 life from a different perspective.
Everything that happened to you is a lesson you can be grateful for.
Everyone who came into your life was a teacher, regardless of how much
you choose to hate and blame him or her. There truly are no accidents. This
universe is working perfectly, including all the subatomic particles that
make up you, and those you blame. It is all just as it is supposed to be.
Nothing more, nothing less! All of those situations, including when you
were a small child, contain immensely valuable lessons for you to absorb
and benefit from, lessons which are blocked by feelings of hate and blame.
Assess how much you resist this principle of taking total responsibility
for your life and believing that there truly are no accidents in this perfect
universe. Follow this logic. Someone has harmed you in some way in your
past. You feel hurt and angry, and that anger ultimately turns to hatred. This
is your hatred. You carry it around with you wherever you go. You own it. It
is you and you are it. The hatred is all thought, and is with you wherever
you go. You have given someone permission not only to hurt you once, but
to continue controlling your inner life. The hatred infects your life while the
other person is still on his or her path doing exactly what he or she knows
how to do, independent of your current miserable state. The absurdity of
blame is that it gives other people control over us at the mom ent of their
dastardly deed, and continues to give them control over how we interact
with others. We become prisone rs without hope of achieving a higher sense
of awakening and happiness for ourselves.
This is how blame works in us, and why it is a futile and destructive
activity. As long as we blame others for the way we feel today, we will have
to wait for them to change before we can grow out of our current
immobilized state. Forgiveness is a tool to use to transcend the negative
effects of blame. Once we have forgiven another, we no longer need to
blame him. When we have forgiveness for all, there will be no one left toblame for anyth ing. Ironically, then we also will have no need to forgive
anymore, and that is the real lesson of this chapter.
Forgiveness means changing your misperceptions. When we forgive
another for anything that he or she may have done to us, we are really
saying, “I no longer give you the power to control who I am, how I think,
and how I’ll behave in the future. I take responsibility for all of that now.”
Thus, we really have nothing to forgive, since we create our own reality by
how we choose to process the behavior of others. We processed it in a way
that hurt us when we chose blam e. We might have chosen not to have hatred
within ourselves and simply let it go. Once we change our perceptions of
life’s hurts and pains and see that we create all that we need for this dream,
including the scoundrels, we no longer need to blame anyone for anything.
This is the most freeing stage to reach that you can imagine.
Being totally free from blame and taking complete responsibility for life
requires a great deal of discipline. It is a discipline of self-love rather than
self-contempt. When we love ourselves, we refuse to allow others to
manage our emotions from afar. Forgiveness is our means to that end. When
we choose this option, it eventually becomes an automatic reaction toward
those who treat us contemptuou sly, and then, of course, forgiveness is no
longer required. Forgiveness is an act of self-love, rather than some
altruistic saintly behavior. It gives us control over our inner life and
thoughts. Knowing that nothing is random, and that all of life is purposeful,
even people who seem so destructively different from us, allows us to
accept those “accidents” and those “scoundrels” as events with some
meaning for us. I can assure you that once you no longer need the lessons in
your life that unpleasant events  offer you, you will no longer have these
events. If forgiveness is something you need to practice, you will continue
to attract opportunities to practic e it. If your reaction is anger and hated and
defiance, then “those kinds of people” and “weird unlucky breaks” will
continue to be in your life. I rarely run into these things in my life anymore.
I look for the good in everyone, and I take responsibility for all that comes
my way, and I mean all of it! Consequently, I see what I believe, over and
over again. You too are seeing what you believe, and if you are blaming and
full of hate, that is what you believe, and, of course, that is what you see as
well.

Revenge.  We live in a world which endorses anger and revenge. It is a
world whose people are almost always at war in one way or another. War is
our extreme tool for handling disagreement. War is waged between nations
by those within the nations who are not at peace with themselves. Wars are
waged even as an attempt to solve human problems—“wars” on proverty,
drugs, illiteracy, and hunger. We pray to those who endorse forgiveness, we
claim to love and respect great spiritual masters and their teachings, but
when it comes to enacting forgiveness, we opt for revenge and war. Gunfire
in Bethlehem on Christmas Day and in Jerusalem on Easter Sunday are sad
reminders that forgiveness often is something that we pay lip service to,
while crucifying designated enemies.
Revenge is the acting out of the thoughts of blame. Blame is in the mind,
and revenge is acted out in form. The acting out part immobilizes those who
choose revenge as a lifestyle, and violates the most sacred sacrament
available to us: “Thou shalt not kill.” Yet kill we do, in numbers too large to
comprehend, and we are building weapons so massive in their destructive
ability that entire cities can be rendered into ashes along with all of their
inhabitants. While this is all part of the perfect way of things that is so
paradoxical, so too is the desire to end it that peace-loving people feel
within their hearts. So as this violence continues and intensifies, we all must
ask ourselves, “What is the lesson that we as a total body of humanity are
struggling to learn in this situati on?” The existence of ourselves and future
generations depends on our finding that answer.
Every day we hear of people  who have been wronged somehow—
injured, killed, maimed, raped, and robbed—and of the desire to exact
revenge on the perpetrators. Families of victims are filled with anger and
motivated by revenge. Hate flourishes along with demands for punishment
similar to the pain inflicted on their loved ones. Yet, even when that penalty
is carried out, the victimized continue to feel pain, suffering, and hatred.
They poison their souls with debilitating anger, and cannot continue their
lives free of this unwanted pain. They are victimized not only by the
criminal, but by their need to exact their revenge.
I remember a case that Earl Nightingale told me about. It really
impressed upon me the importance of forgiveness. A woman lost her only
daughter to a violent criminal act. For the next eighteen years the woman
was consumed by the desire for revenge, which remained unfulfilled, shebelieved, only because the death penalty had subsequently been banned in
the state where the murderer had received his death sentence. For eighteen
years, the mother was unable to function in a satisfying way, the way she
once wanted to. Throughout the years she sought help for her unhappiness
from a variety of sources. It was ultimately the act of forgiveness that freed
her. When she visited and forgave her daughter ’s murderer, still on death
row eighteen years later, she described it as a spiritual experience of love
for herself, her daughter, and the murderer.
Blaming others for the condition  of your life fuels anger. There are many
everyday folks and professional s who endorse anger as a healthy response
to the world. To the degree that anger is one of many feelings (thoughts)
that we, as human beings, are capable of, I concur. It would seem as
unlikely for us never to have anger as for the sky never to have clouds. The
problem occurs when we hang on to it deliberately or helplessly, and find
that we have blame, revenge, and judgment which we are unable or
unwilling to let go of. I do not approve of hitting children to teach them not
to hit others, or believe that the expression  of ange r is always therapeutic.
Nor do I believe in blaming others for my emotional state.
I recommend being gentle with yourself and loving yourself regardless of
how others respond in the universe. Try not being attached to any belief that
others should not be what they are, and instead understand that they are on
their own path, and that your opinion about them has nothing  to do with
how they behav e. Fill yourself with love even toward those who would do
you harm, which  is what all spiritual leaders have said, and see if you still
have anger and revenge. This is difficult only if you are attache d to having
the world be other than the way it is. If you can accept even that which you
want not to be and send love where you previously sent hatred, you will not


 proportionately. Thus
in 8 days my urine was clear and its flow was regular. There was no
burning any more and I was saved from a great danger. 1 am writing
this accol!nt after one month of the cure and I am now completely
free from the trouble.
5 A. Diabetes : An account of Shri Chaturbhai of Mogari village
(Kaira) has been given before. The wife of his brother suffered from
diabetes since long. She agreed to urine treatment and it was started
with rubbing. Within a week of rubbing she had some relief and
brightness appeared on her face. Fast was then undertaken for a few
days along with drinkingof urine. After a month's treatment, she got
rid of her diabetes. Her health improved, irritation in the limbs
disappeared, lethargy diminished and she became active and
energetic.
5 B. Diabetes : Jyotirvid Shri Jayakisandas Dayaram Panchal of
Bombay (28, Suraj Building, Elphinstone Road, Bombay 13) had
written to me an account of his cure of diabetes on 6-6-60. A
medical report was attached to it: · DISEASES OF THE KIDNEY : 1_35
. 'Five years ago, 1. suffered from diabetes. The skin on th~ tip of
·'Y penis had disintergrated and was torn. I felt severe b~rnmg and
itching sensation while passing urine. I used to apply an omtment of
Kemp & Co. Gradually all the joints from back to the feet began to
ache. Later the ache and burning increased. I was compelled to pass
urine repeatedly and had to get up three or four times during the
night. 1 suffered for four years in this way and then ~ent to see a
doctor. An examination revealed that I suffered from dtabetes. I am
41. By allopathic treatment the quantity of sugar in urine diminished
and my weight also increased but when I took some
rice-preparation, urine indicated sugar contents. ·
"I had stopped all medication three months before starting urine
thereapy. 1 collected auto-urine and began with rubbi~g.on 7-~-60.
On 14-3-60 1 began drinking it. On the first day of dnnkmg ~nne, I
observed complete fast and took, the entire urine passed dunng the
day. But the same day, there was acute pain in the head and I had to
eat Kondo (a small grain). From the next day, I took 4 glassful of
auto-urine daily. On the 8th day, sugar content was lowered below
normal and 1 had to take some extra sugar. I reduced the number of
glasses of urine to three only. Then it so happened that daily there
was deficiency in the sugar content in urine and I had to take exttra
sugar. Consequently, 1 postponed the treatment for eight days. and
wrote a letter to you for your advice. I cut down the ~uant1ty. of
urine to 4 ounces a day and also made certain changes 1n my dtet.
Along with this I got my urine examined frorn time to tim: but no
sugar was indicated. During the day, I take 3-4 ounces of unne three
times. 1 have decided to take regular and restricted diet as I want
to decrease my weight.
"I did not have any vomit or loose motions during the
experiment. But whenever sugar contents fell down in the urine, I
felt greatly irritated and felt whirling sensation in my head. A~ soon
as 1 took sugar both the complaints would disappear automatically. 1
have, however, decided to contiune drinking and rubbing urine".
It is important for the foJiower of this treatment to regularly 136 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY
observe its effects on his body and to make necessary changes in
the system with his common sense whenever some bad effect
appears. The apparent safety in doing so is the fact that no harm is
done in such changes and he comes to know of the real method for
treatment applicable to him. The natural treatments affect different
persons in different degrees according to their pyhsical dispositoon.
It is also quite possible that the same method for treatment may not
suit the physical constitution of all persons. It is truly said that one
should be a doctor of a Vaidya of oneself and adjust different natural
methods of treatment to his own requirement and thus bring his
health within his control.
C. Diabetes: Jyotirvid Shri jaikisands Panchal who cured himself
of diabetes has become a faithful protagonist of this treatment and
helps in its publicity. Shri Balaram Sakharam, his neighbour, is 50
and lives at Khar, Bombay. For past many years he is a victim of
diabetes. He met Shri Panchal and started urine experiment under
his guidance. Within a few weeks, he got rid of his diabetes. Here is
his account in short:
"I used to have tooth-ache and so I got the affected tooth
removed by a dentist. He advised pencillin injections in order to
reduce the pain. I had the injections administered by my ·
Life-Insurance doctor. After some time, inflammation appeared on
my whole body. I had another injection of penicillin which removed
the inflammation but produced a bad reaction. After three months,
urine increased in quantity. I had to pass urine seven times during
the day and seven times during the night. I felt very weak and I was
reduced in weight. A feeling of thirst was always there. There was
aching in my mouth and throat. I visited the doctor again and was
informed that I suffered from diabetes. On 12-5-59, doctor P. M.
Oza examined my urine in the clinical laboratory and reported
4.20% sugar content in it. I gave up the use of rice, sugar, tea and
sweets. For same days I took homoeopathic medicines also but
there was no improvement. The disease showed an upward trend
from 1-4-60. Boils appeared on the body and there was intense DISEASES OF THE KIDNEY : 137
burning around the urinarly aperture. The skin on penis was broken
and had lost its flexibility. Consequently, I had injections of insulin
and the sugar content in the blood decreased to 3.50 %.
"I met Shri Panchal and learnt about urine therapy from him. On
11-7-1960, a recorded examination indicated 3% sugar in my urine.
The same day I started drinking urine. I used to drink it four times a
day and twice in the night. Besides I also started urine massage
every day. In diet I took millet-bread and leafy vegetable curry.
Every week I met Shri Panchal and made changes in my diet
according to his advice. Sugar content gradually decreased and on
4-9-60 it was nil.
"The boils on the body were healed by this treatment and the skin
was cleared. On 25-9-60, I started taking rice. On 15-1 0-60, I took
rice, potatoes and sweet dishes and got my urine checked up. But
sugar was not indicated at all. Now I am quite well."
6. Diabetes and Paralysis: Urine treatment is now in use at many
places in Gujarat. To some extet1t, it has become popular in other
States also, Shri Saubhgyachandra Girdharla resides at Palitana in
Jain Society, Girivihar. On his advice his companion, Shri
Gulal;>chand K. Shah, who suffered from diabetes and paralysis,
benefited by urine treatment. Here is the account of his cure :
"I suffered from diabetes and had an attack of paralysis also on
the right half of my body. Fortunately I had gone through your book
Manav Mutra and am experimenting with it for the past one year. I
am glad to report that I have derived great benefit out of it. Had I
undertaken a fast on urine also, I would have had an early cure.
Unfortunately I find myself unable to fast. Nevertheless, though
gradually there has been considerabel improvement. Everyday after
brushing my teeth, I drink urine. In the afternoon I rub my entire
body with old urine. The pain in the knee-joints has already
disappeared, and even a trace of the back-ache is no more. I have
given up insulin injections also for the last one year. Now whenever
there is an ill-effect on my body, I use this marvellous liquid, and 138 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY
am definitely benefited. I am sixty-five now but can walk a distance
of three to four miles without any difficlty. My eye-sight improved
by urine-drops in my eyes."
The above account lacks some necessary details and is too brief.
It appears that Shri Gulabchand has not followed the treatment
systematically. The patients of diabetes and paralysis should take
into consideration all the factors about diet and seasonal changes
and should carry on the treatment patiently and systematically.

Vamana)
Medicine for Purgation (Virechana)
Medicine for Decoction Enema (Asthapana Basti)
Medicine for Fat enema (Anuvasana Basti)
After explaining these herbs, Master Charaka says –
e eﬃcacy of herb combination depends on
Matra – amount of herbs/medicines
Kala – season of collection of herbs, duration of disease in patient, duration
of medicine administration, age of the patient etc.
e usage of these herbs depends on
Dravyajnana – knowledge of the herbsYukti – intelligent planning that the doctor does, in choosing the right set of
herbs.
A physician, procient in these two principles is always superior to those
who are acquainted only with the medicine knowledge (ingredients and
indication)
After Panchakarma medicines, Charaka explains about Yavagu.
Order of Treating any Disorder in Ayurveda
First and best choice is Panchakarma
After Panchakarma – Agni – digestion strength is low. So, some medicines
are given to improve digestion strength.
Even food is also given from low dose, liquid food to high quantity solid
foods – gradually.
Once after the digestion strength is restored, then oral medicines for treating
the diseases are given.
First Panchakarma S eliminated out overly imbalanced Doshas.
After Panchakarma – improve digestion strength
Yavagu Fits in Here
After this, Once after the digestion strength is restored, then oral medicines for
treating the diseases are given – to eliminate or to pacify whatever the remnant
Doshas/symptoms.
Even after this if some symptoms are remaining, then Shirodhara, oil
massage etc sub therapies are used.
Chakarpani Commentary on Charaka
After explaining Panchakarma medicines, diﬀerent Yavagus are explained.•
•
•
•
•
•
•After Panchakarma, the digestion strength weakens.
e Yavagus are especially useful in improving the digestion strength and to
treat abdominal pain (Shoola).
After Panchakarma, the Diet of the Patient Is Planned From Liquid to
Solid.
is is because soon after Panchakarma, the digestion strength is low. Hence,
lighter liquid foods are given rst and gradually hard to digest solid foods are
introduced.
Like a tiny ame grows big with hey and cow dung cakes, with liquid – to –
solid diet, the digestion strength increases. – Charaka Siddhisthana 1
To aid in improving digestion strength, Yavagus are explained.
Usually spices are used in Yavagu preparation.
Yavagu are more dilute than a regular Kashaya
Often mixed with food preparations
Often prepared with food ingredients.
Formula for Yavagu
1p + 64P S 32 P
1 part of coarse powder of herb is added with 64 parts of water, boiled

Kashaya vs Yavagu
Kashaya – herbal decoction S 1:8 S 2
Yavagu S 1:64 S 32
Yavagu is ~1/8th times weaker than Kashayas.
Once you prepare kashaya with strong reduction of water boiling, You
cannot add water to kashaya to prepare Yavagu – the added water will
dilute the strength of the kashaya active principles and makes it
diﬃcult to digest.
Yavagu is

Diluted form of Kashaya.
Stands between medicine and diet drink.
Useful in medium Doshas, or in almost cured state of disease.
Less strong, less “re component” when compared to Kashaya.

Yavagu for Raktapitta: Medicated Gruels for Bleeding Disorders
Yavagu forms the most important dietetic inclusions in the treatment of
Raktapitta – bleeding disorders like nasal bleeding, Ulcerative colitis and
menorrhagia
Since Yavagu is gruel, it forms the food for raktapitta patients.
Chakrapani advises Tarpana (Tarpana = nutrition or nutritious food/drinks)
to be given in the form of food and yavagu.
Here, yavagu is used as diet, which serves the purpose of tarpana cooling and
nourishment.
In Raktapitta – bleeding disorders like nasal bleeding, Ulcerative colitis and
menorrhagia,
As a rule, Yavagu should be given after Langhana (lightening therapies),
mainly in the form of fasting or avoiding food.
After Langhana, the ama or immature essence of nutrients formed due to
sluggish digestion present in circulation will be digested.
is forms a suitable background for administration of cooling and

 cancer. It’s the phenolic compounds in both plums
and prunes that make them high in antioxidants. Use pitted
prunes in smoothies.
Blackberries
There’s a pattern here — can you see it? All ﬁve of the high-
antioxidant fruits are very dark: purple, blue, or black. It’s the
powerful antioxidant pigments in the skin and ﬂesh that score
high. Not surprisingly, blackberries are a very good addition to
smoothies and excellent in fresh juices.
Red Beans, Kidney Beans, and
Black Beans
Many legumes — speciﬁcally, black turtle beans, soybeans, red
kidney beans, pinto beans, black-eyed peas, and lentils — score
high in antioxidants, but only in their raw state. Once you boil
them, their antioxidant scores drop by roughly one-third.
For smoothies and juices, if you have a powerful blender (like a
Vitamix), you can grind your own dried beans or lentils or buyground or powdered beans or bean ﬂour in specialty food
stores.
Artichokes
I know, they’re hard to clean and cook, but the antioxidant
power of artichokes is high enough for them to make this list,
and you can purchase them cooked and preserved in water. Use
artichoke hearts as an ingredient in smoothies, not only for
their antioxidant properties but also because they stimulate the
production of bile in the liver, help gallbladder functioning, and
reduce cholesterol.
Garlic
You might think of garlic strictly as an herb, something to add
ﬂavor to dishes. I recommend that you use it as a vegetable and
in quantities that can positively affect your health.
Although you’ll likely be able to tolerate only one-half raw clove
to one whole raw clove of garlic in vegetable drinks, including it
will help to boost your overall daily consumption, which should
be two to four cloves a day (or about one whole head of garlic
per week) for the best medical beneﬁts.
Cabbage and Br occoli Rabe
Both cabbage and broccoli rabe are high in phytonutrients. Red
cabbage contains 36 different varieties of anthocyanins, those
powerful antioxidants found in the black, purple, blue, and red
plant pigments. Use it in juicing and smoothies for its calcium;
magnesium; potassium; and vitamins C, K, and A. One cup of
cooked cabbage supplies 4 grams of ﬁber, so lightly steam or
simmer it for use in smoothies.Broccoli rabe is a bitter-tasting relative of broccoli, with more
leaves and a smaller ﬂower head. Although broccoli is very
good and shouldn’t be ignored, broccoli rabe scores as high as
red cabbage as an antioxidant and like its plumper, less bitter
cousin, it’s low in calories and high in calcium, potassium,
vitamin C, folate, and vitamins K and A. Use broccoli rabe raw in
juicing and either raw or lightly steamed in smoothies.
Purple Cauliflower
Like purple and white carrots, purple cauliﬂower is making its
way into farmers’ markets and onto supermarket shelves. Both
white and purple cauliﬂower are rich in sulforaphane, a powerful
antioxidant. If you can’t ﬁnd the purple variety, eat the yellow or
the white, but eat it two or three times a week because it helps
to neutralize and rid your cells of carcinogenic molecules. One
cup of raw cauliﬂower provides 85 percent of your daily vitamin
C requirements; it also supplies vitamin K, folate, choline,
vitamin B6, potassium, ﬁber, and manganese, among other
nutrients.Appendix

V You don't need to relate your health to your age! For more than
100 years, Norman W. Walker, Ph.D., proved through research that
well-being and long life can go hand-in-hand. Modem day nutritionists
and medical researchers are just now discoverinq the truths which Dr.
Walker has known and,expounded throughout the twentieth century.
Dr. Walker himself was living proof that a longer, healthier life may be
achieved through proper diet, mental soundness, and intelligent body
care. Every year we read about a new fad diet, a "cure-all" drug, a food
supplement, or a revolutionary exercise program that will save our lives.
The Dr. Walker program is unique in that it doesn't use the promotional
words, "miracle, fad, or revolutionary"....it doesn't need them!
Dr. Walker's contributions to our living longer, healthier lives began
before the turn of the century in London, where as a young man he


 other and self-regulating in an extremely complex way. 64 "'Wisdom of the
57 Chapter 2
Body' is an attribute of living organisms," wrote Israeli medical researcher Gershom
Zajicek in a 1999 issue of the journal Medical Hypotheses. "It directs growing plants
toward sunshine, guides amoebas away from noxious agents, and determines the
behavior of higher animals. The main task of the wisdom of the body is to maintain
health, and improve its quality. The wisdom of the body has its own language and
should be considered when examining patients."65
The words of biologist Gregory Bateson from 1970 are certainly still valid today:
"[Walter] Cannon wrote a book on the Wisdom of the Body; but nobody has written
a book on the wisdom of medical science, because that is precisely the thing it
lacks."66
Clus tering:
How to Mak e an Epidemic Out of One Infected Patien t
After World War II, diseases such as tuberculosis, measles, diphtheria or
pneumonia no longer triggered mass fatalities in industrialized nations such as
affluent America. This became a huge problem for institutions like the Centers for
Disease Control (CDC), the American epidemic authorities, as redundan cy
threatened.67 In 1949, a majority voted to eliminate the CDC complete ly.68 Instead of
bowing out of a potentially very lucrative industry, the CDC went on an arduous
search for viruses.69 But, how to find an epidemic where there isn't any? You do
"clustering."
This involves a quick scan of your environment-hospitals, daycares, local bars,
etc.-to locate one, two, or a few individuals with the same or similar sympto ms.
This is apparently completely sufficient for virus hunters to declare an impending
epidemic. It doesn't matter if these individuals have never had contact with each
other, or even that they've been ill at intervals of weeks or even months. So, clusters
can deliver no key clues or provide actual proof of an existing or imminent microbial
epidemic.
Even the fact that a few individuals present the same clinical picture does not
necessarily mean that a virus is at work. It can mean all sorts of things including that
afflicted individuals had the same unhealthy diet or that they had to fight against
the same unhealthy environmental conditions (chemical toxins etc.). Even an
assumption that an infectious germ is at work could indicate that certain groups of
people are susceptible to a certain ailment, while many other people who are
likewise exposed to the microbe remain healthy. 70
For this reason, epidemics rarely occur in affluent societies, because these
societies offer conditions (sufficient nutrition, clean drinking water, etc.) which
58 The Microbe Hunters Seize Power
allow many people to keep their immune systems so fit that microbes simply do not
have a chance to multiply abnormally (although antibiotics are also massively
deployed against bacteria; and people who overuse antibiotics and other drugs that
affect the immune system are even at greater risk).
Just how inef fective clustering is in finding epidem ics becomes evident, moreover,
if we look more closely at cases where clustering has been used as a tool to sniff out
(allegedly impending) epidemics. This happened with the search for the causes of
scurvy, beriberi and pellagra at the beginning of the 20'h century. But, as illustrated,
it proved groundless to assume that these are infectious diseases with epidemic
potential.
The best-known example in recent times is HIV/AIDS. At the beginning of the
1980s, a few doctors tried to construct a purely viral epidemic out of a few patients
who had cultivated a drug-taking lifestyle that destroyed the immune system. We'll
discuss how virus authorities manufactured this epidemic in Chapter 3. For now,
we'll quote CDC officer Bruce Evatt, who admitted that, the CDC went to the public
with statements for which there was "almost no evidence. We did not have proof it
was a contagious agent. "71
Unfortunately, the world ignored all kinds of statements like this. So talk of the
"AIDS virus" has since kept the world in epidemic fear and virus hunters are now the
masters of the medical arena. Every cold, every seasonal influenza, hepatitis disease,
or whatever other syndrome has become an inexhaustible source for epidemic
hunters armed with their clustering methods to declare ever new epidemics that
pose threats to the world.
In 1995, allegedly, "the microbe from hell came to England," according to media
scientist Michael Tracey, who was then active in Great Britain and collected media
headlines like, "Killer Bug Ate My Face," "Flesh Bug Ate My Brother in 18 Hours,"
and "Flesh Eating Bug Killed My Mother in 20 Minutes." Tracey writes, "The Star
was particularly subtle in its subsidiary headline, 'it starts with a sore throat but you
can die within 24 hours."' Yet the bacterium, known to the medical world as
Streptococcus A, was anything but new. "Usually only a few people die from it each
year," says Tracey. "In that year in England and Wales just 11 people. The chances of
getting infected were infinitesimally small but that didn't bother the media ai: all. A
classic example of bad journalism triggering a panic. "72
In the same year, the US CDC sounded the alarm, warning insistently of an
imminent Ebola virus pandemic. With the assistance of cluster methods, several
fever cases in Kikwit, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, were separated out and
declared as an outbreak of the Ebola epidemic. In their addiction to sensation the
media reported worldwide that a deadly killer virus was about to leave its jungle lair
and descend on Europe and the USAJ3
59 Chapter 2
Time magazine showed spectacular pictures of CDC "detectives" in spacesuits
impermeable to germs and colorful photographs in which the dangerous pathogen
could ostensibly be seen. 74 The director of the UN AIDS program made the horror
tangible by imagining: "It is theoretically possible that an infected person from
Kikwit makes it to the capital, Kinshasa, climbs into a plane to New York, gets sick
and then poses a risk to the USA." Within a month, however, Ebola was no longer a
problem in Africa, and not one single case was ever reported in Europe or North
America >s And a publication in which the ebola virus is characterized (with its
genetic material and virus shell) and shown in an electron micrograph is still
nowhere to be found.
Polio: Pest icide s Such as DDT and
Heavy Metals Under Susp icion
Practically all of the infectious illnesses that infected people in industrialized
countries in th� decades before World War II (tuberculosis etc.) ceased to cause
problems after 1945. For a few years, the major exception was polio (infantile
paralysis), which continues to be called an infectious disease. In the 1950s, the
number of polio cases in developed countries fell drastically-and epidemic
authorities attributed this success to their vaccination campaigns. But a look at the
statistics reveals that the number of polio victims had already fallen drastically when
vaccination activities started (see diagram 2).
Many pieces of evidence justify the suspicion that the cause of infantile paralysis
(polio) is not a virus. Many experts, like American physician Benjamin Sandler,
believe a decisive factor is a high consumption of refined foods such as granulated
sugar. 76 Others cite mass vaccinations. Indeed, since the beginning of the 20th
century, it has been known that the paralysis so typical of polio have often appeared
at the site where an injection has been given. 77 Additional ly, the number of polio
cases increased drastically after mass vaccinations against diphtheria and whooping
cough in the 1940s, as documented in the Lancet and other publicatio ns.78 79 80
Polio, like most diseases, may be conditional on various factors. It makes
particular sense, howeve r, to take poisoning by industrial and agricultural pollution
into consideration, to explain why this nervous disease first appeared in the 19th
century, in the course of industrialization. It spread like wildfire in the industrialized
West in the first half of the 20th century, while in developing countries, in contrast,
there was no outbreak.
In the 19th century, the disease was named poliomyelitis, referring to degeneration
of spinal column nerves (myelitis is a disease of the spinal cord) typical of polio.81

THE E2 EXERCISE PROGRAM
Fighting a fire is more demanding than running a triathlon. It requires
a combination of strength, endurance, stamina, and mental acuity; you have
to be firing on all cylinders to perform the tough tasks that can be required
of you at any minute during your twenty-four -hour shift.
Every time the alarm goes of f, the following hour could be the most
challenging of your life. And that alarm doesn’ t care if you’re in the middle
of dinner, shampooing your hair, or dead asleep. You have to respond.
A few years ago Engine 2 responded to a high-rise fire. Such a situation
requires us to deal with both high population density and a huge fire load—
a recipe for potential disaster.
The fire turned out to be on the twenty-third floor of one of the city’ s
tallest buildings. Although the elevators automatically shut down in such
cases, firefighters have a special key to operate them. In this case, however,
the key didn’ t work, so we had to take the stairs.
Climbing twenty-three flights is never easy, but imagine doing it hauling
100 pounds of supplies. There’ s your bunker gear, which weighs about 20
pounds; an air pack, which weighs 35 pounds; and a high-rise hose, which
weighs around 50 pounds. Then there are the tools and flashlights, and
someone also has to hoist the high-rise pack, which contains wrenches and
other gear.
This is what I had to endure with my buddies from Engine 1: Russ, Josh,
Wayne, and JR. By the time we got to the tenth floor, two of them were
gasping for air; they could barely walk. So the remaining three of us took
the high-rise hose and pack and climbed the remaining thirteen flights of
stairs.Luckily, the fire didn’ t turn out to be serious—it was just some smoke
from a burned-out elevator motor—but imagine how the others would have
felt if something tragic had happened on the twenty-third floor.
These sorts of physical demands are another reason the firefighters at
Engine 2 took up the plant-strong diet plan with a vengeance. In fact,
physical exercise is a great adjunct to the Engine 2 Diet because, when
taken together, you’ll see your weight, and your cholesterol level, drop even
lower than you ever imagined!
There are two components to getting yourself into adequate Engine 2–
quality physical shape. The first is exercising the cardiovascular system (the
heart and lungs), which is worked whenever you do anything aerobic in
nature. You should try to get cardiovascular exercise, which elevates the
heart rate, gets the blood pumping, tones muscles, and burns calories,
twenty to forty minutes a day. This can be achieved by an aggressive walk
or by jogging, running, biking, swimming, rowing, or cross-country skiing.
The second is exercising the muscular system, worked whenever you do
some form of strength or resistance training.
The beauty of the Engine 2 strength training program is that each round
of exercises works both the cardiovascular system as well as the muscular
system.
My recommendation is that you aim to exercise at least five days a
week, whether cardiovascular or strength training, for anywhere from ten to
forty-five minutes. Ten minutes? Yes, even ten minutes counts! If you’re
busy and ten minutes is all you’ve got, use it. Oh, ya! Those ten short
minutes will do wonders. On many days the fifteen-minute bike ride from
my house to the fire station is the only exercise I get—yet it makes me feel
so invigorated, I’m on top of my game.
Fun fact: The longest word in the English language with one vowel
happens to be strengths. But for most people, this is where the fun ends, as
the thought of strength training conjures up images of weights and barbells,
muscle heads and gyms, and lots of time and too much money.
There is a better way. It’s called Engine 2 Strength Training. By relying
on your own body weight instead of metal weights, you can avoid the
crowds at the gym, instead exercising in the comfort of a park or your own
home, maximizing your time and ener gy, and do it all for zero money.
Why is strength/resistance training so important? First, added strength
will allow you to perform better in life—a life that requires you to stand,lunge, bend, twist, and lift on a daily basis.
Second, you will be strengthening not only your muscles, but also your
bones. Dropping all animal protein from your diet in conjunction with
strength training is a must for preventing osteoporosis.
Third, as we age, our muscles atrophy at an accelerated rate in a process
called sarcopenia. This weakening can be prevented and even reversed with
consistent strength training.
Finally, by consuming a calorie-light and nutrient-heavy plant-powered
diet, complemented with a strength training program, you will give your
body a beautiful one-two combination punch that will maximize weight loss
in the healthiest and most ef fective manner.
Keep up the exercise and you’ll even burn calories while you’re not
working out! By replacing your body’ s slow-burning fat with fast-burning
muscle, you will be increasing your RMR (resting metabolic rate). This is
the rate at which your body burns calories while you are resting, sitting, and
even sleeping. When you replace fat with muscle, you’ll increase your
RMR many times over.
In addition to increasing weight loss and ramping up your RMR,
strength training will also provide your physique with firmness and muscle
tone. You’ll look magnificent!
Audr ey Cravotta, 16
Student
Sometimes I hear weird things from other kids, like, “Dude, your
hair’s going to start falling out.” But then I also get things like, “Hey,
your skin looks really great,” and that makes up for it. Because that’ s
true. Also, I’ve lost ten pounds—and actually, my hair ’s never been
healthier.
BEFORE GETTING ST ARTED
Looking back over my life, I can’ t remember ever going more than two
days in a row without engaging in some type of exercise. Exercise has
become as much a part of my life as brushing my teeth and eating plant-
based food—it’ s my cup of cof fee in the morning; it’ s my nightcap in the
evening. If I can’ t fit in at least ten minutes of exercise a day, I don’ t feel
centered. And when I do get my exercise, I feel wonderful.Most of you probably don’ t feel the same way—yet. But as these
exercises help tone and strengthen, they’ll flood your body with endorphins,
your brain’ s happy-making chemicals.
While some of you may never have attempted anything like this before,
and may struggle a bit, other readers may be fit as a triathlete. So I’ve
designed the following circuit training for all ability levels—I’ve put
everyone from overweight moms and dads to professional athletes through
this program.
Please be sure to consult your doctor before beginning any exercise
program. Then, start where you’re comfortable, and as your strength,
coordination, agility, and confidence improve, move up a level. Stay
consistent and stay committed and your body will respond swiftly. As you
progress, know that someone out there is very, very proud of you (me).
BEFORE ST ARTING THE E2 EXERCISES,  I suggest warming up with a set of Carl
Sandbur g stretches, invented by the great American poet of the same name,
who did them every morning until the age of ninety-three. His daughter,
Helga Sandbur g (whom my grandfather, Dr. Barney Crile, married after his
first wife died), still performs these exercises every morning herself. She is
now ninety years old.
Here are six of the best Sandbur g stretches for you to do every day.
These will wake up your nervous system, boost your heart rate and core
temperature, and increase your muscular elasticity. (To see all the Sandbur g
stretches, go to www.theengine2diet.com.)
The Carl Sandburg Str etches
1. Sun Salutations
Start in the standing position with your hands by your sides, then
bend over and touch your toes (or as far as you can reach). Now, very
slowly stretch your hands up toward the sky, letting your back bend
slightly. Repeat this ten times.
2. Kicking Toe Touches
Start with your right arm and hand straight out in front of your body,
then kick up your left leg, trying to come as close as possible to touch
your hand. Now, do the reverse: Raise your left arm and hand, then
kick up your right foot to meet your left hand. Do this move ten
times, alternating from side to side.
3. Side Str etches
Start with your left arm straight up in the air, leaving your right arm
hanging by your side. Move your right hand down toward your right
calf, letting your left arm move over your head (your body will curve
to the right). Then, repeat this move to the opposite side, raising the
right arm and stretching to the left. Perform this motion ten times in
each direction.
4. Trunk Twists
Start with your hands on your hips. Twist your torso to the left, then
to the right. Do ten stretches to each side.5.

I believe the main  source of the intestinal fluke is under-
cooked  meat. After we are infected with it this way, we can give
it to each other through blood, saliva, semen, and breast  milk,
which means kissing on the mouth, sex, nursing, and child bearing.
Family members nearly always have the same parasites. If
one person develops cancer or HIV, the others probably have the
intestinal fluke also. These diseases are caused by the same
parasite. They should give themselves the same de-parasitizing
program.
Do this once a week. You may take these at different times in
the day or together:
1.Black Walnut Hull Tincture  Extra Strength : 2 tsp. on an
empty stomach, like before a meal.
2.Wormwood capsules : 7 capsules (with 200-300 mg
wormwood  each) at once on an empty stomach.
3.Cloves : 3 capsules (about 500 mg. each, or fill size 00
capsules yourself) at once on an empty stomach.
4.Take ornithine  as needed.

343The only after-effects you may feel are due to bacteria and
viruses escaping from dead parasites! Be sure to zap after taking
your maintenance parasite treatment. After-effects also let you
know that you did indeed kill something. Try to discover how
you might have picked up parasites and avoid them next time.
Pet Parasite Program
Pets have many of the same parasites that we get, including
Ascaris  (common roundworm ), hookworm, Trichinella,
Strongyloides, heartworm  and a variety of tapeworms. Every pet
living in your home should be deparasitized (cleared of para-
sites) and maintained on a parasite program. Monthly trips to
your vet are not sufficient.
You may not need to get rid  of your pet to  keep yourself  free
of parasites. But if you are quite ill it is best to board it with a
friend until you are better.
Your pet is part of your family and should be kept as sweet
and clean and healthy as yourself. This is not difficult to achieve.
Here is the recipe:
1.Parsley water : cook a big bunch of fresh parsley  in a quart
of water for 3 minutes. Throw away the parsley. After
cooling, you may freeze most of it in several 1 cup
containers. This is a month's supply. Put 1 tsp. parsley 11

 and so on...THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES
344water on the pet's food. You don't have to watch it go
down. Whatever amount is eaten is satisfactory.
All dosages are based on a 10 pound (5 kilo) cat or dog.
Double them for a 20 pound pet, and so forth.
Pets are so full of parasites, you must be quite careful not to
deparasitize too quickly. The purpose of the parsley  water is to
keep the kidneys flowing well so dead parasite refuse is elimi-
nated promptly. They get quite fond of their parsley water. Per-
haps they can sense the benefit it brings them. Do this for a week
before starting the Black Walnut Hull Tincture.
2.Black Walnut Hull Tincture  (regular strength):  1 drop
on the food. Don't force them to eat it. Count carefully.
Treat cats only twice a week. Treat  dogs daily,  for in-
stance a 30 pound dog would get 3 drops per day  (but work
up to it, increasing one drop per day). Do not use Extra
Strength.
If your pet vomits or has diarrhea, you may expect to see
worms. This is extremely  infectious and hazardous. Never let a
child clean up a pet mess. Begin by pouring salt and iodine15 on
the mess and letting it stand for 5 minutes before cleaning it up.
Clean up outdoor messes the same way. Finally, clean your hands
with diluted grain  alcohol (dilute 1 part alcohol with 4 parts
water) or vodka. Be careful to keep all alcohol out of sight of
children; don't rely on discipline for this. Be careful not to buy
isopropyl rubbing alcohol for this purpose.
Start the wormwood  a week later.

Parasites Gone, Toxins Next
Healing is automatic when you clean up  your body tissues.
Killing parasites and bacterial and viral invaders is fundamental.
Removing toxins which invite them into your organs is even more
fundamental.THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES
346How do you know which toxins are responsible for your
cancer? Unless you use a Syncrometer  to test, you can not know.
So learn to use a Syncrometer, it will save your life.
The only other alternative is to move to a safer environment.
Go on vacation. Stay in hotels less than ten years old (so the
plumbing hasn't started to corrode) but not in new construction
(give the carpets time to outgas). Do not have a freon containing
refrigerator in your room. Do not use the hair drier they supply.
Do not let them spray your room with anything. Launder the
sheets and towels yourself at a Laundromat with borax and/or
washing soda. Don't hesitate to drink the municipal water. Get
busy with your dental cleanup.
When you get better on vacation, let that be your inspiration
to move  from your home. All of the toxins come from a civi lized
lifestyle. Resolve to leave it behind. Select a warm climate
where you can spend your time outdoors


 she corrected.
“And what’ s wrong with that? We can all be wounded, every one of us.
The people who try to deny this have to live inside a shell of denial. That’ s
not what you want.”
She suddenly looked tired. “I just want to be happy.”
“That’ s what everyone wants, but you’re aiming much higher,” I said.
“You want to be real. And you’re willing to face what it takes to get there.
That’ s how your spirit is expressing itself right now.”Her mood broke, and she gave me a wan smile. “Having a warm body
next to me would help.”
There’ s nothing  obviously “spiritual” about Nina’ s situation, but in fact
the path to love beckons most strongly when old behaviors, beliefs, and
approaches no longer work. Ferment, restlessness, and discontent always
mark the beginning of the path.
Before we parted Nina and I embraced. “You don’t feel loved right now,”
I said, “and you doubt whether you are lovable. You feel instead that you
have failed or been let down. Allow these feelings to be what they are;
don’t try to run away from them. But know that the real issue lies
somewhere else—you are trapped in a definition of love that is far too
limited. Expand your definitio n, allow your conception of love to go
beyond your emotional needs, and your whole perspective will change. You
won’ t see failure and defeat. Far from it—you’ll see perfection. At every
moment, from the second you were conceived in the womb, your life has
been about love. Your existence is an expression of love, the only real
expression it can have. Everything else is an illusion.”

THE SPIRIT OF ROMANCE
IN OUR CUL TURE  we are not taught to see falling in love as a spiritual event,
yet for centurie s that was the accepted interpretation. When the question
“Where does love come from?”  was asked, the universal answer was God.
According to the New T estament,
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
The lives of saints of every religion have demonstrated love in its spiritual
dimension; at the same time the humblest person who fell in love also
realized he was treading on sacred ground. Over the centuries, particularly
in the West, the divine connection was lost, however, and romantic love
became a more earthly matter, more centered in the entrancing charms of
another individual (“How do I love thee, let me count the ways”).
In spiritual terms falling in love is an opening, an opportunity to step into
the timeless and stay there, to learn the ways of spirit and bring them down
to earth. All openings are temp orary—this is not a limitation specific to
falling in love. The real question is, What should we do with the opening?
The highest spiritual qualities— those of truth, faith, trust, and compassion
—grow from the tiniest seeds of daily experience. Their first sproutings are
exceedingly vulnerable, and there is no guarantee they will not wither and
die. How can we tend this fragile opening of the heart, nurture it until it
develops into more substantial stages of growth?
To do that we must examine romance, the first stage in love’ s journey, as
part of a timel ess cycle that brings greater and greater knowledge of
spiritual reality The insights of this first stage are, naturally enough, those
relating to a new birth:Love knows that you exist and car es for your existence.
Timeless spirit can touch you in this world of time.
With a new birth of the heart, you will see a new world.
Love is never old but r enews itself with every lover.
Flesh and spirit can shar e in the same delights.
All people ar e innocent in the light of love.
When you fall in love these insights come to you like fresh water, yet
they are as ancient as the path to love itself. The sensation of romantic love
is so overwhelming that it is easy to neglect the value of these insights; they
are among the most joyous that anyone can experience here on earth. For
lovers inner growth begins in a state of rapture.
There are four distinct phases of romance. Although not everyone can
expect to experi ence them exactly the same way, all four naturally emer ge
once your feelings for someone else go beyond friendship to passionate
attachment. The four phases are
Attraction
Infatuation
Courtship
Intimacy
Attraction begin s when one person picks out, through means usually totally
unknown and unconscious, another person to be smitten by. Infatuation, in
which the beloved becomes all-desirable and all-enveloping, soon follows.
In the depths of infatuation the lover ’s fantasy life can become both wild
and extreme. If there are no insurmountable barriers, the phase of courtship
will arrive next. The beloved is wooed to create the same attraction the
lover so overwhelmingly feels.
If the courtship is successful, intimacy follows. The underlying sexual
excitement that plays such a strong part in romance, and that at first is
restrained by the oudet of fantasy, is now allowed fulfillment. Through
intimacy the union of two people begins to be played out in the real world
rather than within an isolated psyche. Reality dawns as the lovers’ rosy
images get tested against a real person. For better or worse, there is anunmasking of fantasy, and the way is cleared for the next stage of love’ s
journey, relationship.
These four phases of romance occur in a natural, linear sequen ce, but at
the same time they come full circle. For a time lover and beloved are
exempted from everyday reality; extraordinary states of emotion and
attraction place them on a privileged plane. Once fantasy is unmasked,
either the lovers will find thems elves fallen back to earth or they will have
learned from their experience and will be ready to integrate it into love’ s
further growth.
Although it happens spontaneously, falling in love isn’t accidental—there
are no accidents in the spiritual life, only patterns we haven’ t yet
recognized.
All love is based on the sear ch for spirit.
This is the first major insight to be found in romantic love—it really isn’t
about two people who have fallen madly for each other; it is about two
people seeing spirit in each other.
One expression of this idea comes from ancient India; here the mythic
king Y ajnavalkya is speaking about love to his queen:
Truly, it is not for the sake of the husband that the husband is dear, but for the sake of the
Self.
And it is not for the sake of the wife that the wife is dear, but for the sake of the Self.
And it is not for the sake of the sons that the sons are dear, but for the sake of the Self.
Indeed, my beloved, it is the Self that should be seen, the Self that should be heard, the
Self that should be reflected upon, and the Self that should be known.
This passage from the “great forest teaching” (Brihadaranyaka Upanishad )
dates from thousands of years ago. If what it proclaims is true, then falling
in love is undeniably an act of the soul. Falling in love drives you to
passionate merging with your beloved, but the deeper passio n is for the
Self, the source of all love.
THE SECRET OF A TTRACTION
Any creature capable of reproducing with another of its kind must feel
attraction, but humans are unique in that we can see meaning  in ourattraction. Hence there is a huge difference between falling in love
unconsciously, as if struck by a bolt of lightning, and consciously
embracing love’ s gift with full knowledge that this is what your soul craves,
what you live for, what you will put foremost in your life.
In ancie nt India the ecstasy of love was called Ananda, or bliss
consciousness. The ancient seers held that humans are meant to partake of
this ananda at all times. As I noted before, one famous verse of the Vedas
declares of humans, “In bliss they were conceived, in bliss they live, to bliss
they will return.” Ananda is much more than pleasure, even the most
intense erotic pleasure. It is one-third of the formula for the spirit’ s true
nature, describe d by the Vedas as Sat Chit Ananda, or eternal bliss
consciousness.
As we shall see, the path to love ends with the full realizatio n of this
simple phrase. Sat is eternal truth upholding everything in existence; when
sat is fully established, there is no evil or suffering because nothing is
separate from unity. Chit is the consciousness of that unity; it is the fullness
of peace that has no possibility  of being disturbed by fear. Ananda  is the
ultimate joy of being in this awareness; it is the unchanging bliss that all
glimpses of ecstasy aim to become. The path of love carries us to full
knowledge of all three aspects without doubts. But the one we taste most
often here on earth is the last—ananda—in the joy of falling in love.
Romance is set apart fr om all other forms of love by the intensity of bliss.
Two people who fall under each other ’s spell experience a revolution in
their deepest beings from the sudden discovery that


.
Maya would be a worthless or degrading trick if we could not
pierce its mask. Who wants to be told that he is too ignorant to see
the real reality? In the case of a doctor, one is almost forced to
pierce the mask of Maya, because so many patients, like Joe Riker,
keep throwing our ignorance  back into our faces. My own patient,
Mr. Elliott, at least had a slim objective reason—the bad news about
his heart—that he could blow up out of all proportion. But I cannot
really convince myself that this reason is good enough. Somewhere
deep inside, each of us know s that the rules that hold life together
are provisional, and we can decide, with barely a wisp of a reason,
to stop abiding by them. A secret decision maker can awake in panic
and anger, roaring, “I made this body, I control it, and I will do with
it what I will!”
Maya does not generally shift this violently. The body has been
set up to operate like a well-behaved machine. Yet to claim that the
body is literall y a machine is to express a subjective decis ion, not an
objective fact. One time I was asked to speak in front of a small
audience of Boston doctors, and the physician who introduced me, a
pathologist, began genially, “I’m sure we will all nd the views of
mind-body medicine intriguing, but I must declare that I am a
scientist, and until I can see it under my microscope, I cannot
believe that a thing is real.”
“I’m embarrassed to begin,” I responded, “because I was going to
try to prove that what you can see under your microscope has no
reality at all. I don’t want to put you out of a job.”
“Go ahead,” he said amiably, “I don’t think you can prove that,
and besides, I secretly want to be a psychiatrist anyway.”
Everybody laughed, but I wonder if he grasped that I was serious.
If you exclude every part of a human being that can be viewedunder a microscope, nothing remains for the scientist to hold on to.
Every atom inside us is more  than 99.999 percent empty space, and
the “solid” particles whizzing around are themselves just compact
bundles of energy vibrations. As you sift through this solid-looking,
convincing body, you only have to go so far before you wind up
with a handful of nothing. Yet this nothing is not really a void but a
womb. With incredible fertili ty, our inner space gives birth to “love
and hate, joy and sorrow, misery and happiness, pleasure and pain,
right and wrong, purpose, meaning, hope, courage, despair, God,
heaven and hell, grace, sin, salvation, damnation, enlightenment,
wisdom, compassion, evil, envy, malice, generosity, camaraderie,
and everything, in fact, that makes life worth living.” That is quite
an impressive list of things for scientists to exclude from reality. (R.
D. Laing made up the list, but then he is a psychiatrist.)
Scientists defend objective facts by saying, “I can see and touch
this thing; it has measurable dimensions; it follows objective laws
that mathema tics can describe to the nth power.” This sort of
reasoning does not prove much. If I go to a movie, I can walk right
up to the screen and count the stitches on the actors’ clothes. If I
take a diagnostic look, I can nd signs of disease  in their
appearance, and with the proper microscope, I could probably
examine the skin cells on the celluloid image. None of that makes
the image real. Our bodies occupy three dimensions instead of the
two occupied by a movie, which means that I can go deeper into the
image I see and touch, but that doesn’t make it any more real,
either.
What makes the body more real than a movie is Maya. Above all
else, Maya is convincing. If it were not, we would all see through it,
and yet the next layer of reality would be Maya as well. The process
doesn’t ever have to end. As long as you want “proof” that the
sensory world is real, Maya is deep enough to have all the layers
you want: organs give way to tissues, tissues to cells, cells to
molecules, and on to atoms, protons, electrons, quarks, and nally—
nothing.
Intellectually, we all know that empty space is all there is at the
bottom of things, but to keep everyday life going, we agree tocertain conventions. “Objective” science is the keeper of these ad
hoc rules and performs an extremely valuable task so long as it
remembers that rules are made to be broken. For example, in the
midst of this machine we call a body, nothing is more orderly and
reliable than the heart. Its complex workings have challenged
brilliant medical minds for four hundred years, ever since William
Harvey discovered the circulation of the blood. But like every other
part of the body, the heart is just empty space when you get down
to it. The “real” heart is not this tough bundle of twitching muscles
that beats 3 billion times before it expires but the organizing power
that pulls it together, that creates a thing out of nothingness.
Dr. Harvey’s Metaphor
Historically, the heart played a key role in turning the body into a
machine. As early as 1616 Harvey wrote a simple sente nce in his
notebook: “The movement of the blood is constantly in a circle, and
is brought about by the beat of the heart.” No one had ever
expressed such a daring thought before (at least not in the West;
ancient texts from India give credence to the claim that Ayurvedic
physicians had already discovered blood circulation centuries
earlier). Harvey’s bold assertion ew in the face of the greatest
medical authority of the ancient world, the Greek physician Galen,
whose words had remained law for fourteen centuries.
In Galen’s view—and therefore the view of every educated
physician in Europe—the heart helped the lungs to bring pneuma
into the body;  this was the Greek term for the invisible vital force
that kept living creatures alive. Galen held that the blood did not
circulate. Rather, there were two kinds of blood, one in the arteries,
the other in the veins, which ebbed back and forth like the tides.
Blood of either kind was produced by the liver; it then oozed out to
every other part of the body and in some unexplaine d way got
consumed, never to return to its source.
Since their culture was revolted by the thought of dissecting
corpses, the fathers of Greek medicine gave scant attention to the
anatomy of the heart. Observing the living heart was out of thequestion, and in any case, its beat went by too fast to be accurately
described, taking barely a second in a human being and far less time
in smaller animals. This led medieval churchmen to state
denitively that only God could know the actual workings of the
heart.
Doctors had of course seen blood spurt from cut arteries and
noted the dierence between the bright red of arterial blood and the
dark bluish red of venous blood. They had also detected  the pulse,
but it was thought to be the independent throbbing of the arteries
themselves. In one way or another all these details were tted into
Galen’s scheme.
Harvey was a short, intens e, black-haired man and a fervent
experimentalist. He paid shermen to bring him live shrimp from
the estuaries of the Tham es so that he could peer into their
transparent bodies and watch their blood move. He visited butchers
and looked into the carcasses of animals as they died, because only
then did their heartbeats slow down enough to be observable. He
thrust his hand s into the steaming cavities of expiring dogs and pigs
to squeeze their arteries and veins; in this way he could personally
validate that the arterial blood owed away from the heart and the
venous blood back toward it.
Yet what Harvey supplied was not just new observations but a
new metaphor for the heart. He took the ineable source of our
tender emotions, the seat of love, the mystery knowable only by the
divine mind, and reduced it to the status of a pump. This was not
the rst time that the metaphor of the machine had been applied to
the human body, but it established such a deep mind-set that
medicine still has not recovered.
Very few people seem to realize that Harvey was not handing
down pure truth. A metaphor is a symbol, a verbal play that
substitutes an imaginative word for a literal one. In metaphor, the
woman you love can be a rose, the sun, the moon and the stars—all
images that express your feelings better than the naked statement
“My love is a woman.” Callin g the body a machine is a particularly
powerful metaphor because “machine” is not a poetic word—it is
hard, solid, literal. A machine is a thing of matter, not of fancy.Doctors are great believers in matter. Training to become a doctor
reinforces this bias again and again, from that moment in medical
school when you rst touch a dissecting scalpel to a cad


food cleansing diet or even a raw food diet with nuts and grains that hardly detoxifies, and then the
person has had chemotherapy and radiation, the medical doctors in attendance are inevitably amazed that the side effects are much
milder than anticipated, or non -existent. And fewer courses of chemotherapy are needed than the doctors expected.
    For example, I worked with a little boy with leukemia. His mother brought him to me while trying to resolv e a conflict with her
ex-husband about the boy's treatment. The father demanded the standard medical route; the mother was for natural therapy.
Eventually the father won in court, but I had the boy on my program for three months before the doctors got thei r hands on him.
Even during chemotherapy and radiation the mother kept the boy on my program. Throughout the doctors' treatment he had so few
bad side effects that he was able to continue in school and play with the other children; he did not lose his hair  (which would have
made him feel like a freak). He recovered. I don't mind that the medical doctors took credit, but to my thinking, he recovere d
despite their therapy.

Onion Cases
    All too many of my cases are what I privately refer to as onion cases.  By this I mean the opposite of a simple case. There are
multiple complaints. I call them onion cases because these people get better in layers, like pealing an onion. As each skin c omes
off, the next becomes visible. Sometimes when the patient overcomes a n existing complaint, another appears that was not there in
the beginning, probably this new one is a complaint that they had at an earlier point in their life, one that had gone away. Onion
cases take a long time to completely heal, sometimes years. There  frequently are psychological aspects to the case that surface with
different physical problems. If I were not an effective psychologist I could not succeed with most of them. The average medic al
doctor probably considers onion cases to be hypochondriacs, but they usually are not.
    Almost always the first symptoms that demand attention are the most life -threatening, like immune system failures, liver
failures, pancreatic failures, nervous system failures and heart failures. With these eliminated, new complaints appear. Ofte n thes e
are endocrine system imbalances or weak endocrine glands, anemias, mild heart conditions. Then it gets down to eye or ear
infections, muscular or skeletal weaknesses, mild skin problems, sinusitis, teeth problems; things that aren't serious but th at do
degrade the quality of life. Each one of these layers also carries with it a psychological component; each of these layers can  take
three to six months to resolve.
    I had a pretty good idea from the first visit that Daniel, not yet 30, was going to take some time to get well. He already had a
degenerative condition not usually seen until middle age –crippling gout and arthritis. He had badly distorted joints, walked with
considerable pain, lacked a full range of movement, had enormous fatigue and consequen tly, a well -justified depression. Daniel
was about to give up working as no longer possible, but he liked his job. And he certainly needed it.
    Daniel's analysis showed massive allergies to foods, a systemic yeast and multiple virus infections and multi ple organ
weaknesses: a life -threateningly weak immune system, weak pancreas, weak adrenals, weak large intestine. Because he could
hardly accept anything he wasn't allergic to and because he could not afford to quit working even for a few weeks (though he  was
about to be forced into complete disability) I put him on a Bieler fast. This is a monodiet of fairly substantial quantities of either
well-cooked green beans or well -cooked zucchini, the choice between these two foods depending on the acid -base balan ce of the
blood. (Henry Bieler, 1965) In Daniel's case my choice was zucchini, one pint of plain zucchini puree with a little kelp and garlic
added (no salt, no butter, no nothing else) every few hours. I also put him on heavy vitamin support and protomorp hogens for his
desperate immune system. While on the Bieler fast he did daily enemas at home. Had colonics been available to him, Daniel
couldn't have afforded them.
    Within three weeks he was far more comfortable, had less pain, more energy even though  he was still eating nothing but
zucchini, had less swelling in his joints. During the first month he lost about ten pounds and had been skinny to start with.  I then
added other cooked nonstarchy vegetables to his diet and we continued the same protomorpho gen and supplement program for
another month.
    Once each month Daniel came to see me. Each time he had slightly improved organ strength and was able to tolerate a few more
foods. By the third month he stopped losing weight because we added small quanti ties of cooked rice and millet to his diet.
However, to continue his detox, I had him water fast one day a week, staying in bed and resting all day. At the start and end  of the
fasting day he also took an enema. He continued a weekly one -day fast for many months. By the fourth month, his immune system
testing stronger, a new problem appeared. Daniel had intestinal parasites. So I also put him on a six month program to elimin ate
those.
    Daniel required monthly dietary adjustments because he quickly became  allergic if he ate very much of anything very often –
broccoli or rice for example. During this time he became aware of many negative emotions associated with childhood, of young
adult frustrations and disappointments. He was really very angry about many th ings in his life, even though he had for many years
maintained an invariably pleasant social veneer. But now he began expressing some of these feelings to me and to his associat es.
    Daniel had an abusive girlfriend, but as he improved this relationship became insufferable. So he broke off with this woman and
found a new relationship that was much more positive, one based on mutual respect and admiration. There are frequently strong
connections between repressed anger and depository diseases like arthriti s and gout. Daniel could not permit himself to constantly
be made angry and still get well.
    His next layer of symptoms did not appear until nearly eighteen months after he had first come to see me. By this time he had
good energy, had returned to hikin g and skiing, camping and canoeing. He had worked as a printer but was now bootstrapping his
own print shop on a shoestring, and became entirely self -employed. He had a good romantic relationship. The parasites were gone;
his gout and arthritis was virtual ly gone; many of his food allergies were gone. Now his body was demanding that its acid/base
balance be adjusted and he began to pay attention to the minor back problems he had all along. Daniel had also developed a ne w
problem –inflammation of the eye. It was so severe that he went to an opthamologist seeking immediate relief because he could
hardly see. I put him on massive doses of vitamin C and protomorphogens for the eye and we attacked the other problems.
    Now I still see Daniel every three months f or minor dietary and supplement adjustments. His emotional space is very positive.
His business is doing well. His love life is doing well. He has developed no new problems and all the old ones are under cont rol.
His organ systems, though better, will neve r tolerate many insults, physical or mental, but if he lives within his limits, he has every
chance of a long and happy life.
    Daniel has become a friend of mine by now and I like to see him but I expect I won't see Daniel very much at all any more. He
has learned what he needs to know to take care of himself. This is a typical onion case that resolved successfully. However t his
case might not have worked out so well had Daniel not possessed a high degree of personal integrity and bravery, had he not f aced
and resolved his emotional conflicts. Fortunately, Daniel had always conducted an ethical life, without dishonesty or a secre t
collection of disreputable acts. Bodies are easy to fix; they are carbon oxygen engines that work on chemistry and respond
unfailingly to physical measures. But the entity that runs the body is not so simple. The thoughts and emotions of the spirit
impinge on a body as powerfully or more powerfully than all the vitamins, dietary reform or protomorphogens I can provide. Th e
mind,  and the spirit behind that mind, can make a body sick or can prevent it from getting well or staying well despite everything I
do.

Unethical Illness
    I see a lot of spiritually -induced physical illness in my practice. Maybe more than my share. Maybe i ts karmic; it tends to find
me because I understand it. And it comes up my driveway because people who have it often become doctor shoppers, and seek out
a naturopath as a last resort after exhausting everything that modern medical science has to offer. I have had large numbers of
undiagnosable people that suffer greatly but who medical doctors can find nothing wrong with and label psychosomatic. I have
also repaired people given specific medical diagnoses that standard physical remedies cannot make better.
    In most of these cases, the physical illness is secondary to, is an overlay of a more fundamental spiritual cause. On this ty


 the
blood levels of homocysteine, which
helps protect against heart disease.
The flavonoids in spinach help protect
against age-related memory loss. Its secret
weapon is lutein, which makes it one of
the best foods in the world to prevent
cataracts, as well as age-related macular
degeneration, the leading cause ofpreventable blindness in the elderly.
Foods rich in lutein are also thought to
help prevent cancer.
Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes provide an excellent
source of carotenes and the darker
varieties contain a higher concentration.
They also offer a good source of vitamins
B2, B6 and C, manganese, copper, biotin,
pantothenic acid and fibre. Sweet potatoes
contain unique root storage proteins,
which have been shown to have
significant antioxidant effects. Being rich
in dietary fibre, they lower the risk of
constipation, diverticulosis, colon andrectal cancer.
Sweet potatoes have been found to be
helpful in minimizing the risk of heart
disease, diabetes and obesity. Eating
sweet potatoes has been known to help in
avoiding stroke, by bringing down the
harmful effects of low-density cholesterol
and preventing blood clots.
The presence of beta-carotene in sweet
potatoes helps the body fight against free
radicals and thus assists in preventing
cancer. Since they have a low glycemic
index (GI), they can be consumed by those
suffering from diabetes without concern.
The high amount of potassium helps the
body in maintaining fluid and electrolytebalance as well as cell integrity.
Sweet potatoes have been found to be
beneficial for blood purification as well
as lowering of blood pressure. Owing to
the presence of calcium and iron, they
ensure proper blood flow and also
improve bone density. Regular
consumption of sweet potato is good for
stomach ulcers and inflamed condition of
the colon.
Swiss Chard
Swiss chard is a tall, leafy green
vegetable with a thick, crunchy stalk that
comes in white, red or yellow with widefan-like green leaves. Chard belongs to
the same family as beets and spinach, and
shares a similar taste profile. Both the
leaves and stalk are edible, although the
stems vary in texture with the white ones
being the most tender.
The leaves and roots have been the
subject of fascinating health studies. The
combination of traditional nutrients,
phytonutrients (particularly anthocyans)
plus fibre seems particularly effective in
preventing digestive tract cancers. Several
research studies on chard focus
specifically on colon cancer, where the
incidence of precancerous lesions in
animals has been found to be significantly
reduced following dietary intake of swisschard extracts or fibre.
Swiss chard is also a very good source of
copper, calcium, vitamins B1, B2 and B6,
protein, phosphorus, zinc, folate, biotin,
niacin and pantothenic acid.
Tamarind
Tamarind is a long bean-like pod that
belongs to the vegetable order but is
treated like a fruit. Its name is derived
from the Arabic word ‘tamar’, meaning a
dry date fruit. It was the Arabs in India
who gave the name of ‘tamar-hindi’ to this
tree.Tamarind is green when immature and,
when it matures, it becomes fatter and
changes colour to a sandy brown. Its flesh
consists of dry, sticky, dark brown pulp
and inside the pulp are shiny black seeds.
It is this pulp that people eat to get all the
nutritional and health benefits of the
tamarind. The pulp has a very sour taste
while it is young. As it ripens it gets
sweeter, although the tamarind generally
has a sour, acidic taste which is a
favourite flavouring for a host of fish and
curry dishes.
The pulp is used for jams, syrups and
sweets. In the west, tamarind is used in the
preparation of Worcestershire and
barbecue sauces, and other meatcondiments.
Tamarind is a good source of antioxidants
that fight against cancer. It contains
carotenes, vitamins C and B, and
flavonoids. Tamarind lowers cholesterol
and promotes a healthy heart.
Tofu
Tofu is a low-fat, low-cholesterol, low-
calorie food made from steamed and
compressed soya beans. Not only is it a
great source of protein, which many
vegetarians lack, but it is also heart-
healthy and has been linked to a decreased
risk in cancer. In addition to being used asa meat alternative, tofu is served in a
number of spicy and ethnic dishes, which
were never intended to contain meat.
Many ethnic Indian dishes contain large
amounts of tofu, cooked and spiced in
different ways.
Tofu is rich in both high quality protein
and B vitamins making it an excellent
substitute for meat in many vegetarian
recipes. It contains a lot of calcium, which
originates from the coagulant (nigari).
When making tofu, the soya proteins are
precipitated with calcium, providing a
ready source of calcium, which
contributes to the prevention of
osteoporosis.An additional benefit is that tofu is
extremely easy to digest. This is because
the soya bean’s fibre is removed during
the manufacturing process. As with most
other soya foods, tofu reduces heart
disease by lowering the level of LDL
(‘bad’) cholesterol and, as a result,
maintaining the level of good cholesterol
(HDL).
Tofu is rich in isoflavones. During the
manufacture of tofu, the soya isoflavones,
genistein and daidzein, remain bound to
the soya protein. Firm tofu contains about
35 mg of isoflavones per 100g.
Isoflavones reduce the risk of
osteoporosis, lower rates of breast and
prostate cancers, and reduce menopausalsymptoms including mood swings and hot
flushes.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes, which are actually a fruit and
not a vegetable, are loaded with all kinds
of health benefits for the body. They are in
fact a highly-versatile health product and,
due to their equally versatile preparation
options, there’s really no reason to neglect
them as part of a healthy diet.
One of the best-known benefits of the
tomato is its lycopene content. Lycopene
is a vital antioxidant that helps in the fight
against cancerous cell formation as wellas other types of health complications and
diseases. Free radicals in the body are
neutralized by the high levels of lycopene,
and the tomato is so amply loaded with
this vital antioxidant from which it
actually derives its rich redness.
Lycopene is not produced within the
human body so we require sources of
lycopene in order to make use of this
powerful antioxidant. While other fruits
and vegetables contain necessary health
ingredients, none have the tomato’s high
concentration of lycopene. Cancers such
as prostate, cervical, colon, rectal, and
cancers of the stomach, mouth, pharynx
and oesophagus have all been proven to
be staved off by high levels of lycopene.Researchers introduced lycopene into pre-
existing cancer cell cultures and it
prevented the continued growth of these
cultures. This is pretty powerful evidence
that the health-benefits of eating tomatoes
are really quite phenomenal.
When choosing your tomatoes, be sure to
pick those with the most brilliant shades
of red, which indicate the highest amounts
of beta-carotene and lycopene. Though
raw tomatoes are very good for you,
cooking them releases even more benefits.
Lycopene is located in the cell wall of the
tomato so by cooking in a little olive oil
this healing compound is more fully
released, allowing your body to absorb it
better. Tomatoes do not lose any of theirnutritional value in high-heat processing,
making canned tomatoes and tomato sauce
just as viable and beneficial as fresh
tomatoes.
Turkey
Turkey is a very good source of protein,
selenium, niacin, vitamins B6 and B12,
zinc and the amino acid tryptophan. The
skinless white meat is an excellent
high-
protein
, low-fat food. It also has less
saturated fat, less total fat and less
cholesterol than chicken, pork or beef.
The health benefits of turkey include
reducing LDL (‘bad’) cholesterol,
mood-enhancing properties, helping to prevent
cancer, boosting testosterone and the
immune system. The amino acid
tryptophan is needed for T cells, a type of
immune system cell that kills cancer cells.
T cells activated in the absence of free
tryptophan become susceptible to death
via apoptosis. Neurotransmitters are made
from amino acids, and the neurotransmitter
serotonin is made from tryptophan.
Serotonin helps to improve mood and
eating food such as turkey can help
improve your mood.
Turkey contains selenium, which plays an
essential role in helping to eliminate
cancer-friendly free radicals in the body.
It is a good source of vitamins B3 and B6.Vitamin B3 helps lower blood
cholesterol, is essential for healthy skin
and helps improve brain function.
