The individual who has never been sick proves that his nervous mechanisms are normally controlling the blood supply to all parts of the body, not permitting the primary cause of disease to develop. In the other ones the nerve mechanism has lost its function to control the blood supply, for awhile, or always allowing the primary cause of disease to develop which is the proper medium for the development of bacteria, the secondary cause of disease. In closing, Neuropathy claims in order to prevent disease you must prevent the formation of the primary cause from developing by regulating the blood supply to all parts of the body through the nerve mechanisms. It might be well to give here a few facts which will lead to a better appreciation of the Neuropathic viewpoint. Health depends on perfect circulation in the tissues.
Perfect circulation necessitates the adjustment of blood supply to meet the demand of the cells.
The vaso-constrictor nerves are the more important of the two, as the tone of blood vessels, the maintenance of blood pressure, and the tone of the entire body depends on their constant action. Increased functional activity must be supported by increased circulation, which means that the blood supply must be more abundant and proceed more rapidly through the tissues. Disease begins with abnormal irritation, which leads to perversion of function and structure. Functional perversions, from the standpoint of the nervous system are two kinds, central and peripheral. Central perversions are those in which the active irritant is located in some part of the nervous system.
