The illogic of old wife's tales is unfathomable. One of their ideas is that any sickness, like tooth decay or hair loss, has its source in a deficiency of some kind; that the body didn't get enough vitamins, minerals or proteins. This is a great lie because the real cause of a sickness likes in an exact opposite direction. The body has been bombarded with too much foodstuff, especially with elements of destroyed cell structures. Any chemical taken into the body that is not predigested by the plant kingdom becomes a poison. The body can eliminate a substance only when it is bound inside a living cell. A sickness appears when dead substances have been added instead of taken away.
Every time a man wanders away from health a symptom of sickness appears. The early ones are colds, ulcers and tooth decays. They act as check points that warn him that any further advancement in this direction will bring greater harm.
A sickenss shows that the health of the body as a whole unit has been violated. Unnatural foods draw vital substances from all of the bodys tissues and bones for their neutralizatin. The body replaces the resulting voids with morbid sludge which now clogs up the system. The body deteriorates as a whole unit and only the presence of vital energy can start a cleaning process for which the weakest or most abused part of the body is chosen. This is the appearance of disease.
Ignorant people must always plot and plan to bring on a healing instead of letting the body heal itself. Originally, the tale of missing substances was invented in a voodoo kitchen with the purpose of getting gullible people under the voodoo priest's control. The victim is sold the right elixir that overpowers pain. And then's when he comes under his control.
