Toxemia Explained-Enervation is General

[Guest guest]

Enervation Is General

EVERYBODY was surprised at the large

percentage of our young manhood plucked by the medical examining boards

during the

World War. To that surprise, add the one which the Philosophy of

Toxemia adds, and

thinking people should he appalled.

The examining boards passed all young

men who did not show a developed pathology; which meant all who did not

show some

change of organ or tissue--structural change.

When it is known that functional derangements

precede structural changes by months and even years, it should be quite

obvious that

there were more young men passed by the boards who were potentially ill

or unable

to carry on than were plucked. Time has proven this generally unknown

fact true;

for before the war was over ninety-five per cent of the American army

had received

hospital attention for sickness, other than injury, from one to five

times. And the

boys who did not get over to France died by the thousands from the

"flu."

What does this mean? It means that

life as it is lived causes the people generally to be enervated. And

when nerve-energy

drops below normal, the elimination of toxin--a natural product of

metabolism is

checked, and it is retained in the blood, bringing on Toxemia--the

first, last, and

only efficient cause of all so-called diseases.

It should be obvious to discerning,

minds that the amount of toxin in the blood must vary with each

individual, and that

the degree of resistance also must vary with each individual. An amount

would cause

a toxemic crisis in one would apparently have no effect on another. An

enervating

cause--the usual immunization--that would scarcely produce a reaction

at one time

in a given subject might send the same subject to a hospital at another

time, or

even be fatal instanter. Active anaphylaxis is the alibi or apology

of the pro-vaccinators;

but it does not change the fact that vaccines are poisons, even if

they are "pure,"

regardless of the iterated and reiterated protests that they are

innocent and harmless.

The amount of harm done the army by

vaccination and re-vaccination will never be known. No words can

describe the harm

that immunizing with vaccines and serums has done and is doing, except

wholesale

vandalism.

The average doctor cannot think, and

the others do not dare to think except conventionally out loud. I do

not know where

to place the men of the medical profession who are capable of thinking,

but who refuse

to allow reason to guide them in their thinking in the matter of

so-called immunization.

Can class-consciousness or class-bigotry explain? Surely knavishness is

unfit. It

has been said of me, because of my stand against the germ theory and

vaccination,

that I have "peculiar views;" by some, that I am "an ignoramus."

If I am, it is strange that fundamentally I find my thoughts and

beliefs running

parallel with one of the greatest thinkers of the nineteenth century--

the famous

English philosopher, Herbert Spencer. I was browsing in my library a

few days ago,

and picked up "Facts and Comments." I turned to "Vaccination,"

and in it found more worthwhile, constructive thought, in a short essay

of less than

three pages, than can be found in all medical literature on the same

subject. I have

decided to quote the whole essay, and I shall be pleased if others get

the mental

kick out of it that I have enjoyed:

"When once you interfere with the order of

nature, there is no knowing where the results will end," was the remark

made in my presence by a distinguished biologist. There immediately

escaped from him an expression of vexation at his lack of reticence;

for he saw the various uses I might make of the admission.

Jenner and his disciples have assumed that

when the vaccine virus has passed through a patient's system he is

safe, or comparatively safe, against smallpox, and that there the

matter ends. I will not here say anything for or against this

assumption.*

*Except, indeed, by quoting the statement

of a well-known man, Mr. Kegan , the publisher, respecting his own

experience.

In his "Memoirs" (pp. 260-61) he says, respecting his smallpox when

adult:

"I had had smallpox when a child, in spite of vaccination, and had been

vaccinated

but a short time before. I am the third of my own immediate family who

have had smallpox

twice, and with whom vaccination has always taken."

I merely propose to show that there the matter

does not end. The interference with the order of nature has various

sequences other than that counted upon. Some have been made known.

A Parliamentary Return issued in 1880 (No.

392) shows that, comparing the quinquennial periods 1847-1851 and

1874-1878, there was in the latter a diminution in the deaths from all

causes of infants under one year old of 6,600 per million births per

annum; while the mortality caused by eight specified diseases, either

directly communicable or exacerbated by the effects of vaccination,

increased from 20,524 to 41,353 per million births per annum--more than

double. It is clear that far more were killed by these other diseases

than were saved from smallpox.*

*This was in the days of arm-to-arm vaccination,

when medical men were certain that other diseases (syphilis, for

instance) could

not be communicated through the vaccine virus. Anyone who looks into

the Transactions

of the Epidemiological Society of some thirty years ago will kind that

they were

suddenly convinced to the contrary by a dreadful case of wholesale

syphilization.

In these days of calf-lymph vaccination, such dangers are excluded; not

that of bovine

tuberculosis, however. But I name the fact as showing what amount of

faith is to

be placed in medical opinion.

To the communication of diseases thus

demonstrated must be added accompanying effects. It is held that the

immunity produced by vaccination implies some change in the components

of the body--a necessary assumption. But now, if the substances

composing the body, solid or liquid or both, have been so modified as

to leave them no longer liable to smallpox, is the modification

otherwise inoperative? Will anyone dare to say that it produces no

further effect than that of shielding the patient from a particular

disease? You cannot change the constitution in relation to one invading

agent and leave it unchanged in regard to all other invading agents.

What must the change be? There are cases of unhealthy persons in whom a

serious disease, as typhoid fever, is followed by improved health. But

these are not normal cases; if they were, a healthy person would become

more healthy by having a succession of diseases. (Toxemia explains

this phenomena.--Ed.) Hence, as a constitution modified by

vaccination is not made more able to resist perturbing influences in

general, it must be made less able. Heat and cold and wet and

atmospheric changes tend ever to disturb the balance, as do also

various foods, excessive exertion, mental strain. We have no means of

measuring alterations in resisting power. and hence they commonly pass

unremarked. There are, however, evidences of a general relative

debility. Measles is a severer disease than it used to be, and deaths

from it are very numerous. Influenza yields proof. Sixty years ago,

when at long intervals an epidemic occurred, it seized but few, w as

not severe, and left no serious sequelae; now it is permanently

established, affects multitudes in extreme forms, and often leaves

damaged constitutions. The disease is the same, but there is less

ability to withstand it.

There are other significant facts. It is a

familiar biological truth that the organs of sense and the teeth arise

out of the dermal layer of the embryo. Hence abnormalities affect all

of them; blue-eyed cats are deaf, and hairless dogs have imperfect

teeth. ("Origin of Species," Chap. 1.) The like holds of constitutional

abnormalities caused by disease. Syphilis in its earlier stages is a

skin disease. When it is inherited, the effects are malformation of

teeth, and in later years iritis (inflammation of the iris.) Kindred

relations hold with other skin diseases; instance the fact that scarlet

fever is often accompanied by loosening of the teeth, and the fact that

with measles often go disorders--sometimes temporary, sometimes

permanent--of both eyes and ears. May it not be thus with another skin

disease--that which vaccination gives? If so, we have an explanation of

the frightful degeneracy of teeth among young people in recent times;

and we need not wonder at the prevalence of weak and defective eyes

among them. Be these suggestions true or not, one thing is certain: The

assumption that vaccination changes the constitution in relation to

smallpox, and does not otherwise change it, is sheer folly.

"When once you interfere with

the order of nature, there is no knowing where the results will end."

Interfering with the order of nature

is a vast subject--one without end; but nature "comes smiling through,"

except when overwhelmed. Health--good health--is a greater force than

bad--than every

interference--and can correct every evil effect that is not fatal, if

the influence

is removed.

Stimulants, continued over a long period,

cause a gradual deterioration, and finally, unless the habit is

stopped, end fatally.

Toxin is a stimulant and a natural product of metabolism. When the body

is normal,

the toxin is removed as fast as generated; but when any enervating

habit is practiced

beyond the power of recuperation, the toxin accumulates, and Toxemia is

established--which

means that the body has lost its protecting power. Now, if vaccine or

any infection

gains entrance into the blood, "there is no knowing where the effects

will end."

Toxemia throws light on this perplexing

point. When an infection takes place in a person with normal

resistance, creating

a vaceinia--a local skin inflammation--and pus-formation occurs, it

usually ends

with the healing of the abcess. If inoculation of smallpox virus is

made in the Jennerian

way, by inserting the virus subcutaneously--splitting the skin and

rubbing it in--violent

septic infection takes place, causing death in many cases. Laws were

passed in England

many years ago prohibiting this practice.

In toxemic subjects, a local infection

set up by the virus of sepsis from any source vaccination, a badly

cared-for injury,

a wound that fails to drain, an infected tooth, sinus, etc.--causes a

septic fever

of a malignant type, which is liable to end in death or in invalidism.

A system badly

enervated and toxemic, has little power to resist; and when the blood

is very toxemic,

it is very vulnerable to the influence of any infection.

Where the infection is not so malignant

as to overwhelm the system, due to the virulence of the infecting

agent, or to the

enervation and toxemic state being so great as to have destroyed

resistance, the

patient may rally from the crisis and get well under the proper

management. If, however,

the management is bad, the patient may linger in a state of

semi-invalidism for a

few months or years, and finally die.

Mr. Roosevelt's illness and taking-off

at least twenty-five years too soon was a pronounced type of such

derangement. The

great and forceful man was pronouncedly toxemic. He was injured, as

everybody knows,

on one of his trips into the jungles. Infection took place, which

probably would

have killed a less robust man. He returned home, and continued

enervating habits,

preventing his fine body from cleaning house.

Such cases can be brought back to the

normal, but never under conventional treatment.

When toxemic subjects are infected,

the infection will never be eliminated entirely until enervation and

Toxemia are

overcome. Unless patients of this character are put to bed and fasted

until elimination

is completed, then fed properly, and taught how to eat within their

limitations,

and unless they are willing to give up all enervating habits, there is

no hope of

their ever getting well. These subjects often develop tuberculosis,

Bright's disease,

and other lingering so- called diseases. Our federal hospitals are full

of young

men who will never get well; for Toxemia is developed faster than it is

thrown ok.

Scientific medicine is helpless.

Nature's order is interfered with by

enervating habits until Toxemia is established; then a vaccination, or

an infection

from any source, acts sooner or later as a firebrand in causing the

most vulnerable

organ to take on organic change. The organ, however, has nothing to do

with cause,

and directing treatment to the organ is compounding fallacy. Types of

such nonsense

are blood- transfusion for pernicious anemia; gland treatment for gland

impotency;

cutting out stones, ulcers, tumors, etc.

There is no question but that one of

the most pernicious practices in vogue today is treating socalled

disease with disease,

and immunizing with the products of disease.

One of the first things to do to get

rid of any so-called disease is to get rid of Toxemia; for it is this

state of the

blood that makes disease possible. Infection, drug-and food-poisoning

may kill; but

if they do not, they will be short-lived in a subject free frown

enervation and Toxemia.

Conversely, the poisoning will linger in the system until Toxemia is

overcome; then

elimination will remove all traces of infection.

Syphilitic infection in a pronouncedly

toxemic subject is thrown into great virulency by conventional

treatment. The infection

is the least offender of the trio. Add fear and wrong eating, and we

have a formidable

symptom-complex, justifying all that professional syphilomaniacs say

and write about

the disease. Remove Toxemia, drugging, fear, and vile eating, and there

is little

left. What there is can easily be thrown out by nature.

WE are builders of tomorrow, and we need not pay a fortune-teller--a

doctor, lawyer, preacher, banker--to tell us what will happen to us

tomorrow. "Nothing will happen. The inevitable will come. We shall

inherit the fruits of today's sowing.
