The nature of Disease
T
o understand how to get healthy it is first important to change your concepts
about disease. Most people fear disease because they do not understand its
causes. Medical doctors make diseases appear so complicated that the average
person thinks only a trained specialist can help him. This is not true. To
understand disease symptoms is simply to understand acidity and toxicity,
and how the body responds to these conditions. In understanding this, you
will see that disease is a natural process—the outcome of imbalanced
decisions and actions.
In looking at disease it is also important to understand the original state
of health (strength or weakness) that your cells received through genetics. In
my experience, the root causes of ninety-nine percent of all disease symptoms
are genetic weaknesses, toxicity and overacidity. This chapter will focus on
these three areas, and discuss how these result in such common diseases as
cancer, diabetes, male and female disorders, and such difficulties as weight
gain or loss.
In the concluding module, called Body Language, you will find a listing
of the many symptoms that point to a weakness or failure in one or more of
the body’s glands, organs or systems. You can learn to “read” the important
information that your body is always giving you.
MODULE 5.1
The Three Root Causes of Disease

FIRST ROOT: INHERENT (GENETIC) WEAKNESSES

Inherent weaknesses are cellular codes (cellular memories) that set the
condition of tissue and how it responds to life. Your physical body is a
genetic imprint of your family tree, and your cellular strengths andweaknesses come from your genetic history. This is true throughout your
body. Cells were originally created by God, but the memory of how well a
cell functions is what constitutes our genetics. As we mature, we either make
our inherent weaknesses weaker or stronger depending upon our lifestyles.
This is extremely important to understand because currently each generation
is becoming weaker instead of stronger. Today, more than ever, people are
consuming and injecting huge amounts of toxins into their bodies. We are
now seeing cancer (a form of degeneration and chronic toxicity) in the early
teens; chronic and degenerative issues in infants; and birth deformities as
never before. When organs and glands are underactive from genetics,
inflammation or toxicity, a host of imbalances and disease conditions can
result. It is easy to understand the concept of genetics. Our physical bodies
came from Mom and Dad, which means we will have many of their
characteristics, physically, mentally and emotionally. There is also a little of
grandmother and grandfather in us too, as their characteristics, encoded in
their genes, have been passed down through our parents. Geneticists say that
we carry in our bodies and psyches the legacy of four previous generations.
However, in my practice I have seen genetic patterns that have clearly been
passed along for many more than four generations. Every cell in your body is
a genetic cell—each a blueprint of its parent’s cell.
Cells become strong or weak depending upon what genetics has dictated
to them as well as from the effects of one’s lifestyle—that is, by what you eat,
drink, breathe, what is absorbed through your skin, and by what you think
and feel (emotions).
Cells live and function from their memories of their experiences, just as
we do. Certain experiences leave us weak and vulnerable, and the same is true
of cells. Physical acids and toxins can weaken and injure cells. Genetic
memories add to or subtract from the cell’s overall state of health. The impact
of all this together determines the strength or weakness of cells, organs and
glands, and whether or not they will provide the necessary functions they
were originally designed to perform. If you inherited a weakened thyroid,
weak adrenal glands or liver, for example, the duties of these tissues will be
compromised and their ability to produce hormones, digestive enzymes,
steroids, or whatever, can be greatly diminished. This then affects your whole
body and how it functions. Disease of one sort or another is the result. For
another look at this issue see “About Consciousness and Disease” later in this
section.
As a society we must begin to repair our weaknesses and rebuild ourcells so that future generations can live. Remember, nature never procreates
the weak. The weak are always consumed—this keeps nature healthy for all
species and the same can be said of each cell in your body.
Let’s look now at the two other primary causes of all disease, and the
reasons that tissues
fail in the first place: toxicity and overacidity (acidosis).
Both create obstructions within your body.
SECOND ROOT: TOXICITY

Toxicity (which means poison) is a broad-range term that includes many
things, from mucus accumulation from dairy foods, irritants and complex
sugars, to chemical, toxic metal and mineral deposits. This toxicity (which is
mostly acidic, and accumulates in the body) comes from foods, air, body-
hygiene products, household products, building materials … the list goes on
and on. Today, most of the foods people eat and the liquids they drink are
acidic, mucus-forming, energy-robbing and protein-toxic. The refined
starches we eat act like glue in the tissues of our body, causing plaque to
build up, as we discussed earlier. This toxicity, being acidic, can inflame and
congest tissue to the point of causing tissue death.
This toxicity and mucus is stored in all tissues, but noticed more in your
sinuses, throat, thyroid, lungs, muscles, liver, kidneys and skin. This is why
all these areas are affected when you have cold and flu-like symptoms. The
body tries to “purge” itself of these toxins, or as many of them as it can,
through natural processes called “disease.” Many “diseases” are nothing more
than elimination efforts by the body to purge itself of toxins, and/or dying or
dead cells.
As previously stated, toxicity builds up intra-cellularly and interstitially
(around cells) in the vascular system, in the organs and glands, in the bowels,
and in the cavities of our body. Combine this toxicity with an over-acid diet
and you get inflammation, ulceration, tumors and eventually cellular death
(degeneration). These toxins and mucus create obstruction, blocking blood
and lymph flow to and from cells. This greatly reduces a cell’s ability to
function and stay healthy.
Colds, flu, lymphatic conditions, lung conditions, gastrointestinal
problems, infections, to name a few of many conditions, are all symptoms of
this accumulation of toxicity in the body. Your immune system and/orparasites will naturally act upon this toxicity. Yet this natural response by
your immune system to this toxicity and, of course, to the parasites who feed
upon this toxicity, is oftentimes mistakenly called an autoimmune disorder.
Parasites and immune responses are always secondary to the cause; they are
side effects of the symptom.
THIRD ROOT: OVERACIDITY—ACIDOSIS

The body digests, absorbs, utilizes, reproduces, and eliminates in the presence
of fluids. These fluids include digestive juices, blood, extra- and intra-cellular
fluids, lymphatic fluids and urine. To fully understand the effects that food
and toxins have within your body, however, you first have to understand
opposites.
Creation exists because of the dynamic interplay of opposites, without
which everything would be the same. (Of course, because God is One, the
closer to God you get, the more the opposites merge.) The interplay between
opposites creates movement, activity, shapes, sizes, colors, temperatures. As
complicated as chemistry is, it rests upon two pillars or opposites: hot and
cold, or yin and yang, the names for the two opposing dynamics within
Chinese philosophy and medicine. Hot is called acid and cold is alkaline.
Acids initiate change and alkalis balance. This is the basis of all matter.
The elements which comprise matter are either acid or alkaline in nature.
Acid-forming elements include nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur. Oxygen,
calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium are alkaline elements. Many of
the alkaline elements are known as electrolytes because of their ability to
carry and deliver electrical charges. Alkaline elements have oxygen and
carbon dominating the hydrogen, whereas acids have nitrogen and hydrogen
dominating.
To maintain health and vitality, all of your body’s fluids

NEW  YORK  CITY
Children  of the  Light,  of the  One  Great  Father,  the
"Mighty  I AM  Presence"!  How  fortunate  you  are after
long,  long  centuries  of your  pilgrimage  upon  Earth,  in
various  embodiments  similar  to this;  always  reaching  out
thru  the Heart.  Yet the intellect  has been  constantly  refus-
ing the Feeling,  the Action  of the Heart;  having  forgotten
completely  that  the Heart  was  the Place  of Divine  Action.
It is True  today,  as it was  in the Beginning;  because  your
"Mighty  I AM  Presence"  is anchored  in your  Heart.  It
makes  your  Physical  Heart,  the Heart  of your  "Mighty  I
AM Presence"—in  action.  As you  come  to know,  that  your
Presence  is above  you,  then  giving  It your  attention,  it
brings  into  your  outer  world  of activity,  the Power  of your
Presence—whose  Anchorage  in the octave  of the human
Life,  is in your  Physical  Heart.
Will  you  be kind  enough,  Precious  Ones,  to hold  that
thought  tonight—while  I am dictating  to you;  and  feel  It
earnestly,  because  it is My Desire  to do a Definite  Work,
while  These  Words  are being  voiced  to you.
As you  know,  beginning  in San  Francisco,  I came  at
Beloved  Saint  Germain's  Request,  to assist  the People  of
Earth.  I came  forth  from  My Home  in the Light,  after  hav-
30 DISCOURSE  III  31
ing rendered  the  Service  in India,  as described  in the
"Magic  Presence."
Saint  Germain,  after  working  for so many  centuries  for
mankind,  determined  to try to awaken  people  again.  Every
time  He would  raise  them  to a certain  point,  rebellion  in
the human  feeling  at the discipline  required—for  the Re-
lease  of the Mighty  Energy  from  their  own  God  Presence,
would  swing  them  aside.
In Our  Discussions,  We had  to decide  what  was  the most
Powerful  means,  by which  This  Assistance  could  be given
mankind.  I said  to Him:  "I am willing  to try with  You  and
make  a Final  Effort,  to release  the Light  within  enough  of
mankind,  so the people  may  have  the Blessings,  which  It
holds  for them"!
The Light  in your  body  comes  from  your  "Beloved
Mighty  I AM  Presence"  and  nowhere  else!  The  persons
who  do not believe  the "I AM  Presence"  is there,  as de-
scribed  in This  Chart,  will  remain  in their  chains.  No one
may  say they  shall  not do so, if they  wish.  That  is within  the
choice  of the Individual;  but I tell you,  never  in the history
of the Earth,  has there  been  such  Tremendous  Release  of
Light  and  Energy  to bless  mankind,  as is coming  forth  at
this time.
We are not compelling  humanity  to accept  and  use This;
but We can and  do give  It forth  with  Greater  and  Greater
Release  of Power  and  Energy;  as the students'  attention  to
their  "Mighty  I AM  Presence"  prepares  them  for It. If they
will FEEL  the Directions  given,  there  is not a thing  in the 32 THE  "7 AM"  DISCOURSES
world  which  can prevent  their  Freedom,  Success  and  their
Ascension.
I want  you  to realize  tonight,  if you  will,  Precious  Ones,
there  is no time  in human  Life  and  experience,  when  man-
kind  has not been  guarded  by Those  Great  Ascended  Be-
ings and  the  Great  Cosmic  Beings!  Otherwise  mankind
would  not exist  today;  because  of the accumulation  of the
discordant  creations,  which  the people  have  drawn  into  the
atmosphere  of Earth.  Their  accumulated  discord  is the so-
called  astral  or psychic  world!  In


 talking
about hormones and weight loss. I thought that if I could lose someweight I might be able to move around better. I weighed 185 backthen, and I am 5 feet tall. The weight seemed to exacerbate mypain. So I decided to go in to see him.
He was astounding. I sat and talked to him for two and a half
hours for my first visit! He went over all my records, and then hestarted asking me such pointed questions that I kept on saying tomyself, “How did he know that?”
He told me I was internalizing anger and that I needed to
face what was angering me and cope with it. We talked aboutsome fairly personal stuff. He gave me some ideas for changing the61 FIBR OMYALGIA AND JANET L.  patterns in my life that were forcing me to swallow all this anger.
He said I could put the fibromyalgia into remission throughlifestyle changes and balancing my hormones.
I started taking progesterone and I went on the diet. Three
weeks after seeing Dr. Platt I went to see the rheumatologist. Hechecked my pressure points and told me there was no more inflam-mation. I told him that for the first time I was able to sleepthrough the night and that I didn’t have pain any more. This wasthree weeks after starting the progesterone! The rheumatologistsaid, “Whatever you’re doing, continue doing it. Your osteoarthritishas gone into remission.”
I got really excited about how effective the progesterone had
been. The next time I went in to see Dr. Platt I wanted to have awhole blood panel done. If one hormone could take away allthat pain, what else could we accomplish by balancing all ofmy hormones?
When he examined my blood panel, Dr. Platt said that I had
a thyroid deficiency. He gave me a prescription for thyroidmedication and my energy level increased dramatically. I continuedwith the diet, eventually losing 53 pounds. T oday I weigh 132and I feel so incredible, it’s as though someone gave me back mylife from years ago. I feel young inside. When I visited my grand-children up north last time, I went hiking and swimming withthem, things I’d never been able to do. “It’s like we have a newgrandma!” all the kids said.
Dr. Platt also prescribed testosterone, which has given me back
my sex life—my husband is absolutely thrilled.
I feel so blessed to have met Dr. Platt. He’s changed my life.
Some of my friends ask me whether I’d have sold my dream houseif I’d known I was going to feel this good—today I’d have noproblem with those flights of stairs. But I know everything happensfor a reason. I’m just grateful things have turned out the waythey have.62 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  AN UNDER-RECOGNIZED DISEASE
Janet’s long and unsuccessful quest to get help with her
fibromyalgia doesn’t surprise me at all. Only about 50 percentof doctors even acknowledge the reality of the disease. Even ifthey make the diagnosis, they usually tell their patients there’sno known cure. The reason the majority of doctors say theycannot cure fibromyalgia is because they are unaware of itsprobable causes.
In my experience, a large part of the cause is internalization
of anger. The other major cause is an imbalance in hormones.
Every patient I’ve ever treated for fibromyalgia has been
someone who internalizes anger. Often they are perfectionistswho have unrealistically high expectations of themselves and ofthe people living around them. They allow the behavior ofother people to control how they feel or allow the world theydeal with to make them angry. From what I have seen with mypatients, the challenge for those with fibromyalgia is often thisissue of control. This means disappointments can be many.
Think of a person with “road rage”; he or she is allowing
other drivers to determine how they feel. Instead of road rage,fibromyalgia sufferers have “life-in-general rage.”
The response to loss of control is anger, which they often
do not realize is internalized. The anger causes, in turn, a gen-eral tensing of muscles. When muscles are tensed, two thingshappen: lactic acid builds up, causing pain (athletes call it mus-cle burn), and a large amount of energy is expended, causingpersistent fatigue.
At night the mind may continue to deal with something
that is frustrating, so all night long their muscles tense. Thejaw tightens, causing them to grind their teeth or develop TMJ(temporomandibular joint dysfunction). A lot of anger couldalso be internalized into the GI tract, causing problems with63 FIBR OMYALGIA AND JANET L.  constipation and diarrhea, often referred to as IBS (irritable
bowel syndrome). People with fibromyalgia often awaken inthe morning with aches and pains: upper back pain, neck pain,low back pain, and pain along the sides of the hips.
Fibromyalgia sufferers are often people who can’t say no.
They wind up having unwanted house guests, havingThanksgiving and Christmas dinners at their house every year(talk about stress!), taking care of aging parents, and so on.
Very often they live with a controlling mate. They contin-
ually walk around “on eggshells,” with their muscles perpetuallytensed whether they are aware of it or not, always trying toplease their mate.
Another common example of anger due to loss of control
is the patient who can’t lose weight. They are dieting, exercising,cutting out fat, doing everything they think is right, and theycannot lose an ounce. Imagine their anger when they look inthe mirror every day. Their inability to lose weight is control-ling them.
Part of my approach with fibromyalgia patients is to give
them insight into their anger and work with them to discoverways to dissipate it. I urge them to make changes in their livesand to seek the help of a therapist, if necessary, to deal with thesource of their anger. I explain to my patients that I can gettheir hormones into balance, but I cannot eliminate theiranger. However, I help them begin to deal with the sources ofnegative energy in their lives.
FIBROMYALGIA AND METABOLISM
Janet L. and I had discussions about her anger, and she started
taking steps to change certain parts of her life accordingly.Meanwhile, I explained that her under-active thyroid was64 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  contributing to her problem. The thyroid gland has a tremen-
dous influence on muscle tissue, and when you’re dealing withfibromyalgia, you’re dealing with muscle tissue. The conditionthat causes the greatest damage to the muscles—more than heartattacks, more than anything else—is an under-active thyroid.Every patient I’ve ever treated for fibromyalgia has had anunder-active thyroid.
For muscles to work properly, one must replace certain
fuels they require that may have been depleted. The majorfuels include d-ribose, coenzyme Q-10, and magnesium—allavailable in health food stores.
I put Janet on thyroid medication and replaced certain
supplements, and that was the beginning of a healing processfor her muscles that eventually left her pain-free. I also pre-scribed progesterone. It’s a feel-good hormone that is effectivefor everyone, especially women.
Janet responded nicely to the hormones, to the weight loss,
and most especially to getting rid of her anger. T oday she’s avery happy woman.
THE MISSING LINK
So far I have talked about one aspect of fibromyalgia—the inter-
nalization of anger and the associated muscle tension, causingthe buildup of lactic acid and fatigue. Now I’d like to identifywhat I feel is another very common underlying cause offibromyalgia: ADHD. I do not make this statement lightly. It isbased on years of treating patients with adult ADHD. ADHDis associated with high levels of adrenaline, the fight-or-flighthormone. This can cause an increase in anger, stress, nervoustension, or rage. Any of these emotions can cause muscletension, leading to a buildup of lactic acid and subsequently65 FIBR OMYALGIA AND JANET L.  fibromyalgia. Very often, getting rid of the excess adrenaline
goes a long way toward eliminating fibromyalgia.
WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS
A number of my patients have had the perfect psychological and
physiological characteristics for fibromyalgia—yet they experi-enced no muscle tenderness. The one characteristic these peopleinvariably shared was that they practiced breathing exercises.Nothing that I am aware of brings about better musclerelaxation than deep breathing.
With eyes closed, take a deep breath in slowly, hold it for
a few seconds, then let it out slowly. T ry to keep the mindblank. Doing this for a few minutes several times a day can beextremely beneficial. Taking a deep breath when you feel angercoming on can help relieve muscle tension.
Deep breathing provides a dual benefit—it relaxes muscles
directly and, at the same time, enhances the flow of lymph.The body’s lymph system helps to drain waste products, whichincludes lactic acid, from muscle tissues.
The secret to a long life is to keep on breathing.
Every moment that you spend upset, in despair,
in anguish, angry or hurt because of the behavior of anybody else in your life is a moment in whichyou have given up control of your life.


, which will always remain personal. Up to the point when
they merged, two lovers walked separate paths. Together they create a new
path that has no past, where every step moves into the unkno wn, and no
amount of experience can light the way.
The following are the insights brought about in love’ s first communion:
Awareness can be shar ed. What God gives you out of love, you can give to someone you love.
Communion is the basis of trust.The unknown is the territory of lovers.
A S TRUGGLE  BETWEEN  LOVE AND  EGO
When two people meet in satsang, they can bring the fullness of their higher
Selves, yet what most of us bring to courtship is not fullness but need.
When need dominates over love the fragile thread of spirit is broken. Need
implies a lack in oneself, a missing piece that someone else must supply.
Women are generally asked to supply the softness, nurturing, comfort,
beauty, and affection that men cannot otherwise find within. Men are
expected to supply the strength, protection, power, and will that women
cannot otherwise find. Both feel that the other has made them complete.
Need is a power ful thing, capable of creating powerful illusions. No one
can really enter you and replace a missing piece. The softness or tenderness
or nurturing a man finds in a woman is only borrowed unless he can be
taught to. develop those same qualities. A woman may bene fit from the
power, will, and strength she finds in a man, but that is not the same as
having these qualities become her own.
In court ship we decide whether to borrow from another or actually
become what the other represent s. In communion you can become what you
perceive, if your satsang is deep enough. It is all a question of intent. Will
you bandage your inner needs or actually heal them? Only the long journey
ahead can answer this, but courtship clears the way.
Given our cultural conditioning, most couples lose the fragile thread of
spirit in this phase. As the heigh tened emotions of infatuation begin to cool,
what replaces them is ego, the main component of the false self. We all rely
upon our egos to lead us through the known world. “I” is not a fixed entity
but a constantly accumulating set of experiences.
The ego always seems to know what it needs. An ego need can be
defined as anything that bolsters “me.” By feeding your isolated identity,
you continue the most familiar mode of existence you have known, which is
the pursuit of self-image. The fact that romantic passion can take a person
beyond ego doesn’ t abolish the ego’ s needs.
Typically, the courtship phase is when most lovers begin to have doubts.
The issue of commitment arises, and the first hints of incompat ibility make
their unwelcome appearance. Courtships generally break off when one orthe other person feels that his or her needs aren’ t going to be met. The man
may feel that the woman is not sufficiently deferential or suppo rtive of his
self-image; the woman may feel that the man is not sensitive or caring
enough to nourish her feelings.
Although it is typical for both a man and a woman to have potent
fantasies about each other befor e they become intimate, once they begin to
spend time together, fantasy is not strong enough to restrain the ego. There
is now a precarious balance between love, which makes communion
possible, and need, which doesn ’t want to sacrifice selfishness unless forced
to.
It is unfair to blame any single person for lack of trust given our social
experience. We have all been conditioned to obey ego needs blindly. We are
a society that has grown suspicious of intimate contact. Some intrusions of
personal space are horrifying, such as rape and murder, but the betrayal of
space is extremely disturbing even when violence isn’t done. Two people
engaged in an alimony fight or a bitter custody dispute are in essence taking
advantage of the intimate knowledge they gained in marriage, turning trust
into aggression. It is no wonder that allowing another person past your well-
guarded defenses causes deep conflict, for the person who might deliver
you from threat might also prove to be the enemy inside your gates.
Being in love isn’t going to abolish crime, war, homelessness, racial
strife, and the multitude of other threats around us. The ego uses these
outside dangers to convince you that the world is hostile and uncaring. To
all appearances the ego is right, but only according to its isolationist
perspective. In truth, to see anything without love is to see it fearfully.
Threat doesn’ t arise “out there.” Its origins are “in here,” where we first
establish our beliefs. Defenses exist to ward off threat. They are like an
early warning system that can be tuned so sensitively that no one could be
unthreatening enough to disarm them.
The real question, then, is how to defuse the sense of threat enough to
allow love to be trusted. What feeds threat and keeps it going? The answers
are many, but they can be simplified. Every threat is a shadow from the
past.
In reality ther e is nothing to fear in the pr esent. Fear is pr ojected onto the pr esent by memory.Newborn infants, because they have no past, lack all defenses; a baby is
completely vulnerable to any intruder or harmful influence, utterly
dependent upon outside protecti on to survive. Yet, paradoxically, no one is
more invulnerable than a newborn child, because it has no fear. Experience
has yet to create  its imprint on the nervous system, and withou t a frame of
reference there is no threat. (It is true that babies have instinctive fears, such
as fear of falling, but these are physical rather than psychological. Physical
fear contributes  to survival, whereas psychological fear can be crippling.
The one promotes fast, sure reactions; the other can create paralysis.)
Threat is a subjective interpretation that must be taught; it often bears
little relationship to the actual danger surrounding a person. That is why a
sport like mountain climbing can turn instinctive fear—the fear of falling—
into a joyful experience; everything depends upon interpretation.
The enterprise of learning how to defend oneself in the world takes a
long time. We all cherish our survival skills, having long ago abandoned the
fearlessness of a newborn. When courtship asks us to commit ourselves to
another person, we unconsciously see this as a decision that could affect our
survival—that is what giving up your defenses feels like. Your doubt and
mistrust toward someone you love is a mirror of your own belief that fear is
necessary, that survival isn’ t possible without defenses.
SEPARA TING TRUE FROM  FALSE
Courtship allows trust to grow despite old wounds. Given how many years
we’ve all spent building our defenses, this healing doesn’ t happen quickly.
In fact, the first phase of healin g brings up old wounds to be felt afresh.
Only when you begin to feel safe does your psyche permit you to look at
fears that were too intense to confront before. It is common for either
partner to relive, in contemporary form, the traumas and survival threats of
childhood. It isn’t surprising, then, that a man and woman may not permit
themselves to be in a healing relationship at first. They need the courage to
see that the doubt and fear that surface at odd moments is comi ng up to be
examined and released, not blindly acted on.
The most destructive effect of feeling threatened is to cut off the flow of
love. If you were not taught about love from childhood, being able to beundefended with another perso n is much more difficult. Loving parents
must teach their children that reality isn’ t simply harsh.
All of us wer e imprinted one of two ways: either the world is danger ous with moments of safety, or
the world is safe with moments of danger.
No matter how hostile the world appears, a loving family remains secure
as a place of nurturing and protection. Children don’t need to trust
everyone, only someone who will never let them down—thus the original
balance between love and need is established. A strong positive imprint
from infancy can last a lifetim e. Even though only two paren ts taught a
child to love, it is as if the whole world loved that child, and the belief “I
am loved” endures as part of his or her reality. When you have a rock-
bottom belief that you are loved, your needs won’ t be so desperate; there
will be room to allow another person into your inner space.
The worst impri nt you can have  from childhood is that your models for
love were also models of betrayal. This happens in cases of abuse—
physical, sexual, or emotional. With any sort of abuse in your background,
you will secretly regard every lover as an enemy. The gentlest caress
contains the possibility of being struck; the softest endearment resonates
with potential degradation.
Ironically, it is just these childr en who grow up to crave love the most,
but being insecure, feeling the need for defense beyond what is reasonable,
they also pull away from commitment the fastest. Such people are not
certain deep down that they can feel love, despite their craving for it. Even
the most intoxic ating romance will not be able to overcome a history that
places ego needs much higher than those of relationship.
Getting to true love is a growth  process, and


 However, this man’s  sister told
him that their father had confided to her that a will had been e xecuted
which was fair to all. Every attempt to locate the will failed.
Prior to sleep he talked to his deeper mind as follows: “I now turn
this request over the subconscious mind. It knows just where tha t will
is, and reveals it to me.” Then he condensed his request down to one
word, “Answer,” repeating it over and over again as a lulla by. He
lulled himself to sleep with the word, “Answer.”
The next morning this young man had an overpowering hunch to go
to a certain bank in Los Angeles where he found a safe deposit  vault
registered in the name of his father, the contents of which so lved all
his problems.
Your thought, as you go to sleep, arouses the powerful latency,
which is within you. For example, let us suppose you are wondering
whether to sell your home, buy a certain stock, sever partnersh ip,
move to New York or stay in Los Angeles, dissolve the pres ent
contract or take a new one. Do this: Sit quietly in your armcha ir or at
the desk in your office. Remem-ber that there is a universal  law of
action and reaction. The action is your thought. The reaction is the
response from your subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is
reactive and reflexive; this is its nature. It rebounds, re wards, and
repays. It is the law of correspondence. It responds by corre sponding.
As you contemplate right action, you will automatically experi- ence a
reaction or response in yourself, which represents the guidance o r
answer of your subconscious mind.
In seeking guidance, you simply think quietly about right action,
which means that you are using the infinite intelligence resi dent in the
subconscious mind to the point where it begins to use you. From t here
on, your course of action is directed and controlled by the subject ive
wisdom within you, which is all wise and omnipotent. Your decision
will be right.
 135  There will only be right action because you are under a subje ctive
compulsion to do the right thing. I use the word compulsion because
the law of the subconscious is compulsion.
• The secret of guidance
The secret of guidance or right action is to mentally devote yourself
to the right answer, until you find its response in you. The respons e is
a feeling, an inner awareness, and an overpowering hunch wher eby
you know that you know. You have used the power to the point where
it begins to use you. You cannot possibly fail or make one fals e step
while operating under the subjective wisdom within you. You will
find that all your ways are pleasantness and all your paths are peace.
• Highlights to recall
1. Remember that the subconscious mind has determined the
success and wonderful achievements of all great scientific workers.
2. By giving your conscious attention and devotion to the solu-tion
of a perplexing problem, your subconscious mind gathers all th e
necessary information and presents it full-blown to the conscious
mind.
3. If you are wondering about the answer to a problem, try to solv e
it objectively. Get all the information you can from resear ch and also
from others. If no answer comes, turn it over to your subconscious
mind prior to sleep, and the an-swer always comes. It never fails.
4. You do not always get the answer overnight. Keep on turn-ing
your request over to your subconscious until the daybreaks and the
shadows flee away.
5. You delay the answer by thinking it will take a long time or that it
is a major problem. Your subconscious has no prob-lem it knows  only
the answer.
6. Believe that you have the answer now. Feel the joy of the a nswer
and the way you would feel if you had the perfect answer. Your
subconscious will respond to your feeling.
 136  7. Any mental picture, backed by faith and perseverance, will com e
to pass through the miracle-working power of your subconscious.
Trust it, believe in its power, and wonders will happen as you pray.
8. Your subconscious is the storehouse of memory, and within your
subconscious are recorded all your experiences since childhood.
9. Scientists meditating on ancient scrolls, temples, fossils,  etc., are
able to reconstruct scenes of the past and make them alive today.
Their subconscious mind comes to their aid.
10. Turn over your request for a solution to your subconscious prior
to sleep. Trust it and believe in it, and the answer will come. It knows
all and sees all, but you must not doubt or question its powers.
11. The action is your thought, and the reaction is the response of
your subconscious mind. If your thoughts are wise, your actions and
decisions will be wise.
12. Guidance comes as a feeling, an inner awareness, an over-
powering hunch whereby you know that you know. It is an inner sense
of touch. Follow it.

Your Subconscious and the Wonders of
Sleep
You spend about eight out of every twenty-four hours, or one-third
of your entire life, in sleep. This is an inexorable law of li fe. This also
applies to the animal and vegetable kingdoms. Sleep is a divi ne law,
and many answers to our problems come to us when we are sound
asleep upon the bed.
Many people have advocated the theory that you get tired during t he
day, that you go to sleep to rest the body, and that a reparati ve process
takes place while you sleep. Nothing rests in sleep. Your hea rt, lungs,
and all your vital organs func-tion while you are asleep. If you e at
prior to sleep, the food is digested and assimilated; also, your skin
secretes perspiration, and your nails and hair continue to grow.
Your subconscious mind never rests or sleeps. It is always active,
controlling all your vital forces. The healing process take s place more
rapidly while you are asleep as there is no inter-ference fr om your
conscious mind. Remarkable answers are given to you while you are
asleep.
• Why we sleep
Dr. John Bigelow, a famous research authority on sleep,*
demonstrated that at night while asleep you receive impressi ons
showing that the nerves of the eyes, ears, nose, and taste buds  are
active during sleep, and also that the nerves of your brain are quite
active. He says that the main reason we sleep is be-
* Dr. John Bigelow, The Mystery of Sleep (New York and London:
Harper Brothers, 1903). cause “the nobler part of the soul is un ited by
abstraction to our higher nature and becomes a participant i n the
wisdom and foreknowledge of the gods.”
 138  Dr. Bigelow states also, “The results of my studies have not  only
strengthened my convictions that the supposed exemp-tion from
customary toils and activities was not the final pur-pose of sleep, but
have also made clearer to my mind the conviction that no part o f a
man’s life deserves to be considered more indispensable to  its
symmetrical and perfect spiritual development than the while  he is
separated from the phenomenal world in sleep.”
• Prayer, a form of sleep
Your conscious mind gets involved with vexations, strife, and
contentions of the day, and it is very necessary to withdraw
periodically from sense evidence and the objective world, and
commune silently with the inner wisdom of your subconscious mind.
By claiming guidance, strength, and greater intelligence in al l phases
of your life, you will be enabled to overcome all difficulti es and solve
your daily problems.
This regular withdrawal from sense evidence and the noise and
confusion of everyday living is also a form of sleep, i.e., you be come
asleep to the world of the senses and alive to the wisdom and power of
your subconscious mind.
• Startling effects of sleep deprivation
Lack of sleep can cause you to become irritable, moody, and
depressed.
Dr. George Stevenson of the National Associa-tion for Mental
Health says, “I believe it can safely be said that all hu man beings need
a minimum of six hours’ sleep to be healthy. Most people need more.
Those who think they can get along on less are fooling themselves.”
Medical research scholars, investigating sleep processes an d
deprivation of sleep, point out that severe insomnia has prec eded
psychotic breakdown in some instances. Remember, you are
spiritually recharged during sleep, and adequate sleep is essential to
produce joy and vitality in life.

 139  • You need more sleep
Robert O’Brien, in an article, “Maybe You Need More Sleep,” i n an
issue of The Reader¶s Digest, reports the following experiment on
sleep: “For the last three years experiments have bee n in progress at
Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Washington, D.C.
Subjects—more than one hundred military and civilian volun-t eers—
have been kept awake for as long as four days. Thousands of te sts
have measured the effects on their behavior and per


 of the supplements I use for
practically every patient who needs to overcome bowel disturbances. Alfalfa offers the proper bulk, but sometimes produces mo re
gas as we stir up this lazy bowel to act, and, for this reason, we use a couple of digestive enzymes to get rid of the gas.
Apple Juice —Very good for the bowel because it is high in pectin, which is a moisture -holding substance.
Apple Cider Vinegar —Very high i n potassium and is good to relieve any mucus or catarrhal conditions. It helps provide needed
nutrients to muscle tissue.
Beet Tablets —A slight laxative that works well with the liver, promoting the cleansing of that organ.
Bentonite —A clay suspended in wa ter. It is very useful in absorbing toxic substances. It can absorb 40 times its own weight in
toxic substances. It acts like a sponge, mopping up undesirable debris.
Mucilaginous Bulk —This material holds moisture well and attaches itself to the mucus lini ng making it soft and loose so it will
move away from the bowel wall. This is a very important ingredient to the success of the treatment.
Cod Liver Oil —Provides lubrication and helps work with the liver in cleansing. It provides vitamins A and D which are  needed for
good elimination.
Coffee —Stimulates peristaltic action in the bowel —driving down feces and stimulating bile production in the liver.
Dulse —Quickens the thyroid gland and speeds up the metabolism while bringing heat to the body causing the blood  to circulate
deeper.
Spring Green and Green Life Tablets —Brand names for very potent biogenic plant substances. They provide rich sources of
vitamins, minerals and enzymes that help in the cleansing process. We believe that Green Life is the finest supple ments to be used
with this colema program; however, if it is not available, you may use Sun Chlorella, in the same amount. Be sure to crush th e
tablets into powder form before taking.
Flaxseed —Excellent bulk maker, and in extreme cases of ulcerated colitis, provides a soothing and healing tea to be put into the
colema water. It also is a bowel lubricant. For one of the colema solutions to be used when any serious cases are confronted,  such
as colitis, always use flaxseed tea. You can also add a teaspoon or more of liquid chlorophyll to this flaxseed tea for the colema
water. This can be taken by mouth as well. When taken orally, use one cup tea and one teaspoon liquid chlorophyll three times  a
day. This can be used in cases of extreme gas, spastic conditions, colitis, etc.
Liquid Chlorophyll —Very wonderful for the bowel. It is soothing and reduces inflammation, swelling and pain. It disinfects and
cleanses.
Niacin —Produces hot, red flush and is used to push the blood deep into underactive tissues so that we c an strengthen them with
vital nutritents.
Pancreatin —This is the one thing that helps most to bring down the mucus lining. It is a powerful digestant substance and loosens
the lining.

Mr. Irons produces most of these products and they are very good. Nature’s Sunshine is also producing similar products. Please
inquire for a very good all -around vitamin that is chemically balanced for both the adult and children. I have had many requests
from strict vegetarians about the use of the animal products in th is treatment. Specifically, the Pancreatin and Cod Liver Oil. For
those so concerned, I wish it were possible to recommend substitutes that are as effective as these. Unfortunately, I am not aware
of any at this time. It is particularly important to use th e Pancreatin as it has the unique ability to dissolve and digest the heavy
mucus encrustation that causes so much of the bowel troubles.
Vitamin A is not readily available in a natural form other than cod liver oil. There are synthetic forms available, but  I do not
recommend their use. Vegetarian A is usually a pro -vitamin A and of low potency.

I feel that the benefits of this treatment outweight the use of the animal products for the brief period that they are employ ed. Once
the bowel is re -established in to a healthier condition, then use of these substances can be discontinued.
Betaine HCL and herbal digestants have not given good results and are not recommended as viable substitutes for Pancreatin.
Papaya tea or extract help. Huckleberry tea or extract m ay also be a substitute. We have not tried these and therefore cannot report
on the effectiveness of them. If you suffer from an allergic reaction to any particular ingredient, then omit it from the pro gram until
it may be tolerated at a later time.

urine therapy. In somana Mandi (Punjab), I met him after Divali. He told me that at his instance several people had been free from their respective ailments. He also narrated his own case. He had cured but it turned into a sore. Western and indigenous medicines, even the so-called "germs-cutter" proved futile. He had to suffer from it for nine years. At last urine massage and urine intake drove away the nine-year-old complaint.”  from Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  SLEEPING PROBLEMS  Mr. D. Georgia "I am a PWA. Three months prior to starting Urine Therapy I experienced heavy night sweats, and I needed 18 hours of sleep daily! Also my skin was very dry and ashy looking. All these symptoms got resolved within 10 days of Urine Therapy. I now play one hour of basketball every day. What a difference!"  World-wide Case Histories of Urine Therapy by Gary Ward  SORE THROAT  “Mrs. Mistri from Bombay (Karve Road), informs that she could cure her own sore throat and could get rid of tonsils of her son by the use of urine by taking it orally and by its garglings.”  Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  SORE THROAT  172 “Shri Dinubhai Joshi (Advocate, Bombay High Court) advised his brother to take to urine therapy for curing his sore throat and tongue. In three weeks he was cured of his trouble.”  Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  SNAKE BITE  “Ishwarbhai K. Mehta ( Gangasadan, Matave Road, Malad Bombay 64 ) had a good chance to treat a case of snake-bite. A young man of 25 had a snake-bite and was about to die. His blood-mixed urine was given to him constantly, and he was massaged with urine. His life was saved.”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn  SNAKE BITE  “Urine is an anti-poisonous substance and a good tonic. Snake-charmers keep a bowlful of urine handy while catching a snake, so they may be able to drink and apply it without loss of time in case of a snakebite. Jain monks say that one who drinks urine regular for six months becomes immune to snake-poison.”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn  SNAKE BITE  “A friend who lives in New York, told me that he was once bitten by a poisonous snake in the African bush. He knew that the bite of that snake was fatal and could kill him in a few minutes. He was so terror stricken that he could not control himself and started  urinating. In that instant he was inspired to collect the urine in his hands and drink it. A few minutes later he started to feel pain and his leg became numb. He slept a few hours, had fever for two days, but did not die and had no permanent damage to his limb.   ‘Drinking urine saved my leg and my life,’ he beamed.”  Uropathy by Martin J. Lara  SNAKE BITE, COPPERHEAD  In the thick jungle… “A snake, most probably a copperhead, pressed its teeth deep into my lower leg. Blood was streaming out - the distance to the next hospital was at least one hour. Certainly, I 173 remembered my mention on the front cover of my book and treated myself with the miracle juice [urine]. I went to the hospital and continued my treatment but had to give some of my urine to the doctor for analysis. The effect of the bite was to our surprise minimal. I left hospital without ‘modern’ treatment, on my own feet and not in a wooden box.”  Urine: The Holy Water by Harald W. Tietze  SNAKE BITE, COBRAS  “Following the first All India Conference in 1993, I met a man who had been bitten twice by cobras. I am sorry I didn’t get the exact details of his treatment. How did you handle your snakebite… in detail? I kind of vaguely recall he had a local doctor inject the region of the bite along with drinking his urine and applying it topically. Urea has a mild de-naturing effect on proteins. That may be one of the mechanisms of the antidote. Our house has always a lot of brown recluse spiders. I don’t worry much about them… maybe its because I know pee.”  Urine: The Holy Water by Harald W. Tietze  SPIDER BITE, FUNNEL WEB SPIDER  From B.J.K. “I would like to share from personal experience, an effective remedy for treatment of poisonous bites and stings.  Firstly about two years ago I was stung by a blue bottle jellyfish (Portuguese Man-O-War) while body surfing (unfortunately I had just relieved myself in the surf). I came straight home and rubbed some old urine into the site. (I always keep some 1-2 days old), the pain diminished to negligible in a matter of minutes, and with a second application half an hour later, the pain and the red welts caused by the sting completely disappeared.  Secondly, I was bitten on the back of my hand by a funnel web spider about a year ago: the pain was excruciating. My hand swelled up near twice the size in a matter of minutes. I went straight inside and filled a glass full of urine and drank it (fortunately, I had a full bladder) and rubbed some old urine (from same morning). The pain went instantly and I was able to work after lunch for the next four hours as a massage therapist, although the swelling remained for about 48 hours -- it didn’t move past my wrist and I had no systemic effect.”  Urine: The Holy Water by Harald W. Tietze  174 SNAKE POISON  "Lord Sushrut has mentioned auto-urine as an anti-poisonous substance and a good tonic. Snake-charmers keep a bowlful of urine handy while catching a snake so that he may be able to drink and apply it without loss of time in case of a urine regularly for six months becomes immune to snake poison. The same is the opinion of may Jain monks and other sadhus."  Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  SPEECH IMPEDIMENT  Juan Carlos G. Meza, Mexico. "Juan Carlos is 8 years old and suffers mental retardation. He has been taking urine for six weeks. He has improved so much in his speech. Already he can make sentences. He did not speak at all. In three years of the help from a specialized school, he began to speak, but in one month he began to make longer sentences. He is more wide-awake and mature mentally."

The splinter had pierced the iris and was sticking out an inch or more. The splinter was removed she fasted for a few weeks on urine and water at the end of which time the trouble was completely cured and the patient had perfect sight.”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn  STAINS  “Over 50 years ago my (late) husband worked in the arrowroot industry, and later in the banana industry….all harvesting was done by hand.

Com., is a young man of 26 years, His father is a rich factory owner. He was having serious stomachache. He stayed at Gorakhpur and Bareili Nature Cure Homes for several months but had no benefit. Then I made him undergo urine treatment for two months. Besides drinking and massage, I made him undertake fasts with urine also. Now he is completely cured and is happy.”  from Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel   STOMACH ACHE  “Shri Chaturbhai Bhailalbhai lives in the village Mogari near Anand. His wife was fat and often felt pairt in her stomach. As the daughter of Shri Chaturbhai was cured of her ear-trouble with urine therapy, he adopted it for the stomach-ache of his wife also and started with rubbing urine. Within a week of rubbing, there was considerable improvement. she felt some relief and a feeling of vitality and vigour in here body. After that she also fasted on urine. With the treatment of about a month, the stomach pain disappeared and she became healthy, active and strong.”  Manav Mootra by R. M.

, particularly if larger
quantities of more concentrated foods like seeds and nuts are eaten. Though this diet has ceased to be cleansing, few if any toxins
from misdigestion will be produced and health is easy to maintain.
    "Raw fooders" are usually people who have healed themselves of a serious diseases and ever after continue to maintain
themselves on unfired food, almost as a matter of religious belief. They have become convinced that eating only raw, unfired food
is the key to extraordinarily long life and suprem e good health. When raw fooders wish to perform hard physical work or strenuous
exercise, they"ll consume raw nuts and some raw grains such as finely -ground oats soaked overnight in warm water or deliciously
sweet "Essene bread," made from slightly sproute d wheat that is then ground wet, made into cakes, and sun baked at temperatures
below about 115 degrees Fahrenheit. Essene bread can be purchased in some health food stores. However, little or no healing o r
detoxification can happen once concentrated energ y sources are added to the diet, even raw ones.
    During my days at Great Oaks School I was a raw fooder for some years, though I found it very difficult to maintain body heat
on raw food during chilly, rainy Oregon winters and eventually struck a perso nal compromise where I ate about half my diet raw
and the rest fired. I have listed some books by raw fooders in the Bibliography. Joe Alexander"s is the most fun.

Complete Recovery Of The Seriously Ill
    Its a virtual certainty that to fully recover, a  seriously ill person will have to significantly rebuild numerous organs. They have a
hard choice: to accept a life of misery, one that the medical doctors with drugs and surgery may be able to prolong into an
interminable hell on earth, or, spend several years working on really healing their body, rotating between water fasting, juice or
broth fasting, extended periods on a cleansing raw food diet, and periods of no -cleansing on a more complete diet that includes
moderate amounts of cooked vegetables and s mall quantities of cooked cereals. And even after recovery someone who was quite
ill may have to live the rest of their life on a rather restricted regimen.
    It is unrealistic to expect one fast to fix everything. The body will heal as much as it can in  the allotted time, but if a dangerous
illness has not been fully remedied by the first intense fast, a raw food diet must be followed for three to six months until  weight
has been regained, nutritional reserves have been rebuilt and it is safe to undertak e another extended fast. More than two water or
juice fasts a year of thirty continuous days are not recommended nor should they be necessary unless the life is in imminent danger
and there is no other option.
    The story of Jake"s catastrophic illness a nd almost -cure is a good example of this type of program. Jake was from back East. He
phoned me because he had read a health magazine article I had written, his weak voice faintly describing a desperate conditio n. He
was in a wheelchair unable to walk, una ble to control his legs or arms very well, was unable to control his bladder and required a
catheter. He had poor bowel control, had not the strength to talk much or loudly and most frightening to him, he was steadily
losing weight although he was eating l arge amounts of cooked vegetables and grains. Jake had wasted away to 90 pounds at 5"10"
and looked pathetic when I first saw him wheeled off an airplane at my local airport.
    Jake had seen a lot of medical doctors and had variously been diagnosed as h aving chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic (whatever
that is) meningitis, and multiple sclerosis. He had been treated by virtually every medical expert and many famous alternativ e
practitioners, utilizing a host of old and new techniques, all to no avail. He had even tried intravenous chelation therapy and
colonics. It had also been suggested that he enter a hospital for the treatment of eating disorders and/or see a psychiatrist. He had
tried to gain admittance to a number of holistic fasting institutions bac k east, but they all refused him because they considered the
risk was too high to fast a person at such a low body weight. But I had previously fasted emaciated people like Jake, and the re was
something I liked about his telephone presence. Perhaps this is  why I foolishly decided I knew better than the other experts.
    People commonly waste away and die while eating large amounts of food. Obviously they are unable to digest or assimilate
nutrients or they wouldn’t be wasting. Eating further increases the ir toxic burden from undigested meals, further worsening their
already failing organs. The real solution is to stop feeding them altogether so that their digestive functions can heal. In J ake’s case,
his body’s nutritional reserves had already become sadly  depleted due to poor absorption over such an extended period, so I could
not fast him on water. I immediately put Jake on a rich mineral broth prepared from everything left alive in our garden at th e end
of winter –leaves of kale, endive plants, whole huge  splitting Savoy cabbages, garlic, huge leeks including their green tops, the
whole stew fortified with sea weed. It did not matter too much what vegetables I used as long as there were lots of leafy gre ens
containing lots of chlorophyll (where the most co ncentrated mineral nutrition is located).
    Jake was given colonics every day, but had to be carried to the colonic table because he could not support his own weight.
Whoever had given him colonics previously had not accomplished much for I must say that  Jake had the most foul smelling
discharges that I had ever encountered in administering over 6,000 colonics over many years. It was as if his body was litera lly
rotting from the inside out.
    After 30 days on mineral broth Jake, who really did weigh 90  pounds when he arrived, was only down to 85! When a person
already close to skeletal weight starts fasting, to conserve vital tissue the body goes rapidly into a state of profound rest  so it uses
very little energy, thus it loses very little weight each d ay. This degree of resting also helps heal abnormal body parts earlier. After
one month on mineral broth Jake began to show signs of mineral deficiencies in the form of a fine tremor of the hands, and cr amps
in the feet, so I put him on mineral supplements  too.
    Jake was in my house for a long time. At the end of the second month on broth he started two weeks on raw carrot juice with a
lot of chlorophyll added from sources such as algae (spirulina), wheat grass juice, alfalfa, etc.. This was followed by  two more
weeks on small quantities of raw fruits and vegetables, and then followed by two weeks with added steamed vegetables, and
finally, he achieved a diet which included small amounts of grain, cooked legumes and raw nuts, plus the fruits and vegetabl es
previously mentioned. Jake health steadily improved. He gained control of his bladder, bowels, speech, hands, and legs. He be gan
to exercise in the living room on a stationary bike, and walked slowly up and down our long driveway, picking daffodils in t he
beautiful spring weather.
    Sadly, though I could help his body to heal it was next to impossible to stem the tides of Jake’s appetites or to pleasantly
withstand his tantrums when he was denied; he always wanted more in terms of quantity, more in te rms of variety, and at more
frequent intervals. Though his organs had healed significantly, his digestive capacity was not nearly as large as he remember ed
himself enjoying before he got sick. And never would be. Jake was not happy about the dietary restri ctions necessary for him to
retain his newly attained health, and unwilling to stay within the limits of his digestive system’s ability to process foods.  He had
gained weight and was back up to 120 pounds. It was time for him to go home before I lost my go od humor.
    Jake left with a lot of "good lucks" and stern admonitions to stick to his stringent diet and supplement program. It was a bi g
moment for Jake. He had arrived in a wheelchair three months before. Now he walked unaided to the airplane, someth ing he had
not been able to do for two years.
    Back at home Jake had no one courageous enough to set limits for him. His immediate family and every one of his brow beaten
associates were compelled to give him everything that he wanted. So his appetite and lack of personal discipline got the better of
him. He started eating lots of dates and figs. These had been eliminated from his diet because he was unable to process foods
which such a high sugar content. He also ate larger and larger quantities of gra ins, nuts and avocados, although I had warned him
of specific quantity limits on rich foods. Most sadly, he returned to enjoying spaghetti with lots of cheese grated on top. W ithin
months of leaving my care his paralysis and weakness returned, except that unfortunately for him, he still retained the ability to
assimilate food and maintain his body weight. Ironically, the only ultimate benefit of his fasting with me was to permit him to
suffer a far longer existence in a wheelchair without wasting away and e scaping into death.
    I would be failing my readers if I did not explain why


 towards feeling better.
I  didn't wait six months to see the doctor. I  called for an appointment four months
later because of the continuing pain. I  saw the skin specialist and on January 14,
1972, he cut away another portion of my chin. Another biopsy was performed.
Diagnosis: Cancer. He now told me that I  should see another type of specialist. In his
opinion, I  now needed chemo-surgery because the cancer had metastasized and
evidently was deeper than he had previously thought. He explained the treatment to
me. I  would be under the care of a very well known chemotherapy specialist. I  would
not have to be hospitalized for the treatment. I  would go to the hospital for five to ten
days on a daily basis from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Special chemicals would be put on
my face and where an area revealed cancer, the specialist would cut. After following
this procedure, he told me that if my face did not heal he knew of a very good plastic
surgeon.
For several reasons, I  decided not to follow the above path. First, the expense was
beyond the means of my husband and myself, and second, female vanity. I  could not
bear to think of going out shopping, or going to work with a face any more mutilated
with scars and blobs than I  already had from previous facial operations described
above. I  must mention here that after the second facial surgery when the bandages
were removed, instead of a scar there was a big blue eruption on my skin, which I
named "The Blue Blob." The surgeon said it was the "cancer showing." I  reasoned
that since neither the surgeon or the skin specialist had cured me — even though I
was assured of a cure with each bit of surgery I  went through — I  was fearful of
following the road many of my relatives had. Too many in my family have died of
cancer. I  can remember hearing the doctors assure them and members of the family
that they would recover. Doctors assure cancer patients they w ill recover till the day
the cancer patients die.
The surgeon/skin specialist recommending chemo-surgery wanted me to start
treatment immediately. I  had quite a time telling him I  could not do this immediately;
that I  had to take care of business and personal matters first. It was difficult but I
finally convinced him it wasn't necessary for me to quickly hop into the chemo-
surgery program. I  promised to call him soon and let him know when I  would start
the chemo-surgery program. I  never did call him, but his nurse and even he called my
husband, urging him to reason with me "for my own good."
Right after receiving the "black news," I  called my husband at work and told him I
wouldn't be back at our place of business or home until I  found another way to
combat cancer. Don't laugh at me. I  knew there must be a way to fight cancer
without being cut, burned or poisoned any more. In the summer of 1971, my
husband was tutoring in Connecticut. While he was out working one sunny afternoon
and I  was alone in our hotel room, for the first time in my life I  prayed to God for
156
Winning The Cancer War
help. I  cried and prayed at the same time. I  cried because I  was in so much pain I  let
it all out because I  was alone and no one could hear me. I  prayed out loud; I  prayed
silently. I  kept repeating, "If there's a God, then help me find the person who can
help me get well." I  fell asleep crying and when I  woke I  thought, "Soon I'll find a
way to fight cancer."
While I  was talking to my husband, it came to me that my prayers for help would
be answered by visiting a health store in my neighborhood that carried a varied
selection of books on the subject of health, including cancer. Also, this health store
posted notices of health meetings which I  noted from time to time, but never attended
because I  was working when the meetings were held.
After talking with my husband, I  took a subway to the health store and read the first
four pages of the Kelley book, One Answer to Cancer and got very excited because
the symptoms Dr. Kelley describes in a cancer patient have matched mine except for
the hernia. That condition I  didn't have. I  begged and pleaded with the owner of the
health store to help me get to Dr. Kelley. She listened but did not answer. I  told her I
was sure she knew how to help me get the Kelley Test. I  broke down and cried and
told her I  had cancer. Then she gave me the name of a person to contact.
I  had my first Kelley Test in late January of 1972. The Kelley Test disclosed that I
had only one tumor and that it was in the jaw area of my face. Imagine dear reader;
Dr. Kelley told me the location of my cancer sight unseen; he told me the location
without subjecting me to painful surgery or biopsies. I  say shame on the medical
profession for ignoring Dr. Kelley.
The first day I  began the Kelley regime I  took the Epsom salt "cocktail" and
collapsed on my kitchen floor. Yes, I  was that full of garbage. I  know that today. All
my life, until I  started the Kelley program, I  did not eat food to nourish my body; I  ate
American Junk Food — French fries, pizza, soft drinks, potato chips, etc.
The Kelley program is not at all similar to any program devised today by the
Medical Establishment. You don't take a pill or a few pills; you don't get a shot or a
few shots. By golly, you have to WORK to get well. I  experienced many unpleasant,
unusual conditions I  had never experienced before. I  had migraine headaches, and all
too often, because I  went overly "gung-ho" on the program. I  developed "Flu-like
body aches." The Kelley program of purges, enemas and colonics, cleaning the liver,
kidneys and lungs, changing one's diet — shook up my body — literally. At times I
could feel my insides turn upside down. Often I  felt so "goopy" ill I  would complain,
"Ooh, how can Dr. Kelley do this to me?" When really what I  was saying was, "Ooh,
how did I  ever get this sick?" I  eliminated parasites and even live worms. Our
apartment acquired a putrid odor. But then I  started having days without passing gas!
I  also had days when I  felt as young as a 12 year old. Then I  would have some rotten
157
Winning The Cancer War
days of feeling just plain pucky.
I  started the Kelley program set up for me in February of 1972, I  think it's important
to note that the cancer I  had changed from cancer to a sebaceous cyst and then to a
mydiox or mucus cyst. When my body was ready, according to the Kelley Test, I  had
the mydiox cyst cut out by yet another surgeon, Dr. W., in 1974 — "The Blue Blob"
which one Dr. told me I  would have to learn to live with was removed. And, yes, my
face is no longer a mass of scars.
The family physician, Dr. H.H., who was preparing my husband to accept my
coming demise just couldn't believe the change in my face. When he saw the cancer
was no longer there, he said, "My diagnosis and the biopsies were wrong; we were
all mistaken. You never had cancer." I  just couldn't believe his attitude; I  can only
guess that because of his medical training he couldn't see beyond "The
Establishment." It is also my guess that if he were to recognize a non-toxic therapy, it
would negate his schooling and work and further, it would be mentally painful
because he has lost many patients from the dreaded disease of cancer.
Three years ago, in 1975, my husband and I  left New York City. We now reside in
Spokane, Washington. We left the tall canyons of the building in New York City for
the tall Evergreens of Washington State.
I'm lucky; I  no longer have to combat the pollution that exists in New York City. I
find living in a smaller city compatible to my health. I  enjoy the beauty of nature —
birds nesting in an Evergreen in our backyard, cats meowing, dogs barking, crickets
chirping. It's lots better music to my ear and soul than the honking of cabs and cars,
the sirens of police and fire trucks.
I  work full time. I  clean my own house, do the laundry, cooking and gardening. I
enjoy my grandchildren. I'm happy to be alive. I  am grateful and say thanks in my
prayers every day for Dr. and Mrs. W illiam Donald Kelley and the Kelley program.
Dr. Kelley: "Betty brings to mind one of the important features of the current cancer
situation; many people prefer to do nothing than to go through being tortured by
chemotherapy and


thing, try faking the anger. Raise your voice and look stern, but don’t
experience all of the physical and psychological pain that goes with
anger.
• Don’t try to delude yourself into believing that you enjoy
something that you find distasteful. You can dislike something and
still not have to be angry about it.
• Remind yourself at the moment of anger that everyone has a
right to be what he chooses and that your demanding that anyone
be different will simply prolong your anger. Work at allowing others
to choose just as you insist on your own right to do the same.
• Ask someone that you trust to help. Have them tell you when
they see your anger either verbally or with an agreed signal. When
you get the signal, think about what you’re doing and then try the
postponing strategy.
• Keep an anger journal, and record the exact time, place and in-
cident in which you chose to be angry. Be religious about the entries,
force yourself to record all angry behavior. You’ll soonFAREWELL TO ANGER  / 219find, if you are persistent, that the very act of having to write the
incident down will persuade you to choose anger less often.
• Announce after you have had an angry outburst that you’ve
just slipped and that one of your goals is to think differently so that
you don’t experience this anger. The verbal announcement will put
you in touch with what you’ve done, and will demonstrate that you
are truly working on yourself.
• Try being physically close to someone that you love at the mo-
ment of your anger. One way to neutralize your hostility is to hold
hands, despite your inclination not to, and keep holding hands until
you’ve expressed how you feel and dissipated your anger.
• Talk with those who are the most frequent recipients of your
anger at a time when you are not angry. Share with each other the
most anger-provoking activities in the other, and devise a way of
communicating your feelings without debilitating anger. Perhaps a
written note, or a messenger, or a cooling-off walk can be mutually
agreed upon, so that you don’t continue abusing each other with
senseless anger. After several cooling-off walks, you’ll begin to see
the folly of striking out.
• Defuse your anger for the first few seconds by labeling how you
feel, and how you believe your partner feels as well. The first ten
seconds are the most crucial. Once you’ve passed these, your anger
will often have subsided.
• Keep in mind all the things you believe will be met with disap-
proval by fifty percent of the folks, fifty percent of the time. Once
you expect others to disagree, you will not choose to feel angry. In-
stead, you’ll say to yourself that the world is straight since people
aren’t agreeing with everything I say, think, feel and do.
• Keep in mind that while the expression of anger is a healthy al-
ternative to storing it up, not having it at all is the healthiest choice
of all. Once you stop viewing anger as natural or only human, you’ll
have an internal rationale for going to work at eliminating it.220 / Your Erroneous Zones• Get rid of the expectations you have for others. When the expect-
ations go away, so will the anger.
• Remind yourself that children will always be active and loud
and getting angry about it won’t do any good. While you can help
children to make constructive choices in other areas, you will never
be able to alter their basic nature.
• Love yourself. If you do, you won’t ever burden yourself with
that self-destructive anger.
• In a traffic jam, time yourself. See how long you can go without
exploding. Work at the control aspect. Instead of hollering at a pas-
senger, ask him a civil question. Use the time creatively to write a
letter, or a song, or to devise ways out of the traffic jam, or relive the
most exciting sexual experience of your life, or better yet, plan to
improve on it.
• Instead of being an emotional slave to every frustrating circum-
stance, use the situation as a challenge to change it, and you’ll have
no present moment time for the anger.
Anger gets in the way. It is good for nothing. Like all erroneous
zones, anger is a means of using things outside yourself to explain
how you feel. Forget others. Make your own choices—and don’t let
them be angry ones.FAREWELL TO ANGER  / 221XII
PORTRAIT OF A PERSON
WHO HAS ELIMINATED ALL
ERRONEOUS ZONES
They are too busy being  to notice what their neighbors are doing.
The person who is devoid of all erroneous zone behavior may
seem to be a fictional character, but being free from self-destructive
behavior is not a mythological concept; rather it’s a real possibility.
Being fully functioning is within your grasp and complete present-
moment mental health can be a choice. This final chapter is devoted
to a description of how people who are free from all erroneous zone
thinking and behavior function. You will see the development of an
individual who is unlike the majority of people, and distinguishable
by an uncanny ability to be creatively alive at every moment.
People free from erroneous zones are different from run-of-the-
mill individuals. While they look very much like everyone else, they
possess distinct qualities, none of which are racial, socioeconomic,
or sexual. They do not fit neatly into any roles,
222job descriptions, geographic patterns, educational levels or financial
statistics. There is a different quality about them, but the difference
is not discernible in the traditional external factors by which we
generally classify people. They may be rich or poor, male or female,
black or white, living anywhere, and doing just about anything.
They are a varied group and yet they share a single trait, freedom
from erroneous zones. How can you tell when you run into someone
like this? Watch them! Listen to them! This is what you’ll discover.
First and most obviously, you see people who like virtually
everything about life—people who are comfortable doing just about
anything, and who waste no time in complaining, or wishing that
things were otherwise. They are enthusiastic about life, and they
want all that they can get out of it. They like picnics, movies, books,
sports, concerts, cities, farms, animals, mountains and just about
everything. They like life. When you are around people like this
you’ll note an absence of grumbling, moaning, or even passive
sighing. If it rains, they like it. If it’s hot, they dig it, rather than
complain about it. If they are in a traffic jam, or at a party, or all
alone, they simply deal with what is there. There is no pretending
to enjoy, but a sensible acceptance of what is, and an outlandish
ability to delight in that reality. Ask them what they don’t like and
they are hard pressed to come up with an honest answer. They don’t
have sense enough to come in out of the rain, because they see rain
as beautiful, thrilling and something to experience. They like it. Slush
doesn’t send them into a fury; they observe it, splash around in it,
and accept it as part of what it means to be alive. Do they like cats?
Yes. Bears? Yes. Worms? Yes. While such annoyances as disease,
droughts, mosquitoes, floods and the like are not warmly embraced
by such people, they never spend any of their present moments
complaining about them, or wishing that they weren’t so. If situations
need to be eradicated, they will work at eradicating them—and enjoy
the work. Try as you might, you’ll have a tough time coming up
with somethingPORTRAIT OF A PERSON WHO HAS ELIMINATED ALLthey’ll dislike doing. Truly they are likers of life, and they wallow
in all of it, getting out of it all that is possible for them.
Healthy fulfilled people are free from guilt and all the attendant
anxiety that goes with using any present moments in being immob-
ilized over past events. Certainly they can admit to making mistakes,
and they can vow to avoid repeating certain behavior that is coun-
terproductive in any way, but they do not waste their time wishing
that they hadn’t done something, or being upset because they dislike
something that they did at an earlier moment in life. Complete
freedom from guilt is one hallmark of healthy individuals. No
lamenting the past and no efforts to make others choose guilt by
asking such inane questions as, “Why didn’t you do it differently?”
or “Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?” They seem to recognize that
life lived through is just that, and no amount of feeling bad will alter
the past. They are free from guilt themselves without any effort;
because it is natural, they never help others to choose guilt. They
see that feeling bad in the present moment only reinforces a poor
self-image, and that learning from the past is far superior to remon-
strating about the past. You’ll never see them manipulating others
by telling them how bad they’ve been, nor will you be able to ma-
nipulate them with the same tactics. They won’t get angry at you,
they’ll simply ignore you. Rather than being upset with you, they’ll
go away, or change the subject. The strategies that work so beauti-
fully on most people fail with these healthy individuals


 was uneventful. In this case, urea
was definitely life-saving, because prior to its administration, the patient's
survival was unlikely. In many similar instances urea was found to be life-
saving" (Dr. M. Javid, University of Wisconsin).
The Physiological Answer to a Therapeutic Mystery
The medical findings on urine and urine constituents are overwhelming, and
yet it's difficult for most people to understand why our bodies excrete
elements that are so obviously valuable to human health and well-being.
The commonly-asked question,
"If your urine is so good for you, why does your body excrete it?" is best
answered by looking into how our kidneys function. As your blood moves
through the circulatory system, it flows through the kidneys at a rate of
about 1200 ml of blood per minute. Inside the kidneys, the blood is
continuously filtered through a huge system of minute tubules called
nephron which sift out excess water, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, salts, and
hundreds of other elements including vital antibodies, urea and uric acid.
A large portion of these key physiological elements are reabsorbed into the
bloodstream, but a certain amount of critical blood constituents are pooled
by the kidney into a liquid which doctors refer to as a "plasma ultrafiltrate"
(we call it urine). Much of this sterile, nutrient filled ultrafiltrate, or urine, is
reabsorbed and some remains in the kidney for a period of time and is
eventually released into a tube called the urethra which empties the urine
into the bladder where it is finally excreted. Now you're probably wondering
why the body excretes valuable nutrients, water, hormones, enzymes, etc.
that are critical to body functioning. Doesn't it make more sense to retain
these elements? If urine is a collection of such life-sustaining elements,
why does the body get rid of it?
The answer is that the kidneys excrete a portion of urine as a way of
removing certain key elements in your blood that are simply not needed at a
specific point in time. For instance, you've just been out jogging.
You come home and have one or two big glasses ofwater to drink.
47 Now at this point you've probably taken in more water than your body
actually needs. But not to worry --your kidneys will balance the amount of
water delivered into your bloodstream by your copious water drinking and
through the urine will excrete whatever amount of water from the blood that
isn't needed at the time.
Now water is certainly a life-sustaining element the body cannot do without.
So why is it excreted from the body? The answer is obvious.
There's too much water in your system and it needs to be excreted.
It's a physiological fact that in order for us to function normally, the amounts
or concentrations of every element in our blood must be carefully and strictly
controlled and this is done by the kidneys. Too much water in the blood is
fatal. Too much salt in the blood is deadly. As wonderful a nutrient as
vitamin C is, too high a concentration of it or any nutrient could kill you.
This is why the kidneys excrete valuable elements from the body -
too much of any good thing isn't good for your health.
The same is true of urea. People who have heard of uremic poisoning are
surprised when they read the medical research showing urea to be a
widely-used, FDA-approved medicine. But just like any other element in the
blood, urea only becomes dangerous to the body when the kidneys are
damaged or diseased and can't properly balance the amount of urea
(and all other substances) in the bloodstream.
Your kidneys aren't doing damage to your body by getting rid of particular
excess nutrients, they're just simply excreting the precise amount not
presently needed by your body at a given time.
And the same goes for practically every nutrient, enzyme, hormone,
antibody, etc. that are critical to your survival-- the kidneys keep what your
body needs at a certain time, and excretes what it isn't momentarily using
into your urine. And as medical scientists and doctors have discovered,
these urinary ingredients extracted from the blood can be therapeutic magic
bullets.
A Billion Dollar Industry
Despite what the public has been led to believe about urine, pharmaceutical
companies have grossed billions of dollars from the sale of drugs made from
urine constituents. Pergonal, a fertility drug made from human urine,
earned a reported $855 million in sales in 1992, and sales ($1400 a month per
patient) have increased yearly. Urokinase, a urine ingredient, is used in drug
form and sold as a "miracle blood clot dissolver" for unblocking coronary
arteries. Urea, medically proven to be one of the best moisturizers in the
world has been a boon to cosmetic companies who package it in expensive,
glamorized creams and lotions. Ever used Murine ear drops? They're made
from carbamide --another name for synthetic urea.
48 When you look at the real facts, the tragedy of the general disinformation
campaign on urine is surpassed only by the irony of our unwitting, and often
incredibly expensive purchases of what we all mistakenly but firmly believe
to be our bodies' "useless" and "offensive" waste-product, urine.
New Acceptance for a Misunderstood Therapy
Because of the nearly all-pervasive public misunderstanding about what
urine is and how it can be of immense medical benefit to us, the often
amazing anecdotal stories of healing and survival via urine have been
routinely ignored, ridiculed or have been written off as "old wives' tales."
But when people learn the real facts, these stories take on a significance that
not even doctors are now willing to ignore.
Since the first release of Your Own Perfect Medicine, rather than the doubt
and derision I expected to encounter, I was amazed at the tens of thousands
of people who have willingly accepted the information in the book. Many
people (including doctors) have come forward to tell me about their own
experiences or about news stories they've read that tell about using urine
medicinally and in survival situations:
Dr. David G. Williams, Alternative Newsletter, August, 1994:
"Several months ago I watched the movie Alive. It's the true story of a South
American soccer team whose airplane crashed in snow-capped mountains in
the dead of winter. The team was stranded for a couple months and survived
only by eating the flesh of those who had died either during the crash or later
from injuries. A portion of the movie focused on two individuals whose initial
wounds progressed into serious infections.
Knowing no way to treat these two, the survivors could only attempt to comfort
them. Eventually the infection led to death. Watching the intense suffering of
these people made me wonder if there was more that could have been done to
save them. I now feel it's very possible that these two people, and thousands of
others around the world would still be alive if they had been aware of the
therapeutic effects of urine.
With urine therapy, you get all the benefits of urea plus the additional
antibodies, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, hormones and more. "
Dr. William Hitt, Clinica Hitt, Mexico
January,1995
"Experience has shown that intramuscular injections of urine are the best
methods for handling a myriad of immunological illnesses including psoriasis,
basal call carcinoma, asthma and many other disorders. "
Reuter Report
49 August 14, 1990
"Four Sri Lankan commandos who drifted in a boat more than 1,000 miles to
Thailand after they had been ambushed and given up for dead were given a
rapturous welcome when they returned home. 'They managed to survive on the
boat by catching turtles and drinking urine,'a military officer said. "
Kyodo News Service, Tokyo
July 30, 1990
"A male cook was pulled out of the rubble of the Hyatt Hotel early Monday
morning, 14 days after a poweiful earthquake devastated the northern
Philippines, officials said. Dry, with only minor bruises on his body, he told
reporters he survived by drinking his own urine."
At a time when new viruses and bacteria are outwitting even the best efforts
of space-age medicine, and increasingly frequent natural disasters put basic
necessities out of reach, the facts about the one medical and survival tool that
the FDA can't regulate and that's always there when you need it most, may
well become the greatest survival lesson any of us will ever learn.
