During the time these processes have been going on, the process of
absorption has been taking place whereby this digested food has been
utilized in building up the tissue cells that are being constantly
worn out by the activities of the body. The digested products are
being taken up by the serous circulation and carried to every cell in
the body. That which one cell gives off as an elimination, another
may take up as food, finding just the chemical composition necessary
to its life and development. Finally all of the waste material
is collected and eliminated from the body through the organs of
elimination. Innate Intelligence has provided a wonderful sewerage
system for the purpose of taking care of the sewage of the body. This
system is much more perfect than any system ever invented by man, but
it is possible for it to get out of order. The remarkable thing about
it is that the Intelligence within the body is capable of correcting
the disorders if the interference with transmission to the affected
parts is removed. All that is necessary from the outside is to
remove that which is interfering with the transmission of the mental
impulses.
As long as there is interference with the transmission of mental
impulses we may apply all the laws and principles of hygiene and
sanitation, yet the internal condition will not be hygienic or
sanitary. We may, by an artificial means, remove the waste material
that has accumulated, but this will not stop the process of
accumulation.
In view of the fact that the above mentioned processes of absorption
and elimination are taking place, let us assume that there is a
subluxation at the kidney place (K.P.) impinging the nerves and
interfering with the transmission of mental impulses to the kidneys.
With decreased current the kidneys are unable to perform their normal
amount of function and as a result the waste material, poisons, or
in other words the sewage that is supposed to pass out through this
channel of excretion, are retained in the body. The poison thus
retained is spread over the entire body and there is likely to be
excessive perspiration which will have a strong odor of urine. This
is because the skin, in its excretory function, is called upon to
throw off the waste material which normally should be excreted by the
kidneys. Although there is no perspiration there will still be a very
offensive and objectionable urinary odor from the patient’s body.
From a hygienic standpoint it is necessary for that patient to bathe
very often, but no matter how often he bathes, there is still that
odor of urine and it is impossible for him to get rid of it. One may
thoroughly and frequently cleanse that patient externally, but there
will remain that unsanitary internal condition.
