36. Facial Bulge

A baby may start withholding his/her urinal pressure because of tight-napkins. At school-going ages, lack of toilet facility, lack of free time, dirty toilets, etc. can discourage the child from releasing his/her urinal pressure. Subsequently, the child will grow up getting used to under-urinating.

Frequently, school-going children avoid drinking water in order to avoid frequent urination.

All these will pave a way for the accumulation of excessive calcium within the body of the person.

Feeding babies with thick powder milk preparations form another equally important source of excessive calcium.

The soft tissues in the face (the chin) forms one of the best locations for such calcium storage. As a result, the face bulges to a great extent, giving it a round shape.

As the child grows up to become an adult, he/she will become obese, with a round face. Such a person will have all the problems that are associated with obesity.

A female will have breast lumps, cysts, fibroids, etc. Both genders will have stone diseases, thyroid problem, tumours, cancers, and the like.

The prevention/ cure rests in drinking increased quantities of distilled or rain water (l L distilled water + 1 L purified water, daily), increased urination – once every hour for about a month or so, along with “wet” and “dry facials” as described in my book on obesity.

It is important to remember that a moon-shaped face in a child (unless changed at an early date), is an indication of some future disaster.
