TELEVISION AND HEALTH – THE NEED TO RELAX

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 08:26:07 +0000

If there is one thing the busy person finds difficult to achieve, it is the ability to relax correctly. Whether we are conscious of it or not, our modern technological age transmits its restless rhythm to everyone. Whatever we do has to be done quickly because we have so many other things waiting. The modern procedure of concentrating on one job enables a person to become skilled and adept in his field, but at the same time it is apt to kill one’s interest in the whole thing to be made or done – the overall picture. The individual does not, or will not, see how his part fits in with the rest, so that the immediate consequence of his attitude is an unsatisfactory condition of joyless existence. Where interest in work and verve are missing, the job itself will not prevent boredom from encroaching into our lives, and we feel that our free time must be arranged so that it is more eventful, rather than used to provide wholesome relaxation.

It is different, however, with the person who enjoys his work. The time will fly, instead of drag by and he will derive pleasure from what he is doing. However, because of his good disposition such a person may be asked to fill in here and there and, in time, he will become overloaded. So beware!

MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS – CHEMICAL SPRAYS ARE A HEALTH HAZARD

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 08:12:29 +0000

I received another account from a woman who had observed similar reactions in the case of an old friend in her eighties. This old lady had been bedridden for twelve years following a stroke, paralysed from the spine to her chest. For eight weeks her organs failed to function, but then her digestion returned to normal. Still, the patient could not eat berries or stone fruit brought by her visitors, because half an hour after eating such fruit she began to feel a tightness and dragging pain in the bowels and experience flatulence, followed by diarrhoea. This condition lasted for about one or two days and the patient, understandably, felt miserable all the while. So she avoided all fruit which she felt might have been sprayed or fertilised with chemicals. The point was that she experienced no problems whatsoever if she ate cherries, strawberries, plums, grapes, currants, raspberries or blackberries that had been organically grown and not treated with chemicals. But whenever she did experience some disturbance, the cause was always the same – chemical sprays and fertilisers.

The lady who reported these findings had read an article in our magazine Gesundheits-Nachrichten (Health News) dealing with ‘sprayed grapes’ and was now sure of her observation and conclusion. She was glad to have discerned correctly the cause of her friend’s problems, even though she had been laughed at by some, who were of the opinion that the patient had simply been imagining these things.

Although the above causes of poisoning can be avoided if proper care is exercised, there are still other, undiscovered, sources that can be even more disastrous because their potential danger is not discernible.

OILS AND FATS – A TOPICAL QUESTION 2

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 07:59:37 +0000

In contrast are the interesting findings of one scientist, who observed that the composition of the fat molecules of olive oil compare the closest to those found in mother’s milk. Hence it could be assumed that olive oil is probably the most acceptable kind for human consumption, because the body will find it the easiest to process for assimilation. Whether this researcher’s view is right or wrong, his findings make us sit up, listen and think. It should also prevent us in the future from being too quick and one-sided in judging a natural product. The benefits of a single constituent, in this case the value of unsaturated fatty acids, should never lead us to ignore the others – which may prove equally important in the end.

RAW JUICES, MEDICINAL JUICES – CHANCES OF A CURE

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 07:45:10 +0000

With this diet it is possible to cure a stomach ulcer within a month. Gout and rheumatic complaints will improve within two or three months and then slowly disappear. Afterwards, continue with the diet but have only fruit every second day. Avoid sausages, cold meats, pork, canned foods, white sugar and white flour and everything made from these. In fact, you would do well to forget these items altogether. You may start eating meat again after six months, but only veal or beef.

If you follow the suggested diet consistently, you will find that even the most stubborn case of gout will eventually disappear. Of course, you can back up the healing process by means of natural remedies. Wallwosan or Symphosan, applied externally, will give relief; take Petasites internally, also Nephrosolid to stimulate the kidneys. For gastric ulcers Gastronol is recommended, to be taken after meals. But never lose sight of the fact that the cure depends fundamentally on the raw juices.

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

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 07:31:14 +0000

A high-energy food can be obtained by keeping the wheat moist and warm so it can germinate. According to the temperature, the wheat takes about two or three days before it begins to sprout; then use the sprouted wheat in the same way you would the ungerminated kernels. Germinated wheat is good for the blood and is a tonic for the whole body. Let the sprouts grow 2-5 mm (up to about Va inch) long, but remember to put the grains in a warm place so that they are encouraged to germinate. Do not add more water than the grains can soak up. On the other hand, instead of soaking the wheat in water, you could spread it on a wet cloth; the sprouts will then be greenish in colour. These green sprouts are necessary for people suffering from anaemia, who need chlorophyll.
