Ишемическая болезнь сердца-Ischemic heart disease

This experience provides a strong argument in favour of changing over to whole cereals, including whole wheat and whole rye. It is incomprehensible how students who have seen films or experiments showing what happens to pigeons when they are fed on refined rice can continue to eat the very food that is responsible for such devastating results. They seem blind and thoughtless in the face of the evidence. Why spend time and effort in tireless research if the findings continue to be ignored by the consumer? Is it not strange that the consumer often prefers to take the consequences and become sick, rather than make a change in his diet?

Remember that natural rice, also known as unpolished, whole or brown rice, contains nine and a half times more minerals than the polished, refined kind. It is these minerals that are of vital importance to us. Observations have shown that whole rice contains substances that keep the blood vessels elastic for much longer and it is for this reason that Asians seldom suffer from hardening of the arteries and high blood pressure.

Whole or brown rice should be prepared in the same way as refined rice, only do not pour away the rice water. The rice should be soaked in as much water as it is able to absorb and cooked in as little water as it requires to soften without the grains sticking together. Then the nutritional elements will not be wasted or lost. Brown rice can be served in a number of ways, and many Chinese and Middle Eastern recipes are excellent for this purpose.

In my discussion on wheat and wholegrain bread I highlight the merits of wholegrain products and how the various cereals grown in different parts of the earth are a useful source of food that does not perish easily. It was only a few decades ago when researchers discovered that wheat germ is, in fact, an excellent remedy; this equally applies, of course, to wheat germ oil. Since more and more people are rejecting the use of chemical medicines, physicians, naturopaths and physiotherapists are ever more compelled to turn their attention to remedies that are made from basic materials as nature provides them. Many competent and skilled researchers have been studying the oils contained in cereal germs, and have found that the remedial effects of wheat germ oil are remarkable.

Some time later I learned about the regenerative and curative effects of hot water treatments as used in Japan. The temperature of their baths surpasses that of blood temperature, and it is interesting to note that rheumatism and cancer are seldom heard of where these hot water baths are taken regularly. Some researchers even claim that swollen tissue can be rehabilitated if the water is kept 2-3 degrees Celsius above normal body temperature (39-40°G102-104oF). And when the temperature is raised 4-5 degrees higher, that is, up to 41-42°C (105.8-107.6°F), tumours are changed and in time dissolved, according to these researchers.

It is possible that these claims are somewhat exaggerated; nevertheless, experience has shown that ‘baths of increasing temperature’ make a positive contribution in the treatment of tumours, especially when the effect is heightened by the use of appropriate herbs. Many a malignant ailment can be prevented by their use, and the prevention of frightening diseases such as cancer has become a great necessity in our time. The Nature Doctor has already given some good advice regarding the prevention of cancer and here we add the further recommendation that you take a prolonged bath or Schlenz bath once a week. Its prophylactic effect can help to maintain your health. However, you should not simply be satisfied with knowing these things without acting upon the knowledge. That would be of little use to you. You should rouse yourself and apply the recommended treatment on a regular basis.

Some of the cress varieties used for food are garden cress {Lepidium sativum), watercress {Nasturtium officinale), nasturtium {Tropaeo-lum majus) and alpine cress {Hutchinsia alpina). In all, about 90 different varieties are known in the temperate zones of the earth. Some are used for flavouring, and most of them have a medicinal effect, although varying in strength.

According to recent research, cress (like horseradish) contains a kind of penicillin and is a great help in improving mouth and intestinal bacteria. Having a modest content of iodine, cress is a dietary remedy for thyroid problems. It is recommended as a remedy for scrofula, and when taken regularly it will reduce an inherent tendency to skin eruptions. At the same time cress is good for kidney problems; in particular, it helps to prevent the formation of kidney stones.

Cress on its own makes a wholesome salad, but it should also be added to other salads. In fact, it is very important that we avail ourselves of its medicinal values by eating it regularly. If you are in the habit of preparing vegetable juices daily for the sake of their vitamins, always add a little cress. The popular seasoning salt Trocomare contains various cresses among its ingredients which largely account for its fine aroma and taste.

Homoeopathic Aconitum and Belladonna should be in everyone’s medicine chest, for they are more frequently used than any other remedy for first aid. However, we do not recommend Aconitum tincture as it is dangerous, even though some doctors prescribe it for neuralgia caused by a cold, for gout and for rheumatism. There are other, safer remedies available that are just as effective. Aconitum is a mydriatic, that is, it dilates the pupil if it is put in the eye. Belladonna has the same property due to its atropine content. To achieve the best results, Aconitum should be given in the fourth decimal potency (4x), for stronger persons perhaps in the third (3x); five drops in a glass of water taken at hourly intervals will be enough.
