LESSON 1.
Every disease, no matter what name it is known by Medical
Science, is
A clogging up of the entire pipe system of
the human body. Any special symptom is therefore merely an
extraordinary local constipation by more accumulated mucus
at this particular place. Special accumulation points are
the tongue, the stomach and particularly the entire digestive
tract. This last is the real and deeper cause of bowel constipation.
The average person has as much as ten pounds of uneliminated
feces in the bowels continually, poisoning the blood stream
and the entire system. Think of it!
My "Mucus Theory" and "Mucusless
Diet Healing System" stand unshaken; it has proven the
most successful "Compensation-Action" so-called cure
against every kind of disease. By its systematic application
thousands of declared-incurable patients could be saved.
The Mucusless Fasting Diet consists
of all kinds of raw foods, raw and cooked fruits, starchless
vegetables, and cooked or raw, mostly green-leaf vegetables.
The Mucusless Diet Healing System is a combination
of individually advised long or short fasts, with progressively
changing menus of non-Mucus-Forming Foods. This diet alone
can heal every case of "disease" without fasting, although
such a cure requires longer time. The System itself
will be expounded in later lessons.
However, to learn how to apply the system,
to understand how and why it works, it is necessary to free
your mind from Medical errors, partly taken over by Naturopathy.
In other words, I must teach you a new Physiology,
free from Medical errors; a new method of Diagnosis;
a correction of the Fundamental errors of Metabolism,
high Protein foods, Blood circulation, Blood composition,
and last, but not least, you must be taught
What Vitality Really Is
To Medical Science the human body is still
a mystery, especially in diseased condition. Every new disease
"discovered" by the doctors is a new mystery for them. There
are no words to properly express how far from the truth they
actually are! Naturopathy uses the word Vitality continually,
yet neither "Medical Scientists" nor Naturopaths can tell
what Vitality is. . . .
Disease is an effort of the body to eliminate
waste, mucus and toxemias, and this system assists Nature,
in the most perfect and natural way. Not the disease but the
body is to be healed; it must be cleansed, freed from waste
and foreign matter, from mucus and toxemias accumulated since
childhood. You cannot buy health in a bottle, you cannot heal
your body, that is, cleanse your system in a few days, you
must make "compensation" for the wrong you have done your
body all during your life.
My system is not a cure or a remedy, it is
a regeneration, a thorough house-cleaning, the acquisition
of such clean and perfect health as you never knew before.
Remember: Your constitutional encumbrances
throughout the entire system are the source of every disease
. . .
In Summa: The human mechanism
is an elastic pipe system. The diet of civilization is
never entirely digested and the resultant waste eliminated.
This entire pipe system is slowly constipated, especially
at the place of the symptom and the digestive tract. This
is the foundation of every disease. To loosen this waste,
eliminate it intelligently and thoroughly, and to control
this elimination can only be done perfectly by the
***** MUCUSLESS-DIET HEALING SYSTEM *****
LESSON III.
My diagnosis determines the following points
- The relative amount of encumbrance in the system.
- The predominant part, that is, whether more mucus or more
poisons.
- If pus is present in the system, amount and kind of drugs
used.
- If internal tissue or an organ is in a process of decomposition.
- How far vitality is lowered.
You will also learn thru experience and observations
along these lines that the general appearance, especially
the face of the patient will indicate more or less the internal
conditions. After gaining this experience, self diagnosis
will become possible.
Diagnosis
(Continued) LESSON IV.
The Experimental Diagnosis
THE MOST EXACT, UNERRING DIAGNOSIS WE HAVE
IS A SHORT FAST.
Any inside special "constipated" place is located
by a light pain there.
This then is the PROGNOSIS OF DISEASE.
The
Formula of Life The Secret of Vitality
LESSON V.
"V" = "P" - "O" ("V" equals "P" minus "O")
is the formula of life -- and yet at the same time you may
call it the formula of death.
"V" stands for VITALITY.
"P," or call it "X," the unknown quantity
in this question, is the POWER that drives the human
machinery which keeps you alive, which gives you strength
and efficiency, endurance for as yet an unknown length of
time without food!
"O" means OBSTRUCTION, encumbrance,
foreign matters, toxemias, mucus; in short, all internal impurities
which obstruct the circulation, the function of internal organs
especially, and the human engine in its entire functioning
system.
You can therefore see thru this equation that
as soon as "O" becomes greater than "P" the human machine
must come to a standstill.
The engineer can figure exactly "E = P - F,"
meaning that the amount of energy or efficiency "E" he secures
from an engine is not equal to the power "P" without first
deducting "F," the friction. . . .
The next fact is that its [the lungs'] function
is that of a pump by air-pressure, and with an inside circulation
of liquids, such as the blood
and other saps, and that THE LUNGS ARE THE PUMP AND THE HEART
IS THE VALVE - and not the opposite -- as erroneously taught
by medical physiology for the past 400 years!
A further fact -- one that has been almost
entirety overlooked -- is the automatic, atmospheric outside
counter-pressure, which is over 14 pounds to the square inch.
Immediately upon, and after each out-breath a vacuum created
in the lung cavity. In other words, the human body animal
organism in its entirety, functions automatically inhaling
air-pressure and expelling chemically changed air and outside
atmospheric counter-pressure on the vacuums of the body.
That is vitality, animal life in the first instance and importance.
That is "P" (power) which keeps you alive -- without
air you cannot live five minutes!
But the unseen fact, let us say the secret,
is that it works simply and automatically thru atmospheric
counter-pressure, which is only possible because the "engine"
consists of elastic, spongy material with a vital strain power
-- with an ability of vibration, expansion and contraction.
Those two facts were the unknown secrets concerning
the automatic function of "P" as the phenomena of vitality,
and the Chemist Hensel has proven thru chemical physiological
formulas that this special vital elasticity of the tissues
is due to a lime sugar combination. . . .
Here, then, is the cause why so many "fasting
diet," "raw foods," "fruit-diet" etc., "cures" fail.
THE INEXPERIENCED LAYMAN ALWAYS COMES TO THE DEATH POINT .
. .
- First -- Vitality does not depend primarily and
directly upon food, but rather from the facts of
how far and how much the function of the human engine
is obstructed -- "clogged up" by the obstructions of mucus
and toxemias.
- Second -- Removing "O" by artificially increasing
"P" thru artificial stimulants, shaking and vibrating tissues
thru physical treatments is always done at the expense of
"V," Vitality.
- Third -- Vital energy, physical and mental efficiency,
endurance, superior health by
"P," air and water alone, is tremendous, beyond imagination,
as soon as "P" works and can work without "O" -- without
obstruction and friction in a perfectly clean body.
- Fourth -- The limit of going without food and before
solid food becomes necessary under such ideal conditions,
is yet unknown.
- Fifth -- The composition of "P," besides air, oxygen
and a certain quantity of water-steam, increases -- but
only in a clean body -- thru the following other
agents from the infinite:
ELECTRICITY; OZONE; LIGHT (especially
sunlight); ODOR (good smells of fruit and flowers).
Further, it is not impossible that under such
clean, natural conditions, nitrogen of the air may be assimilated.
In the following lesson I teach you a new
but true physiology of the body, which is necessary to
know in order to understand why and how the MUCUSLESS DIET
HEALING SYSTEM functions in its complete perfection, and for
this purpose it was first necessary to lift the veil from
the secret, FROM THE MYSTERY OF VITALITY.
The New
Physiology LESSON VI.
As you now know what Vitality is and how simply
animal life functions automatically by air pressure and counter-pressure
(on fish, etc., it acts exactly the same, by water
instead of air), you may realize that medical physiology,
the science of animal functions is fundamentally wrong, based
on the following errors, which must be corrected by a New
Physiology:
- The Theory of Blood Circulation.
- Metabolism or change of matter.
- High Protein Foods.
- Blood Composition.
- Blood Building.

Blood Building
Today, every substance of the human body is
chemically analyzed and doctors dream of perfecting chemically
concentrated food substances in the future, making it possible
for you to carry your meals in your vest pocket in sufficient
quantities to last a couple of days. That will never happen,
for the human body does not assimilate a single atom of any
food substance that is not derived from the vegetable or fruit
kingdom.
All manufactured food mixtures, when too concentrated
-- either of the animal or vegetable kingdom -- do not build
blood but stimulate only.
Animal foods cannot build good blood; in fact,
do not build human blood at all, because of the biological
fact that man is by nature a fruit eater.
Albumen is not the most important substance
for our blood, nor is it mineral salts alone which build perfect
blood. The cardinal standard substance for man's blood
is the highest developed form of carbon hydrate, chemically
called sugar-stuff, grape or fruit sugar as contained more
or less in all ripe fruits, and in the next lower state in
vegetables and raw foods.
