deranged state of the organism is the outgrowth of violating our biological requirements, and is no chance or haphazard condition. It is this diseased condition that creates an environment favourable to the mutation of bacteria into those associated with specific disease, and to their increasing virulence and proliferation. A state of internal cleanliness, therefore, is essential for health and well-being.

Virulent bacteria soon die in this environment for want of suitable nourishment. If the microbe is to have any part in causing disease, it must find an organism that produces suitable soil for its metabolic activities.
