acne rosacea and other things

[Guest guest]

Hello to all:

For some time now, a thread about acne rosacea has been going on. The

following information isn't directly linked with that condition, but

in my opinion it brings possibly some new important light upon the

occurrence of this particular disease and of many other diseases in

general. I'm translating this piece directly from French, so I

apologize for this frenchfried translation. (I'm certain that

Adrienne would do much better than me.) There are some words I was

unable to translate, so I left them in inverted commas. Additional

info is in brackets [ ].

The text may appear a little bit too schematic, but if it is true, it

would seem that the so-called vital force is decreasing already in

childhood (probably due to poor diets and " wrong " lifestyles), since

it isn't uncommon to find arthritis and even cancer in small

children, today.

<< From birth till death, man discharges into his secretions a

variety of intestinal poisons ( " scatol " , " indol " , phenol, ptomaines,

methane, lactic acid, etc) and the residues from his various

metabolisms (urea, uric acid, creatine, creatinine, carbonic gas,

etc).

Health is the result of a balance between the production and

elimination of those poisons and residues. Illness is the result of

an imbalance between that production and elimination.

If the production of poisons and residues is so high that the

excretory organs (liver, kidneys, skin, lungs, bowels) can't cope

with their function, the vital force [or life force] in the body will

refuse self-poisoning and will thus create " safety valves " or

emunctory diseases in order to help the excretory organs in distress.

If the vital force is very strong [as it often happens with

children], skin diseases (such as measles, chickenpox, etc) will

break out, and the fever burning out the wastes will be very high

[the stronger the vital force, the higher the fever].

If the vital force is a little less strong, the elimination of the

wastes will happen in the guise of acne, eczema, psoriasis, etc. The

wastes are brought out to the skin, but without fever.

If the vital force is weak, the elimination will take place in the

mucous membranes, and we will have: leucorrhoea, sinusitis, otitis,

tonsillitis, bronchitis, etc...

If the vital force is very weak, there won't be any elimination. The

poisons and residues will not be driven out. They will remain inside

the body, but the vital force, in an ultimate safeguard effort, will

try to locate them in the less vital places: articular cavities

(arthritis, arthrosis), sexual organs (cyst, tumour, cancer), bone

marrow (leukaemia), nervous system (Parkinson).

Seeing that in order to avoid disease, we must avoid the imbalance

between the production and elimination of poisons and residues, we

now must proceed to learn how this imbalance occurs. It may occur by

means of exogenal intoxication or intestinal " intoxination "

(poisoning), as we are going to learn in the next chapter. >> (R. M.)
