Cooling Drinks
For a similar reason acid drinks, such as lemonade, raspberry vinegar, and diluted
raspberry juice, are of the greatest services in inflammations and fevers. They
compose the system from within outward. For, as soon as any electrical negative is
brought into contact with the system, streams of electricity course through the body
and reduce the inflammation.
The best lemonade for this purpose is my preparation
"Tonogen," because it contains all the necessary acids, besides the necessary
constituents for inducing circulation and thereby preventing stagnation It is easily
established that patients treated according to my method have become very much
stronger and healthier than they were before the beginning of their illness.
Formerly, the proportion of deaths among these who contracted typhoid fever
reached twenty and thirty per cent and even higher. These deaths occurred simply
because of excessive internal heat. Today, a wide experience shows that hardly any
of such cases succumb.
Temperature Reduction.
The application of water in typhoid fever has secured for it a permanent place in the
sickroom. Not only have we been enabled by reducing the temperature with water,
to attain the very best results in the treatment of typhoid cases, inflammation of the
lungs, and all positive heat diseases, but by the same measures, we are now able to
forestall its development with increasing certainty.
Brand kept typhoid fever away from his soldiers while it raged around them in the
severest form, by the simple specific of a daily bath of an hour's duration in cold
water.
It is easy to understand why scarlet fever, measles and chicken-pox—all positive
diseases—demand the exclusion of sunlight in their treatment. Experience has
shown that the treatment of these diseases makes a more favorable progress when
sunlight is excluded.
This fact stands in sharp contrast to all previous observations as to the importance
of sunshine in the treatment of disease.
Negative Diseases.
Now let us leave the consideration of the febrile or positive diseases and turn to
those of negative character, as well as to disturbances where a reduced vibration of
the electrons, a preponderance of cold negative electrical forces, and unhealthy
action on the part of the mucous membranes, constitute the condition.
Curative Process.
In this instance, in order to initiate the curative process it is necessary to accelerate
the vibration of the electrons in the body—to render the system positive.
The principal remedy is heat, because it engenders a higher rate of vibration of the
electrons.
For this reason steam baths and other methods of applying heat prove
highly remedial in negative diseases of the catarrhal and kindred varieties. They
increase the vibration of electrons throughout the body and consequently, stimulate
metabolism. The morbid activity of the mucous membranes is reduced and the
blood flows actively again toward the surface, so that the internal organs
experience immediate relief from abnormal pressure.
Sun baths. Light baths.
Unquestionably in this age, marked as it is by the prevalence of negative ailments,
sun baths and electric light baths will celebrate triumph upon triumph over disease,
for they reanimate the vibration of the electrons even more than do steam baths,
and create a direct supply of rapidly vibrating positive electrons. One can easily be
satisfied on this point by observing the result of the simple but conclusive
experiment of lying in the sunshine when cold.
Baths in electric light and in
sunshine strengthen the system of one negatively sick, just as a strong current of
inductive electricity gives augmented force to a machine operated by inadequate
electric power.
The responsive reaction need cause no surprise, for every popular
sea-beach shows with what wonderful electrical results a salt water bath is attended
when followed by a sun bath in the sand.
Exercise.
Equally important in the management of negative diseases is exercise.
Everyone knows that exercise makes us warm, and we know now that warmth
comes from a quicker vibration of ether, or rightly speaking, the electrons of ether.
So, not only is the circulation of the blood improved and metabolism increased by
exercise, above all, the vibration of the electrons is enlivened, thus causing their
character to be changed to positivity, and the number of positive electrons in the
body to be increased.
Consequently, negative diseases, which result from a
preponderance of negative electrons in the body, disappear before systematic
exercise, as the darkness of night before the rising of the sun.
