Re: Cowan on Infectious Disease...

<http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/treat1.php> quotes Cowan

in his book " The Fourfold Path to Healing " . I don't see any more of his work

quoted in your articles.

+++Hi . I do not quote much of what Tom Cowan writes because I disagree

with him on a number of issues.0

outreach in Germany now suffering from a " cold " (and wanting to go to the doctor

to get antibiotics...), I've been searching for ways to help him.

> He left here obese and addicted to carbs (I'd only been on your pgm for about

4-5 months by the time he left so I'd not made all the changes that have now

been implemented in our home diet). He consisted mostly on carbs while away

with little meat and no knowledge of the 'spread' he consumed being butter or

margarine. He told me he had perhaps two eggs while away.

> I started pumping good food in him the moment he got home (2 eggs/day). His

symptoms became horrendous (green snot, lots of mucous, coughing, etc.) and I

sought a way to ease the symptoms while continuing to allow him to heal and to

keep him off drugs.

> Now reading the chapter in Cowan's book on " infectious diseases " , he

suggests stopping foods high in sulphur (garlic, eggs) and meat, and going on a

liquid diet (which you had suggested), which makes a lot of sense to me. My

main concern with not eating eggs or meat is that there is nothing left to eat

but veggies and grains, which is what he recommends.

> My question to you is: what do you think of stopping having eggs/meat for such

a person as my son who has not been on your pgm but slowly transitioning them

over? Perhaps his bad symptoms are because I pushed him too quickly to get back

on good food.....

+++Tomas Cowan is a Medical Doctor and therefore treats each part of the body

separately, and he certainly does not understand the healing processes, and how

the body heals itself naturally.

+++If he did, he would not be telling people to stop foods high in sulphur.

Sulphur is one of the 7 macrominerals the body requires daily, and it is " most

important " for detoxification processes [found in his own Medical Physiology

Textbook]. Therefore, you can expect to get detoxifying symptoms with sulphur

because that is what it helps the body do, along with other processes.

Sulphur, like all nutrients, does not work by itself. Sulphur, like all

minerals, must have the correct combination of fats I recommend, along with

vitamins, protein, water, etc. " All nutrients work together in the body. "

In order to minimize detox reactions so they are more tolerable start with small

amounts and slowly increase them over time, i.e. start with 1/2 - 1 teaspoon of

egg yolk with 3 meals per day, and not increase the amount any more often than

every 5 days.
