1. The Common Fundamental Cause in the

Nature of Diseases

All the phases of the process of development of the

medical science, including those of the earliest periods of

civilization, have in their way of understanding the causal

nature of diseases that one thing in common that the

diseases, owing to external causes, enter into the human

body and thus, by force of a necessary or at least

unavoidable law, disturb it in its existence, cause it pain

and at last destroy it. Even modern medical science, no

matter how scientifically enlightened it pretends to be, has

not quite turned away from this basic note of demoniac

interpretation. In fact, the most modern achievement,

bacteriology, rejoices over every newly discovered bacillus

as a further addition to the army of beings whose accepted

task it is to endanger the life of man.

Looking at it from a philosophical standpoint, this

interpretation differs from the mediaeval superstition and

the period of fetishism only in the supplemental name.

Formerly it was an “evil spirit,” which imagination went so

far as to believe in “satanic personages;” now this same

dangerous monster is a microscopically visible being

whose existence has been proven beyond any doubt.

The matter, it is true, has still a great drawback in the

so-called “disposition”—a fine word!—but what we really

are to understand by it, nobody has ever told us. All the

tests on animals, with their symptom-reactions, do not

prove anything sure, because these occur only by means of

injection into the blood-circulation and never by

introduction into the digestive channel through the mouth.

There is something true in the conception of “external

invasion” of a disease, as well as in heredity, however not

in the sense that the invader is a spirit (demon) hostile to

life, or a microscopic being (bacillus); but all diseases

without exception, even the hereditary, are caused—

disregarding a few other unhygienic causes—by

biologically wrong, “unnatural” food and by each ounce of

over-nourishment, only and exclusively.

First of all I maintain that in all diseases without

exception there exists a tendency by the organism to secrete

mucus, and in case of a more advanced stage—pus

(decomposed blood). Of course every healthy organism

must also contain a certain mucus—lymph, a fatty

substance of the bowels, etc., of a mucus nature.) Every

expert will admit this in all catarrhalic cases, from a

harmless cold in the nose to inflammation of the lungs and

consumption, as well as in epilepsy (attacks showing froth

at the mouth, mucus). Where this secretion of mucus does

not show freely and openly, as in cases of ear, eye, skin or

stomach trouble, heart diseases, rheumatism, gout, etc.,

even in all degrees of insanity, is mucus the main factor of

the illness, the natural secretive-organs not being able to

cope with it any longer, the mucus entering the blood and

causing at the respective spot where the vessel-system is

probably contracted owing to an over-cooling (cold), etc.,

heat, inflammation, pain, fever.

We need only to give a patient of any-kind nothing but

“mucusless” food, for instance fruit or even nothing but

water or lemonade: we then find that the entire digestive

energy, freed for the first time, throws itself upon the

mucus-matters, accumulated since childhood and

frequently hardened, as well as on the “pathologic beds”

formed therefrom. And the result? With unconditional

certainty this mucus which I mark as the common basic and

main cause of all diseases will appear in the urine and in

the excrements. If the disease is already somewhat

advanced so that in some spot, even in the innermost

interior, there have appeared pathologic beds, i.e.

decomposed cellular tissues, then pus is also being

secreted. As soon as the introduction of mucus by means of

“artificial food,” fat meat, bread, potatoes, farinaceous

products, rice milk, etc., ceases, the blood-circulation

attacks the mucus and the pus of the body themselves and

secretes them through the urine, and in the case of heavily

infected bodies, even through all the openings at their

command as well as through the mucus membranes.

If potatoes, grain-meal, rice or the respective meat-

materials are being boiled long enough, we receive a jelly-

like slime (mucus) or paste used by bookbinders and

carpenters. This mucus substance soon becomes sour,

ferments, and forms a bed for fungi, moulds and bacilli. In

the digestion, which is nothing else but a boiling, a

combustion, this slime or paste is being secreted in the

same manner, for the blood can use only the ex-digested

sugar transformed from starch. The secreted matter, the

superfluous product, i.e., this paste or slime is a foreign

matter to the body and is being completely excreted in the

beginning. It is, therefore, easy to understand that in the

course of life the intestines and the stomach are gradually

being pasted and slimed up to such an extent that this paste

of floral and this slime of faunal origin turn into

fermentation, clog up the blood-vessels and finally

decompose the stagnating blood. If figs, dates or grapes are
