INTOLERANCE:-I is said that a
million or more dollars were spent in
securing the moving picture films de-
signed to illustrate that one word.
Many, many millions could not tell
al of the suffering caused by that one
trait in humanity. see it most forci-
bly, from the health standpoint.
The old school standpatter who knew
only drugs and surgery would like to
force all humanity to take his pills
and his only All others are fakes
From him, on through the list homeo-
path, electric osteopath, chiroprac ctor,
Christian Scientist and l am sure I
don't know how many more but each
and every one can see no good in any
other system than their own.
l have just read TRADE against all
kind of treatment except the one
which cured the writer of the article
He had, undoubtedly been very hear
ty eater and after going to various
doctors and hospitals, food faddist
induced him to try raw Or uncooked
foods.
Of course it cured him because he
could not so easily cvereat. Uncooked
foods have greater bulk. Especially
is this true of fruits and vegetables
and this tendency is always to cure
constipation, one of the most common
of all ailments.
Now that man wants to cure every
ailment that any human being ever
had or is liable to have by forcing
everybody to throw out the cook
stoves and eat all foods raw.
He says that no one would
be sick if they eat as he does
and never take medicines but l think
he is simply one of those short-sighted,
intolerant persons who hear only one
side of the story. Raw foods are neces-
sary and curative in many cases but
cooked foods may be just as necessary
in some others.
There is no living thing, man, ami
NAL, tree, shrub or plant that is not
subject to disease and death. Most
animals limit their diet to few items,
all uncooked and yet I have found
none that are free from disease.
Man alone has been able to triumph
over nature in many ways and rise
above the animals limitations. His
years are frequently shortened by
reason of the fact that his food is
abundant and easily procured, with the
result of overeatlng and under exer-
cising.
In his zeal for overcoming sickness
and death he has made many fatal
blunders and he usually kills many
before he learns that he has blundered.
Undaunted he continues and in time
he will establish the prevention Of
disease as real science.
Tremendous strides have recently
been made in real scientific treat
ment of disease by means that are
as exact as the science of members and
these discoveries will ultimately cause
many of our established blunders to be
thrown into the discard.
Bigotry and intolerance have. al
ready kindered the use of these dis
coveries but at present only about
1000 physicians out of the 10000 in.
practice, very small percentage, are
using the new method of practice,
but in time it will become general.
Some doctors are over-enthusiastic and
predict that we can soon live as long
as we may desire to live but I am
doubtful on that point. Needless to
say that this new system cannot be
taken from a bottle. Drugs are for
symptoms; they do not remove causes.
