But to do that, C is going to have to be administered atthe maximum dose the body can process. This is easily discoverable by a ‘boweltolerance test’ which basically means you keep taking two or three grams of Ceach hour, (preferably in the powdered, most rapidly assimilable form) until youget a runny stool (the trots). The loose stool happens when there is so much C
entering the small intestine that it is not all absorbed, but is instead, passed through
to the large intestine. At that point cut back just enough that the stool is only alittle loose, not runny. At this dose, your blood stream will be as saturated byvitamin C as you can achieve by oral ingestion. It can make an important difference which type of vitamin C is taken because
many people are unable to tolerate the acid form of C beyond 8 or 10 grams aday, but they can achieve a therapeutic dose without discomfort with the alkaline(buffered) vitamin C products such as calcium ascorbate, sodium ascorbate, ormagnesium-potassium ascorbates. Vitamin C also speeds up the healing of internal tissues and damaged
connective tissue. Damaged internal tissues might include stomach ulcers (use thealkaline form of vitamin C only), bladder and kidney infections (acid form usuallybest), arthritic disorders with damage to joints and connective tissue (alkalineform usually best). Sports injuries heal up a lot faster with a therapeutic dose ofvitamin C. As medicine, vitamin C should be taken at the rate of one or twograms every two hours (depending on the severity of the condition), spaced out toavoid unnecessary losses in the urine which happens if it were taken ten grams ata time. If you regularly use the acid form of vitamin C powder, which is thecheapest, be sure to use a straw and dissolve it in water or juice so that the aciddoes not dissolve the enamel on your teeth over time. And this is as good a point as any to mention that just like broccoli is not
broccoli, a vitamin is not necessarily a vitamin. Vitamins are made by chemicaland pharmaceutical companies. To make this confusion even more interesting, thebusiness names that appear on vitamin bottles are not the real manufacturers.Bronson’s Pharmaceuticals is a distributor and marketer, not a manufacturer. Thesame is true of every vitamin company I know of. These companies buy bulkproduct by the barrel or sack; then encapsulate, blend and roll pills, bottle andlabel, advertise and make profit. The point of all this is that some actual vitamin
manufacturers produce very high quality products and others shortcut. Vitamin
distributors must make ethical (or unethical) choices about their suppliers. It is beyond the scope of this book to be a manual for going into the vitamin
business. However, there are big differences in how effective vitamins with thesame chemical name are and the differences hinge on who actually brewed themup. For example, there are at least two quality levels of vitamin C on the market
right now. The pharmaceutical grade is made by Roche or BASF. Another form,it could be called “the bargain barrel brew,” is made in China. Top quality vitaminC is quite a bit more costly; as I write this, the price differential is about 40percent between the cheap stuff and the best. This can make a big difference inbottle price and profit. Most of the discount retail vitamin companies use theChinese product. There’s more than a price difference. The vitamin C from China contains
measurable levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, iron and other toxic metals. TheFDA allows this slightly contaminated product to be sold in the US because theRecommended Daily Allowance for vitamin C is a mere 60 milligrams per day.Taken at that level, the toxic metals would, as the FDA sees it, do no harm.However, many users of vitamin C take 100 to 200 times the RDA. The cheapform of C would expose them to potentially toxic levels of heavy metal poisons.The highly refined top-quality product removes impurities to a virtuallyundetectable level. I buy my C from Bronson who ethically gives me the quality stuff. I know for a
fact that the vitamin C sold by Prolongevity is also top quality. I’ve had clientswho bought cheaper C than Bronson’s and discovered it was not quite likeBronson’s in appearance or taste. More importantly, it did not seem to have thesame therapeutic effect. The distributors I’ve mentioned so far, Bronson, NOW, Cooper, Prolongevity
and Vitamin Research Products are all knowledgeable about differences between
actual manufacturers and are ethical, buying and reselling only high quality
products. Other distributors I believe to be reputable include Twin Labs, Schiffand Plus. I know there are many other distributors with high ethic levels but I cannot evaluate all their product lines. And as I’ve mentioned earlier, businessescome and go rather quickly, but I hope my book will be read for decades. I doknow that I would be very reluctant to buy my vitamins at a discount departmentstore or supermarket; when experimenting with new suppliers I have at timesbeen severely disappointed. Co-enzyme Q-
10. This substance is normally manufactured in the human body
and is also found in minuscule amounts in almost every cell on Earth. For thatreason it is also called “ubiquinone.” But this vitamin has been only recentlydiscovered, so as I write this book Co-enzyme Q-
10 is not widely known. Q-10 is essential to the functioning of the mitochondria, that part of the cell that
produces energy. With less Q- 10 in heart cells, for example, the heart has less
energy and pumps less. The same is true of the immune system cells, the livercells, every cell. As we age the body is able to make less and less Q-
10,
contributing to the loss of energy frequently experienced with age, as well as thediminished effectiveness of the immune system, and a shortened life span. Q-
10 was first used for its ability to revitalize heart cells. It was a prescription
medicine in Japan. But unlike other drugs used to stimulate the heart, at anyreasonable dose Q-
10 has no harmful side effects. It also tends to give people the
extra pick up they are trying to get out of a cup of coffee. But Q- 10 does so by
improving the function of every cell in the body, not by whipping exhaustedadrenals like caffeine does. Q-
10 is becoming very popular with athletes who
measure their overall cellular output against known standards. Besides acting as a general tonic, when fed to lab animals, Co-Enzyme Q- 10
makes them live 33 to 45 percent longer! DMAE  is another extremely valuable vitamin-like substance that is not widely
known. It is a basic building material that the body uses to make acetylcholine, the
most generalized neurotransmitter in the body. Small quantities of DMAE are
found in fish, but the body usually makes it in a multi-stage synthesis that startswith the amino acid choline, arrives at DMAE at about step number three andends up finally with acetylcholine. The body’s nerves are wrapped in fatty tissue that should be saturated with
acetylcholine. Every time a nerve impulse is transmitted from one nerve cell to thenext, a molecule of acetylcholine is consumed. Thus acetylcholine has to beconstantly replaced. As the body ages, levels of acetylcholine surrounding thenerves drop and in consequence, the nerves begin to deteriorate. DMAE israpidly and easily converted into acetylcholine and helps maintain acetylcholinelevels in older people at a youthful level. When laboratory rats are fed DMAE they solve mazes more rapidly,
remember better, live about 40 percent longer than rats not fed DMAE and mostinterestingly, when autopsied, their nervous systems resemble those of a youngrat, without any evidence of the usual deterioration of aging. Human nervoussystems also deteriorate with age, especially those of people suffering fromsenility. It is highly probable that DMAE will do the same thing to us. DMAE alsosmoothes out mood swings in humans and seems to help my husband, Steve,when he has a big writing project. He can keep working without getting writersblock, fogged out, or emotionally rollercoastering. DMAE is a little hard to find. Prolongevity and VRP sell it in powder form. Since the FDA doesn’t know any MDR and since the product is not capped up,the bottle of powder from Life Extension sagely states that one-quarterteaspoonful contains 333 milligrams. Get the hint? DMAE tastes a little like soursalt and one-quarter teaspoonful dissolves readily in water every morning beforebreakfast, or anytime for that matter. DMAE is also very inexpensive consideringwhat it does. A year’s supply costs about $20. Lecithin  is a highly tonic and inexpensive food supplement that is underutilized
by many people even though it is easily obtainable in healthfood stores. It is an
emulsifier, breaking fats down into small separate particles, keeping blood
cholesterol emulsified to prevent arterial deposits. Taken persistently, lecithinpartially and slowly eliminates existing cholesterol deposits from the circulatorysystem. In our cholesterol-frightened society lecithin should be a far more popular
supplement than it currently is. It is easy to take either as a food in the granularform or when encapsulated. Lecithin granules have very little flavor and can beadded to a homemade vinegar and oil salad dressing, where they emulsify the oiland make it blend with the vinegar, thickening the mixture and causing it to stick tothe salad better. Lecithin can also be put in a fruits smoothie. A scant tablespoona day is sufficient. Try to buy the kind of lecithin that has the highest phosphatidylcholine content because this substance is the second benefit of taking lecithin.Phosphatidyl choline is another precursor used by the body to build acetylcholineand helps maintain the nervous system. Algae. Spirulina or sun dried chlorella are also great food supplements. Both
make many people feel energized, pepped-up. It is possible to fast on eitherproduct and still maintain sufficient energy levels to take of minimal workresponsibilities. Algae reduces appetite and as a dietary supplement can assist inweight loss. It contains large amounts of highly-assimilable protein due to it’s highchlorophyll content, as well as a large amount of beta carotene. It also assists indetoxification of the lymphatic system. It can be purchased as tablets or powder.Take a heaping teaspoon daily, or at least six tablets. Chapter Seven
The Analysis of Disease States:
Helping the Body Recover
From the Hygienic Dictionary
Diagnosis. [1] In the United States, making a diagnosis implies that you are a doctor duly licensed to
engage in diagnostic function. . . . The making of a diagnosis is reserved only for doctors. . . . The term“analysis” does not have such an explicit legal definition. Thus, it is the term of choice of iridologistsand the one most often used by them. It is essential for the survival and promotion of iridology thatthose who choose to engage in its practice avoid naming any disease condition. As we have seen, to doso is to infringe on rights reserved exclusively for doctors and can land the iridologist, sooner or later,in a snarl of legal troubles. It is better for the iridologist to refrain from suggesting to a person that he has any particular
disease, letting such diagnostics remain the province of licensed doctors. In so doing, the iridologistwill avoid transgressing the law and stepping on the toes of those who are legally qualified todiagnose. It is indeed unfortunate that one of the greatest pitfalls awaiting the iridologist is the temptation
to name diseases. The feelings of satisfaction and power resulting from conferring a name are deeplyrooted in the human psyche. For example, the Bible tells us that man’s first task on Earth was to namethe animals, thus giving him power and dominion over them. Strong is the temptation to name diseases because nearly everyone has come to expect that his
malady has a name. Patients have come to expect, and doctors have been trained to make, a diagnosis. .. . “After all,” the patient may reason, “how can you hope to deal with my condition if you aren’tknowledgeable enough to call it by name?”
It is not necessary to name diseases in order to exercise dominion over them. Dr. Bernard Jensen,
Visions of Health . In self defense, I must make it very clear from the first word that hygienists and
most other naturopaths of various persuasions, and especially I myself, have neverin the past, never!, and do not now, diagnose, treat or offer to cure, disease orillness. Diagnosis and curing are sole, exclusive privileges of certified, duly-licensed medical doctors and may only be done with a grant of Authority to do sofrom the State. Should an unlicensed person diagnose, offer to treat or attempt tocure disease or illness, they will have committed a felonious act. With bigpenalties. Therefore, I do not do it. When one of my clients comes to me and says that a medical doctor says they
have some disease or other, I agree that the medical doctor says they have somedisease or other, and I never dare say that they don’t. Or even confirm on myown authority that I think they do have some disease or other. What I can legally do for a client is to analyze the state of their body and its
organs, looking for weaknesses and apparent allergies. I can lawfully state that Ithink their liver tests weak, the pancreas appears not to be functioning well interms of handling meat digestion, that the kidney is having a hard time of it. I cansay I see a lump sticking out of their body when one is obviously sticking out oftheir body; I can not say that lump is cancerous but I can state that the cells in thatlump test overly strong and that if I myself had a mass of growing cells testingoverly strong and if I believed in the standard medical model, then I would berushing my overly-strong-testing cells to an oncologist. But I don’t dare say theperson has a cancer. Or diabetes. Or is getting close to kidney failure. That is adiagnosis. To me, diagnosis is a form of magic rite in which the physician discovers the
secret name of the devil that is inhabiting one’s body and then, knowing thatsecret name, performs the correct rite and ritual to cast that demon out. I don’tknow why people are made so happy knowing the name of their condition! Doesit really matter? Either the body can heal the condition or it can’t. If it can, you willrecover (especially if you give the body a little help). If the body can’t heal a
condition you will die or live a long time being miserable. No “scientific” medical
magic can do better than that. By describing a disease in terms of its related organ weaknesses, instead of
pinning a Latin name on it, I am able to assist the body to achieve recovery in asuperior way that the physician rarely does. By discovering that the body with thelump of overly strong cells also has a weak spleen, liver and thymus gland, I cantake actions to strengthen the spleen, liver and thymus. If the body can strengthenits spleen, liver and thymus, then the overly strong cells miraculously vanish. But ofcourse what I did did not cure any disease. Any improvements that happen Iassign (correctly) to the body’s own healing power. The way I analyze the organic integrity of the body is through a number of
related methods, including the general appearance of the body, the patient’s healthhistory, various clues such as body and breath odor, skin color and tone, andespecially, biokinesiology, the applied science of muscle testing. Biokinesiologycan be used to test the strength or weakness of specific organs and their function.A weak latissimus dorsi muscle indicates a weak pancreas, for example. Specificacupuncture points can be tested in conjunction with muscle strength to indicatethe condition of specific organs or glands. The strength of the arm’s resistance todownward pressure could be calibrated with a spring scale and precisely gauged,but experienced practitioners have no need for this bother, because they are ableto pick up subtle changes in the arms resistance that are not apparent to thetestee. Thus muscle testing becomes an art form, and becomes as effective as theperson using it is sensitive and aware. Biokinesiology works because every organ and gland in the body is
interconnected with other parts of the body through nerve pathways and nervetransmissions, which are electrical and can be measured through muscle testing.This may seem too esoteric for the “scientific” among you, but acupuncture pointsand energy manifestations around and in the body are now accepted phenomena,their reality demonstrated by special kinds of photography. Acupuncturists, who
heal by manipulating the body’s energy field with metal needles, are now widely
accepted in the western hemisphere. Kinesiology utilizes the same acupuncturepoints (and some others too) for analytic purposes so it is sometimes called“contact reflex analysis.”
I have studied and used Kinesiology for 25 years with the majority of my
clients with very good success. There are some few people who are very difficultto test because they are either too debilitated, lack electrical conductivity, or theirstate of mind is so skeptical and negative about this type of approach that they putup an impenetrable mental barrier and/or hold their body so rigidly that I canhardly determine a response. A skilled tester can overcome the obstacle of aweak body that can barely respond, but the person who is mentally opposed anddetermined to prove you wrong should not be tested. If you proceed on someonelike this it is sure to have an unsatisfactory outcome for all concerned. For even ifI manage to accurately analyze the condition of a skeptical client, they will neverbelieve the analysis and will not follow suggestions. The “scientific,” open-minded, “reasonable” client can be better approached
using an academic-like discussion based on published literature that demonstrateshow people with similar symptoms and complaints do very well on a particulardietary regimen and supplements. This type of person will sometimes followdietary recommendations to the last letter, because their scientific background hastrained them to be obedient. When a client comes to me, I like to take a real good look at who is sitting in
front of me. I take my leisure to find out all about their history, their complaints,their motivation to change, their experience with natural healing, their level ofpersonal responsibility, whether or not they have to work, whether or not they cantake time out to heal, will they fast or take supplements, do they have sufficientfinances to carry a program through to a successful completion, do they havepeople closely connected to them that are strongly opposed to alternativeapproaches, can they withstand some discomfort and self-denial, do they have
toxic relationships with other people that are contributing to their condition, are
they willing to read and educate themselves in greater depth about natural healing,etc. I need to know the answers to these questions in order to help them choose aprogram which is most likely to succeed. Even though fasting is the most effective method I know of, it is not for people
who are compelled to keep up a work schedule, nor is it for people who are veryill and do not have anyone to assist them and supervise them. Nor is it for peoplewho do not understand fasting and are afraid of it. People who have associatesthat are opposed to it, and people who do not have a strongly-functioning liver orkidneys should not casually start water fasting either. Seriously ill people that havebeen on a meat-heavy diet with lots of addicting substances need a long runwayinto a fast so as to not overwhelm their organs of elimination. Does the person infront of me have an eating disorder, or an otherwise suicidal approach to fasting,etc. Clearly fasting is not for everyone, and if I recommend it to the wrongperson, the result will be a bad reputation for a marvelous tool. Given that many clients can not fast without a lot of preparation, the majority
of my clients start out with a gentle detox program that takes considerably moretime, but works. These gradients have been outlined under the healing programsfor the chronically ill, acutely ill, etc. To help rebuild poorly functioning organs, I sometimes use a specialized group
of food supplements called protomorphogens. These are not readily available tothe general public and perhaps should not be casually purchasable like vitamins,because, as with many prescription drugs, supervision is usually necessary fortheir successful use. If the FDA ever succeeds at making protomorphogensunavailable to me, I could still have very good results. (At this time the Canadianauthorities do not allow importation of protomorphogens for resale, thoughindividuals can usually clear small shipments through Canada Customs if for theirown personal use.) But protomorphogens do facilitate healing and sometimespermit healing to occur at a lower gradient of handling. Without them a body
might have to fast to heal, with the aid of protomorphogens a person might be
able to get better without fasting. And if protomorphogens are used (chewedup—ugh!) while fasting, healing is accelerated. Protomorphogens are made from freeze-dried, organically-raised animal organ
meats (usually calf or lamb) combined with very specific vitamins, herbs and otherco-factors to potentiate the effect. I view protomorphogens as containingnutritional supplementation specific for the rebuilding of the damaged organ. Doctor Royal Lee, a medical genius who developed protomorphogens therapy
in the 50s and who spent several stints in prison in exchange for his benevolenceand concern for human well-being, also founded the company that has suppliedme with protomorphogens. After decades of official persecution and denial of theefficacy of protomorphogens by the power structure, it looks like they are aboutto finally have their day. As I write this book cutting-edge medical researchcompanies are developing therapies using concentrated animal proteins(protomorphogens) to treat arthritis, multiple sclerosis, eye inflammations andjuvenile diabetes. The researchers talk as though they are highly praiseworthy for“discovering” this approach. Unfortunately, this development is likely to cut two ways. On one hand, it
vindicates Dr. Lee; on the other, when these drug companies find a way to patenttheir materials, they may finally succeed at forcing protomorphogens (currentlyquite inexpensive) off the non-prescription market and into the restricted andprofitable province of the MD. I divide clients into two basic types: simple cases and complex ones. When I
was treating mental illness, occasionally I had a client who had not been sick fortoo long. I could usually make this client well quite easily. But if the person hadalready become institutionalized, had been psychotic for many years, hadreceived much prior treatment, then their case had been made much moredifficult. This sort had a poor prognosis. A very similar situation exists withphysical illnesses. Many people get sick only because they lack information about
how to keep themselves healthy and about what made them sick. Once they find
out the truth, they take my medicine without complaint and almost inevitably getbetter very rapidly. Some of these people can be quite ill when they first come tome but usually they have not been sick for very long. Their intention when cominginto my office is very positive and have no counter intentions to getting better.There are no spiritual or psychological reasons that they deserve to be sick. If thisperson had not found me, they almost certainly would have found some otherpractitioner who would have made them well. This type of person honestly feelsthey are entitled to wellness. And they are. However, some of the sick are not sick for lack of life-style information; they
suffer from a mental/spiritual malady as well, one that inevitably preceded theirillness by many years. In fact, their physical ailments are merely reflections ofunderlying problems. This patient’s life is usually a snarl of upsets, problems, andguilty secrets. Their key relationships are usually vicious or unhealthy. Their levelof interpersonal honesty may be poor. There are usually many things about theirlives they do not confront and so, can not change. With this type of case, all thephysical healing in the world will not make them permanently better because themental and emotional stresses they live under serve as a constant source ofenervation. Cases like this usually do not have only one thing wrong with them. They
almost always have been sick for a long time; most have been what I call “doctorhoppers,” confused by contrary diagnoses and conflicting MD opinions. When Iget a case like this I know from the first that healing is going to be a long process,and a dubious one at that. On the physical level, their body will only repair oneaspect of their multiple illnesses at a time. Simultaneously, they must be urged toconfront their life on a gentle gradient. There is usually a lot of backsliding androllercoastering. The detoxification process, physical and psychological, can takeseveral years and must happen on all the levels of their life. This kind of case seesonly gradual improvement interspersed with periods of worsening that indicatethere remains yet another level of mental unawareness that has to be unraveled. Few medical doctors or holistic therapists really understand or can help this
kind of case. To do so, the doctor has to be in touch with their own reactive mindand their own negative, evil impulses (which virtually all humans have). Fewpeople, including therapists, are willing to be aware of their own dark side. Butwhen we deny it in ourselves, we must pretend it doesn’t exist in others, andbecome its victim instead of conquering it. Anyone who denies that they have orare influenced by their own darker aspects who seem to be totally sweet andlight, is lying; proof of this is that they still are here on Earth. All this generalizing about diagnostic methods and clinical approaches could go
on for chapters and more chapters, and writing them would be fine if I wereteaching a group of health clinicians that were reading this book to become betterpractitioners. But I’m sure most of my readers are far more interested in somecomplaint of their own or in the health problem of a loved one, and are intenselyinterested in one might go about handling various conditions and complaints, whattypes of organ weaknesses are typically associated with them, and whatapproaches I usually recommend to encourage healing. And, most importantly,what kind of success or lack of it have I had over the past twenty five years,encouraging the healing of various conditions with hygienic methods. In the case studies that follow I will mostly report the simpler, easier-to-fix
problems because that is what most people have; still, many of these involve life-threatening or quality-of-life-destroying illnesses. I will tell the success story ofone very complicated, long-suffering case that involved multiple levels ofpsychological and spiritual handling as well as considerable physical healing. Arthritis
Some years back my 70 years old mother came from the family homestead in
the wilds of northern British Columbia to visit me at the Great Oaks School. Shehad gotten into pathetic physical condition. Fifteen years previously she hadremarried. Tom, her new husband, had been a gold prospector and general
mountain man, a wonderfully independent and cantankerous cuss, a great hunter
and wood chopper and all around good-natured backwoods homesteadhandyman. Tom had tired of solitary log cabin life and to solve his problem hadtaken on the care and feeding of a needy widow, my mom. He began doing thecooking and menu planning. Tom, a little older than my mother, had no senseabout eating but could still shoot game. Ever since their marriage she had beenliving on moose meat stews with potatoes and gravy, white flour bread with jam,black tea with canned milk, a ritual glass of brandy at bedtime, and almost nofresh fruit or vegetables. In her youth, my mother had been a concert pianist; now she had such large
arthritic knobs on all of her knuckles that her hands had become claws. Thoughthere was still that very same fine upright in the cabin that I had learned to play asa child, she had long since given up the piano. Her knees also had large arthriticknobs; this proud woman with a straight back and long, flowing strides was bentover, limping along with a cane. She was also 30 pounds overweight and herblood pressure was a very dangerous 210 over 140, just asking for a stroke. Instead of a welcoming feast, the usual greeting offered to a loved one who
has not been seen for a few years, I immediately started her on a juice fast. I gaveher freshly prepared carrot juice (one quart daily) mixed with wheat grass juice(three ounces daily) plus daily colonics. She had no previous experience withthese techniques but she gamely accepted everything I threw her way because sheknew I was doing it because I loved her and wanted to see her in bettercondition. She also received a daily full body massage with particular attention tothe hand and knees, stimulating the circulation to the area and speeding theremoval of wastes. Every night her hands and knees were wrapped in warmcastor oil compresses held in place with old sheeting. I did not use any vitamins or food supplements in her case. I did give her
flavorful herbal teas made of peppermint and chamomile because she needed thecomfort of a hot cupa; but these teas were in no way medicinal except for hermorale. After three weeks on this program, Grannybelle, as I and my daughters called
her, had no unsightly knobs remaining on either her knuckles or knees and shecould walk and move her fingers without pain within a normal range of movement.The big payoff for me besides seeing her look so wonderful (20 years youngerand 20 pounds lighter) was to hear her sit down and treat us to a Beethovenrecital. And her blood pressure was 130 over 90. Breast Cancer
I have worked with many young women with breast cancer; so many in fact,
that their faces and cases tend to blur. But whenever I think about them, Kellyinevitably comes to mind because we became such good friends. Like me, Kellywas an independent-minded back country Canuck. At the age 26, she received amedical diagnosis of breast cancer. Kelly had already permitted a lumpectomyand biopsy, but had studied the statistical outcomes and did not want to treat herillness with radical mastectomy, radiation and chemotherapy because she knewher odds of long-term survival without radical medical treatment were equal to orbetter than allowing the doctors to do everything possible. Nor did she want tolose even one of her breasts. She knew how useful her breasts were because shehad already suckled one child, not to mention their contribution to one’s own self-image as a whole person. I admired Kelly’s unusual independent-mindednessbecause she comes from a country where universal health coverage is in place;her insurance would have paid all the costs had she been willing to acceptconventional medicine, but Canadian national health insurance does not coveralternative therapy. Kelly stayed with me for nearly two months as a residential faster, because she
needed to be far from the distractions of a troubled family life. With financialsupport from her parents and child-care from her friends she was able to taketime out to give the recovery of health top priority in her life without worryingabout whether her small son was being well cared for. This peace of mind wasalso very important to her recovery. Analysis with biokinesiology showed a pervasively weak immune system,
including a weak thymus gland, spleen, and an overloaded lymphatic system. Herliver was weak, but not as weak as it might have been, because she had becomea vegetarian, and had been working on her health in a haphazard fashion for a fewyears. Kelly’s body also showed weaknesses in pancreatic and adrenal functionas well as a toxic colon. Most immediately worrisome to her, biokinesiologytesting showed several over-strong testing lumpy areas in the breasts and over-strong testing lumpy lymph nodes in the armpits. Cancerous tumors always testoverly strong
Kelly’s earlier life-style had contributed to her condition in several ways. She
had worked for years in a forestry tree nursery handling seedling trees treatedwith highly toxic chemicals. She had worked as a cook in a logging camp forseveral seasons, eating too much meat and greasy food. And she had also spentthe usual number of adolescent and young adult years deeply involved inrecreational drug use and the bad diet that went with it. Kelly started right in on a rigorous water fast that lasted for one entire month. She had a colonic every day, plus body work including reflexology, holding andmassage of neurolymphatic and neurovascular points, and stimulation ofacupuncture points related to weak organ systems and general massage tostimulate overall circulation and lymphatic drainage. She took protomorphogensto help rebuild her weakened organs; she took ten grams of vitamin C every dayand a half-dose of Life Extension vitamin mix in assimilable powdered form; shedrank herbal teas of echinacea and fenugreek seeds and several ounces of freshlysqueezed wheat grass juice every day. Twice each day she made poultices out ofclay and the pulp left over from making her wheat grass juice, filled an old brawith this mixture and pressed it to her breast for several hours until the clay dried.Shortly, I will explain all the measures in some detail. These physical therapies were accompanied by counseling sessions dealing
with some severe and long-unresolved problems, response patterns and
relationships that triggered her present illness. Her son’s father (Kelly’s ex) was
suppressive and highly intimidating. Fearful of him, Kelly seemed unable tosuccessfully extricate herself from the relationship due to the ongoing contactwhich revolved over visitation and care of their son. But Kelly had grit! Whilefasting, she confronted these tough issues in her life and unflinchingly made thenecessary decisions. When she returned to Canada she absolutely decided,without any nagging doubts, reservations or qualifications, to make any changesnecessary to ensure her survival. Only after having made these hard choices couldshe heal. I one respect, Kelly was a highly unusual faster. Throughout the entire month
on water, Kelly took daily long walks, frequently stopping to lie down and rest inthe sun on the way. She would climb to or from the top of a very large and steephill nearby. She never missed a day, rain or shine. At the end of her month on water Kelly’s remaining breast lumps had
disappeared, the lymphatic system and immune system tested strong, as well asthe liver, pancreas, adrenals, and large intestine. No areas tested overly strong. She broke the fast with the same discipline she had conducted it, on carrot
juice, a cup every two hours. After three days on juice she began a raw food dietwith small servings of greens and sprouts well chewed, interspersed at two hourintervals with fresh juicy fruits. After about ten days on “rabbit food,” she easedinto avocados, cooked vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains and then wenthome. As I write this, it is eight years since Kelly’s long fast. She still comes to see
me every few years to check out her diet and just say hello. She has had twomore children by a new, and thoroughly wonderful husband and suckled themboth for two years each; her peaceful rural life centers around this new, happyfamily and the big, Organic garden she grows. She religiously takes her LifeExtension vitamins and keeps her dietary and life-style indiscretions small andinfrequent. She is probably going to live a long, time. I consider Kelly’s cluster of organ weaknesses very typical of all cancers
regardless of type or location, as well as being typical of AIDS and other criticalinfections by organisms that usually reside in the human body without causingtrouble (called “opportunistic”). All these diseases are varieties of immune systemfailure. All of these conditions present a similar pattern of immune systemweaknesses. They all center around what I call the “deadly triangle,” comprisedof a weak thymus gland, weak spleen, and a weak liver. The thymus and spleenform the core of the body’s immune system. The weak liver contributes to a highlytoxic system that further weakens the immune system. To top it off, people withcancer invariably have a poor ability to digest cooked protein (animal orvegetable) (usually from a weak pancreas unable to make enough digestiveenzymes) and eat too much of it, giving them a very toxic colon, and anoverloaded lymphatic system. Whenever I analyze someone with this pattern, especially the entire deadly
triangle, I let the person know that if I had those particular weaknesses I wouldconsider my survival to be at immediate risk I’d consider it an emergency situationdemanding vigorous attention. It does not matter if they don’t yet have a tumor, orfibroid, or opportunistic infection; if they don’t already have something of thatnature they soon will. Here’s yet another example of why I disapprove of diagnosis. By giving the
condition a name like “lymphoma” or “melanoma”, “chronic fatigue syndrome”“Epstein-Barr syndrome” or “AIDS,” “systemic yeast infection”, “hepatitis” orwhat have, people think the doctor then understands their disease. But the doctorrarely understands that all these seemingly different diseases are essentially thesame disease—a toxic body with a dysfunctional immune system. What isrelevant is that a person with the deadly triangle must strengthen their immunesystem, and their pancreas, and their liver, and detoxify their body immediately. Ifthese repairs are accomplished in time, the condition goes away, whatever itsLatin name may have been. Now, about some of the adjuncts to Kelly’s healing. Let me stress here that
had none of these substances or practices been used, she probably still wouldhave recovered. Perhaps a bit more slowly. Perhaps a bit less comfortably.Conversely, had Kelly treated her cancer with every herb, poultice and vitaminknown to man but had neglected fasting and colonics, she might well have died. Ithas been wisely said that intelligence may be defined as the ability to correctlydetermine differences, similarities, and importances. I want my readers to beintelligent about understanding the relative importances of different hygienictreatment and useful supporting practices. Echinacea and chaparral leaves, red clover flowers, and fenugreek seeds are
made into medicinal teas that I find very helpful in detoxification programs,because they all are aggressive blood or lymph cleansers and boost the immuneresponse. These same teas can be used to help the body throw off a cold, flu, orother acute illness but they have a much more powerful effect on a fasting bodythan on one that is eating. Echinacea and chaparral are extraordinarily bitter andmay be better accepted if ground up and encapsulated, or mixed with other teaswith pleasant flavors such as peppermint or lemon grass. These teas should besimmered until they are at the strongest concentration palatable, drinking three orfour cups of this concentrate a day. If you use echinacea, then chaparral probablyisn’t necessary and visa versa. Red clover is another blood cleanser, perhaps alittle less effective but it has a pleasant, sweet taste and may be better acceptedby the squeamish. If there is lymphatic congestion I always include fenugreek seed tea brewed at
the strength of approximately one tablespoon of seeds to a quart of water. Expectthe tea to be brown, thick and mucilaginous, with a reasonably pleasant tastereminiscent of maple syrup. Kelly used poultices of clay and wheat grass pulp on her lumps, somewhat like
the warm castor oil poultices I used on my mother’s arthritic deposits. Poulticesnot only feel very comforting, but they have the effect of softening up deposits and
tumors so that a detoxifying, fasting body is more able to re absorb them. Poultices draw, pulling toxins out through the skin, unburdening the liver. Clay(freshly-mixed potters clay I purchase from a potters’ guild), mixed with finelychopped or blended young wheat grass (in emergencies I’ve even used lawngrasses) makes excellent drawing poultices. Without clay, I’ve also usedvegetable poultices made of chopped or blended comfrey leaves, comfrey root,slightly cooked (barely wilted) cabbage leaves, slightly steamed onion or garlic(cooked just enough to soften it). These are very effective to soften tumors,abscesses and ulcers. Aloe poultices are good on burns. Poultices should bethought of as helpful adjuncts to other, more powerful healing techniques and notas remedies all by themselves, except for minor skin problems. Poultices, to be effective, need to be troweled on half an inch thick, extending
far beyond the effected area, covered with cheese cloth or rags torn from oldcotton sheets so they don’t dry out too fast. Fresh poultices needs to be appliedseveral times daily. They also need to be left on the body until they do dry. Thenpoultices are thrown away, to be followed by another as often as patience willallow. Do not cover poultices tightly with plastic because if they don’t dry out theywon’t draw much. The drawing is in the drying. Sometimes poultices cause a tumor or deposit to be expelled through the skin
rather than being adsorbed, all this drama with rather spectacular pus and gore.This phenomena is actually beneficial and should be welcomed because anytimethe body can push toxins out through the skin, the burden on the organs ofelimination are lessened. Wheat grass juice has a powerful anti-tumor effect, is very perishable, is
laborious to make, but is worth the effort because it contains powerful enzymesand nutrients that help detoxify and heal when taken internally or applied to theskin. As a last resort with dying patients who can no longer digest anything takenby mouth I’ve implanted wheat grass juice rectally (in a cleansed colon). Some ofthem haven’t died. You probably can’t buy wheat grass juice that retains much
medicinal effect because it needs to be very fresh and should be drunk within
minutes of squeezing. Chilled sharply and immediately after squeezing it mightmaintain some potency for an hour or two. Extracting juice from grass takes aspecial press that resembles a meat grinder. The wheat is grown in transplant or seedling trays in bright light. I know
someone who uses old plastic cafeteria trays for this. The seed is soakedovernight, spread densely atop a tray, covered shallowly with fine soil, kept moistbut not soggy. When the grass is about four inches high, begin harvesting bycutting off the leaves with a scissors and juicing them. If the tray contains severalinches of soil you usually get a second cutting of leaves. You need to start a newtray every few days; one tray can be cut for three or four days. (Kulvinskas,1975)
More wheat grass juice is not better than just enough; three ounces a day is
plenty! It is a very powerful substance! The flavor of wheat grass juice is sointense that some people have to mix it with carrot juice to get it down. DO NOTOVERUSE. The energizing effects of wheat grass can be so powerful that somepeople make a regular practice of drinking it. However, I’ve seen many peoplewho use wheat grass juice as a tonic become allergic to it much as antibioticdependent people do to antibiotics. Better to save wheat grass for emergencies. I also have treated my own breast cancers—twice. The first time I was only
23 years old. One night I noticed that it hurt to sleep the way I usually did on myleft side because there was a hard lump in my left breast. It was quite large—about the size of a goose egg. Having just completed RN training two years prior,I had been well brain washed about my poor prognosis and knew exactly whatrequisite actions must taken. I scheduled a biopsy under anesthetic, so that if the tumor was malignant they
could proceed to full mastectomy without delay. I was ignorant of any alternativecourse of action at the time. I might add that before I grew my first tumor I had been consuming large
amounts of red meat in a mistaken understanding gained in nursing school that agood diet contained large amounts of animal protein. In addition to the stress ofbeing a full time psychology graduate student existing on a very low budget, I wasexperiencing I very frustrating relationship with a young man that left meconstantly off center and confused. A biopsy was promptly performed. The university hospital’s SOP required
that three pathologists make an independent decision about the nature of a tumorbefore proceeding with radical surgery. Two of the pathologist agreed that mytumor was malignant, which represented the required majority vote. But thesurgeon removed only the lump, which he said was well encapsulated and forsome reason did not proceed with a radical mastectomy. These days manysurgeons routinely limit themselves to lumpectomies. I never did find out why I awakened from general anesthetic with two breasts,
but I have since supposed that due to my tender age the surgeon was reluctant todisfigure me without at least asking me for permission, or giving me some time toprepare psychologically. When I came out of anesthesia he told me that the lumpwas malignant, and that he had removed it, and that he needed to do a radicalmastectomy to improve my prognosis over the next few years. He asked me tothink it over, but he signed me up on his surgery list for the following Monday. I did think it over and found I was profoundly annoyed at the idea of being
treated like I was just a statistic, so I decided that I would be unique. I made afirm decision that I would be well and stay well—and I was for the next fifteenyears. The decision healed me. When I was 37 I had a recurrence. At the time I had in residence Ethyl and
Marge, the two far-gone breast cancer cases I already told you about. I also hadin residence a young woman with a breast tumor who had not undergone anymedical treatment, not even a lumpectomy. (I will relate her case in detail shortly. )I was too identified emotionally with helping these three, overly-empathetic due to
my own history. I found myself taking on their symptoms and their pain. I went so
far into sympathy as to grow back my tumor—just as it had the first time—a lumpmushroomed from nothing to the size of a goose egg in only three weeks inexactly the same place as the first one. Just out of curiosity I went in for a needlebiopsy. Once again it was judged to be malignant, and I got the same pressurefrom the surgeon for immediate surgery. This time, however, I had an alternativesystem of healing that I believed in. So I went home, continued to care for myvery sick residents, and began to work on myself. The first thing I had to confront about myself was that I was being a
compassionate fool. I needed to learn how to maintain my own personalboundaries, and clearly delineate what stuff in my mind and my body was reallymine and what was another’s. I needed to apply certain mental techniques of self-protection known to and practiced by many healers. I knew beyond doubt that Ihad developed sympathetic breast cancer because a similar phenomena hadhappened to me before. Once, when I had previously been working on a personwith very severe back pain with hands-on techniques, I suddenly had the pain,and the client was totally free of it. So I protected myself when working with sickpeople. I would wash my hands and arms thoroughly with cold water, or withwater and vinegar after contact. I would shake off their “energy,” have a coldshower, walk bare foot on the grass, and visualize myself well with intactboundaries. These prophylaxes had been working for me, but I was particularlyvulnerable to people with breast cancer. I also began detoxification dieting, took more supplements, and used
acupressure and reflexology as my main lines of attack. My healing diet consistedof raw food exclusively. I allowed myself fruits (not sweet fruits) and vegetables(including a lot of raw cabbage because vegetables in the cabbage family such ascauliflower and broccoli are known to have a healing effect on cancer), rawalmonds, raw apricot kernels, and some sprouted grains and legumes. I drankdiluted carrot juice, and a chlorophyll drink made up of wheat grass and barley
green and aloe vera juice. I took echinaechia, red clover, and fenugreek seeds. I
worked all the acupuncture points on my body that strengthen the immune system,including the thymus gland, lymph nodes, and spleen. I also worked the meridians,and reflex points for the liver, and large intestine. I massaged the breast along thenatural lines of lymphatic drainage from the area. Last, and of great importance, I KNEW that the treatment would work, and
that the tumor would quickly disappear. It did vanish totally in three months. Itwould have gone away quicker if I had water fasted, but I was unable to do thisbecause I needed physical strength to care for my resident patients and family. Eighteen years have passed since that episode, and I have had no further
reappearance of breast tumors. At age 55 I still have all my body parts, and havehad no surgery except the original lumpectomy. Many, viewing my muscles andathletic performance, would say my health is exceptional but I know my ownfrailties and make sure I do not aggravate them. I still have exactly the same organdeficiencies as other cancer patients and must keep a very short leash on mylifestyle. If for some reason I wanted to make my life very short, all I would have to do
would be to abandon my diet, stop taking supplements, eat red meat and icecream every day and be unhappy about something. Incidentally, I have had manyresidential clients with breast cancer since then, and have not taken on theirsymptoms, so I can assume that I have safely passed that hurdle. I’ve helped dozens of cases of simple breast cancer where my treatment
began before the cancer broadly spread. Kelly’s case was not the easiest of thisgroup, nor the hardest. Sometimes there was lymphatic involvement that themedical doctors had not yet treated in any way. All but one of my early-onsetbreast cancer cases recovered. I believe those are far better results than achievedby AMA treatment. Before I crow too much, let me stress that every one of these women was a
good candidate for recovery—under 40 years old, ambulatory and did not feel
very sick. And most importantly, every one of them had received no other
debilitating medical treatment except a needle biopsy or simple lumpectomy.None of these women had old tumors (known about for more than six months)and none of the tumors were enormous (nothing larger than a walnut). Clearly, this group is not representative of the average breast cancer case. Hygienic therapy for cancer is a radical idea these days and tends to attractyounger people, or older, desperate people who have already been through theworks. In every one of my simple cases the tumors were reabsorbed by the bodyduring the thirty days of water fasting and the client left happy. Except one. I think I should describe this unsuccessful case, this “dirty case,”
so my readers get a more balanced idea of how fearsome cancer really isn’t if thesick person can clearly resolve to get better and has no problem about achievingwellness. Marie was an artisan and musician from Seattle who grew up back East in an
upper-middle class dysfunctional family. She was in her late twenties. She hadbeen sexually abused by an older brother, was highly reactive, and had neverbeen able to communicate honestly with anyone except her lesbian lover(honestly?, maybe, about some things). Three years prior to coming to see me Marie had been medically diagnosed as
having breast cancer and had been advised to have immediate surgery. Sheignored this advice; Marie never told her friends, said nothing to her family andtried to conceal it from her lover because she did not want to disrupt their life. On her own she did begin eating a Macrobiotic diet. In spite of this diet, the
tumor grew, but grew very slowly. After two years the tumor was discovered byher lover, who after a year of exhausting and upsetting arguments, forced Marie toseek treatment. Since Marie adamantly refused to go the conventional medicalroute, she ended up on my doorstep as a compromise. By this time the tumor was the size of a fist and had broken through the skin of
the left breast. It was very ugly, very hard. Biokinesiology showed the usual
deadly triangle and other associated organ weakneses typical of cancer. Marie
began fasting on water with colonics and poultices and bodywork and counselingand supplements. At the end of the water fast, Marie looked much healthier, withclear eyes and clear skin and had a sort of shine about her, but the tumor had onlyreceded enough for the skin to close over it; it was still large, and very hard. Tofully heal, Marie probably needed at least two more water fasts of equal lengthinterspersed with a few months on a raw food diet. But she lacked the personaltoughness to confront another fast in the near future. Nor was she emotionally upto what she regarded as the deprivation of a long-term raw foods healing diet. So I advised her to seek other treatment. Still unwilling to accept standard
medical management of her case, Marie chose to go to the Philippines to have“psychic surgery.” She was excited and optimistic about this; I was interestedmyself because I was dubious about this magical procedure; if Marie went Iwould have a chance to see the results (if any) on a person I was very familiarwith. Marie had her tickets and was due to leave in days when her lover, againstMarie’s directly-stated wishes, called her parents and informed them of what washappening. The parents had known nothing of Marie’s cancer and were shocked, upset,
outraged! They had not known Marie was a lesbian, much less that their daughterwas flirting with (from their view) obvious quackery. Their daughter neededimmediate saving and her parents and brother (the one who had abused her) flewto Oregon and surprisingly appeared the next day in a state of violent rage. Theythreatened lawsuits, police, incarceration, they threatened to have their daughtercivilly committed as unable to take care of herself. They thought everything Mariehad done for the last three years was my fault. I was lucky to stay out of jail. Ofcourse, all of this was why Marie had not told them in the first place; she hadwanted to avoid this kind of a scene. Marie did not have enough personal integrity to withstand the domination of
her immediate family. They put her in a hospital, where Marie had a radical
mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation. Assured that they had done everything
that should have been done, the self-righteous parents went back home. Marienever recovered from chemotherapy and radiation. She died in the hospitalsurrounded by her lesbian friends who took dedicated, ever-so-sympathetic turnsmaintaining an emotional round-the-clock vigil. Marie’s death was partly my fault. She was an early case of mine. At the time I
did not yet understand the total effect of lack of ethics and irresponsibility onillness. Had Marie really wanted to live in the first place, she would have soughttreatment three years earlier. In our counseling sessions she always evaded thisquestion and I had not been wise enough to pin her down with my knee on herchest and make her answer up. Marie had too many secrets from everybody andwas never fully honest in any of her relationships, including with me. I think sheonly came to Great Oaks at her lover’s insistence and to the day she died wastrying to pretend that nothing was wrong. All Marie really wanted from her life was to be loved and have a lot of loving
attention. In the end, her dramatic death scene gave her that, which is probablywhy she manifested cancer and kept it and eventually, died from it. The name for this game is “secondary gain.” A lot of sick people are playing it. Their illness lets them win their deepest desire; they get love, attention, revenge,sympathy, complete service, pampering, create guilt in others. When sick peoplereceive too much secondary gain they never get well. One of the hardest things about being a healer is that one accumulates an ever-
enlarging series of dirty, failed cases like this one. It is depressing and makes aperson want to quit doctoring. Whenever I get involved with a case I really wantthem to get better. My life is put entirely out of joint for several months dealingwith a residential faster. My schedule is disrupted; my family life suffers; mypersonal health suffers. No amount of mere money could pay for this. And thensome of these people go and waste all my help to accomplish some discreditablesecret agenda that they have never really admitted to themselves or others. Constant Complaints
Alice was a middle-aged woman who couldn’t understand why she had
always felt tired, even when she was young. Her life had been this way ever sinceshe could remember. Most puzzling to her was why her life was so Book-Of-Joblike. She did everything the proper way. Doing things correctly was important toher, and fitted her Puritan background. Alice supported all the right causes, didgood works, was active in a Unitarian church and bought all her food at thehealthfood store—and made sure it was organically grown. But in spite of Alice’s righteous living, her existence was a treadmill of
constant, minor complaints. She was constantly exhausted, so much so she haddifficulty getting up in the morning and feared she might have chronic fatiguesyndrome (whatever that is). Alice suffered bouts of depression over thoughts likethese, and had many acute illnesses like colds that hung on interminably andwould not go away. She had a constant post-nasal drip. Though she enjoyed life,her body was a millstone around her neck. I’ve had a lot of clients exactly like Alice. Sometimes they complain of
headaches; sometimes constant yeast or bladder infections. Whatever thecomplaints, the symptoms are rarely severe enough to classify themselves assomeone who is seriously ill, but their symptoms rarely go away and they almostnever feel good. Medical doctors rarely find anything wrong with them, thoughthey will frequently prescribe an antibiotic to treat a somewhat constant infection,or an antihistamine for sinus symptoms. Getting a new prescription drug makesthe complaint go away for a short time until their resistance is lowered again andthe very same complaint returns. These people frequently depend on over thecounter pills and are routinely prescribed sleeping remedies and antidepressants.If instead of this route they will but take my medicine they are usually easy to fixand afterwards are amazed that it was all that simple and that so much of their lifehas been less than it could have been. Alice had been through the medical doctor route. She had become quite
familiar with antibiotics for her colds and flu, and also took synthetic thyroidhormone—the doctor had diagnosed her fatigue as being caused by anunderactive thyroid, which was partly correct—but the thyroid medication didn’tgive her much more energy. Alice had been supporting this medical doctor ingrand style for over thirty years but never obtained the relief she sought. I put Alice through my usual two hour first-time-visit thorough analysis. For
two weeks before coming to see me she had saved tiny samples of everything sheate, wrapped them in plastic film, carefully labeled, and put them in the freezer.Along with these food samples and a typed list of all these foods, she brought abig box full of her condiments, herb teas, vitamins, spices, prescriptionmedications, over the counter drugs, oils, grains, breads, crackers and smallsamples of her usual fresh vegetables and fruits. Even her water. Her entirekitchen! By biokinesiology we proceeded to test all of her foods for allergicreactions. I also tested the integrity of her organs and glands and in the process,got a detailed medical history and list of her complaints. Alice had exhausted adrenals, and they probably had been that way for thirty
years. Her pancreas was now too weak to digest the legumes that made up alarge part of her vegetarian diet. She was allergic to wheat, soy, and dairyproducts and had especially been eating dairy in the mistaken notion that it wasnecessary to keep up her protein intake. Really very typical. So many health foodstore shoppers these days mistakenly believe that, because they are vegetarianand do not eat meat, they especially need to boost their protein intake with dairyand soy. Unfortunately, so many North Americans are highly allergic to dairy andunfortunately, soy products are as hard or harder to digest than cooked meats. Alice was especially shocked to discover that she was allergic to such foods
as cabbage family vegetables, alfalfa sprouts and citrus. Most people don’t thinkthat anyone could be allergic to something as healthy as alfalfa sprouts. Thedoctor was right about one thing; her thyroid was underperforming. He had notnoticed that her heart was weak. Medical doctors rarely discover an organ weakness until that organ actually
begins to catastrophically fail. A busy honest doctor will usually tell thecomplaining patient there is nothing wrong with them: go home, take two aspirin,accept the fact that your body is not perfect and don’t worry about it. A hungrydoctor will be delighted to perform countless lab tests, seeking any possiblereason for the complaint. This can go on as long as the patient has money or aslong as the insurance company will pay. They rarely find anything “wrong” and thepatient is far better off if the doctor doesn’t discover something “serious” to treatbecause their treatment may carry with it consequences far more severe than thecomplaint. For example, I have seen dozens of people whose lives were virtuallyruined after surgical treatment for chronic back pain. Biokinesiology is actually a far more sensitive system of analysis than lab tests. It picks up weaknesses at a very early stage so total organ failure can beprevented. Rarely will any of the organ weaknesses I discover be confirmed by amedical doctor. First I put Alice on a six week cleanse. She did one week onfresh, raw food; one week on dilute carrot juice with some green leafy vegetablesjuice too; one week on water fasting; and then she repeated the series. After sixweeks of detoxification, I gave Alice a Life Extension megavitamin formula,discovered she could not handle the acid form of vitamin C (that she had alreadybeen taking) and had her start on protomorphogens to rebuild her weakenedendocrine system, her exhausted adrenals and weak pancreas. She also begantaking pancreatic enzymes when she ate vegetable protein. She was put on amaintenance diet that eliminated foods she was allergic to; the diet primarilyconsisted of whole grains, nuts, cooked and raw vegetables, and raw fruits. Onher maintenance diet Alice had a profound resurgence of energy and rediscovereda sense of well-being she had not known for decades. She began to feel like shehad when she was a child. Her constant sinus drip was gone. She was able tostop taking synthetic thyroid hormones and instead, supported her endocrinesystem with protomorphogens. A Rampaging Infection
At the age of 40, John, an old bohemian client of mine, came into a moderate
inheritance and went “native” in the Fiji Islands in the South Pacific. He spentabout four months hanging out with the locals. Life there was so much fun thatJohn completely forgot that his body was actually rather delicate, that many of hisorgans were weak, and that to feel good, he had to live a fairly simon-pure life. But the jovial, accepting, devil-may-care Fijians enjoyed a constant party,
even more so because John’s money allowed the Fijians to manifest powerful,tropical, home-grown strains of recreational herbs to smoke in abundance, beerand rum and worse, the Fijians (and John) constantly used a very toxic thoughonly mildly-euphoric narcotic called kava, something Europeans usually have nogenetic resistance to. The Fijians (and John) also ate a lot of freshly-caught fishfried in grease, well-salted, and huge, brain-numbing bowls of greasy starches,foods that they call i’coi, or “real food” as opposed to things like fruit and
vegetables that aren’t real food because they don’t knock you to the floor forhours trying to digest them in a somnambulant doze. John miraculously kept up with this party for a few months and then, while
scuba diving, got some small coral scratches on his leg. These got infected. Theinfections got worse. Soon he had several huge, suppurating, ulcerous sores onhis legs and worse, the infections became systemic and began spreading rapidly.He was running a fever and was in considerable pain. So John booked anemergency ticket home and fled to find Doctor Isabelle. When I met his plane hewas rolled out in a wheelchair, unable to walk because of painfully swollen legs.

Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        But to do that, C is going to have to be administered atthe maximum dose the body can process. This is easily discoverable by a ‘boweltolerance test’ which basically means you keep taking two or three grams of Ceach hour, (preferably in the powdered, most rapidly assimilable form) until youget a runny stool (the trots). The loose stool happens when there is so much C
entering the small intestine that it is not all absorbed, but is instead, passed through
to the large intestine. At that point cut back just enough that the stool is only alittle loose, not runny. At this dose, your blood stream will be as saturated byvitamin C as you can achieve by oral ingestion. It can make an important difference which type of vitamin C is taken because
many people are unable to tolerate the acid form of C beyond 8 or 10 grams aday, but they can achieve a therapeutic dose without discomfort with the alkaline(buffered) vitamin C products such as calcium ascorbate, sodium ascorbate, ormagnesium-potassium ascorbates. Vitamin C also speeds up the healing of internal tissues and damaged
connective tissue. Damaged internal tissues might include stomach ulcers (use thealkaline form of vitamin C only), bladder and kidney infections (acid form usuallybest), arthritic disorders with damage to joints and connective tissue (alkalineform usually best). Sports injuries heal up a lot faster with a therapeutic dose ofvitamin C. As medicine, vitamin C should be taken at the rate of one or twograms every two hours (depending on the severity of the condition), spaced out toavoid unnecessary losses in the urine which happens if it were taken ten grams ata time. If you regularly use the acid form of vitamin C powder, which is thecheapest, be sure to use a straw and dissolve it in water or juice so that the aciddoes not dissolve the enamel on your teeth over time. And this is as good a point as any to mention that just like broccoli is not
broccoli, a vitamin is not necessarily a vitamin. Vitamins are made by chemicaland pharmaceutical companies. To make this confusion even more interesting, thebusiness names that appear on vitamin bottles are not the real manufacturers. Bronson’s Pharmaceuticals is a distributor and marketer, not a manufacturer. Thesame is true of every vitamin company I know of. These companies buy bulkproduct by the barrel or sack; then encapsulate, blend and roll pills, bottle andlabel, advertise and make profit. The point of all this is that some actual vitamin
manufacturers produce very high quality products and others shortcut. Vitamin
distributors must make ethical (or unethical) choices about their suppliers. It is beyond the scope of this book to be a manual for going into the vitamin
business. However, there are big differences in how effective vitamins with thesame chemical name are and the differences hinge on who actually brewed themup. For example, there are at least two quality levels of vitamin C on the market
right now. The pharmaceutical grade is made by Roche or BASF. Another form,it could be called “the bargain barrel brew,” is made in China. Top quality vitaminC is quite a bit more costly; as I write this, the price differential is about 40percent between the cheap stuff and the best. This can make a big difference inbottle price and profit. Most of the discount retail vitamin companies use theChinese product. There’s more than a price difference. The vitamin C from China contains
measurable levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, iron and other toxic metals. TheFDA allows this slightly contaminated product to be sold in the US because theRecommended Daily Allowance for vitamin C is a mere 60 milligrams per day. Taken at that level, the toxic metals would, as the FDA sees it, do no harm. However, many users of vitamin C take 100 to 200 times the RDA. The cheapform of C would expose them to potentially toxic levels of heavy metal poisons. The highly refined top-quality product removes impurities to a virtuallyundetectable level. I buy my C from Bronson who ethically gives me the quality stuff. I know for a
fact that the vitamin C sold by Prolongevity is also top quality. I’ve had clientswho bought cheaper C than Bronson’s and discovered it was not quite likeBronson’s in appearance or taste. More importantly, it did not seem to have thesame therapeutic effect. The distributors I’ve mentioned so far, Bronson, NOW, Cooper, Prolongevity
and Vitamin Research Products are all knowledgeable about differences between
actual manufacturers and are ethical, buying and reselling only high quality
products. Other distributors I believe to be reputable include Twin Labs, Schiffand Plus. I know there are many other distributors with high ethic levels but I cannot evaluate all their product lines. And as I’ve mentioned earlier, businessescome and go rather quickly, but I hope my book will be read for decades. I doknow that I would be very reluctant to buy my vitamins at a discount departmentstore or supermarket; when experimenting with new suppliers I have at timesbeen severely disappointed. Co-enzyme Q-
10. This substance is normally manufactured in the human body
and is also found in minuscule amounts in almost every cell on Earth. For thatreason it is also called “ubiquinone. ” But this vitamin has been only recentlydiscovered, so as I write this book Co-enzyme Q-
10 is not widely known. Q-10 is essential to the functioning of the mitochondria, that part of the cell that
produces energy. With less Q- 10 in heart cells, for example, the heart has less
energy and pumps less. The same is true of the immune system cells, the livercells, every cell. As we age the body is able to make less and less Q-
10,
contributing to the loss of energy frequently experienced with age, as well as thediminished effectiveness of the immune system, and a shortened life span. Q-
10 was first used for its ability to revitalize heart cells. It was a prescription
medicine in Japan. But unlike other drugs used to stimulate the heart, at anyreasonable dose Q-
10 has no harmful side effects. It also tends to give people the
extra pick up they are trying to get out of a cup of coffee. But Q- 10 does so by
improving the function of every cell in the body, not by whipping exhaustedadrenals like caffeine does. Q-
10 is becoming very popular with athletes who
measure their overall cellular output against known standards. Besides acting as a general tonic, when fed to lab animals, Co-Enzyme Q- 10
makes them live 33 to 45 percent longer. DMAE  is another extremely valuable vitamin-like substance that is not widely
known. It is a basic building material that the body uses to make acetylcholine, the
most generalized neurotransmitter in the body. Small quantities of DMAE are
found in fish, but the body usually makes it in a multi-stage synthesis that startswith the amino acid choline, arrives at DMAE at about step number three andends up finally with acetylcholine. The body’s nerves are wrapped in fatty tissue that should be saturated with
acetylcholine. Every time a nerve impulse is transmitted from one nerve cell to thenext, a molecule of acetylcholine is consumed. Thus acetylcholine has to beconstantly replaced. As the body ages, levels of acetylcholine surrounding thenerves drop and in consequence, the nerves begin to deteriorate. DMAE israpidly and easily converted into acetylcholine and helps maintain acetylcholinelevels in older people at a youthful level. When laboratory rats are fed DMAE they solve mazes more rapidly,
remember better, live about 40 percent longer than rats not fed DMAE and mostinterestingly, when autopsied, their nervous systems resemble those of a youngrat, without any evidence of the usual deterioration of aging. Human nervoussystems also deteriorate with age, especially those of people suffering fromsenility. It is highly probable that DMAE will do the same thing to us. DMAE alsosmoothes out mood swings in humans and seems to help my husband, Steve,when he has a big writing project. He can keep working without getting writersblock, fogged out, or emotionally rollercoastering. DMAE is a little hard to find. Prolongevity and VRP sell it in powder form. Since the FDA doesn’t know any MDR and since the product is not capped up,the bottle of powder from Life Extension sagely states that one-quarterteaspoonful contains 333 milligrams. Get the hint. DMAE tastes a little like soursalt and one-quarter teaspoonful dissolves readily in water every morning beforebreakfast, or anytime for that matter. DMAE is also very inexpensive consideringwhat it does. A year’s supply costs about $20. Lecithin  is a highly tonic and inexpensive food supplement that is underutilized
by many people even though it is easily obtainable in healthfood stores. It is an
emulsifier, breaking fats down into small separate particles, keeping blood
cholesterol emulsified to prevent arterial deposits. Taken persistently, lecithinpartially and slowly eliminates existing cholesterol deposits from the circulatorysystem. In our cholesterol-frightened society lecithin should be a far more popular
supplement than it currently is. It is easy to take either as a food in the granularform or when encapsulated. Lecithin granules have very little flavor and can beadded to a homemade vinegar and oil salad dressing, where they emulsify the oiland make it blend with the vinegar, thickening the mixture and causing it to stick tothe salad better. Lecithin can also be put in a fruits smoothie. A scant tablespoona day is sufficient. Try to buy the kind of lecithin that has the highest phosphatidylcholine content because this substance is the second benefit of taking lecithin. Phosphatidyl choline is another precursor used by the body to build acetylcholineand helps maintain the nervous system. Algae. Spirulina or sun dried chlorella are also great food supplements. Both
make many people feel energized, pepped-up. It is possible to fast on eitherproduct and still maintain sufficient energy levels to take of minimal workresponsibilities. Algae reduces appetite and as a dietary supplement can assist inweight loss. It contains large amounts of highly-assimilable protein due to it’s highchlorophyll content, as well as a large amount of beta carotene. It also assists indetoxification of the lymphatic system. It can be purchased as tablets or powder. Take a heaping teaspoon daily, or at least six tablets. Chapter Seven
The Analysis of Disease States:
Helping the Body Recover
From the Hygienic Dictionary
Diagnosis. [1] In the United States, making a diagnosis implies that you are a doctor duly licensed to
engage in diagnostic function. The making of a diagnosis is reserved only for doctors. The term“analysis” does not have such an explicit legal definition. Thus, it is the term of choice of iridologistsand the one most often used by them. It is essential for the survival and promotion of iridology thatthose who choose to engage in its practice avoid naming any disease condition. As we have seen, to doso is to infringe on rights reserved exclusively for doctors and can land the iridologist, sooner or later,in a snarl of legal troubles. It is better for the iridologist to refrain from suggesting to a person that he has any particular
disease, letting such diagnostics remain the province of licensed doctors. In so doing, the iridologistwill avoid transgressing the law and stepping on the toes of those who are legally qualified todiagnose. It is indeed unfortunate that one of the greatest pitfalls awaiting the iridologist is the temptation
to name diseases. The feelings of satisfaction and power resulting from conferring a name are deeplyrooted in the human psyche. For example, the Bible tells us that man’s first task on Earth was to namethe animals, thus giving him power and dominion over them. Strong is the temptation to name diseases because nearly everyone has come to expect that his
malady has a name. Patients have come to expect, and doctors have been trained to make, a diagnosis. “After all,” the patient may reason, “how can you hope to deal with my condition if you aren’tknowledgeable enough to call it by name. ”
It is not necessary to name diseases in order to exercise dominion over them. Dr. Bernard Jensen,
Visions of Health. In self defense, I must make it very clear from the first word that hygienists and
most other naturopaths of various persuasions, and especially I myself, have neverin the past, never. , and do not now, diagnose, treat or offer to cure, disease orillness. Diagnosis and curing are sole, exclusive privileges of certified, duly-licensed medical doctors and may only be done with a grant of Authority to do sofrom the State. Should an unlicensed person diagnose, offer to treat or attempt tocure disease or illness, they will have committed a felonious act. With bigpenalties. Therefore, I do not do it. When one of my clients comes to me and says that a medical doctor says they
have some disease or other, I agree that the medical doctor says they have somedisease or other, and I never dare say that they don’t. Or even confirm on myown authority that I think they do have some disease or other. What I can legally do for a client is to analyze the state of their body and its
organs, looking for weaknesses and apparent allergies. I can lawfully state that Ithink their liver tests weak, the pancreas appears not to be functioning well interms of handling meat digestion, that the kidney is having a hard time of it. I cansay I see a lump sticking out of their body when one is obviously sticking out oftheir body; I can not say that lump is cancerous but I can state that the cells in thatlump test overly strong and that if I myself had a mass of growing cells testingoverly strong and if I believed in the standard medical model, then I would berushing my overly-strong-testing cells to an oncologist. But I don’t dare say theperson has a cancer. Or diabetes. Or is getting close to kidney failure. That is adiagnosis. To me, diagnosis is a form of magic rite in which the physician discovers the
secret name of the devil that is inhabiting one’s body and then, knowing thatsecret name, performs the correct rite and ritual to cast that demon out. I don’tknow why people are made so happy knowing the name of their condition. Doesit really matter. Either the body can heal the condition or it can’t. If it can, you willrecover (especially if you give the body a little help). If the body can’t heal a
condition you will die or live a long time being miserable. No “scientific” medical
magic can do better than that. By describing a disease in terms of its related organ weaknesses, instead of
pinning a Latin name on it, I am able to assist the body to achieve recovery in asuperior way that the physician rarely does. By discovering that the body with thelump of overly strong cells also has a weak spleen, liver and thymus gland, I cantake actions to strengthen the spleen, liver and thymus. If the body can strengthenits spleen, liver and thymus, then the overly strong cells miraculously vanish. But ofcourse what I did did not cure any disease. Any improvements that happen Iassign (correctly) to the body’s own healing power. The way I analyze the organic integrity of the body is through a number of
related methods, including the general appearance of the body, the patient’s healthhistory, various clues such as body and breath odor, skin color and tone, andespecially, biokinesiology, the applied science of muscle testing. Biokinesiologycan be used to test the strength or weakness of specific organs and their function. A weak latissimus dorsi muscle indicates a weak pancreas, for example. Specificacupuncture points can be tested in conjunction with muscle strength to indicatethe condition of specific organs or glands. The strength of the arm’s resistance todownward pressure could be calibrated with a spring scale and precisely gauged,but experienced practitioners have no need for this bother, because they are ableto pick up subtle changes in the arms resistance that are not apparent to thetestee. Thus muscle testing becomes an art form, and becomes as effective as theperson using it is sensitive and aware. Biokinesiology works because every organ and gland in the body is
interconnected with other parts of the body through nerve pathways and nervetransmissions, which are electrical and can be measured through muscle testing. This may seem too esoteric for the “scientific” among you, but acupuncture pointsand energy manifestations around and in the body are now accepted phenomena,their reality demonstrated by special kinds of photography. Acupuncturists, who
heal by manipulating the body’s energy field with metal needles, are now widely
accepted in the western hemisphere. Kinesiology utilizes the same acupuncturepoints (and some others too) for analytic purposes so it is sometimes called“contact reflex analysis. ”
I have studied and used Kinesiology for 25 years with the majority of my
clients with very good success. There are some few people who are very difficultto test because they are either too debilitated, lack electrical conductivity, or theirstate of mind is so skeptical and negative about this type of approach that they putup an impenetrable mental barrier and/or hold their body so rigidly that I canhardly determine a response. A skilled tester can overcome the obstacle of aweak body that can barely respond, but the person who is mentally opposed anddetermined to prove you wrong should not be tested. If you proceed on someonelike this it is sure to have an unsatisfactory outcome for all concerned. For even ifI manage to accurately analyze the condition of a skeptical client, they will neverbelieve the analysis and will not follow suggestions. The “scientific,” open-minded, “reasonable” client can be better approached
using an academic-like discussion based on published literature that demonstrateshow people with similar symptoms and complaints do very well on a particulardietary regimen and supplements. This type of person will sometimes followdietary recommendations to the last letter, because their scientific background hastrained them to be obedient. When a client comes to me, I like to take a real good look at who is sitting in
front of me. I take my leisure to find out all about their history, their complaints,their motivation to change, their experience with natural healing, their level ofpersonal responsibility, whether or not they have to work, whether or not they cantake time out to heal, will they fast or take supplements, do they have sufficientfinances to carry a program through to a successful completion, do they havepeople closely connected to them that are strongly opposed to alternativeapproaches, can they withstand some discomfort and self-denial, do they have
toxic relationships with other people that are contributing to their condition, are
they willing to read and educate themselves in greater depth about natural healing,etc. I need to know the answers to these questions in order to help them choose aprogram which is most likely to succeed. Even though fasting is the most effective method I know of, it is not for people
who are compelled to keep up a work schedule, nor is it for people who are veryill and do not have anyone to assist them and supervise them. Nor is it for peoplewho do not understand fasting and are afraid of it. People who have associatesthat are opposed to it, and people who do not have a strongly-functioning liver orkidneys should not casually start water fasting either. Seriously ill people that havebeen on a meat-heavy diet with lots of addicting substances need a long runwayinto a fast so as to not overwhelm their organs of elimination. Does the person infront of me have an eating disorder, or an otherwise suicidal approach to fasting,etc. Clearly fasting is not for everyone, and if I recommend it to the wrongperson, the result will be a bad reputation for a marvelous tool. Given that many clients can not fast without a lot of preparation, the majority
of my clients start out with a gentle detox program that takes considerably moretime, but works. These gradients have been outlined under the healing programsfor the chronically ill, acutely ill, etc. To help rebuild poorly functioning organs, I sometimes use a specialized group
of food supplements called protomorphogens. These are not readily available tothe general public and perhaps should not be casually purchasable like vitamins,because, as with many prescription drugs, supervision is usually necessary fortheir successful use. If the FDA ever succeeds at making protomorphogensunavailable to me, I could still have very good results. (At this time the Canadianauthorities do not allow importation of protomorphogens for resale, thoughindividuals can usually clear small shipments through Canada Customs if for theirown personal use. ) But protomorphogens do facilitate healing and sometimespermit healing to occur at a lower gradient of handling. Without them a body
might have to fast to heal, with the aid of protomorphogens a person might be
able to get better without fasting. And if protomorphogens are used (chewedup—ugh. ) while fasting, healing is accelerated. Protomorphogens are made from freeze-dried, organically-raised animal organ
meats (usually calf or lamb) combined with very specific vitamins, herbs and otherco-factors to potentiate the effect. I view protomorphogens as containingnutritional supplementation specific for the rebuilding of the damaged organ. Doctor Royal Lee, a medical genius who developed protomorphogens therapy
in the 50s and who spent several stints in prison in exchange for his benevolenceand concern for human well-being, also founded the company that has suppliedme with protomorphogens. After decades of official persecution and denial of theefficacy of protomorphogens by the power structure, it looks like they are aboutto finally have their day. As I write this book cutting-edge medical researchcompanies are developing therapies using concentrated animal proteins(protomorphogens) to treat arthritis, multiple sclerosis, eye inflammations andjuvenile diabetes. The researchers talk as though they are highly praiseworthy for“discovering” this approach. Unfortunately, this development is likely to cut two ways. On one hand, it
vindicates Dr. Lee; on the other, when these drug companies find a way to patenttheir materials, they may finally succeed at forcing protomorphogens (currentlyquite inexpensive) off the non-prescription market and into the restricted andprofitable province of the MD. I divide clients into two basic types: simple cases and complex ones. When I
was treating mental illness, occasionally I had a client who had not been sick fortoo long. I could usually make this client well quite easily. But if the person hadalready become institutionalized, had been psychotic for many years, hadreceived much prior treatment, then their case had been made much moredifficult. This sort had a poor prognosis. A very similar situation exists withphysical illnesses. Many people get sick only because they lack information about
how to keep themselves healthy and about what made them sick. Once they find
out the truth, they take my medicine without complaint and almost inevitably getbetter very rapidly. Some of these people can be quite ill when they first come tome but usually they have not been sick for very long. Their intention when cominginto my office is very positive and have no counter intentions to getting better. There are no spiritual or psychological reasons that they deserve to be sick. If thisperson had not found me, they almost certainly would have found some otherpractitioner who would have made them well. This type of person honestly feelsthey are entitled to wellness. And they are. However, some of the sick are not sick for lack of life-style information; they
suffer from a mental/spiritual malady as well, one that inevitably preceded theirillness by many years. In fact, their physical ailments are merely reflections ofunderlying problems. This patient’s life is usually a snarl of upsets, problems, andguilty secrets. Their key relationships are usually vicious or unhealthy. Their levelof interpersonal honesty may be poor. There are usually many things about theirlives they do not confront and so, can not change. With this type of case, all thephysical healing in the world will not make them permanently better because themental and emotional stresses they live under serve as a constant source ofenervation. Cases like this usually do not have only one thing wrong with them. They
almost always have been sick for a long time; most have been what I call “doctorhoppers,” confused by contrary diagnoses and conflicting MD opinions. When Iget a case like this I know from the first that healing is going to be a long process,and a dubious one at that. On the physical level, their body will only repair oneaspect of their multiple illnesses at a time. Simultaneously, they must be urged toconfront their life on a gentle gradient. There is usually a lot of backsliding androllercoastering. The detoxification process, physical and psychological, can takeseveral years and must happen on all the levels of their life. This kind of case seesonly gradual improvement interspersed with periods of worsening that indicatethere remains yet another level of mental unawareness that has to be unraveled. Few medical doctors or holistic therapists really understand or can help this
kind of case. To do so, the doctor has to be in touch with their own reactive mindand their own negative, evil impulses (which virtually all humans have). Fewpeople, including therapists, are willing to be aware of their own dark side. Butwhen we deny it in ourselves, we must pretend it doesn’t exist in others, andbecome its victim instead of conquering it. Anyone who denies that they have orare influenced by their own darker aspects who seem to be totally sweet andlight, is lying; proof of this is that they still are here on Earth. All this generalizing about diagnostic methods and clinical approaches could go
on for chapters and more chapters, and writing them would be fine if I wereteaching a group of health clinicians that were reading this book to become betterpractitioners. But I’m sure most of my readers are far more interested in somecomplaint of their own or in the health problem of a loved one, and are intenselyinterested in one might go about handling various conditions and complaints, whattypes of organ weaknesses are typically associated with them, and whatapproaches I usually recommend to encourage healing. And, most importantly,what kind of success or lack of it have I had over the past twenty five years,encouraging the healing of various conditions with hygienic methods. In the case studies that follow I will mostly report the simpler, easier-to-fix
problems because that is what most people have; still, many of these involve life-threatening or quality-of-life-destroying illnesses. I will tell the success story ofone very complicated, long-suffering case that involved multiple levels ofpsychological and spiritual handling as well as considerable physical healing. Arthritis
Some years back my 70 years old mother came from the family homestead in
the wilds of northern British Columbia to visit me at the Great Oaks School. Shehad gotten into pathetic physical condition. Fifteen years previously she hadremarried. Tom, her new husband, had been a gold prospector and general
mountain man, a wonderfully independent and cantankerous cuss, a great hunter
and wood chopper and all around good-natured backwoods homesteadhandyman. Tom had tired of solitary log cabin life and to solve his problem hadtaken on the care and feeding of a needy widow, my mom. He began doing thecooking and menu planning. Tom, a little older than my mother, had no senseabout eating but could still shoot game. Ever since their marriage she had beenliving on moose meat stews with potatoes and gravy, white flour bread with jam,black tea with canned milk, a ritual glass of brandy at bedtime, and almost nofresh fruit or vegetables. In her youth, my mother had been a concert pianist; now she had such large
arthritic knobs on all of her knuckles that her hands had become claws. Thoughthere was still that very same fine upright in the cabin that I had learned to play asa child, she had long since given up the piano. Her knees also had large arthriticknobs; this proud woman with a straight back and long, flowing strides was bentover, limping along with a cane. She was also 30 pounds overweight and herblood pressure was a very dangerous 210 over 140, just asking for a stroke. Instead of a welcoming feast, the usual greeting offered to a loved one who
has not been seen for a few years, I immediately started her on a juice fast. I gaveher freshly prepared carrot juice (one quart daily) mixed with wheat grass juice(three ounces daily) plus daily colonics. She had no previous experience withthese techniques but she gamely accepted everything I threw her way because sheknew I was doing it because I loved her and wanted to see her in bettercondition. She also received a daily full body massage with particular attention tothe hand and knees, stimulating the circulation to the area and speeding theremoval of wastes. Every night her hands and knees were wrapped in warmcastor oil compresses held in place with old sheeting. I did not use any vitamins or food supplements in her case. I did give her
flavorful herbal teas made of peppermint and chamomile because she needed thecomfort of a hot cupa; but these teas were in no way medicinal except for hermorale. After three weeks on this program, Grannybelle, as I and my daughters called
her, had no unsightly knobs remaining on either her knuckles or knees and shecould walk and move her fingers without pain within a normal range of movement. The big payoff for me besides seeing her look so wonderful (20 years youngerand 20 pounds lighter) was to hear her sit down and treat us to a Beethovenrecital. And her blood pressure was 130 over 90. Breast Cancer
I have worked with many young women with breast cancer; so many in fact,
that their faces and cases tend to blur. But whenever I think about them, Kellyinevitably comes to mind because we became such good friends. Like me, Kellywas an independent-minded back country Canuck. At the age 26, she received amedical diagnosis of breast cancer. Kelly had already permitted a lumpectomyand biopsy, but had studied the statistical outcomes and did not want to treat herillness with radical mastectomy, radiation and chemotherapy because she knewher odds of long-term survival without radical medical treatment were equal to orbetter than allowing the doctors to do everything possible. Nor did she want tolose even one of her breasts. She knew how useful her breasts were because shehad already suckled one child, not to mention their contribution to one’s own self-image as a whole person. I admired Kelly’s unusual independent-mindednessbecause she comes from a country where universal health coverage is in place;her insurance would have paid all the costs had she been willing to acceptconventional medicine, but Canadian national health insurance does not coveralternative therapy. Kelly stayed with me for nearly two months as a residential faster, because she
needed to be far from the distractions of a troubled family life. With financialsupport from her parents and child-care from her friends she was able to taketime out to give the recovery of health top priority in her life without worryingabout whether her small son was being well cared for. This peace of mind wasalso very important to her recovery. Analysis with biokinesiology showed a pervasively weak immune system,
including a weak thymus gland, spleen, and an overloaded lymphatic system. Herliver was weak, but not as weak as it might have been, because she had becomea vegetarian, and had been working on her health in a haphazard fashion for a fewyears. Kelly’s body also showed weaknesses in pancreatic and adrenal functionas well as a toxic colon. Most immediately worrisome to her, biokinesiologytesting showed several over-strong testing lumpy areas in the breasts and over-strong testing lumpy lymph nodes in the armpits. Cancerous tumors always testoverly strong
Kelly’s earlier life-style had contributed to her condition in several ways. She
had worked for years in a forestry tree nursery handling seedling trees treatedwith highly toxic chemicals. She had worked as a cook in a logging camp forseveral seasons, eating too much meat and greasy food. And she had also spentthe usual number of adolescent and young adult years deeply involved inrecreational drug use and the bad diet that went with it. Kelly started right in on a rigorous water fast that lasted for one entire month. She had a colonic every day, plus body work including reflexology, holding andmassage of neurolymphatic and neurovascular points, and stimulation ofacupuncture points related to weak organ systems and general massage tostimulate overall circulation and lymphatic drainage. She took protomorphogensto help rebuild her weakened organs; she took ten grams of vitamin C every dayand a half-dose of Life Extension vitamin mix in assimilable powdered form; shedrank herbal teas of echinacea and fenugreek seeds and several ounces of freshlysqueezed wheat grass juice every day. Twice each day she made poultices out ofclay and the pulp left over from making her wheat grass juice, filled an old brawith this mixture and pressed it to her breast for several hours until the clay dried. Shortly, I will explain all the measures in some detail. These physical therapies were accompanied by counseling sessions dealing
with some severe and long-unresolved problems, response patterns and
relationships that triggered her present illness. Her son’s father (Kelly’s ex) was
suppressive and highly intimidating. Fearful of him, Kelly seemed unable tosuccessfully extricate herself from the relationship due to the ongoing contactwhich revolved over visitation and care of their son. But Kelly had grit. Whilefasting, she confronted these tough issues in her life and unflinchingly made thenecessary decisions. When she returned to Canada she absolutely decided,without any nagging doubts, reservations or qualifications, to make any changesnecessary to ensure her survival. Only after having made these hard choices couldshe heal. I one respect, Kelly was a highly unusual faster. Throughout the entire month
on water, Kelly took daily long walks, frequently stopping to lie down and rest inthe sun on the way. She would climb to or from the top of a very large and steephill nearby. She never missed a day, rain or shine. At the end of her month on water Kelly’s remaining breast lumps had
disappeared, the lymphatic system and immune system tested strong, as well asthe liver, pancreas, adrenals, and large intestine. No areas tested overly strong. She broke the fast with the same discipline she had conducted it, on carrot
juice, a cup every two hours. After three days on juice she began a raw food dietwith small servings of greens and sprouts well chewed, interspersed at two hourintervals with fresh juicy fruits. After about ten days on “rabbit food,” she easedinto avocados, cooked vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains and then wenthome. As I write this, it is eight years since Kelly’s long fast. She still comes to see
me every few years to check out her diet and just say hello. She has had twomore children by a new, and thoroughly wonderful husband and suckled themboth for two years each; her peaceful rural life centers around this new, happyfamily and the big, Organic garden she grows. She religiously takes her LifeExtension vitamins and keeps her dietary and life-style indiscretions small andinfrequent. She is probably going to live a long, time. I consider Kelly’s cluster of organ weaknesses very typical of all cancers
regardless of type or location, as well as being typical of AIDS and other criticalinfections by organisms that usually reside in the human body without causingtrouble (called “opportunistic”). All these diseases are varieties of immune systemfailure. All of these conditions present a similar pattern of immune systemweaknesses. They all center around what I call the “deadly triangle,” comprisedof a weak thymus gland, weak spleen, and a weak liver. The thymus and spleenform the core of the body’s immune system. The weak liver contributes to a highlytoxic system that further weakens the immune system. To top it off, people withcancer invariably have a poor ability to digest cooked protein (animal orvegetable) (usually from a weak pancreas unable to make enough digestiveenzymes) and eat too much of it, giving them a very toxic colon, and anoverloaded lymphatic system. Whenever I analyze someone with this pattern, especially the entire deadly
triangle, I let the person know that if I had those particular weaknesses I wouldconsider my survival to be at immediate risk I’d consider it an emergency situationdemanding vigorous attention. It does not matter if they don’t yet have a tumor, orfibroid, or opportunistic infection; if they don’t already have something of thatnature they soon will. Here’s yet another example of why I disapprove of diagnosis. By giving the
condition a name like “lymphoma” or “melanoma”, “chronic fatigue syndrome”“Epstein-Barr syndrome” or “AIDS,” “systemic yeast infection”, “hepatitis” orwhat have, people think the doctor then understands their disease. But the doctorrarely understands that all these seemingly different diseases are essentially thesame disease—a toxic body with a dysfunctional immune system. What isrelevant is that a person with the deadly triangle must strengthen their immunesystem, and their pancreas, and their liver, and detoxify their body immediately. Ifthese repairs are accomplished in time, the condition goes away, whatever itsLatin name may have been. Now, about some of the adjuncts to Kelly’s healing. Let me stress here that
had none of these substances or practices been used, she probably still wouldhave recovered. Perhaps a bit more slowly. Perhaps a bit less comfortably. Conversely, had Kelly treated her cancer with every herb, poultice and vitaminknown to man but had neglected fasting and colonics, she might well have died. Ithas been wisely said that intelligence may be defined as the ability to correctlydetermine differences, similarities, and importances. I want my readers to beintelligent about understanding the relative importances of different hygienictreatment and useful supporting practices. Echinacea and chaparral leaves, red clover flowers, and fenugreek seeds are
made into medicinal teas that I find very helpful in detoxification programs,because they all are aggressive blood or lymph cleansers and boost the immuneresponse. These same teas can be used to help the body throw off a cold, flu, orother acute illness but they have a much more powerful effect on a fasting bodythan on one that is eating. Echinacea and chaparral are extraordinarily bitter andmay be better accepted if ground up and encapsulated, or mixed with other teaswith pleasant flavors such as peppermint or lemon grass. These teas should besimmered until they are at the strongest concentration palatable, drinking three orfour cups of this concentrate a day. If you use echinacea, then chaparral probablyisn’t necessary and visa versa. Red clover is another blood cleanser, perhaps alittle less effective but it has a pleasant, sweet taste and may be better acceptedby the squeamish. If there is lymphatic congestion I always include fenugreek seed tea brewed at
the strength of approximately one tablespoon of seeds to a quart of water. Expectthe tea to be brown, thick and mucilaginous, with a reasonably pleasant tastereminiscent of maple syrup. Kelly used poultices of clay and wheat grass pulp on her lumps, somewhat like
the warm castor oil poultices I used on my mother’s arthritic deposits. Poulticesnot only feel very comforting, but they have the effect of softening up deposits and
tumors so that a detoxifying, fasting body is more able to re absorb them. Poultices draw, pulling toxins out through the skin, unburdening the liver. Clay(freshly-mixed potters clay I purchase from a potters’ guild), mixed with finelychopped or blended young wheat grass (in emergencies I’ve even used lawngrasses) makes excellent drawing poultices. Without clay, I’ve also usedvegetable poultices made of chopped or blended comfrey leaves, comfrey root,slightly cooked (barely wilted) cabbage leaves, slightly steamed onion or garlic(cooked just enough to soften it). These are very effective to soften tumors,abscesses and ulcers. Aloe poultices are good on burns. Poultices should bethought of as helpful adjuncts to other, more powerful healing techniques and notas remedies all by themselves, except for minor skin problems. Poultices, to be effective, need to be troweled on half an inch thick, extending
far beyond the effected area, covered with cheese cloth or rags torn from oldcotton sheets so they don’t dry out too fast. Fresh poultices needs to be appliedseveral times daily. They also need to be left on the body until they do dry. Thenpoultices are thrown away, to be followed by another as often as patience willallow. Do not cover poultices tightly with plastic because if they don’t dry out theywon’t draw much. The drawing is in the drying. Sometimes poultices cause a tumor or deposit to be expelled through the skin
rather than being adsorbed, all this drama with rather spectacular pus and gore. This phenomena is actually beneficial and should be welcomed because anytimethe body can push toxins out through the skin, the burden on the organs ofelimination are lessened. Wheat grass juice has a powerful anti-tumor effect, is very perishable, is
laborious to make, but is worth the effort because it contains powerful enzymesand nutrients that help detoxify and heal when taken internally or applied to theskin. As a last resort with dying patients who can no longer digest anything takenby mouth I’ve implanted wheat grass juice rectally (in a cleansed colon). Some ofthem haven’t died. You probably can’t buy wheat grass juice that retains much
medicinal effect because it needs to be very fresh and should be drunk within
minutes of squeezing. Chilled sharply and immediately after squeezing it mightmaintain some potency for an hour or two. Extracting juice from grass takes aspecial press that resembles a meat grinder. The wheat is grown in transplant or seedling trays in bright light. I know
someone who uses old plastic cafeteria trays for this. The seed is soakedovernight, spread densely atop a tray, covered shallowly with fine soil, kept moistbut not soggy. When the grass is about four inches high, begin harvesting bycutting off the leaves with a scissors and juicing them. If the tray contains severalinches of soil you usually get a second cutting of leaves. You need to start a newtray every few days; one tray can be cut for three or four days. (Kulvinskas,1975)
More wheat grass juice is not better than just enough; three ounces a day is
plenty. It is a very powerful substance. The flavor of wheat grass juice is sointense that some people have to mix it with carrot juice to get it down. DO NOTOVERUSE. The energizing effects of wheat grass can be so powerful that somepeople make a regular practice of drinking it. However, I’ve seen many peoplewho use wheat grass juice as a tonic become allergic to it much as antibioticdependent people do to antibiotics. Better to save wheat grass for emergencies. I also have treated my own breast cancers—twice. The first time I was only
23 years old. One night I noticed that it hurt to sleep the way I usually did on myleft side because there was a hard lump in my left breast. It was quite large—about the size of a goose egg. Having just completed RN training two years prior,I had been well brain washed about my poor prognosis and knew exactly whatrequisite actions must taken. I scheduled a biopsy under anesthetic, so that if the tumor was malignant they
could proceed to full mastectomy without delay. I was ignorant of any alternativecourse of action at the time. I might add that before I grew my first tumor I had been consuming large
amounts of red meat in a mistaken understanding gained in nursing school that agood diet contained large amounts of animal protein. In addition to the stress ofbeing a full time psychology graduate student existing on a very low budget, I wasexperiencing I very frustrating relationship with a young man that left meconstantly off center and confused. A biopsy was promptly performed. The university hospital’s SOP required
that three pathologists make an independent decision about the nature of a tumorbefore proceeding with radical surgery. Two of the pathologist agreed that mytumor was malignant, which represented the required majority vote. But thesurgeon removed only the lump, which he said was well encapsulated and forsome reason did not proceed with a radical mastectomy. These days manysurgeons routinely limit themselves to lumpectomies. I never did find out why I awakened from general anesthetic with two breasts,
but I have since supposed that due to my tender age the surgeon was reluctant todisfigure me without at least asking me for permission, or giving me some time toprepare psychologically. When I came out of anesthesia he told me that the lumpwas malignant, and that he had removed it, and that he needed to do a radicalmastectomy to improve my prognosis over the next few years. He asked me tothink it over, but he signed me up on his surgery list for the following Monday. I did think it over and found I was profoundly annoyed at the idea of being
treated like I was just a statistic, so I decided that I would be unique. I made afirm decision that I would be well and stay well—and I was for the next fifteenyears. The decision healed me. When I was 37 I had a recurrence. At the time I had in residence Ethyl and
Marge, the two far-gone breast cancer cases I already told you about. I also hadin residence a young woman with a breast tumor who had not undergone anymedical treatment, not even a lumpectomy. (I will relate her case in detail shortly. )I was too identified emotionally with helping these three, overly-empathetic due to
my own history. I found myself taking on their symptoms and their pain. I went so
far into sympathy as to grow back my tumor—just as it had the first time—a lumpmushroomed from nothing to the size of a goose egg in only three weeks inexactly the same place as the first one. Just out of curiosity I went in for a needlebiopsy. Once again it was judged to be malignant, and I got the same pressurefrom the surgeon for immediate surgery. This time, however, I had an alternativesystem of healing that I believed in. So I went home, continued to care for myvery sick residents, and began to work on myself. The first thing I had to confront about myself was that I was being a
compassionate fool. I needed to learn how to maintain my own personalboundaries, and clearly delineate what stuff in my mind and my body was reallymine and what was another’s. I needed to apply certain mental techniques of self-protection known to and practiced by many healers. I knew beyond doubt that Ihad developed sympathetic breast cancer because a similar phenomena hadhappened to me before. Once, when I had previously been working on a personwith very severe back pain with hands-on techniques, I suddenly had the pain,and the client was totally free of it. So I protected myself when working with sickpeople. I would wash my hands and arms thoroughly with cold water, or withwater and vinegar after contact. I would shake off their “energy,” have a coldshower, walk bare foot on the grass, and visualize myself well with intactboundaries. These prophylaxes had been working for me, but I was particularlyvulnerable to people with breast cancer. I also began detoxification dieting, took more supplements, and used
acupressure and reflexology as my main lines of attack. My healing diet consistedof raw food exclusively. I allowed myself fruits (not sweet fruits) and vegetables(including a lot of raw cabbage because vegetables in the cabbage family such ascauliflower and broccoli are known to have a healing effect on cancer), rawalmonds, raw apricot kernels, and some sprouted grains and legumes. I drankdiluted carrot juice, and a chlorophyll drink made up of wheat grass and barley
green and aloe vera juice. I took echinaechia, red clover, and fenugreek seeds. I
worked all the acupuncture points on my body that strengthen the immune system,including the thymus gland, lymph nodes, and spleen. I also worked the meridians,and reflex points for the liver, and large intestine. I massaged the breast along thenatural lines of lymphatic drainage from the area. Last, and of great importance, I KNEW that the treatment would work, and
that the tumor would quickly disappear. It did vanish totally in three months. Itwould have gone away quicker if I had water fasted, but I was unable to do thisbecause I needed physical strength to care for my resident patients and family. Eighteen years have passed since that episode, and I have had no further
reappearance of breast tumors. At age 55 I still have all my body parts, and havehad no surgery except the original lumpectomy. Many, viewing my muscles andathletic performance, would say my health is exceptional but I know my ownfrailties and make sure I do not aggravate them. I still have exactly the same organdeficiencies as other cancer patients and must keep a very short leash on mylifestyle. If for some reason I wanted to make my life very short, all I would have to do
would be to abandon my diet, stop taking supplements, eat red meat and icecream every day and be unhappy about something. Incidentally, I have had manyresidential clients with breast cancer since then, and have not taken on theirsymptoms, so I can assume that I have safely passed that hurdle. I’ve helped dozens of cases of simple breast cancer where my treatment
began before the cancer broadly spread. Kelly’s case was not the easiest of thisgroup, nor the hardest. Sometimes there was lymphatic involvement that themedical doctors had not yet treated in any way. All but one of my early-onsetbreast cancer cases recovered. I believe those are far better results than achievedby AMA treatment. Before I crow too much, let me stress that every one of these women was a
good candidate for recovery—under 40 years old, ambulatory and did not feel
very sick. And most importantly, every one of them had received no other
debilitating medical treatment except a needle biopsy or simple lumpectomy. None of these women had old tumors (known about for more than six months)and none of the tumors were enormous (nothing larger than a walnut). Clearly, this group is not representative of the average breast cancer case. Hygienic therapy for cancer is a radical idea these days and tends to attractyounger people, or older, desperate people who have already been through theworks. In every one of my simple cases the tumors were reabsorbed by the bodyduring the thirty days of water fasting and the client left happy. Except one. I think I should describe this unsuccessful case, this “dirty case,”
so my readers get a more balanced idea of how fearsome cancer really isn’t if thesick person can clearly resolve to get better and has no problem about achievingwellness. Marie was an artisan and musician from Seattle who grew up back East in an
upper-middle class dysfunctional family. She was in her late twenties. She hadbeen sexually abused by an older brother, was highly reactive, and had neverbeen able to communicate honestly with anyone except her lesbian lover(honestly. , maybe, about some things). Three years prior to coming to see me Marie had been medically diagnosed as
having breast cancer and had been advised to have immediate surgery. Sheignored this advice; Marie never told her friends, said nothing to her family andtried to conceal it from her lover because she did not want to disrupt their life. On her own she did begin eating a Macrobiotic diet. In spite of this diet, the
tumor grew, but grew very slowly. After two years the tumor was discovered byher lover, who after a year of exhausting and upsetting arguments, forced Marie toseek treatment. Since Marie adamantly refused to go the conventional medicalroute, she ended up on my doorstep as a compromise. By this time the tumor was the size of a fist and had broken through the skin of
the left breast. It was very ugly, very hard. Biokinesiology showed the usual
deadly triangle and other associated organ weakneses typical of cancer. Marie
began fasting on water with colonics and poultices and bodywork and counselingand supplements. At the end of the water fast, Marie looked much healthier, withclear eyes and clear skin and had a sort of shine about her, but the tumor had onlyreceded enough for the skin to close over it; it was still large, and very hard. Tofully heal, Marie probably needed at least two more water fasts of equal lengthinterspersed with a few months on a raw food diet. But she lacked the personaltoughness to confront another fast in the near future. Nor was she emotionally upto what she regarded as the deprivation of a long-term raw foods healing diet. So I advised her to seek other treatment. Still unwilling to accept standard
medical management of her case, Marie chose to go to the Philippines to have“psychic surgery. ” She was excited and optimistic about this; I was interestedmyself because I was dubious about this magical procedure; if Marie went Iwould have a chance to see the results (if any) on a person I was very familiarwith. Marie had her tickets and was due to leave in days when her lover, againstMarie’s directly-stated wishes, called her parents and informed them of what washappening. The parents had known nothing of Marie’s cancer and were shocked, upset,
outraged. They had not known Marie was a lesbian, much less that their daughterwas flirting with (from their view) obvious quackery. Their daughter neededimmediate saving and her parents and brother (the one who had abused her) flewto Oregon and surprisingly appeared the next day in a state of violent rage. Theythreatened lawsuits, police, incarceration, they threatened to have their daughtercivilly committed as unable to take care of herself. They thought everything Mariehad done for the last three years was my fault. I was lucky to stay out of jail. Ofcourse, all of this was why Marie had not told them in the first place; she hadwanted to avoid this kind of a scene. Marie did not have enough personal integrity to withstand the domination of
her immediate family. They put her in a hospital, where Marie had a radical
mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation. Assured that they had done everything
that should have been done, the self-righteous parents went back home. Marienever recovered from chemotherapy and radiation. She died in the hospitalsurrounded by her lesbian friends who took dedicated, ever-so-sympathetic turnsmaintaining an emotional round-the-clock vigil. Marie’s death was partly my fault. She was an early case of mine. At the time I
did not yet understand the total effect of lack of ethics and irresponsibility onillness. Had Marie really wanted to live in the first place, she would have soughttreatment three years earlier. In our counseling sessions she always evaded thisquestion and I had not been wise enough to pin her down with my knee on herchest and make her answer up. Marie had too many secrets from everybody andwas never fully honest in any of her relationships, including with me. I think sheonly came to Great Oaks at her lover’s insistence and to the day she died wastrying to pretend that nothing was wrong. All Marie really wanted from her life was to be loved and have a lot of loving
attention. In the end, her dramatic death scene gave her that, which is probablywhy she manifested cancer and kept it and eventually, died from it. The name for this game is “secondary gain. ” A lot of sick people are playing it. Their illness lets them win their deepest desire; they get love, attention, revenge,sympathy, complete service, pampering, create guilt in others. When sick peoplereceive too much secondary gain they never get well. One of the hardest things about being a healer is that one accumulates an ever-
enlarging series of dirty, failed cases like this one. It is depressing and makes aperson want to quit doctoring. Whenever I get involved with a case I really wantthem to get better. My life is put entirely out of joint for several months dealingwith a residential faster. My schedule is disrupted; my family life suffers; mypersonal health suffers. No amount of mere money could pay for this. And thensome of these people go and waste all my help to accomplish some discreditablesecret agenda that they have never really admitted to themselves or others. Constant Complaints
Alice was a middle-aged woman who couldn’t understand why she had
always felt tired, even when she was young. Her life had been this way ever sinceshe could remember. Most puzzling to her was why her life was so Book-Of-Joblike. She did everything the proper way. Doing things correctly was important toher, and fitted her Puritan background. Alice supported all the right causes, didgood works, was active in a Unitarian church and bought all her food at thehealthfood store—and made sure it was organically grown. But in spite of Alice’s righteous living, her existence was a treadmill of
constant, minor complaints. She was constantly exhausted, so much so she haddifficulty getting up in the morning and feared she might have chronic fatiguesyndrome (whatever that is). Alice suffered bouts of depression over thoughts likethese, and had many acute illnesses like colds that hung on interminably andwould not go away. She had a constant post-nasal drip. Though she enjoyed life,her body was a millstone around her neck. I’ve had a lot of clients exactly like Alice. Sometimes they complain of
headaches; sometimes constant yeast or bladder infections. Whatever thecomplaints, the symptoms are rarely severe enough to classify themselves assomeone who is seriously ill, but their symptoms rarely go away and they almostnever feel good. Medical doctors rarely find anything wrong with them, thoughthey will frequently prescribe an antibiotic to treat a somewhat constant infection,or an antihistamine for sinus symptoms. Getting a new prescription drug makesthe complaint go away for a short time until their resistance is lowered again andthe very same complaint returns. These people frequently depend on over thecounter pills and are routinely prescribed sleeping remedies and antidepressants. If instead of this route they will but take my medicine they are usually easy to fixand afterwards are amazed that it was all that simple and that so much of their lifehas been less than it could have been. Alice had been through the medical doctor route. She had become quite
familiar with antibiotics for her colds and flu, and also took synthetic thyroidhormone—the doctor had diagnosed her fatigue as being caused by anunderactive thyroid, which was partly correct—but the thyroid medication didn’tgive her much more energy. Alice had been supporting this medical doctor ingrand style for over thirty years but never obtained the relief she sought. I put Alice through my usual two hour first-time-visit thorough analysis. For
two weeks before coming to see me she had saved tiny samples of everything sheate, wrapped them in plastic film, carefully labeled, and put them in the freezer. Along with these food samples and a typed list of all these foods, she brought abig box full of her condiments, herb teas, vitamins, spices, prescriptionmedications, over the counter drugs, oils, grains, breads, crackers and smallsamples of her usual fresh vegetables and fruits. Even her water. Her entirekitchen. By biokinesiology we proceeded to test all of her foods for allergicreactions. I also tested the integrity of her organs and glands and in the process,got a detailed medical history and list of her complaints. Alice had exhausted adrenals, and they probably had been that way for thirty
years. Her pancreas was now too weak to digest the legumes that made up alarge part of her vegetarian diet. She was allergic to wheat, soy, and dairyproducts and had especially been eating dairy in the mistaken notion that it wasnecessary to keep up her protein intake. Really very typical. So many health foodstore shoppers these days mistakenly believe that, because they are vegetarianand do not eat meat, they especially need to boost their protein intake with dairyand soy. Unfortunately, so many North Americans are highly allergic to dairy andunfortunately, soy products are as hard or harder to digest than cooked meats. Alice was especially shocked to discover that she was allergic to such foods
as cabbage family vegetables, alfalfa sprouts and citrus. Most people don’t thinkthat anyone could be allergic to something as healthy as alfalfa sprouts. Thedoctor was right about one thing; her thyroid was underperforming. He had notnoticed that her heart was weak. Medical doctors rarely discover an organ weakness until that organ actually
begins to catastrophically fail. A busy honest doctor will usually tell thecomplaining patient there is nothing wrong with them: go home, take two aspirin,accept the fact that your body is not perfect and don’t worry about it. A hungrydoctor will be delighted to perform countless lab tests, seeking any possiblereason for the complaint. This can go on as long as the patient has money or aslong as the insurance company will pay. They rarely find anything “wrong” and thepatient is far better off if the doctor doesn’t discover something “serious” to treatbecause their treatment may carry with it consequences far more severe than thecomplaint. For example, I have seen dozens of people whose lives were virtuallyruined after surgical treatment for chronic back pain. Biokinesiology is actually a far more sensitive system of analysis than lab tests. It picks up weaknesses at a very early stage so total organ failure can beprevented. Rarely will any of the organ weaknesses I discover be confirmed by amedical doctor. First I put Alice on a six week cleanse. She did one week onfresh, raw food; one week on dilute carrot juice with some green leafy vegetablesjuice too; one week on water fasting; and then she repeated the series. After sixweeks of detoxification, I gave Alice a Life Extension megavitamin formula,discovered she could not handle the acid form of vitamin C (that she had alreadybeen taking) and had her start on protomorphogens to rebuild her weakenedendocrine system, her exhausted adrenals and weak pancreas. She also begantaking pancreatic enzymes when she ate vegetable protein. She was put on amaintenance diet that eliminated foods she was allergic to; the diet primarilyconsisted of whole grains, nuts, cooked and raw vegetables, and raw fruits. Onher maintenance diet Alice had a profound resurgence of energy and rediscovereda sense of well-being she had not known for decades. She began to feel like shehad when she was a child. Her constant sinus drip was gone. She was able tostop taking synthetic thyroid hormones and instead, supported her endocrinesystem with protomorphogens. A Rampaging Infection
At the age of 40, John, an old bohemian client of mine, came into a moderate
inheritance and went “native” in the Fiji Islands in the South Pacific. He spentabout four months hanging out with the locals. Life there was so much fun thatJohn completely forgot that his body was actually rather delicate, that many of hisorgans were weak, and that to feel good, he had to live a fairly simon-pure life. But the jovial, accepting, devil-may-care Fijians enjoyed a constant party,
even more so because John’s money allowed the Fijians to manifest powerful,tropical, home-grown strains of recreational herbs to smoke in abundance, beerand rum and worse, the Fijians (and John) constantly used a very toxic thoughonly mildly-euphoric narcotic called kava, something Europeans usually have nogenetic resistance to. The Fijians (and John) also ate a lot of freshly-caught fishfried in grease, well-salted, and huge, brain-numbing bowls of greasy starches,foods that they call i’coi, or “real food” as opposed to things like fruit and
vegetables that aren’t real food because they don’t knock you to the floor forhours trying to digest them in a somnambulant doze. John miraculously kept up with this party for a few months and then, while
scuba diving, got some small coral scratches on his leg. These got infected. Theinfections got worse. Soon he had several huge, suppurating, ulcerous sores onhis legs and worse, the infections became systemic and began spreading rapidly. He was running a fever and was in considerable pain. So John booked anemergency ticket home and fled to find Doctor Isabelle. When I met his plane hewas rolled out in a wheelchair, unable to walk because of painfully swollen legs. Section summary:

Summary Part B

To attain optimal results, administering C.
The purpose of the test is to determine the maximum dose of vitamin C that the body can process, which is essential for achieving the highest level of saturation in the bloodstream.
What is the purpose of a bowel tolerance test for vitamin C?
The acid form of vitamin C is not tolerable beyond 8-10 grams a day, but the alkaline (buffered) form allows for a higher dose without discomfort.
What is the difference between the alkaline and acid forms of vitamin C?
Protomorphogens are used to rebuild weakened organs and support the body's natural healing process, especially in cases where the patient has a poor ability to digest protein.
What is the purpose of protomorphogens in treatment?
The author believes that diagnosis and naming a disease is not necessary and can be counterproductive, as it can create a sense of hopelessness and dependence on the doctor. Instead, they focus on identifying organ weaknesses and working to strengthen them.
What is the author's stance on diagnosis and disease naming?
The author takes a holistic approach, focusing on detoxification, nutritional supplements, and emotional support to help the client regain their health and overcome their underlying issues.
What is the author's approach to treating clients with chronic illnesses?
