Mikhail Tombak 3u2e56

Mikhail Tombak, Ph.D. graduated from the faculty of biology and chemistry of the Russian University. For many years he was the head of Center for Health Sciences in Moscow; also the author of several bestsellers on the subject of health and healing. Suffering from many ailments, and almost crippled at his childhood, Mr. Tombak extensively studied Tibetan, Chinese and other Oriental alternative medicines, often experimenting on his own body, to become one of the world greatest authorities on health, longevity, and human body in general. Fragments of an interview with Mikhail Tombak, Ph.D. conducted by Bohdan Gadomski of ANGORA weekly. You promote a healthy lifestyle. Have you always been healthy yourself? I had once liver cirrhosis, caused by improper nutrition istered by my mother-physician. During my childhood, I frequently suffered from constipation. Spinal injuries caused me to lose sensation in my lower limbs for two years. According to doctors, I had no chance to walk again. Why did you choose biology and not medicine as your area of study? I come from a medical family. As a child, I asked my mother why she was not able to cure my ill father and why she was suffering from heartaches and insomnia. When I did not get an answer, I understood that medicine concerns itself only with the application of drugs. Biology is a much more comprehensive science that allows inquiring about every little detail of human body. This is why I chose biology, even though my mother wished me to study medicine. I would like to know where and how you gained knowledge that you have started sharing with other people? During my university years, I took part in a scientific expedition to the Far East where I met with Tibetan monks. Their approach to the human body is different and very interesting. I learned some secrets from them that allow diagnosing of disorders from the way people look, walk, or even wear out their shoes. I also became convinced that it is never just a single organ that is ill in a human body. When something causes us pain and we start treating it, we are fighting symptoms and do not address causes. This is why the problem can manifest itself in some other place, causing pain associated with a completely different disease. I do not treat diseases as something concrete. They are just irregularities in our body’s normal functioning. What causes most damage to our health? There are several factors: incorrect breathing, improper eating and drinking, not enough exercise and joy of life, and also such emotions as envy, greed, or anger. We constantly have problems and dilemmas and this significantly shortens our life. To my readers:( from " Can We Live 150 Years?") I would like to turn your attention to the fact that we know very little about our body and its close relationship with the natural environment. Our future life often depends on the method of treatment we choose in a case of a health crisis. In cases when mainstream medicine cannot offer any help, we should that there are natural therapies that can prove themselves very effective.

I am deeply convinced that we should be our own advisor and doctor in many situations. We need to attain enough knowledge about the way our body functions to be capable of eliminating the causes of our illness and suffering. If, as a result of my advice, some people start feeling better, some get cured, and some realize the necessity of health maintenance, the objective of this book will be fulfilled. I have tried many methods and remedies in my practice and selected those, which are indeed valuable and effective. They are presented here for you to explore. Please use them wisely. I wish you good health, Mikhail Tombak Mikhail Tombak, Ph.D. graduated from the faculty of biology and chemistry of the Russian University.

Much has been written lately about ways to attain long and healthy life. Numerous miracle diets are presented, formulas are praised for their extraordinary qualities, weight-reduction and agingreversal methods are d. People are led to believe that good health may be the result of taking a miraculous pill. In reality, return to full health requires many years of effort, just as our diseases are caused by many years of neglect. Full health does not depend on miraculous medication and formulas that cause weight loss or aging reversal, but on the lifestyle that is in harmony with nature. This philosophy permeates the contents of this book. The author of this book, Mikhail Tombak, created a holistic system of maintaining good health. Before you medicate, educate yourself! The book does not contain miraculous diets; it contains simple principles maintaining protecting our health. There is no requirement of strict calorie counting but there are simple, obvious, and natural nutritional principles. The author emphasizes a close connection between our health and the way we eat, breathe, and take care of all our physical and psychological needs. The question is not limited only to nutrition as is the case with many dieting programs. This book is intended to be a practical health maintenance guide. If you feel that your health has begun deteriorating, waste no time - start acting quickly

and take better care of yourself. The sooner you start acting the speedier your health will be restored! It is important to make gradual lifestyle changes and allow your body enough time for adjustment. This toolbox of simple guidelines enables thousands of readers every day to live healthier, and more fulfilling lives. Let this book be your guide to anti aging, longevity, vibrant health, and overall wellbeing. $QWLDJLQJ/RQJHYLW\ +RZ&DQ:H'HOD\$JLQJ" Our body works according to a blueprint provided by nature; nevertheless the number of years we live on this planet depends largely on our daily attitude towards our body’s maintenance. We do not want to age and watch new wrinkles showing up on our body and face with resentment. Not many of us fully realize that the image in the mirror is a reflection of our lifestyle. No matter how much we try to cover up our aging with expensive creams and other modern cosmetics, the real condition of our body still becomes apparent. Wrinkles, skin spots, the brightness of our eyes and the shine of our hair, the condition of our nails, and the way we walk or even write reflect the condition of our internal organs. For example, people with an ulcerated stomach or duodenum hunch their back, look pale on their face, and have brown shading under the eyes - typical symptoms of anemia. Another sign of ulceration process in the digestive tract is a white-looking tip of the nose. A deep vertical wrinkle between eyebrows can be connected with frequent strong headaches and the body’s demand for more fresh air. Everything that is happening inside our body manifests itself clearly on the outside. People who live long in different parts of the world explain their longevity by good physical condition and deep, cleansing breathing. It has been proven that we can extend our age by 10-20 years by a healthy diet; however, correct breathing can help extend it by 30-40 years. Correct breathing is the assurance of good health and longevity. I reveal secrets of different breathing methods in the chapter Breath of Life.

The extract cleans accumulated fat out of the body, rinses out insoluble calcium, radically improves metabolism, cleanses blood vessels, prevents heart attacks, arteriosclerosis, and paralysis, removes the sensation of buzzing from the head, improves sight, and regenerates the entire body. Preparation of the elixir of youth page 91-92 Did you know? Scientists Bet 500 million dollars On 150-Year Lifespan S. Jay Olshansky, renowned biodemographer and professor of biostatistics in the University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health, bet Steven Austad, University of Idaho, $500 million dollars on the subject. If, by

Jan. 1, 2150, it can be documented that someone has reached the age of 150 or more, about $500 million will go to the heirs of Austad. If it cannot be documented that someone has lived 150 years by that date, the money will go to Olshansky's heirs. :HLJKW/RVV Obese people trying to lose weight make often two fundamental mistakes: • •

First - Dieting for only a period of time during which only low-calorie foods are consumed. (In fact, the word "diet" means in Greek "lifestyle", not a period of time.) Second - Trying to lose as many pounds as possible in a short time.

There is no quick way – if we have been gaining weight for some years, it has to take time (two to three months) to turn this process around and set our body on the weight-reduction course. Victor Hugo said that people couldn’t achieve what they do not understand. To apply this rule to obesity, we cannot lose weight unless we understand what leads us to obesity. %DGKDELWVWKDWOHDGSHRSOHWRREHVLW\ Please pay close attention to the following list of bad habits that are largely responsible for leading people to obesity and try to eliminate these habits from your everyday life. You will be pleasantly surprised by the results. Only your name will remind you of the obese person you once were. •

The habit of eating fast and not chewing the food well causes poor digestion and the formation of fat layers in our body. Chew each bite at least fifty times – chewing is not a very demanding activity. Drinking fluids at meals causes irregularities in the functioning of your digestive and hormonal systems. When you drink at meals, even water makes you fat. Drink at least twenty minutes before a meal or one to one and a half hours after a meal. Eating sweet baked goods causes the absorbing walls of your digestive tract to be plugged up by starch and promotes the production of excess amounts of mucus in our body. Moreover, sweets promote weight gain. It is better to treat yourself to dried fruits, seeds (sunflower, pumpkin), and moderate amounts of nuts. The habit of frequent snacking or constant chewing puts to much stress on certain systems in our body and takes them away from other important activities. As soon as anything gets into our mouth, the tongue (acting as the taste organ) sends a signal to our brain and immediately many mechanisms are engaged. Among them, just in case, is our body’s defense mechanism (the tongue does not provide full information about what it is that entered the mouth). Leukocytes have to leave their task of cleaning up and curing the body and they quickly gather around the stomach, where the content from the mouth is soon expected. When it is determined that no danger exists and leukocytes are not needed, they go back to their abandoned tasks. If there is another portion of food soon after, the whole process is repeated. As a result of being constantly overworked, leukocytes cannot do a good job at defending our body. This is why people who are used to frequent snacking are the first to get ill when there is, for example, a flu epidemic. Another problem created by constant snacking is the weakening of digestive enzymes produced by our body. Weaker enzymes mean incomplete digestion and the production of fat instead of water and carbon dioxide (by the way, chewing gum produces the same negative results). Incorrect combining of food products makes digestion difficult and weakens the digestive mechanisms, because different foods need different digestive enzymes. Incorrect combining causes some food to putrefy and some to be turned into fat. Lying down after meals activates mechanisms that normally function in sleep and takes the focus away from digestion. Undigested food is turned into fat. If possible do some

walking on your heels after a meal to increase blood supply to the stomach and to improve digestion. Sitting lifestyle does not use much energy and our body does not have the opportunity to use up its fat deposits. We should perform at least 1000 different energetic movements a day to increase the energy use. The habit of eating while watching TV takes away the intimacy of our meals. Ancient dieticians advised that we should be "deaf and mute" at our meals. If we eat while watching TV, our brain gets confused – it has to process the information coming from the screen and to direct the digestive process at the same time. This interferes with our digestion and causes overeating. Eating while irritated is another bad habit that causes us to forget moderation. Never eat under stress! Our liver reacts to stress first and the bile tubes become narrow. Bile does not get to our small intestine and food is not digested. Eating before bedtime or at night is harmful because in sleep, all processes in our body are directed towards the rebuilding of cells and the rejuvenation of our entire body. The digestive organs do not have the necessary energy to process food at night. Eating at night gives us nothing but fat, liver stones, and kidney stones. The habit of eating mostly refined and cooked food products makes us deficient in natural vitamins and microelements. We only get empty calories from these products; they do not have much nutritional value. Even if we eat large amounts, we still feel hungry and want to eat more. This way we end up eating five to ten times more than we should.

When we lose the ability to properly process and absorb the food we eat, our body starts storing fat around our hips, thighs, belly, neck, etc. The psychological causes are more complicated. Most importantly, we have to understand that obesity is a disease and there is no excuse for tolerating it. Did you know? - Obesity is still on the rise. Results from the 1999-2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), using measured heights and weights, indicate that an estimated 64 percent of U.S. adults are either overweight or obese. The number is at the highest level ever recorded. •

•

31%, or about 59 million adults older than 20, are obese. Obese is defined as 30 or more pounds over a healthy body weight; overweight is roughly 10 to 30 pounds over a healthy weight. 33% of adult women are obese, compared with 28% of men. 50% of black women are obese compared with 40% of Mexican-American women and 30% of white women. (The survey doesn't have a category for all Hispanics.) There is virtually no difference in obesity among men based on race. About 15% of children ages 6 to 19, or about 9 million children, are overweight.

This information was obtained from: Department of Health and Human Services Press Release, October 8, 2002. Available online at: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/releases/02news/obesityonrise.htm One-quarter of what you eat keeps you alive. The other three-quarters keeps your doctor alive. (Hieroglyph found in an ancient Egyptian tomb.) +HDOWK\(DWLQJ 3URSHUO\&RPELQHG)RRGV Plants and animals living on our planet offer us a huge variety of foods. The fundamental question is how to choose products that are really essential for our body. One of our most common and serious misconceptions is the idea that combining many different products in our meals helps us maintain good health. It is also a common belief that meals rich in animal

proteins are nutritious. Ironically, this kind of food is often the source of our discomfort and illness. For example, our meal often consists of a soup, steak, fries, and a sweet beverage, fruit or some other dessert. As we know, all of these products require different digestion times and different digestive juices. They create a mixture that is hard to digest and our stomach does not know where to start. Fruits start decomposing in the stomach and produce poisons such as alcohols and acetic acid. The combination of meat and potatoes produces solanine - a highly toxic substance. It all happens in our stomach, where it is humid and warm. It is no surprise that such meal causes gas, stomach pain, and the feeling of heaviness in our entire body. We often behave as if our stomach was a bag able to accept everything thrown into it. In reality, that bag becomes ill and weak. Our body starts resembling a time bomb that is going to explode by the time we are fifty and may cause the following health problems: heart disease, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, blood clots, asthma, allergies, digestive system disorders, hormonal disorders (females), and impotency (males). To avoid all these health problems, we should carefully analyze mistakes we make in preparing our meals. Food products can be divided into the following groups: proteins, carbohydrates, fats, fruits and vegetables. The principles of combining these food groups are described below. 7DEOH&RPELQLQJIRRGSURGXFWV PROTEIN RICH FOODS Meat and meat soups, fish, eggs, eggplant, beans, Windsor beans, nuts, sunflower seeds, plain yogurt, kefir, cottage cheese, buttermilk

FATS AND "LIVE" PRODUCTS Grease, butter, vegetable oil, fruits (raw or dried), vegetables (raw or dried, except potatoes), fruit and vegetable juices. It is better to always consume milk, dry wine, melon and banana separately from other products

CARBOHYDRATE FOODS Breads and other flour based products, grains, potatoes, sugar, honey, products containing sugar, pasta, jams, candies

Foods in the middle column can be combined with either protein foods in the first or carbohydrate foods in the third column, but foods in the first and the third columns should never be combined. These rules for combining foods may be hard to accept for some people, because they are used to eating meat with bread, buns, potatoes, or rice. If you try observing the rules for just one week, you will notice that you eat less and have a lot of energy. You will require less sleep to feel well rested. Your mood will be balanced, and you will feel calmer. The rules for combining food products are not complicated. It is a good idea to pay attention to them. The principles of eating protein rich foods •

•

If you combine proteins with fats (e.g. meat fried in vegetable oil), always eat plenty of vegetables. Large amounts of vegetables prevent fats from impeding the digestion of proteins. It is better to eat only one kind of protein food at a meal - e.g. only meat or only fish or only peas.

We hear from our childhood about external body hygiene, but we know little about internal hygiene. However, the condition of our internal organs determines much of our external appearance. Complete body cleansing is absolutely necessary if we want to have a harmoniously functioning body that is free of internal contamination. Each stage of the cleansing procedure will bring us observable results. • • • • •

The cleansing of our large intestine (colon) will stop bloating, constipation, and heartburn. Clean liver brings us better digestion, improved memory, healthy-looking eyes, shiny hair, younger looks, more energy, strength, and endurance. After the cleansing of our kidneys the bags under the eyes disappear, blood pressure stabilizes, and abdominal pains stop. Clean ts (free of salty deposits) have a wider range of motion, better flexibility, and do not react to weather changes. Clean lymph and blood vessels prevent us from infections, heart attacks, strokes, varicose veins, and many other disorders.

We like the look of our home after renovations. A clean garment feels good; our car with a brand new paint job is pleasant to the eye. However, none of these feelings come close to the way we feel when our body is completely cleansed. If you decide to take this step, you will feel as if you received a brand new body. All methodes and cleansing procedures ( colon cleansing, liver cleansing, kidney cleansing, bone and t cleansing, lymph and blood cleansing, circulatory system cleansing) are decribed in details on pages 177-210 Internal makeover is as important as external makeover. 3URYHQ5XVVLDQDQG7LEHWDQ5HPHGLHVWR7UHDW

Constipation, bloating, eczemas, pimples, allergies, black stains on the teeth, gray coating on the tongue, unpleasant skin smell and sweating. These are all symptoms of an unclean colon: Useful advice: • • • • •

Limit your consumption of meat, chocolate, sweets, sugar, cow milk, eggs, and white bread. Drink one cup of kefir every morning and evening. Chew your food thoroughly (each bite 35-50 times). Do not drink during meals. Drink less coffee and tea.

You can test the functioning of your large intestine the following way: Drink two tablespoons of freshly squeezed beet juice. If after four hours your urine becomes red, your large intestine is not functioning properly. +RZWRFOHDQ\RXUFRORQ a) Enemas Your motivation can be provided by the desire to get rid of stagnant deposits that cause many health problems. Second, you must follow the prescribed routine in detail to avoid harming yourself and to achieve maximum benefits.(detailed procedures described on pages 183-186) For those who find the procedure unacceptable because of its nature, I would like to present a few alternative methods of colon cleansing. You should , however, that they are not as effective as enema. b)Using kefir, apple juice, and vegetable salads to cleanse your colon - page 186 c)Using fruits to cleanse your colon - page 187 Many ill people still fear the irrigation procedure and want to use laxatives for intestinal cleansing. I definitely discourage the use of laxatives. They dry up the intestines and cause dehydration of our entire body. Our large intestine’s muscles should be made to work. Laxatives cause the emptying of the intestine without engaging the muscle tissue, which leads to its weakening. Weak intestinal muscles, in turn, cause chronic constipation. Enema, in contrast, stimulates and normalizes our large intestine’s function. People who went through a series of enemas do not suffer from constipation. To bring the expected results, all cleansing routines have to be done in the appropriate order. +HPRUUKRLGVKDHPRUUKRLGV V\PSWRPVDQGWUHDWPHQW Suffering from hemorrhoids brings you a step closer to becoming ill with colon cancer. 6XUJLFDOUHPRYDORIKHPRUUKRLGVEHQHILWVHYHU\ERG\LQYROYHGH[FHSWWKH SDWLHQW As a rule, hemorrhoids show up again after some time because the surgery does not remove their causes. Hemorrhoids (dilated veins in the lower part of the large intestine) usually happen to people who habitually consume large amounts of bread, sweets, coffee, tea, and all kinds of sandwiches with bread and deli products.

Hemorrhoids are, among others, a sign of inefficient circulatory system, inflexible blood vessels and veins, and thickness of blood caused by deficiency in natural minerals found in vegetables and fruits. of your anus with cold surfaces can also be a cause of hemorrhoids. Women often get hemorrhoids after child delivery and resulting dislocation of lumbar vertebrae. A likely cause of hemorrhoids in men can be a large body mass, especially a conspicuous belly. Another major factor is a sedentary lifestyle leading to constipation and eventually hemorrhoids. 7UHDWPHQWRIKHPRUUKRLGV • • • •

Lead a more active lifestyle. In particular, exercise muscles in the lower part of your body. Limit the consumption of sweets, bread, tea, and coffee. Eat more raw or cooked vegetables and fruits. Prevent constipation by cleansing your large intestine. Build up healthy intestinal microflora (see page 188). Learn to eat slowly and do not drink at your meals. This is a fundamental rule for good functioning of your digestive system, especially your large intestine.

Hemorrhoids (haemorrhoids) - synonyms and related keywords: ulcerative colitis, piles, hemorrhoidectomy, inflammatory bowel disease, hemorrhoidal problems, constipation, anorectal varices, perianal pain, thrombosed hemorrhoid, internal hemorrhoid, enlarged hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoid %DJVXQGHUWKHH\HV The condition of our internal organs determines much of our external appearance. %DJVXQGHUWKHH\HVZKLWHVSRWVRQWKHQDLOVPRLVWSDOPVDUHH[WHUQDO V\PSWRPVRIXQFOHDQNLGQH\V Bags under the eyes are a symptom of excess fluids or fat deposits in the kidneys. If the bags are soft, the fluid intake is too high. Hard bags under the eyes mean too high consumption of fat dairy products, animal fats and fatty meat, and sweets. Red eyelids signal the formation of kidney stones. Some causes of poor kidney function: • • •

Accumulation of mucus and the formation of stones Widening of kidneys due to high fluid intake Shrinking of kidneys as a result of excessive consumption of salt, meat, fish, breads, sweets, flour-based and refined products

With well-functioning kidneys, we urinate 3-4 times a day. If urination is more frequent, we should limit our fluid intake. The color of urine should resemble light beer. Very light coloring means we need more salt; if the color is too dark, we should limit our salt intake. Another sign that the salt intake is too high is dark brown rings around the eyes. In such a case, we have to eliminate salt from our diet and use other kinds of seasoning (dried garlic, parsley, etc.). Out of many available kidney-cleansing methods, I am going to describe four most effective ones. Please choose one that suits you best. Read more on pages 200-201 2VWHRSRURVLVFDXVHVDQGKRZWRILJKWLW

Two forms of calcium There are two forms of calcium in our food products. Good, organic calcium that is easily absorbed into our bones is found in vegetables, fruits (especially the peel), freshly squeezed juices, eggs, bran, wheat and oat sprouts, nuts, honey, and fresh cow or goat milk. Bad, nonorganic, hard to absorb form of calcium is contained in all refined products, bread, pasteurized or cooked milk and their products, boiled water; all products processed in temperatures over 212F/100C (cooked, fried, etc.), and synthetically produced calcium formulas. If our diet consists mainly of refined food products, pasteurized or boiled milk, crunchy bread, cooked or fried products, and if the water we use is usually boiled (this is true for most people), it is obvious why our bones are so often affected by osteoporosis. The causes of calcium deficiency Among the different elements in our body, the amount of calcium is the fifth after the four basic elements: carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen. On the average, there is about 2.6lb (1.2kg) of calcium in a human body and 99% of this amount is contained in the bones. Besides ing our body (keeping in the vertical position), the bone tissue has the function of storing calcium and phosphorus, so that the body can have an emergency supply of these elements when it does not get an adequate amount from the food we eat. The level of calcium in blood is at a constant level – even in the last stages of osteoporosis the blood can maintain 99.9% of the required level by taking calcium from the bones. If our blood has to take calcium from the bones day after day, the bone mass starts diminishing. It is known that products such as meat, cheese, sugar, and animal fats produce large amounts of harmful acids (lactic, oxalic, uric, and other) when they are digested. Calcium salts are used to neutralize these acids and protect our body from poisoning. The more of these products we eat the less calcium is left in our bones. One of the main causes of calcium deficiency is high consumption of sugar and products containing sugar. It is a synthetic product and its digestion results in many poisonous acids in our body. Huge amounts of mineral salts containing mostly calcium are needed to neutralize these acids. Where are they taken from? They are taken from our bones and teeth, where they are present in the highest concentration. Considering the fact that we develop a taste for sweets from early childhood and even adults consume every day hundreds of times more sugar than the safe amount, it is obvious why children suffer from tooth decay, adults from gum disease, and the bones of the elderly are as porous as Swiss cheese (osteoporosis). In conclusion, one of the main causes of osteoporosis is excessive liking for sweets ed down from generation to generation. I often hear parents say: “How can I refuse my child a candy. Childhood should be sweet.” I would advise parents to think more about providing a healthy and happy childhood for their offspring. When the children grow old, pleasures of their sweet childhood may cost them years of suffering from bone and spine pains. Another cause of osteoporosis is lack of physical exercise. I have covered the topic of exercise before. I can only add here that the less time we spend being physically active the higher our risk of becoming ill with osteoporosis. 7KHPRVWOLNHO\IDFWRUVFRQWULEXWLQJWRWKHULVNRIRVWHRSRURVLVEDVHGRQ WKHREVHUYDWLRQRISDWLHQWVLQFOXGLQJWKRVHZKRJRWFXUHG DUHWKH IROORZLQJ 1. 2. 3. 4.

This would mean you are sure to become ill with osteoporosis or you are ill already without knowing about it. What you have to do now is to eliminate all these factors from your lifestyle. If you already need a therapy, the most effective ones are:

Freckles, brown moles, and warts on the skin Cold and moist skin on the body and hands Yellow stains on the bottom of the tongue Brown stains around hair roots These are all external symptoms of an unclean liver.

The liver is one of our most important internal organs. It is our body’s "chemical laboratory", and its functioning influences the condition of our heart, circulatory system, digestive organs, kidneys, brain, and lymphatic system; it also influences our psychological wellbeing. Causes of poor liver function: • • • • • •

Excessive consumption of food and fluids Too much sugar, sweets, fruits, and alcohol Too much animal fat, fatty meat, and vegetable oil in the diet Eating mainly cooked and refined food products Too much fresh bread and other flour-based products Habit of eating before bedtime or at night

Most people who eat improperly combined meals have their liver partially filled with stones, particles of cholesterol and bilirubin (waste from the breakdown of red blood cells that were not removed from the body for various reasons) as early as at the age of five. There are many formulas that can improve the functioning of our liver, but none of them brings results that would be as obvious as the results of a cleansing procedure.

People who had been suffering from gallstones for more than ten years and were supposed to go through a surgery took care of the problem once and for all by cleansing their liver. There was no need for the surgery anymore. Everybody’s liver has this kind of filth in it, and the amount increases when we get older. Getting rid of it makes us feel lighter and rejuvenates our entire body. Liver cleansing is as natural and necessary as periodic cleaning of your home.

Physical exercise Let’s analyze each of these methods. 1. Slimming formulas.Various weight-reducing pharmaceutical formulas are recently very popular. These formulas only bring temporary weight-reducing effects. In most cases, the positive effects disappear two to three months after quitting the formula. What is left is indescribable damage to our body, especially our liver, stomach, pancreas, and circulatory system. The formulas cause dehydration in our body, change the composition of our blood and make it thicker, increase our body’s acidity (harmful!), etc. – the negative effects are not fully predictable. The therapies rely on artificial formulas to do the job without any psychological involvement of the patient. Our individuality deserves more appreciation – our bodies are different from one another and they have certain unique features. This is why we all have to find an individual method to keep our body in a healthy shape; a method based on our body’s unique physiology and not on mass-marketed formulas. The process of losing excess weight ought to be directed by our own mind. We want to lose excess pounds in order to improve our health, not to open the door for illness. Read more on page 53 :KDWLVD'LVHDVH" (The following segment does not apply to genetic diseases.) There are volumes of medical books about diseases; millions of doctors and scientists try to explore their mysteries. Nobody is able to provide answers about the origin of diseases, probably because diseases as such do not have their own existence. What we call a disease is our body’s reaction to something that interferes with its normal functioning. An organ remains ill, and is eventually destroyed, as long as the source of interference is not removed. A malfunctioning organ can negatively influence other organs and systems (circulatory, nervous, lymphatic) cooperating with it. There is constant struggle between health and illness in the life of our body. We could not stay alive without this struggle. In the case of common cold, for example, we may suffer from fever, headaches, bone aches, and general body weakness. Can we regard these as symptoms as a disease? Certainly, but high body temperature kills the disease-causing bacteria; mucus released by our body carries away toxins, while headaches, bone aches, and the feeling of weakness are side effects of our body’s struggle to return to health. What we call a disease is the defensive reaction of our body’s mechanisms designed to maintain us healthy. We all have these mechanisms. They are necessary to remove disorders in the way our body functions. They also give us warning signals when these

disorders begin. To stay healthy, we need to listen and understand what our body is trying to communicate to us. Do not treat diseases as your worst enemy. In a sense, they force us to make the first step on the way towards a healthy lifestyle. My journey to health was not easy. I was a very ill child, spending probably about 200 days out of the year in bed, fighting various infections and viruses. My mother was an emergency physician, very absorbed by her work, and she did not have much time to sit at my bedside. When I had a fever, she would give me a few strong doses of penicillin (very widely used in the sixties) to reduce the temperature. The fever was gone in a few days but my nose was plugged with mucus and my throat inflamed, red as a tomato. This meant for my mother the necessity of more radical measures. My tonsils were removed. This caused further complications – an inflammation in the maxillary sinus and partial loss of my sense of smell. Long and ineffective treatment of these complications with large doses of medications caused pain in the liver area. I also had allergic rashes on my hands, abdomen, and back. In addition, my diet was fat and sweet. No wonder I suffered from chronic pains under my right lowest rib. Frequent headaches had to be treated with painkillers. One day I became sick at school, and then I fainted. The school nurse ed my mother, who suspected probable acute inflammation of appendix and made sure I was quickly brought to the surgical ward. Three hours later I was on the operating table and the head doctor of the surgical ward, a friend of my mother’s, was operating on me. As it turned out, my appendix was perfectly healthy but my liver was enlarged and inflamed. The surgeon understood the source of my sufferings when she looked at my liver, but since my abdomen was already open, she removed my healthy appendix just in case. At least it was clear from now on that the cause of my headaches, weakness, and acute pain under the right lowest rib was my ill liver. Even though the appendix operation was successful, it caused complications in the form of hemorrhoids that afflicted me for many years. As a result of such “close ” with medicine, I gained a certain kind of experience. I understood that whenever medicine heals something in my body, it hurts (sometimes unknowingly) something else at the same time. When I later started helping other ill people, I was finally convinced that all pharmaceutical remedies could only maintain our body in a semihealthy state. This is why a diagnosis so often has the word “chronic” in it (chronic inflammation of gallbladder, ts, etc.). Because “chronic” means “continual” and “unending,” we can conclude that our diseases need to be treated for the rest of our lives. Avicenna, an Arabian philosopher and physician, over 1000 years go said: A physician should have three things in his arsenal – words, medications, and a blade. Words are necessary to explain to patients what mistakes they make in their lifestyle, and what is the connection between the mistakes and the source of illness. Medications when words cannot explain the cause of the disease but there still a duty to provide relief from suffering. The blade is used when the physician cannot identify the source of the disease, influence the patient with words, or find any medication to reduce the pain. By using a surgical blade, the doctor only removes the effects of a well-advanced disease. Its source remains and is ready to manifest in new places. An operation usually provides only some temporary relief for the patients before they are afflicted with an even worse disease. My experience taught me that the decisive factor in all matters of illness and health is the amount of energy available for our bodily organs. If there are deficiencies in the energy system that invisibly connects all our internal organs, our body becomes ill. Kan Funajana, an ancient Japanese physician, in his book “Guidelines of Medicine” wrote:

A human being is an entity whose soul and body form a union. This is why it is not possible to heal the body without considering the state of the soul and vice versa. We already know that to maintain our body in good health we need to cleanse it regularly, nurture it properly, and build up its immunity with the use of water, fresh air, sunlight, and physical exercise. When we talk about the soul, we should think about the human bio-energy system. Our consciousness, feelings, and memories are forms of invisible energy about whose qualities we know very little. To regulate psychological processes, we need to learn their mechanisms and this involves learning about bio-energy. Contemporary psychology considers only an insignificant number of bio-energetic processes taking place in our body. As far as medicine is concerned, it is mainly oriented towards treating the body and acknowledges little connection between the body and the soul. Our medicine focuses so much on different parts of the body that it almost forgets its existence as an integrated system. I am convinced that as long as medicine will use this approach to the functioning of the human body, diseases will always remain chronic and incurable. Improved methods of treating effects are not going to remove causes and bring health. Medicine looks for answers dealing with more effective and painless methods of removing ill organs and uses constantly improving hardware. The very thought of pain caused by a lowspeed dental drill used years ago makes everybody tremble. Today’s high-speed drills and effective anesthetics make a dental procedure relatively painless for the patient. However, tooth decay and gum disease still exist and will continue to exist. Contemporary methods allow a surgeon to remove the gallbladder in 30 minutes and use only a local anesthetic. A few years later the procedure brings effects in the form of digestive disorders. A by surgery uses arteries or veins from other parts of the body to take over the role of a useless coronary artery in the circulatory system. The artery or vein to be grafted is taken from the same ill body and is only a little better - five or six years later, another by surgery will be required. There are thousands of such examples. In my opinion, even perfectly successful surgeries in the long run are as ineffective as patching up an old pair of pants that are falling apart. A new patch in one place creates a tear in another and eventually the whole garment is beyond repair. People who are caught in these kinds of situations with their health problems would probably agree with me. Despite huge amounts of time spent on different treatments, their health does not improve. Are there solutions for such situations? I think there are. We should work on creating a completely new approach to the question of healing our body: • •

Quit blaming our doctors for treating us ineffectively. Understand that we are first to be responsible for taking care of our health.

We can learn to stop headaches by simple methods removing their causes instead of taking painkillers that poison our liver and our whole body. If the gallbladder is plugged up with stones, it needs to be cleansed, not removed. Heart disease, circulatory disorders, and obesity are results of laziness and lack of exercise. Pains in our stomach and pancreas come from overeating and not caring enough about providing the proper kind of nutrition for our body. I would like to be correctly understood – I am not advocating self-treatment.

Doctors have been, are, and will continue to be needed. We could not manage without them in extreme cases (e.g. accidents). However, we should also know how to take care of our body and help ourselves from day to day. We could use doctors only as our wise advisors. Everybody, not only a group of trained professionals, can possess the knowledge necessary to maintain good health. We need to stay healthy in order to fully use our natural gifts such as intellect, strength, and goodness. To be healthy, we should use the following principle of Hippocrates:If you are not your own doctor, you are a fool. The most important fact to , especially for those who need to recover their lost health, is that our organism is an integrated system and we have to treat it in a complex manner – both our body and mind. Only this kind of approach brings results. Health involves striving for physical and spiritual perfection. There is one more point I would like to make – we start causing damage to our health in various ways from early childhood. This is why we cannot expect an immediate return to health. It may take two to three years of work before we get rid of our health problems. Once we put our body and mind in order, we only need to persist in maintaining it and enjoy good health – a free gift from nature – for the rest of our life. 3+<6,&$/(;(5&,6( Life is motion Nothing causes as much damage to our body as long physical inactivity – Aristotle, an ancient Greek philosopher Physical effort is vital for the proper functioning of our heart, muscles, and circulatory system, for the effective removal of waste and toxins, and for the enhancement of our whole body’s efficiency. Exercise helps us to better assimilate the energy we acquire from the natural environment. It is good for everybody – young and old. It is especially important for ill people. An ill body needs much more physical activity than a healthy one. Those who suffer from heart disease and circulatory problems or adversely react to barometric pressure changes, magnetic storms, solar radiation, etc. should regularly exercise and strengthen their body enough to withstand all these factors. We should understand one simple truth: A physically active lifestyle not only protects us from becoming ill but also helps to eliminate many disorders we already have. What stops us from exercising? It is the old laziness. If your way of thinking is “I have so many things to do, there is no time for exercise”, it is time to change it. Convince yourself that exercise is as important as food for your muscles, internal organs, and brain. Physical inactivity makes us weak, ill, and prematurely aged. Among the great variety of physical exercises, I would like to focus your attention on the healing walk, the healing run, and barefoot walk. The healing walk Walking is rightly called the king of exercise. No other exercise brings such harmony to the functioning of our muscles. It does not require any special attire or equipment; it can be done at any time and in any kind of weather. A daily walk, even 0.5 to 2 miles (0.8 to 3.2km) long, wonderfully stimulates our heart muscle and circulatory system. It is best to walk in the woods or a park; if that is not possible, we can even walk along a hall or balcony. During a walk, we

should be relaxed and think about the fact that, with every step, our blood circulating through the blood vessels cleanses and nurtures our body. We can practice creating positive mental stereotypes by repeating, “I am healthy and strong, I am young and beautiful, I have a lot of energy” as we take each step. When we walk for healing, it is important not to become tired. We should feel light and refreshed. The intensity of the exercise can be increased slowly and gradually. For example: Months 1-3: A slow walk, 20-30 minutes twice a day Months 4-6: A fast walk 0.5-2 miles (0.8-3.2 km) every day Months 7-12: 2.5-6 miles (4-10km) every day The healing run Spartans used to say: “If you want to be strong – run; if you want to be healthy – run; if you want to be wise – run.” The healing run strengthens the walls of our blood vessels, lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels, enhances our gastrointestinal system, and strengthens the spine, ts, and muscles. Running is one of the best ways to build up our immunity against infections and to preserve our vigor and health. The benefits of running have been known for many years. There have been examples of heart problems caused by intensive running exercises. However, the problems can only arise if we do not take into our body’s specific abilities and break the rule of gradual increase in intensity, important in any physical exercises. Some people’s objective is not health improvement but quick weight loss. Their unfit and polluted body cannot bear the strain of intensive running exercise. We should acquire the habit of moderation in everything – eating, drinking, exercising, etc. What rules should we follow in our running to feel refreshed, youthful, and healthy? • • • •

1. Use only well-fitting footwear with correctly shaped soles. 2. Run on the ground or grass – they absorb shocks; it strengthens your muscles and ts. Running on paved surfaces may cause damage and inflammation of your ts. 3. If you have not exercised much lately, run and walk alternately. Run 30 yards (27.5m) at a time and then walk for a while (do not strain your body). 4. Don’t push yourself too much; relax your muscles and make your steps short. It is not distance that counts but the way all your muscles are exercised. The slight shocks on your heels move up the stream of blood in your veins. It works like a massage, strengthens the walls of your blood vessels, and prevents cholesterol and salts from forming deposits in your blood vessels and ts. 5. Dress warm in order to cause sweating – it helps in cleansing your body. 6. After exercising, lie down for about half the time you exercised. Place your legs above the heart level. In the standing position, 70% of the blood is below the heart level, and it is not easy for the heart to pump it upwards. When you run, your blood has to be pumped even faster. That is why you should let your heart rest after the exercise. 7. If you run in the evening, do it 2-3 hours after a meal. 8. Running should be a joyful exercise and not a chore. 9. It is better to exercise individually. Everybody’s health and fitness are different and allow different speed and intensity of running. Beginners running with a group of well-

exercised people, and trying to keep the same pace, can actually cause damage to their health. 10. Run every other day to maximize the healing effect of the exercise. +HDOWK\6SLQH +HDOWK\VSLQHWKHIXQGDWLRQRIDKHDOWK\ERG\ :K\LVVOHHSLQJRQDILUPPDWWUHVVEHQHILFLDOWRRXUKHDOWK" We sleep about one third of our lifetime. When we sleep, our muscles relax and our body stretches. All our movements are different from the movements we do when we are awake. Movements in our sleep require less energy – sleep is the best time for our spine’s rehabilitation. The mattress we sleep on should be as firm as possible without disturbing our sleep. We should sleep in a straight position, on our backs, with our arms stretched alongside the body and our legs relaxed. In such position, our weight is distributed evenly, our muscles are very relaxed, and all dislocations of vertebrae, we might have encountered during the day, are slightly corrected. The heart works under little strain in this position, easily pumping the blood, and the circulation is good. Better blood circulation means easier work for our liver as it removes toxins from our body. A well functioning liver means better metabolism. That way we can lose six to ten pounds (three to five kilograms) of weight, and get rid of many health problems after just two months of sleeping on a firm mattress. In the first few days of sleeping on a firm mattress, we will feel muscle and spine pain. When the misalignment of vertebrae is corrected (10-14 days), the pain will disappear. :K\LVVOHHSLQJRQDVRIWPDWWUHVVKDUPIXO Our liver is the chemical laboratory of our body. Thousands of chemical reactions, collectively known as metabolism, depend on the proper functioning of this laboratory. Science shows that even spacing of the thoracic vertebrae, starting from the third up to the twentieth, allows efficient functioning of the liver. People who sleep on soft mattresses always have those vertebrae bowed, and that significantly worsens their liver's function...Read more on pages 44 6HYHQ&OHDQLQJ6\VWHPVLQ2XU%RG\ There are seven systems responsible for cleaning mucus, tars, and other filth out of our body. These systems are: • • • • • • •

The large intestine The liver The kidneys Fat tissue Muscles and tendons Nose, ears, and eyes Lungs and skin

When one of our internal cleaning systems is not able to do its job, the next system is turned on. For example, if the large intestine and liver cannot complete the cleaning tasks, the systems connected with the nose, eyes, skin, and lungs take over. The result is rashes, eczema, allergies, runny nose, phlegm coughed up from the lungs from time to time, and secretion from

the eyes. In such cases, people use nose drops, put compresses on their eyes, or rub medicated creams onto their skin. All these measures only fight the symptoms. The treatment is usually long, costly, and ineffective. “Each illness has its cause, and the cause cannot be removed by any medication”. -- Hippocrates The medication or hospital care cannot cure us from bad habits that result in the internal contamination of our body. If we closely examined our internal cleaning systems, we would find out that in most cases they are in a terrible condition: • • • •

The large intestine is so contaminated that our blood absorbs more filth than useful substances from it. The liver or gallbladder are so plugged with stones, cholesterol, and dark-green bile that the process of filtering toxins out of blood is suppressed. The kidneys are not able to do their function because they are stuffed with sand and stones. Salty deposits on the bones and ts cause pain with every movement of the neck, arms, or knees. The ts produce a crunching sound when they return to their resting position.

How can we expect to feel healthy with so much internal contamination in our body? Our body’s ability to complete the cleansing task on its own depends on the level of contamination. 7KHOHYHOVRILQWHUQDOERG\FRQWDPLQDWLRQ First – The constant feeling of fatigue despite a healthy body appearance Second – Headaches and bone pains Third – Many types of allergies Forth – Cysts, lumps, stones, and obesity Fifth – Deformed internal organs, bones, and ts Sixth – Nervous system diseases Seventh – The degeneration of cells and organs, eventually leading to cancers You can determine the level of your body’s internal contamination by watching the symptoms. If you notice symptoms of the second and third level, you do not have much time to waste – start the procedure of complete body cleansing as soon as possible. Read also about body cleansing and constipation 6DXQDV Scientific data show that people who use saunas get flu and colds ten times less than the average. We know that weather influences our health. Our body is influenced by temperature and humidity changes, winds, magnetic storms, etc.If our body’s defensive mechanisms are weak, we immediately feel adverse effects of weather changes on our health. Sauna is an excellent way to make our immune system stronger by the use of cool, hot, humid, and dry stimulants. Our body experiences constant changes of surrounding temperature:68-75F (2024C) when we undress, 176-212F (80-100C) when we enter sauna, 86-104F (30-40C) in a hot shower, and 59-68F (15-20C) in a cool shower. Such alternately hot and cold shower is the best thermo-massage for the blood vessels of our skin and muscles. A hot shower expands blood vessels, while a cold shower produces the opposite (contracting) effect. This kind of therapy makes us immune to any weather changes.

:KRFDQXVHVDXQD" We know that prevention and immunity building are good concepts. We all agree with that, but we often find convenient excuses not to use these simple concepts in our life. The use of sauna does not require any effort and is beneficial for everybody – young or old, for those in good health as well as for those who are ill(with some exceptions mentioned in the next paragraph). There is a saying in Finland "Everybody who can walk to the sauna can use it." 6DXQDDQG\RXUKHDUW Swiss doctors use saunas in the treatment of high blood pressure. In most cases, it takes only 15 sessions in sauna to bring blood pressure back to normal. They proved that sauna helps regulate our blood pressure – decreases, increases, or stabilizes it according to need. People with heart defects should that our blood circulation is affected by not only temperature changes but also by humidity and the length of time spent in sauna. Please consult your physician before you decide to try the power of sauna. -XLFLQJ -XLFHVZRUNPLUDFOHV Vegetable and fruit juices flush old and dead cells out of our body, help in dissolving salty build-ups, dissolve stones in our liver and kidneys, and play a role in preventing cancers. However, many people are concerned about chemicals used in the growing and storing of fruits and vegetables. When we use a juicer, any chemicals that were used in the growing and storing of our fruits and vegetables get trapped in the pulp. The juice contains only structured water with dissolved vitamins, microelements, and easily absorbable mineral salts. We should drink juices in small sips 20 minutes before a meal and hold each sip in the mouth for a few seconds. Enzymes present in our saliva digest carbohydrates contained in juices. If we drink fast (as most people do), the juices get directly to our stomach and undergo fermentation (our stomach’s usual function is processing proteins). A tip on preparing juices: We can put a filter (a double filter would be even better) on the opening of our juicer’s tank to eliminate as many harmful chemicals as possible. )UHVKMXLFHV Chemical processing, preservatives, and pasteurization used in the production of juices not only destroy vitamins and microelements but also partially damage the structure of water along with the natural biological information recorded in it. The healthy ingredients last about four hours in fruit juices and ten hours in vegetable juices. Juices sold in stores, even if they are 100% natural, preserve only 60% of their nutritional value. Synthetic vitamin C is often added to fruit and vegetable juices. The only thing it has in common with natural vitamin C is its chemical formula. There have been articles in scientific literature describing potential harmful effects of synthetic vitamin C. We should keep in mind that a glass of freshly squeezed juice contains many substances still unknown to science and prepared by the ultimate pharmacist – nature herself. White sugar is added to most juices sold in stores. That is not a good idea. One of the main benefits of drinking freshly squeezed juices is the fact that they increase the alkalinity of our body, dissolve mucus and flush out insoluble harmful salts. In this way, fresh juices help cleanse our muscles, tissues, and blood. On the contrary, refined sugar increases the acidity of our body and causes fermentation in our intestines. This explains excessive gas and heartburn we often experience when we drink processed juices. Refined sugar added to juice is like “the spoon of tar that spoils the entire barrel of honey” in a Russian proverb. The specific health benefits of each juice come from physiologically active substances produced by plants. Juices are so rich in microelements and minerals that they contain almost the entire periodic table of elements. In other words, all vitamins, microelements and minerals essential for our health are found in plant juices. One week of regular drinking of raw juices will bring a

healthy complexion to your face, deep restful sleep, and better functioning of your gastrointestinal tract. The juices should be prepared from fresh healthy fruits or vegetables and consumed as soon as possible. When juices are stored (even if refrigerated), they undergo fermentation and decay, even though the taste may remain the same (beet juice is an exception). Another good quality of plant-based juices is their easy assimilation by our body. Juices are assimilated completely 30 minutes after consumption, while even vegetable-based solid meals need one hour or more for digestion. Drinking juices provides relief for our digestive system and allows time for repairing and cleansing of all systems and organs with a minimal use of our body’s energy. There are three different ways to use “juice therapy”; depending on the objective, we have in mind: • • •

Daily preventative use – up to 2 cups (0.5L) Providing relief for our digestive system – 8-12 cups (2-3L) a day for 1-3 days (no longer) As a remedy for a health problem – 2-4 cups (0.5-1L) a day for two weeks

)UXLW 9HJHWDEOHMXLFHV±WKHVRXUFHRIKHDOWK Beet juice helps in the creation of red blood cells, improves blood structure, delays menopause in females, cures the diseases of circulatory system, digestive system, large intestine disorders, and dissolves stones in the liver, kidneys, and bladder (especially when used together with carrot juice). The proportion should be as follows: four units of carrot juice per one unit of beet juice. It can be used twice a day (one cup / 250ml at a time). Note: We should not drink freshly squeezed beet juice (store in a dark place for 2-3 hours before consumption).

It makes no difference for the afflicted what we call the illness:rheumatism, arthritis, or osteoporosis. The label does not change the pain. Sleepless nights and limited mobility result in sad voice and tired-looking eyes. Ancient Tibetan wisdom teaches: "Strong bones and flexible ts assure long and healthy life." No matter how much we care about our internal hygiene, toxic salty deposits will always form on our bones and ts. They limit our ts’ range of motion and cause painful inflammations (rheumatism, arthritis, etc.). One of the ways to avoid these diseases is regular cleansing of bones and ts. It is a 3 day two-stage therapy with a seven-day interval and it should be used once a year. The best time to undergo this therapy is the summer-fall season. Read more on page 198
