like regular hydrochloric acid could. The stomach becomes a haven for Salmonellas and other bacteria and this is the biggest digestive plague of the elderly. Salmonellas dig deep into the stomach wall, safe from antibiotics and stomach acid and aren't washed away with the food. When they take over the region near the top of the stomach, it weakens the esophageal sphincter and food keeps coming back up a bit—a most uncomfortable development, especially after supper or when lying down.

When the Salmonellas spread out further to invade the diaphragm around the sphincter, the diaphragm weakens, and lets a bit of the stomach up through the hole.

This causes hiatal hernia distress. Don't settle your loved one in an easy chair after supper. This presses the stomach upward and the food up, too. Leave them sitting at the table a while, then walk a bit, to get the food down lower. The food will sink lower if some of it can leave the stomach at the lower pyloric end. But if Salmonellas are entrenched here, too, the lower end does not have enough action to push the food through the valve.

Drugs like ReglanTM are given to speed this up.

What helps most is getting digestion completed. This sets up the natural cues for emptying. Digestive enzyme tablets have been in popular use to help digestion. But they may not be safe since they have not been sterilized. Always try the vinegar and honey method first. Coughing during eating is a sign that the diaphragm is irritated (by a hiatal hernia). If drinking water starts the coughing, omit it at the beginning of meals. Work in sips during the meal.

Salmonella and Shigella

Some Salmonella infections can bring dizziness to your elderly person. Dizziness is another plague of the elderly, keeping them from going shopping, getting to church and even from getting around their own homes. Drugs such as AntivertTM are

given but only take the edge off the problem. Feeling dizzy can make your loved one home bound and stuck to a walker for every move.

Salmonellas, along with Shigellas, produce very toxic substances that cause dizziness. There are three common Salmonella varieties: Salmonella enteriditis, Salmonella paratyphi, and

Salmonella typhimurium (386, 380, 354 KHz). Kill Salmonellas daily for a month by taking Lugol’s iodine (6 drops in a half cup water, after meals and bedtime, see Recipes). Unfortunately, this will not kill Shigellas; follow the Bowel Program (page 546) to get them.

During this time set up a system of sterilizing all dairy products (see Milk, page 425) since this is the source of reinfection. Set up a system of rinsing fingers (and fingernails) in 10% grain alcohol in the bathroom. Deli food and restaurant salads carry Salmonellas and Shigellas, too. Kill them, routinely, after eating such food due to necessity. A warm stomach full of food at a neutral pH is just the right culture condition for these bacteria. It's like putting yeast into a bowl of warm water, flour and sugar. In half an hour it is overflowing with growth.

Once Salmonella is entrenched in an organ it is difficult to eliminate. Only an electric zapper can kill them all (in an organ, not the bowel). If your body has the right conditions (like a low acid stomach) to let them grow you dare not swallow another one! Shigellas arrive with dairy foods, too, but prefer the lower intestine as their headquarters. Indigestion that starts right after eating is probably due to Salmonellas. If your indigestion comes in the night, this suggests Shigellas, since they've had time to reach their favorite place further down.

Campylobacter and E. coli, other digestive bacteria, are sometimes the culprits. The Bowel Program is effective against these also. Besides getting digestive improvement you get mental improvement, less depression, less dizziness, less irritability after clearing these up. Remember that eating bacteria and

killing them later will not solve the problem. Stopping eating them will.

Other Clues

Digestion problems that remain after eliminating bacteria can be diagnosed in a rational way. Ask these questions:

•Is the stool orangish-yellow, or very pale, instead of greenish brown? If so, bile isn't getting delivered to the small intestine from the liver.

•Is there abdominal pain? (More about this on page 97). It may be due to Ascaris, flukes, or other parasites.

•Is there constipation? This will let wastes accumulate, all the longer for bacteria to thrive on them.

•Is there bloating? This is due to gas made by bacteria.

•Does the stool float? If so, it must be lighter than water and contain fat or a great deal of undigested material.

Liver Bile

Bile is necessary for digestion. Absorption of fat and calcium depends on bile mixing with the food. When fat isn't absorbed, it stays in the intestine. Fat is lighter than water; it makes the stool float. Feces should not float. When the stool floats you can assume that calcium isn't being absorbed either, leaving the blood in a deficit which will be taken from the bones.

If the stool floats or is orangish in color prepare your elderly person for a liver cleanse (page 552) to clear a bile duct of obstruction. They get quite fond of these cleanses and will ask to have one. Liver cleanses are completely safe, even for persons in their 80's. One of the stones pictured on page 554 came from a woman age 97. The general rules apply to the extremely elderly: kill all parasites first by zapper if possible, otherwise by

299

THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES

herbal parasite killing. Do a kidney cleanse (page 549) first, using half a dose instead of the regular dose, for three to six weeks. Attend your loved one in person for the liver cleanse, have a commode at bedside, protect bedding from accident: use paper underwear if necessary. Share the joy of getting gallstones out painlessly with your loved one; let them see and count them if they wish before you flush them (use a flashlight).

Be extra careful with the skin cleansing. Hot water soothes and heals. Use starch skin soother to dispense onto the wet paper towel, besides borax solution and alcohol. Don't use ordinary soap. The starch skin softener gives the smoothness of soap, and prevents the pain of friction. An elderly person may have no diarrhea at all with the Epsom salts! Evidently the body absorbs all the magnesium so eagerly, none is left in the intestine to absorb water and create diarrhea. It is especially important though to rehydrate your elderly person after a diarrhea. This time they do not balk at water consumption. The liver cleanse, it seems, gives them new thirst as well as new appetite. But it doesn't last long. As the stones from the far corners of the liver move forward, they compact into larger stones and plug the ducts again. Their previous symptoms return. Try to give a cleanse once a month until the dark color of the stool returns and it no longer floats.

The benefits of a liver cleanse will last longer if valerian herb is taken the day after the cleanse and from then forward. It may be preventing spasm of the bile ducts. Use 2 oz. of the herb (cut) in 3 cups water. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, let settle or strain. Add honey to sweeten. Give a few tbs. every 4 hours (or 6 capsules) for several days followed by a daily dose at bedtime.

Constipation

If constipation is a problem, use an herbal product rather than a drug until you have removed the cause. Cascara sagrada (half dosage) or prunes work for many people. Adding roughage to the diet is a good solution but often doesn't work. If you try bran, you should add vitamin C and boil it, first, because it is very moldy. But even eating tree branches for supper won't move a bowel that has the wrong bacteria in it.

Bacteria are part of the cause; and part of the result! Constipation increases the bacteria level which causes further constipation! You may solve the constipation problem immediately by zapping. Even though this kills some “good” with some “bad” bacteria, no harm is done. The stool is recolonized in one to two days.

Poop Your Troubles Away

Two bowel movements a day are the minimum necessary for good health. The first one should be in the morning. The morning cup of water, drunk at the bedside has the magical ability to move the bowels. Cold water may fail. But the water effect only works in the early morning. Waiting until after breakfast may not work. Notice the energy lift your loved one gets from this most primitive body cleanse. Take advantage of this to exercise them. Go immediately for the morning walk. This might be the only time of day they can enjoy their walk.

Walking and liver cleansing are the most health-promoting activities you can do for your loved one.

Make walking as essential as eating. Walking is not merely walking about the house or shopping. Walking should be done outdoors. Walking is a brisk exercise, done as speedily as possi-

301

THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES

ble and lasting at least ½hour. Only if the weather doesn't allow outdoor walking can an indoor walk be substituted. Don't let your elderly person choose whether they will walk that day. To overcome resistance, find a cheerful neighborhood person willing to do this task for pay. The need to respond to a new stranger energizes the elderly more than your persuasion can.

Sugar Regulation

Diabetes is a common development in the elderly. If your loved one is already on a pill for beginning diabetes, take this as your challenge never to let it get worse. It is not a chronic metabolic deterioration. It is a destruction of the pancreas

(specifically the islets) by the pancreatic fluke which is attracted to the pancreas by wood alcohol. Zap flukes and eliminate wood alcohol as described in the section on diabetes (page 173).

Use no artificial sweetener and no beverages besides milk, water and the recipes given in this book. This is one regimen your loved one will not resent. They are well motivated to prevent the need for giving themselves daily shots of insulin. Use this motivation to acquire the taste for new foods and beverages.

Elderly Person’s 7 Day Diabetic Diet

Daily supplements: 4 chromium (200 mcg. each), 1 or 2 B- 50 complex, vitamin C (1,000 mg. or ¼ tsp.). Take with food.

Breakfast

Choose any one; they need not be in order.

1.Two eggs, (replace carton and wash hands and eggs before cracking), wheat-free, corn-free bread, not toasted (special breads can be found in the freezer section of natural food

stores), with butter and 1 tbs. orange blossom honey. 1 peeled pear, raw, with whipping cream. One cup hot milk with cinnamon.

2.Old fashioned oats, with 1/4 tsp. cinnamon and 1/8 tsp. vitamin C, stirred in just before serving. Mix whipping cream with sterilized milk to make a “half n half” for the cereal. 1 tbs. honey. 1 banana. One half cup milk, one half glass water with honey and vinegar.

3.Fried potatoes with 2 eggs (use only butter, olive oil or lard), 1 cup hot or cold milk. A quartered orange (wash the orange before quartering).

4.Cream of rice, with homemade “half n half” or whipping cream, cinnamon and vitamin C stirred in. 1 cup milk, 1 banana.

5.Cottage cheese, cooked in covered skillet to sterilize. Add chives or peeled fruit (not canned). Wheat-free, corn-free bread, or rice bread with 1 tbs. honey. 1 nectarine or piece of melon. 1 cup hot milk. Water with vinegar and honey.

6.Pancakes or waffles with butter and eggs (no sweetening). Fruit (peeled), hot milk, water.

7.Fruit cup, large bowl of peeled, chopped mixed fruit with whipping cream and 1 tbs. honey and rice bread or other

wheat-free, corn-free bread with unsalted butter. 1 cup hot milk with cinnamon.

Remember, all honey must be pretreated with vitamin C. All fruit is peeled and free of blemishes and soft spots. All milk, cream, butter must be sterilized for 10 seconds at full boiling point. Butter must not be “raw”. Get wheat-free, corn-free bread at a natural foods store.

Lunch

It is better to have most of the day's calories in the middle of the day than at the end. Arrange for dinner at noon if possible.

303

THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES

Dinner

Choose any one.

1.Green beans with potatoes, meat dish, cabbage apple salad, water with lemon juice and honey, 1 cup hot milk. Water.

Fresh green beans, especially fava beans contain a substance that is described in old herbal literature to be especially beneficial to diabetics. Don't overcook them—it might harm this substance.

For the same reason, don't use canned green beans. If “fresh” isn't possible, choose “frozen” but rinse the chemicals off before cooking. Potatoes (not overcooked), peeled to make sure there are no blemishes (contain mold and pesticide) can be cooked with the beans. Cook with onions and oregano for flavoring. Add fresh chopped parsley to the sauce or butter for both green beans and potatoes. Fresh parsley has special herbal goodness (high magnesium, high potassium, diuretic.)

The meat dish should be overdone. “Fast food” is plopped from the freezer into the boiling grease which browns the outside nicely but can easily leave the inside undercooked. Meat must never be “rare.” There should be no redness near bones! Canned meat is safe from parasites but may have smoke flavoring added (contains benzopyrene) or nitrates. Avoid these chemicals. Avoid MSG too. Whenever a meat dish is not accepted, substitute sardines.

Let them choose from a display of six kinds. Purchase the flip-top cans to avoid eating metal grindings from the can opening process.

Cabbage for salad should be chopped fine enough to be digestible. Add finely chopped apples (peeled) and a few apple seeds and whipping cream for the dressing.

304

PUSHING BACK AGE

Sweet things are reserved for dessert. Since a diabetic's tissues are not absorbing sugar, they crave it more and more. As the diabetes improves they crave it less. For dessert, serve 1 tbs. of honey to satisfy this craving without endangering their blood sugar regulation. It can be used in the hot milk or in other ways. Undercooking the vegetables also helps slow down the sugar release. Never serve mashed potatoes for this reason.

The drinking water should always have a little vitamin C, lemon juice or vinegar added, and 1 tsp. honey if desired.

2.Asparagus, potato, raw salad, fowl dish, fruit, water with vinegar and honey, 1 cup hot milk.

The asparagus can be fresh or canned. Bake the potato: not in aluminum foil, not baked until fluffy. Don't let the skin be eaten. Use genuine butter, only, or a homemade sour cream dressing (see Recipes). Fresh chopped chives may be added but no regular sour cream since this is very high in tyramine, a brain toxin.

The raw salad should be chopped small enough to be edible by dentures. Use homemade salad dressing with a preference for oil and vinegar styles.

The fowl dish should be very well done, never “fast food”.

For dessert, fresh fruit chunks dipped in a homemade honey sauce (honey, water and cinnamon). Less sweets are consumed if you dip the fruit rather than pour the sauce over. Limit the total to 1 tbs. honey. Don't serve grapes or strawberries due to the intense mold problem.

3.Soup, sandwich, fruit, hot milk, water.

Soup should be homemade from scratch. Add bones and 1 tbs. vinegar (white distilled) or a tomato to the kettle to ensure some calcium leaches out of the bones. A fish chowder serves this purpose very well, too.

305

THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES

The sandwich has lettuce, real butter, and whatever else tastes good (no cheese, bacon bits or condiments). The bread is wheat-free, corn-free, stored in freezer. Homemade salad dressing can be added.

The fruit may be chopped with whipping cream, cinnamon and honey sauce (not more than 1 tbs. honey).

The water may be plain if there was vinegar in the soup.

4.Fish, green beans, potatoes, other greens, fruit, hot milk, water.

Fried or baked fish is served with lemon or lime. Green beans are served with a cheese sauce so a lot will be eaten. (Cheese sauce: add milk, olive oil to a block of cheese.

Melt and cook at least 10 seconds.) Serve au gratin potatoes or scalloped potatoes or any kind of potatoes that will be enjoyed. The extra greens can be beet greens, collards, mustard greens or spinach served with a favorite dressing to make sure it's eaten. (No croutons or bacon bits, though.)

Never serve dessert if the plate has not been cleared.

Your loved one isn't hungry enough. If appetite is very poor, sweets will only worsen the problem. Try to change the menu to stimulate the appetite. Acid foods stimulate;

spices and B-vitamins (especially B1) stimulate; hot foods stimulate. Much appetite is controlled by the liver and brain. Toxins at either location (especially food-derived toxins) tell the body to stop eating. Suspect food molds first, bacteria and chemical additives next.

5.Asparagus, meat dish, white rice (brown rice contains mold), coleslaw, milk, water, ice cream.

A hot meat dish (no pasta, no wheat flour, no regular gravy) can be fried, cooked or baked, but not grilled. Asparagus is fresh, frozen or canned. Rinse if frozen. Fix it differently than last time. Season rice with parsley and minimal salt and pure herbs like thyme; no MSG or mixed
