Nature's Solution:
A Vogel's Helix Slim drops is a herbal
extract which acts favourably on the digestive system assisting the
body to have proper bowel movements as well as to eliminate excess
fluids from the body tissues. Helix Slim is a valuable slimming aid as
it also helps to regulate blood sugar levels thereby avoiding sugar
cravings which create havoc. A Vogel's Anti-Appetite Formula drops
is a homoeopathic combination remedy which will assist with a ravenous
appetite by enhancing assimilation of nutrients into the bloodstream
and by regulating blood sugar levels. Anti-Appetite Formula is also
calmative to the user while dietary changes are put into place. A
Vogel's Cellulite Formula drops is a homeopathic combination remedy
which is very effective to mobilise the drainage of the lymphatic
system. Toxicity of the lymphatic system often leads to the formation
of unsightly cellulite. People who do not have tonsils or appendix
usually suffer from poor lymphatic drainage, as well as blue eyed
people. Cellulitis Formula is particularly suited to this group. A
Vogel's Kelpasan tablets are a good source of micro-nutrients essential
to help the endocrine system to function normally. The sex glands in
males and females are vitally important to maintain activity in an
energetic life as well as to help regulate male and female hormones
which play an important part in maintaining a healthy weight. A
Vogel's Urticalcin tabs provides essential calcium to the body in an
organic form which is easily assimilated. Calcium levels in the body
needs to be at optimum levels for healthy glandular activity. Calcium
also plays its part in neutralising excess acidity in the obese person
when sugar is eaten often. Urticalcin provides excellent mineral backup
for a person on a restricted diet. A Vogel's Molkosan liquid whey
concentrate will speedily restore order to an over-burdened digestive
tract. The Swiss whey cure is well known for its overall benefits to
the body by cleansing the digestive tract and providing concentrated
nutrients to ensure that the pancreas will function optimally. Apart
from all of this, one teaspoon of Molkosan in a glass of water, 30
minutes before a meal, will help to regulate the appetite while it will
also ensure proper digestion of the meal which will follow. Weight Control (Underweight and Overweight)
In
the past it was thought that being underweight was caused by an
insufficient intake of food and that eating too much resulted in
obesity. However, there are some people who eat a lot and remain
extraordinarily thin, and others who eat very little and still put on
weight. Everything, they say, turns to fat! Meanwhile, research
has shown that dysfunction of the endocrine glands, the glands with
internal secretions, is largely responsible for both excessive
corpulence and thinness. These glands are, primarily, the pituitary,
the ovaries, the testicles and the thyroid. Their over-activity or
imbalance usually leads to thinness, while their insufficiency (or
under-activity) leads to corpulence. It has been observed that removal
of the ovaries, or a disease causing ovarian insufficiency, causes a
person to put on weight. Obesity following menopause confirms the truth
of this statement. Typical examples are the inhabitants of southern
climates. How slim and supple the Italian or the Latin and South
American girls are in the early prime of life. But as soon as the
glandular secretions diminish, which is usually at a much earlier age
in hot countries, they become plump. If the older generation is stout,
solid and comfortable, the reason for this can be traced to the
insufficient functioning of the endocrine glands and, more than
anything else, the sluggishness of the ovaries. In such cases sits
baths and other therapies which stimulate the ovaries (see below) would
be of immense help towards reducing corpulence. 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 Helix Slim, a fresh plant extract, over a
long period of time. Where the ovaries need stimulating, Menstruation
Formula, in combination with a good diet, has given good results. Another
simple method, particularly for stimulating the ovaries, is to take
various foods that contain vitamin E. The most important of these is
wheat germ. There are some people who will not eat wheat germ for feat
of getting fat, because it has also been recommended to thin people who
wish to gain weight. Women need not worry about this, since wheat germ
and its vitamin E content only regulate the function of the ovaries. In
fact, wheat germ stimulates their function in the case of fat people
and reduces their over-activity in the case of thin people; in this way
it actually helps the obese to lose weight and the thin to put it on.
In addition, wheat-germ contains other valuable nutrients, such as
vegetable protein, phosphates and natural sugar, all of which have a
good effect on the body without the danger of causing an abnormal
weight increase. So if you suffer from obesity, do not hesitate to eat
wheat germ, for it will not increase your weight but regulate or
control it. Then there are those people who do not eat any food
rich in vitamins because they are afraid they might overdose
themselves. This fear is only justified where synthetic vitamins are
concerned, for, indeed, they can produce an overdose. However, such a
thing cannot happen with natural vitamins contained in biological
remedies and organically grown food. Being an integral part of organic
compounds they are never present in harmful concentrations. The body
absorbs from the food only what it needs, while any surplus of certain
natural vitamins is stored up or disposed of. For these reasons
synthetic vitamins can never equal the natural ones. We may be able to
analyse things, but when it comes to synthesising a biological
equivalent we often fail. We simply do not know all the secrets hidden
in these plants. How much more desirable it is, therefore, to turn to
natural, biological sources, because the things the Creator has made
for us can never be surpassed or equalled with synthetic products. Guidelines for slimming without Danger
Obese
people must never let themselves be persuaded to take a commercial
slimming preparation. Except for seaweed, never take an ordinary
preparation that contains iodine, since iodine is a dangerous element
and should be used only in homoeopathic potencies and with the greatest
caution. So if you do not know the contents of a slimming product, be
sure to find out and reject it if it contains iodine. Remember, the
safest way to lose weight is by means of a suitable diet and a
well-planned programme of physical therapy. They are dangerous not only
to the health but to life itself. Some people who have taken these
preparations have met a tragic end. If you feel you must lose weight,
take nothing but natural remedies. When deciding how to approach
a problem of obesity it is first necessary to identify its cause. It is
no doubt true that excess weight is often caused by an improper diet,
or by eating to much. The unfortunate consequences in that case have
their origin in too good an appetite. However, as discussed in the
preceding section, there are some people who gain weight despite the
fact that they eat very little. These people cannot reduce their weight
simply by cutting down on the amount of food they consume. Advice on
safe approaches to both types of problem is given below. Disorders of the endocrine glands
Those
who put on weight although they eat very little suffer from impaired
functioning of the endocrine glands. In my medical practice I have
observed cases where the gonads as well as the pituitary gland and even
the thyroid were responsible for obesity. If such functional disorders
have been existing since youth, the gonads are generally underdeveloped
or retarded as far as proper activity and hormone production is
concerned. In such cases, fat is often deposited on the hips and waist
only and never on the arms and legs, so that these limbs are not
excessively big. In women the breasts show considerable fat deposits
instead of being the shapely glands they normally are. Sagging breast,
due to a malfunction of the ovaries, are often an additional worry of
overweight women. This type of obesity cannot be dealt with
successfully either by dieting or any other kind of slimming course.
Weight loss may be possible only if the causes are treated. This means
that the gonads must be stimulated and the thyroid as well as the
pituitary must be given attention. When choosing medication we will
certainly want to turn to seaweed, especially as contained in Kelpasan,
for reliable results. The diet should be low in protein and all
white flour products should be avoided, as well as white sugar.
Instead, stick to a natural whole-food diet and take plenty of juices,
including beetroot, carrot and celery. A carrot juice diet is
beneficial. Juices of organic grapefruit, grapes and oranges are also
excellent. Experience will tell which juice suits you best, because
certain acids, although harmless to people in good health, do not
always agree with someone who is not quite so well. If you want to
achieve good results without complications, follow the reactions of
your body and take care. Also, drink only reasonable quantities of the
juices, because you could do more harm than good by overdoing it.
Caution is recommended even when the juices and remedies which are to
help reduce weight are natural. Exercise and deep-breathing,
preferably in mountain or ocean air, are amongst some of the best
remedies for stimulating the glands. Where the appetite is a
contributory cause of obesity it requires attention too. People whose
digestion works well, or whose body metabolises food efficiently have a
tendency toward a ferocious appetite. For them the most effective
remedy is to follow the old and tested principle that you should stop
eating when the food tastes best! A diet prescribed for this situation
must follow certain rules: it must be low in carbohydrates and fats and
high in raw and fresh produce, that is, raw vegetables either as salads
or as juices. It is important to avoid all kinds of sweets and
white flour products. If you like soups, forget cream soups and leave
them to those who want to put on weight! Since beer is one of the worst
things an obese person can drink, the need to avoid it may be a real
stumbling block for some men. As regards meat, limit your intake to
lean muscle-fibre cuts. What is more, it is best to remove all animal
fats from your kitchen lest you be tempted to use them. One exception
is fresh butter, which may be eaten in limited quantities. Season your
food with the various kinds of cress, horseradish, paprika, curry and
yeast extracts, as well as Herbamare and Plantaforce. These herbs and
spices have a stimulating effect on the endocrine glands and the
metabolic processes. Medications claiming to melt down fat are
highly dangerous and should be avoided at all cost, for one's health is
more precious than a trim figure. Preparations containing seaweed and
cellulose, which expand in volume, are tolerated for a short period of
time, but after a while the patient gets tired of them. The best
weight-reducing plan is one that utilises kelp, since it contains
minerals in concentrated form and potassium iodide. Kelp not only
stimulates the function of the endocrine glands, as mentioned earlier,
and consequently helps to reduce weight, but it also induces a positive
feeling of wellbeing. A word of caution, however: people suffering from
exophthalmic goitre must take kelp only in homoeopathic doses. Kelp is
known to be one of the richest of all seaweeds. It will suffice,
therefore, if the person takes one or two Kelpasan tablets in the
morning and at noon, and Helix Slim as directed, a steady reduction of
weight will be noticed from month to month, and the general condition
of health and vitality will improve at the same time. Many patients
have been helped to lose weight by taking Kelpasan and can testify to
the truth of this statement. Some useful information
Obesity
often begins in childhood. Children are weaned onto solid food too soon
or are given too much food for their needs, causing weight gain. Very
often parents indulge their children providing a feast of refined
carbohydrates and white flour foods, sugar, sweets, cold-drinks, fatty
take-away foods and potato chips. These children's bodies adapt to this
type of food which requires high levels of insulin to process. As they
get older and become more sedentary, these people will gain weight
alarmingly. These people will always tell you that they really don't
eat that much, but gain weight easily. For them, it is necessary to
create a brand new chemistry response to food.
Breast fed babies on
regular controlled feeds will have less of a weight issue in their
lives than artificially on demand fed infants. Excessive breastfeeding
can also lead to obesity. It needs to be noted that the breastfeeding
mother's diet needs to be healthy to produce healthy milk! An obese
mother who eats an unhealthy diet of refined foods can do much harm to
her baby via her breast milk.
Most obese people have problems with
blood sugar levels. They can also suffer more easily from raised
cholesterol levels, and high blood pressure. Obese people are more
prone to diabetes, strokes and heart attacks.
Obesity will result
from the disturbed bio-chemistry in the person in response to a diet
high in fats, sugars, refined flour and low activity levels.
Remember, 20 minutes of fast walking per day can easily help to slim excess weight from the body over a period of time.
Alcohol
is a refine carbohydrate! It should be avoided along with sugar and
white flour products to ensure a steady drop in weight. How could you judge if you are overweight?
(a) Look in the mirror. If you look like a blob and not a figure 8, you have a problem!
(b)
If you float easily in water it means you have plenty of fat. When you
begin to sink easily on exhalation, you are getting there!
Carrying
excess weight should be addressed as soon as possible. The damage it
does to the body, mind,and soul, robs people of a joyous life. What to do: - Follow
a basic diet which includes raw fruit, raw vegetables, cooked
vegetables, proteins, unrefined carbohydrates and natural unprocessed
fats and oils. Please refer to the "Back to Good Health" diet sheet to
give you an idea of a healthy eating plan.
- Do not overeat.
Rather have frequent small meals throughout the day.Do not eat on the
run. You will not know how much you have eaten as your attention is
elsewhere. Focus on your meal or your snack.
- Get a proper
medical assessment to exclude any possibility of something else being
wrong in the body which could be causing chemical disturbances and
weight gain.
- Learn how to prepare meals from whole-food
ingredients. This is a lifelong pursuit in health. Your interest needs
to be maintained in this new lifestyle. The typical yo-yo weight swing
happens when people have lost some weight, but they go back to their
old habits! Old habits need to be replaced by knowledge of why a new
habit must be found.
- Do not follow fad diets. Do not expect to
lose weight overnight. A gradual weight loss is desired as the body
will adjust, with no harm done. Remember, it took years of overeating
to get to where you are. Keep your focus and intention on good healthy
living to which the weight loss will be a bonus.
- Do not starve
yourself. Eat regular healthy meals to regulate body chemistry which in
turn will assist with the restoration of your body function and will
result automatically in weight loss.
- Live a life of self
respect and no compromise. Self-control and self-respect and self-worth
all go hand in hand. To make a glutton of yourself carries no
self-respect and the disgust you will have for yourself will perpetuate
this destructive behaviour.
Summary
Obesity can
start in childhood when excessive refined carbohydrates, sugars, juices
and milk is fed to young children. Lack of exercise, together with a
diet of refined foods will result in obesity. The goal should be to
lose the excess weight gradually over a few months, even years. A
lifestyle change needs to be put in place with a different set of
values. This is the key to success.Glandular disturbances could
be at the root of weight issues and should be diagnosed professionally.
This is rare however. In areas in the world where no food is available,
everybody generally gets thin! Rather say to yourself that you are
following a lifestyle to keep you well; not thin. Make your
focus wellness, the thinness will come automatically.A Vogel's Helix
Slim, Anti-Appetite Formula, Cellulitis Formula, Molkosan and
Urticalcin will all help you to become well. Use them
regularly.Bio-Strath Herbal Yeast Elixir or tablets is a must for any
person on a restricted diet to provide essential nutrients at all times
