Grandma. The	baby	is	gorgeous,	the	mother	is	ecstatic,	and	the	grandma’s
pretty	cool	herself. Or	so	I	saw,	and	so	I	pray. Dear	God,
Please	take	care	of	my	precious	child
as	her	path	now	leads	her	away	from	me. May	angels	surround	her,
and	may	she	find	her	way. May	my	love	for	her

while	back	singer/songwriter	Rupert	Holmes	had	a	hit	song	about	a
married	couple	who	both	took	out	personal	ads,	trying	to	find	someone	who
wanted	more	adventure	than	was	offered	in	their	marriage. What	they	didn’t
know,	of	course—and	found	out	when	they	answered	each	other’s	ad. —was
that	both	of	them	wanted	to	do	more	exciting	things	than	they	were	in	the
habit	of	doing	together. Years	ago,	I	knew	a	man	whose	wife	died,	after	which	all	he	could	do	was
just	sit	there	crying,	“I	never	took	her	on	the	trips	she	wanted	to	take. I	didn’t
tell	her	often	enough	how	much	I	loved	her. There	are	so	many	things	I
should	have	done	with	her	and	didn’t…. ”	It	was	tragic	to	see	his	eyes	so	open
at	a	time	when	it	was	so	too	late. Many	people,	for	many	reasons,	resist	the	grand	adventure	that	love	can	be. It’s	one	of	those	brass	rings	that	is	often	right	in	front	of	us,	yet	we	don’t	grab
on. It’s	one	thing	when	we	just	don’t	feel	the	energy,	when	it’s	simply	not	the
right	person. But	sometimes	it
is
	the	right	person—there
is
	the	energy—but
we	don’t	give	the	relationship	the	time	or	space	or	attention	it	takes	to
cultivate	what’s	already	good	and	turn	it	into	something	great. Once	you’re	a	certain	age,	the	idea	of	wasting	any	opportunity—
particularly	the	opportunity	to	love—is	seen	as	the	blasphemy	it	is. You	might
as	well	just	spit	at	God	as	turn	away	from	the	chance	to	really	love. And	that’s
why	love	burns	brightly	at	midlife;	you’re	no	longer	under	the	delusion	that
the	sparks	that	are	flying	here	fly	along	every	day. A	friend	of	mine	said	to	me	once,	“I	used	to	be	so	afraid	of	committing	to	a
woman	for	the	rest	of	my	life	…	but	‘the	rest	of	my	life’	doesn’t	sound	like	so
long	anymore. ”
Many	of	us	have	wounds	that	keep	us	from	loving	fearlessly. And	fear,
while	rarely	justified,	is	often	understandable. Letting	go	of	fear	that	has
accumulated	over	many	years,	in	order	to	be	able	to	experience	the	love
standing	in	front	of	you	right	now—that	challenge	is	the	romantic	call	ofmidlife. Dear	God,
Please	melt
the	walls	in	front	of	my	heart. Remove	my	fear
and	restore	my	joy,
that	I	might	love	again. Amen
O
NE	OF	OUR	BIGGEST	FEARS,	OBVIOUSLY,	IS	THE	FEAR	OF	ABANDONMENT. Clearly,	it	hits	a
primal	wound	when	someone	whose	love	has	meant	so	much	to	us	then
changes	his	or	her	mind. Metaphysically,	what	happens	when	we	separate	from	a	beloved	is	that	we
reexperience	our	original	separation	from	God—or	at	least	the	illusion	that	we
could	ever
be
	separate. In	fact,	such	a	separation	would	be	so	shattering	to	the
entire	universe	that	the	universe	could	no	longer	exist	were	it	to	be	true. The
truth	is	that	our	oneness	with	God,	and	with	each	other,	is	a	fundamental,
unalterable	aspect	of	reality. Not	consciously	realizing	any	of	this,	we	displace	our	hunger	for	conscious
contact	with	God	onto	our	search	for	a	romantic	partner. Connection	with	a
lover	is	intoxicating	because	it	reminds	us	of	our	union	with	God;	separation
is	so	devastating	because	it	reminds	us	of	what	it	feels	to	be	separate	from
Him. And	a	terrible	catch-22	develops:	Feeling	separate	from	God,	I’m	more
hungry	for	you. But	also,	feeling	separate	from	Him,	I’m	not	in	a	whole	state. Being	not	in	a	whole	state,	I’m	fractured—and	thus	more	likely	to
blow
	it
with	you. So	it	is	that	love	can	be	hell. And	so	it	is	that	love	can	be	heaven. Both	are	worthy	of	investigation…. S

	who	then	piles	on	even	more	of	it. I	once	had	the	most	beautiful	romance,	or	at	least	I	thought	so. Then	one
day	it	was	simply	gone. I	had	heard	stories	of	people	suddenly	walking	out	on
their	families,	never	to	return. But	I	always	thought	there	must	be	more	to	itthan	that;	surely	it	wasn’t	that	simple. No	one	just	got	up	one	day	and	said,
“It’s	over,”	and	that	was	it. Or	so	I	believed	until	it	happened	to	me. I’m	one	of	those	people	who	needs	to
talk
…	to	process,	to	understand,	to
give	and	receive	forgiveness	if	nothing	else. But	some	people	find	all	that
talking	at	the	end	too	much	to	take. Or	perhaps	the	talking	might	expose	too
much. For	whatever	reason,	it	seems	better	for	them	to	surgically	remove	the
other	person	from	their	life,	burn	the	bridge	behind	them,	throw	a	bomb	into	a
beautiful	garden	that	could	have	been	a	friendship	that	lasted	a	lifetime. This	man	had	given	me	a	gift. With	him,	I’d	had	the	experience	of	a	love
that	didn’t	conflict	with	my	larger	sense	of	mission	for	my	life. For	once	there
seemed	to	be	no	competition,	no	split,	between	my	romantic	life	and	my
career. I	didn’t	feel	I	was	neglecting	one	in	order	to	best	serve	the	other,	and
for	me	that	was	new. Instead,	I	felt	his	love	like	a	raft	beneath	me,	on	which	I
could	just	lie	back	serenely. Often	before,	I	had	felt	as	though	the	different
elements	of	my	life	were	like	plates	clanging	against	each	other	in	a	too-

 undone at the time of
the death of some family member twenty years earlier,
for example, may now express itself as a heart attack. A thing has been handled when we feel at peace
and complete with it. It no longer recurs or brings up
pain when we think about it; we feel satisfied. There
may be regret about having to live through it, but some
how we come out on the other side of it as a different
kind of person, and with that knowledge, there is a
certain sense of peace that lets us know it has been
handled now. Catastrophic experiences are the seeds, the very
essence, of the ultimate spiritual experience. Within
it and following it to its very center core, totally walk
ing off the cliff in complete abandonment, the full
surrender to the experience is the very seed and
core of that which the spiritual seeker has been
searching for all along. With many catastrophic situations in ordinary life,
there is an incomplete resolution of the experiences,
along with a lack of awareness of the jewel-like qualities
and opportunities within the events. We are over
whelmed by the 'whatness' of them and look in the HANDLING MAJOR CRISES 255
wrong direction. The mind also gets a secret payoff
from negative emotions (e. g., attention, self-pity, drama)
plus indulgence in martyrdom, etc. Many times when drugs are introduced, altered
states of consciousness occur, and the person is taken
to the emergency room. What could be a crucial
spiritual discovery is covered over with a band-aid,
and the family tries to distract the person from the
spiritual work. The essential aspect of the spiritual benefit comes
from running directly into the experience. There is a
saying in Zen to "Walk straight ahead, no matter
what," so when this catastrophic experience comes, it
is beneficial to center oneself right into'the core of it,
say "yes" to it and experience it through. There have been catastrophic experiences in my
life when band-aids were available, and I refused to
accept them because by then I had learned the value
of experiencing them through. The band-aids really
prevent the experiencing through of what might be
called 'hitting bottom'. The concept of hitting bottom,
which is well known in handling many serious prob
lems, such as alcoholism, means to let go completely. In an acute catastrophic situation, the mind tries to
cling to that which is familiar. It tries escapism, distrac
tions, tranquilizers, drugs and alcohol, and various
other ways of trying to ameliorate the situation rather
than face it directly and work through it. The essence of a catastrophic situation is total
surrender to the discovery of that which is greater than
the personal self. The experiencing through completely
of a catastrophe brings us into a connection and a realHEALING AND RECOVERY 256
ization that there is something within ourself that has
the power to sustain, no matter how catastrophic the
experience appears to be. As a result, we come out on
the other side of it as a greater person with the aware
ness that there is something within, that there is a
Presence, a quality, or an aspect of life within that has
the power to sustain us through the most seemingly
impossible situations. If the catastrophic experience is not worked
through completely; there are certain residuals. It is like
we have only halfway fallen off the cliff. Some people
think they have walked off the cliff,but actually we
find that they were secretly crossing their fingers and
hanging onto some little outcropping or lifeline. The
abandonment to God was not really total, so a doubt
remains, and out of that doubt is the residual of, for
example, grief or fear of the experience. Ifwe do not
experience something greater than the personal self
when going through the experience, we may end up
with a limitation, a certain crippling, the inability to go
beyond a certain point, and the willingness to partici
pate becomes limited. The person says, "I would rather
live a limited life than face that kind of experience
again. I would rather never love again than to love and
10se. "The saying is, "'Tis better to have loved and lost,. than never to have loved at all:' The experiencing of
lOVingness puts us in touch with our Self, that which is
greater than our own limited, small self. The complete resolution brings us into conscious
contact with something that is greater than the personal
self. Many people who have tried this attest to the fact
that when they surrendered the small self to someHANDLING MAJOR CRISES 257
thing greater than themselves, they came into contact
with that which they considered to be'real'. That per
sonal inner experience of spiritual reality takes one
from book learning to a profound inner conviction. Out of this inner conviction comes the willingness to
re-enter life again, to participate in it, and to take the
risks and chances. What is the inner experience of hitting bottom. It
comes out of the feelings of hopelessness and despair;
the person's small self is saying,"I, of my own self, can
not handle this. " The person surrenders out of the
hopelessness, and from that comes the willingness to
let go, to surrender to something greater than oneself. At the very bottom, in the pits, one realizes and accepts
the truth that "I, of myself, my own individual personal
self, my own ego-self, am unable to handle this. I am
unable to resolve it. " It is out of this defeat that victory
and success arise. The phoenix rises out ofthe ashes of
despair and hopelessness. It is not the despair and
hopelessness that are of value but the letting go and
the realization of the limitation of the small self. In the
middle of the catastrophe, the person says,"I give up. I
cannot handle this," and then may consciously or
unconsciously ask God for help. Due to the law of free will and the nature of con
sciousness being what it is, it is said that the great
beings that are willing to help all of us are waiting for
us to say"yes:' It is the sudden turning from the bottom
of the barrel to the willingness to accept that there is
something greater than ourselves that we can turn to. When the person says, "If there is a God, I ask him to
help me," then the great transformative experiences 258 HEALING AND RECOVERY
happen that have been recorded throughout history
from the very beginning. The beginning of the great worldwide organization
of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) came out of such an
experience. Bill W, the famous founder of AA, had hit
bottom. He was in a state of total despair and hope
lessness and gave up the personal self. At the time, he
was a nonbeliever, but he said,"If there is a God, I ask
him to help me. " At that moment came a great trans
formative experience, the spiritual power ofwhich is
evidenced by the millions oflives that have been affected
by the energy that flowed out into the world as the
result of this man's sharing his spiritual experience. Obviously, letting go and hitting bottom are crucial. It is out of the awareness that we cannot change things
and are limited and powerless that we discover what
does have the power in the universe. That power
comes in and handles the experience, and we know
when that happens because of the profound state of
peace. Where there was agony, there is now a state of
infInite peace and an ineffable awareness of an InfInite
Presence. Historically, it has been a speCial occasion when a
realization of the truth has arisen, but that is not at all
necessary; it is only one type of experience. Actually,
this is the nature of spiritual work all the time. The per
son who is involved in spiritual work is always looking
at what is occurring in life, seeing it as the teacher, as
the grist for the mill. What is happening represents that
which is being worked on, so an acute catastrophe
would just be a continuation of the process that is
going on anyway. As a result, the person who is intensely HANDLING MAJOR CRISES 259
involved in spiritual work would then see it as a golden
opportunity, painful and regretful perhaps, but one of
great benefit. The essential nature ofspiritual work is to
remain focused on what arises from instant to instant
and become aware of'what'is experiencing andwhere
it is being experienced. There is a meditative and contemplative technique
that can be use to bring about the same result. It is the
process of constantly letting go of wanting to control
the experiencing as well as experiencing itself. There
then occurs the sudden realization that awareness is
being handled by some infinite aspect of conscious
ness (the Self); this may have been suspected previously
but not actually realized. After this realization, the. awareness of the Presence occurs more frequently. Out of this experience comes an ever greater will
ingness to rely on that inner Presence, with less and
less reliance on the small self. Less frequently, then,
does the person look to the small self to handle life's
problems, as there is a progressive willingness to
surrender to one's


 a week to ten days, a bone fracture will take many weeks, often even several months
to heal. As bone metastases are painful, the patient must remain determined and strong-minded,
knowing that the healing will take a long time. Open Breast Cancer Lesions:  While Dr. Gerson warned that cancers within glands are more
difficult to reach, generally breast cancer has responded well to the therapy over many years. The situation changes if and when the breast tumor breaks through the skin: open lesions leading
possibly to infections are much more difficult to heal, and require the best possible care and much Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.compatience. Leukemias:  There are several kinds of chronic leukemia, usually of the age-onset type,
which do not present special problems. However, the rapid-advance childhood leukemias must
be stopped rapidly. This is far from easy. For various reasons, such as difficulty in administering
the complete intensive Gerson Therapy, the child’s resistance or other external problems, the
effectiveness of the treatment is hampered and slowed down. When this happens, an acute
leukaemia can possibly advance too rapidly for the therapy to stop and reverse it. Multiple Myeloma:  Like leukemias, this condition does not belong in the class of solid
tumors. It is a disease of the bone marrow, with myeloma cells ‘forming multiple tumor masses.’
These infiltrate the surrounding bone, generally the blood-forming long bones of the upper leg,
but other parts of the skeleton as well. The disease occurs more frequently in men than in women, by a ratio of 3:1. Since it damages
the blood-forming bone marrow, it causes anemia and renal (kidney) lesions. As explained above,
it is always more difficult to heal bone lesions, and this also applies to Multiple Myeloma. It
takes longer, and—according to Dr. Gerson’s observations confirmed by the latest research on
this condition, it also requires more Vitamin B 12 than other kinds of cancer. Due to the invasion
of bone by Myeloma tissue, it is also possible for pathologic fractures (weakened bone breaking
without external cause) to occur. On the Gerson Therapy we have seen such fractures heal, very
slowly. Long Term Prednisone Treatment and/or Chemotherapy : All drugs are liver-toxic, hence
long-term use causes severe liver damage. Prednisone, a powerful steroid routinely prescribed
for Multiple Sclerosis, lupus, arthritis and many other conditions, depletes the body’s defenses
and causes considerable organ damage. If this damage becomes excessive due to long-term use,
it can be difficult or even impossible to truly heal, i.e., fully restore the liver and other essential
organs. Chemotherapy is much more toxic. While we have seen many reversals of chemo-treated
patients’ disease, beyond a certain point the damage caused by powerful chemotherapy is no
longer reversible. As a general rule, patients treated for lengthy periods with toxic drugs are more
difficult to heal than those who were treated for only a short time or, preferably, not at all. Diseases Not Curable by the Gerson Therapy:
The list of chronic degenerative diseases that are curable by the Gerson Therapy includes
some 1500 conditions. However, a very small number of diseases, mainly those affecting the
Central Nervous System, do not respond well, or not at all, to the nutritional healing approach. It
has to be understood that the Central Nervous System, comprising the brain and spinal cord, is Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.comso highly specialized that it does not replace lost tissue; for that reason it is almost impossible to
heal serious damage afflicting this area. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, A.L.S. :   This is also known as Motor Neuron Disease
(M.N.D. ), or popularly as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. While orthodox medicine considers its cause
unknown, in our experience all affected patients had had extensive exposure to pesticides. Interestingly, while we were able to obtain healthy young calves’ livers and produce liver juice for
the treatment of these patients, a number of them showed considerable improvement. Since liver
juice is no longer safe, owing to widespread campylobacter infection, A.L.S patients have made
little progress toward healing with the Gerson Therapy, although they deteriorate more slowly
than they would without it. We consider that a failure. Parkinson’s Disease, P.D. :   This belongs to a group of conditions called motor system
disorders, which result from the loss of dopamine-producing brain cells. The four primary
symptoms of PD are tremor, or trembling in hands, arms, legs, jaw and face; rigidity, or stiffness of
the limbs and trunk; bradykinesia, or slowness of movement; and postural instability, or impaired
balance and coordination. As these symptoms worsen, patients have difficulty in walking, talking,
or completing simple tasks. P.D. usually affects people over the age of 50, and is also known as paralysis agitans,  or
popularly as “shaking palsy.” The allopathic treatment normally uses dopamines and several
other drugs, which help the patient to function for a while, but do not cure the problem. The
Gerson Therapy has also failed to produce a cure. Alzheimer’s Disease:  Described as pre-senile dementia, this condition is caused by the
atrophy (wasting) of the frontal and occipital (rear) lobes of the brain. According to Taber’s
medical cyclopedia, it causes “progressive and irreversible deterioration of intellectual function,
apathy, speech and gait disturbance, disorientation and loss of memory.” In many cases it responds
reasonably well to the Gerson Therapy, which alleviates and/or much improves the most severe
symptoms. However, only brain cells that are diseased or damaged can be improved and even
restored. Those that are dead are gone, so the disease is not cured. Chronic Kidney Disease:  If this has advanced to the point of requiring dialysis, it cannot
be reversed. The specific function of the kidneys is to remove the waste products of protein
digestion (urea, uric acid, creatinine), as well as excess minerals (sodium, potassium) or other
toxic substances from the blood, in order to maintain homeostasis of the system. This is done via a
delicate filter system of structures, sacs, the glomeruli; if the latter lose their permeability through
inflammation and excess toxins and can no longer function, disease sets in. However, if disease has damaged kidney function by no more than 80% and 20% is still
active, the condition can be treated and patients can improve and survive. Yet kidney tissue,
similar to brain tissue (see above), when dead is gone. Therefore the kidney patient whose
condition has been improved on the Gerson protocol can never revert to a so-called “normal” Copyright © Charlotte Gerson, 2007. All rights reserved.

www.thegersonway.comaverage diet. The price of survival is to remain on the Gerson program for life. In brief, kidney
disease is treatable and can achieve long-term survival, but it is not curable. Once dialysis has
been started, normally when kidney function drops below 10%, the patient should NOT attempt
to go on the Gerson Therapy. Emphysema:  This is another disease that can be greatly alleviated, but not cured. Also
referred to as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,  emphysema causes changes in the structure
of the air sacs that filter out carbon dioxide for secretion, and allow oxygen to pass into the blood. Here the lung tissue is severely damaged by smoking, air pollution toxins or inflammation, so that
it loses its permeability and the exchange of gases is seriously inhibited. The sick tissue can be
restored; dead tissue is gone. The patient can probably function normally with only about 50% of
functioning lung tissue, but he or she cannot be fully restored. Muscular Dystrophy:  Thought to be a familial (genetic) disease, this condition causes
progressive atrophy (wasting away) of muscles and usually starts in childhood, more frequently in
boys than in girls. The underlying cause is described as “A disorder caused by defective nutrition
or metabolism” (Taber). In Dr. Gerson’s day it responded favorably to his treatment, but more
recently we have not seen good results and have to consider it incurable. In one case, diagnosed
as Duchenne’s Disease, which usually results in death at an early age, we have seen a more than
twenty year long survival. TO SUM UP:
The Gerson Therapy would be useless and could even cause harm to the following, who should
not undertake it under any circumstances:
 •  Patients on dialysis


ogenic. We find more cancer in cows, pigs and
chickens today than ever before. And humans eat this. Some meat
producers (farmers and ranchers) have also lost their integrity and sense
of decency, and are grinding up their sick and dying cows, pigs and
chickens and mixing this “dead,” often “diseased,” meat into their regular
animal feed. This leads to “Mad Cow” and “Hoof and Mouth” disease. We see this now, especially in Europe, where meat growers have been
feeding dead sheep meat to living cows. Cows are vegetarians. Hogs are
not true meat eaters, either. This eventually leads to acidosis and diseasewithin these animals, just as it does within humans. High protein diets lower manganese levels resulting in spasms,
convulsions, neurotransmitter issues (myasthenia, S. O. B., heart
arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation, etc. ), neuromuscular problems,
Parkinson’s and Lou Gehrig’s disease. Meat is full of dead blood cells (hemoglobin), which are full of iron. However, iron is a mineral, which if consumed in abundance can become
toxic, especially oxidized iron (not plant iron). Iron toxicity creates a
multitude of reactions within the body, including:
Decrease in chromium (needed in insulin transport issues)
Decrease in zinc (needed in insulin and energy production)
Damage to liver, pancreatic and kidney tissue
Lowering of calcium and calcium absorption and utilization
Increase in sodium levels (hence creating edema)
Increase in nitrogen and phosphorous levels (thus increasing acidosis)
Dizziness, equilibrium and spastic conditions by decreasing manganese
levels
Meat eating leads to high blood pressure from sodium retention and lipid
coagulation. Meat eating with vitamin C supplementation enhances iron absorption,
thereby magnifying iron toxicity
Red meat eating is linked to the increase of N-Nitroso compounds from
intestinal bacteria, which can be cancer-causing to the intestinal walls. Meat eating is known to be one of the chief and most direct causes of
tooth decay. These are just a few examples of why high animal-protein diets are
destroying the human race. Wake up and enjoy life without animal
products. Your body will love you for it, as it becomes odor-free and
vibrant. Love your planet and its animals too. COMPLETE PROTEIN OR COMPLETE MYTH. There is a myth about the need for “complete” amino acids or “complete
proteins” in the human diet. We have struggled with this misinformation for
years. Basically, the misinformation says that unless you eat foods containing
all the essential amino acids in one meal you will not have what you need to
create a “complete protein” and therefore your body will be protein deficient. This is one of the primary arguments for the consumption of meat and dairyproducts, or the consumption of soy products, beans, and white flour. Consider, however:
What is the diet of a wild horse, an elephant, or a cow. These are
herbivores and their strength is well known. Their diet is 100 percent
grass and vegetable matter. If they needed the “complete protein” that is
claimed, they must be getting it from plants. 70 to 80 percent of a grizzly bear’s diet is grass. Bears don’t eat much
meat. When they do, it’s generally the fat (not the protein) structure that
they’re after. Bears are omnivores. We are the highest species in the frugivore category, which is not
designed to eat meat. Raw foodists who eat a balanced variety of fruits, vegetables and nuts are
never deficient in the amino acids necessary for health. Quite the
opposite. Plant amino acids are more energetic and easy for your body to
break down and use. Meat requires a more radical and energy-robbing
digestive process to obtain the amino acids that comprise it. The other
important factor here is that meat protein leaves an acid reaction in the
body, creating more acidosis, whereas vegetables leave an alkaline
reaction, thus cutting acidosis. Your body requires live foods to make it alive. If the components are not
in fresh, organic fruits, nuts and vegetables you don’t need them. And
besides, there’s nothing healthy about eating old, rotten, dead tissue—dead
cells in stagnant blood. The constitution of man’s body has not changed to meet the new
conditions of his artificial environment that has replaced his natural one. The result is that of perpetual discord between man and his environment. The effect of this discord is a general deterioration of man’s body, the
symptoms of which are termed disease. — Professor Hilton Hotema,

MODULE 4. 3
 Irritants and Stimulants
Most people consume large amounts of irritants and stimulants in their diets,
so called because these compounds
irritate
 and
stimulate
 tissue, causing
excessive mucus production and hyper-or hypo-activity of these tissues
(organs, glands, etc. ). Eventually, because of this abuse, these tissues fail,
leading to chronic and degenerative disorders. Some of the irritants that
people consciously or unconsciously consume each day are black pepper,
caffeine, salt, MSG, preservatives, chemical and refined sugars. The list can
get very long. These compounds irritate the mucosa of the GI tract, causing mucus
discharge, which becomes congested and impacted. They also create
inflammation in the body, as most of them are acidic, or heat-producing, thus
initiating an immune response. In the health field, however, Capsicum
(cayenne pepper) is used by many for both high blood pressure and for
increasing circulation. Cayenne pepper is not as irritating as black pepper. However, red pepper does stimulate the mucosa of the GI tract, which can
cause excessive mucus production. Mucus congestion is at the heart of
congestive conditions, including sinus congestion, bronchitis, pneumonia and
earaches. When an individual changes his or her lifestyle and begins to eat a raw,
living-food diet, the body changes. The more raw food you consume, the
more your body becomes pure and healthy. You will reach a point where you
will not be able to eat pungent foods anymore. Cayenne pepper, onions and
even garlic will become irritating to you. Stimulants are one of man’s passions. We intake hundreds of pounds
and/or gallons of these substances each year. Coffee, tea and soda are
consumed like never before. These drinks (being high in tannins, alkaloids,
sulfuric and phosphoric acids, and the like) not only stimulate tissues, but
also damage them. Do you know what happens to concrete if you pour soda
pop on it. It breaks it down. If you put a piece of meat into a glass of soda,
what happens to the meat. The same thing—it deteriorates. Soda pop
inflames and destroys the lining of your GI tract, not to mention the liver and
kidneys. Coffee and commercial teas are also highly consumed today. These
drinks irritate and stimulate the liver, GI tract, heart, endocrine gland system,
(thyroid, adrenals, pituitary, thymus, etc. ), and the kidneys. Among health-
enthusiasts, coffee enemas are also very popular. I do not recommend these,
however, because they are too stimulating to your intestines and liver. Theyonly serve to stimulate these tissues, eventually causing extreme enervation
and severe constipation. Use “good” herbal bowel regenerators that are non-
addicting, and will clean and restore good bowel function. (See Resource
Guide at the back of this book for recommendations of herb companies that
make good formulas. ) Chocolate is another stimulant that men, women and children love to
consume. Chocolate is highly acidic and has a high oxalic acid content. When
your body is acidic and you consume foods that are high in oxalates, these
oxa-lates bind with ionic calcium causing calcium oxalate stones, such as
kidney stones. Alcohol and refined sugars are other stimulants that are highly consumed
by people today. These are highly acidic and mucus-forming. Beer adds to
the yeast overgrowth in people, which creates the desire for more refined
sugars, keeping this wheel ever-turning. In diabetes, alcohol keeps the blood
sugar elevated and stimulates the adrenal glands, causing further weaknesses. Of course, fermentation of food sugars in the stomach also causes alcohol. Organic wine would be the only alcohol I would recommend, and very little
of that. Refined sugars are acid-forming and cause a great deal of mucus
production by the body. As previously stated, mucus becomes congestive
leading to allergies, bronchitis, pneumonia, colds, flu, mumps, sinusitis, and
all the “congestive” type conditions. Refined sugars, being acid-forming, also
add to the inflammation of tissue. Meat is also a well-known stimulant that is irritating and inflammatory to
our tissues. As we noted in the last section, meat is full of antibiotics,
hormones, nuclear wastes, steroids, adrenaline, pesticides, herbicides, and
several other toxic chemicals. These substances are all stimulants, irritants and
suppressors, all mixed together and found in the tissue of the meat. These
chemicals (and adrenaline) can give you a temporary feeling of energy, only
to make you more fatigued afterwards. Meat,


 Where was Maimonides born?,
A: Cordova, Spain
Q: What was Maimonides' profession and expertise?,
A: He was a physician with a very extensive practice, holding important medical appointments in the royal court of Egypt.
Q: What is the main idea of the book "The Preservation of Youth"?,
A: The book provides advice on maintaining health and preventing disease, with a focus on the importance of natural processes and the role of the physician in supporting and not interfering with these processes.
Q: What is the author's view on the role of the physician?,
A: The author believes that a physician should not interfere with the natural processes of the body, and instead should support and strengthen the body's natural functions.
Q: What is the author's advice on the use of medication?,
A: The author advises against the use of strong medication, and instead recommends leaving the body to its natural processes, as excessive medication can cause harm and lead to negative consequences.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>We cause
injury by interfering with na ture's right function and we
cause retention of what had to be expelled and ill health
develops. Often one develops loose stools because of the weakening of the retentive pow er. If let alone, it would
return to a normal state and to normal activity. But
because this power has always been helped and
strengthened whenever it became weak, it becomes a
habit, and when it stops, it is necessary to move it from
the outside. It has already been explained that it is best to
leave this to nature. And so it should be in everything that
holds no danger. ALFARABI ON HEALING, SAILING AND AGRICULTURE
Abu Nassar Alfarabi mentioned that the arts of
healing, sailing and agricultu re do not bring full results
for the effort exerted. The physician, for example, does
everything that he has to do in  the best possible way, with
no error either on his part or on the part of the patient;
nevertheless he does not atta in the desired result of
restoring health. And the reason is that what affects us is
not medicine alone, but medici ne together with nature,
and nature is not always su ccessful in removing all the
causes that have been mentioned in this chapter. The tiller
of the soil also does everything that is required, yet has no
success in sowing. And equall y, the sailor guides his boat
the best he can and builds it in  the best structure and sails
it in the proper place and ye t he suffers shipwreck. And the cause of this is that the results are due to two factors,
one of which may do everything necessary while the
other fails in its activity. When you observe what we have said in the previous
chapter, you will know that occasionally a disease is
light, but the disposition to it is strong. If you try to
remove the disease and do everything for the patient,
while the physician or the patient fails in medication,
nature's function will be interfered with. And herein lies
most of the mistakes that are made in every place and
every time. AL RAZI: THE PATIENT AND HIS DISEASE
Al Razi said in one of hi s books: "When the disease is
stronger than the patient, the physician will not be able to
help him at all, and if the stre ngth of the patient is greater
than the strength of the dis ease, he does not need a
physician at all. But when both are equal, they need a
physician who will support the patient's strength and help
him against the disease. Said the author: From the
statement of this perfect pr actitioner it is implied that
avoiding a physician is often better than engaging one, if
all the events of th e illness are taken into consideration. This rule applies only if the physician is wise and can help nature and should not err in his way and deviate
from his right habit. SURPRISING MEDICAL DEVELOPMENTS
Many physicians treat their patients with criminal
neglect; nevertheless the patie nts do not die but are saved. And I have seen those who have prescribed asparagus, a
strong purgative, for one who did not need even a mild
one, causing the loss of much blood from below. And
they persisted in it many days bringing about tense
tenesmus and diarrhea—yet the patient got well again. And I have also seen one who suffered of indigestion and
was treated unknowingly by phlebotomy and he became
helpless from pain in his heart and loss of strength,
prolonging and worsening his di sease, yet he was cured. But the physician should not ta ke it for granted that a
physician's error causes little in jury and say: As this error
in great measure did not cause death, it will surely cause
no harm if the physician errs a little in the amount of food
or drink. But this is not so a nd the causes that come from
inside are the same as the cau ses that come from outside. You can see with your own eyes men whose arms were
amputated up to the shoulder and their legs above their
hips, or their eyes were removed or they were beaten and smitten severely many times in battle, penetrating the
insides of their bodies, yet th ey did not die but survived
by the will of God. You can also  see one piercing his skin
with a thin needle or thorn that reaches one of his nerves
causing a spasm and he dies. And the error of the
physicians is equal in both di rections, for sometimes they
commit a grave error and the patient is saved, and
occasionally the error in trea tment is very mild and the
patient thinks that it is of little consequence, yet it will
prove the cause of his death. Let every intelligent man
keep his eye on this. Most people think that the rules for eating regular food
and drinking regular fluids and ablutions in cold water
that one is accustomed to, may be changed to the reverse
without involving any danger fo r the patient. But it is not
so. Galen has already explai ned that one who is in a
febrile state and is permitted to drink a lot of cold water
will lose his fluids, bringing a bout the fire of fever and he
will die. And some, on the contrary, find in drinking told
water a cure, because it will so ften the stools, extinguish
the fire of the fever and the patient will become well,
while without the water he would die. In some febrile
states, if we permit the patient to enter cold waters, he
will get healthy and be saved, and in others it will bring
death. Some febrile patients will cleanse their bodies and complete their cure if they will enter a bath, and in others
it will increase their putrefac tion and fever and cause their
death. So also with foods: in some patients their
avoidance will cure and in others it will kill. And the
actions of all these things and the circumstances under
which we should do things or avoid them, have already
been explained and their causes pointed out. MEDICINE A COMPLICATED SCIENCE
To understand all this, as it is described in books, is
very easy for any intelligen t person. But its practical
application in time of ne ed, in a case involving a
particular patient, is quite difficult for the wise man with
a settled mind. But laymen who are ignorant of the
foundations of this science, yet talk with certainty and
without restraint, consider the problem an easy one and
do not believe there is an illness that requires much
observation. Al Razi said in one of his books: The
ignorant say that medicine is  just a profession, that one
can learn it through exercise. But how difficult it is for
the good physician! Said the author: The item mentioned
by Razi in this chapter is disc ussed at length in the works
of Galen, who mentions, th at while Hippocrates talks
about its difficulty, crafty pe ople consider this profession light and easy. And the reader of my statement should not
imagine that this attitude is limited to medicine alone,
because he will find the same in all the natural sciences,
practical and theoretical. The more perfect a person
becomes in one of the scie nces, the more cautious he
grows, developing doubts, questions and problems that
are only partially solved. And the more deficient one is in
science, the easier it will be  for him to understand every
difficulty, making the im probable probable and
increasing the false claims which he represents as certain
knowledge, and is eager to expl ain things that he does not
understand himself. And let me return to what I began to
say about the ease with whic h men of good intelligence
and understanding comprehend the medical science and
how difficult it is for them to  apply it. Galen has already
stated as follows: It is easy  to say that it is proper to
anoint old people with oil and rub it in, but to do it
properly is one of the most difficult tasks. THE LEARNED ARE CAUTIOUS
Said the author: You who observe well, please note, if
anointing and rubbing is a difficult task, according to
Galen, who discusses the speci fic case of drinking or
abstaining from

but a little -the price of which is the frustration of
knowing that we must at last go clown  in defeat. If we find  this absurd,  this is only to say  that
nature  has conceived intelligence in us to berate
icself for  absurdity. Consciousness  secms  to be
nature's  in- genious  mode  of self-torturc. Of course  we  do  not want  to think  that  this is
true. But it would  be easy to show that  most rea -

turc's method of puuing  off suicide so that the
idiocy  can continuc. Reasoning,  then,  is not
enough. We muse go decper. Wc must look imo
this lifc, this na- turc, which has bccome aware
within  us, and find  out whether it is really in
conflict with itself, whether  it actiwlly desires thc
security and the painlessness  which  its individual
forms  can never  enjoy. III. THE  GREAT  STREAM

cause life is sweet we do nol  want to give it up,
and yet the more we become involved  in it,  the
more  we are trapped, limited, and fruslrated. We lave it  and hate it at the same time. We fall
in. 'ove with  people and possessions only to be
torlured by anxiety  for them. The  conAict  is not
only  belween  oursclves  and the surrounding
universe; it is between our - selves and
ourselves. For imractable nalUre is both  around
and within  us. The exaspcrating "life" which  is at
once lavable and perishable, pleasant and pain -
ful, a blessing  and a curse,  is also the lifc of our
o w n bodies. lt is as if wc were  dividcd  into  two  parts. On
the
one hand therc is the conscious "l," at once
intrigued  and baffled, the creature who is caught
in Lhc trap. On the other  hand  there  is  "me,"  and
"me"   is a part of nature -the wayward flesh with
all its concur - rently beauti(ul and frustrating
limitations. 'T' fan - cies itself as a reasonable
fellow, and is forevcr crit- icizing "me" for its
pen,crsity -for having passions  which get "l"
into troublc, for being so easily sub - ject to
painful and irritating diseascs, for having or -
gans that wear out, and for having appetites
which  can never  be satisfied -so designed  that  if
you try to
39  THE  WIS0OM  OF INSECURITY
allay  them  finally  and fully  in one big "bust,"
you get sick. Perhaps the most exasperating thing about
"me,"  about nature and the universe, is that it will
never  "stay  put. " It is like a beautiful  woman  who
will never be caught, and  whose very  flightiness  is
her charm. For the perishability  and
changefulness  of the world is part and parce. of
its liveliness and love - liness. This is why the poets
are so often at their best  when  speaking of change,
of "the  transitoriness  of human life. " The bcauty of
such poetry lies in some - thing more than a note of
nostalgia which brings a  catch  in the throat. Our revels now  are ended. These our
actors,  As I foretold  you, were  all spirits,
and
Are melted  into  air, into  thin  air:
And,  like the baseless  fabric  o/ this vision,
The cloud -capp'd  towers,  the gorgeous
f,alaces,  The  solemn  temf1les,  the greal
globe  itself,  Yca, ali  which  it inherit,  shall
dissolve,
And,  like this insubstantial  pageant  faded,
Leave  not a rack  behind. There  is more  in this beauty  than  the
succession  of melodious images, and che thcmc of
clissolution  does not simply borrow its splenclor
from the things  dissolvecl. The  truth  is rather  that
the images,  though beautiful in  themselves, come
to life in the act of vanishing. The poet  takes
away  their static  solidity,  and turns  a beauty
which  would  otherwise
40 THE  GREAT  STREAM
be only  statuesque  and architectural  into  music,
which, no sooner than it is sounded, dies away. The  towers,  palaces,  and temples  become  vibrant,
and break  from  thc excess  of life within  them. To
be passing is to live; to remain and cominue is ro
die. "Unless a grain of corn  fall into  the ground
and die, it remains alone. But if it dies, it brings
forth much  fruit. " For the poets have seen the truth that life,
change,  movement, and insecurity are so many
names for the  same thing. Here, if anywhere, truth
is beauty,  for movement and rhythm are of the
esscnc e of ali things  lovable. In sculpture,
architecture, and painting the finished forro
stands still, but even so the eye finds  pleasure in
the forro only when it contains a certain  lack of
symmetry, when, frozen in stone as it may be,  it
looks  as if it were  in the midst  of motion. Is it not, thcn, a strange inconsistency and an
un- natural paradox that  "l" resists change  in
''me"  and in the surrounding  universe. For
change  is not merely a force of destruction. Every
forro is really a  pattern  of movement, and  every
living thing is  like the river, which, if it did not
flow out, would never  have been able to flow in. Life and death are not two  opposed forces;  they
are simply two ways of looking  at the same force,
for the movement of change is as  muc h the builder
as the destroyer. The human body  lives because it
is a complex of motions, of circula - tion,
respiration,  and digestion. To resist  change,  to
41 THE  WISDOM  OF INSECURITY
try to cling to life, is therefore like holding
your  brcath:  if you  pcrsisL  you  kili yoursclf. In thinking of oursclves as divided into ''I"
and "me," wc casily forget Lhat consciousness
also livcs  becausc it is moving. lt is as mucha part
and product  of the strcam of change as the body
and the whole  natural  world. If you look  at it
carefully,  you will sce that consciousness -the
thing you call "l"-is really  a stream  of
cxperiences,  of sensations,  thoughts, and  feelings
in constam motion. But becausc these cx-
pericnccs includc mcmories, we havc the
imprcssion  thaL "l" is somcthing solid and still,
likc a tablct  upon  which  life is writing  a
record. Yet the ''tablct" moves with the writing finger
as thc river flows along with  thc ripples, so that
memory  is like a record written on water -a
record, not of  graven characters, but of waves
stirred into motion  by other waves which are
callcd sensations and facts. Thc diffcrcnce
bctwccn "l" and "me" is largely an  illusion of
memory. In trulh, 'T' is of the same na - ture as
"me. " lt is part of our whole being, just as  the
head is part of the body. But if this is not realized,
"I" and "me," the head and thc body, will feel
at odds with cach other. "I," not undcrstanding
that it  too is part of thc stream of changc, will try
to makc  scnse of thc world and experiencc by
attcmpting Lo fix it. We shall  then  have  a war  between  consciousness
and nature,  between  the dcsire  C o r permanence

Basic protocol for everyone

I regularly receive messages from people with very serious health issues, wanting recommendations for how
to respond to those issues naturally because they d on't want to do the cut-burn-poison thing the docto rs want
to do. Many of these issues are downright scary, and some I've never even heard of. There's only one person who knows all the answers, and it ain't me! But this I do know. Whatever healing that can happe n in a body must be enacted by that body. There is only
one cure for cancer or diabetes or arthritis or a c old or a pimple: It's the immune system. If your im mune
system stops, nothing else will cure you. I don't e ven like that word, "cure", which suggests a proble m is
gone for good. No health problem can be banished fr om your life, there is always a possibility of it r eturning,
especially if the conditions that allowed it in the  first place occur again. So, we don't "cure" people, we show you ways to hel p your body heal itself as well as it can. Obviousl y, a
body's healing capacity is greater at 20 years old than 50 years old or 80 years old. All we can do is  try to
optimize the healing capacity of anyone's body by g iving the body what optimizes its immune system and
avoiding what interferes with its immune system. Certain supplements are known to boost the immune s ystem in different ways for different health condit ions. The fundamental immune system boosters in one's die t are whole, unpolluted foods (organic, unprocessed,
unpasteurized, unpoisoned, unradiated, non-GMO, etc. ), fermented, sprouted and concentrated foods
(juicing, nutritional yeast, black strap molasses, wheat germ, etc.). Even these foods nowadays need e xtra
nutritional help, so we take the appropriate supple ments designed to address specific needs (iodine, M SM,
the appropriate calcium, miscel vitamins, Concentra ce trace minerals, etc.). There are various therapies/treatments that can hel p in various ways: water & coffee enemas, use of a
nebulizer, colonics, chiropractors and various bioe lectrical healing devices can all aid the body in i ts self-
healing efforts. I have articles that detail various immune system-b oosting substances/techniques (list below) that you  can
find in my library. Whatever health condition you h ave, however far advanced it may seem to be, there are
certain fundamentals that should be followed. Colloidal silver (CS) is, in my opinion, the best a ll-around immune system booster I have seen in 30+ years
as a natural health practitioner. The only people w ho shouldn't use it are that small percentage of th e
population who are actually allergic to silver (1 i n every 350,000 people). It is also my opinion that, starting small and grad ually increasing, the more serious the health issue, the more
CS should be ingested, sometimes being the only liq uid that is being drunk. The addition of drops of food grade hydrogen peroxi de once or twice per day can increase the effective ness
of CS 500 - 1,000%. Please understand, silver does not cure anything, y our immune system does that. Silver is a major boos ter of
the immune system, and enhances the body's self-hea ling ability. Start with that and pay attention to your diet/supp lementation and you will be doing all that you can do to
help your body heal itself. Various articles:

Q: Who does the author think knows all


. Rarely are any claims
made that a drug will cure any particular chronic disease. At best, th ey usually profess only to substitute one set of symptoms for
another. The Myth of the “Cure”
The very notion that “cure” is possible is preposterous. Healing, on the other hand is not only possible but is ongoing. The
inborn healing intelligence of the body is always  at work, repairing us and compensating for the challenges we subject it  to. This
healing occurs as quickly and efficiently as possible given our le vel of vital energy—and in a priority order we cannot comprehend. All attempts (both conventional and “alternative”) to aid this pr ocess through outside interventions or treatments or ingestion of any
external substances only shift symptoms and create greater problems  for the body in the long run. Healing comes through cessation of cause. We are never cured from a dis ease or symptom, for if we once again participate in
its cause the body again begins the process of generating the symptoms i n response. The fact that pharmaceutical drugs are sold legally over the counte r or are prescribed by licensed physicians does not make
them any less dangerous to health than street drugs. Over 100,000 people die eac h year from the side effects of these patented
medicines. No one has ever died from eating an adequate supply of fruits and v egetables. The advice to continue or curtail a particular medication is beyond the s cope of this book. However, any reputable physician
should encourage his or her patients to improve their underlying healt h so as to make the continued reliance on pharmaceutical
medications unnecessary. How can I stay raw in the winter cold? Fortunately, most folks who live in colder climates have homes in which  to eat, sleep, work, and live. We maintain our homes
at comfortable temperatures. People continue to drink cold beer and eat ice cr eam in the winter. They eat hot food in the heat of
summer. Neither geography nor the seasons are valid reasons for us to ch ange our diet from 80/10/10. If in cold weather a person finds that they need more food, it is perfectly ac ceptable to increase consumption. The
caloronutrient percentages should not change appreciably, however, jus t as it does not change whether a person consumes 1,500
calories per day or 4,500 calories per day. Of course, it is almost always a healt hy idea to take a winter vacation to a warm-
weather climate if you live in a location where this season is parti cularly harsh. Is there such a thing as foods that heal? It is important to understand that foods don’t heal us; the body does all the  healing. Foods, cooked or raw, simply supply the materials the body uses to perform its various functions. However, low-fa t raw vegan foods provide the widest range of high-quality
nutrients and are, therefore, more likely to furnish the perfect proporti on of raw materials needed by the body for healing. Beyond that, no specific raw food is better for “healing” than any othe r. Each supplies a form of raw material that the body
may need and use. Unlike cooked foods, raw foods do this without leaving a toxic resi due that can overwhelm the body’s ability to
maintain a healthy, balanced state. A good variety of low-fat raw vegan foods in the diet is more than adequate to a ttain, regain, or maintain health. It is always
healthiest and most economical to emphasize in-season foods that are gr own locally, as these will likely be the freshest. It is best to
seek out variety over the course of the year, rather than combining foods a t every meal, every day, or even every week. Is it all right to juice fruits and vegetables? With a few exceptions, it is preferable to consume the whole foods rather t han to extract and drink part of them. Drinking fruit
or vegetable juice without the pulp being present to slow the absorption rat e of the nutrients can spike the blood sugar and throw
your blood chemistry out of balance. One exception is fresh-squeezed citrus fruits, since a significa nt portion of the pulp is generally retained with the juice. The
other “exceptions” are to blend fruits such as melons into a watery  slush or to make fruit smoothies out of fruits like bananas,
strawberries, peaches, or mangos. Liquefying a blender full of whole frui t turns it into a thick smoothie, while keeping the entire
nutritional package together. Blending whole tomato, celery, and orange m akes a thick, tasty, salad dressing. Do I need to take supplements? You have no need for supplements if you are eating a calorically adequate  low-fat plant-based raw diet, engaging in frequent
vigorous activity, and otherwise living a healthful lifestyle. A ll the vitamins, minerals and nutrients any body needs are amply suppli ed
through the variety of fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens found in a  healthful diet. That said, the health of each individual always takes priority over any  philosophical position. In individual cases, it may be
necessary to supplement the diet nutritionally during the initial  phases of lifestyle change rather than risk potential health damag e. One
example of this is a possible need to supplement B 12. If you experience extended periods of extreme stress, are nursing, eati ng too
much frozen food, are in transition, or your food is not grown in healthy soil, su pplementing this nutrient for a short period of time
may be beneficial. Supplementation would be done solely to allow time for the be nefits of correct living to accrue or for extenuating
circumstances to pass. Nonetheless, the amount of nutrients that we require, across the board, i s far less than conventional guidelines would have us
believe. When the body is in a fit and healthy state and all systems are  working optimally, we experience superior absorption and
utilization and overall greater efficiency in every aspect of cel lular function. When we slow down and gum up the works with fat,
however, it’s a different story. And supplement vendors capitalize on  this fact to your detriment. People have come to equate nutrition with pills, powders, and potions, rather th an with whole foods from nature. Ironically,
you generally won’t find a single food of any kind in most “health-food” store s. Their products, no matter how “whole” or “natural”
the ingredients, may shift symptoms but do not and cannot  create true health. If “health foods” were truly whole and natural, they would contain all of  the water, fiber, and other vital components that
nature provides them with, and their sale would require no packaging or labe ls. (The profit margins would also dwindle, as whole
produce doesn’t carry the markup of “nutritional” products.) No pill or powder that has had any of its water removed can properly be called a “whole-food” supplement, and anyone who
markets their dehydrated product as such is kidding themselves, as well a s you. The water in our plant foods is simply too critical for
our cellular health to be compromised, and no drinking water of any kind can eve r adequately make up the difference. When the
water is removed, the oxidative process that occurs has a degrading impac t on the nutrients that remain, leaving supplements far less
nutritious than their whole-food counterparts. When people follow the nutritionally unsound advice of supplement s alesmen selling fractional, isolated “foods,” they shouldn’t
be surprised when they end up not feeling their best, with a naggi ng sense that “something” is wrong. This opens the door wide for
the salesman to then sell supplements to “correct” the dietary and n utritional insufficiencies their own advice occasioned. I’m always dumbfounded when I hear about the money people spend on nut ritional supplements. It seems there is no high-end
limit to the amount of product recommended by supplement salesmen. In convey or-belt fashion, they roll out a bewildering array of
“newly discovered” miracle “foods,” while at the same time replacin g older products with newly reformulated versions. Such antics
essentially amount to an open admission that yesterday’s silver bullet, which they touted so highly, really didn’t work as well as their
sales pitch had promised. Most of what comes from the world of nutrition these days is no more than sli ck marketing disguised as education, in the form
of infomercials and edutisements. The marketer informs the audience  that some nutrient is good for a particular condition and then
follows up with a strong push to convince the audience to buy lots of it. Of course, the marketers neglect to mention that too much of that nutri ent is harmful in a variety of ways, not the least of which is the inevitable imbalances that result when we consume suppleme nts of any kind. Most supplements are concentrated from plant
foods, and despite our American “more is better” mindset, the body does not  appreciate these unnatural concentrates and has to
work to expel them similarly to the way it has to eliminate toxic residu e from cooked foods. Like an amateur barber who finds himself trimming each side of the  hair to make things “even” until his client is bald, a person
who supplements with single nutrients (or any formulation or combinat ion of extracted nutrients) inevitably creates greater and more
confounding imbalances, whether or not the cause and effect are discer nible in the short term. It is always better to correct the diet
than to supplement it. On a healthy diet, supplements are not


 recorded (for example, documented exp eriences of
Ramakrishna, the Baal Shem T ov, St. Francis of Assisi, and others) and
thereby given credence and acceptance as a possible reality fo r those who
are exceptionally motivated or gifted. At consc iousness level 500, there is a major shift of paradigm. Mentation
gives way to i ntuition, linear causality to nonlinear synchro nicity, and
external ef fort to subjective rea lization. From consciousness level 600 and
up, the spiritual reality is desc ribed as inef fable or mystical. Its nondual
quality ( that is, “no mind,” or “ Mind”) makes such a condition dif ficult to
language or conceptualize and therefore is seemingly limited as an actual
experiential pos sibility. Advance d students are familiar with the  writing s of
the great sages w hose work is c haracterized by the Sanskrit terms Advaita
and V edanta, about which there is considerable information available
through the writings of recent well-known teachers, such as Ramana
Maharshi or Nisar gadatta Maharaj. On a similar level are the teachings of
great, w ell-known mystics of all religions, such as the Sufis, the Kabbalists,
or the Zohar. Of major importance, and also well known, are the teachings
of the Buddha, the Hindu sages, and the Zen adepts. Credenc e as to the
actuality and reality of Enlightenment is supported by the rather extensive
literature about such states by w ell-known scholars, such as W illiam James,
and later scholars of the Zen tradition, such as D. T. Suzuki and Alan W atts. The dif ficulty in describing or explaining such states is simply  that the
consciousness le vel of the intel lect is limited to the 400s and includes the
presumption of cause and ef fect. Though the descriptions are linear, the
states themselves are nonlinear and thus can be alluded to but not accurately
described in familiar language. D espite the limitation of accurate depiction,
the r eality of such states is universally recognized, and most r ecently, we
have confirmed the Reality of enlightened states with consciousness
calibration research. Though statistically rare, such advanced states are
inspirational and  give recognition to the potential of human consciousness
to evolve. The fact  that the enlightened condition is not comprehensible, ex plicable,
or possib le of “acquisition” by the mind/intellect dismays spiritual seekers;
thus, su ch states may seem unreachable and therefore not pr actical as a
goal. On the contrary, in ac tuality, advanced states are powerfullyexperiential bec ause the Reality that they confirm and reflect is already a
fact consequent to the very obvious actuality that you already exist. Thus,
every sp iritual s tudent already has met the first requirement, an d it is only
necessary to add motivation and  commitment. Thus, the only r equirements
are, first, to exis t, then to have heard of Enlightenment, and the n to seek it
as a  rea lizable goal. What makes it seem dif ficult is the deart h of simple
information and clarification, fo r experientially the way is innately simple,
although at times seemingly ard uous. This book contains information that
clarifies the essential steps. Another reason that reaching the state of Enlightenment seems
impractical is because the mind conceptualizes in terms of cause  and ef fect,
and stud ents con ceive of themselves as being driven (that is, implying inner
willpower and so forth) instead  of the reality that they are ac tually being
attracted by their future destiny, like an iron filing to the magnet. Comfort and confidence can be  derived from a verifiable realit y that the
rare individuals who are actuall y attracted to Enlightenment as a life goal
are s o because th at is already th eir destiny (calibrates as true). For the same
reason, only future golfers would be taking golf lessons. Q&A
Q: Wher e does one begin the sear ch for spiritual truth, Self-r ealization,
and Enlightenment. A:  It is sim ple. Begin with who and what you are. All truth is found
within. Use verified teachings as a guide. Q: How does the inner path differ fr om traditional r eligious
observance. A:  The  emphasis is on the inner experiential subjective realization and
internal validation of spiritual truth. In contrast, religions often require
memorizing ecc lesiastical doctrines, learning about their historical or
mythological origins and sources, along with the citation of authority,
precedent, and illustrious figure s and contributors. There tend to be variousregulations, such as those regarding lifestyle, dress, and hairstyles, as well
as rules  of conduct pertaining to marriage, procreation, and social and
sexual activities, based on ecclesiastical doctrine, correlated with specified
ethnic or tribal cultures limited in time and geography. In addition, there are
explicit or implied requirements, such as attendance, membership, and
group commitments. These often result in social/group inclusions and
exclusions (for example, believers versus nonbelievers). W ithin the domain
of religion, it is  the mystics who calibrate the highest, by virtue of their
direct, inner realization of T ruth. Q: What personality characteristics ar e favorable. A:  C haracteristica lly, devotees tend to be introspective, thou ghtful,
reflective, curious, responsible, and attentive. There is usually an aversion
to v iolence, cruelty, nonintegrity, and the fanfare and drama of glamour or
vulgarity. There are the attraction to learning for its own sake and the
pleasure of discovery of basic premises, and a capacity for rigorous self-
honesty. Q: What about daily life. A:  Spi ritual devotion is a contin uous inner lifestyle that incorporates
constant watchful awareness. The process is self-rewarding and,
paradoxically, this results in greater benefit and enjoyment  of formal
religious partici pation or practices as well. The reflections of truth are
everywhere to be seen and recognized in multitudinous expressions. By
internal observation, you develop an inner wisdom that facilitates
compassion and spiritual comprehension rather than an “ought to”
discipline. W ith inner awareness, religious guilt and preoccupation with sin
diminish, and instead, you ch oose positive options, rather than being
controlled by negative program s resulting in shame, fear, and guilt. (It is
well to note that the level of Gu ilt is at the bottom of the Map, while Joy is
at th e top. ) Fulf illment of potential is rewarding and gratifyin g, which in
turn progressive ly reinforces motivation. Self-honesty brings g reater inner
freedom as well as adaptational expertise and flexibility. It is not necessary
to w ithdraw from the world b ut instead to recontextualize it. Spiritualevolution resul ts in greater capability due to the advan cement of
consciousness that ensues. It is a matter of motivation. It is not necessary to
go into monastic retreat, although there may be such periods that are
beneficial. Q: Inner spiritual work seems to r equir e discipline and endeavor. A:  These requirem ents are activated by intention. Inner work be comes
powered by an unexpected mom entum as each positive step in creases the
likelihood and ease of many m ore, like rolling a snowball downhill. T o
for give one person makes it easier and more likely to for give another and
another. Q: How do you transcend the ego. A:  Y ou begin by letting go of wanting to control aversions and
attractions. Y ou let go of all wa ntingness. In this way, you eve ntually will
transcend the experiencer, which is the core of the ego. Ev erything is
happening spon taneously by virtue of the field of infinite power, that is
Divinity, but you will see that within one ten-thousandth of a second, the
ego jum ps in and claims to be the author of experience. T o tra nscend that
one ten-thousandth of a second is what happens when you finally transcend
the limitations and identification with a personal ego. Then you’ll see that
nothing happens in linear, causal sequence. Nothing causes anything;
everything arises spontaneously as potentiality becomes actuality by virtue
of the power of the field. There is no “this” causing a “that. ” That is merely
the ego, the perceiver ’ s, projection. Y ou bec ome the  witness to life’ s  emer gence in each moment. Y o u are not
the c ause. Y ou a re not the doer. Y ou are not the perpetrator. Y ou  are not the
victim. Y ou drop all the concepts. Y ou are not any of those things. It’ s easy
to becom e conscious that you a re the witness of phenomena, the witness. From th at state, it is easy to mo ve into the realms of Light, Love, and the
Radiance of the Self, in which everything is happening spo ntaneously. These are the s tates of illumination. All that exists shines forth as the

dry fasting you become hardier to cold. - There were gray hair and they fell, after starvation, they
become thicker and younger in color. - It was poor vision, it is after SG - often improves. - If you have an eye to starvation protein was yellow, then after
starvation, he is pure white. - If you were snoring in his sleep, after SG breathing becomes even
and quiet and gnashing of teeth lost in a dream. - If you have had a heavy breath, the breath after SG
becomes clear, and odorless. - If you are worried about the bitterness in my mouth the morning, after fasting
sensation in the mouth is always sweet and fresh. - Leaves yellow plaque from the teeth. They turn white as pearls. - If your teeth were swaying in the gums (periodontal disease), then dry

(Method of CA LA SCHENNI KOV AL)
Secrets of the healing of dry fasting
New medical technology is a complete implementation of the method of dry
starvation (GSN)
Complete dry fasting duration of 7, 9, 11 days is used for:
1. Effective incentive healthily and recovery
forces that increase the body's resistance to various
adverse effects on people: the external factors
inner-outer and inner. 2. Getting rid of people from different disease states
and chronic diseases. 3. Enhance and restore the regenerative and reparative
processes in organs and tissues. 4. Prevention and control of possible violations
in the body. 5. Substantially extend the period of active creativity
any member of society. 6. Discovery and development of hidden reserves of creativity
intelligence available to everyone in the form of unrealized
potency. 7. Joyful perception of the world and active
active creativity for the benefit of themselves, society and the
humanity. The main advantages of new medical technology:
- PSG technique is environmentally clean, does not require the use of
medicines;
- Periodic cleansing of the body as a result of PSG helps
maintain health, give rest to all organs of the gastrointestinal
tract, stimulates creative activity of man, raises
emotional and imaginative perception of the outside world;
- Method of PSG, in contrast to other schemes of starvation
lets you interrupt the fasting, at any stage of its execution without
harm to patient health;
- GSN enhances a person's will and faith in themselves and their capabilities;
- A complete abandonment of the reception of any fluid or brake
terminates processes of putrefactive fermentation in the gastro-
gastrointestinal tract;
- PSG is an effective way to reduce excess
weight of obese people (an average of 1 kg per day);
- GSN reduces elevated levels of metabolism, which is celebrated
patients, long-term chronic illnesses;
- GSN enhances circulation of the skin,
causing them to turn red, opens pores in the skin, strengthens
the process of cutaneous respiration, increases the threshold for cold perception,
promotes the uptake of condensed moisture
140
140through the respiratory system and skin during outdoor activities,
especially in the evening and night hours;
- PSC strengthens the processes of recovery of abnormal body
and pathologically altered cells, deposits of cholesterol on
the walls of blood vessels, soften deposits of tartar
in the oral cavity, as well as deposits of stones in the tissues and Interior
organs (gall bladder, kidneys, joints);
- PSG normalizes blood pressure, as well as activities
central nervous system and autonomic nervous system,
improves tissue respiration and tissue metabolism;
- GSN enhances reparative processes in the human body for
through internal reserves and resources of the body, improves
conductivity and permeability of nerve impulses (including
trophic) to various tissues and organs;
- PSG activates the body processes remove toxic
metabolites and exo-and endotoxins;
- PSG can be performed for patients like yourself at home
conditions and under the supervision of instructors and other professionals
owning technology PSG (in a sanatorium institutions
resort-style and the hotel and medical complexes);
- PSG technique allows its use in infectious
diseases (acute viral hepatitis in the acute and long form
chronic hepatitis), cancer (adenomas
prostate and uterine cancer), severe somatic
diseases (asthma, hereditary-degenerative
nervous system diseases, coronary heart disease)
inflammatory diseases (prostatitis, myocarditis, and many
others). Comment. The main advantage of this method is
that the most therapeutic second acidotic crisis, we can pass
immediately upon passage, lasted ten full dry
starvation. Accordingly, a very good therapeutic effect, but
Fasting is to be held outdoors, in a clean
locations and under the supervision of a physician, vladeyuschegom this technique. Disadvantage: modern humans body so full of
toxins and wastes, that they may not perish from hunger and from the powerful
intoxication. When a person begins to starve, all
slag, "rassovannye" by nook body come
in motion. They begin to act like an avalanche in the blood, changing
its physiological constants. Only one thing that causes seizures
malaise, lethargy, general soreness. Organs of excretion are not
time to remove toxins and poisons from the bloodstream. Included
all the organs of excretion: kidney, nasopharynx, gastrointestinal
tract, skin. As a result, the urine is turbid, dirty, aching
in the kidneys and bladder. Chair becomes fluid, stomach aches. Appear profuse discharge from the nose as a cold. Leather
covered with a rash, acne, and even boils. This is a very
141
141unpleasant, and in some cases even life threatening. Arises
blockade, the body can not adapt to starvation. Usually this
occurs for 4-8 days. Stop starving to lose weight, increases
weakness, nausea, headache,
there is heart failure and arrhythmia. These are the main symptoms
blockade (severe intoxication). in such cases, we have
interrupt the fasting, sit on the juice, vegetable diet, then
again repeated fasting. Therefore, go directly to a starvation diet, no exercise and good
high-quality cleansing, very, very difficult. DRY ON CASCADE Starvation VP LA VROVOY
(This technique is described in detail in chapter historical information about
dry limotherapy)
Comment. The advantage of this technique - the ideal
training and preparing the body to dry starvation. Such
Fasting can be done independently at home
There are practically no complications. Very good effect
rejuvenate the body, great help for acute painful
states in the initial stages of the disease. Disadvantages. As I wrote to get a good medical
effect from any form of starvation, especially in severe chronic
diseases is necessary to pass certain stages of healing
starvation. It is primarily the first and second acidotic crises. If figuratively to express very great importance of these crises, if
first acidotic crisis resolves "stem disease, the second-
destroy the "root disease". During the dry cascade fasting for passage
second acidotic crisis must hold a cascade five five
approximately two months to a year. I know a doctor who cured
his blood cancer, spending a cascade of five in five for a year. Not
every modern man can find so much time, will
and patience. DRY FRACTIONAL Starvation
(Method of SC and SI FILONOV V A)
Background of the method (SFG)
Given the advantages and disadvantages of these techniques, stage
fasting, we tried to take the best. Very much
helped create the SFG technique of fractional fasting
Dr. GA V oitovich. Under fractional fasting necessary
understand a series of interrupted fasting, some of which have
duration from first to second acidotic crisis,
and the latter ends only upon the occurrence of hunger
and purification of the language. Fractional starvation
The author of the fractional method of fasting, GA V oitovich explains
142
142the essence of this method. Physiological period of starvation Rights 40-50
days. In the first stage takes half of the period of physiological
Hunger - 20 days. After that hunger should be restorative
nutrition, which continues a half times longer - 30 days. If a person eats only plant foods, the effect of starvation
continues during meals (not extinguished biosynthesis


getting older looking and you are better than ever in the last ten years? Be ready. Asian women, over two million Japanese, three million
Chinese, countless Philippine, Vietnamese, and Korean will say
"I care for my skin and hair naturally." For skin you will find that your radiance will show in 24 to 48 hours. Wrinkles will shrink in the first 48 hours to three months
with minimum of 5 days per week usage. Dark or "age" spots will start vanishing in one month. Moles, birth marks may lighten or vanish dependent on largeness and age. As to hair. Your sheen will become brilliant in a few days. Manageability should come in a week. Your gray hair should be gone in six months. Eyes should have new warm urine soaked cotton pads
placed in the eye socket and left for ten to fifteen minutes. This will tighten your skin around your eyes
and rid your crows feet without plastic surgery. Cataracts have been shown to dissolve
if you allow some drops to fall into the eyeball daily. Please understand that dependent on how acidic or salty your
urine is and how old it is by minutes will determine if there will
be a stinging feeling in the eye. Just remember there has been found no
future problem if the urine is used warm and new. Only a stinging sensation when over ten minutes or salty because of eating
meat or drinking alcohol, sodas or sugar products. Yes, I almost forgot if you have breathing constrictions, asthma,
just put your nose close to a cup of urine and sniff the Aroma. Better yet, put a few sprays from a mist bottle. Don't have a mist bottle or sprayer? Somehow get a few drops into your nasal passage
by way of a pipette dropper or a cotton ball and just lay down
and squeeze it into your nasal passage. 23 Neeb soft banbs;
Wash them every morning after you showered off your nightcap and facial. Remember you need not use soap on your face or hands. Just rinse off. It's sterile, it's clean, it's free and as natural as you can get. Now the "washing of your hands in the morning and also evening will give
you very soft skin to the touch usually after one week. { Unless you are an auto mechanic. Give it two weeks}. Just keep the understanding of when you were totally submerged
in the amniotic fluid before birth. Now the Cueme De La Cueme. As you read you will not believe till you try. Many cosmetic companies have tried. I can't release names of who
produces this but many products of creams are urine derivatives. Just slap on PURE WARM NEW URINE as a cologne or perfume. The skin match will allow your pheromones to go into high drive. This is something all cosmetic companies have tried to do for decades. They never could because all skin hormone release is different, private. Different strokes for different folks. All personal. All Dedicated scents. { Pheromones are hormonal releases that attract the opposite sex.} 24

I came across a book for which I realize is one of the most read books on
urine therapy of someone who truly had serious problems. She became a practitioner and had the most impressive good health return
to her. The book is entitled, "Your Own Perfect Medicine" by Martha Christy. She has an interesting story to tell. Ms. Christy was very sick for a very long time. Pelvic inflammatory disease,
ulcerative colitis, Chron's disease, chronic fatigue syndrome,
Hashimoto's disease, mononucleosis. She had severe kidney infections, two miscarriages, chronic cystitis,
severe candida, endometriosis, adrenal insufficiency, serious chronic ear
and sinus infections and food and chemical allergies. She had every possible medical test, many surgeries, and a deluge of
drugs. Then she tried all forms of alternative therapy such as Homeopathy, herbs,
mega-vitamins, juicing and liv-cell treatments in Mexico. After traditional medicine failed to work, she and her husband spent more
than $100,000.00 trying to get her well with alternative approaches. Nothing
worked. her husband found and brought home a small book that told of how many
people throughout the world had been cured of even the worst diseases
with a seemingly strange and secretive natural therapy. Soon afterwards, she began the therapy herself. From the first day she began, she received almost instantaneous relief
from her incurable constipation and fluid retention. Within a week, her severe abdominal and pelvic pain vanished. Her chronic cystitis an~ yeast infections (internal and external)
soon disappeared. Her food allergies, exhaustion, and digestive problems all began to heal. In only a few months, her colds, flu, sore throats and viral symptoms
disappeared. 26 Her hair had fallen out in clumps after her fifth surgery now became thick
and lustrous while her weight normalized, and her energy and strength
came back. After nearly 30 years of non-stop illness, Martha Christy was whole again. What was the therapy and methods that she had discovered? What was this therapy that can help seriously ill patients gain complete
remissions from their afflictions? What was it that she actually did? Well, she orally, topically and medicinally re-consumed her own urine. You must understand and recompile what society has taught us and now
realize that urine is not the substance we think it is. In Christy's book she explains...
Urine is not, the excess water from food and liquids that goes through the
intestines and is released from the body as "waste". When you eat, the food is eventually broken down in the stomach and
intestines into molecules. The molecules are then absorbed into tiny tubules in the intestinal wall and
finally passed through the tubes into the blood stream. The blood circulation of your body carries these food molecules and other
nutrients, along with critical immune defense and regulating elements, red
and white blood cells, antibodies, plasma, microscopic proteins,
hormones, enzymes, etc., which are all manufactured at different locations
in the body. The circulating blood then passes through the liver where toxins are
removed and later excreted from the body in the form of solid waste. Eventually, this now purified blood continues on to the kidneys. Blood enters the kidneys and is filtered through a complex and intricate
system of minute tubules called nephron through
