GASTRITIS-HOW TO HELP HEAL IT WITHOUT DRUGS, SURGERY NOR TREATMENTS
WHAT IS GASTRITIS?
Gastritis is inflammation of the gastric mucosa, the lining of the stomach. The word comes from the Greek gastro- meaning of the stomach and -itis meaning inflammation.
WE ARE NOT WHAT WE EAT BUT WHAT WE ASSIMILATE
Indigestion is the most common illness effecting human beings.
The first commandment of eating is: Thou shalt not poison thyself.
We are not what we eat, but the nutrients we digest, absorb, assimilate and utilize. To eat is heavenly, to digest, absorb, assimilate and utilize, is divine.
THERE IS NO FOOD THERAPY
There is no "food therapy". Many mistakenly believe that certain foods can perform specific actions upon the body, to effect a "cure" or treatment. Whether they be in the form of medicines, herbs, foods, juices, vitamins, minerals, supplements and/or enzymes, there are no "food cures". Instead, your inherent intelligence, your God within, heals itself. food has no power to act upon the living body-the body acts upon the food. The body is active and the food is passive. Food is inert. Food effects the living body, only because the body is forced to react to foods to which it is exposed. The body selectively absorbs what it needs from foods ingested and rejects the rest. Nothing outside the living body can heal. All healing comes from your God within. Digestion is the term applied to the process by which the complex materials of food stuffs, are broken down, into simpler substances and prepared for entrance into the blood stream.
WHAT IS DIGESTION?
There are two kinds of digestion: physiological and pathological. Physiological digestion is perfect digestion. Since there are no perfect people around, no one has perfect digestion. Pathological digestion is impaired digestion. Impaired digestion results from enervation, that is, from depletion of the nerve supply. Enervation, in turn results when the laws of life are disobeyed, either intentionally or unintentionally.
WHAT CAUSES INDIGESTION?
Indigestion is caused by insufficient enzyme secretion, eating unpalatable, cooked and processed foods, with nutritional deficiencies, the continued use of refined foods, eating junk foods, eating when not hungry, inattention to salivation and mastication, when eating, bolting of foods, eating on the run, eating immediately before engaging in physical work or intense mental activity, eating too fast, swallowing air, eating when in pain, eating when severely inflamed, eating when feverish, eating when symptomatic, eating when fatigued, eating when the external environmental temperature is too cold or too hot, eating unripe foods, eating additives, eating preservatives, eating spoiled foods, eating foods too acidic, eating foods too acidic, eating foods difficult to digest, eating herbs, eating vitamins, minerals, supplements and enzymes, overeating, eating between meals, eating wrong combinations of foods, eating foods that are too cold or too hot, eating fried and greasy foods, eating cake and candy, drinking with meals, drinking tea, coffee and cocoa, ingesting alcohol, tobacco, marijuana and narcotics-especially if the stomach is empty, eating when emotionally upset, use of sugar, spices and condiments, overwork, loss of sleep, lack of rest with the eyes closed, stimulation, etc., all contribute to the debilitated state, that ultimately result in gastrointestinal disorders. No food is digestible or indigestible, per se, but according to persons, times and circumstances.
HOW TO FEED SICK PEOPLE?
Sick people must be fed according to their current condition and capacity, to utilize food.
WHAT IS THE DIGESTIVE OR GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT?
All diseases of the gastrointestinal tract arise from a condition of severe toxicosis. The digestive tract or tube, gastrointestinal tract or alimentary canal, is a 25-30 feet long tube, that begins with the mouth and ends with the anus. Food in this digestive tract, is technically considered to be outside the body. If a healthy person should eat harmful foods, they may be carried through the body to the nearest exit, without actually being absorbed or entering into the body from this tube. It includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small intestine and the colon, which is also called the large intestine. The liver and pancreas aid in digestion, but are not part of the digestive tract.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF DIGESTION?
The purpose of digestion is to take the food that is eaten and break it down into nutrients-basic materials that the body can use. The food eaten can be classified into groups of nutrients such as: starch, sugar, fat, protein, minerals and vitamins. If you have indigestion, you should completely avoid all food, juices, coffee, tea, cocoa, herbs, vitamins, supplements, alcohol, tobacco, marijuana and narcotics, except the drinking of as much water, as to satisfy your thirst.
AVOID COLONICS & ENEMAS
Avoid colonics, enemas and cathartics (laxatives). Contrary to common belief, there is no hardened caked on crust of toxic waste materials lining the colon, which can be removed by enemas and/or colonics.
AVOID DRUGS, SURGERY & TREATMENTS FOR DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS
Completely avoid the dangerous and often fatal orthodox medical therapies of drugs, surgery and treatments, for digestive problems. Drugs, surgery and treatments only suppress symptoms and do not help heal properly, the causes of the indigestion.
EAT ONLY WHEN YOU ARE HUNGRY, I.E., WHEN YOU ARE SALIVATING FOR FOOD
Eat only when you are genuinely hungry, i.e., when you are salivating for food. Do not eat just because Dr. Ivan Pavlov has rung the bell. You secrete saliva, in response the sight, smell, taste and even the thought of food. begin digestion in the mouth, with the mechanical breakdown of food, via chewing and with the help of the tongue mixed with saliva. Saliva is produced by salivary glands in the mouth and cheeks. Saliva moistens and lubricates the food mass. This salivary enzymatic secretion promotes the first of several chemical reactions, that convert food into usable nutrients.
CHEW FOODS THOROUGHLY BEFORE SWALLOWING
Not thoroughly masticating and salivating the food in your mouth before swallowing, results in delayed digestion, fermentation and putrefaction in the food eaten. You should chew your food well. Your stomach has no teeth. You should savor each morsel of food. close your eyes and feelingly meditate on the maximum pleasurable taste of the food in your mouth, before swallowing such food. The only time you get to enjoy the taste of food, is while it is in the mouth-food is not tasted after it is swallowed. You have conscious control over the process of digestion, only when the food is in your mouth. Once the food has been swallowed, it enters the realm of the unconscious processes of life.
ENZYMES HELP YOU DIGEST THE FOOD YOU EAT
During chewing, food reaches a temperature suitable for digestion. The food you eat, is broken down by digestive juices into small, absorbable nutrients that generate the energy required to maintain life, replace the cells that are constantly dying and to keep you functioning. Enzymatic secretion dysfunction, is a major cause of indigestion. Digestive enzymes act solely at the surface of food particles. The rate of digestion, is related directly to the extent to which food is masticated. Saliva contains the enzymes salivary amylase and lingual lipase that begin the process of breaking down starch and fat. Do not swallow any food until you have derived all the pleasurable taste from the food you are eating. It is a cardinal sin, to put food in your stomach, that is not ready for it. During chewing, food reaches a temperature suitable for digestion. Close your eyes and feelingly meditate on the maximum pleasurable taste of the food in your mouth before swallowing such food.
DON'T MIX FOODS YOU EAT INDISCRIMINATELY
The eating of complex mixtures of foods is not seen in Nature. "Wild" animals, not domesticated "civilized" animals, stay strictly with the foods to which they are constitutionally adapted (those to which their digestive secretions and processes are specially adapted). They refrain from mixing these indiscriminately.
EAT FOODS YOU INGEST SEQUENTIALLY, I.E., IN PROPER ORDER
Sequential Eating was evolved individually by Drs. Moses Maimonides, Anne Longworthy Waite and John Tilden and eastern mystic Baha'u'llah. This is eating foods separately and in proper order. Eat the simplest food first and progressively increase the complexity of the foods that follow, until you eat the most complex foods at that meal, last.
COMBINE FOODS YOU EAT ACCORDING TO THEIR ENZYME SECRETION
Food Combination Diet was created by Dr. William Howard Hay. He contended that foods to be eaten, should be combined according to their respective enzymatic secretion.
EAT A MONO DIET, I.E., ONE FOOD AT A TIME
One-Food-At-A-Time Diet, the so-called Mono Diet, was devised by Dr. Thomas J. Allen.
EAT FOODS INSTINCTIVELY, I.E., LISTEN TO YOUR INHERENT INTELLIGENCE
Instinctive Living or Anopsology, advocated by Guy-Claude Burger and Bruno Comby, contends that healthy animals and humans, instinctively know what foods they need, what foods could poison them and when to water fast, when they are ill.
IT REQUIRES TIME TO ADAPT TO A NEW DIET
New Food Adaptation diet, was discovered by Dr. Ivan Pavlov. He showed that when a food is taken to which the body has not been accustomed, the digestive juices have to "learn" to secrete the proper juice for its digestion. The adaptation of the digestive juices to the new food, requires time.
OUR BODIES ARE ALWAYS SELF-HEALING & ALWAYS DO THE RIGHT THING WHEN WE HAVE DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS
Our bodies always do the right thing. We are passengers on the train of life, not the conductors. Since life began on earth, our God within, our inherent intelligence within each cell of our bodies, has learned to make the optimum adaptation and resolution, to any problem to which our bodies are subjected. Whatever stresses our bodies presently have, our bodily cells have previously learned how to successfully cope with such. It is already built into our genes, our chromosomes and our DNA. Our inherent intelligence, if it chooses to produce disease, it does so to protect us. This disease, or whatever our pathology or symptomatology, helps us survive, despite our self-destructive lifestyle, thinking and spirituality. Our disease is for our protective benefit. Our disease will spontaneously heal, when the cause and need for our inherent intelligence, our God within, to produce disease, no longer exists.
DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS & ALL ILLNESSES WILL SELF-HEAL, IF NOT SUPPRESSED
All pain, symptoms, dysfunction, illness and disease, are self-limited, i.e., will heal by themselves, if we do not suppress our health problems, whether they be physical, mental and/or spiritual. All health problems when we first develop them are acute, and will self-heal within seconds, minutes, hours or days. If we suppress our acute health problems, i.e., interfere with its self-healing, we develop a chronic health problem, which may exist for weeks, months, years or a lifetime. If we don't permit our chronic health problem to self-heal, it will exacerbate and eventually kill us. That is why all human beings prematurely die. All human beings, if and when they die, should die only from so-called natural causes, at a very advanced age or from very severe trauma.
I DISCOVERED & TEACH THAT EVERY DIGESTIVE PATHOLOGY PRODUCES A CONCOMITANT DIGESTIVE SYMPTOMATOLOGY, AS AN INHERENT SELF-HEALING MECHANISM
I discovered and teach that every digestive pathology and physiological dysfunction produces a concomitant digestive symptomatology in all human beings, as an inherent self-healing mechanism. This means, that your inherent intelligence, your God within, is always talking to you. If you listen to it and obey it, you will always have good health. So whenever you are ill, your inherent intelligence produces symptoms upon which you should concentrate, meditate on, pay attention to and feel, until you are asymptomatic, i.e., until your symptoms completely and permanently disappear. If and when you will do this, your illness and the cause of your illness, will always help heal completely and permanently.
HOW TO DO "FEELING MEDITATION" TO HELP YOU HEAL YOUR DIGESTIVE PROBLEM
You should lie down, keep your body inactive, keep your eyes closed and concentrate, meditate, think on, keep your mind on your symptoms and discomforts, until your symptoms and distresses completely disappear. This is "feeling meditation".
"FEELING MEDITATION" WILL HELP YOU HEAL YOUR GASTRITIS
Meditation is listening to the God within, the inherent intelligence. The God within is always talking to you, not with words, but with communicating with you via "feelings" throughout your body. Prayer is becoming silent, going within, aligning with and acknowledging God as All-in-All. Meditation and prayer are 2 steps with the same ultimate goal, communion with the God within. You are an expression of the image and likeness of the God within. You are whole and perfect. As you are already perfect, all you need do is to commune with the God within, become aware of that perfection and become healed.
I AM PERFECT & HEALTHY. MY GASTRITIS IS HEALED. THIS IS TRUE PRAYER
Your body is constantly telling you what it needs. All disease, pain and suffering are caused by negative thought patterns. The beliefs we were taught, that have convinced us that we are separate from God, perfection and health, are false ideas that have no power. The only power these beliefs have is the power we give to them. These false beliefs can be dissolved instantly understanding that the true you is perfect and healthy. My gastritis is healed. This is true prayer.
THE BIBLE SAYS, FASTING WITH "FEELING MEDITATION", HELPS YOU HEAL YOUR DIGESTIVE PROBLEM
The Bible says, "Not by prayer alone but by fasting too." Water fasting (physiological rest) with "feeling meditation", immediately helps you heal your indigestion, while mental calm produced by your prayer, is a great aid to restoration of your poise.
"Fasting is better than prayer." St. Clement: Second Epistle to the Corinthians, in The Bible.
"The best of all medicines are resting and fasting." Benjamin Franklin, Founding Father of USA.
WHEN YOU ARE ILL WITH DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS, WATER FAST, "WITH FEELING MEDITATION", TO HELP YOU HEAL YOURSELF, IMMEDIATELY & PERMANENTLY
Everyone who is ill, should water fast (physiological rest) with "feeling meditation", as the surest and most rapid means of helping to heal. A water fast with "feeling meditation", is necessary to help you heal your illness. Water fasting, with "feeling meditation", usually leads to cessation and healing of your pathology and symptomatology, immediately and permanently.
WATER FASTING, PHYSIOLOGICAL REST, HELPS YOU HEAL YOUR INDIGESTION
Indigestion requires physiologically resting the digestive tract, water fasting. You water fast, by abstaining from all activities, lying down, closing your eyes and feelingly meditating on your symptoms. When you fast, you should keep your eyes closed every moment that you fast. A fast is a physiological rest. To get total rest, you must keep your eyes constantly closed. You break your water fast, when you become asymptomatic or when you are genuinely hungry, i.e., when you are salivating for food.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A JUICE FAST
Avoid a "juice fast". It is a misnomer. A fast means a physiological rest, abstinence from all food and juices, except water. Take food as Nature prepared them for us to eat. We are adapted to taking whole foods. The bulk has necessary nutrients in it, which are cast away, if only juices are taken.
BIBLE SAYS "LAY YOUR HANDS ON THE SICK AND THEY SHALL BE HEALED"
The Bible says that laying on of hands on sick animals and on sick people to help heal them, was a common successful practice, in early times. Jesus often laid hands on people before healing them (Mark 6:5; Luke 4:40; 13:13). Paul laid hands on a sick person and he was healed (Acts 28:8). Jesus said concerning His followers, "they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well" (Mark 16:18).
LAYING ON OF HANDS", I.E., HEALING DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS BY TOUCHING WITH YOUR HANDS, HAS BEEN USED SINCE ANCIENT TIMES, TO HELP HEAL YOURSELF, OTHER HUMAN BEINGS & ANIMALS, OF DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS
The influence of "laying on of hands", i.e., healing digestive problems by touching with your hands, has been used since ancient times, and is being used right down to the present time. In our time, there are many evangelists and "healers" who help "heal" digestive problems, in themselves, in other people and in animals, via transmitting God "healing" energy, through their hands, to those with digestive problems, they help heal by touching with their hands. With the "laying on of hands", there are many evangelists, Protestant ministers, Catholic priests, Jewish rabbis, Islamic imams, clergy of many religions and "healers", who help heal digestive problems in themselves, in other human beings and in animals.
YOU CAN HELP HEAL EVERYONE OF DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS, YOURSELF, OTHER PEOPLE & ANIMALS, YOUNG & OLD, NO MATTER HOW "HOPELESSLY" SICK, EVEN TERMINALLY ILL, SKEPTICS & UNBELIEVERS, BY "LAYING ON OF HANDS", I.E., TOUCHING THEM WITH YOUR HANDS. EVERYBODY CAN LEARN, HOW TO HELP HEAL DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS, BY TOUCHING WITH THEIR HANDS, THEMSELVES, OTHER PEOPLE & ANIMALS, & HELP HEAL THEMSELVES & ALL OF THEM, OF DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS
I can teach you, how to help heal digestive problems by touching with your hands, yourself, any other human being and any animal, and help heal yourself and all of them of digestive problems immediately. I have helped heal digestive problems by touching with my hands, many human beings and animals, and they always immediately, begin to heal, feel better, look better and get better, permanently. Everybody can learn, how to help heal digestive problems, via transmitting God "healing" energy, through their hands, to those with digestive problems, they help heal by touching with their hands, themselves, any other human being and animal, and help heal themselves and all of them, of digestive problems.
AVOID TREATING YOUR DIGESTIVE SYMPTOMS. TO HELP HEAL, REMOVE THE CAUSE OF YOUR DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS
To help heal your health problems, you must remove its cause. To just treat your symptoms, does not permanently heal yourself. In treating your symptoms, you are just treating the effects, not the cause. Your symptoms exist for your protective benefit. Your symptoms are the healing and detoxifying reaction of your inherent intelligence, your God within. Your symptoms are always controlled by your inherent intelligence. This is why your symptoms should never be destroyed, interfered with and suppressed. The destruction, interference, and suppression of your symptoms, prevents these inherent, protective bodily defenses from healing yourself. If your inherent intelligence cannot heal your distresses, nothing and nobody else can. No destructive, interfering and suppressive therapy of any kind can heal you, but only your inherent intelligence can heal.
EAT A CONSTRUCTIVELY BENEFICIAL DIET TO HELP YOU HEAL YOUR DIGESTIVE PROBLEM & TO HELP PREVENT YOU EVER DEVELOPING A DIGESTIVE PROBLEM
Our inherent intelligence, our God within, is always talking to us. If we "feelingly meditate" and pay attention to our inherent intelligence, we will always know homeostatically, the best foods to eat, when and how much to eat. If we depend on our "civilized" ideas of how to eat, we will become sick. We should eat as constructive and beneficial a diet as is possible. We should eat only natural foods, that we would eat in the wild. We should eat only fresh, natural, raw foods that are palatable to us and that agrees with us, with all the essential minerals and essential nutrients. Every bit of agricultural exploitative commercialization and soil depletion, bioengineering, experimental breeding, processing, cooking, hybridizing, mutation and pollution, destroys vitamins, enzymes, minerals, nucleic acids, chlorophyl, damages fats and makes the fatty matter a local irritant. This agricultural exploitative commercialization and soil depletion, bioengineering, experimental breeding, processing, cooking, hybridizing, mutation and pollution, excessively stresses every cell of our bodies, results in our impaired nutrition and results in our impaired health.
WHAT IS DIGESTIVE PROBLEM NUTRITION?
What is nutrition? Nutrition means all the processes and functions that are necessary for the assimilation of our foods we eat. Nutrition is the physiological process our inherent intelligence conducts, as our inherent intelligence transforms foods we eat, into material for our bodies own growth and maintenance. Nutrition means that every part of the human body, renews and repairs itself, by its own intrinsic power to absorb nutritive material from the surrounding medium and assimilate, organize, and transform it into material identical with its own, and endow it with vital properties, if it is supplied with appropriate food. Nutritional deficiencies create imbalances in our bodies chemistry.
WHAT IS DIGESTIVE PROBLEM DETOXIFICATION?
Detoxification is the final expulsion of waste materials through the various excretory organs. Detoxification takes place in the human body continually from birth throughout life. Detoxification stops at time of death of the human body.
HOW TO HELP HEAL YOUR INDIGESTION
To put the fire out before it begins, correct your lifestyle, mentality, emotionality and spirituality. No recovery of health is possible so long as digestive problems remain. Remove these causes and provide the disabled digestive tract with a much needed physiological rest, a water fast with eyes closed, "feeling meditation", and the digestive tract will repair its damages, recuperate its forces and begin to function normally again. Intense, progressive resistance exercise, airbathing, sunbathing, sungazing, poised mental atmosphere, adequate sleep and closing your eyes as often as possible, eating fresh, palatable, natural raw, unprocessed foods with all the essential minerals and nutrients, all help immensely in preventing and helping heal digestive problems. Never do anything that does not improve you. Do not do anything from which you must recover.

DR. BERNARR IS THE ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY ON FASTING. DR. BERNARR IS PROBABLY THE ONLY TEACHER/PRACTITIONER TODAY, WHO THOROUGHLY UNDERSTANDS NATURAL HYGIENE.& FASTING
"Jennings, Graham, Trall, Tilden, Carrington, Shelton, Fry, all the wise ones, wrote about Natural Hygiene. Since the demise of Shelton, the only person who has truly done any significant "updating" of Natural Hygiene, is Dr. Bernarr. Dr. Bernarr is probably the only teacher/practitioner today, who thoroughly understands Natural Hygiene, the immutable principles discovered by the true Natural Hygienists of the past. Dr.Bernarr has not tried to re-write Natural Hygiene to suit himself, but instead has stayed completely true to it, and has gently added a few more invaluable pieces of the puzzle, to add to the actual body of knowledge. Dr. Bernarr is the absolute authority on fasting, there is no one who knows fasting like he does, and the result is the recovery of real health."
