QUESTIONS OF NUTRITION – NATURAL WHOLEFOOD 3

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 05:35:37 +0000

Interestingly, more primitive people living near industrialised communities are not affected by many of their neighbours’ diseases, even though the causative agents could attack them just as well. I am referring especially to multiple sclerosis, although here is as yet no conclusive evidence that it is caused by micro-organisms. But similar diseases cannot gain a foothold among such people either, simply because they live more naturally and therefore have sufficient resistance to germs and other causes of disease.

Nothing but wholefood offers real sustenance and protection and this is shown by the example we have in whole rice. Everything offered by nature consists of an integral whole and if only a fraction of it is removed, whatever it maybe, we are deprived of something that would otherwise provide us with complete nutrition. The Creator meant cereal to be a complete formula and to benefit fully from it we should prepare our food from the whole grain.

VARIOUS DIETS AND TREATMENTS – MOLKOSAN (WHEY CONCENTRATE) (UTILITY)

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 05:29:22 +0000

Molkosan has helped a great deal in this struggle. If you want to assist the digestion, add a teaspoon or tablespoon of Molkosan to a glass of mineral water and drink this at mealtimes. Of course, you do not have to take mineral water, ordinary water will do just as well.

Molkosan regulates the secretion of gastric acid; it reduces an excess of acid and increases its quantity when there is a lack of it. Molkosan also benefits diabetics because the lactic ferments stimulate the pancreas. Thus, it is without a doubt one of the best drinks these patients could wish for.

Regular use of Molkosan will lower the blood sugar level and, at the same time, reduce the quantity of sugar in the urine. Of course, an appropriate natural diet must be observed too. A little patience is necessary, but after several weeks a positive change for the better will be noticed.

VARIOUS DIETS AND TREATMENTS – SITZ BATHS AND THEIR MEDICINAL VALUE (NEEDLES)

Hay flowers (hayseed) and juniper needles can also be added to a hip bath. Or if you can obtain some eucalyptus leaves, they too are a good addition. Some of the aromatic herbs are stimulating while others have sedative properties. You will have to make your choice according to the intended effect. Even oat straw can be a beneficial addition, although it is often considered useless as a medicine. Whatever the case, a hip bath is more efficacious when a herbal infusion is added than if just water is used. It would be a pity to take so much time and trouble preparing a sitz bath if full use of the herbs as remedies were not made at the same time.

One or two hip baths should be taken every week. In cases of illness and necessity they can be taken more frequently. The time spent in the bath may vary from twenty to thirty minutes, and the water must be kept at a constant temperature of 37°C (98.6°F), which is accomplished by pouring off some of the water and replacing it with hot water. It is recommended that a hip bath be taken in the evening before going to bed, because you should not step out into the cold air afterwards or sit around in the house to cool off. A warm room is essential for such a bath, as a cold room absorbs too much body heat. Additionally, it is advisable to wrap up well with warm towels for extra warmth. A reduction in body temperature or even beginning to feel chilly is detrimental when taking a bath.

SEASONINGS – CULINARY HERBS ARE MEDICINES – GARLIC (ALLIUM SATIVUM)

Today, tourists visiting the great pyramids of Egypt, seated unsteadily on the back of a camel or in a sleek automobile, are probably unaware that the overseers of the pharaohs were not only responsible for the construction of these great architectural masterpieces but they faced the additional problem of feeding a great army of workmen. Herodotus, the Greek historian, wrote that during the time of the building of the Cheops pyramid 1,600 silver talents (about 3.5 million pounds sterling) worth of garlic, onions and radishes were purchased to keep up the workers’ strength. The Egyptians considered garlic and onions as sacred plants, to which they attributed all manner of magical powers able to ward off evil spirits and the effects of their wicked deeds. The Greeks and Romans also used garlic as a medicine and for seasoning. From the Bible we learn about the prominence the Jews gave to it, and their constant use of garlic for thousands of years is perhaps partly responsible for the endurance and tenacity of this people. The Semitic people seem to suffer much less than others from hardening of the arteries and poor functioning of the lymphatic glands. The Turks and Russians make much use of garlic to season their food and their older people are less likely to suffer from high blood pressure because they eat it regularly. Many people, however, do not like the pungent smell of garlic.

WILD FRUITS AND BERRIES – SEA BUCKTHORN (HIPPOPHAE RHAMNOIDES) – INTRODUCTION

Vitamin Ñ has to be taken daily since the body can store only minute quantities. It is found in the endocrine glands, the suprarenal and pituitary glands, and there is no doubt that it is essential to the normal functioning of these important glands.

As a rule, cancer patients show a definite lack of this vitamin. It is therefore recommended that people with a predisposition to cancer and those who are victims already, increase their intake of foods that are rich in vitamin C.

To ensure good health, the daily intake of vitamin Ñ should not be less than 50 mg, and it is better if it can be obtained from such natural sources as sea buckthorn, raspberries, lemon juice and rose hip and barberry puree.
