On the night of January 8, 1910, I had my last attack of asthma, and
have had none since. By that time my bowels were perfectly free, and
all traces of constipation gone. The night of the 9th I spent in
peaceful, dreamless sleep, my head perfectly clear of any cold or
catarrh, enabling me to breathe freely through my nose during sleep,
which had never been possible before this. Although the temperature
outside was a little above zero, and stood close around there during
the greater part of January and February where I was, two windows in
my room were wide open all of the time, and I slept between them; also
there was no stove or other heating appliances in the room to warm me
on retiring and arising.
I stuck rigidly to the fruit and nuts, living on them alone until
the weather began to grow warmer. I then grew so confident, that I
gradually lapsed into a general raw-food diet, and later on, to a
partly raw and partly cooked diet, but no meat at all, save at times,
when it was necessary in order to avoid unpleasant controversies and
explanations among people who knew nothing on the subject, and were
therefore sceptical, and often inclined to ridicule me.
With the return to cooked foods, came a return of constipation, and
with it, traces of the old cold or catarrh. This is one thing I noticed
in particular; that when my bowels were moving freely, then and only
then was I free of catarrh or cold. I am situated at present where I am
away from the influences of kind-and-well-meaning friends and members
of my own family, so am living on a raw-food diet entirely, doing heavy
gymnasium work every day, also quite a bit of study and other brain
work besides, which in all keeps me quite busy most of the day. I am
enjoying the best of health in every particular all the while.
