TELEVISION AND HEALTH – SHORTER WORKING HOURS – NO SOLUTION

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 08:26:16 +0000

Working shorter hours tends to cause more stress because less time is available, and more concentration and haste has to be packed in. The change to a five-day week implemented some years ago has, in the main, failed its original purpose. The working week lost another day so that more effort had to be crammed into five days, resulting in greater fatigue which, together with the increased tension, is difficult to shake off and the additional day of rest cannot be enjoyed fully.

In addition to work there are usually too many other obligations, not to mention the diverse opportunities to engage in new and exciting activities, crowding out the intended relaxation. Years ago, people came home from work and were happy to sit on a bench in front of the house and relax until it grew dark.

MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS – AN EXAMPLE OF POISONING THROUGH CHEMICAL SPRAYS (TREATMENT)

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 08:12:41 +0000

I recently visited the family of a farmer whom I knew through friends. It was a chance visit, and the farmer’s wife, who had heard of me and had also read some of my publications, took advantage of the opportunity to talk to me about her little daughter’s condition. She described the girl’s symptoms, and how she usually lay in her bed quite listless and apathetic, and it occurred to me immediately that this was probably some form of poisoning. The little girl had been treated with penicillin in hospital, yet her condition had deteriorated. It so happened that I knew the senior consultant of the hospital personally and would say that he is an excellent physician, but unfortunately he was looking for the pathological cause in the wrong places.

I asked the unhappy mother about the circumstances she could still remember from before her little daughter fell ill and whether she could think of any influences that might have been responsible.

OILS AND FATS – REASONABLE EVALUATION CRITERIA

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 07:59:47 +0000

The Creator made all natural products with a rich and varied content. All are extremely valuable in their original composition. But man has often overlooked this wisdom and learned little or nothing from it. In this connection I remember one of Professor Kollath’s expressions: ‘Let nature be natural.’

However, it has been quite a while since nature’s produce was left simple and natural; instead it has been violated by refining, denaturing, devaluing, colouring and flavouring, often with chemical additives. While enumerating these violations, we cannot help thinking of Kurt Lenzer who speaks in his writings about ‘poison in the food’.

RAW JUICES, MEDICINAL JUICES – CHANCES OF A CURE 2

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 07:45:18 +0000

Since these juices, with the exception of carrot juice, are somewhat unpalatable on their own, try mixing them in thick minestrone soup. The vegetable flavours will neutralise the strong taste of the raw juice. As pointed out already, add the juice only after the soup has been taken off the heat, so as not to lose the medicinal value. If this should make the soup lukewarm, gently warm the juice in a double boiler before adding it to the soup. You will have to eat this soup with the raw juices twice a day and between meals take an additional 200 ml of juice (about 8 fl. oz). In grave cases, 400-500 ml (just under a pint) of raw juice daily is absolutely essential.

Proponents of nature cures and nutritional therapy were advocating the use of raw juices long before scientific research began to confirm their value. Patients should remember the proven effects and be willing to persevere with the treatment until the hoped-for results are obtained.

It is amazing that it was in the United States where these drastic methods of treatment were developed and practised, for it is there, more than anywhere else, that poor nutrition has led to such modern diseases of civilisation.

Patients elsewhere should show the same perseverance in adhering to a raw juice diet that may be relatively unpalatable but will eventually lead to rehabilitation. Mere taste is a small price to pay for health restored!

QUESTIONS OF NUTRITION – WHAT ABOUT THE WHEAT GRAIN? (CONCLUSION)

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 07:31:24 +0000

Bread and cakes can also be made with germinated wheat, or rye, barley, or any other cereal. Bread and muesli prepared in this way are far more nourishing than anything made from flour that has been stored, and that you may have to store even longer before use. The oxygen in the air is harmless as long as the grain remains whole, but as soon as it is milled into flour it begins to destroy many important nutrients, especially the highly active ferments. If used fresh, and if possible germinated, the goodness of the whole grain is available to us.

So, if you eat wheat raw, either in muesli or using any other method of preparation, you will have at your disposal an energy food that contains all the important vitamins and minerals of the grain in their complete and unchanged form.

It is amazing to see the effect of such a wholefood on sick people. They derive infinitely greater benefits from it than from the most expensive remedies. Natural food is without doubt the best medicine for every nature-oriented person.
