WHERE TO FIND PEACE – INTRODUCTION
Posted on April 9, 2009, under Herbal.
It is increasingly difficult to find peace in certain areas and lands, or only in such remote and inaccessible places that might frighten even those who love it. But in those areas where it still displays its beauty and serenity it should be taken advantage of as the wonderful recuperative remedy or tonic it really is. If you have not yet come to know peace, do not ignorantly shut it out or reject it. A good opportunity to become familiar with it is in the wintertime.
Imagine, for a moment, that you are walking home alone one wonderfully clear starry night. The delicate hoarfrost on the shrubs and hedges glistens in the cool moonlight. The snow under your feet sparkles and in the stillness around you the crunching of your shoes sounds almost deafening. Without thinking, you stop to take in the peacefulness and the glistening beauty. You feel as if you are in another world. No sound disturbs the enchanting silence and stillness. Have you ever before realised the beauty of the birch trees in their white winter coats? It is as if you are seeing everything for the first time.

HOUSING PROBLEMS AND SICKNESS – GENERAL INFORMATION
Posted on April 9, 2009, under Herbal.
Years ago, rich people who were able to build large houses and mansions had a peculiar custom that helps us to understand why it is necessary to let the humidity and chemical processes going on in the new building settle down for some time before taking up residence there. For the sake of their own health, they allowed poor people to live in the new building rent-free during the first year. Even if the house was built of natural and quarried stone, this precaution was considered necessary in the interests of health. Of course, it was the health of the rich that benefited; the poor derived only financial benefit.

MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS – EFFORTS TO RETRIEVE THE LOSS (PART 1)
Posted on April 9, 2009, under Herbal.
Such reflections have caused some far-sighted people in various countries of the earth to reclaim at least something from the sea. We only have to think of the different kinds of seaweed that grow in it, their rich mineral content being most beneficial. In the first place, seaweed should be used to fertilise the soil, in order to return to the soil some of the substances that it lacks. In California seaweed has been used for quite some time as a fertiliser, for cattle feed and as a food supplement, sometimes even for medicines. Since the 1930s sea-foam and seaweed have been used for fertilising
in Holland. And for centuries farmers in France have been spreading a calcium-rich seaweed onto their fields.
The success of these farmers caught the attention of scientific circles and Professor Boucher reported amazing things about the effectiveness of a reddish-coloured seaweed powder, known as ‘CalmagoP, that has been used as a fertiliser on the isles of Glenan, south of Brittany.

WHOLE WHEAT AND OTHER CEREALS – CONCLUSION
Posted on April 9, 2009, under Herbal.
Whole rye and barley can be used in the same way, although they are not quite as palatable as wheat. Seasoned with fine culinary herbs, the soaked grains can be put through the mincer and made into rissoles. There are many possible methods of preparation and the resourceful cook will never be at a loss to find and make many cereal dishes that are tasty and healthy. A dish made with whole wheat is an energy food for growing children and ravenous youths, as well as for those who do heavy work. Add vegetables and fresh salad and you have a combination of foods that provides the basis for first-class nutrition. Since it is amazing what strange combinations of food are sometimes dreamed up, I would like to stress that you should never eat a salad or vegetables together with a sweet wholegrain dish; it is better to combine sweet things with stewed fruit or grated raw apple muesli and cream. For a good effect, grate some fresh fruit and mix it in with the compote. A cup of rose hip tea also goes well with a sweet wholegrain dish.

VITAMINS – CARROTS IN WINTER
Posted on April 9, 2009, under Herbal.
In the winter our diet should include carrots every day, either in the form of a good fresh salad or a glass of freshly prepared raw juice.
An abundant crop of carrots provides the basis for a beneficial use of the surplus. Let me add that we grow our carrots organically. When harvested, we produce juice and condense it under vacuum at a low temperature. The result is our concentrated juice product known as Biocarottin. Among its other valuable applications, if Biocarottin is taken together with Papayasan it is possible to keep one’s intestines free from worms. Biocarottin has also proved its worth as a supplement in a liver diet, since the goodness of carrots is even more readily available in the concentrated juice. So why take chemical medicines, which are unnatural and foreign to our system, when nature has given us so many good raw materials that are of real benefit to our health?

THE PANCREAS – BREAKFAST
Posted on April 7, 2009, under Herbal.
Take your pick from buttermilk, sour milk or cereal coffee (Bambu Coffee Substitute). For a change, you can sometimes have yogurt.
Make sandwiches using rye bread, flake bread, wholemeal bread or crispbread. There is also a special diet crispbread available for diabetics. Spread the bread with soft white cheese, maybe ‘Gervais’ fermented skimmed milk cheese or cottage cheese.
If you prefer fruit for breakfast, follow my second menu:
Bambu coffee with cream, fruit muesli with rye flakes, whole rice flakes or All Bran, a well-known commercial cereal product. Use only fresh fruit in season. Bilberries (blueberries), blackcurrants and apples are particularly beneficial. Add some sesame seeds or grated almonds, but no sugar. When the berry season is over, use natural fruit juices with no additives.

TAPEWORMS – DIET
Posted on April 7, 2009, under Herbal.
Because international travel has now become a way of life, yet another danger presents itself. In our travels we come into contact with strangers and their animals. This is an area in which there is always a possibility of risking infection through the transmission of eggs and parasites. Being aware of this danger should make us more conscious of the need for meticulous cleanliness and hygiene.
Getting rid of a tapeworm is not as simple as one might think. I once helped a young man lose one by means of a diet and special tapeworm medication, although previous treatment with chemical medicines had done him no good whatsoever. My instructions for the diet and the remedy were as follows.
Diet: No meat, but plenty of vegetables and fruit, especially raw carrots, no bread, no potatoes, and nothing made of flour. For lunch: a stew made up of lentils, carrots, onion and garlic. Cook all the ingredients together in one pot. It may be seasoned with a little fresh horseradish. Twice a day a small dish of sauerkraut (4—5 forkfuls). In the morning, on an empty stomach, a handful of peeled pumpkin seeds and a handful of unsweetened cranberries, chewed well. Follow this up an hour later with one or two cups of tapeworm tea, without sugar. It is also helpful to sip a glass of garlic milk as well.

A TYPICAL DAILY PROGRAMME – WHEAT GERM
Posted on April 7, 2009, under Herbal.
Another simple method, particularly for stimulating the ovaries, is to take various foods that contain vitamin E. The most important of these is wheat germ. There are some people who will not eat wheat germ for fear of getting fat, because it has also been recommended to thin people who wish to gain weight. Women need not worry about this, since wheat germ and its vitamin E content only regulate the function of the ovaries. In fact, wheat germ stimulates their function in the case of fat people and reduces their overactivity in the case of thin people; in this way it actually helps the obese to lose weight and the thin to put it on. In addition, wheat germ contains other valuable nutrients, such as vegetable protein, phosphates and natural sugar, all of which have a good effect on the body without the danger of causing an abnormal weight increase. So if you suffer from obesity, do not hesitate to eat wheat germ, for it will not increase your weight but regulate or control it.

THE URINARY BLADDER – ADDITIONAL TREATMENT (PROSTATE TROUBLE)
Posted on April 7, 2009, under Herbal.
It is not always possible to cure prostate problems, in fact, there are cases, especially with cancer of the prostate, where treatment is difficult and sometimes in vain. Operating is not always the answer either, and if it can be prevented, so much the better. In cases of benign enlargement of the prostate good results have been achieved with Prostasan, a preparation containing Sabal, Staphisa-gria, Populus, Echinacea and Solidago, in conjunction with herbal steam baths. However, when urination has become easy again, do not take it for granted that you are now rid of your problem. Prostate conditions are seldom cured so completely that they do not recur sooner or later.
Prostate trouble is not unlike hardening of the arteries in that it is a condition brought on by the aging of the body and since this process is unavoidable you must remember that removing the problem once does not mean that it cannot crop up again. By using the appropriate remedies and precautions you can support nature in its own healing efforts and prevent the trouble from recurring as far as is possible.

MODERN HEART POISONS – STRESS – PACE AND HASTE (SHORT RUN)
Posted on April 7, 2009, under Herbal.
A similar tendency that should also be mentioned here is that of senselessly abusing our energies by allowing too little time to get to our place of work. We should always leave the house early enough so that it is not necessary to make a dash for the bus or train. Even a short run with a briefcase, bag or basket can be more taxing on the heart than most people realise. Obese people should be especially careful and remember the warning contained in the old proverb, ‘Haste makes waste’. It has become a habit with many to rush around as if they have no time to lose, even though the gained time may be wasted later on in an idle telephone conversation or an insignificant chat with a neighbour. This is really most unwise, for the heart is not like a modern engine that can be accelerated from a standing start to 60 m.p.h. in seconds; the heart cannot be driven at top speed without suffering some damage.
