is admitted to-day by the high
est authority that cancer is in
durable; and though many cures
have been proposed, the only hope
is still the possibility of remov-
ing it by operation, which. however,
often serves only to hasten the end.
Recent investigation into the effects,
hitherto not fully recognized, of disor
ganized nutrition, resulting chiefly
from complex diet and overeating.
have led me to the conclusion
that cancer is due to abnormal cell
proliferation resulting from those
causes and that, consequently. 1t
can be cured by restoring normal
nutrition-by a course of rigid diet.

in harmony herewith, the mental
state now being understood to have a
very important bearing upon physical
conditions. Though this natural cure
has the virtue of simplicity and entire
freedom from risk, II is no less worthy
OF consideration than the now well

Plants and animals have an organ
ized growth, each organ bearing a GER
tain proportionate size and doing a
certain work in the social group. At
maturity growth ceases, but organic
tissue continues to be renewed by new
oil
there is a disorganization of this har.
monious growth and renewal, which
is dependent upon normal nutrition
this term including not only the ap.
preparation of food, but the elabora
ton of tissue, the elimination of waste
and the control of all the processes by
mental states. A colony of stomach
cells, for instance, is established or
the liver, gradually encroaching upor
that organ until IL seriously interferes
with its functions and poisons the
blood by the secretion of abnorma
poisonous matter. Such q renegad,
cell organization shows some capacity
for the function of, in this case, tn,
stomach, secreting a quasi-gastri,
fluid; but the cancer cell is irregular

What is the origin of this growth
Disorganization, surely; loss II
some degree of the normal proc
esses of nutrition. And careful
inquiry into the nature OF nutrition
has shown that disorganizption is in
duced by abnormal complexity of diet
the eating of many different foods a
the same meal, each having its owl
requirement for elaboration into eel
tissue; emphasized by excessive eat
ing and abnormal mental states, espe
cially after middle life, when the re
Quirement for food is reduced with
out reduction in the supply, as is CON
mon in prosperous America, England
France and Germany, more particular
ly, where cancer is very common an
increasing among the wellto-do.
