Evidence for intestinal toxemia - An inescapable clinical phenomenon

A diet high in protein causes predominance in the Intestine of proteolytic putrefactive bacteria which produce highly toxic compounds, some of which are absorbed. These compounds are Incompletely detoxified by the liver, and therefore enter the systemic circulation. The toxins cause or aggravate many disease states. Alleviation of pathology can be accomplished by use of such nontraumatic measur...
