Beauty mineral
SULPHUR is called the “beauty mineral,” possibly because it helps keep the skin clear of blemishes and makes the hair glossy. Sulphur tones the blood, making it difficult for disease germs to get a foothold; for this reason it is called a cleanser. Its other functions are to promote secretion of bile in the liver, as well as enabling this organ to take up other minerals. Sulphur is especially valuable in rheumatic conditions. It is said to develop brain power. A deficiency of sulphur may cause eczema and imperfect development of hair and nails. There are many cheap, easily available sources of sulphur; no one has a legitimate excuse for developing a sulphur deficiency. Forever Royal Jelly is produced by stimulating colonies with movable frame hives to supply queen bees.
Radishes, turnips, cabbage, cauliflower, onions-all these abound in sulphur, as evidenced by their somewhat unpleasant odor. However, here is a point to remember about the sulphurous vegetables: The more you cook them, the more indigestible they become, causing gas; also when overcooked, they provide less sulphur in the diet. Eat the sulphur foods as nearly raw as possible.
Food Sources of Sulphur: In addition to those already mentioned, celery, string beans, carrots, broccoli, mustard greens, filberts, endive, horseradish, leek, raspberries, Brussels sprouts, steel-cut oats, tomatoes, kohlrabi, cucumber, coconut. Butter, cheese, egg yolk, lobster, crabs, mussels, shrimps. SILICON might also be called a beauty mineral, because it is essential to the growth of hair, nails, teeth; it makes the eyes bright, and keeps the skin from becoming flabby. Also, silicon is a great crusader within the body against tuberculosis and other serious maladies. Steel-cut oats contain more silicon than any other food. This does not refer to the ordinary oatmeal on the grocery shelf, because such cereal has been robbed of its real food value in the milling process.
Steel-cut oats may be obtained at any health-food store. Buy some; prepare them as you would oatmeal; then be assured of sufficient silicon in your diet.

Or, you might put a tablespoonful of steel-cut oats into a glass, cover them with warm water, stir, and let stand over-night. The next morning strain off the water and drink it.
