FORWARD

It’s rare that the condition on one’s

colon is spoken of openly or aghast -shared in mixed company.

So, here’s a terrific option readingis also “something” we do privately.Take some time alone and open up thesepages, not only will you get moreanswers than you thought you hadquestions to, but - trust me - this is reallya very interesting book!

The original design of the humanbody is as its always been. We put foodin our body. The nutrition is absorbed

into our body. Finally what is left - exits- the body.

Many of the health problems thatwe “live” with are problems we cancontrol by getting rid of what should bemoving through our systems notcollecting in them.

In closing let me just say - you stilldon’t have to verbally share thisinformation, you can just “share a book.”

“I can truthfully say that I am neverconscious of my age. Since I reachedmaturity I have never been aware ofbeing any older, and I can say, withoutequivocation or mental reservation, thatI feel more alive, alert, and full ofenthusiasm today than I did when I was30 years old. I still feel that my bestyears are ahead of me. I never think ofbirthdays, nor do I celebrate them. TodayI can truthfully say that I am enjoyingvibrant health, I don’t mind tellingpeople how old I am: I AM AGELESS!”

The Colon And The HealthOf Your Body

Your Body Needs Attention

Your body is the house in which

you live. By analogy, it is just like thebuilding in which you make your home.Your home needs, at the very least,periodic attention. The roof may leak,the plumbing may get out of order andclog up, termites may drill through thefloors and the walls, and other

innumerable cases of deterioration maymake their appearance. Such is the casewith your physical body. Every functionand activity of your system, day andnight, physical, mental, and spiritual, isdependent on the attention you give to it.

The kind and the quality of the foodyou put into your body is of vitalimportance to every phase of yourexistence. Good nutrition regeneratesand rebuilds the cells and tissues whichconstitute your physical body.Undigested food, and the processes bywhich waste matter is eliminated fromthe body, without fermentation andputrefaction, is dependent as well ongood nutrition. The possibility ofattaining any degree of vibrant health is

prevented if such fermentation occurs,accumulates, and is retained by the body.

The elimination of undigested foodand other waste products is equally asimportant as the proper digestion andassimilation of food. In fact, I can thinkof nothing more significant and vital thanpreventing the danger of inevitableeffects of toxemia and toxic poisons thatare a result of the neglect and failure toexpel feces, debris, and waste matterfrom the body. Few of us realize thatfailure to effectively eliminate wasteproducts from the body causes so muchfermentation and putrefaction in the largeintestine, or colon, that the neglectedaccumulation of such waste can, andfrequently does, result in a lingering

demise!

HEAD, CHEST &ABDOMEN

Cause of Death? - ColonNeglect

The reality and importance of this

colon problem was brought to myconsciousness when I was a very youngman. I was visiting an Aunt in Scotlandwhen one morning a sudden piercingshriek ran through the house from theliving room. There, on the floor, curledup in convulsive agony, was my favoriteteanage cousin. The doctor, was calledimmediately, he declared she must haveburst her appendix. She was rushed to

the hospital in the family carriage in thecompany of the doctor, but she diedwithin a few hours. The old doctor saidhe did not know what caused theappendix to burst; he was not taught inmedical school that it is the naturalresult of neglecting the colon.* From thatday to this, the colon has been the focalpoint of my research.

Your Colon and the FoodYou Eat

If a person has eaten processed,

fried and overcooked foods, devitalizedstarches, sugar and excessive amounts of

salt, his colon cannot possibly beefficient, even if he should have a bowelmovement two to three times a day!Instead of furnishing nourishment to thenerves, muscles, cells and tissues of thewalls of the colon, such foods canactually cause starvation of the colon. Astarved colon may let a lot of fecalmatter pass through it, but it is unable tocarry on the last of the digestive andnourishing processes and functionsintended for it.

In order to live, the human bodymust be nourished. The cells and tissuescomposing the anatomy are liveorganisms with an amazing degree ofresilience, elasticity and buoyancy. Tobe able to replenish and re-invigorate

these cells and tissues, their nourishmentmust necessarily be composed of liveelements, i.e., foods with life-givingproperties. There are also foods whoseultimate function is to cleanse andremove used-up cells and tissues andpilot this waste matter to the colon forevacuation.

The fiber which is so essential forthe proper and complete digestion of ourfood is needed in the colon just as muchas in the small intestine. Such fiber,however, must be composed ofroughage, that which is found in rawfoods. When these fibers pass throughthe intestines they become, figurativelyspeaking, highly magnetized, and in thiscondition are very helpful in the

functions involved in the various parts ofthe intestines. In addition to receivingthe residue of that part of our food whichis not digested, the colon alsoaccommodates itself to the fiber — theroughage — in the food upon which itdepends for its “intestinal broom.”

When the mineral elements whichcompose the foods we eat are saturatedwith oil or grease, the digestive organscannot process them efficiently and theyare passed out of the small intestine intothe colon as debris. In addition, the bodyhas a great deal of waste to dispose ofthrough the colon in the form of used-upcells and tissues. When “demagnetized”food passes through the body systemwith little or no benefit, eventually,

experience has proved, these foodsleave a coating on the inner walls of thecolon like plaster on a wall. In thecourse of time this coating may graduallyincrease its thickness until there is only asmall hole through the center, and thematter so evacuated may contain muchundigested food from which the bodyderives little or no benefit. Theconsequent result is a starvation ofwhich we are not conscious but whichcauses old age and senility to racetowards us with the throttle wide open.

Infirmity and sickness, at any age,is the direct result of loading up the bodywith food which contains no vitality, andat the same time allowing the intestinesto remain loaded with waste matter.

The Colon - your Body’sSewer

The colon is a natural breeding

ground for bacteria. The purpose andfunction of this bacteria is to neutralize,dissipate, avoid and prevent a toxiccondition from developing in the colon.However, there are two types ofbacteria: namely, the healthy, scavengingtype known as bacilli coli, and thepathogenic or disease-producing kind. Ina proper, clean, healthy environment thehealthy scavenging bacteria will controlthe pathogenic kind. When too muchfermentation and putrefaction isgenerated in the colon as a result of

neglecting to keep it as free from fecesand waste as possible, the pathogenicbacteria proliferate and ailments result.It is necessary that such waste beexpelled from the body, and for thispurpose your colon is equipped with avery efficient system of elimination. Thatis to say, “efficient” if it is in good andproper working order, functioning on theschedule suited to your physicalcondition.

The very best of diets can be nobetter than the very worst if the sewagesystem of the colon is clogged with acollection of waste and corruption. It isimpossible, when we eat two, three, ormore meals in a day, not to have residueaccumulating in the colon in the form of

undigested food particles, as well as theend product from food which hasundergone digestion. Furthermore, notonly does food waste accumulate in thecolon, but also the millions of cells andtissues which have served their purposeand have been replaced. These cells andtissues are dead proteins of a highlytoxic nature if allowed to ferment andputrefy. You no doubt have experiencedthe offensive aroma emanating from thebody of an animal which has died andwhose carcass has begun to decompose.The cells and tissues in the anatomyundergo the same decomposition whenthey are allowed to remain in the colonlonger than necessary.

In simple words, the colon is the

sewage system of the body. Nature’slaws of preservation and hygiene requireand insist that this sewage system becleansed regularly, under penalty of theinnumerable ailments, sicknesses anddiseases that follow, as the night followsthe day, if waste is allowed toaccumulate. Not to cleanse the colon islike having the entire garbage collectingstaff in your city go on strike for days onend! The accumulation of garbage in thestreets creates putrid, odoriferous,unhealthy gases which are dispersed intothe atmosphere.

*The appendix, its care andrelationship to the colon, will bediscussed in a later chapter.

Chapter 2.

Constipation —Your Body’s Greatest

Enemy

What Is Constipation?

The expression constipation is

derived from the Latin word“constipatus,” which translated means“to press or crowd together, to pack, tocram.” Consequently, to be constipatedmeans that the packed accumulation offeces in the bowel makes its evacuation

difficult. However, a state ofconstipation can also exist whenmovements of the bowel may seem tobe normal, in spite of an accumulationof feces somewhere along the line in thecolon!

The fact of the matter is thatconstipation is the number one afflictionunderlying nearly every ailment; it canbe imputed to be the initial, primarycause of nearly every disturbance of thehuman system. It is vital to stress thatconstipation affects the health of thecolon, upon which the health of the bodyin its entirety depends.

There are two crimes againstNature which civilization indulges indaily. Both beget the most common and

popular of our ailments, constipation.One is the consumption of devitalizedand refined foods which fail to nourishthe organs responsible for the evacuationof waste matter. The other, which is mostprevalent particularly among youngpeople, but not much less among theolder and more mature, is neglecting tostop everything we are doing when theurge to evacuate the bowels should driveus headlong into the bathroom. Nature isa strict taskmaster.

How Constipation Effectsthe Colon’s Function

If solving the problem ofconstipation were merely a case ofwashing out loose material lying freeinside any part of the colon, it would notbe too great a difficulty to clear thesituation. A colonic would most likelybe sufficient to take care of its removal.The problem, however, is not quite sosimple to dispose of. Constipationinvolves not only the unnecessaryretention of feces in the rectum, but alsothe retention present throughout the firsthalf of the colon, from the cecum to themiddle of the transverse colon. Thececum is found next to the ileo cecalvalve at the beginning of the colon.(Please refer to the Colon TherapyChart in this book.)

NORMAL COLON

The wall of this section of thecolon is equipped with sensitive nervesand muscles whose function it is tocreate wavelike motions, known asperistaltic waves, to propel the contentsof the colon from the cecum to therectum for eventual evacuation. This is adistance of approximately five feet. Ifyou will refer to the Colon TherapyChart you will see that the cecum is thatpart of the ascending colon at the exit ofthe small intestine, and the rectum is thelower part of the bowel.

Besides the formation of theseperistaltic waves, this first half of thecolon has two other very important

functions. First, it must extract from allthe residue coming from the smallintestine any available nutritionalmaterial which the small intestine wasunable to collect. For this purpose, itmulches the material which passes into itfrom the small intestine and absorbs theliquid and other elements through itswalls into the blood stream. Thenutrition which has thus been extractedfrom the colon is collected by the bloodvessels lining the walls of the colon andis carried to the liver for processing.

Obviously, if the feces in the colonhave putrefied and fermented, anynutritional elements present in it wouldpass into the blood stream as pollutedproducts. What would otherwise be

nutritional becomes, in fact, thegeneration of toxemia. Toxemia is acondition in which the blood containspoisonous products which are producedby the growth of pathogenic, or disease-producing, bacteria. Pimples, forexample, are usually the first indicationthat toxemia has found its way into thebody.

The other important function of thefirst half of the colon is to gather fromthe glands in its walls the intestinal floraneeded to lubricate the colon. Far toomany people, professional and laymen,think that enemas and colon irrigationswash out the intestinal flora and thusdeprive the colon of a valuable means oflubrication. This school of thought is

utterly false and totally devoid of truthand fact. Obviously, when the packedaccumulation of feces in the bowel leadsto fecal incrustation, it is not possiblefor the lining of the colon to functionnormally, and the glands in this liningcannot produce the necessary intestinalflora, or lubrication. Such lack oflubrication only serves to intensify astate of constipation and to generatetoxemia.

This fecal incrustation interfereswith, if it does not actually prevent, theinfusion of the necessary intestinal florafor colon lubrication, the formation ofperistaltic waves for evacuationpurposes, and the absorption and use ofthe additional nutritional elements

present in the waste residue coming intothe colon from the small intestine.

It does not require muchimagination to perceive that the adhesivequality of the feces in the colon isreadily susceptible to creating a coatingon the inside of the lining or wall of thecolon, resembling a layer of plaster inits consistency. It is equally obvious thatsuch a coating, in preventing the normalfunction of the colon, has the insidiouseffect of becoming a generator oftoxicity, to the detriment of health,happiness and longevity.

A HospitalStay . . . Canceled

Just a few years ago, a good friend

of ours telephoned me from Indiana totell me that he was scheduled to go intothe hospital the next day. “What for?” Iasked him. He told me he had a blockedcolon and could not defecate. Theprolonged retention of feces and stalewaste matter in the colon may, andfrequently does, result in the blocking ofthe passage within the colon, making itimpossible to have a bowel movement. Iasked my friend why, knowing ourprogram, he did not get some colonirrigations. “Oh,” he answered, “that’sout of the question. The nearest one is100 miles from here.” I told him I wouldtravel 1,000 miles for some colonics

before I would allow myself to be takento the hospital!

As it turned out, my friend took that100-mile trip and telephoned me a weekor so later to say it had saved his life.He was feeling better than he had felt inyears, and was going back for somemore colonics soon. This is by no meansan isolated case; I could fill a book withsimilar ones.

My study and intensive research onthis subject convinces me more than everthat no treatment or healing procedureshould ever be started without firstgiving the patient a series of colonirrigations in order to clean out the colonand remove the incipient source ofinfection. There is no ailment, sickness

or disease that will not respond totreatment quicker and more effectivelythan it will after the administration of aseries of colon irrigations.

Chapter 3.

Colon Therapy

Just Exactly What Is aColon Irrigation?

After the plaster-like coating has

definitely formed on the walls of thecolon, not any number of enemas willefficiently dissolve it. Furthermore, toremove it too rapidly would cause theinner lining of the colon to become“raw” and painful. Like the removal ofplaster, the fecal coating in the colon

must be thoroughly soaked and saturatedwith just plain water in order that itsremoval may take place gradually,comfortably, and effectively. This can beaccomplished by a series of colonirrigations.

A colon irrigation is administeredby an operator trained and accustomedto this work. You can look in the YellowPages of the telephone directory forlistings under Colonics or ColonIrrigations. Also consult Naturopaths,Chiropractors and Physiotherapistsand ask them if they have colonicequipment.

Colonics are, in effect, glorifiedenemas using many gallons of water -several ounces at a time and are given

by the colonic operator, usually aCertified Colon Therapist, with thewater flow and expulsion under thecontrol of the operator, while the patientlies relaxed on an appropriate tablewhich is connected with the colonicequipment. To be efficient, a colonirrigation requires a period of half anhour to one hour; during that period, 20or 30 gallons of water may have beeninserted into the colon through therectum, at the rate of several ounces at atime, then expelled each time. The firsttwo or three irrigations can prove howsensible and comfortable the procedureactually is.

However, the best colonicequipment available can yield very poor

and unsatisfactory results if the operatoris not sufficiently knowledgeable inhuman anatomy. Therefore, the mostimportant and vital adjunct to goodcolonic equipment is the employment ofa knowledgeable, trained operator.

It is not enough to know all aboutcolons and the principles of irrigation.The operator should also be familiarwith the art of foot relaxation. Just asevery part of the anatomy has nerveendings which are directly or indirectlyassociated with the colon, as I haveindicated on the Colon Therapy Chart,so are the soles of the feet related,directly or indirectly, to every part of theanatomy, as I have indicated in the FootRelaxation Chart. I strongly

recommend that every colonic equipmentinstallation should include these twocharts, framed and hung on the wallfacing the operator.

In examining this Foot RelaxationChart you will notice that the center ofthe sole of each foot corresponds to themidriff and especially to the colon.

For some years now there has beenquite a campaign to induce colonicestablishments to install equipment thatinjects oxygen and water simultaneouslyinto the colon. The immediate effect ofthis oxygen is invigorating, like ahypodermic needle shot in the armwould be. But I am more interested inthe long-range results and effects. OurCreator gave man an excellent set of

lungs by means of which the body couldobtain the natural fresh air, which iscomposed of about 20% oxygen andabout 80% nitrogen. It is a well-knownclinical fact that there are certain kindsof lung troubles whereby the injection ofoxygen into the lower part of the lungs isfatal. In a matter of 10 to 20 minutes thepatient turns blue. Unless such an oxygeninjection is immediately changed to theinjection of air, the patient couldpossibly die.

In my many score years of intimatestudy of the human anatomy I have neveryet found any gland, organ or gadgetwhich Nature has provided for oxygen toenter the colon, except what oxygen isalready present in the water entering the

body through the rectum, and the naturalmoisture in the colon.

As a matter of fact, I have seenherons and other similar birds in Floridastand by a river or pool of water, filltheir long beaks, and inject water intothe rectum in order to give themselves anenema or colon irrigation. I never askedthese birds what school, college oruniversity they attended or who taughtthem this principle of internal lavage.

Considering the long-range effect ofinjecting oxygen into the colon during anirrigation, I am not at all satisfied thatthere may not be some adverse effectseventually. A good sales talk is alwaysconvincing, particularly when one is notfamiliar with all the circumstances

involved. Personally, I would neverpermit anyone to inject oxygen into mybody, certainly not as a therapeuticanswer to sales talks. I have had many,perhaps hundreds, of colon irrigationswithout anything being added to thewater and I intend to continue to do so.

When all is said and done, ourCreator furnished air and water asnatural elements essential to humanexistence. For man’s protection, air iscomposed of 20% oxygen and no more.More would have been excessive for ourwell-being. Just think — only one partoxygen plus four parts nitrogen! Wateris composed of twice as much hydrogenas oxygen, also for man’s protection; toomuch oxygen can kill. Common sense, if

not clinical guess work, confirms theconclusion that unnecessary injections ofoxygen have potential dangers. Ofcourse there are conditions when, due tosome deficiency or disturbance, we mayneed more oxygen than the lungs cansupply, but in such a case oxygen isadministered into the lungs, not into therectum!

Of course, as you would expect,there are people who deplore the idea ofinternal cleansing. Some even havedeveloped the mistaken notion that colonirrigations are beneficial only whenaccompanied by a long fast. This, as amatter of fact, is a fairly speedy way toundermine and devitalize the body.When the body is left without

nourishment for more than six or sevendays, the hungry cells and tissuesbecome cannibalistic and feed on eachother.

It is not for me to tell you what youmust and what you must not do. Just useyour God-given intelligence, and keepyour internal organs clean and intact.After all, it’s your body.

It is very important that a trainedoperator be constantly present during theadministration of a colon irrigation. Thepatient should never be subjected todiscomfort.

Do not expect one or two colonirrigations to revitalize your system ifyou have neglected to take care of itsexcreta for 20, 30, or even 60 or 80

years, any more than you would expect apill to cause all your ailments andtroubles to vanish overnight.

Based on several score years ofexperience, research and observation, itis my considered opinion that everymature man and woman, irrespective oftheir degree of intelligence, should bequick to realize that if they have anydesire to live a long and healthy life —and to prevent the decadence anddegeneration of senility — they shouldseriously consider their condition andtake a series of colon irrigations (by thedozens if necessary) and get started onthis cleansing program. It took manyyears to accumulate whatever corruptionthat has adhered to the inside walls of

your colon; therefore, give theirrigations the chance to cleanse youthoroughly. Thereafter, I am convincedthat about twice a year, throughout life, aseries of six colon irrigations shouldhelp Nature keep the body healthy. Bearin mind that colon irrigations are lessexpensive than hospitalization andsurgeon’s fees, and more certain ofbeneficial results!

And What About Diarrhea?

Diarrhea is the antithesis, or

reverse, of constipation. It is a conditionof frequent and fluid evacuations of thebowel. There are several types of

diarrhea. Inflammatory diarrhea is themost common, and is caused by thecongestion of mucous in the colon. Theentire body experiences a rapid chillingwhich causes suppression ofperspiration and in the case of a female,slows menstruation as well. Anothertype of diarrhea is pancreatic, apersistent form, of a thin, ropy orglutenous consistency, due to adisturbance of the pancreas. There isalso parasitic diarrhea, which is incitedby the presence of intestinal parasites.

Every type of diarrhea I have hadoccasion to study has responded to colonirrigations when the patient submitted tothem. This sounds like a contradiction interms, but let me give you just one of

several instances which have comeunder my direct notice.

There was a case of a woman withvery severe diarrhea and for six orseven years she lived without any relief.She was also troubled with an inabilityto urinate. She submitted to drugs,medicines, and injections, but to noavail. She had been given enough shotsto kill a rhinoceros, and every one ofthem made her more sick than ever.

Eventually she consulted a doctorfriend of mine who; in turn, asked me togive him my opinion. As soon as I sawher I told my friend that if I were in hisplace, I would immediately start givingher colonic irrigations. Both he and hispatient laughed at the very thought of

such a procedure. However, we took anX-ray picture that confirmed mysuspicion, and he finally agreed to trysome colonics, although still declaringthat a colonic was intended for astoppage of the bowel and not for such acopious running-off. In less than 6colonics she expelled some 15 poundsof stale fecal matter. Her diarrhea thengradually ceased, and the removal of thefecal impactions, which were crowdingthe colon against the bladder, enabledthe passage of the urine to becomenormal.

If we are eating foods that arecooked or processed, several bowelmovements a day are not a sufficientindication that all is well.

The Dangerous Business ofLaxatives and Cathartics

Laxatives and cathartics are “big

business.” This is evident in theprevalence of constipation. Whathappens when one takes such laxativesand cathartics? The result is usually theejection of debris from the bowel. Butwhy did this take place? Simply becausethe colon became so irritated inexpelling the offending laxative thatanything else that was loose went outwith it. We have found that the use oflaxatives and cathartics are not onlyhabit forming but decidedly destructiveto the membrane of the intestines.

Laxatives and cathartics disturb thenormal rhythm of the excretory organs,which sooner or later rebel. That is whyso many people start with mild laxativesand soon graduate to cathartics beforethey reach the point of no return.

The most striking result of alaxative addiction came to me in theperson of a veteran. He was in his mid-thirties and came directly from theVeteran’s Hospital in San Francisco tosee me. Briefly, his history is this:

He had intended to make theArmy his career. Being afflictedwith constipation, his doctorprescribed laxatives. These becameprogressively less effective until hewas sick and down on his back.

Specialists made many tests, finallydeciding that by removing all histeeth it might cure him! It did not!Finally an exploratory operationbrought to light the almost completeblockage of his colon. A colostomyfollowed, and he was given apermanent discharge from theArmy. I gave him what advice Icould and he left.

Back in San Francisco heimproved somewhat, enough tolook for employment. He had anappointment with one of theexecutives of a large corporationand promptly presented himself inthe executive’s plush, carpetedoffice. At the conclusion of the

interview, as he was about to leave,the bottom of his colostomy bagopened, spilling its contents on thecarpet! The young man rushed hometo his sister, with whom he wasliving, and explained to her exactlywhat had happened. He then wentinto his room and put a bulletthrough his head. His sister gaveme these tragic details. Watch yourcolon!

Realize that a surgeon is trained tocut and amputate. It is not within hisfield to wash out the colon, or have itdone. It is not surprising that nearly all(probably without exception) who havebeen afflicted with a colostomy never

knew what was in store for them untilthey awakened from the operation. Then,to their chagrin, they knew the fullimplications of a colostomy.

Be prudent, be wise, and to quotean old familiar saying — an ounce ofprevention is indeed worth a pound ofcure. Don’t take my word for it. Prove ityourself by taking a number of colonics.My own life will not be affected in theleast by what you do or don’t do. But thelife it may save could be yours.

A Healthy Colon - ALifetime Procedure

In the preceding pages we havelearned how vitally important it is tokeep the colon clean and washed outperiodically. We will now study themysterious and miraculous manner bywhich certain areas of the colon are bothdirectly and indirectly related to thevarious organs and glands throughout theanatomy. What could a pimple have todo with the colon? What does eye, ear,or throat trouble have to do with thecolon? How can the colon possibly haveanything to do with the head, the feet, theheart or the glands? When there is adisturbance in any particular area of thecolon, we can tell in which part of theanatomy an affliction is present, or likelyto appear. The colon is intimately

related to every cell and tissue in thebody, as you will learn by the time youfinish studying this book.

On the face of it, this statementseems absurd. However, we mustconsider that our troubles started atbirth, soon after we inhaled our firstbreath. Did Mama watch how and whatthe baby’s bowel was evacuating?Regularity of the bowel should start atbirth and continue until the autopsyindicates to what extent we have caredfor or neglected the attention the colonmust have. Generally, progressivedegeneration of the colon begins shortlyafter birth; a normal baby’s colon isperfect, for a while. From childhoodthrough adolescence, discipline (or the

lack of it) is greatly responsible for itscondition. Thereafter, knowledge andfree-will determine the condition of thecolon and its effect on the individual’sphysical, mental and spiritual healththroughout the rest of his life.

I invite you to study every part ofthis book in the same state ofconsciousness that enables you to realizethe miracle of your radio or television.Just think what mere man hasaccomplished in this day and generation!He has been able to condense andharness cosmic energy from the vastexpanse of the universe into a tiny boxwe call our radio. With the radio we canchannel the cosmic energy vibrations, orwaves, by the mere turning of a little

knob. Wherever you are, in your home oroffice, you can hear symphony music orlisten to talks taking place 3,000, 6,000or 10,000 miles away. Marvelous? Ifman can invent and discover suchwonderful things, did not our Creator dosomething that is infinitely greater whenHe formed man with an electronicsystem that far surpasses anything mancan do?

Just think, right here on my desk Ihave a little box with numbers andfigures on “keys.” I press the keys withcertain numbers in rotation, then add,subtract, multiply, divide or do someother mathematical calculation, and thecorrect answer appears in a window inlighted figures. With this electronic

computer calculator I have been able tomake two to three hundred or morecalculations in one day, which years agowould have taken me many weeks. Thisis not nearly so miraculous as theresponse of my colon if there is anythingwithin me that needs attention!

As a matter of fact, that is exactlywhat the human organism is, amysterious, miraculous electroniccomputer administered by a tiny gland,the hypothalamus, located in the mid-brain. Nothing goes on in the humanorganism that is not watched over,controlled and administered by thehypothalamus.

Each chapter in this book indicatesthe relationship between the colon and a

corresponding part of the humananatomy. Actually, after you have studiedand absorbed the subject matter I havepresented, you will be better able tounderstand your own anatomy as well asthat of your child, and you may be muchbetter able to cope with your own achesand pains, as well as with those of yourchildren. This may even help you avoidthe pitiful state of premature senility soprevalent today. Why so prevalent?Because people fail to understand theneed to care for their miraculous organ,the colon. Each chapter in this bookindicates what the relationship isbetween the colon and that part of thebody indicated by the title. I haveproved the material described and

explained in the following pages to myown satisfaction — without any doubt orequivocation.

place without energy. This is truewithout any question or doubt when itconcerns the human body. From themoment of conception, activity is inprogress to enable the human fetus togrow. Upon birth and continuing onthroughout the life of the body, nothingcan take place without energy: the blood

cannot be reorganized; the millions uponmillions of red blood corpuscles — thehemoglobin — cannot be reproducedwithin the bones; the glands cannotcreate the hormones; the nerves andmuscles cannot operate.

The hypothalamus, located in themiddle of the brain, is in charge ofdistributing the proper amount of energyinto the body. Up to the present day,comparatively little has been discoveredof the vast scope of the administratingfunctions of the hypothalamus.

Looking at the accompanyingillustration, we can see that thehypothalamus is not a gland, but a merebundle of fibers, nerves, and bloodvessels emanating from the thalamus,

which is spread out on two sides of thespace-like area known as the thirdventricle. (The word ventricle means acavity or chamber within an organ). Twobranches of the thalamus are themetathalamus and the epithalamus, bothof which are attached to the pinealgland. The hypothalamus structure formsthe greater part of the floor of the thirdventricle. It is enclosed somewhat like acapsule within the nerve fibers and thenumerous nerve cells, the connectionsof which are as yet not fullydetermined.

Energy for the body’s use does notjust splash in haphazardly, withoutcontrol and direction. Where does theenergy for our body come from, and how

is it distributed? It is difficult for the laymind to grasp the fact that the primaryenergy which enables the glands tofunction and operate is that elusivecosmic force which is the basis of lifeand activity in everything in thisuniverse.

THE HYPOTHALAMUS

What Are Cosmic EnergyVibrations?

The entire universe is composed of

an infinite number of vibrations which,by their very condensed numbers, formmatter, substance, or intangible things,much like the thousands of individualthreads in a weaver’s loom form a pieceof cloth by the warp and woof — orcrossing and re-crossing — of thethreads. Cosmic energy vibrations arevibrations (or wave lengths) in theuniverse of inconceivably astronomical

numbers per millimeter in length or persecond in time.

Webster’s Dictionary definesvibrations as the periodic motion of theparticles of an elastic body or medium inalternately opposite directions from theposition of perfect equilibrium, whenthat equilibrium has been disturbed. Theword “cosmic” means “Pertaining to thecosmos,” a name which is synonymouswith universe.

Webster gives quite an extensivedefinition of energy which I will sum upas, that which is the real existence ofform, giving cause to life; powerefficiently and forcefully exerted; thecapacity for performing work.

By the above definitions, we are

thus able to conclude that vibrationscause or form energy, and energy is theresult of vibrations.

Man has been able to harnesscosmic energy vibrations in many ways.One method is by an electric currentgenerator which condenses the infinitenumber of vibrations into the almostinsignificant volume of 60 cycles orvibrations per minute in the electriccurrent in our homes, offices and shops.

Compare this 60 vibrations perminute in the electric wires of yourhome with the 49,390,000,000vibrations per second, which is thenumber of cosmic energy vibrations ofwhich a healthy male human body iscomposed! The healthy human female

body is composed of only 20 millionvibrations less than those of the male,namely 49,370,000,000 vibrations.

As the number of vibrations is soastronomical that it is apt to causeconfusion in the mind of the uninitiated,a unit of 10 million vibrations permillimeter was established as theAngstrom Unit by Jonas Angstrom,astronomer and physicist, just over 100years ago. This unit has greatlysimplified the calculations of cosmicenergy vibrations.

As a matter of fact, colors are awoven network of vibrations with aninfinite number of varieties of eachcolor, depending on the number ofvibrations existing above or below the

number of vibrations present in the purecolor.

On the basis of the Angstrom Unit,we find that the vibrations of thefollowing pure colors are:

Violet 4,500 A.U.Blue 4,750 A.U.Orange 6,500 A.U.Green 5,000 A.U.Yellow 6,000 A.U.Red 8,000 A.U.Each of the various parts and

glands of the human body has its ownindividual rate of cosmic energyvibrations, independent of the sum totalof the body’s composite vibrations. Forexample, the life of the individual is in

the blood, specifically in the red bloodcorpuscles, or hemoglobin. We find thatthe hemoglobin in its healthy condition iscomposed of approximately 82,500million vibrations per second.Correspondingly, the lung’s vibrationsare 67,250 million per second; thepituitary gland’s vibrations are 58,000million per second; the ear’s vibrationsare 47,750 million per second. Each partof the human anatomy has its owndistinctive individual vibrations.

As ailments and sicknesses afflictthe human body, its vibrations arecorrespondingly lowered or reduced,and when the ailing body has beenhealed of its afflictions, the vibrationsreturn to their normal count and the

individual feels strong and energetic.With these few examples and

explanations of cosmic energyvibrations, it should be easy tounderstand that a correct diagnosticsystem would be based on readings ofsuch vibrations. When the body is sick,the kind, quality, and degree of theaffliction could be determined correctly.By checking the vibrations of each of thevarious parts of the afflicted body, theorgan or gland actually involved couldbe readily pinpointed and corrected.

The Body’s ReceivingStation

for Cosmic Energy

Vibrations

The pineal gland and the

hypothalamus are in a direct relationshipwith each other by means of thethalamus. The pineal gland acts as anantenna or receiving station for the body,which is in direct contact in someimponderable manner with the cosmicenergy vibrations of the universe. If thefull force of cosmic energy vibrationswere received into the body, it would bemore devastating than millions ofelectrical volts. Therefore, the thalamusacts as a buffer between the pinealgland, which collects cosmic energy, andthe hypothalamus, which is the

transformer that reduces the cosmicenergy voltage down to what the bodyrequires. As the transformer, thehypothalamus administers, regulates andcontrols the flow of this energy to everygland, organ and part of the anatomy.

Your Hypothalamus Is Everon the Alert

Because of its administrative

function, the hypothalamus is naturallyvery sensitive to the condition of everypart of the anatomy. If fermentation andputrefaction starts in any part of thebody, it is the function of the

hypothalamus to alert whatever part ofthe system is likely to be affectedthereby. Subsequently, the lymphaticstream is ordered to get busy and try toprotect any part that may be affected.

THE HYPOTHALAMUS,THALAMUS AND PINEAL GLAND

To give an example, if a woman’scolon is badly impacted or is afflictedby excessive fermentation in the area ofthe colon marked mammary glands, it ismore than likely that the lymph glands inthe area of the breast may collect wastematter, probably from the colon, andstore it in the lymph glands of the breast,causing a lump to appear—as a warning.I have known such cases where theapplication of colon irrigations causedthe lumps to disappear within a matter ofdays. The most important warnings ofneglecting the colon are glandulardisturbances.

It is not by accident that the very

center of the transverse colon (see theColon Therapy Chart for location)should be associated with thehypothalamus. It is at this point in thecolon that the absorption of liquid andnutritious elements (which have alreadypassed into the cecum and beenpropelled through the ascending colon)ceases, and straight-forward propulsionof waste matter and feces continues intothe rectum. Impurities within the bodyhave a definite effect on the mind andcharacter; a putrid body reflects itscondition in the level upon which themind functions. Gross speech, behavior,and vulgarity are incompatible with abody that is clean within and without.

It is truly fantastic to attempt to

evaluate the ramifications of theadministrative functions of thehypothalamus. It may be a long timebefore science is able, even with themost sophisticated computer, to workthese imponderable problems intomathematical figures. Even our thoughtsare more or less subject to the functionsof the hypothalamus.

Considering the physical fact thatnerves spread out to every part of thebrain from the hypothalamus, and that thecleaner the body is, the higher thecosmic energy vibrations available tothe brain, it certainly pays to cleanse thebody and keep the colon in a constantlyclean and healthy condition.

Pituitary Gland -Neighbor to theHypothalamus

A glance at the illustration of the

normal colon (located in the front of thebook) will reveal to you the shape of ahealthy colon. Unfortunately, we are onlylikely to find this perfect outline in thecolon of a tiny infant before the wrongkind of food has had the opportunity todistort it. This is the shape originated byour Creator. Man, being a free moralagent, has consistently corrupted thefoods and beverages which he hasingested, resulting in fantastic distortions

of the colon as he grows older. Thecolon does not become afflictedovernight. Every time waste matteraccumulates in the colon, which resultsin fermentation and putrefaction, adisturbance takes place both in theafflicted area of the colon and in itscorresponding part of the anatomy. Theafflicted areas of the anatomy are shownin relationship to the varioussacculations of the colon on the ColonTherapy Chart.

THE PITUITARY GLAND

The colon begins on your right handside in or just above the groin, in thepelvis. The first pouch, which you willsee on the left side of the picture and atthe bottom of the ascending colon, iscalled the cecum. At the very center ofthe bottom of this pouch you will see theword pituitary. This means that thepituitary gland (located in the brain) andthis area of the colon have an electronic,vibratory relationship.

When an X ray of the colon showsthis pouch to be in the form of a “V,”illustrated in the sketch whichaccompanies this chapter, one can besure that a group of worms has colonized

in this particular location. I have usuallyfound that these turn out to be tapeworms. This affliction of the cecumpouch of the colon usually results in thedevelopment of a state of constantfatigue.

The pituitary gland, as you willnotice from the illustration, is composedof three general sections: the posteriorlobe, also known as the pars nervosa,indicating its particular association withthe nerve system of the body; the anteriorlobe, also referred to as the parsglandularis or glandular part; and themedial lobe, which consists of a stripbetween the other two lobes.

THE CECUM

The three lobes of the pituitarygland are directly affected by anyserious disturbance in this region of thececum. The posterior pituitary, havingdirect nerve connections with the brain,is involved in virtually every activity ofthe body, so that anything irregular inthis location in the cecum hasrepercussions in many unsuspectedways.

Consider the temperature of thebody, which the posterior pituitary inmany ways controls. When the weatheris hot, the pores of the skin open andallow perspiration to take place, whilein cold weather the pores are closed to

retain heat in the body and preventevaporation. The posterior pituitary alsoinvolves the regulation of water in thesystem. The body is composed ofbetween 75% and 80% distilled waterwhich is essential for the flow of thelymph stream. This stream of watercollects impurities throughout the bodywhich eventually are passed boththrough the kidneys and into the colon.One type of cecum disturbance maycause excessive liquids in the colon,resulting in diarrhea, another may inhibitwater from getting into the colon,causing constipation to be dry andpainful. Thus, we have a closerelationship between the posteriorpituitary and the cecum. The anterior

pituitary, on the other hand, is involvedin the functions of the glands, generatinghormones for the reproductive organs,the adrenal glands, the thyroid, the liverand for the pancreas. Each of these willbe discussed in their respective chaptersin due sequence. It is clearly evidenthow a disturbance of this area of thececum has a great many ramifications.

In my book Become Younger, Ihave given the case of a young man whowent through all the agonies of militaryinjections, and as a result wasdebilitated and weakened. Medicationsaggravated his condition and he wasreleased because of his disability,although upon induction he was found tobe in excellent condition. When he came

to us, he was directed to have an X rayof his colon which revealed the typicalworm-nest outline of the cecum. Hepassed stacks of worms and improved.One may read this account in BecomeYounger.

Very few people realize howdirectly the condition of the colon isrelated to weariness, and particularly tostress and nervousness. Before thedanger point is reached in theseinsidious disturbances, the colonfrequently tries to give warning signals,sometimes in the form of cramps, butusually in the form of more or lesssevere constipation discomforts. Theynever attack humans “out of the blue.”When the limit of tolerance is just about

reached, the trouble is triggered byevents such as the death of a loved one,family disruption, divorce, orseparation. Personal injury, loss ofwork, or financial troubles may becontributing factors, or perhaps any ofthree or four dozen other personalcalamities. It is almost impossible tomaintain a clear mind and proper mentaland spiritual equilibrium when we allowthe colon to go unattended for too long atime. The relationship of the pituitarygland to the cecum, as well as to thefunctions of the body as a whole, is toointimately involved to be overlooked.

We have found that colonirrigations can, and do, prevent far moredistress than people realize. It is not

enough to take just one or two colonics,then quit. One should take as many as arenecessary to leave the colon perfectlyclean. Once the colon has beenthoroughly washed, at least sixirrigations should be taken twice a year,throughout life—yes, as long as we live.Prevention is much better than cure,particularly to avoid premature senility!

Chapter 5.

Keeping A Clear Head

Your Eyes

Between the ileo-cecal valve in the

colon and the juncture of the nextsacculation above it, we have the areawhich reflects the relationship to theeyes. Here we have another verydelicate situation. The optic system isindeed a miracle to contemplate.

It is a sin and a crime the waypeople take their eyes and their vision

for granted—until their eyesightbecomes dim or they go blind. This area,perhaps more than any other, shouldhave first consideration.

Actually our optic system is far toocomplicated to be described intelligentlyin such a brief dissertation. In the firstplace, the eyes are merely contributingfactors in our visual perception of thingsseen. Somewhat like our ears, cosmicenergy vibrations are the means bywhich forms and color are transmitted tothe brain for the interpretation that wespell out in the words, “I see.”

The first step in our vision involvesthe retina, which is the delicatemembrane of the eye representing theend, or terminal expansion, of the optic

nerve. As thin as the retina is, it iscomposed of several layers, amongwhich are the pigment layers that firstregister color, then the nerve layer,followed by about seven other layerswhich all comprise the retina. The stateand condition of each one of these layersreflects on the kind, quality and degreeof vision. It is just like the setting on thelens of a complicated camera.

In the first layer of the retina thereare rods and cones which transmit thevibrations of the object in the form ofmessages to the nerve cells, to thechiasm or x-crossing, and then end at thethalamus and the third ventricle. Thethird ventricle is a very important openspace inside the temple, extending

between the optic thalamus and thebrain. (See accompanying illustration ofthe hypothalamus.)

To clarify the presence of the rodsand cones in the retina, you should knowthat there are altogether only about125,000,000 (that’s right, 125 million)rods and cones, besides about 1,250,000fibers in the optic nerve. One wouldalmost be justified in considering thatwith these figures we would have awide margin of safety with our retina inparticular, and in our vision generally;but remember that these infinitesimal,microscopic, wee objects require twovery essential things in order to serveyou with vision: they need nutrition andcleanliness. They need ample, natural,

nutritional food and clean excretorychannels for the removal of toxic wastefrom the body. With the brief time andspace at our disposal here, it would betoo great a task to describe the paths thatthe object you are looking at must take tobe transmitted accurately to the brain, soyou may correctly understand andinterpret what you see. In other words,the shapes, forms, colors andperspective quality of objects within therange of your vision are carried byvibratory impulses through therespective maze of nerves whichcorrespond to each item, all of theseimpulses coordinate in the brain so thatthe brain will spell out for you in detailthe object you are seeing.

THE EYE

An eye specialist has spent manyyears and much money to be able tounderstand, diagnose, and correct themechanics of your vision. I have knownonly one such specialist who, knowingmy line of research, once said to me,“Go and get a series of colon irrigations,drink lots of juices, come back to me intwo or three months and I will see what Ican do for you”

This advice was given to me on anoccasion when I had returned home toAnaheim, California, after having beenaway on a three months’ lecture tour inthe East and South of the U.S.A. I wasdriving in an open coupe, with a house

trailer in tow, through a blazing 118°Arizona desert. The windshield on mycar was old-fashioned, it was straightacross and opened top to bottom. I drovehome with top of the car down andarrived with my face looking like aboiled lobster. The next morning I droveinto Los Angeles and went into a drugstore to telephone. Looking at thetelephone book I saw nothing but blacklines—I could not see one letter!Amazed, I was pondering over mydilemma when a lady, a stranger to me,tapped my elbow and asked me, “Whatkind of make-up do you use? It looks sonatural.”

I answered, “It is Desert Sun”“Where can I get it?” she asked me.

I said, “Drive through the Arizonadesert in 118° temperature, in an opencar!”

I promptly contacted my friend, theeye specialist and subsequentlyfollowed his advice. For three weeks Ihad three colon irrigations a week anddrank, besides my other juices andsalads, two pints daily of thecombination of carrot-celery-parsleyand-endive juice. I went to him againbefore the month was over, and hethought it was a miracle! He fitted mewith glasses which I used for about fouror five weeks for reading only. One dayin the car I accidentally sat on them andnever had them replaced.

Neither the juices nor the colon

irrigations alone, one without the other,could have been as effective ascombining the two.

I should mention here the damagewhich could be done to the optic systemby the inorganic mineral elements inwater. These elements cannot beassimilated constructively by the humanbody. The body does need mineralelements, but these must be obtainedfrom vegetation in which the inorganicelements of the soil are converted intolife-containing, nourishing food. Aperson drinking one or two pints ofregular well, spring or faucet waterdaily would, in about 40 years time,have between 200 and 300 pounds oflime pass through his body. Fortunately,

most of this is eliminated, but some isbound to remain. Depending on whatpart of the body this remnant settles in,sooner or later trouble will develop inthat part. Far too many heart attackscould be blamed on such inorganicelements clogging up the blood vessels.Many varicose veins could be found toblame their condition on these inorganicmineral elements as the contributingfactor. The optic system is not less liableto be so afflicted. The answer is simplyto use only water which has been steam-distilled. My book, Water CanUndermine Your Health, will give youthe information you need to besafeguarded from this danger. Of coursefresh, raw vegetable and fruit juices are

composed of pure, naturally distilledwater. In fact, bear in mind that thehuman body is composed of between75% and 80% distilled water.

Nearly everyone with good visiontakes their eyes for granted. That is agreat mistake. When we neglect to carefor our eyes, we lay ourselves wideopen to future trouble. The problem is,people cannot imagine themselves asbeing unable to see! Nearly everyelderly person whose vision is dimcould tell you a tale of woe because theydid not give their eyes the attention theyrequired. At the same time, never for onemoment lose sight of the fact that thecolon, all too often, is a contributingfactor in eye trouble.

Years ago, I had a friend in NewYork. He was in his fifties and a retiredCaptain in the Scottish Highlanders.When he lived in Britain, he alwaysexperienced perfect vision, but since hehad been in the States, without realizingthe harm, he had learned to indulge inAmerica’s processed and fried foods.He became badly constipated, acondition which never afflicted him athome in Scotland. One day hecomplained to me that he was havingtrouble with his eyes, and he said to me,“I wonder if having to strain as I do, atstool, because of this confoundedconstipation, could have effected myeyes?” I told him that this couldundoubtedly be a contributing factor to

the trouble he was experiencing with hisretina. When he consulted a good eyespecialist this was confirmed.

Never underestimate the value of aclean colon. Think ahead. Do all youpossibly can to avoid dimness of youreyes and premature senility.

Ears and Ear Trouble

Proceeding upward on the diagram

of the colon, past the ileocecal valve,we come to a particularly, sensitive areawhich is electronically related to thearea of the brain which controls the ears—the auditory or acoustic system.

It should be understood that the

relationship between the sacculations ofthe colon and the various organs andglands (or parts of the body remotelylocated from the colon) does notnecessarily involve a drastic affliction,although such a situation does occuroccasionally. Such a relationship, whichmay manifest itself at the time ofmaximum fermentation or putrefaction inthe colon, may simply develop into awarning signal.

For example, an ulcer may developin this particular sacculation of thecolon, and this irritation may disturb thesensitive auditory system. The commonpractice, when the irritation issufficiently annoying, is to consult an“ear specialist.” If he does not correct

the trouble, it worsens. On the otherhand, being familiar with colon therapy,we would first take a series of colonirrigations. We have found that theoutcome of this method is often acomplete disappearance of the eartrouble, sometimes within a matter ofhours. This would prove to us that theear irritation was a signal to clean housewithin. It has been these cumulative andsatisfactory results that has continued tourge us on to deeper and deeperresearch.

Of course we must always beconscious of the relationships existingbetween the scattered glands in oursystem. The function of the auditorysystem is under the administration of the

hypothalamus in the mid-brain which, inturn, functions through the pituitarygland. Obviously, it requires a vastknowledge of the entire human anatomyand the entire system of related andinterrelated functions and activities ofthe many parts of the body to make asatisfactory diagnosis.

We can be sure that we can nevergo wrong when we start from the verybeginning with colon irrigations. If thebody from infancy has been brought upand nourished as was originallyintended, and meticulous attention paidto the elimination of waste matter, thereshould be no ailments or bodilydiscomforts. Our trouble is civilizationwhich has become addicted to

indoctrination, salesmanship, and wrongthinking. We cannot see inside the body,which is why there are times when an x-ray is an incomparable aid. Not only canit determine the condition of the colonand what needs correction, but in whatorder of importance it’s needed.

THE EAR

I use the word “electronic” in adescriptive sense to refer to the relationand inter-relation of the colon with otherparts of the body. Electronics is thatbranch of physics which treats with theemission, behavior and effects ofelectrons. Electrons are components ofatoms. As we have learned on radio andtelevision, these electrons emit cosmicenergy vibrations that stagger theimagination. It is just by means of thesecosmic energy vibrations that thehypothalamus is able to administer,control, and otherwise influencevirtually every function and activity ofthe infinite number of areas, spots and

points throughout the body and, in turn,everything connected with them. Tenuousas these vibrations are, they neverthelessare there for our use and understanding.

Our hearing apparatus is far morewonderful than any contraption man hasever devised. The organ of hearing iscomposed of the external ear, which isvisible, the middle ear known as thetympanum, and the internal ear called thelabyrinth. The outer ear is composed ofan expansion of the skin structure and theexternal auditory canal through whichsound wave vibrations enter. The middleear is composed of the tympanum, whichis the Latin word meaning “drum”commonly called the eardrum. Here arealso “ear bones” which are far more

sensitive than a tuning fork.

We also have the Eustachian tube

connecting with the pharynx, which is asensitive membrane situated back of thenose, mouth and larynx, and extends tothe base of the skull opposite the sixthcervical vertebra of the spine.

By means of the tympanicmembrane, sound vibrations aretransmitted to the cochlea of the internalear. Cochlea is derived from the Greekword “kochlos” which means “conchshell.” The cochlea resembles a snailshell; the tube in the cochlea makes 2½turns forming a spiral canal, 1½ incheslong from end to end. The central, closedend of the canal registers low tones orvibrations expressed by the base cleff

sign in music, while the outerextension registers the high tones orvibrations, expressed by the treble cleff

sign in music.You can certainly understand my

brief dissertation on the hearingproblem, how delicate and far reachingit is. We do not hear with our ears; theymerely transmit sounds to the brain, andthe brain translates them for ourunderstanding. Any interference alongthe line affects the quality of our abilityto hear. The Colon is intimatelyinvolved. For example: putrefication andfermentation may cause pressure in oursystem, and that pressure can be felt inthe inner ear, as if when you are

swimming and water gets into the earcanal causing a hearing change. Yourhearing goes dim temporarily.

I hope this little synopsis I havetried to give you will suffice to makeyou conscious of the intricacy of yourhearing apparatus. I can only leave it foryour intelligence to perceive the need tokeep the inside of your body as clean asyou possibly can, so that it may serveyou well and efficiently for the rest ofyour life.

Nasal Catarrh and Asthma

Moving farther along on our trip up

the right side of the ascending colon, we

come to two related afflictions, namelynasal catarrh and asthma. These can bediscussed together because they are bothderivatives of the same cause. Whatevercauses excess mucus to form in the upperregions of the system can be countedupon to start a mucous chain-reaction.

Frequently, the first symptoms toappear when mucus begins toaccumulate is the feeling of a draftwhich may cause one to sneeze. Theusual response to this is, “I’m catching acold!” Let me set your mind at ease. Weare not able to “catch a cold.” It is thecold that catches us! The unhealthymucus that we have generated has amagnetic attraction for a coolertemperature, causing the organs involved

with the mucus to afflict the victim. Thisaffliction may strike at the nose or at thethroat and frequently the lungs.

I could fill volumes with instanceswhere human beings, from babies totottering seniles, changed their eatingand drinking habits and saw their colds,hay fever, asthma and other mucusafflictions completely disappear afterhaving colon irrigations.

For example, in my book BecomeYounger, read about the precious oldlady who banished her own mucusafflictions, then years later sent herdaughter, who was strictly medical-minded, off for a three weeks’ vacationso that Grandma could take care of thelittle two-year-old boy. The poor little

fellow had not been able to get a goodnight’s sleep since shortly after he wasborn, when he was put on cow’s milkand the “scientific” formulas for babies.Just as soon as the daughter was out ofthe way, Grandma gave the baby anenema and fed him orange juice. Thefirst night on this program the littlefellow slept soundly from 8 p.m. to 6a.m. But you may read the account foryourself.

For many years scientists andresearchers have been climbing up oneside of the rainbow and down the otherin their well-financed search for theelusive germ, bug, virus or what haveyou, that could be blamed for causingcolds and analogous mucous ailments.

To this day, they are still pursuing thatfading, useless chase. The cause of theseannoying disturbances is of coursemucus. Eliminate whatever causesmucus to form, as in colds, asthma,bronchitis, and the like, and no colds canbe experienced.

I was greatly amused when,sometime in the 1920’s, certainscientists caused their hobby to make theheadlines by declaring that they haddiscovered a “germ” which wasdefinitely responsible for the commoncold, but that it was too small andelusive to be caught and (note this) toosmall to be seen by their most powerfulmicroscopes. Nevertheless, they“discovered” such a germ.

During the past four-score years wehave seen far too many colds andanalogous ailments disappear byremoving cow’s milk and other mucous-forming food’s from the diet andcleansing the body with enemas andcolon irrigations.

Bear in mind, please, that it wouldtake some 12, 15, or more enemas to getthe results which can be obtained byeach properly administered colonirrigation. The pathway of the scientists,in my experience, leads to by-passing acolon irrigation. This is not good, ascolon irrigations are invariablyeffective.

I would like to quote from my bookFresh Vegetable & Fruit Juices, in

which you will read, “. . . since 1946,according to word I have from England,some scientists under the $150,000 ayear patronage of the BritishGovernment’s “Medical ResearchCouncil” have been hunting - and, youknow, the British are notorious for theirhunting - for a cold bug, germ, or virusas the culprit which could be accused ofbeing responsible for the generation ofthe common cold.” I am sure that youwill thoroughly enjoy reading this wholeaccount. It is too ludicrous for comment.

I am utterly amazed that anorthodox practitioner rarely considers itworthwhile to look to the colon for thebanishment of the affliction. If they onlywill do so, they will understand the

carpenter who sent a post card to SearsRoebuck asking, “Where is that saw Iordered and paid for a month ago?”Then he added a postscript: “Excuse me.I just found the saw under my bench.”Colds and their analogous ailments areNature’s very effective way to warn usto get busy and do some housecleaninginside our body.

I have referred to milk as being themost mucous forming food we can use.Raw milk would be bad enough, but topasteurize or homogenize it is worse.Besides milk, processed cheeses are thefrequent cause of excessive mucus.Devitalized starches and sugar are bothmucus culprits and when removed fromthe diet the beneficial results are

perceptive. Above all, invariably startwith cleansing the colon.

Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) isdepleted in the body when it is calledupon to fight colds for you; replenish thebody with this valuable element and seehow your cold will completelydisappear. Read and study the chapterentitled Connective Tissue and VitaminC in this book. This is important. Thecold it may banish may be yours!

Hay Fever

We will now move over to the

other side of the cecum to the spotdirectly opposite the ileo-cecal valve.

This spot, you will notice, is markedhay fever. It is quite significant that thespot should occur facing the flow ofresidue from the small intestine into thecolon. This residue is composed of theundigested food which bypassed theabsorption of nutrients from the digestedfood through the walls of the smallintestine. Normally, most of the contentsof this residue is converted into fecesand, in due course, is propelled throughthe five feet of large intestine (the colon)for evacuation.

Few people, however, have such a“normal” residue, which can only be theresult of proper and correct nutrition.Rarely do people eat the right kinds offood for the attainment of health. This is

consequently the starting point for themanufacture of hay fever. I suppose itseems strange to ascribe the runningnose, the throat trouble and all theconcomitant hay fever symptoms to thecontents and the condition of the colon,but this is only strange to those who havenot seen hay fever disappear after aseries of colon irrigations. We have seenscores of them! If this procedure ofcleansing the colon was to be successfulin one or two instances and no more,then there would be justifiable doubts,but seeing this happen consistently overand over again well—what would youranswer be?

What triggers the building-up of themucous condition which manifests itself

in what people call hay fever? It canonly be the result of what has been takeninto the system. Pollen does not causehay fever; if it did, then everybodysniffing pollen would have hay fever andthat is not the case. I have sniffed everykind of pollen and I do not yet knowwhat hay fever feels like.

The troublesome element in hayfever is the abundant amount of mucuswhich accompanies it. There are twokinds of mucus. There is the lubricatingmucus in the mucosa, or lubricatingsystem, which is natural and necessaryin every human body. Then, there is thepathogenic mucus that is the result ofeating and drinking certain foods. Thispathogenic mucus is the ideal media for

propagating germs, microbes, andbacteria. Cow’s milk is the most prolificsource of this type of mucus. That is whya baby raised mostly on cow’s milk hasa constantly running nose. That is why somany young people drinking cow’s milkare afflicted with colds and infectedtonsils, not to mention pimples, whichare mucus turned into pus that the bodytries to excrete through the skin. I wouldconsider it very strange if these troublesand discomforts were to persist after theafflicted person has avoided cow’s milkand taken a series of colon irrigations.To date, after scores of years of researchand observation, I have yet to find asingle instance in which an irrigation hasfailed to be effective when cow’s milk

has been discarded. Naturally, if such avictim gets rid of these afflictions by thisnatural means, but continues to eat anddrink what initially caused the trouble inthe first place, he can most assuredlymust expect a recurrence. Hay feverflair-ups can come from impurities in theblood stream caused by constipation.

Admittedly, it is not an easy matterto change one’s diet, particularly whenthe taste buds have been perverted for alifetime. Therefore, one must begin totrain the willpower and administer tooneself drastic discipline. Unfortunately,few people are willing or mentallyequipped to do this. Still in the finalanalysis is it not much better to undergohard, nutritional training in the present,

than have to look forward to a prematuresenility with all its accompanieddiscomforts to self and others in thefuture?

This is not the time or place for meto give a program of diet which couldbuild up the system and give theindividual the opportunity to live longer,more abundantly, and with a betterdegree of health than he previouslyexperienced when he ate all kinds ofprocessed, fried, and over-cookedfoods. I recommend that you obtain mybook A Guide to Diet & Salads, whichis used by people the world over as aguide to better nutrition.

Every X-ray of hay fever victimsthat I have seen has invariably shown

trouble in this particular spot which youwill see marked on the left hand side ofmy Colon Therapy Chart. This 17″×22″wall chart has been reduced andreproduced in this book for your easyreference.

If you have never had a colonirrigation you have missed the mostpleasant and comfortable means bywhich the colon can be washed out. Youare able to lie restfully on the colonictable for a half, to one hour, dependingon the condition of your colon. Look inthe classified telephone directory forChiropractors, Naturopaths,Physiotherapists and ask if they havecolonic equipment, or look underColonies or Colon Irrigations.

Colon irrigations are of suchimmeasurable value in our domesticeconomy that everybody should make ita practice to have them six times a yearas long as they live. I am convinced thatby this means the life expectancy can belengthened considerably.

Tonsils: Should We KeepThem?

Next, further up on this side of the

cecum, we find that the middle of thepouch or sacculation is labeled tonsils.This is to indicate that this area hassome relationship with the glands in thethroat known as tonsils.

Did anyone ever tell you thattonsils have no useful purpose, and thatthey should be removed duringchildhood in order to prevent theirhaving to be taken out later in life?Those who ascribe this theory do notknow what they are talking about.

My medical dictionary brushes offthe subject by merely stating that, “Thetonsil is a small almond shaped bodysituated on each side, between the frontand the rear pillars, of the soft palate. Itconsists of an aggregation of from 10 to

18 small follicles (bags or crypts)covered by a mucous membrane.” Theentire healing profession has greatlyminimized the vital importance of thesetwo indispensable glands, the tonsils.

Man was not created with anythingthat was not useful and necessary. So,like every other gland in the body, thetonsils have their part in the economy ofthe human anatomy, its functions andactivities.

I have studied very carefully manyof the books published by the brothers I.and G. Calderoli of Bergamo, Italy,recounting in detail the results of their30 years of intensive research on tonsils,in the Universities of Vienna and Berlin.I have many of their books, written in

Italian, and refer to them often. When Imet Dr. Guido Calderoli in Bergamo,Italy some years ago, we discussed thissubject very thoroughly. I asked him ifany of the patients suffering with tonsilshappened to be bothered with aches orpains in the right side, under the ribs. Henever paid much attention to this, but ashe thought back, he remembered it was afrequent complaint which was oftenattributed to some disturbance in theappendix. I asked if any of his patientshad an appendectomy after the tonsilshad been “taken care of.” He did notremember any instance where this tookplace, and he agreed that undoubtedlythe clearing up of the tonsil ailment mayhave indirectly had something to do with

the colon.

THE TONSILS

Some people assume the most

important function of the tonsils is tocollect germs, microbes and bacteria,preventing their entrance into the system.Such statements come from those whoeither are not aware that the body isliterally filled with conflicting germs ordo not know the deeper activities of theglands in the body. Swollen tonsils areamong the most notorious afflictions ofchildren and young people, purely andsimply because they neglect to respondto the call of their bowels and fail tounderstand the importance of propernutrition. Adults are just as prone toneglect these two basic principles in theattainment and the maintenance of health.

Without having studied the reason whyour Creator placed the tonsils wherethey are, nor investigated the aftereffectsof removing afflicted tonsils, the generalcustom for generations has been to cutthem out.

Unquestionably, there is anendocrine gland correlation betweentonsils, reproductive organs, and thececum pouch of the colon. Man cannotinterfere with this intimate relationshipwithout grave danger.

Let me give you a vivid examplewhich definitely related the cecum to atonsil affliction. I had a friend in NewYork who had a beautiful little home outon the Island. She kept her homemeticulously clean and in order, and she

spent much of her spare time in themaintenance of her garden, which hadbeautiful roses and other flowers.

I met her one day on 42nd Street inNew York as I was on my way to GrandCentral Station. I naturally asked howshe was. She told me that for nearly twoweeks she had suffered with a persistentsore throat. Catherine, a nurse and co-worker in her office, had urged her to goto the hospital without delay and haveher tonsils removed. I strongly protestedand recommended that she have a seriesof colon irrigations. She objected to this,saying that after her recovery from thetonsillectomy she was planning on takingCatherine’s advice to have anappendectomy, as she had a pain on her

right side below her ribs. Again Iprotested, to which she replied, “Iwould have you know that Catherinewas head of one of the largest hospital’snursing divisions for 20 years. Who areyou to know more than she?”

My final words to her were, “Mydear lady, I have given you my advice. Ifyou go through with your tonsillectomyyou will regret it for the rest of yourlife.” I did not see this lady again untilnearly one year later when we happenedto meet almost at the same spot on 42ndStreet. She was the one who stopped me.I did not recognize her. I asked how herhouse on the Island with all her beautifulflowers was coming along. “Oh,” shesaid, “I had to sell that six months ago. It

was too much for me to keep up. I nowhave a small apartment where I can gohome at lunch time and relax, and when Iget through at the office I go home andrest for the remainder of the day.” Iasked if she had gone through with theappendectomy, and she said herappendix trouble did not develop afterher tonsillectomy, so she did nothingabout it.

A young doctor, only 38 years ofage, whose tonsils were removeddeclared, “I myself feel a progressiveweariness. I am always tired, even afterresting.”

A 25-year-old young woman hadonly one tonsil removed when she was21 years old; nevertheless, after her

tonsillectomy she began to take notice ofdisturbances which had never afflictedher before. She had pains in her back;she frequently perspired, her hands werealways moist; she had frequent attacks ofdizziness, and if meals were late she feltfaint. She also experienced restlessnessin sleep with morning fatigue, andgeneral physical weakness. She foundshe had become untidy and careless inher housekeeping. No longer did sheeven feel like singing.

A 28-year-old electrical technician,ten years after tonsil removal, declared,“I must have been born tired. My familyand friends ridicule me.”

An examination of thousands ofworkmen whose tonsils were removed

in their youth clearly demonstrated theafflictions following a tonsillectomy —loss of physical, sexual and mentaldynamism.

In the year 1952, England importedfrom Italy many hundreds of mineworkers. Why? Because some 60% ofthe British youth were without tonsilsand consequently constantly too tired forthis kind of work. Italy, having thelowest percentage in Europe oftonsillectomies, had men who werevirile and vigorous. Thirty years of studyin Italy proved that, sooner or later,tonsillectomies reduced vigor andvitality in its victims.

The two Calderoli brothers spent30 years in deep research on the subject,

and this is a long enough time to arriveat many undeniable conclusions. Theirconclusions resulted from innumerablestudies of victims of tonsillectomies.These studies revealed that youngwomen who were formerly normal intheir affection and attraction for youngmen gradually had their feelingsreversed, no longer wanting to haveanything to do with them. Wives, who atone time were a closely knit, loving, andattentive member of their family,carefully solicitous of their children,husband and other family members foundthemselves easily annoyed and payinglittle or no attention to their needs andhabits. Household duties wereneglected. What remained was far less

priority for these duties andorganizational concerns of the home.

Businessmen whose tonsils wereafflicted and removed in their adulthoodbecame lax in business, lost interest intheir social contacts and experiencedunbearable fatigue. With thirty years ofconsistent proof of this state of affairs, itis evident to me that my ownexperiences with people simplyfollowed this natural pattern.

Tonsils have a definite relation tothe sex or reproductive organs, calledthe gonads (the testicles and theovaries). The Calderolis proved thatmen and women who are 28 years oldand less and without tonsils are lessmasculine and less feminine,

respectively.Extended physiological and clinical

research has revealed that there is anintimate relationship between tonsils andovaries. The removal of tonsils canreadily affect the frequency and volumeof menstruation, a fact which shouldalert women to alarm. In such casesmany a mother has panicked not only atthe excessive loss of blood during herdaughter’s menstruation but also at amorbid white discharge that often occursbetween cycles as a result of vaginal oruterine infection.

As I have already tried toemphasize, the loss of sex sensitivity inyoung women frequently follows theremoval of tonsils. They become frigid.

Many were asked: “Why then did youget married?” They answered, “Becauseeverybody does. Besides, it establishesme.” The ultimate end of such marriagesis divorce or even worse calamities.Such women lose their ability to enjoylife and to sustain the interest and thespirit of the man and of the family.

At the time Dr. Calderoli wrote hisbook, Popoli Senza Tonsille (PeopleWithout Tonsils), there were three largeinstitutions in Italy for young women.They all refused admission to womenwhose tonsils had been removed. Thedeans of these institutions gave as theirreason: “Generally, with their tonsilsremoved they are lazy, their characterhas changed as a result of the

tonsillectomy, and their outlook on lifehas degenerated.”

The eventual result of tonsilremoval has been reduced activity andcheerfulness in children, less buoyancyin young people, and general lassitude inadults. Weariness is noticeable instudents, in married life, in the familyand in social activities. Young womendeprived of their tonsils are likely tolose their inclination towards normal sexconduct and develop an aversion tomaternity. The famous Calderoli Doctorshave proved beyond a doubt that tonsilsare so essential in the life of theindividual that their removal can havefrustrating, devastating effects andrepercussions for the rest of the

individual’s life.In past generations, and to this very

day, tonsils were considered organs ofdefense and of protection. Their functionwas considered limited to, andcircumscribed by, the trapping andcatching of germs and microbes passingthrough the nose and mouth. If that werean infallible fact, then everybody—everybody—would be afflicted withwhatever happens to be the prevailingailment. But that is not the case. It is thecondition of the system, as exemplifiedby what is taking place in the colon, thatcan make the tonsils give their warnings.

The tonsils and the condition of thecolon must always be considered andlinked as warning factors.

Apart from the importance of thetonsils themselves, there are clear,distinct, explicit reasons for givingmeticulous attention to the colon. No oneelse can be responsible for your colon; itis your responsibility. I consider colonirrigations to be the most vital phase ofthe care of the body. The removal ofoffending waste matter from the colonautomatically removes or reduces theobstruction from the throat, the nasalcavities and wherever the trouble withthe tonsils has its inception.

Research has proved that tonsilremoval is having serious consequencesand great repercussions in the civil lifeof nations. Considering nationalstatistics, it is not surprising to learn that

about one third of the married people inthe United States of America, in Europeand in the Scandinavian countries haveno children, one third with only one.This, in fact, could be due to theaftermath of wholesale tonsillectomies.

I personally, in my own directcontact with people, have never knownit to fail that when the tonsils areafflicted, enemas and colon irrigationscleared them up.

What About a Sore Throat?

A sore throat can be caused by any

one or more of many reasons, causes andcircumstances. In the first place, the

mouth is the principal organ throughwhich anything can enter the humansystem. The one thing we do regularly,every minute of the day and night, is tobreathe. What do we breathe? Wenaturally breathe the air which happensto be in the atmosphere in which we findourselves. While air is composed ofnitrogen and oxygen, in this day andgeneration we are virtually encased inan aura of pollution, not the least ofwhich are the myriads and myriads ofgerms, viruses and bacteria which wecannot see. The throat is equipped withprotective devices which prevent suchparasites from entering the body — to acertain extent. If the body is pure andthoroughly clean, germs, virus and

bacteria cannot exist in it, because theseparasites are scavengers created for thespecific purpose of destroyingputrefactive waste matter, wherever itmay happen to be. If the body is free ofsuch waste matter there is nothing forthese scavengers to feed on, and wherethere is no life-sustaining material, lifeperishes. Consequently, if a sore throatdevelops, where can the soreness comefrom? It is the natural result of theirritation of parasites rummaging in theregion of the throat, and a warning toproceed with a body-cleansing asquickly as possible. When the throat isirritated, we look for the source ofirritation in the condition of the sewagesystem of the body, which is the colon.

I have observed again and againwhen people have noticed the firstindication of a sore throat, the sorenesshas disappeared almost immediatelyupon promptly taking a series of colonirrigations.

I had occasion, many years ago, totake a trip into Mexico which wouldkeep me there for at least two or threeweeks. Another doctor accompanied me.The night before leaving, although I didnot feel I needed one, I took a colonic. Ialso took my enema bag and lubricatingtube with me in my suitcase. I returnedfrom my trip in perfect health, whereasmy doctor friend, who was not as colon-conscious as I was, returned with a doseof amoebic diarrhea.

I am absolutely sure that if mydoctor friend had taken some colonirrigations before we went to Mexico, hetoo would have returned in perfecthealth. We stayed in the same hotel andwe ate all our meals together. Our firstluncheon was at the Focolare Restaurant.The head waiter was an Italian whosename was Mr. Sabato. He and I“clicked” instantly when I was able totalk with him in Italian. My friendordered some meat for his lunch, whilemy order was for an all-raw vegetablesalad served with a dressing which Isuggested. When our respective dishesarrived, my friend said my meal lookedso good that the next time he wouldorder the same! Now if the cause of his

ailment were to afflict every Americanwho visited Mexico, by all such rules Ishould have been afflicted in the sameway he was. But it did not work thatway. He developed throat trouble whichpersisted for three or four weeks.

A number of times I have hadstudents and friends call on me beforethey were leaving for destinationsabroad and, as far as I was able tocheck, all those who took the necessarycolon-cleansing precautions returnedafter a healthy trip with no ill effects.However, two or three who contactedme on their return told me they were notmeticulous in the matter of their colons,and they did have some health problems,principally bowel and throat trouble.

So, even if the colon happens to belocated two or three feet away from thethroat, with no apparent connectionbetween them, it is an indisputable factthat the relationship exists — obscure asit may seem to be.

The Spine and ItsDistribution Network

The spine, of course, is man’s

physical backbone. The spinal fluid,however, is something vastly differentand as important in its own sphere as thespine is in its physical function.

The spine starts at the base of the

skull, continues down in a series ofinterlocking vertebrae to the solidtriangular bone called the sacrum, andends at the coccyx.

The cerebrospinal fluid is a liquidsubstance only seven to eight one-thousandths heavier than the specificgravity of distilled water. It is the fluidwhich maintains a constant flowbetween the brain through the spinalcord, and enables every nerve in thebody to bathe its nerve cells in itconstantly. The eyeballs are filled withcerebrospinal fluid. In order to betterunderstand the far-reaching influenceand effects of this important spinal fluid,one should visualize its main locationand means of distribution. Study closely

the accompanying illustrations.In the skull, surrounding the brain,

we have, to the touch, the outer bone ofthe cranium on which the hair grows.Immediately underneath this bone thereis an attached membrane known as thedura mater, which has a spider-web like,fine membrane known as the arachnoid.The arachnoid, in turn, forms the “outer”wall of the canal which encircles thebrain and the entire spinal cord. The“inner” wall of the canal is likewisesupplied with the same kind ofmembrane, which is known as thesubarachnoid. The subarachnoid, in turn,is attached to a delicate and highlyvascular membrane of connective tissueknown as the pia mater, which envelops

the brain and the spinal cord, completingthe canal in which the cerebrospinalfluid circulates. These membranes, fromthe dura mater inward through the piamater, enable the blood and the nerves tohave free access to this vital fluid.

The spinal fluid is constantlycharged with a tremendous amount ofenergy, without which its effect couldnot reach every part of the anatomy. Thisenergy is obtained directly from thehypothalamus, whose function it is toadminister energy throughout the body.

THE SPINE

THE SPINE AND ITS RELATIONTO THE BRAIN

The principal nerves have their

origin in the region of the brain and fromglands and organs within the skull. Theyproceed through the neck into the spinalcord, from whence they are distributedto their allotted places in the anatomythrough the channels which areperforated in and between the manyvertebrae of the spine. Obviously, whentwo adjoining vertebrae get out ofalignment — a condition known as asubluxation — the nerves between thesevertebrae become pinched. This not onlycauses pain or discomfort to register, butit also blocks or interferes with thefunction of the spinal fluid in therestricted activities of the nerves

involved. No medication on earth cancorrect this situation, but chiropractorsare trained to re-adjust the vertebrae,whereupon the trouble almost instantlydisappears.

As mentioned previously, one veryserious cause of stress, tension andfatigue is the removal of tonsils. In somevery mysterious manner tonsils areintimately related to the nerve system ofthe anatomy and consequently to thespinal fluid.

The value of chiropractictreatments is inestimable because oftheir intimate relation to both the nervesand the spinal fluid. I know a lady, asenior citizen, who was vivacious,joyful and overflowing with energy

while a child. At the age of aroundeleven or twelve her tonsils wereremoved. Her early training andupbringing gave her a very proudoutlook on life which was of tremendoushelp in future years. Within a very fewmonths after her tonsillectomy she begangradually to lose both her energy and herinnate joyousness, but she was too proudto have people know.

Fortunately she married achiropractor, whom I have known formany years. I learned that his wifewould go through her work andactivities like a house afire — as he putit — then suddenly she would have todrop on a couch, utterly exhausted. Hetaught me a wonderful technique which I

want to pass on to my readers. He wouldhave his wife sit at a table and he wouldget behind her. Beginning at her neck atthe base of the skull, he appliesconsiderable pressure on the spine withthe knuckles of his first finger on eachhand, one knuckle on the right side of thevertebra and the other knuckle on the leftside of the vertebra. Keeping thepressure for about ten seconds, he thenmoves down to the next vertebra,repeating the same procedure for tenseconds on each vertebra until hereaches the sacrum. Then he clenches hisfists and start’s upward by pressingseveral vertebrae on each side of thespine with the three knuckles of hismiddle fingers, just as he did with his

forefinger knuckles, until he reaches theneck once again, this time exerting thesame pressure for only about six secondseach time. This treatment has a veryexcellent effect, which may even last aday or two if she has the opportunity torest as much as she needs to.

Actually, the effect of this pressureon each vertebra is to inhibit anymuscles involved in the development ofstress or tension. The muscles arethereby relaxed, and this relaxationspreads throughout the entire body. Thistreatment has also been very effectivewhen a person has trouble going tosleep.

The spinal fluid is replete withtrace elements in greater volume and

variety than any other organ in the body.These elements are distributedthroughout the body by means of theblood and nerves, which collect thesetrace elements from the spinal fluid. Toappreciate the importance and value ofthese trace elements you must realize,for example, that many of them are soevanescent that only about 10 or 15milligrams (a fraction of an ounce ofsome of them) could be extracted from2,000 pounds — one ton — of alfalfa,which is one of our richest sources oftrace elements.

Excessive fermentation andputrefaction are the spinal fluid’s worstenemies. To cause anything to impairthe effectiveness of this vital fluid would

almost be analogous to building-uppremature senility and possibly, apainful demise.

Do not, for one moment,underestimate the vigor with which Iadvocate the need to cleanse the colonby means of colon irrigations. The lifethey save may well be yours.

What was that you asked me? Do Itake colon irrigations? I most certainlydo! In fact, I have just this past weekconcluded my series of six irrigations inthree weeks — two a week.

The ChestYour Body’s Vitality Center

The Trachea

The trachea, or windpipe, extends

from the larynx to the bronchial tubes. Itlies against the front surface of theesophagus, is flanked on its sides by thearteries, veins and nerves of the neck,and is positioned behind the thymusgland. It is in close relationship to thelarge blood vessels entering and leaving

the heart.The trachea is larger in the male

than in the female. In the child it issmaller, more deeply placed and moremovable than in the adult.

In the neck, the trachea lies inrelation to the two lobes of the thyroidgland. Goiter is likely to affect thebreathing apparatus because of theconstriction which takes place from theswelling in the neck.

The trachea is greatly affected bythe accumulation of mucus in the sinusesand, in fact, by the presence of excessiveamounts of phlegm and mucus in thethroat.

The larynx is part and parcel of therespiratory system and of the trachea,

and is what we would call the voicebox. It is the organ by means of whichwe are able to speak, sing, shout, andloudly praise the Lord for giving us sucha miraculous instrument with which toexpress ourselves vocally.

The larynx is situated between thetrachea and the base of the tongue. Itconsists of a number of cartilages orgrist-like tissues such as the thyroidcartilage, the epiglottis cartilage, thecricoid cartilage and three other pairs.They are lined by a mucous membraneand are moved or operated by themuscles of the larynx. The mucousmembrane forms into two folds whichconstitute the vocal bands, the upperbeing the false, and the lower the true

vocal band. The changes in the pitch ofthe voice are provided by theapproximation or separation of thesebands. The space between the vocalbands is called the glottis. In birds thevocal cord is called the syrinx, or lowerlarynx, and is located at the division ofthe branches of the trachea.

THE BRONCHIALS AND THELUNGS

The larynx is continuous with thetrachea at its lower end and opens abovein the pharynx. This opening is reducedto a T-shaped interval during the act ofswallowing by the mechanism oroperation of the epiglottis, which is theflap of cartilage lying behind the tongueto the voice box. The larynx is the valvein the trachea which prevents liquids andsolids from entering the air passage inthe lungs. Its position is particularlyevident in men, as it is known as theAdam’s apple or laryngeal prominence.

When the body — and the colon inparticular — is overloaded with wastematter in a state of fermentation and

putrefaction, the larynx is easilysusceptible to inflammation, which maybe acute or chronic, from catarrh, frompus, or it can be due to diphtheria,tuberculosis or syphilis. All of theseconditions have responded in asatisfactory manner to the application ofcolon irrigations.

Consider the handicap of not beingable to speak! A series of colonirrigations, from long past experience,has enabled so very many people of allages to correct many disturbances. It iswell worth remembering whenever anyphysical affliction overtakes us to take aseries of cleansings; however,prevention is always the best policy,particularly when it concerns the matter

of health.

The Esophagus

The esophagus, or gullet, is a

muscular canal about nine inches inlength, extending from the pharynx to thestomach. It passes down the neckbetween the trachea and the spinalcolumn. Passing behind the left branch ofthe bronchial tubes, it pierces thediaphragm slightly to the left of itsmiddle line and then joins the heart endof the stomach.

A gradual change takes place in thefunction of the esophagus as thevoluntary muscular activity, of which we

are conscious, changes to the involuntarymuscle activity and forms the process ofpropulsion of food from the mouth to thestomach.

The chemical action to prepare ourfood for digestion starts in the mouthwhen we masticate our food, convertingit into a heterogenous mass, or bolus.This is saturated with the secretion ofour combined parotid, submaxillary,sublingual and mucous glands of themouth, ordinarily known as saliva. Thefunction of the saliva is to moisten thefood, to lubricate the bolus, to dissolvecertain substances, to help deglutition(the process of swallowing the food),and generally to help digestion. Thiswhole process takes place in the mouth,

so that the esophagus has nothing more todo than to propel the bolus from themouth to the stomach.

Naturally, when the body isafflicted with vast quantities of mucuswithin the area of the head, some of themucus is bound to filter through theesophagus. This mucus is a naturalmagnet for pathogenic germs andbacteria.

Obviously, thorough cleanliness isthe price of health, and we have foundthat colon irrigations at all stages of thecondition of our systems are aninvaluable means to give us assurancethat the beneficial germs and bacteriawill take care of whatever situation mayarise.

By living naturally and eating thefoods which regenerate the cells andtissues of the body, keeping our mind ona high plane of consciousness, we canhelp every organ in the body, includingthe esophagus, to work for us faithfullyfor a longer and healthier life.

Bronchials and the Lungs

The trachea, the bronchials and the

lungs are a continuous channel throughwhich the air that we breathe must passin order that the blood stream can collectthe oxygen and the nitrogen which thebody requires to keep us alive.

The bronchials, which are an

extension of the trachea, divert the airthrough the entire area of the right andleft lobes of the lungs. This actionprevents excessive accumulation of airin any one spot, to the harm or detrimentof that particular spot, or elsewhere.

The bronchials are lined with acellular tissue consisting of layers ofcells, the hair-like fingers of which leadupwards towards the throat to carrymucus and other extraneous materialaway from the lungs into the pharynx forelimination. This lining is composed oflymphatic vessels, nerves and smallblood vessels.

There is an under-lining, known asthe submucosa, which contains largerblood vessels and glands known as

trachea glands, whose ducts openthrough the mucous lining to the opensurface of the first lining.

For a very definite protectivepurpose, the diameter of the rightbronchus was created larger than that ofthe left one. If an object that has nobusiness getting into the lungs shouldenter the windpipe, it will automaticallygo through the right bronchus withoutaffecting the lung connected with the leftbronchus.

If you could see a cross-section ofyour body at about the level of the breastbone, in the center you would see thearea of the heart, with the sternum orbreast bone in front and the spinal bonesin the back. On each side you would see

the right and the left lobes of the lungs,with the root of the lungs on the level ofa vertebra’s inner surface.

Completely surrounding the lungs isa sack-like tissue known as the pleura,which consists of a canal known as thepleural cavity, which is enclosed on thelung side of the canal by a tissue knownas the visceral pleura, and on the otherside of the canal by a similar tissueknown as the parietal (or costal) pleura.When the health condition of the body isbelow par, one may be sitting in a draftand shortly feel a sharp pain as ifsomeone had pushed a knife into yourribs. A doctor would tell you that youhave contracted pleurisy.

The pleura is an elastic structure. It

is on this account that, when we do getbitten by such an agonizing pain, thesharp thrusts are the result of theexpansion and contraction of the lungwithin the pleura which squeezes thesensitive fluid in the pleural cavity.Prolonged affliction of the pleura causesinflammation which becomesprogressively afflicting.

Because the liver lies just belowthe root of the right lung, it has atendency to push the lung upward. Thismakes the right lung shorter and broaderthan the left lung, but in actual volume itis larger. The left lung, although longer,has less volume-capacity than the rightlung because the heart occupies aconsiderable portion of the left thorax.

Through the act of breathing, thelungs are able to give the blood aconstant supply of oxygen, withoutwhich we could not stay alive more thana few minutes. The lungs also collect thenitrogen from the air we breathe, andthis nitrogen is used to replenish theamino acids composing the protein in thesystem.

The lungs are of a light, porous,spongy texture which floats in water.They are connected with the bronchialsby a great many branches of bronchiwhich spread throughout the severallobes of the lungs, becomingprogressively smaller until they measureonly about one millimeter in diameter.At this stage they are called bronchioles.

The lungs are replete with myriadsof tiny sacs like microscopic bunches ofgrapes, called alveoli, which actuallydeposit the air we breathe into the bloodvessels which abound in the area andcollect from that same blood, the carbondioxide which must be removed from thesystem with every expulsion of ourbreath. In this manner our breathingconstitutes a constant in-breathing of airand out-breathing of carbon dioxide.Notwithstanding the multiplicity ofalveoli in the lungs, any air pollution thatwe breathe into our lungs has its definiteharmful effect on the condition of ourhealth.

The atmosphere of the city, whichis replete with carbon monoxide (the

deadly exhaust from internal combustionengines), gasoline, kerosene and similarhydrocarbon products, is responsible fora great many respiratory ailments andailments resulting in carbon monoxidepollution of the blood. This is, withoutquestion, one of the many reasons whyintelligent people who are able to do sohave been moving to the open country inrecent years.

Tobacco smoke is particularlydeadly, as indicated by autopsies ofcadavers of people who smoked tobaccomost of their lives. The alveoli weredestroyed in dangerously vast numbers,leaving the color of the lung black ascoal.

While your life is in your blood, the

air you breathe is a contributing factor indetermining the length of your life spanand the state of your later years of life,whether these will be healthy and happy— or end in a decrepit senility.

The condition of the entirebreathing apparatus, from the mouth andthe nostrils through the trachea, thebronchials, and through your lungs,depends on the cleanliness of the colonas well as the lungs. There is noescaping this phase of the care of thebody. Fermentation and putrefaction inthe colon have their effect on the healthof every part of the anatomy and,consequently, on the body as a whole.We have found through the years thatevery person coming to our attention

with bronchial and other breathingproblems, who cleansed their body bymeans of a series of colon irrigations,found relief from their affliction andfrequently discovered the loss of otherailments which had been bothering them.

The Thyroid Gland

The thyroid gland is located at the

front and sides of the neck and consistsof the right and left lobes which areconnected across the middle by a narrowstrip called the isthmus. The thyroid isslightly heavier in the female than in themale and becomes somewhat enlargedduring menstruation and pregnancy.

There is very close communicationbetween the lymph vessels and the bloodvessels in the capsule of the thyroidgland. The nerves are a mass of tissueoriginating from the sympathetic nervesystem of the neck. The thyroid is agland of internal secretion, which meansthat it has no ducts through whichsecretions can escape, except directlyinto the lymph stream and into the bloodvessels. When the thyroid is called uponto supply these secretions to the system,the vesicles in which they are generatedbreak open, and the secretion iscollected by the lymph stream andcarried to where it is needed. Thesesecretions are thyroid hormones whichthe body needs not only for purposes of

metabolism, but also for growth anddevelopment.

Iodine is one of the most importantnutritional requirements of the thyroidgland. Did I say iodine is one of the mostimportant? Iodine is by far the mostessential trace element needed by thethyroid gland in particular, and by theentire body in general. The importanceof iodine was never brought home to myconsciousness more than when Ihappened to be giving some lectures inCharleston, West Virginia. I hadoccasion to call on a doctor inClendenin, a small town of some 1,200or 1,400 inhabitants. He showed me twobottles containing salt, one from a saltmine nearby, the other pure white table

salt. He told me that when his father,who also was a Doctor, first arrivedthere goiter was something unknown. Atthat time, pure white table salt wasmaking its appearance in the grocerystores, and within a few years a highpercentage of goiters had made theirappearance in alarming numbers. Thereason? Natives had always used the saltjust as it came from the local mines. Thislocal salt contained a percentage ofiodine; however, the pure white tablesalt contained none! When this becameknown, the table salt made a quick exitfrom that area, and by the use of themined salt most of the goiters diminishedand many disappeared.

THE THYROID

The ability of the thyroid to utilizeiodine is related to the extent that thecleansing of the colon is maintained.This is particularly noticeable when anincipient goiter makes its appearance. Aseries of colon irrigations hasconsiderably sped up the utilization oforganic iodine by the thyroid. It has alsocaused the incipient goiter to bevanished, and has successfullyrecovered mental alertness.

Iodine is the basic ingredient of thehormone thyroxin. When the thyroid forany reason is unable to generatesufficient thyroxin, the skin attains apeculiar graying tint and bloats or

thickens, the hair becomes dry andbrittle, the body weight increases, and,worst of all, there is a loss of vigor andmentality. This condition is similar tothat experienced after a tonsillectomy,indicating the close relationship betweenthe thyroid and the tonsils, which areboth seriously influenced by thecondition of the colon.

This iodine deficiency must begiven serious consideration by folksliving in areas which have been found tobe afflicted with considerableincidences of goiter, as in parts ofMichigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin,and equally prevalent in the states ofWashington, Oregon and the mountainregions of Colorado. In these areas it is

particularly important to use colonirrigations several times during the year,and in order to remedy the iodinedeficiency some organic iodine shouldbe part of the daily diet (dulse andgranulated kelp).

The average adult requirement ofiodine is mighty small — only about onequarter of a milligram is figured as theminimum daily need. Half a levelteaspoon of powdered or granulatedkelp is ample. This can be mixed withany kind of food, the best being rawsalads and raw vegetable juices.

Here is where the benefit of livingon your own little farm in the countrycomes in. If you put 20 to 40 pounds ofpotassium iodide per acre in your soil,

you will be able to have a sufficientsupply of iodine with everything you eatthat is grown in that soil. If you keeppoultry and other livestock, you couldfeed them potassium iodide with benefitboth to them and to you. In fact, manyfarmers have found that in feedingpotassium iodide to their poultry, theeggs contained as much as 400% moreiodine than eggs from poultry withoutthis additive. The same is true of milkfrom goats and cows fed potassiumiodide.

My greatest objection to iodizedsalt is the fact that, apart from the benefitwhich may be derived from the iodine,its danger has not been eliminatedbecause it has been heated to tremendous

temperatures to make it pour.The importance of water balance in

the body must not be overlooked, as thethyroid is intimately involved in thisprocess. The human body is composedof between 75% and 80% distilledwater. If insufficient water fails tofurnish the necessary humidity to thewaste matter in the colon, constipationdevelops, as well as hard stools whichare painful and difficult to excrete. Thus,equal attention must be given both to thethyroid and the colon.

The body’s metabolism isdependent on the thyroid hormonethyroxin for its proper function; in theseareas both the thyroid and the colon arevery intimately involved.

The thyroid gland is controlled bythe pituitary gland, which we havealready discussed in a precedingchapter. This pituitary control, in turn, isadministered by the hypothalamus in themid-brain. It does not take any greatstretch of the imagination to realize whata wonderful, miraculous organ ourCreator conceived. He created it, as Hedid everything else, with perfection. Itis man in his free will, with which hewas endowed, who has degraded hisbody by heeding his appetite instead ofnourishing his body with the natural,unspoiled, unprocessed food intendedfor nourishment, replenishment andregeneration.

The Thymus Gland

The thymus gland is quite large in

infants and children, but after puberty itgradually shrinks. A boy only five-weeks-old will have a very largethymus. The thymus of an adult personwould be only a fraction of the size of achild’s.

In the past this gland wasconsidered to have run its course andoutlived its usefulness at puberty. It isnow known that the thymus has a veryclose relationship with the reproductiveorgans throughout life; this relationshipbegins at birth and continues on adefinite course during the development

of the reproductive system. During theperiod of adolescence, the glandbecomes more or less nervously agitatedand responds closely to the tonsils.Consequently, when the tonsils areremoved, the agitation of the thymuscauses the reproductive system toundergo serious psychological changesclosely akin to what happens to a manwho is castrated. We have seen, in ourpreceding chapter on tonsils, how far-reaching the changes can be in both menand women. The thymus has, so to speak,its own hand in that change.

The gradual loss of maximum sexproductivity and excitement can bebetter understood when considering theprogressive loss in the weight of the

thymus. At birth its weight is about 15grams; upon reaching puberty the weighthas increased to 35 grams; at the age of25 it has decreased to 25 grams; at theage of 60 it weighs about 15 grams,while at 70 it gets down to about 6grams.

The thymus is equipped with glandsof internal secretion which are related tothose of the reproductive organs. Theblood supply to the thymus is derivedfrom the internal mammary glands in thebreast and from the thyroid. The thyroidis a particularly important gland in ouranatomical economy. A disturbance ofthe thymus can be reflected in, or from,any of the reproductive organs, themammary glands, or the thyroid.

Likewise, such a disturbance could berelated to, or from, this particular spoton the cecum of the ascending colon.

THE THYMUS

During adolescence the outsidecoating of the thymus gland begins toacquire fatty tissues until, during themiddle twenties, a considerable coatingof fat has accumulated. Apparently thepurpose of this fat is for the productionof antibodies and immunizing material,which are passed into the lymph streamby the many lymph glands present in thethymus. These antibodies areantagonistic to the harmful action ofbacteria, germs and pathogenicmicroorganisms. The antibodies arecharacteristic constituents of the bloodand fluids of the body. In other words,the thymus becomes a manufacturing

plant for the production of antitoxins,counter-poisons and antidotes whichcounteract toxins throughout the system.These antitoxins fight disease, as well asbuild up immunity. This procedureworks splendidly, as long as the body,and the colon in particular, is in aperfectly healthy condition.

When the colon is neglected and thelymph stream becomes overloaded withwaste matter which it is unable todispose of, then the lymph fluid begins tostore up waste matter in the lymphglands throughout the system, a purposefor which these lymph glands werecreated. When these lymph glands arefilled to the limit of their capacity,trouble develops usually in the form of

lumps in a few or in many parts of thebody. One can appreciate thecooperation which exists between thecolon and the lymph stream.

As we have already observed, thethymus is intimately related to themammary glands in the breast. It isunderstandable, therefore, that thesesensitive mammary glands would be aneasy target for the formation of lumps,which is what frequently happens.Unfortunately, this condition hasdeveloped the all too frequent practiceof removing the breast by means ofsurgery, on the assumption that the lumpwas malignant.

During the past decade quite anumber of ladies, usually aged from

mid-30’s and older, asked for counseland advice because breast removal hadbeen recommended. Most of themheeded our opinion and promptly had aseries of colon irrigations which clearedup the lumps usually in a matter of days!

One particularly interesting casewas a lady I did not know, whotelephoned me from New York to tell meshe had just run out of the hospital whereshe had gone for observation todetermine the cause and condition oflumps all over her body. The nightbefore, while in bed in the hospital, shebecame curious to see what her card inthe rack at the foot of the bed had to sayabout her condition. She was shocked toread that she was due to go to the

operating room the next morning for anexploratory investigation for cancer. Shepromptly jumped out of bed, dressed,and rushed home. I told her it would beuseless for her to come all the way toArizona when she could perfectly wellbe taken care of in New York. I told herthat if I were so afflicted I would,without delay, take a series of colonirrigations on consecutive days for aboutthree weeks. She said that was exactlywhat she would do. I asked her to let mehear from her in the next three or fourweeks and let me know how she was.She telephoned me a month later to tellme that every single lump haddisappeared from her body, and she feltsuch wonderful energy and vitality that

she hardly knew what to do with herself.Of course, I should add that she drankseveral pints of fresh raw vegetablejuices and followed our program asclosely as she could every day duringthat month, and she intended to continueto do so. Exciting, is it not?

The lumps in this lady’s case werethe result of failing to keep the colonclean. The condition of the colon wascaused by ingestion of incompatiblefoods, foods cooked in oil and grease,and by drinking beverages whichcontributed to the disturbance of thedigestive system. Living in New York,she all too frequently ate in restaurantswhere she was not able to control thequality of the food, nor the manner in

which it was handled and cooked. It tookthe scare of a cancer operation toconvert her into eating natural foods.

Besides the relationship which thethymus gland has with the thyroid and themammary glands, it also has some director indirect relationship with both theadrenal glands and the solar plexus.

A disturbance in this particular areaof the colon frequently results fromexcessive mucus production as a resultof eating and drinking mucous-formingfoods. Of these, cow’s milk is the worstoffender. I have noticed that childrenbrought up drinking quantities of cow’smilk are by far more readily disturbedemotionally than children who werebreast-fed to at least 18 months and who

drank fresh raw goat’s milk and freshraw vegetable juices. These latterchildren were invariably moreemotionally stable and betterdisciplined.

As for adults, when the nature ofthe ingested food consists of an undueproportion of meats, fried and grease-cooked foods, and the colon is not clean,there is the tendency to find a sexualover-stimulation and the concomitantperversions associated therewith.

Never underestimate the value ofyour thymus gland. Our Creator hadmany good reasons for placing it rightwhere it is. It is your responsibility,therefore, to watch your food and keepyour colon washed and healthy while

you still have it.

The Heart

We are now on our way across the

transverse colon (please refer to theColon Therapy Chart for location), andwe have arrived at the area markedheart. The heart is purely and simply anautomatic organ. The automaticity of thebeat of the heart results from the functionof both the muscles and the nerves withwhich the heart is equipped; however,these alone do not contain the activatingforce which keeps the normal, healthyheart striking some 100,000 beats eachday for 50, 75, 100 years and more. Yet

this miraculous pump is just about thesize of a man’s fist.

The entire body contains only aboutfive quarts of blood. This is its entiresupply of blood, and a healthy body doesnot add any more to it throughout itsentire life. Nevertheless, during each 24-hour period, day after day, year in andyear out, this tiny pump, the heart, pumpsbetween 10,000 and 11,000 quarts ofblood throughout the body from head tofoot. Just think, during a mere 50 yearsthe heart will have pumped some 45million gallons of blood through yoursystem. Miraculous? No human couldcontrive a device that could begin toequal that performance.

Wherein lies the secret of such

constant, timely and efficient service? Itlies right in your mid-brain, in a mass ofnerves known as the hypothalamus. Asyou have learned in the chapter on thehypothalamus, this organ is thetransformer which lowers the cosmicenergy vibrations of the universe fromuntold millions of volts down to thedegree of energy-voltage which theindividual needs from moment tomoment. Thus, the hypothalamusadministers the perpetual motion ofcosmic energy by some computerizingmeans which we have not yetdiscovered, caring for the needs of theglands, organs and parts of the body.

One of the prerequisites of thenormal activity of the heart is the

constant state of cleanliness of the colon.If there is an excessive accumulation ofwaste matter fermenting and putrefyingin the colon, the results will affect theheart.

Some years ago, I had a telephonecall about 11 o’clock one night from alady in Kansas. I did not know her, but Idid remember that she had bought one ofmy Foot Relaxation Charts. She toldme her father was having a heart attackand she did not want to call a medicaldoctor.

THE HEART

I said to her, “You have my FootRelaxation Chart, if I remembercorrectly?”

“ ‘Yes,” she said. “I have it framedright in my room.”

I said to her, “You see where thesole of the foot. . .”

She interrupted me with theemphatic remark, “But my father ishaving a heart attack. His feet are allright!”

I continued, “You see where thepicture of the heart is on the sole of thefoot? If I were you I would take hisshoes off and take his foot in both myhands and press with my finger tips on

the area of the picture of the heart, withas much pressure as I could use, andkeep it up for about 15 minutes.”

She telephoned me again two dayslater to tell me she did this and in a fewminutes her father started belching andpassing foul-smelling gas in volumesfrom his bowels. He then slept soundlytill nine o’clock the next morning andwas back in his office that day.

Concentrated starchy foods cancause a great deal of trouble in the colonand can also be dangerous for the heart.The digestion of such starches inexcessive quantities causes the creationof abnormal amounts of carbon whichbecomes carbonic acid gas. To avoidthis danger we need to reduce our

consumption of starches to a minimumor, better still, avoid them.

Let me clarify this principle of theautomatic function of the heart. Therhythmical contractions of the heart mustessentially be a phenomenon originatingoutside of, and apart from, the cells andtissues of the heart, which are purelyphysical matter. There is no physicalmatter which can exercise any activity24 hours a day for 80, 90 or more than100 years without needing to be repairedover and over again. This does not takeplace in the heart. Therefore, it isobvious that the automatic function of theheart comes from some extraneous, andshort lived source. That source isunquestionably superhuman. Cosmic

energy is superhuman, and so are thecosmic energy vibrations emanatingfrom the hypothalamus, transmitted thereto the heart by some mysteriouscomputerized system. This wouldaccount for the fact that the heart of ahealthy vigorous man of 80, 90 and even100 years of age has not stopped itsheartbeat for one single instant.Physiologists have been calling thisquasi-perpetual motion an “inwardstimulus,” and so it is, emanating fromthe universe. our Creator certainlyaccomplished a perfect masterpiecewhen he created man’s heart.

The heart is very definitely affectedby impurities in the blood — and byfermentation and putrefaction of waste

matter anywhere in the system —because these impurities are collectedby both the blood and the lymph. Theblood and the lymph fluid passes throughthe heart constantly. Gases from thecolon can readily pass into any part ofthe body by the process of gas-osmosis.Obviously when a pocket of gas formsanywhere in the heart area it is verylikely to cause trouble, whether the gasis inside the transverse colon or in thearea of the diaphragm. At the beginningof the dissertation in this chapter, I havegiven a graphic example of how a heartattack can take place under suchconditions, and how by relaxing themuscles in the area involved the troublehas been dissipated and the heart attack

vanished.There are three particular mineral

elements which the heart needs, essentialonly in very small amounts — a merefraction of one percent. These arepotassium, sodium and calcium. Thepotassium and the sodium promote astate of relaxation in the muscles, whilethe calcium promotes a state ofcontraction. These elements are suppliedby the food we eat. When the food israw, these elements are in the form oforganic minerals which are readilyassimilated for constructive purposes bythe body. When these elements areobtained from cooked or fried food, theyare inorganic and much of their energyand value is lost. Fortunately, the body is

equipped with a vast degree of toleranceand can utilize such inorganic elements,but it does so at the expense of muchwaste of energy in the processes ofdigestion. Cooked and fried foods createfar more fermentation and putrefactionthan do the live, organic foods.

The blood is the life of the body,while the heart is the motor which keepsthat life in circulation. The regularfunction and activity of the heart isessential for our survival. Once webecome thoroughly conscious of this, wewill do everything in our power to keepthe body in tip-top shape — inside andout. Keeping the inside of the bodypreserved is by far more importantbecause we cannot know if anything is

wrong until an affliction, ailment orsickness suddenly warns us of the fact.In order to attain this tiptop shape oneshould concentrate on the colon —experience has taught me there is nothingmore important than this.

There is no organ in the body whichcan be tampered with or removedwithout some unpredictable damage ordanger occurring in the future. If at allpossible, it is the better part of wisdomnever to part with any organ, gland, ornecessary part of the anatomy. Alwaysremember that while our Creator madeyour body perfect in the very beginning,He has also supplied us with the mannerand means whereby we can remedywhatever transgressions to which we

have subjected our body.

The Diaphragm

We do not often hear the word

diaphragm spoken in connection withour anatomy. It is usually referred to asthe midriff. Actually, the diaphragm isthe partition which separates the cavityof the chest from that of the abdomen. Itis attached to the lumbar vertebrae in theback, and to the sixth or seventh ribs andtheir cartilages. When a person breathesthe diaphragm contracts, flattens andincreases the capacity of the thorax.

The diaphragm is a very importantmuscular structure involved in breathing,

in defecation, in the bodily activityduring childbirth, and in other processes.When one has hiccups the diaphragmcontracts in spasms. The muscles in theback of the diaphragm extend all the wayfrom the sacrum, at the bottom of thespinal column, to the skull, thus beingsubject to troubles which may afflict thespine.

The diaphragm muscles in thethoracic area causes elevation anddepression of the ribs when breathing.There is a very effective exercise whichI indulge in nearly every time I take awalk. It consists of blowing through theteeth to the sound of “SHOO-SHOO-Shoo-shoo-shoo,” repeated over andover again. Just try it, place your hand

on your diaphragm, go “SHOO-SHOO-Shoo-shoo-shoo,” and you will feel thediaphragm drawing inward. This meansthat you are forcing the stale air andcarbon dioxide out of the lower part ofyour lungs and automatically, as if by avacuum, you unconsciously draw intoyour lower lung a supply of fresh air.When I take my mile walk I alwayspractice this, the ground seems to justslide past me, and I return feelingrefreshed. A little practice will revealthe inward significance of this exercise.It was the late Dr. Thomas Gaines thattaught me this about 40 years ago.

The activities in which thediaphragm is involved are far toonumerous to be enumerated here. Suffice

it to say that it is actually one of the mostimportant parts of the anatomy, and isvery much dependent on the condition ofthe colon. If we consider the problem ofdefecation alone, we can understandwhy it is necessary to keep the colonclean in order to avoid complications inthe midriff when being obliged to usemuscular force in the region of therectum when defecation is difficult. Anycomplication which afflicts thediaphragm can affect breathing, and theaction of the heart. It can also interferewith the digestion and the assimilation offood, and cause pressure on the solarplexus, which can in turn affect theemotions.

It is always wise, useful and in

foresight to have a series of colonirrigations at least once every yearthroughout life. It pays — as nothing cancompensate for preventing prematuresenility or, for that matter, a state ofsenility at any age.

Chapter 7.

The Processing Center

The Stomach

Your stomach is either your friend

or your enemy, depending on what youput into it.

As long as you are up and aroundno one can put anything in your stomachexcept you. What goes into your stomachdetermines what will eventually be inyour colon; you cannot escape this fact.To say “you are what you eat” is a cliché

with much truth in it. The cells andtissues in your body are your servantsand are dependent on you for theirnourishment. They are constantly andfaithfully at work for you, day and night,for as many years as you give them theopportunity to regenerate themselveswith life by means of the food you eat.

To understand the operation of thestomach we should study the method bywhich the food we put in our mouthreaches the stomach. As you will havenoticed in studying the larynx, it is thevalve which shuts off the windpipe whenwe put something in our mouth that isintended for the stomach. Overlaying thetwo lips of the larynx is a membranecalled the glottis. Over the glottis there

is an additional membrane called theepiglottis. It’s function is to insure theclosing of the windpipe when food, orany substance, is forced toward theesophagus for entry into the stomach. Inthis manner the human body has taken thenecessary precautions to prevent ourchoking to death every time we swallowsomething. The opening and closing ofthe glottis is as instantaneous as it iscomplex, because not a second elapsesbetween the closing of the glottis and theentrance of the food into the esophaguson its way to the stomach. The speed ofthe passage of the food through theesophagus depends upon its consistency.When the food ingested is very soft orliquid it reaches the entrance to the

stomach in about one-tenth of a secondby the force of the initial act ofswallowing. When the food is solid orsemi-solid it is forced down towards thestomach by the action of the peristalticmuscles of the esophagus, usually takingseveral seconds to reach the stomach.

THE STOMACH

At the upper end of the stomachthere is a sphincter or ringlike musclewhich can contract or close the openinginto the stomach. This is called thecardiac sphincter and it is controlledboth by the vagus nerve, which functionsin digestive activities, and the ganglion,known as the semilunar ganglion, whichis a group of nerves having their root inthe solar plexus. These are closelyinfluenced by the adrenal glands.

The nerve roots in the solar plexusshould weave a picture in your mind.The solar plexus is the first organ in thebody to “tighten up” whenever there isthe slightest mental or emotional

disturbance taking place in theindividual. Consequently, any suchdisturbance is bound to affect thedigestion at its very beginning. It usuallytakes only half as long for food to reachthe bottom of the stomach as it did toreach the cardiac sphincter from themouth. The constrictive effect ofnegative emotions on the solar plexuscan be transmitted to the cardiacsphincter, resulting in any of thedigestive disturbances.

This relationship between the solarplexus, the adrenal glands, and thecardiac sphincter also has muchinfluence on the period of digestion.Some people can gulp down their foodwith no apparent harmful results, but

such a practice throws the digestiveglands, sphincter, and activities out oftheir normal rhythm, eventually causing aprolapsed stomach, indigestion, andeven ulcers in the digestive organs. Aslow eater who thoroughly insalivatesthe food in the mouth assists thedigestive processes considerably,provided of course that the food eaten isof a compatible combination.

The manner in which the food isprepared by mastication and insalivationhas considerable influence in theprocesses of digestion and in theultimate emission of the fiber and othernon-digestible material from the smallintestine into the cecum pouch of theascending colon. The finer the

mastication, the easier is the work of thedigestive glands and the liver.

Once the food gets into the stomachit is entirely cut off from any activity orpassage through any part of the digestivesystem, except during the seconds whenthe pyloric valve opens to let a minimalamount of the liquefied bolus passthrough at regular intervals. This allowsthe various gastric juices in the stomachto work on the specific type of mineral-chemical elements of which the foodeaten was composed. There is a definiteorderliness in the movement of thestomach, especially in the separation andejection of the more liquid parts of thebolus from the more solid.

The dome or fundus of the stomach

is not, as many suppose, to cushion airwhich is expelled when burping. It hasbeen put there for the stomach to use as astorage place for retaining the bulk offood while the activity of the pylorusmacerates the bolus and passes it outinto the duodenum from time to time. Themovement of the bolus starts within afew minutes after it has entered thestomach.

The stomach is flat and in a state ofcollapse until food is eaten. Then eachsubsequent mouthful takes its turn inbeing processed by the gastric juicesbetween the cardiac sphincter and thepylorus. Carbohydrate foods pass fromthe stomach soon after ingestion andrequire only about half the time required

by proteins for complete gastricprocessing. Fats, however, when eatenalone remain in the stomach a long time,but when combined with other foodstheir passage through the pylorus isconsiderably delayed. Fats are digestedby the heat of the body and this heat isregulated by the nerves involved in thedigestive processes of the stomach.

When a carbohydrate food is eatenbefore the ingestion of a protein food,the carbohydrate, having the advantageof a priority position, will pass throughthe pylorus and enter the duodenumpromptly, while the protein is delayedfor its gastric processing. If, on the otherhand, the protein is eaten before thecarbohydrate, the passage of the

carbohydrate out of the stomach will beretarded. When carbohydrate and proteinfoods of a concentrated nature are eatentogether, the bolus of such a combinationis treated first by the protein enzymes inthe upper part of the stomach, and thecarbohydrate food is thereby“contaminated.” When, at its allottedtime, the bolus reaches the middle partof the stomach, further acidulation byhydrochloric acid takes place. The resultof this delay causes the carbohydratefood to remain in the stomach longerthan necessary for its own enzymeprocessing; this is likely to result in itseventual fermentation along its waytowards absorption and elimination.This condition has a serious bearing on a

person’s elimination problems.In our present state of civilization,

man is the victim of his appetites. Heeats whatever he wants and at any timehe chooses. He is influenced by theenvironment in which he was born andalso by the customs and habits ofsociety. He may consequently adopt thesame eating habits of those in hisenvironment which, in the final analysis,may turn out to be poison for him.

The colon is the best indicator of aperson’s habits and of the condition ofhis body, whether the body is healthy ornot. To have a clean colon is the besthealth insurance we can have. There isno better way that we have found forattaining and maintaining a clean, healthy

colon than by means of colon irrigationsand eating the right food.

If we were able to live out in thecountry and grow our own foodorganically, we should have noconstipation or elimination trouble.After all, farm life may be a life of hardwork, but nothing in life is worth havingthat we do not work for. Farm life couldgive us all the nutritious foods we needwithout depending entirely oncommercial conditions.

The Pylorus

There is a valve at the exit of the

stomach which is known as the pyloric

valve. This valve controls the volume offood that leaves the stomach after thegastric juices have finished with it.Liquids usually pass through the pyloricvalve with priority over the bolus. Thepyloric valve has glands which secretean alkaline liquid containing pepsin, aswell as a substance which acts as achemical medium to stimulate the gastricjuices. This substance does not go intothe stomach but is taken into thebloodstream which carries it to thegastric glands, stimulating them tosecrete. The effect of this activity is nota usual reflex caused by nerves, but thestimulation of one organ by chemicalsubstances produced in another.

It must be remembered that the

hormone secreted by the pyloric glandsis mostly pepsin and hydrochloric acid.This same combination is used inside thestomach to break down and liquefy solidproteins. The importance of this pyloricgland secretion is very apparent in thefact that no solid protein of any kind canbe utilized in the process of digestion,but must be liquefied. Nature hasprovided an extra margin of safety toinsure the complete liquefaction ofproteins which were not liquefied in thestomach.

The Liver

At the top of the ascending colon

where it curves to the right on the chart(curves to left in the body) is the areamarked liver. This curve is known as theHepatic (or Liver) Flexure, and islocated immediately over the liver. Theliver is composed of the right lobe andthe left lobe, the right lobe being by farthe greater and larger of the two.

The liver is the largest gland in thebody and is the organ carrying on themost active and extensive operation inthe anatomy. Everything that goes downthe throat, in the form of food orotherwise, and every beverage that wedrink, sip or pour down our throat mustpass through, in more or less liquidform, the 25 feet of small intestine. Thesmall intestine is equipped with millions

of tiny, suction cup like organs calledvilli. Their purpose is to grab everymolecule from the material inside thesmall intestine and pass these moleculeson to the surrounding blood vessels. Theblood in these vessels instantly takesthese molecules to the liver where theyare split up into their component atoms.The segregated atoms are thencatalogued and assigned to other atomswhich, in turn, form new molecules ofthe kind the body calls for and which thecells and tissues of the body can use.

THE LIVER

Thus, it is useless to eat such thingsas “a complete protein” with theexpectation and the false assurance thatthis complete protein will be used by thebody. The so called complete proteinmust first be emulsified into aheterogenous mass called chyme andmixed with everything else in the smallintestine. In such a state, all molecules inthe chyme, whatever they happen to be,are gathered by the villi and passed bythe blood stream to the liver.

What was originally sugar andstarch is likewise broken down into theirrespective molecules and these, in turn,are disintegrated into the separate atoms

composing them and reassembled toform glucose. It is then converted intoglycogen and stored for reconversioninto glucose at which point it can bereleased into the blood stream fordelivery where it is needed. Glucose isa form of sugar present in many fruits,for instance, grapes, apples, bananas andalso in honey. It can be found in thelymphatic system and the blood streem.Glycogen is a tasteless carbohydraterelated to dextrin and starch.

The liver is naturally involved inthe collection of the various moleculescomposing the many vitamins necessaryfor our well-being. Consider the manyatoms which enter into the compositionof vitamins. Here are a few chosen at

random:

The vitamin department of the liver

cannot utilize any vitamins as a whole,composite substance. The nutritionalactivities of the body do not function thisway. The volume of each vitamin ingrams is so microscopic that only amiraculous computerized system,working within the anatomy in a mostmysterious manner, could have any more

effect on a 150 -or 200 -pound body thanon the body of a child. One pound ofpeeled bananas, for example, containson the average, less than one-quarter of amilligram of Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) andonly about 0.29 milligrams ofRiboflavin. Now realize that there are28,350 milligrams in one ounce and453,370 milligrams in one-poundweight. Cauliflower has only one-half amilligram each of Thiamin andRiboflavin per one-pound weight.

Obviously, if we eat mostly rawvegetables and fruits, nuts, sproutedseeds, plus raw vegetables juices, wecan get all the vitamins the body needs. Ihave never taken any vitamins as I get allthat my body needs by keeping my colon

clean and eating this type of food. I havenever found myself deficient in vitamins.Why? The atoms which my liver needsto make up whatever vitamins my systemrequires are obtained from the raw foodI eat, plus the juices I drink.

When I was a young fellow, beforeI knew any better, I ate what mostScottish people ate: porridge with milkand sugar, lots of starches such asscones, and cookies such as SingingHinnies made of starch and sugar. Thesefoods caused my liver to become greatlydisturbed, and it reacted accordingly.When I drank lots of carrot juice, I wasrewarded with a complete recovery;however, the accumulated bile could notbe eliminated through my clogged-up

colon fast enough and it was eliminatedthrough the pores of my skin. Everybodythought I had contracted jaundice, butafter a few months it cleared and my skinwas better than ever. Does it surpriseyou that I try to live as closely aspossible to what nature dictates? Don’tenvy me, go thou and do likewise.

A very important activity of theliver is the generation of bile. After thebile is generated it is stored in the gallbladder to be released into theduodenum, or second stomach, wheneveranything passes through it from thestomach. We will be discussing the roleof the bile in our next chapter. Suffice ithere to say that bile is involved in thedigestion and absorption of fats.

The liver is greatly concerned withpreventing blood-clotting. As vitamin Kis known to prevent hemorrhage, youshould appreciate the work involved incombining the vitamin K formula listedin a preceding paragraph. Just think,gathering together 31 carbon atoms, 46hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms toform the Vitamin K molecules —thousands of which will be needed toprevent your blood from clotting. Itstaggers the imagination! If you willnourish your body properly, keep yourcolon clean and your mind elevated,your liver will take care of you.

Other functions of the liver areconcerned with fat and proteinmetabolism. The liver is a detoxifying

agent and a blood reservoir. It breaksdown the hemoglobin of the red cellswhich have already served theirpurpose, and also stores copper, iron,and other trace elements for instant usewhen needed.

It is harmful and dangerous toneglect to care for the condition of thecolon. Parasitical interference with anyof the functions of the body, and of theliver in particular, is the cause of mostailments and physical afflictions. It is forthis reason that one makes no mistake intaking a series of colon irrigationsannually, unfailingly, as long as there islife in the body — particularly if oneeats orthodox foods prepared in theorthodox manner.

The Gall Bladder

The gall bladder is a bulbous sackattached to the underside of the liver inorder to serve as storage for the bilesecreted by the liver.

Bile is an important element in theprocess of digestion as it is mainlyinvolved in the digestion of fats. Bilehelps in the digestive processes byneutralizing the acid chyme whichpasses through the duodenum from thestomach by emulsifying fats. It alsopromotes peristalsis, the absorption of

elements in the body, by helping toprevent putrefaction.

The bile is composed of certainacids which form an intimately relatedgroup of natural products. While the bileacids occur free to some extent, they areusually combined with glycine or taurine(as in glycocholic acid and taurocholicacid) which results from the break downof proteins. Two of the better known bileacids are colic and lithocholic.

Cholesterin (cholesterol) is awhite, fatty, crystalline alcohol, tastelessand without odor, found abundantly inthe tissue of nerves; it is also present inbile and in gall stones. It does notcontain nitrogen, so it is not a part ofprotein. Lecithin and cholesterin are

usually found together, which indicates aphysiological aspect to their function.

I should deviate here for a momentto relate the interesting result of usingCleaver’s herb with which both gallstones and kidney stones have beencompletely dissolved. A gall stone about10 millimeters (about three-eighths of aninch) in diameter was placed in a testtube which was then filled with ateaspoonful of Cleaver’s herb steeped ina cup of hot, just short of boiling,distilled water. Within 48 hours therewas no trace of the stone to be seen.This has been repeated a number oftimes with similar results, leading to thecorrect conclusion that by the use of acup of Cleaver’s tea three or four times

a day, coupled with colon irrigations, itis possible for such stones to bedissolved and the bile duct cleared.

The gall bladder is an extremelyimportant organ in the body. To removeit only results in the development ofsubsequent difficulties in digesting foodproperly.

The Pancreas

The pancreas is a long, narrow

gland of internal and external secretion.It stretches from the spleen to slightlyhigher than the middle of the semi-circular bend of the duodenum. Its mainduct joins the duct of the gall bladder,

emptying into the duodenum. Thepancreas is a compound tubular glandlike the salivary glands in the mouth.

The pancreas is one of the mostactive glands in the system. Everythingthat goes through the duodenum requiressome of the digestive juices produced inthe pancreas. Pancreatic juice containsdigestive enzymes and is alkaline in itsreaction, serving to establish the rightconditions for the intestinal enzymes todo their work in the small intestine.

THE PANCREAS

Towards the middle of the pancreas

there is a group of glands of internalsecretion, known as the islands oflangerhans, which produce insulin, thehormone which regulates the metabolismof sugar (the blood sugar level) andother carbohydrates. When the body istoxic and the colon is afflicted withfermentation and putrefaction, theseglands are unable to produce this insulin,causing an intolerance of sugar by thebody. Under these circumstances thevolume of sugar is increased in theblood and is discharged into the kidneys.This condition is called sugar diabetesor diabetes mellitus. Many people soafflicted have found that the cleansing of

the colon by means of a series of colonirrigations, coupled with a completechange of diet of fresh, raw vegetableand fruit juices, raw vegetables andfruits, and nuts and sprouted seeds, hasmade it possible for them to avoid thefurther use of manufactured insulin. Infact, they found they derived muchbenefit from drinking one or two pints,every day, of the combination of carrot,celery, string bean and brussel sproutjuice as indicated in my book, FreshVegetable and Fruit Juices.

The pancreas is a very importantgland in our body and we should give toit the full complement of respect which itdeserves if we wish to attain any degreeof perfect, vibrant health. The first place

to begin is with your colon.Strange, is it not, that we human

beings have to be knocked flat before wewill listen to the wisdom with which ourCreator has endowed us. The summingup of the whole duty of man is to learnwhat is true, in order to do what is right.

The Spleen

The spleen is an organ lying on the

left side of the body inside the lowerribs. It is connected to the stomach bythe gastro-splenic ligament and to theleft kidney by the kidney ligament. Thespleen is composed largely of loose,adenoid tissue known as the splenic

pulp.It has its own inherent mechanism

by means of which it expands andcontracts, swelling up somewhat duringthe digestion of food. It is a large blood-filter placed on the main stream of bloodvessels known as the splenic-lienalartery. Among its many functions is theremoval of used-up, dead, red bloodcorpuscles from the blood, as well asany bacteria and other waste matterwhich might be present. The spleen alsoproduces antibiotics.

After conception and during thedevelopment of the fetus, the spleenmanufactures blood cells and red bloodcorpuscles, stores these, and deliversthem into the blood stream as is

necessary.There are some functions of the

spleen which have not yet beenobserved. Of one thing we are certain,constipation has a definite depressingeffect on the spleen, which affectsdigestion. Undoubtedly the reason forthis is that constipation, like any otheraffliction of the colon, creates a toxicstate which reacts on the entire system.To help keep the spleen in top conditionit is a good principle to maintain aregular yearly schedule of colonirrigations.

The difference between a plainenema and a colonic irrigation is thetype of equipment that is used and how itworks.

THE SPLEEN

Enema equipment consists of: 1

water bottle; 1 adapter; 1 long tubing; 1shut-off clamp; and 1 enema pipe. Forenema use: fill the bottle with warmwater, attach the adapter to the bottle,then slide on the rubber tubing with theshut-off clamp on it. Slip the enema pipeonto the other end of the tubing. Applylubricating jelly to enema pipe andsuspend the bag less than 3 feet abovethe hips. (Be sure to release the clamp toexpel air in the tubing before insertingthe enema pipe.) When in position, insertthe lubricated enema pipe into therectum and open the shut-off clamp topermit water to flow. By doing thisseveral times, or until the water expelled

by the colon is clear, takesapproximately an hour to wash out thefirst 18” of colon.

However a Colon Irrigation isusually done by a Licensed ColonicTherapist trained especially to docolonic irrigations. Using a stainlesssteel intrument which attaches to twosurgical latex hoses (one is small in sizeand is attached to a larger containerfilled with filtered water for best results,and one which is larger in size and goesdirectly into a waste drain). The clientlays on their left side with their kneesdrawn up and the therapist inserts theinstrument to the rectum. Then thetherapist allows the water to startflowing, entering and exiting the colon.

By administering small amounts of waterat a time, the therapist can graduallyincrease the amount of water until theentire colon is washed. The client isinitially placed on their left side, andthen turns onto their back and a gentlemassage of the abdomen is done to helpfacilitate the removal of feces. Theclient is then returned to their left sidefor removal of the instrument and to usethe bathroom. The irrigation lastsapproximately 30 minutes.

Colonic irrigations are morewidely used today than ever before. Ittakes approximately 15 enemas to dowhat one properly administered colonicwill do.

The Appendix

Proceeding up to the right of the

cecum we meet the appendix,technically known as the vermiformappendix. The length of the appendixmay be anywhere between one inch andsix, or in rare cases even eight incheslong. The usual length is about threeinches.

Through its entire center is achannel surrounded by an infinitenumber of glands which leads right intothe cecum. The appendix is under thegeneral control of the hypothalamuswhich, among all its other functions, ischarged with the protection of the human

body. The appendix is an organ, or betterexpressed as a gland, which hasreceived only a fraction of the interestand attention it should have since it wasfirst created by our Creator who knewexactly why He placed it there. I wantyou to particularly notice the cross-section picture of the appendix,illustrated in this chapter, showing theinfinite number of glands it contains.

Why do you suppose the Creatorwent to the trouble to place the appendixright in that particular spot? Let me tellyou. The appendix generates andsecretes a powerful germicidal fluidwhich is automatically injected into thececum only when the waste mattercoming from the small intestine through

the ileo-cecal valve is potentiallyharmful to the welfare of the individual.

A medical dictionary I havebrushes off the importance of theappendix by describing it simply as “thesmall blind gut projecting from thececum.” As a matter of fact, theappendix is the “Watchman on theTower” so to speak; or in other words, itis the first line of defense located wherethe residue from digestion of food leavesthe small intestine and enters the colonthrough the ileo-cecal valve. Whenhealthy and in good working order, theappendix is alerted and injects into thececum its germicidal fluid whichneutralizes any residue that could in anyway interfere with the proper

elimination of waste through the five feetof large intestine, or colon.

THE APPENDIX

Obviously, if the food ingested is

toxic or incompatible, the residueemitted through the ileo-cecal valve willbe toxic and require neutralization. Inlike manner, if the colon does notreceive the attention it must have to keepthe waste matter moving out regularly(attention which the individual must giveto it by washing it out when necessary),the residue is likely to remain in thececum until it ferments and putrefies.

This excessive retention of wasteeventually results in the appendix havingto work overtime. When the limit oftolerance in this overtime work has beenreached, the poor, tired appendixbecomes sick and a state of inflammation

takes place. This condition is labelledappendicitis. Once the limit ofinflammation has been reached, it bursts.Colon irrigations are the best means ofmaintaining a clean colon and keepingthe appendix healthy and in goodworking order.

Many years ago, I had a young ladyworking for me who telephoned to tellme she would be about two hours latefor work. When she arrived, she sharedthe cause of her delay. At about twoo’clock that morning her fourteen-year-old brother awoke with a shriek whichmade every member of the family jumpout of bed and rush to see what was thematter. The boy was having agonizingpains in his right loin, which indicated to

his mother that appendicitis was thetrouble. She rushed to the telephone andcontacted the doctor who arrivedimmediately. He confirmed the mother’sfears and ordered the boy immediately tothe hospital.

As soon as the doctor left, the boy’ssister (my secretary) took out her enemabag and gave the boy a enema every halfhour, for four hours. When theambulance arrived, the intern examinedthe boy and said there was no need totake him to the hospital as he seemed tobe getting along very well. The boyrested all that day and was back inschool the following day.

Unfortunately, the germicidal fluidof the appendix does not destroy either

worms or their eggs; thus, underconditions favorable for thedevelopment of a colony of worms,these can nest and propagate in thebottom of the cecum, causing the V-shapeto form which is visible in an X-ray.

Any disturbance of the appendix orof its performance is the direct result oftoxic residue emanating from the smallintestine as a result of the ingestion ofthe wrong kinds of foods and beverageswhich has become a habit wheneverappetite led the way to the refrigerator,the dining table or to the coffee house.We just cannot escape this tragic state ofaffairs as long as we eat to satisfy themind and the palate instead ofconsidering, “What does my body

need?”It has been very gratifying to me

that my books Become Younger, FreshVegetable and Fruit Juices, and Guideto Diet and Salads have beenconsistently in demand since I firstpublished them, and today they are ingreater demand than ever. The thousandsof letters which I have received — andam still receiving from the world over— confirm the fact that the WalkerProgram outlined in these books hasbeen of value and effect for everyonewho followed it through.

This is not intended as a “plug” formy books. I mention this because somany people ask, “What can I do to besaved from these afflictions?” And after

having been told to purchase and studymy books, putting into practice thenatural principles outlined therein, theyeventually write — and even telephone— to tell me what wonderful results theyhad.

It all boils down to this: Eat asmuch raw food as possible, drink freshraw vegetable and fruit juices, drink atleast two pints of distilled water everyday, and never neglect giving attentionto the colon. Never hesitate to havesome colon irrigations — twice a year ifnecessary — every year as long as youlive. Your appendix will appreciate it —every part of your anatomy willappreciate it! — and you may avoid thathorrible period of premature senility, as

well as enjoy a comfortable, peaceful,healthy old age.

Don’t look behind! Keep yoursights on the present and the future. Thepast is history; your future is ahead ofyou. See that you make it wellworthwhile.

One last word: Don’t part with orlose your appendix. It would be verymuch like killing the goose that lays thegolden egg. If your appendix has alreadybeen amputated, make the best of it bywatching your diet and your colon evenmore meticulously.

Your Adrenal Glands

The adrenal glands are sometimescalled the supra-renals, derived from thearchaic “reins” for kidneys. In the bookof Isaiah, chapter 11, verse 5 we read,“Faithfulness [shall be] the girdle ofHis reins,” and several other suchexpressions.

The adrenal glands are like a hat onthe top of each kidney, each glandconsisting of two distinct sections: thecenter part called the medulla and theouter part the cortex. The medulla stemsfrom the nerves which are the source ofthe sympathetic nerve system, therebydirectly connecting it with the rest of thebody. The medulla also secretes thehormone epinephrine. With the possibleexception of the thyroid gland, the

adrenals have a richer supply of bloodthan any other organ of relative size inthe body.

The cortex with its hormones isessential to life. If there should happento be a deficiency of these hormones, adisturbance of the fluid and of theelectrolyte balance in the system willfollow. These hormones are involved toa very important extent in themetabolism of protein, fats andcarbohydrates. Emotional excitement,intense muscular exertion, cold, pain,and shock are all conditions of stress.What these hormones do is enable theindividual to meet those stresses as theoccasion arise. Failure of the adrenals toproduce these hormones will also

reduce the ability of the body to resistinfection.

Cortisone is a preparationmanufactured with the intent to duplicatethe effect of this hormone and has insome instances proved effective;however, the side effects in far too manycases have been very harmful to thevictim of its use. Personally, from myown observation of some of these sideeffects, I would not under anycircumstances subject my body to itsuse.

The cortex is under the control ofthe pituitary gland and, in addition, thetwo have a reciprocal cooperativefunction. Obviously, what will affect onegland will also have a similar effect on

the other. Because of their closeproximity, a radical disturbance of thekidneys automatically disturbs theadrenals, but the effect of fermentationand putrefaction in the colon has a moreconstant negative effect on both theadrenals and the pituitary. A poor coloncondition in every way can harm the restof the body and the important glands inparticular.

As stated above, the medullaproduces the hormone epinephrine. Thishormone is also manufactured forinjection into the bloodstream, causingacceleration of the heart and constrictionof the blood vessels, thus raising theblood pressure. Another effect is on theliver, releasing sugar which, in turn,

raises the level of sugar in the blood.The hormone adrenalin is also secretedby the adrenals and differs so very littlefrom the epinephrine that its formulamakes an interesting study. Epinephrineis composed of C10H13NO3 plus ½H2O,while the formula for adrenalin isC9H13NO3. Notice that the former hasjust one atom more of C (carbon) thanadrenalin. They both have more or lesssimilar effects on the system. When thesehormones have been injected into thespinal cord the blood pressure risesmore than 100% by the time thehypodermic needle is removed.

In laboratory tests, the action ofadrenal extracts (adrenalin) on musclealways reflects the effect of stimulating

the nerves of the sympathetic nervesystem supplying the muscle. Obviously,the secretion of the adrenalin hormone inthe adrenal glands has a direct effect onthe nervous system of the body. Unduestress in our work or other phases of ourlives would cause the excessiveproduction of adrenalin in the body,increasing nervous tension.

Injections of adrenalin in patientsafflicted with Addison’s disease havenot had permanent results because theinjections soon lose their effect. This isunderstandable when we consider themultiplicity of effects resulting from thisaffliction: marked emaciation,progressive anemia, low blood pressure,gastrointestinal disturbance and extreme

debility. Although this is a chronic andfrequently fatal malady, we have knownvictims who, considering everything elseof no avail, decided to try a drasticcleansing program by means of manyweeks of colon irrigations, an ampleintake of fresh raw vegetable and fruitjuices, fresh raw vegetables, fruits, nutsand sprouted seeds, and found it to bevery beneficial.

There is no question that in the finalanalysis, the body’s own adrenalsecretions are intended by nature to keepblood pure and active. This isdependent, of course, on the individualdoing his share by keeping the bodyclean and properly nourished. The toneof the muscles is dependent on the

adrenal secretions; without them,debility is found to follow. Thesesecretions are also essential because asa result of metabolism they have an anti-toxic effect on toxins in the body.

The adrenal glands have a verydefinite and strong effect on thereproductive organs. To allow the mindto become obsessed with sex has adirect malevolent effect on the adrenals,resulting in what we would call apornographic mental aberration.

It is wise to keep both the mind andthe colon clean.

Chapter 8.

The Reproductive OrgansAnd Their Effect On The

Colon

The genitals are the reproductive

organs. Generally, the physical, mentaland spiritual care and use of theseincredibly wonderful organs ofreproduction are completely blanketedby the senses.

It is a perfectly normal and naturalfunction of every specie to reproduce inorder that they should not become

extinct. However, the excessive use andabuse of these organs is directlyresponsible for many afflictions of thehuman race.

Appetite, in every form andrespect, is one of man’s most insidiousenemies. Hunger is the body’s call forfood, but an excessive appetite becomesa vice which usually results in drasticand unforeseen afflictions when it isused and indulged in to excess.

While discussing the appetite, it isimportant to consider the effect of foodon the system. Excessive use of hotcondiments results in over-stimulation ofthe digestive system which, in turn,affects the kidneys and the genitalsaround them. The stimulation of the

genitals by the use of hot peppers and thelike is notorious, as is the excessiveconsumption of heavy meats, such as theflesh of animals.

Many years ago a noted healthlecturer who prided himself on hisphysique and his manly vigor, havingabundantly eaten flesh all his life,decided that perhaps the WalkerProgram might have some merits. Hesampled the program for about twoyears, after which he returned to hisformer eating habits, claiming that whileit did effectively improve his health, theprogram had the tendency to slow downhis sexual proclivities.

Anything that we put into oursystem that stimulates sex desire and

activity can automatically have anegative, degenerating effect on the cellsand tissues of the brain.

Male Organs: the Testes

The testis (plural is testes or

testicles) is the male genital orreproductive gland corresponding to theovary in the female. It produces thespermatozoa. The spermatozoa, orsperm, has the function of fertilizing theegg. It is relatively small in relation tothe egg. Being a live organism, it is moreor less capable of active, spontaneousmovement by which it approaches orenters the egg. It is discharged in a

gelatinous fluid known as the semen.When one considers that the period

of reproducing a single orgasm ordischarge of the semen requires anaverage of 35 days, it can readily beappreciated why the excessive dischargeof this semen causes weakness, andwhen deliberately exercised by an adultmay cause premature loss of the abilityto function sexually. All too oftenweakness and senility is the result of alifelong abuse of such a practice.

Twenty percent of the semen iscomposed of cerebrospinal fluid. As thecerebrospinal fluid emanates from theregion of the brain, the unnecessary lossof semen causes weakness and eventualdegeneration of the brain cells and

tissues. Loss of memory is one of theend-effects of such a disturbance.

Man’s virility depends upon hisconservation of the sperm, not his abilityto waste it. Marriage laws and thecommandment against adultery werepromulgated with this end in view.

If you will study the cross-sectionillustration of the pelvic region and lookat the proximity of the prostate gland tothe rectum, you will appreciate the needfor colon irrigations to prevent theexcessive accumulation of feces andother waste matter in the region of theanus and the rectum. Once this areabecomes clogged and its contentsmagnified, the pressure against theprostate can, and usually does, cause

either prostate or testicle trouble.There comes to mind a case of an

Italian laborer whose testicles wereenlarged very nearly to the size of arugby football and his prostate alsoinflamed. This affliction, undoubtedly,was due to the delicious pizzas that hiswife fed him with the addition of plentyof Vino. He was afraid to go to amedical doctor because one of hisrelatives, somewhat similarly afflicted,was operated on for the removal of thetestes and he became impotent. Becauseof my familiarity with the Italianlanguage I was able to induce him totake a dozen colon irrigations. In thecourse of two or three months heappeared on his own volition for another

dozen irrigations. In about 18 months histesticles were almost normal and hisprostate trouble had vanished.

THE TESTICLES

The Prostate Gland

The word prostate in anatomical

language is derived from the Greek“prostates” which means “one whostands before.” The prostate gland,located between the rectum and the neckof the urinary bladder in the male, ispartly muscular and partly glandular. Itdischarges a viscid, opalescent secretioninto ducts leading to the floor of theurethra. The urethra is the canal whichcarries the urine from the bladder andalso serves as the genital duct.

The strategic location of the

prostate between the urinary bladder andthe rectum necessitates givingmeticulous attention to everything thatman puts into his system. The perfectset-up for inflammation and cancer isobvious. The fermenting and putrefyingwaste matter in the colon on the onehand, and the many insidious elements,which can find their way into the kidneysand the baldder on the other, makes theprostate an easy victim.

Inflammation can so restrict theurethra that urination may be painful.When the condition is aggravated, theemptying of the bladder may not bepossible. This condition is known asprostatitis.

The prostate gland is also an easy

prey to cancer if internal cleanliness isnot practiced meticulously. Deepresentments, stress, worry, anger, fearand the multiplicity of similar attitudesare definite contributing factors whichpredispose the prostate gland to ailmentsand disease.

We had a young friend in his mid-thirties, with three children, who wasfilled with fear lest he fail to take propercare of his family financially. Heworked hard, much too hard, and at toolong a stretch at a time. He was alwaysworrying, yet tried to keep his fears andworries from becoming apparent toothers, particularly to his wife. He triedto be meticulous about eating correctfood and generally strived to take good

care of himself, under the circumstances.All this was of no avail. He developedinflammation of the prostate whichturned into cancer. His wife insisted thathe go to the hospital, which he did verymuch against his wishes and betterjudgment. He left the hospital for hisfinal eternal home while his widow wasleft to take care of what was left of hisbody. The doctors said he died ofcancer. I say he died as a result of hisnegative frame of mind. Even colonirrigations cannot overcome a negativestate of mind. How very true it is that,“As a man thinketh, so is he.”

Colon irrigations are the first lineof defense for the prostate in particular,as they prevent the accumulation of

waste matter and feces which can clogup the rectum. This is a matter far tooserious and important to pass overlightly. One cannot imagine the vastramifications of afflictions, ailments anddiseases which can eventually resultfrom neglecting to keep the colon cleanand bowel movements regular. Thisinsistence is not fanaticism; it is good,common sense. When this matter isneglected and the point of no return isreached, it is too late to wish that it hadbeen taken care of years ago. Failure topractice prevention may turn out to belethal.

Female Organs - The Uterus

The uterus is the female organ of

reproduction. It is more than that,however, as it is intimately involvedwith the life-long problems of the femaleto such an extent that it can, and usuallydoes, affect the entire domesticenvironment.

Generally speaking, the troubles ofa woman who is not married never end,but when a woman gets married hertroubles are multiplied!

Perhaps the least known cause ofone of woman’s greatest handicaps,fatigue (constant weariness, inability to“catch up” with insufficient sleep), is theloss of her tonsils. This fact is notgenerally recognized, yet it is proven

daily. Nevertheless, children — andfrequently adults — are still subjected tothe needless loss of these two vital littleorgans which have a vast and adevastating effect on the entire life of theindividual. And please bear in mind thatmales are not in the least more resistantto this evil than females.

As already explained in apreceding chapter on the subject oftonsils, it is rarely necessary to removethem. Their inflamed or diseasedcondition is a warning that there is fartoo much toxicity in the body for thesystem to overcome without seriousconsequences. Instead of removing thetonsils, a series of colon irrigationswould help to remove the corruption in

the body, which manifested itself inafflicted tonsils.

A woman who has had her tonsilsremoved, who has six children whosetonsils have likewise been removed, hasmultiplied her share of troubles sixfold;namely, her own and those of each of herchildren. Be sure to study the chapter ofthis book entitled Connective TissueAnd Vitamin C.

The uterus is a hollow muscularorgan. It is comprised of a single thickwall and is more or less pear-shaped.The urinary bladder is in front of it andthe rectum and sigmoid flexure of thedescending colon are behind it.

THE UTERUS

Now examine the two pictures of

the colon, the illustration of the normalcolon and the one showing the colonfilled with corruption and wasteimpactions. Imagine the rectum and thesigmoid flexure bloated with solid fecalmatter behind the uterus, and the urinarybladder filled to capacity because timehas not been taken to empty it. The uterusis squeezed between these two bloatedorgans! Is it surprising that there are somany instances of a prolapsed uterus? Itwould be indeed very surprising ifsomething more serious does not happen— cancer, perhaps?

The cavity within the uterus istriangular in shape and is flattened on the

front side and on the rear. Theillustration in this chapter shows thecross-section of the female pelvic area.It graphically pictures the long uterus inthe center, with the sigmoid colon at theupper right and below it the smallintestine. Below it and to the right youwill see the inside of the rectum; justabove the lower part of the rectum is thevagina, next to it is the urethral channeland immediately above is the urinarybladder.

Looking at this illustration, picturethe sigmoid and the rectum distendedwith the accumulative residue of alifetime of incomplete evacuations. Inaddition, imagine yourself with thebladder filled to capacity and you are

unable to get to the bathroom to voidright away. What happens to the wombor uterus? If you happen to be pregnant,what punishment for the child beingdeveloped within, utterly unable to doanything except patiently await the timewhen he is born. What a colossalresponsibility it is to be pregnant! Foryour own sake and the sake of yourunborn child should you not keep thecolon as clean as you possibly can! Howcan you best do that? Certainly not bylaxatives! Colon irrigations are the onlylogical and intelligent answer!

A woman in every stage and phaseof life should follow the practice ofprevention. A woman who is not marriedneeds to keep her organs functioning as

near to perfection as possible in order toprevent the unavoidable consequences ofneglect. A woman’s greatest tragedy is tolook old and haggard at 30, 40 and 50years of age. This state is not necessaryif she will learn to eradicate from hermind and consciousness every vestige ofresentment and take things as they come,remembering that the evil might beworse. Avoid becoming jealous, angryand vindictive, and put all negativethoughts and feelings in the waste basket.That’s where they belong! Don’t everblame anyone on earth except Eve foreating the forbidden fruit and bringingall troubles upon womankind. Be happy,joyous and enthusiastic! It helps!

I should add a few words about

smoking, which is one of the mostdegenerating and degrading practices towhich so many women have becomeaddicted. If you think that smoking isglamorous, you are worse than foolish. Ifyou think that smoking “quiets yournerves,” you are bordering on idiocy.The most harmful habit that a woman canacquire is smoking. She becomes anicotine addict. Why? Because a womanneeds pure blood, and one of the life-sources of the blood is the air which isbreathed into the lungs. The bloodextracts the oxygen from the air for thesustenance and cleansing of the cells andtissues of the body and extracts nitrogenfor the regeneration of amino acidscomposing the protein in the system.

Tobacco smoke clogs up the little grape-like bunches of air-sacs in the lungs,making it impossible for them to makefull use of clean air. Just as it isimpossible to smoke without inhaling, itis impossible to breathe pure air in asmoke-filled room. Even if a persondoes not smoke, breathing smokepolluted air has a similar effect on thesystem. If women could just take a peekin some of the “hidden” sections ofhospitals specializing in the treatment ofcancer, they could see men and womenwith no noses, or mouths, or anything leftof the lower part of their faces, becauseit has been all eaten away by cancercaused by tobacco smoke. If you envysuch people and you don’t care what you

look like, then, dear sister, go ahead andsmoke all you want!

Smoking by women also has adirect effect on the reproductive organs,frequently causing premature menopausewith its concomitant pains anddiscomforts. Anything that interfereswith Nature’s processes results in adisruption of the comforts of life.

Failure to keep the urinary bladdervoided as promptly as possible, whilethe sigmoid and the rectum are filledwith fermentation and putrefaction, canresult in many of the menstrual troubleswith which girls and women arefrequently afflicted. Colon irrigationscan save you so much trouble!

The Mammary Glands

The woman’s breast, known as the

mammary glands, is inextricablyconnected and related to herreproductive system. They are alsoinvolved with and participate in thefunctions and activities of other glands,such as the pituitary, the parathyroid, theadrenal and not the least of which is theovaries. Also the influence of themammary glands on the tonsils istremendous. The physiological,emotional and spiritual phase of awomans everyday life is regulated andbalanced most effectively when thewelfare of the entire system is involved.

Obviously, when this particularsacculation of the colon, which relates tothe mammary glands, is allowed toaccumulate and excessive volume offermenting and putrefying waste matter,the mammary glands will relay thiscondition to other glands. Anunaccountable disturbance will arise,characterizing the woman as unstableand capricious.

As a matter of fact, when a woman

is in as nearly a perfect health conditionas is possible for her to be in this dayand generation, she finds her intuitivefaculties quite keen and alert. On theother hand, when the colon has beenneglected for a lifetime, better instinctsare dimmed and the mind leans towardself-pity. This is the case particularlywhen the tonsils have been removed.

The pituitary gland, as we haveseen in a preceding chapter, hasadministrative rulership over the nerves.We have frequently noticed from X-raysof the colon that, while the cecumsacculation which denotes theconnection with the pituitary seems to be

in order, the sacculation relating to themammary glands indicates a disturbance.This is reflected in a nervous conditionin women and can disappear after aseries of colon irrigations have beenadministered.

In the relationship of the mammaryglands to the adrenals and theparathyroid, there could be a disturbanceof fat metabolism as well as the possibleinception of tumors. A worsedisturbance could arise from thelymphatic system which could expressitself as lumps in the breast. Suchdisturbances have satisfactorilyresponded to the cleansing of the colonby a series of colon irrigations.

The mammary glands have much to

do with the regulation of menstruation.Irregularities in this area are all toofrequently related to the impactedcondition of the colon. Theaccompanying picture, copied from anX-ray which was made of the colon of a36-year-old lady, indicates howseriously the balance and the regularityof the female anatomy and its functionscan be affected. In this particular case,note the inverted “V” at the bottom of theascending colon, indicating the presenceof worms. At the other end of the colon,notice how impacted the rectum is withwaste matter. This indicates grossneglect on her part to respond to the callof the bowel. It also points out the harmthat the weight of this mass would have

on the uterus and the urinary bladder, allof which would result in the disturbanceof the menstrual process.

ABNORMAL COLON OF A 36-YEAR-OLD WOMAN

It is bad enough that a man would

neglect to keep his colon clean causing abloated rectum to give him prostatetrouble, but a woman has far more andvaried troubles which she could andmust prevent if she expects to bypass themany afflictions which befall women.

Do not think for one moment thatcolon irrigations alone can, at any timeand in any way, become a cure-all. Farfrom it. If you have not given muchthought to what you put into your body,you had better wake up and do someserious thinking. I would suggest that youstudy my book Guide To Diet & Salad.This book contains samples of my ownmeals, about which thousands of people

of all ages have written to say havechanged their lives for the better.

There is also another extremelyimportant phase to be considered: themental and spiritual side of our dailylives. Watch your mind carefully, studyits notions, learn to control yourthoughts. Whatever you do, don’t gooverboard on any philosophy.

A lifetime of research has pointedout to me that our Creator created eachone of us for a purpose; it is up to us todiscover that purpose.

Chapter 9.

The Filtering AndElimination Center

The Kidneys

We have two kidneys: one on the

right, the middle of which is just abouton the level of the 12th, or lowest rib,and one on the left, the center of which isjust about on the level with the pyloricvalve of the stomach. They are bothlocated far back in the diaphragm regionof the anatomy. They are only about 4½

inches long, about 2 inches wide, andabout 1¼ inches thick. You can see whatthey look like by turning to the chapteron the adrenal glands in which the leftkidney is illustrated.

The structure of the kidneys is verycomplex and this is not the place to gointo the details. They are organs ofelimination of liquid excreta, and thework they do is nothing short of amazing.

Every cell in the body, withoutexception, uses food to remain alive andto work for us. Each cell has its ownprocess of assimilation and in the courseof this process it has waste to eliminate.This waste is the endproduct of theprocess of metabolism. Metabolism isthe process concerned with the building-

up of the tissues and cells, as well astheir destruction. Metabolism involveschemical changes in the tissues and theirliving cells, by which energy isproduced for their vital functions. Newmaterial is assimilated to repair theworn-out cells. Thus, two steps areinvolved in metabolism. Theconstructive step is the building-up ofnutritive substances into the morecomplex, living protoplasm. Thedestructive step, with the liberation ofenergy, causes the decomposition andoxidization of the constituents ofprotoplasm into simpler bodies. Whilethese processes of construction anddestruction proceed together, one maypredominate and obscure the other,

causing an imbalance. It is obvious,when considering these processes ofmetabolism, that to deprive the tissues ofliving organic food results in thepredominance of the destructive phase.When this proceeds beyond the limit oftolerance we have the seeds of toxemiaspringing up.

As the cells and tissues of the bodyuse food and oxygen they naturallyproduce metabolic waste such as carbondioxide. This, together with smallamounts of water, is eliminated throughthe lungs. Water, carbon dioxide and thesecretion of some glands are discardedthrough the eliminative system. Theelimination of liquids segregated frommetabolic substances, is taken care of by

the organs of the urinary system.The kidneys perform the complex

task of extracting toxic waste of proteinmetabolism from the blood in the form ofuric acid and urea. In addition, theyextract from the blood and lymphaticsystem minerals and elements that havebeen used-up and cast-off, as well aswaste water.

Besides being active in thesefunctions, the kidneys also regulate theactivities which go on in theirenvironment, such as quality and volumeof water in the tissues, the osmosisprocess, and regulation of acid-balance.

The kidneys produce a secretioncalled rennin, which is taken up by theblood to be transmitted and used by the

system when there is a need to constrictblood vessels.

Some secretions of the kidneys areinvolved in metabolic processes. Thefailure of the kidneys to secrete these,either wholly or in deficient quantities,results in deposits of uric acid. Theresulting condition of uremia is causedby the retention of excreta in the bloodwhich the kidneys should haveeliminated. This is characterized byheadaches, vertigo, vomiting, partial ortotal blindness, convulsions, coma,partial paralysis and a urinous odor ofthe breath.

Kidney stones are the result of thecoagulation of mineral and otherelements which form, in part, because of

the composition of incompatible foodsand foods cooked in oil or grease. Themetabolism of the digestive system wasnot able to process these, and they wereconsequently excreted into the blood andpassed on to the kidneys. When theblood carries such waste to the kidneys,they are not able to filter it forelimination in the urine, and stones arethe result. We have seen kidney, as wellas gall bladder, stones dissolved in amatter of two to four days by immersingthem in a test tube filled with Cleaver’sTea, an herb readily obtained at healthfood stores. Herbalists frequentlyrecommend Cleaver’s Tea when there isany indication of kidney or gall bladdertrouble.

ADRENAL GLAND

Your kidneys are extremelyvaluable organs which need watchingbecause they respond to the condition ofthe colon. Alcohol, even the minutevolumes in wines and beer, can playhavoc with the kidneys. A very dearfriend, who used to travel extensively inEurope, became accustomed to drinkingwine with his meals. He died of uremicpoisoning at the very early age of 56.The British, the Germans, as well as theAmericans—nations which are thegreatest consumers of beer—have themost serious and prolific kidneyafflictions of any people in the world,although Italians, French and Latinpeople come a close second.

Because of the very nature of the

excretions which pass through thekidneys, they are particularly susceptibleto infections. It will be well worth yourwhile to study carefully the chapter inthis book entitled Connective TissueAnd Vitamin C. The life it saves may beyour own!

Prevention is a far better principleto live by than to try to obtain a cure.Colon irrigations are the best first step.Wash out the colon, then go on fromthere.

The Urinary Bladder

The bladder is a slightly dilated

membranous sac. It is located inside the

pelvis and in front of the rectum. Thekidneys receive urine from two ureters,discharge it into the urethra and then intoan orifice closed by a muscular valve orsphincter.

Urine is the liquid excreta thrownoff by the body. In a healthy condition, itis a clear, transparent fluid of an ambercolor and has a peculiar odor. Itsaverage density is 1.02. The averageamount excreted in 24 hours is from 35to 50 ounces.

Chemically, urine is an aqueoussolution of urea, creatine and uric acid,together with some hippuric acid,calcium, chloride, magnesium,phosphate, potassium, sodium andsulphate ions, as well as some peculiar

pigments. It also should have an acidreaction. Normally it contains about96% water and 4% solid matter. Theaverage daily excretion of urine is about30 grams of urea, 1 to 2 grams ofcreatine, 0.75 grams of uric acid and16½ grams of salt. Abnormal urine maycontain sugar as in diabetes, albumin asin Bright’s disease, bile pigments as injaundice, and blood in injuries ordiseases of the kidneys or urinarypassages. In the many urinalyses wehave had done, the individuals habit ofmeat consumption was clearly indicatedby an abnormal quantity of uric acid. Itis obvious that the urinary bladderdeserves a great deal of respect, as it isour reservoir of liquid excreta which,

upon analysis, is likely to indicate theindividual’s eating, drinking and otherhabits. When having a urinalysis made,one should be sure of the honesty andintegrity of the analyst.

The proximity of the urinarybladder to the descending and transversecolons, and particularly to the sigmoidflexure and the rectum, renders itparticularly susceptible to anyabnormality in any part of the colon.This is a very important matter to bear inmind throughout life. Yearly series ofcolon irrigations have been ofinestimable value to uncountablenumbers of our students in the past. Onelovely couple — he is now in his 80’s— called on me this very week. They

were students in classes I gave morethan 35 years ago. Their children hadbeen brought up on the WalkerProgram, and they are proud of their sonwho, so far, is the only one in the state ofCalifornia to be given a certificate ofspecial merit for never having missed asingle day at school — from the first dayhe was registered as a child, rightthrough senior high and college. Doesthis not cause you to ponder on the lackof foresight in so many families who failto teach their children the value ofproper nutrition and of keeping theinside of their bodies cleansed? There isno substitute for health. Sickness anddisease all too frequently have theirbeginnings in the colon; keep it clean —

live healthy and longer.An analysis of the excreta from the

urinary bladder can readily indicate thecondition of the colon and of the body asa whole. We always keep one or tworolls of Nitrazine Paper tape which isreadily available at nearly every drugstore. Using about one inch of this tapeand letting some urine wet it, willindicate the acidity from 5 pH to 6,which is normally good, but when thecolor of it indicates from 6.5 pH orhigher, it indicates alkalinity. However,never judge by a single excretion, as theacid-alkaline reading is likely to changewithin an hour or two.

If you want an analysis of yourcondition go to a qualified health

practitioner, a chiropractor, anaturopathic physician or a therapist ingood standing. The ancient Romans hada motto: “Verbum sat sapientis,” whichin our language means: “A word to thewise is sufficient.”

Chapter 10.

Connective Tissue AndVitamin C

Colon irrigations are not by any

means a “cure-all.” Do not for oneminute think they are.

The waste matter naturallycollected in the colon and allowed toremain there longer than necessary is bynature subject to fermentation andputrefaction. It is this end-product ofneglecting to keep the colon clean thatproduces a fertile ground for thepropagation of pathogenic bacteria

which are the precursors of sickness anddisease.

As indicated on the Colon TherapyChart, various parts of the anatomy areresponsive to trouble caused by theaccumulation of waste matter in that partof the colon which is related to itsparticular part of the anatomy. There are,however, some structural factors whichmay contribute to one or manydisturbances which are entirelyunrelated to the colon. Consider, forinstance, the connective tissue system ofthe body. Connective tissues are thebond or cementing which anchors onebody cell to another, making a web or aframe present in every particle of thebody—the blood vessel walls, the nerve

sheathing, the walls of the lymphatics,etc. Connective tissue also holds thevarious organs and glands of the body intheir proper place. If the connectivetissue of the kidneys break down, wehave a floating kidney. When theconnective tissue of the womb breaksdown, we have a prolapsed womb. So itis throughout the whole body system.The connective tissues are of such vitalimportance to the body that when there isa weakening or a break down, troublefollows. A weakness of the wall tissuesof the blood vessels manifests itself inan aneurysm. It may also develop anulcer, and so on, almost ad infinitum.

The cleansing of the colon cannotremedy such disturbances of the

connective tissues because they are allabsolutely dependent on a constantsupply of ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acidis one of the substances which the bodydoes not produce or manufacture withinthe system; it must be obtained by thebody from the food with which it isnourished. Ascorbic acid is composedof molecules made up of 6 atoms ofcarbon, 8 atoms of hydrogen and 6 atomsof oxygen, which results in the formula,C6H8O6. Ascorbic acid is known asVitamin C and is present in varyingamounts in many fruits and vegetables.The richest source of ascorbic acidcomes from rose hips, from tree-ripenedgrapefruit, lemons and oranges, fromAcerola cherries, guavas, bell peppers,

pimento peppers, brussel sprouts,mustard greens, dandelions and turnipgreens. However, most fresh vegetablesand fruits have varying amounts ofVitamin C.

A deficiency of ascorbic acid canhave many adverse effects, such asfailure of wounds to heal and weakeningof bones, causing them to break easilyand fail to mend in a reasonable time.

Ascorbic acid is the means bywhich hydrogen is supplied to thedigestive processes to burn the food weeat. This causes the necessary supply ofcarbon to be produced which the bodyneeds to build the amino acids. It alsomaintains the availability of ascorbicacid in the system.

There are many ailments whichafflict human beings which are eitherdirectly or indirectly due to a deficiencyof ascorbic acid, or for which suchdeficiency is a contributing factor.

Taking everything intoconsideration, it is obvious that colonirrigations alone are not the completeanswer to one’s problems. It seemsessential that ascorbic acid has anequally important role. A constant, daily,fresh supply of ascorbic acid is needed.In order to be sure to obtain this, wemust consider our fresh vegetables andfruits — and their juices — an absolutemust if we expect to regain and tomaintain maximum health and to promotelongevity with the avoidance of senility.

I will grant that there are times andcircumstances when some ascorbic acidis needed in a hurry or an emergency. Insuch cases science comes to our aid,enabling us to obtain supplementarysupplies of ascorbic acid. Under suchcircumstances it would naturally befoolhardy not to take advantage of such acommodity. It is good to bear in mindthat synthetic products are never equal tothe natural, nor are they ever as efficientor effective.

Ascorbic acid is one substancewhich the body cannot do without. Thereis no danger of taking too much ascorbicacid daily, so long as we take it inamounts spread throughout the day.When the daily amount is reached which

the body needs and tolerates, Natureadvises us that there is an excess bycausing a mild case of diarrhea. It is thentime to gradually reduce the dose,causing the diarrhea to cease.

When we understand that the bodydoes not produce its own ascorbic acidto prevent damage and avoid afflictionsof the body, we will realize that it wouldbe very foolish to undertake prolongedfasts, extending beyond six or sevendays. Prolonged fasts will deprive thebody of foods which furnish ascorbicacid. Such deprivation can only result indegeneration of connective tissue, thusaffecting nerves and muscles. Afflictionsarising from this deprivation of suchfood may not materialize within months,

or even within years, but it usually haslong-range effects, such as conditions ofpremature senility, osteoporosis,Parkinson’s Disease and a score ofothers.

Chapter 11.

The Ghastly Result OfNeglecting The Colon

Your body is your own

responsibility!Do you know that today there are

more than one million people in theUnited States who, having failed to usecolon irrigations, have had their colonunnecessarily amputated or sections of itremoved? As long as they live, they willnever have any control whatever overtheir bowel elimination!

Would you like to be in that

predicament? Would you like to haveyour evacuation take place in a baghanging, day and night, on your waist? Ifby accident or carelessness the bottomof the bag should open up or leak, theghastly result is an embarrassing, filthymess all down your leg, your foot and onthe floor! It can happen! It has happened!

Let me ask you: Why do youcontinue to allow the 20, 30 or moreyears of corrupt feces and waste matteraccumulated in layers on the inside ofthe wall of your colon to remain there,when it can be gradually removed withadvantage and benefit to your health ingeneral? No sewage system of any kindis immune from trouble if material is putinto it which will eventually clog it up

somewhere along the line. If the colon isneglected, each passing year has itsravaging effect on the sewage system ofthe body. Watch your colon!

The accumulative putrefaction andfermentation which takes place in thecolon causes offensive odors to escapefrom the body through the pores of theskin. You may not notice — it and fewpeople do notice it on themselves—butothers can detect this offensiveemanation.

If your colon is still part of yourmidriff, thank your Creator for it. Praisethe Lord! If I were you, I would wasteno time and go get a colon irrigation.

As I have already stated, more thanone million people in our country have

failed to cleanse their colon withirrigations. They have developedstomach and colon trouble and wererushed to the hospital “for anexploratory operation.” When they cameout from under the anaesthetic theydiscovered, to their everlasting regretand consternation, that a section of theircolon had been removed, depriving themof any future control or normal functionof their bowels. This is called acolostomy. Henceforth, the waste matterand feces would flow into, and becollected in, a bag which they wouldhave to wear attached to their waist aslong as they occupied their physicalbody.

Such people cannot afford to

gamble on waiting until the bag is fullbefore emptying it because they have nocontrol over their evacuation. Anaccidental overflow would be tooembarrassing to describe, and it wouldcertainly never be forgotten — either bythe victim or the bystander. This bagmust be emptied, washed or replacedwhen little more than half-filled as longas they live. Ghastly!

What a haunting, frightful, hideousprospect for any self-respectingconstipated individual to contemplate!Wherever he or she is, wherever he orshe goes, that bag must constantly bethere, attached to the waist, emptiedwhen necessary, every day and night,year after year, until the mortician

removes it — permanently!Is a Colostomy necessary? No, it is

not necessary provided preventive stepsare taken in time. What are thesepreventive measures? Don’t just waituntil your colon is completely blocked.Even when it is blocked it can bewashed out by taking a series of colonirrigations.

We had a dear friend, an old lady,who was having trouble with her bowelmovements. She went to the hospital foran examination. While she was under theanaesthetic the surgeon amputated hercolon and performed a colostomy—without her knowledge and consent.Upon returning home she was aghast atwhat had been done to her. She prayed

and beseeched our Creator to take herout of this earthly life, which He didafter she suffered many weeks of mentalanguish.

Remember that a surgeon is trainedto cut and amputate. It is not within hisfield to wash out the colon, or have itdone. It is not surprising that nearly allthose who have been afflicted with acolostomy never knew what was in storefor them until they awakened from theoperation; then, to their chagrin, theyknew what a colostomy was.

Have you any idea of what acolostomy involves? The following, insubstance, is taken from instructionscontained in the Colostomy Manual. Iquote:

• “You will be coping withappliances from now on (therest of your life).

• The dismay over needing tocarry this bag for the rest ofyour life is something every‘Colostomate’ must overcome.(If we thought DISMAY wasnot a normal reaction, we’d bekidding our selves.)

• Discharge of the feces flows dayand night (without your beingable to control it) since there isno place except ‘the bag’ for itto go into.

• There are no voluntary musclesinvolved, so you cannot controlit.

• Question: ‘How can I get alongwithout that control?’ Answer:Thousands do!”

• Healing of the hole in the side,made by the surgeon,progresses for several weeksafter the operation.

• ‘Disposable bags’ means youcan use a new one everyday . . . but some go a day anda half and even longer betweenchanges.

• Anyone with sewing ability canalter a man’s or woman’sgarment to conceal thepresence of the bag.

• You may want to forego certain

foods in order to: preventblockage, to prevent a wateryor inconvenient discharge offecal matter, to avoid excessiveodor or gas.

• Without the colon, dehydrationand too great a loss of sodiumis likely. Call your doctor incase diarrhea bothers you.

• Thirst will afflict you. Liquidsare Nature’s way tocompensate for the loss of thewater-absorbing colon.

• Twin concerns are ODORS andGAS! Occasional odor is‘normal’.”

Study the foregoing. I have takenthis from the Colostomy Manual which

is published by the manufacturers of “thebag.”

What is the expense involved in acolostomy? More than one millionvictims (Colostomates) spent more thantwo billion dollars for surgery andconvalescence; but that is just thebeginning.

The special bags cost presentlyfrom $70 to $125 for 30 bags. If youwere to use one bag a day (which manymust) the cost would be from about$850.00 to $1500.00 a year, as long asyou live. You won’t be able to goanywhere unless you have a supply ofbags to take with you. The likelihood ofnot being able to get bags would create anightmare.

Don’t risk a colostomy. It is not

worth it. Keep your enema outfit handy,and don’t hesitate to use it (see my bookBecome Younger). Don’t let distancesprevent having colon irrigations whennecessary. It’s your own body, and youare responsible for it.

Let this ghastly spectre of acolostomy, having a bag half-filled withfilthy feces hang at your waist day andnight, remind you that any advice orrecommendation to avoid a colonirrigation is utterly false, misleading andabsolutely devoid of basis in fact or incommon sense. I shall maintain to mydying day that any person who opposes,censures or raves against cleansing the

colon by this means, is afflicted withwhat the ancient Romans classified as“Non Compos Mentis.” Obviously suchpeople do not differentiate between theclean and the filthy. It is through suchlack of perception that more than onemillion people today defecate withoutany voluntary control whatever into thatfilthy bag which they have to empty byhand and clean out or replace, everysingle day as long as they live.

Be prudent. Be wise. It is better toprevent what you cannot cure. Don’t takemy word for it. Prove it yourself bytaking a number of colonies. My ownlife will not be affected in the least bywhat you do or don’t do.

BUT the life it may save may be

your own.

Become Younger

BECOME YOUNGER might be

called the “cornerstone” of the famousWalker Program. What place hasnutrition in the scheme of good health?How can the body and mind be so tunedthat “old age” might be defeated? Dr.Walker suggests “When we embark onthis program which may change oureating, drinking and living habits, wemust have the courage of our convictionsbased on the knowledge which we canacquire through the principles involvedin this program . . . To “becomeyounger” means to have attained a state

of sublime self-reliance and self-sufficiency which no one can take awayfrom us.”

Colon Health

In COLON HEALTH Dr. Walker

will take this forgotten part of your bodyand focus your full attention on it-andyou’ll never again take it for granted!This book shows how every organ,gland and cell in your body is affectedby the condition of the large intestine thecolon. COLON HEALTH answers suchquestions as: Are cathartics andlaxatives dangerous? - Can colon careprevent heart attack? - Is your eyesightaffected by the condition of your colon?- What are the ghastly results of a

colostomy?

Diet & Salad

The pitfalls of overindulgence in

certain food elements, especially oil andsugar, have been well documented. Dr.Walker offers in his book DIET &SALAD both a cookbook and anutritional guide that belongs in everykitchen. In it he supports current medicalresearch about the harmful effects ofmilk- “It is generally assumed that cow’smilk is one of our most perfectfoods . . . Milk is the most mucusforming food in the human diet, and it isthe most insidious cause of colds, flu,

bronchial troubles, asthma, hay fever,pneumonia, and sinus trouble . . . cow’smilk was never intended for a humaninfant.”

Fresh Vegetable and FruitJuices

In FRESH VEGETABLE AND

FRUIT JUICES, R. D. Pope, M.D.,writes - “Dr. Walker has, for the firsttime in history, written a complete guideof the Therapeutic uses of our morecommon, everyday vegetables, whentaken in the form of fresh, raw juices. Itwill be of considerable help to thosewho wish to derive the utmost benefitfrom the natural foods which Godcreated for the nourishment of Man.” Dr.

Walker categorically lists vegetablejuices, explains their elements, and incooperation with Dr. Pope, providessuggestions for effective treatment ofspecial ailments.

Vibrant Health

PROPER NUTRITION IS

TANTAMOUNT TO GOOD HEALTH.One man today is walking proof of allthis. Dr. NORMAN W. WALKER, aliving example of VIBRANT HEALTH,has had the answer since 1910. Hisinformation is timeless. The originatorof “juice therapy,” he made thisstatement in the preface to one of hisbooks: “The lack or deficiency ofcertain elements, such as vital organicminerals and salts, and consequently ofvitamins, from our customary diet is the

primary cause of nearly every sicknessand disease.” For three quarters of acentury MEDICAL EVIDENCE HASNOT REFUTED HIM.

Water Can Undermine YourHealth

Dr. Walker sees water pollution as a

cause of arthritis, varicose veins, cancer,and even heart attacks- a major problemin virtually every community in thecountry. His treatment of water pollutionis revealing, comprehensive, andscientific. His findings, and hisrecommendations for corrective action,offer new hope.
