No one can prevent the process of aging, nor waning vitality, which can take place at different rates for different people. There is little point in being too grieved about it; just remember that you have gained experience, wisdom and skills in those past years, things that can help you to replace the decreasing energy to the extent that the achievements of an experienced man are able to surpass those of a youth still full of vitality. Even in the area of technology it is not so much the existing knowledge and power but their skilful use that raises its potential to the maximum heights.
Beware of exerting yourself to the limit, leading to complete exhaustion, because every violation of biological laws will find its revenge and you may have to pay a bitter price.

On the other hand, our own domestic animals are not necessarily safe either and can also transmit disease. For instance, it is possible to contract brucellosis by drinking infected raw milk. This animal disease, which is characterised by a recurrent or undulating fever is by no means pleasant and is difficult to cure, unless powerful doses of vitamin E are given. Most people know that cats and dogs can easily transmit worms to humans if no care is taken and close contact with the animals maintained. For one thing, never let these pets lick your hands when they try to show their joy and enthusiasm. Then there are some forms of eczema that can be transmitted to humans by cows, mainly the calves. Beware of these conditions too, since it is often very hard to cure them. Dab the eruption at once with diluted Molkosan (whey concentrate). It usually helps to kill the causative agents.
Even if pets and animals are dear to you and you love them, remember the reasons why it is necessary to keep them at a proper distance. Moreover, do not think of flies and mosquitoes as being harmless and entitled to fly around your home. Make a determined effort to rid the home of these and other insects and you will be much less likely to suffer from infectious diseases.

While milk is a valuable food for growing children, is must be free from impurities and pathogenic matter, which it may contain if the animals are housed under poor hygienic conditions. The quality and biological value of milk also depend upon the animals’ feed. Some farmers use excessive quantities of concentrated feed or artificial fertilisers for their fields. Milk produced by their cows is not 100 per cent safe and the consumer would be advised to boil it. Since in some countries there is still the danger of brucellosis, in this case, too, it would also be advisable to boil milk. However, if you are fortunate enough to live, or spend your holidays, in the mountains where the cows roam freely, no such safety measures will be needed and you can drink the milk without any hesitation or risk. Good pure milk and wholewheat bread, and of course vegetables and fruit and other natural, wholesome foods, are essential to good growth and health.

People of a lymphatic constitution, who frequently have reason to complain of swollen glands, should make the fullest use possible of all available berries. They are excellent for the glands, and may also help to reduce susceptibility to infectious diseases of the respiratory organs.
Mothers-to-be will similarly benefit from berries. When there are sufficient vitamins and minerals in the blood, most of the ailments associated with pregnancy can be avoided. Since vitamin Ñ prevents morning sickness, it is recommended to eat food rich in this vitamin during pregnancy.
Allergic problems and the weariness often felt in the spring, the so-called ‘spring fever’, will be alleviated or even overcome by eating plenty of berries. Of course, we are referring to berries in their fresh, raw state. Eat as many as possible before preserving or bottling the surplus. You must remember, however, not to use white sugar for preserving, since it is a calcium robber and can cause problems. Rely on the fruit’s own sugar instead, which, after all, is the most valuable sugar of all and berries are very rich in it. Since extra sugar is needed to make jam, use unrefined brown cane sugar with at least 10-20 per cent grape concentrate added, to give it still greater nutritional value.

Eggs should come from healthy, naturally fed, free-running (free-range) poultry, if at all possible. When eaten raw, they are more wholesome than any other way. However, since it is quite possible that eggs contain hazardous bacteria, great care should be taken in choosing one’s supplier. Sick chickens usually carry these bacteria and can transmit them through their eggs. Duck eggs are known as carriers of the paratyphoid bacillus, although the birds themselves may appear to be quite healthy. For this reason, be especially careful with duck eggs.
Nevertheless, eggs are rich in lecithin, which is a valuable nerve food. Raw egg stimulates the flow of bile. Healthy eggs can be beaten raw into soup before serving, or mixed with honey or some other natural sugar and eaten in this way. Eggs are also rich in protein, especially the yolk, although most people make the mistake of assuming that the protein is found chiefly in the egg white.
