The child should be prepared well in advance so that he anticipates it in a positive way. The parents can take him to school beforehand, showing him around and perhaps meeting the teachers. He should be involved in purchasing any requirements for school, such as a schoolbag, books or clothes. Sometimes it is beneficial for him to meet other children of the same age, who are starting school at the same time.

Starting creche or kindergarten

Starting kindergarten or daycare is just as stressful as starting school, though the child is younger and it is often more difficult to prepare him for it. During the first couple of days, it may be helpful for a parent to stay a little while, rather than leave immediately. Each kindergarten will have its own way of handling a child’s stress, and the preschool teacher will be experienced in handling separation anxiety in young children. Parents need to make sure that their own feelings of anxiety are not transmitted to the child — this will only serve to make things worse.

Warts near the nailbed are prone to come back.

Plantar warts are often called papillomas and these are warts on the soles of the feet.

They are the same as warts elsewhere but because of the pressure of the foot against the ground or the shoe, the warty tissue is forced inwards and this presses on the sensitive nerve endings in the skin and causes pain.

These warts may be treated like those elsewhere but cutting them out or burning them with the electric diathermy may produce a tender scar.

The warts can be softened by using a local application and the base curetted away.

They do respond well to freezing with liquid nitrogen.

Plantar warts are usually multiple. Venereal warts or condyloma acuminata are the same as the others.

Their difference being that the warm moist conditions of the genital or anal areas produces a different type of wart.

When this arch is weak, the ball of the foot flattens when weight is put on it. Pressure of the heads of the metatarsals pushing into the pad on the ball of the foot causes a painful callus.

This is a mechanical problem and requires a mechanical solution. A pad of sponge rubber or plastic foam inside the shoe may cushion the effect as the foot presses down. A metatarsal bar on the sole of the shoe will give relief. This shifts the weight behind the metatarsal heads and eases the pressure.

A Plantar wart may be mistaken for a callus. They occur on the soles of the feet, are often called papillomas and are like warts elsewhere on the body being caused by a virus.

Because of pressure when walking and standing, the wart tends to grow inwards. It is painful because the warty tissue presses on the sensitive nerve endings in the skin.

In those cases where the urine shows no bacteria, the true cause of the symptoms lies in the urethra or at the base of the bladder where the ureters enter. This is called the trigone.

Often, the first attack of urinary infection may be that embarrassing condition known as “honeymoon cystitis”.

This is due to irritation and pressure on the urethra from regular and frequent intercourse in a woman unused to it.

Many a honeymoon has been spoilt for the bride and groom by such an experience, and many women have lost interest in sex because of the discomfort and embarrassment. A few doses of Citralka from the chemist will usually relieve the symptoms. Most doctors will prescribe antibiotics.

“I have never had a boss over me—I have never been envious of what others have—and I have periodically rejuvenated myself by marrying three times!”

Vibrant health, long life and sexual virility go hand in hand. All vital functions of the body should collaborate in perfect harmony, including the functions of the vital reproductive system. The health of the reproductive system is closely tied to the general state of health, which is, as we have already seen, dependent on vital nutrition.

In the last ten years many studies have been made which indicate that man’s sexuality is not an isolated phenomenon, but is an inseparable part of his total health entity. Doctors have found that man’s sexual capacity is directly related to his health and his mental and physical well-being. Furthermore, they have found that there is a direct relationship between man’s sexual health and the foods he cats. Recognizing that psychological causes are behind many cases of impotency and other sexual disturbances, the fact remains that nutrition is the most important single factor affecting one’s health, including the health of the reproductive system. Malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies may affect every aspect of man’s physical well-being. His sexual functions are no exception.

Just how does nutrition affect man’s sex life?

Man’s sexual life is directed by his glandular system, particularly by the so-called endocrine glands. The hormones produced by these glands, and by the ovaries and testes, hold the secret of your sexual power. Estrogen plays a vital part in the sexual life and reproductive functions of women; testosterone, the male sex hormone, plays an equally important part in man’s sexual life. These hormones and other secretions of the endocrine glands are your spark plugs, which provide sex stimulus and drive to your body as well as to your mind. The decreased function of the endocrine glands and diminished secretion of sex hormones will slow down all vital life processes and lead to premature aging. The healthy function of the endocrine glands is imperative not only for sexual virility and libido, but is also absolutely essential for your general health and for your feeling and looking younger far into advanced age. In other words, you are as old as your glands!

What can you do to keep your endocrine and sex glands in good working condition so that you will remain vital and virile as long as you live?

You can feed your glands! Your glands need certain nutrients in order to function properly. If the food you eat does not supply these essential nutrients, the normal function of the glands will be impaired, and hormone production diminished. Lost interest in sex and diminished or totally lost physical capacity for love will be the ultimate result.

Since the beginning of time man had certain remedies and foods for prolonging or increasing his sexual power. Every nation and every race had their favorites: honey, sesame seeds, oysters, nuts, eggs, etc. Modern medical science laughed at the notion that there is a relationship between food and man’s physical capacity for love. But in the last decade or two we have seen profound changes taking place in the attitudes of scientists toward sex. Doctors stopped laughing and began a serious inquiry into the mysteries of sex life. Now it is not only an old wives’ tale, but a well-established scientific fact that your libido and capacity for physical love are directly related to your nutrition.

It would take a book to relate to you all the exciting facts the scientists are coming up with with regard to the relationship between nutrition and sex. Much research is being done in Russia, France, and Germany in this field. There is also corroborative research being done in the United States. Here are a few revealing facts discovered by scientists.

Joseph Evers, M.D., is the founder of the only clinic in the world which specializes in the treatment of multiple sclerosis. He has treated well over 10,000 multiple sclerosis cases in his clinic and has achieved very dramatic results. Patients come from all over the world to Dr. Evers* clinic and in most cases they leave his clinic healed and restored to health. Naturally, advanced cases cannot be helped. If a major portion of the central nervous system is damaged and most of the vital organs affected, nothing can help the patient.

In his excellent books, The Changed Aspects of Diseases and Directions for Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis, Dr. Evers points out that multiple sclerosis is a metabolic disease caused by faulty nutrition. In the past, man has lived for thousands of years on pure unadulterated natural foods without poisons and toxic chemical substances. Today our foods, because of wrong agricultural methods, processing and chemical additives, contain over 2,000 substances to which man is not adapted and which his system is not able to handle. Dr. Evers specifically points out a replacement of wholesome sourdough whole-meal bread by devitilized white bread, and raw milk by pasteurized and homogenized milk, as some of the most serious assaults on man’s natural foods. Thus, denatured foods cause metabolic disorder and are responsible for the many degenerative metabolic diseases, such as obesity, arthritis, diabetes, and a host of other diseases, including multiple sclerosis.

Dr. Evers’ program

First, all manufactured, canned, processed, refined, frozen, and denatured foods are omitted. Anything made from white flour and white sugar is specifically prohibited, as such foods are lacking in the vital nutrients of vitamins and mineral salts. Coffee, tea, chocolate, salt, sugar, mustard, pepper, and vinegar are also prohibited.

Dr. Evers’ patients receive a diet of raw fruits, root vegetables, raw milk, raw eggs, raw rolled oats (freshly prepared and not steamed), honey and water. In addition, the patients receive sprouted seeds* and raw fermented foods, such as sauerkraut, fermented wheat and fermented dairy products. In less severe cases, and when the patients are well on their way to recovery (and also in the case of older patients), raw meat is added to their diet. Dr. Evers specifically uses raw ham and raw bacon. He permits an occasional glass of pure wine. As you can see, the emphasis is on raw foods.

Dr. Evers also treats with his diets other metabolic diseases, such as leukemia, rheumatoid arthritis, lymphogranulomatosis, and plasmocytoma. He has achieved especially good results in hundreds of cases of infantile muscular dystrophy.

The third major zone is also divided into two zones—the fifth and sixth minor zones. The fifth minor zone is called the Skeletal zone. Further iris research may eventually require many minor modifications to this schema.

When a condition of the skeletal system is presented the sign should never begin in the

iris-wreath. It may project well into the muscle zone, just as it may also extend into the sixth zone—the skin zone. It is, however, a sign which is always localised precisely in the middle of the ciliary zone. On the other hand, a heart sign, for example is always found conjoined to the iris-wreath, as also are the pancreas, kidney and adrenal signs. But the leg area never begins in the iris-wreath. These facts should be especially noted.

The junction of the fifth and sixth zones—bones/skin—refers to the whole of the mucous membranes. This large and important organ system is found for the most part within the skeletal system, as for example with the pleura in the thorax, and the peritoneum in the abdomen. Therefore the condition of this system is to be seen in the iris at the junction of the fifth and sixth minor zones. There are also special signs which appear in affections of the mucous membranes.

In the sixth minor zone, the degree of skin activity can be seen. All body openings also have their places in this zone.

However, I would like to draw attention to the position in this zone of a few particularly important organs. The liver is placed in the right iris between 37′ and 40′ at the outer margin of the iris. In the left iris the spleen occupies a corresponding position—from 20′-23′.

The thyroid gland may also be mentioned—at 14′-17′ in the right iris, and 43′-46′ in the left iris. The cerebellum is indicated when disturbed or diseased in the right iris at 54′-56′ and in the left iris at 4′-6′.

The lung areas extend from the blood zone to the skin zone and are shown in the right iris from 45′-50′ and in the left iris from 10′-15′.

An emetic is used to induce vomiting in certain cases of swallowed poison. Every medicine chest should contain an emetic, and syrup of ipecac is recommended. It’s convenient to have two small bottles, each containing a single dose of two to three teaspoonfuls for immediate use. Note, however, that vomiting should not be induced automatically in a case of poisoning. If the poison is an item not normally edible – such as petrol, turpentine, cleaning fluid – you should not make the child vomit because the poison may do more harm on the way back.

Nose drops, nasal aspirator, and decongestant

Along with aspirin and paracetamol, these items are useful in treating the symptoms of common colds. Ask your doctor to recommend types and uses.

Thermometer and lubricant

A multipurpose, stubby-bulb thermometer, which can be used rectally, is most practical. Any lubricating ointment will serve to grease a thermometer for rectal use, but a water-soluble gel is superior because it readily washes off in cold water.

Additions

The following are useful for treating minor accidents: antiseptic solution, antibiotic ointment, sterile gauze pads (50 x 50 and 76 x 76 mm), rolls of knitted bandage (50 mm and 76 mm wide), adhesive tape (6 mm wide), steristrips, and adhesive bandages of assorted sizes.
