  Wording  and  the Application!  That  is
why  We  urge  you,  Precious  Ones,  to hold  closely  to the
OUTLINE,  which  I sanctioned  in the West  for your  Group
Activities.  Hold  closely  to the Books  and  the Application
they give  you;  because  that  carries  Our  Power  and  Action
into your  world,  which  will  bring  your  Freedom  most
quickly.
We are not trying  to deprive  you  of any  Individual  Ex-
pression  or anything  you  might  want  to do yourself;  but
We know  This  will  produce  the Quickest  Results  for you,
and that  is why  We  ask  you  to do it! You  are quite  Free 44 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES
to acquiesce  or not;  but it is because  We know  It is the Best
and Quickest  Means,  for you  to gain  your  Freedom  that
We have  asked  this,  and  no other  reason  in the  world!
Don't  make  any  mistake  about  that!
Because  the "I AM"  Students  will  not use the Violet  Con-
suming  Flame,  they  come  into  great  distress!  I tell  you,
Precious  Ones,  It was  released  for the  Freedom  of man-
kind.  It could  not harm  an unborn  infant  and  those  who
will not use It, will  not be Free!  Remember,  Beloved  Ones,
in your  attention  to your  Presence,  you  are AUTOMATI-
CALLY  releasing  Tremendously  Greater  Energy  than  you
did, before  you  knew  you  had  an "I AM  Presence."
Some  of you  still  do not FEEL  your  Ability  to release
These  Powers  from  your  Presence  to set you  Free.  Even
NOW  you—are  releasing  an hundred  fold  Greater  Power
and Energy,  than  you  did before  you  knew  This  Presence
three  years  ago!  That  is why  We plead  with  you,  Precious,
Precious  Hearts,  to hold  firm  in your  feeling;  because  as
this Greater  Energy  comes  forth  thru  you  and  into  your
world,  if you  continue  to charge  it with  discord,  don't  you
see, it becomes  tremendously  more  destructive ? You  cannot
help  it! It is the Law  of your  Life,  when  you  give  attention
to your  Presence,  Greater  Energy  has to flow  thru.  It is not
a matter  of anybody's  choice,  but  It is the Law  of your
Being!  It has  to come  thru!  Then,  think!  If you  continue
to qualify  it with  discord,  don't  you  see how  much  more
powerful  it becomes,  to act in your  world ?
That  is why  people  are constantly  swamped  with  dis-DISCOURSE  VIII  45
cord  in their  minds  and  bodies;  because  for one  reason  or
another,  they  have  charged  this  Energy  with  discord  or
unkind  feeling!  Precious  Ones,  can't  you  believe  Me,  when
I ask you  please  to not allow  suspicion  to begin  to act in
your  world;  or about  persons,  places  or conditions.  Please
do not do it! Suspicion  becomes  self-destruction!  Don't  do
it, if you  want  to be Free.  Don't  care  what  the other  person
is doing!  YOUR  PART  IS TO  HARMONIZE,  BEAU-
TIFY  AND  PERFECT  YOUR  OWN  WORLD,  IN
YOUR  CALL  TO  THE  PRESENCE;  AND  LET
EVERY  OTHER  ONE  TAKE  CARE  OF  HIS  OWN
WORLD;  except  to call  the "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  to
bless  all mankind  and  that  is the Greatest  Thing  you  can
do!
We want  to make  this  so clear,  so definite,  so plain  to
you this time;  that  never  again,  can anything  in the world
trip you  up and  cause  you  to become  confused.  The  Per-
fection  of the "I AM  Presence"  is before  you,  Beloved  Ones;
and We  are  willing  to the  very  limit,  the  Law  of your
Being  permits,  to give  you  Assistance  unknown  and  un-
permitted  in the history  of the Earth.
During  the time  the Messengers  are here  in this  Class,
won't  you  tell all of these  blessed  ones,  they  are welcome  to
the class,  if they  wish  to come ? Tell  them  to forget  every-
thing  which  has  disturbed  them;  and  receive  the Blessing
which  We  want  to give  them.  They  will  have  great  cause
to rejoice  if they  will;  because  unless  Sufficient  Harmony
can be established  in New  York  this  time,  We cannot  come 46 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES
again.  The  Messengers  and  We  are pouring  forth  all the
Love  at Our  Command,  to bless  and  draw  to Our  Radiance
those  who  wish  to have  It; and  only  Love  and  Kindness
will ever  go forth  from  the  Messengers  to every  one,  re-
member  It!
Does  this  sound  strange  to you ? Until  We  meet  in Our
Octave  where  We dwell,  remember:  As you  go forth  from
this room  tonight,  you  are a Part  of Myself!  Don't  make
any mistake  about  that!  I mean  exactly  Those  Words!  My
Ray of Light  has  gone  forth  and  anchored  in each  one  of
your  Hearts!  Therefore,  you  have  become  a Part  of Me!
Will  you  accept  that  and  keep  yourself  reminded  of It?
Then,  as you  do so—refuse  any  longer  to accept  any  dis-
cordant  appearance,  as having  power  to disturb  you  or act
in your  world.
If you  will  do this,  then  My  Ray  of Light  and  Energy
which  has gone  forth  into  your  Heart,  will  do Its Mighty
Work  for you;  and  I am sure  there  is not one in this  room,
who  does  not feel My Immeasurable  Power  of Divine  Love,
flood  each  one's  world,  Being  and  body!  I am sure,  there
is not one  who  does  not feel  It definitely.  That  shall  con-
tinue  to act within  you,  Oh Precious  Ones;  and  Oh,  Our
Love  is so Great,  so very  Wonderful,  and  is the Eternal
Power  of the Universe  acting  within  you!
May  I remind  you  in preparation  for the Class,  remember
Beloved  Ones,  when  you  call your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence
into action,  It knows  no resistance  nor  interference  of any
kind!  Therefore,  It goes  forth  with  the Power  of the Uni-DISCOURSE  VIII  47
verse  to fulfill  your  requirements.  Do you  see then,  how
your  earnest  sincere  effort  could  not fail in any  way ? It is
the Supreme  Opportunity  of all your  human  pilgrimage
upon  Earth!
You know,  Beloved  Ones,  if I were  a human  Being,  you
might  accuse  Me  of sounding  egotistical;  but  you  know
better  than  that!  A Being  of Light,  Perfection  and  Freedom
does  not have  those  qualities  existing  within  Him  or Her.
Therefore,  when  I say to you,  the Great  Power  of My Love
is anchored  within  your  Heart,  I mean  it literally  and  phys-
ically,  as


-identical, but it converts to a different hormone.
Progesterone cream has to be applied to areas where the
skin is thin so it is absorbed into the bloodstream, not intofatty tissue. The best place is the inside (not the outside) of thewrist area and lower forearm. Another site could be the upper92 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  chest (but not the breast). It should never be applied to the
abdomen or thighs.
The prescription should read: “Progesterone 100 mg/ ¼
tsp. Apply ¼tsp BID [twice a day].” I recommend using it
twice a day, every day, morning and evening.
Some women experience tenderness of the nipples when
they first start progesterone, since there are many progesteronereceptor sites around the nipples. If this occurs, lower thedosage to
⅛tsp, and later increase to a ¼tsp dose as the
tenderness diminishes.
Some women experience menstrual bleeding after starting
progesterone. Progesterone does not cause bleeding, but it does“heal” the uterus, that is, it prepares the uterus for menstrualperiods or for pregnancy. The only hormone that causesmenstrual bleeding is estrogen, and if estrogen levels are highenough when a woman starts progesterone, bleeding mayoccur. But this too will pass after one or two months.
THE TREATMENT OF ESTROGEN
DOMINANCE
Prior to menopause, all symptoms related to an over-production
of estrogen, which include menstrual cramps, breast tenderness,PMS, migraine headaches, mood swings, and asthma, can beeliminated using natural progesterone. The dosage in this case isthe same as for menopause: 100 mg/
¼tsp twice a day. For those
patients who feel more comfortable mimicking how the bodynaturally produces hormones, they can skip the progesteronecream the first seven to ten days after their cycle starts. In fact,this is necessary for those women wishing to get pregnant.93 HORMONES FOR WOMEN  FERTILITY
One of the areas, I believe, where modern medicine’s tragic
lack of hormonal knowledge is demonstrated is in the field offertility. Please note the following:
1. The number one reason why women fail to get
pregnant or have trouble getting pregnant is alow progesterone level.
2. The number one reason why women have mis-
carriages is a low progesterone level.
3. The only reason women experience nausea when
they are pregnant is a low progesterone level (thenausea is actually caused by estrogen).
4. A frequent cause of premature birth is a low
progesterone level.
5. The only cause of postpartum depression, also
known as the “baby blues,” is a drop in proges-terone levels.
For women who want to be pro-active about their
problems with fertility, conception. and maintaining theirpregnancies, natural progesterone is often the answer. Forthose who wish to avoid the expense and pain of in vitrofertilization, why not try natural progesterone?
The uterus requires progesterone for the fertilized egg to
implant. It requires progesterone to sustain the pregnancy.Cramps, PMS, and breast tenderness with the monthly cycle—all are classic symptoms indicative of low progesterone levels.Taking natural progesterone not only eliminates these symp-toms but it “heals” the uterus, which allows pregnancy to occur.94 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  In cases where conception is desired, I recommend the
same dosage of progesterone:100 mg/ ¼tsp twice a day, applied
topically to the inner forearm or wrist. Using this daily for twomonths gives the uterus a chance to fully “heal” and be wellprepared for a pregnancy. At the onset of the third cycle, theprogesterone can be stopped for ten days and then restarted. Ifthe woman becomes pregnant, she should increase the amountof progesterone (to support the pregnancy) as soon as she knowsconception has occurred. This is best done with a vaginalprogesterone suppository, in a dose of 400 mg twice a day,which must be maintained for at least four months. It shouldbe used frequently enough to prevent nausea. Around thefourth or fifth month, the placenta starts pouring out proges-terone, so the woman can discontinue the cream, but it may bewise to continue it through the whole pregnancy.
/Eswashvery person’s hormone pattern is unique;
there is no one-size-fits-all dosage.
In my view, using high dosages of progesterone after
becoming pregnant offers three exceptional benefits:1) no feelings of nausea, 2) prevention of miscarriage, and3) a highly intelligent, usually very happy baby. Progesteroneis particularly important for brain function development.In this regard, it is my feeling that premature infants mightalso benefit from progesterone, since they are prematurelydeprived of the normally high levels of progesterone put outby the placenta in the final weeks of pregnancy.95 HORMONES FOR WOMEN  PERI/POSTMENOPAUSAL REPLACEMENT
OF ESTROGEN
My approach to hormone replacement for women is admittedly
different from most others. My mother died of breast cancerand had been on estrogen therapy, so I have reason to doubtthe rationale for estrogen replacement. However, my recom-mendations are based soundly on medical logic, somewhat onintuition, and a lot on personal experience with thousands ofpatients. In the remainder of the chapter I discuss variousaspects of hormone replacement for women and explain myapproach to each one.
EARLY TESTING FOR HORMONE LEVELS
T esting hormone levels and starting a woman on bio-identical
hormones while she is in perimenopause helps ease her transi-tion into menopause, a time when her body’s chemistry isshifting.  If a woman is still having periods, the ideal time todo a panel is about seven days prior to the onset of her cycle.If her menopausal symptoms are mild, I will have her startusing a progesterone cream, possibly testosterone cream, andpossibly DHEA. My preferred approach is to try to eliminatesymptoms like hot flashes or night sweats without using estro-gen. (As we saw earlier, a reduction in estrogen as well as otherhormones triggers the pituitary to release luteinizing hormone,which seems to be the cause of hot flashes.)
If symptoms are severe, however, I will add BiEst cream
(a combination of 20% estradiol and 80% estriol) at a dosageof 1.25 mg/
¼tsp. This can be applied to the skin once or
twice a day. As soon as the symptoms abate, I recommendgradually decreasing the dosage. The eventual aim is to stopthe hormone if possible. Remember, that in my approach the96 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  woman is also using progesterone cream, which protects her
against the negative effects of estradiol.
Women never stop making estrogen. It continues to be
manufactured by their fat cells, skin cells, and the adrenalglands even after menopause. The majority of women I havetreated have not required it. However, there are women whofeel better with the replacement of estrogen.
For women who do not have a major problem with hot
flashes but do have vaginal dryness, I also prescribe estriolcream, 2.5 mg/
¼tsp, along with a vaginal applicator. This is
applied intra-vaginally on a daily basis until the dryness isgone, then it is used perhaps once a week or once every otherweek, depending on dryness.
FOR WOMEN ON ESTROGEN
As far as I can decipher, the primary clinical necessity for
replacing estrogen is to achieve levels of estrogen high enoughfor a woman to get pregnant. Such high estrogen levels offerno other benefits to the human body that I am aware of.
When a woman takes high levels of replacement estrogen,
especially for a number of years, the pituitary is tricked intothinking she is still trying to get pregnant. Stopping estrogenat this point often results in severe hot flashes and night sweats.Very often, coming off Premarin is like detoxing from heroin.In these cases my approach is to maintain estrogen usage butchange to a natural bio-identical estrogen in the form of BiEstcream 1.25 mg/
¼tsp, used twice a day to start, then gradually
trying to wean off of it.
The BiEst cream, of course, is taken in conjunction with the
natural bio-identical formulations of other hormones that mightbe needed, such as progesterone, DHEA, and testosterone.97 HORMONES FOR WOMEN Let me repeat: Women never stop making estrogen—
though admittedly, they do not continue making high enoughlevels to become pregnant. If getting pregnant is a woman’sgoal even though she is menopausal, then she should followthe advice of Suzanne Somers’ physician and take high levels ofestrogen. Of course, since there are no eggs left, gettingpregnant might be tough.
It has been my observation that women who are thin are
more likely to benefit from or require estrogen replacement,because they have fewer fat cells to produce it. Women who areover-weight are generally loath to take it because, in most cases,giving them any type of estrogen, whether synthetic or bio-identical, creates fat and prevents them from losing


  is the root word in communication, reminding us that to
communicate with another person isn’t to pass on information. It is to draw
another into union with yourse lf. Women tend to have a more intuitive
grasp of how communication works, for both positive and negative reasons.
On the positive side girls are typically taught from a young age to valuebonding, especially on an emotional level, whereas boys are typically
taught to compe te. In a competi tive situation, silence is often equated with
power. On the negative side, women often don’t expect to have power;
therefore, they can “afford” to expose their feelings and inner conflicts. By
contrast, if a man in power communicates too much of his inner fears,
insecurities, or conflicts, his right to power may be questioned.
These social expectations have a large influence on relationships. A man
may sincerely feel that he has nothing to say about his feelings, and
conversely that women don’t talk reasonably about situations. A woman
may feel “stupid ” when what she has to say is consistently emotional, and
she may conversely feel that the absence of emotional communication from
men means that they are stronger. In Dana’ s story, communication was
confined by the rules of the Cinderella fairy tale. Dana couldn’t easily
express anything outside the boundaries of the story of a working woman
meeting a prince and being carried off by him to great heights of wealth and
power. Stephen’ s vision of what was going on took preceden ce over her
perceptions, reflecting both a breakdown in communication and a loss of
equality.
By the time two people are marr ied, they both know the limits of what to
expect from each other in terms of equality, sensitivity, and communication.
By establishing these factors in the courtship phase, you find out what you
are getting into before limits are drawn.
If you find yourself in a long-s tanding relationship, think back to your
courtship days. Ask yourself what you wanted from a mate back then and
compare it with what you have. Inevitably you will find that equality is
something you both can work on, sensitivity can always be made deeper,
and communication must be worked at every day. Keeping these  alive is the
basis for spiritual growth together, whether you have only just emer ged
from infatuation or have been married for years.
INTIMACY :
THE INNOCENCE OF DESIRE
The issue hovering over intimacy, the next phase of romanc e, is desire.
Desire is a driving force behind love, but it isn’t the same as love, andwhere the two diver ge, many conflicts arise. The ancient Sansk rit word for
desire is Kama, made famous by the book of erotic lore called Kama Sutra,
the “teaching about desire.” But Kama  is a much broader term; it applies to
desires or wishes of every kind.
A formula I learned in my childhood in India, inherited from the ancient
scriptures, holds that life is perfected by achieving four things: Artha,
Kama, Dharma, and Moksha. Artha is wealth, kama is the fulfillment of
one’s desires, dharma is right livelihood or work, and moksha is the
liberation of the soul.
On the path to love, all four aims of life get fulfilled, and this is where
issues arise, since it is still difficult for many people to accept that desire is
legitimate. Desire remains tainted with implications of selfishness and
“lower” drives. The one place in our lives where most of us feel free to
express kama is romance. The erotic longing that is part of romantic love
inspires every lover to merge with the beloved; this is the natural
consummation of attraction between two people.
The great Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore wrote delicately erotic
verses in his adolescence, and one says,
Leaving their homes, two loves have made a pilgrimage to the confluence of lips.
In the law of Love, two waves have swelled, breaking and mingling on two lips.
This may seem like a chaste poem comparing two lovers to religious
devotees making  their way, as Indian pilgrims are wont to do, to the sacred
confluence of two holy rivers. If you understand Tagore’ s original Bengali,
however, you would know that the word for confluence is the same as the
word for the act of making love. Now the poem seems almost sacrilegious,
when in fact it is an unembarrassed blending of flesh and spirit. In the West
we might say that the sacred has met the profane, except that to Tagore, and
for anyone who has fallen deeply in love, the profane is sacred.
The insights of the intimacy phase pertain to the union of flesh and spirit:
Fulfillment is natural and not to be ashamed of.
Ecstasy is a state of the soul transmitted thr ough the body.
Union consists of two people opening to the same Being.These insights are based on approaching desire without guilt or
inhibition. In traditional cultures, however, sexual consumma tion wasn’ t
permitted immediately after two people fell passionately in love, out of a
belief that desire should be postponed. There were many reasons for
imposing a waiting period, but one was the belief that love and desire are
not compatible. Either desire is of the flesh and therefore sinful or else it is
a prize not to be given by a woman until the union is signed  and sealed
through marriage.
Today, in modern society, the consummation of desire comes early,
awaiting nothing but the consent of a man and a woman. Courtship is not
nearly as bound by convention as in the past; it can be as long or as short as
two people want. However, this doesn’ t mean that the issue of desire has
been resolved. Emotional residu es linger from the traditional view, which
by holding out a woman’ s virginity as a sacred prize had a built-in conflict.
You cannot say that desire is sinful while at the same time holding out
sexual fulfillment as a prize. Why would love ever accept a sin as its prize?
Traditional religious teaching has blinded us to the fact that flesh and
spirit are two poles that belong together. Romantic love is undeniably
sexual; yet it contains the potential for great spiritual experiences. The
beauty of sensuality has its own spiritual significance witho ut resort to
“higher” values. An ancient Sanskrit text exults in the joy of intimacy:
When we have loved, my love,
Panting and pale from love,
Then from your cheeks, my love,
Scent of the sweat I love:
And when our bodies love
Now to relax in love
After the stress of love,
Ever still more I love
Our mingled breath of love.
The frankness of this declaration of passion is refreshing, for it reminds us
that the spiritual union of lovers isn’t separate from the sweat and mingled
breath of sexuality.
Sex allows you to blend the needs of the self with the fr eedom of the Self.The word kama  is used to describe not just sexual desire but the desire to
be unite d with God. By implica tion this is the same kama that makes you
want to be united with your Self. If you could listen to the voice of spirit at
every moment, you would hear that your divine nature longs for you as you
long for it.
A N EW INTIMACY :
INTIMACY WITH THE  SELF
What raises romantic love above lesser pleasures is that it stirs our deep
erotic natures. This is yet anothe r source of anxiety for modern people, who
are obsessed by sex without being willing to lose control, without being
able to surrender to real passion.
Passion must contain surr ender in or der to be authentic.
But surrender to what? To the conver gence of all the aspects  of your
being that need to flow into the erotic moment. Physical sensual ity, spiritual
ecstasy, erotic flowering—when all these conver ge, the sexual act becomes
sacred, and what is sacred contains the deepest pleasure. Thousands of
years ago, Lord Shiva murmur ed to his consort, “While being caressed,
sweet princess, enter the caress  as everlasting life.” This remai ns the ideal
of intimacy.
Because intima cy is now so totally identified with the sexual act,
fulfillment has become confused  with performance. Orgasm is pursued with
a devotion that would put most religious zealots to shame. The assumption
for a long time was that men are most anxious about their ability to
perform, but now that nonor gasmic women have become more frank and
open about their predicament, it appears that the anxiety is fully shared.
Intimacy in the physical sense is usually taken to be the same as having
an orgasm. But no matter how exciting it is, an orgasm is a sensation
centered in the ego. True intimacy is shared self-expression. For a man to
be intimate with a woman, both have to be able to release themselves into
the special state that orgasm brings, even though they cannot literally share
the same sensat ions. Orgasm isn’t a fixed thing. For some people it is a
release, for others an opening, for still others a contraction. In all cases,though, there is a shift of experience that is not only pleasurable but in some
way deeply transforming. Spiritual masters tell us that the state of
enlightenment, which is totally free, ecstatic, and unbounded, is


a man is silently re-senting his wife and is full of hostilit y toward her,
he is unfaithful.
He is not faithful to his marriage vows, which are to love, c herish,
and honor her all the days of his life.
The man who is brooding, bitter, and resentful can swallow his
sharp remarks, abate his anger, and he can go to great lengths to be
considerate, kind, and courteous. He can deftly skirt the differe nces.
Through praise and mental effort, he can get out of the habit of
antagonism. Then, he will be able to get along better, not only with his
wife, but with business associates also. Assume the harmonious state,
and eventually you will find peace and harmony.

 153  •The great mistake
A great mistake is to discuss your marital problems or  diffi-culties
with neighbors and relatives. Suppose, for example, a wife s ays to the
neighbor, “John never gives me any money. He treats my mother
abominably, drinks to excess, and is constantly abusive and insulting.”
Now, this wife is degrading and belittling her husband in the eyes  of
all the neighbors and relatives. He no longer appears as the i deal
husband to them. Never discuss your marital prob-lems with any one
except a trained counselor. Why cause numer-ous people to think
negatively of your marriage? Moreover, as you discuss and dwell
upon these shortcomings of your husband, you are actually creating
these states within yourself. Who is thinking and feeling it? You are!
As you think and feel, so are you.
Relatives will usually give you the wrong advice. It is us u-ally
biased and prejudiced because it is not given in an im-per sonal way.
Any advice you receive which violates the golden rule, which is  a
cosmic law, is not good or sound.
It is well to remember that no two human beings ever lived be neath
the same roof without clashes of temperament, periods of hurts and
strain. Never display the unhappy side of your mar-riage to your
friends. Keep your quarrels to yourself. Refrain from criticism  and
condemnation of your partner.
• Don ’t try to make your wife over
A husband must not try to make his wife over into a second edition
of himself. The tactless attempt to change her in many ways i s foreign
to her nature. These attempts are always foolish, and many time s
result in dissolution of the marriage. These attempts to alt er her
destroy her pride and self-esteem, and arouse a spirit of con trariness
and resentment that proves fatal to the marriage bond.
Adjustments are needed, of course, but if you have a good look
inside your own mind, and study your character and be-havior, you
will find so many shortcomings, they will keep you busy the res t of
 154  your Me. If you say, “I will make him over into what I want,” you are
looking for trouble and the divorce court. You are asking for miser y.
You will have to learn the hard way that there is no one to cha nge but
yourself.
• Pray together and stay together through steps in prayer
The first step: Never carry over from one day to another
accumulated irritations arising from little disappointments. Be sure to
forgive each other for any sharpness before you retire at night. The
moment you awaken in the morning, claim infinite intelligence is
guiding you in all your ways. Send out loving thoughts of peace,
harmony, and love to your marriage partner, to all members of  the
family, and to the whole world.
The second step: Say grace at breakfast. Give thanks for the
wonderful food, for your abundance, and for all your bless-ings. Make
sure that  no problems, worries, or arguments shall enter i nto the table
conversation; the same applies at dinnertime. Say to your wif e or
husband, “I appreciate all you are doing, and I radiate love and good
will to you all day long.”
The third step: The husband and wife should alternate in praying
each night. Do not take your marriage partner for granted. Show y our
appreciation and love. Think appreciation and good will, rather than
condemnation, criticism, and nagging. The way to build a peaceful
home and a happy marriage is to use a foundation of love, beauty,
harmony, mutual respect, faith in God, and all things good. Read the
23rd, 27th, and 91st Psalms, the 11th chapter of Hebrews, the 13th
chapter of I Corinthians, and other great texts of the Bibl e before
going to sleep. As you practice these truths, your marriage w ill grow
more and more blessed through the years.

 155  • Review your actions
1. Ignorance of mental and spiritual laws is the cause of all  marital
unhappiness. By praying scientifically together, you stay together.
2. The best time to prevent divorce is before marriage. If you learn
how to pray in the right way, you will attract the right mate for you.
3. Marriage is the union of a man and woman who are bound
together by love. Their hearts beat as one, and they move onward,
upward, and Godward.
4. Marriage does not bequeath happiness. People find hap-piness by
dwelling on the eternal truths of God and the spiritual values of life.
Then, the man and woman can con-tribute to each other’s happiness
and joy.
5. You attract the right mate by dwelling on the qualities and
characteristics you admire in a woman or a man, and then your
subconscious mind will bring you together in divine order.
6. You must build into your mentality the mental equivalent of  what
you want in a marriage partner. If you want to attract an  honest,
sincere, and loving partner in life, you must be honest, sincere, an d
loving yourself.
7. You do not have to repeat mistakes in marriage. When you really
believe you can have the type man or woman you idealize, it is  done
unto you, as you believe. To believe is to accept something as t rue.
Accept your ideal companion now mentally.
8. Do not wonder how, why, or where you will meet the mate you
are praying for. Trust implicitly the wisdom of your subconsc ious
mind. It has the “know-how,” and you don’t have to assist it.
9. You are mentally divorced when you indulge in peeves, grudges,
ill will, and hostility toward your marriage partner. You are mentally
dwelling with error in the bed of your mind. Adhere to your marriage
vows, “I promise to cherish, love, and honor him (or her) all the days
of my life.”
 156  10. Cease projecting fear patterns to your marriage partner. Project
love, peace, harmony, and good will, and your mar-riage will grow
more beautiful and more wonderful through the years.
11. Radiate love, peace, and good will to each other. These
vibrations are picked up by the subconscious mind resulting in  mutual
trust, affection, and respect.
12. A nagging wife is usually seeking attention and apprecia-t ion.
She is craving for love and affection. Praise and exalt her many good
points. Show her that you love her and ap-preciate her.
13. A man who loves his wife does not do anything unloving or
unkind in word, manner, or action. Love is what love does.
14. In marital problems, always seek expert advice. You would no t
go to a carpenter to pull a tooth; neither should you discuss your
marriage problems with relatives or friends. You should go to a

15. Never try to make your wife or husband over. These at-tempts
are always foolish and tend to destroy the pride and self-est eem of the
other. Moreover, it arouses a spirit of resentment that prove s fatal to
the marriage bond. Cease trying to make the other a second edit ion of
yourself.
16. Pray together and you will stay together. Scientific prayer sol ves
all problems. Mentally picture your wife as she ought to be, j oyous,
happy, healthy, and beautiful. See your hus-band, as he ought to be,
strong, powerful, loving, harmoni-ous, and kind. Maintain this mental
picture, and you will experience the marriage made in heave n, which
is harmony and peace.

PHOTOGRAPHIC DOCUMENTARY
On the following pages you will observe t he very unusual results we have obtained from the Ultimate Tissue Cleansing Program.
Please note that these specimens are not all from the same body, but represent the flushings from several individuals. If a
photograph was ever worth a thousand words, sur ely these are, for they speak for themselves. I have not experienced any other
method that can consistently and as thoroughly match this one in results. This is truly a major step forward in the battle to
overcome toxemia and autointoxication.
On the first  three pages you will see the results of the 7 -Day Cleansing Program as it reversed a stubborn case of ulcerated feet and
ankles. For more details, please refer to page 112, Chapter 9, Patient 1 in our case histories.
On all three pages, the first photo wa s taken on Day 1 of the treatment; the second photo was taken on Day 4; and the third photo
was taken on Day 7 of the cleansing program. The results are remarkable.
On the following pages, you will witness the shocking effluence as it was gathered from the  colema flushing. Who would guess
that such things could accumulate inside the human body? Could this substance be the source of disease, illness and poor heal th?
This accumulated material ranged from jelly -like to hard as truck tire rubber; clear to black  as tar; fresh to morbidly old; fragments
to 3- and 4 -foot long ropes, and all with the odor that only speaks of very rotten things. Notice the mucus lining taking the shape of
the bowel, complete with haustrations, striations, strictures and diverticula. This is truly an amazing phenomenon. Please note that
these specimens are not all from the same body, but represent the flushings from several individuals.

DINNER. Raw salad, two cooked vegetables, one protein and a broth or health drink if desired. Cooked vegetables: peas,
artichokes, carrots, beets, turnips, spinach, beet tops, string beans, swiss chard, eggplant, zucchini, summer squash, brocco li (s),
cauliflower (s), cabbage (s), spro uts (s), onions (s) or any vegetable other than potatoes, (s - denotes sulfur foods.)
DRINKS. Vegetable broth, soup or health beverage.
PROTEINS
Once a Week: Fish -use white fish, such as sole, halibut, trout or sea trout. Vegetarians: Use soybeans, lima b eans, cottage cheese,
sunflower seeds and other seeds, also seed butters, nut butters, nut milk drinks, eggs.
Twice a Week: Cottage cheese or any cheese that breaks.
Three times a Week: Meat —use only lean meat; never use pork, fats or cured meats.
Vegetari ans: Use meat substitutes or vegetarian proteins.
Once a Week: Egg omelet.
If you have a protein at dinner, health dessert is allowed, but not recommended. Never eat protein and starches together. (No tice
how they are separated.)
You may exchange your noon  meal for the evening meal, but follow the same regimen. It takes exercise to handle raw food, and
we generally get more after our noon meal. That is why a raw salad is advised at noon. If you eat sandwiches, have vegetables  at
the same time.

THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
The immune system is made up of a system of specialized tissues, cells and antibodies, in addition to that aspect of immunity that
we think of as represented by healthy, chemically -balanced organs, glands and tissues in a body with active, clean elimination
channels. External to the body, the skin is our first line of defense against toxins, germlife and viruses. Tears in the eyes and skin
perspiration have bacteriocidal properties. Internally, mucous membranes


Biblical institute of this city of Guadalajara. Within this study, I found the faith that Jesus gave to me. Then I began to request: "Give me the desire to live Jesus. Take away my tumors, 193 give me my health. I want to preach the word you have revealed to me. Remember I have my daughter and my wife and believe that I need to still do something for them."  Jesus said these words in Getzemani: "That does not become my will, but yours". The answer of my Jesus I did not believe. By the end of January to the present. Because of my work, I was commission to the town of Sn. Martin de Bolanos, Jalisco, in the North zone. There like always, I arrived and I made a visit to a temple of the catholic church of that town. It is my custom that I repeated my request to Jesus Christ.   I even went to eat at a restaurant. I took care of one lady and bought myself food without fat and just vegetables. The lady ate with me and she asked me, are you diabetic? I answered her, yes. Then she asked me, when I finish, might I say something? I answered, yes why not? She said after we finish our food.  I ate quickly and I asked the lady about her comment. She said to me: I am diabetic and have been almost blind, but thanks to GOD and Urine I see well. I could not see 5 meters away. Please, I would like to take you to see a video with a teacher who lives close. I accepted and we arrived to the teacher, who took care of us and she gave her testimony of which she alleviated herself of hypertension with the Urine-therapy. The video did not have it, but she explained to me how to initiate the method of Urine-therapy.  After returning, I spent several days thinking. Then I included and understood that everything was not chance but that it was the answer of God to my request.   I initiated my method of Urine-therapy (first thing in the morning). From the second day I felt best for the therapy to be routine. I felt very well.  FIRST FAST: I was taking drugs for the sugar and high blood pressure. The second day of fasting at night I felt bad. I went to the emergency room of the hospital and they took a blood sample of me and my glucose level was at 110. The blood pressure was also low for me, {Normal}. The following day I was with the family doctor to whom I explained the method with Urine therapy. He said to me, it is your decision.   I reduced my allopathic drugs by half as I gained control of my health. I now had feeling in my hurt thumb. I could now breathe well from my nose. The small ball of my tumor was smaller. I no longer had sourness in my stomach. I felt better, reanimated, I saw my daughter and my wife with interest, as they used to be in previous days. Some symptoms are hard to live with but not impossible like before. I do not have all the data that the teacher Sonia commented on. I knew in the community that Sonia Rodriguez 194 gave lectures in the temples. I did not obtain full information until I asked in a bookstore for 'The Water of Life' or 'Urine-therapy'. I also bought the book of 'Uroterapia of Chemistry' by Sonia Rodriguez which I read.  SECOND FASTING: Now I had more information, thanks to that fabulous book. Now with my symptoms I would pass them more with a conscious opinion as everything in life we must experiment to live. I did my fasting completely. Just as in the first fast, I still had complications by with the drugs (1/2 doses), that I still took.   I decided to now suspend the drugs totally. I did it and to this date I no longer take a single tablet. Only Urine. In this second fasting I still followed with doubts. I started this fasting on Holy Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I spoke on the telephone to Paradise of Health and left a message on the answering machine, because now were the holy days. Monday of Passover, I received a telephone call from Sonia, who gave me the attention to call me back. I congratulated her for that charisma that God has given to her. You can listen and feel a special peace in her that you do not find every day. I told her my doubts. She invited me to one of her conferences which I wanted to listen and had several dates to choose from.  THIRD FASTING TIME: I did not have problems, my sugar analysis and hypertension is now normal and I am going to the hospital to only check my counts. I sleep and breath well. The tumor is almost disappeared in my thigh. My thumb of my left hand now moves without a problem. I feel healthy and positive. When I go to get tests at the hospital, I see people who leave with a pile of medicines. It makes me feel like putting a great signboard on my chest that: God says 'I love you, drink your Urine'  From my personal experience, consider if you do drink your Urine, faith is due to you and God is going to heal you. Do it in the name of Jesus. It is worth the trouble to remember a Biblical appointment:  'Everything that you do in the name of Jesus, no matter how difficult, it will be granted to you.'   The works of mercy of God, will manifest. I would not feel well if I didn't give my own testimony. To those who read this, it is not enough to just read. Dedicate to live your own testimony. Cure yourself with your own medicine that is within you."  World-wide Case Histories of Urine Therapy by Gary Ward  195 TUMOR OF JAW  “A woman’s right cheek was swollen and there was pain. There was tumor on the jaw. After a few days of cillage medicines when there was no relief she was sent to the Head of Patna Cancer War. After 15 radiation exposures, there was still no cure.  She began auto-urine massage, fasting, urine-drinking, urine packs and other skin applications of urine. The fast was broken with grapes and fruit juice. She eased back into soup, milk and bread, continuing her urine-drinking. After 10 days there was 80% relief from pain and swelling. The hardened cheek became soft. The swelling opened up and released pus. The body regained its strength.”  from Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  TUMOR OF LIVER   Ms. I.A., Israel "In 1988 a tumour was discovered on my liver. Since I was already familiar with urine therapy and had often used it, I immediately decided to start drinking my urine. After a period of fasting of almost 4 weeks on predominantly urine and water and occasionally some juices, the whole tumour was gone. In this period I also worked on non-physical levels to support the healing process. The doctors concluded their diagnosis must have been wrong. Nobody will ever know for sure whether it was just an abscess or cancer, because I had refused to do a biopsy on me. Anyway, I recovered quickly and in the last week of my fast I even often swam a couple of kilometres a day. I believe that God has separated urine from the feces so we can take the urine in again fresh, pure and sterile- whenever we need it; as a preventative, but also to remind us that not everything is the way we think it is.... " (From: The Alchemy of Urine; From Witches' Brew to the Golden Elixir; A Diary, Immanu-El Adiv, Jerusalem (Israel) 1992, version shortened by author)  TUMOR OF NECK  “My wife got 12 tumours on her neck. The doctor gave prescription of medicines worth Rs. 100/- I began giving her urine treatment and only in four days she was normal.”  Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  TUMOR OF PENIS 196  “Shri  L. N. Tandel (Colombo, Ceylon) could not only cure pain in the stomach hut also a few tumors on his penis by urine treatment.”  Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  TUMOR OF THROAT  “My mother is 44. She has tumours on both sides of her throat. Similar growths had developed three months before also. Doctors then had diagnosed them as early sage of T.B. The right side growth was operated upon but to no avail.  The tumors, two months later, started to dissolve and my mother’s condition improved. The treatment and dietary restrictions were strictly being followed.”  from Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  TUMOR OF THROAT  “Shrimati Rajani is a widow and is a nurse in Dhariwal (Punjab). Her daughter Chanchal Kumari aged eleven had four tumours on throat. On her mother’s persuasion the young girl started urine treatment. She took urine orally twice a day and rubbed it on the body once a day. The urine massage was done by her mother. In two months the girl was cured and all her growths on her throat disappeared completely.”  Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  TUMOR OF UTERUS  “Maria K. started drinking 2- 4 ounces of urine two to four times a day, she used pure urine rectal implants, vaginal douches and the ultimate universal remedy because she wanted a babe. However she had fibroid tumors in the uterus and the chances of conceiving and having a babe were slipping away at 29 years of age. She was desperate by the time she heard about


 become a breeding ground for unhealthy bacterial life forms. The he avy
mucus coating in the colon thickens and becomes a host for putrefaction. The blood capillaries to the colon begin to pick up the
toxins, poisons and noxious debris as it seeps through the bowel wall. All tissues and organs of the body are now taking on t oxic
substances. Here i s the beginning of true autointoxication on a physiological level. Bernard Jensen, Tissue Cleansing Through
Bowel Management. [2] All maladies are due to the lack of certain food principles, such as mineral salts or vitamins, or to t he
absence of the norma l defenses of the body, such as the natural protective flora. When this occurs, toxic bacteria invade the lower

and organ of the body. Sir Arbuthnot Lane. [3] The common cause of gastro -intestinal indigestion is enervation and overeating

Management.

    I am not a true believer in any single healing method or system. I find much truth in many schools and use a w ide variety of
techniques. The word for my inclination is eclectic.
    The most effective medicine in my arsenal is water fasting followed closely in potency by other, less rigorous detoxifying di ets.
Colon cleansing ranks next in healing power. In fact it is difficult to separate colon cleansing from fasting because detoxification
programs should always be accompanied by colon cleansing. Further down the scale of efficatiousness comes dietary reform to
eliminate allergic reactions and to present the body  with foods it is capable of digesting without creating toxemia. Last, and usually
least in effectiveness in my arsenal, are orthotropic substances (in the form of little pills and capsules) commonly known as
vitamins or food supplements.
    Interestingly, acceptance of these methods by my clients runs in exact opposition to their effectiveness. People prefer taking
vitamins because they seem like the allopaths' pills, taking pills demands little or no responsibility for change. The least popular
prescript ion I can write is a monodiet of water for several weeks or a month. Yet this is my most powerful medicine.
    It is possible to resolve many health complaints without fasting, simply by cleansing the colon and regaining normal lower
bowel function. Colo nics take little personal effort and are much easier to get people to accept than fasting. So I can fully
understand how perfectly honest and ethical naturopaths have developed obsessions with colon cleansing. Some healers have
loudly and repeatedly (and w rongly) proclaimed that constipation is the sole cause of disease, and thus, the only real cure for any
illness is colon cleansing.
    Even though it is possible to have a lot of successes with the simple (though unpleasant to administer) technique of co lon
cleansing, degenerated lower bowels are the only cause of disease. I prefer to use bowel cleansing as an adjunct to more comp lete
healing programs. However, old classics of hygiene and even a few new books strongly make the case for colonics. Some of t hese
books are entirely one -sided, single -cause single -cure approaches, and sound convincing to the layperson. For this reason, I think I
should take a few paragraphs and explain why some otherwise well -intentioned health professionals have overly -advocate d
colonics (and other practices as well).

Most Diseases Cure Themselves
    If you ask any honest medical doctor how they cure diseases, they will tell you that most acute disease conditions and a smal ler,
though significant percentage (probably a majorit y) of chronic disease conditions are self -limiting and will, given time, get better
all by themselves. So for most complaints, the honest allopathic doctor sees their job as giving comfort and easing the sever ity of
the symptoms until a cure happens.
    This same scenario, when viewed from a hygienist's perspective, is that almost all acute and many chronic conditions are simpl y
the body's attempt to handle a crisis of toxemia. For two reasons the current crisis will probably go away by itself. The pos itive
reason is that the toxic overload will be resolved: the person changes their dietary habits or the stressor that temporarily lowered
their vital force and produced enervation is removed, then digestion improves and the level of self -generated toxins is r educed. The
negative reason for a complaint to "cure" itself is that the suffering person's vital force drops below the level that the sy mptom can
be manifested and the complaint goes away because a new, more serious disease is developing.
    I view this  second possibility as highly undesirable because strong, healthy bodies possessing a high degree of vital force are
able to eliminate toxins rather violently, frequently producing very uncomfortable symptoms that are not life -threatening.
However, as the vital force drops, the body changes its routes of secondary elimination and begins using more centrally located
vital organs and systems to dispose of toxemia. This degeneration producing less unpleasant symptoms, but in the long run,
damages essential org ans and moves the person closer to their final disease.
    A young vigorous body possessing a large degree of vital force will almost always route surplus toxins through skin tissues a nd
skin-like mucus membranes, producing repeated bouts of sinusitis, or  asthma, or colds, or a combination of all these. Each acute
manifestation will "cure" itself by itself eventually. But eventually the body's vital force can no longer create these aggre ssive
cleansing phenomena and the toxemia begins to go deeper. When th e allopathic doctor gets a patient complaining of sinusitis, they
know they will eventually get a cure. The "cure" however, might well be a case of arthritis.
    This unfortunate reality tends to make young, idealistic physicians become rather disillusio ned about treating degenerative
conditions because the end result of all their efforts is, in the end, death anyway. The best they can do is to alleviate suf fering and
to a degree, prolong life. The worst they can do is to prolong suffering.
    Thus, the  physicians main job is to get the patient to be patient, to wait until the body corrects itself and stops manifesting the
undesired symptom. Thus comes the prime rule of all humane medicine: first of all, do no harm! If the doctor simply refrains from
making the body worse, it will probably get better by itself. But the patient, rarely resigned to quiet suffering, comes in dema nding
fast relief, demanding a cure. In fact, if the patient were resigned to quiet suffering they would not consult a doctor. So i f the
doctor wants to keep this patient and make a living they must do something. If that something the doctor must do does little or no
harm and better yet, can also alleviate the symptoms, the doctor is practicing good medicine and will have a very high cure rate
and be financially successful if they have a good bedside manner. This kind of doctor may be allopathic and/or "natural," may  use
herbs or practice homeopathy.
    The story of Dr. Jennings, a very successful and famous or infamous (depending on  your viewpoint) physician, who practiced in
Connecticut in the early 1800s exemplifies this type of approach.
    Dr. Jennings had his own unique medicines. Their composition was of his own devising, and were absolutely secret. He had
pills and colored b itter drops of various sorts that were compounded himself in his own pharmacy. Dr. Jennings' patients generally
recovered and had few or no complications. This must be viewed in contrast to the practices of his fellow doctors of that era,
whose black bags were full of mercury and arsenic and strychnine, whose practices included obligatory bleeding. These techniques
and medicines "worked" by poisoning the body or by reducing its blood supply and thus lowering its vital force, ending the bo dy's
ability to man ifest the undesirable symptom. If the poor patient survived being victimized by their own physician, they were tough
enough to survive both their disease and the doctor's cure. Typically, the sick had many, lengthy complications, long illness es, and
many " setbacks" requiring many visits, earning the physician a great living.
    Dr. Jennings operated differently. He would prescribe one or two secret medicines from his black bag and instruct the patient  to
stay in bed, get lots of rest, drink lots of water,  eat little and lightly, and continue taking the medicine until they were well. His cure
rate was phenomenal. Demand they might, but Dr. Jennings would never reveal what was in his pills and vials. Finally at the e nd
of his career, to instruct his fellow m an, Dr. Jennings confessed. His pills were made from flour dough, various bitter but harmless
herbal substances

True Early Signs of Cancer:
The true early signs of cancer are the signs of inadequate protein metabolism. They
are:
• Gas on the stomach or bowel
•Sudden weakness of the eyes
•Tired feeling most of the time
•Muscle weakness and cramps — first in the back, then in the chest
• Extreme mental depression
•Sudden change in hair texture or color
• Development of various hernias (only in slow-growing tumors)
•Confusion — difficulty in making even simple decisions
I  had cancer for more than three years before the true nature of the problem ever
dawned on me. At the height of the cancer, I  supposedly had about two months to
live. If I  had not discovered God's Laws concerning cancer and applied them very
diligently, I  would not be here to share this information.
168
Winning The Cancer War
With few exceptions, by the time one discovers he has cancer he has had it for a
very long time. This was my situation. Now that I  really know all the true early signs
of cancer, I  also know that I  was being warned many months before my case became
clinical.
From time to time, I  would notice belching just a little gas, but I  didn't give it much
thought — just supposed I  had eaten a little too much. Eventually, I  began to pass gas
from the bowel, a little at first and finally so much that it was embarrassing to me and
also my family.
My First Warning
My hobby was antique automobiles. On one trip the family made to Colorado in our
1923 Cadillac, I  noticed that at dusk I  found it difficult to read the road signs. I  had to
be right up to them before they became legible. I  still didn't have the good sense even
to suspect I  had cancer, and didn't give the matter much more thought until two
months later when I  was showing some slides to the Antique Automobile Club. I
couldn't seem to get the pictures in focus. I  thought I  had damaged my camera, but
the club members said the pictures were very clear and that I'd better have my eyes
checked. Finally, I  gave in and made an appointment with the ophthalmologist for an
eye examination. To my horror, he prescribed trifocals. My protests were for naught,
and I  could see my pictures and road signs much better.
My Second Warning
Things went on about the same for several months, until I  began to notice that if I  sat
in one position for more than twenty minutes I  would have muscle aches, particularly
in the back. My physician finally gave me a muscle relaxant, after I'd visited him
several times with the same complaint. I  was still too naive to suspect cancer. The
medication didn't help much, and in another month or so I  began to have pains in my
chest. This of course upset me considerably, and I  rushed to the physician once more.
Over the next few months, several electrocardiograms were made and nothing out of
the ordinary showed, it couldn't, because the pain was from the chest muscles — a
frequent sign of cancer — but as usual, I  was oblivious to the true early warning
signs.
My Third Warning Went Unheeded
A long, long horrible period of mental depression followed — another true warning
sign that cancer was rearing its ugly head. I  went to the physician again and
practically begged for help, asking for an antidepressant drug or anything that would
help alleviate this chronic, severe depression. By this time, he was fed up with me
169
Winning The Cancer War
and my complaints and he sat me down and carefully explained that there was
nothing wrong with me. My heart was better than his, and it was high time that I  stop
worrying about it; after all, it was only in my mind!
As cancer progresses, it gives off a toxin that makes one extremely depressed, and
there is a feeling of impending death a good part of the time. Gradually, during the
entire three years of early cancer growth in my body, I  became weaker and weaker.
By this time, I  knew something very tragic was taking place, but I  didn't know what,
and still didn't have any suspicion that it might be cancer.
My job, the work I  loved so very much, became distasteful. I  wanted to give it up and
start a new profession — anything to attempt regaining an interest in life. After all the
many years of college training for a job I  loved to do, I  was seriously contemplating
junking it all. After eight years of clinical practice and research, I  found myself ready
to throw in the towel. It was a terrible feeling to be so sick and not be able to
understand why or put a name on it. My thinking became fuzzy, unclear and
irrational.
A Fourth Warning — and still not an inkling in my mind what the culprit might be!
During these many months of severe depression, my hair began showing signs of
lifelessness, becoming brittle and coarse. I  was losing some, and what was left was
fast becoming gray.
Warning Five also escaped my attention!
Also, at this time, I  developed a hernia. This is typical of a person with malignancy,
since the malignancy is accompanied by muscle deterioration. Warning Five also
escaped my attention!
My Sixth Warning:
By this time I  was feeling so bad that I  reluctantly returned to my physician. He finally
admitted that there might be something wrong and sent me off to an internist. After
the passing of three month's time, during which the Beard Anthrone Cancer test had
proved extremely positive and I  had undergone many other tests and diagnostic
procedures including X-rays, the internist finally suggested biopsies of my pancreas,
liver, and intestines. He suspected that these operations would reveal cancer.
Although the biopsies were not performed, the physician's suspicions were correct.
My wife was privately told not only that I  had tumors in all three organs, but also
that in the doctor's opinion I  had no more than 18 months to live. And though I  had
begun to suspect the worst, another month passed before I  myself learned of all the
170
Winning The Cancer War
facts. Meanwhile, the chief surgeon in our locale had ruled out full-scale surgery
because he thought I  was in such bad shape that I  wouldn't make it off the operating
table alive. My wife had been told to take me home and get our affairs in order as
promptly as possible, for it wouldn't be long before I'd pass away.
Ironically, though I  had been doing cancer research for several years, it had never
occurred to me that I  could have it myself. I  guess I  was just like thousands of people
who think it can happen to someone else — but not to them. Only the cancer victim
can understand the fear and despair that finally overwhelmed me. This hit me harder,
probably, than it would have the average person, because I  had been studying and
researching the details of cancer and had a firsthand insight into that horror of
horrors.
Since early childhood, I  experienced a deep and abiding interest in all facets of
medicine and I  had spent much of my life studying anything and everything I  could
find in the field. I  had spent two and one-half-years with the military medics and
fourteen years working my way through college in hospitals doing everything from
running electrocardiograms to assisting in surgery — viewing firsthand the complete
gamut of medical practices and witnessing the tragic decline and ultimate death of
hundreds of hopeless cancer victims.
With this great deal of knowledge about the medical community's various
approaches to cancer, I  knew that in spite of all the propaganda fed to the general
public about success rates with certain treatments, there were actually very few
people who survived the medical establishment's chemicals, surgical procedures, and
radiation treatments. I  didn't want to be another one of its statistics.
As soon as I  realized my true situation, I  decided not to take any new patients and
prayed that I  would be granted time to complete the work with the patients already
under my care. It took me about two weeks to overcome the terrific shock and to
wrestle with my fate.
After days of intensive thought and prayer, I  decided not to accept the fate of an
early death. Instead, I  accepted life and my duty to seek out God's Laws concerning
cancer and, if possible, apply them to myself and teach them to others.
My doctors had considered performing surgery on me, but they didn't think I  would
make it through the operation. I  was so near death. God, in his infinite wisdom, had
another path for me. Not being able to have surgery turned out to be a great blessing,
but of course I  didn't see it that way at the time. The only thing I  could do then was
regulate my diet. My life hung in such a delicate balance (another blessing), that I
could feel very clearly the effect of each food I  ingested. If I  ate wrong foods, I  could

 has told you.
“If y ou t ake the way it works, a  human being wakes up in the m orning and for the first
moment there’ s just stillness; th en there’ s a re-engagement of th e mind, the mind kicks
in and starts saying, ‘What ha ve I got to do today? How old am I? What are my
problems? How  am I going to stop all these things going wrong?’ There is complete
identification with the story; you pull your boots on and of f you go again.”
David Bingham, fr om Conscious TV
Another story our mind has convinced us of is the story about time. T ime is a very
convenient tool that enables us to all work from the same calendar and clocks so that
we can coordina te our lives with each other and with everything that’ s happening in the
world. B ut as Einstein discover ed, time is relative; ultimately, there’ s really no such
thing as time. T ime is an illusion—a mental concept created by the mind.“If y ou try to get your hands on time, it’ s always slipping through your fingers. People
are sure time is t here, but they can’ t get hold of it. My feeling is  that they can’ t get hold
of it because it isn’ t there at all.”
Julian Barbour, physicist, excerpt fr om Adam Frank’ s book  About T ime
All that really ex ists is this pres ent moment, and try as you might, you will not be able
to find any event or circumstance that happened at any other time than the present
moment.
If you try to imagine a world without time, you won’ t be able  to do it because your
mind can’ t comprehend it. Y our mind is always either in the past or in the future; it’ s
not aware of this present moment. If you stop and are present right now, you will notice
that ther e is no thought. It’ s one of the reasons why the mind has been able to prevent
so many  of us from realizing who we really are, because A wareness can only be
recognized in this present moment!
If yo u d on’ t thin k your mind creates time, then see if you can find time outside of your
mind.
“T ry and find any evidence of the past without thought. T ry as hard as you can to find
any past apart from the current thought of it. It’ s impossible.”
Peter Dziuban, fr om  Consciousness Is All audiobook
Now try and find the future without thought. T ry really hard.
It’ s not possible to find any evidence of the past or the future without thought. No one
has ever been able to step into the past or into the future. When anything happened in
the past,  it happened in the pre sent moment. When anything happens in the future, it
always h appens in the present m oment. Check it for yourself. G o back in your memory
to when  you first rode a bike as a kid. When you were actually riding your bike, were
you riding it in the past? Or were you riding your bike in the present moment? When
you woke up th is morning, did you wake up in the past, or d id you wake up in the
present moment?“The past and fu ture cannot be e xperienced. They can only be mentally processed. Past
and future exist only in the form of thought.”
Jan Frazier, fr om  The Great Sweetening: Life After Thought
“The only evidence we have of the Earth’ s past is rocks and fossils. But these are just
stable st ructures in the form of an arrangement of minerals we examine in the present.
The point is, all we have are these records and you only have them in this Now.”
Julian Barbour, physicist, excerpt fr om Adam Frank’ s book  About T ime
When I was first told that time doesn’ t exist, my mind went crazy with all kinds of
thoughts trying to prove that tim e does exist! Like, what about old buildings? Aren’ t
they pro of there’ s a past? But when I really examined it, I realized that when the
buildings were built they were built in the present moment.  And if I am standing
looking at the old building, I’m also looking at it in the present moment, and anyone
who has looked at the same building also looked at it in the present moment. Eventually
as I exam ined e ach thought that came up trying to prove time is real, I saw that every
one of them was false because there is only the present moment.
“Whether you like it or not, you’re in the moment. There’ s only one moment, it’ s
infinite, and you can’ t be anywhere else but in it.”

“Now is  not a m oment in time, sandwiched between the two vast spaces of past and
future. This present Now is the only Now there is—the eternal Now. It has not come
from anywhere and is not going anywhere.”
Rupert Spira, fr om  The Ashes of Love
If you can just open yourself to  the possibility that time is an illusion, it will help set
you free.
“The future never comes. Think of that: the future never comes. There is only ever the
present. In the present, there is the feeling of not missing life. Of not having anywhere
to get to, anything to get done. The present is where it is happening. And it isn’ t
happening anyw here else. It su re as heck isn’ t happening in the mind, with all the
wondering abou t what’ s ahead, and the going over (and over) something that has
already come and gone.”Jan Frazier, fr om  Opening the Door
“The past is made of memory, the future of imagination. Neither has any existence
outside the realm of thought.”
Rupert Spira, fr om  The Ashes of Love
The min d constantly fixates on the past and the future, neither of which exists, but
which ju st the same causes us stress and worry. Y ou think to you rself, “I’m running late
for our meeting. My boss and work colleagues are going to be furious with me. I was
late last week too. I could get fired over this.” Instead of believing those thoughts as
facts an d certainties, be aware that they’re just  flimsy thoughts. They’re fabricated
stories. But if you believe your mind, it will  become true.
The mind’ s storytelling is nothing more than one of its mechanical programs, and yet it
has managed to convince most of us that its stories are true—the story that time is real,
the s tory that we ’re a body and a mind, the story that we are a  separate person who is
born and dies. All of these things combined play their part in constructing the reality
that we experience, but they are all in the mind, and therefore nothing but mental ideas.
“It’ s not you that people like or dislike; it’ s their stories of you.”
Byr on Katie, fr om  A Mind at Home with Itself
Don’ t believe a story your mind tells you if it’ s something you don’ t want; otherwise,
you will brand yourself with it. W atch the mechanics of your mind, and don’ t accept a
single st ory or thought about yourself that is anything but perfection and goodness,
because perfection and pure goodness are the fact of what you r eally  are!
A war eness Is Y our W ay Out
“What is a thought? A movement of ener gy. What is a feeling? A movement of ener gy.”
Peter Lawry, fr om the talk “Consciousness Unlimited”
What you are, In finite A warenes s, can never be af fected by thoughts. So become aware
of your thought s and see them for what they are—just a thoug ht, just ener gy passing
through.
“A t hought is like a bird flying by. Let the bird fly past without analyzing it. ‘Where are
you going? What kind of bird a re you? Where’ s your family? How old are you?’ Just
let the bird fly past.”
My teacherY ou don’ t have to eliminate you r mind or go to war with your mind. Y ou will add even
more power to your mind if you try to do that. A wareness is your way out of the turmoil
of the mind. Jus t become aware of your thoughts so that you no longer believe them.
Y ou can’ t be aware of your thoughts and believe them at the same time, because
A wareness of your thoughts prevents you from identifying with them as though they
were tru e. Whe n you observe your thoughts instead of getting  lost in them, you see
them for what they are: something that you can either choose to believe, or not.
“Who you are does not need a thought to hear. Doesn’ t need a thought to see. Doesn’ t
need a thought t o sense your bo dy and your surroundings. Who you are is thought free.
A wareness is hearing, seeing, sensing everything first without any thought.”
My teacher
Remember, you r thoughts aren’ t aware of you; you are the A w areness that is aware of
your thoughts.

When I was still studying with Professor Y.S.
Nikolayev, he told me that when starting treat-
ment of bronchial asthma patients, you have to
make sure it’s not hormone -dependent, and you
will gain experience and achieve positive healing
effects.
A mother and her daughter came for an ap-
pointment. The daughter was very thin and
slouching. She looked like if she was 11 years old,
although she was 1 4. She had an inhaler in her
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frhands. By that time, I certainly had many pa-
tients with asthma, but none of them were this
young and thin. Deep inside, I doubted whether
to accept her as a patient, but then her tearful
mother told me the following story, “ My daugh-
ter went to a school disco with her friends, and she
had an asthma attack there. For some reason, I
was worried that day. I felt restless and anxious. I
got off work and ran home. When I opened the
door, I saw my girl hanging on a clothesline.
Thank G od, everything was fine and I managed
to save her."
When I asked her why she did it, she told me:
“Why would I want this kind of life? I’m afraid
to even leave the apartment.”
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frHer mother told me, “As soon as we heard that
asthma is treated with fasting at the Goryachinsk
resort, we came here right away.”
 Of course, after hearing this story, I couldn’t
refuse them. The girl was patient and had very
strong willpower. In general, I’ve noticed that al-
most all patients with asthma have a strong will
and a gre at desire to recover. The disease and
asthma attacks, which resemble death, probably
impact their character. Her first water  fasting pe-
riod had lasted 14 days. After completing it, her
weight was 36 kg, and I decided to end her fast-
ing. After the first fast, she didn’t entirely stop
using the inhaler, but her asthma attacks became
milder and less frequent. She had regular fasting
days and came back 1 year later. After the second
fasting period, her asthma was cured completely,

gained healthy weight, and she now has two kids.
I met her at the All -Russian conference on fast-
ing therapy held in Ulan -Ude. I didn’t even rec-
ognize her at first because I saw a beautiful and
feminine woman. When I asked her about her
health condition, she told me that she has for-
gotten about asthma entirely.
My patient told me that his friend with bron-
chial asthma wanted to come to an appointment
with me. I saw this “old man.” He was 64 years
old, but he looked as if he was 80 because he was
crooked, hunchbacked, and had severe asthma
attacks. When there was no asthma attack, he
was gasping and wheezing. He was wordy when
talking about his condition, saying, “ Damn it, it
tortures me, especially in the spring, when I need

start, I fall right down on the ground. It has tor-
tured me for over 35 years. I guess it’s time for me
to die. Although doctors have treated me many
times, nothing helped.”
The most important thing is that he’s never
taken any hormones. That’s why he had a
chance. That’s what I thought. I told him about
our therapy and how to prepare for it. A month
later, he came to our clinic in Altay. The most
interesting thing is that during the preparation
phase (he was on a vegetarian diet and cleansed
the liver), he lost 10 kg. He used to eat meat three
times a day. When he stopped eating meat, he
started losing a lot of weight. Dry fasting therapy
had a great effect on him, and he threw his in-
haler out on the 4th day.

healing microclimate that greatly enhances the
effects of fasting. He walked 5 kilometers a day
(he covered this distance for the first time in the
last 20 years), admiring nature. He got up early
every morning and walked  while the dew was
still on the ground. His second fasting period
had lasted for 9 days. When he was leaving, we
somehow found his inhaler lying behind the
sofa, but I was afraid that his asthma would re-
appear after returning to the ecologically con-
taminated city. We met 1 year later. He came to
my appointment with a pocket full of inhalers
that he habitually kept obtaining at the phar-
macy. “I should go to the flea market and sell
them,” he said sarcastically.

the evening. She said that her brother had a pul-
monary abscess and he was supposed to undergo
surgery. A pulmonary abscess is an infected fu-
sion of the lung tissue, separated from the sur-
rounding tissue by a capsule. It’s caused by mi-
crobial flora (in most cases, Staphylococcus).
Considering the powerful anti -inflammatory
effect of DF and the fact that the body shouldn’t
contain any pathological fluid during this pe-
riod, I agreed to do help him. He has fasted for 9
days with relative ease because he had no appe-
tite at all due to intoxication. I was surprised that
he had calmly read books for 9 days, though al-
most all patients tell me that they usually have
no desire to read books or watch TV. After 5
days of DF, his symptoms of intoxication

he came home and got an X -ray, and then went
to see a surgeon, who carefully studied it and
said: " Whoever assigned you to undergo surgery is
a fool, because you have nothing in your
lungs. "(...)
Why is therapeutic fasting effective in treating
bronchopulmonary pathology? Asthma attacks
are a toxic storm that happens when mucus pro-
duction can no longer handle the burden put on
it.
The liver is one of the most problematic organs
in patients with bronchial asthma. When we put
leeches on the liver area before fasting, I’ve never
seen good -quality blood. All the patients who
cleansed the liver before fasting are always
amazed by the detox results. Fasting cleanses the

blood gets rid of all t hings extraneous, and the
plasma becomes transparent and clean as a whis-
tle, everything is balanced, including coagula-
tion factors.
In this regard, therapeutic fasting cleanses the
blood better than hemosorption or hemodialy-
sis. As we know, bronchial edema  caused by al-
lergic inflammation is one of the main patholog-
ical mechanisms in asthma. When there is no
liquid, bronchial edema and inflammation dis-
appear on the 3rd day of dry fasting, and subse-
quently the adrenal cortex function of hormone
(cortisol) secretion stabilizes gradually.
The function of the adrenal cortex reaches its
highest point on approximately the 5th day of
DF. The amount of glucocorticoids flooding the

powerful anti -inflammatory effect, th us sup-
pressing all the inflammation sites in the body.
After all, we know that glucocorticoids are the
most powerful anti -inflammatory
