chapter two in the power of now is very very good about the pain body – excerpt below
the moment you observe it, feel it, the identification with the pain body is broken
the higher dimensional consciousness comes in
this means it can not use you anymore by pretending to be you
the pain body is an insubstantial phantom that can not survive the power of presence in the nowthe darkness of it can not survive being exposed to the light
if you can not fight the darkness you can not fight the pain body
it consists of trapped energy because of mind identification with it
our responsibility is not to create further pain around itwhen you become the watcher it will still stay with you awhile and gain momentum but stay present and watch it directly, it then can not control your thinking
the moment you align with it you feed it. -

Clare is actually dictating this to me right now:
My daughter, Clare, who’s 27 years old, went through her first Hydro-colon Therapy Experience. She went in because she has been suffering severe anxiety/panic attacks for years – which have been throwing her into violent vomiting and sometimes, like recently, kidney problems. These are so severe she has to be hospitalized while they hydrate, de-nauseate and sedate her before her kidneys fail completely.
She has been so upset about the hospital bills and the overall lack of a solution to the problem. I started googling all of her symptoms and finally came up with hydro-colon therapy and the possibility of a parasite. She had been complaining about a band of pressure around her transverse colon (the stretch of muscle below the ribcage), a lot of throwing up, continuous nausea, heartburn, sore throat from the throwing up, back-pain, severe anxiety, and more anxiety worrying about whether she would be hospitalized again!
We went to Healing Waters Hydro-colon therapy where she underwent an hour of her first cleansing. Forty gallons of water flowed in and out of her for an hour! At first the water was clear and Clare was skeptical about this whole hippy-dippy thing. And then the first parasite showed up – whoa. She wanted to cry as about 5 minutes of blood clots, parasites and bile from her liver and intestines flowed past. And that was the first cluster! The parasite was about 6 1/2 inches long!
Pause, while we both breathe and take a breath.
She said it was very uncomfortable every time they came to a clot, but never painful. It wasn’t just a clot of blood, where the parasites had literally chewed away the intestines, but a clot of parasites as well. So dramatic.
This happened 4-5 times! She has to go back next week to complete the process. The therapist was convinced that the parasite had lodged itself into the transverse colon, right in the area of nerve endings that send messages to the brain, specifically the point having to do with calm/anxiety.
So how does she feel after her first colon cleansing? In her own words,
“AMAZING! No anxiety, much lighter, emotionally relieved, not having something living off of you! This is the best I’ve felt in 3 years! It’s so good to feel things moving through me, instead of feeling clogged!”
Great way to start the new year!
Clare’s bug bite in Mexico happened 3-4 years ago and is still on her ankle today. We’re seeing if it’ll go away with these cleanses. Her nausea, vomiting, kidney problems couples with anxiety and panic attacks began shortly after her Mexico trip!
Day 2 – Clare’s on the MMS and Para-Control. She called to tell me she feels fantastic! She had so much natural energy last night, she couldn’t sleep until 4 a.m. (Clare has taken no caffeine, for years.) “Seriously, all the blemishes on my whole body are clearing up! Look at my skin! It’s kind of insane!”
Day 3 – I feel good! Look at my skin! It’s so clear! Energized!2nd appointment – Clare says that for 45 minutes there was clear water, only. She looked at the hydrotherapist and asked,
“Does this mean I’m perfectly clean inside?!” Georgia’s words – “Nope – here they come!” And THOUSANDS of green worms came out of her transverse colon! She feels amazing! The first time in years that she hasn’t felt of band of pressure around and under her ribs! -

Thanks for sending this, Mapuana!
http://www.a1msm.co.uk/msm_lotion_recipe.htm
Aloha Kakou, Mahalo nui loa on the MSM! I haven’t experienced anymore pain in the knee since I started to take the MSM. I also started to apply the powder diluted in water to the area. The first DIY organic product that I made was a lotion using Kalapana Gold beeswax, organic cold pressed oils and water which came out pretty good. The draw back there was not using any preservatives in them so it started to get mold pretty quickly, especially here in the warmer climate. I’m now researching making a lotion or cream with the MSM and thought I’d share the recipe I found. I suppose making smaller batches and keeping them in the fridge may solve the mold issue. When I first started to research DIY organic body care products, I found that even those with the USDA seal were not always truthful, natural and organic so I decided to make my own.
In ignorance I put the MSM into my first meal of green juice after I came back from shopping and gagged it down. I didn’t want to waste the juice so I toughed it out. I now slam it down and chase it with lemon or lime juice diluted in water. Even putting it into a smoothie won’t help. The citrus helps tremedously and takes the taste away.“The Miracle of MSM – The Natural Solution for Pain”
Co Authored by Stanley W Jacob MD., Ronald M Lawrence MD., and Martin Zukker.
Both Dr Jacob and Dr Lawrence are members of the International Association for the Study of Pain with many years experience of the clinical use of MSM.
Dr Lawrence is the Assistant Clinical Professor of the UCLA School of Medicine and former Physician for the American Olympic Sports team.
2. General information on MSM Gels / Creams and Lotions
Pure MSM can be applied topically (as a Gel / Cream or Lotion).
You can buy ready made MSM creams and lotions on the web from a variety of companies however:
a). They tend to be expensive.
b). Most of the really good ones seem to be in the USA so you also have to pay the extra shipping if ordering from the UK.
The page below shows how to:
Make your own MSM Gel / cream / lotion – Easily and cheaply
MSM is non allergenic so no matter which recipe you use below, always rub a small amount of your finished product on to a small area and leave for several hours to make absolutely sure it suits you individually.
Important – for the recipe below use
99.9% Pure New Horizons MSM Crystal Flakes.
DO NOT USE
Impure or animal grades or MSM containing fillers, flow agents or additives !
MSM / Aloe Vera Gel:
The easiest, quickest and probably the most effective recipe of them all!
Non greasy and absorbs in to the skin and tissues extremely rapidly)
Note: Because you are making it yourself, you won’t be adding preservatives (like most manufacturers do) so it’s best to make 100mls at a time – that way you can keep making it freshly and it won’t have a chance to spoil.
All you need is:
- Pure Aloe Vera Gel – 100mls (or more if you want to make more)
- MSM Crystal Flakes – 15 grams for every 100mls of Aloe Vera Gel)
(Note: 3 x rounded teaspoons of Crystal Flakes = approx 15 grams)
Method:
1). Put 100mls (or more) of pure Aloe Vera Gel in a container or mixing bowl. (=it’s equal to 3.4oz.)
2). Add approx 15 grams of MSM (3 x rounded teaspoons of Crystal Flakes)
If you want to make more, simply add 15g of MSM for every 100mls of Aloe Vera Gel you use.
Note:
Don’t add more than approx 15grams of MSM for each 100mls of Aloe Vera Gel you use -
Why? Not that it’s dangerous or anything, its simply that if you add too much, it will become a saturated solution i.e. the MSM won’t dissolve and will re-crystallise and become gritty to use !
3). Mix with a fork or spoon and leave for about 30 mins. The MSM will dissolve naturally in the Aloe Vera Gel. (Note: Use an electric hand blender if you want it to dissolve really quickly)
Both pure MSM and Pure Aloe Vera are non allergenic so are usually suitable for even the most sensitive skin types, however, always rub a small amount on a small area of skin and leave for several hours to make absolutely sure it suits you.
Use: As often as you wish.
Storage: Store in a sealed container (Use a well washed out old cream tub).
Storage: Store in a cupboard at room temperature.
MSM Cream / Lotion
Important
In the recipe below, you are going to add MSM to a shop bought cream or lotion of your choice so if you have sensitive skin, choose a cream or lotion that you know suits your skin!
Notes:
You will have noticed that many shop bought creams and lotions are white. This is because when you blend oil with water it emulsifies and turns white.
Basically if a cream or lotion is white it means that you will be able to add a little more water along with the vital ingredient MSM !
Note: don’t try to add MSM directly to a cream without first dissolving it in water Why? – Simply because it won’t dissolve and ends up gritty !!!
Go to your local shop or drug store – Super Drug in the UK has some great economically priced creams and lotions. Select one that you personally like the smell of, the thicker the better as you are gong to dilute it slightly !
Note - You are going to make a cream / lotion that contains 15% MSM (The amount recommended by the MSM Doctors).
Important - Without solvents it’s difficult to raise the concentration of MSM above 15%. If you put too much MSM in your cream it will re-crystallise and feel gritty when you rub it on – so stick to around 15% or slightly less.
This simply means that for every 100mls of cream you have, you need to add approx 15g of MSM.
If you don’t have any scales, a rounded teaspoon of MSM weighs approx 5 grams
Examples:
For 100mls of cream add 15grams (approx 3 rounded teaspoons of MSM)
For 200mls of cream add 30grams (approx 6 rounded teaspoons of MSM)
For 400mls of cream add 60 grams (approx 12 rounded teaspoons of MSM)
Method:
1. Put 100mls of Cream or lotion in a mixing bowl or container.
2. Place the appropriate amount of MSM into a cup.
3. Add about 2 tablespoons of boiling water. (Don’t worry, MSM is a mineral not a vitamin so it’s properties are not affected or denatured in any way by heat, even at extremely high temperatures.
4. Cover the cup and place in a microwave for about 10 seconds. Check that the crystal flakes have completely dissolved, if not, repeat for another 10 seconds.
5. When fully dissolved, slowly add to the cream and stir very thoroughly.
You now have your very own MSM rich cream – if you added too much water it will be a lotion!
How to Use
Rub into the affected area as often as you wish. For best results take MSM Crystal Flakes, capsules or tablets daily as a supplement.
M says, I wonder if aloe vera gel would stop a headache since it has salicylic acid in it.”
Great idea, M! You could rub MSM cream on the temples and the site of pain!

Pain can serve a protective function by letting one know that something is wrong. Resolving the underlying problem, when possible is the best way to eliminate pain. The brain responds to pain by producing morphine-like hormones known as endorphins. Besides drugs, there are other ways to stimulate endorphin production.
Dietary Recommendations
The amino acid, tryptophan (found in avocados, bananas, grapefruit, nuts, seeds, papayas, peaches, and tomatoes) encourages production of the calming neurotransmitter, serotonin. Particularly beneficial foods for pain include broccoli, cauliflower, winter squashes, sesame and flax seeds. Strawberries contain natural salicylates, and are cooling and anti-inflammatory. Enzymes, present in unheated foods, reduce inflammation, which is often a factor in pain.Herbs and Supplements for Pain Relief
Herbs that help pain can be classified in several ways. Analgesics help allay pain when used internally without affecting consciousness. Anesthetics numb existing pain either locally or generally. Anodynes are sedating and help keep pain from being transmitted. Antispasmodics relax muscle spasms. Sedatives promote rest and peace.Cayenne pepper stimulates endorphin production and is an anti-inflammatory agent. Topically it is used diluted in salves, as it blocks transmission of substance P, which transports pain messages to brain.
Corydalis root, a relative of Poppy helps relieve pain from traumatic injury. Corydalis binds with opium receptors in the body and slows down the breakdown of choline. It is analgesic, antispasmodic and sedative.
Cramp Bark is an analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and sedative. It can calm menstrual cramps, rheumatism and spasms of legs and lower back.
Feverfew herb inhibits certain inflammatory type hormones known as prostaglandins and prevents blood platelet aggregation (clumping together). Used on a regular basis it helps prevent migraines, relieve arthritis and menstrual cramps. Feverfew is anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic.
Ginger root is warming and improves circulation. It can improve the pain of arthritis, backache, and menstrual cramps. Chew a piece of fresh root for sore throat. Ginger is analgesic and anti-inflammatory.
Hops strobiles, a relative of Marijuana, are sedating to the nervous system. They calm cramps, insomnia, restlessness, stomachache and stress. Hops is an anodyne, antispasmodic, and sedative.
Kava kava root, enjoyed by many tropical island natives is a skeletal and muscle relaxant. It improves anxiety, cramps, gout, insomnia, neuralgia, pain and rheumatism. It is an analgesic, antispasmodic, and sedative.
Passionflower, doesn’t make you more passionate, but slows the breakdown of neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine. Try it for cramps, headache, insomnia, muscle spasms, neuralgia, shingles and stress. It is anodyne, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic and sedative.
Skullcap herb sedates the brain and spinal column and encourages endorphin production. It is used for arthritis, delirium, emotional trauma, headache, insomnia, neuralgia, and restlessness. It is antispasmodic and sedative.
Valerian root is a smooth muscle and skeletal relaxant. Try it for cramps, headache, insomnia, neuralgia, shingles, stress and trauma. Valerian is anodyne, antispasmodic, and sedative.
White Willow bark contains salicin; one of the original aspirin compounds and is a traditional herb for arthritis, backache, gout, headache, joint inflammation, migraine, and general pain. It is an analgesic, anodyne, and anti-inflammatory.
Vitamin B-1 and calcium raise one’s pain threshold.
Vitamins C and E are necessary for the production of endorphins.
Magnesium can help relax muscle spasms.
DLPA is made from the essential amino acid, phenylalanine. DLPA works by inhibiting the enzymes that destroy endorphins so that the naturally occurring endorphins can survive longer. DLPA helps relieve chronic pain, yet does not block the nerve transmission of short-term acute pain. Although DLPA is considered to be very safe, it should not be used with MAO inhibiting drugs, during pregnancy or by phenylketonurics.Exercise and Bodywork
Exercise and acupuncture help stimulate endorphin production. So effective is acupuncture, that in the Orient it is sometimes used by itself as anesthesia during surgeries.Yoga, Rolfing, massage, chiropractic and osteopathic work may all help relieve pain. Check out the book Somatics by Thomas Hanna. Practice deep slow breathing. Visualize inhaling healing light and exhaling pain out of your body. The color blue is considered anti-inflammatory. Some have found that exposure to blue light; visualizing breathing in the color blue, or simply wearing blue helps them to experience less pain. Tighten the area around where the pain is centered and then release can help to alleviate achiness.
Some find it helpful to write about their experience with pain in a journal. This may even help you to find clues such as “pain is lessened on the days where you take a walk:” or eat all raw,” for example. Art can be used to describe your pain. Is it like a biting dog or burning flames? Draw or paint it. In your mind’s eye, muzzle the dog or pour water on the fire. Then draw the images that may soothe pain and visualize them giving relief.
Topical Applications
Most throbbing pain will be best relieved by a cold application, such as an ice pack or cool compress. If it hurts too much to touch, cold is usually your best bet. Sharp pain is often remedied by heat such as a hot water bottle or hot herbal compress. A hot bath in which pain relieving herb teas or Epsom salts (1 pound) has been added may also be of benefit.
Before putting anything on the area get a sense of what is appropriate. Heat or cold? Heavy or light?Things that can be used topically include castor oil, charcoal poultices, hot ginger tea, hot salt packs, or cold mashed cucumbers. Essential oils can be used in topical liniments to help relieve pain. Among the most pain relieving are birch, cajeput, camphor, chamomile, eucalyptus, frankincense, geranium, ginger, lavender, peppermint, rosemary and wintergreen.
Since many of the drugs available for pain and when used for extended periods can be habit forming, cause fatigue and mental fogginess, and even constipation, it may well be worth exploring alternatives to. Whenever possible, correct the cause of pain. Om shanti. Thank you for teaching me.
and from Mapuana-
“Aloha Kakahiaka Kakou/All, Mahalo nui loa Mary for the tip on MSM. Several months ago I first learned of DMSO and MSM and how it was used on animals and humans. From your great results and encouragement, I decided to research it more and try it so I purchased some on Sat. My left knee had been throbbing, swollen and painful for several days. As soon as I got home from shopping, I drank the suggested dose of 1/2 tsp. mixed in warm water 2 x a day, and the relief was immediate!! I than applied some of the solution on the affected area and it certainly helped. Today, 3 days later, I have not experienced any more pain. The results also includes more energy. Thanks so much Mary, I’m am so very grateful to you.”

Dr. Jim, RawDoctors.com
Results of a study of the Raw Vegan Lifestyle in Finland:
We tested the effects of an uncooked vegan diet, rich in lactobacilli, in rheumatoid arthritis patients randomized into diet and control groups.
The intervention group experienced subjective relief of rheumatic symptoms during intervention. A return to an omnivorous diet aggravated symptoms.
Half of the patients experienced adverse effects (nausea, diarrhea) during the diet and stopped the experiment prematurely. Indicators of rheumatic disease activity did not differ statistically between groups.
The positive subjective effect experienced by the patients was not discernible in the more objective measures of disease activity (Health Assessment Questionnaire, duration of morning stiffness, pain at rest and pain on movement). However, a composite index showed a higher number of patients with 3-5 improved disease activity measures in the intervention group. Stepwise regression analysis associated a decrease in the disease activity (measured as change in the Disease Activity Score, DAS) with lactobacilli-rich and chlorophyll-rich drinks, increase in fibre intake, and no need for gold, methotrexate or steroid medication (R2=0.48, P=0.02).
The results showed that an uncooked vegan diet, rich in lactobacilli, decreased subjective symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Large amounts of living lactobacilli consumed daily may also have positive effects on objective measures of rheumatoid arthritis.
