1. All acute diseases from a simple cold to measles, scarlet fever, pneumonia and all others, represent Natures effort to remove from the system some form of morbid matter dangerous to health and life. John Wilson, M. D.
2. But if acute diseases be arrested or suppressed before they have run their natural course, or before the vital force has got time to re-establish normal conditions then the purifying and healing efforts are stopped, the morbid matter which nature was trying to eliminate is thrown back into the system and the condition is changed into chronic disease. Suppression of acute diseases is the principal cause of chronic disease. Chronic disease is not possible, acute disease has been suppressed at sometime in the past.
John Wilson, M. D.
