Proper food given at the right time and under the right conditions
will not only cure but prevent disease. The truth of this statement
is becoming apparent to an increasing number of people. Of all
foods, fruits seem to rank first in the medicinal qualities needed
by most people. A several-day diet of a particular fruit has proved
effective countless times in curing tonsillitis, appendicitis,
colds, and various other ailments. The citrus fruits, in particular,
help free the body cells of poisons, accumulated largely by eating
too much lifeless, starchy food.
Occult philosophy teaches that fruits are an ideal diet. They
are, in fact, evolved by the fruit trees to induce animal and
man to eat them. Fresh fruit contains water of the purest and
best kind, capable of permeating the system in a marvelous manner.
Grape juice is a particularly wonderful solvent. It thins and
stimulates the blood, opening the way into capillaries already
dried and choked up.
It may be said generally of the solid foods we take into our system,
that fresh vegetables and ripe fruits contain the greatest proportion
of nutritious matter and the least of earthy substances. Citrus
fruits (oranges, lemons, grapefruits, etc.) are powerful antiseptics.
The king of all antiseptics, the pineapple, has been used very
often with complete success as a cure for the dreaded diphtheria,
which is only another name for a septic sore throat. Fruits cleanse
and purify the system, and the pineapple is one of the finest
aids to digestion ever known to man. It is far superior to pepsin,
and no fiendish cruelty is used to obtain it. Of fruits we assimilate
about 85 per cent of the proteins, 90 per cent of the fat, and
90 per cent of the carbohydrates.
Visible Helpers are just as necessary as Invisible Helpers, and
our friends and patients may share in a high privilege, as well
as add much to the power of liberated healing force, by joining
us in prayer for the sick. Our Healing Service is held each evening
in the Healing Temple at 6:30 P.M. (7:30 P.M. when Daylight Time
is in effect), and in the Pro-Ecclesia at 4:15 P.M. when the Moon
is in a cardinal sign on the following dates:
September: 4-10-18-25
October: 1-8-15-22-29
Relax, close your eyes, and make a mental picture of the pure
white rose in the center of the Rosicrucian Emblem on the west
wall of our Pro-Ecclesia, and concentrate on Divine love and Healing.
