A diet of skim-milk and white bread will cure malaria, and a diet of SKIM-MILK and oat-meal will cure kidney disease. During health the blood is always ALKALINE, while the tissues or nerves and ganglia or brain are always acidulous. NOW THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO IMPRESS UPON THE MIND, for it relates to my discovery of the WHITE SPARK PRINCIPLE. An acid acts like heat, while an alkali acts like cold. The molecules in an acid are rotating in orbits, while the molecules of an alkali rotate on an axis, so we can see how when the blood becomes acidulous as in disease WHITE SPARK CELLS OF LIFE CANNOT BE FORMED. SUGAR has proven itself a bane to humanity. It is a modern product and was not used by the ancients. Honey had a limited field as a luxury, and here I will say the high cost of luxuries has been a protective principle for poor people. Sugar has no limit of solution. Water will absorb it until an immobile syrup is formed, and glycerine, a product of grease, acts similar to sugar in the system. Syrup has a great affinity for LIME, and children who eat candy and sweet foods have bad teeth, as the lime required for the teeth is absorbed from the blood by the sugar. Any chemist knows the great affinity of syrup for lime, and this is why he makes the syrup of lime which is used in prescriptions where lime is required. Sugar acts as an acid, chemically, forming Saccarites with the bases or alkalis. Sugar destroys the natural alkaline state of the blood. There has been a great scare around Boston about a "NEW DISEASE." The doctors have various ideas about its nature and treatment. It is generally called ACIDOSIS and is supposed to be the result of eating too much sugar; but some doctors say it is AN EPIDEMIC and is not caused by sugar. In the disease the blood has been found to be acidulous. Sugar will fill the system with an embalming element, and thus the tissues are saturated with an element which acts on the system like ashes thrown on a fire. They extinguish it, and as sugar prevents oxidation in the system, the VACO-CELLS or "WHITE SPARKS" cannot form. There are times when electrical machines will produce only a few weak sparks and at other times powerful sparks are produced, and it has been proved that this state of non-electrical atmosphere is the cause of EPIDEMICS when the system is loaded with either sugar or gelatinous products of a meat diet. Fasting is often necessary in disease, for disease is usually a congestion of the blood and a distention of the blood vessels, and when we lessen the quantity of blood or the excessive pressure from the effects of stimulants, etc., we allow the blood vessels to get a grip on the blood and force it along. A dog or horse will never eat when he is sick.
