Неврозы – Neuroses

In cases of varicose veins, the regular taking of Ginkgo drops will counteract the formation of blood clots (thrombosis). Everyone who is reasonably sensible and natural in his approach to nutrition and life-style will be able to achieve a veritable regeneration and rejuvenation when taking a course of these drops.

I have received many encouraging letters from patients who have found Ginkgo biloba to be an excellent remedy for a variety of complaints. In February 1986, one lady wrote:

‘I have been taking this remedy since October 1985. For years I kept getting a pain behind my left eye and when out walking I would involuntarily swerve to the left, often bumping into people. I even feared I had a brain tumour, but neither the eye specialist nor X-rays discovered anything like that. Tests of the throat, nose, ears and sinus were all negative. One doctor said that vascular and circulatory problems were to blame and prescribed Ginkgo biloba, «the best remedy there is,» he added. And that reminded me of your article in Gesundheits-Nachrichten (Health News), where you recommended Ginkgo biloba for the same complaints.’

The importance and effectiveness of combining different substances is illustrated in the case of vitamins. For example, an easily assimilated calcium preparation is not necessarily absorbed into the system if there is a deficiency of vitamin D, or if the two are not taken together. The body cannot absorb the calcium if there is a lack of vitamin D and, conversely, the vitamin D will not benefit the body if there is a lack of calcium. One complements the other.

In the body we find a similar interdependence of functions. Hydrochloric acid and the digestive enzyme pepsin work in close association with each other in the stomach. Pepsin can break down the food proteins only if the gastric environment is kept acid through the presence of hydrochloric acid in the right concentration; otherwise pepsin is completely ineffective. There are many associations like these, and if we are to produce medicines that fulfil their intended purpose, we must find out more about them.

Beauty culture is almost as old as the human race. The desire to look attractive and to improve one’s looks is somehow inborn and it is especially women who take full advantage of the possibilities. However, although cosmetics can be beneficial to the skin and its functions they can also be detrimental, as, for example, are all creams and other preparations that block the pores and impair or stop the exudation of sweat, thus making the skin flaccid and tired looking. Frequent powdering also has the same effect. This explains why some women with tired skin certainly do not look their best without their make-up and can give you quite a shock if you see them first thing in the morning. Without make-up a forty-year-old woman who has been accustomed to applying non-biological cosmetics for many years may look like a seventy-year-old grandmother.

Perhaps this is an odd, not quite scientific, way to illustrate the problem we have with a virus, but it helped me to understand the researcher’s point of view.

We have only one option in order to fight pathogenic agents, in this case viruses, for which there is no known antidote or remedy, and that is to support the body in defending itself, by helping to mobilise its defence forces, or mechanisms. Thus, if we want to take up the fight against viruses and win it, we must do all we can to back up the body’s own regenerative power. The virologist in the Swiss hospital agreed with me. This is the only correct way to treat viral diseases.

I am fully convinced that many causes work together and put such great stress on the healthy cells that they have to give in; the harmony of their natural life and function becomes so disrupted that they degenerate and become malignant.

Predisposition is often responsible for cell degeneration, that is, it may be due to the inherited genetic make-up. However, such a predisposition need not lead to cancer if one’s life-style is sensible.

An inadequate diet, a constant companion of our modern way of living and eating, upsets the body’s biological balance and so damages the entire cellular system.

Too much protein intake, and of a poor quality, plays a considerable part.

Fats have a bearing on the development of cancer. Animal fats and fats lacking in unsaturated fatty acids are especially detrimental.

Disturbances in the mineral metabolism caused by the consumption of refined foods have proved to be a contributory cause of cell degeneration.
