 foot to the inside of the left thigh. Bring your palms
to touch at the center of the chest or lift your arms overhead in a
“V” shape.Benefits:  Physically, Tree pose strengthens the ankles, the
knees, and the thighs, and tones the pelvic ﬂoor. It opens the inner
and outer hips and helps to lengthen the spine.
Energetically, Tree pose increases focus and concentration. It
works on the ﬁrst and sixth chakras, enabling us to get grounded in
the legs and feet while developing drishti, focusing the gaze or
direction of our eyes on a single point. Because our eyes reﬂect the
activity of the mind, a steady gaze allows us to steady the mind.
Tree pose can also help reduce anxiety or restlessness.
Engage mula bandha. Stimulates apana vayu.
Therapeutic applications:  Helps with ﬂat feet, osteoporosis, and
anxiety. Can help alleviate the pain of sciatica.
Helpful tips: If your balance is precarious, start by placing the
right foot either on the ankle or shin, avoiding the knee. You can
also try this pose next to a wall or behind a chair to help maintain
your balance.
OceanofPDF.comLORD OF THE DANCER POSE: NATARAJASANA
Overview:  Nataraj is another name for Shiva, the deity of
destruction. This pose symbolizes the cosmic dance of Shiva, who
is the archetype of universal intelligence. Just as there is a dance of
life and creativity, there is a dance of renunciation and letting go.
When we honor that dance of destruction, we can consciously
create anew.
How-to:  From Mountain pose, shift your weight onto your left
foot and bend your right leg straight back behind you. Take hold of
the right foot or ankle with the right hand and extend your left arm
straight out in front of you. Keep your eyes focused on one point as
you begin to press your right foot into your right hand and your
right hand into your right foot, lifting the foot away from your right
buttock. Keep directing your right inner thigh toward the wallbehind you as your lift your leg away from your body. Stay here
and breathe for as long as you comfortably can.
Benefits:  Physically, this posture stretches the hip ﬂexors, the
quadriceps, the chest, and the shoulders. It strengthens the ankles,
the knees, and the thighs, and helps tone the lower abdominal
muscles. This pose helps to improve balance and posture.
Energetically, Lord of the Dancer pose builds focus and
concentration. It stretches the intercostal muscles, which serve to
free up the breath. This pose also works on the ﬁrst and fourth
chakras, generating stability and fostering a sense of connection
and emotional sensitivity. Stimulates prana vayu.
Therapeutic applications:  Aids in digestion and relieves the pain
of ﬂat feet.
Helpful tips: To help with balance, use a wall or a chair to
support the extended arm. If your quadriceps are tight, stay in an
upright position and keep the foot of the bent leg closer to the
buttocks.
OceanofPDF.comEXTENDED HAND TO BIG TOE POSE: UTTHITA HASTA
PADANGUSTASANA
Overview:  Although the traditional version of this pose is not
recommended for beginners, there are many different versions of
the pose you can adapt to your own level. Like any situation in life,
if we get too far ahead of ourselves in this pose, we will get thrown
off balance. By maintaining a slow and steady pace, we can stay
present to the quiet, still space within and be guided by it.
How-to:  From Mountain pose, shift your weight over to the left
foot and draw your right knee in toward your chest. Grab hold of
the right big toe with the ﬁrst two ﬁngers of the right hand (“yogic
toe lock”) and plug the right arm bone into the shoulder socket.
Keep your right hip level with the left hip. Place your left hand on
your left hip and keep your eyes steady on one point as you begin
to extend the right leg forward, away from your right hip. Press intothe ball of the right foot and spread the toes. Stay here or extend
the left arm overhead. If you feel steady here, you can make the
second variation by rolling the right thigh open to the right and
extending the left arm out to the left.
Benefits:  Physically, this pose strengthens the ankles, the knees,
the quadriceps, the hip ﬂexors, the abdomen, and the back. It
opens the hamstrings and groins. It helps to improve balance.
Energetically, Extended Hand to Big Toe pose builds focus and
concentration. It teaches the qualities of sthira and sukha, or
“steadiness” and “ease,” as referenced in the Yoga Sutras of
Patanjali (sutra 2.46). It works on the ﬁrst, second, and sixth
chakras.
Engage mula bandha to reverse apana and increase udana
vayu.
Therapeutic applications:  Helps with ﬂat feet, reduces anxiety,
and relieves lower back pain.
Helpful tips: If your hamstrings are tight, use a strap or a towel
to wrap around the sole of the foot of the extended leg. You can
also rest your foot on a chair, at hip height or slightly lower, to help
with balance or tight hamstrings. For a more dynamic experience
in the extended leg and to create more spaciousness in the pelvis,
place the extended leg’s foot on the wall at hip height and press all
four corners of the foot into the wall.
OceanofPDF.comWARRIOR 3: VIRABHADRASANA 3
Overview:  This Warrior pose is the most complex of the three. A
great level of commitment and perseverance is required to sustain
this pose, leaving us with the fruits of inner strength, will, and
resilience.
How-to:  From Warrior 1 pose, lengthen your torso forward over
your front right leg and come onto the ball of the back foot.
Transfer your weight completely onto your right foot as you lift the
left foot off the ﬂoor, eventually bringing the foot in line with the
pelvis. Press the sole of the left foot back toward the wall behind
you. Angle the center of the chest forward toward the wall in front
of you. Keep your hips level. Extend your arms out in front of you
or to the side in a “T” position.
Benefits:  Physically, this pose strengthens the ankles, the knees,
the quadriceps, the abdomen, and the back. It also strengthens the
upper body.
Energetically, Warrior 3 pose improves focus, concentration,
will, and determination. It increases tapas and works on the ﬁrst,
third, and sixth chakras.

Therapeutic applications:  This pose helps with ﬂat feet, reduces
anxiety, and improves posture. It can also be helpful in reducing
lower back pain.
Helpful tips: If your hamstrings are tight or balance is an issue,
place a block under each hand, directly underneath each shoulder.
To help align and activate the back leg, place the foot on a wall or
rest it on a chair at hip height.
OceanofPDF.comEAGLE POSE: GARUDASANA
Overview:  Although the Sanskrit meaning of this pose is
translated as “eagle” in English, the garuda is a mythical, bird-like
creature, the mount or vehicle (vahana) of Lord Vishnu, the
archetype of sustainability. This pose teaches us about our ability
to sustain and remain grounded in times of challenge or adversity.
How-to:  From Chair pose, bring your hands to your hips and
shift your weight over the left foot, extending the right leg out to
the side. Keep your eyes steady on one point as you cross the right
leg over the left leg, either resting the right foot against the left leg
or hooking it around the left ankle. Stretch your arms wide in a “T”
position and then bend your right elbow in so that your face is in
line with your right palm. Now wrap the left arm underneath the

THE TRAP - FATIGUE
Now here is the catch or trap:
In its struggle to cast out the enemy, the body (through its increased heart and circulatory effort) has expended an enormous
amount of nervous energy which it subsequently attempts to recuperate in  order to preserve life. The heart which was
overactivated now slows down, the blood circulation decreases and the nerves begin to rest. This registers in the brain as
fatigue, weariness and mental depression. The more rapid the heart beat or pulse was, th e more accentuated these feelings of
depression are which follow as an inevitable consequence.

REST MUST FOLLOW OVERSTIMULATION
Every stimulation or overactivation of the heart must be followed by a corresponding rest, if life is to continue - every high must
be followed by a corresponding low. Just like the pendulum of a clock - the further it goes to the right, the further it must go to
the left until the body is fully recharged and equilibrium or a state of normalcy is reached.

AFTER STIMULATION - DEPR ESSION
The physiological law which is involved is called the Law of Dual Effects, which states that "all agents which are taken into  the
body or which come in contact with it from without occasion a twofold and contrary action the secondary action being th e
opposite of the primary one". (If the primary action is stimulation, the secondary effect is depression).

HANGOVERS AND FATIGUE
It is supposed by Hans Seyle and Randolph who wrote on stress, that the stimulated alert state results from the release of
stimulating adaptive adrenal hormones. As fatigue or the wearing out of the adrenal responses makes the hormones less
availab le, hangovers (letdowns and loss of energy) begin to predominate.

CHILDREN GET OVERACTIVE - ADULTS GET DEPRESSIVE
Children and adolescents when adapting show mainly the overactive, stimulated side of the reaction presumably because their
hormonal adaptive  responses are more vigorous than those of older people, in whom the picture of failing adaptation is more
depressive, dopey and withdrawn.
"The more rapid the heart beat or pulse was, the more accentuated these feelings of depression are, which
follow as an inevitable consequence."

The "Power" of Habit Explained
from "Overcoming Compulsive Habits"
DR. HERBERT SHELTON QUOTES
Relative to this subject and of great value to our understanding of how the stimulation and depression mechanism works, I
quote the brilliant Dr. Herbert M. Shelton in his "  Human Life, Its Philosophy and Laws  " :
"This Law (Law of Dual Effects) explains the power of habit. The temporary "relief" from symptoms and the short period of exa ltation are
followed by worse symptoms and depres sion, so that the individual resorts to the drug for more relief and more exaltation. He cannot
tolerate the depression of power that inevitably follows the added impulse of power induced by tea, coffee, tobacco, alcohol,  opium, or other
drug.
"The heighte ned sensibilities, pleasurable sensations, joyous emotions induced by opium soon pass, leaving the terrors of hell in their w ake.
The "brilliancy" of thought and intellect and ecstacy of enjoyment give way to languor, stupidity and horror unutterable. The  user resorts
again to his drug to revive the former state.
"His body does not need and does not demand more opium. It needs and demands rest. But he craves more opium as a means of
temporary "relief" from his intolerable suffering. The "relief" produces more suffering, which calls for more relief" which produces more
suffering which calls for more relief and so on until death brings complete and lasting relief. As the drug habitue becomes w eaker and more
nervous, he requires more frequent doses, or strong er doses of his poison.
"A striking confirmation of this view is supplied by the recently discovered fact that when there is no awareness of pain, th ere is no "craving"
for morphine. Vandalistic neurologists have recently devised an operation which they ca ll prefrontal lobotomy, which consists of removal of a
portion of the nerve fibers of the forehead to "relieve" unbearable pain. They find that when awareness of pain ceases, the " craving" for
morphine also ceases and there are no "withdrawal symptoms", ex cept a transient mild tremor. I interpret this to mean that when there is no
consciousness of pain, there is no mental desire for the accustomed means of "relief". I would interpret the so -called "withdrawal symptoms"
in the same way. They grow, not out of  lack of morphine, but out of fear of pain.
"Relieving" morphine -induced pain with more morphine is the height of medical insanity.
"What temporarily strengthens permanently weakens. Tobacco steadies the nerves only to produce unsteadiness of them; alcohol  weakens
permanently because it temporarily strengthens; tonics produce temporary strength and permanent debility; a cup of coffee rel ieves a
headache only to fasten the headache upon the user; it relieves depression of spirits only to double the depression when it "wears off". This
is the reason cathartics, that seem to strengthen the bowels weakens them.
"Let any habitual user of any drug discontinue his drug for a few days and he will experience in their fullness all the secon dary effects - only
to find that these may all be made to disappear by a return to its use. Coffee "cures" the headache it has caused; whiskey re stores the
feeling of strength it has wasted; tobacco the steadiness of nerves it has destroyed."

STIMULANTS ACTIVATE AND DEPRESS
To explain this in other words - All stimulants activate the body initially but depress it ultimately. All stimulants pick you up. Any
ingested stimulant which causes the heart to beat faster is a physiological poison and should be shunned like a plague.
In this case, when coffee is given up, the headache symptom which follows is due to the pain felt in the head from the
congestion in the brain caused by the presence of the caffeine which is transported by the blood as it makes its circulating
rounds throu gh the body to eventually reach the organs of elimination, whence it is discarded.
Now, all addictive habits and compulsions are due to their stimulating character and the more stimulating they are, the more
addictive they are and the more they draw us int o ever -increasing bondage. The cycle becomes more vicious as the habit is
continued.
As stimulation is repeated, in frequency, more recuperation is required than the body is able to receive in a night's sleep, so, in
order to get the same feeling of exhila ration or "high" as he received before, the addict feels impelled to increase the frequency
of his stimulant. Next, he feels that he needs to increase the amount of the dose.

THE MORE STIMULANT - THE MORE REST NEEDED
But each increase in dosage leads to a  further expenditure of energy, thus necessitating a greater need for recuperation or rest.
As the deficit in rest accumulates mote rapidly, this inexorably leads to a greater let -down, thus forcing the addict to increase
the amount of the dosage more and more until the whole body - mind system collapses from exhaustion. This is why it is so
difficult to give up an addiction. No one likes to go through the feeling of "down" with its attendant depression.

 copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648 -1500    www.drbass.com  26

Yet, it is during this recuperation or "down" phase that the body, nervous system and brain, recharges with energy. It is
absolutely essential that we realize that thi s stage MUST be gone through if we are to restore structural, physiological and vital
integrity to the body - if we are to restore our feelings, emotions and mind to a state of normal tone and wholeness.

THE LAW OF VITAL ACCOMMODATION
Continuing with Dr. Shelton, another closely related law follows which is called        the Law of Vital Accommodation - "Nature's
Balance Wheel"   which states that:
"The response of the vital organism to external stimuli is an instinctive one, based upon self -preservative in stinct which adapts itself to what
ever influences it cannot destroy, or control, or avoid".
"As we have shown, the violent actions following the first use of a poison are vital actions and represent an expenditure of vital power. If
these actions were to go on forever to the end of individual life, with each repetition of the dose, speedy exhaustion would result and death
ensue. Either these violent actions must continue so long as the incentive for continued pathological action persists


	by	scientific	method.	As	Lynne
McTaggart,	author	of	the	1996	book,
What	Doctors	Don’t	Tell	You,
wrote:	“For
all	the	attempts	to	cloak	medicine	in	the	weighty	mantle	of	science—a	good	deal
of	what	we	regard	as	standard	medical	practice	today	amounts	to	little	more	than
20th-century	voodoo.”
Doctors	usually	have	little	idea	what	is	wrong	with	their	patients	or	how	to
make	them	well.	And	how	can	one	blame	them?	They	spent	many	years	in
medical	school,	learning	technicalities,	procedures	and	protocols,	and	were
taught	that	“cures”	must	come	from	outside	the	body.	That	is	why	physicians
have	no	faith	or	instruction	about	the	natural	capacity	of	the	human	body	to	heal
itself.	In	fact,	many	argue	that	almost	all	conditions	presented	to	physicians	are
self-limiting	and	spontaneously	resolve	by	the	natural	healing	process,	regardless
of	what	the	physician	happens	to	prescribe.
This	natural	healing	process	must	become	our	focus,	because	the	magnitude	of
sickness	in	this	country	is	astonishing.	More	than	three	out	of	four	Americans
now	suffer	from	a	diagnosable	chronic	disease,	a	dilemma	that	the	modern
medical	establishment	not	only	fails	to	solve,	but	actually	contributes	to.	Things
must	change.	In	March	2001,	The	Institute	of	Medicine	of	the	National	Academy
of	Sciences	issued	a	report	titled,
Crossing	the	Quality	Chasm:	A	New	Health
System	for	the	21st	Century.
According	to	this	report:	“.	.	.	between	the	health
care	we	now	have	and	the	health	care	we	could	have	lies	not	just	a	gap,	but	a
chasm.”	The	report	also	said:	“Health	care	harms	patients	too	frequently	and
routinely	fails	to	deliver	its	potential	benefits.”
The	United	States	has	the	most	expensive,	yet	one	of	the	most	inadequate
health	care	systems	in	the	world.	Our	infant	mortality	rate	is	worse	than	Cuba’s.
According	to	the	World	Health	Organization,	our	overall	health	is	worse	than
that	of	almost	every	European	country,	as	well	as	Australia,	Canada,	and	Israel.
According	to	the	above	Institute	of	Medicine	report,	“.	.	.	a	fundamental,
sweeping	redesign	of	the	entire	health	care	system	is	required.”	The	report	cited
that	“.	.	.	the	nation’s	health	care	delivery	system	has	fallen	short	in	its	ability	to
translate	knowledge	into	practice	and	to	apply	new	technology	safely	andappropriately.”	It	went	on	to	say,	“.	.	.	if	the	system	cannot	consistently	deliver
today’s	science	and	technology,	it	is	even	less	prepared	to	respond	to	the
extraordinary	advances	that	surely	will	emerge	during	the	coming	decades.”
We’ve	spent	hundreds	of	billions	of	medical	research	dollars	on	outmoded
science,	which	explains	why	we	have	not	found	the	cause	or	the	cure	for	a	single
chronic	disease.	Decades	after	President	Richard	Nixon	declared	“war	on
cancer”	and	after	countless	billions	of	dollars	spent,	malignancy	survival	rates
are	not	noticeably	improved.	We	have	yet	to	produce	a	truly	effective	cancer
treatment;	every	minute	another	American	dies	of	cancer.	The	situation	is	similar
with	heart	disease.	We	can	implant	a	new	artificial	heart	surgically,	but	we
cannot	prevent	or	cure	heart	disease.	Why?	Because	so	few	resources	are
devoted	to	study	of	the	body’s	healing	systems	or	to	help	patients	understand
and	support	their	own	health	at	the	cellular	level.	Reallocating	resources	with
these	priorities	in	mind	is	the	direction	medicine	must	take	if	it	is	ever	to	be
effective	in	reversing	our	epidemic	of	chronic	disease.
Everyone	Is	Unique
Interested	only	in	identifying	symptoms,	physicians	do	not	listen	to	their
patients.	Patients	are	regarded	as	machines,	similar	to	every	other	machine;
doctors	need	not	learn	anything	unique	about	individual	people.	A	study	reported
in	the	December	1993	issue	of
Internal	Medicine	News
found	that	70	percent	of
patients	were	interrupted	by	their	doctor	within	eighteen	seconds	after	the	patient
began	to	describe	their	symptoms.	As	soon	as	the	doctor	has	matched	symptoms
to	a	disease,	treatments	follow	established	protocols.	Everyone	with	the	same
“disease”	receives	the	same	treatment.
Such	procedures	completely	ignore	one	of	the	greatest	scientific	discoveries	of
the	twentieth	century:	biochemical	individuality.	Two	people	with	the	same	so-
called	disease	may	need	different	treatments	because	no	two	people’s	cells	are
malfunctioning	for	exactly	the	same	reasons.	Modern	medicine	does	not	teach
physicians	how	to	recognize	or	work	with	each	patient’s	unique	biochemistry.
Even	when	presented	with	scientific	evidence	that	an	alternative	system	works
best,	most	physicians	resist	change	and	fail	to	apply	these	findings.	Their
disease-based	focus	interferes	with	the	essence	of	what	health	care	should	be:	the
optimization	of	health	at	the	cellular	level	based	on	a	person’s	unique
biochemistry	and	life	circumstances.
Resistant	to	ChangeAdopting	a	more	rational	system	of	medicine	would	result	in	an	enormous
reduction	in	health-care	costs	by	eliminating	hundreds	of	thousands	of
physicians	and	closing	thousands	of	hospitals	(not	to	mention	the	potential
financial	ruin	of	drug	companies).	Obviously,	the	economic	incentive	to
maintain	the	status	quo	and	not	change	is	enormous.	Currently,	cancer	is	a
billion-dollar-a-day	“industry”	in	the	United	States,	and	more	people	are
employed	in	the	AIDS	industry	than	there	are	sufferers	of	AIDS.
Modern	medicine’s	efforts	to	protect	money	and	jobs	were	vividly	described
and	documented	in	the	2000	book	by	former	New	York	State	Legislator,	Daniel
Haley,
Politics	in	Healing:	The	Suppression	and	Manipulation	of	American
Medicine.
Haley	points	out	that	in	the	twentieth	century	several	inexpensive	and
highly	effective	cures	for	cancer	were	introduced	in	American	medicine.	The
developers	of	these	cures,	well-meaning	people,	were	naive	and	believed	that	the
world	would	welcome	a	cancer	cure.	What	these	people—among	others,	Harry
Hoxey,	William	Frederick	Koch,	Royal	Raymond	Rife	and	Dr.	Andrew	Ivy—all
failed	to	understand	is	that	someone	who	threatens	the	survival	of	a	prospering
and	growing	industry	with	an	inexpensive	cure	will	not	be	welcomed.	Proven
and	effective	cancer	cures	were	repudiated	and	suppressed	by	the	American
Medical	Association	(AMA)	and	the	U.S.	Food	and	Drug	Administration	(FDA).
Discoverers	of	these	cures	were	isolated,	harassed,	persecuted,	prosecuted,
financially	ruined	and	destroyed,	and	their	treatments	essentially	have	been	lost.
Some	events	described	in	Haley’s	book	are	bizarre	and	are	hard	to	believe,	yet
they	are	documented	by	evidence	presented	at	jury	trials	and	recorded


 aged orin pulling. If you don't know what oil pulling is then look it up. Oil
pulling is very beneficial for oral hygiene but orin pulling is a thousand times better. In
fact fresh orin pulling is a thousand times better than oil pulling, and aged orin pulling is
a thousand times better than fresh. So much so that you have to be careful as it is so
very powerful at cleaning your mouth or anywhere for that matter.
I had been fresh orin pulling for a while because I found it far better at drawing out toxins
than coconut or other oils. I then tried some good quality aged orin. After a short time I
noticed it did such a powerful job of cleaning my mouth it actually took off the top layer
of skin from my tongue and inside my mouth. That's how powerful it is. It was the cleanest my mouth had ever been since I was a new born baby. This will clean everything
between your teeth and gums and even take the top micro later off everything leaving
new and absolutely clean. It is so powerful it actually peeled the mucus membrane off
the inside of my mouth..but wow food tasted so much more flavor..I imagine drinking it
does the same all the way through...top to bottom enemas. Same thing happens with
full body rubs, it takes the very top layer of skin off, but at the same time the step cells
create new fresh skin. This is very good for you and your skin.
To illustrate, there is a product for cars called T-cut. It is a very abrasive polish like
product. T-Cut restores paint finish by stripping the thin top coat of your paintwork and
leaving it looking new. If you are going to sell a car then applying T-cut makes the paint
look as good as when it was brand new. The problem is of course that every time you
apply it you thin the paint a little more. Its the same with full body aged orin rubs all over
your skin. Except that your body is producing stem cells which are constantly making
new skin from underneath, and the top layer is supposed to come off. Applying aged orin
will take the very top layer of skin off, but at the same time you are leaving a lot of
amazing stem cells on your brand new skin underneath. These can become whatever
they need to become, as in this case your new skin. You will look like a brand new car as
with T-cut but you dont have to ever worry about applying too much and your skin
becoming thinner and thinner. In fact your skin will become far more healthy and radiant.
For me aged orin pulling for about 20 mins in your mouth is way too powerful. It really
does take the top layer of skin off. Now I only do fresh orin pulling for around 20mins
which is still great for drawing out toxins but more gentle. It will only take an
unnoticeable amount of the top layer off. But I do sip a little aged orin almost everyday
at my eating hour. I only drink it at my omad one hour eating window because it will take
you out of a fasted state. It is not exactly the same as what is in your blood at that time,
unlike fresh orin which will not take you out of a fasted state. Doing body rubs will not
take you out of a fasted state but still gets the goodness into the blood. Aged orin rubs
will also clean the skin extremely well, taking off the very outer layer of skin. Don’t
overdo it because it will thin the skin but as said, this is not a bad thing, as the aged orin
has crazy high amounts of stem cells which become whatever they need to become. The
stem cells become new fresh skin to replace the old that you just washed off.
Some people age their orin for the natural high. Injecting orin is far better for you
than anything else you could ever inject. It is very powerful and needs
researching a great deal before attempting. Snorting orin up your nose is far
better than anything else you could ever take up your nose. Of course drinking
orin and aged orin is far better than any other substance in the universe.
The "high" sure comes and it's a result of freeing one's body from the parasitic
forces, by killing the parasites in the gut, stomach and brain.. or wherever they
are! Drinking large quantities of aged urine or applying via the skin is fantastic,
because urine goes everywhere and is the best and most safe parasite killer.
Some people do aged orin enemas, yes this is amazing, but I prefer a top to
bottom enema, or so called internal enema. You just drink a lot of aged orin at
one time, and it will be like an enema that cleans right through you. The high
might come after a few times doing this. Just keep going. It's not the amount of
aged urine what defines the high, but the amount of parasites it has killed and
how many are still remaining in your system.
This is a very powerful thing to do, not for the fainthearted. Certainly not for the
inexperienced. The longer you age your orin the more powerful it becomes. If
you drink a lot of it, you will feel a fire inside you. This is killing all the parasites that should not be inside you. Once again because it is so important, this is an
extremely powerful healing modality. The detox symptoms may be too much for
somebody who is very toxic, far better to take things gently until you get your
body relatively clean first.
You will see stars, and some people hallucinate drinking powerful aged orin.
Everything becomes pixaleted and you have a rush like nothing you ever
experienced before. It is a natural high, that is very good for you. Getting high
from your own supply. It is far better than getting stoned or getting drunk. It is
natural and feels great.
What gives you the "high" is YOUR OWN ENERGY. It's the energy of you freeing
up your pineal gland from all the inorganic concrete or plaque around your brain.
From ridding your body of all the bad bacteria and parasites that negatively
affect you.
This is actually your NATURAL STATE, that you will experience when your body is
CLEAN - the cleaner it gets, the more you experience it and you will remain in
that NATURAL HIGH state if you simply keep your body clean afterwards, through
watching your diet. People who get to this clean state are glowing and radiant.
They are very happy internally because there are no parasites to affect their
thinking.
Yes parasites do affect your brain, you’re thinking and your feelings. Some
studies in London proved how parasites affect the subjects risk taking and mood.
It is also proven that many cravings for sugar and other bad foods come from
your parasites. When you get them out of you, you feel naturally elated, adding
to your joy and happiness.
Parasites enter in the body when we lower our immune response and unnatural
foods (toxins) are what compromise our immune system, because they are so
hard to digest, staying for too long in the digestive tract, causing fermentation
and acidity... a breeding ground for parasites.
Natural foods like fresh raw fruits and veggies (plant based foods) are the easiest
to digest. They will not obstruct the body, especially fruits. High water content
fruits are the best. Watermelons are some of the highest water content, but you
really want local grown as much as possible. Apples, pears and plums are some
of my favorites freshly picked, and or frozen when out of season.
One experienced orin therapist of multiple decades called Monica AKA Changa
Charanga talks about this state of bliss alot, she is in her 40s but looks like a
very attractive 20 year old. She eats only one meal a day of fruit and loops all
her orin. She says...
"In a totally clean body, when this state is arrived (which only few achieve),
hunger and even thirst completely disappear. And being high all the time, you
have no need to make yourself "happy" with food. Your own natural high state is
WAY BEYOND more gratifying and exciting than any taste in your palate. Trust me, I've been there, it's like having a thousand orgasms non stop. You don't
think of food AT ALL.
I got to experience that state and remained there for many hours (almost a full
day) after a 4 day urine fast, which I did after 2-3 months eating only one fruit
meal a day, while practicing UT very intensively.... using a lot of aged urine to
cleanse my body, through enemas (several a day), drinking little sips and doing
long massage sessions - whole body rubs every single day, which equals to
drinking about a full glass or more of aged urine through the skin. The skin starts
absorbing the aged urine much quicker, when there are no additional toxins
being introduced into the body through unnatural foods. Also, the more one does
the body rubs with aged urine, the more this frees all the pores and inner
channels to allow more absorption of aged urine.
During my 4 day urine fast I was also massaging my body daily for many hours
with aged urine. This really got rid of all the parasites in my system and
activated my pineal gland.
It's our natural state to be that "high" and we simply have to keep the body
clean, so our own energy can flow


 the patient, a Mexican farmer in his late thirties,
had been rendered virtually helpless by his disease.
Parkinson’s strikes about 1 percent of people over age 50.
It begins with muscle tremors, rigidity of the limbs, or a
tendency to move very slowly. The immedia te cause of
these symptoms is a deﬁciency of dopamine, the same
brain chemic al that leads to schizophrenia when it is in
oversupply. For reasons not yet known, the nerve cells that
produce dopamine, located in a part of the brain stem
called the substantia nigra, begin to die, creating the
deﬁciency. Without enou gh dopamin e, the brain’s ability to
regulate muscle movement is impaired and ﬁnally lost.Any or all three of Parkinson’s symptoms grows worse
over time, until the patient is totally incapacitated. The
playwright Eugene O’Neill contracted Parkinson’s in his
ﬁfties. It became increasingly diﬀicult for him to write as
his shaking became more  severe. He had planned a cycle of
four plays that were to be his masterpiece, but his disease
destroyed everything: one glance at the surviving
manuscripts reveals that O’Neill could barely form the
cramped, spidery, pathetically illegible letters. Through
heroic endurance, he managed to commit his words to
paper, but no one has ever been able to decipher what they
say.
In Mexico, Madrazo’s patient, though considerably
younger than most Parkinson’s victims, had been  conﬁned
to his bed, suﬀering from constant, rhythmic tremors that
made him unable to walk without assistance. After the
surgery, he could walk, run, feed himself, work in his
garden, and, as a moving ﬁlm of him shows, once again
take his young children in his arms.
Dr. Madrazo’s operation opened the door for other
Parkinson’s patients, of which there are over a million in
the United States alone. By the end of 1987, two hundred
similar operations had been performed throughout the
world. Madrazo performed twenty of these, all with
considerable success. (Previous attempts at the same
surgery had failed, as have many since. Madrazo believes
that his success is due to the exact location he chooses for
his implants.) But the long-term consequences are just now
being considered—sudden ly, and with little warning, neuro-
researchers are confronted with the science-ﬁction
possibility of a “brain transplant.”
What makes any brain-ti ssue graft such a shock is that
medicine has always believed that the brain could not heal
itself—which is why almost all brain damage, either by
accident or disease, has been considered irreversible. Onlyin 1969 did a researcher in Cambridge, Godfrey Raisman,
prove with an electron microscope that damag ed nerve
cells can sprout new growth. Now Madrazo has shown that
the brain not only can heal itself but will accept tissue from
other organs. His transplant for Parkinson’s was done with
cells from the adrenal gland, which also produces
dopamine; the surgery can also be performed using brain
tissue from another person or even from a pig fetus.
Neuroscientists currently  hypothesize that the brain is
endowed with a complex chemical repair system that was
almost totally unknown a few years ago. A Swedish
research team has shown that memory loss in rats can be
reversed by injecting them with one of the brain’s major
repair chemicals, a key protein called NGF, or nerve growth
factor. By analogy, the brain damage associated with
Alzheimer’s disease, which also involves memory loss, may
be treatable in the same way. The Swedish experiment also
implies an advance over the brain-tissue graft, because it
did not use live tissues or require surgery.
One after another, the basic tenets of brain physiology
are having to be reconsidered and drastically modiﬁed. The
breakthroughs continue  to be revolutionary: another
Swedish team has shown that nerve cells can be implanted
onto the retina of the eye, whose surface is just an
extension and spreading out of the optic nerve. After they
are implanted, the cells begin to grow new branches,
conﬁrming that regeneration in the brain is possible and
normal. Once again,  this research involved laboratory
animals and not human subjects, but the applications for
treating blind people are obvious; likewise, other grafts
may beneﬁt victims of traumatic brain injury, strokes, and
various brain disorders.
I want to emphasize that none of these advances would
have been possible witho ut a change of concept on the part
of science. It is disturbing to think that the same doctorswho conﬁden tly speak today of healing the brain just as
conﬁdently pronounced it impossible in 1985. The roots of
the brain graft actually go back many years, to 1912, when
Elizabeth Dunn, a researcher at Rockefeller Institute,
successfully implanted nerve cells into a mouse ’s brain.
Her research was greete d with total indiﬀerence. (One is
reminded that penicillium mold was observed to kill
bacteria more than 140 times, and accordingly written up
in the literature, before Alexander Fleming “discovered”
this fact. Previous to him, all the other researchers had
been annoyed that their carefully grown laboratory
cultures were being spoiled by the intrusion of the green
mold. Fleming himself threw out his infested bacter ia
cultures, only later realizing that he had a wonder drug in
the making.)
Another pioneer in brain-graft research, Don M. Gash,
now at the University of Rochester, was pulled aside by a
senior facult y member at the beginning of his career and
told, “Dr. Gash, you’re a young man with a promising
career ahead of you. Don’t waste your time on a silly idea
that can’t be true.”
The very notion that there is a transplant at work arouses
intense skepticism. Critics of Madrazo’s procedure have
noted that the recovery time of his patients, which begins
within a few weeks after the brain cells are implanted, is
far too fast for the new tissue to “take.” It may be that the
brain is repairing itself totally on its own, releasing
chemicals in response to the surgical wound rather than
from the new cells (rather like an oyster releasing mother-
of-pearl in response to a bit of grit under its shell).
—
Perhaps these ﬁndings are telling us not so much to
perform more transplant surgery but rather to look for new
abilities in the brain as a living, dynamic organ. For all thatit has been gloriﬁed by modern medicine, the brain has
been the most frozen part of the frozen sculpture model of
the body, since it alone could not repair itself. On the face
of it, this is a suspicious claim. All the cells in your body,
whether a hair follicle, a neuron, or a heart cell, grew out
of one double strand of DNA at the moment of conception.
Everything you can do—think, speak, run, play the violin, or
rule a country—builds on a capacity programmed into that
one original  molecule. Therefore, to say that a neuron
cannot heal itself is the same as saying that its DNA has
been crippled. Is this a reasonable assumption? Certainly
the DNA has decided to become a brain cell instead of a
heart cell, and that involves expressing certain parts of its
potential while suppressing others.
But this is totally diﬀerent from saying that any ability in
the DNA has been lost. Nothing is lost in DNA. Each cell in
the body contains all of DNA’s inﬁnite possibilities all of the
time, from the moment of conception until the moment of
death. Proof of this exists in the procedure called cloning:
theoretically, one can take a cell from the inside of your
cheek and, given the right conditions, produce an identical
copy of you, or a million identical copies. The genius of
nature is that she did not settle for a million identical
clones; indeed, only the lowest organisms consist of
identical cells, and most of them are single-celled, like the
amoeba. Yet, the distinction between an amoeba and a
human being  breaks down at the level of DNA, in this
sense: all of the amoeba is contained in its little packet of
DNA, and all of you is contained in yours. So it should not
be so surprising that a neuron actually can (under
circumstances we do not quite understand) decide to drop
its rule about not repairi ng itself and suddenly begin to do
just that. Its DNA is not crippled.
The truth of the matter is that the brain is too complex to
be turned into a model, and science by deﬁnition workswith models. Models are useful, but without exception they
have blind spots built into them. To see brain function, or
any function  in the body, without a model, you would have
to see it as a very abstract and seemingly contradictory
thing, as non-change being preserved in the midst of
dynamic change.
As non-change, the body is solid and stable, like a frozen
sculpture. As change, it is mobile and ﬂowing, like a river.

standing	desks.	If	you	spend	several	hours	a	day	working	at	a	desk,	this	might
be	an	ideal	option	for	you.	If	getting	a	new	desk	is	out	of	your	budget	at	the
moment,	you	can	try	creating	your	own	standing	desk	by	stacking	books	or	solid
boxes	in	one	corner	of	your	desk	to	your	standing	height,	and	propping	your	laptop
on	them	to	work.
Make	sure	to	get	up	and	stretch	or	go	for	a	quick	walk	to	the	printer,	to	grab
more	water,	or	just	to	circle	around	your	office	or	home	at	least	every	20	to	30
minutes.	Eventually	it	will	feel	like	second	nature	to	get	up	more	often,	even	if
it	feels	like	a	lot	of	moving	around	at	first.	Whether	or	not	you	exercise,	you
can’t	sit	the	rest	of	the	day	and	expect	your	body	to	respond	by	reflecting	itsmaximum	health	and	beauty	potential.
Radical	Beauty	Daily	Movement	Solutions
It’s	clear	by	now	that	your	life	shouldn’t	be	drastically	divided	into	two
opposing	states:	exercise	and	inactivity.	Movement	needs	to	be	broken	up
during	the	entire	day	in	order	for	you	to	glean	optimal	health	and	beauty
benefits.	Here	are	some	of	the	top	ways	you	can	incorporate	movement
throughout	your	day.
TAKE	FREQUENT	BREAKS
At	least	every	30	minutes	or	so,	stand	up	and	stretch,	walk	around	for	a	few
minutes,	or	run	an	errand.	You	can	even	do	a	few	exercises	like	push-ups	or
with	free	weights	next	to	your	desk	if	you	work	from	home,	or	if	it	doesn’t	feel
too	weird	in	your	office.	If	you	sit	in	an	open	space,	just	walking	around	might
be	a	more	feasible	(and	less	awkward)	option.
TAKE	THE	STAIRS
This	is	an	oldie	but	goodie	recommendation	that	you	may	have	been	hearing
for	years	but	never	followed.	Taking	a	deep	breath	and	bypassing	the	elevator	in
favor	of	the	stairwell	is	an	easy	way	to	incorporate	more	activity	in	your
everyday	life.	You	can	start	with	two	floors	and	build	from	there,	using	the
elevator	to	fill	in	the	rest.
SOCIALIZE	WHILE	MOVING
Instead	of	meeting	friends	for	coffee,	tea,	lunch,	or	dinner,	meet	up	for	a	hike
or	a	walk	through	your	neighborhood.	You’ll	be	able	to	chat	and	catch	up	while
being	active	together.
MAXIMIZE	YOUR	LUNCH	HOUR
Use	this	time	to	walk	around	the	neighborhood	near	your	office.	You	can	get	in
at	least	a	good	mile	if	you	walk	for	a	brisk	15	to	18	minutes.	Keep	some
sneakers	at	your	desk	and	pop	them	on	before	heading	out	at	lunchtime.
WALK	AND	TALK
Walk	around	while	talking	on	the	phone.	Thanks	to	cell	phones,	no	longer	do
you	have	to	be	rooted	in	a	seated	position	to	talk.	This	practice	alone	could
create	a	lot	of	movement	during	your	day.TALK	FACE	TO	FACE
Walk	down	the	hallway	to	see	a	colleague	rather	than	e-mailing	them.	This
encourages	more	social	interaction	as	well	as	movement—two	diminishing	yet
healthy	aspects	of	our	society.	After	all,	we	were	meant	to	have
some
	regular
social	interactions	as	human	beings.
TRADE	YOUR	CHAIR	FOR	A	STABILITY	BALL
This	will	encourage	you	to	use	your	core	muscles	during	the	day	to	remain
stabilized.	Don’t	worry	if	your	colleagues	chuckle	at	your	“chair	ball”	at	first.
Eventually	they	will	probably	want	to	get	one	also,	and	you	can	feel	smug	that
you	were	the	office	trendsetter	who	started	it	all.
PARK	FARTHER
Get	in	the	habit	of	choosing	a	spot	in	the	back	of	the	parking	lot	so	you	can	get
a	longer	walk	into	the	store.	This	is	especially	great	while	you’re	out	running
errands	during	lunchtime	to	break	up	all	of	that	sitting	you	do.
DITCH	THE	CAR
If	possible,	walk	or	bike	to	work	or	to	do	any	errands	you	can.	If	you	take	the
bus	or	the	subway,	get	off	at	an	earlier	stop	so	you	can	walk	some	distance	to
get	home	or	to	work.
PLAY	WITH	YOUR	KIDS
Get	outside	and	try	kicking	or	throwing	a	ball	around.	This	is	a	great	way	to
establish	regular	movement	practices	for	the	whole	family	and	help	your
children	set	healthy	habits	for	an	active	life.
MULTITASK	DURING	TV	TIME
If	you	do	watch	TV,	this	is	one	great	time
to
	multitask	(unlike	at	mealtimes).
Keep	a	yoga	mat	near	your	television	set	and	get	in	the	habit	of	doing	a	few
yoga	poses	(see
this	page
–
this	page
)	or	stretches	while	watching	your	favorite
show.	And	try	to	avoid	“binge	watching”	whole	seasons	in	one	or	two	sittings,
which	is	now	possible	with	streaming.	Try	to	discipline	yourself	to	old	school,
prestreaming	style:	one	episode	at	a	time.
The
Aging	Effects	of
OverexercisingWhile	there	are	so	many	benefits	to	moving	throughout	the	day,	there
is
	such	a
thing	as
overdoing	it.	It’s	well	established	that	moderate	amounts	of	exercise
can	increase	antioxidant	defenses	and	offer	innumerable	health	and	beauty
benefits	such	as	increased	circulation	and	blood	flow.	Excessive	movement,
however,	can	actually	be	depleting	and	create	oxidative	stress,	a	form	of	free-
radical	creation	that	leads	to	accelerated	aging.
17
	This	is	when	your	workout
stops	working	for	you	and	may	actually	start	doing	more	harm	than	good.
First,	let’s	define	oxidative	stress.	Free	radicals	are	morphed	cells	that	your
body	creates	as	a	result	of	exposure	to	pollutants	and	toxicity,	as	well	as	natural
processes	like	metabolism.	Your	body	uses	different	antioxidants	to	prevent	and
control	damage	from	these	free	radicals.	When	free	radicals	overwhelm	your
antioxidant	defenses,	your	cells	become	damaged.	This	damage	is	called
oxidative	stress
.
18
	There’s	a	lot	of	data	suggesting	that	oxidative	stress	contributes
to	inflammation	and	aging	in	different	ways,

	including	aging	of	the

	and	numerous	studies,	including	research	from

,	show	that	acute	bouts	of	exercise	can	induce	a	state	of
oxidative	stress.
24
You	don’t	have	to	be	fearful	of	any	amount	of	oxidative	stress.	It	would	be
nearly	impossible	to	live	without	having
some
	in	your	body,	and	even	newer
research	is	finding	that	oxidative	stress	is	beneficial	in	small	amounts	by
prompting	your	body	to	increase	its	antioxidants.
25
	Over	time,	this	can	help
your	body	recover	more	quickly.	In	other	words,	you	can	become	slightly	more
immune	to	the	effects	of	oxidative	stress.	Research	on	serious	athletes	with	the

 work, pub lished in Guolin Research Report, involved 2,873
14 Introduction
terminal cancer patients who took part in an experiment wherein Chi-Kung
therapy was used to treat their afflictions. Within a six-month period, about
12% of the patients were cured and about 4 7% showed significant improve
ments in their conditions. About 41% showed no improvement. Another
experiment involving school children was conducted to test one part of
Chi-Kung -the eye exercises. Their exercise routine was accompan ied by
music and instructional intercom announcem ents. As results of the exer
cises, farsightedness, nearsightedness, and other eye problems became a
rare affliction. Other experiments conducted on Chi-Kung therapy demon
strated tremendous and rapid efficaciousness against sinus allergies,
hemorrhoids, prostate problems, and aging. In the hospitals, clinics, and
health organizations of China, Chi-Kung therapy reigns supreme above
other treatments, such as chemotherapy, surgery, and acupunctur e. Its
effectiveness was found to lie in its ability to cure and prevent disease.
In the U.S., a scientific study was conducted on the Internal Exercises by
Dr. Cecilia Rosenfeld. After practicing the Internal Exercise and experi
encing an immediate improvement in health, Dr. Rosenfeld decided to
prescribe these exercises to her patients. Internal Exercises were taught to
her patients, and within one week, about 80% of the patients showed
positive results. Then eight nurses were hired, taught about the Internal
Exercises, and trained in the instruction and supervision of patients.
Afterward, several patients were assigned to each nurse after the patients
were examined and given a prescription of specific Internal Exercises.
Most patients reported that they experienced immediate improvements in
health, without feeling pain or discomfort, and the nurses themselves
reported that they had boundless energy even after a day of performing and
demonstrating the exercises. As one nurse explains: "It used to be that a
nurse's life was miserable. Every day all we saw was sickness, suffering,
pain, and death. We heard only complain ts. The patients never called the
nurse to say 'Isn't it a nice day?' After working eight hours on our feet, we
felt as if we were ready to die. But now, since we started using these
exercises-a hundred times a day-we feel as if we're ready to jump
through the roof at the end of the day! We have so much energy we can't
stand it anymore!''
As a result of this study, the Internal Exercises became a subject of study
for many universities, colleges, medical schQols, hospitals, and the general
public.
What underlies such miraculous results?
Prevention, a principle of the Tao of Revitalization, is one key to the
15 Introduction
Internal Exercises'efficacy: if minor health problems do not develop,
major health problems do not develop, and if major health problems do not
develop, we will not die. So the primary purpose of Tao of Revitalization is
to help people increase their lifespan.
Therefore, Tao of Revitalization is not a sport. It is not designed to
provoke competition and strenuous movements, increase stress or tension,
deplete energy, or, in other words, decrease one's lifespan. Neither is it a
fonn of martial art. Unlike Kung Fu, Karate, etc., it involves neither
strenuous movements nor tension. Although the movements in T' ai Chi
Chuan appear slow, they actually build tension, for T'ai Chi Chuan was
originally designed for combat. However, one aspect of T'ai Chi Chuan,
that of the unification of mind and body, is similar to that of the Tao of
Revitalization. Further, Tao of Revitalization is not Hatha Yoga in that it
does not overwhelm the body with a series of twisting, bending, or
stretching poses and motions. Lastly, Tao of Revitalization is not another
fonn of meditation, because the objective of the most popular fonns of
meditation is to ''empty'' the mind-inactivate the mind. The mind cannot
be emptied, for directing it to do so is itself an activation of the mind.
In the Tao of Revitalization, the emphasis has been lifted to internal,
rather than external, development. Initially the Tao of Revitalization
involves physical movem ent, but as one's practice gradually becomes
refined, one's concentration upon physical moveme nt will be reduced and
one's concentrat ion upon internal movement will be increased. One will
become still externally, but alive and active internally. Anything that does
not meet these principles is not Tao of Revitalization.
Its strength also lies in Tao of Revitalization's flexibility. Anybody,
regardless of age, health, or condition, can practice the exercises of his or
her choice anytime, anywhere. No equipment is necessary. The most basic
of metabolic processes, breathin g, can be transformed by the appropriate
Tao of Revitalization techniques into a powerful therapy. The conscious
state of mind and body movement are also potential therapies.
The heartwanning benefits so immediately reaped from a sincere and
selfless application of any of the exercises are enough to instill within us a
kind of fervor which of itself will move us forward along the path of greater
understandi ng, longevity, and spiritual development.
When you do external exercises,
you must do internal exercises.
When you do internal exercises.
you may forget to do external exercises.

Taoism
The Complete System of Self-Hea ling : Internal Exercises is about one
part of the living philosophy of Taoism. Taoism is the eldest of the world's
religions. Its founder, Lao-Tse, the best-know n and perhaps greatest of
Taoist sages, laid the groundwor k which was to support the Eight Pillars of
Taoism when he wrote the Tao Te Ching. The Tao Te Ching itself is
primari ly a political treatise and a theoretical representation of Taoism
expressed from the point of view of an enlightened being. The formulation
ot'the practical and functiona l aspects was left to other Taoist sages-the
Yellow Emperor, for instance. When other ancient Taoist masters
devised-in addition to the basic spiritual doctrines and philosophy of
Taoism-innumerable techniques designed to ultimately transform and
immortaliz e the physical body, the Eight Pillars of Taoism materialized.
The Eight Pillars are eight branches of Taoist thought and practice, and
they are symbolized as eight trigrams in the Pa-Kua, the symbol of Taoism.
The Internal Exercises themselves form one pillar of Taoism. Taoism

THE TAO OF PHILOSOPHY
The Tao of Philosophy discloses the logic underlying the way life
unfolds and the purpose of destiny. It is a collection of guidelines that is
used by the individual as well as the collectivity for attaining success and
spiritual elevation. Based on the spiritual discovery of hidden but ever
permeating and reliable laws of this universe, the Tao of Philosophy
provides detailed information on the proper methods of governm ent and
fosterage of social development and individual well-being.
THE TAO OF REVITALIZATION
This is the subject of this book, the purpose of which is to e xplain clearly
the complete theory and practice of the Tao of Revitalization.
The Internal Exercises direct the innate healing power to specific internal
organs and glands to energize the entire body, balance the energy level, and
promote a more effective functioning of the internal organs, in order to
heal, adjust, correct, and above all prevent disease. In sum, their main
purpose is to promote longevity.
There are three categories of Internal Exercises.
The first category of Internal Exercises includes those designed to
21 Taoism
correct sitting, reclining, walking, and working postures, to facilitate
healing. These exercises are the Five Animal Exercises, Eight Directional
Exercises, Twelve Zodiac Exercises, and Twelve Nerve Exercises. Also
included are the basic exercises known as the Deer Exercise, the Crane
Exercise, and the Turtle Exercise.
The second category includes Meridia n Meditation, also known as
Trip-Around-the-World Meditation, or simply Taoist Contemplation. A
tremendous healing art, Meridian Meditation is used to adjust, balance,
and elevate the energy level in the body. By meditating on the pathways of
energy in the body, anatomi cally known as the meridians, a person is able

 foundation, as a completely raw
diet has not yet been used throughout life, under scientific
observation, by any member of the human species. In nature
an uncooked diet affords a normal life span of five to eight times the growth period for most forms of mammalian life.
The same may be possible for man, though more than one
generation might be required and other hygienic factors also
enter the picture. What, one may ask, would the optimum
length of human life be under such conditions, as nutrition became adequate and all biological requirements were
successfully met?
   Using the coefficient given the length of animal life, it
might approximate 100 to 150 years. Haller, the great
physiologist of the eighteenth century, gave an even higher
estimate and considered man's normal span of life to be no
less than 200 years. Hufeland agreed and claimed that man's organism "is capable of living and functioning to the age of
200 years." The scientist, Elie Metchnikoff, was more
conservative, though his estimate of more than a century as
the normal limit of human life indicated a great increase over
the present-day life expectancy. After 15 years of research on the subject, the late Alexander A. Bogomolets, founder and
director of the Kief Institute of Experimental Biology in the
Soviet Ukraine, issued this viewpoint: "It may sound
paradoxical but a man of 60 or 70 is still young. He has lived
only half his natural life.... Normal longevity at the present level of human development may be scientifically determined
as being 125 to 150 years. There is no reason, however, to consider these figures as limits."
   On the relationship of raw food to the length of human life
we may thus arrive at an optimistic biological probability. On the relationship of raw food to the development of specific
diseases, and the treatment of specific diseases, we also can
be optimistic, though in this case we need not speculate at all,
but can cite many human experiences which afford
corroboration. Fortunately there has been very extensive human use of certain raw foods in certain areas, and there has
been much clinical work already done with exclusive raw
food diets. These show, in actual practice, exactly to what
extent the animal experiences with raw food can be applied to
humans, as pertains to physical development and the
prevalence of many common diseases.

R

   As in the case of experimental animals, much of the
information concernin g raw food consum ption b y humans involves a study of raw versus pasteurized milk. As soon as
pasteurization came into use in various cities, striking
changes were observed in public health statistics, particularly
as applied to infants. In the three largest hospitals in Toronto, Canada, there was a sharp increase in the death rate after
pasteurized milk came into use. In Berlin, Germany,
pasteurization was adopted in 1901, and followed by a virtual
epidemic of scurvy throughout the city, though previously
this disease was uncommon. An investigation was made as to the cause of the disease; pasteurization was judged
responsible, and as the process was later discontinued the scurvy disappeared just as rapidly as it had earlier appeared.
   In 1917 the American scientist, Dr. F. A. Hess of Columbia
University, published the results of his extensive research on
the cause and remedy of scurvy. He indicated that scurvy
could be produced or cured at will in infants simply by altering their diet as regards the use of raw and pasteurized
milk. Infants given only pasteurized milk tended to display
evidence of scurvy within six months. Those on raw milk
were free from the disease, and when the food was added to
the diet of those already afflicted, recovery was the general rule. Subsequent investigations by Ragner Berg and other
scientists have confirmed the experience of Hess. Scurvy is
now universally recognized to be a deficiency disease which
can be prevented by the use of raw milk or other food of
adequate potency in vitamin C content. In modern nutrition fruit juices or artificial food supplements are often found
necessary to prevent scurvy when no raw milk is used in the diet.
   Dr. Evalyn Sprawson, of the London Hospital, studied the
rate of dental decay among children in orphan institutions and found that the percentage of decay varied in direct proportion
to the amounts of raw or pasteurized milk in the diet.
Children in institutions that used only raw milk had excellent
teeth as contrasted to others. Among 750 boys in one
institution the addition of a daily ration of raw milk to the diet caused a marked reduction in the number of caries, the effects
being noticeable within two to three years after the beginning
of milk feeding. Data were collected regarding 40 children
(ages 2 to 7) who received raw milk regularly from the age of
4½ months and exhibited complete absence of caries. Another group of 58 were examined who received raw milk
regularly from the age of six years, and they showed no caries
in any tooth erupted after this period. A third group which
started taking raw milk at the age of ten years showed good
results. It was noted that all teeth that had erupted, but were not yet fully formed, came under the beneficial influence of
raw milk. Of further interest is the fact that the children
given raw milk attained improved general health over the others.
Fewer of them required tonsil and adenoid operations, as
compared with other children, which suggests an
improvement in the quality of lymphoid tissue throughout the
body.
   Bone development among infants and children has long
been known to be dependent upon the use of raw or
pasteurized milk. The incidence of rickets rose 100 per cent
in the city of Baltimore, Maryland when pasteurized milk was
introduced as standard food for infants in the city. Raw milk
in itself affords freedom from rickets, though pasteurized milk must be balanced with certain other foods or fish liver
oil supplements if protection is to be provided. Special
pasteurized milk, to which a certain amount of vitamin D has
been added through the process of irradiation, may prevent
rickets, but it has been proven to be very detrimental to animals in other ways, and Dr. Stiner has reported that it may
also prove harmful to non-rachitic children.
   The prevalence of certain infectious diseases also appears to
depend to some extent upon the type of milk used in the diet.
Investigators have pointed out that grippe and diphtheria
occur more frequently among infants given pasteurized milk,
especially when it forms the predominant part of the diet. Digestion, too, is more difficult when pasteurized milk is
used. Cohen and Ruelle, of the Department of Pediatrics in
the University of Brussels, have employed raw milk with
good results in the treatment of specific digestive
disturbances. In the case of diarrhea and vomiting they gave small amounts of raw milk every 1-2 hours to promote
recovery. They believe that certain ferments in milk which aid digestion are destroyed by heating.
   Milk tests among children in schools in Scotland have been
made which indicated that both weight and height increases among children were dependent upon the form of milk that
was used. Fisher and Bartlett have analyzed the figures
resulting from these tests. They have expressed the relative
value of pasteurized milk as a percentage of that of raw milk
as demonstrated by increases in weight and height when the latter is used. Listing the increase on raw milk as 100 per
cent, they show that on pasteurized milk the weight increase
for boys was only 66 per cent, in girls 91 per cent. For height
the increase in boys was 50 per cent and 70 per cent in girls,
the increase thus being significantly greater for both sexes, in
terms of weight and height, when raw milk was used.
   In New York, studies of the relative weight gains made by
infants fed
pasteurized and raw milk was made b y M. Ludd, H. W. Ewarts, and L. W. Franks. The infants were divided
into four groups. The first was given only pasteurized milk;
the second was given pasteurized milk plus orange juice; the
third was given pasteurized milk plus orange juice and cod liver oil, and the fourth was given only raw milk. An analysis
of the percentage in weight gains made by the four groups
showed that the first gained 1.7 per cent in weight; the second
group gained 1.7 per cent; the third gained 9.5 per cent, while
the fourth group, fed entirely upon raw milk, gained 14 per
cent in weight.
   Dr. Francis Pottenger, Jr., while best known for his animal
experiments with raw and pasteurized milk, has also tested
these foods on a clinical basis. He reports that infants fed
upon raw certified milk tend to be healthy, whereas those
given standard formulae consisting of powdered milk,
pasteurized milk, boiled milk, canned milk, etc., frequently suffer from gastric distress, asthma, respiratory infections,
bronchitis, and colds. X-rays of raw milk-fed infants revealed
densely mineralized bones of adequate thickness, together
with wide chests and broad dental arches. X-rays of the
infants

MODULE 7.3
The Vital Role of Proper Food Combination

Throughout this book I have taken you on a simplified journey into the body,
its many systems, and how they work. We have covered disease processes
and their causes. You have learned the importance of the pH of the body.
We’ve examined the two pillars of chemistry: alkalies and acids; and we
looked at the role of acidosis in disease. You are learning the power of raw
foods and their effects on tissue. Now it is time to put these factors together
and examine proper food combinations.
According to the American Dietetics Association, it doesn’t matter how
we combine our foods, as long as we eat proteins, carbohydrates, and some
fat at each meal. This philosophy is ridiculous and unscientific, and we have
all suffered with gas, bloating and acidosis as a result. Chemistry does not
support this approach. As a matter of fact, chemistry becomes our friend
when we look into proper food combinations. For a diabetic, particularly, it is
vital to follow proper food combinations if he or she wants to regulate blood
sugars.
Many great books have been written about proper food combinations,
and I would suggest studying a little about this important subject. (See:
Food
Combining Made Easy
 by Herbert Shelton, and
Proper Food-Combining
Works
 by Lee DuBelle.)
Chemistry tells us that when we combine a base (or alkalie) with an acid,
they neutralize each other. Fermentation and putrefaction then become the
digesters, instead of digestive enzymes. This causes improper food
breakdown and many unwanted chemical changes, all leading to
malabsorption, acidosis and cellular starvation. Protein-dominating foods
when mixed with starches fall into this category.The two most important food-combination tips are, first, to never mix
proteins (acid foods) with carbohydrates (alkaline foods), and second, to
separate your consumption of fruits or melons from any other type of food.
These two tips will be discussed in more detail below.
If you observe proper food combinations you will end the acid
regurgitation, ulcerations, bloating and gas commonly caused by violating
these natural rules. Keep in mind that the fewer types of foods you combine,
the better the digestion of your foods will be. If I ask you to think of ten
different things at the same time you would become confused, as the mind
can attend fully to one thing at a time. Remember this when you are planning
to eat ten different foods at one meal. Simplicity is always best. It’s not
how
much
 you eat, but whether you can digest, absorb, utilize and eliminate what
you have eaten.
Keep your diet simple and keep your life simple. Be happy when you eat.
Never eat when you’re angry or upset, as this causes elevated stomach acids
that can neutralize your digestive efforts and create acidosis. Relax and enjoy
what you are eating. Chew your foods well, as the first stage of digestion
takes place in your mouth. Try not to drink with your meals, as this only
dilutes or neutralizes your digestive enzymes.
THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT FOOD-COMBINING TIPS

Do Not Combine Proteins (acid) and Carbohydrates (alkaline)
In chemistry we learn that we cannot combine acid digestive enzymes with
alkaline digestive
enzymes because they will normally neutralize each other,
causing proper digestion to stop and putrefaction and fermentation to begin.
Carbohydrates begin their digestive process in the mouth with amylase,
ptyalin and other alkaline digestive enzymes. Protein-type foods, including
meat and nuts, start their digestive process in the lower stomach with the
release of HCL (hydrochloric acid), which in turn releases pepsin. These
substances are both acidic in nature.
When a predominant starch combines in the stomach with a predominant
protein, you have a clash. You know this by the bloating and the full feeling
you get after you eat a meal like this. Fermentation of sugar creates alcohol.
This alcohol can stimulate or decrease our energy levels, cause over-acidity,mucus congestion, protein toxicity and inflammation of the tissues. The liver,
pancreas and adrenal tissues get hit the hardest. It is difficult for diabetics to
regulate their blood sugars eating this way.
Separate Your Fruits or Melons from All Other Foods
Fruits and melons digest very quickly. When combined with foods that digest
slowly, their sugars are held up in the stomach. This results in the
fermentation of the undigested sugar, which then yields alcohol. This alcohol
from fermentation of food sugars raises blood alcohol levels and has even
caused plane crashes, car wrecks and DWI arrests.
Make a whole meal of fruits or melons by themselves. These are high
energy and cleansing meals that are very important to the detoxification
process.
There are many other important concepts in proper food combinations,
such as, “Don’t combine two different types of proteins at the same meal,” or
“Certain fruits can combine with certain proteins.” The subject can be quite
vast, and the details are beyond the scope of this book. For more information
see the recommended books listed above.
The simpler you eat, the better it is for your digestive processes. The
better your food breaks down, the more energy you will have. The following
chart provides an overview of proper (and improper) food combinations.

Simple Food Combining

MODULE 7.4The Detox Miracle Menus

I created the following dietary program after thirty years of clinical and
personal use. I call it the “Detox Miracle Diet” because I have seen it heal and
rebuild tissue for thousands of people. I also call this “God’s Rainbow Diet”
because it consists of all colors of fruits and vegetables. Each food and its
color feeds, energizes and heals the body in its own special way. Fruits feed
the brain and nervous system, whereas vegetables feed the


 obedience  to the greatest  extent,  for the Re-
quirements  of the Presence.
You have  no idea,  Beloved  Ones,  how  old momentum,
unknown  to you in the outer  at the present,  acts  subtly  in
your  feeling  world.  That  is why  the Guard  is always  needed,
every  night  and  morning.  At night  before  you  retire,  and
in the morning  when  you  awaken,  call the Presence  to set
That  Guard  into  action,  in and  over  your  feeling  world.
As you do It, you will  find  Tremendous  Assistance  given. 182 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
Our Rejoicing  is so great,  in being  able  to accomplish
these  things,  for These  Three  Points  Accomplished  are
eternally  sustained.  I thank  you for your  willingness,  not to
be curious  to know  all about  It. Do you know,  Dear  Hearts,
and because  this is so remarkable,  I must  mention  it to you:
when  I referred  to this,  there  was  no curiosity  went  forth
from  any  one!  That  I consider  an amazing  achievement
within  you!  You  rested  in what  I said.  Thank  you  with  all
My Heart.  Once  you  understand  It you  will  rejoice.  It is
magnificent,  for it shows  a poise  gained  within  you of Self-
control,  Precious  Ones.  Never  lose  It! I congratulate  you!
Now,  it is not My Intent  to talk  to you  further  than  to
acquaint  you  with  this;  because  of what  the Power  of your
attention  does.  Dear  Precious  People,  your  attention  is the
Most  Powerful  Thing.  Once  you can realize  the Fulness  of
what  you can do by the Power  of your  attention,  there  will
not be one thing  in the world  which  will  retard,  interfere
with  or bind  you  any  longer.  Your  attention  upon  the
"I AM  Presence"  is the Release  of Infinite  Power  for every
single  Requirement  of yours  or whatever  you  might  wish
to do for others.
In My Closing  Words,  I want  to assure  you  today,  there
have  been  released  into  this room,  perhaps  the Most  Power-
ful Healing  Currents  in any  of the Classes.  There  are so
many  calling  forth  to This  Class  for Assistance  from  all
over America,  that  We are releasing  this intentionally.  Now
will you be kind  enough  by the Power  of your  attention,  to
direct  These  Currents  of Energy  to anyone  whom  you DISCOURSE  VIII  183
know  to be worthy;  or to whom  you want  to give  assistance,
so they  may  have  the Help ? It is a Wonderful  Opportunity.
Also  while  I have  this  opportunity,  I wish  to thank  the
People  of Boston,  who  have  come  here  for the first  time,
who  have  accepted;  and  who  have  already  received  such  a
Great  Blessing.  I assure  you,  each  one,  that  it is just  the
beginning  of the Freedom  and  Blessing,  which  you  can
have  and call forth  into  your  world.
I might  offer  this  suggestion  to you  and  to all Students
and Group  Leaders  thruout  America:  If you  will  stand  by
firmly  in your  Call;  and  ask the "I AM  Presence,"  to reach
out Its Hands  and  bring  the earnest  sincere  people,  who
are seeking  This  Light,  into  the Classes,  into  your  Groups
and keep  out all others;  you  will  find  you will  gain  a Mo-
mentum;  and  the Selective  Intelligence  of the Higher  Men-
tal Body  of each  one,  will  actually  reach  out Its Hands  and
by the Power  of Attraction,  draw  to These  Classes  and the
Groups,  the earnest  sincere  people  who  really  want  the
Light;  those  who  do not feel antagonistic;  and  are willing
to put aside  their  own  pre-conceived  ideas,  at least,  to find
out whether  they  care  for This  Understanding.
Recently,  We  have  observed  that  particular  activity
among  the Groups  and  the students  everywhere.  Where  It
has been  adhered  to closely,  the attendance  has expanded
much  more  rapidly,  than  if there  be a feeling  within  the
Group  Leader  or Individuals,  they  have  to do something
outwardly  to get the attention  of the people.
There  are two  activities  and  perhaps  the Radio  is the 184 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
greatest  power  of getting  the attention  of the people,  than
any other  thing.  The  reason  for that  is this:  with  the Tran-
scriptions  and  Mrs.  Ballard's  Work  over  the Radio,  when
the people  are listening  to the Radio,  they  are wholly  quiet
and in their  own  atmosphere.  There  is nothing  to distract
the attention  from  the words  to which  they  are listening.
Now,  Beloved  Ones,  I am not criticising  the students  of
the Classes;  but  let Me just  remind  you,  when  someone
walks  into  the room,  you  know  how  quick  the attention
goes to that  Individual,  until  he or she sits down  and  is
quiet.  Notice,  how  easily  things  in the room  or a movement
will take  your  attention.  I ask you for your  own  blessing  to
pay no attention  to who  comes  in or goes  out;  but  hold
your  attention  upon  what  is being  given!  If you  will  train
yourselves  to do it, you will  sometimes  grasp  points  which
you pass  over  in that  moment,  which  would  be of Infinite
Blessing  to you.
I ask you  to watch  it. Because  of old habit,  the moment
there  is an unusual  movement  somewhere,  the attention
wants  to go there;  and  unless  you  hold  it in a firm  grasp,
it will  do it. The  safe  way  on the point  of concentration,
as the Messenger  once  said  to you in the Class,  is when  you
have  before  you a point  of Achievement,  you  want  to hold
all your  forces  concentrated  and  focused  upon  it. You  can-
not afford  to let outer  activity  draw  your  attention  here  and
there,  if you want  to have  Quick  Accomplishment.  As you
hold  your  attention  steady,  it holds  your  forces  in its one
direction.  Then,  hold  it steady  there,  until  the Power  surges DISCOURSE  VIII  185
in, and  all of a sudden  like  that  (wave  of hand),  it bursts
thru and  the Accomplishment  is complete.
That  is the power  of your  outer  co-operation,  in calling
the Great  Powers  of the Presence  forth,  to any  given  re-
quirement.  As you  watch  and  train  yourselves  to do these
things,  you  can have  so much  quicker  results  in anything,
which  you  call forth  into  action.
So will  you watch  it just within  yourselves—not  in others.
Just take  yourselves  in command  and  see how  you can best
and most  quickly  utilize  the Powers  of the Presence  which
you are calling  forth;  and  hold  your  outer  in an Absolutely
Immovable  Focus,  until  the accomplishment  is complete.
As you  train  yourself  to do these  simple  things,  it becomes
the Most  Marvelous  Thing  in your  Life.  Now  that  does
not require  any  great  effort  so to speak;  but just


 toxins
to flush them out! If it falls below this figure you are
enervated and sick. In our modern civilization, the VitalForce is becoming so overburdened with toxic filth,
pollution and toxins in foods that man keeps creating.
The Big, Filthy Sewer in the Sky Above Us
We are bombarded with noxious and harmful filth
and dirt from our skies. Take New York City as an
example. Roughly 60 tons of airborne dust particles fall
monthly on each square mile. Think of all the airbornedirt the body must battle with to keep a person in New
York alive! No wonder there are so many hospitals and
sick people in that poisoned, toxic city.
Scientists estimate that an inhabitant of an industrial
city such as Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania or Birmingham,
Alabama stands a higher than average chance ofcontracting a deadly lung disease or suffering from heart
trouble, just because of breathing polluted air. That
special form of poisoned air known as “smog” regularlyaffects not only Los Angeles, but Phoenix, St. Louis,
Kansas City, Washington, D.C., New York City and most
big cities across America as well as around the world.
A grim mixture of soot and smoke from factories,
incinerators and power plants; the gaseous by-products
of industry; and the toxic exhaust from cars and trucksare making an ugly, unhealthy mess out of the air most
Americans breathe. Air pollution is a real menace to our
health and lives. Fasting is our best solution in helpingto keep moving these filthy poisons out of our body!
Later in this book, we will explain how to examine
your urine. After a few days of fasting, you will actually
be able to see some of the poisons your body contained.8Rivers, Lakes, Oceans Becoming Polluted
Not only does the air we breathe fill our bodies with
poisons, but our water is so filthy that more strong toxic
chemicals are used to make it “fit?” to drink. An inorganic
mineral called chlorine is used to supposedly help purifyour drinking water... along with alum and many other
inorganic minerals. Remember, your body can only absorb
organic minerals from living plant matter. Any inorganicminerals must be eliminated from the body by the Vital
Force. If it’s below normal and can’t keep up the cleansing,
then these inorganic chemicals become lodged in tissuesand joints to cause future problems!
Lake Erie is critically ill, and the symptoms are there
for all to see. Beaches that once were gleaming with whitesand are covered with odorous green slime. The lake’s
prize fish – walleye, blue pike, yellow perch, and
whitefish – have all but disappeared. One Clevelandhealth student wrote to tell us that “Our lake is a
wastebasket for factories. It is unfit for fish to live in,
and for people to drink and use, because it’s loaded with
toxic, deadly chemicals.” The major reason for the lake’s
terrible pollution is that most of its larger tributaries havebeen turned into little more than open sewers. Detroit
alone pours
1.5 million gallons of waste a day into the
Detroit River, which flows directly into Lake Erie.
The Cuyahoga River, which runs through the middle
of Akron and Cleveland before spilling into the lake, is
so clogged with logs, rotted pilings, chemicals, oil slicksand old tires  that it has been labeled the filthiest water
in America. Added to the scum and stench are thousands
of dead fish that were smothered by the nasty pollution.
On a cruise up the Buffalo River last summer, Buffalo’s
mayor glided past islands of detergents, pools of grain
dust and a general rainbow of dirty industrial discharge.“The odor was overpowering. Unbelievable! Disgusting!”
he concluded. Hopefully, the Buffalo and Cuyahoga
River environmental problems have now been corrected!
We are citing only one water supply among the many
that are completely contaminated. All across America
we find water supplies polluted. We use lots of water
and it’s so heavily chemicalized that it isn’t fit to use.9Fasting – The Key to Internal Purification
Remember that all those inorganic chemicals must
be passed out of your body or they can cause greatdamage. If the body’s Vital Force drops too low then itcan’t force these inorganic chemicals through youreliminative systems. Then they remain in the body andcan cause grave health damage in the future!
If we are to get these poisons out of our bodies we
must fast! By fasting we give our bodies a physiologicalrest. This rest builds Vital Force. The more Vital Forcewe have, the more toxins are going to be eliminated
from the body to help keep it clean, pure and healthy.
Poisons from Chemical Pesticides & Sprays
Tons upon tons of all varieties of deadly chemicals
are not only sprayed in the air to kill insects, but manymore tons are sprayed on commercially grown fruits and
vegetables. Salads are healthy and appetizing, but often
are made deadly because of the use of insecticide sprays.This year’s crops have been exposed to more poisonous
pesticide chemicals than ever before. You must be on
guard and buy and eat organic produce for your health!
Beware of that salad! It may fill your body with deadly
poisons! A convention group of women were having
lunch at a Miami hotel and shortly afterwards, they wereall seized with an attack of cramps. Nausea and dizziness
soon followed. Sick, pale and shaken from vomiting, the
women required medical aid. It didn’t take a physicianlong to trace the source of this outbreak of acute
poisoning. The villain proved to be an appetizing salad
bar, consisting of vegetables, dressings, etc. Stating thereasons for the illness, the doctor said, “The poisoning
was caused by chemicals, ‘stay fresh’ stabilizer spray and
pesticides on the restaurant’s salads and vegetables.”
Dangerous chemical pesticides, insecticides and
fertilizers are used on crops. Recently the FDA reported
the seizure of endive and lettuce contaminated withexcessive residues of toxic pesticide chemicals and
parathion (a highly poisonous agricultural insecticide).10
Some students drink deeply at the fountain of knowledge – most only gargle.Food Crops Often Exposed to Toxic Poisons
Food shipments are often found exceeding the legal
limits of toxic chemical pesticides and are seized. Butthis isn’t the whole sad story of food poisoning. First ofall, only shipments destined for interstate commerce arechecked, and only a small fraction of the country’s totalproduce ever comes under the scrutiny of an inspector.Many tons and truckloads of lettuce containing pesticideresidues “in excess of legal tolerance” will stay withinthe state or community where they are grown and notbe checked at all! As far as shipments across state lines,the U. S. Food and Drug Administration will be the firstto admit that, because of limited manpower, only afraction of the fruit and vegetable shipments in interstatecommerce are checked.
The frightening truth is that a high percentage of
the field crops you are eating have been sprayed with awide variety of deadly poisons! These include chlorinatedhydrocarbons, pesticides, toxic fertilizers, herbicides,fungicides, and other phosphorus and toxic compoundsthat are used in growing. The contamination of saladvegetables doesn’t stop with spraying the leafy portionof the plant. Medical researchers have discovered thatmany chemicals such as fertilizers and weed killersapplied to the soil can remain there for a long time andare then absorbed by succeeding crops grown in thefields. The poison finally ends up in the pulp of thevegetable itself. It becomes part of it and cannot bewashed off! Please start demanding organic produce!
No doubt it has occurred to you that if the vegetables
in your salad are contaminated you should make someeffort to get rid of this poisonous residue before you eattoo much of it. You might feel that peeling off the skinof a tomato or removing the outer layer of the lettucewill do the job. It won’t. Some of the residue will beremoved, certainly, but there will be more in lower leavesand in the pulp itself. The chemicals cannot even bebroken down by cooking! The poison is part of the plant
and is there to stay.  So eat organic and don’t panic!11
Who’s Eating Fast Foods? Americans – 30 Billion Times a Year!
USA Today said 44% of junk food eaters are 35 years or older. Only 23% are youth
under 17 years old. – These Shocking Food Facts are Causing Health Problems.The Miracle of Fasting Aids in
Flushing Deadly Poisons from the Body
When we fast (stop eating) all the Vital Force that
has been used to convert food into energy and body
tissue is now being used to flush poisons from the body!
When Patricia and I  travel throughout America and theworld lecturing, we are fortunate to know health-minded
people everywhere. We are usually well supplied with
organically homegrown fruits and vegetables from theirhealth gardens. But sometimes only commercially grown
foods are available, which may have been sprayed with
poisonous pesticides. So, we fast faithfully to cleansetoxins out, even when traveling, one
24 hour fast weekly.
I do four 7 to 10 day fasting periods yearly. When I
go on a 7 to 10 day complete water fast, I take a specimen
of my urine each morning upon arising. I put it in a
small labeled bottle to
