THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES
Constipation Tea......................................................................
Constipation is often caused by E. coli and Salmonella from
dairy foods, or from killing “good” bowel bacteria with antibi-
otics (killing a few by zapping actually restores good flora). Eat
foods that restore the body's good bowel flora: vegetables, ster-
ilized milk (the milk sugar is essential), lots of water.
There are a lot of remedies for constipation, but many people
enjoy this tea:
1 tbs. senna tea leaves
½ tsp. mint leaves
Boil for one minute in a quart of water, add a dash of vitamin
C and brown sugar to taste. Sip through the day to avoid “belly-
ache”. It can take years for the body's flora to “right themselves”
after an antibiotic session, be patient.
Weight Reduction....................................................................
Here are two ancient herbal recipes for obesity. I have not
personally determined their effectiveness.
Fucus
2 oz Fucus vesiculosus, cut (see Sources)
3 cups cold tap water
Boil for 15 minutes, covered. Cool. Dose: ¼ cup four times a
day on an empty stomach. After one week increase dose to ½ cup.
You may add any flavoring desired.
Watch the pot carefully as it comes to a boil. If it boils over,
you will have a month of stove-cleaning to do. The odor of Fu-
cus boiling is wretched. So is the taste. Maybe garlic (fresh)
would improve it.
Fennel
1 oz fennel seed (crushed or powdered is fine)
