Aside from their other physiological functions, the menses are for the woman a monthly cleansing crisis through which Nature eliminates from her system considerable amounts of waste and morbid matter which, under a natural regime of life, would be discharged by means of the organs of depuration, that is, the lungs, skin, kidneys and bowels. ❋ Henry Lindlahr (1893)
Or, should depuration not take place, but congestion accumulate in the brain, it necessarily becomes phlegmatic. ❋ Unknown (2007)
According to one authority, “The process of depuration, in which shellfish are placed in sterile water for 48-72 hours to allow them to cleanse themselves, is effective against bacteria but not viruses.” ❋ CHERYL MENDELSON (2005)
It would have been still enfolded in the general depuration of the universe; and that arrogant being who calls himself Man, dissolved and scattered among the molecules of matter, would perhaps have remained for all time hidden in the number of mere possibilities. ❋ Morley, John, 1838-1923 (1905)
The intestines, kidneys, skin, mucous membranes and other organs of depuration are evidently not constructed or prepared to cope with inorganic, poisonous substances and to eliminate them completely. ❋ Henry Lindlahr (1893)
Thus, in all anemic diseases the blood is lacking in iron, which picks up the oxygen in the air cells of the lungs and carries it into the tissues, and in sodium, which combines with the carbonic acid (coalgas) that is constantly being liberated in the system and conveys it to the organs of depuration, especially the lungs and the skin. ❋ Henry Lindlahr (1893)
Elimination must begin in the cell, not in the organs of depuration. ❋ Henry Lindlahr (1893)
The alkaline blood takes up the uric acid, dissolves it and holds it in solution in the circulation until it is carried to the organs of depuration and eliminated in perspiration and urine. ❋ Henry Lindlahr (1893)
Obviously, Nature does not intend that these mineral elements should enter the organism in the inorganic form, and therefore the organs of depuration are not able to neutralize and eliminate them. ❋ Henry Lindlahr (1893)
As long as the vicarious monthly purification by means of the menses continues, the evil results of the torpid condition of the regular organs of depuration do not become so apparent. ❋ Henry Lindlahr (1893)
I had every reason to believe, directly due to the results of imperfect blood depuration incident on the irritability of his kidneys, which, retroactively, again allowed the uræmic condition to assume that dangerous degree that suddenly and very unexpectedly to his friends and family ushered the patient into eternity. ❋ Peter Charles Remondino (1886)
For its growth and nourishment, the liver is furnished with blood by the hepatic artery; but for the purpose of secretion and depuration, it is abundantly supplied with venous blood by the portal system, which is made up of veins from the spleen, stomach, pancreas, and intestines. ❋ Ray Vaughn Pierce (1877)
The torpid functions need arousing, the blood needs depuration, i.e., the elimination of corrupting matter, and the system requires alteratives to produce these salutary changes. ❋ Ray Vaughn Pierce (1877)
It is a necessary agent in depuration, or the process of purifying the animal economy, for it dissolves and holds in solution deleterious matter, which in this state may be expelled from the body. ❋ Ray Vaughn Pierce (1877)
They awaken the latent powers, quicken the tardy functions, check morbid deposits, dissolve hard concretions, remove obstructions, promote depuration, harmonize and restore the functions, equalize the circulation, and encourage the action of the nervous system. ❋ Ray Vaughn Pierce (1877)
Negro is a much more active organ of depuration than that of the White. ❋ Unknown (1848)
