Horseradish has a favourable effect on the lymph and is one of the best remedies available. Often the most stubborn disorders and ailments of the lymphatic system disappear when a teaspoon of horseradish is taken daily. It is very tasty and less pungent when mixed with cottage cheese or finely grated carrots.

If we look closely at these laws, we should find that they are beneficial to our health, whether we realise this or not. The obedient observation of the divine commandments can act only for the protection and good of the individual. The person who refuses to take blood in any form into his body, whether for the sake of his obedience to God’s command or for reasons of health, will receive an increasing amount of support and recognition as time goes on and research progresses, confirming the validity of his conviction.

First of all, I realise that not everyone is familiar with sauerkraut, made from white cabbage, or knows how to prepare it. For this reason I have given the recipe later on in this book. When making your own sauerkraut, be careful to use the minimum of salt but do not hesitate to add herbs and spices such as marjoram, thyme, juniper berries and especially mustard seed, which help to preserve the sauerkraut. Sauerkraut is very high in calcium and has great medicinal value when eaten raw.

In order to increase the calcium content and actually make a calcium preparation, mix ground eggshells with the sauerkraut; add half a soupspoon of eggshell powder to each kilogram (2.2 lbs) of sauerkraut. You can also use washed oyster shell powder instead (obtainable from chemist shops or drugstores). Mix the powder with the shredded raw cabbage in the same way you would do with the herbs. The process of fermentation will then produce tural calcium lactate, which is readily assimilated. If you prepare a small wooden barrel of this ‘calcium sauerkraut’ every year, you will find that, by eating it regularly, in a year or two there will be no calcium deficiency in your family.

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.

If your nervous system is very delicate, with a tendency to tension, and you suffer from asthma, it may well be that the cause is your weak nerves. In this case it will be clear that in order to cure this form of asthma it will first be necessary to treat the nerves.
