The interesting points about this theory are:
First, that it is capable of mathematical demonstration, and is therefore true beyond controversy;
Second, that it absolutely overthrows current theories of the sours of life and strength, driving the materialistic physiologist from the field by proving that life energy is not the product of functional action, and that most muscle workers would be healthier, stronger and longer find on one-half, and most brain workers on one-tenth of the quantity of food they now consume. It gives good ground also for the argument that mind is not produced by the body, but that mind produces the body; that the brain does not produce thought, but that thought produces the brain; that there is no chemistry by which a piece of bread can become mind or thought;
Third, it proves that most of the conclusions of the pseudo-science of medicine have been based on false premises, and are erroneous; and that most of the sick are greatly hindered in recovery by feeding, dosing and other interference.
It gives us, also a solid foundation upon which we may base a really scientific investigation of the problems the origin of life, and of the immortality of the soul; but that is beyond the scope of this article.
