FOREWORD
I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to Norman W. Walker,
D.Sc. for his untiring co-operation in the preparation of this book.
Dr. Walker has placed at my disposal, without reservation,
the results of his experience, experiments and analyses which have made
possible the compilation and publication, for the first time in history, of a
fairly complete guide of the Therapeutic uses of our more common, every-day
vegetables when these are taken in the form of fresh, raw juices.
It is hoped that this will prove to be not only a useful and
handy reference guide for all the members of my profession, but will also be of
considerable help to those who wish to derive the utmost benefit from the
natural foods which God created for the nourishment of Man.
R. D. Pope, M.D.

You don't
need to relate your health to your age! For more than 100 years, Norman W.
Walker, Ph.D., proved through research that well-being and long life can go
hand-in-hand. Modern day nutritionists and medical researchers are just now
discoverinq the truths which Dr. Walker has known and,expounded throughout the
twentieth century. Dr. Walker himself was living proof that a longer, healthier
life may be achieved through proper diet, mental soundness, and intelligent
body care. Every year we read about a new fad diet, a "cure-all"
drug, a food supplement, or a revolutionary exercise program that will save our
lives. The Dr. Walker program is unique in that it doesn't use the promotional
words, "miracle, fad, or revolutionary" ....it doesn't need them!
Dr.
Walker's contributions to our living longer, healthier lives began before the
turn of the century in London, where as a young man he became seriously ill
from over-work. Unable to accept the idea of ill health or a sick body, Dr.
Walker cured himself. Since that time, he spent the balance of his life
searching man's ability to extend life and achieve freedom from disease.
In 1910,
Dr. Walker established the Norwalk Laboratory of Nutritional Chemistry and
Scientific Research in New York, and thus began his important contributions to
a longer, more active form of living. Among his great contributions, was the
discovery of the theraputic, value of fresh vegetable juices, and in 1930 the
development of the Triturator Juicer.
We
believe Dr. Walker was one of the world's leading nutritionist; his unique
contributions are all available to you through his books.
Dr.
Walker opens up a wonderful world of knowledge in this book. He shares wisdom
that is simple to understand and with which we can all profit.
The
extensive benefits of fresh fruits and vegetables and the juices derived from
them is literally amazing. What one will learn in this book could easily be
considered a gift to the quality of life itself!
I would
encourage anyone to read, to learn, to grow, and then to share with others so
that they too can live a longer, healthier, and more active life.
We were,
afterall, created to live a vibrant life!

Fresh
Vegetable and Fruit Juices
The human body is
inextricably dependent on the quality of food and no less its' compatibility
with the needs of the body. People have awakened to this realization, but only
in the past two centuries. Gradually, more and more light was shed on the
mysterious workings of the human anatomy and the manner in which the body
utilizes the minerals and Vitamins composing such food.
The results obtained in
helping the body recover from nearly every disturbance or ailment, have been
almost phenomenal the World over, particularly in the area of Juice Therapy.
Today, any person not familiar with the nutritional and recuperative value of
fresh vegetable and fruit juices is woefully uninformed.
Since the turn of the
20th Century, fresh vegetable and fruit juices have come into their own. Their
value is now definitely recognized by the well-informed, including
professionals as well as laymen. The reason for the efficacy of such juices
lies in the fact that, by separating the mineral elements and the distilled
water in the food from the fibers, this liquid food is digested in a matter of
minutes. The digestive processes required to separate the mineral elements from
the fibers, on the other hand, involve labor and time - actually hours - to be
expended by the digestive organs. These processes of digesting whole vegetables
and fruits use up much energy, and the means with which to nourish such energy
is derived from the food. A portion of the "solid" food eaten is thus
diverted from its nutritional goal to be used as fuel to generate this energy.
This answers the frequently
asked question: Why not eat the vegetables and fruits WHOLE, instead of making
juices? Actually, there is no nourishment in the fibers, however, fibers serve
a very useful and much needed purpose. Fibers act as an intestinal broom. After
having traveled through the stomach, the duodenum and 25 feet of small
intestine, these fiber particles reach the colon in the form of microscopic
cellulose. The colon still considers the cellulose as fiber and uses it as
such. Without fiber, the Colon, and the body as a whole, cannot be maintained
in a healthy condition.
It is thus imperative
that throughout each day of life, a well balanced diet should contain as the
main course, a salad composed of a variety of vegetables - RAW VEGETABLES! To
guide you in the selection and preparation of such salads, I have written the
book The Vegetarian GUIDE TO DIET & SALADS (or DIET & SALAD SUGGESTIONS
in older editions.)
In response to
innumerable requests for information regarding the mineral contents of food, we
have added an Appendix to this New Edition. This contains an analysis of our
most familiar and commonly used foods.
I must emphasize the
fact that it is virtually impossible to grow, even organically, the PERFECT
product from ANY seed. The reason for this is that there are many factors
involved in the growing of plants which vary, sometimes radically, from one
plot of ground to another.
Also, there are today,
many varieties of almost every kind of food. For example, here are some of the
varieties of carrots available: Imperator, Chantenay, Danvers and Oxheart, each
having a slightly different mineral composition from the others, but not enough
to take them out of the carrot category. This is also true with other
vegetables.
We are obliged to use
any analytical information about food as a general guide. This is because of
the variable conditions of soil, climate, location and method with which the
planting is done.
A variety of vegetables
in our food combinations assures our body of obtaining all the vitamins and
minerals it has need of.
Organically grown food,
if obtainable, is normally of superior quality, unfortunately it is all too
often unobtainable. It would be a mistake to become a fanatic about the quality
of food we are obliged to purchase at markets. To those whose awareness on this
subject run too deeply, it would seem to me that perhaps it would be wise to
move to the country where you can grow your own food. It is primarily with this
thought in mind that I wrote the book BACK TO THE LAND For Self-preservation.
Generally speaking, if
you are not able to buy exactly the food you want, then as long as it is
necessary to do so, take the best of what IS available.
Just be sure that you
pick the freshest and best quality you see, and this applies to whether you are
buying your vegetables for Salads or making your Juices.
WHAT'S MISSING IN YOUR BODY?
I know that if I do not
drink a sufficient quantity of fresh-raw vegetable juices, then as likely as
not, my full quota of nourishment- ENZYMES is missing from my body.
How about you?
You, and you alone are
responsible for the result of how you nourish your body. The LIFE in your food
is what counts.
Your body is composed of
billions of microscopic cells. Your very existence depends on them. They need
nourishment, live, active nourishment. It depends on you, and on you alone,
whether the food you eat results in nutrition or malnutrition!
ENZYMES
The basic key to the
efficacy of nourishing your body is the life which is present in your food and
of those intangible elements, known as enzymes.
In other words, the
element which enables the body to be nourished and live, that element which is
hidden within the seeds of plants and in the sprouting and growth of plants is
a life principle known as enzymes.
Enzymes have been
described as complex substances which enable us to digest food and to
absorb it into our blood. It has also been claimed that Enzymes digest
cancers. In order to perform such classified operations, Enzymes would require
a body of some kind, a physical or material organism. This they do not have,
any more than electricity with its multitude of phases, such as voltage,
amperage, wattage, etc., does not have substance, but it activates substances
of which it is not an integral part. Thus enzymes are not "substances."
Enzymes are an intangible magnetic Cosmic Energy of Life Principle (not
a substance) which is intimately involved in the action and activity of every
atom in the human body, in vegetation, and in every form of life.
Once we get this clearly
into our consciousness, we will know definitely why our food should be
intelligently and properly selected, and why it should be raw, uncooked and
unprocessed.
We cannot have life and
death at the same time, either in connection with our body, or with vegetables,
fruits, nuts and seeds. Where there is life, there are enzymes.
Enzymes are sensitive to
temperatures above 118°F. Above 120°F enzymes become sluggish, just as the
human body becomes languid and relaxed in a hot bath. At 130°F the life of
enzymes is extinct. They are dead.
Within seeds, enzymes
are in a dormant state, and under proper conditions will remain in a state of
suspended animation for hundreds and thousands of years.
As a matter of fact,
carcasses of prehistoric animals found in the northernmost regions of the
earth, in Siberia and other glacial regions where they were instantly frozen by
cataclysmic ice formations some 50,000 years ago, have been found to contain
enzymes in abundance, which became active when the flesh was thawed to body
temperature. Thus, enzymes can be preserved at any desired low temperature
without loss.
Life as LIFE cannot be
explained, so we describe enzymes as a Cosmic Energy Principle or vibration
which promotes a chemical action or change in atoms and molecules, causing a
reaction, without changing, destroying or using up the enzymes themselves in
the process.
In other words, enzymes
are catalysts and as such they promote action or change without altering
or changing their own status.
With this brief
explanation, you are better able to appreciate the value, reason, logic and
intelligence of choosing the food with which you intend to nourish your body,
not only food in the raw state, but also food used and prepared so that it will
nourish the cells and tissues of your body in the most speedy and efficient
manner possible.
The great Law of Life is
replenishment. If we do not eat, we die. Just as surely, if we do not eat the
kind of food which will nourish the body constructively, we not only die
prematurely but we suffer along the way.
Our body needs to be
supplied daily with the same elements with which it is composed. Due thought,
attention and consideration to the other two parts of our being, namely our
mind and spirit, provides our total life with complete health.
We can eat the finest
and most constructive food in creation, but this will not prevent the
disintegration of the body if resentments, fear, worry, frustration and
negative states of mind are permitted to obsess us.
Health is the
indisputable foundation for the satisfaction of life.
Everything of domestic
joy or occupational success must be built of body wholesomeness and vitality.
Nutrition must be vital
or organic. Salts and mineral matter must be vitally organic in order
that they may be assimilated by the human body for the rebuilding and
regeneration of the body cells and tissues.
The rays of the sun send
billions of atoms into plant life, activating the enzymes and by this force
they change inorganic elements into organic or life-containing elements for
food.
Thanks to Scientific
Research, we are now able to analyze and know exactly the elements which foods
carry, and to harmonize them in the body according to its needs.
Our body is made up of
many atomic elements. *The principal ones are:
Oxygen Calcium Sodium
Chlorine
Carbon Phosphorus
Magnesium Fluorine
Hydrogen Potassium Iron Silicon
Nitrogen Sulphur Iodine Manganese
Except for accidents,
all the repair and regeneration of our body must come from within. The body is
out of balance when the blood stream, cells, tissues, organs, glands and the
rest of the body do not contain these elements in proper proportion or are
deficient. The result is a condition that is just plain poisonous. It is called
toxemia.
In order to regain and
maintain the proper balance of health, most of the food we eat must contain
live, vital, organic elements. These elements are found in fresh-raw
vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds.
Oxygen is one of the
most essential elements. As soon as food is cooked, its oxygen is lost. The
enzymes are destroyed at 130°F, and most of the vital force needed for
nourishment is dissipated.
The fact that for
generations, millions upon millions of people have lived and are living, who
have rarely if ever eaten anything but cooked foods, does not prove that their
being alive is the result of eating cooked foods. As a matter of fact, they are
in a state of decadent existence which is confirmed by the toxic condition of
their bodies. Else, why the overcrowding of inadequate hospital facilities? Why
the millions upon millions of pounds of painkillers sold annually? Why such a
high rate of incidence of heart trouble, diabetes, cancer, emphysema, premature
senility and premature deaths?
Our Creator developed
the human body with an inherent colossal amount of tolerance. When we eat
anything that is "not good" for us or that is incompatible with our
nutritional requirements and balance, we suffer. We are warned and punished by
pain or by cramps, leading eventually to disease and perhaps to any one or more
of the infinite number of ailments which afflict humanity.
* For mure complete and
instructive details regarding these elements, read DIET & SALAD
SUGGESTIONS, by N.W. Walker, D.Sc., Ph.D., Published by Norwalk Press.
Such punishment may not
manifest immediately, nor be immediately apparent, but because of the body's
miraculous tolerance we will be kept waiting for days, perhaps months or maybe
years, before the long-range retribution called for by Nature for the
infraction of her laws, catches up with us.
Once we discover the
Natural means to regain and to maintain our Health at a high rate of vibration,
we experience the bliss which results from putting that discovery into daily
practice. It seems both strange and pitiful that so many people will not
consider the matter, but will deliberately continue into inevitable toxemic
decadence. Mental and intestinal fortitude coupled with a little study could
help them avoid premature and often painful disintegration.
WHY NOT EAT THE VEGETABLES?
Without the knowledge of
the principles involved in the use of fresh-raw vegetable and fruit juices, one
would naturally ask: "Why not eat the whole vegetable and fruit
instead of extracting the juice and discarding the fibers?"
The answer is simple: solid
food requires many hours of digestive activity before its nourishment is
finally available to the cells and tissues of the body. While the fibers in
solid food have virtually no nourishing value, they do act as an intestinal
broom during the peristaltic activity of the intestines, hence the need to eat
raw foods in addition to drinking juices. However, the removal of the fibers in
the extraction of the juices, enables juices to be very quickly digested and
assimilated, sometimes in a matter of minutes, with a minimum of effort and
exertion on the part of the digestive system.
For example, it is
well-known that celery because of its high sodium chloride content is our best
food to counteract the effects of extreme heat. To eat the celery would involve
so much time in the process of digestion that one may readily be overcome by
the intense heat before the beneficial effects of celery can be obtained. On
the other hand, by drinking a glass or a pint of fresh-raw celery juice, we get
quick results. This has often made the sizzling Arizona desert heat quite
bearable for me.
Whole vegetables and
fruits are composed of a considerable quantity of fibers. Within the
interstices of these fibers are enclosed the atoms and molecules which are the
essential nutritional elements we need. It is these atoms and molecules and
their respective enzymes in the fresh-raw juices which aid the speedy
nourishment of the cells and tissues, glands, organs and every part of our body.
The fibers of vegetables
and fruits are also valuable. When the food we eat is raw, uncooked and
unprocessed, these fibers act as an intestinal broom. When food is cooked, the
intense heat destroys its life. Its fibers, having lost their magnetism through
the heat, being lifeless, dead, act in the nature of a mop swabbing through the
intestines, all too often leaving a coating on the walls of the intestines. In
the course of time this coating accumulates, putrefies and causes Toxemia. The
Colon then becomes sluggish and distorted and constipation, colitis,
diverticulosis and other disturbances result.
The juices extracted
from fresh-raw vegetables and fruits are the means by which we can furnish all
the ceils and tissues of the body with the elements and the nutritional enzymes
they need in the manner they can be most readily digested and assimilated.
Notice that I said
nutritional enzymes. This applies to the enzymes in our food. The cells and
tissues of our body have their own corresponding enzymes which assist and
cooperate in the work of digesting and assimilating our food. In addition, the
composition of every atom and molecule in our body has a superabundant supply
of enzymes. The oxygen is collected by enzyme action and then by the blood.
For example, the air we
breathe is taken into our lungs as a combination of approximately 20% Oxygen
and 80% Nitrogen. The air we expel from our lungs, is mainly carbonic acid and
carbon dioxide. What happens to the Nitrogen?
This is what happens
when we breathe. Two main classes of enzymes in our lungs come into action the
moment air reaches the tiny bunch-of-grapes-like interior of our lungs, known
as alveoli. One set of enzymes, known as Oxidase, separate the Oxygen while the
other set of enzymes, known as Nitrase, separate the Nitrogen from the air. The
Oxygen is collected, by enzyme action, by the blood and circulates it through
the body, while the Nitrogen, by the action of "transportation"
enzymes, passes into the body for protein generation.
Our entire system is
composed of innumerable enzymes. These enzymes are found throughout the mouth,
stomach and intestines. More than a dozen of them are involved in the digestion
and assimilation of our food. They work in conjunction with the enzymes that
are also found in the atoms and molecules contained in the food itself.
COOKED FOODS
As a rule it will do no
great harm to occasionally eat a little cooked food, but never fried food,
provided that a sufficient quantity of raw food is also eaten. We are now
living in the Atomic Age, and to slow ourselves down by eating much cooked food
creates a physical and mental conflict within us which is a handicap blocking
the streamline of our existence.
The juices extracted
from fresh-raw fruits and vegetables form the means of furnishing all the cells
in the body with the elements they need in the manner in which they can be most
readily assimilated.
We must bear in mind
that while it is true that cooked and processed foods sustain life,
nevertheless that does not mean that they have the power to regenerate the
atoms which furnish the life force to our body. On the contrary, progressive
degeneration of the cells and tissues follows the continuous consumption of
cooked and processed foods.
There is not a drug in
the world that will supply the blood stream with anything in a way in which the
body can use it for permanent repair or regeneration.
One can eat four or five
big meals a day, and yet the body may be starved through the lack of the vital
elements in the food and the disturbance of the enzyme balance.
Fruit juices are the
cleansers of the human system, but the fruit should be ripe. An apple a day
will keep the doctor away, if we also eat plenty of other raw food. But fruits,
with only three or four exceptions, should never be eaten during the same meal
in which starches and sugars are included. Fruits in sufficient variety will
furnish the body with all the carbohydrates and sugar that it needs.
Vegetable juices are the
builders and regenerators of the body. They contain all the amino acids,
minerals, salts, enzymes, and vitamins needed by the human body, provided that
they are used fresh, raw, and without preservatives, and that they have been
properly extracted from the vegetables.
Like all the most
valuable things in life, the vital part of vegetables — that which contains the
greatest concentrated value — is the most difficult to reach, being hidden
within the fibers. Hence, the need for a thorough mastication of all raw
vegetables.
In the final analysis,
raw food is the nourishment intended for human beings. However, not everyone is
able to change the lifelong habit of eating foods mostly or totally cooked and
devitalized, and in their place eat only raw foods. Such a sudden change may
cause disturbances which the individual may not be able to understand, but which,
nevertheless, may be entirely beneficial. Under these circumstances, it is wise
to consult someone who is experienced in the reactions which may result from
such a change. After all, it does require considerable mental as well as
intestinal fortitude to make this change and to stay with it, but we have found
that it pays to do so.
In any event, fresh-raw
vegetable juices are necessary as a supplement to every diet, even when no
special diet is followed and the individual eats anything and everything he
pleases.
When a promiscuous
unregulated food regimen is followed or indulged in, such juices are of vital
importance because they will furnish the body the live elements and vitamins
deficient in the cooked and processed foods.
On the other hand, an entirely
raw food regimen, without the inclusion of a sufficient quantity and variety of
fresh-raw juices is equally deficient. The reason for this deficiency lies in
the fact that a surprisingly large percentage of the atoms making up the
nourishment in the raw foods is utilized as fuel for energy by the digestive
organs in their processes of digesting and assimilating the food, which usually
requires as long as 3, 4, or 5 hours after every meal. Such atoms, while
furnishing some nourishment to the body, are mostly used up as fuel, leaving
only the smaller percentage available for the regeneration of the cells and
tissues.
However, when we drink
raw vegetable juices, the situation is entirely different, as these are
digested and assimilated within 10 to 15 minutes after we drink them and they
are used almost entirely in the nourishment and regeneration of the cells and
tissues, glands and organs of the body. In this case the result is obvious, as
the entire process of digestion and assimilation is completed with a maximum
degree of speed and efficiency, and with a minimum of effort on the part of the
digestive system.
The important thing is
to drink your juices fresh daily, irrespective of the manner or process by
which they have been extracted. Naturally, the more completely the juice is
extracted, the more efficiently it will work in the body.
MY FIRST CARROT JUICE
My first experiments
were made by grating carrots on anything that would reduce them to a pulp, then
squeezing the pulp in a cloth, to get the juice. After discovering the miracle
of using that juice so simply made, I tried making the carrots into pulp by
other means until I could make a larger amount of juice for myself in less time
and with less effort. I soon discovered that these juices fermented and spoiled
unless used immediately, the time element being the factor.
Eventually I discovered
a means to triturate (pulverize) the vegetables into a pulp nearly as fine as
apple butter. This split open the interstices of the cells of the fibers, liberating
the atoms and molecules. Then, by squeezing the pulp in a hydraulic press, I
obtained a virtually complete extraction of the juice, and its quality was
unsurpassed.
Naturally this is an
expensive piece of equipment. However, do not consider the price involved, but
rather the investment in health that pays for itself!
The centrifugal type of
juicer which came on the market some years ago, has been improved over the
years and there are some very satisfactory models on the market. These have
their place in the extraction of juices, in that they are suitable for travel
and also for use in small apartments where space is limited. The juices made
with this type of equipment have been used with benefit by many people. We need
to drink juices daily, irrespective of how they are extracted. However, the
best quality of juice is the cheapest in the long run and the most effective in
nourishing the body.
Any fresh-raw juice is
better than no juice at all.
The juice extracted by
the centrifugal method should be used immediately, because unless the
extraction of the juice from the fibers is as complete as it is humanly and
mechanically possible to achieve, oxidation and heat from friction will tend to
spoil the juice in a short time.
In my experiments, I
have found that the toxic sprays are retained in the fibers of vegetables and
are not present in the fiber-free juices.
JUICES ARE NOT CONCENTRATED FOOD
Our Creator gave us food
both as nourishment and as medicine. It is only natural, therefore, to use our
food with both these goals in view.
It is foolish to say
that juices are a concentrated food. Nothing could be farther from the truth. A
concentrated food is a product which has been dehydrated, from which its water
content has been dissipated. Juices on the other hand are very liquid food,
mostly organic water of the finest quality with the nourishing atoms and
molecules in comparatively microscopic volume. It is the microscopic volume for
which the cells and tissues of the body are starved!
In the extraction of
"complete" juices, it is essential that the fibers be properly
triturated (pulverized) in order that the vital elements may be released into
the liquid.
it has been demonstrated
by the research of this author, one of the pioneers in the reduction of raw
vegetables into their liquid form, that the fibers must be properly triturated
(pulverized). The juice must then be expressed from the resultant pulp by a
hydraulic or equivalent pressure. Otherwise, the vitamins, the enzymes, and the
entire volume of vital elements of the vegetables are not likely to be found in
the juice.
However, when extracted,
the raw vegetable juices are readily and quickly assimilated by the human body.
Because the juices are organic or live food, they regenerate the entire body
with surprisingly rapid results.
Under no circumstances
consider that fresh-raw vegetable juices are a concentrated food or medicine
when they are in their natural state. As a matter of fact, they are among the
least concentrated, and yet the most nourishing of our foods.
To dispel such nonsense
about the concentrated quality of these juices, just consider how much more
concentrated than the juices are the following items used as food: soy bean and
soy bean flour are 870% more concentrated than carrot juice and 940% more than
celery juice. Popcorn is 2100% more concentrated than carrot juice and 2300%
more than celery juice. White sugar is 4200% more concentrated than carrot
juice and 4600% more than celery juice.
When we realize how
colossal the concentration of these items used as food compared to juices is,
we get an inkling of the underlying cause of the acidity generated in the body
as a result of eating soy products, popcorn, sugar, and the like.
If a more convincing
fact is needed to dispel the false assertion that because of
"concentration" (or any other reason) these juices are dangerous,
compare carrot juice to fresh, undiluted cow's milk. We find that in their
natural chemical composition the water content of these two products is almost
identical in volume. The relative natural water content is the basis upon which
the concentration of a product is established.
Of course, to compare
cow's milk in any way to carrot juice is decidedly paradoxical. Cow's milk is
probably the most mucous- forming food used by human beings. The casein content
of cow's milk is exceedingly high being about 300% more than is contained in
mother's milk. (Casein is a milk by-product used as one of the most tenacious
adhesive glues for gluing wood together). This is one of the reasons for the
mucous conditions experienced by both children and adults who grew up drinking
quantities of such milk. Colds, runny noses, tonsil, adenoid and bronchial
troubles are common results of mucous, whereas carrot juice is one of the greatest
aids in the elimination of mucous.
This prodigious
generation of mucus in the body as a result of drinking such quantities of
cow's milk is not limited to youngsters but is found just as much in adults,
where the effects are likely to be far more disastrous because, as people grow
older their resiliency is correspondingly lower than in the younger generation.
When milk is needed,
there is one kind of milk that is compatible with human digestion from infancy
to senility. Raw Goat's milk.
Raw Goat's milk is not
mucus forming. If a mucous condition develops after drinking it, it will
usually be due to an excessive previous use of starches and sugars, not to the
Goat's milk. This milk must be used RAW, and it must not be heated above 118°F,
nor pasteurized.
For infants there is no
better milk than mother's milk. Raw Goat's milk is the next best. Some
fresh-raw carrot juice may be added to it with benefit. In fact, Raw Goat's
milk can be added to any fresh-raw vegetable juice satisfactorily. We will have
more to say about milk later.
We must always bear in
mind that in the use of fresh-raw vegetable and fruit juice the quality of the
juice has a distinct bearing on the results obtained.
When the juice is
incompletely extracted from the vegetable or fruit, they are in the form of
vital organic water and as such are still beneficial, but their effective power
is proportionately diminished due to the absence of the vitamins and enzymes
which are left behind in the fiber and the pulp.
The various members and
organs of the human body, as well as every part comprising them, are composed
of microscopic cells containing the various elements already listed. These
cells are constantly being used up in the normal course of human existence and
must be constantly rebuilt. The food required for this purpose must be vital,
organic food and must contain an ample supply of the vital, organic minerals
and salts needed for the efficient upkeep of the system.
A diet consisting wholly
or mainly of devitalized foods inevitably results in the breaking down of these
cells, creating a condition of sickness or disease.
To avoid such a
condition, it is necessary to furnish the body with an abundance of vital
elements in its nutrition. When the breaking down of these cells is taking or
has taken place, then the natural way to return to norma! would be to
thoroughly cleanse the system and start a process of reconstruction by means of
raw vegetable juices.
It has been proved
beyond doubt that supplementing our meals with raw vegetable and fruit juices
is the quickest and most permanent way to replenish the body with the elements
it lacks. The following will be found useful as a guide in the use of properly
extracted juice.
HOW WE PROTECT OURSELVES AGAINST PESTICIDES AND SPRAYS
IN THIS POISONED WORLD
There is a little-known
fact regarding the effect of pesticides on our vegetables and fruits, which
should be given much publicity in these times.
We have been able to
determine that pesticides and sprays may be injurious in the consumption of
vegetables and fruits, it is the FIBERS of such foods that collect these
toxins. The enzymes, atoms and molecules are allergic to them.
The following will be
found useful as a guide in the use of property extracted juice. Fruits and
vegetables grown in devitalized soil, or improper composting and fertilization
will be deficient in vital factors.
The lack of nutrients in
the food will correspond in proportion to the deficiency of nutrients in the
soil.
Furthermore, under the
very best soil conditions the use of sprays and pesticides will enter into the
plants and roots but will be completely absorbed by the fibers of the plants
and roots. The plants will continue to grow and thrive not because of these
toxins, but in spite of them. Why? Because the enzymes, atoms and molecules
will continue to carry on their work without interruption in spite of the
poison saturated fibers.
The question arises: How
to get the enzymes, atoms and molecules from our vegetables without using the
poisoned fibers? After all these enzymes, atoms and molecules are the
nourishing elements we require. The fibers have virtually no nourishing value.
The answer is simple:
When vegetables are correctly triturated (pulverized) the cells of the fibers
are split open and these elements released. It is important to note that these
elements are as allergic to toxins as oil is to water. Therefore they will
regain their Virgin Virtue by not mixing with the triturated (pulverized)
fibers.
By squeezing this
triturated (pulverized) pulp through proper straining material, the enzymes,
atoms and molecules in the juices are extracted from the fibers and the toxins
with which they are saturated.
Therefore, we have found
our answer on how to avoid being afflicted by the pollution which has infested
food products throughout our Nation.
However, our use of the
electric triturator (which is a device that pulverizes) and hydraulic press
does not rule out the use of centrifugal machines. While it is recognized that
by centrifugal action we cannot extract ALL of the enzymes, atoms and
molecules, nevertheless, the use of a filter in the centrifugal extractor
prevents the fibers from mixing with the extracted juice. We can thus obtain a
juice which is free from the poison-saturated fibers.
The appliance known as a
Liquefier or Blender is not practical for the extraction of juices. Its action
merely cuts up the vegetables as fine as desired, but the pulp is still present
in its entirety.
We use blenders in our
kitchen to make dressings, desserts, etc., for which purpose they are admirably
suited.
In our choice of
vegetables and other foods, we shop at whatever market or supermarket has the
freshest and best quality vegetables and other foods, and at the Health Food
Stores. We always shop for quality. There is no substitute for quality at any
price, and if the cost is higher, it is both safer and more economical in the
long run.
Furthermore, not only
has the vibrations of our food been raised to its' highest nutritional point,
but our Blessings have been multiplied beyond what we think we deserve. We pass
them on to you.
HOW MUCH JUICE CAN BE TAKEN SAFELY?
Just as much as one can
drink comfortably without forcing oneself. As a general rule, one pint daily is
the least that will show any perceptible results, and preferably from two to
eight pints or more. We must bear in mind that the more juice we drink the
quicker the results.
When juices were first
promulgated from the lecture platform, it was suggested that they be taken in
small doses. This was undoubtedly due to the fact that there wasn't any machine
on the market at the time with which juices could be made in reasonable
quantities. To make even a cupful of juice at a time with a hand juicer was
difficult and laborious. Had larger quantities of juice been advocated,
undoubtedly there would have been little market for hand juicers because of the
labor involved in using them. Today, we find the electric Triturator and
Hydraulic Press the most efficient.
There are certain
definite principles involved. First, in releasing the mineral and chemical
elements, vitamins and hormones from the tiny microscopic cells of the fibers
of vegetables and fruits, and second, in collecting them and separating them
and the juice from the fiber.
Hand juicers only partly
crush the fibers and because they cannot triturate (pulverize), it is not
possible to extract all the vital elements from the vegetables. Trituration
(pulverization) is a fundamental principal in the reclamation of these vital
elements.
Howbeit, centrifugal and
other such machines are just as useful when the supreme quality of the juices
is not of paramount importance. Furthermore, such machines do not involve the
large investment of money required for a Triturator and Hydraulic Press.
The principle of the
centrifugal type of juicer extractor involves a fast rotating plate with a
sharp grating surface at the bottom of the basket in the machine. As the
rotation is extremely fast, the pulp which is grated on the bottom plate is
flung by centrifugal force against the sides of the perforated basket and the
juice from the pulp is thus separated and collected through a spout.
Of course, it is
understandable that it is physically and mechanically impossible to extract all
of the juice by centrifugal action, but the juice so obtained is generally good
and should not be kept long before drinking it.
Notwithstanding the
disadvantages of such methods of extraction, there is still much benefit
derived from drinking such juices. The inherent natural water in juices is after
all, organic water and as such it has great value. Such vitamins and mineral
elements as are collected in such juice are very beneficial.
When we speak of water,
the first thought is quite naturally of that which comes from the faucet or
from the spring, or even rain water. Few people stop to wonder if, or even to
realize that, there is vital organic as well as inorganic water. Nature has
furnished vegetation as the laboratory in which to convert the inorganic water
of rain and stream into life-containing atoms of vital organic water. Not only
is the water from the faucet inorganic, it is also, because of the atoms that
compose it are mineral elements, entirely devoid of the life principle. Nearly
all cities contaminate the water supply with inorganic chlorine and other
chemicals, making it truly unfit for human or animal consumption. The water in
the rivers and streams and from the spring is also inorganic as is rain water.
The only source from
which vital organic water is derived is vegetation — our vegetables and fruits
and particularly the juices made from them. Such juices, however, must be raw
to retain their vital organic quality and must not be cooked processed, canned,
or pasteurized.
When juices have been
cooked processed, canned, or pasteurized all of the enzymes are destroyed and
the atoms are then converted into inorganic or dead atoms; this applies to the
H,0 (water) as well as to the mineral and chemical atoms composing such juice.
To convert vegetables
into liquid or semiliquid mush without eliminating the cellulose is also of
little value from the point of view of juices. Drinking juices not only enables
the body to assimilate all of the vital elements in a swift and timely manner,
but it does so without burdening the digestive organs with the work entailed by
the presence of the pulp-cellulose.
Drinking juices which
are properly made will enable the body to assimilate them within ten to fifteen
minutes. Whereas, the presence of pulp in the so-called liquid, or liquefied,
vegetables, or juices still containing the pulp, will require hours to digest.
Furthermore, to drink
juices from which the pulp has not been extracted taxes the digestive organs
more than eating and properly masticating the raw vegetables and fruits
themselves, as proper insalivation and thorough mastication is essential to the
complete digestion of vegetables when the cellulose fiber is present. This is
not usually done if the fibers still remain a part of the mush or liquefied
vegetables; whereas, the juices from which the fiber has been removed furnish,
without interference, every particle of the nourishment contained in the
vegetable for immediate and quick assimilation by the body.
Vegetable juices will
contain all of the vital elements, that is to say, all of the vitamins and
vital organic minerals and salts contained in the vegetable, if the juices are
properly made by means of a thorough trituration or grinding, which will rip
open the fibers in the vegetable and reduce the entire vegetable to a pulp so
fine that it can be spread almost like apple butter. By placing this pulp in a
filter cloth and squeezing it in a hydraulic or similar press — which need not
be any larger than can be conveniently handled on a kitchen table — exercising
many tons of pressure, we then get a juice which, in comparison with that made
inefficiently, is as different as cream from milk.
ALFALFA
ALFALFA is a
particularly valuable leguminous herb, not only rich in the principal mineral
and chemical elements in the constitution of the human body, but it also has
many of the trace elements obtained from deep in the soil where the roots reach
down 30 to 100 feet.
Of specific value, I
would point out the rich quality, quantity and proper balance of Calcium,
Magnesium, Phosphorus, Chlorine, Sodium, Potassium and Silicon in Alfalfa.
These elements are all very much needed for the proper function of the various
organs in the body.
While Alfalfa is widely
used as forage for livestock, it is nevertheless of immense value, in the form
of juice using only the leaves, when it can be obtained fresh. It is also known
as Lucerne grass, while in England it is known as Purple Medic.
Because Alfalfa adapts
itself to widely varying conditions of soil and climate, even thriving on
alkali soil, there is no excuse for not growing it on one's home grounds, as it
is usually difficult to obtain when living in the city.
When we are unable to
obtain fresh Alfalfa, we sprout Alfalfa seeds and eat the sprouts with our
meals. They sprout easily and they are very beneficial.
ALFALFA JUICE
Vegetation miraculously
transforms and vitalizes inanimate substances into living cells and tissues.
Cattle eat vegetation,
raw, for nourishment. They take into their system one living organism and
convert it into a still more complex live organism.
Vegetation, on the other
hand, whether vegetable, fruit, plant, or grass, takes inorganic elements from
the air, water, and earth, and converts them into live organic elements. To be
specific, in order for vegetation to flourish, it needs nitrogen and carbon
from the air; minerals, mineral salts, and more nitrogen from the earth in
which it grows; and of course, oxygen and hydrogen from water.
The most vital and
potent factors in this process of conversion are the enzymes and the life-giving
influence of the rays of the sun which generate the chlorophyll.
The chlorophyll molecule
is made up of a web of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms around one
single atom of magnesium. It is interesting to compare this design with that of
the hemoglobin of our red blood corpuscles, which has a similar web of elements
girdling an atom of iron instead of the atom of magnesium.
We find in this analogy
one of the secrets of the value of chlorophyll to the human system. Strict
vegetarians — whose diet excludes grains and starches but includes an abundance
of fresh juices with a good proportion of the green juices are healthier, live
longer, and are freer from degenerative ailments than those who eat mostly
cooked foods and little or no raw vegetables and juices. It would seem that we
have here fairly conclusive evidence as to which diet regimen is the correct or
natural one for healthy human beings.
One of the richest
chlorophyll foods we have is alfalfa. It is a food that builds up both animals and
humans, all things considered into a healthy, vital, and vigorous old age, and
builds up a resistance to infection that is almost phenomenal.
The juice of fresh
alfalfa is too strong and potent to be taken by itself. It is best taken with
carrot juice, in which combination the individual benefits of each juice are
intensified. It has been found very helpful in most troubles with the arteries
and disfunctions connected with the heart.
It is generally conceded
by those who have studied the effects of gas in the intestines that in a
surprisingly large number of patients suffering from heart trouble, this
condition is caused not by any organic disfunction of the heart. Rather it is
caused from excessive gas in the colon which press the walls of the colon against
organs connected with the heart. A few colonic irrigations or enemas as a rule
have frequently relieved this condition. The heart trouble disappeared until
the next accumulation of gas gave warning that the colon, not the heart, needed
a thorough reconditioning.
Besides benefit to blood
and heart conditions, chlorophyll is most useful in the relief of respiratory
troubles and discomforts, particularly in the sinuses and in the lungs. Mucus
is the underlying cause of sinus infection and pains, as it is of bronchial and
asthmatic conditions, including hay fever.
Strict vegetarians who
eschew cow's milk, flour, grain, and concentrated sugar products, are not
afflicted with these troubles, particularly if they were brought up from
childhood to shun and avoid these foods. This is not by any manner or means
fanatical. It is just plain common sense and perfectly natural, and proved
beyond question or doubt from experience.
Those who have adopted
such a vegetarian program later in life have been able to help overcome these
conditions without the use of surgery or drugs.
After all, sinus
infection is the work of our defensive friends, the germs, trying to help us by
breaking up mucous accumulations so that these may be eliminated from the
system. Instead of helping them by cleansing the body of the waste matter by
means of colonics and enemas, attempts are made to "dry up" the mucus
and "shrink the membranes" with applications of adrenaline,
epinephrine, or other drugs. Even "sulfa" drugs now known to be virulent
and pernicious are sometimes used without regard, consideration, or
understanding of the eventual damage, injury or danger resulting from their use.
The most injurious
results are essentially developed when the waste matter, consisting
particularly of these drugs and of the sewage of the germ colonies, are allowed
to remain in the "infected" and adjacent parts instead of being
eliminated as quickly as possible.
We have in our body the
most perfect systems of elimination if we will but get them into efficient
working condition.
Our lungs must be free
of foul air, tobacco smoke, etc.; our skin must be active so that the pores may
pour out the toxins carried there by the lymph; the kidneys must have freedom
of action without interference from alcohol and uric acid products; and our
colon must have whatever internal washing it needs to remove the accumulations
of 30, 40, and 50 years or more.
That is only part of the
program. The cells and tissues of the entire body must get live organic
nourishment. This means that for some time at least, we should forego as much
as possible all those foods whose vital energy — whose life element — has been
destroyed by heat or by processing. We may be guided by the contents of my book
DIET & SALAD SUGGESTIONS, which has brought innumerable commendations from
readers who have benefited by putting into practice the very simple rules and
menus contained therein.
To carrot and alfalfa
juice, lettuce juice may be added to enrich the combination with elements
particularly needed by the roots of the hair. Drinking this combination daily,
one pint a day, may help the growth of hair to a remarkable extent.
ASPARAGUS JUICE
Asparagus contains an
alkaloid known as Asparagine in a relatively large amount. (Alkaloids are found
in living plants. They contain the active life principle of the plant, without
which it cannot grow or stay alive). It is composed of the elements carbon,
hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen.
When asparagus is cooked
or canned the value of this alkaloid is lost, as the hydrogen and oxygen are
dissipated and the natural salts formed by the combination of this alkaloid
with the other elements are virtually lost or their value is destroyed.
In the form of juice,
asparagus has been very effectively used as a diuretic, particularly when
combined with some carrot juice, as it may prove to be uncomfortably strong in
its reaction on the kidneys when taken alone.
It is a beneficial juice
in the case of kidney disfunctions and in the regulation of general glandular
troubles. Diabetes and anemia are helped by the use of it in conjunction with
the juices more specifically outlined for these conditions.
As this juice helps the
breaking up of oxalic acid crystals in the kidneys and throughout the muscular
system, it is good for rheumatism, neuritis, etc. Rheumatism results from the
end product of the digestion of meat and meat products, which generate
excessive amounts of urea.
As the human system
cannot completely digest and assimilate so-called "complete
proteins", such as meats and meat products, the ingestion of too much of
these causes the greater part of the uric acid generated thereby to be absorbed
into the muscles.
The continuous use of
meat protein taxes the workings of the kidneys and of other eliminative organs,
straining them to the point where a progressively smaller amount of uric acid
is eliminated and a correspondingly greater amount is absorbed by the muscles.
The result is painfully known as rheumatism.
This condition is also
one of the underlying causes for prostate gland trouble, in which case this
juice combination, in addition to the carrot, beet, and cucumber juice has been
helpful.
BEET JUICE
This is one of the most
valuable juices for helping to build up the red corpuscles of the blood and
tone up the blood generally. Women, particularly, have been benefited by
drinking at least one pint of a combination of carrot and beet juice daily. The
proportion in this combination may vary from 3 to 8 ounces of beet juice, using
roots and tops, in one pint of the combined juices, carrot and beet.
Taken alone, beet juice,
in greater quantities than a wineglass at a time, may cause a cleansing
reaction which may make one a little dizzy or nauseated. This may be the result
of its cleansing effect on the liver and may, therefore, be uncomfortable. It
has been found from experience that it is best to take less beet juice and more
carrot juice in the beginning until one can tolerate its beneficial cleansing
effect — then to increase the proportion of beet juice gradually. One 6 or
8-ounce glassful twice daily is usually considered sufficient.
For menstrual
disturbances beet juice has been very helpful, particularly when, during such
periods, it has been used in small quantities, not more than a wineglass at a
time (say, 2 or 3 ounces) two or three times a day. During menopause this
procedure has been found much more permanently helpful than the degenerative
effects of drugs or synthetic hormones. After all, any drug or inorganic
synthetic chemical product cannot possibly have any more than a temporary
effect in giving relief; the one who takes such drugs or synthetic hormones is
the one who may suffer eventually when the body and Nature combine in attempts
to eliminate such inorganic material from the system. Any drug that can be
guaranteed to relieve or cure permanently any sick condition of the body can
also be guaranteed to start some other and probably more serious condition some
time later. It is the one who takes the drug that suffers in the long run, not
those who advertise or administer it.
After all is said and
done, Nature has furnished us with natural means through which we may seek
health, energy, vigor, and vitality. She has also furnished us, in greater or
lesser degrees, with intelligence with which to pursue our search for
knowledge. If we use our intelligence, Nature smiles on us. If we do not use
it, she stands by with infinite patience and compassion, wondering why her
handiwork should turn out so badly.
While the actual content
of iron in red beets is not high, it is of a quality that furnishes excellent
food for the red corpuscles of the blood. The greatest virtue of the chemical
elements in the beet is the fact that more than 50% is sodium, while the
calcium content is only about 5%.This is a valuable proportion for maintaining
the solubility of calcium, particularly when, as a result of eating cooked
foods, inorganic calcium has been permitted to accumulate in the system and has
formed deposits within the blood vessels, resulting in a toughening of the walls,
as in the case of varicose veins and hardening of the arteries, or a thickening
of the blood, resulting in high blood pressure and other forms of heart trouble.
The 20% potassium
content furnishes the general nourishment for all the physiological functions
of the body, while the 8% content of chlorine furnishes a splendid organic
cleanser of the liver, kidneys, and gall bladder, also stimulating the activity
of the lymph throughout the entire body.
The combination of
carrot and beet juice furnishes a good percentage of phosphorous and sulphur on
the one hand and potassium and other alkaline elements on the other hand,
which, together with the high content of Vitamin A, completes what is probably
the best natural builder of the blood cells and particularly the red blood
corpuscles.
CARROT, BEET AND COCONUT JUICE
With the addition of
some pure coconut milk extracted from the meat of the coconut making a
combination of carrot, beet, and coconut juice, a food is obtained which, in
addition to its properties as an intensive body builder, has even more potent
qualities as a cleanser of the kidneys and gall bladder. If properly prepared,
this combination contains the alkaline elements potassium, sodium, calcium,
magnesium, and iron in abundance and the other elements phosphorus, sulphur,
silicon, and chlorine in ample and correct proportions.
CARROT, BEET AND CUCUMBER JUICE
Gallstones, kidney
stones, and gravel in the gall bladder and kidneys are the natural result of
the inability of the body functions to eliminate from the system the inorganic
calcium deposits formed after eating concentrated starches and sugars.
The gall bladder is
directly connected with the liver and with the blood stream by means of the
bile duct and the hepatic duct. All the food we eat is "broken down"
in the digestive tract, and the elements it contains are carried by the blood
to the liver for further processing and segregation. No concentrated grain or
flour product can be completely utilized for the reconstruction of cells and tissues,
particularly if it has been devitalized by heat. Its component elements,
however, must necessarily pass through the liver; and among these elements we
have calcium. Such starch molecules are not soluble in water.
Vital organic calcium is
needed by the entire system, and such calcium, the only kind that IS soluble in
water, can be obtained ONLY from fruits and vegetables, and their juices when
these are raw and fresh. As such, it passes through the liver and is completely
assimilated in the process of gland functions and cell and tissue building.
The calcium in all
concentrated starches and sugars which have been subjected to heat is
inorganic, and is not soluble in water. Its presence in the system is
extraneous and foreign, and as such is cast aside at every opportunity by the
blood and lymph streams. The first convenient dumping ground is the bile duct,
which carries it to the gall bladder. The next most convenient place is what we
may term the dead-ends of blood vessels either in the abdomen, resulting in
tumors, or in the anus, resulting in hemorrhoids. Such inorganic calcium atoms
as happen to get past these usually end up in the kidneys.
A few atoms of inorganic
calcium, either in the gall bladder or in the kidneys, may not do much harm,
but with a continuance of the use of bread, cereals, cakes, and other flour
products, the deposits become progressively cumulative and result in the
formation of gravel or stones in these organs.
It has been found from
long experience that the removal of these deposits or encumbrances by means of
surgery is often unnecessary except, perhaps, in the most extreme cases; and
even then, it is doubtful if better results could not be obtained by helping
Nature, the Great Healer, by the intelligent use of natural means.
Lemon juice, in the
proportion of the juice of one lemon to a tumblerful of hot water, taken many
times a day, supplemented with a tumblerful of the combination of carrot, beet,
and cucumber juice three or four times a day, has helped a great many sufferers
to experience with satisfaction the disappearance of both gravel and stones
sometimes within a matter of a few days or a few weeks.
A perfect example would
be to share the experience of a business man well into his forties. He stood
prominent in the business world having successfully placed on the highway to
fortune, several of the large nationwide chainstores in this country and one or
two in Great Britain. He has suffered acute pains for more than twenty years.
X-rays were taken with and without idophthalein. which is a dye used to detect
problems in what appeared to be the gallbladder area. The Dr.'s diagnosis was
confirmed with the results of the tests. He was suffering from stones in his
gallbladder. Fear and aversion to surgery was the only thing keeping his
gallbladder where it belonged.
He was then told about
the success of JUICE THERAPY, read one of the earlier editions of this book,
and sought aid from a person competent and experienced in this treatment. It
was explained to him, that in order to receive a relatively quick treatment
with these juices that he may experience, for a short time, more agonizing pain
than he had before. These pains could last for a few minutes or maybe even and
hour or so at a time, but would eventually cease all together with the passing
of the dissolved calcium. He drank ten or twelve glasses of hot water with the
juice of one lemon in each throughout the day and about three pints of carrot,
beet and cucumber juice daily. On the second day he did have some terrific
spasms of pain for 10 to 15 minutes each. By the end of the week the crisis
arrived and for about half an hour he rolled on the floor in agony; but the
pain suddenly left him and a short while afterward stones passed out and caused
a reaction like mud in his urine. That evening he was a different man. The next
day he took a long trip—from New York to Washington and on to Canada - with me
in my car, feeling 20 years younger and marveling at the simplicity of Natures
miracles.
This is not an isolated
instance. Thousands the world over have testified with gratitude to the
benefits derived from fresh-raw vegetable juices.
The combination of
carrot, beet, and cucumber juice gives us one of the finest cleansing and
healing aids for the gall bladder, liver, kidneys, and the prostate and other
sex glands.
Something else to bear
in mind is the fact that when we eat meat an excessive amount of uric acid is
generated in the system, which apparently cannot be completely eliminated by
the kidneys, thus causing a definite strain on these organs, reacting on the
rest of the body. This combination of juices is therefore invaluable in (his
respect to help cleanse the system. At the same time, it has been found
advisable to eliminate concentrated sugars and starches, as well as meat, for
awhile at least to give the body the opportunity it needs to readjust itself to
normalcy. Once the healthy condition of the body has been reestablished then of
course, we should know from experience that to devitalize it again, if we choose
to do so, we need only to go back to eating devitalized foods. It is truly
gratifying to find that many have no desire to return to a mediocre or worse
state of health. They have experienced the realization that health, vigor,
energy, and vitality are well worth retaining and that it is not a sacrifice to
exchange what they thought was palatable with what they now know is more
nutritional.
Nevertheless, nourishing
foods are, and can be made, palatable by the simple method of learning how to
do it. Study my book DIET & SALAD SUGGESTIONS.
BRUSSELS SPROUTS JUICE
The juice of Brussels
Sprouts combined with that of carrot, string bean, and lettuce furnishes a
combination of elements which helps to strengthen and regenerate the insulin
generating properties of the pancreatic functions of our digestive system. For
this reason, it has been found of inestimable benefit in cases of diabetes.
This benefit, however,
has been derived when all concentrated starches and sugars were avoided
altogether and when colonic irrigations and enemas were used regularly to
cleanse waste matter from the system.
CABBAGE JUICE
Duodenal ulcers have
responded almost miraculously to the drinking of cabbage juice. The only
drawback is the frequent generation of excessive gas. In any case, plain carrot
juice has been used with equal success and most people find it more palatable.
Cabbage juice has
wonderful cleansing and reducing properties. Sometimes it has a tendency to
cause distress because of gas forming in the intestines after drinking it. Such
gas is the result of waste putrefactive matter present in the intestines being
broken up by the cabbage juice, which causes a chemical reaction to set in and
may form gas. This is a natural condition—sulfuretted hydrogen, a foul smelling
gas, being the outcome of the cleansing elements in the juice acting on and
dissolving the waste matter. Enemas and colonic irrigations help to remove both
this excessive gas and the waste matter causing it.
The most valuable
properties in cabbage are the high sulphur and chlorine content and the
relatively large percentage of iodine. The combination of the sulphur and
chlorine causes a cleansing of the mucous membrane of the stomach and
intestinal tract, but this only applies when cabbage juice is taken in its raw
state without the addition of salt.
When excessive gas or
other distress is experienced after drinking raw cabbage juice, either straight
or in combination with other raw vegetable juices, it may be an indication of
an abnormal toxic condition within the intestinal tract. In such case it has
been found advisable, before much of the juice is used, to cleanse the
intestines thoroughly by drinking carrot, or carrot and spinach juice daily for
two or three weeks and taking enemas daily. It was found that once the
intestines were able to assimilate cabbage juice, it was invaluable as a
cleanser, particularly in the case of excessive adipose weight.
When raw cabbage juice
is added to raw carrot juice, it forms an excellent source of Vitamin C as a
cleansing medium, aiding particularly where infection of the gums is present
resulting in pyorrhea. When boiled or dehydrated with excessive heat, however,
the effectiveness of the enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and salts is destroyed.
One hundred and twenty pounds of cooked or canned cabbage could not furnish the
same vital organic food value that is assimilated from drinking one-half pint
of straight raw cabbage juice when properly prepared.
Cabbage juice has been
used very effectively to help the relief of ulcers and constipation. As
constipation is usually the primary cause of skin eruptions, these have also
been cleared up with the judicious use of this juice.
The addition of salt to
cabbage or its juice not only destroys its value, but is also harmful.
RAW CARROT JUICE
Depending on the
condition of the individual, raw carrot juice may be taken indefinitely in any
reasonable quantities—from one to six or eight pints a day. It has the effect
of helping to normalize the entire system. It is the richest source of Vitamin
A which the body can quickly assimilate and contains also an ample supply of
Vitamins B, C, D, E, G, and K. It helps to promote the appetite and is an aid
to digestion.
It is a valuable aid in
the improvement and maintenance of the bone structure of the teeth.
Nursing mothers should
drink plenty of raw carrot juice, properly prepared, to enhance the quality of
their milk, as a breast milk diet may under certain circumstances, not provide
sufficient vital foods. During the last months of pregnancy, raw carrot juice,
taken in sufficient quantities, tends to reduce the possibilities of puerperal
sepsis at childbirth. One pint of carrot juice, daily, has more constructive
body value than 25 pounds of calcium tablets.
Raw carrot juice is a
natural solvent for ulcerous and cancerous conditions. It is a resistant to
infections, doing most efficient work in conjunction with the adrenal glands.
It helps prevent infections of the eyes and throat as well as the tonsils and
sinuses and the respiratory organs generally. It also protects the nervous
system and is unequalled for increasing vigor and vitality.
Intestinal and liver
diseases are sometimes due to a lack of certain of the elements contained in
properly prepared raw carrot juice. When this is the case, then a noticeable
cleaning up of the liver may take place, and the material which was clogging it
may be found to dissolve. Frequently this is released so abundantly that the
intestinal and urinary channels are inadequate to care for this overflow, and
in a perfectly natural manner it is passed into the lymph for elimination from
the body by means of the pores of the skin. This material has a distinctly
orange or yellow pigment and while it is being so eliminated from the body will
sometimes discolor the skin. Whenever such a discoloration takes place after
drinking carrot or other juices, it is an indication that the liver is getting
a well-needed cleansing.
It is NOT the carrot
juice itself nor the carotene that comes through the skin, as this discoloration
will take place even if the juice is filtered to the point of clearing it of
all color pigment. It is just as practical an impossibility for the carrot
pigment itself to come through the skin as it would be for the red pigment of
the beet to turn the body red or the chlorophyll of the green vegetables to
paint the skin green from within.
In any case, is it not
better to have a healthy satin-like skin, even though it may be slightly on the
carrot shade, than to have the pasty complexion which, together with its
pimples and other blemishes, publicizes the unhealthy condition of the body?
Instead of becoming
distressed over the appearance of skin discoloration, which will in any case
eventually disappear, we should be gratified that the disintegration of the
liver has been stopped or prevented by the use of these juices.
This discoloration,
however, can be somewhat retarded by slowing up the process of cleansing by
changing or adding other juices to the particular one that causes such a rapid
cleansing activity.
The lack of sufficient
rest, sleep and overwork may also result in a certain amount of skin
discoloration.
The endocrine glands,
especially the adrenals and the gonads, require food elements found in raw
carrot juice. Sterility is sometimes overcome by its use. The cause of
sterility has been traced to the continuous use of foods in which atoms and
enzymes were destroyed by cooking or pasteurizing.
Dry skin, dermatitis,
and other skin blemishes are due to a deficiency in the body of some of these
food elements contained in carrot juice. This is also a factor in eye trouble,
as in ophthalmia, conjunctivitis, etc.
If properly extracted
from fresh, clean, good quality raw carrots, carrot juice is very rich in the
vital organic alkaline elements sodium and potassium. It also contains a good
supply of calcium, magnesium, and iron while the vital organic elements
phosphorus, sulphur, silicon, and chlorine balance perfectly with the former in
their action and reaction on the human system.
As an aid to dissolve
ulcers and cancer, raw carrot juice has proved itself the miracle of the age.
It was found essential, however, that it be properly prepared and every vestige
of concentrated sugar, starch and flour of every kind be completely eliminated
from the diet.
One of the most
insidious causes of ulcers and cancer has been discovered in the victim's
nursing resentments for a long time, all too often ever since childhood. Unless
resentments are completely dissolved, they can frustrate otherwise most effective
attempts to help the patient.
It sometimes happens
after drinking large quantities of carrot juice that a reaction is experienced
or perhaps some distress. This is a perfectly natural sequence as it is an
indication that Nature has started house cleaning in the body and that this
juice is the most needed implement for this purpose.
To jump to the
conclusion that the juice does not agree with one shows lack of understanding,
as carrot juice is nothing more nor less than the very finest quality of organic
water and the kind of nourishment that the body needs. If the juice is fresh
and has been properly made there is nothing whatever, even by the wildest
stretch of the imagination, that can do other than furnish the enzymes, vital
atoms, and the vital organic water which the starved body cells and tissues
crave and call for.
The addition of some raw
goat's milk or a little pure raw cream to the carrot juice gives it a somewhat
exotic flavor and often serves to relieve the monotony when a reaction or distress
may have a tendency to turn us against the plain juice.
It is pertinent to
remark that cream is a fat, pure and simple, while milk is definitely a
concentrated protein food. Cream goes through an entirely different digestive
process in our system than does milk; and while it is of course mucus-forming
to some degree, it is not in the same class of pernicious foods as milk.
One very good thing to
remember when we are overtaken by fatigue, distress, or reaction in our body is
the fact that our colon is perhaps responsible for more trouble and mischief
within our anatomy than all other causes and conditions put together. In our
experience, we have found that it is utterly impossible for a colon to develop
normally and to function successfully when one lives mostly or entirely on
cooked and processed foods. It is safe to assume therefore, that it would be
almost impossible to find many colons which are perfect.
This being the case, our
very first step, if we are suffering from distress or reaction, would be to
take a series of colonic irrigations, if possible, or at least, a number of
enemas until the cause of the trouble has come under control. The fresh-raw
vegetable juices would then have better opportunity to carry on their end of
the regeneration processes. The best food for the colon is the combination of
carrot and spinach juice, the formula is given on a later page in this book.
Many people do not have
the vaguest idea of what the Colon is, what it looks like or where it is
located in the body. I have reproduced a picture of it because I consider it of
such great importance. This picture of the COLON THERAPY CHART which I drew up,
and which measures about I7"x 22" and is intended to be framed and
hung on the wall of the office or home. (At the end of this book you will find
details about it).
Bear in mind that the
quantity of juices needed by the body is predicated on their quality. Usually
it will take a greater amount of juices which have been extracted by
centrifugal action to get the results obtained by juices made with a Triturator
(Pulverizer) and Hydraulic Press.
At alt times bear this
fact distinctly in mind that juices are the very finest nourishment we can get,
and if we continue to take them as long as we live the chances are that we will
live a healthier life much longer than we would without them.
Carrot juice is composed
of a combination of elements which nourish the entire system, helping to
normalize its weight as well as its chemical balance.
It nourishes the optic
system particularly, as evidenced by the many young men who applied for
admission as pilots to the schools of the army and navy but were rejected at
their first physical examination because of defective eyesight. A few weeks
later, after drinking an abundance of fresh raw carrot juice daily, they were
examined again. They were accepted with the requisite of perfection of eyesight.
If this were to happen
just once, it would no doubt be considered a phenomenon. If it were to happen
only twice, it would go down into the annals of healing history as a
coincidence. When it happens repeatedly, however, there is certainly sufficient
reason to place doubt in the background and realize that there are more things
in heaven and earth than even the most educated mind can conceive.
No less effective is the
fresh raw juice of the lowly carrot in helping the treatment of ulcers and
cancers. Tissues emaciated by those insidious ravages of cell starvation
classified as ulcers and cancers, have been nourished back to a healthier
condition by the abundant use of carrot juice as the principle item of
nourishment, and supplemented only by a carefully selected and prepared raw
diet.
The laymen is generally
awed, frightened, and puzzled at the very thought of these particular
afflictions, and yet their cause and progression is really simple to understand.
After the European war,
millions of youngsters in the desecrated regions—orphans without a home, a
roof, a destination—roamed the country in a state of starvation, we had the
picture of a national or international ulcer developing into a worldwide
cancer. Allowed to spread uncontrolled, their activities would result in crimes
and devastation beyond the wildest stretch of the imagination. Properly
nourished and trained, they would in a comparatively short time become orderly
and useful citizens.
So it is with the human
body. Due to the deficiency of live atoms in the food people have been eating,
particularly during the present and immediately preceding generations, the
starved and half-starved body cells, unable to function properly and
efficiently the way they are intended to, rebel and become disorganized. Not
being entirely dead these cells become dislodged from their anchorage
(figuratively speaking), and float around until they find some location within
the human anatomy where they can group together. With the entire body suffering
more or less from live atoms starvation, there are plenty of locations in the
body where protective resistance is low.
We must not conclude
that ulcers and cancer result only from physical imperfections. As we have
already pointed out, these ailments and many others may very likely stem from
lifelong resentments, from stress due to states of mind such as jealousy, fear,
hate, worry, frustration, and other negative intangible impediments. These are
the first things to be dissolved and banished. Nevertheless we must not
overlook the fact that Malnutrition and failure to maintain the system in the
highest possible state of cleanliness within and without, and mentally, may
definitely also be contributing factors.
Based on this premise
and on the experience resulting from our research, it is our contention that
the search for the cause of cancer does not lie in the field of fantastic
speculation of uncontrollable radium experiments, but rather in the deficiency
of life in the atoms of the food we eat. On the other hand, the search for a
cure would more intelligently lead us to the first principles of Godliness,
namely, cleansing the body of waste matter so that the poisons that occur as a
result of the waste there from should not interfere with Nature's healing
processes. Simultaneously furnishing the body with an abundance of the most
vital live-food atoms available for the regeneration of the cells which would
enable the tissues first, to build up resistance against further degeneration,
and then, to proceed with constructive regeneration.
The sooner we realize
that not a single organ in the human body works mechanically or automatically
without relation to the body as a whole, the sooner will we be able to control
the functions of our system. We do not know what form of intelligence the
various parts of the human organism possess nor in just what way they operate;
but we do know that some inherent form of intelligence tries to protect every
gland bone, nerve, and muscle in our anatomy in spite of everything man does,
usually through lack of knowledge, to destroy himself through the food he eats.
The search for the cause
of any sickness or disease should lead us probably first of all to the canned
food shelves of the groceries; the Hour mills; the sugar, candy, and synthetic
"soft drink" factories. Here we should investigate the products
containing the dead atoms which modern civilization has attempted to develop as
food and nourishment for the human body. We cannot have life and death at one
and the same time, and no canned food is permitted by the government to be sold
unless every vestige of life in the food in the can has been completely
destroyed, for otherwise it would spoil. No cooked bread or processed cereal is
eaten until it has come through the heat of the baking oven, which destroys any
life element which might have been present. "Fortifying" such bread
merely adds more dead atoms to it.
Analyzing the food situation
from these angles, it is obvious that whether or not we are able to live on all
raw live food because of choice, environment, or circumstances, the use of an
abundant variety of fresh-raw vegetable and fruit juices is fundamentally
essential. It is important to bear in mind that vegetable juices are the
builders of the body, while the fruit juices are principally the cleansers of
the body. The former contain a higher proportion of protein elements; while the
latter contain a higher percentage of carbohydrate elements.
It is interesting to the
laymen, but probably unprofitable to cancer and other similar foundations, to
realize people who live solely on fresh-raw foods supplemented with a
sufficient volume and variety of fresh-raw vegetable and fruit juices, rarely
develop cancers. On the other hand, the faith manifested by so many cancer
afflicted individuals in the raw food and juices regimen seems to be a very
definite indication that fresh-raw carrot juice has an indisputable value in
this respect.
To us this indicates a
thoroughly unorthodox but perhaps highly efficient and much less costly line of
investigation. Research along this line which has already been successfully
carried on for years by those seeking and using Nature's help, may be highly
disconcerting to some scientists but, undoubtedly, extremely beneficial to the
ones afflicted.
We have found and we
hope that the world in general will soon find that the cleansing of the body by
colon irrigations and enemas, and by eating sufficient raw food as well as
drinking a sufficient volume and variety of fresh-raw vegetable juices daily,
will afford us little or no cause to know from further personal experience what
sickness and disease feel like.
CARROT JUICE MOLECULE LIKE BLOOD MOLECULE
By means of the latest
super-microscopes, it has been possible to determine that the carrot juice
molecule is exactly analogous to that of the blood molecule, a most interesting
and revealing fact. No wonder we have found the juice of carrots so extremely
beneficial.
CELERY JUICE
The greatest value of
raw celery lies in the fact that it contains an exceptionally high percentage
of vital organic sodium. It is one of the chemical properties of sodium to
maintain calcium in solution. This is particularly the case in the human
system, as we will presently see.
Raw celery contains more
than four times as much vital organic sodium as it does calcium. This fact
makes it one of the most valuable juices for people who have used concentrated
sugars and starches more or less consistently all their lives. Bread, biscuits,
cakes, cereals, doughnuts, spaghetti, rice—in fact every food and food product
containing flour—comes under the classification of concentrated starch. White,
brown, and every kind of sugar which has been manufactured or processed and
every food product containing any of it (including candies, "soft
drinks," commercial ice creams, etc.), come very definitely under the
classification of concentrated carbohydrates.
Experience has
definitely taught us, however, that such foods are destructive; and their
continued use results in a nourishment- deficiency. What follows is an
alarming number of ailments.
We have found that such
concentrated carbohydrates are without question among the most destructive of
our "civilized" foods. The human digestive processes were never
intended by Nature to be called upon to convert these so-called foods into
nourishment for the cells and tissues of the body. Even from before
adolescence, the results of such food are apparent in the degeneration of the
human system. To consider the brief span of two or three score years as
constituting old-age is nothing less than a downright insult to Nature and to
our Creator, it is a shameful admission that we do not know how to live and
have not taken the trouble to learn the first principles of regenerating our
body. It is a confession that we eat ourselves into the grave by catering to
our appetites.
In the first place,
calcium is one of the most essential elements in our diet; but it must be
consumed organically, and through vitally ORGANIC atoms. When any
calcium-containing food is cooked or processed as in any of the above mentioned
carbohydrate foods, the calcium is automatically converted into INORGANIC
atoms. As such, they are not soluble in water and they cannot furnish the
nourishment which the cells in our body require for regeneration. Furthermore,
enzymes, destroyed at temperatures of 130°F and above, convert the atoms into
dead matter. The result is that such foods literally clog up the system
resulting in conditions as arthritis, diabetes, coronary (heart) disturbances,
varicose veins, hemorrhoids, gall and kidney stones.
In the second place,
these deposits of inorganic calcium, being void of life, increase cumulatively
when nothing is done to rid the body of them. In the presence of vital organic
sodium, however, and with the assistance of other elements and processes
described later in this book, they can be dislodged and maintained in solution
until they have been eliminated from the system. These processes are set forth
in greater detail in our discussion of Arthritis in this book.
Sodium plays a very
important part in the physiological processes of the body. One of the most
important being the maintenance of the fluidity of the blood and lymph in
preventing their becoming too thick. The only sodium that is of any value in
this respect, however, is the vital ORGANIC sodium which is derived from fresh
vegetables and some fruits.
CELERY IS RICH IN SALT (SODIUM)
The "regular"
Table Salt is composed of insoluble inorganic elements. Varicose veins,
hardening of the arteries and other ailments have been traced to the excessive
use of this type of salt.
Salt is necessary in the
generation and functions of digestive fluids in the system. Without salt good
digestion is virtually impossible, but such salt must be entirely soluble in
water.
Every cell in the body
is constantly bathed in a solution of saline water, and if this is not
maintained at its required level dehydration sets in.
In the commercial
production of TABLE SALT extremely high temperatures are used running around
I500()F to solidify the salt with additives and adulterants to coat
the salt crystals to cause the salt to pour readily under nearly all conditions.
Such salt is not
completely water soluble.
To overcome this
handicap, whenever we need to use salt, we use ROCK SALT, the pure Rock Salt
used in water purifiers.
Rock Salt is obtained
from soil sodium rock formations and is not subjected to heat. This salt we
have found to be soluble in water and its use, in moderation of course, is
found to be compatible and satisfactory. In order to use it, we grind it to the
fineness we desire, in a small nut or coffee-grinder, such as the Moulinex or
any of the similar grinders sold by Health Food Stores.
Such Rock Salt is a
natural catalyst which the enzyme's in the body can cause to be utilized
constructively.
Rock Salt will usually
be found to contain the following elements:
Sodium Chloride 90% to
95%
Calcium Sulphate .05% to
1%
Magnesium Sulphate .05%
to 1%
Magnesium Chloride .05%
to l%
The moisture content may
run from 2.5% to 6%, while occasionally there is a trace of
"insoluble matter."
The "regular Table
Salt" is likely to contain in addition to the above elements in quite
different proportions:
Potassium Chloride Sodium Sulphate
Potassium Sulphate Barium Chloride
Magnesium Bromide Strontium
Chloride Calcium Chloride
Most of these elements
tend to inhibit the dissolving of the salt in water.
During hot, dry weather,
we have found it most soothing and comforting to drink a tumblerful of
fresh-raw celery juice during the morning, and another in the afternoon between
meals. This has the effect of normalizing the body temperature, with the result
that we arc perfectly comfortable while those around us are drenched in
perspiration and sweltering in discomfort.
Sodium is one of the
important elements in the elimination of carbon dioxide from the system.
Deficiency of vital organic sodium results in bronchial and lung troubles,
which are aggravated by the presence of extraneous matter in the lungs, such as
tobacco smoke. Such deficiency is one of the concomitant causes of premature
aging, particularly in women. As a matter of fact, women who smoke age about 15
years during every 5 years in which they smoke.
Nicotine is to a great
extent the cause of so-called "frayed nerves." Smoking does not in
any way alleviate, but rather aggravates this condition. The use of tobacco
creates only a temporary state of mental well-being at the cost of more or less
permanent degeneration of tissues, though of course, advertising speaks falsely
to the contrary. Tobacco smoke has the effect of inhibiting the taste buds.
The combination of
celery with other juices is generally beneficial, and certain formulas have
been used to help clear up deficiency and other conditions in the body, with
almost phenomenal results. When combined with other juices, the proportion of
the elements in each individual juice is of course changed to correspond to the
sum total of the similar elements in the other juices. Thus we get a totally
different formula when juices are combined than we have in any one of the
juices individually. It is the discovery of the effect of these combinations
and formulas that has proved of such immeasurable benefit to ailing humanity
from the cradle to the grave.
In the case of nervous
afflictions resulting from the degeneration of the sheathing of the nerves. the
abundant use of carrot and celery juice has helped to restore these to their
normal condition and thus alleviate or remove the affliction.
Celery is very high in
magnesium and iron content, a combination which is invaluable as a food for the
blood cells. Many diseases of the nervous and blood system are due chiefly to
the inorganic mineral elements and salts taken into the body by means of
devitalized foods and sedatives.
If there is an
inadequate supply of sulphur, iron, and calcium in the diet, or even if there
is an abundant supply of these, but in devitalized inorganic form, then asthma,
rheumatism, hemorrhoids, and other disturbances may result. Unbalanced
proportions of sulphur and phosphorus in the diet may create conditions of
mental irritability, neurasthenia, and even insanity. Also, many diseases
hitherto ascribed to excessive uric acid in the system may really be caused by
the consumption of foods too rich in phosphoric acid and deficient in sulphur.
The combination of
carrot and celery juices furnishes a balance of these organic minerals in
excellent combination to combat tendencies toward these diseases and help to
restore the body to normalcy where these afflictions have started or taken
root.
CUCUMBER JUICE
Cucumber is probably the
best natural diuretic known, secreting and promoting the flow of urine. It has,
however, many other valuable properties, for example, as the promotion of hair
growth, due to its high silicon and sulphur content, particularly when mixed
with carrot, lettuce, and spinach juice. It contains more than 40% potassium,
10% sodium, 7.5% calcium, 20% phosphorus, and 7% chlorine.
The addition of cucumber
juice to carrot juice has a very beneficial effect on rheumatic ailments which
result from an excessive retention of uric acid in the system. The addition of
some beet juice to this combination speeds up the general process.
The high potassium
content of the cucumber makes this juice very valuable in helping conditions of
high and low blood pressure. It is equally helpful in afflictions of the teeth
and gums, such as in pyorrhea.
Our nails and our hair
need particularly the combination of elements which fresh vital cucumber juice
furnishes, helping to prevent the splitting of the nails and falling out of the
hair.
Skin eruptions of many
kinds have been helped by drinking cucumber juice to which the juices of carrot
and lettuce have been added. The addition of a little alfalfa juice in some
cases has helped to speed up their efficiency.
DANDELION JUICE
This juice is one of our
most valuable tonics. It is useful to counteract hyperacidity and to help
normalize the alkalinity of the system. While exceedingly high in potassium,
calcium, and sodium, it is our richest food in magnesium and iron content.
Magnesium is essential
for giving firmness to the skeleton and preventing softness of the bones, A
sufficient quantity of vital organic magnesium and calcium in the food during
pregnancy will help prevent the loss or degeneration of teeth due to
childbirth, and give firmness and strength to the bones of the child.
Vital organic magnesium
in proper combination with calcium, iron, and sulphur, is essential in the
formation of certain ingredients of the blood. Such magnesium has great
vitalizing powers and is a constituent as builder of body cells, particularly
the tissues of the lungs and the nervous system.
Vital organic magnesium
can be obtained only from live, fresh plants and must be used fresh and raw. It
must not be confused with manufactured magnesium preparations which, as
inorganic minerals, interfere with the proper healthy functions of the body.
All chemical magnesium
preparations, whether powdered or in so-called milk form, result in deposits of
inorganic waste matter in the system. While they may give the more or less
immediate results claimed for them, such results are purely temporary. The
aftereffects of the deposit of such inorganic matter in the body may have
repercussions of a more or less devastating nature in the future. We prefer to
follow in the footsteps of the sage whose principle was to be safe now rather
than to be sorry later.
Vital organic magnesium,
as obtained raw from vegetable juices, is a nourishing element of inestimable
value to the human system.
Raw dandelion juice
obtained from the leaves as well as the root, and combined with carrot and
turnip leaves juice, will assist in remedying spinal and other bone ailments,
as well as give strength and firmness to the teeth, thus helping to prevent
pyorrhea and decay.
ENDIVE JUICE
Endive is the curly
vegetable resembling lettuce, and known also as escarole and chicory. In our
east coast markets the curly endive is usually known as chicory, the word
endive being usually reserved for the winter-grown heads of the Witloff or
Brussels Chicory, which consists of only the long, more or less straight, thick
creamy-white leaves, 5 to 6 inches long by one or two inches wide, pressed
closely together. This is not as rich as the green varieties of endive, as its
large leaves are cut off and the roots set in cellars in sand to bleach them.
Thus, this type is deficient in chlorophyll and in some of the essential
minerals of which the full-grown vegetable is so rich.
Endive is closely allied
to the dandelion plant, and their chemical constituents are more or less alike.
Endive however, has food elements of which the optic system is constantly in
need.
The addition of endive
juice to that of carrot, celery, and parsley, we furnish nourishment to the
optic nerve and muscular system, which bring amazing results in correcting many
eye defects. One or two pints daily of this combination has frequently
corrected eye trouble in the course of a few months to the extent that normal
vision was regained making the use of glasses unnecessary.
One of the most
outstanding cases which has come to our attention is that of a lady whose home
was in West Virginia, south of Pittsburgh. Cataracts took away her eyesight
completely, and for nearly three years no hope whatever was given to her that
she could ever see again. She heard that in Pittsburgh there was a very
efficient plant in operation that made fresh juices daily from a large
Triturating and Hydraulic press. It had been said that miracles were happening
as a result of fresh, raw vegetable juice therapy and she decided to give it a
try.
She followed rigidly the
necessary cleansing regime of colonic irrigations and enemas to remove all
interference by waste matter in the body; she ate only raw vegetables and
fruits with no concentrated starches or sugars; she drank daily:
One pint of carrot,
celery, parsley, and endive juice,
One pint of carrot juice,
One pint of carrot,
celery, parsley, and spinach juice,
One pint of carrot and
spinach juice.
She recovered her
eyesight sufficiently in less than one year's time so that she could read
newspapers and magazines with the aid of a magnifying glass!
Endive is one of the
richest sources of Vitamin A among the green vegetables.
Carrot, celery, and
endive juices combined, are most helpful in asthma and hay fever, provided the
cause of these conditions has been permanently removed from the diet. The
cause, naturally, is usually milk and the concentrated starches and sugars.
In combination with
celery and parsley, endive is very helpful in anemia and in functional heart
trouble (when this is not the result of gas in the intestines), and as a blood
tonic. It is also very beneficial in conditions involving the spleen.
Endive juice in almost
any combination promotes the secretion of bile and is, therefore, very good for
both liver and gall bladder disfunctions.
FENNEL (Finocchio) JUICE
There arc two varieties
of fennel—the common garden or sweet fennel, which is used mostly as condiment
and flavoring, and Florence Fennel usually known as Finocchio and used on a
very large scale by Italians and other Latin races.
The former is classified
mainly as an herb and is not suitable for use in juice form except under the
care of an expert on the use of herbs.
The Florence variety,
however, makes an excellent juice.The plant belongs to the celery family, but
its juice is much sweeter and more aromatic than celery juice. In fact, the
plant is sometimes known erroneously as anise celery, but the Italian name,
Finocchio (pronounced Finokkio), is more generally used.
Fennel juice is a very
valuable blood builder and is, therefore, of the utmost benefit in menstrual
disorders. It has been used successfully alone or in combination with carrot
and beet juice in this connection.
GARLIC JUICE
Metaphorically speaking,
garlic itself is bad enough but garlic juice by itself may cause devastating
social ostracism for the one who drinks it. It is very beneficial, if one has
the mental fortitude to overcome social handicaps, and the intestinal fortitude
to endure the general discomfort which accompanies the more or less rapid house
cleaning of one's system.
Garlic is rich in
mustard oils and this, in conjunction with the combination of cleansing
elements composing it, has a most beneficial effect on the entire system, from
stimulating the appetite and the secretion of gastric juices, to the promotion
of peristalsis and diuretic action.
The ethers in garlic
juice are so potent and penetrating thai they help to dissolve accumulations of
mucus in the sinus cavities, in the bronchial lubes, and in the lungs. They
help the exudation of poisons from the body through the pores of the skin, until
we wonder whether the effluvium of the fragrance is any better than the dormant
poisons within us.
Garlic juice has proved
very effective in helping to eliminate intestinal parasites. Dysentery can be
most effectively helped with this juice, and Amoebic Dysentery responds to it
no less than other kinds. Parasites and germs, however, whether amoeba or any
other kind, cannot live unless there is nourishment for them to thrive on. If
the eliminative organs are filled with putrefactive waste matter naturally
germs will be present by the million, and if more waste matter is added
cumulatively by the daily ingestion of meat, other inorganic foods, and drugs,
such germs and parasites are in their element, and they propagate and multiply.
This is wonderful for the germs, but disconcerting to the victim. Thus, garlic
juice helps to eliminate much of this condition, but to remove the cause we
find that we have to go much farther. Intestinal bathings by means of colon
irrigations and enemas have been found to be essential until the waste matter
has been thoroughly cleaned out. The diet then has been so planned that the
food was assimilated as completely as possible with the least liability of
waste retention in the body. This has been successfully achieved with an ample
supply and sufficient variety of fresh-raw vegetable juices supplementing a
well-balanced raw food diet.
To make garlic juice,
however, almost precludes the use of the juice machine for any other juices,
because once the machine has been so used, it is almost impossible to eradicate
the aroma for several days, and any juices subsequently made on that machine
may be flavored with that bouquet!
HORSERADISH SAUCE
We do not use the
juice of horseradish, it's ethers arc quite potent and powerful enough when
the horseradish is finely ground or triturated (pulverized). The effect of
taking one half a teaspoonful of the triturated (pulverized) horseradish will
leave an indelible impression on the memory and a dissolving reaction on the
mucus in the sinus cavities. Once this has been tried in pulp form, this
impression and this reaction will no doubt solve the question of why we do not
use it in juice form.
The pulp from freshly
triturated (pulverized) horseradish mixed immediately with lemon juice and
taken twice a day at a dose of one- half teaspoon between meals, has
effectively helped to dissolve mucous. This is true not only in the sinus
cavities but also throughout the body and without damage to the mucous
membranes themselves. It acts as a solvent and cleanser of abnormal mucus in
the human system.
Used judiciously, as
indicated, mixed only with lemon juice, we have found that it does not irritate
the kidneys, the bladder, nor the mucous membranes of the digestive tract.
in addition to the value
of the ethers in dissolving mucus, horseradish sauce is a valuable diuretic,
particularly beneficial in dropsical conditions.
The horseradish sauce
should be prepared fresh and should not be used when it is more than one week
old. It must be kept cold in a closed bottle or jar although its potency is
increased if allowed to warm up to room temperature when using it. It should be
moistened with plenty of lemon juice.
Horseradish sauce when
taken as suggested, one-half teaspoonful in the course of the morning and
one-half teaspoonful during the afternoon, daily, may at first cause a copious
overflowing of tears, depending on how much mucus is packed in the sinus
cavities and other parts of the system. Except for the lemon juice mixed with
it, nothing else should be taken to dilute it, nor should anything be taken to
drink for a few moments after eating it. This procedure has been followed for
weeks or months if necessary, until the horseradish sauce could be eaten
without any sensation resulting from it. It then indicated the practically
complete dissolution of the mucus. For any condition of sinus mucus, this has
been found a very effective natural means to help remove the CAUSE of this
annoyance.
As a rule, the most
satisfactory results are obtained when the mixture is comprised of the juice of
two or three lemons to one-fourth pint of triturated (pulverized) horseradish,
making the mixture the consistency of a thick sauce.
See the section covering
Radish Juice.
JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE JUICE
This vegetable, when properly
triturated (pulverized) and pressed, can furnish 3 pints of juice from 4 pounds
of the vegetable itself. It is rich in alkaline mineral elements, particularly
potassium, which represents more than 50% of all the rest of the mineral
elements combined.
The artichoke is derived
from a species of sunflower. It is the tuber (a swelling or knob-like growth on
a plant) of a species of sunflower that grows extensively in Italy and is known
there as Carciofo or Archicioffo-Girasole. The word Girasole has been slithered
into the Anglicized Jerusalem, it's definition being simply sunflower.
When raw, this vegetable
contains the enzyme inulase and a large amount of inulin. Inulin is a substance
resembling starch and is converted into levulose by the enzyme inulase. It is
therefore, a tuber which diabetics can eat with impunity. Its juice is very
beneficial and palatable, whether taken alone or with carrot juice.
KALE JUICE
Kale has much the same
chemical analysis as cabbage and may be used in the same manner. See Cabbage
Juice.
KELP
For millions of years,
rains have washed layer after layer of soil and all other earthly composed
materials from all of land, mountains, and hills. All this has gone down to the
bottom of the sea, thus giving to the bed of the oceans the most fertile soil
in the world.
If I were to eat flesh
foods, I would choose fish. As fish feed on the contents of seas and rivers,
their flesh naturally contains more elements — minerals and trace elements —
than any other flesh.
As for vegetation,
seaweed is one of our most valuable food supplements. Its roots are sometimes
as much as 29,000 to 30,000 feet below the surface of the oceans, with
tentacles floating to the surface where, with the help of its enzymes and the
rays of the sun, it bursts forth into nodules and leaves.
The leaves are known as
sea-lettuce and dulse. Dulse is an important additive to meals in Scotland,
Ireland and many other nations. In the United States and Canada, dulse is used
extensively as a dietary health food supplement in the form of dried seaweed
leaves.
The seaweed with large
leaves is usually dried, crushed or ground and is used in powdered or granule
form as KELP.
Seaweed in any of these
varieties is an excellent source of organic iodine, because of the mineral and
the trace elements which are not readily obtainable in our most common
vegetables.
The combination of the
earthy elements, soil, and seawater at the bottom of our oceans contain more
than 59 of the elements in nature. Thus, we can appreciate the value of seafood
to our nutritional programs.
The following are these
59 elements: —

Using Kelp and Dulse in
moderation as food supplements, we can be fairly sure of furnishing our system
with at least some of the trace elements so necessary for our well-being, which
are not available in vegetables and fruits.
In our home we usually
have a salt shaker on our table, filled with Kelp Granules and a dish of Dulse
which we use freely with our salads and with our juices.
Adding some Kelp to the
Potassium Combination (carrot-celery- parsley and spinach juice) we enrich the
benefit derived from this valuable mixture, and find it very beneficial for the
glandular system, particularly for the thyroid gland.
Dulse and Kelp are
obtainable from your Health Food Store. Do not use any of the Iodine dispensed
by the drug stores on your food.
LEEK JUICE
The juice of leeks is
milder than that of onions and garlic. The information on garlic juice applies
to a great extent to that of leeks.
LETTUCE JUICE
Lettuce juice has many
essential values to the human body. It has great quantities of iron and
magnesium. Iron is the most active element in the body, and it is necessary
that it be renewed more frequently than any other. The liver and spleen are the
storage places of iron, where it is stored for any sudden demand that may be
made upon the body, for example, the rapid formation of red blood corpuscles in
the case of a heavy loss of blood. The iron is stored in the liver for the
particular purpose, among others, of furnishing mineral elements to any part of
the body in an emergency, as in the case of a hemorrhage; also in the event
that the food eaten does not contain the necessary quantity of this element in
vital organic form.
The storage of iron in
the spleen acts as an electric storage battery where the blood is recharged
with the necessary electricity for its proper functions. The magnesium in
lettuce has exceptional vitalizing powers, particularly in the muscular
tissues, brain, and nerves. Vital organic salts of magnesium are cell builders,
especially of the nerve system and of the tissues of the lungs. They also
assist in maintaining the normal fluidity of the blood and other functions
without which it would be impossible for metabolism to operate properly.
As magnesium salts can
operate efficiently only if there is sufficient calcium present, the
combination of these elements in the lettuce makes this food exceedingly
valuable.
When combined with
carrot juice, the properties of lettuce juice are intensified by the addition
of Vitamin A in the carrot and also the valuable sodium therein which assists
in maintaining the calcium in the lettuce in constant solution until utilized
by the body.
Lettuce contains more
than 38% potassium, 15% calcium, more than 5% iron, and about 6% magnesium.
Lettuce also contains
more than 9% phosphorus, which is one of the principle constituents of the
brain, and an ample supply of sulphur, which is one of the component parts of
the hemoglobin of the blood, acting therein as an oxidizing agent. Many nervous
afflictions are due chiefly to these two elements, sulphur and phosphorus,
taken in inorganic form as in cereals and meat.
Together with silicon,
which lettuce contains more than 8%, sulphur and phosphorus are essential in
the proper maintenance and development of the skin, the sinews, and the hair.
When one consumes excessive amount of these elements in an inorganic form, i.e.
cereals and devitalized foods, the roots of the hair do not obtain their proper
nourishment: hence one of the reasons for hair loss.
Drinking a daily
abundance of juice composed of carrot, lettuce, and spinach, will furnish food
to the roots and nerves of the hair, thereby stimulating growth. Hair tonics in
this respect are of little or no value except that they furnish massaging for the
scalp. They cannot feed the hair but merely stimulate the action of the nerves
and blood vessels and so assist the proper food in reaching the hair roots
through the blood stream.
Another efficient juice
combination to help the growth of hair and restore it to its natural color is
carrot, lettuce, green pepper, and fresh alfalfa juice. (See preceding section
on alfalfa juice.)
When making juice from
lettuce for definite therapeutic purposes, it is best to use the leaves that
are of the darker shade of green, omitting those which are inside the head of
lettuce and have remained white, as the former are much richer in chlorophyll
and other vital important elements than the latter.
The juice of lettuce
leaves has been a great boon and relief to those suffering from tuberculosis
and from gastric disturbances. It is also a valuable diuretic.
Because of its richness
in iron and other valuable vital elements, lettuce juice has been given to
infants with carrot juice, with highly satisfactory results whether they were
breast or bottle-fed.
COS or ROMAINE LETTUCE JUICE
Although a member of the
lettuce family, Romaine Lettuce has an entirely different chemical composition
from that of Head lettuce. It originated in the Island of Cos, in the Greek
Archipelago, and in Great Britain it is known as "Cos Lettuce."
The juice of Romaine
Lettuce, with the addition of a small amount of kelp (seaweed) has been found
to contain properties conducive to helping the activity of the Adrenal Cortex
in its function of secreting its hormone. Adrenaline, to keep the body in
balance.
Its particular value is
in its rich sodium content which is 60% higher than its potassium content. This
makes it one of the most beneficial juices for conditions affecting the Adrenal
Glands. For instance a person with Addison's Disease requires the maximum
amount of vital organic sodium with a relatively low percentage of potassium to
compensate for Adrenal Cortex hormone deficiency. This specifically
proportioned juice is therefore essentially very relative to just such a
person's needs.
In the treatment of
Addison's Disease, we have seen some remarkable results when an ample supply of
fresh-raw juices was used daily in which this chemical composition more or less
prevailed. The diet was held rigidly to the elimination of all concentrated
starches and sugars, all meat of every kind, and all vegetables containing an
excess of potassium over sodium. This narrowed the choice of vegetables and
their juices to: beets, celery, Romaine lettuce, spinach, and Swiss chard. Also
included in the diet were fresh pomegranate, strawberries, tomatoes, and figs,
honey, almonds, and beechnuts.
Fresh-raw carrot juice
was added to all or any of the above juices with much benefit. In some extreme
cases, some fresh-raw goat's milk with carrot juice was found helpful.
On this basis, with a
regular cleansing program by means of colonic irrigations and enemas excellent
results were obtained.
MUSTARD GREENS JUICE
Mustard greens are
valuable in salads. The high content of mustard oil, when the greens are made
into juice, may be irritating to the alimentary tract and to the kidneys.
Mustard greens contain a high percentage of oxalic acid. They should therefore
never be eaten when cooked. Read the chapter on Oxalic Acid.
Although the juice of
mustard greens, by themselves, may cause some discomfort, nevertheless, a small
quantity in combination with carrot, spinach and turnip juice has been used
with much benefit to help dissolve hemorrhoids.
As in watercress, the
sulphur and phosphorus percentage is very high in the mustard greens, and their
effect on the system is almost identical to that of watercress. See Watercress.
ONION JUICE
Somewhat milder than
garlic, with a less pungent aroma, onions and their juices do, without question,
build us up physically to a remarkable degree, while at one and the same time
they tear us down socially.
What we have said about
garlic applies quite fully to the onion and its juice, bearing in mind that
what may be termed the repellent atmosphere of the garlic and its juice is
somewhat subdued in the case of the onion.
PAPAYA JUICE
While papaya is
definitely a fruit and not a vegetable, it is pertinent to refer to it here
because of its remarkable therapeutic qualities.
Until recently this fruit
was practically unknown in the North as it is strictly a tropical fruit.
Like a melon or a squash
in shape, it matures in many sizes from less than one pound to as much as 20
and more pounds each.
Its particular
qualification for our attention is its juice. When the green fruit is
triturated (pulverized) and pressed it is found to contain a principle known as
papain, which has much the same digestive effect as pepsin in our digestive
processes. It also contains fibrin, a principle rarely found except in the body
of man and animals. This fruit is readily digestible in gastric and pancreatic
juices and is especially valuable in the coagulation or clotting of blood
either superficial or internal.
The green, unripe papaya
has much more active papain enzymes than the ripe (this activity being somewhat
dissipated in the ripening processes). The juice of the green papaya has helped
correct intestinal disorders, including ulcerous and more serious conditions in
an incredibly short time.
We have frequently seen
the crushed pulp, including the skin, of the green papaya applied as a poultice
to serious lacerations and the following day hardly more than the scar was
apparent. We had a finger seriously crushed in a machine, and the application
of a similar poultice left the finger usable within two or three days.
As a juice, both the
green and the ripe papaya are unsurpassed as a remedy to help most afflictions
of the body. Truly. Nature has given us in this fruit the most comprehensive
means of first-aid in both internal and external ills.
PARSLEY JUICE
Parsley is an herb.
Raw parsley juice is one
of the most potent of the juices. It should never be taken alone in quantities
of more than one or two ounces at a time unless mixed with a sufficient
quantity of carrot or other raw vegetable juices such as celery, lettuce, or
spinach, and even then, in not too great a proportion in relation to the volume
of other juices.
Raw parsley juice has
properties which are essential to oxygen metabolism in maintaining the normal
action of the adrenal and thyroid glands. The elements in parsley are
proportioned in such a manner that they help to maintain the blood vessels,
particularly the capillaries and arterioles in a healthy condition. It is an
excellent food for the genitourinary tract, being of great assistance in
conditions of calculi in the kidneys and bladder, albuminuria, nephritis, and
other kidney troubles. It has been used effectively in dropsy.
It is also efficient in
every ailment connected with the eyes and optic nerve system. Weak eyes,
ulceration of the cornea, cataracts, conjunctivitis, ophthalmia in all of its
stages or laziness of the pupils have been effectively treated by drinking raw
parsley juice mixed with carrot juice and with carrot, celery, and endive juices.
Never drink too great a
quantity of raw parsley juice by itself, as its high concentration may result
in a disarrangement of the nervous system. Taken with other juices properly
mixed, it is extremely beneficial.
Strictly speaking,
parsley belongs to the herbs classification; hence, its highly concentrated
effect. It is used effectively to help promote menstrual discharge,
particularly in conjunction with beet juice or with beet, carrot, and cucumber
juices. Cramps as a result of menstrual irregularities have been relieved and
frequently corrected entirely by the regular use of these juices when
concentrated starch and sugar foods have been omitted from the diet.
RAW POTASSIUM BROTH
There are many
vegetables rich in potassium, the outstanding of which are carrot, celery,
parsley, and spinach. To obtain the full value of this potassium element, it
should be taken as a drink in its raw, undiluted state so that the body may
absorb and assimilate it completely in its natural form.
The organic minerals and
salts in this combination of raw potassium "broth" embrace
practically the entire range of those required by the body. Its effect in
reducing excessive acidity in the stomach has been truly remarkable. There is
probably no food more complete in every respect than this for the human
organism.
When the sick arc unable
to assimilate other food it has been found that raw potassium broth has usually
furnished the nourishment to bring the patient back to normal. In the case of
convalescents, raw potassium broth is invaluable, and it is astonishing that
all hospitals and sanitoria have not adopted this food as a regular part of
their daily diet.
Some people do not find
Potassium as palatable as the straight carrot juice or some of the other juice
combinations. We must bear in mind however, that when the body is starved for
the live atoms of food so essential for the regeneration of the cells and
tissues of the body, the time has passed when the matter of taste has any
bearing whatever on the choice of the juices we need.
As we have previously
staled no drug in the entire Pharmacoepia will supply the body with the live
organic food atoms, vitamins, and hormones essential for the regeneration of
the wear and tear that results in sickness and disease. Such food is most
quickly obtained by the body when we drink fresh-raw vegetable juices.
The atoms that make up
the cells and tissues of our anatomy are mineral and chemical elements. Our
glands, organs, and in fact, every part of the systems represent combinations
of such atoms in certain definite patterns. It is therefore why we are able to
determine that certain combinations of chemical and live mineral elements in
our food, and particularly in our juices, can nourish corresponding parts of
our body.
PARSNIP JUICE
This juice has a very
low calcium content and much less sodium, but is very rich in potassium,
phosphorus, sulphur, silicon, and chlorine. Because of the low calcium-sodium
content, the all-around food value of this vegetable is not as great as that of
some of the other tubers, but the therapeutic value of the juice of its leaves
and root place it high on the list of beneficial juices.
The rich silicon-sulphur
content is most helpful in correcting the condition of brittle nails. The
phosphorus-chlorine elements are of particular benefit to the lungs and the
bronchial system. Thus making this juice an excellent food for tubercular and
pneumonia victims, and those afflicted with emphysema.
The high potassium
content is of such excellent value to the brain that this juice has been
effectively used in many mental disorders.
WARNlNG:The foregoing
applies only to the cultivated parsnips. The wild variety must not be used in
juices because it contains some poisonous ingredients.
PEPPER JUICE (GREEN)
This juice has an
abundance of silicon which is greatly needed by the nails and the hair. The
tear-ducts and sebaceous glands also benefit greatly from the use of this juice.
In combination with
carrot juice, in the proportion of one-quarter to one-half of green pepper
juice to the rest of carrot juice, it is an excellent aid in clearing up skin
blemishes, particularly if colonic irrigations and enemas are taken with
sufficient regularity to remove waste matter from the colon while the cleansing
processes within the body are progressing.
Those bothered with gas
or wind in the alimentary canal, and those suffering from colic or flatulence,
have found significant relief from drinking one pint of this juice combination
every day. In addition, one should also drink a pint of carrot and spinach
juice per day as well. Of course, these juices need not be taken at one time.
In fact, drinking them at the rate of one tumblerful al a time with intervals
of one, two, or three hours in between, have given better results. We prefer to
drink them before and between meals.
POTATO JUICE
The raw potato contains
easily digestible natural sugars which, upon cooking, are converted into
starch. Potatoes should be omitted from the diet of those suffering from
venereal diseases and those afflicted with aphrodisiac tendencies. The
combination of cooked meat and potatoes intensifies the solanine poison of the
potato (an alkaloid poison more particularly prevalent in potatoes too green in
color), which has an affinity for the nerves controlling the sexual organs;
this, together with presence of uric acid crystals resulting from the ingestion
of meat, may cause excessive irritation of these organs.
The juice of raw
potatoes, however, has proved very beneficial in clearing up skin blemishes.
This cleansing is due to the high content of potassium, sulphur, phosphorus,
and chlorine in the potato. These elements, however, are only of value when the
potato is raw, in which state they are composed of live organic atoms. When the
potato is cooked, these are converted into inorganic atoms and as such, they
are of little or no value for constructive purposes.
Fresh-raw organically
grown potatoes are very palatable to eat, many people do like them and they are
unquestionably a good food.
Raw potato juice has
proved to be a healthy cleanser of the system and to be very beneficial,
particularly in combination with carrot juice.
The juice of raw
potatoes, combined with that of carrot and celery, is a boon to those suffering
from gastric, nerve, and muscle disturbances, such as gout and sciatica. In
such cases, one pint of this combination in addition to one pint of carrot,
beet, and cucumber juice daily, has often given complete relief from these
discomforts in a surprisingly short time, provided that meat, fowl, and fish
were eliminated completely from the diet.
Some emphysema victims
have been helped and found relief in using a combination of carrot, parsley and
raw potato juices.
SWEET POTATO,
botanically, is not in any way related to the ordinary or "Irish"
potato. It contains one-third more carbohydrate; in the form of natural sugars
than the Irish potato, three times as much calcium, twice as much sodium, more
than twice as much silicon, and more than four times as much chlorine.
The juice of sweet
potatoes has, therefore, more general beneficial value than that of the Irish
potato. Care must be exercised in choosing them, as they are more readily
spoiled by bruises and decayed spots, which quickly affect the whole tuber,
than the Irish potatoes, which will stand rougher and careless handling with
impunity.
RADISH JUICE
This juice is extracted
from the leaves and the roots, but should never be taken alone, as it is too
strong in its reaction if taken by itself. In conjunction with carrot juice, the
combined elements help to restore the tone of the mucous membranes in the body.
It is used most effectively about one hour after taking horseradish as
described in the section covering that subject. It has had the effect of
soothing and healing the membranes and cleansing the body of the mucus which
the horseradish sauce has dissolved. It has at the same time helped to
regenerate and restore the mucous membranes to their normal state.
Nearly one-third of the
natural content of radishes is potassium, while of the remaining two-thirds,
more than one-third is sodium. The iron and magnesium content are both high,
and it is from these that the healing and soothing qualities to the mucous
membranes have been found.
It is usually
unnecessary in most cases to undergo surgical operations for the removal of the
mucus which causes sinus troubles. While such operations remove some of the
mucus, the aftereffects eventually may be devastating. The horseradish sauce on
the other hand, has repeatedly given lasting benefits. Mucus is the result of
drinking too much milk and eating concentrated starches, bread, and cereals in
excess.
RHUBARB JUICE
Rhubarb is probably
responsible for more kidney trouble among children than any other single
factor. Few if any other plants have such a high concentration of oxalic acid
as rhubarb. When cooked, this acid is converted into an inorganic chemical
which, when eaten, deposits vast amounts of oxalic acid crystals in the body.
Innumerable cases of
rheumatism and rheumatic fever could be traced to the ingestion of cooked
rhubarb. No example could be more vivid than this to prove the fallacy of
eating some food or food product because of certain individual particular merit
without regard to the disastrous effect of other elements it may contain.
Because of its supposedly laxative properties, rhubarb is used extensively for
children as well as by adults. Because the laxative results are more or less
immediately apparent, no further thought is given to the other end product—the
oxalic acid crystals deposited in the body. As these deposits do not cause
immediate irritation and their effect is insidious and slow in manifesting, the
consequences are rarely if ever attributed to the proper cause—the eating of
rhubarb.
The subject of oxalic
acid is so very important that we have covered it fairly extensively in a
separate chapter under that heading.
Some benefit can be
derived from fresh-raw rhubarb juice, provided that it is used sparingly, and
only in combination with other juices such as carrot, celery, or fruit, and
their combinations. In this manner it can help stimulate the peristaltic action
of the intestines. Never sweeten rhubarb with sugar, use honey.
SAUERKRAUT JUICE
Sauerkraut is a
preparation of pickled cabbage, finely cut and fermented in brine composed of a
great deal of salt. This pickling and fermentation is exceedingly injurious to
the mucous membranes of the alimentary canal and affects adversely the texture
of the skin, tending to coarsen it. Its stimulating effect on the digestive
organs is very detrimental because of the presence of so much inorganic salt
solution.
SORREL JUICE
The juice of the
broad-leafed French Sorrel is excellent in helping the sluggish and prolapsed
intestines to reestablish their normal functions, when such necessary steps as
colonic irrigations and enemas are taken to eliminate the accumulation of waste
matter collected therein.
This vegetable is rich
in potassium oxalate which is valuable for the human system only in its vital
organic raw state. It should never be eaten when cooked.
It contains a
particularly large percentage of iron and magnesium which the blood needs
constantly, and vast amounts of the cleansing elements phosphorus, sulphur, and
silicon which are used by every part of the system from head to foot.
The combination of these
rich elements makes this juice most valuable for nourishing all the glands in
the body.
SPINACH JUICE
Spinach is the most
vital food for the entire digestive tract, both the alimentary section of the
body (the stomach, duodenum, and small intestines) and for the large intestine
or colon, and it has been so recognized from time immemorial.
In raw spinach, Nature
has furnished man with the finest organic material for the cleansing,
reconstruction, and regeneration of the intestinal tract. Raw spinach juice
properly prepared taken at the rate of about one pint daily, has often
corrected the most aggravated case of constipation within a few days or weeks.
Unfortunately, the use
of purgatives for the cleansing of the intestinal tract is practiced without an
understanding of exactly what takes place. Every manufactured chemical,
inorganic purgative or laxative acts as an irritant, stimulating the muscles of
the intestines to expel it. With the expulsion of this irritant, other matter
lodged therein may also be expelled. It is obvious and in practice it is proved
to be a fact, that the habit of taking laxatives necessitates stronger and
stronger irritants. The result is not a cure for constipation, but a chronic
condition of inactivity of the local tissues, muscles, and nerves.
Cathartics are merely
irritants and while they remove some of the waste matter, they cannot possibly
cause anything other than progressive degeneration of the intestines.
Furthermore, such methods
of cleansing the intestinal tract are solely temporary in their effect and
furnish no material for the regeneration and rebuilding of the weakened or
degenerated tissues, muscles, and nerves.
It is imperative that
following the lymphatic expulsion of acid, toxins, or poisons, the system be
replaced by an organic alkaline solution such as natural raw fruit juices to
prevent an inevitable water deficiency in the body. Also, if such a replacement
of alkaline is not taken care of, one runs the risk of repetition. The
remaining poisons in the intestinal track can then be reabsorbed, find their
way into the lymph stream, and again aggravate the condition the individual was
trying to correct.
On the other hand raw
spinach juice effectively cleanses and helps to heal not only the lower bowels
but the entire intestinal tract.
The spinach works by
natural means to repair the most essential damage first; it is not always
apparent to the individual where in his body the work of regeneration is
progressing. Results may not be noticeable sometimes for as long as six weeks
or two months after daily consumption of this juice.
It has been found
essential at all times, however, that the bowels be cleared at least once every
twenty-four hours, although the normal, healthy condition calls for two or
three movements a day. The colon can be washed out with colonic irrigations or
enemas, or both if necessary everyday. This has been found most effective in
the long run.
Another valuable feature
of raw spinach juice is its effect on the teeth and gums in helping to prevent
pyorrhea. This disease is a mild form of scurvy and results from a deficiency
in the body of the elements found particularly in the combination of carrot and
spinach juices. Bleeding gums and fibroid degeneration of the pulp of the teeth
has become a common defect due to the habitual use of devitalized cereals,
refined sugar, and other deficiency foods. It is due to a Vitamin C deficiency.
A permanent aid for this
affliction has been found in the use of natural raw foods and more
particularly, by drinking an ample quantity of carrot and spinach juice.
Other derangements of
the body such as duodenal and other ulcers, pernicious anemia, convulsions,
degeneration of various nerves, deficiency in adrenal secretions and those of
the thyroid neuritis, arthritis, abscesses and boils, pains in the region of
the gonads, swelling of limbs, tendency to hemorrhage, loss of vigor, rheumatic
and other pains, impaired functions of the heart, low and high blood pressure,
eye troubles, and headaches, including those of a migraine character, are due
primarily to the cumulative volume of waste matter in the lower intestine. This
is also due to the deficiency of the elements contained in raw carrot and
spinach. The quickest and most effective way in which the body can obtain and
assimilate these elements is by drinking daily at least one pint of the
fresh-raw vegetable juices.
Spinach, lettuce, and
watercress together with carrots and green peppers, are among the vegetables
containing the best supply of Vitamins C and E. The lack of a sufficient
quantity of Vitamin E in the system is a contributing factor responsible for
miscarriages, impotence and sterility in both sexes. Many forms of paralysis
are due to a lack of Vitamin E which is responsible for general lack of
well-being and impaired metabolism.
When spinach is the
subject matter of discussion, one generally associates it with its
effectiveness as a laxative. The underlying cause for this effectiveness is the
high oxalic acid content in this vegetable. This is such an important element
involved in the activities of our intestines that it is worthy of very special
attention, and we have given a whole chapter to the subject of oxalic acid.
Spinach should never be
eaten when cooked unless we are particularly anxious to accumulate oxalic acid
crystals in our kidneys with the consequent pain and kidney trouble. When
spinach is cooked or canned, the oxalic acid atoms become inorganic as a result
of excessive heat and may form oxalic acid crystals in the kidneys.
OXALIC ACID
One of the mysteries of
the human anatomy is that function which is known as peristaltic motion.
This motion, or action, takes place in the alimentary canal, in the circulating
and generative tubes, and in the eliminative channels in successive wavelike
motions, forcing whatever matter is present therein, onward on its course. It
is a series of contracting and relaxing of the nerves and muscles successively—
a function which takes place involuntarily so far as our own voluntary
controlling powers are concerned, and apparently is entirely automatic.
The efficiency of this
peristaltic action, however, is very naturally dependent on the tone and
healthy vigorous condition of the nerves and muscles of these channels.
Organic oxalic acid is
one of the important elements needed to maintain the tone of, and to stimulate
peristalsis. It is perfectly obvious, of course, that any motion of the body
which takes place by the "involuntary" action of its organs is predicated
on there being life in the cells and tissues of such organs. Life is active,
magnetic; whereas there is no action in death nor in dead matter, and this
applies definitely to cells and tissues of our anatomy.
If the important organs
comprising the alimentary and eliminative departments of our system, or any
parts of them, are moribund or dead, the efficiency of their function is
impaired, to say the least. This condition can result only from a lack or
deficiency of live atoms in the food nourishing the cells and tissues
concerned. Live food means that food which contains live organic atoms and
enzymes found only in our raw foods.
We have in previous
chapters, covered this important question of organic versus inorganic atoms in
our food. It is very vital to stress this matter in regard to oxalic acid. When
the food is raw, whether whole or in the form of juice, every atom in such food
is vital ORGANIC and is replete with enzymes. Therefore, the oxalic acid in our
raw vegetables and their juices is organic, and as such is not only beneficial
but essential for the physiological functions of the body.
The oxalic acid in
cooked and processed foods, however, is definitely dead, or INORGANIC, and as
such is both pernicious and destructive. Oxalic acid readily combines with
calcium. If these are both organic, the result is a beneficial constructive
combination, as the former helps the digestive assimilation of the latter, at
the same time stimulating the peristaltic functions in the body.
When the oxalic acid has
become INORGANIC by cooking or processing the foods that contain it, then this
acid forms an interlocking compound with the calcium even combining with the
calcium in other foods eaten during the same meal, destroying the nourishing
value of both. This results in such a serious deficiency of calcium that it has
been known to cause decomposition of the bones. This is the reason I never eat
cooked or canned spinach.
As to the oxalic acid
itself, when converted into an inorganic acid by cooking or processing the food
it often results in causing inorganic oxalic acid crystals to form in the
kidneys.
It is worthy to notice
that the minerals in our foods — iron, for example — frequently cannot be
assimilated and used completely if they have become inorganic through cooking,
and often prevent the utilizing of other elements through chemical and other
action. Thus, the iron in fresh-raw spinach juice may be utilized 100%, but
only one-fifth of that, or less, would be usable in cookcd spinach.
It is well to bear in mind
therefore, that as the organic oxalic acid is so vital to our well-being, the
fresh-raw juice of the vegetable containing it should be used daily to
supplement the eating of these raw vegetables included in our daily salads.
The most abundant supply
of organic oxalic acid is found in fresh- raw spinach (both the common variety
and the New Zealand spinach) Swiss chard beet greens, turnip and mustard
greens, kale and collards, and the broad-leafed French sorrel.
TOMATO JUICE
This is probably one of
the most widely used juices—out of cans. Fresh-raw tomato juice is most
beneficial and has an alkaline reaction if digested when no starches or sugars
are present in concentrated form; but if these are present and eaten or drunk
during the same meal, then the reaction is definitely acid.
Tomatoes have a fairly
high citric and malic acid content, and some oxalic acid. These acids are all
needed and beneficial in the processes of metabolism, provided that they are
vital organic. When tomatoes are cooked or canned, these acids become inorganic
and, as such they are detrimental to the system, although their injurious
effect is insidious and may not manifest immediately. Some instances of kidney
and bladder stones are the result of taking cooked or canned tomato or its
juice, particularly with starches and sugars.
Fresh-raw tomato juice
is rich in sodium, calcium, potassium, and magnesium.
There are innumerable
varieties of tomatoes, all of which, if used fresh and raw, make excellent and
beneficial juices.
STRING BEAN JUICE
This juice is of
particular benefit to diabetics. Diabetes is a dietary disease resulting from
the excessive consumption of concentrated starches and sugars, and is
aggravated by the consumption of meat.
It is definitely
conceded that the hypodermic injection of Insulin does not furnish a cure for
this disease. Diabetes is not a hereditary disease. It may, however be caused
by the hereditary habit of the excessive use of concentrated carbohydrates. The
feeding of inorganic, cooked flour and grain products and pasteurized or boiled
cow's milk to infants is the contributing factor in the development of diabetes
in children and adolescents primarily and in adults eventually.
Insulin is a substance
that the pancreatic gland secretes to enable the body to properly utilize
natural sugars (not the manufactured sugars) as fuel for energy to carry on its
activities. As we have previously pointed out, the body can only use,
constructively, the natural vital organic sugars which fresh-raw vegetables and
fruits furnish in abundance. It cannot use starch nor manufactured sugars as
such, but must reconvert them into "primary" sugars. Starch is an
inorganic product and the sugars which are converted from it in the body are,
of course, also inorganic. Inorganic elements have no enzyme life or vitality.
The pancreas therefore works overtime in this reconversion process, only to
receive lifeless atoms in return, which have no regenerative or constructive
quality whatsoever. This results in what is known as diabetes.
The fact that excessive
adipose tissues accumulates in diabetics is the result of the false inorganic
Insulin stimulus, which not only does not burn up the waste matter, but
actually helps it to accumulate.
It has been found that
string beans and brussels sprouts when made into juice, contain elements which
furnish the ingredients for the natural insulin for the pancreatic functions of
the digestive organism.
In cases of diabetes,
the entire elimination of all concentrated starches and sugars of every nature
whatsoever, and the drinking of a combination of the juices of carrot, lettuce,
string beans, and Brussels sprouts at the rate of about two pints daily,
besides one pint daily of carrot and spinach juice, gave results which were
satisfactory and beneficial. Of course, colonic irrigations and enemas were
used regularly and liberally.
TURNIP JUICE
No vegetable contains as
high a percentage of calcium as the juice of turnip leaves, the calcium being
more than one-half of all the other minerals and salts combined.
it is therefore a most
excellent food for growing children and for anyone having softening of the
bones in any shape or form, including the teeth. By combining turnip leaf juice
with carrot and dandelion juice, we obtain one of the most effective means of
helping the hardening of the teeth as well as the entire bone structure of the
body. The very high magnesium content of the dandelion together with calcium in
the turnip leaves and the elements in the carrot combine to give the bone structure
firmness and strength.
The potassium content is
also very high in turnip leaves, which results in this being a strong
alkalinizer, particularly when combined with celery and carrot juices. It is
therefore excellent to reduce hyperacidity. Turnip leaves also contain much
sodium and iron.
Calcium deficiency,
strange as it may sound to the uninformed, results very frequently from
drinking pasteurized cow's milk. Of course, the constant use of concentrated
flour, grain, and sugar products also results in calcium deficiency because,
although these products have an exceedingly high calcium content, this type of
calcium is just as inorganic as that used in making cement.*
* Read more on this subject in
the Book DIET & SALADS. by N.W Walker. D.Sc.. Ph D.
The cells and tissues of
the body cannot use these types of inorganic calcium atoms for constructive
purposes. In fact the blood stream (as a result) must move them out of the way
so they will not interfere with its operations and activities.
Just as we brush things
aside that interfere with our own freedom of action, so the blood sweeps many
of these inorganic atoms into the terminal ends of blood vessels. As the most
convenient of these are located in the rectum, they receive a gradual
accumulation of this debris until they enlarge enough to be uncomfortable, when
their name is changed to Hemorrhoids.
As most people include
an excessive amount of devitalized, inorganic food in their daily meals, it is
only natural to find that probably one-half of them have hemorrhoids, and know
it, while the remainder may have them and do not know it.
We have not known of a
single case of hemorrhoids among the many adults of all ages who have been
lifelong abstainers from these inorganic foods. On the other hand, we have seen
an unending procession of people victimized by attempts to cure this natural
affliction by means of injections, electric coagulation, and surgery.
We had one very typical
case come to our attention. It was a prominent lawyer. His protruding
hemorrhoids were painful, distressing, and embarrassing. He suffered to such a
degree that he could not walk many blocks without having to stop in the first
inconspicuous place to propel them back into place.
This gentleman had been
drinking a variety of juices daily for many months without telling anyone of
his main trouble. He modified his diet slightly, still eating his meat and
potatoes, bread, doughnuts, and other injurious foods, with little or no
apparent effect on his affliction.
One day he wagered the
owner of the juice bar, where he had become a regular customer, that no juice
could help hemorrhoids. The owner asked that he drink two pints of a
combination of carrot, spinach, turnip, and watercress juice daily, and follow
a rigid raw vegetable and fruit diet and watch the results.
In less than one month,
this lawyer came to the juice bar, jubilant, after having been carefully
examined by his physician who declared that there was no indication whatever of
his erstwhile hemorrhoids.
This is not one isolated
instance. This combination of juices has helped innumerable sufferers when they
did in fact adhere rigidly to natural foods and natural methods.
WATERCRESS JUICE
This juice is
exceedingly rich in sulphur, which represents more than one-third of all the other
mineral elements and salts combined in the watercress. Nearly 45% of the
elements in watercress are acid forming, including sulphur, phosphorus, and
chlorine. As it is a very powerful intestinal cleanser, it should never be
taken alone, but should always be used with other juices, mixing it, for
example, with carrot or celery.
Of the alkaline
elements, potassium predominates, being slightly more than 20%; calcium is
about 18%; sodium, 8%; magnesium, 5%; and iron about one-fourth of one per cent.
A combination of carrot
and spinach juice with some lettuce, turnip leaves, and watercress juice,
contains the components essential for the normal regeneration of the blood and
particularly for increasing oxygen transmission in the blood stream. For
anemia, low blood pressure, and low weight, this forms an excellent food
combination.
A combination of carrot,
spinach, turnip leaf and watercress juice, has the properties that help to
dissolve the coagulated blood fibrin in hemorrhoids or piles, and many kinds of
tumors. Two pints of this combination taken daily, when all flour and sugar
products and preferably also meat, have been eliminated from the diet, have
been found to dissolve these conditions in from one to six months in a
perfectly natural manner, provided that there has been no surgical
interference, in which event it may take longer. Read the section covering
Turnip Juice, in which the question of hemorrhoids has been gone into more
fully.
Watercress Juice is a
valuable adjunct to carrot, parsley and potato juices, as a combination to help
emphysema victims. The predominance of phosphorus and chlorine has thereby
proved to be beneficial.
OH! SO YOU HAVE A COLD-HAVE YOU?
Is your breathing
congested? Are you sneezing? Do you have a general "letdown" feeling?.
For many, many years
investigators have been, and still are, attempting to find, isolate and
identify some evanescent, evasive "germ" to blame for the common cold.
Sometime during the
middle 1920s, science made the headlines with the "discovery" of a
"germ" which was definitely responsible for the common cold, but that
it was too small and elusive to be caught or even to be visible by means of the
most powerful microscopes then available. Yet. they "discovered" such
a "germ"!!?
In the march of progress
in the field of enlarging the image of matter, electronic microscopes have made
such vast strides that what is virtually invisible can be magnified many
thousands, even hundreds of thousands of times. Scientists are still playing
with the thought that "the germ" can be caught, but to my knowledge
and as a result of all the research and investigations which I have been able
to make, no such "germ" has yet been seen, caught or harnessed.
During the past
years—actually since 1946—according to word I have from England, some
"Scientists," under the S150,000 a year patronage of the British
Government's "Medical Research Council," have been hunting—and, you
know the British are notorious for their hunting!—For a COLD BUG, a GERM or VIRUS
as the culprit, which could be blamed for or accused of being responsible for
the starting or the generation of the COMMON COLD.
So far, from every
available report they have not yet after many years, been able to find, catch,
harness nor "develop" one. Surely they have been able to identify
about 100 different germs, virus or bacteria, but not one of these was able to
start a cold. Every one of these was feeding on the mucus of Common Colds,
the very purpose for which they were created, namely to dissolve, break up,
decompose and so dispose of the mucus that manifests the Common Cold.
As I understand it,
these British "Scientists" have some kind of a research hospital
where they not only invite people to come there and stay for 10 days or so,
free of charge, all meals and everything else provided, but patients are paid
something like five shillings a day to come there and submit themselves to the
Scientists' attempts to find a germ or virus that will GIVE them a cold. It has
become quite a fad for some 30 people at a time to go there once or twice a
year for a very inexpensive vacation with pay.
I understand that so far
only a handful of people during the past few years did develop a cold but the
germ or virus that was supposed to create it has never been discovered.
No, indeed there is not
a germ in existence which can cause one to have a cold. The electrical analogy
in reference to a cold is worth remembering. The electric system in your home
is equipped with fuses. Right? What happens when the electric circuit is overheated
because you have overloaded the line with too many lights and appliances? Does
a "germ" notify you that a fuse will blow out or that the overheating
of the wires may burn down your home? No, indeed. If the fuse fails to blow
out, the overloaded and overheated wires will start a fire.
Think this over when you
"catch a cold."
The waste matter in the
system, if not eliminated, builds up fermentation and heat in the body in the
natural course of events. When such fermentation has reached a sufficiently toxic
state, Nature becomes worried about our neglect to keep the body clean within,
and gives us a warning in the form of mucous elimination which has been labeled
"a cold." It is just as simple as that, and we have seen it
demonstrated over and over and over again, that if the warning is ignored and
disregarded, more serious conditions develop, conditions which are so
well-known that a list of them covers a medical encyclopedia.
Never curse a cold which
has caught up with you. Rather be thankful for the timely warning, and do
something about it. No drug was ever known to cure a cold without the
development of eventual afflictions of a more serious nature, rarely attributed
to such drugs.
To put it briefly, a
cold is the result of the secretion of too much accumulated waste, and
insufficient and improper elimination. The Colon is the recipient of all this
corruption. Toxins spread throughout the body generating unhealthy mucus in the
sinus cavities. Excessive waste matter is the contributing factor in the generation
of mucus. The result — A COLD.
An intelligent
individual will give due consideration to these facts, and as a matter of
course will do what innumerable other people have done at the first signs of a
cold, namely, take enemas and colon irrigations to remove the cause. Fruit
juices and fasting for a day or two — using nothing but water and fruit juices
— have been very effective during such cleansing procedures.
A regimen of raw foods
and juices has been found to be the best means to prevent the accumulation of
waste and mucus when the body, and the colon in particular, has been kept
consistently clean.
YOUR ENDOCRINE GLANDS
The human body could not
function were it not for the ENDOCRINE GLAND system. The glands in our body are
the activating mechanisms responsible for, and involved in, every function and
procedure taking place within our system.
There are glands of
internal secretion and glands of external secretion. These glands all
manufacture in micro-microscopic quantities a substance known as HORMONES.
Hormones are a product
generated and elaborated in the glands and discharged into the blood or lymph,
in most cases, while in some instances their action is somewhat like making an
electrical contact in one place, to start, stop, or to modify an action in a
separate and perhaps remote place.
Endocrine means that the
manufacture of hormones takes place within the gland, with no duct for its
discharge from it. The discharge takes place by osmotic transmission from
within the gland through its covering, and is collected by the blood or the
lymph from outside the gland.
Glands of external
secretion are those with a duct or ducts leading directly from the generating
plant in the gland, out of the gland into the blood or the lymph or into its
environment. The Tonsils and the Appendix are external secretion glands, the
former injecting its product into the throat, while the Appendix injects its
product into the colon.
The volume of hormone
secreted at any one time is so infinitesimal, so infinitely small, that in
order to obtain one-quarter of an ounce of the Pineal Gland Hormone extract,
for example, it would be necessary to collect hormones from more than
20,000,000 individual glands!
Like every other part of
the human body, glands must have constant nourishment in order to be able to
operate efficiently. Such nourishment should be of the very finest quality,
because of the important, intricate, and delicate work which the glands are
called upon to perform.
I have made and drawn a
Chart of the Endocrine Gland System, showing the human form, and radiating from
it are explained and indicated the various Endocrine Glands and their relation
to one another. The chart indicates the nature of their function and of their
disfunction, reviews what stimulates them and what inhibits them, lists the
elements of which they are composed and shows what fresh- raw vegetable juices
we have found to be of help and benefit for their well-being. This Chart
measures about 17" by 22" and is intended to be framed for hanging on
the wall of your study, office or your home.
The extensive
ramifications of the hormone chain is nothing short of stupendous, and even a
superficial study of this Chart is enough to make us appreciate our Creator for
furnishing our insignificant body with such a marvel of ingenuity.
The least we can do to
help our wonderful glandular system to function at its highest state of
efficiency is to keep our body thoroughly cleansed of waste and corrupt matter,
nourish the body with the best natural raw foods and juices available, and
completely learn to control our mind and our emotions.
With due and careful
attention to this program, we should acquire the energy we need to live a full,
happy, useful, joyous and intelligent life.
VINEGAR
All references in my
previous publications to the injurious effects of VINEGAR applied definitely
ONLY to the white distilled vinegar and to wine vinegar, in which the
destructive element is the predominance of ACETIC ACID.
Pure APPLE CIDER
VINEGAR, on the other hand, made from whole apples and not diluted contains the
constructive MALIC ACID, an ingredient needed in the digestive processes.
There are three kinds
ofVinegar which are generally used in this country, Apple Cider and the white
distilled Vinegar. There is also Wine Vinegar which is a commonly used
condiment in Latin countries, and which, like the White Distilled Vinegar
contains ACETIC ACID.
White Distilled Vinegar
is injurious to the system. It rapidly destroys red blood corpuscles resulting
in anemia. It also interferes with the digestive processes, retarding them and
preventing the proper assimilation of food. Such Vinegar (C2H402)
is the product of the fermentation by acidity of alcoholic fluids such as
fermented wine and malt liquors; these are known as Wine Vinegar and Malt
Vinegar respectively. The White Distilled Vinegar with a high acetic acid
content is widely used in this country.
Vinegar made from apples
is known as APPLE CIDER VINEGAR. It contains MALIC ACID (C4H6O5)
which is a natural organic constituent of apples and is an element involved in
the digestive processes.
Vinegar made by the
process of fermentation of wine contains an average of from 3% to 9% Acetic
Acid and usually some Tartaric Acid in addition. Acetic Acid in Vinegar has
been known to be a contributing factor in causing hardening of the liver
(cirrhosis of the liver), duodenal and other intestinal ulcers.
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, on
the other hand, contains MALIC ACID, a constructive acid which combines with
alkaline elements and minerals in the body to produce energy or to be stored in
the system as glycogen for future use. It has proved to be of immeasurable
value when used judiciously by humans and for animals.
Space does not permit
the publishing of the vast field of beneficial results obtained. For example,
how it helps in the coagulation of blood in establishing a normal menstrual
flow, and contributes to healthy blood vessels, veins and arteries, and in the
building of red blood.
One of the great virtues
of APPLE CIDER VINEGAR is its extraordinary potassium content, an element so
necessary for building and storing body reserves and to help the system to
achieve harmony and calm. This potassium readily associates with some of the
most important elements in the body, such as calcium, sodium, iron, magnesium,
chlorine, silicon.
It is important, when
choosing Apple Cider Vinegar, to consider its source, in order to be sure that
it is made from whole apples and not the kind that is cheaply made just from
apple cores and peelings.
Used judiciously, Apple
Cider Vinegar is an indispensable item for the kitchen cupboard. Its antiseptic
qualities are almost beyond belief. Many victims of skin blemishes, even of the
contagious type, have been helped by the application of Apple Cider Vinegar
directly on the skin.
In Scotland it used to
be, and perhaps still is a common practice to shrink varicose and
"bulging" veins by the application of Apple Cider Vinegar on the skin
to the whole length of the veins, morning and night, for a month or so, and at
the same time drinking daily two or three glasses of water with two teaspoons
of Apple Cider Vinegar in each glass. And it worked!
Your LIFE is manifested
in the condition of your blood which is generated in the marrow of your bones,
activated through your spleen and circulated through your blood vessels. It is
a natural, systematic process that causes the blood stream to be completely
recreated every period of 28 days, and unless the balance is maintained between
the creation of new blood cells while the old blood cells complete their cycle,
health cannot be maintained and one's efficiency is impaired.
No single class of
nourishment has proved as effective in the maintenance of balance in the human
body as the fresh, raw vegetable and fruit juices. Likewise, no single means to
help obtain the quick reestablishment of such balance has proved to be as
efficacious as pure Apple Cider Vinegar.
Excessive bleeding in
menstrual cycles, bleeding hemorrhoids, nose bleeding, cuts, etc., have been
wonderfully helped by drinking two teaspoons of Apple Cider Vinegar in a glass
of water daily, and two or three times a day if necessary.
When our digestive
system fails to digest proteins, it is a result of a deficiency in hydrochloric
acid. This can, as a result, give rise to high blood pressure. Consequentially
one to three teaspoons of Apple Cider Vinegar in a glass of water, taken in the
middle of meal has effectually lowered blood pressure.
ON
THE SUBJECT OF MILK
PUBLISHER S NOTE:
Science is just now uncovering the medical facts that Or. Walker knew and felt
very strong about. — 'A high percentage of our children are allergic to cow's
milk.'
Dr. Walker
advocated raw goats milk. However, laws of today forbid the selling of any
unpasteurized milk. Consequently we have left Dr. Walker's word exactly as he
wrote them so that you can understand his concern and allow you to make your
own judgement.
Whenever MILK, other
than Mother's Milk, is needed, RAW GOATS' MILK is the most logical and
beneficial Milk for humans of all ages to drink.
Milk should NEVER be
heated at temperatures above 118°F, because at 130°F the Enzymes are destroyed.
We should NEVER use pasteurized milk for the same reason. It is best, when
possible, to use it as soon as practical after the goat has been milked, before
the milk is refrigerated. However, kept cold in a sealed bottle in the
refrigerator it will keep and be perfectly good for a day or two.
It cannot be too
strongly emphasized that for infants there is no better milk than mother's milk.
Recently my attention
was directed to the little 22 months old daughter of a good friend of ours. The
mother, nursed the child for one year, and up to that time, and for many months
after, the child never had so much as a "running nose" nor one upset day,
physically nor in her disposition, until one day she was given pasteurized
goat's milk. It happened that the child's father kept two goats.
One day these
"dried up." He tried to get some RAW Goat's milk from a goat
dairyman, but the dairyman told him he could not legally sell the milk to him
RAW. It had to be pasteurized. Under the dairyman's pressure and arguments my
friend bought a quart of pasteurized Goat's milk and fed it to his child.
Within two days after
drinking the pasteurized milk the child's nose started "running" and
she became irritable. Her father immediately went out and bought two
"fresh" Goats, giving the child the RAW Goat's milk.
In two days the child's
disturbances disappeared!
This child drinks
regularly RAW Goat's milk and fresh-raw carrot juice.
This is by no means a
rare occurrence. On the contrary, RAW Goat's milk is one of the cleanest foods
we can use, whereas cow 's milk is rarely clean. Cow's milk has been proven to
be very mucus forming, whereas goat's milk is not.
The reason Goat's milk
is not generally used today is purely an economic one. A cow yields a much
larger volume of milk than does the goat. The vast City and Urban populations
are the deterrent to the general use of goats' milk. A great many more farm
hands would be needed, for example, to milk 500 goats to get the yield which
100 cows would give.
To keep goats, we need a
shed only about 10' by 12' to shelter five goats, and these five goats need
LESS feed than one cow would require.
Of course, the ideal situation
is for one or two families to acquire 4 to 5 acres of tillable land, with
plenty of available water and about one or more acres for trees. Ideally you
would keep two or three milk goats, a small flock of good poultry to feed in
the fields, organic fruit and vegetable gardens, a flower garden, and two or
three beehives that would yield 60 to 75, or more, pounds of honey a year.
If funds were available
to do so, this setup would create a very independent life-style. One could live
a long, healthy, and happy life and very comfortably so, on little more than
the benefits of Social Security.
Such a dream CAN come
true. Do not let an inferiority complex deter you: others have done it—you can.
Remember the old proverb: Aim at the sky and you'll hit higher than a tree.
Lets revert back to the
milk problem. Remember that the goat is probably the cleanest animal we have.
Its eliminative organs are close to perfect. Hence her disposition is
friendly—almost loving. Her milk has a vastly higher vibration than cow's milk.
It is of certainly higher vibration than the milk of the mother who smokes,
drinks "soft drinks" and whose temperament may conservatively be
classed as "touchy".
Besides being the
cleanest of animals, goats are virtually free from tuberculosis, brucellosis
and others of the ailments which afflict the cow.
The quality of goafs
milk is far superior to that of a cow's because it is naturally homogenous, it
has more nonprotein nitrogen, its proteins are of better quality, and it has
much higher amounts of niacin and thiamine than almost any other food or
product.
Goat's milk has been
known to be most beneficial and efficient in cases of diarrhea in small
children. This is due to its extremely high niacin content.
Thiamine is one of the
most important of the B-complex vitamins involved in all of life's vital
processes from birth to the grave. Goat's milk abounds in thiamine.
Let me emphasize again
it is best not to heat Goat's milk to more than 118°F. When Goat's milk is
overheated boiled or pasteurized it is better poured down the drain than fed to
children. If pasteurized goat's milk is fed to the kids of the goat, they will
likely be dead within six months.
NATURAL
CHILDBIRTH
Baby Eric slipped into the World with a squawk!!
This is the detailed
account of what Diane Vallaster Folton did during the period of her pregnancy
and how Baby Eric has been thriving on RAW FOODS. No "Baby Formulas."
Read it, and in the future: GO THOU AND DO LIKEWISE!
Here are Diane's own
words:
There it was, June 1966 and
I was pregnant! I was due to have my first baby at the age of 33. What an
astounding and sobering thought! I had one month of school still to go. Keeping
thirty grade one students busily occupied and at the same time attempting to
handle the endless end-of-the-year forms, left me feeling limp.
Suddenly the vegetable
salads I had been enjoying so much, felt like sawdust in my mouth — my diet
formed a completely new pattern. Roughly, it went as follows:
1,2 and 3 months
pregnant: Nothing appealed to me but grapefruit, and freshly cracked hazelnuts
(filberts) eaten three times a day.
4, 5 and 6 months:
Though grapefruit was still a staple, I found myself back to enjoying a wide
variety of fruits. By this time we were in September and the wild blackberries
were at their tangy best. We also managed to find dclicious plums, prunes,
pears and apples all grown without chemicals. We had read that raspberry leaf
tea was good for pregnancy, so early in September we visited our neighbors'
raspberry field and picked bags of leaves which we dried on trays and then
stored. From September until March first, I consumed at least a pint of this
tea daily. It was difficult to find good carrots, but we managed to obtain
enough for a pint of the precious juice a day. Because I was exhausted after a
busy school year, I felt I needed a few supplements to boost me along, so I
took daily: 6 kelp tablets, 6 natural calcium tablets, 100 l.U. of Vitamin E, 2
teaspoons of cod liver oil, because we are just not out in the sun this time of
the year in British Columbia, Canada, and natural Vitamin C in varying
quantities.
If ever there was any
retention of water in my system, I immediately hunted for a fresh pineapple, if
none was available I found that the unsweetened pineapple juice worked also.
I was feeling so
wonderful that I never saw a doctor until the sixth month. Friends were
becoming so alarmed that I finally consented to see one. The doctor could not
get over the strong heartbeat the baby had, that I had no weight gain, and that
I had no toxicity. He believed in natural childbirth so he was pleased with my
simple natural diet.
I hiked miles every day.
We had two puppies so I always had an excuse to be out. I took a course in
prenatal exercises for natural childbirth and did them daily in addition to my
housework.
Then at last March
first, Eric slipped into the world with a squawk and a head of thick, long,
curly, black hair. This was remarkable because most babies today are born with
little or no hair. His glowing color was the talk of the doctors and nurses—no
milky white skin for him!
To the amazement of
everyone, I was able to breast feed Eric, and though the milk was slow in
coming, I persevered and soon there was an ample supply of rich creamy milk,
although I had always been told that such milk is usually blue and watery.
The hospital diet was
rather dead after the live foods that I had been eating, but I ordered every
live or living food that was offered on the menu. The nurses were constantly
worried that my protein intake was inadequate, so I was bombarded with huge
glasses of pasteurized milk every three hours. These I fed to the sink and
replaced them with water. My husband and my sister brought a quart of fresh
carrot juice to me each day, plus bags of freshly shelled hazelnuts to
supplement my meager diet. The tray of sun-dried fruits that I was presented
with was pronounced "dangerous" as—they said—it would give the baby
diarrhea. I could not see how it could hurt baby or me, as I had eaten them for
ten years and baby had done a beautiful job of growing on it for nine months
already.
How wonderful it was to
return home to an abundance of all the foods I was used to. I could no longer
resist the tray of dried fruits and, as we expected, there were no ill effects!
With all the raw food I
was eating (at least 60% of which was fruit) I was horrified after Eric was
born, that he went day after day without a bowel movement. Finally, on the
fifth day home, he produced a completely normal small stool—no constipation! No
diarrhea!
Where had the stool been
so long? We were mystified but this was to be the pattern. How often I wondered
if I should give him enemas. The mystery continued until, by chance, we found
an old baby book on breast feeding, stating that the food was sometimes so
completely utilized that it was not unusual for a wee babe to go up to seven
days without a bowel movement.
This pattern continued
as long as he had no solid foods. At six months of age he sipped a little fresh
carrot juice, but it was not until he was nine months old that he had any solid
food. Very ripe banana and a wee bit of avocado, both pressed through a fine
strainer, made up his first solid meal.
Thereafter there was no
waiting five days for his bowel movement. In the space of a few hours after
eating, he produced a stool full of tiny black threads! I was horrified! Now (I
thought) he must have worms! The public health nurse was due in our area that
day. I tearfully met her at the door and presented the diaper for her
inspection. She immediately wondered what he had eaten, and when I told her
just a bit of banana, she laughed and said: "Well, there are your worms:
banana cellulose!" To this day I find it hard to believe that a soft
banana is so full of cellulose!
Eric had only these two
foods-banana and avocado — plus a little carrot juice until he was more than
one year old. Slowly, then we added the pulp of strained soaked raw prunes,
dates, and apricots, usually accompanied by avocado, to his diet. Soon he was
having blended fresh fruits as they came in season.
Eric was the chooser of
his food we soon learned. Sometimes he had only apples for days at a time. Then
he would switch to avocado, and so it went. He loved and still loves, to chew
on dried dulse leaves.
The only milk he received
was breast milk for two and a half years. Now he drinks carrot juice, nut milk,
and we hope to start him soon on raw goat milk.
He has never had a
stuffy head, no mucus, no puffiness, no distended stomach and no swollen glands.
Most of my friends were
busy feeding their babies pablum, and from bottles. The pablum supposedly to
keep them sleeping all night. Since their babies were unable to digest the
starch, it was a never ending round of colds, flu, pneumonia, diaper rash and
allergies. Thankfully we have escaped all of these by following the simple but
rigid laws of Nature.
One thing that bothered
me about nursing was the fact that I required more sleep and did not have my
usual extra bounding energy—but I had a happy contented baby instead. I also
noticed that my stomach did not go flat as I had expected, but after Eric
stopped nursing it resumed its normal proportions.
Now it is May,
1970,—Eric is three years of age. His diet consists of raw and dried fruits,
fresh raw vegetables and their juices, nuts, seeds and honey. He is well
balanced mentally, well developed physically, and full of energy and curiosity.
My many thanks to Dr.
Walker's Program.
DO JUICES HELP BONES TO HEAL?
HERE'S THE ANSWER!
This is the letter I
received from Adelle Vallaster, a Home Economics Teacher, in Kamloops, B.C.
Canada:
Finally, after years of
planning, Mom and Dad left for Europe, while we attempted to look after their
Health Shop. The postmen went on strike at this time, a further complication to
our situation. All communication was at a standstill until that fateful
telegram arrived ten days before Mom and Dad were due home. We were instructed
to send extra money, to have "Bob" meet the plane with his car, and
for us to start planting boxes of wheat grass.
Something was radically
wrong! There was no way of knowing what—until they arrived home. Ten anxious
days: we learned that a motorcycle had bumped into Mom as she was crossing a
street in Austria having all but severed her leg. By some miracle she was
treated by one of the leading bone specialists in the area, and he succeeded in
placing the terribly fragmented bones in position so that they had a chance to
knit.
Mom's one idea was to
get home as fast as she could to her raw juices and foods, for she knew of so
many cases where healing had been so wonderfully helped in this way.
Two weeks after the
accident, they were due to return to Canada. The doctor in Austria thought that
they were mad to even think of going. He felt that for one thing Mom would not
be able to bear the pain of being shifted around so much. Dad, on the other
hand, felt so strongly that he must get her home. Finally the doctor gave his
consent. Mom managed the trip very well due to her wonderful health from having
been on the Walker Program for ten years.
As soon as she arrived
home we started the flow of Juices—4 oz. of wheat grass juice three times a
day, carrot juice and an untold number of cups of comfrey tea—both root and
leaf. She also had extra help from a natural Vitamin C, natural calcium, and
Vitamin E. We had an abundance of organically grown peaches, pears, grapes and
apples to supplement our supermarket salads that fall and winter. Each
afternoon she had a mixture of sunflower seeds and sesame seeds finely ground
and mixed with a little honey, plus yet another cup of comfrey tea.
The doctor here, wanted
to take her into the hospital immediately, as gangrene had set into the wound.
After much persuasion he finally agreed to leave her home so long as the
condition did not worsen, and that we take her to the hospital regularly to
change dressings. This was a problem, but a solution was quickly found.
How we would love to
have been able to put comfrey and wheat grass poultices on the wound, but with
only a tiny slit on the casting for air and instrument dressing, this was
impossible.
The condition held its
own for about three weeks; then there was a noticeable healing from the inside
out. This was an unheard of occurrence since no wonder drugs had been used.
Only live juices and foods were supplying the elements needed for healing. The
condition continued to improve steadily and hospital visits became less
frequent.
Six months later when
the cast came off, the nurses were astounded to find that there was no odor as
is usual when a cast has been on for so long. When X-rays were checked the
small bone had knit but not the large one, so another long cast, was put on.
The doctor was quite certain that it could not heal and that a lot of grafting,
both of bone and flesh, would have to be done because the break was so jagged
with the healing surface so large, and because so much bone marrow had been
lost.
The doctor used to tell
the nurses, jokingly, that this was the lady who expected God and the greens to
heal her, but when the cast was removed, two months later, with both the bones
completely knit, the doctor was the most amazed witness!
Now, twenty one months
after the accident, flesh is steadily filling in the scar. At first, there was
literally just skin over bone. Now. Mom walks without the aid of a cane, goes
to the Health Shop each day. and does her own shopping. Thanks to God and the
Walker Program.
THINGS TO BEAR IN MIND
1. Be patient:
In the reconstruction or
regeneration of the body by natural means, it is very important to bear in mind
that natural foods taken in the form of vegetable juices may start a regular
housecleaning process throughout the entire system. This may be, and sometimes
is. accompanied by a period of pains or aches in the regions of the body where
this housecleaning is taking place. It may even at times make one feel as if he
were actually sick. We should not for one moment feel that the juices are
making us ill. if these are fresh and are taken the same day that they are
made. On the contrary, we should realize that the cleansing and healing process
is well on its way, and the sooner such discomforts are felt after taking
plenty of juices, the better, because we will be over them just so much
quicker. The more juices we drink, the faster the recovery is. When in doubt,
it is best to consult a doctor whose practice includes an understanding of
Juice Therapy. Unless a doctor has used juices consistently, he cannot
reasonably be expected to know much about them in their effect. To deprecate or
to denounce fresh-raw vegetable juices, and particularly carrot juice, as
harmful in any way, manner or form, is to admit a reprehensible lack of
knowledge.
We must not expect that
a lifetime accumulation of toxins can be squeezed out of our body in a
miraculous way, overnight, it takes time.
2. Be tolerant and
compassionate!
It has been claimed by
writers of comic news that carrot juice will turn the skin yellow. Anyone who
would believe such nonsense is simply ignorant as to the function of the human
body. It is just as absurd to expect the color pigment of the carrot to come
through the skin as to expect the red of the beet or green of the spinach to
come through. Whenever, after drinking juices, yellow or brown appears through
the skin, it is an indication that the liver is eliminating stale bile and
other waste matter in greater quantities than the eliminative organs can handle
so that some of the elimination lakes place through the pores of the skin,
which is perfectly normal. If the body is toxic, such also may be the case.
When we continue to drink vegetable juices, however, the discoloration
eventually disappears.
There are times when,
through overwork or excessive exercising and through lack of sufficient sleep,
even though we feel that our body is in pretty good condition, discoloration
may appear. After rest, however, this discoloration generally vanishes, sooner
or later.
In any case, once our
body has been regenerated by the continuous regular use of natural raw foods
and fresh-raw vegetable and fruit juices, and it has been cleared of waste and
obstructions, we have such a superabundance of health, energy, and vitality
that the criticism of uninformed critics fails to affect us.
3. Sanitation:
The proper cleaning and
sterilizing of the machinery in which juices are made and of all the utensils
and of the premises, is of paramount importance. Raw vegetable juices are
extremely perishable, and every care possible must be taken to make them in a
sanitary manner.
It is as important in
using a home machine, as it is a factory machine, that juices not be made until
the equipment has first been rinsed with cold water and then thoroughly
sterilized with boiling water. Preferably, this should be done immediately
after the machine was last used. If the machine has not been cleaned right
after use and is being cleaned just prior to the next use, it is imperative
that the above procedure be followed with a "cooling down" (using
cold water) before it is used again.
Sometimes juices will
spoil in spite of the most meticulous care in sterilizing the equipment. This
may be due to the fact that one or more of the vegetables was spoiled affecting
the entire batch. It is, therefore, of extreme importance to clean the
vegetables thoroughly and to remove any part that is wilted, mushy, or spoiled.
`TO DETOXICATE
Supreme cleanliness is
the first step towards a healthy body. Any accumulation or retention of morbid
matter, or waste of any kind within us, will retard our progress towards
recovery.
The natural eliminative
channels are the lungs, the pores of the skin, the kidneys, and the bowels.
Perspiration is the
action of the sweat glands in throwing-off toxins which would be injurious to
us if retained in the body. The kidneys excrete the end products of food and
body waste from the liver. The bowels also eliminate food waste and waste
matter in the form of used-up cells and tissues, which are the result of our
physical and mental activities. If these wastes are not eliminated it would
cause protein putrefaction resulting in toxemia or acidosis.
The retention of such
body waste has a much more insidious effect on our health than is generally
suspected and its elimination is one of the first steps toward perceptible
progress.
PUBLISHER'S NOTE
DETOXICATION:
Previous editions of Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices (Raw Vegetable
Juices) by Dr. Walker included a regimen of detoxicating the body. Three items
he mentioned: Pluto Water, Glauber Salts and Seidlitz Powders are NO longer
commercially available. Therefore, we suggest you contact a Certified Colon
Therapist, Naturopathic Physician or Chiropractor to have a series of colonics.
These professionals can usually be found in the Yellow Pages of your local
telephone directory. Also, most local health food stores carry one or more products
that wilt assist in cleansing the body. (See Colon Health by Dr. Walker
for more detailed information.)
RAW
VEGETABLE AND FRUIT JUICES AND THEIR THERAPEUTIC USE IN SPECIFIC AILMENTS
For Children and
Adolescents Use In Reasonable Proportions
To facilitate the
description of the juice's which have been used most efficiently to help the
following ailments, their various combinations have been listed; the numbers
indicated in the case of each ailment will correspond to the formula number in
the list of juice combinations on pages 80, 81.
For adults, at least one
pint daily of one or more of the formula combinations indicated have been taken
over a period of several weeks to obtain perceptible results.
The juices for each
ailment are given in the order of their greatest efficacy according to our
experience, those which we found essential being indicated in bold type,
the others having also proved effective. When possible, at least one pint of
each combination whose formula number is indicated in bold type was taken
daily. For example: In the case of ARTHRITIS, at least one pint of Formula No.
22 (grapefruit); also, one pint of No. 61 (carrot and spinach combined); also,
at least one pint of No. 6 (straight celery juice); and at least one pint of
No. 37 (carrot and celery combined) was taken. This means a total of four pints
daily, which usually gave perceptible results within a reasonable time. The
addition of one pint of No. 30 (carrot, beet, and cucumber combined) was also
found very beneficial. These juices were taken throughout the day at intervals
of one or two hours between each combination.
We must remember that by
combining one or more different kinds of juices we change the chemical
combination of each individual one so that the effect of the combination as a
whole will be entirely different from that of each juice if taken separately
and individually; and it is by the knowledge of these proper combinations that
we have been able to get results that seem unbelievable to those who lack this
experience.
In the selection of the
juices and their combinations which have proved most beneficial for specific
ailments or conditions, it is necessary to study the underlying cause
and attack it in order to remove the manifestation.
In the case of
arthritis, for example, for which we have given the various formulas that have
proved most beneficial, we find that it is usually due to long retained
RESENTMENTS, and to the result of the accumulation of inorganic calcium
deposits in the cartilage of the joints.
Because the afflicted
cartilage has a magnetic attraction for inorganic calcium atoms, the blood
deposits them in specific parts of the anatomy, such as in the case of
hemorrhoids. In arthritis they solidify the cartilage and ligaments, while in
hemorrhoids they form a coagulated blood fibrin. In either case, the eating of
foods containing these inorganic calcium atoms does not create even the
slightest suspicion of what eventually may take place.
Once an arthritic
deposit has taken root, however, it becomes progressively menacing until actual
bone distortion may take place. The enlargement of the joints is usually the
first manifestation after the occasional shots of sharp pain at shorter or
longer intervals make themselves felt. Once the incrustations of this calcium
have established themselves, their headway becomes a matter of routine and
their deposit becomes cumulative.
One of the most
effective elements with which to help dissolve this inorganic, incrustated
calcium has been found in grapefruit, in its organic salicylic acid content.
Thus, one pint or more of fresh grapefruit juice daily helps to dissolve this
accumulation of foreign matter. The canned juice has usually been found useless
for this purpose.
Oil of wintergreen has
highly penetrating ethers and contains a high percentage of salicylic acid. It
is often used externally to help ease the pain which usually follows the
cleansing and regeneration of the cartilage and the joints.
Dissolving the inorganic
calcium however, is only the first step in the progressive course of this
regeneration. It is so difficult to acknowledge RESENTMENTS and to banish them,
but this is the very first step necessary to help to improve the situation. The
calcium must be removed from the body. To do so, we drink one pint of straight
celery juice a day, which because of it's very high sodium content, helps
maintain the calcium, more or less, in solution. The blood and lymph both carry
this waste matter towards the colon, and to facilitate the functions of that
organ we drink one pint of carrot and spinach juice. This combination serves to
nourish the nerves and muscles of the large and small intestines.
One pint of carrot and
celery juice daily, helps to rebuild and regenerate the cartilage and the
joints, eventually helping to restore them to their normal state.
The process is usually
painful — more so at certain times than at others; but we have seen many
sufferers go through it and in time become more active than ever before, it
requires will power and the cooperation of everybody interested in the victim's
welfare, but the results have proven to be worth it.
Vaccines, drugs, heat,
electricity, and a variety of secretive and orthodox cures have proved
valueless as remedies. The elimination of pain does not cure the cause.
If the human body is
suffering as a result of the transgression of the fundamental laws governing
its nutrition, then cleansing the debris and waste from the system and
nourishing it with the vital organic atoms of fresh raw vegetables and fruits,
cannot help but restore at least some of the ebbing energy and vitality.
When such nourishment
has been taken in the form of properly extracted fresh raw juices, the results
have been more quickly pronounced, once RESENTMENTS have been dissolved from
the consciousness.
FORMULAS
The following Formulas
are given entirely as a matter of courtesy by the Norwalk Laboratory of
Nutritional Chemistry and Scientific Research for use with Special Vegetable
Juice Equipment. They represent the result of expensive and laborious research
by this Laboratory in Raw Vegetable Juice Therapy.
It is essential to bear
in mind that satisfactory results from the use of these combinations have been
obtained with juices made with the Electric Triturator (Pulverizer) and
Hydraulic Press. Such equipment has been found to extract the Vitamins,
Minerals and other Vital Elements from vegetables and fruits and to retain the
Enzymes more completely than by any other method.
When any other type of
Juice Extractor was used, it was found necessary to considerably increase the
indicated quantity. Any juice, so long as it is fresh and raw, is better than
no juice at all.
We belong to the kingdom
next higher than that of animals. We have a free will and the ability to use it
and develop it. If man persists in the transgression of Nature's laws,
Providence steps in to save him from annihilation, if possible.
Our fundamental object
and goal in life should be to gain vast and abundant knowledge, and learn to
apply it intelligently. Of what value is life, let alone longevity, unless we
live intelligently?
We can teach Wisdom, but
we cannot make one learn Wisdom. If it is too much trouble to learn how to
attain and maintain health, and to put such knowledge into practice, then the
easier way out is to follow the line of least resistance and hope fervently
that the grave is not too far away.
Whether or not you have
studied anatomy and the physiology of its functions, it is always best to have
a doctor who has had personal experience with Raw Vegetable Juices to check
your condition and consult him in regard to it. If you have studied carefully
all the preceding pages, your own conviction and intelligence should help you
to follow the course of Natural Healing which has been so consistently helpful
to others.
FORMULA PROPORTIONS
found to be consistently helpful when used in the COMBINATIONS and PROPORTIONS
indicated, are listed below.
NOTE: Use Tops AND Roots of Beets, Dandelion, Radish
and Turnips.
When preparing Carrots
cut off the tops 1/2 inch below the ring where the green stems start and snip
off the tail of the carrot.
To remove sprays, etc.,
we wash vegetables thoroughly with plenty of cold, running water, using a stiff
brush when necessary.
AILMENTS & FORMULAS:
Certain prevailing laws
require that contagious and infectious ailments be treated under the direction
of a doctor. Whenever possible, we would seek a Doctor who is familiar with the
benefits which are derived from colon irrigations AND the use of fresh raw
vegetable and fruits juices and diet, instead of drugs, serums and
"shots".
AILMENTS & FORMULAS
NOTE: It is not legal to
diagnose and prescribe anything whatever in case of illness except by a Doctor
Licensed to do so. The following AILMENTS and corresponding FORMULAS are listed
here as a guide for the HEALING PROFESSION and are given for their general
information. While they are based on past experience, they are not intended to
be used as prescriptions. These FORMULAS are the result of extensive research
done by this Author with the cooperation of R.D. Pope. M.D.
The detailed list of the
indicated FORMULAS will be found on pages 80 and 81.
Bold type formula numbers are those we have found to
be essential for best results. Regular type numbers have also proven to be
effective.
ACIDOSIS: 61 30
The toxic condition of
the body, usually the result of the retention of waste and corrupt matter in
the colon, the natural result of an orthodox diet consisting mainly of
concentrated starches, sugars and meat. The use of bicarbonate of soda to
relieve this condition is unwise and shortsighted as this inorganic material
may in course of time lodge in the region of the brain and damage it. It then
may manifest as a silver-gray crescent in the upper part of the iris of the
eye. To help correct acidosis, read the chapter on Spinach Juice, page 54.
Acidosis may also result from mental disturbances such as resentments, worry,
anger, fear, jealousy, frustration, etc. The first prerequisite to help clear
up this condition is to develop a placid mind and to learn to RELAX!
ACNE, Pimples,
etc.: 61
1 55
Impurities in the body
trying to be eliminated through the skin. One of the manifestations of
acidosis. We would refrain from using salves and ointments, drugs of any kind
and X-ray, using instead natural methods to remove the cause.
ADDISON'S
DISEASE: 3
6 12 (Romaine lettuce only) 25
74 80
The result of lack of
vital organic sodium principally, and an excess of waste matter in the
system generally, affecting the adrenal glands. The injection of extracts from
the glands of dead cattle cannot cure this condition. We have, however, seen
much benefit derived from a high sodium and low potassium raw diet rigidly
adhered to. Romaine lettuce is particularly beneficial. See section on this
vegetable on page 46.
ADENOIDS: 61 1
Inflammation or
enlargement of pharyngeal, tonsil, or adenoid tissue, due to excessive
mucus in the system and waste matter in the lower intestines, as a result of
drinking cow's milk and eating too many, starchy and sugary foods.
ALBUMINURIA: 61
30 29 1 40 59
Albumin present in the
urine.
ALLERGY: 61 30 1
The physical discomfort
or irritation due to excessive retention of waste in the system when
food is eaten which has the effect of stirring up toxins in the body. Allergy
to strawberries, for example, means that this fruit may stir up poisons which
manifest, sometimes, as hives.
ANEMIA: 61 68
2 28 30 25 29 31
46 55 48 85
Deficiency of red blood
corpuscles or of the red coloring matter of the blood caused by
prolonged habit of eating foods in which the calcium and other atoms have been
devitalized such as canned foods, starches, and pasteurized milk. The use of
liver extract, whether orally or by injection, was once upon a time considered
a cure; due to the damage these extracts do to the kidneys, many victims were
found to develop Bright's disease sooner or later.
ANGINA
PECTORIS: 61
2 30
Valvular or muscular
heart trouble resulting from impurities in the blood stream, but frequently
found to be the result of gas pressure in the colon.
APHONIA: 61 1
48 53
Loss of the power of
articulation in speech.
APOPLEXY: 61 62
2 28 39
Stroke of paralysis, the
result of blood pressure in the brain, caused by impurities in the blood
vessels—such, for example, as the inorganic calcium from eating excessive
amounts of starches and rich foods over a period of years. Impactions in the
lower intestines, with the consequent absorption of toxins from these, have
been found to be one of the contributing causes. Repeated enemas, daily, and a
strictly fresh raw diet with at least 2 quarts of juices daily have proved of
inestimable value.
APPENDICITIS: 1 2
30 61
Inflammation of the
appendix resulting from the excessive accumulation and retention of waste
matter in the colon. The appendix is a gland the secretion of which is intended
to neutralize excessive putrefaction and pathogenic bacterial action in the
colon, or large intestine, which might have injurious repercussion in the small,
or digestive intestine. To avoid unnecessary surgery, satisfactory results have
been obtained by colonic irrigations, where available, and enemas in any case,
at 15 to 30 minute intervals, until the elimination of waste matter removed
danger and pain. Consult a doctor familiar with Nature's purpose in furnishing
us with this protective gland.
ARTERIES,
ARTERIOSCLEROSIS, etc.: 61
2 80 28 55
The result of deficiency
of vital organic calcium and excess of inorganic calcium in the diet causing
the blood vessels to lose elasticity and causing blood to coagulate in the
veins. Inorganic calcium deposits convert the elastic walls of blood vessels
into solid tubes. Nature can remedy this condition, but only with the utmost
and unreserved cooperation of the victim.
ARTHRITIS: 22 61
6 37 30
Inorganic calcium
deposits in the cartilage of the joints as a result of eating concentrated
carbohydrates in excess. See special chapter on this subject.
ASTHMA: 61 11 37
60 41
Extreme difficulty in
breathing due to raucous accumulation in the bronchial tubes. Victims who have
followed Nature's principles have had no difficulty relieving themselves of
this punishment caused by eating and drinking mucus-forming foods. Once
relieved completely of asthma, one can readily get it back again, if he so
desires, by simply eating plenty of white bread dairy products and drinking
plenty of cows milk. In fact, almost any kind of concentrated carbohydrates and
dairy products, cheese, etc., will oblige by inviting this enemy to return.
Allergy tests, drug panaceas, blood and sputum studies, and environment
investigations are as a rule extremely useful—in making matters worse. The
CAUSE of asthma is the presence of mucus. Read the section on Horseradish.
ASTIGMATISM: 1 61
30 50
A disfunction in vision
due to the imperfect condition of the eye as a result of vital organic atoms
lacking in the nourishment of the opfic system, accentuated by the presence of
waste matter in the organs and glands directly affecting the eyes. The liver,
the gall bladder, the pancreas, the thyroid and the colon are all glands and
organs whose inefficient operation is a direct contributing factor in any
disfunction of the optic system.
ATHLETE'S
FOOT: 61
30 1
The banquet of
ringworms, particularly between the toes where the piece de resistance is
acidity collecting in our lower extremities when our feet are deprived of their
breathing. Ringworms are wonderful hosts, collecting guests wherever they can,
so long as the acidity of the feet is kept inside solid leather shoes
preventing the dissipation of the acid toxins. The answer to their eviction
lies in the ventilation as much as possible of the feet. Sandals are being used
more and more in appreciation of their beneficial effect, not only for the
feet, but for the entire anatomy. Rainy weather, and frequently snow, have been
found less harmful when wearing sandals than when wearing shoes and rubbers.
BACKACHE: 61 30
1 2
This may result from
innumerable causes. The safest thing to do is to see a good osteopath or
chiropractor who understands Natural methods as well as mechanical adjustments
of the spine. He should be able to determine whether it results from lumbago,
from constipation, or from spinal or cranial maladjustments.
BED-WETTING: 30
This habit in children
should disappear during the first or second year. When persistent, omit fluids
after, say 4:00 p.m., but give plenty during the day. Watch approximately the
time wetting takes place, wake up the child on following nights about 10 to 20
minutes before that time, and continue practice until child functions
voluntarily. Cooked spinach and rhubarb are probably the best foods to prolong
bed-wetting as the inorganic oxalic acid crystals may irritate the kidneys and
these become overactive.
BILIOUSNESS: 61 30 40
The result of incomplete
digestion of fats and excessive fermentation in the system, causing improper
secretion and flow of bile from the liver. Alcoholic liquors, including beer,
degenerating the liver, have the tendency to chronically disorganize the
digestive functions. Fried and fatty food are the most frequent cause of
biliousness.
BLADDERTROUBLE: 30 61
Irritations in this
organ are usually the result of excessive acidity accumulating as a result of
eating foods leaving acid end-products insufficiently digested or
dissolved—uric acid crystals, for example, from eating meat, and oxalic acid
crystals from using cooked spinach or rhubarb. Allowing these crystals to
accumulate, and persisting in eating such foods, may cause growths to form. The
removal of these growths by burning, cutting. X-ray, radium and drugs does not
remove the cause. On the contrary, the eventual return of even more serious
conditions is likely to follow. Excessive use of concentrated starches is also
a contributory cause.
Inflammation of the
bladder may interfere with the normal flow of urine, causing damage to the
walls of the bladder. Cystitis is the name given to this condition.
Bladder stones may
either form within the bladder or may have been passed from the kidneys. See
Kidney Stones. Much bladder trouble in men is due also to trouble with the
prostate gland.
BLINDNESS:
See Cataracts. Read also
section on Endive Juice.
BLOOD
PRESSURE, HIGH: 61
2 30 15
The result of impurities
in the blood vessels. The only way impurities can get into the blood stream is
(1) by hypodermic injections and drugs, whether taken as medicine or otherwise;
(2) by deposits in the blood stream of inorganic atoms accumulating from cooked
and processed foods, particularly the concentrated starches and sugars; and (3)
by retention of waste in the eliminative organs and channels.
The recurrence of high
blood pressure within families is not due to heredity, as erroneously supposed
by some, unless we consider the degenerated condition of the mother's blood
stream (due to eating inorganic foods) as her hereditary gift to her child. The
only hereditary trait is the kind and quality of the food the family as a whole
habitually indulges in; if this contains an excessive proportion of cooked
foods and concentrated carbohydrates, it is only natural that a nutritional
deficiency should manifest in most, if not in all its members.
BLOOD
PRESSURE, LOW: 61
2 30 1 29
15
Primarily due to
nutritional deficiency as a result of eating all or mostly cooked and processed
foods, and in any case as a rule because of the absence from the diet of fresh
raw vegetable juices which can be quickly and efficiently used in the
regeneration of the blood corpuscles. One very serious contributing cause is
the lack of proper and sufficient rest. Each hours sleep before 10:00 p.m. is
worth more than two hours' sleep in the morning.
Smoking and alcoholic
drinks are paramount reasons for high and low blood pressures.
BOILS: 61 30 55
Purulent or pus-filled
tumors caused by impurities in the blood stream resulting in bacterial
infection through the sweat glands or the follicles of the hair. The use of
sulfa and other drugs may have dangerous repercussions.
A boil is not an
infection of the skin, but simply waste matter which the body has been unable
to throw off through other eliminative channels, either because these are
impacted with the accumulation of waste, or because they have degenerated into
inactivity through lack of proper nourishment and attention. When the body
fails to eliminate waste matter through the main eliminative organs, then the
greatest eliminative system of the body is called upon to help. This system is
the skin and its pores.
BOTULISM: 15 66
Food poisoning resulting
from the deadly poison of the gas given off by the botulinus germ while it is
being slowly lulled by heat, much in the same manner that a skunk ejects a
well-known fluid when irritably disturbed. It is a deadly poison frequently
present in canned foods when insufficient heat has not completely destroyed
them. It is also likely to be present in sausages, meat, and fish pastes. When
afflicted, call your doctor and notify the undertaker. Fresh raw vegetable
juices are live foods intended for live people.
BRAIN
TUMORS: 62
61 30 40
The result of impurities
in the blood stream 62 61 30 40 coagulating in the blood vessels of the brain.
They cause pressure inside the skull, resulting usually in disfunction of
speech and thought, or of body movement, according to the location of the
tumor. Surgery causes the death of about 50% of its victims while colonic
irrigations or enemas and other cleansing processes are overlooked.
BRONCHITIS: 61 45
11 30 1 37
60 41
Inflammation of the
bronchial tubes due to excessive mucus in the system. It is one of
Nature's means to warn us of this excessive accumulation of waste in the body,
and when the warning is ignored Nature may raise the body temperature to fever
heat to burn up this debris, if we continue to disregard this warning and fail
to cleanse our insides pretty thoroughly. Nature will furnish us with germs and
bacteria to do the scavenging which may result in further discomforts such as
colds, influenza, or pneumonia. It has been of absorbingly interest to watch
the victims of such conditions recover so quickly after taking sufficient
colonic irrigations, and enemas.
BURSITIS: 86 30 61
The result of the drying
up of the Synovial lubricating fluid in the joints. Thc daily consumption of
avocado has been helpful in bringing about the eventual restoration of normalcy.
CANCERS: 1 61
Groups or nests of
epithelial ceils half-starved from lack of proper organic nourishments,
thriving on concentrated starches and meats. Read the chapter on Carrot Juice
where a description of cancer is outlined.
One of the contributing
factors in the development of cancer has been found to be prolonged RESENTMENTS.
CARBUNCLES: See Boils
CATALEPSY: 61 2
40 30
Muscular rigidity
resulting from improperly nourished nerves.
CATARACTS: 61 50
1 40 30
Opaque films floating
over the crystalline lens of the eye due to lack of proper nourishment to the
optic nerves and muscles. While surgery has been of temporary benefit in some
cases, there is no question that Nature can work greater and more permanent
benefits than even the most skillful of
men, provided that the
one affected cooperates wholeheartedly. Read the chapter on Endive Juice.
CATARRH: 61 11
30 41 60
Abundant secretions from
the mucous membrane due to the inability of the body to properly assimilate
milk and concentrated starches.
CHICKEN
POX: 61
30 1 2
The chicken pox virus
propagates in a medium of mucus, particularly that which results from the waste
of the digestion of milk and concentrated starches and sugars. In the absence
of such medium, naturally the virus cannot exist; but if the child is brought
up on cow's milk, cereals, breads, and puddings, it is only to be expected that
this microscopic virus—which must eat if it is to live—will propagate in such
fertile soil. A virus is a living pathogenic microorganism. No living thing can
continue to live without food. If the chicken pox virus does not happen to
appreciate the particular quality of the mucus present, then Nature will oblige
by furnishing some other virus or germ to do the scavenging, and depending on
the name given to this scavenger, another one of the so-called "natural
diseases of childhood" may "develop." A diet of starches,
grains, and milk is fine for the germ, as these drive the poisons back into the
skin, and then into the body, only to reappear at some early or distant date
under some other classification. The diagnosis of the Iris has done more to
prove this than all laboratory methods we have found. The same treatment which
has been so effectively used in colds (See colds) has been efficacious in cases
of chicken pox.
CIRRHOSIS
of the Liver: 1
61 30
The direct effect of
overworking the liver as a result of eating too many starches, particularly
white flour, causing the liver tissues to harden.
COLDS: 61 11
30 41 60 23 (in
hot water)
Same as catarrh but in a
less virulent or tenacious form. Colonic irrigations or enemas have proved of
primary benefit in ridding the body of colds. The
prevention of colds is
without doubt the simplest thing in creation. Once we have gone through the
arduous and bothersome process of cleansing the body of mucus and other waste
matter, and have changed to the mucusless diet of raw vegetables and fruits
(see DIET & SALAD book by N.W. Walker, D.Sc.) supplemented with plenty of
fresh juices, the cause of colds is removed. Vaccines, drugs, and hypodermic
injections are exceedingly profitable to those who administer them, and it is
even within the range of possibility that some of these persons may not know
that they are many times of no ultimate benefit whatever.
Read again the chapter
with the heading: OH— SO, YOU HAVE A COLD?
COLIC: 61 30
Gas pains in the
abdominal regions usually due to improper combinations of foods, and to the
retention of waste matter in the system. Infants brought up on raw foods and
juices rarely have colic. We have found that enemas help to give more or less
instant relief.
COLITIS: 61 30 1
Inflammation of the
colon resulting from constipation, and from mental or organic nervousness
which, of course, disrupts the digestive processes. The primary cause may
usually be traced to the lack of organic live nourishment for the proper
functioning of the colon. (Read chapter on Oxalic Acid and on Spinach). Cooked
food is composed of dead atoms which cannot nourish or regenerate any of the
cells and tissues of the body. Cold buttermilk has been used to soothe the
inflamed tissues of the colon while a change-over to a properly prepared raw
food diet was in progress; but we must remember that all milk is mucus-forming,
so that if it is used in an emergency, it must be used judiciously. It has been
found that cooked foods, instead of helping to reestablish normalcy in the
colon, have the opposite effect. Finely grated carrots, and other vegetables
and fruits similarly prepared, all raw, have been a
great help when properly
made fresh, raw juices were also used plentifully. Mineral oils, being
inorganic, defeat any attempt to benefit the condition, while drugs are
injurious to the system. Enemas have proved of immense benefit. The objection
to enemas usually comes from those who need them most hut arc not sufficiently
informed on the subject of nutritional and eliminative physiology. The fear
that they are habit-forming is based on lack of knowledge. Cleanliness —
whether internal or external — is never harmful.
CONJUNCTIVITIS: 61 50
1 59
Inflammation of the
membranes of the eye.
CONSTIPATION: 61 15
30 1
A colon filled with
toxins, resulting in lack of coordination in the nerve and muscle functions of
the colon and bowel due to excessive use of devitalized foods in the diet,
resulting in sluggishness of bowel action. Be sure to read carefully the
sections on Spinach Juice and Oxalic Acid.
CORONARY
THROMBOSIS: See Thrombosis.
COUGHING: 11 61 30
The result of the body
trying to dislodge and rid itself of mucus from the breathing passages. Cough
medicines are mostly an excellent means to store up a future supply of coughs,
and are intended for the gullible. Read the paragraph on Colds. Gargling the
throat with the juice of lemons, straight or diluted, has helped to ease up a
cough.
CRAMPS: 61 30
In the intestinal
region. Pains due to the presence of gas resulting from foods improperly
combined.
In the muscles. Usually
due to excessive retention of uric acid.
CYSTITIS: 30 61
40 29 51
Inflammation of the
urinary bladder. See paragraph on Bladder Trouble.
DEAFNESS: 61
11 40 41
Frequently due to the
presence of mucus in the auditory channels. Sometimes due to cranial pressure
on the nerves and blood vessels related to the auditory system. Cranial
adjustments, known as Craniopathy, usually relieve this condition.
DECAY
(of bone): 61
48 55 46 1
Decomposition of bone
tissue due to excessive use of milk and concentrated starches and sugars in the
diet.
DECAY
(of teeth): 61
48 55 46 1
Decomposition due to the
lack of organic live atoms in the food to nourish the teeth. Excessive use of
milk, starches, and sugars are primary causes of decay.
DIABETES: 61 2
57 50 40 84 85
Inability of the
pancreas to metabolize carbohydrates due to excessive use of concentrated
starches and sugars in the diet. Read section on String Bean Juice regarding
injections of Insulin.
DIARRHEA: 1 2
Loose running of the
bowels. Usually Nature cleansing the colon because you failed to do so when you
should.
DIPHTHERIA: 61 2
40 30 47
A disease resulting from
the settlement and propagation, usually in the throat, of the diphtheria germ,
most common after the removal of tonsils. The feeding ground of the germ is the
accumulation of body waste due to its improper elimination from the body and of
inassimilable devitalized foods, principally starches, encumbering the blood
stream. A clean, pure body and blood stream cannot harbor diphtheria germs. To
pollute such a body with diphtheria poison known as antitoxin and to inject
this poison into a body suspected of entertaining diphtheria germs, without
first using natural cleansing and preventive means in the way of proper organic
nourishment, is due to a singular lack of the elementary understanding of the
purpose of germs in Nature.
DIZZINESS: 30 61 2 1
The result of the body
getting out of balance because of the accumulation of waste matter in the
system.
DROPSY: 61 30 29 40
59 11
Excessive water in the
system due to improper or insufficient elimination through the kidneys.
DYSENTERY: 6
61 30 1
A loose running of the
bowels as a result of an accumulation of mucus and other waste matter. Colonic
irrigations, have been of great help when drinking two or three quarts of fresh
juices a day.
DYSPEPSIA: 61 1
2 30 15
Indigestion due to
excessive acidity in the alimentary tract.
DYSURIA: 30 1
40 59
Painful incomplete
urination.
ECZEMA: 61
2 30 15
Inflammatory condition
of the skin due to excessive acidity of the lymph glands. Also, the elimination
through the pores of the skin of waste matter which should really pass out
through the kidneys and the bowels. Read the paragraph on Boils.
ELEPHANTIASIS: 61 30
32 40
Inflammation and
obstruction of the lymphatic glands usually because of the presence of
inorganic 40 waste in the system.
EMPHYSEMA: 87
(The word means "to
inflate"). A condition resulting from an excess of air or gas in the tissues,
usually in the lungs, or the presence of air or gas in normally airless tissues.
ENCEPHALITIS: 61 30
40 37
Inflammation of the
brain as a result of a disturbed or unhealthy condition of the nerve system.
Two ounces of parsley juice three times daily, morning, noon and night and
repeated enemas, together with the indicated juices, have proved beneficial.
ENURESIS: 30
40 29
Incontinence of urine,
frequently due to the presence of inorganic oxalic acid crystals in the kidneys
or bladder. (See chapter on Oxalic Acid.)
EPILEPSY: 61
15 2 30 40
Nervous spasms sometimes
resulting from excessive toxemia and starvation of the nervous system. It is
sometimes caused by the presence of worms in the colon. One such instance was
that of a young woman about 26 years of age. After the 28th consecutive daily
colonic irrigation, a mass of worms as large as a man's fist passed. A few more
colonics made a clean sweep of them, and her epileptic seizures never recurred.
This may have been a coincidence, but many more such cases were definitely
educational.
ERYSIPELAS: 61 2
30 40
Same as Eczema but
accompanied by fever. The cause of both is the same.
EYETROUBLE: 1 61 50
See paragraph on
Cataracts and read section on Endive Juice.
FATIGUE: 1 61 30
An indication that the
cells of the body are not getting sufficient live atoms in the food to furnish
the constant flow of new energy needed. Fatigue is one of the precursors of
disease. The cumulative effect is the destruction of tissue cells and the
consequent accumulation of waste in the body; if not removed this will be
scavenged by germs and bacteria. Rest, sleep, cleansing of the colon, and
plenty of juices have been found to be the best method to overcome fatigue.
FATTY
DEGENERATION: 61
15 30 42
Excessive formation of
fatty cells and tissues around an organ.
FEVER: 22 23 24
The name orthodoxically
given to body temperature which rises above normal when Nature attempts to burn
up or incinerate waste matter in
the system. When there
is no excessive waste matter and the body cells are properly nourished there is
no need for fever. It has been found that by the use of enemas the fevered
condition has been alleviated within an amazingly short time.
GALL
BLADDER TROUBLE and
GALLSTONES: 30 61
40 29 23 (in
glass of hot water)
Cooked fats and fried
foods are the most common cause of a disorganized gall bladder function, see
paragraph on Biliousness. Gallstones and gravel, (in glass of however, are the
accumulation of inorganic calcium hot water) and other inorganic matter
collecting in the gall bladder due to the inability of the system to assimilate
them. All starch, bread and grain products are full of such inorganic calcium.
Eating plenty of these may tend to furnish a plentiful crop of gallstones and
gravel. The juice of a lemon in a glass of hot water, without sweetening taken
several times a day for 3 or 4 weeks has helped to dissolve these stones, when
the other juices indicated herein were used daily over the same period of time.
Nature never intended that man's gall bladder be removed by an operation. The
gall bladder is essential to the proper functioning of the liver. Our body is
our own, however, and if we are, through ignorance of its functioning, ready
and willing to submit it to the practicing of surgery, there is no one we can
blame but ourselves.
GASTRITIS: 61 15 30
Distress due to
excessive formation of gas in the system as a result of the improper
combination of foods. All flour, grain, and sugar products may have a tendency
to cause gastritis, and alcohol may do it quicker than any of these. Hot
condiments, consisting of hot peppers, mustard vinegar, tobacco, etc., are also
responsible for this condition. Raw foods, grated or chopped as finely as
possible, have been found repeatedly to be more beneficial than cooked foods.
GLANDS:
Every gland in the body
has a definite relation to every other gland either stimulating it, inhibiting
it or in some way or another exercising a controlling influence on it. Please
read carefully the section on the ENDOCRINE GLANDS. Understand the influence of
the various Glands on one another. It would be foolish for anyone to have a
"Gland Operation" without realizing what effect this would have on
the rest of the body. It would also be wise to learn how to nourish the glands
so that a complete balance may be established between them. Learn about the
mineral and chemical elements composing the glands and the juices which have
been found to be most efficient in nourishing them. Send for a copy of the
ENDOCRINE GLAND CHART alluded to in the preceding chapter above referred to,
frame it, and hang it where it can be studied constantly. It has saved many an
unnecessary operation.
GOITER: 61 59 2 (with the addition of 1/4 teaspoon of Powdered Kelp,
See Lettuce or Dulse)
Enlargement of the
thyroid gland due to lack of organic iodine in the diet. The use of chemical
iodine, and chemically prepared potassium iodide, is detrimental to the system
as they are inorganic, and may sooner or later result in deposits which may
cause damage to tissues in the body. The finest organic iodine is found in
dulse, sea lettuce, and kelp. (See chapter on Seaweed.)
GONORRHEA: 61 15
30 40 76 59
The result of the
propagation of the gonococcus germ due to an impure blood stream and the
presence of morbid matters as its feeding ground in the body, usually centering
in the region of the genitals. Physicians in France have found that Sandalwood
Oil in soluble capsules has proved of much benefit.
GOUT: 61 2 30 29 15 40 59
Inflammation of the
ligaments of a joint or bone, or bone lining, due to excessive use of alcohol
and other stimulants. Gout and rheumatism are almost identical twins.
GRAVEL: 30
40 59 23 (in
glass of hot water)
Inorganic matter, principally
the calcium of breads and other concentrated starches, forming granular
secretions in the kidneys.
HAIR: 53 66
Read the section on
ALFALFA JUICE.
HALITOSIS: 61
This word means
"bad breath". It results from the retention of fermented and putrefied
food waste in the body. The decay of teeth and so-called infection of tissues
is purely coincidental, also resulting from such retention of waste.
HAY
FEVER: 61
11 30 40 15 50 41
Abnormal secretions of
mucus in the eyes, nose, and air passages due to the excessive use of milk,
starches, and grain products. We have found that it is much more constructive
to avoid hypodermic injections than it is to avoid fresh air. See paragraph on
Asthma, which applies equally to Hay Fever.
HEADACHES: 61 2 30 55 15
Any one of more than 200
manifestations that the body is overloaded with waste matter. Nature's warning
to give the body a thorough cleansing, thus reestablishing the equilibrium of
the blood and releasing its excessive pressure in the regions of the head.
HEARTBURN: See PYROSIS.
HEARTTROUBLE: 61 2 30
Usually results from
impurities clogging up the blood vessels which in turn place an excessive
strain on the heart. After all, the heart is only about the size of one's fist,
it weighs only about 10 ounces, but nevertheless pumps 6 ounces of blood every
time it contracts. This does not seem much, but cumulatively it amounts to
about 5,000 gallons every 24 hours under normal conditions. Under stress,
however, this volume may reach as high as 25,000 gallons in the 24 hours.
During the normal sedentary lifetime of threescore years and ten there would be
about 3,000,000,000 (three billion) heartbeats, with an added 30% for so-called
stress and strain during that period. No man made mechanism could carry on
day-in-and-day-out without completely disintegrating within a very short time
if it did not get any better care than we give to our heart and the rest of our
body.
The blood carries
everything it picks up in the system, through the heart. Thus, the starch
molecules of bread and flour and of grain products, not being soluble in water,
have a tendency to clog up the blood stream. In such a condition it places an
excessive strain on the pumping mechanism of the heart, and trouble results.
Gas pressure in the region of the Splenic Flexure on the left hand side of the
transverse colon has been known to be the contributing factor in heart trouble.
My FOOT RELAXATION CHART, referred to towards the end of this book, has
assisted many students to be helpful in such conditions.
HEMORRHOIDS
(Piles): 62
61 2
The coagulation of blood
fibrin in the dead-ends of blood vessels in the lower part of the rectum as a
result of eating too much bread and other starch and grain products. Their
removal by means of a knife or electric needle is an excellent indoor sport for
all except the patient. Their recurrence is almost inevitable sooner or later,
when so removed, so long as the cause itself, namely the waste matter in the
blood stream, is not properly taken care of.
HERNIA: 61 1 2 15 30
Protrusion of any
internal organ wholly or in part from its normal position, due to lack of tone
in the surrounding membranes.
HIGH
BLOOD PRESSURE:
Excessive tension of the
blood in the arteries caused by improper diet. See paragraph, "BLOOD
PRESSURE, HIGH".
HIVES: Same as Urticaria, see Urticaria.
HODGKIN'S
DISEASE: 61
27 29 46
Swelling of the lymph
glands and the tonsils directly associated with a disturbance of the spleen,
the result of deficiency in, and unbalance of the diet. There is rarely any
hope after X-ray or radium are used because the ultimate effect of these is
beyond the control of man, as are also radioactive materials. A series of colon
irrigations, a rigid properly balanced and prepared raw food diet, and the
necessary fresh juices have been found to give satisfactory results.
IMPOTENCE: 15 1 30 27 40
31 59
Deficiency in
propagative ability in the sex act.
INDIGESTION: 23 (in glass of hot water) 61 1
30 15
The result of the
improper digestion of incompatible foods. It also results from eating while
under the stress and strain of worry, fear, or anxiety.
INFANTILE
PARALYSIS: 61
40 32 1 2
Also labeled
Poliomyelitis. Not as serious and common a disease as the publicity of it would
have us believe. The virus causing this disease cannot exist in healthy tissue.
Once it has obtained a foothold the logical step is to starve it by destroying
and removing from the body all waste matter that would enable it to survive. In
any case, prevention lies in the proper nourishment consisting of live organic
food which has not been cooked or processed. To reestablish the body to its
normal condition this has been found to be equally as imperative. The use of
drugs, by injection or otherwise, tends to delay progress as the cells and
tissues cannot be nourished back to health thereby. More infantile paralysis
could probably be traced to the consumption of pasteurized milk, sugar,
starches, cereals and to soft (carbonated) drinks than to any other cause.
INFLUENZA: 61 11
2 30 41 55
Caused by excessive
retention in the system of body and food waste resulting in a feeding and
breeding ground for
pathogenic bacteria, affecting principally the air passages, but accompanied by
fever and nervous prostration followed by great debility.
INSANITY: 61 37
30 1 15 2
40 59
Sometimes caused by a
derangement of the mental nervous system due to excessive toxins in the body
and insufficient organic nourishment. Even more frequently the contributing
factor has been found to emanate from excessive mental pressure resulting from
fears, resentment and similar disturbances.
INSOMNIA: 61 37 30 22
Inability to sleep as a
result of nervous tension or excessive acidity in the system.
ITCH: 61 30 15
1
An uncomfortable
condition caused by certain germs or bacteria attempting to leave the body by
way of the pores of the skin, resulting in the formation of postules and
accompanied by intense itching.
JAUNDICE: 61 30 29 40 1
The result of an
overburdened liver eliminating the excretion of bile by way of the lymph stream
through the pores of the skin.
KIDNEY
TROUBLE (Excessive Uric Acid, etc.): 30 61 40 29 59
The result of improper
and insufficient elimination of the end-products of excessive use of meat in
the diet. Beer, wines and liquor are primary factors in kidney trouble.
LARYNGITIS: 61 1 30 15
Inflammation of the
larynx due to the presence of morbid matter in the body.
LEUKEMIA: 1 26
48 53
Excessively rapid
increase of the white blood cells, causing the breakdown of red blood cells, as
a result of insufficient organic atoms in the diet — too much cooked food
starches, sugars and meats and not enough fresh juices, raw vegetables and
fruits.
LEUCORRHEA: 61 11 30 2
40 41 60 59
Excessive formation or
accumulation of mucus in the female genital organs and passages.
LIVERTROUBLE: 30 61 1 29 40 46
The result of eating an
excess of devitalized and concentrated starches, sugars, fats and meats. Beer,
wines and liquors are also primary factors in liver disturbances.
LOW
BLOOD PRESSURE:
Due to excessive use of
devitalized foods in the diet, resulting in deficiency of vital elements in the
blood stream. See BLOOD PRESSURE. LOW.
MALARIA
FEVER: 61
11 1 30 41 15
The pathological result
of an impure blood and excessive retention of morbid matter in the body while
in an atmosphere of foul or unwholesome air, enabling animal parasites, germs,
and bacteria to thrive and propagate in the system.
While the system has
been saturated with quinine, atabrine or other drugs, we would cleanse the
colon as often as necessary to rid the body of these drugs.
MASTOIDITIS: 61 32 2
The result of mucous
accumulations in the mastoid region of the skull behind the ear, causing
inflammation. The best means to create a good dose of mastoiditis is to feed
the child lots of cows milk, particularly the pasteurized and plenty of white
bread, cereals, cake, and other flour foods. The best way to prevent it, we
have found, is to avoid these. See paragraph under Colds.
MEASLES: 61 6 30 1 47
Germs and bacteria
surging out of the body through the skin. One of Nature's methods of house
cleaning the system, particularly in childhood.
MELANCHOLIA: 61 7 2 30 15 37
Toxic condition of the
body and undernourished nerve system resulting in morbid brooding. Lack of
self-confidence.
MENINGITIS: 61 30
2 1
The presence of the
Meningococcus germ in the system because of the accumulation of waste matter on
which this germ thrives. When the body is healthy the germ perishes from lack
of nourishment or passes on and out of the system, without affecting it.
MENOPAUSE: 61
32 73 30 2
The penalty women pay
for half a lifetime (40 50 years) of eating destructive foods which fail to
nourish the blood and in fact any part of the system so that it can be rapidly
and constantly regenerated.
MENSTRUATION: 61 59
30 68 2
A study of the ENDOCRINE
GLANDS CHART already referred to may reveal one or more of the primary causes
for disturbances in this connection. (See chapter on GLANDS.)
MIGRAINE: 61 2 30 15
47 37
Impure blood stream and
improperly nourished nerve centers causing intense ache usually on one side
only of the head, dulling and depressing the individual.
MULTIPLE
SCLEROSIS: 61
40 59 2 1
Degenerative state of
the nervous system due to starvation of nerve and cerebrospinal cells. This
disease is the most conclusive evidence of the destructive effect of starches
and grains used as food for humans. No permanent improvement has ever been
achieved in my 50 years of observation, while the patient was allowed to eat
bread cereals and other starchy foods. Many people however have been helped
slowly to recover, by omitting these, and meat, from the diet, eating instead
mostly raw fruits and vegetables, drinking at least 3 quarts of fresh RAW
juices daily, and with frequent colonic irrigations. The greatest danger in
this disease comes from neglecting to follow this program consistently, and so
develop secondary complications.
NEPHRITIS: 30 61 40 29 59
Inflammation of the
kidneys usually resulting from an excessive retention of acid. (Read chapter
on Proteins in the book,
DIET & SALAD SUGGESTIONS.)
NERVOUSNESS: 61
37 30 40 15
Irritability of certain
nerve centers due to organic alkaline deficiency.
NEURALGIA: 61 37 30 40
Intense pain in the
region of a nerve which has been improperly nourished.
NEURASTHENIA: 61 37 2 30 40 55
Functional depression of
the nervous system due to improper and insufficient organic nourishment and
materialized as a result of prolonged nervous strain, worry, anxiety, or
overwork.
NEURITIS: 23 30
61 40
The result usually of
uric acid crystals pressing against muscles and nerves, causing intense pain.
Eating meat is one of the primary causes of the presence of such a condition.
It generates such excessive amounts of uric acid that the muscles become
saturated with it, when it eventually forms into crystals.
OBESITY: 61 1 30 15 34
Excessive adipose tissue
resulting from incompatible combinations of foods and eating 34 excessive
quantities of starches and sugars. Sometimes due to a glandular disturbance.
Study the chapter on GLANDS. We have the following interesting report from
"Pavy on Food" about a Mr. Banting: After one year of eliminating
from his diet all starchy and fatty foods, and all alcoholic beverages
including beer, Mr. Banting lost 40 pounds in weight and 12 inches from his
midriff. After 7 years he wrote: "I can conscientiously assert that I
never lived so well as I now do as a result of following this new dietary plan,
one I would have formerly thought to be dangerous and an extravagant trespass
upon my health. I am considerably better, both physically and mentally, and
pleased to believe that I hold the reins of health and comfort in my own hands."
ORCHITIS: 30 61 40 29 37 59
Inflammation of Testes,
due to excessive retention of morbid matter in the system, and sometimes to
abuse.
OSTEOMYELITIS: 1 61 48 30 43
The breaking down of the
structure of the bone, usually accompanied by oozing of pus. The bone, like
every other part of the body, requires live, organic nourishment. Without it
the cells starve, the waste matter accumulates, and the structure crumbles.
OXIDATION
(Low): 61 30 37 46 55
Lack of oxygen
assimilation due to insufficient organic iron in the system.
PARALYSIS: 61 40
30 6
Loss of power to control
or coordinate the voluntary and involuntary muscles, due to starvation of the
nerve centers.
PARALYSIS
(Infantile): See INFANTILE PARALYSIS
Inability of the body to
replenish and regenerate the spinal fluid due to improper metabolism, an excess
of devitalized starches and sugars and a great deficiency in organic elements
in the diet.
PARESIS: 61 2
40 30 6 47
Functional inability of
the cerebral nerves to coordinate, due to lack of proper organic nourishment.
PERITONITIS: 61 30 40 15
Inflammation of the
lining of the abdominal cavity.
PHLEBITIS: 61 2 30
Inflammation of veins
due to the presence of excessive quantities of starch, calcium and morbidity in
the system.
PILES:
(See Hemorrhoids.)
PLEURISY: 30 61 40
Inflammation of the
pleura due to the improper elimination of morbid matter from the body, usually
accompanied with fever and pains when breathing.
PNEUMONIA:
Inflammation of the lung
tissues due to the presence of abnormal quantities of mucus and other morbid
matter in the system, as a result of drinking milk and the excessive use of
concentrated starches and sugars,
POLIO: See INFANTILE PARALYSIS
PREGNANCY:
Without exception, the
most important period in the life of the unborn child. Uncontrolled habits,
smoking, drinking alcoholic and "soft drink" beverages as well as
cow's milk (particularly when pasteurized), and eating excessive quantities of
concentrated starch, grain, and sugar foods on the part of the pregnant woman,
all tend towards mineral deficiency in the child. Raw vegetables and fruits,
which are live organic foods, supplemented with an ample volume daily of fresh
raw vegetable juices, as the regular daily diet have resulted in bright,
healthy children as well as mothers. Try it! Read the whole chapter on CARROT
JUICE.
PROLAPSUS:
The falling of an organ
from its normal position due to loss of tone in the nerve and muscular system
as a result of improper diet.
PROSTATE
TROUBLE:
The result either of
excesses, or of a lack of vital live nourishment in the food for years past.
PSORIASIS:
A group or colony of
germs feeding on morbid matter and body waste in the system attempting to leave
the body by way of the skin, thus creating an irritation.
PYELITIS:
Inflammation in the
region of the pelvis or the kidneys usually due to an excessive retention of
uric acid in the system.
PYORRHEA:
Inflammation of the gums
and the loosening of the teeth because of the presence of excessive waste
matter in the entire
system, and the deficiency in the diet of live organic food.
PYROSIS
(Heart-burn): 30 61 29 40 59
Intense burning
sensation, due to the presence of excessive uric acid or other morbid matter,
resulting from the fermentation and putrefaction of improper combinations of
food.
QUINSY: 61 30
2 1
Inflammation of the
throat due to the presence of excessive body and food waste in the system. When
an abscess forms, it is the localizing of waste matter in the region of the
tonsils (See TONSILS).
RACHITIS
(Rickets): 61 1
48 37 6
30 46
Deficiency of organic
calcium and other elements resulting in deformity, softness, or flexibility of
the bone.
RENAL
CALCULUS (Kidney Stones): 23
30 61 40 29
28 59 (in glass of hot water)
Inorganic matter,
principally the calcium in concentrated starches, forming concretions in the
kidneys.
RHEUMATISM: 23
30 61
Meat and meat products
of any kind, cannot be digested without an excessive accumulation of uric acid
in the system. (Read the chapter on Carrot, Beet and Cucumber Juice). Retained
in the body, this uric acid is absorbed into the muscles and sooner or later
crystallizes. These sharp uric acid crystals are the cause of the pain in
Rheumatism. (Read chapter on Protein in DIET & SALAD Book.)
RHINITIS: 61 30
40 11
Inflammation of the
nasal membrane principally due to the presence of excessive quantities of mucus
in the sinus cavities.
SCARLET
FEVER: 30
61 68 47 66
The rebellion of the
body against the accumulation of food waste and body waste in the system as a
result of eating too much cooked and not enough raw food and juices.
SCIATICA: 30 61 40 28
29 59
Inflammation of the
Sciatic nerve or surrounding muscle, usually due to the presence of excessive
uric acid in the system.
SCLEROSIS: 61 62
32 30
A hardening of any
tissue of the body. (See also Multiple Sclerosis.)
SCROFULA: 61 2 15 40 30
The formation of pus in
the glands due to the presence of inorganic matter in the food eaten.
SCURVY: 61 15 2 30
The result of an
improperly balanced diet with insufficient organic nourishment.
SEXUAL
DISEASES: 61
30 2 15 40
29 28
Sometimes due to
overindulgence leading to inflammation, and weakened organs due to lack of
sufficient organic nourishment, resulting in disturbed functions, and the
presence of morbid matter inviting the propagation of germs and infection.
SINUS
TROUBLE: 61 11
30 1
Usually due to excessive
mucus resulting from excessive use of milk and frequently also of starches and
sugars.
SLEEPLESSNESS: 61 22
37 30
The result of excessive
nervous tension and the improper elimination of waste from the body.
SMALLPOX: 61 30
1 2 37 40
53 55
Excessive volumes of
putrid waste matter in the body resulting in the propagation therein of the
virulent germs responsible for this disease, which after the first burst of
propagation leave the body by way of the pores of the skin. A body which is
clean inside and out, and properly nourished with live organic food and fresh
raw juices in abundance and variety, does not propagate this germ and is
therefore immune to this disease.
STERILITY: 61
30 1 2
29 40 48
A condition occasionally
due to functional disorganization of the organism. As a general rule it is due
to the lack of live, organic atoms in the food for
years past, and the
consequent accumulation of waste in the system.
SYPHILIS: 61 30
66 62 51 46
The name given to the
presence in the body of the Spirochaeta Pallida germ, when this germ finds the
right kind of waste matter in the system on which it can thrive and propagate.
This waste matter usually results from such foods as starch and meat products,
and pasteurized milk.
THROMBOSIS: 62 2
61 30
The result of the
coagulation of a clot of blood obstructing a blood vessel because of the
presence in the blood stream of starch molecules from breads, cereals, and
other starches which are not soluble in water.
TONSILLITIS: 61 30
1 2
The result of the
overworking of the tonsils causing them to become inflamed. The tonsils are the
first line of defense and their function is to control the entrance into the
body of too large an army of germs when the waste matter in the body
accumulates too rapidly. The removal of tonsils is analogous to castration. It
also affects the personality often transforming the child or adult into an
impotent individual, and females into slovenly, frigid characters. A rapid
degeneration of the body structure has often been observed. (Reports by Drs, I.
& G. Calderoli of Bergamo, Italy; "II Sottosesso nei popoli senza
tonsille," after having collected more than 30,000 of their case histories
resulting from their work in the Universities of Berlin and of Vienna. (I have
conferred personally with Doctor Calderoli and can vouch for the accuracy of
their reports. Their collaborators were among others. Doctors: Passow, Killian,
Halle, Jansen, Albrecht, Gutzman, Hofer, Piehler, Marschik.)
TOXEMIA: 61 30 37 15 40
Poisoning either as a
result of undue retention of body waste or of the end-products of metabolism or
digestion, creating an overacid condition.
TUBERCULOSIS: 61 45
1 30 2 11
37 40 41
The result of excessive
mucus in the system causing the propagation of the tubercular germ, which by
its presence and mode of existence is destructive to the tissues in its
proximity. Cow's milk, both the raw and the pasteurized, is probably the most
mucus-forming food used by man, and such mucus is the natural breeding food for
such germs. Probably more tuberculosis results from using pasteurized milk than
from any other cause.
TUMORS (in Brain, in Bones, in Liver, in Uterus): 62 61 30 40
Growths sometimes due to
a lack of sufficient organic elements and caused by the excessive use of concentrated
inorganic foods, mostly flour products. Contributing factors are such
destructive negative slates of mind as lifelong resentments, anger,
frustration, etc.
TYPHOID: 61 30 28 1
37 6
A condition due
to the lack of certain organic elements in the body, allowing the propagation
therein of germs causing, by their presence, a mesenteric fever.
ULCERS
(chiefly gastric): 61
1 30 5 37 6
A deficiency disease
caused by unhealthy tissue as a result of eating incompatible combinations of
food leaving fermentation and putrefaction as their end-product. Can also be
attributed to excessive worry and the other negative contributing factors
listed under the headings of CANCER and TUMORS.
UNDULANT
FEVER: 61 30
20 22 23
One of the several means
Nature adopts to burn up or incinerate waste matter in the system. In this case
the germ, active in breaking down the waste, acts as a stoker — figuratively
speaking — raising the temperature of the body at intervals, and sometimes
continuously. No waste — no fever! Undulant fever germs thrive on pasteurized
milk.
UREMIA: 30 61 29 40 59
The presence of urea and
other urinary excretions in the blood.
URTICARIA
(Hives): 61
2 30 15 1
An excessively acid
condition of the body trying to become normal by means of excretion through the
skin. (See Allergy.)
VARICOSE
VEINS: 61
2 30 62 15
The result of diets rich
in concentrated starches and sugars causing calcareous deposits to form in the
wall structure of the veins.

"I can truthfully
say that I am never conscious of my age. Since I reached maturity I have never
been aware of being any older, and I can say, without equivocation or mental
reservation, that I feel more alive, alert, and full of enthusiasm today than I
did when I was 30 years old. I still feel that my best years are ahead of me. I
never think of birthdays, nor do I celebrate them. Today I can truthfully say
that I am enjoying vibrant health, I don't mind telling people how old I am: I
AM AGELESS!"

P/S:
We used to be green life-styles with so much of fruits and all kinds of flowers. We lived in The Gods’ Angels and people’s love, nice, friendly and generous kind. We called Green Land in the past; with the Green-Wich. It was such warm and sun shining everywhere. It was very wonderful. We used to have lots of fruits and vegetables, we all love fruits and vegetables. We did not kill or destroy any kind of tree, animal, mammal, bird, castle, fish, reptile, insect, snail, lobster, crab, etc.,…. any sort of being. And especially, we all love each other and we are nice, very friendly at all. Our places used to be called Green Land. It is just because of our brilliant ancient history of the Green Land with many lovely Gods, Angels, Fairies very similar to the modern Buddha, Bodhisattva, Gurus, Masters, Trainers, Trainee, Venerable, Rinpoche, Yogis, etc., ….Thanks a lot for all of us. Bye, Tai Chen, SayoNARA, Tam Biet, Bye Bye, Adios, Au revoir, …..
