Therapeutic Fasting

1. INTRODUCTION Fasting and tranquilizing the mind through meditation ranks among the world’s most ancient and effective health therapies, both as a cure for specific ailments and a general preventive against disease and degeneration of the organism. When sick animals instinctively abstain from eating, and it has been clinically proven that all organisms from insects to mammals, live significantly longer lives and manifest significantly higher energy levels who deprived of food from time to time. Fasting and meditation used to be a common therapy during the early stages of human civilization. Jesus fasted and meditated frequently to purify his body and clear his mind of attachments, and Pythagorus required his students to fast and meditate for forty (40) days prior to receiving his higher teachings. Even today primitive tribes in Africa, Asia, and South America still maintain “sick houses” on the outskirts of their villages, where ill people are put to rest, fast and meditate until they purge their bodies of the toxins responsible for their ailments. But so called ‘modern civilization’ with its blind faith in chemical drugs, surgery and technology, has all but forgotten this marvelous ancient health regimen. Today, however, fasting and meditation are once again being recognized as an incomparably powerful tool for maintaining health, promoting vitality, and extending lifespan especially among enlightened health therapists. There are now therapeutic fasting and meditation centers in Europe, the Soviet Union and North America and people are flocking to them in droves for relief for every ailment known to man, including arthritis, rheumatism, chronic constipation and other digestive ailments, weakness, lethargy and cancer. Ironically, however, there are few if any fasting centers in the Far Eastern countries even though fasting was once well known to oriental therapists. There is no substitute for fasting and mental development through meditation, its marvelous healing mechanism can only work when the person eases ingesting, digesting and metabolizing solid food while beginning to open and relax their mind through meditation. After about thirty-six (36) hours without food intake, the body automatically switches over from the digestive mode to the detoxification mode, a condition that most people have never experienced in their entire lives and their mind becomes highly emotional. At this point, the millions of active enzymes normally secreted into the stomach for digestion of food are converted instead into ‘scavenger enzymes’, which enter the bloodstream and circulate far and wide throughout the body in “search and destroy” missions against microbes, parasites, toxins, and potentially cancerous damaged cells. The enzymes breakdown and ‘digest’ these foreign invaders and damaged cells and they dump them into the bloodstream for excretion through the colon, kidneys, skin and lungs. The tired, weak and listless feelings experienced during the first three or four days of a therapeutic fast are due entirely to the presence of all these toxins and other waste matter in the bloodstream as they are waiting to be excreted, not to the lack of food and this is where meditation is most helpful. The person learns first hand how to open and relax their mind, not taking any of these states of mind as beings theirs, but realizing that it is only a process of mental and

physical cleansing occurring. The human body may be deprived of food for forty (40) days before it starts devouring its own tissues, so their is no damage in fasting for seven (7) days, only some discomfort, which is easily let go of when the person is practicing meditation. A therapeutic fast must last a minimum of seven (7) days, to be fully effective. It takes precisely seven (7) days of fasting to completely detoxify the lymphatic system, the organs, the glands, and most important of all - the entire bloodstream. If daily colonic irrigations are included in the program, the colon is also thoroughly purged of the dried toxic mucus and hardened waste matter that gets so deeply impacted in the folds of the colon and chronically pollutes the bloodstream. Meditation and learning how to open and relax the mind cleans away the mental debris while the body is cleaning itself. Although therapeutic fasts with colonic irrigations and meditation, may easily be performed at home, most people lack the will and self-discipline to do this, and many are simply afraid to try it. Therefore, a properly organized therapeutic fasting/meditation center in Thailand serves the requirements of many people living in Thailand and elsewhere throughout the East, people who are becoming aware of the damages of self-toxification posed by modern lifestyles and industrial environments.

2. DETOXIFICATION AND COLON CLEANSING Heavy Metals: Heavy metals like lead and mercury and other toxins can depress body temperature, suppress activity of the glandular system and slow down the immune system, making people susceptible to chronic infections, yeast overgrowths and even cancer (if one lives in a big city they can benefit greatly by detoxing their body at least once a year). To determine whether heavy metals are a problem for you, have your doctor test for the level of lead, mercury, and other heavy metals. Hair analysis can be helpful in making this determination. An alternative health practice may need to be sought out for this testing procedure.

Buckthorn, Red Clover, Apple Pectin, Citrus Pectin and Garlic remove heavy metals Several sources including Louise Tenny’s Book “Today’s Herbal Health” and Dr. Quingcai Zhang MD say Garlic is good to reduce lead levels in the body, Buckthorn is listed by Tenny as a herb to remove lead and Red Clover as a herb to remove toxins. Pectin is found in apples and in the rind of lemons, grapefruits, and oranges. This is very good to remove heavy metals that you can get in the powdered form from health food stores.

The Value of Colonics and Enemas Bad bacteria in the colon produce ammonia, which lowers the pH of the colon (in an acidic direction), and also produces several toxins, which can cause many symptoms and even cancer. The friendly bacteria produce lactic acid, which kills the bad bacteria. Some of these friendly bacteria are lactobacillus, acidophilus, bifidus and bulgaricus. Besides lactic acids, the friendly bacteria produce acetic acid, digestive enzymes and most of the ‘B’ vitamins, including vitamin B12. To remove HIV, Candida and other pathogens from the colon, consider colonics and enemas, also special colon cleansing drinks which may be taken orally. Professionally administered colonics are the most effective, as they reach the ascending colon, the last segment of the colon that home enemas may not reach. While infections in the Ascending and Transverse colon are not common, persons who are HIV+ and who have symptoms, would benefit from a colonic. Colonics remove a lot of toxins from the body. After a colonic, drink a pint of raw vegetable juice (i.e. carrot and celery juice or cabbage juice, the best being cultured cabbage juice), to replenish the electrolytes.

Self-Test For Friendly Intestinal Flora An ancient belief is that when your stools are sinking, your health is deteriorating. Stools will float when friendly flora in the colon area produce a type of lipid that makes the stool weigh less than the water in your toilet.. Stools that sink indicate the absence of friendly flora. In addition to producing gamma interferon which builds the ‘T’ cells, friendly flora like acidophilus produces a wide range of ‘B’ vitamins, which cause your urine to be yellow. Sinking stools and clear urine are bad signs. Floating stools and yellow urine are good signs and indicate a healthy colon. To gauge this properly stop taking all vitamin supplements for two days before checking to see how healthy your body actually may or may not be.

Garlic, Chlorophyll Enemas Do this once daily for 1 month. It kills all undesirable viruses, parasites, bacteria and fungus in the lower bowel. It is best to clean out the lower colon area with a pint of warm water before retaining the garlic and chlorophyll enema. To 1 pint (500 ml) of water in a blender add 2-3 cloves of garlic and 2 tbsp. of liquid chlorophyll (2 teaspoons of colloidal silver is another option which helps quite a bit). Beat until completely blended (about 2 minutes). Pour into the enema bag and use either early in the morning or late at night once a day. Try to retain the mixture in your colon for at least 5 minutes before releasing it. Adding 2 or 3 capsules of black walnut may make this mixture more effective in killing parasites. Using a ‘colema board’ is the easiest way to do this. But if no board is available. Suspend the enema bag 24” above your body while lying down. Lie on your left side insert the tube (lubricated with olive oil or any recommended lubricant), allow the water to fill the colon until it feels full, then lie on your back and continue to allow more fluid into the colon until it feels full again. Shut off the water flow with a finger control valve. Use a pillow to prop up your buttocks. This will cause the enema solution to move deeper into the colon. Retain for as long as possible or up to 5 minutes before releasing. Note: enemas should not be taken just after eating, but about 4 hours after your meal. Use enemas once a day for the first month, then 2 or 3 times a week after that, as needed. It is best not to use tap water for this, distilled water is best.

Good Water, Fresh Raw Vegetables, Fruit Juices and Meditation Drinking lots of good clean water (at least 2 liters daily) helps the body remove most toxins and poisons. You can imagine how dirty your clothes would look if you tried to wash them with just 1/2 the water you normally use. People with low rates of metabolism and low body temperature do not crave water and this causes the toxins to build up in the blood and in the cells. Increasing body temperature increases thirst for liquids.

This urge should be satisfied as water is necessary (definitely not ever soft drinks) for the kidneys to function in removing toxins from the blood. Freshly squeezed carrot, celery and parsley juice will increase energy levels quickly when taken 2-4 glasses daily. Practicing at least 30 minutes of meditation daily helps to clean out the mind of stress and anxieties.

3. WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A 7-DAY FASTING PROGRAM Night Before the Fasting Begins Its best to skip dinner the night before beginning a fast, or eat only a light meal of fruit or salad. Before bed, take 2-3 herbal laxatives to purge the bowels of residual feces the next morning. Begin getting into the habit of meditation daily, to start out at least 15 minutes each time. (How to do the meditation will be explained thoroughly later). Day 1: Upon arising, take your first dose of psyllium- seed- husk- powder (Metamucil) with 300-400 ml of pure water (distilled is best), plus 1-2 tablespoons of liquid Bentonite detoxifier, either together or separately, then another glass of water. This is when you begin meditating for at least 15 minutes each time, more if you can manage it, 11/2 hours later, take your first dose of nutrimental supplements: wheat grass juice tablets, vitamin C, vitamin E, and whole beet juice tablets and again meditate for 15 minutes at least, 1 1/2 hours later, take second dose of psyllium/ bentonite mix and meditate again, then 1 1/2 hours later take second dose of nutritional supplements and meditate, etc. Take four (4) doses of each combination 1 1/2 hours apart and meditate after each dose throughout the day. If using the ‘Colema board’ for irrigations, take first 5 gallon of warm water with coffee and apple cider vinegar through the colon during the afternoon, and another one at night, before bed. (Meditate until you go to sleep). Day 2: Same basic program of cleansers, nutrients, meditation and colonic irrigations. By mid-day, you will start to feel quite weak, tired, listless. This is NOT due to hunger or starvation!!! This is due to the fact that after about thirty-six (36) hours of not eating solid foods, the body switches over to the detoxification mode. Enzymes enter the bloodstream and roam about the entire body, extracting toxins from joints, lymph nodes, internal organs, fat and other tissues. These toxins are dumped into the bloodstream for excretion through the kidneys, skin and lungs. However, the toxins come out so fast that the blood can’t excrete them fast enough, therefore, they circulate throughout the body in the bloodstream, including the brain. It is the toxins coming out of the tissues and carried in the bloodstream that causes discomfort. The worse you feel, the better the program is working for you, because it means that your body is full of toxins and that these toxins are indeed coming out of the tissues where they have been stored for years and into the bloodstream for excretion. Now is when the meditation becomes especially important, as the body becomes listless and tired ones mind begins to become a little grumpy. When one meditates properly they will be able to watch and soften their mind into this process. Tranquilizing and calming ones mind helps to develop equanimity and a sense of balance with what is happening in the present moment. As bodily feelings become somewhat unpleasant the minds reaction to that feeling is what needs tranquilizing and softening at that time. Day 3: Today you will feel worse than on day 2. Continue the program outlined above. If you feel very bad, take extra bentonite liquid, because this substance

neutralizes toxins in the blood until they can be excreted. If feeling very weak, you may take extra wheat grass juice tablets and extra beet juice tablets for energy. Keep meditating in the same manner even though you may not feel much like it. Day 4: For many people, this is the most difficult day, especially if you are very toxic. Your body and your breath will stink as the toxins are pushed out through the skin and lungs, to assist the kidneys and colon in their job of elimination. DON’T GIVE UP NOW!!! This is the halfway mark, and if you make it through this day, you will easily finish the whole program. The meditation will now seem very troublesome and you may not want to sit at all, but again DON’T STOP NOW. This is the time when you learn the most about how your mind works. Day 5: Most people begin to recover their energy on this day. By this time, most of the heavy toxins have been eliminated and the mental stress lessens. This frees the blood to start building up the tissues again and replace damaged cells and tissues. Your body will feel very light and supple and your mind will be incredibly clear. You will notice that you dream very clearly and intensely during these days, like going to the movies! This is because the brain is now almost detoxified and therefore it works much more efficiently and clearly. Day 6: Energy builds very rapidly now, as the body is almost completely detoxified and the bloodstream purified. You will not feel hungry at all, by this time. If you wish, you may go to work or perform normal errands such as going to the market, etc. Also, an days 5,6,7, if you are using the ‘Colema Board’, you will notice that you remove the most quantity of foul wastes from your colon on these days. That’s because you already removed the first several layers of sticky, rubbery waste from the colon on the first 4 days, and now you are getting down to the real ‘nitty-gritty’, the stuff that has been deeply impacted into the folds of the colon for many years. Even though you have eaten nothing for four consecutive days, you now begin to eliminate huge quantities of tough toxic waste, dried mucus, and other accumulated debris from the colon. Even if you do not use the ‘Colema Board’, you will eliminate the most waste from the colon to really clean out the colon. By now the meditation becomes much clearer and easier to do. It is easier to sit for longer periods of time and the mind will actually begin to experience some tranquility. Day 7: You will feel better than you can ever remember on this day, both the mind and body feel light. Sitting in meditation is very easy and mind is exceptionally calm and bright. It takes exactly 7 days to completely purify the bloodstream and lymph glands, so by this day your body is completely rejuvenated. You will feel as though you could easily fast and meditate for another week or two (and do so if you have the time).

POST - FAST Day 8: It is extremely important to break a fast correctly. Never take cooked food of any kind as your first meal. The best items to eat on the morning of day 8 are, raw Black Grapes, fresh Raw Apples or some sort of Fresh Raw Vegetable Juice (the best is cultured cabbage juice). For example, start the day with one kilogram of fresh Raw Grapes, well washed, spitting out the skin and seeds, again continuing the meditation and sit for 30 to 45 minutes each time.. 11/2 hours later, take another dose of pysllium seed husk powder (Metamucil), to help move the grapes through the system and restore normal bowel movements, then meditate. 2 hours later, more grapes, or perhaps two fresh Raw Apples and some more meditation. A few hours after that, perhaps a large glass of fresh Raw Carrot juice and meditation. Continue in this manner all day. Make sure that you take at least 1/2 cup of cultured cabbage juice 3 x’s daily for the next two weeks to replace the natural flora needed for digestion and vitamin B production. And to continue your meditation for at least 45 minutes daily and longer if possible. Morning time is the best for meditation because then you start the day with a clear calm mind. Day 9: Start out the day the same as day 8, with grapes, apples, carrot juice and meditation. Also take two doses of pysllium powder, along with 1/2 cup of the cultured cabbage juice 3 x’s for the day. That night you may have a large raw vegetable salad, with cold pressed olive oil and fresh lemon juice dressing (no vinegar). Day 10: Begin the day same as days 8 and 9, with raw fruits and raw vegetable juices and meditation. Especially the cultured cabbage juice (1/2 cup 3 x’s daily). That night, you may have your first cooked fresh vegetables, tofu, etc. Day 11: You may now return to a proper diet, but be careful about what you eat and still take 1/2 cup of cultured cabbage juice 3 x’s daily for the next 14 days. The more seriously you take the meditation now the less likely major illnesses will bother you. The more you let go of stress the healthier the mind and body become. No sugar, candy, sweets, colas, white starch (this includes white bread), or other ‘junk foods’. Do not mix starch such as bread, or rice together with protein such as meat and seafood. If you eat carbohydrates like bread, rice and noodles - avoid meat and fish. If you eat meat or fish, do not mix with rice and/or noodles, this will prevent putrefaction and fermentation of food in the digestive tract, which causes accumulation of toxic waste. Try to eat at least one meal per day entirely of raw food, such as vegetable salads or fruit (but not both together at the same time). Continue to take one dose of pysllium powder per day for at least 2 weeks. It will keep the digestive tract clean and keep every thing moving. In fact, it’s a good idea to continue taking pysllium powder (unflavored Metamucil) once a day, or once every 2-3 days permanently.

4. DIGESTIVE SYSTEM Stomach, Intestines, Liver, Gall Bladder, Pancreas Though the causes of abdominal disorders are varied and multiple, among the most common are psychosomatic factors such as nervousness, mental imbalance of habitual restless thinking and stress. These can be due to both hormonal imbalances and improper eating habits. The common symptoms are indigestion, gas, belching, bad breath, nausea, hernia, severe headaches and ulcers. These disorders are easily cured through ‘Tranquil Wisdom Meditation’ (opening and relaxing the mind then coming back to the breath and relax the tension in the head and mind on the in-breath and the out-breath), daily exercise and proper diet. There are foods that can prevent many such disorders and when taken in the right combinations can even cure them as well. People who eat anything and everything sooner or later suffer from various types of problems. Some eat fruit with, or immediately after meals. However, fruit requires nearly a quarter of the time for digestion compared to other foods such as fresh vegetables. This results in disrupting the digestive system in general and gives it more work. Similarly, some people eat fruit with white sugar. Sugar makes the fruit ferment. This causes the production of gas and results in heartburn. Young fresh vegetables grown without chemical fertilizers contain more vitamins, minerals, and food value than those stored or canned. Similarly, vegetables boiled in too much water, cooked or fried (except tomatoes) are nothing but bulk and taste, without much real food value. Selecting the right food is an art and can be developed as long as there is an interest in doing so. More than knowing what to eat, it is good to know what not to eat in order to prevent certain problems. One important factor here is that instead of becoming a slave to our taste buds, we must learn to control them. By learning to relax through doing some physical exercise and practicing ‘Tranquil Wisdom Meditation’ (relaxing the mind) daily without a break, psychosomatic problems such as nervousness, stress, tension, and mental strain can be prevented. This requires a conscientious and deliberate effort and in some cases it involves a significant change of habits. ‘Tranquil Wisdom Meditation’ helps in achieving a harmonious and balanced life style, if given a try. By correcting eating habits and by following certain simple eating, avoiding excessively spicy and fried foods, many gastro-intestinal disorders can be prevented or cured.

The Tongue The tongue is a reliable indicator of the digestive system. It can also indicate the state of other systems. A pale tongue indicates weakness, anemia and fluid retention. A deep red one indicates an inflammatory condition. A white coat indicates an excess alkaline condition, poor digestion, internal congestion both in the digestive tract or in

the lungs. A yellow coat indicates an excess of acidity, toxicity or inflammation. A red colored smooth tongue indicates vitamin (usually vitamin B) deficiency. A trembling tongue indicates a nerve problem. If the tongue is stiff and rigid then there is tension. If after sleep, there are tooth marks on the edges of the tongue, the indication is water retention and low energy.

Mouth Cracked lips, redness of the corners of the mouth or nose indicates an inflammation or an excess of acid in the digestive system. Red inflamed gums indicate a deficiency of vitamins and minerals as well as acidity. Stale breath indicates poor digestion, acidity and sluggish intestines.

Stools Normal stools, not loose or hard, float, indicating a healthy diet. Loose stools indicate indigestion or poor assimilation. Light or chalky stools indicate improper production of bile due to stones in the gall bladder.

Dietary Concerns For problems due to heat such as gastritis, ulcers, colitis and gastro-enteritis, increase the intake of soothing foods such as raw ochre, papaya, fruits, yams and cultured yogurt with no sugar. - There are some foods which are eaten these days that can really cause problems in the body. For example: all refined starches (wheat and rice) and refined sugars are particularly bad. When raising children one should never give them any kind of refined sugar, this causes their body to have a pleasant feeling for about a half an hour. Where they are very hyperactive, then the sugar goes away and they crash both emotionally and physically. If you really want to do yourself and your children a favor, just give them naturally sweet things like fruits. The increase in diabetes in children has multiplied almost 10 x’s in the last seven years and the reason is the sweets that are given to the children to “make them happy”. Also white polished rice is like a kind of glue in the intestines and it sticks to the sides of the intestines and any other food that is passing through. This causes the food to rot in the abdomen and then people complain about having gastric problems. No small wonder, some of the foods that they ate years ago is still rotting in their stomach, which causes gas, and all kinds of problems. - The only real way to overcome these problems is to change eating habits to more raw vegetables, fresh fruits and freshly squeezed juices (not pre-packaged and store bought). Eating unpolished rice, whole wheat bread, and whole grains.

- If there is digestive weakness, the usual symptoms are - gas, bloating, a feeling of coldness, tiredness, and lack of appetite. For these symptoms increase the intake of hot foods such as ginger, fennel, and anise seeds. - Natural foods, such as garlic, fresh vegetables, fibre foods and fruits help the acid/alkali pH balance. - Always eat at least 3 hours before going to bed. - Avoid: white sugar, starch and pastries which produce an excess of acid, red pepper, hot chilis, hot spices, carbonated drinks, fried foods, animal fats, food that might cause gas such as beans, onion, turnips. (this depends on the individual) - Avoid taking antibiotics, tension while eating, swallowing air while eating and gum chewing. - People with any kind of abdominal disorders should eat according to their specified diet and they should make a habit of chewing their food until it turns to liquid in their mouth before swallowing the food.

Digestive Problems in Children Ordinarily children fall prey to abdominal diseases because of malnutrition, inadequate food or improper food. This can start even in the womb itself. Most mothers want their children to be nice, round and chubby and their efforts to do so, they may “force feed” the child with the wrong diet. Unfortunately the child’s system cannot take this burden and digestive problems can result. When there is malnutrition, the abdomen gets bloated and the child becomes weak. - Too much food can be seen as fullness of the abdomen and veins can be seen on its surface. - If the child is in nappies for a long time and if the nappies are not changed soon after they are soiled, the result can be constipation. Nappy rash can also be caused and this leads to the growth of bacteria. - Children who suffer constipation develop bad breath, coated tongues, grind their teeth in their sleep and may have nightmares. - If the child has diarrhea, a lot of water and electrolytes like sodium, potassium chloride and other nutrients may be lost. The result is lethargy, cold feet, sunken eyes, reduced urination and a dry skin and tongue. Plenty of fruit juices with electrolytes, yogurt, sago or rice water, milk, young coconut water and lentil soup may be helpful. - In the case of dehydration give a glass of water with a pinch of salt and a spoonful of honey every two hours.

repeated colic, there will be a lot of gas in the intestines. In such conditions, the child can be made to lie on a hot water bottle wrapped in a cloth. This is followed by making the child drink a few spoons of luke warm water. 1] Carrot (10 oz.), Beet (3 oz.), and Cucumber (3 oz.) juice: This blend of juices is very rich in the organic alkalizing elements sodium, potassium, and phosphorus; neutralizes acid, helps expel gas, promote peristalsis; 2 pints (or one liter) daily. 2] Cultured Cabbage Juice: Take 1/2 cup of cultured cabbage juice 3 x’s daily until the problem is healed. 3] Yogurt: Benefits all forms of indigestion; restores friendly intestinal bacteria; soothes inflamed intestinal lining; 6-8 oz. daily. 4] Spinach (Bulk or Juice): detoxifies digestive tract; restores pH balance; soothes intestinal inflammation; promotes peristalsis; must be taken raw, either in salad, or as 6 oz. juice mixed with 10 oz. carrot juice, 1-2 pints (1 liter) daily. 5] Apple Cider Vinegar: This helps to balance the Ph in the stomach and soothes intestinal problems.

Diabetes and Pancreatitis Inability of pancreas to produce sufficient insulin to metabolize sugars, owing to long-term excess consumption of refined sugars and starches; inflammation of pancreas due to excess demand for pancreatic enzymes in the stomach. Once the insulin treatment gets started it cannot be stopped because the pancreas gets lazy and depends to much on the shots, so the pancreas fails to produce what little it used to, before insulin was given.

Diabetes Mellitus: metabolism disorder in which there is a reduced ability to oxidize carbohydrates, due to faulty endocrine pancreatic activity. Diabetes Insidious: caused by the malfunction of the pituitary and is usually genetic or constitutional. Symptoms: Unused sugar enters the blood stream and the urine. In the absence of sugar in the urine, the blood may contain excess sugar. If sugar develops in the blood stream, the cells crave for it and this results in weakness, dizziness, cold sweats, excessive thirst, frequent and excessive discharge of urine with or without sugar, numbness in the feet, dryness in the mouth, tiredness, blurring vision, skin disorders, and hypertension. In addition, one may experience weight loss. There is also a tendency for narrowing of the arteries. This may disrupt circulation especially in the feet resulting in advanced gangrene of the feet. Another possible side effect is rupturing of the capillaries of the eyes resulting in blindness. When the sugar level in the blood reaches a certain point (the body pH drops below 4.4), it breaks down to ketones and acetones. This results in blackouts, coma, and even death. Diabetic patients are generally deficient in potassium (similar to low blood pressure). Zinc is a component of insulin and a lack of zinc is also a contributing factor. Sulphur is also found in pancreatic insulin. Insulin, adrenaline and glucagon are important hormones which help in the metabolism of carbohydrates. Insulin helps to lower the blood sugar while the other two raise them. Manganese is lost inevitably, due to excessive urine. This loss may contribute to the kidney problem which is very common among diabetics. Manganese is needed by diabetic patients. It is responsible for glucose tolerance and the ability to remove excess sugar from the blood. Refined carbohydrates cause a rapid increase in the blood sugar level, which in turn increases the production of insulin. With increased levels of insulin, the demand for Chromium increases. (Chromium must be the form of molecules). With a deficiency of chromium, a person who has a normal amount of insulin, may not be able to utilize it. Chromium is found in Brewer’s Yeast, Black Pepper, Wheat Germ, and Whole Wheat Bread. A small dose of chromium, given specially to children, has shown a great improvement in the metabolism of the pancreas. Dried bitter melon has an effect similar to insulin according to Chinese medical books. Honey also has a beneficial effect on the patient. However, it is good to consult a doctor, before changing the diet, as the percentage of sugar level varies from person to person. Less Vitamin ‘C’ results in a lack of insulin. There is a risk of tiny blood vessels. Diuretics may worsen diabetes by producing a potassium or magnesium deficiency. Patients also get benefit from Vit ‘B12’. Loving-Kindness Meditation has also proven to be very helpful in overcoming the root causes of diabetes, which are craving and aversion when that craving is not satisfied. 1] Loving-Kindness Meditation: When mind becomes calm and open it naturally begins to be more accepting of everything so there is very little craving and aversion which arise without being seen and gently let go of.

This is very helpful in learning to overcome all kinds of problems related to diabetes and even diabetes itself. By directing ones loving attention into the pancreas and radiating loving feelings into it, helps to increase the circulation of blood to that area. Practice for at least 30 minutes 2x’s daily. 2] String Beans (bulk or juice): rich in potassium, help restore deficient pancreas exhausted by excess demand for insulin and other enzymes; alkalize the pancreas; as bulk, steam lightly; as juice, extract raw, 1 pint (500 ml.) daily; may be mixed with carrot juice for flavor. 3] Brussels Sprouts (bulk or juice): rich in alkalizing elements with specific affinity for the pancreas; steam lightly for bulk consumption; extract raw juice, and mix with carrot juice, if desired; 1 pint (500 ml.)daily 4] Blackstrap Molasses: use unsulphured Molasses (it is also called blackstrap molasses) only; all cases of diabetes and pancreatitis are associated with iron deficiency; Molasses is one of nature’s richest sources of organic iron and copper, which works together; take 2 tbsp. Molasses in large cup of warm water, 2 x’s daily; absolute abstention from refined starch and sugar required; this regimen has corrected diabetes, pancreatitis and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) in 1-2 months; flavor Molasses with 1/2 tsp. vanilla or almond extract, if desired. 5] Bitter Gourd: Drink one 350 mg glass of bitter gourd juice every morning. It can also be a little easier to take in an enema form, take the whole plant the vines leaves and fruit clean thoroughly in distilled water.

Place 1 1/2 cups in an enema bag. While lying on your left side, let the Bitter gourd into your colon, then lie on your back with a pillow under the buttocks. Continue until the entire 1 1/2 cups are in your colon. Retain for 20 minutes, then evacuate in the toilet. Do this once a day for 2 weeks. 6] Garlic, Vitamins, Brewer’s Yeast: Take 5g of garlic with vitamin and mineral supplements and brewer’s yeast to reduce blood sugar. 7] Lemon Juice, Garlic, Cold Pressed Olive Oil and Cayenne Pepper: Take one whole lemon slice and put in a blender (the skin and seeds too) add 1 1/2 cup of water, 5 peeled garlic gloves, 1 tbsp. of cold pressed olive oil and 1/4 tsp. of cayenne pepper (is optional). Blend for one minute (time it because one minute seems longer than you might think) strain and drink on an empty stomach.

This will make two cups of the juice but drink all at the same time (it looses energy if you try to keep it in the refrigerator and has little effect). Take 1-2 x’s daily for 3 months to balance the pH in the blood. Can also do this with grapefruit juice as well.

Hypoglycemia This is low blood sugar which causes low body and mind energy. A shortage of sugar in the blood can cause a lot of problems and hypoglycemia is due to insufficient glucose in the blood stream. By eating refined foods and sugar, the sugar is absorbed immediately into the blood stream and this causes a strain on the pancreas, the liver, and other endocrine glands in combating excess sugar. The reaction is called reactive hypoglycemia or insulin rebound. This results in an abnormal drop in the sugar level. After a short-lived boost in energy, the blood sugar drops way below the normal level. Adding sugar to food makes things worse. This causes fatigue, depression and irritably. An excess of white sugar, hereditary factors and stress can over stimulate the adrenals. This in turn makes the pancreas produce an excessive amount of insulin to be burned off and results in a weakening of the pancreas. By eliminating refined sugar many of the highs and lows can be avoided. It is better to take complex carbohydrate which allows slow absorption. The practice of loving-kindness meditation directed to the pancreas is very helpful in stimulating the blood circulation to that area and helping the balance not only the mind but the body too.

Food rich in fat causes this problem. It best to consult a doctor before administering any of the remedies as the size of the stone may endanger the passage by collecting in the tube and obstructing the passage.

Ulcers The ulcer is a sore in the walls of the stomach or intestines. Severe inflammation and irritation of the lining of the stomach and duodenum owing to fermentation and putrefaction of incompatible combinations of foods, excess consumption of chemical additives and preservatives, excess alcohol, high acid foods like cereals, white bread, meat, eggs, cheese, coffee, and excessively stimulating spices. The presence of parasites and/or stress is also a cause. Abuse of steroid drugs in treating pain can cause one of the most dangerous forms of ulcers which may appear without the usual pains and bleeding. Raw cabbage contains chlorine and sulphur and Vitamin U which is an anti-ulcer agent and helps to clear the mucus membrane. Honey and okra neutralize the acid. The practice helps very much to relieve the discomfort of the ulcers and the ulcers themselves. A steady practice of Loving-kindness Meditation will also prevent them from arising again. Oral ulcers are due to food allergies, particularly sensitivity to gluten which is found in wheat, rye, oats, and barley. A deficiency of iron, folic acid, Vit B12, or Vit B6 is usually present. Take a gluten free diet and take 2 tbsp. of sulphur-free blackstrap molasses daily. Duodenal Ulcers are associated with gastric over acidity. Stress seems to be the main cause. It is common in people with blood type ‘O’ and alcoholics. Duodenal ulcers produce pain a long time after meals i.e. usually when the stomach is empty. Peptic ulcers are breaks in the lining of the stomach or duodenum which get irritated by the acid of the stomach. Peptic ulcers produce belching, vomiting, and constipation. In treating peptic ulcers, there should be more protein in the diet than usual. However, meat and whole cereals should not be taken. But skinned pulses like tor dal, moong dal can be taken. The usual symptoms are vague pain in the stomach area, nausea, and vomiting. Usually the pain appears within two hours after the meals and can radiate to the back. Untreated peptic ulcers may lead to a hemorrhage or gastric bleeding. They can also perforate the stomach walls. Gastric ulcers occur in the part of the stomach which leads on to the duodenum. The reason for them may be delayed gastric emptying, excess of gastric acid, damage to the stomach lining or reduced resistance of the lining. It is common among people with blood type ‘A’, smokers and those who have taken drugs such as aspirin, steroids and anti-inflammatory drugs. Since acid secretion is raised by milk and milk products, it is better to avoid them. Foods rich in Vitamin C, A, and zinc are necessary to treat ulcers. All food should be well cooked. According to Dr. Paul Jayraj, a research pathologist at the University College of London, rice eaters are more prone to stomach ulcers. 1] Loving-Kindness Meditation: Placing ones soft attention into the uncomfortable area and opening the mind, letting go of all tightness in the mind, then radiating love

Flatulence Fermented foods create toxins and produce gas. This puts a lot of pressure on many abdominal organs. Starchy foods and fruit eaten together cause gas production. This becomes worse if followed by creamed coffee or tea with, or immediately after meals. The most common cause of gas formation is the inability of the digestive system to handle the load of work that is put on it. Some foods such as beans, produce more gas than others and regularly eating them causes this problem (if the beans are not properly prepared). A heavy usage of laxatives and antacids can also cause an excess of gas.

If food allergy is present, eliminating the offending food will stop the symptoms from reoccurring.

This is a time when the daily practice of meditation becomes most useful. Whenever the body is in distress the mind ‘has a mind of its own’ and really gets into the aversion to the situation. When one practices daily in the prescribed way, they prepare their mind for any major problems when they arise. So staying open and loving of yourself and your body is much easier to do when they are prepared. Putting love into the area of pain helps the circulation to improve and healing takes place much easier. 1] Loving-Kindness Meditation: Place your soft attention into the painful area. Then open your mind and relax, letting go of all tightness and tension. Now radiate a warm glowing feeling of love into that area where there was dislike. What are you are really doing by letting go of the tightness? You are releasing the hard mind that is fighting the sensation and replacing it with acceptance. The truth of the present moment is ‘when there is pain in the body, that pain is there’. Your disliking it and wanting it to go away is a form of fighting the truth of the moment. This causes more pain and suffering to occur. Loving-kindness opens up the mind and relaxes away that fighting so one can begin to put love into that pain instead of hate. Very important is to practice for at least 30 minutes 2 x’s daily. 2] Ginger, Orange Juice: Squeeze fresh ginger (50g) and stir into warm orange juice 350g. Take as needed. 3] Cinnamon, Honey: Strong tea of cinnamon with a spoon of honey is effective against food poisoning due to spoilt food.

Arthritis The word “Arthritis” means an inflammation of the joints, “Arthro” referring to the joints and “itis” to inflammation. It effects people of all ages and is especially common in temperate climates. It is not a single disease but can start with various problems such as pain in the joints, sleeplessness, a white coated tongue, stiff joints, belching, stomach gas, constipation, cataracts, hiatus hernia, gallstones and kidney stones. All are related either directly or indirectly to a faulty diet.

And also caused by deposits of inorganic calcium in the cartilage of joints, where they eventually form ‘spurs’ that cause intense pain and inhibit movement of joints; these deposits are caused by incomplete digestion of incompatible foods and accumulation of toxic wastes throughout the system; the body dumps these inorganic minerals in the joints, where they don’t pollute the bloodstream; excess consumption of concentrated starch and sugar and too much cooked meat in the diet are major factors. Arthritis is often found in the spine. Every area of the body is controlled by the nerves which run through the spine and thus when the vertebrae become fused by deposits of acid, the whole body is affected. If the cervical column is affected the results are: headache, migraine, nervousness, insomnia, high blood pressure, neuralgia, vertigo, earache, eye problems, acne, pimples, and especially a stiff neck, pain in the upper arm, and thyroid conditions. If the dorsal region is affected the results are: chest pains, heart conditions, bronchitis, pleurisy and especially pains in the lower arms and hands. If the lumbar area is affected the results are: constipation, ruptures, hernia, appendicitis, varicose veins, menstrual problems, and especially knee pains, sciatica, lumbago and back ache. The different types of arthritis are: rheumatoid, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (Still’s Disease), osteoarthritis, gout, pseudoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, septic arthritis, Reiter’s syndrome, anklyosing spondylitis, neurogenic joint disease and arthritis in other illnesses such as flu. The two basic forms are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis and the underlying cause of both is believed to be an excess of uric acid in the body. The basic causes of arthritis are fundamentally by overloading the body with poison-toxemia and this is the result of diet: excessive consumption of white sugar products, white flour products, white rice products, alcohol, and wrong combinations of food. Stress and physical over-activity are also factors and recent research also contributes hormonal imbalance as a cause. Refined sugar, flour, rice, cereals, beef and pork all produces a lot of acid and in addition over-cooking destroys the alkaline mineral salts essential to neutralize this acid. It, then, is carried around in the blood until it eventually deposits itself between the joints, on the bones or in the muscles. When the acid collects on the joints a stabbing pain is felt and the they can become locked. In some cases, the joint makes a grating sound (creptis) as it moves on the hard acid deposits. Acid deposits can also wear off synovial membrane and very often the actual joints themselves are worn down. When this occurs, it is not possible to reverse the situation. There are various medications that control inflammation and joint damage. Unfortunately there are also terrible side effects which can cause new problems! However, if there is a properly balanced food intake containing sufficient nutrients, it is possible to burn up the excess acid, dissolve the deposits, alleviate the pain and halt further damage. Unfortunately, much of the food we eat today is lacking in these nutrients. But if you go to organically grown food stores the nutrients are much higher and your health will improve dramatically. In food and exercise therapy, the first step is to use diet to help eliminate the poison which is causing irritation in the joints, muscles and nerves.

The 2nd step is to do simple exercises which will activate the affected region. This, in turn, increases the circulation of blood and provides a plentiful supply of oxygen to rejuvenate the body. It is also the best way to relax. The 3rd step is to maintain the health of the affected region and prevent it from becoming infected or inflamed again by controlling the diet and performing proper more active exercises. Therapeutic fasting and cleansing of the bowels is a very effective way to take the toxins out of the body. This is recommended only with a qualified doctors assistance. But one must take responsibility for their own health and well being, by eating and exercising properly every day. These suggestions must be taken seriously by every individual who is suffering from arthritis: - Eat to live. Don’t live to eat. - Eat no salt and cut out the eating of all animal meat and fat. - Avoid meats, alcohol, fried foods, white sugar, white polished rice, white flour and white bread, stop taking all milk products except yogurt, and all pastries. - Eat fresh fruits and organic vegetables. - Use only cold pressed olive oil, or any other cold pressed oil. - Take plenty of wholemeal cereals. - Practice Loving-Kindness Meditation daily. Above all avoid junk foods. These include prepared and processed food, packed food, canned food including soft drinks, all sugar products, chemical and preservative laden foods, refined flour and its products, polished white rice, coffee, tea, alcohol, and frozen fruits. Eat instead fresh fruits and organically grown raw vegetables. Sodium is a neutralizer. Whenever acid is produced anywhere in the body, sodium is withdrawn from the stomach and then from the joints to neutralize the acid. When sodium is removed from the joints, calcium is deposited. However, if enough sodium is present in the joints, there is little chance for the waste acids to accumulate. Uric acid builds up when there is lack of sodium in the body. Sodium also helps elasticity and limberness. To increase natural sodium, it is best to eat plants grown and ripened in the sunlight. Cabbage, strawberry juice, goat’s milk, whey water, cottage cheese and celery are good sources of sodium. It is also found in okra, apples, dried figs, lettuce, squash, carrots, asparagus, potato peels, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, horse radish, dried prunes, sweet almond, garlic and onions.

And sometimes (not every time) the pain will simply stop, so this practice of calming one’s mind and sending loving thoughts into painful areas helps to heal the situation.

Fever Fevers are the result of the body trying to ‘incinerate’ waste matter stirred up in the system as the result of other conditions, such as colds, flu, and infectious diseases. Hippocrates wrote, ‘If you feed a fever, you’ll have to starve a cold’, which has been misquoted as ‘Feed a fever, starve a cold’. Thus, the best remedy for any fever is complete fasting, plus colonic irrigations to accelerate elimination of waste matter from the body. If you ‘feed a fever’, you’ll only make things worse. Fever is not a disease in itself. An infection or inflammation produces toxins which when they reach the hypothalamus (heat regulating region) in the brain, disturb the balance and the body temperature increases. Not every rise in temperature is due to toxins and so not every rise in temperature is a fever. Fever appears when white blood cells have to fight against foreign bodies. Doing loving-kindness meditation is very helpful when one has a fever. But, mind has a tendency to get rather spacey and has trouble focusing at that time. So, what is needed is a lot of rest and following the other remedies, plus, when resting and you can remember lightly radiate love to yourself and try not to be disappointed when the mind spaces out again. Symptoms: During a fever, the person feels flushed, may sweat, feel headache, and if there is muscular contractions may shiver. The symptoms depend upon the region or organs that has been affected. In children, one notices a pale face, irritability, loss of appetite and drowsiness. Fever is generally accompanied by hot dry skin, rapid pulse, chills and body aches. Dehydration during fever reduces the flow of urine. A high fever can cause delirium and convulsions. If the temperature rises rapidly, it is good to control it with cold compresses over the forehead using a towel dampened in water and apple cider vinegar. Sponging the entire body sometimes helps as well. In children the sponging should be done using tepid (not cold) water. Sweating should be induced only when the temperature is in safe range. When sweating stops the trouble starts as the patient may be heading towards hyper-pyrexia (delirium). With children, one should not take chances when there is fever! A slight delay can result in convulsions. There is a chance of a child becoming epileptic after several convulsions. During a convulsion, the child should be made to lie on their stomach with their mouth turned to one side so that it does not choke on any vomit. To prevent them from biting their tongue, a pencil or cloth must be stuffed in between the teeth. Medical attention is very necessary. Lemon juice and fruit juice are good to be given during a fever. Sweet basil tea, and peppermint tea, are good to relieve fever. Others include olive , passion flower, sandalwood, sarsaparilla. The caloric requirements of a patient suffering from fever is higher than a normal person. Also a higher quality of protein is required as tissue protein is lost during fever, the patient may not relish any food and this is alright. Taking juices and fasting is the easiest way to overcome the fever. 1] Loving-Kindness Meditation: Try to remember to send as much loving and kind thoughts to yourself as possible. If one practices for at least 30 minutes 2 x’s daily, then when a fever appears it is easier to remember.

It produces swelling through the abdominal wall, or in the groin or in the upper thigh that increases under strain. The main cause is an imperfect growth of the wall of that region or injury due to physical strain such as lifting heavy objects, constipation, obesity or poor posture. In the early stages it can be cured by doing simple exercises which strengthen the region, applying oak bark tea and apple cider vinegar fomentation or applying a poultice of Comfrey leaves. Hernia (hiatal) occurs, if the sphincter is too high up in the chest and acid flows up into the esophagus. It is common in overweight and pregnant women.

Hemorrhoids/ Piles This increasingly common affliction is caused by stagnation and coagulation of blood fibron in the tiny capillaries that feed the anus and lower rectum; this is mainly the result of sticky toxic waste in the bloodstream, owing to excess consumption of refined starch, especially white bread and other flour products; in addition to dietary adjustments, daily practice of the anal sphincter exercise. Pain is felt during evacuation and streaks of blood appear in the motion. The blood may be black. There will be rectal bleeding. A feeling of fullness in the anus is also another symptom. This can be caused by constipation further irritated by laxatives and toxins from the intestines. The exertion of pressure on the rectal and abdominal vein system causes hemorrhoids. Obesity, pregnancy, liver problems, abdominal tumors, coughing, and sneezing all increase pressure on those veins.

The main cause of kidney stones is eating highly refined foods, animal protein, dietary calcium, salt, foods rich in oxalic acid such as tea, coffee, chocolate, peanuts, spinach, beet root and alcohol. In tropical countries they are common mainly due to a loss of fluid through excessive perspiration, resulting in an increased concentration of urine.

Foods that cause stones because of rich oxalate and phosphate contents are: tomato, fish, crab, jack fruit, onions. Whole cereals are rich in phosphates leafy vegetables in calcium and oxalates and milk; these should all be avoided.

really helps. If one has practiced and been good about doing it daily for a period of time, when/if kidney stones appear, they will naturally begin to open and soften the mind every time a pain arises. The dislike and resistance to pain will make that pain so unbearable that a person suffering from it must take huge amounts of minddeadening morphine. But when a person doesn’t resist the pain with their mind, then they begin to learn about the true nature of the mind/body process. The practice won’t make the pain go away, but it will make easier to endure it. All awareness is lost when the person takes heavy drugs to try and run away from painful sensations. But when opening and accepting pain as your teacher, your awareness and understanding of this mind/body process becomes very clear and enlightening. 1] Loving-Kindness Meditation: When this is practiced daily for 30 minutes 2x’s the meditator begins to learn how to open and relax the mind as well as radiating love into painful sensations (as opposed to hate and dissatisfaction). This helps immeasurably when a crisis situation like kidney stones may occur. Keeping the mind from contracting around the painful feeling will turn into a very real learning experience if it is done with confidence. It is necessary to keep opening the mind and radiating love into those feelings as long as they are present. This is not an impossible thing to do and even though it may be somewhat difficult, it is an amazing learning experience when it is done. 2] Starfruit, Honey: Boil fresh 3 whole starfruits with 2 tbsp. of honey and 3 cups of distilled water - drink the juice and eat the fruit as well 2 x’s a day to relieve stones.

Take 3 x’s daily before meals to expel stones. (can take without straining as puree if desired). 6] Watermelon: This is an excellent adjunct to asparagus therapy; eat nothing but lightly steamed asparagus (every hour) and eat 3 to 4 small pieces of watermelon every 5 to 10 minutes of every waking hour for 24-72 hours. Also taking foods with sodium in them is necessary. 7] Parsley Tea: For gravel and kidney or bladder stones, parsley tea is used. Wash some fresh parsley and cover in hot water. Keep it warm for 30 minutes. Later cool, drink the liquid every hour. Then take starfruit as described above. 8] Castor Oil Pack: This works very well in dissolving kidney stones.

The reason is that the body can’t absorb any more than that. There is no danger at all in harming yourself with the ozone when used with common sense. Drinking cool ozonated water is good for the whole system; Ozonated essential oils for massage works very well; as does soaking the feet for 30 minutes in ozonated water. 9] Other Beneficial Foods: parsley; celery juice; asparagus; grapefruit juice (in distilled water); black grapes (exclusively 1-3 days); Black cherries (exclusively 1-3 days); high fiber foods; wheat germ oil; lecithin; pecans unpolished rice; apple cider vinegar; blackstrap molasses; lemon; parsley; celery; pumpkin seeds; sunflower seeds; brewer’s yeast; raw apples; young coconut; garlic; onions; watermelon. 10] Foods to Avoid: Incompatible combinations, especially of animal protein and concentrated starch; pasteurized milk; cooked eggs; overcooked meats; all foods fried

situation is cured. The reason to alternate the pack from the thymus gland to the liver is, over the thymus gland the castor oil pack will loosen the phlegm and mucus, then when placed over the liver it takes the loosened toxins out of the body, so it can stay in balance. 9] Ozone Therapy: Ozone works exceptionally well on the lungs. After taking a hot bath or steam sauna, soak the entire body in a sauna bag filled with ozone. The patient can begin to cough and spit up mucus and phlegm (don’t be alarmed as long as it is not too bad. But if the patient seems to have real problems with this therapy then stop). soaking the feet in cool ozonated water helps the circulation; ozonated essential oils work quite well on the lungs; ozonated drinking water is good.

Pleurisy This is a disease of the membrane around the lungs and is quite uncomfortable, it causes shortness of breathe and coughing. When one practices loving-kindness meditation they learn how not to resist the feeling of coughing. Soften the mind and allow the body to cough without resistance. This is amazing how well it works to relieve the lungs and throat. 1] Loving-Kindness Meditation: Direct your attention into the feeling of wanting to cough and relax the mind and throat, feel them open up and lose the tightness.

Asthma Extreme difficulty in breathing owing to inability to fully evacuate the lungs of stale air; accumulations of mucus in the lungs and consequent blockage of air passages block outflow of air, not inflow. People suffering from asthma gasp for breath. This is usually due to an allergy or secondary to some cardiac or renal disease. Childhood asthma is linked to the presence of eczema and hay fever. There is a wise saying which goes “ an exclusively breast feed child never suffers from asthma”. Something for modern mothers to think about! The practice of loving-kindness is most useful to calm the mind and open it when there is distress. Bronchial asthma is classified as follows: - Acute bronchial asthma: this occurs generally in children. Attacks come on suddenly and subside suddenly as well without treatment. - Chronic Bronchial Asthma: The attack is sudden with low wheezing on slight exertion, restlessness, itching in the nose and a cough may or may not be present. During an attack take very little food. Avoid heavy meals, generally. Take easily digestible foods such as whole wheat bread and honey. Drink warm ozonated water and have plenty of liquid in the diet. Juices are best during an attack. Eating almonds is one of the best things to do for lung and chest problems but they should not be eaten alone as they are difficult to digest (so make sure when eating them to chew until they become liquid before swallowing them). 1] Loving-Kindness Meditation: Every time there is any kind of problem in the body as with asthma. One’s mind naturally tries to fight it by tightening and not liking that feeling. The practice of loving-kindness shows one how to do the opposite with their mind. This opening and accepting, then radiating the feeling of love into the stressful area of the lungs and throat helps to relieve a lot of discomfort. Practice this for at least 30 minutes 2 x’s daily for the best results. 2] Horseradish and Lemon Juice: the potent ethers in fresh grated horseradish dissolve mucus in the sinuses and bronchial tubes quickly and effectively; mixing it with fresh lemon juice doubles its efficacy; grated fresh horseradish into a bowl, add enough fresh lemon juice to make a paste, take 1/2 tsp 2-3 times a day, as needed.

Influenza The ‘flu’ is caused primarily by the body’s vulnerability to flu germs owing to extreme toxemia of the system, which results in excessive retention of toxic wastes, which impair immunity; flu strikes hardest in winter, because in winter the body excretes wastes more slowly and people eat less fresh, raw foods; toxic tissues, mostly in respiratory apparatus, become breeding grounds for air-borne pathological bacteria. As with all such conditions, the most effective first step in treatment is a short therapeutic fast with daily colonic irrigations to remove the source of toxemia, followed by therapeutic nutrition and loving-kindness meditation. 1] Loving-Kindness Meditation: Place your attention wherever there is discomfort.

Pneumonia Severe inflammation of lung tissues owing to vicarious elimination of highly toxic wastes through the respiratory system, which becomes infected by pathogenic bacteria as a result; due largely to excessive long-term consumption of pasteurized milk, refined starch and sugars; at the turn of the century, Dr. J. H. Tilden of Denver, Colorado, treated thousands of cases of pneumonia using only two methods: fasting with daily colonic irrigations, and nutritional therapy; no drugs, no surgery; and he never lost a single patient!!! Therefore, fasting and colonic irrigation are the first and foremost defense against this dangerous disease. Also it is very important to have a mind that is calm and accepting of your situation. This is where loving-kindness is so important. 1] Loving-Kindness Meditation: Place your soft attention on your lungs, open and rleax your mind.

Sore Throat 1] Loving-Kindness Meditation: So many times when a person gets a sore throat their mind immediately tightens around that feeling and tries to mentally push that feeling away. One would think that after doing it so many times that we would learn that this is the wrong approach because the sore throat always gets worse and more uncomfortable. Loving-kindness shows us how to open and relax the mind, letting go of all tightness and the want to control and push away. When the mind becomes soft and relaxed, then we radaite love into the throat area. This is the way to begin the healing process by loving acceptance. Practice this everytime the throat pulls your attention to it and also do it for at least 30 minutes 2 x’s daily. 2] Watermelon Juice: Drink three cups of watermelon juice daily for sore throat. Let it trickle down the throat to get full benefit. 3] Cucumber Juice: Blend 250 g cucumber with 1 cup of water for one minute.

Take lots of rest (rest actually means sleep, not reading, not lying down watching TV, not listening to music, simple sleep and Vitamin C along with these other remedies will work very well and fast if combined with sleep. If you feel a cold or sore throat coming on and you try to power your way through it without rest you will have the cold for as long as it wants to last the choice is yours, always. And that choice is take rest and Vit. C along with the other remedies for one day or be sick for at least one week). 10] Rice soup: Watery unpolished rice soup, cooked until the rice is mushy.

Tonsillitis Excessive retention of wastes and extreme acidosis permit germs to enter the body through the throat thereby inflaming the tonsils. The tonsils are the first line of defense against incoming airborne germs. Surgical removal, especially in children, is harmful, because the tonsils are glands that are intimately involved in endocrine balance. Removal can adversely affect growth and normal development in children, especially in girls. Colonic irrigation has proven highly effective in curing tonsillitis by removing the offending accumulation of toxic wastes that inflame the respiratory system when in excess. Loving-kindness meditation works equally well on the tonsills as it does on the throat. 1] Loving-Kindness Meditation: The same as for the throat. Place your soft attention in the throat area, let go of tightness in the head and mind. Then radiate love into the throat area. Do this whenever your mind is pulled to the discomfortable feeling and also do it for at least 30 minutes 2 x’s daily.

Angina Pectoris A gradual narrowing of the coronary arteries leads to angina. As a result the heart has to work harder with more exertion and the heart muscles may require more blood to supply their own needs. Painful contractions and cramps in the valves and muscles of the heart and/or pericardium, due primarily to polluted blood, and sometimes to excess pressure from gas in the colon.

Arteriosclerosis This is a narrowing of the arteries. Atheroma is one form of arteriosclerosis. Fatty material laid down in the thin membrane, lining the inner walls of the artery, resulting in narrowing of the artery. Plaques of atheroma collect and may ulcerate through the lining, leaving a raw surface. Platelets from the blood may be deposited on those areas to form a clot. Should a clot form in one of the coronary arteries, it will block the artery. This is called coronary occlusion. The pain is similar to that of angina, but is not relieved by rest. If the heart muscle supplied by that artery is deprived of its supply of blood, the muscle will die and the result is myocardial infarction. An impaired blood supply to any tissue is termed Ischaema. If the blockage is in a large artery death may occur. The symptoms are angina attacks, absence of urine and paralysis. There are many factors which can lead to the formation of atheroma: heredity, high level blood fats (lipids) like cholesterol and tryglycerides; high blood pressure; obesity; nervous tension and lack of physical exercise. Most of these symptoms are reversible. A diet that is rich in animal fats increase the cholesterol and one rich in refined carbohydrates increase tryglycerides. Loving-kindness meditation is essential for clearing away problems in and around the heart. Practice it often for the best results. 1] Loving-Kindness Meditation: Place your soft attention into the heart area or where there may be some pain. Open and relax away the tightness in your mind and let go of the tension in your head. Now radiate that loving warm feeling into that area.

If the case is severe the pack can only be used over the thymus gland to break up the cholesterol and fatty tissue that may block the blood from circulating. The pack may be used up to 4 times daily, but even in the most severe cases it is good to occasionally place the pack over the liver and intestines to help detoxify the system. 10] Ozone Therapy: Ozonated essential oils can be of some help but not given with massage, just lightly apply; ozonated drinking water is good; soak the feet in water that is being ozonated for 30 minutes. 11] Other Beneficial Foods: Blackstrap molasses; raw spinach; celery; lettuce; black grapes (if juiced then puree); pumpkin seeds; raw tomatoes; seaweed (kelp); Black currents; nutmeg; olive; onion; lemon; ozonated aloe vera applied to the chest; beet; brewer’s yeast; lecithin; string beans; wheat germ oil; pecans; papaya. 12] Foods to Avoid: pasteurized milk and all dairy products; all foods fried in oil; cooked eggs; animal fat, especially lard; cooked meats, especially pork; all preserved and canned foods; salt; especially avoid white sugar, refined starches; polished white rice; coffee or tea; spicy foods; chocolate; ice cream; alcohol; nicotine.

Cholesterol Levels If the total cholesterol count (for both ‘high density lipids’ HDL and low density lipids LDL combined) is over 200, it is too high and should be lowered. To lower the cholesterol go on a high fiber low fat diet - especially saturated fats and get plenty of exercise and fresh air. If the cholesterol level is 135 or below, it is too low and it is depressing your immune system. You will need to raise it to get back in balance. The fastest way to do this is to boil 2 eggs for 3 minutes until the whites are cooked, but the yolk is soft; or poach 2 eggs until the whites are cooked, but the yolk is still liquid. Place them over mashed potatoes or over 2 rice cakes and make this your breakfast. Do this once a day. This should help raise your cholesterol level and boost the immune system. Actually the total cholesterol count is less important than the ratio of HDLs to LDLs. If the ratio is 4 or less, you are in good shape and your arteries are not being

112

Therapeutic Fasting

plugged up with LDLs. To determine the ratio, divide the HDLs into the total cholesterol count. For example, if your total cholesterol count is 200 and your HDLs are 50, your ratio is 4 (200 divided by 50 = 4). Your are right on the border line, but OK. However, if your total cholesterol count is 180 and your HDLs are 30 your ratio is 6 ( 180 divided by 30 = 6). This means your arteries are being plugged up with cholesterol as you have an insufficient amount of HDLs to dissolve the LDLs. You had better follow a program to raise your HDLs. Eat little or no animal fat. Eat nonfat yogurt and sprouts and supplement your diet with lecithin and flax oil. Plus get plenty of exercise. HDL stands for “High Density Lipids”. HDL’s are the good cholesterol, as they dissolve the LDL’s and prevent them from settling on the arterial walls. Exercise, Lecithin is the best natural substances to raise HDL’s. Lecithin is sold in capsule form, granular and liquid forms. The high concentrated natural source is found in flax oil, pumpkin seed oil, salmon oil and fish oil. To a lesser degree amounts are found in soy oil, soy milk, walnuts, and dark green vegetables. Things to avoid are coffee in all forms, tea especially when milk is added, polished white rice, white sugar, refined starches, and red meats. Loving-kindness meditation into the heart area improves the circulation and purifies the blood do this for 30 minutes 2x’s daily for best results.

Vascular Disease This is a narrowing of the arteries in the legs. The symptoms are pain in the calf and thigh muscles while walking, skin appearing pale and cool to the touch, hair on toes may fall of. This is associated with smoking and lack of exercise. Also the daily practice of loving-kindness is essential for a healthy mind and body. 1] Loving-Kindness Meditation: Placing your loving attention into problems areas like the leg arteries helps to bring more blood to that area and it helps to open the arteries thereby promoting better circulation there. Letting go of all tightness in the mind and all of the tension in your head radiate that gentle loving energy into that area. Do this while sitting in a chair is best. If you try to do this while sitting on the floor with crossed legs, the circulation very well could be blocked and this defeats the purpose of the meditation. Do this for at least 30 mnutes 2x’s daily. In severe cases practice this as much as possible. 2] Vit-C and Vit-E: Take 3000 iu of vitamin C daily and 400 iu of Vitamin E to help with circulation. 3] Soybean and Water: Boil 50g of soybean in water and eat once a day. 4] Lecithin: lecithin unclogs the cholesterol build up in the veins and arteries; it soothes the gall bladder and liver; take 1 tsp of liquid lecithin before breakfast daily.

Circulatory Problems Circulatory problems deprive a part of the body of enough oxygenated blood. Arteries which carry blood can change and this can lead to clogging, constriction, hardening and obstruction. The risk increases with age. Cold hands and feet are characteristic of blood vessel problems. Numbness and tingling of the hands may also be felt. Cramps in the legs are another symptom. This is due to a narrowing of the arteries or impaired blood supply and it can occur in the limbs. The fingers or toes become white on exposure to cold and later purple. Loving-kindness meditation is very helpful with all circulation problems. 1] Loving-Kindness Meditation: Placing your soft attention into the problem area, open and let go of all tightness in your mind. Then relax away the tension in your head, now radiate love and calmness into that area. Do this for at least 30 minutes 3 or 4 times a day until the problem goes away. Then cut down to 30 minutes 2x’s daily. 2] Cayenne Pepper: Powdered cyan pepper is good for seasoning to help overcome circulatory problems (use sparingly, this means not too much - sprinkle on food like salt). 3] Grape and Cucumber Juice: Blend black grapes and cucumbers together and drink 3 x’s daily. 1 1/2 - 2 liters daily for three weeks. 4] Tomato and Ginger Juice: Taking tomato juice and mixing it with boiled ginger water is very good for purifying the blood. Use one liter daily, taken 3 x’s a day before meals. 5] Spinach Juice: Raw spinach juice mixed with a little water corrects the Ph imbalance in the digestive tract and bloodstream, thus eliminating a major source of toxic wastes that leave deposits in blood vessels. 500 ml daily, or take in bulk 1/2 kg daily. 6] Castor Oil Pack: Place the castor oil pack over the liver and intestines for 1 hr. daily for 6 days then rest 1 day and repeat. This detoxifies the blood and improves the circulation to the extremities. Castor oil helps the blood to absorb more oxygen and thereby promotes circulation. 7] Ozone Therapy: After taking a hot bath or steam sauna, soak the entire body in a sauna bag filled with ozone for 30 minutes daily, to greatly improve circulation to all parts of the body; soak the feet in ozonated water for 30 minutes daily; ozonated essential oils are very effective in improving circulation (when given with massage). Drink plenty of cool ozonated water daily (2 -4 liters). 8] Other Beneficial Foods: Beet root and tops; pineapple; blackberries; strawberries; grapefruits; oranges; pears; honey; cayenne powder; red cherries; parsley; blackstrap molasses; apple cider vinegar; dark grapes; radish; brewer’s yeast.

Blood Clotting Clots form at the damaged region of blood vessels. Blood platelets stick to the damaged lining. Blood cells are caught in the area and thus form clots. The blood platelets can become excessively sticky due to certain problems of the body like asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, migraine and high blood fat. This is not usually found in diabetes. The condition can be minimized by taking fish oils (in pill form). evening primrose, garlic oil, pineapple, lecithin, ginger and supplements like Vit. B6 and Vit C. Soybean prevents the blood from clotting in the arteries. Capsicum or cayenne pepper may also prevent blood clots. The practice of loving-kindness meditation is very helpful in improving the circulation to that area. 1] Loving-Kindness Meditation: Place your soft attention into the area of concern. Open and relax the tightness in the mind and tension in the area (as well as in your head). Now radiate love and acceptance into that area. Do this for at least 30 minutes 2x’s daily (unless there is a severe problem then increase to as many as 6 x’s daily). 2] Cinnamon Bark: Cinnamon Bark tea helps to unlock blood clots, also using a poultice. 3] Ginger Root Poultice and Tea: Boil some ginger root then strain and make a poultice out of the ginger root on a clean cloth then put on affected area. Drinking the tea helps, too . 4] Black Pepper Tea: Boil black pepper in water for 10 minutes then drink (no need to grind up). All of these teas mentioned can be used singly by themselves or you can make a combination any of them. Drink the tea 3 x’s daily until the problem goes away. 5] Castor Oil Pack: Place the castor oil pack over the clotted area for 1 hr (if it is in a convenient position) one day and the next over the liver and intestines the next. Do this until the clot goes away. 6] Ozone Therapy: After a hot bath or steam sauna, soak the entire body in a sauna bag filled with ozone for 30 minutes daily; drink cool ozonated water daily; Do NOT use massage on the clotted area, but one can apply the essential oil lightly on the clotted area.

Blood Pressure (High) Excessive pressure of blood against the walls of the blood vessels, owing primarily to diets of denatured and overcooked foods, which deposit inorganic minerals and cholesterol against walls of blood vessels, narrowing and hardening them raising blood pressure; also caused by excess retention of toxic byproducts of protein putrefaction in the digestive tract and liver. If the arterioles contract, the blood cannot flow easily. The heart has to pump it with greater force. 120/80 (systolic / diastolic) is a good reading. The systolic count refers to the expulsion of the blood from the heart

115

Therapeutic Fasting

when it contracts and the diastolic movement refers to the expansion of the heart. The more difficulty the blood has in flowing, the higher the number will be. Arterial walls tighten due to deposits of cholesterol and hardens due to deposits of cholesterol and calcium. This results in high blood pressure. Besides the usual hurry and worry, unreleased stress is also a contributory cause. In the majority of cases, the cause of hypertension will not be clearly identified. This is known as primary or essential hypertension. The tendency to develop essential hypertension is inherited. However, in addition to this, environmental factors play an important role. Hypertension with an identifiable cause is secondary hypertension. The cause of secondary hypertension, in the majority of cases is due to ingestion ofd drugs and chemicals. Estrogen, progestogen and oral contraceptives rank first among many other drugs. Liquorice often eaten in sweets or derivatives used in treating peptic ulcers, causes water and sodium retention which in turn can increase blood pressure. Corticosteriod, anti-inflammatory drugs and certain appetite killing agents have a similar effect. A high intake of cardamom which displaces some of the zinc salts which controls the blood pressure is also a contributing factor. Drugs like contraceptives and chemicals like lead can cause high blood pressure. The chemicals in hair blackening increase blood pressure. Blood pressure is a good indicator of stroke, heart disease and kidney problems. It also indicates the mal-function of adrenal glands. Hypertension is not related to nervous tension. A calm person may have high blood pressure too. Some doctors feel that exposure to lead poisoning can be one of the main factors. Other possible causes are: overweight, excess fat in the diet; unrevealed stress; and the other adverse effects of coffee and tea. When blood pressure is too high, the blood vessels may burst. If this happens in the heart, it can cause a heart attack. If it happens in the brain it can cause a stroke. Hypertension is linked to strokes, kidney problems and heart attacks. High blood pressure over a length of time may damage the kidneys. The practice of lovingkindness meditation is very useful in helping one to calm their mind and to let go of stress. The symptoms are usually symptomless, however some complain about the following: heaviness in the head, redness of the eyes, an uneasy feeling towards crowds and noise, trembling of the hands and legs, constipation, noises in the ears and a desire for cold food and drinks. They may be due to hypertension but it is best to consult with a physician. - Calcium helps to keep the pressure under control. It helps to stabilize the arterial blood flow. Calcium is a natural diuretic, i.e. it clears excess sodium. Calcium is found in yogurt, cottage cheese, bean curd, turnips, mustard greens, and broccoli. - Potassium is essential to strengthen the cellular walls and keep the pressure under control (indirectly). Potassium is lost in refining food and cooking vegetables in large quantity of water. Potassium supplements increase the pressure if the sodium intake is low. If diuretics are taken, along with sodium, the potassium is also washed off and may cause erratic blood pressure. Vegetarians tend to have a lower rate of this problem because of the dietary intake of potassium. Potassium is found in avocado, banana, dates with pits, prunes, watermelon, cooked oatmeal, brown rice, peaches,

116

cherries, pineapple, oranges, grapefruit, wheat germ, cooked lentils, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, potato with peel, winter squash, spinach, and molasses. Raw fruits can also supply the necessary potassium. - Onion contains prostaglandin which reduces blood pressure and prevents clotting. - Garlic is the safest and surest way to relieve (though not cure) blood pressure and strain on the heart. Garlic contains allicin which is rich in sulphur and helps reduce fat in the blood and liver, selenium which prevents clotting and the trace mineral manganese. It also brings down the level of cholesterol and fibrinogen (a clotting factor). - Soybean is very rich in lecithin which helps dissolve the cholesterol. 1] Loving-Kindness Meditation: Place your soft attention on your heart area. Let go of all tightness around that area. Open your mind and let go of all tension in your head. Now radiate love into your heart wishing yourself peace and tranquility. Do this for at least 3 0 minutes 4 x’s daily in severe cases and 2x’s daily at other times. 2] Carrot, Celery, Parsley, Spinach Juice: same benefits and usage as for arteriosclerosis, which is usually accompanied by high blood pressure. 3] Spinach: raw spinach corrects pH imbalance in the digestive tract and bloodstream, thus eliminating a major source of toxic wastes that leave deposits in blood vessels and raise blood pressure. 4] Beet and Carrot Juice: same effects and usage as for arteriosclerosis. 5] Blackstrap Molasses: builds and balances the bloodstream, eliminating toxic conditions that lead to high blood pressure; 2 tbsp. in cup of warm water, 2 x’s daily. 6] Celery Juice and Honey: Blend two cups of celery with water and add one tbsp. of honey, heat before taking; take 2 x’s daily.

Eat more foods that reduces blood pressure such as celery, banana, onion, soybean lecithin, raw garlic; wheat germ oil; wheat germ; unpolished rice; pecans; raw sunflower seeds; raw tomatoes; parsley; radish; raw tomatoes and celery juice; bittergourd; and honey. 14] Foods to Avoid: refined starches; white sugar; pasteurized milk; fatty meats; all foods fried in oil; polished white rice; all canned foods; salt and salt-preserved foods; alcohol; stimulating spices such as hot peppers, curry, mustard; sour and pungent foods; think of table salt as being harmful to your life; liver; kidney and all kinds of meat in general;.

Low Blood Pressure This means lowered systolic pressure relative to age. The difference between systolic and diastolic should be between 30 to 40 mm of Hg. This indicates the load on the cardiac activity. Low blood pressure is an indication of low metabolism, hypothyroidism, and tiredness. The cause can be fasting; malnutrition; excessive fear and worry and an overly passive life. The symptoms are: early exhaustion; irritability; empty feeling in the head and cold sensations; light-headedness; dizziness. 1] Sun Bath: 5-20 minutes of soaking up the suns light daily helps very much to overcome low blood pressure. Good nourishing foods are helpful. Avoid fasting and purgatives. It is important to take smaller meals, but more frequently to keep the blood sugar level up. 2] Beneficial Foods: Rosemary, ginger, cinnamon, onion and garlic. Boil a banana stem in water and drink it as tea 3 x’s daily.

Headache There are dozens of different types of headache, but most are caused primarily by excess pressure in the tiny capillaries that feed the brain; this pressure is caused by impurities in the bloodstream, which not only block the tiny capillaries but also deprive the brain of oxygen and glucose. A headache is usually a symptom of something else wrong in the body. Headaches that last for days, frequently reappearing, associated with mental disturbances and those that come on suddenly

Varicose Veins Varicose veins is a condition in which the veins become enlarged, dilated or thickened. The walls of the veins become relaxed and pressed inwardly upon the nerves resulting in the formation of ulcers on the veins. The symptoms: the 1st sign is a swelling along the course of the vein followed by muscular cramps and feeling tiredness in the legs particularly behind the knees. In some cases the region becomes purplish and pigmented and this is called varicose ulcers. Varicose veins are caused by the sluggish circulation of blood due to factors such as low intake of dietary fibre, constipation, wearing tight clothing, standing for too long and obesity. Pregnancy, due to increased pressure on the pelvis and abdomen, which slows down blood circulation, can cause them. The patient must be put on a juice therapy for a week, then an all fruit therapy diet for the next week. Later a restricted diet should be adopted such as: orange and lemon juices for breakfast, raw salad of vegetables with cold pressed olive oil and lemon juice as dressing for lunch, steamed vegetables like spinach, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, potatoes, raisins and figs for supper.

Eye Trouble Most eye trouble is due to insufficient circulation and nutritional deficiency in the eye muscles and the optic nerve. The optic nerve is one of the most powerful nerves in the body and uses up to 30% of available glucose (blood sugar). When blood sugar runs dry, all nerves must rely on glycogen from the liver; any interruption in glycogen supply due to liver dysfunction is often reflected in eye trouble.

Fatigue Chronic fatigue is an indication that the body’s ‘batteries’ have run down and resistance is lower, and thus serves as a warning that disease might strike at any time; it is primarily due to a critical deficiency of active enzymes in the diet and an overabundance of ‘dead’ processed, overcooked foods, in incompatible combinations; and it can also be from a very often over-looked cause and that is yeast and fungal overgrowth. Thrush is an indication of yeast activity. There are over 20 different kinds of poisons emitted by various strains of yeast, including Candida Albicans. These toxins are a major cause of fatigue and depression. It is best to avoid white sugar, alcohol, white rice and refined starches. Another overlooked cause is a deficiency of potassium and magnesium.

Leucorrhea This is more of a symptom than a disease. There is a normal physiological vaginal discharge due to excitement, nervousness and debility. There is also the abnormal discharge of mucous popularly known as the ‘whites’. If it is a milky yellowish color and yeasty smelling and causes itchiness and soreness around the vagina, then the causes can be : sexual contact with an infected man, contamination from the anus or chemical changes in the vaginal. If it is frothy, greenish white or yellow with a bad smell, and causes irritation and redness around vagina and vulva and also causes uncomfortable sex, then the cause can be: sexual contact or sharing infected towels used by a man carrying the infection.

Before puberty, if it occurs, it can be due to a foreign body inside, thread or pin worms, scratching with dirty fingernails, or wearing dirty linens. During the pre-menstrual age, the causes can be uterine fibroid, uterine cancer or ulcers in genital prolpase. During the post-menstrual period, the causes can be cancer of the genital tract, genital prolapse and endometries. These are only some of the causes and there are many more. It is good to consult a good physician before making any attempt to use drugs. The overeating of refined foods and stress can be a cause as well. It is normal to have an excess of the secretion two days before and after the menstrual cycle. It is also common in pregnant women. However, it should be thin and light white or colorless.

Menstrual Disorders By nature, apart from worries, accidents, infectious diseases, and inherited problems, the main causes of all menstrual problems are accumulation of toxins in the body after excessive dosages of medication, the intake of wrong or odd combinations of diet, loss of resistance, lack of fresh air, water, exercises and nutritious food. It has been established by medical science that irregularity in menstruation is due to lack of good dietary habits, excessive use of coffee, tea, fried foods, refined and sour things, worries, sorrow, fear, anger, anemia, swelling in the womb and displacement of the womb. This loving-kindness meditation helps one to have a balanced mind all of the time. Placing your soft attention into the painful area and opening and relaxing your mind into it before radiating that loving-acceptance there will help to really balance your mind and body at the same time. When pain arises the mind and body both have the tendency to tighten and contract, so relaxing the the muscles and the mind helps to heal the situation. Practice this for at least 30 minutes 2x’s daily and whenever the pain pulls your mind to it open and relax right then as much as possible. The symptoms before the start of menstruation are: a feeling of laziness or giddiness, loss of appetite, pain in the urinary tract, headache, tiredness, pain in the waist region, ovary or uterus or an irritable mood. It is necessary to pay proper attention towards a nutritious and cleansing diet. Short or frequent menstruation is caused by inflammation, a tipped uterus, uterine swelling, hypertension, malfunction of the kidney or constipation. If it is excessive, it can lead to anemia. Beet root is one of the best foods to be taken. Hot water bottle fomentation, message, rest, a salt free diet, a supplement of calcium, banana and currants help as

General Menstrual Problems It has been suggested that saffron is advantageous in all menstrual problems. For irregular menstruation, drinking dark grape juice first thing in the morning regularly is very helpful.

Premenstrual Syndrome The symptoms are: anxiety, depression, migraine, headache, dizziness, abdominal bloating, constipation, sugar craving, cramps, acne, joint pains and swelling. The following must be taken: - Vitamin B6: found in Brewer’s Yeast, potatoes, salmon, whole grains stone ground. - Calcium and magnesium: Found in milk, cheddar cheese, soybeans, whole grain, green vegetable (especially raw), beet tops. - Zinc: found in poultry, eggs, milk, whole grains. - Potassium found in bananas, oranges, sun dried fruits. - Vitamin E found in wheat germ, cold pressed vegetable oils, nuts, whole grains, cereals. - Tryptophan Found in wheat bran, wheat germ, cooked soy beans and raw mushrooms. - Essential Fatty Acids found in safflower, corn, soy beans, sesame oil, brazil nuts, peanuts, sunflower seeds.

Pregnancy During a woman’s pregnancy it is absolutely essential for them to practice lovingkindness meditation to there unborn baby. When they do the body problems become less intense and the woman and her baby are more healthy. After birth the baby smiles often and is a very happy baby. After about six months into the pregnancy the baby is well enough developed to think for themselves, they can see light and hear sounds, this is a scientific fact. The only problem for them is that they can’t tell their own thoughts apart from their mothers. So when the mother sends loving and kind thoughts to her unborn child, that child thinks that they are thinking them for themselves. So the more the mother spends time loving and peaceful, the more loving and peaceful the baby becomes.

146

Therapeutic Fasting

So the practice of loving-kindness meditation is especially important, and should be practiced as much as possible during the whole pregnancy - but especially during the last three months. It should be done for at least 45 minutes 3x’s daily and more if possible for the best results. During pregnancy, to accommodate the growing uterus, the abdominal muscles become stretched. After the child is born, they remain enlarged and if nothing is done to prevent it, they will sag. During pregnancy, as the fetus grows, there may be shortness of breath in the later stages and full diaphragm breathing may be difficult. In such cases lying on the side will help. Any prospective mother needs not only a knowledge of pregnancy, labor, and delivery but also adequate physical preparation concerning the delivery. Good preparation of body and mind helps you to approach birth with confidence. During pregnancy, ailments such as vomiting, constipation, backache, diarrhea and syndromes like toxemia are common. Prompt treatment to get rid of them is necessary. But it is better still to prevent oneself from getting them in the first place .

Morning Sickness This is vomiting during pregnancy. This occurs during second and third month. This is mainly due to psychological reasons and hormonal changes. This is sometimes associated with nausea. Nausea and dizziness can be cured by taking the grated rind of a lemon or lemon juice with ice. Apple juice or eating a whole apple also helps. Red raspberry tea eases labor pains and also prevents miscarriage. Loving-kindness meditation is very helpful for women with morning sickness because the feeling makes the mind and body contract which causes even more discomfort. The practice of loving-kindness meditation teaches one to recognize that feeling and to open there mind and body then accept it without aversion. Soften the muscles and mind into the sensation instead of aversion. 1] Loving-Kindness Meditation: Place your soft attention into the unpleasant feeling and relax the muscles in that area. Next open and relax the tightness and tension in your head and mind. Now radiate love and peace into that area. Practice this meditation for at least 45 minutes 3x’s daily and when the pain arises practice it until the pain subsides. 2] Apple Peels and Brown Rice: Get 30g of apple peel. Dry fry 30g of brown rice. Mix the peels with the rice and make tea to get rid of morning sickness. Take every morning upon arising. 3] Grapefruit, Olives and Salt: Steam grapefruit peel together with olives and a pinch of salt until cooked. Eat the peel once a day. 4] Grapefruit Tea: Take the peel of one grapefruit sun dry it then make into a tea. 5] Peppermint Tea: Peppermint tea settles the stomach and cools the mind. 6] Avoid: Heavy meals, all fried foods, refined starches like white sugar, white flour products, white polished rice, preserved foods.

Labor There are three stages in labor: Again the importance of loving-kindness meditation shows itself to be most helpful in all situations. It helps to overcome the worry and anxiety, as well as making the pain easier to endure. The more you can practice it before the time of labor the easier the labor will be. 1] The drawing up and widening of the uterus neck opening. At the same time the upper part of the uterus shrinks becoming thicker and harder, pressing the baby down against the lower part. During this period the mother can do nothing except keep cool and relaxed. Fear and anxiety usually based on ignorance causes rigidity in the uterus muscles thus causing exhaustion. (The glands will take over by producing extra hormones to fight the emergency). During the 1st stage while the cervix is dilating it is usually best to be upright and walking. about. 2] The passage of the baby through pelvis and birth canal. During this period, for a person who has exercised the muscles during pregnancy, the is a sense of participation and achievement. The temptation to push too hard or too fast must be curbed. The muscles round the vagina must be naturally stretched but not by force. The stretching is done by the baby’s head and with each contraction as the head is pushed against the tissues of the vaginal opening. On the way through the pelvic area the baby has to pass the jointed ring of bone. If the ring is stiff, it may be harmed. If the pelvis has been kept supple through exercises, the transit of this should be easier and quicker. During the second stage, supported squatting seems to be the most effective and comfortable during contractions. This gives the greatest increase of pressure in the pelvic with minimum muscular effort. 3] The expulsion of the placenta or after-birth. After the delivery, the reproductive organs gradually resume their correct position and size. Careful exercises help speed up the process. It is important to see that there are no clots or congestion in the uterus or veins. If there are, one suffers from post natal backache, constipation, varicose veins and bad posture. Walking during labor especially in early labor is beneficial. When experiencing intense contractions, a light finger tip massage over the lower abdomen is soothing. Make a gentle movement over the lower belly in a half circle from side to side. If labor is progressing very fast then kneeling on all fours can help one to stay in control. Very slow breathing will help. If labor is very slow, walking outdoors helps. Squatting is most likely to intensify labor. If the labor is not progressing after a long period of time, there is a possibility of some physical problem such as the presentation of the baby or the internal shape of the pelvis. You will probably feel intense feelings from agony to ecstasy, weakness to nausea. There is nothing to be afraid of. If you vomit you will have immediate relief. That will relieve you from tension. Every mother to be experiences pain at the peak of contractions. The pain is acute and insistent and does not generally last in between contractions. Often a very strong contraction is followed by milder ones. The pain is not like the pain injury. Many mothers describe it as life giving experience with pleasure between pains. During pregnancy and labor your body produces hormones called endorphins

148

Therapeutic Fasting

which are natural pain killers. Another hormone, oxytocin, serves to stimulate the contractions. Hormone secretion depends upon the emotional aspect of the individual. Tension prevents it. For this reason, the environment and trust and confidence in people are important. When you are in labor the normal practice in most of the hospitals is to place you in bed on your back in a reclining position before you are transferred to the delivery room. There is no doubt that there are great advantages in the safety network of modern obstetrics when problems occur. However, the vast majority of labors are uncomplicated and commonsense has been obscured by the routine application of interventive obstetrics to normal labor. Recent studies show that there are physiological advantages to labor in upright, crouching positions. The principles of physics apply to childbirth and these are negated when a woman gives birth in the lying down position. In a squatting position, radiographically it has been shown that the birth canal increases in area 30% more than in the lying down position. The results of modern research shows the advantages of being upright and moving about. There is greater intensity, regularity and frequency of uterine contraction, greater opening of the cervix, more relaxation between contractions, shorter time intervals between the 1st and 2nd stages of labor, greater comfort and more than anything the woman feels that she is contributing something to the labor. It is also interesting the have your doctor wait for up to 3 hours before they cut the umbilical cord away from the baby. This gives the baby time to adjust to the fact of having to breathe on its own. When the umbilical cord is cut away immediately the baby is forced to breathe and this can be a tremendous shock both psychologically and physically.

The Breast Before nursing, wipe the nipples with cotton soaked in boiled water. Boricated water is unnecessary. In fact it can even intoxicate the baby. 1] Cloves and Olive Oil: For cracked nipples grind a few cloves and make a paste in cold pressed olive oil and apply. 2] Orange Seeds: Boil orange seeds and grind them and apply or drink the juice to soften lumps in the breast. 3] Apple Cider Vinegar: Drink 2 tbsp. of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water, add a pinch of salt to relieve swelling. 4] Castor Oil Packs: Apply castor oil to a soft cotton cloth that has been folded three times, put on breast and over the thymus gland then put a piece of plastic over the pack to avoid messiness, apply a hot water bottle over the pack and leave for 1 hour. Then rub the castor oil into the skin. This promotes milk and gets rid of lumps in the breast. Apply once daily. 5] Potato Poultice: Grate a raw potato and make a poultice, apply for dissolving and drawing out tumors or cysts from the breast. Once daily until problem goes away.

Prostate Disorder A defective prostate gland can cause: low back ache; blood in the urine; frequent erections; impotence; premature ejaculation, restricted bowel movement and loss of control over urination. Zinc is a major ingredient to prevent these. It is found in Brewer’s Yeast, nuts, raw eggs, rice bran, onions, chicken, beans, peas, lentils (dal), wheat germ, and gelatin. Blend together 1 glass of milk, 2 tbsp. of wheat germ and half a cup of cooked cowpeas. Have this drink at least once a day. Pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, cold pressed corn oil, wheat germ, garlic, soybean oil, peanuts, almonds, and sesame seed to help rejuvenation of the prostate glands. Sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds are rich in zinc and also help the prostate glands. Garlic together with pumpkin seeds included in the diet cures prostate problems and even impotence. Garlic, yogurt, and sediments found at the bottom of a beehive (which is noting but pollen) bring the same youthful results. 1] Pumpkin seeds: Raw pumpkin seeds have been recognized in East and West for centuries as the very best therapeutic food for the prostate; they are very rich in unsaturated fatty acids, organic iron and pangamic acid (vitamin 15), all of which are vital. for prostate function; 2-3 oz. raw seeds daily. 2] Wheat Germ Oil: contains organic vitamin E, essential for prostate health; 2 tsp daily after breakfast and dinner. 3] Brewer’s Yeast: active brewer’s yeast contains abundant supplies of almost all B vitamins in organic form; these are very helpful in restoring prostate health; 1 packet of granular brewer’s yeast in a cup of warm water, on an empty stomach, 2x’s daily. 4] Carrot, Asparagus, Lettuce Juice: this blend detoxifies and alkalizes deficient kidneys, as well as the entire urogenital tract, which runs straight through the prostate; 8 oz./ 4 oz./ 4 oz., 1-2 pints (500 ml-1 liter) daily. 5] Lemon Juice: the juice of two lemons in 6 oz. of warm distilled water, taken at 34 hour intervals for 24-36 hours, with no intake of any food or beverage, has potent alkalizing and cleansing effects in urogenital canal, prostate and related sexual parts. 6] Red Beet Juice: an 8 oz. glass taken 2-3 tsp at a time, throughout the day, with no intake of other food, detoxifies and alkalizes the prostate via its affinity for the kidneys and urogenital tract. 7] Other Beneficial Foods: lecithin; filbert (hazel) nuts; raw sunflower seeds; grapefruit juice (in distilled water); black grapes (exclusively 1-3 days); bee pollen; soy bean sprouts; carrot juice. 8] Foods to Avoid: pasteurized milk and other dairy products; foods fried in oil; cooked meats, especially pork; refined starch and sugar; all foods with artificial additives and preservatives

Ear Problems Ear wax is secreted by sweat glands in the ear. An excess can cause noises in the ear, deafness, or earache. To remove earwax, make a long roll with paper (like a drinking straw). Place one end shallowly but firmly in the ear. Set fire at the other end and allow to burn at a safe distance from the patient. Extinguish quickly. The heat creates a vacuum which helps to dislodge as well as to draw out the wax. 1] Garlic: Ear infections can be cured by placing a clove of garlic in cotton in the ear. The vapor kills germs. 2] Onion Juice: A drop of onion juice in the ears help ringing of the ear ( 3 x’s a week) 3] Peanuts: Eating dry groundnuts with the skin helps clear partial deafness. 4] Orange Peels and Honey: Orange peels are antihistaminic: collect the peels. Cut them into small stripes. Soak them in apple cider vinegar for 4 hours. Drain off and cook the peels in honey for a few minutes. Eating that regularly helps stuffiness or clogged air passages. 5] Peppermint Juice: Peppermint juice used as ear drops helps to relieve ear ache.

CANCER / AIDS / HERPES Cancer

According to both traditional Chinese medicine as well as more enlightened studies in the West, cancer occurs when a mass of cells in various tissues become so toxic and starved of organs nourishment that they can no longer breathe properly, i.e. they can no longer eliminate wastes and absorb nutrients. Hence, they literally ‘ferment’ in their own toxic wastes, mutate, and become cancerous tumors. This condition can be caused by a number of factors: primary cause is chronic poor diet, heavy in cooked meats, eggs, and refined starches and sugars and poor in raw food, enzymes, organic nutrients. Insufficient circulation of essence and energy due to lack of exercise and shallow breathing are contributing causes. Chronic stress and depression also play a role by poisoning the bloodstream with toxic by-products of adrenaline and other ‘fight or flight’ reactions. First and foremost therapy is detoxification with a series of 7-10 day fasts with daily colonic irrigations. Therefore a diet of raw fruit and vegetables is indicated. Breathing exercises are extremely beneficial to cancer patients, in conjunction with detoxification and proper organic nutrition, because they circulate the nutrients to the cells, and suffuse all tissues with abundant supplies of chi. The practice of lovingkindness meditation is a very useful tool to use with cancer patients. If they experience strong pain this meditation will help to make it more easy to bear it without so many strong drugs which dull the mind. It also is important to practice this so ones mind can soften into the situation. Placing their attention into the dis-eased area brings more blood to that area and this relieves all kinds of problems. 1] Loving-Kindness Meditation: This is a very imrotant aspect of healing when one has cancer. The fear, worry and anxiety caused even by the mention of this dis-ease is amazing. It carries such a horrible image that anyone who contract this dis-ease thinks that their time is truly limited and they will die in a few short years or months as the case may be. This is not the case by doing the meditation and the therapies in this book cancer can be cured permanently. It is necessary to do this meditation practice everyday and to be serious about wanting to change some of the old ways of thinking and acting. Place your attention on the liver area (or wherever else there is distress) then begin to open and relax your mind. Feel the tightness and tension fade away as you open and relax. Now radiate that warm soft feeling of love into the liver area. Whenever the mind forgets and begins to think about something else then simply let go of the thinking, soften the tightness and tension caused by the thinking then radiate again. Practice this for at the very least 45 minutes 4x’s daily to start out and extend whenever possible. Do this until the cancer has dissolved away then cut down to 2x’s daily, but you must continue the practice even after the cancer has gone away. You will see the true benefits of this as time goes by.

2] Carrot Juice: this is perhaps the best vegetable juice for detoxifying tissues. It also helps alkalize the bloodstream, which in cases of toxemia is always highly acidic. Raw carrot juice delivers abundant supplies of readily assimilable vitamins, minerals, and enzymes to diseased cells, giving them the fuel they require to sluff off wastes and rebuild cells. 75-year-old Jay Kordish, who today promotes raw juice diets in America, was cured of bladder cancer at age 25 with a blend of raw carrot and apple juice, taken a glass at a time every hour 13 times a day under the supervision of the great raw juice therapist Dr. Max Gersen. Drink at least 1 1/2 quarts (1500 ml) freshly extracted raw carrot juice daily, in conjunction with breathing and other exercises, for as long as therapy is required. 3] Dark Grapes: raw grapes, especially the dark variety, are renowned as excellent cancer therapy when taken as an exclusive diet for prolonged periods. Entire sanitariums in Russia are devoted to this cure. Grapes detoxify all tissues and organs and restore organic integrity to starved cells. In 1925, South African Johanna Brandt cured herself of cancer with an exclusive grape diet and wrote a book about it called The Grape Cure. She recommends 2-4 pounds (1-2 kg) of dark grapes per day, for a week to a month or more, chewing the skins and seeds as well. 4] Cabbage Juice: Fresh raw cabbage juice has been proven to cure severe ulcers in the stomach, duodenum and intestines. As such, it is also an effective therapy for cancers of the stomach and intestinal tract. High concentration of organic chlorine and sulphur in raw cabbage cleanse the mucus membranes of the stomach and intestinal tract, where cancerous tissues often form. It is generally recommended to take cabbage juice in combination with raw carrot juice, due to its strength. 4 oz./ 8 oz carrot juice 3x’s daily. Or you can take 1/2 cup (4 oz.) of cultured cabbage juice which is the best thing for all kinds of intestinal and stomach problems (for more on the benefits and how to make turn to next chapter). 5] Raw Beet Juice: beet juice is highly beneficial as a liver detoxifier and blood cleanser. In cases of cancer, therefore, it purifies the bloodstream so that the blood can do its work of detoxifying the body and delivering nutrients to starved cells. By detoxifying the liver, it further promotes clean blood, which is filtered by the liver. Also indicated in cases of liver cancer. 8 oz. of pure beet juice, 2x’s daily, 6 oz. beet/ 6 oz. carrot, 3x’s daily. Tablets and dry crystals of pure beet juice extract are also very good. 6] Castor Oil Pack: This is where the castor oil pack really shines. Place the pack over the troubled area for one hr. and it will dissolve away the tumor(s). But don’t forget to alternate with placing over the liver and intestines so the body can expel the toxins too. Of course there is no such a thing as a cure all, but when used in conjunction with other therapies (especially the ones mentioned in the book) it works wonders. Fasting along with the castor oil pack has proven itself to be very effective over time. This remedy has worked well for many hundreds of years (for more information turn to next chapter). 7] Ozone Therapy: This therapy has been proving itself as being a very effective cure for cancer (as long as the patient doesn’t wait too long). Taking intravenous shots of ozone from a competent doctor will be very beneficial.

153

Therapeutic Fasting

After taking a hot bath or steam sauna soak the entire body in a sauna bag filled with ozone for 30 minutes daily. This helps to detoxify the body and puts much needed oxygen into the system. The real cause of cancer is the lack of good nutrition and oxygen in the system. So when the patient starts putting good food into the body and taking shots of ozone, many wonderful things can occur. Soaking the feet in cool ozonated water for 30-45 minutes daily is good; using ozonated essential oils for light massage and drinking ozonated water is very good. (For more information and benefits turn to next chapter). 8] Foods to Avoid: all animal products, especially proteins and fats, i.e. no cooked meat, fat, eggs, fried foods; milk, etc.; all white sugar; refined starches; polished white rice; carbohydrates; oils; eat only fresh raw fruit and vegetables, juices and extracts. And fast as often as your competent doctor says.

AIDS AIDS is a disease of the immune system which has only recently been recognized. Therefore, no specific cures have been proven to be effective. The raw juice therapy recommended below is not claimed as a cure but rather as a highly effective adjunct to whatever other therapies are being used. Since AIDS directly attacks the immune system, it is a logical approach to tonify the immune system as a basic part of therapy. Tonifying the immune system involves a two-pronged approach: removing morbid wastes from the system which suppresses immunity and resistance; ingesting organic nutrients which repair and strengthen the immune system. Fasting is by far the most efficient method of removing morbid wastes from the body, and raw fruit and vegetable juices are by far the most potent sources of the organic nutrients required to repair the body. The oxygen therapy has been recently proven to be the best cure for this terrible disease. When practcied in conjunction with loving-kindness meditation this seems to cure what is presently thought to be a incureable disease. The importance of this meditation can’t really be overlooked. The mental development is most important for true healing to take place. 1] Loving-Kindness Meditation: Place your soft attention on the liver area. Begin to open and relax your mind, letting go of tightness and tension in your mind and loosening the muscles in the liver area. Relax then radiate a warm glowing feeling of love and peace into that area. If your mind begins to think about other things, then simply let those thoughts go, let go of the tightness caused by those thoughts and radiate that love again. You must practice this meditataion seriously (that means without a break in the practice). Do this for 45 minutes 4x’s daily until the AIDS has gone away. If there is any painful feelings in the body you can place your attention into that and soften and radiate there, too. 2] Carrot Juice: as the best overall vegetable juice for detoxifying the system and repairing damaged tissues, carrot juice is an excellent supplement to the diet of AIDS victims. It has specific affinity for the adrenal glands, which by virtue of their hormone secretions, bolster the entire immune system and help regulate the whole endocrine system.

It detoxifies the liver, which is responsible for filtering and nourishing the blood. It is the blood which carries immune factors to the various tissues of the body. At least 1 1/2 quarts (1500 ml) of freshly extracted carrot juice per day is recommended. 3] Beet Juice: beet juice has strongly detoxifying properties, especially in the liver, bloodstream and kidneys, owing to its organic chlorine content. It is rich in potassium, which balances metabolism. Its organic iron content help build ‘strong blood’ by enriching the red corpuscles, which by virtue of their hemoglobin carry oxygen to the tissue. Take 8 oz 2x’s daily, preferably on an empty stomach, or mix 8 oz. with 8 oz. carrot juice and take 2x’s daily. 4] Dark Grapes: raw dark grapes are such an effective remedy for so many serious ailments when taken as an exclusive diet for up to one month that this therapy is well worth trying in cases of AIDS. ‘Incurable’ cancers have in many cases been completely cured with this therapy, when properly administered. Since AIDS is also regarded by conventional medical practice as ‘incurable’, raw grape therapy may be helpful, although no studies have yet confirmed this. Therapy indicates 2-4 pounds (12 kg) of grapes daily, for up to one month at a time. 5] Garlic: fresh raw garlic, in bulk or juice, is one of the most effective natural antibiotics on earth. It has been shown to kill many germs which are resistant to penicillin. It also eliminates intestinal parasites. Among the many symptoms of AIDS are a wide range off infections caused by the body’s lack of normal immune factors. Daily doses of raw garlic or garlic juice help protect the body from all sorts of germs and parasites to which AIDS victims are vulnerable. This prevents the onset of severe infections during other forms of therapy against the AIDS virus itself. Note that the garlic must be fresh and raw. Odorless refined substitutes do not contain the active enzymes responsible for its therapeutic benefits. 6-12 cloves of fresh raw garlic daily, either crushed or stuffed into gelatin capsules for ingestion, or extracted juice. It’s best to take it in two doses to ensure steady absorption throughout the day. 6] Colloidal Silver: This has been found to be very helpful in combating the many different types of disease which make up what is commonly called AIDS. Taking 1 tsp in the morning and 1 in the evening before going to bed is good. 7] Castor Oil Packs: Using castor oil packs on the thymus gland helps to balance the whole immune system. Fold a cotton cloth three times (the size after folding is roughly 8” x 12”) soak the cloth with castor oil, then apply to the heart area one time and the lower right quadrant over the liver, gall bladder, intestines and appendix the next time. After putting on the castor oil filled cloth, place a piece of plastic bag covering the whole cloth to relieve the messiness. Next place a heating pad or hot water bottle over the cloth area, leave for 1 hour then take the cloth off and place on a tray for next time (with every other use of the cloth just add a few spoonfuls of castor oil to replenish what was absorbed previously). Now gently massage the oil into the skin. Do this once or 2 x’s daily for best results. Women with painful menstruation can place this over the womb and get relief. Also the castor oil removes tumors and cysts.

8] Ozone Therapy: This has proven to be the most effective way to cure this terrible disease. In America there have been many cases of complete remission of aides after using ozone therapy intravenously, everyday. This is how the patients system becomes flooded with ozone and within a few short weeks there is no more problem. Again this is going along with other therapies like fasting, food therapies and castor oil packs. After taking a hot bath or steam sauna, soak the entire body in a sauna bag filled with ozone for 30-45 minutes once a day (it can be done 2 x’s but check with the doctor first); using ozonated drinking water works well over time; ozonated essential oils along with massage is very good; soaking the feet in ozonated water helps circulation. 9] Foods to Avoid: eliminate all cooked meat and eggs and all pasteurized milk and milk products, in order to avoid protein putrefaction in the system, which damages the immune system; all white sugars; refined starches; polished white rice; sweets; hot spicy foods; chocolate; ice cream; alcohol; nicotine; Hydrogenated fats like vegetable margarine’s; deep-fried foods; artificial preservative and additives. Eat raw vegetables and fresh fruits and juices as much as possible.

Herpes Herpes is a sexually transmitted disease which attacks the nervous system and in its active stages manifests itself as festering skin eruptions and lesions, usually on and around the genitals and mouth areas. It is contagious only in its active stages but relatively harmless when dormant. Its connection with the nervous system is why it tends to become active and erupt into lesions when the victim becomes ‘nervous’ due to stress. Several drugs have been developed to suppress herpes but so far there is no permanent cure. The juice therapy recommended below is helpful in suppressing active symptoms and helping the body to fight the infection, but it is not claimed as a cure. The ozone therapy has proven very effective in arresting all the symptoms of herpes. Loving-kindness meditation is most helpful when these skin eruption and lesions manifest. Learning how to soften the mind and radiate love into something which causes you pain is the lesson of true loving-kindness. 1] Loving-Kindness Meditation: Place your soft attention on the troublesome area. Open and relax the mind feeling the tightness and tension in it dissolve away. Now radiate that warm loving feeling of peace and happiness into that area. When your mind wanders away or begins to feel tight again, then simply open up and relax again before radiating that feeling once more. Do this for at least 30 minutes 3x’s daily until the problem goes away. 2] Carrot Juice: as an overall detoxofier and source of organic nutrients, fresh carrot juice is a good dietary supplement for victims of herpes. By cleansing the body of morbid matter, carrot juice reduces the severity of skin eruptions when the disease becomes active. Take at least 1 1/2 quarts (1500 ml) daily, preferably in 2 or 3 doses, on an empty stomach.

3] Pecans: rich in pyridoxine, pecans rank among the best therapeutic foods for the nervous system. Daily intake of raw pecans helps balance the nervous system functions and hence reduces the symptoms of nervous stress, which is a prime cause in activating herpes symptoms. One or two handfuls of raw pecans, eaten throughout the day, is recommended 4] Wheat Germ Oil: rich in vitamin E, wheat germ oil is almost always beneficial to patients with nervous ailments. It also contains inositol, which improves the body’s fat metabolism and thereby takes some excretory burden off the skin. When lesions occur, wheat germ oil may be rubbed onto them externally to promote rapid healing. 1 tbsp. morning and night. 5] Apple Cider Vinegar: rich in organic potassium, apple cider vinegar enhances metabolic efficiency, which in turn calms the entire system, thereby preventing dormant herpes from becoming active. When sores and lesions do occur, apple cider vinegar may be rubbed directly onto the skin to disinfect them and promote rapid healing. This should be done in conjunction with internal dosage as well. 2-3 tsp apple cider vinegar in an 8 oz. glass of distilled water, 2-3 x’s daily. 6] Vitamin E oil, Vitamin B-complex, Vitamin E: Shingles can be cleared up by applying vitamin E oil (by taking a pin and puncturing a Vit E pill then using the contents on the problem), applying liberally and by taking Vit B-complex (50 mg ounce daily) and vitamin E (400 mg 2 x’s daily). 7] Goldenseal Powder: Use the herb Goldenseal Powder: dissolve 1/4 tsp in water and apply to the affected area several x’s a day for 2 weeks. In addition take a capsule of Goldenseal with hot water before meals. (Caution: only a small quantity of the herb is to be taken, 1 tsp if in powder form a day). 8] Hydrogen Peroxide: Take 3% hydrogen peroxide and wash the affected area 3 x’s daily. 9] Raw Garlic Implants: Take a raw garlic clove that is peeled and make some cuts in it then dip in olive oil and insert the clove into the colon just before going to bed. This has proven to be very helpful in killing the herpes virus. Do this every night for 3 weeks for relief. 10] Colloidal Silver: Taking this will help to get rid of the herpes virus found in the blood stream. Take 1 tsp 2 x’s daily without a break for 1 month then get a blood test. 11] Castor Oil Packs: Place over the liver and intestines or 1 hr. daily for 6 days, rest 1 day, repeat for 3 months. 12] Ozone Therapy: This has been found to be 100% effective in overcoming this disease. Taken intravenously has proven to be very helpful and in some cases the herpes went away. Make sure to use a competent doctor who can monitor the progress. When taken daily the ozone shots can help very much. Do this for 2 weeks.

The Best Utensil and Energy to Use For Health

There has been some experimenting done lately with what kind of utensils and pots and pans to use for the healthiest results. A scientist took an aluminum pan, a stainless steel pan, a ceramic pan, a glass pan and a clay pan. They also used a microwave oven, an electric stove, a gas stove, an open fire and a charcoal fire. The findings were quite interesting. First they took the aluminum pan and filled it with water and put it on the electric stove and brought the water to a boil. After the water was cool they took that water, from the aluminum pan, and put it on some seeds and some newly sprouted plants. The results were that none of the seeds sprouted and the newly sprouted seedlings died from the water. The conclusion is the aluminum pan when heated over an electric heat was poisonous to the plants and kills them. They used the stainless steel pan over the electric stove and the other types of heating. again they put the water on seeds and seedlings. With the electric stove water the seeds didn’t begin to grow, and the seedlings were stunted in growth. Next, they tried a ceramic pan in the microwave oven and put then on the seeds and seedlings. The results were the seeds rotted and the seedlings died. Then they put the ceramic pan with water on the electric stove and watered the seeds and seedlings. The results were very few seeds germinated (that is 3 out of 50 seeds) and the seedlings continued to grow but very slowly. When they used the gas stove a few more seeds began to germinate (5 out of 50 seeds) and the seedlings grew a little better. The best was the charcoal fire for heating the water. more seeds germinated ( 9 out of 50 seeds) and the seedlings grew at a little slower than the normal rate. The glass pot over the charcoal fire was about equal to the clay pot over the charcoal fire. They both had seeds germinate (21 out of 50 seeds) and the seedlings grew well. Now what does all of this mean? Just this, cooking with aluminum over any kind of heat was poisonous, storing food in aluminum pans is poisonous to the body. Think of how most people cook their daily rice and what is that doing to their bodies over a period of time. Many people wonder why these days there is so much disease that causes death, this may be one of the causes. Also using a microwave oven for any cooking of food takes the food value right out of the food. So eating cardboard is more nutritious than eating food cooked in a microwave oven. The best way to cook is over a charcoal fire and to use glass or clay pots. This has been proven the best for health. But ultimately it all comes down to you and what you choose to do!

12. FOOD THERAPY The Perfect Diet The perfect diet is very simple and consists of cereals, soybean milk, fruits, juices, sprouts, salad and vegetable juice. yogurt, honey, nuts, dates, and vegetables lightly steamed (for more than 3 minutes) in a minimum of water. Fruit juices must be made fresh. Salads should be mixed together with a little sesame oil, sunflower oil or best of all cold pressed olive oil together with lemon juice. Vegetable juice can be taken by mixing with yogurt, cumin, coriander or mint and add a little vegetable salt (it can now be found in heath food stores). Nuts as well as all foods should be chewed very well before swallowing. A good rule of thumb when eating is to chew until all the food has turned to liquid before swallowing. Vegetable broth, which is healthy and wholesome, is very good for keeping healthy. Overnight, soak equal quantities of mung beans, yellow and green lintels, barley and any other grains or beans. Boil all together in water until they are soft. Add any vegetables including beet, carrot, potatoes, turnip, celery, tomatoes, beans or peas to name a few. Cook them on a low fire with as little water as possible. Add vegetable salt to taste. This broth can be eaten cold or hot.

Diet For Children For children, care should be taken not to give an excess of foods containing salicylates, as these tend to develop hyperactivity. They also reduce the vitamin A and B complex and the minerals calcium, potassium, and iron in the child’s brain. Salicylates containing foods are: apricot, blackberries, cherries, grapes, oranges, peaches, plums, raspberries, cucumber and tomatoes. This does not mean that the foods mentioned above should be avoided. They are actually very helpful as long as they are taken in moderation and balanced with either counteracting foods or supplements. Foods with additives are not good for the brain and can cause a slow deterioration of its effectiveness. Cerebral allergens can have a similar effect by diminishing the brain’s supply of vitamins and minerals. Common allergens are bread, corn, lentils, peas, and potatoes. The supplements needed to overcome this problem are: vitamins B6 and C and the minerals calcium, zinc, iron, magnesium, phorphous and to some extent selenium and chromium. Avoid a high carbohydrate diet as it causes an iron deficiency. This ca result in learning disability, memory loss, and a lack of motivation. An excessively high fibre diet should also be avoided as it blocks absorption of vital minerals and vitamins required for the brain. Again all of the foods mentioned above are not to necessarily be avoided but not taken in excess. And learn how to use other foods to offset any imbalances in the child’s body.

During a raw juice therapy, the capacity of the various organs of the body to eliminate increases. Thus there is a greater chance of eliminating toxins. Most ill health conditions are due to over acidity but in drinking the alkali-forming juices of fruits and vegetables, the body can naturally achieve an acid-alkali balance. This will increase the healing effect by eliminating uric acid and other inorganic acids while at the same time the sugars of the fruits and vegetables provide strength. Raw fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals and trace elements required for the metabolism. Some of the raw fruits and vegetables contain natural medicines, vegetable hormones and antibiotics. For example, string beans and cucumber contain insulin like substances - while radish, garlic, onion and tomatoes contain antibiotics. Specific juices are beneficial in specific conditions.

Precautions All juices must be freshly made immediately before drinking. Preferably, organically grown fruit and vegetables should be used and not canned or frozen juices. If the juices are too sweet, they should be diluted in a 1:1 ratio with distilled water. Owing to their differing actions, fruit and vegetables should not be used at the same time, or mixed.

If they are to be mixed the following broad rule is to be applied: juices from sweet fruits (prune, grape) may be combined with the juices of sub-acid fruits (apple, plum, pear, peach, apricot and cherry). They cannot be mixed with acid fruits (orange, lemon, grapefruit, strawberry and pineapple). Juices from sub-acid fruits can be combined with fruits of acid fruits. Juices of vegetable fruits (tomato, cucumber) can be combined with acid fruits or with the green leafy vegetable juices (cabbage, celery, lettuce, spinach, parsley and water cress). Juices from green leafy vegetables juices can be combined with vegetable fruits of the root vegetables (beet, carrot, onion, potato, and radish). However it is better to use juices individually. If the juice is not palatable, honey or may be added. When used as a medicine to heal some physical disorder, the juices must be taken once every two or three hours. The quantity of juice taken on each occasion should be from 250 ml to 500 ml (1 pint). To start with 250 ml should be given and gradually increased up to the maximum of 500 ml (or 1 pint in many cases the quantity to be taken is stated). The juice therapy can be continued for up to 30 (thirty) days at one stretch. The patient should be careful to take plenty of water and rest during the therapy. In the beginning there will be some discomfort in the abdomen, diarrhea, loss of weight, headache, fever, sleepiness, body odor and bad breath.

Most of the skins of fruits and vegetables can be used.

The Practice of Loving-Kindness Meditation This type of meditation is an essential part of healing the mind and body. It teaches one how to lovingly-accept their present situation and soften their mind so healing can occur. Many times people think that loving-kindness is some kind of gooey emotion that tries to make everything perfect and nice all of the time. But, actually it is a practical and useful tool in opening and accepting whatever is happening with the mind/body process in the present moment. If you are sick or have a painful disease, the natural response to it is to mentally tighten and resist those painful feelings when they become apparent. This actually causes your mind and body to contract (the muscle reflect what is happening in one’s mind) and you have thoughts of dislike and dissatisfaction to those painful sensations, this makes the pain bigger and more intense. Loving-kindness when practiced properly will help you to realize that you are causing yourself even more pain than necessary. Then, after recognizing this, can simply stop the fighting and resistance then soften your mind into that sensation. This sounds difficult to do but in reality you ultimately have the choice of which way you handle these unpleasant sensations and painful feelings.

You can either hate them and fight them which causes you to suffer even more or you can open your mind and lovingly accept those sensations which lessens the discomfort and sends loving healing energy into the entire mind/ body process. The choice is yours to make! There are actually many types of loving-kindness meditation that one can do. This book will explain how to do two different kinds. One kind is for directly healing specific types of dis-eased conditions in the mind and body. The other type will be for more general use in helping one to develop a soft mind all of the time, i.e. healing the entire mental process for personality development. The first type has to do with placing your soft attention into different parts of your body and relaxing the muscles as well as mind before sending love and peace to that area. The advantage of doing this is so you will become very familiar with your own body in a very different and in many ways more closely attuned than ever before. The second loving-kindness meditation will teach you how to keep a soft mind all of the time. This technique will show you how to smile into things so your mind will experience different levels of true happiness and peace within yourself.

Loving-Kindness Meditation - The Body Sweep This ‘Sweeping Loving-kindness’ helps one to be able to direct their mind to a particular area in their body easily. It is a type of mental development that not only helps to heal mental problems and emotions, but when you direct your soft, loving attention to different areas of distress or discomfort the body responds by sending more blood to that area. So this meditation helps to improve the circulation and thus beginning the healing process more quickly than just taking external cures. For the best results the combination of natural healing cures and meditation works the best. Begin by sitting in a comfortable position either in a chair, on a stool, or sitting cross-legged on the floor. Whatever is most suitable for you. So many times when someone teaches others meditation they insist that everyone must sit cross-legged on the floor as if the real work of meditation can only be done there. When someone who is used to sitting on a chair for their whole life, sitting on the floor in a contorted position can be a very trying experience. There is no magic to sitting on the floor, the magic comes from calming your mind and sending love into your body. It is necessary that you sit for at least 15 minutes without moving your body at all or without leaning against a back rest. So adding the pain of sitting on the floor is just not necessary. Please remember that once you start meditating you must remain very still, no moving the fingers or toes, hands or feet. Sitting like a statue is the best. Try to sit with your back reasonably straight, not rigid, but nicely straight. The only movement that is allowable is the straightening of the back if it slumps a bit. The true essence of this practice is sending love into areas where previously you sent aversion, dislike, and even hate. These negative emotions and feeling manifest themselves in your mind as tightness in the mind, and tension in the body (your head is included in this). What the task of the meditator is, is to soft let go of these tightnesses and tensions. To open up their mind and body so they can become peaceful and calm. Next, when anyone is happy they have a gentle warm feeling in their heart area. This loving feeling can be activated by smiling into your heart area. This causes the feeling to radiate out, it is a very nice pleasant feeling of calmness and love. Now they direct this warm glowing smile into the different parts of the body where they have directed their attention. Along with this they make a mental statement like - ‘Lovingkindness is entering every cells in my body and healing it’..... ‘loving-kindness is surrounding and healing my whole body right now’..... ‘Love and peace are healing me right now’..... ‘Love is the opening door to perfect health in mind and body’ etc. You can make up your own statement as long as it is positive and helps the feeling of love to grow stronger. Now radiate that feeling and statement into the area where you have directed your attention. Feel that area become soft, relaxed and peaceful. If there are any thoughts which take you away from this simply let them go, treat them like bubbles floating in the wind. They can go whichever way the wind takes the bubbles. It really doesn’t matter, your job is to let those thoughts go by themselves and you open up then relax before coming back to radiating love and making gentle wishes into the area of your attention.

Always letting go of tightness and tension..... continually opening up and accepting the love which you are generating to yourself. This is your job! It doesn’t matter how many times your mind wanders away. As a matter of fact, everytime your mind wanders away then you softly let go of those thoughts and emotions, then redirect your soft attention back to radiating love to yourself and making positive wishes to yourself. This is actually helping you, if your mind wanders often and you let go then come back it helps you to develop more calmness and peace. The letting go of distractions with a soft mind is learning how to lovingaccept those distractions. This is whtat the meditation is all about. Opening..... relaxing..... letting go of tightness and tensions..... and radiating love into areas of concern. Loving the pain and discomfort, instead of hating it - this is where the true healing is! This practice helps one to develop patience and a light accepting mind that has more true happiness arising in it than ever before. Now feel inside your head, notice that there is some tightness there and begin to relax, let go of the tightness and tension in your head. Feel your mind open up and become relaxed. Softly place your attention on the very top of your head. Relax all the muscles there. Feel the scalp become soft and relaxed. Again feel your mind to see if there are any tightnesses or tensions there, if there are open up and let them go. Let your mind become soft and relaxed. Now begin to have that loving, calm feeling radiate from your heart into the top of your head. Feel the mind and body become peaceful while you radiate that love.

13. GOOD AND BAD HEALTH PROFILES Good Health Profile 1] Normal body temperature of 98.6 degrees F. or slightly elevated (i.e. 99 F.). This is an overall indicator that the body and the immune system are functioning normally. 2] Saliva pH is near 6.4 (6.2 to 6.6) before eating. This indicates the pH oft the blood is neither too acid nor too alkaline and the body has the ability to absorb nutrients from food. 3] First urine of the day has a pH reading of 5.5 to 5.8. This indicates the adrenal glands are functioning properly. 4] The patient has a good appetite and eats when hungry. This indicates that there is a low level of toxicity and that the pancreas and liver are functioning reasonably well. 5] High energy levels of activity. This indicates a low level of toxicity and normal liver, adrenal, pituitary and thyroid functioning. 6] Stools float most of the time. This indicates the presence of friendly flora in the colon. 7] Stools are large in diameter. This indicates no inflammation in the intestinal tract. 8] Urine is usually yellow in color. This indicates that there are friendly flora producing vitamin B and gamma interferon in the colon Note: if the patient is taking vitamin B supplements the urine will be yellow. So have the patient stop taking the vitamin B for 2 or 3 days and see what is happening in the colon. 9] Weight is normal not gaining or losing. This indicates that the digestion and assimilation is working properly. 10] The patient sleeps well at night. This indicates that there is adequate calcium levels in the blood. 11] Stress level is low. 12] The skin is smooth and healthy with few if any eruptions. This indicates a healthy intestinal tract. 13] Cuts and wounds heal rapidly. This indicates that there is adequate potassium and magnesium in the body. 14] The patient leads an active life with adequate physical exercise. This indicates that their body is detoxified.

Bad Health Profile 1] Low body temperature (from 1/2 degree to several degrees or more below 98.6 F.) This indicates that the immune system has become inactive. This is also related to low hormone levels in the body. It can partially be corrected by taking Sarsaparilla and Ginseng capsules - 1 of each 3 x’s daily. Low Body Temperature is also related to digestive disorders - stomach heat is too low to stimulate digestive enzymes. People with low body heat may have difficulty in digesting cooked meats (so it is best to stay away from meats of all kinds and eat cooked vegetables that are easy to digest). They are prone to have Thrush, skin disorders and other chronic infections. 2] Salvia pH is either 6.0 or lower before eating or 6.8 or higher before eating. An acid saliva pH is related to fast movement of food through the digestive tract and inadequate absorption of nutrients and a toxic blood condition - too high in CO2 and other waste products. For low saliva pH, drink the lemon/olive oil/garlic/cayenne pepper drink 2 x’s daily. 3] The 1st urine of the morning pH reading is alkaline, usually 6.2 or higher. This pH profile is associated with insomnia, stress as well as kidney and adrenal deficits. Suggestion: Take 1 or 2 hydrochloric acid tablets with your last meal of the day plus drink the Lemon/Olive Oil/ Garlic/ Cayenne Pepper drink. Drink ginseng tea with your meals and drink a cup of Marjoram and Thyme tea before bedtime (mix 1/2 tsp of each together and steep for 5 minutes). 4] Poor appetite the person eats because it is time to eat, not because he is hungry. This indicates a toxic liver, toxins, side effects of some drugs and impurities in the colon and/or blood, low levels of digestive enzymes and dry mouth syndrome (lack of saliva). Suggestions: Add lemon juice to all food and make a cup of tea with ginseng root to sip on with or after meals. 5] Fatigue - caused by acid blood, toxins, side effects of some drugs, lack of deep restful sleep, faulty digestion and assimilation of nutrients. Use Lemon/Olive Oil/Garlic/Cayenne Pepper drink 2 x’s daily and raw vegetable juices especially carrot juice and cultured cabbage juice. 6] Stools sink more often than they float - caused by toxins and pathogens in the colon that kill off friendly intestinal flora. Friendly flora produces lipids that cause stools to float. The patient needs cultured cabbage juice 3 x’s daily, a one week fast and colon cleansing program, lemon juice, carrot juice, more raw vegetables in the diet. 7] Stools small in diameter - this is caused by inflammation in the colon. Taking whole Aloe Vera Juice and cultured cabbage juice is good to correct this problem. 8] Urine that is clear. This is caused by a lack of vitamin B normally produced by friendly flora in the colon. Vitamin B causes the urine to turn yellow. No yellow color means an absence of good bacteria in the colon.

Supplements: beta carotene with meals, plain yogurt eaten with meals, cultured cabbage juice taken 3 x’s daily, and foods like squash, pumpkin, carrots, garlic, and parsley help very much with this problem. 9] Weight loss - this is a malabsorption problem with multiple causes - gluten intolerance (avoid wheat, and polished white rice); or food allergies or parasites in the colon. Taking Hydrazine Sulfate helps reverse the wasting syndrome. 10] Difficulty getting a good night’s sleep (lack of calcium in the blood). Helpful supplements: Calcium lactate before bedtime. Take 5 capsules or 1 tsp of calcium lactate powder in water. Drink Marjoram and Thyme tea before bed 11] Stress level is high (many causes - job, worry about health, money etc., love) 12] Lots of skin problems - dry flaky skin, very itchy skin, psoriasis, red pimples and open sores. 13] Cuts and wounds heal slowly or not at all. This indicates a sluggish liver and malabsorption of amino acids and key minerals like potassium, magnesium and calcium) Take Magnesium Oxide tablets - 250mg 3 x’s daily with meals. Eat lots of fruit and raw vegetables and whole grains (stay away from white sugar, white flour products and white polished rice products). Drink the Lemon/Olive Oil/Garlic juice daily. 14] The patient leads a sedentary life (a couch potato). This indicates toxins in the blood and leads to liver problems and digestive problems.

ESSENTIAL MINERALS FOR HEALTH

Minerals and vitamins have a vital role in keeping the body fit and healthy. Minerals, though they are required in very minute quantities, may affect the proper functioning of vital organs if there is a deficiency. They also serve to build enzymes and maintain the viscosity of the blood. The presence of minerals in the body helps to neutralize acids and stops food from rotting in the stomach. Calcium is the most important mineral and others required are phosphorous, sodium, sulphr, iron, copper, zinc, iodine, magnesium, chlorine, fluorine, silica and minute quantities of bromine, lithium and cadmium. These minerals are mostly found in raw vegetables and nuts. The raw fruits and vegetables should be eaten with the skin on as much as possible as the skin contains the maximum amounts of minerals. Vegetables should not be cut fine. The greater the surface area exposed, the greater will be oxidation and the greater the loss of minerals. Other sources of minerals are whole wheat flour, unpolished rice, sprouted grains and beans, green peas, mung beans, ground nuts, buttermilk, wheat and coconut. Brewer’s Yeast: This is rich in zinc and vitamin B2. Used for controlling blood sugar. Regularly taking of it helps in combating arthritis, migraine headaches, and rheumatism. Calcium: This is important for maintaining strong bones and teeth, a regular heartbeat, it alleviates insomnia, helps to metabolize the body’s iron. A deficiency causes bone and teeth degeneration, muscular pains and cramps, weakness, circulation and vascular disorders, and stomach problems. An excess (
