=====================NOTICE*===================
You have recently purchased some of my
earlier writings, hence the following suggestion:
As my regular readers know, I do not
favor the use of protein and starchy foods in the same meal. The only exceptions
that I ever made to this combination was the use of potatoes with meat in the same
meal and the serving of milk with starch. I still allow the occasional use of potatoes
with meat for well people, for the potash content of the potato helps with the digestion
of these two foods. But the combination of milk with starch I discontinued some
years ago.
In some of my former writings this
correction has not yet been made, therefore we are asking our readers to keep this
in mind when studying those particular works. Where you find milk in combination
with starch, change the milk to teakettle tea, which means hot water with a little
cream (which is fat, not protein) and a small amount of sugar.

THE ROAD OF ILL HEALTH
___________
To understand the cause of appendicitis we must go back
to the beginning, and when we do we find that it starts just where all diseases start,
namely, where health leaves off! When the laws of health are broken for the
first time, it can be said that the individual has started on the road of ill health.
How fast he will travel and just what will be the character of the disease he meets
with will depend upon his constitution, inheritance, environment and education.
