Music for the invalid must be chosen just as carefully as medicine, even with regard to ‘dosage’, so that its therapy can work properly. We should bear in mind the homoeopathic principle that strong stimulants are destructive but weak ones vitalise.

It is interesting to note that there is a resemblance between all biological laws and principles. Just as a stimulating and invigorating medicine is given in the morning and a sedative at night, in the same way, lively music will be found suitable for the mornings and soothing, soft music for the evenings, helping to relax the patient and induce sleep. It is understandable that the choice of music and the volume must be right if the patient is to benefit.

Yeast and yeast extract relieve disturbances of one’s general state of health. Yeast extract is also good for neuralgic pains, trigeminal neuralgia and similar aches caused by inflammation of the nerves. Owing to its high vitamin  content, it has also been found to be of special benefit during pregnancy.

It would be a good thing if other wholegrain or wholewheat bread were always made according to the same natural method. If you eat such bread year in and year out, it is reasonable to assume that your body will benefit greatly from it. Remember that nature is not guided by our palates, moods and appetites, but works according to its eternal laws. If we ignore or reject nature’s dictates, we will have to suffer the eventual consequences, or at least our children will. So make sure to serve nothing but good and wholesome bread. It alone is the foundation of natural and healthy nutrition.

Children like to nibble carrots as if they were sticks of rock or candy. So when mother puts them on the table cut up into four pieces, maybe grandmother would not be so pleased with her meal, but this is perfect for the children since their teeth are given a little extra work to do. I remember the time when carrot salad used to mean a dish of cooked carrots, sliced and dressed. However, since the importance of their vitamins has become common knowledge, boiled or cooked carrots are hardly ever served as a salad, instead, grated raw carrots have taken their place. With a little grated horseradish added they taste exceptionally refreshing.

You can also set aside days for fasting and raw vegetable diets, their effect being very encouraging. My book The Liver, the Regulator of Your Health contains instructions for diets that are good for the pancreas as well as the liver. A number of food items must be avoided completely, for example all boiled protein foods and the combination of fat, protein and sugar, either cooked or fried. Hot spices should also be avoided; use culinary herbs from the garden instead. The protein foods best tolerated are sour milk products. Prepare salads with a little cold-pressed oil and Molkosan. Of curative effect are bilberry (blueberry) juice, blackcurrant juice, weak herb teas, and occasionally a little buttermilk.

Bed-wetting in normal older children, if they do not have a cold or some other physical complaint or weakness, can generally be attributed to a psychological conflict. It can be a very unpleasant

home atmosphere, or the child may have simply been spoiled by indulgent parents.

What steps should be taken to help? First, create a happy environment in the home, a pleasant relationship between parents and children. The home should be free from anxiety and the accelerated pace of modern life. It should then not be too difficult to isolate the cause of the emotional problem. Empathy and patience on the part of both mother and father will help reveal it. There may be a variety of reasons, such as fear, jealousy, ambition, overexertion, or exciting television programmes that the parents allow the children to watch until late at night, or some other emotional upset.

Lycopus produces excellent results in the treatment of mild overactive thyroid conditions (hyperthyroidism) and the accompanying heart palpitations. Even in cases of very strong pounding and nervousness, doses of 5-10 drops have a tranquillising effect. If a hyperthyroid condition has existed for some time, Urticalcin is also recommended, since patients who suffer from palpitations usually lack calcium. I have often been able to achieve excellent results with people who thought they were suffering from a severe heart ailment simply by giving them Lycopus and calcium. It is also interesting to note that a somewhat increased basal metabolism can be normalised with these remedies if they are taken together with a homoeopathic seaweed preparation such as Kelp 4x. However, it is important that patients avoid the use of iodised salt. Lycopus and Urticalcin are also a helpful combination in cases of rapid heart beat due to over-excitability, a frequent complaint in our hectic times. Even though a calming effect can be felt almost immediately, the two natural remedies should be taken over a longer period of time for a more permanent result.
