This evening, tissues and muscles were literally being rejuvenated. Ruburt was involved in a process when he initiated the symptoms, in which certain highly specific areas were directly affected, and their function impaired. Others areas then had to react by setting up their own systems, sometimes of counter-tension.

The basic, specific areas became largely inactive. They did not demand the same amount of nourishment. This is a simplification, but the cells were put in a kind of dry storage. To an extent the tissues involved became smaller, dry, less elastic, less demanding of nourishment. They curled up, so to speak.

The rest of the body, however, had to work around these difficulties. Certain alternate muscular cooperations were set up that served to keep overall muscular functions going, and kept the body walking under impaired conditions. A certain network of “small dams” were set up by the symptoms. These held back full circulation to the specific tissues.

Some of the soreness was the result of the expansion of tissue, the period between a new expansion and the resulting fresh nourishment sent to cellular structures. Finally this evening muscular expansion had gone as far as it could without a completely fresh influx, and the final breaking-down of the small dams. The sudden circulation flowed through the tissues that were unaccustomed to it, and further expanded them.
