behind
my
ear
all
the
way
to
my
collarbone.
After
further
compresses
with
evaporated
urine,
the
pus
stopped
flowing
and
the
pain
disappeared.'
Comment
and
recommendation:
This
woman
must
first
go
through
the
entire
course
of
healing
steps:
cleanse
the
intestine,
liver,
blood
vessels
and
tissues,
go
to
the
steam
room
orsauna
more
often.
Continue
compresses
with
evaporated
urine
on
the
mole
area.
Example:
“My
wife
accidentally
tore
off
her
birthmark
on
her
back
four
years
ago.
A
scar
formed
that
did
not
heal
all
these
years.
No
treatment
helped.
Occasionally
a
scab
would
form,
but
the
wound
would
reopen
and
be
an
unhealthy,
dark
red
to
blue
color.
After
compresses
with
evaporated
urine,
the
scar
disappeared.
The
skin
in
its
place
is
a
healthy,
pink
color.'
Example:
"One
time
I
had
severe
breast
pain
and
induration.
I
should
have
gone
to
the
hospital,
but
drinking
urine
in
the
morning
and
at
noon
and
compresses
helped
me.
Also,
breast
inflammation
during
breastfeeding
disappeared
practically
within
a
few
hours
after
compresses
with
baby's
urine.
Example:
"Six
years
ago
I
had
a
cyst
removed
from
my
right
ovary
and
now
the
cyst
has
reappeared
on
the
left.
The
doctor
advised
me
to
have
surgery.
I
starved
for
10
days
and
drank
75
grams
of
urine
4
times
a
day.
The
cyst
first
shrunk
by
half,
and
then
they
didn't
detect
it
at
all.
Just
a
miracle.”
Recommendation:
This
woman
writes
that
she
had
constant
bowel
problems.
These
must
be
removed
by
thorough
cleaning,
because
cysts
are
the
result
of
a
clogged
intestine.
Example:
"The
nurse
has
mastopathy
of
the
right
breast.
They
irradiated
her
24
times!
Everything
was
fine
for
a
long
time,
but
then
the
breast
became
inflamed
again
and
turned
red.
The
nurse
did
not
go
to
the
hospital
and
began
to
be
treated
with
urine
therapy:
drinking
urine,
compresses,
massages
with
urine
plus
10
days
of
fasting.
Two
days
after
the
fast,
blood
serum
began
to
flow
from
her
chest.
The
temperature
decreased
and
the
redness
subsided.
The
only
thing
that
scares
me
is
that
the
blood
was
sometimes
dark
red.
What
to
do
next?'
Recommendation:
It
is
necessary
to
starve
only
after
thorough
cleansing
of
the
body.
Already
at
the
beginning
of
the
cleansing
of
the
intestine,
liver,
etc.,
it
is
necessary
to
drink
urine
twice,
three
times
a
day,
100-150
grams
each,
and
apply
compresses
made
of
urine,
according
to
one's
choice,
preferably
in
the
form
of
clay
compresses,
so-called
cataplasms,
to
the
breast.
If
the
problems
do
not
go
away
even
after
a
month,
then
it
is
necessary
to
proceed
with
water
and
urine
starvation.
Example:
"I
had
a
bad
cold
and
cough
for
about
three
months.
An
acquaintance
advised
me
to
drink
urine.
I
didn't
have
to
prepare
for
it
in
any
way,
I
was
already
drinking
kerosene.
I
started
drinking
half
a
glass
several
times
a
day
without
changing
my
diet.
In
a
week
the
cough
got
over
me.
In
addition,
the
swelling
of
my
lymph
nodes
disappeared
within
two
months."
Example:
"The
neighbor
suffers
from
bladder
cancer.
After
cleansing
her
bowels
and
drinking
fresh
urine,
her
urine
output
returned
to
normal
after
five
years."
Example:
"I
had
a
malignant
tumor
the
size
of
a
pea
in
the
corner
of
my
right
eye
at
the
base
of
my
nose.
I
started
treating
him
with
urine.
I
didn't
rub
it,
just
touched
it
lightly.
Two
weeks
later
I
found
out
one
morning
that
the
tumor
was
gone.'
Example:
"I
follow
your
advice
and
without
starving,
I
got
rid
of
hemorrhoids,
pain
in
my
legs
and
lower
back
in
a
year,
I
forgot
what
a
cold
is
and
inflammation
of
the
upper
respiratory
tract
and
sinuses,
even
an
enlar ged
prostate,
which
the
doctors
already
wanted
to
operate
on
me
twice.
I
am
a
war
invalid.'
Example:
"I
want
to
tell
you
how
my
mother
treated
herself
with
urine
20
years
ago.
The
diagnosis
was:
a
tumor
and
rupture
of
the
small
intestine.
She
drank
urine
several
times
a
day
without
ceasing.
The
crack
healed
and
the
tumor
disappeared.
The
treatment
was
advised
by
a
woman
who
cured
herself
of
small
intestine
cancer
with
urine."
Example:
"My
five-year -old
daughter
began
to
have
trouble
hearing
due
to
polyps.
They
operated
on
her
twice,
but
the
polyps
reappeared.
That's
why
I
started
to
drip
into
mydaughter's
nose
her
fresh
urine
half
a
pipette
into
each
hole
as
many
times
a
day
as
she
peed.
The
treatment
lasted
two
weeks,
and
I
dripped
evaporated
urine
into
her
ears.
The
result
is
100%
hearing.
At
the
same
time,
the
doctors
determined
the
diagnosis:
deafness
of
the
2nd
degree."
Example:
"The
patient
hit
herself
in
the
chest
three
years
ago.
A
tumor
the
size
of
a
hen's
egg
appeared
at
the
site
of
the
bruise.
The
doctors
decided
on
an
operation.
The
patient
was
afraid
of
the
operation
and
began
to
drink
urine
in
the
morning
and
evening,
at
night
she
put
compresses
with
heated
urine
with
a
teaspoon
of
soda
and
a
teaspoon
of
vinegar.
After
severe
itching
and
even
burning
of
the
skin,
she
stopped
using
the
compresses
for
a
while,
but
then
resumed
them
again.
Within
a
month,
the
tumor
had
shrunk
considerably
and
they
canceled
the
operation.
After
another
month,


	water	does;	the	body	uses	it	to	only
cleanse	the	tissues.

5.	Take	Ionic	Essential	Minerals

Your	body	is	like	“living	soil.”	If	it	has	sufficient	minerals	and	trace	elements	to	work
with,	it	is	able	to	nurture	you	and	produce	everything	you	need	to	live	and	grow.	These
essential	materials,	however,	can	easily	become	depleted	when	you	do	not	get	enough	of
them	from	the	food	you	eat.	Centuries	of	constant	use	of	the	same	agricultural	fields	have
led	to	foods	that	are	highly	nutrient-deficient.	The	situation	worsened	with	the	onset	of
chemical	fertilizers,	which	force	crops	to	grow	more	rapidly	without	regard	for	nutrient
availability.	When	minerals	and	trace	elements	run	low	in	the	body,	important	functions
can	no	longer	be	sustained,	or	they	become	subdued.	Disease	is	generally	accompanied	by
a	lack	of	one	or	more	of	these	important	substances.

Because	of	the	unnatural	situation	today	of	mineral	depletion	in	our	soil	and,	therefore,in	our	bodies,	it	may	be	useful	to	supplement	with	minerals.	The	crucial	question	is
whether	the	minerals	sold	in	nutrition	stores	or	pharmacies	are	capable	of	replenishing	the
mineral	supply	to	the	cells	of	the	body.	The	answer	is,	“Highly	unlikely!”

Minerals	are	commonly	made	available	in	three	basic	forms:	capsules,	tablets,	and
colloidal	mineral	water.	Before	the	depletion	of	soils,	plant	foods	were	our	ideal	mineral
provider.	When	a	plant	grows	in	a	healthy	soil	environment,	it	absorbs	existing	colloidal
minerals	and	changes	them	into	ionic,	eater-soluble	form.	The	ionic	minerals	are	an
angstrom	in	size,	whereas	the	colloidal	minerals,	also	known	as	inorganic,	metallic
minerals,	are	about	10,000	times	larger	(micron-size).	Ionic,	water-soluble	plant	minerals
are	absorbed	readily	by	body	cells.	In	contrast,	colloidal	particles	packed	into	complex
compounds,	and	delivered	in	pill	form,	stand	less	than	a	1	percent	chance	of	absorption.
The	minerals	found	in	colloidal	mineral	waters	are	not	absorbed	any	better.	They	are	not
water-soluble,	but	simply	suspended	between	water	molecules.

Common	colloidal	particles,	such	as	the	compounds	calcium	carbonate	and	zinc
picolinate,	tend	to	get	caught	in	the	bloodstream	and	are	subsequently	deposited	in	various
parts	of	the	body.	In	the	form	of	deposits,	they	can	cause	major	mechanical,	structural,	and
functional	damage.	Many	health	problems	today,	including	osteoporosis,	heart	disease,
cancer,	arthritis,	brain	disorders,	kidney	stones,	gallstones,	and	so	on,	are	the	direct	result
of	ingesting	such	metallic	minerals.

Fortunately,	there	is	a	very	efficient	way	to	obtain	minerals	in	the	size	of,	and	with	the
characteristics	of,	plant	minerals.	When	vaporized	in	a	vacuum	chamber	(without	oxygen),
minerals	are	prevented	from	oxidizing	and	forming	into	complex	states.	Once	vaporized,
the	minerals	can	be	combined	with	purified	water	and	be	made	readily	available	to	the
cells	of	the	body.	One	company	located	in	Minnesota	has	managed	to	create	a	delivery
process	capable	of	converting	colloids	into	99.9	percent	water-soluble,	ionic	minerals.	The
company,	Eniva,	makes	these	minerals	available	via	distributorship	(see
Suppliers	List
	in
the	Appendix).
1
	VIBE	is	the	product	of	choice.	More	companies	now	offer	similar	ionic
minerals;	you	can	easily	locate	them	on	the	Internet.

6.	Drinking	Enough	Water

To	produce	the	right	amount	of	bile	each	day	(1-1½	quarts),	which	the	body	requires	for
proper	digestion	of	food,	the	liver	needs	plenty	of	water.	In	addition,	the	body	uses	up	a	lot
of	water	to	maintain	normal	blood	volume,	hydrate	the	cells	and	connective	tissues,
cleanse	out	toxins,	and	carry	out	literally	thousands	of	other	functions.	Since	the	body
cannot	store	water	the	way	it	stores	fat,	it	is	dependent	on	regular,	sufficient	water	intake.
	To	maintain	proper	bile	production	and	bile	consistency,	as	well	as	balanced	blood
values,	you	need	to	drink	about	six	to	eight	glasses	of	water	each	day.	The	most	important
time	to	drink	water	is	right	after	getting	up:	First,	drink	one	glass	of	warm	water	to	make	it
easier	for	the	kidneys	to	dilute	and	excrete	urine	formed	during	the	night.	This	is	of	great
importance	because	urine	is	highly	concentrated	in	the	morning;	if	it	is	not	diluted
properly,	urinary	waste	products	may	settle	in	both	the	kidneys	and	the	urinary	bladder.
Second,	drink	another	glass	of	warm	water	to	which	you	can	add	the	juice	of	up	to	½	of	a
fresh	lemon	and	1	teaspoon	of	raw	honey.	This	helps	to	cleanse	the	GI	tract.

Other	important	times	for	drinking	a	glass	of	water	(not	chilled)	are	about	½	hour
before	and	2½	hours	after	meals.	These	are	the	times	when	a	well-hydrated	body	would
naturally	signal	thirst.	Having	enough	water	available	at	those	times	ensures	that	the
blood,	bile,	and	lymph	remain	sufficiently	fluid	to	conduct	their	respective	activities	in	the
body.	Since	hunger	and	thirst	signals	use	the	same	hormonal	alert	system	in	the	body,	if
you	happen	to	feel	“hungry”	during	those	times,	it	is	more	likely	that	you	are	actually
running	out	of	water.	Therefore,	it	is	best	to	drink	a	glass	of	room	temperature	or	warm
water	first	and	then	see	whether	your	hunger	has	subsided	or	not.

If	you	suffer	from	high	blood	pressure	and	use	medicinal	drugs	for	this	condition,	make
sure	you	have	your	blood	pressure	monitored	regularly.	With	an	increase	in	your	water
consumption,	your	blood	pressure	may	return	to	normal	within	a	relatively	short	period	of
time.	This	would	make	the	intake	of	medication	obsolete	and	even	harmful.	By	drinking
enough	water,	you	may	also	start	to	lose	weight	if	you	are	overweight,	or	gain	weight	if
you	are	underweight.

It	is	equally	important	to	choose	a	water	treatment	system	that	gives	you	fresh,	healthy
water.	The	H
2
O	water	treatment	system,	for	example,	is	very	efficient	and	health-
promoting,	but	it	is	also	quite	expensive.	Its	unique	technology	even	removes	pesticides
and	herbicides	from	the	water	and	leaves	your	drinking,	shower,	and	pool	water	as	fresh
and	clean	as	pure	mountain	water.

The	H

 No mat ter how many thoughts you’ve had in
your life, there are infinitely more you can think; no matter how
many sentences writers have written, there are infinitely more to
write. Words and thoughts are not stored in the brain like
information in a computer, to be juggled around mechanically
when another thought is needed. Shakespeare wasn’t simply
juggling his Elizabethan vocabulary—he employed wor ds in a
creative way. Van Gogh didn’t simply combine the standard colors
in the spectrum; he used col or as a new way of seeing the world
around him.
Going b eyond is how a per son decides if life is meani ngful
enough. When  you want mor e than your life is giving you, it’s not
your br ain that craves more meaning, nor is it the everyday person
going a bout the routine business of life. The self, viewing things
from a higher perspective, is deciding the matter. The self also
decides whom to love, what is  truth, whether to trust, and so on. If
a m other judges that a cranky  three-year-old needs a nap, she has
gone beyond a simple assessment of what the child is doing and
saying. Cranky children say all kinds of things, and if mothers
bought into them, they’d be no better than children.
If g oing beyond has proven  so indispensable, why aren’t we
metahuman al ready? There is no reason to keep repeating the
same trite, tired opinions, follow the same outworn social
conventions, and surrender to conformist thinking. All pose traps
that we fall int o, and the res ult is more of the same strife, wars,
domestic violence, racial prejudice, and gender inequality that we
have been prey to throughou t history. We choose to be our own
prisoners. This paradox, playing the part of inmate and jailer at
the same time, has caused untold suffering for humanity.
To brin g the whole sorry me ss to an end involves one thing:
shifting from human to met ahuman. Both states exist here and
now. There is nowhere to go  to reach metareality. Like the twobirds in  the tree, you are feasting on life while also looking  on. But
the looking-on part is being ignored, suppressed, overlooked, and
undervalued. T he transforma tion that makes you metahuman is
known in the world’s spiritual traditions as “waking up.” Once
someone rises to the state of metahuman, it seems as if the old
everyday self was a sleepwalker, barely conscious of life’s infinite
possibilities.
To b e awake i s to embrace full self-awareness. Lots of other
metaphors com e to mind. Metahuman is like tuning in to the
whole radio band instead of one narrow channel. It’s like  a string
vibrating to a higher note. It’s like seeing a world in a grain of
sand. But like  is a limiting word. The real thing is indescribable
and must be ex perienced firsthand, just as sight is indescribable to
someone born blind and yet revelatory if that person gains sight.
Editors encourage writers to coax readers, using a big promise
of some thing, new, fresh, and different. Waking up is as old as
being human. It’s impossible to promise something like waking
up, whi ch is indescribable in the first place. Looking bac k on my
previous works, I feel that I  was inhibited by how peculiar and
mysterious it is to wake up. T his time, however, I’ve taken a deep
breath and gone for broke. I’m trusting that the reader isn’t
someone born blind to whom sight is completely unknowable.
With a modicum of trust, we can all be shown that we are already
metahuman and that metareality is here and now.
I don’t know who will be persuaded and who won’t. In the end,
the mys tery of  being human obeys only itself. But one thing I do
have faith in. If in reading this book you connect with what it
means to wake up, you will realize the truth in much le ss time
than th e thirty years I look back on. The faster that met ahuman
dawns in our lives, the better.TOVER VIEW

C H O I C E  O F  A  L I F E T I M E
here are many things people do to improve their lives. You
might s ay that  developed societies live in a golden age, as far as
standard of living goes. It has become realistic to look forward to
decades of good health, to eat organic whole foods available
around the corner, not to m ention having things that were once
out of reach for the average  person, such as owning yo ur own
home and retiring in relative security.
It is  strange, t hen, that millions of people strive to imp rove
their lives without improving their personal reality. The two are
intimately entwined, and if you don’t improve your reality, there’s
something shaky and unreliable about improving your life. Reality
isn’t simply the world “ou t there”—it is very personal. Two
commuters going to the same job might look at the world entirely
differently, one feeling anxious about job security and the prospect
of bein g fired,  the other pla cidly content and optimistic. Giving
birth could be the same p hysical event, without any medical
complications, for two new mothers, but one might suffer from
postpartum depression while the other is filled with maternal joy.Personal realit y defines us. It consists of all the thing s we
believe in, the e motions we feel, our unique set of memories, and a
lifetime of experiences and relationships. Nothing is more decisive
in how a person’s life turns out. So it is peculiar—one might say
profoundly mysterious—that we build our lives on a deep  lack of
knowledge about who we really are. Delve into any basic issue
about human existence, and behind the façade of expert opinion
lies a blankness where understanding should be.
We have no id ea why humans are designed to both love and
hate, preach peace and practice violence, swing between
happiness and despair, and lead lives governed by confidence one
moment and self-doubt the n ext. Right now you are acting out in
your own fashion all these c ontradictions. You are a mystery to
yourself, becau se everyone is a mystery to themselves. Wh at keeps
people moving  forward is the  routine of everyday life and the hope
that nothing goes horribly wrong.
I’m not devaluing the things m ost people live for—family, work,
and relationships. But, to be blunt, we don’t manage even the most
important thin gs with any confidence that we know what we’re
doing. It’s no wonder that w e spend so much time wo rking to
improve our lives and so lit tle working to improve our reality.
Reality is too c onfusing. We are better off ignoring the dee p water
and remaining where it is safe in the shallows.
A handful of people, however, have ventured into deeper
waters, and in every culture t hey bring back reports that are alien
and ins piring a t the same tim e. It’s inspiring to love your enemies,
but who really does? Being told that divine love is infinite doesn’t
make it  so in y our reality. Eternal peace vies with the pro spect of
crime, war, and violence in every age. A handful of people are
cherished as saints, with a good chance they will be labeled as mad
instead, or simply dismissed as too good for this world.
Yet one  thing is beyond doubt—personal reality is where the
whole game is played. It contains all the potential that humans
have fu lfilled, b ut also all the  limitations that hold us back. A New
York psychologist named Abraham Maslow, who died in 1970,
continues to be famous today because he swam against the tide.
Where the typical career in psychology consisted of examining the
ills a nd defects of the psyche,  Maslow felt that human natu re wentfar beyond everyday experie nce. His core idea, which has now
blossomed far beyond anyth ing he could have imagined, is that
humans are designed for extraordinary heights of experience, and,
more t han that, we should be creating these experiences in
everyday life. It was as if the only cars that were on the road were
junky ru st heaps, and someone announced that you could trade in
your clunker for a Mercedes or Jaguar.
If the only cars you see are junk heaps and the Mercedes and
Jaguars exist far across the o cean, your reality won’t change. But
Maslow, drawing on centur ies of spiritual aspirations, insisted
that the peak experiences in life are part of our design, that we
need and crave them. The key was to go beyond the everyday.
The notion of going beyond became the motivation for this
book.
To d iscover who you really a re, you must go beyond who  you
think you are. To find pea ce, you must go beyond f ear. To
experience unconditional love, you must go beyond conditional
love, th e kind that


 and similar,
even products that claim to be detoxification-enhancing, only delay healing and must be avoided.
Have you had any remarkable recoveries?
Of the over 30,000 patients I have taken care of I would call almost all remarkable, and many miraculous. Especially since
people usually come to me in very serious condition, often as a last resort after having tried everything else for years, but
only getting worse. The more toxic people are due to dangerous drugs taken during many years, the more necessary
correct detoxification is.

 involve first a critical examination of the forces that are responsible
for individual degeneration.
   In my search for the cause of degeneration of the human face and the dental organs I have been
unable to find an approach to the problem through the study of affected individuals and diseased
tissues. In my two volume work on "Dental Infections," Volume I, entitled "Dental Infections, Oral
and Systemic," and Volume II, entitled "Dental Infections and the Degenerative Diseases," (23) I
reviewed at length the researches that I had conducted to throw light on this problem. The
evidence seemed to indicate clearly that the forces that were at work were not to be found in the
diseased tissues, but that the undesirable conditions were the result of the absence of something,
rather than of the presence of something. This strongly indicated the need for finding groups of
individuals so physically perfect that they could be used as controls. In order to discover them, I
determined to search out primitive racial stocks that were free from the degenerative processes
with which we are concerned in order to note what they have that we do not have. These field
investigations have taken me to many parts of the world through a series of years. The following
chapters review the studies made of primitive groups, first, when still protected by their isolation,
and, second, when in contact with modern civilization.

Chapter 3
ISOLATED AND MODERNIZED SWISS
IN ORDER to study the possibility of greater nutritive value in foods produced at a high
elevation, as indicated by a lowered incidence of morbidity, including tooth decay, I went to
Switzerland and made studies in two successive years, 1931 and 1932. It was my desire to find, if
possible, groups of Swiss living in a physical environment such that their isolation would compel
them to live largely on locally produced foods. Officials of the Swiss Government were consulted
as to the possibility of finding people in Switzerland whose physical isolation provided an adequate
protection. We were told that the physical conditions that would not permit people to obtain
modern foods would prevent us from reaching them without hardship. However, owing to the
completion of the Loetschberg Tunnel, eleven miles long, and the building of a railroad that crosses
the Loetschental Valley, at a little less than a mile above sea level, a group of about 2,000 people
had been made easily accessible for study, shortly prior to 1931. Practically all the human
requirements of the people in that valley, except a few items like sea salt, have been produced in
the valley for centuries.
    A bird's eye view of the Loetschental Valley, looking toward the entrance, is shown in Fig. 1.
The people of this valley have a history covering more than a dozen centuries. The architecture of
their wooden buildings, some of them several centuries old, indicates a love for simple stability,
adapted to expediency and efficiency. Artistically designed mottoes, many of them centuries old,
are carved deep in the heavy supporting timbers, both within and without the buildings. They are
always expressive of devotion to cultural and spiritual values rather than to material values. These
people have never been conquered, although many efforts have been made to invade their valley.
Except for the rugged cleft through which the river descends to the Rhone Valley, the Loetschental
Valley is almost completely enclosed by three high mountain ranges which are usually snow-
capped. This pass could be guarded by a small band against any attacking forces since artificial
landslides could easily be released. The natural occurrence of these landslides has made passage
through the gorge hazardous, if not impossible, for months of the year. According to early legends
of the valley these mountains were the parapets of the universe, and the great glacier of the valley,
the end of the universe. The glacier is a branch of the great ice field that stretches away to the west7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 21/250and south from the ice-cap of the Jungfrau and Monch. The mountains, however, are seldom
approached from this direction because of the hazardous ice fields. The gateway to them with
which the traveling world is familiar is from Interlaken by way of the Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald
valleys.
Fig. 1. Beautiful Loetschental Valley about a mile above sea level.
About two thousand Swiss live here. In 1932 no deaths had occurred
from tuberculosis in the history of the valley.
    At the altitude of the Loetschental Valley the winters are long, and the summers short but
beautiful, and accompanied by extraordinarily rapid and luxuriant growth. The meadows are
fragrant with Alpine flowers, with violets like pansies, which bloom all summer in deepest hues.
    The people of the Loetschental Valley make up a community of two thousand who have been a
world unto themselves. They have neither physician nor dentist because they have so little need for
them; they have neither policeman nor jail, because they have no need for them. The clothing has
been the substantial homespuns made from the wool of their sheep. The valley has produced not
only everything that is needed for clothing, but practically everything that is needed for food. It has
been the achievement of the valley to build some of the finest physiques in all Europe. This is
attested to by the fact that many of the famous Swiss guards of the Vatican at Rome, who are the
admiration of the world and are the pride of Switzerland, have been selected from this and other
Alpine valleys. It is every Loetschental boy's ambition to be a Vatican guard. Notwithstanding the
fact that tuberculosis is the most serious disease of Switzerland, according to a statement given me
by a government official, a recent report of inspection of this valley did not reveal a single case. I
was aided in my studies in Switzerland by the excellent cooperation of the Reverend John Siegen,
the pastor of the one church of this beautiful valley.
    The people live largely in a series of villages dotting the valley floor along the river bank. The
land that is tilled, chiefly for producing hay for feeding the cattle in the winter and rye for feeding
the people, extends from the river and often rises steeply toward the mountains which are wooded
with timber so precious for protection that little of it has been


 enema to stimulate the excretion of t oxins. The procedure for this is
explained earlier in this book. One or two a day ma y be taken depending upon the
severity of the toxic condition. In an extreme toxi c reaction, both the discontinuance of
supplements and the coffee enema should be used.
Allergic Reactions
Sometimes you may experience an allergic reaction. This is particularly true when the
hydrochloric acid in the stomach is deficient and/o r when the liver and adrenal glands are in a
state of dysfunction or extreme exhaustion. The all ergic reaction is similar to the toxic condition. You may just not feel well, be nauseated and/or eve n develop a skin rash, shortness of breath,
etc. Taking too many supplements at once for the fi rst time can bring this about. If you tend to be
allergic, you should start your supplemental progra m by taking only one supplement for three
days, than adding the second one. Continue both for  three more days, then add the third
supplement. In three days, add the next one and so forth, until you can tolerate the complete
suggested supplemental program.
Physiological Balancing
As you begin to physiologically balance your body c hemistry, other reactions may take place. It
is not easy to change from lifelong habits of fault y eating of devitalized, processed foods to a
new system of eating natural, life-giving foods and  taking individualized needed supplements.
Following this metabolic program should bring about  a readjustment of body chemistry. The
body, meeting this changing situation, often respon ds in surprising ways to this process. The
longer the deficiencies have existed, the more prev alent the response is likely to be. Additional
reactions may occur as the body adapts and stabiliz es. The reactions that often occur are:
• Canker sores
• Constipation
• Craving for unusual foods
• Diarrhea
• Dizziness
• Dry mouth
• Excessive gas
• Fever blisters
• Headaches
• Increased thirst
• Insomnia
• Loss of appetite
• Migrating pains
• Nausea
• Nervousness
• Nightmares
• Rash or hives
• Running nose
• Various body aches and pains, both in the joints an d muscles.
• Weakness
When these reactions occur, you can be assured your  body is responding and changes are taking
place. If you think of these as correcting crises, it will be easy to accept them as steps on the road
to better health. If they occur, they are only temp orary and are but a small price to pay for the
long-lasting benefits.
*Chapter X* Cancer Heroes’ Testimonials
It is the nature of the Medical Establishment to sa y, "These Cancer cases did not have Cancer
and that is why they are still alive and cancer fre e." However many of these patients were
diagnosed by biopsy at the most prestigious institu tions in the United States and Canada.
Furthermore, in 1985, the actual Biopsy Slides were  reviewed and confirmed by the renowned
Pathologist Dr. Robert A. Good, Ph.D., former Presi dent of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering
Cancer Center of New York City.
The Medical Establishment often accuses their enemy  of doing exactly what they themselves do:
Lie, deceive, and cover up. The media then screams it so loud and long that many of the gullible
finally believe it to be true without any proof wha tsoever. However, in the case of my patients,
the Establishment cannot do this. This frustrates t hem to no end, and they have devised many
ways to destroy and discredit the Cancer Heroes. No where in the Orthodox or Alternative
Medical Communities are so many Cancer Heroes truly  documented with such long Cancer-free
life spans.
Introduction To Dr. Kelley’s Cancer Heroes
We are bringing to your attention two groups of can cer heroes. These cancer heroes, except as
noted, were all alive and well and cancer-free in 1 986. I unplugged my computer on the 30th of
August 1986, and closed the doors on the Kelley pro gram. Many of these heroes are still alive
and well. I spoke to several in 1997 and 1998. I fe el many others will contact me when they find
this booklet. The Cancer Heroes are listed in two g roups as follows:
Group I
Dr. Carol A. Morrison, M.D., F.A.C.C. and Dr. Kelle y contacted these patients in late 1986.
Group I patients were also written up by Nick Gonza lez for technical publication. Under the
direction of the former president of Sloan-Ketterin g Institute, Dr. Robert Good, Mr. Gonzalez
spent five years of serious investigation and revie w of the medical records of Dr. Kelley’s
patients. Of the thousands of cancer patients avail able, they narrowed the group down to 1,000
original patients who could meet the high standards  of this study. Of the 1,000 qualified patients,
they chose 50 to be written up. The 50 patients rep resented 25 types of cancer, half of which
were diagnosed at major medical centers such as the  Mayo Clinic, Sloan-Kettering Institute and
others. The results of this study were extraordinar y.
Hodgkin’s Disease
Hodgkin’s disease is a moderately rare cancer of th e lymphocyte system and associated organs
that claimed 1,500 lives in 1987.
Physicians classify this malignancy by a claimed 1, 500 system of four "stages" (I-IV). Stage I
represents early, localized disease; stage IV defin es advanced, widely disseminated cancer
involving many organs of the body. Stages II and II I include more intermediate forms.
Physicians further categorize Hodgkin’s disease by the letters "A" and "B." The designation "A" refers to patients without symptoms. The letter "B"  identifies patients with symptoms such as
fevers, chills, night sweats, and fatigue. Hodgkin’ s, if untreated, is often rapidly fatal. "A single
series of untreated patients reported by Croft in 1 941," writes Devita, head of the National
Cancer Institute, "leads us to believe that the cou rse of patients with Hodgkin’s disease, if left
untreated, regardless of the stage, is brief, measu red in 1 to 2 years. In that series, the median
survival was less than 1 year and most patients wer e dead by year 2, with fewer than 5% alive
after 5 years." At present, the "MOPP" chemotherapy  regimen is the most widely recommended
treatment for Hodgkin’s. This protocol employs four  drugs — nitrogen mustard, Oncovin
(vincristine), procarbazine and prednisone — given once every twenty-eight days for at least six
months. As Devita explains, "Unless chemotherapy is  contraindicated for medical reasons, all
patients treated with MOPP and other combinations s hould be given a minimum of six cycles (a
dose) or as many cycles as needed to achieve a comp lete remission, plus additional cycles to
consolidate the remission."(1) With protocols such as this, at least 50% of all patients will
survive five years.
Michael Moreland
Mr. Michael Moreland is a 37-year old man from Wash ington State alive nine years since
diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease. In late 1977, Mr.  Moreland developed mild fatigue and a
tender swelling in his neck that rapidly increased in size. In January of 1978 he consulted his
family physician, who suspected a low-grade infecti on and prescribed a course of Penicillin
therapy. With treatment, the swelling did decrease slightly over a period of a week, but then
worsened. In addition, Mr. Moreland began experienc ing drenching night sweats as well as sharp
pain in the upper part of his chest. Several weeks later, Mr. Moreland returned to his physician.
A chest X-ray revealed a large upper mediastinal ma ss, and laboratory studies were significant
for an elevated white blood count of 21,000 (upper limit of normal 10,000). Because of these
findings, on February 6, 1978 Mr. Moreland entered Vancouver Memorial Hospital in
Vancouver, Washington. On admission, Mr. Moreland w as noted to have extensive
lymphadenopathy in the cervical area, described in the records as: "A very large mass present in
the left side of the neck with some surrounding sma ller masses also present. There are some
more discrete masses on the right side as well, mea suring up to 3 to 4 centimeters in diameter.
There is a bilateral auxiliary adenopathy present."  The following day, Mr. Moreland went to
surgery. Subsequent evaluation of the tissue specim en confirmed an aggressive form of
Hodgkin’s disease, well-described in the official p athology report: "There is no question that
nodules are being formed in this lymph node but in many areas the picture is more than a mixed
cellularity type and there are remarkably large col lections composed mainly of malignant
reticulohitiocytic cells with lymphocyte depletion. " With a diagnosis of Hodg


 for the average family, half of which is made into corn
beer. Other sources of nutrition, such as root vegetables,
become available in small quantities during the limited
growing season. By being able to thrive on an absurdly
substandard diet, these people show the nearl y inﬁnite
ﬂexibility of the mind-body system. Ironically, their
adaptation is so perfect that when placed on a “balanced”
diet fortiﬁed  with vitamins and minerals, many native
people devel op heart disease, hypertension, skin disorders,
and rotten teeth, none of which they had before, in
epidemic proportions.
Obviously, these examples throw down a challenge to our
whole conception of what is normal. We have ample
evidence in our own culture that what is most normal about
us is our ability to create our own reality. As Sir John Eccles
told the parapsychologists, it is incomprehensible that our
thoughts can move molecules, and yet we live quite
comfortably with this impossibility all the time. The rishis
simply exten d our comfort zone all the way, into the
normality of the inﬁnite.
We already know that if an impulse of intelligence  wants
to do something, then it does it, using intelle ct, mind,
senses, and matter to ﬁnd its outlet. Intelligence can create
a physiology  where healing thoughts take place, but it can
also create the reverse. If we were “hard-wired”  like acomputer, then every physiology would be predictable; in
reality, no physiology is. Intelligence creates new circuitry
at will, and this makes each person unique. Every
experience in life changes the brain’s anatomy. The new
dendrites created in the brain cells of active old people are
just one instance.
Even more extraordinary  is the following experiment: Dr.
Herbert Spector of the National Institutes of Health took a
group of mice and gave them poly-I:C, a chemical known to
stimulate the activity of natural killer T-cells in the immune
system and thus strengt hen the animal’s defens e against
disease. Every time a mouse received his dose of poly-I:C,
the smell of camphor was released in the vicinity at the
same time.
For a few weeks the pattern continued, injecting the
chemical and releasing the camphor smell. When the
chemical was taken away, Spector exposed the mice to only
the camphor, and he found that their immune-cell count
again increased, even without the chemical. In other words,
the smell alone made them stronger against disease. Could
he have done the reverse and lowered their immunity with
a smell?
A team at the University of Rochester later showed that
this is possible. They took a group of rats and fed them
cyclophosphamide, a chemical known to diminish the
eﬀiciency of the immune  response. At the same time, the
rats were given saccharine-sweetened water, which
substituted for camphor as the neutral agent. When the
drug was withdrawn, the animals still dropp ed their
immune-cell count just by tasting the water. What excited
the research ers at the time was the realization  that the
immune system has learn ing ability. It directly responds to
outside stimuli, not just to the internal environme nt of the
bloodstream.In a larger sense, however, these experiments tell us that
the body is not tied to predictable responses. The
intelligence of a cell is creative. The predictable
mechanism that responds positively to poly-I:C and
negatively to cyclophosp hamide can transform itself and
respond to anything. Moreover, it can turn around and
respond with opposite results—the smell of camphor could
have been associated with either drug.
There is no ﬁxed connection, then, between what kind of
experience you put into the body and the result that comes
out—your nervous system is set up for unboundedness. The
more we dwell on this, the more remarkable the
implications are. The smell of camphor did not do anything
to cause the change in immune cells: the mice could have
smelled roses or listened to a Mozart quartet. What
actually happened inside them was the creation of an
impulse of intelligence, a totally ﬂuid entity that
coordinates a piece of the nonmaterial world with a piece
of the material world. The ancient rishis understood this
very well. A verse from the Veda says, “What you see, you
become.” In other words, just the experience of perceiving
the world makes you what you are. This is a quite literal
statement. Children growing up in homes where there is
inadequate love can show a variety of symptoms—they may
be unhappy, neurotic, schizophrenic, sickly, angry, or any
number of other responses. But one of the strangest  is a
condition called psychosocial dwarﬁsm. Such children do
not grow up; they induce in themselves a deﬁciency of
growth hormone from the pituitary, and as a result, they
remain small and undeveloped in their physiques.
Ignoring the biological clock, the onset of puberty  can be
delayed; so can the acquisition of mental skills associated
with older children, which is not directly controlled by the
pituitary. It is not a dysfunction of the pituitary that is at
fault, for when these children are placed in lovingsurroundings, their condition can spontaneously  reverse,
and they quickly catch up with their peers in size.
Growing up is a built-in, genetically programmed
outcome of being born—yet these children defy it simply
because they feel unloved. Even if a doctor injects them
with growth hormone, many refuse to grow. A study with
adult male victims of heart attacks showed that the most
signiﬁcant factor in their recovery—meaning whether they
lived or died—was not anything to do with diet, exercise,
smoking, or a will to live. The men who lived felt that their
wives loved them, while those who felt unloved tended not
to survive; no other correlation the researchers could ﬁnd
was as strong.
For years I have been haunted by the memory of one of
my ﬁrst patients, an Indian villager named Laxman
Govindass. I was still a medical student in New Delhi,
conﬁned to the drudgery  of working up physicals on the
patients whom the hospital staﬀ doctors were too busy to
see. The hospita l in question was a teaching hosp ital
attached to my school, the All-India Medical Institute, and
the academic doctors there had scant interest in a broken-
down alcoholic like Laxman Govindass.
He was a peasant farmer whose drinking had gotten out
of hand to the point where his family deserted him. One son
had bundled him oﬀ to the door of our hospital and left him
there with the words, “Here’s where you will probably die.”
Like all villagers consign ed to us, Mr. Govindass was very
apprehensive and totally out of his element. The interns
took good enough care of his cirrhosis of the liver, but
without spending any time to become acquainted with him
personally. I got to know  him only because as a student I
had most of the day free; I made a habit of following the
orderly who brought around the evening curry so that I
could chat with the patients.I struck up a rapport with Mr. Govindass, sitting by his
bed and exchanging an occasional word; mostly we just
looked out the window together. Day by day he wasted
away a little more, and nobody gave him longe r than a
week or two at most, including me. In a short while it was
time for me to rotate from the city to a village dispensary
sixty miles away, so I came in to wish him good-bye. To
keep up a good front, I told him that I would be back to see
him in thirty days.
In reply, he looked at me very seriously and said, “Now
that you are leaving, I have nothing more to live for—I will
die.” Without thinking, I blurted, “Don’t be silly. You can’t
die until I come back to see you again.” Since Mr.
Govindass was extremely  emaciated—he weighed less than
eighty pounds—his doctors were surprised that he was
even alive.
I left for my posting in the country and in a little while
had no more thoughts about him. A month later, on my
return to New Delhi, I was walking down the hospital
corridor and saw the name Laxman Govindass on one of the
doors. I rushed in, feeling strangely apprehensive, and
there he was, curled on his bed outside the sheets in a fetal
position. There was nothing left of him but skin and bones,
but when I gently touched him, he turned his huge eyes
toward me. “You have come back,” he muttered. “You said I
could not die without seeing you again—now I see you.”
Then he closed his eyes and died.
I recounted this incident,  one of the most importan t in my
life, once before; at that time, I felt two emotions—a
lingering guilt that I had sentenced this man to so much
protracted suﬀering


 rebuild with ultimate return to normal vigor.

"Here," he continues, "was an object lesson:

"(1) Vital power supported without food.
"(2) Mental an d physical strength increasing with the decline of symptoms.
"(3) A cure without the aid of remedies, and one that was eminently complete in every way.
"(4) No unusual wasting of the body."

In later years, when relating his early experiences in connect ion with fasting in disease, Dr. Dewey, both in conversation and in
writing, dwelt at great length upon the complete reversal of personal opinion and belief which the conditions and the outcome  of
this case produced. He gives in detail in his several books  the results of this change of thought, and the tale is as interesting as is
Page 5 of  72 one of adventure or romance, for it led this man into life -long advocacy and practice of a method diametrically opposed to that for
which he had been trained, and which he had the retofore made his profession. It also brought to him controversy, ridicule, and
persecution.

He who becomes a renegade from an established creed is more than likely to find himself an outcast from the society of believ ers
in that creed. And Dr. Dewey, on ce launched upon a course which he deemed that of the truth, proved no exception to the common
fate. His medical confreres at first dubbed him eccentric --even crazy. And it was not long before his presence in consultation and
in professional assemblage was  no more desired. In fact, the local medical society requested his resignation as a member of its
body. But Dr. Dewey possessed among other sterling qualities, courage, and he never wavered, but sturdily and steadily contin ued
in his chosen path until reco gnition of his discovery and of his teachings was forced, first upon his clientele, and then upon his
colleagues, by the results which his methods obtained.

Dr. Dewey is perhaps best known to the world as the strenuous advocate of the "No Breakfast Plan", and his book with this title
has circled the globe. But his other works, notably The True Science of Living, well bear careful reading, even though in the light
of later and more scientific investigation discovery, his theory and practice of the fast lea ve many things to be supplied.

It is not, however, the purpose of the author to write in criticism of the work of the pioneers in the art and science of phy siatrics,
for it is sufficient that these men first made exposition of present -day natural practic e, later to be developed and elaborated by their
disciples. And it is also to be remembered that, as is the destiny of every pioneer, they proved no exception to the rule, an d were
reviled and persecuted exquisitely by those who should have supported their  investigations, those who should have worked out
with them the possibilities of their discoveries. Intrenched authority invariably escapes ridicule and persecution, since in most
instances it is individually devoid of acumen and initiative, and is smugly content to dwell within the vicious thrall of orthodoxy.

Dr. Dewey was born at Wayland, Pennsylvania, in May, 1839. In the late fifties he entered thc employ of a local druggist, and  he
spent two years dispensing remedies and absorbing pharmaecopoeial lo re. He says for himself that at that time he came into
contact with all kinds of physicians and with all kinds of "isms" in medical practice, and that the prescription counter is a
wonderful revelator of the literary and scientific attainments of the medic al profession, yet it fails to account for the relative degree
of success of men who are without the slightest shade of scientific conception of the action of a remedy or of its indicated need as
revealed by symptoms. He further says that his drugstore exp erience led to a slowly developing conviction that, as an adaptation of
means to an end, the administration of drugs for the cure of disease is one of the most unscientific of human vocations. It i s evident
that this conviction did not then become an entit y in the doctor's mind, for it did not deter him from going. ahead with those studies
that finally brought him to the College of Medicine and Surgery of the University of Michigan. From this college he was gradu ated
in 1864 with a medical degree, and almos t immediately we find him as an acting assistant surgeon in the army of the United States
on duty at a field hospital at Chattanooga, Tennessee. When discharged at the close of the war, the doctor chose Meadville,
Pennsylvania, as his field of labor, and i n the autumn of 1866 he became a general practitioner in that small city, then numbering
about ten thousand souls. Here for eleven years he followed the paths of orthodoxy, still with that slowly developing convict ion
disturbing his professional thought, u ntil, as has been related, in 1877 sudden light was given and his conviction, now confirmed,
became the guiding principle of the remainder of his life.

Thenceforth Dr. Dewey was eminently successful in a practice based upon causing his patients to abstai n from food for periods
short or long; upon inaugurating the no -breakfast plan; and upon impressing upon his followers in illness and in health the
beneficent effects of fresh air, pure water, and sunshine. But, as has been indicated, there was much in the  fundamentals of his
method that needed revision, and he was lamentably lacking, as was Dr. Tanner, in perceiving that prompt and efficient auxili ary
hygienic means must constantly be employed while the extreme process of elimination occasioned by a fast i s in progress. He
repudiated the use of the enema or internal bath, and preferred and insisted upon waiting upon the bowels to act "naturally",  as he
termed it. In later years, when the writer enrolled as a student with Dr. Dewey, her own thought led her f irst to suggest and then to
remonstrate upon this and other vital omissions in procedure, and at one time only her friendship for her preceptor prevented  a
break in relations. It was not until a few months before Dr. Dewey died that he partially acknowledg ed his error in these respects
and deplored the fact that he had continually advised against the use of the enema, which he had finally come to recognize as  the
most essential of hygienic accessories connected with a scientifically conducted fast.

The ph ysiology of abstinence from food for the prevention and relief of disease as determined by Dr. Dewey and published to the
world in his books is beyond all doubt correct. But the doctor was much astray in the hygiene necessary to the successful iss ue of
therapeutic fasting. Accepting neither the eliminative assistance of the enema nor that of daily cleansing the surface of the bo dy, he
ignored as well the dietetic requisites, both preparatory and subsequent to the total abstinence interval. And as to diet in  health, the
doctor exhibited the common failing of the medical profession, which then as now seems to consider food merely as fuel for th e
body, with but little regard for its digestibility or its nutritive content.

Dr. Dewey died from paralysis, a cond ition that arose solely from error in personal dietary. He conscientiously observed the "no
breakfast plan," which he advised for others, but food values, food adaptability, food combination, all were ignored in the t wo
daily meals he permitted himself. Me ats and fish, eggs and milk, breads and pastries, with comparatively few vegetables in
Page 6 of  72 combination, and these mostly of the starchier kinds, formed his food supply. What wonder that hardened veins, high blood
pressure, and ultimate paralysis developed!

Dr. Dewey suffered his first stroke of apoplexy on March 28, 1904. For sixteen days he fasted and gradual improvement took
place, so much so, that in several months he again became active in his profession. At that time the author was most desirous  that
the doctor accept her proved conclusions concerning the internal bath and the dietary essential when a fast is broken. But to no
avail, and her warning went for a time unheeded, until untoward symptoms again arising, Dr. Dewey consented to close his
practice and to come to Minneapolis there to be under the care and direction of his erstwhile pupil. He was delayed in departure,
and a second paralytic seizure occurred on December 10, 1904, resulting in his death on the 21st of the same month.

In personal conta ct with Dr. Dewey and in a voluminous correspondence he ever dwelt with great inspiration and broad vision
upon what he called "New Gospel of Health", emphasizing at all times the thought that the lesson he was endeavoring to impart
was one that applied to  every human ill. He said so often that he wanted me clearly to see, as he did, the divine hand in cure
through an evolution in reverse. By this he meant that disease in the structural changes involved is a matter of nature's own  work --
just as clearly as i n those structural changes by which the body was originally developed. And he further added that the cure of
disease is but an analogous process in reverse of its cause. This reasoning is clear and logical, and its conclusions are tr


 bottom of the right ribcage) and upper abdomen with
castor oil, cover with a woollen cloth folded in  several layers and keep
warm for an hour or two with a hot -water bottle. At bedtime take 2
tablespoons of olive oil shaken in a jar with lecithin, a teaspoon of Epsom
salts or magnesium chloride, and diluted lemon juice. Then lie down
immediately on your back or right side. However, on the last evening take
half a cup of olive oil.
The next morning take sufficient laxative to produce a good cleanout
within a few hours. The castor oil stimulates the liver's capacity to
detoxify, the olive oil induces the ga llbladder to empty and expel fat -
soluble toxins from the liver, the magnesium salts relax the gallbladder,
while the laxative removes the poisons quickly from the bowels. This
method of cleansing causes a minimum of discomfort that might
otherwise result i n headaches, nausea and weakness.
The Basic Cleanse
This 8 -day basic cleanse is designed to clean out and sanitize the
gastrointestinal tract, the liver and the gallbladder. In its pure form it
consists of two parts, a three -day apple diet and a five -day psyllium
cleanse. Both can also be done separately, the apple diet as a short
general cleanse and the psyllium cleanse as a superior method to
detoxify the gastrointestinal tract.
This psyllium cleanse helps  to remove biofilms, and with this Candida
and p arasites. The intestines are filled with a soft gel which gradually
dissolves the sticky mucus that protects microbes and parasites, and at
the end of the cleanse it is all removed as a big bowel motion.
The Apple Diet:  For the first three days eat as many  apples as you like
(preferably organic). Granny Smith or other tart apples are preferable. In
the evening have a hot castor oil pack, olive oil, Epsom salts or
magnesium chloride and diluted lemon juice as for the Liver Cleanse.  80
 After the first bowel movement the next morning there may be hundreds
of little greenish wax balls of different sizes floating on top of the water in
the toilet bowl. However, if the stones are further back in the liver, they
may only come out with the sec ond or third cleanse.
First thing in the morning of the second to fourth day take a glass of water
with a crushed clove of garlic and magnesium salts as described in
Chapter 4. About thirty to sixty minutes later take a probiotic culture. If
you do not ha ve the time or the energy for the full cleanse, you may now
return to your normal diet and do the rest at another time.
The Psyllium Cleanse:  Either as a separate 5 -day cleanse or as part of
the Basic Cleanse, from day four to eight replace the apples with  freshly
pressed vegetable juices, possibly flavoured with apple; stop using the
magnesium and garlic flush in the morning.
Drink the juice spaced out and very slowly. At least half the juice should
be from celery, grass and green leaves. Add sufficient pu re water to drink
about 2 litres of diluted juice each day. In addition,  or instead of using
juice you may puree a handful of fresh leaves at high speed in a blender
and drink without straining. If you cannot make juice or obtain fresh green
leaves you may  eat, spaced out, some green or tart apples or some raw
vegetable salads.
Every 3 hours, or 5 times daily, take a teaspoon of psyllium hulls with a
microbicide and sodium bicarbonate.  Dissolve half a teaspoon of sodium
bicarbonate in a large glass of water; add the microbicide, and finally a
teaspoon of psyllium hulls. Stir and drink immediately, followed by some
more water.
As microbicide I prefer one that has the ability to penetrate  biofilms, such
as chopped garlic, ginger, or about 5 drops of Lugol's iodine solution,
non-acidified MMS, or CDH. Molecular iodine has the added advantage
that it helps to liquefy sticky mucus. You may also alternate remedies.
Do not intentionally try t o induce bowel movements during this time.
 81
 At bedtime of the last juice day and on the next morning take a
tablespoon of magnesium salts in water, or enough laxative to produce
a strong bowel cleanout in the morning.
Often there are long strings, heavy mucus, and parts of compacted
matter looking like sections of bowel. These are the hiding places of
Candida, parasites and bacteria causing inflammatory bowel conditions.
It is advisable to increase the variety of food very gradually and possibly
doing allergy testing at the same time.
If there is discomfort during the cleanse from bloating or other intestinal
problems, and it becomes too uncomfortable, then just take a laxative or
enema to flush it all out and try again at a later time. Continue for a long
time with moderate amounts of antimicrobial remedies.
Variations:  There are many possible variations of this Basic Cleanse.
For instance, if you do not have a juice extractor you may either continue
longer with apples or have small raw salads in ad dition to blended
leaves. If you cannot get organic apples but have plenty of good
grass and vegetables for juicing then you may extend the juice schedule
from 5 to 8 days but also have the castor oil packs, olive oil, garlic,
magnesium salts and acidophil us up to day 4 and the psyllium schedule
thereafter.
Another possibility, good with raised blood pressure and calcifications, is
to use diluted freshly squeezed lemon juice instead of vegetable juice,
and possibly instead of the apple days as well. Again,  use psyllium for
the last 5 days. Generally,  dilute 1 part of lemon juice with 9 parts of pure
water. Preferably add some spirulina powder to the lemon juice.
An optional additive is Bentonite, powdered absorbent clay. This helps
to remove plaque or old c oating from colon walls and also absorbs toxins.
Each time you use psyllium add one teaspoonful of powdered or one
tablespoonful of liquid Bentonite.
DIFFERENT CLEANSING METHODS
Except for very sensitive individuals, I recommend apples, preferably 82
 green or tart varieties, for the first three day fast. Preferably obtain
unsprayed apples, otherwise either peel, or scrub in warm soapy water
and rinse well.
Do not ingest waxed skins. Eat as many apples as you like, generally the
more the better to keep the bowels moving. Apple fasts are usually well
tolerated and are also suitable for children.
Fasting on freshly pressed vegetable juices is somewhat more severe but
generally wel l tolerated. Preferably use plenty of green juice made from
grass, leaves and celery, flavoured with sweet vegetables such as carrot,
beetroot or pumpkin and possibly apple and ginger. This may be diluted
with water for a  total fluid intake of 2 - 3 litres  daily. If rather sensitive,
minimize the amount of sweet juices and use more blended fresh leaves
instead.
For very sensitive, weak or underweight individuals  try cooked split
red lentils for 1 - 2 weeks, lightly flavoured with salt and olive oil and
preferably a tablespoon per meal of unheated ground linseed. Instead of
lentils or in addition you may use quinoa and chia seeds. You do not
need to eat proper meals, just have a few spoonful’s  whenever you feel
hungry, and chew very slowly. After several days  you may also add
cooked vegetables. Preferably follow this with a short period of eating
raw food only.
For all conditions blend in addition fresh green leaves at high speed and
drink without straining, but minimise beet leaves high in oxalic acid. You
may also use additional green protein powders during the cleanse such
as spirulina, (cell broken) chlorella, barley or wheat grass powder. Use
these with suitable fluids, alone or in addition to any of the other
cleansing foods or juices.
For insens itive individuals a three -day lemon -juice fast  is excellent,
especially good for improving liver functions and blood sugar. It is also
recommended for overweight, high blood pressure, cardiovascular
problems and diabetes. It helps to clean the liver and ar teries of fatty
deposits and calcifications.  83
 About 10 times during the day drink a glass of water with the addition of
fresh lemon juice (1 - 2 parts juice and 8 - 9 parts water). You may flavour
this with some fresh grapefruit or orange juice (or eat the  fruit). Later you
may extend this fast to seven days.
The 'grape cure'  is well known as a cancer cure,  but it is also good for
coronary artery disease and other chronic diseases. You eat about 1kg of
grapes spaced out during the day to avoid any strong ris e in the blood
sugar level. Sensitive individuals may use additional bicarbonate if the
grapes cause acidity. Continue for up to six weeks.
Black grapes are best, otherwise purple or red. Unfortunately, it is difficult

/G09
/G01 /G1D/G0A/G0A/G02/G05/G0F/G12/G10 ions are a kind of fertiliz er for the soul.  When
all around us - in our outer world, we may observe things we
do /G0C/G07/G01 wish to experience, the inner world and inner work of
affirmations feeds our spirit - with “good feeling” light-filled
thoughts, that we purposefully implant to attract their vibration into our life experiences.  In other  words, affirmations help us to
vibrate /G07/G0C/G06/G08/G12 /G09/G08/G07/G04/G05, to live life on purpose, to deliberately create
our experiences.  There are many  wonderful spiritual teachers,
who expand on the gift of affirmations in our lives.  Louise Hay, of Hay House, Inc., probably top s that list.  There are many
more.  I simply wish to add a few things here, to note the importance of affirmations in  our lives and our expanding
cultivation of inner wealth.  I thought I would tell a brief story of my own discovery of the benefits of affirmations.  At the time I was first exposed  to the concept of affirmations, I was not aware of them at all in my life, or the lives of anyone I knew.  I was only beginning  to
discover my intuitive gifts.  And I was in the heat of my fire,
and the depth of the darkness, of my karmic appointment at the time.  I had arrived for a scheduled appointment, to meet with  a healer/medium, who trance-channeled spirit guides.  On this particular day, I was fully experiencing the chronic nature of the gravity of my circumstances.  And so I imploringly asked the spirit guides, “ What can I do?”  My willingness opened a
conversation.  The spirit guides looked at me very directly and quite seriously, and said, “Okay.  I have an idea for you.  I think you are ready.”  I was quite excited, because over the course of our Cosmic Wealth
 74
many meetings together, they did not often give me direct
guidance or solutions per se.  I animated a little, and found
myself poised at the ready, fo r this promising and mystical
solution.  The spirit guide proceeded to say that when I was feeling the heart of my darkness each day, that I could say  to myself, “My Mother Earth and My Father God love me perfectly.  My life is perfect.”  I blinked.  I paused and blinked
again, waiting for more.  But that was it.  That was the
“profound guidance.”  I remember thinking that they had lost
their collective mind.  At the time, I could not even imagine
how those words were going to help me survive the hours, days, and years ahead of me.    I did not know then, but I kn ow now, that they had
given me something very powerful.  It was an affirmation.
As powerful creators, our affirmations to ourselves send out  a command to the universe to bring that very thing into our experience.  This was a profound offering, tool, and blessing
from Spirit.  At the time, I was confused and frustrated at the
message I received - because I simply did not understand or respect its power.  But over time, I learned to appreciate the energetic power of affirmations.  How?  By investing them.  By
investing in them.  And several years later, I now essentially eat
affirmations for breakfast, with  regular affirmational “meals”
throughout the day.  It feeds my  spirit, at non-physical levels
that often must be experienced  in order to be known.
 Some of you may be reading this book, feeling similar initial feelings and questions as to how the words on the pages of this book are going to help you.  I can only share my belief that so much of this journey is ex periential, for that  is simply the
divine design of how we expand our inner light.  There is great fun in consciously tweaking our inner thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and actions in the chosen direction we want to go.  But it requires a willingness to believe.  It requires a willingness to
imagine.  It requires an invested  desire to play, or to learn, or to
simply feel better.  We are the only ones who can really do the
fine-tuning within, for we each ha ve a unique read on our inner
guidance system, that is wired just for us and that can be “read”
only by us.  Hearing others’ s tories inspires us, which helps to Affirmations 75
ignite our desire - to feel our or iginal ease, light, wealth, health,
and flow.  But in the end, it is up to each one of us to make the
choice to consciously turn in the direction of light-full  expansion, deliberate creation, and seamless divine flow.  When I began to apply this ba sic formula for affirmations
in my life, there was a lot of trial and error at first.  I wrote down things that other people said and affirmed, that initially
sounded inspirational to me;  only  to realize some time later,
that I wasn’t really connecting with their suggested affirmations
and words (because I had my own unique vibrations and desires).  Eventually, I got into the flow of creating ones that felt good to me, for me.  As I felt the truth of each one more deeply,
because they were my truth, I could access the feeling energy
behind them much more easily.  And I saw more and more things, that I regularly affirmed, come into my experience.  It is
miraculous to see these conceptual desires take flight into our physical experiences.  When only we ourselves  know that we
have planted these affirmatio nal seeds, and we see them
blossom into their physical form, we allow a truer, deeper
sense of belief into our experiences.    Additionally, I found a bette r framework that helped me
to connect with the affirmation process more clearly.  I found it helpful to see the declaration  of my desires as its own distinct
process.  It helped me to see the declaration of my desires, in
sentence form, as the “hardware”  and foundational structure for
my life experiences.  And then it helped me to view the routine
ingestion of chosen affirmations (the soft seeds that make me
feel good every day), as the “softwar e” that fulfills my inner life.
As I committed to regularly f ill my inner life with this
affirmational software, trusting the core foundational hardware,
I began to release my prayer requ ests to Spirit more easily and
more completely.  My ability to trust expanded, and my ability
to receive physical mani festations did as well.
 In our inner life, we all have an inner child to feed.  That inner child is the essence of Source energy.  That inner child likes to play, laugh, be inspired, and feel delighted every day.
It is nourished through our experiences of feeling good.  The more we become conscious of this inner self, this inner child Cosmic Wealth

of the Creator, the more we begin to understand its creative,
delightful, imaginative, and fruit ful nature.  The more we play,
the more we prosper.  Quite the opposite of what the current concrete outer world often suggests.  Yet, it remains the truth of  the divine design.    Many are affirming things every day, as /G12/G0C /G13/G07/G03/G16/G13/G02/G07/G08/G16/G01

, which increases the basal metabolic rate,
causing an increased demand for food to support this metabolic activity.
Signs and symptoms—goiter, fine tremor of the extended fingers and tongue,
increased nervousness, weight loss, altered bowel activity, heat intolerance,
excessive sweating, increased heart rate. Inorganic iodine deposits, drugs,
chemicals and congestion create acidosis and stimulation of this gland.
Hyperthyroidism always leads to hypothyroidism or the weakening of the
thyroid gland.
Hypnotics
 powerful nervine relaxants
and sedatives that induce sleep (Wild
Lettuce, Passion Flower, Valerian).
Hypoactive
 1. “Hypo” is Greek for below, beneath or under. 2. underactive
gland or organ. Hypoglycemia abnormally low level of glucose in the blood;
“low blood sugar.”
Hypothalamus
 the area of the brain that contains neurosecretions that are of
importance in the control of certain metabolic activities, such as maintenance
of water balance, sugar and fat metabolism, regulation of body temperature,
secretion of releasing and inhibiting hormones, and the hunger response. It
houses the pituitary gland and is considered the “master switch board.”
Hypothyroidism
 a condition due to deficiency of the thyroid secretion,
resulting in a lowered basal metabolism. Symptoms may include obesity or
difficulty losing weight, dry skin and hair, low blood pressure, slow pulse,
sluggishness of all functions, depressed muscular activity, and depression.
Hypertension
 high blood pressure. Usually defined as a regular resting
pressure of 140/90.
Hypotensives
 used to reduce blood pressure.
Iatrogenic
 literally, “physician induced.” This term can be applied to anymedical condition, disease, or other adverse occurrence that results from
medical treatment.
Immunostimulant
 an agent that stimulates the immune system in a non-
specific manner.
Infection
 invasion of body tissues by disease-causing organisms such as
viruses, protozoa, fungi or bacteria.
Inflammation
 1. tissue reaction to injury; 2. Inflammation is not infection. It
is a reaction of your immune system in your body to an acidic compound or
injury to tissue. The succession of changes that occur in living tissue when it
is injured in any way. The inflamed area undergoes continuous change as the
body repair processes start to heal and replace injured tissue. 3. Inflammation
is a conservative process modified by whatever produces the reaction, but it
should not be confused with infection; the two are relatively different
conditions, although one may arise from the other. Acidosis is one of the
greatest causes of inflammation. Inflammation is counter-balanced by the
body with steroids, cholesterol, electrolytes and antioxidants.
Infusion
 an herbal tea.
Insulin
 a hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates the metabolism of
glucose (sugar) in the body. Acts as a carrier through cell membrane walls.
Interferon
 1. a protein produced by the cells in response to viral infection
that prevents viral reproduction and is capable of protecting uninfected cells
from viral infection. Includes alpha, beta, and gamma; 2. a group of proteins
released by white blood cells that combat a virus; 3. a potent immune-
enhancing substance that is produced by the body’s cells to fight off viral
infection and cancer.
Intestinal Flora
 the “friendly” bacteria and other microorganisms normally
present in the intestines that are essential for the digestion and metabolism of
different nutrients and foodstuffs.
In Vitro
 outside a living body and in an artificial environment, like a
laboratory (e.g., in test tubes).
In Vivo
 in a living body of an animal, plant or human, outside of a controlled
environment or laboratory.
Incontinence
 the inability to control urination or defecation.
Indolent
 sluggish; causing little or no pain, slow to heal.
Inferior
 below.Insecticides
 herbs that are used to destroy or repel insects (Black Walnut
Hulls/Leaves, Black Cohosh, Rue, Quassia).
Intercostal
 between the ribs.
Interstitial
 placed or lying between (spaces within an organ or tissue);
around the outside of cells.
Interleukin
 a type of cytokine that enables communication among leukocytes
and other cells active in inflammation or the cell-mediated immune response.
The result is a maximized response to a microorganism or other foreign
antigen.
Intracellular
 within cells.
Irritants
 herbs that produce a greater or lesser degree of vascular excitement
when applied to the epidermis or skin surface (Cascara Sagrada, Kava Kava
resin, Stinging Nettle, Stone Root).
Jaundice
 a condition caused by elevation of bilirubin in the body and
characterized by a yellowing of the skin.
Jejunum
 the second portion of the small intestines (from duodenum to the
ileum). It’s about eight feet long and comprises two-fifths of the small
intestine.
Laxatives
 mild purgatives. Promote bowel movements.
Lesions
 a circumscribed area of pathologically altered tissue; an injury or
wound; a single infected patch in a skin disease.
Lipid
 any one of a group of fats or fat-like substances characterized by their
insolubility in water and sollubility in fat solvents such as alcohol, ether, and
chloroform. The term is descriptive rather than a chemical name such as
protein or carbohydrate. Includes true fats (esters of fatty acids and glycerol);
lipoids (phospholipids, cere-brosides, waxes); and sterols (cholesterol,
ergosterol).
Lipotropic
 promoting the flow of lipids to and from the liver.
Lithotriptics
 dissolves or discharges urinary and biliary concretion (like
kidney stones). Helps dissolve calculi within the body. (Bitter Root, Butcher’s
Broom, Cleavers).
Local Anesthetics
 herbs that produce loss of sensation (anesthesia) when
applied locally to a surface (Caraway Oil, Coca, Kava Kava).
Lymph
 fluid contained in lymphatic vessels, that flows through the lymphaticsystem to be returned to the blood. The lymph is to the immune cells what
blood serum is to red blood cells. Lymph cleans itself through the kidneys,
colon and skin.
Lymphatic System
 that system including all structures involved in the
conveyance of lymph from the tissues to the bloodstream. It includes the
lymph capillaries, lacteals, lymph nodes, lymph vessels, and main lymph
ducts (thoracic and right lymphatic duct).
Lymph Nodes
 organs located in the lymphatic vessels that act as filters,
trapping and removing foreign materials. They also form lymphocytes, which
are immune cells that develop the capacity to seek out and destroy specific
foreign agents. Lymph nodes are like septic tanks that hold and neutralize
toxins and foreign proteins by immune cells and/or enzymes.
Lymphocyte
 a type of white blood cell found in lymph, blood, and other
specialized tissues, such as the bone marrow and tonsils. There are several
different categories of lymphocytes, designated B-lymphocytes, T-
lymphocytes, and null (or non-B, non-T) lymphocytes. These cells are crucial
components of the immune system. B-lymphocytes are primarily responsible
for antibody production, whereas the T-lymphocytes are involved in the
direct attack against invading organisms. It is the T-helper cell, a subtype of
T-lymphocyte, that is the primary cell infected and destroyed by human
immuno-deficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS (man made).
Kidneys
 a pair of organs sitting at the back of the abdominal cavity that form
urine from blood plasma. Each kidney’s more than one million small filtering
units (called glomeruli) process chemical wastes and excess water in the
body, which produces urine. They are the major regulators of the water and
electrolytes, and maintain the acid-base content of the blood and body fluids.
The kidneys are one of the body’s four eliminative organs. Lack of proper
elimination means a stagnant lymphatic system.
Kupffer’s Cells
 About 50 percent of all macrophages are found in the liver
as Kupffer cells.
Macrophages
 1. a monocyte that has left the circulation and settled and
matured in a tissue; 2. Along with neutrophils, macrophages are the major
phagocytic cells of the immune system. They have the ability to recognize
and ingest all foreign antigens through receptors on the surface of their cell
membranes; these antigens are then destroyed by lysosomes. Their placement
in the peripheral lymphoid tissues enables macrophages to serve as the major
scavengers of the blood, clearing it of abnormal or old cells and cellulardebris as well as pathogenic organisms. 3. They also serve a vital role by
processing antigens and presenting them to T cells, activating the specific
immune response. They also release many chemical mediators that are
involved in the body’s defenses, including interleukin-1 and complement.
Malabsorption
 nutritionally, an inability to absorb nutrients from the
intestinal tract into the bloodstream. Primarily due to impactions,
inflamm


 but knew  it, It is the Key
to all things.
In all We  have  experienced  and  are observing  among
mankind  today,  I marvel  Individuals  have  not seen  in the
terrific  experiences  they  have  passed  thru,  that  it is their
inharmony,  which  is producing  all the  limitations  and
discord  for them.  The  human  self  has so long  attempted
to hold  its dominion,  that  it refuses  with  stubborn  resist-
ance,  to accept  Its Presence  of Life,  which  would  set it Free
so quickly.  So, tonight,  according  to your  acceptance,  may
you have  This  Great  Blessing  enfold  you.  Beloved  Children
of the Light,  in the Service  which  We are rendering  to the
Earth,  it is an Eternally  Sustained  Activity  always!  There  is
no thing,  no action  which  We start,  that  We do not sustain,
until  its Full  Achievement.  Therefore,  as you  have  been
drawn  into  this Class  Room,  by the Light  within  your  own
Heart,  then  you  are to a definite  degree,  filled  with  Suffi-
cient  Light  to draw  this  which  will  bless  you.  It is always
your  own  Light  which  acts;  but as you call,  as the Messen-
gers call,  and  the Full  Force  of Our  Assistance  comes  into
action,  all resistance  recedes,  dissolves  and  disappears! 333 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
Therefore,  in the people's  lack  of understanding,  they
have  endeavored  to govern  and  bring  each  other  into  sub-
mission  and  under  each  other's  domination;  creating  all
kinds  of discord  under  which  they  had  to live.  When  you
understand,  you  have  the Great  Presence  of Life  to turn  to,
then  all which  has  terrified  you  in the world  of human
action,  dissolves  and  disappears  before  the Call  to your
Great  Presence.
You must  understand  this definitely  and fully;  and  know
tonight,  that  you  are Master  of your  own  selves  and  your
world,  thru  your  attention  to your  "Mighty  I AM  Pres-
ence,"  which  brings  Its Intelligence  and  Power  into  action.
Tonight,  I thank  the Messenger,  especially  at this  time,
for having  read  the excerpt  from  the Magic  Presence.  We
have  brought  into  action,  a Powerful  Activity—the  Most
Powerful  so far in the class.  It is the Activity  from  the Cave
of Light  in India.  It is My Pleasure  to draw  forth  and  hold
you in Its Radiance  for this  hour;  so you  may  absorb,  re-
ceive  and  be blessed  eternally  by Its Action,  which  comes
alone  from  the Power  of Light.
You feel  quite  disappointed,  if at any  time  your  fixtures
are out of order,  your  connections,  and  you have  no Light.
This  Light  of which  We speak,  is far more  important  than
your  Lights  here.  The  lack  of Inner  Light  is darkness  of the
darkest  kind;  and  if you  were  to discern  those  whom  We
refer  to as earth-bound;  who  have  lived  depraved  lives
upon  This  Earth  and  cannot  leave  it, you  would  realize
something  of what  the lack  of Inner  Light  means!  Were DISCOURSE  XXII  309
you to observe  such  earth-bound  people,  you would  see each
one has created  for himself  a density  of darkness  which  is
unknown  in any condition  of the outer  life.  That  is what
mankind  so glibly  speaks  of as earth-bound  Individuals;
little  dreaming  in such  darkness,  the  Individual  suffers
agonies  beyond  anything  mankind  can suffer  in the human
form.
SOME  PEOPLE  DISCOURAGED  BY  THEIR  AT-
TEMPTS  TO  OVERCOME  THE  OBSTACLES  OF
HUMAN  LIFE,  CUT  OFF  THEIR  LIVES  BY  SUI-
CIDE;  AND  THEN  THEY  MEET  THE  FULL  FORCE
OF ALL  THE  DISCORD  AGAINST  WHICH  THIS
BODY  WAS  A SHIELD.  ALL  BECOMES  A MENTAL
WORLD,  AND  THE  AGONY  IS  SO  MUCH
GREATER!  THEN,  THEY  SEE  THEIR  MISTAKE
WHEN  IT IS TOO  LATE.  BELOVED  ONES,  IF SUCH
AN IDEA  HAS  EVER  ENTERED  YOUR  HEADS
ERASE  IT.  YOU  CANNOT  GET  AWAY  FROM
YOURSELF  EVER  IN  THE  WHOLE  UNIVERSE!
YOU  ARE  A WORLD  OF YOUR  OWN  CREATION
AND  THERE  IS NOTHING  CAN  CHANGE  IT BUT
YOURSELF!
Your  Call  to the Great  Presence  of Light,  is the Only
Power  which  can  dissolve  and  consume  your  creations.
That  Wondrous  Chart  gives  you  the eye picture  of the
Violet  Consuming  Flame,  by which  you  may  be set Free;
and only  then,  will  mankind  feel  and  understand  the Im-
portance  of the Presence. 335 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
You are no longer  subject  to your  mistakes,  because  you
have  made  them.  There  is not a thing  in the Universe  which
condemns  Individuals  but themselves.  They  think  them-
selves  very  wise.  They  criticize,  condemn  and  blame  each
other,  for what  is alone  within  themselves!  Do not forget
it! THERE  CANNOT  ANYTHING  ENTER  YOUR
WORLD,  UNLESS  THERE  IS SOMETHING  TO  AT-
TRACT  IT OR  CORRESPOND  TO  IT!
How  is it, Beloved  Ones,  as many  of you know,  the Mes-
sengers  live  in a charmed  world  of their  own,  untouched
by the viciousness  of mankind?  Is it not the proof  that,
when  your  attention  is withheld  from  any  destructive
force;  and  you  know  human  creation  has no power,  you
can move  in the world  untouched  by its discord ? There-
fore,  if you  will  but understand  this,  you  will  find  your-
selves  quickly  moving  in the world,  in your  own  Harmony
called  forth  from  your  Presence;  and  It becomes  the Gov-
erning  Power  and  Intelligence  of your  world!
The Privilege,  the Opportunity  is yours.  Therefore,  if
you will  take  this Opportunity,  make  your  Application,  We
will give  whatever  added  Assistance,  is required  to give  you
the Victory  and  quickly.
In the Power  of Radiance  which  has  been  released  to
the Earth;  and  in the Call  thus  far, the accumulated  appli-
cation  of mankind,  is sufficient  to hold  the Balance  for
every  earnest  sincere  student.  When  I see silly  ignorant
mankind  grinning  and  smirking  at the  Great  Wall  of
Light,  one  day,  they  shall  see how  they  have  missed  their DISCOURSE  XXII  311
Opportunity.  As if the Great  Light,  as if the Messengers,
as if We were  concerned  with  mankind's  belief  or unbelief!
They  are quite  Free  to accept  or reject;  but one day,  when
the Hearts  of the people  are wracked  in agony,  they  will
wish  they  had taken  the Opportunity  offered;  and  with  the
Assistance  of the Mighty  Radiation  which  is being  released
to mankind,  had  attained  their  Victory  and  Freedom
quickly.
Our Rejoicing
