As far as physical health have you ever noticed that you have to go out of your way, at increased expense, to buy food that isn’t poisoned with additives and hormones and preservatives, [as well as] grotesque levels of fat and sugar; that the idea of good health is almost a bad word, [that] it’s almost held in contempt by industry? I’m always amused when I go to a store and I see things like ‘green,’ or ‘natural,’ or ‘organic,’ as though there EVER should have been anything else produced. They might as well just put ‘less poisonous’, ‘more poisonous’, [or] ‘really poisonous’.
If you treat, you can’t cure.
Try to keep yourself always open, fresh and learnable, and not solidified in thought-forms and idealisms that really don’t matter anyway.
We assume 80 and 90 [years of age] is longevity. I don’t at all.
Don’t put anything on your hair, ladies, that you don’t want [there] and that you can’t eat. If you can’t eat your makeup or you can’t eat your hair products, then don’t put them on your skin. Whatever you put on your skin, you’ll eat. It’s just a slower ingestion, but you’re still ingesting it [into the body].
The person who takes medicine must recover twice. Once from the disease and once from the medicine.
The lymph is the most refined, the most rarefied, the most intimate of the body juices. I dare say you had an inkling of the fact in your mind when you asked.
People talk about the blood, and the mysteries of its composition, and what an extraordinary fluid it is. But it is the lymph that is the juice of juices, the very essence, you understand, ichor, blood-milk, crème de la crème; as a matter of fact, after a fatty diet it does look like milk.
Why would a patient swallow a poison because he is ill, or take that which would make a well man sick?
[…] that’s what people don’t realize: when your body starts going into an alkaline, energetic state, your body starts getting rid of those things that are weak or broken down. That is common, that will always be, and people have to get used to that. You’re not losing what’s healthy, you’re losing what wasn’t healthy. Your body doesn’t throw away healthy tissue. Anybody that thinks that [it does] is ridiculous, [for] it just doesn’t happen unless you’re passed that point of no return.
Why must we accept as normal what we find in a race of sick and weakened human beings? Must we always take it for granted that the present eating practices of civilized men are normal? …Foul stools, loose stools, impacted stools, pebbly stools, much foul gas, colitis, hemorrhoids, bleeding with stools, the need for toilet paper are swept into the orbit of the normal.
What hope is there for medical science to ever become a true science when the entire structure of medical knowledge is built around the idea that there is an entity called disease which can be expelled when the right drug is found?
In fact, I want to label it a little bit further. Let’s call it ‘the foundation of health’; truly, the foundation of health. I know we learn a lot of things about health; a lot of wonderful things here, in this convention, about health. And it’s impossible for one man to cover all the avenues of health.
But tonight, I humbly and sincerely believe that we are going to be learning about what is truly the foundation of health. Sometimes, we read some things, and don’t know whether to come ‘this way’ or go ‘that way,’ whether to believe ‘this’ or ‘that,’ and it may be because we don’t have a solid foundation of which to lay it.
Well, if we can dig down and hit rock bottom and find something solid, something that we can understand and put our teeth into and say, ‘I’ve got this! It makes sense, I understand it,’ this is what the lymphatic system becomes to you.
Believe me, any time you step on this earth and try to do something good, don’t expect it to happen without somebody coming up and ridiculing or criticising you or whatever it may take. You have to have the understanding and faith to stand strong as Noah did.
I’ve heard of divine healing; it’s good stuff. But you notice that people seem to get their problems back in time, and I just think ‘You know what? Grab the bull by the horns and realize you’re just as much a part of the divinity as everyone else and that you want to heal the right way – you want to follow the laws of nature and the laws of God, because you’re a divine being.’ And in following that, you feel good on all levels. And I feel that if you’re sitting there waiting for a divine healing, I wouldn’t [do that], I would [instead] grab the reigns of life by my hands and go forth and BE THE GOD YOU ARE. That’s the true healer. You are the healer AND the healing.
Health is what you eat, what you drink, what you breathe, what you think, what you feel – but also – more of what you are.
We teach each other by experience.
There are only two sides to chemistry; pick one.
We all disagree in biochemistry.
No matter where you go, you’re always there.
Remember, the action of fruit is so much more aggressive; they’re more magnetic; [and] they’re more astringent. People mistaken that for [fruit] being bad for them.
Always seek truth. Open your heart totally to God. If you desire anything, desire God. All else will come to you. Always be and give love. Become alive again (in all your bodies) physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
You learned that I use partly cooked food during the transition diet and in the beginning the vegetables prevail.
This has for its purpose the slowing down of the elimination, for it is well known that people can stand a stewed or baked fruit whereas they cannot stand the same kind when fresh. Vital food is not the entire object to be gained at first but rather their property to dissolve and to eliminate.
This vital healing efficiency is most perfect in all kinds of fresh fruits and will be found to be too aggressive for the majority of patients. This is undoubtedly the cause of the wrong ideas and reason for the ‘fruit fast’ being in ill repute, and it is the same reason why I use stewed and baked fruits in the beginning to slow down the elimination.
[Not] until you fix digestion, absorption, [and] utilization, can you ever assume [that you have a nutritional] deficiency.
Don’t come to me with book knowledge.
Be cautious with having belief systems, because belief systems limit you.
Another important rule, when eating for health, is SIMPLICITY; in other words do not mix too many kinds of food at one meal. Count the different number of items in the average meal of today [even moreso in the 21st century] and the total will startle you.
[…] I feel, though, that you have to physically get into the body to remove physical chemistry. There are some things you’ve got to do physically; you can’t just expect higher levels to filtrate the lower levels and make a change, because every level is of its own.
The necessity of teaching mankind not to take drugs and medicines , is a duty incumbent upon all who know their uncertainty and injurious effects; and the time is not far distant when the drug system will be abandoned.
Some of you guys were thrown into the darkness, because you are strong, you can produce the light and you can give the light out, so don’t feel alone, change it around and realize that God put you there to be the light bearer, to be the light giver. So become the light, become conscious, become consciousness.
Our biggest problem is [that] we live to eat; we’ve gotta change that.
