This Articles ather Rathiloganathan Selvraj EXPERIENCES WITH NATURAL FOOD

     My name is Rathiloganathan and I am 33. I am living in India, married and have two daughters of age 10 and 5. I was a non-vegetarian before and I also used to take lot of milk and milk products like milk, curd, butter, ghee, buttermilk, cheese etc. I was having wheezing problem, pain in the body, continuous sneezing in the morning,  sweating in the body etc. I use to give 3 glasses of milk everyday to my elder daughter when she was 5 years old  thinking that milk is very nutritious with calcium and protein. She used to suffer from cold and cough very often. I was under the impression that I was providing the most nutritious combination of food - egg and milk. Yet something was wrong with her immunity that she fell sick often. Visit to the physician became a regular affair, atleast once in a month. When my second daughter was born I consumed lots of egg in my diet thinking that it will help in lactation. I became so fat and I weighed 75 kgs (My height is only 150 cms) and it also resulted in lots of complications to the body. My husband suffered from migraine, kidney stone and rheumatism. My search of health books for the correct diet ended with the book IYARKAI UNAVE NOI THEERKUM MARUNTHU written by Shri. M.A.Appan  in Tamil. The topic of the book means that NATURAL FOOD IS THE MEDICINE FOR ALL DISEASES. Reading the book I was totally amazed to know that the author himself who was a leprosy patient in his younger days got rid of leprosy and is leading a healthy life. Though he tried all types of treatments, he did not get cured. On the advice of his brother Shri. Ramakrishnan he stopped all medicines and ate natural food only and got rid of leprosy. He is now living in kulasekarapattinam of Tamilnadu. He is 70 now and takes care of  3 acre land all by himself. Many persons had told their experiences regarding natural food  in that book. I was more and more amazed to read that many coma, epilepsy, asthma, cancer patients who were left hopeless by the allopathy doctors have got cured by natural food. So I stopped non-veg and reduced milk and milk products in my diet. Before that I used to buy 2 litres of milk every day for my family. Now at present I have completely stopped milk and milk products after 4 years. At the same time I started to include natural food (raw and uncooked food) in my diet. Gradually I got rid of all my diseases without any medicines. My daughters and my husband are also healthy now. My weight came to 51 Kgs without any exercise. I feel very active and enthusiastic now. It has brought positive changes in my character too. Now I am tolerant, smiling, cheerful and relaxed with  sound mind. I am a working mom. I am able to balance both home and office at ease. I don't get stressed up or get exhausted at the end of the day. I work on computers and still have healthy eyes/vision. I don't have eye irritation, watering of eyes etc even if I work for long hours (12 hrs) in the system. I wish the readers to follow this diet and be healthy.

BLOOD AND NATURAL FOOD

     Blood is alkaline. Raw food is also alkaline. Raw food maintains the alkaline nature of the blood easily. When food is cooked it becomes acidic. Cooked food taken turns the blood to acidic nature.  Hence the body fights to turn the blood into alkaline to maintain the health. When it fails to do so we become a prey to
diseases.

HOW TO FAST?

              Only water should be taken when thirsty.  Those who can't can take juices. After the sickness has reduced juicy fruits and fleshy fruits can be included little by little for a few days.  Then after recovery nuts can be included.  During fasting taking rest is a must.  If airy places are available rest can be taken there.  Energy losing activities such as watching TV, talking more, listening to music, walking long distances should be avoided.  The body should be helped to divert all its energy to cure the body.  Due to fasting the toxin level in the body gets reduced. Since the toxin level is reduced the diseases also gets reduced.

TO INCREASE DIGESTIVE POWER

             2 spoons of ginger juice daily will help those with weak digestion.  The white colour sediment which settles after the juice is taken should not be eaten. Juice taken should be kept for 15 minutes for the sediment to settle and then taken with a spoonful of honey.  Not advisable for ulcer patients.  They can chew cumin
instead.  Drink warm water made by boiling cumin and pepper in it.

CAN KIDNEY FAILURE PATIENTS DRINK WATER

       Kidney failure patients can drink water when they are thirsty provided they are on complete natural diet (mainly on juicy fruits).  If more juicy fruits are included in the diet the less thirsty he will be.  Acupressure can also be given to the kidney point in hands and legs. Salt and sugar should be avoided completely.

               Kidney stone patients should drink lots and lots of water to dissolve the stone formed.  They are formed because of the lack of body's capacity to absorb the calcium.  Hence they tend to crystallize in the form of stone.  This arises due to the non-functioning of thyroid gland and it can be cured easily by giving
acupressure on kidney and thyroid gland point. (More details in the book Health in your hands Vol I By Devendra Vora ). Following juice diet will give faster results. (Banana stem juice will be helpful).

HOW MUCH WATER TO DRINK?

               There is no minimum and maximum limitation for drinking water in natural food.  One can drink water whenever he feels thirsty.  The concept of drinking 3-5 litres of water daily to purify the body  applies only to those on cooked food.

HOW TO GAIN SELF CONTROL TO CHANGE TO NATURAL FOOD

                    (1) Follow Acupressure and giving pressure on the endocrine glands.
                    (2) Meditation.
                    (3) Reading more and more about natural food. (Daily atleast 2 pages)
                    (4) Having contact with people who take natural food.


PREPARING MENTALLY

One should prepare himself mentally before starting natural food.  This article would have given the reader a general idea of natural food and how it functions in the body.  Interested persons can go in for more reading through books and websites.  The more and more informed he will be able notice and understand
the changes in his body.  He won't get panicked at the elimination process. Persons who take natural food to recover from their illness should be prepared mentally well about the treatment he is to be given. His co-operations play a vital role for recovery.

He should keep his mind away from negative thoughts.  Fill it with positive thoughts like 'I am going to recover' 'I am going to be happy and cheerful'.  Keep away from people who laugh at naturopathy and changing diet.  Laugh a lot. People who laugh a lot rarely get diseases.

NATURAL FRIDGE

Fruits should be eaten when it is fresh itself to avoid loss of nutrition. It is not wise to refrigerate and eat.  Fruits can be kept fresh without keeping in fridge by a simple method.  Take a broad vessel ( size according to need ).  Fill it with sand.  Pour some water on it to wet the sand.  Spread a thin cotton cloth over it.  Keep the vegetables and fruits over this cloth.  This will help to a certain extent to keep them fresh.  Water should be sprinkled over the sand whenever necessary to keep it wet.  Greens can be kept with their stems  immersed in water for a day to keep them fresh.  The best way is to purchase whenever necessary and use as soon as possible.  They can also plant fruit trees grow greens, vegetables in their gardens instead of other decorative plants.

A/C BOON OR A CURSE

Air-conditioning is a curse.  It is not at all necessary.  It prevents the toxins coming out from our body in the form of sweat.  We take steam bath, banana leaf bath etc to bring out the toxins in our body where as A/C does just the opposite.  Hence it is wise to avoid A/C in our rooms.  Whatever is against nature is not necessary.  Moreover long time intake of natural food removes all the toxins from out body and hence sweating will reduce from our body and consequently there won't be any need for fan, A/C etc.  Whatever against nature is not necessary. The chemicals used in A/C and refrigerator affects the ozone layer which prevents us from the harmful UV radiations of the sun.

TO THE PARENTS AND TEACHERS

                              Habits once formed are very difficult to overcome. Some parents may argue that during young age let them eat whatever they want. After their middle age they can control their diet.  But they are making the grave mistake of making their children a slave for taste.  Don't over feed.  Over feeding decreases the brain power.  They are harming more than helping by over feeding their children.  Let what they eat be nutritious even if it is in small quantity. There is no need to show our affection through over feeding. If they refuse food let them fast.  There is no harm if a child misses a meal. He will automatically take food after he feels hungry. A lean playful child is healthier than a fat lazy child. Pregnant women and newly married couples can take lot of natural food in their diet and meditate to have both physically and mentally strong children. Parents and teachers play a vital role in spreading this message to the younger generations. Children spend more time with the teachers than with their parents. Hence they can tell their students about natural food and their benefits in their classes through books, stories, puppet shows, slides, games etc. A healthy disease less world will bloom in future.

MAN IS THE BEST CLOWN OF THE UNIVERSE

Man's basic NEEDS are food, clothing and shelter.

(1) Food - Fruits and nuts

(2) Clothing - 2 sets of dress enough for man. We can get that from the cotton plant and the hand made spinning wheel (used by Mahatma Gandhi). No need for textile industry and their dyes which pollute the rivers.

(3) Shelter - we  can get from the mud houses and huts. (earthquakes are caused by the big building and dams which we build.  It is not the earthquakes which kills, it is the buildings which get destroyed during
earthquakes which kills.

     For the above three we need not disturb the eco cycle.  The eco cycle will remain balanced. No need for Industries and factories which spit enormous chemicals into the environment. The other things which we do are for our GREED.  Our greed is killing us through weapons, famine, flood, tsunami, earthquakes, violent wind etc.
  
     Man is the most intelligent (He can create himself by cloning) and he is also the most  foolish (He can kill himself through weapons created by him) of all the creatures.  He is a 2-in-1. Hence we can crown ourselves with the title BEST CLOWN OF THE UNIVERSE.

    Will man realise before the last tree is cut down in the world he can't eat and breathe money?

ACUPRESSURE

     This is a method of applying pressure (not acupuncture and there is no necessity for needles.) to the hands and legs.  One important thing to remember here is Acupressure alone will not cure diseases. Naturopathy is the basic foundation to come out of the disease. Acupressure when done along with natural food gives faster relief from diseases.  It is based on the principle that nerve endings are present for all the organs of the body in our hands and legs.  If pressure is applied on the particular point on hands or legs for the affected organ a small electric impulse is sent to the corresponding organ and the affected organ begins to get cured. PRESS WHERE IT PAINS is the basic principle of acupressure. The nerve ending of the affected organ can be identified by the pain in the particular point.  This pain will be different from the pressure applied.  Pain indicates that there is some problem in that organ.

     The endocrine glands in our body Pituitary, Pineal, Adrenal, Pancreas, Solar plexus, thyroid and sexual glands determines a person’s character according to their functioning and non-functioning.  Proper functioning gives rise to positive characters like loving, cheerful, braveness, courage, determination, tolerance etc. Non- functioning results in characters like anger, adamancy, stealing tendency, cruelty, lust, fearfulness, suicidal tendency etc. Hence persons with psychological problems can be given treatment in endocrine glands in addition to naturopathy for astonishing results.  Even prisoners’ characters can be changed by giving treatment in these glands.

     Acupressure rollers can be purchased at shops for giving pressure to all points other than endocrine glands. They can be used to give pressure even when we watch TV or work on computers.  For Endocrine glands pressure has to be given by thumb in vertical position.

     For more details book HEALTH IN YOUR HANDS VOLI AND VOLII  Written by shri Devendra vora can be referred.  This book was recommended by India’s former Prime Minister Morarji Desai who lived more than 90 years.  This book is also available in languages like Tamil, Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, etc.     Points to be pressed for various diseases( including cancer, brain tumor, AIDS, sugar, blood pressure)is given at the back of the book. By referring to this list points to be pressed can be found at by the patient himself.  Points to be pressed to overcome bad habits like smoking, drinking, drugs is also given.

WHAT IS NATURAL FOOD?

    Natural food means food produced by mother nature.(Cooked by the heat of  the sun) . We have to eat it raw as given by nature without making any changes in the form of cooking, boiling, frying etc. When a food is kept on fire it loses all its nutrition it has. We eat only the dead food. That is why man suffers from so many diseases. No other living being in the world cook food and eat.

WHY MAN IS VEGETARIAN?

(1)    Man and herbivorous animals absorbs water whereas Carnivorous animals licks water for drinking.

(2)     Man and herbivorous animals have lengthy small intestine whereas Carnivorous animals have short small intestine.

(3)    Carnivorous animals have canine teeth for tearing flesh whereas our teeth is designed by nature to chew food.

(4)     Vegetarian people have long life span than the non-veg eating people.

WHY MAN IS FRUITARIAN?

The root eating animals  like pig, rat, rabbit have their mouth shape in such a way to pierce the earth.

The teeth of grazing animals are in such way to chew the grasses.

Birds have beaks to pick up the grains.

Monkeys and squirrels are in such a way that they can jump from one tree to another to eat fruits.

Man can stand erect and his hands are in such a way to pluck the fruits from the trees. His body is also capable of climbing up tall trees like coconut and palm.

Hence we can know that according to his physiology man is a fruitarian

Hence man should gradually change from

    Non-vegetarian->Lacto vegetarians->Vegetarian->Raweaters->fruit eaters(eating fruits and nuts alone)

MILK AND EGG - VEG OR NON VEG

MILK
    Mother’s milk is enough. After that milk digesting enzymes are not produces in the human body. It is not our food. It is produced by the cow for its calf. We are stealing its food for its selfishness. Atleast mothers should realize what a great sin it is. Moreover milk is said to have calcium and protein by the allopathy doctors. But cow obtains it from eating raw grass and vegetables. We can also eat in the same manner to obtain the said nutrition. Cold, cough ,easnophilia , Wheezing and asthma gets reduced by stopping milk and milk products.

EGG

    The same explanation stands for egg also. Egg is produced by the hen for its reproduction and not for us. Eating egg is aborting life in its foetus stage itself. It is equivalent to abortion.

    I leave it to the readers to decide whether milk and egg are veg or non-veg.




FACTS ABOUT ANIMAL PROTEIN

    There are lot of differences between plant and animal protein. Animal protein spoils a man. Any animal protein be it - egg or flesh or bones or milk or milk products is not suitable for man. Man’s digestive system and its secretions is not formed suitably to digest these animal proteins.  They entirely vary from carnivorous and omnivorous.  Man is frugivorous. ie fruits and nuts is the diet of the man.  Animal protein not only create disease by easy fermentation in the alimentary system but also affects the mind very much.  This is the reason why the flesh eating people are quick to anger.  This tendency destructs the super powers of the brain and reduce its alertness. If a man avoid all flesh and dairy products he will be relieved from 50% of his diseases. Even carnivorous animals eat raw flesh only.  Man is the only one who eats roasted DEAD BODIES.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN NATURAL FOOD IS TAKEN

When we take natural food or come into contact with natural forces like rain, sun, pure water etc. elimination of toxins which is accumulated in our body due to taking cooked food, bad habits etc begins to take place.  That is why we have cold and cough while taking fruits headache while going in the sun fever while going in the rain etc.





VARIOUS FORMS OF ELIMINATION

        Elimination takes place through various forms while initiating natural food for which we should not panic. They are

        (1) Head ache            (2) Body pain
        (3) Tiredness            (4) Sleepy
        (5) Fever                (6) Skin eruptions/acne
        (7) Diarrhoea            (8) Cold and cough
        (9) Through nails            (10) Body odour
        (11) Mouth odour            (12) Vomiting

        We should only be happy at these signs of elimination and not get panicked.  The patients’ will power, courage and cooperation plays a vital role here.  The more one understands about the treatment and what is happening in his body the sooner he will get cured.



WHAT TO DO WHEN ELIMINATION TAKES PLACE

    The person should take as much rest as possible according to his health position.


HEAD ACHE:

    Take enema. Put wet cloth pack or wet mud pack on the head till pain subsides. Banana leaf bath, sun bath is also advised.  Steam bath can be taken during rainy season and in cold countries.


BODY PAIN, TIREDNESS, SLEEPY, COLD AND COUGH:

    Take lots of fruit juices (juicy fruits like pomegranate, orange, grapes, gooseberry, sweet lemon etc) till the uneasiness subsides.  While taking lemon juice only 5 drops /for 200ml of water should be added. Dried gooseberries soaked in honey helps to overcome anemia. Honey mixed with water will also help. Dates can be eaten.


FEVER:

        Enema, wet cloth pack, wet mud pack at head and stomach will help. Juicy fruits diet advised. In cases of high fever hip bath will help.


BODY ODOUR AND MOUTH ODOUR:

        Continue natural food and take sand bath, banana leaf bath.

VOMITING:

        Vomit occurs because of the heat in the liver.  Juices of citric fruits like orange juice, lemon, sweet lemon and tender coconut can be given to reduce the heat.  He can fast too if he is at complete rest just by taking water.

SKIN BOILS:

        Fruit and vegetable juices and pure mud can be applied to the skin.

LOOSE MOTION:

        Take lots of tender coconut and pomegranate juice.

        (Those could not afford to buy lots of fruits can go in for green leaves juices (Mint, coriander, curry leaf, palak etc,) and vegetable juices. In that case goose berries and a small piece
of ginger can be added too.
