Purpose of Graduating
The series throughout will be formulated with a view to the purpose of graduating
later from among those who follow the course, a body of competent instructors
capable of transmitting the knowledge they have acquired to others, privately or
professionally. But remember the axiom of Cicero:
"Not only is there an art in acquiring knowledge but also a rarer art in
imparting it to others."
The first question, then, which will naturally arise in the mind of the reader will be:
What is This Method of Regeneration?
The reply to this question is in reality a simple one, but in order to explain and
define the word "Regeneration" from a purely scientific standpoint, it will be
necessary to cite the results of the author's researches and to outline his method of
healing by regeneration, showing how he purposes to lead the way from a dark past
and a dull present into a brighter future.
Before doing so, however, it may perhaps conduce to a better understanding if I
quote from the remarks of an eminent local authority on the chemical composition
of the body—a subject "new," as it appears, to the general medical practitioner of
the day though, for over a quarter of a century freely expatiated upon by the great
Biologists of the period.
The extract is taken from a recent article by Assistant Surgeon General Dr. W.C.
Rucker, of the United States Public Health Service, and reads as follows:
"Much of the advance of modern medicine has been accomplished through the
development of physiological chemistry which is even yet a new science.
"Although so new, it is assuming such importance as to make it manifest that the
physiology of the future will be written largely in terms of chemistry.
"We have come to realize that the body is in a literal sense of the word, a chemical
laboratory.
The foods we eat, the fluids we drink, the gases we breathe are complex
chemical compounds which the body must take apart and put together again in such
a way that the materials may be delivered in a shape that will enable the cells to
store them.
It is then the business of the cells to utilize these materials for TISSUE
BUILDING and in the production of energy, in the form of work and heat. The
body manufactures different kinds of products, some beneficial, others harmful.
Thus for example, excessive muscular effort throws into the bloodstream fatigue
products that are poisonous.
A person utterly tired out is really suffering from acute
poisoning. On the other hand, to resist invasion by infectious diseases, the body
manufactures anti-poisons that kill the enemy germs—making in other words, its
own medicine."
The physical processes here mentioned by Dr. Rucker are fully explained in my
book, "Dare to be Healthy," chapter VI, VII, VIII, and the natural principles
involved have been practiced by me for over 30 years. I mention the fact simply as
corroborative evidence of the authenticity and value of the work shortly to be
published.
