Tip 56. Enhance health with colo
u
r.
The complete healing s
p
ectrum of natural light is
essential to
health. The
f
ull moon is
t
he
ancient symbol of completion. The
r
ays of light cast by the moon on the
e
arth contain
colour in the form of white light.
The white light of the moon origina
t
es in the s
u
n and contains seven different colours - violet,
indigo, blu
e
, green, yellow, orange and red. These are nat
u
ral colours which are highly beneficial to the maintenance of
health and
f
or healing diseases.
How can y
o
u tell if you
are receiving all the c
o
lours of the
h
ealing sun?
In 1932, Gerrard and Hessay, two Californian
psychologis
t
s, scie
n
tific
a
lly establis
h
ed that blue
light had a calming effect and r
e
d a stimulating power on human beings. A patient
is first
subj
e
c
ted to an examination
to ascertain which colo
u
r he lacks.
T
he deficie
n
cy is determined by observing the colour of the eyeballs,
n
ails, urine
a
nd excrem
e
nt. In cas
e
s
of the lack
o
f red, the eyes and nails will be
bluish, and
t
he urine and excrement
w
h
ite or bluish. If there is a deficiency of the blue colour,
the eyes and nails will
b
e reddish a
n
d urine and
excrement yellowish or
r
ed. This is a good d
a
y to consid
e
r whether y
o
u are receiving all the vi
t
al colours
of
health in your daily life.
Tip 57. Count calories to cure asthma.
Starve a fever, feed a c
o
ld, but do n
o
t overfeed an asthmatic.
Asthma, particularly when the attack
is severe, t
e
nds to dest
r
oy the appetite. In such
cases, do not force the patient to
e
at. He should be kept on fast until
th
e attack is
ov
er. He should, however, t
a
ke a cup of
warm water
every two hou
r
s. An enema taken at that time will be very beneficial.
Honey is considered hi
g
hly benefici
a
l in the trea
t
ment of asthma. It is said that if a j
u
g of honey
is held und
e
r the nose of
an asthma patient and
he inhales
t
he air that comes into contact with the honey, he starts bre
a
thing easier
and deeper. The effect lasts for ab
o
ut an hour
o
r so. This
is beca
u
se
honey contains a mixture of 'higher'
alcohols
an
d ethereal oils and the vapours
given off by
them are soothing and
b
eneficial
to
t
he asthma patient. Honey usually brings relief whether the air flowing
ov
er it is inhaled or whether it is eaten or taken ei
t
her in milk
o
r water. It thins out accumulated mucous and helps i
t
s elimination from the respiratory passages. It also tones up the
pulmonary
parenchyma
and thereby prevents the production
of mucous in future. Some auth
o
rities reco
m
mend one year old hon
e
y for respiratory disease.
