As the nerve is, so is the organ it controls, and every part of the body can bee reached and controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Neuropathic Treatments. Thus is created the condition known as disease. There are three physiological laws governing the activity of cells with relation to their blood supply. Every cell in the body will maintain itself in a perfect state of health if it receives the proper quantity and quality of blood material and oxygen, and has its waste products promptly removed, provided it is not subjected to extremes of temperature or injured by violence. All cellular activity is governed by the demand which the body makes upon such cells for thee product of their activity motion, heat, secretion, excretion, conduction, etc.
Cells are active in proportion to the quantity of food material and oxygen which they receive.
Normally the blood supply is governed by the demand of the cells, but it is known that an abnormal irritation of any part of the body will increase the blood supply to the cells in that neighborhood. Whether this irritation affects first the cells, arousing them to activity, causing them to demand more blood, or whether the irritant acts directly upon the afferent nerves and reflexly cause a dilation of the blood vessels in the area of irritation has not been fully determined. The inference drawn from numerous experiments and observations is that the irritant acts directly on afferent nerves and increases the blood supply by the production of direct reflexes over the vaso-motor tracts, the cells becoming active in consequence of the increased blood and oxygen supply. In health, blood supply is equal to the demand of the cells, while under abnormal conditions the supply may become so much in excess of the demand that congestion and lymph stagnation occur, or the supply may be inadequate to meet demand. In either case, a diseased process will be the result.
