Jaundice is much more dangerous than is generally assumed. People who have suffered from it confirm that once they have had it, they never feel the same again. They also notice that fried foods and sweet things no longer agree with them.

When treating a case of jaundice it is always important to take care of the bowels. If regular movement is lacking, herbal enemas should be given to open the bowels. The bile must be removed from the blood as quickly as possible, for the longer it remains in the system and the more concentrated it is, the greater the harm that will result.

Beware of modern proprietary medicines for the treatment of jaundice. They invariably only serve to mask and suppress the symptoms and serious complications can follow their use. It is much wiser to let the illness take its normal course and assist the body with natural remedies. Even so, the healing process takes time and cannot be unduly hurried. Most cases under the supervision of an allopathic doctor will take 6-8 weeks of treatment. But if you employ the recommended natural therapy with its various measures, a cure can be achieved in two weeks in some cases. However, it must not be considered complete until the follow-up treatment has been carried out conscientiously as well. If these measures are neglected, the patient may be left with some permanent damage.

Much is being written and talked about the modern principles of proper nutrition. Wholegrain products, brown rice, wheat germ, natural honey, buttermilk, soft white cheese (cottage cheese, quark) and vegetable oils high in polyunsaturated fatty acids are being recommended as nutritionally sound food, and rightly so.

But it is also interesting to note that in a family of five, all eating the same healthy natural food, not every member benefits to the same degree. One member of the family may be strong, healthy and in good physical shape, whereas another may be skinny and weak, and a third member could even be anaemic and pale. Only when one of them suffers from such a marked calcium deficiency that he experiences constant cramps and spasms and can only keep free from pain by taking antispasmodics does it begin to dawn on us that nutrition involves more than simply giving the body a certain quantity of good food with a high nutritive content. Nutrition also means making sure that the body can absorb this good food, thus enabling the cells to receive all the nutrients they need.

Psychological problems are not always easy to solve, but there are instances where the solution could be quite simple if only the right method of approach was first sought and then used. Every improvement in the body functions, even if it is perhaps only relief from constipation, can help or even lead to a cure. The use of physical therapy in its many forms can open up new avenues in the treatment of such patients.

As usual, diet plays an important part, for we know that pure, natural wholefoods keep a healthy person fit for daily work and help maintain general balance. Is it therefore not reasonable to expect that a proper nutritional therapy would be necessary and useful for the sick person too? Indeed, you should see to it that all denatured or refined foods are avoided. Make sure you eat only

food items that still contain their full nutritional value, that is, wholefoods, and that fruit and vegetables have not been contaminated by chemical sprays and fertilisers. This careful attention to diet, in conjunction with physical therapy and a healthy psychological influence, will provide real help for both body and mind, giving the patient the chance to recover.

It is also important that circulatory disorders are taken care of, by means of natural remedies such as Aesculaforce or Ginkgo biloba, and that the patient’s calcium level is raised by taking an easily assimilated calcium preparation such as Urticalcin.

Taking everything into account, this is still a simple method of treatment and will avert a ureter blockage with its serious consequences or even the need for an operation. It is clearly worthwhile, because the patient will recover astonishingly fast after the cure, whereas an operation can often have complications, requiring a great deal of after-care. However, should the size of the stone prevent its elimination through the natural, physical therapy outlined above, it is not too late to resort to an operation. I would add, however, that there is very rarely a need for this. In most cases it will be possible to effect a successful cure if the treatment is given with great care and thoroughness. Of course, stones can also be gradually dissolved by taking natural remedies. Rubiaforce, made from the madder root, is such a remedy, and one that has been tested and proven in practice. If taken over a longer period of time, Rubiaforce will dissolve even larger stones, especially if the patient also drinks a lot of goldenrod tea.

Even before we become conscious of our existence, before birth, the heart begins to beat and continues to do so day and night throughout our life. It performs its work unflaggingly until the body is worn out and we close our eyes in death. Are we really grateful to the heart for serving us so faithfully during our lifespan of maybe 60-90 years, without even stopping for one hour, or do we take the heart for granted and neglect to look after it?

Where could we ever find a machine that would work as efficiently as the heart? When we begin to study the structure of the myocardium we cannot help but be overwhelmed by this astounding example of divine Creation. Just look at the design of the muscle fibres. They are made up of fibrils, laid down in criss-cross layers, giving them marvellous elasticity. The cardiac wall consists of thousands of such fibres. Interwoven with this fibrous tissue we find a network of blood vessels providing nourishment and a network of nerves to register the stimuli. On reflection, we must admit that this living miracle in our body deserves more consideration than we are wont to give it. Is it not true that young people and athletes tend to treat the marvellous heart in their trust in an irresponsible and careless manner? Yet it is not only physical overexertion that can tax and damage it. Worries and anxieties also weaken and harm the heart. The sympathetic nervous system serves to stimulate the heart and the parasympathetic slows it down. Both of these impulse conductors work in a rhythmic fashion, which means that the heart beats either slower or faster according to demand. Between every beat the heart stands still for about one-sixth of a second, the only rest it ever indulges in. But this rest in no way compensates for the amount of work we expect it to do throughout our lifetime. The heart, with all its capabilities and untiring service, is truly a miracle.
