Chapter One

The Power
of Wise Living

Warm greetings to you dear reader. It is my sincere prayer

that this book will prove to be a great blessing to you and
to yours.
As the founder and former owner of the Nature’s Choice
Health Food Company, it has been my special privilege to
have played a part in helping millions of people to improve
their vitality. Thanks to the thrilling feedback that we
received from our customers, from those who read my
books, and from those who attended our health seminars,
I am fully persuaded that . . .
There is miraculous
healing and protective power
in wise living.
To prove the point, I will tell you a little more about our
health seminars:
For more than ten years my associates and I conducted
these seminars throughout our country. The average
seminar usually spanned a period of seven to ten days.
During this time, delegates lived on campus (we hired
school dormitories during school vacations), their meals
were specially prepared by my good wife and her team
and, as far as time permitted in-between lectures, we all
followed the principles that are outlined in this book.

3
 4
The number of delegates who attended these seminars
usually ranged from 40 to 150 people per seminar. These
were people from all walks of life and from all professions,
including teachers, nurses and even a few medical
practitioners.
Time and again delegates recovered from long-standing
ailments while still at the seminar. Some who could not
walk much more than a few steps on the first day of the
seminar were walking briskly for three to five kilometers
per day within but a few days. Many hypertension
sufferers found that their blood pressure had normalized
by the end of the seminar. Skin ailments cleared up and
many even reported that their hair was far more
manageable. Several people who had suffered with
headaches for years, and who had relied heavily on pain
killers, were astounded when their headaches
disappeared.
What is most amazing about these results is that they
came about only because delegates were following a
healthier lifestyle and because they were enjoying a more
natural and a more nourishing diet. Besides a herbal
laxative and/or bowel flush for the first few days, and
daily steam baths or saunas at the seminars conducted
in the earlier years, no specific medication or medical
therapy was prescribed (we did however ensure that long-
standing prescriptions were strictly adhered to).
After the seminars, those who adopted the program as a
way of life started recovering from many of the more deep-
seated ailments, and here we are speaking about ailments
that range from gout to heart problems, from depression
to constant colds, from migraine to low blood sugar,
etcetera.
4
 5
Even those who were healthy prior to the seminar, and
who followed the program thereafter, soon achieved a
level of vitality that they had never experienced before.
For those who adopted the “Wise Living Guidelines” as a
way of life, one of the most remarkable outcomes lies in
the fact that they all seemed to have an improved
resistance to colds and flu. Thanks to my strict and
ongoing adherence to these principles, I have been free of
colds and flu for more than twenty-five years.
These facts only go to prove that:
Wise living really does boost
the immune system

But What Is The Immune System?

The Wikipedia defines the immune system as follows:
[The immune system] is a host defense system
comprising many biological structures and
processes within an organism that protects
against disease. (Wikipedia)
What an encouraging thought: God has equipped our
bodies with “many biological structures and processes”
that protect us against disease. The problem we face,
however, is that far too many of us are but vaguely aware
of this marvelous, natural “defense system,” and, at a
guess, most of us have little clue as to what we can do to
care for it and ensure that it functions normally.
After all, how many of us drink enough water each day?
How many of us are EMF aware? How many of us fulfil
our need of regular sunlight exposure? How many of us
exercise regularly? How many of us eat and drink with
wisdom? Etcetera.

5
 6
Yet, by neglecting these most basic needs of life, we
undermine our vitality, and we lay out the red carpet for
a condition that is known as immunodeficiency.
But What Is Immunodeficiency?
Immunodeficiency occurs when the immune
system is less active than NORMAL, resulting in
recurring and life-threatening infections.
(Wikipedia)
As a general rule, therefore, life-threatening infections do
not just overwhelm us. They come upon us when our
“immune system is less active than normal” - and, to be
sure, the main reason why the immune system becomes
less active than normal is because we do not care for our
bodies as we should.
While the medical experts of the world have excelled at
enlightening us about face masks, sanitizer and social
distancing, etcetera, the life-saving truth that is going to
turn the tide in this fearful Covid-19 battle is as profound
as it is simple:
Wise living boosts the immune system
and protects us against infection.
For good measure, let us express this another way:

Face masks, sanitizers, and social distancing,

etcetera, will help us to avoid many viruses, but . . .

Wise living and a healthy immune system

will neutralize the viruses we could not avoid,
and these are the viruses that take us down.

The Science of Wise Living, therefore, is our last and

best defense against any infection.

Chapter Two

The Science
of Wise Living

With that short introduction behind us, let us now turn

our attention to the Wise-Living Guidelines. These
guidelines (see overleaf) will help to boost our vitality and
our immunity and could ultimately save our lives.
All in all, we will be looking at more than 30 guidelines,
most of which are supported by a supplementary note. In
most part, this is but a list of better choices – a
substitution plan, if you wish. It simply suggests better
alternatives to those foods and practices that are known
to burden the human system.
Please do not try and follow all the guidelines from day
one, or even from month one, as this could discourage
you. I suggest the following:
STEP 1: Read through the first page of the list and, for
now, ignore the rest of the list.
STEP 2: In the rightmost column, tick the guidelines on
the first page of the list that you are already following.
STEP 3: Start improving your lifestyle by addressing the
unticked items on the first page of the list.
STEP 4: When you are comfortable with the progress
you have made with page one of the list, only then
proceed to page two of the list and follow the same
procedure – one page at a time. Do not push yourself
beyond your comfort levels.
7
 8
To repeat: At no time should you punish yourself by
pushing yourself beyond your comfort levels. This is a
wise-living program – it is not a straight-jacket.
Even if you only follow five guidelines, they will help to
normalize your vitality and your immune system and
might even save your life. If you manage to follow ten
guidelines, all the better, for, by so doing you will most
certainly improve your odds for survival.
If your work situation does not allow you to follow an
“outdoor” activity, try and fit it into your lunch break.

Important
1) Please take careful note that the information in
this book does not replace or annul any medical
advice or lockdown regulations that may apply in
your area. This information must be considered as
complimentary to any such advice or regulation, it
does not do away with the need for social
distancing, face masks and sanitizer, etcetera.
2) Please read the Cautions & Suggestions on page
61 and the Disclaimer on page 63 before
embarking on this program.
3) If you are troubled by insomnia, see Note 28.

Wise Living Guidelines 

Self-Evaluation
Those who are most inclined to care for See
themselves are those who place a right value on Note 1
themselves. Just in case you are not valuing on
yourself as you should, I would like to remind p.15
you that you are a miracle of the highest order.
Bowel Flush
If you suspect that your system could be toxic,
or that your bowels are sluggish, take a herbal
laxative (Senna), or a cup of Black Forest Tea
each evening for three successive evenings. Do
not overuse laxatives.
Water Intake See
Drink a minimum of 2 large glasses of water at Note 2
least 30 minutes prior to breakfast and lunch on
every day. Avoid taking liquids with meals. p.18

Exercise
As a daily practice, take a short brisk walk after See
Note 3
every meal. Then take a vigorous thirty-minute on
walk after work, or at some other time that is p.18
not too close to a mealtime.
Massage
If you are unable to exercise, and a suitably See
Note 4
qualified therapist is available, consider on
undergoing lymph drainage massage as p.19
suggested by your therapist.
Ventilation
Always ensure there is a gentle movement of air See
Note 5
through your living and sleeping quarters. Do on
deep breathing exercises regularly. Burglar bars p.20
and fly screens are a great investment.
9
 12

Sugar
Instead of using refined (white or brown) table
sugar, sweeten drinks with natural honey, See
fructose, xylitol or stevia. Sweeten porridges Note 6
etcetera with fructose, or sweet molasses, or on
honey to taste or, wherever practical, use dried p.20
fruit (raisins, sultanas or chopped dates and/or
banana).
Soft Drinks
Instead of using sugar-laden soft drinks and
energy drinks, let water serve as your primary See
thirst quencher. If this practice deprives you of Note 7
taste satisfaction, enjoy your favorite sugar-free on
sweet after your water. Yes, this idea sounds p.22
strange, but it could be the most important
suggestion in this program.
Sunlight
Weather permitting, take a 30-minute sunbath
at least every second day. Lie on your stomach See
Note 8
for 15 minutes and then on your back for 15 on
minutes. Always expose as much of your skin to p.23
the sun as decency permits. Remember,
sunlight converts cholesterol into Vitamin D.
EMF Exposure
It is now a well-known fact the electromagnetic See
Note 9
Fields (EMF’s) undermine the immune system. on
Here are several important guidelines to help p.25
you to limit your exposure to EMF’s.
Bowel Management
Work at achieving at least one natural bowel See
Note 10
movement every day. This is more important on
than most people realize. See the note for more p.27
details.

10
 13

Wise Eating
Become whole food aware and make every effort See
Note 11
to find a health food retailer who carries a wide on
range of healthy, sugar-free whole foods and p.28
natural food products.
Food Preparation
When we boil vegetables, we leave a wealth of
valuable nutrients in the water? Rather steam
your vegetables - vegetable steamers are
inexpensive. Or you may oven-roast your
vegetables in a flat covered glass dish with a
little cream and salt. Do not fry or stir-fry
anything.
Wise Dieting
Dieting can be a great cause of stress, and even See
Note 12
of sickness. The Eat-As-Much-As-You-Like Diet on
is logical, simple, safe, and stress free – and it p.29
really works wonders.
Fried Foods See
Instead of using fried foods, bake, grill, or boil Note 13
your food. Do anything but fry your food - on
especially if the oil is hydrogenated. p.34

The Healing Crisis

When you improve your lifestyle and diet, your
body will find the energy and the ability to See
Note 14
perform vital housekeeping tasks. This is known on
as a “Healing Crisis.” Please familiarize yourself p.35
with this natural process before continuing with
this program.
Health Awareness
Because our health is our greatest asset, we all See
Note 15
need to educate ourselves in matters of natural on
health and healing. A few foundational concepts p.35
are included in the note.
11
 14

The Power of Touch See

Touch is a wonderful healer and pacifier. Read Note 16
this most amazing true story and marvel at the on
healing power of touch. p.39

Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s)

Be sure to maintain your essential fatty acid See
Note 17
(EFA) status. To do this, eat at least 7 walnut on
halves a day or take a natural supplement. p.40
Stress is a common symptom of EFA deficiency.
Hydrogenated Fats See
Instead of using margarine and common Note 18
cooking oils, search out and use the non- on
hydrogenated alternatives. p.42

Bathing
Bath or shower at least once a day. If you are ill See
and circumstances permit, try bathing twice a Note 19
day until you are fully recovered. Rub your skin on
vigorously with a loofah, or a rough face cloth, p.44
prior to every bath or shower.
Stimulants See
Avoid all stimulants (tea, coffee, chocolate, Note 20
curry, adrenalin sports, stimulating movies and on
stimulating reading). p.44

Stress Management
Stress has become so much a part of life that we See
Note 21
might even find ourselves worrying about why on
we are not stressed. But there is much that we p.45
can do to reduce our stress levels.
Alcohol & Tobacco
Avoid alcohol & tobacco. They not only hurt you See
Note 22
physically, mentally, and physically, they also on
hurt your self-image and the relationships that p.46
matter most to you in life.

12
 15

Spiritual Health
Covid-19 has overturned the world and has See
brought us all face to face with the stark realities Note 23
of life. With death’s finger reaching out to every on
doorbell, this is a good time to think about our p.46
beginnings – and about what we are.
Spreads
Instead of using butter or margarine on bread,
use mashed avocado, or whipped cream, or a
nut-butter that is free of hydrogenated fats.
Flesh Foods
Throughout the world, more and more people
are turning to a vegetarian or a vegan diet – and
this for various reasons. If you are still using
See
flesh foods, you should start getting accustomed
Note 24
to using "flesh-free" meals every so often. More on
and more people are adopting the “Meatless p.51
Monday” routine as a starting point. Flesh foods
are not necessary for a balanced diet. Please give
a kindly thought for our animal friends.
Microwave Ovens See
Do not use a microwave oven for anything other Note 25
than warming your plates and, even then, leave on
the room while the microwave is in operation. p.52

Silver/Mercury Dental Fillings

Mercury is the second most toxic substance on See
Note 26
the planet – it has no place in our teeth. Take on
appropriate action if you have silver/mercury p.53
dental fillings in your mouth.
Food Preservatives Etcetera
Avoid foods containing preservatives and See
Note 27
chemical additives. While preservatives do limit on
bacterial action in your food, they also destroy p.54
the friendly bacteria in your digestive tract.
13
 16

Insomnia
For those who are struggling with sleep See
Note 28
problems, here are a few discoveries that have on
helped me tremendously over the years. At the p.54
age of 74, I finally sleep like a baby. You can too.
Homogenized Milk
Homogenization is a process whereby the fat
particulate in milk is reduced to a fraction of its See
Note 29
size. This process extends shelf life and on
improves mouth feel, but it wreaks havoc on our p.56
health. For more info on Homogenized Milk, see
the Quick Finder Index at www.keepwell.com.
Jams & Preserves
Avoid sugary jams and preserves, the sugar
concentration in these products is far too high.
Use honey, St Dalfour jams, or natural
alternatives (sparingly) instead.
Better Chips & Potatoes
Instead of using fried chips or fried potatoes,
par-boil cut chips/potatoes, rub them out with
a little cream or olive oil. Place in a flat pan.
Oven-bake at 180°C until golden brown.
Delicious.
Two Meal a Day Plan
If you are not involved in heavy manual work,
you should derive great benefit from a two-meal
a day plan. Those who are ill should try this –
the results are usually very gratifying. On a
three meal a day plan, we should always have a
very light meal at night. Those who suffer from
insomnia will often find great improvement in
their sleeping patterns if they take their main
meal at lunch time and only a salad or fruit
and/or a light snack at night.

Supplementary Notes
Note 1: Self Evaluation
Let us take a journey back in time, to the beginning of your
own journey through life – that journey which began in your
mother’s womb . . .
Just four weeks after you were conceived, your brain was
recognizable, your heart and intestinal tract were being
formed, your arms and legs were already visible as stumps,
and your kidneys were already well developed – that is, after
just 28 days.
By week five you were less than one centimeter long, your head
was half the length of your body and believe it or not, your
heart had begun to pump.
By week six, nerve connections were linking up at the rate of
250,000 connections per minute – that is, no less than 360
MILLION new nerve connections per day.
At this time your eyes and ears were already well formed, your
mouth had taken shape, and your skeleton had begun to form.
By week seven your stomach was secreting digestive acid and
your fingers and toes were well differentiated.
In less than two months, you had been transformed from a
single cell into a fully functional human being?
How could this remarkable transition take place in just 60
days? What does this tell us about that original cell? What does
this tell us about the Designer of the human cell? Was it a
“simple” cell, as some are inclined to think of it? In truth, there
simply is no such thing as a simple human cell!
Today that original cell (called “you”) has replicated (sub-
divided) itself into over 100 trillion cells. That’s right, today you
are made up of over . . .
100,000,000,000,000 cells.
15
 16
By some process unknown to science, certain of these cells
were destined to become immune cells, others to become brain
cells, others to become blood, lymph, tissue or nerve cells,
others again combined to form the various organs of the body,
each organ to serve its unique function in the various systems
of the body.
These systems, in turn, are so interdependent that it is
impossible for any system or group of systems to function
without the others. Imagine the brain functioning without
oxygen provided by the lungs. Imagine the muscles contracting
without energy made available from food absorbed by the
digestive tract. Imagine the transportation of energy to all the
muscle cells without blood plasma and the circulatory system.
Ultimately, however, all of these systems work to provide for
the needs of the body cells out of which they had their
beginnings and from which they are composed. For example,
the respiratory tract enables the body to obtain oxygen needed
by all the cells. The digestive system provides the amino acids,
glucose, and other raw materials needed by all the cells. And
the kidneys, lungs, bowels and skin all work tirelessly to
excrete the waste products produced by the cells during the
process of energy production.
Residing in the nucleus of each of your cells is what is known
as DNA. This is the code of your life – the genetic information
that drives every step along the pathway from fertilized egg to
adult. DNA carries the record of your anatomical and
physiologic makeup, and the manual of all body structures and
functions – including the code of everything you inherited from
your parents.
In one single cell there are some 6 BILLION “steps” of DNA. In
computer jargon we might say that the DNA in one microscopic
cell contains some 6 billion bytes (“digits”) of intelligent
information. That is . . .
6,000,000,000 bytes of information per cell

16
 17
“The amount of information that could be stored in a pinhead’s
volume of DNA is staggering. It is the equivalent information
content of a pile of paperback books 500 times as tall as the
distance from Earth to the moon, each with a different, yet
specific content.” (Royal Truman, www.trueorigin.org)
“The instructions in one DNA molecule, if spelled out in words,
would fill several sets of encyclopedias. Despite this enormous
amount of information, the physical amount of DNA is small.
Some estimate that the DNA of all the people who are alive
today could fit into a teaspoon.” (Dr. William Dysinger,
Heaven’s Lifestyle Today, p.16)
Remarkably, the DNA in one cell is a mirror copy of the DNA in
every other cell in your body – yet you are absolutely unique in
that your DNA is unlike the DNA of any other person on our
planet.
What else can we conclude from these facts but that you carry
around in your body a mind-boggling mega-load of information
– a mega-load that is equivalent to ONE HUNDRED TRILLION
computer hard drives, each of which is stored to capacity
with 6 billion bytes of intricately “pre-programmed”
information?
100 trillion x 6 billion = ?????
That is the sum total of all the information that it takes to run
your marvelous, incredible, amazing, fantastic, miraculous life
– and this is not just mumbo-jumbo type of information, but
extremely complex information that is constantly drawn upon
in a perfectly coordinated and impeccably organized fashion in
order to meet the uncompromising needs of the body.
Whichever way we look at it, there is no getting away from the
obvious – you are a masterpiece of creation – infinitely
complex, awesomely intricate, bewildering in design, wonderful
beyond words – a miracle of the very first order.
This being the case, do we not owe it to ourselves to study this
miracle, and to make every effort to meet the needs of this
miracle?
17
 18
Should our first priority in life not be to saturate our minds
with knowledge that will help us to preserve this miracle, and
to keep it healthy, that we might enjoy the true wonders of
being truly alive?

Note 2: Water Intake

Water is a miracle cleanser, it penetrates where nothing else
will penetrate, it absorbs whatever is absorbable and, because
it is free-flowing, it carries away whatever it has absorbed.
Water, therefore, is just what the body needs to maintain inner
cleanliness. It is a natural energy booster, it serves a multitude
of important functions in the life processes, and it is a vital aid
to the cleansing mechanisms of the body. To improve your
energy levels, to support your body's efforts to maintain
wellness, to ensure that you always feel your very best, make
it a daily goal to drink sufficient water. As the following
statement confirms, we should always avoid taking liquids
together with our meals:
“Water [or any liquid] taken with meals cuts down on the
production of saliva and discourages chewing, making the
length of time food spends in the mouth much shorter.
Digestion is thereby hindered. Also, since digestive enzymes
both in the mouth and in the stomach and intestines are
diluted by beverages taken with meals, digestion is further
delayed. [Because of the liquid present,] the stomach must
make more acid to maintain a proper pH. All these factors add
to the likelihood of fermentation in the digestive tract, gas
formation, and various types of discomfort and poor
functioning of digestion and elimination.” (Dr. Agatha Thrash,
Nutrition For Vegetarians, p.88)

Note 3: Exercise
Exercise is a must for natural bowel function, to aid
elimination, to help drain the lymph system, and to condition
and tone every cell and organ in the body, and so much more.

18
 19
“Exercise greatly improves blood [and lymph] circulation. This
in turn improves the delivery of oxygen to every cell in the body
[energy in] as well as the removal of poisonous compounds
from those cells [waste out]. This will improve membrane
transfer of nutrients and waste, which allows for better
mobilization and implementation of all defensive protective
mechanisms.” (Dr. Robert E. Willner, M.D., Ph.D., Deadly
Deception, p.108)

Note 4: Massage
“Your body’s lymph system is a kind of metabolic rubbish
dump. It helps [the body] rid itself of dead cells, toxins,
metabolic wastes, pathogenic bacteria, foreign substances and
assorted junk the cells cast off. Unlike the circulatory system
in which the circulation of blood is controlled by the pumping
of the heart, the lymphatic system has no such pump. The
plasma that has seeped through capillary walls gathers in the
tissues and then slowly enters the lymphatic channels – tiny
vessels with one-way valves in them for carrying lymph, along
with whatever small bits of foreign matter, wastes and bacteria
it has gathered – through the lymph nodes and eventually back
to the bloodstream. It is the normal contractions and
relaxations of muscles [hence our need of exercise] and the
force of gravity on the body which act to pump the lymph back
through its channels and eliminate these wastes.” (Lesley &
Susannah Kenton, Raw Energy, P.106)
In this light we can appreciate the value of regular exercise, as
well as the value of any form of massage that encourages lymph
drainage. By the same token, we will understand why it is that
inactive people usually do not feel too well and why they might
be more prone to illness.
During times of illness we usually do not feel too energetic and
exercise is often physically impossible. At such times lymph
drainage (massage) and skin brushing are especially
recommended.

19
 20

Note 5: Ventilation
Human beings are taking many of life's essentials for granted,
and none more so than fresh, clean air - and especially at night
when fresh air is most needed. The result is a never-ending
round of sickness and debility. When we consider that the
human body can usually go without food for more than a
month, without water for more than a week, but without air for
only a few minutes, we get a better idea of the importance of
fresh clean air 24 hours a day. Every activity and every
function of the body requires energy. This energy is produced
in our body by burning the "fuel" present in living cells. This
fuel comes from the food we eat; the "flame" that consumes the
fuel is oxygen. Thus we see how every movement and every
thought is dependent to some degree on the quality of the air
that we breathe throughout the day and night.
“Night time is repairing time. Lack of fresh air during sleeping
hours is a crime against one's own body. A closed room free
from draughts is a lethal chamber in which millions of children
pay the penalty for the foolish fears of parents against "night
air". Air at nights is much purer than during the day; the
moisture frees it from dust and its accompanying impurities.”
(George Teasdale, Nature Heals!, p.53)

Note 6: Sugar
Having seen the health of so many people improve dramatically
when they stopped using sugar and hydrogenated fat (see Note
18), we cannot place too much emphasis on this guideline.
Some years ago researchers carried out a series of studies that
examined how sugar consumption weakens the ability of white
blood cells to destroy bacteria (germs). The results of this study
showed that if a person eats no sugar for 12 hours, each white
blood cell could destroy an average of 14 bacteria. When 24
teaspoons of sugar were consumed (the amount in a medium
piece of cheesecake or a milk shake), the white blood cells were
so compromised that they could only destroy an average of one
bacterium each.

Is it any wonder that enlightened researchers are saying what

they are saying about the dangers of refined white sugar - and
of this denatured product's ability to compromise the immune
system?
"If only a fraction of what is already known about the effects of
sugar were to be revealed in relation to any other food additive,
this material would promptly be banned." (Dr J. Yudkin.,
Sweet and Dangerous, p.5)
"White sugar is the curse of the civilized world." (Dr. Michael
Sharon, Complete Nutrition, p.29)
According to Dr Boris Chaitow, founder of the High Rustenburg
Hydro, “[refined] sugar by its very nature and its function in
the system, constitutes one of the most damaging of the so-
called foods modern society imposes on itself. It is highly
concentrated, taken out of its context, and above all inflicts on
the poor pancreas a burden which is eventually responsible for
two of society's serious physical stresses, namely diabetes and
hypoglycemia.” (Dr. Boris Chaitow, My Healing Secrets, p.67)
21
 22
"Refined sugar, divorced from its associates, is one of the
tragedies of our civilized diet. This is the result of scientific
tampering with one of Nature's products. Sugar is mineral
hungry - it robs the system of its vital organic salts, thereby
causing, or laying the foundation for, many serious and
distressing diseases. Reliable tests show that the
discontinuance of the use of sugar reduces the frequency of
adenoiditis and tonsillitis amongst children almost one
hundred percent. Honey [raw or natural] is an excellent
substitute; in fact, it is the natural sweet. Refined sugar [white
and brown] is unnatural; it is artificial and wholly harmful in
whatever way it is taken. Honey supplies heat and energy; its
use should be encouraged to satisfy a natural desire for sweet
things. Fruits and vegetables contain all the sugar, in its very
best form, that the system requires." (George Teasdale, Nature
Heals!, pp.16, 61)
Remember, refined white flour is converted into and enters the
stomach as sugar - so avoid it as you would sugar.
If you have any doubts as to the damaging effects of sugar,
please see Note 7 below and visit the Quick Finder Index at

Note 7: Sugar-Laden Drinks

Soft Drinks and energy drinks are usually loaded with sugar
(see Note 6 above). It is indeed a testimony to the power of
advertising that sugar-laced drinks such as these can be
fobbed off on a gullible and trusting public in the name of
energy and health. Sugar may give us short-lived energy but at
what a price?
“Sugar-laden soft drinks should generally be avoided. Not only
can they upset blood-sugar control, but they may also
suppress the immune system, reduce levels of ‘healthy’ HDL
cholesterol, and increase levels of uric acid (which may
increase the risk of gout).

22
 23
Sugared soft drinks have also been found to be linked to
childhood obesity.” (Dr John Briffa, Ultimate Health, p.15)
Most packaged fruit juices are produced from fruit concentrate.
These concentrates have been subjected to extremely high
temperatures in order to render them sterile. Such extreme
heat destroys the enzymes in the fruit juice and most of the
nutritional value. Besides being packaged in aluminium, these
fruit extracts also “concentrate toxins from pesticide laden
fruit.” (Paul Pitchford, Healing With Whole Foods, p.626)
Far better to juice your own fresh fruit. Be warned, however,
that the sugar content of even natural juices is high and, as
such, even the most natural of juices should still be used
sparingly. Always quench your thirst with water and then use
juices as no more than an occasional spoil.

Note 8: Sunlight
“The value of sunlight has been amply demonstrated by
hospital experience, which shows a much larger percentage of
recovery in rooms amply exposed to the sun than in those
excluded from its rays.” (Dr J. M. Hoffman, The Missing Link,
p.318)
A study done at Tulane University on the effect of ultraviolet
light on blood pressure showed that a group of people who were
suffering from hypertension had a marked lowering of the
blood pressure that lasted 5 or 6 days after a single exposure
to the sun. In another study it was discovered that the output
of blood from the heart was increased by an average of 39%
and continued for 5 or 6 days following a single ultraviolet light
exposure. (American Journal of Physiology, 114:594)
Yet another study involved 30 patients who had hardening of
the arteries. Each of these patients' blood cholesterol level was
taken just prior to their being exposed to the sun. Blood
cholesterol levels were taken again two hours after the
exposure. The results showed that the sunlight had brought
about a 13% decrease in the patients' blood cholesterol level.
(Circulation, 8:438)
23
 24
And what a difference sunlight can make to our immune
system . . . “In the skin there are cells known as keratinocytes
which produce a very powerful immune-boosting substance
called interleukin-1 (IL-1). This rapidly increases the number
of T-cells by encouraging them to reproduce. IL-1 is stimulated
by natural daylight which is a good reason to spend some time
every day outdoors exposing yourself, so to speak. According
to research done in Russia, exposure to ultraviolet light
approximately doubles the ability of white blood cells to fight
off infections.” (Jennifer Meek & Patrick Holford, Boost Your
Immune System, p.102)
If you cannot find time for a daily sunbath, have lunch in the
sun and expose as much of your skin to the sun as decency
permits. Also expose your skin to the sun when taking your
daily walks - weather permitting.
Living, working and sleeping in rooms that do not get direct
sunlight will stunt growth and weaken the entire system. We
should install Perspex skylights in the ceiling of rooms that do
not get any sun. Glass is not suitable for this purpose as the
rays of the sun “cannot pass in effective amounts through
ordinary window glass.” (Dr. L & D Rosenvold, Science and
Modern Manna, p.43). According to the herbalist, Al Wolfson,
Perspex and other clear plastics allow ultraviolet rays etcetera
to filter into the room.
Considering the value of sunlight, you should not hang net
curtains over your windows. Why deprive your house of
sunlight and light, and why deprive yourself of a relaxing,
stress-relieving view of the outdoors? Remember germs hate
sunlight. More than this, net curtains are all produced from
synthetic fabrics and these materials create a serious
imbalance between the positive and the negative ions in the
air.
“A major significance of negative ions is their ability to remove
smog, cigarette smoke, pollen, dust, harmful bacteria, viruses,
and other pollutants from the air. When air contains more
negative ions than positive ones, tiny airborne particles
suspended in it will acquire a negative charge. When this
24
 25
happens, their static electricity causes the particles to
coagulate into large enough clusters to fall from the air. The
result is air that is much more pure than is normally
encountered. When positive ions predominate over the negative
ones, little cleaning of the air takes place. The result is dead
stuffy air. Most synthetic materials, such as plastics, synthetic
fabrics, and most paints, exhibit a tendency to accumulate
negative charges. The accumulated negative charge creates a
negative electric field, which attracts positive air ions and
repels negative air ions. When the body is clothed in synthetic
fabric, its natural positive electric field is shielded out and
replaced by the synthetic fabric's negative field. Natural
fabrics, such as wool or cotton, do not have this shielding
effect. When paint, plastics, or furnishings made from
synthetic materials are present in a room, they set up negative
electric fields which discourage the presence of negative air.”
(Robert Gray, The Colon Health Handbook, pp.40,41)

Note 9: EMF Exposure

WARNING: Over-exposure to EMF’s (Electro-Magnetic Fields)
can put an end to your productive life. Please take this
information very seriously. An estimated three hundred million
people now suffer from EHS (Electro-magnetic Hypersensitivity
Syndrome) and, in varying degrees, their lives have been
reduced to a living hell. Some spend their lives in radiation
shielding tents (put up inside their homes), many cannot
venture outdoors, many have been forced to move to remote
farms, all are seriously affected by cell phones and cell towers,
Wi-Fi, computers and their routers etcetera, and all have had
their immune systems compromised by EMF exposure.
All electrical appliances and gadgets emit EMF’s. Microwave
ovens, electric blankets, underfloor heating, electric hobs and
ovens, are all harmful. In years gone by, mankind was not
seriously affected by exposure to such devices, that is, until
the advent of cell phones & towers (3G, 4G & 5G), and Wi-Fi.
Lured by the promise of a quicker and better online experience,
we have embraced this new technology with open arms.
25
 26
Yet no-one warned us of the MANY DANGERS. No-one warned
us that we would be exposed to dangerous levels of radiation
24/7 for life. No-one warned us that our immune systems
would be blasted with ever-increasing levels of EMF’s for life.
See www.5Gconcerns.org for the bigger picture.
The end-result is that mankind is now blanketed with
frightening levels of radiation (EMF’s) and, believe it or not,
there is no industry-independent scientific evidence proving
that it is safe. There is, however, no end of scientific and
medical evidence proving that it is harmful to health - but the
pleas of scientists and experts seem merely to fall on deaf ears.
For example, 5G is being imposed on us at an alarming rate,
yet 5G is an extremely powerful source of EMF’s, and these
EMF emitting 5G devices are most certainly undermining our
immune systems, and they have most certainly made us more
susceptible to Covid-19. For scientific proof relative to the
above, see Chapter 8 at www.bioinitiative.org.
Think it through for yourself, and act accordingly. For starters,
here are a few hints as to how you can limit your exposure to
EMF’s. If you had the necessary EMF measuring devices, they
would more than convince you as to why the following
measures deserve our careful attention:
• Avoid crowded places – especially shopping malls.
Besides cell radiation from shoppers and local towers,
you will normally be blasted by up to 40 WiFi networks
simultaneously.
• Only ever use your cell on speaker. Place it as far from
your body as possible. Mine picks up my voice from two
meters.
• Do not leave any cell phone or WiFi device on at night.
• Keep your cell phone on airplane mode. Prepare your
messages in this mode. Then connect for as brief a
period as possible to send and receive.
• Consider cladding your living room windows with
radiation shielding film – available via www.emfsa.co.za.

26
 27
• Do not use baby monitors, electric blankets, underfloor
heating, or anything that exposes you to EMF for
extended periods of time.
• Buy your own RadAware & EMF meters from
www.emfsa.co.za and enlighten your acquaintances.
• As circumstances permit, operate your laptop on
battery, on airplane mode, on full brightness, and zero
volume. Switch on your router only when you need it.
• The world is on a pathway to self-destruction. This is
not alarmist talk. I share this with you because I myself
am now an EHS sufferer. The only way that you can
protect yourself and your loved ones from what is
coming on the earth is by becoming EMF aware. Start
with the websites listed below and move on from there.
• Please wrap the rest of your life around the fact that
EMF’s undermine your immune system and live
accordingly.
The following websites are highly recommended:

www.ehtrust.org

Note 10: Bowel Management

If not attended to, constipation will give rise to
autointoxication, and this condition can be a major cause of
any number of other ailments, many of which can be very
serious. While laxatives do provide short-term relief, the long-
term use of laxatives is not wise, and can lead to dependence.
Far better to seek out the root cause of our constipated
condition, which is most often dietary in nature, and then
make the necessary changes.
As a first step, please read chapters 1 and 2 of the No More
Illness book at www.keepwell.com.

Note 11: Wise Eating

Of all the creatures on this planet, man and his pets are the
most sickly - by far. One reason why this is so is because
mankind has become obsessed with taking apart the foods that
our Maker saw fit to put together - and this act of “taking apart”
or “refining” is always and only in the interests of the supply-
chain (shelf-life, mouth-feel, profit) and never in the better
interests of the end-user.
In the final analysis, most of the prettily packaged food
products sold by the average supermarket today are made up
of little more than varying combinations of refined white sugar,
refined white flour, refined hydrogenated fat and a frightening
array of preservatives and food chemicals. The human body
cannot produce good blood from such denatured foods, and it
cannot maintain wellness when constantly fed such foods. And
yet these are the kinds of foods that most people are living on
today.
White rice, for example, is brown rice that has had its mineral-
rich, nutrient-rich, fiber-rich outer layers removed in the name
of “food-science." Little wonder illness is epidemic throughout
the world. Little wonder our immune systems are
compromised. Little wonder so many people complain of a lack
of energy.
Because we use such denatured foods so frequently, our
appetites are never truly satisfied, our systems are
malnourished, we are lethargic, and we will usually have a
problem with constipation. With healthy whole foods now freely
available, it is no longer difficult to limit our intake of processed
foods.
Then there is the matter of Nature’s finest whole foods – these
being fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, and unprocessed nuts.
Fresh vegetables are far superior to the frozen alternative. For
taste and nutrition, nothing beats home-grown vegetables.
Peas, carrots, spinach and tomatoes, etcetera, are so easy to
grow. Canned fruit should be avoided. It is high in sugar and
is usually canned in "tin" that is really aluminium.
28
 29
Get back to using food as close as possible to how Nature
presents it to us. Fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, whole grains
and raw foods are unbeatable. These products should feature
prominently in the diet. Get back to using brown rice and whole
grain products and marvel at how much better and how much
more energetic you will feel, and how your bowel function will
improve.
Do yourself a huge favor and read chapters 1 to 5
of the No More Illness book at www.keepwell.com.

Note 12: Wise Dieting

If you are of the opinion that an "Eat-as-much-as-you-like
Diet" is just too good to be true, then please follow the logic
below and discover for yourself just how easy it is to lose weight
- naturally.
The information in this section could put an end to your weight
problems for ever, so please, sit back, relax, and give the
following overview your undivided attention - it is the product
of over 25 years of hands-on experience. The information that
you are about to read is gilt-edged, tried-and-tested truth.
In chapter one I shared with you the thrilling experience we
had at our health seminars. One of the more marked benefits
of the program, however, and one that we did not plan on or
expect, was that after the seminar all who continued to follow
the program lost weight at a rate that was truly astounding -
up to 5kg per week - and this without having to starve in any
way. This rate of weight loss continued until they reached their
natural body weight.
Within just a few weeks, those who continued with the program
had to visit the tailor for major clothing alterations (so be
prepared) . . . women who had triple chins slimmed down to
their normal body weight, and chubby young girls simply
melted down and amazed everyone as their long-concealed
beauty came to the fore.

29
 30
At first we did not quite understand why everyone lost weight
so effortlessly, but now that we do understand, we are thrilled
to share our discovery with you.
First Principle
Ask The Right Questions
If we need to lose a few kilograms, the first question we need
to ask ourselves is not, how can I lose weight, but, why did I
gain weight in the first place?
This is where most "quick-fix" diets fall apart, for the simple
reason that it is impossible to permanently lose weight until
such time as we have learnt how to permanently avoid gaining
weight.
So if some or other diet advocates a starvation type program,
or if it offers you some magical supplements along with some
magical suggestions, and it does not address the factors that
caused you to gain weight in the first place, you can only really
expect short-term results at best.
It is because of this obvious and very common oversight that:
“Ninety-nine percent of people who go on a diet regain all the
weight or more within two years. (Ann Louise Gittleman, M.S.,
Beyond Pritikin, p.45)
It is no surprise, therefore, that more and more people are
becoming disenchanted with diets. After all, most diets
recommend short-term measures, and short-term measures
can only ever achieve short-term results.
This diet, however, is so "comfortable" and so logical, and it has
so many positive spin-offs, that it persuades even the most
skeptical dieter to put it to the test - and it really works.
Second Principle
It's not how much you eat, but what you eat.
This diet begins where any rational diet must begin, and where
most diets do not begin, and that is with food quality. As such,
this diet does not focus on what you should not eat, but on
what you should eat. The rationale behind this thinking will
become apparent as we proceed.
30
 31
As regards food quality, let us once again consider the process
that converts brown rice into polished white rice. This process
destroys plus/minus . . .
 70% of the vitamin B3 (niacin),
 80% of the vitamin B1,
 90% of the vitamin B6,
 50% of both the manganese and the phosphorus,
 60% of the iron, and
 90% of the dietary fiber and EFA’s in the rice?
This, of course, just does not make sense? Why would
intelligent people take the perfect foods of nature and render
them almost nutritionally useless by removing most of their
vital nutriments?
Like myself, Dr Zehr is bewildered by this senseless process.
Here is what he has to say about food refining:
“Take beautiful whole grain and strip it of the fiber which the
body needs for proper bowel function. Then, rob it of the life-
giving germ and the endosperm that contain vitamins,
minerals and protein. Next, apply chlorine dioxide gas to
bleach what remains. Now that it looks beautifully white, is
insect proof (insects cannot survive on it!), and has an
indefinite shelf-life, sell it to every baker in the land and let
them bake lifeless bread to form the main staple of the nation's
diet. Oh, by the way, since the flour has been robbed of its
wealth and natural riches, add a trace of synthetic vitamins
and call it "enriched." In case you are not yet convinced, here
is one more point to consider: white flour is more effective as a
wallpaper paste than as a food.” (Dr Albert Zehr, Healthy Steps,
pp.7-8)
As a result of food refining, the great majority of people, most
of whom would never dream of filling their motor cars with 20
octane fuel, are unwittingly trying to fuel their lives with "20
octane" foods - and the end result is a world filled with sickly,
energy-less, overweight people.

31
 32
More About Refined Foods
Refined foods, of course, would include white pasta, white rice,
white sugar, white flour, margarine and common cooking oils.
Combinations of these denatured products are also used to
produce most processed and packaged "supermarket" foods,
including sweets, cereals, cakes, biscuits and bread. Even
"brown" bread and "whole wheat" flour are often made up of
primarily white flour, to which a little molasses has been added
for color, and to which a little bran has been added back in an
effort to fool the consumer into believing that it is the real
thing.
Refined foods are high in carbohydrates, very low on fiber, and
very low on vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. Sugar is
the doyen of refined foods in that it is an empty calorie, in other
words, it contains no vitamins, minerals or trace elements
whatsoever - and no fiber.
Let’s Start Losing Weight
By carefully considering the following information, you will
have made the first step towards a happy, energetic, "fat-free"
life.
First Big Thought: Considering the nutritional "emptiness" of
refined foods, and bearing in mind the fact that most people
have a very high intake of refined foods, it is more than obvious
that restricted diets are just what most people do not need.
Second Big Thought: Refined foods may fill our stomachs, and
they may please our palates, but they do very little to satisfy
the nutritional needs of the body. As such, the use of refined
foods will always result in an urgent message being sent to the
brain, one that we cannot help but to hear, but one that we will
almost always misinterpret: This message from the body to the
brain is a desperate cry for more nutritious food, yet we will
almost always interpret this message as a cry for more food -
and that is where most weight problems begin. Thus the use of
refined foods locks us into a vicious cycle, a vicious cycle that
forces us to eat more and more of the very foods that satisfy
the appetite less and less.
32
 33
Third Big Thought: To cut a long story short, refined foods such
as white flour, white bread, white rice, etcetera, and all
products that are made up of refined foods, quickly land up in
the blood stream as sugar. This sugar whips a normally tired
pancreas into action in a desperate attempt to clear this sugar
overload from the blood stream, and to get it accepted into the
body cells. Thus we land up with a mega load of carbohydrates
that the body has no other option but to convert into fat. (???)
Fourth Big Thought: Carbohydrates that are not refined are
known as complex carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates are
high in fiber. On their journey through the intestines, the fiber,
which is a calorie in itself, absorbs other calories and these
calories are carried out of the body via the stools. High fiber
foods make good sense, therefore, because they prevent the
body from absorbing all of the calories in your food - which is
certainly not the case with refined products such as sugar.
When we use refined carbohydrates such as white sugar, white
pasta, white bread etcetera, the carbohydrates (calories) are
not bound up with fiber and, as such, they pass rapidly and
directly through the intestinal walls into the blood stream
where they wreak havoc on the pancreas and the adrenal
glands, and more, and the body's only solution is to store these
excess carbohydrates or sugars as fat.
Then, to make matters worse, we will use energy drinks, soft
drinks, and flavored waters freely, all of which are high in
carbohydrates and extremely low on vitamins, minerals and
trace elements, and again these refined carbohydrates will
move directly into the blood stream, and again, in desperation,
the body will store them as fat.
In a nutshell, this is why so many people are having a problem
with appetite and with weight gain, this is why the USA is being
labeled as an "obese nation," and this is why food refining is so
good for business - after all, if the food you sell never satisfies
the nutritional needs of the nation, and if it leads to all sorts of
cravings and an insatiable appetite, this will mean that people
have to eat more, and this can only mean fat profits for the food
industry (excuse the pun).
33
 34
It makes good sense, as the first step in any diet, to turn our
backs on refined foods for they come with a heavy price (again,
please excuse the pun). While it may take a few days for your
taste to adjust to whole foods, we strongly suggest that you
consider the guidelines that are included in this program.
Believe me, this simple substitution program really works.
May you be encouraged by the thought that you do not have to
eat less, you only have to eat wisely. Then you will discover that
the name of this diet is perfectly justified, for when you eat
right your food will satisfy like never before and you will
actually reach a stage where you will not be able to overeat.
Then you will eat as much as you like because you will "like"
(choose) to eat only enough to satisfy your body's nutritional
needs.
So go for natural whole foods, fruits, nuts, vegetables and
grains, and forget about dieting. After only a week or two on a
whole food diet, you will start feeling like a new person. Your
energy levels will improve, your hair condition will improve,
your skin condition will improve, you will lose any desire to
overeat or to nibble throughout the day, your mind will become
sharper, and a wonderful sense of wellbeing will settle over you.
You only have one life, please make the very best of it.

Note 13: Fried Foods

“What happens in frying? Temperatures up to 600-700°F
[300°C] may be obtained. If fried foods become burned or
scorched, temperatures up to 1000°F or 1100°F [500°C] may
have been reached. At these temperatures "cis" fatty acids are
converted to [harmful] "trans" fatty acids. In other words, the
unsaturated fats behave as if they were saturated. Thus, fried
foods are more likely than un-fried foods to increase the
likelihood of hardening of the arteries. When fat is reheated to
frying temperatures the second time, as in a deep fryer [or a
popcorn vendor], the fat is more likely to develop the cancer
producing agent acrolein.” (Dr Agatha Thrash, Nutrition for
Vegetarians, p. 46)

34
 35
“Frying with oils once will not kill us, and so [this practice]
seems harmless. Our body copes with toxic substances. But
over 10, 20, or 30 years, our cells accumulate altered and toxic
products for which they have no efficient detoxifying
mechanisms. The altered and toxic substances interfere with
our body's life chemistry, our `bio-chemistry'. Cells then
degenerate, and these degenerative processes manifest as
degenerative diseases.” (Udo Erasmus PhD., Fats that Heal,
Fats that Kill, pg. 125-126).
Oils used more than once for frying are especially dangerous
(have you ever peeped inside the frying pot of a popcorn
vending machine?) Unless otherwise advertised, non-stick
surfaces are usually toxic – and especially at high
temperatures.
For more information please see the
Quick Finder Index at www.keepwell.com.

Note 14: The Healing Crisis

This program will give your system the vitality and the
opportunity to perform much needed housekeeping tasks.
Soon after starting this program, therefore, you might come
down with a cold or a cough, or you might develop minor skin
blemishes or some other eliminative outbreak. These are the
cleansing actions of Nature and, rather than hinder their
cleansing action by the use of suppressive medications, you
should allow Nature to complete her purifying and healing
work. This cleansing reaction is commonly referred to as a
“healing crisis” and is usually no cause for concern.
Please familiarize yourself with the healing crisis
by reading Chapter 8 at www.keepwell.com.

Note 15: Health Awareness

Our bodies are under siege 24 hours a day, and we simply
cannot afford to take this fact for granted. As such, we have to
become proactive about our health – both in terms of educating
ourselves and in terms of practicing what we learn. What can
35
 36
we do to limit our exposure to pollutants? What can we do to
help our systems to eliminate unwanted substances from the
body? What can we do to shield ourselves from the thousands
of toxic chemicals in the atmosphere, in our water supply, in
many of the foods that we eat, in certain cosmetics, and even,
to some extent, in our medicines? There are many things we
can do, but our first priority is to become health aware. To help
you along this rocky path, please give close attention to the
following:
Wise Words About Drugs
While medicinal drugs do have their rightful place, and while
such drugs are often indispensable, drugs do not in any way
add to our accumulation of health. They will sometimes keep
us alive, they will sometimes supply a substance that the body
needs, they will sometimes regulate some bodily function, but
drugs, being toxic, are more inclined to undermine our health
than they are inclined to improve our health. As such, always
ask your health professional if drugs are really necessary,
always read the insert that comes with your drugs and take
careful note of the side effects, always investigate the
possibility that your condition could be an adverse drug
reaction and, if you are taking more than one drug, never
discount the possibility that your condition could be the result
of an interaction between the drugs that you are taking. For a
more detailed understanding of the nature of disease and the
dangers of drugs, please visit www.keepwell.com and read the
first 6 chapters.
Wise Words About Disease Causes:
“Our body is constantly exposed to a stream of substances
which can lead to toxicity within it. Some of these, such as the
pollutants we breathe and the herbicides and pesticides that
lace many of the foods we eat, come from the outside. Others
are the result of the metabolic and physiological processes that
go on within our bodies every day. This toxic accumulation
effectively poisons the body, and may give rise to a range of
health issues.” (Dr. John Briffa, Ultimate Health, p.23)

36
 37
Most people have been and still are being conditioned into
believing that colds and flu, and diseases in general, are
caused either by germs and viruses, or by genetic factors,
draughts, accidents and/or falls in childhood etcetera. The
common factor in all of these views is the belief that disease is
generally caused by factors over which we have no control.
There is one huge flaw in this understanding of disease,
however, and that is the simple and well-established fact that
people who follow a natural lifestyle and diet are known to
build up a natural resistance to disease and, as a result, they
will seldom fall ill. Is it merely a matter of fate that health
conscious people are not troubled by the “common causes” of
disease as other people are? Obviously not.
The simple answer is that wise living and eating has (1) kept
their immune systems strong and well able to repel any germ
and/or viral invasion, (2) kept their digestive tracts, and their
systems in general, clean and healthy, (3) kept their blood pure
and alkaline, (4) kept their bowels functioning effectively and
regularly, (5) kept their hormones and body chemistry in
balance, etcetera. In simple terms, their healthy living habits
have earned them an accumulation of "wellness" that is
perfectly able to keep disease at bay.
A good lifestyle, and “good nutrition are essential for normal
organ development and functioning, for normal reproduction,
growth, and maintenance; for optimum activity level and
working efficiency; for resistance to infection and disease; and
for the ability to repair bodily damage or injury.” (Nutrition
Search Inc., Nutrition Almanac, p.1)
In this light, we will appreciate that while germs and viruses
do play a role in the onset of infectious diseases, in the truest
sense they are not the primary causes of disease. As Doctor
Hartley-Hennessey puts it, “Colds and flu are no more caused
by germs and viruses than garbage is caused by flies.” First
comes the garbage, then come the flies. In the case of infection,
first comes the impure state of the body and the compromised
immune system (the primary cause), then come the germs and
viruses etcetera (the secondary cause).
37
 38
Disease always has a cause and that cause is all too often
found in unwise eating and living habits that have undermined
the body's defense mechanisms, filled the system with toxins,
unbalanced body chemistry and laid out the red carpet for
disease. Poor diet (junk/refined food etc.) is most certainly one
of the major causes of disease today for the body's vital reserves
can never be sustained by a diet that includes all too little in
the way of fresh fruit, vegetables and genuine whole grain
products, and all too much in the way of refined white sugar,
refined white flour, refined white rice, refined white pasta,
refined hydrogenated fat (margarine and common cooking oils),
flesh foods, and highly processed "junk" foods and drinks that
are laced with sugar, preservatives and a multitude of food
chemicals and additives.
Wise Words About Foods:
There are foods, such as sugar, that impair the functioning of
your immune system, there are foods, such as refined white
flour and refined white pasta, that cause constipation, which,
in turn, causes many other ailments, and there are foods, such
as margarine and common cooking oils that are foreign to the
human system and loaded with harmful trans-fats. You simply
have to find alternatives to these foods before you can expect
healing. Follow the simple suggestions in this book and marvel
at how your life will change.
Wise Words About Colds:
“The cold is Nature’s simplest form of “healing crisis.” – it is the
form Nature uses most often for the work of eliminating
systemic refuse [impurities] from the human system.” (Dr.
Harry Benjamin, Everybody’s Guide To Nature Cure, p.100)
Far from being an “enemy,” therefore, the common cold may be
considered to be a “friend” in that it helps the body to cleanse
the system of unwanted impurities. How did these impurities
enter the system in the first place? Usually as a result of a
faulty lifestyle and diet, and/or via pollution in all its forms.
(These impurities constitute a perfect breeding ground for
germs.)
38
 39
Once we understand that our acute ailments (colds, coughs,
pimples, sneezing etcetera) are performing a vital
housekeeping function, we will see the real value in exercise,
drinking water at the right times, and massage etcetera, for
these all help Nature to cleanse the system.
When we have a cold or a cough, or any eliminative outbreak,
we should avoid the use of decongestant drugs. These
medications suppress Nature's cleansing action and, in so
doing, they hinder Nature's effort to make us well. If acute
disease is an effort of nature to cleanse the system, then it
surely makes no sense whatsoever to hinder this effort by using
suppressive, toxic drugs. See Chapter 6 at www.keepwell.com.

Note 16: The Power of Touch

Back in the thirteenth century, Frederick II, King of Germany
and Holy Roman Emperor, decided to conduct an atrocious
and inhuman experiment. Wondering what language children
would naturally speak if they were never spoken to from birth,
he had a hunch they would speak German because he believed
German was superior to all other human languages. He
commanded that babies be taken from their parents at birth
and be placed under the care of nurses who were forbidden to
talk with them. The nurses were further directed not to bond
with the babies and were not allowed to touch them: all
feeding, changing, and handling of the babies was done with
utensils to ensure no physical contact. Guess which language
they grew up speaking?
None.
But why?
They all died!
In 1248, an Italian historian named Salimbene reported the
results of this diabolical experiment in this fashion, “They
could not live without petting!” The newborns died for want of
affectionate touch: they could not survive without the sense of
love and connectedness that is communicated to the body and
mind by touch.
39
 40
Let us not believe for one minute that any of us ever loses our
need of others, and our need of tender affection. Touch is
sunlight to the soul. Our kids need it, our friends need it, we
need it, and the one sure way of getting it, is to give it.
So why would we include an article on touch in a program that
is aimed at boosting the immune system? Simply this. A lack
of touch can break the spirit, and when the spirit is broken,
systemic breakdown is inevitable.
A word of caution. Touch must always be appropriate to the
occasion and to prevailing circumstances.

Note 17: Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s)

Are you battling with stress? Is the growing intensity of life
wearing you down? It could be that you are simply deficient in
essential fatty acids (EFA’s). If this is the case, you would most
probably find that EFA supplementation could dramatically
improve every aspect of your life – and you should feel the
difference from day one.
Please allow me to explain: In simple terms, our nerves are
encased in a protective coating called a myelin sheath. This
myelin sheath is made up primarily of omega-3 and omega-6
essential fatty acids (these are called essential because the
body cannot manufacture them – which means we have to get
them from our diet). When we are not getting a sufficient
supply of these essential fatty acids, our myelin sheaths do not
develop properly and, as such, they will not adequately protect
our nerves. This is one major cause of what is commonly
referred to as frayed nerves.
But frayed nerves are not the only symptom of an EFA
deficiency – not by any means:
According to Doctor Donald Rudin, Omega 3 Fatty
Acid deficiency is “the basic cause of mental
illness today.” (Biological Psychiatry, Vol. 16, No.9)

40
 41
As surprising as Dr. Rudin’s claim may be, I have had the
pleasure of seeing a friend’s wife discharged from a mental
home just 24 hours after she started EFA supplementation. I
have also seen many other people greatly benefitted when they
started EFA supplementation.
Of course, Dr Rudin is not suggesting that all mental illness is
the result of an essential fatty acid deficiency, but I would be
willing to wager that all-too-many mental patients in this world
would experience great improvement if their EFA status were
regularly monitored. It’s as simple as that.
Yet the medically recognized symptoms of EFA deficiency run
far deeper than this:
According to Dr Steven Davies & Dr Alan Stewart, the following
are some of the more common symptoms that could be
associated with an essential fatty acid deficiency . . . hair falls
out, dandruff, eczema-like skin lesions, dry skin, wounds fail
to heal normally, all body membranes become permeable to
water (sweating for no apparent reason), excessive thirst (often
with concentrated urine due to skin water-loss), reproductive
failure (especially in males), kidneys enlarge, blood in the
urine, kidney failure, liver undergoes fatty degeneration,
salivary, tear and pancreas glands wither, depigmentation of
skin, impaired cholesterol transport, capillaries become more
fragile, impaired growth, loss of muscle tone, mental
disturbances, poor vision, heart abnormalities, diarrhoea,
bronchial disorders, and phrynoderma (gooseflesh-like pimples
on upper arms, thighs, buttocks). (Nutritional Medicine, p.11)
But, we might ask, why has essential fatty acid deficiency
become such a problem in recent decades?
Dr. Rudin's research reveals that the level of essential fatty
acids in the American diet has been reduced by 80% in the
past 100 years. (Biological Psychiatry, Vol. 16, No.9)

41
 42
This being the case, there is no mystery as to why emotional
and mental problems are epidemic in our world today, and why
so many people are suffering from stress and from ailments
that seemingly have no traceable cause?
But what has brought this tragedy upon us?
1) Our soils are becoming depleted and are no longer able
to produce nutritionally balanced crops.
2) Our food choices are generally leaning more and more
towards denatured junk foods that are almost always
hopelessly deficient in EFA’s.
If you suspect that you are EFA deficient, seek counsel from
your local health food stockist and eat a minimum of 7 walnut
halves every day.

Note 18: Hydrogenated Fats

“For optimal health, it appears important to eliminate the
intake of margarine and other foods that contain trans-fatty
acids and hydrogenated oils [which includes most processed
foods]. Hydrogenation – the addition of hydrogen molecules –
changes the structure of natural essential fatty acids from their
original cis- configuration to an unnatural trans-
configuration. These trans- fatty acids interfere with the body’s
ability to utilize essential fatty acids. Many researchers and
nutritionists have been concerned about the health effects of
margarine since it was first introduced. Although many
Americans assume that they do their bodies good by
consuming margarine instead of butter and saturated fats, in
truth, they are doing more harm. Margarine and other
hydrogenated vegetable oils not only raise LDL cholesterol (the
“bad” form of cholesterol linked to heart disease); they also
lower the protective HDL (“good”) cholesterol level, interfere
with essential fatty acid metabolism, and are suspected of
causing certain cancers, including breast cancer.” (Dr. Michael
Murray, N.D., and Dr. Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., Encyclopedia of
Natural Medicine, p.52)
42
 43
“With an enemy as dangerous and harmful to health as
hydrogenation, I make no compromise. There can be no
compromise. I maintain it has no place in any food used by
humans or animals.
“Once the oil has gone through the process of hydrogenation,
it is no longer an oil but a plastic, a celluloid or perhaps I may
stretch a point and call it a fat. I believe the end-result is a
useless, counterfeit, synthetic, plastic, celluloid-like, harmful
chemical concoction that is an insult to human intelligence.
Some of the oils used in margarine might have been vegetable
at the onset, but any one or all of the 18 or more devitalizing
processes to which it was subjected, destroyed any vestige of
naturalness and turned it into a synthetic chemical or plastic.
“Yes, I maintain that hydrogenation is more dangerous than
drugs, more dangerous than sprays and more dangerous than
chemical fertilizers. I clearly emphasize that hydrogenation is
a greater danger to our health and to our well-being than any
other factor in our society.” (J. H. Tobe, Margarine and Your
Heart Attack, pp. 15, 8, 39, 1).
Hydrogenated fats are commonly found in margarine, common
cooking oil, salad oil, shortening, interesterified fats and in
almost all processed products that have fat or partially-
hardened fat as an ingredient.
Use natural cold pressed oils that are also cold processed.
Virgin olive oil is usually a safe bet, or use fresh cream in
recipes instead of oil. Butter is a better option, but should be
used sparingly, if at all.
Never fry anything in anything.
Warning: Interesterified fats are said to contain a lower level
of trans-fats but they are as harmful as hydrogenated fats
because they have been through the same processes.

Note 19: Bathing

The body eliminates waste and impurities from the system via
the lungs, the bowels, the kidneys and the skin. To assist
elimination via the skin, take the trouble to brush your skin
with a course face cloth or loofah before bathing. Hot baths can
also assist elimination in that they promote perspiration
through the skin. When ill, and if strength permits, a bath or
a shower should be taken in the morning and at night.

Note 20: Stimulants

“The normal biological response to a sense of danger is
stimulation of the adrenal glands to release increased levels of
hormones, particularly the catecholamines – epinephrine
(adrenalin) and norepinephrine. [These are] cardiovascular
stimulants that increase heart rate, constrict blood vessels,
stimulate the brain, and affect every other body system to
prepare it for “fight” or “flight.” The problem comes in when
there is really no danger but our body reacts as if there were
[as when reading a stimulating book, watching a stimulating
movie, or in response to stress, caffeine, nicotine and sugar
intake]. Then, if greater physical demands and activity do not
provide an outlet for the increased adrenal activity, it may be
turned inward and play havoc with our physiology and organs,
as well as with our emotions and our mind.” (Dr. Elson M.
Haas, Staying Healthy With Nutrition, pp.284, 738)
“Tea, coffee, and similar beverages are brain and nerve
excitants or stimulants. They do not contain an atom of food
or nourishment. They cannot build up, they only "stir up." They
are like a whip to a tired horse, there is a false show of energy,
but the weary animal, under the leash may fall exhausted.
Caffeine stimulation forces the system to borrow from
tomorrow's reserves for present use. This is like borrowing
money to pay a debt. One may feel a sense of present relief but
one day the principal must be returned with interest.” (Dr. A.
W. Truman, Article - That Coffee Break May Break You, The
Quiet Hour Echoes - Volume 11-66)

44
 45
While stimulants may give us a temporary “lift,” that lift is
always followed by a corresponding “fall.” This fall is usually
"remedied" by taking or seeking yet another stimulant - and
thus a vicious cycle is set up – one that will usually lead to
more serious problems with time.
Clearly, therefore, the need of the sick body is not for
stimulation but for rest and, as such, those who are struggling
with illness, or who wish to boost their vitality, should make
every effort to expose themselves to restful surroundings and
stress-free circumstances while avoiding all that would tend to
stimulate the adrenals.
For more information on the subjects of
tea, coffee and caffeine, see the Quick Finder Index at
www.keepwell.com.

Note 21: Stress Management

It is difficult to avoid stress in our present world, but there are
many things that we can do to help ourselves to better cope
with stress.
A daily sunbath is one of the best, daily exercise is excellent,
quiet quality time with the kids and/or your spouse is a daily
must, as is time for relaxation. The avoidance of stimulants -
see Note 20. will do wonders to strengthen your nervous
system. Supplemental Essential Fatty Acids are a must – see
Note 17. Switching off the television and radio, dimming the
lights, and counting your blessings is a wonderful stress
reliever. Letting go of those responsibilities that others can
manage as well as you can, is another. Do you have to run the
boy scout pack? Do you have to serve as chairman of the local
neighborhood watch?
Remember, a problem shared is a problem halved – that is why
it is always good to pray. Prayer also relieves stress in that it
helps us to share our burdens (and thus halve them), and to
see things in their true perspective. One quick way to shrink
your problems is to look at them from a vantage point above
the clouds.
45
 46

Note 22: Alcohol & Tobacco

“Alcoholic beverages are regarded by social analysts as
America’s number one public enemy. This “beloved enemy”
claims at least 100,000 American lives per year. This is five
times as many as all illegal drugs combined.” (Dr Neil Nedley,
Proof Positive, p.426)
The verdict is out on alcohol and tobacco. We do not need
reminding as to how they damage us on a physical, spiritual,
social, and mental level.
Seek help – if necessary.

Note 23: Spiritual Health

Suddenly our world has changed, and it has changed
dramatically.
Suddenly death in all its icy coldness has grabbed the
headlines as never before.
Suddenly people of all persuasions are adopting a whole new
value system and way of life. According to one prominent
preacher, for every 80,000 people who die from Covid-19, the
number of people who google the words “pray” or “prayer”
doubles.
Suddenly surprising numbers of people are being admitted to
ICU, daily, where they spend long, lonely, agonizing days
asking questions that they might never have asked before –
like, Will I live – or, What happens when I die – or, Is there
a God – or, am I going to die alone.
And our hearts can only reach out to these dear souls. Death
is such a tragedy, but to die alone, and this without hope, is a
tragedy that defies description – and it is such an unnecessary
tragedy.
In the sincere hope that this exercise will help others to escape
this most trying situation, I humbly share with you a few
thoughts that serve as mighty anchors to my soul.

46
47
 48
As we grapple for words to describe the overwhelming
complexity of it all, we can only wonder as to the origin of this
miracle, and we have to wrestle with the question: Could this
be the product of chance?
To answer this all-important question, we have only to put it to the test
of reason and logic.
Please carefully consider the following:
- If all the scientists in all the world, . . .
- with all the knowledge in all the world, . . .
- and all the technology in all the world, . . .
- cannot make one living hair, or even one living cell, . . .
- then how did something that is best described as nothing,
- nothing that knows nothing,
- nothing that could only have been aided by nothing,
- produce a living organism of such infinite complexity, such
remarkable efficiency, and such outstanding intelligence?
Did a non-intelligent “something” conceive of and produce an
intelligent being that sees, loves, thinks, smells, hears, cries,
laughs, speaks, feels, smiles, etcetera?
Did something that is best described as “nothing” conceive of a
reproductive plan whereby a male and a female would be
drawn together in loving attraction, and would miraculously
replicate themselves on the sacred altar of intimate
togetherness?
Did a fully functional male and a fully functional female of
every known species emerge simultaneously out of a
mysterious explosion, or from some primordial mud pit?
There is not a scientist anywhere in this world who can provide
satisfactory answers to these questions. To my way of thinking,
it is infinitely easier to believe that an intelligent Being made
life than it is to believe that non-intelligent nothingness made
life.

48
49
 52
How could we have evolved if human life cannot exist in the
absence of all ten systems? In the simplest of terms, how could
we have evolved from nothingness if the complexity of human
life is irreducible? Is it possible that all ten systems emerged
simultaneously out of a mud pit or a big bang?
Let us now look at this matter on a much bigger stage:
The theory of evolution is founded on the big bang theory.
According to astrologers, the stars move with a precision that
is best described as absolute. In order to believe in the big bang
theory, therefore, we would have to believe that nothing
transformed the outcome of a chaotic explosion into billions of
galaxies, many of which comprise billions of stars, and every
one of those stars moves in relation to all the other stars with
perfect and seemingly eternal precision? Really?
And so, we could continue, almost ad infinitum, asking
questions that Charles Darwin himself could never answer. To
prove the point, please visit www.trueorigin.org.
Many years ago, my personal convictions bounced between a
belief in God and a halfhearted belief in the theory of evolution
– that is, until the day that death stared me in the face. I will
not share all the details with you, but I found myself in a
frightening situation that had me thoroughly convinced that I
was about to die. I was alone and, suddenly I felt a dire need
for someone to hold onto, and a hope to cling to.
In my desperation I stared at my hand and, for the first time
ever, I realized that I was looking at a miracle. Involuntarily I
started moving my fingers, and spontaneously I uttered the
words: “But evolution could never have made this.”
In that unforgettable moment I met my Maker – my True
Maker. He was not the stern, unfeeling tyrant that had been
imposed on my thinking ever since my childhood, He was not
an unkindly authoritarian who spent his life taking note of my
every mistake, but a kind, loving, caring and compassionate
heavenly Father and Friend, One who has delighted my soul
with His unbounded love and wonders ever since.
50
 51
Knowing Him, thoughts about the inevitable no longer frighten
me. The fear of death has been replaced by an abiding trust. I
firmly believe that, in spite of my many mistakes, I will wake
up at some time after I die – with Him – and thanks only to
Him.
My dear reader, if you are an unbeliever, I humbly urge you to
give God a chance. It costs nothing to ponder on the probability
of a loving, forgiving Maker. He did not make us to abandon us
to a world gone wrong, He made us because He loves us. No
matter who you are, no matter what you have done, God has
made a way whereby every one of us can live, and die, with a
realistic hope of living forever – with Him.
Most kind and loving Father, I commit my reader to your
care and keeping. Please guide him or her over the rough
pathways of this life into the eternal glories beyond.
If you would like to learn more about God, and how
you can develop a forever friendship with Him, I invite you to

Note 24: Flesh Foods

“During World War II there was a meat shortage in Denmark.
So the Danish government based the national diet on whole
grain and bran bread, barley porridge, potatoes, greens and
dairy products. The Danes emerged from the war with
improved health. The death rate fell by 40 per cent in one year.
When they returned to their meat-centered diet, mortality rates
from circulatory diseases went up again to their pre-war
levels.” (Dr. Michael Sharon, Complete Nutrition, p.180)
Meat has never been the ideal food. Firstly because it is devoid
of fiber and high in saturated fat, and secondly because, as Dr
Neil Nedley confirms, many serious diseases, such as Cancer,
Crohn’s Disease, prion diseases (Mad Cow Disease),
Salmonella Disease, and Bovine leukemia virus disease, and
many more, are now associated with the eating of animal
products. (Proof Positive, p.230).

51
 52
According to Dr Richard Lacey, a prominent microbiologist and
BSE researcher, “There is now an overwhelming scientific and
medical case for avoiding meat and meat products despite the
[US] government’s attempts to persuade us otherwise.” (As
quoted by Dr. Neil Nedley, Ibid, p.221)

Note 25: Microwave Ovens

“Mums who heat babies' milk in a microwave oven are exposing
them to brain and liver damage, scientists warn in the leading
medical journal The Lancet. Researchers were shocked to find
the super-fast ovens turn proteins in milk into poisons which
attack vital organs. Now they fear everyone who eats micro
waved food may be at risk because the same proteins are found
in snacks such as pizzas, curries, quiches and TV dinners.
Tests by children's doctors in Austria showed that heating
babies' milk at high speed in a microwave changed its chemical
structure abnormally. Protein-forming amino acids - found in
dairy products, processed foods, meat and fish - which
normally strengthen cells in the body, attack it instead. The
brain, liver and kidneys are particularly effected-with possible
fatal results. Dr. Gerd Lubec, who first discovered the dangers,
stormed: ‘The manufacturers have done nothing. They must
carry out tests.’ Experts yesterday backed the alarming
warning to busy mums, who find microwaves a boon to heat
milk quickly. Doctor Vernon Coleman fears thousands could
die every year from the effects of food cooked in microwaves.
He warns: ‘The news that microwave ovens may turn the
ingredients in usually safe foods into potentially toxic
substances has to be taken very seriously.’” (John Pullman,
The Sun [UK], January 18, 1990)

Note 26: Mercury Dental Fillings

“Autopsy studies have shown a positive correlation between the
number of occlusal surfaces (where teeth fit together) of dental
amalgam and mercury levels in the brain and kidney cortex.
Research has also shown mercury dental amalgam to have an
adverse effect on the T-lymphocyte count (a vital component of
the immune system). With the concern about the immune
system diseases of today [SARS, AIDS, COVID-19], does it
make sense using a dental amalgam material that may have
a drastic effect on one's defense system? Multiple Sclerosis
patients have been found to have eight times higher levels of
mercury in the cerebral spinal fluid compared to neurologically
healthy controls. Inorganic mercury is capable of producing
symptoms which are indistinguishable from those of multiple
sclerosis.
“Dentists have the highest suicide and divorce rate of all
professionals. Neuro-psychological dysfunction was present in
90% of dentists tested by Joel Butler, Ph.D., a professor of
psychology at the University of North Texas. Another alarm:
Female dental hygienists have a higher spontaneous abortion
rate, an increased incidence of premature labor, and an
elevated perinatal mortality. The neonatal blood of these
women who were exposed to mercury while working in dental
offices was found to contain significantly higher mercury levels
than in control women with no occupational exposure to
mercury. Another concern: Why do dentists, according to the
insurance industry, have one of the highest utilization rates of
medical insurance? Dr. Magnus Nylander published a report
in The Lancet describing an increased uptake of mercury in the
pituitary glands of dentists. Just because over 100 million
people have mercury fillings in their mouths [what a tragedy?],
we must not assume that this is medically safe. A report which
appeared in a Swedish newspaper in May 1987, stated ‘The
Swedish Health Board declares amalgam toxic and unsuitable
as a dental filling material.’” [The latter-mentioned report was
later challenged in public hearings and was upheld.] (Dr James
P. Carter, M.D.; Dr. P.H., Racketeering In Medicine, pp.62-63)
53
 54
If you have silver/mercury dental fillings, it is of utmost
importance that you read Chapter 9 at www.keepwell.com
and take appropriate action.

Note 27: Food Preservatives Etc

“Preservatives can be considered in the classification of
poisonous drugs because they have the same ill effects on the
tissues in which they settle. Many of our canned foods are
being preserved with drugs. In the past, arsenic was used in
the canning of peas. We find that some companies are using
certain poisonous fluids and drugs to preserve canned meats.
Soda is frequently used as a preservative. Coal tar [a known
cancer-producing agent] products often are used for coloring
and flavoring.” (B. Jensen D.C., N.D., The Science and Practice
of Iridology, p168)

Note 28: Insomnia

Some of us can sleep through a storm, others of us are not so
fortunate. I have battled with insomnia for most of my adult
life – but I have learnt a few valuable lessons that I will share
with you in simple point form.
 If you are struggling to catch up on your sleeping hours,
always remember that “two hours of good sleep before
twelve o'clock is worth more than four hours after twelve
o'clock.”
 Night-time is resting time, and it is vitally important that
you give your stomach a chance to rest by avoiding heavy
meals in the evenings. As the adage goes, “breakfast like a
king, lunch like a prince, and supper like a pauper.”
 Exercise is nature’s finest sleeping pill. The more you
exercise during the day, the more your sleeping pattern will
improve, and the deeper you will sleep.

54
 55
 If you are troubled by nightmares and/or busy and/or
complicated dreams, avoid irradiated spices. If that does
not solve the problem, avoid anything irradiated, all
preservatives, and anything cooked or canned in
aluminium. This will take a little research.
 If restless leg syndrome keeps you awake, try cutting out
all foods that might have been cooked in or canned in
aluminium. Food cooked in other metal cookware might
also cause this syndrome.
 Wi-Fi should not be used at all. It is known to cause many
health problems. If you must use Wi-Fi, only use
applications that can be switched off when not in use. Wi-
Fi and all other radiating devices such as cell phones and
smart watches, etcetera, must be switched off at night.
 Electric blankets and underfloor heating, and all electric
devices give off a powerful electromagnetic (EMF) field that
is positively harmful. Rather dress warmly and use hot-
water bottles.
 For a deeper sleep, have a good electrician install a remote-
controlled, non-Wi-Fi enabled “kill-switch” on your
electrical distribution (DB) board. This will kill all power to
your home except the fridge, geysers, and other essentials.
 Mercury is the second most toxic substance on the planet.
When I became mercury toxic thanks to dental fillings, I
hardly slept for ten years. Do the obvious and avoid
mercury in all forms (as in eye-liner, antiseptics,
mercurochrome, etcetera). A broken thermometer,
anywhere, is a disaster warranting specialist attention.
 A duck-down duvet and pillow, 100% cotton sheets, pillow
cases and duvet covers, woolen blankets and foam rubber
mattress inserts are all essentials for a good night sleep –
especially if you are a sensitive individual as I am. Synthetic
fabrics, as commonly used in bedding and mattresses, are
an outright no-no for serious insomniacs. Speak to any
mattress or foam rubber supplier about “eggbox” foam
rubber mattress inserts.
55
 56

Note 29: Homogenized Milk

“Cow’s milk is normally a nutritious food. However, when it is
tampered with by way of homogenization, it becomes a type of
slow poison for the circulatory system. Homogenization is a
mechanical process in which milk is passed through pipes and
fine filters at a pressure of 2500 psi and a speed of 600 feet per
second. The fat portion of the milk is thus broken up into very
small globules. Like mist in a fog, small fat particles remain in
suspension and do not rise to the top of the milk.”
"Milk is homogenized primarily to extend its shelf life. There
are economic advantages to selling a product with a longer
shelf life.” (Nicholas Sampsidis M.S, Homogenized, p.7)
“Homogenized cow's milk transforms healthy butter fat into
microscopic spheres of fat containing xanthine oxidase (XO)
which is one of the most powerful digestive enzymes there is.
The spheres are small enough to pass intact right through the
stomach and intestinal walls without first being digested. Thus
this extremely powerful protein "knife," XO, floats throughout
the body in the blood and lymph systems. When the XO breaks
free from its fat envelope, it attacks the inner wall of whatever
vessel it is in. This creates a wound. The wound triggers the
arrival of "patching plaster" to seal off that wound. This
"patching plaster" is cholesterol. Hardening of the arteries,
heart disease, chest pain, heart attack is the result.” (Paul
Pitchford, Healing With Whole Foods, p.19)
Almost all dairy milk that is on sale through retail outlets is
homogenized. In years gone by homogenized milk was
advertised as such on the carton, but this is no longer the case
in certain countries. If you are troubled by high cholesterol
levels, or if you wish to avoid health problems, find a supplier
of non-homogenized milk or use a non-dairy alternative.

Cautions & Suggestions

(a) In the case of any serious illness, always consult a suitably

qualified, diet-oriented health professional.
(b) Always bear in mind that when charcoal is taken orally, it
could neutralize the effect of prescription medicines. Also
remember that while herbal remedies might be safe in
themselves, they could react negatively with certain
medications. This being the case, always consult with your
physician before using charcoal or any herbal preparation.
Your physician might recommend that you not use these
substances within two hours before or after taking your
medication.
(c) Under no circumstances should you stop taking your
medication, or change the dose, unless advised to do so by your
prescribing physician.
(d) Many people treat herbs and medication as a form of magic,
expecting to be healed despite their faulty lifestyle and dietary
habits. In the long term, this never works. The Wise Living
Guidelines given herein will usually bring about surprising and
lasting results - whether or not you are on medication, and
whether or not you use herbs.
(e) We strongly recommend that the guidelines presented
herein should be adopted, not just as short-term "remedies" –
but, wherever applicable, as integral components in your
lifestyle and diet.
