appear to the novice and newcomer who has no prior

knowledge of what to expect, that they are indeed becoming
worse instead of better as the body commences its process
of regeneration. This process is often referred to as "detox",
yet this is really only a very minor part of the process as our
body sets about restoring the damage that has occurred
over the whole of our lifetime. This is a massive task for
even a relatively young person, it is especially so if we
happen to be 50 or 60 years of age or so. Let us always
bear in mind that it requires the complete and total
replacement of every cell in our bodies. Yet, if we will only
persevere, we will find, in due course that slowly and
inevitably surely, after that initial period, we will reap the
benefits of our efforts.
This process
of
Dr. Fielder between 2 medically educated hygienic doctors

Dr. Vetrano & Dr. Haag
"regeneration" often manifests itself in the form of what is

orthodoxly termed as "acute" disease. A fever, the flu,
rashes, boils, or just a common cold, are not unusual forms
for it to take. It may well be accompanied by pain, for pain
is a part of the healing process. There can be swellings and
inflammation too. And if we will accept these for what they
are, a part of the healing process, and not medicate them
and further suppress them, then we assuredly will find, in
due course, that we are better than we previously were. To
not fear the process, for fear can of itself surely kill us. And
by continuing our regime of Hygienic Living we continue to
reap the benfits and regain the joy of living.
I say to all, whilst there is life there is hope. Do not give up

hope. There is another way other than that of medicine, be
they orthodox or alternative, and that is the Hygienic Way.
Try it, I am sure you will not be disappointed.
John
"Do not give up hope. There is another way

other than that of medicine, be it orthodox or
alternative, and that is the Hygienic Way. Try
it, I am sure you will not be disappointed."

CHINESE HERB AGAINST MALARIA

New Chinese drug effective in
reducing malaria deaths
Trial of a drug derived from an ancient
Chinese herb has been shown to reduce
the risk of death in malaria patients, says
a study. Researchers found a clear
benefit over standard treatment of
quinine on them.
http://www.hindustantimes.com
2 of 5 02/10/2010 14:08
/news/181_1473788,001100020006.htm
COMMENT:
All drugs, even Chinese herbs, create big problems long-term,
and create new diseases. Herbs may suppress the outward
malaria symptoms, but do not remove the actual disease, since
the cause is untouched.
Instead follow the advice of Dr. Shelton: "During the acute stage
the malarial patient should be cared for as in any other acute
"diseases" - rest, warmth, fasting. Dr. Weger says: "Rigid dietary
discipline must be enforced after fever subsides. No quinine or
other medicines are given." (Orthopathy 1941)
HOMEOPATHY INEFFECTIVE
Homeopathy ineffective, study finds
People who take homeopathic medicines
may as well be taking a sugar pill,
according to the latest review that finds
this form of complementary therapy acts
no better than a placebo. ... Practitioners
of homeopathic medicine, invented in the
late 1700s by German physician Samuel
Hahnemann, believe that the weaker the
solution, the more effective the medicine.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems
/200508/s1447471.htm
COMMENT:
Homeopathy allows weak solutions of drugs. This is a small step
towards Natural Hygiene, which does not allow any drugs, and is
strongly against suppressing disease symptoms.The less
amount of toxic drugs given, the better, and the faster true
recovery will take place. Therefore homeopathy must be less
symptom-suppressing than medical drugs and herbs, and
thereby allow more true healing.
So our conclusion must be that drugs and medical herbs are
most likely far more ineffective than homeopathy.
TOXIC POTATO CHIPS

Lawsuit filed over labeling potato
chips and French fries
California Attorney General Bill
Lockyer sued nine fast-food giants
yesterday, saying the law requires them
to tell the public their potato chips and
French fries contain a toxic chemical.
Lockyer sought a court order compelling
the companies to place warnings on their
cooked potato products because they
contain higher levels of a suspected
carcinogen, acrylamide, than other
foods.

COMMENT:
Applauded. But it is best to avoid all deep-fried foods, which can
be devastating for long-term health. Natural Hygiene advice: eat
as raw as possible, avoid the wrong fats & oils, and avoid
cooked starches like potato. Eat fresh minimally-cooked
non-processed foods instead.
TUBERCULOSIS
Africa Epidemic: What we can do
The World Health Organization
announced that tuberculosis is cutting a
deadly swath across the Africa, killing
500,000 people every year. The ravaged
immune systems of those who are
HIV-positive fall prey to the TB bacteria.
The rate at which TB is spreading in
Africa can only be described as
terrifying.With five new vaccines being
tested by the end of this year, there's
hope for better treatments.
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion
/238186_africaed.html
COMMENT:
Vaccines are not the answer to tuberculosis. Bacteria are not the
cause.
Dr. Shelton writes:
"Tuberculosis has a developing stage of several years,
beginning with enervation, toxemia, catarrh of the stomach,
infection of the glands of the lungs, and finally, tuberculosis. It is
the endpoint of an evolutionary process begun with toxemic
crises. Recovery almost never occurs under the prevailing
medical care.
Prevention: Fresh air, an abundance of sunshine, wholesome
outdoor play, plenty of fresh fruits and green vegetables,
cleanliness and plenty of rest and sleep will prevent
tuberculosis. It is largely an outgrowth of the social injustices and
economic inequalities of our hypertrophied commercialism."
ANTIOXIDANTS IN COFFEE
Coffee a good source of antioxidants
If your hand is trembling over your third
coffee of the morning, do not despair.
You could be getting more healthy
antioxidants from your liquid fix than are
from the fruit or vegetables you eat,
according to a study of US diets.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/medicine/story
/0,11381,1558559,00.html
COMMENT:
Yes, coffee may contain many nutrients, but this is of little value
4 of 5 02/10/2010 14:08
for us. The toxins in coffee - which is what gives us the

stimulation and the fix - take precedence. The body has to use
all energy on toxin-removal, just to avoid serious damage. And
whatever energy is left will rarely be enough to extract any
nutrients. Read here about another popular food item with the
same effects.

you see he was just shuffling

When I was in school I knew
he was running down, but
there was nothing I could do
except continuing to
graduate. So when I
2 of 6 02/10/2010 14:10
graduated I just took over the health school. But we never got to
run it together as was his plan, so that neither of us would be
overworked.
It was a big health school. It had a capacity of 30 people. And

that's big, you know, when you are taking care of all these
people, and you have to be called every night, for a crisis. And
the staff, and you've got the whole management of the whole
school. You are a doctor, a manager, a lecturer, you do all the
editing, you publish the magazine. I had to do all that, and learn all
that, in my first year of working.
In 1965 after I graduated and passed my state boards, I started

working solely at the health school. I now did everything.
Tosca was 15 when I graduated, and that's when she started
working with Shelton. He couldn't work anymore, he couldn't get
up. That's exactly when she started to come over in the evenings,
in the afternoon, after school. I ran the health school and she did
the books with him. Shelton was bed-ridden, pretty much. He still
could talk. When he couldn't get enough energy to push the air out
to be heard, he would whisper. It came later that he couldn't talk.
And it was after Tosca started working with Shelton that she put
out the first hygienic newsletter for children, that was probably at
the age of 15 or 16, when she started that newsletter. And it
caught on – she had so many subscribers. It was called the New
Dawn, just like the hygienic review but it was geared for children,
for young people, and had a lot of articles in there. It was darling,
I still have some copies of it.
She had a whole mailing list, that's how she got her money to
publish it. Everybody in ANHS knew that she were putting this
paper out, so they all wanted their children to have it. She
hand-printed it, she had this gel, like this old type mimeograph
material that the teachers use, it was a gel and ink and a paint
tray. She would lay out the sheet on this gel and it would copy.
That was the first copying machine, hand-done copies on this gel.
It took her about a month to put it out, but she got it out every
month. The information was just out of her knowledge, and she
had little stories in it.
The patients at the health

school were very good, I
gave them 2 lectures a week.
A live lecture twice a week,
and every other day in the
morning they would have
audio-tapes. And later when I
had my own health school I
lectured every morning. I
could give a short lecture and
then demonstrate exercises,
and give a longer hygienic
lecture on the other days.
When there was a crisis, the

nurses or the night girl at the
health school would call me
and say please come over
and see what's going on. At
Dr. Shelton & Tosca by the pool
least 3 times a week I had to
get up and go to the retreat in the middle of the night – go to the
3 of 6 02/10/2010 14:10
health school and take care of the problem. Sometimes all night.
It was not too far, but I had to drive all the way up on the
highway, then go almost half a mile, and then up his driveway.
Because Tosca had horses we had to have a gate at my house.

Shelton didn't have a gate. So my place was completely fenced,
and I would have to go out the front gate in the middle of the night
you know and it wasn't that much fun. Being alone, go out that
gate, and shut it – you didn't know who was there. You didn't
know what could happen in the middle of the night.
Finally we made a driveway between our two places, between

the health school and my house, so that I didn't have to go on the
highway, because it was kind of scary at night. Then we had a
cattle guard, so that the horses wouldn't get out. So all I had to
do was drive over. We were neighbors, ½ a mile or so, our
properties were adjacent.
Now I didn't feel I had enough physiology and anatomy, and the
basic sciences – I wanted deeper study. I didn't just want the
superficial Hygiene that any layman can have, can read books and
get that knowledge. I wanted to get into the physiology of it, and
teach Hygiene more specifically, more scientifically. That's why I
went to chiropractic school in the first place, and also continued
studying after I graduated.
Somebody told me about the Kansas City Naturopathic School.

So I started going there every month for 3 days. Friday evenings
we would have classes from about 6 to 9, and then all day
Saturday, and Sunday morning . Then we would have a couple of
tests, and when we passed we got credit for all those hours. I
flew there each month. Shelton had all these degrees – why
shouldn't I have some more?
At the health school we had a 30 patients limit, but we got so full

at that time that I purchased 2 mobile homes and put them on
Shelton's property. And he had a septic tank system built so I
could take the extra people in my mobile home place. Instead of
giving me a raise, Shelton let me just put my excess people over
there. That would be my raise you know. I would be working
double. I worked my trailers, plus I worked the health school too.
Many times I was taking care of fifty people. Then it got so
crowded that I had to split my shift, I had to do half one day and
half the other day. But at the time when I was doing that we did
have an intern there, who could sort of look after them.
And I still went once a month to Kansas City for the college work.
And one time we had to go to The University of Mexico in Mexico
City for the course in surgery.
After that I studied homeopathy, because I had studied some of
that in the naturopathic school, and I went over to Florida and
took the homeopathic state board examination to become a
homeopath. This was probably another 2 years later, when I was
32 or something. I didn't finish my naturopathic before I went into
homeopathy. I should have, because I had only 11 more hours to
go, probably only one weekend.
Next I started studying

medicine, that's what
happened. And I got my
medical degree because of all

naturopathic school, that counted in my favor, plus these extra

studies. Just adding on. A college in Oakville Ontario, the United
American Medical College, gave me the degree, it was before
1975. I didn't have to go there, because a doctor who was a
teacher there gave me an examination in Florida and issued the
degree. It wasn't tough, because I had studied very well in
chiropractic school, and we have the same textbooks. The only
thing we don't learn is the medical pharmacology.
Dr. Shelton was sick then. He was sick 18 or 19 years, and he

died around 1983. Tosca worked for him. He would dictate
articles for her, she would type them out. She was the only one
who could understand him. She worked a long time for Shelton.
Right after high school Tosca didn't want to go to college, instead

she wanted to go to secretarial school for a while. She took a
very good course as a secretary in one of the best schools in San
Antonio. Right out of high school at 18. So she was working for
Shelton and she was the only one that could understand him after
his voice left. Tosca had also been working with Shelton through
her high school years. Right after high school she'd come home
and stay in his room with him while I was running the health
school. She would be in there writing articles with him, all
afternoon. She did this until she was 25. For 10 years. She
started reading with him, working with him, when she was 13 or
14, pretty much.
Tosca edited Fasting for Renewal of Life, she was the one who
wrote it with Shelton. She is the one who typed up the articles he
would dictate from his notes. And they'd cut and paste and put
the book together. I edited his magazines, but Tosca edited the
books with him. And there was another one she did with him,
Hygienic Care of Children. When ANHS wanted to publish it the
first time and re-do it, she re-read that thing and edited it with
Shelton.

Seedmeal, blood-and-bone meal, and the two sorts of limes are

the most important ingredients. These alone will grow a great-
looking garden.
Guano and kelpmeal may be harder to obtain but including them
adds considerable "fortitude" to the growing plants and greatly
increases the nutritional content of your vegetables.
"Complete organic fertilizer is created

animal-feed suppliers in bulk sacks of

Go as far down the list as you can afford to, but if you can't find
the more exotic materials I wouldn't worry overly much. If money
is a concern that stops you from obtaining kelp or guano, please
consider this: in my opinion, a person can't spend too much
money creating maximum nutrition in their food because any
money spent here saves heaps in health costs of all sorts – and
how do you place a money value on the experience of suffering?
COF works out to be less costly than chicken manure composts

or Dynamic Lifter, which is pelletized chicken manure sold in
Australia, because it is half again stronger. Unlike Lifter, it has no
odour.
MATERIALS
Seedmeals are normally used as

animal feed supplements (mainly for
horses and dairy cattle) and are a
by-product of extracting oil from
canola seeds, cotton seeds, coconut
meat (called coprameal), flax seeds
(linseedmeal), soybeans, etc.
Most seedmeals analyse (NPK) about 6-4-2, although coprameal

is about one-third weaker and for this reason its use is not highly
recommended. However, if coprameal was the only oilseed waste
I could obtain I would be glad to use it.
The amount of minor nutrients – calcium, magnesium and trace
nutrient minerals – varies enormously from meal to meal and lot to
lot; this depends upon the soil quality that produced the oil seeds.
Because most broadacre farm soils are severely depleted, most
seedmeals in commercial trade are probably rather poor in terms
of supplying nutrients other than NPK.
Seedmeals will not be sold by their plant nutrient content, but are
rated by their protein content because of their main use--animal
feed. As a rough rule of thumb, for every six percent protein the
meal will contain one percent nitrogen.
If more than one sort of meal is available, choose which ever type
is the cheapest per unit of protein because the largest portion of
the cost of distantly-produced sorts is usually freight. Sources are
animal feed dealers and farm stores, usually in sacks weighing
from 50 lbs to 40 kg depending on your country. Seedmeals are
stable and will store for years if kept dry and protected from mice
in a metal rubbish bin.
Canolaseedmeal is currently the cheapest seedmeal in Tasmania
where because canola oil is being produced here. When I lived in
Oregon I used cottonseed meal from California. People in the
3 of 9 02/10/2010 14:11
midwestern USA will probably find soybean meal the most

obtainable. Those in the South of the USA will probably use
cottonseed meal.
I am certain to receive complaints and objections from some
readers about the pesticide and herbicide residues they are
certain will be in these seedmeals. All I can say to such people is
that I don't worry overmuch about this. Most toxic residues are
oil-soluble and are removed when the oil is extracted from the
seed. The waste of this process (seedmeal) is a relatively clean
substance. Besides, this industrial waste is then mixed into soil
where it is thoroughly decomposed before it becomes fertilizer.
Besides, in this industrial civilization of ours, the only way to obtain
fairly clean soil amendments is to grow them entirely yourself, in
other words, garden only with composts and manures produced
organically. This restriction is beyond the ability of most of us to
attain.
"In the midwestern USA - soybean meal.

In the South of the USA - cottonseed meal.
In Tasmania - canolaseed meal."
Lime(s). There are two useful sorts: "agricultural lime," which is

nearly pure calcium carbonate; and then there is dolomitic lime, a
variety of limestone containing both calcium and magnesium
carbonates, usually in more or less equal amounts. (Do not use
quicklime, burnt lime, hydrated lime, or other "hot" limes.) If you
had to choose one lime you're probably better off using dolomite,
but best off by far is using a mixture of the two types. Lime is not
expensive if bought in 25-50 kg sacks from a farm store. The
whole subject of liming gets DEEP! I cannot deal with the
complexity in this short article. The bottom line is that even if your
garden has been limed, even if by soil test its pH is quite
acceptable, use lime(s) in the fertilizer mix because vegetables
need calcium and magnesium as nutrients, and in the right
balance, which is about 4-8 parts calcium to each part of
magnesium. That is why I stress using a mixture of two sorts of
limes, so as to produce that 4-8 to 1 ratio.
Phosphate rock or guano slightly boosts phosphorus levels and

is also rich in trace elements.
Kelpmeal seems quite expensive but a 25 kg sack will last the

average gardener many years and will supply a wide range of
trace minerals and growth regulators that act like plant vitamins,
increasing plant resistance to cold, frost and other stresses. I
suggest that you purchase your kelpmeal by price; some places
have much higher labour costs so kelpmeal from Scandinavia
costs heaps more than the same product from Korea.
PREPLANT AND SIDE DRESS
Preplant: atop each 10 square metres of raised bed or each 20

metres of planting row, uniformly broadcast 4 to 6 litres of
fertilizer. Hoe or spade the fertilizer in, blending well. If you "no
dig" your garden, just spread it. Soil animals will eat it and mix it in
for you. This amount provides a degree of fertility sufficient to
grow carrots, beets, parsley, beans, peas, perhaps enough for
leaf lettuce, and other 'low-demand' vegetables. Clay soil usually
needs a generous six litres per 10 sq. metres for the first few
years until it has become saturated with nutrients; then it'll need
less to maintain itself. If using less-potent coprameal as the basis
4 of 9 02/10/2010 14:11
of your mixture, err on the side of being generous.
Side dress: A few weeks after

seedlings have come up, sprinkle
small amounts of fertilizer around
them, thinly covering the area that
the root system will grow into over
the next few weeks. As the plants
grow, side dress every three or
four weeks, placing each dusting
further from the plants' centres. Each side dressing will take a bit
more fertilizer than the last. As a rough guide on how much to
use, side dress about four to six additional litres per ten square
metres of bed, total, during a full crop cycle.
Side dress anything you want to make grow FAST, like broccoli,
tomatoes, capsicums, pumpkins, etc. If an application provokes
no growth response, side dressing wasn't needed so do it no
more.
"Side dress anything you want to make

grow FAST, like broccoli, tomatoes,
capsicums, pumpkins."
WHY NOT FERTILIZE WITH MANURE
Once animal manures were about the only garden fertilizer,

except where there were no flush toilets. Manure was the soil
conditioner, the soil loosener, the increaser of soil moisture
retentiveness, the source of the high levels of nutrients most sorts
of vegetables demand. That method is so deeply set in peoples'
awareness that I find it is hard to get people to consider anything
else. But there are reasons to consider other methods than
dependence on manures.
A century ago soils generally were far less degraded than they
are at present, so the manures produced by animals eating from
those soils were more potent – were useful as fertilizer. These
days, manure does not necessarily equal fertilizer.
A century ago people had a far higher understanding of the

differences among animal manures and they carefully chose a
material whose properties suited their purpose. It was generally
understood that there were two sorts of horse manure: "long" and
"short." And there were a great many horses to make it – well-fed
working horses that had to be in fit condition, not sickly hobby
horses. There was cow, sheep, chicken, perhaps hog manure,
too.
MANURES
Here's a brief rundown on these manures.
Short horse manure is free of bedding of any kind. It is a

reasonably potent substance if the horse has been properly fed.
After careful composting with fresh garden vegetation, short
horse will grow a pretty decent-looking garden, if used in large
quantities. By proper feeding I mean not some sorry nag having to
graze from a depleted paddock. I mean a horse eating top quality
hay and fresh grass from a fertile field. The owners of that
5 of 9 02/10/2010 14:11
well-cared-for horse may also make sure it gets high-protein

grain. It is possible to find high-quality horse manure these days,
but most of what is offered the gardener these days is not that
good.
Long manure is horse manure plus the bedding in the horse's stall.
In the old days that bedding was usually straw. "Long" has the
advantage that the bedding soaks up urine, which contains about
half the nutrients exiting the animal. It has the disadvantage of the
bedding, which is very low in nitrogen. If long manure is to have
much fertilizing effect it must first be thoroughly composted.
Properly composted long manure makes a low-potency product
that is quite useful for growing crops such as fodder turnips,
Swedes, potatoes, beans, carrots and beetroot – these are often
called low-demand vegetables.
These days horses are usually bedded on sawdust, a far less

valuable substance than straw. Sawdust takes forever to
decompose and if very much of it is put in your garden without
having fully decomposed, it will tie up the fertility of your soil for a
year or more, actually worsening vegetable growth. To
decompose sawdusty horse manure in a compost heap can take
over a year and several turnings with thorough waterings to
remoisten it. If the starting material was about as much sawdust
as manure, make that two years to decompose. And if the
starting material was mainly sawdust, make it three years. I have
found that after thorough composting sawdusty horse manure is
best used as a surface mulch under fruit trees and cane fruit. It is
not fertilizer.
"However, I urge you to regularly add

only thin toppings of animal manure, or
compost."
Cow manure plus the

bedding below those cows
has about the same value as
long horse manure. If the
bedding is straw and the
manure is thoroughly
composted, it acts like weak
fertilizer. If much
unbroken-down sawdust is
present, it acts like the
reverse of fertilizer.
I maintain my garden soil's

organic matter with feedlot
manure. At a price of under
$25 per cubic metre
delivered to me in loads of
7-8 metres, it is about the
best value I know of available in northern Tasmania. This manure
has little fertilizing value. Using enough to try to produce a strong
fertilizing effect would thoroughly disorder my soil.
Mushroom "compost" is cow poo plus bedding straw. It has been

only partially decomposed by the mushroom spawn and if spread
under trees or berry plants as a mulch, will grow them quite
nicely. However, unless you can buy it in bulk for around
$25/cubic metre instead of in plastic bags holding about 20 litres
each for three dollars each (exceeding $100/cu metre), then I
6 of 9 02/10/2010 14:11
believe its cost greatly exceeds its benefits. It has slightly more
fertilizing value than feedlot waste but not strong enough to grow
really big vegetables, nor balanced enough to grow vegetables of
high nutritional content. You might get a second crop of
mushrooms however, adding to its value.
Sheep manure is usually pure manure, in fertilizing value about

like short horse manure. When purchased in bags for a few
dollars each the cost may exceed the benefits.
Poultry manure is very potent stuff, especially if nearly pure.

Dynamic Lifter is an Australian product — pelletized chicken poo.
Chicken manure is best regarded as a strong fertilizer, not as a
soil building substance. If used exclusively the crops get more
than enough fertility before the soil gets enough organic matter,
so your garden's organic matter content may run down, the soil
becoming ever lower on humus the more chicken manure you use.
Pure fresh chicken poo can also be mixed with straw or garden
waste and composted first. This is a better way to use it. Poultry
manure, usually a form of seed waste, produces vegetables of
higher nutritional content than does manure from ruminants,
usually a form of leafy grass waste.
ORGANIC MATTER - THIN LAYER
Most forms of organic matter we can buy are not potent enough
by themselves to grow a good garden. So I do not recommend
using most manures as fertilizers. Manures and composts and
organic industrial wastes are, however, a useful and necessary
source of organic matter.
Adding organic matter is one thing every garden demands, so

long as it is not overdone. So I suggest that before sowing or
transplanting you always spread a thin topping of compost, or
well-rotted manure, or other processed plant waste (mint straw,
poppy trash, etc), and rake it into the surface. This little bit
maintains organic matter levels nicely. Working partially
decomposed organic matter into the surface few centimetres
won't disorder the entire soil ecology the way you can disorder it
by deeply digging in larger quantities of it. That's because the
surface is where there's lots of oxygen to encourage soil
organisms. There, right on the surface, half-finished organic
matter will be rapidly decomposed by worms and other small soil
animals, and will gradually be transported deeper as the soil life
moves about, excreting deeper down in digested form
(decomposed) what they've eaten near the surface.
"Before sowing or transplanting - always

spread a thin topping of compost, manure,
or processed plant waste, and rake it into
the surface."
Highly nutritious vegetables come only from soil containing enough

organic matter. But the process of gardening usually causes a
rapid loss of soil organic matter. It must be replaced on an
ongoing basis. However, I urge you to regularly add only thin
toppings of animal manure and/or compost and/or organic
industrial waste. The reasons for this frugality have much to do
with maximizing the nutritional content of your food.
By a thin topping of decomposed organic matter I mean a layer
7 of 9 02/10/2010 14:11
only ½ to one cm thick. In a year or two that slight but repeated

addition will cause your soil to fill with earthworms, your soil will
retain more moisture and become looser and easier to work, your
plants will be healthier and have fewer problems with insects or
diseases. More than that small amount is not merely a waste – it
is actually a harm, because too much will lower the nutritional
content of your food. If that statement challenges your beliefs or
understanding, I am sorry. But it is a true statement to the best of
my knowledge. Proving it here would be beyond the scope of an
inexpensive book.
I refer this earnestly inquiring person to a website I create,
http://www.soilandhealth.org/ Follow the links there to the
Agricultural Library and in that library read all the materials by
William Albrecht, Donald Hopkins and Sir Albert Howard.
COMPOST
Besides bringing in feedlot waste I also make compost. After all

one must dispose of old garden vegetation and kitchen garbage
somehow. However, the entire output of organic waste from any
vegie garden is not nearly enough, after composting, to cover the
soil one half centimetre deep once a year. Not even enough to
cover half the garden that deep.
But if two additional volumes of horse, cow
or sheep manure and about 5% soil by
volume were mixed into the waste
vegetation generated by a garden, and the
mixture properly composted, that might be
enough to make a half-centimetre layer
once a year. And if the manure used, cow,
horse or sheep, were of the highest
possible quality and purity (no sawdust),
and your climate offered HOT summers that cause organic matter
to decompose rapidly and release its nutrients fast, then the
compost you make with it might grow a fairly decent garden.
However, I find it cheaper and far easier to buy a load of
semi-decomposed industrial organic waste every year or two than
to seek out and haul in fresh pure high-quality manure and make
compost with it.
And then I use COF, complete organic fertilizer, as described

above. But there is no reason nor need to use chemical fertilizer!

The symptoms of any disease are characteristic of the part

the tissue that is affected and the degree of the affection that
lends individuality to disease. All the specific characters of
disease are derived from the tissue or organ affected and not
from some specific character of the "disease" itself. Disease is
not an entity.
The reason for calling one form of disease catarrh, another

diarrhea, or appendicitis or phrenitis, or tonsilitis, or metritis, or
nephritis, or asthma or headache, etc., is not because of any real
essential difference in the "disease," nor even in the cause of the
"disease," but rather because of the difference in location. Each
organ has its own way of acting and feeling and this gives rise to
"different" symptoms. The real difference in one disease and
"another" disease is in the structure and function of the organ
affected. All disease is essentially one, every form having
essentially the same general characteristics and, at basis, due to
the same causes.
Catarrhal inflammation may

exist in any mucous surface

inflammation may begin in

these "diseases." Hay fever is but an aggravated case of catarrh.
Bronchial asthma is a bronchial catarrh.
The symptoms in these "diseases" are fundamentally the same.

The distinguishing symptoms are those of location or structure.
Asthma is a special disease only because it is located in the

bronchial tubes and not in the nasal passage or colon.
Dr. Tilden sagely observes that if the structural changes occurring
in the nasal mucosa during an attack of hay fever, or in the
bronchial mucosa during an attack of asthma, were also to occur
in the neck of the womb their presence there would afford a
complete and adequate explanation of the phenomena of
dysmenorrhea or painful menstruation. "This simile," he adds:
"can be carried to every passage and cavity of the human body
that is lined with mucous membrane. The fact is, there is no
difference between a catarrhal state of one part of the body and
that of some other part."
The same blood and flesh condition that causes asthma can and
does cause uterine and ovarine diseases to develop and exist at
the same time the asthma exists. The asthma is not the cause of
the uterine troubles nor vice versa. They both stem from the same
fundamental cause.

"All 'diseases' by whatever name they are called

are one and the same thing"
Disease is a Unit
Dr. Benjamin Rush, who signed the

Declaration of Independence (1776, USA),
and who also insisted, when the
Constitution was being framed, that
provisions for medical liberty equal to
that of religious and political liberty be
made, also accepted the idea of the
unity of disease. Dr. Rush was one of
the greatest minds of the Revolutionary
period, a scientist and painstaking
Benjamin Rush, 1745 - 1813 investigator. He declared:
"Disease is as much a unit as fever. . . . Its different seats and

degrees should no more be multiplied into different diseases
than the numerous and different effects of heat and light upon
our globe should be multiplied into a plurality of suns.
"Science has much to deplore from

the multiplication of disease. It is as
repugnant to truth in medicine as
polytheism is to truth in religion. The
physician who considers every
different affection of the different parts
of the same system as distinct
diseases, when they arise from one
cause, resembles the Indian or
African savage who considers water,
dew, ice, frost, and snow as distinct
essences; while the physician who considers the morbid
affections of every part of the body, however diversified they
may be in their form or degree, as derived from one cause,
resembles the philosopher who considers dew, ice, frost, and
snow as different modifications of water, and as derived simply
from the absence of heat."
We agree perfectly with Dr. Rush in placing those who see in

every "abnormal" manifestation of life a different and specific
disease on the intellectual level of savages.
"Disease should no more be multiplied into

different diseases than the numerous and different
effects of heat and light upon our globe should be
multiplied into a plurality of suns."
THE ROAD TO KNOWLEDGE IN MEDICINE WILL BE
4 of 6 02/10/2010 14:12
SHORTENED
Dr. Benjamin Rush:

"By the rejection of the artificial
arrangement of diseases, a
revolution must follow in
medicine. . . .
The road to knowledge in
medicine by this means will
likewise be shortened; so that a young man will be able to
qualify himself to practice physic at a much less expense
of time and labor than formerly, as a child would learn to
read and write by the help of the Roman alphabet, instead
of Chinese characters.
WHAT DO YOU PREFER - THE ROMAN OR CHINESE

ALPHABET?
Herbert M. Shelton, Human Life - Its Philosophies and Laws,

1928
"We agree with placing those who see in every

"abnormal" manifestation of life a different and
specific disease on the intellectual level of
savages."
Note: there is also a unity of disease and health.

Review's Deficiency
Home Page Deficiencies: The insufficiency of necessary food substances, such as
carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins, enzymes etc., lead to
breakdown of cells, tissues and organs which is given names of
diseases, according to its location.
Enervation
John Henry Tilden, M.D., formulated a theory of the cause of disease
as due to a recurring cycle of enervation and toxemia.
Enervation is the reduction or loss of energy occasioned by
1. the lack of rest or sleep, or
2. the excessive use of emotion, negative thoughts, worry, stress,
or
3. the overdoing of physical actions, overeating etc.
THE TOXEMIA - ENERVATION CYCLE

Enervation leads to a reduction of the body's ability to digest,
absorb, assimilate and excrete body wastes - thus leading to a
retention of wastes in the cells and tissues and thereby causing
disease.
Disease, in turn, causes a depletion of the body's energies,
requiring more energy to maintain the normal state of
homeostasis than ordinarily needed. This excess expenditure of
power leads to a slowdown in bodily function, which is followed
2 of 4 02/10/2010 14:14
by an increased retention of bodily toxins in a cycle as follows:
This ingenious cycle of enervation and toxemia as being the

cause of all diseases (barring accidents or trauma) may be
regarded as absolutely true if you add the additional factor of
deficiencies (which is omitted in the theory).
All body-parts are affected by toxins

The next important thing to be understood is this - the function of the blood and
its circulation. Related to this is the understanding of the lymph circulation, the
collateral circulatory system.
All food and beverages which are consumed finally enter the bloodstream and
are circulated in an endless flow to all bodily parts. All the food nutrients are
supplied to every cell and all cellular wastes are removed in this unceasing
dual function.
Now, if disease occurs in one bodily organ or part from the presence of toxins
or food excesses or uneliminated cellular wastes and excretions, you may be
certain that these same wastes are being carried to all bodily organs and cells
by this same bloodstream.
"These same wastes are being carried to all bodily organs

and cells by this same bloodstream"
Each body-part responds differently to toxins

The weakest organ breaks down first manifesting disease. In time, the next
weakest or overworked organ indicates malfunction, and is given a name of
disease. The important thing to remember is that all bodily parts and cells are
affected at the same time, with the weakest part manifesting first, followed by
the next weakest.
Likewise, in the reverse manner, when you detoxicate the body by reducing
the amount of food ingested, either partially (by a restricted diet or juice
program), or totally, (by fasting or abstaining from all food except for the use
of water), the blood removes all excessive wastes from all bodily parts and
cells at the same time, a certain amount each day.

cautiously at first, and for only short periods. Gradually I lengthened the periods between the enemas. Then, at

Did I find that my patients required longer time in which to get well? Did I find that they developed symptoms of
intestinal poisoning? No. I found

that bowel function after the fast is much more efficient if enemas have not been used.
"The fasting body is capable of breaking up (digesting) all germs, viruses and
parasites, visible and invisible and using them as food. It is fully capable of protecting
itself."
If the fast has not been long, the first movement is often very foul. But this foulness never
gets into the blood stream as is popularly believed. I once cared for a man who had used
enemas so long they no longer induced bowel movements. He would take an enema one
morning and expel the water the following morning.
There was never any evidence that any of this water was absorbed.
There were no symptoms of poisoning.
There was no decrease in the sense of thirst.
There was no increase in urination.
The amount of water expelled the following morning was the same as that injected the
morning before.
If toxins are absorbed from the colon they would certainly be more readily and more abundantly absorbed when
the feces are liquified, as in the above case, than when the feces are in semi-solid form. There is no more
reason why the colon should (or does) absorb fecal matter held in it for some time than there is why the bladder
should absorb urine held in it for hours before being voided.
The facts revealed by the study of the bears show that the fasting body is capable of breaking up (digesting) all
germs, viruses and parasites, visible and invisible and using them as food. It is fully capable of protecting itself.
Observations of nature, both in the wild state, in the domestic state and in human beings are sufficient
to show beyond doubt that the enema is not a necessary or a helpful expedient. Despite all the propaganda that
has been employed to popularize the enema and all the claims that have been made for it, the enema is an evil.

Q: What about enemas while fasting?

A: Many years ago, when I first started out I fasted many times while using enemas (colon cleansing). My
experiences were negative, I often got weak and dizzy and experienced two blackouts. So I stopped the enemas,
and never had any problems after that. Later I found out the Drs. Cursio and Shelton had had similar experiences,
and also recommended against enemas.

THE LAWS OF LIFE
Review's
(Also called The Laws of Vitality by Dr. Robert Walter)
Home Page
Dr. Robert Walter formulated "Life's Great Law" as follows:
"Every living cell in the organized body is endowed with an
instinct of self-preservation, sustained by a force inherent in the
organism, usually called vital force or life, the success of whose work
is directly proportioned to the amount of the force, and inversely to
the degree of its activity."

VITAL DEVELOPMENT AND HOW TO SECURE IT

AN EXACT SCIENCE OF HEALTH
by Robert Walter M.D.
2 of 4 02/10/2010 14:16
Out from the invisible realm of power comes all power, whose
manifestations, however, can never exceed its source. This power of
life comes to us as a daily income which we cannot anticipate, a fact
which prevents any man from alienating his inheritance by early
dissipations, for the facts prove that he may still attain to long years of
usefulness if he "ceases to do evil and learns to do well."
But while we cannot alienate our inheritance we may deplete our

reservoir of power and so appear to borrow on the future. "As thy
days so shall thy strength be," is as good science as it is religion; we
may borrow through the use of stimulants, from the stock of power
already possessed, which stimulants while they exhaust the reservoir,
prevent recuperation, and make chronic invalids, but do not necessarily
appreciably shorten life. The feeblest may yet become strongest if
youth and inherent capacity continue, and full recuperation is permitted.
Time is the important element in such a case; the invalid must learn to
live by faith, and await the accumulation of power which he can
become conscious of only by spending, in the doing of which be delays
or prevents recovery. It is the stimulating and toning methods of
present-day practice that has filled our country with chronic invalids.
Recuperation is prevented because of the desire of physician and
friends to see, and the patient to feel his improvement, which ceases,
in a measure, at least, in the very act of making it obvious.
The development of power through

gymnastics is another excellent form of
development. But it must be conducted with
prudence.
A good illustration of both power and method
was observed in Boston's strong man thirty
years ago. This man had developed capacity
to lift 2700 pounds, which fact is surely
excellent testimony to the value of the
methods pursued. What were these methods? He went to his
gymnasium once daily and lifted all that he could, adding each day a
pound or two to the previous day's record.
The balance of the twenty-four hours was devoted to recuperation

through rest, no further severe labors or taxations being imposed, so
that he returned each day fully prepared for a repetition of his lift. Does
any one suppose that if he had lifted all he could three times per day
that he could have developed his enormous strength? We believe the
reader will agree that only the most complete rest, alternating with
exercise, could have produced the result. But even then the
development was abnormal and excessive, and ended in heart-failure
and death.
A better form of development is carried out in our schools and

colleges, also in debating societies and political contests, all of which
constitute the arena of social and political development. The first
teaches "the young idea how to shoot;" the second is intended to make
men capable and wise, laying deeply the foundations for future
success; the third makes ready men, while the last develops men into
citizens, which, by the very fact of their development, makes their
country great.
In all these cases recuperation through rest is quite as important as the

exercise. Continuous study defeats the object in view; rest
corresponding to the activity rather than violent exercise, will be found
essential to success.

Energy - Its Oneness and Unity As the Chief

Factor in Health and Disease
2 of 4 02/10/2010 14:18
(How It Acts Under 2 Different Conditions)
by Dr. Stanley S. Bass
The chief factor in all living creatures and

life forms is Energy, Life Force or Vital
Force, the Life Principle which does all the
work in the body at all times. When it is
present, the organism is alive. When it is
absent, death exists.
The greater the amount of energy

which is present in the body, the greater the ability to use and
express the energy in vital action.
The lower the amount of energy present, the more restricted
the amount of work and vital action the organism is able to
express.
Energy is oneness. There is only one energy in existence. Its many

forms of expression vary according to the nature of the substance it
is expressing through.
A) In man, in a normal state of health, it expresses its

activities in eating, digestion, assimilation, nourishment of
cells and tissues, growth, repair, elimination of food and body
wastes, etc. this same energy is used by all the senses in
thinking, feeling, emoting, tasting, smelling, hearing, etc.
B) In a state of illness or disease, it is that very same energy

acting in the body which is called forth to rally its forces to
evict the offending toxins, poisons or threat to the vital
domains or the body's existence, to restore the conditions to
normal.
To paraphrase this as principles, we may logically state that:
Health is energy expressing itself in the body under conditions

which are normal.
Disease is energy expressing itself in the body under
conditions which are abnormal.
...
The Oneness of Disease
3 of 4 02/10/2010 14:18
All diseases without exception obtain their

energy to manifest through the tissues from
this one energy source or vital force.
The proof of this is that no symptoms or
stages of diseases occur in a dead body
which has lost its vital force. These
responses can occur only in a living body
possessed of vital force.

to saturated body-fat. This physical
cause for overweight (carbohydrates) has been written about a lot over the last decade.
Conclusion: the possibly biggest cause of over-weight today is

eating too much sugar & starches
Removal of body-fat will most easily take place when our blood is
free of sugar/glucose. Therefore, we must break the chain of
adding sugar/glucose to the blood. This will enable fat-loss at the
most rapid rate. We'll get back to this in later articles.
Difficulties: Sugar is highly addictive, due to the insulin

mechanism. Also, teaching our bodies to use fat for energy
(instead of sugar) can take several days of extreme sluggishness,
causing many to give up. We'll get back to these problems.
Possible analysis: How does this fit into the toxemia-deficiency-

enervation causes-of-disease? Perhaps as "over-eating of a
nutrient (sugar)" creating "wastes" (stored in fat-layers)? Our
need for sugar/carbohydrates is supposedly very small. We'll try
to sort this out later....
SUMMARY
By using a Natural Hygiene approach, a Natural Hygiene way of
looking at disease, we now can evaluate different weightloss
strategies more easily.
In this magazine issue we have included a weight loss article

about enervation: Read about how we can use a spiritual
technique to increase body vitality in The Body and The Spirit.
Quote: "Food addiction is serious and, like other addictions,
progressive. Few genuine addicts have ever recovered without a
spiritual basis."

vividly color our personal interpretations. It may be that you're not a religious
person and you've got me pegged as a holy roller. Or perhaps you are religious
and you wonder if I'm from some cult that collects money in airports. I'm neither
(honest!), but what's important to get you free from the food fix is not what I am
but what you are.
If you can get past the binge/diet syndrome by some other means, terrific. I
couldn't. I'd stressed my resolve and my willpower until, like overworked
peasants, they chose to revolt. That insidious urge to smooth life's rough edges
with a nibble that could turn into a nightmare would overtake me just when I was
convinced that I had everything under control. My intelligence and good intentions
were of no more use than lighting fixtures in a house with no wiring. I needed
power and I didn't have it. I needed to tap into a Higher Power, one that would
always be there.
"It was such a strange notion. My problem had seemed so

physical."

at first, and it may not make sense to you until you realize that, as human beings,
you and I are like icebergs. What people see, our physical selves, is only the tip
of who we are. There's lots more beneath the surface. We're splendid beings
with complex emotions and intellects, and underlying our hearts, minds, and
bodies is a spiritual essence. It is uniquely ours, yet it connects us to every living
thing. It connects us to Life itself.
The part of you that shows, your body, is important
because it is a part of you and you are important.
You can think of your body as the vehicle by which
you journey through this life, as your radio receiver
for picking up the signals of the outside world, or as
an instrument in an orchestra, allowing you to play
your music for the rest of us. A symphony needs
French horns and oboes, cellos and violins, tinkling
little triangles, and booming bass drums. You might
even be a grand piano!
Abusing food can interfere with your ability to
appreciate your special physical self. In an all-out
binge, it's necessary to, in effect, cut off diplomatic
relations between the body and the mind. Since it's a rare person who
consciously wants to be miserable, most people who binge separate their
conscious (thinking) selves from their sensory (physical) selves by reading
working driving or watching television while they eat. They may absentmindedly
grab snacks throughout the day or tastes while cooking a meal. Swearing off the
distractions that remove you from the present moment may seem like the
antidote, but it isn't. If you have the need to binge, you will find a way to shut off
your mind - with all its "shoulds" and "oughts" and "know betters" - and go for the
food.
"Most people who binge separate their conscious (thinking)

selves from their sensory (physical) selves by reading,
working, driving or watching television while they eat."
The need to binge is a spiritual hunger. It can only be assuaged with spiritual
food. You know how koala bears eat nothing but eucalyptus leaves? The soul is
something like that It can only be nourished by Love. (There's that capital again.)
You see, all genuine love is good - love from your family, your friends, even your
companion animals - but the kind you need for this purpose can't be filtered
through anyone else. It has to be from the Source: Love that's within you so you
don't have to look for it, that's already yours so you don't have to earn it, that
can't stop loving so you needn't worry about losing it.
I think that was the kind Rilke was referring to when he wrote in Letters to a
Young Poet, "... believe in a love that is being held for you like an inheritance and
trust that in this love there is a strength and a blessing, out beyond which you do
not have to step in order to go very far!" (**)
That inheritance is yours. You claim it first by wanting it. Once you do, you'll be
eager to put into practice the principles you'll learn in this book. The first are
these:
1. Accept that your food problem is serious, that you can't deal with it on
your own.
2. Open your mind to the idea that a Higher Power can help
3. Allow that Power - call it Love, call it God, call it whatever feels absolutely
right to you - to work some wonders in your life.
"The need to binge is a spiritual hunger."
If you're familiar with the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, adopted by

Overeaters Anonymous, Gamblers Anonymous, Co-dependents Anonymous,
and numerous other groups, you'll recognize these three concepts as an
interpretation of the first three Steps.
People in the Anonymous programs sometimes abbreviate these Steps as, "I
can't, God can, I'll let Him (or Her or It)." However worded, this formula is
common to men and women of all ages and cultures who have built, or rebuilt,
their lives on a spiritual basis, letting go of old ways that didn't work and inviting in
something that does.
A LIFETIME ADVENTURE
3 of 7 02/10/2010 14:18
Spiritualizing your thoughts and attitudes is an adventure that can last a lifetime.
To instigate the process, particularly as it affects your eating, take the following
actions today and every day for the next month.
1. Each morning before your feet touch the floor, ask your Higher Power to
help you eat reasonably that day, and say thank you at night even if your
eating didn't seem perfect.
2. When you get to a mirror to wash your face or shave, look yourself in the
eye and say, "I love you just the way you are." You don't have to believe
it, just do it.
3. Read over the "Revolutionary Concepts" (below) morning and evening.
4. Get some quiet time to yourself every single day - at least ten minutes
worth. If you have to take this time in the bathtub to get privacy, fine.
During your quiet minutes, read over the first three of the Twelve Steps
(Appendix D) and think about them. Do you really believe that you're
powerless over your addiction or is there something else you'd like to try?
Can you contemplate the possibility that a Higher Power could help? Can
you consider making a decision to put that Higher Power in charge of your
will and your life?
(Writing your thoughts on this in ajournal isn't required, but it can be
helpful.)
5. Do not diet. Think instead in terms of not eating for a fix one day at a time.
Get three reasonable meals every day and before each one ask your
Higher Power to help you eat wisely. If you want to eat between meals,
converse with your Higher Power. If you're really hungry, have a piece of
fruit.
6. Do two nice things for yourself today - one that you think you "should"
(make the bed, floss your teeth, swim laps), and one that's just for fun
(take a bubble bath, rent a video, call a friend long-distance). Don't be
surprised if it's easier to enjoy the work than the play.
7. Enlist some support. At the very least, read this book with a friend and
then help each other along. You'll do yourself a far greater favor if you
hook up with a support group already organized that uses proven
principles to help food addicts recover. I recommend Overeaters
Anonymous. OA will teach you to incorporate the Twelve Steps into your
life while providing an unparalleled support system of people who
understand. OA meetings are in every major city and most smaller ones,
and there is no charge for membership. (For more information, see the listing for
Overeaters Anonymous in Appendix C, "Some Helpful Organizations.")
"When you get to a mirror, look yourself in the eye and say, "I
love you just the way you are." You don't have to believe it,
just do it."
If you're feeling overwhelmed by all this, relax.

You're not in a competition and you don't have to
pass a quiz. Many of the ideas you have just read
are probably new to you. Give yourself time to let
them settie, and feel free to read this chapter
more than once before you go further. You're
embarking on a transformational journey. That's
no small thing. It's certainly understandable if
you're feeling some trepidation. There is a lot at
stake here. Old patterns of doing things are going
to be replaced. They don't want to get fired.
While you're making layoffs, you may also want to

consider trading any old images of a punishing,
wrathful deity for a Higher Power that loves you
no matter what You II need one that isn t just interested in great, cosmic events
but one that's interested in you and seeing you out of your food addiction. The
image I like is that if God were the sun, each and every one of us would get our
own personal beam, keeping us safe and warm. You can use any image that
speaks to you. Just get used to being loved unconditionally. Before long, you'll be
loving yourself unconditionally, too. (Unconditional, you know, includes thighs.)
And you are not only lovable. You are also, whether you realize it or not, spiritual.
Do not think for an instant that because the solution to food addiction is spiritual,
4 of 7 02/10/2010 14:18
food addicts themselves somehow aren't.

In the midst of a binge, anyone's spirituality is on temporary hold, but your
inherent spiritual identity persists. Being overweight, bulimic, or in some
other way obsessed with food or with your body does not negate that
identity.
All the inner growth you've done up to this point counts, too. Only you and God
know how far you've had to come to get here, to the point where you can look
honestly at yourself and what you are eating. Give yourself some credit, and
resist the urge to compare yourself to anyone else. Many people have never had
a serious problem with food. Others have overcome food addictions while you
were growing through something else. All that matters now is that you've suffered
with this long enough. It's your turn to be free - body and spirit.
PHASE OUT FAT DAYS
Do you ever have fat days? On fat days you feel fat regardless of your size.
These days can be precipitated by eating too much, a little too much, or just what
you think is too much. They can also be brought on by such seeming irrelevancies
as having dirty hair or an argument with someone who's important in your life.
Losing weight isn't a fully satisfactory response to fat days since they're so
subjective. As an extreme but telling example, think of anorexics. I've visited
some in hospitals who were painfully, even frighteningly, emaciated, yet who felt
fat. For them, every day was a fat day, although they had literally been in danger
of dying from malnutrition.
"Spiritual recovery means more than an end to eating for a fix.

It also implies befriending your body."
While anorexia is a psychiatric disorder that requires professional help, seeing

the body in a distorted way is so common that it's generally accepted as the way
things are. But what if instead of fat days you had poison ivy days, when you
itched all over even though there was nothing organically wrong? It would seem
like a problem, wouldn't it? Well, fat days are a problem, too, because they're
days on which you tend to love yourself less than you deserve. You are lovable
every day. You can't force yourself to believe that, but you can allow for the
possibility that it's true to enter your world view. Allowing for such possibilities is
a spiritual activity because it happens deep within you.
A long time ago a friend said to me, "When I'm 150

pounds going up, I'm the fattest, ugliest person on
earth, but when I'm 150 coming down, I'm absolutely
beautiful." In the years since she made that
statement, my friend has done a lot of inner work to
realize that she's beautiful all the time. It so happens
that she hasn't had an eating binge in a dozen years,
so the whole notion of "going up" and "coming down"
only touches her life today as it relates to elevators
and airplane trips.
Spiritual recovery means more than an end to eating
for a fix. It also implies befriending your body. You
don't wait to do that until after you've reached some
arbitrary goal weight. You do it today, the first day that you put your food
choices in the hands of a loving Higher Power.
The imaging ability of the mind that can be twisted to give you fat days can be
uplifted to give you attractive and healthy days. As these days go by, your
physical body will catch up with your mental image. Since the body is subject to
physical laws, it will take some time for its form to change, but the time it takes
for you to be happy and to have an attractive, healthy day is no time at all. Enjoy
it.
REVOLUTIONARY CONCEPTS
These revolutionary concepts aren't for taking over embassies, they're the
beginners' basics for revolutionizing your relationship with your body and how you
feed it. Read them over morning and evening for thirty days, paying particular
attention to those with which you may feel uncomfortable. It's possible that those
won't apply to you at all, but it's more likely that they're precisely the ones that
5 of 7 02/10/2010 14:18
can mean the most in your recovery.
You are acceptable right now, regardless of what you ate yesterday or
what the scale has to say about you.
Abusing food is a sign of internal imbalance, and overcoming it is largely

an inside job.
Food addiction is serious and, like other addictions, progressive. Few

genuine addicts have ever recovered without a spiritual basis.
Your spirituality is personal. You don't have to take on someone else's

brand.
You are a spiritual being living in a physical body. Your body is an

integral part of the totality that is you.
Your body is not an independent entity; it reflects what's going on inside

you - emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
It's okay to feel beautiful right now. If you wait until you're thin to feel
beautiful, you may never get there.
If you don't eat for a fix today, that long string of tomorrows that seems
so foreboding will take care of itself.
Your body is not your enemy. You are in this together. When you do
something nice for your body, you're doing something nice for yourself.
Having a food addiction does not make you a bad person. Both medicine
and psychology recognize addiction as an illness, not a moral issue.
You don't have to be perfect to get well, and it's even all right to be a little
bit scared.
Ideas you're not sure of can be tried out, like taking a car on a test drive. If, for
example, the thought of a spiritual solution to your food problem doesn't seem
logical, you can consider it a possibility, a working hypothesis.
"Food addiction is serious and, like other addictions,

progressive. Few genuine addicts have ever recovered without
a spiritual basis."

teaching that responsibility for disease
rests squarely upon the shoulders of the sick and suffering and
that responsibility for recovery rests upon the same shoulders.
After he has repeated these Hygienic teachings, he offers his
readers a great array of herbal "remedies." Can he give herbs
to stop sexual excesses and abuses; will herbs correct gluttony;
will they cause the patient to control his emotional life or to
secure more sleep; will they render white bread adequate or

make amends.

DISCUSSION ABOUT HERBS IN INHS EMAIL GROUP
Is there any use for herbs in NH? (I don't mean veggies.) jerry
Some herbs help make delicious salad dressings--marjoram,

oregano, sage, rosemary, lemon grass, coriander (cilantro to
you N. Americans) etc. Steve
Herb composition: This is the way I see it: Everything we eat

contains these 3 parts: nutrients, fiber
(inert stuff) and toxins. The best food has
minimal toxins and maximal nutrients, and
(optionally) some fiber.
All herbs have nutrients, but they also

have toxins. You want to choose the ones
that NOT have too much toxins. E.g.
parsley is dark green, has lots of nutrients, and a little toxins.
We know it is a little toxic because of its somewhat sharp taste.
And because this taste stops us from eating a whole plate of
parsley.
We could use an herb if we can use its nutrients. And if there is
so little toxicity, that the body can deal with the toxins quickly,
and still have time/energy to digest the nutrients. (But we would
lose less energy, and get more nutrients, on e.g. the same
amount of dark green salad.) We want to avoid toxins, as much
as possible, in NH. Why? Because it is an energy drain for the
body to remove them. Toxins are a chemical threat, and have to
be removed immediately by the body, to avoid damage. (If there
is not enough energy to remove the toxins, our body will be
damaged.) But we always have a choice.
Example: We can choose to eat an herb with our food, and lose
a little energy - while perhaps saving energy on being more
happy because we like the taste. Unhappiness is an energy
drain as well.
Why are herbs used for "medical" purposes?
Because people are after the toxicity. The toxic

stimulated because of the sudden rush to
throw the toxin out. And we lose so much
energy that certain disease symptoms will stop
(because the detox will stop temporarily). So it
will LOOK LIKE the disease has stopped.
But as hygienists we want to keep the detox going, and we
want to have high energy, because we want the CAUSE of our
diseases to disappear. We don't want a cosmetic solution, Anna
4 of 7 02/10/2010 14:19
And here's the rest of the story. Herbs, spices, dressings,

chutneys, relish, sauces, and gravies cause us to eat more of a
food than we would without them. As a result, we eat too much
of some things and too little of others. Frequent exposure to
intense flavours blunts our senses of taste and smell, so we find
natural food bland without them. Intense flavours are stimulating
and enervating -- and addictive. Cravings for a flavour fix kick in
long before hunger does. If you don't want plain food, then
you're not hungry. Wait. - Stefan
"If you don't want plain food, then you're not

hungry. Wait."
I believe Stefan is correct. Steve
Hi Stefan, I couldn't agree more. -- Peace be with you, Stefan.

I think Stefan is correct too. John
right on, stefan... and i find combining foods tricks me into

eating more than i would if i eat one food at a time norm :))~
HERBS-WHY NOT TO USE THEM

HERBS ARE NOT FOODS. HERBS ARE USED AS DRUGS
Anything that goes into the body is digested and used according
to body needs. If it can be used, it is a food. The living body will
not absorb but reject herbs as toxic. Herbs are not employed as
foods but drugs. Herbs, like all drugs, are used to suppress and
temporarily relieve symptoms and thereby enervate the body
and cause toxemia. Herbs do not remove the causes of
disease. The dictionary defines as a drug, "any substance,
whether vegetable or mineral, used for medicinal purposes." An
herb is defined as a "plant or plant part valued for its medicinal,
savory, or aromatic qualities." As America's foremost
herbologist, Michael Moore of Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA,
wrote, "Herbs have cumulative toxic effects. Most medicinal
herbs have little or no value as nutrients and should be viewed
instead as purposely ingested mild toxins."
HERBS DO NOT "CURE" All herbal "cures"have two things in
common-they do not remove causes, and they do not constitute
normal needs of health and life. No herbal substance foreign to
the body can "cure" the body. Something that makes a healthy
person sick, cannot make a sick person healthy. Only
substances and practices that promote health can enable the
return of health. You "cure" ham, not living beings. Many
mistakenly believe that certain herbal therapies or treatments
can perform specific actions upon the body to effect a "cure".
The idea is that some extra-vital herbal agent or influence can,
of its own power, restore health to a sick living being.
PEOPLE SELF-HEAL IN SPITE OF, NOT BECAUSE OF THE
HERBS EATEN Only your inherent intelligence, your God within,
can homeostatically heal your body. If a sick person who has
taken an herb recovers, he/she self heals, in spite of the herb,
not because of the herb. The alleged '"curative" effects of all
herbs are the efforts of the body to resist and expel them.
5 of 7 02/10/2010 14:19
Herbs, instead of being digested and being utilized as foods, are

expelled as toxic.
HERBS, LIKE ALL DRUGS, WILL KILL YOU IF TAKEN IN
LARGE DOSES All plants are herbs. There are millions of
different plants and herbs on earth. They also contain toxins.
The inherent intelligence, the God within, tells us which plants
and herbs to eat, by their respective palatability. If something is
to be eaten as a food, it can be digested and absorbed and
may become part of the body's structure, blood, cells, tissue,
nerve, etc., and the body thereby, feels and functions
satisfactorily. Unprocessed herbs as grown in the wild, generally
are bitter, strong, foul tasting, repulsive and nauseating. If you
eat an unpalatable herb, your body rejects it by causing you to
vomit, to have diarrhea, to increase urination, to increase
sweating, walls it off by the formation of a cyst or tumor or in
any other manner speedily expels it. If something to be eaten, is
not palatable, it is toxic for the living being. All herbs are fatal
when taken in large enough doses. Those unprocessed plants
that are palatable, will not kill you, if eaten in large quantities.
Wild animals refuse to eat many of the plants growing around
them.
HERBS CAUSE SYMPTOMATIC DISTRESS Unpalatable herbs
when eaten, cause the inherent intelligence, the God within, in
an attempt to expel the herbs, to produce pain, dizziness, other
physiological discomforts, mental distress, such as
hallucinations and delusions and spiritual dysfunction.
HERBS ARE NOT USED FOR THEIR NUTRITIONAL VALUES
Herbalists do not use herbs for their nutritive qualities. In
addition to using herbs as drugs, they also use them as home
remedies, cosmetics, gourmet condiments, seasonings,
perfumes, household scents, packs, compresses, ointments,
insect repellents and antiseptics. Bernarr
Hi Jerry, As I understand it, the term herb covers a wide range

of plants that can be divided into two categories - medicinal
herbs and edible herbs. Those coming within the range of
medicinal being toxic to the human body, and those being edible
and non-toxic. Further that in the true definition of the term all
edible plants are herbs. John

"Disease action is not a mere haphazzard

process, but serves a distinct and a useful
purpose or end - the removal of offenses."
Acute disease is a temporary, an evanescent, state. It arises

under those conditions, as before explained, when unusual
defensive action is required if life is to be preserved. The
occasion or cause of disease removed or corrected, so that it is
no longer operative, the organism quickly subsides into its usual
tranquil state.
2 of 6 02/10/2010 14:20
This is to say, as soon as the body, by means of the disease,

has succeeded in freeing itself of danger, it returns to its normal
state of ease and equilibrium.
In certain "diseases"
there occur changes
which, if permitted to
remain, would
endanger life. The
organism possesses
power to effect the
removal and
correction of these,
and bring about a
more or less
completely natural condition in the parts. As an example notice
the retrograde changes which occur in the absorption of the
exuded serum in the lungs in pneumonia, and the restoration of
normal circulation through the lungs. The limit of this condition is
determined by the power of the body to remove it. The exudate
is not self-limited.
If there is no necessity for a protracted disease - a prolonged

renovating process - the vital forces can be driven into one only
by "care and treatment" that produce such a necessity. If a cold
is all that is required to cleanse the organism, a pneumonia,
pleurisy, smallpox or measles, etc., will not be developed. Only
such disease manifestations are developed as are needed.
What is more, once these operations have thoroughly completed
their work, the body cannot be driven again through the same.
Herbert M. Shelton, Human Life - Its Philosophies and Laws, 1928
"The normal passes so gradually into the

Florence Nightingale: Diseases are Adjectives -

not Nouns
Florence Nightingale, who taught the English physicians and

surgeons the value of cleanliness, declares in her Notes on
Nursing (1860), pp. 32-3:
"Is it not living in a continual

mistake to look upon disease,
as we do now, as separate
entities, which must exist, like
cats and dogs? Instead of
looking upon them as
conditions, like a dirty and a
3 of 6 02/10/2010 14:20
clean condition, and just as

much, under our own control;
or rather as the reactions of
kindly nature, against the
conditions in which we have placed ourselves.
"I was brought up, both by scientific men and
ignorant women, distinctly to believe that
small-pox, for instance, was a thing of which there
was once a first specimen in the world, which went
on propagating itself, in a perpetual chain of
descent, just as much as that there was a first
dog, (or a first pair of dogs) and that small-pox
would not begin itself any more than a new dog
would begin without there having been a parent
dog.
"Since then I have seen with my eyes and smelt
with my nose small-pox growing up in first
specimens, either in close rooms, or in
overcrowded wards, where it could not by any
possibility have been 'caught' but must have
begun.
"Nay, more, I have

seen diseases begin,
grow up and pass into
one another. Now, dogs
do not pass into cats.
"I have seen, for
instance, with a little
overcrowding,
continued fever grow up; and with a little more,
typhoid fever; and with a little more, typhus, and
all in the same ward or hut.
"Would it not be far better, truer, and more
practical, if we looked upon disease in this light?
"For diseases, as all experience shows, are
adjectives, not noun substantives."
Miss Nightingale distinctly recognized the unity of "Morbid"

phenomena and saw that the names of the nosology are merely
terms descriptive of varying conditions and not names for
entities or things. She saw as well that this wealth of terms only
confuses and misleads both the laity and the professions.
"Look upon disease as conditions, like a dirty and

a clean condition, and just as much, under our
own control."

"Inflammation may develop simultaneously in different organs;

or, what is more frequently the case, one organ may become
congested and inflamed; and, as time passes and the general

STAGE SIX IS INDURATION:
Induration is the result of long-standing, chronic inflammation with bouts of acute
inflammation interspersed. The chronic inflammation causes an impairment or
sluggishness of circulation: and because some cells succumb, they are replaced with
scar tissue. This is the way we lose good, normal-functioning cells - by chronic
inflammation and death of cells. Toxins may or may not be encapsulated in a tumor,
sac, wen, or polyp. ...

Before we get to the induration (tumor) stage, we must
have ignored the preceding 5 stages (enervation,
toxemia, irritation, inflammation, ulceration). These
stages must have produced warnings. Only if we don't
listen, and continue the disease-causing life-style, will the
disease continue to the next stage.
(Note: stage 6 = (benign) induration/tumors; stage 7 = (malignant) cancer.)

Herbert M. Shelton: TUMORS
Care of the Patient:

INCORRECT APPROACH
Doctors and surgeons commonly believe that there is no "cure" for
fibroid tumor except its surgical removal. While surgery is still
preferred for other types of tumors, X-ray and radium are frequently
used in treating them. Neither removal of tumors by the knife nor
their destruction by X-ray or radium removes their cause and they
usually recur, often in malignant form.
CORRECT APPROACH
Radical cure of tumors requires a removal of all causes of metabolic
perversion and a restoration of normal nutrition. When this is done,
tumors tend to disappear.
AUTOLYTIC DISINTEGREATION
Tumors being composed of tissues, the same kinds of tissues as the other structures of the
body, are susceptible of autolytic disintegration, the same as normal tissue, and do, as a
matter of experience, undergo dissolution and absorption under a variety of circumstances,
but especially during a fast. The reader who can understand how fasting reduces the
amount of fat on the body and how it reduces the size of the muscles, can also understand
how it will reduce the size of a tumor, or cause it to disappear altogether. He needs, then,
only to realize that the process of disintegrating (autolyzing) the tumor takes place much
more rapidly than it does in the normal tissue.
RATE OF ABSORPTION VARIES

Due to a variety of circumstances, some known, others unknown - the type of tumor, its
location, the amount of weight carried by the patient, the general state of the body, local
conditions, etc. - the rate of absorption of tumors in fasting individuals varies. Let me cite
two extreme cases to show the wide range of variation in this process.
A woman, under forty, had a uterine fibroid about the size of an average grapefruit. It was
completely absorbed in twenty-eight days of total abstinence from all food but water. This
was an unusually rapid rate of absorption.
Another case is that of a similar tumor in a woman of about the same age. In this case the
growth was about the size of a goose egg. One fast of twenty-one days reduced the tumor to
the size of an English walnut. The fast was broken due to the return of hunger. Another fast a
few weeks subsequent, of seventeen days, was required to complete the absorption of the
tumor. This was an unusually slow rate of tumor-absorption.
3 DAYS TO 3 WEEKS DISAPPEARANCE

Tumor-like lumps in female breasts ranging from the size of a pea to that of a goose egg
will disappear in from three days to as many weeks. Here is a remarkable case of this kind
that will prove both interesting and instructive to the reader.
A young lady, age 21, had a large, hard lump - a little smaller than a
billiard ball - in her right breast. For four months it had caused her
considerable pain. Finally she consulted a physician who diagnosed
the condition, cancer, and urged immediate removal. She went to
another, and another and still another physician, and each made the
same diagnosis (an unusual thing) and each urged immediate removal.
3 of 5 02/10/2010 14:21
Instead of resorting to surgery the young lady resorted to fasting and in

exactly three days without food, the "cancer" and all its attendant pain
were gone. There has been no recurrence in thirteen years and I feel
that we are justified in considering the condition cured.
Hundreds of such occurrences under fasting have convinced us that many "tumors" and
"cancers" are removed by surgeons that are not tumors or cancers. They cause us to be
very skeptical of the statistics issued to show that early operation prevents or cures cancer.
...
In Europe and America literally thousands of tumors have been autolyzed during the past
fifty years, and the effectiveness of the method is beyond doubt. ...

SEVEN DAY FIBROID TUMOR AUTOLYSIS
Dr. Ben Kim's Natural Health Newsletter

August 16, 2005
Greetings...
Last week was a mighty busy one at our fasting clinic. The highlight was one of our guests
waking up on day 7 of her water-only fast and discovering that she could no longer feel the
large uterine fibroid that she had been carrying around for years in her lower abdomen.
I can confirm from the evaluation that I did on her first day with us that she had a mass
that was about the size of a medium-sized adult fist in her lower abdomen, diagnosed by
ultrasound as a uterine fibroid before she arrived. I couldn't find even a trace of a mass
when I did a thorough re-check of her abdomen on day 7.
I was, of course, extremely happy for her healing experience. Although some of the guests
who visit our clinic experience obvious symptoms of cleansing and detoxification like
diarrhea and vomiting, it never gets old to see a dramatic change like the melting away of
a benign tumour. ...

Toronto area, north of the

SAFETY:
TODAY - BETTER AVOID FASTING FOR TUMORS & CANCER --- SAFER
TO START WITH RAW FOODS.
Important: today, avoid water-only fasting for detoxification. Instead - start with raw
diets = to build strength. Do short fasts later.
Why? ---- For safety-reasons.
NEW UNDERSTANDING - NEW TOXIC DANGERS:

Why "safety-reasons"? - Because - at least in USA and other industrialized countries -
today people are more toxic than ever before, which also makes them deficient. And with
too high toxicity & deficiency, we must avoid prolonged fasting. Instead we must prepare
for fasting with raw foods or raw juices. This will make the fasting safe!
(EXCEPTION: If you have never had industrial-processed food, & never been on medical
drugs, & are non-deficient - then you may possibly go ahead the old-fashioned way, with a
longer fast.)
EXAMPLE for new-comers: Start out with a one-day fast, and break it correctly on raw
foods or raw juices, followed by a raw diet (or almost-raw). Repeat the 1-day fast a couple
of times. Then try a 2-day fast, a couple of times - then a 3-day fast. Inbetween a
mainly-raw diet (with veggies & animal foods).
THE LATEST UNDERSTANDING: Raw foods + short fasts is safer & will give better
results than a long fast (for new-beginners). Fasting is more difficult today, than during the
mid-1900's!! (At least for typical Westerners, who nowadays are both too toxic & deficient;

typically with hundreds of toxins in their blood.)

Timeless Teachings - Herbert Shelton Library - 1995

Health Science article
ANHS continues the celebration of the 100th anniversary of Dr

Shelton's birth with a look inside the ANHS Herbert Shelton
Library.
The extraordinary heritage of Natural Hygiene is safely
preserved in the Herbert Shelton Library, located at the ANHS
National Headquarters in Tampa, Fla. The collection consists
of hundreds of books and periodicals; many are one-of-a-kind.
Most of these irreplaceable items were collected over a
lifetime by Dr. Shelton.
Herbert M Shelton (1895-1985) was one of the co-founders of

the American Natural Hygiene Society Before his death, ANHS
purchased Dr Shelton's priceless collection of books on the
extensive history of Natural Hygiene dating back to the 1830's.
Beginning with Isaac Jennings, M.D., in the 1830s, an
unbroken line of physicians worked tirelessly to formulate the
comprehensive science of health that we call Natural
Hygiene.The writings of these men and women were far ahead
of their times.
Some of the more prominent authors, in addition to
Dr.Jennings, include William A.Alcott, M.D.; Russell TTrall,
M.D.; Harriet Austin, M.D.; James C.Jackson, M.D.;Thomas
L. Nichols, M.D.; Mary Gove Nichols; Charles F. Page, M.D.;
Susannah W. Dodds, M.D.; Felix L. Oswald, M.D.; and John
H.Tilden, M.D.
This image of Dr Shelton - rescued from an old severely damaged pri nting
plate (center), was reprinted (left) and fully restored (right) using computer
technology.
A rescued photograph
During a visit to Dr. Shelton's home in San Antonio,Texas,
ANHS Executive Director James Michael Lennon met with Dr.
Shelton's children, Willowdeen Rossner and Walden Shelton,
who donated many valuable items to the Library. These
included an old printing plate showing a picture of Dr. Shelton
as a young man. The printing plate had been badly scratched
and damaged during the decades since it had been made. But
with the generous help of ANHS member Stan Darrah, who is
a printer, we were able to make a print from the plate. Then,
with the help of computer technology, we were able to have all
of the damage repaired.The fully-restored picture shows a
young, handsome Dr. Shelton. Now we have a rare and
previously-unknown photograph of Dr. Shelton that would have
been lost.
3 of 5 02/10/2010 14:21
Preservation continues with help from

members
Now in its 11th year, the
Herbert Shelton Library is a
tribute to the support of ANHS
members who have helped to
assure its preservation and
growth. Hundreds of members
have made contributions to
help, and the name of every
ANHS member who has made
a gift to the library is recorded
in a Friends of the library book on view in the
library. The important preservation work of the
library continues. Many books are in need of
repair due to broken bindings and general decay
over time. These books are kept safely in glass
bookcases, and some are so fragile that they
cannot be handled.
A duplicate copy section of the library is being
created so that members can read through these
classics when they visit.
Health Science, magazine of ANHS, 1995
The tradition continues

The pioneering work of the early Hygienists has continued into
the 20th century through the efforts of the members of the
International Association of Professional Natural
Hygienists.These men and women are licensed physicians who
make Hygienic care the focal point of their practices.
