How to make an infection healing poultice
If it should happen that you have a serious wound infection going on far away from any medical help try this:
1. Obtain charcoal powder [from burning wood] and mix with sterile (boiled) water into a paste.
2. Obtain sterile gauze, cheese cloth or some kind of thin cloth.
3. Clean around the wound with Hydrogen Peroxide [H2 O2] or water.
4. Put one layer of sterile gauze over the wound, cut to a shape covering the wound, and add about 1-1.5 inches around it.
5. Put a generous, moist layer of charcoal paste on the cloth over the wound.
6. Put more layers of cloth or gauze over the charcoal and seal it with celophan tape or some type of tape to keep the moisture inside while taking care not to wrap it around the arm or leg completely to avoid restricting circulation and hyper sensitivity to the tape.
7. Change charcoal application 2-3 times per day, every 8 hours using fresh charcoal and clean around the wound with Hydrogen Peroxide each time.
8. You may also use silver colloid to act as a natural antibiotic before applying charcoal.
9. You should notice a change for the better soon.
10. Infectious appearing wounds caused by other than bacteria like parasites may require additional help.
The above method relies on your own body's immune defense mechanisms to eventually overcome the infectious bacteria within hours or 2-4 days. The charcoal paste should absorb pus and fluids oozing from a wound so remaining, still viable organisms in the dead white blood cells (pus) will not re-enter the infection cycle all over again. Keeping the wound clean helps bring the healing process to a faster resolution.

Patients with a compromised or weak immune system may not benefit from this treatment.



Persistent Itching
A 65 year old patient complained of persistent itching. This had been going on for quite along time already and involved mostly his ipper body, especially the back since it could not be soothed by hand rubbing. The cause was quite a mystery. What could be done to relief it?
Since the patient had no medical insurance, he just hoped to hit upon some information that would help. However, after some time had passed, itchy red dots appeared. He then knew that his body was fighting an infectious agent. What to do now? In desperation one day he obtained some garlic. He sliced a portion and rubbed it on the skin, as well as eat it with his meal. Within some 30 to 40 hours he was sure relief was real. The whole problem disappeared over a seven to ten day period.
But what was the cause? He then remembered hearing about peanut butter having been recalled because it made people sick. He also had been eating peanut butter sandwiches during that time. He was now sure that he had been infected by that route and glad to find a solution. For any other causes would make no sense.
Another side effect the garlic had, it healed a ringworm infection on his leg.

THE FIRST NATURAL REMEDY

FOR SMALLPOX

Smallpox, by Dr. Vivian Virginia Vetrano:

A dead disease is being resurrected. Now the media will have something exciting to talk about every day and to frighten the benighted American public with. For whatever reason, the revivification of smallpox is certainly on the current agenda.

Not too long ago Fox News showed us a picture of a man who was covered with smallpox pustules on his arms, face, legs and abdomen. The pustules were big, black, ugly, scabby, and closely compacted. He looked like he was a monster from some other world. It was enough to scare me, were it not for the fact that I know that it was drug treatment that caused that ugly picture and not the disease at all. The cause of those ugly marks was carbolic acid that had been used to kill the supposed germ that caused the eruptive rash.

Who are the terrorists? The pharmaceutical companies or the Taliban? Because of what the terrorists may or may not do, the pharmaceutical industry (the largest industry in the world) is gearing us up for mandatory vaccinations, especially for certain people in areas that may be targeted by the terrorists. The authorities claim that we will be safe from terrorists attacks using the pox virus because there are adequate stockpiles of cultivated smallpox viruses in Russia and in the USA to make most all the vaccines "needed."

It is claimed by medical historians that the vaccination process wiped out smallpox throughout the world. However, the truth is that compulsory vaccination was abandoned because more deaths were caused by the vaccinations than there were cases of smallpox. A slight of the hand trick was used to foster the claim that smallpox was eradicated by the vaccination practice. Everyone who had been vaccinated and who developed smallpox was diagnosed as having chicken pox!

The doctors who were interviewed on recent television shows admit that the vaccine may cause many serious side effects and that a certain number of persons will develop painful and sometimes lethal sequelae. Yet, they advise that it is better to take the chance and be vaccinated in spite of these dangers.

Edward Jenner, a notorious fake and quack, is credited with having "discovered" vaccination. However, it was a practice of many ancient peoples long before his time. Savage and barbaric tribes in various parts of the world practiced inoculation even before Jenner's time. It is conjectured to have begun in India and then spread to Africa and Europe. Lady Mary Wortley Montague, wife of the British Ambassador to the Ottoman Court in 1717, introduced the practice to Europe. But, due to its proven evils, one of which was an increase in smallpox in England, the practice was abolished in 1840.

It is pertinent that James Phipps, the eight-year-old boy vaccinated by Jenner in 1896, died at the age of 20. He had been re-vaccinated twenty times. Jenner's own son who had also been vaccinated more than once died at the young age of twenty-one. Both succumbed to tuberculosis, a condition that some researchers have linked to the smallpox vaccine (Eleanor McBean, The Poisoned Needle, 28, 29, 66).

According to the medical profession smallpox, or variola, is an acute highly infectious and contagious disease characterized by a specific rash. According to past and present natural hygienic practitioners, smallpox is primarily a disease brought about by gastrointestinal putrescence. Fermenting and rotting food in the intestinal tract enervates and causes increased digestive impairment accompanied by increased systemic toxemia. The toxins are from the absorption of the fermentation products formed in the intestinal tract. Since those who overeat, especially on animal products, are enervated (meaning they lack normal nerve function), all the organs of elimination are functioning on a lower physiological level and greater toxicity ensues. Toxins from decomposing animal foods are highly irritating; so the body has to get rid of them quickly and must use extraordinary means, since the organs of elimination are not functioning well. Therefore, the poisons are carried by the blood to the skin and the body eliminates them in various forms of skin eruptions.

Smallpox is about as contagious as stumbling over a rock. Dr. Herbert M. Shelton slept in the same bed with his brother while the latter was in the so-called infectious stage with vesicles all over. Yet Dr. Shelton did not develop smallpox.

Smallpox begins with the same symptoms that many acute diseases do—such as chills, fever, backache, and vomiting. This is indicative of a common cause and a common way to deal with the cause. The body is a magnificent ecosystem; and, when it finds abnormal and extraneous substances anywhere within its domain, it creates a higher temperature, purposely, to overcome the foreign proteins, toxic substances, viruses, bacteria, or other microorganisms. Whatever is upsetting the ecosystem must be corrected by the organism itself. It needs no alien "cures." The symptoms should not be "cured." To suppress these symptoms assures that some other worse problem will develop.

Some substances, such as an excess of protein putrefactive products, are so toxic that it is urgent to eliminate them immediately. The papular eruption of smallpox is purposely created and chosen as the correct channel at the time for the elimination of these types of noxious substances. Furthermore, the body may not have the specific enzymes to biodegrade whatever it is. Instead of being taken care of by the liver or the kidneys, the body chooses to eject them through the skin. Vicarious elimination such as this are often natural emergency measures.

Smallpox begins with chills, fever, backache, headache, and vomiting. A fever of 103 to 104 degrees F. is customary. The high fever increases the healing activities of the cells; and it is a most efficient way to accomplish the needed detoxification. This means that the toxins are now out of the functioning cells and in the blood near the skin. The body no longer needs to speed up cellular metabolism in order to cast out the extraneous substances and the fever subsides. In about two days, the fever and other symptoms subside. This is when the inflammatory rash appears. It turns into an elevation of the skin, called a papule. The blister becomes dimpled or umbilicated. The rash and the development of the papules indicate that the irritants, or toxic substances, have been removed by the hyperactive, feverish cells and carried to the skin to be cast out.

Next the little papules become vesicles, like a blister, except that each papule has a little dimple in it. This is the so-called stage that is supposed to be infective or contagious, should anyone touch the person having smallpox. After the vesicles are formed, they may become pustules filled with white blood cells if the individual is extra toxic. The white blood cells are there to destroy the toxins in the vesicles. But, this stage would never be reached if cared for hygienically. The papules dry up and form scabs that eventually fall off. When treated improperly, they will leave a scar.

It is pertinent to recognize that when the eruption begins, the fever subsides. The patient would normally be on the road to recovery were it not for the medications given by the doctor. Medical treatment, however, consists in using something that kills the microbes which they assume cause the rash; so it has to be something such as a disinfectant that destroys cell life. This is consistent with their medical dogma. Therefore, in the past, the profession applied gauze that had been soaked in antiseptic solutions such as phenol (carbolic acid) or bichloride of mercury (mercuric chloride and corrosive sublimate). Both these agents, carbolic acid and mercuric chloride, are corrosive.

After applying the gauze, soaked in either carbolic acid or mercuric chloride, to the lesions, they were covered with more gauze. Being tightly wrapped with gauze, the exudate from the vesicle or papule was retained in the lesion and not allowed to drain away when it ruptured. Naturally, bacteria are going to invade this lesion, to clean up the excreted matter. This corrosive treatment also destroyed living tissues, including the protective phagocytic white blood cells and the surrounding skin and subcutaneous tissues. A high second fever was urgently needed, to once again begin warfare on the extraneous poisons and the invading bacteria.

Either of the two corrosive drugs used can now ooze its way into the vital domain and impede normal function of all the cells in the body while completely annihilating many. Ugly black confluent pustules mar the skin. The rash gets worse. Vesicles turn into pustules. The pustules become swollen and more inflamed. The inflammation around them spreads and the lesions fuse together. These pathological effects were caused by the drugs.

It is clear that the condition worsens because of the treatment. The primary symptoms (i.e. the fever, chills, headache, and backache) were suppressed by pharmaceuticals. The stifling of symptoms with medication prevented the body from completing its job of cleansing, and increased the internal toxemia. As a result, the umbilicated blisters with clear fluid in them became pustules filled with dead and dying tissues and white blood cells. The change to a pustule is the direct result of the damaging effects of medications, whether taken internally or applied to the skin. It is incredible that the physicians did not recognize the lethality of their practice. But, then, they do not recognize it today either. They are blinded by bygone theories.

These substances may have killed microorganisms; but they also killed human tissues and, in reality, caused the pustules and all the terrible complications and symptoms thought to be caused by the germ. Let me emphasize: The symptoms thought to be smallpox are symptoms caused by the treatment. They were so yesterday just as they are today and always will be in the future, as long as we insist on clinging to the idea that disease is something "caught" and that symptoms must be gotten rid of by unnatural means. As long as we try to eradicate disease with anything, and especially man-made chemicals, we will suffer more than if we merely put up with the symptoms.

All the various treatments, to kill microbes which are "causing" the disease, are killing the patient. They are not permitting the body to eliminate toxins or restore the blood and tissues to their normal healthy condition. All treatments, no matter how benign they are claimed to be, impede the recovery process itself. By using treatments of any kind and getting rid of a rash by rash means, or to doctor it in any way, is the disastrous blunder that causes horrible side effects, more disease and even death.

Hemorrhagic smallpox or what is known as "black smallpox" is an even more serious type of smallpox and the patient often died. Again, this serious type of smallpox was directly caused by the cell-killing drugs. Pustules often developed in the throat and mouth. When an acidic drug is placed on living tissues, it kills them. The skin and mucous membranes are already inflamed and are less protective than normal skin. Therefore, the destructive acids can be absorbed and cause greater internal toxemia. Carbolic acid or mercuric chloride caused the hemorrhaging of the skin and also hemorrhaging into the pustule. Either one of the corrosive drugs also destroyed the kidney cells and caused bloody urine noted in many hapless smallpox patients.

There were also many serious complications of this type of treatment in addition to the common ordinary ones that were erroneously thought to be symptoms of smallpox, but we won't go into them now.

From time immemorial, people have been frightened of disease. It was a curse, an evil spirit, or evil demon that caused the problem. Also from time immemorial people have thought it necessary to exorcise the disease, to placate and appease the evil spirit or demon, to give sacrifices to some god in order to get the demon or evil spirit out of them. In modern times we do the same. We have not grown in knowledge. We just put the evil spirits in the magician's top hat and pulled out the evil germs and evil viruses. We still exorcise, placate, appease, and eradicate the evil microbe or evil virus. Whatever symptoms we have, they are felt to be extraneous, foreign, and not from us; so they must be eradicated or extirpated. We still fear death from the simplest of diseases. Whatever it is, it must be extirpated or eradicated. We do it not with incantations but with substances much more evil than anything used in the past.

Hygienic Care. If hygienic care had been resorted to in the beginning of smallpox, no complications would have occurred and there would rarely be a genuine pustule. With hygienic management, the disease would not have to progress to the second stage with pustules or a second fever. It would only become pustular if the individual prevented drainage of the vesicle and continued eating a heavy diet. The vesicles containing the unwanted debris that was in the organs and tissues would burst. The clear fluid containing the toxic substances would flow out onto the skin. Frequent warm sponge baths would wash away all the poisonous debris. The inflammation of the skin would heal and that would be the end of the disease. There would be no horrendous pustules or other complications brought about by the medications. If individuals kept themselves clean, and did not take off the scabs until they fell off naturally, there would be no unsightly pockmarks. People are always too anxious to pull scabs away. To do so is to expose the lesion to the atmosphere before the skin has completely healed below it. The skin then has to quickly heal over before it has completed restoring the underlying tissues. This, naturally leaves a pit or scar. The extensive boils and gangrene that regularly occurred would not have taken place had no corrosive drugs been used.

If you think those symptoms are bad, and that we do not use any medicine so lethal as corrosive sublimate and carbolic acid today, you'd better rethink the problem. Today's drugs are even more lethal because they are designed to be easily absorbed, spread to every tissue and cell in the body, and kill cells all over the body. Do not put your hope in medical "care." The only care you need is a healthy body and to let it do its thing.

You do not have to fear smallpox, even if you should develop it, as long as you immediately quit eating and go to bed and rest, drinking pure water only when thirsty. Smallpox is a disease of the bon vivant, epicurean, who overeats on a daily basis, especially on animal foods. The condition of enervation is built by anyone who does not secure sufficient rest and sleep to permit the elimination of endogenic and exogenic toxins, and for the restoration of the nervous system. Once the stage of enervation is established, digestion is further impaired and the body is flooded with fermentation and decomposition products from the intestines. This is what is called Toxemia and Toxicosis. Toxicosis makes it exigent and imperative that these toxins be eliminated immediately by extraordinary means, such as through the skin.

Every single cell in your body is capable of eliminating and destroying various microorganisms and their waste products, as well as man-made organic products; but most man-made products are more toxic than those made by bacteria, and they cause more damage than bacterial waste products. It can be disastrous when the body is overwhelmed by substances that do not belong inside it and which the body cannot use under any circumstance of life. And this is what happens when diseases are "treated." Your body is inundated with toxic substances and it may drown.

That concludes the article by Dr. Vivian Virginia Vetrano. She graduated in 1965 from the Texas Chiropractic College, summa cum laude. After working at Dr. Shelton's Health School for several years she continued her studies elsewhere.


Basic Methods of Healing

These few guidelines are gleaned from the book Natural Remedies Encyclopedia by V. Ferrell & H. Cherne, M.D. to get you interested and acquainted with a broad field in health care not taught in modern medicine. The Notice to the reader says, "This Encyclopedia contains hundreds of simple, natural healing methods which have NOT received official medical or governmental approval. Therefore, you use this book at your OWN RISK. Although you have a right to treat yourself, official medical opinion advises that you consult your physician and follow his directives. This book is designed to provide accurate and authoritative information; yet this information is not intended as a substitute for medical advice. The publisher and authors expressly disclaim responsibility for any unforeseen consequence arising from the use of the information contained herein.



Our nation is in trouble. We deeply love our country. But while a flood of sickness and disease is gradually overwhelming the lives of our people and the economy of our nation, there is a far greater crisis confronting us. One which none of our remedies can cure.

None of us live very long. The end of our probation comes with death; this day is our final opportunity to make peace with God. Yet millions have abandoned Him. But above all the noises around us - God speaks. It is urgent. We must Turn Back To Him and Keep His Commandments - for He said so.

The foundations of our society at large are crumbling to pieces. A flood of fast and unrighteous living is darkening minds unable to see their true, precarious situation. Jesus is Coming Again. Who will be ready?

We like to put before you the good work of renewing our hearts and minds to receive a knowledge of God and His sure to unfolding purposes for humanity. In this section we speak of how to live healthy - the way God wanted us to be. The book we paraphrase or quote from is a thick volume and contains thousands of easy solutions as seen by the practitioners of these methods to deal with over 730 diseases and physical problems.

The book explains that flowers, fruits, and vegetables which are grown in good soil will always be superior to those grown in depleted soils. And so it is, when a person becomes ill, the body has built-in ways to produce healing. These are being explored and described.

Our bodies are subject to wear and tear. When sickness strikes, the regular functions are temporarily set aside and the body goes to work to regenerate itself. Instead of using energy for food digestion and muscular activity, the body switches to cleansing, repair, and rebuilding.

The dis-ease causes weariness of toxic overload in our organs - it is no longer `at - ease'. Disease, therefore, is the bodies effort to cleanse itself of toxins. This effort can be helped by human intervention in order to restore health. Basic components to help this process along is, a) pure air, b) wholesome food, c) gentle help by caretakers, d) rest, and e) pure water.

What is the difference between more modern medical care and natural health care? Today, medical care consists primarily of prescribing chemical drugs and or surgery. The chemicals used, however, are poisonous, yet people get well! So, what has happened?

While the disease causes the body to shut down or reduce all extra functions to facilitate healing itself, you feel weak, can't eat and you are tired. The healing functions are in progress and need help in order to succeed. Yet, people take pills and medications - poisonous drugs - and introduce them into their body which responds by stopping the normal self-healing process to now go about to fight the poisons.

The tables are turned. While the sickness may apparently go away, stay on or else get worse you consider surgery or more drug treatments. If the sickness seemed to go away, yet, true healing did not take place just because you took drugs and don't feel bad anymore. Additional poisons are now in the body which many times will take a long time to neutralize, or "squeeze" out of the system. Some of them can cause reactions at a later time.

In the natural method, a juice diet is often followed. When a person is distressed (physically, mentally, or emotionally), it is a far better method to use methods to get back to normal rather than using drugs. The book details the methods, rotations of diet and so on.

Such a program enables the body to cleanse itself of retained wastes instead of allowing those wastes to remain and cause the organs to deteriorate. When drugs are introduced they often accelerate the process of deterioration. Too much and unnecessary food, drinks and those items, which people on the fast track consume, only clog the system further causing a number of associated ailments, none of which help toward return to healthy conditions. Faulty foods are a basic cause of chronic diseases. They affect the digestive systems by irritation, inflammation, ulceration, and neoplastic changes, as well as the entire biochemistry of the body. - At some point in life disaster may strike.

A person who is ill needs rest and blood and tissue cleansing. This is done at first by rest and fresh, raw fruit and vegetable juices. Sick people have frequently little appetite. That is normal and it is best to work with nature, rather than against it.

When starting the fruit juice program make sure to use raw produce like carrots, beets and celery prepared with a juicing machine. - In some instances, care takers give fruit juices in addition to regular menus for the day. That does not work. A patient suffering from inflammatory disease processes such as hypertension, bronchial asthma, arthritis, nephrites or endocarditis, can be helped in a curative way only when systematically treated by means of raw fruit and vegetable juices. They provide an ideal combination of staple food to meet the needs of the sick, so they can regain their health.

The book explains additional dietary helpful methods.



Causes of Cancer & Overcoming It

According to the experience of a physician who came down with cancer, she knew that modern medicine treats cancer in a terrible way because it involves causing additional, intense suffering to a person who is already ill. Speaking to another physician, she pointed out that chemotherapy and radiation also cause cancer and destroy the immune system which is needed to overcome it. She changed her diet, leaving out all meats, poultry, fish, milk, cheese and dairy products. Believing that cancer is caused from variations of (1) malnutrition, (2) dehydration, and (3) stress, she embarked on a regiment of getting plenty of fresh vegi foods, drinking fluids like water and fruit juices. For many people consuming alcohol, that causes dehydration. In her mind, all disease is the result of an immune system which is not working properly.



Sweating Treatment

Anytime you undergo a treatment which causes you to sweat excessively you must think fresh air and overheating. A 20 minute steam bath will raise the body temperature about 2 degrees Fahrenheit and produce a rise in blood pressure. Do not use steam baths in diabetes, valvular heart disease, extreme arteriosclerosis, and in all conditions associated with emaciation. Also think fluid loss, thereby, that it may cause an electrolyte imbalance; particularly a Potassium imbalance. Of the electrolytes (Sodium (+), Potassium (+) and Chloride (-), Potassium is the more critical since it is of a smaller normal range present. CO2 (Bicarbonate) is the electrolyte balancing agent. Your electrolyte balance should be about within 10 mEqu. That means if your Sodium level is 138 milliEquivalents/Liter and your Potassium is 4.3 mEqu/L, that adds up to 142.3 mEqu/L which should be balanced in the negative side by a Chloride content of around 112 mEqu/L and a CO2 of some 22 mEqu/L, Thus your balance is 142 to 134. If your balance is 150 to 125 you are in imbalance because the difference is more than 10 mEqu.
A normal sodium-potassium balance must be maintained at all times. If no medical facility is in your area where you can ascertain your electrolyte, acid-base balance with a good degree of accuracy, you must eat foods which are rich in potassium, i.e. all green leafy vegetables, thick white potato peelings and bananas. Also drink saline water at regular intervals (ca. 1 tablespoon rock salt in a larger size glass of water). Do everything in moderation, also the sweating. Sweating can help in chronic rheumatism with obesity, gout, Bright's disease, chronic alcoholism and tobacco addictions. [Try to get off all addictive substances. For one thing they may shorten your life and help it end in tragic pains, but such is also forbidden in the Word of God which says that such forfeit their salvation - unnecessarily so, because such a person ought to make efforts to correct it. There is help available if you look for it. We encourage you to get over it with all the will power and determination you can muster. There is nothing more important in life than to be right with God.]
Lack of Potassium causes Sodium salt to accumulate in your body. The result is edema, high blood pressure, and heart failure. The heart muscle can be damaged. Constipation, extreme fatigue, muscular weakness, low blood pressure and nervous disorder. A low potassium, high sodium diet helps produce cancer, plus the ailments just mentioned above. The reverse protects against those diseases. You can easily take too much sodium, but you cannot take too much dietary potassium. Normal ranges for Potassium is usually ca. 3.5-4.5 mEqu depending on the Lab normal values which measures your levels. When in doubt always seek medical care.
