. Nothing was found wrong except kidney stones, for which patient came in. Patient stat ed
he had always had circulation problems.
IRIDOLOGY ANALYSIS. Black in intestinal area indicated underactive bowel with heavy toxic settlement there. Inherent
weakness in kidney areas of irides. Adrenal glands underactive, showing that kidneys and adrenals were overworked due to toxi c
condition of blood from underactive bowel. Leg areas  underactive. Poor circulation and enervation, together with underactivity
in legs, indicated toxic settlements in leg tissues.
PROGRAM. Initially, Patient eliminated fried foods from his diet, reduced meat intake, increased raw salads and added several
nutritional supplements. He reported, “The bowel has improved considerably...with bowel movements reduced from seven or eight
per day down to twice a day. The feet, unfortunately, got worse.” Patient was then placed on a seven -day tissue cleansing program
which included two colemas per day, morning and night. (Colemas are not as strenuous as colonies but are more effective than
enemas.) Fasting diet included broth, herb teas, vitamins, nutritional supplements and juice mixed with bulk and clay water. Clay
packs and aloe vera were applied externally to the legs. On the fourth day, Patient reported, “The swelling in my right ankle is
gone. It is now normal. The sealing or encrustations on my feet, ankles, insteps and heels, began to fall away. I would say t here is a
60-70 percent improvement. I am elated over the results.” Examination at this time showed strong improvement of ulcerated areas
around feet. Patient is usinq skin brushing and cold water packs on body. Goal was to increase circulation and life force. Dulse was
used to quicken the thryoid, and Dren -C was used to improve circulation. Pancreas substance was taken to dissolve the heavy
mucus lining in the bowel. The elimination of mucus from the bowel was an important step toward improved assimilation of
nutrients from food after end of tissue cleansing program.

When the seven -day program had ended, Patient’s feet had cleared up almost entirely. Ulcers no longer draining. Skin healing,
becoming clear. Patient had worked very hard, co -operating with the pr ogram entirely. When asked for his response to the results
of the seven -day tissue -cleansing program, Patient reported, “It is almost miraculous! My wife and family are going to find it
difficult to believe what they see when they arrive.” Patient was advi sed concerning the necessity of changing former food and
other life habits to an improved nutritional and exercise regimen, to bring about general upgrading of health and to avoid
recurrence of ulcerated leg problem. He was told that he had a year’s work a head of him. Although the ankles were now normal at
the beginning of each day, swelling continued to occur around 11 a.m. or noon, particularly in the right foot. On the day pat ient
returned home, he was able to wear shoes comfortably for the first time in  over a year!
PATIENT 2
Patient’s complaints were psoriasis, diabetes and arthritis.
HISTORY. Patient developed psoriasis 7 years ago. First symptoms were scaling of scalp and of facial skin under beard.
Condition became progressively worse until 3 years a go, when fingernails began showing pits and creases. A year later, Patient
developed diabetes and began taking insulin. Six months after the appearance of the diabetes, arthritis set in. First symptom s
were fluid in the knee and inflammation of the elbow, A physician diagnosed the condition as psoriatric arthritis. Patient found that
Western medicine could do nothing for his condition. He was taking 20 aspirin per day for relief from arthritic pain, insulin  shots
for the diabetes and the psoriasis was growi ng worse. He began to experience depression and hopelessness.
IRIS ANALYSIS. Inherent weaknesses in bowel and bronchials. Catarrhal congestion in lungs. Lymphatic rosary. Kidney
weakness. Nerve rings. Pancreas weakness. Toxic thyroid. Scurf rim. Drug depos its - iron, sulfur and iodine.
PROGRAM. Patient was placed on a seven -day tissue -cleansing program. From monitoring blood sugar level, Patient found it
necessary to reduce insulin requirement gradually from 18 units down to nothing by the fifth day when blood sugar level remained
within normal limits (70 -110) without insulin.
RESULTS. Arthritis improved dramatically. Patient had difficulty putting on socks before but can now do that without problems.
Walking was painful and is now normal. The severity of the diabetes is reduced. Psoriasis has improved but will take time to get
skin back to normal. Skin is moister than before. Psoriasis peels in larger areas; peelings come off easier and there is litt le
bleeding. Patient is in excellent spirits, looking for ward to bicycling when he returns home.
PATIENT 3
Subject has had cancer for the last eight years. This is a cancer of the breast. Surgery removed a lump and it was found to b e very
malignant. Mastectomy was advised. Patient refused any further surgery and  searched for alternative treatments and cures. She
first went to laetrile therapy. Soon afterwards was under the care of a natural hygienist for 5 years. She followed a very st rict
program during this time. Breast became harder and harder. At one point a lump appeared near the surface and ruptured leaving an
open, bleeding unhealing sore. Patient had taken Dr. Jensen’s lectures and courses in the past and at these times was advised  to
control a calcium deficiency and metabolic imbalance. Her doctor back ho me consistently refused the calcium control stating that
it would be fatal for her to do so. She was afraid to not follow his advice and did not adjust the calcium as recommended. Pa tient
has had over 300 colonic treatments during this time. She was advise d by Broda Barnes to stabilize her thyroid activity as he felt it
was out of balance. This could cause a calcium upset. At one point, X -rays were taken of the back, revealing it to be like that of an
18 year old.
Patient’s health deteriorated rapidly.
She was advised at this point of advanced bone cancer. Her pelvic bone looked like Swiss cheese. She was told that she had 2
weeks to live and to go to Hawaii for her last days. Patient immediately started calcium treatments and looking after her cal cium
needs. By now the tumor had broken through causing unbearable pain. She was taken to a hospital and given morphine. Her
condition warranted being put on a terminal list during this visit. She left the hospital and went to New Mexico and underwen t heat
treatment s. During her visit there she broke her leg. By now the cancer was a large, oozing, bloody, open sore and was beyond a
surgical remedy. During this period she gave her life over to the Lord and experienced a major turning point. She advises tha t
holding an y negative thought patterns or resentments is absolutely lethal to well -being. These things will cause death to approach
and cannot be indulged in if recovery or healing is to take place.
She started to take Dr. Jensen’s advice wholeheartedly at this time.  Combined with new attitude and nutritional improvement, the
tide was turned and the tumor started to recede and heal. She has since taken the 3 -day cleansing treatment. The tumor is gone and
all signs of the cancer are gone also. Laboratory tests are nega tive. This woman is a very good patient in that she did not give up
and was willing to work hard and change her attitudes about life.
PATIENT 4
Phone call came today from a colema patient telling me that approximately the first part of November 1980, she s tarted wheezing
and coughing; also experienced aching all over the body. These were some of the past problems coming back. In August 1979, sh e
had a bad cold with wheezing. October of the same year, had to go into hospital in New York with a chest cold; ag ain in
November, had to be hospitalized for the same trouble; got to the point she could not take care of child. She came here in Fe bruary
1980 for a cleansing treatment, has had second treatment and has followed the maintenance program. When the past prob lem
recurred, she stopped her solid foods and used only potato peeling broth and soup; during this time, she took two colemas a d ay.
Within two days, she was feeling much better and is doing fine now. “Tell the Doctor thank God for the Colema!”
PATIENT 5
The following is a letter received from patient B.F., who received colema treatment in April 1980. Here is her report: “I am
dropping this note to let you know that the Tissue Cleansing Regimen which I took the first week in April cleared up the cyst s in
the breast which had troubled me. I hope to see Dr. Jensen at the Nutrition Workshop that he is going to teach in New Lebanon,
New York this summer from July 21 -28. I plan to drive over for the day and, if possible, have Dr. Jensen examine me. He had
wanted to do so and he will be able to see the changes in me since I have been following the colema regimen.
PATIENT 6
I had a call the other day from a man - a personal friend of mine who has been


was able to rid my body of pieces of meat and skin along with filaments and mucous by the intestine. I continued taking the Urine and it cleaned me thanks to God.   My daughter lost 12 kilos of weight, she does gargling and applies it in the hair, which has improved. Also she is diabetic and she is already in control of her diabetes. Thanks to God and you Sonia who have taught us to know ourselves and to love God and others."  World-wide Case Histories of Urine Therapy by Gary Ward  PSORIASIS  “I was. suffering from psoriasis and pyoderma for about five years. I tried allopathic, homoeopathic, Ayurvedic and nature cure treatments without any gain. I was so desperate due to my ailment that I was planning to resign from my service and retire to my native place in Kutch. But then my friend Kanji D. Vaidya inspired and encouraged me to have recourse to urine treatment. I resolved to take up this treatment till I am fully recovered.  I followed instructions given in the book Manav mutra regarding urine intake and urine massage. In the beginning for a few days I felt nausea, restlessness and weakness. One day while in sleep, I passed urine in the bed. Its colour was like blood. I was frightened and so consulted the Vaidya, who was my well-wisher. He advised and encouraged me to continue the treatment with faith and patience I thereafter gradually recovered and by the end of fifth month I was about 95% cured. Even now I continue to drink urine twice daily, and take occasional massage with it. I am quite certain that I shall be completely cured.”  from Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  PSORIASIS  “Doctors report that the further growth of psoriasis could be checked, but it was Impossible to cure. A man suffering from this disease retells his story: "I tried various medicines in allopathy to stop the disease from spreading with no results. On June 12, 1960, I began storing my urine in bottles for massages. As soon as three bottles of one  pound capacity  each were filled, I began rubbing my entrre body with It. Next morning 160 my skin appeared to be soft and tender, and it surprised me. The dead cuticles on the skin had cleared. I felt still more softness of the body and I took a bath. Then I though of drinking urine. First I rubbed urine on my teeth, and on June 18th, I drank urine for the frrst time, and the next day, I submitted myself to my doctor for an examination. He was extremely glad to note the improvement.  Since June 16th up to his day I continued drinking and rubbing  urine. Daily I rub myself from head to toe, do some physical work, and then take a bath. The dead cuticles have been entirely gone, my skin appears o be very healthy. I do not recall any itching sensation after June 16th. I got rid of psoriasis completely, and my constipation has also been eliminated. My body is active, and my appetite is good.’ ”  Urine Therapy by Dr. John O'Quinn  PSORIASIS  “A middle-aged woman presented with psoriasis which had been a continuous condition only on her head for the last 12 years. Had also tried many and varied things. I went through the usual protocol of different natural remedies and talked openly to her about urine therapy. Reluctant at first, but managed to open her mind about it all and after that she left me with the suggestion of, each morning she wash her hair then rinse the hair with first urine collected from mid-stream. Leave on head for up to 20 minutes, then wash out. To her utmost surprise her condition has stopped and her hair is so soft. She now wants to stop taking the pill so she can take her urine homeopathically each day. Hurray for Urine!”  Urine: The Holy Water by Harald W. Tietze  PUS in BLOOD  “Patient, male, 49, was extremely nervous and irritable; he had wandering pains all over his body, headache and general lassitude. He complained a great deal of pain in the lumbar region and in the abdomen.  He improved on nothing I gave him...microscopic urine examination showed red blood cells, pus cells, renal cells and abundance of calcium oxalate crystals. The treatment consisted of a twenty minim injection of urine diluted 1 to 100 with distilled water. He improved with this to a certain point but did not entirely recover until I used a less diluted urine, after which he made a prompt recovery. Two months after he recovered a urinalysis showed absence of pus and renal cells and a normal volume of urine.”  161 Dr. Deachman, New York  PUS IN EARS  Once a couple came to me with their son aged 7 years. The child was suffering from pus in ears for the last 11 months. Many Ayurvedic and Allopathic drops and other medicines were tried without much success. The effect of these medicines was temporary. The couple told me their problem and asked me to help them. I told them that I too have the same medicines which they have already tried and it is useless to try them again. However if they really want to get rid of this trouble permanently, they will have to take some radical measures which they may not like to hear even upon their insistence. I told them to wash the ear with urine four times a day and also to make the child drink one ounce of urine daily in the morning. They readily agreed to wash the ears with urine but drinking part did not appeal them. They were skeptical about this. However I told them that unless they follow my advice in toto, I can't take any guarantee of cure. They agreed to give it a try after some hesitation. After three days the results were so encouraging that they themselves came to me to tell that they were sure of the efficacy of the treatment. After fifteen days the child was all right. Urine drinking was stopped although washing was continued for few more days. Now the child is 15 years old and the trouble has never recurred again. The family has become convince of the power of urine therapy and have had many benefits from it during these years. This case was one of my earlier adventures in urine therapy which encouraged me a lot. Raojibhai has also described cases where loss of hearing has been restored. Although I have no first hand experience in this matter but I am sure that urine therapy is capable of working wonders unheard of.  "Miracles of Urine Therapy" by Morarji Desai  PUS IN URINE  “Shrimati Kamaladevi Choradia, 30 years, of Sardar Shahr (Rajasthan) was suffering from backache and pus in her urine. Having been thoroughly disappointed with allopathic treatment she went to Momasar to get treated by Shri Bhojraj Sancheti in May 1972. Listening her tale of woe Shri Sancheti warned her : "There are possibilities in urine therapy of reactions and aggravations. Only after patiently and firmly braving them can One acquire freedom from disease." On her amusing him of her eagerness and faith Bhojraj began treatment of urine therapy. On the first day she suffered from frequent vomits and motions. On the second day motions subsided but vomiting continued till three days. But Kamaladevi was not disheartened. On the 14th day the fast was broken with mosambi juice. For some days she was kept on juice. Later she resumed her light diet. To be relieved of the gases, headache, etc. the usual reactions 162 of western medication she restored to hip-bath. For about two months she drank urine thrice and massaged for two hours. After three or four' months she was utterly well and completely regained her health and strength.”  from Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  PYORRHOEA  Another young man, 30 years of age, had pyorrhea. His lower front teeth were very weak and loose and dentist advised him to get them extracted. On my recommendation he tried urine therapy. But this particular young man had a strong will and determination. He followed the instructions literally. In the two months his teeth became firm and gums healthy. Even now after four years of this incident his oral health is perfect. No offensive discharge from gums and no loose teeth, but the fellow is still not taking tea etc. He has understood the secret of health, which is natural food and natural living.

My son, who was studying in the Engineering College of Patiala, used to keep two or three-bottles filled with his urine. They were labelled ‘Nectar of Life’ 1, 2, 3. Whenever anyone had an injury he would treat it with botte No. 1, which had urine several days old. Bottle No. 3 contained fresh urine which he used in eye-trouble and similar conditions.  His class-mate came one day and said, 'You have some medicine called nectar. Give me some. I am at my wit's end owing to these rashes.' He gave some quantity from No. 1 and asked his class-mate to apply it both in mornings and evenings. With a week's application the rashes vanished.”  from Manav Mootra by R. M. Patel  RAT POISON  “A frantic mother called me because her daughter had ingested rat poison accidentally. The child was vomiting and she didn't know what to


 to those endowed
with less. Others possess very li ttle and dully plod through life.
    As vital force drops, the overall efficiency of all the body's organs correspondingly decline. The pancreas creates less dige stive
enzymes; the thymus secretes less of its vital hormones that mobilize the immune syste m; the pituitary makes less growth hormone
so the overall repair and rebuilding of cells and tissues slows correspondingly; and so forth. It does not really matter if t here is or is
not something called nerve energy that can or cannot be measured in a labo ratory. Vital force is observable to many people.
However, it is measurable by laboratory test that after repeated irritation the overall functioning of the essential organs a nd glands
does deteriorate.
    Enervation may develop so gradually that it progr esses below the level of awareness of the person, or times of increased
enervation can be experienced as a complaint --as a lack of energy, as tiredness, as difficulties digesting, as a new inability to
handle a previously -tolerated insult like alcohol.
    Long -term consumption of poor -quality food causes enervation. The body is a carbon/oxygen engine designed to run efficiently
only on highly nutritious food and this aspect of human genetic programming cannot be changed significantly by adaptation.
Given enough generations a human gene pool can adapt to extracting its nutrition from a different group of foods. For example, a
group of isolated Fijians currently enjoying long healthy lives eating a diet of seafoods and tropical root crops could sudde nly be
moved to the highlands of Switzerland and forced to eat the local fare or starve. But most of the Fijians would not have syste ms
adept at making those enzymes necessary to digest cows milk. So the transplanted Fijians would experience many generations of
poorer health and shorter life spans until their genes had been selected for adaptation to the new dietary. Ultimately their
descendants could become uniformly healthy on rye bread and dairy products just like the highland Swiss were.
    However, modern ind ustrial farming and processing of foodstuffs significantly contributes to mass, widespread enervation in
two ways. Humans will probably adjust to the first; the second will, I'm sure, prove insurmountable. First, industrially proc essed
foods are a recent i nvention and our bodies have not yet adapted to digesting them. In a few more generations humans might be
able to accomplish that and public health could improve on factory food. In the meanwhile, the health of humans has declined.
Industrially farmed food s have also been lowered in nutritional content compared to what food could be. I gravely doubt if any
biological organism can ever adapt to an overall dietary that contains significantly lowered levels of nutrition. I will expl ain this
more fully in the c hapter on diet.

Secondary Eliminations Are Disease
    However the exact form the chain from irritation or malnutrition to enervation progresses, the ultimate result is an increase d
level of toxemia, placing an eliminatory burden on the liver and kidneys in excess of their ability. Eventually these organs begin to
weaken. Decline of liver and/or kidney function threatens the stability and purity of blood chemistry. Rather than risk compl ete
incapacitation or death from self -poisoning, the overloaded, toxic  body, guided by its genetic predisposition and the nature of the
toxins (what was eaten, in what state of stress), cleverly channels surplus toxins into its first line of defense --alternative or
secondary elimination systems.
    Most non -life-threatenin g yet highly annoying disease conditions originate as secondary eliminations. For example, the skin was
designed to sweat, elimination of fluids. Toxemia is often pushed out the sweat glands and is recognized as an unpleasant bod y
odor. A healthy, non -toxic body smells sweet and pleasant (like a newborn baby's body) even after exercise when it has been
sweating heavily. Other skin -like organs such as the sinus tissues, were designed to secrete small amounts of mucus for
lubrication. The lungs eliminate used  air and the tissues are lubricated with mucus -like secretions too. These secretions are types of
eliminations, but are not intended for the elimination of toxins. When toxins are discharged in mucus through tissues not des igned
to handle them, the tissues  themselves become irritated, inflamed, weakened and thus much more subject to bacterial or viral
infection. Despite this danger, not eliminating surplus toxins carries with it the greater penalty of serious disability or d eath.
Because of this liability, the body, in its wisdom, initially chooses secondary elimination routes as far from vital tissues and organs
as possible. Almost inevitably the skin or skin -like mucus membranes such as the sinuses, or lung tissues become the first line of
defense.
     Thus the average person's disease history begins with colds, flu, sinusitis, bronchitis, chronic cough, asthma, rashes, acne,
eczema, psoriasis. If these secondary eliminations are suppressed with drugs (either from the medical doctor or with over the
counte r remedies), if the eating or lifestyle habits that created the toxemia are not changed, or if the toxic load increases beyon d the
limits of this technique, the body then begins to store toxins in fat or muscle tissues or the joint cavities, overburdens th e kidneys,
creates cysts, fibroids, and benign tumors to store those toxins. If toxic overload continues over a longer time the body wil l
eventually have to permit damages to vital tissues, and life -threatening conditions develop.
    Hygienic doctors alwa ys stress that disease is remedial effort. Illness comes from the body's best attempt to lighten its toxic load
without immediately threatening its survival. The body always does the very best it can to remedy toxemia given its circumsta nces,
and it should  be commended for these efforts regardless of how uncomfortable they might be to the person inhabiting the body.
Symptoms of secondary elimination are actually a positive thing because they are the body's efforts to lessen a dangerously t oxic
condition. Se condary eliminations shouldn't be treated immediately with a drug to suppress the process. If you squelch the bodies
best and least -life-threatening method to eliminate toxins, the body will ultimately have to resort to another more dangerous
though probab ly less immediately uncomfortable channel.
    The conventional medical model does not view disease this way and sees the symptoms of secondary elimination as the disease
itself. So the conventional doctor takes steps to halt the body's remedial efforts, thus stopping the undesirable symptom and then,
the symptom gone, proclaims the patient cured. Actually, the disease is the cure.
    A common pattern of symptom suppression under the contemporary medical model is this progression: treat colds with
antihis tamines until the body gets influenza; suppress a flu repeatedly with antibiotics and eventually you get pneumonia. Or,
suppress eczema with cortisone ointment repeatedly, and eventually you develop kidney disease. Or, suppress asthma with
bronkiodialators  and eventually you need cortisone to suppress it. Continue treating asthma with steroids and you destroy the
adrenals; now the body has become allergic to virtually everything.
    The presence of toxins in an organ of secondary elimination is frequently the cause of infection. Sinuses and lungs, inflamed by
secondary eliminations, are attacked by viruses or bacteria; infectious diseases of the skin result from pushing toxins out o f the
skin. More generalized infections also result from toxemia; in this ca se the immune system has become compromised and the body
is overwhelmed by an organism that it normally should be able to resist easily. The wise cure of infections is not to use ant ibiotics
to suppress the bacteria while simultaneously whipping the immune  system; most people, including most medical doctors, do not
realize that antibiotics also goose the immune system into super efforts. But when one chooses to whip a tired horse, eventua lly the
exhausted animal collapses and cannot rise again no matter how  vigorously it is beaten. The wise cure is to detoxify the body, a
step that simultaneously eliminates secondary eliminations and rebuilds the immune system.
    The wise way to deal with the body's eliminative efforts is to accept that disease is an oppor tunity to pay the piper for past
indiscretions. You should go to bed, rest, and drink nothing but water or dilute juice until the condition has passed. This a llows the
body to conserve its vital energy, direct this energy toward healing the disordered body  part, and catch up on its waste disposal. In
this way you can help your body, be in harmony with its efforts instead of working against it which is what most people do.
    Please forgive another semi -political polemic here, but in my practice I have ofte n been amazed to hear my clients complain that
they have not the time nor the ability to be patient with their body, to rest it through an illness because they have a job t hey can't
afford to miss or responsibilities they can't put down. This is a sad comm entary on the supposed wealth and prosperity of the
United States. In our country most people are enslaved by their debts, incurred because they had been enthralled by the illus ion of
happiness secured by the possession of material things. Debt slaves beli eve they cannot miss a week of work. People who feel they
can't afford to be sick think they can afford to live on pills


 passed, I  realized one of the basic laws of cancer: Wrong foods caused the
malignancy to grow, while proper foods allowed natural body defenses to work and
the malignancy was absorbed a little. This is one reason some people can live so long
with cancer, while others succumb very quickly. Through a process too long to
describe here, I  worked out the relationship of enzymes, minerals, and co-enzymes,
as well as proper detoxification procedures.
By the time I  started my program, I  was in very bad shape. I  was extremely
depressed, with nothing seeming to work out well. I  had a feeling of impending death
most of the time, was always tired, and became completely exhausted at the slightest
effort.
The cancer had eaten into the nerve connections to my heart, causing rapid pulse
rates and irregular beating. My cancerous pancreas was so damaged and enlarged
that I  had hypoglycemia and was going into insulin shock several times a day. My
liver also was cancerous and enlarged. I  could not eat much, as I  was so nauseated.
My intestines were so laden with cancer that I  was in constant pain. I  w ill have scars
for a long time to come.
When I  finally worked out the total nutritional support program, I  thought
everything would be wonderful and I  would recover without further difficulties. But I
had still another lesson to learn. Recovery can be worse than the disease itself. I  not
only had to destroy the cancer, but I  had to rebuild a badly damaged body also.
At first, I  was anxious to destroy the cancer as quickly as possible, but I  found that
the toxic poisons made me extremely ill. I  had to learn how to be sure the cancer was
dissolving, but not too fast. At the proper rate, one would feel sick, but not violently
ill.
As the body absorbs the cancer, it overloads the blood and liver with toxic poisons,
making one feel constantly sick. This, for me, lasted about eight months after the
cancer growth was stopped. All the while, the mental depression remains and the diet
leaves you with cravings. One has been accustomed to all the tasty "junk" and it is
very hard to give it up forever.
As one begins to get over the "goopy" sick feeling, he w ill notice that he has a
good day when he feels wonderful, then several bad days when he feels "goopy" sick
again. He enjoys the good days so much that the bad ones seem much worse than
they really are. Now he can realize how sick he has been.
About the time one is having a few more goods days than bad, he starts having
772
Winning The Cancer War
muscle cramps — very bad ones. This condition goes on for a minimum of nine
months, and often much longer, while one is rebuilding muscle protein that was
taken out of the tissue during the early stages of the cancer. This stage is similar to the
severe growing pains one might have experienced as a child or youth.
There is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow — one's good health! If all the steps
have been faithfully carried out, one's body is in better condition than ever before in
many cases. That wasn't true in my case, at least it hasn't been yet. Although my
"incurable" cancer is cured, it did a lot of damage and it was five years before I  was
free of pain and felt really good. Nevertheless, I  was given years of precious,
productive living. And if you can first find hope and then health through Metabolic
Medicine, I  w ill not have lived in vain.
Pancreatic Cancer Study
The most outstanding study in medical history is of Pancreatic Cancer. At the
request of Robert A. Good, Ph.D., M.D., former president of Memorial Sloan-
Kettering Cancer Center of New York City, Nick Gonzalez, a medical student,
reviewed thousands of Dr. Kelley's patient's records selecting 22 patients with
Pancreatic Cancer. Although Dr. Kelley had many more patients who were diagnosed
with Pancreatic Cancer, only these 22 met the rigid standards required in this study:
i.e., Biopsy diagnosed at a major medical institution.
Dr. Good requested this study, which is called a numerator/denominator. In this
study, a single form of cancer was chosen. Gonzalez chose pancreatic cancer since
the five-year survival rate in orthodox medicine is virtually zero.
In this study, a total of 22 Kelley pancreatic cancer patients properly diagnosed by
the orthodox medical community were broken down into three groups based on their
level of following Kelley's protocol. The median survival of the three groups is shown
as:
Unit One: Ten patients never followed the protocol; average survival 67 days.
Unit Two: Seven patients followed the protocol partially; average survival 233 days.
Unit Three: The five patients who followed Dr. Kelley's protocol completely achieved
an average of nine years survival.
In fact, all five were still alive at the time the study was made except one patient
who had died (of Alzheimer's) after 11.5 years, cancer free.

Medic a l Professionals Evalu ations
(Circa 1982)
W h a t I n o tice d  o ve r th e  years was a disappearance o f a ll m y sym ptom s,
th e  re tu rn  o f energy, endurance, and interest...
D r. John R hine ha rt (M e d ica l D o c to r)
Dr. John Rhinehart (Medical Doctor)
I  first met Dr. Kelley six years ago. I  had taken a seriously ill member of my family to
him for an evaluation and a "nutritional" program. What I  got was a fascinating and
provocative experience about a new way to live healthfully, and a whole new
concept of what physical and spiritual health is all about. This was all in addition to a
nutritional program. While I  did not understand at that point exactly all the
ramifications of his approach, I  was so intrigued that I  decided to go on a program
myself. Part of doing this was to test for myself whether it really was possible that Dr.
Kelley had developed a method for applying his theories.
My own physical problems resolved around long-term exhaustion of what I  now
know as my sympathetic nervous and glandular systems. Medically, this
encompassed several diagnoses including irritable colon and mucus colitis, severe
low blood sugar, intermittent episodes of high blood pressure, depression, and very
erratic and low energy patterns. These are all called: "burn-out."
What I  noticed over the years was a disappearance of all my symptoms, the return
of energy, endurance, and interest, which I  could count on. I  knew something vitally
important had happened in my body and did not quite understand how that had
been accomplished and so decided to study with Dr. Kelley in order to find some
answers to that apparent riddle. What I  discovered was a simple theory that
addressed an extremely sophisticated piece of machinery — our bodies — in a new
and comprehensive as well as therapeutically effective way.
Over the last two years I  have incorporated the program in my practice and have
774

seen all types of people responding well, providing they commit themselves to doing
the program thoroughly. I  would also like to emphasize that the program is a dynamic
and ever developing one, so much so that the changes incorporating new knowledge
make year-old programs seem like ten years old.
Over all, I  believe that Dr. Kelley's program is sparked by a special sort of genius
decades ahead of its time, and w ill be a paradigm of medical care in the future.

An open letter to my Colleagues, April 1982. The prevailing orientation of the
traditional medical community over the past 150 years, with regard to cancer and
other degenerative disease processes, has been largely a destructive, anti
symptomatic phenomenon. Admittedly, these approaches have some absolute
applications for limited, short-term therapy, but in my strong opinion anti
symptomatic therapies have no validity in the treatment of long-term disease. What is
and has been needed for some years is a major re-evaluation of the medical scientific
doctrine and the establishment of a more appropriate model for the understanding of
health and disease. Hopefully, this new model could redirect the investigative
energies of the research community on to more rewarding horizons.
I  feel that the time has come from both the scientific and humanistic viewpoints, for
a change in emphasis from the disease process itself to the person who has the
disease and from a position of fighting against disease to one of re-establishing and
preserving good health. One of the major contributors to the proposed changes in
medical thought has been Dr. W illiam Donald Kelley, a dentist by profession, who
developed a self-sustaining, cohesive model which largely explains and properly
categorizes volumes of seemingly divergent scientific information, theories,
observations and experiences. The key is biological individuality. Dr. Kelley's genius
is in developing an entire scientific model beginning with the individual and his
inherent uniqueness.
A major reorganization of thought and practice is required of the medical
community to utilize the tools, which have


 possess it, and it
serves no purpose that has anything to do with being a happy, ful-
filled person. It is an erroneous zone, a kind of psychological influ-
enza that incapacitates you just as a physical disease would.
Let’s define the term anger. As used in this chapter, it refers to an
immobilizing reaction, experienced when any expectancy
209is not met. It takes the form of rage, hostility, striking out at someone
or even glowering silence. It is not simple annoyance or irritation.
Once again the key word is immobility. Anger is immobilizing and
it is usually a result of wishing the world and the people in it were
different.
Anger is a choice, as well as a habit. It is a learned reaction to
frustration, in which you behave in ways that you would rather not.
In fact, severe anger is a form of insanity. You are insane whenever
you are not in control of your behavior. Therefore, when you are
angry and out of control, you are temporarily insane.
There is no psychological reward for anger. As defined here, anger
is debilitating. In the physiological realm, it can produce hyperten-
sion, ulcers, rashes, heart palpitations, insomnia, fatigue and even
heart disease. In the psychological sense, anger breaks down love
relationships, interferes with communication, leads to guilt and de-
pression and generally just gets in your way. You may be skeptical,
since you’ve always heard that expressing your anger is healthier
than keeping it bottled up inside of you. Yes, the expression of anger
is indeed a healthier alternative than suppressing it. But there is an
even healthier stance—not having the anger at all. In this case you
won’t be confronted with the dilemma of whether to let it out or
keep it in.
Like all emotions, anger is the result of thinking. It is not something
that simply happens to you. When faced with circumstances that
are not going the way you would like them to, you tell yourself that
things shouldn’t be that way (frustration) and then you select a fa-
miliar angry response which serves a purpose. (See the payoff section
later in this chapter.) And as long as you think of anger as a part of
what it means to be a human being, you have a reason to accept it,
and avoid going to work on it.
By all means give vent to your anger, let it out in nondestructive
ways—if you are still deciding to have it. But begin to think of
yourself as someone who can learn to think new210 / Your Erroneous Zonesthoughts when you are frustrated, so that the immobilizing anger
can be replaced by more fulfilling emotions. Annoyance, irritation,
and disappointment are feelings that you will very likely continue
to experience, since the world will never be the way you want it.
But anger, that hurtful emotional response to obstacles, can be
eliminated.
You may make a case for anger because it works in getting your
way. Well, take a closer look. If you mean that raising your voice or
looking upset will help you keep your two-year-old child from
playing in the street where she might get hurt, then raising your
voice is an excellent strategy. It only becomes anger when you are
genuinely upset, when you get flushed, and increase your heartbeat,
when you slam things around and are generally immobilized for
any period of time. By all means select personal strategies that will
reinforce appropriate behavior, but don’t take all of the internal hurt
that goes with it. You can learn to think like this: “This behavior she
is exhibiting is dangerous to her. I want to make her see that playing
in the street will not be tolerated. I’ll raise my voice to demonstrate
my strong feelings about it. But I won’t go around being mad.”
Consider a typical mother who cannot master this controlled dis-
play of anger. She is constantly upset about her children’s repetitious
bad behavior. It seems that the more upset she gets, the more they
misbehave. She punishes them, sends them to their room, screams
constantly and is almost always in a state of pique when dealing
with the kids. Her life as a mother is a battle. Loud voices are the
only thing she knows, and each evening she is an emotional wreck,
drained from a day on the battlefield.
So why don’t the kids behave when they know how upset Mommy
decides to be whenever they act up? Because the irony of anger is
that it never works in changing others; it only intensifies the other
person’s desire to control the angry person. Listen to the above
children, assuming they could give voice to their own rationale for
misbehaving.
“See what it takes to set Mommy off? All you have to do isFAREWELL TO ANGER  / 211say this, or do that, and you can get control over her and send her
into one of her fits. You may have to stay in your room for a short
while, but look at what you get! Complete emotional domination
over her for such a low price. Since we have so little power over her,
let’s do this some more and watch her go bananas over our behavi-
or.”
Anger, when used in any relationship, will almost always encour-
age the other person to continue to act as he has been. While the
provoker may act scared, he also knows that he can set the other
person off whenever he wants, and therefore exercise the same kind
of vindictive authority as the angry individual thinks he has.
Whenever you select anger as a response to someone else’s beha-
vior, you are withholding from that person the right to be what he
chooses. Inside your head is the neurotic sentence, “Why can’t you
be more like me? Then I would like you now, instead of being angry.”
But others will never be the way you want them to be, all of the time.
Much of the time people and things will not go the way you would
like them to go. That’s the way the world is. And the likelihood of
it changing is zero. So, every time you choose anger when you run
into someone or something you don’t like, you are deciding to be
hurt or in some way immobilized because of reality. Now that’s
really silly. Being upset about things that aren’t ever going to change.
Instead of choosing anger, you can begin to think of others as having
a right to be different from what you’d prefer. You may not like it,
but you don’t have to be angry about it. Anger will only encourage
them to continue as they are, and will bring about all of the physical
stress and mental torture described above. The choice is really yours.
Anger or new sentences about things that will help you to eliminate
the need for the anger.
Perhaps you see yourself in the opposite camp, that is, someone
who has a great deal of anger, but has never had the courage to ex-
press it. You keep it in and never say a thing,212 / Your Erroneous Zonesbuilding yourself up for those painful ulcers, and living with a lot
of present-moment anxiety. But this is not the opposite of the indi-
vidual who rants and rages. You have the same sentences in your
head that people and things should be the way you want them to
be. If they were, you reason, you wouldn’t feel anger. This is faulty
logic, and eradicating it is the secret to getting rid of your tension.
While you will want to learn to express pent-up anger instead of
storing it up, the ultimate goal is to learn to think in new ways that
will not create the anger. Such internal thoughts as: “If he wants to
be a fool, I’m not going to choose to be upset. He, not me, owns his
dumb behavior” or “Things aren’t going the way I think they should.
While I don’t like it, I’m not going to immobilize myself.”
Learning to express the anger with courageous kinds of new be-
haviors that have been discussed throughout this book is your first
step. Then, thinking in new ways that will help you to shift from
the external to the internal side of the mental health ledger, refusing
to own anyone else’s behavior is the ultimate step. You can learn
not to give other people’s behavior and ideas the power to upset
you. By thinking highly of yourself and refusing to let others control
you, you won’t hurt yourself with present-moment anger.
Having a Sense of Humor
It is impossible for you to be angry and laugh at the same time.
Anger and laughter are mutually exclusive and you have the power
to choose either.
Laughter is the sunshine of the soul. And without sunshine
nothing can live or grow. As Winston Churchill put it,
It is my belief, you cannot deal with the most serious things in
the world unless you understand the most amusing.FAREWELL TO ANGER  / 213You may take life too seriously. Perhaps the single most outstand-
ing characteristic of healthy people is their unhostile sense of humor.
Helping others choose to laugh, and learning to stand back and ob-
serve the incongruity of almost every life situation is an excellent
remedy for anger.
In the scheme of things, what you do and whether you are angry
or not will have all the impact of another glass of water being thrown
over Niagara Falls. Whether you choose laughter or anger will not
matter much—except that


human hormone therapy but your own selected personal therapy?
With this self-therapy we should also be aware of a hormone called
Melatonin. This powerful anti cancer human hormone availing a very
easy method for falling asleep or an aid for jet lag. The pills that are sold
in the nutritional stores are normally hormonal extract from pigs.
Also lets not forget dopamine, insulin, corticosteroids, gonadotropin,
prolactin, vasopressin, thyroxine, adrenaline, testosterone, progesterone,
and many others.
10 It is suggested to use your first urination after you get up in the morning.
The reason is that enzymes and hormones are more concentrated and
collected all during the night. The method for collection is do not drink the
first 20% because that part is mostly oil and bile. Do collect the
centerportion for drinking. The last 20% may have sediment.
So, only the central portions, warm immediate after releasing.
NEVER drink that which has been left open to the air for a time.
This is when bacteria originate in the atmosphere and multiply quickly
3}. Enzymes
Many enzymes are contained in urine. Protease,
Beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase, alpha-amylase, lysozyme.
This gives great explanation to why urine therapy is affective against
strokes, heart attacks, arteriosclerosis, embolism, etc. One enzyme
Urokinase is well known for its vasodilatation and resembles nitroglycerin
and its ability to strengthen the arteries.
Urokinase is extracted from urine and brought into the medical
marketplace on a large scale. An American company has developed a
special filter that collects the proteins and has 10,000 Porta-Johns.
This collection of urine and the transition to Urokinase give to a annual
market sales of $500,000,000.00 from unsuspecting donors.
4}. Urea
Urea in amniotic fluid is by the most part urine from the fetus. *
Starting in the second month it is essential for proper development of the
pulmonary system.* Urea also affects the brain and central nervous
system. Utilization of urea is sometimes used during brain surgery to
minimize pressure on the brain and spinal cord. Chiropractors as well as
myself are fully aware of the health problems caused by the pressures or
subluxations of the spinal column and pressure on the brain. Urea tends to
shrink the spinal column and brain therefore reduces this pressure.
Urea is an oxidizing substance. It dissolves fats and other natural body
-secretions. Urea is also more effective when warm or when heated.
5}. Salts
The drinking of salts as urine is by nature a salt solution is an important
therapeutic remedy. It relieves such problems as constipation, asthma,
stomach ulcers, indigestion, and elimination of certain parasites.
6}. Immune System
Urine is not toxic, however there may be some toxic substances in urine
available in small amounts, especially if someone is in contact with a
11 new disease and does not know it or is ill. We will talk more of this under
the definition of Homeopathy and the law of similars. These are the
medically active substances at infinitesimal do&es. Natural vaccines
Understand that what we drink in our urine may give us that added vaccine
needed to starve off the next oncoming flu, virus, aids, plague, or whatever
the governments of this world may unleash on the mass population.
What a grand way to fight naturally against mass infectious warfare.
You can now be ready for the inevitable. Your pharmacy at hand.
7}. Bacteria, Viral, and fungal.
Urine has a germicidal and antiseptic effect against bacteria, virus, fungus
and many parasites. So does ammonia and salt. It is also known that urine
placed on a scrape, cut, bruises, prevents infection and keeps flies away as
in warmer climates. Scientific research has demonstrated that both urea
and ammonia have a powerful effect on viruses and bacteria.

In India where purified water was at a minimal especially in the small
villages, many have told me by those who lived in India and who visit often,
that many wash their bodies, hair, dishes, with the urine from cows.
Urine is as we have told you when fresh out of a human or animal is sterile.
Therefore the best form of washing possible.
Of course the curing and softening of the skin without the harshness of
soaps are an additional benefit.
In the Persian {Mid east countries}, the nomads of the desert who have
minimal water available for drinking, wash themselves in camels urine.
It is a sane, pure, sterile way of cleaning our human body.
It is a different method, never taught in schools in the USA,
12 Nevertheless it is their way. A sociological way proper in their country.
If you think that those countries do that type of therapy because they are
backward third world countries, lets look now at Holland.
Holland is first in recreational drug legalization.
Marijuana is being sold at local coffee shops with menus for the different
types of marijuana flavors, strength, and imports from other countries.
Holland now is the only country in the world that has legalized euthanasia.
That is to say the legalization of ending one's life.
Holland also has in some, not all restrooms, special dispensers for those
who use urine therapy on a daily basis.
Urine therapy has also been used before 2,000 years in empires such as
China, Greece, and the Roman Empire, including in the times of Christ.
Eskimos, American Indian, Mexican Indian, all the indigenous of South
America, and the indigenous people of Australia also utilizes this therapy.
It permeates the countries of Bulgaria, Germany, Romania, Austria, and I
am sure many more but the research is so hard to get many to open to you.
So you see, urine therapy has been here from time beginning.
It was only society and its taboo that holds back this information.
8}. Miscellaneous
There are many other beneficial substances that are found in urine and
therefore our hypothesis of the availability of reuse and aid to the body
shows tangible evidence in the testimonials that make it shown that these
substances in fact were present and refunctioning after drinking.
a}. Proteins
lgG, lgA, lgM, albumin, transferrin, and others.
b}. Carbohydrates {Very useful while fasting }.
Fructose, glucose, galactose, lactose, saccharose, ribose, & others.
c}. Agglutinins and precipitins

Massaging
Massaging along with drinking is the therapy that you should engage
yourself if you have a disease weather curable or incurable.
Time is of the essence and must be directly and aggressively addressed.
You must see the skin as a organ that takes in as well as expels.
Therefore if your disease warrants the drinking to infiltrate the internal cells
for beneficial aid, the massaging also has its place to enter parts of the
body that are hard to get to.
In parts of the world where full urine clinics are inviting the incurables,
the daily time of massaging will be anywhere from two to four hours.
Extreme results, the beginning massaging will be four to eight hours daily.
The use of one's own urine is favored. If one cannot produce enough for
the daily need, another human can

experience  o f being a perso n, but in the bigger picture it’ s not
who you are.
“It isn’ t the way it appears to be. Y ou aren’ t what you think
you are.”
Jan Frazier, fr om  The Freedom of Being
“Sometimes we’re tar geting the symptoms in life but the real
cause in life we’re missing—the understanding and
recognition of our true nature. This is the one medicine for
everything.”
Mooji
“All the unhappiness, disco ntent and misery that we
experience in our life is caus ed only by our ignorance or
confused knowl edge of who or what we really are. Therefore
if w e wa nt to be free of all forms of misery and unhappiness,
we must free ourself from our ignorance or confused
knowledge of what we really are.”
Michael James, fr om  Happiness and the Art of Being
Y our ga uge of how your life  is going is your level of
happiness. How happy are you? Are you genuinely happy all
of th e time? Do  you live within a continuous background of
happiness? Y ou’re supposed to be happy all the time.
Happiness is  you. It’ s your true nature. It’ s who you really are.
“The thi ng that every one of us is looking for in this world is
exactly the same thing. Every being, even the animals are
looking for it. And what is it that we’re all looking for—
happiness with no sorrow. A continuous happiness with no
taint whatsoever of sorrow.”
Lester Levenson, fr om  W ill Power audio
Every action we take, every dec ision we make, is because we
think we will b e happier from it. It’ s not a coincidence that
we’re all looking for happiness ; in our search for happiness,
we are actually looking for ourselves without realizing it!
It’ s not possible to find lasting happiness through material
things. Every material thing appears and eventually
disappears, so if you vest your happiness in a material thing,your happiness  will disappear when the material thing
disappears. There’ s nothing wro ng with material things (they
are won derful, and you deserve to have whatever you want in
life), but it’ s a major breakthrough when you realize that you’ll
never find lasting happiness in them. If material things brought
us happi ness, then when we receive something that we really
wanted, the happiness would n ever leave us. But it’ s not the
case. Instead, we experience a fl eeting happiness, and within a
very sho rt amount of time we ’re back to where we started
from—a state of wanting more things in an ef fort to feel happy
again.
There’ s only one way to find lasting, permanent happiness—it
is to  fin d out who you really ar e, because your true nature IS
happiness.
“The world is s o unhappy because it is ignorant of the true
Self. Man’ s real nature is happin ess. Happiness is inborn in the
true Self. Man’ s  search for happ iness is an unconscious search
for his true Self... When a ma n finds it, he finds a happiness
which does not come to an end.”
Ramana Maharshi
“The on ly real purpose of being here on this earth is to learn or
to re-remember our original natural state of no limitations.”
Lester Levenson, fr om  W ill Power audio
“The discovery of our true Self has the power to transform the
darkness of ignorance into the li ght of pure understanding. It is
the m ost profound, important an d radical discovery. It is a tree
that bears fruit immediately. When we realize who we are—
the one experiencing and perceiving the world—so many
things will be set right. There are not many things to know if
truth is what you seek. It’ s not volumes of knowledge that are
required—it’ s to come to the recognition of the one true Self
that you are.”
Mooji
Remembering w ho you really are has been given many names
over th e centuries. Enlighten ment, self-realization, self-
discovery, illumina tion, awakening, remembering. Y ou
probably think “enlightenment”  can’ t be for you (“I’m just anormal person”), but you couldn’ t be further from the truth.
This dis covery—this happiness, this freedom—is who you are,
so how can it not be for you?
“Open yourself to the possibilit y that you can experience the
truth  of what you are, this very mom ent. How, you may ask?

Jan Frazier, fr om  The Freedom of Being
“Self-realization is possible f or someone who’ s had no

Lester Levenson, fr om  No Attachments, No A versions
When you fully recognize who you are, you will have a life
without problem s, without upset, hurt, worry, or fear. Y ou will

This will be your life.
From the words of Jan Frazier, a mother and literary teacher:
“Imagine this: Whatever has weighed on you suddenly no
longer w eighs. It may still be there, a fact in your life, but it
has no mass, no gravity. All tha t has ever troubled you is now
just a feature of the landscape,  like a tree, a passing cloud.
Every bit of em otional and mental turmoil has ceased: the
entire bu rden, so me form of wh ich has been with you as long
as yo u can reme mber. A thing familiar as your closest friend—
as much  a part o f you as the language you speak, the color of
your skin—is utterly, inexplic ably gone. Into the startling
emptiness flows  a quiet joy that buoys you morning, noon, and
night, that goes everywhere you go, into any kind of
circumstance, even into sleep. Everything you undertake
happens ef fortlessly. Y ou are happy, but for no reason. Nothing
bothers you. Y ou feel no stress. When a problem arises, you
know what to do, you do it, and then you let it go. People that
used to  drive you crazy no longer do. While you feel
compassion for others’ suf ferin g, you don’ t suf fer yourself.
Activities that used to be tedious are fun. Y ou don’ t need
therapy; you don’ t get bored, an xious, or moody. Except when
needed for a task, your mind is at rest. Y our life is entirely
fulfilled—without your having t o do anything to fulfill it,...you know that no matter what challenge you are handed—for
the r est of your life—the peace will sustain. Never again will
you be afraid, desperate, lonely. Whatever comes your way,
this causeless joy will hold. Imagine it.”

This is your life with The Greatest Secret. This


. For
example, you go about your day using words as you speak and maybe as
you write, so the Holy Spirit will guide you through words to train the
mind to come back into true communion. The purpose of Spirit -inspired
communication is to go beyond the interpersonal communication to
communion with the One. The more you practice this, the more you let Spirit pour through
you and express  through you. You don’t hold back anymore. You start to
have an experien ce of an inner dialogue, as if you are teaching yourself,
as if there is nobody else in the universe but you. There is just one mind,
but that one mind has been forgotten and seems to have fragmented off
into billions of pieces that only know of the little personality self. In everything you do, let your practice become to see the body and
personality self as your means but never the “end goal.” When the body
and the person are the focus and are given too much attenti on, they
become the end rather than means. Let your mind be the end, your divine
mind, the mind that you truly are, the mind that thinks with God. The
whole purpose of life is to have a connected experience. Let your
intuition take charge. Your ego has been running the show for quite a
while without getting to what you really, truly want. It has been striving
—another goal, improving the body, another relationship—see king and
not finding. Now you can start allowing your mind to be the end and the
body the means  for this end in all your relationships and situations in
life. You can start to see that your body has only one purpose: to be a
communication device that the Spirit can use to expand your perception. Healing your mind deserves your full attention. If you let the body be
your communication device and if you don’t withhold any
communication, everything channels into one experience. In trusting and following the Holy Spirit, you are shown a sense of
intimacy and connection that is not dependent on bodies being together. Why does it sometimes feel so terrible when the bodies go apart? Separation anxiety happens when you believe that there can be a break in
communication. When you feel located in a body in a particular place in
space, you can feel very, very alone.Exercise: Feel Connected in Y our Communication
When you are ready to begin your next assignment, take your
usual few minutes to calm and quiet your mind. Take several deep
breaths, remembering your healing purpose, and invite the Holy
Spirit to be with you during this process. In this exercise, you are
going to look at fear of communication. When you feel ready to
look within, open your mind to the following steps:
1. Choose a current relationship where you are holding back
from communicating. Write down all the ways you hold
back. 2. Identify situations where you have opportunities to speak
up, share, or connect and still feel you hold back. Write
them down. 3. Are you willing to communicate how you really feel in order
to experience true connection? Write down your immedia te
response. If you notice any resistance or hesitation, be
honest about it and make notes. 4. Journal about the relationship : your thoughts, feelings, and
beliefs about yourself and the other. Don’t leave anything
out of your exploration. Include thoughts about a specific
situation if this comes to mind. 5. Write a list of all the things you would say to the perso n
involved. For the purpose of the exercise, don’t exclude
anything out of a belief that you need to be nice or hold up
a certain mask, for example. 6. Do you have any expectations about the other person’ s
response? Write them down. What responses do you fear? What responses do you hope for? 7. Are you willing to let go of your expectations and open to a
new perspective? Know that releasing your expectations isthe means to peace. Take time to go into this inquiry and
journal about your observations. 8. Open your mind to the light behind your perception of the
other person and remember your healing purpose. Take a
deep breath, welcome a prayerful state of mind, and relax. Ask the Spirit for guidance about what it is you are to do or
say to them and finally, give this relationship over to Him. Sharing Freely Is Loving
When you make  it a priority to follow the Holy Spirit’ s inspiration in
your heart and stay in full open communication with others and with
God, doubt and fear will start to disappear and not be reflected by other
people anymore. When you have integrity—when what you think, say,
and do, are in alignment—you are at peace. God created us in truth as love; therefore, this is the only thing that
we can truly share. Words of wisdom pour through you when you are in
communion with your Creator, whether that be with other people,
through the Internet, or anything that blesses.Chapter 13
Collaboration
Divine collaboration differs from  special relationships in every way, as it
holds the promise of a lived experience of relationship without
expectations at its core. It has a deep respect and an understan ding that
transcends the usual roles we play. It wants nothing from another, but
each person within a holy collaborative relationship is sharing something
that is deeply nurturing, leaving  each feeling full and grateful. These are
the relationship s that offer an experience of joining with something
much greater. Collaborative Assignments for Deeper Alignment
with Spirit
Once you have made the decision to make healing the goal for your
relationships, the Holy Spirit provides the means for it to happen. There
is a divine plan available for our worldly interpersonal relationships,
though this plan is generally hidden until our minds have reached a
certain maturity. The purpose of a collaborative relationship, as well as
of every assignment, is to learn as deeply as you can about who you truly
are. Healing through relationships comes in many forms. Some people
don’t feel intuitively guided or drawn in to an intimate or romantic
relationship since they have plenty of relationships in their daily life, at
work, and with friends and relatives. There are many different
assignments that we can use to align with the Holy Spirit, and couple
relationships can be major assignments. They are among the most potent
training grounds in this world.You need a sense of a shared purpose in relationship assignmen ts, a
commitment, that is always directed to the light and the healing. The
unconscious mind is filled with much darkness that has to be exposed. You need to go through the darkness to arrive at the light. It can seem
like a long, dark tunnel; sometimes you may wonder if there is light at
the end. The shared purpose is what sustains you as you move  through
the darkness to reach the light. It is not always  immediately obvious how a relationship can be
truly helpful. Sometimes two people are not even conscious of how
important it is that they be together. The relationships or assignments can
be very intense. If one or the other leaves the relationship, one should
not worry; the lesson will come back. It will be repeated, maybe with
another person. Because once readiness and willingness are in
alignment, we attract the mean s for what we need to heal until it’s
healed. It’s helpful to be aware that the ego, being scared of the end,
does not like this, so it’s going  to fight against the means, against the
relationships. Relationships offer endless opportunities for collaboration. They
serve as a backdrop to come together. Collaborative relationships with a
healing purpose contain two qualities: they are undefined, and they are
guided. Those qualities aren’ t typically part of relationships in this
world. The “undefined”  part is very scary to the ego, but it is an essential
entry point. Openness is one of the main doorways to a holy relationship
and thus to freed om. An undefined relationship is about being willing to
be open, to just show up. This is why collaborative relationsh ips don’t
have the rigidity, the expectations, and the demands that linear (time-
based) or special relationships have. When the relationship is undefined,
there isn’t a structure or an agenda already set in place. There isn’t a
standard that the relationship has to meet. There is no role to live up to. You don’t ever have to put any thought into how to keep someone happy
or how to keep the relationship alive. Imagine what that would be like. The “guided” part is very important because this is how it can be
used by the Holy Spirit for healing and the highest good. The
relationship is for a higher purpo se and doesn’ t have a form goal. In fact,you don’t know what outcome is best or how to achieve it. So, it’s
essential to leave space for the Spirit to make it obvious. A collaborative
relationship contains an inspirati on and an agreement to be used together
in some helpful way that benefits the healing of the mind and therefore
blesses the whole universe. Opposing the idea of collaborati ve assignments for healing, the ego
basically says, “Distract yourself, use entertainment and fantasy, and
forget about commitment to a mind-training practice or collaboration. Live it up because you’re going to die anyway.” The Holy Spirit is
saying there is much more than that. When you reach a certain stage of
maturity, you can be guided into shorter or longer assignments. You can
even have lifelong relationships or partnerships where the teaching-
learning balance  is perfect. And

others’ really arises. Thus, below 200, the lifestyle is self-centered in
both humans and animals. Q: In the spiritual literature, ‘one-pointedness of mind’ is considered
not only important but also a prerequisite for meditation or other
spiritual practices. A: That is simply the skill of concentration and unswerving volitional
focus. It is like keeping one’s eye of awareness focused on the road
while driving. It means to refuse distractions. The unskilled, unsafe
driver multifunctions by playing the radio, petting the dog, and eating a
sandwich as he or she talks on the cell phone and reads billboards while
driving. One-pointedness is like a skilled professional driver who knows
he will get fired from the job for having even one accident, no matter
how seemingly trivial. The willingness to establish the capacity for
focused attention arises out of spiritual intention, which results in
identification with the nonlinear field rather than linear content. In much of spiritual work, the question is not whether one is able but
whether one is willing. For example, one is faced with the temptation of
desire. Q: Could it be surrendered?A: Yes, but will it be? Yes/no. The excuse given is, “I can’t.” Then we ask,
“If a loaded gun were pointed at your head to comply or else die, could
you?” The answer, of course, is “yes,” because now one w i l l do it. Thus,
one really could have done it all along. Devotion means undistracted
focus and alignment without equivocation. It represents determination
and fixity of purpose and is merely inner discipline reinforced by
decision and inspiration. Q: The ego/mind and its emotions and feelings seem so strong and
habitual. A: True. Thus, it takes more than just a good idea to ‘get spiritual’ in order
to transcend them. The force of instincts and negative emotions
calibrates below 200. Above 200, one has the power of courage, the
nonresistance of neutrality, and by the 300s, there are faith, enthusiasm,
and willingness to which, in the 400s, are added intelligence, education,
and the guidance of the intellect. At level 500, there is an important shift
of paradigm, and values move from the tangible to the intangible, aided
by the transformative quality of Love. Devotion is a commitment to
Love as a guiding principle, reinforced by choice and the will. By
surrender of the personal will and invocation, there is the intervention of
Divine Will (the Self) invoked by alignment with spiritual purpose. With Divine assistance, the impossible becomes possible. Even that
which is most prized by the ego/mind can actually be surrendered. One-pointedness of mind means to focus on the crest of the wave of
witnessing/experiencing plus being willing to surrender perceived loss
or gain. That is the primary skill that is needed. Q: How should one envision spiritual work? A: The process is one of discovery and is thus directed within. It is by
influence of the Self that spiritual endeavor becomes chosen as a life
goal. It is primarily a decision. Q: But cannot spiritual commitment and endeavor be disruptive to
one’s customary lifestyle? A: Modification is ordinarily sufficient, at least in the beginning. Intensity
of focus may bring about changes that are seen as disruptive; however,
major life changes also occur as a result of lesser ambitions, such aschanges in relationships, occupation, locality, illness, or other life
circumstances. Q: People often have a stereotyped image and expectation of what a
spiritual teacher should look and sound like—usually with robes, a
pious manner, and so forth. A: The teaching style occurs spontaneously of its own. It is sometimes
confrontive to the ego, which likes to go on and on circuitously. The
information that has been provided beforehand is lengthy and detailed. To institute it, however, is a different matter. When resistance is
confronted and made conscious by challenge, it frequently loses its
attraction. A shift in the balance of energy is sometimes all that is
required. Occasionally, without prodding, the ego tends to drag its feet
or waste time chasing its tail by asking rhetorical questions. To hear
‘enough is enough’ can assist the letting go of such programs. Humor results from shifting context by which absurdity reveals itself. Humor is also confrontive to positionality—to laugh at oneself or help
others to do so relieves conflict and stress. Humor is therapeutic and
cathartic. It also minimalizes fear, anger, or resentment. Mistakes keep
us humble and therefore teachable. Abruptness is sometimes necessary
to spiritual economy to save time and energy. Q: Spiritual economy? A: Yes. It is necessary to develop respect for spiritual endeavor. “Straight
and narrow is the path, waste no time or effort.” Precision is discipline
that is innate to serious commitment. Some students may yet be in a
period of exploration, but once one gets the ‘fire in the belly,’ the urge
to reach God becomes like a drivenness or relentless drive, or even, in
the eyes of the world, a ‘madness.’ From that point on, there is no
patience for amusement or diversion. It depends on decision, will, the
level of consciousness, and karmic propensities. As it gets more intense,
the love for God and of God allows no delay. O c e a n o f P D F. c o mCHAPTER 10
Spirituality and the World
Serious inner spiritual work may sound tedious and demanding (to the ego),
but is exciting to the spirit, which is eager to return home. Consciousness
innately seeks its source. In so doing, it encounters obstacles from which it
may periodically retreat, and this may result in periods of reflection and
reorientation. Periods of resistance or even dismay are normal and to be
expected. Their resolution is often the consequence of recontextualization. Although the personal will and motivation, plus the mind and intellect,
are strong tools, in and of themselves they do not have the strength to
disassemble the ego because they are part and parcel of it. However, once a
seeker becomes devoted, the strength of the spiritual Will via the Presence
of the Self supplies the necessary power. The inner work that arises as a consequence of commitment to
Enlightenment is at times admittedly experientially difficult or even
arduous. Although this is due to resistance, the sheer seeming difficulty may
provoke discouragement or a temptation to abandon the goal. This,
however, is also to be expected and therefore merely included in the
material to be processed. Contemplation results in insights consequent to redefinition and
recontextualization. In the meantime, other spiritual practices continue,
such as meditation, prayer, service, and spiritual group activities. The
letting-go process encounters inner fixations and addictions to various ego
pay-offs and lures. Sometimes periods of retreat are helpful, and at other
times, active involvement in spiritual activities is beneficial. Frequently, the
seemingly impossible obstacle mysteriously and spontaneously disappears
and resolves itself. Aside from ordinary resistances that are innate to the ego itself and
therefore not really ‘personal’, there are inherited propensities as a
consequence of karmic factors. These can sometimes be intuited either by
prayer or even by specific investigation, such as with past-life recall
techniques. Persistent patterns indicate that the source of the problem is still
unconscious. A useful uncovering technique is to presume that there is a
repressed aspect in the unconscious, and that the unconscious is not onlypersonal but also collective, described by Carl Jung as the “collective
unconscious.” Thus, certain problems are merely the karmic inheritance of
being human. In practice, for example, if other people persistently seem cruel or rude,
it may be beneficial to forgive and pray for help for that hidden aspect in
oneself that is cruel, rude, and unforgiving. These aspects can be accepted
in that they are impersonal to some extent, yet one is responsible for them
as a participant human being. For example, if others seem selfish or stingy,
pray for that aspect in oneself that is that way. It is often surprising to
discover that there is such a deeply repressed hidden trend that may well be
just a consequence of human inheritance and experience. Asceticism
This is a useful practice at various periods by which one accomplishes
detachment from the senses and their endless search for pleasure and
sensation. Success brings a sense of accomplishment. The senses search for
pleasure via amusement, excitement, and the lure of enticements that
increase appetite and desire. Their origination was in the animal phase of
evolution and instinctual in origin. A useful technique to overcome them is
to delay gratification of sensory desires, and before seeking to satisfy them,
surrender either resisting or desiring the sensations themselves, for
example, the craving feeling, and not label them. Actually, one does not
experience ‘hunger’, which is actually a nominalization, a label, and a
diagnosis. The actual physical sensations are merely that and not a ‘need’. When ignored and surrendered, they recede and fade away. Therefore, if
there is a desire, ignore the desire and focus on the actual sensations
themselves. In a surprisingly few minutes, the craving recedes. Another
trick is to only eat when not hungry and to eat prophylactically in
anticipation so


  of  life,  when  the  means  defy  the  laws  of
universal  dharma,  that  pursuit  becomes  a  living  hell. Dharma,  the  universal  law  of  nature,  is  part  of  every
society,  every  tradition,  every  religion,  as  it  is  part  of
every  human  being. By  common  sense,  we  are  aware
when  we  rub  against  the  grain  of  what  is  right. Through  that  Vermont  winter,  I  cossetted  myself
in  the  warmth  of  a  raging  fire  only  to  feel  the  desolate
cold  of  my  inner  being. How  many  inner  signals  I
must  have  missed  to  find  myself  confronted  with  this
fatal  situation. How  wrong  I  was  in  trying  to  rewrite
my  destiny. For  those  few  months,  my  nightmares
became  reality  as  I  delved  into  all  my  unconscious

agendas. Cancer,  indeed,  has  a  way  of  knocking  us
down  in  order  to  get  us  out  of  our  own  way. According  to  the  Vedas,  the  ancient  sacred  scrip-
tures of  India,  six  qualities  are  necessary  to  succeed  in
any  venture:  proper  effort;  perseverance;  courage;
knowledge  of  the  given  pursuit;  skill  and  resources;
and  the  capacity  to  overcome  obstacles. While  these
qualities  brought  me  great  success  in  the  material
world,  ironically  I  had  neglected  to  apply  them  to  my
life  as  a  human  being. As  a  result,  my  shallow  success
inevitably  had  to  collapse. I  had  tampered  with  uni-
versal forces  and  thus  was  deprived  of  their  invincible
protection. Finally  I  reached  the  bottom  and  felt  that  to  con-
tinue to  live  would  be  too  brutal. Too  tired  to  pursue
answers  to  the  great  mysteries,  I  prayed  to  quietly  slip
away. In  the  agony  of  this  prayer,  a  vision  of  my  father
appeared. I  had  severed  all  ties  with  my  father  and
family  twelve  years  earlier. As  his  image  appeared  to
me  my  life  began  to  turn  inside  out. The  floodgates  of
cognition  burst  open,  and  memories  of  the  past
washed  through  my  mind. All  the  closets  were  being
emptied;  all  the  monsters  were  pouring  out. As  I  be-
held his  face — humbled  by  the  years,  seasoned  with
wisdom,  quiet  and  compassionate — I  was  startled  not
to  find  the  terrifying  giant  of  my  childhood. He  seemed
to  know  of  my  grief  and  was  appearing  to  remind  me
of  something  I  had  forgotten  since  childhood. That
something  was  karma. The  word  dropped  like  a  bomb. The  inescapable,  the  inevitable. What  was  death  but  a
cosmic  reaction  to  all  actions  in  life,  a  notch  in  the
wheel  of  life,  and  a  guaranteed  rebirth. According  to  the  Vedas,  a  human  birth  is  not  easy
to  achieve. Once  the  human  body  materializes,
whether  we  understand  it  as  due  to  karma  or  to  natu-
ral selection,  the  factor  of  free  will  and  the  power  of
self-reflection  come  into  play. The  human  birth  is  the
only  one  endowed  with  the  capacity  to  make  choices. Each  choice  we  make  fuels  the  turning  of  the  wheel  of
karma. Once  we  recognize  this  innate  power,  we  must
take  responsibility  for  all  our  actions. I  saw  that  to  slip
away  silently  would  only  compound  my  errors. I  would
then  incur  even  more  pain  in  the  next  life  on  the
continuum  of  the  life  cycle. For  death,  according  to
the  laws  of  karma,  is  but  a  brief  silenc  ing  <>f  memory. The  Atman,  which  is  the  immortal  spirit  in  each  of  us,
continues,  as  do  the  collective  memories  of  all  our
lives,  which  serve  as  essential  guides  through  all  time. Our  choices  and  actions  determine  the  nature  of  our
rebirths. We  are  fully  accountable  for  the  choice  to
die,  like  the  choice  to  live. If  death  was  not  the  abso-
lute resolution,  what  was  my  big  hurry  to  stop  spin-
ning the  wheel  of  life? I  had  to  act  according  to  the
dharma. I  had  no  choice  but  to  see  this  birth  through
to  its  proper  conclusion. Cancer  showed  me  the  false
notions  of  my  ways  and  the  truth  of  the  saying,
Dharma  raksati  raksatah:  if  you  protect  dharma,  it
will  protect  you. One  day  after  three  months,  I  left  Vermont  with
the  full  knowledge  that  I  would  live. From  that  day  on
I  felt  death's  grip  loosen. Free  of  my  old  burdens,  I
had  a  lightness  and  a  certain  serenity. I  took  complete
control  of  my  life. Most  of  my  recovery  had  in  fact
occurred  during  those  few  timeless  months. Upon
my  returning  to  the  world  and  having  several  tests,  no
sign  of  cancer  was  present  in  my  blood. Prior  to  Ver-
mont, the  growth  rate  of  my  tumors  had  been  rapid. Now  only  the  tumor  above  one  kidney  remained,  and
it  was  about  the  same  size  as  before. It  was  clear  that
my  purging  had  arrested  the  disease,  and  that  1  was
on  the  winning  side. Since  the  remaining  tumor  was  inoperable,  1  was
presented  with  a  new  set  of  options. A  complete  diet
and  lifestyle  change  was  inevitable,  but  these  changes
would  take  a  long  time  to  finally  rid  my  body  oi  the
tumor. Fears  lingered,  as  I  was  still  unable  to  trust
that  the  intelligence  ol  nature,  my  nature,  would  rid
my  body  of  all  foreign  matter .is  the  connection  to

into  a  course  of  chemotherapy  treatment. Although  I
had  lost  faith  in  the  scientific  medical  practices,  I  was
still  dependent  on  the  scientists,  with  then  obsession
to  achieve  the  end  regardless  ol  means. 1  understood
that  before  mv  Vermont  sojourn,  I  had  been  absent

 India,  idli  is  usually
served  with  sambar  (a  spicy  vegetable-dhal  soup)  or
chutney. Uppama,  the  classic  breakfast  cereal  of  South
India,  is  made  from  cracked  wheat;  roasted  dhals,
vegetables,  and  spices  are  added  to  create  a  wheat
pilaf,  which  is  usually  served  with  a  coconut  chutney. Vada  is  a  festive  food  of  both  North  and  South
India  made  from  freshly  ground  urad  dhal  mixed
with  the  customary  freshly  ground  condiments  and
spices,  such  as  coconut,  ginger,  and  onions,  and
formed  into  small  balls  that  are  then  deep-fried  and
served  with  chutneys. Chapatis  are  the  original  unleavened  bread. From
primordial  time,  bread  has  been  an  important  part  of
humankind's  daily  sustenance. From  the  "breaking  of
bread"  to  the  "daily  bread,"  bread  has  been  the  sym-
bol of  serving,  reaping,  and  sharing. The  original
chapati  was  made  into  a  dough  from  whole  wheat
and  then  buried  under  coals  in  a  baking  hole  dug  into
the  earth. Over  the  centuries,  thousands  of  variations
upon  this  primal  theme  have  been  developed. In
northern  India,  wheat  in  its  freshly  ground  form,
used  in  the  preparation  of  chapatis,  is  more  common
than  either  wheat  berries  or  rice. Roti,  or  paratha,  is  another  form  of  unleavened  flat
bread. These  are  usually  thicker  than  chapati. The  deep-fried  preparations  presented  on  the  pages
that  follow  are  for  occasional  use  only. K  types  need
to  be  especially  wary  of  all  richly  oiled  and  salted
foods,  and  use  them  sparingly. Vadas,  pakoras,  and
bondis  may  be  baked  instead  of  deep-fried. Also,  rye,
millet,  and  barley  are  best  substituted  for  rice  in  the
following  recipes  for  K  types. P  types  may  omit  the
heat-producing  spices  such  as  chilis  and  ginger;  re-
duce the  quantity  of  mustard  seeds;  add  the  P  type
balancing  spices,  such  as  coriander,  cumin,  and  car-
damom; and  use  barley  and  wheat  instead  of  rice. The
deep-frying  method  may  be  used  by  V  and  P  types,
but  all  excess  oil  should  be  thoroughly  drained  off. Grated  daikon  should  be  served  with  all  fried  and  oily
foods  for  all  types. Daikon  helps  the  body  break  down
and  remove  excess  oil  which  would  normally  be  stored
in  the  tissues  as  fat. Vadai
