Abscess

Definition:
      A collection of pus within a body cavity. According to Thomas Duskier, "The brighter the redness, the smaller will be the abscess. The softer the feeling and the darker the appearance the more extensive will be the destruction of the tissue. Thick yellow pus is termed 'healthy', thin watery and greenish pus is always bad, indicating prostration and difficulty in healing."

Symptoms:
      In an abscess we distinguish between the body or center and the sides or edges. The secretions are of different kinds, and upon them depend the benign or malignant character of the abscess. The discharge may consist of good or bad, of a thin, watery or thick, slimy, clammy, white, green, yellowish green, yellow or bloody, variegated, foul, offensive matter. Benign abscesses heal when the discharge ceases, the cavity or center and side close, and are covered with new skin, but a scar is generally left. A malignant abscess, on the contrary, gives no sign of healing, but rather inclines to get worse, and, if aggravated, to mortify.

Cause:
      An abscess is nature's way of purifying the body, bringing waste materials into a deposit that can be easily drawn out. Pus is formed by the loss of organic sulphur from cells, whereupon the cells decay. Herbs containing organic sulphur such as garlic, are used to rebuild and prevent this deficiency condition.
      The causes lie either in local injuries or in a defective blending of blood and (other) juices (liquids). But generally both circumstances unite in the development of an abscess.
      The basic cause of all abscesses, tumors, cysts, etc., stems back to an impure bloodstream, with its major cause being improper food intake. This condition causes poor action of liver and bowels, a faulty digestion, or disturbances in the lymphatic glands are generally responsible for the accumulation of impurities in the blood.
