Crisis Follows Crisis

Crisis Follows Crisis

Just look at the NHS in the UK and the crisis they are in. look at your own hospitals in your own country, how do they look like? There is one reason for this disaster, and that is by the junk that people have been eating their whole life. If you are an older person, you didn't see all this sickness of the old people when you were young.

What is a self-limited disease? Disease is remedial effort. It is a process of purification and repair. When the process of compensatory elimination that is called disease, has reduced the toxemia to the toleration point, the symptoms subside spontaneously and the disease is said to be cured. But the patient is not well. He is still toxemic. The cause of the toxemia has not been removed.

The toxemia will again rise above the toleration point and another crisis will develop. Crisis will follow crisis until organic change takes place. Gastric ulcer, diabetes, Bright's disease, heart disease, diseases of the arteries or nerves, cancer, etc., follow in the wake of recurring crises.

PROGRESSIVELY MORE SERIOUS DISEASES

Instead of seeing in these changes a progressive pathological evolution of which cancer, diabetes, disease of the heart and arteries etc., are but end-points - the wisdom of all the ages of medical science is expended in a herculean effort to prove that established pathology is its own cause. On the day that medical savants succeed in lifting themselves by their own boot-straps, they will also succeed in proving that pathology is its own cause.

ANYTHING CAN BE A "CURE"

Here in this land of so-called self-limited diseases is where all the curing methods and systems shine. Just as anything and everything seems to cure a cold, so anything and everything that may be used with which to treat the patient suffering with measles or pneumonia or gonorrhea, etc., will appear to cure. Here in the realm of "self-limited" disease the regular and the irregular cults, the faddists and the mountebanks, every phase of the curing system from the erudite professor to the most stupid lout prove the virtues of their cures. In this every-doctor's land grandma's cataplasms cure, grand-pa's brass-ring cure for rheumatism cures, the rabbit-foot charm and buckeye for piles cure, penicillin cures pneumonia and anti toxin cures diphtheria, the punch in the back cures measles and the herb tea cures gastritis All cures are successful in this grand jamboree of "self-limited" crises. Christian Science and prayer are as effective as the most scientific treatment. The prayer may be, as in Africa, directed to a petrified frog - no matter, it cures.

ACUTE DISEASE - TOXEMIC CRISIS

Our toxemic crises - so-called acute diseases - keep pace with the ebb and flow of toxemia as our habits of living hold this down within the limits of toleration or increase it above the established limits. Toleration is a state of chronic disease, a state, for example in which chronic catarrh, is continuously active throwing off toxins. Acute diseases are intermittent due to the fact that toxemia is pushed above the point of established toleration only intermittently. Chronic disease means chronic provocation. To point this differently: disease begins where cause begins and persists where cause persists.

"REST" IS THE SOLUTION

Nothing so effectively hastens the elimination of toxemia and the recuperation of nerve energy as mental, physical and physiological rest. Only through rest can the enervated body muster sufficient nerve energy with which to increase its work of elimination. By physiological rest is meant fasting, or abstinence from all food except water. Once fasting and rest have enabled the body to eliminate its stored up toxins and recuperate its nerve energy, a physiological mode of living will enable the patient to grow into better and better health until full health is reached, and to maintain health thereafter.

Such a program of physiological living is not made up exclusively of a plan of eating. Proper diet is extremely important, but it does not constitute a complete way of life. All of man's life must be live in harmony with simple, well-defined laws of nature. Exercise, fresh air, sun-shine, sufficient rest and sleep, a wholesome sex life, a cheerful and poised mental attitude, and consistent avoidance of all devitalizing habits are of equal importance with diet. One cannot maintain health, no matter what his diet, if he is practicing enervating habits and denying his body the benefits of sunshine, fresh air and exercise.

Coffee, tea, tobacco, alcohol, poisoned soft-drinks, and other poison-habits will wreck the strongest man, no matter what his diet

CHRONIC DISEASE - "OLD AGE"

If toxemia is not eliminated, if nerve energy is not restored to normal, if the causes of enervation are not removed and corrected, there can be no genuine return to health. There can be only a recession of symptoms after these have reduced the accumulated toxemia to the toleration point, perhaps slightly below, and a state of comparative comfort is again established. This state represents a very low state of health, a state of chronic toxemic saturation. In this state, despite recurring crises, there is the slow, progressive development of the many and varied forms of chronic and degenerative pathologies, not the least of which is that condition of organismal enfeeblement, impairment and decline, which we call old age.

BACTERIA AND EPIDEMICS

What about bacteria and epidemics? First, there must be a changed condition of the body's fluids and tissues, giving rise to that systemic impairment that is designated "susceptibility" or 'lowered resistance."

Once you grasp the fact that all had habits lead to toxemia, it will not be difficult for you to grasp the idea that this perversion of the fluids and tissues must take place before it is possible for bacteria, which are nature's reducing forces, to make any further changes in these materials.

Assuming that the scavenger work done by bacteria under these conditions actually complicates the disease, they cannot be the primary cause of disease, nor of any epidemic.

Epidemics of any proportion follow in the wake of some mass prostrating influence - war, prolonged dry, hot weather; prolonged wet, cold weather; sudden changes of temperature, etc. - that further enervate an already a most prostrated and greatly toxemic part of the population. The sudden rise in toxemia thus occasioned necessitates the development of a crisis to throw it off. Mass sickness follows mass prostrating influences.

The evil results of the poisoning are all around us. Few if any, enjoy good health. Until man abandons the ancient superstition that he can be poisoned into good health and learns to rely upon the normal, wholesome things of life, this will continue to be so. Poisonous pills, powders and potions, pathological products of animal suffering and the knives and saws of the surgeon are poor materials out of which to synthesize health.
