One has noticed that children when suffering from diarrhoea or other troubles tolerate boiled and canned milk better than the raw or pasteurized. One has concluded from that canned milk is more wholesome than raw or pasteurised. And in consequence one has introduced canned milk into the childs diet all over this country. Yet, all that such milk dies is plain suppression of the existing symptoms of the child. since it is devitalized by cooking. it has no food value. It cannot be assimilated because it contains no electromagnetic forces of the cow, as they have been destroyed by heat. It kills a calf in two weeks and a lamb in three weeks,. It causes in children symptoms which are of sycotic nature.
Industrial sugar is a suppressant. It has a great affinity for muscle,heart muscle included. To stimulate these is its primary effect,and people feel buoyed up. Yet, when this first action is over, the secondary comes on which is exactly the opposite, only much longer. the individual then feels the need for another dose. thinks instantly suppresses the secondary action of the preceding doses and peps him up again. sooner than he realizes he becomes entangled in this vicious circle from which salivation may be difficult,.
Only correct information of the subject and strong will power may save him. Candy eating children do not develop their muscle,s their heart remains weak and small. The great frequency at present of heart attacks where middle aged people unexpectedly drop dead come from excessive consumption of industrial sugar. Among races to to whom this sugar is unknown such a form of death does not exist.
Suppression explains why people who eat toxic foods crave toxic liquids. Gout is the pathological product of well-done meats. Coffee, tea, alcohols top the uric acids elimination and quiet down he uric acid symptoms. the secondary effects of these drinks in their turn cry for suppression which is established by well – done meats again,and so onion a circle.
In homoeopathic prescribing all such circumstances must be taken into consideration.

DISCUSSION.
DR.ROYAL E.S. HAYES: I am very glad that Dr.Bellokossy has brought up this subject It is very timely, not only for our professional and homoeopathic consideration but also because of things that are happening now and are going to be quite evident in the future. He teaches that retention his almost on a par with separation, although not of such immediately stultifying or advising our patients as to hygienes, but also in watching the course of action of our remedies.
There is quite a movement in this country now, among the hygienists, in teaching how to live so as to remove toxemia and prevent toxemia.
It is said in some quarters that 85 per cent of the people in this country do not employ the old school doctors, and I think that that may be approximately correct,because I, in my own practice,have people coming in every day who want to escape from the rigors of the old school treatment,who are afraid. who want to escape from the rigors of he old school treatment,who are afraid. They have learned that I dont favor an operation, or that I dont give those doubtful wonder drugs which they are losing faith in now.
DR.T.K. MOORE:I want to congratulate the essayist, who has come clear from Denver to give us this magnificent paper on this very important subject, one of the best papers on suppression I have ever heard., It gives us something we must think about in addition to our location and our regular line on down to concomitants. We had better add to that,m causes,which of course, includes suppressions.
DR.V.TABER CARR: This paper of Dr.Bellokossys is something unusual. We havent had any papers specializing in separations. It strikes right home, where I am trying to make homoeopathy do. The mental field is no exception to the ultimate effects of suppression,in fact, I think it is a most vicious and demoralizing form of suppression.
Take influenza, for instance- I can cute several cases in our mental institutions (and the same with all toxins and septic conditions) outside of the emotional states. If course, I think the emotional element also has the effect of suppression: in fact, it underlies the normal physical expression of various portions of the body. That is definitely illustrated in the effects on the gastronomic system,ulcer of the stomach, for instance.
To make it brief, there isnt a textbook on psychiatry nowadays that does not,in speaking of the cases that are regressing or being cured, say that some cases of insanity naturally clear up when there is some physical condition or discharge, for example, that is in evidence. That is mentioned in the psychiatrists books. They dont say that is the result of suppression,but we know that it is.
DR.J.W. WAFFENSMITH;Toxemia due to drugs or the multitudinous other factors of modern civilization (as someone the other day said, “modern syphilization”) is an important factor in the treatment of all chronic conditions, in my opinion. We hear about the scientific application of drugs, remedies, and so forth, but we forget the scientific application of est. the pace of our modern life is of such a nature that there should be an interval of rest to break the continuous application of this modern method of hurry and rush, and it is my opinion that one of the prime factors in the relief of toxemia is the scientific application of rest in some form or other.
DR.ANTHONY SHUPIS: I should like to ask the doctor how he has arrived at the conclusion that the prevalence of heart disease in the present generation can be traced to the refinement of sugar. I believe that there is something an the modern world that causes that; whether you can definitely state that it is sugar, I dont know. The old school, I believe, at one time stated that the reason for the increase in tertiary syphilitic manifestations in the heart and blood vessels )(coronary heart diseases and dilatation of the aortic arch might be due to the suppression of the disease force by the use of arsenicals.
Therefore in the vegetables,and not washing of the vegetables,and the subsequent of parasites on arsenicals might itself be poisonous to the blood vessels. I think such a generalized statement as regards sugar is a little too premature.
DR.EDWARD WHITMONT: This pointy brings me to a thought. Very often I have read comparisons between uncivilized people and our present civilization, comparing the food that thy take and tracing the illnesses that they dont or they do have.
I am very strong on diets personally, yet I think the doctor has forgotten that there are mental attitudes,and those mental attitudes in the whole way of personally expression,shall we say, are entirely different from our own,and very many things that may be blamed on food differences might really be the to the mental differences and mental attitudes and differences of these people.
I never heard of to psychiatrist being consulted by a tribe of Kaffirs, for instance; on the other hand,a case comes to my mind of the patient with rectal fistula that did not clear up,having twenty years existence on Nitric acid or Psorinum,which were constitutional to the case, yet was really brought to a complete stands till and closure by Saccharum lactis. It did attack the fistula, and Saccharum lactis did more than Lac defloratum which, however, was also necessary.
Also we must not lose sight of homoeopathic suppression. Homoeopathic suppression at times can be much worse than allopathic-the remedy that is close, local, with particular similarity, and does not cover the whole case, can raise more trouble, I believe,than any of the worst,and it may kill, too.
DR.F.K.BELLOKOSSY [closing]: I want to answer the question of Dr.Shupis. I have studied the effect of sugar on the human body for thirty years, and I have observed the effects of sugar on my patients almost every day for thirty gears,and I have found that sugar always weakens the muscular system and weakens,especially, the heart. Truly, it weakens the whole nervous system terribly. It disorganizes the brain more than almost anything there is in wrong food.
I have discovered that these hysterias that we find in people are often caused by sugar-Kleptomania, mendacity often, maybe almost always,come from sugar.
The first case of sugar intoxication that I diagnosed happened twenty-five years ago. A lady came tone and when I had examined her I said, “Madam,all your troubles come from sugar.

She said, “I never eat sugar.”.
It almost floored me because I thought Have diagnosis, but the next day i met the maid of that lady and I asked her now much sugar her lady are, and she said, “Oh she eats it all day, and even when she eats meat,she eats sugar.” She lived on sugar.
