MODULE 3.2
Proteins and their Metabolism

The term “protein” is used to designate a structure created from chained
amino acids. We tend to use this word in general when defining the needs of
the body, but is important to understand that your body is not designed to use
and metabolize “structures.” Since your body is designed to use only the
simplest of compounds and bio-available elements, it must break down
(digest) these “structures” into the elements that comprise them, and then use
these simpler compounds for its own needs.
Proteins are made up of amino acids, which are made up of carbon,
hydrogen, oxygen, lots of nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur and iron. As notedabove, your body cannot use a “protein” structure. Therefore, part of your
digestive process will break these structures down into their simplest form—
into amino acids, the basic building blocks or material that your body uses to
build its own protein structures. Amino acids are used to make repairs, to
create new structures, to enhance immune response, to act as transporters and
to serve a multitude of other purposes.

PROTEIN DIGESTION

IN THE STOMACH VIA GASTRIC JUICES
 —
HCL
 (hydrochloric acid) causes the conversion of pepsinogens to pepsin,
which breaks down complex protein structures to proteoses and peptones.
IN THE PANCREAS
 — Pancreatic enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsinconvert peptones to polypeptides.
IN THE INTESTINES
 — Intestinal enzyme peptidase converts peptones,
polypeptides and dipeptides into amino acids.
MODULE 3.3
Fats (Lipids) and their Metabolism

Fats are one of the “Big Three” componants that all foods have to some
degree. Proteins (amino acids), carbohydrates (sugars) and fats (essential fatty
acids) are the main building blocks, fuels and carriers that your body requires
to keep itself healthy. Fats are vital to your body in numerous ways:
Fats are used as storage units for energy (triglycerides).
Fats provide “padding” or “cushioning” as protection for your internal
organs.
Fats assist with the utilization of fat-soluble vitamins (including A, D and
E).
Fats are used as part of your body’s mechanism to insulate your internal
components and vital organs from environmental conditions (like cold
weather).
Fats guard against internal heat loss.
Fats combine with certain proteins creating diglyceride phospholipids,
which are a part of every cell membrane wall.
Fats serve as anti-inflammatory mediators.
As we noted earlier, all components of life, including all foods, are made
up of the four basic elements of oxygen, hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen.
Each component will contain varying amounts of some or all four of these
elements. Water—H
2
0—for example, has two atoms of hydrogen (H
2
)
combined with one atom of oxygen (O). Fats are comprised of mainly carbon
(C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O), and are insoluble in water but soluble in
ether and other solvents. Fats are divided up into two basic types, saturated
and unsaturated, and are comprised of fatty acids and glycerol (an alcohol).
Fatty acids are the building blocks of fats, just as amino acids are the
building blocks of proteins. Fatty acids form “chains” through their carbon
bonding. These carbon chains attract hydrogen to them. When each bondingsite of a carbon chain has been bonded with a hydrogen atom, the chain—or
fat—is considered saturated. These are generally considered long-chain fatty
acids and because of their more complete, or “full,” bonding they become
harder and have a higher melting point. In other words, the more saturated a
fat is, the more it stays hard at room temperature. Unsaturated fats, on the
other hand, have less hydrogen bonding. When two or more adjacent carbon
atoms are free of hydrogen bonding they are considered monounsaturated
fatty acids. When two or more pairs or “sets” of carbon atoms within the
chain are unbonded to hydrogen, we call these polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Three of the most common fatty acid chains found in human tissues are
oleic acid (C
18
H
34
0
2
),
stearic acid (C
18
H
36
0
2
), and palmitic acid (C
16
H
32
0
2
).
These three fatty acids when combined with glycerol form the three basic fats
found in our foods, and are called triolein, tristearin and tripalmitin.

ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS

The fatty acids that are essential to your body, but not naturally synthesized
within the body, must therefore be obtained from your diet. These are known
as essential fatty acids, and there are three basic ones: linoleic acid, linolenic
acid and arachidonic acid. Linoleic acid is the most vital of the three as it can
be converted into linolenic and arachidonic acids. In my opinion, humanity
(through the medium of science) is in its infancy in understanding the true
needs of our homo sapien bodies. Types of essential fatty acids include:
LINOLEIC ACID
—Promotes healthy skin and hair and is the main essentialfatty acid.
LINOLENIC ACID
 — Promotes nerve and brain function.
ARACHIDONIC ACID
 — Promotes formation of prostaglandins,
thromboxanes, prostacylins and leukotrienes.
The Role of Essential Fatty Acids
Used in the production of cholesterol, an anti-inflammatory lipid used to
make steroids and phospholipids. Cholesterol is involved in the synthesis
of vitamin D.
Used to produce phospholipids, which are used in cell membrane walls.
Involved in the production of prostaglandins, which serve as anti-
inflammatories and are involved in proper blood clotting. They increase
immune response and function, especially of T-lymphocytes.
Inhibits thromboxane, which is involved in platelet agitation.
Promote healing.
Strengthen nerve tissues and nerve response.
Involved in the manufacture of hemoglobin. Thus involved indirectly in
oxygen transport and the increase of oxygenation to tissues.
Assist cell wall permeability.
Nourish and protect the skin, essential fatty acids and the utilization of
vitamins A and E which help promote skin and hair health.
Increase the body’s ability to burn fat.
Affect regulation of the nerve response in the heart, thus affecting its
rhythm.
Involved in maintaining proper body temperature.
Used with bile salts to emulsify fats and make them ready for
hydrolyzing.
Used in the development and function of the brain.
Fats are …

C

SOURCES OF FATS

The human body receives fatty acids in two ways: from foods—dietary fats—
which are absorbed through the intestinal wall, and through the conversion of
excess amino acids (proteins and carbohydrates (sugars) into stored fats
(glycogen and triglycerides). The following
highlights two essential fatty
acids (oils in liquid form) found in nature:
OMEGA-3
 — These are “long-chained” metabolic by-products of the
metabolism of linolenic acid. These oils are found mainly in flesh foods,
especially fish oils. These oils tend to stay liquid at room temperature and are
comprised of Eicosapentaenioic Acid (EPA), and Docosahexaenoic Acid
(DHA) and Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA).
OMEGA-6
 — A plant-based form of essential fats of which Gamma-
Linolenic Acid (GLA) is the most commonly known and researched.
Vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds are nature’s sources of omega-6 fatty acids.
Top Food Sources of Omega-6 Oils
The following foods are rich in linolenic acid which metabolizes into Omega-
3 fatty acids.
FLAX SEED OIL
—Also known as linseed oil. Has been used for over
5,000 years


 be associated with UV-induced immune suppression. Strickland's studies find
that an Aloe Vera extract ameliorated some of the immunosuppressive effects of UV radiation.

Aloe Vera appeared to prevent damage to epidermal dendritic cells but it may be that Aloe exerts its
influence later in the chain of immunosuppressive events or perhaps by inhibiting the formation or release of factors such as TNFa which, amongst others, mediate the T cell immune responses.

SECTION VIII - ANTHRAQUINONES
 The anthraquinones and their derivatives, otherwise known as the phenolic fraction of the plant, are the source of most of the controversy surrounding products that contain them. Should they be present or not?
Are they harmful or not?

Barbaloin in Aloe Vera is a hydroxyanthraquinone, and the majority of evidence does not suggest that this
is toxic to man, whereas others containing different chemical sub-groups may be; if taken in large quantities over a long period of time. Even here, the evidence is not conclusive.

or-
tant—in  order  to hasten  the Expansion  of your  Light,  your
comprehension;  and  give  you  a Fuller  Power  of Accept-
ance,  in that  which  you  will  continue  to call forth  individ-
ually.
Will  you  on retiring  each  night,  remember  this  after-
noon  and  call  for its Continued  Action!  It only  takes  a DISCOURSE  XXIII  403
moment  to call for Continued  Action,  the Continuous  Ex-
pansion  of Our  Radiance  which  has  been  spread  here  this
afternoon.  Then,  you  will  by your  attention,  keep  the
Power  flowing,  to do these  things  and  bring  about  the
Completion.
In human  experience  among  so many  people,  there  has
been  the enthusiastic  desire  to start  something;  but they  do
not hold  the enthusiasm,  to go on to the finish!  Now  your
enthusiasm  and  your  gratitude  are sufficient,  to carry  you
on to the completion  of all you  require  in the Service,  which
We wish  to do for you.  So in the remembrance  of all I have
said,  will  you  be kind  enough  to give  the Full  Obedience,
in making  your  Call  and  giving  Me your  attention;  which
will keep  this in action,  until  what  is required  is completed ?
I presume  Saint  German  thinks  I am a rather  doubting
Thomas;  but when  He said  to Me at the beginning  of This
Class,  it could  be done  at the close  of the Class,  I waited
to see.  Of course,  I had  not been  giving  as much  attention
to you  as He has;  for when  you  have  watched  with  Me
—thru  the centuries,  in which  We have  watched  mankind,
you do not wonder  that  I question—not  their  desire;  but
their  ability  to give  sufficient  obedience  to do these  things.
However,  it is marvelous,  because  whenever  He has  said
something  will  be done,  I have  found  it accomplished.
I not only  congratulate  you,  but I congratulate  your  Be-
loved  Saint  Germain  for being  able  to do This;  and  He
has done  It from  the beginning.  I want  you  to realize  that
He is the Authority  for you;  and  when  in the beginning, 4 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
We questioned  the  ability  of the  Beloved  Ones  to give
Sufficient  Obedience,  He was  right  and  has  won!  I want
you to fully  appreciate  that,  and  I am sure  you  do. I want
you to fully  appreciate  the Almighty  Confidence  He has in
you;  and  you  have  not  caused  Him  to regret  one  single
effort!  Is it not Magnificent  Co-operation  with  Life?
You here  in the city  of Los  Angeles  can  have  done  for
you, a similar  thing  which  was  done  in the Quiet  of the
Great  Mountains—the  Silence  of the Great  Mountains,  and
Purity  of those  Great  Mountains  in India!  You  are having
done  for you  a similar  thing  today,  in your  city  in the outer
world.  Does  that  mean  anything  to you ? Does  it not con-
vince  you,  the Power  of Life  is actually  taking  Its Dominion
in the outer  world ?
Again  I thank  you,  I congratulate  you  with  all My Heart!
Stand  firm,  determined  and  unyielding  in your  Call  to
Light  and  to Life!  Let Its Mighty  Expansion  go on within
you—being  more  and  more  fearless  and  dauntless;  know-
ing mankind  has  no power  to limit  you;  no power  to im-
pose  discord  or pain  or distress  upon  you!
Beloved  Students,  as well  as those  who  are not students—
who  may  be continuing  their  practice  of assistance  to re-
lieve  the distress  of mankind—YOU  ARE  RESPONSIBLE
FOR  SUGGESTIONS  WHICH  YOU  OFFER!  IF YOU
ARE  AWARE  OF  SOME  CONDITION  WITHIN  A
HUMAN  BODY,  PLEASE  DO  NOT  VOICE  IT. SAY:
"WELL  HERE  IS A CONDITION  WHICH  IS A
LITTLE  OUT  OF  HARMONY."  CALL  THE  LIGHT DISCOURSE  XXIII  405
INTO  ACTION  TO  GIVE  YOU  ASSISTANCE
WHATEVER  IT  IS;  BUT  REMEMBER  A GREAT
RESPONSIBILITY  RESTS  UPON  THOSE  WHO  OF-
FER  SUGGESTIONS,  WHICH  CAN  ACT  UPON  THE
HUMAN  BODY  AND  FRIGHTEN  THE  INDIVID-
UAL;  OR  CAUSE  GREATER  DISTURBANCE  IN
THE  BODY!  Human  Beings  are so prone  to accept  human
suggestions;  especially  if it be something  concerning  their
bodies,  for mankind  is body  conscious.  I mean  by that,  In-
dividuals  give  so much  more  attention  to the body,  than  is
necessary.  A little  twitch  of a nerve  or something  and  they
get excited  and  think  something  more  distressing  is the
matter.
Don't  do that!  You  are in a position  to command  Obedi-
ence  and  Harmony  in your  physical  body!  Stand  unyield-
ing in it; determined  to have  it, and  you  will  be very  grate-
ful; because  you  will  learn  to quickly  dismiss  disturbances
in the body,  such  as pain  and  distress.  My  Dear  Ones,  do
you forget  the cause  of everything  which  acts  in your  phys-
ical body,  has to first  have  its cause  in your  feeling  world ?
Then,  don't  you  see how  powerful  and  great  is the COM-
MAND,  to act in your  feeling  world!
Suppose  there  were  an intimation  of pain  and  you  say:
"Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  silence  that  human  quality!  It

world  with  Full  Authority.  Then,  distress  cannot  Out-

cause  did not first  originate  in your  feeling  world;  because
It is the cause  of everything!  That  is why  discarnate  entities
have  caused  so much  distress  to mankind,  because  they
come  and  hover  about  the body,  touch  within  your  atmo-
sphere;  and  you  begin  to feel  in YOUR  FEELING

I think  I should  call  to your  attention  today,  so you  re-
member  it, that  no imperfection  which  the physical  body
holds,  can  enter  into  the Higher  Octaves  of Light.  If one
be insane  here,  that  one  cannot  be insane  in the Octaves  of
Light;  because  that  condition  is within  the brain  structure!
While  the cause  was  most  of the time  in the feeling  world,
still the effect,  which  Out-pictured  was  in the brain  struc-
ture of the body;  or was  an Interference  in the nerves  with
their  Balanced  Quality  of action.  Those  conditions  do not
enter  into  the Higher  Octave!
If you  have  lived  in such  a condition,  that  you  have  bound
yourself  to Earth,  the disease  or condition  with  which  you
passed  out,  would  not  actually  be in the next  octave;  but
you would  be holding

   Dr. Morgan's work with dogs was with several different vitamins. All dogs that
received no niacin and no pantothenic acid survived; grew moderately well; but the hair
turned gray and they were sedate and elderly in behavior. Giving either niacin or
pantothenic acid to these dogs, while deficient in other vitamins, resulted in a gradual
loss of neuro-muscular control and sometim es sudden death. She thinks that giving
large amounts of any one vitamin, particularly niacin, which is frequently done in
pellagra, to persons subsisting on diets having multiple deficiencies is exceedingly dangerous.    If any food is so bad that it needs to be "enriched" or "fortified" with synthetic
vitamins it is so bad it should be rejected as the artificial enrichment corrects only a part of the evil.
   Dr. Morgan states that fortification of foods with thiamin or niacin may precipitate
conditions worse than the subacute deficiency state produces; that the usual ordinary diet, while inadequate, is more nearly properly balanced. If we are to have improvement
in these deficiencies, general improvement is essential. The steps that must be taken to
correct the bad health conditions due to diet deficiencies at the present time are mainly
steps in the education, first, of the medical profession; and second, of the laity.
   That the doctors suffer equally with the lay public in deficiency diseases is quite
evident. Mortality records show that doctors die from heart and blood vessel diseases in
as great numbers as does the general population. The average doctor has as much
pyorrhea and tooth decay as the average layman. The average doctor is as often crippled
by neuritis and arthritis and has as much appendicitis, gall bladder disease, stomach
ulcer and cancer as the layman. The need for educating doctors is very great. The
reception of new ideas such as these is slow in the medical profession.
   It must be remembered that an appeal to a lay organization such as the Rotary Club, a
church group, a chamber of commerce as to a professional group such as the Bar
Association, or the county medical society for improvement along dietary lines is an
appeal to a diseased group. Following a l ecture by the author in a Midwest town, a
cartoon appeared in the newspaper of a fat, misshapen woman talking in her kitchen to
another fat, misshapen woman standing in the door. The first woman was saying to the second, "I always go to these lectures on diets; but I always come home and cook the
same things."
   An appeal to the group at the Rotary Club or woman's club or chamber of commerce
who are suffering from tooth decay, scurvy, blood vessel disease, etc., is very much like
an appeal to a group of persons who are habitu ally taking morphine or codein. They are
habitues. Their habits have weakened their physical resistance and their will. A large
proportion of these persons are physically and mentally incapable of adopting radical changes in their diets. They are urged to eat green salads and drink milk. This often
results in raucous laughter and has often cal led to the mind of the author the raucous
laughter which greeted the Vicar of Wakefield in his attempts to better the conditions of
the miserable and criminal peoples to whom he preached.
   Educational lectures addressed to the physicians might seem to meet a better
reception, as physicians are very eager to make  a better record than their competitors.
They are anxious to cure diseases in which their competitors have failed. But even with such urge in the background, the doctor looks with a cold, fishy eye on all changes in
his own dietary habits. He believes he has done  pretty well. He fails to recognize his
own deficiencies because his standards are wrong. He knows and treats marked departures from normal, but subclinical departures from normal meet no recognition as
these correspond too closely to his own and to his family's physical condition. His own
children need treatment for pyorrhea and tooth decay, St. Vitus' dance, and rheumatism.
They have diseased tonsils and only partially functioning eyes. They have rickets and constipation.    The average doctor may be looked upon as a factor standing for the status quo. He has
been taught certain therapeutic measures to use as he would use splints on a broken arm.
He has had nothing to do with the breaking of the arm. His work is only to fix the arm after it is broken. He pays little attention to the prevention of deficiency disease. He
only thinks of doing something about the coro nary diseases, the cancer, the ulcer, or the
mouth disease after it has occurred.
   The editorial policy of the leading medical journals has been to play down everything
connected with vitamin deficiencies for fear that vitamins will get too much in the
hands of the laity. In spite of their attitude, this has occurred. The layman has
recognized that there is something valuable to be had along this line, and in a dumb, muddling way he has reached for it. Around half a billion dollars is spent in the United
States every year for vitamin preparations This is mostly on a nonintelligent basis. But
these remedies have undoubtedly helped in some small way, but not in a way that could
be achieved if the remedies were intelligently used.
   This applies to vitamins bought over the counter, and also to vitamins prescribed by
physicians. The physician has been educated mostly by salesmen who represent
commercial houses. The salesman gauges his instruction by the profits to be made in the
particular product he may be selling. Since the medical colleges pay little attention to this subject except in an adverse way, and the editorial policy of the medical journals is to consider it a minor part of medical practice, the field is left open for the physician to
be educated and exploited by the clever salesman.
   The hope for improvement along the lines of education is, then, a hope for something
to be done after many years of long, painful effort. If we are to receive the necessary
help and receive it in the shortest possible time, changes will have to be made by
legislation. The feeble and bungling attempt made along this line in connection with
white flour and bread, and the eagerness with which millers and bakers came into line,
after years of stoutly claiming that their flour and bread were right and perfect as they were, shows that legislative or other authority coming from a sufficiently high source
may change everything in a few weeks or months in connection with food products.
   We shall probably never be able to educate the population of the United States to the
value of health-producing foods, but by law or decree we may banish the deficiency
foods and substitute optimum foods in a few we eks' time. One of the obstructions in the
past to a proper information of the public has been the commercial interests at stake.
These commercial interests have been able to influence research favorable to them in some universities. They have been able to influence some eminent physicians and some
editors of medical journals to acclaim the merit of their goods both in lectures and in
public prints. They have been able to keep their deficiency products in the stores and on the kitchen shelves by plausible speeches on the radio and in the common widely read
magazines.
   The foods which have carried the greatest th reat against the health of the state and the
individual are sugar, white flour, and canned goods. The sugar is a concentrated
carbohydrate containing no vitamin or mineral of  any kind. Every ounce of sugar that is
taken into the human economy reduces the ability to resist infection, as it furnishes only
calories and none of the elements which protect against infections. The importation and
manufacture of sugar should be prohibited as the drug heroin is prohibited.    All this is true for white flour, as it is nearly pure carbohydrate. White flour does
contain, however, around 7 per cent protein. This makes it a somewhat better food than
sugar. But neither the protein nor the carbohydrate in white flour contains any appreciable amount of minerals or vitamins. By legislative enactment both sugar and
white flour should be banished from the American diet. As a substitute for sugar, honey
may be used. Honey contains all of the ordinary food minerals and valuable enzymes. It
is not probable that anyone will overeat on honey, as the appetite for sweets is very quickly satisfied after a fraction of an ounce has been taken.
   The only proper replacement for white flour  is whole-wheat flour. The same principle
holds true in connection with other grains--rye,  rice, corn, etc. Any grain flour should be
consumed only as whole-grain flour. Any attempt to separate and discard either the
germ or the bran or both removes valuable minerals and vitamins. As whole-wheat flour
does not keep, the milling should be done by the baker. The law in regard to milling and
baking should provide that none but whole-grain flour be used and the wholegrain flour
used in any bakery in any day should be ground by suitable mills in that same bakery on the morning of the same day in which the baking takes place. The procedure should be
to provide clean wheat or other grain early in the morning; putting this grain through the
mill; taking the fresh flour and making it into bread or other bakery goods immediately following the milling. For home use the fresh flour could be delivered daily as milk is
distributed. In England at the present time the milling of white flour is prohibited. They tried the addition of synth

.  The more I give my body the space and time to heal, the more it will simply do what needs to be done.  Every time I release another worm, I am that much stronger.  Each day my body is gaining back it’s power.  Last night I counted how many inches of worms have been released so far and the total was about 183 inches, or 15+ feet of worms.  I cannot even imagine how I was alive with all that vile ﬁlth inside of me.  It’s revolting.  I just have to stay focused and get these last few buggers out.  Personal Story - 40-Day Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!93I cannot wait to have a pure and perfect temple to enjoy life after this fast!Day 37It’s really shocking and unbelievable, even to me, to still see worms being released after 37 days of water fasting!  Today I had 3 small worms that I could see, and man...they are really making a ruckus inside before they leave.  Last night I was up until 4am again...it seems that every night I am up late, I have worms released the next day.  I simply can’t sleep, sometimes from the twitching, sometimes from the waves of heat, sometimes from slight nausea and sometimes just from an overall sense of that internal ‘battle’ feeling.Certainly, you need to be mentally strong in order to endure this type of experience.Today is the full moon and both my neighbor and I can feel it.  We know the worms are most active on this day, and they are for sure making that known.  My neighbor felt awful today, with waves of heat, acid reﬂux, nausea and extreme fatigue.  She is really struggling with these side effects, yet knows that they are all signs and symptoms of the worms stirring themselves up.  I’ve been feeling generally weak, tired and lethargic.  It’s always hard for me to slow down because I always have so much work that I want to do.  Today I turned off the phone and decided not to answer any emails.  It’s a day just for me and my healing.  It was a day to rest.Personal Story - 40-Day Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!94Day 38Well, I should not have been surprised to see another 4 worms released today.  With the strong reactions I’ve been experiencing in the last few days, I should certainly expect to see some worms come out.  I’m just really hoping that these are the last few buggers who have been trying to hold on for dear life, and now their time has also come to exit the premises.As soon as I ﬁnished my enema today, I felt more heat and a bit of nausea, so I rested for a few minutes, and was disappointed to almost immediately feel some twitching start again, mainly in my legs.  Grrr.  How many more could there possibly be? And why aren’t they coming out more quickly now after 38 days of no food?I’ve pretty much decided to go to 42 days at this point, just to try to get as much out as I possibly can in these last few days.  42 days will be exactly 6 weeks of fasting, and I have heard and read of others doing 42 or even 44 days before, so I feel safe and comfortable to continue an extra 2 days.  After that, I will really have no choice but to start having some juices. Admittedly I am worried that I may not get all of the worms and I hate to think that I am stopping when they are still being released.  It’s a tough decision, but at this stage my plan is to just drink green juices (cucumber, greens, tomato) with some onion, garlic and ginger in an effort to continue to kill the worms but also give my body some nutrition. I can still do one enema daily for a few days and just see what happens. I am also learning as I go.Personal Story - 40-Day Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!95Day 39So close to the end, and yet I feel that this cleanse is somehow not complete.  Today I passed another worm.  Once again, I have mixed feelings because on one hand I am happy they are coming out, but on the other, I feel completely frustrated that at Day 39, they are still coming out!Admittedly I did feel better energy-wise today. My ear doesn’t seem to be popping anymore and I didn’t have any ‘waves’ of heat, but tonight the twitching in my legs started again.  I did some research last night about parasites in the central nervous system, and it appears that this can be quite a common symptom.  Many people even have full epileptic attacks.15  At least it is reassuring to know that I am not going crazy and that there is actually a real, physical reason to why I have been experiencing these symptoms.My neighbor decided to break her fast today, which I believe is Day 23 for her.  She’s done an amazing job for her ﬁrst-ever water fast, especially considering how many worms she had released and all of the cleansing reactions she experienced.  I think she was just exhausted and felt like she had had enough.  I do think it’s important to listen to your body and your intuition when fasting, and never allow your ego to force you into a number.  Luckily for me, the end is also near. It seems like a lifetime ago that I started this fast. I just hope that I don’t have any live worms in me still.  All it takes is one to start laying 200,000 eggs per day and you can be right back where you started before you know it.  I guess I just have to believe in my Personal Story - 40-Day Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!9615 http://www.tropmed.org/primer/chapter11-2.pdffollow-up program and be strict to continue with it every 3 months for the next year.  Of course, I should keep in mind that at least compared to where I was 5+ weeks ago, my body is stronger, cleaner and more prepared to ﬁght off invaders.Today I was thinking a lot about garlic, onions and ginger and I recalled a story in Dr. Richard Anderson’s Cleanse and Purify Thyself Book where he ate nothing but raw onions and garlic for 3 days to try to rid his body of worms.  I started to wonder if I should start right into that on Day 41 as a ﬁnal push to get any lingering worms out.  So I went to the market and I bought all of the ingredients to have on hand.I took one whole white onion and blended it using a mini-food processor. Then I added 5 cloves of garlic and equal amounts of fresh ginger.  (Fresh ginger is particularly effective against the ascaris worm).  I blended everything together into a raw soup. Wow!  It was the best thing I ever smelled in my whole life!!!  Truly magniﬁcent.  I wanted to eat it immediately - it seemed so appealing to me.  I knew after I made it that this is deﬁnitely what I should have for a few days. I may blend in a few cucumbers or I may eat it as is; I haven’t fully decided yet.Anyway I poured all of the content in a glass pitcher and added water to let it soak for several hours. I was planning to strain the mixture and drink the water this evening, but somehow I did not feel right about taking something so potent when I am still technically fasting, so in the end I just left it.  It was a good experiment because honestly I never thought that something like that would smell so delicious and appealing, and perhaps I would not have known to break my fast with it had I not made a trial batch.Personal Story - 40-Day Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!97If I eat that for a few days with some pureed cucumbers and continue to do one enema a day, I may just fumigate the last tenants out and still ﬁnish with the pure and perfect temple I’ve been dreaming of.Day 40Sometimes you never think the end will come, and then all of a sudden, it’s there.  That is how I felt today.  It’s really hard to imagine that I have had only water for 40 days now, and that I actually achieved this magniﬁcent goal.  If I wasn’t so tired, I would probably feel even more proud of myself!I did not have any worms released today; however I still have the twitching in my legs, some waves of heat and the occasional bout of nausea which all tell me that there are still some worms there. Of course I feel sad to stop the fast knowing this, but I know that eating some food now will be good for me and I know it’s time to bring in some nutrition for strength.I am still planning to eat the puree of onion, garlic, ginger and cucumber for a few days.  I do think it is absolutely essential to have a solid plan for what to eat before you break the fast.  Otherwise, it can just become so easy to start eating everything in sight. The mental strength post-fast is just as important as the mental strength during a fast.Today I had a few clients and although I enjoyed the sessions very much, it really drained my energy. In between, I felt exhausted and completely wasted.  It was difﬁcult to get through the day. I was very relieved when I �


van der Kroon  CANCER IN BLOOD (LEUKEMIA)  Edelmira Maniquez { Michoacan Mexico } "My name is Edelmira Manriquez. I live Santoyo and in the street Cuautla, Juarez Colony in Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico. My telephone is-------. I want to make public my 32 testimony. My Celestial Father again gave the opportunity for me to live. I am a Leucemia patient (Cancer in the Blood). In March of 1999 the last of the my three children" Lucia" I gave her birth. I noticed that a muscle grew of considerable form in my abdomen. I returned to the doctor. He began to examine and between analysis, ultrasounds, x-rays, studies of bone marrow and others; they finished diagnosing " LEUKEMIA" to me. According to the doctor, my problem took but of a year. As it is logical, the tears came and other thousand questions.  I initiated fasting and I dealt to face my disease with vengeance. That disease was mine and it would be with me all the way that I had left of life. One night I woke up contents. I deduced that during my dream my Celestial Father close remembered that he was part of me. I put myself in his hands and I entrusted much to my family above. That night I found half of my strength and other half I obtained it when I finished reading the book of Urine Chemistry by Sonia Rodriguez. Two friends of mine also read her book.   After reading the book, the 19 of September of 1999, at 9 in the morning, I did the first taking of my Urine promising to my Celestial Father that I will take it by everything what I had left of life. I also chose to leave all medicines. I did not doubt at any moment, what I had to do. I mean to them that my hemoglobin was very low (6 mg/ml) and that the number of 270.000 leukocytes was above of pox milliliter (normal level: 5.000 to 10.000 leukocytes by milliliter.) In addition I received very high doses of oral chemotherapy and other medicines like the interferon and many others. At the moment my leukocytes are normal and I am alive happy with my family. Everything was a slow process relatively (5 months), during which little by little I was feeling better. Every time with force my appetite and desires to live grew.  Urine is the first wonder of the world. Like medicine for the health it is a gift that God the Father donated to us because he does not want disease with us. He wants always to be happy.

Soon after I was diagnosed, I was hospitalized because my lung had filled with fluid and collapsed. I was in a desperate struggle to stop the production of the fluid, in addition to which I was terribly constipated and uncomfortable.  Then I came across information on this particular natural therapy. As soon as I had ingested the [fluid] it was miraculous. My bowels immediately began to move again. The relief was incredible and the fluid production in my lung also subsequently soon died down to the doctors' amazement. They had no recourse but to remove my chest tube. They wanted me to consider chemotherapy, radiation or surgery but I refused and signed myself out of the hospital.  Needless to say I am still here after two years even though my parents were informed I had only four months to live after the diagnosis. I had used a number of holistic approaches (colonies, herbs, etc.) but to be perfectly honest I know it was the internal and external use of [this fluid] which has saved my life."  — Mr. R., New York, Your Own Perfect Medicine by Martha M.

Patel 35  CANCER OF LIVER  "Friends. Had I not stumbled upon U. T. eleven years before, my family members and friends would have been mourning my 11th death anniversary!  In the year 1984 when I was 42 years old the doctors of the prestigious Tata Memorial Hospital, Bombay diagnosed that I was suffering from liver cancer of last stage. Prior to getting admitted in Tata Hospital I was treated by several well known Allopaths, Homeopaths and even Ayurvedic physicians for several months, but my health went on deteriorating day by day as I couldn't eat any thing; as a result of which my body was reduced to a mere skeleton weighing 40 kg. against my original weight of 62 kg. Doctors of Tata Hospital had advised me to go for Chemotherapy and thereafter Radiation therapy as a last resort. I shuddered at the very thought of those dangerous treatments as I had seen with my own eyes the miserable and painful conditions of my few relatives and friends who had undergone those horrible treatments. I prayed God to save·m.e from this dangerous predicament.  And, as if God heard my prayer and sent his messenger in the form of one Mr. Nanubhai Chitalia whose incredible recovery story of terminal liver cancer had been published by numerous news-papers and magazines. He had miraculously recovered from liver cancer by U. T. and had healthily survived for more than ten years against the physicians' prognosis of few days!  He came to meet me in Tata Hospital to inspire and guide me to do U. T. instead of opting for harmful dangerous treatments. I gathered courage and: took voluntary discharge from Tata Hospital against medical advice and doctors' warning that I won't survive for more than ten days if I didn't undergo. the proposed treatment.   Being a book-seller by profession I had read few books on U. T. but I had never thought of practising it. I made up my mind to follow U. T. as a last resort. I started drinking 1 1/2 to 2 glasses of Shivambu in the morning and within few days my mouth ulcers were cured and


 we all have a one -track mind. We keep thinking about w hat we’re thinking
about —going to all the same places over and over. As you would know if you rode an actual
train through its entire route, this gets you nowhere. You wind up right back where you
started.
Soooo... to change all that, you have to be fas t enough to slow down.
You have to be quick enough to stop your mind from racing on, and slow your process of
particularization, dropping your vibe to the level of your soul -frequency. Your soul’s
oscillation is so slow that you cannot see it.
Now I know t hat this is the exact reverse of everything you’ve ever learned, everything
you’ve ever been told. You’ve been told to “raise your vibration,” and that enlightenment is
about “consciousness -raising.” Actually, it’s just the opposite. It’s about lowering yo ur
vibration. It’s about slowing down to the frequency rate of the Invisible. It’s about getting
closer to the Primal Sound. That is why monks and some others who meditate often sit
together and chant the sound of Om in a deep, rich tone. It is about slowi ng down the vibe.
It is about being out of your mind.
The place of your body in all of this? It is, as I said, simply and only an instrument. The
question is, are you using it as an instrument of the mind or an instrument of the soul? And
what I am saying here is that, at best, it should be an instrument of both.
I don’t want to paint the mind as the enemy here. It is not. Most decidedly, it is a miracle
machine. Yet we must let the mind do what the mind was designed to do, and the soul do
what the soul was  created to do. We must remember that we are tri -part beings, and that
the body —also a “miracle machine” —is nevertheless the least of the three. It is a device,
there to do our bidding.
Do not, therefore, get caught up in things of the body. Take care of t he body, for sure —
just as you would take care of your car or your home or any other valuable possession. Yet
do not confuse yourself about Who You Are.
You are not the body. You are not the mind. You are not even the soul. You are all
three —and more. You a re the Spirit that forms  all three. You are The Energy. You are The
Essence.
Please do not regret
all those moments that have brought you
Here.
If you are reading this,
then your perseverance has been answered,
and a Grace is coming.
So for now, hold on lo osely to where you are.
And like knots on a rope that mark your reaching,
hand over hand
you will continue to climb — sometimes through ecstasy,
sometimes through white agony,

LIFE’S WONDER
I HAVE KNOWN MANY  people who never really think about life. “I’m too busy,” they tell me.
“I’ll leave that to writers and poets.”
For this reason many people find themselves living in a world where stuff is going on
that no one seems to want to have going on. How it is pos sible for six billion people to want
the same thing and not be able to get it? they ask. What kind of a world is this? they want to
know. Or, in the words of that heart -sinking song by Peggy Lee from so many years ago, “Is
that all there is?” If that’s all  there is... somebody send in the clowns, because this has got
to be a circus.
But it’s not a circus, it’s a beautifully orchestrated symphony, with God as the conductor
and all of us as the musicians. All we have to do to make beautiful music together is know
the score.
When we see life as it really is, it all suddenly makes sense. Then the changes that are
occurring are seen as gifts and not burdens. And then future changes will be
demonstrations of creation, not tests of endurance.
Life is a process. It is not something that is “just happening,” it is something that is
happening on purpose. There is something that life is designed to do. What is the outcome
that life is trying to produce?
That is the question of the hour. Indeed, of the century. The an swer can be offered at two
levels...
UNIVERSALLY: Life is the process by which God expresses  God, experiences  God, and
expands  God.
INDIVIDUALLY: Life is intended to produce for you a direct experience of who you really
are—and then, an opportunity to g o to the next level in your expression of that.
Put simply, the purpose of life is to know life and to express more life through the
process of life itself, manifested through all the individuations of life —in this particular
case: You.
Life meets its purp ose through the process called  Change.
That is, Life (God) is always changing in order to always be creating and recreating Itself
anew, in a way that expands Itself.
Many people in the world think that God (as opposed to humans) causes Change, in the
sens e that God causes everything. Ah, but does God? Is there even a God at all (in the sense
of a Supreme Being existing apart and separate from us) who would or could do that? And
if there is, why would God cause one Change and not another? Why would God do “ this”
and not “that,” favor this person or project and not that one? What are God’s criteria?  Yes, there are those who believe that God is pulling the levers, for reasons known only to
Him and, presumably, those who follow the One True Religion (whatever religion that
might be in any particular case).
So what is true about all this? Is “God” pulling the levers? Or is life a process that runs all
by itself?
The answer is no to both questions. “God” (as that separate, Supreme Being) is not
pulling the levers... and... life is not a process that runs all by itself.
Life’s wonder is that it is a process in which you, as a sentient being filled with the
consciousness of self -awareness, have the opportunity to create your own experience and
your o wn reality, to know yourself as you appear to be, to express yourself as you came to
be, and finally, to recreate yourself as you wish to be in the next grandest version of
yourself. Life’s wonder is that the whole human race, jointly, has the same opportu nity! We
are, daily, co -creating our collective reality.
Life’s wonder is that it is a glorious adventure and a sweet, sweet journey, and I know
and understand that it does not appear to be that way for many, many people. Indeed, it is
when I see the suffe ring of others that I am the most tempted to give up my idea about life’s
wonder, about this being a friendly universe, and about God being a friendly God.
We talked about this earlier, and I have been given answers to this riddle often. Yet there
are stil l times when my mind is perplexed and my heart is heavy and only my soul is at
peace in the midst of all of the travail that I witness being visited upon the lives of others, if
not in my own life.
Why the travail?  I ask, even though I have been given the answer. Why the tragedies?  I
cry.
And the One Soul replies...
Once again, my sweet, caring, compassionate one, you do not and cannot know
of the “soul assignment” which has been given to —and accepted by —another
blessed Individuation of God. Yet can you not believe Me when I tell you that no
Aspect of Divinity can be, at the soul level, victimized or damaged in any way? I
know that at the human level, hurt and victimization exist. Yet I tell you this:
outward manifestation is part of the inward journey of  all entities and cannot be
fully explained or understood in human terms because of the limitations of the
current human perspective. Yet this perspective can shift. And it will. All the human
race needs is one more Shifter here and there, one more person committed to the
Change that will Change Everything.
The One Soul then inspired me to write this:
Let me see if I can give you a speck of an insight into a much higher and far more
complex truth than what you may have previously considered. Have you ever d one
something for yourself or for another or for a cause that looked like it hurt or
damaged you in some way —but you did it anyway, for the larger good?  I thought about that for a while. I remembered things I have done for myself that “looked
like” they hu rt or damaged me, but that really, in

The diagnostic evaluation tools developed by the Unscientific Scientific Community — that is,
Biopsy, Scans, Blood Tests, X-rays, etc. are so crude it is unbelievable. By the time these crude
procedures are used, it is most often too late for any effective therapeutic procedure. Remember
the Medical Communities never, ever, address CANCER, only Malignant Tumor Masses.
Researchers of the College of Metabolic Medicine developed a simple, effective and
inexpensive Self-Examination Procedure for pancreatic failure in the mid-1960's. The
Establishment for obvious reasons has suppressed this Self-Examination Procedure. This Pancreas
Self-Examination Procedure should be used once a year to alert one to possible pancreatic
failure. This simple Self-Examination could put the National Cancer Institute and the American
Cancer Society out of business within a few months.
All persons who have Cancer will die from starvation if they are not killed before, — usually
by their physician.
May our Father God Almighty extend His loving kindness, protection and blessings to you in all
ways — always!

The Choice: Eat To Live - Or - Live To Eat!
All non-organic grains, are "DUSTED" and stored with anti-mold, anti

Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Diet
About the year 424 BC, Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, made the
statement, "Your food shall be your medicine and your medicine shall be your food."
Try as we may, we have not been able to improve upon this basic truth. This is
particularly true when it comes to the successful treatment of the cancer patient. At
least 86% of all cancer conditions could be adequately treated and/or prevented by
diet alone.
It never ceases to amaze me at the number of learned as well as ignorant persons
who scoff when diet is mentioned. They all seem to believe that no matter what is
placed into the body, by some magical process, it makes for perfect health. Yet these
same people are very fastidious and concerned about what, how and how much food
is fed to their pedigreed dogs and cats and their registered cattle and horses. It is
ironic that they cannot see that their own health is equally dependent upon a proper
balanced nutritional process.

Objective
We must not use our dietary intake of foods as medications to establish and
provide therapeutic treatment of disease. We can and must use our food as source of
raw materials the body can use in its most complete and competent health-building
laboratory. We cannot comprehend the trillions of biological procedures that must be
accomplished every second of our lives. Your body is much more profound and
intelligent than all the doctors and professors of medicine in all the universities of our
civilization. Smart doctors run away as fast as possible when you ask your first dietary
question, "what can I  eat doctor?" The ignorant and stupid ones of the medical
community are constantly dreaming up "fad diets" that flourish for a season but are
always soon replaced by a new fad diet.
GOLDEN RULES OF DIETARY FOOD INTAKE
A. Use small amounts of a variety of natural unprocessed organic foods:
1. Use two eggs daily.
2. Use heavy cream and pure butter freely.
3. Use foods that are unprocessed.
4. Rotate meats (after first six months on your program)
a) Day one -  three ounces of beef liver raw blended with fresh vegetable
juice;
b) Day two -  three ounces of steamed or roasted chicken;
c) Day three -  three ounces of fish; etc.
B. Use natural whole foods your body craves.

DIETARY RECOMMENDATIONS
Kelley Almond Diet
From the first printing of this book in 1967 we have called our diet the "Kelley
Almond Diet" because the principal protein is almond and vegetable protein.
Raw almonds are a very good source of protein and may be used as directed: 10
almonds at breakfast and 10 almonds at lunch.
A mixture of raw almonds, cashews, pecans, filberts, Brazil nuts, walnuts,
sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds is recommended to supplement
protein during the first six months when meat proteins are severely restricted. These
should be eaten any time up to 1:00 p.m.
Cashew nuts are desirable, especially if the patient is also suffering from
hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
Nuts, seeds, and grains should be stored in closed containers in a very cool
location. Refrigeration is best if one has the space.
Some enzyme researchers do not recommend the use of raw seeds or nuts,
claiming that the enzyme inhibitors in the seeds or nuts make proper digestion
difficult. This is true in one sense — if raw nuts and seeds were swallowed whole
without masticating them, a person couldn't digest them properly. But if nuts and
seeds are chewed well or soaked overnight distilled or filtered water, the activity of
enzyme inhibitors is greatly reduced or nullified.
Should you have difficulty chewing whole raw almonds, you may substitute two
tablespoons of pure raw almond or sesame seed butter.
Phase I
Protein
We have maintained throughout this treatise that cancer is nothing more than a
pancreatic enzyme deficiency. The greatest cause of this deficiency is the amount of
cooked protein (mutated amino acids) fed into the body. The pancreas simply cannot
manufacture enough enzymes to digest the large volumes of pasteurized milk and
cheese and cooked meat we eat and have any enzymes left over to digest the foreign
protein we know as cancer. If people would not eat protein (animal) after 1:00 p.m.,
62
Winning The Cancer War
(or eat the animal proteins within a 4-6 hour period) 86% of cancer in the United
States could be eliminated.
However, a cancer patient should never give up all protein, as they might be
tempted to do when they first learn that too much protein in the diet prevents the
pancreas from ridding the body of cancer. The pancreatic enzymes themselves
consist of protein (amino acids), and unless the body is fed adequate protein, the
pancreatic enzyme production w ill stop and the cancer tissue will make a very rapid
growth. The total withdrawal from protein has been the fallacy of many cancer diets,
such as the "Grape Cure." This is also the reason these diets have worked so well for
the first few months — no protein — thus freeing the pancreatic enzymes to digest the
cancer. Yet, over prolonged periods of total abstinence from protein, the pancreas
fails. Proper balance and regulated intake is the answer.
Protein Timing
It is not only imperative that the correct kind and quantity of protein be eaten, but
of equal importance, it must be taken at a specific time. We have found that regular
proteins should be taken at breakfast and lunch only. When this is strictly observed
the pancreatic enzymes, used in digestion of protein, are used only about 6 hours.
This leaves 18 hours for production of pancreatic enzymes to digest cancer tissue.
If the average cancer patient is carefully observed, it w ill be noted that they start
the day with protein — a glass of milk, ham and/or bacon and eggs, or milk with
cereal. By mid-morning they are ravenous and have a candy bar, peanuts, doughnuts
or sweet rolls with a soft drink or coffee. For lunch they normally have a roast beef
sandwich, or chicken fried in "trans-fatty acid" vegetable oil, or a hamburger. By mid
afternoon they are again hungry and have been attacked by low blood sugar, so they
perk themselves up with coffee or a soft drink. Dinner consists of a charbroiled steak,
or a piece of roast beef or other cooked meat with white flour gravy and cooked-to-
death vegetables. For dessert there is ice cream or pie a la mode with another glass of
milk. It is impossible for the pancreas to produce enough enzymes under these
conditions.
Eggs
Eggs are an unusually good source of protein, well balanced and the standard by
which all protein is evaluated. They have all the essential amino acids in proper
proportions. The cancer patient may have two eggs (preferably raw) each day at
anytime.
Proper preparation of eggs is of vital importance. The eggs must be heated in the
63
Winning The Cancer War
shell. We bring our eggs to a temperature of 140° F. to 160° F. (which is the normal
temperature of hot tap water), for five minutes before cracking them. This destroys an
enzyme just inside the membrane under the shell that prevents the biotin in the egg
from functioning normally. When biotin functions properly, it greatly reduces the
cholesterol risks of eating eggs.
After preheating before cracking them, the eggs may then be eaten, as you prefer
them. Raw and soft-boiled eggs are the most preferable


 just my nature.” This attitude
reinforces your inertia and, more important, it helps you to
hang onto the absurd notion that you shouldn’t do anything
if you don’t do it really well. Thus, unless you’re the world
champion, avoidance is better than doing.
3. I’m shy, reserved, temperamental, nervous, afraid, etc.
The call is to genetics for these I’ms. Rather than challenging
them and the self-destructive thinking which supports them,
you simply accept them as a confirmation of the way you’ve
always been. Also, you can blame your parents, and use them
as the reason for your current I’m. You make them the cause
and don’t have to work at being different. You choose this
behavior as a way to avoid being assertive in situations which
have always been troublesome for you. This is a leftover I’m
from a childhood in which others had an inherent interest in
having you believe that you were incapable of thinking for
yourself. These are the personality I’ms. These self-definitions
help you to avoid the tough business of being different from
what you’ve always been. You simply define your personality
with a convenient I’m and you can now excuse all kinds of
self-forfeiting behav-80 / Your Erroneous Zonesiors as out of your control. You negate the notion that you
can choose your own personality, and rely instead on your
genetic misfortune to explain away all of those personality
traits that you would like to disown.
4. I’m clumsy, uncoordinated, etc.
These I’ms that you learned as a child enable you to avoid
potential ridicule that might come your way because you
aren’t as physically skilled as others. Of course, your lack of
skill comes from a history of believing those I’ms and hence
avoiding physical activity, rather than from some inherent
defect. You get good at what you practice, not what you shun.
Keep your I’m and stay on the sidelines watching and wish-
ing, but pretending that you really don’t like that sort of
thing.
5. I’m unattractive, ugly, big-boned, plain, too tall, etc.
These physiological I’ms are helpful in keeping you from
taking risks with the opposite sex, and in justifying the poor
self-image and lack of love you’ve chosen for yourself. As
long as you describe yourself in this fashion, you have a
ready-made excuse for not putting yourself on the line in a
love relationship. And you don’t have to work at looking
attractive to yourself, as well. You use your mirror as justific-
ation for not taking a chance. There’s only one problem: we
see exactly what we choose to—even in mirrors.
6. I’m unorganized, meticulous, sloppy, etc.
These behavioral I’ms are convenient for manipulating others
and in justifying why things have to be done a certain way.
I’ve always done it that way. As if tradition were a reason to
do anything. And I’ll always do it that way is the unstated
message. By relying upon the way you’ve always done it,
you don’t ever have to entertain the risky notion of doing it
differently, and you can simultaneously ensure that everyone
around you will do it your way as well. This is the I’m that
calls upon “policy” as a substitute for thinking.BREAKING FREE FROM THE PAST  / 817. I’m forgetful, careless, irresponsible, apathetic, etc.
These kinds of I’ms are especially useful to you when you
want to vindicate yourself for some ineffective behavior. The
I’m keeps you from ever going to work on your memory, or
your carelessness, and you simply excuse yourself with your
neat little, “That’s me.” As long as you can haul out this I’m
when you behave in any of the ways described above, you
will never have to work at changing. Just go on forgetting
and reminding yourself that you can’t really help it, and
you’ll always be forgetful.
8. I’m Italian, German, Jewish, Irish, Black, Chinese, etc.
These are your ethnic I’ms, and they work very well when
you run out of other reasons to explain some behaviors that
you have, which don’t work for you, but are just too damned
difficult to tackle. Whenever you find yourself behaving in
stereotypical ways associated with your subculture, you
simply trot out your ethnic I’m as a justification. I once asked
a maître d’ why he seemed so excitable and reacted to the
slightest problem with outrageous outbursts. He responded,
“What do you expect from me? I’m Italian. I can’t help it.”
9. I’m bossy, pushy, authoritarian, etc.
Here your I’m can allow you to continue hostile acts, rather
than work at developing self-discipline. You varnish the be-
havior with “I can’t help it, I’ve always been that way.”
10. I’m old, middle-aged, tired, etc.
With this I’m you can use your age as a reason for not parti-
cipating in what might be risky or threatening activities.
Whenever you find yourself faced with an activity such as a
sports event, dating after a divorce or the death of a spouse,
traveling, or the like you can just say “I’m too old” and you
will have eliminated any attendant risks that go with trying
something new and growth-producing. The implication of
an “age-I’m” is that you are absolutely finished in82 / Your Erroneous Zonesthis area, and since you will always get older, you are finished
growing and experiencing anything new.
The “I’m” Circle
The rewards for hanging onto your past by trotting out your I’ms
can be neatly summed up in the one word: avoidance. Whenever
you want to dodge a certain kind of activity or to gloss over a per-
sonality defect, you can always justify yourself with an I’m. In fact,
after you use these labels enough, you begin to believe them yourself,
and at that present moment you are a finished product destined to
remain as you are for the rest of your days. Labels enable you to
avoid the hard work and the risk of trying to change. They perpetu-
ate the behavior which has given rise to them. Thus, if a young man
goes to a party with the belief that he is shy, he will behave as if he
is shy and his behavior will further support his self-image. It’s a vi-
cious circle.
There you have it. Rather than intervening between point 3 and
4 on the circle, he simply exonerates his behavior with an I’m, and
the attendant risk-taking that is necessary to get out of his trap is
adroitly avoided. There may be many reasons for theBREAKING FREE FROM THE PAST  / 83young man’s shyness, some of which probably go back to his
childhood. Whatever the reasons for his fear he has decided not to
go to work on his social-wariness, but to explain it away with a
simple I’m. His fear of failing is strong enough to prevent him from
trying. Were he to believe in the present moment and his ability to
make a choice, his sentence would change from, “I’m shy,” to “Up
until now, I’ve behaved in a shy manner.”
The vicious circle of shyness can be applied to virtually all I’ms
that are self-diminishing. Consider the circle of a student who be-
lieves he’s poor in math as he tackles his algebra homework.
Rather than stop between 3 and 4, and put in the extra time, con-
sult a tutor, or struggle with it he simply stops. When asked why he
flunked algebra class, he’ll say “I’ve always been lousy in mathem-
atics.” Those infernal I’ms are the things that you call upon to exon-
erate yourself and to explain to others why you persist in a self-de-
feating pattern.
You can look at your own circle of neurotic logic and begin to
challenge any aspect of your life in which you’ve chosen to be a
finished product. The number one payoff for hanging onto your
past and resting on your I’ms is avoidance of change. Every time
you use an I’m to explain a behavior that you don’t84 / Your Erroneous Zoneslike, think of yourself in that gaily decorated box, all wrapped up
as a finished package.
Certainly it is easier to describe yourself than to change. Perhaps
you ascribe the reasons for your labels to your parents, or to other
significant adults in your childhood such as your teachers, neighbors,
grandparents and the like. By giving them responsibility for your
present-day I’m you’ve given them a measure of control over your
life today, elevated them to a higher position than you and ingeni-
ously created an alibi for staying in your ineffective condition. A
neat little payoff indeed, and one that provides you with a warranty
against any risk-taking. If it’s the “culture’s” fault that you have this
I’m, you can’t do anything about it.
Some Strategies for Freeing Yourself from the Past and Eliminating
Your Vexing I’ms
Leaving the past behind involves taking risks. You have become
accustomed to your self-definitions. In many cases they function as
a support system in your daily life. Some specific strategies for

CHAPTER XIX
'INTERNAL INJURIES.
There is a big trvst for the propagation of naturopathic treatment
at Malad (Bomba¥J and a hospital of naturopathy is run by it. Dr.
Krishna Verma, an expert nature-curist treats the patients here for the
l·ast 40 years. Dr. Verma has written about some successful cases of
~ment witb. u:n1-oe. Her,e is tJ1,e summaliy :

method given in the book. The results were satisfa..;cory. As. a
pl!tysidaA, I was benefi,tednby my own experience also. Here is the
story of the case of tt:le tady.
''The lady slipped and fe:H down. She got some inner injury
resulting in disturbance of menstruation. Ht!r system of digestion
was also affected and the bowels did not work properly. She
developed constipation too. First of all she had allopathic treatment INTERNAL INJURIES : 161
and when it proved useless, Ayurvedic treatment was tried. The
troubles could not be cured. Even chromopathy wa~ tried. But due to·
the absence of diet control and irregular life,,the condition of the
woman became worse day by day and she was so emaciated that
her life was in danger. Some of her relatives advised her to see me.
when 1 observed her for the first time, her condition put me in doubt
about the cure and I refused to treat her. But o'lpersistent request, I
admitted her to my hospitaL
11The condition of the patient was then serious. Monthly course
had stopped, motions were almost absent and she-passed har~ly
about 6 oz. of urine in 24 hours. It was of deep chocolate colour ltke
that of a hours and was extermely ill-smelling. lnflammati<>n was on
her hands, feet, breast and eye-lids.
"The treatment was commenced on the basis of Armstrong's book
but with a slight difference. She was made to drink as much of
auto-urine as was possible for her. Warm water was also given. She
was daily rubbed with urine and was given a ~unbath


 as a whole for other  symptoms,  the local  condition  is apt to
cure  itself  without any direct attention.
Glaucoma. This, according  to orthodox Medicine  and even to naturop ,;
thy,  is a very serious  condition.  Oculists perform an operation,  but in
many cases the. patient sooner or later  merely  goes blind. In any event,
mutilation  can never be termed a cure. Patients  who have no been
tampered  with, I have known to respond  well  on urine‐fast  of about a
month's  duration. As against that cases which  have been surgically
interfered  with must  a: a general rule be considered  practically
hopeless.   92
 Rheumatism.  In this  country (England)  the weathe is often  blamed for
rheumatic  conditions  by persons wit) insufficiently  alkaline blood. But
were the blood  and (body free from acidity and  foreign matter,  the
weather or changes of weather would have, no effect.
With regard to the cure  for rheumatism  (of which  some doctors say
there  are 26 different kinds) I hav found chat patients always respond
well  to a urine‐fa,, of from 10 to 12 days, or even less in simple cases.
Th fast must  be attended with the urine‐rubbings  and urine packs.  After
the cure, revision of diet to a well  balance regime  is essential to avoid
recurrence.  Many cases hai even responded  to the one meal a day plan
(the foe must  be carefully chosen, alcohol and condimen  avoided) plus
the taking of autogenous  urine, the urin rubbings,  and uane‐packs.  Such
cases, if of not too long‐standing and severe, have usually cleared up
within a few weeks.
Arthritis. This painful and distressing  condition  is about as far removed
from rheumatism  as a severe attack of influenza from a slight  cold, and
is one of the very worst conditions  to tackle; notably because the
foreign deposits are largely  lodged in the bones. Even to cure  an
incipient case  I have found that it takes anywhere  from 12 to 40 days
on a very carefully selected diet, the taking of every drop of urine
passed, and  long daily rubbings  with urine. (These were cases where
the patients had  objected to or had  not found it feasible to fast.)
Nevertheless,  I regard such treatment  as only half  measures,  and
maintain that a complete  urine‐fast  of even 10 days does far more  to
help the victims than months of mere dieting and  the taking of urine.
But I must  emphasis  that where  the trouble has become deep‐seated, 93
 and the victim  is practically  crippled, there  is little prospect of obtaining
a cure.
I will now add a few cases kindly supplied by the naturopath  Mr. Oliver
Warnock‐Fielden
“Bronchial  Asthma. Mr. D.E., age 37. Discharged  from the Navy for
Bronchial  Asthma, from which he had suffered  since the age of 14. The
sea life seemed to make the trouble worse. Disturbed  each night  at
lean four times in order to use a medical spray,  also he dare  not go to
the theatre  without  it so that he could use it between.  the acts.  Within
three  months, during which  he drank urine up to three or four pints  a
day,  and two short  fasts of 36 to 40 hours  each on urine alone, he
became  so much relieved that he never thinks  of taking his spray to the
theatre, nor does he wake up at night to use it. All fear of his trouble
has left him and his general health is vastly improved.
Another  case  of the same trouble improved  in a four days'  fast on urine,
when a three weeks'  fast at a wellknown  Nature  Cure Home had utterly
failed. After every drink  of urine a wad of mucus  was discharged.  The
last day of the fast produced  such a clot of mucus  that the patient went
out and  tested his breathing  by walking up a hill. Experiencingg  no
difficulty he immediately  returned to work."
"Diseased  Kidney. Mr. G.D.  In May, 1944, he was in hospital for the
removal of his right kidney. He had  suffered great pain, the urine was
the colour of blood, and  the X‐ray had  shown a large stone lodged in
the pelvis  of the kidney. The surgeon's  opinion was that the kidney was
diseased  and  not to remove it would  be a danger to life. However,  Mr.
D. refused the operation  and came to me. He took to urine drinking 94
 quite naturally,  drank all he passed; fasted  repeatedly  for several days
at a time, and  within a few weeks the condition  was improved  to the
extent that there  was no pain and  the urine was of normal  colour.  In
three  months  Mr. D. returned to the hospital  and  was told that there
was nothing wrong  with his kidney.
As a result of this successful  treatment,  Mr. D. brought me a patient
who had been in hospital waiting to undergo the same operation.  He
also was cured by the same method.
In cases such as these  one must accept the verdict of the examining
surgeons  and the radiologist  who in both instances  were pressing for an
operation  as the only means of relief, or even of saving
