Ivanov. in the late nineteenth century miner's family in
Ukrainian baby boy, whom her parents named Porphyry.
He graduated four years of parochial school and went
work. Up to 36 years, he lived an ordinary life, but it constantly
overcome by the thought of how to help people live better, to teach
they are not ill and do not die so early. in 1934 it several times
a dream from which he realized that man can not fight
the negative influences of nature and learn to use them
with benefit to themselves. He began to put on his first experiments on
tempering - to go hatless, barefoot all year round, then
began to walk all year round without outer clothing, pour cold
water. Soon he developed a phenomenal ability - he
could go without food and water two weeks, could go for 2-3 hours
submerged in the sea in winter. To test himself he went out in my shorts
74
74the steppe in the snow for several hours, ran hundreds of miles of
Off-road, in the winter with no clothes drove a few hours on the tender
locomotive. During the occupation, the Germans buried him naked in the snow
or hours were taken on a motorcycle - he will not get even a cold.
In addition to health he developed a very strong psychic
and bioenergetic capacity, which helped him to heal
most complex diseases, including long-term paralysis of the legs,
psoriasis, ulcers, tuberculosis, stomach cancer, and more. He lived not
in the best manifestation of such extraordinary abilities
time - these were the years of revolution and terror of the Cheka, the Patriotic
War, the years of totalitarian rule of the Communist Party. He
many times he was arrested, 12 years in total spent in psychiatric
hospitals, but this did not break it. He tried to convey their ideas
people through the press, but it was almost impossible in those years of hard
administration. He had hundreds of followers,
which he passed on his knowledge. He died aged 85 in 1982
year.
His teaching Porfiry Ivanov called "Baby." Basic ideas
of 12 items contained in his letter that he sent to many
people. In addition, he led a record-reflections in their notebooks, a part of
which was published only in recent years.
What is the essence of teaching AP Ivanova? He believed that the man in vain
detached from nature, only in communion with it can become quite
healthy man. "Nature has it all. it has air, water, earth
- Three of the main body, who one fine day all of us
given. P. Ivanov doctrine and materialistic just in form but
into account the presence in the world around certain forces that help
person to live in communion with nature.
We are interested in what happens when we are starving in accordance with
"Kids". Energy is obtained as follows: during fasting
the body does not waste energy on the disposal of food and water. All
energy goes to the destruction of dead cells that formed
connective tissue, adhesions, tumors, etc., and rendering them
organism. Usually, when people are starving, they have a headache, and then
have a sense of hunger. According to the medicine, if something hurts
- Means it's bad. Means necessary to stop fasting, which usually
many do. But it hurts because there begins to flow
energy, there is a rapid process - reduction, but
First, they are as destructive - and why it hurts. When
no longer a headache - the output of slag begins (some
appears taste blood in my mouth, bad breath). This
goes throughout the body, but my head feels it first. Small
Item: hungry must be "dry", ie do not drink a drop of water. Water us
needed primarily for detoxification. If we do not eat that food,
which is fighting the body, which he cleans, then
Some time we will be transported freely desire to drink
water. We would not want to drink. Our body is particularly strong
75
75struggles with food of animal origin and artificial
products.
Days dry fasting approximately equal to three days
fasting with water. Breath at a dry starvation appears
at the end of the first day, while "normal" fasting - at the end
third day. Starve to 42 hours, so we have to go to bed
hungry, hungry to spend all day and all morning
the next day. Eat only the third day at lunch. At first
fasting must necessarily take seriously. Fasting a
once a week - it's the small "baby", and full of "Kids" - three times
a week. Wednesday and Saturday for 42 hours, but added Monday
24 hours, ie 108 hours a week. At the big "baby" is
threefold cyclical cleansing of the body. What happens
in the body in the so-called followers of "edalnye Days of the week
(Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday)? It is assumed that these days
associated initially with the accumulation of energy reserves. Then they
distribution of requests from each cell to the chromosomes. Then
is the correction of metabolic processes, taking into account the selected
Resources and counting the trapped body of excess capacity,
which causes the need for purification and allows him to former
living conditions for acquiring skills and the psychology of the new image
life without the use and protection of any conditions of nature.
Working with the physical body
Being a man, far from all sorts of spiritual quest, P.
Ivanov focused on the work hardening is
physical body. "Harden not want, is in constant
warm, "diluted" state. as a result of our body
spreads the disease, health is declining, the heart weakens, consciousness
fades, there comes a lack of will. and no pill will not help here, so
how the human body like standing quagmire.
His system consists of daily walks or standing barefoot
on the ground or in the snow, throwing the legs, and then the whole body with cold
water bath, bathing in cold natural water twice a day, dry
fasting (without water) from Friday night till 12 o'clock on Sunday. in his
system has no special exercises to warm up the body, but nevertheless
people who hold it, showing very good results
in sports competitions. He did not give specific recommendations on
Diet, except the Board did not overeat, avoid excesses in eating.
One time he and a group of followers fasted for four days a week,
that is, 200 days a year. while all lived and worked as usual.
One important condition was the requirement immediately quit drinking
and smoking. He himself helped to do this to someone who did not succeed.
Some of his advice seemed at odds with other
sanitary systems. For example, he recommended never
do not spit and do not put out any phlegm and swallow
them. He never cut my hair, because he believed that through them our
brain gets extra food.
76
76Working with the energy body
A very large part of the system is aimed at strengthening both times
energy body. Daily dousing of cold water
buckets on the street in all weather conditions - is a powerful energy shake-up
organism in which it departs from the whole alien power
(Evil eye damage) and restore the natural protective system
rights.
Much attention is paid to breathing Ivanov. He recommended
every day, morning and evening, making for three deep breaths of fresh
air. And the air had to be mentally pulled through the throat of
upper atmosphere. Ivanov knew that the air contains
energy that gives us life: "In the air surrounding the person
is the food - it's broadcast, with the air moving and penetrating
through the human body. " He knew how to use this energy
and taught it to others.
Working with emotional and mental bodies
Ivanov knew that if people are filled with
negative thoughts and emotions, it is unlikely that it can
claim to good health. in his records and on interviews he
expounding the moral and ethical norms that should
guided by the people. He taught: "Help people than you can,
especially the poor, sick, hurt, needy.
Do it with joy. Respond to the need of his heart and soul.
You acquire it friend! Win a greed, sloth,
complacency, greed, fear, hypocrisy, and pride. Believe
people and love them. Do not talk about them unfairly, and do not take
close to the heart unkind opinions about them. Liberate your mind from
thinking about diseases, ailments, death. This is your victory. " As
we see in these lines are enclosed wonderful thoughts, and if all
people followed them, then our world would be slightly different. Sam P.
Ivanov appears in them as a great enthusiast and an incurable
romantic, a believer in the fact that people can change and live
in communion with nature.
Some recommendations to work with senior
bodies of a man in the AP Ivanov, apparently not. He himself was
irreligious and took care of that person to better lived here
on the ground.
Pros and cons of P. Ivanov
By conditional pluses of P. Ivanov is the fact that she
very simple and understandable contains all the recommendations. It is very far

and engaged in self-education. He lived in a purely materialistic

mixed with water psyllium hulls greatly expand to form a jelly. This can
be used as a mild laxative to carry a microbicide through the whole of the
intestinal tract, and it also binds toxic microbial compounds or  endotoxins
and removes them from the body. This can help greatly to reduce
allergies and autoimmune reactions.
However, the effect of psyllium depends on the amount of water in which
it is suspended. If too little water is used it becomes too concentrated  or
sticky and is then constipating. This can be useful in case of diarrhoea,
but for use as a laxative it needs to be taken with plenty of water.
You may continue taking psyllium for most of the time that you are on an
intensive antimicrobial program. If  you are not constipated and have
already  several daily bowel movements then you may even start the 55
 garlic cleanse with  psyllium instead of a flush with laxative salts.
Dissolve a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate in a large glass of water, add
some chopped garlic, possibly some ground linseed, and finally a
teaspoon of psyllium hulls. Stir and drink immediately, followed by some
more water.
When garlic cannot be used you m ay try a teaspoonful of 3% hydrogen
peroxide mixed with the psyllium drink. If that goes well, double the
amount of hydrogen peroxide the next day, and following that you may
try three teaspoons. Alternatively,  you may add extract of olive leaf or
pau d'ar co, wormwood, or several drops of gum turpentine or of oils of
tea tree, neem tree, oregano or eucalyptus, or any other suitable
fungicide.
If you develop unpleasant symptoms, such as nausea, after taking the
garlic or other microbicides, but the psyllium or a flush is not sufficient to
produce a strong bowel movement within two to three hours then use an
enema or another dose of a strong laxative.
Should you ever need to take a course of antibiotics, chemotherapy or
cortisone -type drugs then take a fungicide during this time as well, e.g.
garlic or high -dose borax, or extract of olive leaf or hydrogen peroxide,
and possibly use probiotics about half  an hour after taking the drugs.
Fresh ginger also has antifungal and antibacterial properties and  is a
good digestive aid. Cayenne is useful in addition. You may use both as
additions to the psyllium drink, or to flavour foods and drinks.
The most eff ective way of cleansing the intestines is the Basic Cleanse
explained in Chapter 6. During the last 5 days the intestines are filled
with soft psyllium that sticks to the intestinal walls, softens hardened
crusts and biofilms in which microbes are hiding. When flushing it all out
the biofilms will be flushed out as well, leaving the intestinal walls clean,
and any remaining Candida and parasites unprotected against follow -up
antimicrobial remedies.
Instead of the whole Basic Cleanse you may just do the las t five days of 56
 psyllium cleansing. This is an essential therapy for serious bowel
problems such as cancer, Crohn's disease and inflammatory bowel
diseases.
Do this Intestinal Sanitation for a minimum of three days but preferably
for one to two weeks before starting the systemic antimicrobial therapy.
Continue taking psyllium with bicarbonate until you feel well again.
Aloe Vera juice
Aloe Vera juice, fresh or even dried, assists in the treatment of infectious
diseases by helping to sanitise the gastr o-intestinal tract. It is excellent
for gastro -intestinal irritation, inflammation, ulcers and Crohn’s Disease.
If there is no improvement, try another brand. Take as much as you can
tolerate without getting diarrhoea. If available, use it fresh from the
garden. Avoid yellow leaves and yellow sap at the base of a leaf as this
is a strong irritant and laxative.
Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide is excellent for controlling intestinal dysbiosis as it is
very effective against Candida and other fungi while less damaging to
our good intestinal bacteria. A healthy immune system routinely
produces hydrogen peroxide to kill microbes. If you continue having
gastro -intestinal problems after using psyllium and garlic, or as an added
insurance have a course of hydro gen peroxide.
You may dilute 35% hydrogen peroxide or  buy 3% or 6% peroxide from
a supermarket or pharmacy. Any stabilizers are usually harmless in the
low concentrations present. Best dilute peroxide for daily use to about
3% by adding 1 part of 35% peroxide to 10 parts of water. One teaspoon
of 3% peroxide is equivalent to about 12 drops of 35% peroxide. Be
careful handling 35% hydrogen peroxide, flush any accidental spills on
clothes or skin immediately with water or immerse in water.
Start taking just a few drops of 3% peroxide in a small glass of water.
Gradually increase to 1 teaspoon or more four times daily before meals
and at bedtime. If you have a reaction temporarily decrease again.  57
 To disguise the strong aftertaste, lick some molass es beforehand to coat
your tongue, swallow quickly and possibly have some coffee or
cinnamon flavoured drink afterwards.
You may continue this for a month or two and then reduce the intake to
only once before breakfast. In addition, use hydrogen peroxide  to rinse
your mouth, and gargle morning and evening.  It helps with thrush and to
prevent colds and other infections, and also tooth decay. With vaginal
thrush douche twice daily with suitably diluted hydrogen peroxide, keep
it inside for some time, and f ollow up by applying some probiotic.
Probiotics
This leads us to the next step: replacing the decimated pathogenic
microbes with desirable lactobacilli. This is best done in a big dose 30 -
60 minutes after each flush; otherwise,  the unwanted microbes may just
grow back to full strength after the next meal.
Acidophilus culture is used to repopulate the freed -up spaces at the walls
of the small intestines, while bifidobacteria are the protective inhabitants
of the colon or large intestines. There are also other lactobacteria
naturally residing in our intes tinal tract. These bacterial cultures are
available from health food shops or the Internet and best refrigerated
before and after sale.
It is difficult to find a good culture. As a general rule look for a product
that
▪ has been grown on seeds and vegetabl es rather than on milk,
▪ has a large variety of different bacterial strains, and…
▪ has been produced and is used at temperatures from 3 6 to 40°C.
However, dry cultures are dormant and inactive as compared to bacteria
in fresh or live ferments. Therefore,  you may experiment with making
your own ferment. Initially you may use dry cultures as starter or buy
fresh ferments over the Internet. F or recipes  and supplies using kefir
grains  see: users.chariot.net.au/~dna/kefirpage.html  or for grain and 58
 vegetable ferments:  www.agmfoods.com. I do not recommend
commercial yogurt to sanitize the intestinal tract.
Caution:  Some individuals with Candida are highly sensitive to all
fermented foods.
Fermented liquids, such as Kefir or Kombucha, tend to be rather acidic
and this can cause overacidity problem s in sensitive individuals. You can
reduce this problem by partly neutralizing the acidity with sodium
bicarbonate, magnesium carbonate, magn esium oxide or dolomite
powder.
Prebiotics
Prebiotics or the food that we provide for our intestinal flora is usually
even more important than the relatively few probiotic bacteria that we can
supply as supplements. These nutrients determine which microbial
species will thrive and which ones will n ot do well. The easily digestible
carbohydrates from sugar and grain products favour Candida and other
yeasts but can also lead to overgrowth of various bacteria in the small
intestines.
The most suitable microbes for intestinal sanitation are on the skin s of
fresh raw organic vegetables and berries, and these also provide the
perfect nutrients for their microbes to keep growing in our intestinal tract.
This is how we evolved. You may clean the leaves in water but do not
add any microbicides. Best puree (w ith energised water) in a high -speed
blender and also use fresh veggie salads.
Commercially available soluble but indigestible fibre, called FOS or
fructosoligo -saccharides, helps to stimulate the growth of beneficial
intestinal bacteria. While preferable to simple carbohydrates for our
intestinal flora, FOS can also be used by some pathogenic bacteria in
the colon.
Legumes  are high in a type of soluble fibre, raffinose, that is only broken
down in the large intestines. It is an excellent food for bifidoba cteria.
Raffinose  is also found in members of the cabbage family, asparagus
and other vegetables.  59

 travel. If you start with the left hand, you will
eventually progress to the right hand, and ultimately attain the no
hand path. But you can't get to the highest attainment without first
ascending the lower ladder step by step, with both hands firmly172 Taoist Secrets Of Love
grasping the rungs. As you climb, the right hand and the left hand
alternate in stabilizing your balance. You don't let go until you
have reached the top of whatever the ladder is leaning against.
Then you can stand on firm ground and kick the ladder away and
stand with "no-hands"—empty hands free to do whatever you
choose next, be it to climb another ladder or stay where you are.
Those who are not really involved in a daily Taoist practice
such as Sexual Kung Fu may criticize the use of sexual energy to
evolve. But if they studied and came to know the complete system,
they would understand there is no left-hand and no right-hand path,
only yin and yang mixed harmoniously in an infinite multitude of
forms.
Everything leads to it's opposite: sex leads to no-sex; oneness
leads to twoness (twoness of yin and yang) twoness leads to three-
ness and everythingness leads to nothingness (Wu Chi). This is true
cultivation of the Tao—the No-Hand Path. With No Hands life
becomes effortless.
There is a stage in Tai Chi Chuan sometimes referred to as
"wonderful hands". A beginner learning Tai Chi may use 90%
yang energy to move his body. An intermediate student may use
60% yang and 40% yin. A master of Wonderful Hand Tai Chi uses
50% yin and 50% yang. A Taoist master creates this same balance
at every moment in his life. This is the No Hand Path of the Tao. It
is wonderful because it is so graceful and effortless, the way the
whole human being should live.
THE SEVEN SPIRITUAL STAGES OF
TAOIST SEXUAL ENERGY CULTIVATION
First Stage: PHYSICAL CONTROL OF SEED LOSS. This control
is exerted within the "human plane" of consciousness, as are the
first five stages of Taoist Cultivation. The finger is used to stop the
flow of semen during love making or masturbation. This slows the
loss of vital fluids and helps to redistribute it to the needy parts of
the body. Using the finger may block ejaculation of the seed but it
will not redirect the ching chi upwards. You will have a normal
orgasm and lose 60 to 70 percent of the seminal power (electromag-
netic power produced from the motion of the 200-500 million
sperm), but keep most of the seed in the body. The seed will
gradually decay and the hormones will be absorbed back into the
body.The Seven Spiritual Stages 173
But the body will conserve some energy by producing less
sperm. It cuts back production automatically when it senses that it
is already contained inside. After practicing this "external lock-
ing" method the penis will drop down and you may feel quite tired.
After a certain time it will improve body health, strength, and
result in a deep increase in sexual life. It will also build up power,
but this takes a longer time because most of the yang power is lost
during the ejaculation.
Second Stage: PHYSICAL AND MENTAL CONTROL OF
SEXUAL ORGASM. This stage uses a combination of external
finger pressure and the internal locking method of "Drawing the
Nectar Up to the Golden Flower", or the Big Draw.
Before ejaculation, you use your finger to press on the Hui
Yin and at the same time use the Big Draw to draw some energy
up, before it can leak out the penis. In this way you lose less than in
the first stage, but the penis will drop down and you will still have a
normal orgasm centered in the genitals.
The opening of the Microcosmic Orbit is the key to allowing
the flow of energy to move upward instead of being forced to move
out the penis. Once you can get the energy into the coccyx it will
begin flowing easily up the spine for most people. When you can
feel the pressure of the chi in your head you must begin circulating
it down to the navel.
Third Stage: MIND CONTROL OF SEXUAL DESIRE AND
ORGASM. After more practice with the Big Draw, you will even-
tually control ejaculation with your mind only. You will be able to
do the Big Draw without physical force and will gain the ability to
play with your orgasm. This will occasionally result in releasing
sperm, but gradually you will develop the power to stop physical
ejaculation and enjoy the experience of a different but more highly
pleasurable kind of orgasm, the "valley" orgasm.
If you can stop before going too far by ejaculating, you can
draw and exchange the power from the woman. In that way you
lose one but gain one. You lose mainly yang energy and receive the
thing you need, yin energy. It's almost a barter; you have too much
yang and woman has too much yin, so you exchange energies, each
one receiving the proportion of what he or she needs. This method
involves a higher consciousness, higher self-control and getting
away from erotic thinking and imagining the act of love. Think of
the energy you have given to your lover as a conscious sacrifice
made at the altar of higher consciousness.174 Taoist Secrets Of Love
This third stage is higher than the second stage, for your mind
has entered into a new relationship with the ching chi. Your mind
has begun to integrate your sex essence with your general chi
energy into a single unified being. There is a big difference in the
experience of people who have practiced using only the mind and
those who use the finger and Big Draw combination. It is far supe-
rior to simple coitus interruptus. Big Draw shifts the excess power
in the reproductive region upward to the higher centers of the body
which can store the power for greater uses. Your sexual essence
becomes food to nourish your higher spirit.
In this stage, if people use the Big Draw, they can increase the
power they have each time. When they use this method in making
love they will not feel tired. They can have as much sex as they
want although they frequently have it less often because the quality
is so deeply satisfying they feel stronger and are able to control
themselves and overcome other worldly desires that have a con-
trolling influence on their lives.
However, at this level you should be aware you are drawing
this extra energy from another imperfect human being. For this
reason, you must be able to overcome the failings of this person
within yourself. In this third stage, both partners must be very
understanding and be highly involved in this practice. If one part-
ner is not involved, it is very hard to work together exchanging the
power. If your partner has troubles, or is upset, you can absorb this
psychic distress into yourself. If the method will not work, some-
times it is because one partner is having personal trouble. That is
the very first thing to check out, and correct with meditation or
other therapy. Otherwise you will absorb these troubles into your
system, where they will act as psychic toxins.
The method might seem to be unfair if your partner is very sad
but you are cheerful and energetic. She will receive life-force hap-
piness and energy from you, but you will absorb her sadness and
her burdens into yourself. Only if you are highly committed can
you purify her and help her tremendously by guiding her onto a
higher path that will free her from her inner toils. For this reason
you must be very selective of your partner, for you will be literally
drinking of the life essence of the person. A vulgar, vain or jealous
person is what you will tend to become if your partner has these
qualities in abundance—or at least, you will have to use your
greater power of love and benediction to consume these lower
impulses.The Seven Spiritual Stages 175
Fourth Stage: EXCHANGE ENERGY WITHOUT HAVING
SEXUAL INTERCOURSE. For the male this practice is easier with
a youthful female partner who has not borne children and still has
great vitality, or with any woman who has cultivated her chi to
powerful levels through meditation. It is a method of self-healing
that can be used by young people, but is more likely to be em-
ployed by older people who have less interest in an active sex life
yet seek the rejuvenating powers of sexual energy. The most fa-
mous practitioner of this level is undoubtedly Mahatma Gandhi,
who insisted his 18 year-old niece sleep chastely beside him at
night. The spiritual fires burning brightly within Gandhi needed the
nourishing and cooling balance of a female's ching, yet cultural and
religious standards forbade sexual contact as a Hindu holy man.
During the Middle Ages the knights sworn to the code of
chivalry were under similar pressure to sublimate their sexual drive
into a kind of sublime spiritual romance. A chaste kiss from a
damsel or a nonsexual embrace with loving eye contact were ide-
alized in legends such as the Holy Grail myth (a clear symbol of the
quest for pure female energy within each male knight) and in the
songs of troubadors.
Today the practice is useful in situations where two friends
wish to deepen their spiritual contact or heal each other, but be-
cause of marriage ties or other

http://www.health-science-
spirit.comonventional medicine regards cancer as a multitude of diseases with
different causes and treatments.  But what if they all have the same
underlying cause and similar treatments, as suggested by Dr Tullio
Simoncini?1Dr Simoncini believes that cancer is mainly due to
Candida albicans, the most common and aggressive fungus in the human body,
and that an effective cure is to bathe a tumour in a solution of sodium
bicarbonate.  Here I want to show that there are even more reasons to suspect
a causal relationship between Candida and cancer than suggested by Dr
Simoncini.
A basic difference between normal body cells and fungal cells is with their
energy metabolism.  Normal body cells produce energy by oxidising nutrients
in the citric acid cycle to carbon dioxide and water.  Fungi cannot do this.
They produce their energy in an anaerobic way, or without oxygen.  Fungi use
mainly sugars and other simple carbohydrates and obtain their energy by
converting these into lactic acid.  This is very wasteful and produces only
about five per cent of the energy that would be produced in the citric acid
cycle.  This process generates large amounts of lactic acid, which makes the
body overacid and causes mineral deficiencies, inflammations and pain.
Cancer cells have exactly the same kind of anaerobic energy metabolism as
fungi.  However, cells in tumours have different degrees of oxidative energy
blockage.  Therefore, the malignancy of a tumour is equivalent to the degree
of oxidative energy blockage.  In other words, the more anaerobic the energyproduction of a tumour is the more malignant it is.  But there is a difference
in the energy production between cancer cells and fungi.
As I pointed out in my article "Cancer Therapy – A New Direction"
2, the
oxidative energy metabolism of cancer cells can be restored and these cells
can be reconverted into normal body cells by eliminating the cancer cells'
microbes or their toxins that block the oxidative metabolism.  This cannot bedone with fungi, although it is possible to produce fungi with an oxidative
energy metabolism—such as Zell Oxygen
®, a live aerobic yeast made from
Saccharomyces cerevisiae—in a way that is antagonistic to Candida albicans.
I suspect that this reconversion of cancer cells is only possible as long as
these cells live like a colony of yeast cells inside a tumour.  Therefore, I regard
a tumour as the equivalent of a colony of yeast cells.  When a yeast colony is
stressed by overgrowth or other factors that restrict nutrient supply, it tries to
expand and seek better conditions.  This causes many of the yeast cells to
transform into invasive hyphal fungus cells (see my article in NEXUS 23/01).
These may then also form new colonies and fungal mycelia in distant organs.
Cancer cells behave in exactly the same way.  When a tumour is stressed by
facing overcrowding or a shortage of hormones or nutrients, or when attacked
with surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy or other inflammation-causing
methods, then the relatively harmless yeast-like tumour cells transformIISSIINVASIVE NVASIVECCANCER ANCERAA
HHYPHAL YPHALFFUNGUS UNGUS??
Cancer cells and
yeast cells have a
similar anaerobic
energy metabolism.
As a result of stress,
they change into
aggressive and
invasive hyphal forms
that behave in the
same way and look
remarkably alike.
Medical researchers
and practitioners
would be well advised
to consider this
close connection.C32 • NEXUS www.nexusmagazine.com  FEBRUARY – MARCH 2016themselves into invasive migrating cancer cells that
eventually form more dangerous metastatic tumours in
distant organs.
With this, cancer cells do not only have the same
anaerobic energy metabolism as fungi but they also
behave in the same way when under pressure, and
invasive metastatic cancer cells look exactly like hyphal
fungus cells.  Compare the following sets of images
showing aggressive cancer cells and similar-looking
hyphal fungus cells.
In figure 1, you see such an invasive cancer cell which
has grown hyphae or closely related structures called
pseudohyphae similar to the fungal hyphae shown in
figure 2.
Breast cancer cells vary from yeast-like cells inside
tumours to cells with a few long filaments and cells with
dense hyphae-like protrusions, as in figure 3.  This is verysimilar to the hyphal Candida cells
shown in figure 4.  (By the way, the
displayed colours are not genuine
but are due to staining.)
The lung cancer cell in figure 5 has
developed hyphae-like burrowinglegs with which it can anchor itself in
the tissue and also suck out
nutrients.  The hyphae release
enzymes that break down the tissue
into nutrients that the cancer cells orfungi can easily absorb.  Similar
formations can often be observed in
skin cancers and sometimes breast
tumours.  When these are killed withblack salve, they fall out after a week
or two, and one can see their
complete structure including hyphae.
Most amazing for me is the
metastatic cancer cell in figure 6.  Its
shape does not seem to be any
different from the invasive hyphal
fungus in the lungs shown in figure 7.
It is difficult for me to understand how mainstream
researchers can claim that cancer cells are not at all like
fungi but are something completely different.  I
remember a famous saying:  "If it looks like a dead rat
and smells like a dead rat, then it probably is a dead rat."
Of course, initially there is still a difference between
cancer cells and fungi because cancer cells are body cells
degenerating into fungal cells while conventional fungi
have traditional genetic characteristics.
Other Cancer–CandidaConnections
In light of the strong similarity between metastatic
cancer cells and invasive fungal cells, it is not surprising
that in recent years there have been dozens and perhapseven hundreds of research publications comparing lung
cancer with fungal infections of the lungs.  One of these
papers, "Fungal Infection Mimicking Pulmonary
Malignancy" concludes:  "Fungal infection can present
with clinical and radiological features that are
indistinguishable from thoracic malignancy, such as lung
nodules or masses."
3In almost all cases, tumours in the
lungs are assumed to be due to cancer and no tests are
made to check for fungi as a primary or contributing
cause.
The German professor Meinolf Karthaus watched three
children with leukaemia unexpectedly go into remissionafter receiving a triple antifungal drug cocktail for their
"secondary" fungal infections.  He led a research team
that in 2006 published the results of six further cases
where leukaemia disappeared after antifungal therapy.
There were actually many more cases but, in these,antileukaemia therapy was continued in addition toantifungal therapy.  In the reported six cases,antileukaemia therapy was stopped when starting

, arousal, and nys -
tagmus.126 No changes were observed on RMV or RR when physiological saline
was injected.
The results of respiratory stimulation by DMSO led to a second experiment to
examine the effects of DMSO on experimental hypoxemia in rats. Rats were treated with intraperitoneal (IP) injections of DMSO 2 g/kg, doxapram 25 mg/kg, and etha -
mivan 10 mg/kg and were then exposed precisely for 210 s to pure nitrogen in a closed chamber. Each treated rat was paired with a saline control while in the nitro -
gen chamber. The results of this study are shown in Table 2.1. Survivors of nitrogen exposure experiencing acute hypoxia treated with DMSO were 18 of 20, with doxa -
pram 18 of 20, and with ethamivan 6 of 20. Saline-treated rats’ average for survival was 3 of 20 rats.
126
The effect of DMSO on hypoxemic rats revealed that this treatment was
superior in keeping animals alive when compared to the well-known respira -
tory stimulant ethamivan and had similar effects as doxapram. When nitrogen exposure was increased to 215 s, DMSO-treated rats showed more resistance and better survival rate to hypoxic death than did doxapram-treated rats. The results of these studies on rhesus monkeys and rats undergoing either narcotic-induced respiratory depression or nitrogen-induced hypoxia indicate that DMSO admin -
istration may reverse respiratory distress in humans. This aspect is discussed further in the text.
ACUTE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME
These experiments indicated that DMSO has the potential to quickly stimulate respi -
ratory centers in rats and nonhuman primates. These data were the basis for a study in humans presenting with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ARDS is char -
acterized by interstitial edema, low paO
2, rising paCO2, and complete opacification TABLE 2.1

of both lung fields on chest x-ray. A 10% DMSO solution was given intravenously to
three patients nearing death presenting with ARDS who were refractory to classical therapy. All three patients showed marked improvement 1  h after the application of DMSO with respect to oxygen saturation, increased paO
2, and lowered paCO2.
One patient showed a dramatic improvement of the chest x-ray, which resolved over a period of 1 week. It was concluded by the author of the study that DMSO use in ARDS merits further investigation.
130
A model of ARDS using formylated tripeptide formyl-norleucyl-leucyl-
phenylalanine (FNLP) was instilled intratracheally into hamsters to induce acute edematous lung injury. Intratracheal FNLP is time dependent and dose dependent and increases neutrophils to create neutrophil alveolitis and leak of intravenously injected albumin into the extravascular lung space (lung leak).
131
It was observed that treatment with 0.20% DMSO significantly decreased neutro -
phil alveolitis and lung leak in hamsters following FNLP intratracheally, possibly by inhibiting neutrophil chemotaxis.
131
DMSO is reported to increase hypoxic tolerance of brain slices under hypoxic  or
ischemic  conditions. After the induction of hypoxia or ischemia in the CA1 region
of hippocampal slices of adult guinea pigs, evoked potentials recording showed that during superfusion with artificial CSF containing DMSO 14.1 mmol/L the latency of anoxic terminal negativity was markedly improved when compared to the control brain slices, demonstrating a neuroprotective effect of DMSO on ischemia/hypoxia.
132
EXPERIMENTAL BLUNT CHEST TRAUMA
Blunt chest trauma is an injury to the chest caused by an impact from a blunt object. Blunt chest trauma puts multiple adjoining structures at risk of injury. This type of injury can involve cardiac contusion, cardiovascular injury, and pulmonary lacera -
tions. Traffic accidents are the most frequent cause of blunt chest trauma and cardiac contusions due to acceleration–deceleration and usually involving a direct blow to the chest. Many other causes can result in blunt chest trauma, including a violent fall, explosion, aggression, and various types of high-risk sports.
The majority of blunt chest injuries can be classified into three types: minor chest
wall injuries, major but stable chest wall injuries, and flail chest injuries. The first two chest injuries can involve fracture of the bony chest wall or no fracture. Flail chest is a life-threatening medical condition where the rib cage breaks under extreme stress, damaging ribs in multiple places where they become detached from the rest of the chest wall moving independently of the rib cage.
To study traumatic pulmonary contusion, DMSO was compared to the powerful anti-
inflammatory agent dexamethasone using a designed thoracic trauma model in rats.
132a
DMSO (1.2 g/kg) and dexamethasone (10 mg/kg) were given intraperitoneally 15 min prior to injury. The effects of blunt trauma to lung tissue was examined biochemically and histopathologically. A number of pathologic signs were observed in all animal
groups following blunt trauma, including alveolar edema, congestion, and pulmonary
parenchymal hemorrhage.
132a
The levels of oxidative stress predictors malondialdehyde and nitric oxide were
lower with both dexamethasone- or DMSO-treated animals when compared with 35 DMSO in Basic Pharmacology
untreated blunt chest trauma animals. This finding indicated the well-known antioxi -
dant properties of DMSO and dexamethasone in inflammatory conditions. However,
further analysis revealed that only DMSO-treated animals prevented further injury by decreasing neutrophil infiltration and endothelial cell injury of blood vessels near the injury site following the lung contusion.
132a
As we have reviewed in Chapter 8, the production of excessive free radicals and
the release of local inflammatory mediators including cytokines such as interleu -
kin 6, tumor necrosis factor- α, and nitric oxide are generally the culprits responsible
for the deadly pathologic cascades seen following traumatic brain injury. DMSO is a powerful free radical scavenger and effective anti-inflammatory agent that is able to quell the cytokine storm  seen after the blunt chest trauma. In addition,
these cytokines can lead to complications affecting immunosuppression, leading to multi organ damage.

AUTOPHAGY
Autophagy is a dynamic process of subcellular component degradation, which has sparked a great deal of interest in the last decade since it is now recognized to be involved in various developmental processes affecting certain disorders, including neurodegeneration and cancer.
133
Autophagy is a basic catabolic mechanism in eukaryotes that involves cell deg -
radation of unnecessary or dysfunctional cellular components in the cytoplasm and sequesters these into double-membrane vesicles where they are delivered to the lyso -
some/vacuole for breakdown and eventual recycling.
134 The breakdown of cellular
components can ensure cellular survival during nutrient starvation by maintaining cellular energy levels.
134 Normally, when autophagy is regulated, synthesis, degrada -
tion, and recycling of these cellular components are maintained. Targeted cytoplas -
mic components are isolated from the rest of the cell within the autophagosomes, which are then fused with lysosomes and degraded or recycled. The relevance of autophagy in disease is seen as an adaptive response to survival, but in certain cir -
cumstances, autophagy has also been described as a promoter of cell death and morbidity.
134
Three different forms of autophagy have been described. These are macroau -
tophagy, microautophagy, and chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA).135
Autophagy can function as a cytoprotective mechanism, but it also has the
capacity to cause cell death. Autophagy is a major mechanism for degrading long-lived cytosolic proteins and the only known pathway for degrading organelles.
136
Autophagy is activated by many forms of stress, including nutrient and energy starvation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and infections. Autophagy recycles amino acids and fatty acids to produce energy while removing damaged cell components, thereby playing an essential role in cell survival and intracellular surveillance mechanism, which is indispens -
able for maintaining cell health. When this process is abnormal, autophagy leads to cell death.
137
CMA is a selective type of autophagy by which specific cytosolic proteins are
sent to lysosomes for degradation.36 Dimethyl Sulfox

based	on	concepts	from	A	COURSE	IN	MIRACLES.
“
Love	is	the	way	I	walk	in	gratitude”
	is	a	quote	from
A	Course	in	Miracles.
	It
is	a	walking	meditation	that	we	love	to	do	with	each	other.	Every	step	that	we
take	we	remind	ourselves	that	Love	is	the	way	we	walk	in	gratitude.	And
what	beautiful	peace	and	serenity	it	gives	to	us.
Another	one	of	our	favorite	quotes	is	from	Meister	Eckhart,	who	states	that
the	most	important	prayer	in	the	world	is	just	two	words:	“Thank	you.”	It	is
our	deep	belief	that	everything	that	happens	to	us	is	a	lesson	that	God	would
have	us	learn.	Our	lives	become	more	peaceful	when	we	stop	interpreting
everything	that	happens	to	us,	and	instead,	experience	everything	that
happens	to	us—no	matter	what	its	appearance—as	a	blessing	in	disguise.
When	we	walk	our	pathway	in	life	with	a	“Thank	you”	in	our	hearts,	a
“Thank	you”	in	our	minds,	and	a	“Thank	you”	on	our	lips,	whatever	fear	we
may	have	been	holding	on	to	disappears,	and	the	purity	of	love	reappears.	As
we	make	the	choice	to	lift	ourselves	up	from	the	perceptual	world	and	live	in
the	world	of	God’s	love,	“Thank	you”	becomes	a	way	of	life.	The	teacher	that
resides	in	our	hearts	would	say	that	everything	that	happens	to	us	in	the
perceptual	world	is	but	a	new	opportunity	to	choose	the	belief	system	of	love,
of	God,	a	world	where	there	is	no	form,	just	love.
By	surrendering	to	love,	by	surrendering	to	God,	we	can	go	through	each	dayacknowledging	one	another	with	gratitude.	Imagine	what	the	world	would	be
if	the	only	words	we	spoke,	to	God	and	to	one	another,	were	“Thank	you.”
Each	time	we	express	our	gratitude	by	extending	our	love	to	all,	we	believe
that	there	is	a	little	more	light	in	the	world	and	a	little	less	darkness.
How	quickly	our	world	changes	as	we	learn	to	return	all	the	love	that	is
continuously	given	to	us	by	our	Source.	What	greater	gratitude	can	we	give	to
our	Creator	than	choosing	to	love	one	another	and	ourselves	by	seeing	the
face	of	God	in	everyone	and	knowing	that	it	is	a	reflection?

special price on a dozen or more copies?
A.	Yes, there is a special rate on the pur chase of 12 or
more copies of any one Bragg title. In fact, many
church groups, ser vice clubs and schools buy Bragg
Books in quantity lots for resale at regular prices for
their fund-raising projects. call 800-446-1990 weekdays
Q.	Will distilled water help my complexion?
A.	Yes – distilled water will help you have a smooth, fir m,
radiant complexion in 2 ways – by drinking it for
internal cleanliness and by cleansing your skin with it
externally. Hard water seals the por es and tends to clog
them. For thorough, healthful cleansing, use distilled
water on your skin, also it’ s an excellent hair rinse (add
tsp vinegar to cup of water), this leaves hair soft.
Q.	I have an obesity problem. W ill drinking distilled
water help me to lose weght?
A. 	 Yes – drinking daily 8 glasses of distilled water is
filling and adding 1 to 2 tsps of Bragg Organic
Vinegar to 3 of them (page 112) pr omotes detox

heavy foods. Also eliminate salt from your diet. A
primar y  symptom of obesity is r etention of fluid. A
major cause of waterlogged tissues is due to the fact
that table salt, composed of sodium chloride, is an
inorganic mineral which is indigestible by the
human body and is held in solution with water. Hard
water makes this condition worse by adding more
indigestible inorganic minerals, further impairing
the body’ s system of elimination. Ample distilled
water helps the body function better in every way,
including the better elimination of accumulated of

Q.	Is distilled water recommended for babies?
A.	Yes, it’ s not only recommended, it’ s prescribed for
babies! Distilled water should be used internally for
formulas, food, etc., also externally for cleaning babies.
158 Diaper rash and skin problems can result from hard
water deposits and chemicals even on sheets, clothes,
and diapers, etc. Do the final rinse in distilled water.
Q.	Can animals and wildlife tell the difference
between hard and distilled water?
A.	Yes. Place a variety of waters befor e a goat, for
example, and he will select distilled water. Use it in
your bird bath and the bir ds will return yearly. Many
a race has been lost because trainers didn’ t provide
their thor oughbreds with distilled purified water.
Q.	Does hard water affect ever yone the same way?
A.	No. All human systems are basically similar, but no
two are exactly alike! Mineral deposits from hard
water tend to migrate to the body’ s weakest points:
the intestinal walls, causing constipation; the
kidneys, creating stones; in the arteries, leading to
arteriosclerosis; in the joints, inviting arthritis; etc.
There is no we alth greater than the health of the b ody. – Bible
Our prayers should be for a sound mind in a healthy body. – Juvenal Of course, when the functions of any one part of
the body are impaired, the entire system is affected
and gradually weakened. Thus, multiple symptoms
appear as evidence of more widespread systematic
damage. Y our best insurance against all these
symptoms of “ageing” is to drink distilled water.
Q.	Do athletes drink distilled water?
A.	Many Famous ones do. Connie Mack, 30 years the
Yankee manager, would not allow his players to
drink hard water – and he had champion healthy
teams. Connie Mack also “practiced what he
preached” and maintained his own perfect health
past 90. W e have lots of champion teams in all sports
and olympic and triathlete champions as well as the
Dallas Cowboys who follow the Bragg Healthy
Lifestyle and drink pure distilled water!
Q.	We have recently installed a home water softener.
Dr. Bragg, is this good, pure drinking water?
A.	No – don’ t drink it! W ater softeners don’ t eliminate
inorganic minerals, but merely hold them in
suspension in an ionized state. It makes more
soapsuds – but leaves inorganic mineral deposits in
your home and human plumbing to cause problems!

As the tide of chemicals born in the Industrial Age has arisen to engulf our
environment, a drastic change has come about in the nature of the most
serious public health problem. For the first time in the history of the world, every
human being is now subject to many dangerous chemicals, from the moment
of conception until death. – Rachel Carson, Silent Spring, 1962 – amazon.com

worse still—by fluoride. Both remove iodine from the thyroid gland,
thus reducing its ability to function properly. The thyroid gland regulates the metabolic rate of the
organism, acting as its thermostat, being capable of raising temperature and producing fever; it
also affects the immune system as well as the proper functioning of all hormone systems. When
thyroid and iodine in the form of 1/2 strength Lugol’s solution are added to the patient’s intake,
the immune system becomes reactivated and healing can begin. The patient’s metabolic rate has
to be established for a correct dosage, but most cancer patients start with 5 grains of thyroid and
18 drops of Lugol’s solution (3 drops in each of 1 orange and 5 carrot/apple juices) a day, for
the first 3-4 weeks only. Then the amounts are reduced to 2 or 2 1⁄2 grains of thyroid and 12
drops of Lugol’s, and subsequently adjusted according to the Gerson doctor’s instruction.
Patients suffering from non-malignant diseases use the less intensive therapy (see Chapter 19 ),
with much less thyroid and Lugol’s solution.
Niacin : (common name for nicotinic acid, or Vitamin B-3) Niacin assists in the digestion
of protein and helps to open capillary circulation, thus bringing freshly oxygenated blood (from
the constant intake of fresh juices) to all body tissues. By improving circulation it also works to
reduce ascites (abdominal edema) and pain. The dosage is a 50 mg tablet 6 times daily, taken
during meals. This medication often causes the well-known “niacin flush,” a temporary reddening
of the face and upper chest area, with some itching. This is totally harmless and passes quickly.
(Do NOT switch to non-flushing niacin: it is ineffective.) Niacin should be discontinued during
women’s periods or in case of bleeding of any kind.
Liver Capsules : The severely toxic and damaged liver of the cancer patient needs maximum
assistance to improve its vital functions. The therapy provides this help in the form of liver
capsules containing dried, defatted powdered liver from healthy animals. Two capsules of liver
powder are given three times a day, with carrot-only juice. According to Dr. Virginia Livingston,
the combination of dry liver powder with carrot juice produces abcissic acid,  a precursor of
Vitamin A, which is essential in attacking tumor tissue.
Crude Liver Injections : An additional substance given to aid in the restoration of the liver.
It normally contains a small amount of Vitamin B 12. However, since virtually all cancer patients

www.thegersonway.comare anemic, additional Vitamin B 12 is needed to help restore the hemoglobin content of the blood,
promoting the formation and maturation of red blood cells. It works against different types of
anemia and even against degenerative changes in the spinal cord. As seen in animal experiments,
this vitamin is able to restore a wide range of tissues damaged by age, chronic illness, surgery,
degenerative diseases, or various kinds of poisoning. Intra-muscular Liver Extract (3 cc) with
added 50 mcg of B 12—a tiny amount, a 20th of one cc) is given daily for four or more months.
Later the frequency is reduced to every other day, and still later—sometimes after as much as a
year—to twice a week.
Pancreatin : This is an extract of various pancreatic digestive enzymes, normally needed
to digest fats, proteins and sugar.  Gerson patients don’t consume those substances; however,
these enzymes are vitally important in the digestion and elimination of tumor tissue. The dosage
is 3 tablets of.325mg each four times a day—one after each meal, plus an additional dose in
mid-afternoon. For exceptionally large tumors 2-3 tablets a day of a more concentrated 1200mg
pancreatin may be added to the patient’s medication. Some patients cannot tolerate pancreatin and
have to do without it. Dr. Gerson also omitted pancreatin for sarcoma cases.
Acidol Pepsin : These tablets supply digestive stomach juices, badly needed by patients
suffering from chronic diseases, who tend to have insufficient stomach acid and digestive pepsin.
As a result they have poor appetite and poor digestion. Since the Gerson treatment is based on the
patient’s optimum intake of food and juices, the stomach needs help for the intake and digestion
of food. Acidol Pepsin aids protein digestion and the absorption of iron, while helping to eliminate
gas and bloating. The dosage is six tablets a day, two to be taken before  each meal. No Acidol is
given in cases of acid reflux, stomach ulcers or other inflammatory or irritated conditions of the
stomach.
Ox Bile Powder : This helps to emulsify the castor oil, which is used in the castor oil/coffee
enemas. The powder is mixed into the castor oil and stirred, before the slightly soapy coffee is
added.
Flax Seed Oil : Also known as food grade linseed oil, this contains both essential fatty
acids (EFA’s): linoleic acid and linolenic acid, and is particularly rich in the Omega 3 series, as
discovered by Dr. Johanna Budwig. The therapeutic effects of flax seed oil are many:
• It attracts oxygen at the cell membrane and transports oxygen into the cell;
•  It is able to detoxify fat-soluble toxins, and helps to dissolve and remove plaque;
• It is a carrier of Vitamin A, which is important for the immune system; and
•  It removes excess cholesterol, an important function, since patients’ cholesterol levels
sometimes rise during the initial stages of the Therapy.
Dose: two tablespoons daily for the first month, then one tablespoon daily for the rest of the
treatment.

some of the nutrients that were available in the discontinued raw liver juice. It must be administered
cautiously at first, since some patients are hypersensitive to this substance. To start with, the dose
is 50mg daily for 5-7 days, then it is increased to 100mg per day, to reach 500-600mg daily.

Pain Control Without Drugs
A large percentage of patients arrive at the Gerson Therapy hospital in pain, on heavy pain
 control medication including morphine, codeine, or the two combined, e.g. in the drug
Oxi-Contin. These drugs are highly toxic, and since detoxifying the body is the basic aim of the
Gerson Therapy, every effort has to be made to control the patients’ pain without the use of toxic
drugs.
 The first tool to achieve this is the coffee enema (see Chapter 13.) Removing the accumulated
toxins from the liver enables that vital organ to absorb and release more poisons stored in the body;
this immediately brings relief to the patient. It does not, however, get rid of the pain altogether:
mild pain relief drugs, such as aspirin, Ibuprofen or Tylenol might be needed. But these may not
work if the patient had been used to morphine. In such cases the Gerson doctor will use one or
more of the following:
Clay packs
Castor oil packs
The “Triad”: 1 aspirin, 1 Vitamin C (500 mg), 1 niacin (50 mg)
Hyperthermia (artificial fever)
Laetrile
Oxygen treatments
Rebounding
This is how to apply them :
Clay (mud) packs
Clay packs help to relieve ‘hot’ inflammations around arthritic joints and tumors, and in
other areas of fluid retention. The best clay is Montmorillonite (not of marine origin), which
also absorbs toxins through the skin. Taken internally in peppermint tea (1/4 to 1⁄2 teaspoonful
to a cup), clay even helps to clear diarrheas and general food poisoning. Clay packs have long
been used in many parts of the world. Applied around the head, they are even able to alleviate
headaches and seizures.
The clay pack is prepared by mixing the dry clay powderwith enough hot distilled  water to
make a spreadable paste, neither too runny nor too dry. A layer about 2-3 mm thick is spread on
a piece of clean white  cloth, placed on the affected area and covered with a piece of plastic and a
wool cloth. Secured in position, it can be left in place for 2-3 hours and removed and discarded

wonder, since these treatment options are the
fruit of artificial conclusions, while fasting is
a natural process t hat has nothing in com-
mon with them.
After this introduction, let’s pass on to the
main question — why are fasts conducted at spe-
cific times of the year? If we combine the dates
when fasts are conducted and astrological signs,
then we’ll see that three out  of the four fasts fall
on ‘Fire Signs’. The Nativity Fast (40 days) falls
on Sagittarius. Great Lent (48 days) falls on Ar-
ies. The Uspensky Fast (14 days) fall on Leo. The
length of the Apostles’ Fast is not constant and
varies between 8 and 42 days. This  variation is
caused by adjustment to natural rhythms. In
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fryears of the active sun, when there’s a lot of en-
ergy, its duration increases. In cold years, on the
contrary, the length of this fast shortens. There’s
no ad -libbing — everything happens according
to nature’s laws. In the above -mentioned peri-
ods, an increased amount of energy reaches the
Earth from space. This energy, which works like
radioactive energy, can disrupt the organism’s
function. Remember A. L. Chizhevsky’s22 work
The Earthly Echo of the Solar Storms,  and a lot
will be clarified immediately.

22 Alexander Leonidovich Chizhevsky  (1897 – 1964) was a  So-
viet-era interdisciplinary  scientist, a  biophysicist  who founded " he-
liobiology " (study of the sun's effect on biology) and "aero -ioniza-
tion" (study of effect of ionization of air on biological en tities). He
also was noted for his work in  "cosmo- biology", biological
rhythms  and hematology.

and an increased amount of solar energy will go
towards creation, intensifying biosynthesis. If
you still continue eating, then the energy won’t
assimil ate and will cause damage to your cells,
and free radicals will inhibit the cell’s function,
undermining the living potential of the whole
organism. But at the same time, bacteria and vi-
ruses convert to active state and successfully at-
tack the weakened org anism due to the abun-
dance of energy. It is exactly at this time that flu

are of such a pronounced nature, that in the

ulation died out because of it! You can fast

nation of increased natural energy and fasting
produces the best effect, activating the ‘fire prin-
ciple’, which is  suppressed during fasting. An-
cient sages took absolutely everything into ac-
count and gave the best recommendations, we
only have to follow them.

Protection against adverse environmental
factors
Along with our own toxins, which are pro-
duced inside the organism, the toxic substances
from the chemicals that have infested our daily
lives, from our poisoned atmosphere, from our
water and our food, are removed from the body
during fasting. However, this was to be expected.
In our environmental conditions, it’s impossible
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frto not consider these facts. But fasting also pro-
duces an excellent preventive effect. For a long
time after the end of a dry fast, the highest pro-
tective potential is maintained, durin g periodic
fasting a person becomes almost invulnerable to
nitrates, phenols, sulphur dioxide and nuclear
power stations.

Prevention of oncological diseases
When I was studying calorie restriction therapy
with Professor Y. S. Nikolayev, he told me about
a curious experiment. Students of Stavropol
Medical Institute divided 120 white rats into 4
groups.
The first group was the control group, and the
remaining three were subjected to a 3 -day-long
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frfast. The first of these three were inoculated with
sarcoma before the fast, the second — during the
fast, and the third — after it. All the control
group members who hadn’t fasted, died. Half of
the 30 animals that had been inoculated with
sarcoma before the experiment a half died, out
of the 30 ones that had been injected during the
fasting a third did. All those who have been in-
jected after the fasting survived. As I’ve already
written, during dry fasting the strongest, most
viable cells survive, that’s why even short -term
dry fasts are a serious preventive t reatment
against malignant tumors. Another marvelous
impact of fasting was recorded by American sci-
entists. They studied the impact of fasting on the
development of severe forms of cancer. The ani-
mals were divided into two groups — the
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frexperimental group and the control group. The
rats in the control group were subjected to radi-
ation. The dose was chosen so that it wouldn’t
cause a quick death, but 2 -3 weeks after the irra-
diation every member of the group had blood
cancer. The experimental group was luckier.
Prior to irradiation, the animals underwent a full
fast. You may think that the organism weakened
by fasting should react even more acutely to this
negative influence, and the sickness should be
more severe. But the results were exactly the op-
posite! Com pared to the control group, the ex-
perimental group had 70 % fewer sick rats.

by W alter Last
Lack of energy and digestive disturbances, arthritic joint pains, skin disease, menstrual problems, emotional instability and
depression. All symptoms of what I call the 'antibiotic syndrome' which have greatly increased in frequency in recent years.
On further examination, more symptoms may be discovered. Most of the gastro-intestinal tract is tender when pressed, especially the
small intestine, liver and gall bladder. There may even have been a gall bladder operation that failed to improve the condition,
sometimes even worsening the symptoms.
There could be a history of thrush or oral, anal or vaginal itching. When these are present the diagnosis of Candida is obvious but it
may also be present in the absence of these manifestations and that can be somewhat confusing. The yeast or fungus Candida
albicans, of course, thrives during antibiotic treatment. I regard it as reckless negligence to prescribe antibiotics without simultaneous
fungicides and replacement therapy  with lactobacilli afterwards. I believe that this practice has greatly added to our vast pool of a
chronically sick population.
However, the 'antibiotic syndrome' is not just due to Candida. I regard it more generally as a 'dysbiosis' where the wrong kind of
microbes inhabit the intestinal tract, not just Candida and other fungi, but many types of pathogenic bacteria including coli bacteria
which are normal in the colon but become disease-forming when they ascend into the small intestine.
If the problem has existed for years, there is usually a lack of gastric acid which then allows the stomach to be colonised by microbes,
causing inﬂammation with pain and later, ulcers. The toxins released by the microbial overpopulation cause in addition chronic
inﬂammation of the liver, gall bladder, pancreas and intestines. I regard it as rather likely that a chronic inﬂammation of the pancreas
is a major contributing factor in the development of insulin-dependent diabetes.
Bacterial Attack
Speciﬁc types of pathogenic bacteria appear to cause or contribute to speciﬁc autoimmune diseases. One variety of coli bacteria, for
instance, produces a molecule that is very similar to insulin. When the immune system becomes activated against this molecule it
may then also attack related features at the beta cells of the pancreas
Another type of bacteria, Yersinia enterocolitica, induces an immune response that attacks the thyroid gland and leads to Grave's
disease with a serious overproduction of thyroid hormones.
Ulcerative colitis is linked to overgrowth with pathogenic microbes, the same as Crohn's disease, osteoporosis and ankylosing
spondylitis. In ankylosing spondylitis the vertebra of the spine fuse together causing stiffness and pain. Other joints may in time
become af fected.
Klebsiella, another type of pathogenic bacteria, produces a molecule that is similar to a tissue type found in people with this disease.
When Klebsiella numbers in the gut decrease, related antibodies in the blood decrease and the condition improves.
Rheumatoid arthritis is linked to other bacteria, called Proteus. Proteus is also a common cause of urinary tract infections. Women
suffer urinary tract infections as well as rheumatoid arthritis twice as often as men, while men usually have higher levels of Klebsiella
and three times more ankylosing spondylitis than women.
In addition microbial overgrowth damages the intestinal wall so that only partly digested food particles can pass into the bloodstream,
causing allergies. In this way all autoimmune diseases can be linked to food allergies.
While rheumatoid arthritis is a frequent feature of the antibiotic syndr ome, and I regard it as relatively easy to cure, not many
sufferers of this disease seem to be interested in this natural approach. The other day a young man with severe rheumatoid arthritis
knocked at my door to collect money for a medically sponsored walkathon. When I told him that I do not give money for drug
treatment as it can be overcome with natural therapies, he shouted: 'Y ou are mad!' and left visibly upset.
Other autoimmune diseases that have so far been linked to dysbiosis are psoriasis, lupus erythematosus and pancreatitis. When
remedies are given that bind bacterial endotoxins, these conditions usually improve. A further consequence of dysbiosis is
susceptibility to food poisoning as with salmonella bacteria, while a healthy intestinal ﬂora prevents these from multiplying and
causing trouble.
Staphylococcus aureus or golden staph cause serious infections in hospital patients. It has been found that not only golden staph but
also other infections are greatly potentized when they occur with a Candida overgrowth. As Candida overgrowth is a natural outcome

https://health-science-spirit.com/Diseases/Candida-and-the-Antibiotic-Syndrome.html 1/4of the standard hospital treatment, it is easy to see why golden staph is so deadly in hospitals.
A similar picture emerges with AIDS. People do not die from the AIDS virus but from Candida-potentized bacterial infections. I also
see the antibiotic-induced dysbiosis in babies and infants as the main cause of their frequent infections, glue ear and greatly
contributing to cot death.
While it used to be uncommon for children to have more than one or two infections a year, now more than six is the norm.
In the 1940's Candida was found in only three per cent of autopsies, now the ﬁgure is nearer thirty per cent. There are, of course,
other factors that can cause dysbios is - the contraceptive pill, steroids and other drugs, radiation treatment and chemotherapy - but
the main culprits are, without doubt, antibiotics.
Closely related to Candida are the mycoplasms or pleomorphic organisms. These have been shown to be a main factor in the
causation of cancer. Therefore, antifungal therapy has also major beneﬁts in cancer treatment.
Dr Orian T russ
In 1953 Dr Orian Truss discovered the devastating effects of antibiotics in an Alabama (USA) hospital. During a hospital round Truss
was intrigued by a gaunt, apparently  elderly man who was obviously dying. However, he was only in his forties and in hospital for four
months. No specialist had been able to make a diagnosis. Out of curiosity Truss asked the patient when be was last completely well.
The man answered that he was well until six months before when he had cut his ﬁnger He had received antibiotics for this. Shortly
afterwards he developed diarrhoea and his health deteriorated. Truss had seen before how antibiotics cause diarrhoea. It was known
that Candida was opportunistic and thrived in debilitated patients, but now Truss wondered if it might not be the other way round, that
Candida actually caused the debilitated condition.
He had read that potassium iodide solution could be used to treat Candida infestation of the blood. So he put the patient on six to
eight drops of Lugol's solution  four times a day and soon the patient was again completely well.
Soon afterwards he had a female patient with a stuffy nose, a throbbing headache, vaginitis and severe depression. To his
amazement all her problems immediately cleared with Candida treatment. Some time later he saw a female patient who had been
schizophrenic for six years with hundreds of electroshock treatments and massive drug dosages. He started treating the woman for
sinus allergies with a Candida vaccine. Soon she had recovered mentally and physically, and remained well.
From then on he treated his patients against Candida at the slightest indication of its presence. Many of his patients made
remarkable recoveries from most unusual conditions including menstrual problems, hyperactivity, learning disabilities, autism,
multiple sclerosis


 rural environments, outside the noise and crowds of
the city. The more carnage they saw, the more their unconscious
sympathetic responses kept building with no means of release. Eventually,
their nervous systems were so overloaded that they short-circuited and
collapsed.
I don’ t want to short-circuit. I want to condition myself so I can remain
flexible to the constant pressures of modern life.
“Keep going,” says McGee. “Get it all out!”
Professional surfers, mixed martial arts fighters, and Navy SEALs use
T ummo-style breathing to get into the zone before a competition or black
ops mission. It’ s also especially useful for middle-aged people who suf fer
from lower -grade stress, aches and pains, and slowing metabolisms. For
them—for me—T ummo can be a preventative therapy, a way to get a
fraying nervous system back on track and keep it there.
Simpler and less intense methods of breathing slow, less, through the
nose with a big exhale, can also dif fuse stress and restore balance. These
techniques can be life-changing, and I’d seen dozens of people changed by
them. But they can also take a while, especially for those with long-
standing chronic conditions.
Sometimes the body needs more than a soft nudge to get realigned.
Sometimes it needs a violent shove. That’ s what T ummo does.
•       •       •
That shove is still perplexing to the few scientists paying close attention to
such phenomena. They ask: How exactly can conscious extreme breathing
hack into the autonomic nervous system?
Dr. Stephen Por ges, a scientist and professor of psychiatry at the
University of North Carolina, has studied the nervous system and itsresponse to stress for the past 30 years. His primary focus is the vagus
nerve, a meandering network within the system that connects to all the
major internal or gans. The vagus nerve is the power lever; it’ s what turns
or gans on and of f in response to stress.
When perceived stress level is very high, the vagus nerve slows heart
rate, circulation, and or gan functions. This is how our reptilian and
mammalian ancestors evolved the ability to “play dead” hundreds of
millions of years ago, to conserve ener gy and deflect aggression when
under attack by predators. Reptiles still access this ability, as do many
mammals. (Imagine the limp body of a mouse in the jaws of a house cat.)
People “play dead,” too, because we share the same mechanisms in the
primitive part of our brain stem. W e call it fainting. Our tendency to faint is
controlled by the vagal system, specifically how sensitive we are to
perceived danger. Some people are so anxious and oversensitive that their
vagus nerves will cause them to faint at the smallest things, like seeing a
spider, hearing bad news, or looking at blood.
Most of us aren’ t that sensitive. It’ s much more common, especially in
the modern world, to never experience full-blown, life-threatening stress,
but to never fully relax either. W e’ll spend our days half-asleep and nights
half-awake, lolling in a gray zone of half-anxiety. When we do, the vagus
nerve stays half-stimulated.
During these times, the or gans throughout the body won’ t be “shut
down,” but will instead be half supported in a state of suspended animation:
blood flow will decrease and communication between the or gans and the
brain will become choppy, like a conversation through a staticky phone line.
Our bodies can persist like this for a while; they can keep us alive, but they
can’ t keep us healthy.
Por ges found that patients who suf fer Da Costa–like maladies such as
tingling in their fingers, chronic diarrhea, rapid heart rate, diabetes, and
erectile dysfunction are often treated for each of these symptoms with a
focus on individual or gans. But there’ s nothing wrong with their stomachs,
hearts, or genitals. What they often suf fer from are communication
problems along the vagal and autonomic network, brought on by chronic
stress. T o some researchers, it’ s no coincidence that eight of the top ten
most common cancers af fect or gans cut of f from normal blood flow during
extended states of stress.Fixing the autonomic nervous system can ef fectively cure or lessen
these symptoms. In the past decade, sur geons have implanted electrical
nodes in patients that work as an artificial vagal nerve to restart blood flow
and communication between or gans. The procedure is called vagus nerve
stimulation, and it’ s highly ef fective for patients suf fering from anxiety,
depression, and autoimmune diseases.
But there is another, less invasive way Por ges found to stimulate the
vagus nerve: breathing.
Breathing is an autonomic function we can consciously control. While
we can’ t simply decide when to slow or speed up our heart or digestion, or
to move blood from one or gan to another, we can choose how and when to
breathe. W illing ourselves to breathe slowly will open up communication
along the vagal network and relax us into a parasympathetic state.
Breathing really fast and heavy on purpose flips the vagal response the
other way, shoving us into a stressed state. It teaches us to consciously
access the autonomic nervous system and control it, to turn on heavy stress
specifically so that we can turn it of f and spend the rest of our days and
nights relaxing and restoring, feeding and breeding.

This was supposed to be biologically impossible. The autonomic nervous
system, per its definition, was supposed to be autonomic, as in automatic, as
in beyond our control. And for the past hundred years or so, this belief has
held. In much of medicine, it still holds today.
When Alexandra David-Néel finally returned to Paris and wrote about
T ummo and other Buddhist breathing techniques and meditations in her
1927 book, My Journey to Lhasa, few doctors and medical researchers
believed the stories. Few could accept that breathing alone could keep a
body warm in freezing temperatures. Fewer believed it could control
immune function and heal diseases.
Through the twentieth century, interest in T ummo grew, and a flood of
anthropologists, researchers, and seekers traveled to the Himalayas and
came back reporting the same feats that David-Néel had been talking about.
They told stories of monks wearing nothing but a single layer of clothes
throughout the winter, heating themselves in frigid stone monasteries byday and melting circles in the snow around their bare bodies by night.
Eventually, a Harvard Medical School researcher named Herbert Benson
thought it might be time to put T ummo to the test.
Benson flew to the Himalayas in 1981, recruited three monks, hooked
them up to sensors that measured the temperature in their fingers and toes,
and then asked them to practice T ummo breathing. During the practice, the
temperature in the monks’ extremities went up by as much as 17 degrees
Fahrenheit and stayed there. The results were published the next year in the
esteemed scientific journal Natur e.
The videos and photographs taken during the Harvard experiments
showed short men with satchels wrapped around flabby waists, their skin
covered in a thick sheen of sweat, eyes half-closed and lost in a thousand-
mile stare. The experiments added credence to what DavidNéel and Naropa
and described, and yet Benson’ s monks seemed even stranger than an
anarchist opera singer or ancient mystic. It all seemed totally inaccessible to
W esterners.
That would change by the early 2000s, when a Dutch man named W im
Hof ran a half-marathon through the snow above the Arctic Circle shirtless
and in bare feet. Here was a W esterner who had a beard, thinning lead-
colored hair, and a face pulled from a Bruegel painting. In short, he looked
like every other middle-aged Northern European male. Hof hadn’ t grown
up in a cave in India or suf fered from tuberculosis in a village hospital.
He’d worked as a mail carrier and was a father of four.
Y ears earlier, Hof ’ s wife had taken her own life after years of
depression. He had sought refuge from his pain by deepening his practice of
yoga, meditation, and breathing practices. He unearthed the ancient
technique of T ummo, honed it, simplified it, repackaged it for mass
consumption, and began promoting its powers in a string of daredevil stunts
that would have been quickly discounted if the media hadn’ t been around to
verify them.
Hof submer ged himself in a bath filled with ice for an hour and 52
minutes, and he suf fered no hypothermia or frostbite. Then he ran a full
marathon in the Namib desert in temperatures that reached 104, without
ever sipping a drop of water.
Over the span of a decade, Hof broke 26 world records, each more
baf fling than the last. These stunts earned him international fame, and hissmiling, frost-covered face soon appeared on dozens of magazine covers, in
flashy documentary specials, and in a
