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 [...]
Our acquired immunity cannot completely protect us from colds either if the body lacks vitamins, for example. Calcium deficiency, a low calcium level, is another important factor. Furthermore, we have to look out for signs of exhaustion. Heavy demands on our energies are closely connected with a greater consumption of vitamins and calcium. Should circumstances [...]
First of all, the nose is designed in such a way that the mucous membranes keep dust and bacteria from entering the body, provided, of course, that we breathe in and out through the nose and that it is not blocked. It is true that we can also breathe through the mouth rather than the [...]
The pituitary, 12 by 8 mm in size (like a bean), serves our body in a similar way to that of an inconspicuous general who commands a large army, or the person in the control tower who directs and manoeuvres huge jet planes entering and leaving an international airport. This gland weighs only a few [...]
The disease has an incubation period of about fourteen days and it is therefore not surprising that within another ten or twelve days the next case will break out, either in your family or your neighbour’s.
The first symptoms of measles can vary, but might include a head cold, nose bleeding, bronchial catarrh and conjunctivitis (with [...]
In this context it is appropriate to take a closer look at the opposite method, the curbing of normal hormone production in the female body. Gynaecologists have observed that the inhibitory effect lasts only as long as the agent, for example the contraceptive pill, is taken. If a woman stops taking the ‘pill’, her body [...]
