Introduction
This book is an attempt to reveal the underlying principles of all therapies whether mechanical, structural, chemical, electrical, thermal, bacteriological or psychological. The FOUNDATION FOR ALL THERAPIES naturally rests upon the constitution of matter itself and its manifestation in organized forms as motion and function. Even when Nature is better understood, it does not free man from its laws and the conditions of matter. In order not to make this treatise too long, the many details of application of Polarity Principles have been avoided. Details cannot fit every individual, but principles and essences presented with a broader viewpoint of application and use in life are helpful to every seeker after Truth whether he be a physician or a student of life.
For forty years I searched for a principle in the healing arts which would include all forms of therapy and act as a common denominator, an intelligent answer, to all the numerous contradictory theories and claims existing today. Results which are obtained in all the various fields of medical, drugless and psychological applications indicate that a hidden agent -- a principle in man and in the forces of Nature's energies -- is the active factor overlooked by schools of science and theories taught today.
The problem of healing involves the harmonious relationship of man's inner energies to those of the without. The struggle is as old as mankind. The ideas and applications vary with each cycle and consciousness of individuals and races. In the early days the viewpoint was from within outward, from the energy centers within to the effects without.
Even though present systems have their origin in the previous ones, the underlying principles are practically forgotten, cast aside or declared unscientific today because the problems are now approached from a purely external angle, evaluating symptoms and phenomena as of immediate importance, instead of the causes which produce these effects. Present-day research is bent upon details of particulars without taking into consideration the finer types of forces which motivate the particles. In such a confusion, conscientious minds of thinkers and researchers will naturally look for an answer that could do justice to all and shed light on a dark road of misunderstanding and persecution of one group by another.
Necessity is the mother of invention. The expectation and the cry of suffering humanity brings to light, through effort, many new ways and means to solve the demands. Osteopathy, Chiropractic, Naprapathy[1], Zone Therapy[2], Suggestive Therapeutics[3], Psychiatry, Christian Science and many other new systems, beliefs, and ideas are in use today and favored by the public with a popular response.
While the well-established Allopathic and Homeopathic principles of medicine are diametrically opposed to each other, there is a Polarity principle which unites them both as outgoing and ingoing energy. It is the finer essence which is the principle of Homeopathy as brought forth by Dr. S. Hahneman[4]. Its keynote of "similia similibus curantur" - like cures similars - is directly opposed to the Allopathic principle of "contraria contrariis curantur" - contraries cure opposites. The fact that both methods produce results and exist side by side proves that the centrifugal current of quantity has curative effects in opposites while the centripetal current of quality or essence has curative effects in similars, as illustrated in Chart No. 2 of this book. BUT THIS NEW FACTOR OF POLARITY IN ACTION HAS NOT BEEN REALLY UNDERSTOOD NOR APPLIED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IN ANY FIELD OF THERAPY.
An inquiring mind wonders which is right and why. However, there is a mental solution to
