In our time the greatest contribution to the development of a method of dry treatment
starvation, brought LA Shchennikov ("Healing abstinence from
fluids and food) and VP Lavrov. ("Dry Cascade starvation"). I
tried to more clearly describe these methods.
The method of healing abstinence LA Shchennikova not hearsay
known in many cities, not only Russia but also abroad.
LA Shchennikov - professor of alternative medicine
naturopath, healer. For over 30 years proves
high efficiency of the healing of abstinence on cellular

Curative abstinence - is a systematic method for
healing from various ailments and spiritual development. Uniqueness
method of healing not only abstinence is that it is available
all, but that he reveals the secrets of existence and health

In the new millennium, this work is undeniable will help on the way
to health, development and improvement and will open for the person
new horizons for possible implementation in their lives. How to get rid
from illnesses, to know yourself? How to harmonize body, spirit and mind?
The author offers readers new ways of answering these and other
wondering questions. This extraordinary man with a full
Liability claims that our health and life depend
only on ourselves, that there are no incurable diseases,
and encourages all not to believe, but check out these words!
For example, here is how patients respond LA Shchennikova,
invented the method of complete dry fasting (Patent number 2028160 on

issued a special certificate for the right to work as
bioenergotherapist for the number 1068.

About how Leonid A. Shchennikov came to technique
dry fasting, he tells himself.
- From an early age, I thought about what life is? One lives
70-80 years old, the other - 100. Hence, the secret of longevity is hidden somewhere? I
he decided to look into this. He studied anatomy, worked in a hospital,

79fond of homeopathy, absorbing folk wisdom. in 1971
decided to proceed on the path of self-discovery. Decided to live by the principle
- The worse the better. Every day, I taught my body to the cold, and
stomach - to famine. In the morning, winter and summer, regardless of the weather, pour
body with cold water. Accustomed to starve without a fluid through a 3-day
fourth. Then, for 5 consecutive days. in March 1981 for the first time fasting
10 days without fluid. Moisture received during the night from the air, and a day
assimilated it through the skin, periodically sitting in the water like a frog.
Lost 20 kg weight, recovered a week later. I was so young again,
that people did not recognize me. Most of Prolonged starvation
I've survived, lasted 18 days, it's more world record
entered in the Guinness Book of Records.
Here is a description of the dry cascade of starvation by the author -
contactee Valentina Lavrov (from the book "Keys to the mysteries
life ")
The era of immortality without vegetable diets and fasts do not pull
anyone, even God. And, as he put it, he will be with his people
on living sources, ie, to monitor the health promotion will
personally. One way to prevent such a cascading
starvation. It's good for beginners and experienced. Firstly,
necessary to understand such a rule: before you start to starve, it is better
a few days to sit on the plant diet, not eating
no protein foods of animal origin. Fish, too
deleted. Food should be purely vegetative, as advised
Great post. Even without fasting, if you frequently
sit on such diets, much of his body straighten.
Especially good clean container of porridge, cooked in water and oil-free,
even a vegetable. in large quantities, it is also harmful. Why
More should be applied along with the vegetable diet on fasting
30, 60 days? One without the other is not. In order not to develop the hungry
genes. And they can develop, and then your fasting will not be saved. Will
eat much. Much good they will not only harm, in addition, more fear
appear. After one or two samples, stop. So everything must be
be complex.
The first step of a cascade of fasting. Cascade starvation
carried out without water. To begin to master the first step.
Day by day. What does this mean? You'll need some time
eat in a day. a hungry day does not use water. But
before that day should be drunk. At such a stage can hold
indefinitely. It can be combined with a vegetable diet. Even
if you hang on a month, you get 15 days of fasting.
The second stage of the cascade of fasting will require you to eat
two days after two, etc. Also in the hungry days of not drinking water. But
there must already hold the golden rule. How to go out
fasting? After these two days should drink water, then through
a couple of hours to begin to eat with yogurt. The food should be protein,
but

.
The quicker and stronger the strings grow and the sooner the saliva
sinks, the more Candida i s in the sample. If there are no strings and the
saliva is still floating after one hour the test is negative, Candida may still
be present in other parts of the body. It may be eliminated from the mouth
by swishing diluted Lugol's solution or CDH for seve ral minutes in the
mouth.
Urine therapy
Urine is used in many cultures and  is especially effective against
disorders of the immune system, including infections, allergies,
autoimmune diseases and others. Urine contains antibodies and immune
stimulating factors against all microbes in our body. To switch off an
allergic reaction use urine collected during or after the reaction. Put a few
drops of straight or diluted urine under the tongue and  keep it in the
mouth for a few minutes.
For the Universal Remedy  mix 2 drops of urine and 1 tablespoon of water
in a small (dropper) bottle by shaking for ten seconds with a strong
downwards movement. Whenever you feel sick put several drops under
the tongue every 2 waking hours. Make a new remedy every week,
usually no refrigeration required.
Another meth od is to dilute a spoonful of morning urine with 5 to 10 times
the amount of non -chlorinated water. Shake 20 to 40 times with a sharp 64
 downward stroke. Drink immediately or take a spoonful several times
during the day; keep in the mouth for a while before s wallowing. For more
information, see:  Urine and Urea Therapy.
ANTIMICROBIAL PROGRAM
Systemic antimicrobial therapy involves cleaning the bloodstream, lymph
fluid, and internal organs of pathogenic microbes. With caution even
small children can be treated but do not use high doses during
pregnancy, if in doubt consult a naturopath.
From the wide range of available antimicrobials,  I have made  a selection
of remedies with a good track record in natural medicine especially in
regard to antifungal properties. Unfortunately,  most of them are under
attack by health authorities in various countries, and you just need to go
with those that you can ob tain.
Two good fungicides, mainly for external use, are sodium thiosulphate
and copper salicylate. See Copper and Zin c Salicylates.
Other useful remedies that may be used in addition are propolis, extract
of Neem leaves, and the oils of tea tree, Neem tree, cinnamon,
eucalyptus, lavender, mustard, oregano or thyme. You may ingest 1 or 2
drops of dil uted essential oils four times daily. Also try direct treatment of
affected areas, such as douching, gargling, enemas and skin
applications.
It is advisable to alternate between different remedies in cycles from daily
to weekly and longer. With this rotat ion it is less likely that microbes will
become treatment resistant. Also, if a strain of microbes is resistant to
one of the remedies it may be eliminated with one of the others.
Further, instead of using high doses of any one remedy you may try
moderate  amounts of several different remedies taken at different times
at the same day, and you may also continue taking fresh raw garlic.
However, in the beginning it is preferable for a while to build up to a high
dose of a strong remedy to dislodge or eliminat e microbes protected by
biofilms or in other poorly accessible areas.   65
 Depending on the severity of your symptoms you may continue this
systemic therapy for one to two months, or until you feel that your
microbe -related problems have disappeared or are un der control. Then
you may continue for a much longer time with a reduced maintenance
dose. If symptoms come back at a later time, then just repeat a high -
dose therapy.
The recommended dosages are for average body weight, overweight
individuals may take s omewhat more and underweight individuals or
children somewhat less. These remedies may not be suitable in high
doses during pregnancy, in this case consult a health professional. For
maintenance you may use half the indicated amounts and may have
periodic breaks from therapy to see if microbes remain under control.
It is common to experience occasional bouts of diarrhoea during
antimicrobial therapy. This may be from die -back reactions of Candida
and other microbes, but it may also be from toxins released b y the liver.
Often this can be associated with headaches and intestinal discomfort.
In this case make an attempt to clean the intestinal tract with psyllium,
garlic and lots of water, and also with enemas and possibly colonics. The
quicker you get such irr itating toxic material out of your system the better.
Iodine Therapy
Iodine is an excellent fungicide. It helps to prevent and remove internal
cysts and  is especially important with breast cancer or breast problems
in general. Most commonly used is Lugol's solution. At full -strength it
contains 10% potassium iodide and 5% iodine. Each drop has 6.5 mg of
iodine/iodide.
If you buy a weaker iodine solution then  take more drops than for the
standard solution. Iodoral tablets available in the US have 13 mg
iodine/iodide per tablet. Iosol, an iodine/ammonium iodide remedy, has
1.8 mg of iodine/iodide per drop.
Before starting take a drop to test your reaction. This  may happen when
on thyroid medication, or with goitre or an overactive thyroid. In this case,
start with ¼ to ½ drop and increase only very slowly.  66
 With the standard program you gradually increase up to 10 drops of
Lugol's solution 3 times daily with foo d or drink. You may use water,
warm, but not hot, coffee or tea, but avoid antioxidants for an hour before
or after taking Lugol’s. Continue for 3 weeks with the full dose, but
interrupt or reduce while you experience a reaction. After 3 weeks,
continue wi th 1 or 2 drops daily more or less indefinitely. See: Iodine  for
more information.
MMS – Sodium Chlorite
Acidified sodium chlorite (NaClO2) is one of the strongest broad -range
microbicides. In solution it is very alkaline and stable but when acidified
it forms unstable chlorous acid and chlorine dioxide gas (ClO2) with
strong oxidising effects. I prefer using  MMS therapy periodically, e.g., for
several weeks gradually increasing the daily amounts and frequency up
to the tolerated limit, and then decreasing again to a rest period while at
the same time increasing other antimicrobials. Jim Humble prefers
continuo us high -dose MMS treatment. For Jim’s protocols see
mmswiki.is/index.php/Main_Page  or any other of his websites.
As part of the systemic therapy,  you may start taking 1 or 2 drops of
MMS, gradually inc reasing this up to a maximum of 15 drops daily or until
some nausea develops. In this case you may cut back by 2 drops and
stay at this level for several days until increasing again by 1 drop a day.
Generally,  it is better to have some food in the stomach. One can also
absorb the gas from the mouth or the rectum and this usually does not
cause nausea.
An alternative method for intensifying the antimicrobial program or for
overcoming an acute infection is by ta king 3 to 4 drops of acidified and
diluted MMS every hour or every 2 hours for several days. Temporarily
reduce the dose if nausea occurs.
In all cases mix the MMS with five times the number of drops of lemon
or lime juice or white vinegar. Commonly a mor e effective 10% solution
of citric acid in water has been used but this causes more nausea and 67
 instead an equal number of drops of MMS and 4% hydrochloric acid
(HCl) may be used.
Three minutes after adding the weaker acids or 20 -30 seconds after
adding th e HCl dilute with half a glass of water, herb tea, or juice without
added vitamin C, e.g., apple or grape juice but not orange juice. Do not
take any antioxidant supplements close to MMS; best keep them 3 or
more hours apart.
To quickly stop nausea,  you ma y take 1000 mg or more of vitamin C, but
this also stops the anti -microbial activity. To avoid or minimize oxidative
damage I recommend taking MMS only in the morning and evening or
only once a day and use a combination of antioxidants, including vitamin
C, at lunchtime or several hours away from the MMS. To minimize
unpleasant side effects,  try to alkalize the body before going on a course
of MMS.
The main danger after a high dose of MMS is from low blood pressure
and hypoglycaemic shock caused by fluid lo ss after vomiting and
diarrhoea. If this should happen take immediately a high dose of vitamin
C to stop the reaction, lie down, and drink lots of lightly salted and
sweetened water. A general recommendation for rehydrating after
vomiting and


 of the Tao. Wu Wei is doing nothing, but everything hap-
pens. My first experience of the valley orgasm took me and my
lover by surprise, probably because we expected the Taoist eso-
teric methods of love making to be like the deep solo meditative
experiences both of us had experienced for a number of years
before we became lovers. During the valley orgasm I felt like I was
in two places at once. My body was imploding and fusing inwardly,
while my awareness was expanding outwards into larger energy
fields and subtle realms of being impossible to describe.
I found it amazing the way my body seemed to take its cues
from my lover's body. My entire body started to vibrate rapidly at
the same speed as hers and stayed attuned for some minutes. De-
spite the orgasmic intensity, my body temperature was neither hot
nor cold, but even and pleasant. It was very different from my
previous meditative practice which stimulated the kundalini energy
to rise in a column of hot electric yang energy and led to explosive
opening of my crown or third eye centers. It would sometimes putOrgasm and Wu Wei 185
me into a trance where I forgot I even had a body. My conscious
mind would shut down while my body raced to absorb the high
dose of subtle yang energy.
The point I'm trying to make in describing such a subtle and
subjective personal experience is that Taoist cultivation teaches
balanced meditation in all the body's tan tiens (or chakras). This is
considered the most stable marriage of yin and yang—the cooler
grounding lower centers receiving the heat from the expanding
higher centers, the classical mixture of fire and water. This is the
middle path of the Tao—staying grounded in your body while on a
lifetime journey though the subtle energy realms.
The spiritual direction of Taoist dual cultivation is not Sudden
Enlightenment, or astral travel, dissolution in bliss, or fantastic
visions. These might occur as temporary side effects of the prac-
tice. But the main intention of the Taoists aspiring to immortality
was simply to maintain a dynamic balance of energy during the
10,000 ordinary moments of the day. The Taoists are suspicious of
any transcendental path that claims to be very high and very quick
or that leaves the human body uncared for in the rush to become
divine. Their wisdom is that what counts is an evolution that lasts,
and that such growth usually comes slowly and steadily. The
10,000 daily moments when stretched over 25 years adds up to a
125 million moments, so you have plenty of opportunities to prac-
tice cultivating the your chi over a lifetime. Fortunately, these
millions of moments occur one by one, making the task simpler,
and a bit less imposing.
Many people in the west want 60-second Enlightenment, and
they may well get what they project—Enlightenment that lasts 60
seconds. The Taoist process may seem slow to some with its insis-
tence on circulating higher energies into the lower centers. It seems
much easier to open a third eye and go to the spiritual worlds
directly, without bothering with a clumsy and heavy physical body.
This is the value of the Taoist practice of dual cultivation of sexual
energy. It leads to the acceptance of the ordinary moment, of
human desire, of the never ending sexual impulse, as a valuable in-
the-body way of understanding the Tao.
This emphasis on the ordinary in daily life being an essential
part of the wholeness of the Tao is why the ancient sages did not
live for peak spiritual experiences, or seek an explosive peak
orgasm in sex. This seeking after bliss is like trying to be all yang. It186 Taoist Secrets Of Love
is an extreme state. The valley orgasm is not just a code name for
bliss. It balances the yin energy of our earthly body (and the
Karma, or suffering, it creates) and the bliss of transcending it with
heavenly yang energy. When this bodily suffering and heavenly
bliss are balanced, they cancel each other out. Emptiness is the
result. This is true serenity, remaining empty even as you acknowl-
edge both poles of experience as possibilities. Neither pole con-
trols you, so you are truly free to choose. The desires for bodily
pleasure and spiritual transcendence are born and destroyed every
moment. You remain both empty and full, and life becomes a tai
chi dance. When you experience this, you have tasted enlighten-
ment. When you can stay that way, you are immortal.
PRESERVING POLARITY:
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE YANG?
By Michael Winn
"A Sage will practice the Tao. A fool will only admire it."
Ancient Taoist proverb.
I interviewed several dozen of Master Chia's students in the course
of writing this book with him, and was deeply struck by the dif-
ferences in attitude to sexual cultivation between men and women.
In couples that were practicing the methods taught here, the men
were more fascinated by the energy generated or the states of mind
that might be reached. The women were more concerned to know
that their man loved them; whether or not he succeeded at his
spiritual technique was secondary.
Some women were worried initially that all the time their man
spent doing Taoist exercises and meditations meant less time for
his relationship with her. A few complained that a sense of tech-
nique invaded their love-making. Most admitted that this negative
aspect seemed to disappear as the Taoist semen retention methods
began to work. The love-making grew longer, and the added time
allowed for more tenderness to develop in the relationship.
Other men began doing the Taoist practices and encountered
resistence from their lover over the holding back of ejaculation.
Their women felt that when the man ejaculated, it was a more totalOrgasm and Wu Wei 187
surrender of himself to her and thus more loving. These women
were also concerned that by missing his ejaculation the woman
might somehow be at fault for not bringing him to full conventional
orgasm. Most of this resistance is due to lack of spiritual education,
or may be an unconscious attempt to maintain sexual power over a
man. As one woman explained it to me, "some women get a feeling
that they can possess their man only when he has surrendered by
ejaculating. She isn't consciously aware of the energy equation,
but it may be the way she alleviates her insecurity about his love
for her."
In this kind of relationship the man's ejaculation has become a
kind of football on the sexual playing field. The pattern is one
wheje after the man surrenders his seed, he unconsciously holds
back from her in other ways to conserve his energy and identity.
She unconsciously senses this, and thinking she is strengthening
their relationship encourages him to ejaculate. When he learns the
Taoist method of retaining his seed and moving the energy up
within himself, she resists because she is losing the tangible symbol
of his surrender to her, his semen. Her motives are loving on one
level, but unfortunately they are possessive.
The only remedy for this situation is for the man to share his
experience of increased energy and love with her. Taoist lovemak-
ing is impossible to master if the relationship is poisoned by jeal-
ousy and possessiveness over the exchange of lower sexual en-
ergy. The essence of the process of esoteric love is to transform the
energy up to the heart and spiritual centers before exchanging it
with your lover. This highlights the importance of the man return-
ing to the woman the energy he has received from her during sex. If
he tries to keep it for his own personal ends or projects it out his
third eye into some fantastic vision, he disperses the chi and breaks
the cycle of exchange with her. This is why the Taoists believe it is
better to repay the immediate source of your energy—your lover—
as she can use the higher transformed energy you give her to bal-
ance herself and you.
The energy of the two partners in the relationship begins to
move in an upward spiral, and becomes more exquisitely refined
with each spiral. It eventually expands to embrace friends and
family members in the dynamic. This spiral relationship is actually
expressed in the Taoist symbol of yin/yang circling endlessly
around in a circle. The male energy is directed, like an arrow188 Taoist Secrets Of Love
moving in a straight line. The female energy is rounded and em-
bracing, like an empty circle. When they intersect, the circle em-
braces the straight line and bends it in a spiral. Taoist love-making
is a spiritual ecology system for recycling lower energies into
higher ones, with Enlightenment and Immortality being phases of
the spiralling process when the energies get very pure.
However, most of us, myself included, are still very mortal
and struggling with our ego. Once I leave the small and private
world of sexual intimacy or meditation, my public ego adamantly
refuses to adopt a stance of spontaneous non-action, of Wu Wei,
and keeps insisting I plan ahead for my own self-interest. To ame-
liorate this selfish tendency, I try to focus on serving the ever-
changing balance of subtle energy around me instead of my ego.
My ego is very good at lying to itself and is always getting me into
trouble with its own projections, rationalizations, and hidden agen-
das. Seeing things in terms of their energy encourages a certain
neutrality—I stop struggling to get money or position and look at
what kind of energy the things

disseminated candidiasis (CDC).  In
this article, the authors express their
surprise and they speculate:
"Inadequate treatment is, however,
usually associated with a poor
outcome because of disease
progression or early relapse, and it issurprising that despite minimal
antileukemic treatment, all of our sixpatients with acute leukemia and
CDC are still alive and in completehematologic remission (follow-upbetween 19 months and 14 years).
Therefore, one is prompted to
speculate whether CDC, as a chronic
inflammation, might have positively
affected the continuous complete
remission."
4
I find it incomprehensible how
medical professionals can speculate that the highly
deadly CDC may be the cause of these leukaemia cures
rather than the anti-Candida therapy used to eliminate
CDC.  Recently I had an email communication from one
of the leukaemia patients of Professor Karthaus.  Hewrote that the professor had not mentioned antifungal
treatment to him.  Therefore, it seems that Professor
Karthaus has not yet come to a deeper understanding of
his antifungal experiences.
In addition, much cancer research also
shows that not only the lungs but also the
liver and spleen are frequently damaged by
aggressive candidiasis.  This shows up
especially during leukaemia treatment.  If
patients did not have severe candidiasis as a
pre-existing condition, then they acquired itas a result of chemotherapy.
A long time ago, before I became aware of
the link between Candida and cancer, I also
had a surprise when a patient with stomach
cancer had his big tumour disappear in a few
months after he developed a craving for
benzoic acid and ingested a lot of it.  Benzoic
acid is a common food preservative and a
strong fungicide.
Milton White, MD, believed that cancer is a
"chronic, intracellular, infectious, biologically
induced spore (fungus) transformation
disease".  He found fungal spores in every
sample of cancer tissue that he studied.
5
Medical research shows that curcumin, the
active ingredient in turmeric, is very effective
against cancer cells in many different
cancers, such as bowel, breast, brain and
pancreatic cancer.  One research paper
states:  "Curcumin has been shown to inhibit
the proliferation and survival of almost alltypes of tumor cells."6Another paper lists a large range
of diseases in which curcumin has been shown to be
effective in clinical trials.  These include cancer,
cardiovascular disease, arthritis and many other
inflammatory conditions.  The article states: "How a
single agent can possess these diverse effects has been
an enigma over the years, both for basic scientists and
clinicians."7

Figure 4:  Hyphal Candida cells
(Source:  Roberts Lab, School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences,
University of Washington, http://tinyurl.com/zcvfbgu) However, there is an explanation
which is expressed in this title:
"Curcumin as a promising antifungal
of clinical interest".8
According to my understanding, all
the mentioned diseases againstwhich curcumin is effective haveCandida and other fungi as a primary
or contributing cause.
The antifungal article states that
curcumin was a more potent remedy
against some fungi than fluconazole,
the main medical fungicide.  It wasvery effective against Candida albicans!
Yet in none of the research papers did
I see any mention that the strong
fungicidal properties of curcumin
may have something to do with its
anticancer effects.
There is not much research into the
relationship between antibiotic use,the main cause of Candida
overgrowth, and cancer, but a paper
on breast cancer concludes:  "Use of
antibiotics is associated withincreased risk of incident and fatalbreast cancer."
9
There are many more articles and
scientific research papers on theInternet about the close association
between cancer and fungi.
A very encouraging recent
breakthrough is the publication inthe prestigious journal Nature of an
article showing that hyphal Candida
and other fungi have been found in
all investigated cases of Alzheimer’s
disease.  These fungi were not only indifferent parts of the brain but also inblood vessels.
10
This can give us hope that after
decades of ignoring the role of
antibiotics and fungi in the causation
and treatment of cancer, there will
now be some research money madeavailable for exploring this link.
In the meantime, cancer patients
already have the choice to use
antifungal therapies in natural
medicine instead of the methods ofmainstream medicine that do not
address the underlying causes and so
leave the door open forconventionally treated cancers to
come back.  ∞

ide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease
The chemical chaperones in the cytosol normally unfold substrate proteins prior
to their translocation across the lysosomal membrane, but when this process is aber -
rant, DMSO administration, acting a chemical chaperone, may induce CMA and
exert a protective effect toward the cell’s survival (see also Chapter 1, “DMSO as a Chemical Chaperone”).
For example, DMSO appears to have a beneficial role in inducing autophagy as
a chemical chaperone by reducing free fatty acid–induced hepatic fat accumulation in a dose-dependent manner.
138 Treatment with 0.01% DMSO for 16 h significantly
reduced palmitate-induced triglyceride accumulation in rat hepatocytes.138 This
effect by DMSO was postulated to result from the downregulation of the ATF4/AKT1 pathway, a stress-induced transcription factor that is overexpressed in many cancers and is an important mediator of the unfolded protein response.
138,139
DIURESIS
DMSO is a powerful diuretic when used intravenously. A fivefold increase in urine excretion as compared to saline controls is seen after 1 h of 40% DMSO IV given at 2.5 g/kg in dogs with spinal cord trauma.
127 In rats, DMSO given topically five times
daily increased urine volume 10-fold.140 The brisk diuretic response to 40% DMSO
infusion has been seen in patients treated for high intracranial pressure secondary to head injury.
141 Diuresis after high doses of DMSO is accompanied by electro -
lyte changes involving sodium and potassium excretion,142 but these changes can be
minimized by reducing excessive DMSO fluid overload and by carefully monitoring electrolytes after high and repeated dosing with DMSO.
143
These collective findings suggest that DMSO merits clinical evaluation as a
potent and primary treatment when diuresis is indicated in water retention for such conditions as cirrhosis, acute or chronic renal failure, nephrotic syndrome, and con -
gestive heart failure.
CHOLINESTERASE INHIBITION
DMSO is reported to inhibit the isolated and innervated guinea pig atrium following incubation in a bath mimicking the action of neostigmine by lowering the vagal thresh -
old to electrical stimulation.
144 It was found that this action by DMSO at doses of 0.01–1.0
mol/L incubated for 30 min  in the guinea pig atrium bath was able to inhibit erythro -
cyte cholinesterase, the enzyme that breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.144
The cholinesterase inhibitory activity by DMSO could reasonably target the low -
ering of high blood pressure, bronchoconstriction, and intraocular pressure. Despite their annoying gastrointestinal effects, cholinesterase inhibitors are also used in treat -
ing the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease,
138 a disorder where DMSO dose adjustment
could avoid the gastrointestinal side effects seen with stronger cholinesterase drugs. This aspect of DMSO therapy will be more fully discussed in Chapter 8.
DMSO was studied at the neuromuscular junction of the frog cutaneous pectoris
using electrophysiological techniques and found to elevate the amplitude of extra -
cellularly recorded miniature end-plate potentials as well as the time constant of their monoexponential decay. These findings indicated that DMSO partially blocked 37 DMSO in Basic Pharmacology
cholinesterase activity and the presynaptic action of acetylcholine release,145 an
action that has been confirmed on a variety of invertebrate muscles.146
SOLVENT ACTION
DMSO is a solvent for many aromatic and unsaturated hydrocarbons as well as inor -
ganic salts and nitrogen-containing compounds. This ability to act as a universal
solvent may be due to DMSO’s high dielectric constant due to the polarity of the sulfur–oxygen bond.
DMSO has been shown to carry physostigmine and phenylbutazone through the
skin of the rat. Moreover, there  is evidence that DMSO enhances the percutaneous
absorption of many other compounds, including steroids, vasoconstrictors, antiper -
spirants, and various dyes.
147–149 Additionally, DMSO has been mixed with skin anti -
septics such as hexachlorophene, the anthelmintic thiabendazole, and both estrogens and corticoids, which, when applied topically in DMSO, exerted their characteristic biologic effect in immature female rats.
150,151
There are thousands of compounds used in pharmacology research that have been
reported to be solubilized in varying concentrations of DMSO. Balakin et al.152 have
compiled a comprehensive reference database of proprietary data on compound solu -
bility and shown that, as of 2004, 55,277 organic compounds possess good DMSO solubility and 10,223 organic compounds possess poor DMSO solubility.
One caveat when using DMSO as a solvent in testing the activity of a drug as a
potential treatment is the singular action exerted by DMSO, which, in some cases, may show more activity than the drug being tested.
76 This error, of course, can be
easily avoided by testing DMSO alone as a control during the testing procedure, but it does not avoid the error that the inclusion of DMSO in the drug preparation may synergistically enhance and improve the experimental drug’s effect by increasing its penetration into the lesion site or by prolonging its kinetic distribution.
VETERINARY USES
DMSO has been approved for two veterinary products in the United States. Domoso (90% DMSO) is indicated for acute swelling in dogs and horses, which can be applied as a gel or liquid preparation. Synotic is 60% DMSO and 0.01% fluocinolone acetonide, indicated for the relief of pruritus and inflammation associated with acute and chronic otitis in the dog or horse. The majority of veterinary reports published on the use of DMSO in animals concern horses and dogs.
Many of the injuries seen in horses have been successfully treated with DMSO
especially when edema and inflammation are involved in the lower extremities. Some conditions amenable to DMSO treatment include tendonitis, periosteal involvement of metacarpal bones, osteoarthritis, bursitis, open wound infections, and traumatic injuries involving tissue swelling and hemorrhage. The usual treatment dose for these
equine conditions is 1 g/kg body weight intravenously of DMSO in a 40% solution
with a maximum duration of treatment of 5 days.
153
DMSO has been used for open wounds in horses where it appeared to stimu -
late healthy granulation of the wound within the first few days.154 The granulation 38 Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease
tissue after a 2-week course of DMSO three times/day was reduced to normal within
30 days.154
Endotoxemia is a severe and ubiquitous disease in horses receiving IV lipopoly -
saccharide. IV DMSO at 1 g/kg body weight improved the effect of lipopolysaccha -
ride on fever.155
In a double-blinded, crossover, paired study with a 1-week washout period, mid-
carpal joints in horses with acute inflammation were topically treated with DMSO gel 15 g at 90%, which was seen to penetrate in the synovial fluid by the use of gas chromatography in sufficient quantities to decrease joint inflammation.
156
Fungal infection in the eyes of horses has been treated with DMSO in combination
with antifungal agents. Horses with keratomycoses were given DMSO–  i traconazole
0.25 mL of a 1% itraconazole with 30% DMSO in a petrolatum-based ointment every 4 h for 16–53 days, and it was seen that 8 of 10 eyes treated with this mixture resolved completely.
157
DMSO has been used in small animal practice mostly involving dogs. The con -
ditions that are reported to be helped by DMSO include traumatic edema, sprains, tendonitis, intervertebral disk disease, mastitis, and soft tissue inflammatory problems.
158
Uveitis was induced in dogs by intracameral injection of canine lens protein,
and after DMSO application, intraocular pressure and fibrin production were decreased after treatment possibly from the antagonism of DMSO to lipoxygenase formation.
159
One interesting report concerns the anecdotal use of DMSO for 2 years in a
dog diagnosed with hypoalbuminemia, proteinuria, and renal amyloidosis. Two years after the initiation of DMSO treatment, the 24 h urinary protein excretion returned to normal, while serum albumin concentrations increased to within nor -
mal range.
160 These findings would need to be replicated in a larger study but may
serve as a clue of the ability of DMSO to act as a chemical chaperone in protracted disorders such as renal amyloidosis, a progressive and fatal disease that is difficult to treat or cure.
TERATOLOGY AND LD50
The intraperitoneal administration of 5.5 g/kg of DMSO as a single dose to pregnant hamsters induced developmental malformations of their embryos.


	be	alive,	to	have	food	on
their	table,	to	enjoy	the	sun	on	a	beautiful	day,	to	have	their	health,	their
friends,	their	family,	and	to	be	a	contributing	member	of	their	community.
At	the	same	time,	I	was	always	amazed	by	the	lack	of	gratefulness	in	the
hearts	of	so	many	who,	in	a	material	sense,	had	so	much.	If	you	were	to	ask
me	which	of	the	two	were	happier,	without	hesitation,	I	would	say	the	poor
with	gratefulness	in	their	hearts.
What	I	am	talking	about	here	is	very	simple:
When	we	focus	on	abundance,	our	life	feels	abundant;	when	we	focus
on	lack,	our	life	feels	lacking.	It	is	purely	a	matter	of	focus.
It	is	true	that	we	can’t	be	in	denial	about	the	pain	in	our	life.	That	is	damaging
to	our	physical	and	emotional	health.	And	just	as	importantly,
We	can’t	be	in	denial	about	the	abundance	in	our	life!
I	suggest	that	you	create	a	“Book	of	Abundance”	for	yourself.	Each	nightbefore	you	go	to	bed,	jot	down	at	least	50	wonderful	things	that	happened	to
you	that	day.	“Fifty	things,	Susan!	I	can	hardly	think	of	three!”	Obviously,
you	have	not	been	noticing	the	blessings	in	your	life!	The	purpose	of	this
exercise	is	to	help	you	do	so.	Some	of	the	items	you	can	include	are:
My	car	started	•	I	am	able	to	walk	•	I	have	food	to	eat
	•
Someone	paid
me	a	compliment
	•
My	kids	haven’t	gotten	into	any	trouble	today
	•
I	felt
the	sun’s	warmth	on	my	face
	•
I	spoke	to	one	of	my	best	friends	•	The
flowers	are	starting	to	bloom
	•
I	have	hot	water	in	my	shower
	•
I’m
breathing	•	The	sun	came	out
The	items	in	your	Book	of	Abundance	do	not	have	to	be	splashes	of
brilliance.	In	fact,	it	is	better	if	they	are	not.	Always	keep	in	mind	that	if	we
focus	only	on	the	splashes	of	brilliance,	so	much	of	our	life	will	seem	drab…
which	it	definitely	is	not!	Take	breathing,	for	example.	Isn’t	it	incredibly,
wildly	extraordinary?!
In	the	beginning,	finding	these	50	things	to	be	grateful	for	may	take	a	LONG,
LONG	time.	Soon,	however,	the	blessings	will	pour	easily	onto	the	paper.
That	is	because	you	will	spend	much	of	the	day	LOOKING	FOR	the
blessings	in	your	life	so	that	you	will	have	new	material	to	add	to	your	Book
of	Abundance	that	night.	And	you	will	find	them!	The	benefits	are	obvious…
As	you	start	looking	for	the	good,
your	focus	automatically	is	taken	off
the	bad…and	you	feel	blessed!
If	you	can	make	noticing	the	abundance	a	habit,	your	life	will	be	transformed!
I	remember	sitting	with	my	mom	in	her	living	room	on	a	cold,	dreary	winter
day	just	months	before	she	died.	She	was	in	much	pain	and	was	feeling	very
weak.	At	one	point	when	I	was	in	pain	about	her	pain,	she	looked	at	me	and
said,	“It’s	cold	outside…I’m	warm	and	cozy	inside.	My	daughter	is	here…
sometimes	you	get	lucky.”
Wow!	I	was	focusing	on	her	pain.	She	was	focusing	on	her	blessings.	Thanks,
Mom,	for	that	beautiful	lesson!

Learning	about	and	understanding	the	concept	of	gratitude	has	been	a	lifelong
process.	I	was	fortunate	to	be	born	into	a	family	who	believed—even	though
times	were	hard	and	we	didn’t	always	have	much	in	the	way	of	worldly	goods
—that	if	you	were	grateful	for	what	you	had,	God	would	always	provide	the
rest.	And,	of	course,	we	always	had	what	we	needed	plus	a	little	more	that
could	be	shared.
Both	my	ideas	and	understanding	of	the	concept	of	gratitude	have	grown	and
expanded	through	the	years.	As	a	child,	sitting	between	my	parents	in	church
on	Sunday	mornings,	I	often	heard	these	words	read	from	scripture:
“In
everything	give	thanks!”
	And	my	young	mind	responded	with:	“Yes,	one
needs	to	be	grateful	for	every	good	thing	that	happens	in	one’s	life.”	From
time	to	time,	through	the	years	of	my	youth,	those	words	replayed	in	my
consciousness,	and	I	learned	to	be	grateful	for	many	obvious	things.	I
expressed	gratitude	for	gifts	received,	kindnesses	bestowed,	educational
opportunities	not	anticipated,	and	all	the	good	times	and	friends	I	experienced
in	the	course	of	living.
As	a	young	farm	wife,	I	learned	to	be	grateful	for	wondrous	and	simplethings,	such	as	the	cooling	rain	that	came	down	on	a	hot	summer’s	day	to	give
our	thirsty	crops	the	moisture	they	needed	so	badly.	And,	one	year,	after	a
sudden	thunder-and	hailstorm	devastated	our	corn	crop,	I	was	even	able	to
feel	gratitude	for	the	meager	crop	insurance	that	would	help	us	survive	our
loss	and	enable	us	to	stay	on	the	farm	another	year.
It	was	easy	to	be	grateful	when,	as	a	young	mother,	I	sent	joyful	and
unbounded	thanks	for	the	precious	gift	of	my	children.	It	was	with	an
overflowing	heart	that	I	cared	for	them	and	watched	them	grow	and
eventually	develop	into	the	beautiful	men	they	have	become.	My	life	was
filled	with	gratitude	for	the	warmth	and	closeness	of	our	family.	There	were
always	so	many	things	to	be	appreciative	of,	and	I	have	often	offered	sincere
prayers	of	gratitude	as	I	counted	my	blessings.
As	an	educator,	I	took	great	pride	and	joy	in	my	work	and	was	always	grateful
that	I	could	labor	at	something	I	loved,	something	that	could	make	a
difference	in	the	world.	I	was	grateful	that	I	could	touch	the	young	lives	of	so
many	children	and	be	the	recipient	of	so	much	love	and	so	many	unlimited
opportunities.	I	did	indeed	feel	blessed.

AUTHORS
This book was written for Y ou! It can be your passport to the
Good Life. W e Professional Nutritionists join hands in one common
objective – a high standard of health for all and many added years
to your life. Scientific Nutrition points the way – Mother Natur e’s
Way – the only lasting way to build a body fr ee of degenerative
diseases and premature ageing. This book teaches you how to work
with Mother Natur e, not against her. Doctors, nurses, and
professional car e givers who care for the sick tr y to repair depleted
tissues, which too often mend poorly – if at all. Many of them
praise the spreading of this message of natural foods and methods
for long-lasting health and youthfulness at any age. This book was
written to speed the spreading of this tremendous message.
Statements in this book are recitals of scientific findings, known
facts of physiology, biological therapeutics and reference to ancient
writings as they are found. Paul C. Bragg faithfully practiced the
natural methods of living for over 80 years with highly beneficial
results, knowing that they were safe and of great value. His daughter
Patricia Bragg worked with him to car ry on the Health Crusades.
They make no specific claims regarding the effectiveness of these
methods for any individual, and assume no obligation for any
opinions expressed in this book.
No cure for disease is offered in this book. No foods or diets are
offered for the treatment or cure of any specific ailment. Nor is it

Experts may disagree with some of the statements made in
this book, particularly those pertaining to the various nutritional
recommendations. However, such statements are considered to
be factual, based upon the long-time experience of Paul C. Bragg
and Patricia Bragg. If you suspect you have a medical problem,


-being to its opposite would be hard to bear!
     When the body is first turned around from advancing cancer (or other chronic diseases)
towards healing, what Dr. Gerson called the healing mechanism  is being activated, and the
immune system begins to kick in. What happens is that the body produces a healing inflammation
and releases toxins from the tissues, producing a massive toxic load that has to be eliminated from
the liver. The process is sometimes accompanied by a healing fever and even spells of depression
and panic. On top of all this the patient may also experience nausea, toxic stools, lack of appetite
and even aversion to food or drink, especially to the green juices. There can also be more gas than
usual, plus difficulties with the coffee enemas (due to increased toxic pressure from the liver).
Without advance warning the patients may feel that their condition is worsening; they are weak,
nauseated, uncomfortable, sometimes even the pain that had been reduced returns to some extent.
What with the risk of depression, which is one of the possible side effects, patients may even
wonder whether the Gerson Therapy is causing their condition to worsen. However, the Gerson
doctor or practitioner, who recognizes these symptoms as signaling a welcome healing reaction,
is able to reassure patients and dispel their panic.
       The first flare-up is usually relatively short, since the body is not yet able to carry out
serious healing in its weakened condition and is only just beginning to respond. But even that
early start can produce impressive results. Along with the attack on malignant tissue, the body
also begins to heal old injuries, fractures, lumpy scars, and serious conditions including long-
standing high blood pressure and even age-onset diabetes.  This process cannot be held back or
stopped, since the body is not able to heal selectively! In other words, it does not only heal the

www.thegersonway.compresent life-threatening disease but also clears up all other damage, whether old or new. That
is what the totality of the Gerson Therapy means. Thanks to it, cancer patients have overcome
allergies, long term migraines, arthritis, fibromyalgia and other conditions that have troubled
them for any length of time.
How do patients react to a flare-up? Only a general answer can be given, based on the
reactions of a majority of cases.  Since each person is different and has a different medical past
with different damages to the body, each healing reaction is also different! Neither is it possible
to give an exact answer to patients who wish to know how long a flare-up will last.  In many
cases the first reaction is mild and only lasts from a few hours to a day or two. The second one
is normally longer and somewhat heavier, since the body and its immune system have to some
extent been detoxified, strengthened with the enzymes and nutrients contained in the raw juices
and supported by the medication, and as a result it is able to respond more powerfully.
In most cases this second flare-up can be expected around the sixth week of the therapy.  The
third reaction occurs usually around 3-3 1⁄2 months into the treatment and is the heaviest one.  But
please remember that this is not a timetable cast in concrete, only what we have observed in a
majority of cases. Reactions are also different in chemotherapy pre-treated patients (see Chapter
18.)
What to do for the patient in a flare-up, who is unwell, upset, dismayed? What NOT to do
is to stop the Therapy, give no coffee enemas or juices, for doing so would drastically stop the
healing process! Yet we must help the patient to endure the discomforts of the flare-ups. Here are
the best ways to do so:
Nausea :  If despite the nausea the patient is able to drink the juices, by all means continue
to provide them. If he or she develops a severe aversion to the green juice, warm it gently
(undiluted) to body temperature by standing the container in a warm water bath, pour the juice in
the enema bucket and infuse it rectally as a retention implant.  This is not an enema and should not
be expelled.  The patient should lie comfortably in bed, with legs pulled up in the fetal position,
and allow the juice to be absorbed. Patients who are temporarily unable to drink any juices can
have them administered rectally (all, except the orange juice), and should be encouraged to drink
warm oatmeal gruel and plenty of peppermint tea, partly to settle the stomach and also to supply
the necessary liquids which would normally be provided by the juices.
To prepare Oatmeal Gruel,  place one ounce of oats and 5 ounces of water into a pot and
bring to a boil. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, then strain through a fine tea strainer, to remove
all solids, but then press the oats as far as possible through the strainer, in order to obtain a liquid
somewhat denser than water. Drink while warm.
For patients severely sensitive to juices during a flare-up, two ounces of gruel can be poured
into a glass and topped with no more than 6 ounces of juice.

www.thegersonway.comPeppermint tea  helps to relieve nausea, digestive discomfort and gas. Peppermint or
spearmint is easy to grow in the backyard and spreads quickly. A heaped tablespoonful of fresh
leaves makes one cup of tea; add boiling distilled water, cover and let steep for 12-15 minutes.
Strain.  If you use tea bags, make sure they are organic. One tea bag easily makes two cups. Or if
you buy loose leaves, which is preferable, put a tablespoonful of leaves in the pot, pour two cups
of boiling distilled water over them, and proceed as above.
It is a good idea to leave peppermint tea in a thermos on the patient’s bedside table, in case
he or she gets thirsty at night.
Pain : Castor oil packs and/or clay packs can be applied locally. (see Chapter 15 ). The patient
will also be weakened and should rest in bed.  Unless he/she has been given heavy doses of
morphine prior to starting the Gerson Therapy, the ‘pain triad’ may be useful, consisting of one
aspirin, one 500 mg tablet of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid, not sodium ascorbate), and one regular
50mg tablet of Niacin.  This triad can be taken every four hours, if needed.  In cases of prior
morphine or other heavy pain-medication, it takes time to clear the body of those drugs,before the
pain triad can become effective.  Keep trying, it will work eventually.
Depression : As mentioned before, it is not unusual for the patient to be depressed, temporarily
lose hope, and even go through lengthy crying jags during a flare-up. Such emotional unloadings
run parallel with the body’s attempts to detoxify: body and mind cannot be separated (see  Chapter
24.) Often an extra enema helps to ease the upheaval. The patient may even pick a fight for no
obvious reason with the caregiver. This is less surprising if we consider the metabolic fact that
aggression produces extra adrenalin, which makes the person actually feel better! The caregiver
should not be hurt by any unwarranted attacks or accusations. The patient cannot control these
outbursts and usually regrets them afterwards.  Again, a coffee enema can clear the problem. This
part of the healing reaction should be seen as a psychological clearing. Once the flare-up is over,
the patient will again be optimistic and forward-looking.
Difficulties with the Coffee Enemas : see Chapter 13, pg.128 )
Fever :  This is a welcome response by the immune system, helping to attack the malignant
tissue.  Do not attempt to stop the fever with aspirin or any other drug.  Simply make the patient
comfortable, placing a damp cloth wrung out in cool (not ice) water on the forehead.  In nearly 30
years we have never seen the body reach a temperature that could damage the brain or the liver,
i.e., in excess of 106 degrees Fahrenheit.  The highest we have seen was 104.6 degrees, which is
uncomfortable but not serious.  Since the body is in charge and the therapy activates healing, the
fever is not produced artificially and the body never heals itself to death!
The above covers ways to ease the general symptoms experienced by the recovering patient.
However, flare-ups can take many different forms.  In one case a lady, recovering very fast from a
wide-spread melanoma, was absorbing tumor tissues rapidly.  One day her son called the hospital

Any kind of evil eye, hex or just people’s envy,
in short, all the negative energy is located in
these pathological zones. During dry fasting the
old ‘dead’ water is replaced with high -quality,
energetically renewed, ‘live’ water, synthesized

 Dry fasting is, first and foremost, intense spir-

of the essences feeding off them, which also

after at least 7 -10 days, negative energy essences,
sensing their death in the absence of food, start
to come out of you, since they can’t stand dry
fasting and positive vibrations radiating from
you. Especially if you support all this with posi-
tive actions. Dry fasting gives you a reserve of
energy.  It seems unbelievable: how can a person
not eat anything, spend their energy, but  still
have increased energy levels? But there’s no par-
adox. When the body is devoid of organic food,
it begins to intensely consume subtle energy
from space and the environment. With transi-
tion to normal nutrition, the hyper -restoration
effect comes into action — the body starts to

fasting, luckily it has all the relevant capabilities
at that point. After all, thanks to fasting the chak-
ras are cleansed along with the energy channels,
which lots of abilitie s depend on. After the end
of a fast, the time of sleep decreases to 4 -5 hours,
a person literally gains strength, they’re boiling
over with energy. This remarkable state lasts for
a long time if a person eats healthy, exercises and
spends time outdoors.

• First of all, the general perception abilities are
greatly increased —  tactile, skin sensitivity
and the sense of smell are heightened, which
produces interesting effects. You’ll be able to
feel through the shop window, to sense the
taste of the foods there, to know that a certain
egg in fridge is already not fresh, to remotely
perceive that there’s something wrong with the
food, which can actually just turn out to be an
excess of preservatives. In pronounced cases of
perception incr ease you’ll have no problems
guessing the contents of a tin with no label on
it.

with a substance, not only does it start to be
absorbed, but you can also feel the taste of the
substance in your mouth. Thus, if you have
to cook food for others during your fast, you
can determine ‘by touch’, if there’s enough
salt in the soup. But I wouldn’t advise you to
knead dough, the oil will be  absorbed by your
hands, rather than by the food.

enhances willpower. Iron -strong determina-
tion is undoubtedly necessary for achieving
success in any difficult undertaking. A 24 -
hour abstinence from food makes a person
mentally stronger and prepares them for
making a prudent choice and then acting
with firm determination.
• Fasting awakens the (often lost) sense of how
much food and water a person really needs to
sustain their life. During abstinence from
food, a person experiences certain suffering.
On the one hand, it naturally develops com-
passion for others suffering from hunger,
with barely enough to sustain oneself. Only

ter fasting it will become thicker and regain
its color.
• If you had poor vision, it often improves after
a dry fast.

9. How to properly prepare your body
for dry fasting?
NOTE:! Never conduct dry fasting without
trying water  fasting first!

9.1. Bowel cleansing. Introduction
You might believe that preliminary cleansing
was invented by all those boring theorists who
don’t understand that people who want to fast
have job s, and are therefore busy. Thus, you start
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frfasting completely unprepared. Inside the colon,
which ends with the anus, in the pockets of the
colon hides a greenish, clay -like substance with
a very unpleasant smell, which is called fecal
stones. It is very hard to rinse out just with water
and over the years it can grow so bulky that it
blocks the passage in the colon, requiring painful
surgery in order to clean out these stones. In
some especially neglected cases, up to 25 kilo-
grams of these stones are taken  out of the pa-
tient’s colon. To be sure, such fasting, without
bowel cleansing, has few benefits. First of all, you
feel strong hunger during fasting all the time.
That’s because fecal masses, fecal stones, and the
juice produced by them, which is being ab sorbed


 and auto-immune diseases such as Crohn's disease and lupus erythematosus.
Every experienced naturopath can relate similar success stories. Ironically, antibiotics are usually not necessary in the ﬁrst place. In a
few per cent of the cases in which they are necessary their serious after effects could easily be avoided using fungicides and
lactobacilli.
Many people doubt the effectiveness of natural therapies against apparently serious infections, but my experience leads me to
believe that frequently natural therapies are more effective, without causing the repeated and chronic infections seen after antibiotics.
I have seen patients who have been unsuccessful on long-term antibiotic treatment recover within days or weeks with natural
therapies.
The Spit T est
A simple Saliva Test for Candida is as follows:
Immediately after rising before you eat or drink anything ﬁll a clear glass with water at room temperature. Spit some saliva into the
glass of water. Then check from time to time for up to an hour to see what happens. If Candida is present, you will see one of three
things, or a combination of these.
1. There may be strings like legs extending down into the water from the saliva ﬂoating on top
2. Cloudy saliva will accumulate at the bottom of the glass
3. Cloudy bits will remain suspended in the water.
The quicker and stronger the strings grow and the sooner the saliva sinks, the more Candida is in the sample. If there are no strings
and the saliva is still ﬂoating after one hour, you probably do not have systemic Candida but may still have a localized problem in the
intestines, the skin or the vagina, and you may still have dysbiosis and infestations of other pathogenic microbes.
Even after systemic Candidiasis has been eliminated the spit test may still remain positive because of fungi living within the mucous
membranes of the mouth which may then regrow in the night. This may be eliminated by repeatedly swishing MMS for several
minutes in the mouth before swallow ing it. Alternatively you may try swishing Lugol's before swallowing, or diluted hydrogen peroxide
or diluted sodium bicarbonate, the last two best before going to bed. At other times it is also good occasionally to keep culture of
lactobacteria in the mouth.
Curing the 'Antibiotic Syndrome'
The main treatment for the 'antibiotic syndrome' is sanitation of the gastro-intestinal tract combined with a low-allergy diet. In this way
most acute problems can be overcome within weeks while degenerated joints or organs can start a slower road to recovery.10/30/24, 3:31 PM Health-Science-Spirit - Candida & the Antibiotic Syndrome
https://health-science-spirit.com/Diseases/Candida-and-the-Antibiotic-Syndrome.html 2/4One unpleasant side-ef fect of most methods used to reduce
the pathogenic microbial overgrowth of the intestines is the
Herxheimer reaction - a sudden worsening of symptoms due
to toxins released by the dead or dying microbes. This is
sometimes used as a diagnostic tool, especially for Candida.
I recommend ﬂushes combined with anti-microbial remedies
to avoid or minimise unpleasant side effects. An Epsom salts
ﬂush may contain one tablespoon of Epsom salts, more or
less according to need, in a large glass of water and is useful
in cases of constipation and with raised blood pressure.
Refrigerate the water to make it taste less bitter.
Add a crushed clove of garlic to the ﬂush to reduce the
microbial overgrowth. If garlic cannot be used then several
drops of Lugol’ s solution or a teaspoon of bicarbonate, or up to two teaspoons of three per cent hydrogen peroxide may be added
instead. You can take another glass of water after the Epsom salts to wash down the bitter aftertaste.
The ﬂush will carry most of the dead microbes and their toxins out of the body and minimise any unpleasant reactions. However, if
the ﬂush should not be sufﬁcient to produce a strong bowel movement within two to three hours and you start feeling unwell, then
another spoonful of Epsom salts may be taken. If overweight and with constipation you may take already 2 tablespoons to start with.
Other laxatives that may be used for a ﬂush are Glauber Salz or sodium sulfate, castor oil or senna. You may need to experiment with
your chosen laxative to ﬁnd the right amount to take with the garlic so that it is ef fective within a few hours.
Psyllium is excellent and most recommend for long-term use. If you are not overweight or constipated you may start the Ultimate
Cleanse this way instead of using Epsom salts. Psyllium is especially  effective for removing endotoxins from the intestines and
reducing allergic and autoimmune reactions.
In a large glass of water add a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate and a heaped teaspoon of psyllium hulls, stir and drink immediately
followed by another glass of water. Until you start with the systemic antimicrobial therapy add chopped garlic or another antimicrobial
to the psyllium drink but continue adding a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate as long as there are signs of pain, inﬂammation, Candida
or overacidity. If you suspect intestinal parasites also add MMS, or Lugol’ s solution, or wormwood, or essential oils to the psyllium.
With Candida overgrowth any sexual partner should also use antimicrobial therapy. Some individuals are highly sensitive and with
multiple allergies. In this case it may be necessary to proceed very slowly, remain on a stable low-allergy diet, use anti-inﬂammatory
measures, such as slippery elm powder before meals and ginger with meals, and introduce probiotics, lactic acid fermented food and
anti-microbials only very gradually.
For sensitive individuals it is most helpful yo alkalize the body. Sodium bicarbonate is a strong fungicide and potassium bicarbonate is
even stronger. Half to one teaspoon of bicarbonate in a glass of water taken on an empty stomach or 2-3 hours after meals can be
used up to seven times daily to sanitize the intestinal tract and alkalize the lymphatic system.
Acidophilus & Biﬁdo
This leads us to the next step: replacing the decimated pathogenic microbes with desirable lactobacilli. This must be done in a
massive dose 30-60 minutes after each ﬂush; otherwise the unwanted microbes may grow back to full strength after the next meal.
Acidophilus culture is used to repopulate the freed-up spaces at the walls of the small intestines, while biﬁdo bacteria are the
protective inhabitants of the colon or large intestines.
There are several possibilities. These bacterial cultures are available from health food shops as powders in brown glass bottles that
should be refrigerated before and after sale. You may buy a mixed culture and take two teaspoons in water or vegetable juice or one
teaspoon each of the separate cultures. If you suspect cows' milk allergy, which is rather frequent in this condition, then use milk-free
cultures. Alternatively, you may take several high-potency capsules. High-potency cultures should contain 10 Billion (or more) live
bacteria per gram or per capsule.
However, it is even better to regularly use fresh self-made yoghurt or other lactic-acid fermented food, initially combined with high-
potency capsules or powders. You may use any suitable cultures as a starter to make your own yoghurt. Because of the frequent
problems caused by cows' milk, I usually prefer goats' or sheep milk, self-made almond milk or fermented bee pollen. These do not
set as ﬁrm and creamy like cow’ milk but that does not matter as the beneﬁcial bacteria are in the liquid whey; for different ways to
make yoghurt see Recipes.
Take a cupful of this yoghurt, best together with acidophilus powder or capsules, after each ﬂush, using more before other meals.
Continue taking either the cultures or yoghurt for several months after you have stopped taking a ﬂush. Women should also for a few
days or weeks apply yoghurt or acidophilus powder to the vagina. It is preferable initially for a few days to douche with diluted
hydrogen peroxide solution at a strength of one teaspoon of three per cent peroxide to a glass of water, or more or less according to
sensitivity. For sensitive individuals and if there is pain or inﬂammation  strongly acid ferments should be nearly neutralized before
ingesting, you may just use bicarbonate for this purpose.
For those who do not ingest lactic acid fermented food or other acidophilus/biﬁdo products regularly it would be good to take a course
once a year just as a precaution, but especially with or after taking any drugs, medical or recreational, or when leading a stressful life.
The diet during therapy should be free of sweeteners, sweet foods, yeast, alcohol and, initially, fruits.
