John Tilden's books, Toxemia Explained, written in 1926 is the classic in the field. This is a foundation work that I learned about from Dr. Jensen. Jensen spoke in terms of enervation....being too exhausted to keep up with healthy living. He got that idea, I believe from Tilden. Tilden was an MD. The entire book is online.

I am feeling too tired--too enevated right now--
to do the work i would like
tonight, so looking at some of Wrenn's stuff on
Toxin guides before going to bed.

The classic work in the field is John Tilden MD's book
called Toxemia Explained, written in 1926. Tilden
was a hero of Dr. Bernard Jensen.

There is really only one disease of the body. It is called Toxemia. Many doctors of natural hygiene have proven this in their work, but common knowledge of the way the body works, along with common sense, will also support this statement. In his book "Toxemia Explained" Dr. John Tilden explains the definition of Toxemia as natures effort to eliminate toxins from the blood. He goes on to state that all so-called diseases are crises of Toxemia. His book he goes in deep detail of the cause of Toxemia and how to prevent it. He gives excellent information about Toxemia. Anyone interested in learning more about Toxemia should read this book. Simply put, the main causes of Toxemia are overeating and eating low quality foods. You are the one responsible for taking these foods into your body. Once you stop and start cleaning out the remnants of what you have already ingested, you will begin experiencing true health.

There are several stages to Toxemia. Medical doctors have named diseases for each of these stages. The first stage is usually referred to as diarrhea or constipation. The last stage of Toxemia is what doctors call cancer. There are many stages in between. Toxemia is always reversible until it reaches the final stage, and nobody knows when that last stage will occur. Even a doctor doesn't know. What this means is that no matter how sick you may appear or how bad your disease may be, you should never give up hope or quit trying. 99.9% of any so-called disease is caused by your diet, your lifestyle, and the environment in which you choose to live. Toxemia is a self-inflicted disease of the body. You are in control of it. If you take care of your body, you will not get Toxemia. Eat only small amounts of the best foods, think positive thoughts, live in the cleanest environment possible and you will avoid Toxemia.

Dr. Tilden wrote the book "Toxemia Explained" in 1926 and the information stands valid to this day, because it is based on the truth. If today's medical doctors really want to prevent disease and cure sick people, they should learn about Toxemia. As Dr. Tilden stated in his book:

"Medical science is founded on a false premise. Namely, that disease is caused by extraneous influences, and that drugs are something that cures or palliates discomfort. The term 'medical' means pertaining to medicine or the practice of medicine. Anything used in a remedial way carries the idea of curing, healing, correcting, or affording relief; and this doctoring is all done without any clear understanding of cause."

No one knows your body better than you do. Most people would rather listen to an unhealthy person just because they have a degree and wear a white coat. It makes no sense to listen to doctors; instead listen to your own body. If you do choose to listen to what others tell you about your body, doesn't it make much more sense to seek advice from a healthy person? If you went to a gym, would you take advice from and strive to be like a person who looked unhealthy? So, why take advice from an unhealthy doctor? Stand outside any hospital in America and you will see doctors who are overweight and smoking cigarettes. What does that tell you?

I suggest reading this small book by Tilden
for a good foundation.

TIlden writes:

"    Stimulants, continued over a long period, cause a gradual deterioration, and finally, unless the habit is stopped, end fatally. Toxin is a stimulant and a natural product of metabolism. When the body is normal, the toxin is removed as fast as generated; but when any enervating habit is practiced beyond the power of recuperation, the toxin accumulates, and Toxemia is established--which means that the body has lost its protecting power"

The Causes of Enervation

Tilden writes: (apologies...he was writing in an age...
when the used the terms "Man" to include "Woman."
Jensen did the same often...

The Causes of Enervation

    TO UNDERSTAND disease, it is necessary to know cause; and, as Toxemia is the cause of all diseases, and as enervation--an enervated body and mind--is the cause of Toxemia, it behooves those who are sick and want to get well, and who want to know how to stay well, to know what causes enervation.

    A normal, healthy person is one who is poised (self-controlled), and who has no nerve-destroying habits. A self-controlled man is a man who is not controlled, kicked, cuffed, or driven by habits.

    Man is either the master of himself, or his appetite and sensual pleasures master him. If the former, he enjoys health until worn out; and he should go down at from ninety to one hundred and fifty years of age. If he is inclined to the latter, yet has his habits more or less under control--is moderate--he may live from sixty to ninety years. But if he is a sensualist--is controlled by habits and passions, sits up after bedtime to take a last smoke or eat a lunch or gets up in the night and smokes (I knew a celebrated physician who used tobacco to secure sleep; he died at fifty-four years of age), or takes a drink to quiet his nerves and make him sleep, or goes the limit venereally--he becomes irritable, grouchy, and dies prematurely.

    Excesses transform a man into a disgusting brute. The word "brute" is used here to express the state of one being devoid of self-control. Those of fine constitutions are often converted into neurotics, who have left health and comfort far behind. Many know comfort only for short periods, and then at the instigation of drugs or stimulants. "
