 for many purposes. High in Linolenic Acid and Gamma-
Linolenic Acid.
BLACK CURRENT SEED OIL
 — Known for its rich oils high in Linoleic
Acid and Gamma-Linolenic Acid.
BORAGE OIL
 — The borage plant is known as “the adrenal” herb. The
adrenal glands supply your body’s steroids, which are manufactured from
cholesterol, one of the main products of essential fatty acids.
EVENING PRIMROSE OIL
 — This flower is also known as Evening Star
and Night Willow. I have used Evening Primrose Oil in cases of Multiple
Sclerosis (MS) with great results. A rich source of Linoleic and Linolenic
Acids.A note of caution about oils:
 Never use cheap, refined, commercial or
processed oils found in clear glass or clear plastic bottles. These oils are
mostly rancid and full of solvents, pesticides and chemical preservatives, like
BHA, BHT, methyl silicone, and others. These oils are “super-cooked” which
means that most of their nutrition is lost, changed or bonded, causing body
acidosis, and liver and kidney damage.
AN EXAMPLE OF FAT METABOLISM

As stated earlier, your body is not designed to absorb or use “structures.”
Like proteins, fats are structures. They consist of chained or bonded fatty
acids. Since your body and its cells can only use simple compounds for
activity and sustenance, fats that are consumed from foods must be broken
down into the fatty acids that comprise them, much the same way that
proteins are broken down into amino acids. This digestive action takes place
in the first part of the small intestine with the assistance of bile from the
liver/gallbladder. The following describes the process of fat digestion and
metabolism:
1
.
Bile Salts emulsify fats and make them water-soluble so that pancreatic
and intestinal lipase can convert them to fatty acids and glycerol.
2
.
Gastric juices—enzyme gastric lipase—converts (emulsifies) fats into
fatty acids and glycerol (an alcohol).
3
.
Intestinal (duodenum) enzyme steapsin—a lipase from the pancreas—
converts fats into fatty acids and glycerol (an alcohol).
4
.
Fatty acids and glycerol bind to form neutral fats, which then bond to
various proteins to form chylomicrons. Fats in this form are absorbed
and carried throughout the lymphatic system and the blood system where
they are dispersed to the tissues of the body. Fatty acids cannot be
converted to glucose. However, they can enter the Krebs (energy) Cycle
through acetyl groups.
5
.
Adipose (fatty) tissue is created for the body’s energy reserve and factors
for cellular health and immunity.

Conclusion

When fats are oxidized into water and carbon dioxide, several by-products
(ketones) are formed. These include acetone, acetoacetic acid and
betahydroxybutyric acid. When these ketones are produced in excess, either
through incomplete oxidation or excessive break down of body fats from
high protein diets, a condition occurs called ketosis, which results in acidosis.
This leads to tissue damage and hypo-function of cells (organs and glands).
Ketosis can also occur in hyperthyroidism, starvation, fevers, and various
toxemias.
Keep it simple. All the substances that your body requires, including fats,
are found in organic fruits, nuts, seeds and vegetables. If it’s not in them, you
don’t need it! Science has lost touch with the simplicity of health. Animals
intuitively eat the food assigned for their particular species. So should you.
However, there are chronic and degenerative cases where the
supplementation of a small amount of plant oil, like Evening Primrose, will
help tremendously. This is especially true in any neurological condition, such
as M.S., Parkinson’s, and Lou Gehrig’s Disease.
MODULE 3.4
Enzymes: The Biocatalysts
Putting the puzzle of health together would not be complete without the
understanding of enzymes. The physical world, on all levels, is in a continual
process of consumption. One living structure consumes another for part of its
energy source. The consumption of food by animals and humans is just one
small example of this. There is a chemical and biochemical interplay among
all aspects of life. Elements and compounds are constantly being transmuted
(changed) into other compounds or elements. As a rule, the “complex” is
broken down to the “simple.” One example of this would be protein
structures—complex structures that are broken down through digestion (by
enzyme action) into amino acids. Amino acids are simple compounds or basic
building materials used by the body for growth and repair. In another
example, complex-sugars like maltose and sucrose are broken down into a
simple sugar, glucose. These processes are all essential for proper utilization.
However, each life form is unique and will utilize these building materials in
a variety of ways to suit its uniqueness.
Enzymes are the catalysts of all these chemical and biochemical
processes. No chemical or biochemical process can take place without an
enzyme present to initiate this process; whether this process is catabolic
(tearing down) or anabolic (building up). An example of catabolic action
would be digestion (the process described above), where the structures are
broken down into building materials. We also have anabolic building and
rebuilding processes going on in our bodies, such as cellular birth and
cellular repair.
All body processes including liver function, kidney function, immune
and lymphatic response, and the grand communication of the nervous system,
depend upon enzymes to function. Enzymes have been called the
“workforce” of life. They are the laborers, the builders, the construction
workers. They make life happen.
Enzymes are organic catalysts produced by living cells, which act upon
what are called “substrates.” They form a temporary bond with these
substrates and are then referred to as “enzyme substrate complexes.”
Enzymes are like magnets, promoting the formation or destruction of
elements or their substrates to produce the desired product. We need and use
thousands of enzymes throughout the body. Metabolism alone requires
several thousand enzymes. Enzymes can act like some proteins, which means
they can be carriers for nutrients. But they are mainly used as catalysts,
required anytime a chemical action or reaction needs to take place. They alsocan affect the rate of this action or reaction. In a healthy body, enzymes can
be used over and over again.
It is important to note that the pH of the body, as well as dehydration
(water levels), radiation, toxicity and body temperatures can impair, destroy
or stimulate enzyme factors. This can lead to hypo- or hyperactivity of
tissues, lack of proper digestion, poor nerve response and breathing issues,
just to name a few conditions.
Enzymes have a consciousness all their own, as each living thing does.
Each has a specific job to do and knows it. Some speed things up and others
slow things down. It does not matter what the process is; an enzyme must be
present.
There are basically two types of enzymes in humans. First, our systemic
enzymes, which are responsible for running the machinery (e.g., immune,
kidney, bowel, nerve functions). There are hundreds of enzymes used in
metabolism (running the body) and cellular growth and repair, including
DNA replication. Blood clotting, oxygen exchange and the transport of
carbon
dioxide, all require enzymes. Cellular respiration (the way cells eat
and excrete) is as vital a process for cells, as it is for the body as a whole;
both respiration processes need enzyme action.
Second, our digestive enzymes are used to break down the structures we
consume into building materials. Cells cannot eat structures; they need
building materials. In constructing a house, a builder will often tear down a
structure to get whatever materials he can save, and then use those materials
to create a new structure. Our body has to do the same thing. It needs to
break down the “structures” we eat into the simplest of compounds or
elements for building, repairing, or for fuel. Enzymes are needed in this entire
process.
Digestive enzymes are called hydrolytic enzymes because they bond
(catalyze) water molecules to larger food particles, to split them into smaller
compounds or elements. We have digestive enzymes starting in the mouth,
such as amylase and ptyalin, which break down sugars and starches. We also
have digestive enzymes in the stomach. These enzymes are called inactive
enzymes or pro-enzymes because they must be activated before they can
catalyze or affect a change. Pepsinogen is an example of a proenzyme that is
changed into pepsin by the action of HCL (hydrochloric acid

SECTION XI - CONTENTS, CHEMISTRY AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES
 There are several papers in this group showing the widespread interest in the plant's chemistry. Not all researchers come up with the same findings as would be expected because of the variety of specimens
used. The constituents of an Aloe Vera plant will vary depending on (i) its botanical variety, (ii) its age,
(iii) the type of soil in which it was grown, (iv) the amount of sunshine to which it was subjected, and (v)
the season in which it was harvested.

  the memory  in your  atmosphere  of
the condition  with  which  you  passed  out!  That  is what  is
charged  into  the world  of those  left  behind!  Individuals
who  have  discarnates  hovering  about  them,  often  Out-
picture  the feeling  of the discarnates;  because  the memory
of that  feeling,  charges  its quality  into  and  thru  the feeling
world  of the one  still  in physical  embodiment;  and  that
person  begins  to Out-picture  the same  thing.  The  Simplic-
ity of Life,  makes  you  Master  of the entire  situation. DISCOURSE  XXIII  407
Do you  not see how,  if such  a thing  touched  your  feeling
world,  if you  would  just  call  forth  the Light  and  blaze  It
forth,  by Its Mighty  Radiance,  you  would  cut loose  instantly
anything  which  had  attached  itself  to your  feeling  world.
You have  not felt  your  Authority  yet;  but  I want  you  to
feel It today!  No matter  what  touches  you  or disturbs  you,
call forth  the Light;  and  feel  It expand  thru  every  cell  of
your  body  and  cut yourself  loose  from  such  things!  You
can dispell  anything  that  comes  around  you;  whether  it be
the projection  of something  into  your  physical  body,  en-
tities  or anything  of the kind!  It will  act the same,  insofar
as you  are concerned.  Therefore,  you  are the Master!
Continuing  what  I said  a while  ago,  to anyone  who  is
disturbed  by these  projections;  or if it be entities,  call  first
to Beloved  Astrea,  then  call to Me and  I will  stop  that  thing
acting  in your  world!  Recently  so much  viciousness  has
been  projected  at the students,  I am determined  that  thing
shall  stop!  If you  will  make  your  Call  to Me,  after  you  have
called  to your  Presence,  then  at the same  time,  feel  This
Light  go into  and  spread  out  in Its Dynamic  Powerful
Radiance,  I will  cut you  Free!
Nothing  in the world,  my Dear  Ones,  can  find  action
within  your  feeling  world  or affect  your  physical  body,
unless  you  let it. I want  you  to feel  your  Mastery!  Don't
keep  accepting  that  something  has  power  to touch  you!
It doesn't  make  any  difference  what  it is! This  Life  Stream
is, as you  observe  It here!  (pointing  to Chart)  Think  of Its
Mighty  Intelligence  and  Mastery!  That  is what  you  call 433 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
forth!  When  you  do call  It forth  and  expand  It thru  the
body,  isn't  it just  the same,  as if you  turn  the Light  on in
this room  when  it is dark?  The  darkness  disappears!  Well,
all human  qualities  are darkness  or shadows;  and  they  have
no power  in the Presence  of This  Light.  As you  feel  Our
Light  call  It forth  and  expand  It in, thru  and  around  your
body,  It just  acts  automatically!
If you  observed  Its Action  with  the All-Seeing-Eye  as I
did, you  would  see the Light  flash  and  blaze  out  around
this body,  as definitely  as a Flame  Itself.  It means  nothing
destructive  can stand  within  That  Flame.  I want  you  to feel
Our Mastery,  Power  and  Assurance!  There  is no reason
why  you  should  be disturbed  by any  thing.  It means  so
much  now  to take  the Mastery;  so nothing  disturbs  the con-
stant  Increasing  Power,  Harmony  and  Radiance  which  is
about  you.
I thank  you  and  I am eternally  grateful  for this  oppor-
tunity  to serve  you  today.  May  It remain  a Happy  Glorious
Memory  within  you  always;  until  that  day,  when  you  stand
in Our  Octave  of Light  and  I shake  your  hand  and  wel-
come  you  Home.  Your  Home  is there,  not here!  I know
that definitely!  Therefore,  you  have  just  been  on a peculiar
vacation.  Now  you  are coming  Home  today,  to render  your
Real  Great  Service.
I thank  you. DISCOURSE  XXV  4i7

Beloved  Ones  of the Light,  for such  you  are or you  would

Light  tonight!
I have  drawn  the  Radiance  from  the  Cave  of Light  in
India  where  the  Children,  referred  to in the  Magic  Pres-

Will  you  be kind  enough  to accept  Its Interblending  Power
with  your  Life  Stream;  to harmonize,  to intensify  and
to bring  the  most  rapid  fruition  of the  Powers  of Light,
to act within  your  human  form ?
My Province  for many  centuries  has been  governing  and

Now  notice!  The  conditions  which  have  been  dissolved

justified  in saying  that  from  the appearance  of Europe  and
the Orient,  there  seems  little  evidence  of These  Words.  Oh,
quite  true!  Quite  true!  but is the mankind  of Earth  wiser
than  I, who  for two  million  years,  have  been  the Authority
to This  Earth?
You can  scarcely  believe,  Beloved  Children  of Light,
that such  a Stupendous  Change  can take  place;  and  yet you
shall  see It! You  have  been  told  a number  of times,  this  is
the culmination  of the ages.  Only  as you see certain  coming
outer  manifestations,  will  you  understand  how  very  True  it
is! There  are those  who  could  have  This  Great  Opportunity
and This  Power  of Action  in their  lives,  but they  do not take
hold  of It. How  unfortunate  all do not take  advantage  of It!
We have  been  patient  a long  time.  We  can  still  be pa-
tient  for a time.  Then  the  Great  Law  of Life  says:  "No
longer,  Children  of Earth"!  No longer  may  you  have  time
to make  up your  minds!  The  Great  Law  of Life  says  then:
"I shall  make  it up for you"!  That  is not unjust!  It is a


 first, that the original
deficiency is invariably multiple in origin. The diet has usually been deficient in not one or two, but in many or all of the vitamins. This is being further established every day, in
both the research laboratory and in clinical practice.
   It is essential that the concentrate contain all of the vitamins, both known and
unknown. Undoubtedly many of the vitamins essential in human nutrition have not as
yet been identified or synthetically reproduced. For this reason no synthetic preparation can completely replace the vitamins in which the average person may be deficient. Such
foods as yeast, liver and wheat germ are ex cellent sources of not only some of the
known vitamins, but also many of the unidentified naturally occurring associated factors
which are just as important in human nutrition as the fractions already known. A
millionth of a milligram of biotin may be as important in the daily diet as three milligrams of thiamin. In the selection of any vitamin concentrate bear in mind the need
for its containing as many of the vital vitamins as are found in our foods. Only natural
sources of the vitamins should be employed for synthetic mixtures alone cannot afford a
complete complex of the required factors, and without the so-called "unknown or unsynthesized" factors, few if any deficiency disorders can be cured. A new condition more serious than the one being treated may develop as the result of imbalance. The
great mass of people suffering from digestive disorders, heart symptoms, rheumatic
pains and aches, and fatigue will notice improved health conditions very soon after the
beginning of such a regime. A reversion in appearance to a younger age group will soon
be apparent. The skin will be brighter; the hair more nearly like the hair of a well fed animal, with a richer luster than before, a nd the ability to do physical and mental work
will be greatly enhanced. Those cases where actual organic change has taken place, of
course, need further medical or surgical attention. This means crippled hearts, distorted
and misshapen colons and scarred stomachs, the actual incidence of tumors, loss of
teeth, etc. A badly nourished person is never beautiful. The well nourished person cannot escape some degree of beauty, as health and beauty are inseparably bound
together.
   There is also need for a better, clearer understanding of how to judiciously choose a
diet which will contain the factors the body so desperately needs. Diet is a scientific
subject. An appeal to nothing but taste is a wrong approach to one of the most vital problems in health. Normally we tend to overeat on carbohydrate foods, for they have no selflimiting action on the appetite. A rich, natural food, such as honey will be tolerated only in reasonable quantities, and is self-limiting. Several general types of
food, such be avoided, since they fail to carry their share of the nutritional load.
   1--Remove from the diet any food which has had the basic chemistry altered by the
removal of those elements essential to human nutrition. This would eliminate the use of
white flour with most of its vitamin and mineral content removed; white sugar, which is actually a fine food which has been stripped of all nutritional value except calories; and
corn syrup and other sugar syrups which are devitalized, devitaminized sugar solutions.
   2--Any food subject to an artificial ripening loses some of its normal vitamin content.
Artificially ripened tomatoes, oranges and lemons are three such products.    3--Excessive storage causes vitamin de struction. Coldstorage meats are a case in
point, where there is a slow loss of the vital food factors. Orange juice may lose some of
the vitamin C in as little as half an hour if it is squeezed and allowed to stand before
being drunk.
   4--Artificial processing also has a harmful effect on foods. Pasteurization causes
destruction of some of the vitamin C and some precipitation of calcium, and also has
some effect on the vitamin A and B content. This does not justify the use of carelessly
produced raw milk. The milk which is produced under carefully controlled sanitary
conditions (Certified Milk) is nearly as fre e from disease germs as pasteurized milk, and
has the vitamin content of raw milk. Pasteurized milk is better than average raw milk
but is not as good a food as Certified Milk.
   5--Canning does markedly reduce the vitamin content of foods. Whenever possible
foods should be fresh. For off season fruits an d vegetables, fast freezing is far more
satisfactory than canning.
   6--In the home avoid long time storage of foods. Eat as you buy. Long boiling of
fruits and vegetables, meat and even potatoes may cause a destruction of vital food
factors. The use of soda to preserve color of vegetable should never be tolerated as any
alkali destroys Vitamins.
   7--Any synthetic concoction which is suppos ed to replace a natural food, is at best
unsatisfactory. Oleomargarine is no substitute for butter. Any attempt to fortify it with
vitamin A, is answering but a small part of its shortcomings. It totally lacks the vitamin
D, E, and unsaturated Fatty Acids (Vitamin F) found in butter. It is also lacking in the
minerals and phospholipids found in butter.
   8--Avoid in baby foods, the soft mushy type of product designed to save the baby
from the "strain" imposed by roughage in the diet. First the foods are no substitute for
mother's milk, secondly they assume that roughage should be avoided, which is the exact opposite of the truth. The most common disorder among babies is constipation,
due to a lack of bulk in the diet. No wonder, then that millions of people are bound to a
laxative for the rest of their lives, when they have started off by a lack of normal
intestinal physiology.
   9--Don't depend on the "enriched" or "fortified" foods. These foods put back a small
fraction of what commercial bungling has taken out. In each of these foods try to get it in its normal state, i.e., whole wheat instead of white bread.
   Briefly then, the following might be a list of some of    these foods which fall on the
good and the bad side:
GOOD FOODS BAD FOODS
Milk, eggs, butter and cheese. Oleomargarine.
Fresh or raw fruits and vegetables. Canned goods (exception: sea foods and
acid fruits and vegetables).
Fresh meats and sea foods. Cold storage meats.*
Whole wheat and other Whole Grain
products. Made only from fresh ground
flour. Package foods.
Graham crackers, honey canned tomatoes
and other canned acid fruits and vegetables.Sugar, white flour pancakes, white
crackers, white flour bread, white flour
biscuits, white flour muffins, pie crust, etc.
(All food made from white flour or
containing white flour.)
* Cold storage meat is a good source of protein and while the vitamin B elements are
reduced they are not destroyed. It is better than salt meat but not as; good as fresh meat.
   The danger that comes with a failure to put diets on a sensible basis is clearly seen
when one recognizes the relationship of many of the diseases which are so common to
dietary deficiencies.
   We have discussed the inability of artificial preparations spiked with imbalanced
synthetic vitamins to satisfactorily replace mother's milk. Deeper into the problem one
asks, why wasn't mother able to nurse the baby in the first place.
   The secretion of milk goes on in a normal manner in the well nourished mother. The
mother who cannot furnish milk for the child may in rare instances be suffering from
some uncorrectable bodily dysfunction, but in the vast majority of cases the inability to
supply milk to the child is due to a lack of the proper nutrition on the mother's part. In
these cases the child starts off with inadequa te nutrition. The mother's adequate care of
her diet might well have prevented it. Step 2 is that of placing the child on the squeezed,
mashed, mushy canned baby foods which have become accepted as the "natural" thing
to give the baby. Not only do such foods give the baby a flying start towards a life of
chronic constipation through their inability to provide essential roughage, but one again
we are faced with foods which have had a pronounced vitamin loss in the canning process. To suggest that a baby can take fresh vegetables and whole wheat along with
meat sounds impossible to the person who has had the need for giving baby "gentle"
foods drummed into them. Actually children thrive on it if they are started on small quantities and their tolerance is not exceeded. If the infant is able to tolerate the strained, canned, embalmed products fortified with crudely balanced synthetic vitamins,
he will do much better on the fresh substances themselves. Unless the infant is seriously
ill, there is no need for sterilizing the food (with its accompanying vitamin loss) for the
gut must at the same time accommodate itself to the friendly and unfriendly organisms
that will eventually make it their habitat.
   Then comes the school period with its sinus disease, children's febrile diseases and
tonsilitis. The major part of the school child's diet is composed of refined carbohydrates,
sugar and white flour. Remove them from the diet, and the incidence of sinus disease
and tonsilitis will decrease to the vanishing point


 prayer. What of the m any humble
prayers of children, the simple thanksgiving of grace at the tabl e daily,
 5 the faithful devotions wherein the individual seeks only com-munion
with God? My work with people has made it necessary for me  to
study the various approaches to prayer. I have ex-perienced the power
of prayer in my own life, and I have talked and worked with m any
people who also have enjoyed the help of prayer. The problem  usually
is how to tell others how to pray. People who are in troubl e have
difficulty in thinking and acting reasonably. They need an easy
formula to follow, an obviously workable pattern that is sim ple and
specific. Often they must be led to approach the emergency.
• Unique feature of this book
The unique feature of this book is its down-to-earth prac-ti cality.
Here you are presented with simple, usable techniques and formul as,
which you can easily apply in your workaday world. I have taught
these simple processes to men and women all over the world, an d
recently over a thousand men and women of all religious affiliati ons
attended a special class in Los Angeles where I presented the
highlights of what is offered in the pages of this book. Many came
from distances of two hundred miles for each class lesson. The  special
features of this book will ap-peal to you because they show you why
oftentimes you get the opposite of what you prayed for and reveal  to
you the reasons why. People have asked me in all parts of the world
and thou-sands of times, “Why is it I have prayed and prayed and g ot
no answer?” In this book you will find the reasons for this common
complaint. The many ways of impressing the subconscious mind and
getting the right answers make this an extraordinarily valu -able book
and an ever-present help in time of trouble.
• What do you believe?
It is not the thing believed in that brings an answer to man’s  prayer;
the answer to prayer results when the individual’s sub-consci ous mind
responds to the mental picture or thought in his mind. This law of
belief is operating in all religions of the world and is t he reason why
they are psychologically true. The Bud-dhist, the Christian, the
Moslem, and the Hebrew all may get answers to their prayer s, not
 6 because of the particular creed, religion, affiliation, ri tual, ceremony,
formula, liturgy, incanta-tion, sacrifices, or offerings, but sol ely
because of belief or mental acceptance and receptivity about that for
which they pray.
The law of life is the law of belief, and belief could be summed up
briefly as a thought in your mind. As a man thinks, feels, and believ es,
so is the condition of his mind, body, and circum-stances. A
technique, a methodology based on an understanding of what you are
doing and why you are doing it will help you to bring about a
subconscious embodiment of all the good things of life. Essential ly,
answered prayer is the realization of your heart’s desire.
• Desire is prayer
Everyone desires health, happiness, security, peace of mind, true
expression, but many fail to achieve clearly defined results. A
university professor admitted to me recently, “I know that if I  changed
my mental pattern and redirected my emotional life, my ulcers would
not recur, but I do not have any technique, process, or modus
operandi. My mind wanders back and forth on my many problems,
and I feel frustrated, defeated, and unhappy.”
This professor had a desire for perfect health; he neede d knowledge
of the way his mind worked which would enable him to fulfill his
desire. By practicing the healing methods outlined in this book, he
became whole and perfect.
• There is one mind common to all individual men (Emerson)
The miracle-working powers of your subconscious mind existed
before you and I were born, before any church or world existed. The
great eternal truths and principles of life antedate all religions. It is
with these thoughts in mind that I urge you in the following chapt ers
to lay hold of this wonderful, magical, transforming power, which wil l
bind up mental and physical wounds, proclaim liberty to the  fear-
ridden mind, and liberate you completely from the limitations of
poverty, failure, misery, lack, and frustration. All you have to do is
unite mentally and emotionally with the good you wish to embody,
 7 and the creative powers of your subconscious will respond
accordingly. Begin now, today, let wonders happen in your life!
Keep on, keeping on until the day breaks and the shadows flee away.

��nally had some time to myself, and I slept for 2 hours this afternoon.Personal Story - 40-Day Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!98At about 4pm today,  I decided to have some fresh lime squeezed into water because I wanted to start slowly preparing my body to become ready for food tomorrow.  I cut half of a fresh lime and licked the inside of the the slice before squeezing it - wow! It was the best thing I ever tasted in my whole life!  I could not believe the ﬂavor!  I was so happy to have some of the lime water; instantaneously I felt energized and came back to life.Later this evening at about 8pm, I decided to drink some of the onion, garlic, ginger water.  I probably drank about 1 cup or 200 ml of the strained liquid.  That is seriously potent stuff! It knocked me out! I had to lie down for more than 2 hours afterwards.  I sure hope that I can get through eating it tomorrow, but my goal is to fumigate those worms, and I will do what needs to be done!Speaking of which, the humaworm arrived today of all days! There could not have been better timing had I tried! Tomorrow is when I wanted to start the course of herbs, and now I can do everything according to plan. So, I do feel better breaking the fast knowing that I can go directly into the parasite program.  The key is to gently transition the body back into food.  Pureed food is very easy to stomach and digest and I will simply listen to my body and eat as much as I feel it needs. I have plenty of time to enjoy all the foods I love later.Personal Story - 40-Day Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!99Chapter 10Eating!Day 41I did not sleep at all last night. Actually I wasn’t even thinking about food, I simply couldn’t sleep.  I really took that as a sign that it was time to end the fast because I almost felt like my body was a bit on high-alert, perhaps intuitively waiting for and wanting food.I tried to sleep at 4am, my ‘normal’ bedtime throughout this fast but I had so many thoughts racing through my mind that I could not sleep. At 5am and 6am, I was still awake. Finally at 7am, I woke up and decided to do my enema. I did not have any worms. Somehow, mainly because of the twitching, I do feel like I still have a few worms in me, but I have to just be happy with all the work that I’ve done and do my best on the follow-up work now.Once shower and dressed, I was ready to eat! I took my ﬁrst dose of humaworm and then prepared my ﬁrst meal.  I chopped 5 cloves of garlic with equal amount of ginger plus 1 raw onion and 5 mini cucumbers, peeled.  I blended everything into a puree. It was the most delicious smell ever!I sat quietly by myself to enjoy my ﬁrst meal after 40 days of water fasting.  It’s so important to eat consciously, with gratitude and grace.  The ﬁrst spoonful was euphoric.  The taste was neither too strong nor boring - it was just perfect.  After 5 small spoonfuls, I was full.  And energized!  I felt ready to climb a mountain!  I put the remainder back in the fridge and set out for a 10-minute walk to visit my friend.  She was so happy to see me full of life and spirit after watching me throughout this fast.  We hugged and laughed and I kept telling her how happy I felt!  It was an amazing feeling, like someone had plugged electricity back into me!When I went home, I had about 4 more spoonfuls.  Then I decided to add some raw apple cider vinegar and I mixed it all together.  Wow!  Even better!Throughout the day, I had a few spoonfuls every 3-4 hours.  Actually in the evening I was very sad when I dropped the bowl, with almost half left inside! I took this as a sign that the universe did not want me to eat anymore, so I cleaned it up and left it for today.I took several probiotics throughout the day and continued to rest as much as I could. It’s still a day of transition for my body. Tomorrow I would like to try to walk a bit more, stretch my muscles and start teaching my body to move again.  And I look forward to making my raw soup, hopefully not spilling any next time.  It’s is so fantastic to be back in the eating world again!Day 42Amazing day. I felt pumped full of energy and life again, almost like someone brought back from the dead! I was so excited to go for a walk today, and ﬁnally I had a chance to do the 15-minute walk down to the market, bank and Tesco.  It felt like a marathon after being dormant and at Eating!
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!101home for so long!  I really felt good the whole way.  Even I was surprised that I didn’t fade out.  In Tesco, I was totally overwhelmed by the bright lights, people and shelves and shelves of choices.  It was like landing on another planet.  My life has been so simple for the last 40 days and suddenly I was dropped into a world full of stimulation.  Somehow I managed to buy everything I wanted - cucumbers, tomatoes, celery, fresh limes, fresh herbs, leeks, spinach, one daikon and some onions.  All I want are savory foods right now. I am not at all craving fruit or anything sweet.  In fact, I have been dreaming of pickling my own cucumbers.  A big storm came in not long after I had arrived home, but luckily I had time to wash all my veggies and rinse them well before we lost power.  I bought a new little basin today just for washing veggies and 2 new huge colanders.  It’s my commitment to myself after this fast to soak everything I buy in Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) and water for 10 minutes to kill any parasite eggs before rinsing and drying.All day I only ate 2 mini-cucumbers. I didn’t feel hungry at all and so I simply listened to my body and honored that.  The food that I bought at Tesco was mainly for ‘playing’ - I just wanted to enjoy chopping, mixing and making food after being away from it from so long!  I was so happy to feel reconnected once again, it’s a feeling that I just can’t even describe!  Especially right now but even in general, I do prefer to make my own food Eating!
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!102so I know what’s in it and also so I can put loving intention and gratitude into the food while I make it. For sure, that makes a difference!We lost power for about 90 minutes and during that time, I made my raw food creations.  I lit some candles and managed to have just enough light to be able to see what I was doing. With the intention of still eating a lot of garlic, ginger and onion, I decided to make a nice salsa and then I made a cucumber salad.In the salsa, I mixed 10 fresh chopped Roma tomatoes, 1 1/2 onions, 10 cloves of chopped garlic, 1 handful of fresh coriander, 2 stalks of diced celery and the juice of 6 limes.  Then I mixed in a drizzle of raw apple cider vinegar, some cayenne pepper, a pinch of cumin, a pinch of freshly ground mustard seed and sea salt.  I put it in the fridge to let it marinate.Meanwhile, I made my ‘dinner salad’ which consisted of 3 Japanese cucumbers, peeled and chopped, 3 stalks of diced celery and 1 yellow onion chopped.  I added about 1 Tbsp. grated ginger and sprinkled some cumin powder in with a pinch of sea salt.  For the dressing, I made the Cilantro Lime Dressing which I have listed in Chapter 6 as a Cleansing Salad Dressing in the Follow-Up Cleansing Section.  Since it’s still early after the fast, I omitted the jalapeno pepper from the recipe for now.  Wow! That dressing is so delicious!!  I made a double batch, putting the other half in a jar in the fridge for tomorrow’s salad.  Eating!
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!103I had so much fun making all that food!!  Just touching, smelling and intuitively creating beautiful dishes from raw food is such an enjoyable experience.  Although I had said I would puree all my foods for awhile, today I felt I really wanted to chew so I decided to chop everything, small making it easier to eat.I tried just a bit of the salsa, eating it like a soup, and it was delicious.  By the time I cleaned everything up and sat down to eat my salad, the raw apple cider vinegar had ﬂavored the cucumbers and I almost had my taste of raw pickles.  Yum!  That salad was pure bliss.  I was sure I would eat it all!  But, halfway through I became so full that I had to stop, so I put it in the fridge for tomorrow.  No problem!I’m still taking the humaworm capsules and probiotics.  I’ve also


the throat. There was a small wound in the throat and it emitted a very bad smell. Urine-soaked cotton was placed on the wound and was changed every three hours. He got some relief. He 40 was given urine acid to drink under a pretext. After two months, the bleeding stopped. The doctors diagnosed that he was fully cured.”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John F. O'Quinn  CANCER OF THROAT  “ A Harijan woman was emitting blood through the mouth even in ordinary coughing. She was hospitalized more than once but with no improvement. Doctors believed that she had developed cancer of the throat. She was given Urine Treatment under pretext for three days. The bleeding stopped at once. After coming to realize the remedy, she drank  urine willingly and rubbed it on her chest for forty days and cured herself completely. She is now quite healthy.”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John F. O'Quinn  CANCER OF THROAT   Dr. V.P. Mehta, Mumbai "I am a qualified and experienced medical doctor with the highest degrees both in medicine and surgery. On March 12, 1986, I was diagnosed with cancer of the ary-epiglottic area (throat) with enlarged cervical lymph nodes. After receiving chemotherapy and a course of cobalt therapy I was to be operated on.  Between August and October I tried Urine Therapy. By October 5, 1986, my disease was under control and the proposed surgery was canceled. I have not only recovered in a medical sense, but I am also leading a fully active professional life. In other words, even the quality of my life has improved. I feel the same zeal which I felt 30 years ago."  World-wide Case Histories of Urine Therapy by Gary Ward  CANCER OF TONGUE  Hashmukh G. Panwala (1676, Sevkani wadi, Khadia, Ahmedabad-1} provides an excellent case of cancer-cure by urine therapy:  "About a couple of months ago, I had to consult eminent doctors and specialists for the treatment of my father. He was said so suffer from malignant tongue cancer. Being in the employment in air-lines, I had a mind to take him to Switzerland, but it was considered to be of no avail. However in my over-enthusiasm, I did manage to give my 41 father some deep X-rays, numbering about four courses, but despite this the shooting pain did not subside even for a while.  As I had an occasion to try urine therapy for my own chronic cold trouble in 1957, I suggested to my proposal. He started the treatment, commencing with ten days' fast. Soon after, amazing relief was noticeable, even though the pace of progress was very slow. I thought it was advisable to consult Shri Raojikaka. He suggested to begin the treatment again commencing with four days' fast and atter the fast, to continue the treatment of urine therapy while taking special care about food. Salt, sugar, milk and other things were totally forbidden. My father followed the regime religiously. I was also carefully watching the progress.  When I consulted the doctors and surgeons again, I was told that something miraculous had happened to my father inasmuch as his cancer was cured 75% in one and a half month.  I was over jubilant to hear this and was anxiously waiting for 100 percent cure. Lastly some ten days ago, I went to an eminent doctor with my father for check-up. According to his opinion, the cure was almost complete and the patient might be feeling that he was completely cured."  Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  CANCER OF TONGUE   “C.H. Patel, age fifty-one, had developed cancer on his tongue. A co-worker had asked Patel to try Urine Treatment for his cancer. In due course, he met with success and got rid of his trouble.”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John F. O'Quinn  CANCER OF TONSILS AND THROAT  Bill's Journey using Human Milk Therapy for Throat Cancer  The Milk of Human Kindness: Human Milk Therapy  Written by Cheryl Scott RN, PhD, IBCLC   Rudolph Ballentine, MD, in his book Diet and Nutrition, states: “In many cultures, milk is, in fact, a symbol of the willingness to give, to sacrifice, and to put the welfare of another 42 above that of oneself.  Expressions such as “the milk of human kindness” are to be found in many languages.[1] As a lactation consultant for the past 15 years, I find myself in continual awe at the special qualities a mother’s milk provides to her baby.  Much is known about the nutritional and protective qualities of human milk.  Human milk provides antibodies and other protective substances for both a mother’s child as well as adult recipients.   Recently, I have discovered a new dimension, a deeper look at the unique sacrifice and gift of life breastfeeding women provide for humans, big and small.   Personal Benefits Bill Experienced from Donated Human Milk:         - Protected and supported his immune system    - Natural Tranquilizer: Assisted him to sleep soundly after his doses    - Healed his bed sore (secondary to severe malnutrition) within 4 hours     - Destroyed his cancer cells    - Minimized mucositis (sores in throat and oral region from radiation)    - Supported his T cell count and leukocyte count during chemo & radiation safeguarding Bill during his hospitalizations from nosicomial infections   - As of April 2013: He is cancer free for over 2.5 years! His doctors are amazed and happy at how strong and lively he is!  This story began in July of 2009, when my Sweetheart, Bill, was diagnosed with Stage 4 Tonsil cancer, which had metastasized throughout his throat.  Initially Bill sought surgical treatment from the Mayo Clinic using a robot to remove 7 tumors in his throat.  Despite the reputation of an 80% success rate with the Mayo Clinic’s trans-oral robotic surgery, 1 year later, we received a new diagnosis of 4 more aggressive tumors in his throat and base of his tongue.  The most troublesome tumor was very large and was encasing his carotid artery.  This explained Bill’s frequent episodes of passing out.  A second surgery was not an option for Bill since his blood flow to his brain was strangulated by this very aggressive tumor.  Bill’s only hope from his new doctors was aggressive radiation and chemotherapy.  Bill had already been utilizing about 10 holistic anti-cancer protocols, which strengthened him, however these holistic methods did not stop the post-surgical metastasis of his tumors.  43 Bill’s physicians mapped out a very aggressive radiation and chemotherapy course as his last hope to destroy the cancer and restore proper blood flow to his brain.  Sadly, the toxicity from radiation and chemo made Bill very, very sick.  Thankfully, the doctors had placed a feeding tube called a peg tube into his stomach since his throat would be too swollen to eat for months.  However, he threw up the formula that was fed through his feeding tube as well.  We tried every type of anti-nausea medication under the sun without any relief.  He soon dropped his weight from 175 to 115.  It was so sad to see this vibrant, strong man reduced down to skin and bones.  I feared the treatments might kill him before the cancer.  And then a miracle happened.  I received an email from a colleague of mine, a nurse who works at the same hospital where I work.  She wrote:   “Just thought I would offer some breastmilk for Bill and his n/v. I could donate and I think I would be able to get some other donors as well. Obviously I'm not sure about what the total volume would be but we could try. Let me know and I will start a milk collection campaign.”   Blessings, Jackie  My friend and colleague, Jackie was breastfeeding her 8-month-old baby and was blessed with the ability to make more milk than her baby actually needed.  She told me she was just about ready to stop pumping at work since her baby had more milk than he needed at home.  However, when she heard of Bill’s trouble with keeping any food down, she wanted to offer her milk, knowing the immense healing properties of Mother’s Milk.  She said she would be more than happy to continue to pump when she was at work and she could split her milk supply between her baby and Bill.  What a blessing!   I asked Bill if he would like to add Human Milk Therapy to his treatment plan and he broke down crying when he heard of Jackie’s kind offer.  The very next day, I was able to pick up Jackie’s first donation of the Milk of Human Kindness.  When we returned home, we infused 1 ounce into Bill’s GT tube.  He didn’t throw it up!  It was the first time in over 2 weeks that he did not vomit what we placed into his stomach.  We added another ounce and then another ounce to reach the therapeutic dosage range of 3 ounces of Human Milk which is the suggested dosage as an anti-cancer treatment.  Bill was able to keep the 3 ounces in his stomach.  A lot of rejoicing was going on in our household that day!    When Bill woke up the next morning, he had a small bedsore developing on the tip of his tailbone secondary to his severe state of malnutrition from his radiation and chemotherapy toxicity.  I placed some drops of Mother’s Milk onto the small bedsore and I was amazed to see the bedsore disappeared within 4 hours.  That is unheard of!


 the long run, were “for my own good.” I
immediately came up with a good -sized list.
Then I took a look at things I have done for others that did me no good at all —that, in
fact, actually damaged me in some way —but that  I did anyway, because I loved that other
person, or that project. Again, I came up with a pretty healthy list.
Now the One Soul inspired me to ask myself:
Can you begin to understand how souls could be doing the same kind of thing?
Does it seem to you pos sible that soul -beings would do this as part of their
journey —to advance either their own evolution... or the evolution of another?
I had to admit that suddenly I had a better conceptual understanding of all of this. Then I
suddenly saw a “movie” in my head. I was caused to imagine an exchange between myself
and another soul. In my vision I was walking down a sidewalk in some city and I came
across a street person leaning up against a building, clothes a mess, hair oily from not
having been washed in wee ks, and smelling... well, interesting...  for lack of a better
description.
The street person held out a small paper cup as I passed by. “Would you have any spare
change?” she mumbled.
Oh, this same person is on this same spot six days out of seven, I said to myself. She’s got
a real racket going. Why bother even looking for work when you can pick up who knows
how many dollars a week just standing here asking for it?
I passed her by without giving her so much as a look... but then I turned b ack and
headed straight for her. “Tell me something,” I blurted. “Why don’t you just get a job like
everybody else rather than standing here asking people for money?”
“If I did,” the bag lady replied, “who would be here to let you see who you really are —?”
I was stunned by her answer.
Stunned into silence.
I invite you, now, to move into that silence yourself. Consider her reply. How does it feel
to you? What is your intuitive response? Please give this some thought as you prepare to
move into the final cha pter of this book; as you prepare to embrace The Final Change...
“Show yourself to me,”
said I to God again.
And this is what happened next:
I became pregnant with Light.
My eyes were sunrise and sunset, both.
Freckles announced themselves planets and s tars,
and beamed upon my cheeks.  Each of my lips became a kiss to the other,
my ears heard oceans of life.
Between my eyes there was an indigo wheel,
between my toes, blond fields.
My hands remembered climbing -trees,
my hair, each Lover’s fingers.
And then  I whispered,
“But why have you made me this way?”
And it was told to me:
“Because I have never had Your name before,
nor heard the way You sing it.
Nor stared into the Universe through eyes like These.
Nor laughed This way, nor felt the path that These te ars take.
Because I have not known These ecstasies
nor risen to These heights, nor experienced
every nuance of the Innocence
with which you create your lows,
nor how a Heart could grow so wide,
or break so easily
or Love
quite so unreasonably.”

THE NINTH CHANGE
HERE IS WHAT  I now understand: Some souls co -create experiences that are clearly (on a
human level) hurtful and damaging to themselves. Nobody can know why they are doing
this.
Maybe they  have come to their present incarnation in order to experience the “other
end” of something they have done to others in a previous lifetime.
Maybe they have come to allow other souls a chance to experience themselves in a
particular way.
Maybe they have co me to provide “players” or “actors” for some larger “scene” in the
whole drama of life, the acting out of which will permit huge numbers of humans to come
to a singular realization at once. (Those who were killed in the 9/11 tragedies come to
mind... as  do the millions murdered in the Holocaust.)
I cannot know, and I cannot pretend to know, the soul -agenda of the people who die of
starvation or are sexually abused or have suffered one loss after the other in their lives or
who in some other way have live d lives of struggle, pain, and sadness.
I can only keen for them, yearn for them to have their suffering end, notice the part of
me that wants no one  to suffer and nothing  to be abused, and, as Mary O’Malley advises, let
my heart break as I do —because as my heart breaks, my heart opens. I can only stand in
honor of them and of their sacrifice and of their journey and of the soul choices they have
made in order to take  their  journey.
Then I can decide who I am  in relationship to them.
Who am I, and who do I choose to be, in relationship to the starving children of the
world? Who am I, and who do I choose to be, in relationship to the oppressed and the
downtrodden? Who am I, a nd who do I choose to be, in relationship to the disaffected and
the disadvantaged, the disavowed and the disconnected, the dispossessed and the
disenfranchised? Who am I and who do I choose to be?
That  is the question. That  is what life gives me an opport unity to decide. And likewise,
who am I and who do I choose to be in relationship to my own incredibly good fortune, the
gifts I have been given, the talents I have been allowed to nurture, the kindnesses I have
been granted, the opportunities I have been offered, the intelligence I have been permitted
to possess, the success I have been able to experience?
What do I want to make of this life, and of my Sacred Self in relationship to it? That  is the
question. That  is what life gives me an opportunity to dec ide. And my life lived  is my
decision and my answer.
You are faced with the same opportunity. And this much I know. The universe is
conspiring in your favor. It is placing before you in every moment all of the right and
perfect people, circumstances, and s ituations with which to answer life’s only question:
Who am I?
Have you decided yet?  As I’m sure you know, there are two ways to decide anything. One way is to decide it,
and the other way is to not decide it. Yet always remember: Not to decide is to decid e.
The important thing is not to allow yourself to be defined by default. If you think you are
making no decision by making no decision, you are making a mistake. If you are not careful,
the biggest decision you will ever make could be the decision you nev er made.
So let’s be clear: all of life is a deciding. You are deciding... with every truth you
embrace, with every thought you birth, with every emotion you express, with every
experience you produce... you are deciding Who You Are and Who You Choos e to Be.
Every act is an act of self -definition.
All the changes in the collective experience of humanity have been created through the
collective experience of humanity —and all the changes in the singular experience of your
life have been created though t he singular experience of your life. I said it before and I’ll say
it again: Life is an energy that feeds off the energy of Life Itself. Life is self -nourishing and
self-creative. Life informs life about life through the process of life itself.
When a chan ge occurs in your life it is because something in your life was not working,
and you sought to change that. You may not think that you did —you may not have any
conscious awareness that you did —but you did, I promise you. You and those who co -
created with y ou.
Let me give you just one example of how this can occur.
A man comes home from work every day in a sour mood about life at the office. He has
come to dislike his job, despise his boss, disrespect his co -workers, and disparage the
whole company. He is a clever man, though, and since he does not yet have even the
slightest prospect of another job, he manages to cover his true feelings very well. He says
nothing untoward, offers no criticism, displays no antipathy, and is seen on the surface as
nothing but a loyal, model employee.
After months of this he is suddenly laid off. Downsized. Let go. He can’t figure it out.
What did he do to deserve this?  Nothing. The answer is, nothing. But he did do something to
create  it. His negative energies, inward and hidde n as they were, created the energy field
from which emerged the outcome with which he is abruptly faced.
Do you believe this? Do you believe that this is the way something like this can happen?
Trust me. This is exactly the way it


, though it isn't absolutely
necessary to eat them in these forms. In keeping with the use of as much raw food as
possible, a good procedure is to eat the eggs raw in a blended drink of some kind,
flavored to suit one's taste.
There was a group of research doctors and dentists who, for at least a dozen years,
had eaten two eggs daily (properly prepared as above), as part of a well-balanced
nutritional program. Tests conducted on these people showed no increase in
cholesterol. In fact, there was a significant decrease in the blood serum cholesterol
level of each individual.
Misconceived beliefs of the orthodox medical world about eating cholesterol-
containing foods have caused countless people to be unduly alarmed about
cholesterol levels and the associated possibility of heart attacks. These
misconceptions, carried on from the early 1950's, have been proven false.
Liver
Liver is a wonderful energy food and cannot be surpassed as a blood builder. It is
especially crucial for leukemia and lymphoma patients, as their blood is unusually
weak. However, all cancer patients can benefit from the intake of raw liver before
noon each day. In the mid 1960s, when Dr. Kelley was told he was in the final stages
of pancreatic and liver cancer, he found that raw liver blended into carrot juice gave
him strength when everything else he ate made him feel ill.
Raw organic, antibiotic-free and hormone-free liver contains a multitude of live
enzymes, amino acids and other intrinsic factors that science has not yet identified,
which are destroyed when the liver is cooked. (References to "intrinsic" or
"unidentified" food factors are fairly common in nutritional literature. They result
from clinical reactions, which cannot be linked to known nutrients. Raw liver for
cancer patients is an excellent example of powerful therapeutic, but unexplained,
effects.) There are no supplements or drugs that can take the place of raw liver; none
are in any way comparable in their effects. Eating raw liver ensures thorough
digestion and the replacement of expended nutrients, promoting excellent health.
Raw liver is best if it is organic, antibiotic-free, hormone-free and not irradiated.
64
Winning The Cancer War
However, if this type of raw liver is unavailable, 3 to 6 TBS of fresh muscle meat,
steaks and ground, may be eaten, raw also, are acceptable even if you buy them at
regular markets. Organically grown and not irradiated is always more nutritious and
preferable. But if organic isn't available, commercial is healthier than none. At least 3
and no more than 6 heaping tablespoons of raw liver should be taken daily.
Chewing the liver is best for proper digestion. However, if masticating it is too
objectionable, it w ill digest well even swallowed whole, if it is sliced into small
enough cubes, and if adequate hydrochloric acid and enzymes are taken.
There are two methods which people find suitable for preparing liver:
1. The liver can be sliced about 1/4 inch thick x 3" long. One can then use
plastic sandwich bags, putting 3 to 6 tablespoons of frozen cubed liver in each
bag and storing them in the freezer for daily eating. This frozen liver may be
chewed or swallowed whole, followed by a sip of juice if desired. Some prefer
to allow the liver to thaw and then to place a spoonful at a time in the mouth
and chew it or swallow it whole with a sip of juice.
2. Liver may be placed in the blender with carrot, pineapple, or tomato juice
(and seasoning of one's preference if desired), blended, strained to remove the
fiber if preferred, and used as a morning "pep-up" drink.
Meat
(cooked and commercially produced)
The cancer patient w ill want to give up cooked and commercially produced meat
such as beef, pork, lamb and fowl immediately (except for raw liver — see above).
Cooked meat is harmful for the cancer patient, as the very same enzymes used in its
digestion are needed for fighting and digesting the cancer. All natural, self-made
enzymes your body can produce should be used to fight the cancer. Commercial
meat should be avoided for another reason; it has a high female sex hormone
content. For commercial reasons most animals, especially beef and fowl produced in
the United States have been fed large quantities of hormones. Since an
overabundance of female sex hormones initiate cancer, meat of this type should be
excluded from the cancer patient's diet.
After being on Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Diet for 9 to 12 months, when
the tumors are under control, one may gradually resume consumption of meat as long
as one's metabolic type requires it. Adequate enzymes and hydrochloric acid are
taken to digest the meat. (see Dr. Kelley's Self Test for the Different Metabolic Types

be extremely wise to make every effort to find a source that can provide meat, which
has been produced without chemical feed, hormones, antibiotics, and pesticide
residues.
P ro te in  A fte r  6 M o n th s  O n  C a n c e r D ie t
After the first six months on Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Diet the cancer
patient must increase the quantity of protein in his diet. At this time not less than sixty
grams of protein daily should be included in the diet. You should, of course, continue
all the above approved protein, but now you may include (or increase) such proteins
as those found in deep sea fish, all forms of seeds, nuts (except peanuts), nut butters,
whole grains, whole grain breads, and homemade, raw (unpasturized) goats' milk
yogurt and/or buttermilk.
Seeds and Sprouts
Raw seeds and sprouts are good foods for cancer patients, and may be eaten after
1:00 p.m. We freely use brown sesame, sunflower and pumpkinseeds. Many people
enjoy sprouted seeds, such as alfalfa and mung beans, buckwheat, wheat and
soybeans.
The most "living foods" are sprouted seeds. When seeds are soaked in water, their
protective enzyme inhibitors are removed and the enzymes, which have been
"asleep," become active, and in three days the nutritional values of the seeds are
increased tremendously. The seeds also become much easier to digest. For the best in
nutrition, be sure to eat your sprouts raw. Eat as many as you desire.
Beans
Dry beans of all types are a good source of food for the cancer patient, and may be
used two or three times a week at anytime of the day. The best way we've found to
prepare them is to cook them at a temperature of 200° F. We place two cups of dried
beans (washed) in a bean pot to which we add five cups of RO filtered or distilled
water, five garlic cloves, two tablespoons of olive oil, 1  teaspoon of sea salt or kelp,
and 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. We place the pot, (covered), in an oven
overnight at 200° F.

He keeps his marriage a secret from his mother, because he is afraid
it might “kill her” or more aptly, he might kill her. He maintains a
separate apartment with all of the household trimmings for the sole
purpose of meeting with his eighty-five-year-old mother every
Sunday. She does not know that he is married and owns his own
home where he lives six days a week. He plays this little game out
of fear and guilt about being married to a “Shiksa.” Although he is
a fully grown man who is highly successful in his own professional
world, he is still controlled by his mother. Each day he talks to her
from his office and lives out his bachelor fantasy.
Parental-and family-associated guilt is the most common strategy
for keeping a rebellious person in tow. The examples above are only
a small sample of the multitude of statements and techniques for
helping a son/daughter to choose guilt (present-moment immobility
over a past event) as the price of genealogy.
Lover- and Spouse-Related Guilt
The “If you loved me” guilt is one way to manipulate a lover. This
tactic is particularly useful when one wants to pun-96 / Your Erroneous Zonesish a partner for some particular behavior. As if love were contingent
upon the right kind of behavior. Whenever one person doesn’t
measure up, guilt can be used to get him back into the fold. He must
feel guilty for not having loved the other.
Grudges, long silences and hurtful looks are useful methods of
engendering guilt. “I’m not talking to you, that’ll fix you” or “Don’t
come near me, how do you expect me to be loving after what you’ve
done?” This is a commonly employed tactic in the case of straying
behavior on the part of one partner.
Often, years after an incident, an action is recalled to help the
other person to choose present-moment guilt. “But don’t forget what
you did in 1951” or “How could I ever trust you again, when you
let me down before?” In this way one partner can manipulate the
other’s present with references to the past. If one partner has finally
forgotten it, the other can periodically bring it up to keep the guilt
feelings about the past behavior current.
Guilt is useful in making a love partner conform to the other’s
demands and standards of behavior. “If you were responsible, you
would have called me” or “That’s the third time I had to empty the
garbage, I guess you just refuse to do your share.” The goal? Getting
one partner to do what the other wants him to. The method? Guilt.
Children-Inspired Guilt
The parental guilt game can be reversed. Guilt can be a two-way
street and children are just as apt to use it in manipulating their
parents as the reverse.
If a child realizes that his parent cannot cope with his being un-
happy and will feel guilty for being a bad parent, the child will often
try to use that guilt to manipulate the parent. A tantrum in the su-
permarket may produce the desired candy. “Sally’s father lets her
do it.” Therefore Sally’s father is a good father and you’re not. “You
don’t love me. If you didTHE USELESS EMOTIONS—GUILT AND WORRY  / 97you wouldn’t treat me this way.” And the ultimate, “I must be ad-
opted. My real parents wouldn’t treat me like this.” All these state-
ments carry the same message. You as a parent ought to feel guilty
for treating me, your child, in this way.
Of course, children learn this guilt-producing behavior by
watching the adults in their world use them to get the things that
they want. Guilt is not a natural behavior. It is a learned emotional
response that can only be used if the victim teaches the exploiter
that he is vulnerable. Children know when you are susceptible. If
they constantly remind you of things that you’ve done, or haven’t
done, for the purpose of getting what they want, then they have
learned the guilt trick. If your children use these tactics, they picked
them up somewhere. Very likely, from you.
School-Inspired Guilt
Teachers are superlative guilt originators, and children, since they
are most suggestible, are excellent subjects for manipulation. These
are some of the guilt messages that produce present-moment unhap-
piness for young people:
“Your mother is really going to be disappointed in you.”
“You should be ashamed of yourself for getting a C—a
smart boy like you.”
“How could you hurt your parents like that, after all
they’ve done for you? Don’t you know how badly they
want you to go to Harvard?”
“You failed the test because you didn’t study, now you’ll
have to live with yourself.”
Guilt is often used in schools to make children learn certain things
or behave in certain ways. And remember that even as an adult you
are a product of those schools.98 / Your Erroneous ZonesChurch-Related Guilt
Religion is often used to produce guilt and therefore manipulate
behavior. Here God is generally the one you have let down. In some
cases the message is that you will be kept out of heaven for having
behaved badly.
“If you loved God, you wouldn’t behave that way.”
“You won’t get into heaven unless you repent for your
sins.”
“You should feel bad because you haven’t gone to church
every week, and if you feel bad enough, perhaps you’ll be
forgiven.”
“You’ve disobeyed one of God’s rules and you should feel
ashamed of yourself.”
Other Institutional Guilt Producers
Most prisons operate on the guilt theory. That is, if a person sits
long enough thinking how bad he’s been, he will be better for the
guilt. Jail sentences for nonviolent crimes such as tax evasion, traffic
citations, civil infractions and the like are examples of this mind-set.
The fact that a strikingly large percentage of inmates return to law-
breaking behavior has done nothing to challenge this belief.
Sit in a jail and feel bad for what you’ve done. This policy is so
expensive and useless that it defies logical explanation. The illogical
explanation, of course, is that guilt  is such an integral part of our
culture, that it is the backbone of our criminal justice system. Rather
than have civil law breakers help society or repay their debts, they
are reformed through guilt-producing incarceration that has no be-
nefit to anyone, least of all the offender.
No amount of guilt, however large, will change past behav-THE USELESS EMOTIONS—GUILT AND WORRY  / 99ior. Moreover, jails are not places where new legal choices are
learned. Instead, they encourage a repetition of illegal behavior by
embittering the prisoner. (The policy of imprisoning dangerous
criminals to protect others is a different issue, and not under discus-
sion here.)
In our society tipping is a practice that has come to reflect not su-
perior service but the guilt of the person served. Effective waiters
and waitresses, cab drivers, bell boys, and other serving employees
have learned that most people cannot handle guilt for not behaving
in the correct way and will tip the standard percentage regardless
of the quality of service received. Thus blatant hand extending, nasty
comments and looks that are designed to wither are all used to
produce guilt and, fast on its heels, the big tip.
Littering, smoking and other unacceptable behavior may be things
that you can be made to feel guilty about. Perhaps you’ve dropped
a cigarette or a paper cup. A stern look by a stranger can send you
into paroxysms of guilt for having behaved in such a crass fashion.
Instead of feeling guilty about something you have already done,
why not simply resolve not to behave in an antisocial manner again.
Dieting is an area that is loaded with guilt. The dieter eats one
cookie and feels bad for a day for having been weak for a moment.
If you are striving to lose weight and give in to counterproductive
behavior, you can learn from it and work at being more effective in
your present moment. But to feel guilty and full of self-reproach is
a waste of time, for, if you feel that way for very long, you are likely
to repeat the excess eating, as your own neurotic way out of your
dilemma.
Sexual Expression Guilt
Perhaps the area where guilt flourishes best in our society is in
the realm of sex. We have already seen how parents engender guilt
in children for sexual acts or thoughts. Adults feel no less100 / Your Erroneous Zonesguilty about matters of sex. People sneak into porno films so that
others won’t know how bad they’ve been. Some people can’t admit
to enjoying oral sex and often feel guilty for even thinking about it.
Sexual fantasies are also effective guilt producers. Many feel bad
about having such thoughts and deny their existence even in private,
or in therapy. In fact, if I had to locate a guilt center in the body, I
would place it in the crotch.
This is only a brief listing of the cultural influences that conspire
to help you choose guilt. Now let’s take a look at the psychological
payoffs for feeling guilt. Keep in mind that whatever the dividend,

I I CHAPTER XXII
AUTO-URINE: NECTAR AND AN ANTI-POISON
There are but two means in the world to preserve and restore
health : (i) milk and (ii) auto-urine. Sage Atreya has given these two
substances a prominent place in Ayurved for the preservation and
restoration of health. here is the substance of Ayurvedic texts on
urine:
11Man1s urine is salty, pungent,.bitter, sweet, light, tonic,
appetizer, digestive, and is an anti-poison and destroyer of worms,
cough, excessive bile, and gas. It -is a laxative. It is a cure of eye
diseases top11• This is what the great Ayurvedic authorities like
Sushrut, Harit, Vagbhatta and others had said about human urine in
their texts.
The use of urine -and milk has been prescribed for all human
diseases by Ayurved. As has been said in different texts of Ayurved
milk and urine are homogeneous with human body as they are its
products. So no objection can be raised to their use for human body.
In Tantric texts, this fluid (urine) has been very frequently prescribed
and it has been mentioned thatone who uses this fluid gets rid of all
his diseases.
Congestion of urine gives much pa:in and even endangers life. So
Ayurved forbids the suppression of urination. Hence its passing out
on urge is but necessary. But there is absolutely no harm in taking
the passed out urine aga:n to get rid of physical disorders. No where
does Ayurved prohibit the use of urine. Vagbhatta says that there is
nothing in this world which cannot be used as medicine. The only
thing required is that it should be utilised with commo[l sense..
An Anti-poison : Lord Sushrut has mentioned auto-urine as an
anti-poisonous substance and.a good tonic. Snake-charmers keep a
bowlful of urine handy while catching a snake so that he may be
able to drink and apply it without loss of time in case of a
166 I
AUTO-URINE: NECTAR AND AN ANT-POSION : 167
snake-bite. In Shivambu-Kalp, it is said that one who drinks urine
regularly for six months becomes immune to snake-poiso~. The
same is the opinion of may Jain monks and other sadhus. It IS very
essential that anything read, heard or _spoken should be thoroughly
investigated and examined scientifically before presenting it to the ·
people for the common welfare. I have always been anxious to have
direct and definite proofs that urine has anti-poisionous qualities. In
the meanwhile Shri Chandrankant came in my contact. He had been
an ardent social worker of Kapadvanj and had come in to close
relation with an ascetic Vivekanand Saraswati whom he often
visited. Shri Parikh suffered from fever and catarrh. He could not get
rid of these complaints in spite of various treatments. At last he
resorted to urine cure. He started rinking and rubbing urine and was
cured within a week. Later he·informed the Swamiji about his urine
experiment and subsequent cure. Swamiji welcomed the news an~
said : 11Urine is a nectar.11 Thereafter Swamiji related a number of h1s
personal experinces with urine.
On 30-9-59 Shri Chandrakant Patikh accompanied me to see
Swamiji. At the first sight Swamiji appeared to me to be 55 but later
on it was revealed that he was 78. We had a good deal of talks. He
related: 11ln my native place Bareilly, (U.P.),there is a custom to ~ive
auto-urine in case of snake-bite. It is said that Chandan Goh 1s a
highly poisonous creature and· that there is no remedy for its bite.
One beaten by it definitely loses his life. But auto-urine ~as the
power of nullifying the effect of the poison of this creature too. This
fact has been ascertained by a number of incidents which took place
in my native place.
11There was a person who illegally dealt in opium. This was
disliked by his wife and she daily used to ask her husband to give up
the disreputable profession. But the latter would not listen. At last the
wife became desperate. In the absence of her husband, she came to
lay her hands upon nearly 30 gms. of opium which she dissolved in
water and drank-it. Consequently she fainted within half an hour. As
soon as her. husband returned home he was at once very anxious (

abou_t his wife's condition. It was almost evening. He came to me
ru~nmg and narrated the whole incident. I asked him to collect the
ur~ne ~assed by the boys in the neighbourhood and make his wife
dnnk_ 1t the whole night. Following my advice he collected urine of
about 15 boys in the locality and gave it to his wife the whole night.
She came to her senses in the morning and her life was saved."
Swamiji n_ar:ated another incident : "Ahmedabad Municipality
had started killmg stray dogs by poisoning. Unfortunately my dog
al~ got involved in that by chance. My dog took his share of
pmsoned swe:ts from other dogs by force. Consequently he too was
affected by po1son. ~she came to me staggering, 1 at once suspected
th~t ~e had been po1soned. So I made him drink a glassful of urine.
W1th1n a short time the effect of poison disappeared."
Apart from the above incidents, Swamiji quoted a number of
other illustrations about his successful experiments with urine. ·
CHAPTER XXIII
TOOTHACHE
~anu~hai too C~nverted: An interesting episode took place one
even1ng 1n our soc1ety regarding urine. Some young workers of
Ahmedabad Congress_ take a good deal of interest in criticizing urine
therapy. They have n1cknamed auto-urine as "Kaka-Cola" in fun. So
whenever somebody complained of any minor trouble, they at once
recommended "Kaka-Cola"! I enjoyed their remarks. One night
a~ut 9 p.m., _all these friends were sitting in a house in my
ne1ghbourhood 1n Panchsheel Society where 1 lived and these were
gossiping heartily. Shri Manubhai Patel, organizer of Gujarat
~r~desh Sevadal and once a Deputy Minister of the State, was also
s1ttmg along with them. He was suffering from toothache for the past
one month an_d as the gums started bleeding, he consulted a dentist.
The doctor suspected pyorrho~a, which meant extracting the full set TOOTHACHE : 169
of teeth. Shri Manubhai was narrating this story when I reached
there. 1 suggested to him urine treatment. He interrupted me an~ said
· that he had no faith in it and a hearty joke followed. Accord1ng to
him it would be advisable to channelize all municipal urinals
towards urine therapy centre and there to bottle urine on a mass
scale label it 'Kaka-Cola' and to put it in the market and make an
additlonal source of income to the Ahmedabad Municipality! All his
friends sitting there had a very hearty laugh at th_is big joke at_ my
cost! Even then 1 insiSted upon an urine-pack on h1s gums that mght.
My request did not appeal to him and so he kept silent. B~t ~e
got at 5 a.m. and per force applied a urine-pack due to acute pa1n In
the tooth and.then slept again. When he got up at 5 a.m., he
experienced a magical effect. There was great relief and the entire.
pain had vanished.
Consequently, the amagol'lism that Shri Manubhai was
harbouring against urine therapy evaporated by this experience. He
related this experience to his friends with great eAtnusiasm.
Shri MaAUbhai then continued the treatment. He pressed out foul
blood and mucus from the gums and went on taking mouth-washes
with urine. He also drank it a little and by the fourth day he was al1
rtght. Later on a friend of Shri Man!Jbhai·'·s company told me joking :
