 she was5’2” and weighed about 240 pounds. I turned 60 last year andI decided I did not want to be like my mother. I’m going in theopposite direction. I want to slim down and build some muscleand remain attractive.
I have to say up front that when I first visited Dr. Platt, I
walked into his office with an attitude of skepticism. Not becauseof all the diets I’d gone on, but because I have an insider’sknowledge of medical scams. For 20 years my career consisted ofmarketing and selling pharmaceutical products. I know whatpharmaceutical companies will stoop to in order to turn a profit.I lost my innocence about medicine long ago, and I’m always onthe lookout for someone trying to turn an easy buck.
But once I spoke to Dr. Platt I was relieved. From the way he
talked, I realized he wasn’t just promoting products. What he saidabout why people hang onto weight and why their bodies hate tolose fat made sense. There was none of the jargon and medical116 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  babble that tends to cluster around trendy medical scams.
Platt’s office staff have also been very supportive, and they
communicate a sense of being genuinely interested in everyone whocomes in there. The whole atmosphere is wonderful. They’re notpunitive when you don’t meet your goals as expected.
As far as the process of losing weight is concerned, it’s been
virtually painless. The diet itself is easy to follow. I’m a fruit freakand that’s been the most difficult thing to give up, but I realizethat I will be able to go back to fruit later in the process; it’s notsomething I have to give up for the rest of my life. Once I’ve lostthe weight I want to lose, the fruit will be re-introduced. In theshort term, trust me, if that’s all I have to give up, that’s fine.
There was a brief period when I was losing weight but not
feeling very energetic. I went in to see one of the nutritionalcounselors, who recommended a multi-mineral supplement. It wasmy thought, knowing just enough about medicine to be dangerous,that perhaps I should be taking potassium. I know diets can bepotassium-depleting. But the counselor said not only to do potas-sium but to take a multi-mineral as well. Sure enough, myenergy returned and I started feeling absolutely great. It made mewonder whether I’d been lacking in some mineral or other formany years.
During my very first interview with Dr. Platt it came out
that my sister died of colon cancer and that now one of her daugh-ters has colon cancer. Also, my mother had a mastectomy when shewas 38. Dr. Platt was very interested in this. It’s one of the reasonswhy he placed me on progesterone, which is erroneously thought ofas a female hormone. But according to him, progesterone willprotect me from the excess estrogen I’m putting out. He knew thatwas true even before he did my blood work, just from my familymedical history.
I was also started on testosterone, and the amounts were very
carefully monitored by Dr. Platt’s office. It certainly helped with117 ADUL T-ONSET DIABETES AND LOUIS R.  my libido (interest in sex). According to the blood work my DHEA
is that of a 30-year-old. Dr. Platt wanted to know if anyone inmy family had lived a long time. My grandfather lived to almost90, and my mother was almost 90 when she died.
Dr. Platt also thought my thyroid was not putting out as
much hormone as it should, so he has me on a couple of thyroidmedications. This makes a difference. I’ve noticed since I’ve beenon this diet that I don’t get that late afternoon letdown I used toget. I think that’s due to the thyroid medications and the proges-terone, which Dr. Platt states is stabilizing my blood sugar.
So far I’ve lost 32 pounds, and I’ve weaned myself off one of
my medications for diabetes. As we go along we’re fine-tuning mymedications. It seems to be a rather sensible approach. I’m verypleased with the results.
DIABETES AND INSULIN
Louis has a strong family history of both obesity and adult-
onset diabetes. This means everyone in his family over-produces insulin, and insulin is the hormone that creates fat.
A simple way of thinking about insulin is to understand
that insulin will take any sugar the body’s not using and store itprimarily in the fat cells. Once the sugar is absorbed into the fatcells, it is converted into fat. People have a limited number offat cells, which therefore can only contain a limited amount offat. As these cells fill up with fat, it gets harder for insulin to getthe sugar into them. This is what I refer to as “insulin resist-ance”; there are other types of insulin resistance that also play asignificant role in diabetes. Whichever type is in effect, thebody responds by producing even more insulin. This is called“hyperinsulinemia.” Insulin not only creates fat, it prevents fatfrom getting out of the fat cells—it is a fat-storing hormone.118 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  One can easily see that if you have too much insulin, you
are going to have a weight problem.
Eventually the fat cells get completely filled up and sugar
can no longer get into the fat cells—so it builds up in thebloodstream and the patient is told he or she has diabetes.While in fact diabetes is frequently a disease of too muchinsulin, doctors approach diabetes as if it is a disease of highblood sugar. So they give their patients medications tostimulate the pancreas to make even more insulin. This extrainsulin literally pushes the sugar into the fat cells, creating evenmore weight gain.
The exception to this is the medication Glucophage, which
goes by the generic name metformin. Glucophage doesn’tactually lower blood sugar; it acts by increasing the sensitivityof tissues in the body to insulin, leading to a lowering ofinsulin levels. Needless to say, I do not necessarily wean peopleoff this particular diabetic medication.
Many patients with type II (adult-onset) diabetes may
inappropriately wind up on insulin injections. Since probably90 percent of people with adult-onset diabetes already have toomuch insulin to begin with, placing them on insulin oftenexacerbates their weight problem
.
HYPOGLYCEMIA AND INSULIN
If my patients are having hypoglycemic reactions, usually mani-
fested as afternoon fatigue, sleepiness after eating, sleepiness whilein a car either as the driver or as a passenger, this tells me that theyare over-producing insulin, irrespective of blood sugar levels.
If I have a patient who has been diagnosed with diabetes
and has symptoms suggesting hypoglycemia, I can assume theyare producing an adequate amount of insulin. These patients119 ADUL T-ONSET DIABETES AND LOUIS R.  can often be cured of their diabetes by lowering their insulin
levels and changing the way they eat to a fat-burning mealplan. Once a certain amount of fat has been eliminated, thereis room in the fat cells for the sugar to be taken in, and thediabetes condition is gone.
In my opinion, there is one major cause for hyperinsuline-
mia (too much insulin), namely, too little progesterone. Louis’family history is classic for this condition—which underscoresthe importance of spending time talking to patients. Muchinformation can be gleaned from a family history. In the firstplace, the prevalence of diabetes in the family was suggestive ofSyndrome X, the form of hyperinsulinemia associated withhigh triglyceride levels and low HDL cholesterol. The strongfamily history of estrogen-related cancers also suggested lowprogesterone levels.
HORMONAL INFLUENCES
Louis had significant hormone problems. Besides indicating
low progesterone levels, his family history was consistent withevidence of estrogen dominance. The history of colon cancerand breast cancer among the women in his family would havebeen related to estrogen. The low progesterone led to problemswith hyperinsulinemia, with resultant obesity.
Blood tests indicated that Louis also had low levels of
testosterone. This too is a hormone that lowers insulin levels,just like progesterone. T estosterone is probably the mostimportant hormone to replace in a male, for multiple reasons.It treats and prevents osteoporosis (as we have seen, fracturedhips are associated with a 25 percent mortality rate in men). Itappears to help prevent Alzheimer’s disease. And a man is notable to perform sexually with low levels of testosterone.120 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  T estosterone also helps keep the heart healthy: The heart
muscle has more testosterone receptor sites than any othermuscle, which means the heart uses more testosterone thanany other organ. T estosterone is now being used to treatcongestive heart failure in men. A man cannot build musclewithout testosterone. It has been found that many men (andwomen) have very low levels of testosterone after a heartattack. Could it be a contributing factor?
DIABETES AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Louis will probably have to restrict the carbohydrates in his diet
for the rest of his life. Making Louis aware of how his metabo-lism works—how sugar and insulin throw his energy levels outof whack, and how he can use protein to stabilize his system—has made all the difference. With his hormones

These are very general interp retations in what is a wide spectrum of
possibilities. To feel that you aren’ t a great lover, for example, can be a sign
of something mild, such as sexual inexperience, or something severe, such
as clinical depression. Rather than reading any of these characterizations as
a diagnosis or judgment, see if they show the way to hidden issues you may
not be facing. The point is not to make you feel that there is something
wrong with you, only to stir ener gies that need to move.
PART TWO
In our culture “good sex” is usually defined in terms of technique and
performance. We overlook that sex is a creative act, which doesn’t need to
be critiqued or evaluated. Biologically, human sexuality is essential to the
process that creates babies, but the same energy contributes to many things
at levels of life that are not literally biological. Sex is creativit y itself, andwe have the capacity to create on every plane of existence, from the
biological to the spiritual.
Sex is creative when it produces a new feeling, insight, or expe rience. In
this exercise some of these possibilities are explored.
Look at the following list of experiences. Put a check by any you have
had at least once during sex. These are suggestive phrases, to be interpreted
as you wish—your own perception of bliss, carefreeness, playfulness, and
so on is all you need to go by.
Delighted laughter
Sense of timelessness
Ecstasy
Warm flow in the heart
Merging with partner
Floating sensation, as if the body disappears
Warmth or visible light flowing up the spine
Loss of ego
Carefreeness
Playfulness
Nonattachment to your performance
Complete letting go
Expansion
Sense of wholeness, safety, belonging
Blessing
Bliss
Acute awareness of self or surroundings
Unbounded love
Contentment, peace in the center of your heart
Now look back over your answ ers; the experiences you have checked
indicate your spiritual horizon.  That is, you have learned to use sexual
energy to create  these experiences. If you have some only once, these are
the envelope of your inner growth. The experiences you have had more than
once, especially  if recently, indicate the growth you have alread y integrated
into your loving personality.
Go back  over the list and mark  experiences you haven’ t had but think
could happen next. These are your spiritual goals. Your desire for them is
enough to bring them about; on your inner landscape you are already
working toward them.
Now go through the list a third time and mark the experie nces you
believe are out of reach or impossible for you. These could be interpreted as
blocks to spirit. Since nothing is truly out of reach in the creative use ofsexuality, naming what you see as “impossible” experiences holds up a
mirror to your current belief in the limits of love.
On the path to love impossibilities are resolved by turning non-love into
love. With spiritual growth comes new creative potential—whi ch can take
the form  of sexual expression— leading to the realization that you are pure
potential, able to fulfill any creative impulse.
OceanofPDF.comIN OUR LIVES
The W orn-out Lover
FOR A LONG  time, ever since his early teens, Guy had been a lover, and a
very active one. The singles bar scene had been his second home for a
decade, and he considered hims elf a born appreciator of women, unable to
comprehend why other men seemed to resent or ignore them. To Guy
women were intoxicating creatures, and giving them pleasure was
something he felt proud of. He never called himself a woman’ s boyfriend;
he was always her lover. He took the sexual revolution for grant ed—he was
open to almost any sexual experiment proposed by the women he dated, and
he could quickly take his partner to a place where she wasn’ t embarrassed
to express her fantasies.
When asked how he felt about his many conquests, Guy said, “I loved
every one of them. Nothing makes me happier than a grateful woman.” He
was sincere when he claimed that none of his former flames resented him in
any way, despite the fact that his liaisons with them lasted only a few nights
or a few months—six at most.
Caroline was the first woman Guy had ever met whom he did not want to
take to bed immediately, despit e the fact that he was strongly attracted to
her. She was in her early twenti es—Guy was about to turn thirty—but she
radiated the demure, innocent quality of a much younger girl. Enchanted,
Guy thought of Caroline as a fawn, with her large, trusting eyes and slight
air of aloofness.
For her part, Caroline seemed to adore Guy; he was only her third serious
boyfriend (she definitely preferred this term over lover ). Shaki ng off his
reluctance, Guy soon entered an intimate relationship with Caroline. All
went smoothly until one night when he found himself, quite unexpectedly,
waking up in tears at two in the morning. An uncontrollable emotion—wasit grief?  remorse?—swept over him. Mystified and shaken, Guy went back
to sleep.
The next time he took Caroline to bed, however, Guy found  himself
performing far below his usual high standards. His mind wandered, and for
the first time he felt that he might not be able to reach orgasm. This
impossibility wasn’t allowed to happen, but afterward he felt fatigued and
joyless. Caroline made no comment; she held Guy for a long time before he
fell asleep.
Their relationship deepened. In many ways Guy felt that he was going
through the happiest time of his life. Caroline’ s light heart and innocent
manner came as a revelation to him; he sometimes felt by comparison that
he had been working very hard at life. This was undoubtedly true in his
career—Guy worked long hours creating databases for a prestigious
commercial realtor. His goal was to be a millionaire in five years. Caroline
was the first woman who had ever distracted him from this ambition.
When Guy decided to propose  to her, his ears burned in disbelief as
Caroline asked for a little more time. Disbelief turned to shock when she
hesitantly said that she wanted  their relationship not to be intimate for a
while. Pressed for reasons, Caroline hesitated even more, but finally she
half-whispered, “I don’t think you really like it. You just don’t want to let
me down.”
It was the most troubling and yet the most honest thing a woman had
ever said to Guy. That night he stormed out in hurt pride, but he knew in his
heart that he felt worn out. Certain things about sex had never occurred to
him. For instance, he had never thought that more isn’t necessarily


 he regi stered
and impressed the picture. This made a pro-found impression on him,
and his whole aim was to firmly impress the picture on his mi nd and
develop it there. Films are developed in the dark; likewise, mental
pictures are developed in the darkroom of the subconscious mind.
• Focused attention
Realizing that his conscious mind was simply a camera, he use d no
effort. There was no mental struggle. He quietly ad-justed his t houghts
and focused his attention on the scene before him until he graduall y
became identified with the picture. He became absorbed in the  mental
atmosphere, repeating the mental movie frequently. There wa s no
room for doubt that a healing would follow. When there was any
temptation to drink, he would switch his imagination from any
reveries of drinking bouts to the feeling of being at home wi th his
family. He was successful because he confidently expected to
experience the picture he was developing in his mind. Today he  is
president of a multimillion-dollar concern and is radiantly happy.
• He said a jinx was following him
Mr. Block said that he had been making an annual income of
$20,000, but for the past three months all doors seemed to jam tightl y.
He brought clients up to the point where they were about to s ign on
the dotted line, and then at the eleventh hour the door closed. He
added that perhaps a jinx was following him.
In discussing the matter with Mr. Block, I discovered that three
months previously he had become very irritated, annoyed, and
resentful toward a dentist who, after he had promised to sign a
contract, had withdrawn at the last moment. He began to live i n the
unconscious fear that other clients would do the same, thereby se tting
up a history of frustration, hostility, and obstacles. He graduall y built
 191  up in his mind a belief in obstruc-tion and last minute cancell ations
until a vicious circle had been established. What I fear most has come
upon me. Mr. Block realized that the trouble was in his mind, and that
it was essential to change his mental attitude.
His run of so-called misfortune was broken in the follow-ing way:
“I realize I am one with the infinite intelligence of my  subconscious
mind which knows no obstacle, difficulty, or delay. I live in the
joyous expectancy of the best. My deeper mind responds to my
thoughts. I know that the work of the infinite power of my
subconscious cannot be hindered. Infinite intelligence always f inishes
successfully whatever it begins. Creative wisdom works through me
bringing all my plans and purposes to completion. Whatever I st art, I
bring to a success-ful conclusion. My aim in life is to give  wonderful
service, and all those whom I contact are blessed by what I ha ve to
offer. All my work comes to full fruition in divine order.”
He repeated this prayer every morning before going to call o n his
customers, and he also prayed each night prior to sleep. In a short time
he had established a new habit pattern in his subconscious mind, and
he was back in his old accustomed stride as a successful salesman.
• How much do you want what you want?
A young man asked Socrates how he could get wisdom. Socrates
replied, “Come with me.” He took the lad to a river, pushed th e boy’s
head under the water, held it there until the boy was gaspi ng for air,
then relaxed and released his head. When the boy regained his
composure, he asked him, “What did you desire most when you were
under water?”
“I wanted air,” said the boy.
Socrates said to him, “When you want wisdom as much as you
wanted air when you were immersed in the water, you will receive it.”
Likewise, when you really have an intense desire to over-come any
block in your life, and you come to a clear-cut de-cision that the re is a
 192  way out, and that is the course you wish to follow, then victory and
triumph are assured.
If you really want peace of mind and inner calm, you will get it.
Regardless of how unjustly you have been treated, or how unfair th e
boss has been, or what a mean scoundrel some-one has proved to be,
all this makes no difference to you when you awaken to your mental
and spiritual powers. You know what you want, and you will
definitely refuse to let the thieves (thoughts) of hatred, anger, hostility,
and ill will rob you of peace, harmony, health, and happiness. You
cease to become upset by people, conditions, news, and events by
identifying your thoughts immediately with your aim in life. You r aim
is peace, health, inspiration, harmony, and abundance. Feel a ri ver of
peace flowing through you now. Your thought is the immaterial and
invisible power, and you choose to let it bless, inspire, and giv e you
peace.
• Why he could not be healed
This is a case history of a married man with four children who was
supporting and secretly living with another woman during his business
trips.
He was ill, nervous, irritable, and cantankerous, and he could not
sleep without drugs. The doctor’s medicine failed to bring down hi s
high blood pressure of over two hundred. He had pains in numerous
organs of his body, which doctors could not diagnose or relieve. To
make matters worse, he was drinking heavily.
The cause of all this was a deep unconscious sense of guilt. H e had
violated the marriage vows, and this troubled him. The religi ous creed
he was brought up on was deeply lodged in his subconscious mind,
and he drank excessively to heal the wound of guilt. Some invalids
take morphine and codeine for severe pains; he was taking a lcohol for
the pain or wound in his mind. It was the old story of adding fue l to
the fire.

 193  • The explanation and the cure
He listened to the explanation of how his mind worked. He faced his
problem, looked at it, and gave up his dual role. He knew that h is
drinking was an unconscious attempt to escape. The hidden cause
lodged in his subconscious mind had to be eradicated; then the healing
would follow.
He began to impress his subconscious mind three or four times a
day by using the following prayer: “My mind is full of peace, poise,
balance, and equilibrium. The infinite lies stretched in smi ling repose
within me. I am not afraid of anything in the past, the present, or the
future. The infinite intelligence of my subconscious mind leads,
guides, and directs me in all ways. I now meet every situation w ith
faith, poise, calmness, and confidence.
I am now completely free from the habit. My mind is full of i nner
peace, freedom, and joy. I forgive myself; then I am forgiven. Peace,
sobriety, and confidence reign supreme in my mind.”
He repeated this prayer frequently as outlined; being fully  aware of
what he was doing and why he was doing it. Knowing what he was
doing gave him the necessary faith and confidence. I explained t o him
that as he spoke these statements out loud, slowly, lovingly, and
meaningfully, they would gradually sink down into his subconscious
mind. Like seeds, they would grow after their kind. These truth s, on
which he concentrated, went in through his eyes, his ears heard the
sound, and the healing vibrations of these words reached his
subconscious mind and obliterated all the negative mental pa tterns
which caused all the trouble. Light dispels darkness. The constr uctive
thought de-stroys the negative thought. He became a transformed man

• Refusing to admit it
If you are an alcoholic or drug addict, admit it. Do not dodge the
issue. Many people remain alcoholics because they refuse to admit i t.
 194  Your disease is instability, an inner fear. You are refusing t o face
life, and so you try to escape your responsi-bilities through t he bottle.
As an alcoholic you have no free will, although you think you have,
and you may even boast about your will power. If you are a habitual
drunkard and say bravely, “I will not touch it any more,” you have no
power to make this assertion come true, because you do not know
where to locate the power.
You are living in a psychological prison of your own making, and
you are bound by your beliefs, opinions, training, and environmenta l
influences.
Like most people, you are a creature of habit. You are con ditioned
to react the way you do.
• Building in the idea of freedom
You can build the idea of freedom and peace of mind into your
mentality so that it reaches your subconscious depths. The latter, be ing
allpowerful, will free you from all desire for alcohol. The n, you will
have the new understanding of how your mind works, and you can
truly back up your statement and prove the truth to yourself.

 assisting in the care of an elderly lady, probably
around 70. For  the past couple of years she has had arthritis and last year she had to have an operation to have the spleen removed.
They couldn’t control the blood count unless the spleen was taken out. She got along fairly well after the operation but then  her
arthrit is came back still more. She had extreme pains throughout the whole body to the place where she could not control it and she
had to be taken into the hospital where they could not find anything wrong with her. X -rays showed nothing. The pain was so
extreme  they went into the bowel and found an obstruction. When she died, they said she died of septic shock. This is not unusual
because it follows the pattern that we see with so many people.

PATIENT 7
Phone call in October. This person started the tissue clea nsing treatment in June, the June before 1980 and her problem was
degenerative disease in the female organs, principally the uterus. She was advised to have a complete hysterectomy because of
suspicions of a very serious degenerative nature. Four months la ter this woman went for her Pap test and an elimination. They
found every -thing normal. She has finally returned to work and is very thankful for what has happened.
PATIENT 8
Twenty -six-year-old mother of three diagnosed as having Multiple Sclerosis. She h as not been given any hope of overcoming this
disease from her doctor. They have offered her nothing, no dietetics, no nutritional counseling, and no encouragement. She ha s
been told by her professional guides that she can’t get well with any treatments. T hat she must accept her condition and live with
it. With nothing to lose from this prognosis, she has been working with our system and reports that her vitality is better, s he feels
better and her nerves are much better; she is digesting her food better an d her bowels are better.
PATIENT 9
This lady has gone through the tissue cleansing treatment twice. She has had considerable problems dealing with the spine, ne ck,
joints, abdominal disorders, digestive disturbances, lung disturbances, bronchial problems; going through the change of life.
The cleansing treatment was 11 months ago and the second was 7 weeks later, as we advised. Following that, she has been livin g a
fairly good life from a food and mental standpoint; adjusting her job; trying to do as much a s she can for herself; having more
sunshine treatments during the summer; circulation treatments through Kneipp baths; and trying to readjust her life to such a n
extent that she built herself up to a healing crisis; that reversal process that we talk so mu ch about.
The healing crisis came and she developed pains and aches especially where she had been operated on for a disk in the neck. T hen
the pain went to the shoulder and different parts of the body. The intestinal problem became a little bit unmanageabl e so she went
on the tissue cleansing treatment again. We planned for 3 days due to the fact that most crises only last about 3 days and we
thought that this would be enough, but she stayed on the program for the full 7 day period. She has had greater elim inations from
the bowel during her healing crisis than at any other time. This is a very important thing to consider and I would like to di scuss this
for a moment.
First of all, we find that disease is a result of catarrh, mucus and phlegm settling in vari ous parts of the body; toxic materials that
have been in our blood over a period of years that have developed the kind of shoulder; the kind of joint material that we ha ve in
our body now. We are reversing this, we are using an evolved way of eating; we’re  going a better way from a health standpoint.
The reversal process goes right out through the tissues when they are regenerated to get rid of the old and to allow the new to come
in. In other words, we’re not building a new disease, we’re going backwards n ow and in going backwards, we call this the reversal
method of cleansing; the reversal method of getting rid of any disease accumulation that may be in the body. In this case, we  find
that the second elimination treatment, at the end of 7 weeks, did not di scharge much mucus or catarrh from the bowel. In contrast,
during this crisis it was unbelievable what the tissue cleansing treatment and the colemas have brought down from the bowel.
There were mucus strings and other materials that were unbelievable. The y were of such a copious nature that there were two
quarts at a time of this mucus membrane. It was foul and gave up a lot of gas. She had to resort to an extra colema treatment  in
order to take care of this toxic material that had settled in the bowel. Af ter the 6th day, we found that the colema became clear
again. There is still an excessive amount of material coming from the bowel. The greatest amount of toxic material came possi bly
the 4th, 5th and 6th days. It is beginning to ease up now and it is time  that she moves on to the transition diet and the regular eating
program once again.
This case has been mentioned because it illustrates clearly that during the healing crisis it may become a necessity to go on  the
colema treatment once again. I will say t hat everyone who follows this treatment is going to have these healing crises develop. It
will bring back the problems that you have had in the past, symptoms you had 10, 20, 30 years ago. It is at this time that th e toxic
material should be elimirated bec ause the body has liquified the catarrh, liquified the mucus and it is getting to a running stage. At
this time, you help it with the colema. After this is over, you will find that it will take 3 to 5 days for a complete elimin ation to
occur, after which y ou’re ready to start a better life than you’ve had in many years. The healing crisis can be a short one, it can be
a little one, it doesn’t have to take long. Anybody going through this tissue cleansing treatment will get a strong healing c risis. I
feel th at people overcome their troubles a lot quicker through this reversal process that they would any other way. You make more
progress with this program than with any way I know of other than through extreme fasting.
PATIENT 10
This man suffers from extreme f latulence and X -ray shows severe diverticula of the colon. He has had kidney operations to
remove large stones, and has been told that there is a large mass in one kidney. He hasn’t the will to live because of these troubles.
Blood pressure was high (188/1 20), extreme digestive disturbances, heart attack, gout; taking drugs now. Does not smoke or
drink alcohol. Barium enema shows number of diverticula has tripled in one year’s time. Iris examination reveals deep, dark a nd
large lesions in colon areas. Kidne y areas indicate extreme underactivity. Doctors want to take out sections of the bowel and have
no other remedy. He came to us with these troubles. The seven -day treatment was started with the tissue cleansing regimen. Good
things started to happen immedia tely. He was able to get the first decent night’s sleep in years by the third day. Flatulence has been
reduced markedly. Patient says he hasn’t felt as good in years. He claims that he feels like he has been given a new chance a t life
and is very optimisti c about staying on the program. The opportunity to reverse his degenerative processes has given him hope that
was not available before.
PATIENT 11
After taking treatments several months ago, the stomach trouble has left and the digestion is now better.
We have not heard any bad results from cases taking the treatment.
PATIENT 12
Patient had hepatitis. Tests revealed an almost normal condition after one month of colema treatment. Chemistry panel showed
alkaline phosphorous of 1760 (normal is 79 to 250 IUL) w ent to 82 during this treatment. She used no drugs, just foods and tissue
cleansing system.

The ultraviolet-B (UVB)—vitamin D—cancer hypothesis was
proposed in 1980. Since then, several ecological and observational
studies have examined the hypothesis, in addition to one good randomized, controlled trial. Also, the mechanisms whereby vitamin D reduces the risk of cancer have been elucidated. This report aims to examine the evidence to date with respect to the criteria for causality in a biological system first proposed by Robert Koch and later systematized by A. Bradford Hill. The criteria of most relevance are strength of association, consistency, biological gradient, plausibility/mechanisms and experimental verification. Results for several cancers generally satisfy these criteria. Results for breast and colorectal cancer satisfy the criteria best, but there is also good evidence that other cancers do as well, including bladder, esopha-geal, gallbladder, gastric, ovarian, rectal, renal and uterine corpus cancer, as well as Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Several cancers have mixed findings with respect to UVB and/or vitamin D, including pancreatic and prostate cancer and melanoma. Even for these, the benefit of vitamin D seems reasonably strong. Although ecological and observational studies are not generally regarded as able to provide convincing evidence of causality, the fact that humanity has always existed with vitamin D from solar UVB irradiance means that there is a wealth of evidence to be harvested using the ecological and observational approaches. Nonetheless, additional randomized, controlled trials are warranted to further examine the link between vitamin D and cancer incidence, survival and mortality.
Introduction
The solar ultraviolet-B (UVB)—vitamin D—cancer hypothesis
was first proposed in 1980 by Cedric and Frank Garland to explain the geographical variation of colon cancer mortality rates in the United States for 1950–1969, highest in the Northeast and lowest in the Southwest.
1 They showed a rough correlation for the cancer mortality rates with annual hours of sunshine. They later showed that dietary vitamin D and calcium were inversely correlated with colorectal cancer risk
2 as well as prediagnostic serum 25-hydroxyvi-
tamin D [25(OH)D].3 They also linked solar UVB and vitamin D
to reduced risk of breast4 and ovarian5 cancer. Gary Schwartz added
prostate cancer in 1990.6 After the publication of the Atlas of Cancer
Mortality in the United States, 1950–94,7 William Grant determined
that 14 types of cancer had mortality rates inversely correlated with solar UVB levels for July.
8,9
Much of this pioneering work was accomplished using the
ecologic approach, in which populations and risk-modifying factors are averaged for geographically defined populations. The ecologic approach is particularly well suited for this particular task for several reasons: solar UVB is the primary source of vitamin D for most people on Earth; the amount of vitamin D generated from casual solar UVB irradiance in summer, sufficient to raise serum 25(OH)D by 10–15 ng/mL,
10,11 is sufficient to reduce the risk of many types
of cancer by 10%–40%; and vitamin D seems to play an important role in fighting cancer in the disease’s later stages.
12,13
As convincing as the ecologic studies are to those intimately
involved therewith, they have not met with universal acceptance. Even their having been would still not be sufficient to establish a causal relation between solar UVB, vitamin D production and cancer risk reduction. However, an approach exists that one can use to evaluate whether the association can be considered causal: apply the criteria for causality, originally postulated by Robert Koch to show that tubercu-losis was caused by a bacterium,
14 and codified in recent times by A.
Bradford Hill.15 Others have also discussed applying these criteria.16,17
Although these criteria were developed with respect to “causal” rather than to “preventive” agents, there is no a priori reason why most, if not all, criteria would not also apply to preventive agents.
The Hill criteria are as follows:(1) Strength of association,(2) Consistency (repeated observation),(3) Specificity (one agent, one result),(4) T emporality (exposure precedes effect),(5) Biological gradient (dose-response relation),(6) Plausibility (e.g., mechanisms),(7) Coherency (no serious conflict with the generally known facts
of the natural history and biology of the disease),

Vitamin D and cancer: Causality?
In general, the cancers fall under the categories of digestive tract,
female organs, urogenital organs and hematopoietic cancers. These
cancers are generally those that are common in Western developed countries. Smoking is an important risk factor for many of these types of cancer,
48 as are diets high in animal products.9,49,50 Among
other factors, smoking reduces serum 25(OH)D levels.51 Because
many of these cancers are related to diets high in animal products, insulin-like growth factor I is a likely risk factor.
52 Vitamin D
compounds can affect the growth-promoting pathways of insulin-like growth factor I.
53 Because these cancers have reasonably high
incidence and mortality rates, they are easy to study.
Evaluation Using Hill’s Criteria for Causality
Strength of association. Satisfying strength of association requires
a strong correlation between a measure of vitamin D and reduced risk
of cancer. One index of serum 25(OH)D level is solar UVB dose. Solar UVB is the primary source of vitamin D for most people on Earth, and in summer in the United States and Europe, casual solar UVB irradiance is sufficient to increase serum 25(OH)D levels by 5–15 ng/mL depending on such factors as amount of body surface area exposed, skin pigmentation, age and body mass.
11,23 Reducing
the risk of breast and colorectal cancer by about 50% requires a vitamin D level of 10–15 ng/mL.
54,55 Thus, summertime solar UVB
is sufficient to significantly reduce the risk of cancer. Also, those diagnosed in summer or fall in Norway have significantly increased survival rates,
13,32 and vitamin D also reduces the risk of cancer with
a one year lag time after starting supplementation,12 indicating that
vitamin D is important in reducing the risk of cancer in the later disease stages. Thus, one can use ecological studies of cancer inci-dence and mortality rates to look for a beneficial effect of vitamin D. Cancer data in the United States are particularly useful in this regard because the solar UVB dose for July
8 is asymmetrical, much higher in
the western states than in the eastern states at the same latitude. The (8) Experimental verification (randomized, controlled trial) and(9) Analogy with other causal relationships.A link need not satisfy all of these to be considered causal;
however, the more that are, the better the case that is made. As Poitschman and Weed
16 and Weed17 have indicated, some of these
criteria are not particularly relevant, such as specificity, which applies more to a microorganism that causes a particular disease.
This work aims to evaluate the extant literature on UV irradiance,
vitamin D and cancer risk reduction for the 16 types of cancer for which the most evidence has been obtained.
Approach
Using the National Institutes of Health and National Library of
Medicine’s PubMed database (http://www.pubmed.gov), we searched the journal literature for reports of correlations with indices for solar UVB and/or vitamin D. Those selected for inclusion in this review generally found a significant correlation with UVB or vitamin D, whether direct or inverse. Those with insignificant correlations generally did not have enough values in the beneficial range to find a significant result, often because until the past several years, 400 IU/day was thought to be an adequate intake of vitamin D for many health benefits. After many such randomized, controlled trials before 2004 failed
18—most notably the
Women’s Health Initiative, which generally found no benefit of vitamin D and calcium supplementation for hip fractures,
19 colon cancer20 or
diabetes21—it was realized that an intake level of 400 IU/day has one
primary benefit: reduced risk of rickets. Some studies, which we discuss as well, reported increased risk of several types of cancer with respect to higher solar UV doses or serum 25(OH)D levels.

messy and not very profitable compared to manipulations. So it is not easy to find a skilled and willing colonic technician.
    Anyone who pl ans to give themselves therapeutic enemas while fasting would be well advised to first seek out a colonic
therapist and receive two or three colonics delivered one day apart while eating lightly and then immediately begin the fast.  Three
colonics given on three successive days of a light, raw food diet are sufficient to empty all recently eaten food even from a very
constipated, distended and bloated colon, while acquainting a person with their own bowel. Having an empty colon is actually a
pleasant and to most people a thoroughly novel experience. A few well -delivered colonics can quickly accustom a person to the
sensations accompanying the enema and demonstrate the effect to be achieved by oneself with an enema bag, something not
quickly discoverable any o ther way.

How To Give Yourself An Enema
    Enemas have been medically out of favor for a long time. Most people have never had one. So here are simple directions to sel f-
administer an effective enema series.
    The enema bag you select is important. It must hold at least two quarts and be rapidly refillable. The best American -made brand
is made of rubber with about five feet of rubber hose ending in one of two different white hard plastic insertion tips. The b ag is
designed for either enemas or vaginal d ouches. It hangs from a detachable plastic "S" hook. When filled to the brim it holds
exactly one -half gallon. The maker of this bag offers another model that costs about a dollar more and also functions as a hot water
bottle. A good comforter it may make,  but the dual purpose construction makes the bag very awkward to rapidly refill. I
recommend the inexpensive model.
    The plastic insertion tips vary somewhat. The straight tubular tip is intended for enemas; the flared vaginal douche tip can be
useful for enemas too, in that it somewhat restrains unintentional expulsion of the nozzle while filling the colon. However,  its four
small holes do not allow a very rapid rate of flow.
    To give yourself an enema, completely fill the bag with tepid water that does not exceed body temperature. The rectum is
surprisingly sensitive to heat and you will flinch at temperatures o nly a degree or two higher than 98 Fahrenheit. Cooler water is
no problem; some find the cold stimulating and invigorating. Fasters having difficulty staying warm should be wary of cold wa ter
enemas. These can drop core body temperature below the point of comfort.
    Make sure the flow clamp on the tube is tightly shut and located a few inches up the tube from the nozzle. Hang the filled ba g
from a clothes or towel hook, shower nozzle, curtain rod, or other convenient spot about four to five feet above th e bathroom floor
or tub bottom. The higher the bag the greater the water pressure and speed of filling. But too much pressure can also be
uncomfortable. You may have to experiment a bit with this.
    Various body positions are possible for filling the col on. None is correct or necessarily more effective than another. Experiment
and find the one you prefer. Some fill their colon kneeling and bending forward in the bathtub or shower because there will l ikely
be small dribbles of water leaking from around the  nozzle. Usually these leaks do not contain fecal matter. Others prefer to use the
bathroom floor. For the bony, a little padding in the form of a folded towel under knees and elbows may make the process more
comfortable. You may kneel and bend over while placing your elbows or hands on the floor, reach behind yourself and insert the
nozzle. You may also lie on your back or on your side. Some think the left side is preferable because the colon attaches to t he
rectum on the left side of the body, ascends up the left side of the abdomen to a line almost as high as the solar plexus, then
transverses the body to the right side where it descends again on the right almost to the groin. The small intestine attaches  to the
colon near its lower -right extremity. In fa ct these are the correct names given for the parts of the colon: Ascending, Descending
and Transverse Colon along with the Sigmoid Colon or Rectum at the exit end.
    As you become more expert at filling your colon with water you will begin to become awa re of its location by the weight,
pressure and sometimes temperature of the water you're injecting. You will come to know how much of the colon has been filled
by feel. You will also become aware of peristalsis as the water is evacuated vigorously and disc over that sensations from a colon
hard at work, though a bit uncomfortable, are not necessarily pain.
    Insertion of the nozzle is sometimes eased with a little lubricant. A bit of soap or KY jelly is commonly used. If the nozzle  can
be inserted without lubricant it will have less tendency to slip out. However, do not tear or damage the anus by avoiding necessary
lubrication. After insertion, grip the clamp with one hand and open it. The flow rate can be controlled with this clamp. Keep ing a
hand on the c lamp also prevents the nozzle from being expelled.
    Water will begin flowing into the colon. Your goal is to empty the entire bag into the colon before sensations of pressure or
urgency to evacuate the water force you to remove the nozzle and head for t he toilet. Relaxation of mind and body helps achieve
this. You are very unlikely to achieve a half -gallon fill up on the first attempt. If painful pressure is experienced try closing the
clamp for a moment to allow the water to begin working its way around  the obstacle. Or, next time try hanging the bag lower,
reducing its height above the body and thus lowering the water pressure. Or, try opening the clamp only partially. Or, try pa nting
hard, so as to make the abdomen move rapidly in and out, sort of shak ing the colon. This last technique is particularly good to get
the water past a blockage of intestinal gas.
    It is especially important for Americans, whose culture does not teach one to be tolerant of discomfort, to keep in mind that  pain
is the body's  warning that actual damage is being done to tissues. Enemas can do no damage and pose no risk except to that rare
individual with weak spots in the colon's wall from cancers. When an enema is momentarily perceived unpleasantly, the correct
name for the ex perience is a sensation, not pain. You may have to work at increasing your tolerance for unpleasant sensations or it
will take you a long time to achieve the goal of totally filling the colon with water. Be brave! And relax. A wise philosophe r once
said th at it is a rough Universe in which only the tigers survive --and sometimes they have a hard time.
    Eventually it will be time to remove the nozzle and evacuate the water. Either a blockage (usually fecal matter, an air bubbl e, or
a tight ‘U' turn in the colon, usually at either the splenetic, or hepatic flexures located right below the rib cage) will prevent further
inflow (undesirable) or else the bag will completely empty (good!) or the sensation of bursting will no longer be tolerable. Go sit
on the to ilet and wait until all the water has passed. Then refill the bag and repeat the process. Each time you fill the colon it wil l
allow more water to enter more easily with less unpleasantness. Fasters and cleansers should make at least three attempts at a
complete fill -up each time they do an enema session.
    Water and juice fasters will find that after the first few enemas, it will become very easy to inject the entire half -gallon of water.
That is because there is little or no chime entering the colon. A fter a few days the entire colon will seem (this is incorrect) to be
empty except when it is filled with water. This is the point to learn an advanced self -administered enema technique. An average
colon empty of new food will usually hold about one gallon of water. That is average. A small colon might only hold 3/4 gallon, a
large one might accept a gallon and a half, or even more. You'll need to learn to simultaneously refill the bag while injecti ng water,
so as to achieve a complete irrigation of the whol e colon. There are several possible methods. You might try placing a pitcher or
half-gallon mason jar of tepid water next to the bag and after the bag has emptied the first time, stand up while holding the tube  in
the anus, refill the bag and then lie down  again and continue filling. You might have an assistant do this for you. You might try
hanging the bag from the shower head and direct a slow, continuous dribble of lukewarm water from the shower into the bag whi le
you kneel or lie relaxed in the tub. Thi s way the bag will never empty and you stop filling only when you feel fullness and pressure
all the way back to the beginning of the ascending colon. Of course, hanging from a slowly running shower head the bag will
probably overflow and you will get spla shed and so will the bathroom floor when your wet body moves rapidly from the tub to the
toilet. I've imagined making

possible delirium or even unconsciousness.

One of the very first signs of dehydration is fatigue and lack of  energy…
80% of all Americans are dehydrated to some degree.  Our body
’
s cry for
more water is usually mistaken for a hunger for  food; so we end up at the
refrigerator instead of the water tap.  This results in a two-fold problem:
becoming overweight
and being
 dehydrated – thus the cycle continues.
Most disease is a result of our organs being starved of
necessary water
,
so the body is in a constant battle to store up water in
fat cells
, with one
organ robbing water from another. Water is
critical for
 every bodily function
and for the life and health of every
single cell
, from our brain to our little toe.

                          Glacier water is pure clean healthy distilled water
 Water:

1.

provides lubricants for our joints;
2.

provides digestive juices/saliva and stomach acid;
3.

controls body temperature through perspiration;
4.

is used to manufacture blood and lymph;
5.

delivers nutrients to the cells and carries away waste
6.

helps move material through the intestinal tract; and
7.

regulates the body
’
s metabolism.

Pure (distilled) water is nothing but H
2
O, so consequently it is
the most
effective water at meeting the required needs of the body
– especially
 with
cleaning toxins and waste materials from the
cells of
 the body. The Mayo
Clinic has discovered that plenty
of distilled
 water can decrease the risk of
colon cancer by at
least 45
%, bladder cancer by 50%, in addition to other
forms of cancer
, including
 breast cancer. Many medical experts agree that
most disease
 is a result of not drinking enough clean, healthy water
for the
body to function as it needs to, such as flushing the bladder of   toxins and
chemicals. When the body does not receive
enough water
, the result is
dis-ease. Then to complicate the
unhealthy condition
, doctors prescribe
drugs to deal with symptoms
which then
 can
result in
 additional health
problems.

 CHAPTER 3
Why Do I Need to
Drink Distilled Water?

How the EPA Has Failed
T
he consequences of EPA
’
s failure to establish standards
for organic
chemical contaminants in drinking water are very serious.  First, because
the establishment of standards is a
necessary prerequisite
 for monitoring
the quality of drinking water,
water suppliers
 are not presently required to
monitor the water they
sell for
 organic chemical contamination. The only
contaminants
they must
 look for are the relatively small number presently
included in
 the current regulations.
Thus, unless chemical contamination of a supply is so gross as
to cause
taste, odor or public health problems, most water
utilities across
 the
country do not routinely monitor for
unregulated contaminants
 and,
accordingly, do not know the chemical
quality of
 the water they provide.
Second, and equally important,
other regulatory
 programs designed to
prevent contamination
of ground
 water are keyed to the National Primary
Drinking
Water Regulations
.Under the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
leachate
from
hazardous waste landfills is only tested for the presence
of chemicals
included on the agency
’
s short list of primary
drinking water
. Toxic
chemicals at thousands of hazardous waste sites
across the
 country
continue to seep into the nation
’
s underground
, contaminating
 the land, and
poisoning the air. The U.S.
Accounting Office says
that the
 Superfund program will
be required
 to
clean up in excess
of 300,000
 sites, which appears to be, at the present
t
ime, an insurmount
able task. Over 6 billion tons
of solid and
 hazardous
waste are
generated in
 the United States
each year
.
400 million
 pounds of
toxins
are discharged
 each year into
our waterways
 by American
Industry
, according
 to recent data from
the EPA
. In 1997, Americans generated
340 million tons of municipal waste, which
averaged 1.272 tons per person. (15 years later there was 250 million tons
of municipal solid waste generated.) It is estimated that since 1990, more
than 11 billion tons of domestic and foreign waste have been disposed in
the U.S.

This is equal to covering every acre in the nation with 4.7 tons of waste.
Relying on EPA
’
s Franklin Associates, which calculates price per ton of
municipal waste disposal at a conservative $100/ton, the total cost to
consumers of all waste disposed in the U.S. since 1990, is in excess of
$1.1 trillion.

COVER-UP OR WATERED-DOWN FACTS
It is interesting to hear how so many water utilities brag about the superior
quality of their water. San Diego (my city) boasts of its water quality when
at the same time it contains 500 to 600 milligrams per liter of dissolved
solids, which is considered undesirable for drinking by most health
standards. It is rated in the top 10 of the most polluted cities with over 24
hazardous chemicals in its water supply.

Sierra Club director, Carl Pope, is the author of
“
Hazardous Waste in
America.
”
 He recently wrote in
California Magazine:
 “The water that is
rejected at the Sacramento tap flows into the city sewers, where it mixes
with household waste and industrial effluent containing a variety of heavy
metals and solvents. Some of these, but only some, are removed by the
sewage treatment plant.Agricultu
ral Drainage into t
he Aqueducts

The remainder of the water dissolves in the effluent, and pours down
into
the Delta where the Sacramento is joined by the San Joaquin River. Down
the San Joaquin River come toxaphene, mercury, chlordane, PCB
’
s,
arsenic, cadmium, copper, chromium, lead and selenium, all of which are
on the EPA
’
s list of priority pollutants. This mix makes it one of the most
heavily polluted rivers in the state. Most of this pollution comes from
surface and subsurface agricultural drainage into the aqueducts; the
remainder comes from mining, timber and other industrial activities. The
Delta itself adds more pesticides and herbicides from agricultural
operations, heavy metals from energy facilities and organics from gasoline
storage and transfer facilities. EPA officials estimate that of the 2.5 million
storage tanks, as many as 100,000 are leaking 11 million gallons of
gasoline a year. Other sources indicate that as many as 420,000 tanks
may be leaking now; and experts predict that 75% of all tanks will begin
leaking over the next 5 to 10 years. Then, as the water makes its way to
San Jose, Los Angeles and San Diego in the California Aqueduct, it
continues to pick up pesticide residue from spraying operations on farm
lands along the aqueduct itself.
“
As goes California, so goes the rest of
the country.
”

LEGALIZED POISONING

Every year, millions of pounds of chemicals that can cause cancer, birth
defects or sterility – even in trace amounts –are released directly or
indirectly into our drinking water. This takes place with the approval,
sanction and authority of state and federal agencies. In addition to these
contaminants, the water utilities add many other chemicals during
treatment. A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, water is only truly pure if it
is distilled. In its natural state, water contains a number of chemicals,
among them sodium, calcium, fluoride, carbon dioxide, and a number of
minerals. Most minerals found in water are inorganic which our bodies do
not chelate and assimilate. But nature
’
s contribution is only a start.

As many as 60 chemicals may be added during the collection, treatment
and delivery process; e.g., CHLORINE: a disinfectant to kill bacteria and
other microorganisms. (Science has now discovered that when chlorine
comes in contact with decayed plant and animal matter, trihalomethanes
[THM
’
s] are created, which have been found to cause cancer in humans.)

LIME: added to retard corrosion of pipes, or to neutralize water that is too
acidic. COPPER SULFATE: to kill algae. ALUMINUM SULFATE: to force
solid particles to

I answered to her and she said me that I must leave the hospital and go to a
conference in the temple of Our Lady of Consolation next Tuesday.
I said to her what she was going to think it If I leave it to God.
When several Doctors got to review me I asked them, What if they were going
to cure me by taking the tumor out, but again I would have another tumor grow?
They did not answer. I only saw their eyes and I interpreted their silence.
Soon after I ask that J better leave the hospital and I want to go to my house.
They said to me that was far better and there is a possible that I may live more
time. They helped me to leave and to discharge me the from the hospital.
When I arrived at my house I felt very alone and I thought, now what do I do?
They will no longer operate on me, and here 1 am i11.
Then I remembered what the lady said to me that Tuesday I should go to the
temple. I went to the temple and listened to the seated conference. Alone I was at

Martha Pacheco { Olando, { Florida USA }
My name is Martha Pachecho and my testimony is about


 And welcoming says, “Y es, you are welcome here.”
A wareness is always welcomin g of everything. No negative f eeling, no matter
how strong, can stand up against the welcoming of A waren ess. In fact, no
negativity whatsoever can stand up against the welcoming of A wareness.
It s eems counterintuitive to w elcome something you don’ t want, but it’ s
resistance that holds what you don’ t want to you, and welcoming stops you from
resisting! It can be challenging n ot to resist or tense up against a  negative feeling,
but when you open your atten tion and welcome the feeling, miraculously the
resistance ceases, and the negative feeling—which is just ener gy—dissolves. The
situation that you were resisting will then be able to change.
Remember, opening your attention is like zooming out with a camera lens so
you’re n ot focused on any detail  with your mind. Make sure that you don’ t focus
into the feeling. That will make it stronger, because the mind incr eases  anything
we focus on. Notice the feeling, but don’ t focus into it. Keep your attention wide.
T eacher Hale Dwoskin suggests that, in the beginning, it can b e helpful to open
your arms out to  the side of your body when you open your atte ntion. Open your
arms as though you are welcoming somebody you love whom you’re about to
embrace. This helps you open your heart (we have a tendency to keep the heart
area of our body per manently contracted, without realizing we’re doing it). I
consciously open my heart when I welcome anything in life that I do not want.
My teacher says that when we’re welcoming, we are bein g our true self,
A wareness, beca use welcoming is our very nature. In fact, the In finite A wareness
that you  are is so welcoming that negative feelings can’ t possi bly remain in its
presence. Quite simply, when you welcome anything negative, you allow it to
dissolve back into its source— Y ou, A wareness! And so when you welcome a
negative feeling you are tapping into your infinite power to dissolve it.T eacher Francis  Lucille says tha t as we become more establish ed in welcoming,
we realize that w elcoming is not really an activity of its own; r ather, welcoming
stops the  activity  of resistance. I nitially we think that welcoming is something we
do, and as we practice it more, we realize that it’ s actually stopping  us from
doing something many of us do automatically—resisting.
“The fee ling eva porates because  it’ s only ener gy, so when a fee ling arises, notice
it is only ener gy and welcome it. It has arisen because you’re ready to be free of
it.”
My teacher
What Hurts Y ou, Blesses Y ou
Some ye ars ago, I found myself in a state of depression. At that time I didn’ t
know most of the things that I’m sharing in this book, but fo rtunately, I knew
how I had brought about depression. My daughter was very  sick at the time and I
feared for her l ife, and I had one terrifying thought after another. Because I
believed those fearful thoughts, in a few months they sent me sp iraling down into
depression.
“Feelings like anger or sadness exist only to alert you to the  fact that you’re
believing your own stories.”
Byr on Katie, fr om  A Mind at Home with Itself
T o lift myself ou t of the depress ion I tried to think positive thoughts and thoughts
of gratit ude, but  what I discovered is that our thoughts have ve ry little power in
the depths of depression. It’ s a safety mechanism that protects us from our
thoughts manife sting when we’re down really low in despair or depression. So,
with the failure of my usual way to turn things around, I had to find another way.
I de cided that i f I couldn’ t ov erride the depression with positive thoughts, I
would ju st stop  resisting the de pression, because I knew that “what you resist
persists.” So I c losed my eyes and focused inside my body where the depression
seemed to dwell. I opened myself up to that black cloud of depression as if I were
stretching my arms out to welcome it, and as if I were embracing it by putting my
arms aro und it, just as you would greet someone you love dearly and haven’ t
seen in a long time. I opened up my heart and loved the depression as best I
could and pulled it in close toward me. For a few seconds it worsened, and then
all o f a sudden i t became lighter and lighter, and then completely dissolved. In a
matter of seconds it had gone—just like that. The relief was exquisite.
A fe w hours later the feeling of depression came back, but it was much less
intense than before. I followed  the same process, and I con tinued to do it
whenever the depression reappeared. Each time I did the practice, the depression
got weaker and weaker, and in just a few days it had totally gone.
“The moment you accept what troubles you’ve been given, the door will open.”
Rumi
I kn ow without any doubt that I will never suf fer from depression again. It has
left my body permanently.If I can do this with depression, you can do it with any negative feeling. When
you do it yourself, you will understand the process much better. Dissolving a
negative emotion when it’ s in full flight is the best feeling in the world. Instead
of resisting the feeling of depres sion, which only made it worse and held it to me,
I did  the  opposit e. In my own way, even though I didn’ t know it at the time, I had
intuitively welcomed the negative feeling of depression.
Since th at time, I have used the same practice for any negative f eelings that have
arisen, f or negative thoughts, and I have also used it for any painful sensations in
the b ody, like a cramp in the foot or a headache. I’ve found that bodily sensations
can dissolve as quickly as negative feelings when they’re not resisted.
Use the welcoming process for anything that makes you feel bad, any negative
thoughts or stories, negative feelings, painful sensations or  memories, and
limiting beliefs. W elcoming free s you from emotional bondage and allows your
life to change for the better in every possible way.
“When we love our hate, we stop hating. Love always wins. T o love hatred
means to  welcom e it. It doesn’ t mean that we should do what it tells us to do, but
we shouldn’ t suppress it either. When we love hatred, we put ourselves out of the
process of hatred, and love begins.”
Francis Lucille, fr om  The Perfume of Silence
Negative feeling s like fear can be immensely uncomfortable, or even terrifying,
which is  why many of us have developed the habit of automatically suppressing
them ra ther than facing them. But they have fooled us. When we allow any
negative feeling to be present, welcoming it without trying to  push it away, it
may feel overwhelming for a couple of seconds as it intensifies, but then it
completely disappears.
When y ou have allowed a bad feeling to be present and you haven’ t suppressed
it, that feeling will never be as strong in you again. Y ou have weakened it, and it
is now on its way out. A few more times of allowing the feeling to be present and
it w ill be release d from your bo dy. W atch then how much happiness floods into
your body, and how much good ness floods into your life from just one negative
feeling being released.
“Sometimes we surrender a feeling and we notice that it returns or continues.
This is because there is more o f it yet to be surrendered. W e have stuf fed these
feelings all of our lives and there can be a lot of ener gy pushed down that needs
to come up and be acknowledged. When surrender occurs, there is an immediate
lighter, happier feeling, almost like a ‘high.’”
Dr. David R. Hawkins, fr om  Letting Go
The relief that you will feel from releasing negative feelings from the body is
exquisite. And with every released negative feeling your body will become
lighter, your life more ef fortless, and you will find your happiness expanding.
Y ou also gain m omentum the more you do it, and it becomes ea sier and easier to
release negative feelings. Y ou’ll reach a point where most negative feelings
dissolve instantly, because they  are automatically released the moment you’re
aware of them. This is the infinite power of A wareness.
“Releasing is like breathing—it’ s natural. Inhale and exhale.”
My teacher“That’ s what every uncomforta ble feeling is for—that’ s what pain is for, what
money is for, what everything in the world is for: your self-realization.”
Byr on Katie, fr om  Loving What Is
Every negative feeling is there to direct you back home to who you are. They
alert you to the fact that you’re believing stories that are not true, so you can
welcome those feelings and live  your life as the

most common joint disorders. It affects women
2-3 times more often than men and its causes are

portant role, especially the autoimmune pr ocess
characterized by the production of lymphocytes
and antibodies against bodily tissues. In simpler
terms, an infection or chemical compounds alter
normal tissues in such a way that the immune
system starts treating them as foreign and de-
stroys them.
Dry fasting is a total detox. It destroys all the
infections and everything foreign to the body.
Above all, DF qualitatively and quantitatively re-
stores the immune system function, which is the
most important one in the body; it strengthens
the barriers of c ells, organs and systems, reinvig-
orates the blood pool (microvasculature) and,
last but not least, provides a long -term (pro-
longed) medical and preventive effect.
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frWhen I first started treating patients with dry
fasting, my first patient was a man with rheu ma-
toid arthritis. His fingers and toes were de-
formed, all his joints ached, and he couldn’t even
get up without pills and injections. He agreed to
undergo dry fasting at once. Before meeting with
me, he underwent all the popular treatment
methods: herbalists, healers, acupuncture, etc.
"Sergey Ivanovich, I won’t be surprised at any-
thing. I think it won’t be worse, but I intuitively
feel that there’s a chance."
When I told him that he might suffer from in-
somnia during dry fasting, he said, “ It won’t sur-
prise me, as I’ve had insomnia due to pain for
eight years. ” He was a former athlete with a
strong will. He tolerated fasting very well. When
I checked on my patients, he either read or

no changes, and all his symptoms were the same.
On the 8th day, I decided that I would stop his
treatment on the next day, as it seemed useless
and his condition did not seem to succumb to
treatment. His joints started burning severely in
the evening. When I checked him in the morn-
ing of the 9th day, I saw him pe rforming push -
ups, and he had tears in his eyes. He could per-
form them without pain for the first time in eight
years. He fasted for eleven days. His joints
stopped aching, their deformity diminished, the
range of movement increased, and even a few
rheumat oid nodules disappeared. He had no re-
currences for the past seven years. His disability
benefits were taken away, since he stopped going
to the clinic, and now he works as a driver. He

year. What if I stopped his treatment? I always
wonder what would have happened in this case.
The biggest difference between dry and water
fasting is that the second acidotic crisis is the
most curative. It starts between the 8th and the
11th day. Sometimes, one night can decide every-
thing, though this period is very difficult psycho-
logically. We had many patients with rheuma-
toid arthritis. Of course, not all of them had such
positive results. We couldn’t help some of them
at all. What are the reasons for failures? Some
patients cannot go through the necessary thera-
peutic fasting period, while others have a very
long history of hormonal therapy, so that all the
natural healing powers of the body are sup-
pressed by chemicals.

People often write and ask me whether fasting
can help wi th such an incurable and severe dis-
ease as multiple sclerosis? Multiple sclerosis is a
chronic disease of the central nervous system,
and it’s often unpredictable and progressive.
Multiple sclerosis affects the brain, optic nerves,
and the spinal cord. It leads to the disruption of
corresponding bodily functions. The disease is
characterized by the formation of randomly
scattered demyelination areas (loss of myelin, a
white fatty substance covering axons (nerve fi-
bers). Incidence rate. Multiple sclerosis us ually
starts at a young age, but it can manifest at any
age between 15 and 60 years. Women are more
susceptible to this disease than men. The highest
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frincidence rate is among Caucasians living in a
temperate climate. The disease isn’t hereditary.
Over 300,000 people suffer from multiple scle-
rosis in the US. Multiple sclerosis ranks third on
the list of full disability causes in the reproduc-
tive age after injuries and rheumatologic dis-
eases. About 3,000,000 people in the world suffer
from multiple sclerosis. The disease prevalence
depends on geographical areas. The lowest rate
is on the equator, and it increases to the north
and the south. 10 -70 people per 100,000 have
multiple sclerosis in Russia. Its cause is un-
known. There’s a belief that the disease can be
linked to a viral infection in the early childhood
and autoimmune processes in the central nerv-
ous system.
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frDuring recurrences, there are acute inflamma-
tion centers with a swollen medullary sheath.
Several weeks or months later, local inflamma-
tion and swel ling stop, leaving multiple scars or
lesions called plaques. Meanwhile, the axons are
preserved. This process explains why patients
may experience a partial or almost full recovery.
However, if a new locus of inflammation is near
the old one, the recovery will be less complete.

Treatment.  There is no treatment or preventa-
tive method with proven effectiveness. L.G.
Shchennikov, a professor of traditional medicine
and one of the main DF experts and practition-
ers (he now calls his method Healing Abstinence
from water and food), told me about this case of

dry fasting:
“Vladimir D. from Podolsk came for a consul-
tation on Healing Abstinence from food in early
September 2000. He was accompanied by his
spouse. She was the one who found the recom-
mendations on this method in the media and
brought her husband in, explaining that it was
their last hope. He asked her to leave the office
for a while, and then he started to tell his story,
which was full of pain and hopelessne ss. The
middle -aged man turned out to be a former ath-
lete and a boxer. His diagnosis - multiple sclero-
sis, made by doctors, ruined his career and left
him with no hope for a productive life. (...) They
offered treatment, but it only got worse. He had
to us e a wheelchair. The man was close to

tion. “I’m ready to do anything to get rid of the
wheelchair and be able to do at least something
on my own. Can you help me?"
-“You can help yourself, but you need a str ong
will and desire,” I replied.
