“ Elimination, all struggle under an abnormal condition; for as soon as we cease eating we lose the stimulation which food gives the system and by which it takes care of these things.
Our physical food cells die by the thousands, and must be eliminated quickly or the blood stream will become filled with decaying substance which carries with it the touch of ptomain poisoning. There is no poison more deadly than ptomain and unless we throw out the waste of our own flesh we soon become saturated with it. ”

“ While fasting, the elimination through the pores of the skin is also most important–and hence good body massage and Turkish baths. Swimming, electrical baths are also good as they stimulate the molecular activity of the whole system.
Body message loosens the muscles and helps in breaking up old adhesions and errors of physical angles–a muscle which is too long will shorten when released and a too short muscle can be stretched to its full length. ”
