Surviving A Healthy Childhood
By Kimberly S. Kelley
"W illiam D. Kelley, D.D.S." That's what I  put in the space marked "Father" on the
hundreds of forms I  have had to fill out in my time. In the space marked "Father's
Occupation," I  put "Health Researcher." That's about all the information I  volunteer,
with, a darn good reason, though. To my frequent embarrassment, my father has
managed to attain a certain degree of fame. Euphemistically, he can be said to be
controversial. Those less kindly disposed toward him might use the term "infamous."
In any case, I  have always found it easier simply to avoid him as a topic of casual
conversation.
When we lived in tiny Grapevine, Texas, everyone in town knew of my dad. He
was the dentist in the little yellow office on Worth Street who didn't appear to be
practicing dentistry. His patients didn't come from across town; they flew in from
across the country. And the people coming to see him were all so desperately ill;
many of them were cancer patients, obviously on their "last legs." Just what was
going on in the small office?
The Fort Worth Star Telegram answered that question in a "shocking expose,"
which set the town buzzing. Dr. Kelley, an orthodontist, was seeing cancer patients!
Further, the "therapy" he suggested was largely a matter of altering the diets of his
patients and giving them vitamins and such! The notion that an individual's diet
might be a factor in a disease as serious as cancer was considered absurd, but only
slightly less so than the idea of a dentist working with cancer patients in any
119
Winning The Cancer War
capacity. The scandal instigated by this article was the first I  remember.
Unfortunately, it was not the last.
My father became involved in cancer research first as a patient. In the early 1960's
life in this family was relatively normal. At that time, we lived in Midland, the
tumbleweed capital of Texas. Dad was practicing orthodontics, and his practice was
thriving. He belonged to the local country club, the school board, and the Church of
Christ. In his spare time, he indulged his passion for "tinkering" by restoring antique
cars. His pride and joy was named Twinkles, a 1923 Cadillac that ran like a top in
response to his diligent and loving care.
I  would like to think that my father, given a choice, would not have changed much
in his life. However, he wasn't given the option.
Dad became ill in 1963, and critically so by 1967. The physicians he saw in
Midland and Odessa couldn't find anything physiologically wrong with him for quite
some time. The fact that he was ill was undeniably apparent; he was so weak, he
found it necessary to lie down at the office between seeing patients. After he suffered
what appeared to be two heart attacks, a diagnosis was finally made. The situation, I
have been told, was as follows. He had cancer of the pancreas and liver. As is usually
the case, the malignancy was in its final stages at the time of diagnosis. The doctor
refused to operate, saying Dad would die on the table. He should "get his affairs in
order" quickly; he could expect to live only a few months. The doctor took my
mother aside to tell her that, in his opinion, two months was a more realistic time
frame.
One of the many reasons cancer is such an effective killer is its ability to destroy
completely the individual's w ill to live. The patient suffers overwhelming pain, and
his prognosis is rarely very optimistic. Any strength he might possess to combat the
disease is soon exhausted, and death ceases to be viewed as something to be
avoided. In death, the pain will be gone. The patient w ill no longer be forced to face
the people he loves and the sorrow his suffering has brought them. Death becomes a
friend, not an adversary. My mother and grandmother Kelley have told me stories of
how terrible a thing it was to watch.
Unfortunately (or very fortunately), my mother had some more unpleasant news for
him. Mom has always had a real talent with a credit card. Due to the fact that we
were living heavily in debt, she had quietly allowed Dad's life insurance to lapse. His
death would leave his wife and three young daughters destitute.
I  imagine Dad was very angry. He had come to terms with dying, but this news
surely obliterated any peace of mind he might have attained. At some point, he made
the decision to do whatever he could to live. I  don't know from what source he found
120
Winning The Cancer War
the strength to attempt the impossible. Maybe his anger provided the motivation.
(After all, if he died, he wouldn't be able to kill my mom!)
Instead of tinkering with Twinkles, Dad now began tinkering with himself. The
doctors had offered him no hope and no help; his only option was to take his case
into his own hands. He wasn't overly armed for the fight; one of his degrees is in
biochemistry, and he knew of several people conducting innovative research in
natural healing. His illness was so severe that, by trial and error, he was able to
determine quickly what substances (food, vitamins, and/or minerals) swung the
pendulum of his well being in what direction. Virtually everything the rest of the
family ate would make him wretchedly ill. I  remember sitting down to fried chicken
with mashed potatoes and gravy while dad dined on vile-smelling liver. My sisters
and I  didn't understand why he was eating this way; no one told us he was dying.
Anyway, Dad must have done something right. Two months came and went, and
the next four followed suit. During this time (and for sometime after, to be sure), Dad
was critically ill; and for the purposes of this paper and its space limitation, I  have
greatly simplified the things he did to get well. But the bottom line is still the same; he
didn't die.
Word got around — boy did it get around! The parents of Dad's orthodontic
patients started asking him for advice about their ills and those of their loved ones.
And Dad naively dispensed it. I  don't believe it ever occurred to him to do otherwise.
Many of those asking his advice were


 own energy. Sexual attractiveness, as amazing as it
may seem, does not originate in the outer world. It is
something that one projects onto the world. In one
society, being extremely slim is attractive. In another
society, being plump is attractive, or being brunette or
blond, or having a bone through one's nose, or many
rings around one's neck, or ear lobes that are pulled
long, or symbols painted on one's head, or hair piled
up. All these kinds of decorations of the human body
are only projections of one's own images that are being
held within. People are the source oftheir own sexuality.
Out oflovingness emerges the desire to experience
the other person's energy. In that clear space, masculin
ity and femininity are mutually attractive. It is as though
universal man is with universal woman, transcending
the personality. Instead of a localized physical experi
ence, now there are quite different feelings of expan
siveness and oneness that arise out of being with the
energy of that other person. Perhaps a second before,
there was no thought of sex in the mind of either one.
The couple is waiting for the toast to pop up out of the
toaster.Then there is an embrace that is done in a field
that is clear. In other words, the partners have let go of
any withholds, resentments, or things that were
obstructing their being with each other. Out of the
embrace itself arises the desire that is now of a totally
different nature. It is the desire to be with and experi
ence that person and their energy.The spontaneity ofit
arises not out of desiringness but out of the space of
the essential aliveness and energy of being with the
other person. It is a diffuse, overall experience, and 191 SEXUALITY
there is joy and gratefulness for the opportunity to be
with that energy. The high joy and pleasure of that
brings a sense of allness of completeness.
At the very moment that this desiringness arises in
this type of energy field, it is already simultaneously
complete. For example, if the phone rings and the
whole setting is interrupted, it can be dropped instantly
with no feeling of loss. There is no feeling of loss
because the sense of completion within the heart-the
oneness, the unification-has already occurred.
Wonderful phenomena happen in life when we let go
of being run by any particular appetite.When that hap
pens, it is as though the experience is complete at any
moment, at all times.
With weight reduction, if we let go of and disap
pear the hungriness, the wanting of food, and being
run by hunger, the sense of wanting and desiring to eat
now arises out of the eating itself. When we sit down
to eat, there is still no feeling of hunger or appetite, but
as we begin to eat, the enjoyment is enormous. If, how
ever, the doorbell rings right in the middle of eating a
steak, we can leave the meal and go to be with a friend
without a feeling of loss or lack. It is as though the
completion accompanies the enjoyment. Instead of
coming from a wantingness, it is almost as though we
are just this side of the experience and trying to push
to the next second. We know how that is in sex, how
that is in eating-we are always anticipating the next
bite, the next sensation.We are always anticipating. It is
like we are reaching, so there is always an internal
stream between what is happening right this second
and what we desire, want, and crave to happen in the 192 HEALING AND RECOVERY
next second.
When wanting, craving, and desiring are released,
there emerges the feeling of being with the exact
moment so that each moment is complete and total in
itself. Because of its completeness, it can be stopped
at any second with no feeling of loss. In a very high
energy state of joyfulness and blissfulness, there is no
feeling of loss. Someone can turn off the television
program we are watching without a feeling of loss.
That is because we are experiencing, without control
of anticipation. The nature of experiencing arises
from completeness in every moment. To be with that
person now, to feel at one with their energy, to feel
acceptance, to feel the aliveness of that oneness, is
already complete at the very moment of its experi
ence.There is no 'have to' to continue the experience
as a consequence of projecting completion in the
anticipated future. The pleasure of eating is perfect
without the anticipation ofthe next bite. In the energy
fields of lower consciousness, life is experienced as
going from incomplete to complete. In the higher levels
ofconsciousness, life moves from complete to complete.
. The letting go of desiringness allows the experi
ence to be completely a state of oneness and content
ment. Each moment seems to be arising spontaneously
of its own.Within the embrace, the experience is hap
pening spontaneously. It is like we are a participant in
the unfolding of a movie. This happens because one
has owned oneself back as source. Instead of putting
the experience outside of ourself as something to get,
we have owned it as something that we are. It is our
way of being with that way about ourself.The experi193 SEXUALITY
ence comes from within; therefore, there is no gap
between what we are and the experience.
From a lower energy field, we experience ourselves
as separately 'here', and that which is desired is over
'there'.The desire is then pictured as somehow coming
across, reducing the distance and the space, but there
is always that feeling of space between what we think:
we are and what we want. Our desiringness and what
we want are dualistically separated as the subject and
the object. As we let go and become free of that, we
then begin to experience life as spontaneously unfold
ing of its own. We begin to have reverence for the
nature of this experience. It becomes like the state
described by the mystics.
What is a mystic? It is a person who has really let go
of that desiringness and is experiencing completeness
and totality from second to second, and within it, the
exquisite beauty, reverence, and sacredness. Now the
relationship becomes an expression of that which is
sacred, and there is the enjoyment of the exquisite
sense of aliveness. It is as though we have transcended
the world. How has it done that? It could be said that
the world is that which is constantly changing, that
which begins and ends, that which is limited, and that
which limits us. Ifwe identify with it, it then limits our
experience to that local wanting and craving. Ifwe let
go of that, then the energy field that begins to come
through the heart and unite us with that other person
in this spontaneous joyfulness means that we have really
transcended the world because now the energy that
we are experiencing is infinite.
Experientially, the sexual experience now expands. 194 HEALING AND RECOVERY
Instead of a local genital phenomenon, the experience
expands throughout the entire body. From the entire
body, it now begins to expand into a space around the
body. It seems like the whole room is having an
orgasm. It seems as though some kind of an infmite
space is the source, and the body is merely what is
happening in that space. The body becomes like the
marionette that is acting out what is going on in an
invisible realm that is infmite.The energy being experi
enced is unlimited because love is unlimited.
Ifwe look around, we see the expression of loving
ness everywhere. It has no beginning and no end. It has
no limitation. The only thing that limits it is our willing
ness to experience it and be open to it. It is like an
infinite ocean, so when we become open to it by letting
go of that which opposes it, we become an expression
of that lovingness. It is then experienced as an infmite
space that transcends the personality as well as time
and space.
The greatest aphrodisiac is that inner sense ofalive
ness, and as that aliveness intensifies, it is as though it
awakens the totality of all of us.That feeling of loving
ness and goodness is the greatest aphrodisiac of all.We
are talking about the eroticism of the heart instead of
the sexuality ofthe body.The heart is all encompassing,
diffuse, and all inclusive, and it generates an intense
sense of aliveness. There is that exquisite pleasure in
the experience of our own existence expressed now
within the energy field of being with someone whose
energy matches, yet is its polar opposite. This allows
the man to experience his own feminine side. He then
owns it in the experience of the embrace. The woman 195 SEXUALITY
experiences his energy field within herself, coming
back to her through the man, and there is that sense of
oneness and completeness in the magic of that
embrace. The magic is the joining of these two energy
fields, the masculine and the feminine, as an expression
of their oneness out of that intense feeling of aliveness


 enemas being used in the course of the two years on the therapy, will I
become dependent on enemas forever?
A: Certainly not! Please bear in mind that the purpose of the enemas is not to clear stools from
the intestines; indeed, they only reach part of the colon and don’ t interfere with evacuation.
This explains why some Gerson patients are able to pass normal stools between enemas. If
constipation was a problem before embarking on the therapy, once the liver and the intestines
are fully restored, the patient develops “regular” bowel movements. The enema routine need
not threaten the recovered “regularity,” and in most cases, when the therapy has come to an end,
normal evacuation takes over without a hitch. In exceptional cases, when this does not happen,
at worst the patient will have to take a half-strength enema daily as a morning routine. To quote
Dr. Gerson’s emphatic rule,
“Never let the sun set on a day when you haven’t moved your bowel!”
Q: Since this therapy bans animal products, where do I get my protein?
A: It is a mistake to believe that all protein is of animal origin. On the contrary. Most vegetables
contain very adequate amounts of protein that is easily absorbed, well digested and assimilated.
Thanks to these qualities it produces healing, rather than feeding tumor tissue, bringing on
arthritic conditions, damaging kidneys, and giving rise to other health problems caused by the
heavy consumption of animal protein. Carrot juice, a mainstay of the Gerson program, is high in
protein; so are potatoes, oatmeal, and most vegetables.
It is no accident that the strongest and largest land animals, i.e., elephants, bulls, orangutans,
bison and others are vegetarians and obtain their protein from grasses, plants, leaves, and fruit.  Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007.  All rights reserved.

Life After Gerson
By now it should be clear that recovering from a life-threatening disease on the Gerson Therapy
is a difficult journey: a long and hard process, demanding courage, patience and perseverance—
and certainly worth every ounce of effort. Besides defeating the potential killer, this way of
healing is also a great investment in a long and healthy future. We have many recovered patients
on record who enjoy excellent health and vitality well past the age that is generally assumed to
bring on all manner of illnesses and all-round physical and mental decline. Not many therapies
can claim to be lifesavers and powerful rejuvenators as well!
Coming off the therapy at the right time has to be handled with care. Just when is the right
time is a tricky question. To stop too soon, before all the essential organs are restored is a great
mistake, likely to lead to a recurrence. In Dr.Gerson’s time rebuilding the body’s defenses after
cancer took some 18 months. Today that is no longer enough. The world is infinitely more toxic
and people are more seriously damaged than they were half a century ago; as a result, cancer
patients need two full years to recover on the therapy. Even that may not be enough for those who
have been pre-treated with chemotherapy prior to starting the Gerson protocol—it is difficult to
set a time limit for them.  (see Chapter 18 )
Patients suffering from non-malignant diseases which respond well to the Gerson Therapy
(see Chapter 19 ) can be fully healed in a year or 18 months, on a less demanding protocol than
the one prescribed for cancer patients.
While coming off the treatment too soon is dangerous, staying on it for too long doesn’t
seem to do any harm. Stopping the therapy has to be a gradual process. Provided all is going
well, juices, enemas and medication are slowly and gradually reduced, as set out in the Annual
Schedule, pg. 132. By the end of two years, patients may manage on 8 juices and one enema a
day; or, if the bowel function is regular on its own, one or two enemas a week. If this reduced
program feels comfortable, with no headaches, no constipation and no new symptoms, juices may
be cut down to 5 or 6 a day, and enemas dropped altogether. But as a ‘health insurance’, it is wise
to drink a few freshly made organic juices every day—indefinitely.
Eating Wisely
Changing over from the strict dietary rules to a more permissive regime also needs care.
During the treatment the body has got used to the best possible nutrition—fresh, pure, tasty 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 163Healing the Gerson Way—Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases
www.thegersonway.comorganic vegetarian food that is easily digested and provides all the necessary nutrients for health
and fitness. It would be a grave mistake to switch from such a wholesome diet to the so-called
normal variety, heavy with meat, poultry, cheese and chemical-rich convenience foods, and risk a
serious upset. Besides, in our experience, recovered patients with their “clean” systems don’t feel
tempted by such foods, even if during the long treatment they did fantasize about some “forbidden
fruit” or other. Above all, they find anything salty quite distasteful. On the saltless Gerson regime
their taste buds have recovered from the paralysis caused by the highly salty foods of the past;
now they find anything salty unpleasant and even offensive. (Just like former smokers, who find
it impossible to stay in a smoky room, let alone start smoking again.)
Of course once a recovered patient is in a truly good condition, with all systems working
well, it is all right to attend a banquet, a wedding, or a birthday celebration and “binge” a little.
But afterwards digestive enzymes should be taken for a few days, accompanied by a daily enema,
to get rid of the mess and feel good again. Please don’t discard your enema bucket. An “upside
down coffee”, in Gerson parlance, helps if you have a headache, a toothache, even an incipient
cold or a general malaise. Also, hang on to your Norwalk or other juicer, instead of switching over
to bottled juices; they won’t help to keep you well.
Patients who had been very seriously ill must take extra precautions to preserve their new-
found health. We suggest that however long they have been off the therapy, they should go back
on the full intensive program for two weeks twice a year. (Spring and Fall, the times of seasonal
changes are best for the purpose.) During those two weeks they should drink10-13 juices a day,
eat only freshly prepared organic foods, avoid animal proteins and take 3 or more enemas daily.
If this return to the strict Gerson protocol produces a healing reaction, which these patients would
recognize at once, the body is obviously clearing up some fresh damage, and the strict program
should be extended for another two weeks. If, however, no new symptoms pop up, the patient is
doing well and can stop the “refresher course” after two weeks.
The Art of Maintenance
Originally Dr.Gerson suggested that recovered patients should maintain their good health
by ensuring that 75% of their diet consisted of “protective” foods, namely organic fruit and
vegetables high in nutrients, vitamins, minerals and enzymes, to keep the immune system in
prime condition. The remaining 25% of food was to be “at choice”. Unfortunately this division
is no longer applicable, since the freely chosen foods would be far too damaging. We therefore
have to urge former patients to stay with 90% of “protective” foods, and have at most 10% of their
intake consist of freely chosen items.
Even so, they should NEVER return to fast foods, junk foods containing pesticides, food
additives and other toxic stuff, and most certainly not touch items such as hot dogs, spiced Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007.  All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.commeats and sausages laced with preservatives, or cheese—the very foods that contributed to the
breakdown of their health in the first place. However, if some serious dietary indiscretion occurs,
it is wise to go back on the full therapy for a few weeks and clear up the body, rather than risk
long-term damage. Needless to say, great care must be taken with alcohol; very occasionally a
little wine may be enjoyed, but only if it is organic. Commercially produced wines, made from
frequently sprayed grapes, are to be avoided.
If you know what to avoid and what to hang on to, maintenance quickly becomes an easy
and pleasant routine. And the answer to the question, “Is there life after Gerson?” is a clear and
resounding YES!Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007.  All rights reserved.

and two to three in the evening. With the above in mind, I always prefer
three capsules, two times a day,
A.M.
 and
P.M.
 It is better to have more
restorative intestinal herbs in your GI tract than less. You want the herbs
to do their cleaning and strengthening actions there. At the same time,
you don’t want to use laxatives or produce loose stools. Pushing your
food through too fast will void their proper digestion. If you want to be
more aggressive in your GI tract, you may wish to take a stomach and
bowel formula three times a day. However, the formula you use then
should have less stimulating herbs (like Cascara sagrada, Senna, and
Aloe) and more cleaning and healing herbs (like Plaintain, Marshmallow,
and Comfrey).

1-1809Synthetic, Toxic Food Additives Can Kill!
A vast amount of chemical poisons contaminate our
food. Most commercial interests are not concerned with
our health and lives. The economic bottom line is their
main concern. It’s best and safer to eat live, organicallygrown foods whenever possible. Avoid complicated,
chemicalized, preserved foods. Read the labels of all foods
you purchase! Ask questions about any special productsand foods you like – even write the company and ask
for a complete nutritional and chemical analysis.
Fast faithfully
24 – 36 hours weekly to rid yourself of
toxins and help your body stay healthy and clean. When
you don’t feel up to par (colds, flus, mucus, pains, aches,
etc.), then it’s time to take a 3, 5 or 7 day complete fast
and give your body a thorough body detox cleansing!
When you fast, your Vital Force is doing the cleansing.
•If you are going to keep your body clean, pure and
   healthy – you must faithfully fast regularly!
•When you fast, wonderful miracles will happenin your body!
•The body is cleansing, repairing and healing itself!
•Following a fasting regime of one day a week youwill feel greater than you have ever felt. Internal
cleansing puts you on the road to Super Health.
Beware of Harmful Salt
Would you use sodium, a caustic alkali, to season
your food? Or chlorine, a poisonous gas? “Ridiculousquestions,” you say. “Nobody would be foolhardy
enough to do that.” Of course not. But the shocking
truth is that most people do just that because they don’tknow that these powerful chemicals constitute the
inorganic crystalline compound known as salt. For
centuries, the expression “salt of the earth” has beenused to designate something good and essential. This
idea is erroneous! Salt may actually help to bury you!15
The Bragg Healthy Lifestyle followed daily will help you last a long lifetime!Salt: Some Startling Facts:
•Salt is not a food! There is no more justification
for its culinary use than there is for potassium
chloride, calcium chloride, barium chloride or any
other chemical on the druggist’s shelf.
•Salt cannot be digested, assimilated or utilized
by the body.  Salt has no nutritional value! Salt has
no vitamins, no organic minerals and no nutrientsof any kind!  Instead, it is harmful and causes trouble
in the kidneys, bladder, heart, arteries, veins and
blood vessels. Salt is the main cause of waterloggedtissues that cause swelling and edema (dropsy).
•Salt causes serious medical problems and can act
as a heart poison.  It also irritates the nervous system.
•Salt acts to rob calcium from the body, bones,
etc. and attacks mucous lining throughout the body.
If salt is so dangerous to health, why is it used so
widely? Mainly because it’s a habit ingrained over the
years. But it’s a habit based on a serious misconception
that the body needs it. Many people never eat salt andnever miss it (
we don’t own a salt shaker )! Your wise body
doesn’t want it. Once a person is free of the salt habit,
salt becomes repulsive to the taste as tobacco is to a
nonsmoker! Among certain animal species, salt acts as apoison (particularly in the case of fowl), and pigs have
been known to die after ingesting large doses of salt.
How Did the Salt Habit Originate?
 Gustav von Bunge, a biochemist, explains that in
prehistoric times there was a balance of organic sodiumand potassium minerals in the earth. But continuedrainfall over centuries washed away the more solubleorganic sodium salts. In time, many land-grown foodsand soils became deficient in sodium, but high inpotassium. The result was that animals and humansdeveloped a craving for something to replace thismineral deficiency. They found an ineffective and highly
dangerous substitute in salt (inorganic sodium chloride).16
Watermelon and its seeds (chew or grind them) contain cucurbocitrin
that helps reduce swelling (edema) due to excess retained water from
salt and the huge variety of salty processed foods Am ericans eat.Salt Causes Edema, Kidney Problems, etc.
Swallowing salt to obtain natural organic sodium is
like taking inorganic calcium to get calcium. Both are
chemicals and neither can be assimilated. All inorganic
chemicals cause all the body harm, digestive organs, etc.
That’s why the body sends out sudden SOS thirst signals,
calls for water, after salt is eaten! The stomach is reacting
to salt and demands water to quickly flush the salt outthrough the kidneys (page
55). Imagine what effect this
has on the delicate kidney filters. Millions suffer from
serious kidney problems! Of all body organs, kidneys are
most affected by salt. What happens when more salt is
eaten than kidneys can eliminate? The kidneys break
down, the excess salt is deposited in various body parts,especially lower extremities. To protect its tissues against
salt, the body automatically seeks to dilute it by pooling
water in needed areas to help flush out salt. As tissuesbecome waterlogged, swelling occurs in feet, ankles and
legs causing edem a and dr opsy. Salt
(sodium chloride ) also
causes puffy eyelids and water bags below lower eyelids.
Salt Affects Millions With High Blood Pressure
Salt is harmful to the kidneys and heart. In some heart
conditions even small amounts of salt are dangerous!
The heart muscle is governed by the balance of natural,
organic sodium (found in kelp, celery, fruits, vegetables, etc.)
and calcium salts in the blood. Salt upsets this vital
action, increasing the heartbeat and causing high blood
pressure which affects millions, plus liver and kidneydisease! Statistics show  Japan ese have hi ghest salt intake
and high bl ood pressure problem s. What cau ses this?
Medical Science recognizes many causes: salt, diet, stressand toxic substances as smoking, insecticides, drugs, food
additives and pollutants. To protect yourself from these
caustic agents, exclude all harmful agents possible fromyour environment. The major cause of high blood
pressure you can remedy: don’t eat salt, instead use kelp,
herbs, garlic and Bragg Aminos Seasoning.17
The best way to lengthen life is to avoid shortening it - stop salt!
It’s strange that some men will drink and eat anything put
before them, but check very carefully the oil put in their car.Are you in Health Bankruptcy? If so, you need a Health Overhaul!Up to now, we have been talking about causing high
blood pressure in the average person. But how about
the effects of salt on those millions suffering from our
country’s most prevalent ailment, obesity? Here is acritical area for research, because excess weight is known
to be frequently accompanied by high blood pressure.
Is there a link between the overweight individual’s highblood pressure and his salt intake? The answer is ahead!
The Myth of the “Salt Lick”
Is a low-salt diet a deficient diet? Don’t we need
plenty of salt in our diets to keep us in top physical
condition? This is a popular notion, but is it true? People
will tell you that animals will travel for miles to visit socalled “salt licks”.   I investigated salt licks where wild
forest animals congregate from miles around to lick the
soil. Although all of these sites were known as “salt licks”,the one chemical property they all had in common was
a complete absence of sodium chloride. There was
absolutely no organic or inorganic sodium at the saltlicks. But they all had an abundance of other organic
minerals and nutrients which the animals craved.
Why Cows are Given Large Amounts of Salt
A man who puts his investment in a dairy farm is in
it to make all the profit he can. Dairy farmers found by
giving cows salt blocks to lick, they drink more water.The more water they drink, the more milk produced.
Most cows are sick, mass fed and drugged!
web:nomilk.com
But the result is that the average quart of milk
contains the extremely high content of 12 grams ( 1,500
mgs) of salt per quart! Go past any American school and
look at the children. You will be amazed by how manyof them are overweight, lack stamina and the spark of
youth. Most are heavy drinkers of commercial milk, and
most foods they eat contain high concentrations of salt!18
Pure water is the essential fluid of life... the solvent of
our ills and the deliverer of a radiant long life.
Use your willpower and better judgement to select and eat
only the foods which are best for you, regardless of the ridicule
or gibes of your friends or acquaintances. – Dr. Richard T. FieldAmericans Are Salt-A-Holics!
Go into supermarkets and look at canned, bottled
and frozen foods. All of them are loaded with salt! Plus
there’s salt in milk, ice cream, prepared vegetables andmost commercial foods. Add it all up and you can see
why heart disease is the # 1 killer in America! We are a
nation of salt-a-holics! Cheese, frozen and cannedvegetables, breads, potato and corn chips, and most all
popular foods are saturated with salt. Even commercial
baby foods contain salt! Read labels! Don’t buy

 by talking about some new and exciting
medical technology, the advent of which causes us to question
things not just medically, but spiritually.
Do you remember the Hum an Genome Project that got so
much attention back in 2003? It was the world’ s first “blueprint” of the
human genome, allowing us a never-before-seen glimpse into the
way in which Nature has created our species. It was such a
revolutionary discovery that it was compared to when  man first
landed on the moon!
Anyway, I recently took a course that focused largely on the up-
and-coming directions of medical practice, and one of the highlights
was this busine ss of “genetic medicine” that I would love to touch on
with you here today. And it goes well beyond the Human Genome
Project into the realm of personalized genetic sequencing  as a
foreseeable standard of everyday medical care.
Believe it or not, in the next fifty years,  it is projected that every
single patient will have their entire genome sequenced and on recordin their family doctor ’s office. This will provide all sorts of information
that will allow us, as doctors, to personally tailor medical treatments
and diagnoses in ways we never previously imagined possible.
Medicine used to be based on a “one-size-fits-all” kind of
model. A patient would present with symptoms, and we would
prescribe an investigation plan, a treatment plan, and so on and so
forth on the assumption that this was most efficient and effective
method to return people to good physical health. But it turns out this
“one-size-fits-all” model really isn’t the most effective way of doing
things after all. And this is because everyone is unique, and
everyone respo nds differently. And much of this can be predicted by
a person’ s genes.
For example, there was a recent feature piece in the Globe and
Mail newspaper talking about genetic treatments for cystic fibrosis.8
The article described a new drug called Kalydeco, which, for the
select 4 percent of the cystic fibrosis population with a certain
genetic mutatio n (there are different genetic variants of the disease),
could change their whole life in an instant.
Normally, when a child is diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, their
quality of life is greatly diminished. However, if they have this
particular genetic variant and receive the drug, their entire life can be
turned around! So it is a powerful example of how individualized
treatment can save a life.
The caveat of what some call the “miracle drug” for cystic
fibrosis, though, is that it costs $300,000 per year for one patient in
Canada. But cost relates to the novelty of a treatment, and soon
genetic-based treatments are expected to be the norm and
accessible to everyone.Another example of the use of personalized genetic medicine—
this time in the area of cancer prevention—is Angelina Jolie’s story.
Magazines were covered with the news when Jolie decided to get a
double mastec tomy (both breasts prophylactically removed) because
her mother had been diagno sed with breast cancer and Jolie had
also been found to have the BRCA1 gene. This meant that, based
on her genetics, Angelina Jolie had an 87 percent chance of
developing breast cancer, and a 50 percent chance of developing
ovarian cancer.9
According to Huffington Post reporters, the amount of women
seeking breast cancer genetic screening has increased by 90
percent since Jolie went public about her procedure.5 It certainly
shows how genetic information, and a “personalized approach” to
medicine, can have huge advantages, both preventatively as well as
treatment-wise. And as it becomes more and more of a societal
norm, it will have greater and greater impacts on people.

NEALE: Think of all the thing s that will be happening in your life and
in your career... that are happening, I should say. That is
remarkable.

DR. COOPER: It totally is. But there is a reason I brought  that up. A
reason that goes far beyond the medical.
My larger, over-arching obse rvation is that what we have done
in medicine—in terms of creating a focus toward “individualized”
treatment plans and getting rid of the “one-size-fits-all” model—we
have done in many other areas of life as well. We have done it in
technology, developing personalized features on our cell phones,laptops, and tablets. We have done it in real estate, personalizing
our preferences in homes, locations, furniture and décor. We have
done it in education, tailoring our courses and our intere sts to our
unique personalities, goals, and desires.
But the one area it seems to me we have utterly failed to do this
is in our spirituality. Which may just be the most crucial area of all!
So my question becomes: What would it take for our culture to
encourage a personal relationship with God? In other words, what
would it take to promote unique and individual expressions of the
Divinity within each of us?
Spirituality seems to me to be the one area with the most
pressure to conform. This expectation exists so strong ly and so
powerfully that to even propose the idea of having a “conversation
with God,” as you did Neale, would likely be considered totally
absurd and even blasphemous. Yet it is clear to anyone who has
read even one of your book s how dramatically and beautifully that
experience changed your life.
Quite simply, our unique spiritual expression is the reason we
have come to the planet. Yet it is the area that receives the least
attention and the least validation; that is, our Cultural Story
encourages everything except a personal, two-way relationship with
God.
Surely, if we can devote all of that time and money to personally
sequencing each person’ s genome, we can devote even a fraction of
that to encoura ging each person to engage with and to connect with
their Highest Self spiritually. Or, is that asking too much?
 NEALE: The reason that very, very few people find themselves
motivated, inspired, or encouraged to develop an individuated
experience of their spirituality—a personalized two-way experience
of God—is that they have been encouraged not to, just as you
pointed out. But it’ s even greater than that.
Most people are not even aware that life is primarily a spiritual
experience; that the purpose of life in the physical has to do with the
spiritual experience of each human soul.
So the real larger reason that people don’t find themselves
motivated to create a person al two-way experience of God is that
they are not even clear that the purpose of life has very little to do
with their purely physical expressions. I wrote in The Only Thing That
Matters that 98 percent of the world’s people are spending 98
percent of their time on things that don’t matter.
So I am shockingly observ ant of the fact that the largest
number of people by far— not 60 or 70 percent, but 85 or 90 percent
of the world’ s people—are simply engaged in day-to-day life, week-
to-week creations, month-to-month manifestations, and year-to-year
goal-setting of what they’re trying to produce in their life. They are
striving and yearning and searching for what it is they imagine they
would like to experience in order to be “successful” and happy. And
the number of people, on a percentage basis, that understand that
the whole purpose of life on Earth is to move forward the Agenda of
the Soul is astonishin gly low. Given this, people would not be
motivated to create a personal experience of God.
The interesting  thing about what you’re bringing up is that, as
we increase our ability to keep people physically well, and maybe
extend their life expectancy—perhaps beyond what anyone in thismoment could even begin to imagine—the interesting thing about
that is this: Unless we lay the groundwork in the minds of human
beings that allows them to know that this creates an even larger
platform, an even more wondrous stage, upon which they can build
the outcomes that produce the experiences for which their soul
yearns —unless we cause them to see that—the longer lifespan and
the greater health maintena nce that we can produce with these
modern medical miracles will, if we’re not careful, actually work
against our whole reason for staying alive.
So the irony is that the reaso n for staying alive could very well
be defeated by the fact that we are creating ways for us to stay alive
longer and longer and longer. And that’s only true in the culture of
our particular species. That is, Earthlings, people, human beings.
Because we are a very, very young species.
The older, more mature species of sentient beings in the
universe are very well aware  that their ability to visibly physicalize
and interact with each other and with the rest of the physical
environment that we call the known universe is the greatest gift,
precisely because it gives them an unparalleled opportunity to
complete the Agenda of their Spiritual Selves— which can only be
completed in the Realm of the Physical. Or, if you please, in the
Realm of the Relative.
And so, the sentient beings elsewhere in the universe, many
species of which are far more mature than we are, are clear about
the golden treasure that is theirs. And they are living, of course, way,
way, way beyond anything we could imagine


ens the digestive load by switching to raw foods, the body suddenly  has more nerve energy to conduct emotions,
and emotions suppressed over the years begin to emerge. This unexpected ch allenge proves overwhelming for many people. Until
people learn to properly deal with their emotional baggage, it is likely tha t eating raw foods will allow uncomfortable emotions to
surface. They will find themselves going back to eating cooked foods for th e emotional “comfort” that they bring.
Emotional acceptance means that without distraction from televisi on, books, friends, music, food, etc. we sit quietly and
actually feel the emotion with full intensity where it lies wit hin our body. When instead we try to hide or distract ourselves from painful thoughts and feelings, we only suppress them more deeply, to be felt  (generally with greater intensity) at a later date. It is
important to realize that without the “negative” emotions, we could e xperience no “positive” emotions, as they are two sides of the
same coin. They are a part of us like all other parts, and by rejecting them  we only turn away from an aspect of ourselves that is
demanding our undivided attention.
The second type of emotional eating involves felt attachments to speci fic cooked foods. Such attachments often originate from
an attempt to recreate a past event or moment in our lives that we reme mber as positive and yearn to experience again. People often
find these emotions very difficult to overcome.
In the same way that drug addicts never successfully duplicate th e unique “high” of their first drug experience, no matter how
many times they try, eating cooked food never quite generates that speci fic emotional experience we are looking for. Instead, we get
disappointed, and then we eat more cooked food to numb our awareness of the disappointme nt.
It takes a lot of insight to understand that although those emotions are i mportant and the experiences were valuable, eating
cooked food will not bring them back. We must let them go and generate new positiv e experiences in the present moment.
People who are emotionally attached to cooked foods aren’t actually addicte d to them, since it is physiologically impossible to
be addicted to something that is harmful to us. The body simply is not put togeth er that way. It is designed to thrive and cannot
become addicted to a harmful substance. The human psyche, however, can becom e very much addicted to the shift in perception
that occurs after we ingest certain substances. A yearning for t hat shift in perception is the ever-present illusion that lures us  to eat
cooked foods.
If you eat cooked foods, you stand the risk of becoming an emotional vegetable— someone who becomes evermore
dependent upon their cooked food “fix.”

Another One Bites the Dust …
The following is an excerpt (slightly edited for space) from an actual post to my online discuss ion group on
VegSource.com. It exemplifies the stories I hear every time I meet someone who tr ies try to go raw without eating fruit.
Predictably, such people experience constant hunger, disordered eating, digestive problems fr om overeating nuts,
intense sweet cravings, a sense of needing to "fill the void” with poorly combined dehydrated sweets, ma ssive overdosing
on fats, guilt, low energy, and general dissatisfaction with food—and often bingein g and purging, as well.
See if you recognize yourself or someone you know as you read this candid account of a high-fat raw fooders who is
desperate to find a program that works. Especially take note of the second paragraph, where the author descr ibes her
conception of “a healthy, simple way of eating.” The diet she outlines probably  totals about 1,600 calories, and a minimum
of 40% fat … and her program devolves from there.

There is much I love about being raw. It makes a lot of sense to me and for the m ost part I feel much better than I ever did
eating cooked foods. What I do not love about the raw food lifestyle is the effect n uts and dehydrated foods have on my system. It
is very hard for me to find the right balance. When I do feel like I have f ound “the right way to eat” for me, an old inner demon
creeps in and pushes me off my center, which throws me into a tailspin.
When I began this second stint with 100% raw, it was very easy for me to go bac k to a healthy, simple way of eating. My diet
consisted of apple lemon ginger juice in the morning with powdered green f ormula, [with four large apples this might be 450
calories—DG]  lunch was usually a green salad with avocado and some kind of cultured veg etables, and dinner was some version
of the same or maybe a prepared raw meal from the market. [Two large salads combined would likely contain not more than
1,000 calories: 600 from two avocados and up to 400 from vegetables—DG]
I experimented with flaxseed and other dehydrated crackers to find they c ongested me (I would eat too many and get bloated
and constipated.) I started running more in April, and for a while I seeme d to find my groove with the food and exercise. I noticed
that I started to crave sweets, so I started adding more fruit to my diet li ke oranges and nectarines. But I am afraid the sugar in the
fruit had a negative affect on my body because now I can’t get off of t he raw sweet snacks. If I have a bag of dates I can easily go
through a pound of them, so I stay clear of those as best I can.
I also have a hard time controlling the quantity of nuts I consume. I tri ed my darnedest to not buy raw dehydrated nuts, nut
treats, and raw desserts. But the problem is that now that I allowed mysel f the sweet fruits and raw desserts I tend to want more.
I feel a bit ashamed to admit this, but I pretty much finished off an entir e jar of cashew nut butter in one sitting. My willpower
feels so small right now. It is amazing how different my personality a nd attitude can be. It feels like old cooked food demons are
creeping in. There is no way for me to keep fun foods in my home for fear that I w ill consume them all. I know the simpler the diet
the better, but often the will is weak and my body suffers.
About a month ago, my attitude went from enthusiastic and cheery to irri table. I felt very fatigued and hot tempered, and my
diet started going from clean to not so clean. My running decreased and was n’t as consistent as it had been, and my sleeping habits
started getting bad; I can’t wake up early anymore. My attitude has  not been very positive, and I feel depressed most of the time.  Concerned, I have started adding B 12  supplements and hemp seed oil. I can’t seem to get back to a clean way of e ating. I
almost feel like I need to get some sort of blood test to see if I am deficient in  any areas or to measure my level of candida. I do not
want food to be the deciding factor for how I feel. I really want food to be uni mportant. I want to remain raw … but eating to live,
not living to eat. I know that raw can work for me as long as I am able to either  stay away from those foods that are difficult to
digest or simply consume them in smaller quantities.

Isn’t it hard to go raw?
Learning how to eat a raw food diet properly takes time, patience, and yes, effor t. Although I provide a blueprint for doing it
healthfully, most people find it challenging to adopt the raw diet 100% the fi rst time out, unless they get professional guidance. It
seldom occurs overnight, and in fact, can take years to accomplish.
Because our taste buds have been exposed to, and our brains have experienced t he excitement of salt, sugar, and spices, we
may miss those tastes initially when they are no longer part of the da ily diet. However, most people find that the tradeoff for good
health and longevity is more than worth living without a few of the ha rshest flavoring agents.
Once the taste buds are no longer exposed each day to these stimulants an d excitotoxins, they once again develop an
appreciation for the taste of fresh fruits and vegetables. You can becom e an extremely discerning person, with taste buds that can
easily recognize the differences among various qualities of fruit.
Of course, it is far more pleasant to be healthy than it is to be sick, and far  less expensive, too. Weighing all factors with a
longer-term perspective, I would say it is easier to eat raw than eat c ooked.

What advice do you have for new raw fooders?
Those new to the raw food diet often fall victim to their own innocence, coupl ed with their inquisitive nature. Most people,
when trying a new diet, want to find out as much about it as possible, and often  as quickly as possible. The raw food diet, which is
so radically different from the others, often leaves people bewil dered about “what to do.” Nutritional and other health concerns can
overwhelm them, especially when social pressures about their diet fr om peers, family, and friends beset them.


 as ‘I am releasing the anger from x person hurting me’ or ‘I am releasing the guilt of (whatever the situation).’ Allow your mind to work with the body to help actively release and be free of these burdens!HUNGERThis is probably the thing people worry about the most when they think about whether or not to try a water fast.  I can tell you that in my case, the only real hunger I felt was in my mind!  If I thought about food or I saw or Warnings When Water Fasting
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!27smelled food, only then did I start to want it.  But my physical body really did not experience hunger pains.  If you do feel a lot of grumbling, ﬁrst try to drink more water.  Always drink small amounts of water at a time so you don’t wind up feeling sick.  Try to lie down, meditate and take your mind somewhere else.  Think about all the good you are doing for your body.  Know that this is your chance to heal in amazing ways.  Ask for strength from your Source.If you start to think about food, try as much as possible to NOT think about junk foods, comfort foods, de-vitalized foods, coffee or alcohol.  If you do this, you are creating the seed of energy in your mind to seek those foods out later.  For sure you will have a much harder time saying no to them once you break your fast.  Many people even think about such foods so much that they wind up breaking their fast on those very foods!Be careful what you think about.  If you start to fantasize about food, imagine yourself eating all the pure, divine foods from Mother Earth.  Visualize having the perfect fruit salad for breakfast, then imagine preparing the most delicious raw salad for lunch and watch yourself eating that wonderful dinner of mixed greens and garlic with a fresh basil pesto dressing.  Be creative and have fun in your mind, but keep it healthy!AVOID GOSSIP AND NEGATIVE TALKAs much as you possibly can, maintain a circle of supportive friends and loved ones around you during your fast.  If someone you know disagrees with what you are doing, don’t tell them right away.  If anyone is making you Warnings When Water Fasting
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!28feel less than the perfect person you are, politely avoid them during that time.  Realize that you will be much more sensitive to others and to your own feelings as well.  If someone really cares about you, they will understand and do everything they can to support you.Make a rule for yourself not to engage in any gossip or negative talk about anyone during your fast.  These energies spread like wildﬁre and a wildﬁre is very hard to put out.  Be positive and loving and you will attract more of the same into your life!Otherwise try spend a lot of time alone, reading books, watching health dvds, spending time in nature, keeping motivated and inspired and really connecting to your body.  I like the way that Daniel Reid talks about ‘saving your breath’ in his book, ‘The Tao of Detox’.  He explains how much energy is wasted simply from speaking and to consider talking as little as possible during your fast to keep that energy for your own healing.  It makes sense!REST EVEN WHEN FEELING GOODRest is one of the most important factors in a successful fast.  Give the body all the time it needs to do it’s internal healing.  If you start to feel really good, it can be very tempting to want to head out for a walk, run to the shops or meet some friends for an outing.  As much as you can, try to avoid this temptation!  Even when you are feeling good during a water fast, you should still rest as much as possible!  You will beneﬁt so much more in terms of how much your body can achieve with the fast if you rest, rest and then rest even more!Warnings When Water Fasting
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!29Chapter 4How to break a Water FastMENTAL PREPARATIONOnce you decide to break your water fast, the real work begins.  While you are fasting, you don’t have to face any bad eating habits, comfort foods or succumb to any social eating pressures.  But as soon as you start to eat again, you will be faced with these challenges.  The biggest challenge is, of course, to not overeat right away.  Be strong!  Mentally prepare yourself to break your fast slowly, gently and safely.  This is critical for your success.  Don’t even think about bingeing – you will be throwing all your good work down the toilet, not to mention that fact that you will make yourself sick!When you break a long fast, it is very important that you wake up the digestive system very slowly.  Your body is used to having nothing, so even one juice can make you feel very full.  Remember that as you plan your ﬁrst day of eating.KEEP IT SIMPLEOne of the biggest mistakes that people make when they break a fast is that they immediately start eating a lot of different foods, perhaps similar to the way that they ate before the fast. When you have only had water for a long period of time, any food, even healthy foods, will seem like a lot to the body, and several foods at once can become mayhem.  Often, a person will feel sick, too full and tired as their body desperately tries to digest all the incoming food.  Try to stay with mono-meals, meaning one or two types of fruit, juice or vegetables at a time, in the ﬁrst several days after the fast. Avoid all dried foods, dehydrated foods and packaged foods as much as possible.  If you don’t, you will most likely end up feeling tired and constipated. You might even get headaches from the overdose of food.The goal is to be gentle with the body and try to get the colon moving to avoid constipation. Dried foods will block up the colon. High-water content foods are easy to pass. Raw foods are best because they are high is enzymes and move most quickly through the digestive track.  You have never met someone so miserable and full of regret than a person who becomes constipated after a long fast. Don’t let this be you!Be sure to continue to drink plenty of water so you don’t become dehydrated as well.After every juice or meal, take one probiotic. Also take one probiotic at night before bed.  As you start to eat solid foods, you may also want to take 2 herbal laxatives at night before bed until you start becoming regular again.  I recommend Cascara Sagrada.How to Break a Water Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!31FIRST MEAL - SHORTER FASTPeople have different opinions as to what to break a water fast with.  Whatever you choose, make sure it is organic.  Personally I choose pomelo fruit, an Asian fruit very similar to grapefruit.  I recommend high-water content fruits and/or green juices to start with.  Grapefruit is a good choice because it has a low GI-index, so it will not overwhelm your body and pancreas with too much sugar.  In the beginning, always dilute your juice with 50/50 water.On my shorter 10-day water fast, the morning of my ﬁrst day of eating, I made about 200ml or 1 cup of fresh pomelo juice at around 10:00am and drank it 50/50 diluted with water.  After, I felt quite full, yet completely energized!  I waited until my body naturally showed a craving for more.  At about 2pm, I had some coconut water.  After each drink, I took one probiotic.At around 4pm, I ate one slice of the pomelo (or grapefruit) fruit.  At 6pm I ate one more slice, and at 8pm I had a ﬁnal slice.  That was all I had on the ﬁrst day.  I tried to keep it simple for my body – I don’t think it is a good idea to confuse your body with too many different foods, especially right after a fast.By evening time I started to feel pretty normal again.  I made a plan to do some light walking the next day to slowly introduce some exercise to my muscles again.Over the next few days, I ate much the same – some papaya, more pomelo, some cucumber – all simple, high-water content fruits.  I took a lot How to Break a Water Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!32of probiotics – every time I ate and also at night before bed.  I let my body tell me when it was hungry.  I avoided the temptation to eat just for the sake of eating.  My energy levels rose naturally and quickly.  I could feel the elixir of life pumping through my veins thanks to the pure foods I was giving my body.  The feeling of enjoyment from eating food after a pure water fast is indeed bliss!Many Natural Hygienists recommend to break a water fast on fresh watermelon.  In Thailand where I did my fasting, the watermelons are known to be heavily sprayed with pesticides and are even rumored to be injected with sugar and color dyes.  If you choose watermelon, be sure that it is organic.  If you are in a foreign country, ask around and plan what you will choose to break the fast with beforehand.  In Thailand, pomello is known to have very little and often no pesticides, so it’s as near to organic as

Cryostasis Hambo Lama Dashi-Dorzho Itigilova
In Buryatia, a few years of worship immortal Lama. Lama
Itigilov, who died 78 years ago, was removed from the place of burial
to a remarkable preservation. Scientists studied the body and now
claim that its tissue - like a living person. Lama Itigilov
survived much better than Lenin. Here is just one of the hypotheses - all of these
Miracles are somehow connected with the state of sleep. I already wrote that in a state
hibernation can stay microorganisms in their protective
shells, plants in the form of "naked" or in different shells, seeds,
and protozoa, in a state of suspended animation
in capsules, pods, shells and other protective devices.
Close to anabiosis is dormant - winter and summer.
fall into hibernation already cold-blooded and some types of warm-blooded
animals. But if the state of suspended animation is different in length
time, sometimes - the years and even centuries, the different hibernation
seasonal - winter or summer.
As will be discussed on the fallen man in suspended animation, and this
the only known case in Russia among people, then we
noting that in humans with this should be before entering
in suspended animation, during the occurrence, during a stay in suspended animation
and upon exit - and all this in comparison with the hibernation of hibernating
as the most studied phenomenon. So, before hibernating hibernation
animals lose a lot of water - through increased urination,
through the gastrointestinal tract, sweating, breathing. When
This gastro-intestinal tract is fully cleansed of microbes,
there are only "own" harmless microbes saprophytes,
that hibernate along with the "boss" and wake up
with him.
If the body of Hambo Lama after immersion in suspended animation contained
a water, then over many decades of stay in a wooden
crypt of water evaporated from the body and it would, at best,
would become a mummy. We are witnessing a saved turgor
(Softness, elasticity) of the skin Hambo Lama, the mobility of all
joints (retained fluid lubrication of the joints), muscle tone,
capable of holding the head and body in the lotus position. When
scratches on the skin made ichor pinkish color -
that is, liquid blood. Analysis of blood tests showed low levels of
hemoglobin in it - anemia. But it was a false indicator, then
we will explain why. Taken for study under an electron
microscope microparticles hair, nail plates, leather
have shown that cells from the body of Hambo Lama completely preserved
its internal structure (core, cytochromes, Golgi bodies, even
chemically very active lysosomes - "killer" microbes) and were
ready for action. Without the fluid that fills the space
52
52cells, a condition observed would not have been possible
- Cells would simply ssohlis.
So what is it for a neissyhayuschaya saving liquid?
Answer directly - it is glycerin! Scientists have long been known that when
inflow into hibernation, especially in winter, all the animals studied
water in the blood was replaced with glycerol. This polyhydric alcohol
as a necessary part of the body produces in it
by oxidation of fatty acids. It does not dry out, does not freeze at
cooling, not expanding and not "compressed" in a volume with a difference
temperatures - in general, contains all the keeping of the liquid
body, no matter where they were: in blood, joints, brain.
Water is also in cells in the blood, turning into ice during freezing
and expanding at the same time, that is increasing in volume, mechanical
would blow apart the cells and blood vessels.
Note that both the indigenous inhabitants of our North and Far
East are different from us, other Russians, amazing
Frost resistance: a severe frosts, they can walk without

The peoples of the Russian North and Far East, to which
owned and Buryatia, more blood than others, is contained
alcohols, mainly glycerol and ethanol, because they have, and it
found exactly in the blood are not the enzymes that destroy
alcohols. Consequently, they are genetically better adapted
to the transfer of colds.
But this adaptability in an age of brutal civilization
turns these peoples side: they are thus
unprotected from ethyl alcohol (vodka). That's why it's so fast

due to the absence of alcohol enzymes.
Sometimes the body of Hambo Lama shown on television naked
from the back. Some observant viewers noticed, probably
attention to the fact that the lower part of the body Hambo Lama appears edematous
and has a bluish-purple color. Hematoma? No, it's liquid blood,
gravity descended downward and transmission
through intact vessels - red blood cells in glycerol. If we take on
analysis of a drop of blood from this part of the body, the analysis did not show anemia, as
Analysis of the upper body, and even high levels of hemoglobin.
Just in the body of Hambo Lama happened uneven distribution
red blood cells under the influence of gravity - he for many decades
was in the same lotus posture. But this is traditional for
Buddhists, the lotus posture is, if I may say so, very
suitable for long-term presence in her man.

53If immersed in suspended animation, for example, the Orthodox, it
would put in the vault (tomb) in the supine position, and then on
the surface of his body in places where the skin predlezhat bones - and it is
occipital part, scapula, sacrum with coccyx, heel,
- In these places from the constant pressure would arise necrosis -
bedsores, as we see it in heavy lay motionless
patients. in the lotus posture is all the hard parts of the body, except
sacrum, outside pressure on them (selected), and accumulated
in the lower liquid nesminaemaya glycerol-red cells
"Cushion" safely and for a very long time, protects against pressure
and the sacrum.
In 2002, when extracting from the land of the crypt with the body of Hambo Lama
and the body itself, and a crypt were dry - no water allowed

For the crypt was used planks of the resinous
cedar, which is very resistant to rotting, boards have been very carefully
adjusted to one another, and the joints were certainly prosmoleny.
On the tarred nothing in the available materials were not reported,
but this is very logical, and it can be easily verified,
carefully examining the vault inside. Osmolka could be made
and fire and heated stones, or heated metal
subjects, and traces of them should stay.
Thorough preparation for the burial vault him as a man
suggests that care in suspended animation and preparing Hambo Lama, the most

  MCT a re strong fungicides.
 If more MCT are ingested than needed for liver energy then surplus fatty
acids are exported to the rest of the body in the form of water -soluble
ketoacids. These are suitable as a source of energy for mitochondria
damaged by microbes or acetaldehyde anywh ere in the body  but
especially in brain and muscles.
Ketoacids are the main component of a low -carbohydrate ketogenic diet
which provides energy for normal cells but starves microbes and cancer
cells. Ketoacids act as replacements for carbohydrates and ar e not
stored in the body; any surplus is expelled through the kidneys.
Therefore,  they do not cause any weight problems. Instead with
overweight they help to reduce weight while with underweight they
provide additional energy to gain weight. They also help  to overcome
chronic fatigue and muscle weakness.
A disadvantage of ketoacids can be increased acidity of the body which
may require additional bicarbonate. However, also the opposite may
occur, because ketoacids reduce the excessive production of lactic a cid in
cancer cells and other damaged cells the body may become more alkaline.  20
 Often  take coconut oil by mixing a spoon ful with most food. During  an
intensive therapy use 50 to 70ml daily. You may also mix it with other
oils, such as olive oil or linseed oil, and mix opened capsules of oil -
soluble vitamins and antioxidants with it.
Omega -3 Oils may be used  as fish oils, krill oil and linseed oil. We need
especially the long -chain fatty acids EPA and DHA. Many individuals can
make these internally from lins eed oil, but many others lack the
necessary enzymes. Therefore,  it is safer to use fish oil in addition to any
linseed oil. Krill oil is most easily absorbed and recommended for those
with underweight and malabsorption problems.  Halibut liver oil capsules
are especially high in vitamin A but need additional vitamin  D. When
using fish oils also take vitamin E  for antioxidant protection.
Linseed oil  or 'flax seed' oil contains 50% linolenic acid and 20% linoleic
acid. It must be cold -pressed, and when opening a new bottle add some
vitamin E from a capsule at a rate of about 2 -4 mg per ml of oil. When
starting a large bottle, immediately fill into several small bottles and
always keep refrigerated or  freeze for longer storage.
Ground linseed contains ab out 35% linseed oil and  is also
recommended to improve bowel activity. Preferably buy whole linseed
and grind it yourself in a coffee grinder immediately before use or
refrigerate or better freeze it for storage.
Fruits  need to be used with care. Commerc ial fruits may be heavily
sprayed, and their high sugar and acid content can cause problems for
individuals with a sensitive skin or low blood pressure. You may partly
neutralize fruit acids, with sodium bicarbonate, and use fruit containing
fat such as avocado or coconut cream. Normally, use fruit mainly before
or between meals. On the other hand, individuals with insensitive skin
and raised blood pressure do well with fruit and may often have just fruit
instead of a regular meal.
Breakfast  is commonly based on cereals. However, grain -based and sweet
foods cause problems for most individuals. Especially those with overweight,
Candida or blood sugar problems will do better using legumes and other 21
 proteins for breakfast, such as lentil or pea soup, or sprout salad, hommus
(from chickpeas), eggs, and nuts but also quinoa or chia seeds. Quick and
easy to prepare are split red lentils which do not need to be soaked.
You may also make a porridge or smoothie with protein powd ers such
as whey protein isolate, barley or wheat grass powder, spirulina,
chlorella, bee pollen, and the addition of any of the following: ground
linseed, chia seeds, seed yogurt, nut butter or soaked nuts and oily
seeds, fresh coconut or dairy cream, coc onut oil or grated coconut, olive
oil, avocado, egg or egg yolk, cheese or cottage cheese, lecithin,
bananas or other fruit.
Preferably cook any cereals or starches together with legumes, such as
lentils, peas, chickpeas or beans. Legumes also combine wel l with
vegetables as a cooked evening meal, as for instance lentil soup with
pumpkin, carrot, or sweet potato.
Sourdough bread ( e.g., spelt or rye) allows better absorption of minerals,
while gluten tends to be pre -digested and causes less problems than in
yeast baked bread.  But generally, if you do use cereals, use mainly non -
gluten grains, such as rice, millet, co rn and buckwheat, or arrowroot,
sago and tapioca.
Vitality of cooked food
Fresh raw vegetables are high in vitality. During cooking vital energy
released from fresh food may remain in the water but will escape together
with any steam. Therefore,  cook at l ow heat with a tight lid to minimize
loss of steam. During storage the content of bioenergy will gradually
diminish, but re -heating a cooked meal over 50°C will cause most of the
vital energy to be lost.
It has been known for over a century that each meal of cooked food
causes a temporary increase in white blood cells, a process called
‘digestive leukocytosis’ (also spelled leucocytosis). Leukocytosis
generally indicates an infection, inflammation, tissue damage or
presence of toxins. Leukemia is a for m of leukocytosis.  22
 Dr Paul Kouchakoff made the most detailed study of this phenomenon
which was presented 1930 to the First International Congress of
Microbiology in Paris. He found that leukocytosis does not happen after
eating raw food, and can also be p revented in cooked food by the
addition of at least 10% of fresh, raw food, see www.conscious -

blood -formula -of-man
The higher the food has been heated, the stronger is its negative effect
on the immune system. Processed foods and synthetic ingredients cause
an even stronger response than cooked whole foods. Up to a certa in
critical temperature, which is different for different foods but generally
about 90°C, no leukocytosis occurs. Amazingly, even water heated over
87°C causes leukocytosis. Furthermore, the quantity of heated food does
not matter. Even 50 mg has the same effect as a much larger amount.
My interpretation of this phenomenon is that it cannot be caused by the
destruction of enzymes in cooking, because then heated water would not
react. Therefore,  I believe that it is caused by the lack of bioenergy in
food he ated above its critical temperature. In addition to adding raw food,
cooked food may be re -energised by exposing it to energised water,
sunshine, magnets, crystal or pyramid energy, but that has not yet been
investigated. All of this is completely ignored by conventional research.
A good way of using vegetables is to blend or juice them, sip the juice
raw with, before and after the meal, and cook the residue (if it is not too
stringy). A high -speed blender may be best. This method is good for
leaves, carrot s, beets, potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin/squash and
similar veggies, and needs only a very short cooking time.
Low Carbohydrate Diet
As Candida needs carbohydrates as food, a good way to reduce its
activity, especially in the intestinal tract, is to go for one to two weeks on
a low carbohydrate diet. This is best done immediately before and during
the first part of the intestinal cleanse. This will keep blood sugar levels
low and restrict fungal growth in other parts of the body.  23
 Eat mainly meat, poultry, fish, eggs and protein powders such as
spirulina, wheatgrass powder, whey protein isolate (not concentrate!)
and possibly pea protein isolate. The healthiest way is to use organic,
grass -fed, or free -range products and eat them raw, e.g. as minced  meat.
This has all the necessary enzymes and vitality for digestion.
A recommended way to predigest raw flesh food and make it microbial
safe is to soak fish or minced meat overnight or for several days in
vinegar or lemon juice. For carbohydrates use lea f vegetables and some
legumes.
Vegetarians may use mainly green vegetables, such as spinach and
those of the cabbage family, rather than potatoes and cooked root
vegetables such as carrots. However, pumpkin/squash, fresh raw carrots
and other grated or ble nded raw root vegetables as well as raw vegetable
salads are slow -digesting and highly recommended. These may be
combined with sprouted legumes, such as lentils, mung beans, green
peas and chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans).
In addition,  continue using  about 5 x 1 tablespoon of virgin coconut oil.
