24 FOREWORD 



protein response constitutes one of the most comprehensive prin- 

 ciples known to scientific therapeutics, and that the Proteals fur- 

 nish the practitioner with new weapons of genuine value in 

 combating a long list of intractable maladies of middle life and 

 old age, including anaemias, leukaemias, toxaemias, rheumatoid 

 conditions, goitre, arteriosclerosis, asthma, tuberculosis, psoriasis, 

 and cancer. The candid physician who has not had personal 

 experience in the use of the Proteals may advantageously reserve 

 judgment regarding the possibilities of the method until he has 

 reviewed the evidence as presented in these books. 



With a method so new there is necessarily much still to be 

 tested. Some of the open problems will be discussed in the 

 succeeding pages. But in the main the record here presented 

 deals with the definite achievements already in hand. The work 

 is by no means finished, but I repeat that it has passed far beyond 

 the experimental stage. Proteal therapy is to-day a verity. In 

 the hands of hundreds of practitioners it has proved its utility. 

 When the newly discovered physiological laws on which it is 

 based are generally known and recognized, the use of the method 

 will become universal. 



Such, at least, is the confident belief in which this book 

 the first attempt at comprehensive presentation of the Theory 

 and Practice of Proteal Therapy in its wider relations is offered 

 to the medical profession.
