There is yet something else in the grain, cellulose, and some may argue that we can do without this outer preservative layer that envelops each grain as if with a fine cellophane film. True, it is indigestible and cannot be assimilated, but its action is nevertheless a necessary one for the intestinal tract. It cleanses its lining, which is studded with villi, tiny microscopic processes that assist assimilation. These hair-like processes are apt to become clogged up if the food ingested consists of too much material lacking in roughage. It is here that the cellulose-containing bran or fibre, comes in. Its particles scrape along the intestinal walls, cleaning away the filmy adhesions and at the same time stimulating peristalsis, the wavelike contractions of the intestines that press their contents onward and so prevent constipation. In fact, if everyone ate natural wholefoods, containing starch, minerals, nutrients and roughage in the right proportions, no one would suffer from poor digestion or constipation.

Many years ago, I drew attention to my experience in the treatment of internal and external carcinomas with whey concentrate. Frequently, the mere swabbing of external cancerous growths and skin cancer has -proved very effective. I vividly remember one special case of a cancerous tumour on the calf of the leg. When the surgeon had removed it he told the nurse in attendance that he felt doubtful about the wound ever healing. Still, we swabbed it with Molkosan and, to the surgeon’s astonishment, it did heal very well and fast. Other successful cures have been achieved by giving whey concentrate orally and externally and I am happy to say that Dr Kuhl, having made his own experiments, now acknowledges the importance of lactic acid in the treatment of cancer.

Mrs Schlenz was neither a medical doctor nor a naturopath, but a simple housewife and mother. She had, however, an appreciation for nature and a gift for observation. In caring for her children she realised that they were too delicate to benefit from Kneipp’s cold water treatment, so she thought of giving them hot water treatments instead. Some doctors had given baths of increasing temperature (Uberwarmungsbader in German) with good results even before she began to use them and continued to do so after the introduction of her method, but orthodox medicine in her native country paid no attention to her experience.

Garlic milk may be prepared cooked or uncooked. In the raw state, uncooked, it is more potent. Cooking lessens the smell somewhat and the effect is still quite satisfactory.

To make garlic milk use a garlic press, obtainable from hardware stores, to crush the garlic. Add the pulp to uncooked milk (two raw cloves to 100 ml/3.5 fl. oz) and drink it. If you prefer, you can boil the garlic in the milk.

For the maximum effect one should drink 200 ml (half a pint) of this mixture daily. The same mixture can also be used for enemas.

Of course, not everyone reacts in the same way and not every remedy produces the same results in every person, but in the case of a bad sciatica attack, it is well worth giving this simple remedy a try. According to the individual, one of three different therapies should produce results: formic acid treatment, adjustment by a chiropractor, or garlic milk.

Every part of the plant is highly poisonous. The whole plant, including the subsidiary tuber, which is developed from the root for the following year’s growth, is used to make a tincture for homoeopathic purposes. If this tincture was to be taken pure, it would result in certain death caused by cardiac paralysis and damage to the spinal cord. But diluted a thousand or one hundred thousand times, aconite becomes one of the best and most reliable homoeopathic medicines.
