ABSCESSES: BOILS (CARBUNCLES)
Boils or carbuncles are swellings of the skin, which often develop around the hair follicles. Sometimes there is just one, but often there are more. It is a painful condition and arising from toxins in the bloodstream, again mostly due to the wrong foods. In these cases the best course is often a revision of the diet, and frequently I also advise a period of fasting, as this allows the body to detoxify itself. I can assure you that any patient who suffers from boils or carbuncles with regularity, will be more than willing to co-operate. As always, proper elimination is necessary for good health. When the nervous system is confused by a misunderstanding of our physical ailments and our anatomy, the circulation of the blood is always interfered with and this, in turn, causes constipation. The framework of the body must be seen in its entirety and it is not only the bowels, the lymph glands, the nerves, the arteries or the veins that need help. It is possible, and even likely, that there are more than one or two factors that require attention.This is also the case with varicose veins which result from blockage of the ventricles (or veins) that return the blood to the kidneys and heart. A circulatory system with abscesses, varicose veins or haemorrhoids, is usually a sign of an inefficient bowel function and diminished elimination. Some people tell me in all sincerity that they have no bowel problems, yet, when quizzed, they tell me that they have a bowel movement every second or third day. Nevertheless they don’t consider this unusual. One of the basic rules of good health is that whatever is imported, ought to be exported within a period of twenty-four hours. Abscesses, boils, carbuncles, etc. cannot be expected to disappear unless the toxicity problem has been resolved.*31\147\2*
