Other Diseases and their Chemistry



Similarly without the fluid contents of ovarian, hydrocele, multilocular renal, thyroid and other kinds of cysts which appear as pathologies in the human body, these I cysts would not be present because the purpose and cause for their formation would be absent. Consequently the cause for and purpose of all cysts which appear in the tissues of the body are associated with the nature of the cyst contents. Cysts only appear in the body as abnormal pathologies because of abnormal contents of the blood and tissue fluids, because their contents are derived from these fluids. Normality cannot give rise to abnormality, consequently the abnormal pathologies of all cysts are dependent for their presence on their abnormal contents, the collection of which is their only purpose.

There can be no doubt that all cysts, no matter what their body localization, their clinical nomenclature or their contents, are only reservoirs produced by the body in which are stored abnormal and therefore dangerous ingredients of the tissue and blood fluids To remove a hydrocele removes a natural protective receptacle of the body; the same applies to the many types of cysts which are routinely subjected to surgical removal. Nature attempts to cleanse the vital body fluids by creating natural receptacles for foreign or dangerous chemical or biochemical agents, which through ingestion or tissue metabolism have gained entrance into the blood and tissue fluid, circulation, etc., and through mechanical inconvenience, surgery removes these protective receptacles without giving one thought as to their cause or possible purpose.

Why does a hydrocele when tapped and its fluid contents removed, fill up time and again? Why do ovarian cysts follow the previous removal of others, until the only safeguard against repeated recurrences requires complete ovarian ablation? Because with these surgical measures, no attempt is made to discover and remove the causes. The viewpoint of surgery is that being abnormal they are causeless and purposeless, or if they have a cause and purpose, these are both local and are consequently removed with their effect the cyst. This viewpoint is, however, completely untenable. The only source of a continuous cause to give rise to a continuously enlarging or repeatedly filling up cyst is the body fluids. So to remove the effect and leave the source of its cause, counters the protective effort of nature to localize in a local receptacle, abnormal blood and tissue fluid contents.

The hydrocele, ovarian, thyroid, renal or other type of cysts present in the body may be abnormal in that it is not present in the majority of human bodies, but in the body in which it is present it is a natural receptacle for abnormal blood contents and it is these abnormal blood contents which constitute the basic abnormality without which the abnormal cysts could not be present. And the cyst contents are indices of the abnormal blood condition. If the natural cystic reservoirs are removed, and the abnormal blood source of their cause is allowed to persist and continue, other cystic reservoirs must inevitably form or the blood must gradually but surely become increasingly abnormal to the detriment of the vitality of every organ and tissue of the body.

What are the contents of these cysts? The answer to this question will solve the cause and reveal the protective purpose of their presence. There may be one or many causes for the various types of cysts which are so often found in human bodies. Only an examination of their contents will reveal their cause, in each case, although in those hydroceles and ovarian cysts which in limited number have been available to the writer for examination of their contents, the same abnormality has been invariably found. All the ovarian cysts and hydroceles have contained an almost saturated solution of mineral carbonates. Moreover, urinary examinations in these cases have revealed a complete absence of chlorides and phosphates, with excess of carbonate excretions.

Can these findings be correlated with what has already been said as to the sodium habit of civilization, the deficiency of the buffer salts of free chlorine and phosphorus and the excess of mineral carbonates brought about in the blood and tissue fluids by this human habit; and the caustic mineral salt causation of cancer due to the hydrolysis of deposited carbonates? Within the serous walls of cysts hydrolysis of carbonates does not occur.

Nature, Omniscient, Omnipotent, creative, protective and not destructive, forms natural (although abnormal cystic reservoirs for excessive carbonates circulating in the blood and tissue fluids, otherwise with deficient excretion and continuous ingestion, these excessive carbonates must be precipitated in body tissues in which hydrolysis will occur and produce the caustic mineral causation of cancer, with its destructive, proliferating, malignant growths.

Nature by natural cystic reservoir’s into which she attempts to drain the dangerous carbonates continuously produced in the blood fluids by the sodium habit of mankind, attempts to protect the body against what? Against cancer the final pathology of carbonate deposition and hydrolysis in all tissues except those of serous cavities in which hydrolysis does not occur and therefore where the caustic cancer cause does not arise from the carbonate source.

Edward Henty Smalpage
Edward Henty Smalpage (1895-1962), was an Australian doctor. He netered medical school at Sydney at age 16. He went into Military service after that. After leaving services on medical grounds (epilepsy), he cleared FRCS from England in 1921. In 1940 he published the book Cancer, it's Cause, Prevention and Cure.
