STRESS: A LESSON FROM THE LABORATORY
An interesting study demonstrated what happens when the powerful stress hormones are released too often.

IMMUNE FOR LIFE: EXCERCISING YOUR “DOCTOR WITHIN”
I was sitting in my office with a pleasant 42-year-old-banker. His medical and personal history had been taken, his physical examination was completed and his test results had been returned to me. His outlook was good, but his health was only fair. After discussing Super Foods and other recommendations, I suggested that he embark on [...]

FOODS FOR IMMUNE: WET YOUR WHISTLE WITH A LIQUID SUPER FOOD
Be good to your body. Give it lots of water. Not coffee or soda or hot chocolate, but water. Men’s bodies are approximately 60 percent water; women’s are about 50 percent water.

FALSE FOOD ALLERGY: WHEN FOOD BITES BACK (LECTINS)
The main characteristic of lectins is that they bind to carbohydrate molecules carried on the surface of all cells. As a result, they make red blood cells clump together, and this is how they are recognized in the laboratory.

THE CURATIVE PROPERTIES OF CHICKEN AND CHICKEN FAT – CASE
And here is another experience with chicken fat which is just as interesting. In a lonely farmstead a young man hurt himself badly while felling a tree. The axe went right into his knee and cracked the knee cap. He dragged himself to the house with difficulty. There was no doctor for miles around and, [...]

VARIOUS DIETS AND TREATMENTS – PAPAIN – ITS ORIGIN AND USES (WHERE DO THESE PLANTS SUDDENLY SPRING FROM?)
The answer escaped me for quite a while, but I found it in the end, and it is actually very simple. You see, birds like papaya too and when they find the fruit growing in clearings they swoop down and pick at them, seeds and all. Off they fly again and on the way their [...]

VARIOUS DIETS AND TREATMENTS – THE THERAPEUTIC VALUE OF THE SEA; SEA AIR
People who do not live by the sea dream of the beach and surf, especially when they sit down to plan their holidays. They long to see the play of the waves, how they break on the immovable rocks, roll and foam and then fizzle out on the golden sands. The waves approach the beach, [...]

SEASONINGS – CULINARY HERBS ARE MEDICINES – ROSEMARY
Isabella, Queen of Hungary, had much to do with rosemary’s reputation as a rejuvenating tonic. This simple but beautiful shrub with its little leaves and flowers is known everywhere as a sweet herb and a remedy and is used in herbal medicine because of its beneficial effect on the vasomotor nerves and the heart nerves.

WILD FRUITS AND BERRIES – HAWTHORN (CRATAEGUS OXYACANTHA)
The splendid remedy, Crataegisan, is made from the dark red berries, haws, to be found hanging in small bunches from the thorny hawthorn shrubs by the wayside or in the meadows every autumn. When I was a child, my friends and I called them ‘mealy berries’. We children did not know anything about them, except [...]
