GUARDING AGAINST THE CONSEQUENCES OF INFECTIOUS – IMPORTANT EFFORTS
It is therefore most important that every effort be made to ensure the complete excretion of toxins in all cases of infectious disease. The following three main points must be observed:
Elimination through the skin. The patient should be encouraged to perspire by applying hot packs, taking hot showers etc. The Kneipp treatment might also be used.
Elimination through the kidneys. This can be encouraged by means of a simple kidney remedy, such as tea made from goldenrod or parsley, or any other natural remedy which acts to stimulate the kidneys. Onion poultices are also effective for this.
Elimination through the bowels. Fever usually tends to dry up the bowels. To stimulate movement, use simple natural remedies, for example linseed tea, psyllium seed, manna stick tea (Cassia fistula), soaked figs or prunes. A diet consisting solely of fruit juice is also excellent. While the infectious disease lasts, it is advisable to refrain from eating protein; nothing but fruit juices and vegetable juices is indicated.
If you pay close attention to these three points, you can avoid the complications often experienced as a result of ineptly treated infectious disease.
