ly alike; and that consequently only
the skilled and accustomed practitioner =will be able to regulate such
hidden, internal processes as cause the visible disturbance, and thus
bring about healing and regeneration, which simply means a return to the
normal=.
=His methods will prevent the use of the surgeon's knife, which only
removes the symptom, leaving the cause untouched and inflicting useless
and irreparable harm. The specialist, with his poisonous specific
remedies for forms of disease, which after all are only degrees of
chemical exhaustion, will also disappear, together with all similar
treatment which enervates the body making it an easy prey to new attacks
of the same chemical anomalies which must and will most certainly return
so long as they are not rectified according to the principles of
biology.=
THE TWELVE TISSUES.
Bearing the above principle of unity in mind, we may now proceed one
step further, and study the most important details upon which the method
of healing, as applied by the hygienic-dietetic physician, is based.
As previously mentioned, the cells of the human body are organized into
twelve distinct tissues, some of which are the component parts of the
various organs as discernible by form and function.
These twelve tissues are the following:
1. The plasmo tissue (blood plasma).
2. The lymphoid tissue.
3. The nerve tissue.
4. The bone tissue.
5. The muscular tissue.
6. The mucous membrane tissue.
7. The tooth and eye tissue.
8. The hair tissue.
9. The skin tissue.
10. The gelatigenous tissue.
11. The cartilage tissue.
12. The body tissue in general.
1. _The plasmo tissue_: This tissue is a liquid, the blood plasma, which
is one of the important component parts of the life-giving substance,
blood. It is the blood serum--blood-water and fibrogen--which harbours
the white and the red corpuscles. The red corpuscles are the carriers of
oxygen to the various tissues, which the body draws from the atmosphere,
and of the other nutriments. They exchange it for the carbonic acid
which is forming in the body, and while the blood in flowing through the
system of arteries, brings the oxygen, it carries away, through the
veins, the poisonous carbonic acid which is exhaled into the atmosphere.
The red corpuscles, after having performed their duties, enter the liver
and are used to build the gall.
The proper quality of the plasma alone regulates the speed of b
