Bacillus 
coli is considered to be the king of the court, providing the most offensive reactions. There are many others. The opportunit y to 
have such a guest is faci litated today because of the dietary habits and quality of foods we are using. Flatulence is produced largely 
by these organisms. Their chemical reactions are hazardous to the well -being of the body. These substances are very toxic. Very 
small amounts of s pecific compounds can produce bizarre reactions in the body. They cause disharmony in the body, chasing away 
the life force. They are hazardous to living’ organisms, constantly occupied in breaking down tissue and reorganizing it. The  
average bowel provide s an ideal environment in which these organisms flourish. We have unwittingly provided the breeding 
ground on a mass scale by the lifestyles we live. Basically, Western man through the use of technology has so adultered his f ood 
that it no longer promotes the friendly bacteria, rather it nourishes the destructive bacteria. Bacillus coli prefer an alkaline 
environment, with protein for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A dark, warm, moist place rounds out their habitat. Undigested pro tein 
reaching the colon is pe rfect food for these bacteria; they thrive on it. We literally feed them and promote their growth this  
way. Meat in particular provides this medium. When these conditions are met, and it doesn’t take long, we are opening the doo rs 
for guests of this sort. They can invite most chronic diseases man is aware of. They are not good boarders. They are always taking 
more than their share and never pay the rent. They are not easily evicted and oftentimes claim the whole house from its landl ord. How can we best avo id these things? Ideally, we should never get into this situation. Bowel hygiene should be taught at an early 
age by our parents. It should be common knowledge and our government should be made responsible to see to it that it is part of 
our educational sy stem. Those practices and processes that contribute to degeneration should be avoided, and those who promote 
such abuses should be re -educated. Until such an ideal is realized, we must deal with the problem the best way we are able  
according to our individ ual beliefs and morality. We can begin with a total cleansing of body tissues in as much as the art has 
progressed. Releasing the grip of toxic substances in the body is no small task. It takes work and perseverance, a willingnes s to 
release the old and em brace the new. Fasting, elimination diets, enemas, colonics, herbs, massage and all the healing arts are in  
one way or another trying to do the same thing; release from the body some undesirable substance whether it be a negative 
attitude, spastic muscle o r lead accumulation, those things that cause disharmony in the body. Bowel cleansing is an essential element in any lasting healing program. The toxic waste must be removed as quickly as possibl e to 
halt the downward spiral of failing health. This is best  done by (1) removing accumulated fecal material from the bowel; (2) 
changing the diet from a toxin -producing process to that of an elimination and cleansing diet; (3) fasting; (4) colonic flushing with 
enemas or colonic irrigations; and (5) cleansing the mind of old habit patterns. This sounds like a big order to handle, but it 
shouldn’t be at all. Going slowly but surely in the right direction is the main successful ingredient. Don’t try to do it all  at once. Too much change too fast causes disorientation , a disease known as future shock. It is best accomplished by surrounding yourself with the right people - people who are knowledgeable about these things and have 
your best interest at heart. A disagreeable, uncooperating spouse or parent can be a major roadblock to success. It may require 
changes in your life that go very deep. Many people give up rather than change, and ride out the consequences of their decisi on the 
rest of their lives. Once the toxic environment in the colon has been purged by cleans ing and elimination; the diet corrected; and all efforts directed 
toward balance, the body will begin to respond by deeper cleansing of all tissues. The elimination reactions brought on by 
cleansing, proper and vital nourishment and a change in attitude ar e a vital part of the rejuvenation process. As this process 
proceeds, the house is being prepared to receive new guests. Slowly, but surely, the bowel flora will change with constant 
encouragement. The once alkaline, high protein, putrefactive environment will change over into one of cleanliness and sweetness, 
where peace and harmony reign. IN SEARCH OF THE I ACTOBACILLUS ACIDOPHILUS  
Throughout known history, man has been enjoying the benefits of a particular food renowned for its health qualities. It prov ides, in 
part, substance to every good aspect of human health. It gives endurance, vitality, strength, long life and cheerfulness. It responds 
wonderfully in the digestive system, promoting every good quality of a healthy bowel. This food is soured milk. B acterial action in 
the milk produces a chemical reaction which digests the milk substances, and makes them an ideal food for the human body. The  
bacteria that cause this reaction to occur are known as lactobacillus, acidophilus, bulgaricus, brevius and sal iveria. There are 
others, but these are the most widely known. These are the friendly bacteria to the human body. They provide many wonderful 
qualities for the organism. First of all, where they live abundantly, the other kind do not or cannot. The acidoph ilus gets its name 
from the fact that it loves an acid environment. An acid bowel environment is one’s best defense against unfriendly bacteria. When 
we provide a favorable environment for the acidophilus, we are at the same time wiping out the breeding en vironment for the 
bacillus coli. So, the process in many respects is aimed at re -establishing the naturally occurring lactobacillus acidophilus. This 
bowel condition is the one from which man’s greatest health can be obtained. Maintaining this condition pu ts one upon the path to 
healthy and vital living. When I say that we want to re -establish the naturally occurring acidophilus, I mean that the acidophilus is normally established at 
birth. Within the mother’s milk is a substance known as colostrum. This s ubstance produces a baby’s first peristaltic action in the 
bowel. Being the first nourishment ingested into the system, mother’s milk produces an acid environment in the colon. This oc curs 
due to the lactose or milk sugar that reaches the colon. When a mot her breast feeds her baby, she gives it the best possible start in 
life and health. The first bacteria to enter the child’s digestive tract will establish itself within a matter of hours from birth. It is 
now that a very critical decision has been made tha t will influence the growth of the individual for its life’s duration. If the colon is 
found to be acid, promoted by mother’s milk, then the acidophilus will take root and flourish. If the colon is found to be al kaline or 
neutral the chances of bacillus co li to flourish are encouraged. The lactose of mother’s milk has the unique quality of being slowly 
metabolized by the body. It reaches the colon still intact and provides nourishment for the acidophilus bacteria. Formulas ot her 
than mother’s milk deprive t he colon of this food and therefore set the stage for coli inhabitation - the beginning of disease. Ask 
around and compare illnesses with those who have been breast fed and those who have not. Even if one is fortunate to have com e 
in with this natural bles sing, it is no guarantee that it will stay that way. Defoliation can occur quite easily. Poor dietary habits in 
particular cause this destruction of the acidophilus environment. Also, antibiotics will cause great damage. Lactobacillus ba cteria 
has a symbio tic relationship with the human body. It is a good boarder and always pays the rent in advance, doing more than its 
share. When we properly care for the bowel, we are automatically providing a welcome home for those favorable life -giving 
bacteria that are essential to good health. Among other things, they provide very valuable nutritional metabolites for the body to 
use in rebuilding and maintaining health. Examples are portions of the vitamin B complex, enzymes and essential amino acids, the 
increased and more efficient absorption of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. They are responsible for the synthesis of certain 
vitamins. They maintain an antibacillus coli environment. They contribute to good health in many ways we are not scientifical ly 
aware of yet. THE VALUE OF LACTIC ACID  
Milk, when first secreted from the udder of a healthy cow or other lactating animal, is sterile, but it becomes invaded by ba cteria 
almost immediately. Milk is a good medium for breeding bacteria of all kinds, good and bad. Any changes which occur in the milk 
after it is secreted are the result of bacterial action converging nutrients into other substances. If bacteria could be prev ented from 
contaminating the milk drawn from the udder, it would remain sweet indefinitely; but thi s is an impossibility. John Harvey 
Kellogg performed an amazing experiment demonstrating this fact. He immersed a one -pound piece of raw meat, slightly tainted, 
in buttermilk. The milk was changed at regular intervals. The meat remained perfectly free of d ecomposition for some 20 years! This demonstrates the efficiency of an acid medium in inhibiting decay producing, putrefactive bacteria. Soured milk is also called 
turned, fermented, curdled and clabbered milk. The Bulgarians and Turks called it yogurt; th e Russian calls it Kefir. Among the 
essential goods of some Nomadic people is a lump of casein milk curds, wrapped up to prevent its drying. This lump of casein is 
put into the milk bag containing the freshly drawn milk and allowed to remain there until th e milk sours. Then the curd ball, 
rejuvenated in the process, is returned to its wrapping. Using this process, the Nomad knows his soured milk will not rot nor  
putrefy. In this condition, the milk retains its food value until it is used up. In more recen t years, since the studies of Metchnikoff, fermented milk has been in great demand and widely used. It has been 
prescribed for better health in general and for a wide range of ailments, particularly those arising from intestinal and meta bolic 
disturbances. Metchnikoff is really the father of modern -time fermented milk. He made it popular and as the head of the Pasteur 
Institute in Paris stimulated a great deal of scientific study about the remedial value of fermented milk. He was an indefati gable 
worker on the subject of longevity. His experiments for attainment of better health and longer life attracted world -wide attention. He maintained that stasis and putrefaction of the bowel shortens life and causes diseases, early senility and premature death  for 
whic h he recommended fermented milk as the best neutralizer and antidote. He deduced this from the fact that the Bulgarians, 
Turks, Arabs, Jews and others who are addicted to the use of fermented milk as the English are to the afternoon tea, produce more  
cente narians than any other nationality, Bulgarians showing 1,500 centenarians out of every million of population. In America, 
only nine out of every million reach that age. No doubt the fact that these people use a great deal of fermented milk, and be cause it 
contains the very valuable lactic acid and the changed proteins, can be considered as a factor in their longevity. But, lest we forget, 
how about their simple fare, simple mode of living, the outdoor life they lead! Are these not just as important, perhaps  more so, as 
factors in longevity than just fermented milk? Metchnikoff inferred that their longevity was due solely to the fermented milk. He obtained a microbe which he called Bacillu s 
Bulgaricus from the casein ball the Bulgarians used to induce souri ng in freshly drawn milk of their herd, and found it would 
indeed induce souring of milk, and very rapidly. He tried to implant this Bulgarian bacillus in the intestinal tract of man, and 
thereby induce lactic acid formation, thus eventually to crowd out t he malignant microbe that may be causing putrefaction, but the 
experiment was not successful. The Bulgarian bacillus is a milk parasite. Many bacteria produce lactic acid, but relatively f ew 
grow well in the alimentary canal. Time, observation and experime ntation have proven that the bacillus bulgaricus is not viable,  
which means that when ingested, it does not thrive in the gastro -intestinal tract, but it is digested and destroyed in the stomach and 
small intestine and does not reach the large intestine. I t does not get into the colon where it is most needed. The bacillus 
bulgaricus, after being ingested, does not appear in the feces when examined. Lactobacillus Bulgaricus preparations have been  
omitted because they contain an organism foreign to the intest inal tract of man and incapable of being implanted in the human 
intestine. The lactobacillus acidophilus preparations have been retained because this organism is capable of implantation, gr owth 
and lactic acid -production in the intestine of man. The presen ce of any bacillus acidi lactici in the feces is the only real proof of 
their value as definite remedial agents in colonic disturbances, especially in constipation. Out of the more than one hundred  species 
of bacillus acidi lactici, including the bacillus yogurt, streptococcus lacticus, thermophilus, lactobacillus adondolyticus, Boas 
Oppler bacillus, lactobacillus lopersici, etc., none thrive or can be implanted in the large intestine, other than the lactob acillus 
acidophilus. Rahe made a critical investig ation ,of the implantation of L. bulgaricus. His work tends to show that although L. bulgaricus milk is 
ingested, it disappears very soon after ingestion has stopped. This investigator also points out a very significant fact - that the 
difference between L . bulgaricus and certain acid -forming bacteria, which are known to occur normally in the intestines, is so 
slight that they can be distinguished only with difficulty. He suggests that the belief on the part of some investigators tha t L. 
bulgaricus becomes established in the intestines was caused by their inability to distinguish between these two types. The only 
bacillus acidi lactici that can thrive and can be implanted into the adult large intestine is the lactobacillus acidophilus. Lactobacillus acidophi lus belongs to the aciduric lactobacillus group which is widely distributed in nature. This group of bacteria 
contains many varieties of related organisms. Lactobacillus acidophilus and lactobacillus bifidus are found in the gastro -intestinal 
tract of man and animals. Lactobacillus bulgaricus usually occurs in the intestinal contents of cattle. It is frequently present in dairy 
products, contaminated with fecal material from cows. The lactobacillus bifidus predominates in the infant colon. It keeps th e chil d 
from developing many infant diseases, and makes him also immune to many diseases, as long as he is fed on breast milk, for th en 
the colon is normally acid in reaction. But as the child grows older and the change of diet takes place, proteins are increas ed at the 
expense of carbohydrates and sugar - milk sugar. As a result, unfriendly bacteria begin to enter the colon, such as the bacillus coli, 
the B. Welchii, B. putreficus, streptococci fecalis, etc. Putrefaction and fermentation now are in order. Thus t oxic material - indol, 
skatol, phenol, ammonia, phenylsulphate, ptomaine, pyrrhol, cadaverin, isoamylamine, ethylamine, idroxyl -phynel, and other 
poisons - swarm in the large intestine. Within the past 50 years methods have been developed for changing the  nature of the germs that live in the intestines. Metchnikoff’s original idea that the bacillus bulgaricus was the normal inhabitant and that its presence was synonymous with long 
life has been changed to emphasis on another germ called the B. acidophilus. As already hinted, with the exception of the 
lactobacillus acidophilus, all other species of bacillus acidi lactici are not viable; that is, when imbibed, when taken by m outh, they 
are digested and destroyed in the stomach and small intestine, and, theref ore, do not reach the colon or, if they do, their number is 
negligible. L. Acidophilus is a normal inhabitant of the intestinal tract and under the influence of the ingestion of lactose  or dextrin 
can be made to predominate the intestinal flora. The ingest ion of L. Acidophilus milk with or without added lactose brings about  
the transformation of the intestinal flora more quickly and is generally conceded to be the most logical and practical method  of 
bringing about the preponderace of L. Acidophilus type of  bacteria in the intestines. By administering L. Acidophilus milk 
implantation the proliferation of the organisms in the intestinal tract are more rapidly accomplished for then there is direc t 
implantation of large numbers of viable organisms. The lactose of milk induces the multiplication of the desired type of bacteria. It is necessary that large quantities of very active cultures should be taken, and special measures must be adopted to supply  to the 
B. acidophilus, when in the colon, the carboyhydrates w hich it requires for efficient growth. The growth in the large intestine of 
lactobacillus acidophilus depends solely on starch and sugar, but more so on milk sugar. In order to change the intestinal fl ora, it is 
best to adopt the following rules. For fift een days, about eight ounces to sixteen ounces of culture of lactobacillus acidophilus, in which three large tablespoonsful o f 
lactose is dissolved, should be taken daily thirty minutes before breakfast; and for the same length of time, three large 
tablesp oonsful of lactose should be dissolved ‘many kind of fruit juices, milk, soups, broth or water, and taken daily thirty  
minutes before supper. After this, four ounces to eight ounces of lactobacillus acidophilus culture, in which three tablespoo nsful of 
lactose have been dissolved, should betaken every morning for fifteen more days. The lactose, however, should be taken as before . After this, the quantity of the culture of the lactobacillus acidophilus can be reduced to four ounces every day for fifteen more  
days. For the remainder of the time, the ingestion of the culture of the lactobacillus acidophilus, two ounces every day, may  be 
sufficient to keep the required amount of lactobacillus acidophilus present in the large intestinal tract. One must remember that the 
amount of the daily requirement of lactose, should continue to be about three tablespoonsful, morning and evening, as the dai ly 
requirement. As to the length of time that the lactobacillus acidophilus culture (together with the lactose) should be taken in order for one to 
gain the desired results depends on the severity of the condition that is being treated. However, a period ranging from four to six 
months may be necessary. A period of about three months of rest may be taken and then the procedur e, if necessary, may be 
repeated. It is possible that the taking of the lactobacillus acidophilus culture and the rest periods may have to go on for some time. When is the intestinal flora changed? The intestinal flora is changed when the stools are soft, frequent (three times a day), and free 
from putrid or rancid odor. Examination by a bacteriologist should give positive 80 and negative 20, which means 80% of the a cid 
formers and 20% of other bacteria. In a bad flora, the percentage will be the reverse, 2 0-80. Of course, a change from 20 -80 or 
worse to 40 -60 or 50 -50, is a decided improvement, but this should not be considered at all satisfactory. Old troubles may still 
continue, perhaps somewhat modified. But when the change reaches 75 -25, marked improvem ent will be evident, and the more 
complete the change of flora, the more decided will be the change for the better in the patient’s symptoms. The advantages of regularly using lactobacillus acidophilus together with the lactose mixture are obvious. Throug h not a cure -all, 
yet one would be temped to say that it should be used not only when diseases have already made their inroad, but more so as a  
preventive of disease. A few more suggestions about the lactobacillus acidophilus therapy The culture, to be eff ective, must 
contain at least 200,000,000 lactobacillus acidophilus per cubic centimeter. Although clinicians experience has been that 
lactobacillus acidophilus therapy has to be taken in large doses to be effective, there have been cases in which daily do ses even as 
small as four ounces has proved satisfactory when it was mixed with a like amount of lactose. In about 75 -80% of non -complicated 
constipation, lactobacillus acidophilus therapy has given uniform good results. The lactobacillus acidophilus cultu re should be 
used within or before the expiration date marked on the bottle.”*  
 
INTESTINAL FLORA  
Current research into intestinal flora of the human bowel has revealed some new and valuable information for the health -seeking 
individual. (See Bibliography f or further reading.) Dr. Paul Gyorgy of the Institute of Nutrition Academy of Medical Sciences of 
the USSR (discoverer of vitamin B -6), has determined that the main component of the normal intestinal flora of man is 
lactobacillus bifidus. Bifidus bacterium  readily establishes itself in the colon of newborns when fed mother’s milk. It is bifidus that 
is found in the nipple of lactating mothers. Very encouraging research in both the USSR and Germany have demonstrated the rejuvenating qualities of this bacter ia when it is 
well established in the colon. The only commercially -available form of lactobacillus bifidus that I am aware of comes under the 
brand name of Eugalan Topfer Forte, and can be found in your health food stores. If not locally available, address  your inquiry for 
this product and information to: Bio -Nutritional Products (see Bibliography) A program using this bacteria following the former 
instructions should bring encouraging results to those who suffer from a lack of proper intestinal flora. Ever yone should take a 
good replenishment of acidophilus culture, which can be purchased at any health food store. I recommend taking this culture 
regardless if you have been on the colema treatments or not. However, it is strongly recommended to be taken afte r the colema 
treatments. “The intestinal Flora in Constipation” by N. A. Ferri, Sr., M.D., Chicago, IL. ഊ55 
 
CHAPTER 7  
NATURAL METHODS AND TECHNIQUES FOR BOWEL IMPROVEMENT: A WHOLISTIC APPROACH  
There are many detoxifying agents which may be useful under various circumstances, but we need to approach detoxification from 
a “whole body” perspective. We need to do more than just take care of the bowel or liver. We must have the right chemical 
balance for the body. It is not sufficient to use a drug to provide  a chemical stimulus to “drive” the body to work right. Rather, we 
must repair, rebuild and regenerate the body as we go along. Proper breathing is important to get oxygen to the organs and ti ssues 
of the body. Exercise is good to get the blood and lymph c irculating but too much exercise in a toxic -laden body is only stirring up 
muddy waters. Lymph drainage is important. Drainage can be increased through the use of protomorphogens or through the use of  
herbal substances such as blue violet tea. Stimulating increased lymph drainage, however, is not sufficient to carry off toxins that 
may be pouring into the lymphatic system via a stagnant bowel holding five or six meals before elimination takes place or fro m a 
bowel pocket holding a mass of putrid material wh ich is being reabsorbed into the body. We dilute the God -given power of our 
body when the bowel does not eliminate eighteen hours after each meal. BACKGROUND STUDIES —MY PREVIOUS WORK  
Rather than restating work that I have written in the past it would be b eneficial for the reader to study four of my previous books. These give a good background for the work that is presented here. For instance, if you really want to know how to take care of colitis, you should know about the liquified salads. They allow bulk to 
get into the bowel in a liquefied form that is more easily digestible. Unfortunately people do not chew well enough - some have 
dentures or missing teeth that make mastication difficult - others are just lazy. Liquefied salads are a way to get the food  
reduced to an easily -assimilable size. The book Blending Magic tells how to prepare delicious foods that retain their full enzyme 
and nutrient values. Doctor/Patient Handbook describes the reversal process and the ways of taking care of the colon through  that process. Nature Has 
A Remedy is a book that covers the ways of building the body wholistically through the use of herbs, sunshine, fresh air, wat er and 
the right mental attitude. When we take care of the “whole” body with these natural, God -given rem edies, every tissue and system 
is revitalized. A New Lifestyle for Health and Happiness gives a complete program for aligning the body, mind and spirit to the good life. Complete with menus, diet control and comprehensive, self -check analysis. In an effec tive bowel management program, you will 
need to drink at least three glasses of liquid before breakfast every morning. Keep in mind that cold water will stop at the stomach,  
but warm or hot water will go directly to the bowel. If you want to go on an elimi nation program, you can use the Veico 77 or 79 
bulk and clay water. Follow directions, and use it three times a day with meals over a period of 30 days. You can add more ju ice to 
your diet during that time, and you should always take juice after the bulk a nd clay water. If it is possible, get into some extra 
bowel elimination through enemas, perhaps using clay water and coffee instead of plain water. This is a kind of elimination 
program you can use while still working at your regular job. There are other w ays to help the bowel, and I have mentioned taking 
care of the mental attitudes as well as conditions in the body. Both are very important. THE BENEFITS OF ALFALFA TABLETS  
The second thing I emphasize in the bowel management program is the taking of four alfalfa tablets with each meal. As far as I am 
concerned, this is almost a panacea. Some health professionals may think I’m going a bit overboard, but I want to tell you th at 
alfalfa tablets provide an excellent natural fiber bulk, and by stimulating the b owel to work against the fiber, we begin to  
compensate for inherent weakness, by building better tone. Juice is not suitable for this purpose because pulp or bulk is nec essary. Some will say that you should take the alfalfa tablets along with additional ch lorophyll; I don’t find this necessary, because there is 
chlorophyll in the alfalfa tablets as well. Chlorophyll is a great deodorizer, a great builder, a great acid neutralizer and one of the 
greatest foods for feeding acidophilus bacteria. I use alfalfa tablets mainly to get into the bowel pockets. I am sure this approach is 
right, because since beginning to use it, I have observed more healing signs associated with the bowel from my iridology anal yses 
than anything I have ever used. Of course, I’m kickin g a lazy dog; I’m kicking a lazy colon. Now, we may encounter a few minor 
problems. There may be more gas, more disturbance and when we have more gas, what can we do? We have to neutralize the gas, 
so I suggest adding a good digestant. The digestant should  be a whole digestant that takes care of starches, sugars and proteins. It is 
made of pancreatic substance and a little betaine hydrochloric acid. It is an all -around good digestant, but vegetarians might prefer 
to use the herbal digestants available. For  vegetarians we recommend a substance called D&F, short for digestion and flatulence  
(gas), because we may begin to stir these up when we get into the bowel pockets. I know of patients who began their diets and  
reported they had more gas than ever before. This is sometimes to be expected. Some people practically live on coffee and donuts, 
and they find they don’t have gas, but they are worn out. They have no energy. You have to “rough it out” through this initia l 
period of regeneration —this period of making  new tissue - before your digestive system will normalize. A certain amount of gas is normal for the average person. I don’t believe anybody has a perfect bowel. I think a little gas w ill be 
produced by anyone, and every farmer knows that when you give a lot of fresh alfalfa to a horse he has more gas than usual. Is that 
horse getting worse? No, it is in better condition. We find that it has a better bowel. So I believe alfalfa tablets and the digestant are 
very important. We find that the acidophilus cult ure, given morning and evening, is an excellent way of developing good bacteria 
in the bowel. At the Battle Creek Sanitarium, researchers found that meat was very detrimental to the bowel because it is ver y 
putrefactive. It is best to cut meat to a minimum  in the diet and to upgrade the intake of vegetables. More greens will help to 
develop acidophilus bacteria. Chocolate, tea (not herb teas), white sugar and coffee break down acidophilus bacteria so we mu st 
eliminate or minimize the use of such substances. A successful bowel management program requires that we go a different way. In following a program for the bowel, there are some excellent corrective exercises. There is an exercise to use on the slant  board 
which involves vigorous tapping of the abdomen w hile stretching the upper torso from side to side. This exercise gently pulls the 
bowel down in the direction of the shoulders while upside -down on the board. I’m interested in getting the bowel in the prefer 
position. I believe we have been crowding the b owel. So we must go to work on it. Doing the bicycle pedaling exercise while up -side down on the slant board is a wonderful exercise. For another type of exercise, 
lie down and take a rubber bailor tennis ball and rub it around in a circle on your abdomen . The round surface of the ball gets right 
down into the bowel and gives it an internal exercise, more so than rubbing on the outside. There are other exercises to lift  the 
bowel and manipulate the prolapsus back into position. SLANT BOARD EXERCISES  
(For Prolapsus and Regenerating the Vital Nerve Centers of the Brain) When there is a lack of tone in the muscles, we can expect 
prolapsus of the abdominal organs. The heart, lacking tone, cannot circulate blood properly throughout the body. Likewise,  
arteries  and veins cannot contract to help the blood fight gravity and get into the brain tissues. There are some people who 
apparently have tried everything to get well, who still find all organs working under par. Many people do not realize that th e 
quickening f orce for every organ of the body comes from the brain. People whose occupations require them to sit or stand 
continually are unable to get the blood into the brain tissues because the tired organs cannot force the blood uphill. If we deny the 
brain tissues  good blood in the proper amount, eventually every organ in our body will suffer. The heart gets its start from the 
brain and continues its everlasting pumping because of it. No organ can do without the brain. I attribute the success of my h ealing 
work to the very fact that I definitely recognize that the brain must be fed properly. Slanting board exercises are absolutely  
necessary to regain perfect health. CAUTIONARY NOTE  
There are many cases where the board is contra -indicated. It is best in most cases to get professional advice, for some people have 
had unhappy experiences due to the very fact they started too strenuous a program to begin with. If you haven’t done much 
exercising of the abdominal muscles, it is best to take these exercises slowly and gr adually increase them as you get stronger. Do not use the board in cases of high blood pressure, hemorrhages, some tubercular conditions, cancer in the pelvic cavity, 
appendicitis, ulcers of the stomach or intestines or pregnancy, unless under the care of a physician. The slanting board exercises 
are practically the same as any other lying -down exercises. The most important exercise is to hold on to the sides of the board bringing the knees up to the chest. This forces all the a bdominal 
organs up toward th e shoulders. While in this position, twist the head from side to side and in all directions, thus utilizing the extra 
force to circulate blood to congested areas of the head, especially bringing the stomach and abdominal organs up toward the c hest 
while ho lding the breath. Slanting board exercises are especially good in cases of inflammations and congestions above the 
shoulders, such as sinus trouble, bad eyes, falling hair, head eczema, ear conditions and similar troubles. Slanting board ex ercise is 
needed  and has helped more than any other treatment in cases of heart trouble, fatigue, dizziness, poor memory and paralysis. The 
average person should maintain the foot end of the board at chair height for all exercises, but if dizzy at first, the foot e nd of t he 
board should not be raised quite so high. Exercise only 5 minutes a day. Gradually increase time spent on the board. The aver age 
patient should lie on the board 10 minutes at 3 o’clock in the afternoon and again just before going to bed. After retiring,  lift the  
buttocks to allow the organs to return to a normal position. SUGGESTED EXERCISES (USE ANKLE STRAPS WHILE DOING THE FOLLOWING EXERCISES)  
(Numbered exercises correspond to illustrations.) 1. Lie full length, allowing gravity to help the abdominal organs into their position. For best results, lie on board at least 10 
minutes. 2. While lying flat on back, stretch the abdomen by putting arms above head. Bring arms above head 10 to 15 times: this stret ches 
the abdominal muscles and pulls the abdomen do wn toward the shoulders. 3. Bring abdominal organs toward shoulders while holding breath. Move the organs back and forth by drawing them upward, 
contracting abdominal muscles, then allowing them to go back to a relaxed position. Do this 10 to 15 times. 4. Pat abdomen vigorously with open hands. Lean to one side then to the other, patting the stretched side. Pat 10 to 15 times ea ch 
side. Bring the body to sitting position, using the abdominal muscles. Return to lying position. Do this 3 to 4 times, if pos sible. Do 
only if doctor orders. HOLD ON TO THE HANDLES, FEET OUT OF STRAPS, WHILE DOING THESE EXERCISES:  
5. Bend knees and legs at hips. While in this position: (a) turn head from side to side 5 or 6 times; (b) lift head slightly and rotate in 
circles 3 or 4 times. 6. Lift legs to vertical position, rotate outward in circles 8 or 10times. Increase to 25 times after a week or two of exerci sing. 7. Bring legs straight up to a vertical position and lower them to the board slowly. Repeat 3 or 4 times. 8. Bicycle  legs in air 15to 25 times. Relax and rest, letting the blood circulate in the head for 10 minutes. ELEVEN -DAY ELIMINATION REGIME  
There are many eliminative regimes, and they all accomplish about the same results, through the fact that the body is g iven less 
food, simpler foods and simpler combinations, more watery foods - so a greater transition can take place in the cells of the body. This Eleven -Day Elimination Regime can be used by most persons in health, and for those who want to overcome the av erage 
physical disorder. Those who are weak or feeble, however, should not follow the plan the full eleven days without supervision . Those with tuberculosis should have both supervision and assistance. Variation, as to the length of time and the manner in  which the foods are to be taken, may be adjusted to suit the history of the 
patient. Examples: fruits, vegetables and broths can be taken for 1 day; or 1 day of just fruit; or 1, 2 or 3 days of vegetab les only. Vegetables, taken in the form of broths, gen tly steamed vegetables and salads are a safer routine for the average beg inner than 
citrus fruits. A hot bath should be taken every night during this diet regime. Enemas may be used the first four or five days , then 
discontinued for natural movements. Not hing but water and fruit juices, preferably grapefruit, should be taken into the body for the 
first three days. Drink one glass of juice every four hours of the day. The next two days fruit only - such as grapes, melons, 
tomatoes, pears, peaches, plums; dr ied fruit such as prunes, figs, peaches, soaked overnight or baked apple. In the six following days, breakfast should consist of citrus fruits. Between breakfast and lunch, any other kind of fruit. F or lunch, 
have a salad of three to six vegetables and tw o cups of vital broth. When hungry between meals, fruit or fruit juices may be taken. Dinner should consist of two or three steamed vegetables and two cups of vital broth. Fruit juices can be taken before retiri ng, if 
wanted. Rigid adherence to the diet is  an absolute necessity for anyone attempting to regain good health. Eat plenty, but not to 
satiety. VITAL BROTH RECIPE:  
2 C. carrot tops; 1 clove garlic; 2 C. potato peelings (1/2" thick); 2 C. beet tops; 2 C. celery tops; 3 C. celery stalk; 2 q t distille d 
water; 1/2 tsp Savita or Vegex. Add a carrot and onion to flavor, if desired (grate or chop). Ingredients should be finely chopped. Bring to a boil, slowly: simmer approximately 20 minutes. Use only the broth after straining. When finished with the above  regime return to Dr. Jensen’s Daily Food Regime. The above elimination regime should be followed whenever a person changes from the old ways of living and begins to live righ t. 
As a rule, it is wise to follow the elimination regime in any and all of the f ollowing cases: as a general cleanser two or three times a 
year; at the time of crisis; when reduction of weight is desired; when hips get too large; when joints get stiff; when the sk in breaks 
out; when constipation is present. THE MASTER CHLOROPHYLL ELI MINATION DIET  
This is a diet of just plain water, preferably using distil led water, and using one teaspoon of a liquid chlorophyll to one glass of 
water every three hours. You can also use vegetable juice, but this is a diet where we are adding iron, gath ering all the oxygen we 
can while we are breathing, and burning up the toxic waste by using the iron as found in liquid chlorophyll. Liquid chlorophy ll is 
usually made as an extract from alfalfa leaves, which is one of the highest things we have in potassi um iron, which will attract the 
oxygen to the body. Doing this for three or four days is a wonderful pre -elimination diet to fasting or to any other type of dieting. I  
consider this to be the master -cleansing diet for all catarrhal conditions. In the prese nce of greens, we find that catarrh is 
eliminated best from the body. WATERMELON FLUSH  
There are times during the watermelon season that we can use watermelon as a good elimination diet. Going on watermelon for 
three, four or five days is a wonderful kidn ey eliminant, a diuretic. We find that it helps to take out a lot of the debris in the colon 
and the extra water picks up toxic materials and carries them off. ONE DAY A WEEK FAST  
On a one day a week fast regime you can be on a juice diet or a fruit on th e one day – and rest. Many people like to go on a fast 
one day a week. This is perfectly all right if you will rest that day - but you MUST rest! You cannot expect to get the good yielded 
by a rest without food by using all of your energy and leaving yours elf depleted by working on a day that you do not eat. FASTING  
Fasting is the quickest way of bringing about elimination in the body and the fastest way of getting toxic materials out of t he body. This is done through complete rest - physical, psychologica l and psychic. As we let the body rest, it develops tone and vitality, 
more than is possible by any other procedure. I believe rest is a cure because it gives us the vitality we need to throw off toxic  
material and to eliminate the debris that has been acc umulated over a period of years. We can literally withdraw toxic 
accumulations through a fast. We find that there are many ways to fast. I think the better way is to take a half glass of wat er every 
hour and a half throughout the day. If it is a hot day, y ou may need more water and it is all right since you perspire more. Be sure 
not to take big gulps of water at one time. The water should be cool but not ice cold. Take daily enemas the first few days, then 
reduce this to every other day or every third or f ourth day, depending upon the length of time you fast. While you are fasting you 
should rest as much as possible. If you hike or walk, do it on level ground. Do nothing to the point of tiring. This is impor tant in 
fasting. JUICE FASTING  
I don’t think it’s  any particular juice that will cure anything - but I believe the rest you give your body allows it the opportunity to 
reverse the disease and recover your health. It’s the rest from food and the simple diet that does the trick. The lack of too  many 
food m ixtures and less demand made on our digestive and eliminative systems help us to overcome disease. The carrot juice diet 
involves taking one glass of carrot juice every three hours or more if you like. You can do this for ten days, twenty days or  even 
longer. I had one man on carrot juice for a whole year. That is a long time! This particular man lived in Monrovia and had an  
extreme condition of the bowel but through the carrot juice diet, he got rid of it. Dr. Kirschner, who wrote the book on juic e 
therapy, came here to talk over this man’s case because he found out how I had kept him on juices for so long a time. The man  
passed off mucus and catarrh continually from that bowel. It was almost unbelievable what was eliminated - being even black at 
times. This was simply accumulated toxic material that was necessary for him to get rid of. BREAKING A FAST  
In breaking a fast, if you go five, six or seven days on water, then go one or two days on juices, either vegetable or fruit. Take one 
8-oz glass ever y three hours. You have eliminated the enemas one or two days I beforehand and you are starting in to work for 
good bowel movements now. I After the two days of juices, start the first thing in the morning on the third day with sliced o r 
peeled oranges. Th e bulk of an orange is probably one of the finest things for the bowel. If you do not want to use oranges, you can 
use a finely shredded carrot that has been steamed or wilted for one minute. This acts to help clean out the toxic materials. You can 
do this  for breakfast and lunch. Then for the evening meal, you can start out with a small salad. Have a glass of juice at 10:00 am and again at 3:00 pm. The next day you can have fresh fruit for breakfast along with juice. Have juice at 10:00 am. For lunch, you can have a small salad and juice. Have another glass of juice at 3:00 pm. At the evening meal you can have a salad, one cooked vegetable and juice. The next day you can have the same as the day before, except that you could have an extra vegetable at  noon and again at night, if 
desired. You may also have an egg or a tablespoon of nut butter for the morning meal. The next day, you will start on Dr. Jensen’s Regular Diet, except for no starches. The day following, you can have both starches and proteins  in your diet. NOTE:  
Here is a simple thing for you to remember when considering the basic requirements for good bowel management. Your food 
should in some way contribute to the BLM in the bowel. BLM is Bulk, Lubrication and Moisture. These three combine to provide 
an ideal bowel environment. Bulk creates the mass whereby good evacuation is assured. Lubrication provides an easy flow of 
materials through the digestive tract all the way to the anus. Moisture prevents the drying out of feces and constipation from 
developing. If your food item does not contribute to BLM, then don’t eat it! GRAPES  
Four pounds of grapes a day is a good amount for a grape diet and you should average a pound or so every three hours. These 
grapes should be the grapes that have seed s since these are the most vital of all grapes. Man has gone to using hybrid foods too 
much. Those foods that were brought to us in the beginning are the foods that have lots of seeds. They are the vital foods. S o I 
believe the grapes that have seeds are t he best. The Concord, Fresno Beauty, Red grapes and Muscat, all are good grapes to use. I 
don’t say that you have to use the seeds. You can chew them finely if you like. A good thing to help eliminate catarrh is fou nd in 
cream of tartar which surround the seeds. So make sure you get all the material off the seeds when you are eating them. When 
chewing grape skins, you’ll find that they are very bitter but that bitterness is high in potassium. Potassium is a great cle anser in 
the body. Gayelord Hauser made h is name with potassium broth. It is a great cleanser and detoxifier in the body. Especially in the 
beginning of the grape diet, I think you should use enemas. Toxic materials accumulate and it is well that we keep things mov ing 
along. You can go on grapes five to ten days without any supervision, but if you stay on them longer, it is well to have someone  
around who has been used to giving the grape diet. That person should be able to take care of you with any reaction you might  
have that may be strange to y ou. Many times these reactions are nothing more than a healing crisis or an elimination process. WATER REMEDIES  
Sitz Baths. Water should come up five inches on the body. The feet are never in the water. The baths should only be for the p elvis 
and the pelv ic organs. This is wonderful for congestion in the pelvis and sluggish bowels. These baths are best taken in the evening 
just before going to bed. However, they can be taken the first thing in the morning before going to work. The cold sitz bath is an 
effective, though violent way of stopping bedwetting. Take cold water, sitting in it four to five minutes every morning before 
going to school or before beginning the daily program or routine. This will help with bladder and prostate, problems in gener al. A  
gentler approach is to take two sitz baths every morning. The first for one minute, hot; the second for one -half minute, cold. Do 
this for five changes, going from one to the other. The treatment should continue for a period of three months. BENEFITS OF THE ENEMA  
Enemas can be beneficial in restoring healthy bowel regularity. This is why I believe enemas should be used every day for a y ear 
by those who have problems with a sluggish, irregular or underactive bowel. Many ingredients can be added to enema water to 
increase its effectiveness in some specific manner. Coffee enemas help detoxify the liver. Flaxseed tea enemas relieve 
inflammation in the bowel. Bentonite, a clay water, when added to enema water assists in absorbing and mobilizing toxins from  
the bowe l wall. Acidophilus culture taken orally is helpful in detoxifying the bowel and in building friendly bacteria. Acidophilus 
implants can also be inserted rectally over night. I believe that each of the many health professions and approaches to health care  have a special value. I do not believe, however, 
that any therapeutic method —no matter how sophisticated - can effectively overcome disease in a toxic -laden body. The toxins 
must be eliminated first. Nor do I believe that any drug -based therapy can restor e or rejuvenate tissue damaged in the course of 
chronic disease. Only nutrients from foods can do that. I believe when we work with nature, we get the results nature intends  us to 
get. A clean body nourished by natural foods and uplifting thoughts will put  anyone on the path to right living that brings health as 
a natural consequence. It is interesting to note that the famous beauty queen, whom I knew, Mae West, was a great believer in  the 
benefits of the enema. She started every day with a morning enema. I ’m sure that this simple practice greatly contributed to her 
unusual vitality, bright -mindedness and long lasting attractiveness, as true beauty is but a reflection of the beauty within. A WORD ABOUT COLONICS  
Colonies, as administered today, vary greatly in their effects due largely to the expertise of the colonic technician. We feel that in 
some respects colonic therapy is taking advantage of people by making them believe that long and costly treatments are necess ary. Also water applied under pressure is potentially hazardous. Those individuals with known or suspected serious bowel problems  
should approach pressurized colonic treatments with extreme caution. Those practitioners who administer colonic therapy prope rly 
are offering a useful service to the pu blic. This service can be greatly enhanced with the addition of sound dietary counseling so  
as to eventually overcome the need for colonic therapy. Without this knowledge, the colonic recipient is merely digging holes  and 
filling them again —a net zero towa rd building a better health quality. Many professionals giving colonies today are getting 
successful but temporary results. The reason for this is that just getting rid of the toxic waste in the bowel is not the com plete 
answer, although it is the first st ep along the correct path. Unless proper exercise, diet and right living are practiced, good and 
lasting results will not be achieved. We must be interested in making bowel tissue changes. REVITALIZING BROTH  
This is a broth that was used during my sanitar ium work dealing with very sick people who had to be nourished back to health. It is 
very easy to digest. Use 5 or 6 of these non -gas-forming vegetables, such as: Beets, carrots, potato peeling, celery, parsley, okra (if 
possible), chayote pear or any squa sh. Do not use any of the sulfur vegetables: cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli or onions. Add: 1 C. cut up vegetables; 1 pint water; 2 tablespoons Soybean Milk Powder. After either liquifying, blending or shredding vegetables, place in a pot with other ingred ients and let simmer 3 -5 minutes over a 
very low flame. This is only to break down the fiber and release enzymes. Strain and use. CHAPTER 8  
INTRODUCTION TO THE ULTIMATE TISSUE CLEANSING SYSTEM  
I’ve given colonics to people who have expelled grape seeds an d they had not eaten grapes for nine months! Where had those 
seeds been? I’ve seen popcorn come out of a person when they hadn’t had popcorn for three years. Where had it been? We 
accumulate these things in the mucous membrane that holds toxic material in various folds of the intestines. It was very hard for  
me to believe this could happen. Just a short time ago, I went through the Ultimate Cleansing process, and I can attest to th e 
wonderful results I experienced. For those who have asthma, an extreme elim ination program will help you more than anything; 
and for those who suffer with arthritis, 1 have seen many receive relief within ten days after participating in this program. I can tell 
you about cases and relief that came to those who have taken care of the bowel. It is a means of keeping the body clean. “Cleanse 
and purify thyself and I wilt exalt thee to the throne of power.” Energy which flows through our body is dependent upon a cle an 
body. For example, here is a case that was quite striking to me. One of the women on the program who is in her early fifties, had medical 
laboratory tests taken that showed a triglyceride reading of 938 mg/dl (Normal is 150 -200.) and a cholesterol reading of 348 mg/dl. After one week on the Ultimate Cleansing Program, t he triglyceride dropped to 253 and the cholesterol to 277; obviously a 
dramatic change occurred. There is a mucous membrane that lines the last six feet of the intestinal tract of the large colon. I never 
believed this tract could be so mucus loaded, black  and toxic, but I had the chance to see this while on the Ultimate Cleansing 
Program myself. In this process, you use an intestinal bulk. This bulk is mixed with clay water and is taken five times a day  
followed by a second drink of natural apple cider vin egar and honey. Hot water carries food or any material to the colon, while 
cold water and food stop at the stomach. This is why we do not believe in cold food or drinks after meals; this stops digesti ve 
processes at the stomach level. We find that hot drin ks will get to the bowel and start things moving along. The instructions for the 7 -day cleansing pro -gram are more detailed in the next section. Now there are ways of breaking down the 
mucous membrane. How did you happen to get this heavy mucous membrane ? You were not digesting your foods properly. In 
those who don’t digest food properly, the pancreas isn’t working well, so they can get relief by taking Pancreatic tablets. M ost of 
this heavy mucus, I believe, has been developed by undigested foods. By put ting this excess amount of pancreatic material in the 
body, you can readjust what the pancreas should have done in the past when the body was overloaded with starches, sugar, etc. We 
are now going to readjust this so it will tear down the mucus that holds all of these materials. I believe the digestant will also help 
break off the mucous lining from the bowel wall. I believe this because I’ve been on several elimination programs and this on e rids 
the bowel of the mucous lining. When the liver hasn’t been wo rking too well and we are a wee bit on the slow side in moving the 
bowel, it may help to take beet tablets. Further, we may want to take Spring Green or Green Life tablets. No food will be eat en 
during this time. You have only a small amount of juice mixed  with the bulk and the rest is water. The vitamins and minerals in 
tablet form are all food, so you won’t feel hungry. You won’t lose much weight on your first cleansing elimination. There are more vitamins and minerals to take and I think one to be consi dered is niacin. This pushes blood to all the different 
organs in the body. Niacin will give you a hot flash and a flush; we want the blood to get to the bowel wall at this time. Th ere is a 
product called Calphonite which is colloidal calcium and is taken twice a day, morning and night. At night, cod liver oil is added 
which will control and fix calcium in the body. Calphonite is a refined lime product with a very high absorption rate which 
promotes the dissolving of precipitated calcium settled in the join ts. THE CLEANSING PROGRAM  
I would like to discuss one of the most important aspects of the bowel management program, the one most neglected and the one  
no one wants to talk about. I think we are all in a bowel mess because we grew up like Topsy, and now w e have to talk about it. We have to begin to correct old errors by learning the right way to take care of the bowel. Cleansing, detoxification and 
elimination are words we all hear. but they are seldom used in connection with the bowel. When I look over al l the programs that 
were developed to take care of the bowel and all the various techniques we’ve had in bowel cleansing, I have come to the 
conclusion that a real cleansing process should be one that reaches every cell in the body. In general, we can say that the blood is 
only as clean as the bowel, and since the blood circulates through every organ in the body and reaches every cell in the body , 
toxins in the blood due to a dirty bowel contaminate the entire body. To properly cleanse the body tissue we mu st start by a  
thorough cleansing of the bowel. We have to utilize energy to rid the bowel of toxic material. We find, too, that the bowel h as 
to take care of acids. Catarrh elimination through the bowel is actually part of our own body being eliminated. No w, I’ve heard the 
bowel called a cesspool and I’ve heard it called the dirtiest part of the body. I point this out because the average person d oesn’t 
want to talk about it; such discussion is thought to be socially unacceptable. Bowel problems should be di scussed, however,  
because most people need some help. There is nothing to be ashamed of in discussing the bowel. It is merely a natural part of  the 
body. Care of the bowel should be a routine part of a total health program. Bowel action is one of the end r esults of metabolism: 
the elimination of broken down cells and tissue plus the fermented and putrified food wastes. Bowel action is far worse when there 
is a lazy colon. The colon is made up of muscle structure that moves toxic materials along by peristalt ic motion, and if there is 
flabby muscle structure throughout the body, you can be assured that the bowel is even flabbier. “IT’S NOT ONLY WHAT YOU EAT —IT’S WHAT YOU ABSORB THAT COUNTS”  
In managing the bowel, there are ways to get good results, and first of all, we must change the diet. Unless we do this, we w ill 
become “doctor shoppers.” The symptoms just stay with us because we aren’t dealing with the cause of the problem. Every organ  
in the body works with every other organ. The body is a community of various organs working for the good of the whole human 
being. A short word on intestinal cultures before the story. While I was at the Battle Creek Sanitarium, Dr. DeFoe, who delivered t he 
famous Dionne quintuplets in Canada, telephoned Dr. John Harvey Kellogg and said he was about to lose two of the babies 
because of their poor bowel conditions. Dr. Kellogg immediately sent off an acidophilus culture, and a week later, Dr. DeFoe 
called t o say the two babies were much improved. He felt that Dr. Kellogg had saved the babies’ lives with the acidophilus culture. In discussing the many types of diets that are appropriate during the different stages of disease, we must be sensitive to wh at the se 
stages represent in terms of digestive ability. For instance, we can’t immediately give a big raw salad to one who has coliti s; we 
must first cleanse and give the bowel tonicity in preparation for more efficient digestion and absorption. Going through t he 7-day 
elimination program will give us a head start. We must be able to absorb the nutrients that we are rebuilding our bodies with  or 
those nutrients will be lost. Once absorption has been increased we take the body step by step along a graduated food regime. We 
may have to use broths and light soups at first, then go on to steamed, pureed vegetables and fruits. Raw, liquefied salads c an be 
given as the bowel becomes able to handle more bulk. We must move slowly but surely along the tissue cleansing and  rejuvenating 
system, keeping in mind that even as it took time to pollute our bodies to the point of disease, so it will take time to reve rse the 
process. POOR ASSIMILATION LEADS TO NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIES  
Personally, I wonder if a toxic body can even a bsorb the right chemical elements at all. If body tissue is unable to function at the 
normal metabolic rate, regeneration and rebuilding would take a great deal longer than otherwise. Can digestion be good in a toxic 
body? It is impossible to build healthy  tissue without effective digestion and assimilation. Nerve conduction is not as effective as it 
should be when the metabolic rate is low. It is entirely possible to have good nerve flow and nerve function in the body, but  if the 
body chemistry is not righ t, improvement through rejuvenation will be limited and incomplete. A complete tissue detoxification 
program requires that we take care of all five elimination channels. Underactive tissue can not get rid of toxic wastes prope rly. I 
want to place a special  emphasis on this. When we rid the body of toxins, we often notice a subsequent remission of some 
degenerative disease stage. CLEAN TISSUES FUNCTION BETTER  
There are many therapeutic approaches to restoring or maintaining health today. However, the presen ce of toxic settlements in the 
body prevents any of these methods of treatment from being completely successful. If a treatment does not work toward complet e 
detoxification, the rejuvenation of tissue will not take place as it should. The complete rejuvena tion process involves the 
replacement of old underactive tissue with new, clean, efficiently working tissue. This is what brings a degenerative conditi on to a 
state of recession and remission. Many kinds of processes can be used to bring this about, and th is is what the doctor must be alert 
for. The natural immune system can only be built up in a clean body, a body with a minimal amount of accumulated toxic material. The presence of significant quantities of toxic material in body tissue means that the bod y’s natural defenses have been overcome. When health is restored through a tissue cleansing program, the immune system will also be restored as we return to a healthy  diet, 
exercise, fresh air, sunshine and a positive outlook on life. Most people believe t hat tissue rebuilding depends upon a nutritious 
diet, and this is basically correct. But it also depends on good nerve force, good circulation and adequate rest. We have don e 
experiments to show what can be accomplished by tissue detoxification. In a perio d of only seven days of fasting, taking 
nutritional supplements and bowel cleansing, almost unbelievable results have been observed and recorded. As these methods ar e 
further understood and tested; we may hope to find them in hospitals and sanitariums in t he treatment of disease. In order to 
reverse the disease process, we must consider Hering’s law of cure, which states that all diseases are cured from within out,  from 
the head down and in reverse order as their symptoms first appeared in the body. This me ans we have to return over the same 
‘track” we traveled to get the disease. No disease can exist without toxic material in the body, so the first step toward rem ission is 
detoxification. To administer drugs in response to a disease condition brought on by  toxic accumulations can only add to the problem. Although 
temporary relief may be obtained, the residual drug settlement will, over the long term, simply increase the toxic burden of the 
body. Please remember that this program is designed to be part of a preventive health care system in which the results of bad habits 
may begin to be reversed. No good results of lasting quality will be had as long as destructive habits are continued. This pr ogram 
is for the person who is wanting and willing to start over a new. Taking up the life -generating practices marks the beginning of a 
new day toward the harvest of renewed health and vitality. Throughout this book, we have stressed the importance of cleanline ss 
as the vehicle by which health is regained and maintained. The degree to which the colon is inhabited by harmful bacteria, 
parasites and other dangerous organisms varies greatly among individuals. What one person is able to hold in the bowel withou t 
obvious effects may be hazardous to others. SANITATION & CLEANL INESS IMPORTANT NOTE  
Contamination by one individual of another must be avoided. This important point is best accomplished by each person having 
their own personal colema board and tip. DO NOT ALLOW ANOTHER PERSON TO USE YOUR BOARD OR TIP UNLESS  
THE EQUIPM ENT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY STERILIZED. Microscopic organisms are very easily transferred to the colon by the use of unclean colema rectal tips. Store your rectal ti p in a 
bottle of germicidal solution when not in use. Sterilize the interior tube to which the  rectal tube is attached before use to ensure 
against infection. We have endeavored to make this system as easy as possible to keep clean by making it simple and 
uncomplicated. Thorough cleansing of the board after each use is essential to avoiding complic ations. It is very important that this instruction be adhered to for your health and wellbeing. Do not be lax In this regard. One of the nice 
advantages of this system is that colonic debris never flows back through the colema tubing, as occurs in nearly all commercially 
available colonic irrigation equipment. In this way, contamination is kept to a safe minimum. It is a good idea to occasional ly 
cleanse the hoses of the colema by running a germicidal solution through the bucket and tubing to cleanse the p assageways of any 
possible infestations. Also, always keep a protective lid on the colema bucket to avoid settlement of hair, dust, dirt or oth er 
contamination into the bucket. Always thoroughly rinse the bucket before and after each use. Another importa nt consideration that you should be aware of is the quality of your water supply. Contaminated water can cause 
severe bowel distress. If you are working with well water in your colema, it is a good idea to make certain the water is safe  for 
colonic irrigat ion by having it tested at your local health certification agency.
Tissue_Cleansing.txt
Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        Bacillus 
coli is considered to be the king of the court, providing the most offensive reactions. There are many others. The opportunit y to 
have such a guest is faci litated today because of the dietary habits and quality of foods we are using. Flatulence is produced largely 
by these organisms. Their chemical reactions are hazardous to the well -being of the body. These substances are very toxic. Very 
small amounts of s pecific compounds can produce bizarre reactions in the body. They cause disharmony in the body, chasing away 
the life force. They are hazardous to living’ organisms, constantly occupied in breaking down tissue and reorganizing it. The  
average bowel provide s an ideal environment in which these organisms flourish. We have unwittingly provided the breeding 
ground on a mass scale by the lifestyles we live. Basically, Western man through the use of technology has so adultered his f ood 
that it no longer promotes the friendly bacteria, rather it nourishes the destructive bacteria. Bacillus coli prefer an alkaline 
environment, with protein for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A dark, warm, moist place rounds out their habitat. Undigested pro tein 
reaching the colon is pe rfect food for these bacteria; they thrive on it. We literally feed them and promote their growth this  
way. Meat in particular provides this medium. When these conditions are met, and it doesn’t take long, we are opening the doo rs 
for guests of this sort. They can invite most chronic diseases man is aware of. They are not good boarders. They are always taking 
more than their share and never pay the rent. They are not easily evicted and oftentimes claim the whole house from its landl ord. How can we best avo id these things. Ideally, we should never get into this situation. Bowel hygiene should be taught at an early 
age by our parents. It should be common knowledge and our government should be made responsible to see to it that it is part of 
our educational sy stem. Those practices and processes that contribute to degeneration should be avoided, and those who promote 
such abuses should be re -educated. Until such an ideal is realized, we must deal with the problem the best way we are able  
according to our individ ual beliefs and morality. We can begin with a total cleansing of body tissues in as much as the art has 
progressed. Releasing the grip of toxic substances in the body is no small task. It takes work and perseverance, a willingnes s to 
release the old and em brace the new. Fasting, elimination diets, enemas, colonics, herbs, massage and all the healing arts are in  
one way or another trying to do the same thing; release from the body some undesirable substance whether it be a negative 
attitude, spastic muscle o r lead accumulation, those things that cause disharmony in the body. Bowel cleansing is an essential element in any lasting healing program. The toxic waste must be removed as quickly as possibl e to 
halt the downward spiral of failing health. This is best  done by (1) removing accumulated fecal material from the bowel; (2) 
changing the diet from a toxin -producing process to that of an elimination and cleansing diet; (3) fasting; (4) colonic flushing with 
enemas or colonic irrigations; and (5) cleansing the mind of old habit patterns. This sounds like a big order to handle, but it 
shouldn’t be at all. Going slowly but surely in the right direction is the main successful ingredient. Don’t try to do it all  at once. Too much change too fast causes disorientation, a disease known as future shock. It is best accomplished by surrounding yourself with the right people - people who are knowledgeable about these things and have 
your best interest at heart. A disagreeable, uncooperating spouse or parent can be a major roadblock to success. It may require 
changes in your life that go very deep. Many people give up rather than change, and ride out the consequences of their decisi on the 
rest of their lives. Once the toxic environment in the colon has been purged by cleans ing and elimination; the diet corrected; and all efforts directed 
toward balance, the body will begin to respond by deeper cleansing of all tissues. The elimination reactions brought on by 
cleansing, proper and vital nourishment and a change in attitude ar e a vital part of the rejuvenation process. As this process 
proceeds, the house is being prepared to receive new guests. Slowly, but surely, the bowel flora will change with constant 
encouragement. The once alkaline, high protein, putrefactive environment will change over into one of cleanliness and sweetness, 
where peace and harmony reign. IN SEARCH OF THE I ACTOBACILLUS ACIDOPHILUS  
Throughout known history, man has been enjoying the benefits of a particular food renowned for its health qualities. It prov ides, in 
part, substance to every good aspect of human health. It gives endurance, vitality, strength, long life and cheerfulness. It responds 
wonderfully in the digestive system, promoting every good quality of a healthy bowel. This food is soured milk. B acterial action in 
the milk produces a chemical reaction which digests the milk substances, and makes them an ideal food for the human body. The  
bacteria that cause this reaction to occur are known as lactobacillus, acidophilus, bulgaricus, brevius and sal iveria. There are 
others, but these are the most widely known. These are the friendly bacteria to the human body. They provide many wonderful 
qualities for the organism. First of all, where they live abundantly, the other kind do not or cannot. The acidoph ilus gets its name 
from the fact that it loves an acid environment. An acid bowel environment is one’s best defense against unfriendly bacteria. When 
we provide a favorable environment for the acidophilus, we are at the same time wiping out the breeding en vironment for the 
bacillus coli. So, the process in many respects is aimed at re -establishing the naturally occurring lactobacillus acidophilus. This 
bowel condition is the one from which man’s greatest health can be obtained. Maintaining this condition pu ts one upon the path to 
healthy and vital living. When I say that we want to re -establish the naturally occurring acidophilus, I mean that the acidophilus is normally established at 
birth. Within the mother’s milk is a substance known as colostrum. This s ubstance produces a baby’s first peristaltic action in the 
bowel. Being the first nourishment ingested into the system, mother’s milk produces an acid environment in the colon. This oc curs 
due to the lactose or milk sugar that reaches the colon. When a mot her breast feeds her baby, she gives it the best possible start in 
life and health. The first bacteria to enter the child’s digestive tract will establish itself within a matter of hours from birth. It is 
now that a very critical decision has been made tha t will influence the growth of the individual for its life’s duration. If the colon is 
found to be acid, promoted by mother’s milk, then the acidophilus will take root and flourish. If the colon is found to be al kaline or 
neutral the chances of bacillus co li to flourish are encouraged. The lactose of mother’s milk has the unique quality of being slowly 
metabolized by the body. It reaches the colon still intact and provides nourishment for the acidophilus bacteria. Formulas ot her 
than mother’s milk deprive t he colon of this food and therefore set the stage for coli inhabitation - the beginning of disease. Ask 
around and compare illnesses with those who have been breast fed and those who have not. Even if one is fortunate to have com e 
in with this natural bles sing, it is no guarantee that it will stay that way. Defoliation can occur quite easily. Poor dietary habits in 
particular cause this destruction of the acidophilus environment. Also, antibiotics will cause great damage. Lactobacillus ba cteria 
has a symbio tic relationship with the human body. It is a good boarder and always pays the rent in advance, doing more than its 
share. When we properly care for the bowel, we are automatically providing a welcome home for those favorable life -giving 
bacteria that are essential to good health. Among other things, they provide very valuable nutritional metabolites for the body to 
use in rebuilding and maintaining health. Examples are portions of the vitamin B complex, enzymes and essential amino acids, the 
increased and more efficient absorption of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. They are responsible for the synthesis of certain 
vitamins. They maintain an antibacillus coli environment. They contribute to good health in many ways we are not scientifical ly 
aware of yet. THE VALUE OF LACTIC ACID  
Milk, when first secreted from the udder of a healthy cow or other lactating animal, is sterile, but it becomes invaded by ba cteria 
almost immediately. Milk is a good medium for breeding bacteria of all kinds, good and bad. Any changes which occur in the milk 
after it is secreted are the result of bacterial action converging nutrients into other substances. If bacteria could be prev ented from 
contaminating the milk drawn from the udder, it would remain sweet indefinitely; but thi s is an impossibility. John Harvey 
Kellogg performed an amazing experiment demonstrating this fact. He immersed a one -pound piece of raw meat, slightly tainted, 
in buttermilk. The milk was changed at regular intervals. The meat remained perfectly free of d ecomposition for some 20 years. This demonstrates the efficiency of an acid medium in inhibiting decay producing, putrefactive bacteria. Soured milk is also called 
turned, fermented, curdled and clabbered milk. The Bulgarians and Turks called it yogurt; th e Russian calls it Kefir. Among the 
essential goods of some Nomadic people is a lump of casein milk curds, wrapped up to prevent its drying. This lump of casein is 
put into the milk bag containing the freshly drawn milk and allowed to remain there until th e milk sours. Then the curd ball, 
rejuvenated in the process, is returned to its wrapping. Using this process, the Nomad knows his soured milk will not rot nor  
putrefy. In this condition, the milk retains its food value until it is used up. In more recen t years, since the studies of Metchnikoff, fermented milk has been in great demand and widely used. It has been 
prescribed for better health in general and for a wide range of ailments, particularly those arising from intestinal and meta bolic 
disturbances. Metchnikoff is really the father of modern -time fermented milk. He made it popular and as the head of the Pasteur 
Institute in Paris stimulated a great deal of scientific study about the remedial value of fermented milk. He was an indefati gable 
worker on the subject of longevity. His experiments for attainment of better health and longer life attracted world -wide attention. He maintained that stasis and putrefaction of the bowel shortens life and causes diseases, early senility and premature death  for 
whic h he recommended fermented milk as the best neutralizer and antidote. He deduced this from the fact that the Bulgarians, 
Turks, Arabs, Jews and others who are addicted to the use of fermented milk as the English are to the afternoon tea, produce more  
cente narians than any other nationality, Bulgarians showing 1,500 centenarians out of every million of population. In America, 
only nine out of every million reach that age. No doubt the fact that these people use a great deal of fermented milk, and be cause it 
contains the very valuable lactic acid and the changed proteins, can be considered as a factor in their longevity. But, lest we forget, 
how about their simple fare, simple mode of living, the outdoor life they lead. Are these not just as important, perhaps  more so, as 
factors in longevity than just fermented milk. Metchnikoff inferred that their longevity was due solely to the fermented milk. He obtained a microbe which he called Bacillu s 
Bulgaricus from the casein ball the Bulgarians used to induce souri ng in freshly drawn milk of their herd, and found it would 
indeed induce souring of milk, and very rapidly. He tried to implant this Bulgarian bacillus in the intestinal tract of man, and 
thereby induce lactic acid formation, thus eventually to crowd out t he malignant microbe that may be causing putrefaction, but the 
experiment was not successful. The Bulgarian bacillus is a milk parasite. Many bacteria produce lactic acid, but relatively f ew 
grow well in the alimentary canal. Time, observation and experime ntation have proven that the bacillus bulgaricus is not viable,  
which means that when ingested, it does not thrive in the gastro -intestinal tract, but it is digested and destroyed in the stomach and 
small intestine and does not reach the large intestine. I t does not get into the colon where it is most needed. The bacillus 
bulgaricus, after being ingested, does not appear in the feces when examined. Lactobacillus Bulgaricus preparations have been  
omitted because they contain an organism foreign to the intest inal tract of man and incapable of being implanted in the human 
intestine. The lactobacillus acidophilus preparations have been retained because this organism is capable of implantation, gr owth 
and lactic acid -production in the intestine of man. The presen ce of any bacillus acidi lactici in the feces is the only real proof of 
their value as definite remedial agents in colonic disturbances, especially in constipation. Out of the more than one hundred  species 
of bacillus acidi lactici, including the bacillus yogurt, streptococcus lacticus, thermophilus, lactobacillus adondolyticus, Boas 
Oppler bacillus, lactobacillus lopersici, etc. , none thrive or can be implanted in the large intestine, other than the lactob acillus 
acidophilus. Rahe made a critical investig ation,of the implantation of L. bulgaricus. His work tends to show that although L. bulgaricus milk is 
ingested, it disappears very soon after ingestion has stopped. This investigator also points out a very significant fact - that the 
difference between L. bulgaricus and certain acid -forming bacteria, which are known to occur normally in the intestines, is so 
slight that they can be distinguished only with difficulty. He suggests that the belief on the part of some investigators tha t L. bulgaricus becomes established in the intestines was caused by their inability to distinguish between these two types. The only 
bacillus acidi lactici that can thrive and can be implanted into the adult large intestine is the lactobacillus acidophilus. Lactobacillus acidophi lus belongs to the aciduric lactobacillus group which is widely distributed in nature. This group of bacteria 
contains many varieties of related organisms. Lactobacillus acidophilus and lactobacillus bifidus are found in the gastro -intestinal 
tract of man and animals. Lactobacillus bulgaricus usually occurs in the intestinal contents of cattle. It is frequently present in dairy 
products, contaminated with fecal material from cows. The lactobacillus bifidus predominates in the infant colon. It keeps th e chil d 
from developing many infant diseases, and makes him also immune to many diseases, as long as he is fed on breast milk, for th en 
the colon is normally acid in reaction. But as the child grows older and the change of diet takes place, proteins are increas ed at the 
expense of carbohydrates and sugar - milk sugar. As a result, unfriendly bacteria begin to enter the colon, such as the bacillus coli, 
the B. Welchii, B. putreficus, streptococci fecalis, etc. Putrefaction and fermentation now are in order. Thus t oxic material - indol, 
skatol, phenol, ammonia, phenylsulphate, ptomaine, pyrrhol, cadaverin, isoamylamine, ethylamine, idroxyl -phynel, and other 
poisons - swarm in the large intestine. Within the past 50 years methods have been developed for changing the  nature of the germs that live in the intestines. Metchnikoff’s original idea that the bacillus bulgaricus was the normal inhabitant and that its presence was synonymous with long 
life has been changed to emphasis on another germ called the B. acidophilus. As already hinted, with the exception of the 
lactobacillus acidophilus, all other species of bacillus acidi lactici are not viable; that is, when imbibed, when taken by m outh, they 
are digested and destroyed in the stomach and small intestine, and, theref ore, do not reach the colon or, if they do, their number is 
negligible. L. Acidophilus is a normal inhabitant of the intestinal tract and under the influence of the ingestion of lactose  or dextrin 
can be made to predominate the intestinal flora. The ingest ion of L. Acidophilus milk with or without added lactose brings about  
the transformation of the intestinal flora more quickly and is generally conceded to be the most logical and practical method  of 
bringing about the preponderace of L. Acidophilus type of  bacteria in the intestines. By administering L. Acidophilus milk 
implantation the proliferation of the organisms in the intestinal tract are more rapidly accomplished for then there is direc t 
implantation of large numbers of viable organisms. The lactose of milk induces the multiplication of the desired type of bacteria. It is necessary that large quantities of very active cultures should be taken, and special measures must be adopted to supply  to the 
B. acidophilus, when in the colon, the carboyhydrates w hich it requires for efficient growth. The growth in the large intestine of 
lactobacillus acidophilus depends solely on starch and sugar, but more so on milk sugar. In order to change the intestinal fl ora, it is 
best to adopt the following rules. For fift een days, about eight ounces to sixteen ounces of culture of lactobacillus acidophilus, in which three large tablespoonsful o f 
lactose is dissolved, should be taken daily thirty minutes before breakfast; and for the same length of time, three large 
tablesp oonsful of lactose should be dissolved ‘many kind of fruit juices, milk, soups, broth or water, and taken daily thirty  
minutes before supper. After this, four ounces to eight ounces of lactobacillus acidophilus culture, in which three tablespoo nsful of 
lactose have been dissolved, should betaken every morning for fifteen more days. The lactose, however, should be taken as before. After this, the quantity of the culture of the lactobacillus acidophilus can be reduced to four ounces every day for fifteen more  
days. For the remainder of the time, the ingestion of the culture of the lactobacillus acidophilus, two ounces every day, may  be 
sufficient to keep the required amount of lactobacillus acidophilus present in the large intestinal tract. One must remember that the 
amount of the daily requirement of lactose, should continue to be about three tablespoonsful, morning and evening, as the dai ly 
requirement. As to the length of time that the lactobacillus acidophilus culture (together with the lactose) should be taken in order for one to 
gain the desired results depends on the severity of the condition that is being treated. However, a period ranging from four to six 
months may be necessary. A period of about three months of rest may be taken and then the procedur e, if necessary, may be 
repeated. It is possible that the taking of the lactobacillus acidophilus culture and the rest periods may have to go on for some time. When is the intestinal flora changed. The intestinal flora is changed when the stools are soft, frequent (three times a day), and free 
from putrid or rancid odor. Examination by a bacteriologist should give positive 80 and negative 20, which means 80% of the a cid 
formers and 20% of other bacteria. In a bad flora, the percentage will be the reverse, 2 0-80. Of course, a change from 20 -80 or 
worse to 40 -60 or 50 -50, is a decided improvement, but this should not be considered at all satisfactory. Old troubles may still 
continue, perhaps somewhat modified. But when the change reaches 75 -25, marked improvem ent will be evident, and the more 
complete the change of flora, the more decided will be the change for the better in the patient’s symptoms. The advantages of regularly using lactobacillus acidophilus together with the lactose mixture are obvious. Throug h not a cure -all, 
yet one would be temped to say that it should be used not only when diseases have already made their inroad, but more so as a  
preventive of disease. A few more suggestions about the lactobacillus acidophilus therapy The culture, to be eff ective, must 
contain at least 200,000,000 lactobacillus acidophilus per cubic centimeter. Although clinicians experience has been that 
lactobacillus acidophilus therapy has to be taken in large doses to be effective, there have been cases in which daily do ses even as 
small as four ounces has proved satisfactory when it was mixed with a like amount of lactose. In about 75 -80% of non -complicated 
constipation, lactobacillus acidophilus therapy has given uniform good results. The lactobacillus acidophilus cultu re should be 
used within or before the expiration date marked on the bottle. ”*  
 
INTESTINAL FLORA  
Current research into intestinal flora of the human bowel has revealed some new and valuable information for the health -seeking 
individual. (See Bibliography f or further reading. ) Dr. Paul Gyorgy of the Institute of Nutrition Academy of Medical Sciences of 
the USSR (discoverer of vitamin B -6), has determined that the main component of the normal intestinal flora of man is 
lactobacillus bifidus. Bifidus bacterium  readily establishes itself in the colon of newborns when fed mother’s milk. It is bifidus that 
is found in the nipple of lactating mothers. Very encouraging research in both the USSR and Germany have demonstrated the rejuvenating qualities of this bacter ia when it is 
well established in the colon. The only commercially -available form of lactobacillus bifidus that I am aware of comes under the 
brand name of Eugalan Topfer Forte, and can be found in your health food stores. If not locally available, address  your inquiry for 
this product and information to: Bio -Nutritional Products (see Bibliography) A program using this bacteria following the former 
instructions should bring encouraging results to those who suffer from a lack of proper intestinal flora. Ever yone should take a 
good replenishment of acidophilus culture, which can be purchased at any health food store. I recommend taking this culture 
regardless if you have been on the colema treatments or not. However, it is strongly recommended to be taken afte r the colema 
treatments. “The intestinal Flora in Constipation” by N. A. Ferri, Sr. , M. D. , Chicago, IL. ഊ55 
 
CHAPTER 7  
NATURAL METHODS AND TECHNIQUES FOR BOWEL IMPROVEMENT: A WHOLISTIC APPROACH  
There are many detoxifying agents which may be useful under various circumstances, but we need to approach detoxification from 
a “whole body” perspective. We need to do more than just take care of the bowel or liver. We must have the right chemical 
balance for the body. It is not sufficient to use a drug to provide  a chemical stimulus to “drive” the body to work right. Rather, we 
must repair, rebuild and regenerate the body as we go along. Proper breathing is important to get oxygen to the organs and ti ssues 
of the body. Exercise is good to get the blood and lymph c irculating but too much exercise in a toxic -laden body is only stirring up 
muddy waters. Lymph drainage is important. Drainage can be increased through the use of protomorphogens or through the use of  
herbal substances such as blue violet tea. Stimulating increased lymph drainage, however, is not sufficient to carry off toxins that 
may be pouring into the lymphatic system via a stagnant bowel holding five or six meals before elimination takes place or fro m a 
bowel pocket holding a mass of putrid material wh ich is being reabsorbed into the body. We dilute the God -given power of our 
body when the bowel does not eliminate eighteen hours after each meal. BACKGROUND STUDIES —MY PREVIOUS WORK  
Rather than restating work that I have written in the past it would be b eneficial for the reader to study four of my previous books. These give a good background for the work that is presented here. For instance, if you really want to know how to take care of colitis, you should know about the liquified salads. They allow bulk to 
get into the bowel in a liquefied form that is more easily digestible. Unfortunately people do not chew well enough - some have 
dentures or missing teeth that make mastication difficult - others are just lazy. Liquefied salads are a way to get the food  
reduced to an easily -assimilable size. The book Blending Magic tells how to prepare delicious foods that retain their full enzyme 
and nutrient values. Doctor/Patient Handbook describes the reversal process and the ways of taking care of the colon through  that process. Nature Has 
A Remedy is a book that covers the ways of building the body wholistically through the use of herbs, sunshine, fresh air, wat er and 
the right mental attitude. When we take care of the “whole” body with these natural, God -given rem edies, every tissue and system 
is revitalized. A New Lifestyle for Health and Happiness gives a complete program for aligning the body, mind and spirit to the good life. Complete with menus, diet control and comprehensive, self -check analysis. In an effec tive bowel management program, you will 
need to drink at least three glasses of liquid before breakfast every morning. Keep in mind that cold water will stop at the stomach,  
but warm or hot water will go directly to the bowel. If you want to go on an elimi nation program, you can use the Veico 77 or 79 
bulk and clay water. Follow directions, and use it three times a day with meals over a period of 30 days. You can add more ju ice to 
your diet during that time, and you should always take juice after the bulk a nd clay water. If it is possible, get into some extra 
bowel elimination through enemas, perhaps using clay water and coffee instead of plain water. This is a kind of elimination 
program you can use while still working at your regular job. There are other w ays to help the bowel, and I have mentioned taking 
care of the mental attitudes as well as conditions in the body. Both are very important. THE BENEFITS OF ALFALFA TABLETS  
The second thing I emphasize in the bowel management program is the taking of four alfalfa tablets with each meal. As far as I am 
concerned, this is almost a panacea. Some health professionals may think I’m going a bit overboard, but I want to tell you th at 
alfalfa tablets provide an excellent natural fiber bulk, and by stimulating the b owel to work against the fiber, we begin to  
compensate for inherent weakness, by building better tone. Juice is not suitable for this purpose because pulp or bulk is nec essary. Some will say that you should take the alfalfa tablets along with additional ch lorophyll; I don’t find this necessary, because there is 
chlorophyll in the alfalfa tablets as well. Chlorophyll is a great deodorizer, a great builder, a great acid neutralizer and one of the 
greatest foods for feeding acidophilus bacteria. I use alfalfa tablets mainly to get into the bowel pockets. I am sure this approach is 
right, because since beginning to use it, I have observed more healing signs associated with the bowel from my iridology anal yses 
than anything I have ever used. Of course, I’m kickin g a lazy dog; I’m kicking a lazy colon. Now, we may encounter a few minor 
problems. There may be more gas, more disturbance and when we have more gas, what can we do. We have to neutralize the gas, 
so I suggest adding a good digestant. The digestant should  be a whole digestant that takes care of starches, sugars and proteins. It is 
made of pancreatic substance and a little betaine hydrochloric acid. It is an all -around good digestant, but vegetarians might prefer 
to use the herbal digestants available. For  vegetarians we recommend a substance called D&F, short for digestion and flatulence  
(gas), because we may begin to stir these up when we get into the bowel pockets. I know of patients who began their diets and  
reported they had more gas than ever before. This is sometimes to be expected. Some people practically live on coffee and donuts, 
and they find they don’t have gas, but they are worn out. They have no energy. You have to “rough it out” through this initia l 
period of regeneration —this period of making  new tissue - before your digestive system will normalize. A certain amount of gas is normal for the average person. I don’t believe anybody has a perfect bowel. I think a little gas w ill be 
produced by anyone, and every farmer knows that when you give a lot of fresh alfalfa to a horse he has more gas than usual. Is that 
horse getting worse. No, it is in better condition. We find that it has a better bowel. So I believe alfalfa tablets and the digestant are 
very important. We find that the acidophilus cult ure, given morning and evening, is an excellent way of developing good bacteria 
in the bowel. At the Battle Creek Sanitarium, researchers found that meat was very detrimental to the bowel because it is ver y 
putrefactive. It is best to cut meat to a minimum  in the diet and to upgrade the intake of vegetables. More greens will help to 
develop acidophilus bacteria. Chocolate, tea (not herb teas), white sugar and coffee break down acidophilus bacteria so we mu st 
eliminate or minimize the use of such substances. A successful bowel management program requires that we go a different way. In following a program for the bowel, there are some excellent corrective exercises. There is an exercise to use on the slant  board 
which involves vigorous tapping of the abdomen w hile stretching the upper torso from side to side. This exercise gently pulls the 
bowel down in the direction of the shoulders while upside -down on the board. I’m interested in getting the bowel in the prefer 
position. I believe we have been crowding the b owel. So we must go to work on it. Doing the bicycle pedaling exercise while up -side down on the slant board is a wonderful exercise. For another type of exercise, 
lie down and take a rubber bailor tennis ball and rub it around in a circle on your abdomen. The round surface of the ball gets right 
down into the bowel and gives it an internal exercise, more so than rubbing on the outside. There are other exercises to lift  the 
bowel and manipulate the prolapsus back into position. SLANT BOARD EXERCISES  
(For Prolapsus and Regenerating the Vital Nerve Centers of the Brain) When there is a lack of tone in the muscles, we can expect 
prolapsus of the abdominal organs. The heart, lacking tone, cannot circulate blood properly throughout the body. Likewise,  
arteries  and veins cannot contract to help the blood fight gravity and get into the brain tissues. There are some people who 
apparently have tried everything to get well, who still find all organs working under par. Many people do not realize that th e 
quickening f orce for every organ of the body comes from the brain. People whose occupations require them to sit or stand 
continually are unable to get the blood into the brain tissues because the tired organs cannot force the blood uphill. If we deny the 
brain tissues  good blood in the proper amount, eventually every organ in our body will suffer. The heart gets its start from the 
brain and continues its everlasting pumping because of it. No organ can do without the brain. I attribute the success of my h ealing 
work to the very fact that I definitely recognize that the brain must be fed properly. Slanting board exercises are absolutely  
necessary to regain perfect health. CAUTIONARY NOTE  
There are many cases where the board is contra -indicated. It is best in most cases to get professional advice, for some people have 
had unhappy experiences due to the very fact they started too strenuous a program to begin with. If you haven’t done much 
exercising of the abdominal muscles, it is best to take these exercises slowly and gr adually increase them as you get stronger. Do not use the board in cases of high blood pressure, hemorrhages, some tubercular conditions, cancer in the pelvic cavity, 
appendicitis, ulcers of the stomach or intestines or pregnancy, unless under the care of a physician. The slanting board exercises 
are practically the same as any other lying -down exercises. The most important exercise is to hold on to the sides of the board bringing the knees up to the chest. This forces all the a bdominal 
organs up toward th e shoulders. While in this position, twist the head from side to side and in all directions, thus utilizing the extra 
force to circulate blood to congested areas of the head, especially bringing the stomach and abdominal organs up toward the c hest 
while ho lding the breath. Slanting board exercises are especially good in cases of inflammations and congestions above the 
shoulders, such as sinus trouble, bad eyes, falling hair, head eczema, ear conditions and similar troubles. Slanting board ex ercise is 
needed  and has helped more than any other treatment in cases of heart trouble, fatigue, dizziness, poor memory and paralysis. The 
average person should maintain the foot end of the board at chair height for all exercises, but if dizzy at first, the foot e nd of t he 
board should not be raised quite so high. Exercise only 5 minutes a day. Gradually increase time spent on the board. The aver age 
patient should lie on the board 10 minutes at 3 o’clock in the afternoon and again just before going to bed. After retiring,  lift the  
buttocks to allow the organs to return to a normal position. SUGGESTED EXERCISES (USE ANKLE STRAPS WHILE DOING THE FOLLOWING EXERCISES)  
(Numbered exercises correspond to illustrations. ) 1. Lie full length, allowing gravity to help the abdominal organs into their position. For best results, lie on board at least 10 
minutes. 2. While lying flat on back, stretch the abdomen by putting arms above head. Bring arms above head 10 to 15 times: this stret ches 
the abdominal muscles and pulls the abdomen do wn toward the shoulders. 3. Bring abdominal organs toward shoulders while holding breath. Move the organs back and forth by drawing them upward, 
contracting abdominal muscles, then allowing them to go back to a relaxed position. Do this 10 to 15 times. 4. Pat abdomen vigorously with open hands. Lean to one side then to the other, patting the stretched side. Pat 10 to 15 times ea ch 
side. Bring the body to sitting position, using the abdominal muscles. Return to lying position. Do this 3 to 4 times, if pos sible. Do 
only if doctor orders. HOLD ON TO THE HANDLES, FEET OUT OF STRAPS, WHILE DOING THESE EXERCISES:  
5. Bend knees and legs at hips. While in this position: (a) turn head from side to side 5 or 6 times; (b) lift head slightly and rotate in 
circles 3 or 4 times. 6. Lift legs to vertical position, rotate outward in circles 8 or 10times. Increase to 25 times after a week or two of exerci sing. 7. Bring legs straight up to a vertical position and lower them to the board slowly. Repeat 3 or 4 times. 8. Bicycle  legs in air 15to 25 times. Relax and rest, letting the blood circulate in the head for 10 minutes. ELEVEN -DAY ELIMINATION REGIME  
There are many eliminative regimes, and they all accomplish about the same results, through the fact that the body is g iven less 
food, simpler foods and simpler combinations, more watery foods - so a greater transition can take place in the cells of the body. This Eleven -Day Elimination Regime can be used by most persons in health, and for those who want to overcome the av erage 
physical disorder. Those who are weak or feeble, however, should not follow the plan the full eleven days without supervision. Those with tuberculosis should have both supervision and assistance. Variation, as to the length of time and the manner in  which the foods are to be taken, may be adjusted to suit the history of the 
patient. Examples: fruits, vegetables and broths can be taken for 1 day; or 1 day of just fruit; or 1, 2 or 3 days of vegetab les only. Vegetables, taken in the form of broths, gen tly steamed vegetables and salads are a safer routine for the average beg inner than 
citrus fruits. A hot bath should be taken every night during this diet regime. Enemas may be used the first four or five days, then 
discontinued for natural movements. Not hing but water and fruit juices, preferably grapefruit, should be taken into the body for the 
first three days. Drink one glass of juice every four hours of the day. The next two days fruit only - such as grapes, melons, 
tomatoes, pears, peaches, plums; dr ied fruit such as prunes, figs, peaches, soaked overnight or baked apple. In the six following days, breakfast should consist of citrus fruits. Between breakfast and lunch, any other kind of fruit. F or lunch, 
have a salad of three to six vegetables and tw o cups of vital broth. When hungry between meals, fruit or fruit juices may be taken. Dinner should consist of two or three steamed vegetables and two cups of vital broth. Fruit juices can be taken before retiri ng, if 
wanted. Rigid adherence to the diet is  an absolute necessity for anyone attempting to regain good health. Eat plenty, but not to 
satiety. VITAL BROTH RECIPE:  
2 C. carrot tops; 1 clove garlic; 2 C. potato peelings (1/2" thick); 2 C. beet tops; 2 C. celery tops; 3 C. celery stalk; 2 q t distille d 
water; 1/2 tsp Savita or Vegex. Add a carrot and onion to flavor, if desired (grate or chop). Ingredients should be finely chopped. Bring to a boil, slowly: simmer approximately 20 minutes. Use only the broth after straining. When finished with the above  regime return to Dr. Jensen’s Daily Food Regime. The above elimination regime should be followed whenever a person changes from the old ways of living and begins to live righ t. As a rule, it is wise to follow the elimination regime in any and all of the f ollowing cases: as a general cleanser two or three times a 
year; at the time of crisis; when reduction of weight is desired; when hips get too large; when joints get stiff; when the sk in breaks 
out; when constipation is present. THE MASTER CHLOROPHYLL ELI MINATION DIET  
This is a diet of just plain water, preferably using distil led water, and using one teaspoon of a liquid chlorophyll to one glass of 
water every three hours. You can also use vegetable juice, but this is a diet where we are adding iron, gath ering all the oxygen we 
can while we are breathing, and burning up the toxic waste by using the iron as found in liquid chlorophyll. Liquid chlorophy ll is 
usually made as an extract from alfalfa leaves, which is one of the highest things we have in potassi um iron, which will attract the 
oxygen to the body. Doing this for three or four days is a wonderful pre -elimination diet to fasting or to any other type of dieting. I  
consider this to be the master -cleansing diet for all catarrhal conditions. In the prese nce of greens, we find that catarrh is 
eliminated best from the body. WATERMELON FLUSH  
There are times during the watermelon season that we can use watermelon as a good elimination diet. Going on watermelon for 
three, four or five days is a wonderful kidn ey eliminant, a diuretic. We find that it helps to take out a lot of the debris in the colon 
and the extra water picks up toxic materials and carries them off. ONE DAY A WEEK FAST  
On a one day a week fast regime you can be on a juice diet or a fruit on th e one day – and rest. Many people like to go on a fast 
one day a week. This is perfectly all right if you will rest that day - but you MUST rest. You cannot expect to get the good yielded 
by a rest without food by using all of your energy and leaving yours elf depleted by working on a day that you do not eat. FASTING  
Fasting is the quickest way of bringing about elimination in the body and the fastest way of getting toxic materials out of t he body. This is done through complete rest - physical, psychologica l and psychic. As we let the body rest, it develops tone and vitality, 
more than is possible by any other procedure. I believe rest is a cure because it gives us the vitality we need to throw off toxic  
material and to eliminate the debris that has been acc umulated over a period of years. We can literally withdraw toxic 
accumulations through a fast. We find that there are many ways to fast. I think the better way is to take a half glass of wat er every 
hour and a half throughout the day. If it is a hot day, y ou may need more water and it is all right since you perspire more. Be sure 
not to take big gulps of water at one time. The water should be cool but not ice cold. Take daily enemas the first few days, then 
reduce this to every other day or every third or f ourth day, depending upon the length of time you fast. While you are fasting you 
should rest as much as possible. If you hike or walk, do it on level ground. Do nothing to the point of tiring. This is impor tant in 
fasting. JUICE FASTING  
I don’t think it’s  any particular juice that will cure anything - but I believe the rest you give your body allows it the opportunity to 
reverse the disease and recover your health. It’s the rest from food and the simple diet that does the trick. The lack of too  many 
food m ixtures and less demand made on our digestive and eliminative systems help us to overcome disease. The carrot juice diet 
involves taking one glass of carrot juice every three hours or more if you like. You can do this for ten days, twenty days or  even 
longer. I had one man on carrot juice for a whole year. That is a long time. This particular man lived in Monrovia and had an  
extreme condition of the bowel but through the carrot juice diet, he got rid of it. Dr. Kirschner, who wrote the book on juic e 
therapy, came here to talk over this man’s case because he found out how I had kept him on juices for so long a time. The man  
passed off mucus and catarrh continually from that bowel. It was almost unbelievable what was eliminated - being even black at 
times. This was simply accumulated toxic material that was necessary for him to get rid of. BREAKING A FAST  
In breaking a fast, if you go five, six or seven days on water, then go one or two days on juices, either vegetable or fruit. Take one 
8-oz glass ever y three hours. You have eliminated the enemas one or two days I beforehand and you are starting in to work for 
good bowel movements now. I After the two days of juices, start the first thing in the morning on the third day with sliced o r 
peeled oranges. Th e bulk of an orange is probably one of the finest things for the bowel. If you do not want to use oranges, you can 
use a finely shredded carrot that has been steamed or wilted for one minute. This acts to help clean out the toxic materials. You can 
do this  for breakfast and lunch. Then for the evening meal, you can start out with a small salad. Have a glass of juice at 10:00 am and again at 3:00 pm. The next day you can have fresh fruit for breakfast along with juice. Have juice at 10:00 am. For lunch, you can have a small salad and juice. Have another glass of juice at 3:00 pm. At the evening meal you can have a salad, one cooked vegetable and juice. The next day you can have the same as the day before, except that you could have an extra vegetable at  noon and again at night, if 
desired. You may also have an egg or a tablespoon of nut butter for the morning meal. The next day, you will start on Dr. Jensen’s Regular Diet, except for no starches. The day following, you can have both starches and proteins  in your diet. NOTE:  
Here is a simple thing for you to remember when considering the basic requirements for good bowel management. Your food 
should in some way contribute to the BLM in the bowel. BLM is Bulk, Lubrication and Moisture. These three combine to provide 
an ideal bowel environment. Bulk creates the mass whereby good evacuation is assured. Lubrication provides an easy flow of 
materials through the digestive tract all the way to the anus. Moisture prevents the drying out of feces and constipation from 
developing. If your food item does not contribute to BLM, then don’t eat it. GRAPES  
Four pounds of grapes a day is a good amount for a grape diet and you should average a pound or so every three hours. These 
grapes should be the grapes that have seed s since these are the most vital of all grapes. Man has gone to using hybrid foods too 
much. Those foods that were brought to us in the beginning are the foods that have lots of seeds. They are the vital foods. S o I 
believe the grapes that have seeds are t he best. The Concord, Fresno Beauty, Red grapes and Muscat, all are good grapes to use. I 
don’t say that you have to use the seeds. You can chew them finely if you like. A good thing to help eliminate catarrh is fou nd in 
cream of tartar which surround the seeds. So make sure you get all the material off the seeds when you are eating them. When 
chewing grape skins, you’ll find that they are very bitter but that bitterness is high in potassium. Potassium is a great cle anser in 
the body. Gayelord Hauser made h is name with potassium broth. It is a great cleanser and detoxifier in the body. Especially in the 
beginning of the grape diet, I think you should use enemas. Toxic materials accumulate and it is well that we keep things mov ing 
along. You can go on grapes five to ten days without any supervision, but if you stay on them longer, it is well to have someone  
around who has been used to giving the grape diet. That person should be able to take care of you with any reaction you might  
have that may be strange to y ou. Many times these reactions are nothing more than a healing crisis or an elimination process. WATER REMEDIES  
Sitz Baths. Water should come up five inches on the body. The feet are never in the water. The baths should only be for the p elvis 
and the pelv ic organs. This is wonderful for congestion in the pelvis and sluggish bowels. These baths are best taken in the evening 
just before going to bed. However, they can be taken the first thing in the morning before going to work. The cold sitz bath is an 
effective, though violent way of stopping bedwetting. Take cold water, sitting in it four to five minutes every morning before 
going to school or before beginning the daily program or routine. This will help with bladder and prostate, problems in gener al. A  
gentler approach is to take two sitz baths every morning. The first for one minute, hot; the second for one -half minute, cold. Do 
this for five changes, going from one to the other. The treatment should continue for a period of three months. BENEFITS OF THE ENEMA  
Enemas can be beneficial in restoring healthy bowel regularity. This is why I believe enemas should be used every day for a y ear 
by those who have problems with a sluggish, irregular or underactive bowel. Many ingredients can be added to enema water to 
increase its effectiveness in some specific manner. Coffee enemas help detoxify the liver. Flaxseed tea enemas relieve 
inflammation in the bowel. Bentonite, a clay water, when added to enema water assists in absorbing and mobilizing toxins from  
the bowe l wall. Acidophilus culture taken orally is helpful in detoxifying the bowel and in building friendly bacteria. Acidophilus 
implants can also be inserted rectally over night. I believe that each of the many health professions and approaches to health care  have a special value. I do not believe, however, 
that any therapeutic method —no matter how sophisticated - can effectively overcome disease in a toxic -laden body. The toxins 
must be eliminated first. Nor do I believe that any drug -based therapy can restor e or rejuvenate tissue damaged in the course of 
chronic disease. Only nutrients from foods can do that. I believe when we work with nature, we get the results nature intends  us to 
get. A clean body nourished by natural foods and uplifting thoughts will put  anyone on the path to right living that brings health as 
a natural consequence. It is interesting to note that the famous beauty queen, whom I knew, Mae West, was a great believer in  the 
benefits of the enema. She started every day with a morning enema. I ’m sure that this simple practice greatly contributed to her 
unusual vitality, bright -mindedness and long lasting attractiveness, as true beauty is but a reflection of the beauty within. A WORD ABOUT COLONICS  
Colonies, as administered today, vary greatly in their effects due largely to the expertise of the colonic technician. We feel that in 
some respects colonic therapy is taking advantage of people by making them believe that long and costly treatments are necess ary. Also water applied under pressure is potentially hazardous. Those individuals with known or suspected serious bowel problems  
should approach pressurized colonic treatments with extreme caution. Those practitioners who administer colonic therapy prope rly 
are offering a useful service to the pu blic. This service can be greatly enhanced with the addition of sound dietary counseling so  
as to eventually overcome the need for colonic therapy. Without this knowledge, the colonic recipient is merely digging holes  and 
filling them again —a net zero towa rd building a better health quality. Many professionals giving colonies today are getting 
successful but temporary results. The reason for this is that just getting rid of the toxic waste in the bowel is not the com plete 
answer, although it is the first st ep along the correct path. Unless proper exercise, diet and right living are practiced, good and 
lasting results will not be achieved. We must be interested in making bowel tissue changes. REVITALIZING BROTH  
This is a broth that was used during my sanitar ium work dealing with very sick people who had to be nourished back to health. It is 
very easy to digest. Use 5 or 6 of these non -gas-forming vegetables, such as: Beets, carrots, potato peeling, celery, parsley, okra (if 
possible), chayote pear or any squa sh. Do not use any of the sulfur vegetables: cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli or onions. Add: 1 C. cut up vegetables; 1 pint water; 2 tablespoons Soybean Milk Powder. After either liquifying, blending or shredding vegetables, place in a pot with other ingred ients and let simmer 3 -5 minutes over a 
very low flame. This is only to break down the fiber and release enzymes. Strain and use. CHAPTER 8  
INTRODUCTION TO THE ULTIMATE TISSUE CLEANSING SYSTEM  
I’ve given colonics to people who have expelled grape seeds an d they had not eaten grapes for nine months. Where had those 
seeds been. I’ve seen popcorn come out of a person when they hadn’t had popcorn for three years. Where had it been. We 
accumulate these things in the mucous membrane that holds toxic material in various folds of the intestines. It was very hard for  
me to believe this could happen. Just a short time ago, I went through the Ultimate Cleansing process, and I can attest to th e 
wonderful results I experienced. For those who have asthma, an extreme elim ination program will help you more than anything; 
and for those who suffer with arthritis, 1 have seen many receive relief within ten days after participating in this program. I can tell 
you about cases and relief that came to those who have taken care of the bowel. It is a means of keeping the body clean. “Cleanse 
and purify thyself and I wilt exalt thee to the throne of power. ” Energy which flows through our body is dependent upon a cle an 
body. For example, here is a case that was quite striking to me. One of the women on the program who is in her early fifties, had medical 
laboratory tests taken that showed a triglyceride reading of 938 mg/dl (Normal is 150 -200. ) and a cholesterol reading of 348 mg/dl. After one week on the Ultimate Cleansing Program, t he triglyceride dropped to 253 and the cholesterol to 277; obviously a 
dramatic change occurred. There is a mucous membrane that lines the last six feet of the intestinal tract of the large colon. I never 
believed this tract could be so mucus loaded, black  and toxic, but I had the chance to see this while on the Ultimate Cleansing 
Program myself. In this process, you use an intestinal bulk. This bulk is mixed with clay water and is taken five times a day  
followed by a second drink of natural apple cider vin egar and honey. Hot water carries food or any material to the colon, while 
cold water and food stop at the stomach. This is why we do not believe in cold food or drinks after meals; this stops digesti ve 
processes at the stomach level. We find that hot drin ks will get to the bowel and start things moving along. The instructions for the 7 -day cleansing pro -gram are more detailed in the next section. Now there are ways of breaking down the 
mucous membrane. How did you happen to get this heavy mucous membrane. You were not digesting your foods properly. In 
those who don’t digest food properly, the pancreas isn’t working well, so they can get relief by taking Pancreatic tablets. M ost of 
this heavy mucus, I believe, has been developed by undigested foods. By put ting this excess amount of pancreatic material in the 
body, you can readjust what the pancreas should have done in the past when the body was overloaded with starches, sugar, etc. We 
are now going to readjust this so it will tear down the mucus that holds all of these materials. I believe the digestant will also help 
break off the mucous lining from the bowel wall. I believe this because I’ve been on several elimination programs and this on e rids 
the bowel of the mucous lining. When the liver hasn’t been wo rking too well and we are a wee bit on the slow side in moving the 
bowel, it may help to take beet tablets. Further, we may want to take Spring Green or Green Life tablets. No food will be eat en 
during this time. You have only a small amount of juice mixed  with the bulk and the rest is water. The vitamins and minerals in 
tablet form are all food, so you won’t feel hungry. You won’t lose much weight on your first cleansing elimination. There are more vitamins and minerals to take and I think one to be consi dered is niacin. This pushes blood to all the different 
organs in the body. Niacin will give you a hot flash and a flush; we want the blood to get to the bowel wall at this time. Th ere is a 
product called Calphonite which is colloidal calcium and is taken twice a day, morning and night. At night, cod liver oil is added 
which will control and fix calcium in the body. Calphonite is a refined lime product with a very high absorption rate which 
promotes the dissolving of precipitated calcium settled in the join ts. THE CLEANSING PROGRAM  
I would like to discuss one of the most important aspects of the bowel management program, the one most neglected and the one  
no one wants to talk about. I think we are all in a bowel mess because we grew up like Topsy, and now w e have to talk about it. We have to begin to correct old errors by learning the right way to take care of the bowel. Cleansing, detoxification and 
elimination are words we all hear. but they are seldom used in connection with the bowel. When I look over al l the programs that 
were developed to take care of the bowel and all the various techniques we’ve had in bowel cleansing, I have come to the 
conclusion that a real cleansing process should be one that reaches every cell in the body. In general, we can say that the blood is 
only as clean as the bowel, and since the blood circulates through every organ in the body and reaches every cell in the body, 
toxins in the blood due to a dirty bowel contaminate the entire body. To properly cleanse the body tissue we mu st start by a  
thorough cleansing of the bowel. We have to utilize energy to rid the bowel of toxic material. We find, too, that the bowel h as 
to take care of acids. Catarrh elimination through the bowel is actually part of our own body being eliminated. No w, I’ve heard the 
bowel called a cesspool and I’ve heard it called the dirtiest part of the body. I point this out because the average person d oesn’t 
want to talk about it; such discussion is thought to be socially unacceptable. Bowel problems should be di scussed, however,  
because most people need some help. There is nothing to be ashamed of in discussing the bowel. It is merely a natural part of  the 
body. Care of the bowel should be a routine part of a total health program. Bowel action is one of the end r esults of metabolism: 
the elimination of broken down cells and tissue plus the fermented and putrified food wastes. Bowel action is far worse when there 
is a lazy colon. The colon is made up of muscle structure that moves toxic materials along by peristalt ic motion, and if there is 
flabby muscle structure throughout the body, you can be assured that the bowel is even flabbier. “IT’S NOT ONLY WHAT YOU EAT —IT’S WHAT YOU ABSORB THAT COUNTS”  
In managing the bowel, there are ways to get good results, and first of all, we must change the diet. Unless we do this, we w ill 
become “doctor shoppers. ” The symptoms just stay with us because we aren’t dealing with the cause of the problem. Every organ  
in the body works with every other organ. The body is a community of various organs working for the good of the whole human 
being. A short word on intestinal cultures before the story. While I was at the Battle Creek Sanitarium, Dr. DeFoe, who delivered t he 
famous Dionne quintuplets in Canada, telephoned Dr. John Harvey Kellogg and said he was about to lose two of the babies 
because of their poor bowel conditions.
