No drugs cure high blood pressure.

All drugs against hypertension without exception, are toxic and have distressing side effects.
The safest way to cure hypertension is to remove the real cause. The natural way of dealing
with it is to eliminate the poisons from the system which cause it. Persons with high blood
pressure should always follow a well-balanced routine of proper diet, exercise and rest.
Diet is of primary importance. Meat and eggs cause the blood pressure to rise more
than any other food. The pressure is lowered and blood clotting diminished by partaking of a
higher fruit content, lower protein and non-flesh diet. A natural diet consisting of fresh fruits and
vegetables, instead of a traditional diet, is helpful in getting rid of the poisons from the body. A
hypertension patient should start the process of healing by living on an exclusive fruit-diet for
at least a week, and take fruits at five-hourly intervals thrice in the day. Oranges, apples, pears,
mangoes, guava, pineapples, raspberry, water-melon are the best diet in such cases. Bananas
and jack fruit should not be taken. Milk may be taken after a week of "fruits only"' diet. The milk
should be fresh and should be boiled only once. The patient can be permitted cereals in his
food after two weeks. Read More...

To avoid gout, avoid meat.


Gout was at one time considered the disease of the rich, when in the West only the rich ate
meat.
The gout patient should avoid all purine and uric acid producing foods such as all meats, eggs,
and fish. Glandular meats are especially harmful.
The one who has gout should also avoid all intoxicating liquors, tea, coffee, sugar, white flour
and its products and all canned and processed foods. Spices and salts should be used as little
as possible. Read More...

Low blood sugar is caused by too much sugar


Hypoglycaemia is a condition of low blood sugars. Ironically, it is aggravated by consuming too
much sugar.
Hypoglycaemia is usually caused by an excessive intake of refined carbohydrates and sugar
foods. These substances cause the pancreas, the adrenal gland and the liver to lose their
ability
to handle the sugar properly. Other causes of low blood sugar are a tumour, disturbed
functioning of the liver, pituitary gland or adrenal glands. Stress intensifies this condition as it
weakens the adrenal glands and starts a faulty pattern of glucose intolerance Read More...

Influenza is more than a viral infection.


Influenza, like all other acute diseases, is a natural attempt at self-cleansing and if rightly
treated in a natural way, immense good can ensue so far as the future health of the patient is
concerned. In the acute stage of influenza, a patient should abstain from all solid foods and
only
drink fruit and vegetable juices diluted with water, 50- 50 for first three to five days, depending
on the severity of the disease. The juice fast should be continued until the temperature comes
down to normal. The warm water enema should be taken daily during this period to cleanse the
bowels.
After fever subsides the patient may adopt an all-fruit diet for two or three days. In this regimen,
the patient should take three meals a day of fresh juicy fruits such as apples, pears, grapes,
oranges, pineapple, peaches and melons at five-hourly intervals. Bananas or dried, stewed or
tinned fruits however, should not be taken. No other food stuff should be added to the fruit
meals, otherwise the value of the treatment will be lost. This may be followed by a further two
or
three days on fruits and milk diet. Thereafter, the patient may adopt a well-balanced diet of
three
basic food groups namely, (i) seeds, nuts and grains, (ii) vegetables, and (iii) fruits.
Spices and condiments, and pickles, which make food more palatal and lead to overeating,
must be avoided. Lemon juice may be used in salad dressing. Alcohol, tobacco, strong tea and
coffee, highly seasoned meats, over-boiled milk, pulses, potato, rice, cheese, refined,
processed, stale, and tinned foods should all be avoided. Read More...

Indigestion may be caused by how you neat, not just what you eat.


The feelings of discomfort and distress in the abdomen are often caused by overeating, eating
too rapidly or not chewing properly. Overeating or eating frequently produces a feverish state in
the system and overtaxes the digestive organs. It produces excessive acid and causes the
gastric mucus membrane to become congested. Hyperacidity is usually the result.
Overeating makes the work of stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels harder. When this food
putrefies, its poisons are absorbed back into the blood and consequently, the whole system is
poisoned. Many people gulp their food due to stress or hurry. When food is swallowed in large
chunks, the stomach has to work harder and more hydrochloride is secreted.
Eating too fast also causes one to swallow air. These bad habits force some of the digestive
fluids into the oesophagus, causing burning, a stinging sensation or a sour taste, giving an
illusion of stomach acid. Read More...

Hydrocele, The Common But Little-Known Condition of Men's Mature Years


Hydrocele is the painful swelling of the testes. It can be painlessly relieved.
Tapping (removing fluid with a long needle) is the method usually resorted to for removal of
the fluid in hydrocele. This, however, does not remove the cause of the trouble but only its
effects. The correct way in which the condition can be really dealt with successfully is through
constitutional treatment. Such a
treatment should aim at removing the underlying toxicity of the system which is at the root of
the
trouble.
The sufferer from hydrocele should begin with an exclusive fresh fruit diet for seven to ten
days.
In this regimen, he should have three meals a day of fresh juicy fruits, such as apples, pears,
grapes, grape-fruit, oranges, pineapple, peaches, melon or any other juicy fruit in season but
no
bananas or dried, stewed or tinned fruit, and no other foodstuff whatever. For drinks, lemon
water unsweetened or water either hot or cold may be taken.
If constipation is habitual, all steps should be taken for its eradication. During this period the
bowels should be cleansed daily with a warm water enema. Read More...

Take heed of headaches. Headaches may be a symptom of hypertension.


High blood pressure can cause pounding headaches. The headache usually starts at the back
of
the head on getting up in the morning. A safe method of treatment for this is to immerse your
legs to calf-level in a tub of hot water for 15 to 20 minutes. This draws the blood away from the
head and down to the feet, relieving the headache.
Also helpful is the yogic practice known as pranayama. Stand erect with the feet aligned
straight and touching each other. Lock the fingers together with the hands beneath the chin
and keep them there through the entire exercise.
Slowly raise the arms as you inhale, filling your lungs with air. Feel the action of the breathing
through your throat. Then raise your arms above your head as you lean back and exhale, all
the while keeping the hands at your chin. When you completely exhale, feeling the movement
of the air through your throat, lower your arms and repeat the exercise 20 times. Read More...
