Natural Medicine

Introduction by Guillermo Mesones

I was taught for a period of 5 years (in the town of Lurín, 30 km south of Lima- Perú) the principles
of natural healing and nutrition, as well as the therapies to follow and how to maintain yourself
healthy.

You should understand that this is a lifestyle. We must analyze - if we are in a period of health
crisis- that we are doing something wrong, so it must be corrected.

We must be healthy when we reach an old age, with all our organs and faculties working properly,
and die in peace.

The usage of these therapies and proper foods aren´t expensive, as we use water, earth, some
herbs, cotton cloth, a piece of blanket, a piece of plastic, fruits, vegetables, cereals, starchy
vegetables (potatoes, cassava, sweet potatoes). Some oily fish, too.

It should be clear also, that there is a direct relationship between what we eat and our health. It´s
relationship is real with effects in our body and mind.

I´m aware that this has been taught to me in relation to material aspects. I must say that there are
higher techniques, not materialistic that are better.

There is a lot to study and improve. I am not an example, I am simply trying to do my past
following this path, we must be strong.

To heal myself I use the concepts that were taught to me 10 years ago. I help people to heal by
themselves, there isn´t dependency at all.

Sharing this, I pretend to receive more information from experienced people and testimonials of
good people, to compare and validate different concepts and therapies of Natural Medicine. Also
I would like that we realize that this isn´t a kind of alternative Medicine.

My intention is to help people with different sicknesses in order to gain recognition as a truthful
virtual space.

What´s the wrong called "disease"

It´s a body cleansing period. Our body has been made to clean itself, but we must know how to
manage this process. "Illnesses" doesn´t exist as such, it´s a cleaning process. We must let our
body expel all the toxic substances formed during years of eating inappropriate foods and
combinations.
The symptoms are diverse, fever, pain, tumors, cough, phlegm and a long etc. The names of the
illnesses varies too, tuberculosis, measles, asthma, stomatitis, mumps, rubella, AIDS, cancer, etc.
The location of the problem also varies.

The main idea is that illnesses have different names and locations, symptoms; but the origin of all
is only one an inadequate diet.

All these symptoms are due to a single origin, inadequate substances entering our body. From the
food, air, water, as well as incompatibilities between foods. Obviously, living in a place surrounded
by radiation, smoke, ill minded people, discarding the values; contributes a lot to lose our healthy
state.

We must consider that we breathe 24 hrs a day, we are 75% or more of water, 25% of other
substances. Here we see that our main food is air, then comes water, third our food.

It must be kept clear that the best of the best are organic vegetables and fruits.

Our body will keep what's necessary. Toxic waste material is going to be expelled, this excretion is
what we know as the symptoms of a disease.

Look at all the manufactured food products that we eat, with various additives and flavours,
consider the air and water that we drink.

Our body struggles to expel any "strange" substance, but the usage of medicines, our life in a city
(densely populated) and ignorance of natural laws that governs us, don´t permit our body
defenses react, so these toxic substances remain and form the so called "disease".

It must be clear that the lack of exercise, nil consumption of raw food, excess ingesta of industrial
products, and unwillingness to be healthy, are ideas that we must remember.

How toxic substances are formed?

Normally digestion produces waste products that must be expelled. This is done by our secretory
system, by means of urine, feces, respiration, sweating. But when we eat in excess or
inappropriate foods continuously and the quality of our water and air, aren´t ok, the amount of
toxic substances augments. We find that their removal is very difficult.

We find that different reactions occur, being the cause of different health problems within our
body.

Therefore it's primordial to go to the bathroom everytime you need to, it's no good to wait.
Because if you don't go promptly, some of the toxic wastes are going to be reabsorbed.

It's important too, to be in contact with Nature, in orther to breathe clean air and water.
Our body chooses the way to expel the waste products. The problems worsens when we have a
sedentary life and nurture evil feelings.
Also when we play Nature's role, by means of Genetical Manipulated Organisms and the resulting
product we don't know if it's harmful.

The same idea applies to cooking processes, microwave oven, high pressure, frying, aren't good at
all. Because the food is transformed in it's molecular form to something that our digestive system
doesn't know how to decode it correctly and absorb the nutrients. So it's going to be encoded as a
toxic substance, ready to be expelled. This dramatically the case of microwave ovens.

It must be clear that if air and water solely, leave toxic wastes, what can I say about processed
industrialized foods???

Healing and maintenace of a healthy condition

It's important to pay attention to our food, because the relationship between food and health is
direct.

How to combine food

Fruits go well with with cereals, carbohydrates.

Vegetables go well with with cereals, carbohydrates.
Other combinations aren't ok, examples:

- To mix many fruits.

- To combine cereals with carbohydrates.
- To combine fruits with vegetables.
- To combine different cereals, prefer one kind at a time.
- To combine different kinds of carbohydrates, also only one kind.

Other concepts

- All vegetables combine well.

- Prefer raw to processed food.
- Prefer your local food products.

About foods

Choose: sweet juicy fruits (proper of the season), extra virgin oils, nuts, flaxseed, sesame, algaes,
fatty fish (sardine, tuna, bonito). All this fresh, not processed, not canned, without additives.

For example, raw rice is better than the white one, the same concept for the rest of foods.
It`s good to eat raw seeds.
When the food is fresh it keeps all its nutrients, highly digestive sugars, vivid water, minerals and
vitamins, as well as other non specific nutritious components.

When you use heat to to cook or process foods, many of its vitamins are destroyed.
Also you must be very careful with the different food additives.
How can you eat something that you don`t know? Many of these additives aren`t grass, they are
toxic.

Raw vs. processed food

Processed or refined foods have lost many of their nutritious components. In the case of white
wheat flour, the husk and the germ have been removed. The reason is that they are sold
separatedly, also, the germ contains oil, so white flour can last more time. Even more, insecticides,
antimycotics, (anti us too), azodicarbonamide, calcium carbonate, are added to it.
In the germ and husk we can find proteins, oils, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. In this processed
form, white flour is incomplete and after its digestion it leaves an acidic residuum in our body, and
this is not healthy at all. Normally we must live in an alkaline state.

Oils

The only ones to be used are the extra virgin ones. This are made by a cold pressing procedure,
without heat or addition of strange chemical substances.. In this form most of their nutritious
components are present.These healthy oils are in a liquid state.

You've got to know that there are two essential fatty substances: linolenic acid (omega 3) and
linoleic acid (omega 6).. These areessential, because we have to obtain them externally, they're
not synthesized within our body.

Extra virgin olive oil has omega 9, it's not essential, alsi it's rich in vitamin E.
The mixture of 3 tablespoons of raw flax seeds and 1 tbsp of raw sesame seeds, soched the
previous night and blended until it goes white similar to milk, gives us half the dose of the
essential doses of omega 3 and 6. For a complete dose, you've got to repeat the latter. You've got
to drink instantly, because if you wait four or more hours it is going to turn out toxic. After
blending this seeds it's prferable to percolate. And drink the milky liquid.

Deficiency of omega 6

Retarded growth, hair loss, skin rashes, degenerated liver and kidneys, altered behavior, excesive
sweating, thirst, dryness of the glands, susceptibilty to infections, no healing wounds, male
infertility, abortions, circulatory problems
and vaginal dryness.

Deficiency of omega 3

Retarded growth and learning abilities, poor muscle coordination, weakness, , weakened vision,
altered behavior, low inmunity capacity, hypertension, edema, numbness in arms and legs, dry
skin, low metabolic rate, high triglyceride level.

Liquid fatty compounds are, indeed, affected by light and heat, so a good oil must be in dark
colored bottles, and never used for fryed foods.
The other "normal" oils have been processed under a lot of intermediate processes. Though,
converted into a toxic product. Additional to this, additives are added, and they're not good, too.
The only healthy oil to use is the one obtained from pressing the olives or seeds at normal
temperature, and kept in dark bottles. Obtained from normal vegetals not from genetically
manipulated ones.

Examples of some manipulated seeds: wheat, soybean, corn and canola.

It's not good to eat these "foods" because, they're harmful to us.
Our digestive system doesn't decode it normally, so toxic substances are formed. For example a
tomato with a fish gene, how it's going to be identified and decoded, it's a very weird substance,
so we generate a big problem that can cause cancer or other health problems.

A pure natural oil is full of life, with vitamin E (anti aging), also no antioxidants are needed, such
as BHA or BHQ.

Look at the people around you, is there anyone really healthy? Is there anyone really fair, good,
spiritually centered?

To make it clear, we only need omega 3 and 6, that's it.

Benefits of the flaxseed

Flaxseed is gaining popularity as one of the richest source of essential fatty acids (AGE). Flaxseed
must be consumed before 3-4 hours, that it has been pulverized.
The flaxseed flour, sold in some stores, isn't recommended because it's oxidized, this is harmful to
our arterial system.
Flaxseed has omega 3 and 6, and other substances, with a good mineral content.
It's fiber and mucilage are the best natural brushes to clean the digestive tract. It's laxative, lowers
cholesterol, and fighsts against stomachal acidity.
Sacha Barrio, recommends to triturate flaxseed with a coffe mill. 6 tablespoons daily is enough for
an adult. 3 tbsp are equivalent to 1 tbsp of liquid flaxseed oil. You can blend it with any fruit, until
it forms a milky substance.

Capsules of omega 3 are not effective, because they have fish oil and generates a fishy reflux, and
there is a high concentration of oil, it is easily oxidized.

Lignane present is: antibacterial, antimycotic, against cold, rich in phytotesrogens, a powerful
anticancer. When making an extraction of the flaxseed oil, only 2% of the lignane is present in the
oil. The remaining 98% is in the husk. This is why we've got to eat the whole seed (grinded) and
not only its oil.
The most promising use of lignane is in cancer prevention.

Benefits of sesame seeds

It has 1 500 mg of calcium in 100 grs. Milk has 106 mg in 100 grs.
Also these seeds provides a good amount of AGE, vit. E, B3, iron, fluoride, magnesium, potassium,
iodine, cobalt, zinc.
As a good protein source it contains methionine, which isn't normally found in vegetals.
Methionine helps us to expel heavy toxic metals.
Regular consumption of sesame helps us to have a good amount of zinc. Which helps us with our
spermatogenesis, defending them against free radicals, protecting their genetic material.

Sesame is our ally in fertility, in the Middle East is called the seed of inmortality.
As a calcium source it's enough 1 tbsp (in its raw state). Also it's a rich source of omega 6.

Benefits of the AGE

Dr. Budwig, a german scientist, with 11 nominations for the Nobel prize (she declares that they
denied her the prize because she confronted the food industry), she could be considered N°1 in
oils topics. She affirms something surprising and bold. When we consume flaxseed, there's a
greater amount of omega 3 in the skin, it's not only helps to keep a healthy skin, but acts as a
cosmic antenna.

Skin absorbs solar radiation, photons to give us energy. These photons are transferred for future
biochemical reactions. According to Dr. Budwig, photosynthesis is a process that's not confined to
the plant kingdom.
The AGE improve your IQ. They are necessary to form the Central Nervous and immune systems,
during pregnancy until the first 2 years of life.
AGE helps us to form healthy and strong lungs, too. We change from whooping and wheezing
coughs to a kind of gentle and calmed breathing.

Saturated fats contains large amounts of hydrogen in its molecules, from animals, meat, cheese,
eggs, butter, palm and coconut oils. The latter is not essential for us, instead, they are harmful.
They leave us with a great cardiovascular problem.
Unsaturated fats have double bonds between carbon atoms, which don't allow them to become
saturated with hydrogen atoms, and are liquid at room temperature.
Despite all the virtues of the AGE, mass media and the food industries are giving us light and low
fat products where natural healthy oils are absent. Being substituted by margarine or refined
unhealthy oils. These products are TOXIC.
