The glands of internal secretion then are pressed into hyper function and forced to manufacture more of their secretion. Since, however, the amount of a gland's secretion is in exact ratio to the volume of blood entering it, the gland is enlarged by this extra blood supply, which often can have disastrous physical consequences. Should the adrenals predominate, vicarious elimination may occur through the bowels or the kidneys, or the toxic materials virtually could be burned up by hyper-oxidation in the liver, effected by adrenal action, often giving rise to elevated body temperature or fever. It must be pointed out that too frequent use of the same paths of vicarious elimination will lead to atrophy and degeneration of any path of elimination as well as a gradual wearing down of the strength of the glands themselves. Although disease, especially acute disease, is a life-saving process, it is also a life consuming process .
Frequent stimulation leads to exhaustion leading to further enervation of the whole system.
Under such utopian conditions, it is conceivable that disease would be an impossibility. In other words, living within your means , the individual, under the above circumstances, would be immune to disease .
