The diseases of civilization in some cases commence before birthdue to malnutrition and toxemia of the mother in pregnancy. From birthonwards they appear in a fairly predictable sequence in the averageperson and are so common they are generally assumed to be a more orless normal part of human existence. The sequence starts with variousminor respiratory infections, proceeding to tooth decay, occasionalflu, acne, dandruff, constipation and so on, all considered quite tobe expected. As people

grow older the more troublesome problemsappear, such as premenstrual tension and headaches in women, slowlyincreasing blood pressure, the need for reading glasses, back problemsand so forth. From this stage it is only a short step to arthritis,diabetes, circulatory and digestive problems, ulcers, gallstones,kidney stones, bowel problems, glaucoma, and finally cataracts,prostate disorders, osteoporosis, senility, Alzheimer's disease--ifheart attack, stroke or cancer have not already broken the sequence.These are only the common ones, but common or uncommon THEY ARE ALLCAUSED BY TOXEMIA; THEY ARE ALL SYMPTOMS OF TOXEMIA. TOXEMIA ISTHE REAL DISEASE. The different manifestations of disease, BEING OF MAINLY DIETARYORIGIN, vary according to the nature of the dietary faultsresponsible, and thus different countries and communities displayvarying disease patterns which differ according to the traditionaldiets and

other living habits which are followed. In brief:Toxemia = impurities and deficiencies of the blood Disease = dysfunction of normal body processes. Why humans get sick and wild animals do not formula: The art ofcooking + the science of chemistry and medicine = toxemia and thediseases of civilization. Improperly produced food--although life sustaining, is at thesame time health destroying because it does not furnish the life-sustaining components in the proper form or quantity, and in addition introduces, directly or indirectly, toxic substances into the bloodstream.Thus the digestive system is constantly overworked and the body's interior is constantly in a state of toxemia, the degree of which is dependent onthe vitality of the eliminatory organs. Because there are countless variations in the nature and degree oftoxemia, there are countless variations in symptoms, which

accountsfor why there are so many diseases doctors must try to remember thenames of in their mistaken belief that each symptom represents adifferent disease. All races of people are sickness prone, some to a greater or lesserextent than others, for THE SIMPLE REASON THAT HUMANS EVERYWHERETAMPER ONE WAY OR ANOTHER WITH NATURAL FOOD--MOSTLY BY COOKING--ANDOFTEN CONSUME FOOD NOT REALLY SUITED TO THEIR SYSTEMS AT ALL, inaddition to which they practise other harmful habits. The traditional Western diet--that is, one high in fat, protein,cholesterol, salt, sugar, condiments and so on--contains plenty ofnutrients, but in the wrong proportions, too much of it cooked, andtoo much of it altogether. That the Western diet can sustain health isa fact, but it does so only if the digestive system can perform thedifficult task of breaking it down and assimilating it while at thesame time effectively

disposing of the toxic by-products produced.Thus no matter what the diet, the duration of healthy years and theultimate duration of life depends on how long the integrity of thebody's vital organs can be maintained under whatever strain they maybe forced to endure. All forms of animal life respond to unnaturalfood in the same way. Horses fed on oats and chaff will maintainreasonable health and live for twenty-five years, but on good naturalpastures will maintain better health and live for fifty years.Similarly, dogs and cats fed only on canned and packaged foods neverdisplay best condition nor live as long as those fed exclusively onraw meat.* Toxins are produced in the body from the best of diets as naturalby-products of normal metabolism and are eliminated effortlessly bythe organs of elimination without the slightest wear and tear. Thetoxins that do all the harm leading to premature

degeneration anddisease are the toxins resultant from eating the wrong food. The toxins which are products of normal metabolism arise from twosources: 1. The unwanted by-products of digestive functions which fromnatural food are of low potency and easily expelled via the kidneysand urine. 2. The waste products of the body's cells which are carried away inthe lymph fluid and bloodstream to be expelled via the kidneys(urine), the lungs (carbon dioxide) and the skin (sweat). The abnormal toxins which cause disease when they overload theliver and kidneys, pollute the blood and body's interior are: 1. The unwanted by-products of digestive functions,except in greater quantity and higher potency due to the morecomplicated molecular structure of COOKED FOOD, EXCESS PROTEIN, etc. 2. Incompletely digested substances entering the bloodstream

directfrom the digestive tract such as fat particles, cholesterol, proteinmolecules, salt, condiments, etc, which not only cause toxemia but, bymaking the blood sticky, impede its circulation. 3. Toxins from infected teeth; MERCURY from AMALGAM FILLINGS. 4. Chemicals contained in food, liquor, smoke and water (FLORIDEand CHLORINE at the levels commonly used in public water supplies aretoxic and immuno-supressive, as are minerals such as COPPER and LEADfrom pipes. 5. Medicine and drugs of any kind. 6. Stress-induced hormonal chemicals. 7. Last , and probably the most harmful--various acids and toxinsproduced in the colon by bacterial putrification of improperlydigested remnants of COOKED, HIGH-FAT, HIGH-PROTEIN FOOD which enterthe bloodstream in the water reabsorbed from the colon back into thecirculation. It can be seen then, that depending

mainly on the sort of foodeaten from day to day, toxemia within the body can vary over shortperiods of time from normal safe levels to levels high enough todisrupt bodily functions in many different ways, wearing out itsorgans and eventually causing death by functional breakdown of thebody's life processes. Thus the quality of life and length of itsduration may range from zero to perhaps 120 years according to thedegree to which toxemia is allowed to exist in the body. The healthiest and longest-lived people in the world are acceptedgenerally to be the Hunzas of northern Pakistan and the people in theCaucasus of Russia, whereas the shortest-lived are the Eskimos andLapplanders of the Arctic. Sir Robert McCarrison, Major General,Indian Medical Service, described the Hunzas thus: They eat less meat, mainly goats, their consumption of milk and milk products is low. But they are great FRUIT-EATERS,

especially ofapricots and mulberries, which they use in both the raw and sun-dried state.The power of endurance of these people is extraordinary. These people are long-lived and vigorous in old age. Among them, the ailments so commonin our own people--such as gastro-intestinal disorders, colitis, gastro and duodenal ulcer and cancer--are extraordinarily uncommon, and I have no doubt whatever in my own mind that their freedom from these scourges of moderncivilization is due to three things:: 1. Their use of simple, natural foodstuffs of the right kind; 2. Their vigorous outdoor life; and 3. Their bracing climate. With the Hunzas resistance to infection is remarkable . . .gastro-intestinal complaints, dyspepsia, ulcers, colitis, andappendicitis are at least as uncommon as they are common

elsewhere.Cancer is so rare that in nine years' practice I never came across asingle case of it. The Eskimos* by comparison rated this description by Dr SamuelHutton, who observed them over the period 1902 to 1913, from his bookHealth Conditions and Disease Incidence Among the Eskimos of Labrador: Old age sets in at fifty and its signs are strongly marked atsixty. In the years beyond sixty the Eskimo is aged and feeble.Comparatively few live beyond sixty and only a very few reach seventy.Those who live to such an age have spent a life of great activity,feeding on Eskimo foods and engaging in characteristically Eskimopursuits . . . Careful records have been left by the missionaries formore than a hundred years. *The word Eskimo is derived from the language of the CreeIndians and means "eater of raw meat". It should be noted that

thedescriptions given of both the Hunzas and the Eskimos are those madeearly in the 20th Century before they began to discard theirtraditional and more primitive way of life. It was also noted that the Eskimos had very low resistance toinfectious diseases and suffered severe osteoporosis as they gotolder. A later study of a small population (about 1000) on the eastcoast of Greenland by Hoygaard and Pedersen, Copenhagen 1941, showedan average lifespan of only twenty-seven and a half years mainly dueto premature degeneration of adults. Their diet was ninety-five percent flesh food but it was not stated whether the Eskimos had adoptedthe white man's practice of cooking their food. There is the comparison. Dr McCarrison attributed the excellence ofthe Hunzas to their diet, outdoor activity and bracing climate, so inview of the fact the Eskimos also indulged in much outdoor activity ina bracing

climate, the distinction in their health status compared tothe Hunzas is clearly due to dietary differences. Now the dubious health standards of all "developed" countries arepretty similar to each other and the diseases of civilization occuramong them in roughly the same proportions regardless of climate, andonly a little influenced by occupation. Clearly diet is the problem,so let us look at a comparison of the typical American diet with thatof the Hunzas. On average, Americans consume over four times the amount of fatand twice the amount of protein than that consumed by a Hunza manwhile at the same time less carbohydrate, most of which is sugaror otherwise refined and fiberless. PROTEIN AND FAT ARE THE CAUSE OF TOXEMIA The main sources of protein and fat in the Western diet are ofanimal origin and thus contain cholesterol in quantities harmful tothe human body.

However, many pure vegetarians also suffer toxemia toa dangerous extent because their diet is based heavily on grainproducts and lentils, which are very high in vegetable protein, and inmany cases include liberal quantities of concentrated vegetable oils. The by-products of the metabolism of fat and protein which arepotentially harmful are chemicals called KETONES from fat, and URICACID and AMMONIA from protein. It is mainly these substances inexcessive amounts which overtax the kidneys, sometimes to the extentof destroying them. For this reason it is wise for people on thetraditional Western diet to drink copious quantities of water to flushout the kidneys. Not only do heavy protein-eaters need to urinateoften, their urine is dark in color and odorous. Apart from the toxins so produced, the condition of the bloodstreamcan be seriously degraded by particles of fat and cholesterol enteringthe

bloodstream directly from the intestine via the lymph circulation,so much so at times that the blood appears milky red instead ofcrimson. In this situation the blood's red cells stick together inbunches called rouleaux, which block the fine capillary vessels anddeprive the tissues of circulation, causing the tingling sensation of"pins and needles". At the same time the blood platelets also adhereto each other and the blood plasma itself becomes sticky, so up goesthe blood pressure as the heart works harder. The white cells of theimmune system become inhibited in function as well, and the entirescene becomes a set-up for disaster, disaster meaning every disease inthe book. No wonder people lack vitality, need a lot of sleep, catchcolds and get headaches, but these are only minor signs of thetroubles that lie ahead if the toxemia is allowed to persist. The most poisonous form of toxemia, however, originates in

thecolon (large bowel) because of constipation, which on the Western dietis unavoidable due to a lack of dietary fiber. It must be understoodthat a person can be "as regular as clockwork" and still beconstipated. On a NATURAL DIET of MAINLY FRUITS and RAW VEGETABLES,low in protein and fat, the indigestible cellulose remnants arequickly processed for elimination on reaching the colon by the normalaerobic bacteria there and are then readily defecated, having made theentire transit of the digestive tract in about twenty-four hours.However, when the undigested remnants of a high-fat, high-protein dietarrive in the colon they are difficult to break down further, and thenormal aerobic bacteria must change in form to an anaerobic form whichputrefies the remnants and produces different acids and toxicchemicals. Because meat, chicken, fish, dairy products and refinedcarbohydrates are completely lacking in fiber, the process is

slowmoving. Thus the "transit time" of the Western diet is aboutseventy-two hours instead of twenty-four, giving the potent toxinsample time to be absorbed into the body by way of the bile circulationand to set up the irritation which leads to appendicitis and bowel cancer. A graphic illustration of how auto-intoxication from the coloncauses all manner of disease is the experience of Sir WilliamArbuthnot Lane,* the famous English physician and surgeon. Sir Williamfirst realized that the bowel was the source of many health problemswhen, after surgically removing diseased bowels, he noted that hispatients' health rapidly improved and various diseases such asarthritis, gall bladder "involvements", thyroid "difficulties", etcdisappeared in a few days. At first his surgical training influencedhim to specialize in removing peoples' colons, until it occurred tohim from the biologist, Sir Arthur Keith's, studies of wild

apes thatthe entire problem could be eliminated simply by dietary means. *The Prevention of The Diseases Peculiar to Civilization by SirWilliam Arbuthnot Lane (1929). That the problem of chemicals such as preservatives, coloringagents, etc: in food is one of relatively minor importance compared tobody-produced toxemia is illustrated in some interesting comparisonsof disease incidence in different countries. Denmark has very strictprohibition against most food additives, while Norway and Sweden donot. Despite this, Denmark has a cancer incidence twenty per centhigher than Norway and Sweden,* which is explainable by the fact thatDenmark per capita consumes 20% MORE FAT in the diet. Butanother comparison, this time between Denmark and Finland, showed thatin relation to colon cancer, MEAT WAS THE GREATER DANGER than fat,because the Finns consumed even more fat than the Danes but had only

aquarter as much colon cancer. That Denmark suffers four times thebowel cancer rate of Finland is explainable only by the Danes' muchheavier meat consumption (from the International Agency for Researchon Cancer 1977). *Cancer Research, Vol. 35, p. 3379, K. Carroll. When people speak of "cleansing diets", they mean diets which donot cause toxemia. Internal cleansing is performed by thebody itself, which of course it is trying to do all the time but canonly accomplish properly when freed of constant overloads. Thequickest way to achieve inner cleanliness is by not eating anything atall, ie fasting, and consuming water only for an indefinite period,but this requires tuition and supervision and will be discussed later.The role of GARLIC and other herbs in improving health when usedtherapeutically seems to be in emulsifying fat in the blood andlowering blood viscosity, but of course THE

REAL ANSWER IS NOT TO PUTTHE FAT IN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. Most of the medicine prescribed by doctors they have littleknowledge about other than the sales pitch given them by thepharmaceutical representatives (have you ever perused a medicaljournal?), but it is a pretty safe bet that if doctors ever studiedthe fine print in the drug manuals on the side effects of these drugsthey would think twice before taking any themselves. It is also apretty safe bet that if the patients ever got to read the fine print,they would quickly find the strength to run away. John H. Tilden, MD, said it all back in 1926. Summing up in hisbook "Toxemia Explained"-- "In chronic disease, the treatment, first, last and all thetime, must be with a view of getting rid of the toxemia. This consistsof correcting whatever habits of life are producing enervation, andthen gradually building up

a normal digestion, assimilation andelimination. It took a long time to evolve out of the one conventional ideaof many diseases into the truth that there is but ONE disease, andthat the four hundred catalogued so-called diseases are but differentmanifestations of Toxemia--blood and tissue uncleanliness."
