 power to create your world,
and you are. The Secret to You 165
Maybe you've created things to this point that are wonderful
and worthy of you, and maybe you haven't. The question
I'd ask you to consider is, "Are the results you have in your
life what you really want. And are they worthy of you. " If
they're not worthy of you, then wouldn't now be the right
time to change those. Because you have the power to do that. "All power is from within and therefore
under our control. " JACKCANFIELD
A lot of people feel like they're victims in life, and they'll often
point to past events, perhaps growing up with an abusive
parent or in a dysfunctional family. Most psychologists
believe that about 85 percent of families are dysfunctional, so
all of a sudden you're not so unique. My parents were alcoholics. My dad abused me. My
mother divorced him when I was six. I mean, that's
almost everybody's story in some form or not. The real
question is, what are you going to do now. What do you
choose now. Because you can either keep focusing on that, 166 The Secret
or you can focus on what you want. And when people start
focusing on what they want, what they don't want falls
away, and what they want expands, and the other part
disappears. "A person who sets his or her mind on the
dark side of life, who lives over and over
the misfortunes and disappointments of
the past, prays for similar misfortunes and
disappointments in the future. If you will
see nothing but ill luck in the future, you are
praying for such ill luck and will surely get it. " LISA NICHOLS
You are the designer of your destiny. You are the author. You
write the story. The pen is in your hand, and the outcome is
whatever you choose. If you go back over your life and focus on the difficulties from the
past, you are just bringing more difficult circumstances to You now. Let it all go, no matter what it is. Do it for you. If you hold a grudge
or blame someone for something in the past, you are only harming
You. You are the only one who can create the life you deserve. As
you deliberately focus on what you want, as you begin to radiate
good feelings, the law of attraction will respond. All you have to do
is make a start, and as you do, you will unleash the magic. The Secret to You 167
MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH
The beautiful thing about the law of attraction is that you
can begin where you are, and you can begin to think "real
thinking," and you can begin to generate within yourself a
feeling tone of harmony and happiness. The law will begin to
respond to that. DR. JOE VITALE
So now you start to have different beliefs, like, "There
is more than enough in the Universe. " Or you have the
belief that, "I'm not getting older, I'm getting younger. " We can create it the way we want it, by using the law of
attraction. MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH
And you can break yourself free from your hereditary
patterns, cultural codes, social beliefs, and prove once and for
all that the power within you is greater than the power within
the world. DR FRED ALAN WOLF
You may be thinking, "Well, that's very nice, but I can't do
that. " Or, "She won't let me do that. " Or, "He'll never let me
do that. " Or, "I haven't got enough money to do that. " Or,
"I'm not strong enough to do that. " Or, "I'm not rich enough
to do that. " Or, "I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not. " -
Every single "I'm not" is a creation. 168 The Secret
It is a good idea to become aware when you say, "I'm not" and
to think about what you are creating as you say it. A powerful
insight shared by Dr. Wolf has been equally documented by all the
great teachers with the power of the words I am. When you say "I
am,' the words that follow are summoning creation with a mighty
force, because you are declaring it to be fact. You are stating it with
certainty. And so immediately after you say, "I am tired" or "I am
broke" or "I am sick" or "I am late" or "I am overweight" or "I am
old," the Genie says, "Your wish is my command. " Knowing this, wouldn't it be a good idea to begin to use the two
most powerful words, I AM, to your advantage. How about, "I
AM receiving every good thing. I AM happy I AM abundant. I AM
healthy. I AM love. I AM always on time. I AM eternal youth. I AM
filled with energy every single day. " In his book The Master Key System, Charles Haanel claims that there
is an affirmation that incorporates every single thing any human
being can want, and that this affirmation will bring about har-
monious conditions to all things. He adds, "The reason for this is
because the affirmation is in strict accordance with the Truth, and
when Truth appears every form of error or discord must necessar-
ily disappear. " The affirmation is this: "I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, lov-
ing, harmonious, and happy. " If it sounds like work to drag what you want out of the invis-
ible and into the visible, try this shortcut: see what you want as The Secret to You 169
absolute fact. This will manifest what you want with the speed of
light The second you ask, it is fact in the Universal spiritual field,
and that field is all that exists. When you conceive something in
your mind, know it is a fact, and that there can be no question
about its manifestation. When Henry Ford was bringing his vision of the motor vehicle into
our world, people around him ridiculed him and thought he had
gone mad to pursue such a "wild" vision. Henry Ford knew much
more than the people who ridiculed him. He knew The Secret and
he knew the law of the Universe. "Whether you think you can or think you can't,
either way you are right. " Do you think you can. You can achieve and do anything you want
with this knowledge. In the past you may have underestimated
how brilliant you are. Well, now you know you are the Supreme
Mind and that you can draw anything you want from that One
Supreme Mind. Any invention, any inspiration, any answer, any-"There is no limit to what this law can do for
you; dare to believe in your own ideal; think of
the ideal as an already accomplished fact. " 170 The Secret
thing. You can do anything you want. You are a genius beyond
description, so start telling yourself that and become aware of who
you really are. -MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH
Are there any limits to this. Absolutely not. We are unlimited
beings. We have no ceiling. The capabilities and the talents
and the gifts and the power that is within every single
individual that is on the planet, is unlimited. All your power is in your awareness of that power, and through
holding that power in your consciousness. Your mind can be like a runaway steam train if you let it. It can take
you off to thoughts of the past, and then take you off to thoughts
of the future by taking past bad events and projecting those into
your future. Those out-of-control thoughts are creating too. When
you are aware, you are in the present and you know what you are
thinking. You have gained control of your thoughts, and that is
where all your power is. So how do you become more aware. One way is to stop and ask
yourself, "What am I thinking now. What am I feeling now. " The
moment you ask you are aware, because you have brought your
mind back to the present moment. The Secret to You 171
Whenever you think of it, bring yourself back to the awareness of
now. Do it hundreds of times each day, because, remember, all of
your power is in your awareness of your power. Michael Bernard
Beckwith sums up the awareness of this power when he says, "Re-
member to remember. " Those words have become the theme song
of my life. To help myself become more aware, so I would remember to remem-
ber, I asked the Universe to give me a gentle nudge to bring me back
to the present whenever my mind has taken over and is "having a
party" at my expense. That gentle nudge happens by me bumping
myself or dropping something, a loud noise, or a siren or an alarm
going off. All of these things are signals to me that my mind has
taken off, and to come back to the present. When I receive these
signals I stop immediately and ask myself, "What am I thinking. What am I feeling. Am I aware. " And of course in the moment I do
that I am aware. The very moment you ask yourself if you aware,
you are there. You are


 of those
who had always lived only on their native food, a close proximity to one hundred per cent
immunity to dental caries. These men are natural mariners. They do not hesitate to make long trips
even in rough seas in their homemade crafts. They have an uncanny skill in determining the location
of invisible coral reefs. They relate the height of the swell as it rolls over the reef to particular color
tones in the water, all of which were too vague for me to see even when they were pointed out. Among the inhabitants of the Torres Strait Islands, almost all individuals who had been born
before the foods of modern civilization had become available were found to have dental arches
normal in form. In many families, however, living on islands where a store had been established for
some time, and on Thursday Island where imported foods had been available for several decades,
many individuals were found who had been born since the use of imported foods. They had gross
deformities of the dental arches. This fact is illustrated in Fig. 65 in which typical depression of the
laterals and narrowing of the upper arch and abnormal prominence of the cuspids due to the lack
of space for the normal eruption may be seen. The facial deformity in two white boys is seen in
Fig. 66. Rampant tooth decay in white children is shown in Fig. 67. FIG. 65. The contrast between the primitive and modernized
natives in facial and dental arch form is as striking here as
elsewhere. These young natives were born to parents who
had adopted our modern foods of commerce. Note the
narrowed faces and dental arches with pinched nostrils and
crowding of the teeth. Their magnificent heredity could not
protect them. 7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

Thursday Island. Note the pinched nostrils and deformed
dental arches with crowding of the teeth. The boy at the left
is a mouth breather. FIG. 67. As everywhere these whites prefer the modernized
foods and pay the penalty in rampant tooth decay. They are
in pathetic contrast with the superb unspoiled natives. They
are within reach of some of the best foods to be found
anywhere in the world and yet do not use them; a typical
characteristic of modern whites. We are particularly concerned with data that will throw light on the nature of the forces
responsible for the production of these deformities. Since they do not appear to their full extent
until the eruption of the permanent teeth as part of the development of the adult, it is easy for the
abnormality to be ascribed to the period of child growth. As a result, it has been related to faulty
breathing habits, thumb sucking, posture, or sleeping habits, of the child. It would be difficult to find a more happy and contented people than the primitives in the Torres
Strait Islands as they lived without contact with modern civilization. Indeed, they seem to resent
very acutely the modern intrusion. They not only have nearly perfect bodies, but an associated
personality and character of a high degree of excellence. One is continually impressed with
happiness, peace and health while in their congenial presence.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 122/250    These people are not lazy, but they do not struggle over hard to obtain food. Necessities that
are not readily at hand they do not have. Their home life reaches a very high ideal and among them
there is practically no crime. In their native state they have exceedingly little disease. Dr. J. R. Nimmo, the government
physician in charge of the supervision of this group, told me in his thirteen years with them he had
not seen a single case of malignancy, and had seen only one that he had suspected might be
malignancy among the entire four thousand native population. He stated that during this same
period he had operated several dozen malignancies for the white population, which numbers about
three hundred. He reported that among the primitive stock other affections requiring surgical
interference were rare. The environment of the Torres Strait Islanders provides a very liberal supply of sea foods and
fertile islands on which an adequate quantity of tropical plants are readily grown. Taro, bananas,
papaya, and plums are all grown abundantly. The sea foods include large and small fish in great
abundance, dugong, and a great variety of shellfish. These foods have developed for them
remarkable physiques with practically complete immunity to dental caries. Wherever they have
adopted the white man's foods, however, they suffer the typical expressions of degeneration, such
as, loss of immunity to dental caries; and in the succeeding generations there is a marked change in
facial and dental arch form with marked lowering of resistance to disease. TABLE OF CONTENTS

ISOLATED AND MODERNIZED NEW ZEALAND MAORI
BECAUSE of the fine reputation of the racial stock in its primitive condition, it was with
particular interest that studies were made in New Zealand. Pickerill (1) has made a very extensive
study of the New Zealand Maori, both by examination of the skulls and by examination of the
relatively primitive living Maori. He states:
    In an examination of 250 Maori skulls--all from an uncivilized age--I found carious teeth
present in only two skulls or 0.76 per cent. By taking the average of Mummery's and my own
investigations, the incidence of caries in the Maori is found to be 1.2 per cent in a total of 326
skulls. This is lower even than the Esquimaux, and shows the Maori to have been the most
immune race to caries, for which statistics are available. Comparing these figures with those applicable to the present time, we find that the
descendants of the Britons and Anglo-Saxons are afflicted with dental caries to the extent of 86
per cent to 98 per cent; and after examining fifty Maori school children living under European
conditions entirely, I found that 95 per cent of them had decayed teeth. It will be noted that the basis of computation in the above is percentage of individuals with
caries. I am using in addition to these figures the percentage of teeth attacked by dental caries. Expressed in percentage of teeth affected the figure for Pickerill's group would be 0.05 or 1 in
2,000 teeth. We were deeply indebted to the government officials in New Zealand for their invaluable
assistance. In anticipation of making these studies I had been in correspondence with the officials
for over two years. When we arrived at Auckland, New Zealand, on our way to Australia, our
ship was in port for one day. We were met by Colonel Saunders, Director of Oral Hygiene in the7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 123/250New Zealand Department of Public Health who had been sent from the capitol at Wellington to
offer assistance. A personal representative of the Government was sent as guide, and
transportation to the various Maori settlements in which we wished to make our studies was
provided. New Zealand is setting a standard for the world in the care of growing children as well as in
many other health problems. A large percentage of the schools in New Zealand are provided with
dental service. A specially trained woman was in charge of the work in each school under Colonel
Saunders' supervision.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        If we think of Nature's calendar as one in
which centuries are days and civilizations are years, the part current events are playing in the
history of a great continent like Africa may be mere incidents. This much we do know that throughout the world some remnants of several primitive racial
stocks have persisted to this day even in very exacting environments and only by such could they
have been protected. In my studies of these several racial stocks I find that it is not accident but accumulated wisdom
regarding foods that lies behind their physical excellence and freedom from our modern
degenerative processes, and, further, that on various sides of our world the primitive people know
many of the things that are essential for life-things that our modern civilizations apparently do not
know. These are the fundamental truths of life that have put them in harmony with Nature through
obeying her nutritional laws. Whence this wisdom. Was there in the distant past a world civilization
that was better attuned to Nature's laws and have these remnants retained that knowledge. If this
is not the explanation, it must be that these various primitive racial stocks have been able through a
superior skill in interpreting cause and effect, to determine for themselves what foods in their
environment are best for producing human bodies with a maximum of physical fitness and
resistance to degeneration. Primitive native races of eastern and central Africa have in their native state a very high immunity
to dental caries, ranging from 0 to less than 1 per cent of the teeth affected for many of the tribes. Where modernized, however, the incidence increased to 12. 1 per cent. In the matter of facial deformity thirteen tribes out of twenty-seven studied presented so high a
standard of

Certain magnetic observatories report their eight daily values,
one each for 3-hour periods,�wh ich are averaged to determine the
planetary magnetic indices Ap and Kp. Normalizing factors are
applied to each observatory since magnetic fluctuations are
greater near the auroral zones. In investigating the possible re
lationship of tree potentials to geomagnetic activity, it was de
cided to use the Ap index because it is a linear measure and does
not overly weigh the weaker disturbances. The technique of superposed-epoch analysis- sometimes
simply called 'epoch analysis'-was utilized to see if geomagnetic
173 SEL ECTED PAPERS
activity was associated with fluctuations in tree potential. Values of tree potential were tabulated for six days before to six
days after specific 'key days'. This 13-day span constitutes an
epoch. Key days were chosen with no advance knowledge of tree
potentials by scanning daily Ap values. When a day was found
in which the index rose sharply to values at least twice as high
as previously-after periods of at least a week when the index
was relatively low and steady-such days were designated as key
days. During solar minimum the low and steady periods had Ap
values below 10, while near solar maximum low and steady Ap
values were about 15. Calling the key day the nth day, averages
were obtained of the tree potential values for each day from the
n -6th to the n + 6th. This analysis was done separately for each
year studied. Approximately 20 key days per year were chosen
for the years 1953, 1955, 1957, 1959, and 1961. These years span
one sunspot cycle from minimum to minimum. Because the magnitude and variation of tree potentials change
for different seasons and years, it was necessary to normalize this
parameter. The original tree potentials were tabulated in 24-
hourly readings per day. Only the midnight values were used as
representative of each day, because this was a time of minimum
'noise' as seen in Figure 1. If solar activity, as manifest by the magnetic index, is related
to tree potentials, one might expect to find anomalous tree poten
tials on the key days, or afterward if there was a lag in the tree's
response. The basic question one must ask in this form of analysis
is, 'How do you know an anomalous value of tree potential on
a particular day is associated with magnetic activity?' A causal
relationship between magnetic activity and tree potential cer
tainly cannot be implied if an abnormal fluctuation in tree poten
tial occurs before a solar outburst. However, even if a statistical
correlation were found, it would not necessarily imply causality;
both parameters could he controlled by some other variable(s). 174 SE LEC TED PAPER S

In order to formulate a reasonable hypothesis to test with
epoch analysis, it is necessary to consider how solar activity
modulates the earth's magnetic field. The sunspot index (Wolf
Number) is a crude measure of solar activity, determined simply
from the number and grouping of visually observed sunspots. Areas of large sunspots often produce strong solar flares; but
flares can also occur in solar regions without sunspots. Solar flares produce ultraviolet radiation and sometimes x-rays
and high-energy cosmic rays. These forms of radiation propagate
at or near the speed of light reaching the earth in about eight to
fifteen minutes, where they cause ionization and electric currents
in the ionosphere. In turn the ionospheric disturbances cause
variations in the magnetic field which, when strong enough, are
called'magnetic storms'. Flares also produce corpuscular radiation particles which pro
pagate more slowly, reaching the earth in about one or two days. When these charged particles hit the upper atmosphere, they also
produce ionization. Some are trapped in the magnetosphere,
where they are temporarily stored. When sufficiently accelerated
in the magnetosphere, they may penetrate deep enough into the
atmosphere to cause auroras. Perturbations of the earth's mag
netic field are associated, with these events. Thus magnetic storms occur at two times: (1) Immediately
after a solar flare-due to wave radiation, and (2) Some time after
the solar flare (generally two to four days)-due to corpuscular
radiation. Although it is known that solar particles take about two days
to reach the earth and magnetic storms often commence at that
time, R. Reiter* has found that the Kp index becomes a maximum
on the fourth day following a solar flare. Magnetic storms gener
ally last several days and should not be considered as single
events. Additional bundles of solar particles may reach the upper

phenomena and simultaneous meteorological conditions, Air Force

atmosphere over a period of several days following a solar erup
tion. Thus the magnetic disturbance is perpetuated with one
magnetic storm superimposed upon the next. The total period of
enhanced magnetic activity is typically two or three days and
sometimes longer. Therefore, a lag of four days between solar
flares and maximum of the magnetic index is not inconsisten t
with the model. We can therefore answer the question of what day or days in
an epoch might display anomalous tree potentials if they are
associated with magnetic activity. Assuming little or no delay in
the response of the tree itself, the maximum deviation of tree
potentials should occur on the key day which was chosen as
having a large increase in magnetic index. Some of these days
would correspond to the class of magnetic storms caused by wave
radiation and occur shortly after a flare. According to Reiter's results one would also expect a second
ary peak in the tree potential curve on the (n + 4)th day. The nth
day (key day) effect should be strongest as all these days have
magnetic storms, while the (n + 4)th-day effect should be weaker
not being precisely timed, i.e., there is an enhanced probability
of magnetic activity on the (n + 4)th day, but only some of these
days would actually have magnetic storms. Figure 4 is the result of the five years studied covering one sun
spot cycle and a total of 100 epochs. The maximum tree potential
variation occurs on the key day. It exceeds the average by 2'3
standard deviations (the 98/� confidence level). A secondary peak of about I standard deviation occurs on the
(n + 4)th day. While not statistically significant, this is the only
other maximum in the curve. Both maxima occur on the two days
postulated in the original hypothesis to fit the model. We can conclude from the result of this analysis that tree
potentials respond either to geomagnetic activity directly, or that
both parameters may be under the in�uence of some other geo
physical factor or factors. 176 '"

 of 1972, while staying with friends in Arizona, he quite by chance learned
of Dr. Kelley's work. Several days later, he was on the road again, heading for Dallas
and an appointment with Dr. Kelley. Within a week, Mr. Stirling had begun the full
Kelley regimen. Shortly after, the lymph nodes in his neck and auxiliary regions suddenly enlarged,
within a period of months, the swelling regressed, and today, 27 years after his
diagnosis, he still follows the Kelley Program, remains cancer-free and is in excellent
health. Although a single course of MOPP can cause sterility, Mr. Stirling now has
two children of his own and a third by marriage. In summary, Mr. Stirling suffered widely metastatic, stage IV Hodgkin's disease. After an abbreviated course of MOPP, the disease recurred explosively. However, Mr.
Stirling's cancer went into remission, apparently for good, as he pursued only the
Kelley Program. Update December 1998; Scott and family are doing fine, cancer free,
healthy and happy in San Diego. Lung Cancer Testimonial
Philip Bonfiglio
Mr. Philip Bonfiglio is a 52 year-old man from Ohio, who has survived 13 years
since his diagnosis of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. In early 1974, Mr. Bonfiglio, a heavy smoker, developed a persistent upper
respiratory infection and cough. He consulted his family doctor, who prescribed a
course of antibiotic therapy. Despite the treatment, the symptoms only worsened, and
in March Mr. Bonfiglio returned to his physician. At that time a chest X-ray revealed a
3-centimeter (cm) mass in the upper lobe of the right lung. 131
Winning The Cancer War
Mr. Bonfiglio was admitted to Akron City hospital on April 7, 1974, and the
following day went for exploratory chest surgery. He was found to have a large
inoperable tumor in the right lung that had metastasized to many lymph nodes. These
findings are clearly described in the operative note: "A tumor approximately 4 cm in
greatest diameter was found in the periphery of the posterior segment of the right
upper lobe (of the lung). In the area below the azygos vein were multiple nodes,
which extended posteriorly up along the vena cave and acquired a maximum
diameter of about 3.5-cm. Because of the massive involvement of the mediastinum,
curative resection was not feasible." Evaluation of a biopsy specimen confirmed: "Poorly differentiated carcinoma
consistent with squamous cell type." In addition, all lymph nodes removed at surgery
were positive for metastatic disease. Mr. Bonfiglio's doctors recommended a course of cobalt radiation treatment, which
he began while still hospitalized. Nevertheless, he was told that even with such
treatment, his chances of surviving one year were dim. In the discharge summary, the
attending physician wrote: "The patient, due to the metastatic nature of this
carcinoma, does have a poor prognosis." Mr. Bonfiglio completed the suggested regimen of 5,000 rads to the lungs as an
outpatient. When the tumors continued to grow despite the radiation, a course of
intensive chemotherapy was proposed. But since his disease was believed incurable,
Mr. Bonfiglio refused all further orthodox treatment. Instead, Mr. Bonfiglio decided to
investigate unconventional cancer therapies. He soon learned of Dr. Kelley,
consulted with him and began the Kelley Program in late spring. Over a several month period, his persistent respiratory symptoms resolved, and
within a year, Mr. Bonfiglio says he felt better than he had for a decade. Today, 13
years after his diagnosis, Mr. Bonfiglio still follows his nutritional protocol and is in
excellent health with no sign of his once metastatic disease. Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung is one of the most deadly of cancers. The five
year survival rate for patients with stage III disease, regardless of treatment, is less
than 5%. (1) Stanley reports a median survival of only 24-27 weeks in 32 symptomatic
patients, such as Mr. Bonfiglio, with unresectable tumors. (2)
In summary, Mr. Bonfiglio suffered inoperable, mestastatic lung cancer, which did
not respond to a course of cobalt therapy. It therefore seems appropriate to attribute
this patient's long-term survival to the Kelley program. References:

Robert Beesley
Mr. Robert Beesley is a 67 year-old man from Iowa who has survived nearly 12
years since his diagnosis of metastatic colon cancer. In mid-1975, Mr. Beesley first became fatigued, and developed severe constipation
alternating with episodes of watery diarrhea. Some months later, after noticing bright
red blood in his stool, he consulted his family physician who referred him for tests at
a local clinic. At that time, a barium enema revealed a large, 5.7-cm. mass in the right colon,
which was believed to be consistent with cancer. On July 7, 1975, Mr. Beesley was admitted to Iowa Methodist Medical Center for
further evaluation. A liver-spleen scan was Positive for a "suspicious defect of the left
lobe of the liver." It measured approximately 2.5 centimeters in diameter. Other studies, however, including chest X-rays, showed no sign of metastatic
disease. The following day Mr. Beesley went to surgery for removal of the right half of
his large intestine. In addition to the colon tumor, he was found to have unresectable metastases in
both lobes of the liver, described in the operative note as "two lesions in the liver,
one in the right and one in the left lobe of the liver." The right one was larger than the
left, measuring about 2 by 2 cms. Review of the specimen confirmed a fulminant grade III Adenocarcinoma
extending into the adjacent tissues, as described in the formal pathology report:
"The rectal pouch is filled with bulky ulcerated neoplasm, which is almost
completely circumferential measuring 10 by 6 by 2 cm. Tumor infiltrates directly into
the contiguous mesentery (the tissues adjacent to the large intestine)" — Mr. Beesley
was told he might live three to six months, at most. 133
Winning The Cancer War
The attending physicians, believing him beyond cure, recommended neither
chemotherapy nor radiation. After leaving the hospital on July 21, 1975, Mr. Beesley decided to investigate
unorthodox approaches to cancer. Later that summer, he learned of Dr. Kelley,
consulted with him and began the Kelley program. Mr. Beesley continued the full
Kelley regimen for seven years before tapering down to a maintenance program,
which he still follows. Today, despite the initial terminal prognosis, he is in excellent
health and cancer-free. Although he has not been formally evaluated since his
original surgery 12 years ago, Mr. Beesley believes his continued survival is proof
enough of his cure. Colon cancer, when metastatic to the liver, is invariably rapidly
fatal. Pestana and colleagues at the Mayo Clinic report a mean survival of only 9.0
months in 353 patients presented with liver involvement. (1) In similar studies,
Bengmark describes an average survival of only 7.8 months(2), and Morris a median
survival of 11.4 months. (3)
Obviously, Mr. Beesley's progress represents a most unusual outcome for this
disease. As a footnote to this case, the author was surprised to learn that supporters of
Lawrence Burton, an unconventional therapist with a clinic in the Bahamas, had been
advertising Mr. Beesley as a "Burton Success." When I  mentioned these reports to Mr.
Beesley, he explained that he received several weeks of Burton Therapy in the fall of
1975 — after he had already improved significantly on the Kelley program. Furthermore, Mr. Beesley claims he never finished the prescribed Burton protocol,
and never received any further treatment from Burton. Mr. Beesley himself attributes
his recovery to his many years on the Kelley regimen and not to Burton. Unfortunately, I  have found over the years that many unorthodox therapists
repeatedly claim Dr. Kelley's long-term patients as their own; misrepresentation
obviously does not help cancer patients. References:

 is only because of consciousness
itself that we are aware of what is going on in mind,
and it is because of mind that we are aware of what is
going on with sensations. Because of sensations, we are
aware of what is going on with the physical body. Curiously, however, even consciousness itself can
not report what is going on within itself except for a
greater field that is infmite and without dimension
called the experiential knowingness of subjective
awareness. Because of that quality of awareness that
accompanies existence and beingness, we are capa
ble of awareness. Out of awareness comes the know
ingness of what goes on within consciousness. Consciousness reports what is going on within mind,
and mind reports what goes on with sensations about
the body. Thus, we can see that what we are, in its
highest and greatest sense, refers to the capacity for
subjective awareness. It is solely within consciousness itself that all expe
rience is being experienced. Therefore, to directly
address the source and place of experiencing will lead
to the capabilities of precluding the sources of stress. As described in Chapter 1, the Map of 79 STRESS
Consciousness is a numerical model based on energy
fields and levels of consciousness. The energy fields are
calibrated as to their relative power, labeled according
to common human experience, and thereby readily
and easily understood. At the very bottom of the chart,
for example, is 'Guilt', which, in its form of self-hatred,
is a destructive, negative emotion. From the position of
Guilt, the world is seen as a place of suffering. Guiltiness has an energy field of 30. The lower states
are close to Death, which calibrates at zero.With Death
at zero, achieving a consciousness high enough to
become enlightened calibrates at 600 and over. Guilt, apathy, grief, fear, desire, anger, and pride are
all negative energy fields that have adverse or destruc
tive effects and therefore have a low calibration num
ber. For instance, Apathy at 50 has much less energy
than Fear, which calibrates at 100. Fear at 100 has much
less energy than that of Courage, which calibrates at
200. Desire at 125 has less energy than the state called
Neutral (at 250), or being detached. Calibration ofthe energy fields can be replicated by
using very common techniques, such as simple muscle
testing, that verify the relative energies and directions
of the fields. These fields calibrate lower when one
holds in mind a thought that is angry, a thought about
something one regrets or is sad about, or a thought
about something one fears. When the arm of the per
son having such a thought is tested, it will instantly
become weak. The cerebral hemispheres become
desynchronized, the acupuncture energy system goes
out of alignment, and the person instantly loses power
and energy. 80 HEALING AND RECOVERY
At the level of Courage, where truth is told, the
energy field moves upwards to that which is positive
and supports and reinforces life. It is the energy of
aliveness and is aligned with integrity and honesty. When we calibrate the great teachers of wisdom
who have walked this earth, we find that they are at
the level of 600 and above.The great avatars, the great
saviors of mankind, and the great mystics and saints
are in the energy fields of the 700s on up to 1,000. It
could be said that truth begins at energy field 200 and
expands upward into an ever-increasing lovingness
and alignment withTruth. Interestingly, health follows
the same pattern. The farther up we go in our energy fields, the
healthier our bodies automatically become until, final
ly, there is joy in the aliveness and exquisite pleasure
of the body. At level 540, the energy field of
Unconditional Love and healing, the body begins to
heal its own diseases, depending on inherent propen
sities as well as limitations (e.g., karma, both individ
ual and human). In relation to stress, it is essential to look at the pre
existing conditions within a person's consciousness
that set them up to experience life in a stressful way. It
is obvious that a person who has identified with the
attitudes of a lower energy field experiences a world
that is perceived as negative. A person who identifies
with the lower energy field of hopelessness and
despair is going to experience the world as hopeless,
and all of life's experiences are going to be colored by
that expectation. At the level of Grief, people are full of regret, con81 STRESS
cerned with loss in the past, and see this as a sad world. If there were a God, he would be a God who doesn't
love us, doesn't care for us, and ignores us. In the energy field of Fear, there is the appearance
of a suppressed energy that has been held throughout
life as fearfulness. There is preoccupation with anxi
ety and constant worry about the future. The world
looks like a frightening place, and a person at that
level experiences everything in the form of fright.The
God of such a world would be considered to be fear
some (punitive). The person who is always desirous and wanting
experiences this as a frustrating world. The angry
person is prone to conflict and war. The prideful
person is vulnerable to perceived challenges and there
fore assumes a defensive posture. We will discuss the
Map of Consciousness in greater detail to learn how
we are automatically set up for stress. One begins to suspect from the statement "One
man's meat is another man's poison" that the set-up
for stress comes from one's own inner values, belief
systems, and positions about life.These stem from the
programs that are being held operative within one's
consciousness. One starts to look for the source of
stress not in the world, but in what is being held in con
sciousness that assigns stress to the experience of a
given event. Following are some examples, available to
all of us, that show how some attitudes and ways of
being with life set us up for the experience of stress. There was an elderly lady, for instance, who used to
visit her married daughter who lived in the middle of
one hundred acres of woods out in the country, thirty 82 HEALING AND RECOVERY
miles from New York City. There was only stillness; in
fact, the only sounds that one could hear were the
rustling of the leaves and the songs of the birds. The older woman had lived all of her life in New
York City, on the lower East Side. She hated to make the
visit to the country, and when she did, stayed as briefly
as possible. Two or three days were all that she could
stand. The peace and silence would drive her 'crazy',
and she could not wait to return to the city where she
would sigh with relief. Her apartment faced the street,
and from her open window, she could talk to anybody,
hear the hustle and bustle ofthe city, and feel secure
all in the midst of the lower East side (her'mother
land'), despite all the noise and muggings. She was in a
situation that another person might consider stressful. A lot ofpeople might consider that part ofthe city
scary indeed. What she experienced as security
being there in the throngs of people, with the sounds
of garbage cans and garbage trucks making a racket at
5 AM, was reassuring to her. In contrast, peace and
silence in the middle of one hundred acres of woods
were stressful. We can look at a comparable example of Devil's
Island, the French penal colony. The French govern
ment, out of social protest, closed much of the prison
and allowed the prisoners to run loose on the island. They released them from the animal and torture cages
and allowed them the freedom ofthe island and to walk
around at will.What did the prisoners do? Much to the
surprise of the authorities, they went back to their
cages to sleep at night.They felt frightened, lonely, and
insecure even though, for the fIrst time in all the years, 83 STRESS
they had the freedom they so vociferously had demanded
and died for during that time. The sense of security
came from the feeling of being back in the cages. To most people, a jail cell would be the maximum
threat. No greater horror could be imagined. Yet, what
have other people done in a prison cell? They have
written prize-winning novels and staggering pieces of
literature. Things written in jail cells and prisons have
changed the course of the history of mankind, for bet
ter or worse.Adolf Hitler wrote Mein Kampfwhile in
prison. Another interesting example, in contrast to Devil's
Island, is exemplified by the famous movie, Lost
Horizon. If you remember, in that movie Ronald
Coleman and the other passengers of a plane made an
emergency landing in the Himalayas. They went
through a pass and came upon Shangri-La, which rep
resents an almost heavenly condition. Its energy field
(540-600) is very high and is a place of unconditional
love and unending peace. Although the character


 we alone have the
choice and the power.We are the ones who set up the
meaning and give these things the power over us;
therefore, it really is possible to come out of disap
pointment, grief, sadness, and anger about the event, to
even become indifferent and willing to look into it and
re-experience the inner self. Actually, a depressive episode, even a brief one, has
the potential for joy within it because it is something
comingupinlife,saying,"Look atme! Look atme! Here
is a mistake that has been causing you pain and suffer
ing for endless amounts of time and will continue to
cause you pain and suffering for endless amounts of
time. "That inner state of joy and serenity really comes
about from a knowingness of our own invulnerability. Therefore, even though the depression is not current
ly present clinically, the knowledge that we are vul
nerable precludes that incredible state called the
peace of God, the knowing that we are not separate
from the source of anything but are connected with
it, and that we are with God. 381 DEPRESSION
How does one then experience that which, in body
mind, and spirit, is called spirit-that subtle knowing
ness? It can come from one of life's tragedies, or even
from a minor disappointment. All these things have
within them the seed of truth that is always present. That which is the spirit and reveals itself as the truth
behind consciousness is always present and can there
fore be discovered at any moment-in moments of
high joy or depression. In Zen, it is said that heaven and
hell are only a tenth of an inch apart. Personally, I have shared what I have experienced,
and I have witnessed the truth of what I am talking
about. My own inner experience included a time of
great, severe, agonizing depression way down in the
pits of Hell. In that state of absolute hopelessness in
which time stopped, the experience went on for liter
ally eons and eons. (In severe depression, the experi
ence of time is altered and each second seems like an
eternity.) In those eons, there was no hope. In fact,
there was a sign that said, "All ye who enter here give
up all hope." It was like the deepest of the hells in
Dante's Inferno. Out of the experience of that infinite suffering
and agony, out of that total feeling of abandonment
and being separated from love and God, there suddenly
came an inner voice that said, "If there is a God, I ask
Him for help." From the pits of agony, by a profound,
deep surrender, suddenly there was the awareness of
an Infinite Presence of Eternal Love and the silent
Knowingness of Truth. With the collapse of the
ego/self, the mind became silent and disappeared into
the Self. The event heralded a, major transformation 382 HEALING AND RECOVERY
that has been described in other writings. Self-healing is the willingness to love and forgive
ourselves, to look at our vulnerability and call it our
humann~ss. It is the capacity to love our humanness for
its weaknesses, errors, and foibles in order to see that
within this humanness, as mistaken as it might be,
there is a primordial, intrinsic innocence. The only thing that is certain in the phenomenal
aspect of this world and its expression is that all
things change.All things change within human expe
rience because human experience is that ofchange. If
all things change and nothing remains the same, then
to place the source of our happiness outside ourself
on that which changes means it is only a matter of
time before the depression ensues. If we place our
security on that which is transitory, disappearing,
coming and going, or changing, then the vulnerability
is ever present. That simple mistake,which we all make, is common
to the whole human condition and arises out of some
thing that is also the same in aU of us and which can be
rediscovered right in the pain of experience-the
intrinsic innocence of consciousness itself, the intrin
sic innocence of our own inner self.We can see this in
two different ways. First, by reaching that state of com
passion ourselves, we attain such a level of conscious
ness that we literally see into the hearts of others; we
just see and know that innocence. The second way is
through introspection to see how this arose. We notice the primordial innocence of the child
who is innately trusting. The child has faith in the
integrity of adults, and it never dawns in the child's 383 DEPRESSION
mind to doubt the truth of what is being told. The
young child loves its parents and those extensions of
parents called teachers, other family members, peers,
playmates, television, and commercials. A child looks
at a commercial as though it were just as truthful as
its parents because of the child's trustingness, open
ness, lovingness, and lack of paranoia. The innocent,
trusting mind is easily programmed, and therefore, out
of its innocence, it begins to buy what it hears. The
child identifies with those whom it loves as family.As
the programs start coming in, the purity of the child
becomes programmed because of its intrinsic inno
cence. Due to that innocence, it buys such statements
as, "All of us are allergic," "Heart disease runs in our
family," or,"We all have a weight problem in our family." All the negative programs are bought by the
child's innocence. We might say that the child's mind
is like the hardware of a computer, which will play
any software program that is installed on it. And yet,
the nature of the hardware, that which is truly the
computer itself, is unchanged. No matter what CD we
play, no matter what software programs we play on
the computer, the intrinsic innocence, purity, and
integrity of the hardware has not been sullied. It has
not changed at all. Even if all the programs are erro
neous, the hardware remains the same. Within the adult remains that same childlike con
sciousness, with its innocence, purity of motive, and
capacity to remain pure no matter what the programs
may be. It remains essential and unchanged in all of
us. It is exactly what is reading these words right now. It is the childlike consciousness, with all its purity and 384 HEALING AND RECOVERY
innocence, that is reading this teaching right now
not the person or personality, but that consciousness
in all its simple purity. Even if the person who is reading says, "I don't
believe a word of it," where does that statement come
from? It comes from another belief system that the
child bought out ofinnocence. The father says,"Don't
trust anybody," or some disappointing experience sets
up the program within the child's mind. "Don't trust
anything you hear." So if we are saying to ourself, "I
don't believe anything he says," we are saying that
because, out of the childlike innocence, we bought
that program. "The way to be secure in this world is
to be mistrusting, skeptical, and not believe anything
you hear or you will be misled down the primrose
path." However, the nature of the innocence that
bought that program remains the same because it is
trying to listen to the truth and discern that which is
truth out ofits hopefulness and trustingness. It is hop
ing to hear that which will be helpful, nurture life, and
relieve suffering. The cynic has been programmed to
be mistrustful. When we look within ourself now with the inten
tion of self-healing, we see that intrinsic innocence
and understand what program was set up. Now we
have to re-own that innocence which is so crucial in
all spiritual work as well in personal psychological
research and introspection. It is important to always
keep within our awareness that whatever we bought
was out of the beauty of that which we are. We
bought it out of our own love, trustingness, and
integrity because we projected our own integrity 385 DEPRESSION
onto the world and thought it was a place we could
trust in and believe anything we heard or read. We were programmed to believe that sometimes it
is very useful to lie, to tell someone that "The check is
in the mail. "We were programmed with the idea that
the only way to survive as a body in this world is to
tailor the truth a little bit (called 'creative business
ethics'), but did we not buy that out of our.own inno
cence? We thought that was what one had to do in
this world to survive, so we guessed we had to do
that. Of course, when we do that, we pay the price. Anytime we go below the line at 200, we pay the
price, which is the loss of our power within the
world. That is what the anger is all about-"I lost my
power. The source of my happiness will never be
returned to me because it is outside of myself. I have
projected it out there." The healing of it comes from
the willingness to look at the truth of it, to say to one
self,"Out of my innocence, like other


 was dying of lung cancer that had spread through both his lungs. Could E.T. come and help
him? E.T. traveled to G.D.’s home and set up the Gerson Therapy for him. Amazingly, both these terminal patients recovered! Fifteen years later, in 1981, both were
alive and well. E.T. was 84 years old. Dr. G.D. was a good deal younger and lived for many more
years. Eventually we heard from his son that he had passed away. Astrocytoma
N.K. In 1987, just weeks before her tenth birthday, this young girl, living in North Liberty,
Indiana, began to suffer from headaches followed by vomiting. A CAT scan showed a brain
tumor, and the patient was taken to Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis, for brain surgery. The surgeon removed what he could, but found that some of the tumor was too close to a major
blood vessel and could only be cauterized. Subsequently N.K. had annual checkups. When she turned 13, an MRI (Magnetic Resonance
Imaging) showed a recurrence. The doctor said that at this early stage he could not operate, but
N.K.’s mother felt unable to just sit by and wait for her daughter’s brain tumor to grow. She found
out about the Gerson treatment and in 1990 the patient and her mother came to the Mexican
hospital. Due to the demanding routine of the Gerson Therapy with the need for hourly juices,
N.K. could not go to school, so her mother home schooled her. Also, doing her enemas, the patient
did a great deal of reading. First she read the classics, then she studied mathematics, and finally Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.comphilosophy. By the time she took her SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test), she was not only free from
her tumor, but also scored extremely high on her test. When her surgeon examined her new X-rays, he could not understand how it was possible for
N.K. to have no more malignancy, since he knew that he had left some tumor tissue in place at the
time of her operation. Her fine motor skills were also perfectly restored, so much so that she was
even able to play the violin. Last report: N.K. continues fit and well; at 26 she is married and has a family. She graduated
from college “Magna cum Laude.”
Nicotine Addiction
A.C.  started to smoke cigarettes aged 17. She looked barely fifteen and hoped that smoking
would make her look more grown-up. At first she hated the smell and taste of cigarettes, but
quickly got hooked on them, and was still smoking 35 years later, when she went down with
malignant melanoma. When she discovered the Gerson Therapy and decided to go to the Mexican Gerson Hospital,
her main worry was the need to manage without smoking once she got there. It had been made
clear to her that if she tried to smoke just one cigarette, she would be sent home at once. Having
tried, and failed, to stop smoking more times than she cared to remember, A.C. felt very anxious
indeed. As soon as she arrived at the hospital, she found herself embroiled in the full intensive
program—one juice after another, enema training, meals, instructions, meeting other patients took
up every waking minute. What with all this activity, it took A.C. almost two whole days to realize
that she had neither smoked nor missed her lifetime habit. The real shock came a few hours later,
when in the garden of the hospital she met a visitor who was smoking. To her amazement A.C.
found the smoke highly offensive and quickly walked past the smoker. She suffered no serious
withdrawal symptoms, but it took several weeks for the extremely unpleasant accumulated
residue of her smoking years to evaporate through her skin and hair. She never looked back,
and—incidentally—also recovered from her melanoma. Esophageal Cancer
It is important to remember that beside the most common malignancies, namely cancer of the
breast, prostate and colon, which respond so well to the Gerson Therapy, the same treatment is
just as effective in healing rare cancers. To illustrate this, we present the case history of K.G. Born in 1953, this man was a taxidermist living in Arizona. He was health-conscious and
adopted a careful lifestyle: he didn’t smoke or use drugs and only occasionally drank a glass of Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

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


 herbs have been clinically tested for many years. The results of these
herbs in supporting tissue regeneration have been miraculous. We humans
have a lot to learn when it comes to the power of botanicals to rebuild the
body. Herbal formulas, consisting of combinations of herbs, can have a muchstronger effect upon the body than single herbs. There are many things to
consider when combining herbs, such as compatibility, synergistic actions
and effects to related tissues. In
Module 8.3
 I will suggest an ideal herbal
tincture or blend for each of ten major conditions, including adrenal gland
enhancement, parasite cleansing, and kidney and bladder functioning. In
Module 8.4
 you will find the body systems listed once again
(Cardiovascular, Digestive, etc. ), with suggestions for herbal detoxifiers and
strengtheners for each system. Finally, we will close with an important
consideration of pharmaceutical antibiotics vs. nature’s anti-parasitics in
Module 8.5
. Have fun with herbs and herbal formulas, for their power and strength is
much needed in today’s world. With the use of herbs to clean and rebuild the
body, vibrant health can be achieved by anyone who is willing to put his/her
heart into it. Do not be afraid of what God created for your use. Simply learn
which herbs are for what purpose. Herbs are easy to use. Don’t let those who
have no education in herbology tell you that herbs are bad. That’s like saying
God is bad. God created herbs for everything from bone growth and repair to
nerve regeneration. Herbs are God’s greatest healers, especially when used in
conjunction with a raw food diet. The June 1992 issue of the
Food and Drug Law Journal
 contained the
following: “The results of an extensive review on botanical safety conducted
by the Herbal Research Foundation (a non-profit organization of leading
experts on pharmacognosy, pharmacology and toxicology), confirmed there
is no substantial evidence that toxic reactions to botanicals are a major source
of concern. The review was based on reports from the American Association
of Poison Control Centers and the Center of Disease Control.” (McCaleb,
R.S.) MODULE 8.1
Common and Traditional Uses of Botanicals

Each country has its own fantastic herbs. I always recommend using the
herbs that grow in the country that you live in. These tend to have a more
powerful effect upon your body, because your body adapts to and becomesharmonious with its predominant environment. There are thousands of herbs in use worldwide. I recommend studying as
much as you can about 50 to 100 of the best and strongest herbs known and
used in your country. These herbs will take good care of you, and you won’t
become confused or overwhelmed trying to learn about all the herbs there are
to choose from. Exceptions exist for every rule, however. Even though you
may live in the U.S., don’t neglect some of the remarkable herbs from China,
Brazil and India, for instance, like Ginseng, Ginkgo Biloba, Ginger, Pau
d’Arco, and certain medicinal mushrooms. When I use herbs from other
countries, I only use the best and strongest that each country has to offer. Herbs should be organically grown or “wild-crafted.” Unfortunately, the
demand for herbs has become so great that wildcrafting has depleted many of
the wild herbs. Organic herb farms are needed, similar to organic fruit and
vegetable farms. Such farms are the only hope we have of regenerating and
saving our species. Herbs may be consumed as teas, capsules or tinctures. I prefer the teas
and tinctures. This is especially true where poor digestion and malabsorption
exist. MAKING TEA

Teas are simple to make. For each cup of single-herb tea desired, place one
heaping teaspoon of the herb and one cup of distilled or reverse osmosis
(R/O) water into a glassware pot or saucepan. I recommend using glass
instead of any metals, including stainless steel. Even stainless steel releases
copper into your teas or foods. When using several herbs, use one cup of
water for each different herb and one heaping teaspoon of each herb. If the herb consists of leaves and flowers, boil them in the water for
approximately 3–6 minutes, and let them steep for another 5–10 minutes. If
the herbs are roots, tubers or rhizomes, boil them for 10–15 minutes and let
them steep for 10–15 minutes. If your tea is too strong, add more water to
your mixture. Drink 1 cupful, 3–6 times a day, or use as a douche, enema or
poultice depending upon the desired results. TINCTURES
Herbal tinctures are made by distilling herbs in alcohol, vinegar or glycerin. The strongest, most potent method of making tinctures is accomplished by
using 1 part herb to 3–4 parts pure grain alcohol, mixed with equal parts of
distilled water. Place the mixture in a glass container and let set in a darkened
area for 30 days or so. Start on the new moon and finish on a full moon. Shake this tincture every day. On the last day put your mixture in the sun for
at least 4 hours of sunlight. If there is no sunshine on one day, wait until there
is, or leave this step out. Now you’re ready to bottle your tincture. Use some
sort of a press to squeeze this distilled mixture into pure liquid. Take one full
dropperful 3–6 times a day. There are so many ways to use herbs for your benefit, but it is not the
purpose of this book to cover them all. Those who are interested can consult
my other book,
Power Botanicals and Formulas
 (available from God’s
Herbs,
www.godherbs.com
), which is a more comprehensive guide to the
chemistry and use of botanicals. There are also a multitude of books on the
market that are excellent to further your information on herbs and their uses. Some of these are referenced for you in the Bibliography. Unfortunately, there are also many books on herbs that are not worth the
paper they’re printed on. These books are written by so-called herbalists or
individuals who know little about the true use of each of these herbs. They
merely contain information that is referenced from other sources. Some of
them copy what the FDA says about herbs, along with the misleading
information being fed to the public from pharmaceutical companies to instill
fear in people about the use of God’s natural foods and medicines. Never fear
nature or its products. Simply learn what others have been using and doing
for hundreds of thousands of years. Always fight to keep your right to eat and use God’s foods. Estimates are
that over 2 million deaths (some estimates as high as 5 million) occur each
year needlessly as a result of procedures and products supported by the
allopathic medical and pharmaceutical industries. Rarely do we hear of a
death from the use of herbs. When one occurs, it’s almost always from
misuse. Read … Study … Experiment … Lose the fear … Become alive
again. MODULE 8.2Power Herbs: A Reference Guide

The following herbs are some of the best herbs you can find in the Northern
Hemisphere. As you study this section be sure to check the Glossary for
definitions of unfamiliar terms. Alfalfa

Internally, aloe heals ulcerations and inflammation of the GI tract. Aloe and Burdock are the “burn botanicals.” First, second, third and
fourth degree burns
all respond to aloe’s tissue-healing and rebuilding

 bunch andcommercially mass fed and heavily drugged withantibiotics and hormones. Be selective and cautious inyour eating; seek only the healthiest food choices. It’s best people should not eat pork or pork products. The pig is the only animal besides man that developsarteriosclerosis. This animal is so loaded with cholesterolthat in cold weather, unprotected pigs will become stiff,as though frozen solid. Pigs are often infected with adangerous parasite which causes the disease trichinosis. Patricia and I enjoy being healthy vegetarians and
not polluting our bodies with unhealthy meat, fowl andfish proteins. It’s safer and healthier getting our proteinsfrom organic vegetables, beans, legumes, nuts, etc. Please

One of the greatest teachers and physicians in the
science of body purification and nutrition was Dr. JohnTilden,
M. D.,  of Denver. This great scientist will surely
go down in history as one of the finest physicians. Hisprogram included fasting and an abundance of freshfruits and vegetables. He lived into his
90s and was active
to the end of his life keeping his patients healthy. Another of the finest doctors who specialized in
nutrition was the famed Dr. John Harvey Kellogg,  M.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>

blood levels of nicotine and carbon monoxide fall; heart and lungsbegin healing. Smokers must stop this vicious and deadly de stroyer
of life, health, energy and beauty. Let’s ban smoking  worldwide.✞Tobacco use and secondhand smoke will eventually
kill just over  5 of all people now living in the developed
world – over 250 million ( also marijuana smoke is deadly ). ✞Of the  50 million smoking Americans,  3 to 2 will die
from smoke-related disease, and reduce their life
expectancy by  an average of  9 years. ✞Cancers, as well as cataracts, are linked to smoking. ✞Children and teenagers make up  90% of new smokers
in the U. S. – and teenage smoking is on the rise. ✞Smoking acts as both a stimulant and a depressant -
depending upon the smoker’s emotional state. ✞The average pack-a-day smoker takes about  70,000
poisonous hits  of nicotine each year. ✞“Secondhand smoke” can kill nonsmokers: it speeds
up heart rate, raises blood pressure and doubles the
carbon monoxide in their blood. ✞Secondary smoke contains more nicotine, tar andcadmium (leading to hypertension, bronchitis and
emphysema) than mainstream smoke. ✞The children of smokers tend to have lower bodyweight, smaller lungs and more health problems. ✞Lung illnesses such as asthma are tw ice as common in
the children of sm okers. Shame on their parents. ✞The death rate from breast cancer ranges from  25% to
75% higher for women who smoke. ✞Female smokers may face a higher risk of lung cancer  –
as much as twice the risk of male smokers, according
to a study done by Dr. Harvey Risch at Yale University. ✞Your body contains almost  100,000  miles of blood
vessels. Smoking constricts those vessels, depriving
your body of fresh, rich oxygen it needs for life.DEADLY SMOKING FACTS!113Fasting Melts Away Pounds! It’s estimated that  75% of men, women and children
in America are overweight. These overweight people arein serious physical health trouble according to medicalauthorities and insurance companies. Excess weightpresents great hazards to health and long life! These sameauthorities tell us that the overweight person is moresusceptible to chronic and even fatal diseases than anormal weight person. An overweight person can’t beginto know the thrill of wellness. First, they are constantlytired because they are carrying far too many pounds.Let’s say a person is
 25 pounds overweight. Now, let a
normal weight person carry a  25 pound suitcase around
all day. In a short time every move would become painfuland fatiguing. You can plainly see millions of overweightpeople are grossly overburdening their bodies and lives! The obese person typically has no energy or ambition
to indulge in physical activities. Most of them wouldrather find the closest chair and sit in it until they areforced to do some important duty. The overweightperson has trouble breathing because their excess fleshmakes it difficult for their lungs to do their jobs properly. We find most obese get out of breath with least exertion. The overweight person’s body has over
 700 miles
(unbelievable, but true) of fine tubes – blood vessels – totry and nourish and sustain all the excess fat! You canplainly see why the overweight person is putting atremendous burden on the lungs and the normalfunction of their heart. Their pulse and blood pressurerise to dangerous heights, which could in themselves
cause serious damage, heart attacks, strokes and death. Every man is the builder of a temple called his body... We are
all sculptors and painters, and our material is our own flesh and bloodand bones. Any nobleness begins at once to refine a man’sfeatures, any meanness to imbrute them. – Henry David Thoreau
Studies show the bigger the waistline – the shorter the lifespan.Chapter 1 4114Excess Fat is a Burden and Health Risk! Insurance figures accurately show that overweight
people are short-lived and are more susceptible to many
chronic diseases because of their unnatural overweight
condition. Any way you look at it, excess weight isdangerous! Today, obesity is steadily on the increase
worldwide. First, in America we have an abundance of food
and fast food restaurants. The average person puts waytoo much food into their stomach for the sheer joy of
eating. Eating is America’s most popular indoor and
outdoor sport! At family gatherings and parties the
tendency is to serve too much food and everyone overeats. Coffee breaks encourage people to snack between
meals. TV invites people to snack as they gaze at theidiot box that promotes crime and evilness. Plus people
are constantly eating sweets, ice cream, shakes, hot dogs,
hamburgers, french fries, pizza and many other varietiesof food even between meals. Then there are the buffets,
banquets, benefit dinners, etc. that promote overeating. We live in a mechanical age. We load heavy amounts of
food into our bodies and never burn it up with exercise andphysical activities. The automobile has replaced walking. We are a nation of sitters. Our children sit for hours in school
and then in fr ont of TV, computers and the web. Also a dults
spend hours at computers, TVs, plus they also attend
movies, concerts and athletic events. This unhealthy,
sedentary lifestyle contributes to being overweight. Fad Diets Create “Yo Yo” Up & Down Weight
Overweight people are constantly going on crash diets
and most get only brief results. There is the high-proteindiet, the low-carbohydrate diet, the liquid diet, the cottage
cheese diet, etc., etc. and so many other varieties. Magazines
and newspapers are always pushing some new crash diet
to take weight off the obese person. There are so manyreducing diets that it’s frustrating and confusing for peopleto know which one to follow. In my opinion, the fast is
It’s lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges. – Mohammad Ali, who ordered 100 Fasting Books  at a time to give to friends. Fasting and the Bragg Vinegar Drink (page 230) helps normalize weight.115the only natural and scientific way to achieve reasonable
weight reduction. This is why I believe fasting is the perfect
way to reduce. After the first 2 or 3 days of fasting you areno longer hungry. From the 3rd day on there is no cravingfor food. When people go on crash low calorie diets, theyare hungry most of the time and long for heavy meals. Butafter you fast for 2 or 3 days, all hunger fades away, thestomach shrinks and it actually becomes a pleasantexperience. You start to breathe easier, feel lighter, move
easier, think clearer and miracles start happening. F

simply,  "Something  unknown  is doing  we don't
know  what." THE  WISDOM  OF INSECURITY
In such a confession thought has moved full
circle,  and we are again as children. To those
still fever - ishly intent upon explaining ali
things, upon secur - ing the water of life firmly in
paper and string, this  confession says nothing
and means nothing but de - feat. To others, che
fact that thought has completed  a circle is a
revelation of what man has been doing,  noc only
in philosophy, religion, and speculative  science,
but also in psychology and morals, in every - day
feeling and living. His mind has bccn in a whirl  to
be away  írom  itself  and to catch  itsclf. Ye su[Jer  from  yourselves,  nonc  elsc
comfJels,  Nonc other holds you  that ye livc
and die  And  whir  upon  the wheel,  and
lwg and  kiss

lls tire o/ tears,  its nave  o/ nothing11ess. Discovcring this the mind becomes whole: the
split  between I and me, man and the world, the
ideal and  the real, comes to an cnd. Paranoia, the
mind beside  itself, becomes metanoia, thc mind
with itself and so  free from itself. Free from
clutching at themselves  the hands can handle;
free from looking after them - selves the eyes can
see; free from trying to undt:rstand  itself thought
can think. In such feeling, seeing, and  thinking
life requires no future to complete itsel f nor
explanation to justify itself. In this moment it is
finished. ALAN W. WATTS, who holds,both a mastcr·s dcgree

 humans,
now known to be spread by the eating of brains by some cannibalistic tribes in New Guinea, is caused by a'slow virus'. It has
been suggested that as mental diseases are' seasonal (especially
schizophrenia), and as they are much more frequent in the prosperous communities, with a high standard of living, there could be a nutritional factor as well as a genetic one in mental disease
(See New Scientist, Monitor, 12 July 1973). V. Branfenbrenner's, Origins of Alienation (Scientific
American, p. 53, August 1974) is a good account of the break
between the young and the old, with its attendant social disturbances, due to disturbances in family life. The following are still worth reading, W. M.S. Russell, The Wild Ones (Listener, 5
Nov 1964) and his The Affluent Crowd (Listener, 12 November
1964). A. Koestler, The Ghost in the machine (London 1967), a
fascinating discourse on man's mental predicament, although his inferences are faulty. For a reappraisal of the meaning of mind in its highest aspects, see Altered States of Consciousness, edited by C. T.
Dart (London 1958). The benefits of food restriction in mental
diseases are recorded by Y. Nikolay ev in Soviet Weekly, reported
by New Scientist, 414, 22 October 1964. Fifteen years of starving psychiatric patients for upwards of a week resulted in dramatic improvement, even in schizophrenics. After a period of total abstinence, fruit juice, grated carrots, sour milk, nuts, vegetables,
bread and honey are given. Animal foods are ruled out. A
confirmatory letter regarding results in a clinic in the UK is in New
Scientist, 24 December 1964. The Nobel prizewinning biochemist, L. Pauling, is largely
responsible for the flare-up of interest in vitamin C, in his much advertised claim that his family were kept free of colds by large
doses of vitamin C. But Pauling has failed to sense, or admit, the
wider implications of his claim, namely, that the fact that such large doses are without any toxic effects, must mean that man is perfectly adapted to them, which in turn can only mean that he is essentially a
fruit-eater. But Pauling's orthodoxy has not prevented him from being
repeatedly attacked for claims regarding vitamin C usually considered as sensational. As with amply proved phenomena like telepathy, scientists, lacking an adequate world-view, find themselves emotionally compelled to deny. But man is not unique in such large vitamin C needs. The guinea-pig, a frantic gobbler of
fresh green tasties, requires as much as man on a body weight
basis—a child, for instance, would need 1500 milligrams daily, instead of the 200 officially recommended. (Man Li Yew. National Academy of Science, USA, Vol. 7, p. 964, 1974.) The ever increasing wonders of vitamin C now includes claims
for counteracting the cancer-inducing nitrosamides, for reducing
heart attacks, for alleviating diabetes, and, latest of all, for mitigating hang-overs! See New Sc ientist, 12 April 1973, and 18
April 1974. Coffee drinking doubles the risk of myocardial infarctus ('heart
attacks'). No affect appeared to be associated with tea drinking (up
to six cups a day). Lancet, Vol. 2, p. 1278, 1972. That does not
mean that tea drinking is health y—only that it is less harmful! The food crisis is focussed in the Commentary in New Scientist
(18 July 1974), 'Will Britain starve?' with the following conclusion: 'Perhaps the most important of all, the public must get used to the
idea that it can get by with a great deal less food than it usually
consumes, and that edible protein is  too valuable to feed to farm
livestock.' For the disasters of pollution, of dwindling natural resources, of
overcrowding, see G. Rattray Taylor's, The Doomsday Book
(London 1970). Rats, made to fast for one to three days a week, live longer,
with a lower incidence of all cau ses of death, including cancer. Dr
Alec Comfort concludes that by eating less, humans should be able to increase their present lifespan by 20 per cent to 40 per cent (New
Scientist, 30 March 1972). Given a wide choice and abundan ce of foods, rats, with much
more native instinct than man, nonetheless fail to pick the right
foods. On the contrary, they have a singular ability, owing to an equivalent of human greed, to pick the pattern of eating most likely to induce cancers and the other di seases of age (Nature, Vol. 250,
July 1974). A recently discovered long-living community in Ecuador,
where people live frequently over the century—the record is 130 years—on a diet essentially vegetarian and with abundant fruits, is reported in New Scientist, by D. David Davies (A Shangri-la in
Ecuador 1 February 1973). A study of a classical example, that of
the Hunzas, is in Dr D. Wrench's, The Wheel of Health (London
1938). For the basal needs of salt and other constituents, as well as the
feats of attempted human adaptation to different environments, see P. T. Baker, J. S. Weiner, Editors of The Biology of human
adaptability (Oxford 1966), also G. A. Harrison, J. S. Weiner, J. M.
Tanner. N. A. Bannicot's Human biology (Oxford 1964). A well-known researcher on the brain, Sir J. C. Eccles, in his
book, Facing Reality (London 1970) does not find that anything
discovered by science or likely to be discovered can rule out the ancient human hoping that the mind transcends the limitations of
time and space. For those who assume that science and materialism
have once and for all dismissed th e belief in immortality, such
corrections should come as a ray of light in a dark material age. There are many books of vegetarian recipes which can be
consulted, picking out those whic h need the less manipulation and
fussy cooking. In spite of perhaps overmuch cooking, W. and J.
Fliess, Modern Vegetarian Cookery (London 1964), is well worth
consulting for ideas. Also a happy little book by R. Mabey, Food
for Free (London 1972). For a wide-ranging concern for the
survival menage of vegetarianism, see Jon Wynne-Tyson's Food for
a Future (London 1975).<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

“Dr. Graham is wise, insightful, and a leading-edge thinker. Read, savor, and use his brilliance, and I hope it serves you as well
as it has me.”
—Mark Victor Hansen, coauthor of the
Chicken Soup for the Soul series of books

“For people who want to create balance in their lives and reach a nd sustain the level of health they deserve, I highly
recommend this book.”
—Kimberly Mac, The “Naked” Vegan,
radio talk show host and live-food chef

“Dr. Graham’s 80/10/10 diet has literally saved my life! By putting hi s advice into practice, I have recovered from serious
illness and attained a level of health I never dreamed possible. If you des ire the tools


 saying that his aura had a catalytic, healing ef fect on
them. He always insisted that what others witnessed in him was really their
own true  Self mirrored back to t hem. He said often, “The Self of the teacher
and that of the student is one and the same.” People of all ages, all walks oflife, came from every continent. Th e essence, one’ s true Self, wa s fully
welcomed. As one person desc ribed it, “After a lifetime of searching, my
soul fina lly felt at home.” In m y experience: it was finally in his presence
that the “ugly duckling” was recognized as a “swan” (referring to the well-
known c hildren’ s story). And this mirroring of soul makes all the dif ference
in a person’ s life—to realize the truth of what we are. He said that what he teaches is not dif ferent from the core prin ciples of
the world’ s religions—unconditional love, compassion, humility, and
kindness for all beings: “Make a gift of your life and lift all mankind by
being kind, considerate, for giving, and compassionate at all times, in all
places, and under all conditions, with everyone as well as yourself. That is
the greatest gift anyone can give.”26
In 1995, the Hawkinses’ pu blishing company, V eritas Publishing
(Sedona, Arizona), printed the first copies of Power vs. For ce: The Hidden
Determinants o f Human Behavior, the groundbreaking book that first
introduced the Map of Consciousness to the world. The impact has been
profound. Even tually also published through Hay House, it has reached
over a million people in more than 25 languages. I count my self as one
among the many individuals wh ose lives were completely transformed by
that book and finding the Map. His bod y of work now includes 16 books and more than 100  recorded
lectures, as well as countless articles and interviews. All of this emer ged in
the last part of his life, when most people are enjoying retirement and
“taking it easy.” From ages 68 to 84, he traveled extensively and worked
nonstop until the very end. In the last year of his life, I worked with him to
complete his Author ’ s Of ficial Revised Editi on of Power vs. For ce  (2012,
repub. 2 013) and  Letting Go  ( 20 12). On som e days when I went over to the
house to work with him, he was tired or not feeling well, but a couple of
shots of  espress o and a funny joke to get us laughing and we were on our
way, w orking nonstop for hours. I saw up close his inexhaustible
commitment to fulfilling his destiny and helping his fellows. As a university professor, I ass ign his books to students. An interesting
fact is that students observe something about his books that they don’ t about
any others: “He expresses exac tly what I knew to be true, only I didn’ t
know how to say it.” Dr. Hawkins, in his Preface to Power vs. For ce,
af firms that he i s merely saying what we already know deep in side: “This
book will have been successful  if by the end of it you exclaim, ‘I alwaysknew th at!’ What is contained h erein is only a reflection of that which you
already know, but do not know that you know. All that I have hoped to do
here is to connect the dots to let the hidden picture emer ge.”
He n ever claimed to have discovered a secret code or to have unearthed
some special gnostic mystery “from the nose hairs of a camel” (as he liked
to joke). As you’ll read in Chapter 8, he simply reminded us of the
“universality” o f T ruth, that it “is true at all times and places, independent
of cu lture, personalities, or circumstances,” and he gave us a Map to find it. Beyond the light it sheds on ordinary human pursuits of health, art,
livelihood, relationships, and p olitics, the Map provides one of the first
modern demarcations of the highest levels of human consciousness (Self-
realization, the V oid, Nothingness versus Allness, Full Enlightenment) and
their dif ferential  phenomena. The autobiographical essay at the end  of this
book substantiates the advanced  consciousness of its author. Dr. Hawkins
describes the gradations of Enlightenment with a level of clarity that
indicates the experiential realiza tion of them. W e cannot, after all, draw a
map to a place we haven’ t been. Swami Chidatmananda, highly respected V edanta teacher of India, told
me t hat Dr. Hawkins’ s books co ntain essentially the same perennial truth as
the ancient Upanishads (V eda nta), only written in our modern idiom:
“There i s no dif ference between what he has experienced and discussed,
and what was said by the greatest sages and saints of India.”27
ABOUT THIS BOOK
Before Dr. Hawkins passed away in 2012, I asked him and Susan to
muscle-test a list of future proje cts, whether to be done or not. On that list
was a “primer” of his work, and the answer was yes. The book you hold in
your hands is a fulfillment of that intention. This is a unique  book within his  body of work because it gives readers a
taste of his teach ings across a spectrum of topics: an explication of the Map
of Consciousness, our connection with animals, the evolution of
consciousness, personal growth, enlightened leadership, physical healing,
successful business, addiction recovery, transcending ego ba rriers, high
spiritual states, to name a few.Unlike his other books, it exposes the reader to his various styles of
communication: formal published works, conversational, and live lecture. The con tent is drawn from all h is books, some lectures, and som e informal
conversations. Editing was done to facilitate reader comprehension and
condensation of the material into a primer volume. The book is a solid
introduction of Hawkins’ s body  of work to new readers and an edifying
recapitulation fo r long-time students. All the calibrations given in this book
were do ne by Dr. Hawkins and Susan Hawkins before his passing in 2012. Calibration  is the term tha t Dr. Hawkins u sed to designate his use of the
kinesiologic method to verify the level of consciousness (that is, ener gy
field) of something on his Map of Consciousness. The chapters in the book are meant to complement the compilation of Dr. Hawkins’ s lectures also titled The Map of Consciousness Explained  (Hay
House 2019), with charts included here so that listeners can see what he is
referring to on the audio program. Bibliographical referenc es are not
included. Instead, the sources for each chapter are in the Resources section
at the end of the book; the rea der who wishes to can follow up in those
books to find Dr. Hawkins’ s extensive bibliography references. Questions
for discu ssion in study groups and a Glossary of terms used can also be
found in the back. Each of the three sections dividing this book—“Foundations,” “Practical
Applications,” and “Advancing Consciousness”—is preceded by a brief
editorial comment, along with  a vignette from Dr. Hawkins’ s clinical
experience. The “Foundations” section lays out the implications of the Map
of Cons ciousness: How did the Map emer ge? What is the scientific
background? Wh at are levels of consciousness and ener gy fields? How does
one cali brate the  levels of consc iousness? How has consciousn ess evolved
over the millennia? These are some of the questions answered in the first
section. The “Practical Applications” section shows how the Map of
Consciousness applies to everyday life. Dr. Hawkins gives easy-to-
understand steps  to solving basic human problems, such as phy sical health,
success in life’ s endeavors, and overcoming addiction. Addiction, at its
core, is the seeking of happiness outside oneself. Though Chapter 6
explicitly addresses substance a ddiction, the principles can be applied to
any compulsion or addictive pattern. Addiction recovery is especially
relevant due to the shocking upsur ge in drug and alcohol deaths in currentsociety. Dr. Hawkins relates the  Map of Consciousness to the T welve Steps
in a  way that is useful for a ddiction and other contexts. Notably, Dr. Hawkins encour aged his spiritual students to follow the T welv e T raditions
of A A when m eeting together in study groups, as the gu idelines on
anonymity and service reduce t he tendency of spiritual groups to make a
special “teacher” out of someone. In the third se ction of the book, “Advancing Consciousn ess,” Dr. Hawkins lays out the character istics of true teachers and tea chings with
exceptional clarity. Until now, humankind has lacked a gold standard by
which to test th e trustworthiness of spiritual teachers. Count less earnest
seekers have fallen to their death or into suicidal despair at the hand of false
gurus or  messiah
