    The Basic Principles of Detoxification Cures

    The great efficacy of a whey cure can be fully grasped only when it is placed in the larger context of the detoxification cures used in naturopathic medicine and when one understands the basic principles of this school of medicine. *1
    In fact, by itself, whey does not directly cure all the diseases and disorders cited as being receptive to its active principles. Rather, it works in an indirect manner by positively altering the internal cellular environment, thereby removing the conditions responsible for the hatching and subsistence of the diseases in question. Here, we will consider how this is possible and examine the foundations on which this approach is based.
    According to naturopathic medicine, there is an ideal composition of the bodily fluids (blood, lymph, and extracellular and intracellular fluids) in which the cells are immersed; this allows for the optimum functioning of the organs and consequently the body as a whole. Any qualitative modification of these fluids represents a threat to health.
    These changes can occur when the internal cellular environment becomes overburdened with substances, such as toxins and poisons, that should not be present in the body or substances, such as uric acid and urea, that should not be present in such large quantities. The other possible cause of these changes is dietary deficiencies—when the body lacks the substances, such as vitamins and minerals, that it requires to maintain the fluids’ ideal composition. It is the first problem, the presence of excess amounts of certain substances in the internal environment, that we seek to remedy with detoxification remedies such as the whey cure.
    ILLNESS: AN ACCUMULATION OF TOXINS
    The concept of illness as a consequence of the presence of undesirable substances in the system is based on observation and can be verified by anybody. Individuals suffering from respiratory ailments blow their noses, cough, and expectorate to rid themselves of the substances that are burdening their alveoli (asthma), their bronchi (bronchitis), their throat (cough), their sinuses (sinusitis), or their nose (the common cold).
    The joints of people afflicted with rheumatism and arthritis are inflamed, blocked, and deformed by the presence of grit and crystalline precipitates.
    All skin disorders are due to the excretion of either acidic substances by the sudoriferous glands (eczema, skin that is cracked or split) or colloidal substances by the sebaceous glands (acne, boils, greasy skin, sweating, eczema).
    Excess food substances in the stomach and intestines can cause indigestion, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. When these substances are irritating or fermenting and putrefying, they cause inflammation of the mucous membranes (gastritis, enteritis, colitis) and the production of gas (flatulence, bloating).
    The entire gamut of cardiovascular diseases, to which 37 percent of all U.S. deaths are attributed, *2 is due to the presence of excess substances such as cholesterol and fatty acids that thicken the blood, become deposited on the vessels (arteriosclerosis), inflame the walls (phlebitis, arteritis), deform them (varicose veins), and clog them (heart attack, stroke, embolisms).
    In kidney diseases, the guilty substances are protein wastes; in obesity, fats; in cancer, carcinogenic substances; in allergies, allergens; and in stomach ulcers, acids.
    THE PROFOUND NATURE OF DISEASE
    Our ancient ancestors already knew, and it remains valid today, that the majority of illness is caused by the presence of undesirable substances in the body. These substances have
