and
also
after
frequent
consumption
of
several
concentrated
foods
at
once.
Based
on
your
own
urine,
you
will
immediately
understand,
without
any
theory
or
dietetics,
what
foods
you
should
eat
and
how
to
combine
or
prepare
them.
Without
using
thisfeedback,
it
is
useless
to
explain
anything
to
people
about
proper
nutrition.
In
Indian
ashrams
-
hermitages
of
Hindu
penitents,
where
urine
therapy
is
practiced,
the
following
products
are
eaten:
rice
cakes,
boiled
vegetables,
a
small
amount
of
legumes,
sometimes
raw
fruits
and
raw
vegetables.
With
such
a
diet,
urine
will
have
a
pleasant
taste.
Changes
in
the
menu
are
made
in
accordance
with
the
individual
needs,
body
structure
and
diseases
that
the
person
in
question
suffers
from.
They
are
also
mostly
related
to
his
individual
body
structure.
For
example,
in
the
treatment
of
hepatitis
(inflammation
of
the
liver)
and
gallbladder
problems,
as
much
sweet
fruit
as
possible,
boiled
water
and
especially
dried
apple
compote
are
used.
So
for
the
winter,
it's
a
good
idea
to
dry
up
as
much
as
possible,
and
in
the
spring
you'll
be
like
little
fish.
There
is
also
another
moment
when
using
different
treatment
products.
For
example,
by
using
a
decoction
of
wormwood
(preferably
as
an
enema),
its
dissolving
and
bactericidal
abilities
affect
the
entire
organism.
After
passing
through
your
body,
the
substances
of
wormwood,
together
with
dissolved
waste
and
destroyed
bacteria,
create
a
completely
new
substance,
which,
when
repeatedly
introduced
into
the
body,
will
have
a
selective
and
very
sensitive
effect
on
the
pathology
from
which
it
arose.
This
is
nothing
but
a
method
of
treating
nosodes,
when
the
disease
is
in
a
passive
stage
or
is
"encapsulated"
in
the
organism.
However,
the
effect
of
repeated
introduction
of
urine
into
the
body
by
drinking,
enema,
rubbing
into
the
skin
is
much
deeper
and
more
targeted
than
the
mentioned
example
with
wormwood.
Urine
is
excellent
when
a
person
eats
only
sprouted
grain
bread
for
three
or
more
days
without
side
dishes
and
ingredients,
without
meat,
salt,
pepper,
etc.
The
healing
abilities
of
such
urine
will
increase
considerably
and
it
can
also
be
used
to
treat
other
people.
If
you
mix
such
urine
with
honey,
hardly
anyone
will
recognize
that
it
is
urine
and
not
a
decoction
of
herbs.
Unique
urine
is
formed
during
starvation.
Because
there
is
a
massive
excretion
of
waste
products
and
the
urine
is
saturated
with
them,
then
drinking
such
urine
(daily
only)
helps
strong
dissolution
deposits
and
waste
matter
and
treatment
of
hidden
foci
of
infection
in
accordance
with
homeopathy
principle
-
like
affects
like.
The
longer
such
starvation
lasts,
the
better
the
organism
gets
rid
of
harmful
substances,
deeper
and
deeper
deposits,
all
the
way
to
the
bone
marrow.
Thanks
to
this
effect
alone,
the
author
gained
up
to
50
the
mobility
and
flexibility
of
a
real
yogi.
The
taste
of
such
urine
is
sharper,
but
all
the
better
it
dissolves
and
expels
various
pathologies
from
the
body.
At
the
same
time,
the
urine
becomes
so
saturated
with
waste,
salts
and
other
substances
that
it
begins
to
be
excreted
through
the
anus
and
in
this
way
cleans
the
large
intestine
in
a
natural
way.
However,
when
the
deep
cleansing
is
completed
(this
is
in
about
20
days
if
you
have
under gone
a
colon
and
liver
cleanse
before),
the
urine
regains
its
normal
taste
properties.
Therefore,
depending
on
the
taste
of
the
urine,
the
time
of
the
end
of
the
fast
can
be
determined
quite
accurately.
However,
this
indicator
is
very
individual
and
everything
depends
only
on
the
fasting
person.
Also,
the
frequent
removal
of
dissolved
pollutants
with
an
enema
significantly
changes
the
quality
of
urine.
In
order
to
understand
the
importance
of
the
influence
of
thinking,
emotions
and
body
structure
on
our
health,
we
need
to
penetrate
deeper
into
the
human
organism.
According
to
the
latest
physics
research,
the
main
structural
level
today
is
not
a
molecule
or
an
atom,
but
a
quantum,
which
is
a
basic
unit
of
matter
or
energy
up
to
a
hundred
million
times
smaller
than
an
atom.
At
this
quantum
level,
matter
and
energy
become
interchangeable.
According
to
Vedic
philosophy,
the
polar
essence
of
man
is
formed
in
the
beginning,
which,
thanks
to
its
strong
but
invisible
vibrations,
forces
the
quanta
to
combine
into
atoms,
molecules
and
particles.
Current
research
at
the
Maharishi
Ayurveda
Institute
has
confirmed
these
claims
of
ancient
Indian
books.
The
polar
level
of
the
human
being
is
governed
by
thoughts,
feelings
and
moods.
At
the
quantum
level,
every
thought
creates
quantum
fluctuations,
waves,
which
eventually
transform
into
materialsubstances.
For
example,
fear
leads
to
the
release
of
adrenaline,
joy
to
the
creation
of
endorphins,
internal
opiates.
All
these
substances
have
different
effects
on
human
physiology.
They
also
naturally
enter
the
urine,
which
thereby
becomes
medicinal
or
"poisonous".
Practice
has
shown
that
harmful
substances
are
created
under
the
influence
of
worry,
anger
and
other
negative
emotions.
Urine
saturated
with
such
substances
can
cause
a
certain
degree
of
poisoning
when
reabsorbed.
A
happy
mood
saturates
urine
with
beneficial
substances,
and
therefore
its
repeated
intake
is
a
real
balm
for
body
and
soul.
It
is
no
coincidence
that
in
Shivambukalpa
all
those
interested
in
urine
therapy
are
advised
to
control
their
emotions.

 have helped you to realize that there is more to
life than just material experience. Whether the source is scripture, poetry,
music, or a movie, the test is for you to allow yourself to enter into, say, a
Mozart concerto or a ballad by Alicia Keys, and experience transcendence.
Let go and be present in the notes, in the rhythms, in the harmonies. Allow
someone else’s epiphany to reach out and touch you. Such experiences
provide a foretaste of what unity consciousness is like all the time.
FRIDAY
The First and Last Mystery
Begin by silently repeating today’ s theme:
I embody the ﬁeld of inﬁnite possibilities.
I embody the ﬁeld of inﬁnite possibilities.
Royal Yoga begins and ends with the same mystery. One can call it the
mystery of existence, but, to make it more personal, this is the mystery of
“Who am I?” Choosing your identity is up to you. Every action you take is
rooted in who you think you are. If you spend money freely, this reflects a
belief that you are rich (which might or might not be true). String together
the tags and labels that apply to you, and they give a shorthand account of
your identity. “I am Deepak, a doctor born in India, married with a wife and
two children” is a string of labels and tags that apply to me, and I can add
many more, as many as I wish.
People spend their entire lives desiring “good” labels like rich,
powerful, loved, attractive, and young, while hoping that “bad” labels don’t
stick to them, including poor, weak, stupid, dishonest, and unlovable. Thisis how life works in separation. But tags and labels can’t possibly describe
what it means to be fully human, and only a fully human answ er to “Who
am I?” will be truly satisfying.
Royal Yoga teaches that you are the true self—we’ve established that
much so far—but what are the actions of the true self? What can it do that
those other selves cannot?
WHAT YOUR TRUE SELF CAN DO
It can fulﬁll all desires.
It can banish all pain and suffering.
It can give the experience of eternity.
It can show you the reality of boundless Being.
It can be anywhere and everywhere at once.
It can open the way to every state of higher consciousness.
These are absolute statements. There is a quantum leap from fulfilling
one desire and fulfilling all desires, and the same applies when healing one
cause of pain and suffering and healing all pain and suffering. Because it is
absolute, the true self isn’t anything like the other selves you can identify
with. In separation, you exper ience limits and boundaries; you have no
trouble knowing what is “me” and what is “not me.” But all opposites
vanish in unity consciousness. Looking around, you see the light extending
infinitely in all directions, and you ar e the light.
This isn’t a mystical statement. In physics there is a point, known as a
“singularity,” from which the universe springs. The singularity is so small it
cannot be measured, like the period at the end of a sentence reduced to the
vanishing point yet somehow still here. Time and space emer ge from the
singularity; therefore, it is neither here nor there. You can’t locate it now,
before, or after. Trillions of galaxies are contained in it, yet there is no “in”
or “out” when it comes to the singularity itself.
The singularity is literally mind-boggling. The human mind can’t
conceive of the universe being contained in an infinitesimal point (althoughpoets can imagine this, as in William Blake’ s famous lines: “To see a World
in a Grain of Sand / And a Heaven in a Wild Flower / Hold Infinity in the
palm of your hand / And Eternity in an hour”).
Yoga has its own word for a singularity: bindu, which just means
“point.” The bindu  is a point of awareness that contains every possible
experience available to a human being. Like a singularity, the bindu  can’ t be
measured—it is too small to have a dimension in time and space—and yet it
contains an infinity of possibili ties. The best, simplest, and truest way to
know who you are is here. You are a point of awareness from  which all
possibilities flow outward.
With this realization comes the big payof f. The bindu, a mere point of
awareness, is where samyama  operates. Samyama, as we saw, unites
knower, known, and process of knowing. If you can control samyama, you
can have any experience you want. All the stories about supernatural
powers attained by yogis, swamis, and saints are extensions of samyama.
To Patanjali, walking on a sunbeam is as natural as walking through a
meadow. This isn’t something you are asked to believe or not to believe. It
is something you are asked to explore.
Now you know who you are and the purpose of your life, as revealed by
Royal Yoga. You are the creative source of your own reality, and your
purpose is to explore how far your creative powers can take you. Once you
get to the heart of the matter, life has only two phases. The first phase is
spent in separati on, the second phase in unity consciousness. One phase is
fragmentary, the other is whole. The secret of existence, as revealed by
Yoga, is that wholeness is in charge, even when you feel alone, weak,
insignificant, and helpless. Awareness is in charge. Royal Yoga helps you to
live this truth.
Explore this: Your true self is as indestructible as existence itself. Your
creative power is untouched by any event in the outside world. As you
wander through life, the truth about who you are seems to change as the
scenery changes. Birth, death, and everything in between are controlled by
maya, yet maya  is contained by the bindu, a single point from which all ofcreation flows. Illusion may be part of experience, but awaren ess helps us
to see illusion for what it really is, a parlor trick of the ego.
Exercise
Even though unity consciousness may feel as if it were far away, you
can identify your true essence right now. Sit quietly, and when you feel
settled, look around you. Notice what is in front of you, what is to the right,
and what is to the left.
Now close your eyes and see the color blue in your mind. Open your
eyes and look forward. Close your eyes, see the color blue again, then open
your eyes and look to your right. Repeat and look to your left. Did the color
blue move right, left, or center?  No, even as the scenery changed, the color
blue kept still and was motionle ss. It springs from the bindu, the still point
that is your essence.
You can repeat this exercise with any quality you choose. Hum a tune to
yourself. Look right and left. Did the tune move? Look outside the window
as far as you can see, even up to the stars. Did the still point travel outside
you? The bindu  is always here and now. It has no properties. You can’t
assign any quality to it, like hot or cold, high or low, young or old. The
bindu  is your portion of eternity; it is where you stand in infinity. This is the
first and last mystery of existence. The entire teaching of Royal Y oga comes
down to “the still point of the turning world,” as the poet T. S. Eliot put it.
Now you are ready to launch  yourself into the discovery of infinite
possibilities that has always been your birthright.

OceanofPDF.comTHE ASANAS
WHAT IS YOGA?
As Deep ak allud ed to earlier, the word yoga  comes from the root word
yuj, meaning to “harness,” “yoke,” or “unite.” Simply put, yoga merges the
disparate parts of the self into one unified state of awareness, allowing us to
live fully in the light. There are many paths to that state of wholeness, and
asana is one limb of the tree that makes up the yogic path. Yoga dates back
more than five thousand years  to India. The ancient teachings of yoga
originate from the Vedas, an ancient Hindu scripture that disseminates the
insights of the rishis, or seers, of India. These spiritually awakened
aspirants interpr eted the wisdom of the universe through Nature and its
elements. According to the rishis, the human body is a vehicle that enables
us to access a greater field of intelligence. The individual spirit is the
microcosm of that intelligence, just like a drop of water is to the ocean.
When a drop of water merges back into the ocean, it loses its form, shape,
and identity. It becomes the ocean. The same is true for individual
consciousness: When the soul, or jiva atman, merges with the ocean of
intelligence, or Brahman, yoga happens.
The Bhagavad Gita, the great Indian epic from the Mahābhārata,
translates yoga  as “skill


 eaten at the same meal with vegetables, are superior in all the nutrients
needed to rebuild health.
As we go higher on the scale of quality, we begin to include protein rich food which may be eaten in the unfired (raw)
state, such as cheese which is made from raw milk and unsalted.
Then we ascend to the nuts and seeds which are eaten in the natural state (raw and unsalted).

HIGHEST QUALITY - RAW FOOD
To summarize: the closer the food comes to the natural state in which it occurs, or the closer to its raw, unfired (raw)
form, the higher its quality.
In this condition, all the enzymes are found intact. The amino acids are in their finest form. The minerals, vitamins,
trace elements, carbohydrates and "life force" are present. The life force, in turn is capable of reproduc ing healthy
tissue.
This same classification of quality which we analyzed in relation to protein rich foods applies to the carbohydrates (the
starch and sugar -rich foods), the fats and the mineral -rich foods.

TOXIC SUBSTANCES
The quality of a nutritional program is also improved by omitting toxic substances such, as coffee, tea, chocolate,
tobacco, salt, pepper, etc. from your diet.

FOODS AND RECOVERY FROM ILLNESS
What is the relation of quality of foods to recovery from illness?
It is this in a nutshell:  The higher the quality of food we eat, the quicker we recover from disease, provided we are
able to digest and assimilate properly.
To this must be added the knowledge of
•   proper food combining
•   proper order of eating the different kinds of food at a meal: e.g. the most easily digested food should be eaten
first, the more complex one second, and the most concentrated item last
•   the correct quantity of food to be consumed (of each type) in the meal
•   the correct time for eating (when hungry, and not by the clock)

REMARKABLE CHANGES
Now - what happens when a person follows these rules and makes a decided improvement in the quality of food
consumed?
Remarkable things begin to happen to the body as well as the mind. The amazing intelligence present in every cell of
the body and the wisdom of the body in its operation, immediately becomes manifest.
The rule may be stated thusly: When the quality of the food coming into the body is of higher quality than the tissues
which the body is made of, the body begins to discard the lower grade materials and tissues to make room for the
superior materials which it uses to make new and healthier tissue.

NATURE SELF -CURING
This is the plan of Nature - the body is very selective and always aims for improvement for better health. The body
always tries to produce health and always will, unless our interference is too great. Only then do we fail to recover and
degenerate further into disease.
The self -curing nature of many conditions such as colds, fevers, cuts, swelli ngs, injuries, etc., furnishes endless
examples of how the body tends towards health - always - unless we do something to stop the process.

SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS
What are the symptoms or signs which become evident when we first begin to omit the lower grade foods and instead
introduce superior foods - those which are most alive, more natural than we are accustomed to?
Usually within three days, the symptoms vanish and we feel stronger due to the recuperation which follows.

 copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648 -1500    www.drbass.com  6

To a lesser extent the same process occurs when we abandon lower quality foods and replace them with better
foods.

LOWER QUALITY - MORE STIMULATING
Lower quality has undergone more preparation.
Spices,  salt and other ingredients have been added, as they tend to be more "stimulating" than less prepared and
more natural foods. Animal foods such as meat, fowl, fish etc. are more stimulating than cheese, nuts and vegetable
proteins.
Consequently the withdrawal of stimulation which follows the abandonment of animal food produces a slower heart
action - a resting phase - which registers in the mind as relaxation or a decrease of energy. This initial letdown lasts
about ten days or slightly longer, and is followed by an increase of strength, a feeling of diminishing stress and greater
well-being.

AVOIDING FAILURE
Now let us return to the symptoms which occur in the process of regeneration. The person who starts a better diet,
stays on it for three days to a week and then quits will say, "Oh, I felt better on the old diet - the new one makes me
feel weak." He failed because he didn't give his body a chance to adjust and complete its first phase of action -
recuperation. If he had waited a while longer, he  would have begun to feel better than before he started.

RECUPERATION - PHASE ONE
During the initial stage (lasting about ten days on the average to several weeks in others), the vital energies which are
usually in the periphery or external part of the bo dy such as the muscles and skin, begin to move to the vital internal
organs and start reconstruction.
This shunting of much of the power to the internal region produces a feeling of less energy in the muscles, which the
mind interprets as some weakness. Ac tually, the power is increased, but most of it is being used for rebuilding the
more important organs and less of it is available for muscular work.
Any weakness which is felt here is not true weakness, but merely a redeploying of forces to the more import ant
internal parts.

RELAX FOR SUCCESS
Here it is important for the person to stop wasting energy, and to rest and sleep more. This is a crucial phase, and if
the person resorts to stimulants of any kind, he will abort and defeat the regenerative intent of  the body. It is impor -
tant that he have patience and faith and just wait it out, and after a while he will get increasing strength which will
exceed by far what he felt before he began the new program.
Success in recovery or improvement of health hinges upon the correct understanding of this point - realizing that the
body is using its main energies in more important internal work and not wasting it in external work invol -ving muscle
movements. Be wise, take it easy here and relax. Just coast in,. your work and social obligations until you're out of the
woods.

RETRACING - CLEANUP
Retracing: As one continues on the improved diet and gradually raises the food quality, interesting symptoms begin to
appear.
The body begins a process called retracing.
"Now w e have a chance to get rid or this old garbage and build a beautiful new house. Let's get started immediately.
Let's get this excess bile out or the liver and gall bladder and send it to the intestines for elimination. Let's get the
sludge moving out of th e arteries, veins and capillaries. These smelly, gassy, brain -stupefying masses have been
here too long - out with them!
These arthritic deposits in the joints need cleaning up! Let's get these irritating food preservatives, aspirins, sleeping
pills and dr ugs out of the way, along with these other masses of fat which have made life so burdensome for us for so
long.
Let's get going till the job is done - till we have a beautiful house - and from there on we'll keep it a beautiful ideal
model house."

CATABOLISM - ELIMINATION
During the first phase (called catabolism), the accent is on elimination, or breaking down of tissue. The body begins to
clean house. - In short, to remove the garbage deposited in all the tissues - everywhere. During this period. the body
removes the ashes from the furnace preparatory. So getting a better fire.
Here the accentuation is on removal of the gross and immediate body obstructions. Wastes are dis -carded more
rapidly than new tissue is made from the new food. This becomes evident as weight loss.

STABILIZATION
This persists for a while and is then followed by the second phase - called stabilization.

 copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648 -1500    www.drbass.com                                                7

Here the weight remains more or less stable. During this phase, the amount of waste material being discarded daily is
equal to the amount of tissue which is being formed and replaced by the newer, more vital food. This occurs after the
excess of obstructing material in the tissues has been removed.

ANABOLISM - BUILDUP
This state persists for a while and is then followed by a third phase - a build -up period called anabolism, wherein
weight starts to go up, even though the diet is lower in  calories than it was before. At this point, much or more of the
interferring wastes have already been discarded. -
The tissues which have been formed since the diet was raised in quality are more durable and do not break down
easily. Also new tissues are now being formed faster. This is due to the improved assimilation made possible by the
ceasing of wrong food combining.
The body's need for the usual amounts of food decreases, and we are able to maintain our weight and increased
energies with


	death.	If	your	doctor	prescribes	a	drug,
consider	that	it	may	cause	your	cells	to	malfunction,	and	that	alternatives	exist
that	are	both	safe	and	effective.
Even	aspirin	and	other	common	over-the-counter	drugs	are	dangerous,	so	findalternatives	that	work	for	you.	Books	such	as
Alternative	Medicine:	The
Definitive	Guide,
edited	by	the	Burton	Goldberg	Group,	and
Finding	the	Right
Treatment,
by	Jacqueline	Krohn,	M.D.,	and	Francis	Taylor,	M.A.,	are	excellent
resources	for	those	wishing	to	find	natural	alternatives	to	toxic	prescription
drugs.
Unfortunately,	when	drugs	cause	disease,	we	have	all	been	trained	not	to	call
it	disease.	Instead,	we	use	the	deceptive	term	“side	effects.”	In	1984,	the	drug
industry	attempted	to	obtain	a	legal	exemption	from	the	liability	laws	that	apply
to	virtually	all	manufacturers.	Why?	Because	even	the	people	who	make	the
drugs	know	they	are	not	safe;	“all	prescription	drugs	are	unavoidably	unsafe”
argued	the	Pharmaceutical	Manufacturers	Association.	Of	course,	this	wording
is	not	used	in	drug	advertisements	aimed	at	the	public.
A	hospital	patient	receives,	on	average,	twelve	different	drugs.	Yet,	often
when	as	few	as	three	are	prescribed,	absolutely	no	one	understands	all	the
dangerous	interactions	between	the	drugs.	Bad	enough	taken	one	at	a	time,
combinations	of	drugs	can	be	particularly	toxic.	Prescription	drugs	are	notorious
for	causing	many	adverse	effects	in	the	elderly,	including	memory	loss,
depression,	confusion,	constipation,	Parkinson’s	disease,	falls	and	urinary
incontinence.	All	too	often,	a	second	drug	is	prescribed	to	suppress	the
symptoms	caused	by	the	first,	then	another	to	suppress	the	symptoms	of	the	first
two,	and	so	forth.	Many	illnesses	of	the	elderly	really	are	manifestations	of
adverse	drug	reactions.	A	1991	study	in	the
Journal	of	the	American	Medical
Association
showed	that	14	percent	of	in-hospital	cardiac	arrests	followed	a
complication,	usually	because	of	a	medication.	Well-known	combinations	of
commonly	prescribed	drugs	can	kill,	and	alert	pharmacists	have	saved	many
lives.
Up	to	29	percent	of	all	hospital	admissions	are	caused	by	adverse	reactions	to
drugs,	according	to	a	1995	study	in	the
Archives	of	Internal	Medicine.
Many
reactions	result	in	liver	damage,	long	hospital	stays,	permanent	disability	and
even	death.	In	1990,	an	estimated	659,000	Americans	aged	sixty	years	and	older
were	hospitalized	due	to	adverse	drug	reactions.	In	addition	to	toxicity,	drugs
also	can	cause	deficiency	by	depleting	the	body	of	essential	nutrients.	Diuretics
cause	excessive	loss	of	potassium	and	other	essential	minerals.	Anticonvulsants
cause	loss	of	vitamin	D.	Antibiotics,	non-steroidal	anti-inflammatory	drugs	and
steroid	hormones	can	indirectly	cause	numerous	vitamin	and	mineral
deficiencies	by	causing	digestive	damage.	Because	of	the	complexity	of	the
human	organism,	predicting	the	effects	of	drugs	in	each	individual,	especially
with	combinations	of	drugs,	is	impossible.	Other	facts:•	A	January	1997	study	in	the
Journal	of	the	American	Medical	Association
stated	that	drug-related	morbidity	and	mortality	costs	more	than	$136
billion	a	year—more	than	the	cost	of	cardiovascular	disease,	our	leading
cause	of	death.
•	In	1995,	Duke	University	researchers	showed	that	drugs	commonly
prescribed	for	stroke	patients	actually	hampered	their	recovery.	Even	after	a
single	dose,	the	negative	effects	could	be	long-lasting.
•	A	1994	study	in	the
Journal	of	the	American	Medical	Association
concluded	that	inappropriate	and	potentially	dangerous	drugs	are	prescribed
for	one	in	four	older	Americans	every	year.
•	A	1994	study	published	in	the
Journal	of	the	National	Cancer	Institute
and
The	Journal	of	the	Federation	of	American	Societies	for	Experimental
Biology
warned	that	antihistamine	and	antidepressant	drugs	(including
Prozac)	contain	chemicals	known	to	accelerate	tumor	growth.	While	these
drugs	do	not	cause	cancer	directly,	they	can	speed	its	growth.
Three	Classes	of	Common	Drugs	Are	of	Special	Concern
Nonsteroidal	anti-inflammatory	drugs	(NSAIDs):
NSAIDs	include	over-the-
counter	drugs	such	as	aspirin,	ibuprofen	and	acetaminophen,	and	prescription
drugs	such	as	Indocin,	Feldene,	Naprosyn	and	others.	Use	of	NSAIDs	is	a
significant	national	health	problem,	causing	long-term	damage	to	large	numbers
of	people,	particularly	the	elderly,	who	are	the	largest	users	of	these	drugs.
According	to	data	published	in
Hospital	Practice
in	December	1996,	up	to	two
hundred	thousand	Americans	are	hospitalized	every	year	for	problems	caused	by
NSAIDs,	and	as	many	as	twenty	thousand	people	a	year	die	from	the	damage.
NSAIDs	usually	are	prescribed	for	a	noble	purpose,	to	relieve	pain,	and	they
are	among	the	most	commonly	pres-cribed	pharmaceuticals	in	the	world.	About
60	million	NSAID	prescriptions	are	written	every	year	in	America,	and	an
estimated	14	million	people	take	these	drugs	for	symptomatic	relief	of	arthritis
alone.	These	drugs	relieve	pain,	but	at	a	cost.	About	one	third	of	chronic	NSAID
users	experience	noticeable	gastrointestinal	discomfort,	which	is	only	the	tip	of
the	iceberg,	indicating	that	digestive	damage	is	occurring.	In	most	people,
NSAID-inflicted	damage	to	the	digestive	system	is	asymptomatic	(no	obvious
symptoms	to	warn	of	the	damage	being	done).	By	the	time	the	stomach	or	gut	is
in	pain	from	NSAIDs,	massive	damage	has	already	occurred.
Most	physicians	think	it	is	acceptable	for	people	to	take	NSAIDs,	believing
that	they	cause	minimal	and	acceptable	damage.	Virtually	everyone	who	takes
these	dangerous	drugs	has	their	health	damaged,	and	the	longer	they	are	taken,the	worse	it	becomes.	People	who	take	NSAIDs	for	arthritis	for	years	suffer
worse	joint	damage	than	those	who	take	nothing.	NSAIDs	have	been	linked	to
kidney	failure,	cognitive	dysfunction,	hearing	loss,	ringing	in	the	ears,	macular
degeneration	and	hormone	disruption.	Examples	include:
•	In	a	1992	study	published	in	the
Scandinavian	Journal	of	Rheumatology,
long-term	NSAID	users	were	hospitalized	six	times	more	often	than
nonusers.	Deaths	from	gastrointestinal	causes	occurred	twice	as	often,	and
half	of	all	patients	who	died	of	ulcer-related	complications	had	reported
recent	use	of	NSAIDs.
•	A	1996	study	in	the
Archives	of	Internal	Medicine
found	that	patients
taking	NSAIDs	were	four	to	seventeen	times	more	likely	to	suffer	acute
kidney	failure.

. There was a time
when I was in so much pain that just getting out of bed was torture, and walking
up the stairs left me ready to collapse and absolutely needing to lay down.
Reaching the peak of mountains around 4000M was something I would never
ever believe I could do ever again. With the results of omad orin looping this is
exactly what I have done again and plan on many more even higher expeditions.
Now I can do 600 full life salutes (burpies) in one hour. Believe me this is really
something that many people who consider themselves extremely fit could not
do. It’s only 10 per minute which doesn’t sound like much but try to keep this up
for an hour and you will see how impressive this is.
My previous best at the height of my fitness was 450 in an hour, and that was
when I was in my 20s when I was in heavy training. I always wanted to get into
the 500 club, and dreamed of the 600 burpies in an hour club. Back then my
training got overtaken by other things in life and I never thought I would get
back to it again. Now 20 years later I'm thinking about trying to get up to the 700
or even 800 club because of omad orin looping. This would have been absolutely
unbelievable to me just before I started omad orin looping. I couldn't even do
one push up let alone full burpies due to my poor health and constant pain. Now
I'm in the best shape of my life even got my beach bod and six pack abs back, I’m so full of energy and I now understand why. Most incredible change is that I
now get so much more enjoyment out of good food and drink. My overall joy out
of life has gone up and I have eventually found happiness. You can too, believe
me, this is the secret that you will learn from this book. If I can do it then you
definitely can. I'm nothing special; it’s the omad orin looping programme that is
something very special.
Chapter 1.
What is the omad Orin looping protocol? Omad stands for one meal a day. Orin is
better name for urine. Looping means you keep drinking it again and again,
round and round it goes getting cleaner and better every time. There is more to
the programme which I will cover later. I know this is shocking to most people
who are new to urine therapy, but it is absolutely true. Urine is not a waste
product at all, it is an excess good stuff product and we are supposed to be
drinking it.
This programme is based on nature’s principles. The body seems to like omad
orin looping more than anything else. Sure other diets and fads may work for you
in the short term, you may lose weight. You can make yourself thin by all sorts of
unhealthy ways. Just remember most heroin addicts are thin.
What I'm trying to say here is that finding a good healthy system that you can
make a lifestyle choice, an eating lifestyle that you will want to keep doing for
the rest of your life. None of these fads that work initially but then make you put
on even more weight and are more unhealthy after it’s finished.
Yes once you experience it you will want to continue. It will be something you
really want to do for the rest of your life.
No more serial dieting. No more juice fasts, or calorie counting. No more losing
weight only to find it all comes back and then some. No more needing to cut out
any food at all. You can eat whatever you like on omad. Obviously the better
choices will have better results. But the point is you don’t have to worry about
ingredients, absolutely anything is ok occasionally on this programme. This is
something that can be done long term, and you will enjoy it, you will not feel it’s
a sacrifice or hardship.
Keto diets and the like work in the short term, but the problem is if you ever go
back to eating carbs the body puts on even more weight. Same with juice fasts,
yes you lose weight but go back to normal eating and you put even more back
on. It’s too hard to keep going on these routines. But omad is not hard to keep
going and going for the rest of your life, because you can eat whatever you like
on omad, no need to refrain from any particular food. No need to worry about if
you go back to normal then you will put back on even more weight. This can be
your new normal for the long term. You can have as many cheat days as you like
as long as you follow the programme. It’s a tool you have forever. You can
indulge on holiday, enjoy any special occasion or party with good food and drink.This is the ultimate eating plan for the long term. It’s easy, enjoyable and it
works better than anything else.
I’m not completely against blending or juicing, far from it, they both have their
place. After many years of experimenting and experiencing both juicing and
blending I have come to the conclusion that any foods that are good for humans
to eat are great in a smoothie. I now think it's a bit of a waste to juice them and
throw away all the pulp. As for food that can’t be eaten and digested by humans,
then juicing the water out of it is a great idea. Especially in a survival situation, I
have a hand crank juicer in my emergency go bag. You can wring out pure water
from almost any green vegetation. Yes all grasses and leaves, as long as they
are not too dry. If you look out the window and can see greenery, trees bushes
anything, then yes it can be a supply of water for you in an emergency.
Even things that may be poisonous may (and I do mean may) be able to juice the
water out it and consume. There are always exceptions to every rule. But
something’s mildly poisonous that you certainly could not eat, are perfectly fine
to juice. The reason is because of what Dr Norman Walker discovered that most
of the toxins stay in the pulp and 95% of the goodness goes to the juice.
So I am not completely opposed to juicing, far from it. I have been juicing for
many years. I am however opposed to juice fast diets, which are not really
fasting, you don’t get the advantages of fasting and you can’t stay on only liquid
for the rest of your life. It can’t be done long term like Omad Orin Looping. As
soon as you go back to solid food you put back on even more weight than you
lost. I will go into the reasons for this later. So juicing can be good but I only
consume in my eating window and only really juice plants that can’t be eaten,
it’s a waste to juice really good fruit that you could eat or blend. I would rather
stick them in my smoothie and consume all the pulp as well. I have seen friends
in my local Waitrose buying a trolley full of organic fruit and veg, only to throw
90% plus of it away when they juice it all.
But I can see the logic, juicing fresh plants is very beneficial in many ways. Most
of the toxins stay in the pulp, and most of the goodness goes into the liquid. So I
have come to the conclusion that juicing plants that are not really edible for
humans is a great idea. Wheatgrass and other grasses and leaves are prime
examples; other animals have multiple stomachs and different digestive systems
to humans. We can't digest certain grasses and leaves by eating or even
blending them, but we can juice them and drink the juice. This is the second best
water in the universe after your own orin. This is not a waste to then throw away
the pulp because your body could not digest it properly anyway.
There are many advantages to juicing no doubt, but on omad you don't want to
start your digestive system off until you’re eating window. The four 1's rule
allows for one drink with you one meal. This could either be a large juice, or a
smoothie. Remember juice fasts where your drinking juice multiple times per day
will not get your human growth hormone and other amazing substances to
increase by thousands of percent, as you have when you don't start your
digestive system for over 20 hours a day. But to have your juice or smoothie once every 23hours will still increase your human growth hormone and
testosterone by hundreds to thousands of percent. At the same time reducing
cortisol and other undesirable hormones. Plus all the other advantages when
intermittent  fasting for 23hrs a day; your body can cleanse and heal to a full
extent without having to stop to process something every few hours.
If you compare a water only fast with juice fasting then the advantages of water
only is the digestive system has a rest and you don't need to come out of fasted
state every time you drink as you do with juicing. So water only fasting is
excellent, you still get the thousands of percent increase in beneficial hormones.
You still get the full extent of the body being in a fasted state which mean the
body can clean and repair, another way of saying cleanse and heal which is what
happens when in a fasted state.
But then you are not getting any nutrients at all with water fasting. With so
called juice fasts you


 fact, if you assume
that the mind arises from  the brain, which is the standard
working assumption in neuroscience, consciousne ss is just
an inference. Imagine an old-time player piano, the kind
that performed music by inserting a paper roll into the
mechanism. Punched holes in the paper roll activate the
keys, giving the appearance that an invisible pianist is
playing the “Maple Leaf R ag” or a Mozart sonata.
No one would propose that the piano roll manufactured
itself. There must be a musician whose actual intentions lie
behind the “invisible” pianist. We infer his existence
without seeing him. The same is true about the mind when
you observe the brain. As its quadrillion connections
activate, using chemical signals and faint electrical
charges, the vast activ ity of mind—thoughts, feelings,sensations, and images—appears. To claim that this
happens automatically seems strange, but it’s the
materialist position, while in Quantum Healing  I said the
opposite: An invisible intelligence, comple te with
intentions, desires, hope s, dreams, and so on, is at work.
The fact that you can’t see this entity, known as the self,
doesn’t prove that he doesn’t exist. It only proves that he
doesn’t exist  if you are a strict materialist, who will accept
nothing except physical phenomena.
The bulk of this chapter was devoted to the reality  of the
mind-body connection, which is unassailable now. Over the
past thirty years the network that transmits messages
throughout the body has been studied in much greater
detail, leaving no doubt that every thought, feeling, mood,
and belief crosses the bridge from mental to physical. But
these detailed researches into hormones,
neurotransmitters, immunomodulators, peptides, and
thousands of products expressed by genes has obscured
the simplicity of the mind-body connection.
In simple terms, the entire system is a feedback loop,
with only two factors to consider, input and output. Input
enters the brain, output  exits. This is the nexus where
every process, mental or physical, meets every other, like
trillions of train tracks converging on a train station and
then exiting the station  to go their separate ways. The
reason for simplifying the almost inﬁnite complexity of a
living mind and body comes down to practicalities. Each of
us wants to know the right and wrong kind of input that
will aﬀect us.
Positive Input
Pure food, air, and water
Positive emotions
Strong self -esteemLow stress, good coping skills in the face of stress
Moderate exercise
Good sleep (eight to nine hours every night)
Loving, supportive relationships
Inner contentment, lack of conﬂicts and tensions
Satisfying work
Meditation and other contemplative practices
Abstaining from alcohol, tobacco, and recreational drugs
Minimizing the use of prescription drugs
Healing old wounds and self-destructive conditioning
from the past
The reason that little or none of these things seem new is
that they don’t need to be. After decades of public
information about prevention and the rise of the wellness
movement, we know a great deal about positive lifestyle
changes (this isn’t the same as knowing all we need to
know about why these changes work). Input, positive or
negative, registers in every cell of the body, down to the
expression of your genes (that is, their complex chemical
output).
The ﬂy in the ointment is that information isn’t the same
as motivation. People may know what’s good for them, but
they continue to live otherwise. The most common kinds of
negative input remain a mainstay in the lives of people who
sincerely want to change, including overuse of alcohol,
tobacco, and drugs; eating processed and junk foods;
tolerating a high level of stress; going short on sleep;
taking little or no exercis e. The Gallup organization, which
surveys the wellbeing of populations around the world, has
a top catego ry known as “thriving.” These are the people
who describe  themselves  as happy, safe, ﬁnancially secure,
and healthy—in short, they are enjoying a level of wellbeing
that most Americans would consider a basic minimum. Yetthe percentage of people who are thriving around the world
is dismally low, often under 10–15 percent, and even in the
prosperous developed West, it rarely rises above 33
percent. The fact that the United States continues to
consume antidepressants and tranquilizers in record
numbers attests to our inner unease, and by some
estimates the abuse of prescription painkillers is now a
cause of death surpassing the total deaths from illegal
substances.
No amount of preaching about these things will work
over the long run. Prevention implies a level of fear, and
fear is a bad motivator except in short bursts. The body
resists being  in a state of chronic stress, and worrying
about your health is a form of stress. The only successful
long-term motivation is inspiration. It, too, can ﬂicker out
quickly. But there’s a secure kind of inspiration that comes
from valuing yourself with such conviction that you like and
enjoy the experience of giving your mind and body positive
inputs all the time.
When I wrote Quantum Healing  I wanted to give the
human side of the mind-body connection, realizing that a
term like feedback loop,  adopted from computers and
information theory, sound s cold and abstract. But the whole
game comes down to input-output in the end.
Without dwelling on the negative, let’s say that you’ve
had a stressful day. You feel wiped out by ﬁve o’clock, so
you grab a burger and fries instead of cooking at home. You
settle in with a drink or two to unwind. Your workload is
heavy, so you catch up by taking some of it home with you,
and by bedtime you ﬁnd your mind is still so active that
getting to sleep takes a while. Your alarm clock goes oﬀ at
the usual time the next morning, but you’ve managed only
six hours of sleep. No matter, it’s time to start the whole
routine over again. In the back of your mind you promise
yourself to do better, a promise you may or may not keep.Yet as normal as this daily routine has beco me for
millions of people, adap ting to it is a challenge  for the
human body, because as we now realize, each deviation
from a positive lifestyle registers at the cellular level.
Here’s a summary of what is happening. The consequences
of negative input are daunting.
What Negative Input Does
Disturbs overall balance, leading to inﬂammation.
Moves errati cally though  the body, obstructed by chronic
stress and the toxic debris of negative input from the
past.
Reinforces old neural pathways, making it much harder
to break bad habits.
Contributes to abnormal cell function, including
precancerous anomalies.
Weakens the immune system, impairing resistance to
disease.
Contributes to premature aging.
Creates a general sense of dullness, discomfort, and dis-
ease, the opposite of wellbeing.
Because Quantum Healing  focus ed on the drama of
spontaneous remissions from cancer—so-called miracle
cures—the bigger message might not have struck with
enough force. So let me state it in unmistakable terms:
Input is under your contr ol. Without antic ipating cancer or
any other disorder, your chief aim every day should be to
maximize positive input and minimize negative input.
We are badly in need of a new model for wellbeing. Most
people segment their lives into work, leisure, and family.
Little time is left for self-care. Yet caring for yourself today
is exactly what determines your life for decades to come.True self-care embraces a person’s entire life. Taking
charge of your own wellbeing reaches into every corner
because it has to. Your brain processes every experience,
physical, mental, and spiritual, as input. Look at the
contrast that self-care makes when compared  to self-
neglect.
10 Keys to Self -Care
1.Making happiness a high priority.
Versus:  Coasting along with our present state of
happiness and unhappiness.
2.Making sure your life has purpose and meaning.
Versus:  Focusing on daily practicalities, even those
that seem routine and meaningless.
3.Living according to a higher vision.
Versus:  Living for externals like a better job, more
money, a bigger house, etc.
4.Expanding your awareness in every decade of life.
Versus:  Viewing youth as the peak of life and old age
as a dwindling decline.
5.Devoting time and attention to personal growth.
Versus:  Staying the same as you always were and
feeling proud about it.
6.Following a sensible regimen of good diet and physical
activity.
Versus:  Eating a diet high in sugar, fat, and calories.
Promising yourself to exercise tomorrow, or next week.
7.Allowing your brain to reset by introducing downtime
several times a day.Versus:  Working your brain to the point of exhaustion
before allowing yourself to take a break.
8.Getting to know your inner world through meditation,
contemplation, and self -reﬂection.
Versus:  Avoiding what you really feel. Fearing what
you might ﬁnd if you dared

recognize	that	you	shouldn’t	necessarily	eat	the	same	meals	or	foods	during
every	month	of	the	year.	This	is	a	great	time	to	eat	lots	of	raw	foods	such	as
fresh	salads	and	fruit.
•
Drink	coconut	water,	which	is
hydrating	and	helps	to	replenish	electrolytes
and	minerals	that	you	lose	from	sweating.

10. SEX AND STALE FOOD
   In experimental work it sometimes happens that unsought but useful results are
stumbled upon by good fortune. This occurred in my arteriosclerosis work and an
important relationship between stale food and sex was found.
   The accompanying picture shows the results of feeding pasteurized homogenized
milk to roosters, which caused severe stunting of the male sex glands or testicles. The
small deformed and diseased glands on the left came from roosters fed the store milk, whereas the large powerful gland on the right came from a rooster fed new raw milk.
These results were typical of fifteen  roosters in each group, fed for a period of one
year starting with baby chicks. The store milk roosters did not develop big combs and
plumes, and some could hardly be distinguished from hens. They could not breed, and
were dejected spiritless birds. On the other hand, the male chicks receiving new raw milk grew rapidly into huge splendid roosters, fierce, powerful, and ready to fight or
breed on a second's notice.

   A few of the sex-inhibited roosters were  taken out of the experiment and given no
more milk. They recovered and became sexua lly active, but never reached the great
size and strength of the raw milk roosters.
   Similar testing was done with female ch ickens, and no sexual disturbances occurred.
The only outward difference was that the raw milk hens were a little larger and better
looking.
   All chickens male and female which were fed store milk had greatly enlarged livers
of a light yellow color and fatty texture, whereas the raw milk chickens had normal
wine-red livers. No noticeable arteriosclerosis occurred on either milk.    Other testing in later years revealed that male goats and rabbits also became
sexually deteriorated when fed mostly on stale food of any kind, not necessarily milk. Some of these male animals fed in confinement on commercial rabbit pellets or hay
and grain had infant sized sex glands even though full grown.
   Aside from actual deterioration of the sex glands, feeding of stale food was found to
depress sexual activity among even the normal goats of both sexes. Confined goats
fed hay and grain were dejected spiritless animals and very little breeding occurred.
But within a few weeks after feeding fresh vegetation daily, these unhappy animals would cheer up and Cupid's arrows begin to fly.
   These findings are really not surprising, for Nature has evidently set controls upon
sex to discourage pregnancy during periods of poor food supply. An animal, or human, becoming pregnant when food was very scarce or poor would probably lose
her baby, and might well lose her life too.
   These results correspond very well to conditions among modern people. The young
women nowadays seem much the same as always, but many boys do not reach the age
of puberty until nearly twenty, and a large number remain sexually undeveloped or
perverted. Many doctors and marriage counselors have published articles telling of the
great numbers of wives who are finding their husbands inadequate. Our young men are adopting feminine hair styles and clothes, lacking pride of manhood. Female sex
is flaunted on every side, and skirts are going higher and higher, in an attempt to
awaken failing male interest. Any such display in earlier times when men were normal would have caused a stampede. The birth rate in the western industrialized
nations is dropping, but is holding up or rising in more primitive lands where people
eat fresher food. Sex among modern people is becoming more and more a neurotic
frustrated fixation, rather than the wholesome and dynamic physical relationship
designed by Nature. Large numbers of modern youths are unhappy and neurotic, protesting against a civilization with which they are somehow dissatisfied. They are constantly seeking something, but are not sure what it is. What they really lack is the fresh food to complete the structure of their physical bodies, so they can attain the
powers which are their natural birthright. If these unhappy youngsters could receive
high quality fresh food for a year or so, most of them would turn out to be as normal
as could be desired.

11. MICROBES AND MAN
   As Dr. René Dubos of the Rockefeller Institute has so well put it, all around us is
the "Unseen World" of microbes, or germs if you will, the tiny microscopic forms of
life which swarm in uncountable billions in the soil, water, air, or vegetation and in
the bodies of men and animals. The bacteria, viruses, protozoa, algae, fungi, plankton, and so on exist in many thousands of different kinds throughout the world, and in both
gross weight and number of individuals far exceed all other forms of life. Humiliating
as it may be, we must face the fact that th e principal inhabitants of the earth and sea
are not men, not plants or animals, or fish but microbes.
   After such geniuses as Leeuwenhoek, Pasteur, Koch and others revealed microbes
to the world and demonstrated that they play a part in causing certain deadly diseases,
there was a wave of horror throughout the world, and we have been taught to have an unreasoning fear of all so-called "germs." But the work of many later scientists has
gradually shown that the picture is not all black, that the world of microbes has its
own checks and balances, that all forms of life have natural defenses against them,
and that many kinds of microbes are so beneficial that we could hardly live without them.
   For the general public, it is mainly necessary to know that the human body contains
clever systems designed by Nature to fight off microbes, and it is only due to these defensive powers which we all have that we are not invaded and killed by microbic
growth. Every breath of air, every mouthful  of food or drink contains microbic life;
our skin, body cavities, and intestinal contents swarm with them. Everyone from the baby in its crib to the king in his castle is fighting their own private battle against the
microbes which are constantly entering the body. Every second of our lives our
defenses are constantly checking and killing the microbes trying to use our bodies as a
free lunch counter and hotel. And likewise all the plants and animals are constantly under microbic attack.
   But the clever defense systems which Nature has given us cannot effectively operate
unless we give them the proper ammunition by eating good fresh food. History has shown and feeding experiments have confirmed that poorly nourished people and
animals eating stale or inadequate food fall easy prey to microbic infections of many
kinds. Famines are followed by epidemics, sailors and explorers eating stale food
sicken and die, and so on. My caged animals fed stale food suffered skin diseases, lost
their hair and teeth, had sore eyes, runny noses, respiratory infections, etc., and often
died. On the other hand, wild animals and primitive people living in rich areas and
eating fresh food have marvelous physiques and seldom suffer from microbic disease.
Likewise, my animals when fed fresh food stayed in beautiful condition and hardly
ever had infections, even when cut by accident or surgery.
   People eating good fresh food seldom suffer from common microbic infections such
as sore throat, infected tonsils, boils, colds, influenza, pneumonia, etc.
  12. TEETH AND STALE FOOD
   Dr. Weston Price found throughout the world that most people who were living on
primitive foods obtained by hunting, fishing, food gathering, and subsistence farming had fine straight teeth, large well develope d faces, all four wisdom teeth and little or
no tooth decay. On the other hand he found members of the same races living a little
nearer civilization so that they were eating store food usually had miserable teeth,
with narrow undersized jaws, crowded and crooked teeth, severe tooth decay, and
missing teeth. His studies included Eskimo s, New Zealanders and Australians both
white and black, Africans, Peruvian indians and whites, Canadian indians, Polynesians, Fijians, Swiss, Gaelic, and so on. In these various groups the native
foods ran the gamut from caribou meat to insects, fish, and seaweed. Somehow it
seems that Dr. Price did not quite perceive that it was simply the freshness  of the
native foods that made the difference, but his findings are none the less valid and significant.
   My experimental goats fed stale food frequently developed loose abscessed teeth
and lost some of them. The few young goats born during stale feeding of the mothers frequently had underdeveloped short lower jaws, looking like the chinless comic strip
character Andy Gump, as well as being weak and sickly.
   In tooth decay the teeth are attacked by microbes secreting a corrosive fluid which
eats away the tooth material so that the microbes can absorb it. The microbes are thus
"eating" our teeth. But when good fresh foods are eaten the body obtains the necessary substances to render our saliva toxic to microbes, so that tooth decay is
prevented.
   In most people a whitish mineral deposit known as dental tartar or calculus forms
around the bases of the teeth which has to be  scraped off by the dentist. It was a
surprise to find in my research that on the fresh food


 my
original house that bordered the pasture. We located
some of  the workers and ask ed what was going on. They
told us that they had purchased lumber rights to all the
trees on our neighbor’s property. Our neighbor to the
north was a thousand-plus-acre farm owned by a couple
named Wilbur and Juliet. They were wonderful people
whose house was on the far thest side of their propertyfrom the Temple. The land ha d been in their family for a
long tim e, and they had great respect for the property.
We didn’t understand what was going on, so we gave
them a call.
When I was finally able to reach Wilbur, he explained
that they were clearing what was left of their native forest
and planting slash pines. That would provide a cash crop
some fifteen to twenty years in the future. I told him I
would l ike to talk to him abou t it, and I asked if he would
be willing to h old off clearing the land bordering our
property until we met. He was hesitant but told me to tell
the fore man to  give him a call. In truth, I had no idea
what I would say to Wilbur when we met, but I felt a
deep obligation to do what I could to protect the
beautiful woods on that land.
As I drove over to Wilbur’s,  I focused on remaining
open an d receptive to the ex perience at hand so that I
could se e wher e life was taki ng it. As I look back now, I
am so grateful that surrender  had taught me to willingly
participate in life’s dance with a quiet mind and an open
heart.
When I arrived at Wilbur’s, there wasn’t any openness
to selling us t he thirty-five acres that lay between our
property and the stream. I explained to him that the
trees on that property were b eautiful, and they should be
spared. He agreed with the beautiful part, but he was
running a farm, and slash pines were what they had
decided to plant on the entire property. Our efforts
seemed futile until I offered to lease the property at
whatever price would assure that he earned more than
the pines would yield him. Wilbur was an astute
businessman, and that caugh t his attention. There was
risk in any cr op, but no ris k in a secured, long-term
lease. Wilbur named a price that was significantly higher
than a ny farmer would pay to lease unimproved
property. Nonetheless, it was still worth it from our
perspective of protecting the trees and pasture of thatbeautiful piece of land. In the  end, we signed a long-term
lease with Wilbur that allowed us to preserve, protect,
and hav e use of the property to our north—the property
that I had once called the Elysian Fields.
This experience only served to reinforce what I was
learning from my experiment with surrender. Something
that started out looking totally disastrous had ended up
with a positive result. Time a nd again I was seeing that if
I co uld handle the winds of the current storm, they
would e nd up blowing in som e great gift. I was beginning
to view these storms as a harbinger to transformation.
Perhaps change only takes place when there is sufficient
reason to overcome the inertia of everyday life.
Challenging si tuations create  the force needed to bring
about c hange. The problem is that we generally use all
the stirred-up energy intended to bring about change, to
resist change. I was learning to sit quietly in the midst of
the howling winds and wait to see what constructive
action was being asked of me.
If t hat were the end of the story regarding that
property, I would still label it a gift from the universe.
But it was far from the end. Just one week after signing
that lease, another piece of land came up for sale that
bordered the core of our community. Remarkably, once
we made that purchase, the land we had just leased
ended up running along the e ntire northern border of all
our property, thus tying everything together.
It left me breathless to see a ll this unfold the way it
did. I was playing a game with life, and every time life
made its move, a part of my  noisy mind fell away. Why
was I needed? Everything was unfolding on its own
much better than anything I could ever imagine—let
alone d o. I had said I would purchase adjoining property
if it were pres ented to me and if we had the necessary
cash. The Temple was now up to eighty-five acres,
including the leased land. A s we will see shortly, thisleased land was destined to play a much larger role in
what life had in store for us.
It was not just with the T emple property or the
meteoric succe ss of the business that miraculous events
were taking place. Little things were happening on a
regular basis that were so unlikely, they chipped away at
the rational mind. One of these amazing events took
place d uring a business trip to Boston in the late ’80s.
With so many Blue Cross B lue Shields private-labeling
The Medical Manager, I had received a request from Blue
Cross Blue Shield of Massa chusetts to come up for a
meeting. I arrived in Boston  late afternoon, and I was
starved. I had r ushed around all morning and not eaten a
thing all day. I nstead of eating junk food while traveling,
I figured I would get checked into the hotel and find a
nice vegetarian restaurant. I didn’t know Boston at all,
but I had a rental car, and how hard could it be?
I go t very lost  trying to find the restaurant that the
concierge had suggested. After close to an hour’s drive, I
ended u p in Harvard Square.  I drove around looking for
a vegetarian restaurant in th at area, but I couldn’t find
one. In  a big c ity like Boston, I had been hoping for a
high-end vegetarian meal. Now I would be perfectly
happy w ith just brown rice an d veggies. I decided to quit
driving around and just order room service from the
hotel—if I could find my way  back. Somehow I managed
to g et lost again  and ended up back in Harvard Square. It
dawned on me that perhaps the universe was trying to
tell me something, so I parked my car and got out.
This time I loo ked more carefully to see if there was
even a small place that might have something a
vegetarian could eat. I noticed there were some narrow
alleys th at ran  between the b uildings. They were not for
cars, but shops lined both sid es of the walkway. I headed
for one of the alleys and, lo and behold, fifty feet down
the alley was a small blackboard stating, “Today’s
Special: Brown Rice and Fresh Vegetables.” I hung myhead in both r elief and gratitude, but I would soon find
out that I hadn’t seen anything yet.
The sign  led to a narrow staircase that wound down to
a s mall restaurant. It was just perfect for the mood I was
in. I ordered, and a deep peace came over me as I
enjoyed the great meal that l ife had provided me. There
was one thing, however, that was disturbing my peaceful
respite. From the time I entered the restaurant, the man
behind the checkout counter kept staring at me. It was
enough to make me a little uncomfortable. When I was
done ea ting, instead of the waiter bringing me the bill,
the man from behind the counter brought it to me. As I
reached for my wallet, he ask ed me a question: “By any
chance, are you Mickey S inger?” I was completely
stunned as the unlikely sequence of events that brought
me to this restaurant flashed through my mind.
What in  the world was this? I didn’t know this person.
I responded affirmatively, and the energy between us
became intens ely spiritual. He said that I wouldn’t
remember him, but he remembered me. Back in 1972,
more than sixteen years ago, he was hitchhiking through
Gainesville, and I had picked him up in my VW van. He
had been going through a very difficult period in his life,
and he asked m e about the picture of Yogananda on my
dashboard. I explained to him that I was heavily into
yoga and was studying the t eachings of this great yoga
master. When he reached Atlanta, he was walking by a
bookstore and saw Yoganand a’s picture in the storefront
window. He went in and purchased a copy of
Autobiography of a Yogi  as I ha d encou raged him to do.
Apparently, it changed his life. He ended up meeting
Baba during the world tour a nd was now living in a yoga
center in Boston. He said he had often wondered if I had
ever met Baba; then he saw a picture of us together at
Disney World. It brought him great joy, and he prayed
that som eday he would have the opportunity to thank me
in pers on for the important role I had played in hisawakening. With that p rayer now miraculously
answered, he stood quietly before me with tears in his
eyes and uttered, “Thank you.” That said, he

 basically two types of cancer. First, the congestive or tumor types, which
deal with the lymphatic system—the body’s sewer. Second, the degenerative
type, in which the tissue or cell itself is dying and the immune system is
trying to eliminate these cells. This later type may
appear to be
 an “auto
immune” runaway, in which the immune cells start attacking themselves and
the normal cells of the body. But, as I will discuss later, there is little
understanding of the real purpose of this process within the allopathic
medical community today.
Both of these types of cancer and their causes are intertwined. We can see
this by looking at the congestive or tumor-type cancers. Congestion in the
body, as stated earlier, can be caused by dairy products, refined sugars,
chemicals, metals, foreign proteins, etc., all creating inflammation. In the
presence of inflammation, mucus is discharged from the mucosa as an anti-
inflammatory response. This mucus can accumulate if the lymphatic system is
stagnant, or if too much mucus is produced and the system becomes
overwhelmed. As this congestion develops, it blocks proper cellular
respiration. This, in turn, causes cellular weaknesses and cellular death. This
also causes further inflammation leading to additional cellular death. The
cycle of congestion and inflammation now starts a cycle of cellular decay,
opening the doorway to cancer.
As previously stated, this degeneration (or the killing of cells) results
from prolonged inflammation (acidosis). This acidosis is caused mainly from
what you eat, drink, breathe, and what you put on your skin. However,
cancer can develop from acidosis by the dominance of acid-type (catabolic)hormones (steroids) such as estrogen or testosterone. These types of
hormones or steroids, when unchecked by anabolic (anti-inflammatory)
steroids, which are produced in both the adrenal glands and the gonads, cause
additional inflammation. All this leads to tumor or fibrocystic formation and
the destruction of cells. Estrogen is one of the primary examples of a very
acidic/inflammatory-type hormone. When allowed to go unchecked by
steroids, estrogen eventually causes degeneration of tissue through
inflammation. Breast, uterine and ovarian cancers are the results of this.
Parasites and mutations are almost always involved with both types of
cancer. Parasites do not feed on healthy tissue, only tissue that has become
weakened or is dying. They definitely live and breed in “toxic waste dumps”
in lymph and lymph nodes. I think cells also release their own virus (protein)
when they become too weak to support life. These viruses and parasites cause
cells to mutate in response to the invaders. Your immune system is designed
to eliminate these types of cells. This is why we see an abnormal immune
response in the presence of cancer or any degenerative condition. As a matter
of fact, your immune system is designed to respond to
any
 type of invasion—
be it parasites, foreign proteins, which include your own weakened cells, and
any other pathogen that doesn’t belong or can cause harm to the body. This
would include acids from metabolism or digestion that can damage cells and
tissues.
Cancer doesn’t just suddenly appear. It used to take years to form tumors
or to degenerate tissue. However, with the pounds of chemicals and
hormones that most people consume each
week, tumors can grow within
months or even days. This is also true of hormonally-fed cancers. Hormone
imbalances are mainly due to chronic endocrine gland weakness, especially
weak adrenal glands.
The word and condition known as “cancer” was virtually unknown until
humans started playing with vaccines and toxic chemicals. Contaminated
vaccines have been blamed for many conditions that people now suffer from.
One such vaccine is the polio vaccine. As we’ve mentioned previously, in the
early to mid-1950s it was determined that polio vaccines manufactured in
monkey kidney tissue became contaminated with a monkey virus called
simian virus number 40. This virus is known as Sim-40 or SV40 and has
been proven to cause cancer in animals. It has also been linked to
mesothelioma (lung cancer) and multiple myeloma (bone marrow cancer).
This is just one vaccine. How many different vaccines have
you
 had? And
what are their side effects?Vaccination Facts
The FDA estimates that most doctors report only 1 to 10% of the injuries,
and/or deaths from vaccinations to VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event
Reporting System). This was set up as a central reporting agency to
oversee the side effects of vaccinations.
The health of hundreds of thousands of children and infants are
compromised each year from the 20 to 30 vaccinations that are
“required.” Some children suffer serious injuries, and some die as a
result.
Vaccinations have been linked to many cancers, and the sharp rise in
diabetes (especially juvenile), multiple sclerosis, Bell’s Palsy, vascular
disorders, arthritis, and other conditions.
The American Academy of Pediatrics knows of the toxic and horrific
side effects of vaccinations and
still
 recommends their prolific use.

As you weaken the cells in your body via foods, chemicals, vaccinations
and the like, your cells take on this weakness as their expression. This
happens the same way that you, in every moment, express yourself according
to the experiences you have and the memory of these experiences. Your cells
are no different. With each minute, hour, day … the strength or weakness of
each of your cells becomes a part of its memory patterns in DNA and
chromosomes.
At the moment of conception the condition of each cell and its memories
that are passed down to you become a part of your body, and thus determine
how your body functions and the conditions that it can experience. Since we
keep making our genetic condition weaker by continuing to wear down our
bodies through diet and lifestyle we are seeing a landslide of chronic cellular
and tissue weaknesses. We then pass them on to our children, who then pass
them on to their children. And with each successive generation, the cellular
patterns and functions become more chronic, causing disease symptoms to
appear now in infants. Through this process of genetic transmission we have
created frightening consequences.
Many allopathic doctors claim that cancer is an autoimmune disease.
However, I find this conclusion to be misleading, and commonly used as a
catch-all for the unawareness of the actual cause of disease processes. Your
body’s immune cells are especially designed to attack and consume weak,
mutant, dying or parasitically involved cells. This is especially true of thenatural killer cells (NK),including the T-cells (thymus) and B-cells (bone
marrow). These natural killer cells are much larger than the smaller
macrophages, neutrophils, basophils, etc., that do
basic body cleanup. We
have an army inside of us that is always active. This process is extremely
necessary for internal survival. The weaker a cell or tissue becomes from
inflammation, toxicity, or even genetics (and the parasitic response to these),
the more immune response will be needed. The increased elevation of white
blood cells is in response to all of the above, and especially to foreign
pathogens.
DETOX FOR CANCER PREVENTION AND CURE

It is vital to clean, strengthen, and thus regenerate your cells and tissues.
Detoxification is the process one must go through to accomplish this.
Detoxification naturally begins as you alkalize yourself through a raw food
diet. This process strengthens cells by removing the obstructions and acids
that cause inflammation and block nutrition to your cells. Detoxification
allows cells to gain nutritional energy and to properly eliminate their wastes
via cellular respiration. This then begins the rebuilding process within the
body.
It has been proven that diets high in animal protein are cancer causing.
Animal protein is acidic (inflammatory), putrefactive and congestive. The
congestive aspect is caused by the mucus, formed from its abrasive and
putrefactive aspects. The toxic chemicals, vaccinations, and hormones eaten
by or injected into these animals also create tissue toxicity within the body.
This causes your immune system to respond, causing inflammation. Meat
also causes a biochemical imbalance within your body. The high levels of
iron and phosphorous push out your calcium, magnesium, and other vital
electrolytes, which then weaken and dehydrate your body.
As you can see and imagine, one cannot treat cancer, which is created by
the above, with chemotherapy that acts on the body like Draino® acts on
your plumbing system, or burn it away with radiation (fire), either. Both of
these choices cause more cancer, or cause cancer to move (metastasize) to
areas where these therapies have destroyed or weakened the cells and tissues.
Radiation destroys the oxygen-carrying and utilization factors of a cell.
However, glucose can still enter through the cell membrane wall. This
eventually causes fermentation within a cell, and that cell will die from auto-intoxication. This creates a delayed response.
At first these treatments seem to reduce the tumor or stop the cancer. But
then watch out – cancer can explode throughout the entire body. Of course
this will invoke additional immune responses, creating the appearance of
“autoimmune problems.”
The bottom line in all cancers is overacidity/inflammation and the build-
up of cellular toxicity. Both lead to enervation or the loss of cellular energy
and function, thus the loss of systemic energy and health
