INTRODUCTION TO POINTS ON PRACTISE
The preceding lessons were written through a period of many years' active practise in treating dis-eases by scientific feeding. They were intended as a normal course to qualify doctors, nurses, and those who wished to treat dis-ease by this method. However, the demand for this class of information has come from people in every walk of life, therefore the lessons, and all technical matter composing this entire work have been most carefully revised and rewritten in simple language so that any person of ordinary intelligence can comprehend them.
The following lesson is intended for the guidance of the practitioner in beginning his work in this branch of the healing art.
Inasmuch as nearly all human ills are caused by errors in eating, the preceding lessons have been confined almost wholly to dis-eases that originate in the digestive organs.
Lesson XVIII
Points On Practise
Dietetic treatment is reconstructive
There are a great many abnormal conditions of the human body classed as dis-eases that bear a very remote relation to diet, but in practise the student will soon learn that many of these conditions, which have not been considered in these lessons, will entirely disappear when the diet is perfected. This is true because dietetic treatment, based upon the fundamental laws of nutrition, is reconstructive, hence every part of the anatomy shares in the general improvement.
