 well  as Divinely!
Will  you  all—every  one  of you—do  Me the kindness,  be-
fore the opening  of the Class,  to read  the last  chapter  of
the Magic  Presence?  Will  you  do Me this  kindness,  and
as you  start  to read  on thru  that  chapter,  will  you  be kind
enough  to feel  yourself  in the place  of this  Good  Brother,
during  His  Experience?  It was  Real,  I assure  you!  Then,
allow  Me to do that  which  I wish  to do for you.  Oh,  Pre-
cious  Ones,  please  understand,  We  do not care  about  the
puny  human  mistakes,  which  human  beings  have  made.
All We want  is their  earnestness  in their  attention  to their
"Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  which  will  enable  Us to do for
them  what  they  cannot  do themselves;  and  which  We can-
not do for them  unless,  they  will  give  their  Earnest  Atten-
tion to the Presence!
Do you  not see,  how  thru  the centuries,  We  were  lim-
ited;  because  human  Beings  did not know  their  Presence?
Without  their  attention  to the Presence,  We  were  not per-48 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES
mitted—because  the Law  would  not permit  Us—to  release
This  Help.  Now  the  Great  Cosmic  Light  does!  Oh,  the
Glory  for mankind!  There  was  no Release  of the Light  into
the Earth,  except  at long  intervals.  I mean  there  were  no
Great  Cosmic  Impulses  of That  Light  to help  mankind.
Now  since  Beloved  Saint  Germain  has brought  This  Activ-
ity forth,  It comes  with  Dynamic  Power  twice  a year!  This
time,  on the 7th of April,  there  was  a Sufficient  Activity
of the Cosmic  Law  for the Light  to release;  because  of the
need  and  Blessing  of mankind  today!  This  will  come  again
in July.  On the seventh  of July  there  will  come  a still Might-
ier Flow  and  Impulse  of That  Great  Cosmic  Light  into  the
Earth!
I think  most  of you  have  read  Washington's  Vision,  if
not, you  will  perhaps  in the near  future.  I say to you,  the
last episode  in His  Vision  which  was  a Mighty  Reality,  is
what  We  are trying  to prevent  acting  in America  today.
Only  by enough  Calls  from  the sincere  students  of the "I
AM"  in America,  can it be prevented.  When  Beloved  Saint
Germain  was  talking  last Sunday  morning  at this  Precious
One's  Group,  We allowed  this  Good  Brother  to see the Ac-
tivity  of the Cosmic  Light  which  took  place!  In the third
episode  of Washington's  Vision,  you  will  notice  the Great
Being  states,  as the expression  was  used  by the narrator:
"that  a dark  angel  in the center  of the Atlantic,"  was  the
one who  seemed  to be the instigator  of that  activity,  which
took  place  in what  followed!  IN THE  PLACE  OR  PO-
SITION  OF  THAT  BEING,  A PILLAR  OF  LIGHT DISCOURSE  VIII  49
WAS  PLACED  LAST  SUNDAY  MORNING  IN THE
CENTER  OF  THE  ATLANTIC,  WHICH  WILL
REMAIN  AND  DO  ITS  PERFECT  WORK!
We mention  fragments  of These  Great  Activities  for your
Encouragement,  Strength  and  Blessing.  If enough  of the
"I AM"  Students—I  do not necessarily  mean  in numbers—
but if enough  Earnestness  is released  by These  Mighty  De-
crees  from  mankind,  then  a great  part  of this  destructive
activity,  which  would  otherwise  take  place  and  sweep  over
America,  may  be forestalled.
Is there  any  one  of the Blessed  Ones  in America  or the
World  today,  who  does  not want  to see that  done ? Then,
do you  not understand,  Dear  Hearts,  what  a tragedy  it is,
when  Individuals  are so unfortunate  as to be vicious  enough,
to try and  oppose  these  Beloved  Messengers;  in the Free-
dom  and  Protection  which  they  alone  have  been  responsible
for bringing  into  America;  to prevent  such  frightful  de-
struction  taking  place  in America ? That  frightful  destruc-
tion is not only  thru  the cataclysmic  activity;  but  it is the
destructive  thing  which  has been  generated  in Europe  for
centuries,  which  would  one  day  try to sweep  the Earth!
These  are Mighty  Truths,  Dear  Hearts.  They  are not to
try and  frighten  any  one;  but  mankind  needs  to know
that in the Call  to the "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  is the only
Power  which  can  release  enough  energy,  to bring  about
Protection  and  allow  the Great  Law  of your  Life  to act;
to prevent  these  things  which  otherwise  must  be the ex-
perience  of mankind! 50 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES
Mankind  has  gone  thru  thousands  of embodiments  in
the experience  Life;  and  the people  have  not  gained  any
Freedom  thru  it. Now  today,  when  the Light  of the World
stands  before  you,  in the Understanding  of your  "Mighty
I AM  Presence,"  and  the calling  of Its Power  into  action;
then  think  what  It means  to you  in These  Wonderful
Groups,  who  are issuing  These  Mighty  Decrees  with  dy-
namic  energy;  to go forth  in the mental  and  feeling  world
of mankind!  The  Mighty  Majestic  Far-reaching  Activity
of Those  Decrees,  is beyond  the fondest  hopes  of any  hu-
man  intellect.
Tonight,  We bring  to your  attention  from  the Great  Cos-
mic Light,  These  Mighty  Truths.  If you  can  accept  This
Truth  and  feel  Its Reality,  then  much  can  be done  during
This  Class.  We  brought  the Messengers  here  at this  time,
to save  your  New  York.  One  day,  not so far hence,  you  will
know  the Truth  of My Words,  which  I have  spoken  to you
tonight.  Will  not  all of you  take  your  stand  for the Pro-
tection  and  Blessing  of this  Coming  Class,  so the Greatest
Possible  Good  may  come  to New  York  out  of it, and  the
Greatest  Harmony  possible?  It is you,  Precious  Ones,  here
who  need  it, not the Messengers;  but  their  Love  has been
great  enough  to face  the frightful  destructive  feeling,  sent
out from  these  vicious  ones  in the world  who  are acting
here.  The  Messengers'  Love  has been  great  enough  to give
the Assistance.
Beloved  Ones,  you  are Fortunate!  Most  Fortunate!  and
one day,  you  will  every  one  of you  tell Me so and  repeat DISCOURSE  VIII  51
back  to Me Those  Words.  Will  you  think  for just  one  mo-
ment  what  It means  to have  become  a Part  of Myself!  Now
remember,  It is not this  physical  form  here  I am speaking
of, It is My Own  Blazing  Form  of Light  of which  "I AM"
speaking;  and  My  Own  Infinite  Intelligence,  by

THE SECOND
MOST IMPORTANT HORMONE
As we have seen, progesterone, in my view, is the most impor-
tant hormone in a hormone replacement regimen during andafter menopause. T estosterone is the second most importanthormone. As with estrogen, women continue to make testos-terone as they age, but at reduced levels. The level of freetestosterone (the biologically active form of testosterone) in amenopausal woman is usually around 1.6. pg/nl Thiscompares to a level of 6.4 pg/nl during the teenage years.
The benefits of testosterone are manifold. This is the
number one hormone needed by the bones for the preventionand treatment of osteoporosis. It is also the number onehormone for heart health. As I mentioned earlier, there aremore testosterone receptor sites in heart muscle than anywhereelse in the body. Some 250,000 deaths are attributed to conges-tive heart failure (weakening of the heart muscle) every year.98 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  How many might be avoided with testosterone?
In addition, testosterone is probably the most important
hormone for prevention of Alzheimer’s disease. Also, youcannot build muscle without the use of testosterone. The moremuscle one has, the better one is able to prevent fat from form-ing and skin from sagging.
A woman requires two hormones for a good libido—
progesterone and testosterone. If her libido has been low, itmay take about six weeks after starting these hormones for herinterest in sex to kick in.
TESTOSTERONE AND
URINARY INCONTINENCE
Urinary incontinence is a very common problem in many
women. Any time they cough, sneeze, laugh, or run on thetennis court, urine dribbles out. This forces many women toresort to mini-pads. Discussions with their doctors lead to pre-scriptions for Detrol or Ditropan, drugs that focus on bladderfunction. Sometimes they are referred to urologists for bladdersurgery. Quite often, perhaps more often than not, the medica-tion and the surgery do not help. The reason is that the incon-tinence they are experiencing is often not a bladder problem. Aswomen get older, the muscles around the urethra weaken andthey cannot keep urine from leaking out of the bladder.
Natural testosterone cream is almost 100 percent effective
for this problem. A bio-identical testosterone cream can beobtained from a compounding pharmacy, along with a vaginalapplicator, and is inserted vaginally once a day in the morning.T wo exercises must be done along with using the cream toinsure effectiveness. The first exercise is stopping and startingthe urine stream while urinating, which helps you target the99 HORMONES FOR WOMEN  exact muscles you are trying to build up. The contraction of
these muscles is called the Kegel maneuver. The second is actu-ally the same exercise but done in other contexts. The samemuscles need to be compressed for about ten seconds, 20 to 30times per day, primarily in the morning. This can be donewhile you’re driving, sitting, watching television, or engaged inother activities.
In about six to seven days, most women will experience a
complete resolution of the incontinence—if, besides using thecream, they do both sets of exercises. Once the incontinence isgone, the testosterone cream can be applied to the innerforearm.
The dosages I usually prescribe are: First month: 2% cream
or gel,
⅛tsp applied intra-vaginally (if necessary for inconti-
nence) or ⅛tsp to the forearm, daily. Second month and
thereafter: 1% cream or gel, ⅛tsp applied to the forearm on a
daily basis.
The best way to gauge testosterone levels is by the libido.
If you are experiencing a healthy libido, cut the dosage to twoor three times per week. T oo much testosterone can create sideeffects, such as acne, body hair growth, scalp hair loss, elevatedcholesterol, or aggressive behavior.
DHEA—THE ANTI-AGING HORMONE
Forty percent of the DHEA produced in a woman’s body is
made by the ovaries. After menopause, the ovaries quit manu-facturing this hormone. DHEA is considered the mother of allsteroid hormones, since it is the precursor to other hormones,most notably estrogen and testosterone. Clearly, replacing thishormone alone can help to reduce hot flashes and night sweatsand restore libido.100 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  The primary source of the remaining 60 percent of DHEA
is the adrenal glands, though DHEA production by the adrenalsalso declines over the years. People who have been exposed tohigh levels of stress during their life very often have low levelsof DHEA.
As discussed earlier, DHEA is also known as an anti-aging
hormone. There appears to be a direct correlation betweenlevels of DHEA and longevity. People with the highest DHEAlevels seem to live longer lives. Perhaps this is related to the factthat DHEA stimulates the production of human growthhormone (HGH), sometimes referred to as the “fountain ofyouth” hormone.
DHEA influences the immune system and helps prevent
cancer and arthritis. It’s also beneficial for the cardiovascularsystem. It has the same effect as the “good” cholesterol (HDL)on the “bad” cholesterol (LDL), in that it prevents its oxida-tion, which can cause damage to the coronary arteries.
It is also known as a fat-burning hormone. The most likely
reason why it promotes weight loss is because it lowers insulinlevels, just as progesterone and testosterone do.
DHEA tends to enhance one’s feeling of well-being.
However, as with any hormone, replacement should be corre-lated carefully with need. Because DHEA can convert intoother hormones, it is absolutely necessary to check bloodlevels of this hormone prior to starting its use and to monitorthem during usage. When measuring DHEA, it is best to testDHEA-S levels rather than DHEA levels.
Since DHEA levels change with age, so-called normal
levels are fairly low after menopause. My preference is toreplace DHEA to achieve levels consistent with those ofwomen about 40 years of age, which is in the neighborhood of250 mcg/dl. I start women whose levels are very low, around30 or less, with a dosage of 25 mg a day. Women with levels101 HORMONES FOR WOMEN  around 100 I start at 12.5 mg a day. I recommend obtaining
DHEA by prescription from a compounding pharmacy; thenyou are assured of receiving a pharmaceutical dosage in asustained-release form. Buying DHEA over the counter is lessreliable, since standards for regulating dosages are low ornon-existent. Hormones are potent chemicals, and one shouldbe careful when using them.
The most common side effect of DHEA is acne—an
indication that most of the DHEA is being converted intotestosterone. The remedy here, of course, is to cut back on thedosage or the frequency of administration. Another approachmight be to switch to 7-keto DHEA, a form of DHEA thatdoes not convert into testosterone. It may be available at ahealth food store or possibly at a compounding pharmacy. Asuggested dosage is 100 mg/day. DHEA in any form is besttaken at bedtime.102 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  ANDROPAUSE— THE
MALE MENOPAUSE
chapter TWEL VE
Although this fact is often overlooked, men and women produce
exactly the same hormones. And most hormone levels inmen, just as in women, become lower as men get older. Sincehormones affect every system of the body, profound changesoccur as one ages. This shift in men, which begins around age 50,is known as andropause. Its characteristics include a drop inenergy, libido, stamina, and joi de vivre, associated with weightgain around the middle.
Moreover, it is just as important for men to receive
bio-identical hormone replacement as it is for women. Theconsequences of altered hormone levels in men may lead toconditions such as coronary artery disease, Alzheimer’s disease,prostate cancer, osteoporosis, and depression.
TESTOSTERONE
Unquestionably, the most important hormone to be consid-
ered for replacement in men is testosterone. It is most oftenthought of as a sex hormone, and it is, but it has otherfunctions that are probably more vital.
103T estosterone is the main hormone for the prevention of
Alzheimer’s disease. Studies done by the National Institutes ofHealth have confirmed this.
It is the number one hormone affecting heart tissue,
including the coronary arteries, the conduction system, and,most important, the heart muscle itself. There are more testos-terone receptor sites in heart muscle than in any other musclein the body. T wo studies came out in 2003 demonstrating theuse of testosterone in men who had massive heart attacks, asituation that almost always results in congestive heart failure(CHF), a weakening of the heart muscle resulting in thebackup of fluid into the lungs and possibly the rest of the body.The men who received testosterone failed to develop CHF;those who did not went into heart failure.
The development of osteoporosis, although not as com-
mon in men as women


 glimpsed
very closely in or gasm. Or at least this is its potential.
Although there is a certain loss when intimacy is entered hastily, our
present approach to sexuality has the advantage of removing outworn
taboos. More than any time in the past, couples today are experiencing
sexuality frankl y and openly before making a commitment to proceed
further in their relationship. Desire isn’t so highly prized anym ore, yet its
spiritual potential remains intact.
When two peop le become physically intimate, they do not necessarily
become united. Physical union can coexist with separateness, because for
both partners the ego can remain  involved. The ideal of stepping  into shared
ecstasy isn’t reached by practicing some technique that raises orgasm to the
heights of bliss. Having sex with another person is really just one way to
make an agreement. The agreement may be serious or trivial; it may
betoken a deep commitment or little more than a passing encounter.
To see intimacy as an agreement is a very healthy thing,  because
otherwise the sexual act becom es entangled in hidden agendas. Fantasy is
never more powerful or more misleading than where sex is concerned. For a
woman the hidden agenda often  takes the form of believing that having sex
equals love. A man’ s hidden agenda is more likely to equate sex with
power. This was particularly true in times when the man was the pursuer,
ardently offering  his love, whic h the woman would reject or accept. The
ultimate token of acceptance was for her to “give in” to the sexual act. In
doing so she accepted love at the same time. Many women still harbor this
belief in fantasy form.
For his part, the man knew that sexual surrender meant that his pursuit
had been successful; the hunter had struck his mark at the same moment
that the lover was embraced. In the past it seemed only natural for both
sexes to use the aggressive image of the hunt as symbolic of the quest for
intimacy, yet looking back we can see a good deal of hidden fear and
insecurity in this analogy. Why should the act of love be linked to
aggression at all?
These symbols and images were part of a social code, therefore they
required no agreement. It wasn’ t possible for either men or women toexempt themselv es from the code. Today the opposite is true. If a man feels
himself to be a hunter, conquero r, or ardent pursuer, that is his own choice.
If a woman sees herself as prey, prize, or unattainable love object, that is
her decision. No single code operates anymore, and by making intimacy an
agreement, both parties can approach sexuality openly as something they
mutually want. Having sex with someone else does not imply that you have
entered his belief system or will fulfill her expectations. You are not
implicitly playing a part in his fantasy or expecting your versio n of love to
match hers.
But there is a price to pay. In. many ways sexual freedom is frightening
because of the loss of boundarie s. The old social code linked love and sex.
For a woman to believe that a man loved her because he desired her was
unchallenged. For a man to believe that having sex secured a woman’ s love
was just as natural. Now that this is a matter of agreement, it can also be a
cause of disagreement. Love and desire are essentially separate, a matter
open for discussion.
It is surprising how many people enter sexual intimacy with no idea of
what they are agreeing to. It is still common for both men and women to
bring expectatio ns to bed. Because these expectations are founded on
images from the past, they defeat the possibility of passionate surrender.
You cannot surrender to an image but can only play it out, and the more
often you play it out, the less spontaneous sex becomes.
To rob sex of its spontaneity makes it both false and ugly. Sexua lity is the
most spontaneous aspect of our lives. It is the one place where we do not
have to put at risk our abilities, intellect, and social personae. Playing a part
is a necessity none of us can completely escape in everyday life. We all
have roles as workers, family members, citizens, and so forth. Undeniably
this places strain  upon many other urges that would like to gain expression
but are not permitted to do so. You cannot give way to every  impulse of
anger at work, much less walk out at will. You cannot decide to stop
supporting a family on a whim, since the very fabric of society depends
upon bearing one’ s share of responsibility.
Duty hems in desire at every turn, to the point that most people come to
believe that suppressing their desires, holding themselves in check, is good.
Suppression is not good, howeve r; it is only expedient. Society requires that
we draw  limits on the expressi on of desire, which makes it all the morenecessary to have at least one area of life that is completely free and
uninhibited. Intimacy is meant to be just such an area. What is it that makes
sex free or inhibited, loving or merely pleasurable?
FREEDOM AND  INTIMACY
Many people deny themselves free, loving sex—even if they are not aware
of doing so—because they appro ach the sexual act in terms of results. They
assume that any orgasm is good, and a good orgasm is better. Not only do
we evaluate whether sex was “successful” but we hold up physical pleasure
as the primary goal. Pleasure is a natural thing but it is also an elusive one.
For some people  the pleasure of sex is that it promises a release for anxiety
and stress. For them “success”  is actually negative, being defined as the
escape from tension.
Other ingredients can be mixed into the sexual act that are far from
loving. Someone who has bottled-up rage inside will usually make love in a
way that is overly aggressive or competitive. A fearful person will typically
find it difficult to allow anything like a full release into bodily sensations;
his or her holdin g back is a passive way to act out fear and at the same time
miss any encounter with love.
There are many variations on this theme, for as much as we would wish
to be good lovers, we all bring our conflicts and needs to bed. Whatever
blocks our pleas ure also blocks love, because in sex pleasure is the doorway
to love.
Even though sex is meant to be uninhibited and free, there are always
degrees of freedom. Rarely do we believe that we deserve pleasure without
limits. How, then, can we give love without limits, or receive it?
Rather than examining the results of the sexual act, we need to consider
its begin nings. Intimacy starts not with a physical approach but with a set of
beliefs. The primary beliefs that defeat pleasure include the following:
Sex is too powerful and has to be controlled.
Sin is attached to sex, making it guilty and shameful.
Asking someone else to give you pleasure is greedy and selfish.
Surrendering to pleasure is the same as surrendering your power.What all of these beliefs have in common is that they provide a reason to
suppress desire.
When sex is deprived of its spiritual connection, some aspect of desir e is being suppr essed.
The spiritual dimension of sex is its joyfulness and ecstasy, its
communication of love between  two people. These qualities do not require
effort; they appear spontaneously when sex itself is spontaneous. However,
a great deal of spiritual teaching  has been openly antisexual. As long as the
credo “It is better to marry than to burn” was in effect, spiritua l value was
assigned not to intimacy but to chastity. When spiritual teachers held up
chastity as a virtue—as they have in every tradition East and West—the
intention was not to make pleas ure a sin but to elevate a highe r virtue that
by implication led to higher pleasure. One feels the truth in Krishnamurti’ s
words, “Trying to suppress sexual urges is a form of ugliness that in itself
cannot be chaste. Chastity of the monk with his vows is worldliness as long
as the urges are present. All walls of separateness turn life into a
battlefield.”
Chastity in the sense of purity is a spiritual good, but it should not be
mistaken for suppression of desire. When he asks why people try to repress
their desires, Krishnamurti makes the following beautiful  argument:
resisting the sexual urge has been held up as something good to do, but if
we look at it, resistance is born of fear. We are afraid of being wrong, of
stepping out of line. Society, anxious to make us conform, tells us that if we
don’t resist our sexual ur ges, we will go out of control.
Yet is this really true? If sex is natural, why does it have to be controlled?
In fact the whol e conflict over sex, the problems of neurosis and deviancy,
and sexual misbehavior, can be traced to resistance, not to sexual urges.
Resistance is always mental; it implies a judgment against what is actually
being felt. Sex becomes a problem when it gets mixed with hidden
emotions such as shame, anger, and guilt. Under those circumstances the
sexual impulse is confusing. When people ask questions like “Is it all right
to have  sex with anyone you want to?” or “Is it natural to be
monogamous


 those in the com-pany
including myself. I now go forth into a new day, full of faith,
confidence, and trust.”
This business executive repeated the above meditation slow ly three
times in the morning, feeling the truth of what he affirmed. When
fearful or angry thoughts came into his mind during the day, he would
say to himself, “Peace, harmony, and poise govern my mind at all
times.”
 162  As he continued disciplining his mind in this manner, all the
harmful thoughts ceased to come, and peace came into his mind. He
reaped the harvest.
Subsequently, he wrote me to the effect that at the end of ab out two
weeks of reordering his mind, the president and the vice presi dent
called him into the office, praised his operations and his n ew
constructive ideas, and remarked how fortunate they were in having
him as general manager. He was very happy in discovering tha t man
finds happiness within himself.
• The block or stump is not really there
I read a newspaper article some years ago, which told about a  horse
that had shied when he came to a stump on the road. Subsequently,
every time the horse came to that same stump, he shied. The farmer
dug the stump out, burned it, and leveled the old road. Yet, for twenty-
five years, every time the horse passed the place where the former
stump was, he shied. The horse was shying at the memory of a stump.
There is no block to your happiness save in your own thought life
and mental imagery. Is fear or worry holding you back? Fear is a
thought in your mind. You can dig it up this very moment by
supplanting it with faith in success, achievement, and victo ry over all
problems.
I knew a man who failed in business. He said to me, “I made
mistakes. I've learned a lot. I am going back into business, and I will
be a tremendous success.” He faced up to that stump in his mind. He
did not whine or complain, but he tore up the stump of failure, a nd
through believing in his inner powers to back him up, he banish ed all
fear thoughts and old depressions. Believe in yourself, and you will
succeed and be happy.
• The happiest people
The happiest man is he who constantly brings forth and practice s
what is best in him. Happiness and virtue complement each oth er. The
best are not only the happiest, but the happiest are usually t he best in
 163  the art of living life successfully. God is the highest and bes t in you.
Express more of God's love, light, truth, and beauty, and you will
become one of the happiest per-sons in the world today.
Epictetus, the Greek stoic philosopher, said, “There is but one way
to tranquility of mind and happiness; let this, therefore, be al ways
ready at hand with thee, both when thou wakest early in the morni ng,
and all the day long, and when thou goest late to sleep, to account no
external things thine own, but commit all these to God.”
• Summary of steps to happiness
1. William James said that the greatest discovery of the 19th cen tury
was the power of the subconscious mind touched by faith.
2. There is tremendous power within you. Happiness will come to
you when you acquire a sublime confidence in this power. Then, y ou
will make your dreams come true.
3. You can rise victorious over any defeat and realize the cheri shed
desires of your heart through the marvelous power of your
subconscious mind. This is the meaning of whoso-ever trusteth in the
Lord [spiritual laws of the subconscious mind], happy is he.
4. You must choose happiness. Happiness is a habit. It is a g ood
habit to ponder often on Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever
things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever thin gs are
pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good
report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think  on these
things. Phil. 4:8.
5. When you open your eyes in the morning, say to yourself, I
choose happiness today. I choose success today. I choose right acti on
today. I choose love and good will for all today. I choose peace today.
Pour  life, love, and interest into this affirmation, and you have chosen
happiness.
6. Give thanks for all your blessings several times a day. F ur-
thermore, pray for the peace, happiness, and prosperity of all m embers
of your family, your associates, and all people everywhere.
 164  7. You must sincerely desire to be happy. Nothing is accom-plished
without desire. Desire is a wish with wings of imagination and f aith.
Imagine the fulfillment of your de-sire, and feel its reality, and it will
come to pass. Happiness comes in answered prayer.
8. By constantly dwelling on thoughts of fear, worry, anger, hate,
and failure, you will become very depressed and un-happy.
Remember, your life is what your thoughts make of it.
9. You cannot buy happiness with all the money in the world. Some
millionaires are very happy, some are very unhappy. Many peopl e
with very little worldly goods are very happy, and some are ve ry
unhappy. Some married people are happy, and some very unhappy.
Some single people are happy, and some are very unhappy. The
kingdom of happiness is in your thought and feeling.
10. Happiness is the harvest of a quiet mind. Anchor your thoughts
on peace, poise, security, and divine guidance, and your mind will be
productive of happiness.
11. There is no block to your happiness. External things are not
causative; these are effects, not cause. Take your cue from the  only
creative principle within you. Your thought is cause, and a new cause
produces a new effect. Choose hap-piness.
12. The happiest man is he who brings forth the highest and the best
in him. God is the highest and the best in him, for the kingdom of God
is within.

Your Subconscious Mind and
Harmonious Human Relations
In studying this book, you learn that your subconscious mind is a
recording machine, which faithfully reproduces what-ever you
impress upon it. This is one of the reasons for the applicat ion of the
Golden Rule in human relations.
MATT. 7:12 says, All things whatsoever ye would that men should
do unto you, do ye even so to them. This quotation has outer and inner
meanings. You are interested in its inner mean-ing from the standpoint
of your subconscious mind, which is: As you would that men should
think about you, think you about them in like manner. As you would
that men should feel about you, feel you also about them in like
manner. As you would want men to act toward you, act you toward
them in like manner.
For example, you may be polite and courteous to someone in your
office, but when his back is turned, you are very critical an d
resentful  toward him in your mind. Such negative thoughts are hig hly
destructive to you. It is like taking poison. You are actually t aking
mental poisons, which rob you of vitality, en-thusiasm, strength,

down into your subconscious, and cause all kinds of difficulties an d
maladies in your life.
• The master key to happy relationships with others
Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judg-ment ye jud ge,
ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be
measured  to you again. MATTHEW 7:1-2.
A study of these verses and the application of the inner truth s
therein contained represent the real key to harmonious relati ons. To
judge is to think, to arrive at a mental verdict or conclusi on in your
 166  mind. The thought you have about the other person is your thought,
because you are thinking it.
Your thoughts are creative, therefore, you actually create in y our
own experience what you think and feel about the other person. It is
also true that the suggestion you give to another, you give to your self
because your mind is the creative medium.
This is why it is said, For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be
judged. When you know this law and the way your subconscious mind
works, you are careful to think, feel, and act rights toward the other.
These verses teach you about the emancipation of man and revea l to
you the solution to your individual problems.
• And with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you
again
The good you do for others comes back to you in like measure; and
the evil you do returns to you by the law of your own mind. If a man
cheats and deceives another, he is actually cheating and deceivi ng
himself. His sense of guilt and mood of loss


 lining the nose, throat and lungs prevent most unwan ted
microbes from entering  the body. Sticky mucus captures the great majority of germs and viruses, which are ejected when the
mucus is eliminated. Most germlife taken in food is destroyed by hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Bacteria and viruses that
manage to enter the bloodstrea m or lymph are unable to get through most healthy cellular membranes, and they face almost certain
destruction by other parts of the immune system.

The four elimination channels (skin, lungs and bronchials, kidneys, bowel) play an important part in immuni ty by ridding the body
of food wastes and metabolic wastes that would otherwise support the growth and multiplication of harmful germs and viruses.
The liver detoxifies the blood as a “backup system” for the elimination channels. The immune system, strictl y speaking, is made
up of the lymphatic system, including the spleen, tonsils and appendix and some breast tissue, but also the tnymus gland, the
Kupfer cells of the liver, and Peyer’s patches in the small intestine. The lymph system produces several types  of specialized cells
capable of destroying bacteria and unwanted foreign matter, white blood cells called by such interesting names as
polymorpholeucocytes, phagocytes, B -cells and T -cells. Kupfer cells, lining the spaces of the liver, consume bacteria fr om the
blood as it is filtered. The cells of the Peyer’s patches, in the small intestine, operate in a similar way, preventing destr uctive
bacteria from attacking the intestinal wall. Special cells in the spleen destroy old blood cells. The lymphatic syste m has thousands
of miles of lymph vessels in the body, paralleling the blood circulatory system. Along these lymph vessels are found nodes ra nging
in size from a pinhead to a pencil eraser, and clusters of these nodes are found in the groin, armpits and ne ck. Lymph nodes filter
out bacteria and foreign matter from the liquids of the body. Specialized white blood cells circulate in the blood and lymph,
destroying undesirable germlife and toxic waste as they go along. Antibodies and a chemical substance calle d interferon work
together to protect the body against viruses. Interferon is a chemical secreted in response to viral invasion, which protects  cells and
slows viral action. Antibodies are proteins whose job is to identify and destroy harmful viruses. In a  complex series of actions,
special cells first learn to identify the “weak spots” of harmful viruses, and then antibodies are manufactured which are abl e to
track down these vi -ruses, attach themselves directly to them, and destroy them.

When the elimina tion channels are underactive, toxic materials enter the blood and lymph systems too rapidly to be cleaned out by
the liver and immune system functions. These toxic materials settle in the inherently weak organs and tissues, either directl y
causing under -activity, or inviting infection by viruses or bacteria. The immune system becomes increasingly underactive, leaving
the body more and more unprotected against germlife, toxic wastes, and various chronic and degenerative diseases.
The strongest natural defen se against disease is a clean, rested body, chemically balanced with the proper foods, with healthy,
active elimination channels.

CASE HISTORIES AND TESTIMONIALS
DISCUSSION BETWEEN DR. P., AN EMINENT OSTEOPATHIC PHYSICIAN OF ENTON HALL, ENGLAND,  AND DR.
BERNARD JENSEN, ABOUT THE TISSUE CLEANSING PROGRAM
Dr. J. Doctor, you have just seen me go through a colema treatment. You have observed how the treatment works. Tell me what
you think of it.
Dr. R. To me, it is an eye opener and a verification of  what I have believed and have tried to overcome in our own colonic
machines; but I’ve never seen anything to equal the results that you are getting. I always felt it took weeks, if not months,  of
fasting and colonies to accomplish what you are getting in a relatively short length of time.
Dr. J. Do you think the colema process is thorough enough to provide long -term benefits for the whole body?
Dr. R. I am sure of it. Furthermore, when you are fasting, cleansing and eliminating, nature is squeezing her spo nge. She is
throwing these toxins into the intestinal tract, and you are able to bring them out in this spectacular way.
Dr. J. Have you ever seen specimens from the bowel demonstrated as well as in this cleansing program?
Dr. R. Never. In all my 50 year’s  experience with colonies, I’ve never seen anything to equal this.
Dr. J. From my experience with the tissue cleansing program, I can’t help feeling it is a process that would help everybody. I think
many people would profit from a good cleansing that woul d help keep them from trouble like hardening of the arteries, cholesterol
deposits, high triglycerides and so forth.
Dr. R. This is preventive medicine at its best, because atoxic bowel is the sewer of the body. It is the most important elimi native
structu re of the system, and to get this cleansed out and to give it a chance to function normally, I think is fundamental.
Dr. J. We have to compensate for the junk we’ve put into our bodies. I think it is almost a sin to have coffee and donuts, bu t God
only knows I was raised on them. I grew up on Danish pastry. There must be something built into my body pattern that is still ther e
to a certain extent, and I think that has to be cleaned out. This is one of those ways of going back and clearing out those t oxins
from polluted air, polluted water, junk foods and body acids induced by stress. To me, this seems the best way to compensate
for all of that.
Dr. R. Let’s put it this way, it is the fastest and best way I know of.
Dr. J. Don’t you feel that this along wi th nutrition provides the fundamentals to start with?
Dr. R. Absolutely. Clean out, and then build upon a sound nutritional basis. Most people only come to think senously of these
problems through personal ill health and not being able to find the solution. Then we start searching. Thank God, I landed in a
naturopathic school.
Dr. J. Well, I think it was a godsend that brought you here today to see this at the age of 78, after practicing 50 years. I am in the
same position, up in the 70s, and now I see some thing that I didn’t see before. Why wasn’t somebody there to tell me? Don’t you
feel that same thing about this cleansing program?
Dr. R. I am convinced of it. It’s an eye opener. It gives you a new dimension to your thinking, a realization that bowel func tion and
bowel toxemia are very real and very constant problems.
Dr. J. Have you ever seen anything like this before?
Dr.R. Never!

CASE HISTORIES
PATIENT 1
Patient complained of leg and foot problems; ulcers (open, running and partially encrusted on heel,  instep and outside ankle of
right foot; heel and instep of left foot); swollen ankles. The leg problems began two years prior to time of examination. Con ditions
previously treated without success by several physicians. Ulcers worsened. Unable to wear shoe s for over a year. Unable to wear
stockings previous three weeks due to increasing number of eruptions from ulcers. Blood pressure 80/58. Patient complained of
cold hands and feet.
HISTORY. Severe diarrhea for previous seven and a half years. Seven or eigh t bowel movements per day. No relief from either
drugstore medications or prescription drugs. Hospitalized with kidney stone attack in January 1976 (four years ago) with surg ery
recommended by hospital staff physicians. Refused surgery, treated self at wif e’s recommendation with vitamins and nutritional
supplements for two months. No recurrence of kidney stone attacks since that time. (Lab test after examination showed creatin ine
level at 0.6 mg/dl —within normal range.) Family history of foot problems. Pate rnal grandfather died of gangrene which first
appeared on right foot. Physician’s diagnosis of grandfather included hardening of arteries, low blood pressure and diabetes.  After
right leg amputation, gangrene appeared on left foot. Amputation of left leg f ollowed by recurrence of gangrene on stumps of both
legs. Death resulted two years after left leg amputation. Patient’s mother suffered from swollen right ankle during heat of s ummers
in Midwest. Physician advised that problem was due to heart condition. P atient reported that his brothers and sisters all had
varicose veins, as well as his paternal grandfather. Mother and one brother died of colitis. One physician who saw patient (a n
acupuncturist) diagnosed problem with feet as due to colitis, reasoning th at male children inherit mother’s problems, female
children inherit father’s problems. Patient left without taking treatments because the physician simply assumed the diagnosis. In
1976, patient had complete medical examination with EKG, chest X -ray, usual  lab tests and several biopsies of the stomach.

could not take urine in the required quantity as the passing of urine was not sufficient. So there was inflammation on the legs which increased gradually. So I had to see a doctor to get that treated. But instead of being cured, I lost 10-11 lb. of water in the form of urine. My weight which was 100 lb. fell to mere 89 lb. and I felt myself extremely weak. As a result there was an attack of paralysis on 21st of September, for which doctors administered injections. The reaction was contrary to the expectation and the passing of urine ceased and there was acute pain. A doctor in neighbourhood was called to ge the urine out but it was not sufficient because there was again obstruction. Twenty-four hours passed and the pain was unbearable. The doctor had to be called again. There is every danger of urinary tube getting inflamed by insertion of instrument again and again. I suggested urine as an antiseptic liquid for this instrument to be used internally. The 201 doctor agreed and followed my suggestion. Then 19 ounces of urine was taken out. It was dense, dirty and red. However, I got some relief and soon after I felt pressure for urination. Urine passed in drops and there was acute burning sensation. For this, the doctor prescribed four tablets of certain medicine. I expressed my doubt the reaction of those tablets.  This set me athinking. Soon I was clear in my mind. What a fool am I? I advise others to adopt urine treatment and am pleased to hear them do so. Why should I not again experiment on myself? The flow of urine increased gradually as I took more and more urine repeatedly.. The burning sensation diminished proportionately. Thus in 8 days my urine was clear and its flow was regular. There was no burning any more and I was saved from a great danger. I am writing this account after one month of the cure and I am now completely free from the trouble.”  Manav Mootra by R.M.

Zavei from Morvi, Saurashtra, has a business of jewellery at Bombay. He is 81. Being very old, he leads a retired life in his bungalow 'Kuber-Bhavan' at Nasik Road. He had greatly benefited himself by urine therapy and has donated Rs. 1 000/- to Bharat Sevak Samaj for the noble work of the publicity of urine treatment. He writes of his successes:  1. My constipation had been removed to a great extent. Now the stools are of natural colour. 2. Piles are eliminated altogether. 3. Appetite has been revived and I enjoy my meals. 4. A scar of dry ringworm was cleared by urine rubbing. 5. I have no trouble whatsoever in the back. 6. Urination is easy but slight burning sensation is still there due to the narrowing down of the passage. 202 7. Getting up for urination at night is not more than once or twice. 8. Previously as soon as some urine was accumulated, I had to urinate. Now the feeling of urination arises only when the bladder is full. 9. There is no attack of cold or fever or pain in the chest. 10. Eruption near the left ear has gone. 11. Two small spots on the right-hand affected with white leprosy have been almost cleared. 12. lching Sensation disappeared by urine massage in the very beginning. 13. Now everything gets digested without any ill-effect. Thus I have been benefited in a number of ways and there is no exaggeration in what I have stated.”  Manav Mootra by R.M.

, and a little sugar. His red and green and black tinctures, prescribed five or ten drips at a time mixed in  a glass of
water several times daily, were only water and alcohol, some colorant and something bitter tasting, but harmless. Placebos in other
words.
    Upon confessing, Dr. Jennings had to run for his life. I believe he ended up retiring on the western frontier, in Indiana. So me of
his fo rmer patients were extremely angry because they had paid good money, top dollar for "real" medicines, but were given only
flour and water. The fact that they got better didn't seem to count.
     If the physicians curative procedure suppresses the symptom and/or lowers the vital force with toxic drugs or surgery, (either
result will often as not end the complaint) the allopathic doctor is practicing bad medicine. This doctor too will have a hig h cure
rate and a good business (if they have an effective bedsi de manner) because their drugs really do make the current symptoms
vanish very rapidly. Additionally, their practice harmonizes with a common but vicious dramatization of many people which goe s:
when a body is malfunctioning, it is a bad body and needs to be punished. So lets punish it with poisons and if that don't work, lets
really punish it by cutting out the offending part.
    However, if the physician can do something that will do no harm but raises the vital force and/or lowers the level of toxemia,
this doctor will have a genuine cure rate higher than either of the two techniques. Why does raising the vital force help? Be cause it
reduces enervation, improves the digestion, lowers the creation of new toxins and improves the function of the organs of
elimination, also reducing the toxic overload that is causing the complaint.
    Techniques that temporarily and quickly rais e the vital force include homeopathy, chiropractic, vitamin therapy, massage,
acupuncture and acupressure and many more spiritually oriented practices. Healers who use these approaches and have a good
bedside manner can have a very good business, they can have an especially -profitable practice if they do nothing to lower the level
of toxemia being currently generated. Their patients do experience prompt relief but must repeatedly take the remedy. This ma kes
for satisfied customers and a repeat business.
    The best approach of all focuses on reducing the self -generated level of toxemia, cleansing to remove deposits of old toxemia,
rebuilding the organs of elimination and digestion to prevent the formation of new toxemia, and then, to alleviate the curren t
symptoms and make it easier for the patient to be patient while their body heals, the healer raises artificially and temporari ly the
vital force with vitamins, massage, acupressure, etc. This wise and benevolent physician is going to have the highest cure r ate
among those wise patients who will accept the prescription, but will not make as much money because the patients permanently
get better and no longer need a physician. There's not nearly as much repeat business.
    Colonics are one of the best types o f medicine. They clean up deposits of old toxemia (though there are sure to be other deposits
in the body's tissues colonics do not touch). Colon cleansing reduces the formation of new toxemia from putrefying fecal matt er
(but dietary reform is necessary t o maximize this benefit). Most noticeable to the patient, a colonic immediately alleviates current
symptoms by almost instantly reducing the current toxic load. A well -done enema or colonic is such a powerful technique that a
single one will often make a s evere headache vanish, make an onsetting cold go away, end a bout of sinusitis, end an asthmatic
attack, reduce the pain of acute arthritic inflammation, reduce or stop an allergic reaction. Enemas are also thrifty: they a re self -
administered and can preve nt most doctor's visits seeking relief for acute conditions.
    Diseases of the colon itself, including chronic constipation, colitis, diverteculitis, hemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome,  and
mucous colitis, are often cured solely by an intensive series  of several dozen colonics given close together. Contrary to popular
belief, many people think that if they have dysentery or other forms of loose stools that a colonic is the last thing they ne ed.
Surprisingly, a series of colonics will eliminate many of these conditions as well. People with chronic diarrhea or loose stools are
usually very badly constipated. This may seem a contradiction in terms but it will be explained shortly.
    A century ago there was much less scientific data about the functioning of the human body. Then it was easy for a hygienically -
oriented physician to come to believe that colonics were the single best medicine available. The doctor practicing nothing bu t
colonics will have a very high rate of cure and a lot of very satisfied cl ients. Most importantly, this medicine will have done no
harm.

The Repugnant Bowel
    I don't know why, but people of our culture have a deep -seated reluctance to relate to the colon or it's functions. People don't
want to think about the colon or perso nally get involved with it by giving themselves enemas or colonics. They become deeply
embarrassed at having someone else do it for them. People are also shy about farts, and most Americans have a hard time not
smiling or reacting in some way when someone in their presence breaks wind, although the polite amongst us pretend that we
didn't notice. Comedians usually succeed in getting a laugh out of an audience when they come up with a fart or make referenc e to
some other bowel function. People don't react th e same way to urinary functions or discharges, although these also may have an
unpleasant odor and originate from the same "private" area.

    When I first mention to clients that they need a minimum of 12 colonics or many more enemas than 12 during a fas ting or
cleansing program they are inevitably shocked. To most it seems that no one in their right mind would recommend such a
treatment, and that I must certainly be motivated by greed or some kind of a psychological quirk. Then I routinely show them
reproductions of X -rays of the large intestine showing obvious loss of normal structure and function resulting from a combination
of constipation, the effects of gravity, poor abdominal muscle tone, emotional stress, and poor diet. In the average colon mo re than
50% of the hastrum (muscles that impel fecal matter through the organ) are dysfunctional due to loss of tone caused by impact ion
of fecal matter and/or constriction of the large intestine secondary to stress (holding muscular tension in the abdominal ar ea) and
straining during bowel movement.

The average person also has a prolapsed (sagging) transverse colon, and a distorted misplaced ascending and descending colon.  I
took a course in colon therapy before purchasing my first colonic machine. The chiropr actor teaching the class required all of his
patients scheduled for colonics to take a barium enema followed by an X -ray of their large intestine prior to having colonics and
then make subsequent X -rays after each series of 12 colonics. Most of his patient s experienced so much immediate relief they
voluntarily took at least four complete series, or 48 colonics, before their X -rays began to look normal in terms of structure. It also
took about the same number, 48 colonics, for the patients to notice a signif icant improvement in the function of the colon. In
reviewing over 10,000 X -rays taken at his clinic prior to starting colonics, the chiropractor had seen only two normal colon X -rays
and these were from farm boys who grew up eating simple foods from the ga rden and doing lots of hard work.
The X -rays showed that it took a minimum of 12 colon treatments to bring about a minimal but observable change in the structure
of the colon in the desired direction, and for the patient to begin to notice that bowel func tion was improving, plus the  fact that
they started to feel better.

From my point of view the most amazing part of this whole experience was that the chiropractor did not recommend any dietary
changes whatsoever. His patients were achieving great succes s from colonics alone. I had thought dietary changes would be
necessary to avoid having the same dismal bowel condition return. I still think colonics are far more effective if people are  on a
cleansing diet too. However, I was delighted to see the potenti al for helping people through colonics.
    For me, the most interesting part of this colonic school was that I personally was required to have my own barium enema and X -
ray. I was privately certain that mine would look normal, because after all, I had bee n on a raw food diet for six years, and done
considerable amount of fasting, all of which was reputed to repair a civilized colon. Much to my surprise my colon looked jus t as
mangled and dysfunctional as everyone else's', only somewhat worse because it had  a loop in the descending colon similar to a
cursive letter "e" which doctors call a volvulus. Surgeons like to cut volvululii out because they frequently cause bowel
obstructions. It seemed quite unfair. All those other people with lousy looking colons ha d been eating the average American diet
their whole life, but


 become available as a result of his model.

As a periodontist, I  soon became convinced that to treat those things in the mouth
that cause gum disease is only partial treatment. Based on a great deal of evidence, I
was convinced that if the body of the patient was well nourished and the machinery
in the mouth was working properly the patient w ill not have gum tissue breakdown.
As a result of this thinking over many years, I  have taken several nutrition courses.
Thanks to time spent with Dr. Roger Williams, and a great deal of reading and
studying, I  had established specific criteria for a nutritional program. With no
exception, (and that was not a program I  could easily use in my practice) none of the
nutrition courses satisfied my criteria.
International Health Institute's (Dr. Kelley's) program was the first program I  saw
that at least on paper appeared both to be practical and to fill my requirements.
However, since I  had been led down umpteen primrose paths by other "nutrition"
programs, I  was very skeptical of the Metabolic Medicine program.
When, with great skepticism, I  started my own Metabolic Medicine program, I  felt I
was in excellent health. I  had only one health problem that I  was aware of and that
was that I  had nasal polyps, which were caused by allergies.
The polyps were particularly bad in winter. I  could not breathe through my nose at
all. So after having the polyps surgically removed I  was referred to an allergist. The
allergist found I  was allergic to dust and all dairy products. I  already knew about the
allergy to the dairy products because after a heavy dairy meal, my nose would
completely close due to the swelling of the polyps.
To control the growth of the polyps, the allergist recommended weekly "allergy
shots." For two years, they worked well and I  could breathe fairly well through my
nose in the winter. During the third and fourth years, the allergy shots did not work as
well and I  had trouble breathing through my nose. During the fifth and sixth years,
the allergy shots did not work at all. I  couldn't breathe through my nose at all in the
winter and very little in the summer. My allergist now informed me the only thing that
would help me was cortisone injections. Knowing the undesirable effects of
cortisone, I  refused.
Things got bad enough that finally I  had one cortisone injection.
When I  began my Metabolic Medicine program, I  informed Dr. Kelley of my
allergy to dairy products and asked him if anything could be done to help. To my
surprise, Dr. Kelley said he was not at all interested in my specific allergies, but he
176
Winning The Cancer War
was interested in getting the body working right so I  would not be allergic to
anything. I  was very doubtful of Dr. Kelley and the entire program at that time.
When I  filled out my Nutritional Evaluation Survey, I  discovered many health
normalities that I  never knew existed. Filling out my survey, indeed, was an
experience in self-discovery and understanding. If the information and the claims for
what it indicated were correct, this was the most valuable physical examination and
insight into my inner workings I  had ever experienced. However, I  had grave
reservations as to the truth of diagnosis made from this information and the blood test
and urinalysis.
Therefore, I  went into the program not only skeptical, but almost with a chip on my
shoulder. Based on past experiences, I  felt sure I  was wasting my time and money.
I  have now been on the program for several years. Even during the first winter, with
no allergy shots, no cortisone (and no allergist), my nose was open all winter. I  could
breathe through my nose!
Being suspicious, I  could not give the Metabolic Medicine program full credit for
my feeling so good. So I  went back to my Metabolic Medicine's Self-Test book and
compared all the signs and symptoms with where they are now. By checking these
signs and symptoms, I  had an objective way of seeing what this program was doing to
my internal machinery!
To put it mildly, the Metabolic Medicine program has been a great success for me.
My allergies are under control. I  have never felt better. In addition, with the
Metabolic Medicine's Self-Test book, I  have been able to see objectively what is
happening with me. With these objective observations of myself, with certainty, at
least for me, the program is an unqualified huge success.
Now that I  am convinced, I  am offering this program to all of my dental patients. I
know it does the job. I  know it is what we need to get our internal machinery to do
the job.

As a farm boy, I  had the opportunity to observe the habits of animals, both
domesticated and wild, and in those days mankind was living closer to nature and
using none of today's processed foods. I  am 84 years young, and I  see that it's quite
difficult for this present generation to realize how the pioneers existed and thrived
with very few fatal degenerative illnesses such as cancer.
In any "health" profession, the practitioner has a good opportunity to observe the
results obtained by the various modalities of treating the physical defects of his or her
patients. It is estimated that 85% of our learning is acquired through our eyes.
When I  got out of college and started to practice my profession of fitting glasses, I
soon realized that there must be an underlying cause of so much myopia
(nearsightedness), cataracts, glaucoma, etc. As I  gave the subject more study, it was
clear to me that man was creating most of his eye problems by incorrect diet and
poor choice of foods.
For this reason, I  took several courses in naturopathy and studied and read
everything I  could find in health books and magazines that dealt with the subject.
Many of my patients are so nearsighted that they are unable to see 20/20 on the
eye chart. It is quite common for them to blame watching television and thus avoid
the real cause, which is faulty diet and junk foods. Through the science of iridology, it
is quite easy to observe unhealthy body conditions as well as deposits of drugs.
I  always try to emphasize basic health principles such as the importance of proper
diet and tell my patients to avoid sugar, soft drinks and refined foods. Some will listen
and, if they do, in a very short time their eyesight will improve. I  have even had cases
where I  was then able to reduce the strength of the lenses.
One patient, aged 75, had cataracts. I  sent her to an Ophthalmologist, and he told her
she would have to have surgery in three months. I  told her of Dr. Kelley's nutritional
program and my wife, who is one of Dr. Kelley's Technicians, had her evaluated. She
followed the program and when she returned to the Ophthalmologist, he told her she
would never have to have the surgery.
Another patient quite suddenly lost 70% of her eyesight. She went on Dr. Kelley's
nutritional program and in a matter of six weeks her eyesight returned.
When Dr. Kelley says we have been starving for 30 years, I  certainly agree for I  am in
a position to observe this.
Dr. Kelley is no less than 75 years ahead of his time. Although this book deals
primarily with cancer, that is by no means the limit to his concepts and abilities. I

have seen many of the patients with other degenerative disease respond equally as
well as the cancer patients.
Lloyd H. Price, O.D.
Des Moines, IA
Dr. Jack O. Taylor (Doctor of Chiropractic)
I  had always held nutrition of some importance and often gave my patients rather
inconsistent advice about "improving your diet" or "why not try this vitamin for that
symptom?" After several years of dealing with sick people, some of whom I  knew
were on good diets, and some junk eaters, I  began to realize that we were healthy not
solely as a result of our intake, but instead, we were healthy or sick as a result of what
our bodies did with the intake. It was discouraging to suggest the same "balanced"
diet for several patients, getting entirely nowhere with many and having dramatic
positive responses from others. Searching through the available literature seemed to
add to my questions rather than provide answers.
Several years ago a very dear friend developed cancer and my wife was in to
accompany her to Dr. W illiam Donald Kelley.

Douglas Clayton Hoover
Author

 Douglas is a retired contractor, author, freelance writer, inventor, designer,
architect and lives in San Diego, CA with his wife Alice.

He is the founder and developer of
the “
Distillation Station,” the
very “first bottled water vending machines in the United States.”

The original station was placed in Bill's IGA Store, Brooklyn, Michigan, in
1976. Douglas Hoover has been studying water and its relationship to
health for over 40 years.

He rarely debates with the distilled water naysayers, because, “A man with
an experience is not at the mercy of a man with an argument.”
Douglas is a living example of the miraculous health benefits of a “
fasting
lifestyle
” and drinking plenty of distilled water.

In the year 1976, just a
stone's throw from the
Michigan International
 Speedway, in Bill's IGA
(Independent Grocers Association
) distilled
 water was being installed by
Doug Hoover of the Aquamedia Corporation. Nine years later, in June of
1985, the owner of Bill's IGA store reported sales
of Crystal
 Distilled
drinking water was in excess of 2500 gallons per week in addition to over
1,500 pounds
of Crystal

Distilled ice
 cubes. Brooklyn has a population of
1,300! He was excited to add
that the Crystal

Distilled drinking
 water from
the Distillation
 Station produced the highest profit margin of any item in his
store." Crystal Distilled water and ice is produced by steam vapor
compression distillation which kills all bacteria and cysts, removing
everything from the water, resulting in the purest, healthiest water
available, distilled!

 seminar.
Immediately I made the decision and I went to listen to it.
Jt made an impression on me. FUUng me with faith in her words was so cJear that
any doubt of the treatments did not fit me.
God was healing by means of the Urine
Returning in the evening to my house I remembered but I could not
85 do the therapy, but immediately I requested God to help me start the method.
The following day I spoke to Sonia the Chemist and commented to her that I had
tonsillitis. She answered me, I now have greater reason to initiate with the
therapy. I started the therapy and on the third day after the tonsillitis disappeared.
This mortal disease of diabetes was taken by its roots from me and in
gratefulness to God of love, goodness and mercy I am cured.
I did my fasting of 3 days.
To conclude,
t presented that May 7th of this year, to get tested to see the count of my sugar.
Before taking my Urine my count was 348.
I was taken by surprise that my sugar was completely normal.
Later and better yet, I confessed to my Medical doctor that for the last 18 days
I had not taken any of his prescribed drugs.
This was after I drank between 4 and 5 glasses of Urine daily. In addition, for ten
days I was eating everything and most with sugar.
Also I said to him that two days before my analysis I had loaded my body with
sugar. After eating many fresh sugar waters and foods with sugar it was a double
surprise for my doctor and for the hospital care takers.
They tried to explain to me that diabetes is a traitor and that I would have to
continue doing the examination every month, to which 1 refused.
Immediately I took leave of my Doctor
thanking him for receiving his medical attentions.
People invigorate yourself with hope. You are not at the end of life.
Give yourself to God and do this therapy in his name so you will be healed as I
will continue my fasting and prayers for all.
TESTIMONY 59*
TVMOR of GAVl£ BlADD£~ D1AB£T£S.
Guillermo R. Orozco {Mexico}
I am 59 years of age. I am an architect and work as a public server
for the government in the Jalisco state.
As a student, I exceeded my sugar intake with cakes, taquitos, etc.
In the year 1976, diverticulos in the intestine was detected in me.
It caused constant sourness in my stomach. I had to resort to any medicine.
In 1980, gall stones by means of the ultrasound were detected.,
I was operated in October of 1995.
In 1990 it appeared to me in the left thigh a tumor,
of which It was surgically removed.
On my recreational time I played American football with the U.N.A.M.
J got hit and I broke the partition of my nose that later caused chronic sinusitis.
This hit prevented me to breathe by the nose.
f also underwent a break of the thumb of the left hand.
In 1992, diabetes and high blood pressure was detected.
86 To all this I add that I have been quite a nervous and apprehensive person.
tn 1990 to January of the present year, I began to take excessive medicine from
an allopathic doctor. I understand this medicine has destroyed my antibodies.
Because I began with pulmonary diseases I had strong colds every year.
They lasted up to two months and because of more antibiotics that they gave me,
I could not be cured.
I had the luck to study " the Word of God " (the Bible).
It was in the catholic Biblical institute of this city of Guac;lalajara.
Within this study, 1 found the faith that Jesus gave to me. Then 1 began to request
"Give me the desire to live Jesus. Take away my tumors, 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, J arrived and J 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.
1 went to even 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 welt
I could not distinguish 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 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 weiJ.
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}.
87 The following day I was with the family doctor whom I explained the method with
Urine. 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 smaU baU 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, gave lectures in the temples.
I did not obtain full information until from a bookstore I asked for
II the Water of Life II or II Urine-therapy II. 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. Having 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 foUowed 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 commented my doubts to her 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 check control of the hospital
I see people who leave with a pile of medicines.
It makes me fee11ike putting a great signboard on my chest
that God says 11 I love you, drink your Urine 11
•
88 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.
Jt is worth the troubJe to remember a BibJicaJ appointment:
" Everything what 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.

When you think or say, “No! I don’ t want this,” it immediately causes
resistance in you, and it’ s the resistance that produces the bad feelings. And
then, as if it isn’ t enough that w e resist a situation, we go ahead an d resist  the
bad feel ings as well. W e find ourselves feeling even worse, trapped in a web
of b ad feelings caused not act ually by anything happening in the outside
world, but by ou r own reactions. Our resistance to what is happening and our
negative feelings not only hold the situation we don’ t want firmly to us, but
also drain our body of ener gy and even impact our immune system!
“Feeling sad about anything is h olding on to it. Say, ‘This is som ething I have
to let go of,’ and immediately you will feel better.”
Lester Levenson, fr om  Happiness Is Free, volumes 1–5
Positive feelings  are completely ef fortless because they’re the true nature of
A wareness. W e are made of positive feelings; we are made of j oy, happiness,
and love. Negati ve feelings require a huge amount of ener gy to maintain, and
it’ s the reason w hy we’re exhausted if we lose it during the day. A bout of
negative emotion such as when we lose our temper will wipe u s out, because
it has taken so much ef fort and ener gy to build it up and sustain it. It takes
ef fort be cause it’ s not who we are; when we feel any negative fe elings, in that
moment we are fighting against who we are.
“‘Me’ maintenance takes a lot of ener gy.”
Peter Lawry
“It takes a lot of ener gy to be a person. It takes no ener gy to be yourself.”
Mooji
“After you let go of enough ego, you naturally feel the peace an d joy of your
Self.”
Lester Levenson, fr om  Happiness Is Free, volumes 1–5Positive, good feelings occur n aturally in the absence of neg ative feelings.
Y ou don’ t have to make any ef fort to have positive feelings. All you have to
do i s let go of bad feelings, an d then you’ll naturally feel hap py and really
good.
“Love is ef fortless, and hate requires much ef fort.”
Lester Levenson, fr om  Happiness Is Free, volumes 1–5
Buried Feelings
“Much o f the emotional burden  you now carry began life as a  pushed-away
feeling.”
Jan Frazier, fr om  The Freedom of Being
From the time w e were young children, we have unconsciously suppressed
countless bad feelings, which a re now stored in our subconscio us mind. The
bad feelings remain buried in th e subconscious mind, diminishi ng our ener gy
and our life. All of that ener gy  is trapped in the body, and it’ s this trapped
ener gy that plays havoc on the body’ s health and on the circumstances of our
life.
Bad feel ings or negative feeling s are the only feelings we suppress and bury,
and so suppressed feelings and negative feelings are actually th e same thing.
The anger that y ou feel when yo u get angry is the very same suppressed anger
coming from deep inside you.
In addition, suppressed negative feelings have many negative thoughts
attached to them, which are th e thoughts that made us feel bad in the first
place as well as all the thoughts we’ve had ever since tha t are connected to the
negative feeling. The thoughts that are attached to the suppre ssed negative
feeling keep us trapped in the  mind by continually recycling themselves,
detrimentally af fecting our life and preventing us from realizing our true self.
Babies and children under abou t three years of age don’ t suppress emotions
because they’re naturally living in their true nature of A ware ness, so they
automatically le t go of emotio ns. It’ s the reason why you see babies and
toddlers go from tears to smiles  and laughter in seconds; they don’ t resist any
emotion.
“By the time we  are labeled adu lts, we are so good at suppressing that most of
the time it is totally second nature. W e become as good or better at
suppressing as we originally were at letting go. In fact, we have suppressed so
much of  our emotional ener gy th at we are all a little like walkin g time bombs.
Often, w e don’ t even know th at we have suppressed our true emotional
reactions until it is too late: our  body shows signs of stress-rel ated illnesses,
our shou lders are stuck in our ears, our stomach is in knots, or we have
exploded and said or done something that we now regret.”
Hale Dwoskin, fr om  The Sedona Method
When yo u have a negative experience that causes bad feelings, unless you let
go of the bad feeling compl etely, it ends up being pushe d down andsuppressed inside you.
Even when you might think that you got something of f your chest, or that the
situation that upset you was resolved, unless you specifically let go of the
negative feeling, it will remain with you, suppressed in your subconscious
mind.
“The expression of negative feelings allows just enough of the inner pressure
to be let out so that the remainder can then be suppressed. T his is a very
important point to understand, for many people in society toda y believe that
expressing their feelings frees them from the feelings. The facts are to the
contrary.”
Dr. David R. Hawkins, fr om  Letting Go
So, letti ng of f steam or ventin g isn’ t the answer. That will just add more
ener gy to our already suppressed emotion, because expressed feelings get
suppressed too.
Sometimes we also deliberately  repress our bad feelings, and they also are
pushed down into the subcons cious. W e deliberately repress our emotions
when we push aside feelings that make us uncomfortable, like grief and
sadness, or when we stifle feelings like anger.
“Suppression is keeping a lid on our emotions, pushing them  back down,
denying them, repressing them  and pretending that they don ’ t exist. Any
emotion that comes into awaren ess that is not let go of is automatically stored
in a part of our mind called the subconscious. A big part of how we suppress
our emotions is by escaping them.”
Hale Dwoskin, fr om  The Sedona Method
Imagine you have a disappointin g experience with a family member or friend.
Y our opinion is that the person let you down, and you’re di sappointed in
them. That feeling of disappoin tment remains suppressed withi n you, and the
pressure of the trapped emotional ener gy builds up until some of it has to be
released. The suppressed disapp ointment has to find an outlet to take some
pressure of f the body, so it will find people, circumstances, or e vents that will
disappoint you, enabling some  of its built-up ener gy to be released. This
applies to every negative feelin g that you have ever suppressed, and most of
us have suppres sed the whole gamut of negative feelings. If you’ve felt it,
you’ve suppressed it.
If y ou ever fe el annoyed, then you know that annoyance  was already
suppressed inside you. If you didn’ t have it suppressed inside you already, you
wouldn’ t be able to feel annoyed about anything. So, any time you feel
annoyed it’ s the original annoya nce that you felt and suppressed  that’ s coming
out. And it’ s th e case with ev ery negative feeling, whether that be anger,
frustration, irritation, revenge, hate, depression, grief, despair, jealousy, guilt,
shame, impatience, disillusionment, disappointment, aggravation, or being
overwhelmed. U nfortunately, we suppressed many negative feelings as
children because in our innocence they were too hurtful for us to handle, and
then as life went on, it became a habit to push our feelings aw ay instead ofletting them be. So, we’ve likely all had a lifetime of s uppressing or
repressing bad feelings.
Y our mind will c over up the true  cause of a bad feeling by using projection to
convince you that your feeling was caused by something in the world.
“[The mind] blames events or other people for ‘causing’ a feeling and views
itself as  the helpless innocent victim of external causes. ‘Th ey made me
angry,’ ‘He got me upset,’ ‘It scared me,’ ‘W orld events are the cause of my
anxiety.’ Actually, it’ s the exact opposite. The suppressed and repressed
feelings seek an outlet and utili ze the events as triggers and excuses to vent
themselves. W e  are like pressure-cookers ready to release steam when the
opportunity aris es. Our triggers are set and ready to go
