Homeopathy Articles In NZ Sunday Star Times Ill-Informed By Ignorant Doctors

‘Kiwis Big Believers in Homeopathy’ reads the head-line of the Sunday Star Times. January 22nd, 2012.

But Homeopathy Has Been Proven.  It is not just a belief.  I will explain further on, how Homeopathy has been subjected to suppressive laws which have meant that research findings are not published in regular medical journals.

DSCO 1556

Many medical doctors use Homeopathy in their practices in New Zealand, yet one NZ doctor has been trying to get doctors banned from using Homeopathy. This is the doctor who the Sunday Star Times quote in the first of two articles on Homeopathy.  Both these articles attempt to discredit Homeopathy.  The  doctor quoted in the first article, Shaun Holt, has stated in other newspaper articles, that the reason that Homeopathy works for some people, is because of a placebo effect, and not because the chosen Homeopathic remedy has any innate power to reverse certain conditions.

But his point of view simply shows his ignorance, as does the view of the university researcher who derides Homeopathy in the second article.

In these two separate articles on Homeopathy which appear on the same page, The Sunday Star Times has come out on the side of two medical people, one a doctor, the other a university researcher, who,  in the second article, objects to the use of Homeopathic principles in a flea collar for pets.  Both these medical people  illustrate their ignorance about how Homeopathy works, and  are obviouslyignorant about the many thousands of success stories which Homeopathic science can claim.  Both these articles  in the Sunday Star Times appear at first glance to be giving Homeopathy a ‘fair go’, but on reading further, one discovers that they damn Homeopathy with faint praise.

The first article reads:  ‘Kiwis big believers in homeopathy’ –  as if homeopathy is only a placebo, something which the patient believes will help him, without there being any physiological effect from taking a Homeopathic medicine.  This, of course, is what Shaun Holt would have us believe. He has stated in previous articles that he thinks Homeopathy is ‘quackery’ and that, in the cases where it has worked, it is only because the patient has believed that it will help him.  He is one who promotes pharmacuetical drugs above all other treatments, and would,  if he could, make sure that all alternatives are banned.  Only last year, an article was published in a NZ paper which quoted Shaun Holt as saying that he thought doctors should be prohibited from using Homeopathy in their clinics.

You can bet your bottom dollar that neither Dr Shaun Holt, nor the university researcher who is quoted on the same page, will have tried a  professional Homeopathic treatment for any ailment, and nor will they have watched the progress of a patient who has been successfully treated by an experienced Homeopath over the course of an illness.  These are ‘book learned’ people who really have NO  idea what they are talking about when it comes to the effectiveness of  Homeopathy.

One has to wonder what the pay-off is for these two medical people, if any, from pharmaceutical companies behind the scenes.  Perhaps their ‘research’ is funded by the pharmaceutical companies.  This is how the big drug companies maintain their control of the health scene.  They  manage to get herbs banned, and Homeopathy and other alternative medicines discredited, through paying doctors and certain researchers  to say what they want them to say.

Some doctors are as corrupt as some people  are in any walk of life, and will take on a fight which they know is amoral just to get at the money.  Others may take on the fight unwittingly, because they are nit-wits, and not very intelligent, except that they once had the ability to learn their craft by rote, to pass their exams.  This type of doctor lacks the ability for real,  unbiased, critical analysis, and they are easily influenced by drug companies who indoctrinate them with the results of their research, which is always designed to make the pharmaceutical product look good, even when it turns out to be extremely harmful and damaging to people’s health.

Time and Time Again,  Homeopathy has cured infectious diseases, and been of great benefit to people with ailing health.  Homeopathy does not have the risk of negative side effects which pharmaceutical drugs do.  The very fact that Homeopathy is a safer alternative to drugs drives the drug companies, and many doctors, to distraction in their attempts to find fault with it.

People like Dr Shaun Holt, who are agin Homeopathic medicine, are forever coming up with the argument that ‘Homeopathy has not been proven’, but this is plain nonsense.

The reason that the value of homeopathy is kept silent, and the reason that ignorant people like Shaun Holt claim that ‘no papers have been written to validate the use of Homeopathy’, is because the drug companies in America made it illegal to publish any research on Homeopathy in medical journals, a long time ago. Homeopathy has a long history of suppression.  The result is, as these two latest articles in The Sunday Star Times illustrate, that the media generally are STILL perpetuating the myth that Homeopathy ‘does not have anything in it, and is just a belief, just quackery’.  The media is still working on the side of big business in opposing Homeopathy without allowing an expert in the field to have his say, and without divulging the results of research into Homeopathy.

Homeopathy is NOT quackery.  There are still reputable Homeopathic hospitals functioning in the UK today.  The Royal Homeopathic Hospital in London is one of them.

This movement to kill Homeopathy began after Homeopathy ‘took on’ in Europe.  The Royal family and their elite friends converted to Homeopathic medicine after its success was illustrated in Europe, when an epidemic of cholera  in the 1890’s was treated effectively with Homeopathic medicine.  Drug giants, who, in the early part of the 1900’s  were already beginning to exert their power and influence over the medical profession in the USA, and on the government via the FDA, began to vehemently oppose Homeopathic medicine, which they obviously saw as being a threat to their ever-growing empires.  A legislation was passed in the 1920’s which effectively silenced the researchers of Homeopathy, and those practitioners of the science.  This silencing of the Homeopathic fraternity occurred because the medical authorities decided that no research would be allowed to be published.

This has effectively kept the public from being properly informed about the efficacy of Homeopathy and how it works.  The effect of this censorship has been to keep Homeopathy under wraps and for it to be perceived by many as ‘quackery’.  All to the financial benefit of the pharmaceutical companies, of course.

These Sunday Star Times articles are following the patterns of old.  They discredit Homeopathy without making any attempt to explain the science of Homeopathy, and without using any of the learned articles by doctors which have been published in alternative health journals and books over the years.

The writers of these articles in last Sunday’s ‘Sunday Star Times’ are content to use the ill-informed judgement of ignorant people who portray  Homeopathy as a belief, no better than a quackery instead of a science, which only goes to serve the interests of the pharmaceutical companies yet again.

List of Natural Treatments For Arteriosclerosis

Herbal Remedies For Arteriosclerosis

DSCO 1681

Photo Taken at Dunedin Botanic Gardens, NZ,  by Merrilyn on Hollt’s Camera, December 26th 2012.

All conditions of ill health are reversible.  The main requisites in reversing illness are the belief that healing is possible, a committment to avoid the things and conditions which have caused the state of ill health, and the desire to include all the foods and herbs which will make you strong again, and which will help facilitate healing.  Of course, the earlier that you can get onto a meaningful healing programme the better.  Diseases which have been tolerated for years and years can be difficult to reverse, and may take more energy and perseverance then what you are willing to devote to a new dietary programme.  Some people are more happy to simply take the doctor’s medication and put up with the diseased condition, rather than put the effort into changing the diet and thinking positively about recovering.

But it can be done.  If you do succeed in reversing a chronic condition of  ill-health, believe me, the rewards are very very bountiful.  You not only cure the disease which is hampering your health and happiness, but you will find that your physical well being will increase so  much so, that you once again will have that ability to be effective in the community, to help other people and your family.

Important:  Visit your naturopath or ayurvedic practitioner for advice on your planned change of diet and treatment before you attempt to heal yourself of arteriosclerosis.  This is especially important if you are considering stopping any medication you may be taking.

Herbs which improve the circulation are especially good for treating arteriosclerosis.   Cholesterol lowering herbs and foods, and those which help to eliminate toxins from the blood, liver and intestines are also helpful.

The following herbs listed below all help the circulation, help detoxify the liver and intestines, and they possess other therapeutic properties – all of which can help the arteriosclerosis sufferer.  For a cure to be effected, though, it is important to look at the diet and remove the acid-forming foods as much as possible.  An alkaline diet which has an abundance of fresh salad, with adequate protein, rice instead of wheat bread and other wheat products, and minimal or no dairy products and sugar, is the best in my estimation.  Get some advice from your naturopath or ayurvedic practitioner before changing your diet, to ensure that you are using the very best foods for you.  Also, do not use the following herbs or vitamins if you are already taking medication.

Doctors often tell their patients to avoid certain foods whilst they are on a medication such as warfarin, or another blood thinner.  This is because the foods they tell you to avoid are usually the ones that will naturally thin your blood anyway.  So if you double up the effect by using the prescribed blood thinning drug AND natural herbal blood thinners in your food, you could get very very sick or even have a stroke.  The sensible thing is really to use the food and herb items which work naturally to thin the blood, and do away with the artificial synthetic drugs which do the same thing.  But drug companies have conditioned doctors into accepting this practice of putting patients onto medication for the rest of the patient’s  life – they will give these patients a blood test every week or so, to test the effectiveness of the drug they prescribed, and adjust the dose accordingly.  Yet they do not do the most sensible thing – prescribe the food items and herbs which will have the desired effect in lowering cholesterol, or in thinning the blood, and then test weekly or monthly to see how the patient is doing.  They only do these blood tests if you are on their medication, which conditions the public into believing that there is no other way.  Madness.

Acupressure On Legs To Help Circulation:  My friend Bernhard in Spirit has just given us some advice for a friend who came today to ask about natural treatments for her condition of arteriosclerosis. She has been taking Lipex, prescribed by her doctor, and this Lipex  is having an adverse effect on her health. Bernhard gave us some alternatives, with acupressure points to massage nightly on the ankle and  up the side of the lower legs, a couple around the knee, one behind the leg on the calf muscle, one at the back of the knee, and one on the upper thigh.  Just three seconds on each point.

Colour Therapy To Soothe  and Nourish The Nerves:  He also recommended sitting under a green light for 20 minutes each night before going to sleep. Note:  She has already benefitted from the massage of acupressure points and the green light for 20 minutes.  Her sleep has improved already from these two simple remedial measures.

Avoid Synthetic Blankets and Clothing:  Bernhard also said that it was important for my friend to sleep with WOOL blankets, and not to use any synthetic blankets or sheets on the bed.  This makes sense, because synthetic fibres really interfere with the circulation of the blood, and so one must avoid wearing synthetics as much as possible, and one must certainly not use synthetic duvees or covers on the bed.  Since you spend most of the night in your bed, it is important that your body be given the chance for the circulation to run as smoothly as possible without interference from electrical currents or synthetic fibres.  It was particularly interesting to get this message, as my friend said after receiving this message that she had just taken off the woollen blankets for the summer, and replaced them with  a synthetic duvee.  My friend changed the bedding back to the natural wool which has also helped her sleep better.

Important To Avoid All Alcohol, Marijuana, Caffeine and Other Drugs when beginning a cure for any chronic disease.  Arteriosclerosis will not improve too much if you continue to take any of these things. I believe that many prescription drugs can give you arteriosclerosis, as well as party drugs, smoking cigarettes, and alcohol.

Specific Herbs Foods and Vitamins for Treating  Arteriosclerosis:  Of course you will take only a selected few of these possible remedies.  You can over-do these things, and so it is important that you visit a health professional such as a naturapath, homeopath, or ayurvedic practitioner for advice before beginning an alternative treatment for arteriosclerosis.

Alfalfa

Beetroot

Birch Leaf

Calcium Ascorbate Vitamin C – 1000 mg once or twice a day depending on the severity of the condition you are treating.  Reduce the dose if the bowels are working overtime.  But it is a good thing to clear out the bowels initially, before reducing the dose.  Poisons in the intestines are the root cause of any disease, so the saying goes.  Vitamin C has the power to break down calcified deposits and heal the capilliaries.  Taking calcium ascorbate or Ester C are good options when you need to take larger doses of Vitamin C, as these are non-acidic and do not affect the digestion adversely.

Vitamin C helps to prevent heart attack and stroke – It is a natural blood thinner and acutally strengthens the capilliary walls.  It helps to remove cholesterol.  It helps to negate poisons and remove them quickly from the blood stream, liver and intestines.  If it is used regularly as part of treatment, it helps to break down deposits anywhere in the body, whether it be in the veins, the liver, or other organs.

Capsicum – All members of the pepper family, which means fresh sweet peppers, bell peppers, fresh or dried chilli peppers, powdered cayenne pepper, powdered paprika pepper.  Peppers are just the best for improving the circulation.

Celery – Raw celery used daily is very good.  Try to get organically grown celery if you can.  Celery seed can be used as a condiment or made into tea with thyme, rosemary or lemon balm.

Chaparral  (Larrea divaricata):  Chaparral is a powerful antioxidant and cleansing herb.  It is used in many alternative cancer treatments to break up tumours of all kinds.  Chaparral also acts as a pain killer, and has antibiotic and antiseptic qualities.  It is a very useful herb to remove drug residues and deposits, such as LSD and marijuana, from people’s livers and brain tissues.  Louise Tenney claims that it has been used to counteract the effects of LSD.

Chickweed

Chicory – Cichorium intybus.  A good herb to help the condition of arteriosclerosis.  Like Dandelion, Chicory can be used as a substitute for coffee.  It is rich in Vitamins A, C, B, K and P.  It is a great cleanser of the blood and the kidneys.  It helps rheumatic conditions, arthritis, gout, and sore joints.  It is thought to help gall-stones to dissolve.

Comfrey Tea

Couch Grass

Fenugreek:  Fenugreek is a common component of Indian cooking.  It is a valuable cleansing herb which is capable of dissolving build-ups of calcium and other material in the blood vessels or anywhere in the body.  It is commonly used in natural treatments for cancer and other life-threatening diseases in combination with other remedies.  One report on-line states that 3/4 cup of fenugreek daily, taken for 20 days, has helped cure some people of arteriosclerosis.  This is quite a lot, and I would assume you would take it in divided doses throughout the day.  However, we are not told what else these people were doing to assist the cure, if anything at all.  And we are not told how far the disease had progressed – perhaps these people had not had the disease for too long, in which case it would have been fairly easy to reverse.

If you were taking this much fenugreek, you would not need any other herbs to compliment the fenugreek, in my opinion.  I should think that this treatment would be most effective if a diet of alkaline fruits and vegetables were eaten during the period of cleansing, with no meat or dairy foods  or wheat for the 20 day period.  I would follow a complete vegetarian diet using vegetables and  brown rice, with complete avoidance of  sugar,  bread, wheat and dairy foods.  And enemas to help quickly eliminate those poisons  always hurries up the healing process.  But ASK YOUR HEALTH PROFESSIONAL FOR ADVICE before beginning the intensive fenugreek treatment.  Fenugreek is safe to take in moderation as an addition to the normal daily diet, of course.  From two capsules to six capsules a day is considered a moderate dose.

Note:  A friend of mine is currently doing the Fenugreek cleansing treatment in combination with 1000mg to 2000mg calcium ascorbate Vitamin C per day.  She is munching through 3/4 cup soaked Fenugreek seeds per day, which have got to the sprouting stage after soaking.  She stopped taking the  prescribed  Lipex medication which was causing headaches, poor memory and other things, and is now feeling a lot better on the Fenugreek plus Vitamin C in the form of calcium ascorbate.  She eats salads with every meal and is vegetarian but uses yoghurt and cheese and chick peas for extra protein.  I find that, having experimented with the Fenugreek, that you need to UP your calcium intake in your food if you are taking large amounts of Fenugreek to dissolve deposits in the veins, liver or kidneys. Fenugreek dissolves calcium deposits in the blood but can leave you a bit short of dietary calcium.   But calcium supplements are best avoided – take a bit more cooked cabbage, which is very high in natural calcium, free range egg yolks, or organic milk or cheese  if it agrees with you – or SESAME SEEDS which are the highest vegetable calcium source.  The calcium in your food will counteract the tendency for the Fenugreek to whip away too much calcium from your body.  Treat it as you would rhubarb, which does the same thing – include calcium rich proteins with it so that calcium is not depleted. DO SEE YOUR DOCTOR OR NATUROPATH BEFORE BEGINNING ANY NEW TREATMENT OR STOPPING YOUR MEDICATION.  GENERALLY SPEAKING, YOU CANNOT USE PRESCRIPTION MEDICINES AND NATURAL CURES TOGETHER AS THIS IS DOUBLING UP ON TREATMENT AND COULD BE DANGEROUS – I AM NOT ADVISING YOU FOLLOW THESE TREATMENTS  WITHOUT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.

Garlic

Ginger – Use dried ginger in cooking, and freshly grated ginger or powdered ginger to make tea.  One teaspoon of fresh grated ginger with a cup of boiling water added is a  very good digestive which also helps the circulation.

Hawthorne This is one of the most popular herbal remedies for arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure and as a general heart tonic.  It is mildly sedative and has a favourable effect on all manner of heart troubles.  However, do not take it if you are already taking some medication for your illness.  Consult your doctor or naturopath first to see if Hawthorne can be added to your dietary regime.

Parsley

Psyllium Hulls

Rutin:  This has a similar beneficial effect to Vitamin C on the circulatory system.  It helps to heal and strengthen the capilliary walls and to encourage better circulation.

Taheebo (Pau d’Arco):  This is another cancer herb which acts as an antibiotic. This is one of the best remedies for treating candida and chemical poisoning.  It helps break down deposits and tumours and kills viruses, and  is excellent for building up the immune system.  Louise Tenney says in her 1980’s book that it is used in some South American hospitals to treat infections.

Orange Olive Oil Drink For Gall Bladder Bowel Cleanse

This is a  great natural remedy to cure a bout of  constipation and for clearing toxins from the digestive system.  It is a variation on the lemon juice and olive oil therapy, which also  helps to  dissolve  small gall stones, and to prevent them from forming.  The standard lemon cure is more acidic and less sweet than using orange, which might make it  more powerful in its cleansing effect.  However, this milder variation which uses orange juice instead, is still a good alternative.  If you are a normal healthy person, and you are not on any medication, then the orange olive oil drink could be safely taken once or twice a week.

Note:  If you think you have gall stones and are experiencing pain, then you should visit your doctor or naturopath for advice before trying this remedy.  This is a safe treatment for constipation, but self treatment for gall stones is not recommended unless you have had professional advice on the matter.  People with chronic candida should also seek professional advice before trying out the orange olive oil drink.

The action of the orange olive oil drink is, like the lemon treatment, similar to the effect of castor oil in its cleansing properties.  It helps to release toxins and to eliminate candida yeasts from the digestive tract, as well as helping to break down and expell small gall stones.  Unlike taking castor oil, the  orange olive oil mixture is actually quite pleasant to take.

For best results, it is bet to take the orange and olive oil drink as soon as you get up in the morning. It is also best to drink only fluids such as the fermented wheat drink or fruit or vegetable juice at least  for the morning.  The recipe for the  home made fermented wheat lactobacilli drink is a post or two before this post.  Drink a glass of either the wheat drink or fruit juice, or eat a piece of fruit, on the hour every hour  through the day until you eat a light meal in the evening. If you feel up to it, doing the whole day on just the raw food and drinks is beneficial.

The recipe for the orange olive oil drink is this:

Take a large cup.  In it put 4  full tablespoons of virgin olive oil. Squeeze out the juice of one juicy orange and pour thison the top of the olive oil.  You need an equivalent amount of orange juice as the olive oil.  Whip the two together.  Top up with near boiling water and whisk this into the mixture.  Drink the lot immediately in one dose.

Lightly massage the stomach area around the solar plexus with a gentle circular motion.  This is good to do several times in the day after taking the orange and olive oil, as it helps the gall bladder to release toxins and stale bile.

Using an enema on the days when you take the orange and olive oil is helpful in cleansing the intestines.  You can also use a castor oil pack over the solar plexus area, and leave it on for at least three hours.  Using the pack does not need to stop you going about your normal daily activities.  Just soak a piece of flannel or linen about 6 inches by 12 inches in about three tablespoons of castor oil.  Fold the flannel into two, making a square, and put this directly onto the stomach, over the solar plexus area.  Put a piece of clear plastic over this, and then either a bandage or some firm clothing which will hold the pack in place.  If you have the time, you can increase the healing detox effect of the olive oil treatment and the castor oil pack by lying down for half an hour with a hot water bottle placed over the pack.

How To Make Home Made Lactobacilli-Rich Sauerkraut Pickled Cabbage

Recipe for Gluten Free Fermented Vegetable Sauerkraut.  Sauerkraut, when it is made properly, is full of goodness.  It is a Vitamin-rich and Mineral-rich antiseptic and cleansing food.  Eating Sauerkraut regularly can help greatly in gaining an equilibrium of  organisms necessary for good digestion and bowel function.  The Germans traditionally make Sauerkraut, but other cultures have something similar.  Korean restaurants in Auckland all serve up the delicious Kum Chi  with their famous Bulgogi and other delectables:  Kum Chi  is really a kind of pickled cabbage, similar to Sauerkraut. This is just as healthy for the digestion.  Note how beautifully slim most Korean people are in Auckland, and how flawless and lovely their complexions.  This, I believe, is due to their healthy macrobiotic diet which consists of a variety of vegetables, and the fermented Kum Chi which goes with everything.

Sauerkraut was traditionally made to preserve the cabbage so that it was available in the heart of the winter, when the snow was about in Europe, and few fresh vegetables were to be seen.

Because sauerkraut  is a fermented product, it contains the  acidophilus bacteria, which is beneficial to the bowel health.  Acidophilus  helps to process other enzymes and vitamins in the intestines.  Acidophilus bacteria help to counteract the troublesome candida albicans yeast which also grows in the intestines.  However, initially, if you have a candida problem which is difficult to clean up, it is best to avoid all fermented foods until your system has strengthened a little.  This usually happens if the diet is made plentiful in the  alkaline cleansing foods such as raw celery, alfalfa sprouts if they are very fresh, fresh lettuce, and plenty of  protein foods.  Once the condition has responded, then it should be OK to introduce the lactobacilli rich fermented foods again.  Some people  cannot tolerate yeasts of any kind at all, even the beneficial ones, so keep this in mind if you have a problem with yeast.

However,  Sauerkraut may not be best for everyone:  If you have a chronic yeast problem, caused by an over-growth of candida albicans,  then it is best to avoid fermented foods for a while, until your digestive system has normalized itself.  For some people who have only mild symptoms of candidiasis, using sauerkraut might serve to help detoxify the bowel.  Ask your naturopath or ayurvedic practitioner, or homeopath about this.

Sauerkraut is also abundant in Vitamin B12. This vitamin is found mainly in flesh foods  eggs,  and yeast products.  Vitamin B12 is not found  in many vegetable foods unless the fermentation process has been applied.  However, the broad-leafed green leaves such as spinach, silver beet and comfrey all contain some Vitamin B12.

Sauerkraut has abundant Vitamin C – another reason for eating Sauerkraut regularly through the winter.

And Sauerkraut is rich in Calcium and Iodine – two essential ingredients for the keeping of good health.

All in all, Sauerkraut is a promoter of good health, and is strengthening to the immune system.

Here is a recipe for making Home Made Sauerkraut:

Basic Ingredients:  Cabbage, Dried Thyme, Dried Dill, Juniper Berries,Carraway Seeds, and a sprinkling of Sea salt.  Eydie Mae’s recipe does not use any salt but uses kelp instead, though she does not give the amount she uses.  Do not use commercially prepared free running salt in your Sauerkraut, as this contains harmful additives to prevent it becoming moist.

If you like a hot pickle, then you can put in a chopped chilli or two as well.  If you remove the seeds from the chillis the result is not so hot.  Remove the seeds before chopping up the chillis.

Finely chop up one fresh red or green cabbage. Put a layer of your chopped cabbage in an earthenware urn, about 6 inches deep.  Then sprinkle over a few juniper berries, a quarter teaspoon each of the dried herbs, and a light sprinkle of sea salt. Now put over a layer of any of the following, or a mixture of these vegetables:

A grated carrot, a chopped red or green pepper, a chopped red or white onion, and a grated beetroot.  These vegetables are optional:  Choose the ones you prefer, although you will have a real cocktail of the range of vitamins and minerals if you use some of each.

Now put more cabbage onto the chosen extra vegetables, and repeat the process.  Continue latering in this way, pressing down the vegetables as you go, and putting the herbs and a wee sprinkle of sea salt in between the layers.  When you have reached the top of the jar, you need to weight it down with a plate which has a heavy stone on it. Put a clean piece of muslin over the top of the prepared Sauerkraut, with the plate and the weight on top of this.  The weight is necessary so that the vegetables mature in their own juice.  This is essential in making Sauerkraut.

Now put your jar in a coolish place no hotter than room temperature.  Leave for three weeks, but rinse out the cloth each week before placing it over the sauerkraut again.

After three weeks the Sauerkraut should be ready.  Some people prefer to eat it after only a week, but you can prolong the fermentation to three weeks if you wish. Remove the cloth and any mould which has formed on the top.  Bottle into wide necked jars and store in the refridgerator.

 

Home Made Lactobacillus Drink Helps Treat And Prevent Cancer and Arthritis

Natural Enzyme Rich Remedy For Constipation – This is a  fermented wheat drink recipe which Dr Ann Wigmore used in her  famous alternative treatment for cancer. When the bowels retain toxins, these toxins are absorbed into the blood stream, and eventually build up in parts of the body, causing cancer, arthritis, and other degenerative diseases.

Remember, though, that this drink is made with wheat, and is not gluten free – So this will be no good for gluten sensitive people. It is no good for yeast-sensitive people either.   If you are border-line, gluten sensitive  and can tolerate oats, then you might find that this lacto drink may be OK to use once in a while.  I am yeast senstive, and wheat sensitve.  I can use this fermented drink  for around three days in a row, but then the trouble starts.  After the first day, taking this drink did enhance my health, but then I became yeast sensitive again and had to stop taking the drink. The yeasts were making me feel drunk and quite disconnected with the world after three days.

Many famous holistic healers have used similar  fermented foods and drinks to help reverse diseases such as cancer and arthritis, and to help prevent disease occuring.  All disease stems from the intestines, as the saying goes. To facilitate  healing, it is essential that the intestines are cleaned out of toxic matter.  Clean intestines means better absorption of essential food components. This  home made Lactobacillus wheat drink helps detoxify the intestines, and is rich in the healthy organisms and enzymes, as well as B vitamins, which are all needed for good bowel function and absorption.  It  is a great drink for promoting good health.

The yeasts which thrive in this fermented wheat drink are similar to Brewer’s yeast, which is rich in B vitamins, iron and enzymes.  Properly fermented beer has all these qualities too,  but the home made lactobacillus wheat drink has the advantage of being non-alcoholic.

Eydie Mae wrote a book with Chris Loeffler called ‘How I Conquered Cancer Naturally’.  Eydie recovered from cancer using the Lactobacillus drink she calls ‘Rejuvelac’ – a name coined, I think, by Dr Ann Wigmore, who also treated her own cancer naturally and successfully with wheat grass juice, raw foods, enemas and the Lactobacillus ‘Rejuvelac’ drink.  Eydie is a real fan of the Lactobacillus wheat drink which is filled with life-giving enzymes.  She says that the German researcher Dr Kuhl, who worked on occasion with Dr AnnWigmore, said that “The natural lactic acid and fermentive enzymes which are produced during the fermentation process have a beneficial effect on the metabolism and a curative effect on disease.”

Another doctor whom she quotes is Chemical Engineer Dr Harvey C. Lisle, an American graduate from the University of Ohio.  He ran tests on the fermented wheat drink according to the instructions given below, and found it to be ‘undoubtedly rich in p[roteins, saccharines, phosphates, lactobacilli, saccharomyces and aspergillus oryzae’.  The aspergillus oryzae have an important function in that they form Amylases in the bowel, which are important for the break down of glucose, starch and glycogens, which is why this drink is so good for digestion.

Recipe For Home Made Lactobacillus Drink:  Eydie Mae recommends that one litre, or one quart, should be drunk each day if you are treating serious disease such as cancer. This recipe will make one litre of lactobacillus drink.The same  wheat is re-used for up to a week.  The lactobacterium content in the drink is increased when the wheat is re-used.  It is most potent around the third to fourth day of using the same wheat. After a week, the wheat should be discarded and new wheat used.  You can take a cupful of the older drink from the fridge to help start the fermentation off in the new lot of wheat.

Take 2 cups of organic unprocessed wheat.  Soak overnight in 6 to 8 cups of spring water.  Next morning,  drain off the liquid into a jug.  You can start drinking this right away.  Try to use the whole of the drink in the day, taking it in several doses a cup at a time.

Now put 6 to 8 more cups of water onto the wheat and leave to soak for 24 hours.  During the day, try to remember to stir the soaking wheat a couple of times. Next day, do the same again – Drain off and reserve the liquid.  Put 6 more cups of water onto the wheat. Repeat the process, leaving for 24 hours, stirring a couple of times a day, and draining the next morning.  Continue this process for 6 to 7 days.  Then start with fresh new wheat.

Once you get into the routine, making your own lactobacillus drink is very easy to do.

Eydie Mae alternated fruit juice drink, or vegetable juice, with the lactobacillus fermented wheat drink.   That would be about six cups of fruit or vegetable juice per day, as well as  6 to 8 cups of fermented lacto drink.  She did not drink any water at all.  Just juices and the fermented lactobacillus.

Restorative Lactobacilli Enema For Cancer and other Disease:  Half a cup of the lactobacilli  drink, as made above, can be put into a cup and a half of warm water and used as an enema.  This puts the lactobacilli straight into the bowel, where it has an immediate effect in cleansing toxins and in restoring the balance of lactobacilli.  This is a very helpful therapy in cases of degenerative conditions which need to be reversed quickly, such as cancer.
