WHEN
EMBARKING UPON A HEALTH REGIME…...
by
KK Fowlkes
When
embarking upon a health regime, it is good to know the
experiences of those who went before.
Ann Wigmore has had many experiences and many letters
of appreciation from people who attended her institute.
Does it make any difference if the experience happened
many years ago? No.
Truth is always truth.
For this reason the experience is still valid.
Living food is always living food.
Wheatgrass is always wheatgrass.
The results should be approximately the same.
Why not exactly the same?
Everyone’s body is different.
Below
you should find a letter from a Dr. Taylor to Ann Wigmore.
We would differ on one item since more is known about
the different grasses now.
We would use barley grass for arthritis because it is
high in organic sodium. People
who are arthritic, are very low in organic sodium both in the
lining of their stomachs and in their joints.
A
lifetime of eating high protein meats or dairy products robs
the body of organic sodium because sodium is used to help
buffer the acidic residue from these foods.
Once the sodium is used up, the body then begins to use
calcium and then magnesium to buffer with.
This is one reason that many arthritic people also have
osteoporosis.
(This
experience was taken from Ann Wigmore’s Newsletter Volume 1,
Number 4, November 15, 1982)
Transcripts
of a Cassette Recording of Dr. Ann and Dr. Keith B. Taylor
Dr.
Taylor: I am Dr.
Keith Bennett Taylor. I am an optometrist from Illinois. I do
a lot of visual therapy for slow learning children. Now we
have found in the last five or six years that it is very wise
to implement a program of live food at home for these
children. They are hurting themselves by eating too much sugar
-- too many candy bars and pop, which is poison to the system.
About 5 years ago I heard of the Hippocrates program through
somebody from Toronto, Canada. He said that the Hippocrates
program was helping folks with health problems. At that time,
I had very severe arthritis in my shoulders, knees, and
fingers. It got so bad I couldn't sit on the toilet or get off
it without help, and I had to stay up in the middle of the
night from the pain. So I went to my local physician, whom I
highly regard, and I got some medicine. This killed the pain
but it didn't do the arthritis any good, so I went to the
arthritis sanatorium and I got two more pills, and five or six
of their hot, wet heat pack treatments, and that didn't
do any good. Then I went to the chiropractor and had some
chiropractic treatments which were very relaxing, and some
acupuncture, and that didn't do any good. Since I had
physiological chemistry in medical school, I knew something
about the chemistry of the human organism, so I talked to some
people at Hayman about this Hippocrates Health Institute in
Boston. My wife and I called and I said I have severe
arthritis. Could I get help? And they said we don't care what
you have, it all comes from the same thing -- deficiencies and
waste accumulations. I made reservations, my wife and I came
out here, and spent the most productive two weeks I've ever
spent in my life. I had to come up in a wheel chair, I had to
be practically carried up the steps when we came in here, I
could hardly get up to the room, and when I left i had no
arthritis, it was gone. And it's been gone ever since, after 3
years, because we are very careful to see that we stay on the
fresh live foods program. The new life style is wonderful.
Dr.
Ann: How is your
energy now?
Dr.
Taylor: Oh, very
good. My energy is fine, it's beautiful -- I work in the
office all day long. I'm never going to retire, I'm just going
to keep working. I feel like a young person.
Dr.
Ann: Yes, it is
wonderful indeed, and that you so much for sharing your story.
