A WONDERFUL MORNING DRINK

There is nothing like a wonderful morning drink to start off one's day and its health promoting qualities were recommended years ago by 'a seventh son of a seventh son of a seventh son,etc.,etc.) that lived in a town not from from me when I was taken to him as a child for a 'cure' which I will discuss either here at some time or under blogs. Simple ingredients make up the best 'elixirs' and 'tonics' and 'medicines' and 'morning drinks'. This one is easy to prepare and here it is: each morning dissolve a teaspoon of CREAM OF TARTAR in a cup of hot water and stir and then drink. This marvelous morning ritual is said to purify but not necessarliy purge your stomach and bowels,etc. as well as doing other intangible 'miracles'. DO IT EVERY DAY.

A 'GOOD' DIET

Here are some 'combos' that fastidious dieters and health enthusiasts might enjoy for their daily repasts: ORANGES & SPINACH;MILK & HONEY; PEPPERS & GARLIC; TOMATOES & BROCCOLI; GREEN TEA & LEMON; APPLES & BLUEBERRIES; and plaling AVOCADO in salads of all types,at least those somewhat compatible with this fruit. FINALLY, take this good advice that was given to me; always put a little lemon in your coffee!

SU;N CURES FOR SORE THROAT AND OTHER MALADIES

I have had some minor successes in curing my sore throat conditions, though not all, by focusing my open mouth as widely as possible and allowing the sun's rays to 'warm its sore membranes and the area of long-removed tonsils(done twice in childhood). When nose-dripping colds and watery-eyes attest to a severe 'head' cold, the sun's warm rays can,with your eyes closed, make some alleviation in things if done according to the need for such,which is determined by your personal understanding of what you need to do along these lines. Aches and pains that often accompany such, can be alleviated by the warmth of the sun on your back,whether clothed or bare by standing at a window that allows the sun's rays to go through it(clear panes of glass,for example) and when, of course, the sun is shining. Not only will the vitamin D so much needed form in you but will help in other ways. Of course, you must not expose your body to the sun to the extent that you might well develop skin cancer. I mention this because I suffer from the fact that as a child, I was always told 'go out and get some sun' and forces at times to be in the sun, and being light-complected and sort of blue/green/etc. eyes and once having carrot- red hair(especially at birth) I developed in later years the much dreaded 'PRE-CANCEROUS' skin conditions on my forehead. At any rate, perhaps those of you who are always advised to 'get a tan' will be forewarned not to do so. I do know that people in tropical countries are not like the usual 'mad dogs and Englishmen' who reputedly run around in 'the noonday sun' etc. To them, trying to 'darken' the skin by such pernicious practices as exposing 'marvelous WHITE skin' to the sun is not only ludicrous but stupid and insane,but such a cultural vice as these 'tropicals' exhibit has yet to be found among the Caucasian-occasions of 'sunbathers and 'tanners',who prefer leathery skins to soft smooth flesh-like ivory.

THE CURATIVE POWER OF THE SUN

The ancient knew that THE POWER OF THE SUN could either cure or kill one,depending on certain circumstances. Among the so-called 'worshippers' of the SUN were the Aztecs, Toltecs, Mayas,Incas, and various other 'OLD WORLD' RELIGIONS. The various rituals and rites,including some human sacrifices, need not concern us here or deter us from knowing that the Sun is significant in many ways and does influence human behavior, although differently than the influences of the Moon or the Stars,etc. Impressions and Influences are topics for other discussions in other blogs, so I will not dwell on such. As a 'light-sensitive being' my awarenss of the Sun began as young child when I was forced to pose for pictures taken with the box cameras of the day and face the sun to get enough natural light for the photo to come out when developed in dark rooms. My eyes, dripping with a strong flow of tears, seldom could focus and so my face would appear all screwed up in rather unflattering photos of constant squinting. The few photos of me that exist will attest to this 'phenomenon'. However, based on my "ROSICRUCIAN' studies and related readings,etc. I came to realize that certain alignments with the forces of nature in relation to the sun and the poles of the earth had some bearing on one's physical well-being. Since I am supposedly 'under oath' not to reveal these age-old secrets handed down by adepts' I shall not do so except to suggest some things that will be of practical use in health promoting ways,that can be found sometimes in various periodicals on the stands of bookstores that often deal in so-called 'new age' procedures and systems. Since I am most fortunate that in my present house the necessary alignments,some according to the Chinese methods of Feng sui,shui, are in evidence, I will share this in of with readers of my blogs,who can test them at their leisure. This is in regard to m;y upstairs bedroom and its windows which face EAST with the head of my bed aligned to the NORTH and the foot of my bed aligned to the SOUTH. Additionally, my front door is places properly and I do have a 'magic mirror' of sorts, the PAKUA/BAGUA one hanging from it,etc. I also keep the toilet seats down as much as possible to keep 'good luck' and 'fortune' from going down the drains, all of which to ordinary minds as 'rank superstition'no doubt. Although the cardinal direction of North is mentioned, a better orientation is along the MAGNETIC NORTH which can be determined by a compass, of course. Since the Sun rises in theEast and proceeds to 'journey' West, placements of one's personal shrine, temple, closet, and so forth as may be set up according to certain 'esoteric specifications' and one's own personal taste, so that your thoughts, emotions, prayers, bequests to higher powers, and other things of a similar nature may be acknowledged by them, it is important that they be also 'rising from the East' as you face such and recite your 'obligations' to the higher powers that you care to designate as of 'significance' to you and,keeping such as private and isolated as possible, be known only to yourself as TIME goes by and devours everything. So far none of this blog has dealt with any specific 'solar' cures' or 'practices, per se. So I shall givbe this info in a new topic when I have time not to ramble on as I have thus far done in the hopes that some of it might just well appear comprehensive enough to understand without leading anyone astray from their basic aims in life.
