Remember always that all diseases begin within the mind, barring diseases produced by wounds, fractures, etc.
Do not give microbes the power to produce disease. The only power that germs have to produce disease is the power given by a mental image, held in the mind of the germ faddist. This image is easily transferred to the minds of others. The poor little microbe, whose mission in life is to act as a scavenger for us, is blamed for that for which the mind of man alone is responsible.
Woe betide the little child with a sore throat, having one of these germ faddists gaze into her throat. He has such a strong mental image built up in his sub-conscious mind of diphtheria that he unconsciously and innocently transmits it to the sub-conscious mind of the child. The child may never develop diphtheria, but if it is at all sensitive it may in a year, or two years, or month, or week, develop a true case.
Such is our ignorance that we build up and bestow upon germs a power, which they do not possess, never can possess, outside of the images made in our minds. Germs are far beneath us in the scale of evolution, and we should always hold ourselves positive to them. The positive and developed man, obeying the laws of nature, has no fear of germs. Knowledge is power. Attain to knowledge and the mysteries of disease clear up as easily as fog before a noonday sun.
I hear you say, "But the bacteriologists have proven beyond all doubt that if they inject diphtheretic germs into a rabbit the rabbit invariably develops the disease."
