In the old times people were strong and rugged like the savages are strong and rugged, but evolution has judged that man shall change into a sensitive and nervous type. In this responsive type wrong emotions and thoughts promptly produce suffering and pain. Most of the people do not recognize what it is like to effectively attain maximum health. Not just do they experience small ailments, such as indigestion, rheumatism, headaches, but they as well never feel completely or hearty well. They are unfamiliar to the pleasure of living. Life never thrills them: nothing quickens their blood: they have no time of vivid joy in other words, they don’t know how to live and they simply survive at a dying rate.
Again, most of the people are subjected to infectious illnesses and epidemics, yet, if they were actually well, they would be resistant. Instead, on the other hand, looking for immunity through successful attainment of maximum health, they are in search of it through the use of serums and vaccines, therefore adding to the burdens which the human body has to tolerate. All efforts in this direction are bound to conclude in failure and not success, for as quickly as one illness is suppressed the other one will appear.

A lot of people look upon sickness and disease as unavoidable, yet the fact is that health is the usual state and ill-health an irregularity. In tracing back weakness to its source, we discover, firstly, that it is because of defiance of natural law.
