SYMPTOMS In children: mental confusion, muscle wasting, impaired growth, convulsions, nausea, vomiting, stomach and intestinal problems, diarrhea, and constipation. In adults: weight loss, diarrhea, edema, fatigue. CAUSES: Beriberi is a nutritional disease, caused by a deficiency of thiamine (vitamin B1), but also all the other B complex vitamins, as well. Beriberi is not common in the West. In the East, where many subsist primarily on polished (hulled) rice, it is endemic. The rice bran contains the vitamins, and the polished kernel only contains starch and protein. In America, beriberi occurs as a result of alcoholism, hypothyroidism, pregnancy, infections, or stress. TREATMENT— • Eat brown rice, raw fruits and vegetables, seeds, nuts, legumes, and whole grains. • Take vitamin/mineral supplements. • Do not drink liquids with your meals, for this washes away water-soluble vitamins. ENCOURAGEMENT—All who give themselves to the service of Christ will follow the example of Christ, and will be perfect overcomers. In His strength, you can stand firm amid the pollutions of this degenerate age. Natural Cures, Home Remedies, Alternative Treatments http://www.naturalencyclopedia.com Powered by Joomla!
