Unseen influences: sugar and factory food are our enemies

Dick Sutphen in his book Unseen Influences lists sugar and the cumulative effects of food additives such as artificial flavourings, colourings and preservatives among the unseen influences that adversely affect our lives. 

I strongly agree with him: cutting down on these things has resulted in an improvement in the way I feel. 

I was made addicted to sweets from an early age: I was not always given enough food, and what I got was mostly not very nutritious, but I was always given plenty of sweets. 

Without realising it, I suffered from low blood sugar for much of my life. 

It is interesting that the astrologer and esoteric philosopher Dr Douglas Baker said something about low blood sugar being an occupational hazard for people who are involved with esoteric subjects.

I have a vague memory of reading something about some people who contacted the spirit world via an Ouija board and were told by discarnate entities to eat a lot of sugar. This sounds sinister; it would lower people’s resistance and make them more open to malign influences.

A time came when I tried to improve my health. I lived for a while on plain, mostly unprocessed, food, partly in an attempt to simplify my life and partly to save money.
