In the previous chapters I have quoted the clogging-up by mucus as being the reason for disease and ageing. I have also proved the possibility of re-substitution of died-off cells. In view of the latter fact it cannot be denied that the entire stand-still of the human motor can be delayed for a long, long time, if the body is being built up and maintained by living sun-food from childhood on. At any rate the body thus nourished is far ahead of that of the bad and all-eater in that its building material is much more durable. In the right way of living the exchange of matter takes place to a much lesser degree, likewise the stress on the inner organs, especially the heart and the stomach. In the performance of greatest efforts the mucusless organism has not nearly the pulse-frequency of a much-eater. Merely through this saving of energy it is possible to mathematically figure out and prove an advantage as regards longevity. But can we perhaps even solve by this all-explaining mucus -constipation the last of all mysteries--death?

In life - endangering injuries and afflictions the brain and the heart are the organs whose disturbance of function finally ends with death. We can say that in most diseases death takes place through additional development of heart-illness. As regards these science has not by far spoken its last word, but we can say that the clogging up of the bloodvessels of the heart and the destruction of the tender heart-nerves through permanent re-poisoning of the blood is the last cause of death in all chronic diseases. Likewise leads the clogging-up of the tender blood-vessels in the brain and an eventually bursting of same (apoplexy), as well as any other entire clogging-up of vessels to a stand-still of all functions of life. Of course, other circumstances play also a part in it, for instance, insufficient supply of air in case of disease of the lungs. Science also mentions the excessive appearance of the white blood-corpuscles as the reason for death, This process of disease is regarded as a disease in itself, and called "Leukaemia"--white bloodedness, but better, in my opinion: more mucus than blood. Many other reasons are given for the cause of death.

If, perchance, a disease cannot be put into any of the better defined registers, it is given the name of "cachexy," which sounds very wise and means: bad condition of nourishment, decay. I now ask: what is really the killing poison? Modern medical science gives the bacilli as the causes for most of the diseases, thus showing that it also has the idea of a common fundamental factor for all diseases, the ageing and death, and undoubtedly a large part of all diseases and their consequences (death) are due to the bacilli. My experimental proof that mucus is the fundamental and main factor, differs from the bacillus -theory only in that just this mucus is the bed the precondition, the primary.

The excessive appearance of the white blood-corpuscles, i.e., of the white dead mucus, as compared with the red sugar and iron substances, is becoming dangerous to life. Red colored and sweet is the visible token of life and love, white, pale, colorless, bitter, the token of disease and overwhelming by mucus, the slow dying away of the individual.

The death-struggle or agony can only be regarded as a last crisis, a last effort of the organism to excrete mucus; a last fight of the still living cells against the dead ones and their death-poisons. If the white, dead cells, the mucus in the blood, gain the upper hand, there takes place not only a mechanical clogging-up in the heart, but also a chemical reformation, a decline, a total-poisoning, a sudden decay of the entire blood-supply--and the machine stops short "It has pleased God Almighty;" "we bend our knees before the mysterious power of death"--thus we speak with resignation.

"Uncertainty is the only tragedy of life. There is none other," says Peter Altenberg in his "Prodromes." Thus is also the last, the highest cause of all diseases, the ageing and the death, at least if unnatural, a spiritual one, a not-knowing, a sin which we have unconsciously committed and for which we are being punished undeservedly, but we are punished just the same, for in nature as well as in the civil book of laws, ignorance does not exempt from punishment.

The purpose of this article is to contribute towards the good fight against ignorance, this trap-door for so many poor men and women, and to spread knowledge which to the individual as well as to the people will be a blessing on body and spirit.
