Round-Up Poison Causes Sudden Toxic Reactions

Agricultural Poison Causes Sudden Rash, Swollen Legs, Bone Aches, Ear Ache, Kidney Infection, and Dizziness. 29 January 2013.

Our local council has just done its rounds of ‘Round-Up’ weedkiller, an herbicide which is widely used in New Zealand to kill roadside weeds and weeds along footpaths and around parks. Every six weeks or so, this seems to be the routine, and down here in this little country town where I now reside, it seems that nobody objects to this routine poisoning of our parks and streets which is done without warning.

Children and animals are at great risk from the laying of this poison around the park down the road, and around the streets. And people who live in council flats, such as myself, are especially vulnerable to this poison called Round-Up, because the council comes and sprays the stuff within a metre of our houses.

We have been told for years by councils and farmers, who also use the stuff very liberally, that Round-Up is not toxic to humans in the amounts we are exposed to. They believe also that the stuff ‘breaks down within a few weeks’. I am not a scientist, but I can still taste the stuff in dandelion greens and other edibles, growing within a foot or two of the spray-line, even after six weeks or longer.

Of course the idea that Round Up has no bad effect on humans, or bees, or birds, or pets, is a fallacy: This story is a yarn spun by the chemical companies who profit from the selling of it, and adopted by councils, farmers and householders alike, because this herbicide poison is just so convenient, since it saves a lot of work, and a lot of money. The people who use it and profit from its use do not want to think too much about the possible harmful effects of the stuff.

There is plenty of evidence to show that Round-Up is NOT the harmless herbicide that it is claimed to be.

Both times the council have sprayed around our houses, I have had a sudden occurence of ear ache, dizziness, with bone pain which came on the day after the spraying. This was followed a day or so later with terrible back pain which accompanied a sudden kidney infection. My urine smelled strange, and the left kidney area was painful. I felt dizzy and had stomach cramps.

I realized it was the Round Up poison which had brought on these sudden symptoms, and took homeopathic Thuja immediately to counteract the toxic herbicide. I took the Thuja three or four times a day for three days. This helped. When the back pain appeared, I also took 2000 mg of Vitamin C to get rid of the kidney infection el pronto. I also drank copious amounts of boiled water – about a glassful every two hours for the first twelve hours.

The interesting thing was that my friend suffered similar symptoms, as well as a severe rash, at the same time as I had these ailments.

Here is how the recent spraying just five days ago, on Thursday, affected my friend:

The day after the spraying, my elderly friend, who lives in an apartment which she owns, but which is run by the council, went out into her garden to do some gardening. She did not realize that the council had been the day before and sprayed the verges of all the footpaths around the houses, just as they had done at my house, as well as the borders of her gardens, and a corner area which was a little overgrown. She spent the morning tackling the weeds in the corner, unsuspecting of the danger she had put herself in. She was wearing sandals and knee-length trousers, so that her legs were exposed.

The following day, when I called in on her, she was in a bad way. Her legs were considerably swollen with a bright, angry red rash all over the calves. It looked like hives, only much worse. She was complaining of chronic earache and said she felt dizzy. I told her about the spraying, and said that she must avoid doing any gardening for a few days. We bathed her legs and did some healing on them. I suggested that she go down to the doctor’s, in case septocaemia should set in, but she decided not to do this.

Next day, on the Sunday, her legs were better after the treatment we had done. The earache was gone, and the redness of the rash had disappeared, although she still had welts which looked like the remains of hives, like little blisters. On the Monday, she decided that the sprayed areas might be safe, and went back into her garden to clean it up. By this time, the area in the corner was browned off after the spraying. But the stuff was still potent. It brought the rash up again. I visited her in the afternoon and her legs were almost as red as they had been on the Saturday.

I knew it was the Round Up spray again, because I had been out after dark, barefoot, to put out milk for the hedgehog. The soles of my feet burnt so badly after walking on the lawn, I had to wash them again to rid them of the poison. That was four days after the spraying.

Round-Up is NOT a safe poison to be spraying around our gardens, our parks, our footpaths. Auckland City Council, before it became the great amalgamation that it is now, used to use just hot water on the edge of its grass verges. This is the method all councils should adopt, unless they give people more jobs to actually go around and physically manicure the edges of all green areas.

Note: Homeopathic Thuja is invaluable for antidoting environmental poisons, as well as being useful to counteract the bad effects of vaccination. I use it whenever I am exposed to poisons such as Round Up, along with Vitamin C in non-acidic form.

Note: More concentrated spraying was done in and around our town and yards, by the council, on Friday the 1st March, 2013. It was also done 2 weeks before that, as well as the spraying which occurred around 28th January 2013. Of course, it was done before that time, but I have only just begun to record the instances of spraying round-up, or similar herbicides, in our town, from the date of 29th January, 2013.

More Spraying Done Causing Illness At Easter: Spraying was done just prior to Easter, about the Tuesday before Good Friday, as I remember. I was out when they did this, but the evidence was there when I returned. As well, strong insecticide was sprayed to kill a wasps’ nest outside my door on the same day the herbicide was sprayed around. The effect of both these sprays – an herbicide and an insecticide – put me out of action for a few days. Dizziness, depression with much crying, and a piercing headache at the top of my scull on the left side was the result, especially on Good Friday and Saturday. Difficulty breathing, heart palpitations and a soaring temperature with red flushed cheeks were also symptoms of spray exposure. I felt so awful I thought about death and how I could hurry it up. By Sunday the depression was gone, but my energy levels were so incredibly low, and the pains in my heart so intense, I felt I would collapse. I managed to play the pipe organ for Easter Sunday Church, but it was touch and go as to whether I would fall off my seat or not.

It is around two weeks now since the last spraying was done just before Easter, April 2013. I am recovering with the help of vitamins, herbs, and homeopathy. The heart palpitations and pain disappeared within a few days after Easter, as did the breathlessness and feeling as if my diaphragm had ceased its lung action. But energy levels are still chronically low.

These sprays, I believe, have a deleterious effect on the health of almost everyone who comes in contact with them. But few doctors seem to be aware of this, and few are interested in documenting the effects of sprays on people. Most people who are already aware of the toxic effects of sprays, like myself, do not use doctors as a rule, so these spraying ‘incidents’ go unreported. And what is the point, after a spraying ‘incident’ which affects the health dramatically, in paying a doctor in the hope that they will take up the challenge to investigate the devastating effects of toxic sprays on people’s health? Proving the point could be a costly business.

Keeping a record of these spraying dates might give people an idea about how much they are being exposed to these poisons.

Useful Homeopathic Remedies For Measles

Childhood Illnesses And How Homeopathy Can Be Used As An Alternative To Vaccination or Immunization.

It is worth keeping in mind that vaccinations do not always work. Some common childhood illnesses have developed strains which are resistant to vaccination antibiotics. And sometimes complications can arise from vaccinations or immunizations as they are called.

I stopped having my children vaccinated after I witnessed my first-born child suffering dreadfully because of vaccination/immunization injections.

Unhappily, I agreed to the first standard vaccination at 3 months old, after which his skin became reddened and blotchy, his little body swelled slightly, and he cried all the time because of digestion troubles. These symptoms took several weeks to subside.

He had returned to a normal sleeping pattern, the swelling gone down, and the crying stopped, by the time the plunket nurse came around to our country home to give him the second shot at only 6 months old. She had insisted that there was no other way to protect my child, other than to vaccinate, and that being in the country we needed to do this very urgently. Again, sensing that this was NOT the right way to go about protecting my child’s health, I let her in to give my bub his second shot. Same thing happened, only worse this time. It was obvious that he had stomach pains as a result of the injection. He swelled out as if he had water retention, and his skin became reddened again. He cried for long periods at night and his sleeping pattern was again disturbed. It took a longer period for his health to return to normal after the second dose of the immunization medicine.

So when the plunket nurse turned up at the door again, when my baby was 9 months old, I had made my mind up that no child of mine would ever be vaccinated again. My family, after that, had not even a tetanus injection. Instead of relying on these antibiotic vaccinations, I read and read and read as much as I could about homeopathy, vitamins, colour therapy, herbs, and natural diets. I also developed the use of the pendulum to help me select just the right homeopathic remedy for any suspected condition.

Mind you, it was always good to know that the hospital was available to us should anything go wrong. A couple of times, when my youngest son had a midnight attack of croup, or whooping cough, we set off for the hospital in the middle of the night. But we were spared the necessity of visiting the hospital after all: I had already given him homeopathic Drosera just before leaving home, with Vitamin D and A rich Halibut liver oil capsules, and these remedies suddenly did the trick as we drove along in the car, as we headed for the hospital. His breathing became as regular as any healthy child after 5 minutes or 10, and so we turned the car around and went home again.

Measles, Mumps and Chickenpox can all be treated effectively with homeopathy, if the right remedy is given. But because it can take some skill to choose the right remedy, I do not suggest that you simply decide not to vaccinate and hope for the best with your selections. You really need to have an experienced homeopath handy if you have no experience in using homeopathy. So – see your doctor, herbalist, naturopath or professional homeopath in the event of any childhood illness.

However, the following remedies, taken from Dr Stephenson’s book entitled ‘Helping yourself With Homeopathic Remedies’, may be used as guidelines to help you to learn more about homeopathy in the treatment of measles:

For measles with sudden fever use Aconite or Sulphur. You can start off with the Aconite, using a few drops of homeopathic Aconite every fifteen minutes for around 6 doses if the fever persists. As the fever subsides, you stop using the remedy, or perhaps give just one dose per day. Aconite, if used just for the first day or two, can be followed by homeopathic Sulphur, just one or two doses per day of the standard over-the-counter potency. I used to use the 6C, but the common potency these days is the 30C.

Homeopathic Sulphur, or Arsen alb, are useful remedies to use when the itching and burning sensation of the skin may be a problem. The itching may begin after a few days, so you could switch to homeopathic Sulphur, or Arsen alb, after the initial Aconite has begun to work.

Bryonia is a wonderful remedy for bronchial complaints, and this can be used if bronchial troubles set in as a complication of the measles. Drosera is another great one I would recommend for bronchial troubles, which actually isn’t mentioned in the list which Dr Stephenson gives. Don’t forget that Vitamin A to help overcome the infection. Vitamin A and D, found in Halibut Liver Oil capsules, is very good in combatting lung infections.For small children, I would bite the capsules open and squirt the contents into my babe’s mouth, swallowing the remains of the capsule myself. I sometimes used around 4 or 5 of these in one dose, repeating the same around an hour later if the infection persisted, and then no more. You can overdose on these vitamins if they are used for a prolonged period. So no more than two of these bigger doses, to be on the safe side.

Unicef Are Using Vitamin A as part of a measles prevention campaign in Syria. At last, Vitamin A has earned its place in orthodox medicine. It was always there, as physicians of old used to prescribe cod liver oil for everything. But drug companies, and modern trends to ignore the remedies of old, put Vitamin A in cod liver oil in the back of the cupboard. Now it is in the forefront again. Praise Be.

Possible Homeopathy For Meningitis If Vaccinations Don’t Work

Homeopathy And Vitamin C Therapy

Sadly, a young girl has just died of Meningococcal disease in Wellington, New Zealand. She was only twelve. She had been vaccinated for the disease, but succumbed to it anyway. Which poses the question: How long ago, I wonder, was she vaccinated for Meningitis, and is it possible that she succumbed to the disease BECAUSE she had been vaccinated?

Alternatives to Vaccination should be being explored by doctors all over the world. And we hope that the drug companies do not get to patent ‘natural’ remedies so that they can make a profit from such simple remedies as Vitamin C, and Homeopathy.

Merrilyn’s new book is available on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.ca/Cancer-And-Good-Health-Notebook-ebook/dp/B01DHMH6DG

Many doctors and hospitals, backed by drug companies who lay down the law on these things, are reluctant to use alternative therapies such as Homeopathy and Vitamin C treatment. Even when patients are dying in hospital, when vaccinations and antibiotics have not worked, and the patient has been given up for dead, they will give every excuse for NOT trying Vitamin C therapy. Homeopathic treatments are not used either, because drug companies do not want any competition for their pharmaceutical drugs which make them trillions of dollars of profit every year.

A case of swine flu in 2012, Auckland, New Zealand proved that hospitals are beholden to the drug companies and will do anything to avoid using an alternative therapy to the one provided by the drug companies. They would rather let a person die than to use any alternative remedy which might save that person’s life. Because, if they use an alternative which works when their antibiotics have failed, then people will question the value of antibiotics and vaccinations. The drug companies do not want people to question their methods. Legal drugs are big business, not only for the pharmaceutical companies, but for the whole of the medical profession.

Vitamin C Can Kill Viral Illnesses, as well as Bacterial Illnesses: In 2010, a man who had swine flu was being treated in an Auckland hospital. Antibiotics were failing, and the man’s life was nearing its end. Nurses had been instructed to take him off life support and to let him die. Luckily, his family were present, and they did not allow this to happen. They asked for Vitamin C to be administered in megadoses, as they had heard that Vitamin C could cure swine flu, as well as many other infectious diseases, if it is given in megadoses. The hospital refused, saying that Vitamin C would not work, and the man would die anyway. The family said “If you don’t give him Vitamin C, and he dies, then we will sue you.” So, after a prolonged and tense debate, the hospital gave the man the Vitamin C, and he recovered.

I believe that megadoses of Vitamin C should be given to children suspected of having Meningococcal Disease. Even before the disease has been analyzed properly, Vitamin C could be safely given. Since it can kill both viral and bacterial infections, it is the best measure to take if you are not sure what the disease is. The diagnosis of the girl who died of Meningococcal disease on Monday is still given as ‘suspected meningitis’, according to television news on Wednesday, which gives an indication of the uncertainty around her disease.

Consequently, while the ‘word is out’ about Vitamin C curing swine flu and other infectious diseases, most doctors would not have any idea what homeopathic remedies might be effective in treating a case of cholera, or whooping cough, swine flu, or anything else. Doctors have been largely kept ignorant about how to use Homeopathy, and indeed, most of them think that Homeopathy does not work, because the myth that homeopathy does not work has been perpetuated by the drug companies since about 1920. “There is nothing in it”, they say.

How Homeopathy Was Suppressed By Powerful Drug Companies: In the 1920’s, the American drug companies sought to silence homeopathic doctors, by getting government agencies such as the FDA to make it illegal for any practicing doctor to publish any research whatever on homeopathy. ALL RESEARCH FINDINGS, AND PROVINGS OF THE HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES, WERE FORBIDDEN TO BE PUBLISHED IN ANY MEDICAL JOURNAL, OR ANY OTHER PUBLICATION.

This wiped out the main competition to the drug companies empire building. Many homeopathic hospitals and teaching schools in America were closed down, and doctors who still practiced homeopathy were declared to be ‘quacks’.

However, in England, homeopathy did not suffer such a tragic fate. Everyone has heard of the Royal Homeopathic Hospital in London. Until recently, there were around 20 Homeopathic hospitals operating over the United Kingdom. Difficult economic times has led to the closure of many of these hospitals, as well, I think, as the declining knowledge about Homeopathy. Drug companies fiercely promote their medicines world-wide: They have the money behind them to promote and sell their pharmaceuticals. Whereas homeopathy is not ‘patented’ by anyone: There is no money to be made out of Homeopathy. The idea with Homeopathy is that you do not put people ‘on’ to medications for life, essentially so that you can profit from them. Generally speaking, in homeopathy, you treat the person until they get well, in which case there is no reason to keep taking a medicine anymore.

The Royal family were great supporters and believers of homeopathy. The Queen Mother used it all her life and lived to be 101. (A friend of mine said, when I told him about the Queen Mother – “Well – imagine – she might have lived to be a hundred and ten if she hadn’t used all that stuff! – It might have ruined her health.” A joke, of course)

Alternatives To Vaccination: Vitamin C and Homeopathy. Vitamin C is well-known as a prophylactic and a remedy for infectious diseases. But Homeopathy works in preventing and curing illness too, if the right remedy can be found.

Some Homeopathic Remedies Which Might Be Effective In Cases Of Meningococcal Disease:

Dr John H. Clarke, M.D. suggests several remedies for meningitis in his book ‘The Prescriber’. These remedies have specific potencies which actually have to be made up by a homeopathic chemist. They might be of interest to some doctors who wish to explore homeopathic alternatives to antibiotics and other drugs. Some of these Homeopathic remedies which Dr Clarke recommends are:

Arnica 1, 1h. if the meningitis is due to a bang on the head,

Aconite 3, 1h when the patient has become fearful, anxious, restless, and has dry skin and is thirsty.

Belladonna 3, 1h. for when the patient is delirius, trying to run away, with flushed face and dilated pupils.

Bryonia 3, 1h. when there is pain with white tongue and nausea, but not much delirium, as well as depression and stupor.

Helleborus n. 3, 1/2h. for when there is pain at the back of the head and neck accompanied by much depression.

Apis 3X, 1h. if the patient is extremely nervous and makes shrill cries during sleep.

Sulphur 6, 1h for use after Apis or other remedies, especially if the patient has a hot head but cold feet.

For Tubercular meningitis – Dr Clark recommends Bacil. 30-200 taken in a single dose of 4 globules.

If the meningitis is due to a knock on the head, with resulting concussion: Give either Apis or Bryonia followed by Arnica.

Zinc. met. 6, 2h can be given after Belladonna or Helleborus, when the fever has subsided.

For “Typhoid meningitis” or “Spotted Fever”, Dr Clarke recommends

Meningococcin 6-30, 4h. – and Cicuta virosa 3, 1h. If symptoms of blood poisoning are present, use Crotalus 3, 1h. For pain getting worse behind the ears and down to nape of neck, use Am.c. 200, 2-4h. If all else fails to relieve the spasm, use Actimon r. 3, 1/4h whilst spasms continue. Then Gelsemium 1, 2h if there is paralysis, and for any deafness – first a 6, 4h followed by Sulphur 6. 4h.

Read Dr Clarke’s booklet ‘The Prescriber’ for more details.

Of course, a doctor must be seen if your child is sick. Meningitis is a notifiable disease, and it is very dangerous. These homeopathic remedies might be useful to keep on stand-by, though, in case of an emergency, or in case vaccination has not worked to keep the illness at bay.

Homeopathy For Emergencies: I would keep these remedies in my medicine cupboard for emergencies: Arnica 30, Aconite 30, Bryonia 30, Belladonna 30, Mercurius 30, Ledum 30, Sulphur 30, Helleborus 30, and Drosera 30. You would use the chosen remedy every 15 minutes for around 6 doses, then spread the dose out to half hourly, then hourly, lessening off the dosage as the patient improves. Usually, after the first day of being given the appropriate remedy, the patient begins to improve. Then you can give a dose of just four or five drops once a day for about a week, or as long as it takes for the patient to recover. If there is no change after using a remedy for several hours, then the remedy might need to be changed.

The Usefulness Of Keeping Homeopathic Remedies At Home: It can be very frightening in those wee small dark and lonely hours of the morning when your child suddenly becomes sick. In these cases, you can use the appropriate homeopathic remedy while you are on your way to the doctor’s or the hospital. This pro-action, of taking a homeopathic remedy before any other medication can be sought, could just save a person’s life. You might even find that by the time a doctor gets to see you at the hospital some hours later, that your child might have nearly recovered from having been given the right remedy. Such a case I always found to be with using Drosera for Whooping Cough and Croup. Once I remember being suddenly alerted in the middle of the night, hearing my baby suddenly having difficulty breathing. I gave him Drosera 6C or 30C immediately, whilst we were preparing to race to the emergency doctor. On the way, in the car, after having given him a few more doses of Drosera, we realized that the emergency situation was no more. He was breathing normally again. So we went home.

Ledum is a prophylactic (a preventer) of Tetanus. I never had any of my children vaccinated and used homeopathic Ledum instead, whenever I thought that Tetanus could be present. Apparently, no case study has ever shown that the Tetanus vaccine really does anything to stop people getting tetanus. As is the case with the whooping cough vaccine, or the meningitis vaccine, people can still get these disease though they have been vaccinated. Which is a good enough reason to keep the appropriate homeopathic remedies in the cupboard.

It is always best to get professional advice from a qualified Homeopath before taking any Homeopathic remedy, especially if you or your child is unwell. It is important to get the RIGHT remedy. Sometimes there are several remedies which will do the trick, but sometimes, there might be only one or two which will cure the condition. Also, sometimes you may need a constitutional remedy as well, and for this, you need to have a proper consultation, with your ‘case’ being taken, so that the appropriate remedy can be found.

In an emergency you may not have time to see a homeopath, especially if vaccination has failed. So go along to a qualified homeopath NOW, to get his advice on what remedies you should keep in the medicine cupboard, in case of an emergency.

Vaccinated NZ Girl Dies From Meningococcal Disease 3rd September 2012

Vaccinations Do Not Always Work. This is the sad lesson for a family whose 12 year-old daughter died of Meningitis on Monday.

Note: See Merrilyn’s post following this one, entitled:

Possible Homeopathy For Meningitis If Vaccinations Don’t Work

Vaccinations may help to prevent a bacterial disease, but vaccinations are no good on viral diseases. If this case of meningitis was a viral one, then the antibiotics in the vaccine given her will have been ineffective for that reason. But Vitamin C works on both viral and bacterial diseases…….

Alternatives to Vaccinations: Two other therapies can be used instead of vaccinations, and these are massive doses of Vitamin C when the disease presents itself, and Homeopathy for prevention and cure.

And this is why Vitamin C therapy and Homeopathic Medicine should not be suppressed by doctors or by drug companies or anyone else.

Homeopathic Medicine is a non-harmful, non invasive alternative to vaccinations. Whereas vaccinations are invasive to the body, and can harm the immune system, the homeopathic remedies do not cause harm to the immune system.

Vitamin C has cured people of infectious diseases when they were expected to die. Only two years ago, a man who had swine flu recovered because his family persuaded doctors to give him intravenous Vitamin C in massive doses. The medics at the Auckland hospital where he was being treated were about to take him off life support and let him die. He lives today, because he was given Vitamin C.

Everyone should learn about basic Homeopathy: It has stopped people dying of cholera, of scarlet fever, polio, tetanus, and other infectious diseases in the past. It could well save the life of your child in an emergency. However, Homeopathic remedies work best when the patient has not been exposed to a plethora of vaccinations and other antibiotics beforehand. It is best to choose one or the other – vaccinations or homeopathy.

If you decided to vaccinate, but your child nevertheless gets sick from the very disease which he or she has been vaccinated for, then it is possible that the appropriate Homeopathic remedies may not work either. This is because vaccinations upset the equilibrium, and harden a person’s sensitivity to all manner of things, including homeopathic remedies. However, in an emergency if nothing else can be done, it is always worth a try to use a homeopathic remedy on a vaccinated child.

And I would ALWAYS give large amounts of Vitamin C in an acute illness such as suspected meningitis. With or without vaccinations, Vitamin C can kill viruses and bacteria when it is given in large enough doses. It is a good thing to keep Vitamin C in your cupboard in case of an emergency, as well as Homeopathic Aconite, Belladonna, Mercurius, Ledum, Arnica, Arsen alb., and a few others.

Sad Death Of A Vaccinated Girl: Just this week, a 12 year old Wellington girl has died of suspected Meningococcal disease, only hours after showing the first symptoms. Amanda Crook-Barker had stayed home from school on Monday, 3rd September, because she was feeling a little sick and had a sore throat.

Within a short time she had started vomitting. Shortly after vomitting, whe manifested a rash, which is one of the classic symptoms of Meningococcal disease. One identifyer of meningococcal disease is that the rash does not disappear when you press the area.

Within two hours of the rash appearing, at 5 PM, Amanda had died.

Her father said that the rash quickly overtook her, and by the time the ambulance came to take her to hospital, she was black, as if bruised, all over her body. He only described her condition in an interview on television tonight, 5th September, so that other people might recognize the symptoms and act more quickly if their children became sick. Amanda’s condition deteriorated so quickly, there was hardly time to recognize the stages of the fast-accelerating illness, and the family certainly did not anticipate that things would develop the way they did, and claim their daughter’s life within hours.

It is most likely, though, that even if she had gone to hospital earlier in the day that the disease may not have been diagnosed. On the news tonight, her illness was described only as ‘suspected meningococcal disease’. Even if her diagnosis was certain, it is likely that antibiotics may not have reversed her condition. She had already had a vaccination for meningococcal disease. The only treatment which may have saved her life could have been a megadose of Vitamin C in combination with a homeopathic remedy such as Arsen alb, Aconite, Belladona, Mercurius, or Crotalus.

Over the past month there have been five cases of meningitis reported in the Auckland region. Fifteen cases were reported in Wellington last year.

A doctor appeared on the news tonight to warn people that they still could succumb to meningitis, even though they had been vaccinated. The doctor said that there are many strains of meningococcal disease, and there is not necessarily a vaccine for every one of these.

Apples Are Anti Cancer Food

An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away, as our Mums used to tell us.

‘A’ Stands For ‘Apple’.

Apples are healing. Apples are versatile. They can be eaten raw, juiced into fresh drinks, made into an apple and beetroot salad, or cooked in delicious deserts such as apple crumble, apple strudel, and apple dumplings. Apples can be made into wine, or cider. The famous second century court physician Galen, who also treated the gladiators, apparently presecribed apple wine for almost every ailment imagineable. ‘AA’ in Galen’s time must have stood for “Apples. Apples.”

Raw Apples Provide Essential Fibre: Raw apples, eaten whole or grated up, are a nutritious healing food which can help you to avoid or to treat diseases such as cancer and arthritis. Eat the seeds too, as these are rich in Vitamin B17, also known as Laetrile, or Amygdalin, which is an anti-cancer agent. Raw apples eaten daily will help your colon stay clean and healthy. Maintaining clean and healthy intestines will keep disease away.

Apples are Gluten Free: Apples should be put at the top of the list of that Gluten-Free Diet.

Apples have an alkaline effect on the body, which is very healthy. Alkaline foods help prevent degenerative diseases such as arthritis and cancer from taking hold.

Heart and Lungs Benefit: The flavanoids in apples, such as quercetin, are beneficial for the heart and for the lungs. Some naturopaths recommend an apple to avert an attack of asthma.

Rheumatism and Arthritis: The humble apple is a traditional remedy to alleviate rheumatism and prevent arthritis.

More Benefits of The Apple: It is a great preventer of Alzheimer’s disease, as well as being an easy and effective cure for constipation, as well as for diarrhoea. A diet of apples, done for three days, is a powerful cleanser of the whole body. The apple is regarded as a specific for the prevention of bowel or colon cancer because of its high fibre, as well as the specific healing chemicals it contains, such as pectin, and laetrile Vitamin B 17 in its seeds.

Apples are rich in potassium, which is another thing about apples which is good for your heart. This mineral helps to eliminate fluid retention.

They are high in Vitamin C, which helps to keep connective tissues strong, and which keeps the immune system healthy.

Apples are high in pectin. This is a valuable soluble fibre which plays a part in healing mucous membranes and in keeping the colon healthy. Pectin has a healing effect on the mucous membranes. Pectin helps lower cholesterol. It also helps to stabilize the blood sugar level, which makes it a good addition to the diet of the hyperglycaemic. Eating plenty of apples will help to prevent you from becoming hyperglycaemic.

Apples contain Laetrile, also called Amygdalin, or Vitamin B17: This plant chemical is proven to have an effect on cancer cells, and it is a good vitamin to include in your diet for protection against cancer. Vitamin B17, Laetrile, is found in quite high concentrations in the seed of the apple. Apricots, plum pips, nectarine pips, and peaches all contain Laetrile Vitamin B17 in their kernels. Just don’t eat too many in a day. These pips also contain a form of cyanide, and so one needs to be careful with the dosage. Probably the seeds of one apple should be plenty, without risk of over-dose. There is a story about a man who wanted to get really healthy through taking extra Vitamin B17. He saved up all his pips in a cup and then ate them all at once. He died soon after, according to the story.

But this doesn’t mean apple pips are bad for you – you can also die from eating carrots, and only carrots, if you do it for long enough. A carrot or two a day would be good for you, and so are apple pips if you eat only four or five little pips per day.

Apples are a great dieting food. They are a delicious low-calorie dieting food which will help you to decrease your waist-line without too much trouble. Apparently, people who eat plenty of apples tend to be slim.

Apples are a tasty and healthful addition to your children’s lunch-box. Eating an apple after lunch will help your children’s teeth to stay healthy.

Quercetin is a flavanoid chemical which also helps to lower cholesterol and stabilize blood pressure. Beside pectin in apples, quercetin is also helpful in averting diseases such as cancer, arthritis, and Alzheimer’s disease.

No wonder the humble apple is regarded as such a healthful food.
