Needless to say, the better filters are more expensive, but a high price is not an unfailing guide to quality, so you need to ask some searching questions: Does it contain silver? (If not, then it is probably dangerous.) Is the filter registered with the EPA? What is the registration number? If not EPA registered, [...]
This is meant to be a very simple, basic diet, in which you consume nothing but your allowed foods. No herbs, no spices, no flavourings, nothing tinned and no packaged foods of any sort. It is not going to be a gastronomic delight, but the diet does not last long and it may make you [...]
None of these preventive measures is foolproof, unfortunately. Some children go on to develop allergies, come what may. So a philosophical outlook is essential – do what you can to protect the child from allergens and irritants but accept that it may sometimes be impossible. Above all, try not to get too anxious. A child [...]
David was very restless as a baby and slept little. By the time he could toddle he was a constant worry to his mother, because he was ‘into everything’ and could not be left alone for a minute. Getting him to bed in the evening was almost impossible, and when he was forced to do [...]
To add to the myths about food, there are some long-standing misconceptions about human digestion that fuel the arguments over food sensitivity. The most important one is that food is broken down into very small molecules before any of it is absorbed. Every school biology student is taught this: that the enzymes in the mouth, [...]
To obtain scientifically acceptable evidence in this matter would involve costly experiments. In any case, what really matters are the results of our practical experience with herbs and herb extracts. For instance, we know it to be true that St John’s wort grown at alpine altitudes is richer in active substances and more efficacious than [...]
This unpleasant condition can also be treated with biological remedies, an excellent one being Molkosan. Used externally, this natural, concentrated, whey product, containing 15 per cent lactic acid, will give good results. Soak a cotton pad with it and dab the affected areas. Repeat the application after about five minutes, this time using Echinaforce instead. [...]
I have known patients who lived a healthy life and were never really ill, yet they were not really well either, because they did nothing about their dental abscesses. They would suffer from headaches, slight indisposition, excessive tiredness or pains somewhere in the body, but these would temporarily disappear with treatment. The condition always changed, [...]
Vegetarians often claim that one cannot get cancer if one leads a natural life. So it is an understandable tragedy when someone with a healthy life-style and strictly vegetarian diet falls victim to cancer. But what explanation is there for the fact that vegetarians, advocates of natural remedies and treatments, even leading figures in this [...]
It is estimated that 4-7 per cent of the world’s population are afflicted by the dreadful, painful scourge called arthritis. Two to three hundred thousand people in Switzerland have fallen victim to it and millions of people elsewhere in Europe and the United States can speak of their personal experience of arthritis, many of whom [...]
