The Body Heals Itself

Q. What is the process of cure?

A. Said Dietl, pupil of the famous Ger­man pathologist, Rokitanski: "Nature alone can cure; this is the highest law of practical medi­cine, and the one to which we must adhere. . . Nature creates and maintains; she must there­fore be able to cure."

The healing power is in the blood ; it is the blood that heals, or rather, the creative power which formed the body in the first place, and which repairs the damage done by the wear and tear of life. It is this same power which re­stores disordered functions and repairs damaged tissue. Physicians do not and cannot heal.

Medicines, baths, and other so-called remedial measures are powerless to heal. All that physicians and remedies can do is to aid in remov­ing causes of disease and supplying favorable conditions. Physiological measures, such as water, electricity, massage, exercise, and sunlight, regulation of diet and clothing, possess a wonderful controlling influence over the healing power of the body by regulating the movement of the blood, the greatest of all remedial agencies; and by stimulating the vital activities and con­trolling the vital forces by which the healing process is carried on.

Diseased tonsils are a constant menace to the body, proving an open door for the entrance of harmful organisms. Tuberculosis germs and other disease-producing bacteria often find their way into the body through the open portal pro­vided by diseased tonsils. The tonsils harbor disease germs, such as pneumonia and diptheria, also the germ of influenza or la grippe. These germs are lying there ready to develop whenever the vital resistance is lowered by cold, exhaus­tion, indigestion, or any other depressing cause. Diseased tonsils are often a cause of rheumatism and probably other serious maladies. Tonsils which frequently become raw or in­ flamed or which are constant...
