• Solanum lycopersicum

• Tomato horn worm


The Understanding


Understanding the Incomprehensible

“In the larger scheme of things, the miracles these food essences continually perform

inside our cells, outside our awareness, are very tiny, but they are major miracles in the lives of cells. They are changing forever their destiny-and consequently our destiny with

their cumulative effects”

* Food Your Miracle Medicine Jean Carper



Food is the principle interface on the physical level between Nature and us. It weaves us

together in the framework of life.

The appropriate eating of food is a means of vitalizing* ourselves from our environment in

a harmonious way

*Vitalizing=Nourishing+Energizing+Spiritualizing



Food vitalizes by stimulating specific emotional & spiritual qualities within our nature. These reinforce definite emotional attributes and harmonizes us at all levels of our being

§ 9

“…so that our in dwelling, reason-gifted mind can freely employ this living, healthy instrument for

the higher purposes of our existence”

In Nature Bryonia alba (cucurbitaceae) leaves may be used as a food plant by the larvae of Cabbage Moths from cabbage & broccoli



“ Food vitalizes by imparting and stimulating peculiar, different yet determinate qualities (their

quintessence) inside our organism. These reinforce definite emotional attributes and harmonizes us at

all levels of our being “so that our in dwelling, reason-gifted mind can freely employ this living,

healthy instrument for the higher purposes of our existence (§ 9)”


The Understanding

“Every food is a Superconductor

of its Quintessence (Indispensable Signature Quality),

that gets imbibed into the human organism when it is consumed. ”


FOOD DYNAMICS

Dr Chetna N Shukla


FOOD DYNAMICS

1. Energetic view -Food as calories gives energy to move and perform physiological functions

2. Materialistic View -Food gives us fats, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, anti-oxidants and more

3. Metaphysical view -Eating is a way of weaving us together in the framework of life


Conventional Food Paradigm

Lavoisier 1780- Life is a chemical function and foods

are the combustibles. Food =calories

Later Food = proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, vitamins, enzymes, phytochemicals, alkaloids, hormones phytonutrients etc

=Materialistic-Mechanistic View on food


Conventional Food Paradigm


Materialistic View- Doctrine of Signatures

• Paracelsus (1491–1541) developed the concept, writing that "Nature marks each growth .. according to its curative benefit“

• Botanist William Coles (1626–1662) supposed that God had made 'Herbs for the use of men, and hath given them particular Signatures, whereby a man may read ... the use of them‘

• It is now called by scientists, "Teleological Nutritional Targeting"



“The idea is that for every human binding and every part of the human body there is a corresponding

part in the cosmos outside”

This concept flows from the ancient belief that man’souter world-the Cosmos; the macrocosm is reflectedin its inner world, or the microcosm.In nature we willfind a counterpart for every part of the humananatomy and also a counterpart of the whole gestaltof the individual. Man’s quest is to find thecorresponding counterpart to heal himself



To make the search easier, the almighty nature stamped all these counterparts to resemble the

disease in its outer appearance- shape, color, structure, and inner nature-chemistry, physiology,

behavior in a direct or some symbolic way and many other ways. In homoeopathy we have a unique way

of verifying this wisdom of the doctrine, by

“ Provings”



Coles’s The Art of Sampling and Adam in Eden

• Walnuts were good for curing head ailments because in his opinion, "they have the perfect Signatures of the Head"

• Hypericum -"the leaves of St. John’s wort are full of little holes , do resemble all the pores of the skin and therefore it is profitable for all hurts and wounds that can happen thereunto



Juglans regia- Walnut Hypericum perfolatum – St Johns wort



• Walnuts do contain serotonin. They also contain omega-3 essential fatty acids, vitamin E and vitamin B6. Vitamin E protects the arteries and research has found that vitamin B6 slashes your risk of Parkinson’s disease

• Walnuts can help relieve depression, but “We now know that walnuts help develop over 3 dozen neuro-transmitters for brain function”



Signatures of some plants used in herbalismReflected in the common names of some plants, as for instance:

• Eyebright -eye infections

• Hedge woundwort -antiseptic qualities

• Liverwort (Marchantiophyta or Hepatica)- liver

• Lungwort - pulmonary infections

• Spleenwort, Asplenium - spleen

• Toothwort, Dentaria - tooth ailments



A sliced mushroom looks like the human ear and they are known to improve hearing. As mushrooms are one of the few foods that contain vitamin D. This particular vitamin is important for healthy bones, even the tiny ones in the ear that transmit sound to the brain



Avocados are a good source of folic acid, Folate has been found to reduce the risk for cervical dysplasia, which is a precancerous condition. The other connection to the avocado and the uterus is that omega-3 essential fatty acids can help to regulate hormones

It takes exactly 9 months to grow an Avocado from blossom to ripened fruit



Eyes need antioxidants. In fact, one therapy for cataracts is a stiff regimen of antioxidants. The antioxidants in carrots do help contribute to protecting the eyes. Carrots give the body vitamin A. If you lack vitamin A, your body won’t have enough retinal to combine with opsin to make rhodopsin and you will suffer from night blindness



Tomatoes have antioxidants and phyto-chemicals that every body needs. Studies of Italians (who love their tomato sauce) show they have less cancer (stomach, esophagus, mouth). The cardiovascular system needs antioxidants to prevent cardiovascular disease. The lycopene from tomatoes is best absorbed by the body after being cooked? Lycopeneis great for the heart, but it is delivered better when in the form of ketchup or marinara sauce


Materialistic-Mechanistic Paradigm

• Everything is transformed

• Everything breaks down to basic energy, that moves from more to less organized state= Entropy

• NO difference between interaction of substances in body or outside body


Materialistic – Mechanistic Paradigm

Science is based on intellect, dissection, division, and analysis. Intelligence joins things together, makes a

whole out of parts- because this is one of the greatest understandings: that the part exists

through the whole, not vice versa. And the whole is not just the sum of the parts; it is more than the

parts


Metaphysical View

Biological Transmutation

Louis Kervan (1935)

Documented the phenomenon of ‘biological transmutation’-a natural alchemical process that happens when one element is transmuted into another element


Metaphysical View

Kervans Observation of Biological Transmutation …

*Chickens-no limestone in diet, ate a great deal of mica(silicate).

*Chickens were killed no mica was found , instead sand inside.

*Later Experiments -mica taken away from diet, eggshellsbecame devoid of calcium and they stopped producing eggs.

*Mica added back in diet they began to produce eggs again.

Inference= Mica contains some silicate of potassium which isconverted to calcium by Biological Transmutation.

Mica Calcium


Metaphysical View Kervans Observation of Biological Transmutation


Metaphysical View

Kervans Observation of Biological Transmutation …

• Sahara desert , workers ate excess salt and excreted far morepotassium . It was

Na 23 +O 16 =K 39

Sodium Potassium


Metaphysical View

Kervan’s Several Observations of Biological Transmutation …

*potassium &hydrogen –k+H+specific enzyme=Ca

*magnesium&oxygen-Mg+O+ specific enzyme= Ca

*silicon&carbon-Si+C+ specific enzyme =Ca

*Sodium+Hydrogen-Na+H+specific enzyme=Mg

*Sodium+Oxygen-Na+O+specific enzyme=K


Metaphysical View

• His research on rats and humans suggests that bone recalcification with silica seems to happen more efficiently than with a direct calcium supplement

• People with trouble raising iron with iron supplements might benefit from manganese , which transmutes to iron by a separate metabolic pathway in the body


Metaphysical View

Biological Transmutation involves process that is different from …

*Chemistry ( displacement of electrons in the shell)

*Physics- fission & fusion ( law of conservation of matter and energy)


Metaphysical View


Metaphysical View

“ When one is confronted with a fact that is in opposition to a prevalent theory, one must accept this fact and abandon the theory”

- Claude Bernard


Metaphysical View

Biological Transmutation gives a depth to understanding …

*that everyone has different biochemical needs and, therefore unique nutritional needs

*that the functioning of everyone’s cells is a very individualized pattern

*nutritional needs are determined by the amount of enzymes available


THE FINAL IMPLICATION

is that the healthier the vital force the more energy and ability an individual has to

biologically transmute

is that the healthier the vital force the better the ability to biologically transmute


Metaphysical View

Biological transmutation &Homoeopathy

…that everyone has different biochemical needs and, therefore unique nutritional

needs indicated by food affinities that weave us together in harmony into the framework

of life


THE FINAL QUESTION

There is sufficient evidence of biological transmutation!


THE ANSWER

Therefore

… we need a diet that is individualized and in alignment with the dynamic/spiritual needs

of the individual!

FOOD PHARMACY

FOOD DIAITA

The Appropriate Therapeutic Diet

Dr Chetna N Shukla


Binding is disease!

Food binding is also a sign of disease !


Food Pharmacy- In Health

In health the vital force rules with “unbounded sway”. It is free of all bindings,

even in taste and food. It is not a slave to any food that it desires/ has aversion and has no

fear/hatred for any food that it has an aggravation/aversion from.

Any binding is disease!


Food Pharmacy- §259

“Considering the minuteness of the doses necessary & proper in homoeopathic

treatment , we can easily understand that during the treatment everything must be

removed from the diet & regimen which can have any medicinal action, in order that the

small dose may not be overwhelmed & extinguished or disturbed by any foreign

medicinal irritant “


Food Pharmacy- §260

“ Hence the careful investigation into such obstacles to cure is so much the more

necessary in the case of patients affected by chronic diseases, as their disease are usually

aggravated by such noxious influences & other disease causing errors in the diet & regimen,

which often pass unnoticed”


Food Pharmacy- Sickness §261

“The most appropriate regimen during the employment of medicine in chronic diseases consists in the removal of such obstacles to recovery, and in supplying where necessary the reverse; innocent moral and intellectual recreation, active exercise in the open air in

almost all kinds of weather (daily walks, slight manual labor), suitable, nutritious, unmedicinal food and drink, etc.”


Food Pharmacy- In Sickness §262

“In acute diseases, on the other hand-except in cases of mental alienation-the subtle, unerring internal sense of the awakened life preserving faculty determines so clearly and precisely, that the physician only requires to counsel the friend’s and attendants to put no obstacles in the way of this voice of nature by refusing anything the patient urgently desires in the way of food, or by trying to persuade him to partake of anything injurious”



“The desire of the patient affected by an acute disease with regard to food and drink is

certainly chiefly for things that give palliative relief: they are, however, not strictly speaking of a medicinal character, and merely supply a sort of want. The slight hindrances that the gratification of this desire, within moderate

bounds, could oppose to the radical removal of the disease (Foot note 141)



… will be amply counteracted by the power of the homoeopathically suited medicine and the

vital force set free by it, as also by the refreshment that follows from taking what has

been so ardently longed for ”


Food

Feeds or Fights Disease


Food Pharmacy- In Sickness §263 F.n 141

“This is, however rare. Thus, for instance, in pure inflammatory diseases, where aconite is so indispensable, whose action would be destroyed by partaking of vegetable acids, the desire of the patient is almost always for pure cold water only”


Food Pharmacy- In Sickness §263 F.n 141

And in chronic diseases where Aconite would be indicated there could be present a desire for something that would definitely nourish the derangement and can be an obstacle to recovery!


Food Pharmacy-Interpretation

The indicated medicine will have

in its food affinities

(desires & aversions , aggravations & ameliorations)

foods that nourish its disposition

(towards health in acute & towards sickness in chronic conditions)


Food Pharmacy- Aconite

Aconite

Antidote: Alcohol, Wine, Vinegar, Vegetable acids

Aversion: Fatty food, Milk

Desire: Beans* & peas, Delicacies, Cabbage, Fruit, Sweets, Tobacco, Bitter drinks

Worse: Milk, Onions, Pork, Wine

Better: Wine( >numbness of jaw)• Beans have citric and malic and small amounts of succinic &

fumaric acids . Peas have malic, Wine has citric acid.

• Cabbage is an alkaline food


Food Pharmacy-Evidence

Lachesis

• Desires: Alcohol

• Antidote to Lachesis : Alcohol

• Causation: Alcohol

Mezereum

• Aversion: Milk

• Better: Milk

• Antidote to Mezereum: Milk


Tabacum• Better: Sour apple (> nausea), Vinegar, Wine• Antidote to Tabacum: Sour apple, Vinegar,

Wine… is the modality in chronic diseases.• Aversion: Smell of Tobacco• Desire: Tobacco (because of it being harmful

in its crude form too)• Worse: Tobacco




Carbo-veg

• Desires: Salt food• Causation: Salt food…is the modality in chronic

diseases.• Mouth: Pain general gums salt food from (C.R 891)• Teeth: Pain tearing salt food from (C.R 951)• And the combination of …• Aversion: Cabbage, Fats• Worse: Cabbage, Fats


Food Pharmacy-Inference

• Foods ( desires) have medicinal value, can be palliative or supplies a want - Acute diseases

• Foods ( desires) nourishes the derangement i.e. are disease promoters - Chronic diseases


Food Pharmacy-Inference

Food

Desires, Aversion, Worse, Relief

In Acute diseases are palliative, supply a want or act as potent medicine

In Chronic diseases nourishes the derangement

Promote the disease


Food Pharmacy- Direct Pointer

• Coffee aggravates: Oxalic acid

• Coffee aversion: Oxalic acid

Coffee and tea contain Oxalic acid.


Food Pharmacy-Direct Pointer

• Strawberries agg: Fragaria.• Honey agg: Apis-mellifica.• Chocolate desire: Chocolate• Onions desire: Allium cepa• Biscuits desire & agg: Nat-carb• Garlic desire: Allium sativa• Salt things desire: Nat-m• Alcohol desires: Alco


Food Pharmacy-Indirect Pointer

• Strawberries aggravate: Oxalic acid (chronic)

• Strawberries aversion: Oxalic acid (chronic)

• Strawberries desire: Oxalic acid (acute)Berries especially strawberries and cranberries are rich in Oxalic acid

Aggravation/aversion/desire for Strawberries in the remedy Oxalic acid.

Is it Oxalic acid with an affinity for Oxalic acid?



• Fried food desires: Plumbum (chronic)

• Fried food aversion: Plumbum (acute)In cases of suspected lead poisoning, fats (fried and fatty foods) help the body retain the lead.

• Yogurt desires: Nat-sulph

• Diarrhea ameliorates: Nat-sulphLactobacillus can add good microorganisms to overcome the harmful ones thus restoring order. That’s why yogurt can perform two seemingly opposite functions: relieve diarrhea and act as a laxative!



• Apples aggravate: Ant-tart

• Apple aversion: Ant-tart

• Apple desires: Ant-tart (acute disease)

Viruses don’t live long in the presence of apple juice. It can inactivate poliovirus in test tubes. Researchers found that eating apples assures of a lower incidence of colds and upper respiratory ailments.


Food Pharmacy- Parallels

• Fish desire: Nat-m

• Fish aversion: Nat-m, and Aqua-marina

• Oysters aversion: Sepia

• Fish aggravation: Medusa, and Sepia

• Oysters aversion: Nat-m, Sep

• Oysters desires: Nat-m


Food Pharmacy- Antidote

• Chamomile tea and roasted coffee is an antidote to the Allium-cepa state.

• Mustard, vinegar, camphor and vegetable acids antidote the Aloe-s remedy in action. (Although camphor may relieve for a while)

In cases when the remedy given was incorrect & we would like to cut-short its dynamic action we can use foods that act as antidote-to get the clear picture of the original disease


Food Pharmacy- Inference
