The Causes of Enervation
Retrospection
Poise
THE state or quality of being balanced.
Figuratively, equanimity; repose.
Equanimity--Evenness of mind
or temper; composure; calmness. (Standard Dictionary.)
I presume that, to be technically poised,
we should be anatomically, physiologically, and chemically balanced; but, as asymmetry
is the rule, we cannot hope to be balanced. We can, however, strive for equanimity--evenness
of mind and temper.
Contentment comes with striving, not
with possession. Apparently this is not always true; for we see people very dissatisfied
and unhappy who are busy.
Someone has said: "Blessed is
the man who has found work." This means that he is fully occupied and contented
with his work, not its emoluments. No man is satisfied with work that has nothing
in it but the dollars he gets out of it. Nothing but creative work satisfies the
mind.
What is there in it? Advancement, self-development,
and a chance in the future to do good are about as little as will satisfy ambition.
To make for contentment, the work must
occupy and satisfy the mind. Idle minds are dissatisfied minds. If asked what prescription
I would give children to secure their future happiness, I would say: Teach then to
love work! work! work! We have overworked the old saying: "All work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy." Now it is reversed to: '`All play and no work makes
Jack a bandit. '
If parents cannot keep children busy,
the city, county, or state should furnish work--not in industrial schools, but the
work that is best suited to each child. A child must be busy. Christ got busy at
twelve years of age and earlier. We must be busy.
As I said, contentment comes with striving,
not with possession. This is a law of psychology as l well as of physics. We should
be happy that we are not contented; for; if we were, we should not have anything
to overcome--no reason for striving--and, of course, fail to enjoy the work and labor
of attaining.
"Man never is, but always to
be blest. (Pope.)" Because Pope made that statement, it should not be taken
too seriously. I have found many people blest who did not know it. There are more
blessings in disguise than are found in the limelight. One of the commonest blessings
of mankind is that about ninety-nine per cent of our wants we never realize. If most
people could cut out time as often as they wish, their lives would be greatly shortened:
"I wish it were this time next year." "I wish now were ten years from
now; I should then be through college and established in business."
The disposition of most people is to
seek abridgement. Nature abhors a vacuum, and that is what abridgements are. "Get-Rich-Quick
Wallingford" is the ideal of all.
Short-cuts to success; a salesmanship
that means coercing the vacillating--those of weak will, those who can be persuaded
to buy prematurely, those who do not know their own minds; in short, inducing people
to buy what they do not need and cannot afford is called good salesmanship. What
is the matter with the people today? General indebtedness. The sales-people have
made more than they know how to spend wisely on themselves--they do not know how
to fill their vacuums. Those who have been persuaded to run in high when they should
have stayed in low--or, what would have been better, continued to ride a bicycle
or remained on foot--are distressed because of premature supply. Both extremes lack
poise, and build restlessness and dissatisfaction. The automobile is a necessity;
but it has been forced into a luxury that has far outrun necessity. It has built
great fortunes at one end, and marked poverty at the other end, that will create
a financial disease called panic, unless remedied soon. Panic is another name for
a vacuum which will be filled with much unhappiness. A prediction of five years ago.
Getting through school without filling
in the time well, by short-cuts, ponies, and favoritism, builds vacuity. Time and
honest labor are necessary for building character, education, and ability in any
and all lines. In the physical as well as in the mental world the old Latin apothegm
applies: Cito maturum, cito putridum--"Soon ripe, soon rotten."
Athletes die early. Why? Development is forced. Excessive use of the muscular system
forces an extra supply of blood to the muscles. This in turn forces an extra supply
of food to meet the demand of waste and supply. Overstimulation enervates, and the
toxin fails to be carried out as rapidly as formed; hence Toxemia is established,
which gradually brings on degeneration of heart and blood-vessels. "No chain
is stronger than its weakest link." In athletics' the strongest links are in
constant use for all the strength they have. The stability that youth gives tissue
is rapidly ageing, with the result that the athlete dies of senility in youth. Fitzsimmons
was called the "grand old man of the ring" at thirty-five. In this saying,
which was meant to be a compliment to the king of athletes, was an expression of
scientific knowledge beyond understanding in the sporting world--subconsciously building
better than they knew; for in reality he had aged himself by stressing his body.
Youth wants to move faster than good,
substantial growth justifies. Young professional men are in hot-haste to succeed
their predecessors, always confident that they can do more than fill their places.
Today inexperience is hot-footing civilization
to a quick maturity, and obviously to a premature end. Hot-haste has ill-prepared
even those with age to be safe advisers. Knowledge not seasoned by time, experience,
and poise never matures.
Poise and equanimity have become meaningless
terms in this age. The elements of success which make for ideal maturity are lacking
in the welding influence of time and experience. Thc present-day mind is athletic;
it is prematurely aged at the expense of time, which is required for stabilizing.
Hospitals, penitentiaries, and insane asylums cannot be built fast enough to accommodate
the prematurely senile. That is what disease is--old-age tissue outrunning the supply
of new.
Too many abridgments, from the kindergarten
to the high school and on through college, leave vacuums to be filled by the lies
of civilization, and the disease and unhappiness that false knowledge and immature
judgment bring.
Personal peculiarities, affectations,
and petty habits of all kinds are boomerangs that return to poison life's sweet dreams.
Nature smiles on those who are natural;
but those who persist in grimacing, mentally or physically, she joins in a conspiracy
to distort them at their pleasure. We can be happy and contented, or we can be unhappy
and discontented. We can make our choice, and nature will do the rest.
I just came from a drug-store into
which I had stepped to purchase a tube of camphor ice. The druggist fumbled, and,
being self-conscious, his self-pity made it necessary for him to say that he was
feeling bad and had been lying down most of the afternoon. He accompanied his remarks
with a sick grimace of his features and a bodily expression of weakness. He, no doubt,
would have enjoyed discussing his discomforts with me, but I ignored the subject
and passed out. He is cultivating a sick habit that will spoil his life and make
of him a bore to all except those who frequent his shop hunting cures. "Misery
loves company." People with the sick habit flock together, and never appear
to tire recounting and comparing their discomforts. The most insignificant symptoms
are retained in memory for years. Self-pity causes them to exaggerate, and in time
they believe the worst possible about themselves. Such a life is ruined, unless complete
reformation is made. This state of mind brings on enervation and Toxemia. The symptoms
are a general nervousness, indigestion, constipation, coated tongue, anxiety concerning
cancer or some other malady that may prove fatal. The muscular system is more or
less tensed. The constipation is accompanied by an abnormal contraction of the rectum.
The entire body is abnormally tense. Such patients have difficulty in going to sleep,
and when they are about to drop off to sleep they are awakened with a jerk--a violent
contraction of all the muscles. These people are light sleepers, and complain that
they do not sleep at all. A few complain of headache and nausea. They are imitators,
and often develop new symptoms after reading about disease or listening to others
relating their symptoms.
Many of these cases of neurosis are
operated upon for various supposed abdominal derangements. Too often doctors treat
such people for what they say is the matter with them. Occasionally we find self-sacrificing,
amiable women who are never robust, but who live and work beyond their strength for
others. These mothers in early life had ambitions for a career, and the disappointment
brought on a profound enervation, permanently impairing nutrition; for the one great
sorrow prevented a full return to normal. Fortunately, surcease was found in doing
for others; and in time making others happy became a vicarious nepenthe so perfect
that those whom they soothed with their sweet smiles and cheering words often said:
"Aunt Mary, you must have lived a charmed life in which no sorrow ever entered."
The answer would be more smiles and encouragement.
Those who find a life of service to
take the place of ambition's jilts have made no mistake in the selection of the Great
Physician; but those who seek cures outside of self are hunting cures in a Fool's
Paradise.
Cures! There are no cures. The subconscious
builds health or disease according to our order. If we send impulses of irritation,
discontent, unhappiness, complaining, hate, envy, selfishness, greed, lust, etc.,
the subconscious builds us in the image of our order.
If we send to the subconscious sensual
impulses, our order is returned to us blear-eyed, with swollen features, headaches,
bad breath, pain here, pain there, blurred intellect, carelessness in business, of
friends, and of self. We interpret our state of disease, and send for a doctor, who
finds albumin in the urine, rheumatism in the joints, a leaky heart, threatened apoplexy,
dropsy, et alii. We take his dope, his operations, his immunizations; but we continue
to send sensual impulses-- big dinners, strong cigars, lascivious indulgences. The
doctor does no good. Another and another is sent for. Skillful examinations are given.
Syphilis is found. Synthetic drugs are prescribed. Other doctors examine, who find
tuberculosis. And at last real skill is discovered in a physician who finds cancer.
But all the time our orders are going to the subconscious, and the returns are made
faithfully in the image of their maker.
The truth is that we are not needing
a doctor at all. We need a physician who will erect a reconciliation between our
subconscious maker and ourselves. What we need is to be taught self-control, poise)
equanimity, repose. And when these impulses are sent over the sympathetic nerves
to our subconscious maker, we shall begin to receive images of a more man, until
an approach to perfection is attained.
Self-control, with an ideal of just
the kind of person we should like to be held before the subconscious all the time,
will be returned to us just as we order. We are made in the image of the ideal we
hold before our maker--the subconscious. We must live it, however. Simply holding
an ideal will not get us anywhere. If our ideal is for sobriety, getting drunk will
not bring our dreams true. If our ideal is for perfect health, we certainly cannot
expect a sensual life to build it.
We may have an ideal image, but if
we do not live it, a distortion will be created.
A disgruntled, complaining habit, builds
that kind of an individual.
If we refuse to live composed, poised,
and relaxed, we become tense and build discomfort. A contracted brow builds headache.
A tense, fixed state of the muscular system brings on muscle-fatigue, which may be
treated as neuralgia, neuritis, or rheumatism. A slight injury to any part of the
body, coddled, nursed, and kept without motion, may start a fixation of the muscles,
causing more pain from muscle-fatigue than from the injury.
Enough neurotics have been relieved
and cured of muscle-fatigue to put two schools of spine manipulators in good standing
with the people.
All through the ages mountebanks, magnetic
healers, and various cults of "laying on of hands" have worked among people
who had time to nurse a slight injury into a very large fatigue disease. Fortunes
have been made out of vile-smelling liniments because of the supposed cures made
by rubbing the dope on sprained backs and joints. The same cures could have been
made by simply rubbing the parts; but the minds that go with spineless people, who
have time to wait for miraculous cures, could not be made to believe that a cure
could be excreted without that mysterious healing property associated with evil-looking
and vile-smelling medicaments.
A sensitive, insignificant pile tumor
may set up such a tense state of the entire muscular system as to render the subject
a confirmed invalid. Such a case became a patient of mine a few weeks ago. On examination,
I found an extreme contraction of the sphincter muscles. His entire body was tense,
and, of course, he had muscle-fatigue, which caused him to believe that he was a
very sick man. I had him lie down, and I taught him how to relax; then I introduced
a finger into his rectum--very slowly, to avoid giving pain as much as possible.
I was about thirty minutes bringing relaxation of the anal muscles. While manipulating,
I was advising relaxation of his body. Before he left my office he declared that
he felt better than he had for two years, notwithstanding the fact he had been in
a hospital and otherwise treated most of that time. I gave him instructions on how
to poise, how to manipulate the rectum and anus. All his stomach troubles, and discomforts
generally, passed away in a week.
I have seen many invalids of nervous
type who had been treated by many doctors and for many diseases. Tension of the entire
body was one of the pronounced symptoms, and health could not be brought back until
this habit was overcome.
The discomforts complained of by those
who have tumor of the womb, goiter, cystitis, stomach and bowel derangements, rest
largely on a basis of nervous tension, which must be overcome before comfort and
full health will return.
Position in standing, walking, sitting,
and lying down may be such as to cause tension. We have occupational diseases and
emotional diseases; and lack of poise complicates all of these so-called diseases
and brings on tension.
Children are prone to become nervous
and excited when tired. When allowed to eat heartily, when excited and tired, they
have indigestion. Extreme cases develop convulsions. Fear and anxiety are two elements
that lead on to chorea.
Poise of mind and body should receive
attention early as well as late in life.
Good health late in life indicates
self-control, moderation in all things, and equanimity--poise.
Moderation does not mean the same to
all people. Some men call three to six cigars a day moderate indulgence; others believe
that one to six a month is temperate. Those who have an irritable heart and stomach
are immoderate when they use tobacco at all.
Fortunate is the person who knows his
limitations and respects them. Of such a person it may be said that he is poised.
IMMUNIZATION
Wouldn't it be incongruous if in the
evolution of man such an important element as autoimmunization should be left out.
No animal has been forgotten in the great scheme of creation. Powers of offense and
defense have been wisely provided, and to suppose that king of all animals--man--should
be left defenseless is most absurd. No, man is provided with a nervous system, at
the head of which is a brain capable of thinking, which can come to the aid of a
flagging nervous system and help to renew it.
When the nervous system is normal--when
there is full nerve-energy--man is normal and immune to disease. Disease begins to
manifest only when environments and personal habits use up energy faster than it
is renewed. This contingency the properly educated mind begins to remedy at once
by removing or overcoming all enervating influences.
Man's immunization to disease requires
a life so well ordered that his nerve-energy is kept at or near normal. When nerve-energy
is prodigally squandered, he is forced into a state of enervation; then elimination
of the waste-products is checked, leaving the waste--toxin--in the blood, causing
Toxemia self-poisoning--the first, last and only true disease that man is heir to.
All other poisons are accidental and evanescent, and without Toxemia can have no
entree to the system. Poisons may be swallowed, injected or inoculated into the body
and poison or even kill; but such an experience is not to be classed as disease,
any more than a broken leg or a gunshot wound.
Toxin is a normal, natural product
of the system, always present. Being a constant, it answers every requirement for
a universal cause of all so-called diseases. All the different symptom-complexes,
which are given special names, take their names frown the organs involved in the
toxin crisis; but they are not individual--they are only symptoms of vicarious elimination.
For example: Tonsilitis, gastritis, bronchitis, pneumonia, colonitis, are each and
every one Toxemic crises, differing only in location and symptoms. So-called diseases
are just so many different locations where toxin is being eliminated. All are different
manifestations of one disease Toxemia.
Toxemia is the only explanation of
why so many young men were refused by the examining boards during the late war. Many
were sent over to France who soon found the hospitals for they were near the limit
of their toxin-resistance. The excitement used up their nerve-energy. The enervation
was quickly followed by Toxemia. Their sicknesses were given names, but the truth
was that they had Toxemia, and their diseases were crises of Toxemia, which means
vicarious elimination.
After the numerous vaccinations to
which the boys were subjected on entering the army, probably fear or apprehension
was next in order of enervating influences.
DIAGNOSIS A MEDICAL DELUSION
Diagnosing according to modern medical
science is a scheme of symptomatology that means nothing except a guide in discovering
organic change--pathological change; and if no change or pathology is found, the
case is sent home, with the advice to return again in a few months; or perhaps it
will be kept under observation for a while. Even cases presenting pathological changes,
such as we see in rheumatic arthritis, I have known of being sent home for six months,
because no point of infection could lee found. The patient would be sent away with
the statement: "After a thorough examination, we cannot find the cause of your
disease. Come back in about six months, and it may be showing up in that time."
So much for the influence that focal infection has on the mind of the profession.
Suppose infected teeth were found. or sinus infection, what of it? What causes the
teeth and sinuses to be infected? Why is rheumatism a symptom of infection, and the
focal infections not a symptom of rheumatism?
The truth is that rheumatism, infected
teeth, and sinus infections, as well as every other pathology found in the body,
are effects. Symptoms without lesions represent functional derangements which have
not been repeated long enough or often enough to cause organic change. If, as diagnosis
goes, the cause is to be found in the disease, at what stage are we to look for it?
Is it at the beginning, or in the fully developed organic change, or in the dead
man? Mackenzie believed that it should be looked for at the very beginning, which
meant with him the earliest change. He believed that an intensive study at this stage
would discover cause. This was a mistaken idea of his, which is proved by the fact
that the cause of rheumatism and cancer cannot be found early or late, and that those
who believe germs cause disease cannot find them until pathology is found. It appears
to me, after being in the game for over fifty years, that a plan which has received
so much labor without reward should be abandoned.
Diagnosis is so fraught with the element
of uncertainty that no reliance can be placed upon it.
Research occupies an army of laboratory
experts in hunting the cause of disease, and also cures. They are doomed to fail;
for how is it possible to find cause in effects?
The specialist is so limited in his
knowledge of the philosophy of health and disease that he becomes deluded on the
subject; and this delusion often causes him to see meningitis, appendicitis, ovaritis--or
any disease that happens to be the subject of his specialty--in every case brought
to him. As a matter of fact, most attacks of disease of any and all kinds get well,
whether treated or not, if they have not passed from functional to organic.
This statement needs a little explanation.
It is said that eighty per cent who fall sick get well, or could get well without
the aid of a doctor. All so-called attacks of disease of whatever kind are crises
of Toxemia, which means vicarious elimination of Toxin that has accumulated above
the saturation (toleration) point. These crises may be symptoms which we call cold,
"flu," tonsilitis, gastritis, headache, or some other light malady. They
come today and are gone in a few days. If treated, we say they were cured. If they
are not treated, we say they got well without treatment. The truth is that the surplus
toxin--the amount accumulated above the point which can be maintained with comfort--is
eliminated, and comfort returns. This is not a cure; it is one of nature's palliations.
When the cause or causes of enervation are discovered and removed, the nerve-energy
returns to normal. Elimination removes toxin as fast as developed by metabolism.
This is health--this is all there is to any cure. In a few words: Stop all enervating
habits; stop eating; rest until nerve-energy is restored to normal. When this is
accomplished the patient is cured. A short or long fast is beneficial to most sick
people. Those who are afraid of fasting should not fast. All other so-called cures
are a delusion, and at the most a passing palliation; but enough such cures are performed
daily to keep a large army of doctors and cultists in bread, butter, and a degree
of respectability. The cured patients, however, glacier-like, move steadily down
to the river Styx --thousands and thousands of them years before their time, many
even before their prime, and all maintaining a false belief concerning what disease
is, and a more foolish notion concerning cures.
TOXEMIA SIMPLIFIES THE
UNDERSTANDING OF DISEASE
When a child shows symptoms of high
fever, pain, and vomiting, what is the disease? It may be indigestion frown overeating
or eating improper food. It may be the beginning of gastritis, scarlet fever, diphtheria,
meningitis, infantile paralysis, of some other so-called disease. The treatment,
according to the Philosophy of Toxemia, may be positive and given with confidence.
There need be no waiting for developments, no guessing, no mistakes. What is done
is the correct treatment for any so-called disease, named or not named. Get rid of
the exciting causes, whatever they are. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred the stomach
and bowels are full of undigested foods. Wash out the bowels, and get rid of this
source of infection. Then give a hot bath of sufficient duration to furnish complete
relief from any pain. When discomfort returns, give another bath. Use an enema every
day, and twice daily if symptoms demand.
So long as there is fever, rest assured
that the bowels are not cleaned out. Provide plenty of fresh air and water, and keep
the patient quiet. See to it that nothing but water goes into the stomach until the
fever and discomfort are entirely overcome; then give very light food at first.
A child that is given meat and eggs
and an excess of milk is liable to develop putrefactive diseases. It is doubtful
(and I believe impossible) if any child brought up on fruit, whole wheat and other
grains, and vegetables can ever evolve diphtheria, scarlet fever, or smallpox, or
develop septic fever--typhoid.
The methods of the regular practice
of medicine are in keeping with the habits of body and mind that lead to malignant
disease, epidemics, etc. As a man thinketh, so is he.
The regular profession believes in
antitoxin, vaccine, and autogenous remedies; and these remedies fit the psychology
of a mode of living that leads to vicious types of disease.
Most people are in sympathy with impossible
cures--cures without removing causes.
All so-called cures will some day be
proved a delusion. Remember that children will not be sick if they are not toxemic.
Let the local manifestations be what they may, the basic cause is always the same--Toxemia
plus septic infection; and if this state is not added to by food, cases treated in
this way will be aborted--jugulated, if you please. Doctors who have seen only regular
practice will declare that the cases recovering in this manner are irregular and
lacking in intensity. Of course, they are not typical; for they have not been complicated
with fear and disease-building treatment.
Doctors will say: "Suppose it
is a case of diphtheria? Antitoxin should be used, for it is a specific." What
is diphtheria? A toxemic subject with gastro-intestinal catarrh becomes infected
from decomposition of animal food eaten in excess of digestive powers. The symptoms
are those of tonsilitis, showing a grayish exudite covering the tonsils or other
parts of the throat, accompanied by a disagreeable, pungent, fetid breath. There
is great prostration. Subjects developing these symptoms have been living haphazardly.
Their eating has been too largely of animal foods and starch--the conventional mixtures--and
devoid of raw vegetables and fruit. The only animal food may be milk, and the patient
a young child. There have been running before, for a longer or shorter term, gastric
irritation, constipation, perhaps several gastric attacks--acute indigestion.
In some cases the physical state is
so vicious that a severe development of gastro-intestinal putrefaction may end fatally
in from one to three days. These are the cases supposed to be overwhelmed by the
diphtheritic toxin, which means an acute protein-poisoning--intestinal putrefaction--in
a subject already greatly enervated and toxemic.
ACUTE MALIGNANCY DEFINED
Malignancy occurs in toxemic subjects
who have been carrying continuously a state of gastrointestinal indigestion from
a surfeit of food, in which animal substances, possibly only milk, predominated.
The entire organism is more or less infected by the protein decomposition. A feast-day
comes along; an excess produces a crisis; and the organism, which is enervated and
toxemic to the point of no resistance, is overwhelmed by septic poisoning.
WHAT CAUSES FATALITY
Fatal cases in all epidemics are food-drunkards
who are very much enervated, toxemic and infected from putrescence in the bowels.
It is a crime to feed anything to the
sick. No food should be given until all symptoms are gone; then fruit and vegetable
juices (never any animal foods not for weeks). A hot bath should be administered
three times daily. Wash out the bowels by enemas every few hours, until all putrescent
debris is throughly cleared out; and, when possible, give a gastric ravage daily,
until the stomach and bowels are thoroughly cleared of all putrescence. The life
of the patient depends upon getting rid of the putrid food still remaining in the
bowels, before enough putrescence is absorbed to cause death. All epidemic diseases
are wholesale food-poisonings among people who are pronouncedly enervated and toxemic.
The poisoning by food is on the order of poisoning by chemicals. Those who have least
resistance (are most enervated and toxemic) suffer most and succumb the easiest;
for the poisoning brings on a crisis of Toxemia, and the two nerve-destroying influences
overwhelm the reduced resistance, and may end in death unless wisely treated. All
acute diseases are gastro-intestinal infections acting on toxemic subjects. The more
enervated and toxemic the subject, the more severe the crisis. Certainly anyone with
intelligence should see the danger in giving food when the exciting cause of the
disease is food-poisoning.
Keep the patient warm and quiet, and
in good air. More treatment is meddlesome. Getting rid of putrefaction is most important.
Such diseases develop only in those of pronounced enervation and toxemic, and those
of very bad eating habits.
TO SUM UP
To sum up briefly the difference between
the toxemic methods and "regular medicine": Toxemia is a system based on
the true cause of disease--namely Toxemia. Before Toxemia is developed, natural
immunization protects from germs, parasites, and all physical vicissitudes.
Toxin is a by-product as constant and
necessary as life itself. When the organism is normal, it is produced and eliminated
as fast as produced. From the point of production to the point of elimination, it
is carried by the blood; hence at no time is the organism free from toxin in the
blood. In a normal amount it is gently stimulating; but when the organism is enervated,
elimination is checked. Then the amount retained becomes overstimulating--toxic--ranging
from a slight excess to an amount so profound as to overwhelm life.
The treatment is so simple that it
staggers those who believe in curing. Heroic treatment is disease-building. Find
in what way nerve-energy is wasted, and stop it--stop all nerve-leaks. Then returning
to normal is a matter of time, in which nature attends to all repairs herself. And
she resents help--medical officiousness.
In writing and giving advice, I often
make the mistake of taking for granted that the consultant understands what I have
in mind. Why should he, when I have not given oral or written expression to my meaning?
In the matter of stopping nerve-leaks,
it is easy for me to say: "Find out in what way nerve-energy is wasted, and
stop it--stop all nerve-leaks," etc. I am appalled at my stupidity in saying
to a patient to stop enervating himself, and allowing the matter to end by naming
one or two gross enervating habits; for example: Stop worry; stop smoking; stop stimulants;
control your temper; stop eating too rapidly; stop allowing yourself to become excited.
Stopping one enervating habit benefits; but dependable health brooks no enervating
habits at all.
