THE BODY AS A MACHINE

Tie a string around your finger tight. What will follow? The finger will turn red then it will turn black. In time it will die, and perhaps in consequence you will die too. No treatment, internal or external, material or mental, can save your finger, so long as the string remains. The only thing necessary is the removal of the string. This in a crude way illustrates the principle which is the basis of osteopathy.
