We should not eat much in the evening and should avoid heavy or indigestible food completely; neither should our last meal of the day be taken late if we wish to prevent the subconscious mind, with its reactions and reflexes, giving us excitable and restless dreams that rob us of valuable energy for no good reason at all. It is of equal importance to try and forget the day’s happenings, perhaps by listening to some soothing music before going to bed.

This finely tuned detail of anatomical construction becomes more obvious to us when we consider the ear. If the smallest detail in its structure is changed, the acoustic requirements, the reception of sound waves and the transmission to the auditory nerves, will be disturbed and our hearing impaired. Any deformation produces damage and problems. Of course, the same thing applies to our nose.

Apart from lemon, sauerkraut is the best anti-scorbutic remedy and it was sauerkraut that enabled the daring explorer James Cook to sail the farthest seas for years without any of his sailors falling victim to scurvy. Of course, in those days, such things as antiscorbutic vitamins were unknown, but through trial and error men like Cook, who observed and understood the ways of nature, eventually discovered the remedy for the insidious disease. Captain Cook always made sure that there were sufficient barrels of fermented cabbage on his ships. The supplement of sauerkraut with the sailors’ meals provided them with food and medicine at the same time, so that the devastating effects of scurvy were avoided and Cook could carry on with his explorations and discoveries.

The farmer knows that he cannot keep his animals in the stable all the time; they need exercise and a change of diet from time to time. We can take a lesson from this and make sure we get enough exercise and pay attention to our choice of food and its variation. Avoid all constipating food items and particularly chocolate and sweets. Likewise, we would do well to keep off cheese, eggs and egg dishes. Instead, eat plenty of carrots, raw sauerkraut, and bitter salads such as dandelion and chicory. Over a long period of time, it is beneficial to eat soaked prunes and walnuts for breakfast, together with a slice of wholegrain bread. Alternate this breakfast with muesli and ground linseed. During the berry season eat plenty of muesli with fresh berries added, instead of bread. As far as possible, avoid dough products made with bleached white flour and any other starchy foods. On the other hand, natural brown rice causes no complications when boiled so that the grains do not stick together. Potatoes, however, may turn out to be constipating.

It is also generally known that the kidneys can be rendered a great service and protected if the intake of salt is reduced to a minimum. Bacterial poisons, likewise, have a detrimental effect on them. That is why infectious diseases such as measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria, tonsillitis and others, always have an adverse effect. Permanent damage can be prevented if proper care is taken to cure these diseases fully, and by making sure that the kidneys function properly during and after an illness. This is best done by taking the excellent plant extract of Solidago, as contained in Nephrosolid, a remedy that should be kept in every home.

It goes without saying that an appropriate diet is essential for any healing process, if it is to be successful. If by now you have come to terms with the meaning of natural therapy, it should not be necessary to re-emphasise this fact. Cleansing the body from inside requires a diet that is low in salt and protein. Meat consumption should be reduced to a bare minimum, or better still, eliminated altogether until a complete recovery has been achieved. Pork, sausages and all other processed meats, eggs, cheese, white sugar and flour, as well as canned foods, should all be avoided. In their place eat plenty of natural wholefoods, including steamed vegetables, raw salads and wholegrain products.

The above recommendations are intended to help all those who suffer from leg ulcers. If you recognise and follow these important principles of natural therapy, your recovery and future well-being will be within your reach.
