There is now another method of treatment available which was unknown in those earlier days. I am glad to say that it also helps considerably towards achieving a successful result. It is a fresh

hormone treatment. As with the treatment of poliomyelitis, it is necessary to obtain the fresh testicles of a healthy young bull. Take off the skin and chop up the tender inside with a sharp knife or put it in the food processor. Then apply the mixture to the whole extension of the spine, from the nape of the neck to the coccyx, massaging it in vigorously. This massage treatment should be given once a week in two stages, in the evening and early the following morning. The portion to be used in the morning will need to be kept in a cool place during the night.

It is very sad that the results of many years’ efforts are being relinquished due to a change in circumstances. Malaria, typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, elephantiasis, amoebic dysentery and dysentery are, unfortunately, once again on the increase and the danger of infection in many tropical areas can be expected to continue to grow before it falls. The white colonial powers were responsible for many wrongs, but as regards hygiene and the control of epidemics they also did a lot of good. Human weakness is often responsible for ‘throwing out the baby with the bath water’, particularly where childish naivety or the blindness of nationalism predominates.

It is indeed regrettable that all the good progress achieved in the course of many years of effort and work should come to nothing. It is a step backwards when tourists are exposed to greater dangers and risks of infection. So if your health is not exceptionally good and your powers of resistance are limited, or if you are very sensitive, think twice for the present before you decide to go on a safari or other holiday in tropical countries. Despite all kinds of vaccinations, you will not be immune to all tropical diseases.

Whenever we are hungry or fancy a particular food, this natural reaction stimulates the secretion of gastric juice. If, however, we eat without appetite, forcing ourselves to consume whatever is set before us, we will have poor digestion, which in turn can lead to other disorders. It is therefore important to ensure that we always have a healthy natural appetite. This is possible, not by working non-stop, but by taking sufficient exercise and by deep-breathing in the fresh air. So, if you work fairly near to your home, walk there instead of using transport. You can also whet your appetite by taking bitter herbs such as centaury, or artichoke tincture.

Our emotional and mental state may either stimulate or suppress the appetite through its influence on the secretion of gastric juice. So, if you easily give in to anger or annoyance, do not be surprised if this makes you go off your food. It should now be clear that happy people, who are always in a good mood, digest their food much better than those who are very serious, or worried and upset. Nor is the process of digestion helped by sitting down at the table when plagued by problems, or when the situation is aggravated by an animated discussion about them. If you are not hungry because of being too tired, it is wise to rest a little and unwind before eating. The manner in which the food is prepared and the dishes arranged on the table tends to make the meal more or less desirable.

A kidney remedy, such as Nephrosolid, and kidney tea should be taken to stimulate the kidneys. Additionally it is recommended to drink more liquids than you are accustomed to, preferably natural fruit juices, for example bilberry or blueberry juice, blackberry juice and grapefruit juice. If you wish you may dilute these juices with mineral water, either the still kind or one with only slight natural fizziness.

However, it is useful here to summarise the most important ones with a general application.

We have learned from experience that the most effective natural remedy for eczema, including cradle cap, is Violaforce, an extract from the wild pansy. Urticalcin should always be given too. This biological calcium preparation helps to heal the lesions when used as a powder. Molkosan and Echinaforce have the same effect and should definitely be incorporated in the treatment, not only externally but also internally. Eczema is generally associated with defective sebaceous glands and it is necessary to supply the skin with sufficient oil. St John’s wort oil or Bioforce Cream, a lanolin cream, will accomplish this purpose very well.

When winter arrives it brings with it the chance to partake in a whole range of snowsports, increasingly referred to as ‘pleasure sports’. Some of these, however, may present a danger to the heart, because not everyone is sensible enough to choose a sport that has a beneficial effect on the health; instead, they become enslaved, body and soul, to movement and speed. Yet everything in nature is based on a wholesome rhythm of movement followed by rest. We were not created with wings, so we were not intended to dart through the air like birds. Our heart was designed to be close to the earth and we should observe its human, earthly potential.

There is a great difference between the pleasure of movement and the slavish pursuit of a competitive sport. Some light exercise after an occupation that demands a lot of sitting down is beneficial, indeed essential. But if you force yourself beyond your endurance and strength, you must not be surprised if your heart muscles become dilated because they have lost their elasticity. Yet it is still possible to do something about such a condition and, to a certain extent, regeneration can be achieved, although it is much better to take note of the old proverb, ‘Prevention is better than cure.’
