If you have ever had any trouble with your feet you will keenly appreciate that healthy ones are a real blessing. It is always recommended that they be given preventative care, for our general condition of well-being often depends on the state of the feet. Also remember that cold feet are bad for the kidneys and, in the case of women, the pelvic organs.

Improvement can often be noticed when the patient changes his diet to a natural one, eating plenty of raw foods and avoiding products made with white flour and white sugar. However, patience will be necessary, since it will take time for the benefits of a change in diet to manifest themselves. Still, even though you might have to wait several months before the problem disappears, you will be all the more grateful and happy in the end. Alternatively, if you do not see fit to change your diet to a natural one, you can, in time, expect to face bigger problems, in spite of your dentist’s efforts. The disease can spread to the jaw and cause you to lose all your teeth.

To do this, however, we need to know and remember what they are at all times. We must not remain indifferent, telling ourselves this or that is not so bad after all. It is a fact that many little things add up to make one big one, and that the cumulative effect results in the disaster we are all trying to escape from!

Never regard tonsillitis as a harmless complaint; it is an infection that can have serious consequences. It appears that many people still do not realise how dangerous a sore throat can be; otherwise they would be more concerned about obtaining immediate treatment for, and a complete cure of, this infection. One mother wrote to me: ‘My seventeen-year-old daughter had a bad sore throat eight weeks ago and she developed an inflammation of the middle ear from it.’ This is the sort of letter received all too frequently. Heart problems, pericarditis and nephritis often follow in the wake of a bad sore throat or tonsillitis. This all goes to show that the toxins are far from harmless and that this complaint should receive more attention than it is usually given.

Let us begin by repeating the fact that excessive brain work causes eyestrain. The more natural and free from stress is the way we live our daily lives the better it will be for our eyes. It might be added that the poor nourishment derived from today’s denatured foods also contributes to the development of eye problems.

However, many of us will admit that it is not all that easy to change these things, or we may have already made some changes and want to achieve still more. How can this be done?

First of all, the bowels must be cleaned out by means of a natural plant laxative. As long as the temperature remains above normal the patient should not eat. To quench his thirst and assist elimination, give fruit juices, orange, grapefruit and grape juices being the most suitable. Should the liver be affected, raw carrot juice should be used instead of fruit juice. Under no circumstances should the fever be reduced with chemical medicines. It is a kind of defence measure, assisting the body by burning up and destroying the viral and other toxins responsible for the illness. The elimination of metabolic waste products through the kidneys is absolutely essential, and for this purpose give a kidney tea with Solidago (goldenrod) or Nephrosolid. Moreover, we can assist the fever and induce sweating by the use of compresses. If the patient should still find it difficult to start perspiring, let him drink hot elder flower tea with lemon juice.

When the normal body temperature has stabilised, first serve raw fruit and other raw foods, followed by light meals, keeping to a vegetarian diet, and as soon as good health has been restored, the patient can return to his usual diet, which should, however, be a natural one.

Following these suggestions, an attack of influenza can be quickly overcome and will not mean the usual long prostration. What is more, the patient will not experience the lingering tiredness and other common after effects of flu.

In the case of breast-fed babies, the cause of cradle cap may be in the mother’s diet. Unfortunately, few mothers pay much attention to the fact that anything they ingest, especially medicines, finds its way into their milk and is passed on to their babies. For example, a mother may be constipated and take a laxative. Then her breast-fed baby suddenly has a bout of diarrhoea. The baby is treated with all manner of things, without success, until bottle-feeding is resorted to and the diarrhoea finally stops. What a pity, though, since the infant is deprived of the best food for it – breast milk. With a little knowledge and forethought the upset would never have occurred in the first place.

While she is breast-feeding, a mother should not take any laxatives that contain aloe and other strong substances. Instead, linseed preparations, such as Linoforce, psyllium seed and similar remedies are harmless and can be used to regulate the bowels. Other medicines are also known to enter into the composition of milk when the mother has taken them. Among the most common of these are Luminal and many other barbiturates which are used to make up various sedatives and sleeping pills, as well as bromide, morphia and mercury preparations, quinine, salicylic acid and many remedies for rheumatism, iodide of potassium, alcohol and nicotine.
