"Let's have the truth though the heavens fall."   Herbert Shelton
INTRODUCING...
Dr. Stanley S. Bass, N.D. D.C. Ph.D.,
Natural Hygiene doctor, whose research about the best human nutrition for optimal health and freedom
from disease has great interest for anybody concerned about their health and eating habits.
Beginning in 1936 by testing a disease/recovery theory on himse lf, at the age of 19 -- making it today
more than 65 years of study and writing
-- Would it be possible to test what the best nutrition is for superior health and long life? -- What is the
key to having lots of energy? Can low energy cause depression? -- Which might be the healthiest of the
so-called "healthy diets"? -- How could one TEST the many nutrition theories in existence? -- What
would an optimal diet look like? -- Is it possible to put together an all -raw vegan diet that does not cause
deficiencies? -- How can you recover from any disease on your own?
Some of his fascinating conclusions you will find on these webpages.  Others in books and booklets written by Dr. Bass.
Stanley S. Bass began the study of nutrition in 1936 (see "My First Water Fast").  In his late 20's he was introduced to Natural
Hygiene by Dr. Christopher Gian -Cursio and worked closely with him for over 40 years.
He graduated from The American School of Naturopathy in 1955, from Columbia Institute of Chiropractic in 1959, and in 1953 he
graduated from the N.Y. Institute of Dietetics as Dietician. Dr. Bass earned a Ph.D. in Public Health & Nutrition from Trinit y Hall
College & Seminary in Springfield Illinois. Dr. Bass is IAHP -certified as a "specialist in fasting supervision and hygien ic care".
Dr. Bass has been a Natural Hygiene doctor since the 1950's in the New York area, supervising thousands of fasts and health
recoveries using diet. He also had a hygienic retreat in the Catskill Mountains,  the Life Science Health Haven . Currentl y he does
not have an in -patient clinic, but is still giving personal advice and assistance over the phone. Due to his healing success and
knowledge he is  Knight of Malta .

Dr. Bass is currently working on a book on indigenous people, nutrition and health. "What were the changes in health patterns
after the introduction of modern staple foods to indigenous people living under primitive conditions?"
Dr. Bass is interested in correctly updating our understanding of drug -free nutritional healing with modern scientific findings.
Also, Dr. Bass is one of very few Natural Hygiene doctors who is not restricted to vegetarian diets.

Dr Bass' Dog & Cat Food tip:
If you feed your dog raw meat/chicken scraps and intestines, plus up to 25% uncooked leafy greens (lettuce, kale etc.,for
minerals), plus raw bones to chew on - your dog has a good chance to live 50% longer than on dry food - with fewer vet bills.
How to get your dog to eat the leafy greens? - blend it to almost liquid, then mix it with a little  ground or chopped -up raw meat
(chicken, fish) or an egg. - The same applies to cats, and other carnivore pets.

Optimizing	Your	Physical	Pathway
This	chapter	began	with	a	comparison	between	your	body	and	your	car.	Your
car	will	provide	better	service	and	last	longer	if	you	take	good	care	of	it.	Even	an
old,	beat-up	car	can	be	restored	to	good	function	with	tender	loving	care.	The
same	is	true	of	your	body.	To	move	yourself	in	the	right	direction	on	the
physical	pathway,	maintain	your	body—with	good	nutrition,	exercise,	sleep,
proper	breathing	and	natural	sunlight—	and	protect	your	body	from	physical
harm,	including	loud	noises,	sunburn	and	radiation.	Making	even	minor
adjustments	to	your	physical	pathway	can	make	a	big	difference.	As	always,	the
choice	is	yours.9

“Genetics	may	load	the	gun,	but	environment	pulls	the
trigger.”
Pamela	Peeke,	M.D.,	M.P.H.
Fight	Fat	After	Forty
O
ne	of	the	most	manipulated	terms	in	conversations	about	health	is	the	word
“genetic.”	Almost	weekly	in	the	news,	genetic	discoveries	are	announced,
proclaiming	the	genetic	origins	of	a	myriad	of	problems—from	cancer	to
compulsive	shopping.	Scientists	usually	describe	a	gene	as	being	associated	with
a	particular	disease	(rather	than	directly	causing	it),	but	the	details	become
distorted	and	misinterpreted.	Many	are	confused	about	what	genes	are	and	how
they	work.
We	end	up	being	misled	into	believing	that	genes	control	health
directly—which	is	not	accurate,	because	the	environment	we	create	for	our	cells
controls	the	expression	of	our	genes.
While	true	genetic	diseases	do	exist,	they	affect	less	than	5	percent	of	the
population.	Heredity	is	trumped	by	environment,	and	you	control	your
environment.	You	have	control	over	the	rate	at	which	you	age	and	the	diseases
that	you	will	(or	will	not)	develop.	Turn	the	right	genes	on,	and	keep	the	wrong
genes	off.	Health	is	not	about	genes;	it	is	about	cells.	Once	again,	we	are	in
charge.	Use	the	six	pathways	to	optimize	the	health	of	your	cells,	and	you
control	the	expression	of	your	genes.
Will	the	Weakest	Link	Fail?
What	about	the	genetic	predisposition	to	disease	we	hear	so	much	about?
What	about	health	problems	that	“run	in	the	family”?
Think	of	a	genetic	predisposition	to	disease	as	a	weak	link	in	a	chain—a	weak
link	with	the	potential	to	break,	but	only	if	excessively	stressed.	In	the	right
environment,	the	weak	link	will	function	just	fine.	If	the	chain	does	break	(if
sickness	does	occur),	it	is	not	accurate	to	say	that	the	weak	link	(the	“bad”	gene)
is	the	sole	trigger	of	the	problem.	Excess	biological	stress	is	the	trigger,	and	this
we	can	control.
By	enhancing	the	function	of	cells,	genetic	predispositions	can	remain
potential	problems,	rather	than	becoming	real	problems,	regardless	of	what	“runsin	the	family.”	Unfortunately,	people	often	give	up	to	their	genetic
predispositions,	relieving	themselves—at	least	in	their	own	minds—of
responsibility	for	their	actions.	The	genetically	predisposed	person	might	say
nonchalantly,	“There	is	nothing	I	can	do;	weight	problems	run	in	my	family”	(as
they	gulp	down	a	burger,	fries	and	large	shake).	The	thinking	that	genes	and
germs	are	the	primary	factors	determining	our	state	of	health	is	outdated	and
fatalistic.	Genes	and	germs	are	factors	worth	considering,	but	they	are	not	the
causes	of	disease	that	we	typically	understand	them	to	be.
Let	us	consider	genes,	what	they	are,	how	they	work,	and	what	we	all	can	do
to	put	the	potential	for	health	back	into	our	own	hands,	regardless	of	which
genes	we	have	inherited.
Nature	Versus	Nurture
Genes	are	the	blueprints	or	“plans”	for	life;	they	are	the	instructions	that	tell
our	bodies	how	to	develop	from	one	single	cell	into	an	entire	human	being.
However,	only	about	one-quarter	of	our	genes	express	(“turn	on”)	automatically,
determining,	for	example,	whether	our	eyes	are	blue	or	our	hair	is	curly.	Imagine
most	other	genes	as	a	set	of	coded	instructions	that,	much	like	a	computer
program,	sit	dormant,	essentially	doing	nothing,	until	you	activate	them.
Most	genes	require	some	sort	of	trigger	(environmental	or	psychological)	in
order	for	them	to	express.	Just	because	a	certain	trait,	“bad”	or	“good,”	runs	in
the	family	does	not	mean	that	every	person	in	the	family	possesses	that	trait	or
will	express	it	even	if	they	possess	it.	We	often	worry	far	more	than	we	need	to
about	genetic	inheritance.
Most	important	is	the	environment	you	create	for	your
cells	based	on	what	you	eat	and	how	you	live	your	life.
You	cannot	control	your
heredity;	you	can	control	the	environment	you	create	for	your	cells.
Rather	than	thinking	of	genes	as	an	absolute	and	unchanging	set	of
instructions,	one	might	think	of	them	as	a	variety	of	possibilities—a	set	of	“what
if”	instructions.	If	certain	circumstances	are	present,	then	a	person’s	genes
express	in	a	particular	way;	if	other	circumstances	are	present,	those	same	genes
express	in	a	different	way.	Biochemist	Roger	Williams	maintained	that	genes
alone	are	entirely	useless	threads	of	chemicals.	Genes	alone	do	not	determine
our	sickness	or	health.
If	genes,	in	the	form	of	cellular	DNA,	were	the	primary	control	of	the	cell—if
they	were	the	“brain”	of	a	cell,	so	to	speak—then	the	cell	would	die	without
them,	but	this	does	not	happen.	Scientists	commonly	perform	a	process	called
denu-cleation,	a	process	whereby	the	nucleus	of	a	cell	and	its	DNA	are	removed.After	this	process,	cells	continue	to	perform	normal	functions	for	months.
Consider	how	changes	in	diet,	lifestyle	and	environment	over	the	past	one
hundred	years	have	coincided	with	massive	increases	in	rates	of	chronic	disease.
For	example,	in	1900	cancer	affected	only	3	percent	of	the	U.S.	population;	now
about	50	percent	of	all	men	and	40	percent	of	all	women	develop	cancer	in	their
lifetime.	Our	environment	has	changed	so	radically	that	blaming	disease
increases	solely	on	inherited	genes	is	illogical.
Consider	how	environmental	factors	can	affect	genetic	expression.
Environmental	temperature,	for	example,	affects	the	expression	of	genes	that
control	the	coloration	of	Himalayan	rabbits.	These	rabbits,	accustomed	to	cold
temperatures,	usually	have	black	ears,	forepaws,	noses	and	tails,	but	when	raised
in	warm	temperatures	they	have	no	black	markings	at	all.	Same	rabbits,	same
genes,	but	different	environments	and,	therefore,	different	expressions	of	genes.
Similarly,	plants	with	the	genetic	capacity	to	flower	and	fruit	only	do	so	when	a
precise	set	of	environmental	requirements	(such	as	temperature,	sunlight	and
moisture)	“turn	on”	the


ed state. But it will loosen your bowels and give you an
internal enema in a short time. Cleaning you right the way through. All the bad
stuff goes out the back, this is cleaning the inside of your body.
You don’t need to do external enemas with a kit. The good stuff that your body
decides is good for you goes to your bladder. You can loop this throughout the
day like a very fine tea. Each time I loop every few hours I use a small amount to
clean my hands, face and neck. This is the best antibacterial hand wash and at
the same time also the best moisturiser you could ever get. It is just like applying
the best moisturiser in the universe several times per day.
Carry on looping all what your body decides is good for you, (and each time put a
little on your hands, neck and face), which is your very own orin your elixir of life throughout the day. Right through to about 20mins before 5pm, or whenever you
chose your one hour eating window. It’s important not to consume anything
outside your eating window that will start the digestive system off and take you
out of a fasted state. Don’t even lick a stamp! And certainly no chewing gum or
even oral sprays. You will then have so many more good hormones and
beneficial substances in your elixir. Human growth hormones increase by
thousands of percent. More on this later.
Don’t listen to those who say you can have tea, coffee and other drinks on omad.
Even bottled mineral water and certainly tap water has thousands of things in it
that need to be processed by the body. If you need to drink water then make
sure it’s pure h2o with zero parts per million of anything. Get a good table top
distiller and make your own pure water.
Even aged urine will take you out of a fasted state because it is no longer exactly
the same as what’s in your blood. So I drink my aged urine at the start of my 1
hour eating window.  I have to repeat this because it is so very important.
Absolutely anything apart from your own fresh orin or pure distilled water will
take you out of a fasted state. Your insulin levels will go up, your body will stop
cleansing and healing and will stop the increased production of HGH and so
many other wonderful substances manufactured in your body.
Your own elixir ultra filtered blood plasma is the only drink that has goodness
that won't take you out of fasted state; it is bio available and will not restart your
digestive system. It’s liquid you, going back into you. It goes back into the blood
exactly the same as what's already there. No processing needed. Your body
recognition of it means the goodness can go directly where it is needed without
needing to be processed. This is true of the urine you have been collecting
overnight, it’s still recognised by your body as already you.
When you go 20+  hours in fasted state continually there are many beneficial
hormones and compounds that increase by thousands of percent. How do we
know this? From tests of the urine. Think about that. To say it correctly, “if you
go 20+hours in a fasted state then your human growth hormone goes up 2000%
in your urine!”  Testosterone and human growth hormone for example increases
by 2000% or over 20x in the urine of men who continued to fast for 20 hours or
more per day. Your urine is a snap shot of you. The test showed thousands of
percent increase in many beneficial compounds, all these substances are in your
elixir of life and if you re-ingest these, the body can use them again and benefits
from them again and again. This is why Omad Orin Looping is so amazing
compared to other dieting programmes.
If you research intermittent  fasting you soon come across the studies that show
human growth hormones going up by about 2000%. But most of those people
don’t say it correctly; they leave the last few words out which are critical. The
last few words are, “IN YOUR URINE!” All the studies show that fasting for 20+hrs
a day increase human growth hormone by 2000% in the urine. This is key. Its not
just HGH, but also every other beneficial substance that your body makes all
increase by a large amount. The amounts are different per substance and each individual situation. Bearing in mind that there are still an unknown number of
substances made by the body that are as yet unidentified by science. These
substances are made by your body for your body and haven’t yet been named or
even identified, but they are all in your urine. You can trust your body, you don’t
even need to know the names or what they are for, just trust your body.
One final point about what you can trust and what you can’t. Can you really trust
any pills or other substances you are taking into your body? No you cannot. But
you can trust your urine. Can you trust any water source you drink into your
body? No you cannot. Bottled water companies lie to us, there have been found
all sorts of harmful things in most bottled drinks, water or any other drinks. You
know for sure you can’t trust mains tap water. Don’t get me started on the
harmful things in mains water. Can you trust rain water? No you can’t these
days; there are so many pollutants in there getting worse every year. Even on a
recent mountaineering expedition some other experienced mountaineers were
filling their bottles from a water fall. I did not need to because I was looping a lot
every hour and was slightly over hydrated. That evening everybody who drank
from the waterfall had a bad stomach. We still don’t know why, we can only
guess, but everybody who drank from the waterfall had the same symptoms. The
point being you can’t trust any water source apart from what your body gives
you every day.
For me it is like drinking a 'light and clean' redbull. Which is why I dont drink it
just before I want to go to sleep. It gives you an instant energy boost and it gives
you 'extra’ awareness. High quality Orin gives you wings.
Remember that on omad the quality of your orin increases many times. The
amazing substances made by your body for your body increase by up to
thousands of percent. You don't need to take in any synthetic substances; your
body knows what is best for it. You can buy synthetic versions of lots of these
substances which are very bad for you.
The natural versions manufactured by your body are very good for you and you
can increase these by thousands of percent on omad orin looping. For example
not only melatonin increases, there is a compound known as muramyl dipeptide.
Simply put, it mirrors the action of seratonin, another well-known calming
hormone. Also a high boost of natural DMT and other incredible substances like
melatonin which are very powerful natural super drugs. There are many more
substances that are as yet undiscovered and unknown to humans. These can
promote faster healing with clear urine, while 23:1 fasting. Real pure DMT for
example made by your body for your body has profound impacts on the brain
and the pineal gland. Just think about the other amazing products in your urine
that we don’t even know about yet. We don’t even need to know, just trust your
body.
During times of happiness and joy, good news or good feelings; delicious food,
enjoyable times, in these situations our brains produce chemicals called neural
transmitters. They give us the great feelings of energy, excitement and
happiness. Without these chemicals we wouldn't feel such emotions during such happy circumstances. These chemicals are soon in your blood and then in your
orin. The next time you loop you will get a hit of these substances and the
feelings that come with them again and again. These chemicals and these
feelings are very good for you. The more you have of them the better version of
yourself you can be to yourself and others.
The way to free up the pineal gland and make it fully healthy, functioning, fired
up and full on; if you fast for 23hrs per day. And if you’re really smart, the
ultimate way to do it is you act as the oroborus, you drink your own water, and
you drink your urine, you keep looping urine over and over again.
The chlorine, the fluoride, which are both halides, in the drinking water go
directly to the pineal gland and freeze it, turn it into a stone, calcify it. When they
do autopsies on people in fluoridated societies, they find fluoride at about 5 to 10
part per million through most of the body. But when they get to the pineal gland
during the autopsy, it’s at 22,000 ppm. It goes there like a magnet, having a rock
in the very, very centre of your head, at your, most important, most precious
gland for thinking, that would be the obvious very first place you’d want to look
for problems. And the beauty of distilled water is that it melts that. Most people
aren’t aware that there is a massive conspiracy to hide the knowledge of distilled
water.
In that article by Dr Mercola trying to turn people away


 is new, the process itself is not. There
have always been patients who do not follow the normal
course of healing. A tiny minority, for example, do not
waste away from cancer; others have tumors that grow
much more slowly than what the statistics for their
diseases predict. Many cures that share mysterious origins
—faith healing, spontaneous remissions, and the eﬀective
use of placebos, or “dummy drugs”—also point toward a
quantum leap. Why? Because in all of these instances, the
faculty of inner awareness seems to have promoted a
drastic jump—a quantum leap—in the healing mechanism.
Consciousness is a force that most of us undervalue.
Generally we do not focus our inner awareness or use its
real power, even in the most diﬀicult moments of crisis.
That may account for why “miracle” cures are greeted with
a mixture of awe, disbel ief, and reverence. Yet, everyone
possesses consciousness. Perhaps these miracles are
extensions of normal abilities. When your body mends a
broken bone, why is that not a miracle? As a healing
process, it is certainly complex, far too complex for
medicine to duplicate; it involves an incredible number of
perfectly synchronized processes, of which medici ne knows
only the major ones and those imperfectly.
The reason why curing cancer by yourself is a miracle but
mending a broken arm is not comes down to the mind-body
connection: The broken bone seems to mend itself
physically, without the intervention of your mind; yet, a
spontaneous cure of cancer—so it is widely believed—depends on a special quality of mind, some deep will to live,
a heroically positive outlook, or some other rare capacity.
This implies that there are two kinds of healing, one that is
normal, the other abnormal, or at least exceptional.
I belie ve that this distinction is false. The broken arm
mends because consciousness makes it mend, and the same
holds true for the miraculous cancer cure, the long-term
survival of AIDS, the healing by faith, and even the ability
to live to a great old age without falling prey to disease.
The reason why not everyone manages to take the healing
process as far as it can go is that we diﬀer drastically in our
ability to mobilize it.
We can see this in the way that diﬀerent people react to
disease. A minute fraction, far less than 1 percent, of all the
patients who contract an incurable disease manage to cure
themselves. A larger fraction, but still under 5 percent, live
much longer than average—this is conﬁrmed in the 2
percent of AIDS patients who have survived longer than
eight years, while the vast majority do not survive beyond
two. These ﬁnding s are not restricted to incurable disea ses.
Studies have generally shown that only 20 percent of
patients with serious but treatable disorders recover with
excellent results. That leaves nearly 80 percent who either
do not recover or only partially recover. Why is
unsuccessful healing so far out of proportion? What marks
a survivor as opposed to a non-survivor?
Apparently the successful patients have learned to
motivate their own healing, and the most successful have
gone much further than that. They have found the secret of
quantum healing. They are the geniuses of the mind-body
connection. Modern medicine cannot even begin to
duplicate their cures, because no cure that relies on drugs
or surgery is so precisely timed, so beautifully coordinated,
so benign and free of side eﬀects, so eﬀortless as theirs.
Their ability springs from  a level so deep that you cannotgo any deepe r. If we knew what their brains were doing to
motivate their bodies, we would have the basic unit of the
healing process in our hands.
—
As yet, medicine has not taken the quantum leap, and the
word quantum  has no clinical application. Because
quantum physics works with ultra-high-speed accelerators,
you may think that quantum healing uses radioisotopes or
X rays. But that is the opposite of what it means. Quantum
healing moves away from external, high-technology
methods toward the deepest core of the mind-body system.
This core is where healing begins. To go there and learn to
promote the healing response, you must get past all the
grosser levels of the body—cells, tissues, organs, and
systems—and arrive at the junction point between mind
and matter, the point where consciousness actually starts
to have an eﬀect.
The quantum itself—what it is, how it behaves—takes up
the ﬁrst half of this book. The second half then blends the
quantum into Ayurveda, making a marriage of two cultures
while trying to arrive at one answer. The scientiﬁc
worldview of the West surprisingly supports the vision of
the ancient sages of India. This is a journey that breaks
down barriers and ignores cultural fences. To me, the
whole story has to be found out. Chitra asked  me for it, and
so I am writing for her and all patients like her. Until they
ﬁnd an answer, their lives still hang in the balance.
EXPANDING THE TOPIC
Much can be said in favor of consciousness aﬀecting the
body, to the extent that the gap between “normal” healingand “miraculous” healing has closed even more over the
past few decades. The main obstacle, as far as mainstream
medicine is concerned, is a ﬁxed belief that the body
operates entirely like a physical machine. If that were so,
the following experiment would have failed.
The experiment was the brainchild of the pioneering
work of Harvard psycholo gist Ellen Langer, who as far back
as 1981 was testing the possibility that aging has a major
mental component. (The notion is actually ancient in origin.
The medieva l Indian philosopher and sage Adi Shankara
declared that people grow old and die because they see
other people grow old and die.)
In 1981, Langer took eight men in their seventies, all in
good health but exhibiting signs of age, and immersed
them for ﬁve days in an environment that was like time
travel going back to 1959, including the music and
television of the period, along with the movies and events
in the news. The men were told to act as if they were their
younger selves, becau se Langer had alrea dy done
experiments in which memory loss in the elderly could
sometimes be reversed by giving subjects an incentive to
remember. In other words, the mind was being motivated
to aﬀect the body.
Before enter ing the time-capsule environment, the men
were tested on various markers of aging such as grip
strength, dexterity, and how well they could hear and see.
At the end of the ﬁve days, the group had improved on
seven out of eight measures, including better vision, a
startling ﬁnding. They looked  younger as assessed by
outside judges. Thirty-three years ago Langer was
proceeding more or less intuitively, without the knowledge
into gene expression and neuroplasticity that we can turn
to today (more on those breakthroughs in later “Expanding
the T opic” sections).In another startling experiment, Langer went into a
retirement home and divided her subjects into two groups.
Both were given some houseplants for their room. One
group was told that they were responsible for keeping the
plants alive, and that they could make choices in their own
daily schedule. The other group was told that the staﬀ
would tend the plants, and in addition they were given no
choice in their ﬁxed daily  schedule. At the end of eighteen
months, twice as many subjects in the ﬁrst group were still
alive compared with the second group. (The same rationale
lies behind the accepted practice of giving the elderly a pet
to take care of. At the very least it improves their mood and
quality of life. It may prolong their lives as well.)
Aging and healing have in common that they have long
been viewed as ﬁxed processes based on strict physical
limitations. An invisible factor like making your own
choices abou t how to spend your day never ﬁgured into the
calculation. This bias has been shifting for quite a while,
but only the beginning signs were evident when Quantum
Healing  appeared. Today what’s important isn’t the
acceptance of conscious ness as a factor in healing—that
battle has been won, more or less. Instead we need a set of
new assumptions about how far consciousness can go to
alter healing and aging, not to mention intractable chronic
pain, addictions, dependency on prescription  drugs,
recovery from surgery, and so on.
Here are the basic assumptions I’d suggest:
1.Mind comes before matter.
2.Mental choices originate the messages that change
organs, tissues, and cells.
3.The body is ﬂuid and dynamic, not ﬁxed and
determined.4.Genes express whatever a person desires. They
operate through switches that the mind can access.
5.The mind-body system is a feedback loop where input
and output have many determinants, including
lifestyle, environment, behavior, beliefs, and past
conditioning.

Healing	by	“
Grounding”
Most	of	us	intuitively	feel	good	being	in	nature.	You	may	not	realize	that	there
is	actually	a	word	for	making	direct	contact	with	the	earth,	but	actually	there
are	two:
grounding
	and
earthing
.	Both	terms	refer	to	the	healing	that	takes	place
from	making	direct	contact	with	the	earth.
There	are	now	studies	that	show	that	grounding	has	major	benefits	for	health
as	well	as	beauty.	For	instance,	a	study	published	in	the
Journal	of	Cosmetics,
Dermatological	Sciences	and	Applications
	found	that	even	an	hour	session	of
making	direct	contact	with	the	earth	restored	the	regulation	of	blood	flow	to
the	face,	helping	to	enhance	skin	tissue	repair	and	improve	facial	appearance.

Our	intrinsic	connection	with	nature	is	so	great	that	just	by	making	direct
contact	with	it,	our	skin	beauty	measurably	benefits!	Mother	Nature	indeed	can
be	a	powerful	supporter	of	our	skin	and	overall	health.
How	does	touching	the	earth	actually	improve	our	health	and	beauty	beyond
just	feeling	“good”?	Just	touching	the	earth,	which	is	electrically	conductive,
2
neutralizes	free	radicals	and	brings	you	back	in	sync	with	the	earth’s	energy
field.	Upon	contact,	the	negative	ions	from	the	earth’s	surface	rush	into	our
bodies	to	discharge	the	many	unpaired	positive	ions	(or	free	radicals)	we’ve
picked	up	from	modern	living.	These	free	radicals	stem	from	regular	exposure
to	environmental	pollutants,	heavy	metals,	radiation,	toxicity,	and	chemicals	in
the	food	supply.	Those	free	radicals	are	associated	with	disease,	aging,	and
inflammation,	but	when	you	expose	your	bare	skin	to	the	soil,	sand,	or	grass,
the	healing	powers	of	the	earth	neutralize	them	to	keep	inflammation	and
aging	in	check.
Think	about	how	soothing	it	feels	to	dig	your	heels	into	the	sand	during	a
day	at	the	beach.	Now	there	is	science	to	prove	what	we’ve	intuitively	felt	allalong:	contact	with	the	earth	really	is	healing	and	necessary	to	achieve	Radical
Beauty.	A	paper	by	Dr.
James	Oschman	in	the
Journal	of	Alternative	and
Complementary	Medicine

	explains	how	“electron	deficiency”	from	not	making
enough	contact	with	the	earth’s	surface	causes	the
immune	system	to	suffer	and
inflammation	to	spiral	out	of	control.
Free	radicals	are	some	of	the	biggest	offenders	when	it	comes	to	aging,	and
neutralizing	them	with	negative	electrons	from	the	earth	quells	inflammation
and	slows	or	prevents	many	chronic	diseases.	A	study	published	in	2013	found
that	grounding	has	some	beneficial	effects	on	cardiovascular	risk	factors.
4
	It	was
surmised	that	this	is	because	contact	with	the	earth	naturally	thins	the	blood.
Other	research,	from	2011,	showed	that	grounding	improves	heart	rate
variability,	which	is	not	only	beneficial	for	the	heart	but	for	reducing	stress.
5
Lowered	stress	levels	can	help	allay	aging.
6
	Grounding	also	helped	alleviate
muscle	soreness	in	some	research,
7
	possibly	due	to	better	circulation,	blood
pressure,	and	blood	flow.	This	is	important	from	a	beauty	standpoint,	as	better
circulation	of	nutrients	and	oxygen	will	ensure	beautiful,	healthy	skin	and	hair.
HELP	FOR	BONE	HEALTH	RIGHT	FROM	THE	EARTH
The

	discussed	a	possible
reduction	in	the	likelihood	of	developing	osteoporosis	due	to	less	loss	of	calcium
and	phosphorus	through	urinary	excretion
8
	when	subjects	spent	time	earthing.	The
loss	of	these	minerals	over	time	is	tied	to	the	development	of	osteoporosis,	so
finding	out	how	to	reduce	the	loss	could	do	wonders	for	bone	health	and	to	help	us
maintain	a	beautiful,	upright,	and	graceful	structure.
How	to	Get	Grounded
Grounding	couldn’t	be	easier—and	it’s	free!	All	you	have	to	do	is	touch	the
earth	whenever	you	can	and	as	much	as	you	can.	Here	are	some	general	tips:
•
Make	as	much	contact	as	possible	directly	through	your	bare	feet,	whether	it
means	popping	your	shoes	off	at	the	local	park	or	just	walking	around	in
your	backyard.
•
Even	a	few	minutes	spent	in	contact	with	the	earth	is	beneficial.	Try	to	work
it	into	your	life	regularly.	You	can	read	with	your	feet	on	the	earth,	or	have	a
conversation	with	friends	while	strolling	barefoot	through	the	park.	If	they
need	extra	motivation,	share	with	them	how	it’s	been	proved	to	be	good	for
skin	health	and	reducing	aging	and	inflammation.•
If	you	have	access	to	a	grassy	backyard,	a	nice	park,	or	just	a	field	of	grass,	lie
down	sometimes	so	your	spine	has	full	contact	with	the	earth.	You	can	even
try	taking	a	nap	on	your	back	in	the	grass;	you’ll	wake	up	feeling	radically
recharged.

Miche’s Healing Homemade V eggie Broth
Wash and cut up one potato, one onion, two carrots, two stalks of
celery, and one beet, and add chopped parsley. Fill your pot with
spring water (non-chlorinated), and bring it to a boil for ten minutes.
Reduce the heat so that it simmers for thirty minutes. Consume only
the broth—no solids. This is a nourishing experience for the body
after dry fasting.
Spring Green V eggie Broth
Wash and cut up three cups of kale, three cups of spinach, one cup of
peas (fresh or frozen) three tablespoons of fresh turmeric root, three
tablespoons of fresh ginger root, three tablespoons of parsley, and two
tablespoons of coconut oil. Add all ingredients to a large soup pot as
you chop them. Fill the soup pot with at least two to three quarts of
fresh spring water.ST ARVING TO HEAL IN SIBERIA | 22

Keep the heat on a low setting so that the mixture simmers for
thirty to sixty minutes, depending on your time constraints in the
kitchen. Do not bring to a boil. With a ladle, put three cups of the
mixture into your Vitamix blender, and blend until everything is
smoothly combined. Your broth will have a spring green color. You
may consume the broth for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and you may
also consume the vegetables in the broth. Do not add any additional
seasonings or oil.
Miche’s Swamp Juice
In your Vitamix, put one teaspoon or more of spirulina powder, chlorella
powder, and raw cacao powder. Add one frozen banana. (I like to buy a
bunch or two of ripe bananas, peel them, break them into pieces, and put
them in a glass storage container to freeze them for smoothies.)
Add one cup of spinach or arugula, or even cilantro, which is one of
our household favorites.
Add at least one cup of nut milk or more if desired—enough to
create your desired consistency. Blend at high speed until the mixture is
smooth; consume it immediately.
Homemade Almond Milk
Soak one to two pounds of organic raw almonds overnight in a bowl full
of spring water. In the morning, drain the water and rinse the almonds.
Place them in the Vitamix blender with two cups of spring water per
pound of almonds. You may add one to two dates to the mixture, taking
care to de-pit them. Blend the mixture on high speed until it’s smooth.
(I blend them for at least two minutes.) Place your nut milk bag over
a wide-mouth container. Gradually pour the blended almond mixture ST ARVING TO HEAL IN SIBERIA | 23

from the Vitamix into the nut milk bag. Squeeze the bag so that the
almond milk comes out cleanly into the wide-mouth container. I like to
use glass Ball jars. Add desired spices, such as cardamom, vanilla, cinna -
mon, or nutmeg. Drop in a few grains of Himalayan sea salt if desired.
Cover the wide-mouth container with a lid and shake the almond milk
with the added spices. Consume within a few days.
Dr. Filonov’s Russian Compote “Exit Juice”
The cooks at Dr. Filonov’s center in Altai don’t use measuring cups.
The best way to make compote is to size up your pot. I encourage
you to use a small pot the first time, and add two chopped apples,
or two chopped pears, and either a few dried apricots or a handful
of blueberries and raisins. These fruits work best. Then fill up your
pot with spring water. If you have two cups of cut fruit, perhaps aim
to add four cups of water. Cover the mixture, bring it to a boil, and
then turn the temperature down to let it simmer for thirty minutes
or longer. You can even let it simmer on very low heat for a couple of
hours, as they do in Siberia. Only consume the compote juice, and
make sure that it’s served hot. This nutritious liquid is essential for
rebuilding glycogen stores during exits from extended fasts. I find
that a little goes a long way, but the Russian patients say, “The more
Kompot, the better!”
Miche’s Chopped Broom Salad
In your hand-held vegetable chopper, add the following: one half cup
of coarsely chopped red cabbage, one half cup of coarsely chopped
fennel, one half cup of coarsely chopped greens (such as kale, spin -
ach, cilantro, arugula, etc.), one medium beet, three tablespoons of ST ARVING TO HEAL IN SIBERIA | 24
Copyrighted Material
parsley, and one half of a peeled and deseeded lemon. Optionally, you
can add one half of an avocado. Tightly close the cap on the vegetable
chopper, and pull the cord at least twenty times to chop the vegeta -
bles until they are very finely grated. Enjoy plain if you’re on the first
days of your exit from fasting. Take care to therapeutically chew even
though the salad is finely chopped. If you have passed the critical
early exit period, then you may add a few grains of Himalayan pink
sea salt, a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, or a tablespoon of tahini
to the chopper before you begin pulling the string. That way, they will
be nicely blended into your broom salad. Enjoy as often as you wish!
Variations: Include any vegetables from the sample grocery list to this
mixture that you may be craving. The body may have a certain request
that you may wish to honor.
Garnish: You may wish to chop half of an avocado to place on top
of your salad before you consume it.

   The physical changes which cooking produces in foods are
clearly marked. They involve primarily the destruction of
cellulose material of plants. Such destruction may result from
different methods of food-processing, of which cooking is
only one. The effects of this change in the physical state of
foods appear to have a definite reaction upon the health of the animal organism, and are particularly detrimental to the
parodontal structures. They have a pronounced effect upon
digestion, assimilation, and the movement of foods through
the intestinal tract. As a cause of disease they rank of possible
importance, and existing evidence would indicate they may be associated to some degree with senility and longevity.

RAW FOOD IN EXPERIMENTAL
STUDY
THE THEORETICAL BASIS  for the results of using raw and
cooked foods has been considered from the standpoint of
biochemistry and physiology. It has indicated the manner in
which cooking alters food. It would appear at first glance that
these alterations would lower the value of the food and render
it much less nutritious and valuable to animal life. For confirmation or refutation of this logical assumption, we must
turn to applied science in the fields of nutrition and biology.
Here many studies of animals which have used both cooked
and uncooked diets under controll ed experimental conditions
have been made, and they provide rather conclusive evidence on the entire subject.

G
ENERAL EXPERIMENTAL DATA
   Among the first scientists to study cooking in its application
to animal nutrition were Weill and Mouriquant of France. In
1912, as they were conducting their celebrated experiments
with pigeons to determine the effects of refined flour, they
added a less known series of experiments, also with pigeons,
to determine the effects of cooking. A number of pigeons were fed whole raw grains; the others were given the same
kind of grain, entirely whole, without any kind of refining,
only this grain was thoroughly cooked. The pigeons given the raw grain showed great activity and vigor. They gave every
indication of being perfectly nourished. Those given the
cooked grains developed beriberi and all died paralyzed
within ninety days. Other pigeons were then given two-thirds
cooked grain and one-third raw grain, which was sufficient to
give complete freedom from beriberi symptoms.
   While Director of Nutrition Research under the Research
Fund Association in India, the celebrated British scientist, Sir
Robert McCarrison, followed with the first large scale
experiments with white rats which revealed the effects of
cooking. One thousand pedigreed albino rats were placed on
a diet of raw cabbage, raw carrots, raw milk, raw meat, unleavened bread, and sprouted legumes. Two thousand rats
were then placed on a diet of white bread, margarine, tinned
meat, tinned jam, boiled tea, boiled potatoes, boiled cabbage,
and a small amount of milk. All animals were given the same
general care. The laborator y was ke pt perfectl y clean ; the tiled floor and walls were freque ntly washed. The cages were
large and spacious, so each rat could run about and exercise
as it pleased.
   The rats given primarily uncooked foods were remarkably
healthy in all respects. From all appearances they suffered
from no diseases whatsoever, and all mothers reared their young. At the end of two and a quarter years, corresponding
to 55 years in man, all rats were autopsied. The only trace of
disease found was an occasional cyst in the liver, which was
assumed due to the straw bedding which the rats often nibbled.
   The 2, 000 rats eating mostly cooked foods soon began
developing a wide assortment of diseases—practically every ailment that one might find listed in any medical textbook.
Foremost among these, as revealed in the post-mortem
examinations, were: tuberculosis, arthritis, Bright's disease,
gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, glandular enlargements,
inflammation of the eyes, anemia, loss of hair, infected teeth, infected tonsils, middle-ear disease, corneal ulceration, and
skin diseases of various types. In addition the rats seemed to
be affected mentally. In contrast to the raw food rats, which
were gentle and affectionate, these animals became ill-
tempered and vicious. They would bite the attendant, kill each other, and generally display a state of continuous
nervous irritability.
   Following the rat experiments, McCarrison used twenty
monkeys in a new series of tests. All animals except one were
in perfect condition when the experiment began—the
exception being the result of a slight injury sustained by one
monkey during capture. Nine of the monkeys were placed on a diet consisting chiefly of raw foods, including wheaten
bread, milk, ground nuts, fresh onions, fresh butter, plantains,
and water. Six were given wheaten bread, cooked rice, cooked ground nuts, boiled milk, fresh butter, and water. The
other five were given a similar assortment of cooked foods,
fresh onions and water, plus a little fresh butter. All animals
were provided with the same amount of exercise, sunshine,
fresh air, etc. The only difference in their mode of life was their diet, involving the condition (cooked or uncooked) in
which the food was given.
   Regarding the monkeys fed primarily uncooked foods,
McCarrison stated: "They remained in good health, with the
exception of an attack of jaundice in some of them; this was
thought to be due to the sudden lack of exercise, as well as to
the too generous provision of monkey-nuts which in the earlier sta
ges of the ex periment were not limited to 10 grams. The jaundice was corrected by reducing the diet to milk and
bananas for a few days, and adding magnesium sulphate to
the drinking water. After recovery, which occurred in all
cases, the diet, as above detailed, was used without recurrence of jaundice or any untoward symptoms
whatsoever. "
   The monkeys given cooked foods developed troubles from
the very start. Diseases were common and every animal died
within 43 to 100 days. Average length of life of those given
the cooked foods plus onions was 60 days. Those allowed a
little butter each day lived an average of 69 days. The postmortems of these monkeys indicated the presence of
dozens of physical abnormalities and ailments. These
included: dilation of the stomach, gastric catarrh, stomach
ulcers, duodenal catarrh, degeneration of the mucous
membrane, congestive changes in the jejunum and ileum, ballooning of the small bowel, atrophy and thinning of the
walls of the small intestine, colitis, ballooning of the colon, atrophy of the omentus, and cancer of the pylorus.
   Experiments with guinea pigs, to determine the effects of
cooked foods, were conducted by Dr. O. Stiner, an
investigator for the Swiss Board of Health in Berne,
Switzerland. Dr. Stiner placed a large group of these animals on a diet of their normal foods (hay, oats, carrots, and water)
which would normally be taken raw, but in this case were
cooked in a high pressure steamer. A large number of
diseases appeared shortly thereafter. The teeth became
softened to such an extent that they could be cut away with scissors. Gangrenous gingivitis developed, and the jaws
softened and warped until the rows of teeth overlapped and
would not close in the normal manner. The salivary glands became diseased and the animals developed both goiter and
anemia. In certain cases two teaspoons of pasteurized milk
each day were added to the diet, and this was followed by the
development of another disease, arthritis. Most of the guinea
pigs died of scurvy, with a smaller number succumbing to
cancer of the lung.
   In America, Dr. Rosalind Wulzen and Alice Bahrs, of the
Department of Zoology in Oregon State College, also used
guinea pigs in their experimental  work. Efforts were made to
determine the effects of pastuerized milk. The animals were
divided into four groups which were given whole raw milk,
whole pasteurized milk, raw skim milk, and pasteurized skim
milk respectively.
   "Animals fed raw whole milk grew excellently and an
auto
psy showed no abnormalit y of an y kind" Dr. Wulzen reported. Animals fed pasteurized milk did not grow as well,
and developed stiffness of the muscles. Within a period of a
month to a year they died after showing signs of "great
emaciation and weakness. " The autopsy revealed that the muscles were extremely atrophied and streaked with white
lines of calcification. Lumps of tricalcium phosphate were
found deposited under the skin, in the joints, the heart, and
other organs.
   In addition to guinea pigs, white rats were used in the tests
at Oregon State College, these being reported by Bahrs and
Hughes. The animals given pasteurized milk gained weight less rapidly than those given raw milk, and on autopsy the
hearts were found to have a flabby appearance. The adrenal
glands were of a pale color and there were small areas of
apparent atrophy. The livers and skeletal muscles also
exhibited a very pale color, as compared

 not limited to: excessive

diarrhea; numbness; tingling of the arms, legs, hands and feet; skin eruptions
and gas.
During this cleansing and healing process, old symptoms of past diseases
or weaknesses may return and then disappear as the body heals that particular
area. These are old, toxic problems that were originally suppressed; and now
the body has worked its way into these areas to rebuild and restore normal
tissue function. In one case, an Amish woman who had poison ivy over
twenty years ago had treated it with chemical medications and “cured” it
(supposedly). On her detoxification program, her poison ivy came back in
exactly the same places where she had treated it before. This was amazing
even to me. You can clean out old, suppressed toxicity from when you were
a child, or even from when you were still inside your mother’s womb.
LIMITING OR STOPPING THE USE OF PHARMACEUTICALS

If you are taking chemical medications and you wish to limit their use, or stopthem completely as you approach this process of detoxification and
regeneration, here are some of the things that I, personally, would do:
FIRST
 — This program normalizes blood sugars. If I were a diabetic, I
would watch my sugars
daily and adjust my insulin accordingly or have my
doctor help me.
SECOND
 — This program lowers blood pressure when it is too high, and
raises it when it is too low. If I were taking medications for high blood
pressure I would monitor my blood pressure regularly. I would not want to
give myself hypotension or low blood pressure. This could make you faint,
have equilibrium problems, or worse. It’s not wise.
THIRD
 — I would always reduce my use of medications slowly. However,
high blood pressure and diabetes may require a more rapid termination of
medication and can be done without side effects.
Some medications “lock” you in and cause your body to become
addicted to them. This is especially true with neurological medications and
some steroids like prednisone. Always ask your doctor to help you. If he or
she refuses, then you have no choice but to do it for yourself. Many medical
doctors get angry and upset if their patients try to help themselves. Many if
not most allopathic doctors have no training and education in detoxification
and regeneration; therefore they tend to disparage what they don’t know.
This viewpoint leaves many disgruntled people to seek their own ways. This
is one reason why this book is being written. Remember, it’s always your
choice. Live healthy, live medication free.
Note: It is rare to have reactions between herbs and medications.
However, it is always possible. Simply observe yourself and how you feel.
You will know if the things you are taking are reacting with each other or
not. Use common sense and work with your natural health practitioner.
Summary

Most individuals do not experience many of the previously explained
symptoms. In general, the more toxic the person, the stronger the “healing
crisis” that may occur. Always remember that a healing crisis is very
important and extremely beneficial. The symptoms or discomforts are all part
of the cleansing process, as the toxins and poisons in the body must be
expelled.Generally the healing crisis is short-lived, so give it time and be patient.
Be sure you are eating all raw foods—mainly fresh fruits and fresh juices.
Most fruits have strong antioxidant and astringent properties for helping the
body rid itself of toxins. If you do not feel like eating, do not eat. Let the
body rest and be sure to drink plenty of fresh juices or pure water. Do not let
the body dehydrate.
If your diet is 80 percent or more of fresh, raw, uncooked fruits and
vegetables, all your symptoms will be due to the “process of detoxifying” that
your body is putting itself through. If your diet is 50/50, your symptoms may
be more of an acid condition. This can keep your healing crisis hanging on
for days.
You may also wish to use botanical formulas to assist the cleanse.
Resting and having a positive mental attitude are essential as well. If the
healing crisis has lasted more than two to three weeks and you need a break
from this process, just begin eating cooked foods again. This will lower the
body’s energy causing the cleansing action to stop. However, it is highly
recommended to push the cleansing as long as possible. Detoxification
always
 leads to vitality. In the end, detoxification will bring vibrant health,
vitality and spirituality.
MODULE 6.6
The “Healing Crisis”

The following are some examples of the “Healing Crisis” that can happen
during the cleansing processes. During my thirty years of detoxification
experience I have witnessed so many different types of healing “crises” that I
do not have the space to cover them all. This section deals with the most
common side effects, many of which I have undergone from my own
detoxification efforts.
I have divided these cleansing side effects into three categories: Mild,
Moderate and Strong. Each of these levels may be experienced at one time or
another. However, most people do not experience the strong levels. It all
depends upon one’s level of toxicity, combined with his or her systemic (total
body) energies or strength.MILD CLEANSING EFFECTS

Cold and flu-like symptoms
Low-grade fevers (99°–100° Fahrenheit)
Coughing with or without discharge
Clear and yellow mucus discharge from nose or throat (lungs, bronchi,
etc.; this mucus may include blood)
Minor aches and pains
Mucus in stools
Mucus in urine
Loss of energy (may go up and down)
Rashes and itching
Disease symptoms increasing temporarily
Mucus from eyes
Mild headaches
Minor blurred vision
Minor vertigo
Weight loss (average 8-15 lbs. in two weeks. Depends upon level of
thyroid weakness. Can be as little as 2 lbs.)
Chills
Emotions rising up, such as mild crying, anger or even laughter
Short term nose bleeds
Some rectal bleeding (hemorrhoids or lesions)
Minor blood in urine
MODERATE CLEANSING EFFECTS

Symptoms of bronchitis or pneumonia
Heavy discharges of green to brown mucus from nose and throat (lungs,
bronchi, etc.)
Pain in joints
Heavy discharge from kidneys (urine color changes to brown, orange or
dark yellow, etc.)
Pain in old injuries or in degenerative areas of the body
Minor paralysis of limbs
Chronic fatigue symptomsNosebleeds
Spasms of the lungs in asthma/emphysema/ C.O.P.D.
Moderate shortness of breath (asthma, emphysema, C.O.P.D.)
Temporary increase in tumor size
Disease symptoms magnifying (short-lived)
Sores appearing on the skin
Oozing of innumerable substances from the skin, especially from the
hands and feet
Bruising
Weak muscle breakdown (muscle built from meat protein)
Heavy mucus discharge from eyes and ears
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Cellulitis “clumping”
Dizziness and/or vertigo
Minor heart palpitations
Loose teeth (minor)
Minor abscesses in mouth
Migraines
High-grade fever (103° to 105° Fahrenheit)
Deep coughing (sometimes dry). Use herbs to loosen and eliminate
(expectorate) the impacted mucus.
Depression or anxieties
Emotional releasing (crying, anger, laughter, etc.)
Heavy thoughts (lack of clarity)
Skin splitting where heavy toxins exist
Excessive itching
Mercury tooth fillings can be pushed out by the body
Rectal bleeding from past or present hemorrhoids or lesions
You may experience one or several of the above cleansing effects. Don’t
panic. You want these. I love to see dark-green mucus coming out of my
patients. That’s an excellent sign that they are doing the program correctly
and are benefiting from it.
It is always smart to work with a qualified healthcare practitioner who
has had advanced experience with detoxification and its side effects.
STRONG CLEANSING EFFECTS
Paralysis of any part of the body
Black mucus discharges from the lungs
Heavy brown discharge or blood in the urine with associated kidney pain
Heavy black discharge from the bowels with diarrhea
Tumors popping out all over the body
Loss of sight
Loss of hearing
Severe dizziness (or vertigo)
Severe fatigue
Abscesses developing all through the mouth
Loss of fingernails or toenails
Excessive weight loss (this can result when a pancreatic weakness exists)
Severe shortness of breath (use an antispasmodic or inhaler)
Temporary deep depression, released through crying, anger, laughter,
etc.
Mental confusion
Skin cracking open
Teeth becoming loose (major)
Old suppressed symptoms (like the case of “poison ivy”) reappear
Most people do not experience this severe level of detoxification. It
depends upon the individual and how toxic he or she is. How many
medications a person is taking is also a factor. A few people who have chosen
to suppress their body’s need to cleanse itself (through steroids like
prednisone) will have some deeper issues. However, those who are more
likely to experience the severe effects are the chronically toxic from birth,
who manifest cancer, H.I.V. and/or other serious illnesses


  for the time  to try and  explain;  but it did not arrive
while  the  Class  was  on there.  Afterwards,  a letter  came
from  this  blessed  one.  The  Messenger  had  made  the call to
Beloved  Saint  Germain  to go and  show  her  the  Truth.
Simultaneously,  she  was  impelled  to make  the Call.  The
time  had  arrived  for the Communication,  and  with  very
great  firmness,  she said:  "Now  if this  communication  is not
from  Saint  Germain,  see it does  not occur,"  and  it did not
occur!  Then,  she knew  the Truth  of the Words  the Mes-
senger  had  said  to her.  It was  not Saint  Germain  commu-
nicating  with  her;  and  the blessed  one  was  set Free  then
and there.  It was  a Magnificent  Thing.  She  was  a most
earnest  person,  who  believed  absolutely  she was  right;  yet
the Messenger  knew  instantly,  she was  being  deceived.
A number  of instances  of this  kind  have  occurred,  so I
prompt  you,  Dear  Ones  tonight,  don't  accept  those  things,
unless  some  very  Definite  Powerful  Proof  has been  given;
because  the sinister  force,  or that  which  We call the sinister
force,  which  is discordant  human  creation,  tries  to hold  its
reign  over  mankind.
In twenty-four  hours,  the Service  which  has  been  ren-
dered  your  city  here,  is delightful  beyond  words.  Thou-
sands  and  thousands  of discarnate  entities  have  been  taken DISCOURSE  VIII  147
from  your  city in twenty-four  hours!  You  have  no idea  how
mankind  is affected,  by the Individuals  who  cannot  leave
the Earth,  who  long  for association  with  human  Beings.
Remember  always,  the Mercy  of the Great  Law  which  has
made  possible  This  Service  for the Earth!  Do you  realize,
only  a few  years  ago,  This  Service  could  not have  been  ren-
dered;  because  enough  of the Free  Will  of the Individual
could  not be set aside,  until  the Great  Cosmic  Law  made  It
possible.
Do you  understand?  I feel  you  do not just  understand
what  We mean,  when  We speak  of the Great  Cosmic  Light.
It is an Activity  of the Law  of Life  for the Earth,  directed
by a Group  of Masters,  which  the  Messengers  refer  to as
the Great  Central  Sun.  That  Cosmic  Light  is projected  into
the Earth,  by These  Great  and  Mighty  Beings  Themselves;
a Consciously  Projected  Activity,  Dear  Ones!  It is not an
involuntary  activity,  when  We  refer  to the Great  Cosmic
Light;  but It is projected  by This  Group  of Cosmic  Beings
who  govern  This  System  of Planets.  In the seven  physical
planets,  to your  System,  it acts  as a "V"  shape,  and  your
Earth  is at the lowest  point.  You  came  down  this  side  (the
left side)  and  you go up this side,  (the  right  side)  You  came
down  here  consciously,  by turning  your  attention  away
from  your  own  "Mighty  I AM  Presence."  You  kept  lower-
ing and  lowering  the rate  of vibratory  action  by your  atten-
tion on things,  instead  of the Presence;  until  you  find  your-
self in your  present  state  of density.
Now,  you  will  begin  ascending  into  These  Planets  above 148 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
the Earth.  Venus  is your  next  one  above  the Earth  on the
upward  trend.  Therefore,  Beloved  Ones,  that  is why  Venus
and the Great  Kumaras  have  been  and  were  Those  who
of Their  Own  Volition,  offered  Their  Service  to the Earth.
They  offered  It to mankind  to whom  They  could  give  As-
sistance;  because  mankind  must  in its next  step,  go to the
Great  Ones  on Venus,  if the people  do not make  their  As-
cension  here  now.  I do not mean  in the next  embodiment,
but one  day  the Advance  of the Light  within  Individuals
impels  them  into  certain  localities.
Those  who  are  now  in the  Understanding  of their
"Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  making  the Call  for Assistance,
and decree  for their  Ascension  in this  embodiment,  can
have  Help.  Should  they  for any  reason  not accomplish  it,
they  will  carry  This  Exact  Knowledge  with  them;  when
they  have  thrown  off the body.  They  will  go into  the Octave
of Light  and  continue  their  Instruction  of the "Mighty  I
AM Presence."  When  they  come  back  into  embodiment
again,  they  will  bring  with  them  in childhood,  This  Full
Understanding  of the  "Mighty  I AM  Presence"  and  the
Application  of Its Laws.  They  will  then  make  the Ascen-
sion quickly  in the next  embodiment.
That  is the Far-reaching  Power  and  Understanding  of
your  Presence!  It is why  the Messengers  have  said  to you
and why  We  say to you:  "It cannot  fail in any  manner."
As the Messenger  has  said  to you  so often,  if you  will  do
but One  thing  in an emergency;  still  yourself  and  say:
"I AM,"  "I AM,"  "I AM,"  you  would  release  the Power DISCOURSE  VIII  149
of your  Presence  into  action!  Then  and  there,  when  you
utter  Those  Words  firmly  like  that,  It is Divinity  announc-
ing Its Power  and  Action  at your  point  in the  Universe,
where  It is expressed.  There  are no words  in the vocabulary
of any  language  which  touch  one  thousandth  part  the
Power  of Those  Two  Words—"I  AM."
That  is why  We  ask  all, please,  in all reference  to your
God-head  or to Divinity,  use  the  Words  "I AM"—or
"Mighty  I AM  Presence"!  Do not  go on using  your  old
terminology  or the things  which  you  have  known.  They  do
not carry  the  Same  Power  as the Words  "I AM"—your
"Mighty  I AM  Presence."  Think  of what  It means,  in the
vibratory  action,  to say:  "My  'Mighty  I AM  Presence.'"  Its
Power  is released  into  and  thru  your  body,  every  time  you
say that;  and  if you  say It with  Great  Firmness  and  Deter-
mination,  then  the Intensification  of your  Presence  and  Its
Energy  which  beats  your  Heart,  is released  into  and  thru
your  body  into  action.
There  is another  point,  I want  to refer  to tonight.  Beloved
Ones,  why  do not all have  the Clearness  of the vibratory  ac-
tion in the  brain,  which  gives  them  the  Clear  Direction
from  the Higher  Metnal  Body ? Because  of various  things
which  have  caused  the density  of the brain  structure;  until
it does  not vibrate  rapidly  enough,  to let the Direction  of
the Presence  come  thru.
Shall  I make  another  Very  Drastic  Statement  to you?
There  is not One

Our bodies have a natural self-cleansing for maintaining a
clean, healthy body and our "river of life" – our blood. It’s essential
we keep our entire bodily machinery from head to toes healthyand in good working order so nothing breaks down!
Fasting is the best detoxifying method. It's also the most
effective and safest way to increase elimination of waste buildupsand enhance the body's miraculous self-healing and self-repairingprocess that keeps you healthy and youthful.
If you prepare for a fast by eating a cleansing diet for 1 to 2
days, this can greatly facilitate the cleansing process.  Fresh varietysalads and organic vegetables, fruits and their juices, as well asfruit pep drinks and green drinks (alfalfa, barley green, chlorella,spirulina, wheatgrass, etc.) stimulates waste elimination. Freshfoods and juices can literally pick up dead matter from yourbody and dispose of it. After pre-cleansing period start your fast.
Daily, even on most fast days, we take from
1,000  to 3,000
mg. of mixed vitamin C powder (C concentrate, acerola, rosehipsand bioflavonoids) in liquids. It’s a potent antioxidant andflushes out deadly free radicals. It also promotes collagenproduction for new healthy tissues and it’s also important if youare detoxifying from prescription drugs or alcohol overload.
A moderate, well planned distilled water fast is our favorite
or the introductory fast of diluted fresh juice (35% distilledwater). Both can cleanse your body of excess mucus, old fecalmatter, trapped cellular, non-food wastes and help removeinorganic mineral deposits and sludge from your pipes and joints.
Fasting works by self-digestion. During a fast your body
intuitively will decompose and burn only the substances andtissues that are damaged, diseased or unneeded, such as abscesses,tumors, excess fat deposits, excess water and congestive wastes.Even a short fast (1 to 3 days) will accelerate elimination fromyour liver, kidneys, lungs, bloodstream and skin. Sometimes youwill experience dramatic changes (cleansing and healing crisis)as accumulated wastes are expelled. With your first fasts youmay temporarily have cleansing headaches, fatigue, body odor,bad breath, coated tongue, mouth sores and even diarrhea asyour body is cleaning house. Please be patient with your body!
After a fast your body begins to healthfully rebalance when
you faithfully follow The Bragg Healthy Lifestyle. Your weekly24 hour fast removes toxins on a regular basis, so they don'taccumulate. Your energy levels will rise and shine – physically,mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Your creativity expands.You will feel like a "new you" – which you are – you are being
cleansed, purified and reborn.  Fasting is a miracle!
You are what you eat, drink, breathe, think, say and do! – Patricia Bragg

 black
hole because of the effort we all exert to avoid existential anxiety, fears
about just being here on earth. Keeping away from a black hole seems like a
good tactic, but it isn’t the same as healing. If left unhealed a black hole
only gets larger until it becomes a gaping wound. The largest wound you
can have is the wound of separation, the trauma of losing love, spirit, God.
This is the primal black hole; it breaks you off from the source of love,
peace, and joy.
Someone who hasn’ t healed this primal absence will have no energy to
cope with life in any but the most basic ways—the black hole will seem to
undermine all optimism and meaning; there will be a floating sense of dread
that may not be felt directly but that drains the vitality of existe nce. This is
the condition known as despair. Approaching the primal black hole results
in feelings of devastation, deprivation, being stripped to the bone, and
massive fear of death. The follo wing is a test based on primal fears about
survival.
Answering as honestly as you can, how many of the following things do
you think could happen to you before you are seventy years old? (If you are
already over seventy, how many do you think might still happen to you?)I might lose my job and be out of work for a year.
I might lose my house.
I might be audited by the IRS.
I might get cancer.
I might be arrested.
I might go bankrupt.
I might lose my family.
I might get a divorce.
I might be fired.
I might be humiliated over an af fair or other sexual misconduct.
I might have a heart attack.
I might be cheated out of a lot of money.
I might be sued.
I might start drinking heavily.
I might not be able to pay my bills.
I might die.
Total your score—16 is maximum. The aim of this test is to find out if you
are prey to survival fears.
A score of 9 or more means that you have great anxiety about your
survival. You approach life defensively and are not likely to be the kind of
person who has found a spiritua l vision or any strong inner purpose in life.
Because you are so busy avoiding or obsessing about all the horrible things
that might happen to you, you don’t have much time to seek higher
fulfillment.
If your score is 8 or less, you have a realistic view of life’s dangers. You
may or may not be spiritual, you may not even see yourself as a seeker, but
at least you have  created enough inner expansiveness that spirit  can contact
you. You feel open to the world and interested in its possibilities. Whereas a
person with strong survival fears thinks that life is dangerous with islands
of safety, you think life is safe with a few islands of danger.
If you scored 0, you are denyin g reality. Either you didn’ t take the test
seriously or you live in a fantasy of invulnerability. You are likely to take
big risks that end in disaster, although you would be the last to admit it.
Survival fear is the deepest motivation for attachment. Whenever you
feel that you have to hang on and cling to something in order to survive,
you are perched over a black hole. Although this is a powerful metaphor,
many people do not believe that black holes are real. Let’s take a specific
example: physical appearance is a source of insecurity for almost everyone,
men and women alike. Women tend to express this insecurity directly with
thoughts such as “I’m not pretty,” “I’m too fat,” “My breasts are too small,”“I’m not young anymore.” Men tend to express this insecurity indirectly
with thoughts such as “I’m out of shape,” “I can’t perform the way I used
to,” “W omen don’ t notice me,” “I’m lucky anybody will have me.”
These are all negative thoughts that we cling to for one reason only: we
are protecting ourselves from even worse thoughts lying underneath. For
example, a woman who says, “I hate this dress,” could be defen ding herself
from the thought “I’m too fat,” which in turn could be protection from
“Everyone think s I’m ugly,” which if peeled back would revea l something
like “I don’t deserve love.” Horr ible as it would be to live with that thought,
it too is a defense that your psyche will cling to if it must, because the next
layer down says, “I don’t deserve to live,” and beneath that “I am nothing.”
The worst experience you can imagine is to approach a black hole;
therefore you paper it over with layer after layer of defenses. None of these
defenses is positive, all are negative, some a lot more negative than others.
But once you’ve faced your fears about survival, there is nothing left to
cling to—a black hole lies straight ahead.
Fortunately, the terror of a black hole can be disarmed before any crisis
or trauma occurs. This is done in a very simple way:
Black holes ar e healed by filling them with spirit. Despite their terr or, black holes ar e just lack of
love.
The following statements expre ss a healing attitude toward any extreme
fear, or the need it arouses:
I do not lack for anything.
Fear is always wrong—even if bad things happen, they will increase my knowledge and strength.
My life is mine to take care of. I can do it.
Spirit is always my ally.
No matter what, I am enough.
How does your beloved fit into this? You can both take the healing
journey based on the safety you first found in love. Falling in love removes
the immediate pain of loss and gives a taste of what it feels like to be whole
and full. Wisdom tells us that this is only temporary. Love from  an external
source can never be raised above the field of change. The only eternal
relationship anyone ever has is with the higher Self. Sometimes in the madpassion of romance you can feel as if your beloved is inside your heart. This
feeling comes from having a loveless space filled.
The real spiritual work is to fill this lack yourself, which is a kind of
circular process. The mind can be trained into self-love by being shown,
over and over, that the higher Self is a safe haven of love and protection.
The higher Self cannot protect you until you seek its security; this process
begins when you devote time and energy to self-love. Self-love grows when
you refuse to follow the impulse s of anger and fear, trust that the universe is
on your side, form your desires from the heart and watch the higher Self
carry them out, believe that you are enough in and of yourself, heed the
tenderness and sweetness of your love for others, put your attention on
positive energies in every situation, honor your own needs without having
to seek outside approval, and cultivate the peace of inner silence.
When you put these things foremost in your relationships, you will help
your beloved toward self-love instead of expecting love to be constantly
directed at you. Most of us approach things exactly the wrong way around.
As though we were children we first want someone else to make us feel
secure by lavishing us with affection and approval. But you are the source
of love, which is full to overflo wing. When you have done your spiritual
work, you will fill in the black holes that keep you from that source. Letting
go, although frightening to the ego, is actually entering into the boundless
ocean of love.
I am reminded of Walt Whitman, who poured forth his exuberance in
rapturous embrace of everything  around him yet was equally the unattached
observer who rested at peace with the inner man:
I exist as I am, that is enough,
If no other in the world be aware I sit content,
And if each and all be aware I sit content.
One world is aware, and by far the lar gest to me, and that is myself,
And whether I come to my own today or in ten thousand or ten million years,
I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness I can wait...
I laugh at what you call dissolution,
And I know the amplitude of time.
At some  point every love story reaches this all-embracing state of peace
within. There is no way to achieve real contentment, real fulfillment otherthan through the Self.

Connor ’s Story
CONNOR, AN OLDER  former patient of mine, came to me recently expressing
deep distress over what had happened to Mary Patrick, his wife of thirty
years. Both immigrants from Ireland, where they had married late in life,
Connor and Mary Patrick were seventy but still good looking and vigorous.
After a long period of calm and happiness in their lives, their youngest son
contracted AIDS and died. The family was grief stricken, but the boy’s
mother healed her grief by reaching out to others. Mary Patrick became a
full-time advocate for AIDS victims. She worked politically on various
fronts but spent most of her time offering herself personally, driving AIDS
patients to the grocery store, visiting them in the hospital, clearing the way
for them to pay their enormous medical bills.
“Your wife soun ds like a saint, ” I told Connor, unembarrassed to use a
cliché because nothing less would fit. Connor had a defiant look in his eyes.
“You think so? Then why was she diagnosed last week with advanced lung
cancer?” he asked bitterly.
I was shocked


• Your gray hairs are an asset
Don’t ever quit a job and say, “I am retired; I am old; I am
finished.” That would be stagnation, death, and you would be finished.
Some men are old at 30, while others are young at 80. The mind is t he
master weaver, the architect, the designer, and the sculptor. George
Bernard Shaw was active at 90, and the artistic quality of his mind had
not relaxed from active duty.
I meet men and women who tell me that some employers almost
slam the door in their faces when they say they are over 40. This
attitude on the part of the employers is to be considered cold, c allous,
evil, and completely void of compas-sion and understanding. The total
emphasis seems to be on youth, i.e., you must be under 35 years of
age to receive con-sideration. The reasoning behind this is ce rtainly
very shallow. If the employer would stop and think, he would realiz e
that the man or woman was not selling his age or gray hair, rat her, he
was willing to give of his talents, his experience, and his w is-dom
gathered through years of experience in the market place of life.
• Age is an asset
Your age should be a distinct asset to any organization, because of
your practice and application through the years of the princi ples of the
Golden Rule and the law of love and good will. Your gray hair, if you
have any, should stand for greater wisdom, skill, and understandi ng.
Your emotional and spiritual maturity should be a tremendous
blessing to any organization.
A man should not be asked to resign when he is 65 years of age.
That is the time of life when he could be most useful in handling
personnel problems, making plans for the future, making decis ions,
and guiding others in the realm of creative ideas based on his
experience and insight into the nature of the business.

 214   • Be your age
A motion-picture writer in Hollywood told me that he had to write
scripts, which would cater to the twelve-year-old mind.
This is a tragic state of affairs if the great masses  of people are
expected to become emotionally and spiritually mature. It me ans that
the emphasis is placed on youth in spite of the fact that yout h stands
for inexperience, lack of discernment, and hasty judgment.
• I can keep up with the best of them
I am now thinking of a man 65 years of age who is trying frantic ally
to keep young. He swims with young men every Sun-day, goes on
long hikes, plays tennis, and boasts of his prowess and physical
powers, saying, “Look, I can keep up with the best of them!”
He should remember the great truth: As a man thinketh in his heart,
so is he. PROV. 23:7.
Diets, exercises, and games of all kinds will not keep this  man
young. It is necessary for him to observe that he grows old  or remains
young in accordance with his processes of think-ing. Your
subconscious mind is conditioned by your thoughts. If your thoughts
are constantly on the beautiful, the noble, and the good, you will
remain young regardless of the chronological years.
• Fear of old age
Job said, The thing which I greatly feared is come upon me. There
are many people who fear old age and are uncertain about the fu ture,
because they anticipate mental and physical deterioration as  the years
advance. What they think and feel comes to pass.
You grow old when you lose interest in life, when you cease to
dream, to hunger after new truths, and to search for new worlds to
conquer. When your mind is open to new ideas, new interests, and
when you raise the curtain and let in the sunshine and inspira tion of
new truths of life and the universe, you will be young and vital.

 215  • You Lave much to give
If you are 65 or 95 years of age, realize you have much to give. You
can help stabilize, advise, and direct the younger generation. You  can
give the benefit of your knowledge, your experience, and your
wisdom. You can always look ahead for at all times you are gazi ng
into infinite life. You will find that you can never cease to unveil  the
glories and wonders of life. Try to learn something new every  moment
of the day, and you will find your mind will always be young.
• One hundred and ten years old
Some years ago while lecturing in Bombay, India, I was introduced
to a man who said he was 110 years old. He had the most beautiful
face I have ever seen. He seemed trans-figured by the ra diance of an
inner light. There was a rare beauty in his eyes indicating he  had
grown old in years with gladness and with no indication that his mind
had dimmed its lights.
• Retirement is a new venture
Be sure that your mind never retires. It must be like a para chute,
which is no good unless it opens up. Be open and receptive to new
ideas. I have seen men of 65 and 70 retire. They seemed to rot a way,
and in a few months passed on. They obviously felt that life was  at an
end.
Retirement can be a new venture, a new challenge, a new pa th, the
beginning of the fulfillment of a long dream. It is inexpressib ly
depressing to hear a man say, “What shall I do now that I am re tired?”
He is saying in effect, “I am mentally and physically dead. My mind is
bankrupt of ideas.”
All this is a false picture. The real truth is that y ou can accomplish
more at 90 than you did at 60, because each day you are growing i n
wisdom and understanding of life and the universe through your new
studies and interest.

 216  • He graduated to a better job
An executive, who lives near me, was forced to retire a few m onths
ago because he had reached the age of 65. He said to me, “I l ook upon
my retirement as promotion from kinder-garten to the first gr ade.” He
philosophized in this manner: He said that when he left high s chool,
he went up the ladder by going to college. He realized this was a step
forward in his education and understanding of life in general.
Likewise, he added, now he could do the things he had always wan ted
to do, and therefore, his retirement was still another step  forward on
the ladder of life and wisdom.
He came to the wise conclusion that he was no longer going t o
concentrate on making a living. Now he was going to give all hi s
attention to living life. He is an amateur photog-rapher, and he took
additional courses on the subject. He took a trip around the wor ld and
took movies of famous places. He now lectures before various  groups,
lodges, and clubs, and is in popular demand.
There are countless ways of taking an interest in some-thing
worthwhile outside yourself. Become enthusiastic over new creat ive
ideas, make spiritual progress, and continue to learn and to gr ow. In
this manner you remain young in heart, because you are hungering
and thirsting after new truths, and your body will reflect your t hinking
at all times.
• You must be a producer and not a prisoner of society
The newspapers are taking cognizance of the fact that the voti ng
population of the elderly in California elections is increas -ing by leaps
and bounds. This means that their voices will be heard in the
legislature of the state and also in the halls of Con-gre ss. I believe
there will be enacted a federal law prohibiting employers  from
discrimination against men and women because of age.
A man of 65 years may be younger mentally, physically, and
physiologically than many men at 30. It is stupid and ridicu-lous  to
tell a man he cannot be hired because he is over 40. It is like  saying to
him that he is ready for the scrap heap or the junk pile.
 217  What is a man of 40 or over to do? Must he bury his talents and hide
his light under a bushel? Men, who are deprived and prevented from
working because of age must be sustained by government tre asuries at
county, state, and federal levels. The many organizations who refuse
to hire them and benefit from their wisdom and experience will b e
taxed to support them. This is a form of financial suicide.
Man is here to enjoy the fruit of his labor, and he is here to b e a
producer and not a prisoner of society, which compels him to idleness.
Man’s body slows down gradually as he advances through the years,
but his conscious mind can be made much more active, alert, aliv e,
and quickened by the inspiration from his subconscious mind. His
mind, in reality, never grows old. Job said, Oh that I were as in
months past, as in the days when God preserved me; When his candle
shined upon my head, and when by his
