO-treated monkeys, 14 survived (7% mortality) and 1 survivor showed
mild right-side paresis only. In the monkeys treated with physiological saline, 9 of 10 animals died (90% mortality) within an hour after injury, a lone survivor showed severe neurological deficits and died the following day. 63 Respiration, systemic arte -
rial pressure, carotid blood flow, ICP, and electroencephalography (EEG) were sig -
nificantly modified during the endpoint of brain compression but returned to baseline in the surviving monkeys that were free of deficits upon recovery. On the average, cortical blood flow as seen through a pial window installed in
every animal prior to injury returned to normal 23 min after treatment with DMSO and 45 min after treatment with urea. Copious volumes of urine were excreted from all monkeys within an hour after the administration of DMSO and considerably less after urea treatment. 63,64
All neurological deficits seen in the monkeys treated with either urea or DMSO
were temporary, and recovery was observed from 1 to 5 weeks after the experimen -
tal head injury. 63,64 This remarkable study in nonhuman primates indicated that a

only the devil would —to tempt you into
denying  God’s true identity as the
fearsome, judgmental, jealous, vengeful,
and punishing  entity of entities. Even though this  description better fits the
definition of a devil (if there were one),  you
have assigned devilish characteristics to
God in order to convince yourself not  to
accept the God -like promises of your
Creator, or the God -like qualities of the
Self. Such is the power of fear. I am trying to let go of my fear. Will You tell
me—again —more of the laws. The First Law is that you can be, do, and
have whatever you can imagine. The
Second Law is that you attract what you
fear. Why is that. Emotion is the power which att racts. That
which you fear strongly, you will
experience. An animal —which you
consider a lower form of life (even though
animals act with more integrity and greater
consistency than humans) —knows
immediately if you are afraid of it. Plants —
which you consid er an even lower form of
life—respond to people who love them far
better than to those who couldn’t care  less. None of this is by coincidence. There is no
coincidence in the universe —only a  grand
design; an incredible “snowflake. ”
Emotion is energy in moti on. When you
move energy, you create effect. If you
move  enough energy, you create matter. Matter is energy conglomerated. Moved
around. Shoved together. If you manipulate
energy long enough in a certain way, you
get matter. Every Master understands this
law. It is the alchemy of the universe. It is
the secret of all life. Thought is pure energy. Every thought you
have, have ever had, and ever will have  is
creative. The energy of your thought never
ever dies. Ever. It leaves your being  and
heads out into th e universe, extending
forever. A thought is forever. All thoughts congeal; all thoughts meet
other thoughts, criss -crossing in an
incredible maze of energy, forming an ever -
changing pattern of unspeakable beauty
and unbelievable complexity. Like energy att racts like energy —forming
(to use simple words) “clumps” of energy  of
like kind. When enough similar “clumps”
criss-cross each other —run into each
other —they “stick to” each other (to use
another simple term). It takes an
incomprehensibly huge amount of similar
energy “sticking together,” thusly, to form
matter. But matter will form out of pure
energy. In fact, that is the only way it can
form. Once energy becomes matter, it
remains matter for a very long time  unless
its construction is disrupted by an
opposing, or dissimilar, form of energy. This  dissimilar energy, acting upon matter,
actually dismembers the matter, releasing
the raw energy of which it was composed. This is, in elementary terms, the theory
behind your atomic bomb. Einstein came
closer tha n any other human —before or
since —to discovering, explaining, and
functionalizing the creative secret of the
universe. You should now better understand how
people of like mind can work together to
create a favored reality. The phrase
“Wherever two or more are gathered in My
name” becomes much more meaningful. Of course, when entire societies think a
certain way, very often astonishing things
happen —not all of them necessarily
desirable. For instance, a society living in fear, very often —actually, inevitably —
produces in form that which it fears most. Similarly, large communities or
congregations often find miracle -
producing power in  combined thinking (or
what some people call common prayer). And it must be made clear that even
individuals —if their thought (p rayer, hope,
wish,  dream, fear) is amazingly strong —
can, in and of themselves, produce such
results. Jesus did this regularly. He
understood how to manipulate energy and
matter, how  to rearrange it, how to
redistribute it, how to utterly control it. Many
Masters have  known this. Many know it
now. You can know it. Right now. This is the knowledge of good and evil of
which Adam and Eve partook. Until they
understood this, there could be no life as
you know it. Adam and Eve —the mythical
names you have given to  represent First
Man and First Woman —were the Father
and Mother of the human experience. What has been described as the fall of
Adam was actually his upliftment —the
greatest single event in the history of
humankind. For without it, the world of
relativity  would not exist. The act of Adam
and Eve was not original sin, but, in truth,
first blessing. You should thank them from
the bottom of your hearts —for in being the
first to make a “wrong” choice, Adam and
Eve produced the possibility of making  any
choice a t all. In your mythology you have made Eve the
“bad” one here —the temptress who ate  of
the fruit, the knowledge of good and evil —
and coyly invited Adam to join her. This
mythological set -up has allowed you to
make woman man’s “downfall” ever since,
resulti ng in all manner of warped realities —
not to mention distorted sexual views  and
confusions. (How can you feel so good

I’ve had all kinds of things happen in my life

Hidden in Plain Sight
Of t he billions of people on our planet, only a few have
discovered the truth. Those few are completely free from the
turmoil and negativity of life and live in permanent peace and
happiness. For the rest of us, whether we realize it or not,
we’ve been in se arch of this truth unceasingly every single day
of our lives. Despite the fact that this great secret has been written about
and alluded to by many great sages, prophets, and religious
leaders throughout history, the majority of us still remain
ignorant of the single greatest discovery we can ever make. Among those who have share d this discovery with us are
Buddha, Krishna, Lao Tzu,  Jesus Christ, Y ogananda,
Krishnamurti, and the Dalai Lama. While they each have dif ferent teachings that were appropriate
for their time, they all refer to the same truth—the truth about
us and the truth behind our world. “In some religions this truth is expressed less openly and
clearly than in others, but it is nevertheless the truth that lies at
the heart of every religion. ”
Michael James, fr om  Happiness and the Art of Being
This gre at secret  is in plain view for every one of us to see. It’ s
closer to  us than our very breath, yet we’ve missed it. Ancienttraditions knew that to hide a s ecret it should be put in plain
sight, wh ere no one will think to  look for it. And that’ s exactly
where The Greatest Secret lies. “Thus it  is referred to in the Kashmir Shaivite tradition as ‘the
greatest secret, more hidden than the most concealed and yet
more evident than the most evident of things. ’”
Rupert Spira, fr om  Being A ware of Being A ware
W e’ve missed the truth for thou sands of years because we’ve

missed the greatest discovery we can make that is right here
before u s—a discovery that can take us out of suf fering and
into lasting happiness. What secret can possibly be so life-changing. What single
discovery can ever end suf fering, or bring everlasting peace
and happiness. Quite simply, a secret that reveals who you really are. Y ou might think you know who you are, but if you think
you’re a n individual person with a name, who’ s a certain age,
from a particula r race, who has a profession, a family history,
and various life experiences, you will be stunned by the
revelation of who you r eally  are. “The only way that someone can be of help to you is by
challenging your ideas. ”
Anthony de Mello, S. J., fr om  A wareness: Conversations with the Masters
W e’ve all accepted many false ideas and beliefs throughout
our live s, and those false ide as and beliefs have kept us
enslaved. W e’ve  been told that there’ s limitation and lack in
the world—that there’ s not enough money, time, resources,
love, or health: “Life is short,”  “Y ou’re only human,” “Y ou
have to work h ard and struggle to get somewhere in life,”
“W e’re running out of resource s,” “The world is in turmoil,”
“The world needs saving. ” But the moment you see the truth,
those mistruths will crumble, and your happiness will arise
from the ruins. Perhaps you’re thinking, “My life is going swimmingly, and so
why would I even want to know The Greatest Secret. ”

Lester Levenson, fr om  Happiness Is Free, volumes 1–5
A wareness or Consciousness is all through your body and everywhere outside
your body; A wareness can’ t be contained within your body because A wareness
is formless. It would be like trying to contain space in a jar; of course, space is
both inside the jar and everywh ere outside the jar. In fact, the jar is in space,
just as all bodi es are in A war eness. Ab solutely everything is con tained in
A wareness, and it’ s the reason why the enlightened beings’ expe rience of life is
that they  are everything—becau se they ar e  e veryth ing. And as A wareness, so
are you! “Behind your eyes is the same consciousness, the only consciousness that is
behind Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, and behind all eyes.”
My teacher
Think ab out tha t. Y our Consciousness is the same Consciousness as all of the
great beings; that’ s how close you are to them. They are not at a distance from
you. Y ou are one  with them. “The mystery, the magic of it is that this ordinary consciousness that we take
for gran ted, ev en as far as denying its existence, happens to be the
consciousness of the universe itself, its true center.”
Francis Lucille, fr om  T ruth Love Beauty

There’ s no process to become the A wareness that you are; it’ s not something
you have to atta in. This is not something that certain people hav e and you don’ t
have. Y ou ar e alr eady it, right now. Y ou may have overlooked it, and you may
have believed all your life that y ou were just a person, but that doesn’ t alter the
fact of what you actually are. “Y ou can lose everything else, but you can never lose the awareness that you
are.”
Mooji, fr om  V aster Than Sky, Greater Than Space
When a human being lives from the place of knowing they’re Infinite
A wareness, then  the experience of living in the material world becomes

and went on the full Gerson Therapy, he, too, recovered, and has remained well and active for
over four years. Ewing’s Sarcoma
In June of 1993, T.I., an eight-year-old boy, was brought to the Mexican Gerson hospital
from Hungary. In March of 1992 he had been diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma, an endothelial
myeloma forming tumors on the long bones, for which medical texts give a very poor prognosis. In Hungary he had been treated with chemotherapy, but the cancer had spread from his pelvis
into the soft tissues of his abdomen. He arrived at the hospital looking pale and thin, and had
lost his hair. Despite the unfamiliar surroundings and his inability to understand English, the boy
showed remarkable discipline and consumed the unaccustomed saltless vegetarian food and the
raw juices without any fuss. After returning to Hungary, his mother reported that in three months on the Therapy the boy’s
tumor had disappeared. Two years later she sent us some photographs of T., showing a strong,
well-developed, healthy-looking ten-year-old child. His dramatic recovery was underscored by another fact. Prior to his journey to Mexico, being
treated in Hungary with chemotherapy, he was one of a group of seven children, all suffering from
Ewing’s Sarcoma, and all receiving the same chemotherapy treatment at the same hospital. While
T. had survived and was fit and well, the six other children from his group were all dead. The last news of the young patient was received in March of 2006, when his mother reported
that he was then 20 years old and enjoyed continued good health. Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

Gerson Therapy Recipes
Introduction
The basics of food preparation for a Gerson patient are explained in detail in Chapter 7. Please familiarize yourself with those instructions before attempting more varied recipes as given
in this chapter. Recipes using yogurt should be used as per Gerson doctor’s instruction; or if the patient is
using this book on his own, a cancer patient should not use yogurt before 6-10 weeks on the strict
beginning treatment. 100% organic, unsalted rye bread is permitted and is readily available in health food stores,
including at “Whole Foods.”   However it is important not to make a meal out of a “sandwich.”
A patient should not eat bread until he/she has consumed a complete healing  Gerson meal, with
the important foods: salad, soup, potato and vegetable, and raw or stewed fruit. Since the Gerson Therapy is work-intensive, it is also unwise to bake bread for the patient
since that is very time-consuming. Also, the patient should not have more than two small slices of
bread in the course of the day. Bread is a snack-type food, not valuable for restoring the body. Recipes
Last, but far from least, this chapter contains a treasury of recipes, which add variety, pleasure
and super-healthy nutrition to Gerson-style meals. However, there are some important points to
remember. First and foremost, please study and learn by heart the basic rules for food preparation
described in Chapter 12, “Preparing Food and Juices—The Basic Rules.” If you are a Gerson
patient, newly embarked on the full intensive therapy, you need to limit your food intake to the
basic recipes contained in that chapter for the first three months and eat no dairy produce for the
first six weeks. After three months, you may introduce some variety by using different salads,
dressings and vegetable courses, always remembering that the “‘Special Soup’ or ‘Hippocrates
Soup’” and the baked potato are essential parts of the healing diet and must not be omitted. If you are not ill but wish to improve your health and well-being by switching to the Gerson
lifestyle, you may of course enjoy the recipes freely. Even so, please use the slow, low heat,

www.thegersonway.comwaterless or minimum-water cooking method, described in Chapter 12, in order to preserve
precious nutrients. You will find no recipes for bread or other flour-based baked goods in this chapter. The only
acceptable bread—unsalted, organic rye bread—is available at good health food stores, so there
is no point in baking bread at home. Patients are allowed two small slices of bread a day, but only
after eating the complete Gerson meals consisting of salad, soup, potato with vegetables and fruit. Bread must not take the place of any of these items. Yogurt, when permitted, must be certified organic and fat free (or extremely low fat). A few
recipes refer to “thick yogurt.” To make this, hang some regular yogurt, placed in several layers
of cheesecloth, over the sink or in a cheesecloth-lined strainer over a bowl, and allow it to drain
overnight
 The only permitted sweeteners are organic clear honey, and organic raw brown sugar, which
is available in various shades ranging from light beige to dark brown. In the recipes, these
ingredients are referred to as “honey” and “sugar.”
 In order to avoid repetition, let us list some general rules that apply throughout this chapter:
•  All fruits and vegetables must be washed before use. If the water supply in your area is
not fluoridated, purified or distilled water (produced by reverse osmosis) may be used, both for
washing produce and for cooking. If the water supply contains fluoride, only distilled water is
permissible for cooking and as a final rinse for fruits and vegetables. (see Chapter 9, “The Gerson
Household,” p. 93, for distillers, and Chapter 5, “Breakdown of the Body’s Defenses,” p. 37, for
fluoride.) • When baking, the oven should always be preheated. •  “‘Special Soup’ or ‘Hippocrates Soup ’” are interchangeable terms for the same staple item
of the Gerson diet. In some recipes, it is referred to as “soup stock.” For a detailed description,
see Chapter 12, “Preparing Food and Juices—The Basic Rules,” p. 109. Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

@hotmail.frIf the malaise is very strong it is necessary to stop
fasting promptly, gradually begin re -feeding
with fruit juices and a vegetarian diet, and then
repeat the attempt. For this reason, suddenly starting this type of
prolonged dry fasting, without previous experi-
ence and a deep cleansing of th e body, is very,
very difficult. Lavrova’s method: a 5 -stage cascade dry fast-
ing
 Valentina Lavrova is the author of the book
Kljuchi k taynam zhizni  (The keys to the myster-
ies of life), where she illustrates in detail the ap-
proach she prefers: the casca de-dry fast. This
kind of dry fast is excellent for beginners and ex-
perts. Before starting to fast it is recommended
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frto follow a vegetarian diet for a few days, exclud-
ing animal protein, including fish. According to the Lavrova method, the first
stage inv olves one day of DF alternated with one
day of regular eating. By carrying it out for one
month, the result is 15 days of complete fasting. In the second stage of the cascade fast it is
possible to eat and drink two days and abstain
from food and water the  next two days. But at
this stage it is a must to observe the golden rule. How to end the fast: after two days of abstinence,
it is necessary to drink water and only after a
couple of hours it possible to eat kefir. The first
food must be animal  based prot eins, but not veg-
etable -based. Two hours after taking kefir it is
possible to eat anything. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frWhy does Lavrova not recommend eating
vegetables and fruit immediately after the fast? The reason is associated with the pancreas, an
inert organ, which cannot start working sud-
denly and immediately perform its functions; its
function depends on the supply of insulin in the
blood. In other words, in order to avoid compro-
mising the pancreas, it is better to let it be acti-
vated progressively. If there is no kefir at ho me,
boiled milk or fish or chicken broth will do, but
without vegetables or bread. The third phase of the cascade fast involves
three days of dry fasting, three days of drinking -
eating, then three days of abstinence and three
days of drinking -eating. The fast ends as already
described. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frOn exiting, the golden rule for the end of fast
must be strictly observed, i.e. drink water and
then kefir. B efore fasting, during fasting  and af-
ter a dry fast no enemas  are needed,  since  there
is no absorption of toxins  occurring in the gas-
trointestinal  tract due to lack of water. If per-
formed correctly, the stomach will clean itself
up. With dry fasting, enemas are not necessary,
but if it’s not possible to resist and a person
drinks water then it may be a good idea. The fourth phase of the cascade fast involves
four days of abstinence from food and water and
four days of normal feeding. The same rules as
the previous stages apply. The fifth phase of cascade fasting is the last
one and proposes five days of abstinence from
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frfood and water and five days of intake; the same
rules as the previous stages apply. These days are difficult, it is not possible to
sleep during the day, and fresh air is needed. The
body releases an unpleasant odor. Crystals are
removed from the body. The pores open and
through them all toxins that the kidneys would
never have been able to remove are eliminated. It can be difficult to speak because of oral dry-
ness. There is no feeling of hunger, only thirst. In exiting it is fundamental to remember the
golden rule: first, only water and only 2 hours
later a little kefir or boiled milk, or light and liq-
uid animal based protein food and 2 hours later
it is gradually possible to eat more; but with cau-
tion. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frLavrova recommends starting the practice
rigorously f rom the first and second phases,
never from the following ones. The author also
notes an important detail: during the days of
fasting contact with water should be avoided as
much as possible. We must not give the cells the
opportunity to be fed, otherwise they will not be
able to renew and restructure. It can be hard to
keep from washing the hands and doing house-
work in contact with water, but there is no alter-
native. It may be difficult to go to the fourth and
fifth stages, but do not be discouraged, writes V.
Lavrova. If you persist, you will certainly suc-
ceed. After fasting, drink only pure fresh water. If you observe a correct exit algorithm, this
method is harmless to the body. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frComment by dr. Filonov
The advantage of Lavrova’s fast is that it pre-
sents itself as an ideal propaedeutic exercise for
dry fasting of greater duration. It is an approach
that can be carried out independently in domes-
tic conditions, without practical complications. It gives a good rejuvenation effect, it is an excel-
lent remedy in cases of acute diseases and in the
early stages of the disease. The disadvantage lies in the fact that the time
lengthens considerably. In order to obtain a
good therapeutic effect from any type of fasting,
especially in the case of severe chronic diseases,
it is absolutely necessary to go through some
phases, especially the first and second acidotic
crises. In figurative terms, it is possible to say
that if the first acidotic crisis eliminates "the stem
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frof the disease", the second destroys "the r oot of
the disease." During the cascade fast to reach the
second acidotic crisis it is necessary to undergo
a five -day cascade DF for five days of normal
feeding, for a period of two months to a year. Few people can find so much time, willpower
and patienc e.

Filonov’s method: fractional dry fasting
(FDF)
To weigh the advantages and disadvantages
of the various DF methods and the characteris-
tics of their stages, Dr. Sergey Filonov has devel-
oped his own personal approach, the fractional
dry fasting (FDF), based on the fractional water
fasting method studied and proposed by Dr. G.
Voytovich (see question 5 above and Note 14). Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frDr. Filonov argues that it is very difficult for
the contemporary man to practice dry fasting
lasting 10 -11 days, that requires willpower, pa-
tience, a good training and an appropriate pr ep-
aration. Usually only strongly motivated pa-
tients can perform an 11 -12 and even 13 -day dry
fast but it should be noted that on the eleventh
day of DF the energy reserves are already at a
minimum. It is precisely for that reason that Dr.
Filonov decided t o experiment by splitting dry
fasting and proposing it for subsequent cycles,
usually two and exceptionally three: the first cy-
cle lasts 5 -7 days, the second 7 -9 days and an
eventual third one of 9 days. These cycles are in-
terspersed with periods of food r eintegration ac-
cording to a special method. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frThe first phase of dry fasting (detoxifying)
lasts as long as the patient is able to endure. In
this phase it is preferable not to have any contact
with water or even brushing teeth, but some peo-
ple may be allowed to bathe under a waterfall
and in mountain rivers to optimize the elimina-
tion of waste materials, which is essential for
maintaining homeostasis in the body. During
the first phase, the first acidotic crisis occurs, and
this is a sign of a good body cle ansing. Then the
patient goes out of the fast with a

It	is	hard	to	argue	against	the	advantages	of	eating	raw	fruits	and	vegetables. However,	modern	men's	day	has	become	more	hectic,	and	we	do	not	always
have	time	to	sit	at	the	table	and	chew	fresh	salads	and	fruits. Eating	eight
portions	of	fruits	and	vegetables	every	day	becomes	‘Mission	impossible’. Nevertheless,	there	is	a	solution. Juicing. It	makes	sense	if	you	tend	to	maximize
health	benefits	and	minimize	preparation	time	and	costs. Good	for	our	overall
health,	simple	juices	can	offer	a	lot	of	advantages. Therefore,	juicing	is	a	great
way	to	step	into	the	magical	world	of	raw	natural	food. There	are	a	lot	of	benefits	of	juicing:

1. Increase	your	nutrient	absorption. Juicing	can	help	you	to	absorb	all	the
nutrients	from	the	fresh	food. Further,	the	combination	of	ingredients	is
a	very	important	issue. Some	ingredients	can	help	better	absorption	of
minerals	and	vitamins	from	the	other	ingredients. For	instance,	citrus
fruits	are	rich	in	vitamin	C,	so	they	help	to	enhance	iron	absorption. 1. Juicing	improves	your	digestion. It	will	help	to	"pre-digest"	the	food	for
you. Therefore,	you	need	less	energy	to	digest	your	meal	in	liquid	form.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>

In
any
case. The
urine
acted
as
a
strong

will
disappear
if
you
switch
to
a

Doctors Kill More People Than Guns and Traffic Accidents Combined
By Don Harkins The Idaho Observer - April, 1999 5 -29-99

SANDPOINT -- Last St. Patrick's Day, Sandpoint Chiropractor Blaze Welch gave a lecture on how to get off of the disease scary -
go-round at the Gardenia Center here. The purpose of the talk, which was sponsored by the North Id aho chapter of Vaccination
Liberation, was to teach people that they are responsible for their own health. Dr. Welch also discussed figures from right o ut of
the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) which prove, through accurate interpretatio ns of their own words, that
in the last century we chose the wrong fork in the road with regard to our health care paradigm. Most people have been conditioned to believe in what is called the "Germ Theory" of disease -- that germs cause disease. The truth
is that germs (bacteria) are everywhere and they are attracted to and proliferate in diseased tissues. Bacteria decompose dead matter. That is their job. For instance, when a tree dies, bacteria come in and eat the tree and it
eventually becomes soil. Ba cteria do not eat a live, healthy tree. The same thing is true in people -- bacteria are attracted to dead
matter. Therefore, if you have dead matter in your body, bacteria will come in and get to work decomposing the dead tissue so  that
it may eventually become soil. In the mid 1800s, western medical science had the choice of going one of two ways. Bechamp's theory of disease maintained tha t
every living thing has arisen from the microzyma (the fundamental unit of the corporate organism) and every living thing is
reducible to the microzyma. Bechamp believed that microzymas secrete fermentative substances that aid in digestion in a healthy body and evolve into bact eria
when they encounter dead or damaged cells. Pasteur's germ theory of disease maintained that diseases come into our bodies and make germs that we must fight so that we may
be rid of them. J.I. Rodale explained Pasteur's 'germ theory' of disease by stating that, "Germs live in the air, every once in awhile
get into a human body, multiply and c ause illness. Nothing to it at all. All you have to do is kill germs and disease is licked." Bechamp's theory placed all of the responsibility of disease prevention on the individual and his lifestyle. In a practical s ense, there
was no money in that and people would be empowered with the ability to resist disease by taking care of themselves. Western medical science went with Pasteur's theory because it opened the door which created the world's medical and
pharmaceutical industries. Since the 1850s, we h ave been developing new drugs to attack and kill the disease invaders and the
result has been epidemics of cancers and sicknesses and diseases -- and a very rich and powerful pharmaceutical industry. Last year, commented Dr. Welch, the pharmaceutical indu stry did $182 billion in drug sales world wide. In contrast to that figure,
it cost approximately $183 billion to treat adverse reactions from all of those drugs, said Dr. Welch. Dr. Welch read off some statistics which should cause concern to anybody who  sees an allopathic doctor, has medical insurance or
may end up in the hospital someday. Again, the following admissions were taken from JAMA: The top five causes of death in the
United States, in order, are: Tobacco, alcohol, medical malpractice, traffic and firearms. According to JAMA, doctors kill more people than auto accidents and guns. With that in mind, one has to wonder why gun contro l
is such a hot legislative issue when, perhaps, we should be more concerned about doctor control. The number of pe ople that doctors kill per day from medical malpractice is roughly equal to the amount of people that would die if
every day, three jumbo jets crashed and killed everybody on board, commented Dr. Welch who added, in defense of his own
profession, just imag ine what headlines would result if a chiropractor or a naturopath accidentally killed just one patient? Another JAMA statistic stated that 1/5 (20 percent) of all people who see an allopath will suffer an iatrogenic (doctor -induced)
injury. Again, accord ing to JAMA, 16 percent of all people who die in the hospital are determined by autopsy to have died of something
other than their admission diagnosis. In other words, the doctor had no idea what was really wrong with the patient and, ther efore,
the patien t may have died for want of appropriate care that would have been subsequent to an accurate diagnosis. Another trade publication, American Medical News, stated that 28 percent of people admitted to hospitals are there because th ey
have suffered an adverse  reaction to prescribed drugs. We are miserably losing the battle against viruses and bacteria. Antibiotics do not work. We need to take a different tack be cause
this is obviously not working, said Dr. Welch. Dr. Welch made numerous practical and logical  observations throughout his lecture. One of them is so obvious that it deserves
mention here. When there is an epidemic of, say, pertussis, in a school and 14 of 200 kids get sick, who gets studied? he ask ed. The answer, of course, is that the sick kids get studied. They get studied by the county health district and the health district
accumulates its data and then tells the newspapers about the epidemic of sickness and everybody then flocks down to the healt h
district or goes to see their doctor to get v accinated. Would it not be more appropriate to study the 186 kids that did not get sick? asked Dr. Welch. Dr. Welch also read a quote from the British Medical Journal which states that only one percent of all scientific research pa pers
which explore med icine are scientifically sound. So, if that is true, then not only are allopathic doctors incorrect in their understanding of the basic nature of disease, th ey are basing
99 percent of their conclusions, and therefore their diagnosis
