DEFINITION of Toxemia and crises of Toxemia:--In the process of tissue building--metabolism--there is cell building--anabolism--and cell destruction--catabolism. The broken down tissue is toxic and in health--when nerve energy is normal--it is eliminated from the blood as fast as evolved. When nerve energy is dissipated from any cause--physical or mental excitement or bad habits--the body becomes enervated, when enervated, elimination is checked, causing a retention of toxin in the blood or Toxemia. This accumulation of toxin when once established will continue until nerve energy is restored by removing the causes. So-called disease is nature's effort at eliminating the toxin from the blood. All so-called diseases are crises of Toxemia.
