A Physiological Study of the Curative Power of Fasting, together
with a New Theory of the Relation of Food to Human Vitality.
By HEREWARD CARRINGTON, Member of the Society for Psychical Research,
London, etc.
In this work new theories, some revolutionary in the extreme, are
advanced as to the nature of disease, the action of drugs and
stimulants, the germ theory, the quantity of food necessary to sustain
life, of cancer, insanity, pain, fatigue, sleep, death, the causation
and maintenance of bodily heat and of human vitality.
The recent attempts at creation of life are criticised, and altogether
this is one of the most remarkable books that have been published for
many years.
