IMMUNE FOR LIFE INFORMATION FILE: YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM

Remember those kaleidoscopes we enjoyed looking into so much as children? Wasn’t it marvelous^ the infinite variety of patterns produced by simply turning one end of the tube? Well, kaleidoscopes contain but a few pieces of colored glass, but they manage to produce an incredible number of visual patterns. In some respects your immune system [...]

MELDING MIND AND BODY: STRESS SEEKERS

Stress seekers are hard-driving, volatile, success-oriented people. Eyes glued to their watch, they rush from appointment to appointment, task to task, eager to take on more responsibility. Not valuing their accomplishments for themselves, stress seekers constantly try to outdo themselves in order to make others respect and admire them. Stress seekers feel uncomfortable unless they’re [...]

FOODS FOR MMUNE: THE IDEA OF A GOOD BREAKFAST

My idea of a good breakfast is a whole-grain cereal, a glass of skim (nonfat) milk and a fresh fruit. Whole-grain cereal has generous amounts of complex carbohydrates, which give you a steady stream of energy throughout the morning. Skim milk is a good source of calcium, an important nutrient. You can drink it or [...]

SUPER FOODS FOR IMMUNE: OAT BRAN VERSUS CHOLESTEROL

Oat bran is one of my favorite Super-Food grains. I recommend it to all my patients who want to protect themselves against a heart attack. My own studies indicate that, in addition to lowering overall cholesterol levels, oat bran helps raise your HDL—high-density lipoprotein—the “good cholesterol” that helps keep your arteries clear. Practically every patient [...]

FOOD INTOLERANCE: FOOD ADDICTION

TELEVISION AND HEALTH – WHAT IS EXHAUSTION? (INTRODUCTION)

The human cell is a marvel made by the Intelligence that has shown endless ingenuity in technical design, forever presenting scientific researchers with surprises. The breakdown and conversion of nutrients produces wastes, in the same way as wastes are formed in the process of combustion or oxidation. We are talking about the so-called ‘metabolic waste [...]

MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS – CLIMATIC INFLUENCES

Today, many unnatural influences undermine our health and we often lack enough strength and energy to put up with the vicissitudes of the climate. To be exact, many of us are much more sensitive than were earlier generations. This should not surprise us if we look at our modern circumstances, yet it is more difficult [...]

MILK AND DAIRY FARMING – A RECOMMENDED PROTEIN FOOD

If we meet our requirement of protein with meat, including processed and cold meats, the body will respond by producing more metabolic wastes, but this will not happen if we concentrate on milk as a source of protein. Most people can take and assimilate milk protein quite easily, which is why milk products are excellent [...]

BERRIES – THE PROPERTIES OF SOUR BERRIES; BERRY JUICES

Anyone who avoids eating sour berries for fear of ingesting too much acid is mistaken, because not everything that tastes sour is also chemically sour. Even in very sour-tasting berries the alkaline substances predominate. The only berry with an excess of acid is the cranberry. All the others can help to neutralise excess acidity, even [...]

QUESTIONS OF NUTRITION – EGGS (CUNCLUSION)

Eggs do, however, have the disadvantage of causing the formation of uric acid. This gives rise to the release of sulphuric acid, which can be noticed on the breath after one has eaten boiled eggs. For this reason, people with arthritis, rheumatism or cancer should abstain from eggs in all forms. Yet again this example [...]
