FATHER
KNOWS BEST!
 As
I recollected my first years of JC Tonic®, then called Matonol - my
father's MASTER formula, the Whole Body Tonic, I remember being
laughed at and stared at.
I started to get a couple of pimples when I was about eleven and I
thought well, so what. That is standard for my age group. But as I
began to pinch the zits I just got more and more of them and so I
asked my father one day, "What will I do Dad?" He replied, “Take the
preparation son.” I, like many youngsters today, turned my nose up
because of the somewhat bitter taste, but in those days it was even
more bitter as my father had not bothered to use any flavoring. So I
decided against taking 'the preparation'. Anyway, my brother-in-law
was a physician and surgeon and he told me that my father's
preparation was snake oil and that he had all the latest medical
treatments for that kind of skin condition.
So being smart, as adolescents quite often are, I decided to go with
my brother-in-law's treatment, which did not work, and by
twelve-years-old I had a full blown skin problem --- face, back,
chest --- so bad that when I would go to the beach I would lie on my
stomach because I did not want anybody to recognize who the pimple
was. And again, I asked my father what I should do and he replied,
"I told you last year. Take the preparation!" Again, being a
twelve-year-old adolescent, and being smarter than at eleven, I
decided to go with the latest stuff that my brother-in-law suggested
I use, and again, no results. Again, the skin problem worsened.
Then I started realizing what girls were and thought I better do
something about this. So, reluctantly, I began drinking my father's
Whole Body Tonic, Matonol, the preparation as he called it, and lo
and behold, in three months, no pimples --- in six months the skin
had repaired itself so drastically one could hardly know how bad a
skin condition I had had. So at thirteen-years-old I got smart! As a
matter of fact, I got so smart that I continued drinking the tonic
and have been drinking it, or a variation of it, for the last 52
plus years. (I am 65-years-old now).
I was enamored with the results and with the many benefits that I
was obtaining because I was drinking Matonol (tremendous energy;
tremendous focus; just a tremendous sense of well-being, happiness,
and positiveness.) Maybe this was because I was a youth growing up,
but I did not want to take a chance that it was not the preparation,
so I continued drinking it. And boy, was I in shape! But of course,
we ran around a lot, climbed trees, and rode our bicycles madly, and
swam everyday. (I was one of the fortunate ones to have a swimming
pool when I was six or seven years old.) But even without that, we
used to go to the beach every weekend and swim and run and play. And
eat good picnic food that my mother used to make --- all basically
organic and all the meat was basically clean meat.
What a life!! Maybe all of that had to do with my good health. As a
matter of fact, if every child could grow up like that, then every
child would be in pretty darn good health. They say now that a big
reason that children are unhealthy and are becoming more and more
overweight is that, for example (here is a Canadian statistic):
'The average child watches 26 hours of television each week;
two-thirds of school-age-children are not active enough for optimal
development; a number of factors influencing childhood obesity
include diet, a booming fast-food industry, the popularity of
electronic games and convenience products, and inadequate physical
activity.'
As I grew up and went through school it did not appear that many of
my pals, friends, and acquaintances were physically or mentally much
different that I was --- that difference really only began to appear
when I was about 30 or 35 years of age and then I and people around
could notice the difference in general health and well-being between
myself and other people the same age.
Mind you, I did not jump into the fast-food junk-food circle as many
of my friends did, so there is no doubt that that had a great part
to play, and of course, as I grew up, throughout my schooldays,
there were no foods prepared with hydrogenated oil, monosodium
glutamate, aspartame, and, of course, for some unknown reason, being
a pretty good cook, I never fell for the trick to use vegetable
shortening that is made from hydrogenated oils or using margarine in
place of butter that also is made from hydrogenated oils. (The
hydrogenated oils used in those products in the beginning and maybe
even today, were derived largely from cottonseed oil. Another
compelling reason to avoid vegetable shortening, is that just before
the harvest, the cottonseed plants are sprayed with strong
defoliating chemicals to make the leaves fall off so that it is
easier and cleaner to pick. I'm sure you, along with me, would hate
to know what those defoliating agents really are and how they can
affect your health negatively.)
Let's start eliminating harmful foods. In the meantime, read Dr.
Bruce Fife's articles appearing in our publication, JurakXpress.
Topics already covered include hydrogenated oil, fat-free foods, the
immune system, nutrition and good health, and the dangers of
aspartame. Please also read Dr. Bruce Fife's book "The Healing
Crisis", for more vital information about your health.
