seasoning, make butter sauce. Dessert is homemade ice cream (see Recipes).

6.Fish or seafood hot dish. Green peas or peas and onions.

Peeled sweet potato with butter (not canned). May switch sweet potato with rice on asparagus day. Sliced tomatoes or cucumber or other raw vegetables with or without dressing. Milk, 1 tbs. honey (can be used on sweet potato).

7.Chili or stew with unlimited rice-bread and butter. If chili produces gas, stay away from it. Serve no canned varieties.

Grated carrot salad with stewed raisins added and heavy cream. Milk, water as usual. Blueberry pie, sweet potato pie, custard pie.

If more bread is requested, provide a wheat-free, corn-free variety; but limit bread eating to “after main dish” eating. If not enough milk is drunk: make custard pudding or rice pudding so the daily amount (3 cups) is consumed.

Supper

1.Tuna with salad dressing or tuna salad (no pasta). Nonwheat raisin bread (from natural foods store) and butter.

Milk, water.

2.Custard, cooked greens, baked potato. Rice-bread and butter. Herb tea with milk added (single herb only, not mixed herbs).

3.Vegetable soup, homemade, from scratch. Leftover meat sandwich with rice-bread (no deli or cold cuts or luncheon meat). Milk, water.

4.Baked squash with butter, rice pudding with cinnamon, raisins, and honey. Canned salmon or sardines with wheat free, corn free bread. Milk, water.

5.Chili or stew leftovers with wheat free, corn free bread. Custard pudding sweetened with honey, and nutmeg/cinnamon mix. Milk, water.

Many diabetics lose 50 points (mg/DL) of blood sugar in a few days on this diet. This is why: there is less bread than a diabetic would prefer. There is very little cheese (it must always be boiled in a sauce to sterilize). There is no fruit or vegetable juice except homemade, and not much of that because it crowds out milk and water. If your elderly loved one can't eat all this, make sure there are no snacks consumed between meals that are forbidden.

There is no pasta anywhere. Pasta is mold-ridden. Even after cooking, it may be toxic. There is no wheat or corn bread. The menu is heavy on green beans and asparagus and cinnamon. If by chance, your elderly person hates these and starves themselves to get your sympathy, add a lot more potatoes and rice (never brown) to raise calories.

There is no sweetening other than honey (5 kinds). There are no syrups or sugars. Honey is self limiting—the taste for it is all gone after 1 tbs. Not so for other sugars. The heavy use of cream and butter is offset by no deep fat fried food and little cheese.

Keep in mind that this diet may reduce the need for insulin almost immediately. You may have to cut it in half! But how would you know this? The morning blood sugar test is essential to keep track of changing circumstances. Don't neglect it. Be careful not to use rubbing alcohol when making the finger stick (use vodka or grain alcohol). Your elderly person will feel it is all worthwhile (doing without coffee or pie) if one less insulin shot is needed or if they can go back on tablets instead of insu-

lin. Or even just the knowledge they are staying well controlled and will never have to take insulin shots. Remember to give yourself the credit for a fine accomplishment when your loved one's diabetes improves.

Diabetic Supplements

Several supplements are especially good for diabetics:

•Fenugreek seeds, 3 capsules with each meal.

•Fresh vegetable juice made of raw green beans and carrots (½cup total).

•Bilberry leaves. Maybe they have something in them that helps detoxify wood alcohol, since bilberry leaves are good for eyes, too. Get in capsules or make a tea.

Diabetic Eating Out

Since the rules are always somewhat relaxed when “eating out” a diabetic loved one will badger you to go out with them. If rules are sure to be broken, calculate it into the rest of the day so you can compensate for it.

Extra Diet Tips For The Elderly

Food should taste good.

Eating is a fundamental pleasure of living. In old age there is no other pleasure that can equal enjoyment of food. It is a time when we long for the foods of our own childhood, too. Ethnic foods often had to be given up when children were raised

(switched to hot dogs and pizza) but with this diversion gone, a return to family food would be most welcome and most healthful.

Ethnic foods were made from scratch. And they certainly were made at home where cleanliness and “persnickitiness” are at their finest! A speck in the batter gets noticed. Not so in a

309

THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES

commercial mixing vat. Pots and pans are sanitized with hot water, not chemicals.

Good advice is to return to old fashioned home cooking: with its flour and butter, lard and cream, homemade pasta, olive oil and soup, coarse cereal grains and plain fruit. Gone are the fruit juices, flour mixes, crackers and sweets that fill grocery shelves. What about convenience? Old fashioned cooking took most of the day. It does take 3 or 4 hours to make a soup from scratch. But you then get 3 days off! Each day you reboil it, it is sterile again. Or freeze half of it (take the potatoes out first). It does take a whole morning to make pasta or some ethnic dish. Freeze it in plastic sealed containers so the delicate flavor isn't spoiled.

Baking homemade bread is automated now. Do at least this much to get away from the mold-ridden grocery store loaves. Make your own ice cream and nut butters. They last many days and free your schedule.

Time is the great inhibitor but if you have the means or the help, the best advice, nutritionally, is a return to old-fashioned cooking and recipes. Use your new insights to improve them where you can. Don't use your mother's aluminum ware; use her enamel ware or the new glass and ceramic ware. Don't use her copper-bottomed tea kettle or gold-rimmed cups or “silver”. Use her wooden spoons, glass glasses, and plain dishes, her wooden and straw bowls and enamel pots and pans.

Salt

Should you avoid salt? No. But a good salt rule is to either cook with it or have it on the table, but not both. Use aluminumfree sea salt, and make sure the salt is sterilized by heating five minutes at 400°F in a glass pie plate to kill mold. (Sea gulls fly over the salt flats where sea salt is gathered. Their droppings provide a medium for mold.)

310

PUSHING BACK AGE

Fig. 38 Sea salt flats are often roosting places for sea gulls.

The best salt is a mixture of 1 part of your aluminum-free, sterilized sea salt and 1 part potassium chloride (another kind of salt, see Sources). Potassium ousts sodium (salt) from your body, so you can use twice as much of this kind of salt! Also, the extra potassium helps lift fatigue and has other benefits.

Always use a non-metal salt shaker with a closable lid to keep out moisture. Don't put rice in your salt because it invites mold.

Since you, the cook, know where the salt is, (mostly in soups and stews), don't serve as much of these when there is heart and kidney illness or high blood pressure. Don't put salt in cereal, cooking vegetables, or other dishes. Just leave it out! Use herbs instead. Tip: encapsulated herbs stay fresher and are more potent. Fenugreek and thyme are the most beneficial of the common cooking herbs. Just open a capsule and season.

THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES

Tremor

Tremor is a symptom, not a natural part of aging. The nerves controlling the hands and arms are poisoned. The nerves originate in the brain where the poison has accumulated. What is the poison? Did it happen long ago? No! It could have happened as long as two weeks ago but not longer!

Tremor is the result of ongoing poisoning! It is important to find the poison as soon as you can since the rest of the body will soon be affected, too. Search your memory for the new things that happened in the last two weeks. It is a herculean task but only gets harder each day, so keep notes as you ask: Is there new carpeting? Is there a new furnace? Is there a different water supply? Is there a new hair dresser? Did somebody bring a vase of fresh flowers? Is there a new laundry person? Was the place sprayed for insects? Is there a new medicine (drug) or supplement? Was remodeling done? Is there a new food?

The list is endless and the situation looks hopeless because so many new things can happen in two weeks.

Rather than asking individual questions like these, let's ask only five general questions and have the assurance that one of them will catch the culprit.

1.Is it in the air? This will catch insecticide, flowers, carpets all together.

2.Is it in the water?

3.Is it in the medicines or supplements?

4.Is it in the clothing?

5.Is it in the food or on the dishes?

To answer each question, test the item using your Syncrometer searching technique. Make a test substance. Then search a saliva sample for it.

To test the air, take a dust sample off the kitchen counter or table (this gives you fresh dust). Pick up the dust with a few

312

PUSHING BACK AGE

wipes by a small, two inch square of damp paper towel. Place in a resealable baggy.

To test the water, make samples by putting about a tsp. of hot, cold, or filtered water into a resealable baggy with a bit of paper towel in it. Try to get the first morning water before it has run.

To test the medicines and supplements put one of each in resealable baggies.

To test clothing (laundry) use a bit of it, (such as a sock) rolled up tightly.

Testing food is the biggest job. If there are leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer, this helps. You can combine all the leftovers in a single baggy. Frozen things don't need to be thawed for testing. Still, the chance of missing a food culprit is quite high.

Be sure to test everything eaten in a two week time period: unusual things like popcorn, candy, crackers, cookies, health foods and special powders. A consolation is that you will find a number of bad foods that are not necessarily the tremor causes but which cause other health problems.

Tremor Remedies

1. Let us imagine that the air (dust) sample proves toxic (resonates with the saliva sample). What is it in the air that is toxic? These are the biggest suspects:

•CFCs (from leaking refrigerant, check refrigerator and air conditioner by removing them from the house and retesting the dust after three days, or simply buy a non-CFC variety)

•vanadium (from leaking house gas from a fuel line— repair)

•arsenic from pesticide (switch to boric acid)

•solvent from a lamp or can of lighter fuel (take them out of the house)

313

THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES

•chlorine from water (use carbon filters; remove bleach bottles)

•asbestos (clothes dryer belt)

•paint thinner, carpet cleaner (remove from house)

•fiberglass from bare insulation somewhere (fix holes in ceiling or wall)

•formaldehyde (new foam bedding, new fabric or clothing)

2.Suppose the water proves toxic (appears in your white blood cells); search for lead, copper, and cadmium. Although municipal water tests occasionally detect small amounts of propyl alcohol, benzene, or wood alcohol, I have never detected them—you need not search for them.

3.If the medicines are toxic just change brands. Your pharmacist can help you find a replacement brand. Find which ones are toxic and stop using them. (Don't use up any of the polluted pills or supplements.) They do more harm than good.

4.If the clothing or dishes are toxic (appear in the saliva), suspect

Don't eat that food any more.

6. Any bacterium or toxin that invades certain brain centers can cause tremor. The most common culprits are Shigella, mercury, thallium and arsenic. Try to identify these for your sake as well as your loved one.

The Salmonellas and Shigellas will have come from some food. Be sure all dairy foods, including butter and whipping cream, are sterilized. Parasites come from meats. Be sure no undercooked or fast food meats are eaten. Kill all bacteria, viruses and parasites with a zapper. Sterilize fingernails with grain al-

cohol to prevent reinfection. Use Lugol’s (see Recipes) and the

Bowel Program (page 546) to clear them up.

Bacteria, coming from teeth and jaw (bone infections, called cavitations) may not seem as recent as two weeks. Indeed, they may have been there for ten years. But something recent may have aggravated them, so they now can enter more easily into the blood and brain. You may never find out what caused this. It is wisest to check this possibility with a dentist before doing weeks of other testing. See a dentist who can find and clean cavitations. Do dental repair according to the principles described in the dental section.

Going after a tremor problem in this logical way always finds the cause of tremor

whether its a simple short attack or a situation of long standing tremor with head shaking and drooling. If your situation is extra difficult, you will at least improve it and stop its progression. This includes Parkinson's cases.

In cases of Parkinson’s disease I often find the bacterium

Clostridium tetani, well known for causing stiffness. It hides under tooth fillings, too.

Remember, there is a consolation for doing all this work.

When you find the culprit, you not only will be stopping the tremor, you will be improving a lot of other conditions along the way. Conditions like hesitant speech, shuffling walk, getting up stiffly and slowly from a chair. These are extra dividends for your loved one. And you have learned which things to avoid for yourself too.

THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES

One more thing, don't take no for an answer.

If the problem is a drug, don't accept “No, it can't be changed.” Everything can be changed. Go to higher levels of authority. Doctors are very understanding and sympathetic with your intent. If the problem is leaking house gas, don't accept “We can't find a leak,” implying there is none. Go to a building contractor or the Health Department. Their equipment is better. If you get nowhere, change to electric utilities. If the problem is auto exhaust, don't accept “But we have to use the kitchen door to the garage, because it's cold outside.” Conveniences vs. tremor is no contest. Everyone benefits by excluding auto fumes from the house. Lock the door and cover it with plastic. By the time you have identified the culprits (probably 20 hours of work) surely you have won the right to make changes.

Often others are not impressed. Even when the tremor lessens and the elderly person plainly states they feel better, family members may disregard your recommendations. Get tough! It's your loved one. You have something at stake too. Be sympathetic with negative responses. But very firm. Make their choices clear:

•Either the inside door to the garage gets sealed off or the cars and lawn mower get parked outside and anything containing gasoline or solvents gets put in a detached shed.

•Either the girls use their hair dryers in their bedrooms with the door closed or you'll get them all new ones that don't contain asbestos.

•Either the clothes dryer gets a new belt or it is taped securely shut and the laundry is dried on the line or taken to a Laundromat.

•Either the plumbing gets changed (to plastic) or each faucet in the house gets a filter. (If your plumbing is corrod-
