Гипертиреоз – Hypertheriosis

An older person, first of all, needs plenty of oxygen, in other words, plenty of exercise and deep-breathing in the open air. It would be beneficial to engage in some light sport; light gardening is another good form of exercise. Long walks through a forest or wood, or walking and climbing in the soothing tranquillity of hills and dales will also provide enough refreshing exercise for the body and the lungs.

Secondly, an older person should eat foods that have a high iron content, which assures the proper oxygenation of the blood and normalises the metabolic processes. This can be achieved by simply enhancing our meals with plenty of raw vegetables and salads every day. Of course, this is easier to do during spring, when many kinds of cresses and the tender leaves of spinach are available. Add these to your salads without fail. Also, do not forget the young shoots of stinging nettles which provide exceptional benefits. Indeed, there are many alternatives to ensure that we can meet our daily requirements of iron and other vital substances.

Take the appropriate medicinal herbs. But I must point out that pregnant women should not wait until shortly before childbirth to take the herbs. They should begin to take them months ahead of time in order to improve the condition of the blood and exert a positive influence on the entire vascular system. An excellent remedy is Hamamelis, an extract from witch hazel, a shrub known to the North American Indians as a ‘miracle plant’. As early as the Middle Ages women realised that embolism and thrombosis could be prevented by taking arnica, yarrow, St John’s wort and Pulsatilla. More than thirty years ago I began to use these herbs as a basis for a well-known fresh plant preparation, Hyperisan, that has since proved helpful to thousands of women in many countries around the globe. Many women have told me that serious complications at the time of delivery were prevented because they had been taking this herbal complex during their pregnancy. Much to their surprise, delivery was easy and without subsequent complications, which had not been the case for them before, when they had not been taking the preparation. A qualified midwife once wrote me an enthusiastic letter about a perfect delivery, which, according to her, could only be attributed to the fact that the mother had been taking the preparation. As a midwife of many years’ experience, her observation and assessment can hardly be questioned. In addition to Hyperisan, it is recommended to take Urticalcin, because biological calcium is good for the vascular system. Another good supportive remedy, called Aesculus hipp., a fresh plant extract from horse chestnuts, should not be overlooked

One does not have to be a fanatic in order to admit that modern, civilised man is living somewhat dangerously. Just think of all the conveniences we have gained from technology in our age of motor cars and mechanisation. They bring with them less activity outdoors and cause pollution of the air. Our indulgence in refined food products does not exactly contribute to good health either. The arteries degenerate as a result of the drawbacks of our lifestyle; symptoms of old age appear much too early, decreasing our efficiency and productivity and sometimes bringing an early end to our lives. The average increase of our life span, due to a reduction in infant mortality, does not change this picture either. It is not a question of reaching an advanced age by artificial means, by the use of drugs and special therapies, while our body is ailing and vegetating. Rather, it is much better to live to a ripe old age and still be in good health. Our life-style and what we eat should be governed by the laws of nature and not by the dictates of society, which have gone awry and, at best, contribute very little to our physical well-being.

The Dutch scientist Dr Hoorne once said that the body is made up of blood vessels. It was he who discovered a method of making the vessels visible by injecting them with a red dye. Tsar Peter the Great, who happened to be visiting Holland at that time, was so intrigued by the experiment that he arranged to take some of the dye home with him. Unfortunately, however, on his arrival in Russia he found that it was no longer useable. The sailors had consumed the alcohol in which it had been placed to preserve it!

Truly a wonder of creative design, every single one of the billions of cells in our body has access to the uninterrupted flow of the circulatory system. It takes the blood only about one second to move from the arterial capillaries to the venous capillaries. And it is during this second that the metabolic process takes place whereby oxygen is withdrawn from the blood and carbon dioxide from the tissue is permitted to enter. At the same time, the nutrients from the blood enter the tissue and the metabolic products from the tissue enter the bloodstream. Having fulfilled its task, the blood then flows back to the heart via the venous system.

The body as a whole, including the capillary system, can be adversely affected and harmed by an incorrect diet and life-style. Foods that produce too much uric acid, such as meat and eggs -instead of vegetables and fruit – cause a degeneration and dilation of the capillaries to a degree that capillary photography can detect it. When magnified, dilated capillaries have the appearance of small varicose veins. Excessive alcohol consumption has the same harmful effect. Chemicals absorbed from medicines and nicotine alter and damage the capillaries and impair their function of nourishing of the cells, thus disturbing the entire metabolic process. Of what good is our marvellously equipped body if we disregard its working order and eat the wrong food, as well as follow an unnatural way of life, with insufficient exercise and deep-breathing? ‘ Defects of the capillary system cause degeneration, slackening and aging of the muscle and nerve cells due largely to their not receiving sufficient nourishment in time. It is important to know about this when we are young, so that we can guard our health carefully. If we fail to realise it until we are old, it will be of little worth by then, and we will be like the person who wasted all his fortune in his youth. In his old age he lived in poverty while contemplating, with pain and nostalgic sorrow, the bygone luxury of his youth. We can compare youth to the seven fat years in Egypt referred to in the Bible. We should act wisely, just as Joseph did, storing up good health to be able to, figuratively speaking, live off the ‘savings’ during the ‘lean’ years of advanced age. By adopting a healthy, natural way of life, from our youth onwards, we also show the greatest care for our blood vessels.
