_On rising._--A raw ripe apple, finely grated, or simply scraped out
with a silver spoon.
_Breakfast at 8._--A scrambled egg on a Granose biscuit with a little
finely chopped salad or finely grated; raw roots appetisingly served
with a dressing of oil, lemon juice and a little honey. This to be
followed by an "Ixion" or "P.R." biscuit, with fresh butter.
_Dinner at 2._--Home-made cottage cheese, or cream cheese, or a nut
meat (served cold out of the tin, or, better still, home-made). Two
casserole-cooked vegetables, done with a little fruit juice and lemon
to retain colour. This to be followed by a baked apple with cream and
a little home-made, unfired pudding made of dried fruits.
_Supper at 5._--A slice of "Maltweat" bread, and butter, and a cupful
of clear vegetable soup, or some hot water with some lemon juice
added, and slightly sweetened with a little honey.
GIDDINESS AND HEAD TROUBLE.
Mrs L.B.F. also writes:--I sometimes think I must make dietetic
mistakes. My husband thinks I am perfectly healthy, so I do not
say anything of the giddiness in the morning and after eating, a
drowsiness and slight pain at the back of the head and underneath
one of my ears. Also under my eyes is on some mornings quite
swollen and puffed up. It is not so marked, but I am quite
conscious of it. Our diet consists mostly of a salad, with bread
or baked potato and cheese or ground nuts or cooked brussels
sprouts and a nut meat pie, apple pie and cream, with brown bread
and butter, or a raw fruit meal, nuts, apples, grapes, figs,
dates and no bread.
Two meals a day, first in the morning at eight o'clock, second at
two or three in the afternoon. A glass of hot water with lemon at
nine P.M., and the same in the morning. I do some exercises night
and morning and am out in the fresh air often through the day. We
live in the country and I have every chance of keeping myself
healthy. Perhaps I should say I do not eat many nuts, finding
them rather difficult to digest. Should I use an enema when I
feel like this, or wait for natural results?
The symptoms of which L.B.F. complains are in all probability due to
flatulence and to general disturbances of the digestive process.
Perhaps it would be a good plan to make the diet lighter. The nuts
could be omitted and cheese or eggs substituted. An evening meal would
be helpful.
As to the bowels, some senna and camomile tea at bedtime would help to
clear them. Unless there is distinct evidence of faecal retention in
the colon it is better not to use the enema as a regular thing.
_On rising._--A tumblerful of Sanum Tonic Tea made with hot,
preferably distilled, water.
_Breakfast._--An all-fruit meal consisting of nothing but apples,
bananas, grapes, or orange, or any fresh ripe fruit that is in season.
