This book was produced in EPUB format by the Internet Archive.
The book pages were scanned and converted to EPUB format automatically. This process relies on optical character recognition, and is somewhat susceptible to errors. The book may not offer the correct reading sequence, and there may be weird characters, non-words, and incorrect guesses at structure. Some page numbers and headers or footers may remain from the scanned page. The process which identifies images might have found stray marks on the page which are not actually images from the book. The hidden page numbering which may be available to your ereader corresponds to the numbered pages in the print edition, but is not an exact match; page numbers will increment at the same rate as the corresponding print edition, but we may have started numbering before the print book's visible page numbers. The Internet Archive is working to improve the scanning process and resulting books, but in the meantime, we hope that this book will be useful to you.

Acknowledgments
I must give foremost credit to Sir Arbuthnot Lane, physician to theBritish Royal Family, for helping me realize the relationship betweenthe bowel and disease elsewhere in the body Max Gerson, M.D.,opened my eyes to the value of bowel cleansing in ridding the bodyof chronic and degenerative disease conditions. Fie proved it couldbe done. I appreciate John Harvey Kellogg, M.D., of Battle Creek,Michigan, for teaching me the importance of proper bowel flora. Ihave Drs. Denis R Burkett and Neil D. Painter to thank for their writings on the importance of dietary fiber, not only to improve bowelhealth and quicken bowel transit time, but to reduce the incidence ofbowel-related diseases elsewhere in the body. I am grateful to thehomeopathic physician Constantine Hering for formulating a law ofcure that emphasizes that healing takes place "from the inside out."
I would like to thank William Welles, D.C., for his contributionsand research concerning bowel health and proper elimination. AlanImmerman, D.C., has also graciously allowed me to use some of hisbowel research. My relationship with Dr. V.E. Irons in bowel-care workgoes back many years.
Donald Bodeen, D.C., and his wife, Joyce, made important contributions to this book. Joyce has conducted tissue-cleansing programson the East Coast. My long-time girl Friday, Sylvia Bell, has helped inmany of the tissue-cleansing programs here on the Ranch.
As always, deep appreciation goes to Marie Jensen, my wife, forher faithful support in all my work.

Preface
My father was a chiropractor. I, too, sought to be a chiropractor, for I knew from my observations that this system of carefully examining and adjusting the spinal vertebrae produces results. Painful conditions are alleviated.Sick people get well, the lame walk, and the bent-over are able toagain stand erect.
Upon graduation from chiropractic school, I was anxious to openmy office. It wasn't long before I developed a busy practice. But I sooncame to see that something was missing in my work. Although mostof my colleagues were satisfied with their office practices, I wasbecoming increasingly dissatisfied. I noticed that the great majority ofpeople who came to my office seemed to be content with the relief Iwas able to afford them with spinal adjustments, but that many continually came back with the same conditions. I was administeringadjustments to their spines, but I discovered that what these peoplereally needed more than anything were adjustments in their waysof living.
I began to see that people needed to be taught how to improvetheir lifestyles. Some were in need of mental and spiritual uplifts.Conditions in their lives had pulled them down, driven them to astate of negativity and despair. Some had jobs or careers for whichthey were physically or mentally ill-suited. Chronic stress and tensionhad become a way of life for them. Nearly all were in need of adjustments in their diets. Some didn't have time to eat correctly. They werealways in a rush. Most, however, had the time to eat incorrectly, consuming foods prepared according to culinary habits passed down in
