Diabetics need to pay special attention to their diet. In contrast with most other diseases, diabetes makes the patient want to eat more. To solve the question of diet, we must therefore see to it that he eats an adequate amount of food but with the proviso that it does not consist of too many carbohydrates. This can be achieved by giving the diabetic primarily vegetables, which are rich in vitamins but low in carbohydrates.

Lacto-vegetarians obtain their protein requirements from milk products, especially sour milk, buttermilk and soft white cheese (cottage cheese or quark). If the patient is used to eating meat, he must restrict himself to only small quantities of lean, muscular cuts of meat. The following menu for one day can be taken as a model.

There are various kinds of tapeworm. When eating meat that has not been properly cooked it is possible to become infected with the so-called bladderworms (cysticerci) of the cattle, pig or fish variety. The bladderworms or larvae then develop into tapeworms in the human host.

Since field mice can be infected from the faeces of dogs, the eggs can be transmitted to people from the cats that catch the mice. The larvae of the dog tapeworm can cause small blisters in the human liver. This is quite dangerous since worm remedies are only effective in the intestine and not in the liver.

There is another danger. The eggs can develop into minute larvae in the intestines, bore through the intestinal wall and then migrate via the bloodstream to various organs of the body, where they form blisters or cysts varying in size from that of a pinhead to a little child’s head. This condition can be fatal. Do not, therefore, ignore the warning to exercise due care when handling your pets. There are no doubt many ways of playing with them and enjoying their companionship, without endangering your health.

Pituitary obesity, however, is not so easy to deal with, because the pituitary is less amenable to corrective treatment than the ovaries. There are, of course, glandular preparations on the market which do act on the pituitary, but their administration is still a delicate matter. Nor do these preparations always produce positive results with the pituitary, though they often do with the ovaries.

A more effective way to reduce obesity is to take the seaweed ocean kelp. Two Kelpasan tablets taken twice a day are usually enough to reduce excess weight slowly but surely. Additionally, take Helianthus tub., a fresh plant extract made from Topinambur, over a long period of time. Where the ovaries need stimulating, Ovarium 3x, in combination with a good diet, has given good results.

Also take care that the child does not get cold feet or feel chilled or cold. For this reason see to it that he has adequate footwear, warm socks and warm clothing to protect his body in cold weather. Moreover, make sure that he gets plenty of exercise out-of-doors, as this will stimulate the circulation and make him feel comfortable and warm. Take him on hikes or walks, possibly through a forest or wood, and encourage him to breathe deeply in the aromatic air. This will do much to build him up.

At all times the child should grow up in an atmosphere of soothing tranquillity since it will help him to relax. A happy home is the main factor that contributes to his speedy recovery; it induces a sense of balance by helping to overcome the emotions that have been a basic cause of the problem. Where there is happiness there is no room for tantrums, a defiant spirit, sullenness or depression. Engrossed as we often are in our daily routine, we tend to forget how much health, in particular the health of a child who is weak for some reason, depends on the feeling of being wanted and loved in an environment of calmness and harmony.

No wonder the result is a state of complete exhaustion instead of recuperation from the week’s work. Driving at high speed creates anxiety and inner tension and affects the heart like a poison. Not only is the speed of the drive harmful, but the exhaust fumes are equally dangerous to the heart and blood vessels, particularly the fumes caused by leaded petrol. How much more sensible it would be to take a short leisurely ride to a nearby forest or the hills, get out of the car and go for a relaxing walk or hike. This kind of exercise would be invigorating for the blood vessels and, of course, the heart. The time spent in a clean environment would then permit us to return to work and our duties on Monday morning refreshed and relaxed, instead of tense and irritable as is so often the case today, when we misuse our leisure.
