For treating ill persons It is always more exacting to make such a diagnosis based on analysis of the body fluids, x-rays, CT scans - however in most cases these are sought only if indications for the common symptoms fail. Pancreatic cancer, for example is almost never diagnosed until it is too late. When serious conditions have advanced, often x-rays and CT scans are void of visually identifiable abnormal conditions.
Only after trial and error does the average patient seek the doctor. The patients themselves usually treat unwanted symptoms with the use of old remedies and over the counter non - prescription drugs. Women are more apt to seek the aid of a physician for themselves and their children before the male does, (a macho thing) perhaps that's why women generally outlive males.
Most early manifested symptoms are nutritional needs by the body. The symptoms are so important, because the body function is "crying out" wherein it needs help. Properly interpreting these unwanted symptoms quickly satisfies the person when they can do something about it to experience relief. Our natural ability to recognize the need for more rest, sleep, water and certain foods has been lost by most persons, including the doctor. We seem to have lost our natural ability to know what to do, so can we feel better.
My grandparents rarely used the doctor while they parented their children. Why? Because their parents and my great grandparents, were more prepared with remedies for symptoms. Baking soda, sauerkraut, vinegar, even kerosene were household items including Epsom salts as well as horse liniments. Herbal remedies were common, such as "Dr. Pierce's" Golden Medical Discovery," a tonic for young and old. Comfrey tea, chamomile and peppermint were also used and have become popular again today.
Nu-Health, Inc, a research company, I have been associated with since 1976, did many studies on both nutrients and old remedies. After thousands of patients helped us in these research studies, we found many scientific reasons why they worked in the past and can work in the present day. The use of vinegar and sodium bicarbonate (old-fashioned Arm & Hammer Baking Soda) used for symptoms basically was simply balancing our body's acid/alkaline system (now we call PH.) One's ph balance helps the body properly absorb important nutrients from our foods daily. Due to over cultivation of soil, it lacks a lot of important nutrients. Also, the use of pesticides and commercial fertilizers add to the body's symptoms as well as the accumulation of some nonprescription and prescription drugs and pollutions.
We want to introduce the "Questionnaire" we have made available to you. It has been produced from a medical questionnaire we used all over the world in clinical settings. We used and researched this questionnaire for some twenty years now. It is based on university studies of individual nutrients. Malcolm J. White, one of the original computer engineers for IBM, performed these studies with utmost skill. We actually tested this questionnaire along with lab studies to see how accurate it was. To our amazement, it has proved true many times, because symptoms - problems are spotted before they can be seen in analysis studies.
Indeed our bodies are wonderfully made. If you have unwanted symptoms you can't seem to get rid of and conventional methods have not helped determine a serious problem, take our Q400 SQ. Find out without any Guesswork what your body is asking for and what foods to eat, precisely, for your specific chemistry and which organs need attention now or in the near future.
Good health to you.
Dr. John R. Crofoot.
