iotic bacteria. Give the probiotic first
thing in the morning, between food or after food when the stomach acid is
at its lowest.
Apart from supplementing stomach acid there are natural things we can
do to stimulate the body to produce its own stomach acid. Cabbage juice is
one of the strongest stimulants. Having a few spoonfuls of cabbage juice or
a small cabbage salad before the meal will help to digest that meal.
Sauerkraut and its juice are even stronger. A small helping of sauerkraut or
a few tablespoons of its juice will prepare the stomach for the arriving food.
Having a cup of home-made meat stock with your meal will also help to
increase stomach acidity. With children the easiest thing to do is to give
them a cup of home-made meat stock with a few spoonfuls of sauerkraut
juice or cabbage juice mixed in it. 2. Pancreatic Enzymes
These are the enzymes that people are talking about when they say "diges
tive enzymes". They usually include a mixture of proteases, peptidases,
lipases, amylase, lactase and cellulase, which normally would be breaking
down your food in the small intestine. In a healthy digestive tract most of
these enzymes are produced by the pancreas. If we can restore normal
stomach acidity then this stage in digestion should go without any prob
lem, because the stomach acid would trigger the pancreas to produce its
own enzymes. That is why I consider restoring the stomach acid level far
more important than supplementingparicreatic enzymes.
There has been a polemic in autistic circles about supplementing some
peptidases and proteases to replace the diet (meaning the GFCF diet, of
course). The idea was that these enzymes would break down gluten and
casein, so that there would be no need to struggle with implementing the
diet. Not surprisingly this approach did not work for the majority of
people, because enzymes can never replace a diet. The diet, which we
describe in this book is designed to heal the gut and to re-establish normal
gut flora. No enzyme can do that!
Generally in my clinical experience I see a lot of improvement from sup
plementing stomach acid. However, I do not see much happening from
supplementing pancreatic enzymes. If the patient feels that they really
help then there is no reason why he or she should not take them, providing
the tablet does not contain fillers or binders which may interfere with the
healing processes in the gut. In my experience the majority of patients do
very well with just supplementing stomach acid, because it will trigger pro
duction of their own pancreatic enzymes through secretin and cholecys
tokinin, as well as triggering bile secretion and many other important
players in the digestive process, making it far more natural.
Digestive enzymes do not need to be taken permanently. As the gut
starts healing the person can slowly withdraw the stomach acid supple
mentation and/or pancreatic enzymes, taking them only with heavy meals
or if something not allowed on the diet has been eaten. 5. VITAMIN AND
MINERAL SUPPLEMENTATION
A vitamin is a substance that makes you ill
if you don't eat it.
Albert von Szent-Gyorgi (1893-1986)
Hungarian-bom US biochemist
GAPS patients have many nutritional deficiencies, so it is a natural desire
to get rid of them. The question is: how?
Is it a matter of simply testing how much magnesium, for example, a
person is missing and then supplementing that amount? Or is it a matter of
taking a supplement "specifically designed" for autism or ADHD or
schizophrenia, using the "one size fits all" approach? Maybe we should just
give megadoses of all the nutrients, which the person is deficient in,
hoping that the body will sort it all out?
Many health practitioners turn to testing for nutritional deficiencies. For
every nutrient there are optimal tests, which are considered to give the
most accurate information about that particular nutrient, and there are
less optimal tests, which may be quite misleading. Trying to use the most
optimal test for every nutrient is impractical and can be very expensive. So,
usually one or two tests are performed for all the nutrients at once, which
does not represent the true picture. So, trying to work out a nutritional
supplementation protocol based on these tests is shaky from the start.
On top of that, many supplements on the market have a very low
absorption rate, some about 9%, so the amount the patient's body would
actually get can be way below what it says on the bottle. But, of course, the
majority of manufacturers would not tell you on the bottle how low the
absorption rate of their supplement is, even if they knew. So, choosing a
supplement can be quite difficult.
Absorption of supplements is a complicated process which, apart from
the quality of the supplement, also depends on the state of the patient's
digestive system. Two different people may absorb different amounts of
nutrients from the same supplement. GAPS digestive system is generally
not in good shape and may not absorb any of those nutrients particularly
well.
To complicate the whole matter even further, many nutrients compete
for absorption sites in the gut. So, if we supplement too much calcium, for example, it may impair absorption of other nutrients: magnesium, zinc,
copper, iron, some amino acids and others, creating deficiencies in those
nutrients.
Indeed this is a very confusing area of nutrition. The truth is nobody
knows how to prescribe vitamins and minerals because we do not have
enough research or knowledge on this subject. Every nutritionist or medi
cal practitioner has his/her own collection of favourite supplements and
that is what they usually use on most of their patients. lust as with main
stream psychiatry, where drugs are used mostly on a trial-and-error basis,
the same method is used in prescribing vitamin and mineral supplements.
Taking vitamin and mineral supplements has become very common not
only because many of us take "health-pills", but because a lot of foods are
fortified with vitamins and minerals to compensate for the loss of those
nutrients in the food processing, not to mention the fact that many foods
are grown using intensive farming techniques, which makes them nutrient
poor from the start. Unfortunately, a lot of these supplemented nutrients
are synthetic. The body has been designed to use natural forms of these
nutrients and often does not recognise the synthetic forms and does not
know what to do with them. There is a growing suspicion that a lot of cases
of kidney stones, for example, are caused by supplementing synthetic
forms of vitamin C, which would represent most vitamin C supplements
available in the shops.
There is a highly publicised opinion that in our modem world we cannot
be healthy without taking nutritional supplements, because our diet
cannot provide us with optimal amounts of nutrients. Indeed, if you live on
cereal and toast for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and a standard dinner
you will not provide your body with optimal amounts of nutrition and you
will have to take supplements. The diet, which is described in this book,
will provide you with concentrated amounts of nutrition in a natural form,
which the body recognises and knows what to do with. luicing will add
more concentrated amounts of vitamins, minerals and other useful sub
stances. A good probiotic on average increases absorption rate of nutrients
from food by 50% or more. On top of that probiotic bacteria are supposed
to be the main source of vitamins B, K, bio tin and many other substances
in the body. Indeed, that is the first group of nutritional deficiencies which
usually disappear when the patient starts taking therapeutic doses of a
strong probiotic. The diet and probiotic will start healing the digestive
system, so the patient will start absorbing the nutrients from the food
properly. Another important point we have to consider when it comes to our GAPS
patients is that their digestive system is inflamed and damaged. A lot of
synthetic supplements, fillers and binders in tablets and capsules will
aggravate and irritate already sensitive GAPS gut lining and interfere with
the healing process. I have seen many patients who put a lot of effort into
implementing the diet, but would not achieve the best results until they
removed most of their supplements.
That is why I normally do not recommend any vitamin or mineral sup
plementation at the beginning of the programme. I recommend putting
most effort into implementing the diet first and starting the healing pro
cess in the gut. Once the digestive system starts working properly in many
patients their nutritional deficiencies disappear without any supplemen
tation! They disappear the natural way through the body sorting it out for
itself.
Of course, aU patients are different and some of them require targeted
supplementation. But that is a matter for a qualified practitioner to decide.
Here are some important points to keep in mind.
• Choose supplements without any ingredients which may aggravate
the gut condition. Supplements in a liquid form are better than in
powder, tablet or capsule. Substances, which are not allowed on the
diet, should also be out.
• Choose supplements with a high absorption rate, for example, vita
min and mineral supplements with added fulvic acid. Fulvic acid (not
to be confused with folic acid) is produced by bacteria in soil. It can
ensure

Hormones
(from
the
Greek
word
hormao
-
to
encourage)
are
highly
active
substances
that,
even
in
low
concentrations,
influence
metabolism
in
the
body,
such
as
development,
growth,
aging,
behavior,
reproductive
functions,
etc.
It
is
enough
to
not
receive
a
single
hormone
(only
our
brain
it
produces
about
500)
or
for
one
to
reside,
and
the
activity
of
the
entire
organism
will
be
strongly
disturbed.
Hormones
are
produced
by
the
endocrine
system,
which
can
be
roughly
divided
into
two
parts
-
glands
with
internal
secretion,
which
are
separate
organs,
and
endocrine
cells,
scattered
in
the
epithelial
(lining)
tissues
of
the
mucous
membrane
of
the
stomach,
intestines,
gallbladder,
lungs,
urinary
tract,
skin,
etc.
Accurate
the
number
of
hormones
is
unknown,
every
year
more
and
more
hormones
are
discovered,
as
well
as
the
places
of
their
origin.
The
time
is
not
far
when
it
will
be
discovered
that
every
cell
of
our
body
produces
some
hormonal
substance.
Again
I
bow
with
humility
and
wonder
at
the
fantastic
coordination
and
sophistication
of
all
the
organs
of
our
body,
and
repeat
again
that
its
innate
intelligence
is
disproportionately
greater
than
our
thinking
mind.
Therefore,
one
should
approach
it
with
respect
and
not
destroy
so
quickly
and
barbarically
the
miracle
that
was
given
to
it
by
a
huge
chance
for
a
second
of
eternity.In
addition
to
hormones,
biologically
and
chemically
active
substances
can
be
formed
in
tissues
and
organs
-
parahormones.
They
are
also
called
tissue
hormones
or
biogenic
stimulators.
In
medicine,
hormones
are
obtained
from
the
endocrine
glands
of
slaughter
cattle,
blood
and
urine
of
animals
and
humans,
as
well
as
by
artificial
synthesis.
The
hormonal
(endocrine)
system
has
its
own
hierarchy
and
regulation.
It
includes
nerve
centers
located
in
the
brain
(structures
of
the
limbic
system,
the
area
of
  the
hypothalamus
and
pituitary
gland),
as
well
as
channels
of
direct
connection
(nervous
activity
stimulates
the
pituitary
gland
and
it
produces
tropic
hormones,
which
then
selectively
stimulate
the
secretion
(excretion)
of
hormones
in
one
or
another
gland),
as
well
as
channels
feedback
loops,
where
hormones
circulating
in
the
bloodstream
affect
the
hypothalamus
and
pituitary
gland,
thus
strengthening
or
weakening
their
activity.
The
hierar chy
of
the
hormonal
system
is
as
follows:
1)
Hypothalamus
consists
of
32
pairs
of
nuclei,
each
of
which
has
its
own
functional
significance.
The
hypothalamus
controls
the
main
processes
inside
the
organism,
it
regulates
the
activity
of
glands
with
internal
secretion
through
the
tropic
hormones
of
the
pituitary
gland.
These
include
thyroid-stimulating
hormones
activating
the
thyroid
gland,
adrenocorticotropic
-
activating
the
adrenal
cortex,
gonadotropic
-
activating
the
gonads.
The
importance
of
the
hypothalamus
is
enormous,
but
during
aging,
changes
also
take
place
in
the
individual
nuclei,
and
then
the
functions
become
out
of
tune
and,
ultimately,
the
reliability
of
the
control
of
the
organism's
internal
environment
is
reduced.
Professor
V.
Dilman,
for
example,
assumes
that
an
increase
in
the
sensitivity
threshold
of
the
hypothalamus
to
sex
hormones
leads
to
the
fact
that,
with
age,
more
and
more
sonadotropins
are
secreted,
which
influence
the
formation
of
sex
hormones.
In
his
book
"The
Great
Biological
Clock"
he
states
the
following
facts
-
at
45
years,
sonadotropin
secretion
increases
6-10
times
compared
to
25
years.
Increasing
the
threshold
of
sensitivity
to
sex
hormones
initially
leads
to
the
fact
that
sonadotropin
accumulates
in
the
body,
contributes
to
its
sexual
maturation
and
the
involvement
of
reproductive
functions.
Furthermore,
this
process
leads
to
oversaturation
of
the
body
with
sex
hormones
and
subsequently
to
climacteric
changes,
the
growth
of
tumors
and
the
termination
of
sexual
function
due
to
the
inability
to
produce
such
an
amount
of
hormones.
Our
body
thus
works
like
a
factory
for
the
production
of
mass
production,
more
and
more,
and
at
the
same
time
its
equipment
wears
out,
there
is
not
enough
building
material.
However,
if
the
increased
amount
of
hormones
excreted
in
the
urine
is
reintroduced,
then
we
save
this
living
factory
both
equipment
(gonads)
and
building
material.
In
such
a
case,
the
wear
and
tear
of
the
organism,
and
thus
old
age
and
associated
diseases,
can
be
postponed
by
many
years.
This
fact
is
contained
in
the
old
Shivambukalpa
texts
where
it
is
said
that
“both
men
and
women
if
they
receive
urine
regularly,
they
gain
full
potency
and
eliminate
the
signs
of
aging".
2)
Pituitary
gland.
A
gland
that
weighs
1.5
grams
and
consists
of
three
parts:
front,
middle
and
back.
Limitation
of
the
activity
of
the
front
section
causes
the
cessation
of
growth,
fattening,
atrophy
of
the
genitals
and
prostate.
In
addition,
the
hormones
of
the
anterior
pituitary
gland
regulate
the
activity
of
other
endocrine
glands.
The
middle
section
secretes
pigment
hormone.
Decreased
activity
of
the
posterior
part
of
the
pituitary
gland
leads
to
impaired
kidney
function
and
diabetes.
The
hormones
of
this
section
affect
blood
pressure
and
smooth
muscle
tone.
A
significant
part
of
the
organism's
deviations
from
normal
development
is
induced
poor
functioning
of
the
pituitary
gland.
However,
if
we
correct
its
work,
give
it
the
right
impulse,
then
its
functions
will
stabilize.
After
all,
the
basis
of
the
work
of
the


	heavy	cigarette
smoking,	drinking	coffee	every	day,	ingesting	soda,	eating	large	quantities	of	animal
protein	and	animal	fats,	and	subjecting	oneself	to	x-ray	radiation,	cytotoxic	drugs,	aspirin,
and	other	anti-inflammatory	drugs.	Food	poisoning,	highly	spiced	foods,	iced	beverages,
dehydration,	and	emotional	stress	also	cause	gastric	distress.	All	of	these	also	cause
gallstones	in	the	liver	and	gallbladder,	thereby	starting	off	a	vicious	cycle	and	creating
major	disruptions	throughout	the	GI	tract.	In	the	final	event,	malignant
stomach	tumors
may	be	formed.

Most	medical	doctors	now	believe	that	a	“bug”	(
H.	pylori
)	causes	stomach	ulcers.Combating	the	bug	with	antibiotic	drugs	usually	brings	relief	and	stops	the	ulcer.
Although	the	drug	does	not	prevent	the	ulcer	from	returning	after	discontinuation,	there	is
a	high	“recovery”	rate.	Still,	such	“recoveries”	may	cause	side	effects	that	are	often
serious.

The	infection	by	the
H.	pylori
	bug	is	only	possible	because	factors	other	than	a
normally	harmless	germ	have	already	weakened	and	damaged	the	stomach	cells.	In	a
healthy	stomach,	the	same	bug	turns	out	to	be	completely	innocuous.	Most	of	us	have
lived	with	this	bug	without	ever	being	troubled	by	it.	This	brings	up	an	important
question:	Why	does	the	same	bug	cause	an	ulcer	in	some	people	and	not	in	others?	As
mentioned	before,	gallstones	in	the	liver	and	gallbladder	can	cause	intestinal	congestion
and	thereby	lead	to	frequent	back-flushing	of	bile	and	toxins	into	the	stomach,	which	may
injure	an	ever-increasing	number	of	stomach	cells.	Antibiotics	destroy	the	natural	stomach
flora,	including	those	bacteria	that	normally	help	to	break	down	damaged	cells.	Although
the	antibiotic	approach	results	in	a	quick	relief	of	symptoms,	it	also	lowers	stomach
performance	permanently,	which	sets	up	the	body	for	more	severe	challenges	than	just
dealing	with	an	ulcer.
1
	Shortcuts	to	healing	rarely	pay	off.	On	the	other	hand,	most
stomach	disorders	disappear	spontaneously	when	all	existing	gallstones	are	removed	and	a
healthy	diet	and	balanced	lifestyle	are	followed	regularly.
	Diseases	of	the	Pancreas

The	pancreas	is	a	small	gland	with	its	head	lying	in	the	curve	of	the	duodenum.	Its	main
duct	joins	the	common	bile	duct	to	form	what	is	known	as	the
ampulla
	of	the	bile	duct.
The	ampulla	enters	the	duodenum	at	its	midpoint.	Apart	from	secreting	the	hormones
insulin
	and
glucagon,
	the	pancreas	produces
pancreatic	juice,
	which	contains	enzymes
that	digest	carbohydrates,	proteins,	and	fats.	When	the	acidic	contents	from	the	stomach
enter	the	duodenum,	they	combine	with	alkaline	pancreatic	juice	and	bile.	This	creates	the
proper	acid-alkaline	balance	(pH-value)	at	which	the	pancreatic	enzymes	are	most
effective.

Gallstones	in	the	liver	or	gallbladder	cut	bile	secretions	from	the	normal	amount	of	one
quart	or	more	per	day,	to	as	little	as	one	cup	or	less	per	day.	This	severely	disrupts	the
digestive	process,	particularly	when	fats	or	fat-containing	foods	are	consumed.
Subsequently,	the	duodenal	pH	remains	too	low,	which	inhibits	the	action	of	pancreatic
enzymes,	as	well	as	those	secreted	by	the	small	intestine.	The	net	result	is	that	food	is	only
partially	digested.	Improperly	digested	food	that	is	saturated	with	the	stomach’s
hydrochloric	acid	can	have	a	very	irritating,	caustic	effect	on	the	entire	intestinal	tract.

If	a	gallstone	has	moved	from	the	gallbladder	into	the	ampulla,	where	the	common	bile
duct	and	the	pancreatic	ducts	combine	(see
Figure	3
),	the	release	of	pancreatic	juice
becomes	obstructed	and	bile	moves	into	the	pancreas.	This	causes	a	number	of	protein-
splitting	pancreatic	enzymes,	which	are	normally	activated	only	in	the	duodenum,	to	be
activated	while	still	in	the	pancreas.	This	makes	these	enzymes	highly	destructive.	They
begin	to	digest	parts	of	the	pancreatic	tissue,	which	can	lead	to	infection,	suppuration,	and
local	thrombosis.	This	condition	is	known	as
pancreatitis.

Gallstones	obstructing	the	ampulla	release	bacteria,	viruses,	and	toxins	into	the
pancreas,	which	can	cause	further	damage	to	pancreatic	cells,	and	eventually	lead	to
malignant	tumors.
	The	tumors	occur	mostly	in	the	head	of	the	pancreas,	where	they
inhibit	the	flow	of	bile	and	pancreatic	juice.	This	condition	is	often	accompanied	by
jaundice
	(for	more	details	see
Diseases	of	the	Liver
	below).

Gallstones	in	the	liver,	gallbladder,	and	ampulla	may	also	be	partly	responsible	for	both
types	of
diabetes:
	insulin-dependent	and	non-insulin-dependent.	All	patients	of	mine	with
diagnosed	diabetes,	including	children,	have	had	large	quantities	of	stones	in	their	liver.
Each	liver	cleanse	further	improved	their	condition,	provided	that	they	followed	a	healthy
daily	regimen	and	diet	devoid	of	animal	products.

	Diseases	of	the	Liver

The	liver	is	the	largest	gland	in	the	body.	It	weighs	up	to	three	pounds,	is	suspended
behind	the	ribs	on	the	upper	right	side	of	the	abdomen,	and	spans	almost	the	entire	width
of	the	body.	Being	responsible	for	hundreds	of	different	functions,	it	is	also	the	most
complex	and	active	organ	in	the	body.

Since	the	liver	is	in	charge	of	processing,	converting,	distributing,	and	maintaining	the
body’s	vital	“fuel”	supply	(for	example,	nutrients	and	energy),	anything	that	interferes
with	these	functions	must	have	a	serious,	detrimental	impact	on	the	health	of	the	liver	and
the	body	as	a	whole.	The	strongest	interference	stems	from	the	presence	of	gallstones.

Besides	manufacturing	cholesterol—an	essential	building	material	of	organ	cells,
hormones,	and	bile—the	liver	also	produces	hormones	and	proteins	that	affect	the	way	the
body	functions,	grows,	and	heals.	Furthermore,	it	makes	new	amino	acids
3
	and	converts
existing	ones	into	proteins.	These	proteins	are	the	main	building	blocks	of	the	cells,
hormones,	neurotransmitters,	genes,	and	so	forth.	Other	essential	functions	of	the	liver
include	breaking	down	old,	worn-out	cells;	recycling	proteins	and	iron;	and	storing
vitamins	and	nutrients.	Gallstones	are	a	hazard	to	all	these	vital	tasks.

In	addition	to	breaking	down	alcohol	in	the	blood,	the	liver	also	detoxifies	noxious

A beginner in this practice is apt to commit the error of being overconfident that he can cut off the desire/thoughts anytime  he
wishes. He will thus allow himself the liberty of dwelling on the sensations of visualizing, eating and enjoying the food he wishes
to avoid. He continues in this manner for just a few minutes and before he knows it the trap has been sprung.
The next thing he is aware of is that he is saying to himself, "Oh I know that I can give it up. Today is not a good day for this. I'm
a little nervous now. I will give it up tomorrow without fail." He has lost the battle already.
If he has exceptional willpower, he will cut off all id entification with the desire here, and steel himself to the importance of the
desired goal. And after a struggle against his emotions, he may succeed.

EMOTIONS ARE STRONGER THAN REASON
What has happened here? The explanation is this - once the strong sens es or emotions are aroused, the intellect or the
reasoning faculty becomes overshadowed. The emotions are stronger than the reason and tend to have the final say.
The logical sense becomes its slave and begins to justify the emotional behavior with false l ogic. It finds all kinds of
rationalizations to justify the fulfillment of the desire at that moment, the chief one being procrastination (starting self -control
later or tomorrow).
The emotions have conquered! Hours later, after you have satisfied your desires, you reflect on what has happened. Once your
emotions have subsided you realize very clearly that you have been tricked. This can happen over and over again daily even fo r
years.
I know one fellow who has been rationalizing for ten years and anothe r who has fallen into this trap for fifteen years - always
starting tomorrow.
Whatever you do; - don't play this game. Watch your thoughts at all times whenever you are in the presence of temptation and
don't let yourself get aroused.
After a few weeks or less these temptations will begin to subside and you'll be able to relax your alertness with increasing
safety. However, it is wise to be alert to the mind's tricks until you are firmly anchored in the new desired habit.

BE VERY ALERT TO NEGATIVE THOUGHTS
With just a little practice you will develop the knack of immediately dispelling undesired thoughts just as quickly as they a rise;
with almost no effort. It is simply a matter of learning how and where to place your attention.
Through continued practice y ou will become very alert to all negative thoughts and you will be able to use this technique in ALL
departments of life to achieve self -mastery with ease. The simplicity of this technique is amazing. You will instantly be able to
succeed in overcoming emo tions which have victimized you for years.

TECHNIQUE FOR RIGHT THOUGHT -HABITS
I know of several other people who struggled for years trying to get up enough willpower to overcome bad habits. Some had
very strong wills and would succeed for a period of tim e, but when they became careless and dwelled upon their previous bad
habit -cravings, their emotions took over and they were pulled back into doing the wrong things.

DON'T PLAY WITH UNDESIRABLE THOUGHTS...
Shun them as you would the plague. Only when you h ave become well established in the right habit pattern is it safe to play
with memories of food or habit addictions.
To reach a safe plateau involves time - weeks for some and months for most people. Even then, don't do it. There's no point to
it. Put your  mind on the habits you want to cultivate and keep it there - always - whenever you think of the subject.
Just do the right things and keep doing them until they become a habit. Then you will become addicted to the right habits and
reap the inevitable rewa rd; joyous health, happiness and peace of mind at all times.

EASY TO MASTER TEMPTATIONS
Once you put this technique into operation, you will be amazed at how easy it becomes to master even the most difficult
temptations.
To repeat, all it requires is an a lert attention. If you switch your attention immediately as you recognize the enemy thoughts, you
will always win without fail.
I would have gladly given all that I had as a young lad to have learned this method. I could have avoided all those years of
suffering and struggling with willpower and all of its attendant misery. It was a blessed day for me when my eyes were opened
by studying the philosophical writings of Paul Brunton, wherein this profound truth of the nature of mind was revealed.
May Eternal I ntelligence forever bless those great souls of all ages, who have condescended to share their best thoughts,
experiences, and meditations with us. Let us open our hearts and minds to their wise counsel as we reach toward happiness.

WITH OTHER PEOPLE
A few  words on how to cope with temptation when you're out with friends may be helpful here.
If you're out socially with people and they converse about food or indulge in eating, which includes those foods you are tryi ng to
avoid, it is wise to stay out of the conversation and put your mind on another far -removed subject to avoid temptation.
If they engage you in the conversation directly, try to introduce another subject. You may comment on how nice this suit look s -
"where did you get it?" etc. An easy way to change a subject is to ask an opinion on a current idea or subject as a stock, a
quotation or news article that may interest them.

 copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648 -1500    www.drbass.com                                               29

If they directly confront you with the question of why you don't join them with a particular food, simply state that you're n ot
hungry now, and try to change the subject. It can be done skillfully quite easily.
The idea is to stay away f rom the undesired subject in order to avoid any emotional involvement with temptation. It may be
advisable to avoid social gatherings for a few weeks until you get accustomed to your new routine. Then, when you socialize,
play it safe by using the above te chniques so that they don't try to pressure you into conformity.

SHORT -CIRCUIT TECHNIQUE
There is another method which is closely allied to the one mentioned in this article which is equally worthy of serious study. This
is a technique that has been taugh t from time immemorial by great sage -philosophers to their disciples. It is the system that
was taught by Gurdjieff and Ouspensky to their students in recent times. This method, while it is simple requires persistence  in
practice and ultimately leads to pr ofound self -revelation about how we function on all levels.
This practice may also be used to overcome any undesirable habit -response of feeling, emotion or thought. You try to develop
the habit of watching your own feelings, emotions or thoughts. Just obs erving them short -circuits their hold on you. It makes you
objective to them and instantly breaks any emotional attachment or identification.
You will be amazed at how much you find out about yourself and your behavior response patterns. You will learn more in a few
hours of alert watching than by reading ten books on psychology. You will become aware of facets of your behavior that you
never dreamed existed.

GREATER SELF -CONTROL AND FREEDOM
When you watch yourself you'll find many thoughts arising that  you don't like, and will want to change.
One can, however, only change those thoughts that one is aware of.
In order to become aware, start by watching your own thoughts and you will automatically change your behavior.
Become more conscious by watching yo ur thoughts, and you will start to improve every facet of your functioning existence.
It will not make you "self -conscious" in its negative sense or neurotic, but instead will lead you to greater awareness, self -control
and freedom from the tyranny of unde sired random thought.

Energy - How Acquired and Lost in the Body

"The more we eat, the more exhausted and sleepy we become. Any energy we experience immediately
after eating (such as sweets) is the expenditure of energy, not its accumulation."

BREATHING SUSTAINS ENERGY
The basic force and condition behind all activities of human life is the presence of energy. Energy is required for every aspect of
existence - every act uses energy - thinking, feeling, walking, eating, drinking, dreaming, breathing etc. We are born with a
reserve of energy stored in all cells, which needs to be steadily replenished with breathing at all times.
If breathing were to stop, death would ensue in a matter of minutes.

REDUCED BREATHING
In hibernation or coma, breathing is greatly reduced because of reduced use of energy expenditure, as compared to ordinary
function.
Suspended animation is a different type of condi tion, wherein some yogis using certain breathing techniques, are able to store
enough oxygen in the cells to remain alive even though all bodily function has ceased, and to remain so for months at a time.

INHALED AIR AND SUBTLE ENERGY PRINCIPLE
According to


Behavior
showed	NSAIDs	interfere	with
melatonin	production,	with	a	75	percent	nighttime	reduction.	Decreased
melatonin	production	has	been	associated	with	sleep	disorders	as	well	as
promotion	of	cancer.
•	A	1996	study	in
Lancet
showed	that	aspirin,	in	any	form,	such	as	buffered
or	coated,	causes	gastrointestinal	bleeding.	As	few	as	one	aspirin	can	cause
bleeding.
NSAIDs	cause	intestinal	bleeding	by	blocking	action	of	messenger	molecules
called	prostaglandins.	Some	prosta-glandins	cause	inflammation	and	pain,	and
others	stimulate	healing	and	repair.	NSAIDs	block	both	types.	Because	the
intestinal	lining	is	renewed	very	rapidly	(about	every	three	days),	blocking	the
repair	process	results	in	a	gut	that	is	weak,	inflamed	and	leaky.
What	should	you	do	for	a	headache?	Simple	acupressure	techniques	and
homeopathic	remedies	work	quite	well.	What	should	you	do	for	pain	or
inflammation?	Eat	a	whole-foods	diet,	at	least	75	percent	raw.	Avoid	sugar,
white	flour,	hydrogenated	oils,	junk	foods	and	colas,	and	drink	plenty	of	pure
water.	Avoid	meat	and	dairy,	but	choose	oily	fish	such	as	salmon	(ocean
harvested,	rather	than	farmed).	Take	vitamin	C	up	to	bowel	tolerance,	2	to	4
grams	of	quercitin	per	day,	30	to	60	mg	of	zinc	daily,	100,000	units	of	beta-
carotene	for	several	days,	and	then	25,000	for	several	weeks,	plus	vitamin	A	and
vitamin	E.	Essential	fatty	acid	supplements	also	are	critical.	Digestive	enzymes
help,	and	especially	take	1	to	3	grams	of	bromelain	or	papain	per	day.	A	number
of	herbs	as	well	as	homeopathic	remedies	are	anti-inflammatory.	These	are
excellent	alternatives	to	NSAIDs.
Antibiotics:
Most	of	us	have	been	given	an	antibiotic	at	one	time	or	another,
and	this	contributes	to	one	of	our	largest	sources	of	toxins—those	generatedwithin	our	own	digestive	systems.	Antibiotics	are	designed	to	kill	disease-
causing	bacteria,	but	they	also	kill	the	friendly	bacteria	in	our	digestive	systems.
If	these	bacteria	are	absent	or	out	of	balance,	a	chain	of	unhealthy	events	is
initiated,	including	undigested	or	mal-absorbed	food.	Beneficial	intestinal
bacteria	produce	needed	vitamins,	such	as	B-complex	vitamins,	vitamin	B
12
and
vitamin	K.	These	essential	nutrients	are	no	longer	produced	when	the	friendly
bacteria	are	displaced,	and	vitamin	deficiency	can	result.
In	addition,	friendly	bacteria	prevent	undesirable	yeasts	from	proliferating	by
competing	for	food	and	producing	biotin	to	inhibit	yeast	growth.	When
antibiotics	kill	beneficial	bacterial,	undesirable	yeasts	and	bacteria	thrive	and
take	over,	establishing	their	own	ecosystem.	This	inhibits	the	beneficial	bacteria
from	reestablishing	themselves.	Yeasts	also	produce	numerous	immune-reactive
substances	that	force	the	immune	system	to	form	antibodies	constantly.	This
stress	may	lead	to	impaired	functioning	of	the	immune	system	to	the	point	of
immune	suppression	or	even	breakdown.	Also,	yeasts	inhibit	magnesium
absorption	(which	can	lead	to	numerous	neurological	problems),	damage	gut
tissue	and	cause	leaking	gut	syndrome.	A	variety	of	health	problems	can	result,
ranging	from	chronic	fatigue	to	allergies,	arthritis	and	other	immune	dysfunction
diseases.
A	January	1996	article	in
Internal	Medicine	World	Report
stated	that	in	1991,
more	than	40	million	prescriptions	were	written	in	America	for	antibiotics	to
treat	people	for	the	common	cold.	This	use	is	inappropriate;	antibiotics	have	no
effect	on	the	common	cold.	Vast	overprescribing	of	this	type	fosters	the
development	of	antibiotic-resistant	bacteria.
In	May	1996,	the	World	Health	Organization	(WHO)	issued	a	report	warning
that	“incurable”	strains	of	bacteria	are	being	discovered.	Many	infectious
diseases,	formerly	controllable	with	antibiotics,	are	reappearing	in	forms
difficult	or	even	impossible	to	treat.	“We	are	standing	on	the	brink	of	a	global
crisis	in	infectious	diseases,”	said	Hiroshi	Nakajima,	M.D.,	WHO’s	director
general.	The	report	warns	that	the	spread	of	untreatable	infections	is	threatening
to	undermine	modern	advances	in	health	care.	In	many	hospitals,	antibiotic-
resistant	staphylococcus	infections	are	epidemic.	More	and	more	people	die
every	year	from	antibiotic-resistant	infections,	acquired	in	hospitals.	The	WHO
report	noted	that	the	“inappropriate	use	of	antibiotics”	is	to	blame	both	for	the
increase	in	drug-resistant	microbes	and	for	the	weakened	immune	systems	of
patients.	Either	factor	is	serious;	combined,	they	are	catastrophic.	Weakened
immune	systems	play	a	crucial	role	in	the	development	of	AIDS,	autoimmune
diseases,	asthma,	allergies	and	a	long	list	of	other	health	problems.Antibiotics	represent	what	may	be	the	single	most	damaging	category	of	drugs
employed	by	allopathic	medicine,	and,	like	most	drugs,	are	unnecessary.	Only
sick	people	get	sick;	prevent	infections	by	eating	a	good	diet	and	avoiding
toxins.	Stay	away	from	immune-damaging	foods	like	sugar,	take	high-quality
supplements,	reduce	stress	and	get	regular	exercise.	If	an	infection	does	occur,
natural	remedies	should	be	considered	before	defaulting	to	the	antibiotics	that
physicians	will	undoubtedly	prescribe.	Take	lots	of	vitamins	A,	C	(up	to	the
point	where	you	begin	getting	excessive	gas	or	diarrhea,	then	decrease),	and	E,
garlic,	herbs	like	echinacea,	or	homeopathic	remedies.	Natural	antibiotics	like
olive	leaf	extract	are	also	helpful.
Hormones:
Hormones	are	critical	to	health	because	they	are	part	of	the	body’s
self-regulating	system.	They	control	gene	expression,	and,	as	part	of	the	body’s
vital	communication	systems,	they	help	balance	the	body.	Hormone	chemistry	is
awesomely	complex	and	when	you	begin	tampering	with	it,	the	effects	on	the
body’s	system	of	checks	and	balances	are	unknown	and	potentially	catastrophic.
Even	minute	hormone	quantities	can	have	a	profound	effect	on	the	body.	The
human	body	manufactures	only	50	to	100	millionths	of	a	gram	per	day	of	thyroid
hormone,	resulting	in	a	blood	concentration	of	only	one	part	per	ten	billion	(1	in
10,000,000,000).	Yet	this	minute	amount	has	a	major	regulatory	effect.

 wind in
my sails. The boost in energy came straight away and I carried on all evening
right up to the next base camp, where I slept like a baby. I was enjoying every
single moment on the mountain and this affected the quality of my orin.
Anyone who does orin looping knows very well from their own experience that
the abundant nutrients, hormones, etc that are contained in urine are very
readily absorbed and utilized by the body. When you are happy the quality goes
up, but if you are unhappy or have excessive stress the quality goes down. You
can actually physically feel this.
Stress and your attitude towards it affects the quality of you and therefore the
liquid you, which is your orin. Stress can't be avoided completely; unexpected
things go wrong in life for everyone.
My father always set a really good example when things went wrong. He would
always count his blessings and say it could be worse. No matter what went
wrong he would always be happy and content, no matter what. Contentment
really improves the quality of you and of course your orin.
So this is the ideal we want to aim for with orin looping. Have a good attitude
towards stress. Let go of resentment, bitterness, hatred and regret. All these
things negatively affect the quality of you and your orin.Move on, have a good attitude from now on so that you improve the quality of
yourself and your orin. Let your new omad orin looping chapter of your life be a
turning point. Be content with what you have, do not procrastinate happiness, be
happy now. This will improve the quality of your life and you will produce the
best quality coconut water tasting orin.
Chase excellence; strive to be the best version of yourself and this will result in
the best quality orin. I can't emphasise it enough how the quality of your orin is
an expression of the quality of you.
Don't be discouraged if your orin is still unpleasant at the moment. You have a
goal now. With the help of omad orin looping and striving to be the best version
of yourself you will increase the quality of your liquid expression of yourself to
the point where it is the best liquid that you ever want to drink.
I understand this sounds farfetched to many who think that urine is always yucky
and unpleasant. But I can absolutely assure you that my orin is a beautiful
looking, smelling and tasting drink. I value it very highly and don’t want any
other drink throughout the day than what my bloodstream gives me.
On omad your body will be in a fasted state for 23hrs a day. This is very good for
your blood and therefore your orin, your body is not dealing with pushing all that
food through you all that time. The compounds released are more beneficial due
to not being interrupted by having to push food through you during those 23 hrs
a day. It's not just the human growth hormones that increase in your orin by
around 2000%, this applies to every other beneficial compound made by the
body for your body when on omad. The percentages will be different with each
compound but the principle is the same. On omad the good stuff increases by
huge amounts in your orin. So on omad orin looping programme your body
makes even more of the beneficial compounds at exactly the right time. The
answer to deficiencies is not to eat for 23 hrs a day and feed yourself your own
perfect medicine instead. Feed yourself your own personal pharmacy that is
complete and will not take you out of the fasted state.
To reinforce this point, Breast milk is a product made from the blood just as orin
is a product made from the blood. The incredible design of the body and blood
has been very cleverly designed to change throughout the day and give exactly
what is needed at the right time.
Urine is also known as blood plasma ultrafiltrate. Or ultra filtered blood plasma.
Milk is also ultra filtered blood plasma. Milk and urine are both filtered blood; the
first milk produced after the baby is born is called colostrum, it is basically the
same as the urine the baby was just drinking before it was born.
The official definition of colostrum in medical texts is well known to be the same
as urine. To quote one medical text “a yellowish fluid rich in antibodies and
minerals that a mother's breasts produce after giving birth and before the
production of milk. It provides newborns with immunity to infections.”As such if you have ever had a glass of raw cow milk or Breast milk, it is the
same as drinking blood and urine; they have the same nutrients. They are made
the same way. The first substance produced by the mother’s breasts is basically
orin, a very clean high quality urine.
Breast milk changes from morning to midday to later in the day, and has
different things made and released for different times of the day. The blood in all
humans operates just the same way. But due to modern diet and lifestyles most
people are deficient in what their body needs at the right time. By looping their
orin they can greatly reduce these deficiencies.
One final point in this chapter. I think some people put too much weight on this
idea that the nutrients found in urine are mostly from the food we eat. I have
seen very good evidence, however, that this is not true because at least several
key nutrients in urine are present in amounts much, much larger than could
possibly be obtained from food, such as Vitamins B1 (Thiamine), B6, Folic Acid,
and Biotin.
In the Book "Urinalysis in Clinical Laboratory Practice" by Helen M. Free, in
section 4 in the table of contents (Nature and Composition of Urine from Healthy
Subjects) one is able to see the list of constituents measured in the daily pass of
urine.
The most interesting thing to me is that the amounts of several important
nutrients are found in amounts many, many times higher than it is possible to
obtain them from food. In other words, these nutrients are present in urine in
orthomolecular dosages, basically megadoses that far exceed what is possible to
obtain from food.
This to me indicates that the body produces and multiplies its own nutrients,
because if what showed up in our urine was simply the result of what we eat,
there would be no way that, for example, our urine could contain 4mg per day of
Folic Acid (that is 4,000 micrograms, and most people get well under 800
micrograms in their diet. Or 35mg of biotin per day. That is 35,000 micrograms
of biotin. The average person gets around 300 micrograms or less in the diet.
That is also the "Recommended Daily Allowance". 35,000 micrograms is a very
large orthomolecular dose and even the highest dose supplements don't have
that much in one tablet. It's well known that biotin is produced in the body, but I
believe that all or most of the known and as yet unknown nutrients actually are
produced and multiplied by the body, including known and so far
unidentified/unknown vits and minerals.
Thiamine, Vitamin B-1. As just one example 200mg per day! Most people don't
even get 5mg from food. It's impossible to get anywhere near 200mg from food,
the only way is through supplementation....or urine! And on omad orin looping all
these good things go up by large amounts.Vitamin B-6. 100mg per day. A large orthomolecular dose, again only obtainable
through supplementation or urine. This can be true of all other beneficial
nutrients.
So it is not true that the nutrients in orin mostly come from food, they mostly
come from your body but it is true that what you eat affects the quality of the
Orin. I’m not saying that what you eat isn’t important, but I am saying that your
own urine is the very best supplement you could ever take.
Imagine a supplement that can change throughout the day and give your body
exactly what it needs at the right time, exactly what the body needs at that time
and is bio available recognised to be used straight away. You just imagined your
own orin.
Chapter 3
Omad Orin Looping For Life protocol, the 4 ones rule;
Per day Only 1 meal. On only one 1 plate. With only 1 beverage. In 1 hour max.
This is the ultimate bio life hack. Physical and cognitive metal benefits as well as
financially beneficial. Your orin and your life will improve in astronomical ways
you can't even imagine if you incorporate this protocol as a lifestyle choice long
term. Omad orin looping for life.
In a nutshell that’s it. You eat only once per day in the evenings at a time that
suits you. You have a one plate meal and as a starter have either a large juice or
smoothie. This will digest quickly and you can take your time eating and most
importantly ENJOYING your solid food meal all in one hour. You can eat whatever
you want in your one meal, but the better choices you make the better the
results will be.
To start the day, drink a couple of litres of elixir (orin) as soon as you wake up.
All that you have produced since your last meal the previous evening. This does
not take you out of fast


but not a heart attack. However, every cell in the body has
a wide  latitude for action—it is a conscious being who
understands the world around it. The side eﬀects in my
desk reference are just the ones that have been observed
so far.
I recently read a story of an internist who was baﬄed
when one of his patien ts, a man in his late seventies,
suddenly began to act paranoid. The man was obsessed by
the idea that robbers were going to break into his house,
and he bought a gun to keep under his pillow. One night he
terriﬁed his wife by leaping out of bed at three in the
morning, running downst airs with his pistol, and searching
wildly for the intruders he thought were behind every chair.
Knowing that he was hallucinating dangerously, the wife
rushed him to the internist. The patient had no prior
history of mental illness and was on no medicatio ns other
than digitalis, which he took to stabilize his heart rhythm.
Considering the patient’s age, a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s
disease seemed imminent.
However, the internist consulted a neurologist to read the
patient’s CAT scan. Nothing abnormal appeared on it, but
the neurologist said, “I bet this man is hallucinating from
the digitalis.” In thirty years of practice, the internist, who
is also a professor of medicine in New York City, had never
seen this side eﬀect, altho ugh he had heard of it, barely. He
reduced the digitalis, and within ten days the patient
returned to normal. It seems quite freakish that a highly
speciﬁc heart medication should lead to insanity. If thispatient had hallucinated a few decades ago, when the desk
reference did not list such a bizarre side eﬀect, no doctor
would have believed it; today, the internist believed it only
after an extensive battery of tests ruled out everything else.
What this case teaches is that you can never tell what the
body is thinking, or where. It is entirely  possible that the
man’s heart went insane, in the sense that it toppled the
ﬁrst domino and triggere d the onset of his paranoia. The
brain and the heart share  many of the same recep tor sites;
more important, they share the same DNA, which implies
that a heart cell can beha ve like a brain cell, a liver cell, or
any other kind of cell. After open-heart surgery, patients
sometimes have psychoti c breaks and begin hallucinating.
Flat on their backs, groggy from deprivation of oxygen to
the brain, and locked into the blank sterility of an intensive
care unit, they suddenly  think that little green men are
marching up and down the sheets—such is the accepted
explanation for their episodes. Could it be that in fact it is
the heart that is hallucinating here? Simply the trauma of
the surgery could make the heart think that reality has run
wild, and that is what it tells the brain.
—
The discove ry of neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, and
messenger molecules of all kinds has vastly extended our
concept of intelligence. But if every cell has an endless
number of messages it can send and receive, it is also clear
that only a small fraction are activated at one time. Who or
what controls the messages? That turns out to be an
explosive question. In a chemistry lab, reactions will run
automatically as soon as the experiment starts; it is just a
matter of mixing one chemical with another. Yet, someone
has to take the chemicals oﬀ the shelf to begin with.
Medicine has traditionally preferred to ignore this fact as
it applies to the human body. Now we see that withthousands of chemicals on its shelf, a cell has not only to
choose some, mix them together, and analyze the results. It
has to make the chemicals in the ﬁrst place, ﬁnding
thousands of ways to create new molecules out of basically
a handful of elements— carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and
nitrogen. To do that requires a mind. So, by follow ing the
story of neuropeptides, we have ultimately arrived at a
dramatic shift in worldview. For the ﬁrst time in the history
of science, mind has a visible scaﬀold to stand upon. Before
this, science declared that we are physical machines that
have somehow learned to think. Now it dawns that we are
thoughts that have learned to create a physical machine.
EXPANDING THE TOPIC
Placing mind before brain, the main point of this chapter,
remains very hard for some people, in particular the
researchers who devote their entire careers to exploring
the brain. By developin g ever more sophisticated brain
scans, such as fMRI, which can look at brain activity
“lighting up” in real time, neuroscience has entered a kind
of golden age. New ﬁndings emerge literally by the month,
and in some circles it is conﬁdently promised that very
soon the mystery of the mind will be completely solved.
This is a promise that will never be kept if science
proceeds by assuming that brain = mind. Think about
music. A piano sonata is written by Mozart, using a
completely mental process. He writes the notes down on
paper, and the sonata can be performed on the piano. Now
imagine that a scientist comes along and says, “I’ve been
examining how pianos work. I’ve looked at the keys and
strings down  to the mole cular level. I can tell you how the
piano’s mech anism registers the ﬁnest nuances of Mozart’ssonata. Very soon we will know exactly how he composed
everything he ever wrote.”
The claim is nonsense, because dissecting a piano tells
you nothing  about how music is composed. Likewise,
examining the human brain down to the subtlest chemical
reactions inside neurons and across the synaptic gaps that
separate them says nothing about where thoug hts come
from. This is the simplest refutation of materialism one can
oﬀer, and yet it has profound consequences.
Let’s ask the most basic question. How does the brain
produce the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and textures of
the three-dimensional world? In other words, when you see
a red apple, where does its redness come from? Your brain
is completely dark inside;  there is no light anywhere in any
part of the visual corte x, much less the color red. This
mystery doesn’t bothe r most scientists, even brain
scientists. They would simply respond that apples are red,
and how the brain registers this fact comes down to
chemical reactions in the visual cortex. But the notio n that
the color red exists “out there” in Nature is simply wrong.
Light is transmitted by photons, which are colorless; in
fact, they are invisible. There is no brightness “out there”
as photons sweep from the stars and certainly no
brightness inside the brain’s total darkness. So if light’s
brightness is neither “in here” nor “out there,” why is the
sun so bright that you can’t look at it with the naked eye for
more than a few seconds?
Light’s brightness and color, along with everythi ng else
we perceive, come from “conscious agents,” a term coined
by the farseeing cognitiv e scientist Donald D. Hoﬀman of
the Universi ty of California, Irvine. He proposes  that the
only reality we can know is the reality created by
consciousness. If there is anything that is real but beyond
the human mind, then it won’t be accessible. A conscious
agent doesn ’t have to be human. Every animal speciesexperiences a reality that conforms to its nervous system,
so that a dog’s image of sound reaches much higher than
the human ear can perceive, while the hearing of a
humpback whale reaches much lower (whales can hear one
another’s songs for hund reds of miles underwate r). Some
snakes, inclu ding pytho ns and rattlesnakes, can detect
infrared light through specialized “pit organs” located in
their jaws, and so they “see” into a dimension entirely
closed oﬀ to human perception.
Conscious agents fascin ated me because the ancient
Vedic rishis were in complete agreement with the notion
that consciousness is the source of reality. They didn’t push
the everyday world of the ﬁve senses completely out of the
picture. Instead they gave it a lower status known as Maya,
a Sans krit word usually translated as “illusion”—it comes
up later in this book. Maya is the apparent reality “out
there” that all of us naïvely accept at face value, but which
turns out to be no more real than the movie projected on
the screen in a cinema. Consciousness serves as the
projector whose light casts these images while itself
remaining pure light, with no images at all.
Let me go into this subject a little more philosop hically
than I did in the original Quantum Healing. The ancient
sages of India, and all philosophers since then, explored the
mind by going inward. But in a scientiﬁc age, we have to
ask: How can thinking about the


oward	separate	changes	in	your	life—we
all	do	that.	You	can	lose	weight,	treat	depression,	find	a	new	partner,	quit
smoking,	and	so	on.	Such	efforts	can	be	difficult,	because	they	require	you	to
break	old	habits	or	to	make	drastic	changes	that	bother	the	people	around	you.
But	transformation	is	different,	because	it	involves	the	whole	person,	not
individual	changes	that	occur	one	at	a	time.	Spiritual	traditions	around	the
world	often	use	the	same	term—a
second	birth
—to	describe	what	inner
transformation	is	like.	A	second	birth	erases	all	the	mistakes	of	the	past	and
returns	the	person	to	a	state	of	innocence,	a	completely	fresh	start.
It’s	a	beautiful	ideal,	but	in	practical	terms,	there’s	a	problem.	No	one	needs
to	change	everything	about	themself.	In	everyone’s	life	there	are	good	and	bad
parts.	Looking	at	yourself	today,	you	could	list	many	aspects	of	your	current
situation	that	you	value	and	love,	along	with	achievements	you’re	proud	of	and
years	of	maturation	that	turned	you	into	a	worthy	person.
Would	you	really	want	to	give	up	all	of	this	for	the	promise	of	a	fresh	start?
No,	of	course	not—and	you	don’t	have	to.	As	a	process,	transformation	mirrors
what	happens	every	day	to	an	infant	as	it	develops,	stage	by	stage,	from	the
moment	of	birth.
An	infant	does	nothing	except	be	itself.	On	Tuesday	the
things	it	experiences	aren’t	very	different	from	the	experiences	on	Monday.
Yet	at	a	deeper	level—in	this	case	the	unfolding	of	the	potential	inside	human
DNA—each	day	isn’t	the	same	as	the	day	before.	The	infant	is	growing	and
developing,	without	actually	making	any	special	effort.	One	day	a	small	childmay	be	fascinated	with	paper	dolls	and	playing	in	a	sandbox.	Turn	around,	and
six	months	later	these	are	playthings	of	the	past,	and	something	new,	like
alphabet	blocks	and	learning	a	song,	are	fascinating	instead.	What’s	happening,
and	what	continues	to	happen	throughout	a	lifetime,	is	inner	growth—
evolution.
This	tells	us	that	evolution	is	natural;	there’s	almost	nothing	about	you	as	a
two-year-old	that	is	the	same	as	the	self	you	are	today.	What	was	hidden	inside
you	back	then	were	seeds	and	potentials.	Why	does	it	feel,	as	so	many	people
report,	that	they	aren’t	achieving	their	full	potential?	Because	as	adults	we	must
consciously
choose
	to	evolve.
We’ve	shown	you	many	facets	of	Radical	Beauty,	and	we’ve	saved	the	most
important	for	last:	renewal.	Whatever	path	you	take,	please,	please	renew
yourself,	forever	and	without	end.	Life	is	a	process	of	endless	renewal,	and	you
stand	at	the	switch,	doing	what	it	takes	to	move	your	evolution	forward	or	the
opposite,	causing	it	to	slow	down	or	come	to	a	halt.
From	this	moment	forward,	you	can	become	as	beautiful	as	anything	in
creation,	surpassing	even	the	most	perfect	rose	by	virtue	of	this	rare	gift	called
self-awareness.	We’ll	leave	you	with	the	words	of

Radical	Beauty	Soups


 Repeat for a
total of 3 times.
6. Palming. Rub hands together briskly until they are quite warm.
Cup the hands over both eyes, fingers slightly crossed, right over left.
Do not press the eyes. Hold for a count of 10. Then repeat for a total of
3 times, always feeling the warmth entering into the eyes from the
hands.
7. Then rub eyes lightly with three middle fingers. Rub the bones
around the eyes in a circular motion, starting from the inside comer of
each eye next to the nose. Rub up the bridge of the nose, across the
eyebrow s, towards the temples, down and back around the lower rims
of the eye sockets to the nose again. Do this 10 times. Pause. Repeat
for a total of 3 cycles.
NOTE A: Rubbing in the opposite direction will weaken the eye
muscles and cause wrinkles to appear. Always use a natural, heal
ing cream as a lubricant.
NOTE 8: For cataract or glaucoma, practice the first seven eye
exercises up to 20 minutes daily. Whenever your eyes are tired, do the
Eye Exercises, as they will complet ely revitalize your entire body in
minutes. It is also good to do them in conjunction with exercises
which strengthen the liver.
NOTE C: Once you have located the painful points, it is not necessary
to continue pressing hard on these points. When you are doing the Eye
124 The Internal Exe rcises
Exercis es, even a very light touching of the points will accompl ish the
purpose of the exercise, which is to restore normal vision.
NOTED: Use the first two points (A and B) for diagnosis. If it is
painful at all when you press in deeply, then there is something wrong
with the eyes and/or body. If it is puffy or dark under point B, water
retention or lack of proper rest is indicated.
One may also practice additional exercises which will strengthen the
eyes and the muscles surrounding them.
1. Begin by keeping the head straight, but with the eyes first looking
up toward the ceiling and then down at the floor. Repeat this motion
several times. The eyes should always move slowly and with deliber
ation.
2. Next, look to either side of the head.
3. Then look up and down into the opposite corners of the eyes.
4. Then rotate the eyes first in a clockwise direction, then in a
counter clockwise direction. This will take about ten minutes to per
form when done slowly.
S. Always follow these eye moveme nts with a rubbing of the hands
and a pressing of the palms onto the eyes to bring heat and energy into
them.

125 The Internal Exercises
If you practice these exercises consistently over a period of time, you
may never need glasses to see clearly.
A student of mine and his family benefited greatly from the Eye Exer
cises. His problems first began after he left his job in the computer
department of a San Francisco telephone company for a better job in San
Jose. Because he was working as a trainee on three months probation at the
San Jose company, his wife-then working as a nurse in a San Francisco
hospital-could not leave her job and move away from San Francisco. Plus
their house and four children were in San Francisco. So even if he was tired
after hoUJS of heavy concentration and computer training, he still had to
drive for a total of 3 hours to and from work and fight traffic. When he did
get home, he was overwhelmed by the demands of his four children. Not
being able to stand the noise any longer, he retreated to his bedroom,
locked the door, and collapsed on the bed. It was not long before his
miserable outlook on life, lack of appetite for his wife's cooking, and
indifference toward family and marital matters started explosiv e fights
between him and his equally strained wife. Soon they agreed to a divorce.
But before they took any legal action, they came to my office seeking
advice. After carefully listening to both husband and wife, I discovered that
they still loved each other and that the only things tearing them apart were
the stress and tension of overwork. I therefore asked them to delay taking
any legal action for two weeks, enough time to let the Eye Exercises take
effect. I gave the husband the instructions for the exercises and asked him
to do them when he drove on the emptier and safer sections of Highway
280. He could exercise both eyes by steering with the right hand as he
exercised his left eye with his left hand and then switching hands to do the
other eye. A month or so later they both came back to my office bearing a
gift. The husband said the Eye Exercises performed a miracle on their lives.
When he exercised his eyes as he drove, he was never tired when he
reached home-he felt complet ely refreshed. He was able to play with his
children, answer their questio ns, even help them do their homework; his
appetite returned; he was able to fulfill his marital duties; and he was able to
concentrate on his job and pass probation smoothly. Afterward, he was
formally hired, and he was able to sell the house in San Francisco and move
to San Jose. His wife also found a new job in San Jose, and their children
were happy. They said they were starting a new life with more love for each
other than ever before.
126 The Internal Exercises
THE NOSE EXERC ISE
The nose is the opening to the lungs. Symptoms such as allergies, runny
nose, and blocked sinuses are the manifestations of weakness within the
lungs. To strengthen the lungs, one should perform the Crane Exercise,
which directs a flow of energy that helps restore any degenerative condi
tions within the pulmonary system. We can also help keep the lungs strong,
as well as keep the sinuses healthy, by stimula ting certain points around the
nose. These are spots which open up into the meridians that supply the nose
and surrounding areas with energy. By pressing these points, we insure a
continual flow of energy through the nasal and sinus passages.
The exercise can be done several times throughout the day, as many
times as necessary to help correct sinus or nasal problems. But if time does
not allow it, doing the exercise once, after the Eye Exercise, with the aid of
a healing herbal cream will suffice.
I. Using the tip of the index or the second fingers of each hand, press
down with heavy pressure on the three points as described below.
2. Begin at the base of the nose and press these points for about ten
seconds. Then rub these points briefly.
3. Next, press the points midway up on either side of the nose for
about ten seconds. Then rub briefly.

4. Press the point midway between the eyebrows (the third eye) with
both fingers. Then rub briefly.
5. Repeat this progression three times, always beginning with the
lower points and ending by pressing the point corresponding to the
third eye.
6. Rub in a continual flowing motion, starting at the lowest point,
passing through the second and third points, then continuing up
through the middle of the forehead. Repeat this movement for a total
of three times.
Throughout the exercise, the pressure exerted should be penetrating and
deep. Often when just beginning, the points will be sensitiv e or slightly
painful. This is an indication of weakness or blockages within the merid
ian. Continue to perform this exercise daily and the pain will disappear in
time. You may notice that you will acquire fewer colds, allergies, and sinus
conditions.
THE EAR EXERC ISE OR
"BEATING THE HEAVENL Y DRUM"
Whether it be daytime or nighttime. one's envi ronment never rests.
128 TM Internal Exercises
When you are sleeping you may think you hear nothing, but the ears are still
receiving stim uli. Taoist teachings show a way to rest the ears. They call
this exercise ''Beating the Heavenly Drum' '.
This exercis e stimulates and gives rest to the inner ear. It is very
important to keep your ears healthy, and by following this exercise you will
insure good hearing into old age. Many diseases of the ears, such as ringing
and partial deafness, can be helped or cured by using this exercise.
In Chinese medic ine, the ears are regarded as the openi ng to the kidneys.
So if you do have problems with your ears, it is a warning signal that you
have a weakness in your kidneys. It is important then to also practice the
Kidney Exercis e along with the Ear Exercise.
The ears lie in line with, and are connected to, the pineal gland, which,
as you may rec all, is the center for spiritual awaren ess. Practic ing the Ear
Exercise stimula tes the pineal gland and helps to keep it


 and mixing
bowl. Follow same procedure as with churn, except beat cream with egg beater. When butter is formed, pour off milk,
wash butter with water, wrap product in wax paper, and store under refrigeration.
CLABBER MILK
   Put 1 or 2 quarts of raw milk into a bowl and heat to 80
degrees E Cover with towel to assure cleanliness, and allow
to set until converted to clabber and whey.
   Clabber milk may be consumed without further preparation,
or both the clabber and whe y may be beaten in an electric blender or with an egg beater until it is uniform in
consistency and frothy.
   Clabber milk may be made from whole milk or skim milk.
If it is made from ordinary raw milk, it will set under natural
conditions. If it is made from certified raw milk, which is too
low in bacterial count to allow souring, about two table-spoons of commercial buttermilk must be added to each quart
of sweet milk to induce souring. If this is not done, the milk will putrefy rather than sour.

COTTAGE CHEESE
   Pour 2 quarts of raw skim milk into bowl and heat to
temperature of 80 degrees F. Set aside at warm room
temperature and cover with light towel. When milk has
turned into sour clabber, pour into colander and allow to drain
until all liquid is gone. The solid clabber remaining in the
colander is cottage cheese. It should be stirred to improve consistency, and can be served immediately or kept under
refrigeration for later use. For creamed cottage cheese, mix
with a moderate quantity of sweet cream. Caraway seeds or
chopped chives may be added for extra flavor.
   As with clabber milk, if cottage cheese is made from raw
certified milk of low bacterial count, a little commercial
buttermilk will have to be added to the milk at the outset in
order to promote souring.

HOME-MADE ICE CREAM
2 eggs, well beaten             1 pint milk
   Add honey to the milk, stirring vigorously. Slowly add the
eggs which have been beaten until thick, and stir constantly
as the eggs are added. Cool the mixture and then stir in the cream.
   A regular ice cream freezer, either hand operated or
electrically operated, may be used. Fill the freezer can about two-thirds full with the mixture and place both can and
turning crank into position in the freezer. Fill area around
freezing can about one-third full of crushed ice; then fill
remaining area with mixture of 4 parts crushed ice and 1 part
coarse salt. Turn crank and freeze. When ice cream is frozen, drain off water, take out dasher and remove contents for
serving. If mixture is to be kept frozen in freezer, remove
 dasher, pack mixture down solidly with spoon. Repack, and
cover freezer with newspapers or heavy cloth.
   For making flavored ice cream follow the basic recipe
except that substitutions and additions may be made as
follows. For fruit flavorings, substitute two cups of finely
mashed fruits (strawberries, raspberries, bananas, oranges, or any other fruit that is desired) for two cups of milk given in
the basic recipe. The fruits may also be brought to the proper
texture by being beaten in a liquefier for a few moments, or if
preferred, the juices of the fruits may be used instead of the
whole fruit. When black walnuts or other kinds of nuts are used, they may simply be added to the basic mixture, using
one cup of chopped nuts for each batch of ice cream. For date
flavored ice cream, pure date syrup may be added to the basic
mixture in similar or smaller amounts, depending upon the strength of flavor desired.

REFRIGERATOR ICE CREAM
   Perfect ice cream may be made in the refrigerator providing
you have a special ice cream freezer which is designed for
use in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator. This
freezer has a one or two quart container in which the ice cream mixture is placed. An electric cord extends from the
freezer through the refrigerator door, and is plugged in a wall
socket. The freezer thus operates electrically, and turns the
ice cream mixture by the use of paddles located in the
container. Within about 45 minutes to one hour the ice cream is frozen into an ideal consistency, equal to the very best that
can be obtained with any other method.
   The recipe for refrigerator ice cream is exactly the same as
used for the regular home-made ice cream. In making
refrigerator ice cream, pour mixture into freezer container and
place at least two tablespoons of water on the surface of the
refrigerator freezer compartment. Place the electric freezer on this wet surface, and turn the refrigerator to its coldest setting.
Connect the cord plug and let freezer operate as specified.
When ice cream is done, paddles will stop turning, and
contents may be removed and served immediately.

   Mix all ingredients together and serve in sherbet glasses.
UNCOOKED APPLE PIE
1 cup whole wheat flour            4 cups grated apples
½ cup ground dates                ½ cup honey
¼ cup almond butter                1 cup whipped cream
   Mix flour, dates, and almond butter together for pie crust.
Roll out dough on wax paper. Invert paper over nine-inch pie
plate, and line the plate with dough. Press down around edges
and trim. Grate apples coarsely and mix with honey. Drain
off liquid and fill pie shell with the grated apple mixture.
Cover filling with layer of whipped cream, and then sprinkle
with grated nut meats.
   For other fruit pies, use same pie crust recipe, and fill in
shell with banana slices, peach slices, berries, or other fruit of
choice (sweetened with honey). If top pie crust is desired, this
may be rolled out on wax paper, as for lower crust, and inverted over filling. Whipped cream covering is then
optional.
