CHAPTER
XVI:
Blood
Purification
If
one
could
maintain
his
blood
in
absolute
purity
disease
would
be
virtually
impossible.
The
blood
is
the
life.
You
are
what
you
are
through
the
influence
of
the
blood
that
circulates
throughout
your
entire
body.
Now,
a
proper
supply
of
pure
blood,
as
previously
stated,
depends
first
of
all
upon
proper
digestion
and
assimilation.
This
involves
naturally
a
strengthening
diet
with
a
supply
of
foods
that
contain
all
of
the
elements
required
by
the
body
and
which
will
permit
of
a
pure
and
perfect
condition
of
the
blood.
Next
in
importance
are
the
chemical
changes
which
take
place
in
this
life-giving
fluid
as
it
passes
through
the
lungs.
Following
this,
the
purity
of
the
life
stream
depends
upon
the
various
organs
that
have
to
do
with
elimination;
that
is
to
say,
the
throwing
off
from
the
blood
of
the
various
accumulated
wastes
and
poisons
that
are
inimical
to
life.
Now
you
might
call
this
the
blood-
purifying
process.
The
removal
of
these
various
waste
elements
from
the
blood
depends
entirely
upon
the
proper
activity
of
the
depurating
organs.
I
have
already
referred
to
the
great
importance
of
an
active
alimentary
canal.
You
might
say
that
the
lower
part
of
the
alimentary
canal
is
the
sewer
of
the
body.
It
removes
a
large
amount
of
the
impurities.
In
some
cases
of
fasting
that
I
have
personally
supervised,
there
has
been
a
daily
action
of
the
bowels
merely
from
the
waste
matter
that
has
accumulated.
The
debris
that
is
removed
from
the
body
in
this
way
does
not
by
any
means
consist
entirely
of
the
remains
of
food
that
is
not
absorbed
by
the
circulatory
system.
The
blood
is
purified
to
a
large
extent
by
the
various
waste
elements
that
seek
the
alimentary
canal
for
an
outlet.
If
these
waste
products
were
allowed
to
remain
in
the
circulation
they
would
produce
seriously
injurious
results.
Therefore,
in
the
general
scheme
of
blood
purification
an
active
alimentary
canal
is
of
first
importance.
