THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES
cleaner you get more and more energy right after each cleanse.
Some cleanses have a dramatic effect. Others do not. This sug-
gests that a certain part of the liver is the responsible part. Soon
after the cleanse–within a week–the same old lassitude sets in.
But during these few days notice how your body feels. It feels
light. Your abdomen feels tight, like it's a part of you again.
You're mind isn't on food throughout the day. It's very easy to
lose weight, in fact you may lose five pounds in these few days
without dieting or exercising. Definitely, your long-lost weight
regulation is back in force. But then it vanishes. Fortunately, a bit
of the weight loss stays with you, and by repeating cleanses (only
once in 2 weeks, though) you can shed the pounds you want and
gain energy in a permanent way. It is probably the way nature

Try increasing your bowel movements. Notice how cats and
dogs seem to derive energy from emptying their bowels. A cat
walks to its litter box; after emptying its bowels and carefully
covering it up, it jumps from the box and runs away. It now has
its playful mood. A body chemical, acetylcholine, plays a role
in emptying the bowels. Acetylcholine is a necessary operator
for many of our muscles. Is there a disturbance in our acetyl-
choline metabolism in overweight conditions?
Coax your body to release more acetylcholine, at least in the
intestines, by using a herbal laxative like Cascara sagrada. Other
varieties are useful, too, but don't use a drug laxative: it burdens
the liver more. Try to have three bowel movements a day.
Shigella bacteria can cause dreadful constipation. Immedi-
ately, the body feels sluggish, abdomen feels disconnected or
hanging out. A nameless hunger sets in. Keep a close watch on
dairy foods to make sure they are sterile. Zap when in doubt and
do the Bowel Program.
Exercise helps as long as you keep at it. Strict dieting works
as long as you keep doing it. But there's the problem. When you
