TREATMENT OF PULMONARY DISEASES (FRESH RAW; FOODS)
Plenty of fresh raw vegetables should be served daily. Always dress salads with lemon juice, never with vinegar.
The intake of protein foods must be reduced. On the other hand, natural culinary herbs that stimulate the appetite are recommended. An easily assimilated calcium preparation is essential. I have always seen excellent results when patients have taken the calcium complex Urticalcin and herbs rich in silica, such as Gale-opsis. In this connection Usnea, the moss or lichen found on larch trees, deserves special mention. The animals of the forest make good use of its tonic properties for the lungs and we, too, should take it to combat weakness of the respiratory organs. If you find it difficult to chew the fresh lichen, take it regularly as a tea or, for even greater effect, take the fresh plant extract, Usneasan. Plants like Usnea or Galeopsis are, in a sense, not medicinal but nutritional plants and bear out Hippocrates’ principle that ‘Food’ shall be medicine and medicine shall be food’. In reality, then, remedies from the plant kingdom are curative foods. Do not forget cod-liver oil or cod-liver oil emulsions; these are of great benefit and to be recommended if the patient can take them.
