Question 23

What causes calcium deficiency in the human body?

Answer 23

One reason, of course, is the use of
processed “foods” which have been robbed of much of the calcium they originally had. The next cause of calcium deficiency is the use
of so much inorganic sugars and starches (the starches turn to sugars).
This sugar leaches out the calcium from the body of the mother. The
fetus is also drawing on the mother’s calcium for self-preservation.

alkaline

Question 29

Discuss the importance of nursing a child.

Answer 29

The love felt by a baby nursing at its mother’s breast is the love
that can change the world. During my years as a doctor, many were
the times I have said, “This child has been bottle fed,” or “This child
has been nursed at the breast.” The difference in the emotional characteristics
is easily recognized in the child. Articles in national publication
are continually citing the fact that many teenage problems
come from bottle-feeding.

Question 30

When do a child’s gastric juices begin to flow?

Answer 30

The new born infant has no gastric juices flowing until it cuts its eye teeth (#4 & 5 on top)
and its stomach teeth (#4 & 5 on the bottom)

Question 31

What significance does this process have

regarding his assimilation of food?

Answer 31

hen these teeth come
in (at approximately 18 months), it is the sign of time for weaning, the
signal that the child’s gastric juices have started to flow. Up to this time
the baby needed a pre-digested food, because without gastric juices it
could not digest proteins and starches!

Question 32

What is Dr. Ellis’ view concerning milk and cheese in the diet?

Answer 32

“Milk and milk products are harmful to many people, both adults and infants.
Milk is a contributing factor in constipation, chronic fatigue, arthritis,
headaches, muscle cramps, obesity, allergies, and heart problems.”Dr. Ellis does not blame cholesterol, but xanthine oxidase (an enzyme in homogenized milk), excess calories, tyramine (a protein in cheese that causes headaches), and poor absorption. He blames especially the latter, as milk neutralizes the hydrochloric acid necessary to digestfood and creates excess mucus which inhibits absorption.

Question 33

What is the cause of “tooth crowding” and how can this discomfort be prevented?

Answer 33

Crowded teeth result from calcium
deficiency, starting with the mother and father (his seed passes on
down his weaknesses also). Calcium deficiency causes development of a smaller jaw and subsequent crowding of teeth.
