Book excerpt: Excerpt from Human Vitality and Efficiency Under Prolonged Restricted Diet It has not been the custom of the Nutrition Laboratory to direct its researches primarily for economic and sociological purposes; yet in View of its long-continued study of people with a low intake of food and conceivably low metabolism, and the not remote possibility that America might be obliged to undergo privations similar to those in Germany, although probably in less degree, it seemed eminently fitting for the Laboratory to study a question so important from the stand points of patriotism, economy, and physiology, as the effect upon the metabolism of a reduction in diet. The extensive research which is reported in this publication is, in the last analysis, a furthering of the initial problem studied by the Nutrition Laboratory, i. E., a search for conditions resulting in subnormal metabolism. It was planned in detail in the spring of 1917 and carried out during the winter of 1917 - 18 with a selected group of normal individuals whose body-weight was lowered as a result of quantitative reductions in their diet. Before giving the details and discussing the results of this research, a general history will be given of the experimental work leading up to the present study, together with brief abstracts and a critique of the work of other investigators on metabolism with a low intake of food.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vitality, Fasting and Nutrition: A Physiological Study of the Curative Power of Fasting, Together With a New Theory of the Relation of Food to Human Vitality Most certainly, fasting will never become a popular method of cure, for the reason that it involves too much self-denial! It is all very well to live well for a number of years, and then tothinkandfeelwecanavoidtheresultsbytakingapillora powder. That, unfortunately. Is impossible. Nature does not work in that way, but always by gradual proem. As Doctor Keith 80 well remarked, Plea for a Simpler Life, p. A starving doctor would not, I fear.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Newer Knowledge of Nutrition: The Use of Food for the Preservation of Vitality and Health The literature which has a bearing on the applica tion of modern research to the practical problems of human nutrition has become somewhat extensive and is scattered in technical journals, and is not readily accessible, or easy to read in proper sequence. During the present year the author had the pleasure of presenting an interpretation of this literature in the Thomas Clarence Cutter Lectures at the Harvard Medical School. Believing that the publication of these lectures would serve to answer many of the questions which have been asked in numerous letters from the public, they have been edited and presented in their present form.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.
