"THE SEVENTH STAGE OF DISEASE"
 (You Don't Want to Go There!)
By Dr. Vivian Virginia Vetrano with Victoria BidWell

FIRST... 3 DEFINITIONS

"INANITION" = a noun used to mean "malnutrition

exhaustion from lack of nourishment

starvation

lack of vigor

lethargy"

the anatomical or physiological manifestation of disease"

also, used to simply denote "disease"

    We must understand the terms "nutrition" and "malnutrition" precisely, however, to understand what the Hygienists meant by this paraphrased restatement: "The Descent into Disease is due to bad nutrition to parts of the body." Let us first examine this word, "nutrition." It is commonly thought of as simply supplying a person with good food to eat. In the study of the biological sciences, however, "nutrition" means "all the processes and functions that are necessary for the assimilation and utilization of food." "Nutrition," accordingly, is "the sum total of the all processes and functions by which the animal or plant takes in and utilizes food substances."

    Enervation (or lack of sufficient Nerve Energy for normal bodily function) prevents normal nutrition and drainage. Dear Health Seekers! When there is a lack of Nerve Energy and you begin to feel burned-out, washed-out, or worn-out, you may be sure that all the organs in your body -- if they could only tell you how they feel -- are also feeling burned-out, washed-out, and worn-out! All your organs are also experiencing this lack of Nerve Energy and are functioning less perfectly in proportion to the lowered Nerve Energy supplied. In these circumstances of low Nerve Energy, digestion is impaired; and toxic decomposition products or undigested foods are absorbed from the small intestine, polluting the body. All other functions of life, such as blood and lymph circulation, liver function, kidney function, immune and endocrine function, also are impaired when life is insidiously undermined and weakened from wrong living habits.
    We sometimes fail to comprehend the interdependence of all the organs of the body. Each organ has its own function to perform. It performs its work for the entire organism, as well as for itself. This is... "Body Ecology at Its Finest!" For instance, the stomach and intestines digest food for the entire organism, as well as for themselves. These organs are nourished with the products of digestion just as are other tissues of the body. When the stomach and intestines perform poorly, all other organs suffer, too. If any organ is deprived of sustenance, such as the heart, for example, it cannot perform its functions well. As a consequence, circulation to all organs of the body, as well as to the heart itself, is impaired. Impaired circulation interferes with nutritional processes in every tissue in the body; and this lowers quality of the tissues. To make matters worse, when circulation is impaired, drainage of metabolic wastes from tissues is also impaired. Impaired drainage means that the toxic waste products from the natural, normal, chemical life processes that take place in each cell, each second of its life, cannot be adequately carried away from the cells! The bodily fluids become toxic first; and then the cells of the tissues become clogged with waste material and function still less normally, "less perfectly," that is.
    All cells will function as well as can be expected under these less-than-perfect circumstances, but the failure of normal drainage greatly impedes their physiological activities. Fatty infiltrations, calcium deposits, and other pathogenic products accumulate in the cells ("intracellularly") and in the fluids around the cells ("extracellularly") because of the failure of drainage and consequent malfunction of the cell. Thus, The Health Seekers is descending into disease which ends at The Pathological Point of No Return. The kidneys will suffer greatly from impaired circulation and fail to eliminate wastes for the whole body; and the kidneys, as well as the entire renal system, are damaged. Apparently, when Professor Morgulis states that all changes are due to inanition, he hit upon an Hygienic Principle without realizing it! When there is poor nutrition to cells, there is a concomitant, poor drainage; and all the degenerative, all Pathological Points of No Return are derived from poor nutrition followed by poor drainage.
    From long-standing Toxemia, tissues gradually become so changed and so many cells succumb and are replaced by scar tissue or deranged tissue, that one begins to see and feel in his or her dismal future one landmark: The Pathological Point of No Return. This is when "things of the Earth grown strangely dim." Subconsciously, The Sick lose interest in life. Some do sense they are not long for this Earth. Beyond this point is where one loses the will to live. It is definitely a place where you do not want to go! Conversely, if we keep our tissues sweet and clean, that is, free from toxic build-up, all cells will function normally; and Superlative Health and a life full of service and FUN will be the reward!

    "I've got an incurable disease. You see, I have emphysema; and there is no use for me to undergo the hardships of fasting or a rigid diet. I can't Get Well, anyway. I may as well continue as I am doing now." The foregoing are the type of words that I have heard repeatedly from many people, whereupon I hastily ask them, "Who said your disease was 'incurable'?" Inevitably, they say, "Well, the medical profession can't do anything for me."
    I respond vehemently: "You cannot judge what Hygiene can do for you by what the medical profession cannot do for you!"

    Early in the 1800s, a number of intelligent physicians discovered that drugs ruined the constitutions of their patients; and the more intelligent of these physicians ceased the drugging practice, altogether. It is not a  compliment to the intelligence of present-day physicians to think that they cannot reason for themselves, as did these early-day medical doctors turned Hygienists! A quote from a such a physician who wrote Dr. Trall fully discloses the fact that he discovered the destructiveness of drugs as far back as Trall's day in 1857: "I am deeply interested in the doctrines taught in your excellent Water Cure Journal, and I intend to become an agent for the distribution of your popular health reform books. I have been a practitioner of medicine of the 'old medical school' for five years, have administered drugs enough to freight a steamer, and have drawn blood enough to float her! But my patients, I find, are worse off after I cure them than they were before. Their constitutions are ruined!"
    I would like to emphasize that modern drugs are ruining constitutions even more so today than the old drugs of yesteryear! A mild cold becomes bronchitis because of suppression of symptoms. The bronchitis becomes asthma or emphysema because of drugs and a failure to remove cause. The asthma or emphysema progresses destructively to bronchiectasis for the same reason. Drugs, drugs, drugs, and more drugs, and a failure to teach their patients to eliminate the remote causes and The Basic Cause of Disease, produce most of the destructive, pathological conditions that are more or less irreversible!
    Still in recent years, warnings from the more intelligent of our race disclose the evils of drugs. The Chicago Tribune, 12/22/75, carried an article by Kotulak in which he states: "A group of 18 internationally known scientists, including four Nobel laureates, have done what it takes to convince all, that modern society is filled with 'legal' pill pushers and pill takers. They point out that there is no such thing as 'a safe chemical,' a fact that doctors tend to forget and that most people do not know. Ideally, a drug is good if its benefits outweigh its risks.
    "But doctors, who do not receive much training in pharmacology, frequently prescribe drugs even though they know little about them; people eagerly take them; and the price which patients pay in terms of adverse side effects are horrendous! Studies in America and England have revealed that out of every 20 hospital patients, one is admitted because of the harm done by prescription drugs." The article goes on to report: "Patients who die from drug side effects in the United States alone are estimated to number between 6,000 and 12,000 annually."

    Dr. Shelton hammered away at his typewriter for years about the evil effects of drugs and the drugging practice; and still, only a few fully comprehended the insidiousness of The Medical Mentality. Their well-being is in danger by the use of these drugs!  Many people state that Shelton was too harsh on the medical profession -- that he should have stopped being so caustic and that he should be less critical. But he adamantly kept pointing out that you have to yank the  weeds out by their roots and get rid of them and then till the soil and compost it well before you could grow new and better plants! Consequently, he kept yanking away to eradicate the weeds in life's garden for those who would listen. Now, international scientists are attempting to jump on the Hygienic bandwagon and are making almost the same statements Dr. Shelton had been making for years and years. Only they are turn-coats to The True Health Revolution in America today. They are reformists, not Common Health Sense Revolutionists! Instead of cutting the weeds out altogether because the weeds are poisonous and rotten to their core and can profit mankind and womankind not one whit, these reformists like to concede: "Some benefits of drugs may outweigh the risks."  And so they are advocating a reform (meaning a compromise of Pure Hygiene with The Medical Mentality) rather than a Revolution (meaning a Declaration of Health Independence from The Medical Mentality)!
    Regarding the so-called "benefits of drugs," these "benefits" are fictions. "A beneficial drug" (There's a good oxymoron, for you!) simply has fewer, disastrous side effects than "a dangerous drug," the side effects of which are many and sometimes sudden and lethal! Naturally, conventional people who do not know the truth of Natural Hygiene desire a drug. They dearly want to believe the drug will cure them. Certainly, they do not want to face making many and radical changes in their indulgent and delicious lifestyle. Certainly, they do not want to be told, as Dr. Shelton always admonished: "You are the architects of your own miseries!!! You are fully responsible for getting well and staying well without drugs and doctors!" So, believing that drugs and doctors can get them well, these misguided Health Seekers  continue with what they have been taught; and their collective Medical Mentality seems to work just fine for awhile. Over the years, however, they find they are losing energy and not feeling so good and not able to do so much as they used to and are having trouble focusing their minds on projects and have become irritable and even embittered. 

    They do not realize that the symptoms they suppress today with drug poisons come out tomorrow in the form of yet other, more formidable diseases! They don't understand that suppression is not a cure. They do not understand that "to cure" their colds with medications today means the pathological evolution of bronchitis tomorrow. They do not understand that "to cure" their bronchitis with medications today means the pathological evolution of asthma or emphysema or bronchiectasis tomorrow. They don't understand that to attempt "to cure" with drugs and therapies and surgeries today may also mean the development of a new and unsuspected disease tomorrow, caused by the enervating and toxic prescriptions and recommendations that the doctor makes to cure them! They don't understand that following The Medical Mentality to the letter  today may very well mean inhumane suffering and their premature death tomorrow! What a terrible price to pay for a temporary respite from what once was, in its earlier Stages, after all, a very mild disease situation!

    All of the foregoing is sad, indeed, but not nearly so deplorable as the years The Sufferer must spend in pain and exhaustion and inability to work or to enjoy life because of a ruined constitution. And all is made doubly deplorable if and when The Sufferer does find Hygiene and finally realizes that his pitiable condition is due solely to his own blind belief in and adherence to The Medical Mentality and its concomitant, deadly, so-called "cures."

 

In PART 2, we select just 5 of the 10,000 diseases for which The Medical Mentality has treatments. And we show how these dis-ease situations start out innocently enough in the first few stages and end up debilitating and deadly in the last stage... definitely a place we do not want to go as we time-travel together through 2011!
