3. Have breakfast at 9 a. m. and supper between 4 and 5 p. m.
4. Never work or eat when the hands and feet are cold.
5. Relax and breathe deeply with face down for 20 minutes, three times
per day before meals.
6. During damp or rainy weather rest more, eat more greens, citrus
fruits and fatty foods, and little or none of those foods which are
rich in protein, such as cheese, whites of eggs, lean meats, nuts,
beans, canned corn and milk foods, and select protein foods for the
noon meal in the form of green pea or lentil soup, with or without
tomatoes, or fat cold pork, fish or bacon in combination with apples,
mashed beets, carrots or yellow turnips with lemon, hard yolks of eggs
and fried bacon. Rice with tomato sauce and cold fat meat is also
good. Black stale bread is best.
7. For breakfast use fats in the form of mayonnaise dressing with raw
apples and tomatoes and plenty of onions, also fat meat if desired,
and corn meal mush with eggs and cranberry sauce and celery; or the
above mentioned green leaf vegetables. Celery roots, raw or cooked,
with lemon and toasted bread and butter or fried bacon is also
good. Use raw carrots, cranberries and beets with greens and French
dressing. Raw cabbage is also good.
8. For supper select your food according to your appetite. If you are
warm, active and energetic, take some raw fresh milk with zwieback
and tomato or cranberry juice, or suck the juice of one-half or
one-fourth of a lemon or grapefruit with it, white and yellow skin and
all, expectorate the residue. Bran tea, barley or oatmeal water with
one-fourth sterilized cream is good. If you are cold and chilly eat
a plate of warm soup made of tomatoes or plums, huckleberries, string
beans or asparagus (treated with lemon), or potato soup, or eat green
cooked leaf vegetables with lemon and fried bacon, toasted or puffed
wheat, and butter.
9. During the dry, frosty season, when the sun is bright during the
middle of the day, eat a moderate amount of those foods forbidden
under No. 6, combine them rightly, and take walks in the sunshine
after dinner.
10. Mornings and evenings eat about the same foods as suggested in the
foregoing.
11. Dress the body according to the changes of temperature.
12. Avoid over-heated rooms, and stay in bed until the sun rises, if
necessary.
13. Keep the bowels in good order by enemas.
14. Black malt coffee prepared with a few whole or crushed coffee
beans is of medicinal value if taken in small quantities after meals,
especially after the noon meal; it acts as a tonic to the liver. Raw
cranberries may be substituted if desired.
The above mentioned suggestions are for extreme cases of liver
degeneration. They also apply to many chronic, so-called incurable
diseases where the protein and starches of the diet should be limited
in quantity to the minimum, compatible with the requirements of the
individual.
