Hatred, jealousy, suspicion, envy.
When choice of remedy suitable in the case of an active person is difficult, it is advisable to start the treatment with “Holly Remedy”.
‘HOLLY REMEDY embodies the principle of Love—the Divine Love, the universal love which encompasses everybody in its fold, giving a feeling of universal human brotherhood, a sense of one-ness with everybody else. Love is the greatest enobling quality of the Soul. Love is GOD. It is the biggest unifying force in man’s society. With love, the family remains united, the business firms and the partnerships continue to work unhindered, and they progress.
With Love as the dominant force in the world it would be “Ram Raj”, a Utopian world with peace and prosperity for one and all.
But, alas, it is not so. What we witness in this world today is the very anti-thesis of Love.
Bereft of love, there is hatred, jealousy, suspicion, fear and envy all around. The family, the society, the countries and the whole human race is disintegrating in the absence of love. “Survival for the fittest” is the order of the day.
“Everything is fair in Love & War” is another slogan coined by unscrupulous persons and used often to justify an unbecoming act. What a shame that love and war should be equated in one sentence.
Love is the positive side of HOLLY. According to Dr. Bach “HOLLY protects us from everything that is not Universal Love. It opens our heart to unite with Divine Love” It invokes in us a feeling of oneness with the other person -a feeling which raises us to a pedestal where petty ideas of jealousy, hatred, fear, envy etc do not touch us, and we consider other person as a brother having equal rights to enjoy the gifts of father GOD, in his own way. In the negative HOLLY state, man becomes the selfish creature with very strong feelings of jealousy, hatred, revenge, malice and envy.
Not that these feelings of jealousy are limited to human mind only. A pet dog of a childless couple did not take it easy when the couple were blessed with a child and started loving the child. The dog bit the child—reason jealousy. It was only after giving the dog HOLLY Remedy that he could shed-off his jealousy towards the child.

As we all know, prescription drugs can be expensive and often have a number of side effects, some immediate, some that show up much later. In recent years, the interest in alternative treatments for ailments has grown into a multi-billion-dollar business as people look for answers that are less expensive, less intrusive and more consumer friendly. As reports of toxic side effects of some drugs and distrust in medicine in general proliferate the media, people have turned to herbs as both a cheaper and natural alternative. But there’s actually little known about herbal remedies. What is their risk for causing cancer, birth defects, fertility problems, or other long-term health problems? Also, because the manufacturing of herbal remedies is not monitored and regulated as carefully as drugs, you may or may not get the potency that’s listed on the label. With herbal remedies, the environment is definitely one of Buyer Beware! Perhaps a more appropriate warning is Consumer, Be Aware!
But what’s wrong with leaning on them to help you make it through the day if you’re feeling low on energy or a little stressed, anxious, or depressed? Maybe nothing. Maybe something. Two popular “treatments” people are opting for these days are St. John’s wort and kava, both supposed “remedies” for depression. While anecdotal stories of mood-altering herbs like St. John’s wort and kava look promising, little empirical evidence supports their effectiveness in battling minor depression. Here’s the bottom line on the two most popular mood-altering herbs.

St. John’s ort
St. John’s wort didn’t become popular until the mid-1990s, when it catapulted from an obscure folk treatment for wounds and “melancholy” to a trendy street-legal antidepressant. The bottom line?
-    Although St. John’s won appears to help about half of those with mild to moderate depression, little solid research has looked at whether it’s useful in treating severe depression or whether it can “chase the blues away” or smooth out life’s ups and downs.
-    There are no studies on the long-term safety of taking St. John’s wort. Short-term side effects seem to be mild, though it can cause an inflammation of the skin.
-    Researchers have little information about possible drug interactions with St. John’s wort.

Kava
Kava can be traced back to special rituals of the people living in the South Pacific, who, on special occasions, would serve a mood-altering beverage brewed from the ground-up roots of the kava kava tree. This “treatment” is now as close as your local supermarket or health food store. The bottom line?
-    Kava appears to relieve some of the symptoms of clinical anxiety. According to a new, unpublished study, it also relieves some of the stress of ordinary living.
-    There are no studies on the long-term safety of taking kava every day.
-    If you take kava, don’t drink alcoholic beverages. If you take prescription drugs, check with your doctor before taking kava.
-    Don’t take kava if you’re under 18, are pregnant or nursing, or plan to operate heavy equipment, cautions the National Nutritional Foods Association, a health food and dietary supplement industry trade group.

You can help people who suffer from liver disorders, too, by telling them of this happiness cure. They will have reason to be grateful to you. If your own liver, the most important gland in your body, is not working as it should, let happiness set about casting out trouble and anxiety. It can wage a successful war against these saboteurs and will effectively counteract the damage done by them. Take and use this help which, though sometimes buried deep within you, is always ready to come to your assistance. Be filled with the rhythm of the pulsating life of happiness; be glad, even if the gladness at first is somewhat artificial and forced. Breathe deeply and at the same time concentrate upon something of beauty and value. Eventually you will find that happiness will pervade your whole being and so master your body and all its functions.

Nevertheless, in spite of local efforts, the new habit spread faster than the protective defence could educate. There is an awful attitude and saying that poisons the minds of children, youths and adults alike: “That’s the way it’s done today. Someone else can clean up after us!’ Just take the following experience. While waiting for their train, two fresh-looking girls from the Engadine littered the whole platform with peanut shells. An observer’s remark of ‘Well, now!’ caused nothing but the weakest indication of embarrassment on their part and the thoughtless excuse: ‘Everybody does this nowadays; the cleaner will sweep it all up anyway.’

If this is the attitude of modern youths, it is no wonder that we encounter a lack of concern and love for untouched nature even in the most beautiful areas. Today, it is quite common to see rubbish in gorges and streams. A campsite, picnic area or wayside frequently tells us that visitors have enjoyed themselves without giving as much as a single thought to the fact that other people want to enjoy the beauty unspoiled. How can they do so if they have to sit down in the midst of empty cans, bottles, paper and all kinds of rubbish? Neither meadows nor forests, not even rhododendrons and the white snow escape this antisocial behaviour! It is amazing how quickly good habits become forgotten when bad influences take over. How superficial the sense of beauty really is when it can close its eyes to ugly disorder!

I do admit that these chemicals have saved the lives of a number of people, especially in tropical regions. On the other hand, one must face the fact that one cannot shoot sparrows with cannon balls. Honestly, I would not like to eat vegetables and fruit every day knowing that they contained measurable traces of these poisons, which actually remain in the body. For this reason they steadily accumulate in the system until a certain degree of concentration is reached that puts the person’s health and life in jeopardy.

Eichholz, a well-known and outspoken professor from Heidelberg, Germany, has stated that in large cities hardly an autopsy takes place where the fatty tissue does not show traces of DDT. People who lose weight during a severe illness are in danger when poisons begin to settle in the fatty tissue, because the body will draw on its own tissues and the toxic matter will enter the bloodstream and trigger reactions that not even the physician is able to explain.

Whole buckwheat: Precook some buckwheat in a little water or vegetable stock. Make a sauce from two teaspoons of wholegrain (wholemeal) flour, finely chopped herbs and unseasoned tomato puree and mix with the buckwheat. Add some stewed onion and a little oil, and cook until the grains are soft but still whole.

Cold buckwheat: Prepare some buckwheat as above, pour it into a mould and leave to cool. When cold, remove from the mould and garnish with parsley and tomatoes. Serve with a green salad.

Fried buckwheat: Prepare a buckwheat gruel, then add some finely chopped onions, garlic and a little marjoram. Form into small shapes and fry in oil on both sides until golden brown.

As suggested in the previous section, non-meat-eaters may find it difficult to get the necessary protein in tropical countries. Milk and milk products are usually scarce or unobtainable because the climate is too hot for productive dairy farming. Soya is not grown everywhere and nuts are often unknown. So what can be used to provide protein? Small island populations could not survive if it were not for seafood. Shellfish are a welcome and valuable source of protein in these areas.

Of what benefit is seafood for those of us who already obtain enough protein from other sources? The addition of seafood is then not really essential. Still, we are accustomed to eating many things that are not absolutely necessary; for example, we could live without citrus and tropical fruits, yet we are glad and grateful for the added variety. Seafood contains good quality protein, is easily digestible and many prefer it to animal protein. Important, too, is the fact that seafood contains traces of iodine.

On 31 March 1964 I received the first letter from a patient in Brussels who had been suffering from multiple sclerosis for sixteen years. A year later, on 30 April 1965, he wrote again, about the effect of the recommended treatment. His letter read as follows:

‘I have been taking your reliable medicines for one year now and have very much improved. It is exactly a year since I started taking Petasites, Usneasan, Echinaforce, Aesculaforce, Urticalcin and Biocarottin regularly. Every week I receive a massage with fresh bullock testicles. My nurse always waits at the slaughterhouse when a bull is killed, so that she can get the testicles quite fresh. The massages are indeed excellent for me. But let me give you a few details of my progress. All symptoms caused by the illness -cold feet, problems with the bowel movement, insufficient urination, bad eyesight, half the head going numb – have completely disappeared. However, I am not yet able to walk. True, I can stand up now and my right foot is already 60 per cent active; only the left foot does not respond yet. But considering that I have been ill for seventeen years, I have made very good progress in just one year. May I add that I had not been able to hold a long conversation without getting tired out; but this is no longer a problem.

For one thing, vaccines are not available for every disease; what is more, vaccination in itself can often pose a problem for the traveller, because it can weaken his general condition. And do not forget that for many serious tropical diseases prophylactics do not exist. What comfort will the most beautiful and tempting colour brochure depicting glorious beaches and colourful surroundings be if the unsuspecting tourist comes down with something serious? Moreover, the treatment of tropical diseases is not always a simple, easy or safe matter. Strong medication is required and this affects especially the liver, often inflicting great harm. I have been shocked many times when browsing through travel brochures, to see that they give no hint whether the travel agencies, tour operators and their guides have any idea at all of the dangers in the destinations advertised. One such brochure planned to take the travellers to an area in Sri Lanka, to the south of Colombo and Mount Lavinia, an area where the dreaded tropical disease elephantiasis has not yet been fully eradicated. In spite of this knowledge, the agents chose exactly that place for an overnight stay.

When prepared with love, food tends to taste better. By the same token, a nicely set table which does not reflect the haste of the daily routine, but which does show care and attentiveness, most certainly promotes the desire to eat by stimulating the flow of gastric juices, encouraging good digestion and the assimilation of the food. It goes without saying that the atmosphere at the table likewise contributes to better digestion. Every meal should be a family party where not only is the good food enjoyed and appreciated but also where stimulating conversation takes place.

Skilful seasoning of food is of great importance too. This is not accomplished by simply sprinkling salt on everything, but by using different herbs, the effects of which we should endeavour to find out. Most seasoning herbs serve to stimulate the stomach lining to increase its secretions and thus aid the digestive process.

It is too bad that in modern times we have lost much of what used to be known as table manners and the pleasures of sharing a meal with family and friends. Modern man is glutted with the hurried pace of life, always on the go, confronted with an endless choice of newspapers, radio and television programmes, so that even such things as TV dinners, eaten in front of the screen, are now becoming a way of life. Is it any wonder that so many people are suffering from gastric ailments, indigestion and ulcers?
