this is the last article extracted from the recently posted material by Morris Krok. I have more material which I will post if/when authorized. I might make one short extract article from that new material - to be determined. Tom Billings =========================================================== MORRIS KROK ON NATURE CURE, SUNSHINE, WATER CURE An extract of material written by Morris Krok Note: the material below was written by Morris Krok, and is extracted from a long article released on Internet. This article was edited by Tom Billings. Healing by Water by T Hartley-Hennessy added the final touches. This book talks about the use of the healing properties of sun drenched water, fresh air and sunshine in various civilizations from ancient times. By drinking the lightest running stream water or rain water, and also by using it externally in the form of compresses, the water by its osmotic properties would force toxic matter out of the lymph and general circulation as boils and suppurations through the skin. Osmosis means that a light fluid entering a membrane has the ability to force heavier substances lying on the other side out through the skin. You cannot trap life or vitality in a bottle and you cannot store sunshine in a package. Although the good things in life are free we are told of all the magical substances that you can buy in pharmacies and health shops. Sunshine and fresh air are here for the taking but only given passing value in this age of electronics, satellites and placing our faith in technology. There is no force more obstructive to the advancement of mankind than an untruth that is given authoritative approval. Beware what is universally accepted as it can well be the end of man's sanity and logical reason. To know the truth we must become a child of nature and no longer must we think that the keeper of wisdom is found in universities, or that professors, physicians and priests hold the key to salvation, or that the higher truths can be condensed and concisely compressed in the pages of script. But for the simple, logical, powerful and intelligent truth to become part of our life, in a sense we must discover it for ourselves. To a degree we must re-invent the wheel, or test what those geniuses and artists of life taught as the path man must follow. These masters of thought were found in all ages and eons; but for us to be in attunement with their teachings, is no easy task. So much has been written lately and so much of it is contradictory, controversial, confusing and complex that to find fragments of enlightenment is like seeking for a needle in a haystack, [and] as the saying goes there is a lot of hay about. From the age of 19, the law of cause and effect taught me that there is no such thing as medicine, or to state it more explicitly that drugs have no relationship with illness. For this reason I had no problem what others may refer to as playing the "dare game" - that is, daring to go against the [main] stream of accepted belief. But I hope today that I will be able to give you a magic charm, a talisman that you can use for the rest of your life - a transforming genie of Aladdin's lamp. This charm is comprised of a number of simple components. Use of fresh air, sunshine, exercise, rest and natural food. But first we must change our conception about what we are taught. Here again we must free our mind from the untrue. Whether we are aware of it or not, we are all searching for understanding and a few simple secrets that will make us more efficient; but this is not possible if we believe glibly whatever is to told to us. To flow with life and reality and live in the now, we must cease thinking that there are such things as specific illnesses or that there are specific remedies; and that something outside of ourselves like germs, viruses and bacteria are attacking us and causing our symptoms. We must realize once and for all that it is our [own] wrong habits which are the cause. For this reason, we must cease thinking that food has healing properties or that it is curative. Sunshine and all the other elements combined correctly has the purpose of freeing our hollow cavities and ducts of unwanted substances so that the three motors of the body - those in the lungs, the abdomen and MORRIS KROK ON NATURE CURE, SUNSHINE, WATER CURE (continued) brain can function efficiently. Tarzan rightly thumped his chest to prove how clear his lungs and heart are, and how they resonate with purity. Let us start with the blazing sun, the golden light. Once we have adjusted our eating habits to include more raw foods, eating when true hunger is present so as to ensure that we have efficient assimilation and good bowel evacuation, then we can go full speed ahead in the prudent use of exercise, internal cleansing, fresh air and sunshine to add that sparkle to life and put the spring back into our step. To enjoy our food we should eat only when the mouth fills with copious amount of saliva and you can hear the digestive juices rumbling in the stomach, and the remnants from the previous meal are completely out of the colon. These experiences will illustrate what I mean. Everyday, I ask myself what do all my experiences, studies culminate in. In what simple form can it be defined? What is the end of what I regard as man's final quest? What in other words, works and what does not? The answer is simply this: To attain our highest potential where the body and mind are properly co-ordinated, the first step is to erase the fundamental error that man has made since he ceased becoming a food gatherer, and complicated his life with fire, menus and recipes. We must assist the body in every possible way to eliminate what it cannot use or what is toxic, so that these substances cannot interfere with the finer workings of the organism. ...material deleted... To conclude the food story, all concentrated foods from both animal kingdom and the vegetable kingdom are acid and mucus forming. This includes dairy products, cheese, yoghurt, butter, eggs, all meats, grains, nuts, and legumes. It is for this reason that the early naturopaths advocated a 80% alkaline diet with 20% acid forming foods. In passing through the digestive tract - stomach, small intestines and colon, these foods leave slimy residues behind from infancy onwards. They accumulate layer upon layer, and when the membranes become saturated with this pernicious substance we get colds coughs etc. With gravity it descends to the kidneys, bladder and colon and against gravity it ascends along the membraneous tract upwards to the bronchioles, alveoli (air sacs of the lungs), throat, tongue, nasal passages, and eustachian tubes. It pollutes the lymph, that circulation that feeds our bloodstream and causes dandruff, underarm odor, etc. Let me tell you what in my opinion, is the greatest health discovery of all time. It is the naturopathic concept that the moment you omit a toxic or addictive substance, the body commences the elimination of that substance which in turn produces a withdrawal symptom. Each undesirable substance produces its distinct symptom of withdrawal. The importance of this discovery is that naturopaths found the essential thing is not to suppress this symptom but to let it run its course. The patient must just learn to bear it and if they are of a slight nature to welcome them and rejoice that the body is now eliminating what is not good. One only has to eat the addictive substance once a day for the suppression of withdrawal to take place. Tea, coffee, chocolate, salt, certain spices, cooked food, drugs, exercise, and even too much eating of even raw food, can suppress a symptom. Simplicity is the key note to success. This statement is most important for, to give our mind - our crowning possession - full reign and control of our conscious and subconscious minds, we must interfere with the body as little as possible and make things simple for it. And as "miracles are wrought on an empty stomach", the easiest way to achieve this is not to eat MORRIS KROK ON NATURE CURE, SUNSHINE, WATER CURE (continued) unless true hunger is present, and not to drink unless thirsty. When our digestive tract is not overtaxed with food and liquid, and is in a relatively clean condition, our mind becomes free to focus fully on externals, and permit the subconscious to weave its unique brand of magic and flash solutions on our consciousness in its own time. This is the correct definition of thinking. Thinking is, after gathering all the relevant information, to wait for the subconscious to delete, merge, associate, and create those symbols, charts and abbreviated characters that contain the answers. This is contrary to what the health world believes and teaches. If you wish to become confused, first the doctor and pharmacist will offer a thousand and one remedies, then the natural health practitioners, unless they subscribe to the original nature cure teachings that toxic substances in the body are responsible for our ailments, will also tell us to take remedies and supplements - hundreds of which are found in the Health shop. How absurd and fallacious. At birth we come into the world with a blank mind and the only things worthwhile to retain in it are those experiences which are provable and can be demonstrated year in year out. Consequently, if all the things we must believe in and use to be healthy, surely we would have known them at birth. So it may imply that there is nothing special to believe in or something special to take. Accordingly if you have a problem, you are deficient in some element or mentally deficient or both. The other day I went to [a] health shop and the assistant told me that the owner takes 150 different types of pills a day. It is ridiculous to think that all these expensive items can do anything for us, if at the same time we are eating large amounts of refined, adulterated, chemicalised, cooked items. The owner who is over 70 and has a lot of energy, so I am told, must live sensibly as well. So what is keeping her young, intelligent living or the tablets? One cannot even prove that the pills are achieving anything. Much of what I write and what I find of value, comes to me usually unsought, after doing some yoga exercises and drinking five or more glasses of water on an empty stomach in the early hours of the morning. I also do some water sniffing..............But in the end, it is not what you read in books that counts but what you experience, or by chaining segments of truth from one book to another to get the right picture. Man I believe is always searching, even if he is not aware of it for some answer or solution to a problem in life. Truth comes in small segments to one who is attuned; and attunement is more probable, prevalent and pronounced after internal purification. ...material deleted... 11. In 1964 I was living on a 12 acre small holding in the country and the water we drank came from a rain water tank. One day I decided to live only on rain water for a few days. I must have drunk at least 15 glasses of water during the course of a day. After a few days a suppurating wound opened on my left arm at the very spot that the needle was inserted when I donated blood. For an entire week the arm was swollen and suppurated, and what oozed out smelled of wheat products - during my youth I was a big eater of cakes, biscuits and starchy foods. The swelling was almost down when a bee stung me on my right hand. Now suppuration oozed out of this wound for over a week. Osmotic pressure as explained in "Healing by Water" was the cause of the suppuration - a light fluid passing through a membrane has the necessary pressure to displace through the skin the heavier fluids that are present on the other side of the membrane. Instead of drinking less water, I drank more to increase the internal pressure; at no time did I use any suppressive means to stop the suppuration. My understanding was that it would cease on its own accord the moment most of the unwanted matter was washed out of the system. MORRIS KROK ON NATURE CURE, SUNSHINE, WATER CURE (continued) 12. Misguided as we are, we forget about the wonders of the elements - light, sunshine, fresh air and water. At one time I had many warts on my hands, and without knowing why I decided to have three cold showers a day. After continuing in that vein for over a month I was surprised to find that they had disappeared. There was one large wart on the inside of one of the fingers that remained until months later I decided to increase the amount of water that I was drinking. And after a few days I noticed that it was starting to shrink and a few weeks later it had disappeared. There is no doubt in my mind now that if I had sunbaths during the same period that I was showering, the warts would have disappeared earlier. 13. Another incident which also proved the therapeutical value of water concerned my wife. While on a visit to California about 12 years ago, my wife experienced such severe back pain that she could not get in and out of the bath or into the bed without help. My daughter took her to a chiropractor who did some massaging and prescribed vitamin C tablets. All this treatment did not help. A day or two later, I told my wife to drink five glasses of warm water in the morning, five glasses at midday and another five glasses in the evening. At every session after drinking the water she became nauseous and vomited. However she was delightfully suprised to find that night that the pain had disappeared and she no longer had any trouble going in and out of the bath or bed. The severe backache was never experienced again. Note by Tom Billings: Those in the U.S. can order the books by Morris Krok from his daughter, contact: Susan Krok 21 Coquito Ct.
