mourning is a normal process rather than resisting it. 7. Accept that all sentient beings  live by faith. Despite naive and
pretentious claims to the contrary, all people live solely by the
principle of faith—it is only a q uestion of faith in ‘what’. Faith  can
be p laced in th e illusory, the intellect, reason, science, progr ess,
political and worldly power, ego satisfactions, pleasure, wealth, or
hope (e.g., ‘tomorrow’). These fa iths are  all based on presumptions that can be eclipse d at any
moment because they are fragile beliefs. Even the hypothetical
‘nonbeliever ’ or  skeptic lives by faith in their own intellect, which, to
that person, represents ‘reality’. In the actual Presence of the Infinite
Reality, all such pretensions eva porate, as do all positionalities of a ‘this’
(self) believing in a ‘that’ (pr oposition). Reality is self-af firming by
virtue o f being Identity, within which the dualistic nature of all beliefs
falls away. Disassembly of Grief (and also of Desir e).The value or wo rth of desires reflects what they represent sym bolically
or as a class. T o see through the particulars to their perceived essence
facilitates withdrawal of attachment and therefore dif fuses both intensity
of w antingness and importance of loss. Each ‘thing’, person, or item that
is considered to be important is only valued by virtu e of its
representation of a more abstract quality. The grief at loss is thu s not due
to th e pa rticular but to an attractor field of consciousness of which it is a
symbolic representation. Each ‘thing’ reflects abstract qualities that can
be classified at progressive levels of abstractionSurrender of attachment is facilitated by appreciating that ‘value’ is a
superimposition that depends on abstract significance and what a thing or
attribute symbolizes. Thus, it will be found that a specific loss or gain
can be compens ated for by sub stituting an equivalent in the s ame or a
higher class. Some fo rms of grief have to do  with real or imaginary loss of personal
attributes, such as youth, physical strength, health, or even lost
opportunities and regrets over unfruitful pursuits, past failures, or
unfortunate choices. Grief over past errors or misjudgments resolve via
recontextualization as part of the learning process called ‘being human’. Regret i s also a consequence of giving reality to the hypothetical, e.g., “I
should have,”“I could have,” or  “If only I had chosen dif ferently,” etc. These a lso inclu de the illusion that the hypothetically ‘better ’ decision
would h ave brought benefit or greater happiness. These suppositions also
ignore that evolution is on a lear ning curve and that there are negative as
well as positive  unknown karmic influences on choices. There is an
inherent fallacy in the propositi on that “I could have” or “should have”
because, in reality, if one really “could have,” they obviously “would
have” if all conditions were favorable to a better choice. Compassion for  self as well as the nature of human life is conducive to
the h ealing process. Grief is con sequent to clinging to prior per ceptions. There is major b enefit from making the decision to rededicate o neself to
the pres ent and focus on it without making value judgment s or dire
presumptions about the future. If unimpeded, the human psyche is
creative and inventive. Each level of consciousness has its own innate
problems but also its concordant solutions. The desire to undo the past is
understandable but futile and blinds one to the opportunities of the
present. A limitation in one area of life is simultaneously the op ening of
opportunities and options in other areas. Loss often turns a person from
looking without for happiness to turning within for reevaluation of assets
and prev iously b ypassed choice s. Thus, loss can be turned to p rofit as a
spur to spiritual  growth and evolution. That a loss can be a ‘blessing in
disguise’ takes time to ripen into a discovery. The refusa l of the
opportunity leads to bitterness and a devolution of the intrinsic  value of
life. Ac ceptance of the vicissitudes of human life leads to greater
understanding and compassion. Love is the opportunity to surrender the personal will to God and to
reassess what is the overall purpose of the gift of human life. The Dualities of Grief. While so me deg rees of grief are  inevitable in the course of life, chronic
Grief req uires re linquishment of  dualistic positionalities upon which it is
based as a long-term attitude or prevailing state of consciousness.CHAPTER 5. Fear. (Calibration Level 100). Intr oduction. At t he l evel of 100, more life ener gy is available. Fear of danger runs
much of  the world, spurring on endless activity. Fear of enemies, old age
or death, and rejection, along w ith a multitude of social fears, is a basic
motivator in the lives of most people. From the viewpoint of this level, the world appears hazardous, filled
with tra ps and threats. Fear is the favored of ficial tool for co ntrol by
oppressive totali tarian agencies. The proliferation of fears is as limitless
as th e human im agination. Once one focuses on fear, the endles s fearful
events of the world feed it. Fear becomes obsessive and may take any
form, e.g., fear of the loss of a relationship leads to jealou sy and a
chronically high  stress level. Fearful thinking can balloon into paranoia
or g enerate neurotic defensive s tructures, and because it is cont agious, it
can become a dominant social trend. Fear lim its grow th of the person ality and leads to inhibition. Because it
takes ener gy to rise above Fear, the oppressed are unable to reach a
higher le vel without assistance. Thus, the fearful seek strong leaders who
appear to have conquered their fear to lead them out of its slavery. Fear is an emotion, but as a pervasive lifestyle, it is limiting. Realistic
fear (i.e., caution) subserves survival in contrast to irrational fears, which
indicate psychol ogical intrapsychic problems. Socially serviceab le fear is
an a ccepted and normal concom itant to all human life. Its pervasiveness
is expre ssed in almost every area of life, from locked doors and fire
alarms to health and eating habits and the whole financial structure of
society. In addition, it is a recurrent focus of the media where it plays a
major role in human af fairs, especially survival. From an evolutionary viewpoint, fear arose as a requisite of animal
survival, which, in the human, p rogressed through capacity for cognition
into expressions that have meaning, including expression as
abstractions. The capacity to analyze and abstract the perception of time and its
concept of the f uture provides an endless variety of real or i maginary
conditions along  which fear can be projected. Thus, the multi plicity of
fears promulgates endlessly via the mechanism of imagination and
fantasy. Whereas guilt, shame, and regret represent the past, fear is an
anticipation that is focused on the future. Because the basic mechanism of fear is of animal origin and a
prerequisite to survival, it


 Bowel Management and The Doctor -Patient
Handbook, and was doing a lot of reading on self -healing. During the January 13 trauma, the only thing I could think to use was
the lemon juice, cayenne pepper, maple syrup and water cleanse which I did for one week while I was scurrying around getting a
colema board and making numerous phone calls to find out where to get the supplements for the cleanse. I had no one to advise me
on anything as no one in my home area knew anything about it. Needless to say, I learned the hard way. That 7 -day fast was
followed by a 7 -day intensive cleanse, than the usual maintenance program advised by Dr. Jensen. I couldn’t remember feeling so
terrific for a long time. My energy was great, the color came back to my skin and my eyes started to turn blue again. Rest is
advised during the cleanse but as I was self employed, I found those weeks t o be the busiest weeks of my entire career. I had so
much energy I just did not want to rest. I do Latin -American and ballroom dancing and on those three Saturday evenings during
the cleanse, I danced from 8 pm to 1 am non -stop. After the first week, I was  asked if I had been to Florida as people said I looked
so rested and had such good color. When I told my friends what I was doing, most panicked and were full of good advice as to
what I should or should not do. They said it wasn’t good for me to go witho ut food; I would get too weak; I would get too thin;
and I was even told I would die. They had to admit that I looked terrific, but still the pressure came forward. I had to be r eally
strong and know that I was doing the right thing. I have done six intens e cleanses (Jensen’s method) since January 1982. When I
start to feel lethargic and ache all over, I know I have another build up of toxins. I get bored of doing the cleanse (taking  the
supplements mostly) after the 6th day and want to stop, but when I see  what I am expelling, I am motivated to continue. If I can
get rid of lumps on my breasts, restore the color of my eyes to blue, have great skin color and tone, abundant energy and gen erally
feel great, anyone can. Patient M.T., Male, Degenerative Bowel Condition
I began the tissue cleansing treatments on September 8, 1982, and have continued with one colema every day since that time. I
have had a degenerative bowel condition for some time, and the most spectacular result of the tissue cleansing has been the
unbelievable material I have passed from my bowel. Patient R.D., Male, Psoriasis
Since 1971, I had has psoriasis of the head area. On the fourth day of my tissue cleansing program, about 80% of the scales c ame
off. This has never happened to me before. I was happy to have a small healing crisis during the 7 -day tissue cleansing program at
Dr. Jensen’s Ranch. When the fever, headache and eye aches began, I took a colema and passed much mucus and rubbery material. I felt much better, but later it returne d. Another colema was taken, and this time about one or two quarts of rubbery fecal material
passed out, leaving me free of symptoms. That night I passed mucus from my eyes, with a slight eye ache, but no fever or
headache. Patient A.M.B., Female, Rheumat oid Arthritis
When I began the tissue cleansing program, I could hardly use my hands. My left knee was so swollen I couldn’t move it. Durin g
the program, my hands became more flexible, and the swelling and soreness in the palm of my right hand improved. Th e swelling
in my knee decreased until I could walk without pain. My back is not aching all the time now and seems stronger. My feet aren ’t
so tender on the bottoms. Patient V.P., Male, Heart Condition
Before I took the tissue cleansing program, I had had a stroke, and my left arm was paralyzed. I arrived at the Ranch in a car
driven by my wife. I was sitting in a reclining position from which I couldn’t get up without severe stomach pain, and my fac e was
pulling on one side as if stretching my mouth up. On ly a few days before, I would wake up in the morning upset because life just
didn’t seem worth facing. In four days I was able to climb into the shower by myself, put myself on the colema board and get off
unassisted. I was able to get around without my ca ne. I began to wake up happy in the mornings, able to get up from a reclining
position without pain. My legs seemed smaller, not as much swelling. It was hard for me to believe the stuff that was coming out
of me during the colema. Toward the end of the pr ogram, I seemed to develop a little feeling in my paralyzed left arm. At the
hospitals and nursing home, I never felt better, but during the tissue cleansing program at the Ranch, I continued to improve
steadily. Patient M.S., Female, Degenerative Lymph C ondition
Three years ago I was told that I had a dangerous lymph condition which was treated and went into remission. I was very thank ful
but disappointed from the fact that although the condition had gone into remission, the cause was never explained, nor  was it
treated, but merely the symptoms. A short while after this I happened to hear about Dr. Jensen’s tissue cleansing program. I read
his book on the subject and, in my opinion, everything made sense. I went on the program in December 1982. The elimina tion was
unbelievable during my first 7 -day cleanse. I have since been on two more 7 -day cleanses using the maintenance program in
between each. The results were amazing! I no longer felt lumps under my arms or in my groin. My breathing was clearer. I felt  as
if my whole body was becoming unclogged. My eyes became brighter and my skin softer and smoother. The veins in my legs are
disappearing. I very rarely have depression as before. My hair and nails are in the best condition ever. I know I will never get any
degenerative disease again as long as I eat the proper foods and keep my colon clean! Patient H.E., Female, Scleroderma
I was diagnosed as having scleroderma in 1972 by a doctor who surgically removed a large calcified lump near my elbow. Scleroderma is a progressive skin disease often involving the internal organs such as heart and kidneys. I had a thickening of the
skin and underlying tissue, great sensitivity to cold, a raw throat, dryness of lips and mouth, shortness of breath, fatique and vague
joint and muscle aches. In 1974, a doctor prescribed Potaba capsules, and this, in conjunction with biweekly chiropractic
treatments, was effective in softening the skin and reducing muscle spasms. On April 17, 1982, I started Dr. Jensen’s 7 -day
cleansing pr ogram. By the end of the week, I noticed my skin was softer, the swelling had reduced in my hands and fingers and the
red areas on my legs had faded. On the follow -up maintenance program, I found my mental outlook improved and I had increased
tolerance to cold weather. Patient S.D., Female, Anemia
When I started the tissue cleansing program, my lab blood test showed a red blood cell count of 3.84 (normal is 4.8) and a
hemoglobin of 10.7 (normal is 14.0). I had been tired much of the time for the past sever al months and had lower back and neck
pains. Chiropractic treatments didn’t help. At the end of the 7 -day program, my back felt much better, and I began taking
supplements recommended by Dr. Jensen. A month after my first blood test, a second blood test sh owed my red blood count was
up to 4.47 and my hemaglobin was 12.8. My energy is much better, and the fatigue is gradually leaving. Patient E.P., 70 -year-old Female, Arthritis
The doctor who treated me said that drugs would bring the only relief for the terrible pains in my neck. So I took Percodan and
Bulazolidin for pain; Phenylbutazone, a steroid, once a week and Ascriptin daily. I was told to eat anything I wanted, that c offee
and diet had nothing to do with arthritis. I took these prescriptions for o ne year and still was not getting much relief. Then I
changed direction. I started a nutritional program, an elimination program and natural food supplements. I was asked to drop all
drugs, much to my reluctance. I started trembling, and withdrawal symptom s developed. Nevertheless, I went right into the
program outlined by Dr. Jensen. Within a week, I found myself free of pain and feeling very well without drugs. One -and-a-half
months later, feeling exceptionally good, I suddenly developed a fever of 105 de grees, swollen face and eye, with a headache such
as I had never experienced before. I thought my


 in transforming  ourselves, the  world  will
melt magically before  our eyes and  reshape itself in harmony with that
which our transformation affirms. We fashion the  world  that surrounds us by the  intensity of our imagination
and feeling, and   we illuminate  or darken our lives by the  concepts we
hold of ourselves. Nothing  is more important to us than our conception of
ourselves, and  especially is true  of our concept of the  deep, dimensionally
greater  One within us. Those  that help  or hinder  us, whether  they know  it or not, are  the ser-
vants of that law which shapes outward  circumstances in harmony with
our inner  nature. It is our conception of ourselves which frees or con -
strains us, though it may use  material agencies to achieve  its purpose. Because  life molds the  outer  world  to reflect the  inner arrangement of our
minds, there  is no way of bringing  about the  outer  perfection we seek
other  than by the  transformation of ourselves. No help  cometh from with -
out: the hills to which we  lift our eyes are  those  of an inner range. It is thus to our own consciousness that we  must turn as to the  only reali -
ty, the  only  foundation on which all phenomena  can be  explained. We can
rely absolutely on the  justice of this law to give  us only that which is of
the nature  of ourselves. To attempt to change  the world  before  we change  our concept of our -
selves is to struggle against the  nature  of things. There  can be no outer
change  until there  is first an inner change. As within, so without. I am not advocating  philosophical indifference when I suggest that we
should  imagine  ourselves as already that which we  want to be,  living  in
a mental atmosphere  of greatness, rather  than using  physical means and
arguments to bring  about the  desired  changes. Everything  we do, unaccompanied  by a change  of consciousness, is but
futile readjustment  of surfaces. However  we toil or struggle,  we can re -
ceive no more  than our concepts of Self affirm. To protest against any -
thing which happens to us is to protest against the  law of our being and
our ruler  ship over our own destiny. The circumstances of my life  are too closely related  to my conception of
myself not to  have been formed  by my own spirit from some  dimensional -
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenly larger storehouse  of my  being. If there  is pain to me  in these  happen -
ings, I should  look within myself for the  cause, for I am moved here and
there  and made to live  in a world  in harmony with my concept of myself. If we would  become  as emotionally aroused  over our ideas as we be -
come  over our dislikes, we would  ascend  to the  plane  of our ideal as easi -
ly as we  now descend  to the  level of our hates. Love and hate have a magical transforming  power, and  we grow through
their exercise into the  likeness of what we  contemplate. By intensity of
hatred  we create  in ourselves the  character  we imagine  in our enemies. Qualities die  for want of attention, so the  unlovely states might best
be rubbed  out by imagining  "'beauty for ashes and  joy for mourning"
rather  than by direct attacks on the  state from which we  would  be free. "Whatsoever  things are  lovely and  of good  report, think  on these  things,"
for we  become  that with which we are  en rapport. There  is nothing  to change  but our concept of self. As soon as we  suc-
ceed in transforming   self, our world  will dissolve  and reshape itself in
harmony with that which our change  affirms. I, by descent in consciousness, have  brought about the  imperfection that
I see. In the divine  economy nothing  is lost. We  cannot lose  anything
save by descent in consciousness from the  sphere  where  the thing has its
natural life. And now, O  Father, glorify thou  me with thine  own self with the  glory
which I had  with thee before  the world  was." John 17:5. As I ascend  in consciousness the  power  and the glory that was mine  re-
turn to me  and I too will say "I have  finished  the work thou gavest me  to
do." The  work is to return from my descent in consciousness, from the
level wherein I believed  that I was a  son of man, to the sphere where I
know  that I am one  with my Father  and my Father  is God. I know  beyond  all doubt that there  is nothing  for man to do but to change
his own concept  of himself to assume  greatness and  sustain this assump -
tion. If we  walk as though we  were already the  ideal we serve, we  will
rise to the  level of our assumption, and  find a world  in harmony with our
assumption. We  will not have  to lift a  finger  to make it so, for it is already
so. It was always so. You and I have  descended  in consciousness to the  level where we now
find ourselves and we see imperfection because  we have descended! When we  begin to ascend  while here in this three  dimensional world, we
find that we  move  in an entirely different environment, we have  entirely
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havendifferent circles of friends, and  an entirely different world  while still living
here. We  know  the great  mystery of the  statement, "I am in the  world  but
not of it." Instead  of changing  things I would  suggest to all to identify themselves
with the  ideal they  contemplate. What would  the feeling be like were you
of too pure  eyes to behold  iniquity  if to you  all things were pure and you
were without condemnation? Contemplate  the ideal state and identify
yourself with it and  you will ascend  to the  sphere  where  you as Christ
have your natural life. You are still in that state  where  you were before  the world  was. The  only
thing that has fallen is your concept of self. You  see the  broken parts
which really are  not broken. You  are seeing  them through distorted  eyes,
as though you  were in one  of those  peculiar  amusement gallery's where
a man walks before  a mirror and  he is elongated, yet he  is the  same man. Or he looks into another  mirror and  he is all big  and fat. These  things
are seen today because  man is what he  is. Toy with the  idea of perfection. Ask  no man to help  you, but let the prayer
of the  17th chapter  of the  Gospel of St. John be  your prayer. Appropriate
the state that was yours before  the world  was. Know  the truth of the  statement, "None  have I lost save  the son of perdi -
tion." Nothing  is lost in all my holy mountain. The  only thing  that
you lose is the  belief in loss or the  son of perdition. "And for their sake I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified
through the  truth." John 17:19
There  is no one  to change  but self. All you  need do to make men and
women holy in this world  is to make yourself holy. You  are incapable  of
seeing  anything  that is unlovely when you  establish within your own
mind's eye  the fact that you  are lovely. It is far  better  to know  this than to know  anything  else in the  world. It
takes courage, boundless courage, because  many this night, after hav -
ing heard  this truth will still be  inclined  to blame  others for their predica -
ment. Man finds it so difficult to turn to himself, to his own consciousness
as to the  only reality. Listen to these  words:
"No man can come  to me,  except the  Father  which hath sent me to draw
him." John 6:44. "I and  my Father  are one." John 10:30. "A man can receive  nothing, except it be  given him from heaven." John
More Free Books Law of Attraction Haven3:27. "Therefore  doth my Father  love me, because  I lay down my life, that I
might take it again." "No man taketh it from me,  but I lay it down of myself." John 10:17,18. "You did not choose  me, I have  chosen you." My concept of myself molds
a world  in harmony with itself and  draws men to tell me  constantly by
their behavior who I am. The most important thing  in this world  to you  is your concept of self. When you  dislike  your environment, the  circumstances of life  and the be

        Look around you
for needs waiting to be filled. Imagine if we had a great invention
to do this, or imagine if we had a great invention to do that. Look
for the needs, and then imagine and think their fulfilment into
being. You don't have to work out the discovery or the invention. The Supreme Mind holds that possibility. All you have to do is
hold your mind on the end result and imagine filling the need,
and you will call it into being. As you ask and feel and believe,
you will receive. There is an unlimited supply of ideas waiting
for you to tap into and bring forth. You hold everything in your
consciousness. "Divine Mind is the one and only reality. " So whichever way you look at it, the result is still the same. We are
One. We are all connected, and we are all part of the One Energy
Field, or the One Supreme Mind, or the One Consciousness, or
the One Creative Source. Call it whatever you want, but we are all
One. If you think about the law of attraction now, in terms of us all being
One, you will see its absolute perfection. You will understand why your negative thoughts about some-
one else will return to harm only You. We are One. You cannot
be harmed unless you call harm into existence by emitting those
negative thoughts and feelings. You have been given free will to
choose, but when you think negative thoughts and have nega-
tive feelings, you are separating yourself from the One and All
Good. Think about every negative emotion there is and you will
discover that every one of them is based in fear. They come from
thoughts of separation and from seeing yourself as separate from
another. Competition is an example of separation. First, when you have
thoughts of competition, it is coming from a lack mentality, as
you are saying there is a limited supply. You are saying there is JOHN ASSARAF

not enough for everybody, so we have to compete and fight to get
things. When you compete you can never win, even if you think
you won. By the law of attraction, as you compete you will attract
many people and circumstances to compete against You in every
single aspect of your life, and in the end you will lose. We are all
One, and so when you compete, you compete against You. You
have to get competition out of your mind, and become a creative
mind. Focus only on your dreams, your visions, and take all compe
tition out of the equation. The Universe is the Universal supply and supplier of everything. Everything comes from the Universe, and is delivered to you
through people, circumstances, and events, by the law of attraction. Think of the law of attraction as the law of supply. It is the law that
enables you to draw from the infinite supply. When you emit the
perfect frequency of what you want, the perfect people, circum-
stances, and events will be attracted to you and delivered. It is not people who are giving you the things you desire. If you
hold that false belief, you will experience lack, because you are
looking at the outside world and people as the supply. The true

appened after they had engaged on the pearling vessels and began to use the foods provided
there. In the native school on Thursday Island twenty-three children were examined. They were
living in homes in which a considerable part of the food was purchased at the company stores. The
incidence of tooth decay was 12.2 per cent of their 664 teeth. Many of these Thursday Island
children had been born since their parents had begun using the commercial foods provided to the
islanders. Among twenty-three individuals, 43.5 per cent had abnormal dental arches.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 117/250    While these investigations were planned and carried out primarily to obtain data on the condition
of the native races in contact with modern white civilization, wherever possible, data were obtained
on the whites also. In a school for whites on Thursday Island, fifty children were examined with
regard to their dental arches, but an embarrassing situation was encountered with regard to the
sensitiveness of the whites in the matter of having their children examined for dental caries. Figures
were obtained for the facial development which reveal that, out of the fifty children examined, 64
per cent had irregularities of facial and dental arch development. In the upper half of Fig. 62, will
be seen a group of children photographed in the native school, and in the lower a group of white
girls photographed at the white school. The difference in their facial development is readily seen. The son of the white teacher (Fig. 66, left) had marked under development of his face. The white
population lived largely on canned food. FIG. 62. School children from the two groups on Thursday
Island. Note the beautifully proportioned faces of the
natives, and the pinched nostrils and marked disturbance in
proportions of the faces of the whites. The dental arches of
the natives are broad, while many of the whites have very
crowded teeth. The parents and children of the natives used
native foods while the parents and children of the whites
used the modern imported foods of commerce. 7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 118/250    Hammond Island adloins Thursday Island sufficiently close by to be easily reached in small
boats. Accordingly, the people of this island have access to the stores of the white settlement on
Thursday Island. Unlike Thursday Island, Hammond Island is quite fertile. Of twenty-seven
individuals, all of native stock, 16.5 per cent of their 732 teeth had been attacked by dental caries,
and 40 per cent of the individuals showed some deformity of the dental arches. After examining the
children at the mission school, I inquired whether there were not families on the island that were
living entirely isolated from contact with modern influences. I was taken to the far side of the island
to an isolated family. This family had continued to live on their own resources. They were raising
vegetables including bananas, pumpkins, and pawpaws. In the cases of the three girls in the family,
one with a child five months of age, only six of their eighty-four teeth had been attacked by tooth
decay, or 7.1 per cent, as compared with 16.5 per cent for the entire group on this island. These
three girls all had normally developed dental arches and normal features. Three of the girls are
shown in Fig. 63. We inquired about the mother and were told that she was out fishing,
notwithstanding the fact that the sea was quite rough. While we were there, she came in with two
fish (Fig. 63). Here was one of the principal secrets of their happiness and success in life. The
Catholic priest who had charge of the mission on this island told me that this family practically
never asked for assistance of any kind, and was always in a position to help others. They were
happy and well nourished. It is important to note that the progressive degeneration in facial form
which occurred in many of the families on the other islands was not found in this family. FIG. 63. These pictures tell an interesting story. The
grandmother shown in the lower right knew the importance
of sea food for her children and grandchildren and did the
fishing herself. Note the beautiful teeth and well formed
faces of her daughters. The incidence of dental caries ranged from 20.6 per cent of all of the teeth examined for the
various age groups on Badu Island to 0.7 per cent, on Murray Island. A group of individuals from
this island will be seen in Fig. 64. Note the remarkable width of the dental arches. Note also in this
connection that the natives of this island are conscious of the superior food of their locality and
wish that their people were not required to purchase food from the government store. The island is
situated on the Barrier Reef and has an abundant supply of small fish. The swarms of fish are often
so dense that the natives throw a spear with several prongs into the school of fish and when the
spear is drawn back, there are several fish on it. This condition provides abundant food for sharks
many of which could be seen surrounding the schools of small fish. Encircling the group, they
dashed in, mouths open and gorged themselves with the mass of fish from the water. It seemed
quite remarkable that the people were willing to go into the water to spear the fish within the zone7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 119/250frequently approached by the sharks, but I was told by the natives that when the fish are so
abundant the sharks never attack human beings. One of the natives rowed me in his canoe to a
point where I could photograph the sharks at close range. To show his disdain for the shark, he
had no hesitancy in standing up in the end of the canoe and hurling his spear into the side of the
monster. The spear was immediately thrown out by the shark, which had not been frightened
sufficiently to make it leave the scene of action. The sharks in my pictures were swimming so close
to the shore that the upper part of the tail was forced out of the water, also the back fin, in order to
clear the bottom. It was a great revelation to watch the movement of the tail. Instead of swinging it
from side to side like other fish, with which I was familiar, the shark would rotate its tail half or
three quarters of a turn in a motion like that of a propeller of a boat, then reverse the motion for the
return trip. By a sudden increase of speed in this motion, the shark could dart ahead at a rapid
rate, corral the small fish by encircling them, and finally make a dash through the school with its
mouth open. Hundreds of the small fish, in order to escape, dart out of the water into the air. This
exposes them to the birds, a flock of which follows the sharks when they are feeding on the fish. The birds dive down at the time they see the shark making his raid and catch the small fish as they
dart out of the water. It is by the birds of prey that the native fishermen from their lookout locate
the schools of fish. While there is a difference of opinion as to whether some species of shark will
attack human beings, we saw one pearl diver who bore enormous scars received from the jaws of
a shark. FIG. 64. Natives on the islands of the Great Barrier Reef. The
dental arches here teach a high degree of excellence. The procedure on one island is to snare the sharks by calling them by means of special sounds
made by clapping together two large half shells on the surface of the water. This attracts the shark,
and then the men one at a time go into the water with a sharp stick with which they guard
themselves against attack. A noose made of rope of coconut fiber is slipped over the shark's head
and over the back fin. It is then allowed to tire out and is brought to shore. It was not unusual in a
good season for the shark fishers to bring in three or four in a night's fishing. The strength of the
native swimmers is almost beyond belief. The pearling boats are frequently in great danger of being
dashed to pieces on a coral reef, since in those waters gales of fifty miles an hour are frequent. We
experienced some such gales. On one occasion, when a pearling boat was wrecked some distance
from an exposed rock, one strong swimmer rescued and helped two dozen of the crew to the
rock, and was himself rescued after being in the water continuously for thirty-two hours. The
pearling boats feed their crew largely on commercial provisions. When the men have been
continuously on the boats for one or two years, or often when they have been at sea using this
food for six months, they have rampant tooth decay. When the cavities approach or reach the pulp7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

This seems the more likely when we remember that man's
sense of values, of right and wrong, has always changed from
generation to generation and from place to place. It is exciting to reflect that life and the Universe are not static
but active-evolving and searching for better ways to do things. And it is fortunate for mankind that there are no hard and fast
answers to the problems of humanity. On the contrary, man has
infinite scope to learn more about Nature's laws and to apply
them to a better understanding of human behaviour. * * *
The experimental findings recorded in these pages are the
first stepping-stones on a long journey into the unknown
guide-posts for further adventures in science. They indicate that the Universe is an ordered system, the
human organism an ordered component. Law and order prevail
from the biggest to the smallest; and to suggest that there is any
chaos is merely to display our lack of information. In short, the Universe has meaning and so have we. Though
we do not understand it, the meaning is there. The continuing
adventure of science and of ourselves is to seek, through the
Field Concept, an ever-grea ter understanding of the changing,
growing meaning of life. 133 PART II

earth potentials temporarily go 180 degrees out of phase with
each other. Examples of these can be seen in Figure 1-
In summary, it is seen that the electrical environment correl
ates with tree potentials while the more obvious meteorological
parameters such as light, temperature, and pressure do not in any
immediate sense. 3
The absolute range of Burr's tree potentials is 0 to 500 milli
volts. Sign is arbitrary and defined initially by Burr making the
upper electrode positive. Polarity can reverse with changes in
season or large perturbations in potential. Typical values until
1963 were 20 to 100 mY, and subsequen tly 200 to 400 mv. The
reason for this increase is unknown. The most obvious characteristic of tree potential records is a
diurnal cycle, easily seen by inspection. This cycle is typically a
minimum in the early morning hours and a maximum during
the afternoon. It may vary in magnitude and in phase from day
to day, while larger magnitude and phase differences are apparent
from season to season. The range of diurnal variation of tree potentials during the
winter months is two or three times that of the summer. The
magnitude of tree potentials shows a yearly cycle, a minimum in
April, a maximum in September (see Figure 2). In considering the
significance of maxima and minima it is necessary to recall that
the upper electrode was arbitrarily assigned to be positive. So in
essence the seasonal (yearly) cycle shows two inflection points
around the time of the equinoxes. Burr believed he could detect a monthly periodicity in tree
potentials related to phase of the moon. Confirmation of the
validity of this finding awaited more extensive statistical analy sis
\vhich will be discussed later in this report. Analysis of all reduced data (a 15-year period) suggests that the
tree potentials are in phase with the sunspot cycle (see Figure 3). 170 +10r----r--�----�--_r----r_--_r--_,----._ ·--�----�--_

Since one sunspot cycle lasts about II years a longer time series
is necessary to establish the relationship more firmly. To investig
ate the possible importance of solar activity it was decided to
check the geomagnetic activity index against tree potentials. This analysis will be described. As noted above, during the early phases of his work, Burr
simultaneously measured two trees which were 40 miles apart. Similarities in these records suggest that they were responding to
the same external force which was not local in nature. Besides the diurnal variation, the other easily seen charac
teristic in Burr's tree pot-ential records occurs during the period
approxima tely from 10 p.m. to midnight until dawn, when
there is little variation (noise) in the record. Around dawn the
noise increases and continues until after sunset. The exact onset
and termination of the noisier period varies, and on some days
this effect is absent. There is no immediate explanation for the
phenomenon; it is not dependent on light or noise in the power
lines. A day's record of tree potentials illustrating the midnight-till
dawn quiet period and typical characteristics of such records was
seen in Figure 1. 4
Burr's work showed that the electric field of biological systems
was a sensitive indicator of biological activity. There were
indications that in some applications the electric field would be
used to predict biological activity before it happened. This was
evidence for the hypothesis that the electric field of a living
system regulated its structure and functioning. The question then remained as to which factors in the en
vironment might modulate the electric field of living systems. The commonly considered environmental paramet ers were found
not to have immediate influence, although they probably would
on a long-term basis, perhaps accounting (at least in part) for the
observed seasonal variations. However, less obvious environ
mental factors, the electric fields in the atmosphere and earth, did
1]2 SELECTED PAPERS
correlate with tree potentials and thus may influence biological
activity. Burr also found indications that the moon's position and solar
activity influenced tree potentials. This may possibly occur
through their modulation of the electro-magnetic environment. The use of the earth's magnetic field as a geophysical parameter
was suggested by the possibility that the magnitude of tree
potentials fluctuated with the II-year sunspot cycle. The geo
magnetic field which undergoes variations following solar erup
tions provides the best long-term quantitat ive data for solar
terrestrial research. The earth's magnetic field is continuously recorded at many
observatories throughout the world. Arbitrary scales have been
developed to express quantitatively fluctuations in the strength
and direction of the magnetic field. In the late 1930S, Bartels
developed the A and K indices which have subsequently been
used throughout the world. These had the advantage over the
previous system of being objectively determined. The A index is
first obtained using linear measures of the magnitude and varia
tions of

Metabolic Nutritional Support Program
Cancer is  essentially a deficiency disease; a deficiency of the pancreatic enzymes. This is  a deficiency of the free, active pancreatic enzymes in the tissues of the body. Special Note
All persons, people, creeds and inhabitants of today's state of so-called
'civilization' with a diagnosis of "cancer" are without question "thyroid deficient",
and your thyroid gland is defective, damaged, destroyed and/or inhibited. Since the
1930's it has been one of the major techniques of our common enemy, the medical,
pharmaceutical, dental and political communities, to use this technique to decrease
the population by using their very effective weapon: Cancer. "Cancer" has progressed since the 1930's from one in 8,000 to "nine out of ten"
today, and it is planned by The Establishment to increase substantially. Cancer is the
establishment's goose that lays "Golden Eggs". Since my bout with terminal pancreatic cancer in 1962 I  have taken 3 grains of
Armour Natural Thyroid each morning. Your physician must give you a prescription
for this medication. Remember, the use of synthetic thyroid does not work. Neither
does the hundreds of defective, altered thyroid preparations sold by the alternative
health care physicians and nutritional supplement companies. You must regulate the dosage of natural thyroid with the help of your doctor. You should maintain a temperature of 98. 6 degrees Fahrenheit each day upon
jumping out of bed. If you are too nervous or can't sleep, reduce the dosage of your
Thyroid intake to 2 grains or even 1  grain daily. You may also be iodine deficient. Test by painting a 3 inch area of iodine on
your skin - stomach, arm or leg. If it is absorbed into the body in less than 24 hours
you are iodine deficient and you should take an iodine supplement. May our Father Yahweh, I  AM that I  AM, Almighty extend His loving kindness,
protection and blessings to you in all ways - always. Respectfully,

currently, aged four and six; this is unusual, since MOPP chemotherapy causes
sterility in a majority of male patients. Despite his abbreviated courses of both
chemotherapy and radiation, I  believe Mr. Moreland is a relatively simple case to
evaluate. Although there are, in the medical literature, several documented instances of
129
Winning The Cancer War
patients with advanced Hodgkin's enjoying prolonged survival after incomplete
treatment with MOPP, such cases are extremely rare. While he did undergo
radiotherapy, all of it was directed to his chest and upper abdomen. His extensive
lower abdominal and pelvic tumors were never irradiated. In summary, Mr. Moreland suffered Stage IIIB Hodgkin's disease, treated with
partial courses of chemotherapy and radiation. When first seen by Dr. Kelley, he was
clinically debilitated and not, according to his doctors, in remission; it seems
reasonable to attribute this patient's prolonged survival and current good health to his
nutritional protocol. Scott Stirling
Mr. Stirling is a 53-year-old Canadian, alive 27 years since developing Hodgkin's
disease. In January of 1  971, Mr. Stirling noticed a swelling on the left side of his neck. He consulted his local physician who believed the lesion to be a benign cyst, and no
additional evaluation was recommended. Over the following year, the swelling fluctuated in size. Finally, when his neck
enlarged dramatically in June of 1972, Mr. Stirling returned to his doctor, and was
admitted to Reddy Memorial Hospital in Toronto. Mr. Stirling subsequently went to
surgery for removal of the presumed cyst. However, the mass proved to be a matted
collection of cancerous lymph nodes, fifteen of which were found positive for
nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease. Mr. Stirling was transferred to Princess Margaret Hospital for further study and
treatment. Serial X-rays of the mediastinum (mid-chest) showed no evidence of
metastatic disease, but additional X-rays confirmed extension of cancer throughout
the pelvis, described in the radiology report as "... filling defects and dilated
intranodal and peripheral sinusoids in the paraortic nodes on the left. These changes
are typical of early involvement by Hodgkin's disease." A bone scan demonstrated abnormalities in the pelvic region consistent with
metastases, summarized as: "Increased deposition of activity in the left side of the
pelvis and the left sacroiliac joint. Appearance suggests the possibility of an
abnormality of this site." A liver-spleen scan revealed an enlarged spleen, and a liver infiltrated with tumor. The records describe: "Appearances on the anterior and right lateral scans are
strongly suggestive of the presence of a space occupying lesion located in the anterior
right lobe (of the liver) — There is also poor concentration of activity within the left
lobe, suggesting the presence of an extensive infiltrating lesion. The spleen is
130

moderately enlarged." The standard six-month, six-cycle MOPP chemotherapy protocol was
recommended. After agreeing to the treatment plan, Mr. Stirling received his first
round of MOPP as an inpatient on June 30, 1972. He tolerated the chemotherapy
without significant side effects, and was discharged from the hospital in early July. But
after the second course of drugs, Mr. Stirling developed severe weakness, fatigue and
anorexia. He did eventually recover, and returned to the hospital for a third round of
MOPP in late August. While being treated, Mr. Stirling again became very ill, and
insisted the chemotherapy be stopped. At the time of discharge several days later, he
was told he most probably would not live a year. Mr. Stirling then began a long automobile trip through the United States. In

into the negativity of the collective belief systems and
to say 'no' to them. We also have the power to say'no' to belief systems
that come from our family. Really major allergies ran in
my family. My grandmother was allergic, as were my
mother and sister. Everybody had hay fever and sensi
tivity to ragweed, dust, hay, and horses. As a conse
quence, I had all of those allergies also, with swollen,
itchy eyes, and all the rest of the symptoms.We all lived
on antihistamines. In addition, I was severely allergic to
poison ivy and ended up in the hospital with general
ized severe poison ivy dermatitis. It did not respond to
any treatment except for a brown salve obtained from
a Native American medicine. woman from the
Wisconsin Dells tribe. Years later, I participated in A Course in Miracles
and was surprised to discover I no longer got migraine
headaches from pesticides. I walked right into a house
that had just been sprayed, and all of a sudden, I 'knew'
I was no longer subject to belief systems. After this amazing discovery, I awoke one day to the
realization that I was no longer subject to poison ivy,
either, so I went outside, picked some, planted some in
a pottery jar, and played with it. It was miraculous! I

let go of the excess weight (fIfty pounds) and felt a
greater safety overall about physical life.To realize that
we have power over our own lives brings a reduction
in overall anxiety and a renewed sense of well-being
and aliveness. All illness is physical, mental, and spiritual, and
therefore it is best to utilize all modalities to assist
recovery. There are also unknown factors that influ
ence recovery, such as karmic proclivities. Thus, some
illnesses may persist, awaiting further inner discovery
or the evolution of one's personal level of conscious
ness whereby the source of the illness is revealed. Therefore, spiritual work should proceed for its own
sake and recovery surrendered to God. Successful treat
ment is one thing; healing is of a different dimension
because the vast sources have been discovered and
brought to light. How can one know if humility and surrender are
complete? They are complete when one is indifferent
to whether a healing occurs or not.That is the result of
surrender to God at great depth and relinquishment of
the desire to control or change the way things are. Practicality: Caveat
It is always adVisable to have medical diagnoses
conftrmed by a second opinion. Major errors are not
uncommon, and I myself had several major misdiagnoses
that were potentially fatal if not detected. The cause of
severe heart failure as being due to Graves disease
(hyperthyroidism) was totally misdiagnosed earlier. Prostatic obstruction did not require surgery but instead
merely cessation of the use of nasal decongestants. CHAPTER 3
Stress
Having been a physician and psychiatrist for over fifty
years, I have worked in the fields of psychoanalysis,
psychotherapy, group therapy; and the psychodynamics
of the various schools. In addition, there were years of
research in the field of nutrition and its relationship to
brain chemistry, mental illness, and emotions, which
resulted in the textbook, Orthomolecular Psychiatry
(co-authored by Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling). I
have also extensively researched and used alternative
healing modalities that were found to be beneficial. For the last thirty-five years, I have been doing
research into the nature ofconsciousness itself and the
application of that knowledge to an understanding of
spirituality. Inherent in this is the relationship between
body, mind, and spirit and what that really means. Is
that something scientific that we can clinically verify,
or is that some kind of fantasy? There is a lot of emphasis today on the subject of
stress and its prevention, along with its implications for
physical, emotional, and psychological health and how
it impacts industry and the business world. There is a
greater awareness ofstress in our culture and what this
disQrder implies. We are going to look closely at the
relationships between the body and its response to
stress, and the mind and how it relates to spirit. Stress results from a pOint of view-from what we
hold in mind-and from our attitudes and beliefs. Emotional stress originates primarily from within our
selves and not just from the world. There is no such
75 76 HEALING AND RECOVERY
thing as escaping stress because its source is within us
and not located within the world as commonly
believed. Thus, we will be reversing the way the mind
usually looks at cause and effect. By observation, one
can see that 'cause' is not in the world nor is 'effect' in
the mind,butvice versa.The levelofpower,the levelof
'cause', is held in mind, bringing about one's experi
ence of what happens in the world. Our folklore intu
itively knows this because it says, "One man's meat is
another man's poison." That quotation contains the
secret of what we are talking about.The power is not
in the event or in something 'out there'.The power of
creating our experience of all events in life lies within
each of us.Thus, it is by re-owning our power that we
can learn how to prevent stress. There are methods of precluding stress instead of
treating its aftermath. The so-called stress-reduction
programs that are commonly available in our society
today are really methods of handling the effects of
stress once it has already occurred, such as in relaxation
programs designed to relieve the tension within the
body. One might say that the horse is already out ofthe
bam.There are ways to offset this so that the tension
never arises in the body and thus precludes the neces
Sity of the various ways of handling stress based on the
medical model. Some time ago, I received a brochure entitled
"Stress and Heart Disease," which presented an entire
belief program. The article promoted the idea that
stress is something 'out there', that it is really some
thing that is inherent in life, and that the result of stress
is going to affect the heart, with all its symbolic mean77 STRESS

with heart disease and the consequences of stress com

within consciousness, it is essential to look again at the. relationship between body, mind, and spirit. We are going to discuss things that we can verify
through our own experience, along with verifiable
clinical experience derived from the viewpoint of the
clinical scientist who believes only what can be clini
cally repeated and verified through inner experience. A characteristic of the body is that it is insentient,
that is, the body has no capacity to experience itself. This means that the arm, in and of itself, cannot experi
ence its own existence or 'armness'. It cannot even
experience that it 'is', much less where it is, how big it
is, or what it is doing. How do we know what is going
on with the body?We know solely because ofthe senses. We do not experience the body itself, but instead, the
senses'report of the body.We also note that the senses
themselves have no capacity to experience them
selves. For instance, in the ear, the vibrations going
through the auditory nerve and stimulating the tym
panic membrane have no way to experience them
selves as sound. Where does the experience of the body take place? It registers in the brain, but then awareness occurs in
something greater than the brain itself, in what we call
'mind'.Itis because ofthe energyfield ofthe mind that
we experience the brain and the body, Mind itself, very
curiously, also lacks the capacity to experience itself. This is an amazing thought until we look into it.We see 78 HEALING AND RECOVERY
that a thought, of and by itself, has no capacity to expe
rience its own 'thoughtness'.A memory has no capacity
in and of itself to experience its own'memoryness'. Similarly, a fantasy about the future has no such capac
ity either. The imagination, the emotions-all that goes
on in mind-are only experienced because of that
greater and larger energy field than mind called con
sciousness. It is an energy field that is more diffuse,
formless, and capable of experiencing change as well
as any phenomena. It


 lie. The source of happi
ness is not something that is outside ourself at all. Only when we own that we are the source of our
happiness does the energy field go in a positive direc
tion. We can move a person out of depression and
despondency, get them to face the fear, get them to
desire something better for themselves, and turn their
anger into anger at being the victim instead of being at
the loss of an object. There are usually endless rationalizations and expla
nations to try to make their anger sound justified. "They
promised me this.They signed a contract. They sent me
a check that wasn't any good." The source of that is
always outside of oneself, and the explanation, details,
and events are only justifications for the anger. We can use this anger by turning it into anger at the
vulnerability. One can say,"Now it is time to be angry at
the real cause, which is that I was brought up in a
world that taught me to think this way. I was taught
that this is the right way to think. "That is what we need
to be angry about-that we were taught how to think
in a way that set us up as potential victims-to think
that something or someone outside ourself is the
source of happiness. The usual projected fantasy is that
'success'is the source of happiness, is it not? Will suc
cess bring us happiness? I used to live on the East Coast near a community
of millionaires, and despite their affluence, occasionally 376 HEALING AND RECOVERY
someone committed suicide or took a drug overdose. They were not at all immune to the human vulnerabil
ities. Therefore, worldly success (e.g., celebrity status)
does not bring immunity. What we need to be angry at
is what caused us to sell ourselves out and then learn
how we do it. Then we can take pride in the fact that
we are willing to look at this now and move up to the
level of Courage to tell the truth about it.The truth is
that something within our consciousness set us up to
be vulnerable. Ifwe start to take responsibility and say,"The way I
was looking at this set me up for this depression, frus
tration, and anger. It set me up for the letdown and this
disappointment." The courage to look at that and be
willing to tell the truth about it now changes the way
we feel about the whole subject.We can now move up
to a situation where we can say to ourselves, "Well, it's
okay. It's okay if that is how people are taught in this
world, and I grew up in this world. I guess I learned the
same as everybody else, but I'm willing to look at it in
a different way now. "We then move up to a willingness
to look at it and say, "Yes, I agree to look at this. My
intention is up, and I at least see the subject as promis
ing and hopeful.The God of a friendly world is promis
ing and hopeful. In other words, there is going to be a
benefit to me, not only in this particular situation, but
there is also going to be a benefit to me as a human
being that will last my lifetime, because if I solve this
one, I have solved it for all time within myself." The willingness to look at that and accept what is
discovered results in a certain confidence that there is
a process going on within, and that this depression has 377 DEPRESSION
arisen to bring something to one's attention. It is as
though it is saying, "Something is out; something is
wrong within my mind, within my consciousness, and
within my spiritual position," because that is what
pain means. Pain means,"Please look at me; something
is out." We can treat depression pharmacologically and get
the person out of it temporarily, but if the person has
not changed in their way of being in the world, in the
way they are holding who they are and how they relate
to the world and the universe, or in their expectations,
their vulnerability remains the same. We know that
many people who are treated with just antidepressants
will recover from the current episode. We also know
that some people are prone to relapses due to geneti
cally determined faulty brain chemistry, and others
have additional episodes unless their whole context
has changed. Without an understanding of the nature
of consciousness itself, the vulnerability remains, and
the person who has depressions of psychological ori
gin is subject to repeated bouts of depression within
their lifetime. In looking at this in a holistic way, from the view
point of body, mind, and spirit, we want to address the
basic understanding to bring about an immunity froin
further episodes of this debilitating experience of
depression.Acceptance means seeing what the internal
setup is without blaming oneself or getting into a
'make wrong' scenario. There is nothing wrong with it;
it just does not work.We have been trained and set up
in our world to think that way by our parents who
were also set up to think that way. They just passed it 378 HEALING AND RECOVERY
down to us. It has been going on since ancient biblical
times, where there are descriptions of very severe
depression, so it arises in the inherited collective con
sciousness, which contains the same program-that
somehow happiness and the source of it are outside
ourself. As we move up to level 310,with the willingness to
tell the truth and to look at this, we can see the power
of the field then goes up to the level ofAcceptance at
350. Here the energy field is positive instead of nega
tive because above-the level of Courage, the person has
stopped projecting the source of their happiness out
side themselves. They have begun to re-own their
power.At the level of Courage, there is the willingness
to tell the truth, face the situation, cope with it, and
handle it. By the time we move up to the energy. level of
Acceptance, we see a person who is confident and
easygoing, which comes from the awareness that one is
the source of one's happiness. It means that the person
has realized in their emotional, psychological, and spir
itual growth that they are the cause ofthe happiness in
their life. Ifwe were to put such a person on a desert
island somewhere in the South Pacific, sail away, and
return a year later, he would have a coconut factory, he
would be making flutes out of bamboo, the children
would be learning songs, and he would be teaching
French to the natives. He would have found a native
girl, built a tree house, and re-created for himself the
world around him as an expression ofbeing the source
of his own happiness. The anger was based on placing the source of hap379 DEPRESSION
piness outside of oneself. On a deeper level, the anger
is that of having sold oneself out and having been sold
out by being given this program to operate with and
then finding out that it does not work. One has to
accept that it does not work,be willing to look at it,
change, and say,"Okay. "It only takes a matter ofseconds
to find a position from which it will work. How long does it take to come out of depression? It only takes as long as it takes to become willing to
look at the truth ofwhat has happened. The capacity is
within ourself to accept what has happened, to realize
that we are the source ofour own happiness, and to be
unwilling to give it out to the world any more.The re
owning ofthat power suddenly results in a state ofcon
fidence. It no longer matters what happens 'out there'. The realization of that truth allows us to experience
ourself now in a far more whole and complete way
instead of from lack or vulnerability. There is just the
realization that we are the source and have the power
to create. The self projected the meaning onto this;
therefore, they say that one man's meat is another
man's poison. The same event that would make one
person happy would depress another. I have watched people resist coming into money,
for example, because it was not within their value
system. At the time they valued not having money;
therefore, it would be a problem if they won the
lottery. Thus, winning might make one person joyful
and fill the other one with guilt.Why? The difference
is meaning. Who or what created the meaning that gave this
thing outside ourself the power and significance? We 380 HEALING AND RECOVERY
are the creator ofthe meaning and the one who chooses
what meaning to give to something.Therefore, we have
to look at the way in which we have bought into social
consciousness. We have to look at the values by which
we have unwittingly allowed ourselves to be pro
grnmmed and say to ourselves, "Do I agree with that? Am I willing to give it that value? Am I willing to set
myself up for that vulnerability?" The realization emerges that we have the power to
resource ourselves and to recontextualize our lives by
seeing how we are setting ourselves up. It brings a
state of inner joy to realize that


 have long to live. W.E. started the Gerson treatment in July of 1997, made a full recovery and remains alive and
well (last report 2006). Recurrent Melanoma
N.P. had a 5 mm mole on his back, which began to bleed in October of 1990. He consulted
skin cancer specialist Dr. Richard Ferderspiel, who was sure that the lesion was not melanoma. But the biopsy proved him wrong, and on October 30, at the Berrien General Hospital in Michigan
a large area of skin was removed from the patient’s back. Six months later, in April of 1991, an enlarged lymph node was discovered in N.P’s right
axilla. It was biopsied and found to be metastasized melanoma. The oncologist at the Borgess
Medical Center of Kalamazoo, Michigan, told N.P., “I’ve treated several cases like yours and lost
them all.” He then proposed an experimental treatment that might possibly extend the patient’s
life from the six-month prognosis to nine months. N.P. refused. At that stage he received a letter from the widow of an acquaintance, a man of his own age, Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007.

www.thegersonway.comwho had received all available conventional treatments for metastatic melanoma and died five
months later. This persuaded N.P. to go to the Gerson hospital in Mexico, where he arrived with
his wife in May 1991. At the time another tumor appeared, but vanished in six weeks. At the end
of the therapy N.P., aged 67, was in perfect health and regularly competed in the Senior Olympic
Games in Michigan and Florida, winning Silver twice and Gold once in the Racewalk. In time he eased off the Gerson type of food, and abandoned the diet completely while
traveling in South America. In 1994 another lymph node had to be removed from the original
site; it proved to be melanoma. N.P. immediately resumed the strict intensive Gerson Therapy,
and again made a full recovery. At present he remains well and active. Colo-Rectal Cancer with Liver Metastases
C.T. was 58 years old when he noticed signs of rectal bleeding. The treatment he was given
for suspected hemorrhoids proved useless, so he was sent to Shand Hospital in Gainesville, FL.,
for thorough tests and diagnosis. The resulting surgery report showed that C.T. was suffering
from a colon malignancy, with metastases throughout his body. The hospital doctors told the
patient that because of his widely spread cancer chemotherapy would be of no use, and gave him
a prognosis of three to six months of life. C.T. embarked on the Gerson Therapy, using no other
treatment, and over a period of two years achieved a complete recovery. Twenty-five years later,
aged 81, he remains well and active. Y.H. In 1992  the Japanese Professor of Medicine Y.H. found himself unable to have a bowel
movement. Surgery, combined with a liver biopsy, disclosed colon malignancy, which had already
spread to the liver. Prof.Y.H. agreed to four mild chemotherapy treatments, but these resulted
in the growth of the liver metastases. Upon this the patient abandoned the chemotherapy and
embarked on the Gerson Therapy, following the directions in Dr. Gerson’s book. Fourteen years
later he is fully recovered, with a clean liver, and has successfully treated many cancer patients
with the same method. He described his experience in his book (only available in Japanese) and
has trained a few of his colleagues in the Gerson Therapy. At present he is following up some 500
cancer cases, which have shown positive responses to the Gerson protocol he now uses. Pancreatic Cancer
L.K. went to see his doctor, as he was feeling poorly, and was prescribed a medicine to
reduce his stomach acid. Unfortunately this remedy caused him severe pain and other problems. In November of 1994 he was given a CT scan, which showed “an abnormal irregular mass at
the head of the pancreas, contiguous ( adjacent)  with the superior mesenteric artery and superior
vein.” L.K.’s doctor stated, “You have pancreatic cancer and surgery is impossible, while neither 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 201Healing the Gerson Way—Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases
www.thegersonway.comradiation nor chemotherapy would work for you.”  After talking to recovered Gerson patients, and
without any treatment on offer, the patient decided to go to Mexico and start the Gerson treatment. After 20 months of strictly adhering to the protocol, a second CT scan showed no sign of disease,
everything came up as normal. L.K. points out that the regular severe migraine headaches that had
plagued him for many years disappeared almost at once after he started the Therapy. After more
than 10 years he remains fit and well and active. P.A. Having lost some 25 pounds, in January of 1986 P.A. was sent to a hospital in Victoria
(B.C., Canada) for a CAT scan, whose results were verified by a needle biopsy. The diagnosis
was pancreatic cancer. The specialist told her to get her affairs in order, because her cancer was
inoperable and added that the malignancy had spread to her liver, gallbladder and spleen. By
then the patient had lost 45 pounds and was vomiting blood. With no other option, she decided
to try the Gerson Therapy, having heard about a local man who claimed to have recovered on it
from pancreatic cancer. In March of 1986, she arrived at the Mexican Gerson clinic and started
the intensive therapy. By December of that year, a mere 11 months later, according to her doctor
the patient had the cancer licked. In February of 1990, her family doctor stated that “As of the
present time, she has no evidence of recurrence and what evidence of malignancy was present
in 1985 has now gone.” P.A. continues in good health and leads an active life, 20 years after
being diagnosed with an apparently incurable and life-threatening disease. Prostate Cancer
P.S. was 69 years old in 1991, when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He had several
needle biopsies, three of which showed the presence of malignant cells, while three others were
negative. His PSA (prostate-specific antigen) stood at 6—not very much elevated, but above
normal. P.S. started the Gerson Therapy at the Mexican Gerson clinic in 1991 and—as we often
note—at first his PSA rose, reaching 14 at the end of three months. The patient was somewhat
alarmed by this increase, but he persevered with the treatment. And indeed after 18 months his
PSA went down to 0.3. Now in his eighties, P.S. is perfectly well, as shown by his regular annual check-ups. His
prostate is normal and his present PSA stands at 2.1. (Latest report: October 2006.) Prostate & Bone Cancer, and a case of Lung Cancer
E.T, of Cairo, IL, presents the most remarkable case history. In 1966, aged 69, he was
advised by his doctors to put his affairs in order, as he was dying of prostate cancer with extensive
spreading into his bones, and a large mass in his groin. He had been treated with hormones, but
his doctors realized that those treatments were no longer effective, and that there was nothing Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.commore they could do. E.T. had dropped out of school after the sixth grade and had received no further education. He had spent all his life working in a junkyard, sorting various metals. When his doctors gave him what amounted to a death sentence, he remembered reading
something about the Gerson Therapy. He contacted Dr. Gerson’s eldest daughter, asking for help. She pointed him to her father’s book, A Cancer Therapy—Results of 50 Cases, but after a short
while he called her back and stated that he couldn’t understand the book. So she told him simply
to follow the chart on P.235. E.T. obeyed her instructions, but having lost his wife years before, he found that pursuing the
therapy at home was “the hardest thing he ever did.” One day, leaning over the arm of a chair, he
broke one of his ribs, weakened by metastases. He was in severe pain and felt tempted just to stay
in bed. However, he forced himself to get up and prepare the food and juices, since he knew that
without helping himself he would die. In a short time he was free from pain. After a month his
doctor could no longer feel the large mass that he had found in the patient’s groin. E.T. soon felt
well and had much greater energy. One day he received a call from a friend in Kentucky, the chiropractor Dr. G.D., who told him
that he


estines. What distinguishes the high enema from the low enema is often a
function of the way it is applied and the amount of water/mixture used, which
determines how far the water/mixture will go up into your colon. The same
herbs can be used as stated above. In cases of debility where extreme fatigue
is involved, high enemas can be given using fresh green juices like wheat
grass, spinach, kelp, alfalfa, barley, etc., instead of water or herbal tea. These
juices are readily absorbed through the colon wall and are electrifying to the
body, bringing much needed energy into the system. Chlorophyll is another
constituent that can be introduced into the colon via the enema method to
assist the healing and cleansing process. COFFEE ENEMAS
 — Many people use coffee enemas as these are very
stimulating to the bowels and liver. However, I never recommend them
unless your colon is “locked” and you can’t have a bowel movement. The
continual use of coffee enemas has a whiplash effect causing extreme
enervation of the colon and inflammation of the liver and kidneys. Coffee enemas also have a negative effect upon the nervous systemcreating hyper- or hypoactivity of this system. This then will have a residual
effect upon the whole body in numerous ways including nerve disorders,
severe constipation, diarrhea, bloating, edema, and acidosis. HOW TO DO AN ENEMA
1. Purchase an enema-bag / “hot water bottle” combination from a
pharmacy. 2. Fill the bag with 1/2 quart to 2 quarts of skin temperature water or herb-
water mixture. Always use skin temperature water no matter what you
mix it with. 3. Hang the hot water bottle at least two feet above you. 4. Lay on your left side as you start your enema. 5. Use a healing herbal salve to lubricate the tip for easy insertion. 6. Let the water (or herbal mixture) flow slowly into your colon; stopping
the flow periodically while you rest and do some deep breathing. 7. After a few minutes, move from your left side to lying on your back, and
continue to let the water flow into your colon; then turn over to your
right side. 8. You may wish to massage the region of your colon as it is being filled
with the mixture. This will help loosen impacted “plaque” for removal. 9. Retain this water (mixture) somewhat, then allow elimination. 10. Repeat until the bag/hot water bottle is empty. Use enemas wisely and when needed. There is no need to over use them. A diet of raw fruits and vegetables along with a good intestinal rejuvenator
will work much better in the long run at reestablishing the health of the GI
tract. Healing Clay
A fourth method of cleansing the bowels involves the use of clays. These are
not used as much in America as in Europe. In many countries, like Portugal,
health professionals use clay packs over the abdomen to accomplish the same
results we get with colonics. The late Dr. John Christopher has a great
intestinal powder
(Intestinal Corrective
 #2®) that includes bentonite clay and
charcoal. This has a highly cleansing and absorbing effect within the
intestines. This formula is beneficial in cases of irritable bowel syndrome and
with uncontrolled diarrhea. Summary

Our intestines (GI tract) are so vital that God made them one of the first
things formed when a cell initially becomes an embryo. In this early stage, the
spinal column and “gut” tissue is formed, and the gut tissue later becomes the
GI tract. Your very survival depends upon its proper functioning. Nutrients,
building materials, and fuels are absorbed from its walls, and the GI tract also
creates white blood cells, various vitamins, and amino acids. The synergistic
role of the GI system with the lymphatic system is not totally understood. But
its essential relationship to every cell in your body (via the lymphatic system)
should give you an indication of just how vital it is to keep it functioning
properly. You should “feed it” only alive, easy-to-digest foods with
electrically alive fiber so it can maintain its health. Physicians pour drugs of which they know little, to cure diseases of which
they know less, into humans of which they know nothing. — Voltaire, French satirist (1694-1778)

CHAPTER SEVEN
Eating for Vitality
U
p to this point we have looked at how the body works, the processes of
disease, detoxification and regeneration. We have examined our species and
the types of foods that best suit us. We have also looked at foods and their
effects on tissue. In this chapter we will discover what to eat and how to eat it. It is
important not only to know what to eat, but
how to mix
 these foods properly
to get the optimum benefit from them—the art of food combining. Here, too, we will offer a series of menus that you can begin to use
immediately to start yourself in the direction of detoxification and
regeneration. These menus will address your needs, whether you consider
yourself a timid beginner or a bold adventurer. Further topics covered will include the amazing health value of raw fruit
and vegetable juices, and the subject of beans, soybeans and grains as they
relate to detoxification and regeneration. In the concluding pages of this chapter you will find a number of
excellent recipes for both raw and steamed foods that will strengthen you on
your journey and make your meals more varied and delightful. MODULE 7. 1

Note
–Eat moderately of this category. Too many of these foods can be acid-
forming, energy robbing, and will slow or stop the cleansing process.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>
Q: What are some of the negative effects of certain foods on the digestive system?,
A: Some foods can inflame and weaken the structure of the digestive system, while others can cause excessive mucus production, and some can even lead to the growth of destructive parasites.
Q: What is the importance of proper digestion and absorption of nutrients?,
A: Proper digestion and absorption of nutrients is crucial as it provides the necessary building materials and fuels for the body's cells, and any blockage can lead to toxic buildup and inflammation.
Q: What is the role of the lymphatic system in the body?,
A: The lymphatic system is the body's sewer system, and it is crucial to eliminate waste from the body. It is important to clean the colon and heal inflammation at the same time as the lymphatic system is eliminated.
Q: What are some of the benefits of a raw food diet?,
A: A raw food diet can provide the body with the necessary nutrients and energy, as well as promote detoxification and regeneration.
Q: What are some recommended food combinations that can be used to cleanse the bowels?,
A: The text recommends avoiding certain food combinations, such as mixing starches and proteins, and instead suggests focusing on eating fruits and vegetables separately to avoid fermentation and putrefaction.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>I use herbs to promote detoxification and for tissue enhancement through
nutritive and energetic stimulation, not abrasive stimulation. We are living
beings who require living foods and herbs to heal ourselves. The power of a
raw
herb to accomplish this is a hundred times that of its cooked counterpart. Remember that herbs are food. They are made of proteins (amino acids),
carbohydrates (starches and sugars) and fats. They also have lots of fiber
(cellulose) which is vital for the health of the intestinal tract. The immortal
words of Hippocrates, the famous Naturopath and Father of Medicine, apply
here: “Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food.”
In religious and spiritual texts from many world traditions you will find
mention of the power and importance of herbs. God did not create chemical
medicines, but God did create herbs. Herbs are fun to use and remarkable to experience as they clean and
rebuild your body. There are only a few herbs to approach with caution, such
as Peruvian Bark (Cinchona calisaya). This herb is beneficial at low dosages,
but toxic at high dosages. I would leave herbs like this alone. This chapter begins with a short essay (
Module 8.1
) on the common and
traditional uses of botanicals, and then in
Module 8.2
 provides a detailed list
of some of the strongest and most effective herbs that nature has to offer. These
