>We live no longer in the age of great, thriving, voracious plagues, but in the age of cancer, diabetes, and neuroses, where parts of the human body make themselves autonomous to grow, to spread abundantly, and to destroy the human form. Thus, the question becomes legitimate, whether the cancer institutes that can be found in every country do not tend to spread cancer, rather than cure it. For the type of mind at work in those institutes is akin to the physical phenomena that are observed in cancer. Let those who deny this be reminded that it is this mental activity that produces cancer artificially, as for instance, with the aid of aromatic carbohydrates obtained from coal tar.

This is a specific work and specific topic.

And a bit of an explanation of the quote:
>Celsus, sanis omnia sana ("all is healthy to the healthy")
This is the important part. Otherwise one can say that all is sickness to the sick.
Similar ideas are that one can only get sick if he is susceptible to the illness, if his body has prepared itself to accept a specific type of illness.
One could say that these old ideas of sickness and health are like a metamorphosis gone wrong. Like the man who has a heart attack or commits murder because of a build-up of negative blood force within the body, it is possible that those focused on a destructive type of becoming are susceptible to diseases of mutation and rupture. Cancer is thus a disease specifically suited to the spiritual character of the time.

This speaks to the very origins of modern medicine, the great plagues and illnesses from sepsis. Modern man thus sees sickness, or at least its potential, everywhere - in response he seeks to perfect the human body even if by meams of replacement and mere mechanical functioning. This is in its very metaphysical law the same process as cancer.

People in the past were plagued by things worse than diabetes and obesity, such as diseases related to starvation. Ancient peoples had cancer, gout, club foot, heart disease, etc. etc. Modern medical technology is vastly preferable to ancient medicine, and if, for some reason, you disagree, you can reject modern medicine. Your country doesn't like that? Then, protest like the French. Bomb a doctor, politician, hospital, or gov building.

Ah a glowing nigger trying derail one of the few threads apropos of the current moment. Is that measely government wage really worth destroying the world? Instead of advocating for others to commit murder maybe you should defenestrate yourself.
