There are many of us who feel we want to overcome our nervous trouble through our own resources. We do not want to rely on taking sedatives and tranquillizers over a long period. We want a more natural approach to our problems:
Relaxed.
Natural to relax.
It is the natural way.
To rest, and relax, and be calm.
Natural way to gather strength.
Strength of body, and calm of mind.
Of course, this sequence of thought is absolutely true. Relaxation is nature’s way of coping with tension and anxiety. When we feel tense, something within us tells us to sit down and relax. This is the simple biological remedy for a very common condition. But the trouble is that when we go to do it, we find it hard to achieve. Through our sophisticated cultural development we have lost the biologically primitive art of simple relaxation. We need a little help to relearn it again. It is natural and simple; we just need this little help to learn again what our distant forefathers could do so easily.

During my visit to Bjorkagarden Institute I met several patients with arthritis and interviewed some of them. One story is etched into my memory more than any other because it is a dramatic and sad story of human suffering and despair. It is a circulus vitiosus of going from doctor to doctor in the hope of finding relief from agonizing pain; staying in hospital after hospital; consuming astronomical amounts of toxic drugs—and only getting worse and worse! But this sad story had a happy ending! Let’s hear it from Mrs. Greta Friberg in her own words as follows:
“About three years ago, at the age of 42,1 started to feel a certain stiffness in my joints, mostly in my hands and shoulders. I didn’t pay much attention to it, hoping that it would heal by itself. But the stiffness persisted, on and off, for over a year. Then, in January, 1965, my left hand swelled up and started to ache. I wrapped it in warm wool, which relieved the pain somewhat, but the swelling only continued to increase. Three weeks later my right hand started to swell.
“1 went to a doctor, a private practitioner in Boras. The examination showed low blood values (70 per cent) and a high sedimentation rate (50). The doctor sent me to the Boris Hospital. But the hospital was overfilled and I had to wait until April 9,1965 to enter it. Meantime, the pain in my hands was getting more and more agonizing.
“In the hospital they gave me two different drugs: the first week Bamul the second week Prednisolone, a hormone preparation. I also received shortwave treatments. After two weeks at the hospital my sedimentation rate improved, and swelling went down a little. I was sent home and asked to return after one week for a checkup. Upon returning I received a new medication, Tanderil, and instructions to take six tablets of it a day. I went back home and continued with Tanderil. It relieved the stiffness in my joints, but after about one week I started to feel sick all over and my face started to swell badly— I looked like a blown-up balloon. I lost my appetite, felt tired all the time, and could not sleep well. One morning I could not get out of bed. I had a fever of over 100° and noticed a rash over my breast. My husband telephoned for a physician, but he couldn’t come, so my husband took me to the doctor’s office in an automobile. The doctor thought that my condition was quite bad. He said that perhaps the Tanderil was too strong and he advised me to get back home, stay in bed, and not take this drug for a while. I was rather shocked and scared to discover that drugs could be that toxic and that they could make me so ill. I went home and decided to throw away all my drugs. I had a high fever and tried resting in bed, but the fever just continued to climb. I felt sick all over. And, after I discontinued with drugs, the pain in my arms was unbelievable. The slightest move caused the most excruciating pains.
“Now my husband telephoned the hospital in Boras and was advised to take me there immediately. At the hospital I received medication which caused irregular heartbeats and a bad cough. Next day I lost consciousness and remained unconscious for 36 hours. When I woke up, I had a bad nosebleed and my eyes were inflamed. Also my hearing was affected. It was as if I had a very severe cold. My nose and throat were all congested and inflamed, and I could not take in any solid foods. This continued for a whole week. During all this time my fever remained high. Nosebleeding became very bad and they had to burn the inside of my nose to stop the profuse bleeding. After three weeks they put me back on Bamul again. This time I stayed at the hospital a total of seven weeks.
“When I got back home and started using several new prescribed drugs my temperature never did go down. I felt very tired and had to stay in bed most of the time. After four days at home and heavy medication a rash broke out all over my body. I went back to the hospital
“Now I stayed there for two and a half months. All that time my condition was progressively getting worse. My blood hemoglobin count was now 40. Doctors said that my kidneys were weak and my liver was inflamed. They gave me new drugs, six tablets a day, and sent me home. The hospital doctor sent me to a convalescent home in Hultafors.
“Five weeks at the convalescent home put me on my feet again. I regained some strength and added some weight. Not only did I receive various drugs there, but also shortwave treatments, massage, hot baths, etc. My blood value improved (80 per cent) and stiffness and swelling were relieved somewhat. I returned home able to walk, even though my arms and shoulders were still painful and stiff.
“In January, 1966 my condition took a turn for the worse again. My whole body was swollen. A doctor at the Boras
Hospital said that the swelling was caused by the drugs I was taking. When I stopped taking the drugs the pain in my joints was so unbearable that I could not tolerate it. And now stiffness was spreading all around my body; All the joints were swollen: knees, feet, hips.
“I felt very discouraged and hopeless. They had tried everything and yet I was getting worse. The drugs only made me worse, yet without them my pains were intolerable. I was a nervous wreck and felt very depressed. I wanted to die. There was no way out of the inferno of my agonizing suffering and pain.
“At this point some friends told me of the Bjorkagarden Institute. My husband felt that perhaps it was worth trying. I did not reflect one way or another—I could hardly get worse, so I had nothing to lose.
“I came here on March 18,1966. Immediately I was put on a 17 day fast. It wasn’t easy, I must admit. My nerves were bad, I was worried and irritable. But after 17 days of fasting, to my surprise, I felt a fantastic improvement! The pain was all but gone (and without drugs, because all my drugs were taken away from me the day I arrived) and my joints regained some mobility. Of course, during the fast, which consisted of fresh juices and vegetable broths, I received all the usual treatments here: baths, vacuum massage, cupping, etc. I returned home in better condition than I had experienced in many years.
“After one week home I returned here to continue my treatments. I fasted one week on water; then I went on a special diet for four weeks. After that I fasted one more week on juices. I went home for a week, much improved, but still felt some stiffness in the joints, especially my knees and hips. Later, I returned here on June 5 to complete my treatments, and have been here now for six weeks. I fasted on juices for 21 days. Now I am on my special diet again.
“The last long fast did wonders for me! Now I am completely free from pain. The joints are almost normal; no swelling, just a slight stiffness occasionally. But I know that a couple weeks more and I will he completely cured. I feel like a new person. I swim in the river every day and take long walks. I am so grateful! I plan to stay here until the 15th of August, but I feel so great already that I could go home today!”

Many relatives of people with epilepsy are naturally concerned as to what may happen during a seizure if they are not present to assist. We have known this anxiety carried to extremes. One of our patients, an epileptic woman of 30, was still sharing her parents’ bedroom, as they were concerned that she might come to harm during a nocturnal seizure, even though she had had none for 15 years! In practice, harm resulting from seizures is exceptionally rare, but there are a few sensible precautions.
Epilepsy as a social weapon-Families must be aware of ways in which epilepsy can be ‘used’. The child or young person with epilepsy, knowing of his parents’ anxiety about him, may manipulate them into granting him unreasonable requests. They may give in to feeling sorry for his difficulties, or they may feel that they should avoid an emotional upset that might precipitate a seizure. There is no reason why a child with epilepsy should not experience the same discipline as his siblings, who will themselves become jealous and unruly if they feel that one member of the family is being spoiled.
The other side of the coin is that parents may use the threat of epilepsy as a means of controlling behaviour which they otherwise cannot control. Examples we have met include limiting the hours of television watched, and the lateness of the hour by which an adolescent with epilepsy must return home.

RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
Author: admin
It would be more difficult to identify the events or circumstances that might trigger the autoimmune process for rheumatoid arthritis. The macrophage involvement is identical, of course.
So what signs would you look for? It’s well known that rheumatic fever often results in rheumatoid arthritis. We also know that aching joints are often present during several types of flu infections. Nobody seems to have established any connection between the flu and any subsequent appearance of rheumatoid arthritis. But then, I don’t think anybody has investigated that possible connection.
Actually, nobody seems to know what triggers the autoimmune arthritic process so we don’t know what events or circumstances to look for. In the medical dictionaries “rheumatoid arthritis” is simply defined as an inflammation of the joint that causes changes in the connective tissue. Cause unknown.
Our best advice to anyone thinking of CMO as a preventive for rheumatoid arthritis is to be suspicious of any joint pain.

CHILDREN’S HEALTH: RINGWORM
Author: admin
Symptom
Scaly, red rash
Home care
Apply a nonprescription antifungal ointment to the infected area until the skin is clear. If you do not know which preparation to use, ask your doctor.
Precautions
- If a rash does not improve with home treatment, see the doctor. The rash may not be ringworm at all.
- If home treatment seems to make the rash worse, discontinue treatment and see the doctor. The child’s skin may be sensitive to the medication you’re using.
Ringworm is actually a skin infection caused by a fungus. Ringworm spreads by direct contact with an infected person or pet animal, or by indirect contact with contaminated objects such as combs, pillows, towels, clothing, even the floor.
Different funguses prefer different areas of the body. Ringworm of the scalp (tinea capitis) appears as scaly patches with stubs of broken-off hairs on the scalp. Ringworm of the body (tinea corporis) shows up as round or oval red, scaly patches that enlarge while healing proceeds from the center. Ringworm of the groin (tinea cruris) is characterized by a red or brown scaly rash on the crotch and the genital area and has a sharply defined margin of spread. Ringworm of the feet (athlete’s foot, or tinea pedis) affects the feet and sometimes the ankles and legs. The diagnosis of ringworm is based on your child’s history and close inspection of the rash. The diagnosis is confirmed by laboratory tests.
Home care
Antifungal ointments such as haloprogin, chlortrimazole, tolnaftate, and undecylenic acid ointments can be applied to the infected area until the skin clears.
Precautions
• Several other common rashes resemble ringworm. If a rash does not improve after several days of home treatment see your doctor.
• The preparations used to treat ringworm may cause another rash on sensitive skin. If the rash worsens or changes in any way, stop home treatment and see your doctor.
Medical treatment
Your doctor can confirm a home diagnosis of ringworm by examining your child’s rash under ultraviolet light, and by culturing a skin scraping and examining the results under the microscope. The doctor may prescribe an antifungal ointment to be applied to the skin, or a medication such as griseofulvin fungicide for the child to take by mouth.

CHILDREN’S ALLERGY: EXPLANATION OF TERMS
Author: admin
Millions of years ago, a child was born whose body did not understand the difference between harmless substances normally found in the environment (allergens) and agents that carried infections. As a result, the child reacted to allergens in the same way he reacted to infections-by producing antibodies (protective substances) against them. With these new antibodies, he fought the allergens in various organs of his body, causing an inflammation there. This inflammation is known as allergy. As allergic men and women got married, this weakness was compounded in their offspring. They became known as allergy-prone or atopic children.
Explanation of Terms
Atopy (or allergy proneness). This is susceptibility to a group of illnesses that develop naturally after contact with allergens. It has the following characteristics:
a. A family history of allergy. An atopic child will not inherit a specific allergic disease. He does inherit, however, the tendency to develop sensitivity to any allergen when he comes in contact with it. This contact cannot be avoided realistically, and it may take place months or years after birth.
b. A reaction to an injected allergen. This may be a swelling and an itch in the skin where an allergen, to which one is sensitive, has been injected.
Sensitization. When an atopic child is exposed to an allergen, he may become sensitive to it. Sensitization can be active or passive. An example of active sensitization is when an allergic child develops allergy to ragweed when he is exposed to it. An example of passive sensitization is illustrated in the following historic experiment. Blood serum from Dr. Kustner, who was sensitive to fish, was injected into the skin of Dr. Prausnitz, who was not. A few hours later, an extract of fish was injected into the skin of Dr. Prausnitz. Within thirty minutes, an inflammation and itching developed in the skin of Dr. Prausnitz, who had never before been sensitive to fish. The skin of Dr. Prausnitz, which did not contain antibodies against fish, acquired them through a passive transfer from Dr. Kustner’s blood serum, which did contain them. Passive transfer causes a local sensitivity that lasts only a short time, in contrast to active sensitivity which lasts much longer.
Sensitization can be immediate or delayed. One child may develop hay fever minutes after exposure to ragweed; this is an immediate type of sensitivity. Another child may develop poison ivy dermatitis days after exposure to poison ivy; this is the delayed type of sensitivity. The distinction between the two kinds of sensitivity is based upon the time required for an allergic reaction to develop following exposure to an allergen.
Some factors influence the type and likelihood of allergy:
a. The route through which the allergen enters the body. Some allergens are more dangerous when given by injection and less dangerous when given by mouth. An example is penicillin.
b. The presence of the allergen in the environment in quantity. Ragweed may cause allergies in children while they are in America because ragweed is present in abundance here; it does not cause allergies in the same children when they are in Europe because it is less abundant there.
ñ Some substances have a stronger allergenic power than others and are therefore more likely to cause an allergy. The egg white has stronger allergenic power than the yolk,
d. The capacity of a person to acquire an allergy. Twins growing up in the same environment may develop different kinds of allergies; also, one twin may develop an allergy, while the other may never develop an allergy.
Toxicity. Toxicity is not allergy; it is the reaction of the body to a substance given to it in quantity (such as the reaction of a person who is stung by many bees). Allergy, on the other hand, may result from an injection of a very small quantity of bee venom. Therefore, one definition of allergy would be an extreme sensitivity to a substance which is harmless to most persons when given to them in the same amount.
Shock Organ. The organ of the body which becomes inflamed in allergy is called the shock organ. In asthma, the shock organ is the lung; in hay fever, it is the nose; in eczema, it is the skin.

FERTILITY PROBLEMS: SEEKING MEDICAL HELP
Author: admin
You are probably beginning to understand how the complex and delicate balance of our reproductive systems can be upset by things we do, eat, or come into contact with in everyday life. Of all these factors, nutrition (getting your diet right and correcting any deficiencies) is probably the most important. It’s certainly a vital first step for any couple trying to improve their fertility, even if they eventually opt for an assisted conception.
However, when you keep trying to conceive and nothing happens it is easy to get into a panic and start thinking that something is seriously wrong – either with you or your partner. I describe the various medical tests you can both have, in order to check different aspects of your fertility. These tests can highlight specific medical problems and assess crucial factors like hormone levels and sperm quality. Sometimes simply going through the process of eliminating different possibilities can give you peace of mind and make you more relaxed (which can be helpful in itself). And the information you gain may be very useful. For instance, if you find that your partner has poor sperm motility you can target the problem directly with additional nutrients like L-arginine.
Barbara was 41 when she came to see me. She had tried four IUI cycles with no success. She had been told her FSH levels were too high, ranging from 24 to 33 at the beginning of her cycles over a number of months. The cutoff level is 10 for most IVF clinics and levels as high as Barbara’s would normally indicate that she was beginning the menopause. The clinic had asked her to be tested each month to see how the FSH was fluctuating. Although the clinic was focusing on Barbara’s hormone levels, I Still suggested that both she and her partner should be tested for nutritional deficiencies and have these corrected, which they did. They both followed the Four-Month Preconception Plan and Barbara conceived naturally on a cycle with an FSH of 24. She now has a healthy baby boy.
Although it is important to investigate any possible medical problems, most couples are better advised only to start these investigations once they have implemented their preconception dietary and lifestyle changes by following the four-month plan. They should then try to conceive on their own for approximately six months. This is because many of the factors that will be tested – such as hormone levels, ovulation and sperm quality – will start to improve very quickly of their own accord, once both partners have established the recommended changes. The only exceptions to this are couples where the woman is older than 35 or couples who have reason to believe that they have a medical problem (such as the symptoms of an infection, which should be treated immediately).

Nail brittleness
Nails so soft that they split into layers or split very easily once they grow beyond the fingertips.
What causes it?
No one knows for certain. Possibilities are:
• Circulatory disturbances causing poor nutrition to the nail bed, but there are usually other signs of this and it is not common in the fingers.
• An inherited tendency.
• Psoriasis. Usually the nails are also pitted.
• Iron-deficiency-the nails are usually spoon-shaped.
• Zinc-deficiency.
Prevention
• See a doctor for the treatment of any circulatory disorder you have.
• Get psoriasis treated.
• Take iron supplements or eat more iron-containing foods.
• Use nail hardeners or nail polish to prevent the ends from splitting.
• Increase the whole foods you eat and cut down on refined foods.
• Take a zinc supplement (up to 20 mg daily).
Nappy rash
It is a reddened area of skin in the nappy area of a baby. This can develop into tight, papery skin with some peeling. The common rash tends to spare the folds and creases, but babies with sensitive skins and those prone to seborrhea (cradle cap) may get a rash that extends into the folds and creases. A monilial rash (caused by thrush) has features of both and also has some spots elsewhere. It is also possible to have a rash that is purely monilial and consists just of isolated spots.
If a nappy rash is very severe there may be raised, red pustules which turn into raw, ulcerated areas. Undoubtedly a baby with this severity of rash will be irritable and will cry a lot.
What causes it?
• Common nappy rash is caused by urine irritating the skin in places where the nappy chafes. Plastic pants increase the humidity by preventing evaporation and so make this kind of nappy rash worse. It is thought that ammonia released from the urine is not the cause of this kind of rash but it can make the rash worse if the skin is already damaged.
• Diarrhea of any cause can make a nappy rash worse.
• Allergies are rarely a cause but some babies appear to be allergic to certain chemicals used in the manufacture of paper nappy liners.
• Airtight and watertight plasticized disposable nappies provide little or no ventilation and may promote nappy rashes.
• Occasionally a nappy rash is the earliest sign of atopic eczema.
• One in two nappy rashes is caused by monilia (thrush). Any rash that has been present for three days or more is likely to have monilia in it.
Prevention
Preventing the common kind of nappy rash is simple:
• Change your baby’s nappies frequently, never allowing him or her to stay for long in a wet or soiled nappy.
• Leave your baby without a nappy for as much of the time as possible-this is easier in the summer.
• Wash the bottom well and dry it thoroughly, and only then apply a barrier cream. Do this every time you change the nappy.
• Soak nappies in a sterilizing solution before washing.
• Ensure that nappies are thoroughly rinsed to remove all the soap and detergent.
• A one-way fabric nappy liner works wonders but paper ones can actually make rashes worse.
• Ideally, avoid using plastic pants, though this is the counsel of perfection because it often means soaked clothing, bedding, etc.
• If you think a particular brand of disposable nappy is the cause of your baby’s problem it could be the plastic or the deodorizer used. Try the baby in terry nappies for a few days to see if this will cure the condition. Once a culprit has been found, avoid it in the future.

HELPING MENAGE PAIN IN ENDOMETRIOSIS
Author: admin
Visualization – imagery
Visualization will not get rid of your pain completely or permanently but it should give you a ‘time out’ period where you can use your imagination to create mental images that blot out your pain.
You may focus on your pain by imagining that you are in an open field on a warm sunny day. Just beside you is a helium-filled balloon with a large basket attached. You imagine that you load up the basket with all your pain and discomfort. The balloon now slowly rises up in the air and floats away, taking with it the basket loaded with your pain.
You may focus on your endometriosis by imagining that the endometriosis cells in your body are being invaded by your body’s natural defenders, an army of white blood cells. The white cells destroy the unwanted endometriosis cells and you can visualize your organs healthy once again.
These images may also focus on yourself. You may like to imagine yourself in surroundings that give you enormous pleasure. For example, you may visualize yourself on a tropical island, peacefully lying on the warm golden sands while palm trees gently sway in the breeze and the waves quietly lap onto the shore.
You may like to imagine yourself walking through a field early in the morning, the lush green grass still glistening in the sun from the morning dew. You notice the deep blue sky dotted with wispy white clouds, the golden sun sending forth its warming rays and the spring flowers showing forth a multitude of colours. You then enter a cool dark forest, which feels refreshing after the warm sun. Here you may rest a while, taking in the peace and tranquility of your surroundings, before returning to reality.
Being positive
If negative thoughts and emotions can be removed and your perception of pain is altered then your coping abilities and lifestyle improve, often leading to a significant decrease in actual pain.
You have to accept that there is no instant cure for your pain and discomfort and that you need to take steps to do something positive about dealing with it.
Pain clinics
There are pain clinics throughout Australia that specialize in the treatment and management of various types of chronic pain. Some are located at major public hospitals and others are in private practices. Some women find these clinics of enormous benefit while others do not.
The approach of pain clinics varies, but they usually have a team of specialists including anesthetists, neurologists, psychologists, physiotherapists and nurses.
They may use a single method of treatment or several treatments to help relieve pain. The treatments may include drug therapy, relaxation, group therapy, manipulation, massage, electro-stimulation, acupuncture, acupressure, hydrotherapy, and meditation.

CANCER: DANGEROUS FOOD ADDITIVES
Author: admin
Along with the cancer-producing dietary habits we have adopted, we have developed methods of food processing, preserving and packaging that call for the addition of thousands of chemicals to our foods. When these chemicals were first created they were considered a great advance in nutritional technology, making it possible for people to enjoy foods and delicacies from different countries from all over the world. As with other contributions to industry and technology, what at first appeared to be a breakthrough welcomed by many, has resulted in worries about safety and health issues. Many additives have been banned, yet there are thousands of food contaminants still being used as the profits attained are worth more than the consumer’s health. Many of these food additives and preservatives have been linked to serious health conditions and even cancer formation. And we are still asking ourselves why cancer has become so rampant in our society.
Artificial Colourings
Most artificial colourings are synthetic chemicals that do not occur in nature. Colourings are not listed by names on labels. Because colourings are used almost solely in foods of low nutritional value (lollies, soft drinks, gelatine desserts etc.) you should simply avoid all artificially coloured foods. The use of colouring usually indicates that fruit or other natural ingredients have not been used, unless otherwise stated. A small number of dangerous food colourings are listed below, along with code names and other names that may be listed as on the packaging.
Blue No. I (Code No. 133, Brilliant Blue FCF)
Found in beverages such as soft drinks, dairy products, gelatine, desserts, cereal, lollies and baked goods. Suggestions of a small cancer risk, allergic reactions in sensitive people, asthma, hyperactivity.
Blue No. 2 (Code No. 132, Indigotine, Indigo carmine)
Found in pet food, biscuits, ice creams, baked goods, beverages and lollies. Reasonable certainty of no harm, however there is some small indication of possible brain tumour formation cancer, asthma, hyperactivity, allergic reactions.
Carbon Blacks (Code No. 153)
Currently banned in America. A black food colouring found in jam, jelly crystals and confectionary. It may be a possible cause of cancer.
Citrus Red No. 2 (Code No. 123, FD & Ñ Red No. 2)
Injected into some oranges, packet cake mix, jelly crystals, soft drinks, cereals, blackcurrant products. Studies indicate that this additive may cause cancer, asthma, hyperactivity, rashes, and malignant tumours.
Found in meat products. This additive may cause cancer, asthma, gene damage, skin reactions.
Red No. 3 (Code No. 127, Erythrosine, FD & Ñ Red No. 3)
Artificial colouring used in canned red cherries, snack foods, scotch eggs, packet trifle mix, sweets and baked goods. A possible link to breast and other cancers, hyperthyroidism, gene damage, thyroid tumours and benign tumours.
Red No. 40 (Code No. 129, Allura Red, FD & Ñ Red No. 40)
The most widely used food dye. The Unites States FDA has admitted to ‘problems’, but said evidence of harm was not ‘consistent’ or ’substantial’. It has caused tumours and cancer in mice, hyperactivity and hay fever. Used mostly in junk foods such as soft drinks, lollies, packet cake mix, jelly crystals, chocolate biscuits, sweets, gelatine desserts, sausage and pet foods.
Yellow No. 2G (Code No. 107)
Artificial colouring used in soft drinks. A widely used colouring which causes allergic reactions, primarily in aspirin-sensitive people. May also cause cancer, hyperactivity and asthma. This is labelled on food items.
Yellow No. 5 (Cod No. 102,Tartrazine, FD & Ñ Yellow No. 5)
Used in confectionary, sweet corn, soft drinks, canned peas, cheese crackers, fruit juice cordial, jam, pickles, cereal, lollies, snack foods. It may cause hyperactivity, thyroid tumours, migraines, asthma, insomnia, confusion, blurred vision, cancer.
Yellow No. 6 (Code No. I 10, Sunset Yellow FCF, FD & Ñ Yellow No. 6)
This dye may cause tumours in the adrenals and kidneys. It may also cause allergic reactions and is possibly cancer-causing. It is also linked to allergic reactions, asthma, hyperactivity, hay fever and abdominal pains. Found in beverages, fruit juice, cordials, hot chocolate mix, cereals, ice cream, packet soup, snack foods, sausages, baked goods, lollies and gelatine.
