Conclusions
1. Infection constituted the chief etiological factor in 60 per cent of a series of 200 cases of nutritional disorders.
2. Six representative cases have been selected from the original series for detailed discussion and analysis.
3. The prostate has been demonstrated to be a common focus of infection in the male, but one which is frequently overlooked, or inadequately treated.
4. Therapy must be directed toward eradication of all foci of infection, and toward restoration of vitamin and hormone deficiencies by complete substitution therapy, as herein defined.
5. Proper diet and substitution therapy, along with eradication of infection, in these cases attempts to restore to normal the chemical processes which have been disrupted. By so doing, the synergistic activity of vitamins and hormones can be re-established and normal nutrition and health maintained.
