The author is a "Doctor of Surgical Chiropody" and had previously written several books on the crucial importance of foot health to overall health. ".He believes that foot imbalance is responsible for such 'degenerative diseases' as cancer rheumatic fever chronic fatigue diseases of the uterus sexual disturbances neuroses essential hypertension chronic alcoholism narcotic addiction eyestrain and dental caries. He postulates that proper foot care will do much to eliminate these ailments." ".The chain of events leading to the development of these diseases is described as follows. The modern shoe deforms the human footcauses the muscles to shrivel and leads to foot imbalance. Even the feet of infants are distorted because they are firmly tucked in under blankets or covered by tight stockings. Upon bearing weight the deformity of the feet leads to a rolling out of the legs that carries the femora into external rotation.This deprives the pelvis of its anterior supportand allows it to dip downward in front.The spine is therefore forced into exaggerated curves so that the abdominal space is reduced and the chest cavity is compressed. The vital organs and the blood vessels and nevers are displaced or abnormally stretched. The abnormal stresses lead to cancer of the breast stomach prostate and uterus. To substantiate his thesis the author offers case histories and statistics." From a review of another book by Dr. Wikler entitled "Your Feet Are Killing You" reviewed by I.
