 where glacial and alluvial (river-carried) soils have nourished the leg-131
Fruiticultureendary longevity of the people there.
According to E. B. Szekely in The Ecological Health Garden, the Essenes may have been the
first health-conscious people to pulverize rocks to add to their composts, gardens and
orchards around 2000 years ago.  Having little in the way of volcanic and glacial deposits or perhaps even silt-rich rivers in the Dead Sea region, they apparently found a way to create rock dust without the kind of machinery we now have.
After J. I. Rodale, founder of Organic Gardening magazine, visited Hunza in the 1940s, he
wrote The Healthy Hunzas, which included a chapter on rock powder.  He urged that we
learn from the Hunza’s great example and grind up the billions of tons of rock needed to remineralize the soils in our country.  Today, there is an abundance of rock powder which is available as a byproduct of the aggregate and stone industries.  For those of us who are backyard organic gardeners, it is most fortunate that more and more gardening out -
lets are carrying bagged rock powder for us to take home and add to our compost and orchards and gardens.
Here is how soil remineralization works.  Rock dust feeds the soil workers, i.e., the worms
and soil microbes, the essential minerals they require to build their protoplasm and enzymes, and the mineralized microbes are digested by the plant roots to nourish the plants.  If we desire mineral-rich living foods, then we need to ensure that we or those who grow our food have provided these soil workers their complete natural diet of or -
ganic compost or mulch and rock minerals.  If you can do this in your own garden and orchard and eat fresh, living, mineralized foods, you can give thanks because you are liv -
ing in Paradise!
Not quite?  The air is sick, the water is in trouble, the forests are on the way out, and
weather and climate are changing, you say?  Perhaps you are right and our little island of Paradise isn’t the Paradise we know the Earth is meant to be.  However, garden and or -
chard remineralization is something most of us can do, and this is a great way to reverse the degenerative spiral toward Paradise Lost and show our fellows a glimpse of how near Paradise Restored can really be.
Never underestimate the power of an enzyme!  Or the spirit of love when given to
Mother Nature and her human children.  A taste of real super-delicious living food from rich mineralized soil is one way to offer that Paradise glimpse, and there are few things 132
Fruiticulturemore inspiring and soul-nourishing than a garden and orchard in bloom and fruition.
Enhancing Agriculture The best source of soil minerals is the fine powder of common crushed gravel (mixed
rock).  In 1976 John Hamaker (1914-1994) spread gravel crusher screenings on part of his ten-acre farm in Michigan in an area of sparse rainfalls and dry summers, with no irriga -
tion.  The following year, his corn produced 65 bushels per acre. In comparison, neigh-boring farms yielded less than 25 bushes of corn per acre.
Don Weaver adding rock powder
to a new tree wellMoreover, independent analyses showed that Hamaker’s corn contained 28% more protein, 47% more calcium, 57% more phosphorus, 60% more magnesium and 90% more potassium than the same type of corn grown with chemical fertilizers nearby.
Over forty years ago, published studies
by the USDA showed that the applica-tion of cement kiln dust (a less satisfac -
tory source of minerals) also produced better crops, but the researchers did not follow up on this as they could not ascertain what it was in the dust that ef-fected such results.
Hamaker estimated that on fully remin-
eralized soil, American agriculture could grow four times as much food as is pos-sible now, or the same amount of food at about one-fourth the cost, sans pesti-cides or chemical fertilizers.

FruiticultureThe Most Ecologically Positive Diet:
How the Raw-Fruitarian Diet Can Regenerate the Earth
by Don Weaver
A serious condition of human-environment imbalance existed when Earth Day began in
1970, because most of the world’s four billion inhabitants lacked understanding of our interconnected planetary life-support systems.  Forty-eight years of ecological education later, we’ve learned much about the effect of our actions on the Biosphere, yet a major -
ity of now 7.3 billion continue living in ecologically unhealthful and destructive ways.  Is this rational?  Enlightened?  Natural to our species, Homo sapiens (which means “Wise man”)?  I say NO!
We’re now taking about 120% of what the biosphere produces annually.  Before we push
irreversibly beyond Earth’s ecological capacity to support us and 10-30 million other spe -
cies, let’s explore what we can do to transform practices and reverse trends now killing us and the Earth.
The moral, environmental, and health arguments for adopting vegetarian and vegan di -
ets have been convincingly made in books like John Robbins’ Diet For A New America,  and
Howard Lyman’s Mad Cowboy: Plain Truth From the Cattle Rancher Who Won’t Eat Meat,
and Dr. Will Tuttle’s The World Peace Diet.  Yet these valuable books have not explored how raw (uncooked) vegan diets can help propel a great leap forward for those seeking to minimize harm and maximize benefit to the Earth.  Books on raw and eco-conscious eating are proliferating, and many teach important and inspirational facts on the con -
nection between a raw diet and a healthier environment.  It would take a book to detail all the benefits, so let’s just briefly review the primary problems and the solutions avail -
able now via raw, organic, vegan diet choices.
1.  Soil Depletion/Malnutrition/FamineWe can view this as one mega-problem and probably most critical: the cumulative ef -
fects of 11,000 years of depletion of soil minerals and organic matter have been vastly 135
Fruiticultureaccelerated by the rapacious chemical-forcing and fertility-mining practices of “modern”
agribusiness.  A raw, organic vegan diet sets new standards for quality and the methods for its attainment!  If the majority of people adopted this diet, imagine the drastically in -
creased demand for high-quality organic produce!   When farmers remineralize soils with mixed rock powder and plant-derived compost, avoiding the byproducts of animal en-slavement and slaughterhouses, this lays the biological foundation for a truly regenera-tive, abundant, healthful and thriving veganiculture.  Visualize the beautiful diversity of gardens, farms, fruitful orchards, and forests rejuvenating so much land now in an ugly, depleted state.  This process of regeneration and re-fruition is happening now, insofar as we live as conscious producers and consumers who insist on enlightened care of our small planet–this rare shining jewel in the vast Universe.
2.  Human Health: Degeneration/Insanity/Violence/War/Extinction?The worsening cancer epidemic, with 1 of every 2.15 people in America expected to
harvest a crop of cancer in his/her lifetime, stands in stark contrast to Nature’s promise of perfect health.  This should inspire us to sow the healthiest seeds possible in every aspect of living.  Cancer tops a long list of interconnected physical, mental and spiritual diseases that plague humankind, revealing the extent of our degeneration.  Simply ob -
serving most people and the daily “news” also reveals this degeneration.  A raw, organic, vegan, fruitarian diet–most wisely as part of a complete system of “health by healthful living”—can supply all the essential nutrients as found in food grown from fertile, min-eralized soils, free of the toxic byproducts of animal-based chemical agribusiness and cooking.  It can virtually eliminate all disease—starting now—by removing the primary causes: body toxicity and nutritional deficiency.
3.  Deforestation/DesertificationThe primary causes of deforestation and desertification are land-clearing for cattle rais-
ing, use of wood and other biomass as cooking fuel, and the ongoing depletion and dy -
ing of soils.  The Fruitarian diet removes these causes and promotes reforestation and orchard plantings by Nature and “Wise man. ”  Remineralizing new orchards and forests is crucial, as is remineralizing the existing acidified, impoverished late-interglacial forests.  Evidence shows these forests are increasingly stressed and dying from insect and disease epidemics, climate extremes, and forest fires, thus transferring vast amounts of carbon 136
Fruiticulturefrom land to atmosphere...which brings on more climate extremes, more fires like those
which have been burning much of Southern California and the western US—in short, a cycle of degeneration calling for a generous response of regeneration.  See how generos -
ity and regeneration are related?
4.  Air Pollution/CO
2 Buildup/Climate Change/Famine
Soil remineralization and reforestation reverses the CO2 flow from soil and plant life!  A
Fruitarian diet hugely reduces energy expenditure and CO2 emission by eliminating de -
mand for cooked foods, which also means elimination of demand for most refrigeration,
packaging, and, when we create fertile abundance in biore

changes colour to a sandy brown. Its flesh
consists of dry, sticky, dark brown pulp
and inside the pulp are shiny black seeds.
It is this pulp that people eat to get all the
nutritional and health benefits of the
tamarind. The pulp has a very sour taste
while it is young. As it ripens it gets
sweeter, although the tamarind generally
has a sour, acidic taste which is a
favourite flavouring for a host of fish and
curry dishes.
The pulp is used for jams, syrups and
sweets. In the west, tamarind is used in the
preparation of Worcestershire and
barbecue sauces, and other meatcondiments.
Tamarind is a good source of antioxidants
that fight against cancer. It contains
carotenes, vitamins C and B, and
flavonoids. Tamarind lowers cholesterol
and promotes a healthy heart.
Tofu
Tofu is a low-fat, low-cholesterol, low-
calorie food made from steamed and
compressed soya beans. Not only is it a
great source of protein, which many
vegetarians lack, but it is also heart-
healthy and has been linked to a decreased
risk in cancer. In addition to being used asa meat alternative, tofu is served in a
number of spicy and ethnic dishes, which
were never intended to contain meat.
Many ethnic Indian dishes contain large
amounts of tofu, cooked and spiced in
different ways.
Tofu is rich in both high quality protein
and B vitamins making it an excellent
substitute for meat in many vegetarian
recipes. It contains a lot of calcium, which
originates from the coagulant (nigari).
When making tofu, the soya proteins are
precipitated with calcium, providing a
ready source of calcium, which
contributes to the prevention of
osteoporosis.An additional benefit is that tofu is
extremely easy to digest. This is because
the soya bean’s fibre is removed during
the manufacturing process. As with most
other soya foods, tofu reduces heart
disease by lowering the level of LDL
(‘bad’) cholesterol and, as a result,
maintaining the level of good cholesterol
(HDL).
Tofu is rich in isoflavones. During the
manufacture of tofu, the soya isoflavones,
genistein and daidzein, remain bound to
the soya protein. Firm tofu contains about
35 mg of isoflavones per 100g.
Isoflavones reduce the risk of
osteoporosis, lower rates of breast and
prostate cancers, and reduce menopausalsymptoms including mood swings and hot
flushes.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes, which are actually a fruit and
not a vegetable, are loaded with all kinds
of health benefits for the body. They are in
fact a highly-versatile health product and,
due to their equally versatile preparation
options, there’s really no reason to neglect
them as part of a healthy diet.
One of the best-known benefits of the
tomato is its lycopene content. Lycopene
is a vital antioxidant that helps in the fight
against cancerous cell formation as wellas other types of health complications and
diseases. Free radicals in the body are
neutralized by the high levels of lycopene,
and the tomato is so amply loaded with
this vital antioxidant from which it
actually derives its rich redness.
Lycopene is not produced within the
human body so we require sources of
lycopene in order to make use of this
powerful antioxidant. While other fruits
and vegetables contain necessary health
ingredients, none have the tomato’s high
concentration of lycopene. Cancers such
as prostate, cervical, colon, rectal, and
cancers of the stomach, mouth, pharynx
and oesophagus have all been proven to
be staved off by high levels of lycopene.Researchers introduced lycopene into pre-
existing cancer cell cultures and it
prevented the continued growth of these
cultures. This is pretty powerful evidence
that the health-benefits of eating tomatoes
are really quite phenomenal.
When choosing your tomatoes, be sure to
pick those with the most brilliant shades
of red, which indicate the highest amounts
of beta-carotene and lycopene. Though
raw tomatoes are very good for you,
cooking them releases even more benefits.
Lycopene is located in the cell wall of the
tomato so by cooking in a little olive oil
this healing compound is more fully
released, allowing your body to absorb it
better. Tomatoes do not lose any of theirnutritional value in high-heat processing,
making canned tomatoes and tomato sauce
just as viable and beneficial as fresh
tomatoes.
Turkey
Turkey is a very good source of protein,
selenium, niacin, vitamins B6 and B12,
zinc and the amino acid tryptophan. The
skinless white meat is an excellent
high-
protein
, low-fat food. It also has less
saturated fat, less total fat and less
cholesterol than chicken, pork or beef.
The health benefits of turkey include
reducing LDL (‘bad’) cholesterol,
mood-enhancing properties, helping to prevent
cancer, boosting testosterone and the
immune system. The amino acid
tryptophan is needed for T cells, a type of
immune system cell that kills cancer cells.
T cells activated in the absence of free
tryptophan become susceptible to death
via apoptosis. Neurotransmitters are made
from amino acids, and the neurotransmitter
serotonin is made from tryptophan.
Serotonin helps to improve mood and
eating food such as turkey can help
improve your mood.
Turkey contains selenium, which plays an
essential role in helping to eliminate
cancer-friendly free radicals in the body.
It is a good source of vitamins B3 and B6.Vitamin B3 helps lower blood
cholesterol, is essential for healthy skin
and helps improve brain function. Vitamin
B6 helps in maintaining muscle tone, aids
in the production of anti-bodies and red
blood cells and is essential for normal
growth. A serving of turkey meat has 36
percent of the daily allowance of vitamin
B3 and 27 percent of your recommended
daily intake of vitamin B6. Without the
skin turkey is naturally low in fat; it only
contains 1g of fat per 28g of flesh.
Walnuts
Walnuts are one of the best plant sources
of protein. They are rich in fibre, Bvitamins, magnesium and antioxidants
such as vitamin E. Nuts in general are also
high in plant sterols and fat, but mostly
monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats
(omega-3 fatty acids – the good fats) that
have been shown to lower LDL (‘bad’)
cholesterol. Walnuts, in particular, have
significantly higher amounts of omega-3
fatty acids as compared to other nuts.
Walnuts have also been shown to aid in
lowering the C-reactive protein (CRP)
level in the blood. CRP was recently
recognized as an independent marker and
predictor of heart disease. They are a very
good source of manganese and copper,
two minerals that are essential co-factors
in a number of enzymes important inantioxidant defences. Walnuts also contain
an antioxidant compound called ellagic
acid, which not only helps protect healthy
cells from free radical damage but also
helps detoxify potential cancer-causing
substances helping to prevent cancer cells
from replicating.
Yams
Yams provide a very good source of
potassium and fibre. They also offer a
good source of vitamins B1, B6 and C,
manganese and carbohydrates. Yams
contain a unique phytoestrogen called
diosgenin that is used as a starting
material for the synthesis of the hormonesoestrogen and progesterone which is
created by drug manufacturers. Yams are a
superfood, especially as they possess
phytoestrogen activity. They contain large
amounts of vitamin B6, which is required
by the liver, and also contain folic acid
and other B vitamins, which help to
detoxify excess oestrogen.
Yams’ complex carbohydrates and fibre
deliver the goods, gradually, slowing the
rate at which their sugars are released and
absorbed into the bloodstream. In
addition, because they are rich in fibre,
yams fill you up without filling out your
waistline. They are a good source of
manganese, a trace mineral that helps with
carbohydrate metabolism and a co-factorin a number of enzymes important in
energy production and antioxidant
defences.
Yams are a good source of potassium and
vitamin B6, which are needed by the body
to help control blood pressure and to
break down homocysteine which can
directly damage blood vessel walls. Since
high homocysteine levels are significantly
associated with increased risk of heart
attack and stroke, having a good supply of
vitamin B6 on hand makes a great deal of
sense.
Yellow Split PeasOf all legumes, yellow split peas have the
most genistein, an isoflavone that research
shows may help reduce your chances of
heart disease. According to dietician
Laurie Mozian, they provide nearly twice
as much genistein as soya beans


 for a pear tree to bear pears, an
apple tree to bear apples, and for man to mold the circumstances of his
life in harmony with his inner nature.
“I am the vine, ye are the branches.” (John 15:5). A branch has no life
save it be rooted in the vine. All I need do to change the fruit is to change
the vine.
You have no life in my world save that I am conscious of you. You are
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenrooted in me and, like fruit, you bear witness of the vine that I am. There
is no reality in the world other than your consciousness. Although you
may now seem to be what you do not want to be, all you need do to
change it, and to prove the change by circumstances in your world, is to
quietly assume that you are that which you now want to be, and in a way
you do not know you will become it.
There is no other way to change this world. “I am the way.” My I Amness,
my consciousness is the way by which I change my world. As I change my
concept of self, I change my world. When men and women help or hinder
us, they only play the part that we, by our concept of self, wrote for
them, and they play it automatically. They must play the parts they are
playing because we are what we are.
You will change the world only when you become the embodiment of that
which you want the world to be. You have but one gift in this world that is
truly yours to give and that is yourself. Unless you yourself are that which
you want the world to be, you will never see it in this world. “Except ye
believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.” (John 8:24).
Do you know that no two in this room live in the same world? We are go -
ing home to different worlds tonight. We close our doors on entirely differ -
ent worlds. We rise tomorrow and go to work, where we meet each other
and meet others, but we live in different mental worlds, different physical
worlds.
I can only give what I am, I have no other gift to give. If I want the world
to be perfect, and who does not, I have failed only because I did not know
that I could never see it perfect until I myself become perfect. If I am not
perfect I cannot see perfection, bu the day that I become it, I beautify my
world because I see it through my own eyes. “Unto the pure all things are
pure.” (Titus 1:15).
No two here can tell me that you have heard the same message any one
night. The one thing that you must do is hear what I say through that
which you are. It must be filtered through your prejudices, your supersti -
tions, and your concept of self. Whatever you are, it must come through
that, and be colored by what you are.
If you are disturbed you would like me to be something other than what I
appear to be, then you must be that which you want me to be. We must
become the thing that we want others to be or we will never see them be
it.
Your consciousness, my consciousness, is the only true foundation in the
world. This is that which is called Peter in the Bible, not a man, this faith -
fulness that cannot turn to anyone, that cannot be flattered when you are
More Free Books Law of Attraction Haventold by men you are John come again. That is very flattering to be told
you are John the Baptist come again, or the great prophet Elias, or
Jeremiah.
Then I deafen my ears to this very flattering little bit of news men would
give me and I ask myself, “But honestly who am I?”
If I can deny the limitations of my birth, my environment, and the belief
that I am but an extension of my family tree, and feel within myself that I
am Christ, and sustain this assumption until it takes a central place and
forms the habitual center of my energy, I will do the works attributed to
Jesus. Without thought or effort I will mold a world in harmony with that
perfection which I have assumed and feel springing within me.
When I open the eyes of the blind, unstop the ears of the deaf, give joy
for mourning and beauty for ashes, then and only then, have I truly es -
tablished this vine deep within. That is what I would automatically do
were I truly conscious of being Christ. It is said of this presence, He
proved that He was Christ by His works.
Our ordinary alterations of consciousness, as we pass from one state to
another, are not transformations, because each of them is so rapidly suc -
ceeded by another in the reverse direction; but whenever our assumption
grows so stable as to definitely expel its rivals, then that central habitual
concept defines our character and is a true transformation.
Jesus, or enlightened reason, saw nothing unclean in the woman taken in
adultery. He said to her, “Hath no man condemned thee?” (John 8:10).
“She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, neither do I condemn
thee; go, and sin no more.” (John 8:11).
No matter what is brought before the presence of beauty, it sees only
beauty. Jesus was so completely identified with the lovely that He was in -
capable of seeing the unlovely.
When you and I really become conscious of being Christ, we too will
straighten the arms of the withered, and resurrect the dead hopes of
men. We will do all the things that we could not do when we felt ourselves
limited by our family tree. It is a bold step and should not be taken lightly,
because to do it is to die. John, the man of three dimensions is beheaded,
or loses his three-dimensional focus that Jesus, the fourth-dimensional
self may live.
Any enlargement of our concept of self involves a somewhat painful part -
ing with strongly rooted hereditary conceptions. The ligaments are strong
that hold us in the womb of conventional limitations. All that you formerly
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenbelieved, you no longer believe. You know now that there is no power out -
side of your own consciousness. Therefore you cannot turn to anyone out -
side of self.
You have no ears for the suggestion that something else has power in it.
You know the only reality is God, and God is your own consciousness.
There is no other God. Therefore on this rock you build the everlasting
church and boldly assume you are this Divine Being, self-begotten be -
cause you dared to appropriate that which was not given to you in your
cradle, a concept of self not formed in your mother's womb, a concept of
self conceived outside of the offices of man.
The story is beautifully told us in the Bible using the two sons of Abra -
ham: one blessed, Isaac, born outside of the offices of man and the other,
Ishmael, born in bondage.
Sarah was much too old to beget a child, so her husband Abraham went
in unto the bond servant Hagar, the pilgrim, and she conceived of the old
man and bore him a son called Ishmael. Ishmael's hand was against ev -
ery man and every man's hand against him.
Every child born of woman is born into bondage, born into all that his en -
vironment represents, regardless of whether it be the throne of England,
the White House, or any great place in the world. Every child born of
woman is personified as this Ishmael, the child of Hagar.
But asleep in every child is the blessed Isaac, who is born outside of the
offices of man, and is born through faith alone. This second child has not
earthly father. He is self-begotten.
What is the second birth? I find myself man, I cannot go back into my
mother's womb, and yet I must be born a second time. “Except a man be
born again he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3).
I quietly appropriate that which no man can give me, no woman can give
me. I dare to assume that I am God. This must be of faith, this must be
of promise. Then I become the blessed, I become Isaac.
As I begin to do the  things that only this presence could  do, I know  that I
am born out of the  limitations of Ishmael, and  I have  become  heir to
the kingdom. Ishmael could  not  inherit anything, although his father  was
Abraham, or God. Ishmael did  not have  both parents of the  godly; his
mother  was Hagar the  bondwoman, and  so he  could  not partake of his fa -
ther's estate.
You are Abraham and  Sarah, and  contained  within your own conscious -
ness there  is one   waiting  for recognition. In the  Old Testament it is called
More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenIsaac, and  in the  New Testament  it is called  Jesus, and  it is born without
the aid of man. No man can tell you  that you  are Christ Jesus, no man
can tell you  and convince you  that  you are God. You  must toy with
the idea and  wonder  what it would

	congesting	the
bile	ducts	of	the	liver.	It	is	important	to	realize	that	every	person	who	has	gallstones	in	the
gallbladder	has	multiple	times	as	many	stones	in	the	liver.	The	surgical	removal	of	the
gallbladder	or	its	stones	does
not
	substantially	increase	bile	flow,	because	the	stones	that
are	stuck	in	the	liver	bile	ducts	continue	to	prevent	proper	bile	secretion.

Even	in	the	case	of	surgical	removal	of	the	gallbladder,	the	situation	remains	highly
problematic	for	the	body.	Since	the	pumping	device	for	bile	(the	gallbladder)	is	now	gone,
the	small	amount	of	bile	that	the	liver	is	able	to	squirt	out	through	its	congested	bile	ducts
comes	forth	merely	in	dribbles.	Both	insufficient	bile	secretion	and	the	uncontrolled	flow
of	bile	into	the	small	intestine	continue	to	cause	major	problems	with	the	digestion	and
absorption	of	food,	particularly	if	it	contains	fats.	The	result	is	an	ever-increasing	amount
of	toxic	waste	that	accumulates	in	the	intestinal	tract	and	lymphatic	system.	The	restricted
ability	to	digest	and	assimilate	fats	stimulates	the	liver	cells	to	increase	production	of
cholesterol.	The	side	effect	arising	from	this	emergency	maneuver	of	the	body	is	the
generation	of	more	gallstones	in	the	liver	bile	ducts.	Therefore,	removing	the	gallbladder
is	not	a	solution	to	digestive	problems	but,	rather,	a	cause	of	further	and	more	serious
complications	in	the	body,	such	as	cancer	and	heart	disease.	Balanced	bile	secretion,	on
the	other	hand,	protects	the	body	against	most	diseases.

Any	treatment	of	the	gallbladder,	however	advanced	and	sophisticated	it	may	be,	can
only	be	considered	a	drop	in	the	ocean	of	cure	because	it	does	not	remove	the	main
problem,	which	is	the	hundreds	or	thousands	of	gallstones	blocking	the	bile	ducts	of	the
liver.

Conventional	medicine	offers	three	main	approaches	to	treating	gallstones:

Dissolving	Gallstones

For	patients	with	mild,	infrequent	symptoms,	or	those	who	do	not	want	surgery,	various
drugs	are	available	that	claim	to	dissolve	gallstones.	On	the	surface,	it	seems	like	a	good
idea	to	gradually	dissolve	gallstones	through	drugs	that	contain	bile	salts	(oral	dissolution
therapy).	Given	in	pill	form	over	a	period	of	twelve	months,	these	drugs	may	achieve	adecrease	in	cholesterol	levels	in	the	bile.	But	there	is	no	guarantee	of	this.	According	to
the
British	Medical	Journal,
	the	use	of	bile	salts	has	a	failure	rate	as	high	as	50	percent.	In
addition,	many	“successful”	patients	simply	do	not	experience	complete	gallstone
dissolution	in	their	gallbladder.	For	the	few	patients	who	do,	the	recurrence	rate	can	also
be	as	high	as	50	percent.	Other	dissolving	agents,	such	as
methyl	tert-butyl	ether,
	have	no
advantage	over	bile	salts.	Unsuccessful	treatment	may	lead	to	surgery.

More	recently,	solvents	have	been	directly	instilled	into	the	gallbladder	by	means	of	a
small	catheter	placed	in	the	skin.	This	approach	has	been	shown	to	be	more	effective	in
dissolving	cholesterol	stones,	but	it	still	fails	to	resolve	the	major	issue—the	accumulation
of	gallstones	in	the	liver.	Insufficient	scientific	research	exists	to	determine	what	side
effects	accompany	this	method	of	treatment.

Shock	Waves

Another	alternative	method	to	surgery	is
lithotripsy,
	a	technique	by	which	the	gallstones
are	literally	pounded	into	submission	by	a	series	of	sound	waves.	According	to	a	1993
report	by	the	medical	journal
Lancet,
	this	therapy	has	numerous	setbacks	because	it	can
result	in	kidney	damage	and	raise	blood	pressure—risks	that	have	remained	unchanged
until	today.	Both	these	side	effects	can	lead	to	an	increase	in	the	number	of	gallstones	in
the	liver	(see	“
Disorders	of	the	Circulatory	System
”	and	“
Disorders	of	the	Urinary
System
”	in	Chapter	1).

In	addition,	this	procedure,	in	which	gallstones	are	fragmented	through	shock	waves,
leaves	toxic	gallstone	residue	behind.	This	residue	can	quickly	become	a	breeding	place
for	harmful	bacteria	and	parasites	and,	therefore,	infections	in	the	body.	Recent	studies
have	confirmed	that	most	patients	undergoing	this	kind	of	treatment	experience	internal
bleeding,	ranging	from	a	small	hemorrhage	to	major	blood	loss	that	requires	blood
transfusion.	This	treatment	also	has	a	high	stone-recurrence	rate.

Surgery

In	1996,	some	770,000	Americans	had	their	gallbladder	removed	through	surgical
intervention.	Since	then,	the	number	has	steadily	increased.	A	gallbladder	operation	costs
between	$8,000	and	$10,000	and	takes	about	thirty	to	forty-five	minutes	with
laproscopy
.While	open	gallbladder	surgery—
cholecystectomy
—is	still	commonly	used	for	patients
with	frequent	or	severe	pain,	or	with	a	history	of	acute
cholecystitis,
	laparoscopic
cholecystectomy	has	now	become	the	preferred	surgical	technique.	With	traditional
surgery,	the	gallbladder	is	removed	through	an	open	technique	requiring	a	standard	skin
incision	and	general	anesthesia.	During	laparoscopic	cholecystectomy,	also	called	a
“keyhole	operation,”	the	stone-filled	gallbladder	is	literally	pulled	through	a	small	incision
in	the	abdomen.	Sometimes,	open	cholecystectomy	is	required	if	the	keyhole	operation
fails.

With	a	keyhole	operation,	patients	seem	to	recover	much	faster	and	often	leave	the
hospital	and	return	to	regular	activity	within	days.	However,	since	its	introduction,	this
“
Band-Aid”	approach	to	treating	gallbladder	disease	has	prompted	many	patients	to	have
a	gallbladder	operation	unnecessarily;	that	is,	to	rid	them	of	some	persistent	symptoms	of
discomfort.

Apart	from	having	had	no	effect	on	the	overall	mortality	rate	from	gallbladder	diseases,
laparoscopic	surgery	does	have	its	risks.	As	many	as	10	percent	of	patients	coming	out	of
surgery	have	stones	remaining	in	the	bile	ducts,	according	to	the	U.S.	National	Institute	of
Health.	(
Note:
	The	bile	ducts	referred	to	here	are	not	liver	bile	ducts).	According	to	Mayo
Health	Oasis,	other	hazards	include	lost	gallstones	in	the	peritoneal	cavity,	abdominal
adhesion,	and	possibly	infective
endocarditis
.	Moreover,	according	to	the
New	England
Journal	of	Medicine,
	the	procedure	can	cause	hemorrhage,	inflammation	of	the	pancreas
(a	potentially	fatal	condition),	and	perforation	of	the	duodenal	wall.	There	may	also	be
injury	and	obstruction	of	bile	ducts	and	the	leakage	of	bile	into	the	abdomen,	increasing
the	patient’s	chance	of	suffering	a	potentially	serious	infection.	About	1	percent	of	patients
are	at	risk	of	dying	from	this	kind	of	operation.

Bile-duct	injuries	have


 called by the selective
draft during World War II were rejected as physically defective. Those
young men had been starved all their lives. A person can starve on a
full stomach when the vitamins and minerals which his body needs are
not in the food he eats. Hence, tooth decay, tuberculosis, arthritis, heart disease and about 150 other common maladies may be traced to
vitamin and mineral deficiencies in the patient's diet.
Food therapy is still an infant branch of the healing art. I say that
it deserves more attention from both the medical profession and the
public than it has received up to now. Food therapy, indeed, promises
a new era for healing and when that comes, great credit will be due pioneers in the field, like Dr. Pri ce. That practitioner demonstrated
how dentistry could use food therapy to prevent, and also to help
repair, tooth decay. During my 30 year study of dental conditions in
Deaf Smith County, I found evidence a plenty to that effect. Note
what Dr. Edward Taylor says in his report:
"People moving here (into Deaf Smith County with the usual
number of cavities... ceased to develop further cavities... and in
teeth brought there five years previously... the cavities had acquired
hard-glazed surfaces." All decay did not glaze over because the foods
grown here were not consistently used. What forces had stopped those
teeth from decaying further and star ted to repair th e damage already
done? The same, I say, that had mended Johnnie's broken bone and Freddie's heart lesions from Dr. Pric e's direction. Both decayed teeth
and ailing tissue will heal when the cause of the trouble is removed.
That cause is malnutrition... the lack of properly balanced diet.
Invariably, there is talk at our dental conventions about
"educating the laity" in mouth care. I felt like getting up and asserting: Better educate the profession first.
It seems to me that dentists generally are still very much in the
dark as to the cause of tooth decay, toothache, pyorrhea and other
diseased conditions which they are called upon to treat. There is a
difference between treatment and cure, but prevention is the ideal way.
To be sure, when it comes to repairs on decayed teeth or
replacing teeth with bridgework and plates, our American dentists
rank with the world's best.
But our dental theories concerning the causes and prevention of
tooth decay simply will not hold water. For example, a writer in the Journal of the American Dental Association recently asserted :
"I would not be challenged were I to say that tooth decay were
the result of bacterial invasion." Well, I challenge him. I say that "bacterial invasion" is invariably
and quickly overcome by the normal resistance of a healthy mouth.
Those bugs, the Lacto bacillus acidophilus, that the dental scientists
charge with causing a tooth to decay, are found in everybody's
mouths; but, when food is correct the tissues are immuned.
Why is it, then, that the rate of tooth decay varies from zero (as
in certain Deaf Smith County familie s) to above 95 per cent? Not the
bacteria count in the patient's mouth, but the food he has lived upon
makes the difference. The mouth must be correct when the food is
correct. When the mouth is correct, the bacteria do no damage.

CHAPTER 33.

IN WHICH I GO TO THE HOSPITAL
 Some years ago I went to Baylor Hospital in Dallas for an
operation to remedy a condition which had arisen from my advanced
years, an enlarged prostate gland. Before the operation the hospital
staff went over me with a fine tooth comb. Excepting that one difficulty, the doctors found that my bodily organs were sound and
were functioning surprisingly well fo r a man in his early 80s. They
said, in effect, that I possessed a young body.
After the operation I had to lie still for a day or two, I had
temporarily acquired a tube—one end in my bladder and the other end
in a bottle under my bed. When the tube came out, I felt like I was
plenty able to go home. Every day I would walk down the hall to the
scales and weigh. When I found my self gaining in weight, that was
lots of fun. To begin with I would not eat what was brought me. The
hospital food was nutritious enough, but not healing. There was not a
vitamin or healing mineral in th e whole platter-full. Then, the
nutritionist asked me what I wanted for supper. I answered:
"I do not know what you have, but bring me anything in the
pantry that has not been changed from its natural state. I will eat it, be happy and say nothing about it."
As the nurse had never heard of 'natural food,' I hit her on the
blind side. She did not understand me and so my diet was not
decidedly improved. It so happened that Grady Wilson of Hereford
was loafing in the hall. His wife was a patient in the hospital. I gave
him a list to buy at the food store, including celery, nuts, dates, prunes,
other dried and fresh fruit. To the dietitian's horror, I lived on that. The
funny part was, I kept gaining we ight. However, about that time the
food from the kitchen began improving until I could ask for nothing
better.
Sometime later my friend, Bill Hunter, was a patient at Baylor.
The dietitian told him that Dr. Heard was the toughest patient the
hospital ever had. Really I did no t mind eating what was brought me,
but I wanted to call that young lady's attention to the fact that all she
knew about was conventional diet. Obviously, she did not know that
the human organism would heal more rapidly on raw foods. The explanation is that in raw foods, the healing vitamins have not been killed by heat. When I visited California in the spring of 1950, I called at Dr. F.
M. Pottenger's laboratory, under management of the University of
Southern California. The caretaker, a student, told me about an
experiment with cats. One lot, fed on cooked beef and pasteurized
milk, had no offspring. It took raw meat and raw milk to make those
cats reproduce their kind.
Now, I had been living on Nature's foods, unprocessed and
unrefined for the most part, though not exclusively, for the whole 20
years since I took that two week's fast for a clean-out, under the
direction of Naturopath H. A. Brown of Canyon, Texas. It was then
and there I quit being an invalid and started being a real person. Since
I began living on a natural diet, I observed that any small injury I
received, a bruise or cut, would heal up promptly without the use of iodine, salve or liniment. I recall a typical incident while I was helping
some Camp Fire Girls in an outing in the mountains, gathering some
wood to build a fire. I scraped a wide swath of skin off my hand.
"0-o-o-h, doctor, you're hurt bad," the girls cried. "You must go
to the nurse cabin as fast as you can and get iodine and adhesive tape
put on before you get infection."
The girls wisely had been taught to treat a minor hurt like that.
They should observe the rule for themselves, I told them; but for me,
no antiseptic was necessary. Because I had lived on natural foods,
with plenty of vitamins in them, my bloodstream was well supplied
with germ-killers more potent than iodine, the sulfa drugs or
penicillin. So that little scratch would heal itself in a jiffy. The following day I could prove to the girls I was right.
Ever since I had learned how to nourish them, those alert
guardians in my bloodstream, the phagocytes, had protected me
against any sort of disease germ which threatened me. My well-
nourished body had automatically corrected every maladjustment of cells and tissues except enlarged prostate. It is my conviction that a completely balanced diet kept up for a lifetime, would build effective
bulwarks against tuberculosis or cancer.
Consequently, as I lay upon my bed at Baylor Hospital and
thought about my 500 fellow patients, I could realize that perhaps nine
out of 10 were there needlessly. A little applied food science—I mean a well balanced diet—would have kept them all well and strong.

PART III.

CONCLUSIONS: MY PHILOSOPHY

CHAPTER 34.

I ARRIVE AT AN IMPORTANT
MILESTONE

On the day that I marked up my 70th anniversary, October 21,
1937, I wrote a letter to my son, George, Jr., and his wife, Margaret, in which I said that this supposed end to my days, by the Psalmist's measure, was to me only the end of the first relay in life's race. I was
beginning the second relay with enthusiasm and high hopes. I had received my second wind.
The letter said, in part: "I have this day reached my alloted three-score and ten years. It
must have been a mind of small receptivity that pronounced this
allotment... Had that mind been big enough to teach mankind the
positive, the constructive side


A: Actually, it is a common experience of mine that my patients after recovering their own health ask that question.
The answer is yes, I have put many pets on a healthy diet (for the species), with the result that most have recovered easily from many types
of diseases. Pets often are given very deficient and/or toxic (especially carb -overloaded) diets, which after a certain amount of time will
cause chronic disease, in the end often resulting in cancer. Adding to the toxicity are medications an d vaccinations. Remember that the
same natural laws that cause health or disease in humans, are in effect for animals as well.
What I do is give advice on what you must do, for your animal to get well in shortest possible time.

Here is an excerpt from the first pages in “The Laws of Life” by Stanley S. Bass:
LAWS OF LIFE

You are free to choose your own way of life, but you are not free to choose the results.

Preface
As a preface to this work, I can think of no more suitable approach than to quote the timeless teaching of Dr.     Herbert M.
Shelton , one of the most prolific of all health educators in this century. His brilliant writings display a depth of understanding
unmatched by any other modern health teacher. The following is a chapter entitled "Living To Live," from his book, "Getting
Well," which was published in 1946 and recently appeared in the November/December 1984 issue of  "Vegetarian Health
Science."

Herbert M. Shelton:
'In those ancient Hebrew writings that are collectively known to us as the Old Testament there is expressed a
concep tion of the way in which punishment for "sin" is brought about, that I think we would do well to understand.
This punishment is described as  "even the fruit of their own thoughts."
…….
Every act and every emotion has its consequence. The act and the conse quence are inseparable - as inseparable
as light and shadow. It is, therefore, not possible to do a thing without setting in motion the necessary train of
consequences - of reactions.
……..
There is no "beyond good and evil." Evil is that which has harmful consequences. Good is that which has helpful
consequences. Evil is that which detracts from the powers of life and tends towards death. Good is that which
enhances the powers of life and avails towards greater life. Here is the measure of right and wrong. Here is the
criterion by which any mode of living is to be judged.

That is right living which produces and maintains health and happiness and increases life. That is wrong living,
which impairs health, produces misery and decreases life.
To be more specif ic, right living is that living which conforms in all of its details with the laws of life; wrong living is
that living, that in part or much of its details is in conflict with these laws.

The laws of life are not something imposed upon the organization of man. They are imbedded in the very structure
of our being, in our tissues, our nerve and muscle cells, our bloodstream, into the total organism. They are the way
we are constituted to live. If we live according to them, we live; if we do not live accord ing to them, we don't truly
live. Since these laws are fundamental parts of us, we cannot revolt against them without revolting against
ourselves. They are the fountain of life and when we flout them we cease to drink at that fountain.

Natural law represe nts the way things are made to work. If you try to work some other way, you work your own
ruin. Wrong living is an effort to live against the very nature of things; it is an endeavor to flout the very constitution
of being, to divorce oneself from that fundament upon which life rests, and it ends only in destruction. The wrong
liver renders himself unfit to survive. He breaks down, disintegrates, perishes. He refuses to observe the laws of
life, so he rots and is no more.

We cannot run away from the law s of being without running away from ourselves. There simply is no escape,
except in death.

The sum -total of the modern revolt against nature is this: We who have decided we cannot and will not live with
nature soon come to find that we cannot live with o urselves. The man who flouts the laws of nature is not merely a
problem to those around him -- he is a problem to himself.”  ……..        (Herbert M. Shelton)
(continued in Stanley S. Bass: “The Laws of Life”)

Note:  A Natural Hygiene doctor is typically a teacher, teaching you to how to treat your body in the best way for
optimal  performance. So you can take care of yourself in the future, and will have minimal health -care costs. And
peace of mind = not being afraid to “catch” this or that, and not being afraid of cancer and other degenerative
diseases.

HEALTH PROBLEMS   THROUGH
DETOXICATION, JUICE PROGRAMS AND RAW FOOD
INTRODUCTION
It is with great anticipation and hope that I have gathered together, from more than 40 years of experience, a collection of
some of the most remarkable and inspiring cases of recoveries from a large group of diseases, many of which were
classified as “incurable”. These people, through the use of raw juice programs, have either completely restored their health
or greatly improved.
While in America, water fasting has been popular, in Europe the use of raw vegetable juices has been preferred and used
in many large medically supervised institutions, While water-fasting requires mostly bed rest, the use of juices allows one to
continue working, since the use of juices provides some nutrition interspersed with detoxication, the removal of toxic
materials from the body and the simultaneous replacement of minerals, vitamins, enzymes, a limited amount of
carbohydrates, proteins, fats, etc.
There is sufficient energy present in most cases and frequently more, since the body is spared from the use of enormous
amounts of energy required by the digestive processes. This


 opposite selective pressures could do the reverse.
Conceivably, we could "tame" HIV, encouraging it to evolve toward comparative harmlessness. Itwas already known that preventive measures such as safe sex, fewer partners, clean needles, and soforth could curb the spread of the disease. But Ewald pointed out early on that social modificationwas a far more potent weapon than anyone realized. Once HIV was cut off from easy access to newhosts, milder strains would flourish -- ones that the host could tolerate for longer and longerperiods. Indeed, Ewald argues, given limited public-health budgets, it might make sense to putmore money into transmission-prevention programs and less into the search for vaccines. (He alsohas strong opinions about how drugs should be used to treat AIDS. He asserts that every time weuse an antiviral drug like AZT, we produce an array of AZT-resistant HIVs in the population; if viralevolution is taken into account, antiviral drugs can be used more judiciously.)
Ewald's theories tilt him decidedly toward the optimistic camp. Even in the absence of a vaccine the
AIDS epidemic will not inevitably worsen; it can be curbed without reducing transmission to zero.A natural experiment now occurring in Japan, he says, could be a test case for his theories. In theearly 1990s highly virulent strains of HIV from Thailand took root in Japan, but Ewald predicts thatlow rates of sexual transmission in that country -- due to widespread condom use and other factors-- will act as a selective pressure on these strains so that they evolve toward mildness. If this is true,the trend should become evident over the next ten years.
Like HIV, many other viruses have an indolent course, with a long latency between infection and
the development of symptoms. Herpes zoster, the agent of chicken pox, lingers in the body forever,capable of erupting as painful shingles decades later. There are also so-called hit-and-run infections,in which a pathogen or its products disrupt the body's immunological surveillance system; once themicrobes are gone (or when they are present in such low frequency as to be undetectable), theimmune response stays stuck in the "on" mode, causing a lingering inflammation. By the timesymptoms occur, the microorganism itself has disappeared, and its genome will not be detectable inany tissue.
"The health sciences are still grappling with the masking effects of long delays between the onset of
infection and the onset of disease," Ewald says. "Any time you have hit-and-run infections, slowviruses, lingering or relapsing infections, or a time lag between infection and symptoms, the causeand effect is going to be very cryptic. You won't find these newly recognized infections by themethods we used to find old infectious diseases. We have to be ready to think of all sorts of new,clever ways to identify pathogens. We will have to abandon Koch's postulates in some cases."
The Great Synthesizer
AS of this writing, the ideas at the core of Germ Theory, Part II, have been presented by Ewald
mostly in the form of lectures, and in communications with colleagues. The papers in whichthe ideas will be formally articulated are in preparation. Given Ewald's prominence, the
ideas are bound to cause a stir. They will also draw criticism. In the medical sciences, where"theory" is a bad word and "Stick to the data" is the reigning motto, Ewald will come underparticular scrutiny because his hypothesis arrives detached from a vast corpus of laboratory data. Itis helpful to think of Ewald as continuing the tradition of the great scientific synthesizers. Darwinhimself was a synthesizer extraordinaire, who composed the thesis of The Origin of Species largely
out of hundreds of odds and ends contributed by others, from pigeon breeders to naturalists."Professor So-and-so has observed... " is a recurring motif in Darwin's book.
Ewald's theory about evolution and infectiousness provides a framework that potentially unites
diverse research on the front lines of various afflictions. Ulcers and heart disease have already beenmentioned. Here are two more: cancer and mental illness.
In 1910 a man named Peyton Rous discovered the eponymous Rous sarcoma virus, demonstrating
that chickens infected with it developed cancer. Over the years many other cancer viruses have beendiscovered in animals. And yet until 1979, despite broad hints from the animal world, not a singlehuman cancer was generally accepted as infectious. Rous had been lucky: his chickens became sickonly two weeks after infection. Human cancers follow a more languorous course, which means thatby the time symptoms show up, any infectious causation may well be buried under a lifetime ofirrelevant risk factors.
In 1979 HTLV-1, a retrovirus endemic in parts of Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean, and transmitted
either sexually or from mother to child, was linked to certain leukemias and lymphomas; the cancerappeared decades after infection. The Epstein-Barr virus (the agent that causes mononucleosis) hasnow been associated with some B-cell lymphomas, with a nasopharyngeal cancer common in southChina, and with Burkitt's lymphoma, a deadly childhood cancer of Africa. Some 82 percent of allcases of cervical cancer have been associated with the sexually transmitted human papilloma virus,a once relatively innocent-seeming pathogen responsible for genital warts.
H. pylori, the ulcer pathogen, confers a sixfold greater risk of stomach cancer, and accounts for at
least half of all stomach cancers. Also, the lymphoid tissue of the stomach can produce a low-gradegastric lymphoma under the influence of this bacterium. Early reports indicate that the lymphoma iscured in 50 percent of cases by resolving the H. pylori infection -- which may mark the first time in
medical history that cancer has been cured with an antibiotic.
Hepatitis B and C, two of the ever-growing alphabet soup of hepatic diseases, have been linked to
liver cancer. Herpes virus 8 has recently been discovered to be the cause of Kaposi's sarcoma. "Thereis no reason to believe that this flurry of discovery has now completed the list of infectious agents ofcancer," Ewald says.
Among the many known animal cancer viruses is a closely studied retrovirus known as mouse
mammary tumor virus (MMTV), which causes mammary-gland cancer in mice. This virus istransmitted from mother to offspring through mother's milk, lying latent in the daughter'smammary tissue until activated by hormones during her own lactation. Could such a virus be afactor in human breast cancer? In the mid-1980s researchers announced that they had found inmalignant human breast tumors a DNA sequence resembling MMTV, but the excitement wanedwhen the same sequence was found in normal breast tissue as well. Interest has been revived by theresearch of Beatriz G-T. Pogo, a professor in the departments of medicine and microbiology atMount Sinai School of Medicine, in New York. Examining some 400 to 500 breast-cancer samples,she has found DNA sequences resembling MMTV that are not present in normal tissue or in otherhuman cancers. She remains guarded about the implications.
Can You "Catch" Schizophrenia?
MICROBES obviously can cause mental disorders -- as syphilitic dementia, to name but oneexample, makes brutally clear. But most post-Freudian discussions of psychiatricdysfunction have tended not to invoke infection. Recently, however, some cases of
childhood obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) have hinted at a new set of possibilities. Childrenwho have this disease may compulsively count the crayons in their book bags over and over again,or meticulously avoid each crack in the pavement, in order to ward off some imagined evil. Susan E.Swedo, of the National Institute of Mental Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, noticed strongresemblances between OCD and a disease called Sydenham's chorea, formerly known as SaintVitus's dance, which, like rheumatic heart disease, is a rare complication of an untreatedstreptococcal infection. Streptococcal antibodies find their way into the brain and attack a regioncalled the basal ganglia, causing characteristic clumsiness and arm-flapping movements along withobsessions, compulsions, senseless rituals, and idées fixes. Could some cases of childhood OCD be a
milder version of this illness? The hunch paid off. In the early 1990s a new syndrome, known asPANDAS (pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcus), wasrecognized.
Some children with OCD get better when they are given intravenous immunoglobulin or undergo
therapeutic plasma exchange to remove the antibodies from their blood. It is not known whetheradult-onset OCD -- whose most famous avatar was the germ-phobic Howard Hughes -- also resultsfrom some sort of infection. But it is certainly provocative that a mental disorder can result from alingering immune response. The phenomenon makes some people wonder about schizophrenia.
For years, amid the smorgasbord of theories about the etiology of schizophrenia, there has been
recurring speculation about a schizophrenia virus. Karl Menninger wondered in the 1920s ifschizophrenia might result from a flu infection. Later researchers pointed to data that showedseasonal and geographic patterns in the births of schizophrenics, suggestive of infection -- though itmust be said that the viral theorists were largely regarded as inhabiting the fringe. Genetic theoriesgrabbed center stage, and by the 1990s most researchers were pinning their hopes on the geneticmarkers being identified in the Human Genome Project.
In Ewald and Cochran's


 may comfor tably get past these kinks.
M.  If a kink bends the tube too much and stops the flo w of liquid, then the tube can be
inserted only as far as it will go, still allowing the liquid to flow freely.
N.  Sometimes, if one hits a kink that stops the flow o f the liquid completely, the tube can be
pulled out slowly just to the point where the solut ion is felt flowing again. Frequently, the
tube can be pushed back in, past the turn that prev iously stopped the liquid.
O.  Because of the shapes and formations of some people ’s colons or of course if a child is
being given the enema, it will be possible to inser t the tube only a few inches.
Occasionally, this is a permanent situation. Often,  however, as the colon is cleaned and
healed, the tube can eventually be inserted further.
P.  The tube should never  be forced when discomfort occurs.
Q.  After the flow of the solution is completed, one ma y remove the colon tube, although it
isn’t necessary to do so. Regardless of the positio n used up to this point, one should now
lie on the left side for at least 5 minutes, then o n the back for another 5 minutes, then on
the right side for at least 5 minutes.
R.  Those who have excessive gas may leave the tube in the colon with the hose clamp open.
This allows gas to escape through the enema contain er. Frequently, the coffee will go in
and out of the enema bag or bucket until the gas is  relieved.
S.  After the enema is retained for 15 minutes or longe r, it may be expelled.
T.  One is now ready for the rest of his daily routine clean and refreshed!
Helpful Hints
1.  If you find you have a lot of gas and it is difficu lt to retain the enema, try putting 2
tablespoons of blackstrap molasses into your coffee  solution.
2.  If you get a sudden gas bubble causing an urge to e xpel the solution, breathe very fast
through your nose using your abdominal muscles like  a bellows. This usually helps the
colon wall break up the gas bubble.
3.  If you find that a little coffee leaks out, place a n old towel under your buttocks.
Intestinal Obstruction
Occasionally, the intestinal tract will become obst ructed. Usually under these circumstances, no
food or feces will come through. After a few days, one becomes extremely nauseated and starts
vomiting. He or she will be very sick and will norm ally run a high temperature. This should be
watched quite carefully, for in such cases immediat e emergency treatment is absolutely
necessary. One should never allow themselves to become extreme ly toxic. But, in order to distinguish
between a healing toxic reaction and an intestinal obstruction, as soon as nausea or vomiting
develops and no food is passing through, all supple ments and food should be stopped for 5 days.
Water and juice may be taken during this time.
If there is no vomiting, food is passing through, a nd the temperature remains below 100 degrees,
the diet and normal routine may be resumed, as one may assume there is no obstruction.
A point to remember is that one shouldn’t fail to c ycle off the supplements routinely before
reaching such a state of toxicity!
If, during the 5 days off the supplements with no s olid food intake, one begins to vomit and has
abdominal pain with high temperature, the physician  should be consulted so that he or she can
check for intestinal obstruction.
Cleansing The Kidneys
The kidneys are vital organs of detoxification. The y filter approximately 4,000 quarts of blood
daily. The metabolic wastes, largely urea, are elim inated and the acid/alkaline balance
maintained. Many drugs are eliminated through the k idneys, especially the common pain-killing
drugs that can be extremely damaging to these organ s. Such drugs include aspirin, phenacetin
and acetominophen. People often don’t experience an y symptoms from loss of kidney function
until 90% of the function is gone, and then the dam age is irreversible.
The kidneys should be flushed each day with liberal  quantities of fluid, either RO filtered water,
distilled water or fresh fruit and vegetable juices  (preferably organic). Parsley tea is excellent for
strengthening the kidneys. Those with kidney proble ms should avoid ordinary commercial teas
and coffee as a beverage. Herbal teas are acceptabl e.
For those who tend to retain fluid, watermelon is a n excellent diuretic. If the melon is organically
grown, the rind should be juiced and sipped first t hing in the morning and then the red fleshy part
of the fruit may be eaten. Two mornings a week, one  may take the juice of a whole lemon in
warm RO filtered water or distilled water as a diur etic (citrus should not be used more than 2
days a week, as it tends to upset the calcium-phosp horus metabolism if used more frequently).
Shavegrass or horsetail tea is a good diuretic and also good for the skin and hair. An excellent
diuretic salad may be made by combining cabbage and  onions — finely sliced — with crushed
raw garlic, parsley, and herbs like sage, cumin, an d juniper berries, if available. Cover this
mixture with very hot RO filtered water or distille d water and place a lid over it for 10 minutes.
Drain the mixture (the liquid is good to save for s oup bases, grains, etc.) and squeeze a lemon
over it. It can be eaten as is or refrigerated firs t. It can also be mixed with other salads.
In extreme fluid retention, one’s physician may pre scribe a diuretic drug, which is permissible,
and the doctor will normally increase the intake of  potassium to compensate for its loss due to
the drug.
In kidney disease the protein intake should be limi ted and extra vitamins and minerals taken.  Cleansing The Lungs
Life is dependent upon the adequate exchanges of ga ses in the lungs. The most significant are the
removal of carbonic acid and the flow of oxygen int o the blood. The lungs give off many other
gaseous wastes. Sometimes before, but more frequent ly after the start of Metabolic Medicine’s
Cancer Cure Program the patient or those close to h im or her may notice a foul odor on the
breath. No amount of toothpaste or mouthwash will r emove it for long, since it comes from the
bloodstream. One can be assured, however, that this  is only a phase and that the poisons are
leaving the body.
If there is excessive accumulation of mucus in the nostrils and/or bronchial system, this inhibits
the detoxification functions of the lungs. Mucus-fo rming food should be avoided if mucus is a
problem. These are principally dairy products, with  the exception of butter and cream, and baked
flour products. Anti-mucus foods such as raw onions  and garlic, cayenne pepper, freshly ground
black pepper, fresh ginger, and horseradish should be eaten liberally.
Cleansing The Skin
Most people overlook the skin as an organ of detoxi fication. But it is sometimes called "the third
kidney," since many of its functions in fluid and e lectrolyte balance are similar to those of the
kidneys. When great amounts of poisons flood the bo dy, all systems are overloaded and this
function of the skin is sorely needed. As the skin is utilized, all sorts of eruptions, odors, colors,
and blemishes may appear. These conditions will dis appear as the body becomes purified. One
can quickly assess the relative efficiency of elimi nation through the skin by looking at his iris
(the colored portion of the eye). The skin is repre sented by the outermost part of the iris. If it is
very dark and dense, the condition is called a "scu rf rim" in iridology, and it means that the skin
is relatively blocked as an organ of elimination. T o open it up, skin brushing before a shower and
vigorous use of a loofah sponge in the shower are r ecommended. A good quality vegetable-
bristle, skin brush should be purchased from the he alth food store or pharmacy. One should
brush up the front of the body and down the back, o ver all exposed skin surfaces, until a warm
glow is felt. Then one should take a warm shower an d rub briskly with a loofah sponge
(available in most health food stores) to remove th e layers of dead skin loosened by the brushing.
(We have found it best to take a hot shower each mo rning.)
Castile or other pure soap should be used — but in a minimal amount, since heavy soaping will
wash all the valuable skin oils off and can cause t he skin to overproduce oil in order to
compensate. The hair should be shampooed frequently  with a non-chemical soap or shampoo,
which can be found in health food stores.
At the end of the shower, one should turn the water  to cool, then


, is that every cell, all ﬁve
trillion or so, depends upon silent intelligence to keep itself
—and you—together. Intelligence is what prevents the
living structu res in the body from ﬂying apart into a cloud
of atoms. Such intelligence is far from incidental. As in the
piano metap hor I ﬁnd myself returning to, a piano doesn’t
make the music that comes out of it; a mind does. When a
cell commun icates with other cells, there is no message in
the chemicals that carry  the message until the mind puts
one inside.Second attention opens the lines of communication so
that any impulse—love, compassion, empathy, appreciation,
insight, intuition, imagination—is evolutionary and life
supporting. Here we must look beyond science, because to
a cell biologist, chemicals are chemicals. They are value
neutral. An impulse of hatred can be encoded as easily as
an impulse of love. But if you stand back and examine your
life from the perspective of second attention, you can see
value everywhere in the body. Cells cooper ate with one
another. They understand that the good of the whole body
is paramount. They live in the present moment and base
their lives on trusting that nourishment will always  come to
them. They know how to self -heal.
Second attention promotes these values, not by analyzing
the activity of cells but by going to the source, from which
life is susta ined. Since writing Quantum Healing,  I’ve
become even  more convinced that consciousness holds the
key to the ﬂow of life whether you deﬁne life scientiﬁcally,
mystically, or through any other label. While we argue over
labels, we are missing the opportunity to promote the silent
intelligence that is crucial to everything.
A practical-minded reader will say, “Fine, but what do I
do?” Beyond making the positive lifestyle changes that
have become well-known, there are more subtle actions to
perform. These are mental actions, but they aren’t the
same as positive thinking, therapy, or even self-awareness.
They focus instead on attention and intention. When you
have an intention to move your hand, there are no steps to
go through. The instant you want to move your hand, it
moves. But what about the intention to heal yourself or the
intention to promote peace in your surroundings?
Science ﬁnds itself skeptical and largely baﬄed  when
such questions come up—they are barely considered
legitimate. Yet on the fringes of respectability there are
mounting research studies on the power of praye r to helpthe sick. Since Quantum Healing  appeared, other studies
have gone even deeper into the eﬀectiveness of intention.
Especially intriguing is a pioneering study of native
Hawaiian healers led by the late Dr. Jeanne Achterberg, a
physiologist of the mind-body connection who was
fascinated by anecdotes that native healers often did their
work from a distance. Here’s how the Achterberg study
worked, as described in Super Brain,  which I wrote with
Rudolph E. Tanzi.
In 2005, after a two-year search, she and her
colleagues gathered eleven Hawaiian healers.
Each had pursued their native healing tradition
for an average of 23 years. The healers were
asked to select a person with whom they had
successfully worked in the past and with whom
they felt an empathic connection. This person
would be the recipient of healing in a controlled
setting. The healers described their methods in a
variety of ways—as prayer, sending energy, good
intentions, or simply thinking and wishing the
highest good for their subjects. Achterberg simply
called these eﬀorts distant intentionality (DI).
Each recipie nt was isolated from the healer
while undergoing an fMRI of their brain activity.
The healers were asked to randomly send DI at
two-minute intervals; the recipients could not
have anticipated when the DI was being sent. Yet
their brains did. Signiﬁcant diﬀerences were
found between the expe rimental (send) periods
and control (no-send) periods in ten out of eleven
cases. For the send periods, speciﬁc areas within
the subjects’ brains “lit up” on the fMRI scan,
indicating increased metabolic activity. This did
not occur during the no-send periods.Skeptics dism iss such studies without actually trying to
duplicate them or to understand the hidden mechanics of
intention. However, in the Vedic tradition, there has been a
sophisticated description  of the mechanics of intention
going back centuries. It was divided into three parts. First,
an eﬀective intention must arise in a deep level of the
mind, below  the stream of constant activity. The very
deepest state of awareness, which is calm, still, unmoved,
and all-wise, is known in Sanskrit as samadhi.
What Helps Samadhi
•Meditation
•Calm, peaceful surroundings
•Lack of mental agitation
•Absence of stress
•Minimal distractions
•Self-acceptance
•Self-awareness
What Hurts Samadhi
The opposite of the above: anything that jangles the
mind, makin g it restless, overactive, stressed, and
outward gazing
The second part of the mechanics of intention is to have
the intention  be as clear and focused as possible. This gives
awareness a speciﬁc direction. The term for this in Sansk rit
is dharana.What Helps Dharana
•Clear thinking
•Acting purposefully
•Not losing sight of the goal
•Conﬁdence
•The ability to stick with a mental task
•Follow-through
•Diligence
What Hurts Dharana
•Multitasking
•Mental confusion
•Conﬂicted desires
•Lack of self -knowledge
•Fantasy and daydreaming
•Short attention span
•A craving to escape the self
The third part of the mechanics of intention is a state of
ﬂexibility where your mind is steady and active at the same
time. You can see this state when a child is totally
engrossed in playing with a toy. His attention is on nothing
else, and yet inside the play, he does all kinds of things
(pushing a toy truck, throwing ﬁnger paint on the walls).
When you have an intention, your focus is sharp, but then
you let go and allow silent intelligence to take care of the
outcome. This isn’t the same as passive indiﬀerence. Youare open and alert, because there can be any response at
all. The term in Sanskrit for this is dhyana.
What Helps Dhyana
•Being relaxed and easy
•Mindfulness
•Acceptance of things as they are
•Putting a value on being
•Trust
•Believing in the wisdom of uncertainty
•Allegiance to a higher level of intelligence that
organizes reality
What Hurts Dhyana
•Tension
•Anticipation
•Controlling yourself and others
•Rigidity
•Insistence on rules and routines
•Obsession
•Compulsive behavior
•Inability to believe that the universe supports you
I’ve gone into detail here because at the time of Quantum
Healing,  there were few action steps that pertained to
silent intelligence other than meditation, which remains the
most powerful and direct  means to connect with the mind’sdeeper levels. But meditation too often  lacks a purposeful
component. The toolbox is opened and the tools just lie
there. That’s why it’s important to master the mechanics of
intention. The paradox is that there’s nothing really to do
and yet everything to do. There’s nothing to do as far as
ﬁrst attention is concerned. You live your life, dealing with
its challenges as best you can.
At the level of second attention, however, there’s
everything to do, because you are calling upon the
universe, to use a popular phrase, and activating hidden
forces unknown to the outward-looking mind. A now-
obscure Scottish writer and mountaineer, W. H. Murray, hit
upon the mechanics of intention with uncanny precision,
intuiting the same things that the V edic sages described.
There is one elementary truth, the ignorance of
which kills countless ideas and splendid plans;
that the mom ent one deﬁnitely commits oneself,
then providence moves too.
Having discovered the connection between what happens
“in here” (intention) and what happens “out there” (the
forces that an intention can move), Murray saw that these
awakened forces exist to support human aspirations.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would
never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of
events issue s from the decision raising in one’s
favor all manner of unforeseen events, meetings
and material assistance which no one could have
dreamed would have come their way.
For quantum healing to be completely viable, the power
of intention must be harnessed, calling not upon“providence,” which many people don’t accept, but upon
the inner intelligence that more and more scientiﬁc
evidence supports. That the mind can move molecules is
just as wondrous as faith moving mountains.

This breakthrough reveals our true purpose. We are absolutely necessary in the grand scheme of things.The universe needs you in a unique way, because only you can have the experience that your liferepresents. Your individuality makes an absolute contribution. Because reality is based on consciousness,the universe cannot spare a unit of consciousness without harm to the whole.You can join in the evolutionary ﬂow of the universe or not, it’s your choice. Either way, evolution willproceed, but if you opt out, it won’t proceed through you.In the past, life was made easier by knowing what God had in store for everyone. The universe waspurposeful. Yet as powerful and comforting as this might be, religion has always been shadowed by aserious contradiction. Everyone is considered precious to God, but no one is really needed. Individual lives are thrown away in war by the tens of thousands every year. Untold more lives are lost through disease and famine, or barely get a start before infant mortality struck.It’s only human to realize that we all need each other. But if taken too far, this becomes a system of codependency in the worst sense: I only exist to need and be needed. But from your soul’s perspective, you are as great an addition to the world as a Gandhi or Mother Teresa, and subtracting you from the cosmic equation would be just as great a loss.Countless people accept that life’s pain and suffering comes randomly. They have accepted that there isnothing they can do to change their life. This is learned helplessness. Without a sense of purpose, we decide that being helpless makes sense, since either God isn’t there or he doesn’t care what happens to us. To escape our learned helplessness, there has to be a sense that we matter in the larger scheme of things. The plan that guides your life must take three levels into account. 1.) God’s level, is unlimited in its potential. Everything is possible. No choice is dictated in advance. Wecan also call this the cosmic level. 2.) Second, there is the soul’s level, which steps down inﬁnite possibilities to the human level. At thesoul’s level there is still open choice, but conditions start to be placed on what is really feasible. 3.) Finally there is the human level, where choice seems far more limited, and we ﬁnd ourselvesnegotiating how much freedom we have to do what we want.The plan that unfolds the universe stands right before us, even though we fail to see it. We’re blindbecause the plan is us. Or to make it personal, you are the cosmic plan – or the divine plan, if you prefer.There are no rules outside your mind, no actions outside your body. Whatever you choose to do, the planbends to accommodate you. When you have a new desire, the universe shifts accordingly. It has no choice, because there is no purpose to creation beyond you, here and now.All your life you have absorbed a world view that puts you below a higher power. If it isn’t the power ofGod, it’s the power of natural forces. If it isn’t the power of authority ﬁgures, it’s the power of humannature and its self-destructive impulses. None of that is true once you discover your real self. Ultimately, to discover your purpose comes down to discovering who you really are.The cosmic plan that was built into you follows 5 invisible guidelines:1. Everything is conscious. Consciousness is an activity of the entire universe. This meansthat when you are aware of anything, the universe is being aware through you.2. Everything ﬁts together. There are no loose parts to the universe, nothing is a leftover.When anything looks random, you are seeing one pattern moving into another.3. The whole scheme is self-organizing. No outside controller is needed. Once a galaxy, abutterﬂy, a heart, or an entire species is on the move, its inner workings know what to do.4. Evolution unfolds within itself. Once something grows, it seeks the highest form of itself– the best star, dinosaur, fern, or amoeba – that it can be. When that form is exhausted, itmakes a transition to a new form that is more creative and interesting.5. Freedom is the ultimate goal. You don’t win by getting to the end; you win by ﬁnding anew game the instant the old one is over. This isn’t an empty freedom. You never ﬁndyourself ﬂoating in a void. Rather, this is the freedom of possibilities that never run out.
 EXERCISES FOR LESSON 131. Take the time this week to meditate about your unique role in the universe. What do you have togive to the universe through the vessel that is your soul? Is there a special talent or unique skill that youhave been underplaying for fear of being noticed or of being burdened with a responsibility that you cannot handle? Imagine yourself manifesting the highest potential in your soul, which will inevitably bringgreatness to you and those around you. 2. Journal about your thoughts on the idea of the evolutionary or divine plan. Do you believe in this?Where do you think the universe is going, and what role can you play to be a part of the ﬂow? Have youever experienced a series of events or circumstances where you felt as though you were in sync with some sort of divine plan.  3. Write down an intention about how you plan on aiding the evolution of the universe through your ownconscious actions. Dare to dream big! You truly have the power to make a signiﬁcant impact on the course of humanity for the better.LESSON 14: 10 Steps to Wholeness And ConclusionWATCH LESSON 14 VIDEO BY DEEPAK CHOPRA ONLINE: http://blip.tv/play/AYGpjFgC

Wholeness is the result of connecting body, mind, and soul. In wholeness you aren’t divided againstyourself. Therefore, the choices you make are beneﬁcial at every level. Once you realize how the soulfunctions, there would seem to be no reason to turn back and live any other way than from the level of thesoul. Yet living without the soul has also been easy.The secret is to live in wholeness now, before you completely achieve it. What’s needed is a lifestyle thatkeeps your vision alive. A holistic lifestyle should sustain the ties to your soul even when those ties feelfragile.Spiritual teachers have wrestled with this problem for centuries, wondering how they can bridge the gulfbetween the old and the new life. Teaching and preaching aren’t enough. Showing by example isn’tenough. Yet many human beings have crossed over to the light and what they have achieved is real. If wedistill their stories, a lifestyle composed of 10 steps to wholeness emerges that is simple and can be followed without anyone else needing to know or approve. 10 Steps to Wholeness1. Nourish your "light body." If you feed it with fresh energy every day, it will provide you with inspirationand guidance.2. Turn entropy into evolution. With constant input from your soul, your mind can generate never endingcreativity.3. Commit yourself to deeper awareness. Ask for new vision, new beliefs, and a new sense of self everyday.4. Be generous of spirit. Generosity begins at the level of the soul, which never runs out of the two thingstotally necessary to life: energy and awareness.5. Focus on relationships instead of consumption. Wholeness depends on relationships that are whole. You cannot be whole in isolation. As your soul sees you, you are connected to everything. To be connected means to be in relationship.6. Relate to your body consciously. Every day, your body consciously tends to you, never losing focus.You can acknowledge this faithful service by consciously relating to your body in turn with trust,consideration, honesty, mutual cooperation and loving appreciation.7. Embrace every day as a new world. There seems to be a gap between mind and body. Since the mindsets the body’s agenda, if you win the tiny battles against routine, inertia, and boredom, this gap will closeand every day will seem like a renewal.8. Let the timeless be in charge of time. Your soul’s frame of reference is timeless. Live from that timelessplace. At your source all events are laid out with perfect timing. Time submits to your desire, not the otherway around.9. Feel the world instead of trying to understand it. The ﬂow of life refuses to be analyzed. Yet you weredesigned with sensitive awareness that goes far beyond thinking. Instead of trying to understand theendlessly changing world, you can feel your way and trust those feelings. Only then will you know what isunfolding around you.10. Seek after your own mystery. You must want wholeness as fervently as you want a job, house, car, and family. You must be willing to walk the path alone. The answer lies in

With suspected deficiency take several hundred mg. It may need
hydrochloric acid supplement for absorption.
Vitamin B2  or Riboflavin is indicated with inflammations of the eyes (pink
eye) or when red capillaries are visible in the sclera, the white part of the
eye, try 100mg; it also helps with oxidative energy production and
migraines.

 Vitamin B3 or Niacinamide in high doses can greatly increase energy
levels, and is especially good with muscle weakness, cold hands and
feet, and brain problems such as brain fog, dementia, depression,
schizophrenia and anxiety; try 2 or 3 x 250 to 500mg with food.
Niacin  is the acid, flushing form of vitamin B3; 50 to 250mg may be taken
on an empty stomach to flush the skin for rejuvenation and clean out
capillaries in the skin. Sensitive individuals may start with 25mg after
meals. Always start with a low dose and increase gradually. After taking
it for a while you need to increase the dose or interrupt flushing for a
week or two. It also lowers elevated blood fat le vels.
Vitamin B5,  Pantothenic acid or calcium pantothenate is very beneficial
with weak adrenal glands and low blood pressure, especially during
periods of stress; try 250 to 500mg 2 or 3x daily.
Vitamin B6  or Pyridoxine  is especially important for the protein
metabolism and problems with the hands, the nervous system, and
emotional conditions such as depression and anxiety problems.
Deficiency also shows as poor dream recall and is commonly caused by
pyroluria. Several hu ndred mg may help but pyridoxal -5-phosphate (the
activated form) usually gives better results.
Vitamin B12 or cobalamine  is not well absorbed and often deficient. This
causes lack of energy and possibly anaemia and nerve problems. For
better absorption kee p a crushed tablet under the tongue.  However,
vitamin B12 needs to be converted into the two active forms
methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. This may not be possible with
weak liver functions and then causes a wide range of symptoms –
neurological, psychiatric, hematological, vascular and gastro -intestinal.

Vitamin C,  ascorbic acid or ascorbate in large,  divided doses is not only
helpful in emergencies such as acute infections, burns or poisoning but
also to provide more energy, and for healthy blood circulation and
connective tissue, see Alternative Oxygen Supply fur ther down.  37
 Antioxidants  also protect against cross -linking damage. Generally,  use
a wide range of antioxidant supplements and foods. Try 4 to 10mg of the
oil-soluble astaxanthin  a day, it is one of the strongest antioxidants and
especially good for the br ain and skin.
Alpha lipoic acid  is another strong antioxidant that protects oil soluble
as well as water -soluble biochemicals. It also chelates toxic metals. For
health improvement use  up to several hundred milligrams daily in divided
doses but start with low doses because it chelates mercury and can
cause temporary reactions.
Minerals
Most important are usually boron, chromium, copper, iodine,
magnesium, selenium, sulphur and zinc. A fair supplemental amount of
selenium is 100mcg, and of zinc 30mg per day.
Boron  is essential for the parathyroid to regulate calcium and
magnesium, and so prevent or treat arthritis and osteoporosis. Try about
10mg/day as 100mg borax, see Chapter 5 or The Borax Conspiracy.
Calcium:  There is usually enough calcium in the diet, deficiency comes
from malabsorption and low stomach acid due  to Candida, and from
deficiencies of boron, magnesium and vitamin s D3 and K2.
However, to protect and repair your teeth frequently rinse your mouth
with lime water (calcium hydroxide) e specially after acidic meals or
drinks. On teeth it can then react with phosphates in saliva to form
calcium phosphates and gradually fill small holes.
Chromium  as Cr(3) is important for reg ulating the blood glucose le vel,
and generally  the carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism.
Copper  is necessary for many enzymes, especially for the metabolism
of iron and formation of red blood cells, connective tissue, elastic blood
vessels, pigmentation of skin and hair, and nerve functions. It is strongly
anti-inflammatory, and copper blood level i s high during infections and
cancer, most effective is copper salicylate, best absorbed through the
skin. Copper salicylate, is a powerful anti -inflammatory remedy and
fungicide, see:  Copper and Zinc Salicylates.   38
 Iodine  helps to protect the mucous membranes from invading  fungi. The
listed values of iodine in food, including kelp and seaweed, are actually
for iodide, there is no iodine in these. Individuals with liver and oxidation
problems have difficulties oxidising iodide to iodine and often are
severely deficient. The solution is to take several drops of Lugols daily,
supplying 6.5mg per drop. This helps  to protect not only from fungi but
also from the development of cysts and cancer in bowels, breasts,
ovaries, prostate and uterus.
Furthermore, iodine is essential to activate tissue regeneration. Instead
of Lugols you may use the weaker Iosol, or in the US Iodoral tablets.
Iodine can cause a strong reaction with individuals on stimulating
medications for thyroid or heart, or when on steroids, or with overactive
thyroids. In these cases,  it is essential to start with very low doses, e.g.
one-tenth of a drop and increase only very slowly.
A better way is to rub one or several diluted drops of Lugols, possibly
with additional DMSO, on th e thyroid. This is likely to be more effective
while causing fewer side effects, especially for those with overactive
thyroids. Topical applications are also more effective with other
problems, such as cysts or breast cancer and cancer in general,
problems  with the ovaries, prostate, testicles, pancreas, and other
organs. Also see Iodine.
Magnesium  is needed by many enzymes, and to relax muscles. It is
especially good with arthritis and cramps. Use about 300 to 600mg daily
mixed with food. I prefer it as magnesium chloride. Hydrated magnesium
chloride contains about 120mg of magnesium per gram or 60 0mg per
rounded teaspoon. For convenience you may fill a jar halfway with
magnesium chloride and then to the top with water. Use h alf to one
teaspoon of this solution, sprinkled over food or with a drink, to provide
about 100 to 200mg of magnesium. It is n ot advisable to take high
amounts orally because the kidneys need to keep the blood level
constant and immediately excrete larger amounts. Muscles, including the
heart, need a defined ratio between Calcium and Magnesium to contract
and relax. Presently mos t individuals are deficient in magnesium but 39
 need to obtain it mainly by transdermal application. Also see Magnesium
Chloride.
Molybdenum  (about 500mcg) may help if foods or supplements
containing sulphur seem to cause problems. It activates an enz yme that
oxidises sulphur compounds to sulphates.
Selenium  is most important with cancer, heart problems  for thyroid
functions, and all infections, chronic or acute. Temporarily take up to
400mcg/day, normally about 100mcg.  The natural and most
recommended form, as in Brazil nuts, is L-Selenomethionine in which the
amino acid methionine has selenium instead of sulphur. Do not use
selenium -methionine chelate or selenite instead. Brazil nuts may contain
60 to 100mcg per nut, but this varies greatly, and it may also be much
less or much more.
Sulphu r is essential for connective tissue and detoxifying the liver. It is
available from egg yolk, garlic, onion and the cabbage family. Sulphur
helps with arthritis and muscular pain, reduces inflammation and muscle
spasms, promotes blood flow, and softens hardened tissues and cell
walls, making them more elastic. The main supplements are DMSO and
MSM  (methylsulfonylmethane). MSM is often combined with
glucosamine for arthritis, try 10g daily, orally and as solution rubbed into
the skin. DMSO is closely related to MSM and ex cellent to carry remedies
through the skin, outstanding for relief of pain and arthritis. It is the super -
remedy. Also see Alternative Oxygen Supply further down in this chapter,
and for more information  see: MSM as a Versatile Healer.
Zinc is essential  for numerous enzyme reactions but just like vitamin B
