Foreword

Man, being a prodigious creation of God, is born healthy and strong. It is only when natures rhythm and cycle are upset that the human system loses its natural capacity to renew and rejuvenate itself. Disorders and ailments set in when the bodys natural processes are strained and impaired through physical and moral excesses. Prevention of disease is indeed better than cure. Even if born with some inherited affliction, the individual can eliminate it or at least control it by using all the elements available freely in Nature.

Health is ensured by observing the laws of nature. Their transgression inflicts the justifiable penalty of suffering and disease. In nature, the beneficial germs which preserve health and make for mental and emotional well-being are far higher in number than those of destruction which inflict disease. Hence, given the opportunity and encouragement to flourish and exert their influence, these germs can combat the unhealthy ones and bestow glowing health.

Reasonable care of oneself, is worship. Essential health care ensures an independent, active, fruitful and fulfilled life while chronic illnesses render man a troublesome invalid dependent on others compassion.

Shri H.K. Bakhru has been contributing numerous articles on various diseases and their cures through dietetics and nature cure treatments, which when put into practice can be of immense benefit to the connoisseur as well as the layman. The book, appropriately titled Diet Cure for Common Ailments, covers the whole gamut of ailments which can be cured merely by proper food habits and regulation of ones life, without recourse to medicinal treatment. The book is based on the theories and fundamentals of Nature Cure that go to preserve health and vitality and regain these when lost. It will undoubtedly be a boon not only to laymen but also to nature cure practitioners as a reference guide because of its practical utility.

Nature Cure has carved a niche in the realm of Curative Sciences in our country and abroad, though the protagonists of the drugless healing system have included a lot of other unorthodox treatments in their curative disciplines. Nature Cure, through its correct application brings about amazing changes that baffle the practitioners of modern medicine, devoid as it is of the crippling side effects of drug treatments. The all-pervading truth is Nature alone possesses the power of healing. There are not many institutions which cater to this system. Hence, many a patient cannot take advantage of it. Shri Bakhrus book will serve as a useful guide to those who wish to treat themselves through this system at home.

I highly appreciate the commendable efforts and labour put in by Shri H.K. Bakhru in compiling this monumental treatise.

Dr. R.G. Krishnatray,
Director, Nature Cure Hospital,
Juhu Scheme, Mumbai.

Preface

There is a growing awareness today about the importance of diet in maintenance of good health besides prevention and treatment of diseases. More and more people are now adopting dietary treatment for overcoming their health problems. This trend, coupled with success attained in treating diseases through appropriate diet, has promoted me to revise my book, Diet Cure For Common Ailment.

This book has proved quite popular since its first publication in 1988 and it has already gone into 19 Jaico Impressions. It has now been revised and enlarged to include more diseases, which respond favourably to dietary treatment, as well as illustrations, and treatment charts. Illustrations would give better understanding of the diseases. Treatment charts provide not only the diet chart, but also other time-tested natural methods of treatment, making the book truly a book for selftreatment of common ailments. It would, however, be advisable to consult a nature cure practitioner in case of serious illnesses.

Introduction
Diet in Health and Disease

Your food shall be your medicineHippocrates.

Diet plays a vital role in the maintenance of good health and in the prevention and cure of disease. In the words of Sir Robert McCarrison, one of the best known nutritionists, "The right kind of food is the most important single factor in the promotion of health; and the wrong kind of food is the most important single factor in the promotion of disease." The human body builds up and maintains healthy cells, tissues, glands and organs only with the help of various nutrients. The body cannot perform any of its functions, be they metabolic, hormonal, mental, physical or chemical, without specific nutrients. The food which provides these nutrients is one of the most essential factors in building and maintaining health. The other essential factor is that, these nutrients must also be appropriately utilised by the body.
