Enervation Is General

EVERYBODY was surprised at the large percentage of our young manhood plucked by the medical examining boards during the World War. To that surprise, add the one which the Philosophy of Toxemia adds, and thinking people should he appalled.

The examining boards passed all young men who did not show a developed pathology; which meant all who did not show some change of organ or tissue—structural change.

When it is known that functional derangements precede structural changes by months and even years, it should be quite obvious that there were more young men passed by the boards who were potentially ill or unable to carry on than were plucked. Time has proven this generally unknown fact true; for before the war was over ninety-five per cent of the American army had received hospital attention for sickness, other than injury, from one to five times. And the boys who did not get over to France died by the thousands from the “flu.” What does this mean? It means that life as it is lived causes the people generally to be enervated. And when nerve-energy drops below normal, the elimination of toxin —a natural product of metabolism is checked, and it is retained in the blood, bringing on Toxemia—the first, last, and only efficient cause of all so-called diseases.

It should be obvious to discerning, minds that the amount of toxin in the blood must vary with each individual, and that the degree of resistance also must vary with each individual. An amount would cause a toxemic crisis in one would apparently have no effect on another. An enervating cause—the usual immunization—that would scarcely produce a reaction at one time in a given subject might send the same subject to a hospital at another time, or even be fatal instanter. Active anaphylaxis is the alibi or apology of the pro-vaccinators; but it does not change the fact that vaccines are poisons, even if they are “pure,” regardless of the iterated and reiterated protests that they are innocent and harmless.

The amount of harm done the army by vaccination and re-vaccination will never be known. No words can describe the harm that immunizing with vaccines and serums has done and is doing, except wholesale vandalism.

The average doctor cannot think, and the others do not dare to think except conventionally out loud. I do not know where to place the men of the medical profession who are capable of thinking, but who refuse to allow reason to guide them in their thinking in the matter of so-called immunization. Can class-consciousness or class-bigotry explain? Surely knavishness is unfit. It has been said of me, because of my stand against the germ theory and vaccination, that I have “peculiar views;” by some, that I am “an ignoramus.” If I am, it is strange that fundamentally I find my thoughts and beliefs running parallel with one of the greatest thinkers of the nineteenth century— the famous English philosopher, Herbert Spencer. I was browsing in my library a few days ago, and picked up “Facts and Comments.
