Many people live under the mistaken impression that bowel evacuation

represents the whole system of human drainage. This is far from the

truth.

 

Only fourteen percent of the unusable waste in the form of

toxic poisons finds its way out of the body through the bowel.

 

It is true that many lateral and branch drains empty into the main

sewer. Of far more importance to the health of the human race are the large and

small arteries, the veins and lymph channels that maintain the circulation.

 

Of still greater importance to life and function are the millions of

microscopical channels and intercellular spaces that act as

middlemen or

distributors between the source of supply, which is the blood, and

the ultimate consumer, which is the cell.

 

Overeating, A Widespread Habit

 

Under prevailing conditions of life, drainage becomes the paramount

issue. The world produces food in abundance. Man finds a ready means

to convey this food to his insides after first dressing and altering it

to suit the discriminating taste of a pampered palate. Consequently, he eats

more than he actually needs. Everybody admits this.

 

Overeating Clogs Body's Disposal System

 

What has all this to do with drainage? Everything! What happens to

any sewer system that is crowded beyond its capacity? It fills up,

circulation becomes slow, then sluggish, and finally stops. In the

man-made sewage systems, choking or clogging is more likely to start

at the distal end of the main trunk sewer and back up, eventually to

occlude and obstruct the lesser channels in turn. To a certain

extent

this is also true of the human body, as in obstinate chronic

constipation. Long before this condition can become a serious menace

to health, clogging of the small channels in the body has been going on

insidiously because of the excessive food intake which taxes the

organism beyond its capacity to absorb assimilate, liquefy, and

carry away.

 

Constipation of Body's Drainage System Rarely Felt

 

Everybody knows the harmful results of incomplete intestinal

drainage, which is in itself an effect rather than a cause. What everybody does

not know is that imperfect drainage throughout the entire organism

is but another form of constipation, going on continuously as a result

of wrong eating even though the bowels may move freely every day.

 

In most persons drainage is obstructed very early in life, due entirely to an

overcrowded nutrition. The functional capacity of the body is not equal

to the burden imposed upon it. When nature sees fit to rebel against

the practice of overeating, we develop what is known as disease or

discomfort. These discomforts do not, except in occasional

instances, come on at once. It may take years before we find out that we have

been injuring ourselves.

 

The Necessity of Proper Drainage

 

What precedes and accompanies local swelling, congestion or

inflammation? Imperfect drainage! This is true regardless of whether

the immediate or exciting cause be an injury or an infection.

 

• What prevents blood poisoning following wounds or abrasions?

Proper drainage!

 

• What relieves pain and removes the infection from an abscessed

tooth? Drainage!

• What do inflamed or infected tonsils need? Drainage!

 

• What does a boil or an abscessed appendix need? Drainage!

 

• What about a congested liver, an obstructed gall duct, an infected

and debris-engorged gall bladder? They need drainage!

 

• What about lumps in the breast or swollen mammary or lymphatic

glands? Drainage is needed!

 

• How can we allow rapid healing of certain venereal infections?

The need is drainage!

 

• What does the engorged lung in pneumonia need to relieve it?

Drainage!

 

• What subsides the inflammation of the mucous surfaces that are

congested in acute or chronic catarrh? Drainage!

 

• What cures the sinuses or mastoid abscess? Drainage!

 

• What is the best solution for infection after childbirth?

Drainage!

 

We are mentioning common conditions that all of us know and many of

us have experienced. Why do these diseases occur in the first place?

Lack of drainage.

 

If drainage had been perfect, there would have been no

local manifestation. What was undrained? The veins, the capillaries,

the lymph channels, and the very cells themselves cry out for

drainage.

 

What caused them to clog? Unusable food, resulting in imperfect

combustion and in clinkers instead of an easily removable or soluble

waste also block drainage. NOTE: There are many causes of impaired

drainage other than overeating. Improper foods, cooked foods,

poisons,

and enervating practices also retard excretion.

 

Can you see in this condition the cause of arteriosclerosis in which

the caliber of the blood vessels is gradually lessened by the

accumulation of waste? The child who is continually overfed is actually starting

to build arteriosclerosis, if its diathesis (congenital susceptibility) is

in that direction.

 

When the individual reaches the age of forty or

fifty, the condition is recognized: the man or woman has hardening

of the arteries-possibly also high blood pressure and an organically

unsound heart.

 

Impaired Body Cleansing Begins a Slow Death

 

What is the condition of the body when arteriosclerosis is already

quite easy to diagnose? You are merely witness to imperfect nutrition plus

imperfect drainage.

 

Take, for instance, an organ such as the liver.

For years the capillary blood vessels have been carrying a diminishing

supply of nutritive blood to the liver. What happens?

 

These cells no longer function vigorously. They become apathetic, sluggish, and

slow to respond to stimuli.

 

As a result of malnutrition, certain areas may

break down and undergo fatty degeneration.

 

What happens to the rest of the body? It suffers the same identical impairment!

What then is the crying

need of the body? Drainage-removal of obstruction; opening up of the

channels that supply nutrition; and, what is of equal importance,

clearing of lymph channels and venous circulation that carry away

the debris.

 

The same process goes on in the kidneys, ending in Bright's disease.

Why seek forever and a day for causes outside the human body when there

is so much within that needs correction or drainage?

 

One Way Cancer Begins

 

Thoughts also persistently turn to the subject of cancer. Take, for

example, the simpler form that usually starts as a benign lump in

the breast. Often a history of a blow or bruise or injury of some kind can be

elicited.

 

What happens? The glandular structure is fragile and

held together by loose connective tissue. Bruising or crushing of the

cells even in a small area causes local swelling and enough inflammation

to obliterate the lymph channels.

 

The walls of these channels virtually

adhere or grow fast to each other so that the lymph can no longer

flow

through them. The gland structure suffers from lack of nutrition,

lack

of active and passive circulation. In time, this area breaks down

and becomes tender or painful.

 

Drainage of the dead or dying cells is

obstructed. Nature does not permit dead material to remain in any

part

of the body without making an effort to remove it. Dead cells and

the

substances into which they break down are toxic in character and

they

gain entrance into the blood stream by breaking through the normal

boundaries nature has built as protection. This toxic material comes

into contact with neighboring lymph glands through communicating

lymph

channels. Secondary processes or infections are thus set up and the

activity continues until sufficient tissue has broken down to cause

a

fatal ending.

 

What can be done about this condition in either the early or the

late

state? Drainage and circulation must be established. Surgery

skillfully

removes such local areas but it does not remove or correct the

primary

cause, which is obstruction of drainage throughout the body. The

natural

hygienist simply cannot conceive that a body developing lumps in the

breast simultaneously has a free and unobstructed general

circulation.

In the affected area, toxic, undrained waste prepares the soil. The

injury supplies the irritation, and the stages of degeneration

follow in

natural sequence. In the last stages of cancer, the toxic material

becomes so concentrated that it virtually destroys the life of the

blood. A condition allied to septicemia or blood poisoning

supervenes,

and this is invariably fatal.

 

In the early stages of lumps in the breast the great majority of

cases

recover completely if living and eating habits are corrected. What

has

diet to do with this? Much! The highways and byways in the body

become

clogged because of too much food. To be specific, too much

carbohydrate

(in the form of starches and sugars) and too much protein, with too

little of the fruits, salads and vegetables which contain the

alkaline

bases. These are nature's most effective alternatives.

Compare Edgar Cayce's perspective of cancer causation which includes

" injury, lack of vitality, and depleted immune system ...

specifically,

chronic irritation or bruising were often said to be triggering

factors

producing tumors which could become malignant. " and for specific

detail

Chronic Irritation Is A Primary Etiological Factor in Cancer. Dr.

Johanna Budwig also agrees with the concept that bruising can

trigger

tumors, see eminent alternative & conventional cancer treatment

researcher Lothar Hirneise's interview with Dr. Budwig.
