Tip 1. Enzymes are good medicine.
To defeat stubborn diseases, consume
enzymes in fresh, uncooked foods and in
supplements.
Enzymes are chemical substances produced
in the living organism. They are marvellous
organic catalysts which are essential to life as
they control all the chemical reactions that
take
place in a living system. Enzymes are part of
all living cells, including those of plants and
animals.
The term enzyme, which literally means in
yeast', was coined following the
demonstration of
catalytic properties of yeast and yeast juices.
Although enzymes are produced in the living
cell,
they are not dependent upon the vital
processes of the cell and work outside the
cell. Certain
enzymes of yeast, for instance, when
expressed from the yeast cells are capable of
exerting
their usual effect, that is, the conversion of
sugar to alcohol.

2. It has been estimated that there are over
20,000 enzymes in the human body. This
estimate is
based on the number of bodily processes that
seem to require action. However, so far only
about 1,000 enzymes have been identified.
But their great role in nutrition and other living
processes has been firmly established. They
are protein molecules made up of chains of
amino acids. They play a vital role and work
more efficiently than any reagent concocted
by
chemists.
Thus for instance, a chemist can separate
proteins into their component amino acids by
boiling
them at 166 o C for over 18 hours in a strong
solution of hydrochloric acid, but the enzymes
of
the small intestines can do so in less than
three hours at body temperature in a neutral
medium.
A feature which distinguishes enzymes from
inorganic catalysts is that they are absolutely
specific in their actions. This means that a
particular enzyme can cause reactions
involving

3. only a particular type of substance or a group
of closely related substances. The substance
on
which the enzyme acts is known as
"substrate." The specificity of an enzyme is,
however,
related to the formation of the enzyme-
substrate complex which requires that the
appropriate
groupings of both substrate and enzyme
should be in correct relative position. The
substrate
must fit the enzyme like a key fits its lock.
Tip 2. Eschew the eating of flesh.
Flesh is often a carrier of disease germs.
Diseases of many kinds are on the increase in
the animals, making flesh foods more and
more
unsafe. People are continually eating flesh
that may contain tuberculosis and cancerous
germs. Often animals are taken to the market
and sold for food when they are so diseased
that
their owners do not wish to keep them any
longer. And some of the processes of
fattening

4. them to increase their weight and
consequently their market value, produce
disease. Shut
away from light and pure air, breathing the
atmosphere of filthy stables, perhaps fattening
on
decaying foods, the entire body now becomes
contaminated with foul matter.
If you do not eat meat, you are spared its
contamination.
Tip 3. Chew, chew, chew, for it's the thing
to do.
The process of digestion begins in the mouth.
The saliva in the moth, besides helping to
masticate the food, carries an enzyme called
ptyalin which begins the chemical action of
digestion. It initiates the catabolism
(breakdown) of carbohydrates by converting
starches into
simple sugars. This explains the need for
thorough mastication of starchy food in the
mouth. If
this is not done the ptyalin cannot carry out its
functions as it is active in an alkaline, neutral
or
slightly acid medium and is inactivated by the
highly acid gastric juices in the stomach.

5. Although enzymatic action starts while food is
being chewed, digestion moves into high gear
only when the chewed food has passed the
esophagus and reached the stomach. While
the
physical action of peristalsis churns and
kneads solid food into a semi-solid
amorphous mixture
called chyme, this mixture undergoes
chemical changes initiated by gastric juices
secreted by
the walls of the stomach. These juices include
mucus for lubricating the stomach,
hydrochloric
acid and gastric juice.
The enzyme or active principle of the gastric
juice is pepsin. This enzyme in combination
with
hydrochloric acid starts the breakdown of
proteins into absorbable amino acids called
polypeptides. An additional enzyme, rennin,
plays an important role in the stomach of the
infant. It curdles milk and allows the pepsin to
work upon it. The gastric juice has no effect
upon starches or fats.
Tip 4. Eat plant foods for faster healing.

6. An exclusive diet of raw juices of fruits and
vegetables results in much faster recovery
from
diseases and more effective cleansing and
regeneration of the tissues than the fasting on
pure
water.
"During fasting the body burns up and
excretes huge amounts of accumulated
wastes. We can
help this cleansing process by drinking
alkaline juices instead of water while fasting. I
have
supervised many fasts and made extensive
examinations and tests of fasting patients,
and I
am convinced that drinking alkali-forming fruit
and vegetable juices, instead of water, during
fasting will increase the healing effect of
fasting. Elimination of uric acid and other
inorganic
acids will be accelerated. And sugars in juices
will strengthen the heart. Juice fasting is,
therefore, the best form of fasting."
Tip 5. Safety measures for preventing back
pain.

7. Certain safety measures, especially, for
people in sedentary occupation, are
necessary to
relieve and prevent backache. The most
important of these is exercise which improves
the
supply of nutrients to spinal discs, thereby
delaying the process of deterioration that
comes
with age and eventually affects everybody.
Safe exercises include walking, swimming
and
bicycling.
The latter should be done keeping the back
upright. Controlling one's weight is another
important step towards relieving backache as
excess weight greatly increases the stress on
soft back tissues.
Those with sedentary occupations should take
a break to stand up every hour. Soft
cushioned
seats should be avoided and position should
be changed as often as possible. Persons
with
back problems should sleep on a firm
mattress on their sides with knees bent at
right angles to

8. the torso. They should take care never to
bend from the waist down to lift any object but
instead should swat close to the object,
bending the knees but keeping the back
straight, and
then stand up slowly.
Tip 6. Prevention is better than cure in
anaemia.
Anaemia is much more easily prevented than
corrected. A liberal intake of iron in the
formative
years can go a long way in preventing iron-
deficiency anaemia.
Diet is of the utmost importance in the
treatment of anaemia. Almost every nutrient is
needed
for the production of red blood cells,
haemoglobin and the enzymes, required for
their
synthesis. Refined food like white bread,
polished rice, sugar, and desserts rope the
body of
the much-needed iron.
Iron should always be taken in its natural
organic form as the use of inorganic can
prove hazardous, destroying the protective
vitamins and unsaturated fatty acids, causing

9. serious liver damage and even miscarriage
and delayed or premature births. The
common
foods rich in natural organic iron are wheat
and wheat grain cereals, brown rice and rice
polishings, green leafy vegetables, cabbage,
carrot, celery, beets, tomatoes, spinach; fruits
like
apples, berries, cherries, grapes, raisins, figs,
dates, peaches and eggs. It has been proved
that a generous intake of iron alone will not
help in the regeneration of haemoglobin. The
supplies of protein, too, should be adequate.
The diet should, therefore, be adequate in
proteins of high biological value such as those
found in milk, cheese and egg. Copper is also
essential for the utilisation of iron in the
building of haemoglobin.
Tip 7. The alcoholic must choose sobriety.
The treatment of alcoholism begins with
resolute choice of the alcoholic to recover.
The chronic alcoholic first of all must make a
firm resolve to stop drinking. He should
abstain
from alcohol all at once for the habit cannot be
got rid of in gradual stages.

10. The most effective way to treat alcoholism is
to build the body's nutritional integrity soaps to
prevent craving for stimulants like drinks. The
patients should be put on a cleansing juice
fast
for at least ten days in the beginning. During
this period, he should have juice of an orange
every two hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The
juice may be diluted with warm water, if
desired. If
orange juice does not agree, vegetable juices
may be taken. Each day while fasting, bowels
should be cleansed of effete and poisonous
matter thrown off by the self-cleansing
process set
up by the body. This can be achieved by
warm water enema.
During the juice fast, the patient will usually
feel no craving for alcohol. This will give a
good 10
day start towards breaking the drinking habit
and would help remove not only the physical
dependence but also the psychological
factors. After the initial fast on juices, the
optimum diet

11. of vital nutrients is essential. Such a diet
should consist of whole grains, cereals, nuts,
seeds
and sprouts, fresh fruits and vegetables.
Tip 8. The cause of bronchitis is not a
germ, but the diet.
The chief cause of bronchitis is wrong feeding
habits.
The habitual use of refined foods such as
white sugar, refined cereals and white-flour
products
results in the accumulation of morbid matter in
the system and collection of toxic waste in the
bronchial tube. Another important cause of
this disease is smoking. Excessive smoking
irritates
the bronchial tubes and lowers their
resistance so that they become vulnerable to
germs
breathed in from the atmosphere.
Other causes of bronchitis are living or
working in stuffy atmosphere, use of drugs to
suppress
earlier diseases and hereditary factors.
Changes in weather and environment are
common
factors for the onset of the disease.

12. Tip 9. The more fibre, the better.
The more fibre, the better.
There are divergent views as to the
requirement of dietary fibre for good health.
There is no
recommended daily dietary allowance for it
and hardly any data about optimum amounts.
Some Africans known for lower incidence of
degenerative diseases take about 150 grams
of
fibre a day. In Europe and North America,
where there is a high incidence of such
diseases,
people take 25 grams or less a day. a noted
fibre expert in England,
considers that a fibre intake of 30 grams
(about one ounce) per day is sufficient for
good
health.
Excessive consumption of fibre, especially
bran, should however, be avoided. Due to its
content of crude fibre, bran is relatively harsh
and it may irritate the delicate functioning of
the
digestive system, especially in the sick and
the weak. Excessive use of fibre may also
result in

13. loss of valuable minerals like calcium,
phosphorus, magnesium and potassium from
the body
through excretion due to quick passage of
food from the intestine.
Tip 10. The real causes of eczema.
Many opine that eczema results from an
imbalance of the immune system. This is not
correct.
The real cause of eczema however is the
failure of the human system to excrete the
poisons
from the various orifices of the body. Waste
matter is excreted from the rectum through
stools,
from the bladder through urine, from the lungs
through breath and from the pores of the skin
through sweat. Sometime the pores of the
skin are overworked as waste matter is not
properly
eliminated from the other orifices. If the pores
are not given the chance to perform their
normal
function, the sweat will be full of morbid matter
and this gives rise to skin diseases like
eczema,
acne, boils and other eruptions.

14. Tip 11. The real causes of heart disease.
The most important cause of arteriosclerosis
is excessive intake of white sugar, refined
foods
and high fat diet, rich in cholesterol.
A sedentary life and excesses of all kinds are
the major contributing causes. Hardening of
the
arteries may also be caused by other
diseases such as high blood pressure,
obesity, diabetes,
rheumatism, Bright's disease, malaria, and
syphilis.
Emotional stress also plays an important part,
and heart attacks are more common during
the
periods of mental and emotional disturbances,
particularly in those engaged in sedentary
occupations. Heredity also plays its role and
this disease runs in families.
Tip 12. The reality of food allergies.
Despite the scepticism of American
specialists, food allergy is an important cause
of disease.
There are two methods to detect disturbing
foods. The first method is the trial-and- error

15. elimination diet. This automatically eliminates
many hazards and foods. Keep to organic,
untreated, unprocessed foods as far as
possible and you will eliminate another set of
hazards
such as pesticides, various sprays and other
poisons.
After having eliminated as many disturbing
factors as possible, a self-search should be
carried
out to ascertain any suspicious symptoms
from foods. It is advisable to try an elimination
diet,
excluding suspected foods for two weeks until
the cause is detected. Occasionally, by
changing the brand or the type, you can find a
food substitute that does not upset you.
Tip 13. Ten Commandments for Problem
Drinkers
Here are the Ten Commandments for
Problem Drinkers, These are:
(i) Never drink when you "need one."
(ii) Sip slowly.
(iii) Space your drinks, waiting 30 minutes for
a second drink after the first and then an hour
before the third.
(iv) Dilute your alcohol.

16. (v) Keep an accurate and truthful records of
the number of drinks you take.
(vi) Never conceal the amount you drink.
(vii) Never drink on an empty stomach.
(viii) Never drink on cue (for lunch, for dinner,
just because you are tired, in bedroom
seduction, because you are bored or
frustrated, or at bedtime).
(ix) Never take a drink in the morning to break
a hangover.
(x) And never drink to escape discomfort,
either physical or mental.
Tip 14. Raw Juice Therapy? Timing is
everything!
When on a raw juice therapy, the prescribed
juice should be drunk every three hours. One
can
thus take juices five to six times a day. A
glass of water mixed with lemon juice and 20
to 30
grams of honey may be taken first thing in the
morning on arising.
Thereafter, the prescribed juice may be taken
at three-hourly intervals. The quantity of juice
on
each occasion may be 250 ml on the first day.
This quantity may be increased by 50 ml each

17. succeeding day until one takes 600 ml on
each occasion.
The juice diet can be continued for 30 to 40
days without any ill-effects. The patient should
take
adequate rest during the raw juice therapy.
Tip 15. To treat high blood pressure, get
enough sleep.
Persons suffering from hypertension must
ensure at least eight hours of restful sleep,
because
proper rest is an important aspect of the
treatment. Most important of all, the patient
must avoid
over-straining, worries, tension, anger and
haste.
The person who has hypertension must try to
be cheerful and develop a contented mind.
The
natural treatment may take sometime but it is
the safest and best way to get rid of this
disease.
Tip 16. Treat acne from the inside out.
For treatment of acne, eschew topical
medicaments.
The treatment of acne by the administration of
salve or ointment does not serve any purpose.

18. They only suppress the action of the
sebaceous glands temporarily. In nature cure,
the main
emphasis is on diet and certain water
applications. To begin with the patient should
resort to all
-fruit diet for about a week. In this regimen,
there should be three meals a day, consisting
of
fresh juicy fruits, such as apples, pears,
grapes, grapefruit, pineapple and peaches.
Citrus
fruits, bananas, dried, stewed or tinned fruits
should not be taken. Unsweetened lemon or
plain
water, either hot or cold, should be drunk and
nothing else. During this period, warm-water
enema should be taken daily to cleanse the
bowels and all other measures adopted to
eradicate constipation.
After a week of all fruit diet, the patient can
gradually adopt a well-balanced diet.
Emphasis
should be on raw foods, especially fresh fruits
and vegetables, sprouted seeds, raw nuts and

19. whole grain cereals, especially millet and
brown rice. Further shorter periods on the all-
fruits for
three days, or so may be necessary at a
monthly interval until the condition of the skin
improves.
Strict attention to diet is essential for recovery.
Starchy, protein and fatty foods, should be
restricted. Meats, sugar, strong tea or coffee,
condiments, pickles, refined and processed
foods
should all be avoided, as also soft drinks,
candies, ice cream and products made with
sugar
and white flour.
Tip 17. Treat hardening of the arteries
(arteriosclerosis) with fresh air and warm
bath.
The patient should undertake plenty of
outdoor exercise and eliminate all mental
stress and
worries. Even lying in the sun motionless in
the early morning or just before dusk may be
helpful.
Prolonged neutral immersion baths at bed
time on alternate days is beneficial. This bath

20. is administered in a bath tub which should be
properly fitted with hot and cold water
connection.
The bath-tub should be fitted with water at a
temperature ranging from 92º to 98º F and the
patient should lie in it for an hour or so. The
head should be kept cold with a cold
compress.
Tip 18. Treat bronchitis with moist heat.
In addition to diet, treat bronchitis with a hot
poultice.
A simple hot poultice of linseed should be
applied over the front and back of the chest. It
will
greatly relieve pain. Poultices act by diluting
the vessels of the surface and thereby
reducing
the blood pressure. The heat of the poultice
acts as a cardiac stimulant. A poultice should
be
applied neatly and carefully and should be
often renewed, so that it does not hamper
respiration.
Turpentine may be rubbed over the chest with
fomentation for the same object.
Tip 19. What you need to know before you
start a diet, especially a raw juice diet.

21. Give care before starting a raw juice diet.
Certain precautions are necessary in adopting
an exclusive diet of raw juices. Firstly,
all juices should be made fresh immediately
before drinking. Canned and frozen juices
should
not be used. It will be advisable that one
should have one's own juicer for extracting
fresh
juices.
Secondly, only fresh ripe fruits and
vegetables, preferably organically grown,
should be used
for extraction of juices.
Thirdly, only as much juice as needed for
immediate consumption should be
extracted. Raw juices oxidise rapidly and lose
their medicinal value in storage, even under
refrigeration.
Fourthly, the quality of the juices has a distinct
bearing on the results obtained. In
case of incomplete extraction of juices, their
effective power is proportionately reduced due
to
the absence of the vitamins and enzymes
which are left behind in fibre and the pulp.

22. Finally, if juices are too sweet they should be
diluted in water on 50: 50 basis or mixed with
other less sweet juices. This is especially
important in some specific conditions such as
diabetes, hypoglycaemia, arthritis and high
blood pressure.
Tip 20. What you need to know about fruit.
Like vegetables, fruits are an excellent source
of minerals, vitamins and enzymes. They are
easily digested and exercise a cleansing
effect on the blood and digestive tract. They
contain
high alkaline properties, a high percentage of
water and a low percentage of proteins and
fats.
Their organic acid and high sugar content
have immediate refreshing effects.
Apart from seasonable fresh fruits, dry fruits,
such as raisins, prunes and figs are also
beneficial. Fruits are at their best when eaten
in the raw and ripe states. In cooking, the
loose
portions of the nutrient salts and
carbohydrates. They are most beneficial when
taken as a

23. separate meal by themselves, preferably for
breakfast in the morning. If it becomes
necessary
to take fruits with regular food, they should
form a larger proportion of the meals. Fruits,
however, make better combination with milk
than with meals. It is also desirable to take
one
kind of fruit at a time. For the maintenance of
good health, at least one pound of uncooked
fruits should form part of the daily diet. In case
of sickness, it will be advisable to take fruits in
the form of juices.
