one s daily tea. The powder of these three ingredients have antipyretic qualities and are effective
in dealing with fever accompanied by bronchitis. They also tone up the metabolism of the
patient.
The onion has been used as a food remedy for centuries in bronchitis. It is said to possess
expectorant properties . It liquefies phelgm and prevents its further formation. One teaspoon of
raw onion juice, the first thing in the morning will be highly beneficial in such cases.
A simple hot poultice of linseed should be applied over the front and back of the chest. It will

greatly relieve pain. Poultices act by diluting the vessels of the surface and thereby reducing the
blood pressure. The heat of the poultics acts as a cardiac stimulant. A poultics should be applied
neatly and carefully and should be often renewed, so that it does not hamper respiration.
Turpentine may be rubbed over the chest with fomentation for the same object.
A hot Epsom-salts bath every night or every other night will be highly beneficial during the acute
stages of the attack. This bath is prepared by dissolving three lbs. of Epsom-salts to 60 litres of
water having a temperature of 100 o F. The patient should remain immersed in the bath for
about 20 minutes. In case of chronic bronchitis, this bath may be taken twice a week. Hot towels
wrung out and applied over the upper chest are also helpful. After applying three hot towels in
turn for two or three minutes each , one should always finish off with a cold towel. A cold pack
should also be applied to the upper chest several times daily in acute conditions. The procedure
is to wring out some linen material in cold water, wrap two or three times round the affected part
and cover it with some flannel. The pack can remain for about an hour at a time.
Fresh air and outdoor exercises are also essential to the treatment of bronchitis and the patient
should take a good walk everyday. He should also perform yogic kriyas such as jalneti and
vamandhouti and yogic asanas such as ekpaduttansana, yogamudra, bhujangasana,
shalabhasana, padmasana and shavasana. Simple pranayamas like kapalbhatti,
anuloma-viloma, ujjai and bhramari are also highly beneficial.

CANCER
NATURE CURE
CANCER
The word  cancer  comes from the latin "carcinoma" meaning crab. It is the most dreaded
disease and refers to all malignant tumours caused by the abnormal growth of a body cell or a
group of cells . It is today the second largest killer in the world, next only to heart ailments. The
term covers more than 200 diseases.
The majority of cancers occur in the age group 50-60. Sex does not affect the incidence of the
disease. It, however, affects the site of growth. In men, cancer is usually found in the intestines,
the prostate and the lungs. In women, it occurs mostly in the breast tissues, uterus, gall-bladder
and thyroid.
Symptoms
The symptoms of cancer vary according to the site of the growth. The American Cancer Society
has prescribed seven signs or danger signals in general which may indicate the presence of
cancer. These are : a sore that does not heal ; change in bowel or bladder habits ; unusual
bleeding or discharge ; thickening or lump in breast or elsewhere ; indigestion or difficulty in
swallowing ; obvious change in a wart or a mole, and a persistent and nagging cough or
hoarseness. Other symptoms may include unexplained loss of weight , particularly in older
people, a change in skin colour and changes in the menstrual periods, especially bleeding
between periods.
Causes
The prime cause of cancer is not known. Certain cancer- causing substances, known as
carcinogens, however, increase the chances of getting the disease. About 80 per cent of
cancers are caused by environmental factors . Forty per cent of male cancers in India are linked
with tobacco, a known cancer- causing agent. The consumption of pan, bettlenut, tobacco and
slaked lime has been linked with lung and throat cancers. Heavy consumption of alcoholic drinks
can cause oesophagal, stomach and liver cancers. Occupational exposure to industrial
pollutants such as asbestos, nickel, tar, soot and high doses of X-rays can lead to skin and lung
cancers and leukemia. Other factors contributing to cancer are vital infections, trauma, hormone
imbalance and malnutrition. Many well-known biologists and naturopaths, however, believe that
a faulty diet is the root cause of cancer. Investigations indicate that the cancer incidence is in
direct proportion to the amount of animal protein, particularly meat, in the diet. Dr. Willard J.
Visek, a renowned research scientist explained recently a link between excessive meat-eating
and cancer. According to him, the villain is ammonia, the carcinogenic by-product of meat
digestion.
Treatment
The effective treatment of cancer consists of a complete change in diet, besides total elimination
of all environmental sources of carcinogens, such as smoking and carcinogenic chemicals in air
, water and food. There has recently been a surge of popular interest in the concept that diet is
not just a minor, but rather a major factor in both the development and the prevention of cancer.
The disease can be prevented and even treated by dietary programmes that include  natural
foods  and the use of megavitamin supplements.
As a first step, the patient should cleanse the system by thoroughly relieving constipation and
making all the organs of elimination - the skin, lungs, liver, kidneys and bowels - active. Enemas
should be used to cleanse the colon. For the first four or five days, the patient should take only
juicy fruits like oranges, grapefruits, lemons, apples, peaches, pears, pineapples and tomatoes.
Vegetable juices are also useful, especially carrot juice.
After a few days of an exclusive fruit diet, the patient may be given a nourishing alkaline-based
diet. It should consist of 100 per cent natural foods, with emphasis on raw fruits and vegetables,

particularly carrots , green leafy vegetables, cabbage, onion, garlic , cucumber, asparagus,
beets and tomatoes. A minimum requirement of high quality protein, mostly from vegetable
sources such as almonds, millet, sesame seeds, sprouted seeds and grains, may be added to
the diet.
Dr. Ann Wigmore of Boston, U.S.A., the well-known naturopath and a pioneer in the field of living
food nutrition, has been testing the effect of a drink made of fresh wheatgrass in the treatment of
leukemia. She claims to have cured several cases of this disease by this method. Dr. Wigmore
points out that by furnishing the body with live minerals, vitamins, trace elements and chlorophyll
through wheatgrass juice, it may be able to repair itself. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
