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.

Older people often raise the question of whether it is advisable to take biological calcium preparations, for example Urticalcin, or even to eat foods high in calcium, since it is known that in later years the potential danger of the hardening of the arteries and other body tissues is greater. It is an indisputable fact that during old age calcium is being withdrawn from the bones and deposited in vessels and tissues. This process causes the bones to become porous and fragile and the tissues, blood vessels and scar tissue to accumulate calcium deposits. At a quick glance, this argument would appear to favour a reduced intake of calcium. However, experience has proved that a diet low in calcium, surprisingly enough, can even promote osteoporosis, the loss of calcium from the bones.

How can this problem be solved? Calcium is a basic mineral that compounds easily with acids. If during the latter part of life the body accumulates certain acids, for example, oxalic and other acids, which should have been eliminated with the urine, the body compounds these with calcium to form calcium salts. When reduced to an unsaturated state in this way they are rendered less harmful. If we do not permit a deficiency to develop in the mineral metabolism, and we see to it that the calcium level remains normal, we can be sure that there will be no abnormal decalcification of the bones, even during old age. For this reason, too, there will be no calcium deposits in the blood vessels and tissues. This leads us to the question: what can be done to prevent premature aging?

If you try to be conscientious in living according to these seven rules, you will definitely increase your life span and help yourself to avoid many health problems in your advanced years. For example, hardening of the arteries will not incapacitate you, neither will coronary thrombosis, and you will have no need to fear a sudden end through a heart attack. It is simple to obey nature, and doing so will reward us in turn with good health and long life.

Women especially suffer from swollen veins, which often occur after surgery or just after childbirth. Generally, the blocking of venous blood vessels happens sometime between the third and the eighth day following surgery or delivery. In such cases a physician will usually give anticoagulant and vasodilator injections. However, more appropriate and helpful than this medical intervention is the following prophylactic treatment, which is to be recommended to all those who show a congenital or acquired tendency to embolism and thrombosis, and in particular to people with varicose veins.

First of all, take proper care of the bowels, because intestinal disorders such as insufficient bowel movement or the retention of a faecal matter causes the blood, and hence the whole body, to become affected by metabolic toxins. Going on a juice diet for one day a week usually helps to improve regularity. The question of diet or nutrition for the rest of the week is no less important; only natural, unadulterated, unrefined foods will contribute to the eventual correction of irregular bowel movements.

A narrowing or hardening of the arteries has serious, in time even incurable, consequences. The victim literally degenerates, both physically and mentally. To this day more people in the civilised, industrialised world, especially in Europe, the United States and Australia die of diseases of the arterial walls, and the number of deaths is on the increase. The length of our life is often determined solely by the condition of our arterial walls.

Hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis) begins with a small alteration, which looks like a flat sore or ulcer. This sore then develops into a growth of the connective tissue, followed by a deposit of calcium salts, with the result that the inside of the artery becomes gradually narrower and the blood has less space in which to circulate. The artery loses more and more of its elasticity, eventually becoming hard and brittle. The blood pressure then rises and the victim may eventually the brain or a cerebral haemorrhage. Dilation of the heart or haemorrhage of a blood vessel near the heart, as well as nephrosclerosis (nephritis due to a hardening of the kidney blood vessels ) may also occur.

Thus far we have spoken of only one function of the circulatory system, the supply. But, as in every manufacturing plant, we must also concern ourselves with the waste products the body produces. They must be promptly eliminated if congestions, in other words breakdowns, are to be avoided. The train on its way back to Basel may be compared to our venous system, which is responsible for returning all the waste products resulting from burning-up processes, for example carbon dioxide and uric acid. Some of these waste products are recycled by the liver or eliminated with the help of the kidneys. If this process of transportation becomes obstructed, problems will be inevitable, since the accumulation of waste causes tension and pressure. The train may be derailed and the mail scattered, lying undelivered on the rails. In terms of our body this means the formation of varicose veins.
