Disease Prevention Program

A discourse on the limitations of physical yoga and the role of karma and prevention in health.

"Therefore, we cannot claim that we will not get cancer. These things happen quickly. We have to accept destiny, knowing we cannot always get rid of it. It is karma."

"If you consume this, it is said to be a nectar for you... This is the first thing you should do; it is a very good prevention."

The speaker examines claims that yoga can cure cancer, citing the case of a dedicated practitioner who died of the disease to illustrate the limits of physical practice and the role of karma. He shares an anecdote about a woman whose illness led her to prayer and recovery, noting it as an individual case. The discourse then shifts to detailed preventative advice, recommending a specific regimen of Haṭha Yoga cleansings, a diet rich in turmeric, lemon, and neem, and a daily immune-boosting paste recipe.

Some yogīs claim they can cure cancer through yoga practice. Cancer is increasing in human populations, but it is not exclusive to humans; it can also occur in animals. This brings us to a crucial point: if a cow has a disease like cancer, it can enter the milk or the meat. Even aggressive therapies like chemotherapy do not destroy all these pathogens. When you cook the meat, they may still not be destroyed, and thus they can travel into our bodies through cheese, yogurt, milk, and meat. Other causes include pollution, such as petrol fumes we inhale, and the many different chemicals used in various forms. There are numerous causes for getting cancer. In Slovakia, there was a man who practiced Haṭha Yoga very strictly, including all exercises and prāṇāyāmas. Unfortunately, he died from stomach cancer. Který praktikoval velice poctivě cvičení, cvičil jogu, ale bohužel umřel na rakovinu. He was doing Kunjal Kriyā, Netī, Śaṅkha Prakṣālana. Dělal všechny očistné techniky: Kunjal Kriyā, Netī, Śaṅkha Prakṣālana. Therefore, we cannot claim that we will not get cancer. Takže my nemůžeme nikdo z nás říct, že nedostaneme rakovinu. These things happen quickly. We have to accept destiny, knowing we cannot always get rid of it. It is karma; you have it, but you cannot necessarily get rid of it. Some people have fungus on their nails; they try everything but cannot eliminate it. If it is not easy to get rid of a physical fungus, how will you get rid of a karmic one? So, there is a karmic fungus too. Only through positive thinking, spiritual practice, and renunciation can we get rid of some destiny and karma. I heard a story from Chi-Chi about a lady in New York. I do not know how true it is. She had cancer and went to a doctor, repeating visits for a few years. She asked the doctor, "You are a doctor, can't you cure me?" She became increasingly agitated with each visit. You know how ladies can be when they fixate on an idea—though men are not much better, but this does not happen as often with men. Because women are so honest and clear in their desire, I need not elaborate; you women know. There is no difference between men and women, except anatomically and hormonally. She told the doctor, "Please help me. Or do you know anyone who can help me?" One day, the doctor lost his patience. This lady was a complete non-believer—no spirituality, no God, no rebirth, nothing. The man said, "Lady, even God cannot help you." Her face turned red. "What did you say, doctor? Even God cannot help? I am completely destroyed, and you will see that God will help me." She went home and prayed and prayed and prayed. The result was that she was cured of the cancer. She then opened a prayer center for curing cancer. So, that disease was good for her because it led her back to God. Takže ta nemoc byla dobrá pro ní, že se znovu vrátila, aby poznala Boha. Ale to jsou znovu individuální případy. Nejsou to obecné případy. My hledáme něco obecného. Telepathy. Again, it helps in individual cases. But not everyone can perform telepathy. However, modern science and technology have made it possible for everyone to do telepathy—meaning the telephone. You see? So, some technology is good. Regarding cancer, some yogīs claim they can cure it. They concentrate on two things: cleaning the body through Haṭha Yoga, inner cleanings like Netī, Dhautī, Kapālabhātī, and Bastrikā; and diet. For breakfast, eat sprouted seeds: mung, green soya, what you call brown moong is called Moth, and Chana, the black Chana, and Methi, mixed and sprouted. The sprout should be two to three centimeters long. Add lemon, black salt or rock salt (what you call Himalayan salt) according to taste, green chili or hot paprika. This is the breakfast, along with Neem and Tulasī ginger tea. Neem, Tulasī, and ginger, with lemon inside. Lemon is a blessing; we have this fruit, so try to consume as much as you can: lemons, turmeric, and lemon, ginger, and Tulasī, and Neem. If you consume this, it is said to be a nectar for you. So, in yoga, what they claim is that you have to work with your body a lot. You must have a good, strong Saṅkalpa (prayer) and change your diet. You may have less immunity; your body is not strong enough to fight against all the diseases that appear. This metastasis present in the body can be destroyed through lemon therapy and cleaned through purification; it will clean it out. Drink a lot of water. People suggest water infused with different kinds of semi-precious stones and crystals: white, yellow, red, pink, because there is a chemical process in that. Also, the water you drink should be filled in a copper pot. Every morning upon waking, drink at least half a liter of lukewarm water. This is the first thing you should do; it is a very good prevention. What I am telling you is prevention. Prevention is much better than treatment, but this prevention program can also cure certain diseases: Kapālabhātī and Bastrika. Practice five minutes of Kapālabhātī and ten minutes of Bastrika. Use a lot of haldi (turmeric). Consume at least five lemons a day. There are some small lemons with hardly ten drops, so that means at least five tablespoons of lemon juice through water, salad, or vegetables. Also, use very good apple vinegar. These things work against infections, diseases, and conditions like cancer. They clean the body and regenerate healthy tissues, strengthening the immune system. Please remember: ginger, either fresh or powder, is good. Tulsī leaves or Tulsī powder, and Neem powder. Half a teaspoon of Neem powder should enter your digestive system daily. One teaspoon of haldi should enter your digestive system. Five black peppers (powdered) should enter your digestive system. One tablespoon of honey should enter your digestive system in different quantities throughout the day: morning, lunchtime, evening. If you want something very tasty, mix: one tablespoon of honey, one teaspoon of turmeric, one teaspoon of ginger, half a teaspoon of Neem, a little powder of Tulsī, five black peppers (powdered), and one tablespoon of lemon juice. This mixes nicely; it is very tasty—bittersweet and sour. Just from listening, your mouth is full of juice. So it is bitter, sour, and sweet from honey, and hot from ginger and pepper. This you shall take. If you need a little salty taste, add a little black salt. I will repeat: one tablespoon of honey, one tablespoon of lemon juice, one teaspoon of ginger, one teaspoon of turmeric, just a quarter teaspoon of Tulsī, also a quarter teaspoon of Neem, five black peppers (powdered), and a quarter teaspoon of black salt. Did I forget something? No. Now, mix this well. Throughout the whole day, just take one spoon. This is for 24-hour nourishment. It will really increase or improve your immunity. Of course, practice a minimum of 27 rounds of what? Khatu Praṇām. Like one Sūryanamaskāra. Bastrika, Kapālabhātī, Agnisāra Kriyā, Naulī. This is especially for people who already have the problem. For those who do not, it is prevention. And, of course, avoid alcohol, avoid beer, avoid eggs, avoid cheese (except fresh cheese). If you can, try to get milk directly from farmers. Make sure the farmer does not give cortisone injections or artificial feed—only grass. This will truly help regenerate our body. Recording location: Czech Republic, Strilky, Weekend seminar
