In accordance with effort and demand, cells use up nutrient materials during the day, which are replenished during the night. This is the normal rhythm of life. In the evening, when the cells have exhausted their supplies, we become tired. If we use up more energy than normal, the cells draw on their reserves. If the energy consumption is excessive over a period of time, we have to spend more than can be replaced during the night. The inevitable result of this mismanagement is a deficiency that gets progressively greater. The normal reserves diminish and are finally used up; the cells are now completely exhausted. We suffer from a kind of fatigue that is like a sickness, in time leading to a condition of painful tiredness. People who are constantly on the move, always doing something, can easily reach this state, and if nothing is done about it, or if it is stepped up by increasing the overexertion, this senseless condition can trigger a sudden reaction and suddenly snap, like a short circuit. This explains the cases of sudden death that may puzzle even the doctor.

If we put a hot-house or indoor plant outside in the blazing summer sun, it will probably die. Remembering that the sun throws out powerful radiation can save us from experiencing such a disappointment. The sun’s rays consist of different wavelengths, a bundle of rays that can be likened to a cable made up of many wires, each one with its own frequency. We should not forget that the ray complex of the sun puts a great strain on plants, animals and humans. The effect can be illustrated by considering the sun’s energy in terms of electric voltage. For example, if a power point has been set for 380 volts and we plug in an appliance that is adjusted for 220 volts, the difference in voltage will create heat and can burn out the appliance. Similarly, a destructive effect can result in unhealthy plants because, figuratively speaking, the higher voltage will damage the weak plant. Instead of charging or invigorating the plant, the sun’s energy will destroy it. Plants that are damaged, maggoty or infected with insect pests will live longer if they are not exposed to intense sunlight, better still if they are kept out of the sun altogether.

When cows have been inoculated against tuberculosis, on no account should their milk be drunk raw for at least four or five days. It would be best to discard such milk altogether, at least for human consumption. Unpleasant consequences from drinking this milk may be experienced, such as liver and digestive disorders, headaches and feverishness; those who live on a natural diet are especially affected. The strange thing is that the feverishness does not cause a loss of appetite and the affected person continues to eat normally. The problems can be counteracted with Echinaforce, Usnea and Urticalcin. It is advisable to stimulate elimination through the kidneys and liver, thus enabling the toxins to be disposed of. Be careful then, if you do not want to harm your health. The best thing you can do is not to drink this contaminated milk.

Dairy farmers who deliver milk from sick animals should think twice and consider the health of their fellowmen as more important than the small financial return they might gain. But it is unfortunately true that monetary advantages often take precedence over a farmer’s sense of responsibility.

Stone fruit is known to be more digestible when dried than if eaten fresh. But whether fresh or dried, it is essential that we observe a few basic rules in order to enjoy these tasty fruits without having any problems.

Stone fruit cannot be stored in the cellar, nor would it ripen there. It should always be picked when fully ripe, and should also be ripe when bought. Partially ripe stone fruit causes problems, and also tastes unpleasant. Thus, anyone who buys unripe stone fruit will subsequently be disappointed and feel cheated. You will never see unripe apricots, for example, miraculously ripen. You can wait as long as you like, but they will not become juicy and sweet; rather, to your great dismay, they will shrivel up pitifully. Cherries should be ripe and what is more important, unsprayed, otherwise they will be harmful. When we eat fully ripe and unsprayed cherries together with some wholewheat (wholemeal) bread, chewing everything well, they will not cause fermentation and will exert a good influence on the liver. Another thing, we should never drink water while eating cherries, or immediately afterwards. This rule applies to all stone fruit. Remember, too, that this kind of fruit is not to be simply swallowed before being properly chewed, as is usually done. Stone fruit, if well insalivated will not give any trouble, as long as it is ripe and unsprayed. In the case of dried fruit (see below), it is also important to ensure that it is unsulphurised.

It is true that nowadays it may not be easy to follow through this advice if you cannot obtain your fruit from the right sources. Our own gardens, which we tend ourselves, will provide us with all we need, as will also the produce of farmers who look after their trees in an absolutely natural way, who pick and sell nothing but fully ripe fruit.

It is best to avoid nutmeg, pepper and other hot spices and use safe and wholesome seasonings and herbs instead. Yeast extract, especially pure culture yeast extract, can be recommended since it is natural. Pure culture yeast extract contains the vitamin  complex and is about the best seasoning you can use. It is good as a sandwich spread or dissolved in warm water and added to soups and stews as a liquid seasoning. But it should never be boiled, in order to preserve its ingredients.

By now it should be self-evident to every reader that, as our daily bread nothing but crispbread, coarse-grained wholewheat (wholemeal) bread, in other words, bread made from flour of the whole grain, should be on our table.
