healing,
you
are
able
to
create
your
own
medicines
within
yourself
that
are
effective
for
your
own
specific
ailments
and
use
them
repeatedly
through
the
intake
of
urine.
Free
commands,
healing
spirit
tuning
and
various
types
of
autosuggestion
can
help
you
in
this,
and
urine
will
only
strengthen
their
beneficial
effects.
This
is
also
where
the
warning
comes
from:
Urine
cannot
be
drunk
after
nervous
shocks,
anger,
hatred,
insult
and
similar
feelings.
You
must
wait
at
least
two
days
to
receive
it.
According
to
Ayurveda,
where
the
polar
level
of
our
organism
passes
to
the
quantum
level,
the
three
main
life
principles
that
the
Indians
call
doshas
(dosha
literally
means
moisture,
effusion)
act.
They
are
different
for
each
person
and
in
the
system
"polar
level
(spiritual,
consciousness)
-
material
body"
they
regulate
all
functions
of
the
human
organism.
Over
time,
mainly
as
a
result
of
a
low
culture
of
thought,
improper
diet
and
way
of
life,
the
coordination
between
the
polar
(mental)
and
physiological
levels
of
the
human
body
breaks
down.
The
result
is
a
variety
of
diseases
and
ailments,
from
neuroses
and
seizures
to
insanity,
diabetes
and
cancer.
Several
days
of
rest
with
regular
performance
of
transcendental
meditation
(relaxation),
diet
with
regard
to
individual
body
composition
and
intake
of
own
urine
allow
to
quickly
restore
the
lost
mind-body
connection,
get
rid
of
disorders
and
feel
full
of
strength
and
creative
plans.
It
is
for
this
reason
that
weekly
meditation
and
relaxation
courses
to
balance
the
psychological
state
are
so
popular
in
the
West.
In
this
case,
our
urine
transmits
and
corrects
the
effects
of
the
calming
organism
on
its
unbalanced
and
out-of-tune
functions.
This
is
how
our
individual
body
structure
affects
urine
and
makes
it
a
very
specific
liquid
at
any
moment
in
time.
Periodic
implementation
of
such
correction
programs
(3
-
10
times
a
year)
will
allow
us
to
always
be
in
shape
and
in
time
to
bridge
the
widening
gap
between
consciousness
and
body.

Influence
of
the
lunar
cycle
and
seasonal
peculiarities
on
urine
Knowing
how
our
body
works
during
the
lunar
cycle
and
seasons
will
allow
us
to
use
urine
more
effectively
and
confidently
to
heal
and
stimulate
the
body's
vital
functions.
During
the
lunar
cycle
(lunar
month),
due
to
the
influence
of
the
gravity
of
the
Moon
and
the
Sun,
the
activity
of
the
functions
of
the
human
body
changes
as
follows:
During
the
first
phase
(lasts
7.4
days),
in
its
first
third
(right
after
the
new
moon),
the
head,
face,
brain,
upper
jaw
are
activated
,
eyes,
in
the
second
third
-
throat,
neck,
Eustachian
tube,
cervical
vertebrae
and
in
the
last
third
-
shoulders,
hands,
lungs,
nervous
system.
In
the
second
phase
(after
the
first
quarter),
completely
different
parts
of
the
body
are
active,
as
well
as
in
the
third
and
fourth
phases.
The
following
table
shows
the
activity
of
organs
and
parts
of
the
body
depending
on
the
phases
of
the
Moon.
1st
phase
(after
New
Moon):
-
head,
face,
brain,
upper
jaw,
eyes
-
throat,
neck,
Eustachian
tube,
cervical
vertebrae
-
shoulders,
hands
up
to
elbows,
lungs,
nervous
system
Phase
2
(Day
8):-
epigastric
region,
breasts,
abdomen,
elbows
-
heart,
gall
bladder,
rib
cage
and
thoracic
spine
3rd
phase
(after
the
full
moon,
day
15):
-
kidneys,
kidney
area
and
sacrum
-
gonads,
prostate,
bladder,
small
intestine
-
buttocks,
lumbar
bones,
coccyx
4th
phase
(22
days):
-
knees,
skeletal
system,
skin
and
digestive
system
-
ankles,
wrists,
lower
limb
bones,
eyesight
-
body
fluids,
peristalsis
of
the
stomach
and
intestines
In
addition,
there
are
two
phases
(quarters)
in
the
lunar
month
(lasts
29.5
days)
-
the
first
and
third
-
after
the
new
moon
and
after
the
full
moon,
when
the
organism
receives,
absorbs
and
retains
nutrients
well.
On
the
contrary,
in
the
next
phases
(second
and
fourth),
the
body
expels
all
waste
substances
and
harmful
substances.
At
this
time,
it
is
convenient
and
effective
to
perform
cleansing
procedures.
If
you
want
to
introduce
something
into
the
organism
(e.g.
saturate
it
with
salts
from
urine),
then
use
the
first
or
third
phase
of
the
Moon.
Use
the
second
and
fourth
phases
for
excreting
harmful
substances,
for
example
when
you
want
to
clean
your
colon
with
urine.
If
you
want
to
purposefully
get
into
a
certain
body,
you
have
to
use
the
time
of
day
j
his
activities.
The
seasonal
activity
of
the
body's
functions
and
the
organs
associated
with
them
is
a
long-established
fact.
According
to
ancient
observations,
during
the
year
the
most
important
organs
of
the
human
body
-
liver,
heart,
lungs,
kidneys
and
spleen
-
are
active
for
72
days.
In
other
words,
this
period
is
the
most
suitable
time
for
their
recovery,
or
cure.
Not
taking
advantage
of
such
an
opportunity
is
an
unfor givable
mistake.
How
to
behave
practically?
For
example,
the
liver
is
active
for
the
first
72
days
of
the
year.
During
24
hours,
the
functions
of
the
liver
and
gallbladder
take
place
from
11
pm
to
3
am.
This
means
that
on
these
days,
more
liver
metabolites
are
secreted
into
the
blood,
which
enter
the
urine
and
make
it
"relative"
to
the
liver.
Urine
must
be
stored,
activated
in
any
of
the
mentioned
ways,
e.g.
by
evaporation,
and
compresses
should
be
applied
to
the
area
of
  the
liver
during
its
activity.

Every day, we urinate nutrients that can fertilize plants
that could be used for beautiful landscapes, food, fuel,
and fiber. Instead, these nutrients are flushed away,
either to be treated at high cost or discharged to waters
where they overfertilize and choke off aquatic life.
Liquid Gold: The Lore and Logic of Using Urine to Grow Plantstells you
how urine—which contains most of the nutrients in domestic wastewater
and usually carries no disease risk—can be utilized as a resource. Starting
with a short history of urine use—from ritual to medicinal to even
c u l i n a ry—and a look at some unexpected urinals,Liquid Goldshows how
urine is used worldwide to grow food and landscapes, while protecting the environment,
saving its users the cost of fertilizer, and reconnecting people to the land and the nutrient
cycles that sustain them. T h a t ’s real flower power!
Liquid Gold features three ways to use urine hygienically and productively for plant growth,
with studies that show the science behind this practice. Several advocates of urine
diversion and their gardens are profiled, demonstrating that using urine for fertilizer is a
feasible, safe, and cost-saving way to prevent pollution and save on fertilizer costs.
Whimsical drawings by Malcolm W ells (world-renowned architect, artist, and author of several
books, including The Earth-Sheltered Home, Classic Architectural Birdhouses, Recovering
America, InfraStructures, and How to Build an Underground House ) throughout the book
make this a must for every bathroom library, a great gift for gardeners (and anyone who
urinates), and an enlightening problem-solver for environmental planners dealing with the
nutrient pollution of water.
Author Carol Steinfeld is projects director for Ecowater Projects, a nonprofit project that
informs the public about ecological wastewater management solutions. She is the co-author
of The Composting Toilet System Book and Reusing the

health	and	well-being	of	their	fellow	human	beings.	And	especially	to	all	those	health

Introduction

Many	people	believe	that	gallstones	can	be	found	only	in	the	gallbladder.	This	is	a
commonly	made	yet	false	assumption.	Most	gallstones	are	actually	formed	in	the	liver,
and	comparatively	few	occur	in	the	gallbladder.	You	can	easily	verify	this	assessment	by
giving	yourself	a	liver	cleanse.	It	matters	little	whether	you	are	a	layperson,	a	medical
doctor,	a	scientist,	or	someone	whose	gallbladder	was	removed	and,	therefore,	is	believed
to	be	stone-free.	The	results	of	the	liver	cleanse
1
	speak	for	themselves.	No	amount	of
scientific	proof	or	medical	explanation	can	make	such	a	cleanse	any	more	valuable	than	it
already	is.	Once	you	see	hundreds	of	green,	beige-colored,	brown,	or	black	gallstones
floating	in	the	toilet	bowl	during	your	first	liver	cleanse,	you	will	intuitively	know	that
you	are	on	to	something	extremely	important	in	your	life.	To	satisfy	your	possibly	curious
mind,	you	may	decide	to	take	the	expelled	stones	to	a	laboratory	for	chemical	analysis	or
ask	your	doctor	what	she	thinks	about	all	that.	Your	doctor	may	either	support	you	in	your
initiative	to	heal	yourself,	tell	you	this	is	just	ridiculous,	or	warn	you	against	it.	However,
what	is	most	significant	in	this	experience	is	that	you	have	taken	active	responsibility	for
your	own	health,	perhaps	for	the	first	time	in	your	life.

Not	everyone	is	as	fortunate	as	you	are.	An	estimated	20	percent	of	the	world’s
population	will	develop	gallstones	in	their
gallbladder
	at	some	stage	in	their	lives;	many
of	them	will	opt	for	surgical	removal	of	this	important	organ.	This	statistical	figure	does
not	account,	though,	for	the	many	more	people	who	will	develop	gallstones	(or	already
have	them)	in	their
liver
.	During	some	thirty	years	of	practicing	natural	medicine	and
dealing	with	thousands	of	people	suffering	from	all	types	of	chronic	diseases,	I	can	attest
to	the	fact	that	each	one	of	them,	without	exception,	has	had	considerable	quantities	of
gallstones	in	his	or	her	liver.	Surprisingly,	only	relatively	few	of	them	reported	to	have	had
a	history	of	gallstones	in	their	gallbladder.	Gallstones	in	the	liver	are,	as	you	will
understand	from	reading	this	book,	the	main	impediment	to	acquiring	and	maintaining
good	health,	youthfulness,	and	vitality.	Gallstones	in	the	liver	are,	indeed,	one	of	the	major
reasons	people	become	ill	and	have	difficulty	recuperating	from	illness.

The	failure	to	recognize	and	accept	the	incidence	of	gallstone	formation	in	the	liver	as
an	extremely	common	phenomenon	may	very	well	be	the	most	unfortunate	oversight	that
has	ever	been	made	in	the	field	of	medicine,	both	orthodox	and	complementary.

Relying	so	heavily	on	blood	tests	for	diagnostic	purposes,	as	conventional	medicine
does,	may	actually	be	a	great	disadvantage	with	regard	to	assessing	liver	health.	Most
people	who	have	a	physical	complaint	of	one	kind	or	another	may	have	perfectly


 we are
relaxed and at peace. Our breat h directly reflects how we feel, but we can
also change how we feel by changing our breath.
The breath is also the carrier of prana, the life force energy that enlivens
and animates us. Prana is the electricity that rides on oxygen. It feeds all the
functions in our body and works directly with the mind. Prana is an
electrical current that travels through the subtle ener gy channels in the body,
known as the nadis.  We say that where your awareness goes is where the
prana flows. When the prana flows freely through the nadis, we experience
sukha, or ease. When there is an obstruction to the flow of prana, we
experience dukha,  or suf fering.
What is a full, complete breath?
Many of us have  imbalances in our breath because we do not know how
to breathe. As Deepak mentione d earlier, the yogis measure life not by the
number of years we live but by the number of breaths we take. By
extending our breath, they believe, we are also extending our life span and
the quality of our life.Anatomically, this is what happens on a full, complete breath:
On inhalation, the brain triggers the diaphragm muscles
to contract. This ﬂattens the diaphragm as the intercostal
muscles between the ribs lift the rib cage out and up.
The muscles along the spine contract to lift the sternum.
The upper abdominal muscles relax, allowing the
abdominal organs to press down into the abdominal
cavity. All of this creates a vacuum in the chest, which
makes air suck into the lungs. For a full, complete breath,
the third, fourth, and ﬁfth ribs are lifted by the pectoral
muscles, and the scalene muscles lift the ﬁrst two ribs on
either side of the neck. These accessory breathing
muscles are there for us to take in more air when we
need it.
On the exhalation, the reverse of this process happens.
The neck, pectoral, intercostal, spinal, and diaphragm
muscles all relax. This allows the ﬂow of air out of the
chest cavity. The lower abdominal muscles pull back in
toward the body’s center for the ﬁnal expulsion of air.
When practicing  asanas, we want to ensure that the architectur e of the
pose facilitates the anatomy of the breath. Some poses will compress the
diaphragm, rib cage, belly, or chest. In each posture, we want to adjust our
body to accommodate a full complete breath. This ensures the circulation of
prana throughout the body.
Ujjayi Breath
It is optimal to breathe in and out through the nostrils to keep the breath
long, slow, and controlled when practicing asanas. Ujjayi, or “victorious”
breath, is a techn ique that involves narrowing the vocal cords at the back of
the throat. This process slows down the passage of air in the pharynx, whichlengthens and extends the breath. It also creates a warming effect on the
breath, which helps build mental heat and focus. Ujjayi  makes a whispe ry-
like sound that stimulates the vagus nerve (the longest and most complex
cranial nerve, a central part of the parasympathetic nervous system). Ujjayi
gives our mind something audible to anchor to in each pose.
How to practice ujjayi  breath:
Inhale through your nostrils.
As you exhale, open your mouth, and breathe out as if
you were fogging up a mirror. Listen to the ocean-like
sound of the breath and go to the very bottom of the
exhalation.
Now inhale and engage those same muscles at the back
of the throat as you did on the exhalation, keeping your
mouth open.
Exhale again as if you were fogging up a mirror. Close
your mouth halfway and breathe out through the
nostrils, listening for that whispery-like sound of the
breath. It should be audible just to you.
Keep your mouth closed as you inhale through the
nostrils.
Continue to breathe slowly in and out like this, engaging
the ujjayi breath.
The Vayus
The vayus  are winds or directions of energy that govern the healthy
functioning of our body. Each asana has a particular vayu  or vayus  that are
dominant when we experience it. Each vayu  has an element associated with
it, a pattern of movement, and a specific function that it carries out. For
example, when we practice an asana that activates the core, we elicit the
qualities of digestion or conversion, which is samana vayu. When we openthe chest, we encourage oxygen absorption into the body, which is prana
vayu. The five vayus  and their qualities are:
Vayu Element Function Area of the Body
Apana Earth Elimination;
downward ﬂowFeet, legs, pelvis
Vyana Water Circulation,
distributionAll over
Samana Fire Conversion,
metabolismNavel
Prana Air Absorption,
inspirationChest and head
Udana Space Projection, upward
ﬂowThroat
The Bandhas
The Sanskrit word bandha  means to “lock.” When we perform
bandhas, we are rechanneling our energy, the way a dam may redirect the
flow of a river. We usually practice the bandhas  on breath retentions,
especially during pranayama. However, bandhas  can be used in the asanas
as well. They help us to create a dynamic state of grace that can empower
us in our everyday life.
Here are the four bandhas  and their functions:
Mula bandha is the “root lock,” located at the pelvic ﬂoor
between the tailbone and the pubic bone. When we
engage mula bandha, we lift the muscles of the pelvic
ﬂoor, like an elevator, toward the navel. Mula bandha
inhibits the downward ﬂow of apana so that the upward
energy—udana—can be integrated into the body. This
helps us to feel our own presence and power in the
postures.Uddiyana bandha means to “ﬂy upward.” It is the act of
drawing the lower abdominal muscles back and up
toward the spine, usually at the bottom of the exhalation.
Uddiyana bandha stimulates samana vayu, and
encourages energy to ﬂow upward to the crown,
especially during breath and meditation practices.
Engaging a slight uddiyana bandha in the asana helps us
engage our core, enabling us to contain our energy,
rather than dispersing it.
Jalandhara bandha means “net lock,” and it is located at
the neck and throat. When we perform jalandhara
bandha, we draw the chin gently down toward the chest.
This can be done on the retention of the inhalation or
the exhalation during pranayama and meditation
practices. Jalandhara bandha allows the upward energy,
udana, to be directed back down along the central
channel of the spine. Jalandhara stimulates the
parasympathetic nerves at the brain stem, which
cultivates a sense of calm and tranquility when practiced
with the asanas.
Treta bandha means “triple lock,” and it involves the
engagement of all three bandhas simultaneously. When
the downward energy of apana moves up in mula
bandha, and the upward energy of udana moves down
in jalandhara bandha, they create friction, or samana, at
the center of the spine, which helps to break our mental
patterning and false identities. Treta bandha is useful
when practicing arm balances, four-limbed poses, and
inversions, as we seek to become more compact and
buoyant. Treta bandha helps us to defy both gravity and
the limited beliefs that weigh us down.MUDRA
A mudra  is a seal or a gesture that creates a circuit of energy in the
body. Mudras  are typically performed with the hands; however, they can
also be done with the head, perineum, and through different  shapes we
create with the entire body. These gestures are powerful tools to shift our
consciousness. Two mudras  that we will explore in the asanas are ashvini
mudra  and vajroli mudra, both of which are performed in the perineum.
Ashvini mudra involves engaging the anal sphincter
muscles, which we use when we are inhibiting ﬂatulence.
When we perform ashvini mudra during forward bends,
it creates a natural lift in the front of the body, which
lengthens the spine and takes us out of tamas into satva
guna.
Vajroli mudra works the urethral sphincter muscles,
which are the muscles we use to restrain the act of
urination. When we perform vajroli mudra during
backbends, it lifts the back of the body and takes us out
of rajas into satva guna.
KRIYA
A kriya  is an act to purify our consciousness. Many types of kriya  are
used in various methodologies for varying purposes.


 less food. Many are able to function very efficiently on two meals a day. As the body progressively
increases efficiency and decreases in tissue breakdown under exercise, so do we gradually need less and less food
to maintain life.
The higher the percentage of raw fo od one lives on, the slower the rate of tissue deterioration which one evolves into.
A sick body requires a gradual carefully worked -out entry into this stage, where one is able to live on a 100% unfired
(raw) diet.

SKIN RASHES
Returning to the symptoms w hich occur on a superior nutritional program, people who have had tendencies in the
past to recurring skin rashes or eruptions will frequently tend to eliminate poisons and harmful drugs through the skin
with new rashes or eruptions. If they go to a doctor  now who is not familiar with this aspect of nutrition, he will
diagnose it as an allergy.
They ask. "How come. I'm eating better now than I ever did before, and instead I'm getting worse?" They don't
understand that the body is retracing.
The skin is gett ing more alive and active. It's throwing out more poisons more rapidly now that the body is building
more power which is saved from those hard -to-ingest meals which have been discontinued.

TOXINS DISCARDED
These toxins being discarded are saving you from more serious disease which will result if you keep them in your
body too much longer - possibly hepatitis, kidney disorders, blood disease, heart disease, arthritis, nerve
degenerations or even cancer - depending upon your hereditary or structural weakness es. Be happy you're paying
your bills now in an easy -payment plan.

CONSTRUCTIVE HOUSECLEANING
With some, colds which haven't appeared for a long time may occur, or even fevers. This is nature's way of
housecleaning. Understand that these actions are constructive, even though unpleasant at the moment. Don't, but
don't, try to stop these symptoms by the use of certain drugs, or even massive doses of vitamins, which will act as
drugs in huge concentrations.

RESPECT THE CURING PROCESS
These symptoms are part of a curing process, and don't try to cure a cure. These are not deficiency conditions or
allergic manifestations - not if you're eating properly in quality, quantity, combination and sequence.
Here is where experienced advice is a great value. Unfort unately, there are few books present today which give full
guidance to the average reader. Try to find guidance through a doctor or teacher who has the requisite experience in
this most confusing of all subjects - nutrition in relation to health and diseas e.

MILD OR SEVERE SYMPTOMS
You may he eating perfectly in regard to quantity, quality and observing all the correct rules, and still symptoms will
occur. Those who have lived better lives in the past - who have eaten better foods and who have abused their  bodies
less with overeating will have reactions ranging from almost none at all or very mild symptoms which may be
uncomfortable or acute.
Those who have lived worse lives and poisoned themselves more will experience more severe symptoms - if their
liver,  kidneys, or other important eliminating organs have been damaged. When they have been renovated to the
point of fair working order, they will no longer produce symptoms.

EXAMPLES
•   Headaches may occur at the beginning:
•   fever and/or colds may also a ppear:
•   the skin may break out;
•   there may be a short interval of bowel sluggishness,

 copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648 -1500    www.drbass.com  8

•   occasional diarrhea.
•   feelings of tiredness and weakness,
•   disinclination to exercise,
•   nervousness, irritability, negativity or mental depression,
•   frequent urination etc.
However, the great majority of people find their reactions tolerable and are encouraged to bear with them, because of
the many improveme nts which have already occurred and are becoming more evident with each day. This acts as an
inspirational force to them.

SYMPTOMS WILL DIFFER
The symptoms will vary according to the materials being discarded, the condition of the organs involved in the
elimination and the amount of energy you have available. The more you rest and sleep when symptoms are present,
the milder they are and the more quickly they are terminated. Be happy you are having symptoms.

YOUNGER AND HEALTHIER EVERY DAY
Realize deeply that your body is becoming younger and healthier every day, because you are throwing off more and
more wastes which would eventually have brought pain, disease and much suffering.
Those who have the worst symptom -reactions and follow through to their succe ssful termination are thus avoiding
some of the worst disease which would eventually have developed had they continued their careless eating habits.

CYCLICAL IMPROVEMENT
Don't expect to go on an ascending scale of quality, that improving your diet will ma ke you feel better and better each
dax until you reach perfection. The body is cyclical in nature. and health returns in a series of gradually diminishing
cycles.
For example: you start a better diet and for a while you feel much better. After some time, a  symptom occurs - you
feel nauseous for a day and have diarrhea with a foul -smelling stool. After one day you feel even better than before
and it goes fine for awhile. Then you suddenly develop a cold, feel chills and lose your appetite. After about two or
three days (assuming you don't take drugs or do anything else about it), you suddenly recover and feel better than
you did for years.
Let us say this wellbeing continues for two months, when you suddenly develop an itch or rash. You don't take
anything sp ecial for it. This rash flares up, gets worse and continues for ten days, and suddenly subsides.
Immediately after this you find that your hepatica is gone and your energy has increased more than ever before. The
rash became an outlet for the poisons in th e liver which produced the hepatitis.

DOW JONES RECOVERY CYCLES
This is how recovery occurs - like the cycles in the Dow -Jones Average at the beginning of a bull market recovery.
You feel better, a reaction occurs and you don't feel as well for a short wh ile. You recover and go even higher. Then
another reaction occurs, milder than the last. You recover and go even higher. And so it goes, each reaction milder
than the last as the body becomes pure.
Each reaction becoming shorter in duration and being, followed by a longer period of feeling better than ever before,
until you reach a level plateau of vibrant health.
Here you become relatively disease -free.

CONCLUSION
We must learn to obey the laws of Nature. We must learn to eat simple pure and natural f oods, properly prepared and
combined, and our bodies in return will cast off all the poisons we have taken in during our lives.
The mysteries of the body, the operations of nature, the vital forces working in nature are far beyond what our minds
are prepar ed to understand at present.
Every great physician or scientist who ever lived marveled in awe and humility at the wonders of nature. Yes - we are
"fearfully and wonderfully made."

Sequential eating and food combining
Excerpts from "Ideal  Health through Sequential Eating"

"To simplify this concept of sequential or layered eating, the basic rule or principle can be stated
as follows: Eat the most watery food first, the next less watery food second, etc."

 copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648 -1500    www.drbass.com                                                9

INTRODUCTION
..... In my opinion and experience as a nutritional consultant in Natural Hygiene (I began studying nutrition  in 1936),
sequential eating represents the most advanced approach to understanding proper food combining.
After testing and retesting the concept on myself thousands of times, as well as on others, including the experience of
Dr. Cursio, his family, his p atients, as well as other Hygienic doctors - Dr. John Mega, Dr. Marvin Telmar, Dr. Anthony
Penepent, etc.......

FOOD COMBINING
......Any quick digesting foods must wait till the slowest digesting foods leave the stomach before they can leave - a
process which can take up to 6 or 8 hours. While waiting, the fruit, cooked and raw vegetables, and some of the
starches undergo some decomposition and fermentation, producing gas, acid and even alcohol along with
indigestion......

FOODS WITH SAME DIGESTIVE TIME
There are food groups which may be combined at the same course during a meal. These are foods which have the
same approximate digestive time......
A RADICAL NEW CONCEPT OF DIGESTION
..... If there are 5 different types of food in the stomach at one meal,  each eaten separately and in sequence, there will
be 5 different kinds of digestion going on at the same time, each layer having different enzymes digest


Behavior
showed	NSAIDs	interfere	with
melatonin	production,	with	a	75	percent	nighttime	reduction.	Decreased
melatonin	production	has	been	associated	with	sleep	disorders	as	well	as
promotion	of	cancer.
•	A	1996	study	in
Lancet
showed	that	aspirin,	in	any	form,	such	as	buffered
or	coated,	causes	gastrointestinal	bleeding.	As	few	as	one	aspirin	can	cause
bleeding.
NSAIDs	cause	intestinal	bleeding	by	blocking	action	of	messenger	molecules
called	prostaglandins.	Some	prosta-glandins	cause	inflammation	and	pain,	and
others	stimulate	healing	and	repair.	NSAIDs	block	both	types.	Because	the
intestinal	lining	is	renewed	very	rapidly	(about	every	three	days),	blocking	the
repair	process	results	in	a	gut	that	is	weak,	inflamed	and	leaky.
What	should	you	do	for	a	headache?	Simple	acupressure	techniques	and
homeopathic	remedies	work	quite	well.	What	should	you	do	for	pain	or
inflammation?	Eat	a	whole-foods	diet,	at	least	75	percent	raw.	Avoid	sugar,
white	flour,	hydrogenated	oils,	junk	foods	and	colas,	and	drink	plenty	of	pure
water.	Avoid	meat	and	dairy,	but	choose	oily	fish	such	as	salmon	(ocean
harvested,	rather	than	farmed).	Take	vitamin	C	up	to	bowel	tolerance,	2	to	4
grams	of	quercitin	per	day,	30	to	60	mg	of	zinc	daily,	100,000	units	of	beta-
carotene	for	several	days,	and	then	25,000	for	several	weeks,	plus	vitamin	A	and
vitamin	E.	Essential	fatty	acid	supplements	also	are	critical.	Digestive	enzymes
help,	and	especially	take	1	to	3	grams	of	bromelain	or	papain	per	day.	A	number
of	herbs	as	well	as	homeopathic	remedies	are	anti-inflammatory.	These	are
excellent	alternatives	to	NSAIDs.
Antibiotics:
Most	of	us	have	been	given	an	antibiotic	at	one	time	or	another,
and	this	contributes	to	one	of	our	largest	sources	of	toxins—those	generatedwithin	our	own	digestive	systems.	Antibiotics	are	designed	to	kill	disease-
causing	bacteria,	but	they	also	kill	the	friendly	bacteria	in	our	digestive	systems.
If	these	bacteria	are	absent	or	out	of	balance,	a	chain	of	unhealthy	events	is
initiated,	including	undigested	or	mal-absorbed	food.	Beneficial	intestinal
bacteria	produce	needed	vitamins,	such	as	B-complex	vitamins,	vitamin	B
12
and
vitamin	K.	These	essential	nutrients	are	no	longer	produced	when	the	friendly
bacteria	are	displaced,	and	vitamin	deficiency	can	result.
In	addition,	friendly	bacteria	prevent	undesirable	yeasts	from	proliferating	by
competing	for	food	and	producing	biotin	to	inhibit	yeast	growth.	When
antibiotics	kill	beneficial	bacterial,	undesirable	yeasts	and	bacteria	thrive	and
take	over,	establishing	their	own	ecosystem.	This	inhibits	the	beneficial	bacteria
from	reestablishing	themselves.	Yeasts	also	produce	numerous	immune-reactive
substances	that	force	the	immune	system	to	form	antibodies	constantly.	This
stress	may	lead	to	impaired	functioning	of	the	immune	system	to	the	point	of
immune	suppression	or	even	breakdown.	Also,	yeasts	inhibit	magnesium
absorption	(which	can	lead	to	numerous	neurological	problems),	damage	gut
tissue	and	cause	leaking	gut	syndrome.	A	variety	of	health	problems	can	result,
ranging	from	chronic	fatigue	to	allergies,	arthritis	and	other	immune	dysfunction
diseases.
A	January	1996	article	in
Internal	Medicine	World	Report
stated	that	in	1991,
more	than	40	million	prescriptions	were	written	in	America	for	antibiotics	to
treat	people	for	the	common	cold.	This	use	is	inappropriate;	antibiotics	have	no
effect	on	the	common	cold.	Vast	overprescribing	of	this	type	fosters	the
development	of	antibiotic-resistant	bacteria.
In	May	1996,	the	World	Health	Organization	(WHO)	issued	a	report	warning
that	“incurable”	strains	of	bacteria	are	being	discovered.	Many	infectious
diseases,	formerly	controllable	with	antibiotics,	are	reappearing	in	forms
difficult	or	even	impossible	to	treat.	“We	are	standing	on	the	brink	of	a	global
crisis	in	infectious	diseases,”	said	Hiroshi	Nakajima,	M.D.,	WHO’s	director
general.	The	report	warns	that	the	spread	of	untreatable	infections	is	threatening
to	undermine	modern	advances	in	health	care.	In	many	hospitals,	antibiotic-
resistant	staphylococcus	infections	are	epidemic.	More	and	more	people	die
every	year	from	antibiotic-resistant	infections,	acquired	in	hospitals.	The	WHO
report	noted	that	the	“inappropriate	use	of	antibiotics”	is	to	blame	both	for	the
increase	in	drug-resistant	microbes	and	for	the	weakened	immune	systems	of
patients.	Either	factor	is	serious;	combined,	they	are	catastrophic.	Weakened
immune	systems	play	a	crucial	role	in	the	development	of	AIDS,	autoimmune
diseases,	asthma,	allergies	and	a	long	list	of	other	health	problems.Antibiotics	represent	what	may	be	the	single	most	damaging	category	of	drugs
employed	by	allopathic	medicine,	and,	like	most	drugs,	are	unnecessary.	Only
sick	people	get	sick;	prevent	infections	by	eating	a	good	diet	and	avoiding
toxins.	Stay	away	from	immune-damaging	foods	like	sugar,	take	high-quality
supplements,	reduce	stress	and	get	regular	exercise.	If	an	infection	does	occur,
natural	remedies	should	be	considered	before	defaulting	to	the	antibiotics	that
physicians	will	undoubtedly	prescribe.	Take	lots	of	vitamins	A,	C	(up	to	the
point	where	you	begin	getting	excessive	gas	or	diarrhea,	then	decrease),	and	E,
garlic,	herbs	like	echinacea,	or	homeopathic	remedies.	Natural	antibiotics	like
olive	leaf	extract	are	also	helpful.
Hormones:
Hormones	are	critical	to	health	because	they	are	part	of	the	body’s
self-regulating	system.	They	control	gene	expression,	and,	as	part	of	the	body’s
vital	communication	systems,	they	help	balance	the	body.	Hormone	chemistry	is
awesomely	complex	and	when	you	begin	tampering	with	it,	the	effects	on	the
body’s	system	of	checks	and	balances	are	unknown	and	potentially	catastrophic.
Even	minute	hormone	quantities	can	have	a	profound	effect	on	the	body.	The
human	body	manufactures	only	50	to	100	millionths	of	a	gram	per	day	of	thyroid
hormone,	resulting	in	a	blood	concentration	of	only	one	part	per	ten	billion	(1	in
10,000,000,000).	Yet	this	minute	amount	has	a	major	regulatory	effect.
Supplemental	hormones	are	dangerous	meddling	in	the	unknown	because	it	is	so
easy	to	interfere	with	the	body’s	system	of	hormonal	checks	and	balances.
Prescription	hormones—birth	control	pills,	hormone	replacement	therapy	and
steroid	hormones—	are	the	most	common	threats,	as	are	steroids	found	in
overthe-counter	products	such	as	cortisone	ointments


 are getting the second best water in the universe and lots
of easy to absorb nutrients but you keep coming out of a fasted state.
So which is better? Water fasting giving your digestive system a break and
increasing the body’s production of amazing things by thousands of percent, but
no nutrients, or juicing where you have nutrients but have to come out of fasted
state which suppresses the body increasing natural hormones by thousands of
percent?
1.Water fasting. Advantage-Fasted state means increase in beneficial
substances in the body. Also fully cleansing and healing due to fasted state.
Disadvantage no nutrients coming in.
2.Juice fasting. Advantage-Nutrients coming in regularly and you are
consuming the second best water in the universe.
Disadvantage- You come out of fasted state every time you drink so you don’t
get the increase of beneficial substances in your blood and your body has to stop
cleansing and healing every time you come out of a fasted state.
The good news is that there is a third option that offers the advantages to both
options with none of the disadvantages. This third option gives you even more
bioavailable nutrients than juicing, but doesn't take you out of the fasted state.
How could that be possible?
This third option is far better than the benefits of either juice fasting or just water
fasting, because the drink you will be consuming instead is completely bio
available giving you even more nutrients than juicing and will not restart your
digestive system as juicing will do. This drink is exactly the same as what is
already in your blood at the time you drink it, so it's recognised by your body as
already you. Yes this drink is liquid you. And it's given to you every day for free.
It is your own urine, or a better name for it is orin.Option number 3. Omad orin looping. Advantage- You get even more and better
nutrients than juice fasting. The number one best water in the universe even
better than fresh fruit and vegetable juice. You do not come out of fasted state
so have all the advantages of the water only fast. Your body doesn’t have to stop
cleansing and healing. Your body increases human growth hormone by around
2000% along with many other beneficial substances with similar increases.
Every human being has already been drinking it for about nine months before
they were born. As a baby you pee into the space you are floating in and drink it
down again, around and round it goes. This is called looping your orin. Every
human has done this for about nine months.
If it was a waste product as we have been led to believe then every baby would
surely die. The truth is it is not a waste product but an excess product. The waste
goes out the umbilical cord, and then once you are born it goes out the back
passage. The urine does not. The baby pees into the space they are floating in
and drinks out down again and again. This is looping. This is an important part of
the programme. Omad works so much more powerfully combined with orin
looping.
Chapter 2
Urine is antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitical, anti-virus, anti-microbial and anti
just about everything that is bad for humans. It’s in lots of beauty products and face
creams already and you don’t even know it. Urine helps to further educate your body
as to what’s foreign and what’s domestic. Then get rid of the foreign things that
should not be inside you. This is why urine is one of the best choices for autoimmune
problems that are running rampant these days. Urine also contains vitamins,
minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, enzymes, proteins, carbohydrates and most
importantly it’s 100% structured water. Far better than any other structured water in
the universe. Your body will know exactly what to do with it because IT IS YOU. It
also contains several thousand different known chemical compounds and
constituents that are incredibly powerful for the human body. As well it includes an
unknown number of as yet undiscovered and unnamed substances.
Orin looping teaches your body what is foreign and what is domestic. Another way to
put it, it rids the body of what should not be there, but what should be there goes
round and round and is used again and again.
Anything inorganic or dead in the body will be cleaned out. Any inorganic matter,
mostly inorganic minerals which are dissolved rocks and sand. Not only does it rid
the body of dead inorganic matter but there are other living organic things in the
body that shouldn't be there and orin looping also cleans it all out. The bugs, right
from the microscopic virus and harmful bacteria all the way up to the large parasites
as long as your leg. It will not rid the body of good bacteria and enzymes that the
liver decides is good for you.
That's the beauty of the way the liver and kidneys work together when orin looping.
You dump the toxins at the liver every time you loop. The bad things are forced out
the back passage, or your lungs or skin also get rid of the bad stuff. The good stuff
goes on into your orin. You slowly detox the body and get rid of all the things that
should not be inside you. Looping your orin teaches your body what is foreign and
domestic or another way to say it; what is good for you and what is bad for you.I am a distilled water window cleaner in London. Been doing it for decades now. I see
every day first hand just how powerful pure water is at cleaning. Why is pure water
used in machines instead of mineral water? Because the minerals are all inorganic
dead rocks that will build up. Pure water will dissolve them and clean the machine.
Well the human body is a machine. Both distilled water from a distillation machine or
from your body's distillers the kidneys in the form or orin are so magnetic for
anything of the opposite electrical charge.
All the good things in your body, living organic minerals that you get from plants are
the same charge. Everybody knows what happens when you put two sides the same
as each other of a horseshoe magnet together. They repel each other, the distilled
water leaves living good things in the body. It physically and magnetically can not rid
the body of living good minerals.
What happens when you put two opposite side of the magnet near each other? They
powerfully stick together. This is why it is true to say that pure water will rid your
body of minerals, but only the inorganic rocks and sand that has built up inside of
you. Just as all the bugs, right from the microscopic virus and bacteria all the way up
to the large parasites as long as your leg have the opposite electrical charge and
pure water will magnetically rid the body of them.
I see every day in my job just how powerful pure water is at cleaning. It is so
magnetic and vacuums up all the dirt. This what happens in the human body when
you loop your orin, it takes it to the liver and then expels it out with the waste. So
the good clean blood can go on with all the good things to make your orin.
Key point to remember. Both distilled water from a machine or from your kidneys
absolutely can not rid the body of good living minerals. But they will powerfully rid
the body of any inorganic minerals and any foreign matter of the opposite electrical
charge.
The Death of Prejudice Is the Birth of the Chance to Heal
Fear about urine is conditioned and irrational. The following prejudices must be
overcome:
Urine is full of germs.
Urine is absolutely sterile and most of the urine that your body produces goes
back into the bloodstream anyway. Just think about this fact. If urine was full of
germs then why does your body put 90% back into the bloodstream? If you
choose to drink the 10% the body sends to your bladder, what you pee out that
is exactly the same as what your body just put back into your blood stream
anyway.
Urine smells
After a while the uric acid in urine changes into ammonia, and only then does the
urine start to smell. However, the smell will evaporate completely if the urine
gets absorbed into the skin, or any organic surface. Yes it will smell just like old
milk does if it's spilt onto an inorganic surface. Urine is liquid you, or liquid meat
if you like. Yes meat or milk will smell bad if they are left for a long time. The fact
that old milk or old meat smells bad does not stop people consuming new fresh
good quality meat or milk.Urine is a waste product
How can it make sense to reintroduce into the body a fluid that it just has
expended considerable effort to eliminate? A short and simple explanation: Urine
comprises the sum of all the experiences that the body has had (much as our
individual personalities comprise the sum of our experience). Records of
disturbances, infections, diseases, and allergies are stored within our urine. If we
confront our immune system with this information for a second time, we
stimulate the construction of a (finally) effective defence. Urine therefore
teaches the immune system a lesson. Just the same as immunisations teach the

As you can see, self-care goes far beyond eating our
vegetables and signing up for the gym. It amounts to a new
model for success and happiness, a model that abundant
medical evidence suppor ts. I’ll say more about that as we
proceed. There’s a reason for giving these general
principles ﬁrst. In a world where massive  attention is given
to the next fad diet, the gym-honed body, and the beauty of
youth, the truth is that a shift in consciousness produces
far greater beneﬁts.
Getting peop le to turn inward is an important aspect, but
they have to know why. What Quantum Healing  aimed at
was far more radical: seeing yourself in a new way, as a
child of the universe. On the basis  of that realization, self-
care cannot help but begin at the source, where your
consciousness merges with cosmic consciousness. You can’t
truly value yourself until this happens, and then self-care is
like caring for Nature itself.
OceanofPDF.comCounting the number of cells in the human body is no
easier than counting the number of people in the world, but
the accepted  estimate is 50 trillion, or about 10,000 times
the Earth’s present population. Isolated and placed under a
microscope, the various kinds of cells—heart, liver, brain,
kidney, et cetera—look rather alike to the untrained eye. A
cell is basically a bag, enclosed by an outer membrane, the
cell wall, and ﬁlled with a mixture of water and swirling
chemicals. At the cente r of all but the red blood cells is a
core, the nucleus, which safeguards the tightly  twisted
coils of DNA. If you hold a speck of liver tissue on your
ﬁngertip, it looks like calf’s liver; you would be hard-
pressed to discern that it is speciﬁcally human. Even a
skilled geneticist would detect only a 2 percent diﬀerence
between our DNA and a gorilla’s. Of the liver cell’s many
functions, over ﬁve hundred at latest count, you would not
have a clue simply by looking at it.
As clouded as the mind-body issue has become, one thing
is indisputable: somehow human cells have evolved to a
state of formidable intelligence. At any one time, thenumber of activities being coordinated in our bodies is
quite literally inﬁnite. Like the Earth’s ecosystems, our
physiology appears to operate in separate comp artments
that in fact are invisibly connected: we eat, breathe, talk,
think, digest our food, ﬁght oﬀ infections, purify our blood
of toxins, renew our cells, discard wastes, vote for
Republicans, and much more besides. Each of these
activities weaves its way into the fabric of the whole. (Our
ecology is more plane tlike than most people  realize.
Creatures roam our surface, as unmindful of our hugeness
as we are of their minuteness. Colonies of mites, for
example, spend their entire life cycle in our eyelashes.)
Within the body’s vast array, the functions of any single
cell—such as one of the 15 billion neurons in the brain—ﬁll
a good-sized medical text. The volumes  devoted to any one
system of the body, such as the immune system or the
nervous system, take up several shelves in a medical
library.
The healing mechanism resides somewhere in this overall
complexity, but it is elusive. There is no one organ of
healing. How does the body know what to do when it is
damaged, then? Medicine has no simple answer. Any one of
the processes involved in healing a superﬁcial cut—the
clotting of the blood, for example—is incredibly complex, so
much so that if the mechanism fails, as it does with
hemophiliacs, advanced scientiﬁc medicine is at a loss to
duplicate the impaired function. A doctor can prescribe
drugs that replace the missing clotting factor in the blood,
but these are temporary, artiﬁcial, and have numerous
undesirable side eﬀects. The body’s perfect timin g will be
absent, as well as the superb coordination of a dozen
related processes. By comparison, a man-made drug is a
stranger in a land where everyone else is blood kin. It can
never share the knowledge that everyone else was born
with.The body, we must admit, has a mind of its own. Once we
understand this mysterious aspect of our basic nature, then
the miraculous nature of curing cancer should disappear.
Everyone’s body knows how to heal a cut, yet apparently
only a few people have  bodies that know how to cure
cancer.
—
Every doctor realizes that it is nature who cures disease, a
statement ﬁrst written by Hippocrates two thousand years
ago. What is the diﬀerence, then, between natur e’s
ordinary form of healing and unusual or “miraculous”
healing? Perhaps the diﬀerence is small and exists only in
our heads. If you are peeling potatoes and cut your ﬁnger
with a slip of the knife, the cut heals by itself, and obviously
you are not wonder-struck, because the process of healing
—the clotting of the blood to close the wound, the
formation of a scab, and the regeneration of new skin and
blood vessels—seems altogether normal.
Yet, we should be aware that this feeling of normalcy is
not the same as knowing what healing is or how to control
it. It is sobering to consider  how much of the knowle dge in
medical books pertains not to life but to death. By
performing autopsies on cadavers, examining tissue slides
under a microscope, and analyzing blood, urine, and other
isolated by-products of the body, the majority of medical
knowledge has been obtained. True, patients are examin ed
when they are alive, and tests can be run on many isolated
functions in their bodies. But the knowledge so acquired is
rudimentary compared to the volumes of super-
sophisticated data devoted to death. The poet Wordsworth
wrote this memorably terse line: “We murder to dissect.”
No truer statement has ever been made about the
limitations of medical research.The ﬁrst thing that is killed in the laboratory  is the
delicate web of intelligence that binds the body together.
When a blood cell rushes to a wound site and begins to
form a clot, it has not traveled there at random. It actually
knows where  to go and what to do when it gets there, as
surely as a paramedic—i n fact, more surely, since it acts
completely spontaneously and without guesswork. Even if
we break down its know ledge into ﬁner and ﬁner bits,
looking for the secret in some minute hormone or
messenger enzyme, we will not ﬁnd a protein strand
labeled “intelligence,” and yet there is no doubt that
intelligence is at work.
Part of this intelligence devotes itself to healing, and it
seems to be a very powerful force. Every fatal disease has
its mysterious survivors, not just cancer. Although I know of
no spontane ous cures of AIDS, there are long-term
survivors—those who remain alive after ﬁve years—whose
immune systems have somehow defended themselves
against a disease that under normal conditions is totally
devastating. Researchers tend to approach such
extraordinary physiologie s as biochemical freaks of nature.
By taking samples of their blood and isolating any unusual
components that can be detected in the immune cells,
molecular biologists hope to discover the unknown
ingredient that is protecting these people. If that can be
accomplished—it is an extremely tedious, diﬀicult task,
given the complexity of the immune system—then after
years of testing and millions of dollars, a new drug may
emerge that can beneﬁt the population as a whole.
Yet, what everyone really  needs is the ability to make this
wonder drug himself, just as the person who ﬁrst produced
it did, and that ability cannot be synthesized. Isn’t buying
the drug as good as making it? Not by a long shot. The so-
called active ingredient in a man-made drug contains very
little know-how compared to the original chemicalproduced by the body. It would almost be fairer to call the
drug an inert ingredient.
The reason for this lies at the level of our cells. The outer
membrane of each cell, or the cell wall, is outﬁtted with
numerous sites called receptors. The cell wall itself is
smooth, but these receptors are “sticky”—they are made of
complex molecular chains whose last links are open-ended,
each one waiting for another molecule to come along and
bind with it. In other words, receptors are like keyholes
into which only very speciﬁc keys will ﬁt. For a drug to

Of	course,	no	one	would	claim	that	going	out	and	baking	in	the	sun	is	good	for

While	you	have	to	be	very	careful	about	how	and	where	you	engage	in	sun

Robyn	Lucas,	an	epidemiologist	at

concluded	that	far	more	lives	are	lost	to	diseases	caused	by	a

	of	sunlight
than	to	those	caused	by	too	much.
1
	There	are	many	health	and	beauty
benefits
to	limited	sun	exposure,	including	the	following.
ENDORPHIN	AND
HORMONE	PRODUCTION
Just	being	around	sunlight—even	if	you’re	not	directly	exposed	to	it—can	help
improve	your	mood	by	causing	your	body	to	synthesize	“feel	good”	endorphins
and	hormones	such	as	serotonin.	This	can	be	as	simple	as	gazing	out	of	a
window	into	the	natural	light	while	eating	lunch	or	working	on	a	laptop
(though	you	won’t
absorb
vitamin	D	through	glass).	A	lack	of	sun	exposure	can
cause	a	melatonin	imbalance	and	lead	to	seasonal	affective	disorder	(SAD),	a
form	of	depression	caused	by	a	deficiency	of	natural	sunlight	during	the	winter
months.	This	is	a	very	real	issue	for	those	in	certain	environments	that	don’t
have	enough	sunlight,	and	it	demonstrates	how	important	natural	elementssuch	as	the	sun	are	to	our	beauty	and	well-being.	As	we	mentioned	in
Pillar	3
,
Peak	Beauty	Sleep,	it’s	critical	to	have	a	healthy	amount	of	daylight	to	balance
the	night.	Your	pineal	gland	produces	melatonin	based	on	the	contrast	of
bright	sun	exposure	in	the	day	and	complete	darkness	at	night.
2
	If	you	don’t
have	enough	exposure	to	daylight	during	the	day,	your	body	can’t	appreciate
the	difference	and	will	not	optimize	your	melatonin	production,	which	is
important	to	regulate	healthy	beauty	sleep	cycles.
3
VITAMIN	D	SYNTHESIS	AND
IMMUNE	BOOST
Sunlight	helps	your	skin	synthesize	vitamin	D,	which	makes	it	possible	to
absorb	calcium.	Vitamin	D	also	helps	with	skin	issues	like	psoriasis,	and	boosts
your	immunity	so	you	can	better	fight	infections	such	as	colds	and	the	flu.
Some	researchers	believe	it	may	even	help	protect	against	the	development	of
some
cancer	cells.
4
	Vitamin	D	is	really	a	hormone	and	not	a	vitamin,	and	it	has
been	shown	in	some	research	to	help	increase	testosterone	levels	in	men
5
	and
regulate	estrogen	and	progesterone	levels	in	women.
6
	This	assistance	in
balancing	hormones	is	another	huge	benefit	of	sun	exposure.	Though	you	can
supplement	with	vitamin	D,	it’s	preferable	and	more	reliable	to	get	vitamin	D
through	moderate	sunlight	exposure	whenever	possible.
IMPROVED
CIRCULATION	AND
METABOLISM
The	sun	is	good	for	blood	circulation,	which,	as	we	discussed	earlier,	is
important	to	ensure	the	optimal	distribution	of	beauty	nutrients	throughout
your	entire	body,	and	some	research	is	even	linking	sunlight	exposure	to	a
boost	in	metabolism.

POSSIBLE	PREVENTION	OF
HEART	DISEASE	AND	CANCER
New	research	out	of	the
Journal	of	Investigative	Dermatology
	has	found	that	when
sunlight	touches	the	skin,	a	compound	called	nitric	oxide,	which	helps	lower
blood	pressure,	is	released	into	the	blood	vessels.
8
	Head	researcher
Richard
Weller	and	his	colleagues	state,	“We	are	concerned	that	well-meaning	advice	to
reduce	the	comparatively	low	numbers	of	deaths	from	skin	cancer	may
inadvertently	increase	the	risk	of	death	from	far	higher	prevalent	cardiovascular
disease	and	stroke,	and	goes	against	epidemiological	data
9
,
10
	showing	that
sunlight	exposure	reduces	all-cause	and	cardiovascular	mortality.”
11
	The
researchers	noted	that	for	every	person	who	succumbed	to	skin	cancer,	about
sixty	to	one	hundred	people	succumb	to	stroke	and	heart	disease	linked	to	high
blood	pressure.	This	translates	to	eighty	times	more	people	dying	ofcardiovascular	disease	than	skin	cancer.
A	study	published	in	the	journal
Cancer
,	as	well	as	a	systematic	review
published	in	the
European	Journal	of	Cancer
,	found	that	insufficient	exposure	to
sunlight	can	be	a	risk	factor	for	cancer	in	western	Europe	and	North	America,
and	the	malignancies	that	showed	the	greatest	increase	with	inadequate
exposure	to	sunlight	were	reproductive	and	digestive	cancers,	namely	breast,

13. PHYSICAL STRENGTH AND RESISTANCE TO INJURY
   Sir Edmund Hillary has recently reported from his travels in the mountains of
primitive Nepal that he found young native women acting as baggage carriers in that
roadless country who regularly carried 80 pounds fifteen miles a day, and these girls
only weighed 85 or 90 pounds themselves. Our forefathers had the strength to reap great fields of grain with hand scythes, and to hand saw timber twelve hours a day.
What modern industrial population in the western world could do these things?
   Nowadays it is common for young men to die from trivial athletic injuries, for
people to suffer broken bones and torn ligaments from minor falls, and for employers
to be sued for huge damages by workers suffering serious disabilities caused by trivial
accidents. Throughout the western industrialized world labor is becoming steadily less
productive, and we are being left behind in competition by eastern countries where bread and other stale foods  are not used as much. We have come to be a sickly, frail,
and fragile people, with thin weak bones and flabby muscles.
   This is deterioration due to food, not degeneration of our bloodlines. It is a part of
the awful penalty we are paying for eating stale deteriorated food.
   Properly fed people have the strength and energy to enjoy and take an interest in a
good day's work, and not be forever feeling miserable and put upon by their
employer. Their bodies are tough and resilient, so that they can spring up from a fall
with a laugh rather than suffering broken bones, and when they do get hurt they have
a better chance to rapidly recover. Fresh food builds the tireless bodies and quick
brains required to increase production and reduce costs.

14. FATTY RUBBISH AND FILTH IN FLOUR
   Scientists connected with the flour industry have for many years been publishing
articles in trade journals not seen by the general public which describe in detail the
deteriorated fatty materials and filth found in flour. According to these articles, the
wheat grain from which flour is made has a deep fold or groove on one side going more than half way through the grain. This fold contains dirt, filth and microbes in
such a secluded position that the grain cannot be thoroughly cleaned. Additionally, by
the time grain reaches the mills, it is vermin infested and contains insects, and droppings urine and hair from rats and mice. Many insects, grubs and their droppings are inside the wheat grains, so cannot be separated out easily. The mills do what they can to clean the grain, but flour is such a cheap and competitive product that they
cannot afford to do very much and some of the filth goes on through the mill with the
grain and is ground up into the flour. The flour experts have written that microscopic
examination of flour commonly reveals ground up fragments of insects and rat hair,
and traces of rat dung and urine. Bacteriological tests of flour have indicated an extremely high content of microbes. Flour is thus by the reports of the industry's own
experts a highly contaminated filthy material, the like of which is not to be found in the whole food industry.
   The experts have also described in gr eat detail how wheat grain contains 3% or
more of oily fatty materials, including sitosterol which is closely similar to cholesterol, and how it is desirable that the resulting fatty content of the flour be in an
oxidized, hardened and dried out form so that the bread will rise higher and make
more loaves per sack of flour. They call this the "baking quality" of the flour, but it
does not improve the eating quality, only cheapening the bread. Long ago, drying out
of the flour oil was done by storing the flour to "age" it before baking, but nowadays the mills add oxidizing chemicals called "maturing" or "improving" agents to the flour so this hardening of the oils is accomplished rapidly by artificial means. Flour is usually made from cheap run-of-the-trade wheat, often wheat which has been stored
for many years as crop surplus, and consequently is very stale.
   I have found that these hardened oils and other similar hardened materials in flour
are the worst source of the fatty rubbish  which causes arteriosclerosis, and this
rubbish is further hardened by the baking process like baked enamel paint, so it remains lodged in our arteries after we eat bread and other flour products. The
condition that makes fatty rubbish from flour so much more dangerous than any other
food is its finely ground form, so fine that it can slip through the walls of our
intestines with the food stream and get into our blood very easily, whereas if it were coarser most of it would pass on out of the body with little harm.
   The most recent findings for this sixth edition have shown that even coarse flour, home-made flour,
stone-ground flour, whole wheat flour, oatmeal, farina, grits, cornmeal, even rice, processed grains of any and every kind, contain considerable fatty rubbish and cause choked arteries in varying degree.
Some people have been using their own home mills to grind their own flour, and say they have had
some improvement, however where a person is trying to reduce very high blood pressure or avoid a surgical operation for choked arteries, the best thing to do is completely avoid flour and meal of any
and every kind, even homemade. Potatoes are a good s ubstitute for bread, and it has been found there is
no real problem in getting used to doing without bread.
    Since some people have notions about bread and flour being the indispensable "Staff of life" and so
forth, we should look at the true facts. Bread and flour as we know them were developed in the Middle
East only a few thousand years ago, and have become popular mostly in the industrialized nations.
(Ref. "Flour for Man's Bread" by Storck & Teague, pub. 1952 by Univ. of Minn.) However, bread was
not adopted everywhere, for even today there are many parts of the world where the use of bread is mostly limited to the cities, notably in the Far East, tropical Africa and South America. Since there are
millions of happy well-fed people living today who do not eat flour or bread, it is very clear that it is
not necessary.

   Ready-to-eat cereals are made of finely ground flour and various other grains, so
must be considered stale food.

15. BRAN IN FLOUR AND CEREALS
   Bran is the brown outer coating of the wheat grain, and is a sort of Jekyll and Hyde
material. On the one hand it contains some worthwhile vitamins and protective
materials, but on the other it contains toxic substances which irritate the intestines,
produce stomach pains and diarrhea and have even been known to kill young children and baby animals. Bran occurs to some degree even in white flour as fine particles,
and gives whole wheat flour the brown color.
   Wheat grains can lie buried in the soil for several years and finally sprout, showing
the extremely durable and toxic properties of the bran coating in warding off soil
microbes. Bran is extremely durable and resistant to breakdown by organic action. For
this reason it can in finely ground form fall in the same class as fatty rubbish and play
a minor role in forming arteriosclerotic deposits. There are indications that yellow brown pigments from bran form accumulations in the body and have some bearing on
skin blemishes and the discoloration of old age.

16. QUALITY OF MEAT AND EGGS
   The flavor and health-giving power of these products and milk as well depend
greatly on how the producing livestock were cared for and fed. One can no more get
strength and health by eating products from run-down vitamin-deficient livestock than
borrow money from a pauper, for if the animal's body does not contain the necessary substances required to be healthy, it can not possibly give them to the human
consumer. It has been known for centuries that humans living on the products of poorly fed animals become weak and sickly.
   The eating quality of animal products due to feed alone can vary over a great range,
and the nutritional merits and freedom from fatty rubbish go hand in hand with the
eating quality. This is not surprising, for after all it is hardly possible to build a high quality product with shoddy materials.
   Nowadays most beef cattle, hogs, and chickens are fattened under confinement
feeding practices in which they are shut up in lots, pens, or cages and fed entirely upon stale stored feeds such as finely ground and pelletized grains, industrial by-
products, hay, and silage. These stale feeds contain large quantities of fatty rubbish
and the high quality health giving nutrients are mostly unavailable. Animals fed in
this way grow fast and become fat, but their disease resistance is low, and a great
many would sicken and die except for the anti-biotics and other drugs put in the feeds. In this way, animals can be cheaply raised, but the health giving power of their
products is low. The authorities have studied  the likelihood of drugs in the feed being
carried over into human food, but have overlooked the most important aspect, which is that the livestock products produced on drugged feeds often do not contain the
natural substances necessary to maintain health in the human consumer. It would be
better for the public if drugs were not used in livestock production so that the farmers
would have to feed the stock properly and


 busy for a very long time. I loved what we
were doing, and we were obv iously very good at it. Our
revenues had reached ten million dollars a year, and
since most of that was royalty payments, we were
profiting five to six million a year. The Medical Manager
itself was more than fifteen years old by then, and it was
touching the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. In
my limited view of things, I saw us going on like this for
the foreseeable future.
The first clue that dramatic c hange was once again on
the horizon came when I learned that Systems Plus andmany of the dealers were discussing the possibility of
merging toget her into one c ompany. Apparently, they
felt this  would  help them com pete better at the national
level. S oon afterward, I received a visit from one of our
larger d ealers, John Kang, who was headquartered in
Tampa. He informed me that he had been working on a
proposal to consolidate the Medical Manager dealers
into a combin ed company. He laid out his plan of
initially purchasing Personalized Programming, Systems
Plus, and three or four of the larger dealerships. He
explained that it would take a large initial investment,
but he already had that lined up. John’s presentation was
very professional, but I didn’t see why Personalized
Programming had to be involved. I told him that I would
be willing to legally commit to providing The Medical
Manager software to the new company. He then dropped
the bombshell : any investors in the company would
insist that the foundational software be owned by the
company itself.
I was very uncomfortable with the thought of selling
Personalized Programming.  But I was even more
uncomfortable thinking that I would be the reason that
all these hundreds of dealers, and Systems Plus, were
unable to get their hard-earned value from their
businesses. I told John I was not interested in selling the
business at any price, but if my reluctance was truly in
the way  of everyone else’s dr eams, I would have to give
his proposal some consideration. I told him he could
come back to s ee me if he succeeded in getting others to
buy in to his p lan. What I w as really hoping, however,
was that the whole thing would just fall through by itself.
John returned a few weeks later having obtained buy-
in from  some of our largest dealers as well as Systems
Plus. The handwriting wa s on the wall—this was
becoming like all the previou s times I had to put aside
my strong personal preferences and surrender to what
was ma nifesting before me. I didn’t like it one bit, but Iwas fully committed to seeing where the path of
surrender to life was going to lead me.
John Kang made me a persuasive offer for
Personalized P rogramming t hat included both cash and
stock in the n ew company. He then set out on the
difficult journey of merging five businesses into one and
raising the funds needed to  pull the merger off. The
bankers decide d it would be  best to raise the necessary
$150 million by selling shares of the new company
publicly. The date for an initial public offering (IPO) was
set for early 1997, but a lot of work still needed to be
done.
What a world to be thrown into. Personalized
Programming had grown g radually from its humble
roots of one employee—me. It was now a very well
organized, highly successful private company. This level
of orga nization was not going to exist when a bunch of
independently run businesses first get thrown into a pot
together. There were going to be the expected power
struggles, deal er acquisition  issues, and constant legal
and financial issues to be ironed out. Nonetheless, I
didn’t allow myself to get cau ght up in all those negative
thoughts. I just remained open and completely intrigued
by what was unfolding.
It was decided  that the new company would be called
Medical Manager Corporation. I must admit, I liked that.
I flashed back to 1981 when I was finishing the software
and firs t came up with the name “The Medical Manager.”
Fifteen years later, Medical Manager was now going to
become a public company. Standing at the threshold of
this major event, I was total ly in awe seeing where my
experiment with surrender had managed to lead me.4 4.
M e d i c a l  M a n a g e r  C o r p o r a t i o n — M M G R
W hen the smoke cleared, I was to be the chief executive
officer (CEO); John Kang, the president; and Rick Karl,
the general counsel. Corporate headquarters would be
established in Tampa at John Kang’s facilities, and Rick
Karl and I wo uld work out of the Alachua offices. The
company would trade on the NASDAQ exchange under
the symbol MMGR.
As we headed  toward the e nd of 1996, the cadre of
lawyers and bankers was finishing up all the paperwork
to m erge the companies together and simultaneously do
the IPO. I remember that this  was an interesting time for
me in my relationship with my dad. My father had been a
stockbroker m ost of his life, and he had been working at
Merrill Lynch for more than thirty years. His only son
had dro pped out of graduate school in business to live in
the woods and meditate. I ne ver left the woods, yet all of
a sudden I was in my dad’s world. He kept telling me that
he just couldn’t believe that Morgan Stanley, one of the
premiere brok erage houses in the world, was interested
in m y company. He was also  surprised to find out that
Merrill Lynch’s health-care analyst was closely
monitoring our upcoming transaction. My dad was very
interested that my company was going public, and we
talked to each other more during this time than we had
for the previous twenty years put together. It makes
sense—we now had something in common to talk about.
I was humbled by this opportunity to get closer to my
father. I  saw it as just another miraculous thing that had
happened as I surrendered t o the flow of life. It wasn’ttoo muc h later  when my dad died. But you can be sure he
enjoyed being able to give his son his lifetime-learned
advice about becoming a public company, the health-
care sector, and Wall Street in general.
Despite the amazing sequenc e of events that led up to
this point, nothing could have prepared me for what
happened next. A week or so before the IPO, I received a
list of action it ems from my New York attorney. One by
one I worked through the list, signing required
documents and locating required paperwork. The final
item wa s due the next day, so  I rushed down to my bank
to acces s my safety deposit box. I rarely had reason to
touch th is box I had rented b ack in 1971 to store my only
possession—the deed for my original ten acres.
Once I was le ft alone with the storage box, I began
looking for the document my attorney had requested.
There wasn’t much in the bo x, but what was there had
the effect of a time machine. I came across the original
deed on my property—how much had happened since
then. N o one in their right mind could have imagined the
flow of events that unfolded since I decided to drop out
and live in t he woods. My trip back in time was
interrupted when I came upon the document I was
looking for. I pulled out the trifolded piece of paper and
opened it up. It was the Personalized Programming stock
certificate sent to me when I incorporated the company
fifteen years earlier. When I had originally dropped the
certificate in my deposit box, it was pretty much
worthless to anyone but me. Then it hit me like a ton of
bricks. The most savvy investors in the world were
valuing this piece of paper at over a hundred million
dollars.
My mouth went dry, and tears welled up in my eyes. I
had given everything up, and it kept coming back
tenfold. When I had decided to let go and devote my life
to s erving what was unfold ing in front of me, I was
earning less than five thousand dollars a year. WhenBuilt with Love came together, it grew from tens of
thousands to hundreds of th ousands in revenue. When
Personalized P rogramming came together, it quickly
grew to millions and then mo re than ten million in sales
and royalties. Now I was dealing with a hundred-million-
dollar asset. It wasn’t the mo ney that moved me; it was
the invisible hand of life that blew me away. I stood there
in the bank and offered that piece of paper back to the
universe from whence it had  come. I vowed to serve the
company I had watched life build, brick by brick, and to
use the money entrusted to m e in a way that would help
others. I took a deep breath, closed the deposit box, and
prepared to ship the stock certificate up to New York.4 5.

. This results in the
over-working of the immune system. Most of the tissues responsible for the
production of immune cells in cancer patients, especially the thymus gland
(where T-cells are produced) and the bone marrow (where B-cell production
takes place), become hypoactive.
A HEALTHY LYMPH SYSTEM IS ESSENTIAL

With all of this in mind, it becomes vital that you understand your lymphatic
system. I have discussed this “sewer system of the body” in some detail in
Chapter 2
. Your lymphatic system is where ninety percent of all disease
processes begin. When this highway system is congested and cannot
eliminate well, it backs up the whole “sewer system” of the body, causing a
lack of or improper elimination of cellular/metabolic wastes (acids), as well as
toxic chemicals and metals that have been ingested. These toxins must be
eliminated or cellular death will result.
Your lymph system is a vital part of your immune system. To enhance
your immune system,
clean out your lymphatic system first. Remember, your
kidneys, colon and skin are the exit doors of your lymphatic system. If your
septic system is obstructed or full, you don’t remove it, you clean it out. Most
people have lost proper kidney filtration. Their intestinal bowel walls are
impacted, and many don’t sweat well. This means that their doors are partly
closed in allowing their sewage or wastes to be properly eliminated. This then
backs up the lymphatic system and enlarges the lymph nodes. When this goes
on for many years, you will see all types of lymphomas, non-estrogen types
of breast cancer, throat cancer (especially when the tonsils have been
removed), and neck, colon, kidney, liver and many other cancers.
Family Support
Over the past thirty years I have witnessed thousands of cancer patients gothrough our program and other programs, in Mexico and other countries. A
big factor in recovery is the support of friends and family members.
Some people act as if they are sleeping through life, totally conditioned and
controlled by society in their thinking and reacting. Some, thank goodness,
are a little more open and aware of God and the unconditioned or
uncontrolled levels of awareness. Many people are afraid of what they don’t
know or haven’t learned or experienced. I have seen many family members
ridicule their loved ones for using natural health as a means of getting well. I
have seen them constantly tempting their loved ones with food and snacks
that they know are bad for them. I have seen friends do exactly the same
thing.
This type of ridicule or disregard comes from unawareness and a lack of
understanding of the importance of their loved one’s or friend’s need to get
well, and the consequences if they don’t. Many family members have actually
helped to kill their mates or children by stopping them from using natural
healing as one of the only true ways to get well.
Be strong about your decisions regarding health. One of the most important
factors in getting well is your strength and self-discipline. Spend time by
yourself. Getto know who you are. Become strong within yourself. This is
your
 road to health, no one else’s. This will allow you to be strong with your
friends and loved ones. Teach them what you have learned, as everyone
needs to get well.
Remember, most people ignore their health problems until it is too late. Don’t
be one of them. Get yourself well and healthy now, and be an inspiration to
others.

This is why detoxification is essential in the elimination of cancer. By
alkalizing and cleansing your tissues and fluids, your cells will begin to
strengthen, and the sludge of toxins that snuff the life out of your cells will be
gone. This then brings a tremendous joy, energy, and vitality.
Out of 100 clients who came to our clinic and followed a detoxification
regimen, 80 were able to eliminate their cancers. I know of no better way to
heal, clean and rebuild the body than through detoxification and regeneration
of its cells, through diet and herbs. If you take
responsibility for your health
and open your heart, it is unbelievable what you can accomplish. Don’t allow
anybody to tell you that there is nothing that can be done. We’ve had
individuals who were given only one day or even hours to live who pulledthemselves back. In the last thirty years I have seen some amazing results in
regeneration. Never compromise your immune system or let anyone destroy
it. And most importantly, do not have your lymph nodes removed. The
consequences can be devastating. Don’t treat, regenerate!
MODULE 5.6
Neurological Disorders and Injuries

It saddens me to see so many quadriplegics and paraplegics in this world with
supposedly no help. Nothing could be further from the truth. My first tough
case was a thirty-four-year-old female who had a spinal injury at the C3-C4
level. At the time of the accident she had a complete spinal severation. This
accident occurred when she was twelve years old, and left her with only
movement of her head. She had immense spasms and was in extreme pain. It
took me eleven months, but this young lady went from severe degeneration
throughout her body (she could only move her wheelchair by a tongue-
operated control) to the ability to shake your hand and lift either leg as many
times as you wanted her to. She could “feel” from head to toe.
Another case involved a man in his early twenties who had a C4-C5 level
injury. He had been paralyzed from his upper body down to his feet for two
years. Within six months on our program his nerve response was helping him
to move his feet and he could stool on his own. This was quite significant, as
quadriplegics and most paraplegics lose their ability to have a bowel
movement on their own. This greatly backs up the body’s lymphatic system
causing cell auto-intoxication.
In our arrogance and blindness we humans overlook the truth that is
always right in front of our faces. If the body can miraculously repair itself in
ways such as broken bones, deep cuts, re-growth of various gland and
tissues, then why can’t it repair nerves? Well it can, but not on cooked, dead
foods, and foods that make the body’s pH acidic.
Neurons are the highest energy centers in the body. Not only do they
require an alkaline “soil” to regenerate in, they require the highest energy
foods—fruits. Fructose is a high-energy simple sugar, which lends its energy
effortlessly to your cells. This holds true in all neurological issues including
multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, Bell’s palsy and even asthma. Note that all ofthese neurological weaknesses have an adrenal weakness as a precursor.
In all neurological issues, including injuries, it is vital that the adrenal
glands be enhanced along with the rest of the endocrine gland system. It is
also vital to live on a 100 percent raw food diet. I had a forty-year-old female
brought to me one time with advanced multiple sclerosis. They brought her
lying on a stretcher, completely rigid. After three months on a fruit diet she
could sit up, feed herself, and even mobilize her own wheelchair. Since she
was so thin and small I needed to encourage her body to produce more
muscle tissue, so I started her on vegetable juices and salads, as these foods
are full of amino acids. Guess what? She lost her mobility temporarily. Why?
The answer can be found in the difference between the electrical charge
of a
fruit versus that of a vegetable. When I put her on a diet of fruits alone she
began to regain strength. The power that raw foods have to revitalize the
physical body is almost unlimited. I’ve seen the body pull itself back from
some pretty precarious edges. It took a while for this young lady to
regenerate herself, but with such a degenerative condition it would naturally
take a significant time to turn the body around. A predominately fruit diet
was essential to maintain nerve response.
It is important to realize here that your body cannot regenerate itself with
toxic chemicals. Toxic chemicals are seen as invading foreign proteins that
will only serve to further acidify your tissues, creating further damage, and
constant inflammatory immune responses that have to be treated with steroids
—causing a vicious circle. Electrical stimulation is not the answer either.
People dance around the truth refusing to embrace it. Money is generally the
motivating factor. Because of greed, people would rather create
moneymaking “treatment” systems (like illness-care institutions, drugs,
surgeries) than learn the underlying truth about disease.
THE SAME ANSWER—ALKALIZE

Strengthen every cell in your body through diet and herbs. Remember
Alkalize, Alkalize, Alkalize! It is the only way. I also recommend a high
quality, herbal, brain and nerve formula to further strengthen the spinal
column, nerve centers and brain tissue. Also it is essential to enhance the
adrenal glands. This is where a great many of the body’s neurotransmitters
and steroids are created.
Another consideration in neurological disorders and injuries is thethyroid/parathyroid. The parathyroid hormone is necessary for proper
calcium utilization. You can find out how well your system is working by
taking the Basal Temperature Test (see
