| A Strategy for Health By: Dr. Alan Goldhamer "My patients believed in magic. They believed that despite their bad habits, indiscretions, and lack of personal fortitude, the magic of modern medicine somehow would enable them to make a few small changes that required minimal effort and would instantly overcome years of abuse to their health. When I began my practice more than 20 years ago, I still had a lot to learn. I thought, my patients would follow my advice diligently and get outstanding results. I found that people did not want to make drastic lifestyle changes, or give up their bad habits." |
| Arthritis & Joint Pain By: Dr. Alan Goldhamer "In cultures where people eat very small quantities of animal fat and animal protein, there is a much lower incidence of all kinds of arthritis. When these people relocate to a city or country where people eat the same type of diet that we do in the United States, their incidence of arthritis increases dramatically. Many arthritis patients have fasted at the TrueNorth Health Center. During the fasting period, it is common for joint pain and swelling to totally disappear. We recommend at the Center a plant-based diet of fresh fruits, vegetables, and the variable addition of nuts, grains, and legumes. This diet is low in fat, low in protein, high in fiber, and contains no animal products." |
| Illness Is Not Inevitable By: Dr. William Esser ND. D.C "Not many people are ready to believe that a normal human being is immune to all disease. The clergy has often preached that disease and death result from the wrath of God; the medical profession has done the best job of teaching the uncertainty of health. The result of such teaching is the building of fear complexes, which reduce vitality and lower health standards. The causes of fear must go. Man has nothing to fear except himself and his disease-building, life-shortening habits. When the microscope enlarged tiny organisms to a size, which made them, look ferocious and dangerous a wave of fear swept the land. The "virus" has taken over to explain disease." |
| The Medical Approach To Health And Disease; The Erroneous Notion of "Cure" By: rawfoodexplained.com "The idea behind medicine is more than 2,500 years old and, like most ideas from behind the dark ages, it's very unscientific. Medicine itself means a curative or healing substance. The medical man always has a course of treatment to suggest, invariably a prescription of drugs and tests. The idea is that the tests will reveal what is wrong and thereby determine what drugs to prescribe or what steps to take, as in surgery. There is no healing other than self-healing. All modalities can interfere with healing, none can aid healing." |
| The Philosophy & Practice Of Nature Cure By: Leah Leneman "Nature Cure is most emphatically an alternative to conventional medicine. Naturopaths do not view the body as a battleground in which hostile germs and viruses must be vanquished by ever-more-powerful wonder drugs, but as an organism capable of curing itself if allowed to do so without outside interference. Nature itself is the great ‘curer’ but most of us have long since forgotten how to live in harmony with nature. Nature Cure provides no quick and easy solutions. It demands a degree of commitment, which is generally absent in those who depend on doctors and prescriptions." |
| Naturopathy vs Allopathy By: Dr. Brett Smith N.D. "Naturopathy, or “nature cure” is a method of healing that employs various natural means to empower an individual to achieve the highest possible level of health. Allopathic medicine is also known as conventional, mainstream, traditional, orthodox, modern medicine. It involves mostly drugs, surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy as treatment modalities. Naturopathic physicians provide recommendations on lifestyle, diet, and exercise. Naturopathic medicine addresses the cause, whereby allopathic medicine treats the symptoms.” |
| The Nature Of Disease: Its Cause & Purpose By: Hereward Carrington, Ph.D "The Hygienist believes that so- called "diseases" represent merely the bodily states or conditions, nearly always self-caused which are manifested in a series of symptoms, but which are in themselves the very processes of "cure." Instead of treating symptoms, we should aim at the disease itself—or rather at the causes of the so-called disease. Once we have removed these causes the disease disappears and the symptoms vanish. The patient is then restored to health." |
| The Cause & Cure For All Disease By: Mario Bello A brief history about the philosophy of the hygienic movement. A fascinating comprehensive look at the pioneers of Natural Hygiene and their rejection of the germ theory. Basically these former medical doctors believed in disease prevention and they dealt with physiological problems by having their patients fast with only water, giving the body a chance to heal itself without the use of drugs or antibiotics. |
