You will notice we said "Continuing Education Service," and we are going right ahead to do this very thing. For a number of years now, it has been dangerous to even say the word cancer from the podium for fear of being arrested for prescribing medicine, when one is only talking about cancer. This is something that has been very sad--that we have lost our freedom of speech!
We are going to talk on this very subject--cancer, and ask, "Will the natural wholistic program of healing help stamp out this curse to humanity?" Wholistic healing was taught by Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, and has been passed on down through history. Will its philosophy help or will it not help overcome the conditions of cancer? Are we entitled to know right from wrong? We feel that the right way to treat a human being is to follow the instructions of simplicity, as suggested by the Creator. We have gone into such technical routines to try to heal disease, and have become so confused that it is disheartening. The wholistic program of natural healing is not even interested in the word disease. It is interested in health, and a healthy body will not have disease. So this is how we try to work on one of the great problems of all time.

For maybe forty years I have given the advice, which has also been given to me by teachers and doctors ahead of me, that cancer can be cured. This can be done under certain conditions.

As we have often said "there are no incurable diseases, but there are incurable people." Here are a few:
1. The individual who is a hypochondriac, who enjoys ill health, and will not follow the advice. It is a waste of time to talk to them because they enjoy ill health, and they enjoy the pleasure of having people bow and scrape to them--those who try to make life a little easier for them. Maybe some of these individuals were wallflowers and nobody paid any attention to them, so they became very sickly. Now they are actually hypochondriacs, and everything that sounds like it might help, they might try for a short time to get attention, but they won't try diligently enough to follow through. They still enjoy ill health best of all!

2. The second type of individual that we cannot help is the one whose "time has come." "Everything moves in its time and season." There is an hour to be born, and there is an hour to die. We cannot dispute this because when our job is done here on earth, and we have done either the good or the evil that we have come to earth to do, the good Lord says, "it's your time." I don't care if you have a staff of the greatest doctors on the face of the earth, that individual is going to go! And, this is right, isn't it?

3. The third type that we cannot help is the lazy individual who just can't seem to follow a program. They leave the aids on the shelf; they will not follow through on the therapies or even on "Thought patterns"...i.e. mind over matter; magic of believing,". They are not what we call faithful patients. The faithful patient is one who will follow the program as many times a day as needed, accepting all physical inconveniences, whatever program a good natural wholistic instructor has given them. Those who are faithful to the program, six days a week (never seven), week after week, will be healed, if it is to be.

I mentioned six days a week. I was in practice for well over twenty years before I realized the good Lord meant what He said when He said, "Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work". He was referring to the human body as well as our jobs, etc. The human body will labor six days and it is ready to drop its toxic poisons on the seventh day. And it does need a day of rest. So this is what a faithful individual should do-six days a week of therapy, week after week, until they get results.

This principle of natural healing is what was given to us in the very beginning, according to the scriptures. Here we have been instructed, step by step, on the very foods that we should eat; and, the very way we should live concerning the intake (food) into the body necessary to keep us going. This should be of the finest material we can get. The good Lord has advised us of this. By the way, many people believe that the Bible is our instruction manual, just like an automobile manual is for your specific car, so the Bible is for the human body. As we have quoted in earlier newsletters or lectures, Genesis I tells us that our green seed-bearing herbs are to be used as meat for man (or, of course, as the fuel for the body). From the time of Adam down to Noah, his faithful people followed this advice. They ate fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds which are the fruits of the green seed-bearing herbs, and they abstained from the use of meats, for there is no history of meat eating during that time! So man lived to be up to a thousand years old. (Methuselah was 969). Even Josephus, the great historian, will back this up.

At the time of the flood the Lord said to take seven of the clean animals on the ark, but to take only two (a pair each) of the rest of the animals that lived on the face of the earth. The Lord knew what was going to happen. In our Latter-Day scriptures it says, "Meat is to be used in times of cold, winter, and famine," and here is a good example of famine. When Noah and his people landed on Mount Ararat, would they have found good vegetation under all of the sea water rising over the area? Of course not; at first they had no vegetation, and it would have been starvation--a time of famine. So they started eating the flesh from the clean animals they had on board ship, so we are told. They got into the habit of it, and if you go back in history, you will find that in three generations, man's life had dropped from nearly a thousand years down to 120 years. This is one of the lower-grade "fuels" that a person who is sincere in wanting to get rid of the cancer will eliminate--all red meats. And the very best way to get good results is to discontinue all meats, whether it is red or fowl or fish. But with our patients that are just trying to clean up the body, we ask them to cut off all red meats and taper down gradually on fowl and fish.

From this point on we find that we will have a faster procedure of body healing if one is on a good vegetation diet, instead of putting into an already sick body the toxic poisons found in animal flesh.

I had a very interesting thing happen to me a few weeks past. As I left Salt Lake City by plane, settling into my seat, and getting out my reading materials to occupy my mind for the several hours of flying, I was interrupted by the lady sitting next to me. She asked me, "Where are you going?" "To Toronto Canada," I replied, and continued my reading. "What are You going there for, business or pleasure?" "Oh", I responded, "just to lecture". I again opened my book to read and try to relax. "My that sounds exciting, what subjects do you lecture on?" she asked. I told her I lectured on herbs, diet and health. I had kept my finger in the volume as a bookmark, and so I again opened it, thinking 'that will sound dull enough', but that's just what she wanted to talk about.

She then told me that she had gone to her family doctor a couple of years ago because she had a lot of pain in her left breast. He examined her and told her it was "cancer", and that the breast would have to be removed. She was sent almost immediately to the hospital for surgery, with the assurance and promise that it was the only way. After the operation, she was told that a "GOOD JOB HAD BEEN DONE, ALL THE CANCER WAS REMOVED, AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT EVER RECURRING. Nevertheless, in about six months, pains developed in the other breast. Upon examination, her doctor informed her that the other breast would also have to be removed. She went home after that next operation an extremely sad, and frightened woman who was plagued with an inner fear of maybe more trouble to come!

Months went by and then pains developed in her abdominal and pelvic area. Examination showed possibility of an abundance of cancer in this area, and she was told again that treatments would have to start immediately. She was given no assurance of healing this time, just treatment by chemotherapy, surgery, etc., to help relieve the pain. So she told her doctor he had operated twice, removing part of her body each time, and that she was not going to allow any more cutting--she just wanted to go home and try to help herself.

This idea, of course was ridiculed and warned against, but she made up her mind, and she went home!

She stated that she knew nothing about medicine, herbs, treatments of any kind; so, she said, "Do you know what I did?"

Now the picture had changed, I was no longer annoyed about having my reading time interrupted. I had taken my "bookmark" out, and closed the book. I was now the one asking questions. "No, what did you do?" I asked. She then told me a story that was very exciting, yet very simple, because it is just what I have been teaching after forty years of study and research.

But, this lady was prompted by a divine source, as to the plan to follow for a healing. She felt strongly that her diet had been in error and knew it had to be changed.

I was all attention now, and wanted to know what diet she went on. "Just the plainest one I could think of--fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds," she replied. She ate as many of these foods as possible in their raw or wholesome state. The grains and hard seeds she would soak on low heat. (How simple can you get? I think the good Lord wants us to keep things simple).

She said that the last examination was two years ago, and then she started on the "new" (actually as old as life itself) diet, using nothing else. After a period of time, she was feeling much better and the pains had gone. She went back to the doctor for another examination, He was astounded. Only a small indication of cancer showed on the pap smear; otherwise, he pronounced her healed.

A few months went by, she had been faithful with her "new" diet and the next examination showed complete healing--a healthy body!

This lady was bubbling over with enthusiasm and asked me if I could guess what she was doing now. She told me she had been receiving invitations from various groups throughout the country and was traveling to many areas teaching women the "new" way of eating to prevent and/or heal cancer--I was glad for that visit and testimony!

Diet has been ignored, ridiculed and laughed at since long before the turn of the century by doctors who specialize in fighting disease and labeling and learning about disease germs. It is refreshing to see a change gradually coming over them and noting that many of them are turning to the idea that diet might have something to do with good or bad health.

"The simple addition of fresh fruits and vegetables to one's diet may act to minimize an individual's chance of acquiring intestinal cancer," said Dr. Guy Newell, deputy director of the National Cancer Institute.

"The link between nutrition and cancer is a young and exciting area." [the natural wholistic healers have been using this principle since before Hippocrates--author] We are moving into an era in which people want to do more for themselves to safeguard their health," he said.

"Fiber, or roughage, is the nondigestible part of food formed commonly in whole grains such as wheat grain, nuts, fresh fruits, and vegetables.

He goes on to say that eating and drinking habits associated with digestive tract cancers include: high fat-low fiber-cancers of the colon and pancreas; low intake of Vitamin C and E-cancers of the stomach and liver; heavy alcoholic consumption-cancer of the oral cavity, larynx, and esophagus.

Here is a good example: Ronald Kotulak, medical reporter of the Chicago Tribune, stated in an article, the second of a five-part series on the increasing incidence of digestive diseases, which inflicts one in six Americans:

"Since the turn of the century the average American's diet has dramatically changed for the worse, causing a modern day plague of digestive woes, according to many experts.

These dietary failures are to blame for the three most common disturbances of the digestive tract and fourth disorder that is a killer, they say.

As the result of the things he eats or doesn't eat, every American runs a nearly 100 percent chance of developing one of the big "three" digestive problems--irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulosis, and hemorrhoids--and a 1-25 chance of being hit by the killer, colon cancer.

All four are linked to a drastic reduction in the amount of fiber people eat. Scientists call them diseases of Western Man."

The Big Three disorders are practically unknown in under-developed countries where people still stick to the high fiber-low fat diet that our ancestors thrived on.

Recent studies indicate that this epidemic of gastrointestinal agony can be reversed by putting more fiber back into the diet.

"lt is possible that if we eat a balanced diet, including an adequate intake of fiber," said Dr. Joseph Kirsner, a University of Chicago gastroenterologist, "we can protect ourselves against these three common disorders."

The outlook for colon cancer is equally encouraging. Research in the last five years has opened the door to a potentially major reduction in colon cancer and other tumors that affect the digestive system.

The American Cancer Society estimates that 112,000 people will get colon-rectum cancer this year and that 52,000 will die from the disease.

"If through education of the individual and education of the provider of foods, from the farmer to the manufacturer and the distributor, we secure a slight but definite restructuring of the diet of the Western World, we would go a long way toward reducing the risk for cancer of the stomach and colon," said Dr. John Weisburger, of the New York-based American Health Foundation.

He continues, "Only now are scientists beginning to realize that the diet of many Americans, which is high in animal and dairy fats, may lead to man-made cancers."

"The type of diet we consume today, and for that matter, its preparation, may be a kind of diet for which we were not prepared, from an evolutionary point of view," said Dr. Ernst Wynder, president of the American Health Foundation.

THE GREAT CANCER CONTROVERSY
Is it merely a fraud or the cure for the disease that's the scourge of the '70's?

In January 1974 LaVeeta Vernon was admitted to an Oklahoma City hospital for treatment of shingles, knots, and nodules hanging from her neck. She also complained of a growth in her groin. Doctors diagnosed an infection and prescribed antibiotics. They sent her home. A few days later she returned with the same symptoms, and this time the doctors diagnosed a nervous condition. They put her in an ambulance and sent her to a psychiatric clinic.

When she arrived she was crying, so the psychiatrists immediately ordered electric shock treatments. She remembered little about the next three weeks. Still the nodules persisted and seemed to be growing larger.

Finally she was admitted to University Hospital. Eight months after her first complaint doctors diagnosed massive cancer of the bone marrow, lymph glands, and spleen. The disease affected about 75 percent of her body.

Next came eight months of chemotherapy--severe drugs prescribed to attack the cancer cells. The chemotherapy cost about $20,000, most of it paid by Medicare. At the end of the eight months Mrs. Vernon's weight had dropped from 140 to 106 pounds. She was suffering from blood clots. Her husband pushed her around in a wheel chair. Her doctor told her she would never walk again.

Then she heard about a cancer treatment called Laetrile, from her sister in California. She tried to buy some at a local health store, but was told that it was illegal.

Desperate, Don and LaVeeta Vernon took a vacation in Tijuana, Mexico.

Clinica Del Mar is one of the three locations in the border towns where visiting cancer patients can buy Laetrile. Run by Dr. Ernesto Contreras, the clinic treats more than 100 cancer patients a day. Laetrile is legal in Mexico (and also Japan, Germany, and 20 other countries). In a renovated warehouse on a back street in Tijuana, Mexican workers grind up apricot kernels into a fine, white powder that is rich in cyanide. From the powder they produce yellow tablets and pale serum.

According to the theories of Laetrile's patron saint, Dr. Ernest T. Krebs, the cyanide in Laetrile attacks cancer cells directly, whereas normal cells contain an enzyme that neutralizes the cyanide. Result: THE CANCER CELLS DIE.

"It's a superb biological principle," commented Dr. Frank Rauscher of the American Cancer Society. "I wish it worked."

LaVeeta Vernon wished for all her might that it would work.

Three weeks of treatments at the Clinica Del Mar cost her more than $2,000 in cash (no checks are accepted.)

Shortly after she returned to Oklahoma she was able to leave her wheelchair and walk. She stopped her chemotherapy and continued to take smuggled Laetrile tablets for the next six months. She says that her doctor told her, "I have never seen a case like yours. Something is happening, I don't know what." When she admitted her use of the forbidden Laetrile, her doctor refused to see her anymore.

In May 1976 LaVeeta Vernon entered the hospital once more to submit to a complete battery of cancer tests. The results showed the presence of cancer cells, but they had become dormant. She joined a growing number of Americans determined to fight the dictates of the medical establishment.

Did Laetrile cure LaVeeta Vernon? What is this miracle powder? Why has the medical profession refused to pursue its promise?

Dr. Vincent DeVita, clinical director of the Stoan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research, the nation's premier cancer research organization, explains stories like LaVeeta Vernon's (and there are many) as example of the "placebo" (or "sugar pill") effect. In other words, the patient responds emotionally to what he or she believes to be a cancer cure--and actually experiences a remission of the disease, or relief from pain.

The medical establishment has aligned itself firmly against Laetrile. The American Cancer Society lumps Laetrile with 71 other unproven methods of cancer management and vigorously opposes any program to legalize it. The American Medical Association takes a similar view. So does the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. On the Mar. 31, 1974, broadcast of "60 Minutes", Dr. Rauscher, who was then director of HEW's National Cancer Institute, told CBS reporter Mike Wallace, "I would certainly not turn off Laetrile if it had an iota of activity that we could pinpoint. Unfortunately, there's no evidence at all."

All the research organizations agree that laetrile is harmless. The extract of apricot kernels does no damage to the body. But the medical establishment argues that patients who use Laetrile would ignore the more traditional treatments of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. They also point to the huge profits made by the Laetrile clinics in Mexico. "There are few things that come lower," mutters Dr. Robert Taylor, executive director of the National Cancer Institute of Canada.

Despite their misgivings, officials of the U.S. National Cancer Institute yielded to the pressure of Laetrile's proponents and supported tests at various research facilities.

Sloan-Kettering first ran tests on Laetrile in 1973. The early tests indicated that Laetrile did, indeed, seem to inhibit the growth of malignant tumors in mice. But the researchers were unconvinced. They tried again. In July 1975 they released the results of those final studies, which they said, failed to confirm the early tests. The verdict: Laetrile had no effect on reducing the spread of cancer in mice. Sloan-Kettering said it would discontinue further studies on Laetrile and concentrate on more promising lines of research.

The issue seemed to be dead.

Then on August 23, 1975, Mike Culbert, editor of The Choice, the newsletter of a California group called The Committee for Freedom of Choice in Cancer Therapy, opened his morning mail to discover an anonymous letter typed on Sloan-Kettering stationery. The letter began:

"Here are some of the results of Sloan-Kettering's continuing experiments with Laetrile. Due to political pressure these results are being suppressed. Please do your best to bring these important findings to the attention of the people."

The package contained test results that seemed to indicate that at least seven series of tests on mice showed positive results for Laetrile. The work was purportedly done by Dr. Kanematsu Sugiura at Sloan-Kettering. Dr. Sugiura later confirmed the results.

Why had the tests been suppressed? Who is telling the truth about Laetrile? Is it beneficial or not? And why the renewed interest in a cure dismissed by the medical establishment years ago?

Last year, cancer patient Glen Rutherford appealed to the U.S. District Court in Oklahoma City to allow him to use Laetrile in his treatment. In October 1976, Federal Judge Luther Bohanon issued an injunction prohibiting the Food and Drug Administration from interfering with Rutherford's right to import Laetrile for his own treatment. At the same time, Bohanon ordered the FDA to compile an administrative record to prove that it has jurisdiction to ban interstate shipment of the substance. (Proponents of Laetrile believe it is a substance and not a drug, thereby taking the material out of the hands of Federal authorities).

In response to the court order, the FDA announced on February 17th that it invited public testimony on the legal and scientific status of Laetrile. The FDA began holding open hearings in Kansas City on May 2nd. Officials for that organization have announced that the proceeding is being undertaken "solely because the agency was directed to do so by the Court of Appeals."

In a comfortable old house in northwest Washington, D.C., lives a 73-year-old retired biochemist by the name of Dr. Dean Burk. Today he spends much of his time painting or playing Bach on his harpsichord. But when he retired in 1974 he had completed 17 years as chief chemist of the National Cancer Institute. His credentials are impeccable. All told, he spent 35 years in various capacities as a National Cancer Institute chemist. He was a professor at Cornell University Medical College and at George Washington University. He has published more than 250 articles in respected scientific journals. He has received numerous awards and honors. "I have no ax to grind," he says calmly, setting into an easy chair. "I am retired with a good pension from the government. I have no need for money. I've had all the power and prestige I ever want, I've thrown away my clocks and calendars."

He paused to light a cigar.

"l suppose I've tested Laetrile on more than 5,000 mice. I know more about Laetrile than anyone else in the world."

"Does it work?" I asked.

"In general, its as good as anything else. And it has the tremendous advantage of being nontoxic. All the drugs used for chemotherapy are poisons. They produce harmful side effects. They also lower the body's resistance to infection. Laetrile is not a drug. It is a vitamin. At least five well-established laboratories in three countries of the world have produced definite evidence of anti-cancer activity. One is the Southern Research Center of Birmingham, Ala., which was programmed by the National Cancer Institute to make such studies. Its data indicated overwhelmingly positive results under appropriate experimental conditions."

"Why, then, hasn't the medical establishment promoted its use?"

"They're not interested in finding cures. I'm sorry, but they're not," Burk replied.

"What are they interested in?"

"Your guess is as good as mine," Burk said. "People find it difficult to believe, but a few years back they would have found it difficult to believe anything as sinister as Watergate. I've read enough Shakespeare to know that human nature has no limits in any direction."

Dr. Burk explained that Laetrile therapy has grown despite the opposition of the organized medical profession. Desperate visits to Tijuana are not necessary. "Anyone who wants Laetrile can get it," he asserts. "The Cancer Control Society in Los Angeles puts out a list of sources. A lot of health food stores sell it openly under different names such as amygdalin or vitamin B-17. Two thousand American physicians prescribe it regularly for their patients (one is Dr. Larry McDonald, a urologist who is U.S. Representative from Georgia's 7th District.) There are 50,000 people in America using Laetrile right now. They do not ignore traditional cancer treatments. Anyone with cancer wants to try all approaches."

"But what about the 'quacks', the clinics in Mexico charging thousands of dollars?"

"If Laetrile was used more openly in America there would be no need for those clinics. And if you want to discuss fees, the cost of traditional cancer treatments are far greater. On the average, $20,000. There are no bigger quacks than the people in the National Cancer Institute who take public money and don't do their best to find cancer therapies. They are the supreme examples of quacks."

"But why? Why would they do such a thing?"

"The opponents of Laetrile talk mostly of ignorance. Some out of malice."

"What do they have to gain?"

Dr. Burk smiled. "No one can read another person's mind. But when an organization gets locked into a position it finds it difficult to change direction. The National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society have been fighting Laetrile for years. They would be embarrassed to admit their error. Dr. Rauscher, by the way, recently left the National Cancer Institute to join the American Cancer Society at a salary of about $75,000 a year."

"Let's talk more about money. Wouldn't the drug companies be able to make a lot of money by selling Laetrile on the open market?"

"No," Dr. Burk said. "Laetrile is not patented. It is in the public domain. Anyone could make it and sell it cheaply."

"Are the drug companies afraid?"

"They keep a low profile. But they are big supporters of the American Cancer Society and the American Medical Association. You have to draw your own conclusions.'

Dr. Burk re-lit his cigar.

"What," I asked, "would you do if you learned that you had cancer?"

"The first thing I would do is to take about 50 apricot kernels each day, thrown them into my coffee grinder, and swallow the powder. . . "

Dr. Edward Shook states in his advanced book on herbs that there are over one thousand cures for cancer. This is speaking on the subject of feeding the body and rebuilding it in order to overcome the toxic conditions of cancer.

There are many other procedures to use in speeding up the elimination of cancer cells from the body. A procedure to start with is "Dr. Christopher's Natural Routine."

DR. CHRISTOPHER'S NATURAL ROUTINE
The patient may have suffered for a long period of time. Because of the years of improper eating, his body is now suffering from malnutrition. Not the amount of food that has been eaten matters, but the quality and how well it has been assimilated. We accept lots of food into our bodies, but only that which has been properly assimilated can be utilized for rebuilding and repairing cells and malfunction areas. Proper assimilation is acquired by "drinking the solid foods and chewing the liquid food." This is an old and true axiom. We should thoroughly chew the solid foods, mixing saliva with them until the food becomes a liquid; then we drink it. The liquid foods must be swished (or chewed) in the mouth, then swallowed. The saliva thoroughly mixed with the foods is the key that opens up the doors of digestion. Without mixing saliva with the food, the balance of the digestive juices are not activated for good assimilation. By gulping, "inhaling" or bolting the food down without properly mixing sativa with it, we only get eight to ten percent of its value. By properly chewing we can raise this to forty or forty-five percent. The balance is generally cellulose or indigestible fiber. We not only receive far better health, but also save money. Food is one of our largest expenditures, and if we can get four to six times better assimilation and use four to six times less food we are saving a lot of money! This simple method alone, which gives better assimilation, can promise superior health and a happier life. With one fourth or one third of the food we have been used to eating, we can receive much more power and energy. Remember a large part of your success will come from chewing both solid foods and liquid foods.

FIRST WEEK OF WHOLISTIC AID

FOOD. Many people feel that without three large meals of solid food each day they will shrivel up, starve and blow away. Dr. N.W. Walker, in his book RAW VEGETABLE JUICES, and Johanna Brandt, in her book THE GRAPE CURE, will both assure you that the juices alone will sustain you in health for a long time while healing.

The following suggestions are for an old chronic condition, not an acute one requiring emergency treatments. For the first week, drink as much fresh carrot juice as desired. Some people can be satisfied with a quart, others up to a gallon or more. Drink, by chewing, an eight-ounce glass or more each hour during the day for six days the first week.

Drink one cup or more of slippery elm gruel each day. The liquid can be as thin or thick as desired. With this herb you take the powder and carefully mix enough liquid with it to form a paste, because it does not mix easily. Then thin it to the consistency desired. A little honey can be added if you like. Drink also one cup or more of comfrey leaf or root tea each day. Twenty minutes before of after drinking the juice, tea, or gruel you may drink as much steam-distilled water as you desire.

HERBAL FOODS. One cup or more of this cell building tea (BF&C), Formula no. 1 of this pamphlet, should be used for the rebuilding of cells in flesh, cartilage and bones. Also take one cup three times a day of a red clover combination tea as a blood purifier, Formula no. 2.

Each day, with some of the liquid being used, take the following:

Two or more herbal bowel aids (FEN LB) in number 0 capsules three times a day for regularity, as solids are not now cleansing the bowels. The formula is no. 3.

Two or more pancreas aid (Panc-Tea) number 0 capsules three times a day, to assist the bowel aid. Pancreas aid formula is number 5.

Two or more calcium aid (Calc-Tea) number 0 capsules three times a day for a good herbal calcium. The formula is number 6.

THREE OIL MASSAGE. The first two days the patient should be massaged with castor oil, using a clockwise circular motion from the top of the head to the bottom of the feet, always working toward the heart. The next two days use olive oil, and the last two days of the week massage with wheat germ oil.

By using the skin as a filtering agent the castor oil cleans and flushes the skin; and goes into the blood stream, aiding in the removal of mucus and toxins from the inner body. The olive oil is a complete food itself and will penetrate into the body to feed and rebuild muscles, flesh and the entire system. Wheat germ oil is a healing oil, high in vitamin E, valuable in rejuvenating the body.

On the seventh day rest the patient, using no foods, herbs or juice, only steam-distilled water, as much as is desired.

SUNBATH. Immediately after the massage, each day take a sunbath in the nude and not through glass but in the direct sun. Only allow two minutes on the front and two minutes on the back the first day. Then add two minutes front and back each day, but no more. In six days you will be up to twelve minutes front and twelve minutes back. Do not sunbathe between eleven in the morning and one o'clock in the afternoon, that is, not at high noon. If it is a cloudy or cold day, use a sunlamp, but do not allow a burn.

The sun is the world's greatest doctor but must be used by building up the exposed time in the sun gradually so as to not burn. Do not be alarmed by articles in national publications each spring, warning people to avoid sunbathing, saying it is cancer-forming. The sun cannot cause cancer. If you do not gradually increase the use of it, but lie in the sun for long lengths of time and burn, certainly it is dangerous for it will cause a severe toxic burn, but it is not cancer forming. If cancer is already in the bloodstream and the body, the sun can ripen it and bring it to the surface, but that is the only way skin cancer can result from the sun.

Ask any aborigine, Indian or member from any tribal area where only loin cloth, if anything, is worn. There is no cancer, although their bare skin is exposed constantly to the sun the year around. If any of them develop skin cancer, he would have been eating the civilized (?) man's food for a sufficient period of time to get the body into a toxic condition.

John N. Ott's book, HEALTH AND LIGHT, will explain further the benefits of healing with light. Here this research scientist tells how natural (sun) light is a food or nutrient and can cure many ills and keep us well, while the wrong kind (artificial light) can make us ill. You'll read how certain ailments respond to a daily treatment of full spectrum light.

BATHS. Each day the patient should have a hot bath followed by a cold shower or tub. No soap should be used for the bath unless it is a good biodegradable body cleanser. Each day before the bath give a dry skin brushing (always toward the heart) using a natural bristle brush (not nylon). Sixty percent of all of our breathing is done through the skin, so it must be kept clean with water and brushing. The skin is our "second set of kidneys" and must be kept in good condition.

CLOTHING. We should use only natural fibers for the clothes we wear, and also for our bed covers. Synthetic cloth does not breathe; and we need all the oxygen obtainable, the "breath of life." Do not strangle or choke the body with cloth that is a barrier tO oxygen. Do not use synthetic cloth for straining herbal drinks or for fomentations and bandaging. Use only natural fibers, such as cotton, wool, linen or silk.

HERBAL FOMENTATIONS. We use an herbal fomentation each night of the six days of the week. lt should cover the head area (hair line), down the spine, all the way down to the end of the tailbone. Make the cap fit down to the ears (or use a cotton or wool skull cap) and stitch a flannel strip four or five inches wide down the back over the spine area. After wetting the fomentation cloth with Formula number 1, so that it is not too drippy, cover it with a plastic over the head (shower cap, etc.) and a strip down the spine. Thus the moisture will go into the body and not the bedding and mattress. the fomentation down the back can be held into place with sweat shirt and shorts.

To aid the motor nerve and spinal cord, use our combination explained in formula number 7 at the back of this pamphlet, inserting with an eye dropper four to six drops of oil of garlic and four to six drops of Herb Tincture into each ear six nights a week. Plug the ears with cotton overnight and on the seventh day flush out the ears with half and half warm apple cider vinegar and distilled water. Repeat this each week during the program.

ZONAL FOOT MASSAGE (REFLEXOLOGY). If possible, use zonal therapy on the feet three times a week, leaving one day in between such Monday, Wednesday, Friday, or Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. Zonal therapy will greatly speed up the program. You may find a number of good books on zone therapy at libraries or health food stores.

SECOND WEEK

The second week will be the same as the first except, instead of fresh carrot juice, substitute apple juice. Freshly made apple juice, of course, best. If you do not have a juicer or fresh apples are not available, use a bottled apple juice that has had nothing added. Used canned only in an emergency. Do not use frozen juice, as nearly all frozen juices have additives. During this second week use the three-oil massages, sunbaths, zonal therapy, fomentations, etc. With the sunbaths add two minutes front and back onto the final total of the last week.

On the day of fast there may be some physical reactions because you have reached a cleansing cycle. Toxic poisons break up in the body, accumulating for disposal and causing some upset. Do not be alarmed, for with some people it is more pronounced than with others. This same cyclical reaction can happen in any healing program in the third week, seventh week, seventh month and seventh year. The longer spasms occur in the major cycles and can be more pronounced, by far, than the minor cycles. If a cleansing crisis occurs during this short time, be happy with it and smile through the tears; for it shows the program is working well.

THE THIRD WEEK

Again repeat the full complete program, except instead of carrot or apple juice, during the third week use grape juice. Freshly made is best from dark grapes (concord preferred), juice from organically grown grapes found in some health stores, or any of the standard brands in bottles such as Welch's, Church's, etc. Be sure in the bottled juice there are no additives (preservatives or sugar). It can be pasteurized, but not frozen.

THE FOURTH WEEK AND ON

Continue to rotate the three juices each week as before. You could live on the program for a long period of time, as you are taking rapid-healing and wholesome food. If you desire more solid food, just add one solid meal each day. This meal will consist of a good fresh vegetable combination salad (as many raw fresh vegetables as you desire). If a salad dressing is desired, use a natural one, such as one made with fresh olive oil, apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, and if desired, a small amount of honey, grated fresh onion and garlic to taste, savory salad herbs, coarse freshly ground black pepper, etc.

A small serving of presoaked, low-heated grain may also be added. This is done by taking the whole UNCRACKED grain (wheat, rye, millet, buckwheat, barley or whole oat groats) and soaking it with distilled water. Soak in a cool place so it won't sour, up to twenty hours depending on the hardness of the grain. Then low-heat it in a stainless steel or Pyrex double boiler for twelve to fourteen hours. Use a food thermometer and do not allow the temperature to rise over 130 F. If you use a crockpot, equip it with a dimmer switch or some other type of control so it will not overheat.

In whole live grain you have nearly every known vitamin and mineral known to mankind, but live food must not be killed by overheating,

Professor Arnold Ehret and the Rodale Press have both advised against the use of grain because of its acidity. In its hard state, grain is generally pH 5. By using presoaked, low-heated grain we raise it from the objectionable pH 5 to 7 pH which is easily assimilated.

The salad and grains must be chewed thoroughly until they become liquid, before swallowing. These additions can be used in the healing routine as long as is desired. On this type of food a person can live to a ripe, healthy old age. As the individual improves in health a larger variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds can be used. Later all the lentils, beans and harder seed types with longer soaking and more low-heating can be added. With these, and lowheated grains, delicious casseroles may be created. Potatoes, steamed or slow baked, using skin and all, are a very good food. Use of them fresh olive oil and coarse ground black pepper and, if desired, chives and/or other herbal seasoning.

Use no salt, sugar, eggs, meats, bread, milk or milk products. In a short time you will find the hidden hunger will leave by using the food recommended. The cravings will disappear and you will feel a cozy, unbloated, satisfied fullness that will bring ease and peace.

BREATHING WITH DEPTH

The Lord put into us the breath of life, but we have to keep it there. Shallow breathing is not much life, but full breathing is the full breath of life. Learn to breathe deeply, as is taught in yoga, to get the breath of life into the upper lobes of the lungs.

POWER OF LIFE

Walk or jog barefooted on the lawn to get rid of the static electricity in the body and to allow new electrical vibration to come from the atmosphere. This is pure universal electricity that operates all the parts and organs of the body. It cannot come if static electricity is present, which should be grounded through the feet to keep a continual flow on hand.

This combination has assisted many that have had hypoglycemia after six months or more of using two to three capsules three times a day six days a week (all herbal aids give faster results in six days a week instead of seven) using the same day of each week for rest. They have had a glucose tolerance test with a clean bill of health on the pancreas area. Many reports came in of heavy insulin users who continue using the insulin but by watching litmus paper or other types of diabetic checking have gradually tapered down on the insulin and many, within a year of using two to three or more three times a day six days a week of this combination, have reported to have found complete relief.

On the seventh dav flush ears will a small ear syringe using warm apple cider vinegar and distilled water half and half, Make this herb Tincture by using blue cohosh, black cohosh, blue vervain, scullcap and lobelia in equal parts.

After we have the bowel cleansed, and the blood stream cleaned, we now have the patients on live or whole-raw or low-heated food. Webster's Dictionary defines wholesome as: with the life therein, as in its original state. The word wholesome goes against all of the world's general principles today of "processing food" because herbs in their wholesome state means just that--nothing taken away, cooked, or added. Herbs mean, of course, fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds, as well as the medicinal herbs; and when they are in their wholesome state they are beneficial. But when they have been processed, we are in trouble. It is the processed and sugared foods and drinks that are causing more cases of cancer than can be imagined. They are making a world of weak people and especially a weak nation here in America, because we have had the wealth, but not the brains, to go back to wholesome foods, living off "Mother Earth" as was intended. We buy from the store shelf processed foods that are dead, and death comes with dead food. Life is generated by live food.

So we advise eating fruits, nuts and vegetables and keeping them as raw and as live as possible. Grains may need to be low-heated, and these grains are so important in their "whole" state--not taking out just a little here in the way of a vitamin or a little here in the form of a mineral. That whole grain is so valuable in so many ways with vitamins and natural estrogens and hormones and minerals in the proper proportions (as well as the much needed bulk). When mankind is properly nurtured for generations, these inherent weakness and diseases will be gone.

The wholistic principle of renewing the body is to use any procedure, as well as proper foods, that is helpful (instead of harmful) to the body in any way and here we have given just a few suggestions. Use the wholistic procedure to offset the toxic conditions of a sickly body. Here is the answer to helping an unhealthy body bounce back to a renewed condition of good health.
