Diet & Health: A Daily Diet to Regain Health

Man's body, emotions and mind are a part of Nature and need constantly to be in tune with Nature to attract their supply for sustenance, breath, warmth and moisture for growth and life. Food and liquids supply the earthy elements of replacement for the structure. Air and warmth of sunshine supply the energy elements of motion and function.

When these energy currents flow freely without interruption there is a state of balance by being in tune with Nature, which is freedom of motion and function, called health. But any interference in this natural flow of energy manifests as a multitude of pains and symptoms of energy blocks, where the current is short-circuited and broken down. This is called "disease" named after the structure plus 'itis' (inflammation) or 'algia' (pain), such as appendicitis, neuralgia or a complete breakdown 'lysis,' like in paralysis.

There are over fifteen hundred diseases, and only the transgression of Nature is the cause of most of them. Therefore, by removing the cause, a multitude of symptoms will disappear. Hence, keeping the skin active, as well as internal cleanliness and natural food which can be digested, are great factors in maintaining health and balance with Nature.

When ill, in pain or in fever, give the body a rest from food and simply drink hot water with lime, lemon, or grapefruit juice in it, for a few days, until you feel better. "Starve a cold LEST you feed a fever" is an old slogan and a good one to follow. Animals do all this naturally and instinctively, but man is ignorant of Nature's simple way.

Baths: A warm bath in the morning is very good. For this bath use a wash cloth with soap on it and also some baking soda (soda bicarb [sodium bicarbonate]) and table salt on the soapy cloth. Mix two parts of soda with one of the salt (not in the water but dry on the wash cloth that is wet and soapy). This should be used on the face, neck and allover the body. It is a cleansing and refreshing bath, and has the soothing effect of bathing in the ocean. Such a bath removes the gummy substance from the pores and eliminates body odor. Then rinse well with warm
